Universal reconciliation
Part of a series on |

Christianity Portal |
In Christian theology, universal reconciliation (also called universal salvation, Christian universalism, or in context simply universalism) is the doctrine that all sinful and alienated human souls—because of divine love and mercy—will ultimately be reconciled to God.[1]
Universal salvation may be related to the perception of a problem of Hell, standing opposed to ideas such as endless conscious torment in Hell, but may also include a period of finite punishment similar to a state of purgatory.[2] Believers in universal reconciliation may support the view that while there may be a real "Hell" of some kind, it is neither a place of endless suffering nor a place where the spirits of human beings are ultimately 'annihilated' after enduring the just amount of divine retribution.[2] The concept of reconciliation is related to the concept of salvation—i.e., salvation from spiritual and eventually physical death—such that the term "universal salvation," is functionally equivalent. Universalists espouse various theological beliefs concerning the process or state of salvation, but all adhere to the view that salvation history concludes with the reconciliation of the entire human race to God. Many adherents assert that the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus Christ constitute the mechanism that provides redemption for all humanity and atonement for all sins.
Unitarian Universalism is a religious movement which emerged in part from the Universalist Church, but it no longer holds any official doctrinal positions, being a non-creedal faith. Universal reconciliation, however, remains a popular viewpoint among many congregations and individual believers.
An alternative to universal reconciliation is the doctrine of annihilationism, often in combination with Christian conditionalism.
The most recent academic survey of the history of Universal Salvation is by Richard Bauckham. He outlines the history thus:
- "The history of the doctrine of universal salvation (or apokatastasis) is a remarkable one. Until the nineteenth century almost all Christian theologians taught the reality of eternal torment in hell. Here and there, outside the theological mainstream, were some who believed that the wicked would be finally annihilated (in its commonest form, this is the doctrine of 'conditional immortality').[3] Even fewer were the advocates of universal salvation, though these few included some major theologians of the early church. Eternal punishment was firmly asserted in official creeds and confessions of the churches. It must have seemed as indispensable a part of universal Christian belief as the doctrines of the Trinity and the incarnation. Since 1800 this situation has entirely changed, and no traditional Christian doctrine has been so widely abandoned as that of eternal punishment. Its advocates among theologians today must be fewer than ever before. The alternative interpretation of hell as annihilation seems to have prevailed even among many of the more conservative theologians. Among the less conservative, universal salvation, either as hope or as dogma, is now so widely accepted that many theologians assume it virtually without argument."[2]
Early Christianity[edit]
Many early church fathers have been quoted as either embracing or hoping for the ultimate reconciliation of God with His creation. Those that did not embrace the teaching, such as Augustine, acknowledged that it was a common enough belief among Christians of the day.[4]
Origen (c. 185 – 254)[edit]
Origen and a form of apocatastasis were condemned in 544 by the Patriarch Mennas of Constantinople and the condemnation was ratified in 553 by the Fifth Ecumenical Council. Apocatastasis was interpreted by 19th Century Universalists such as Hosea Ballou (1842) to be the same as the beliefs of the Universalist Church of America.[5] However, until the middle of the sixth century, the word had a broader meaning. While it applied to a number of doctrines regarding salvation, it also referred to a return, both to a location and to an original condition. Thus, the Greek word's application was originally broad and metaphorical.[6] Many heteroclite views became associated with Origen, and the 15 anathemas against him attributed to the council condemn a form of apocatastasis, along with the pre-existence of the soul, animism, a heterodox Christology, and a denial of real and lasting resurrection of the body. Some authorities believe these anathemas belong to an earlier local synod.[7][8][9] The New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia claims that the Fifth Ecumenical Council was contested as being an official and authorized Ecumenical Council, since it was established not by the Pope, but rather by the Emperor, because of the Pope's resistance to it. The Fifth Ecumenical Council addressed what was called "The Three Chapters"[10] and was against a form of Origenism which had nothing to do with Origen and Origenist views. Popes Vigilius, Pelagius I (556–61), Pelagius II (579–90), and Gregory the Great (590–604) were only aware that the Fifth Council specifically dealt with the Three Chapters and they made no mention of Origenism or Universalism, nor spoke as if they knew of its condemnation, even though Gregory the Great was opposed to the belief of universalism.[11]
Fredrick W. Norris maintains Origen may not have strongly believed in universal reconciliation at all. In an article on Apocatastasis in The Westminster handbook to Origen (2004) he writes that "As far as we can tell, therefore, Origen never decided to stress exclusive salvation or universal salvation, to the strict exclusion of either case."[12]
The most important school of Universalist thought was the Didascalium in Alexandria, Egypt, which was founded by Saint Pantaenus ca. 190 C.E.[13] Alexandria was the center of learning and intellectual discourse in the ancient Mediterranean world, and was the theological center of gravity of Christianity prior to the rise of the Roman Church.[14][15]
Clement of Alexandria (c. 150 – c. 215)[edit]
The Universalists Hosea Ballou (1829), Thomas Whittemore (1830), John Wesley Hanson (1899) and George T. Knight (1911) claimed that Clement of Alexandria expressed universalist positions in early Christianity. These claims have been controversial since they were first made.[16] In fact, Clement used the term apocatastasis to refer only to the "restoration" of a select few.[17]
Gregory of Nyssa (c. 335 – 390s)[edit]
Gregory of Nyssa was declared "the father of fathers" by the seventh ecumenical council and some traditional and modern Greek orthodox scholars dispute Pierre Batiffol and George T. Knight's claim that Saint Gregory of Nyssa and Saint Macrina the Younger, who were brother and sister, believed or taught universal salvation.[18][19][20][21][22]
However, Gregory of Nyssa, in his book Sermo Catecheticus Magnus, described: "The annihilation of evil, the restitution of all things, and the final restoration of evil men and evil spirits to the blessedness of union with God, so that He may be 'all in all,' embracing all things endowed with sense and reason."
He further stated, "when death approaches to life, and darkness to light, and the corruptible to the incorruptible, the inferior is done away with and reduced to non-existence, and the thing purged is benefited, just as the dross is purged from gold by fire. In the same way in the long circuits of time, when the evil of nature which is now mingled and implanted in them has been taken away, whensoever the restoration to their old condition of the things that now lie in wickedness takes place, there will be a unanimous thanksgiving from the whole creation, both of those who have been punished in the purification and of those who have not at all needed purification."[23]
7th century – Isaac of Nineveh[edit]
One of the documented teachers of universal salvation is St. Isaac the Syrian in the 7th century,[24]
Middle Ages[edit]
The Universalist John Wesley Hanson stated that even after eternal hell became the normative position of the Church, there were still some Christian thinkers during the Middle Ages who embraced Universalist ideas. In his Schaff article George T. Knight stated that "maybe" Johannes Scotus Eriugena, Johannes Tauler, Blessed John of Ruysbroeck and Blessed Julian of Norwich had Universalist leanings.
16th century – Reformation era[edit]
If ideas about the salvation of all souls after purgatory existed in early Christianity, they did not resurface in the Reformation, although figures such as Erasmus rekindled interests in the Greek Church Fathers, and early advocates of universal salvation, such as Origen, became more broadly known as new editions of their writings were published. The period between the Reformation and Enlightenment featured extended debates about salvation and hell.[25] The main controversy during this period was between the majority, who believed in the immortal soul and eternal punishment in hell (such as Calvin), and a minority, (including Luther) who believed in soul sleep. Joachim Vadian and Johann Kessler accused the German Anabaptist Hans Denck of universal salvation, but he denied it, and recent research suggests that this is not so.[26][27][28] Hans Hut was deeply influenced by Denck, but there is no evidence that he spread the doctrine of universalism.
17th century[edit]
The 17th century saw a resurgence of Christian universalism:
- Gerrard Winstanley, The Mysterie of God Concerning the Whole Creation, Mankinde (London, 1648).
- Richard Coppin, A hint of the glorious mysterie of the divine teachings (1649), defended at Worcester Assizes, 1652.
- Jane Leade, A Revelation of the Everlasting Gospel Message (1697).
- Jeremy White, chaplain to Cromwell, wrote a book, entitled The Restoration of all things, which was published posthumously in 1712 after his death in 1707.
18th century (Britain)[edit]
George Whitfield in a letter to John Wesley says that Peter Boehler, a bishop in the Moravian Church, had privately confessed in a letter that "all the damned souls would hereafter be brought out of hell"[29] William Law in An Humble, Earnest, and Affectionate Address to the Clergy (1761),[30] an Anglican, and James Relly, a Welsh Methodist, were other significant 18th century Protestant leaders who believed in Universalism.
In 1843, the Universalist Rev J. M. Day published an article "Was John Wesley a Restorationist?" in the Universalist Union magazine suggesting that John Wesley (d. 1791) had made a private conversion to Universalism in his last years but kept it secret. Biographers of Wesley reject this claim.
18th century (America)[edit]
Universalism was brought to the American colonies in the early eighteenth century by the English-born physician George de Benneville, attracted by Pennsylvania's Quaker tolerance. North American universalism was active and organized. This was seen as a threat by the orthodox, Calvinist Congregationalists of New England such as Jonathan Edwards, who wrote prolifically against universalist teachings and preachers.[31] John Murray (1741–1815)[32] and Elhanan Winchester (1751–1797) are usually credited as founders of the modern Universalist movement and founding teachers of universal salvation.[33] Early American Universalists such as Elhanan Winchester continued to preach the punishment of souls prior to eventual salvation.
19th century[edit]
The 19th century was the heyday of Christian Universalism and the Universalist Church of America.
20th century[edit]
The Universalist Church of America merged with the American Unitarian Association in 1961 to form the Unitarian Universalists.
Hans Urs von Balthasar wrote a small book addressing the virtuous hope for universalism, as well as its origin in Origen, entitled Dare We Hope "That All Men Be Saved"?. He also addressed the relationship between love and universalism in Love Alone is Credible.
Adolph E. Knoch and William Barclay were universalists. In 1919, the Swiss F. L. Alexandre Freytag led a breakaway group of the Bible Student movement.
Children's author Madeleine L'Engle (A Wrinkle In Time) was an advocate of universalism, leading several Christian retail outlets to refuse to stock her books.
21st century[edit]
Christian Universalism continues as an influence within Unitarian Universalism.
In 2004, the Pentecostal bishop Carlton Pearson received notoriety when he was officially declared a heretic by the Joint College of African-American Pentecostal Bishops. Bishop Pearson, who had attended Oral Roberts University, a Charismatic Christian college, formally declared his belief in the doctrine of universal salvation. His church, called the New Dimensions Church, adopted this doctrine,[34] and in 2008, the congregation was merged into All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, one of the largest Unitarian Universalist congregations in the world.[35]
In 2005, Cardinal Murphy O'Connor, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, expressed his hope that Protestants and non-believers are destined for heaven.[36] and expressed his personal hope that he would be surprised in heaven.[37]
A book The Evangelical Universalist: The Biblical Hope That God's Love Will Save us All by "Gregory MacDonald" was published in 2006. "Gregory MacDonald" is a pen-name. It has subsequently been revealed that the author is Robin Parry. The same author is also co-editor of a 2003 compilation Universal Salvation? The Current Debate and of a 2010 book "All Shall Be Well" which reviews the doctrine of universal salvation from Origen to Moltmann.
On May 17, 2007, the Christian Universalist Association was founded at the historic Universalist National Memorial Church in Washington, D.C.[38] This was a move to distinguish the modern Christian Universalist movement from Unitarian Universalism, and to promote ecumenical unity among Christian believers in universal reconciliation.
In 2008, the Russian Orthodox bishop Hilarion Alfeyev of Vienna, in his presentation at the First World Apostolic Congress of Divine Mercy (held in Rome in 2008), argued that God's mercy is so great that He does not condemn sinners to everlasting punishment. The Orthodox understanding of hell, said Bishop Hilarion, corresponds roughly to the Roman Catholic notion of purgatory.[39]
Contemporary Conservative Evangelical teachers of ultimate reconciliation include Thomas Talbott, Stephen E. Jones,[citation needed] J. Preston Eby[citation needed], Bill and Elaine Cook.[citation needed], and J.D. Leavitt, founder of Heavenly Faith.[40]

Citing an improvement in the lumber market with housing starts expected to be "modestly higher" this year, Sierra Pacific Industries is once again operating its small-log sawmill at the Quincy facility.
Company spokesman Mark Lathrop said several mill workers would be placed in new jobs at the plant, so this first week is a training week. A second shift, creating some 50 jobs in all, is scheduled to begin its production next week.
Because of the soft lumber market, the large-log sawmill was recently reduced to a single shift, so the net gain is approximately 33 jobs between the two plants.
Lathrop added that the wet spring and heavy snow has made it difficult to keep SPI's mills operating because of log supplies and not being able to operate in the woods.
Faced with continued supply and demand challenges, SPI ceased its small-log production in Quincy in May 2009. At that time, the company said the closure was being considered permanent, but added it would keep the plant's equipment in place and operational in case conditions change.
"We are encouraged to get people back to work and sincerely appreciate all the support from Quincy and the surrounding Plumas County communities," Lathrop said.

The man accused of killing a 10-month-old girl and her grandmother in an Upper Merion apartment tower in October had reportedly lost $15,000 gambling at casinos in the week before the crime.
The Associated Press reports that 26-year-old Raghunandan Yandamuri told authorities about his gambling losses in a videotaped statement he made following his arrest. The statement was played at his preliminary hearing on Wednesday morning.
Authorities have said the murders of Saanvi Venna and her 61-year-old grandmother, Satyavathi Venna, were part of a botched ransom scheme in which Yandamuri planned to demand $50,000 from Saanvi's parents for her safe return. Several copies of a ransom note were found at the murder scene.
The Montgomery County District Attorney's office is reportedly considering seeking the death penalty for Yandamuri.

Especially with Cory Jane, now regarded as the first choice All Blacks wingman, came on in the second half and had a significant impact, scoring the try that began the All Blacks fiery end to the contest.
It was a try that reaffirmed Jane's status as one of the most deadly finishers in the game, and ensured he kept his nose in front of the usual competition that exists within All Blacks backs – with the 100kg plus dreadnoughts of Savea and Gear not able to replicate the Hurricanes magic touch.
Savea was in awe of his Super Rugby team-mate.
"One play, he took out two defenders," Savea said.
"His ability to do that (means) he's one of the best wingers/full backs in the world."
Not to be outdone, Savea got in on the scoresheet with a brace of tries.
The 2010 IRB Junior World Player in the Year is developing a fearsome strike rate, scoring ten tries in his five tests to date.
The All Blacks will come up against the biggest wings in the Northern Hemisphere this weekend, with usual starters George North and Alex Cuthbert tipping the scales at 109kg and 104kg respectively.
Although as Wales have found out, size does not always matter, with both giant wings having precious little impact against Samoa over the weekend.

LONDON, June 23 (Reuters) - Britain's economy could fall back into crisis if the government abandons its austerity programme, finance minister George Osborne said on Sunday as he raced against the clock to finalise the latest round of departmental cuts.
Three days before he announces ministries' spending limits for 2015-16, Osborne said the budget deficit was still too high and he was committed to finding savings worth 11.5 billion pounds ($17.7 billion).
'We are out of intensive care and our job now is to secure the recovery,' Osborne told BBC television. 'There certainly is a chance of a relapse if we abandon our economic plan.'
Britain's Conservative-led coalition government is sticking with its central economic policy of reducing a deficit that peaked at more than 11 percent of gross domestic product before it came to power in May 2010.
Despite tax rises and cuts, public borrowing has remained stubbornly high over the past year, and data on Friday showed public net debt climbed to record levels in May.
Asked how many of the 17 government departments had agreed to his spending plans, Osborne said only that the job was not finished and more work was needed before he unveils his spending review on Wednesday.
A deal was reached with the defence department on Saturday, Osborne said, ending what analysts saw as one of the most difficult sets of negotiations.
General Peter Wall, the head of the army, said last week that more cuts would seriously damage the country's chances of success in future wars.
Osborne said the defence deal would see cuts to civilian staff numbers, while protecting Britain's military capability. However, he said there was no agreement with the business department, run by Vince Cable, a senior Liberal Democrat, the junior coalition partner.
Labour, which leads the Conservatives by around 10 points in the polls with the next election due to be held in 2015, accuses the coalition of choking the recovery with its austerity drive.
Labour finance spokesman Ed Balls said he would adopt Osborne's day-to-day spending limits for 2015-16 if his party were to win the election. However, he wanted the coalition to spend 10 billion pounds more on capital projects such as new roads.
Balls said he would be prepared to borrow more to finance extra capital expenditure, an admission junior Conservative finance minister Sajid Javid held up as evidence that Labour couldn't be trusted to balance the books.
'Of course there's a case for doing that,' Balls told BBC television. 'If George Osborne had done that last year or the year before, we wouldn't have had such a flatlining economy.'

Studies on effects in pregnancy have not been done in either humans or animals. However, these medicines may be absorbed into the body.
These medicines may be absorbed into the body. Atropine passes into the breast milk in very small amounts and may cause side effects, such as fast pulse, fever, or dry skin, in babies of nursing mothers using ophthalmic atropine. It is not known whether homatropine or scopolamine passes into breast milk. Although most medicines pass into breast milk in small amounts, many of them may be used safely while breast-feeding. Mothers who are using one of these medicines and who wish to breast-feed should discuss this with their doctor.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur.

These are absolutely gorgeous. The flavour is much more than black pepper. Mint, leek, and asparagus are the main flavours here. If you're looking for something like a spicy curry, with chilli and/or turmeric, this won't be the pot for you, but it's far from bland. I prefer milder flavours for health reasons, so this pot is perfect for me and my taste palette. It's also substantial, because of the quinoa and bulgar wheat so it makes a great snack or even a meal if you have some bread or a wrap with it.

Healthy, yummy, convenient.
I keep these in the office as well as at home. Sometimes I'll add goats cheese or asparagus. Lovely product.

Worst of the flavours
There are 3 flavours of this pot - the other two are great but this one is off-putting

The texture is fine, you just need to let it "sit" for 15 minutes rather than the instructed 10, however the general flavour is, as pointed out in other reviews, all black pepper. It isn't spicy black pepper per se, it is just devoid of flavour from the other ingredients...

Healthy and convenient-great
This is a great find when trying to eat a healthy low GI diet and watch weight, these are easy to prepare if at work, ate mine with cooked salmon, they are just great and knowing they are healthy seems too good to be true, but they are I've checked!

Woodland takes Transitions, adds more names to the list
March 21st, 2011 by Kristofer Anderson
Gary Woodland made a crucial par putt after a wayward third shot on the 18th hole on Sunday. Webb Simpson then failed to make a similar par putt on the same hole to force a playoff. Simpson and Woodland both had crucial mistakes on the back nine as the pressure of the situation seemed to take hold. Woodland was able to make the deciding putt while Simpson was not.
Gary Woodland does not seem to have a lack of confidence. He appeared to have every intention of closing deal as he strutted around the Copperhead course and twirled his club after every shot. It is difficult to discern if he is a confident young golfer or suffers from the same attitude issues that have plagued so many talented young golfers. Aside from his short game, he has a very impressive swing and certainly hits it as long as anyone around.
The win is a huge stepping stone in Woodland's career. He lost earlier this year to Jhonathan Vegas at the Bob Hope and this weeks win earns him a place in the Masters in a couple weeks. It seems as though every week a new young golfer is stepping on to the stage and claiming his place among the golfing elite. It should make the majors this year the most tightly contested ever. Particularly if Tiger and Phil can find some sort of consistency.

Marion Barry implies colleagues oppose his bill because they're white
Marion Barry is in hot water again for race-based comments. He delivered a tirade against his white colleagues on the D.C. Council at their final legislative meeting Tuesday.
Barry's anger started when he tried to pass a bill that would extend employment discrimination protections to ex-offenders. The Council approved a similar bill put forward by Chairman Phil Mendelson.
"This bill is dividing the black community and the white community. We don't need that in our city," says Barry.
With a vote of 11 to 2, the Council passed Chairman Mendelson's bill which, unlike Barry's bill, does not give ex-offenders the same legal rights as other minority groups, but it does create a "certificate of good standing" program for job-seekers with criminal records.
"We all want to improve the ability of people to reenter society," says Phil Mendelson, (D) D.C. Council.
Barry would not relent, vowing to "go on a warpath against anyone who opposes this bill."
"Well, some people say Marion Barry is responsible for racial division. That's [expletive], that's [expletive]. There's racial division all over America and Marion Barry is not all over America," he says.
David Catania aggressively pushed back.
"The notion that we disagree with someone our entire public service is cast into question or we are somehow labeled as insensitive because we disagree is really as I said a part of vanity and the stock and trade of a long bankrupt servant who has long, long ago failed to offer constructive solutions for the problems that afflict this city and I have had it," says Catania, (I) D.C. Council.
"We as a body have to become more respectful of each other," says Vincent Orange, (D) D.C. Council.
As Orange called for the Council to come together, more sharp words were exchanged between Catania and Barry.
Sitting in the front row was D.C. Chamber of Commerce President Barbara Lang, who supports Mendelson's bill and opposes Barry's, calling his comments "unfortunate."
"Nothing could be farther from the truth and I am sorry as an African American woman. A couple weeks ago he accused me of being a traitor to our race and that doesn't help us at all in this environment trying to move forward," says Lang.

Wolves beat up on Bulldogs
Published on Wed, Oct 6, 2010 by
Dan Kari Konp Sportscaster
Read More
Sequim quarterback Drew Rickerson connected with receiver Joey Hall for three touchdown passes and running back Isaac Yamamoto ran for 162 yards and two scores as the Wolves rolled to a 49-20 romp over the North Mason Bulldogs Friday night at Bulldog Stadium.
The Wolves struck quickly after taking the opening kickoff with a pair of 19-yard Yamamoto runs setting up a 22-yard Rickerson-to-Hall scoring strike just 43 seconds into the contest. The duo connected again from 18 yards as Sequim led 15-0 with 4:13 left in the first quarter.
As quickly as the Wolves took a two TD advantage, North Mason's Tevin Williams got the Bulldogs back into the fray. The elusive senior bobbled the ensuing kickoff at his own 15 before accelerating through the pack on the left sideline and raced 85 yards for a touchdown, cutting the Wolves' lead to 15-7.
"Somebody broke down somewhere," Sequim coach Erik Wiker said. "I think what happened is he bobbled it a bit, then everybody relaxed for a second, then he turned it on. He's a fast kid, he's a good runner and he can see seams."
Sequim countered the big Bulldog play with one of its own when Frank Catelli ripped the ball away from North Mason's Kameron Crosswhite and took the pigskin 25 yards to pay dirt and a 22-7 Wolves advantage with 7:24 left in the first half.
On North Mason's next possession, the Wolves sacked quarterback Charlie Becker on an ill-fated fourth-down conversion attempt at the Bulldogs' 32.
Sequim took to the air again with Rickerson finding Hall over the middle for the third time on a 32-yard TD pass, boosting the lead to 29-7.
The Rickerson-Hall connection
Wiker lauded Hall's receiving success against North Mason. "He (Joey) has worked really hard in practice on all the little things. He's the best at getting them flat-footed and then taking off and he's open."
Hall caught nine passes for 188 yards and three scores.
Wiker also talked about quarterback Rickerson's understanding of the Sequim offense. "I call plays that he totally reads and I don't know who it's going to. He understands it really well; he's a great field general with nice touch and he's calm under pressure. He can make a mistake, but still go back out there and perform at a high level."
Rickerson completed 13-of-18 passes for 214 yards, three touchdowns and was intercepted three times, including two by the athletic Tevin Williams.
North Mason got its only sustained drive of the first half - a 12-play, 53-yard march over three minutes and 30 seconds - scoring on Tommy Renne's one-yard plunge with 1:43 before intermission, cutting the deficit to 29-14.
Second half romp
It was all Sequim after halftime, as the Wolves' quick-paced offensive tempo wore out the Bulldogs. The Wolves went up 34-7 on Rickerson's 55-yard quarterback keeper with 6:26 left in the third quarter._"Speed and tempo are definitely our friends," Wiker said. "You can't practice it that fast. We know going into halftime that they've (the opponent) played a full game. When they come out for the third quarter, they've got a bit of energy like it's an overtime situation, but after that (the defenders) are coming off to the sidelines with their hands on their knees."
Yamamoto scored his two TDs in the final period - from 25 and eight yards - to increase the Sequim bulge to 49-14.
North Mason quarterback Charlie Becker connected with Josh Hoiser for a 15-yard touchdown pass as the game clock expired for the Bulldogs final points.
Wiker said Friday's game was just another in a series of championship games for his squad.
"My theory is ... we always start the playoffs early with these guys (North Mason) and we talk about playoff seeding and league championships," he said. "If our kids go into this as a league championship game, they understand that ... and they know next week it's the same thing."
Sequim faces another strong test Thursday night with a visit to Kingston (3-2) at Buccaneer Field, while North Mason travels to Port Angeles Friday.
The Wolves are 3-0 all-time against the young Buccaneers. Last season, Sequim topped Kingston 49-6.
KONP Radio will broadcast Thursday's Sequim-Kingston game on AM 1450, FM 102.1 and online at www.konp.com beginning with pre-game coverage at 6:30 and the kickoff at 7 p.m. Along with announcer Dan Kari of KONP, former Sequim coach Phil Langston provides the game analysis.

March 01, 2011 / Vol. 1 / Issue 4 / Drought Tracker / A Publication by CLIMAS
Drought Conditions
Much-needed precipitation doused Arizona in late February after a record-setting dry beginning to 2011. The storms, however, provided little relief from mounting drought conditions in the Four Corners region of Arizona and New Mexico and did not significantly improve snow pack conditions in most basins in Arizona. The southern tier of both states has experienced less than half of average precipitation since the water year began on October 1 (Figure 1). Precipitation deficits in this area currently range between 3 and 6 inches. Northwest Arizona has been the lone exception to the widespread dry winter, and most of the area's precipitation fell from a series of storms during a brief period in late December and in February. Drought conditions reflect the dry conditions. Currently, about 13 percent of Arizona and 33 percent of New Mexico are classified with severe drought, according to the most recent U.S. Drought Monitor. Severe drought has expanded in New Mexico by about 19 percent from March 1; nearly all of New Mexico is classified with at least abnormally dry conditions (Figure 2). Projections of a dry winter, based largely on the La Niña event, have so far been accurate, particularly in the southern regions of both states where La Niña has the strongest impact.
The La Niña event continues to reign across the equatorial Pacific but has begun to weaken. Most forecast models call for a return to neutral conditions by early summer, but chances are greater than 90 percent that La Niña conditions will continue for the next several months (Supplemental Figure 1). Four out of the six previous strong La Niña events carried through the summer and into the following winter, presenting a possibility that this La Niña may continue beyond a single year. Over the next several months, forecasts call for persisting, expanding, and intensifying drought conditions in all of New Mexico and all but the northwest corner of Arizona (Supplemental Figure 2).
Source: National Resources Conservation Service
- Snow water equivalent (SWE) is very low in most mountain ranges in New Mexico and eastern Arizona (left); compared to other La Niña winters, SWE is near near average.
- Nearly all watersheds in the Upper Colorado River Basin show above-average SWE and the upper Rio Grande Basin has near-average SWE (Supplemental Figure 3).
- The most current streamflow forecast suggests a 50 percent chance that inflow to Lake Powell will be about 113 percent of the 1971–2000 average during April–July, or 9 million acre-feet; streamflow in the Little Colorado River is projected to be less than 50 percent of average (Supplemental Figure 4).
- The precipitation outlook for March–May suggests a 40–50 percent chance for drier-than-average conditions in nearly all of Arizona and New Mexico (right); chances for above-average precipitation are less than 27 percent.
- Dry conditions also are forecasted with a 40–50 percent chance for below-average precipitation for the April–June period in New Mexico; odds are slightly less in Arizona.
- About 60–80 percent of the La Niña events between 1950 and 2008 contributed to precipitation totals between 0.4 and 1.2 inches below the March–May average in Arizona and New Mexico (Supplemental Figure 5).
Final Word
- Expanding drought conditions are based on forecasts for below-average precipitation and above-average temperatures. These stem in part from the La Niña event and decreasing precipitation trends in the spring months caused by longer-term climate changes.
- The La Niña event weakened, but forecasts suggest the event will persist at least for a few more months.
- January was the driest on record in New Mexico and the second driest in Arizona (Supplemental Figure 6).
- The past 30 days have been very dry in much of Arizona and New Mexico, particularly in the southern tier of both states where precipitation has been less than 50 percent of average (Supplemental Figure 7).
- Most of New Mexico and Arizona have at least a 40 and 30 percent chance, respectively, of experiencing an extremely dry March–May, in which conditions are similar to the driest 20 March–May periods in the last 100 years (Supplemental Figure 8).
- Natural climate variability other than La Niña also influences the region's climate. Negative phases of the Arctic Oscillation often cause below-average winter temperatures (Supplemental Figures 9–10).
- If dry conditions continue, the risks of an active wildfire season, lower spring streamflows, and poor range conditions will increase.

text: Last year I visited this memorial beside the Moffat-Edinburgh road overlooking the Devil's Beef Tub to John Hunter. He came from the parish of Tweedsmuir in Peebleshire and while visiting a sick friend in the farm of Corehead in Moffat he was surprised by dragoons of Col Douglas who was searching the area for field conventicles of outlawed Presbyterian Covenanters. Hunter tried to flee up the hillside opposite the memorial. Trying to take to the steep ground unsuitable for horses was to no avail. He was captured and executed on the spot,marked by a boulder known as the Martyr's Stone. His body was recovered and taken back to Tweedsmuir where it was interred in the local parish cemetery. The gravestone was erected in the 18th century and cared for by Robert Paterson "Old Mortality" in the book by Sir Walter Scott. The Hunter,Welsh,Fraser,Hope,Tweedie and Porteous families were long associated with this area. See http://www.ajbhope.net/tweedsmuir-and-the-covenanters/ for more local information.

I am writing today from the beautiful Tampa Bay area.
And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they [were] bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, [which] when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I [am] the LORD that healeth thee. Exodus 15:23-26
Why did God have Moses put a tree in the bitter water? How did a tree make the water sweet? In 1 peter 2:24, Peter refers to the cross as a tree. In a world of hate and bitterness, Jesus died on that tree to save us from a bitter world. Sin has cause suffering and bitterness but Jesus was lifted up on the cross to make our lives sweet again. I and many others believe this is why Moses used a tree to make bitter water sweet again.
I would like to invite you to experience the grace that can make your life sweet again, by visiting the Tampa First Seventh-day Adventist Church, pastored by pastors Brad Cassell and Claudette Aleman. If you are not in the Tampa Bay area, you can find a grace filled church in your corner of the world here.
Maybe a recent loss of a loved one, or a bad relationship, or just the trials of life have made your life bitter. At the Tampa First Seventh-day Adventist Church, you can find how the cross can make your life sweet again by attending one of our life groups. Find out more at Tampa First or call 813-933-7505.

The Canucks can look at it this way, if he leaves Nashville, he does not sign with Detroit, San Jose (shopping Dan Boyle), and Nashville. Simultaneously hurting the west while the Canucks still have a top four of Hamhuis, Bieksa, Edler (assuming they can resign him) and Garrison all under 30 signed for at least 3 more years. There is a plus regardless of the bad.
Rachel Zane: You're a sneaky little boy.
I didn't think weber signing here was ever a realistic possibility.
Apparently the Canucks did think about giving him an offer sheet but they thought NSH would match it.

REBNY Report: NYC Broker Confidence Fell in Third Quarter
Confidence among New York real estate brokers dipped in the third quarter thanks to political disarray in Washington and a relentless push toward super-luxury residential development that has dimmed the prospect of middle-class housing creation.
The Real Estate Board of New York's Real Estate Broker Confidence Index found that overall broker confidence fell to 8.75 percent in the third quarter from 8.89 in the second quarter. "New York City remains one of the most prosperous and dynamic real estate markets in the world," Steven Spinola, the president of REBNY, said in a prepared statement. "We're seeing strong and steady demand for both residential and commercial properties, while financing for deals continues to improve from the downturn. That being said, there are political headwinds like another government standstill that could disrupt market confidence especially if it triggers a sudden and rapid rise in short-term interest rates."

Back in the 70's I saw ZZ Top in Tulsa, OK. The concert blew me away. There was a plexiglass pyramid on the stage with a rattlesnake in it. A buzzard on a perch sat behind (or next to) Frank Beard. And then on each end of the stage were these black curtains and up rises a Longhorn and a Bison. I do not remember the year or the tour...but I am hoping someone out there does!! Anyone?
