New Member Information
Dear Friend,
Welcome to Seattle First Baptist Church. We are thankful that you are here because we know that your presence is a gift. And we hope that your experience of this community will be a gift to you as well.
Our Mission Statement says, we are "a community of faith united in exploring what it means to follow the way of Jesus Christ, to be a people of God and to love and care for our neighbors." In order to be that community, we have given ourselves three tasks:
Liberating the Heart. One of the central characteristics of our Baptist heritage is "soul freedom" — the liberation not only of the mind but of the heart so that we can freely and fully love the world God loves. The aim of our worship, retreats, interfaith connections, and small groups is to "free out hearts," as the hymn says, "for faith and praise."
Engaging the Mind. Through education programs for the whole family, we expect that our exploration of what it means to follow the way of Jesus Christ and to be a people of God will open our minds — not close them. Opportunities for thoughtful reflection abound both in formal study programs and informal conversations. We bring our whole selves to this community so that we can...
Embrace the World. We bring our hearts and minds together so that we can put our hands to work. We know that the good work of loving and caring for our neighbors takes a thoughtful and compassionate community. Which brings us back, full circle, to "liberating the heart." The needs of the world can be such a great burden on our hearts that we lose our energy and vision. We gather to remind ourselves that the work of embracing the world begins with, and is sustained by, a liberated heart.
We hope that you will join us in this mission and these opportunities. And we are grateful for the gift of your presence on this journey of exploration, reflection, and hope. We trust that, together, we can love and transform the world. Blessings to you and through you to the world.
Rev. Tim Phillips, lead pastor
Rev. Catherine Fransson, pastor
Rev. Craig Darling, pastor

How do we worship at Seattle First Baptist?
Our primary meeting as a community is our 11:00 a.m. Sunday morning service and includes the important elements of praying, preaching, and singing together each week. Opportunities to become involved in worship life include ushering, greeting, coffee hour and several musical groups. Our large Sanctuary Choir sings every Sunday in worship and presents several concerts/worship events each year.
You may find American Baptists challenging
We do not recite or believe in a defined creed
We enjoy these freedoms
- to create our own relationship with God
- to interpret scripture in our own way
- to be "priests" to one another without a mediator
- to have no hierarchy over our local congregation
Therefore, we each accept responsibility for our spiritual journey by following the way of Jesus Christ through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, articulating our faith and sharing our understandings along the way
We practice voluntary faith commitment. No one can require faith or a kind of faith from you. You can enter into it only by your own volition.
We admit we do not have all the answers, especially for you, and we enjoy engaging the questions together. Our dialogue builds our faith.
A creed does not provide all the answers. We are comfortable with differing views of faith principles such as incarnation, evangelism, and holiness, because we enjoy the freedom to come to our own interpretations of these principles ourselves.
Formal Christian creeds (Lutheran, Episcopalian, Roman Catholic) assume agreement on their faith tenets, although many members of those denominations would have individual interpretations of them, too. We enjoy exploring such beliefs together in our learning community. Since a creed provides "answers," without it we are considered a "free church."
We are all spiritual beings. We become whole persons only by nurturing all of ourselves, including our spiritual dimension. But each of us finds that nurture in different ways, some in worship, at prayer, walking the labyrinth, serving on a board or task force, helping out. If you are a seeker, you will be at home here.
We are called to become the whole person God created us to be. This is a safe community in which to ask questions, try something new, join a small group, participate in a retreat, work on a commission, walk the labyrinth, and enter more fully into the whole life of faith.
Perhaps this openness and freedom appeals to you... We invite you to meet with one of our pastors, some of our members, and participate in our Sunday morning and Wednesday evening activities and worship to see where you feel most comfortable.
FAQs about Seattle First Baptist Church
Who are the Baptists? Baptists are the second largest religious group in the US after Roman Catholics. The largest protestant denomination is the Southern Baptist Convention, which left relationship with us over the issue of slavery in the 1860s. There are dozens of different Baptist denominations, most more conservative than we are.
What do Baptists believe? Our common principles are autonomy of the local congregation, believer's baptism (we do not baptize infants), the centrality of the Bible in our preaching and teaching, the freedom to interpret scripture individually as we dialogue within and without our congregation, the freedom to choose what to believe about God, the freedom to have a relationship with God without a mediator (or priest), and the observance of the Lord's Supper and believer's immersion. We also believe in religious freedom and separation of church and state.
Who Are American Baptists? After the Baptists (who wanted to retain the institution of slavery) left us in 1845, we existed as a group of Mission Societies and a triennial convention until 1907, when we named ourselves Northern Baptists. We renamed ourselves the American Baptist Convention in 1950 and the American Baptist Churches, to reclaim our status as associational, and not hierarchical, in the 1970s.
What does Seattle First Baptist Church believe? We embrace soul freedom, scriptural freedom, church autonomy, and religious liberty, and emphasize your responsibility to undertake your own spiritual journey. We believe God has created you with special gifts, and would like you to develop them and find meaning by offering them within or outside of the church. This is your response to God's call in your life. We have ordained pastors, but all our members are our ministers. We observe the Lord's Supper on the first Sunday of every month, and we baptize those who make a decision to follow the way of Jesus Christ by full immersion.
Where did Baptists Come from? Some trace our roots to the Anabaptists (re-baptizers) of Central Europe. Most trace our roots to the English Reformation, the Puritans, Separatists, and Baptists in England and Holland.
Who Are Some of our Founders and Leaders? John Smyth escaped persecution of the Puritans in Massachusetts to found the First Baptist Church of America in Providence, Rhode Island. He established that the Rhode Island Colony would be the first outpost of religious liberty on the continent. Baptists spread rapidly during the Great Awakening, a revival beginning in 1726 continuing through the middle 1700s.
William Carey began the missionary movement in England in 1793 by going to India. Ann and Adoniram Judson were sent to Burma by Massachusetts Congregationalists, but on their way, became Baptists. Walter Rauschenbusch (1861-1918) was the father of the social gospel (Christianity and the Social Crisis (1907). Martin Luther King, Jr. was an American Baptist.
What affiliations do we have? We are part of the Evergreen Association of American Baptist Churches centered in Metropolitan Seattle with outlying churches stretching from Alaska to the San Francisco Bay Area and Utah. All of us also belong to the American Baptist Churches USA whose headquarters are in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Biennial national gatherings are held in odd-numbered years: this year (2009) in Pasadena.
What does this church value? We value the individual spiritual journey, challenging and insightful preaching, discussion and study together, and prayerful and joyful worship. We value an intergenerational membership from newborns to nonagenarians, and include the full range of ages in our several retreats. We are an open and affirming church for all persons regardless of their sexual orientation, education, status, or life circumstance. We have been marrying same sex couples for thirty years. We publicly advocate for peace and justice in Seattle and throughout the world. We have jazz concerts, labyrinth walks, women's meetings, a well-equipped nursery for infants, a wide variety of classes for children, youth and adults. We continue to grow in all the ways the diverse membership here leads us to grow.
How do we survive financially? It is your choice to determine how much and how often to contribute to our annual operating budget. We take an offering every Sunday and campaign in the fall for funds to be pledged to the next year's budget. Scripture encourages tithing, giving a tenth of one's income to your church and/or other worthy causes. But we encourage proportionate giving that is appropriate to all your financial needs. Every amount helps.
There are four American Baptist Mission Offerings each year: Ministers and Missionaries Love Offering (for retired pastors and missionaries), American for Christ Offering (divided equally among Evergreen Association, National Ministries and International Ministries), One Great Hour of Sharing (emergency disaster relief and development), and World Mission Offering (for International Ministries). Special envelopes are provided for each.
How do I join this church? Anyone who wants to follow the way of Jesus Christ may walk forward during our commitment hymn at the close of worship and indicate their interest in becoming a member here. You may also meet with a membership representative in the Hintz Chapel directly behind the sanctuary after church to express this desire and begin to get acquainted.
If you are a baptized member of a faith tradition that follows Jesus but in a different Christian denomination, we will accept your original baptism after some further dialogue about your faith story. We will ask for a letter of transfer from your former church, but often we accept your word. No further baptism is required.
You may request to be baptized if you desire. If you haven't been baptized (as an infant or youth or adult) we will joyfully lead you through the waters of baptism in our sanctuary during morning worship. Meetings with a pastor are recommended.
All new members are officially received by the congregation by our Hand of Fellowship during morning worship. A sponsor will be assigned who introduces you to the congregation. You will be given a certificate of membership to keep.

A mother is making a cake for her three sons when she accidentaly dropps some BB from the shelf into the batter. She decides that it won't matter and continues to make the cake. Later that day, her sons eat the cake and don't even notice the BBs.
The next day, when the mother is reading a magazine on the couch, one of her sons runs in saying, ''Mom, mom, I pissed out a beebee!''
She says ''That's okay, son. I accidentaly dropped some beebees into the cake batter. You'll be fine.''
Five minutes later, one of the other sons, come running in and he says, ''Mom, mom, I-'' but the mother cuts him off and she says, ''I know, I know, you pissed out a beebee. I dropped it into the cake batter, but you'll be fine.''
Then her last son runs in the room, and he says, ''Mom, mom, I-'' and the mother cuts him off and says, ''I know, I know, you pissed out a beebee. It's my fault for dropping it in the cake batter, but you'll be fine.'' But then son says, ''No, no, I was masturbating and I shot the dog!"

Top Performer Stock Market Competition
Purpose of the Top Performer Competition
The main purpose of this program is to help you gain a better understanding of investments and personal finance. The contest will take place during June and July and will test you against other high school students. The goal is to make the smartest trades and gain the most money. The only thing required to take part in this competition is computer access.
3rd Annual Top Performer CompetitionUsing web-based software, you will make virtual trades with $1 million of virtual money. UT Dallas finance professors will be available to answer questions. At the end of the summer, you may win one of the great prizes. In addition to winning iPads and thousands of dollars in cash prizes, you will have the opportunity to watch videos, take assessments, and earn certificates in investments and personal finance. The Details
We believe that education in the areas of investments and personal finance is critical for students. We have put together four different certificates in order to help students understand some of the important areas within the field of finance. Students will create an account with schoology.com. This will be very similar to an online college course where there will be different modules for the students to complete. Each module will have a completion exam that the students will take after watching videos and completing other resources. We use a combination of videos provided by the Khan Academy, Investopedia, The Life Foundation and videos and content created by UT Dallas faculty and others. Another Competition PrizeAt the end of the competition we will draw three random names for students completing a certificate. Your name can only be put in the drawing one time and the prizes are to be determined later in the competition. You don't have to be present at the awards party to get the prize.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Richard J. DurbinJanuary 30, 2003 Statement of Senator Richard J. Durbin Nomination of Miguel Estrada to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals Senate Judiciary Committee The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals is not just another federal circuit. The D.C. Circuit is the AAA team for the United States Supreme Court, and the White House has made it clear that Miguel Estrada is in line to move up to the major leagues. So Miguel Estrada is not just another nominee. His personal story is compelling. His legal credentials are impressive. And I believe that the decision of the Bush White House to affirmatively act to add more Hispanics to the judiciary is appropriate. But his views are so suspect that he has consistently refused to be candid to this committee. If this committee is to live up to its constitutional obligation we must make certain that this process is about advise and consent, not cat and mouse. Miguel Estrada ducks the real issues and refuses to provide this committee with the legal documents he prepared that would give an insight into his legal thinking. When Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, a former Catholic seminarian, testified under oath before this committee that he had never considered the issue of abortion, he established a witness strategy that Miguel Estrada has faithfully followed. It is an affront to the integrity of this committee and our constitutional responsibility to allow this type of strategy to succeed. I oppose the nomination of Miguel Estrada. |

Why do you suppose I want tell my W, I still hurt? I want her to know this still is on my mind and it still is having a negative effect on me..
[This message edited by forgivenotforget at 10:13 AM, March 18th (Thursday)]
Anyway, he's still angry this morning ... He says he feels like he's in jail,
I think we all believe that by not letting them know we hurt, they will think everything is o.k. You feel like you are helping them sweep it under the rug. Now about that question. I do not believe I have ever done that, but I can see why people would want to. I have a question for you. Did your H like the puppy you got?
It is good to hear that you are feeling better and that you told her about this. I guess BSs need to remember that their WSs can't read our minds either.
Well that deal with the VAR is not good. If he bitches about that again, point out that you did not do things like that before he had his A. It is not like you suddenly decided to spy on him for the fun of it! Damn these WSs are so dense sometimes. He needs to grow out of his go out and party mode.
It is always good to read your posts. Thanks.
Thanks for the miracle up date. It is good to hear she is on the mend.
It sounds like your MC is really tuned into the real world. What he said was way to cool.
I hope we get a update about m3 and the baby soon. I suppose we may be waiting a few days for that info.
Hugs to the tribe.
[This message edited by forgivenotforget at 1:14 PM, March 18th (Thursday)]
Hi everyone,
I know I haven't been around in a while. I kind of just needed a break from it all to try to take the next step forward. I still remember clearly those early days when everyone on here kept saying "baby steps" "one day at a time" etc when I couldn't make it to the next minute!!!
Anyway, things are good. I sailed past the 2.5 year mark without (almost) noticing! My H continues to work very hard on himself, he continues to be patient with me (yes, I still yell, I still cry, I still trigger but it is less and less). He is still transparent. But, more importantly, I am less dependent on him. I have grown a lot through this and realize that I was trying to control something that was, obviously, waaaaayyyyy outside of my control. So, although I pray he will not do this again, I know he has been given the once chance to make it all right with me and the family. He doesn't get a second chance!
I will never get completely caught up as I missed most of XVI so I will just say hi and try to get back in the swing.
To the newbies: you don't know my story but the infidelity in my marriage was staggering. I found out on my two ddays that my H had never been faithful our entire marriage. The good news is that he told me everything (can't imagine there could BE anything else ) and he immediately started working on himself. I did kick him out for 4 months so he could feel what it would be like to lose his life with me and the family. That bitch-slapped him back to reality pretty quickly.
My advice: don't even worry about what they are thinking, how they "feel", etc. Set your boundaries, make your demands and define clear consequences that you are willing to defend. If they won't adhere, guess what? They won't adhere to anything including being truthful and trustworthy. Better to find out sooner rather than later!
That was a pretty good rant. The WSs have such a warped double standard. That is such a pisser.
Here is a great example of double standards. I asked a money/tax related question to a very trusted friend. During the Q & A, I did disclose some approximate figures. That had to be done in order for him to give me his best educated opinion. My W and I are both very private when it comes to money matters. I would never have discussed this with him had I not trusted this man to be confidential. When I told my W about the discussion she got very mad. I believe the rant started with how could you share our private matters, our private life with him? She went on, and on, but I did not hear much else. You know what I was thinking. How could you think it was o.k. to share yourself, my private life, our house, with men I did not even know, but think what I just did was so terrible?
It makes me wonder how she would handle me having sex with several other women.
Poor Mr. Allgood. He is getting a shity deal. His BW is spying on him. Poor Mrs Dip. Her BH does not know he should never disclose any private info to anyone. These WSs have such a hard life sometimes.
It is good to hear that things are good for you. Thanks for the advice. Things like that are much needed and appreciated.
he got served today ... it is his day off and he called my cell ...
I did not answer knowing what it is about ... he had no idea I hired an atty ... or that he was going to get served ...
he left a snarky voice mail on my sell ... something to the effect ...
"well I just got served by your atty. I thought we were gonna handle this outside the courts ?? well I will no longer be talking to you about anything ever again. It will all go thru your atty. goodbye..."
what the hell ??? asshole did you think I was just gonna stay married to you while you keep fucking the whore ??? and let you decide to get D when the time suits you ???
I have no desire to stay M to you any longer especially while you are still with the whore ...
why should everything be all roses for you ??? you get the whore, stay married to me, and get D when it suits you ??? while I am just swinging here in the wind ???
I soooo dont think so ... I am taking control of the sitch now ... you took control of how you walked away from the M ... now I am taking control of I how I tell you to go fuck yourself ...
deal with it !!!!!!!!
and I posted a reply in General to the thread when did you know it was time to D ... something like that ... and I was on a roll with that response to ...
OMG it feels so good ... I have had all this pent up inside for me for what seems like ever .... and it is all rushing out tonight ... no Ms. nice booger bear tonight ... the gloves are coming off ....
I wish everyday could feel like this ... I know they wont but I am gonna enjoy this one while it lasts ....
Allgoodnamesgone I think forgivenotforget made a great post for you (and me) just hold your head high and strength to you. No, I dont think he knows what he has done to you, the hurt and pain. I think you can also try and stay positive around him with I can make it through this Im not giving up on us I can forgive you for this We need help to reconnect, we can do this I think your H is in a bad place. IF he is at all has any type of heart, he has got to hate himself for what he has done. My brother in law called me after he found out what his sister had done to me my brother in law cheated on his first family left his first W for his AP. He told me It was the biggest mistake in his life At the time his A was discovered, if his first W showed him she wanted to make is work without all the stuff betrayed spouses do. He would have tried hard, but he gave up... He got in this it will never work phase. He asked me to be kind and try and show his sister how much I do love her... So I did in many ways.. and didn't is other.... My point is you are a very smart person just think twice before any words stay positive share ONLY feelings do not be upset at yourself because you checked on him, be smarter about that next time keep asking him that you both need to find a way to get back to when you both first met and you want a relationship that involves just you and him . Just my thoughts.
Booger it is hard to handle stuff like this outside the court he is in dreamland. I bet no way he can send everything through the attorney hes gonna be calling and email good luck with all that stuff, Im sure you are going to face some challenges.
Hurtshirley I sure hope I get where you are in 2.5 years..
Iwant you OK?
[This message edited by trynhard at 6:27 AM, March 19th (Friday)]
We had a day of just enjoying each other... we went on an overnight trip, away from my daughter... to focus on us.
We started going out several times a week to local pubs and resturants to have a glass of wine.... We'd meet after work, just to talk about current events, the kids, our jobs, things that need to happen around the house, etc...
I know you have kids so you need someone that cares about you to help watch them, haul them etc...
It takes a effort to reconnect. It take someone to take charge and do it... I notice sometimes it's the wayward, sometimes it's the one hurt.
And know this, there are going to be many times there is going to be things said that will hurt each other... anger, crying... Make it known in advance you both expect it to happen... don't run and hide (if you do leave, just say It is to get composure back)
A lot of people think love is a feeling...but, it is a choice. You make the choice to make reservations to nice resturant, you make a choice to have sex, you make a choice to hug, to kiss, to talk nice and tell someone the things they do to make you feel good... So if you choose to love him... you need to do loving things. When our spouses made the choice to be evil, to break a commitment to god, they made a choice not to love.
We sometimes let our emotions like anger, take over. We say unloving things, do unloving things...
Since he is not getting help and you are... he won't get it... not unless you teach him. You need to just think very hard before you talk... think very carefully... you can make a choice to say or do something loving, or do something unloving.
Loving yourself too... Love yourself enough not to be the doormat... not to be exposed to HIV.
If he does or says things that are unloving... just tell him how you felt.
ie... "when you didn't come home, I felt a fear because you are my childrens father, was you off to hurt yourself, in some ditch? I felt dejected, I felt suspicious you selected to go back to OW... It all hurt me."
If he wants to make a choice to love you, he will not do things unloving anymore...Both of you are not in good mental health. No way... he needs help to get him healthy again.
One day, you will make a choice to trust him again too. When you are ready, you are ready. Meanwhile you are an oxymoron.. trust but verify... lol...
Just like I would hire you to represent me in a D... next time you want to snoop, get professional help. Go to the money machine and slowly get cash if you need to buy a device... take his car to the pro to install the gps.. or whatever... When all your life you have been trusting and honest, you really don't know how to be sneaky. That's me... but today, I live and learn.
and this too..For me, It was real hard to let some details go that you really dont need to know. I now accept, my W loved the OM in many ways not just sex but other things She had sex with him many times.. maybe 200 so times It doesnt matter where, the dates it was while I was coaching the kids or working (my feel comment about my giving to our family while she was selfish) It is what it is
And you know what? If he makes a decision not to love you, It is out of your control. You will have known you made the best possible effort to R.... if he leaves... a good man will come into your life... you are a catch! Good job, passion, smart, in shape... you'd be Valedictorian of the dating pool! If you decide to leave, that is ok too... you are justified and knowbody will blame you.
[This message edited by trynhard at 1:07 PM, March 19th (Friday)]
and I did not answer again ... 180 in full swing powering on ahead ...
Allgood: I feel the advice to get a pro to put in stuff in the car is a good idea if it will give you piece of mind. I'm sorry, but all the things he's saying about feeling he's in prison,etc. must have been taken from the script my WH has been reading. I don't know if it's a red flag, or your WH just wants to feel "normal". He still has to understand that there are consequences to his actions and he doesn't want to deal with them.
I'm really hatin at the moment
10K today at 51:01... Not bad first run of the season.. over 40... or should I say almost 50???
Booger.. I read that Waywards all go through a grief once they know it's really over... Maybe your soon to be XH is about to feel some pain.. I know he wasn't too nice to you but it might be a good idea to be firm but nice... I think it's a good idea not to call him back... maybe email any issues about settlement. Good luck with all that... get what is yours.
[This message edited by trynhard at 1:22 PM, March 20th (Saturday)]
i only skimmed the last few pages..i will try to read it again later or more likely tomorrow...
a few things though did stand out..
fnf: that was a great rant, and i ranted right along with you..
allgood: your ws is having a temper tantrum because you are not letting it go, and he doesn't know how to deal with it and he doesn't want to deal with it....its got to be hard to face it when you have devastated someone so deeply, so that his life as he knew it is gone, and he needs to pull up his big boy pants and deal...if he doesn't you will never get to a good place with him...he could either help you get there and help save the marriage or you will get there by yourself and the marriage will be gone..
booger: total yay...you have come such a long way in such a short time...i am so proud of you... ...and the 180 is perfect..., when i get the energy i will have to catch up on your other rants..
hurtshirley: i am happy that things are going well for you...and that your ws is working at it....
dip and tryn: you both did very well holding down the fort...
sailaway: one of the guys asked you how he reacted to the puppy...its a good question...and i could relate..
...the surgery that i just did was so out of character for me, something i never ever would have done before, it was a selfish surgery something just for me...you see i always wanted a flat belly, and even though i lost some weight and my body is rockin my belly still was not flat, i also had a horrible scar from an appendctomy gone wrong..so i selfishly decided to get a tummy tuck and get that scar revised, well the tummy is tucked and the scar is gone...as much as i have some pain now i know that a couple of weeks from now i will have a body to be even more proud of...plastic surgery to me prior to this was something for rich people, vain people...never for someone like me....rich..i certainly am not, vain...as far from vain as one could get....i never wear makeup, i don't dress up unless there is a reason, my hair is just plain styled, nothing fancy...nothing fancy about me...but this i decided to do for me......last night i looked at pfm and i was crying because as much as i will be excited for my new belly when the pain goes away i was so sad because it would have been different, should have been different...but it is what it is, and i now live for me and my kids...that is all that matters....
i have to give pfm some credit, he has been really good about all this, and very helpful because i am incapacitated...but then again i feel like well its the least the bastard could do...he cost me greatly, he cost me my idea of what a family and a marriage was...i am still devastated beyond reason, but i am living my life, i will not wallow, i will not lose myself ever again in someone...
so anyways, whatever his reaction to the puppy was, how did you feel about doing what you wanted to do. taking control of you and your decisions for your life...getting a puppy is a step in taking back your power...taking back you....so good for you...and keep it up...
i am tired now and need to go rest...i missed talking with all of you, i will try to check in later, if not i will be back tomorrow
m3: i hope you are enjoying you new girl...i hope you are getting some sleep...

ACAFE Asthma Clinical Assessment Form & Electronic Decision Support
Welcome to our ACAFE research project
Acute asthma is a common presentation to emergency departments. Consensus and evidence based guidelines for the assessment and management of asthma indicators are widely available. However adherence to such guidelines and indicators has been shown to be variable, resulting in gaps between current evidence and clinical practice. This has implications for the quality of care delivered by emergency departments. These discrepancies manifest in suboptimal management strategies such as underprescription of corticosteroids, underutilised asthma management plans and inappropriate imaging.
ACAFE aims to address the issues mentioned above by developing and implementing an emergency department electronic interface that facilitates standardized clinical documentation and management based on current asthma management guidelines and indicators.
The ACAFE system will be a major step in bridging the gap between evidence and practice for emergency departments thus improving the quality of patient care.

At least 706,530 kilograms (more than 1.5 million pounds) of arsenic-containing drugs were sold for use in animal products in 2010, according to analysis of FDA documents by the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future. Arsenic-based drugs are fed to animals to control intestinal parasites, promote animal growth, and to make the meat products look more appealing to consumers. Consumption of arsenic from animals is toxic to human health, and arsenic from animals' waste is toxic to the environment.

"For me, being 'the girl' is normal. It's always been like that," she said. "I've been living in a man's world."
The 10-day celebration, which was equipped with everything from zip lines and BMX courses to scuba diving, will end today, and Boy Scouts from across the globe will return home.
"I'm sad. There's all this activity, it's so alive and abuzz, and then it's quiet," National Boy Scout Jamboree Director Larry Pritchard said Tuesday.
Now, the next step is to clean up the 10,000-acre site, which could extend through the end of August, according to Pritchard.
"A really pleasant thing is we've seen Scouts are taking care of themselves," he said. "There's not a lot of litter, and our recycling plan at campsites has worked well."
Pritchard said his team will be "laying the groundwork" for the 2017 Jamboree as soon as he receives feedback from "reaction reports" that were widely distributed to Scouts, unit leaders, volunteers, sponsors and exhibitors.
Plans for a "high-adventure program" at the Summit site are already in the works for next summer.
Among the successful changes he's seen at this year's event is the new camping layout, Pritchard said.
"We were intentional with how we had them camp. In the past, whole groups from certain areas stayed together. This year we mixed everybody up so that one troop from New York was next to a troop from Missouri," he said. "I hope those relationships were an important thing to take away."
Pritchard said that while he's awaiting more feedback, he's confident that the much-anticipated event lived up to the hype.
"I think that we'll hear that expectations were exceeded. They knew about our physical plan, but you have to see it to believe it. You don't know what a 100-yard skateboard park looks like until you're there," he said. "I hope they go back home and tell their stories, and bring friends back with them the next time."

Treasured food memorabilia from the Leson collection
As you might imagine my Food for Thought co-conspirator Seattle Times Food writer Nancy Leson collects lots of stuff to do with food. Menus, old recipe cards, handwritten notes, the works.
When she mentioned to me that she had recipes from "King's Queen Bea" I admit I had no idea who that was. But I should have.
Long before Martha Stewart, even before Julia Child, TV cooking pioneer "Queen" Bea Donovan hosted a live show on KING-TV. Nancy can now gloat over her collection of Donovan's recipes on official Queen Bea stationary.
All I have to brag about is my ancient loose-leaf of household hints I found in a thrift store years ago. Who wrote all this stuff up I have no idea but if you want to know how to keep flies off of gilt picture frames I'm the man to see.*
So what have you got in the way of interesting or better yet, bizarre, cooking memorabilia?

Social Networking for Fashion Doll Lovers
I don't know about where you are but here in the UK the weather has been awful! However today there is an unfamiliar yellow round disc in the sky! This got me to thinking that this would be an ideal theme for the month. So let's celebrate some 'Mellow Yellow' and the sunshine
This month sees a change to the prizes too. As we have been seeing a much larger volume of entries to the theme contest I thought it only right that the prize be split slightly. So now we have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize!!

The 'rules' of the theme photo competition are very simple:

split is very reliable. We use it for porting large log files, and it worked well for up to a couple of GBs ( not 50 gb anyway ). I believe you can try using the split for your requirement, and let us know. Split into 5GB files It will split into multiple files of 5GB and name it as xaa, xab, xac, .... and so on. Concatenate by this you can concatenate as single file in the other end. |

"It's just a little bit more than an enchilada to me..."
Film Synopsis:
Bullock portrays Alyssa Rothman, an American activist battling a group of ruthless developers out to destroy the rainforest and its native population. But when a hotheaded photojournalist arrives to investigate the murder of a local union leader, they will together uncover a conspiracy of betrayal, violence and passion.
My Take:
Ouch...this one's gotta sting. Sandra, you did well here, a little rough around the edges but that sexy girl-next-door, 'je ne sais quoi' was apparent...so don't be too embarrassed. Craig Schaffer was well, Craig Schaffer and this was on par with all his performances (besides his Oscar worthy turn in Clive Barker's Nightbreed).
In the outskirts of the Bolivian rainforest, an environmentalist union leader of 'rubber tappers', aligns himself with Indians to protest deforestation, then is killed by an arrow through the neck while trying to take a shower. The local police arrest an Indian who is part of that tribe, who lives in the rainforest. Of course it's a set-up, and the worst thing about it is the dead guy helped the indigenous people by tying to protect their land...so why would they kill him? Well the accused kills himself (or does he?) in jail so no one will know the truth. A tribesman comes to claim the body and our newly met enemies (in a desperate play on Romancing the Stone), Sandra the Environmentalist and Craig the random American photographer, decide to follow the tribe down the amazon on a canoe, with no supplies, no skills to survive on the terrain, and no idea the destination...Genius. From there they get shot at, healed by some witchy-doctor herbs, witness a technically proficient rainforest autopsy by thong wearing natives, trip on some native root drug and then get it on in a laugh-out-loud sex scene.
Some plot huh?
There is a little more..but my fingers hurt from typing, just like the (look at the screenwriters names, are they lost characters from Reservoir Dogs?) screenwriters must have... which is apparent by the lack of attention to logical detail, the 78 minute runtime and the abruptly terrible ending.
I appreciated the pro-environmental ideals, especially in the late 80s (this was filmed in 1990) when saving the rainforest was all the rage. The story they built upon that idea worked conceptually, but didn't translate well to film. The only possible draw I see to this film is that is has Sandra Bullocks only sex scene, where she is fully nude (don't get you hopes up, you only get full side shots). Too bad Craig Schaffer's reptilian-like tongue moves made it ultra-laughable.
Slurp Slurp.

'Fire on the Amazon's' source leaves a lot to be desired. Colors go from over-saturated to natural scene by scene. Black levels fluctuate as well, sometime looking nice, but more often than not, they caved-in showing floating gray in them. Some video noise was apparent in backgrounds and darker scenes. There were the times on the brighter scenes things look pretty nice and almost fool you into thinking this looks better than it is. Finer details are not as pronounced as newer, better filmed movies, but on occasion, especially on close-ups, we are treated to some definition. The Audio track was a product of amateurish sound design by the crew, not the encode or mix. However, it was a bit better than the video. There were times it sounded as if it was recorded in a tunnel...but thankfully it was only a few scenes that exhibited this. The dynamics were average as was the LFE. Surrounds were there, I think..I had to walk up to check the activity...at least all the dialouge was discernible. This is a film you wont check out for the A/V presentation.
Bonus Features:
- (HD) Theatrical Trailer
- (HD) Trailers: I Spit on Your Grave, The Bleeding
Final Thoughts:
'Fire on the Amazon' has no special features, doesn't look good, doesn't sound good, and isn't good. I can recommend steering clear of this one unless you are interested in Sandra's roots...

TWNP-Wrestling News & Information:
Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez were interviewed earlier today by Chris Van Vliet. In the interview Del Rio and Rodriguez discussed how scary it was when Jerry Lawler had his heart attack on Raw a few months back.
"We were hearing everyone kind of panic and it was very scary. You're at a point where he basically died… It was definitely a scary moment."
Del Rio also commented on the impact that CM Punk's nearly year-long title reign has had on WWE.
"Punk is an excellent wrestler and an excellent performer and I think he's doing a great job."
Del Rio talked about being a heel and never wanting to be a babyface.
"This is what I love to do. I'm just having the best time of my life being a heel. I want to be a heel for the rest of my career but I'm not sure if that's possible."

I have a blazers tattoo. Does that make me a fan?
Posted 04/29/2013 2:33 PM
I root for the team every year, I may want them to change players, coaches, owners, gm's or whatever at a particular time but when the season starts I always want the best for the team.
Posted 04/29/2013 2:37 PM
I remember the first game I ever went to. They were the worst team in the league a few years back when Webster and Jack were rookies, they played the bucks and lost. one of the best nights of my life. I'll never forget my first game
Posted 04/29/2013 5:26 PM
Riverman, you have that lost treasure some of us call loyalty. Until this team turns their backs on me (not even sure how that could happen) I'll be sticking with them.
I'm with cmeese insofar as I don't share the sentiment that we should keep all the lovable end-of-the-bench guys that we tend to acquire (e.g., Nolan, Luke, Armon, CJ...). I'm more about seeing the team get better, and I'm not shy about sharing my opinions about who should be kicked to the curb. But that's because I know that a franchise isn't the specific players on the roster, it's the make-up of the team. I think most of Rip City would like to see talent AND character instead of compromising one for the other. I don't want Beasley or Bynum on the team, but I don't think we should have a team of Sebastian Telfairs either.
I think last year was a good example: a lot of us wanted to be rid of Felton and Crawford, but there were a lot of "fans" that either gave up on the team or hoped we would tank for draft position. Every night, I'm rooting for a Blazers W, whether or not I love every guy on the floor. Hopefully, the true fans will continue to be true fans, and all the others will pass through without being too annoying. ;)
Posted 04/29/2013 5:46 PM
I have no player loyalty my loyalty is to the team and if trading the entire roster gives me a better team than that is what I want to do. If tanking is the answer then I will suck up the embarrassment for that year and hold out hope that it was worth it. I do have ridiculously high expectations of the team and anyone who does not meet them or if the teams fails to meet them together I will demand change simple as that.
Posted 04/29/2013 6:16 PM
The only point I don't agree with you on is tanking. I lose respect for a team that tanks. Now, giving lots of minutes to developing players when the season gets away from you, that's different. When I hear "tank", I think throwing games and not playing to your full potential. That's going to do more damage to the competitive nature of your team than any lottery pick can fix.
Posted 04/29/2013 6:48 PM
Posted 04/29/2013 7:33 PM
I want the BLazers to be great since I live in Portland.
I love players and I hate some players
I spend too much time on forums and watching games, but thats because I love the NBA/Basketball/Blazers sooo much.
I can say I hate some players tho. Just because your a fan you dont have to LOVE every player or every move the organization makes.
Posted 04/29/2013 7:54 PM
I am not talking throwing games that is wrong but trading your starters for young talent and draft picks to completely rebuild is okay to me.
Posted 04/29/2013 8:18 PM
Yes Cmeese, but we JUST rebuilt. We need a bench and a centre. That's it. If we had a bench guy who could create his own offence and score well, and a good defensive centre who rebounds, would you still want to trade our starters?
Posted 04/29/2013 8:36 PM
We got Lillard out of that attempt if we get Wiggins to pair with him then we have our Durant and Westbrook for the next 10 years
Posted 04/29/2013 8:49 PM
We definitely could trade Nic, Wesley, Joel, Victor, Will, maybe even LaMarcus. I think you have a different definition of tanking. I've never called a rebuild "tanking." Either way, the Blazers are still going to be the Blazers. I guess that's exactly the point. We've been an organization since 1970, and we're obviously going to go through players. But RC14 has a point that we can't keep dumping assets every year and hope to be a contender.

A homer is and always has been a perjorative. It's somebody who claims to be a fan but can't see the forest for the trees. You may enjoy the personalities, pretend the players are your friends or that you know them in any way. You don't though. The Blazer organization is a group of professionals getting paid to win. That's all. The romanticized notions of fans, loving the organization etc. are really awfully dramatic don't you think? How dare you question fan loyalty because most people don't walk around with rose tinted lenses like you?
If you care about the player's feelings more than you care about winning, you are basically the Ray Felton of the fanbase. Just somebody along for the ride that doesn't want to get better.

Posted By riverman on 04/30/2013 12:14 PM I appreciate all of the posts here. Balanced discussion and debate are healthy. I think the Blazers have the greatest fanbase in pro sports. My frustrations mainly lie with constant, overwhelmingly negative affirmations. I've never really understood what Homer meant or how local support was a character flaw but it sure gets used alot. I've done my share of criticising Noel Smith, Luke Babbit and last season, Raymond Felton. I"ve also criticised Kaleb Canales as the defensive coordinator all based on results from the job they were hired to do. There are fans who love Luke Babbit and have every reason to. That being said when someone dislikes the owner, coach, roster, gm across the board it begs the question, why are you a fan? Is it the logo?
Well it is a pretty sweet logo.
