The death of Jefferson County's chief coroner could have an impact on several murder trials.
Before he died suddenly in November, Dr. David Brissie conducted autopsies in several murder cases. Prosecutors have filed motions asking that his autopsy records be allowed into trial as evidence. They are asking the courts to allow them to be entered as business records or to grant another county coroner to testify to the reports.
Some defense attorneys argue that allowing the records violates a defendant's right to cross examine witnesses.
"What I am saying is based on the law on our constitution, on a ruling by the Supreme Court and the Alabama Appellate Court. It's not something I manufactured out of thin air," said Joe Basgier, an attorney with Bloomston and Basgier.
"Are you going to let a lot of people's murders go untried, defendants just released because someone died? No, you're not going to do that," said Jefferson County Chief Deputy D.A. Bill Vietch.
The judges in each of the cases where Brissie's testimony is in question have yet to make a ruling.

Getting excited about Friday-Monday.
Rosie and I will be going to Gatlinburg for our annual trek to the Gaither Homecoming' Family Fest in the Smokies.We have went 6 years.
Always have fun… but I will have anxiety and worries all week leading up to it. Once there I will be fine.Except by late Saturday I will be bawling my eyes out of loneliness cause I see so many COUPLES sharing lives with one another. LONELINESS SUCKS!
Rosie and I have stayed in the same hotel room for 4 years now. We can walk from our room to the venue in 5 minutes.
Worried about the weather… suppose to be in the 90′s. Rosie and I do NOT tolerate heat well. Plans are to go to the shows, grab a bite to eat and then back to the room for a nap. Going to shop late at night.
Dyed Rosie's hair BRIGHT RED, Gonna tone it down tomorrow. She also wants me give her some bangs. ADVICE: Do NOT use L'Oreal Excellence HiColor Intense Red on your eyebrows. Color is way too intense. Have to dye Rosie's eyebrows a darker shade.
Dyed my hair Natural blue black. Dyed my brows as well. Looks good.
Rosie and I went through all our jewelry, make-up and hair stuff. We have so so many accessories…. Hard to select what to take with us to Gatlinburg. Rosie and I are spoiled rotten!
Rosie is still having major edema in her legs. Pray that it subsides.
Rosie has lost about 50% of her hair due to having 3 major surgeries in the last 9 months. Please pray for her. I know it upsets her. THANKS!
Love and Prayers,

ESPN.com's Mike Sando just wrote an article about the nfl's all decade defensive team. Even though the 2000-2010 decade is not over yet (my 10 year HS reunion is right around the corner...yikes), he said that he has enough information to already make his judgements. One of the picks may surprise you. Its a Panther.
Below is a list of the top 11 guys of the 21st century. Well, so far at least.
DE: Michael Strahan, N.Y. Giants,
DT: Warren Sapp, Tampa Bay/Oakland
DT: Kris Jenkins, Carolina/N.Y. Jets
DE: Jason Taylor, Miami/Washington
LB: Derrick Brooks, Tampa Bay
LB: Ray Lewis, Baltimore
LB: Brian Urlacher, Chicago
CB: Champ Bailey, Washington/Denver
CB: Troy Vincent: Phil./Mia./Buff./Wash.
S: Ed Reed, Baltimore
S: Troy Polamalu, Pittsburgh
So what do you think? I was a little surprised that Jenks was up there considering his injuries. Are you surprised by any of the players? If so, which one(s)?

Originally built in the late-'20s, Montreal's landmark Olympia Theatre recently underwent a renovation project and technical facilities update that simultaneously took the "grand dame" of the city's theatre scene both back in time and squarely into the 21st century. As part of the plan, local sound and lighting provider Kloda Focus Group was called upon to supply the venue with a new PA system, which now benefits from a Soundcraft Vi6™ digital live sound console feeding Crown-powered JBL VerTec arrays.
"For a digital console, the Soundcraft Vi6 has a shallow learning curve and is very easy to use, which is a great advantage for visiting engineers," offers Mathieu Guilbault, who serves as front-of-house mixer for the theatre and co-designed the new system. "The console's EQ and dynamics sections also sound great. I'm very happy with the choice we made."
Olympia Theatre's remarkable building combines the modern with the classic and features retro chandeliers, carved wooden medallions, and plaster-cast moldings. With two floors and a seating capacity of 1,370 patrons—up to 2,800 for standing audiences – Olympia Theatre hosts a wide variety of musical and related events ranging from hip-hop, electronic, punk and rock to gospel choirs, jazz, plays and conferences.
The venue's new sound system was installed as a cooperative project between Guilbault and Kloda Focus Group's chief of sound, Bill Kinal. "We were looking for a state-of-the-art solution," Kinal recalls, "and eventually decided on an all-Harman system that would incorporate as much all-digital technology as possible to ensure the highest sound quality."
The Soundcraft Vi6 digital live sound console features 32 on-surface faders and 64 mix channels routing to 35 output busses (32 group/aux/matrix busses, plus the main LCR busses) with 24 insert send/return pairs assignable to any of the input or output channels. The system comprises a compact control surface, a local rack that houses the SCore Live processing engine, and a stage box that connects to the local rack via Cat-5/7 cable. (A fiber-optic interface is available as an option.)
"We love the sound of Soundcraft's ultra-low-noise mic amps and the high-power digital processing," Guilbault offers. The Studer-developed SCore Live engine features advanced 40-bit floating-point DSP elements that ensure ultra-precision signal processing.
"The two-layer control surface, with 32 faders flipping between upper and lower configurations, is perfect," the designer and FOH mixer continues. "We can also handle a combination of analog and digital sources, routing to a very flexible array of group and auxiliary outputs, and/or the main stereo busses.
"The Vistonics™ II user interface provides rotary controls and switches right on the touch screen. Everything is visible and accessible all the time; you just reach for the function you need. Each signal path offers high- and low-pass pass filters, a powerful, sweet-sounding four-band parametric EQ section, compressor, limiter, gate, de-esser, pan and more. It is an amazingly flexible design."
Outputs from the Soundcraft Vi6 console connect digitally to a pair of dbx DriveRack 4800s that enable system delay, equalization and 8-in/16-out signal distribution to Crown I-Tech 4000 and XTi 1000 amplifiers powering the loudspeaker cabinets.
An analog Soundcraft MH3 40-channel/12-auxiliary console handles on-stage monitoring. Floor monitors include four JBL SRX712 and six JBL VRX915 wedges powered by Crown XTi 2000 and XTi 4000 amplifiers. Two JBL SRX725 cabinets are available for side-fills.
The flown line array comprises 16 compact JBL VERTEC VT4887 – eight per side – augmented by two pairs of VT4880 dual-18 subwoofers. Four JBL MS26 cabinets handle front-fills, powered by a single Crown XTi 1000. A rack of 10 Crown I-Tech 4000 amplifiers power the line arrays and side-fills. Harman Pro HiQnet™ software handles overall system control and monitoring
"We are very happy with the new sound system," Guilbault enthuses. "The Soundcraft Vi6 is a delight to use – it's flexible, powerful and a great creative tool. This coming year we will be accommodating approximately 200 live shows here at Olympia Theatre, of which I will handle maybe 75. I'm convinced that the Soundcraft will be easy for guest engineers to master, which was ultimately why we selected the system."

I could not have been more proud then i was with just under 7 minutes remaining seeing K Love and B Easy chest bumping towards the sideline. The crowd on their feet. I have not felt so good as a Wolves fan in years. K Love relentless all night B Easy hitting clutch jumpers. They single handedly dominated that game.
But you cant forget about the other 3 wolves on the floor who played key roles.
Bassy distributing the ball well and being a pest on D.
Brew getting steals, deflections, and even a few clutch baskets.
And last but not least Wes Johnson really sparked the run. He hit a couple 3s late in the 3rd that really swung the momentum and kept the Wolves in it.
Anything thing else fellow Wolves fans have to say.
Lets keep the momentum rolling!
Love seeing the intensity from K Love and B Easy when they were taking the game over and had fun doing it.

Is the A52 really the worst road in Britain?
New figures released by the Government for "on-time car journeys" suggest Brian Clough Way is the worst road in Britain. But how accurate is the data?
The Department for Transport say the figures from March 2011 - 2013 are "experimental" and they need people who use the road regularly to tell them about their experiences.
The best road in Britain is the A11 between the A1101 and A14 in East Anglia. 100% of the journeys for drivers were completed on time in January 2014. Drivers will face delays on this stretch soon as roadworks have now been announced.

Ed. Note: Scrubbing out Wagner's first win since April 2010? Yup, that's front page-worthy. Enjoy!
When a team goes winless over the span of 721 days, it's noteworthy. Thus, when a team breaks their win-less skid that lasted 721 days, it's even more noteworthy. Sir HoyaSuxa did a fine job writing up a post about Wagner's first victory of the year -- don't worry Sacred Heart, someone was bound to drop a game to the Seahawks -- but I wanted to take a deeper look in a quarter-by-quarter breakdown of the landmark victory for a mostly hapless lacrosse team.
Going into the game, Wagner had about a 12% chance of winning against Sacred Heart by my calculations using my efficiency ratings. 10% of that came from being on home field. Needless to say, they were out matched. One of the ways I like to look at individual games is using my version of a Four Factors graph. In basketball -- especially college hoops -- there are what are called the Four Factors. These four statistics are what contribute most to winning basketball games. Intuitively it makes sense. In looking through the things that contribute to winning lacrosse games at the team level, I've come across four main components*:
- Offensive/Defensive Efficiency
- Possession Percentage
- Turnover Percentage
- Clearing Percentage
Here's what the factor graph looked like for the Wagner game as a whole:
Click (all) image(s) to enlarge.
The First Quarter
The Seahawks and the Pioneers lined up for the opening face off which was won by Sacred Heart's Stephen Kontos -- a trend that emerged pretty quickly -- and gave SHU the quick opening possession. After controlling the ball for almost two full minutes which yielded a couple of shots and a ground ball scoop, Wagner got a ground ball of their own and a quick successful clear. 30 seconds later, the transition opportunity was cashed in by Colin O'Rourke and Wagner was off and running. They'd for Sacred Heart into a few more turnovers -- a necessity as they lost five of the six draws taken in the first quarter -- and move into the offensive attack. Their second goal came a couple minutes after forcing a turnover and a prolonged offensive possession. Eventually, Wagner enjoyed a 4-1 romp through the first fifteen minutes.
In losing five of the six face offs, Wagner put it's defense in an precarious position but they held strong. Going six-for-six on defensive clears allowed Wagner to actually win the possession battle (nine to seven) for the only time all day. They had to work to get the ball back after SHU's domination at the x, but their persistent defense paid dividends.
The Second Quarter
Then the second quarter started. SHU controlled the pace and nearly four-fifths of the possessions. The Pioneers rode excellent clearing rates (100% is excellent, I hear) and domination at the x (another five-out-of-six) to a period that pushed the already-pressured Seahawk defense seemingly beyond repair. Sacred Heart would score five straight in the second to grab a 6-4 lead at the half.
The Third Quarter
Well, the third didn't exactly go as planned either. Wagner desperately needed to cool Stephen Kontos at the x, but it just never happened. Sacred Heart would win all five face offs taken in the period, allowing them to control 10 of the 17 offensive possessions. Extending their lead to 7-4 by scoring the sixth straight goal of the game, SHU started to put a strangle hold on the Seahawks. At this point, all 307 in attendance (actual, reported figure; not me making up a number to poke fun at the attendance) likely assumed that Wagner was gonna Wagner, but they didn't. Wagner scored twice to pull the game to 7-6 before Matt Gannon would give the Pioneers a two-goal edge heading into the final period.
The Fourth Quarter
Wagner, predictably, lost the opening draw in the fourth quarter, but SHU's Tom Sardelli was whistled for pushing (thirty seconds). This turned the ball over to the Seahawks who set up shop on their extra-man opportunity. Mike Hurley fired a shot wide but it was backed up by teammates. Then, about a minute after Sardelli's infraction, Wagner struck on a shot by Brian Faughnan. Flood gates: thy shall open.
Sacred Heart's Brian Kelly was whistled for a 1:00 slashing penalty, giving the Seahawks another extra man opportunity. Kontos lined up to take the face off for SHU but was beaten by John Andrejack. Wagner's EM team would set up and strike about forty-five seconds into the penalty and we had a tie game at eight.
Around the 6:50 mark, Wagner would force a failed clear and then a turnover and had Sacred Heart scrambling. The Seahawks called a quick time out sensing the importance of this possession and they came out and executed to perfection. Just 19 seconds after the time out, Wagner's William Hedges tallied an unassisted goal which proved to be the game winner, putting Wagner up 9-8.
The Seahawks would add two more late in the game, sending the 307 in attendance home seeing some sort of history with a 11-8 victory.
Wagner scored on all five of their offensive possessions -- helped by five extra man opportunities (where they scored twice) -- by forcing SHU into turnovers with a good ride. Wagner also grabbed six of the ten ground balls available in the quarter to help secure the victory.
The Final Tally
Overall, Wagner lost 20 of the 23 face offs on the day to Stephen Kontos. Still, they capitalized on three of the nine EMO's on the day which helped equalize such a large possession advantage for SHU (36 possessions to 24). Was this a game that Wagner should've won? Probably not. They were out-possessed, didn't have a major advantage in clears but did force more turnovers than SHU. The Seahawks benefited from the extra man. Wagner scored almost as many extra man goals (3) as Sacred Heart had extra man opportunities (4). That personnel advantage helped Wagner score at a highly efficient 45.8% in this 60-possession game. When a team scores that efficiently, you're not likely to win.
Just ask Wagner. Their opponents score 40% of the time they have the ball this year.
* = Actually, there are five. I forgot to include Groundball Percentage but I realized that after I penned up this entire piece. I'll look to include that in any future works on individual games and it'll be the Five Factors.

Credit where credit is due, this template is excellent value for money. I am sure I will come across the odd glitch here and there but from what I have seen to press it certainly will be nothing major. The Password protection is just how it should be, a very useful feature when allowing clients to view a shoot.
The template is very well put together, professional in every way and simple to use. Anyone with a reasonable knoweldge of WP will breeze around this without having to use the excellent documentation. I stopped and hesitated about buying this because of the Password Protection, asked the question, saw the update go live and just had to buy it. 5 Stars are certainly deserved, I hope I can put some work into my site (test mode at present http://www.imag3.co.uk) that will do the template justice.
Thank you for your work and excellent support
I am a photojournalist using this theme to create my site and it has been a great experience. The theme is clean and simple which is great for displaying photos.
Additionally, the customer support is tremendous. I had a few issues that were corrected by the support staff or explained to me in a way that was easy to understand and fix.
Thanks again!
This theme has tempted me from a themeforest.net visitor to became a purchased member. =) It's just soooo wonderful and exactly what I want my site to be.
I did read the documentation and all comments, I understand that it needs enormous efforts to response for all customers/users effectively. Some people might only wish to take short-cut for everything without proper fundamental knowledge, this always causes many problems not related outside of your boundary.
But I realized you did responded to almost every comment/question, and trying your best to solve their issue and even willing to modify code individually for them, you are the greatest developer I ever seen =)
Appreciate your work very much. Thank you.
Rated 5 stars for you.

As France "recovers" from the million person march (organisers) or 150,000-strong (official figures) anti same-sex marriage "Manif pour tous" last weekend in Paris, a couple are preparing to wed in Montpellier.
On Wednesday, Vincent Autin and Bruno Boileau will become the first "gay grooms to tie the knot" since parliament voted in favour, the Constitutional Council gave its approval and the French president François Hollande signed same-sex marriage into law.
Add to that the fact that on the same day as the march, Franco-Tunisian director Abdellatif Kechiche picked up top honours at the Cannes film festival for his "story of a young woman's awakening" in the film "La vie d'Adèle" ("Blue is the warmest colour") and you'll surely understand (?) how it has all become just a little too much for the country's most gay-friendly politician to handle.
We're talking about Christine Boutin of course, the former housing minister and leader of the centre-right Parti chrétien-démocrate (Christian democratic party, PCD) - a defender of family values and most definitely not a homophobe.
That must be true because she has repeatedly said so.
But somehow it's increasingly hard to believe, especially in light of her outburst on French radio on Monday.
Following on from her recent tasteless tweet about US actress Angelina Jolie's decision to have a double mastectomy to reduce her chances of getting breast cancer, and perhaps still feeling the after-effects (well there has to be some sort of explanation) from being sprayed with tear gas during a "Manif pour tous" demonstration in Paris back in March, Boutin revealed that contrary to what she might insist, her views surely more than smack of homophobia.
Invited into the studios of RMC radio and asked to give her reaction to Kechiche's win, Boutin's gay tolerance fuse blew.
"You can't watch a movie on television or a series without there being gays included and expressing themselves," she said.
"And now it's the Palme d'Or.... We're being invaded. We can no longer have a story without a gay theme occurring. It's too much," she continued.
"Today it seems to be a fashion to be gay. We're being invaded by gays."

Hold yer whist there Brian -- the wedding is not until 5.30 --- let them get over the ceremony and the tv crews and the politicians and the onlookers and the protesters --- they still have to break a bottle of Bolly and have dinner and a dance --- so they will be much too busy to have a tiff at this stage .
Lets , as you say ,wish them luck and hope there is no sting in the tail ---- otherwise we will have to send them Zoe's tweezers
Now I am going in at the deep end! Zoe and I are both bee keepers! I got quite a buzz out of coming out on that one, could even break out in hives ;-)
Now back to Earth base everybody. Let's all just congratulate the happy couple who have probably had their first marital disagreement by now...
Ticks???? i use a tweezers, and try to keep the pets out of long grass.
Ley, I think we have to encourage people in the public eye to stop equating paedophilia and homosexuality, simply because they do and they are wrong. However, I did not see Celeste equating them, simply her putting them in a single comment but without anything saying they are 'the same', 'comparable' or whatever.
The bottom line is, one's sexuality is their business and does not need to be said unless, perhaps they are asked and choose to respond. Then that response is nobody's business but their own in reality. People are just people, human beings with their own lives and within reason (for instance, we do not simply accept somebody is a mass murderer and let him or her get on with it) how one lives one's life should be taken as it comes without everything being judged by somebody.
Neither can I Sandra --- reading between the lines --- i think the reference means -- very camp--- effeminate --- or at least that is my understanding ----I am open to correction on this -------
I always thought ticks were what dogs and people got out in the woods and you use Frontline on them to kill them!!!! lol
Touche Zoe --- we must have been reading the same thing at the same time ----- !!!!
It's unfortunate that the French use the slang pédé for someone gay, as it does give a completely wrong impression.
I don't think anyone answered your question "what are ticks". They are usually considered to be involuntary movements, such as those displayed by people with Aspergers - I can't see the relevance to gays at all.
Ley, I am so sorry , I did not mean to offend you or anyone else and normally i would never use paedophilia and homosexuality together --- and abhor the equation that is sometimes made. you are right to point it out
I was trying to explain that Freud would not be the best person to comment on this subject , because of his history and personal behaviour and his psychotic experiments.
my own background would be in Cognative Behavioural Psychology .. i have seen first hand the affect of bullying on young teenagers who are trying to come to terms with their sexuality,--- and unfortunetly some who have been so distraught they have taken their own lives .
To me they are the most compassionate of humans ---- for a homosexual to come 'out' is a very brave thing --- because of the prejudices , and homophobia they have to face on a daily basis .
This is one of the reasons I get so angry ---- also I think sexuality is a personal thing --- I do not present myself to people saying 'Hi. I'm Celeste i'm Hetrosexual' it is nobodies business , so it makes me very angry when people say' OH !! by the way their gays '?????? I do not want to know --- I just want to know what the person is like, as a person .
Celeste, I think you miss my point. I definitely wasn't criticizing what you said. All I request is for us to stop equating paedophilia and homosexuality, deliberately or unthinkingly. As a gay man of some age now, I know only too well how damaging this ubiquitous association can be, that's all. Whether I, you or anyone else likes it or not there is an association between the two in the eyes of the public and it behoves all of us who care, to be vigilant and to point it out wherever it appears. Actually I have been truly encouraged to read what you and other members of SFN have written on this thread (with one exception - not this one). As a psychodynamic counsellor working for Relate for many years I am well aware of Freud and his teachings and have dismissed almost all of them. I respect his attempts to describe the human condition but I deplore his methods and conclusions. I am much more of a Jungian psychotherapist and endeavour to include his work into my own. However they worked many years ago now and I remain open to new thoughts and change. It's always so much more difficult to evaluate when in the midst of the change itself than it is to look back with more open (hopefully) eyes.
Ley --- I did not mix up the words i have used ---- if you were familiar with the life and times of Freud then what i have said is correct ---- his reasoning for his 'experimentation' was to understand in the inner working of the emotional being . Having studied his work and that of Jung for many years, in my own line of work ----- I did not say those words lightly . It is well documented.
I was answering a comment by someone ' they wondered what would Freud think of all this discussion '
i have many good friends and relatives who are gay and are wonderful ,loving ,caring people --- that is why i cannot stand this reaction by the French .
My brother-in laws partner is a father with 3 grown up girls and he has 3 grandaughters --- they babysit , and adore the children the same as my own children have always adored their uncles ---- I have no time for this anti gay bull s---- it makes me angry ---- their lack of tolerance ------

In 1980, Roger began his consulting/advising career. As a gifted communicator and an expert in the strategies of performance improvement, he traveled the country showing agencies/brokerages exactly how focusing on the basics would bring them greater success and a better life. The power of that knowledge was quickly recognized and Roger became a frequent speaker at conventions around the country.
Roger and his firm have helped more than 2,000 independent insurance agencies/brokerages build their dream businesses while reducing workload. As a result of all these experiences and his voracious appetite for increased knowledge, Roger invented The Vertical Growth ExperienceTM. This is a series of strategies in the areas of sales, sales management, senior management, account management and business development.
Roger's conviction to long-term relationships with his best clients prompted him to establish The Sitkins 100TM, and eventually Sitkins International. This is an exclusive network of high-performance, non-competing agencies/brokerages and are the only agencies/brokerages that have access to The Vertical Growth ExperienceTM training programs.
George Robertson has over 25 years of experience in the insurance and technology industry, with 10 of those as a fellow independent agency owner. This means he knows first-hand the challenges you face when trying to improve revenue and more efficiently use staff and agency management systems. His knowledge of insurance automation comes from years of study and working for some of the leading automation vendors in the industry as well as other leading technology providers. George is also well-versed in the latest social media tools and website advances and can help you implement those into your agency's marketing efforts.

What a waste of good money. Of the three pair received, only one had actually been assembled. The rest were in pieces, and without all the screws. Very poorly made product. AVOID.

I don't get your point exactly, woofwoof, but I absolutely agree that fire stations with sleeping areas for those folks who work a 24 hour shift is completely unreasonable!January 29, 2011 at 12:17 p.m.
The Chief had a beatiful fire station to speak from. You know, BBQ grills, sleeping areas, play station games, workout areas, fenced in parking next to a City park. We need more firestations and fire marshalls.January 29, 2011 at 12:10 p.m.
I don't know, woofwoof, but can't you retire from the military at about 49 or so and collect a very nice military retirement?January 29, 2011 at 11:03 a.m.
Another pension plus salary taxpayers get to pay for. Who can retire at 49 years old in the private sector. That's right, no one.January 29, 2011 at 10:40 a.m.

An interview published in the Russian language Blagovest-Info on April 28, 2009. Highlight: Blagovest-Info: During the six months you have occupied the chair of the Archbishop of Washington, you had to prove yourself a leader unafraid of expressing your stance, even if, to some, it may seem not to be politically correct. Suffice it to recall your recent speech in Dallas. To what extent, in your opinion, should directness and diplomacy be combined among hierarchs? +Jonah: I think it is time to be direct. We can be politically correct, but we will be buried. Can we afford to play Byzantine political games, in which they simply do not take us into account? And I want my voice to be heard in the upcoming discussions concerning the problem of the Orthodox Diaspora. I do not want to offend anyone - especially the Ecumenical Patriarch, - but I want my Church's position to be heard and acknowledged. It is essential that we participate in decisions regarding our fate." HT: Orthodox … [Read more...]
It Is Time To Be Direct
Patriarch Kirill welcomes Metropolitan Jonah in Moscow
Official statement from the Moscow Patriarchate (HT: Byzantine, TX, and Rocor United): On the 26th of April 2009, Metropolitan Jonah of the Orthodox Church in America served liturgy with Patriarch Kirill at Christ the Savior Cathedral. The Patriarch then addressed Metropolitan Jonah with the following words: Your Eminence Jonah, Archbishop of Washington and New York, Metropolitan of all America and Canada, beloved in Christ brother and co-celebrant! Wise bishops and priests! Dear brothers and sisters! Christ is Risen! It brings me great joy to greet the delegation of the Orthodox Church in America headed by His Eminence Vladyka Jonah during these bright Paschal days. In your first official visit as a newly-chosen primate, which you are making to the Moscow Patriarchate, you have emphasized the special interrelation of American Orthodoxy with its Mother Church. This relation, filled with a spirit of love and unity, truly can be characterized by the words of the apostle, "One … [Read more...]
Met. Gerasimos blasts Met. Jonah for "persecuting" the Church of Constantinople
In what can only be described as a radical restructuring of an increasingly public discussion, Met. Gerasimos (GOA, San Francisco) blasts Met. Jonah (OCA) for his recent criticism of the address by Fr. Elpidophoros Lambriniadis at Holy Cross Seminary last month. In the address, Fr. Elpidophoros laid out the rationale for submission of all American Orthodox Christians to Constantinople in what can be generously described as exclusively ethnic terms. Met. Gerasimos addresses none of Met. Jonah's criticisms or Fr. Elpidophoros' rationale. Instead, Met. Gerasimos frames the discussion in terms of the "persecution" of the Constantinopolitan Church, which, he contends, "...has shown us that the Ecumenical Patriarchate must now concern itself not only with attacks by those outside the Church, but also from within the Church, as well." No mention is made of the historical and canonical claims made by Fr. Elpidophoros. Neither does Met. Gerasimos address the worldwide resistance to … [Read more...]
Metropolitan Jonah apologizes for 'uncharitable' remarks directed at Ecumenical Patriarch
From the Orthodox Church in America Web site. Posted April 17: Metropolitan Jonah issues statement on recent sermon SYOSSET, NY [OCA Communications] -- On Great, Holy and Good Friday, April 17, 2009, His Beatitude, Metropolitan Jonah, Primate of the Orthodox Church in America, issued the following statement in response to recent commentary on his April 5, 2009 sermon, delivered at Saint Seraphim Cathedral, Dallas, TX. "I greet you in a spirit of repentance and forgiveness as we celebrate the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ. Certain comments that were made in the course of my sermon have provoked a reaction from my Orthodox brothers that I did not intend or foresee. I regret making those comments. In particular, I realize that some characterizations regarding the Ecumenical Patriarch and the Patriarchate of Constantinople were insensitive. As the Primate of the Orthodox Church in America, I am motivated only by the desire to underscore our fervent hope that future discussion … [Read more...]
Metropolitan Jonah: on the occasion of the great feast of the Lord's Pascha, 2009
Archpastoral Message of His Beatitude, Metropolitan Jonah, on the occasion of the great feast of the Lord's Pascha, 2009 Posted 04/13 Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen! To the Very Reverend and Reverend Clergy, Monastics, and Faithful of The Orthodox Church in America Dearly Beloved in Christ, Beloved, let us greet one another with Paschal Joy, and exchange the kiss of peace. Let us feast soberly, that our joy may be full. Let us not stuff ourselves to satiety with feasting, nor indulge our passions to insensibility. Most of all, let us not give ourselves over to the darkness of the fallen world from which we have sought to purify ourselves, lack of forgiveness, anger and judgment, bitterness and hatred. … [Read more...]
Transcription of Met. Jonah's Speech on Orthodoxy Unity in America
Sermon delivered at St. Seraphim Orthodox Cathedral in Dallas, Texas on April 5, 2009. It is a great joy to see everybody here this evening from so many different communities, from different traditions. Orthodoxy is a celebration of diversity in unity, and unity in diversity. Our unity is in our one Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and our one Orthodox faith and our one commitment to living the truth, to living as Christians. Not to live according the spirit of the world, not to live according to our passions, not to live according to the desires that flit by through our minds and lead us into all sorts of trouble, but to live the truth, to live Orthodox. And, our diversity is something we celebrate, not a diversity of lifestyles, but a diversity that reflects the whole spectrum of our community, people of all races, people of all colors, people from a multitude of different ethnic backgrounds. … [Read more...]
Met. Jonah to Old World bishops: Hands Off the American Church!
In a stinging rebuke to the Ecumenical Patriarchate, Metropolitan Jonah of the Orthodox Church in America issued a call for a unified American Church and rejected any path to unity that would mean "we surrender the freedom we have embraced as American Orthodox Christians to a patriarchate still under Islamic domination." The video here records his sermon on April 5 at Pan-Orthodox vespers at St. Seraphim Cathedral in Dallas. Although he did not mention him by name, the Metropolitan was responding to a speech given March 16 at Holy Cross School of Theology by the Very Reverend Archimandrite Dr. Elpidophoros Lambriniadis, chief secretary of the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. In the speech, Fr. Lambriniadis was critical of calls for unity by both the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese and OCA and asserted that "submission to the First Throne of the Church, that is, to the Ecumenical Patriarchate" is the proper mode of unity for American Orthodox Christians. To such a … [Read more...]
Achieving Orthodox Unity
Fr. Gleb McFatter, who pastors St. Demetrius Orthodox Church in Naples, Florida offered the following homily at the Sunday of Orthodoxy Vespers. Highlight: Orthodox unity will only be achieved when the laity, parish priests and monastics lovingly unify themselves and exhibit that unity to the hierarchs. One thing those of us in the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) have learned from our recent "times of trouble" is that only when the discontent among the laity, parish priests and monastics rose to a fever pitch — only then were the hierachs moved to action. Imagine what could be accomplished if that same level of energy was focused on achieving unity among those at the parish and monastic level! … [Read more...]
Met. Jonah's 2009 Lenten message
On Feb. 28, Metropolitan Jonah, the head of the Orthodox Church in America, posted the following message: Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! To the Very Reverend and Reverend Clergy, Monastics and Faithful of the Orthodox Church in America Dearly Beloved in the Lord: Christ is in our midst! Our Church has gone through a tragic and bitter episode in her history. Many souls suffered shipwreck, demoralized by the sins of a few. That is over. But the lingering bitterness and mistrust, resentment and desire for retribution, hang over us. We must heal this, both on an individual as well as corporate level. The only way to do this is repentance, using this season of repentance to make changes in our lives, cleanse our hearts and minds, and embrace the hope that can only be grasped by forgiveness. Unless we forgive others from our hearts, we cannot accept God's forgiveness for our own sins. Every time we criticize, judge, condemn or despise another person, no … [Read more...]
Met. Jonah calls for 'internal reformation'
Ecumenical News Service interviewed Metropolitan Jonah, who called for better administration and more accountability in Church governance in light of the recent financial scandals in the Orthodox Church in America. The interview was republished by UK church news service Ekklesia. ... Jonah said, "There is a lot of 'internal reformation' that has to take place in the church." He noted that the church needs to put into place systems of administration and accountability that will put it on par with "a 21st century, U.S. non-profit" organization. Other goals include making the OCA a far more visible presence within the United States, though more vigorous missionary work. Jonah notes that already 60 percent of some one million OCA laity, 70 percent of its clergy and 90 percent of its bishops are, like Jonah, converts from other denominational traditions. Jonah also wants to promote Orthodoxy unity within the United States and for U.S. Orthodox churches to explore the creation … [Read more...]

Mattingly on Met. Jonah
In "Orthodox bishop on hot spot," Terry Mattingly looks at the improbable rise of Metropolitan Jonah -- in the span of about 10 days -- from newly consecrated assistant bishop of Dallas to head of the Orthodox Church in America. Snip: If nationwide change is going to happen, said Jonah, it will have to grow out of respect and cooperation at all levels of the church. "Hierarchy is only about responsibility, it's not all of this imperial nonsense," he said. "Thank God that we're Americans and we have cast that off. We don't need foreign despots. We are the only non-state Orthodox church. In other words, we are the only Orthodox church that does not exist under the thumb of a state -- either friendly or hostile. "So the church is our responsibility, personally and collectively, individually and corporately. What are you going to do with it?" … [Read more...]

This is another one of those "dual care" piercings because it's both an oral piercing and a lip piercing and you have to treat each end of the piercing separately, following two sets of aftercare instructions. Eating and drinking are (obviously) greatly affected during the first week or so of healing, and smoking is a big no-no. Clear alcohol and wine are ok, but the yeast in beer really irritates these piercings so it's best to steer clear.
Recommended starter jewelry is usually a 16 or 14 gauge labret stud. They'll have to pierce you with an extra long one at first, to accommodate the swelling you'll have in the first week or two. That swelling will slowly go down as you heal, and after about 6 weeks, if you haven't had any problems with it, you can go back to your piercer for a shorter bar. This *should* be a free service that is included in the price of the initial piercing. Ask before you get pierced, so you know for sure.
Average healing time (for a healthy non-smoker) is about 6 - 12 weeks, but complete internal healing can take as long as 6 months.

Two Goa ex-chief ministers, six ministers defeated

Panaji, March 6 (IANS) Two former Goa chief ministers of the Congress were among the key losers along with six sitting cabinet ministers of the party-led government, as results for the March 3 assembly poll were declared Tuesday.
Chief Minister Digambar Kamat and former chief minister and ex-speaker Pratapsing Rane were the key winners for the Congress.
Among the key Congress candidates to lose the polls were Home Minister Ravi Naik (Ponda) and Public Works Department Minister Churchill Alemao (Navelim), both former chief ministers.
The list of defeated nominees included Power Minister Aleixo Sequeira (Nuvem), Urban Development Minister Joaquim Alemao (Cuncolim), Forest Minister Filipe Neri (Velim) and Babu Azgaonkar (Pernem), all from the Congress.
The two Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) ministers, Jose Philip D'Souza (Vasco) and Nilkanth Halarnkar (Thivim), have lost the polls.
Scions of the mining baron Anil Salgaonkar, Arjun (Sanvordem), who contested as an independent, and Sameer (Mandrem), who contested on a Trinamool Congress ticket, also lost to their respective Bharatiya Janata Party rivals.
The NCP, which had three legislators in the 11th state legislative assembly, failed to open its account. The Trinamool Congress (TC), making its electoral debut in Goa, also failed to open its account despite contesting 20-plus seats.
The BJP, along with its alliance partner Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party, has won majority in the 40-member state assembly.

NEW ORLEANS -- San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver apologized Thursday for anti-gay comments he made to a comedian during Super Bowl media day, saying "that's not what I feel in my heart."
"I'm sorry if I offended anyone. They were very ugly comments," Culliver said during an hour-long media session. "Hopefully I learn and grow from this experience and this situation."
He said he would welcome a gay teammate to the 49ers, a reversal of his remarks to Artie Lange two days earlier during an interview at the Superdome.
"I treat everyone equal," Culliver said. "That's not how I feel."
He added that he realized his comments were especially offensive to many people in San Francisco and the Bay Area, which is home to a large gay community.
"I love San Francisco," Culliver said.
During the interview with Lange, Culliver responded to questions by saying he wouldn't welcome a gay player in the locker room. He also said the 49ers didn't have any gay players, and if they did those players should leave.
San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh met privately with Culliver to discuss the remarks.
"I reject what he said," Harbaugh said. "That's not something that reflects the way the organization feels, the way the rest of the players feel."
The coach would not discuss if Culliver would face discipline from the team, such as a fine or loss of playing time.
"He pledged to grow from it," Harbaugh said.
The interview began with Lange asking Culliver about his sexual plans with women during Super Bowl week. Lange followed up with a question about whether Culliver would consider pursuing a gay man.
"I don't do the gay guys, man. I don't do that," Culliver said during the one-minute taped interview. "Ain't got no gay people on the team. They gotta get up outta here if they do. Can't be with that sweet stuff."
Lange asked Culliver to reiterate his thoughts, to which the player said, "It's true." He added he wouldn't welcome a gay teammate -- no matter how talented.
"Nah. Can't be ... in the locker room, nah," he said. "You've gotta come out 10 years later after that."
The 24-year-old Culliver, a third-round draft pick in 2011 out of South Carolina, made 47 tackles with two interceptions and a forced fumble this season while starting six games for the NFC champion Niners (13-4-1).
He had his first career post-season interception in San Francisco's 28-24 win at Atlanta for the NFC title, which sent the 49ers to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1995. They will face the AFC champion Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
The 49ers participate in the NFL's "It Gets Better" anti-bullying campaign. Three organizations working for LGBT inclusion in sports -- Athlete Ally, You Can Play, and GLAAD -- reacted to Culliver's remarks and later acknowledged his apology.
"Chris Culliver's comments were disrespectful, discriminatory and dangerous, particularly for the young people who look up to him," said Athlete Ally Executive Director Hudson Taylor. "His words underscore the importance of the athlete ally movement and the key role that professional athletes play in shaping an athletic climate that affirms and includes gay and lesbian players."
Calling Lange's questions "real disrespectful," Culliver said he realized he was speaking to a comedian and not a journalist.
"That was pretty much in a joking manner," the player said. "It's nothing about how I feel."
Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo, who made headlines this season with his vocal support of a gay-marriage initiative in Maryland, said Culliver's comments to Lange were reflective of how many players in the NFL feel, even if they don't express it publicly. He hopes the 49ers cornerback will learn from this experience and become a positive role model in the quest for equality.
"You can't fight hate with hate," Ayanbadejo said. "You've got to fight hate with love."
Baltimore safety Bernard Pollard said Culliver should be allowed to express his views, even if some people found them offensive.
"The guy's entitled to his own opinion," said Pollard, who has acknowledged that he disagrees with Ayanbadejo's stand on gay marriage. "I'm not going to sit here and knock him. I'm not going to sit here and judge him. It's freedom of speech. If you don't like it, don't listen to it."

First service of HedgeChurch held in Leominster bar
6:02am Tuesday 8th April 2014 in News
L-r: Hilary Coombes, pagan, the Rev Mark Townsend, Simon Mapp and Richard Britton, Christian, and Tig Savage, pagan, after the first 'Hedge-Mass' at Shooters Bar, Leominster.
A LEOMINSTER bar hosted its first church service last weekend.
Between 40 and 50 people attended the first "physical" meeting of the HedgeChurch at Shooters Bar on Sunday.
Designed to be a "base" between Christians who have felt marginalised and those with more pagan beliefs, the Rev Mark Townsend's HedgeChurch has had a popular online following for years.
But recently congregation members suggested holding a service in a more "physical" place, cue Shooters Bar.
Mr Townsend, from Leominster, said: "Everybody who came was so delighted and moved by the experience. One lady, who just happened to see a couple on their way to it and decided to join them, found it especially healing. She'd been recently bereaved and it gave her a real boost of comfort and blessing. Every age was represented and most people stayed a long time afterwards for a drink and a chat.
"Wayne and Debs of Shooters, and all their staff, were so hospitable and generous. We are extremely grateful to them for allowing us to hold Mas-Church in their bar."
Mr Townsend has been an independent priest since June 2011, after he felt constrained by the Church of England.
The service at Shooters was co-lead by four other "clergy" – two Christians and two pagans.
There were three altars with candles lit and filled with symbols including a central Christian altar for the mass, a Buddha altar and a nature/druid/pagan altar.?
"I was delighted by the experience and thrilled that so many people found it beautiful. I see it as one small glimpse of how spiritual and religious traditions can co-exist and gain from light and magic from each other," Mr Townsend added.
The next service is to take place at Shooters Bar on Sunday May 4 at 10.30am.
