I was riding my bicycle yesterday on my way to work when I came across the above sharrows. They're on W 23rd Ave between Quitman St and Stuart St. I am significantly disappointed in the placement of these.
What's wrong you ask? Sharrows are intended to provide guidance to cyclists regarding best lane positioning. The placement of these sharrows would seem to encourage riding into parked cars. Notice the car on the left which is parked on top of a sharrow.
Denver has a 3-1-1 website which you can post these types of issues. I reported it and took this photo to demonstrate the issue. 3-1-1 is very good about providing responses. Here's the response I received:
Hi Mike,
Unfortunately our crews placed the sharrows on W. 23rd Ave. between Stuart and Quitman in the wrong location. The road narrows considerably and they must not have seen there was parking in these 2 narrow blocks. I've copied the pavement markings supervisor so he can advise whether or not the problem can be corrected.
Look, I get it. People make mistakes. I'm just upset the mistake was made with thermoplastic on fresh asphalt. Now someone's going to have to come out, grind up the pavement to remove the markings and place them further out into the road out of the parking lane. This isn't the first road I've seen the mistakes made on. There's a portion of Logan St with sharrows where it is quite obvious the same mistake was made.
Hopefully I can post a followup post in a couple weeks with better placement.
Still fuzzy on what sharrows are? Read my previous post with some words on sharrows.

Weight Watchers Meetings Monthly Pass Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Weight Watchers Meetings Monthly Pass is an inexpensive option for Weight Watchers meetings. The pass is sold online and covers unlimited meetings in the given month. Dieters also gain access to online Weight Watchers tools. At the beginning of each month, the dieter must purchase a new monthly pass. Dieters may notice two payments in the first month. The payment for the following month is charged 15 days before the due date. Weight Watchers then sends out a new card for the next month. This means the charges are recurring and must be cancelled well in advance to prevent next month's charge.
List of Ingredients
Monthly pass to Weight Watchers meetings.
Product Features
Many dieters choose to pay for Weight Watchers meetings on a weekly basis. This is a good option if money is tight, but dieters can easily choose not to attend meetings and quickly fall off the program. The Weight Watchers Meetings Monthly Pass ensures the dieter sticks to meetings by giving them unlimited access. The dieter can choose to attend more than one meeting a week, even daily meetings are supported, if available in a given area.
The fee for the monthly pass is recurring, so the dieter will be charged monthly for meeting access. We assume the dieter can cancel the membership from the official website or by calling the billing department. If the dieter cancels the monthly pass, they will lose access to online tools and any information logged on the Weight Watchers website.
Temporary cards are available from the user menu on the Weight Watchers site. The user must click the Profile link to access an image of the card. If the new month's card does not arrive in time for the next meeting, this pass will be accepted.
The Weight Watchers Meetings Monthly Pass is not available in all areas. The cost in participating areas is $40 a month. Each meeting costs about $10 to $12 a month.
- The dieter never has to worry about missing a meeting.
- The cost is lower, in most cases, for a monthly pass.
- Online tools are free to access with a Weight Watchers Meetings monthly pass.
- The bill for a monthly pass is recurring.
- Dieters may not attend enough meetings to pay for the pass.
Weight Watchers is a proven weight loss program that comes with weekly local meetings. The dieter can choose to pay for each meeting at the time of the meeting or select a Weight Watchers Meetings Monthly Pass. The monthly pass offers the dieter access to unlimited meetings, which saves a lot of money if the dieter plans on attending more than one meeting a week.

After violence at Elliot Hospital, Manchester aldermen call on state to allocate funds for urgent mental health care
The vote at Tuesday's meeting came as a local man, Fern Ornelas, 54, remains in a Boston hospital with possible paralysis. Following an altercation with a security guard at Elliot Hospital, Ornelas was arrested and at some point while in custody suffered a broken neck. He had gone to the Elliot for psychiatric care.
Alderman At-Large Dan O'Neil said there had been enough debate about the shortage in mental health funding; something has to be done "immediately."
Alderman At-Large Joe Kelly Levasseur said the Elliot should do more to fund security. "The Elliot should have something for the community. They don't pay us any property taxes," he said.

Reviews for Holiday Brunch Casserole
Sort By :
Love this casserole and so did everyone at my church social time after church. I baked it 45 to 50 min. with great success. I used ham instead of sausage and bacon and chopped green chilies instead of green peppers. It is great to be able to do the mixing the night before so all I had to do was take it to church and pop it in the over during the service.
Made just as recipe says. Delicious! Will definitely make again. Made Christmas morning easy and relaxing!
I do not recommend this recipe. My family did not eat. They are all adults.
Oh my gosh, made this last night for the office holiday potluck this morning. The dish is totally gone! Everyone marveled about it. I did substitute seasoned salt for the regular salt, added pepper, didn't have green onions and used a half of a yellow onion. I couldn't find the low-fat Bisquick and used Hungry Jack buttermilk pancake mix instead. I baked it for about 40 minutes. I'm definitely making this again for Christmas morning for the family.
made this for Christmas morning last year, was such a hit I had to make it for New Years Day also for a big family brunch - went fast. Am making again this year, may need to make 2 to keep everyone happy

There are three new covers for this go round (probably more than that out new, but I haven't started today's hunting expedition yet), and two of them are versions of Ever After. This first one is called, well, Ever After. It is from Kim Harrison's The Hollows series, due out in hardcover on January 22nd.
And this second one is called…Enchanted Ever After. It is part of Robin D. Owens' Mystic Circle series, and it is scheduled for release on December 18th.
This third one has nothing to do with ever or after, but I thought I might as well toss it into the mix. The second book from Michelle Rowen's Nightwatchers series sort of misses the fun, funky feel of the first book for me. That one had a whole Elvis vibe going on that I liked, but here I think if her face was less pink, it would have worked better. Wicked Kiss will be released on February 26th.

You Decide: Too Cute? Or Ewww, Brute?
Pet lovers take heed! The brand new Cute or Not pet rating widget is now available at recycler.com! Check it out for some endless fun, or to even put this fun widget right on your own webpage to help these amazing creatures fine homes!
← Play Now!
Ever see a cute little dog or cat that just melts your face with cuteness? Makes you want to vomit from over-adorableness? Makes you go "d'awwww" as you obliviously pour hot coffee all over your distracted, distracted self?
How about one that makes you cringe and wonder how such a creature could have been created by evolution or an omnipotent being? Makes you question how anyone could love such despicable beast, as your eyes search to find anything to focus on besides the face of that abomination, but just like a car accident you can't—you just can't look away!
Sure, for the cute ones you'll gush maudlin praise in your woopy-foopy voice. But you have to fake a smile when around the ugly ones and their owners, using ambivalent adjectives when asked your opinion, like "breathtaking" (Seinfeld, anyone? No? OK). Well, not with this game!
Here at recycler we love ALL pets—cute or…not. But we wanted a way to measure an animal's cuteness, heretofore referred to as Official Cute Score (OCS). This is where you come in.
We have piled all the cute (or not) little pet mug shots into one place and are giving you the chance to peruse each one, ranking just how cute (or not) you think they are! Give us your opinion and directly affect thousands of animals' OCS. If you see a cute one, give it five stars. If you see a not-so-cute one, give it just one. When you choose, the next pet will load automatically for you to rate. And each pet's current rating will appear above the pet's photo.
Sure…this is totally shallow, but it's completely anonymous and wickedly fun!
Can you think of a better way to spend your workday than browsing the pet photos, rating the OCS of each critter?¹
Check it out and spread the word. Share this new feature on facebook and twitter, or put the widget right on your own website (Get this Widget Now)! Have some fun and help these pets find homes at the same time! And if you see one that is just too cute for any rating system to give proper justice — click on the Adopt Me! button to learn how to take that off-the-chart-adorable pet home!
Go ahead; start rating!
¹ The recycler does not condone work avoidance and takes no responsibility or liability for any boss-related static received if hours are spent rating pets. Come on, if you can't be sneaky with it, then you deserve whatever punishment you get.

Ecology, Capitalism, and the Socialization of Nature: An Interview with John Bellamy Foster
DENNIS SORON: Many environmentalists came away from the Rio Earth Summit in 1992 with a great deal of optimism, believing that the cause of global environmental reform had finally been seriously placed on the political agenda. Today, with environmental conditions continuing to worsen and governments refusing to take effective action, it seems that little of this optimism remains. Why did the hopes spawned at Rio turn out to be so misplaced? … | more |
The American Empire: Pax Americana or Pox Americana?
On June 10, 1963, President John F. Kennedy delivered a commencement address at American University in Washington, D.C., in which he declared that the peace that the United States sought was "not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war." His remarks were a response to criticisms of the United States advanced in a recently published Soviet text on military strategy. Kennedy dismissed the charge that "American imperialist circles" were "preparing to unleash different kinds of wars" including "preventative war." The Soviet text, he pointed out, had stated, "The political aims of American imperialists were and still are to enslave economically and politically the European and other capitalist countries and, after the latter are transformed into obedient tools, to unify them in various military-political blocs and groups directed against the socialist countries. The main aim of all this is to achieve world domination." In Kennedy's words, these were "wholly baseless and incredible claims," the work of Marxist "propagandists." "The United States, as the world knows, will never start a war." … | more |
An indication of just how bad things have become for the U.S. invaders and occupiers of Iraq is that comparisons with the Vietnam War are now commonplace in the U.S. media. In a desperate attempt to put a stop to this, President Bush intimated on April 13, in one of his rare press conferences, that the mere mention of the Vietnam analogy in relation to the present war was unpatriotic and constituted a betrayal of the troops. Yet the question remains and seems to haunt the U.S. occupation of Iraq: To what extent has Iraq become another "Vietnam" for American imperialism? … | more |
The Pentagon and Climate Change
Abrupt climate change has been a growing topic of concern for about a decade for climate scientists, who fear that global warming could shut down the ocean conveyer that warms the North Atlantic, plunging Europe and parts of North America into Siberian-like conditions within a few decades or even years. But it was only with the recent appearance of a Pentagon report on the possible social effects-in terms of instability and war-of abrupt climate change that it riveted public attention. As the Observer (February 22) put it, "Climate change over the next 20 years could result in global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters." … | more |
Except in times of war, capitalist economies almost never reach full employment. The mere absence of jobs for those desiring paid employment, however, is not necessarily a problem for the ruling economic interests. Unemployment and the underutilization of labor more generally—the existence of what Marx called the industrial reserve army of labor—is a necessary part of a capitalist economy, since it keeps wages low as workers are forced to compete with each other for jobs. This becomes a serious problem for the system or for the political structure when the shortfall in employment coincides with a deeper structural crisis; when aggregate demand and thus investment opportunities are hindered by low employment and low wages; and when a shortage of jobs creates a political problem, sometimes even igniting popular opposition at the grassroots of society. All three of these contradictions are apparent in 2004, setting the stage for a national debate on the question of jobs, which more than three years since the beginning of the 2001 recession is now suddenly a front page story… | more |
The Escalating War Against Corporate Media
A recurring issue for the left historically has been how to address the capitalist media. In recent years the problem has grown ever more severe, and no small amount of attention has been given to examining the problems of the commercial media and how closely they reinforce and accentuate problems within the broader social order. The logic of this criticism has become clear: progressives need to work on challenging the corporate domination of media as part of the broader struggle for social justice. If changing media is left until "after the revolution," there will be no revolution, not to mention fewer chances for social reform. But politicizing control over media has proven to be extraordinarily difficult for activists. That is why the massive and largely unanticipated 2003 campaign in the United States to stop further media concentration, which almost overnight reached a scale not seen in media reform struggles since the 1930s, is so important and instructive. This article chronicles that revolt… | more |
A Precarious Existence: The Fate of Billions?
The number of people living a precarious existence has been increasing in many countries of the world, with hunger all too widespread. There are approximately 6 billion people in the world, with about half living in cities and half in rural areas. Between the poor living in cities and those in rural areas, a vast number of the world's people live under very harsh conditions. It is estimated that that about half of the world's population lives on less than two dollars per day, with most of those either chronically malnourished or continually concerned with where their next meal will come from. Many have no access to clean water (1 billion), electricity (2 billion), or sanitation (2.5 billion)… | more |
Cuba: The Next Forty-Five Years?
This year Cuba will be celebrating the forty-fifth anniversary of its victorious revolution: a great historic achievement. And when we bear in mind that the Cuban revolution—the long sustained action of a nation of just eleven million people—survived for forty-five years against all odds, successfully confronting the declared enmity, the U.S.-dictated international political encirclement and economic blockade, as well as the ever renewed attempts to subvert and overthrow the post-revolutionary order by the world's most preponderant economic and military power, even this simple fact puts forcefully into relief the magnitude and the lasting significance of the ongoing Cuban intervention in the historical process of our time. We are all contemporaries to an achievement whose reverberations reach well beyond the confines of the tendentiously propagandized "American Hemisphere," offering its hopeful message to the rest of the world… | more |
Notes from the Editors, December 2003
On October 27, 2003, the New York Times ran a guest column on its Op-Ed page by David L. Kirp entitled "How Much for That Professor?" The piece, which was about universities spending big bucks to get professors with star power, focused in its opening and closing paragraphs on the case of Niall Ferguson, described as "the most widely discussed and controversial British historian of his generation." Last winter, New York University successfully recruited Ferguson away from Oxford University with promises of big money and reduced teaching responsibilities. Barely six months later Harvard lured Ferguson away from New York University with an offer of even bigger rewards… | more |
U.S. Hegemony: Continuing Decline, Enduring Danger
"Global hegemony" might be defined as a situation in which one nation-state plays a predominant role in organizing, regulating, and stabilizing the world political economy. The use of armed force has always been an inseparable part of hegemony, but military power depends upon the economic resources at the disposal of the state. It cannot be deployed to answer every threat to geopolitical and economic interests, and it raises the danger of imperial overreach, as was the case for Britain in South Africa (1899–1902) and the United States in Vietnam (1962–1975)… | more |
Kipling, the 'White Man's Burden,' and U.s. Imperialism
We are living in a period in which the rhetoric of empire knows few bounds. In a special report on "America and Empire" in August, the London-based Economist magazine asked whether the United States would, in the event of "regime changes…effected peacefully" in Iran and Syria, "really be prepared to shoulder the white man's burden across the Middle East?" The answer it gave was that this was "unlikely"—the U.S. commitment to empire did not go so far. What is significant, however, is that the question was asked at all… | more |
World Poverty, Pauperization and Capital Accumulation
A discourse on poverty and the necessity of reducing its magnitude, if not eradicating it, has become fashionable today. It is a discourse of charity, in the nineteenth-century-style, which is does not seek to understand the economic and social mechanisms that generate poverty, although the scientific and technological means to eradicate it are now available… | more |
Capitalism as a World Economy: An Interview with Harry Magdoff
Harry Magdoff sat down to talk in front of a video camera in April 2003, three weeks before the conference "Imperialism Today" sponsored by Monthly Review in honor of his ninetieth birthday. An edited version of his remarks would be shown on a large screen at the start of the conference. But Harry has much to say that will be left on the cutting room floor, not because it lacks relevance, but because the time for the video is short, and a good portion of it will be devoted to how he became a socialist. Here, then, are Harry's thoughts on capitalism, imperialism, the United States—and Iraq. (Note: the transcript of the interview was edited in July 2003 under Harry's supervision to fill in a number of details.)… | more |
If we learn nothing else from the war on Iraq and its subsequent occupation, it is that the U.S. ruling class has learned to make ideological warfare as important to its operations as military and economic warfare. A crucial component of this ideological war has been the campaign against "left-wing media bias," with the objective of reducing or eliminating the prospect that mainstream U.S. journalism might be at all critical toward elite interests or the system set up to serve those interests. In 2001 and 2002, no less than three books purporting to demonstrate the media's leftward tilt rested high atop the bestseller list. Such charges have already influenced media content, pushing journalists to be less critical of right-wing politics. The result has been to reinforce the corporate and rightist bias already built into the media system… | more |
On November 11, 2000, Richard Haass—a member of the National Security Council and special assistant to the president under the elder Bush, soon to be appointed director of policy planning in the state department of newly elected President George W. Bush—delivered a paper in Atlanta entitled "Imperial America." For the United States to succeed at its objective of global preeminence, he declared, it would be necessary for Americans to "re-conceive their role from a traditional nation-state to an imperial power." Haass eschewed the term "imperialist" in describing America's role, preferring "imperial," since the former connoted "exploitation, normally for commercial ends," and "territorial control." Nevertheless, the intent was perfectly clear: … | more |
Only a few years ago it was widely suggested that the capitalist economy had entered a new economic era. The rapid economic growth experienced during the brief period of the late 1990s, we were told, would become virtually endless, spurred on by rising productivity led by high-technology and the New Economy. The circumstances that now confront us following the bursting of the speculative bubble could not be more different. The country is once again mired in economic stagnation. In the present "recovery"—if indeed we can call it that—new jobs remain few and far between. Of the four sources of demand that create economic activity—personal consumption, business investment, government spending, and net exports—it is mainly consumption, backed by increasing debt, that is currently keeping the economy from slipping deeper into stagnation. Indeed, many business leaders and economists fear the return of recession—referred to as the likelihood of a "double dip." Behind this fear lies excess capacity in almost every industry, the absence of new growth stimuli, slow growth or recession in most of the rest of the world, and the aftereffects of the bursting of the speculative stock market bubble. All of this suggests that there is more at stake than the traditional business cycle. At the very least, there is reason to expect the continuation of the tendency of stagnation… | more |
For a long time now it has been widely understood within economics that under the capitalism of giant firms, corporations no longer compete primarily through price competition. They engage instead in what economists call "monopolistic competition." This consists chiefly of attempts to create monopoly positions for a particular brand, making it possible for corporations to charge more for the branded product while also expanding their market share. Competition is most intense in what Thorstein Veblen called the "production of salable appearances," involving advertising, frequent model changes, branding of products, and the like. Once this logic takes over in twentieth and now twenty-first century capitalism it is seemingly unstoppable. All human needs, relationships and fears, the deepest recesses of the human psyche, become mere means for the expansion of the commodity universe under the force of modern marketing. With the rise to prominence of modern marketing, commercialism—the translation of human relations into commodity relations—although a phenomenon intrinsic to capitalism, has expanded exponentially… | more |
The People of Vieques, Puerto Rico vs. the United States Navy
On April 19, 1999, two F-18 jets mistook the navy's red-and-white checked observation post on the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico for a target, and dropped 500 pound bombs on it. Vieques resident David Sanes was working at the observation post as a security guard for the navy. He was killed almost instantly. Three other men from Vieques were seriously injured. Sanes' death sparked a wave of protest—civil disobedience, marches, petitions, resolutions, and lobbying—which resulted in the promise, made by then U.S. President Clinton and reiterated by his successor, that the navy will leave Vieques by May 2003. The navy says these plans will not be affected by war on Iraq. As veterans of earlier navy promises, the Viequenses, and the people of Puerto Rico, are wary… | more |
A Planetary Defeat: The Failure of Global Environmental Reform
The first Earth Summit in Rio de janeiro, Brazil in 1992 generated hopes that the world would at long last address its global ecological prob- lems and introduce a process of sustainable development. Now, with a second summit being held ten years later in johannesburg, that dream has to a large extent faded. Even the principal supporters of this process have made it clear that they do not expect much to be achieved as a result of the johannesburg summit, which is likely to go down in history as an absolute failure. We need to ask ourselves why.
The first reason is perhaps the most obvious, at least to environmen- talists. The decade between Rio and johannesburg has seen the almost complete failure of the Rio Earth Summit and its Agenda 21 to produce meaningful results. This has highlighted the weaknesses of global envi- ronmental summitry… | more |
U.S. Imperial Ambitions and Iraq
Officially Washington's current policy toward Iraq is to bring about a "regime change"—either through a military coup, or by means of a U.S. invasion, justified as a "preemptive attack" against a rogue state bent on developing and deploying weapons of mass destruction.* But a U.S. invasion, should it take place, would not confine its objectives to mere regime change in Baghdad. The larger goal would be nothing less than the global projection of U.S. power through assertion of American dominance over the entire Middle East. What the world is now facing therefore is the prospect of a major new development in the history of imperialism… | more |

Pro Sound 2000 Amplified Computer Speakers - White Inland Pro Sound 2000 Amplified Speakers, Color: White, Output: 7.2 W RMS, Frequency Response: 70 Hz~20 KHz, Woofer Size: 3.5 ,
I needed some white computer speakers to attach to our white LCD TV in the kitchen. The wife hates mismatched colors and will not abide anything black. These speakers play loudly and clearly enough to be heard over ambient noises, such as a running tap, and do not have a wall-wart! They are not hi-fidelity of course and lack deep bass but for certain applications they are excellent. White computer speakers are not easy to find, and the price was very reasonable.

I had the delivery stopped because I didn't like the paper in my driveway (along with the blue bag) and I couldn't stop it with the mail when I'm away. I like walking up to the store to get the paper anyway. I would consider home delivery but only when it goes to mail, not before.

The 2013 Olde Tyme Harvest may be over, but support for Canadian Foodgrains Bank keeps coming in.
At the wrap-up for the event, a total of $18,000 was added to the total of $125,000 raised last year at the event in Langenburg, Sask.
"We're pleased to be able to add to what we raised last August," says organizer Warren Kaeding. "It's a great ending to a great experience."
During the event, held August 24, 2013, a new world record was set with 41 antique threshing machines operating at the same time. A crowd of over 5,000 people came to watch the setting of the new record, and to raise funds for the Foodgrains Bank.
The event was made possible through the efforts of over 400 volunteers, together with the support from 118 corporate, community, church and individual sponsors.
The $143,000 raised at the Olde Tyme Harvest is being used by the Foodgrains Bank in its food assistance programs in the developing world.
Once given to the Foodgrains Bank, the funds were used for food security or emergency feeding programs, depending on where they were needed most. The Government of Canada matches funds used by the Foodgrains Bank two-to-one for food security programs, and four-to-one for emergency feeding programs.
"We continue to be grateful to everyone who made the Olde Tyme Harvest a success," says John Longhurst, who directs Resources and Public Engagement for the Foodgrains Bank. "Because of their hard work, thousands of people have food to eat and the hope for better lives."

Today's look at the secondary marks the conclusion of the Florida State spring football series. The 'Noles had the sixth best defense nationally in 2011, and the best in the conference. An incredible 22 of the top 25 defenders return, which justifies the sky-high expectations. Previous installments Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver & Tight End | Defensive Line | Linebacker
Goodbye: The major loss at this position is Mike Harris, who played about as many snaps as any other cornerback last season, including Reid and Rhodes.
Out With Injury: Florida State's top cornerback, Xavier Rhodes, is out for spring with a knee injury. This actually might be a good thing, as there is a school of thought that Rhodes would have turned pro had he been healthy for the combine and pro day. Rhodes is a top-70 draft choice next year if he again produces like he did as a redshirt freshman or sophomore.
With Rhodes out, the top returning corner is Greg Reid. Reid plays the field position, as opposed to the boundary which is manned by Rhodes. Reid seemed to grow up a bit last year, took fewer chances, and seemed to do a better job of dealing with his lack of height. Can Greg Reid get much better? I'm not so sure. But you could do a lot worse for the field corner position.
Replacing Rhodes this spring is Keelin Smith, a red-shirt freshman from Port St. Lucie. At 6'3" and 185 pounds, he has the length that defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach Mark Stoops is looking for in his boundary corners. This experience will be quite valuable for Smith, who is in line to take over for Rhodes if the red-shirt junior jumps for the NFL after 2012, as expected. That Smith is still at corner, and not at safety, is a good sign for FSU as the 'Noles were one of the few teams who believed Smith could play the position as opposed to having to move to safety because of his height. FSU has a defense that is a solid fit for boundary corners of this size.
The new jack of all trades is Tyler Hunter. A sophomore from Valdosta, Hunter has a ton of talent. He'll take Mike Harris' role of nickelback, but also take over Terrence Brooks' role from 2011 of backup safety (backing up Lamarcus Joyner). I fully expect the 6'0" 200 pound Hunter to play 400+ snaps this season. His ability in the nickel position is a big boost to FSU because of his work against the run from the slot. Unless, of course, Brooks drops down to the slot in nickel and Williams plays safety.
Working at reserve field corner is sophomore Nick Waisome. Waisome is a bit on the small side at 5'9" and 176 pounds, but he does have good instincts and was highly rated coming out of high school. Waisome went through spring last year as an early enrollee, and should be familiar with the process.
Arriving in the fall: Ronald Darby, Colin Blake and P.J. Williams. The latter two may end up at safety, though they could also play field corner.
Gone: Terrance Parks & Nick Moody. Parks graduated after a decent, but unspectacular career. Moody moved to strong-side linebacker and would have likely been beaten out by Terrance Brooks.
The star of this group is Lamarcus Joyner. The 5'8, 193 pound beast is one of the best safeties in the country. Joyner has incredible range, great instincts, perhaps the best closing speed in the country, is a sure tackler, etc. If not for his size, he'd be a surefire first round pick as an early entry. I wrote last year, before the season started, that Joyner is the most valuable player to Florida State's defense. And I was definitely right. I'm not so sure that is the case any more. It has nothing to do with Joyner's play, but rather depth at other positions and the increased depth at the safety position. Joyner's ability and versatility take this defense to another level.
At the other safety position is Terrence Brooks. Brooks is a talented junior from Dunellon who originally played some cornerback. Like Joyner, the 5'11" 195 pound Brooks has excellent range and has showed very good instincts in limited duty, including an interception and several other plays in the bowl game. Brooks is also a good tackler.
At this point, you may be wondering about the ability for FSU to stop the run with two sub-200 pound safeties. First, I do believe Brooks is over 200 pounds. Second, don't worry. FSU's front seven is excellent against the run because it is huge and strong.
Backing up Brooks and attempting to take his job is Karlos Williams, a five-star recruit. I should note, as I have in the past, that Williams would have also been a five-star athlete recruit or a five-star receiver recruit. He was asked to move positions in the off-season, to offense, but declined because he said he felt comfortable in Mark Stoops' scheme. Williams is an incredible athlete, perhaps the best FSU has had in some time. But there is also more to playing defense than athleticism. Instincts and mentality matter, and that is one of the reasons Brooks is ahead of Williams. I would not be surprised if Williams is able to overtake Brooks, because both players have excellent talent. But I also think the 6'2" 225 pound Williams would be better used on offense. Also, I want to note again that Williams should have found a way to get in for spring 2011.
Other players: Justin Bright (rs-jr), Gerald Demps (rs-jr) and Lamarcus Brutus (rs-fr). I don't see Bright or Demps making an impact, and am undecided on Brutus. There's a chance 2012 is the final season for Bright and Demps, as both will graduate in the next two semesters.

If you've seen Iron Man 3, you know that – SPOILER ALERT!!!! – billionaire inventor Tony Stark reveals dozens of specialized Iron Man power suits. As fantastic as the suits are, the technology Stark likely uses to make them is not far removed from reality – and neither are the big questions that such technology raises.
I'm not talking about the technology in the suit (no one has built an arc reactor – yet). I'm talking about the tech Stark used to make the suit. Stark has become so obsessed with tinkering that he can't stop modifying the suits and making new ones. Something makers everywhere can identify with.
Two terms that get thrown around a lot are "3-D printing" and "additive manufacturing." The mechanisms behind these approaches are very different, but the concepts are more or less the same: creating three-dimensional objects of almost any design out of a raw material. The difference, to the extent there is one, is that 3-D printing tends to refer to making objects out of polymers, whereas additive manufacturing often refers to making objects out of metallic powder.
These technologies, creating prototypes seemingly from thin air, are what you'd expect to find in Stark's lab. But increasingly, these technologies can be found in basements, garages and other workspaces of amateur inventors. The ability to turn a concept into a prototype is no longer solely the realm of comic-book billionaires.
This creates ethical dilemmas for the inventor. For example, should some ideas not become realities? In the Iron Man comics, Dr. Doom and other villains use Stark's technology to hurt people and advance their evil purposes – which was not Stark's intent at all.
In recent weeks, news reports have drawn attention to a man in Texas who used 3-D printing to create a gun, which he then successfully fired. Using 3-D printing to create guns would make obtaining a firearm virtually untraceable – anyone with a 3-D printer could make one, and a 3-D printer can be had for a few hundred dollars. And, as of May 9, it was reported that plans for the 3-D printable gun had been downloaded more than 100,000 times.
Will the technology be used for nefarious purposes? No one knows, but that is a question that merits consideration.
At the same time, it is important to acknowledge what 3-D printing technology means for innovation. It is not only being used to create untraceable guns – it has enormous potential.
University researchers use it to create everything from aircraft parts to prosthetic implants. Entrepreneurs can create the models they need to test new concepts or attract investors.
The White House has made additive manufacturing a priority for a reason. This is a tool that could significantly advance the way we pursue ideas.
We just have to be at least as smart as Tony Stark about how we do it.
Note: Many thanks to Suveen Mathaudhu, for talking with me about 3-D printing, additive manufacturing and all things Iron Man. Mathaudhu is a program manager in the materials science division of the U.S. Army Research Office, an adjunct materials science professor at NC State University and a hardcore comics fan.

The Profession of Faith
The Eucharist
Life in Christ
Church History
Pope John Paul II
is the formal separation from the unity of the Church. It is marked by
a rejection of the Pope's authority and refusal to communicate with faithful
members of the Church. Schism (separation from the Church) differs from
(denial of a truth of faith). Generally, however, Schism leads to heresy.
Moreover, since the infallibility of the Pope is a truth of faith, schism
virtually includes heresy, since schism involves rejection of papal authority.
Schismatic priests can say Mass validly, and their bishops can confirm and ordain. But they lose all their ordinary jurisdiction, including the power to absolve, excommunicate, and grant indulgences.
Formal schism is a grievous sin and those guilty of it are, by that very fact, excommunicated. However, those born and brought up in a schismatic faith are schismatics only in an improper sense (material schismatics), because they do not knowlingly cut themselves off from the true Church.
Eastern Schism
The Eastern Schism was the break in Christian Unity which resulted in the formation of what is known today as the Orthodox Eastern Church. The beginning of the break was traced to the year 857, when Ignatius, the Partiarch of Constantinople, was forced to resign, due to the machinations of Caesar Bardus, the emperor's uncle and guardian. Photius, a learned layman, was chosen to replace Ignatius; and was ordained and consecrated. He proved unacceptable to former partisans of Ignatius; and though two papal legates approved his election, the pope was led to reject their testimony.
Confirmed as Patriarch by a Council at Constantinople in 861, Photius began agitating against the Western Church, condemning celibacy and other usages of the Latins, and charging that the addition of the word "Filioque" to the Nicene Creed was heretical. He was deposed and anathematized in 869 by the Council of Constantinople, and Ignatius was was reinstated as Patriarch.
After the death of Ignatius, Photius re-assumed the patriarchate and was confirmed in this by a synod of 879-880. This Council reversed the decision of that of 869; and its findings were ratified by Pope John VIII. Studies in the early 20th century suggest that, contrary to the traditional accounts, Photius was reconciled with the Western Church and died in communion with Rome.
However, the attack he had made on the West during his period of schism was revived in 1053 by the Patriarch Michael Cerularius. Cerularius was excommunicated in 1054, but succeeded in withdrawing the Oriental bishops from communion with the West. This schism was followed by the separation of the Russo-Greek Church in the 12th century.
The Councils of Lyons (1274) and Florence (1439) brought about formal reunion for brief periods; but various historical events tended to widen the breach, and in 1472 the council of Constantinople formally separated. Many of the Eastern Catholics, however, remained faithful to the union effected by the Council of Florence; and in 1595 the Union of Brest brought over 10,000,000 Eastern schismatics, mostly Slavs, back into communion with the Church.
In July of 2001 the Vatican issued Guidelines for admission to the Eucharist between the Chaldean Church and the Assyrian Church of the East stating in the opening address:
"Given the great distress of many Chaldean and Assyrian faithful, in their motherland and in the diaspora, impeding for many of them a normal sacramental life according to their own tradition, and in the ecumenical context of the bilateral dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Assyrian Church of the East, the request has been made to provide for admission to the Eucharist between the Chaldean Church and the Assyrian Church of the East."
"The request for admission to the Eucharist between the Chaldean Church and the Assyrian Church of the East is connected with the particular geographical and social situation in which their faithful are actually living. Due to various and sometimes dramatic circumstances, many Assyrian and Chaldean faithful left their motherlands and moved to the Middle East, Scandinavia, Western Europe, Australia and Northern America. As there cannot be a priest for every local community in such a widespread diaspora, numerous Chaldean and Assyrian faithful are confronted with a situation of pastoral necessity with regard to the administration of sacraments."
Western Schism
The western schism was a temporary conflict within the Church during the 14th and 15th centuries rather than a true schism and is also also known as The Great Schism. It was linked as the ambition of the French to re-establish the papal residence at Avignon in southern France and the determination of the Italians to keep it at Rome, where it had been established again by Gregory XI in 1370, after 65 years at Avignon.
In 1378 Urban VI, an Italian, was chosen to succeed Gregory, but three months after the election, the cardinals who had taken part in the election declared that they had been swayed by the riotously voiced preferences of the Roman people, and that the election of Urban had been invalid.
They thereupon elected Robert of Geneva who shortly afterward took up residence at Avignon. The conflict continued for 40 years, with Spain, Naples, Provence and Scotland supporting the Avignon popes, and the rest of Europe backing Urban and his successors. The schism was ended by the Council of Constance (1414-1418), which elected Martin V as pope. Both parties probably acted in good faith, but it is now believed that the Apostolic Succession was continued only in the Urbanist Popes.
The Reformation
This was a period of distastrous religious and political upheaval which swept Europe in the 16th century, cutting off millions of souls from communion with the Church, breaking the spiritual bond which had previously united the countries of Europe, and replacing the God-centred philosophy of the Catholic tradition with a selfish, naturalistic philosophy of man.
Among its causes were the weakening of papal authority due to the Great Western Schism, discussed above, and the conflict of the Popes with temporal monarchs; the growth of nationalism; the dissemination of various heretical doctrines, notably those of Catharism, Waldensianism, Hus and Wyclif; the indifferentism and sceptism which accompanied the Renaissance. These remote causes were implemented by the corruption, in Germany especially, of both the hierarchy and the lower clergy; the greed and ambition of secular rulers; and a general decline of spiritual life.
The doctrinal reforms proposed by Luther, an Augustinian friar, in 1517 provided the spring which started a catastrophic series of reactions. The Elector of Saxony and other princes championed Luther's heresy and his theological "system" was soon established as a state religion. From Germany Lutheranism spread to the Scandinavian countries.
The uxorious but fickle Henry VIII, king of England, rejected the letter of Lutheranism, but was moved by its spirit when, to legitimate his aldultery, he led the English people into schism. Under his son, Edward VI, the Mass was abolished and formal heresy imposed.
Meanwhile, the German-speaking section of Switzerland was evangelised by Zwingli, an apostate priest; the French cantons and, to some extent, France itself, fell under the influence of Calvin, whose doctrine was compounded by Lutheranism and misinterpretations of Saint Augustine.
The correction of actual abuses within the Church, which was the only credible motive of the reformers, was finally undertaken by the work of the Council of Trent, 1545-1563, and the Counter Reformation
Counter Reformation
Also known as the Catholic Reformation, this movement came about to remedy the religious and moral decline which had contributed to the Protestant schism. The Council of Trent set up a vast programme to restore religious discipline, revive faith, and check the growth of heresy. It was the principal organ of the movement but significant reform activity began some years before the opening of the Council and continued for more than a century.
The Theatines, founded in 1524, helped to reform the secular clergy, and the pious example of Barnabites (1530) led to the reform of a number of Italian dioceses. The Jesuits (1538), another new order, became one of the most powerful adjuncts of the movement by their asstounding zeal and efficiency. Other important instruments were the Holy Office and the Index of Forbidden Books, instituted respectively in 1542 and 1543.
The general reform of religious life outlined by the Council of Trent was undertaken by Pius V (1566-1572) and Gregory XIII (1572-1583). Pius revived discipline, promoted the circulation and use of the Tridentine catechism. Gregory initiated an intensive seminary programme, revitilising existing institutions and founding a number of new ones, and inveighed against simony of benefices (the buying and selling of things essentially spiritual - indulgences, sacramentals etc. - the name of which is attributed to Simon of Magus, a magician, who tried to buy the gifts of the Holy Spirit from Saint Peter).
Both Popes contributed to the reform of the Liturgy. Pius reformed the breviary (1568) and issued a new missal (1570), and Gregory instituted the pre-vatican II liturgical calendar. The period of the Counter Reformation is usually considered to have ended about the middle of the 17th century, when the fervour which marked the epochs of the Council and of the reform popes had declined.
Christian Unity
The origin of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity is closely linked with the Second Vatican Council. It was Pope John XXIII's desire that the involvement of the Catholic Church in the contemporary ecumenical movement be one of the Council's chief concerns. Thus, on 5 June 1960, he established a "Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity" as one of the preparatory commissions for the Council, and appointed Cardinal Augustin Bea as its first President. This was the first time that the Holy See had set up an office to deal uniquely with ecumenical affairs. To see what is happening in this area read the Vatican Documents on Christian Unity.
While the cause of Christian Unity is applaudable, its journey to date is certainly questionable. The changes within the Catholic Church over the past 40 years have been so great as to leave one wondering if, in fact, Catholics have not been worshipping under a stealthy and hidden form of heresy.
The Truths and Teachings of Christ have been altered, omitted and distorted in Scriptures, with numerous modern translations; the Canon of the Mass - the Traditional Mass which had stood the test of time since the early seventh century, has been altered beyond recognition; the reverence and respect of the Eucharist has been demolished; the belief in the true presence of the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ in the Eucharist has been weakened to the point of disbelief; and the numbers of Priests who no longer believe in Transubstantiation is disturbing.
In the name of Ecumenism, the Catholic Church is moving away from its Master's Legacy and the Apostolic Traditions and transforming itself into the very forms of worship and beliefs which gave rise to the heretical schisms in the first place. It's ironic that the Catholic Church, despite all of its scoundrels, scandals and misfits over almost two milennia, stayed firm to the true faith and doctrines passed down from Christ Himself through the Apostles, yet in the short space of just 40 years the foundations have almost crumbled as we move into an era of Protestantism within the Catholic Church itself.

As an old friend of mine used to say, "its' been a long time between drinks of water." Since my third blog came out on December 10, time has been taken up by many different issues and I failed to get into a groove with Al's Blog. In addition, my daughter Sam provided me with information that suggested that you should never use the word "blog" in a blog title so I decided to reformat a bit. The new header shows a background photo of "The Vanderberg Brothers" and the new blog title CASTING FOR COMMENTS. My Vanderberg forefathers were commercial fishermen in Lake Michigan and the North Sea in the Netherlands.
The success of our democratic institutions relies heavily on an informed and involved citizenry. Much as my ancestors for six generations plied the waters off Grand Haven, Muskegon and Ouwerkerk in Zeeland for fish to feed their families and others, CASTING FOR COMMENTS seeks food for thought – thoughtful comments and discussion to blog posts so that a learning community about County government can be created and maintained.
I intend to blog at least a couple of times per week unless I'm out of the office.

IOC, BPCL eyeing NCDEX membership
Pratim Ranjan Bose
Kolkata , June 19
Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) are preparing grounds to be broking and clearing members at National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX).
Aimed at directly taking positions on Brent crude and furnace oil, the move is expected to bring the much-needed liquidity boost at the energy futures market in India.
While both the companies are working on the documentation process and the preparatory work for securing board approvals, BPCL sources said the company might seek board approval at its next meeting scheduled in this month.
The participation of the oil biggies would broaden the scope of crude oil futures, which had so far tested only limited success in terms of liquidity, in the country.
According to sources, since trading on NCDEX is done in rupee terms, the move will also pioneer risk hedging by Indian oil companies in domestic crude which is 30-50 per cent of the total requirement in different refiners in the country.
Hedge risks
Domestic oil companies were so far hedging only on imported crude, as per RBI guidelines.
Since trading on domestic forward markets is not governed by RBI guidelines, IOC and BPCL can now hedge risks on domestic crude by taking positions in NCDEX.
According to sources, while IOC was looking forward to primarily take positions in Brent crude, BPCL is interested in both Brent and furnace oil.
It may be mentioned that BPCL had collaborated with NCDEX in October 2005 to provide the logistics and warehousing support to delivery backed furnace oil futures at the exchange.
Interestingly, however, furnace oil futures had failed to take off primarily due to lack of price benchmark.
"Our direct participation will pave way for discovery of new price bench mark for furnace oil away from the existing `look-back' pricing model (as per which the last fortnights price average is used for the next fortnight) followed by oil PSUs," a BPCL official said.

Pupils take part in first ever citizen's challenge event
11:20am Friday 23rd May 2014 in Local
CHILDREN from schools across Bromsgrove and Redditch have been taking part in a new citizen's challenge event that has been launched.
The first Young Citizen's Challenge for the towns was organised by West Mercia Police and Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service, and took place at the Ryland Centre, in New Road, throughout last week.
Around 700 year six students from schools had the opportunity to take part in a series of scenarios designed to raise awareness of various aspects of personal safety.
The seven scenarios covered water, fire, electrical, road and internet safety, plus anti-social behaviour, first aid and stranger awareness.
The events featured representatives from Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service, West Mercia Police, the Safer Roads Partnership, Severn Area Rescue Association, Safer Bromsgrove, Safer Redditch, the Red Cross and Western Power Distribution.
Caroline Webster, Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service's North District Community Safety Advisor, said: "The aim is to empower the young people to make positive choices to maintain their personal and community safety.
"It is very much experiential learning as each scenario is interactive and based around student participation."

Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days." Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?" Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. "And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me." Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!" And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Loose him, and let him go" (John 11:39-44).
This summer marks 31 years since I sat first by the bedside of a parishioner and watched him die. It is an experience that I've now repeated hundreds of times. Some things are similar, while some are different – we do not all die in the same manner. But there is an existential quality shared by them all. To a great extent those who surround the dying and the dead make a great rush for the "second-storey" of the universe, uttering words of deep assurance to one another with scenes drawn from the cultural tales that populate that land of unmixed joy and wonder.
Virtually everything we fear is quickly covered by the comfort of second-storey tales. "He is with Mom." "They no longer have to suffer the pain of being apart." When my grandmother died, the Presbyterian minister who spoke at her graveside said that "God had called her home to enjoy her delicious biscuits." All of us loved our grandmother's biscuits, but they surely did not rise to the level of the Divine nor provide sufficient cause for a joyful death.
Death, particularly the death of someone we love, can be deeply painful. My father's passing this past week has left me empty and full of grief. It is not wrong to feel empty and full of grief – it's simply how the death of someone we love feels. There are many complex matters that I need to visit before I will pass through this trial.
Death in a one-storey universe is particularly difficult. The imagination and its comforts are removed. I cannot imagine what my father's life is like at present – and the Scriptures give very few hints. The bold assurance in the book of Wisdom that "the souls of the righteous are in the hands of God," seems to me assurance enough. I cannot explain what it means to be in the hands of God, but I cannot imagine wanting to be somewhere else.
Many of the two-storey comforts that are offered in our culture are semi-pagan in origin. It is not paradise of which we speak so much as the Elysian Fields. The mystery of the Incarnation – its hiddenness and its manifestation challenges the delusions we encounter every day. God is everywhere present and filling all things, and yet we often experience Him as present nowhere and all things as empty. The great battle in which we live is not so much a battle between ideas – it is a battle between perceptions of reality and faith in those perceptions.
The Gospel is quite clear, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." And thus the most extreme majority of mankind lacks the prerequisites to speak with authority in the matter of God and His promise of paradise. Faith is quite mysterious, described by one modern Orthodox writer as an "organ of perception." Scripture calls it the "substance of things hoped for." In the most fundamental sense, faith is the substance of the Christian life – not a "leap of faith" or a "willful hope," but a perception, exceedingly dim, in which the objects of its perception yield themselves just enough to give hope that the reality we are tempted to make triumphant is itself somehow lacking.
The Christian faith begins with the Pascha of Christ. It is easy to attempt to find its beginnings elsewhere – to start with Genesis and argue the nature and timing of Creation – but no such arguments – including all those imagined by Biblical critics and fundamentalists – have any meaning except for the Pascha of Christ. His Pascha, including his suffering, torture, death, burial, descent into Hades, and his triumphant resurrection from the dead, are the only bedrock of the Christian faith. Without them, we are above all men "to be pitied," as St. Paul said. But it is also all too easy to make of such events things of such abundant holiness that we fail to see them for what they are.
The dead body of Christ, on the Cross and laid upon the slab of stone as Joseph of Arimithea and others prepared his body for burial, bore only the signs of a dead body. Their devotion was to his memory, their grief perhaps more profound than any we could imagine because their hopes were so great.
The noble Joseph when he had taken down Thy most pure body from the tree, anointed it with spices, wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in his own new tomb…
There were no hints given by Christ's "most pure body" of that which was to come. Apparently the disciples had forgotten what hints he had offered them over the three years of his ministry. When the day of resurrection occurred, the disciples were more willing to believe in the theory that someone had stolen the body than in the resurrection. Even eye-witness accounts were marred by mistaken identity and grief. It is only after the resurrection that the teaching of Christ begins to make sense and to change the perceptions of the disciples. Apart from the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the ignorance of the Apostles would have remained secure.
And so our own belief in the resurrection of Christ rests with the witness of the Apostles and the Church and the abiding gift of the Holy Spirit. Having stood for lengthy times beside the body of my father this past week, I saw no hints, no intimations of that which is to come. There was his cross held in his hand, an icon tucked discreetly under another hand. He commended his spirit to God and now his body rests in hope of the resurrection.
No vain imaginations of a second-storey mean anything other than the echo of my own lonely fears. His body, like that of Lazarus before him, awaits Christ. Like the body of Christ Himself, he yielded easily to our ministrations, making no protest or resistance. His hope is the same as my hope. Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon the those in the tombs bestowing life.
In time, I will likely join my father and my mother in the quiet of their tombs, awaiting the resurrection of the dead. I pray that in my lifetime I will have borne such witness to the resurrection of Christ that the attention of my friends and family will be drawn to that place of faith and not to the emptiness of my own hopeless body.
But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind. Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern (Phi 3:7-17).
There are many signs to which we may point as an embrace of the resurrection of the dead. First off, the Pascha of Christ. As well the unremitting and glorious testimonies of the martyrs and saints. The intimations of our own hearts and the faithful words of God's holy Scriptures. All of these point us beyond our own meager doubts and towards a world that tramples down the weakness of all illusions. Glory to God for all things! Glory forever!

Memory eternal.
I sometimes struggle with how to explain these ideas to secular or non-Christian friends, who think the whole emphasis on resurrection and defeating death sounds like obvious wish-fulfillment: a religion structured around allaying our fear of death. Perhaps a part of myself wonders the same thing – is this offer of eternal and abundant Life too good to be true, too obviously an answer to human hopes and fears?
I once heard Fr Hopko give a talk on death where he threw my Protestant past into stark relief. He made it clear (with a bit of his sometimes excessive flare for the contrary) that at Orthodox funerals we do not make friends of death. Death is evil, in fact, it is THE evil. Non-existence is more the true enemy of God than the Devil himself, who is a mere servant of nothingness (a slave and no king). There is no duality. There is light and there is that which diminishes into no light at all.
Having tasted plenty of it, I have, forgive me Father, an appreciation for Thestrals http://allthingspraiseworthy.blogspot.com/2011/08/when-you-see-thestrals.html
But I will not call anything about death a good (except what is said in Genesis that death was better than life without hope) for death is yet a necessity, though necessity does not find goodness.
You have my condolences for your loss. For we who continue are in no different a place than those who continued before us. Our cross born as theirs was born. I can only see this, that if He is the God of the living, they live, even now time is not linear (for He is History). They are already at the gate, for then is now and we are there as well during the Divine Liturgy.
Nothing divides us except that we are divided.
Memory eternal!
From John 12:24 Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. 25 He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
This summer during our training for Church school we were given a presentation where the grain of wheat is grown and we show the children the grain, about 3 stages of the growth and the final harvested wheat.
I was amazed at the root that appears almost immediately when the seed is placed in the ground, not even deeply placed. And the tangle, intermingled roots that form so very quickly with the other grains in the ground.
Indeed, we remain alone unless we fall into the ground and die.
Fr. Stephen, I so appreciate your post here. I have watched death take those I love in an untimely (to the world) way since I was young. And God has always reminded my heart that He is present. It was not until we joined the Orthodox Church worship and I heard the words: "He is ever present, filling all things" that I realized what I had been shown through watching those I love die. For some reason I am slower to catch on that He is really ever present and filling all things with us who live and move here in this world now. I am grateful for the constant reminders.
Glory to God for All Things!
[blockquote]In the most fundamental sense, faith is the substance of the Christian life – not a "leap of faith" or a "willful hope," but a perception, exceedingly dim, in which the objects of its perception yield themselves just enough to give hope that the reality we are tempted to make triumphant is itself somehow lacking.[/blockquote]
Father, this is one of the most profound things that you've ever written. Thank you.
It is amazing to me that Grace can transform grief and emptiness into words of power.
Memory Eternal!
"Death in a one-storey universe is particularly difficult. The imagination and its comforts are removed. I cannot imagine what my father's life is like at present – and the Scriptures give very few hints. The bold assurance in the book of Wisdom that "the souls of the righteous are in the hands of God," seems to me assurance enough. I cannot explain what it means to be in the hands of God, but I cannot imagine wanting to be somewhere else."
When I lost my parents, I was troubled for a while but my mother died before I was Orthdox and my father relatively early in my journey in the Church. Then, my wife died during Lent. Talk about a Lent. I also experienced in a way I had never before experienced, the joy of the Resurrection that year. Still in the midst of my sorrow and grief, I came out of the Pascha Service uncontrollably beaming and filled with joy. A very odd sensation.
Memory Eternal also means, as Father eludes to, that the pain never quite leaves the amputated limb. It is a constant reminder of the separation that death causes and that only the grace of God overcomes. She is still present, but not quite present with me but at the same time the sense of God's presence and mercy is also present. The mingling of the gaul of the world with the sweetness of the kingdom.
How much different that the attitude of a Morman friend who lost his wife. The theology led him into the belief that she was not just in a second storey, but in another life entirely–completely gone. Tears after the funeral a sign of a lack of faith.
God bless you Father and may the presence of our Lord assuage your grief and transform it.
Your comments are among the most helpful thoughts I've heard this week. History (in the linear sense) is the ultimate expression of death. No moment is more "historic" than when the soul parts from the body. To live such a linear existence is to embrace death in the wrong way, a way that destroys. Last Friday when my father died, friends urged me to take the weekend off and travel down to SC. I told my wife, "I could not bear to not celebrate the liturgy this Sunday for my father." It is truly the place where I will be closest to him and my mother, and that great cloud of witnesses that joins us in that eschatological moment. At the moment, it is the time between liturgies that is hardest. But the liturgy will heal – it is always Pascha and always victorious – not yet without pain but glorious. Thanks for your thoughts. My paradise consume us!
thank you for your link…your wife has written something beautiful and powerful there. God bless your family.
"The one you love" (11:3). It's easy to pray when we or a loved one first becomes sick. We believe firmly that Jesus does love us. The problem comes when there seems to be no response from God. The events reported in this chapter not only display Christ's power, but also help us deal with those painful delays in answers to prayer that trouble God's saints so often.
"Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus" (11:3-6). This seems to us in such conflict with the fact that, after hearing of their need, Jesus "stayed where He was two more days." Don't let God's inactivity cause you to question His love.
"For your sake" (11:12-15). Restoring Lazarus would create more joy, and do more to strengthen faith, than any ordinary healing could. God's delays are intended to bless!
"He will rise . . . at the last day" (11:23-24). Martha had total faith in Jesus. But even so she unconsciously limited His power to act in her present. Jesus would raise her brother—in the future. But Jesus intended to raise him now. Never make the mistake of limiting Jesus' power to act in your present. Neither time, space, nor apparent impossibility can restrict our Lord's ability to meet our deepest needs.
"I am the resurrection and the life" (11:25). Jesus is Lord of both physical and spiritual life. Belief in Jesus infuses a spiritual life in us that persists even though the physical body dies. The greatest miracle of Jesus was not raising Lazarus to physical life again, for Martha's brother would again die. The greatest miracle was and is in Jesus' power to give endless spiritual life to us who believe in Him.
"Jesus wept" (11:35). Often pointed to as the shortest verse in the Bible, it is also one of the most important. If Jesus delays His answers to our prayers it's not because He's unconcerned. He shares our suffering. He weeps both with and for us.
David, if I may.
The Thestrals story is profound. I found myself ringing the bell of the Orthodox Church of Saint George very recently, fully intending to enquire as to when services were held. A man opened the door and told me that services were held at Easter and Christmas.
Theological discussion turned to friendly chat. I soon learnt that he had seen Thestrals too and his face began to shine.
I do not know much else about this man except that he leaves flowers at the altar of the Lord each Friday, he misses his mother and is not afraid of dying.
May the Lord make His face shine upon You.
Dear Father Stephen
You have a wonderful ministry in this blog and it has touched ministry and it has touched many of us…
May the memory of your father be eternal… With the saints give rest oh Christ to the soul of your servant – where sickness and sorrow are no more, neither sighing but life everlasting!!
I am sorry for your loss. God Bless you and your family.
In Christ and many blessings!
Sorry for the typos. I tried to write this from an iphone. Its ridiculous!! Victoria Cherpes

The Steelers made their first wave of cuts to get down to Tuesday's mandatory roster limit of 75, and an additional move included the release of a player who has a couple of Super Bowl rings. The Steelers believe they have a rookie class with a lot of potential, and this was reflected in the initial wave of moves because none of those released was a rookie. The players waived included LB Brandon Renkart, CB David Pittman, FB Dwayne Wright and G Adrian Jones. Rookie guard Chris Scott was placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, and veteran OLB Andre Frazier – a part of the team for both Super Bowls XL and XLIII – was released from the injured reserve list.
LATROBE, Pa. – The Steelers today claimed second-year fullback Dwayne Wright off waivers from the Philadelphia Eagles. Wright (6-0, 234) signed with Philadelphia as a free agent in January 2010, after originally being drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the fourth round (111th overall) of the 2007 NFL Draft out of Fresno State. He appeared in 15 games with the Bills during his rookie season and gained 94 yards on 29 carries. The Bills released Wright prior to the start of the 2008 season. He spent the 2009 training camp with the New York Giants, but was released during the final preseason roster cuts. The Steelers made room for Wright on their roster by releasing rookie fullback Demetrius Taylor. Taylor signed with the Steelers as an undrafted rookie this past April. i dont really get the point of this, the steelers could make frank the tank a FB, and well we have redman he needs no FB lol

A group of seniors at Clinton High School are spending their brief homeroom period in the computer lab. With their grade school career ending in mere months, they're planning ahead for the real world that's looming on the horizon. On Wednesday, they're writing up their resumes.
"Put your references last, put your education first, then do volunteer experience," says student Chad Blissett as he explains how to arrange a resume.
A well-written resume is not only a doorway to a good job, it can also help pave the path to higher education.
"I was going to send some to Hinds or State," says student Beka Brill. She's relishing the opportunity to work on her resume with an instructor's help. "It kinda helps you collect all you've done, just makes it easier for you," she says.
Cooperative Education Instructor Barbie Ferguson says at the end of the school year, she will have had every Clinton High School senior in the computer lab for at least two weeks of intense instruction. They're also learning how to seek out financial aid and scholarships. Some are getting job placement help.
"When they go back to their homerooms, their homeroom teacher picks up where I left off," Ferguson explains.
It's part of a program called Arrows in Action, designed so teachers can utilize every moment of classroom time.
Arrows in Action begins in a student's sophomore year. "They actually prepare for subject area tests. The juniors are preparing for the ACT," Ferguson says. "It shows in our scores. Our subject area scores are up, our ACT scores are up."
Clinton High School earned Star status on the latest round of the state's accountability tests. That's the highest status a school can achieve. The graduation rate within the Clinton schools is the second highest in the state, at 88.5 percent.

I mentioned earlier this weekend that I've been trying to organize my home a little bit more this month. I started with my Kitchen Command Center, and now it's onto my messy Master Bathroom vanity drawer. Yep, just 5 minutes and a couple utensil organizers did the trick…
Oh, here's what my vanity drawer looked like before…
A little bit of a mess and everything shuffled around when we opened and closed the drawer. So to fix my messy space I bought some different sized utensil drawer organizers for less than $10.
And it's simply amazing how clean they make my vanity feel!
One of the best tricks? I used some mini adhesive mounts on the bottom of each organizer to keep them from sliding around when I open and close the drawer.
These mini organizers are perfect for my stray earrings, rubberbands and bobby pins.
I also got rid of some of the bigger items and stored them in the cabinets under the sink in nice baskets. I'll show you some more photos of that space when I finish (well, if I ever start) my bathroom makeover.
And yes, I took a lot of these photos while standing on top of our toilet. Hey, it's hard to shoot down on a drawer when I'm only 5'3.

Give a Dog a Bone: Gifting Dog Biscuits
I know, I know, I am posting this just days before Christmas arrives. You already have presents to wrap, holiday dinner to bake, more shopping to do AND your in-laws just arrived. I'm sorry. We just came up with this new tradition late last week and only got around to implementing it this week. The good news is if you want to do it you likely have all of the ingredients in your kitchen.
See Tessa, my precocious 2 year old, is in love with every dog she has ever come in contact with. Isaac has always loved animals but Tessa loves them in a whole different way, especially dogs. Next door to us live two small pups who have become her fast friends. Every time they go to the potty they look over to see if our children are out and about. Any sign of my little ones and those dogs come running with their eager tongues. My children react much the same. If those dogs are anywhere around when we are trying to leave the house you better not even try and put them in the car before they have had time to do some petting. Especially Tessa.
Now add in the fact that I have been racking my brain trying to come up with some things my kids could make (without driving me insane) for others and to really learn the gift of giving. After all, that isn't an easy concept to teach to a 2 and 3 year old that are always anxiously awaiting their own gifts. So when the idea to make dog biscuits for all our furry friends crossed my mind I just knew it was the activity/gift giving experience I was looking for. So we set to work.
I found a recipe I wanted to tweak, they each got their own mixing bowls, and we set to making two batches. (We are friends with about 8 dogs, family included, by my count). Tessa LOVES to eat dough these days so having a recipe that I wouldn't mind her getting in her mouth was important. And we have had our fill of human cookies so I loved the fact that this wasn't something they would want to eat.
The kids had so much fun mixing the dough, rolling the dough and using their cookie cutters to make "dog cookies". We talked about the dogs we were making these for and they were so excited along the way. And yes, Tessa ate some of the dough along the way.
After they were done and cooled Isaac helped me wrap them by cutting the ribbon and helping me place them in their bags. We are so excited to deliver these to our furry friends this weekend! I can't wait to see their faces as the dogs eat their "cookies". And I am hopeful that this experience will help them to understand a little more about the spirit of giving, without causing me to lose my mind.
Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits
Tricia @ onceamonthmeals.com
- 1.25 cups flour
- .50 cups oats
- .5o Tablespoon baking powder
- .50 cup creamy organic peanut butter
- .50 cups milk
- 2 Tablespoons applesauce
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium to large bowl mix all of the dry ingredients. Next, add all of the wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Place the "dough" onto a piece of wax paper (or parchment paper) and then add another sheet on top. Roll the dough out so that it is about a half inch thick. Remove the top layer of wax paper and using cooking cutters cut shapes. Using a spatula to help them hold shape, remove your shapes to a cookie sheet for baking. Continue reforming and rolling the dough until it is all used. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool and serve (or wrap).
Freezing Directions:
You can freeze the shapes or dough prior to baking or you can continue to bake and once cool, place them in a gallon freezer bag to freeze. To serve: Thaw cooked "cookies" or defrost dough and follow baking directions above.
Servings: ~12 biscuits

Just made these with the kids for our pups? Thanks for sharing.
Perfect last minute gift to give! Thanks so much!
I think that it`s great that so many of us are not just taking notice of what goes into our foods but also dogs foods/treats too.
When I gave up work due to a bone disease I started to do a lot of research into the pet food industry and really have a look in detail about what our dogs are actually eating. Because of this I started a business called The Doggy-Deli which takes out ALL of the harmful ingredients and just leaves ingredients safe for dogs to eat. I looked at weight, health issues, teeth, gums, coat, skin, (everything you could possibly think of) and came up with http://www.thedoggydeli.blogspot.com Everyday now I go to work on my computer and come up with safe foods, treats, biscuits, cakes, celebration cakes and even breakfast bars that I know are 100% Organic and Additive free. Please have a look and let me know what you think??
are the oats old fashioned or quick and is the applesauce unsweetened? I have some sweetened applesauce in our fridge that the kids won't eat.

No ill feeling - Redknapp
2:23pm Monday 30th April 2012 in National Sport News © Press Association 2014
Harry Redknapp insists he holds no grudges against Roy Hodgson, even though the West Brom boss is set to inherit the England role he craved.
The Football Association stunned most observers when they went against public opinion and confirmed they had made an approach for Hodgson to replace Fabio Capello. Redknapp had been the overwhelming favourite, but despite taking Tottenham into the Champions League, it seems he is not what the FA were looking for.
"I don't hold grudges, I don't feel like that," said Redknapp on Monday morning. "There's no problem. If Roy takes the job I wish him all the best. He's a great guy. I'm sure he'll be a big success."
He added: "I still think England's got some great players, I really do.
"I think there's some fantastic players in this country, some young players coming through, some great experienced players.
"I'm looking forward to the European Championships, looking forward to watching it.
"Life couldn't be better, the sun's shining, my health is good, very lucky man."
The latest developments mark the beginning of an end to a tortuous few weeks since Capello announced his resignation on February 8.
It is anticipated Hodgson will speak to the four-man FA board on Monday and his appointment will be confirmed within the next 48 hours, which would allow him to announce England's Euro 2012 squad on May 10, as indicated by Stuart Pearce last week.
"I suppose it's dragged on, but it's no problem," said Redknapp.

After watching a commercial for a website that claimed to be able to trace a person's ancestry, I excitedly called a friend and expressed my newfound desire to research my heritage. To my surprise, though, my friend was not nearly as enthusiastic as I was. "Just think," he said, "a great ancestor might bring you pride, but what if he or she wasn't that great at all?" After hearing these words, I immediately lost interest in my endeavor, believing that I was suddenly spared the experience of discovering that my great-great-great-great grandfather was a ruthless Genghis Khan.
