City clean up rescheduled
The Presho Citywide Clean up event, scheduled for May 5, was postponed to May 12 due to rain early Sat. morning that left the rubble site inaccessible.
According to Mayor Mike Sprenger, it was so wet and muddy no one could have drove into the site.
Mayor Sprenger encourages Presho residents to take pride in their community. "If people could pick up trash and debris around their property that accumulated over the winter, it would improve our city."
The Presho rubble site will be open Sat., May 12 for dumping of approved items at no extra charge; not household garbage, tires or batteries.
Kennebec's town clean up has been postponed until May 19.
The Kenenbec Town Board will waive extra rubble site fees on Sat. to make cleaning up Kennebec less of a financial hardship. The rubble site will be open from 1 to 4 PM
Reliance Mayor Ron McManus said a date for the Reliance clean up will be set at the town board's meeting this week. Watch for more details to come.

Frontier Natural Products Organic Tea Lemon Ginger -- 16 oz
I love each ingredient in this tea but combined it taste nothing of ginger or lemon; all I actually taste is a cumin flavor. I keep trying it month after month. It tasted terrible the first time and 6 months later it still taste terrible.
August 13, 2013
Unique Take on Lemon Ginger
This has a very dynamic lemon tone, different from what I'd expect from the grocery. It's an impressive mix with a nice balance of zing and depth that's a result of the base herbs that are used.
If you've had Tulsi Tea's Lemon Ginger, you'll know how this tastes: rich, filling, and warm.
If you like the interpretations of Frontier Organic products, you'll enjoy this one as well!

Minnesotans Pray for Pope Francis at Basilica of Saint Mary
The world continues the celebration after the selection of a new pope.
Thursday at the Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis there was a special Mass to pray for Pope Francis, something he asked Catholics to do for him.
Rev. John Bauer with the Basilica of Saint Mary said, "Clearly he knew and understood that asking for the guidance for the spirit is understood as he took his new role and it is a vivid and clear reminder to us that it was not human praise that he sought but God's good grace."
Local Catholics told KSTP they were eager to give thanks for their new leader.

Please Don't Quote Me This Week
PART II—WEATHER. It's all up and down or swirling around in Northwest Illinois. It's seldom the same two or three days in a row so we don't get bored! Perhaps, deserts or mountain valleys have relatively calm weeks but knowing the United States they'd be active too.

My husband is a farm boy, but I was born a city kid – actually an "Air force brat". I don't regret a minute of my "growing up", but there were some things I missed. My own children had an advantage in their youth that I did not; it's called 4H.
Through this local organization, which is readily available to any youth, kids can experience the world – with or without leaving home. They can learn:
· to speak in front of a group without fear
· to formulate and voice opinions, but also to listen to the opinions of others. In their adult life, these things are called parliamentary procedure and the democratic process
· to try new and different things, and perhaps spark an interest in things previously untried
· the value of community service
· the value of their own hard work and commitment to a project
· to be leaders and mentors
My kids have made friendships that will last their lifetime. One of the reasons I have stayed involved with 4H is the camaraderie I see on a daily basis – all of these kids cheer for each other and support each other - simply because they want to.
My kids "grew up", both literally and figuratively, in 4H, and continue to use they skills they learned. I know what a difference it has made in their lives, and I consider it extremely important that those advantages be available to the generations coming behind them.
In today's world, it is easy to get on the wrong track – to expect someone else to fix it, or to think you deserve something just for being there. 4H is an excellent way for kids to learn what talents they possess, how to set goals, and how to use their abilities to achieve, and even surpass, their goals. 4H teaches children they can achieve.
Unfortunately, 4H is largely state funded; in these financial times, it is easy for programs like 4H to be severely curtailed, or to vanish altogether for lack of funding. In response to this, I've joined a group of community leaders to create the Carroll County 4-H Foundation. During our last meeting, we created a short survey to ask community members for their input as we develop our mission, values and strategic plan.
Visit this website: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WVRS3HC or call the Extension office to request a paper copy of the survey. Please let us know what you value about 4-H! The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete and your input is greatly appreciated. Visit the "University of Illinois Extension-Carroll County 4-H" Facebook page too, for a link to the survey or request a copy from the Extension office by calling 815-244-9444. Thanks in advance for your support!
4-H Project Leaders Steve and Bryan Hollewell, Milledgeville
My name is Everett Pannier and I am a candidate for Mayor of Morrison. My wife and I are lifelong residents of the Morrison area. We, and our entire family, are graduates of the Morrison School system, after which I spent a 42 year career at GE working my way up from hourly apprentice to Plant Manager. I decided to run for the office of mayor after learning that our current mayor and four of our council members were not seeking re-election. Such a turnover requires that there be a person with strong leadership skills in the office of Mayor. I believe that I have the skills and qualifications necessary to assume the duties of that office.
My background at GE afforded me the opportunity to become a good listener and communicator. In addition, I was responsible for millions of dollars in sales, material, and equipment. I have demonstrated good people skills with hundreds of employees under my supervision. I am familiar in working with budgets and measurements and providing detailed reports to employees and upper management. I have learned that to be an effective leader, one must communicate openly, be up front with everyone, and give people the opportunity to express their thoughts and concerns. If you treat people in that manner, they will respect you and the office, even though they might not have always gotten the answer that they were hoping for. These are also the skills required to be an effective Mayor.
In addition to my time at GE, I have served 8 years on the Unit 6 school board, 4 years on the board at the Morrison Institute of Technology and 4 years on the Unit 6 finance committee. Currently, I serve on the Whiteside-Carroll Enterprise Zone Board, the Morrison Area Development Board and I am an active Rotarian.
We live in a great community, but like all small cities, we have fiscal issues, infrastructure needs, and are constantly seeking ways to encourage growth and economic development. Morrison has many choices on the ballot this year for the council and mayoral positions. That is a good thing. I encourage everyone to learn about the candidates, and make an informed choice. I hope that on April 9th, one of those choices will include voting for me.
Respectfully, Everett Pannier Candidate for Mayor of Morrison
I have been a resident of Morrison, Illinois for over thirty-five years and in that time I have gained a great respect for the office of Mayor in this city. The individual who fills that seat, even though it is not a full-time position, has great responsibility and authority as granted by the people through the laws governing that office. Morrison is a fine city with residents who care about their quality of life and seek to maintain that quality for generations to come. The individual who will be mayor after the upcoming elections will play a significant role in continuing that high quality of life for the community.
I have been fortunate to have known Everett Pannier since I arrived in Morrison in 1976. He was on the School Board at the time that I started as the Junior High Guidance Counselor and I had my first opportunity to observe his abilities as a team player and an effective voice for the community. The Board had many tough decisions to make at that time and Everett was committed in making the right decisions so that the District could provide a strong education for the children. Subsequently I worked with Everett for a number of years as a fellow Rotarian and again had an opportunity to see a man committed to the organization and to serving the community. As I retired from the School District and began my next career at Morrison Institute of Technology I was pleased to see that he was a member of the College Board of Directors. For five years I had the opportunity to work with him in my role as an administrator and to observe the leadership that he gave to the College. He is a man of character, ethical convictions and extensive professional managerial experience.
I am most appreciative of Everett Pannier's service to the people of Morrison throughout the years and I enthusiastically support his candidacy for Mayor of Morrison. He will serve the People of this community with dedication, fairness and enthusiasm and we can know that the future of Morrison is in the hands of a strong leader.
Sincerely, Jim Prombo Morrison
I am endorsing Sarah (Fell) Thorndike for mayor of Morrison, IL in our upcoming election. I believe that all or most of the candidates come with city council experience and want to maintain a fiscally responsible approach to city government; I commend them for their efforts. Sarah, however, has the advantages of being a life-long Morrison resident, she is well-educated and intelligent, and has a family tradition of service to our community. She understands what needs to be done to maintain and improve the quality of life for the citizens of Morrison and those who visit here as well as what will attract future citizens and businesses. Her creativity and ability to work with a contentious, though hard-working, city council should tip the scale on her behalf. It is time to elect our first female mayor of Morrison!
Respectfully yours, Marc Adami Morrison
This is my message to the voters of Morrison. Do not vote for me. That's right, do not vote for me if you like the direction Morrison is going. Do not vote for me if you like the City Administration holding $5.5 million in debt from bonding and loans. Voters are facing the largest capital improvement project the City has ever initiated with the proposed building of a Waste Water Treatment Plant with an estimated expenditure of 18 million dollars while the Sports Complex operates in the red at $191,000.00 in 2012.
If on the other hand you believe that government should work for you and not the other way around then I'm your guy. If you believe that the taxes you pay should take care of needs first and wants second, then I'm your candidate. If you think that rules should apply to everyone fairly, then tick the box for David J. Jindrich.
Don't look for my ads, campaign buttons, or yard signs because I'm no politician and I'm not about to waste money that could be better spent elsewhere. I'm not a politician but I certainly know what it means to be a public servant. That's what I do for a living. I've been employed by the Iowa State Dept. of Corrections for 35 years. I'm a parole officer and my clients come from every walk of life. I work in the court system with attorneys, judges, and advocates. Sometimes I'm that advocate myself. Sometimes for victim and other times for my clients. I treat everyone the same way; the way I want to be treated – with respect.
My wife and I moved to Morrison almost 7 years ago because we like the community. It was attractive, clean, safe, and affordable. City administration has forgotten that property values, low taxes, and low user fees attract families, increase the tax base, and promote business. I plan to steer it that direction.
Come walk with the Mayoral candidate on the walking trail at Waterworks Park on Saturday, March 16th, and 30th, at 9:00 am. I'll give you a bottle of water and we can walk and talk. I can be reached at 772-7270 or at email@example.com
Don't forget the Candidates Forum on March 21, 2013, at 6:00 pm, in the Community Room at Odell Public Library.
Thank you, Dave Jindrich Candidate for Mayor City of Morrison
Earlier this winter the Mount Carroll City Council renegotiated the garbage hauling contract with Moring Disposal who held the contract since 2007. That contract permitted yearly hauling increases and by 2012 the city was charged $11.18 per household per month. In 2007 the city collected $6.00 per month from users and then raised the rate to the current $7.00 per month. The difference between these two monthly rates has been paid by garbage sticker sales and property taxes.
But the City doesn't get all of the user fees it should. The garbage fee is billed as part of the monthly water bill. Because the city fails to collect many thousands of dollars in water bills each year, there is a bigger than normal shortfall in garbage fees. That gap has to be covered by property taxes.
Even worse than not receiving fees for services used, the city has been overpaying Moring. The 2007 contract states the Clerk is supposed to call Moring by the 10th of the month with an actual count of households so the Moring invoice is accurate. That has not been the case. Instead the Clerk has paid each month using 760, the estimate used in the request for proposal in 2007. The actual number of households is a lot lower, so Moring has been overpaid each month for the past five years. City financial reports show the overpayment in December 2012 was $726.70. (695 users versus 760) This amount may understate the overpayment amount because of uncollected water bills.
In the Finance Committee meeting discussion on January 8th, the Clerk stated that '…Moring would never take it [being paid by the accurate count]…' and that '…she's been doing this for ten years.' If true, that means that the city has wasted many thousands of tax dollars. Based on the December 2012 overpayment of $726, the city paid an extra $8720 last year.
The new five year contract with Moring starts at $10.60 for three years. In years four and five the rate rises by no more than three percent, or $10.92 in year four and $11.24 in year five. The estimated household count dropped to 730 but this is still higher than the actual count. Even the Clerk admitted the figure is closer to 700. Non-paying users makes it even lower. Two months into the new contract, Moring is being paid for 730 users. The bottom line is that Mount Carroll is still under collecting and overpaying.
Our city has so many other needs for those tax dollars, it is a shame that our money is being needlessly wasted. All documents are available to the public at City Hall. It's worth noting that the City of Savanna just signed a four year contract with Moring at $9.15 per month per user.
Sincerely, Nina Cooper Mount Carroll
TIME magazine ran a spectacular article by Steven Brill titled: WHY MEDICAL BILLS ARE KILLING US in its March 4, 2013 edition. In fact, that was the only article in the magazine. It is an excellent piece of research journalism as well as a service to the nation. If you haven't read it, do yourself a favor and read it. It deals with real pocket book issues and real people, one of which just might be you. It also provides us with the facts that ruin Republican arguments in Congress about "entitlements" and getting the deficit under control, especially by controlling government spending.
Did you realize that it cost Medicare only 84 cents to process a hospital bill and it cost them $3.80 in administrative expense per claim whereas Aetna Insurance will spend on average $30.00 per claim for administrative expense? So how can Republican budget guru Paul Ryan look at us with a straight face and say privatizing Medicare is the way to save it? Does he think we are a bunch of idiots! Private, for profit insurance companies can get discounts from 30% to maybe 50% which we can't get by ourselves; but Medicare pays the average cost (cost not charge) plus 6%. So who is getting the better deal? You guessed it, Medicare. There is absolutely no way privatizing Medicare will save Medicare or the government money. So what is Congressman Ryan smoking?
According to Brill's article, "We spend two or three times . . . on durable medical devices like canes and wheelchairs (than other industrialized countries) in part because a heavily lobbied Congress forces Medicare to pay 25% to 75% more than it would cost at Walmart." This is a crime; it is legalized theft. It is a Congressionally sanctioned theft of the taxpayer's money. The questions is WHY?
Would it have anything to do with our members in Congress being bought off? Brill points out that "According to the Center for Responsible Politics, the pharmaceutical and health care product industries, combined with organizations representing doctors, hospitals, nursing homes, health services and HMOs have spent $5.36 billion since 1998 on lobbying Washington." He compares that with the defense and aerospace's $1.53 billion and Big Oil's $1.3 billion spending to influence legislation. Is it any wonder that our deficit is enormous and that the cost of an election campaign leaves the vast majority of people unable to seek office. Who is there to lobby for us? Yet we are the ones who vote these people into office. We should hold ourselves accountable and if they don't start representing our best interest, vote them out of office. The money from these industries can buy them a lot of t. v. time and newspaper ads and slick PR advisors; but that doesn't mean we have to listen to them.
In his article, Steven Brill gives many examples of inflated hospital charges. The CBC (complete blood count) that a hospital charged $157.00 but cost only $10.58 and was reimbursed by Medicare cost plus 6% or in this case about $11.20 is but one of many examples. Outrageous pricing is normal in health care, such as $24.00 for a five cent niacin tablet and $1.50 for one acetaminophen when you can buy a bottle of 100 325 mg acetaminophen through Amazon for $1.49.
Brill offers some excellent ideas for reducing government spending on health care and at the same time improving health care. Easy to do, repeal that portion of the law that keeps Medicare from negotiating the price of prescription drugs and medical equipment. This alone would save billions. Another easy step, tax so called non-profit health care providers at a rate of 90% of revenue that exceeds actual cost. Brill suggest taxing them only 75% but I'm not so generous. Also, limit health care executives compensation packages to not exceed ten times the average nurses salary. Actually, this would be a good idea for all tax exempt non-profits. Finally, end conflicts of interest in the health care industry.
I'll make you a bet, if we can find a Democrat to introduce legislation to correct the abuse in the health care industry, that alone is a big if, the Republicans will block passage of such legislation. Indeed, it is unlikely to even come to a vote. However, don't buy their crap that they have to cut "entitlements." The truth is, they don't. They just have to start turning down the campaign money offered by the health care rip off artists.
I've always bitten my lip, but enough is enough. "Their basic view is nothing is important enough to raise taxes on rich individuals or corporations and that's what binds them together." That comment was made by someone who sees himself as "the great unifier". You got it - President Barack Obama. He made it on the Al Sharpton Radio Show as a call in on February 21, 2013, referring to republicans.
No, I don't listen to the Al Sharpton Show but the comment made the circuit immediately. Yes, I am among the many who are totally repulsed by it.
I know the President personally having worked with him when he was an Illinois State Senator. No, I'm not on his speed dial and I doubt he remembers me. What I remember about him was his 129 "present votes" which his friends in the media assured the nation that, "Oh, that's what they do in Illinois". Are you kidding me? In ten plus years I don't have five present votes.
My good friend, and your State Treasurer, Dan Rutherford refers to the present button on our voting panel as the "chicken" button. Let's see - I don't want to anger those in favor of the bill and I don't want to anger those opposed, I'll just vote present. I think Dan sums it up quite well.
The point is if you are the Chief Executive of this great nation, wouldn't you want to be working on bringing us all together not taking cheap shots while stepping off the golf course with Tiger Woods to make your phone in campaign speech?
All of this was just two days after he spent twelve minutes slamming the opposition on how horrific, no - apocalyptic, the sequester would be if "they" allowed it to happen. Oh, it was scary. Meat would not be inspected, air traffic would be in shambles, border agents would not be able to do their jobs. My God, the world would be on the verge of collapse - all of this from a President who has increased the national debt by over 6 trillion dollars since his first election in 2008. That is a full one third of our national debt. It can't adequately sink in because none of us can get our arms around such an unbelievable financial number.
Former Mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani put it best by stating he (Barack Obama) is fiscally the least disciplined president in history.
Well, sequester has kicked in. WOW, finally some restraint in spending. The experts tell us what it means is a cut of 2.4%. I think most of us could get by on about 97-1/2 cents compared to $1.00 if that will help steer us to financial soundness. The stock market has shot into record territory. Coincidence? Perhaps! There is an old military saying that has never left me, "Either lead, follow, or get out of the way". We have you for four more years Mr. President. We prefer that you lead.

VIDEO recovery
Finally ready to recover my internal harddrive, I used stellar phoenix and got TONS of pictures, some came through in good quality, some not.
NO videos were recovered through the process. After hours of work and finally accessing the internal and recovering THE ONLY THING I WANTED WAS MY VIDEOS.
Can anyone at least explain why the videos are not being recovered? They were most definitely stored on the internal.
ps. almost looks like the videos were screenshot-ed and turned into jpegs? Doesn't make sense to me, but I have pictures of things I believe I only had videos of... - 01-16-2013, 07:09 PM #2

Twitter too big for you? Try one-word-wonder Adocu
Twitter clones have been aplenty since the service launched in mid-2006. Many have come out offering more, foregoing some of the simplicity that made Twitter popular to begin with (see Poodz and Pownce). However, one that's just cropped up, called Adocu, is almost a joke, ditching the 160-character cap and only limiting messages to whatever you can fit inside of one (sometimes giant) word.
Users are encouraged to string multiple words together. You can fit nearly whatever you want as long as there are no spaces. OK, however, are dashes, apostrophes, commas, and periods--meaning you can add some order … Read more

Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Road Wheel - Tubular $1,314.95
When nothing but fast will do.
You might need a microscope to understand the intricacies of the 404 Firecrest Tubular, but you certainly don't need one to grasp the magnitude of its records. From L'Alp d'Huez to Kona, it's nearly impossible to find another wheel with such a storied career. However, the best just got better with the 404's adaptation of Zipp's new 188/V9 rear hub. The future is here.
The 404 is one Zipp's most ambitious rim shapes. It maintains a rim depth of 58.0mm and a maximum width of 26.53mm in the front and 27.07mm in the rear. The Zipp 88/188 hubs' bearing stance has been widened by 7.5mm, and the rim's body shape has been canted out by two percent. Zipp found that the design creates a more stable structure, and offers greater vertical and lateral compliance with increased control, comfort, and rigidity. While the 404 benefits from these welcomed additions, to achieve the Zipp-standard of strength and rigidity, the 404 utilizes unidirectional fibers to handle the tensile and comprehensive loading within the rim, and woven fibers in the spoke-hole areas. A woven silica-ceramic fabric and a woven carbon fabric encapsulate the braking and tire-mounting surfaces. The combination of fiber patterns creates a high stiffness-to-weight ratio without stacking up the grams.
A number of Zipp technologies went into making the 404 Firecrest one of the most versatile wheels in the Zipp arsenal. First, the Multi-Material Co-Molding process permanently fuses a sub-200-gram aluminum hoop to a dimpled carbon structure that acts as a leaf spring for road vibration and impact. Spokes laced directly to the carbon body give you the benefit of a carbon feel and aluminum braking. Next, visco-elastic material is inserted between carbon laminate in the rim to reduce road vibration by ten percent. Lastly, the dimples of the Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control (ABLC) on the curved rim section work to create a slight turbulence directly above the rim surface. This creates an artificial boundary layer that forces the laminar boundary layer towards the forward part of the rim to become turbulent. This process enables airflow to remain attached over more of the rim for a longer period of time, providing a lower level of integrated drag. The drag that ABLC creates is called skin friction drag; although it's greatly increased, pressure drag (which is ten times higher than skin friction) is decreased to make the 404 wheels faster than the competition in a wide range of conditions, not just the wind tunnel. While most wheels only enjoy minimum drag at rarely occurring yaw angles of five and ten degrees, the 404 experiences it at the real-world conditions of 10 to 20 degrees.
For the build, Zipp used its proprietary 88 hub on the front and the new 188/V9 on the rear. This new hub has larger precision Swiss steel bearings for increased durability, and it provides an increase in lateral stiffness over its predecessor. According to Zipp, this new bearing/cartridge system also delivers a 25% increase in torsional stiffness compared to the leading competitive hubs currently available. The wheels still receive an 18/24 Sapim X-Ray spoke configuration, but on the rear wheel Zipp moved from a radial non-drive side and two-cross lacing drive side pattern to its new "virtual three cross" lacing configuration on both sides. Zipp uses the word "virtual" here to describe the manner in which one spoke doesn't actually contact the other two spokes it crosses. The result is a stiffer overall construction that more effectively transfers power directly to the rear wheel, which is crucial for those out-of-the-saddle sprints and climbs.
The Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Tubular Road Wheel is available in the color Black with either Black or White labels. Every wheel is hand-built in the USA, and the rear wheel is available in two freehub configurations to fit either Campagnolo or Shimano/SRAM 11-speed cassettes. Please note that Zipp's maximum recommended rider weight is 250lbs.

I have used Cabochard for over 30 years, I love it and have not found another perfume that suits me so well, it doesn't change when you've had it on for a long time. People constantly tell me how great it smells and ask what I'm wearing. Male friends have often bought it for their women, because they liked it on me. Unfortunately its impossible to purchase it in Sydney now. I love its spicyness and unique aroma which instantly brings back lots of memories. There's nothing I don't like about it, it suits every occasion.

I had heard about it and a sales lady tried to sell it to me with the words, "you will charm your social circle". So I ordered the body cream on line.
I don't like it because of the musky aroma and mainly I detect tobacco.
I tried to improve the situation by spraying a flowery perfume over the musky body cream. That was not a success because the flowery perfume won out and would have been much better on its own to begin with.
As soon as somebody of my friends wants Cabochard, I will give it away.

I have worn this perfume since I was 20! I am now 67 and it still is amazing. My students still remember my perfume and they continue to love it and me! What more could a person ask. My Mother always said you can get through anything if you smell great. I watch how many bottles I use during the year and I can tell if it has been a needy year or an easy year! I am searching for the bath oil. It has been off the market for about 13 years. If anyone has a stash let me know! I NEED it! Thanks for your great service. It is a joy to be able to press a button and have this perfume delivered! Keep up the good work!!!

The Assyrian Church of the East (Classical Syriac: ܥܕܬܐ ܕܡܕܢܚܐ ܕܐܬܘܪܝܐ), officially the Holy Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of the East[5] Classical Syriac: ܥܕܬܐ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܘܫܠܝܚܝܬܐ ܩܬܘܠܝܩܝ ܕܡܕܢܚܐ ܕܐܬܘܪܝܐ ʻIttā Qaddishtā w-Shlikhāitā Qattoliqi d-Madnĕkhā d-Āturāyē), is a Syriac Church historically centered in Assyria/Assuristan, northern Mesopotamia. It is one of the churches that claim continuity with the historical Patriarchate of Seleucia-Ctesiphon – the Church of the East. Unlike most other churches that trace their origins to antiquity, the modern Assyrian Church of the East is not in communion with any other churches, either Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, or Catholic.
Theologically, the church is associated with the doctrine of Nestorianism, leading to the church also being known as a "Nestorian Church", though church leadership has at times rejected the Nestorian label. The church employs the Syriac dialect of the Aramaic language in its liturgy, the East Syrian Rite, which includes three anaphoras, attributed to Saints Addai and Mari, Theodore of Mopsuestia and Nestorius.[6]
The Church of the East developed from the early Assyrian Christian communities in the Assuristan province (Parthian ruled Assyria) of the Parthian Empire, and at its height had spread from its Mesopotamian heartland to as far as China, Central Asia and India. A dispute over patriarchal succession led to the Schism of 1552, resulting in there being two rival Patriarchs. One of the factions that eventually emerged from this split became the modern Assyrian Church of the East, in continuation from the Church of the East, while another became the church now known as the Chaldean Catholic Church, originally called The Church of Athura (Assyria) and Mosul, which eventually entered into communion with the Catholic Church.
A more recent schism in the church resulted from the adoption of the Assyrian Church of the East of the Gregorian Calendar rather than maintaining the traditional Julian calendar that is off by 13 days. The opponents to the reforms introduced formed in 1964 the Ancient Church of the East headquartered in Baghdad and headed since 1968 by a separate Catholicos-Patriarch.
The Assyrian Church of the East is headed by the Catholicos-Patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East, Mar Dinkha IV, who currently presides in exile in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Below the Catholicos-Patriarch are a number of metropolitan bishops, diocesan bishops, priests, and deacons who serve dioceses and parishes throughout the Middle East, India, North America, Oceania, and Europe (including the Caucasus and Russia)

Early years of the Church of the East[edit]
The Church of the East originally developed during the 1st century AD in the Mesopotamian Eastern Aramaic speaking regions of Assyria, Babylonia, and northwestern Persia (today's Iraq, southeast Turkey, northeast Syria and north western Iran), to the east of the Roman-Byzantine empire. It is an Apostolic church, established by the apostles St Thomas (Mar Toma), St Thaddeus (Mar Addai), and St Bartholomew (Mar Bar Tulmay). St Peter (Mar Shimun Keapa), the chief of the apostles added his blessing to the Church of the East at the time of his visit to the see at Babylon, in the earliest days of the church when stating, "The elect church which is in Babylon, salutes you; and Mark, my son (1 Peter 5:13).[7]
Official recognition was first granted to the Christian faith in the 4th century with the accession of Yazdegerd I to the throne of the Sassanid Empire. In 410, the Synod of Seleucia-Ctesiphon, held at the Sassanid capital, allowed the Church's leading bishops to elect a formal Catholicos, or leader. The Catholicos, Mar Isaac, was required both to lead the Christian community, and to answer on its behalf to the Sassanid Emperor.[8][9]
Under pressure from the Sassanid Emperor, the Church of the East sought increasingly to distance itself from the western (Roman Empire) Catholic Church. In 424, the bishops of the Sassanid Empire met in council under the leadership of Catholicos Mar Dadisho I (421–456) and determined that they would not, henceforth, refer disciplinary or theological problems to any external power, and especially not to any bishop or Church Council in the Roman Empire.[10]
As such, the Mesopotamian and Persian Churches were not represented at the various Church Councils attended by representatives of the Western Church. Accordingly, the leaders of the Church of the East did not feel bound by any decisions of what came to be regarded as Roman Imperial Councils. Despite this, the Creed and Canons of the first Council of Nicea (325); affirming the full divinity of Christ; were formally accepted at the Synod of Seleucia-Ctesiphon.[11] The Church's understanding of the term 'hypostasis' differs from the definition of the term offered at the Council of Chalcedon. For this reason, the Assyrian Church has never approved the Chalcedonian definition.[11]
The theological controversy that followed the First Council of Ephesus, in 431, proved a turning point in the Church's history. The Council condemned as heretical the Christology of Nestorius, whose reluctance to accord the Virgin Mary the title 'Theotokos' ('God-bearer' or 'Mother of God') was taken as evidence that he believed two separate persons (as opposed to two united natures) to be present within Christ. (For the theological issues at stake, see Assyrian Church of the East and Nestorianism.)
The Sassanid Emperor, hostile to the Roman Empire, saw the opportunity to ensure the loyalty of his Christian subjects and lent support to the Nestorian schism. The Sassanid Emperor took steps to cement the primacy of the Nestorian party within the Church of the East, granting its members his protection,[12] and executing the pro-Roman Catholicos Babowai, replacing him with the Nestorian Bishop of Nisibis, Barsauma. The Catholicos-Patriarch Mar Babai I (497–503) confirmed the association of the Persian Church with Nestorianism.
Eastern expansion[edit]
During the medieval period the geographical horizons of the Church of the East extended well beyond its heartland in present-day Iraq. Nestorian communities sprang up throughout Central Asia, and missionaries took the Christian faith as far as China and the Malabar Coast of India.[13]
Schism and the establishment of the Chaldean Church[edit]
The massacres of Christians by Tamerlane (1336–1405) destroyed many bishoprics, including the ancient Assyrian city of Ashur. The Church of the East, which had previously extended as far as China, was largely reduced to an Eastern Aramaic speaking Assyrian remnant living in its original heartland in Upper Mesopotamia (what had been Assyria), the triangular area[14] between Amid, Salmas and Mosul. The See was moved to the Assyrian town of Alqosh, in the Mosul region, and Mar Shimun IV Basidi (1437–1493) appointed Patriarch, establishing a new, hereditary, line of succession.[15]
Growing dissent in the church's hierarchy over hereditary succession came to a head in 1552, when a group of bishops from the Northern regions of Amid and Salmas elected Mar Yohannan Sulaqa as a rival Patriarch. Seeking consecration as Patriarch by a Bishop of Metropolitan rank, Sulaqa traveled to Rome in 1553, and entered into communion with the Roman Catholic Church. On being appointed Patriarch, Sulaqa took the name Mar Shimun VIII and was granted the title of "Patriarch of Mosul and Athur (Assyria)". Later this title became "Patriarch of the Chaldeans".[16]
Mar Shimun VIII Yohannan Sulaqa returned to the Near East the same year, establishing his seat in Amid. Before being put to death by partisans of the Patriarch of Alqosh [12], he ordained five metropolitan bishops, thus establishing a new ecclesiastical hierarchy, a line of patriarchal descent known as the Shimun line.
Sees in Qochanis, Amid, and Alqosh (17th century)[edit]
Relations with Rome weakened under Shimun VIII's successors, all of whom took the name Shimun. The last of this line of Patriarchs to be formally recognized by the Pope died in the early 17th century. Hereditary accession to the office of Patriarch was reintroduced, and by 1660 the Church of the East had become divided into two Patriarchates; the Eliya line, based in Alqosh (comprising that portion of the faithful which had not entered into Communion with Rome), and the Shimun line.
In 1672[15] the Patriarch of the Shimun line, Mar Shimun XIII Denha, moved his seat to the Assyrian village of Qochanis in the mountains of Hakkari. In 1692, the Patriarch formally broke communion with Rome and allegedly resumed relations with the line at Alqosh,[citation needed] though retaining the independent structure and jurisdiction of his line of succession.
The Chaldean Patriarchate was revived in 1672 when Mar Joseph I, then metropolitan of Amid, entered into communion with Rome, thus separating from the Patriarchal See of Alqosh. In 1681, the Holy See granted Mar Joseph the title of "Patriarch of the Chaldeans deprived of its Patriarch", thus forming the third Patriarchate of the Church of the East. It was this third Patriarchate that was to become known as the Chaldean Catholic Church.
Josephite line of Amid[edit]
Each of Joseph I's successors took the name Joseph. The life of this Patriarchate was difficult; stricken early on with internal dissent, the Patriarchiate later struggled with financial difficulties due to the tax burden imposed by the Turkish Ottoman Empire. Despite these difficulties, the influence of the Patriarchate expanded from its original base of Amid and Mardin towards the area of Mosul, where ultimately the See was relocated.
Mar Yohannan VIII Hormizd, the last of the Eliya hereditary line in Alqosh, made a Catholic profession of faith in 1780. Though entering full communion with the Roman See in 1804, he was not recognized as Patriarch by the Pope until 1830. This move merged the majority of the Patriarcate of Alqosh with the Josephite line of Amid, thus forming the modern Chaldean Catholic Church.
The Shimun line of Patriarchs, based in Qochanis, remained independent of the Chaldean Church. The Patriarchate of the present-day Assyrian Church of the East, with its see in Chicago, forms the continuation of this line.[17]
20th century[edit]
In 1915 the Assyrian Church see at Qochanis see was completely destroyed by the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the context of the Assyrian Genocide, Assyrian war of independence and Armenian Genocide. Survivors of the massacres escaped by marching over the mountains into Iran and Iraq. In 1918, after the murder of Mar Shimun XXI Benyamin and 150 of his followers, and fearing further massacres at the hands of the Turks and Kurds, the survivors fled from Iran into what was to become Iraq, seeking protection under the British mandate there, and joining ancient indigenous existing Assyrian communities in the north of that country.[18]
The British administration employed Assyrian troops (Assyrian Levies) to put down Arab and Kurdish rebellions in the aftermath of World War I. In consequence, Assyrians endured persecution under the Hashemite monarchy, leading many to flee to the West, in particular to the United States, where Chicago became the center of the diaspora community.
- Patriarch Mar Eshai Shimun XXIII
During this period the British-educated Patriarch Mar Eshai Shimun XXIII, born into the line of Patriarchs at Qochanis, agitated for an independent Assyrian state. Following the end of the British mandate in 1933[18] and a massacre of Assyrian civilians at Simele by the Iraqi Army, the Patriarch was forced to take refuge in Cyprus.[19] There, Shimun petitioned the League of Nations regarding his peoples' fate, but to little avail, and he was consequently barred from entering Syria and Iraq. He traveled through Europe before moving to Chicago in 1940 to join the growing Assyrian diaspora community there.[19]
The Church and the Assyrian community in general faced considerable fragmentation and upheaval as a result of the conflicts of the 20th century, and Patriarch Shimun XXIII Eshai was forced to reorganize the church's structure in the United States. He transferred his residence to San Francisco, California in 1954, and was able to travel to Iran, Lebanon, Kuwait, and India, where he worked to strengthen the church.[20]
In 1964 he decreed a number of changes to the church, including liturgical reform, the adoption of the Gregorian calendar, and the shortening of Lent. These changes, combined with Shimun's long absence from Iraq, caused a rift in the community which led to another schism. In 1968 traditionalists within the church elected Mar Thoma Darmo as a rival patriarch to Shimun XXIII Eshai, creating the Ancient Church of the East.[21]
In 1972, Shimun decided to step down as Patriarch, and the following year, he married, in contravention to longstanding church custom. This led to a synod in 1973 in which further reforms were introduced, most significantly including the permanent abolition of hereditary succession a practice introduced in the middle of the fifteenth century by the patriarch Shemʿon IV Basidi who had died in 1497); however, it was decided that Shimun should be reinstated. This matter was to be settled at additional synods in 1975, however Shimun was assassinated by an estranged relative before this could take place.[22]
- Patriarch Mar Dinkha IV
In 1976, the current Patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East, Mar Dinkha IV, was elected as Shimun XXIII Eshai's successor. The 33-year old Dinkha had previously been Metropolitan of Tehran, and operated his see there until the Iran–Iraq War of 1980–1988. Thereafter, Mar Dinkha IV went into exile in the United States, and transferred the patriarchal see to Chicago.[23] Much of his patriarchate has been concerned with tending to the Assyrian diaspora community and with ecumenical efforts to strengthen relations with other churches.[23]
Assyrian Church of the East and Nestorianism[edit]
The Nestorian nature of Assyrian Christianity remains a matter of contention. Elements of the Nestorian doctrine were explicitly repudiated by Patriarch Mar Dinkha IV on the occasion of his accession in 1976.[24]
The Christology of the Church of the East has its roots in the Antiochene theological tradition of the early Church. The founders of Assyrian theology are Diodorus of Tarsus and Theodore of Mopsuestia, both of whom taught at Antioch. 'Antiochene' is a modern designation given to the style of theology associated with the early Church at Antioch, as contrasted with the theology of the church of Alexandria.[25]
Antiochene theology emphasised Christ's humanity and the reality of the moral choices he faced. In order to preserve the impassibility of Christ's Divine Nature, the unity of His person was defined in a looser fashion than in the Alexandrian tradition.[25] The normative Christology of the Assyrian church was written by Babai the Great (551–628) during the controversy that followed the First Council of Ephesus (431). Babai held that within Christ there exist two qnome (essences, or hypostases), unmingled, but everlastingly united in the one parsopa (personality).
The precise Christological teachings of Nestorius are shrouded in obscurity. Wary of monophysitism, Nestorius rejected Cyril's theory of a hypostatic union, proposing instead a union of will. Nestorianism has come to mean dyaphysitism, in which Christ's dual natures are eternally separate, though it is doubtful whether Nestorius ever taught such a doctrine. Nestorius' rejection of the term Theotokos ('God-bearer', or 'Mother of God') has traditionally been held as evidence that he asserted the existence of two persons – not merely two natures – in Jesus Christ, but there exists no evidence that Nestorius denied Christ's oneness.[26] In the controversy that followed the Council of Ephesus, the term 'Nestorian' was applied to all upholding a strictly Antiochene Christology. In consequence the Church of the East was labelled 'Nestorian', though its theology is not dyophysite.
Ecumenical relations[edit]
Pope John XXIII invited many other Christian denominations, including the Assyrian Church of the East, to send "observers" to the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965). These observers, graciously received and seated as honored guests right in front of the podium on the floor of the council chamber, did not formally take part in the Council's debate, but they mingled freely with the Catholic bishops and theologians who constituted the council, and with the other observers as well, in the break area during the council sessions. There, cordial conversations began a rapproachment that has blossomed into expanding relations among the Catholic Church, the Churches of the Orthodox Communion led by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, and the ancient churches of the East.
On November 11, 1994, a historic meeting between Mar Dinkha IV and John Paul II took place in Rome. The two patriarchs signed a document titled "Common Christological Declaration between the Catholic Church and the Assyrian Church of the East". One side effect of this meeting was that the Assyrian Church's relationship to the Chaldean Catholic Church began to improve.[27]
In 1996, Patriarch Mar Dinkha IV signed an agreement of cooperation with the Chaldean Catholic Patriarch of Baghdad, Raphael I Bidawid, in Southfield, Michigan. In 1997, he entered into negotiations with the Syriac Orthodox Church and the two churches ceased anathematizing each other.
The lack of a coherent institution narrative in the Anaphora of Addai and Mari, which dates to apostolic times, has caused many Western Christians, and especially Roman Catholics, to doubt the validity of this anaphora, used extensively by the Assyrian Church of the East, as a prayer of consecration of the eucharistic elements. In 2001, after a study of this issue, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI), as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith promulgated a declaration approved by Pope John Paul II stating that this is a valid anaphora. This declaration opened the door to a joint synodal decree officially implementing the present Guidelines for Admission to the Eucharist between the Chaldean Church and the Assyrian Church of the East which the synods of the Assyrian Church of the East and the Chaldean Catholic Church signed and promulgated on 20 July 2001.
This joint synodal decree provides that (1) Assyrian faithful may participate and receive Holy Communion in a Chaldean celebration of the Holy Eucharist, (2) Chaldean faithful may participate and receive Holy Communion in an Assyrian celebration of the Holy Eucharist, even if celebrated using the Anaphora of Addai and Mari in its original form, and (3) Assyrian clergy are invited (but not obliged) to insert the institution narrative into the Anaphora of Addai and Mari when Chaldean faithful are present. Far from expressing a relationship of full communion between these churches, however, the joint synodal decree actually identifies several issues that require resolution to permit a relationship of full communion.
From a Catholic canonical point of view, provisions of the joint synodal decree are fully consistent with the provisions of canon 671 of the 1991 Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches, which states: "If necessity requires it or genuine spiritual advantage suggests it and provided that the danger of error or indifferentism is avoided, it is permitted for Catholic Christian faithful, for whom it is physically or morally impossible to approach a Catholic minister, to receive the sacraments of penance, the Eucharist and anointing of the sick from non-Catholic ministers, in whose Churches these sacraments are valid. 3. Likewise Catholic ministers licitly administer the Sacraments of Penance, the Eucharist and Anointing of the Sick to Christian faithful of Eastern Churches, who do not have full communion with the Catholic Church, if they ask for them on their own and are properly disposed." Canons 843 and 844 of the Code of Canon Law make similar provisions for the Latin Church. The Assyrian Church of the East follows an Open Communion approach allowing any baptized Christian to receive its Eucharist,[28] so there is also no alteration of Assyrian practice. Nonetheless, from an ecumenical perspective, the joint synodal decree marks a major step toward full mutual collaboration of both churches in the pastoral care of their members.
The Church is governed by an episcopal polity, which is the same as other Catholic churches. The church maintains a system of geographical parishes organized into dioceses and archdioceses. The Catholicos-Patriarch, currently Mar Dinkha IV is head of the church. The Synod comprises Bishops who oversee individual dioceses, and Metropolitans who oversee episcopal dioceses in there territorial jurisdiction.
The Chaldean Syrian Church in India and the Persian Gulf is the largest diocese of the church. Its story goes back to the Persian Church that established presence in Kerala. The converts were from lower, untouchable castes, for in a caste-ridden Malabar society. During times of disturbances in Persia and the Middle East, Persian inflow into Kerala ceased and local converts had to take responsibility for the churches. Nevertheless, Malabar churches retained their Nestorian connections. Connection between the Malabar church and the Persian church was sporadic for a long period till the arrival of the Portuguese. The church is represented by the Assyrian Church of the East and is in communion with it.
- Hierarchy
The current hierarchy and dioceses is as follows. The Patriarchate of the Church of the East was located for centuries in the cathedral church of Mar Shallita, in the village of Qudshanis in the Hakkari mountains, Ottoman Empire. After the exodus in 1915 the Patriarchs temporarily resided between Urmia and Salmas, and from 1918 the patriarchs resided in Mosul, Iraq. After the Simele massacre of 1933, the then Patriarch Shimun XXIII Eshai was exiled to Cyprus. In 1940 he was welcomed to the United States where he set up his residence in Chicago, Illinois and administrated the United States and Canada as his Patriarchal province. The patriarchate was moved to Modesto, California in 1954, and finally to San Francisco, California in 1958 due to health issues. After the assassination of the Patriarch and the election of Mar Dinkha IV in 1976, the patriarchate was temporarily located in Tehran, Iran where the patriarch already resided. Since 1980, the Patriarchate again returned to Chicago, Illinois where it currently remains. The Diocese of Eastern United States served as the patriarch's province from 1994 until 2012.
Due to the unstable political, religious and economic situation in the church's historical homeland of the Middle East, many of the church members now reside in Western countries. Churches and dioceses have been established throughout Europe, America and Oceania. The largest expatriate concentration of church members is in the United States, mainly situated in Illinois and California.

After being in beta for just a couple of months, Adobe has released the retail version of Lightroom 4 for public consumption. The latest milestone of the photography workflow application sports many improvements, but most notably an improved price: $149.99 for the full version, $79.99 for the upgrade version.
One explanation for the price drop may be that Adobe is feeling pressured by Apple's competing product, Aperture 3. The Mac App Store version of Aperture was slashed by 50 percent to just $79.99 in January. At $150 though, Adobe's offering will be more attractive to serious amateurs and those who wish to upgrade from Aperture to Lightroom.
Some of the new features found in Lightroom 4.0 include a photo book creator (a la Aperture), location-based organization which leverages GPS data found in an increasing number of cameras these days, highlight and shadow recovery, soft proofing, improved video editing and RAW image processing.
Adobe claims it has been focused on providing richer RAW support with Lightroom 4.0. Improved RAW handling should help give serious photographers the best possible dynamic ranges between highlights and shadows in their photos.
While working with video footage, Lightroom 4.0 allows users to extract still images, crop and trim video footage and apply visual filters not unlike those included for photo processing. Although video editing has been improved, aspiring videographers will still want to export their video to an external, non-linear video editing application like Final Cut or Premiere.
The Windows version requires a minimum of 2GB of RAM, a Pentium 4 or Athlon 64 and Windows Vista or higher. The Mac version requires 2GB of RAM, any 64-bit Intel CPU and Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer.

Ehm... was there ever a Mac out there with a x86 (32-bit only) Intel's processor? I think they don't have to specify the "64-bit" part.
Sadly, Adobe have adopted a crazy pricing structure for countries outside of the USA. Here in NZ, we are unable to purchase at the price of $149 USD (approx $185 NZD). Instead the Adobe website directs us to an Australia check out with a price of $212 AUD. $212 AUD works out to be approx $275 NZD.
A lot of Photographers in New Zealandare upset with this blantant price difference, we have downloaded the trial and simply want to pay the price everyone else is paying for an activation code. We have posted messages on the Adobe NZ Facebook page and we all got this generic reply:
"Hi, thanks for your comment. Adobe delivers mission-critical software to creative professionals. Our pricing methodology takes into consideration the costs of doing business in different regions and customer research that assesses the value of the product in the local market. Conditions vary between markets and it's difficult to make a straight comparison between countries."
What a load of rubbish! Up your game Adobe, we live in the digital age!

Actually, I know that Intel's "Yonah" was used in some very early Intel Macs.
Yonah is 32-bit only and the only reason I know it was used in some Macs is that I used to work just a couple labs over from where Yonah was being tested/validated under Apple reference boards in 2005. That's the only reason I left that in there.
I don't think it was ever used in Mac laptops (could be wrong), but rather their desktop lines (iMac probably, not sure about the mini). However, I don't think I've ever crossed a Yonah-based Mac in the wild though, so it was probably hardly worth mentioning anyway. I just want to make sure I'm as accurate as possible. :-)
first series of macbook pros had the 32bit cpu's
~$100 in the UK to get the upgrade! Think I'll survive without it for the time being.
Yes $100
In the Uk = £60.57 - just paid for Upgrade download
Seems reasonable to me -- I like the latest version
Why waste money on Lightroom when Raw Therapy is Open Source. Therefore "FREE". IF it is not as good as Lightroom now it will be within the next release or two...meaning later this year.
Google it for your OS (Linux, Windows and Mac) try (and keep using) it for free.
Same price in EEC, NZ, OZ, US even Japan....FREE

This program focuses on the sounds made by some of the animals that live in the ocean.
Come to the Aquarium to introduce your little one to marine life. Another in our series of mommy, me, and fish classes, the Aqua Tots program is created for two- or three-year-olds with an adult. Join us for the entire series of 6 classes!
These classes are designed for you and your child to interact together in a fun and dynamic learning environment. We therefore strongly encourage you to leave children not in this age group at home. These classes do not offer snacks. Admission is included.
Sounds of the Sea: Do you love the calming sound of the waves on the shore? Did you know that there is a commotion of noise just under those waves? During this 1 ½ hour program, you and your two- to three-year-old child will:
- Practice making the sounds that animals make
- Hear the songs of whales, calls of birds, and chatter of fish
- Visit listening stations of various noise makers and instruments
- Take a guided tour of the Southern California gallery
- Touch animals in our private classroom touch pool
- Create a fun, ocean themed craft to take home
- Sing along to a fun ocean sounds song
Then stay after class to revisit your favorite exhibits, admission is included!
