On May 12, 1797 while living in Paris, France Tom Paine wrote the following letter to a Christian friend who was trying to convert Paine to Christianity. Paine's response fits perfectly with this page regarding the origins of the Bible.
"In your letter of the twentieth of March, you give me several quotations from the Bible, which you call the Word of God, to show me that my opinions on religion are wrong, and I could give you as many, from the same book to show that yours are not right; consequently, then, the Bible decides nothing, because it decides any way, and every way, one chooses to make it.
"But by what authority do you call the Bible the Word of God? for this is the first point to be settled. It is not your calling it so that makes it so, any more than the Mahometans calling the Koran the Word of God makes the Koran to be so. The Popish Councils of Nice and Laodicea, about 350 years after the time the person called Jesus Christ is said to have lived, voted the books that now compose what is called the New Testament to be the Word of God. This was done by yeas and nays, as we now vote a law.
"The Pharisees of the second temple, after the Jews returned from captivity in Babylon, did the same by the books that now compose the Old Testament, and this is all the authority there is, which to me is no authority at all. I am as capable of judging for myself as they were, and I think more so, because, as they made a living by their religion, they had a self-interest in the vote they gave.
"You may have an opinion that a man is inspired, but you cannot prove it, nor can you have any proof of it yourself, because you cannot see into his mind in order to know how he comes by his thoughts; and the same is the case with the word revelation. There can be no evidence of such a thing, for you can no more prove revelation than you can prove what another man dreams of, neither can he prove it himself.
"It is often said in the Bible that God spake unto Moses, but how do you know that God spake unto Moses? Because, you will say, the Bible says so. The Koran says, that God spake unto Mahomet, do you believe that too? No.
"Why not? Because, you will say, you do not believe it; and so because you do, and because you don't is all the reason you can give for believing or disbelieving except that you will say that Mahomet was an impostor. And how do you know Moses was not an impostor?
"For my own part, I believe that all are impostors who pretend to hold verbal communication with the Deity. It is the way by which the world has been imposed upon; but if you think otherwise you have the same right to your opinion that I have to mine, and must answer for it in the same manner. But all this does not settle the point, whether the Bible be the Word of God, or not. It is therefore necessary to go a step further. The case then is: -
"You form your opinion of God from the account given of Him in the Bible; and I form my opinion of the Bible from the wisdom and goodness of God manifested in the structure of the universe, and in all works of creation. The result in these two cases will be, that you, by taking the Bible for your standard, will have a bad opinion of God; and I, by taking God for my standard, shall have a bad opinion of the Bible.
"The Bible represents God to be a changeable, passionate, vindictive being; making a world and then drowning it, afterwards repenting of what he had done, and promising not to do so again. Setting one nation to cut the throats of another, and stopping the course of the sun till the butchery should be done. But the works of God in the creation preach to us another doctrine. In that vast volume we see nothing to give us the idea of a changeable, passionate, vindictive God; everything we there behold impresses us with a contrary idea - that of unchangeableness and of eternal order, harmony, and goodness.
"The sun and the seasons return at their appointed time, and everything in the creation claims that God is unchangeable. Now, which am I to believe, a book that any impostor might make and call the Word of God, or the creation itself which none but an Almighty Power could make? For the Bible says one thing, and the creation says the contrary. The Bible represents God with all the passions of a mortal, and the creation proclaims him with all the attributes of a God.
"It is from the Bible that man has learned cruelty, rapine, and murder; for the belief of a cruel God makes a cruel man. That bloodthirsty man, called the prophet Samuel, makes God to say, (I Sam. xv. 3) `Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not, but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.'
"That Samuel or some other impostor might say this, is what, at this distance of time, can neither be proved nor disproved, but in my opinion it is blasphemy to say, or to believe, that God said it. All our ideas of the justice and goodness of God revolt at the impious cruelty of the Bible. It is not a God, just and good, but a devil, under the name of God, that the Bible describes.
"What makes this pretended order to destroy the Amalekites appear the worse, is the reason given for it. The Amalekites, four hundred years before, according to the account in Exodus xvii. (but which has the appearance of fable from the magical account it gives of Moses holding up his hands), had opposed the Israelites coming into their country, and this the Amalekites had a right to do, because the Israelites were the invaders, as the Spaniards were the invaders of Mexico. This opposition by the Amalekites, at that time, is given as a reason, that the men, women, infants and sucklings, sheep and oxen, camels and asses, that were born four hundred years afterward, should be put to death; and to complete the horror, Samuel hewed Agag, the chief of the Amalekites, in pieces, as you would hew a stick of wood. I will bestow a few observations on this case.
"In the first place, nobody knows who the author, or writer, of the book of Samuel was, and, therefore, the fact itself has no other proof than anonymous or hearsay evidence, which is no evidence at all. In the second place, this anonymous book says, that this slaughter was done by the express command of God: but all our ideas of the justice and goodness of God give the lie to the book, and as I never will believe any book that ascribes cruelty and injustice to God, I therefore reject the Bible as unworthy of credit.
"As I have now given you my reasons for believing that the Bible is not the Word of God, that it is a falsehood, I have a right to ask you your reasons for believing the contrary; but I know you can give me none, except that you were educated to believe the Bible; and as the Turks give the same reason for believing the Koran, it is evident that education makes all the difference, and that reason and truth have nothing to do in the case.
"You believe in the Bible from the accident of birth, and the Turks believe in the Koran from the same accident, and each calls the other infidel. But leaving the prejudice of education out of the case, the unprejudiced truth is, that all are infidels who believe falsely of God, whether they draw their creed from the Bible, or from the Koran, from the Old Testament, or from the New.
"When you have examined the Bible with the attention that I have done (for I do not think you know much about it), and permit yourself to have just ideas of God, you will most probably believe as I do. But I wish you to know that this answer to your letter is not written for the purpose of changing your opinion. It is written to satisfy you, and some other friends whom I esteem, that my disbelief of the Bible is founded on a pure and religious belief in God; for in my opinion the Bible is a gross libel against the justice and goodness of God, in almost every part of it.""—The Ungodly Origins of the Bible
Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.
Marcus Aurelius"—Live a good life. If there are gods and they are j | High Existence
Here's how it happened: About five thousand years ago, a bunch of religious and political hustlers got together to figure out how they could control people and keep them in line. They knew people were basically stupid and would believe anything they were told, so these guys announced that God God personally had given one of them a list of ten commandments that he wanted everyone to follow. They claimed the whole thing took place on a mountaintop, when no one else was around.
But let me ask you something: When these guys were sittin' around the tent makin' all this up, why did they pick ten? Why ten? Why not nine, or eleven? I'll tell you why. Because ten sounds important. Ten sounds official. They knew if they tried eleven, people wouldn't take them seriously. People would say, "What're you kiddin' me? The Eleven Commandments? Get the fuck outta here!"
But ten! Ten sounds important. Ten is the basis for the decimal system; it's a decade. It's a psychologically satisfying number: the top ten; the ten most wanted; the ten best-dressed. So deciding on ten commandments was clearly a
marketing decision. And it's obviously a bullshit list. In truth, it's a political document, artificially inflated to sell better.
I'm going to show you how you can reduce the number of commandments and come up with a list that's a bit more logical and realistic. We'll start with the first three, and I'll use the Roman Catholic version because those are the ones I was fed as a little boy.
Okay, right off the bat, the first three commandments pure bullshit. "Sabbath day," "Lord's name," 'strange gods." Spooky language. Spooky language designed to scare and control primitive people. In no way does superstitious mumbo jumbo like this apply to the lives of intelligent, civilized humans in the twenty-first century. You throw out the first three commandments, and you re down to seven.
This commandment is about obedience and respect for authority; in other words it's simply a device for controlling people. The truth is, obedience and respect should not be granted automatically. They should be earned. They should be based on the parents' (or the authority figure's) performance. Some parents deserve respect. Most of them don't. Period. We're down to six.
Now, in the interest of logic-something religion has a really hard time with-I'm going to skip around the list a little bit:
Stealing and lying. Actually, when you think about it, these two commandments cover the same sort of behavior: dishonesty. Stealing and lying. So we don't need two of them. Instead, we combine these two and call it "Thou shalt not be dishonest." Suddenly we're down to five.
And as long as we're combining commandments I have two others that belong together:
Once again, these two prohibit the same sort of behavior; in this case, marital infidelity. The difference between them is that coveting takes place in the mind. And I don't think you should outlaw fantasizing about someone else's wife, otherwise what's a guy gonna think about when he's flogging his dong?
But marital fidelity is a good idea, so I suggest we keep the idea and call this commandment "Thou shalt not be unfaithful." Suddenly we're down to four.
And when you think about it further, honesty and fidelity are actually parts of the same overall value. So, in truth, we could combine the two honesty commandments with the two fidelity commandments, and, using positive language instead of negative, call the whole thing "Thou shalt always be honest and faithful." And now we're down to three.
This one is just plain stupid. Coveting your neighbors goods is what keeps the economy going: Your neighbor gets a vibrator that plays "O Come All Ye Faithful," you want to get one, too. Coveting creates jobs. Leave it alone.
You throw out coveting and you're down to two now: the big, combined honesty/fidelity commandment, and the one we haven't mentioned yet:
Murder. The Fifth Commandment. But, if you give it a little thought, you realize that religion has never really had a problem with murder. Not really. More people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason.
To cite a few examples, just think about Irish history, the Middle East, the Crusades, the Inquisition, our own abortion-doctor killings and, yes, the World Trade Center to see how seriously religious people take Thou Shalt Not Kill. Apparently, to religious folks especially the truly devout murder is negotiable. It just depends on who's doing the killing and who's getting killed.
And so, with all of this in mind, folks, I offer you my revised list of the Two Commandments:
And second:
Two is all you need, folks. Moses could have carried them down the hill in his pocket. And if we had a list like that, I wouldn't mind that brilliant judge in Alabama displaying it prominently in his courthouse lobby. As long he included one additional commandment:
-George Carlin
"In a world where billions believe their deity conceived a mortal child with a virgin human, it's stunning how little imagination most people display." — Chuck Palahniuk
"The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person." — Chuck Palahniuk (Invisible Monsters)
"There is no such thing as a Christian child: only a child of Christian parents." ― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion
"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully." ― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

The fifth and final season of the hit AMC drama (which ends this Sunday) was split into two halves as is customary for many cable television shows. If that wasn't enough consternation, fans who originally bought the "season pass" of the entire fifth season on iTunes thought they were purchasing both halves in one sale. In fact they were just buying the first, and those who felt cheated were about to go on a killing spree like their favorite anti-hero Walter White.
But now, Apple, in an unprecedented move, is taking part of the blame and is offering a $23 credit to those who bought the first half of the season.
In an email to customers, Apple said it would offer a redeemable code:
"We apologize for any confusion the naming of "Season 5" and "The Final Season" of Breaking Bad might have caused you. While the names of the seasons and episodes associated with them were not chosen by iTunes, we'd like to offer you "The Final Season" on us by providing you with the iTunes code below in the amount of $22.99. This credit can also be used for any other content on the iTunes Store. Thank you for your purchase."

Book Review
Genre: Historical Romance
2004 Best Medieval-Set Historical Romance Nominee
His loyalty to Lord Kenworth aside, Roland St. Marten is pleased to walk through Lelleford's gate and claim the castle forfeited by its owner Lord Hamelin's treachery.
The Lord's daughter, Eloise, was stunned when her father fled, amidst protestations of his innocence and orders to keep Lelleford safe. When she opens the gates to Kenworth's agent, and finds Roland on her doorstep, she is furious. But Roland looks forward to wielding his royal authority over the beauty who has long tempted and infuriated him—Eloise was his deceased brother's betrothed.
The clash of wills is inevitable, and so are the passions that slowly surface. Roland comes to respect Eloise's staunch love and loyalty, and she begins to see him as an honorable knight. But falling for her would destroy Roland's career, unless they prove her father's innocence.
Using the age-old theme "my enemy, my love," Anton weaves a spellbinding romance, rich in historical backdrop, fiery characters and sexual tension. SENSUAL (Apr., 384 pp., $5.99)

SP1 stuck at "Downloading 1 of 2 updates (0% total, 0% downloaded)"
I don't know if I should make a new post or reply to this thread. I decided on the latter because I followed the tip you gave to BriLee, Brink.
Some background history:
I have a Dell Studio 1538 given to me for repair by a friend. It wouldn't boot so I did a Windows repair from the recovery partition. That worked except it restored the machine to factory defaults dating back to 2010 when he bought the machine. When I tried Windows Update it wouldn't work. I had exactly the same symptoms as BriLee. I read your post and followed the tip which resulted in the download of 135 upates! Thanks for that!
But all is still not hunky dory because only 132 were installed. The other 3 are supposed to install when shutting down except that they don't. The machine just sits there saying it is installing 1 of 3 updates. After a 24 hour wait it still said the same thing so I manually powered off.
I used Windows Update to check for updates again and it found another 2, one of which is Windows 7 SP1. I give it the OK to download and install but it does nothing other than say "Downloading 1 of 2 updates (0% total, 0% downloaded)"
Basically I'm stuck and have no idea how to complete this. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

What are the pros? Pretty
What are the cons? Can't really eat them fresh
I'm not sure if mine were true because the seeds I got were purple, yet my pods had green peas. Also, mine were not bush peas but had vines. I'm thinking that perhaps my seeds were accidentally hybridized somehow based on what I've read.
I will probably buy another packet next year to try to get some true seeds.
They are very pretty and worth growing, but bitter so don't try eating them right out of the garden--save them for soup.
Would you recommend this product to a friend?

I first met Christina Leigh at Engage11 in the Cayman Islands – she is such a wonderful, thoughtful, and talented wedding planner that any bride in Oklahoma would be lucky to have her as her wedding planner. Take a look at this beautiful rustic Greek wedding that she planned for Olivia and Bobby.
"When we first started planning our wedding, Bob and I knew we wanted our wedding to reflect us – laid back, fun and comfortable. From small details like wearing my great grandmother's gold ID bracelet to bringing some Texas country to our reception celebrating Bob's South Texas roots, We also wanted to weave in and celebrate our family's traditions as well as our make our own. Our ceremony took place at my childhood church and was a rich, deeply symbolic traditional Greek Orthodox wedding. You could hear a pin drop in the church as my grandmother sang the Lord's Prayer to our guest to start the ceremony. Following our bridesmaids, groomsmen and my nieces in the cutest deep yellow tutus, my father walked me down the aisle to my future husband. And I couldn't stop smiling. The perfect husband and the perfect wedding is any girl's dream and my dream was coming true at that moment.
After the ceremony, we all loaded up to head to the reception. At this point we were all ready to cut loose and celebrate. We were the first one's to arrive at Five Oaks Lodge and when I saw my vision of our reception come to life, it literally took my breath away. It was perfect! From the big wooden harvest tables and delicate floral to the ribbon wall and chalkboard list for reception seating, it was amazing! Bob got the party started by beheading the first bottle of champagne with a saber and cocktails were served on the rambling deck that overlooked a peaceful lake. A magnificent Mediterranean meal was served, complete with baklava made by my grandmother and aunts. Our first dance was magical and there wasn't a dry eye in the room. Toasts brought laughter, tears of joy and wonderful memories. And then the lodge erupted in traditional Greek dancing.. and the Cotton-Eyed Joe..and everything in between. Heels were kicked off, ties were loosened and the dance floor was packed until the final minutes of the night. We wanted a joyous celebration with our friends and family and we got all of that in spades.
Our day was perfect thanks to our wonderful vendors and planner. Christina Clayton coordinated our wedding with ease and didn't miss a single detail when bringing our vision to life. Five Oaks Lodge was the perfect setting for our rustic and laid back reception. The French Bouquet made the most beautiful and fun centerpieces and my bouquet was to die for. Tim Fitzgerald create a meal that people are still talking about and Icing on the Top made the most delicious cake. Lisa Dunham of LSD Photography and Aaron Snow of Aaron Snow Photography captured the joy and happiness of the day perfectly. Thank you to our families, friends and wonderful wedding vendors for making dreams come true and making our wedding the best party ever!"

Asafa Powell says he did not remember new supplements' names
Former 100-metre world record holder Asafa Powell says he did not tell a doping control officer about most of the supplements he was taking because they were new to him and he could not remember their names.
Powell, one of Jamaica's outstanding athletes after lowering the world record for the 100m to 9.74 seconds in 2008, made the disclosure in testimony during a hearing here Tuesday.
The Jamaican sprinter testified that he listed only three drugs on his declaration form.
"Sir, these were new supplements to me," declared Powell in response to a question from JADCO attorney Lackston Robinson.
"So due to the excitement of the trials, I couldn't remember."
Powell has been pleading his case before a three-member panel of the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) after testing positive for the banned stimulant oxilofrone last year.
Powell told the hearing that he received nine supplements from Canadian physical therapist Christopher Xuereb, including Ephiphany D1, which lab tests later found to contain oxilofrone.
The 31-year-old sprinter said he started taking Epiphany D1 capsules and other new supplements after he and a friend researched them for up to six hours online and found no prohibited substances.
"At first, we had no idea what caused the positive test or where it came from," said Powell who has blamed newly-hired physiotherapist Xuereb for the positive test.
"But Chris was the only new thing in my life."
Xuereb provided the drugs to Powell and former teammate Sherone Simpson, a three-time Olympic medallist who also tested positive, during national trials last June.
Powell told the hearing he knew he was responsible for what he put into his body, but that "in this sport, there are people you have to rely on," such as coaches and agents.
"Whatever I don't know, I can go to them," said Powell, who left his longtime team, MVP Track Club, in September.
Simpson's disciplinary hearings started last week and were expected to last for two days, but have been adjourned until early February.
It's not immediately clear if Powell's hearings will also be extended.

Q. My great-aunt kept a diary of old remedies for various afflictions. She advocated distilled white vinegar for wart removal.
I decided to try her remedy when I discovered an odd wart on my elbow. I attacked it by soaking my elbow in a pan of vinegar. Like most Americans, I desired a quick fix. My skin seemed pickled and I worried that the surrounding tissue would be eaten away altogether.
I was about to bail out when I realized that the skin around the wart was merely wrinkled yet undamaged. Only the wart itself was truly affected.
After two weeks, the wart was destroyed. The virus can't stand acidity.
A. Readers often tell us about the healing power of vinegar-from fighting dandruff and nail fungus to chasing away athlete's foot and warts. Unadulterated white vinegar may be too strong, though. Diluting it with twice as much water as vinegar makes a good soaking solution.
We are sending you our Guide to Home Remedies with more tips on uses for vinegar and other approaches for warts.
Anyone who would like a copy, please send $2 in check or money order with a long (no. 10) stamped (60 cents), self-addressed envelope: Graedons' People's Pharmacy, No. R-1, P. O. Box 52027, Durham, NC 27717-2027.
Q. I started having acid reflux in my late 50s. (I am now 64.) For a while, I took over-the-counter acid-controlling drugs with moderate success.
After reading in your column about the benefits of ginger tea, I tried a tea I found in the health food store. Tazo Chai organic spiced black tea contains ginger root, cinnamon bark, black pepper, cardamom seed, cloves and star anise seed.
I drink one or two cups a day, and the results are phenomenal. I have not had an episode of gastritis or acid reflux in two months.
In addition, I eliminated alcohol from my diet except for an occasional beer. I also watch what I eat. Your column set the wheels in motion for me.
A. We're glad you were inspired to make effective lifestyle changes. Eliminating alcohol and foods high in fat or culprits like tomatoes or onions can help control heartburn.
Ginger is a traditional Chinese remedy against nausea and indigestion. The other spices you mention are commonly used to flavor food. So long as you stick to one or two cups a day, they should not cause you any trouble.
People taking blood thinners like Coumadin (warfarin) should be cautious about adding any herbs to their regimen. Ginger may increase the risk of bleeding.
Q. I just had to let you know the success I've had with your suggestion to use Noxema for eczema. My 3-year-old son has suffered with this skin condition on his legs and feet for two years.
We treated it successfully with the prescription drug Elidel, but after learning of safety concerns, we checked with his doctor and stopped using it.
I tried many moisturizing creams to soothe his skin, but he cried and said they hurt. I started using Noxema the day I read your article, and there were no tears.
His skin responded quickly and after three weeks almost all traces of eczema are gone. This advice has changed my young son's life.
A. We are certainly pleased to learn of your success. Lore has it that the name "Noxema" was given after the product helped an early customer "knock" her eczema.

Mobile video solutions fall from the cloud at ISC West
Future seems to point to tablets and smartphones being the migration path for data interfaces
Panasonic got its start in the mobile video market with the introduction of the Arbitrator In-Car mobile video solution. It was purpose built for the law enforcement industry to install into police vehicles in order to capture video events based on predefined events.
"Police Departments can customize the event triggers that initiate the video to start the recording. The video is recorded and stored in the VPU 'Video Processing Unit' and can be used as evidence in the court of law to assist in the prosecution of a violator or exonerate an officer of a citizen complaint," said Parett. "In addition to recording an event, departments demanded the ability to stream video from their vehicle to a command center in order to increase their situational awareness. Mobile streaming video enabled police departments to gain situational awareness anywhere they can drive. This is an advantage they could not achieve with fixed surveillance cameras."
"Although, vehicle mounted mobile video was more flexible than fixed surveillance cameras they still had a need to have the video capture wherever the individual officer went. Thus, Panasonic worked with individual departments to create the body worn mobile video," Parett added. "This allowed departments to capture video wherever the officer could go. Some of the unique features required by law enforcement and delivered by Panasonic include a gyro in the camera that stabilizes a recorded image even when the officer is engaged in an all out foot pursuit."
Mobile video capture and streaming video increases the situational awareness and conviction rate for law enforcement. Mobile video helps keep the public safer.
Mobotix is also showing its mobile video solutions with its new Mobotix T24 App, which allows users to employ their iPhone or iPad to manage and control operations from the IP door station. The app provides notifications when someone rings the doorbell, enables two-way communication with visitors and can remotely open the door. It is also possible to retrieve voice mailbox messages, live images and recordings from all integrated door stations and cameras.
"With new technologies such as the M15 and the MOBOTIX App, we have significantly improved functionality that can help our partners deliver advanced and secure security solutions to their customers," said Steve Gorski, general manager, Americas, for Mobotix. "We continue to redefine the industry with a decentralized approach to surveillance, delivering a cost-effective and reliable high-resolution surveillance solution."
Another player in the mobile surveillance market at ISC West is Sentry View Systems which launched SiteCOMMANDER - a fully mobile command and control solution. Whether it is deployed on a tablet, laptop, desktop or server, SiteCOMMANDER provides on-the-go management of complex remote surveillance data. Capable of connecting to 150 separate NVR servers simultaneously, SiteCOMMANDER provides flexible distributed data management and eliminates single points of failure across server networks. Security personnel are not bound to a desktop environment. This frees them to perform other high priority security duties while maintaining command and control access through an easy to use mobile interface.

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla.- A charity for children cleared of wrong doing! The Collier County Sheriff's Office says there is no evidence the Toys for Tots program mishandled money.
"I feel there has been some wrong doing by it's officers and it's board of directors."
Robert Knee, a former member of the Marine Corps League of Collier County is still not convinced.
In May, he and another member, called the investigation into alleged mishandling of money and altering checks with the Toys for Tots Foundation.
"What they are saying is the money went to the kids to buy toys, I'm not arguing that, I am saying that the local detachment leaders or whoever was involved made a decision that they could do it better than the national Toys for Tots Foundation," said Knee.
The attorney for the Marine Corps has said all along there was no misuse of money and is pleased with the outcome of the investigation.
"The thing that important in this regardless of who the check was made out to, whether it was the local Marine league or the national, the monies went to the children, not a penny went to an individual," said Attorney Jerry Berry.
Deputies say the Marine Corp established a local bank account that evenutally became a joint account with Toys for Tots, that was a violation of policy, but there was no criminal intent.
"When people were writing a check, they may put Marine Corp on the check, but in the memo say Toys for Tots or vise versa, which made it hard to decide where the monies went," said Lt. Chad Parker with the Collier County Sheriff's Office.
Florida law says for there to be embezzlement there has to be a theft of money, something the investigation didn't show. Right now, the Salvation Army is running the Toys for Tots program. Berry says it up to the national league to decide if they will lift the suspension.

Aldo Moro (September 23, 1916 – May 9, 1978) was an Italian politician and the 39th Prime Minister of Italy, from 1963 to 1968, and then from 1974 to 1976. He was one of Italy's longest-serving post-war Prime Ministers, holding power for a combined total of more than six years.
A leader of Democrazia Cristiana (Christian Democracy, DC), Moro was considered an intellectual and a patient mediator, especially in the internal life of his party. He was kidnapped on March 16, 1978, by the Red Brigades (BR), and killed by them after 55 days of captivity.
Moro was born in Maglie, in the province of Lecce (Puglia), into a family from Ugento. At 4, he moved with his family to Milan, but they soon moved back to Puglia, where he gained a classical high school degree at Archita lyceum in Taranto. Till 1939 he studied Law at the University of Bari, an institution where he was later to hold the post of ordinary professor of philosophy of Law and Colonial Policy (1941) and of Criminal Law (1942).

In a major reversal, the Presbyterian Church (USA) voted Tuesday to allow the ordination of gay folks as ministers. This brings the church in line with a number of other mainline Protestant churches. Sadly, the issue has already prompted a number of congregations to leave the church. But the vote went well, without too much controversy in the end. From the New York Times:
Although by the time the vote was taken in Minneapolis the outcome was expected, Presbyterian church officials said that even a few months ago they would not have predicted that the church was ready to change its policy.
"All of us are surprised," said the Rev. Gradye Parsons, the church's stated clerk, its highest elected official. He attributed the turnabout in the votes to both the growing acceptance of homosexuality in the larger culture, and to church members simply wearying of the conflict.
"We've been having this conversation for 33 years, and some people are ready to get to the other side of this decision," he said. "Some people are going to celebrate this day because they've worked for it for a long time, and some people will mourn this day because they think it's a totally different understanding of Scripture than they have."
For those wondering, the sky did not fall yesterday, the ten plagues did not repeat, and I've seen no reports of goats becoming ministers.
Congratulations to the organizers who have worked so hard to bring about this change!

Map of our approximate route.
The feeling at the trailhead is one of peace. The air is quiet and still, warmed by evening light. It's 6:30 PM. Four miles of unfamiliar trail stretch out below my feet. Watanga Lake is my destination. Derek and his dog Rufus hiked to the lake to establish camp earlier in the day. I will meet them at the lake this evening.
The gatekeepers of good livin'.
The initial rush of joy is quickly sobered. The trail enters a forest massacred by beetle. The wiry shadows weave in and out of each other like a spider's web.
Elegy for a dead forest.
If stars made a sound.
The first half-mile of trail ascends steep switchbacks into the mouth of the valley. I can hear Roaring Fork Creek but I cannot see it. Thick underbrush guards the wilderness.
Everything's gone green again.
A trailside monument.
The trail and creek converge. I cross the log bridge, the first of three crossings on the approach to the lake.
Nature's palette.
Water, water, everywhere.
Roaring Fork Creek in its thunderous glory.
The sunlit south flank of Watanga Mountain comes into view. The forest darkens just a little more.
I reach a trail junction at 7:51 PM. Watanga lake is another mile or two away.
The second creek crossing.
Flowers like fireflies.
I cross the creek one more time.
Another trailside curiosity.
Daylight runs in the other direction. I smell wood burning. I pick up the pace under a darkening sky.
I reach Watanga Lake at 8:52 PM. A small campfire flickers from across the lake.
Derek greets me with a handshake and a cold can of Dales. His dog Rufus greets me with a wet lick and cold nose. They climbed Watanga Mountain together earlier in the day. I unroll my bivy, take a seat on a log beside the fire, and down the beer. Stress pours away. It feels like a morphine drip. Sleep arrives by 11.
I wake twice in the silence of the night. The Great Spirit has no use for words.
I sleep well and relunctantly emerge from the bivy sack at 6 AM. It's not long before Twin Peaks receives the first light of day.
Little treasures in the golden hour.
The forecast is storm free. We don't rush breakfast and take the liberty of a late start. At 8 AM we begin walking towards the obvious low-point in the ridge between Twin Peaks and Roaring Peak.
We stay the course through trees and boulders.
We emerge from the trees and find a grass-covered ramp that provides easy access to the saddle.
We hike up the ramp to the saddle. The broad summit of Twin Peaks lies straight ahead. Roaring Peak is behind us.
We enjoy a nice and leisurely stroll across the saddle.
The north slope provides an easy ascent of Twin Peaks. In the distance, Roaring Peak, Mt. Adams, Longs Peak, and numerous RMNP 13ers form the horizon.
Lake Granby dominates the view to the southwest from the summit of Twin Peaks.
To the north, from left to right, are Chiefs Head Peak, Longs Peak, and Isolation Peak. Pagoda Mountain is dwarfed by the southern flanks of Longs Peak.
It's a beautiful day and we linger for twenty minutes on the summit of Twin Peaks. At 10 AM we retrace our steps to the saddle and begin a quick ascent of Roaring Peak. From the saddle looking up, it's hard to believe that Roaring Peak rises high enough to be a ranked peak.
Roaring Peak presents no difficulties. From the saddle we reach the summit in fifteen minutes.
The view of from where we came. This is Twin Peaks seen from the summit of Roaring Peak.
Numerous Indian Peaks 13ers dominate the view to the west from the summit of Roaring Peak.
Mt. Adams fills the view to the north. Derek and Rufus can go no further. The summit of Mt. Adams lies entirely within RMNP where dogs are not allowed. I check my watch and contemplate my future. It's 10:30 AM and the weather is good. The choice is easy - I go for it. And if the weather holds, I'll go for Watanga Mountain after Mt. Adams.
I bid farewell to Derek and Rufus. I'll see them later, back at the lake.
I locate a trail the cuts the steep western slope of Roaring Peak. I follow the trail towards Mt. Adams.
Roaring Peak creates an impressive form when seen from below. Sunlit Twin Peaks is visible in the background.
The summit of Mt. Adams is less than a mile away.
The sunny slope of Mt. Adams smiles back at me.
The grass turns to stone. The flowers remain flowers.
Majestic Columbine.
I reach the summit of Mt. Adams at 11:30 AM.
A future endeavor, Ogalalla Peak, fills the view to the west from the summit of Mt. Adams.
To the north, from left to right, are Longs Peak, Mount Meeker, and Isolation Peak.
I begin descending east towards the saddle between Mt. Adams and Watanga Mountain. Roaring Peak and Twin Peaks fills the view to my right.
More Majestic Columbine.
I continue towards Watanga Mountain. The summit is the high point of the broad tundra slope at photo right. The mountain on the left, in the distance, is Ogalalla Peak.
I descend to the saddle and start back up the other side, staying to the right of the nearest snowfields.
I approach the summit of Watanga Mountain at 12:55 PM.
Ogalalla Peak dominates the view to the west from the summit of Watanga Mountain.
Sky Pilots grace the summit.
The view into the Lone Eagle Cirque.
I leave the summit of Watanga Mountain at 1:15 PM. The descent to Watanga Lake is easy but sublime. I turn on some music and just cruise.
Nietzsche said "And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee." I wonder if that same sentiment applies to wildflowers.
I reach the lower basin at 2 PM. The lake isn't far. Winter's deep snowpack has recently melted away. Pristine wetlands have been left behind. I walk along their edge.
I hike past an unnamed pond perched on a bench above Watanga Lake. The impressive east face of Twin Peaks is in the distance.
I arrive back at camp where Derek and Rufus are relaxing. This is a magnificent place and it's difficult to leave. With some relunctance we tear down camp, pack our gear, and shoulder our packs. Thoughts of cold beer and warm food provide motivation. We start down the trail.
Farewell, Twin Peaks. I quietly say my thanks to the surrounding mountains and Great Spirit.
We make a fast-paced descent. At one point we encounter a female moose and her calf standing thirty feet off trail. The two animals remain still, stoic, fearless. They're staring right at us. Derek and I make an abrupt stop and hasty retreat. Rufus doesn't notice the beautiful beasts.
It's a dog's life.

really liked the book. i'm quite annoyed that there isn't #2 yet. I really like the whole idea of a prophecies ruling a village. But i kinda think( if ur smart) you could change a fate of a village. MY DREAM
"Twelve-year-old Jaxter Grimjinx comes from a family of thieves, but he's yet to perfect his own skills at the family business. When Jaxter's botched first burglary attempt results in the rest of his family being jailed - and a bizarre series of strange and dangerous events begins - the lad must leave his home in order to search for a way to save it. Fans of action-packed adventures that are filled with twists, turns, just enough danger to be a little scary, and plenty of humour will love The Vengekeep Prophecies." February 2013 Kids' Books http://www.nextreads.com/Display2.aspx?SID=5acc8fc1-4e91-4ebe-906d-f8fc5e82a8e0&N=606238
Boy who doesn't fit in family goes on quest and discovers himself and his unique talent, blah blah blah-- read it all before, right? Nope, this is fresh and different and funny. Even though it would be great to meet these characters again (and I think there is a sequel coming--bangers!), this story has an ending, not a cliffhanger.
You want prophecies? Fine. Then let's come up with a concept that sort of turns the whole idea behind them on its head. With great humor and dexterity Farrey creates a new fantasy world where magic is kept in check, only popping up once in a while to bite our heroes on the bum. Fast and funny, this is one of those rare 400-page novels where I wouldn't cut so much as a sentence or a paragraph if it meant making the story any shorter.

SummaryAdd a Summary
It's tough being the black sheep in a family OF black sheep, but such is the lot of Jaxter Grimjinx. It's certainly an honor to be next in a long line of thieves, con artists, forgers, fleet-fingered pilferers, etc. It's significantly less of an honor to be a clumsy klutz unable to pick even the simplest lock. But what he lacks in delicacy Jaxter more than makes up for with his love of herbs and spells, capable of undoing every protective magic they come across. Then it happens. In the village of Vengekeep it is customary to reveal once a year a tapestry that will predict the coming year. Produced hundreds of years ago by prophetic twins, Vengekeep relies on these prophecies. So imagine the horror of the townspeople when they discover that this year a horrific series of plagues and disasters will be visited upon them and their saviors will be those no good Grimjinxes. Of course they will be. The Grimjinxes found a way to fake the tapestry this year and they envision it as brilliant cover for their daring exploits. But that's all before the stories on the fake tapestry start coming true. Suddenly, it's up to the least reputable citizens in town to save everyone. And it's up to Jaxter to ultimate undo the damage his family has wrought.

Author Brian Farrey discusses The Vengekeep Prophecies
YOU CAN'T CONVICT WHAT YOU CAN'T CONFIRM. Jaxter Grimjinx is a born thief. At least, he's supposed to be. For generations, the Grimjinx clan has produced the swiftest, cleverest thieves in Vengekeep. The problem is, Jaxter is clumsy. So clumsy that in his first solo heist, he sets the Castellan's house on fire and lands his family in the gaol. Even Jaxter's skill for breaking magical locks can't get them out of this bind. Then a suspiciously convenient prophecy emerges naming the Grimjinx clan as the soon-to-be heroes of Vengekeep. It's good enough to get his family out of the gaol, but with a firestorm, a flood, and a host of skeletal beasts among the dangers listed in the prophecy, Jaxter is pretty sure a life in the gaol would be a better fate. Now—like it or not—Jaxter Grimjinx will have to become the hero he was truly born to be.

The Cleveland Browns have decided to start veteran Brian Hoyer over rookie Johnny Manziel, and it's a decision that comes as a surprise to nobody after both players struggled in Monday night's preseason game over the Washington Redskins. Mike Pettine stated that he wanted to name a starter on Tuesday, but he decided to hold off until this morning to dub Hoyer as his starter for at least the first few weeks. It's very possible for Manziel to start at some point this season, and some are highlighting the early Browns bye week as a time for a potential change.
Earlier this offseason, Pettine stated that it was more about Manziel vs. the playbook than Manziel vs. Hoyer, and it's something that not enough people paid attention to. Beating Hoyer would prove that Manziel gives the team the best chance to win games, but, in order to beat Hoyer he would have to do well enough in the category that gives the veteran the advantage; learning the playbook and adjusting to the NFL.
The NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Manziel had issues learning the playbook, as the Browns learned that he faced a "steep learning curve" after working out of a spread offense at Texas A&M where reads, protections (he also had elite tackles), and play calls were easy. Manziel had issues taking snaps under center, and he had to be helped by teammates when learning the terminology and plays of a new, pro-style offense.
We all made this more about Hoyer vs. Manziel than it should have been, just like we're making the Jacksonville Jaguars and Minnesota Vikings QB competitions more about Blake Bortles vs. Chad Henne and Teddy Bridgewater vs. Matt Cassel than we should. The main thing for these QBs is learning the playbook and adjusting, because they are first-round picks who clearly have more talent than the veterans in front of them; they just need to adjust. Looking at where Manziel is coming from and how raw he truly is, it was simply unrealistic to ask him to start, especially when studying some of his problems in the first two preseason games (incorrect reads, running too easily, issues dealing with speed of pass rushers).

The Convalescent (1918-9). Gwen John (Welsh, 1876‑1939). Oil on canvas. Tate.
John's contemplative studies of lone women in the calm surroundings of their home suggest intimacy and peace but also a simultaneous sadness. There is no narrative content but the title, The Convalescent, suggests a way in which we might read the painting. It relies rather on mood, atmosphere and closely toned harmonies of colour for emotional impact.

'Bonsoir avec Amour' at Notre Dame Academy
Notre Dame Academy held its annual fundraising gala March 29 at The Santaluz Club. This year's theme was "Bonsoir avec Amour," or "An Evening with Love." Notre Dame Academy families were excited to celebrate their love for the teachers and staff, and their dedication to support an outstanding learning environment. All attendees proudly showed their love by wearing red or donning a red accessory.
Another focus this year was to raise funds to create additional hands-on science opportunities for the students, as Notre Dame Academy continues to build and enhance its academic strength in STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Arts Math). The event was attended by more than 300 guests, including Notre Dame Academy parents, staff, administration and St. Therese of Carmel parishioners. The school is proud to announce this meaningful event was a great success!
