. Since day one I felt at home, all thanks to Oliver, Vanessa, Sean and gang who were always just a phone call away. If you have a plumbing problem or simply need to hang out with familiar faces, VACorps will always be round the corner and will leave no stones unturned to make you feel at home in the fairest cape.
Living in CT with VACorps was by far one of the best part about the internship. The accommodation is planned in such a way that you get to meet similar souls from across the globe, and I met some of my best friends though this internship. One of the core features of the internship is the Friday activity, which helped me explore the city with fellow interns as a group, and I am happy and proud to be a part of VACorps, and I don't think twice to state that I have a second home in CT with VACorps."

Brushing Up on Heart Health
By: Nora Hartfeil
Updated: February 20, 2013
"It only makes sense because this is an opening into our body, and it will be affected. Not only by the food we eat and the nutritional value, but also the bacteria build up", says Dr. Christie Leedy, of Abilene Dental.
The connection between the health of your mouth and your heart is nothing new, but the serious affects are recently surfacing.
"There have been several times when the cardiologist will send a patient here to have their oral health checked, because in checking their heart they noticed some broken teeth or their gums were swollen. So it's obviously on the radar with physicians as well", Dr. Leedy tells us.
Dr. Leedy explains that the bacteria and plaque build-up between the teeth can literally break away into your blood stream.
Something to sink your teeth into--nearly 50% of the population has periodontal disease, which can lead to other concerns.
"That's a lot of the population at risk for this bacteria, with links to diabetes, and low birth weight of all things", explains Dr. Leedy.
However, as with most health conditions, there are preventative measures available.
"Brush! And floss, and get regular cleanings", says Dr. Leedy.
By brushing up on your oral health, you'll not only keep your chompers in tip-top shape, you can also avoid a lot of literal heartache.

One of the Photo Albums I've created with a slide show features a covered sugar bowl in the Beaded 808 pattern. This sugar bowl was made in the 1800s by Model Flint Glass Co. Looking into the top of the sugar bowl you can see the 808 figures in the pattern. The pattern is on the outside of the sugar bowl in the form of a raised beaded design.
This glass is thick and it is heavy. The glass is very clear and leads me to believe it has a high lead content. The lead content adds both clarity and weight to glassware.
The slide show allows a better view of this beautiful sugar bowl. And you can see the beading a lot better in the other photos. The sugar bowl lid has amulti-sided finial with beading on it as well. The 808 pattern is repeated on the lid. An etched or possibly wheel cut engraving design featuring leaves and flowers adds to the decorations.
The sugar bowl is about 6.25 inches tall with the lid on it. It has a 3 inch opening. This is certainly a LARGE sugar bowl when compared to today's standard sugar bowls. There was a good reason for large sugar bowls when this one was made -- there was no such thing as granulated sugar. Sugar was in loaves or blocks and had to be broken up for use. Small amounts of sugar were shaved off as needed. A large containr was needed to store the rest. I found this information about the sugar loaves or blocks on http://www.patternglass.com. The site is loaded with all kinds of interesting tidbits about the forms of glassware our ancestors used.

We can never become true Couch Potates if we have to manually cleanup the download folders every once in a while! Don't you agree?
Thanks for the quick response!
[edit]It sometimes leaves sample .mkv files and .sfv files. Those are the ones I noticed so far[edit]
You can also set sabnzbd+ to delete files like lpg & stuff like that after downloading
That way CP can not leave the files in the folders ;-)

Lafayette, IN
via sears.com
What can I say about drawer liners? All in all they have served the purpose of protecting my tool drawers very well...
Warren, MI
via sears.com
I compared these liners to ?discount? types and the Craftsman brand is worth the money. These are more durable so when ?throwing? your tools in the drawer they will stand up, no rip or tear like the cheaper ones.
Sioux Falls, SD
via sears.com
They fit and work ok
Redford, MI
Fort Mill, SC
via sears.com
Very nice. Perfect fit.
Elko, NV
via sears.com
Good material and they fit my tool box drawers with no trimming.
Fremont, NE
via sears.com
These drawer liners really save time and are very affordable! I tried similar materials and didn't come anywhere close to the ease of using these. I simply opened the package and had a great base product for my style of Chest. The only downside in my situation was, I had to trim approximately 1/8 inch off the depth of each liner in order for them to fit properly. Once trimmed and installed, they had a very professional look and feel. Much better than using a cheaper material and easier to install! I highly recommend these Cabinet Drawer Liners anybody whether a Professional or Do-It-Yourselfer.
Columbia, MO
via sears.com
Easy to use, sticky when put down, and already fit. Great and quick!

"NOT the Rachel Maddow Show"
If you watch her show, you're expecting this to be about how the Republicans are whizzing all over the Constitution. And it is. But it's also about how Clinton-- and yes, Obama-- are doing the same thing. And about how, in her opinion, it's damaging the country. I don't necessarily agree with every conclusion she draws, but her research is impeccable.
It was a little bit of a surprise to realise that, since Ms. Maddow was not on camera, she was free to use a wider variety of language, but I was very pleased to see that she didn't over do it. The only two times I remember offhand that she used obscenities were situations where a lesser word either wouldn't have gotten the job done, or would have been nowhere near as clever (specificially the crack about the s**t processing plant).
Rachel Maddow is one of my heroes, and I'm sooooo glad she read this herself.
"Still Brilliant"
It's impossible to explain what makes this book awesome without spoiling it for you, but I can be general.
1) Felix Castor is an entertaining fellow.
2) The universe he lives is interesting and well-developed.
3) There is something very, very, wrong with Mike Carey that causes him to think up stuff like this. I'm just saying. This is a knife-twister.
"A nice descent into fantasy..."
(Disclaimer: If you saw the movie, then you still know practically nothing about this book. They do not share the same plot, or really even the characters. "Griffin's Story" is actually set in the MOVIE universe, not this one.)
What would you do if you could teleport?
This wasn't high-sci-fi or high-fantasy. The world is more or less our world, except for this one kid who can teleport. He's got real problems with his abusive dad, his girlfriend, the cop downstairs who beats his wife.... oh, yeah, and the NSA.
Definitely worth reading. Will inspire a lot of fantasies and daydreams.
"Mary Roach does it again...."
If Mary Roach releases a book, I buy it. I hadn't realised that until I had purchased this one before finishing reading the TITLE.
She did not disappoint. The book is fascinating, honest, entertaining, and FUN. And the reader does a fantastic job as well. If you liked her other stuff, get this. If you haven't read her other stuff, get this, then that. :D
"Nutty, Witty. A little disturbing. But great"
Seriously, the author's obsession is a little disturbing, but the history is fascinating and the humour with which it's presented is great.
"Excellent bit of diversion..."
I listened to this independently of the series-- I actually thought it was the first of them-- and as soon as it was done I started the series.
This was a nice well-written piece of fantasy, with an intelligent plot and good characters. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
"Not bad."
I can definitely see why everyone keeps comparing this to the DaVinci's Code. There are some similarities... several of them. I'm glad I didn't know that, because I hated DaVinci code.
This was not exactly great literature... a lot of stuff was kind of weak. But it was very entertaining, and unlike DaVinci Code, I didn't have the urge to hunt down the author and explain to him his literary sins using a golf club, a chain saw, and a bottle of lemon juice.
"A worthy sequel"
I had been waiting for this book when I learned that there was a sequel to _The Devil You Know_, and I was not disappointed.
It loses a single star because there are a couple of points where the plot is just a little too contrived, but the depth of the characters and the skill of the storytelling more than make up for it.
Eagerly awaiting book three.
"A decent second book...."
I've been impressed with this series so far. The concept isn't very original, but it's handled extremely well. The world of the Pretties is well thought-out.
That being said, this book was not as good as Uglies. The character of Shay, in particular, is annoying, and not quite consistent with how she was in the first book. Also, while the first book was a self-contained story that ended with a cliffhanger to set this book up, this one seems to be only half the story.
I do, however, really like the mythology within the world that is being established... I will be reading the third book next.
"Unexpectedly enjoyable"
I know, I know, you read the description and you can already cut the metaphors with a chainsaw. And, yeah, the symbolism is obvious, but surprisingly not as heavy handed as you'd think.
More to the point, it's extremely well done. The universe is well developed without having to have characters stop and explain the history to each other every five minutes. You actually care about the people in the story, and the author succeeds in writing for young adults and about young adults without forgetting that young adults aren't eight years old. Furthermore, the science fiction aspects aren't rammed down your throat, and aren't spread thickly. Lastly, the characters are utterly believable in the culture they inhabit, and the culture is really thought out.
I accidentally had one detail of the book spoiled for me-- a big aspect of the ending-- but I found that I had forgotten about it by the time that it happened.
The reader is talented, although some of the voices can be a little annoying until you get used to them, then you like them. You can HEAR the characters' facial expressions at times.
I was very upset that I finished the first book while 30 minutes from home, then I had to wait while the second downloaded, and now I have to go to bed. I am considering buying the third already so that doesn't happen again.

Cricketweb poster with the best understanding of the game
Thought this might be fun, even if it has the capacity to be a disaster.
I would do a poll but that would inevitably lead to names not being included that should be there. First and foremost for me is SJS, who seems to have a great familiarity with the game's history, as well as a very logical mind. Please make your own suggestions though - feel free to interpret the thread title as you see fit. .

Well, tough one really.
I agree with Richard on a lot of things that no-one else does, but there are some things which I think are complete rubbish.... But Ide still have to say Richard.

At the risk of sounding like a sheep I've gotta say SJS too. Clearly knows his stuff & is never condescending to oiks like me who obviously don't!
Honourable mentions to Lucky Eddie & Swervy, who both seem to have dropped off the radar at the mo. I do agree with Mr C that more cricket related posts from Slow Love would be interesting. He's always good value on Off Topic.

Put a deposit down on a "semi custom designed" / "semi crowd-sourced" metalic white Snekka model (700c rough-stuff randonneur style). The frames are from Rawland Cycles based out of Northfield, Minnesota and are being TIG welded in Taiwan. Having visited both Taiwan and the State of Minnesota, I'm excited to support each in their own respective rights. I was looking for a new "rough stuff" type frame and was seriously considering the Surly Cross Check, however, I really wanted a taller stem height and I think the Snekka will be a good compromise between off-road ability and touring, plus it'll have a nice back story.

Strong enough for the sweatiest man-pits
The Guv'ner has come to us fresh from the LUSH kitchens- and it's our strongest, most effective deodorant yet. An odor-busting blend of sage, lavender and patchouli in a super absorbent charcoal and lycopodium base, The Guv'ner was created by the boys (or more specifically, by LUSH co-founder Mark) for the boys. Odor simply doesn't get past this powerful blend. Mark even personally tested it every day for months. His conclusion? The Guv'ner is top dog!
- Morn', Guv'ner!: Powder your pits right after your morning shower and stay fresh all day long.
- Heels and toes: You can use The Guv'ner on your stinky soles, too.
- Patchouli for your pits: Patchouli is naturally antibacterial, making it perfect for blasting away scary odors.

NewsLuncheon Officially Launches Storm Alumni Association
Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - 4:08 PM Two prominent Grande Prairie Storm alumni have helped kick off the formation of the club's alumni association. Inaugural Storm coach and former Ottawa Senators bench boss Cory Clouston thinks the alumni association is just another area of growth for the hockey club. "Each year, I thought we grew as an organization, and got better and built on what we had done the previous seasons. And to me, this is just another step in that direction, and and I think it's very positive."
Clouston was joined at the association's kickoff luncheon by former Storm captain and current Senators prospect Darren Kramer. Photo (L-R) Darren Kramer, Storm board member Devon Wardley, Cory Clouston. Photo courtesy Don Moon/Grande Prairie Storm Most Viewed Stories More Local

TOMPKINS COUNTY, N.Y. -- State Police in Ithaca say speed on slippery roads caused a three car crash near Cortland. It happened Monday on Mclean Road. Police said 21-year-old Allyssa Patak of Deer Park lost control of her vehicle and crossed over into the other lane hitting 29-year-old Robert Smith of Groton. A third vehicle was hit by debris from a broken windshield.
Patak was seriously injured and taken to Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse. Smith was taken to Cortland Regional Medical Center with minor injuries. It's not clear at this point if any charges will be filed.

- My Post-Vacation Take On The World
My vacation technically ends tomorrow, but we're going slow today. So this is just a few short comments on the things I've been ignoring all week while my daughter and I bobbed around in the 90 degree gulf of Mexico.
There is no deal that will save them. There is no meeting and no magic. There is no rabbit left in the hat. Europe's political leaders will dither and delay in the hope that some opportunity will be revealed but it won't be. They've run out of rope. All they have left is lies and deceit. They have to make a choice. The Germans have to choose between inflation (a Germany funded bailout to save the Euro) or the collapse of their export sector (Euro abandonment and the return of the D-mark.)
That's it. Choose something and spare the rest of us the grief.
The US Stock market:
Currently being driven by Europe. As they stall deceive and delay, we suffer.
At 1050 for the S&P, QE3 is all but guaranteed. We aren't there yet. And because that's so, I'm betting that Bernanke does not provide any stronger indication of QE3 at Jackson Hole. The market will respond to that by running south. When it gets to 1050, he'll be in a better position to change his mind.
HF Tax:
A buddy of mine who is a fairly big commodity trader, is telling me that there is some substantive talk about the financial transactions tax. He likes it because it will kill HF trading, but I personally think it's economic suicide - especially for the Europeans. Like a short sale ban, it's a desperate act of 'know nothing' politicians who are trying to trick their markets into rising without any meaningful policy change. Honestly, I'm not sure this 'substantive talk' is real. If so, I'll comment further next week.
I think it's still cheap. All of this gain has been due to the Euro collapse, and only a little based on QE3. I would expect at least another $100 per oz when QE3 becomes real, followed by a pullback which will provide a real buying opportunity. Remember, the real inflation will happen after we start growing again.

I'll agree with your friend - as to HF tax. Something has to be done - unless you want only software programs trading.

There is a problem with the way
HF systems are being used, but it's more complicated than most people admit.
As for the transaction tax, I think it opens a door we'd prefer closed, and hurts the markets in the long run.
But I'll have more on this in coming days. - August 19, 2011 at 4:17 PM

I am curious on your take the risk of european bank counterparty contracts draining liquidity to the point of a cascade failure. I have been following the SNB FX Swaps story, but as a total outsider, I have trouble knowing when "Mr. Durden" has his tounge planted in his cheek.
Also, beans or no beans in étouffée? - August 20, 2011 at 7:00 AM

First (and most importantly) no beans in étouffée. Beans should be served on the side with rice - as god intended them to be served.
Secondly, I have been following that story, (and losing sleep over it) but I've been traveling yesterday and today, and have a meeting tomorrow. Expect to see something on it from me about Weds (if that still isn't too late.)
I will say, I think it's a little ironic that the fate of the western world could depend on a 70 Trillion dollar market that no one has ever heard of - the Repo market. More later. - August 21, 2011 at 9:07 AM

Customer quotes
"It's very rare that I write to any manufacturer after any purchase of any product. But this time I must just say thank you for my new Electro 4. It is simply marevellous, the best sounding instrument I ever had, a huge progress over the Electro 2 I have been using for years. Yesterday I was even more surprised when stepping through the Upright samples on the DVD. Thank you so much and say hello to everyone in your team who contributed to the E4."
- Matthias Walti
I would like to thank you for your Italian Grand piano download. It's a sound with a perfect balance that suits my style of playing. It gives me oppurtunities I hadn't before. Because it's so musical it adapts perfectly to the half-pedal action and it responds like a dream. I think, this Fazioli piano it's great and it's a keeper!

New in the Nord Sample Library!
2013-05-16 The Hound was a digital synthesizer module with analog filters (VCF) developed in the late nineties by the Dutch company Cirko Electronics. Although it received good reviews when released, only 20 units were ever produced. It had a special "fatness" parameter that gave the sound more meat when applying a lot of resonance, 4-outputs and was 16-part multitimbral. Thanks to Eric van den Berk for making these samples!

Extensive update for all Nord Stage 2 users!
2012-11-21 The Nord Stage 2 OS v1.70 update addresses some bugs and includes a significant improvement in the performance of piano engine - we have adjusted the behavior that occurs when String Resonance is active on acoustic pianos and the sustain pedal is used. Thanks to Stephen that helped us out with this.
Other fixes include a case where Dual KB mode did not work properly when Global and Dual MIDI channel was set to the same value. From this version on, when sections are set to identical MIDI channels they will be marked with an asterisk in the MIDI Menu. MIDI Controller 7 was not received properly in the previous version, and a Gain feature for the Swell- and Control Pedal inputs have been added in the System menu to compensate for pedals with a lower output than expected.
The update is recommended for all Nord Stage 2 owners.

New in the Nord Sample Library!
2012-10-15 The latest addition in the Nord Sample Library is the Hohner Pianet, was one of most popular electric keyboards in the 60's and has an instantly recognizable sound that blended well with electric guitars without drowning. The Pianet used accordion reeds that were plucked with adhesive pads and was slightly velocity sensitive but like the Clavinet it did not feature a sustain mechanism. Due to a construction flaw, the Pianets generally didn't age very well due to materials that dissolved with age - and decent replacement parts were hard to come by.
This particular instrument is a "Pianet N" model (introduced 1965) and has been restored to its original condition by Australian enthusiast David Robertson. Thanks to David and Barry Carson for all the time they've put into making these samples possible!
Some famous Pianet users include: The Zombies, The Kingsmen, Bryan Ferry and The Beatles.

The Nord Sample Library is compatible with the Nord Electro 3/4, Nord Stage 2, Nord Wave and Nord Piano 2.
Brand new retro sounds available!
2012-10-09 The latest additions to the Nord Sample Library are instruments that never fully made it into the traditional Hall of Fame of keyboards. In the organ section we've added two versions of the charming and slightly cheesy sounding single manual Philicorda GM751 and GM753 transistor organs, and the sample sets cover almost every available setting on the original panels.
In the synth section we've added two exotic Italian analog synths that once upon a time set out to emulate the sounds of the symphony orchestra - a species of synths often classified as "String Machines". The Farfisa Polychrome is an extremely rare instrument from a company most famous for their legendary transistor organs and can produce very distinct sounding pad sounds and haunting choirs. The Godwin Symphony is almost equally rare and does some great 70's string and organ sounds.

What's a parent to do when your child's compliant behaviors have all but disappeared? Let's use the standing-on-the-table incident from earlier. Consider this:
- Be responsive. Describe the situation as you see it, acknowledging your child's actions: "Oh, look, there you are on the table."
- Stay nearby. Walk toward your child and say, "Mommy doesn't want you in the middle of the table."
- Offer choices. Ask your child, "Do you want to get down on your own or do you want me to get you down?"
- Follow through, but be emotionally available. If it's clear that your child isn't getting down on his own say, "I'll get you down from the table." Pick up your child and put him gently on the ground. If he becomes distressed, stay nearby and acknowledge his emotions: "I know you wanted to stand up there, but it's dangerous and you could get hurt. It's not okay to stand on the table."
- Offer appropriate activities when appropriate. That is, consider why your child was on the table in the first place: Likely, he's eager to test his body's recent ability to climb. Once your child's distress dissipates, offer a satisfying similar activity, like spending time at the playground. Reinforce: ""You can't climb and stand on the table, but you can climb on this jungle gym."

Bulgaria v Belgium - Thursday at 15:30 (14:30 CET)
Both teams lost on Day 1 but one of them will use this chance to earn a debut win in EuroBasket 2011.
Bulgaria fell in the last minutes against Slovenia but proved they have the tools to play also against the top material of the group.
EJ Rowland will try to produce another great performance but will need the help of his teammates, especially the Ivanov twins -Deyan and Kaloyan- to create good memories for Bulgaria.
For Belgium it'll be a chance to bounce back from a disappointing start after a 22-point loss to Georgia.
"We need to win three of the four remaining games to qualify," offered Christophe Beghin, and he knows Day 2 is the right time to start the run.
Georgia v Russia - Thursday at 18:00 (17:00 CET)
Russia didn't lick honey against Ukraine and already has a very intense encounter the following day, this time against Georgia in a game that will surely create the best atmosphere as the fans of these two teams show the biggest presence in Klaipeda.
Andrei Kirilenko got big help from the guards against Ukraine but will need a more dominating performance from Viktor Khryapa and Timofey Mozgov to handle the front line Georgia bring to the floor in order for Russia to prevail again.
After a huge debut win Georgia is ready for the real dish.
"We come to every game with the same approach that we want to win, no matter who's on the other side," said Zaza Pachulia after the first win, and with Russia being next in line there's certainly lots to expect from Georgia's side coming to this game.
Another win, especially against a big team as Russia, could boost up the Georgians and create a great momentum that will carry them further than many gave them credit for.
Ukraine v Slovenia - Thursday at 21:00 (20:00 CET)
Slovenia will try to climb to 2-0 against Ukraine and they know it's not going to be easy.
After the difficult time Russia had on Day 1 it's clear beating Ukraine won't be an easy task for most teams in this championship.
The size and strength of the Ukrainian bigs can give a great headache also to Slovenia.
Yet Coach Bozidar Maljkovic knows very well another win will put his team in a great position and will increase the confidence before the difficult encounter with Georgia on Day 3.
If Erazem Lorbek gets help from Matjaz Smodis, Ukraine will have a tough time to maintain Slovenia in the paint, yet another good day by the guards of Slovenia could space the floor.

UPDATE: The Reaction to Karen King's Gospel Discovery
When the divinity scholar unveiled the papyrus fragment that she says refers to Jesus' "wife," our reporter was there in Rome amidst the firestorm of criticism

"I'm less interested in proselytizing or a bigger tent for its own sake than in issues of human flourishing," she said. "It's more the, How do we get along? What does it mean for living now?
"What history can do," she said, "is show that people have to take responsibility for what they activate out of their tradition. It's not just a given thing one slavishly follows. You have to be accountable."

I would suggest that the public read the book by Migene Gonzales-Wippler,the Keys to the Kingdom. On chapter 2 pages 14,15,16,17,and 18 should give the answer. Jesus for sure had to be married. Migene is a cultural anthropologist and an award winning author of many books.

Dr. King and her team's analysis of the papyrus is on the mark. It confirms and supports some of the investigations conducted by Ralph Ellis and documented in his trilogy: Jesus Last of the Pharaohs; Cleopatra and; Jesus King of Edessa. In addition, Ahmed Osman's investigation of historical Hebrew Pharaohs are significant insights into the influence of the Amarna Dynasty on Islam, Judahism and Christianity. We cannot rely of the cannonical bible for facts of ancient history. Paul or Saul Josephus was the creator of the New Testament and he wrote to please the Romans. Jesus as an exiled Pharaoh would have been married to Mary Magdelene and have children. As a young prince, his parents would have had the funds to have him travel the world and study in lands such as India and Tibet. One area where I differ with Ralph is the exile of Jesus in England. I feel that Rome crucified the right man, he survived the crucifixion. There was a switch when it was time for the leader of the Jewsih War against Rome, to be shipped to Britain for enforced exile. I feel that Jesus of Gamalla went to India and Mary, his queen and their children to France. I feel that Jesus made his transition in his 80's or 90's in India, where he continued teaching away from the eyes of the Roman Empire. The double was exiled not the real Jesus. We must remember that the Leader of the Jewish War intended to overthrow the Roman Empire and part of his army were a school of assassins called the Siccari of which Judas was a leader. Would such an army let the Romans win it all? No.

Your article The Gospel According to King by Ariel Sabar summarizes this explosive issue well. Yet, I remain perplexed why your correspondent found it necessary to refer to two important discoveries made in Jerusalem in 1980 - the "Jesus family tomb" and the "James Ossuary" as "hoaxes, or, at best, wishful thinking". I emphatically state the the Jesus family tomb and James's Ossuary are neither. No one well familiar with the tomb materials has cast any doubt that the it is a genuine 2nd Temple Period (pre-70CE)tomb. Neither has anyone expressed any reservations that the inscriptions on six of the ossuaries, including the names Mariya (Mary), Yeshua bar Yosef (Jesus son of Joseph), Yehuda bar Yeshua (Juda, son of Jesus, Yose (Joseph), Mattya (Matthew) and Mariamne Mara, are genuine. In fact, the ossuaries can be viewed in one museum or another. Doubt has only been cast on the interpretation of the name Mariamne Mara as Maria Magdalena and the interpretation of the tomb as being that of the family of Jesus of Nazareth. In view of Professor King's discovery, the ossuaries referring to a son of Jesus and, based on Byzantine literary sources, Maria Magdalena (Mariamne Mara) the film by investigative journalist Simcha Jacobovici that the Jesus of the Jesus family tomb is Jesus of Nazareth, is certainly not as preposterous as it may have seemed in the past. The James Ossuary (inscribed "James son of Joseph, brother of Jesus")and its owner antiquities collector Oded Golan spent some four years in Israeli courts after the authenticity of the inscription was challenged. The judge ruled that the prosecution had been unable to prove their case. If so, there is no good reason to doubt the authenticity of the inscription. Whatever the case, your correspondent should have checked his sources more carefully and not use harsh terms such as "hoax" when only disagreements regarding interpretations of facts had taken place.

Jesus never had any children. He did not obey the first commandment God gave to man. Genesis 1; 28.

I just read the very interesting article about Karen King's parchment. Toward the end of the story, it says that the results of a radiocarbon dating test and ink analysis weren't expected before mid-October. As it is now mid-November, I am curious as to what the tests showed?
Posted by Stephanie Ceman on November 15,2012 | 10:48 PM
This article reminded me of how the public reacted to Yoko Ono when she became involved with John Lennon.The same with how they react with Jesus being involved with Mary. It's almost as if we do not want our icons involved with anyone but "us".
Posted by Cathy Hamilton on November 15,2012 | 06:07 PM
1. On Jesus being married, the canonical gospels I think would have mentioned her. His mother and brothers are mentioned easily enough when they try to take Jesus away from his public ministry. St. Peter was married, and the gospels mention that: Jesus cured St. Peter's mother-in-law. Further, it would have been difficult to support a household as an itinerant preacher. St. Peter and the boys at least fished once in a while. Once Jesus gets John's baptism, he never seems to touch a hammer. 2. The fragment in question, valid or not, is a translation of the original Greek. Well, the Vulgate is a translation, too. Close maybe, but no cigar. 3. I don't think Jesus being married would alter much in the life of the Church. The monastic tradition, with its three classical vows, grew up as a sideline. 4. Granted, Jesus being unmarried as a first-century Galilean carpenter is odd. Garry Wills writes that, even though celibacy was not an ideal everywhere at the time, it was among the Essenes near the Dead Sea. Wills writes that Jesus could have been part of that community before his public life. His rationale: Jesus knew three languages, when he should have known only two. Jesus knew Aramaic, the language of the street. He knew Greek, the real language of the Roman Empire (there was no translator when Jesus and Pilate spoke together). But Jesus knew Hebrew as well. Hebrew was an arcane liturgical, scholarly language (think pre-Vatican II Latin). Jesus could have learned Hebrew with the Essenes. 5. Apocryphal gospels may be fun and exotic, but they still can be bogus. Ever catch "The Protoevangelium of James"? The Church Fathers rejected it, with its amazing depiction of Jesus Brat, the murderous Nazareth bully. (I suspect the Church Fathers took copies with them at evening parties for a few laughs.)
Posted by Frank McEvoy on November 15,2012 | 12:27 PM
Let's me see if I have this straight. The fragment is 1,600 years old, written by we know not who and says, " Jesus said to them, my wife-" This certainly warrants ten pages in the magazine. Actually, I am more concerned that Christians will consider this to be an insult to Jesus and go on murderous rampages on campuses around the world. Brings to mind, Shakespeare: "Much Ado About Nothing or Tempest in a Teapot."
Posted by Samuel Clemens on November 8,2012 | 03:06 PM
If Jesus was not married, he was gay and followed the Greek view on women. This is highly unlikely. Jews got married. I dont understand why modern Christians argue this way, being fully brainwashed by the Early Church of fanatic men who sought to destroy everything in opposition to their view. The only reason to erase the possibility of marriage, was to avoid descendants of Jesus forming a dynasty and claim his inheritance through the female line. From a Roman perspective the kingdom was now part of Rome, no longer a kingship. The fact that Mary Magdalena is associated with a harlot only goes to show that she is identified with Afrodite. It is the later church (ruled by men) who demonize her when they want to get rid of peganism. Women are demonized into the Medieval Period, an important element in laws of inheritance in favor of the male line.
Posted by Anton on November 4,2012 | 09:35 AM
Jesus is the Son of God. Don't you think that He would have taken a pure woman and not an ex-harlot? How rediculous. He was not sent here to partake in earthly things. He knew his time was short. There were corruptors even during the ministry of the disciples. Many of the New Testament books talk about this. That is why Biblical text is compared to itself, if it contradicts, it is not of God. Satan uses things like this to decieve the masses, even the church if that is possible. Study the Bible, its history and its people. Every time you read it the deaper your understanding of the truth of this world.
Posted by Allen on October 30,2012 | 08:47 PM
I'm just loving the discomfiture Ms. King has caused in the high seats of power. Not only is there a problem now with the priests "who forsook women and marriage" (as per sandyra below), but the alleged all-male enclave of Jesus's disciples has been used for most of two millennia to exclude women from the priesthood and everything else except congregant, nun-schoolteacher, and housekeeper for priests. Now there's a conundrum!
Posted by Sarah on October 30,2012 | 08:12 PM
I'm in agreement with Steve. From the translation, it seems to me that the disciples are arguing that Jesus SHOULD take Mary as his wife ("... Mary is worthy of it..."), but Jesus is explaining why he chooses NOT to marry ("... she will be able to be my disciple ..."). The line where Jesus says, "My wife..." could lead into any number of things - "My wife is the church", "My wife will be decided by my Father", etc. I am also not a expert so there may be reasons in the grammar or specific wordings to make them lean toward saying that Jesus is married to Mary, but the only hint at that is a single sentence in the article: 'Despite the New Testament's many Marys, King infers from a variety of clues that the "Mary" in Line 3 is "probably" Magdalene, and that the "wife" in Line 4 and "she" in Line 5 is the same woman.'
Posted by John on October 30,2012 | 02:27 PM
Frankly, I don't know what the big deal is. Why does everyone get upset if he had a wife? Considering the time period and the culture, it seems rather unreasonable to expect him NOT to have had a wife. I admit I am not an expert on Jewish customs, as I am Christian, however, didn't they all marry early? Wouldn't it have been expected that he would? He was sent here to live as a reglar man, was he not? To go through the same trials and tribulations? So, wouldn't that have included marraige?

Ramon Tapia's "Trolley / The Ride" EP
Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012Ramon Tapia is somethin' else. His name reminds me of my favorite white (often blackened) fish, and his dry, buoyant, percussion-driven sound reminds me of a paradisiacal alternate universe. You'll probably see what I mean when you check out his new EP, "Trolley / The Ride," out now on Skint Records.
Here's the release announcement from Skint and the streamable EP below:
Ramon Tapia is on the up. With releases on huge labels such as Craft, Great Stuff, Strictly Rhythm and 100% Pure in the last few years, he is turning himself into one of the leading new breed of house producers. We at Skint, are pleased to announce that we have our first release with him which is certain to get the party started as it aims directly at the dance floor.
'Trolley / The Ride' are 2 tech infused house tunes layered with percussion and deep driving baselines that would work too well for the peak time hours. Ramon's productions skills are on fire at the moment that showcase in the support gained from big names over the Miami period.
