AURORA, Ill. (BP) -- Bishop T.D. Jakes says he has moved away from a "Oneness" view of the Godhead to embrace an orthodox definition of the Trinity -- and that some in the Oneness Pentecostal movement now consider him a heretic.

Jakes -- long a controversial figure among evangelicals because of his past unwillingness to affirm the Trinity -- stated his belief Wednesday (Jan. 25) at the second-annual Elephant Room (theelephantroom.com), an event that brings together Christian figures from different backgrounds for what organizers call "conversations you never thought you'd hear." This year's Elephant Room was held at Harvest Bible Chapel in Illinois and was simulcast to other locations nationwide.
Jakes, founder and senior pastor of The Potter's House in Dallas, was the focus of a motion at Southern Baptist Convention annual meetings in 2009 and 2010 by a messenger who wanted LifeWay Christian Stores to stop selling his books. One was ruled out of order by the SBC president, the other referred to LifeWay for study.
Jakes -- who once made the cover of Time magazine, which asked if he might be the next Billy Graham -- said he was saved in a Oneness Pentecostal church. Oneness Pentecostalism denies the Trinity and claims that instead of God being three persons, He is one person. In Oneness Pentecostalism, there is no distinction between the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. It is also called "modalism," and it is embraced by the United Pentecostal Church International.
'I began to realize that there are some things that could be said about the Father that could not be said about the Son.'
-- T.D. Jakes
"I began to realize that there are some things that could be said about the Father that could not be said about the Son," Jakes said. "There are distinctives between the working of the Holy Spirit and the moving of the Holy Spirit, and the working of the redemptive work of Christ. I'm very comfortable with that." [See the transcript of Jakes' comments at the end of this story.]
The doctrine of the Trinity -- embraced by all three historical branches of Christianity -- holds that God is three persons, each person is distinct, each person is fully God, and that there is one God.
Several key Bible passages, Jakes said, impacted his transition.
'It is encouraging to see T.D. Jakes moving away from the heresy of modalism. However, we should pray for him and exhort him privately and publicly to move into biblical orthodoxy without equivocation.'
-- Malcolm Yarnell
"Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River, for example, coming up out of the water [and] the Holy Spirit descends like a dove, the Father speaks from heaven -- and we see all three of them on one occasion," he said, "or in Genesis [where God said,] 'let us make man in our own likeness' or Elohim -- He is the one God who manifests Himself in a plurality of ways. Or what Jesus says, 'I am with the Father, and the Father is in me.'"
Jakes added: "That began to make me rethink some of my ideas and some of the things that I was taught. I got kind of quiet about it for a while. Because when you are a leader and you are in a position of authority, sometimes you have to back up and ponder for a minute, and really think things through."
James MacDonald of Harvest Bible Chapel and Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle interviewed Jakes.
Not everything Jakes said will make Trinitarians happy. He said he considers both sides of the issue to be Christians, and that his church has affiliations with both camps. He also said "we're all saying the same thing." But under questioning from Driscoll, Jakes again affirmed the Trinity:
Driscoll: "Do you believe this is the perfect, inspired, final authority Word of God?" [Driscoll held up a Bible.]
Jakes: "Absolutely."
Driscoll: "So you believe there's one God, three Persons -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit? You believe Jesus was fully God, fully Man?"
Jakes: "Absolutely."
Driscoll: "You believe He died on the cross in our place for our sins?"
Jakes: "Absolutely."
Driscoll: "You believe He bodily rose from death?"
Jakes: "Absolutely."
Driscoll: "You believe that He is the judge of the living and the dead?"
Jakes: "Yes."
Driscoll: "And you believe that apart from Jesus there is no salvation?"
Jakes: "Absolutely."
Jakes said he prefers the term "manifestations" instead of the term "persons" -- a position he has stated before.
He also said that "many of the circles that I came from would never allow me in their pulpit [now] because they consider me a heretic."
Southern Baptist leaders applauded Jakes' transformation while also saying Jakes isn't fully where he should be on that and other issues.
"It is encouraging to see T.D. Jakes moving away from the heresy of modalism," said Malcolm B. Yarnell III, director of the Center for Theological Research at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. "However, we should pray for him and exhort him privately and publicly to move into biblical orthodoxy without equivocation. Much of what Jakes stated about God the Trinity in this interview was correct. For instance he noted the simultaneous but distinct movements of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the baptism of Jesus. This is very true, though I might have described it differently."
Yarnell said Jakes incorrectly interprets 1 Timothy 3:16, which says "He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory." Jakes uses that verse to argue for his usage of "manifestations," but Yarnell says the passage is speaking only of Jesus -- not the other members of the Godhead.
"The only 'manifestation' to which 1 Timothy 3:16 refers is the incarnation of God in Christ," Yarnell said. "... Jakes simply does not offer a proper exegetical basis for his unique theological term." [Yarnell's complete statement on Jakes' comments follows this story.]
Russell D. Moore, dean of the school of theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., said he takes "Bishop Jakes at his word that he holds to Trinitarianism."
"But there's still some elephants left in the room," Moore said. "First of all, Bishop Jakes isn't a new convert being discipled in the basics of the Christian faith. He is a celebrity mega-church pastor. Moreover, Trinitarianism isn't the 'meat' of some advanced doctrine, but the most foundational doctrine of the Christian faith. A Christian pastor affirming least-common-denominator Christian doctrine should hardly be news, much less an elephant in the room. This can only happen in an American evangelicalism that values success, novelty and celebrity more than church accountability."
Moore added, "There still stands the issue of the prosperity gospel Bishop Jakes preaches. Joyce Meyer and Kenneth Copeland are Trinitatians but their health and wealth gospel is different from the message of Jesus and His apostles."

Following is the transcript of the conversation between T.D. Jakes, Mark Driscoll and James MacDonald on the Trinity, beginning after Jakes was asked about his background:
Jakes: My father was Methodist. My mother was Baptist. My father's family was Methodist as far back as I can remember. I was raised in a Baptist church. But I was raised in church but I really didn't have a real committed experience with Christ until my father died. When my father died, I had a real experience with Christ -- a real conversion in Christ, and I had it in a Oneness church.
Driscoll: By Oneness meaning [what]? -- for those who do not know all the theological terms.
Jakes: Well it would be like, how do I explain it? It was not a UPC [United Pentecostal] church, in spite of the blogs. It was not a UPC church, but somewhat similar.
Driscoll: Jesus only, modalism?
Jakes: "Jesus only -- modalism" which is still a theological term. ... But Christians and Christians [who] believe in Jesus Christ, believe He died and rose from the dead, coming back again -- all the same things that you do. Pentecostal Christians by its virtue. But how they described and explained the Godhead in a traditional oneness sense is very, very different from how traditional Trinitarians describe the Gospel. And I was in that church and raised in that church for a number of years. My problem with it as I began to go on and as God began to develop my ministry, I started preaching from that church and from that pulpit and that sort of thing. But I'm also informed by the infiltration from my Baptist experience and my Methodist experience, so I ended up Metha-Bapti-Costal in a way. So I'm kind of like a mixed breed sitting up here, OK? And what I began to find out [is that] it is easy to throw rocks at people that you don't know, but the more you really get to know them and see Christ work in their lives, regardless of their belief system, you begin to try to be a bridge-builder. ... When you try to build bridges between people who've been fighting for hundreds of years -- hundreds of years before you ever even got into the discussion. There is an old adage that says 'he who stands in the middle of the road gets hit by both sides.' So as I began to progress, I began to understand that some of the dogma that I was taught in the Oneness movement was very dogmatic and very narrow and really not the best description of how I now understand the Godhead. I still did not want to switch teams and start throwing rocks back across the street, because much of what we do today is teach people to take sides. But I believe we are called as the Body of Christ to reconcile wherever possible.
MacDonald: Alright, but before we even get into -- and I think what you're leading us into is wise and helpful and it reflects why we're here -- how we relate to people who differ is on subject. Before we even go to that, I'd love to give you an opportunity to just -- like there were some particular Scriptures that began to inform you, you began to move and develop in what you personally believe. I'd like to just hear you articulate that.
Jakes: My struggle after I was ordained and consecrated in the Oneness church was in several passages, sometimes the doctrine fits; sometimes it doesn't. And when the doctrine becomes the primary thing you force it into many places where it doesn't fit. I really at this point in my life don't want to force my theology to fit within my denomination. I am open to hear whatever God is saying. Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River, for example, coming up out of the water the Holy Spirit descends like a dove, the Father speaks from heaven -- and we see all three of them on one occasion, or in Genesis "let us make man in our own likeness" or Elohim -- He is the one God who manifest Himself in a plurality of ways. Or what Jesus says, "I am with the Father, and the Father is in me" and understanding -- or attempting to understand. And that began to make me rethink some of my ideas and some of the things that I was taught. I got kind of quiet about it for a while. Because when you are a leader and you are in a position of authority, sometimes you have to back up and ponder for a minute, and really think things through. I began to realize that there are some things that could be said about the Father that could not be said about the Son. There are distinctives between the working of the Holy Spirit and the moving of the Holy Spirit, and the working of the redemptive work of Christ. I'm very comfortable with that. You and I have talked; [Jack] Graham and I have talked; there is very little difference in what I believe and what you believe. But here is where I find the problem: I don't think anything that any of us believes fully describes who God is. And if we would ever humble down to admit that we in our finite minds cannot fully describe an infinite God.
Driscoll: ... We all would agree in the nature of God there is mystery, and it's like a dimmer switch: how much certainty, how much mystery. But within that, Bishop Jakes, for you the issue between Trinitarianism and Modalism at its essence is one God manifesting Himself successively in three ways? Or one God three persons simultaneously existing eternally. ... And I understand, there is some mystery -- for sure. Would you say it's One God manifesting Himself in three ways, or One God in three persons?
Jakes: I believe that neither one of them totally did it for me, but I think the latter one is where I stand today.
Driscoll: One God, three Persons?
Jakes: One God, three Persons. One God, Three Persons, and here is why -- I am not crazy about the word "persons." ... My doctrinal statement is no different from yours except for the ...
Driscoll: The word "manifestation."
Jakes: Manifest instead of persons. Which you describe as modalist, and I describe it as Pauline. Let me show you what I'm saying. When I read 1 Timothy 3:16, I didn't create this. ... "And without controversy," which I think we have been bickering about something that is what Paul describes as a mystery, and I don't think we should do that. "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness. So God was manifest in the flesh." Now Paul was not a modalist, but he does not think that it is robbery to the divinity of God to say God was manifest in the flesh. And I think maybe it's semantics. But Paul says this before this fight was started. But He also says God "was manifest in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of angels, preached until the Gentiles, believed on in the world, and received up into glory." Now, when we start talking about that sort of thing, I think that it is important that we realize that there are distinctives between the Father and the working of the Son. The Father didn't bleed, the Father didn't die -- [that happened] only in the person of Jesus Christ. Coming back for us in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ has with us, but only indwells us through the person of the Holy Spirit; we are baptized into the body of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. I don't think any of that is objectionable to any of the three of us.
MacDonald: Not at all.
Jakes: So that is consistent with my belief system. I'm with you. I have been with you. I teach/preach that all the time. There are many people within and outside quote unquote denominations that are labeled Oneness that would describe that the same way. There are some that would not. But when we get to know people by their labels, then comes all the baggage of how we define that label. ... it's almost like the stereotypical ideologies we have about races. We have little ideas about denominations and movements. The reason I applauded what you said earlier about people who have dual affiliations: We are taught in society that if we disagree with any movement, we leave. We sever. Oh, you said something I disagree with we fall out and then we walk away. I still have fellowship, associations, relationship, and positions within and without Trinitarian and Onenness movements, because I believe that until we bridge the gap between our thinking and humble both sides and say, "We are both attempting to describe a God we love, that we serve, and that we have not seen. And that we are viewing Him through the context of the Scriptures, but that with a glass darkly." Why should I fall out and hate and throw names at you when all that I know and understand, be it very orthodox, is still through a glass darkly? And then face to face. None of our books about the Godhead or anything else will be on sale in heaven. You know why? Because we're only authorities down here, with our little kingdoms in this world. I think it's so important that we realize that our God is beyond our intellect. And if you can define Him and completely describe Him and say you are the end-all definition of who God is, then He ceases to be God. Because the reason Paul says it is a mystery, is that we deify the fact that God does things that don't fit our formulas.
Driscoll: Let me jump in here. I want to say a couple of things. Thank you for joining us. You don't have to be there. You were on the cover of Time magazine. You have options of where you go.
MacDonald: This isn't your biggest gig ever? [laughter]
Driscoll: It takes a lot of courage and humility to put yourself in an unscripted situation and to be outside of your normal tribe. And the fact that you showed up to dinner last night, I was shocked. I was like, "T.D. Jakes is coming to dinner?" I loved you. I enjoyed you. I really appreciated hearing your story of your family in context and your upbringing. And I walked away going, "I really appreciate getting to meet and know and enjoy that man. So thank-you for being gracious; thank-you for being courageous; and thank-you for being humble. And I think it might be helpful because, You're coming out of a Oneness background and out of a different context than a lot of us are. You've demonstrated humility, saying "I've been studying the Bible and I'm even changing some thinking as I'm studying." A lot of pastors will just defend their first position to death rather than humbly reconsidering it biblically. Maybe to help others understand you, on the flip side, How have you been treated and what has the response been from some who were friends that you don't want to throw rocks at, but because of your transition.
Jakes: That's what's funny about this, that's what's really funny to me.
Driscoll: Are you the heretic to them?
Jakes: Oh, very much so in many circles.
Jakes: ... Many of the circles that I came from would never allow me in their pulpit because they consider me a heretic. I have to read the article to see which heretic I am.
MacDonald: We'd be honored if you'd come be with us and let's all grow together.
Jakes: OK, and that'd be great. But I think the time has come for us to be willing to take the heat to have a conversation. Because if we do not do this, and we continue to divide ourselves by ourselves and compare ourselves with ourselves, we do it at the expense of decreasing numbers of new Christians in our country. We have to mobilize. Just for your consideration: This is the only thing that Jesus prayed that we can answer. He only prayed, "Father, I pray that they may be one even as You and I are also one." And this is the one thing that is within our power to answer, and we do not do it.
Driscoll: Can I ask a couple of quick questions, and then we can do whatever you want. Do you believe this is the perfect, inspired, final authority Word of God? [Driscoll holds up a Bible]
Jakes: Absolutely.
Driscoll: So you believe there's one God, Three Persons -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit? You believe Jesus was fully God, fully Man?
Jakes: Absolutely.
Driscoll: You believe He died on the cross in our place for our sins?
Jakes: Absolutely.
Driscoll: You believe He bodily rose from death?
Jakes: Absolutely.
Driscoll: You believe that He is the judge of the living and the dead?
Jakes: Yes.
Driscoll: And you believe that Apart from Jesus there is no salvation?
Jakes: Absolutely.
Driscoll: Thank-you. [applause]
MacDonald: That was crazy! I've just want to say this: I am so weary of people thinking they know -- they don't know I think you honor us and you humble us, a man of your stature and commitment to the Gospel and fruitfulness would come and sit in this room, let you and me ask him what he believes? ... I just want to say this, I think you've honored us, and you've shown immense humility, and I want to be in the world where I believe that Jesus Christ stands. And He's told us again and again He stands with the humble. "Get to those people who love my Son, who believe my Word, who express humility." And I'm honored to hear what you said. I want to just say, further, Mark, if I could contribute to this, that I feel deeply in my heart that God is both three and one. Three and one. I believe the Scripture is very clear when we get to heaven, we are going to see Jesus -- the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declare. Jesus is the only God we will ever see. When I was studying Revelation last year I was struck by the number of times that I saw in the book of Revelation that it almost seems in the text like the Father and the Son are on the same throne, and when I start to think about this, I believe in God eternally existing in three persons. But, the more I think about it, the more I feel like my head is going to explode, and I get a little weary of people who feel that they need to erase mystery and replace it with certainty as a test of orthodoxy. If what we have heard today doesn't satisfy, then the person is insatiable, and I'm ready to move on to a new subject. I believe that very strongly.
Jakes: Let me just make one little comment: One of the things that you said at the end, even as we talked about it before, and I've heard Jack Graham say this, too, that there is going to be one throne and there's going to be one God we can see. And I thought the more I hear everybody arguing about this, we're all saying the same thing. And we like fight about it to the death, and I just think that in the world that we're living in today, if we could just connect, and I know that there will always be distracters and there will always be people who define themselves by their differences rather than their connections, who are more comfortable with being known by what they are against than by what they are for. But when I hear you say that there's going to be one throne and one God on that throne, My soul leaps in celebration, and I hear both of us stumbling trying to explain how God does what He does like He does. I think THAT stumbling is worship. I think THAT stumbling is worship. I think the fact that we would humble ourselves and say, "Your thoughts and ways are beyond human comprehension" is what makes worship fill the room.
Following is Malcolm Yarnell's full statement:
In response to T.D. Jakes' recent statements on the Trinity, we can affirm seven things, though with some cautionary statements included, especially about proper biblical exegesis:
First, the goal of unity in Christ (John 17:21-23) is both laudable and necessary. Yet such unity must be founded on the "truth" (John 17:17) revealed by God in Jesus Christ and recorded in the Word inspired by the Spirit. True unity requires that we confess the true Christ, the second person of the Trinity revealed in Scripture, and not a Christ of our own fashioning.
Second, the call for civility in Christian discourse is also much appreciated. We ought to restrain ourselves from loosely casting around such terms as "heretic" or "heresy." Before using these terms, we should be absolutely sure what the terms mean and that they actually apply.
Third, Jakes is correct that Scripture should shape our theology and not that we should make Scripture fit into our theology. And though I agree with him on this in theory, he has unfortunately misread Scripture to fit his purpose of "building bridges."
Fourth, Jakes is correct that we must know and speak about what we are for rather than what we are against. This is living with our eyes on the positive nature of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Fifth, it is encouraging to see T.D. Jakes moving away from the heresy of modalism. However, we should pray for him and exhort him privately and publicly to move into biblical orthodoxy without equivocation. Much of what Jakes stated about God the Trinity in this interview was correct. For instance he noted the simultaneous but distinct movements of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in the baptism of Jesus. This is very true, though I might have described it differently.
On the other hand, Jakes also speaks errantly. This derives from the fact that he is effectively trying to hold two positions without seeing that his proffered mediating category is ultimately untenable. Jakes stated he wants to have "dual affiliations" with both Oneness and Trinitarian churches. This is the goal behind his equivocation, and he relies on unique terminology to enable his dual theology. Although stating he is willing to use "persons" to describe the Trinity, he is also clear he would prefer not to do so. (There have been orthodox theologians who also registered difficulty with the term "person," but typically they object to modernist meanings attached to the term, meanings different from the classical Christian understanding. Jakes, however, is rejecting the term not because it has been misunderstood but because it is offensive to Oneness Pentecostals, whom he deems Christian.)
T.D. Jakes wants to have both Trinitarians and Oneness Pentecostals, who are Unitarian Modalists, classified as brothers in Christ at the same time. But you cannot affirm both are in the realm of truth without removing the Trinity as a fundamental basis of the Christian faith. You cannot have both beliefs at the same time: either God is both three and one (as Trinitarians believe and Unitarians deny) or God is only one (as Unitarians like Oneness Pentecostals believe and Trinitarians deny). There is no bridging this divide without losing the Trinity itself, for He is the God we worship.
Instead of using the term "persons," Jakes has long confessed he believes the "one God" is "eternally existing in three manifestations: Father, Son and Holy Spirit" (see Potter's House Belief Statement at http://www.thepottershouse.org/Local/About-Us/Belief-Statement.aspx). Jakes then proceeds to use "manifestations" in ways he hopes that both Trinitarians and Unitarians might find acceptable. Jakes, moreover, argues that "manifestations" derives from 1 Timothy 3:16. But he misuses the term's meaning in that passage, wrenching it from its Christological context and transferring it to the Trinity. The only "manifestation" to which 1 Timothy 3:16 refers is the incarnation of God in Christ. God was "manifested" in the flesh of Christ; this Christ was "justified" or "vindicated" by the Spirit through the Resurrection; this Christ was "received up into glory." The manifestation of God was Christ in 1 Timothy 3:16, not the Father and not the Holy Spirit. The Father and the Spirit are indeed at work in this passage but not as "manifestations." Instead, the Father and Spirit work through the Son, who is God manifested in flesh so we can see and hear and touch Him. Jakes simply does not offer a proper exegetical basis for his unique theological term.
Sixth, with regard to the same biblical passage, let us recognize that although there is "mystery" in Scripture, this is no reason to paper over real differences in theology. Where God reveals, there is no more hiddenness in the mystery, for the mystery has now been disclosed, for us in Scripture. The point of 1 Timothy 3:16 is not to say that the Trinity is an undisclosed mystery but that the incarnation, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ is the mystery of God now disclosed. An appeal to a continuing mystery in this passage actually subverts the passage's meaning. Moreover, to claim that Scripture is dark is a repudiation of the Reformation rediscovery of the clarity of Scripture. Scripture is clear and God has sent His Spirit to lead us into all the truth He inspired the apostles and prophets to record therein (John 14:26, 16:12-15).
Seventh and finally, as a fallen human being saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, I concur with Jakes that theology, the human attempt to explain divine revelation, is a "stumbling" matter. I also agree with Jakes' interlocutors that we are all growing in our theology. However, I must disagree with T.D. Jakes when he says, "we're all saying the same thing," because Trinitarians and Unitarians definitely are not saying the same thing. But I hope he keeps reflecting on Scripture, which he has been doing, for it clearly and unequivocally reveals the eternally Triune God, the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, into whose entire name orthodox Christians are baptized.

Early spring is the perfect time for a party. And Cinco de Mayo—the May fifth celebration of Mexico's victory over the French in 1862—is the perfect occasion. Start with decorations. String chili pepper lights around the dining area, arrange small cactus in clay pots, and hang a piñata in the seating area (you'll find them in party stores or online at Amazon.com). Skip the disposable dishes, and invest in an inexpensive set of plates, bowls, and napkins in bright, festive colors; check your local thrift shop or second-hand store for cheap finds. For background music, check iTunes for a variety of mariachi or other selections.
And keep the menu simple. Start with chips, guacamole, salsa and dips, and a selection of easy appetizers such as taquitos and mini-burritos. Or set out a fresh green salad tossed with black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, jicama, and avocado cubes. Follow with easy cheese enchiladas or a build-your-own taco bar. For beverages, serve margaritas, with or without alcohol, and sparkling water laced with mango or pineapple juice. Then finish with ice cream topped with cinnamon-scented chocolate sauce, crunchy cookies, and fresh fruit.
Most important, keep food prep easy, so you can enjoy the celebration. Start with these easy selections:
Spicy Starters
Set out a variety of chips, dips, and salsa in brightly colored bowls. Store-bought dips make entertaining easy; look for guacamole spice blends to speed up prep time. For quick-and-easy appetizers, check out the freezer at your local grocery store for heat-and-eat Mexican tidbits.
Shopping list:
Follow your starters with a fresh green salad scattered with spicy additions. Try cubes of avocado, red and yellow pepper strips, frozen and thawed corn, black beans, diced tomatoes, and chunks of jicama. For dressing, combine high-quality mayonnaise with a few chipotle peppers and apple cider vinegar to taste, and whirl in a blender until smooth. Or look for bottled dressings with a spicy or garlicky kick. Serve with a variety of warm tortillas on the side.
Shopping list:
Build-Your-Own Taco
Make a festive DIY taco bar the center of your Cinco de Mayo celebration. Arrange blue and yellow corn taco shells on a platter, and set out bowls of fillings and toppings: shrimp or ground turkey sautéed with jalapeno peppers and taco seasoning mix, black beans warmed with taco sauce, shredded cheese, chopped lettuce, scallions, avocado cubes, grilled peppers, salsa, and lime wedges. Then invite guests to assemble their own tacos for a festive and filling meal. (Or try our vegan Grilled Portobello Tacos with Salsa Verde recipe below.)
Shopping list:
Easy Enchiladas
Offer this meat-free favorite at your fiesta: dip corn tortillas (microwave them for 30 seconds to soften) in enchilada sauce and roll them around shredded cheese—try a combination of cheddar and Monterey Jack—spread a layer of sauce in a 9x13 pan, arrange tortillas in the pan seam side down, and top with more sauce. Bake 350°F for 15 minutes, or until cheese melts, and serve with chopped cilantro, scallions, sour cream, and chopped tomatoes for topping and black beans and rice on the side.
Shopping list:
Sweet Endings
Finish your meal with a simple dessert that plays on traditional Mexican flavors. Start with ice cream—try dulce de leche, coconut, or coffee—and top it with warm chocolate syrup laced with cinnamon.
Serve with crunchy cookies on the side and slices of fresh mango and papaya.

vacation rental description
We are on upper Park, just above the Egyptian on Main. Historic house with hotub. Thanksgiving is still open. Make me an offer for rental before December 20 and I will most likely accept it!
This is a beautiful, historic home built around the turn of the century and recently updated. The house is small but very comfortable for a family of four to six due to the large living space. The house is very well appointed yet also very livable. You Are An Easy One Block Walk To Main Street Dining, Buses, Action And An Easy Stroll To Quittin' Time Ski Run.
You enter the house from Park Avenue, which is literally down a staircase to upper Main Street (next to Egyptian Theater), through a classic porch with rocking chair. The downstairs living area is all hardwood floor, the living room has a small flat screen TV, DVD machine and DVD library. There is a pullout sofa-bed love seat. It also has a gas stove and nice furniture to relax in. The separate dining room has a large wood table and chairs. The kitchen and bath have been fully remodeled.

Although the medium is not perfect Wingate, this route is worthy- long, varied and pumpy due to the steep lieback at the beginning: crank out the left facing corner and then move left into another left facing corner that is mostly big hands. The anchor is under a shady roof alcove at 120 ft.
The first route right of Way of the Gun at the far right side of the Scarface wall. Shares 30 ft. of climbing off the deck with the next route to the right, The Route of all Evil. There is a plaque.

Family assistance
Thank you for sharing with the community the challenges those of us who have children with special needs endure ("Special needs, but no special help," Nov. 4 front-page article). My wife and I were lucky that 20 years ago we were able to get our son with Down Syndrome in the program referenced. It had a huge positive effect on our family and I cannot want to imagine our life without it.
Through this program we got therapies and assistance which helped our son become as independent as possible. It's sad that so many families have to struggle when these cost-effective programs are available, though limited in their funding.

Quick idea for breakfast: Grab bowl, pour in milk flakes and milk, (add banana if feeling frisky), grab spoon, fill mouth, wipe chin, dump bowl in sink.

CJ explained it more clearly without the bi-polar flavor. =D Although, I have to disagree with Pinterest as "scrap booking on the web." It's really, like CJ said, "visual bookmarks." Instead of folders, you have boards. I'm not only using Pinterest to organize and collect recipes, but I'm using it to get my lessons (links) organized. For example, I'm collecting some links on Fibonacci numbers and the Golden Ratio. I have added some educational links to my "math" board http://pinterest.com/rebeccamom/math/ for easy retrieval.January 8, 2012 at 10:59 a.m.

Since I got my D5000 3 weeks ago I have taken shots of horse trials, a music festival and 2 weeks holiday in Scotland photographing wildlife and scenery. I have taken around 800 shots and am getting familiar with its abilities. I have the 18-55 and the 55-200 lenses, sky filters and a polarizer. I found that out of the box it takes great pictures on auto where it does a lot of your thinking for you, but tweaking the jpeg settings can make your results look even better. The horse trials had me relying on auto everything because of the speed that things occur at these events plus I had only just taken delivery of the camera. The music festival demanded good results from poor light with high shutter speeds so the 3200 ASA setting came into its own. The holiday was where I could take my time though, playing with the camera and learning to use its great set of features including long exposure (e.g. waterfalls and sunsets), fast shutter speeds (wildlife) and aperture priority (scenery, wildlife and flowers). Compared to its main rival, the Canon 500 the lcd monitor on the D5000 lacks resolution and I prefer the way the Canon sits in my hand - the Nikon feels just a little lumpy. However, after that, at this price, I feel that the Nikon begins to leave the Canon behind. Its kit lenses are better built and better performers, its low light performance is excellent and the lcd screen swivels and tilts, (thus making it possible for me to take a picture of a fawn from ground level - I couldn't get that low with a Canon without lying down in the mud). Movies are a little clunky on both but I am happy with the movie quality on the Nikon. I would have liked an external mic input as the inbuilt mic is rubbish, but there isn't a camera at this price with that facility. I have come to like the D5000 more and more as I learn my way around it and I believe it is the best all rounder at this price. The Olympus 640 is good, as is the Panasonic, but neither do movies. The Canon is potentially better if you spend a lot of money on lenses. But if you have the kind of money to buy really expensive lenses you would probably be better off buying a better body than the 500.
At around £600, I think the Nikon has a clear edge over its rivals for what I want from a camera - good auto, good lenses, versatility and movies. But if you think its a bit bulky, then perhaps the Panasonic is for you, or the Olympus. If you want a big screen and intend to spend a lot of money on lenses in the future, the Canon could be the one for you. I doubt any of them will let you down, but for me the Nikon does it.
The Nikon D5000 is a fantastic camera. For most people this will take care of all your photo needs. Some of the BEST advice I heard was, DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY ON CAMERAS! Buy a decent camera body that will fit your needs, but save your money for lenses. Lenses are what will make your camera great and able to do everything you want to. Most camera bodies today are very similar. The reason you are buying a Nikon is because of the amazing lenses that they make. Trust me on this one... SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR LENSES NOT CAMERAS.
Ok, I think you get the point. Now back to the D5000 itself. In my title I said it's good because it's a Nikon, but could be better. Nikon makes arguably the best DSLRs. Canon is great as well, but I personally love the feel and ergonomics of Nikons. The D5000 is relatively easy to use, so if your beginning, don't be afraid of this camera. It is a great introductory DSLR. If you're an advanced amateur, advanced hobbyist, semi-pro, or just demand more from your camera, make the jump to at least the D90.
In my opinion, the D90 is much better camera for not all that much more money. The D5000 lacks the focusing motor that the D90 has. Which means that all those fantastic lenses that Nikon made 10 or more years ago will not autofocus on the D5000. Only AF-S lenses, or other lenses with internal focusing motors, will autofocus on the D5000. The D90 has an autofocus motor on it. Not a deal-breaker, because Nikon makes many amazing AF-S lenses now.
The D5000 has a smaller LCD screen than the D90, but does have the vari-angle. I personally am somewhat torn by this. The problem is that to use the vari-angle, you have to use LiveView, which pretty much sucks, so I wouldn't use the var-angle anyway. If you think that this is something that you need, then by all means do it. But the D90 has a much larger and more color accurate LCD screen that will allow to you to make better determinations about color rendition, focus, and sharpness. This sounds minor, but it is actually a very BIG deal. If you want good pictures, you better be able to tell whether they are in focus or not, how sharp they are, or what your color looks like on that little LCD screen. Because on a smaller LCD you might miss something and then take your pictures home and blow them up on your computer screen and realize that it doesn't look anything like you thought when you checked it on your camera LCD.
The GOODS about this camera:
-It's a NIKON! Which means you have a great list of lenses to choose from
-Reasonably priced
-Vari-anlge LCD, although not as large or color accurate as some would like
-Easy to shoot
The BADS about this camera:
-Smaller LCD than most newer DSLRs
-No focusing motor on the body (Not a big deal if you just shoot AF-S lenses)
-Not as many customizable features as other cameras in the price range
-Vari-angle LCD only used in LiveView, which isn't very good
Overall, the D5000 is a good camera for amateurs, hobbyist, or just for someone who wants to make the next jump from a point and shoot to a DSLR. If you are thinking about seriously doing any photography more than just shooting casually, I would highly recommend you make the the jump to the D90. The D5000 can give you incredible pictures either way though. There is much more to photography than just a camera. A hammer can't build a house, it's just a tool. A camera can't make fantastic images by itself, YOU have to make them!
The Nikon D5000 was an upgrade to my D40. When I purchased my D40 it was my first DSLR and I really was not sure what to expect. I had been strictly a 35mm user for many years and transitioning to digital was a new experience for me. I soon became frustrated with the D40 because of the slow response time to take muliple shots of a subject.
The D5000 seemed (on paper) to meet my needs. I had compared it against the D90 (which was what I was wanting) and noticed many similarities of the two. There were some minor differences so I decided on the price tag. I was able to get the D5000 body at a remarkable price (I purchased a demo model).
Since using it now for a few months I have been extremely pleased with the results. The picture clarity is much better than my D40 (6MP vs 12.3MP)the colors are more vivid and the details are outstanding!
I like the LCD screen--you can fold it down, use it as a preview or keep it closed. Since I shoot a lot in the daylight it is hard to see details on the screen (as with most LCD's) so using it as a preview or review is not as important to me. when I am shooting indoors I do like to review the shot especially when using a flash.
The shutter response time is fantastic! I can shoot mulitple shots in a matter of seconds and not miss a thing. Really important if you are taking photos of animals or insects or other moving objects.
As for dislikes, right at this moment I have none. I had lenses from my D40 and they all work well with it. I really love the fields of focus (I think 11 or so) so framing your shot is a breeze.
Again for the quality of the photos I am getting I am so happy I upgraded to this model. The D40 is definitely an entry level DSLR and I should have done my homework better before I purchased that camera. The D5000 is near as near to the D90 you can get without the hefty price tag. I love this camera!
I decided to upgrade from my Nikon D50 because of the many features offered by the D5000 compared to the D50, which has been a wonderful camera during the three years I have owned it.Moving up to 12 megapixels from 6 megapixels was the main reason but I could not afford to move up to the D90. Then I saw the newly released D5000 with many of the same features as the D90 for almost half the price.I decided to give it a try.I could not be happier with my decision.I don't know what more you could want from a camera than the ability to go from taking photos at 4 frames per second if you desire, and have each one perfectly exposed and sharp, or decide on the spot to shoot HD quality video by pushing 2 buttons, again perfectly exposed with sound!This D5000 also offers so much more by way of the many different choices from shooting landscape pictures,sunset,portrait,sports.etc.All of these choices can be changed in seconds after just a short time with the camera.And last but not least is the incredibley sharp 2.7" swivel monitor which can be used in many different shooting and viewing scenarios.I have really only scratched the surface of the picture taking possibilitys of this camera whether you are choosing your first digital camera or your 5th,( this is my 5th ) amatuer or professional,the D5000 will put a smile on your face when you see the photos or the videos you have taken.And it is easy and fun to use! Needless to say I am extremely happy to have chosen this camera even though the D90 may offer a few more features but certainly not enough to make me say I wish I had purchased it instead of the D5000. Again, I just don't know what more the average photographer would want in a camera, especially for the price.
Have been using for 5 months. Image quality is superb for amature level. Tilting and rotating LCD screen is very useful and 2.7 inch size is more than sufficient. In-camara image editing such as D-lighting feature is great for fast touch-up. As for downside, is slow focusing speed and sometimes cannot fully rely on auto-focus to get really sharp image.

An excellent beer. Pours out to a cloudy amber in the glass with minimal head. Aroma is very light, with a faint yeast smell and malt as well. Taste. Here is where it shines. It has the wonderful malt taste prevelent with most ambers, but with a slight clove and spice taste associated with wheats. It finishes with a slightly sweet/spice to it that begs for another sip. It got better as it warmed up.
I will be buying this again. Yum.

12 oz bottle. Pours a murky tea color with a fizzy off white head that quickly recedes to a thin film.
The aroma is subdued - bready caramel malts, a little grassy hops and some slightly sour fruitiness.
The flavor is caramel malts, maple, a little chocolate, some yeast and a little fruit zing at the end. The mouthfeel is medium with some slightly sharp carbonation.
Overall, an enjoyable amber. It's different and more flavorful than most ambers.

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours an orangish-amber color with a white head. The aroma is malty with some fruit. The flavor is caramel malt with some fruit notes, but something is a little off. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

2.65/5 rDev -23.4%
Serving glass: Poured from bottle into tall glass.
Appearance: Dark cloudy brownish-orange with no head or lacing. Just looks kind of stagnant. Hopefully, it will get better from here.
Smell: Sweet toasted malty bread, light Belgian aroma with slight banana.
Taste: Heavily toasted malts, with dark fruit and cherry. The Belgian aroma I detected doesn't make itself known in the taste besides for maybe some light clove. Very medicinal and metallic at the end.
Feel: Seems kind of flat and spritzy at the same time. Light body with off-dry finish.
Drinkability: Just a strange beer overall. Not a fan, especially with that atrocious medicinal aftertaste. Seems like I may have gotten a bad bottle, but many others comment on the murky look with no head.

Appears a semi clouded caramel amber hue with a light cream colored head dwindles rather quickly leaving a thin collar of lacing with minimal patches sticking to the sides of my glassware. Aromatics are tame with dominant caramel malts and a touch of lingering metallic natured elements, carbonation prickles the nose but really doesn't give off an actual aroma. Flavors jump out with some cloyingly sweet sensations of apple juice with a touch of unwelcomed acidity. Way too one dimensional and malt driven I can't really even mention hops it tastes sort of like unfermented wort, with pineapple juice and some other tropical nectars adding to the sugar content. Mouthfeel is a touch sticky with residuals, pass me another version definitely a trainwreck on the palate. Carbonation is overly fizzy and seems un natural for me. Drinkability overall wasn't offended it just was way too sweet for me, kick up the hops just a tad and I could see this working. I will try another bottle to make sure it wasn't a carbonation issue.

Creamy white head. Body is amber-copper in color. Smells of light biscuit malt, orange, other fruity esters and Belgian yeasts. Taste-wise the light orange citrus is up front moving to spices, yeast and biscuit-malt. Light hop bitterness. Light bodied-- a bit watery. Finish is smooth and clean.
A decent Belgian Pale Ale, although a tad subdued for my tastes. Makes for a decent session beer if youre looking for Belgian flavor without a lot of alcohol or damage to your wallet.

(Served in an American pint glass)
A- This beer has a hazy apricot brown body with a thick light tan head of foam. There is a strong carbonation of micro bubbles that race around in the glass and supports the head for most of the beer.
S- The smell of yeast and dry biscuit malt has an earthy pine note that comes through as it warms. The smell is pretty soft except for the yeasty notes.
T- The taste of biscuit malt and toast are followed by a soft but bright orange fruit flavor. The finish is a light green pine bitterness that hangs on a bit after each sip.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with a creamy texture but a pretty clean finish.
D- This beer is simple but good. The flavors are not complex but are pretty distinct, however it would be nice to taste them a bit more. Good session beer and I think if on cask much more subtle notes would really help this beer.

This amber is a thick and cloudy dark orange color. A very light tan head reaches almost a finger and fades to a thick foam that leaves some lacing around the glass.
There's a good balance in the aroma evidencing a foundation of malts with a good hops presence adding mostly floral notes. Sweetness is on an even keel with a bit of earthiness. Light banana and bubble gum notes of Belgian yeast are also unexpectedly present. The flavor seems not to mesh well as first but melds as it sits, just needing to warm slightly from the fridge to work. Issues here are a touch of graininess and a bit of rubbing alcohol presence fading in and out.
The body is medium, as is the level of carbonation adding a brisk, nipping crispness. Smoothness comes up in the middle without ever losing that crisp bite.

12 oz bottle into a nonic pint glass. Pours a cloudy amber color with a finger of off white head that fades quickly to a few bubbles on the surface. The nose is interesting for the style, consisting of some interesting fruit aromas (peach / banana), some yeast notes, as well as sweet and toasted malts. Definitely has a Belgian flavor to it - I keep looking at the bottle to make sure Im drinking / reviewing the right beer. Clove, yeast, banana, some floral hops, and a spiciness are all found in the flavor profile. Medium bodied with a fairly high level of carbonation.
Nothing at all like I was expecting. It wasn't a bad beer, kinda tasty actually...I just dont think it fit the style very well.

When something is called amber, I ordinarily would not expect it to be called a pale, rather a hoppy American. And that's closer to my experience, but for the addition of some extra Belgian yeastiness. On-tap at Cole's./ Grapefruit colour, lots of lace. Hoppy aroma and hoppy taste, with fruit. Medium mouthfeel.Drying aftertaste.

A - This one pours reddish amber/bronze with a small khaki head that quickly fades to a thin layer of fizz. Swirling produces some spotty lace, but fails to bring up a decent head. I really like the dusky and hazy color though.
S - This has a fruity and vegetable combo aroma, like V8 splash. I'm getting some musty earthy moist soil and also some grassy hop notes. This smells a bit chalky and old world, and I'm all about funky notes like these, but they somehow fail to deliver here.
T - Carrot juice with strawberries and peaches. There is a mushroomy dirty flavor too, a long with a biscuity malt aspect that wasn't present in the aroma. A peppery spicy flavor is very prevalent also, like pepper in a Bloody Mary.
M - Gritty, earthy, dirty, medium in body, and dry on the finish. A really solid mouthfeel for an amber ale!
D - Not too shabby. I like the oddball earthy notes, and the tight mouthfeel aides drinkability. This is a pretty good brew, even though it doesn't look all that great.

A - orangish amber with a soft, white head that has decent retention
S - apple, fruit, alcohol, light hop aroma
T - apple, pear, all esters
M - medium bodied, smooth, well carbonated
This is a rather disappointing beer. It's simple and relies heavily on esters and alefruit. The nice side is that this is easily drinkable and unoffensive. In the end this isn't a beer that I'm looking to have again.

Dark Horse's Amber Ale pours a hazy light russet brown body with an orange cast. The creamy light-tan head drops shortly, and very little lacing is left behind.
In the nose it offers a compelling combination of fruitiness and malt. It mainly displays slightly tart but sweet red berries, apples, and pear, but there's hint of clove to it that somehow gives the mind the impression of sweetness (as if it was in bubble gum or something). The malt is bready, and a touch caramelish and toasty.
In the mouth it's medium bodied and smooth with a moderate carbonation that gently bristles the tongue.
The flavor delivers what the nose suggests, and it's surprisingly refreshing with so much fruitiness to it. I find apple, pear, and soft red berries upfront and across the middle where the malt begins to rise. It's not particularly bitter, and the malt really gets to shine. The fruitiness remains in the finish for a little bit, and then it steadily fades away leaving just a hint of malt and a soft note of clove behind.
It's unique, to be sure, and that keeps it compelling and interesting. But it's also really well-balanced and remarkably drinkable. It's a wee touch strong as a session ale, but I could easily see having three or four of these in a row when out with the lads. I will now go back to the store to buy more! Nicely done!!!

Picked up a single from Princeton Liquors in Maple Grove, MN. I was a little worried I'd picked up another boring amber, but Dark Horse has made something different - thank God. The aroma is a little husky and the flavor is a bit dusty, but there's also a big cocoa taste with caramel candy. Looking at the beer, it's a bit darker than a normal amber, a clear light brown. Come to think of it, this beer is a little more like a brown ale, but I'll take it. This beer is worth checking out.

Can you help find a forever home for this adorable blue nose pit bull? He's in Los Angeles but available for transport. It's the usual story of a landlord not wanting the dog. This fella is three years young, a good family dog.
He has been neutered, he is up to date on his shots, has no medical problems and is house trained. He knows "stay and sit" but they're still working on "come". His family has no children but when he's been in contact with children and dogs (including chows, other pit bulls, and even small dogs) he is very friendly. He loves to be in the car but does best in a mini-van. Time is of the essence. He has no prospects right now. Please network to all your contacts and please pledge if you can!!!

Revision as of 18:13, 9 January 2011 by Moisenallie16 (Talk | contribs)
This article is about Muggles in general. For a list with links to articles about specific Muggles, see Category:Muggles.
Muggles are the non-magical people of the Harry Potter series. Basically, anyone who is not a witch or wizard is a muggle. For example, Uncle Vernon is a muggle.
The Wizarding World's View on Muggles and Muggle Things
Some wizards treat Muggle's with great respect. But others treat muggles as if they are below the wizards. This is especially common during the times when Lord Voldemort was in power. During the second wizard war, the ministry went very anti-muggle, and their slogan became "Magic is Might".

The International Statue of Secrecy
The International Statue of Secrecy was put into effect when wizards went into hiding. Now, no muggles are supposed to know about magic except the Muggle Prime Minister.

Recipes: Rialto's Saffron Peppers
Looking for something to get you through the rainy season? Get a taste of sunnier climes with chef Jody Adams's signature saffron peppers. Full of pungent spices, they're perfect as a pick-me-up on dreary days.
- 4 Sweet red peppers
- 1/4 Cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Medium onion, cut into-1/4 inch-thick slices
- 2 Garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/4 Tsp. hot red pepper flakes
- 1/4 Tsp. saffron
- 1/2 Tsp. Spanish paprika
- 2 Tbsp. sherry vinegar
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp. raisins
- 1 Tbsp. toasted pine nuts
- 2 Tsp. chopped fresh basil
Broil peppers whole for 10 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally until black and blistered. Let cool in a paper bag, then remove skins by hand or with a kitchen towel. Cut each pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds, stem, and any membrane. Slice peppers into 1-inch-wide strips.
Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, red pepper flakes, paprika, and saffron, and cook until garlic releases its perfume, another couple of minutes. Add peppers and sherry vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, turn heat to low, add raisins and pine nuts, and cook another 3 minutes before stirring in basil. Serves four.

Untitled (#39 Memory pod series, Middle Age) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale
I founded the Singular Image photo-blog seven years ago, in part to provide an on-going discussion of my evolving vision, as well as in the words of Gary Winogrand, "to see what my photographs looked like". This effort has been self-funded until now and now I require some additional assistance. Thus I am going to make what I think it is a really nice offer (actually described by another photographer as a sophisticated offer). Rather than requesting outright donations to support this blog, I am going to instead, much like Kickstarter, provide a special print offer. This is an opportunity for you to purchase an open-edition archival pigment print of any photograph of mine that I have posted on this blog in the past seven years. There is only one caveat; the print size will be limited to an outside dimension of 8 ½" x 11" otherwise the print will move into my Limited Edition sizes (and a much different pricing!).
So here is the print offer to support this blog:
Each open-edition archival pigment print, 8 ½" x 11", matte finish, signed on verso (back of the print) is available for $100.00 U.S.D., which normally sell for $200.00. The shipping and handling (s/h) of each order is $25.00 U.S.D. for anywhere in the world, so multiple print orders to one destination will only require one s/h charge (even more savings!!). The print will not be matted and the photograph selected must be made by me (as I have also from time to time discussed some other photographers work and illustrated the post with their photographs on the blog). Easy as eating pie!
So page through this blog, find the photograph(s) you like (Yes, you can purchase as many as you like) and then leave me a note in the comments section of the post that you want this print offer and provide me with your email address. I will send you a PayPal invoice and ask for a shipping address and soon this print will be your hands.
I am not exactly sure how many photographs I have posted over the past seven years (I am pretty sure that I have the negative or file with very few exceptions) but I believe that there are more than 890 photographs to choose from. If there are any potential conflicts with the photograph, I will let you know.
If by chance there is more than one photograph in the post, because after a few years, I did start posting more than a singular image, describe which print, e.g. the top print, the bottom print, or maybe which of the bottom prints.
If you have any questions, email me! firstname.lastname@example.com
So now please get started!!
As I hope you know and understand I really appreciate all of your support for these past seven years and now I hope for a few more years yet to come. Thanks!!
And if you are interested in a larger Limited Edition photograph, please contact me.

getting this too, so much so i'm on my second *#7370# since installing belle. i'm going to go for a bare install this time and try to see what is going on. the beta search was terrible for creating dated files on C so i got rid of it. it's been doing it ever since though. i was down to 59meg from 120meg just after fresh belle install.

i've just made a backup security copy as i do weekly, suddenly my c: memory drops fron 14 mb to 8 mb, it has been dropping since i've installed belle and made backups. this could be the root of all of the memory drop. i've made copies on usb and computer and everytime it finishes it drops like 10 mb per copy, nokia should check c: backup folders as it may contain the bug.

Helping children and families cope. That is the mission of the Children's Cancer Center, a local non-profit organization dedicated to serving Tampa Bay families of children with cancer or chronic blood disorders such as Sickle Cell Anemia.
"When a child is diagnosed, the whole family is diagnosed," explains Children's Cancer Center C.O.O., Patty O'Leary. "Our mission is to provide these children and their families with the educational, emotional and financial relief necessary to cope with the illnesses which threaten to tear their lives apart."
With 22 programs and services currently helping over 950 families, support is offered to all members of the family and is available throughout every step of their difficult journey – from diagnosis and treatment, to survivorship . . . and sadly, too often, bereavement.
While other organizations are committed to finding a cure tomorrow, the Children's Cancer Center is committed to helping families cope today. They are dedicated solely to being there for each family through this devastating experience.
One day at a time.

The future of the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center is up for discussion, as a group of Rapid City community leaders meet to discuss what lies ahead.
The Civic Center Future Committee, comprised of tourism, community and economic leaders, will spend the next 12 months deciding what should be done with the Don Barnett arena.
The 35-year-old arena is out of compliance with the Americans with disabilities act. Research presented to the board Wednesday shows that if a new arena were built, the average concert attendance would nearly triple.
A new arena would have an economic impact of $53 million dollars by 2020. But board members say their ears are open to the public's wishes first and foremost.
"The community at large will be invited to come in and offer their opinions, their input is very essential," said Jeff Bailie, Rushmore Plaza Civic Center board member.
"As we bring businesses into the community, one of the thing they look at is quality of life. And the civic center offers an important aspect of that quality of life," said Mutch Usera, a member of the Civic Center Future committee.
According to statistics, if the arena is simply renovated and expanded, it will still bring in roughly one million fewer visitors annually by 2020, than if it were rebuild all together. Preliminary estimates on building a new arena show a cost to be upwards of $70 million dollars.

Sweatpants: All Sorts of Homemade Halloween Costumes
September 23, 2010 | Posted By: Laura Pagles | Categorized in: Shopping, Entertainment, Family
At the risk of sounding like my mom: When I was a kid, we never wore store-bought Halloween costumes... We could get pretty clever, pulling off last-minute homemade costumes from old bed sheets, tin foil, or shipping boxes (I was a front-load washing machine).
My mom sews, like with a sewing machine and patterns. And my sewing doesnt extend past my little makeup bag of a few random thread colors, needles and buttons. For a minimal-sewing, low-cost, and warm (if youre north of the Mason Dixon line, youll understand) solution, try sweats and hoodies genius! Assorted, probably on sale cuz its so ugly colors, open up an assortment of homemade kid costume possibilities.
This little elephant costume has the added bonus of a trunk (yay!). You can keep this simple or go into detail. Either way, itll still look like an elephant.
This one is so ridiculously easy: Red sweats and a hoodie for the body.
Now, look at the assortment of colors available for sweats and use your imagination: Use fabric paint or electrical tape to turn orange sweats into a tiger suit. Attach yellow and/or orange fringe around the front of a brown hoodie and arm openings to make a lion oh my. Pink sweats, a curly tail, and an abbreviated version of the elephant trunk for a snout.
Personally, Im going for it this year with an attempt at a homemade Buzz Lightyear costume, equipped with a wristband laser cannon (laser pointer). And I'm pushing to get my husband to sport that Elmo costume.
