Today, Kathleen M. Kelley shows us how we can forget that aging brings its own comforts and surprises, only to be upended by the human capacity for resilience. You can almost hear the moments of deliverance in the music and musicians she describes in this moving poem.
I had studied all the war I could stomach,
decided we had all lost touch with
whatever it is makes us human.
Believe me, I am not young, I have read
the Buddha's Five Contemplations:
every single thing will be taken from me.
How to bear being old?
This veil of competence I wear–
once torn to shreds, who leads the way?
It has not been given to me
to look for guidance in the usual places.
Then I hear them play.
She sits on the bench
left hand only on the keys,
him beside her in a wheelchair,
right hand on the keys,
left arm, flaccid, in his lap.
After the stroke, when his left side
refused to come back to him,
he invited her to take its place
while he stood in for her right.
No doubt she is lonely, yet not alone.
His body is broken, yet whole.
With whatever remains, he makes the music he can.
I close my eyes to see if I can tell
the two hands playing the prelude belong to
two brains, two sets of ears, two pairs of eyes.
But the music is a seamless fusion of beauty and intelligence.
When I tell him this and he looks up at me
folding the hand I offer into his,
his eyes are the blue of seawater
just when the sun starts to rise,
pour back the light of day.

I am right now. I didn't have this problem last night though.
Just beat the campaign. Holy shit. That's how you do a conclusion.
Scavenger doesn't unlock until level 15 or so.
I am kinda hoping that hackers have a lot of success getting past VAC. It might force them to put dedicated server support back in.
Ps3 netplay is temporarily down due to unprecedented usage levels.
Yeah, this was a problem for me last night. No silencer on my any of my handguns yet either so I was screwed once that SCAR ran out.
Scavenger doesn't unlock until level 15 or so.
Oh man, just finished SP, talk about crazy all the way through.
However I did have a question regarding the endingSpoiler:These spoilers are basically for the end of the game, so be warnedSpoiler:Why did Shepard kill Roach and Ghost? Did I miss something? He obviously wasn't working with Makarov.Spoiler:He HIRED Makarov. That's the whole thing. Shepherd arranged it so the Russians would attack the US. He wanted to start a war to "avenge" the soldiers under his command who died during the nuke in MW1. And he is doing that by starting a war between the US and Russia.Spoiler:Ahhh, ok. I knew it had to do with the nuke, but wasn't quite sure how it all played out.
Slight correction there:
Spoiler:He didn't do it for revenge, as he obviously doesn't give two shits about his men, evidenced by the final level when he brings the hammer down on them, not to mention murders them in order to achieve his goals.
What he did do it for is the fact that all of his men died, and nobody gave a fuck. So in order to wake people out of apathy, he orchestrated a world war in order to get everyone to be a "patriot" and "enlist" and be "proactive".
It gives his character some modicum of depth as that is a real problem that we, as a global society, face today.
Why is there a guy running around shooting people in close quarters with a Barrett? This is silly. Also that thing weighs like 30 pounds and would be difficult to swing around.
Do you guys recommend I pick this up? Is Multiplayer as good as all the official review sites paid to say? Should I listen to them or the User Reviews? Xbox 360 or PC?
I had bad experiences with the Wireless G adapter, and only go wired. I have an N router, and Microsoft is releasing an N adapter. Despite the N router, I've never used anything that uses N. Will the N adapter make a difference?
Thank you for clearing up the story.
Spoiler:The whole moral sounds like it's against the mentality of chicken hawks, veterans and pubbies that everyone who is not in the military is somehow not a citizen or unworthy of being American.
So your saying that the review sites were paid to say its good, but that I should still get it?

Pretty much. Look at the game reviews 8 - 10 for the PC, scroll down a little and user reviews for are around 1-2.
Xbox 360 has better support, bigger matches, better everything.
I'm not going to say that media outlets haven't been bought in this case.You know the publishers have bought media outlets when they praise a story that is written with this many plot holes.
The story is about as intellectually engaging as a roller coaster. But it's also just as entertaining. Don't think about it, just go with it.
I've had just as much fun so far. Except since I don't know the maps all that well yet there's still the "oh god oh god where are they" feeling to it. Which is nice.
Domination normally helps.I know this was stated already... but... thread is moving so fast. But so yeah, I remember reading someone saying that TDM isn't the fastest way to level up in MP. Where's the good stuff at?
More awesome. In MW1 i felt there were like 3-4 different ways I could play the game. In this one, literally every combo of attachments, perks and weapons feels like a different "class"
I just switched to the two attachment perk, tossed on the heart beat monitor and the thermal, threw on the scrambler perk and im pretty much scouting out the enemy movements and picking them apart. Throw in a few buddies to help command with my heart beat monitor and its a blast.

Justus1 - I agree with you 100% because of the conflicting stories. I too am interested in what his cell phone records show at the time of the accident. I've seen too many young drivers texting while they drive and babbling away on their cell phones. Good point!July 29, 2010 at 11:22 p.m.
4reals...I'm not saying it's not LEGAL to be on the road with cars and trucks. I'm saying it's very dangerous and not very smart to mix a 40 pound (?) bicycle going eight MPH with 3,000 pound cars and up to 80,000 pound trucks going 60 to 70 MPH. If there is an accident, you're gonna lose. I try to NOT hit anyone -- it dents the fenders and ruins the paint -- but when a bicycle is just over the crest of a hill or around a curve, the rider is in grave danger because the driver of the automobile can't see him in time to do an orderly slow down and move over. If the bike rider was on foot, there would be no question that he was doing something stupid for playing in the middle of a 50 to 70 MPH road. Well, pardner, the bike isn't very much faster and offers no more protection than a pedestrian has. Just because the law says you have the right to be on the road, doesn't mean the laws of physics don't apply. Oh, well, I guess you're just being generous. Your survivors will probably sue the guy who hit and killed you and they'll get rich (along with the ambulance chaser who filed the lawsuit.)July 29, 2010 at 6:57 p.m.
I agree with jeff. A cyclist has every right to be on any road that any other legal vehicle has to be on the same road. Common courtesy is another word that comes to mind. I too, have ridden the streets of Victoria, the farm to markets, and rural roads and have witnessed the hazards of the 'rude public'. These are the types that feel they are superior.July 29, 2010 at 6:21 p.m.
Economic downturns or whatever the case, if the law states that they have rights to ride on the road, then you should allow them every courtesy as any other vehicle. Cyclist should heed the law just the same.
Thanks for the video. It was an eye-opener. You know, in the video, I didn't see anyone on a bike that was grossly overweight.July 29, 2010 at 12:53 p.m.
"Love" should go in between "would" and "it." It's hard to type with oven mitts. D=July 29, 2010 at 12:46 p.m.
I would it if we had a lane for bikes like in the video. Talk about going green! It's healthier too.July 29, 2010 at 12:43 p.m.
I hope the gentlemen will recover quickly.
A little off topic but an eye opener : one of the most friendlist cities in the world to cyclists is Copenhagen.
Here's rush hour:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYajXN...July 29, 2010 at 12:35 p.m.
Not all bike riders are riding for exercise; many in today's world ride bikes to get to and from their job. They have no other routes to choose from in these rural neighborhoods. I believe this is the gentleman I have seen riding daily, rain or shine. He always appeared to be riding very cautiously. Try to have some compassion for people just trying to do the best they can with the resources they have.July 29, 2010 at 12:24 p.m.
like to see the cell phone records of the driverJuly 29, 2010 at 12:17 p.m.
Victoria, Texas is the most bike unfriendly town. We've seen nothing but bike/car accidents lately. Why? Maybe because it's the economy. It's more economical as well as environmentally friendly to ride a bike. Victoria, you need to change your attitude toward byciclists. Please slow down...July 29, 2010 at 12:06 p.m.
john always rides his bike on the shoulder and in town he uses the sidewalk or rides against traffic i know him personallyJuly 29, 2010 at 11:46 a.m.
Bike riders should stay off any hwy where the speed limit is over 30 mph as another person has said. I think it is very dangerous for anyone to ride a bike on any roadway if the speed limit is over 30 mph. And no, anyone who hits a biker is not an idiot. Sometimes bike riders are hard to see until you are right upon them.
I agree with familyman1122, they need to change the law back to when a person had to ride the bike against the traffic. The person in the car can see them better and the person on the bike is able to see the car.July 29, 2010 at 11:46 a.m.
WWW, it's because I've seen some drivers do some pretty stupid things when they encounter bikes on the road. It's like they forgot they have brakes. I've also seen them intentionally run them off the road - so yeah, they're idiots and they should do hard time if they hit a pedestrian or someone on a bike.July 29, 2010 at 9:43 a.m.
Some of you are missing the facts here. The rider was hit while on the shoulder according to the witness behind the driver of the truck that struck the rider. The driver of the truck was no longer in the travel lane! The shoulder at the spot where the rider was hit is wide enough to be a lane. How much room does a pickup truck need? I have seen drivers of 18 wheelers show more coutesy on this road (and other roads) than many other drivers...If there is room for a big rig to share the road with a cyclist, I am sure all of the private vehicles can slow down and give a little room for cyclists and pedestrians.
Don't forget...cyclists drive too...we pay taxes and have as much right to use the roads as any other user. IT IS THE LAW!.July 29, 2010 at 9:14 a.m.
How about bicycle lanes? They would create a fitness initiative in this area like some other places. Might help with that weight problem.July 29, 2010 at 8:34 a.m.
rollinstone...I'm just wondering -- why do you think any driver who hits someone on a bicycle is automatically an idiot. I think anybody who rides a bicycle on a roadway where the speed limit is more than 30 mph is an accident looking for a place to happen.
familyman1122...As long as we're wanting poll questions asked, how about one that required ANYONE on a public roadway to maintain a posted minimum speed which would be, oh say, 75 percent of the posted maximum speed limit?
The problem with bicycles sharing the roads with cars is not that bicycles are inherently unsafe. The problem is the disparity in speed between the bikes and cars. One of my favorite drives in Texas is between Chappel Hill and Washington-On-The-Brazos during wildflower season each spring. It is a winding country road without shoulders but lots of hills. Few things get the heart rate up quicker than topping a hill at legal speeds and finding a gaggle of bicycles in the road.July 29, 2010 at 8:27 a.m.
Rule Number One - Never bicycle on a busy road with little or no shoulders.
Number Two - Never bicycle in the on coming lane particularly on roads with no or little shoulders.
Number Three - Any idiot that hits someone on a bike should do jail time.
Number Four - Any pedestrian or bicyclist on the road should be given a wide berth when passing. If this can't be done because of on coming traffic - THEN SLOW DOWN OR STOP.July 29, 2010 at 7:57 a.m.
The comment from FamilyMan1122 is patently ridiculous. Bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities while using roads that motorized vehicles have...it is state law.
Riding against traffic ensures that a rider will be hit by a driver pulling onto the roadway from the cyclist's side of the road. A driver does not expect and will not be looking for traffic, i.e. , a cyclist coming from this position. This is a fact, and is one reason cyclists are required to behave in the same manner as normal traffic.
Whether or not the cyclist was in the road way or on the shoulder, he still had the same right of way. It is obvious that the vehicle driver was inattentive. Also, having ridden this same route hundreds of times, I can assure you that many many drivers drive on the shoulder, swerve onto the shoulder, and are generally inattentive. I cannot count the number of times I have been nearly hit while 3 or more feet off of the roadway in the same spot.
I ask that all users of the roads, cyclists and motorists, be aware of what is going on while they are riding or driving. Look out for each other. Don't text or use your cell phone while driving. Cyclists-obey the traffic laws. It is dangerous enough out there on the roads for all of us...July 29, 2010 at 7:34 a.m.
We need to change the bicycle laws back to the way they were when a person on a bike rides against the traffic. This would have prevented this accident. If the man hit was able to see the vehicle coming he could have gotten out of the way. He would be safe and not in the hospital. We are supposed to walk against the traffic and bicycles should do the same. Just ask a bicyclist. It is a safer way to use a bicycle. VicAD can you use this on your question of the day? Should we change the bicycle laws?July 29, 2010 at 6:08 a.m.

Downtown assault racially motivated
The color of a man's skin was apparently the motivation behind a brutal attack early Sunday in downtown Brainerd.
Criminal complaints filed Tuesday in Crow Wing County District Court said the victim, Willie Navy, 53, Brainerd, and the two suspects in the assault, Lucas Eastwood and Travis Campbell, were at Yesterday's Gone late Saturday when an employee at the bar heard Eastwood say he wanted to assault Navy because Navy was black and Eastwood wanted to fight that night.

The Human Rights Film Festival is on again, and one of the films showing this year is the fairly decent Occupation 101, about the occupation of Palestine. It's not without problem, but it is a stunningly well made documentary, and is well worth seeing.
As is the tradition with the HRFF, after each screening there is an "expert" speaker who talks for 5-10 mins followed by 20 mins of questions, answers and discussion on the film.
I will be the speaker after both sessions of Occupation 101 in Otautahi / Christchurch, at the Regent On Worcester.
Wednesday, 28 May – 8.00pm
Thursday, 29 May – 6.00pm
For more info, check out 6 clips from the film on the official website. I'll post up my speech on here sometime after I've given it.
p.s: sorry for not posting for a month. been insanely busy doing things, and don't have internet at home at the moment. i'm leaving the country soon, but will keep blogging with stories from my trip (more about that later…)

Romo & Orton, Carpenter to PS
Murray, Jones, Dunbar, Vickers.
Dunbar plays ST, looked pretty good at it. Plays more ST roles than Tanner. Tanner could make the squad if they did something crazy like cut Jones (I would).
Bryant, Austin, Ogletree, Beasley, Harris, Coale.
I think they take Coale over Holmes. I personally would only keep five. If I kept six I would be inclined to keep Benford over Holmes.
Witten, Phillips, Hanna. The double letter in the last name is all thats needed.
Smith, Free, Parnell, McQuistan.
Parnell was signed for 3 years for a reason. McQ sticks as the all purpose guy to play tackle or guard if needed.
Livings, Bernadeau, Costa, Arkin, Dockery.
Arkin is the backup center / guard. Keeping McQ could make Dockery expendable to save a roster spot.
Sensbaugh, Church, McCray, Silva, Johnson.
Silva has made this team. I think he may actually bump Johnson from the roster altogether.
Carr, Claiborne, Scandrick, Jenkins, Butler.
Nothing to be said here
Ware, Spencer, Butler, Wilber, Hamilton.
We have to keep all five, period.
Lee, Carter, Lemon, Albright
Yes Connor is gone. Lemon might not be as seasoned, but he has shown more upside than Connor. I listed Albright with the ILB's, but he will play all over the field. One of my first posts of the year had him making this squad.
Hatcher, Coleman, Lissemore, Crawford, Bass
Spears has played well, but he gets axed. Bass should make this team over Calloway or Geathers, but I doubt the brass will do that.
Ratliff, Brent.
Lissy can play inside when needed.
Bailey, Jones, L.P.
I still dont know for sure if Jones will be here in week 4.

By PHILIP ELLIOTT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The National Rifle Association is breaking its silence four days after a school shooting in Newtown, Conn., where 26 were killed, including 20 children.
The nation's largest gun rights organization made its first public statements Tuesday after a self-imposed media blackout that left many wondering how it would respond to the killings. In its statement, the group said its members were, quoting, "shocked, saddened and heartbroken by the news of the horrific and senseless murders."
The group also said it wanted to give families time to mourn before making its first public statements. The organization pledged "to help to make sure this never happens again" and has scheduled a news conference for Friday.

So Oprah has picked the new book for her book club, and it's a doozy: A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckhard Tolle is the new choice. Yes! A self help book! To hell with all the fine fiction and important non-fiction out there. Let's gaze at our navels some more! Heaven knows we don't do enough of THAT.
Now I hesitate to be too hard on Oprah; she's done a lot for reading in this country, which as we all know is filled with idiots who think American Gladiators is a legitimate form of entertainment. Oprah has made some questionable choices - James Frey comes leaping to mind - but she's introduced legions of readers to all sorts of interesting writers (Cormac McCarthy, Toni Morrison, Joyce Carol Oates), even (maybe) tricked some into reading classics like East of Eden. Her last choice was Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth, which is a great tale of medieval England and the building of cathedrals.
But...self help? Bleah. I don't need to awaken to my life's purpose. Come on, Oprah. Champion books that really matter.

Corn and Chile Quesadillas
Quesadillas are quick easy therefore they show up in our house pretty often. I love the variation that they provide, and not to mention they tap right into my obsession with cheese! Green chiles are huge in Colorado. Especially in August they are on every roadside, at every farmers market, with these big tin roasters and you can buy them but the bag full. They are so very easy to roast on your own! This combination of the green chiles with corn and mushrooms is sure to please even the pickiest of palates.
Corn and Chile Quesadillas

3 Responses to "Corn and Chile Quesadillas"
These look delicious! I think I'll try them with ground beef instead of mushrooms. We've already gone through two batches of BBQ chicken Quesadillas so this will be a nice change.
I have a question that I'm hoping someone can help with on this recipe. Basically, my question is, can I put frozen corn directly into frozen foods, or will it release too much liquid when it is reheated?
I'm biting the bullet and making my own menu of lunches, which I realized with my schedule I have to cook *tomorrow* as my whole next two weeks is filling up! I'm preparing my "Prep" instructions. Since my son won't eat onions or mushrooms, I'm substituting ground beef for both of those, and I'd like to brown all of my ground beef in advance. That means the beef and corn will both be cold when I mix them, and the corn probably won't even thaw, since when I make frozen quesadillas I add the topping after frying the tortilla/cheese (no need to heat it up when it's going straight in the freezer, and it decreases cooking time).
But I'm worried that if I put the corn into the ground beef in it's frozen state, it might leak liquid when these are microwaved. What do you think?

Todd Smith asks a Jaguars blogger 7 questions leading up to the 2011 season finale for both teams.
Jacksonville is a city known more for its love of college football (and Tim Tebow) than their love for the Jaguars. Much has changed this year including the dismissal of their head coach, a new owner and their attempts to break in a rookie QB. Shane Clemons of The Jaggernaut and This Given Sunday took time to answer a few questions about the Jacksonville Jaguars, Peyton Manning and the upcoming season finale from the perspective of their fans.
Q: Peyton Manning has been a thorn in the Jaguars side. With Andrew Luck waiting in the wings, would Jags fans prefer a win over the Colts or a loss which could prevent them from drafting Luck?
A: You hit the nail on the head. Manning is a thorn in the Jaguars' side, and the prospect of playing Andrew Luck twice a year isn't much more enticing. As a fan, I want to see the Jaguars beat the Colts, no doubt there. I think that if the Colts did pick second, the Rams would try to act as if they'd take Luck if no one traded up, and I'd be willing to bet the Colts would call their bluff. But, if there was interest from other teams, the Colts may have to spend a small fortune to trade up just one pick, and I'm not sure they'd be willing to break the bank to do so.
Getting back to the question, I want to see the Jaguars win, but I won't lose too much sleep if the Colts win their third straight game. I guess my heart's always with the Jags, but my brain is with the Colts on this one.
Q: Blaine Gabbert has been shaky in the pocket this year. In a town known for toughness are Jaguars fans happy with the development of rookie QB Blaine Gabbert?
A: Until recently, I had been very critical of Blaine Gabbert's development (or lack thereof) in terms of stepping into pressure to make a good throw, but he's finally been showing significant progress in recent weeks. I think that Jaguars fans will be patient for the moment as the franchise goes through an ownership transition as well as getting a new head coach. For the moment, yes, I think most of us are happy with his development, but he won't be working with much patience from the fan base next season, especially if the Jags can bring in some legitimate receivers for him to work with.
Q: After 9 mediocre years Jack Del Rio was fired mid-season and replaced on an interim basis with defensive coordinator Mel Tucker. How did the city react to the firing of Jack Del Rio?
A: I was one of the few people left that wasn't thrilled to see Del Rio go, but I've been pleased with the clear push to move on from the Del Rio era by the fans, the city, and the Jaguars' ownership. When he was fired, it was clear to everyone that his time as the Jaguars' coach was over, and he was the definition of a lame duck. The sentiment from most seemed to be one of, "Thanks for all you've done, but it's time to move on. Good luck in the future coach." While he had a lot of mediocre years, he did give the Jaguars some great moments (beating Pittsburgh at Heinz Field twice in 2007).
Q: Illinois businessman and Pakistan native Shahid Khan will assume ownership of the team in early January. What does new ownership mean for the Jaguars?
A: To this point, Shahid Khan has been saying all the right things to make the city of Jacksonville fall in love with him and his style. He seems to understand that coaches know the Xs and Os of the game better than he does, and he wants to empower his employees to be able to do their job effectively and efficiently. He's also said that he'll do whatever it takes to put a competitive product on the field. On top of all that, he's said that he's committed to making pro football work in Jacksonville. Time will tell how effective he is, but signs are good, and the city loves him.
Q: When schedules are made many fans circle this game due to its importance to the AFC South and playoff picture each year. What kind of crowd can we expect at the game?
A: To be honest, the Jaguars will be hard stretched to avoid a blackout. There will be empty seats, and that's to be expected in a game between two bad teams this late in the season. The Jaguars haven't had a blackout since the 2009 season, so I think the city will try very hard to avoid the big blackout monster. Unfortunately, I don't think crowd noise will be a problem for either team on Sunday.
Q: Maurice Jones-Drew was named to the AFC Pro Bowl roster and has now passed Fred Taylor on the Jaguars all-time rushing charts. He has two more years on his contract but he's incredibly frustrated with losing. Will he remain a Jaguar or force his way out of the city?
A: While he is frustrated, I think Maurice Jones-Drew likes Jacksonville, and he realizes it isn't easy to build a great team. I think he wants to be a part of bringing the Jaguars back to being a playoff caliber team, but if he doesn't like the direction Shahid Khan and Gene Smith are taking, who can blame him if he wants out? If he does go into free agency, he'll be one of the top free agent prospects. That being said, I expect him to be in Jacksonville for a long time.
Q: This season has definitely been a disappointment for both the Jaguars and the Colts. What can we expect from GM Gene Smith as we approach the draft?
A: I think the Jaguars have to be looking to improve their offensive line (especially their depth) and their wide receivers. There's no doubt that those are the two biggest weaknesses in the Jaguars' offense, and Gene Smith will address them in free agency, the draft, or both. Other than that, Gene Smith is a self proclaimed "best available player" drafter. He'll take the best player on the Jaguars' board, regardless of need, and the Jags will fill in the rest in free agency. The idea of a top prospect is very enticing for Jaguars fans, and we're counting on him to make the Jaguars' top 10 (and possibly top 5) pick count.

Summary:We are offering a signed and inscribed copy First Edition, First Printing of Witnes with dust jacket signed and inscribed by Chambers. Price $950.00
Jay Vivian (Whittaker) Chambers (1901-1961). Chambers was a giant who served at one point in his career as an Editor at Time Magazine. He first was attracted to communism while at Columbia University. He joined the party and wrote for its publications and was sent to Moscow to receive espionage training. He was part of a communist cell-- the Ware Group-- of which Alger Hiss and Harry Dexter White were also members. After much agonizing, Chambers eventually rejected communism and came forward to testify against Hiss in what was called the Trial of the Century. Chambers wrote a moving letter to his children that is a forward to his classic book Witness, written after that trial in which he stated that he left communism just as others had done because " at night he and they could hear the screams"- those screams Chambers characterized as the agony of the soul.
Chambers suffered greatly in his personal life as a result of his principled stand. But Ronald Reagan recognized the importance of Chamberlain and the role he played in helping to reinforce our understanding of the greatest evil in the modern history of man-Communism. Reagan even credited Chambers with being very important in his conversion to conservatism. President Reagan awarded Chambers The Medal of Freedom. The following was the comment that accompanied that award:At a critical moment in our Nation's history, Whittaker Chambers stood alone against the brooding terrors of our age. Consummate intellectual, writer of moving majestic prose, and witness to the truth, he became the focus of a momentous controversy in American history that symbolized our century's epic struggle between freedom and totalitarianism, a controversy in which the solitary figure of Whit taker Chambers personified the mystery of human redemption in the face of evil and suffering. As long as humanity speaks of virtue and dreams of freedom, the life and writings of Whit taker Chambers will ennoble and inspire. The words of Arthur Koestler are his epitaph: "The witness is gone; the testimony will stand." It could be argued that the Hiss trial helped to bring the magnitude of the threat that was posed by traitors like Hiss, Harry Dexter White and their fellow travellers to this great country. In the words of Ronald Reagan:
"One hundred years ago Lord Macauley said, 'Rome was over run and conquered by the Barbarians in the fifth century A.D.' In the middle of the 20th century America will be over run and destroyed but with this difference. Ancient Rome's Barbarians came from without-Americas Barbarians will have been created by her own Democratic institutions and will come from within."

Fuel: Theft only discovered in helicopter refueling. Pic: © STV
Thieves have stolen a large amount of helicopter fuel needed for remote construction works in the Western Isles.
Thieves drained eight drums of fuel at the village of Marruig on Harris.
It was only when PDG Helicopters staff went to refuel the aircraft on Tuesday that they released the theft had taken place.
The fuel, valued at around £1600, was needed for a helicopter to transport heavy water pipes up a steep hill as part of a construction project.
PDG chief executive Garry Francis said: "The fuel was delivered on a pallet by a haulier for a pipe-laying job.
"We lose fuel from time to time. Unfortunately it is a hazard of the job.
"What is unusual about this is the drums were not taken."
Mr Francis believes the culprits turned up with a pumping device and transferred the fuel into their own portable storage tanks.
Northern Constabulary are investigating the theft. A police spokesman said the fuel was reported to have gone missing sometime between March 9 and 13.

Cabrera told Hairston he was stealing home
The San Diego paper reported that prior to the pitch before he stole home, Everth Cabrera told Jerry Hairston Jr. he would do just that. Cabrera quoted Hairston as saying, "Go ahead and try it". If so, I bet Jerry handles it differently the next time a baserunner says this. Of course, it's possible there was confusion getting this story. If that quote actually came from the third-base coach, that wouldn't be interesting at all.

Revenue loss may mean more cuts for Simi
Simi Valley's budget is projected to have a $8.2 million shortfall — the largest in city history — by the end of this fiscal year.
City officials gave a presentation at Monday's council meeting on the city's diminished $57.3 million budget, giving options on how to balance it by June 15.
The city's expenses for 2009-10 are projected at $65.5 million, even after a $3 million cut officials made in December. The shortfall could lead to salary decreases, furloughs, layoffs or other concessions in the coming year, officials said.
City Manager Mike Sedell said there were rumors that layoffs might be coming, and the purpose of the presentation was to show the public what the city is dealing with financially.
"This isn't Armageddon in terms of city finances," Sedell said. "We're going to be fine; we're going to work our way through this."
Sedell said Simi Valley is in "far better shape than 98 percent of the cities in California."
He said he is confident the city will be able to balance the budget by June. But next year and beyond, the city has to consider longer-term, structural solutions, since revenue will continue declining as costs rise.
The four big areas of revenue loss for the 2009-10 year is from property and sales tax, developers' fees and gas tax, said Dan Paranick, assistant city manager, who gave the presentation.
The biggest spending leap — 4.5 percent — comes from employee healthcare, the public employees retirement system and an increase in worker's compensation.
Since the shortfall is larger than any one source of funding can make up, a multifaceted approach is needed, Paranick said.
Some of the options for closing the $8.2 million gap include "reverse prioritizing," where each city department head has been asked to shave off a percentage of its budget. The city would then prioritize those cuts.
Paranick has been talking with employee groups to see what kind of concessions employees would be willing to make.
The city is continuing to cut whatever possible from the city budget and will be looking at development-related services and positions, Sedell said.
Property and sales taxes are estimated to make up about $38 million of the budget.
Sales taxes dropped 6.1 percent this year and are projected to decrease 8 percent next year, Paranick said. Property tax revenue was flat, and is expected to drop 3 percent next year, he said.
Developers' fees revenue "has basically stopped," Paranick said.
The $2.5 million in developers' fees received this year for various projects covers only program maintenance. The city also lost about $1.3 million in state transit assistance.
Just two years ago the housing industry was stable and growing, as were sales and property taxes, meeting the city's service needs. Then, the city had a budget of $63.3 million.
Councilman Glen Becerra said residents expect the city to continue to be responsible protectors of their money.
"We can't become an outdated, bloated and oversized government bureaucracy," he said.

From Fitler Square to Old City, mounds and piles of snow transformed the atmosphere, attitude, pace and perspective of people who live and work in Center City, Philadelphia. Photographs during and after storms, in the morning, day and dark of night, show dogs in the park and in the middle of the road, strolling with their owners without a care in the world. Majestic trees covered in fallen snow, iron gates and railings, City Hall and its many statues and monuments draped in white. Rittenhouse Square at dusk, dawn and empty in the dead of night aside from a couple of businessmen walking home. Washington Square Park laden with snow and Old City's street lights glowing in the howling wind and snow with the lights of Ben Franklin Bridge burning dimly in the background. This book is a must have for those who live, work in or just love Philly.

Top five things to do in Prague

In the article, his #5 is the Local Pub. But he didn't mention that part of it should be DRINKING the Czech beer (and other Czech specialities).
Pilsner was invented in Czech and their beers are great. (Budweiser is a descendent of Budvar, the original pilsner). There are quite a few local Czech beers to choose from. Our favorite is Pilsner Urquell. That's what we buy here to drink at home.
Another Czech find is Becherovka, a pretty potent liqueur made from 34 herbs (or something like that). It's good stuff too though.
I also tried "grog" from a street vendor. It was disgusting and I threw it out.
I didn't try it, but you can buy absinthe in Czech.
May 30 2008, 04:20 PM
Ah, it always comes to drinking. That makes the top 5 anywhere it seems!

Yes, you can. But you can buy Stroh, too. It's Austrian rum (Czechs don't make absinthe, so I can speak about Austrian drink
). There is 80 % of alcohol.

Hmm, well I been over the bridge, just not at dawn, I did it at nighttime though and it was still pretty cool, and drunk the wine! I also invested in a gorgeous leather handbag, which is still in perfect condition and rode the tram like a local! And went to a classical music concert, I felt very "artsy"!!!!!!
Aug 28 2008, 05:02 AM
I prefered Budvar to the other beers, probably the most widespread beer in Prague. It was the main beer on tap in every pub and dirt cheap.
I went in February and froze my arse off! Going anywhere was a chore so I spent a lot of time in restaurants and pubs
Their local food was perfect for the time of year! There were also very few tourists so it was perfect, would be hell in summer.

Mechanical experts who work at Porsche in Germany have been summoned to appear, they will be flying out to L.A. To aid investigators to accertain the cause of the accident.
Law enforcement claim they want a full analysis of the Carrera GT, including brakes, engine and body.
They also want the experts to help determine speed at the time of impact. They're also interested in the tires, and at least one is available for analysis because it was not completely destroyed in the fire.
Los Angeles County determined Paul Walker died from a combination of impact and flames.
The Porsche experts will be working with Sheriff investigators to make an attempt to determine a clear cause of the crash.

The new unis have been with us awhile now, and I don't know what the consensus is, but I like them. The sleeker look is good (for the WR and RB, the guys on the line don't tend toward the svelt, so I don't know how they like them). The color scheme works. I like the Wolf Gray alternates - I loved the evil green too, and own a #12 green jersey with my name on the back and it's my favorite Seahawks item.
Now, with my birthday just around the corner, I am ready to load up on 'Hawks gear, and I suddenly have the means to pop for a new jersey! Our finances usually run towards a T-shirt, or maybe a sweatshirt, or, if the timing is right and I can combine it with the need for a new coat, I can double up and get a nice Seahawks coat. But the ability to go Full Jersey on the b-day is an exceptional boon, and I am practically giddy.
But then I started shopping, and my disappointment is palpable. Even my wife, who hides in the bedroom on gameday to avoid my outbursts, noticed my giddiness dissipate the more I shopped.The new jerseys don't have the logo on them for goodness sakes! I might as well get a department store "jersey" with mostly the right colors! If I wear that thing proudly into the office, nobody will know who my team is! The only thing on these jerseys that says, "Seahawks" to anyone who doesn't follow the NFL as closely as we do is the WORD written on the front of the left shoulder. I could do that with a damned sharpie! I could wear a blue jersey styled shirt with "Seahawks" on it in block letters and get the same effect. Without the logo, there is a distasteful generic feeling to whole affair. The Seahawk hawk logo is beautiful to me. It makes me happy to see it, and happy to wear it. Why somebody made the decision to leave it off the jerseys, I don't know. More importantly, how that person got away without a good, old fashioned horse whipping, I don't understand at all!
I may have to settle for a slew of T-shirts and maybe a new sweatshirt, and a new hat or something. But if I do that, what will I wear on Game Day? In general I wear Seahawks gear to work every Friday. A jersey on Sunday. Following a win, I wear a jersey to work on Monday. Following a loss, I wear a Seahawks T-shirt on Monday.
Also, my jersey collection is getting a little thin. I have two #8 Hasselbeck jerseys, one white, one blue. I retired them to a box under my bed until Matt retires. I also have a #51 Tatupu jersey in the same box - I guess I could get that one back out, but with Bruce kicking as much ass as he is, maybe I hold off on that :) We'll see. I have two #12 jerseys, the awesome personalized green one, and a home blue FAN version. All of my jerseys are of the replica breed. The green 12 is a step above I think, and the blue 12 has a sewn on FAN name plate.
Now that I have the means to spring for something fancier, I've discovered a couple things at once. The lack of logo wasn't the first confusion. The three grades of available jerseys was the first hurdle. The grades are: Game ($100), Limited ($135) and Elite ($250). The Game jerseys are the replicas and the Elite are the same as those we see on the players every Sunday, and the Limited are the bastard child of the two. According to the Nike website:
- No- tag neck label for clean comfort
- Silicon print numbers for a light and soft feel
- Tailored fit designed for movement
- Flywire strength resists stretch around the neck
- Highly flexible premium twill numbers
- Strategic ventilation over major heat zones
- The same technology and materials as the NFL's on-field jersey
- Zoned stretch fabric tailored for precise fit and movement
- Highly flexible premium twill numbers
- Water-repelling fabric to stay lightweight all day
For a $35 difference in price, the bump up to the Limited seems like a no-brainer to me. For a $115 bump from there to the "Elite", staying at the Limited is also a no-brainer. I mean for fuck sakes, for $20 more than an Elite, I could get Home and Road Limited jerseys!
But none of that addresses the LACK OF A FUCKING LOGO! The hawk, man! The SEA! HAWK! Why would there not be a hawk on the jersey?!? Where other teams have their logo on the shoulder, albeit with a Nike swoosh toupee, the Seahawks get a bigger Nike swoosh and NO FUCKING LOGO! It's sorta pissing me off by now. It might not be the case if I was a bigger Nike fan, but I'm really a Seahawks fan at heart, and am not going to switch allegiances at game 5 of the season to an apparel company!
So...am I crazy? Should the lack of a logo be a deal breaker on the new jersey? Should I go with a #10 Zorn jersey to remind myself and others how long I've been a fan of this particULAR FUCKING LOGO? Should I go with other modern era gear, that does have the logo?
I am confused and disappointed! Maybe I'll just run to Sears and buy a power tool I'll use twice in my life instead.

Robert Eugene Sweem, 70, rural Bayard
Robert Eugene (Bobby/Bob) Sweem, 70, of rural Bayard, passed suddenly from this earth into his heavenly home on March 6, 2013 at Regional West Medical Center. A casual celebration of Bob's life will be held at 10:00am on Monday, March 11, 2013 at the Bayard Church of Christ with Pastors Lee Eads and Rick Parker officiating. Interment will be at Angora Cemetery. A fellowship lunch will be held at the Angora Community Center following committal. Visitation will be one hour prior to service time at the church.
The family respectfully requests that in lieu of any flowers, memorials in Bob's honor be made in care of Camp Rock, 8092 RD 81, Bridgeport, NE 69336; or Red Willow Sunday School, 11466 RD 85, Bayard, NE 69334. Online condolences may be left at www.jolliffefuneralhome.com. Jolliffe Funeral Home in Scottsbluff is in charge of arrangements.
Bob was born on June 8, 1942 to Robert Bowen and Elva (Fiscus) Sweem on the place his dad and grandpa Sweem had homesteaded. He was still living on the same place farming and ranching at the time of his death.
Bob will be remembered by all who knew him by his easy-going, soft-spoken manner, and "dry" sense of humor. His compassion, humility and integrity were some of his most notable attributes. He worked for Great Western Sugar Company for many years, starting in the fall of 1960. He also worked as a ditch rider for Northport Irrigation for several years. Working away from home was a necessity, but he was most content to be home tinkering with his tractors and other machinery, farming, and raising cattle. He raised purebred Shorthorn cattle for many years, just as his parents had.
Many people will remember him as a great musician who played the fiddle at nursing homes and other community events throughout the valley. For years his mother "chorded" for him and they won several first place awards at the Crawford fiddling contests. Most recently people will remember him playing with Lew Russell on the guitar and Lila Brandt on the piano.
Bob was a faithful member of the Red Willow Sunday School and their delegate to Camp Rock for years. He was always willing to lend a helping hand wherever needed.
Left to mourn his passing are cousins Joyce (Lew) Russell, Jeannie (Gary) Tyree and their families, neighbors and friends, as well as many other cousins and a host of music lovers who will all miss him greatly.
He was preceded in death by his parents, aunts Dema Garvin and Bessie McRae, and cousin Mary Belle Beck (3-18-12).

www.livingsocial.com/cities/1787-salt-lake-city-citywide/dea>>> Isn't this lovely. Next thing you know there will be a toll booth at the base. Terrible on so many levels.
is that guy selling rope jumps an accredited guide?
I have a positive life outlook, but I realize that life isn't 24/7 cute college co-eds in bikinis and shitty music. (I go to MSU Brozeman though, so there might be more titties in other places)
The number of bolts they added shows they didn't know what they were doing. Even though there is some free fall at the beginning of the swing, the loads are pretty small. If I recall, there were five bolts included in their anchor.
Hell yeahhhh! Love it! Back in the good ole days this was 100% cool. I still cant let climbing and the stuff that goes with it get sucked in by the masses and the "access freaks"
Corona Arch is not on BLM land. It is owned by the State of Utah. It is a School lands trust parcel, the same as the piece of property at the base of Castleton Tower that was purchased by the Accessfund. They do not give a shit about what happens there and no permit is needed. I have been contacted several times this season to rig the thing for TV shows. I have politely told each to toss off. Chuck James is at the helm of "safety Nuts", great. None of the staff are certified anything.
S Denny you sir are also an idiot. If you call no climbing management plan and a total clampdown "working fine" Currently there is a total ban on any new fixed protection, the revocation of Desert Highlights permits to guide canyoneering in the park and a moratorium on any new commercial climbing or guiding permits. Recreational climbing contiues unfettered however the options for the new climbing managment plan include permitting and possible daily limitations on RECREATIONAL climbers at numbers as few as 12 per day.
How many arches are protected from rope scarring/bolting? Most, I think. How many arches are this big and, well, unique? Not many that I've seen, unfortunately. Where does the more that rope people can't swing and rappel off arches come from? This may be the best point for the anti/not happy crowd, depending on when the arch was first bolted and how many canyoneers/climbers/etc had the opportunity to bolt and decided not to based on ethical considerations. Similar to bolting a classic trad route for mere convenience, it could be construed as unethical. After actually reading some opinions on it I tend to think the non-bolted route is best long term. My first reaction to hearing it was bolted was "wtf!?" which was quickly replaced by thoughts of using those anchors :) I did rappel off it, probably didn't help the grooves. Don't feel particularly good about it. Live and learn.
www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/55750452-78/arch-swing-james-coro>>> shut down for commercial use already, the 200$ a jump gravy train is over
pretty sure that article says that commercial use was shut down. no more permits granted to businesses to do it because it would put some liability on the state. Didn't read anything about private parties not being allowed to go do it...taking their lives into their own hands.
i feel bad for the people that were there just trying to check out some cool scenery only thing missing is some jet skis
Out of curiosity, is this the arch that's just off Wall Street (maybe a 20min walk from the last campground there)? If so, wow, that's a beautiful area. Not sure I'd want it infested with screaming people anyway. But damn that's a huge swing. I didn't even think one could climb it when I was there, let alone swing off it. Anyone see the human slingshot that they have at the end of that video, too? WTF?
This has just been closed to commercial guides. This is not BLM land but state land (SITLA). www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/55750452-78/arch-swing-james-coro>>>

You might think with no shortage of Jim Henson creations to choose from that a Muppets movie doesn't need star power to back it up. But cameos have been a staple of the franchise since the beginning and that's not stopping with the latest entry in the series, "Muppets Most Wanted."
From Tom Hiddleston to Lady Gaga to Selena Gomez to Diddy, all pop up and more in these two new trailers for the movie that have been unveiled this afternoon. This latest adventure finds Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, The Great Gonzo, Animal and the gang, on tour in Europe, traveling through Berlin, Madrid and London. But they are soon caught up in a crime caper lead by Constantine — a dead ringer for Kermit — and his sidekick Dominic, played by Ricky Gervais. Tina Fey and Ty Burrell are also along for the ride in this one too.
See how it all unfolds below. "Muppets Most Wanted" goes on the run on March 21, 2014.

Even though I'm a huge Muppets fan (almost time to watch their Christmas Carol yo) I never saw the last Muppets with Jason Segel. Something about it made me fearful it just wouldn't live up to my expectations. But this looks great. I was laughing the whole time, and it actually has a very good premise. Can't wait.

Saturday night Tim Sylvia fought a recent UFC refugee. A man who gave rising star Stefan Struve all that he could handle. A man who pushed UFC mainstay Cheick Kongo more than ten minutes, surviving an illegal blow and a damaged hand. A man who once challenged for heavyweight gold. And Tim Sylvia demolished him.
It's easy to hate Tim Sylvia. It seems to those who don't know him well that he combines the personality of a douchey commodities trader with the physical appearance of a slightly backwards game warden. It's easy not to care about Sylvia's career. After all, by coming into fights well north of 300 pounds and making no effort to play the media game, it hardly seemed like Sylvia himself cared.
But talking to him last week, I felt like "Big" Tim was turning a page. He was making an effort to answer my questions. He had gotten his weight down to 274 pounds. And he showed he was still a player in this game by making Buentello look silly.
Tim Sylvia is a UFC level fighter. Right now, he's a top 10 heavyweight. He can test the younger fighters rising up the ranks and might even give a handful of the elite a scary moment or two. While he's still relevent, while he can still compete with the best, Sylvia should be fighting for Zuffa. Joe Silva and Monte Cox: make it happen.

David Brooks wrote a very Brooksian column for today's New York Times about how our culture was more dynamic when there were competing status hierarchies and how our current situation of one hierarchy means that the successful are less haunted by their own status and the less successful have nowhere to hide.
Now, normally we pay no attention to opinion pieces because our concern here at GetReligion is how straight news about religion is reported. But the column included this passage that I had to share:
In Corinthians, Jesus tells the crowds, "Not many of you were wise by worldly standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong."
Whoopsie! Not Jesus, but Paul! Brooks has since corrected the column and added a note reflecting the correction at the end. Another correspondent said he disliked the reference to Corinthians, as opposed to 1 Corinthians or 2nd Corinthians (the verses in question here are from the first chapter of 1st Corinthians, verses 26 and 27 and come from the New International Version, for what it's worth).
Our second example of how to mangle a Scripture reference does come from a straight news report, this time Politico. The story is about how Rep. Mark Sanford spoke at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference, which is for social conservatives:
In the latest stop of Sanford's comeback tour, he explained that "great moments follow moments of great difficulty."
Several months ago, Sanford recalled a supporter in the Palmetto State urging him to be more courageous in the spirit of Timothy 1:7. He called it "a pivotal point" in his race.
"You need to seize that verse and operate on it," he told the activists. "So I would simply ask as you build a movement to make a difference … be of courage."
Um, what is Timothy 1:7? The Apostle Paul wrote two letters to Timothy. In the first letter, in the first chapter, Paul tells Timothy to encourage people in Ephesus to reject the teaching and practice of false doctrine. The seventh verse is just a snippet of this portion:
Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.
In the second letter to Timothy, Paul writes with encouragement:

Diamondbacks fan misplays foul ball, spills beer on lady friend
By Haboob Blog

Entering play Tuesday, the Arizona Diamondbacks lead all of baseball with 27 errors.
But the players on the field aren't the only ones struggling to make plays when the ball comes their way.
In Monday night's game against the Colorado Rockies, a foul ball off Miguel Montero's bat was badly misplayed by a fan, who spilled his beer all over the lady sitting next to him.
D-backs broadcasters Steve Berthiaume and Bob Brenly then decided to break down the situation.
"The beer died a hero," Berthiaume said. "But she is not happy. Not happy. There won't be a second date."

During his Mass celebrating the Solemnity of the Annunciation, Pope Francis emphasized that salvation is a gift from the Lord which we ought to receive with humility and obedience, just as Mary did.
"In order to receive this salvation, we need a humble heart, a meek heart, an obedient heart. Like that of Mary," the Pope affirmed in his March 25 daily Mass.
Addressing those gathered in the Vatican's Saint Martha guesthouse chapel, the pontiff recalled the story of Adam and Eve, noting that it was out of pride that they disobeyed God and ate the fruit he had forbidden them to touch, explaining that it was Mary who untied this knot of disobedience with her own act of obedience.
"The Lord is walking alongside his people" the pontiff reflected, asking "and why does he walk alongside them with so much tenderness? It's to soften our hearts."
Observing how Jesus explicitly says "'I will make your heart of stone become a heart of flesh,'" the Pope repeated that the Lord's tenderness is "to soften our hearts to receive a promise he made in Heaven."
"Sin entered among mankind but from another man comes salvation," he continued, adding that "this very long road will help all of us to have a more human heart, closer to God, not so proud, not so self-sufficient."
Reflecting on how the day's liturgy demonstrates the various stages along the road of recovery from sin, the pontiff also expressed that it speaks to us of both obedience and meekness regarding the Word of God.
"Salvation cannot be bought or sold: it's a gift. It's given to us, it's free. We can't be saved through ourselves: Salvation is a totally free gift," the Pope emphasized.
Highlighting how "It's not bought through the blood of bulls or goats: it can't be bought," the pontiff stated that in order to receive this salvation, we need "a humble heart, a meek heart" and "an obedient heart. Like that of Mary."
"And the model for this road towards salvation is the same God, his Son, who didn't consider being equal to God" something to be grasped, the Pope observed, adding that "Paul said this."
Continuing, Pope Francis stressed the need of walking along the road of humility with "obedience and meekness in our hearts," and encouraged those present to give thanks to the Father, who gave his only Son "in order to save us."
"This is the God who is waiting for us every day," he affirmed, "Let's look at the icon of Eve and Adam, let's look at the icon of Mary and Jesus."
Bringing his reflections to a close, the pontiff urged all to "look at the road of history with God who walks alongside his people," and to say "'Thank you. Thank you Lord because today you told us that you have given us salvation.' Today is a day to give thanks to the Lord."
During his Mass celebrating the Solemnity of the Annunciation, Pope Francis emphasized that salvation is a gift from the Lord which we ought to receive with humility and obedience, just as Mary did.

Robert Morstein-Marx: Did Caesar Cross the Rubicon?
Tuesday, February 5, 2013
6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Building 110, Room 112
Notoriously, Caesar does not even mention crossing the Rubicon at the beginning of the Civil War. This invites consideration of what was at stake in the development of the "Rubicon myth" from its origins in the history of Asinius Pollio to our own times -- and of the processes of simplification that inevitably attend efforts to extract meaning from historical memory.
Robert Morstein-Marx is Professor of Classics at UC Santa Barbara. He is a specialist in Roman republican history and oratory; his current research focuses on "Julius Caesar and the Roman People".

SOUTHWEST FLORIDA - Gay men and women all across southwest Florida have been celebrating over the Supreme Court's decision on the Defense of Marriage Act.
Brandon Intihar and Matthew Neff own a business together and plan to one day get married. Now they feel a same sex marriage is more than just a piece of paper.
"That is going to open up a lot of doors to a lot of savings and a lot of benefits throughout the government," said Intihar.
Possibly more than a thousand federal benefits like IRS deductions, tax free employer healthcare for spouses and social security benefits if one partner passes away.
"It just makes it even better because it is a real piece of paper and you have something there backing you up," said Troy French.
"It actually brought a few tears to my eye," said Dan Maltbie.
Maltbie and Gary Houston have been together for 30 years and tied the knot in Vernmont back in 2003. For months, they have been fighting to file for a joint bankruptcy on the federal level and now they have been assured it will go through. "It's another relief, another relief and a good one," said Maltbie.
"I was excited and think its fantastic," said congressional candidate April Freeman.
Freeman is running for Congress in a couple years and says there is still a lot of work to be done for true equality. "We have to have marriage equality in every state. It has to be a federal law," she said.
Since Florida does not recognize same sex marriages, those who are married in another state and moved here may not be able to take advantage of all of the benefits of a marriage between a man and woman.
Not everyone is celebrating a victory. The Catholic Church teaches marriage is between a man and a woman. Those in the faith who oppose same-sex marriage tell say their best response now is to pray and to vote.
"We're a devout catholic couple," Thomas Wurtz said.
He and and his wife Kate walked out of Ave Maria Oratory Wednesday carrying their baby girl and some disappointment in their minds. "I think marriage is an institution between man and wife," Kurtz said. "i'm against the decision. It's a poor decision. We did some prayers for it this afternoon after one of our sessions here. It's definitely something on a lot of minds of a lot of the young people here."
In Ave Maria, a town surrounding the Catholic university, traditional marriage is the norm. Word of the Supreme Court's decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act spread quickly.
"I've seen it all over Twitter and Facebook," Teresa Nuar said.
The first thought that came to nuar's mind when she heard the news is that "government can't change truth."
"The Church loves heterosexual couples. The church loves homosexual couples," Nuar said. "I am heterosexual and if I were to have sex outside of marriage, the Church would say the same thing. We don't like what you're doing. They are not condemning homosexuals, they are condemning what they are doing because what you do doesn't define who you are."
If God wanted two male parents or two female parents, Adam and Eve wouldn't be opposite sexes," Helen Jonas said. "It's the way God made it. God made it that way. He made us that way to procreate. Can't procreate the other way."
Catholics we spoke with said they're not surprised by the ruling. In fact, some expected it. And, they're ready to respond.
"Pretty much, vote and pray," Jonas said. "I think Catholics need to get a voice."
"I think society will come to see as it unfolds, the detriment that will have on family life which is the basic unit of society," Wurtz said.
Congressman Trey Radel also opposes the ruling. He said, "When our Federal Government starts defining and deciding marriage, here's what happens next. Our churches and our synagogues are threatened because we may have rabbis or priests who are asked to marry people of the same sex. And then, it becomes a lawsuit when they decide not to because the Federal Government is involved."

The only way Bootfest will ever be successful in attracting out of town visitors is to actually attract a major artist...not one of the honky tonk bar players that you consistantly see around here, but an actual major recording artist to headline. Otherwise it will largely be a local crowd. The thing about trying to draw one of these headliners.....No venue.....unless you could utilize the football stadium...and then there are the lack of alcohol permits for the venue and noise ordinances...June 1, 2011 at 11:28 a.m.

Tim Graber arrives in Sugarcreek to help his aunt and uncle with spring planting. At first, Tim doesnÆt fit in with his many cousins and their crowded lifestyle. But when he meets Clara Slabaugh, the local school teacher, he understands why the Lord brought him to Sugarcreek. Clara is shy and quiet. Scarred from a fire when she was small, Clara has resigned herself to living alone and caring for her mother, who tells her that no man will ever see past her scars, and that Clara needs to keep teaching in order to make ends meet. Her father passed away years ago, and her mother depends on her. But the scars mean nothing to Tim. He appreciates her quiet nature and her wonderful, loving way with children. Yet Tim has a sweetheart back home in Indiana. As these two hearts struggle to determine their path, tragedy strikes, and every other worry seems insignificant in comparison. Though they now face a life they never imagined, will Tim and Clara have the faith to step out and risk everything for a chance at true love?

Praise for Spring's Renewal: Seasons of Sugarcreek, Book Two…
"Clara is a well-crafted and relatable character. You'll soon be as partial to Clara as the author, especially as she develops and comes out of her shell."
