Parks & Rec panel says pay needed
The Carter County Parks and Recreation Board is turning to the state legislature in a bid to increase participation in meetings by paying its members.
Board members met Wednesday afternoon to decide the specifics of a private act – a resolution passed by the state which would only affect Carter County – which would be taken to the full commission before being sent to the state legislature for approval.
Last month, the board approved a motion to request a private act in order to increase board participation by paying its members. Board members had been paid until this past spring, when the county discovered Te

Rick's Camaros is your one-stop shop for 1979 Camaro parts. The 1979 Camaro was a Second Generation F-Body Camaro, spanning from years 1970-1981. 1979 included the Rally Sport Coupe, Z28 Coupe, Standard Coupe, and Berlinetta Coupe. While exterior styling remained mostly the same from the previous year, the instrument cluster on 1979 Camaros had a new flat-panel design. 1979 saw the dismissal of the Type LT and the introduction of the Berlinetta model as a replacement. Berlinetta models had bright upper and lower grilles, bright rear window and windshield moldings, dual pinstriping treatment, body-color sport mirrors, specific trim, and either standard color-keyed custom wheels or optional color-keyed aluminum wheels. Rear window defrosters changed this year to an in-the-glass heated element type. New options for 1979 Camaros included power antenna, and two radios with citizen's band. Rally Sport also became a single model in 1979 and no longer could be combined with Berlinetta or Z28 models. In addition to carrying 2nd Generation 1979 Camaro parts, Rick's Camaros has parts for all Camaro models available. We have all the parts and accessories you need to help restore your Generation Two 1979 Camaro, at the best prices! Trust Ricks for all of your restoration and replacement needs for your racer, show car, street rod, or daily driver.

Ha! Maria said she gets good vibes on court 2 in her interview so they arranged it for her! Hope she is right and will win easily.
Clarification: new Court 2 is not the "graveyard". Old court 2, the "graveyard of champions" is NOW new Court 3. New Court 2 is the other new stadium court farther on down.
Good luck to Maria tommorrow. I wish these matches weren't so early!!!!
Davaï Masha. We all believe in you (:It's great to see her in such good shape.. she's a real champion!
I was hoping her serve will be more effective this time. SHe lose her confidence when she's not serving in high percentages.
Not mentioning when she was double faulting in the 1st set, she just struck a 66 mph FIRST serve into the net. She lost a little bit of confidence. But at the second set, her serve was booming, and so as her game.
So the key in her next match is whether she'll serve good or not.
Da, most interesting. ESPN2 ref "hitting partner", "former player", "Volchov". Now, I'm not 100% sure, but he may be Alexander Volkov--friend & former coach of Marat, associated with Moscow Spartak, Shamil, etc. First time to note a distinct Moscow presence in the entourage.
Maria played better today in terms of DFs and UEs but she really needs to step up next week.
Well done, Maria on your win.
On a different note, they just showed Bartoli sending her dad off the stands. She started winning after that.
To Walter's credit, he packed up & left. Knows when he needs to get outta there. These two got a good thing going on. I believe Marion can break Serena on Monday.
Me too, Paul. Serena hasn't had any real challenge yet and I believe Bartoli will give her a heart attack. She always looks so unfit huffing and puffing. So many top seeds have gone out this year!! Serena and Venus don't count as their seeding is unreal. How come players like Schiavone, Vera, Na Li, are out and the Williams sisters who haven't played for nearly a year are still in? Is it the luck of the draw or what??? I hope Venus gets rid of that outfit next week. Jeez....no account for taste.
Maria has a day to practise those serves. Tomorrow is a good day for practise, plenty of sunshine.
Nope. It's no luck. It's many-year experience, it's what a real champion possesses. That makes the difference between the sisters and players like Na Li, Schiavone or Zvonareva, Stosur and the rest of the players. Not that I'm the sisters' fan but I have to give them credit on this. No matter how fit they are, they still find the way to defeat their opponents. I'm not saying the sisters will win Wimbledon - I think they won't- but I guess they will go far, like in the semi, at least one of them.
I know Bartoli is a rising star since Roland Garros and grass is her favorite surface, but I won't bet my 2 cents on her. She has a chance to stop Serena and Serena has a chance to get past Bartoli. Let's wait and see.

Okay, but bring it up to date. "What a champion possesses", if applied to the sisters today, also includes:
Suspension of all play rules for them alone; allow then to play only majors with NO consequence; give them only Centre Court--which USTA has apparently already agreed to re the USO!
Design cake-walk draws to allow them to "play their way in", ie, show up hung-over & outta form. In the process, design the draw to self-eliminate their most serious competition.
Seat a "pet" umpire in the chair as often as possible to provide favorable calls in tight situations. Allow for corrupt tournament officials to intervene directly in their matches if they get in real trouble, like with "creative" heat-rule applications.
Go figure, y'all: Your sport has already been turned into an ugly joke to accommodate these women--to maintain the illusion of Yankee prowess at a sport where the Americans generally are no longer worth a hot damn!
How long will we ignore all this & pretend we're seeing great achievement from these clowns?
It'd be terrible if the Williams win this year!! Terrible, really. The reality is they have won many GSs because they were very strong physically and mentally. But I'm not their fan at all, au contraire. I mean Serena is HUGE..!!
Not a whole lot of players can beat them consistently.
Back to Maria, She needs to play her best to beat Peng. Peng is a another smart chinese player who does not hit big but can trouble her opponent tactically.
But I still believe in Maria!!
haahahaha! i agree, Serena is huge. in fact she scares me a bit. If she wins this year i might lay in the road.
WERE the sisters great? Sure they were--and remember, they had NOTHING to do with what we laughingly call the American "player development system". lol But ARE they great? Why then does the tennis establishment have to constantly cheat & prop them up to help keep them "on top"?
Peng Shuai: Absolutely she's a threat. Most Chinese players are. They're a different mentality not easily read or victimized by psychobabble. Least of all by idiot commentators.
Round of 16:
C.WOZNIACKI [1] v D.CIBULKOVA [24]
PENG S. [20] v M.SHARAPOVA [5]
S.LISICKI v P.CETKOVSKA
M.BARTOLI [9] v S.WILLIAMS [7]
T.PASZEK v K.PERVAK
N.PETROVA v V.AZARENKA [4] (This quarter wraps up All England's "Final Solution of the Rus Problem".)
P.KVITOVA [8] v Y.WICKMAYER [19]
V.WILLIAMS [23] v T.PIRONKOVA [32]
Hey! It's rude to call someone huge! . Anyway, huge or not, she won't get pass the semis. Who beat her at Eastbourne? Is she still around??
To beat Peng, Maria must get her first serves in. The reason she lost to Na Li at RG was her sevice game let her down big time. She should have learnt from that and not repeat the same mistakes with her second serves.

Size of unit?
is the big question...
My water softner has a private label IONICS and 3210 Timer programming instructions inside the valve cover.
I dont' have the manual. I gather from internet searches and forums that this unit is same as Fleck 2510. I looked at some of the installation manuals and service manuals from different sites and shows that the 2510 programming dial has a middle dial for number of people and hardness scale.
My question is my unit does not have the number of people and hardness scale dial. Instead, the middle dial is clear plastic with 0 -100 markings and X100 after the 100 mark. How do I set this to 3 people with water hardness of 17 gpg. There's a white dot on the outer wheel and also a Gallons capacity mark on the timer case.

I there another way to find the size of the unit without any manuals?
Size of media tank or that tank that the control is on.
i have the same question except my info is as follows: 12 GPM 12x 60 Ionics IQ with 3210 timer, which is the same as described above meaning there the middle dial is clear plastic with 0 -100 markings and X100 after the 100 mark. My hardness is 35 and 3 people. When I regenerate the system, the white dot stops at the capacity arrow on the unit. I believe the unit regenerates everyday, which seems like a waste. How should this be set up? I can't find any info on the net and all the pictures show the white dot opposite of the capacity arrow, where on my unit it is very close to the capacity unit after regeneration.
I learned the setting of a system with out the use of the number of people.
Depending on the amount of resin in the tank and the amount of salt used per regen or cleaning cycle gave the system a capacity, then that capacity is divided by the comp hardness of the water that came up with the number of gallons for the meter's max, then the number of people x gallons per person per day... different people will use different numbers but they are between 60 and 75 gallons per person per day.
2 cubic foot unit with 12 lbs salt a capacity of 40,000/20 grains per gallon = 2000 gallons - 240 gallons(4 people at 60gallons per) =1750 gallons will be close enough.

That 240 would be 4 people at 60 gals/day/person.

Tuesday's news that Leicester Tigers had signed one of the game's brightest talents in Pablo Matera resonated everywhere.
Rarely are Mourad Boudjellal and Toulon beaten to a signature, making Matera's move to Leicester all the more attention-grabbing.
The openside flanker arrives at Welford Road on the back of an excellent first tournament in The Rugby Championship.
Make no mistake - Matera is a golden player who one day will be regarded as the best in the world in his position.
Still only 20, Matera packed down for the majority of the tournament in a back-row alongside Juan Mart�n Fern�ndez Lobbe and Juan Manuel Leguizam�n.
Both of those players have spent time in England with Sale and London Irish respectively, impressing during their brief stints to the point where Lobbe became a integral part of Sale's success when they lifted the Premiership title in 2005.
The duo have both gone on to successful stints in France, which if Richard Cockerill has his way is a path Matera will not follow.
Despite originally being signed on a one-year deal as an injury replacement for England flanker Tom Croft, the ambitions for the Puma are very much long-term.
"He's one of the best young players in the world. He's got all the raw ability and if you don't get him now and he goes to France first you'll never see him again.
"You have to take the punt on the guy that might be with you for the next 10 years," Cockerill told the Guardian after the news broke.
Some fine words from his countrymen Gonzalo Camacho and Marcos Ayerza, both current Tigers, about the club will have helped Leicester's cause in their recruitment of Matera, but he will already have been more than aware of Leicester's reputation.
The Tigers have a pedigree of success - eight successive Premiership Finals, three titles - that other clubs are desperate to emulate.
Toulon may have bought their way to Heineken Cup success last season, but it will take them years to match what Leicester have achieved domestically. There is arguably no better environment for Matera to develop in.
What makes Matera such a hot property can be found both in statistics and when examined more closely.
Matera made the most offloads in The Rugby Championship, tied on nine with Israel Folau and Quade Cooper. He also finished in the top ten for carries (4th) and tackles (8th) with 50 in each category. Not bad for a player participating in his first senior tournament.
Planet Rugby's own Ross Hastie watched Matera in action in June last year, when still playing for the Argentina U20 side aged 18.
Highlighting his physicality and skills on both sides of the ball, Matera has now heavily improved his work-rate as the statistics illustrate.
By taking a developing player with his talent and rearing him at Welford Road, both the player and Leicester will benefit considerably.
Just as Argentina are blessed with having Matera in their side for the next decade and beyond, Leicester may have just signed the next great player - after Kronfeld, Back, Moody and Salvi - to fill that legendary number seven jersey.

Welcome aboard!Take some time to get settled in to your stateroom, and explore the facilities of your cruiseliner. Tonight's welcome dinner will offer an opportunity to meet some of your fellow cruisemates.
Port charges are included in your itinerary cost.
Seven Seas Navigator has few equals, as all accommodations are suites with ocean views, the majority with private balconies. Her 490 guests enjoy an unusual level of luxury and some of the highest space and service ratios at sea. Additionally, her three restaurants, including the iconic Prime 7 steakhouse, allow you to dine wherever, whenever and with whomever you choose, at no additional charge.

Ketchikan is located on Revillagigedo Island, 90 miles (145 km) north of Prince Rupert, British Columbia and 235 miles (378 km) south of Juneau, Alaska. Ketchikan's economy is based upon tourism and fishing, and the city is known as the "Salmon Capital of the World." The Misty Fjords National Monument is one of the area's major attractions. Ketchikan is named after Ketchikan Creek, which flows through the town. Ketchikan comes from the Tlingit name for the creek, Kitschk-hin, the meaning of which is unclear. It may mean "the river belonging to Kitschk"; other accounts claim it means "Thundering Wings of an Eagle."
Today is another full day spent at sea as you transition Tracy Arm, and onward to Juneau. Aboard your vessel, several intimate bars and lounges offer a choice of nighttime amusements ranging from singing by the piano in Galileo's to dancing to the latest DJ selections in the Stars Lounge. Enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail in the friendly Navigator Lounge. Settle into a comfortable English club chair in the Connoisseur Club and light up a hand-rolled cigar.
Juneau is located on the Gastineau Channel in the panhandle of the U.S. state of Alaska. The economy is based on government, tourism, mining, and fishing. Juneau is named after gold prospector Joe Juneau, though the place was for a time called Rockwell and then Harrisburg after Juneau's co-prospector, Richard Harris. Downtown Juneau sits at sea level, with tides averaging 16 feet (4.9 m), below steep mountains about 3,500 to 4,000 feet (1,200 m) high. Atop these mountains is the Juneau Icefield, a large ice mass from which about 30 glaciers flow; two of these, the Mendenhall Glacier and the Lemon Creek Glacier, are visible from the local road system. Juneau is one of the most beautiful state capitals in the nation.
Skagway is a first-class borough in Alaska, on the Alaska Panhandle. The port of Skagway is a popular stop for cruise ships, and the tourist trade is a big part of the business of Skagway. The White Pass and Yukon Route narrow gauge railroad, part of the area's mining past, is now in operation purely for the tourist trade and runs throughout the summer months. Skagway (originally spelled Skaguay) is from the Tlingit name for the area, "Skagua" or "Shgagwèi" meaning "a windy place with "white caps on the water."
Originally called New Archangel while under Russian rule, the U.S. city of Sitka, Alaska, is located in the Alexander Archipelago of the Pacific Ocean. Sitka was the site of the ceremony in which the Russian flag was lowered and the United States flag raised after Alaska was purchased by the United States in 1867, subsequent to the sea otter pelt trade dying out.
Today, enjoy a full day spent at sea, as you cruise past the Hubbard Glacier, en route to your final port-of-call at Anchorage (Seward), Alaska. Relax at the onboard spa facilities, or just enjoy the marvellous views.
Early this morning you'll arrive at Seward, the port city serving Anchorage, Alaska. After breakfast, you'll bid farewell to your fellow cruisemates and disembark from your ship, as your cruise journey has concluded.

"Dear Danny,
I just want to thank you for a wonderfully organized vacation and barge experience in France. We were pleased with every aspect of our vacation and will definitely recommend your company. We will also certainly recommend our exceptionally capable, pleasant guide in Paris. Waffa Lenky navigated us with relative ease through the crowded tourist attractions. She was knowledgable and fun to be with. I gave this trip a 10.

"Dear David,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting together the magnificent Antarctica Tour that my daughter and I just finished. Every detail worked perfectly from the time we got on the plane at SeaTac airport in Seattle, until the time we returned to SeaTac.
Giselle Lopez, the excellent tour guide in Buenos Aires was waiting for us at the airport there with a car and driver. Her half day tour of the city was excellent--she is a fantastic guide and so knowledgeable. When we checked into our hotel room, it was just great--and then we turned on the TV to a local news channel and were greeted with the news that a new pope had just been chosen and he was from Argentina! (How did you arrange the timing on that?) The location of our Hotel Madero was perfect for a short walk in the vicinity. That evening, in spite of a horrific traffic jam, our driver arrived on time to take us to Rojo Tango. Next morning we were taken to the airport right on schedule.
We were met in Ushuaia by a guide and van who took us on a tour of the National Park. Again we were fortunate to have such a knowledgeable guide. Las Hayas Hotel is definitely a winner. Our room was deluxe and dinner couldn't have been finer. Next morning we took a cab into Ushuaia for some shopping and lunch. Our driver met us a promised at the Hotel Albatross and delivered us to our cruise ship (our bags had been picked up that morning by the cruise company at Las Hayas).
The Russian cruise ship, Akademik Sergey Vavilov, was another winner. We had a lovely cabin (my daughter insists it was the best one on the ship because of size and location). Surprisingly, many of the Staff were from Seattle, the Pacific Northwest and Canada, which made for a lot of conversation for us. Again the Staff were so knowledgeable and helpful and took special care of this 80-year-old little lady. The lectures on board were great, the food delicious, the guests delightful. The Russian crew were a delight taking care of our needs efficiently and quietly.
Antarctica is so very special and spectacular. We came home with so many amazing photos and videos. We have been regaling our friends with our adventures.
From the time we left the cruise ship in Ushuaia til I walked in my front door, it was 33-1/2 hours! Next time could you arrange for Scottie to "beam us up?"
Again, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for a truly amazing once in a lifetime adventure. I hope to call on you again in the future.

"Hi, David,
We have now returned from our splendid tour: Munich to Budapest. Thank you very much indeed. It exceeded all our expectations, even the weather cooperated. Every driver and guide was on time – even early – and was efficient and friendly. We were surprised that the tour was so "private" and personal. We did not encounter anyone else at all from Kensington Tours although there were a few "groups" on the ship. The networking between your office and local enterprises works very well. The ship's crew and services were impressive. So thank you again. We will certainly recommend you to our friends, although at our age few travel far afield. Very best wishes, Pauline

Just Do It1 of 11
By Petra Guglielmetti for WomansDay.com
There are certain mantras that turned out to be valuable truths to live by — you know, things like "Never go to bed angry" and "You look so much nicer when you stand up straight." But when it comes to beauty, some of the wisdom passed down to us by our elders turns out to be — well, not so wise. Here are 10 beauty "rules" that you can definitely rebel against.
Brushing Hair 100 Times2 of 11
Perching on the edge of your bed and patiently counting brush strokes may be a relaxing ritual, but it's not going to make your hair healthier. "Too much brushing will only lead to breakage," says Miami-based celebrity hairstylist Raphael Reboh, who advises his clients to brush only as often as needed for styling and detangling.
Matching Lip Liner For Longer Color3 of 11
This may have been the purpose for which lipliner was intended/invented (and the reason it's called "liner," after all), but nobody really uses it this way anymore. The reason? You risk ending up with an unattractive darker outline around your lips once your lipstick wears off. The new rule: Color your lips entirely with the liner first, then layer lipstick on top for super-staying power.
Drink Lots of Water for Glowing Skin4 of 11
It's true that being dehydrated does nothing pretty for your complexion, but drinking excessive quantities of water (beyond the eight or so glasses generally recommended) will only lead to superfluous bathroom visits, not plump, perky skin.
ON WOMAN'S DAY: Kitchen Pantry Beauty
Keep Lathering for Clean Hair5 of 11
That squeaky feeling just means you've washed away all the natural oils that give hair its shine and bounce. "I wouldn't go with the squeaky-clean theory unless you're washing dishes or the floor," Reboh says. "The hair shaft is extremely delicate, and this can strip essential oils, which is damaging."
Only File Nails in One Direction6 of 11
Your nails grow and get their health from the base, not from the edge that extends beyond your fingertip and gets filed. If you sit there and really saw away at your tips with a rough file, you could create enough friction to impact your nails' health—but generally speaking, as long as you don't saw away too crazily, filing back and forth won't weaken your nails.
Don't Let Your Roots Show7 of 11
It figures that now that there are jillions of excellent products designed to help you cover up those telltale roots, having visible roots is actually one of the biggest hair trends. The concept is called "ombre" hair, the roots are dark but the hair gets lighter and lighter toward the ends.
Red Hair = No Red Lips8 of 11
This is another long-running beauty rule that all of Hollywood seems to be breaking lately — and the results can be gorgeous. Flame-haired actresses like Amy Adams and Emma Stone love to work the red carpet in fiery red lipstick. Red hair itself is also a huge beauty trend this season — perhaps because it no longer has those old makeup rules associated with it?
Only Pluck From Below Your Eyebrows9 of 11
Go to any tweezing, waxing or threading place, and it's pretty much a guarantee that your aesthetician will remove hairs from above your brows. "Removing hair above the brow line helps to create a more defined shape," says Shobha Tummala, a New York City–based hair-removal expert.
ON WOMAN'S DAY: Beauty Secrets From Around the World
Eating Chocolate Gives You Pimples10 of 11
Your waistline is much more likely to benefit from a no-chocolate rule than your skin — the idea that the sweet stuff is an acne culprit is a common myth. Clinical studies have failed to show that any food can actually cause acne (though in some rare instances, foods might exacerbate existing acne).
You Must Be Either Warm or Cool11 of 11
Can you honestly say you've figured out which tone you are—and what that means in terms of which eyeshadow, blush and lipstick hues you should choose? "Warm and cool is really most important when you're picking foundation and concealer," explains New York–based makeup artist Fiona Stiles. "But you can break the rules with colorful makeup."

Best taco salad dressing ever!
Reviewed Feb. 5, 2014
I would drop the 1000 Island dressing. Take mayonaise and break it down with water to a thinned state. Not to much water, you still need the taste of the mayo. After making your salad, then drizzle the mayo/water liquad over the top of the salad. Oh my! Yum.

Super easy and very good! We all loved it and will make many times to come!

It hung on the wall of the small Methodist Sunday school room where his father preached for most of his childhood. A similar portrait hung over the family dining room. Billings used to peek at it through his fingers when the family prayed before dinner. His teacher pointed to it when she read Bible stories to the class.
"It always made me feel loved," Billings said, "like Jesus was watching over me. It's also why I always thought of Jesus as being white."
Though he doesn't know the name of the portrait, it was a familiar theme and image — a bearded, long-haired, fair-skinned Jesus walking among a flock of sheep carrying a lamb in one hand and a long walking staff in the other. Billing's father, Cornelius, was a bivocational pastor who worked numerous small towns across Alabama, including stops in Andalusia, Enterprise and Ohatchee, and at almost every stop — as far as Billing's can remember — that portrait of Jesus followed, usually ending up in the children's Sunday school room.
"I never thought much about it until years later," said the now 45-year-old Billings, who recently moved to Mobile from Oxford. "The color of Jesus' skin wasn't the point. But the older I got, the more it bothered me, both as a Christian and as an African-American, that the image of Jesus we grew up with — and not just in that one picture — wasn't true. Jesus wasn't white, not even close."
With his long, flowing light brown hair, well-trimmed beard, fair skin, toned, thin frame and light-colored eyes, the familiar image of Jesus Christ stares out from everything from paintings and T-shirts to coffee mugs and the dust jacket of bestselling books. This is largely a Western-born phenomenon. In other parts of the world, Jesus is generally depicted as being black, Arab or Hispanic.
But to us, Jesus has movie-star good looks and appears rather Caucasian — the Americanized version of Christ, the American Jesus, a cultural icon.
"Americans love Jesus, but of course one that has been modified to fit their perceived needs," said Vic Minish, who teaches Old and New Testament as well as courses on theology and philosophy at Faith Christian School and is also a professor of apologetics at Birmingham Theological Seminary. "It is a sad struggle for all of us really, inside and outside of the church that the Jesus we see seems to be so much like the person we already are."
The Bible provides little insight because Jesus isn't described in the New Testament. All that can be surmised is that he looked much like other Jewish men of the time. According to the Gospel of Matthew, when Jesus was arrested in the garden of Gethsemane before being crucified, Judas had to point him out to the soldiers who couldn't tell him apart from his disciples.
Despite the lack of direct biblical or historical references, various theories about the race of Jesus have been advanced and debated throughout the centuries. While many people have a fixed mental image of Jesus, drawn from artistic depictions, these images often conform to stereotypes that aren't grounded in any serious research on the historical Jesus, but are based on cultural stereotypes and societal trends, says Eugene Leonard, an African-American pastor with The Life Center Church in Hobson City.
"For two millennia a wide range of artistic depictions of Jesus have appeared, often influenced by cultural settings, political circumstances and theological contexts," he said. "Beyond being Jewish, there is no general scholarly agreement on the ethnicity of Jesus."
For Leonard, what Jesus looked like doesn't really matter.
"As the son of a pastor, I was always taught that when it came to the depiction of Christ that he was neither black nor white," he said. "As I would see images that portrayed Jesus as a Caucasian man, it didn't make me feel any kind of way because of the way I was reared in the Word of God."
Continuing to accept and put faith in these false depictions of Christ is to be led astray, says Carlton Weathers, pastor of Grace Fellowship Church in Anniston.
"It is never safe to create an image that is fictional because Jesus was and is a historical figure," he said. "He will also be in his resurrected physical body for all of eternity. He will not look like me or you. We must teach people to think in reality, not fiction."
The 'real' Jesus
If Jesus was of Semitic birth, it would stand to reason that his skin, according to most scholars, would have been more of an olive tone with dark colored hair that was thick — often curly or wiry — and being a Jew, he would likely have had a beard as was the custom among Jews of the time. From the analysis of skeletal remains excavated during the time of Jesus, archeologists firmly believe he would have been of average build — roughly 5 feet 1 inch tall and averaging roughly 110 pounds. Because he worked outside as a carpenter into his 30s, Jesus would likely have been more muscular and physically fit than in most Western portraits, and his face was likely weather-beaten, making him appear even older. And he probably didn't have long hair but instead short with tight curls, keeping in mind that it was the Apostle Paul who said, "if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him."
Will Willimon, a professor of the Practice of Christian Ministry at The Divinity School of Duke University who recently retired after serving eight years as Bishop of the North Alabama Conference of The United Methodist Church, is familiar with the image of the American Jesus, but warns that to debate what Jesus looked like can cloud the conversation of his ministry.
"Jesus was a Jew, a Near Eastern male, someone who spoke a language quite different from our own," Willimon said. "It's important to maintain that difference. He was, we believe, God incarnate — the full revelation of God in a full human being. But Jesus' humanity, including the faith he was born into, as well as the culture, is not incidental to his significance."
As an African-American pastor leading an ethnically diverse congregation at Living by Faith Ministry in Oxford, Bob McClain can't help but laugh when asked about the white Jesus versus what Christ really looked like.
"Ancient Hebrews were forbidden to have images and the more I study and learn about the way they did it … I want to get away from images of Christ all together," he said. "I know he was a real man but for me, when I think of Jesus, I think of him in a spiritual sense. It doesn't matter what he looked like. Jesus died for all our sins, no matter our skin color. In the spirit there is no black or white."
But how did these images and ideas of Jesus being white — or at least fair-skinned — become so entrenched in our cultural psyche? The answer lies in the painting, and the myriad like it, that hung in Marcus Billings' Sunday school class.
It's a misconception presented in youth that's perpetuated into adulthood, explains Edward Blum and Paul Harvey, authors of "The Color of Christ: The Son of God and the Saga of Race in America."
"In part, assumption about Jesus were unavoidable because the images were presented to children at very young ages," Blum and Harvey write. "Whether through tracts, Sunday school cards or church art or on television and in movies, visual depictions of Christ lodged the idea of his whiteness deep within our cultural conventions."
And it wasn't necessarily a malicious attempt to disguise Christ's true ethnicity, but its effect was negative and long lasting.
"The goal of the pictures was to teach Christianity, but an unintended consequence was to create an often unspoken belief that Jesus was white," Blum and Harvey write. "This made Christ's whiteness a psychological certainty."
For Billing's, who was essentially raised beneath the watchful gaze of this American Jesus that was almost as white at the lamb he cradled, if anything it strengthened his faith.
"I had to learn for myself, what the real Jesus would have been like," he said. "He was a man of love and compassion … things that have nothing to do with skin color."

American Jesus: An evolution from Catholic Europeans to Kanye West
While Catholic Europeans brought Jesus across the ocean, English Puritans destroyed visual depictions of him. In the Colonial America that became the United States, Jesus had no true physical presence.
It wasn't until the early 19th century that Jesus first rose to prominence.
During an era that saw the expansion of slavery and encroachment across Native American lands, a band of Protestants tried to influence the young nation by mass producing and mass distributing images of Jesus.
Before the Civil War, Southern whites tried to sanctify slavery and turn slaves to Christianity by presenting Jesus as a servant. The plan backfired, as African-Americans found in this savior someone who had suffered as they did and heard him whispering freedom in their ears.
Southern whites rose from the ashes of the Civil War with a new savior, one who shared their sufferings during Reconstruction. Now they, not enslaved blacks, felt persecuted under an imperial regime, just as Jesus had been.
It was also a bewildering and contradictory time for many Native Americans. At boarding schools, white school teachers taught them to become "civilized" by cutting their hair short, but also by putting their faith in a long-haired Jesus seen in paintings on school walls.
In the Harlem of the 1920s and '30s, an ensemble of poets, novelists, artists and playwrights rejected the white Jesus images around them.
They blackened him for the first time with paintings that portrayed him as a lynch victim.
It was an advertising executive who helped transform Jesus into the most famous face in history. A born-again Christian, Warner Sallman had a religious experience and dedicated his life to creating sacred art. He was first inspired to attempt a portrait of Jesus in 1914 by a teacher at Chicago's Moody Bible Institute, who reportedly told him to paint a "virile, manly Christ." In 1924, Sallman had a dream of such a man while he was struggling to paint a portrait of Christ commissioned for a monthly church newsletter.
"All I did," Sallman later said, "was to reproduce as faithfully as I could what I saw in my dream."
That vision later became the basis for Sallman's celebrated oil painting, "Head of Christ." Sallman's 1941 painting has since been reproduced more than 500 million times, making it the most common religious image in the world.
In 1957 Martin Luther King Jr. tackled the American Jesus in his short-lived advice column for Ebony magazine when he received a letter asking, "Why did God make Jesus white?"
"The color of Jesus' skin is of little or no consequence," King responded. "He was the son of God, not because of His external biological makeup, but because of His internal spiritual commitment."
Such debates over the American Jesus illustrated the Civil Rights era and captured the spirit of the '60s.
Whether it was civil rights activists, Native Americans, new liberation theologians or college students who saw Jesus as a rebellious hippie, Americans tinkered relentlessly with the body of Jesus. By the 21st century, all one had to do was Google "black Jesus," "Chinese Jesus" or "Asian Jesus" to be bombarded with thousands of ethnic depictions of Christ. Today, the idea that Jesus may have been black or any other non-white ethnicity will draw media attention but not enough to stir lasting controversy.
In 2004, hip-hop icon Kanye West had a hit single with "Jesus Walks" and was photographed on the cover of Rolling Stone wearing a crown of thorns, but it did little more than grab headlines for a brief news cycle.

HHS Secretary Announces Senate Confirmation of Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced today that the United States Senate unanimously confirmed Dr. Nicole Lurie as the next Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at HHS. Dr. Lurie, an internationally recognized leader in public health, most recently served as co-director of the RAND Corporation Center for Domestic and International Health Security, senior natural scientist and professor of policy analysis at the RAND Corporation.
Dr. Lurie has spent the last several years working with HHS, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and state and local health departments on pandemic influenza preparedness and other public health issues. Previously, she served as Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Health at HHS. She has a long history in the health services research field, primarily in the areas of access to and quality of care, managed care, mental health, prevention, public health infrastructure and preparedness and health disparities.
"Dr. Lurie brings a wealth of experience to HHS at a critical time for our nation," said Secretary Sebelius. "Her knowledge and expertise will be essential to ASPR and to the entire Department as we continue to develop and implement an action plan for a coordinated national response to the H1N1 virus."
The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) was established under the Pandemic and All Hazards Preparedness Act of 2006 to improve the nation's preparedness and response to natural and man-made disasters. The ASPR serves as the Secretary's principal advisory staff on matters related to bioterrorism and other public health emergencies such as pandemic influenza. ASPR also coordinates interagency activities between HHS, other federal agencies, state, tribal, territorial, and local officials responsible for emergency preparedness and response.
A brief biography is included below:
In addition to serving as Senior Natural Scientist and the Paul O' Neill Alcoa Professor of Health Policy at the RAND Corporation, she directed RAND's public health and preparedness work as well as RAND's Center for Population Health and Health Disparities. She has previously served in federal government, as Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Health in the U.S Department of Health and Human Services; in state government, as Medical Advisor to the Commissioner at the Minnesota Department of Health; and in academia, as Professor in the University of Minnesota Schools of Medicine and Public Health.
Dr. Lurie attended college and medical school at the University of Pennsylvania, and completed her residency and MSPH at UCLA, where she was also a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholar. She served as Senior Editor for Health Services Research, on editorial boards and as a reviewer for numerous journals. She has also served on the council and was President of the Society of General Internal Medicine, on the board of directors for the Academy of Health Services Research, and on multiple other national committees.
She is the recipient of numerous awards, including the AHSR Young Investigator Award, the Nellie Westerman Prize for Research in Ethics, the Heroine in Health Care Award, the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine's Distinguished Alumni Award, and is a member of the Institute of Medicine.
Dr. Lurie continues to practice clinical medicine in the health care safety net in Washington, DC.

Abs Diet: Muscle-Building Foods
The reasons why these Power 12 foods help build more muscle
If muscles were made from chips and beer, we'd look huge. But they aren't, and we don't -- unless you count that sack o' fat up front and dead center.
If not Doritos and double bock, then what? We decided to delve deep into the human anatomy to find the secret spot on every muscle where the word "ingredients" is stamped. With the help of Jeff Volek, Ph.D., R.D., an exercise and nutrition researcher at the University of Connecticut, and a really big magnifying glass, we found it. Seven foods are on the list: eggs, almonds, olive oil, salmon, steak, yogurt and water. Add these ingredients to your stomach and faithfully follow the directions on the package -- "Lift heavy weights" -- and you can whip up a batch of biceps in no time.
