In the beginning was poetry. The book of Genesis starts with a liturgical poem.
The creation of the cosmos can only be communicated, the ancients knew, through language that speaks to the imagination — that unity of intellect and emotion, which was for the biblical writers the restless human heart. Images and metaphors are primary speech, conveyers of truth — durable yet pliable, precise yet ever expansive in the vision of the world (and ourselves) they set before us.
How do we fulfill the dream that was bequeathed to us? By practicing the joyful art of doing life together across racial categories without fear.

Your Comments
SOF: Reality check. Ten
SOF: Reality check. Ten years ago your focus on the Emerging movement (what? three shows in the past year?) might have made sense. Even then it was a tiny cohort and only influential within a small minority of people (many of whom are now atheists, deists, buddhists, or new agers) but it was at least a fairly wide topic of conversation. The movement today, though, is reduced to a handful of bloggers with an outsized sense of their own importance and influence talking mainly to themselves and a cabal of self-promoting conference speakers/consultants/writers/egoists. Their claim that they speak for the future of Christianity is laughably silly at this point and your carrying water for them really brings your judgment (or at least impartiality) into question.
As for McLaren, while he's correct that the form of warped Christianity that was created in the West to serve as chaplain to Modernism is deeply flawed and contains much that must be rejected if one wishes to be truly Christian, he is surprisingly unaware of how much the form of Christianity he imagines is nothing more than Christianity as chaplain to the new order. If he truly wants to restore Christianity his solution of transforming it into Moral Therapeutic Deism is hardly a winner.
Contrary to the opinion
Contrary to the opinion expressed in the previous comment, my own experience suggests that various elements of Emergence are becoming more and more prevalent in congregations that are bucking the current decline in church attendance and membership. In the case of my own lively church, a recent adult forum on Emergence attended by folks who had never been exposed to the concept revealed that we are moving into the Emergent stream without even realizing it. A large and flourishing church in our metropolitan area has begun referring to itself as Anglomergent in its printed communications and on its websites. This movement is much bigger than a handful of bloggers talking to themselves. It very well could be the salvation of Christianity.

Rearranging deckchairs on the anachronistic ship Religion. What Albert Einstein once referred to as the "mass indoctrination" "... of the most primitive superstitions". May it soon sink once and for all and relieve the world of it's absurd and puerile truth claims not least damaging of which are its homophobia , misogyny, tribalism etc.

I could not disagree more with your commentary. Maybe you should consider your third sentence as looking at the speck in your brothers' (sisters") eye (s), without realizing your own plank. Perhaps you should be more charitable in your comments about being "truly Christian", if you searched more for His mind.

I've wondered why you haven't interviewed Bishop John Shelby Spong before now.

The realization that "their questions were better than my answers" may be held by, I hope is held by, many religious leaders.
I am a stranger in this
I am a stranger in this stange land of northwest Florida. Brian Mclaren speaks my language. Desperately seek those who connect with this way of viewing God and the religion of Gods beauty. I cant be the ONLY one here.
I am a witness to the spirit
I am a witness to the spirit of what Brian is testifying about! Since the beginning God has sent his people/prophets to edify his children/church. As his Holy Spirit comforts, nurtures and reveals his Kingdom. Nations, Rulers, Warlords and Religious leaders have long since perverted and exploited the peoples for power and greed and all have met their demise. Yet be not afraid and claim the goodness and beauty that which has been revealed to you. Prophets, such as Abraham to Jesus, Buddah, Mohammed and you who have ears to hear continue to witness that the "KINGDOM HAS COME"! We re all lost souls. Strangers in a strange land. Rich and poor alike searching for deliverance one moment and then tempted by the deceiver the next.. Confronted by oneself to find fault in the past or foreboding in the future. Everything shall pass away. All evil shall be destroyed. Only his "WORD" which is his design shall last. No respect to Country, Race , Creed or Person. GRACE FOR ALL!
Loved the show and could
Loved the show and could relate with what Brian said. I need to check out his books. At times I thought I was listening to Richard Rohr in both content and his voice. Richard would be a great addition to your show. I had never heard of "the nones" and at first thought I might be classified there having given up Catholicism and organized religion quite some time ago. But I have been a spiritual seeker all my life so perhaps that isn't the category where I belong. Loved the end where he talked about the economics of disparity and his interaction with the farmworkers.
I usually try to catch "On
I usually try to catch "On Being" on NPR at 7am on Sundays.
This Sunday's guest was Brian McClaren, who takes an interesting approach to his Christian faith.
Some of what he is saying squares with contemporary Heathen (Asatru) approach to religion.
What I am speaking of is his belief that religion should be a series of stories, not a corporate system or a tool of government and empire.
Being polytheists, Asatruar also see room for all faiths and all gods in the wider world. You follow your gods, I'll follow mine.
I also like that he seemed to hint that monotheism is not true even in a Christian context since the Christians have a trinity.
I was pleasantly surprised to hear him admit that Christianity had been a tool for taking peoples land, gold and culture away from them, in the south Americas turning them into slaves, in the northern Americas putting them on reservations.
The only thing that was missing was an admission that this was just a re-play of what the church had done in northern Europe.
1500 years ago a northerly crusade invaded Europe in an attempt to wipe-out the old ways, burn the ancestors, steal land and resources and demonize the Gods. Why ? because the old way couldn't be repackaged and sold back to the people the way Christianity could. It was a capitalistic corporate model: "Create A Need And Sell A Product To Fulfill The Need"
Thank you, OnBeing!
Thank you, OnBeing!
Really good moving toward what the stories say to or in our hearts, and away from the 'lie' in be_lie_f (conceptualized, encapsulated, and concretized). Right on track! This is the direction in which our world is moving - and not just Christians. We're coming back into our bodies and getting out of our heads. Which of the great stories we choose doesn't matter. What matters is how they come to life in our hearts! Coming to life, and leaving the dead to bury their dead.
The view presented by this
The view presented by this week's guest, Brian McClaren, and interviewed by Krista Tippett, did not jibe with my experience or my knowledge of history. Contrary to the belief expressed by both of the above, the movement I have seen in organized religion in the 80s and 90s was by far to the "Left" as seen in the embrace of personal spirituality and experience and the noisy petition for an increased government to take care of the needy and other, say environmental, issues (case in point, the Catholic bishop's letters to the government calling for an expansion of programs for the poor and needy). The movement back to the political Right has only occurred in the last 5 years as a result of the experience, often repeated throughout history, of the government using a facade of concern for social issues to expand and solidify its own power and then turning against the religious leaders who had supported the rise to power. This has expressed itself in a movement among the Christian churches towards greater education and the development of more subtle, less abrasive, and more successful "debate tactics" and a distrust of government alliances.
Moreover, the confusion, expressed in this interview, of the historic Christian church with political government is Protestant revisionism at its worst. True, the heady and pivotal experience of Constantine's support for the Christian Church has influenced the church throughout subsequent history but that experience also revealed the dangers of such an alliance. Constantine was also known for his extreme brutality. Similarly, the blame so skillfully applied to the Christian churches in this interview for the rise of Nazi Germany is also ridiculous. Brutal governments know that you only have to kill a few religious or other opposition leaders to insure silence or even compliance. One can not with integrity, though, blame the victim for the crime.
McClaren is apparently very charismatic but that does not make what he is saying, however logical on the surface, accurate, true or right. Equating Christian organizations with the egocentric machinations of secular governments with which they have to deal, while perhaps true now and again in this world of men, is itself political chicanery.
Regarding the issue of blame
Regarding the issue of blame toward the Christian Church with the rise of Nazi Germany, notwithstanding the extraordinary heroism of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Brian McLaren is on target.
I don't think you know your
I don't think you know your history any better than the person you are criticizing. The Religious Right has been around for decades not just the last 5 years.
As I read your comment, I was
As I read your comment, I was struck by something I had not considered before.....you're right, Protestants have moved toward a "personal spirituality"; hence all the non-denominational churches that embrace rock music and less formal rituals and services but stress community service as well as evangelism. And there also is the Catholic Church's advocation of gov't programs that support the needy.
But to suggest that mainstream Protestantism didn't start their conservative alliance with the Rupublican party back in the 1980's is disingenuous to say the least.
Besides Garrison Keillor, the
Besides Garrison Keillor, the most notorious former member of the Plymouth Brethren is Aleister Crowley.
Another option is to
Another option is to reconsider one's view of history. That Christianity became deformed by Constantine is a popular view, but it's not true, it's the Protestant view. The institutionalization of Christianity in the Church was a good thing: one can't blame colonialisation or the Holocaust on Christianity. And nothing wrong with Creeds. The Church mitigated their negative sides, the Catholic Church in fact condemned racial slavery in 1453. But the Catholic Church is also becoming less European. And your pointing out the problems with the economy and not to forget nuclear war is very good.
I don't see how
I don't see how institutionalizing a discussion of the divine could be a good thing. What happened in the 4th century is that discussion of who God is was suppressed. It was turned into a decision made by politicians and enforced by the military. Nonconformists were pushed out, churches and writings were burned. That it took until 1453 for the church to condemn slavery is a mark against them. Just ask the questions with an open mind, for example, what historical forces DID lead to the persecutions of Jews?
Is McLaren really an
Is McLaren really an Evangelical pastor? How many books of the Bible has he read and taught from? I'm perplxed about his statement that; "mono religion is foreign to the Bible." This statement is somewhat ambiguous. Does it mean that there is no one true God? The Prophet Ezekiel asked a pertinent question, "How should we then live"? (Ezekiel 33:10). Should Christians, Moslems, Buddhists, and everybody else worship together under one roof? The Apostle Paul would say, God forbid! Therefore, I beseech McLaren to examine the Scriptures again. The meaning and the future of the Christian Church is and will always be; "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ" (I Corinthians 3:11). The Apostle Paul was concerned about the gospel of Christ being perverted and warned the Galatians about this. He used the word accursed twice in Galatians chapter 1 to anyone who would preach another gospel. Paul never sought to please men and listen to what he said, "For if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ" (Galatians 1:10). You may call yourself an Evangrlican pastor, but you are not the servant of Christ if you preach another gospel. There is only one true God. The Judeo-Christian God. Two passages from the Old Testament and two from the New Testament made an exclusive declarations! (Isaiah 43:11, 45:22, John 14:6 and Acts 4:12).
Listen more closely,what he
Listen more closely,what he actually said was that mono-religious CULTURES were foreign in biblical times and he's correct in that assertion. Besides if there are no other Gods, why did yours need to instruct his people to not worship other deities or put them 'before me' ? The Gods of other faiths are as real and true for them as yours, like it or not.This type of judgmental attitude is exactly why I can appreciate most of the teachings of Jesus but can't deal with his so called followers
I was so excited hearing
I was so excited hearing Brian macarena on chrsra Tippett,today,tat for thefit time inky life,that I can remember,I was talking to the radio and shouting wow wow.so said to myself I must find out who this guy is,may be I'll join,may be I'll work for him or with him
May be this is something that I would rely be interested in.so I couldn't wait and immediately spent two or three hours,on YouTube listening to BM ,being interviewed and delivering lecture. I'm sorry to say,my negative gut reaction,was as strong s the first:this really an accomplished salesma and by the way so are the church leaders who oppose him,under the covers they are one and the same.
I found this program
I found this program fascinating and wonderful. A man of faith taking back his faith, aware of how institutional religion warped the origins. But the conversation needs to go further. Man created gods and then, God, to understand a world of mystery and danger. Prophets disseminated their beliefs and found followers. Early politicians discovered the power of "the Word" and institutiionalized the gospel. It seems OK to me that man created God. It is OK if there are lliteratures that we have come to accept as, well, gospel, if that serves a purpose of providing hope and faith in the unknowns of life. What isn't OK is the reliance on a fictional history, reinterpreted over hundreds of years, cannonized as truth, as if it were delivered all at once by a munifiscent being and his immaculate son. Credit to Brian McLaren for his quest to rediscover the origins of ancient folklore and for seeking the next antithesis.
I cried through the entire
I cried through the entire interview. Never have i heard anyone with the ablility to put into words the fragments of thoughts I have in regards to Christianity like Mr. McLaren did for me today. I have not identified as a Christian for about 15 years and dislike much of the system discussed, but have always had great respect for the messages of Jesus. Thank you for clarifying my thoughts and opening my imagination.
I should be more exact about
I should be more exact about the Catholic view of the Church. Catholics believe that the Eucharist has been with the Church since it's beginning at Pentecost, Jesus Christ's Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. And that Jesus' presence is at the center of the Church and is it's protection and guide and motive force. So the Church has been guided, like Israel in the time before Christ, and can't go seriously wrong (as is suggested about the time of Constantine) but is protected from error, and continues to grow until it reaches the 'full stature of Christ' as St. Paul says. (Of course, Catholics have free will and can fail in how they live their faith, which was the criticism at the time of the Reformation that was legitimate.)
These days, I substitute the
These days, I substitute the term diffuse for the concept of diversity. It helps me capture the subtleties of interdependence, flow, and the animating, intelligent force in whom we live and have our being. Think of aromatherapy diffuser reeds...
Excellent program. Much
Excellent program. Much appreciate McLaren's perspective and insights, and his faith journey. I am a Lutheran by both upbringing, seminary training, and spiritual foundation. Fr Richard Rohr, Marcus Borg, Thomas Merton, Joan Chittister, John O'Donohue, numerous others, and now McLaren bring insight and wisdom to the second half of life spiritual work, to borrow Fr Rohr's phrase. Thank you for his interview. Blessings on your work.
Brian McLaren is a leader in
Brian McLaren is a leader in the Progressive Evangelical movement – something I was unaware even existed. I really enjoyed Brian's point of view, so much so that I purchased one of his books to read over the summer. The interview focuses intently on the idea of Progressive Evangelicalism, what it is, and how those two words have so many misunderstandings associated with them.
Far and away, the thing I was most impressed with was Brian's outlook on religion. This may seem pretty basic, but I really appreciated his point of view, and would love to read more about his views. My girlfriend doesn't practice any specific religion, but she talks about spirituality frequently. The way she speaks about spirituality really reminds me of the way the Brian talks about Jesus. It's interesting, because Brian makes an important distinction between Christianity and Jesus. He even states that "Conversations about Jesus are completely different than conversations about Christianity", meaning that we all understand what Jesus was about. But Christianity has so many different variations and belief systems, that it winds up turning people away.
Brian also spent a great deal of time discussing the importance of not only keeping religion out of politics, but keeping politics out of religion. I think many would agree that in America, we've seen a negative impact on both institutions by each other. Speaking of institutions, Brian had this amazing idea that related Progressivism to Religions – that institutions (governments, religions, whatever) constantly need movements knocking at the door to challenge and move them forward. This was certainly an "ah hah!" moment for me, and it's stuck with me for days now. You can see that in religion with people like Martin Luther, in politics with people like FDR, and in society with people like Malcolm X. Society has the tendency to be still, but every movement forward has, on a whole, made for a better world, and we need people to keep doing that.

Like-Minded Conversations
Amy Ray and Emily Saliers — the Indigo Girls — on finding God in church and in smoky bars. And on music as a continuum of human existence.
She's the tattooed, Lutheran pastor of the House for All Sinners and Saints in Denver, a church where a chocolate fountain, a blessing of the bicycles, and serious liturgy come together. She's a face of the Emerging Church — redefining what church is, with deep reverence for tradition.
What might words like repentance or forgiveness mean, culturally, in this moment? These are questions of the emerging church, a loosely-defined movement that crosses generations, theologies and social ideologies in the hope of reimagining Christianity. With Phyllis Tickle and Vincent Harding, an honest and sometimes politically incorrect conversation on coming to terms with racial identity in the church and in the world.
Shane Claiborne is a leading spirit in a gathering movement of young people known as the New Monastics. Emerging from the edges of Evangelical Christianity, they are patterning their lives in response to the needs of the poor -- and the detachment they see in our culture's vision of adulthood.

Do the penguins ever do anything funny? Yes. One of my favorite things to see is "a penguin in a hurry". Although penguins are amazing in the water they are usually a little awkward on land. Especially if that penguin is in a hurry. What to look for. . . neck stretched up tall and wings pulled backward with chest out (for balance) and feet moving just about as fast as they can. How they keep themselves upright I'll never know. And many times it will be 8 or 10 birds at a time doing this behavior at the same time. Check out the live penguin cam for all the penguin fun.
We were disappointed when we couldn't see the penguins because the lights had been turned off at 6 p.m. Why aren't the lights on in the penguin exhibit all the time? Penguins are fascinating creatures with an interesting life cycle that is very dependent on the light cycle. They get physiological cues from the seasonal changes in length of daylight. Their courtship, breeding, and molting are all driven by photo-period.
Near the South Pole, the length of daylight throughout the year is much different than we experience here. To ensure our gentoo and macaroni penguins stay in tune with their life cycle, our exhibit lights are controlled to replicate the photo-period in the sub-Antarctic. The only difference is we have switched them to a Northern Hemispheric light cycle so their seasons match ours. Unfortunately, your visit coincided with the shorter hours of artificial daylight as the penguins transition from fall to winter.We plan to add our penguin lighting schedule to our website so visitors will know when the exhibit will be dark.

FINIS Hydro Hip
From Openwaterpedia
Strengthen Hip Rotation and Swim Faster by Using your Core Muscles
True swimming power comes from the hips, which makes the Hydro Hip such an important training tool. With two blades that sit on the hips, the Hydro Hip helps swimmers properly identify timing of the hips, arms and body. The Hydro Hip also improves core strength with resistance by working the muscles that aid in rotation. Best used during drills or short distances, the effects of the Hydro Hip are most felt when removed and the lessons of timing remain.

For years UN peacekeepers have been deployed to war-torn regions of the world from Rwanda to Serbia and Congo to East Timor.
Now it's America's turn.
Samuel Simpson is a young, idealistic journalist from Canada. Seeking adventure, he volunteers to become a records keeper for a UN war-crimes investigation team at work in upper New York State. Months earlier, a crippling terrorist attack against the United States resulted in its cities being emptied, its countryside set afire, and its government shaken to its knees.
In the aftermath of this attack, a virtual civil war broke out, until UN peacekeepers arrived to establish an uneasy peace. While Samuel and his team travel through the New York countryside, searching for evidence of an atrocious war crime, he promptly realizes that death is quick to strike from any farmhouse, road corner, or rest area. Even more chillingly, he begins to suspect that there is a traitor in his team, trying not only to conceal important evidence, but working to betray and kill them all, including the woman he loves.

Remember Me
George Kresge, now known as The Amazing Kreskin - remember him? - has floored us with yet another startling prediction for this year of 2009. He tells us:
There will be a growing movement in the US to follow in the steps of England, and that is to restrict, discourage, or even ban cell phones in restaurants.
Wow! How deep did he have to reach into his mental powers to come up with that stunner? Gee, I wish I could compare this with Sylvia Browne's prophecies for 2009, but she's decided that only those willing to pay her for her wise words can be entrusted with that precious knowledge... So I'll never know... Sigh...
I remember Kreskin on The Tonight Show years ago. I found him to be very amusing and his mentalist act was excellent. I do not recall him ever claiming that what he was doing was 'real'.
"Kreskin? written by Tressa, January 03, 2009 I thought Penn Jillette ate this guy years ago! "
his performances are harmless Having said that, there are probably many Canadians who came to believe in telepathy from watching his show.

INDIANAPOLIS — A dinged up Indianapolis Colts' defense will face a Kansas City squad that could provide a good test Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.
Yes, the Chiefs are 2-12 and failed to score in last week's 15-0 AFC West road loss to Oakland. But Kansas City does have a pretty good running back trio in Jamaal Charles, Shaun Draughn and Peyton Hillis.
Indianapolis' run defense gave up over 160 yards to Houston's Arian Foster last Sunday. Most of those yards came in the second half as the Texans continued to soften up the Colts' defensive front.
"Every week you've got somebody that's a challenge and he's the next guy out," Colts defensive coordinator Greg Manusky said of the speedy Charles.
"[The Chiefs] have a very good stretch cut scheme. He has great vision as a running back, good sight lines, tough runner, hard runner and he sets up his running lanes with the offensive line in front of him. They work well together as a unit."
Inside linebacker Pat Angerer likens the Kansas City running attack to what the Texans do best.
"Yeah, they're good. They run a lot of stretch, like we just played, a lot of cutback. Then you put in [Hillis] and he's a big, power guy. It'll be a good challenge, but it'll be fun."
What will really be fun is if the Colts can come away from the game with a win. Indianapolis can clinch a spot in the AFC playoffs with a victory over Kansas City.
That's been the goal since early in the season since coach Chuck Pagano was forced to take a leave of absence as he was treated for a form of leukemia.
Pagano, though, has been cleared to return to work by his doctors. There's a pretty good chance that he will return to his duties next week, just in time for next week's regular-season finale with AFC South rival Houston.
Injury list -- Inside linebacker Jerrell Freeman returned to practice Thursday and there is a chance that he will play Sunday.
Freeman suffered a thumb injury in last week's loss to Houston. He was held out of Wednesday's practice as he watched from the sidelines with his left hand wrapped up.
The former Canadian Football League standout was able to go through a full practice on Thursday. His status for the Chiefs game won't be known until game-time.
"I'm going to do everything I can to be out on that field," Freeman said after Thursday's workout.
The rest of the Colts injury report included seven players who wee held out of practice: running back Delone Carter (ankle), inside linebacker Kavell Conner (hamstring), nose tackle Antonio Johnson (ankle), center Samson Satele (ankle), cornerback Teddy Williams (knee) and outside linebacker Robert Mathis (rest).
Offensive tackle Winston Justice (biceps) and safety Tom Zbikowski (knee) saw limited work. Outside linebacker Dwight Freeney (ankle), safety Joe Lefeged (knee), quarterback Andrew Luck (knee) and nose tackle Martin Tevasue (illness) joined Freeman in full practice.
Toughing it out -- Angerer has been playing all season with an injured foot, which he initially hurt in the Colts' opening preseason game.
After undergoing surgery, he missed a few weeks at the beginning of the season and then returned for a limited role. Due to injuries to Conner and Freeman, Angerer's playing time has steadily increased in recent weeks. The former Iowa linebacker may have to have additional work done on his foot at the end of the season.
Despite the pain and soreness in his foot. Angerer continues to play.
"Yeah, I'll be ready to go. On game days, you just play. Then you wake up the next morning and then you feel it. You don't feel it too bad on game days," he said Thursday. "With Kavell [Conner] going down, obviously I have to play more. But yeah, I think [playing time has] been increasing and I'm feeling fine."

The Redbox app is useful for renting movies and managing your account, but for streaming movies, Netflix has a bigger catalog.
Pricing not available
Mark Horak, the former president of the Americas at Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, will join the DVD-rental kiosk company in March.
The fledging joint venture from Redbox, the DVD-rental kiosk company, and Verizon adds another device to push its catalog of streaming movies straight to TVs.
The app lets you look at featured content, browse for movies, find a Redbox near you, or watch instantly.
Redbox Instant adds yet another streaming-video service to Roku, plus the ability to check out DVDs from Redbox kiosks.
Officially out of private beta, the new movie streaming service is available to all.
Beta users will get the first crack at streaming a selection of Redbox flicks in their living rooms.
The streaming and DVD rental business wants to carve out a niche for movie lovers, but it's saddled with a confusing service.
The streaming service that's aimed to compete with Netflix rolls out a private beta inviting users to test the service for free for one month.
Verizon-Redbox's streaming-only option is $2 lower than Netflix's comparable service. For now it's a limited trial, with an official launch expected next year.

it was heavier than others. It could use a strap for extra safety. The mouse tray needs to have a strap to hold it in place when transporting.

Comments about Quik-Lok LPH-003 Tripod Laptop Holder with Mouse Tray:
Very impressed with this stand. I have a good size/heavy expensive ASUS 17" laptop and this stand holds it securely and without movement. The clamps and the hardware are very well made and not flimsy or cheap in any way. I'm a keyboard player/singer and what's great is I can sneak the tripod legs under my keyboard stand and have the laptop hang over just perfectly where I want it almost over my keyboard so it's nice and close to me. Being able to easily position it at any height, angle, etc and all hold securly is all I can ask for.
I plan to use the trackpad on the laptop but the mouse tray is a nice extra. If I were to use the tray, I'd use a trackball instead and feel it would work well in the tray
Highly Recommended!

Comments about Quik-Lok LPH-003 Tripod Laptop Holder with Mouse Tray:
I bought this base on the reviews I have read. It arrived broken. One of the pot rivets that hold the mouse tray broke off as I was pulling the laptop platform from the box. However, this is not worthy of the hassle and wait of a RMA. A short 1/2 4-40 panhead screw fixed this problem swiftly. This stand worked as advertised after the fix was applied. I have another panhead screw on standby when the other rivet goes. The other modification I did was adding a piece of a cut mouse pad for the mouse tray. This brings the trackball I use up enough to which my hand does not rest on the metal ridge. This maybe a lot of gripe for a 4 star review, but the other reviews before this one say exactly what I would say for this stand. It works very well as a laptop stand, and I do recommend it for the next prospective customer!
Comments about Quik-Lok LPH-003 Tripod Laptop Holder with Mouse Tray:
Very practical and useful product. Very sturdy, too. Yes, the mouse tray is a bit small but works great for iPods, etc. Disassembly is not a snap making carryability a bit of a challenge, but its ruggedness makes up for that. Overall, a must have.
Comments about Quik-Lok LPH-003 Tripod Laptop Holder with Mouse Tray:
This thing is high quality. The one i received is different from the photo, but does the same thing. Your laptop will never fall of. It's a bit heavy, but remember this is holding your laptop, It should be that way. The mouse tray is very small, only works with a mini mouse (really "mini" one). If you are thinking on buying this thing (You already know that there is no many products like this on the market), you won't regret

Original recipe yields 1 bundt pan
- Remove baking pan from machine. Place yeast, flour, ground cinnamon, salt, white sugar, 2 tablespoons butter and water in the order that is recommended for the bread maker. Make sure that no liquid comes in contact with the yeast. Select dough cycle and press start.
- When dough is complete, place dough on floured surface and knead 10 to 12 times.
- In a medium saucepan on low heat, melt one cup of butter, stir in brown sugar and raisins ( 1/4 cup of chopped nuts is good too!). Stir until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Cut dough in one inch chunks. Drop one chunk at a time into the butter sugar mixture. Thoroughly coat dough pieces, then layer them loosely in a greased Bundt or tube pan, staggering layers so you're plopping each dough chunk over a space between two below. Let rise in a warm, draft-free spot until dough is just over the top of the pan, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated 375 degree F (190 degree C) oven for 20 to 25 minutes or till golden brown. Remove from oven, place a plate face down in top of the pan and, using oven mitts to hold plate on pan, turn over both until bread slides out onto plate. Serve warm...and enjoy.

I brought this to a friend's birthday, and everyone loved it! This is a wonderful recipe, but here are some suggestions for those of you who don't have a bread machine (like me) and would still like to make it. First let the yeast proof in the water (make sure the water is warm, not hot or room temperature) and two tablespoons of the white sugar for about five minutes. Meanwhile mix together all of the dry ingredients. Stir it all together and let it rise until about double in size (took me about 45 min) and punch it down. You can then follow the recipe as usual, beginning with step 2. Also, I had lots of the brown sugar sauce left over, so I would suggest cutting it down if you don't want to throw it all away. Will definitely make again!
This dish was outstanding. After forming the balls, (I made them about the size of very large grapes), I dipped them in 1/2 lb. melted butter, then rolled them in finely chopped walnuts and then in dark brown sugar, then stacked them in a bundt pan. I then sprinkled the remaining sugar and nuts on top, and poured the rest of the butter over all. This seemed to coat each one better and made each piece come off the whole cake as one individual morsel. My family of 4 polished it off in about 6 hours of nibbling. This would be great to take to a potluck. Auntie T from Cleveland
Mr. Marco Salmon
Honestly, I never knew what "Monkey Bread" was. But now that my curiosity was piqued, I decided to look at several recipes on this site but over all, they all use store bought refrigerator biscuits which doesn't appeal to me in the least. I almost gave up, then I found this made from scratch recipe and I'm glad I tried it. It's always a good thing to read the reviews and adapt the recipe to your liking;- however, I made very few changes. For the record, I added a dash of grated fresh nutmeg to the dough, 1 cup of walnuts, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter/sugar mixture AFTER removing it from the stove. One important tip when inverting the pan onto a plate is to be sure to place a cookie sheet under the pan to catch all the gooey sugar mixture or you'll have yourself quite a mess to clean up. Then because I avoided a kitchen disaster, I simply spooned the reserve sugar syrup that dripped onto the cookie sheet over the baked bread. Using my bread machine was a tremendous help and timesaver, too. Next time I might try using apple cider or juice instead of the water in the dough. This is divine with a cup of black tea or a cappucino. Wow!

Charter revision #8 reads, "Shall the Charter be amended to provide that if the number of electors present at the annual Town Meeting equals at least 4% of the registered town electors, then the annual Town Meeting may increase the Town Budget or Board of Education budget (C9-3B)?"
Those that have rejected some of the proposed charter revisions, specifically #1 and #2 (Town Manager and BOS to 5 members, respectively), have used a number of arguments repeatedly against these two proposals. Things like:
- that this is "bigger government"
- that this is a "sure and steady slide to a form of government that minimizes and limits the direct access, influence and power of Brookfield voters in determining the future direction of the Town."
- that this is an "attempt to force through change which is good for the minority seeking to control the majority."
- that this will "limit or restrict community input and grant more authority to those that are elected or appointed."
- that "The First Selectman should remain the person in charge, directly accountable to the voters for his/her actions."
- that "What we need is LESS government not MORE!!"
All of these are direct quotes from people here on The Patch. These folks, and many others, oppose these first two questions based on their stated rationale.
I don't agree, but OK, fine.
But why would many of them (and I believe all of them in some form have) reject(ed) proposal number 8???
This proposal gives MORE authority to the people of the Town.
As it stands now, if enough people in the Town come to the annual Town Meeting about the budget, they can move and vote to DECREASE the recommended budget proposal by line item that has been put forth by the Board of Finance (the proposed budget would still need to go to a Town referendum and be approved by the voters). The people have that power.
But what the people CAN'T do under the current charter is move and vote to INCREASE the budget line items in the proposal.
You – the voter, tax payer, and resident - can't do that.
Only the BOF (the "government" in this case) has that power and you can't do a thing about it once they decide.
Why then can't enough people (the same amount that can LOWER a budget) require that a budget proposal be raised to the level that was proposed by the other Boards?
It should also be noted that there would be a limit on increases under this revision; budgets would only be able to go to the level voted on and approved by the BOE or BOS, so it's not the "wild west." Increases would only go to the level approved by people elected to boards.
Also, these actions (increasing and decreasing) are for budget line items, not the general budget. The school budget is a single line item, so that's simple. But suppose the town side included funding for Cadigan Field and the BOF eliminated that. The motion to increase would need to be specific that funds would be restored for this purpose (restored to that line in the budget). Again, not the wild west.
Try this example:
Let's say, you hear the Board of Selectmen and Board of Education go through their respective budget proposals. Let's say, you think they are reasonable and you would vote to support them both.
But now those budgets go through the Board of Finance (as they should since the BOF is the Town's fiscal authority). And let's say that the BOF cut each budget or line items in, what appears to you to be, a reckless or short-sighted manner.
Guess what? You can't do a thing to restore those budgets to their original proposed levels. You can show up and make public comment and try to persuade your elected BOF to change their position, but you have no ability to actually restore those levels. You may never get to vote on the original proposals by the BOS and BOE.
But you can reduce those levels at the annual Town Meeting.
How is that democratic???
Where is the protest over "big government" and the "nanny state" for this???
Why aren't Brookfielders allowed and/or capable of increasing what they are allowed to decrease?
Proposition #8 gives the people that power and it should be confirmed at the polls on November 6.
Vote "YES" on charter revision #8.

Melody Dudgeon loves Christmas, and anyone driving by her home at 402 S. Cherokee will see the evidence of her passion.
Just after dusk each evening, the exterior of the home comes alive with lights, and features a gingerbread theme, along with a wooden silhouette of the nativity.
Dudgeon said while the decorations take a lot of effort, it's important to share her enthusiasm of the birth of Christ.
"The main reason behind all the decorations is a celebration of the birth Jesus Christ," said Dudgeon. "Nothing has impacted our world or our lives in such a way as this. Amid all the decorations and tradition that go along with the festivities of Christmas, we hope people will be reminded there is a reason for this season, and that reason is our salvation."
Dudgeon and her husband do all the work themselves, which can be time-consuming. For Melody, it's a labor of love.
"We love the lights, we love the work, we love the people stopping us to let us know how much they appreciate and enjoy coming by and bringing their children and grandchildren," said Dudgeon. "It's fun when people start asking us in October if we are going to put out the lights again this year."
Those who have lived in Tahlequah for a while may have noticed the absence of the Dudgeon's lights the past few of years.
"We have always decorated together, for 20 years, up until almost four years ago, when my husband's back was severely injured and surgeries followed," said Dudgeon. "This prevented us from being able to do what we used to."
But the couple were back at work this year, and those who love to view lights won't want to miss the display. Dudgeon said they used to complete the task in a weekend, but it takes a little longer these days.
"The house has always reminded us of a gingerbread house, so we try to go along with that theme when decorating outside," said Dudgeon. "I usually decide on the 'theme,' and my husband helps me with the things too tall for me to reach safely or do alone. He is the one in charge of making it all light up."
Dudgeon said they used to have help with the display.
"In the past, we had relatives and neighbors and good friends come over and help us with all of this, but people have grown up, have families of their own, and have moved to other places," she said. "[Now] it's just the two of us working together to do the best we can. Our three cats and two dogs supervise the best they can."
Dudgeon invites residents and visitors to pass by the home on the corner of Cherokee and Chickasaw.
"We love people driving by and looking," she said. "And we hope they are reminded to dwell upon the time when Christ was born, and to allow him to be a part of their lives in all seasons."
The tradition of lighting up the holidays dates back to 17th century Europe, when German citizens used small candles to light up their Christmas trees.
Kate Kelly, tourism director for the Tahlequah Area Chamber of Commerce, said there are several good spots in town for those looking to view outdoor light displays.
"Tahlequah Main Street Association has decorated Norris Park with lights, and it's simply gorgeous," said Kelly. "The city has also put out its lighting display throughout Sequoyah City Park. Other good locations for viewing lights would be the neighborhoods near Greenwood School, and I believe homeowners at Southridge also have some nice displays."
According to History.com, Edward Johnson was the first person to use electric lights to decorate a Christmas tree in 1882, in New York City. Johnson was one of Thomas Edison's protégés, and eventually became vice president of Edison's electric company.
Since Johnson's time, the tradition of lighting trees, and eventually homes inside and out, has grown exponentially. As the tradition has gained popularity, technology has advanced, producing brighter and more efficient bulbs.
According to Jeffrey Orloff, former About.com guide, compact fluorescent lights – CFLs – and light emitting diodes, or LEDs – can save on energy bills.
"The traditional bulb used for holiday lighting – an incandescent C7 – uses 6 watts," wrote Orloff. "This is per bulb, remember. When we compare this to the .08 watts used per LED bulb, we can see how much energy is saved."
Orloff said a typical strand of 50 lights uses 300 watts. At the national average of about 9.81 cents per kilowatt hour, that equals 3 cents per hour, per strand. Running lights five hours a day for the entire season of 30 days, the total cost for one stand of holiday lights is $4.50.

NBA Jam Review
Review Score
- PSU Review Score
- 7.0
- Avg. user review score:
- 6.3
You must be logged in to rate a game
NBA Jam arrives on PS3 with a swanky HD makeover and modern players, though the lack of any new compelling gameplay features makes it a little hard to justify the $50 price tag.
We like
- The fast-paced arcade action
- The outrageous dunks and sumptuous HD visuals
- Competing against the legends
We dislike
- The lack of new features
- The repetitive gameplay
- The lack of replay value
See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings
(Editor's Note: Due to shipping problems, this review has been posted later than we initially planned)
Reboots, re-imaginations, excessive sequels, and nostalgia for the sake of irony are common trends in movies and television, but these days it seems like the videogames industry is starting to latch on to these principles at an increasing rate. Still, while it's easy to cast a cynical eye over such trends, it isn't necessarily as bad of a move as you may think. Indeed, while there are some classics that are best left untouched, there are of course other games that genuinely do benefit from a fresh coat of HD polish and the addition of a handful of swanky new features thrown in for good measure.
NBA Jam is one classic we were glad to see make the transition to the HD-era. After all, if you are anything like us, you probably wasted a small fortune of quarters playing the game in arcades, or had after school bouts with friends on the Super Nintendo. Now that the game is out on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii, two things are clear: NBA Jam is still a ton of fun, but this latest effort should have been released digitally on the PlayStation Network and other online services.
To bring you all up to speed on the scuttlebutt surrounding NBA Jam's release on PS3 and Xbox 360, a limited version of the game was originally supposed to be included in copies of NBA Elite 11. EA Sports ultimately canned NBA Elite 11, released the full version of Jam on Wii, and later decided to bring the game to PS3 and Xbox 360. The problem we have, however, is that the title costs a meaty $50, and for an (almost) full price game, NBA Jam is fundamentally too much of a lackluster affair to fully justify parting with your hard-earned cash -- especially when you consider the fact a substantial offering like NBA Elite 11 would have cost just $10 more. As such, we think it wouldn't be a bad idea for developer EA Sports Canada to support the game via a slew of post-release DLC in the coming months to flesh out the game a little more.
This modern take is essentially an HD version of the original with some added game modes. If you've never played the original, the concept is quite simple. You play 2-on-2 basketball matches with real players from the NBA world. The game obliterates the use of realistic physics, as one of the main goals is to perform over-the-top, earth-shattering dunks. Hitting three unanswered points literally sets your ball on fire, maximizing your player's ability and giving you even more incredible dunks. This is an arcade-style basketball game that takes about 10 minutes to play per match, and in that short time the action never slows down.
There are a few controls—shoot, pass, block, and turbo—and the developers were kind enough to add some very basic controls for your AI counterpart when playing alone. Jam is simply begging to be played with others – in pairs at the very least - but up to four is optimal. You can even play online with buddies, so you shouldn't hesitate to show your game, or lack thereof.
If you plump for the single player experience however, you're likely to get a little flustered with your AI partner. Overall, we found the basic controls used for your partner a bit underwhelming. One of the biggest problems with the AI is that it rarely seems to stop a dunk on defense. The game is not all that responsive to running plays like alley-oops, and we found a lot of missed opportunities. To put it simply, your AI partner is rarely helpful and typically more of a nuisance than he's worth. You can, of course, unlock players (even political figures), but we'll leave those goodies for you to find and experience for yourself. Still, the overall partnership on court is a bit of a sad affair.
There isn't a great deal of diversity to be found in the gameplay. The good thing is that you can catch on really easily—typically after one game—but the downside is that you may find yourself ... (continued on next page)

HOUSTON -– Upper-level high pressure will keep things hot and dry in the Houston area for the next several days, said KHOU 11 News Meteorologist Brooks Garner.
"There will certainly be 100-degree heat in our future," said Garner. "This afternoon we'll reach about 97 degrees, but when you factor in the humidity it will feel like we're in the triple digits."
The skies will be partly cloudy for much of this week, but there's no chance for rain in the seven-day forecast.
This weekend the daytime temperatures jump by a couple of degrees.
Looking to the Atlantic, what's left of Dorian has a slight chance of reforming back into a tropical storm. If it does, it will retain the name Dorian. Its forecast path has it moving toward Cuba or Florida over the next several days. Some forecast models also have it coming into the Gulf.
