Manasseh's and repentance. (1-20) Amon's wicked reign in Judah. (21-25)
Verses 1-20 We have seen Manasseh's wickedness; here we have his repentance, and a memorable instance it is of the riches of God's pardoning mercy, and the power of his renewing grace. Deprived of his liberty, separated from his evil counsellors and companions, without any prospect but of ending his days in a wretched prison, Manasseh thought upon what had passed; he began to cry for mercy and deliverance. He confessed his sins, condemned himself, was humbled before God, loathing himself as a monster of impiety and wickedness. Yet he hoped to be pardoned through the abundant mercy of the Lord. Then Manasseh knew that Jehovah was God, able to deliver. He knew him as a God of salvation; he learned to fear, trust in, love, and obey him. From this time he bore a new character, and walked in newness of life. Who can tell what tortures of conscience, what pangs of grief, what fears of wrath, what agonizing remorse he endured, when he looked back on his many years of apostacy and rebellion against God; on his having led thousands into sin and perdition; and on his blood-guiltiness in the persecution of a number of God's children? And who can complain that the way of heaven is blocked up, when he sees such a sinner enter? Say the worst against thyself, here is one as bad who finds the way to repentance. Deny not to thyself that which God hath not denied to thee; it is not thy sin, but thy impenitence, that bars heaven against thee.
Verses 21-25 Amon's father did ill, but he did worse. Whatever warnings or convictions he had, he never humbled himself. He was soon cut off in his sins, and made a warning for all men not to abuse the example of God's patience and mercy to Manasseh, as an encouragement to continue in sin. May God help us to be honest to ourselves, and to think aright respecting our own character, before death fixes us in an unchangeable state.
2 Chronicles 33:1-10 . MANASSEH'S WICKED REIGN.
1, 2. Manasseh . . . did that which was evil in the sight of the
2 Chronicles 33:11-19 . HE IS CARRIED UNTO BABYLON, WHERE HE HUMBLES HIMSELF BEFORE GOD, AND IS RESTORED TO HIS KINGDOM.
11. the captains of the host of the king of Assyria--This king was Esar-haddon. After having devoted the first years of his reign to the consolidation of his government at home, he turned his attention to repair the loss of the tributary provinces west of the Euphrates, which, on the disaster and death of Sennacherib, had taken the opportunity of shaking off the Assyrian yoke. Having overrun Palestine and removed the remnant that were left in the kingdom of Israel, he despatched his generals, the chief of whom was Tartan ( Isaiah 20:1 ), with a portion of his army for the reduction of Judah also. In a successful attack upon Jerusalem, they took multitudes of captives, and got a great prize, including the king himself, among the prisoners.
took Manasseh among the thorns--This may mean, as is commonly supposed, that he had hid himself among a thicket of briers and brambles. We know that the Hebrews sometimes took refuge from their enemies in thickets ( 1 Samuel 13:6 ). But, instead of the Hebrew, Bacochim, "among the thorns", some versions read Bechayim, "among the living", and so the passage would be "took him alive."
bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon--The Hebrew word rendered "fetters" denotes properly two chains of brass. The humiliating state in which Manasseh appeared before the Assyrian monarch may be judged of by a picture on a tablet in the Khorsabad palace, representing prisoners led bound into the king's presence. "The captives represented appear to be inhabitants of Palestine. Behind the prisoners stand four persons with inscriptions on the lower part of their tunics; the first two are bearded, and seem to be accusers; the remaining two are nearly defaced; but behind the last appears the eunuch, whose office it seems to be to usher into the presence of the king those who are permitted to appear before him. He is followed by another person of the same race as those under punishment; his hands are manacled, and on his ankles are strong rings fastened together by a heavy bar" [Nineveh and Its Palaces]. No name is given, and, therefore, no conclusion can be drawn that the figure represents Manasseh. But the people appear to be Hebrews, and this pictorial scene will enable us to imagine the manner in which the royal captive from Judah was received in the court of Babylon. Esar-haddon had established his residence there; for though from the many revolts that followed the death of his father, he succeeded at first only to the throne of Assyria, yet having some time previous to his conquest of Judah, recovered possession of Babylon, this enterprising king had united under his sway the two empires of Babylon and Chaldea and transferred the seat of his government to Babylon.
12, 13. when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God--In the solitude of exile or imprisonment, Manasseh had leisure for reflection. The calamities forced upon him a review of his past life, under a conviction that the miseries of his dethronement and captive condition were owing to his awful and unprecedented apostasy ( 2 Chronicles 33:7 ) from the God of his fathers. He humbled himself, repented, and prayed for an opportunity of bringing forth the fruits of repentance. His prayer was heard; for his conqueror not only released him, but, after two years' exile, restored him, with honor and the full exercise of royal power, to a tributary and dependent kingdom. Some political motive, doubtless, prompted the Assyrian king to restore Manasseh, and that was most probably to have the kingdom of Judah as a barrier between Egypt and his Assyrian dominions. But God overruled this measure for higher purposes. Manasseh now showed himself, by the influence of sanctified affliction, a new and better man. He made a complete reversal of his former policy, by not only destroying all the idolatrous statues and altars he had formerly erected in Jerusalem, but displaying the most ardent zeal in restoring and encouraging the worship of God.
14. he built a wall without the city . . . on the west side of Gihon . . . even to the entering in at the fish gate--"The well-ascertained position of the fish gate, shows that the valley of Gihon could be no other than that leading northwest of Damascus gate, and gently descending southward, uniting with the Tyropoeon at the northeast corner of Mount Zion, where the latter turns at right angles and runs towards Siloam. The wall thus built by Manasseh on the west side of the valley of Gihon, would extend from the vicinity of the northeast corner of the wall of Zion in a northerly direction, until it crossed over the valley to form a junction with the outer wall at the trench of Antonia, precisely in the quarter where the temple would be most easily assailed" [BARCLAY].
17. the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the Lord their God only--Here it appears that the worship on high places, though it originated in a great measure from the practice of heathenism, and too often led to it, did not necessarily imply idolatry.
2 Chronicles 33:20-25 . HE DIES AND AMON SUCCEEDS HIM.

At the annual banquet Monday, many other law enforcement, firefighters and emergency medical service employees were recognized by their departments and Cleveland 100 for going above and beyond the call of duty.
Willis answered a call for help June 28, 2012.
Two children had been outside playing. It was an extremely hot day.
The caller said the children had been brought to his home and the children were unresponsive.
Willis immediately began to assess and provide CPR instructions, all while attempting to keep the caller calm.
"Not only did she maintain her professionalism during the duration of this extremely stressful call, afterward, her concern wasn't for herself, but for the emotional state of the other 911 dispatchers involved with the call," said the supervisor who nominated Willis.
The children died from what was later found to be heat stress.
Willis was presented the Courtney and Betty McGrady Award, the highest honor presented by Cleveland 100. It is not given each year, because the board reserves it for an emergency service representative who has "exemplified themselves in their career and gone the extra mile in difficult circumstances."
As the banquet opened, Cleveland 100 President Brenda Lawson dedicated the event to the memory of Cleveland Police officer Justin Maples, who died in the line of duty one year ago Monday. CPD color guard, the Maples family and area law enforcement officers attended a small service at the Memorial Wall downtown prior to Cleveland 100's banquet. Maples' name was added to the wall last week.
Dedicated Professional awards are given to those who went above and beyond the call of duty during the past year.
10th Judicial Drug Task Force Director Steve Lawson nominated two of his agents and a Bradley County detective to receive the awards.
Mike Patterson and Sgt. Matt Bales performed a traffic stop as part of criminal interdiction along Interstate 75.
On Oct. 4, 2012, the two agents discovered the passenger in the car provided a false name.
Detective Kevin White of the Bradley County Sheriff's Office began working with the agents and found out Wyatt Hayes was wanted in New York on a homicide charge.
"These officers went above and beyond their call of duty after the initial traffic stop to identify the subject who was eventually charged with murder," Lawson said.
Lawson also noted in his nomination the officers were commended by the Buffalo (N.Y.) Police Department for their professionalism and attention to detail in making the arrest.
Deputy Tommy Kimsey of the Bradley County Sheriff's Office was also presented with the Dedicated Professional distinction after he was nominated for entering a burning home to rescue the owner and his son.
Kimsey was first to arrive on a residential structure fire on April 14, 2012. The fire had started on a porch of the home and burned its way inside.
He attempted to extinguish the fire. When the homeowner opened the door, flames engulfed the structure. Kimsey went inside the home, "with more concern for the occupants of the residence than for his own safety," according to Capt. Brian Quinn.
Bradley County Sheriff's deputy Sam "Bo" Collins also received the Dedicated Professional award for his service during the April 2011 tornadoes.
A family was trapped inside their mobile home located on Bell Road after the deadly F-4 tornado ripped through the Blue Springs valley that evening. Medical personnel were not able to reach the home due to downed power lines and trees.
Collins entered the ruins and pulled two adults and a teenager to safety.
Collins then took the lead and directed several civilians to assist in getting the victims to an ambulance located in the area.
He reportedly coordinated the efforts as other tornadoes were spotted in the area, disregarding the warnings to seek shelter for his personal safety and ensuring the family was rescued from the rubble and received medical treatment, according to Capt. Tom Wasson of BCSO.
Collins worked throughout the night to help with rescue efforts.
Wasson noted that Collins' actions displayed dedication, ethics, heroism, valor, courage, integrity and tenacity.
School Resource Officer Angie Whittemore was recognized for two instances of heroism and going above and beyond the call of duty.
Whittemore was notified of a possible intruder carrying a weapon on school property at Walker Valley. She reportedly contacted responders and the school was locked down as a search began. The incident turned out to be a false alarm, but Whittemore was praised for the way she handled the situation.
Whittemore also aided at the scene of crash in which a young girl suffered severe injuries.
Whittemore stabilized the vehicle and began aiding the girl until emergency medical help arrived.
Whittemore was presented a Community Service Award for her acts.
Cleveland Police Department officer Chris Rucker was awarded a certificate for his dedication in taking the lead in finding an 8 year-old child who was missing.
According to Sgt. Guy Ferguson of CPD's Patrol Division, Rucker was dispatched to a Hollybrook Circle address on Aug. 20, 2012.
Rucker requested the aid of other officers and the Cleveland Fire Department.
According to Ferguson, Rucker recognized an area that had not been searched. He directed attention to the area and found the child, reuniting the youngster with a panicked parent.
Also receiving certificates for the team effort were officers Tyler McGuire, Chris Allen, Kody Fox, Jansen Vassey, Jennifer McKee, Victor Cleveland and Lt. Stacy Smith.
Sgt. Mark Miller was also presented a certificate after his effort in the location and eventual arrest of an alleged dangerous felon.
The suspect reportedly had no known address or known location in the county.
The family of the victim had concerns for their safety "as long as the suspect was at-large."
Miller gathered his warrant search team and began following leads.
Staying with the search, Miller gained information the suspect might be living out of his car; he directed his team to search parking lots and other areas.
Eventually, the suspect was taken into custody without incident.
"This incident is an example of his willingness to go above and beyond the normal scope of responsibilities," said Capt. Bill Dyer in his nomination letter to the Cleveland 100 board.
The leadership displayed during the apprehension of this dangerous felon is an example of a "Can Do" spirit, according to Dyer.
Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper Gray Gibson was given a plaque after he arrested a man who was found to be AWOL and wanted on homicide charges in Texas.
Gibson was presented a Dedicated Professional Award for his work.
Team nominations for the Cleveland 100 certificates continue with Bradley County Emergency Medical Service officials recognizing the need in two cases where multiple agencies were involved in rescue efforts.
Tenlie Lodgson, 15, was in her driveway sunbathing.
Her sister pulled her vehicle into the driveway, not seeing Tenlie and trapping her underneath her vehicle.
Stan Clark of Bradley County Emergency Medical Service nominated EMTs and paramedics along with members of the Cleveland Fire Department, 911 Center and Cleveland Police Department and Erlanger's Life Force crews in their efforts.
Lodgson was on hand at the banquet to publicly thank all involved and help present certificates.
Paramedic Tony Cochran; EMT Adam Cagley; paramedic Shawn Fairbanks of BCEMS; Keisha Price; Jeremy Williams and Casey Croft of 911; CFD firefighters Ross Anderson; Ron Harrison; Aaron Jones; Eric McAmis; Duane Sullivan and Chris Townsend along with Cleveland Police officers Brett Taylor; Ken Higdon; Mark Darnell; Tyler McGuire; Daniel Gibbs; Andy Wattenbarger and Mike Harris; Erlanger's Rick Rentfrow; Johnny Hale; Stacy Prater; Greg Taylor; Sean Cloud and Andy Lopez were presented with certificates regarding the multiagency rescue.
Another major multiagency response involved the breaking of a natural gas line that could have forced the evacuation of a nursing and rehabilitation facility. The driver of a car had struck a retaining wall.
Megan Phillips and Sean Hennessee were on the scene at Signature Healthcare when the incident occurred. They had just completed a transport returning a resident to the facility when they noticed the driver had lost control and struck the wall, rupturing the gas line.
Phillips aided in removing the driver but her passenger was still trapped.
Natural gas was flowing freely from the ruptured line.
Phillips and Hennessee worked to stabilize the passenger while CFD firefighters and police continued to make their way to the scene.
Paramedics Keith Umberger and Eric Johnson arrived on the scene to help.
The natural gas being leaked was dangerous and overwhelming, according to Clark.
All four BCEMS employees received certificates for their team effort.
Also, BCEMS received recognition for representing Bradley County and Cleveland as "Star of Life" recipients. A program is scheduled for a later date in Nashville.

Used them for CrossFit, weight training, running on pavement and flat dirt trails, as well as around town. I love these shoes!
The performance: Outstanding. The F-lite 230 is light as a feather, supportive of lateral movement, and just the right amount of heel cushion (although I have been wearing minimal shoes for a few years now and I am used to there not being much there in the way of cushion). I did a "Deadlift Fran" this morning and they were unbeleivably comfortable, light, and supportive. The heel cup grounded my heels to the floor; absolutely no side to side movement on the deadlifts. Pullups were like I was barefoot; the shoe is so, so light weight.
Pros: Light weight; Supportive; Great Looking
Cons: None.
The Shoe Mart had the F-lite 230 on sale and got them to me in two days with free shipping. Overall, I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

If helping others is your dream, you'll want a college that equips you to be a health and human services professional from day one, working in "real world" facilities with faculty who have worked—and excelled in the field.
The best way to prepare for a career in service is to do the service, and, at SUNY Plattsburgh, every program incorporates extensive time for skills training through practice.
The Damianos Nursing Skills Laboratory features high-tech equipment like bedside computers for electronic medical records and SimMan, a high-fidelity simulator. The new Nutrition Food Lab is equipped with a state-of-the-art food preparation area, dining room, and computer lab. The Speech and Hearing Center serves as a fully functioning clinic for individuals with speech, language, and hearing disorders. And off campus, dozens of organizations host interns and field placements — from CVPH Medical Center to early intervention and social service agencies.
Here, you'll gain the skills to succeed. More than nine in 10 of our students pass their professional exams. They take leadership roles in medical centers, economic opportunity programs, and schools, here and abroad. Or they pursue graduate work in leading schools of social work like Columbia and Washington University of St. Louis.
Expeditionary studies majors Garret Cooper and Matt Smith's 750-mile canoe paddle along the Srepok and Mekong rivers in Vietnam and Cambodia has become more than their required senior expedition.

PH Email Mentors are patients and caregivers from all over the world, standing by to help patients, caregivers and parents through one-on-one, email-based support. Liz Brigham is one of those mentors, and she shares a little about herself now.
I was diagnosed with PH in June 2004, though I had been symptomatic for at least a couple of years before that. Like so many other PH patients, I was first misdiagnosed by an assortment of primary care doctors who told me I had asthma, job stress, allergies, etc. I finally decided that I knew something was wrong and I was not going to accept job stress as the answer any longer. I did some of my own research on the Internet (scary) and found that my symptoms matched this disease called pulmonary hypertension. After rounds with a few local doctors, I was actually referred to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where this diagnosis was confirmed and my journey began.
After I was diagnosed with PH, I was scared and depressed because what I had read about PH seemed pretty bleak. I remember not wanting to plant any perennial flowers in my garden that spring as I was sure I would not be around to see them bloom the following year. I learned that there were support groups in the area, but I decided that those must be depressing pity parties. Boy, was I ever wrong about that!
My attitude changed once I drew up enough courage to attend one support group meeting. Gosh, these folks were not sitting around feeling sorry for themselves. Instead, most of them were living active and meaningful lives, which included friends, family, work, pets, vacations, hobbies, etc. — all the things that bring value to our lives.
So my life with PH changed once I was willing to get over myself and really understand that my life was not PH — PH was just one of the many facets of my life. I soon became a support group leader, later a Patient-to-Patient Support Line volunteer, and finally a PH Email Mentor. It is possible to get over one's own petty self-absorption pretty quickly when trying to listen to and assist other patients — some of whom have so much more to deal with than I had.
There are a million reasons to email a PH Email Mentor. To name just a few:
Just that: LIVE! We can still carry on very meaningful and productive lives with PH. Those of us who have been diagnosed with PH have the opportunity to take a good hard look at the "whys" of our lives and how we want to really live. For me, this disease has been a gift of sorts. I have been given the opportunity to look deeply at my life and make something out of it. A beautiful song by an artist named Sarah Brightman called "I've Been This Way Before" has a line that says, "Some folks never see the light until the day they die." As a PH patient, I've been blessed with the opportunity to try to see the light while I can still touch the lives of others in some meaningful way.
It means so much to me to be able to help alleviate another patient or caregiver's fear and confusion — especially when that patient or family member is newly diagnosed. PH is unbelievably complicated, and if I can help someone sort out some of their confusion, I am blessed. It takes courage to reach out for help and if I can be on the other end for another patient, my life is made richer.

Interest in energy and mind-body work among executives and professionals has recently surged. This surge is fortunate and relevant because the spiritual and holistic nature of energy work frees our creative and objective minds. I practice psychotherapy and coaching, yet I also have a whole-hearted belief in mind-body work. I get my chakras cleaned twice per month, I meditate throughout the day and I do "Light Body" energy work with select clients. Such mind-body focus has been integral to my personal and professional success, and it may benefit you as well.
What is Mind-Body Work?
In short, mind-body work integrates mind, body, and spirit/soul so they can communicate with each other in healthy ways. The mind, body and spirit/soul are always communicating with each other whether you realize it or not. For example, you're overlooked for that promotion again, your kid got suspended from school and on top of that you just got a red light ticket. At the end of the day, week or month, you've reached your limit and have either a migraine, muscle spasms, et cetera. This is a classic example of your mind and body communicating with one another. The challenge is getting them to communicate in ways that are healthy and positive so you can better deal with life's challenges and stressors.
What is Energy Work?
Energy work encompasses a broad range of modalities and practices from the scientific to the religious. Some common forms of energy work are Reiki, Vibrational and Prayer. Energy work is commonly used with individuals who are ill or seeking a stronger connection to something higher than themselves. For example, someone who is struggling to reach a goal yet feels blocked may use energy work to discover what is preventing her from becoming her "Higher Self."
How Effective Is it?
The Eastern healing practices of mind-body and energy work have been around for thousands of years. Plenty of research shows how mind-body and energy work improves the quality of life for the patient, so much so that it is a part of many cancer treatments and some corporate programs.
As for me, I practice vibrational energy and meditation with my clients, and they often report feeling like they have gone through a year of therapy in just six to eight weeks. While I am still firmly committed to psychotherapy and mental health maintenance, I offer energy work for those who are looking to connect with something or someone higher than themselves.
Mind-body and energy work isn't for everyone, so if you are interested in mind-body or energy work, look around and make an informed decision that is right for you.
Pleasant journeys!

AMP Dinner as a Community Gathering
November 17, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Geoffrey Cook, TMO
Silicon Valley–Your reporter's commentary on Lauren Booth's stirring observations on Palestine during Ramadan was part of a community Ramadan Iftar banquet presented by the American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) as a fund-rising dinner.
Now, shortly, after Eid al-Adha, as your writer writes, the nearby Occupy Oakland encampment is being brutally removed. This week (last for you) Professors (several of your reporter's friends are Muslims employed within the organization) plan to have a one day strike against the California State University (ies) system brought on by the collapse of this State's finances. Also, related to Sacramento's woes was the violent repression of the student demonstration at U.C. Berkeley within the fortnight. (Your correspondent has just heard an announcement of occupy-type campus actions across he American land.) Curiously, the American issues your Scribe has been mentioning do relate to the Arab "Spring" where the success of the Tunisian elections is one of the bright spots!
The Islamophobic repression of the Gaza show at the Children's Museum in Oakland has been blunted by the placement of the Gazan child depictions of Operation Cast Lead gallery in that very same city whose owner, fortunately, was sympathetic to the Palestinian plight. Thus, the report below:
Yours truly originally drafted this piece as part of his concentration on our Holy Land of the Night Ride going to the United Nations (U.N.) to demand her right to be an independent entity within the world's sovereign nation-states. Well, that has happened but, as your reported predicted, it was referred to Committee as a delaying tactic, and now that it has emerged from that Committee with a mixed report-back. Now, its chances of succeeding in the Security Council are being obfuscated. President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority (P.A.) would accept nothing less than the status of full Statehood; therefore, the option of partial recognition with all its benefits is, at this time, rejected by the Arabs of the trans-Jordan.
Simultaneously, UNESCO (the United Nations' Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), an important sub-section of the U.N., has recognized Ramallah as an autonomous member. This has encouraged Tel Aviv to punish Palestine by approving 2,000 new Settlements on Arab-speaking traditional land, and to refuse to reimburse the "Occupied" Territories the taxes they collected on their behalf to finance the P.A. itself! In essence the Jews have stolen from their neighbors their rightful wealth! At the same time, a Bill is going through the American Congress to punish the Levant's oppressed even further. Please, our readers, who are U.S. citizens or residents, ask your Representatives and Senators to oppose these moves, and the President, if it should appear on his desk, to veto it!
With the recent outrageous jet attacks upon (Palestinian) Gaza with Israel, further, killing five Egyptian soldiers as "collateral damage" leading to riots in Cairo's streets. Bi-lateral relations between the two nations (Egypt-Israel) have never been worse since the Camp David Accords – besides, it was not Hamas (the unfairly vilified rulers of Gaza) who were involved, but the most likely combatants were the Islamic Jihad (org).
Dr. Hatem Bazian was the spokesman at the AMP (American Muslims for Palestine) at the Banquet that night. Bazian is the co-founder and primary chief organizer for that night's Iftar fund-raising dinner.
Further, he is the co-founder of Zaytuna College of Berkeley, the only accredited Islamic institute of higher education in the United States. He is now serving as an Academic Chair there and at U.C. Berkeley.
Bazian's doctoral training is in Philosophy and Islamic Studies at the University of California there in Berkeley. For five years (2002-2007) he was an Adjunct Professor of Law at U.C.'s Boalt Hall (Law School). Presently, he is a Lecturer in both the Departments of Near Eastern Studies Lecturer and in the Ethnic Studies
His central academic interests include Islamophobia and its de-constructing and the Othering of Islam – especially in the U.S. and secondarily in the West in general.
He has, also, served as a Visiting Professor at Saint Mary's College (directly across the East Bay hills in the town of Moraga in Contra Costa County in what is known as the Outer Bay) in Religious Studies plus he is an advisor to the University of California's Center on Religion, Politics and Globalization.
At Berkeley, he founded the Study and Documentation of Islamophobia, too.
Dr. Bazian, a Muslim Palestinian-American, has been a player in several local (S.F. Bay Area) human rights agendas including the defense of the Americans for Disability Act (ADA), the Anti-Apartheid Movement and the Anti-Globalization uprising, which, curiously, has influenced the current "Occupy Wall Street" Movement that has recently sprung up not only here but all over the U.S.A. and elsewhere.
Bazian began his talk by stating that Muslim students within the community should be encouraged to move away from the traditional engineering and medical doctor's degrees into broader liberal arts and other professions of direct visibility and leadership within American society. (This is something this paper has advocated – especially in journalism. To achieve agency, i.e., self-determination, Islam requires prominence within the greater society and a voice in public policy and politics and elsewhere in the U.S.)
One of the central goals of the AMP is to donate books to public libraries on Islam and especially Palestine to show that "I am Palestinian, and I love freedom, too!" The AMP is attempting to put a human face on Palestine. They wish to "Bring awareness on Palestine from a Muslim perspective."
The "Palestinian cause is a civil rights struggle." Hatem continues that "The Palestinian cause is a civil rights campaign!" (Your author ascertains at this point in the resistance in the Occupied Territories within the Fertile Crescent, it is a battle for Human Rights. There is a difference between Civil Rights and Human Right that is often blurred, and your narrator would like to delineate it in greater detail at a future time.) Nonetheless, we are talking about Human Rights here, and it is much more pungently serious!
Further, Hatem states, "Homo Sapiens are suffering by human hand…the AMP is educating Americans [on]what our (U.S.) government is doing [that] it doesn't want us to know…You are changing one American at a time!"
Dr. Hatem Bazian got to his business of the night. The AMP requires money for its upcoming grandiose plans for placards within buses in every major city in the United States to tell the story of the Palestinian plight et al.
In the following week, your author received a Facebook communication from the American Muslims for Palestine that it was changing its primary emphasis from an educational group to an organization to raise money to finance their educational efforts.
(To be quite honest, your author cannot perceive the difference. Their end goal is to educate Americans on the plight of Palestine. They previously have depended upon the Zakat to finance their educational efforts. This is what this dinner was about, and it was most certainly educational, too, with Lauren Booth's witness upon which your columnist reported in a past issue. Your writer believes what Hatem's post was that the AMP would be making more of an effort to finance their very ambitious projects on education on the Palestine-Israel imbroglio to change "the hearts and minds" of Americans away from the prevalent Israeli propaganda.)

Gorgeous Curtains - candy for your Windows
Bought these last year for the front of the house. I loved them so much, I decided to hang them in an adjoining room towards the back. Fabulous colors, just enough color to spruce up a room, but neutral enough to blend in with paint color and decor. I had a 10% coupon both times! I did have to order online, as the selection of sizes (I needed 96in).

Better than the Photo
I was looking for curtains in my dining room which I had painted a Ralph Lauren Copper color. The other paint color in there is a Dunn Edwards Canary Island Gold. These curtains were the perfect way to pull these two colors together and finish the room. The panels arrived and are of good quality and look Amazing!!

Madison mosque plan to be discussed
RIDGE LAND,MS–Consideration of a site plan for a proposed mosque north of Madison is on the agenda of the Madison County Planning and Zoning Commission this Thursday.
The Mississippi Muslim Association is seeking approval of the site plan for the mosque on a 5-acre site west of U.S. 51. A site plan depicts the architectural design of a building along with landscaping.
The Board of Supervisors in August approved a special zoning exemption for the mosque.The land was zoned R-1 residential so a special exception was necessary to build a place of worship.
The proposed mosque has met resistance from some residents. At the time the exception was granted, John R. Reeves, an attorney representing some of the residents, argued that the Muslim Association had yet to show adequate provisions for utilities and had not provided any kind of drawing or site plan to show that the proposed building is compatible with the surrounding area.
Citibank asked to apologize
CHICAGO,IL–The Chicago chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Chicago) today called on Citibank to apologize to a Muslim woman who was allegedly verbally abused by a security guard at a Gresham, Ill., branch because she wears a religious head scarf, or hijab.
According to the Muslim woman, the guard said it was against Citibank's policy for customers to transact business wearing head coverings. While another Citibank employee did allow the woman to complete her business, that employee insisted on personally escorting her to the counter and watched over her shoulder as she conducted her transactions.
The guard also reportedly objected to the woman receiving service because it would encourage more of "them" to come into the bank. Throughout the process, which the Muslim customer described as "humiliating," the guard allegedly made anti-Muslim remarks.
CAIR-Chicago is calling for the apology, a review of Citibank policies related to religious head coverings and for diversity training of bank staff.
"Denying someone the right to enjoy equal treatment in places of public accommodation is illegal and violates our most deeply held values of fairness and respect for others," said Kevin Vodak, staff attorney at CAIR-Chicago.
"It appears that this security guard was purposefully trying to deter Muslims from patronizing the bank by harassing them. If this is the case, the bank needs to make sure this kind of discriminatory behavior is addressed," said Christina Abraham, civil rights director at CAIR-Chicago. "It's illegal and it's bad business."
Edmonton Muslims host Eid dinner
EDMONTON–Edmonton Muslims last Sunday hosted an Eid dinner for the needy irrespective of their faith at the Boyle Street Community Services Center.
Aziz Khan, president of the Islamic Family and Social Services Association said, "We hold this dinner closer to Christmas than the end of Ramadan, so it's really a mixture of two great festivals," he said.
"It's part of the Islamic community connecting with the rest of the city, and you see the need with all the people we have here today."
They prepare enough food for 1,000, and hungry people were lined up into the street.
Sofia Yaqub, an director of the association who's involved with a variety of multicultural groups, said it's sad to see the dinner numbers growing each year. "You wonder how all these people fell into this situation."
Yaqub said the Muslim community encourages younger people to volunteer at the dinner. "We always get a big response, and it's an excellent experience for them to see how fortunate they are."

Supervisor James McBride introduced the newly elected mayors.
"We are here to assist you. We are not here to tell you what to do and how to do it in your town. That's your municipality," he said.
The mayors introduced were Donald Cooper, Boyle; Darryl Johnson, Mound Bayou; Levon Jackson, Pace; Harvey Green, Renova; Lamar Franks, Shaw; and Dan Harris, Shelby.
Members of the board of supervisors rendered a helping hand to the mayors by offering them future advice for budget control, if needed.
After his introduction, McBride added, "We're going to do all we can to make Bolivar County as comfortable as possible. We cannot fix every road in Bolivar County with yesterday's money but we will work closely with our mayors."
"I think the key thing is working together. We do want to help when we can, because this is a big county that we have to maintain and repair," added Supervisor Donny Whitten.
According to Supervisor Preston Billings, Harris of Shelby was absent due to an emergency that required his assistance.
Mayor Johnson of Mound Bayou expressed his gratitude by saying, "Mound Bayou is the greatest little town in Bolivar County. It is certainly the Jewel of the Delta.
"We are asking the board to help us with Mound Bayou. This past weekend, we had thousands of people coming into Mound Bayou for Septemberfest. It was a huge success."
Sheriff Kelvin Williams introduced the new warden, announced that the sheriff's department had found the vehicles they needed and expressed gratitude to the citizens of Bolivar County for helping them solve crimes.
"I would like to thank Sheriff Williams for giving me the opportunity. I am well-rounded and I look forward to moving the Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility forward," said Ora Starks, the new warden.
Despite a recent rise in crime in Bolivar County, Williams said the crime rate has decreased at least 50 percent since he took office.
"Within two weeks, we've had two homicides. We're not a massive department but with the guys we have, we try to get the job done. Our first priority is the county.
"We have been able to get things done with the help of citizens. The key element to solving crimes is having witnesses," he said.
"With the resources that we have, we are trying to be preventive. We ask the citizens to help us. They can call Crimestoppers and receive up to $1,000 for their cooperation, their identity will remain anonymous."
"When you hold back knowledge, that's a sin," said Billings. "Citizens of Bolivar County, please help Sheriff Williams to solve crimes. Our motto is, 'We come together and we work together.'"
Bolivar County Emergency Management Association Director William Quinton presented an order to authorize the Bolivar County to do a joint Mitigation Plan with Mississippi Emergency Management Agency.
The order was approved and according to Quinton the mitigation plan costs around $3,000.
The purpose of mitigation planning is to identify policies and actions that can be implemented over a long term to reduce risk and future losses.
Mitigation plans for the foundation for a community's long-term strategy to reduce disaster losses and break the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction and repeated damage.
It creates a framework for risk-based decision making to reduce damages to lives, property, and the economy from future disasters.
"If individuals do not have a mitigation plan, they will not receive any federal funds," said Quinton.

A Hollywood Classic
The creator of Will & Grace updates a 1930s Tudor house in Beverly Hills for his family, mixing eclectic antiques, contemporary ease, and a dash of West Coast glamour
By Ian Phillips
Erik Hyman and Max Mutchnicks Tudor-style mansion in Beverly Hills used to belong to Pete Sampras. During his Grand Slam reign, the tennis star prac- ticed on the championship court on the property. Its tragically underused, Mutchnick admits. In the shadow of Mr. Sampras, we dont feel worthy. Today, the court serves another athletic purpose, as a tricycle racetrack for the couples three-year-old twin daughters, Evan and Rose.
Even before Sampras, the estate had celebrity chops. It was built in the 1930s for the son of John Clum, a Federal Indian agent who captured Geronimo and was a close friend of Wyatt Earp. The current homeowners work in L.A.s most famous business: Hyman is an entertainment lawyer, and Mutchnick is a writer and producer who cocreated the hit TV series Will & Grace. Even their decorator, Melinda Ritz, has fame in her blood: Her father was one of the Ritz Brothers, a comedy trio that starred in such films as The Goldwyn Follies.
What attracted the pair to the property in the first place was what they call the backyard. Renovated with the help of landscape designer William Shapiro, the grounds feature huge old-growth trees, an oval pool, and a tropical garden.

The joy of Heck Of A Guy Confessionals1 lies in readers contributing unsolicited, engaging information. Today's Confessional offers a bonus; not only did this interesting information arrive unexpectedly but it is also, as far as I can determine, unavailable elsewhere in print or online.
The Buckskin Boys
Some background is necessary: The photo of an 17 or 18 year old Leonard Cohen and his two band mates previously published in the Heck Of A Guy post, Leonard Cohen – Boy Wonder, is one of my favorites. The graphic and accompanying text follow:
It was a year or two after entering McGill University (accounts vary) when Leonard Cohen formed his first band, The Buckskin Boys, which featured himself on guitar, a friend, Mike Doddman, on harmonica, and a friend of Doddman's who Cohen knew only as Terry playing bucket bass. This group is sometimes described as a "folk trio" but it seems to have been straightforwardly country western from the description Cohen gave an interviewer from Goldmine in 1993:
"Curiously enough, we found we all had buckskin jackets," he recalls. "Then it was on the basis of that mutual discovery that we named the group [The Buckskin Boys]. Mine I inherited from my father. Pretty beautiful jacket, it must be over a hundred years old. There was a convention in Montreal in those days where a lot of barn-dancing — square dancing — was done as a social activity," Cohen explains. "So, we played in church basements and high school auditoria, and we played conventional songs like 'Turkey In The Straw' that Terry would call to. You know, 'do-se-do.' I was playing rhythm guitar and Mike Doddman was playing harmonica, and we had these instruments amplified. So, we were doing just the appropriate square dance material."
Additional information about the photo and the group is offered in this excerpt from a a 1992 interview, Comme Un Guerrier (Translated: Come on Gorilla) published in Throat Culture magazine2
It must have been around the time of 1951-1952; I was in college. At the time, one entered college at 16 in Montreal and got out at 20. In the photo we must be 17 or 18. There was Mike, who lived on the same street as me, and Terry. Mike had some contacts with the church and the school. He said we could play there, make some money and have some fun. So we started to cover a lot of country and folk dances like "Little Red Valley." I wasn't the singer except for a few folk songs. We lasted one or two seasons (laughs).
In the photo, Leonard Cohen poses with his guitar at the bottom, harmonica-playing Mike Doddman is in the middle, and the square dance caller and bucket bass player, known only as Terry, is at the top.
The preceding constitutes the documented history of the Buckskin Boys.
Daddy Was A Buckskin Boy
Then I heard from Dan Sullivan:
The un-named member of the Buckskin Boys was TerryDavis. He is the gentleman at the top on the picture. While I never had the chance to meet the man, I have enjoyed being married to his daughter for the last 26 years.
When I asked for more information, Sue (Davis) Sullivan wrote,
My Dad, Terry Davis was a student at McGill (actually more of a party scholar) when he became a Buckskin Boy.
I remember my grandmother saying that they would come for dinner on a Friday night and she was never sure what single meal she could to serve a Catholic, a Protestant & a Jew!
The girls must have swooned around the group – when my father died at 40, (Sept 1976) during open-heart surgery we received a couple of sympathy cards, saying how much they loved being entertained by him.
Terry was not what I'd call musically gifted but he did love to entertain.
Mom & Dad were married in 1958. My dad became a top-notch Group Insurance salesman, winning many sales contests. His personality and charm suited this profession very well. He had 3 children: Sue, Ian & Heather.
We like to say "Our dad & Leonard Cohen were buddies in a band".
And the Heck Of A Guy blog has the honor of documenting that Terry Davis was the lead singer (or, at least, lead caller) for the Buckskin Boys, backed by Mike Doddman on harmonica and Leonard Cohen, then just a kid with a crazy dream, on guitar.

The STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) Journal is a transdisciplinary, theory-practice, peer-reviewed, open access, online journal with a focus on the intersection of STEM and Art. The journal integrates perspectives from a variety of contexts and fields.
The STEAM Journal is an open-access online journal and not printed, however readers may view and/or download and/or print each author/artist's work as a PDF file.
To take part in dialogue, activities, experiments please see the blog for the inaugural issue here: thesteamjournal-inauguralissue.blogspot.com
Questions & comments can be directed to: firstname.lastname@example.com or Tel:424-23-STEAM (424-237-8326).
STEAM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics.
In the STEAM Journal the emphasis is on the bridge between Science, Technology, Engineering Mathematics (STEM) and the Arts. In this context, the journal acts as a forum for open dialogue of STEM and topics relating to STEM with a flexible definition of the Arts. More specifically, this Journal acts as a common area for research and academic endeavors that looks to expand the body of knowledge concerning the intersection of the Arts with STEM disciplines. Furthermore, this Journal is to be a hub for scholars and practitioners of many disciplines who wish to provide commentary on STEAM.
Although there is a long history of the interaction of the sciences with the arts, STEAM is a new acronym that has emerged over the last decade and has a multitude of definitions and approaches. Some of the main themes of STEAM are fostering innovation, the need for twenty-first century skills, and divergent and convergent thinking. The STEAM Journal welcomes discussion on the many aspects of STEAM.
"So, how do we address this looming "innovation gap" and is what we are doing with STEM sufficient? This question and part of the answer leads to STEAM – going a step beyond STEM by assuring the arts are an integral and necessary part of educating our future innovators so they can compete successfully in the forthcoming world economy. This is not an issue about including arts because it is "nice" to do so, but rather it is an imperative because our economic future is at stake." Harvey White March 11, 2010 The San Diego Union Tribune
"Innovation and creativity is America's global competitive advantage. There is little doubt STEM education and STEM skills are an essential part of this country's long term competitive edge, but STEM is missing a key set of creativity-related components that are equally critical to fostering a competitive and innovative workforce, and those skills are summarized under the letter "A" for Arts as the foundation for "divergent thinking." The STE+AM Manifesto 2010-2012 STE+AM Manifesto
"STEAM represents the economic progress and breakthrough innovation that comes from adding art and design to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education and research: STEM + Art = STEAM. The value of art and design to innovation is clear: Artists and designers humanize technology, making it understandable and capable of bringing about societal change. The tools and methods of a studio-based education offer new models for creative problem solving, flexible thinking and risk-taking that are needed in today's complex and dynamic world." Rhode Island School of Design 2011 STEM to STEAM

(Former) Rep. Cynthia McKinney, and Gaza
January 14, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Sacramento– January 10th–(Ex-Representative) Cynthia McKinney spoke here at the Salam Center, a Community nucleus for the Islamic Community of the Greater Sacramento Area as part of a program put together by the new American Muslims for Palestine (AMP). Before the speeches by Cynthia and Hatem Bazian (whose comments your journalist will report on in a future article), we ate a communal Halal dinner at the Center.
McKinney is an Afro-American Person of the Book who served six terms in the U.S. House of Representatives gaining the ire of AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) and the U.S. India Political Action Committee (USINPAC) for her strong support of the Islamic nations of Pakistan and Palestine. The two lobby organizations' political "war chest" money and power cause her to lose her seat in a prominently Black District twice despite the fact she had served six terms in Congress.
She has doubts facts about September 11th, 2001, also; so, she served on the Citizens Commission on 9/11. After looking at the details of that day in New York City, she signed the 9/11 Truth Movement asking for new investigations on the unexplained aspects of that incident.
While still in the Lower House, she presented Articles of Impeachment against former President Bush, Vice President Cheney and (then) Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Further, Cynthia McKinney's educational background and experience makes her solidly authoritative on foreign affairs.
During Tel Aviv' attacks upon Gaza she attempted to enter the Strip with humanitarian supplies — twice unsuccessfully by sea and once successfully by land.
On her first endeavor, the blockading Israeli Navy rammed her ship. Mentioning that she was not a Palestinian, she asserted "That I [would] die is one of the [most] honorable [things] I could" do.
On the second effort, McKinney found herself surrounded by Israeli War boats. All the passengers and crew were "kidnapped" (captured), and imprisoned for ten days. Cynthia was, additionally, banned from Israel for ten years – including the Occupied Territories (i.e., Palestine).
After she was released from detention and deported, she received a call from the British Member of Parliament, George Galloway, who is the director of Viva Palestina which has entered Gaza with conveys of trucks containing relief supplies, called Ms. McKinney and asked her to come with his trucks across the Rafah crossing from Egypt into shattered Gaza. The (prior) Congresswoman described that the horrible devastation of the diminutive State was over-powering, but, on the other hand, she attested to the defiant spirit of the people.
"We have to resist" our (own) government (U.S.) "…like the Palestinians" the Israeli. "Washington D.C. is ground Xerox," too. Describing her experience on the Coastal Strip, "I was the one whose spirit was uplifted…In my heart, I am a Palestinian!"
