Route 5 study underway
The future of the Route 5 corridor began to take shape last month at Varina High School.
There, about 200 people attended a public information meeting to offer their opinions about traffic problems and transportation solutions along the seven-mile stretch of Route 5 from 7th Street in the city to Laburnum Avenue in Henrico. They also offered suggestions about what types of pedestrian and bicycle paths and road expansion plans they would like to see as part of the eventual growth of the corridor.
The meeting, hosted by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. on behalf of the Richmond Regional Planning District Commission, was one of the first steps in an 18-month study of the Route 5 corridor by six entities. The study – a partnership between Henrico, Richmond, VDOT, the GRTC Transit System, the RRPDC and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation – is designed to create a long-range master plan for a corridor that encompasses urban, suburban and rural areas – and one that will witness much growth in the coming years. Officials hope to establish plans for a variety of transportation options – from pedestrian paths to bus rapid transit service, bicycles and automobiles.
Planners envision the corridor becoming a friendly stretch for walkers, joggers and cyclists, among others.
"We're starting with a blank slate," RRPDC Principal Planner Lee Yolton told those in attendance. "We're looking for your vision. There is going to be a lot of future development. We want to try to get ahead of the curve."
In addition to the continuing growth of Rocketts Landing, located on the city-county line, the corridor will feel a significant impact from the development of Tree Hill Farm, just a mile or so east of Rocketts Landing. That project hasn't yet started but is expected ultimately to produce as many as 2,800 residences and 1.16 million square feet of office space. Farther east, near the Pocahontas Parkway, another huge mixed-use development – Wilton on the James – will bring another 3,200 homes and a town center for office and commercial space.
Some attendees complained about rush-hour traffic – particularly in the morning, when it can be difficult to enter Route 5 from feeder roads because of the steady parade of traffic.
Varina resident Ron Roane said he worries when he sees cyclists and pedestrians making their way along Route 5 on stretches where there are no shoulders. He's like to see the road widened, or turning lanes added, to alleviate some of the most congested intersections.
Varina resident Nicole Anderson Ellis would prefer that the road not be widened but that sidewalks with physical barriers be erected to provide a safe place for cyclists and walkers, while maintaining the historical nature of Route 5 (which is designed a Virginia Scenic Byway).
Resident Jeanne McNeil was lukewarm about the idea of widening Route 5, saying it was important to preserve the road's rural character but also important to create a separate path for walkers and cyclists.
"People have to be really steady bike riders" to use Route 5 in its current form, she said.
Another resident, Charles Hoover, said he's already witnessed three serious auto accidents near his home on Route 5 in the past year but doesn't want to see major changes to Route 5 that could threaten the region's rural environment.
Local residents Carlton Marshall and Tom Flynn both said they would worry about a bottleneck effect if portions of Route 5 were widened and others weren't.
Kimley-Horn planner Carl Tewksbury told the Citizen that the corridor presented unique challenges and opportunities because of how quickly it transcends several types of areas and, potentially, several modes of transportation.
"We're understanding more about how to accommodate all modes," he said. "It's really important how we transition from urban to rural."
As part of the study, officials already have conducted traffic counts along the entire corridor and rated (on a scale of "A" to "F") each intersection's ability to handle traffic during morning and evening rush-hour commutes. The Williamsburg Avenue intersection rated the worst during morning traffic (rating at the "D" level) but rated closer to the "A/B" level during afternoon commutes.
Capital Trail discussed
Much of the discussion among those who attended the forum centered around plans for the 54-mile Virginia Capital Trail, a state project funded primarily by federal dollars that will connect Williamsburg with Richmond and provide a path for bikers, walkers, skaters and other forms of non-automobile transportation.
The trail mostly will follow Route 5 and primarily be separated from the road. But a feasibility study conducted for VDOT by a consultant in the late 1990s recommended that most of the 9.5-mile Henrico portion of the trail be connected to the road as a wide shoulder or bike lane. That recommendation was made, according to Capital Trail Project Manager Ian Millikan of VDOT, because officials believed it could be difficult to obtain right of way from property owners to build the trail separately.
Several bicycle enthusiasts who attended the meeting urged anyone who would listen to support a plan for a separate path. Bud Vye, the advocacy chairman for the Richmond Area Bicycling Association, said that attaching the trail to Route 5 would be a mistake.
"We just don't want our segment to be the only substandard one – and it will be if this goes through like this," Vye said.
The organization's members are primarily those who enjoy riding recreationally and not competitively, Vye said. Many are hesitant to bike along Route 5 now because of the high speed limits and lack of shoulders or bike lanes. Creating a separate path off the road would open the historic corridor to many more people, he said.
Thomas Bowden, an attorney and chairman of Bike Walk Virginia's advocacy committee, agreed. Making the entire trail separate from the road would create a more user-friendly path that could serve as a strong tourist attraction, he said. But "it won't get use if it's disjointed," he said.
Though last month's meeting sought input about the entire corridor – including thoughts and ideas about what form the trail should take – the event was not connected to trail project itself, which is being completed separately by VDOT. VDOT intends to hold a public information session specifically to solicit input about the Varina portion of the trail (from the Richmond city line to Long Bridge Road) later this year or in early 2011, Millikan said. The agency could make changes to its plans for the trail's location afterwards, he said. (Details about the trail can be viewed online at http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/newcaptrail_welcome.asp). Construction of the Varina portion is expected to cost between $8 million and $9 million.
About 14 miles of the trail near Williamsburg are currently open; the entire trail is expected to be completed by 2014 or 2015, Millikan said.
Next steps
Officials next will conduct an analysis of existing conditions along the corridor, then try to project future conditions and analyze those before developing conceptual plans to address late this year and into early 2011. A concept plan will be issued early next year, Tewksbury said, and then two more public meetings will be held in March and May. Officials will issue a draft report sometime next summer or fall, he said.

A gift that should stop giving
'Jingle All the Way 2' is expectedly flawed
Was anyone asking for an extra-large helping of Larry the Cable Guy this Christmas? If so, you can thank Santa Claus for Jingle All the Way 2.
If not, you can be like the rest of us and curse Santa for his folly in creating such a film. Santa, we neither wanted nor needed this.
A follow-up to the much-derided 1996 Christmas film Jingle All the Way, Jingle All the Way 2 isn't so much a sequel as it is an odd kind of remake, offering a few original twists on the original's dad-vs-dad holiday showdown, but also copying large chunks of the original without alteration. > Read more.

Just because it's a holiday doesn't mean you have to disappoint your inner Organic Elitist. After all, Passover is a celebration of freedom and choices.
If you usually eat organic bread, why not eat organic unleavened bread? Hand made Shmurah Organic Matzoh is available online and at select grocery stores. Don't stop there. If you love organic chocolate, Vosges Haut-Chocolat makes bite-size organic chocolate covered matzoh. If you prefer pesticide-free apples, use organic apples when making charoset. Better yet, mix the apples with organic ingredients: walnuts, cinnamon, and wine. And while Manischewitz is tradition, organic wine will make a worthy replacement or a delicious additional bottle for the table. Even Elijah might appreciate a cup of organic wine this year.
From the Shank Bone to the Afikoman, there is sure to be an organic counterpart for every item on the Seder menu. Bread might be out of the question, but there is no rule against organics. So, lean to the left and enjoy. L'Chaim!

It's Dining With Death! Check out photos of toxic rodents, reptiles and toads that make a delicious meal in some countries.
A crocodile's bite is 10 times more deadly than the bite of a great white shark.
In Papua New Guinea, restaurants serve crocodile meat with turmeric to create a tasty stew. Some people believe eating croc meat can cure asthma.
Monitor lizards grow up to 9 feet long. A single bite can cause an allergic reaction that could lead to death.
A female monitor lizard can carry 30-40 eggs. The eggs are usually boiled in water and eaten as a treat in the Philippines.
In the Philippines, monitor lizard meat is usually cooked with coconut milk and chili. Filipinos believe eating the meat can help treat heart and liver problems.
In 2008, a small village in the Philippines became deathly ill after eating the cooked flesh from hawksbill turtles. The turtles eat a variety of toxic sea sponges.
Despite the health hazards, several villagers continue to eat the meat from hawksbill turtles.
In Thailand, a cane toad's skin is covered with alkaloid, a poisonous venom. The venom can enter the body through a cut or by eating the toxic critter.
Cooks must be skilled to prepare a dish with poisonous cane toad as the main ingredient. In Thailand, some locals deep fry the toads in garlic.
A Vietnamese man skins rats after boiling them in hot water. Rats can carry a bacterial infection called leptospirosis that can liver and kidney failure.
Three thousand tons of rats are consumed in Vietnam each year.

Sen. Jim Bunning was not a popular man among his Democratic colleagues this week. The Kentucky Republican, apparently so concerned about the federal budget deficit that he thought it unwise to allow the passage of legislation extending unemployment and health care help to jobless Americans, enacted a "one-man filibuster," as the Los Angeles Times put it, and he didn't budge by Friday afternoon despite the outrage coming at him from the other side of the aisle. —KA
Los Angeles Times:
The programs are set to expire at midnight Sunday, and the Senate's inaction could delay payments.
Democratic and Republican leaders had agreed to pass a one-month extension through a process known as unanimous consent, in which no formal vote was required. But Bunning's objection means the bill can't go forward. The extension had been passed by the House and was ready to be signed into law.

Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.

Don't get caught up with John Wayne religion. For one thing, he's not Texan. He's in some fine movies involving Texas, most notably The Searchers, but none of his movies can make the best cut of Texas movies. Here's the short list.

So here's some blurts.
I don't like the look of wind farms in West Texas.
I don't like how those rows and rows of $2 million towers that turn mechanical energy to electric energy chop up a landscape that I love.
I do like that wind energy is clean energy. I do like the tectonic shift to green energy from dirty energy.
However, I don't like the NASA study on Texas wind farms. The NASA study that implies that windmills raise temperature. A nine-year study from space says the state had higher temperatures during the past nine years. Last year, the Year Texas Burned, the year some areas of the state had 100 days over 100 degrees, is still seared into our collective psyches. Motivated by denial, I recall that this study doesn't demonstrate a causal connection. It could be coincidental. It could be we're playing dice with the planet.
We could use a break from last year's Texas summer, the one the National Weather Service said is the hottest ever, beating the 1934 Oklahoma summer heat by 1.6 degrees. We could use a break from the summer that had the Bastrop wildfire that destroyed about 1,400 homes, more than any other in our state's history. But dang, it's already hot. Lubbock had a 104-degree day on April 24.
Again, we could be playing dice with the planet. Dang, dang, dang—it's hot.

New Firefox Virus Email – Don't Get Caught
Just a reminder that ANY email can have a virus laden link in it. The Mozilla organisation recently released a new version for its Firefox browser (version 8.0) and I've had a bunch of bogus emails with a link to download the latest version of Firefox.

US: Some Arab Leaders Offered Haven for Assad
November 10, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Some Arab leaders have told the United States they are willing to provide safe haven to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to hasten his "inevitable" departure from power, a senior U.S. official said on Wednesday.
Assistant Secretary of State Jeffrey Feltman did not identify the countries that had offered a place for Assad to go after seven months of protests against his rule in Syria.
"Almost all the Arab leaders, foreign ministers who I talk to say the same thing: Assad's rule is coming to an end. It is inevitable," Feltman, who is in charge of near eastern affairs, told a Senate panel.
"Some of these Arabs have even begun to offer Assad safe haven to encourage him to leave quickly," Feltman said. He hoped Assad and his inner circle would "head for the exits voluntarily."
Assad has shown no sign of leaving. Syrian troops shot dead eight protesters and injured 25 in Damascus earlier Wednesday, activists said, in one of the bloodiest incidents in the capital since the upraising against Assad began.
More than 60 people have been killed by the army and security forces just since last week, when Assad's government signed a peace plan sponsored by the Arab League.
Western governments led by the United States have called on Assad to leave power. Feltman said the United States would continue to support the Syrian opposition while diplomatically and financially pressuring the regime, "until Assad is gone."
U.S. and European financial sanctions were "tightening the financial noose around the (Assad) regime," he added.
But the United States did not seek militarization of the conflict: "Syria is not Libya."
Washington favored multilateral sanctions on Syria at the United Nations, Feltman said, adding that if Russia and China continued to block a Security Council resolution condemning Syria, Washington would consider other steps.
The United States favored European-led efforts to introduce a resolution in the U.N. General Assembly's human rights committee that would insist on access to Syria for internationally recognized human rights monitors, Feltman said.
He feared the transition to democracy in Syria could be long and difficult, and had no answer when Senator Richard Lugar asked who might replace Assad once he is gone.
"That's one of the real challenges, because the opposition in Syria is still divided," Feltman said.
Feltman said the U.S. Commerce Department was investigating whether Internet-blocking equipment made by a U.S. company, Blue Coat Systems Inc, had made its way to Syria, which is subject to strict U.S. trade embargoes.
Blue Coat, of Sunnyvale, California, said in a statement on its website that some of its equipment apparently had been "transferred illegally " to Syria, but that it did not know who was using the devices or exactly how. It said the company was cooperating with the U.S. government investigation. News reports have said Syria is using the equipment as part of its crackdown on protests to monitor and block Internet traffic.

Al-Qaeda Prisoners Escape in Yemen
June 30, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Mohamed Sudam
SANAA (Reuters) – A senior U.S. official pressed the Yemeni government on Wednesday to implement a Gulf Arab initiative calling for President Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down to end months of protest, Yemeni officials said.
The United States and ally Saudi Arabia fear that a power vacuum and tribal warfare in Yemen will be exploited by the local wing of al Qaeda to launch attacks in the region and beyond.
On Wednesday, dozens of al Qaeda militants escaped from a prison in the city of al-Mukalla in southern Yemen, the latest in a series of increasingly deadly clashes between security forces and militants in the south of the country.
A Yemeni government source said Jeffrey Feltman, the U.S. Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs, met Foreign Minister Abubakr al-Qirbi and Vice President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who is acting president.
"The American side insisted on implementing the Gulf initiative and then removing features of tension (protests), while the Yemeni side demanded that features of tension be removed first and then implementing the initiative," a Yemeni government source told Reuters.
Saleh has exasperated his rich Gulf Arab neighbors by three times agreeing to step down, only to pull out of a transition plan at the last minute and cling on to power.
Saleh is in Saudi Arabia recovering from injuries sustained in an attack on his palace in Sanaa nearly three weeks ago.
Feltman also held talks with Saleh's son, Ahmed Ali Abdullah Saleh, once widely seen to be next in line for the presidency until protests broke out earlier this year. No details emerged from the meeting.
As commander of the Republican Guards, the main strike force in Yemen, Ahmed Ali holds sway in the country of 23 million, which sits on the southern border of Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter.
Saleh has defied calls from global leaders, elements in his own military and tens of thousands of protesters to end his 33 year rule, which has brought Yemen close to financial ruin.
In an early bid to placate protesters demanding his ouster, Saleh guaranteed he would not hand power down to his son, but many Yemenis say key members of Saleh's family including Ahmed Ali remain firmly in control of key levers of power, blocking any political transition without Saleh's consent.
Opposition parties allied with youth activists have also insisted that Saleh formally hand over power to Hadi as a step toward a new government and democracy.
An aide to Saleh said on Wednesday his health was on the mend and that he had been receiving guests and giving instructions on day-to-day affairs in Yemen, including a power cut and fuel shortages.
"The president has rejected a request from several members of his family to come to Riyadh to visit him, and stressed that he will return home soon," said Ahmed al-Sufi, the president's media secretary told Reuters.
Dozens of al Qaeda militants escaped from a jail in southern Yemen on Wednesday following an attack on the compound.
One soldier was killed and two were wounded when militants opened fire on al-Munawara prison in al-Mukalla, a security official said.
"The militants opened fire on the prison gates and exchanged fire with the guards, injuring two and killing one," the security official said, adding that 62 prisoners had fled.
All the prisoners were Yemeni and most of them had been jailed after returning from Iraq where they fought in militant ranks, he said.

HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Small business owners were most impacted by connectivity issues such as phone and Internet service (56 percent), according to The Hartford Small Business Pulse: Storm Sandy, which surveyed New York, New Jersey and Connecticut small business owners who reported being impacted during or after Storm Sandy.
The survey revealed that 71 percent of impacted small business owners experienced power outage, which likely led to temporary disruptions in business operations. In addition, approximately three-fourths (74 percent) of impacted owners had to close their doors for a period of time, and it took them an average of seven days to reopen. While only 11 percent experienced structural property damage, 52 percent experienced loss of sales or revenue as a result of Storm Sandy.
"Our research shows that loss of connectivity had a big impact on small business owners, which affected their ability to contact customers and keep their businesses open," said Ray Sprague, senior vice president of the Small Commercial insurance segment for The Hartford. "We have found that small businesses who take the steps to prepare and protect the business, such as establishing emergency communication systems and backing up critical data, tend to be the ones that can prevail after weather emergencies."
Despite the notable effects of the storm, approximately nine out of ten owners (87 percent) said that they were equally or better prepared than other small businesses in their area.
The survey, which was fielded nearly three months after the storm struck the East Coast, also found that:
Storm Preparation
One out of four impacted small business owners (25 percent) prepared for Storm Sandy by creating backup copies of critical data and programs, while 20 percent prepared an emergency kit with essentials (e.g., flashlights, water) and the same amount protected their buildings from the elements (e.g., boarded up a storefront).
Prevailing in the Months Ahead
The survey showed that the consequences of the storm will continue to stretch beyond the immediate impact of a week-long closure. In order to recover from Storm Sandy, small business owners who were financially impacted are taking action, including adjusting their business strategy (35 percent), cutting costs this year (32 percent), and scaling back or stopping hiring new employees (25 percent).
Based on their experience with Storm Sandy, impacted respondents reported they would give the following advice to fellow small business owners:
"It's important for small business owners to talk with their agents about the right insurance for their businesses and make sure they are prepared for weather emergencies," said Sprague. "This can include everything from reviewing your current insurance coverage and addressing new needs to developing a business continuity plan. For business success, it's critical to prepare for the unexpected and protect the business and employees, in order to prevail in the months and years ahead."
The Hartford Assembles Expert Panel to Discuss Small Business Issues
Sprague and a panel of experts are speaking about the survey findings to New York area small business owners today. In addition to Storm Sandy, the panel discussion will explore the small business landscape and economic trends, as well as what it takes to maintain or grow a business in today's economy.
The panel is comprised of leading small business experts, including Sprague, as well as:

The Hartford Small Business Pulse: Storm Sandy Methodology
Braun Research conducted a telephone survey among small business owners impacted by Storm Sandy for The Hartford. A total of 451 interviews were completed with owners of for-profit businesses with three to 100 employees that have been in business for at least one year in the areas most affected by Storm Sandy. The sample included 150 small business owners within the five boroughs of New York, 150 within the entire state of New Jersey and 151 in the following counties in Connecticut: Fairfield, New Haven and Middlesex. One respondent per business was conducted. The interviews were executed between January 3, 2013 and February 13, 2013. The margin of error is +/- 4.6% at a 95 percent confidence level.

As part of our special report PLO: History of a Revolution , Al Jazeera looks at images that tell the turbulent story of the Palestinian struggle for a national home.
In 1964, the Palestine Liberation Organisation was formed with the belief that armed struggle was the only way to win back a Palestinian homeland from Israel.
Over the next four and a half decades, the organisation found itself expelled first from Jordan, and then Lebanon, and under attack in Tunisia.
Despite international recognition of the organisation in 1974, it would be two more decades before Yasser Arafat, the PLO's leader, would be allowed to return to the Palestinian territories.
An Israeli siege of Arafat's headquarters in 2002, and the subsequent death of the icon of the Palestinian struggle two years later, marked a period of decline for the PLO - one it has yet to recover from.

Forget silence. We need to talk.
Tyler Smither over at In The Parlor recently wrote a somewhat sensationalistic post about homosexuality entitled, "What You Believe About Homosexuality Doesn't Matter." He wants everyone to drop the subject and forget all about it like a certain uber-creepy Doctor Who monster. I usually respect Mr. Smither's writing, but his latest article is simply boneheaded and I feel compelled to reply to it. But before I do, let me remind my readers of my stance on the gay rights movement (which I strongly suggest you read before going any further). In particular, I would like to quote the fourth paragraph of my rather lengthy statement:
I only oppose the gay rights movement whenever it attempts to force organizations and individuals who object to homosexual lifestyles to recognize and support them, or else face loss of livelihood or be subject to character assassination. I am not in principle against granting individuals in longterm same-sex relationships greater access to healthcare and certain civil protections and benefits in common with marriage, nor do I think homosexual intercourse should be criminalized; in fact, in line with the Catholic Church, I support the universal decriminalization of homosexual intercourse across the globe as such laws incite nothing but violence. -- Pomeranian Catholic
That being said, I do believe the Church has the responsibility to charitably present the truth about human sexuality to all men and women who inquire about it. We certainly cannot and should not dictate the sex lives of people outside the Church, but we also cannot lie and say that sex outside a lifelong marriage between one man and one woman isn't sinful. We cannot pretend that artificial contraception, masturbation, and pornography are okay either. We have to stay true to all the principles of our Lord Jesus Christ (even the hardest ones), live them, and preach them. There is no room for compromise on that.
However, not everybody agrees with this position. Therefore, a debate exists—a healthy and necessary debate I might add, because few things are as fundamental as human sexuality. Believers who take the Bible seriously can't hand-wave the issue away because our Holy Scriptures, which we base the entirety of our lives upon, contain passages like:
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. -- 1 Cor. 6:9-11, ESV
We have to engage with Saint Paul's words. Either homosexual practices are a grave threat to living a good life in the here and hereafter, or Christ's Apostles are not reliable witnesses to God. And if the Apostles are not reliable witnesses to God concerning matters central to our salvation, why should we believe what the Bible has to say at all?
That's why I get really anxious when people try to shut down moral debates by saying "lives are at stake." Because that's precisely why we should have this debate—lives are indeed at stake, and afterlives too. The structure of the family and of society as a whole hinges upon who is right and who is wrong in this debate. Hysterically screaming at each other to shut up won't solve the problem. We who oppose acting out on homosexual attractions genuinely believe that the homosexual lifestyle gravely harms the self. Now, I'm not arguing we're right about that—we could be wrong, we could be misunderstanding the whole issue—I'm merely observing that the rhetorical knife cuts both ways. We can't shut down the debate and we shouldn't, because both sides instinctively understand that what we're fighting over is vitally important.
Perhaps a demonstration of the cheapness of the "lives are at stake" fallacy is in order: We should simply agree to prohibit same-sex couples from adopting children because kids are being abused by some same-sex couples; the time for debate has passed.
Most people can see that the above line of thinking is entirely unfair, because even if abuse rates among same-sex couples were higher than among heterosexual couples, that would not prove that homosexuality itself is a cause of the troubling statistical relationship; in other words, it would not mean that we should bar all same-sex couples from adoption. Mere correlation, in and of itself, is not sufficient to imply causation. Fallacious grandstanding like that serves only to emotionally intimidate and silence opponents. So let's just be honest with each other and talk about homosexuality like grownups.

Why We Shout In Anger
A Hindu saint who was visiting the Ganges River to take bath found a group of family members on the banks, shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his disciples, smiled, and asked:
"Why do people shout in anger at each other?"
His disciples thought for awhile. One of them said, "Because we lose our calm, we shout."
"But, why should you shout when the other person is right next to you? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner," replied the saint.
His disciples gave some other answers, but none were satisfactory. Finally, the saint explained:
"When two people are angry at each other, their hearts become distant. To cover that distance, they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other over that great distance.
"What happens when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly, because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is either nonexistent or very small...
"When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak, only whisper, and they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally, they need not even whisper. They only look at each other and that's all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.
"So when you argue do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance each other more. Or else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not be able to find the path to return."

A Brief Introduction to Mormonism
Me: Good to meet you, James. Thank you for taking the time today to share your beliefs.
James: Any time. What questions do you have for me today?
Me: Well, first of all, it would be great to give my readers a crash course in the LDS (Latter-Day Saints) faith in your own words. What does it mean to be Mormon, what do you believe, and why do you believe it? It doesn't have to be fancy, just an overview, straight from the heart. I'd also be interested in hearing about your perception of Catholics, what you think some of our most common misunderstandings are, and things that we do and say when dealing with Mormons that you wish we wouldn't.
James: To me, Mormonism is the search for, and the pathway back to God. It is the giving up of incorrect notions both secular and religous surounding who He is and what we have to do to find Him. Nothing could be more fundamental, nothing could be more important. This shows itself in many ways. For example, we believe in the Bible as the word of God, but also the Book of Mormon, which we believe, is another record of Christ and his dealings with the ancient inhabitants of the American continent. We believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost but as three separate and distinct beings. And we believe that the days of revelation and miracles are still upon us.
As to how I view members of your religion, I have been impressed with those Catholics I have met who are sincere in their faith and willing to follow the gospel of Christ. They have been considerate and willing to discuss beyond hot button topics. There are of course misunderstandings when it comes to the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith, and Eternal Progression. However, more fundamentaly I have noticed some Catholics feel that as a Mormon I am either pushing an agenda in order to deceive others or completely deceived myself and so deserve pity. I think it's hard for some Catholics to understand how a normal person, like myself, with a wife, three beautiful daughters, and a regular job can believe in Mormonism.
Me: You mentioned that Catholics have misunderstandings about the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith, and Eternal Progression. Can you please give my readers a little background on these subjects and the correct understanding of them? Also, I noticed that you are an active member of Catholic Answer Forums. What is your overall impression of the Catholic apologetics presented there? What about apologetics elsewhere? Do we Catholics do a good job of giving our message in truth and charity? Where and how can we make improvements?
James: Most of the concerns I have about how Catholic's view the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith have to do with pre-judging them before finding out about them. If someone conscientiously investigates both, asking God about the truth, I have very little concern. They made the effort and reached their own conclusion, but so few have truly done so.
The Book of Mormon claims to be another testament of Jesus Christ like the Bible. Written by prophets in the Americas beginning 600 years before Christ; it tells the story of their civilization, their teachings, and their personal journey's to find Christ. The climax of the book tells of Christ's visit to the people of ancient America. Now, this is an amazing claim. What if it were true?
We claim there is a way to find out. Simply read the book and ask God in sincerity if it is true. Is this not simple and straight forward? One person asking God. However, many would turn to the world. They would ask others who have not read it what to do. They would look on the internet and see what anti-Mormon's say. Typically these people do not even open the book, convinced before they even read a page, that it is false teaching ment to deceive and lead them astray. I marvel that somehow a religious book about Christ could cause such fear that people would not even open the book. I have studied it many times. I have asked God and I testify it is what it claims to be, a book which will teach us the way to Christ, if we allow it to do so.
Now, having not read the Book of Mormon, which Joseph claimed to translate by the power and gift of God, people precede to join the band wagon and call Joseph a fraud. I admit he is polarizing. To my way of thinking there are only two ways to take Joseph. He was either a fraud and liar who set about to deceive his followers to the end of his days, or he was one of the great prophets like Moses, or Abraham. Their is very little room for a rational opinion that settles in between these two extremes.
Why? Because he claims to have seen and spoken to God the Father and Jesus Christ, to have translated the Book of Mormon from gold plates found in a hill, to have received the Aaronic priesthood from the hands of John the Baptist, and to have received the Melchizedek priesthood from the hands of Peter, James, and John. Further, he claims to have been commanded by God to start plural marriage, before finally being killed for his beliefs.
So, was Joseph a conman of extreme proportion? If someone reads about him and comes to that conclusion then so be it, but I have found otherwise.
Probably the biggest problem I see with this issue is how it is presented. It is usually brought up for shock value. As though we LDS believe we are better than others, which is not the case. Or that God was a sinner, which we do not know. Or simply that we are extreemly deceived.
As LDS we believe that men and women are not separated from God by type but by degree. In other words, God is not a different sort of being from man. Instead he is a glorified, exalted, man. The most simple and straight forward statement on the matter comes from Lorenzo Snow who said, "As man now is, God once was; as God is now man may be."
I first joined CAF (Catholic Answers Forums) to share ideas. But I have found I end up doing more explaining and defending of my own faith. I have learned some, but in depth discussion has been difficult. I think this is largely due to former Mormons who are now Catholic and are confrontational and somewhat abrasive. There have been a handful of Catholic posters who I have found sincere and respectful.

Chico State Students Hold Rally In Favor Of Prop 30
A group of students held a rally at Chico State today reminding their fellow peers of how important they believe the governor's tax proposal is to their education.
This group of students made posters Friday morning trying to remind everyone at Chico State of the impact of Proposition 30 would have on their education--and their wallets.
The rally was referred to as a "Text Flash Meeting." Students texted their parents Friday morning asking them to vote 'Yes' on Proposition 30 in November.
The proposition would bump up the sales and income tax temporarily to get the budget back on track. However, if the proposition fails, California State University students will have to pay an extra $150 per semester in January.
"I would have to take more loans which would not be good in the long run. It might be harder for me to go further in my education," said Chico State freshmen Allie McDaniel.
If Proposition 30 does pass, Chico State will actually see a $5 million increase in its budget, and will even refund some tuition.
For students who pay tuition without financial aid or grants, the state is considering sending them a $249 check or giving them credit toward future classes. The Cal State system has yet to work out all of the details.
If the proposition fails, the state faces up to $6 billion in cuts. Chico State's share would be about $10 million.

There are a choice of tools available for different tasks. How do you select the right tool for the correct job? This Power Tool Series might cover the type of power tool plus the components they are suited for. This article covers power shears, their repair plus safety secrets.
Power shears resemble big, high-tech scissors. Instead of a human hand exerting force on a scissor to cut a product, power shears employ electrical power to make use of a lot more force to the thing.

JRC-ITU has, since 2001, organised a bi-annual summer school on actinide science. The initiator to the first ITU Summer School was Director Jerry Lander. The summer school targets students and young researchers who have an interest in basic actinide chemistry, physics and material science, and offers them a glimpse at the intriguing science of the 5f elements and their application in modern society. The school consists of 16 academic lectures given by international experts in the field, as well as 12 demonstrations and practical exercises in the laboratories of ITU and the neighbouring German research centre, Karlsruhe Institut für Technologie (KIT). 481 students and young researchers have attended the seven schools organised from 2001 to 2013, an average of 70 participants per school. There are normally an equal number of male and female students. The schools are over-subscribed and the numbers must be limited because of the limited space for practical exercises.
The school is built on three main pillars:
Nuclear Safeguards, Security and Forensics (4 lectures)
Nuclear Fuel Cycle (nuclear fuel and fuel processing) (6 lectures)
Basic Actinide Science (physics and chemistry, incl. super heavy elements) (6 lectures)
Since 2004, the ITU summer school is complemented by the Actinet School (CEA) or Journées des Actinides School on the Physics and Chemistry of the Actinides, run during the year when there is no ITU Summer School.

Why Paris is One of the Best Places on Earth, by a ParisianParis - the real Paris. You have to live it. But most of all, you have to shoot it. This is a day in Paris, by a Parisian.
The Vagabond Diaries: Paris via London, London via ParisWhen I'm in Paris I dream about London; when I'm in London I dream about Paris.
Lomography Day Trips: Bandung, Indonesia, Part 1 - Join Our Lomowalk!Where do I begin? Believe me, I know many places in Bandung.

Lomography Day Trips: Ubud, Bali (Part 3)Here's the third and final part of my Lomography Day Trip features about Ubud. To be honest, there are a lot of places there that are worth visiting, but I just picked some of them to help you make the best of your trip. So prepare your notes or travel books and take note of the must-see places that I'll mention below. Maybe one day you'll visit Ubud.
Lomography Day Trips: Ubud, Bali (Part 2)Previously, I suggested that you walk around Ubud. For he second part of my Lomography Day Trip piece on Ubud, allow me to show you places that are worth visiting. Don't worry, you won't get lost! If you do want to get lost, just rent a bicycle and ride around!
Lomography Day Trips: Ubud, Bali (Part 1)Aside from the fact that Ubud is a must-visit tourist spot in Bali, it is also the perfect place to relax and get inspired. There, you'll see and feel something different. Staying there for a month in 2012 made me discover good places to visit. If ever you'll be in Bali for a holiday, don't forget to visit Ubud. Now, I shall take you on a quick visit to this town!
The Vagabond Diaries: The Rooftop Labyrinths of New YorkIf this city never sleeps, it is because of its infamous rooftop parties.
Chiswick House and GardensVisit this not-so-well-known park that partly inspired the architecture of New York's Central Park!
Cycling in BatterseaBattersea Park is on the south bank of the River Thames. With 200 acres of green space, you'll get plenty of space for some amazing shots. The park has everything - wildlife, sports, gardens, a children's zoo, and even a pagoda! What more could you wish for?
★ The Vagabond Diaries: Adventures on the Chao Praya RiverWriting about Bangkok, a place where I first left my vagabond heart, I found it only fitting to focus on its own heart, the Chao Praya River, and the adventures it can offer to anyone looking to explore the city's curiosities by water.
Kick-Off Country: Kicking Off the World Cup Blues in ParisLes Bleus may have been booted out of the World Cup by Germany, but for me France is always a winner. The number of places to go around Paris, especially, can never be exhausted: the Eiffel Tower, Sacré Cœur, the Seine, the Arc de Triomphe, and this time, I fell in love with the Cimetière du Père-Lachaise.
Skate Spots Around the World: A Skater and his ShadowWhile walking in Como with my Praktica camera, I found a young skater at a square in my city. After having chosen an elevated position on an overpass, I mounted my 85mm lens and played about with his performance and his shadow. Check it out after the jump!
Off the Beaten Track: Boulder City AmersfoortIt may not be as romantic as Paris, as cool as Berlin, or as beautiful as Amsterdam, but my home town Amersfoort is still worth a visit if you want to go off the beaten track.
Lomography Day Trips: Wandering Around in Lively LeuvenLeuven is a typical Belgian university city that is full of students, but feels a bit like a ghost city when all the students go home for the weekend. Nevertheless, this is the perfect time to pay a visit to this beautiful historic city just right next to Brussels. If you like culture, cobblestoned streets, creativity, and Belgian beers, this is your perfect day trip!
Lomography Day Trips: Indulge in More Than Just Fashion in AntwerpAntwerp. To hear this name is enough for fashionistas from around the world to make them weak with excitement. Home to a gazillion bloggers, fancy and less fancy boutiques, and of course, the only Belgian Lomography Headquarters, Antwerp's definitely worth the visit. But behold: you will find much more than you expect in this vibrant city!
Ride the Duck in LondonIn many of the places I've travelled, I've seen small, yellow amphibious tour buses -- the ubiquitous 'Ducks.' In some places the pleasure cruisers are encouraged to blow duck whistles, but everywhere they tour on land before descending into the city's waterway. I decided to become a tourist in my own town and ride the London duck.
Lomography Day Trips: Lisbon, The City of Yellow TramsI divide people who travel to Portugal into two groups: those who prefer Porto and those who like Lisbon better. I love Porto, it's a little gem, but if I ever lived in Portugal I'd choose Lisbon in a heartbeat. It's got everything big cities have while staying beautiful and romantic and the same time.
A Romantic Walk Along the Tagus River in LisbonIf you happen to be in Lisbon on February 14th you should go for a romantic (Lomo) walk along the north bank of the Tagus River.
Urban Exploring: Kinder & Jugendklinikum WeißenseeUrban exploring is a welcome change for many leisure researchers while exploring so-called lost places -- abandoned, some dilapidated ruins of our urban civilizations. The Kinder & Jugendklinikum Weißensee (Eng: Children & Youth Clinic) is a true gem among these lost places in the Berlin city district of the same name.
The Land Down Under: Melbourne's Graffiti LaneSince the 1990s, Melbourne has been home to some great street art, with two lanes, Hosier Lane and Rutledge Lane, being something like a giant, open air canvas for graffiti artists for years. Here's some amazing graffiti I had the chance to see during my stay in the city!

The thing not taken into account is those suggestions are in a vacuum. The actual dynamics involved are not taken into consideration.
The thing I point out is that all of the people who say that they would done this or that are generally hypocrites. The media are using this to generate ratings & ad revenue. ANd the more morally outraged the person is the lesser their own responsibility is.
People also do not look at the fact that the Centre County DA had some of this data & did not prosecute Sandusky as he did not think he could win the case. And now Ray Gricar is "dead." Though no body has ever been found.
1) If you see your own kid being abused by a stranger I would believe that 99.99% of the people out there would take various degrees of physical action on an instantaneous basis;
2) You see a former respected in the community boss touching a kid you know the number drops;
3) You see a person with some power & friends in an institutional setting touching some kid you don't know, where you could not only lose your job but have your career threatened or ruined? The number drops even more.
4) You hear this 2nd hand situation #3, about a former respected leader from an employee. Now you have to weigh whether it is the truth or not b/c either way lives are being messed with & destroyed. You could start a witch hunt or let a criminal get away. HOW MANY people would actually do the right thing is debatable but I would bet that the number that SAY they would vs the number that ACTUALLY would is definitely LARGER.
It is one thing to rationally criticize a man for his perceived or actual lack of ability to confront evil. THose sort of comments usually come from people who have been there & done it.
It is another thing to irrationally crucify a man for what he failed to do & say that you would have done better. The folks who are saying that are usually gutless hands down.
Add to the fuel to the fire of how he was fired (which I disagree with) & then you get a group of people who know the person & they know the good he has done, who see an INJUSTICE to him & voice it.
& in that the media paints a picture of a town that is football crazy & up in a cult of personality just to sell a story. Those people are WHORES nothing more. They forget the injustice to those children & they fail to report on the work the school & the students have been doing to try & remedy that situation.
All of these points cannot be wrapped up into one neat little package. You have to pull it all apart & LOOK AT IT.
I think (and hope) the topic has been exhausted.
If not, the appropriate forum was created, so comments should go there:

DECs mean there's no hiding your building's actual energy use
The UK government introduced Display Energy Certificates (DECs) this week for all buildings over 1,000m2 occupied by a public authority. Until now, any new-builds or buildings bought, sold or rented, needed an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), or asset rating.

The boxer/trunks are made from a luxurious Micromodal material that is so comfortable it feels as though you are wearing nothing at all.
We were "wowed" by the high-tech design that provide support and significantly enhances a guys appearance in all the right areas (butt and groin).
These are a great pair of boxers. They retail for about $39 , on their site, and are well worth the extra expense. They can also be bought on Amazon.

How much revenue does Google earn? What are its major sources of revenue? How profitable are its products and services? BusinessMBA.org has come up with an infographic that gives you insight into the numbers behind Google. According to the infographic, Google had $29.3 billion in revenue in 2010. The amount is more than the combined GDP of the 28 poorest countries in the world.
Here are some of the other key highlights:
- The bulk of Google's revenue comes from selling ads through AdWords. Over 97% of Google's revenue comes from advertising and only 3% from other sources, including its products and services.
- $2,500,000,000 of Google's revenue comes from mobile ads. This figure is expected to grow further in 2011.
- What makes Google's massive revenue possible is the fact that the search giant receives over 1 Billion unique visitors per month.
- People spend a total of 200 billion minutes per month on its sites.
