Learning Hebrew - Lesson 1. Torah (Teachings) of Yahshua Messiah (Jesus, Yeshua) - rebuking the Trinity and Lawlessness. © Copyright 2001, TorahofMessiah.com Disclaimer: The issue of the "virgin birth" is not, in my opinion, of a redemptive (affecting our redemption) nature.
I address it primarily because many utilize it as "proof" that Messiah is God. However, there are many sincere seekers of truth that realize Messiah is NOT God yet still believe in the virgin birth. I consider such people to be worshippers of the TRUE God (vs. those that promote a "God in the flesh" Messiah), and we enjoy full fellowship together even though we may disagree on this particular issue. Nevertheless, I consider it my duty as I strive to serve the ONE and ONLY God to present my opinion since I feel the virgin birth concept is a pagan derived fabrication that was "edited" into the Messianic writings (New Testament) by scribes that were steeped in the mystery Babylon religion.

As the German and French Jews of the medieval period formed a uniform group in culture and religious customs, they were all referred to as Ashkenazim in contradistinction to the Sefardim or Spanish- Portuguese Jews. Ashkenazim are the people who use Nusach Ashkenaz, the prayer arrangement adopted by the medieval Franco-German Jews, including certain variations described as belonging to the Polish custom (Minhag Polin). In the 18th century, the Chasidic movement adopted the Sefardic arrangement of prayers; hence, the Chasidim have been called Sefardim on many occasions.

Lets start by looking at when a day starts and ends: Bereshit (Genesis) 1:5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night. " And there was evening, and there was morning--one day.

Most ancient Hebrew biblical inscription deciphered, scholar says. A breakthrough in the research of the Hebrew scriptures has shed new light on the period in which the Bible was written. Professor Gershon Galil of the Department of Biblical Studies at the University of Haifa has deciphered an inscription on a pottery shard discovered in the Elah valley dating from the 10th century BCE (the period of King David's reign), and has shown that this is a Hebrew inscription. The discovery makes this the earliest known Hebrew writing. The significance of this breakthrough relates to the fact that at least some of the biblical scriptures were composed hundreds of years before the dates presented today in research and that the Kingdom of Israel already existed at that time.
10th Century Hebrew Inscription on Pottery from Khirbet Qeiyafa, Israel Confirms Biblical Claims. Introduction Many skeptics claim that the Bible wasn't written until the fifth century B.C., since ancient Hebrew wasn't even in existence until then.
However, recent discoveries show written Hebrew was in existence by the 10th century, B.C.

Airdrie residents produce motorsports documentaryBy: Nick Kuhl | Posted: Wednesday, Mar 14, 2012 01:43 pm Two local filmmakers are hoping their new documentary will capture the memory of motorcycle racing in the region � and maybe give it a new life. Rebecca McKay Photos
Airdronians Covy Moore and Chris Phillips recently completed work on Life at 45�, a 27-minute picture detailing the final weekend of motorcycle racing at the now-closed Race City Speedway in Calgary. Filmed during three days of racing Sept. 15 to 17, 2011, Life at 45� features a number of interviews with the riders, a narrative track from rider Ali Cohen, as well as footage from a number of angles including on-board the motorcycles. The feature had its premiere on March 8 at the Globe Theatre in Calgary where about 250 people attended. �It seemed really well received,� said Moore, who directed the project. �It�s the first time we�ve done anything like this and I wasn�t sure what to expect. Most of the people were people I�ve met in the last couple of years at the track and it was cool to see those faces again. They all seemed really excited to watch it.� �I�m happy with the final product,� said Phillips, who spent nearly 150 hours paring down the raw footage into 27 minutes. �I�m happy with what it�s accomplished so far, just spreading the word and giving something back � something to this community of racers. This is something solid for them to have and just share with people and say �this is what we used to do.�� Moore, who has been interested in all things motorsport-related since 2003, when he started attending oval stock car races at Race City, came up with the idea for Life at 45� when he attended the penultimate weekend of racing action. �Motorsports is my passion and just knowing that would be gone led to a really heavy realization that we are right near the end of this track and I�m not going to have anywhere to go either,� he said. Moore contacted Tim Johnson, the president of the Calgary Motorcycle Road Racing Association (CMRA), to ask about the idea and access during the final weekend of racing. The response was an overwhelming yes, so he quickly assembled the crew of Phillips, Murray Phillips, David Jensen and Rebecca McKay. �They were happy with our interest in doing something like that and had their total support,� Moore said of the CMRA. �And I can�t thank them (production crew) enough. If it was just Chris and me out there, it wouldn�t be a 27-minute feature, it would be an eight-minute highlight video.� The production, which had about 50 hours of raw footage, used two digital SLR�s to film the interview segments, an older-model digital video camera for background footage, a high-speed camera to capture the racing in slow-motion, and two GoPro cameras of their own, as well as several of the riders� own, for the racing action. Moore and Phillips both said their primary ambition was to show both the history and emotion these riders put in, as well as the potential of providing awareness for the future of racing in the area. �These guys go out and spend all this money and ride on the track and all they have to remember it by are bills and cool memories,� Moore said. �This was a good way to put those memories into a hard copy. Giving them something to remember it by was really important to us. �During the time of the filming, we spoke to two people on the MARCS (Calgary�s Motorsports, Arts, Racing, Culture and Sport) committee, and their primary goal is to get another Race City-like facility into Calgary or the area. Maybe even out the Airdrie way, near the airport. Motorsports, while you don�t see them everywhere and they�re not the most popular thing in this part of the country � we do need them.� A three-minute clip from Life at 45� can be viewed on YouTube, while there is also a full DVD release in the works. There will 100 copies on the original run, available for pre-order at www.roadracing.org, with all funds going to the CMRA and its efforts to bring racing back to the region. Comments

Can You Overdose on Vitamins and Minerals?
Nutritionist Janis Jibrin, author of The Supermarket Diet, answers your health and dieting questions.

I've heard that too much vitamin A is dangerous. How much is too much? And are there other vitamins or minerals that I could overdose on?Rosario Fernandez, New York, NY
Rosario, you're smart to be concerned about overdoing it; I know so many people who gobble down scary amounts of tablets.You're safe with a multi that covers about 100% of the Daily Value (DV) for all vitamins and minerals. Daily Values are the levels of vitamins and minerals set by the Food and Drug Administration for the general population. Some vitamins, like most of the Bs and Cs, are safe in doses many times the DV. But watch out for the following nutrients you don't want to overdo them.

We are pleased to have the following performers grace our NEW STAGE & use our NEW SOUND SYSTEM.
Check the calendar for details.
Lloyd Allen, Sr.
Considered one of the top acoustic blues guitarists on the West Coast, Terry Robb is also an inventive and ever-evolving American primitive master. As an heir to the late, great John Fahey's musical legacy, Robb is an established icon in a pantheon that includes Robbie Basho, Leo Kottke, Peter Lang, John Renbourn, and Stefan Grossman.
Because American primitivism, a transitional style that ranges between country blues and early 20th century string-band music, is often nuanced by dissonance and minor tunings, it is sometimes considered esoteric and obscure, appealing only to a musically intellectual elite. But Robb has distinguished himself by redefining this complex finger-picking style, using popular and traditional genres to open up and make this approach accessible to the general music-loving public.
Robb is that rare talent, a musician's musician and an enormously popular performer. Onstage, his fleet fingers, wry humor, and intense focus mesmerize audiences. The passionate artistry of a Terry Robb event – whether a solo acoustic performance or a high-energy show with his electric band – often leaves new and longtime fans with mouths agape.
With the release in 2005 of his critically-acclaimed solo album, Resting Place, recorded for Memphis' renowned Yellow Dog Records label, Robb has increasingly gained national attention. In his music-savvy hometown of Portland, Oregon, Robb is a celebrity in high demand as a performing and studio guitarist, and as a bandleader, composer, arranger, producer, and teacher. With years of real-world musical experience in his gig-bag, Robb brings this expertise to his most recent role as head of the Northwest's new recording label, PsycheDelta Records.
Etta James herself has referred to Margo as "the white Etta James". She is the recipient of the prestigious Muddy Waters Award for Outstanding Female Blues Vocalist. Although a native of San Francisco, Margo has been a fixture on the Portland blues scene for over two decades. In addition to her"powerhouse vocals" (Marty Hughley – A&E) Margo is known for consistently featuring the finest blues and jazz musicians in the Northwest. Pleasing the listener and dancer alike, Margo fronts a jazz standards trio, a 4 piece hard-core blues band, a 5-6 member R&B dance unit or the "full-tilt boogie" big horn band. Whatever the occasion, Margo delivers the goods.
Over the years, former (and current) band members read like a "Who's Who" of the Northwest music scene:Robbie Laws, Renato Caranto, Brian Foxworth, Phil Haxton, Benny Wilson, (all featured on "Live at the Candlelight"), Doug Rowell, Chris Carlson, Jim Mesi, Chris Baum, Dover Weinberg, Ben Jones, Randy Cannon, Jeff Frankel and Sonny Hess. Margo has had the honor of working with such blues legends as Etta James, Robert Cray, Albert Collins, James Cotton, Katie Webster, John Mayall and The Kinsey Report.
The Margo Tufo Band entered the prestigiousInternational Blues Talent Search. Selected from a field of over 400 bands they came in first runner up in the West Coast division held in Compton, CA. Margo has performed at the Portland Waterfront Blues Festival(and she is featured on Burnside Record's "Best of the Waterfront Blues Festival") for seven consecutive years, and has performed at the prestigious Mount Hood Festival of Jazz.
Fenix, an award winning saxophonist and vocalist, has backed and performed with many notable artists both in Oregon and Washington his former home state. He combines soulful song styling with the power and performance of a Baptist preacher. You can hear his Mississippi Juke Joint roots in every note.

For my first official post, I think I'll dedicate it for my birthday dinner at Seasons in the Park. Too bad I didn't get a chance to take a picture of the restaurant from the outside. By the time I got a chance, it was too dark already, we were late when we arrived. The interior was amazing, it was so romantic after they dimmed the lights half-way through dinner.
Service was top-notch. Shortly after we were seated, we were given a warm basket of complementary bread. It was soft, but it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. I had one because I didn't want to get filled up so quickly.
If I remember correctly, this would be the New England Clam Chowder. The portion looks small in the photo, but it's just because we split it in half. This chowder was not as thick as I thought it'd be. To be honest, I like how there weren't too many ingredients in there, and the drizzle of olive oil was great.
My waitress recommended this drink to me, pink Victoria. She told me everyone who likes grapefruit will love this drink. If I remember correctly, it had grapefruit juice, vodka and lemon juice. I love grapefruit, so I was sold right away. Though I was utterly disappointed when I gave it a sip. It had no trace of any grapefruit juice and when I told my waitress, she gave me an extra cup of grapefruit juice to add into it. Bonus points for out standing service.
We were starving so we got more starters before our mains. We were debating between the Dungeness crab cakes or the sweet & spicy spare ribs. And I guess we got the ribs. It was not bad, more sour than spicy. The ribs itself were good, easy to pull off and enough sauce to go around. However, I did find that the sauce reminded me a little bit of the Chinese dish, sweet & sour pork. Not that it was a bad thing, but I expected a little more.
T got the 7oz Filet Mignon. I really wanted to order this too, but I didn't want to have 2 filets on the table. I wanted to try more food. I believe he got it medium rare, but it was leaning a little more towards medium. Tender but soft and nice to chew.
I got the feature fish, which was the coho salmon. I think it was Jasmine rice on the bottom, but don't take my word for it. I love how the salmon was on top of a bed of greens. The salmon was fantastic! After taking a bite of this, I was glad I got this instead of getting the filet also. It was so soft, and it wasn't overly cooked to the point where it falls apart once you slice it. I'm not sure if they did it on purpose, but the inside was only half cooked through. I loved it though, the texture was amazing.
Last dish and the best dish gets the biggest picture. We were both stuffed, but I couldn't end the dinner without dessert. Our server kept telling me how amazing their cheesecake was, and there is always room for dessert so again, I took her word for it. This cheesecake was sleeping on a bed of strawberry sauce. I loved every might. I hate super rich cheesecake, don't hate me. But I can't handle the richness. But this was just right, it was light and the sauce was also light. I was surprised the sauce wasn't overly sweet, but just the right amount to bring the cheesecake to another level. I finished every bite and left with a bulging stomach. If anything, I'd recommend this out of all the dishes I've had. yum.
Food was great, dessert was AMAZING. Service was top-notch, atmosphere was good. Loved the interior. Will I go back? Definitely! But not on a daily basis.

I have been accessing the Davita website at home and at times while I am at the Davita Dialysis center. Most of the time I have no problems with the navigation of the site. The main problem I have is when I try to go to the DHP to log in, it always asks for an answer to a security question and the last 4 digits of your social. Even though I know all of the answers I have in there, it always says for the first two attempts that it does not match. Only the third security question and SS number works.
I cannot even find a way to view or change my questions or answers.
Does anyone have any help for me where to find my security questions and answers before I attempt to call them in person and reset everything....Again? Thnx in advance.

yet another attempt on Obamas life
Given the fact that it's pretty obvious he will be our next POTUS do you think he'll either a make it in office or make it out of office alive?
I can't remember in the past so many attempts on a candidates life. Ok, I can't remember any attempts on a candidates life.
I remember Reagan getting shot, I was home sick from school that day and saw it happen on TV. I'm not old enough to have been around for JFK.
Does the secret service actually have the ability to protect him? DH doesn't want to vote for him because he doesn't want to contribute to his demise. It doesn't seem that would really matter at this point though. He'd assumably have less protection if he's not elected, wouldn't he?
Why on God's green earth can't people hate each other just because they do anymore? Why does it still have to be about the color of thier skin? I fail to comprehend.
There are many of us that fail to comprehend, bvelvis. Honestly, I've been watching posters on this forum ask McCain supporters why they're voting for him, and as you know, they invariably respond with attacks on Obama. I haven't wanted to say this or even think it, but I can't help but think it comes down to the color of his skin. The man has shown himself to have extraordinary intelligence, patience, a willingness to listen to the opinions of others, and an amazing ability to unite and inspire. Eight years of Bush/GOP rule has brought this country to it's knees and we have no respect globally. John McCain is NOT respected outside of this country and Sarah Palin is a global joke. Republican leaders have endorsed him and yet.....even though they can't come up with a single logical, reasonable reason to support John McCain...they won't even consider Obama. That is a sad commentary and tells me we still have a long way to go
And why can't they just agree to disagree?
It seems that for so many people social or personal control is failing to curb the urge to turn to violence. Sometimes I'm afraid that simply disagreeing with someone might trigger their uncontrollable rage. And then there are those whose rage isn't hot and quick but cold and calculated - perhaps I fear them even more for they seem so convinced they are right and that they have the (god given?) right to kill anyone who sees things differently.
And that mentality is what is really scary - not islamic extremists or right wing religious extremists or left wing extremists. It's the people of whatever stripe who are convinced that they not only are right, but they have both all the answers and the right to force others to see things their way.
I have to believe that Obama will survive and thrive because if I don't I feel like I'm letting the "evil doers" win. But I wonder.
I worry about it. Most of the people that I talk to who are voting for Obama are worried about his possible assassination as well. I simply can't understand it at all. If we could put up with 8 years of the most moronic leadership under Bush without someone taking him out, then people who feel strongly about Obama can certainly stand to live under his Presidency without resorting to violence.
I haven't wanted to say this or even think it, but I can't help but think it comes down to the color of his skin.
Not another Republican pulling out the old race card....
So pattiem thinks the reason we should vote for Obey One is because he's "shown himself to have extraordinary intelligence, patience, a willingness to listen to the opinions of others, and an amazing ability to unite and inspire."
And for those of us who are not inspired by this god amongst men? We are 'evil doers'.
Nice forum here. No name calling, no race card pulling, just decent folk have decent discussions.
So cait from australia, you'd rather see Obama dead? Very curious from someone not even seemingly involved in our situation here in America.
I think btw the skin head racists just might be the ones playing this particular race card. I'd think that's pretty darn obvious. skin heads=hate blacks=hate obama=try to kill obama (and 88? other black individuals) something crazy like that. I'd say yes, they were indeed playing the race card that's why they're referred to as racists.
Given the fact that no McCain-Palin supporters have even denounced the racial codes and rhetoric being used by their candidates, I am only hopeful that Senator Obama will remain in good health over the coming years.
Cait, what do you mean "we should vote for". Are you voting in this election?
bve I find it extraordinary that you would deduce that from my comment. I suppose Lincoln and Kennedy were both assasinatated because of race. And the attempted assasination of Reagan was also because of his race.
Just b/c Obey One's half and half doesn't mean that is why there are attempts on his life. It could just be because of his political outlook. I will not presume to know what is in another's mind. I kindly ask you do the same.
mama - I've already said yes to that question. Please keep up.
This attempt was racist - no two ways about it. It was planned by skin-heads who were going to kill 88 other "non-Caucasians" and then try to end it by killing Obama.
And you think, cait1, that this attempted assassination might have been for some other reason?
Cait, I'm going to be fair and say that you apparently don't have current US news in your country. Please read the article before completely destroying your credibility.
" Two white supremacists allegedly plotted to go on a national killing spree, shooting and decapitating black people and ultimately targeting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, federal authorities said Monday"
AP news.
If that's not a racist action, I don't know what your definition could possibly be. I thought that Australia was part of this galaxy. I could have been wrong I guess.
Lincoln was shot because he was loathed by the South for freeing the slaves. To top it off, he was likely part black himself. My family was from the South. I'd be a very rich woman today had it not been for the war. I don't condone however what my family had gained because they enslaved others. There are many people I've talked to who I am related to who still talk badly about Lincoln. STILL, the war hasn't been over all that long according to them. So, before you claim to think you have an idea what you're talking about... read the article.
Of course Kennedy was Irish and Catholic and not everyone likes/liked Irish Catholics then. It used to be very very not cool to be Irish, or Italian.
Reagan was shot because of Jody Foster. She is a pretty white girl, I'll give you that.
p.s read the article.
Here is a link that might be useful: white supremists plot
88 + 14 people, 88 by shooting and 14 by beheading and they think Obama is a terrorist.
Lincoln killed because of race related positions - like wanting black people free instead of property as slaves.
Kennedy most likely the same thing since he was a supporter of civil rights and so was his brother Bobby.
McCain, Palin and their radical supporters that spew the hate and division in this country during this campaign are ALL culpable.
cait, if you thought my reference to "evil doers" was towards people not voting for Obama, I must not have been clear enough in my post. I was referring to those who would attempt assassination of a candidate they disagreed with.
Do you agree, that they might legitimately be termed such, or do you have other views?
I agree that there might be other reasons besides race for crazy people to want to hurt someone, but since you "don't presume to know what is in another's mind", how can you say that race is not behind such attempts?
blue_velvet_elvis, please take your own words and pattiem93's response and apply it to DH doesn't want to vote for him because he doesn't want to contribute to his demise. Is that an excuse of a different kind? I do have to say it's very original. No offense. I guess everyone has their reasons.
thermometer, I gave up trying to understand my DH before we were married. It's like a rubiks cube with no answer. Completely and utterly impossible.
He has been deeply troubled by this. I told him tonight he ought to vote for Obama then to keep him safe because if he does not win he won't have all the secret service at his disposal.
I think there might be more, he said he's still voting for Ralph Nader (or me as he's written my name before) lol
In answer to your question, I think George Wallace was running for president in the 1972 election when he was shot. This current evil plot was obviously racially motivated, but honestly, I don't think any presidential candidate or any president is safe from nuts. I mean, look at the two attempts on Gerald Ford's life. He wasn't controversial except for the Nixon pardon, but that didn't stop the wackos. I just hope Obama stays safe. We need him.
You have the standard wacko contingent. Then the neo-Nazi contingent, plus the wingnut contingent listening to the multi-millionaire radio howlers ranting how Obama is going to nationalize our children and force them into slave labor, and the Religious Right who preach that Obama is going to force convicted pedophiles down the throat of the Boy Scouts of America, making them sleep in the same tent with young boys.
So my guess is the Secret Service is on their toes. Making use of the shadier sides of the Patriot Act. Now wouldn't that be ironic?
Of course it's racist..that's what white supremacists are about!! Why they are called supremacists I don't have a clue!! Just ignorant people who have a need to hate someone. Seems almost everyone does. And he could be running as a republican, that hatred would still be there by those kinds of people.
The hatred of Sarah Palin by democratic women astounds me as well. They didn't have to know anything about her, just that she was a woman and she was prolife. How can people hate for such ridiculous reasons? The color of a person's skin, their gender. As much as I might disagree with Obama, I can't imagine hating the man.
"McCain, Palin and their radical supporters that spew the hate and division in this country during this campaign are ALL culpable."
Yea....all the Libs are oh so nice.....
Care to explain this? Maybe I'll make one of good ol Obama, I wonder what that'll get me
No outside linking?
Here ya go. A role model for Libs....sorry, but you guys are no better, and in many of cases the cause of alot of problems.
Here is a link that might be useful: Sarah Palin
The hatred of Sarah Palin by democratic women astounds me as well.
That's just too wide a brush to paint over all Democratic women. Surely you realize there are Republican women who do not want her to become VP as well, right? And, surely you recognize men of both persuasions also do not want her to become VP. I also think the word "hatred" is too strong a word. I cannot speak for other people, but I don't hate anyone, not anyone. I cannot account for people saying petty things about her, such as criticizing her hair or saying she's not pretty. She is a very pretty woman, and I couldn't care less about her hair. I have never stated (or written) such petty things. I talk about how dumb she is, how vacuous she is, how un-inquisitive, how lying, how hateful, unintelligent, divisive, cunning, how vindictive, how undeveloped and unprepared she is, and how unequivocally and indisputably unqualified for VP she is.
I did not on sight discount her as a person in any of those respects. I defined everything she showed us and found woeful the prospect of her anywhere near the White House. But that was after she was initially selected, when the selection, itself, was affront and offense to all of womankind (and to men, as we later learned she was meant to appeal to hem sexually). I cannot explain those women, such as yourself, who seem to think a uterus is somehow an integral part of qualifications and think that running her household (with no idea how she ran her household) was analogous to running the US Government. McCain thought he'd play an ace by pandering to our sense of gender acceptance rather than our good sense. He thought he was so slick and was sure to get elected by scheming and underestimating the entire country's intelligence. He was only right accounts. Not all. Not me.
I will assume that there may be democratic women who "hate" Sarah Palin but I don't see them much on this forum. I do see people, women and men, who disagree with Ms. Palin vehemently about many things, and who believe she is not qualified to be POTUS. And make no mistake, to be qualified to be VP she must be qualified to do the job at the top. And this person is not qualified.
The fact that she is anti-choice is just one more thing which disqualifies her, IMHO.
Nice try at a dodge.....Or did anyone of you even click on the link?
"I talk about how dumb she is, how vacuous she is, how un-inquisitive, how lying, how hateful, unintelligent, divisive, cunning, how vindictive, how undeveloped and unprepared she is, and how unequivocally and indisputably unqualified for VP she is"
Thanks for describing in exquisite detail Hillary Clinton for me.
That statement sounds pretty hateful and small mindedly petty as well.
The hatred of Sarah Palin by democratic women astounds me as well. They didn't have to know anything about her, just that she was a woman and she was prolife. How can people hate for such ridiculous reasons?
Are you really this ignorant?
Is the only reason you can come up with petty jealousy?
Women have fought tooth and nail for NINETY years to be taken seriously on the U.S. stage as something more than a pretty face and a folksy accent.
And that's all she is.
For god's sake she was a journalism MAJOR and couldn't name a single newspaper or magazine. It was a perfect opportunity to mention "Christianity Today" - something her fan base would have went nuts for! Instead she made a tense smile and gave yet another dear in the headlights response.
MILLIONS of women have spent their entire lives fighting for their fair share in history. High powered CEOs. Lawyers. Doctors. Soldiers. I understand their rage that someone so ignorant, so petty*, so hypocritical.
Conservatives are convinced that Obama is an empty suit - fair enough. He's new enough to be queasy about trusting our country too.
But the rest of the country sees Palin for what she is.
And empty head.
*Her election to mayor was predicated upon her billing herself as "the first Christian mayor". Sanctimonious @$(*)@
Thanks for describing in exquisite detail Hillary Clinton for me.
Don't be dense.
Hillary Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar and is undoubtedly more informed than you. Heck - me too. Comes with the territory. small mindedly petty
Yes. Noting someone is as dumb as a brick and a dangerous choice to put in control of the planet's most powerful military is petty.
I'm sure there are more important concerns than putting a worse dunce than Bush in a position of total power.
Gator, do you think thermometer was wrong in what was said?
It seems that even I can think of examples for most of the comments..... let's see for lying (or lyin') there was the "I was cleared" and "he pals around with terrorists".
For divisive there are her comments about some people being un-american.
Vindictive, I guess you have Troopergate.
Dumb - where to start? "I can see Russia" "Bush doctrine?" I read lots of stuff but I won't tell you what it is.
Unprepared - see dumb above.
This is kind of fun. We could make it a game. Your turn.
gator - I'll reply. I think that is despicable. I really fear for our country. It is so divided. And, there are so many gullible people who, for whatever reason, will believe anything that supports their fears and not try to critically analyze them. I think this applies more to the McCain supporters (where Obama's character is attacked much more than McCain's, and the attacks are race or religion based, for the most part). But, I realize McCain supporters feel the same re Obama supporters.
But, in the end, it comes down to the division in our country. It's frightening. I hope Obama will be able to diminish this. I think it is a reason a lot of people are voting for him. And, I think, it is the Rovian Republicans and hate-talk radio and TV which has fueled this fire for the past 15-20 years.
BVE, I'm going to ignore all the attempts to sidetrack your thread and answer your question.
If they have been able to keep Bush safe for the last eight years, I think they can also keep Obama safe. I think they're going to have to work hard but they can do it. I will be happier, though, when he stops appearing in such huge public places. Tell your DH to go ahead and vote for him... and remind him that even if the worst happened, Biden beats the heck out of McPalin in any case.
As to why, I don't understand either -- except that some folks are raised to that kind of hate. McCain's vicious campaign tactics sure didn't help either.
Oceanna, I think there are a whole world of other people out there to get Obama than there were Bush.
Racism is a huge, putrid, festering wound on us as a country. Its not about politics, it's part of the every day chit chat language that I experienced in the South. Obviously, not all Southerners feel this way but the ones I came in close contact did with. They didn't want thier pretty daughters working at Target because there were probably some "darkies" there.
I live in an almost completely white area. The only black people I know, I'm friends with. I know there are racists here too, but its impolite to discuss and not socially acceptable. It's more aimed at Mexicans here.
Anyway, I think there is an entire extra layer on the safety cake for Obama than there has been for any other black politician. It sickens me and it saddens me.
Obama gets targeted by skinhead white supremacists and the response by Cait when this is brought up for discussion is that Obama supporters are playing the race card! You really are amazing. Thanks for showing us the face of the Republican party so clearly.
"The hatred of Sarah Palin by democratic women astounds me as well. They didn't have to know anything about her, just that she was a woman and she was prolife. How can people hate for such ridiculous reasons?"
I don't "hate" anyone. I would suggest that you go back and read my responses on your previous thread. Sarah Palin is the epitome of corrupt politician and an unmitigated disaster for our country. THAT'S why I won't vote for her. I would have no problem supporting Michelle Obama, Jill Biden, Hillary Clinton or any other competent female. Heck-I'd even support myself! I have more experience than Sarah and I've even travelled the world enough to know what other countries really think of us!
Here is a link that might be useful: read my responses please
Eric got it right. I did not fight on the front lines of the women's movement to see some dense babe who hasn't got a clue be pushed to the top for no good reason other than a man can make her the fall guy. That is not what women's rights is about, so you might want to do some research on that. If you were truly FOR women's rights, you would recognize the set up in play.
As for her intelligence, my grandchildren had talking dolls that put together better sentences. She is giving inane responses which only proves how inept she is. In case you have not noticed, some Republicans have called for her to step down and since she has not, many have stopped supporting the McCain-Palin ticket. When has that ever happened with another female candidate?
YOU can pretend she is brilliant, just do not try to take down Senator Clinton in the process because she has proven herself on many levels whereas Governor Palin is yet to prove herself on even one.
And do not diminish genuine concern over her being out of her league as being nothing but petty jealousy because the only person you are making look bad with that comment is you. It's sheer idiocy.

So here it goes, I love my friends. I love them more than
I love myself most days. They've all been just great with
my recent coming out situation, ordeal, whatever. All my
friends have been great about it. Except since I've come
out in the open with them, there's a sort of a barrier
that flies up with my guy friends.
All my female friends crack jokes about my sexuality and
I'm totally cool with that. I myself crack jokes about my
sexuality. I mean, why not? Cracking jokes about myself
means I'm at a total comfort level with myself, and that's
just great.
But my guy friends, I don't know. They do the same thing, only
I become defensive about what they say. They find the whole
lesbian thing extreamly hot, but who can blame them, right?
That's really not the point though.
I totally understand that they are curious about everything.
And my being constantly bombarded with their rauchy questions
doesn't bother me. Okay, I don't know how to explain it where
it doesn't sound weird...
So here's an example of what they've said/done. We're hanging
out at Ryan's parents fixing my truck. (Yea, I do realize that
the whole female working on cars is such a lesbian stereotype)
But the boys also realized this. Which pretty much started this
whole rant here. Anyways, the guys ask me stupid questions such
as, "Would you ever video tape you and your girlfriend together
and let us have the tape?" I mean, hell, I wouldn't even do
that if I were straight! *not the video taping, but the video
taping and handing over the tape.*
Oh, it gets better...they actually tired to get me into some
flannel shit because, and I quote, "It's a total lesbian thing."
I just deal with it because it's all out of good humor and all,
but they never can drop the subject of my sexuality. It's not
like I sit there and question their sexuality.
One night one of them asked how I knew I was gay. Not a bad
question. But I didn't know how to answer it. So when I answered
with a simple, "I know I'm gay the same way you know you're
straight." They just weren't happy. How the fuck do you answer
a question like that? YOU JUST KNOW! Come on!
Don't get me wrong, I love hanging out with the boys and all,
because we do shit that the girls and I don't, but I hate how
everything gets turned back to my sexuality. Can't they just
leave my sexuality alone for once!?!?!?
I would much rather hear about how they find my sister hot. Not
a topic I would like to be included on since she's my sister, but
at least it would get them off of my lesbianism.
This is totally off my beginning subject, but I ran into one of my
sisters friends and some how I got roped into going to youth group
on Wednesday. Yea, I don't like church things, never have. All I
can say is thank God that none of them, that I know, have kept in
touch with my sister since she left for Portland 2 years ago.
I know some of my friends that I went to school with go to that
youth group and have probably caught on to my msn shit and all.
That just kinda got my mind wandering...what if they already knew
and are going to try to "convert me into being straight." Is it
bad that that thought made me laugh?
Yea, alright, so that's enough for the time being. I made myself
laugh, that was good for tonight, maybe I'll try to get some shut
eye here soon...past the point of being tired once again.
~ I got the MIDAS TOUCH. Baby let me touch your body and your soul ~
Hhahahahaha Im not a lesbian but Im going to be a mechanic after nursing lol!!! I'll come fix you if you need fixing, remember Im a student nurse lol ;) ahahahahahahhaa...Im not joking tho! =)
I'll email you later on!
guys just dont know how to handle it - they either go silent and dont mention it or ask stupid questions. if it helps, my best friend who seemed so sorted with me being gay and we talked about it plenty, i though she understood then one day she just came out with - maybe you just havent met the right guy yet. ignore their stereotyping - or else turn up to saomething in a pink dress and heels to show them once and for all you ARE NOT A STEREOTYPE
+ if i cant be a good example ill just have to be a horrible warning +
**you must be the change you wish to see in the world**
i tottally told you about that stereotypish sorta well you know what i mean, i like to think i had some part in your journaly thinking process...wow, i am so sorry for my inability to make any sense right now...and good luck with everything, i feel your pain!
eh, what're ya gonna do...

A Potter's Passion
Thirty years ago, a skiing accident forced Joan Platt to seek ways to exercise a broken shoulder. Little did she know that this misfortune would result in an artistic career.
By Bethany Lyttle
Joan at her Studio
"I never intended to become a potter," reflects Joan Platt, a former teacher, who, at age 71, produces exquisite, world-class ceramic tableware at her studio in Palisades, N.Y. "But about 30 years ago, I broke my shoulder and as a way of encouraging me to use rotary motion, a physician suggested I wash dishes as a form of physical therapy. At the time, my husband and I were raising three small children in New York City, and, frankly, I felt like all I did was wash dishes," she says. So, Joan registered for a ceramics class instead.
Susie Cushner
Plates on Display
"I took to the process almost immediately," she recalls. In support of Joan's newfound passion, friend and artist Grace Knowlton offered her the use of a studio. "At first, I just played at making objects, but eventually, I developed my own designs."
Susie Cushner
Joan's Work
Today, nearly 25 years later, Joan works five days a week at this very studio. And although she introduces a new piece from time to time, the much-sought-after tableware retains many of its original features. Distinguished by a reverence for simple forms and glazed in hues that enhance, rather than compete with, food, Joan Platt's pottery is as unexpected and beautiful as the path that led to its creation.
Susie Cushner
Joan's Studio
Since 1983, Joan has worked in this studio, previously a farm's machine-repair shop.

Shaping a Mug
Some pieces, such as mugs, are thrown on the wheel.

Hand-Rolling Clay
Bowls and plates are pressed onto molds, or in the case of the tiny dishes, onto shells.
Susie Cushner
Light-Filled Studio
Floor-to-ceiling windows welcome light and wooded views.
Susie Cushner
Pottery Tools
Wooden rolling pins are used to thin the stoneware clay before draping it over a mold. This makes it possible for Joan to create finer, lighter wares. Tools such as a wooden crimper, diamond-head roller, and seedpod press are sometimes used for hand-built pieces.

"Ceramics is a process, and I love that each step is separated by streches of time."

Using Shells
Joan molds this tiny plate by pressing the clay into a shell.

Fish Platters
Two fish platters, one glazed in lustrous black and one in pearly sand, convey an air of serenity. Each piece deliberately retains evidence of Joan's hands. During firing, the clay changes color, showing through the glaze on these delicate shell dishes.

Sigh: Ghastly funeral theatre
19/07/12 || Sokaris
An EP in extreme metal can be many different things. It can be a collection of rarities and miscellaneous recordings. It can be a preview to an upcoming release. It can be a misguided cash grab between more important releases. In the best of cases this shortened release format can provide the listener with a full album experience in a short amount of time and an EP can stand alone and come just as recommended as a band's full length output. "Ghastly funeral theatre" fortunately falls into this category and if the term "mini-album" is ever to be used, this is the case. Comprised of three songs and three instrumentals (though with Sigh it should be emphasized that their sonic detours are just as important as their "regular" material) focused squarely on evoking a bizarre atmosphere of Japanese ritualistic occultism. Bolstering an experimental sense of fearlessness, the music featured here still retains the basic recipe of slightly blackened metal but is unafraid to incorporate whatever else Mirai felt compelled to include. Despite it's short run time, "Ghastly funeral theatre" is a mighty contribution to the Sigh legacy.
9. While "Infidel art" was a sort of biggering and bettering of the band's debut, this time around I think we're looking at more of a step to the side than an obvious forward progression. The EP's most defining trait lies in the band's willingness to throw caution to the wind and seamlessly incorporate non-metal influences and unconventional approaches, a method underlined by a slightly less layered approach than the album previous. Basically there aren't as many melodies going on simultaneously but the well that they're drawn from is of a much deeper variety.
8. Dark and raw, not that different than the overall approach with "Scorn defeat" but with more clarity. There's a lot of separation in the instruments which allows the keyboard flourishes and melodic guitar parts room in the mix. The snare is maybe a little loud and the guitars could use some thickening but overall the knob-twiddling involved in the album's recording landed Sigh with an appropriate sound.
8. Slightly sharper, clearer tone this time around. With a smaller keyboard presence Shinichi is allowed to shine a little bit more. There seems to be a large amount of acoustic guitar, featured to great effect in the beginning of "Doman seman" and in "Shingontachikawa"'s melodic bridge. The latter part leads into a hell of a sultry solo where the essence of Tony Iommi is channeled. The soloing is gorgeous and a lot of the riffs are vintage first wave goodness. Hard to object to either of these things.
8. The vocals continue to improve little by little- and they were never weak to begin with. The semi-narrative rasp is still the center of Mirai's approach, along with better (though still somewhat amateurish) clean melodic touches and even a short section of low growling in the album's first proper song "Shingontachikawa".
6. The less bombastic approach with the keyboards this time around allows the bass to have more presence and stands out underneath Shinichi's crisp guitar lines, especially with headphones. It doesn't necessarily draw attention to itself but the bass acts as the album's sonic glue.
5. Satoshi is able to, much like his bandmate Shinichi, channel his instrument's respective Black Sabbath member. When he gets going he's got a Bill Ward vibe that I really dig. I wish he got going more though. It doesn't help that on the occasions he ventures across the toms we don't get to hear them that well.
9. There's more variety in the approach and less of a focus on scale. MIDI flute and sax solos and experimental noise/samples sit alongside the more expected piano and string patch usage. It all works well and marks an improvement in quality. Still ambitious, but this time the band's drive seemed to be to build a more specific atmosphere, one that was wholly theirs. This mini album is sort of encased in piano instrumentals, all worth hearing and enriching the overall experience. Most notably "Imiuta", which pulls off an intriguing transition into its synth-phonic conclusion.
8. Weird ceremonies, skulls, morbid intentions and proper nouns I can barely pronounce. Exotic and dark, it fits like a glove.
Cover art
9. Similar tone to "Infidel art" but the darkness to the image is much more readily apparent and an occult edge is added. The cover is absolutely perfect for the music, dark, mysterious and with a readily apparent Eastern flavor. I also like the minimalism in the color palette, it gives a distinctly black metal feel to the image. The Crypt's vinyl version features a new scan of the original art with less cropping and much more detail. The logo is removed and some text on the original piece is kept in place instead of being blacked out.
8. Solid red, it's complimented well by the identically hued kanji running down the left side.
8. Basic but no real flaws. White on black lyrics on the inside and a decent live performance band photo on the outside. Bonus point for managing to get the drummer in the shot. It is a little annoying that the enclosed Cacophonous Records catalogue is literally three times larger than the booklet of this CD. The vinyl features the album's art in ludicrously huge poster size, an OBI strip and an insert with tons of liner notes from band mastermind Mirai Kawashima, as well as an interesting explanation of the ritual caught in progress on the cover. The back of the record sleeves sports, alongside the expected fare, a scan of the "Tragedies" demo's J-card, a recording that served as the reissue's bonus tracks.
Overall and ending rant
1997 was a landmark year for Sigh, and "Ghastly funeral theatre" served as a bridge from their blackened roots into the incorporation of varied influences from other genres of metal and beyond. Despite its brevity, this EP serves as a gateway into a unique world of Japanese occult rituals, an eclectic sense of instrumentation and most importantly enjoyable songwriting.

Soup on Sunday: Curried Sweet Potato, Lentil and Coconut
by allthebest • 7 Oct '12 • soup • 7 Comments
Fall is upon us, and this seems like the perfect easy, autumnal Sunday soup. My husband, who happens to be a great cook, found the basis of this recipe online while sitting in Starbucks. Like most recipes, he tweaks and adds his own touches (always improving the original). In this case it's substituting sweet potatoes (rather than squash) and adding garlic, shallot and ginger (which were missing in the original). It now sounds perfect to me, enjoy.
2 tbsp olive oil
3 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small pieces
1 shallot, diced
1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
3 carrots, peeled and diced
1 tbsp curry powder (with turmeric)
1 cup red lentils
4 cups of vegetable stock
1 can reduced-fat coconut milk
salt to taste
cilantro, to garnish
naan bread
Preheat oven to 425. Toss sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp of olive oil and roast for 15-20 minutes (until edges being to brown). Set aside. Heat another tbsp of oil in a large stockpot, add shallot, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 2 min, add carrots, sauté for another 2 min, then stir in the sweet potatoes and curry powder and cook for 1 min more.
Add in the lentils, the vegetable stock and coconut milk, stir. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 15-18 mins until everything is tender.
Using a hand blender or food processor, puree until smooth. Season and serve with roughly chopped cilantro and naan bread.

I had a toolbox on my Dodge, but I think a toolbox will look weird on my Tacoma because the bed is so short. I know I want a tri-fold and I've been looking around these forums and have seen a lot about the Extang Tri-fold. Has anyone had any experiences with the Lund Genesis Tri-fold? Looks basically the same as the Extang but about 200 bucks cheaper. Any info or pictures of either one of these on a Tacoma?

I was one of the first to get this add-on board. It was very easy to install, and has worked great ever since. With this add-on board the transmitter gets powered from the usb when it is plugged in. I have figured out that to use the transmitter in a simulator, I simple remove the battery(keeps you from having to charge it again later). Plug in the usb cable and then the simulator cable. You will also want to turn off the alarms unless you like the constant beeping. This way I can use my transmitter in the sim all night and not run out of battery.
A note on the cost of the transmitter: Transmitter $55 8-channel receiver $10 S-mack programmer add-on $50 (includes shipping) Hobby king shipping $40 Dx8 Specktrum 8-channel transmitter $429 (free shipping) So you can get the 9x with s-macks board and 25 extra receivers for the same price as a dx8. And with the Dx8 you don't get all the features that the 9x gets with the er9x firmware anyway. There is now a special setup for a range check. Any other radio you either need a partner to take the radio and move the sticks as they go away. With the 9x you can program the outputs to move by themselves. Then you take the model and start walking. Simply a radio with features you can't find anywhere else. |

I didnt' really think of that added benefit... USB powering the radio (without battery). Come to think of it, now I wonder if a USB-mode could be programmed in to the firmware to auto-shut down the alarm?!? Since the USB gives a pretty stable narrow band of voltage, it could just be that the alarm shuts off if the voltage is within that band. Afterall, nobody would actually fly with that low power.
Hmm... |

I've had two reports of shipping damage out of the 22 prototypes shipped out so far. One was minor and probably more my fault (cap vibrated loose... indicative more of a poor or missed solder). The other was more serious as two of the pogo pins were smashed to hell by an angry postal worker with a vicious rubber stamp.
As I mentioned before, I was deliberately shipping these in simple bubble envelopes because it greatly reduces both the packaging and postage costs. Now I seek your input. Option 1: Keep doing it this way and deem casualties "acceptable losses". If 1 out of 22 is the extent of it, then maybe its not a bad way to go. I'll take responsibility but its an inconvenience to the customer. Option 2: "Standard" sized box. Eliminates the problem and doesn't cost me too much more (so price stays the same) but shipping goes from a < $8 to ~ $15. Option 3: Custom box. Eliminates the problem and keeps shipping costs low, but now packaging costs are significant and I have to bump the price of the product up by $3. If you were me... ??? - Steven |

Yes like this. You only need some Styrofoam of some kind that is a few mm thick. This would prevent damage in all but the worst circumstances (that angry postal worker that decides running it over if FUN!) You could then use the same packaging that you already do.

St George's Lake
St George's Lake is one of Creswick's most picturesque natural assets and the one major "Must See" which I'd recommend to visitors.
In Winter/Spring there is a small waterfall at the northern end.
There is a 2 km circumference walk at Lake level which takes you through several different types of terrain and surroundings; from natural eucalypt forest, to deciduous forest with board walk leading over small frog swamp and out into the shallows of the lake, across small wooden bridges, to a pine forest area, and back to the main picnic area where there are free electric BBQ's and picnic tables, and a small 'beach' for summer swimming.
You'll see ducks, black swans and other wild water birds, and many different types of small birds during the walk (including often yellow robins, parrots, small finches and wrens).
Alternatively, you may wish to take the upper gravel car road to walk around the lake, which is less scenic but you'll have the chance to see an old gold mining cave/tunnel near the northern end of the lake. (Take a torch, as it goes back quite a long way, ending with a long vertical shaft -- upwards, that is, so no fear you'll fall down any large hole. It's quite stable. I've showed it to a few people, including a German tourist, who really raved about this simple, empty mine...maybe Europeans don't get to see abandoned gold mines like we can, easily.)- Hiking and Walking

Historic Creswick Walking Tour
By world standards of course, all of Australia's towns are very young, but when judged by Australian standards, we do have many historic towns which are still interesting - just in a different way to other countries.
Creswick is a historic gold town in its own right. The district was settled in a small way as a sheep run in 1839.
The gold boom was slower to happen here than in other towns - by 1853 it was only a tent town with a dozen shops and about 100 tent, but by early 1855 the town's population had peaked at 25,000 - 30,000 people.
The first surveying of the town into streets was in August 1854.
Taking yourself on a self guided walk of the town will reveal several fairly impressive buildings that you probably wouldn't notice if you just drove through (as many people do).
The following buildings are among my favourites and in the best kept condition.- Historical Travel

Old gold bank
On the town walk, another important building in the town was the old gold bank. The huge internal vault has been removed now, and the building has had several changes of life in recent years, from coffee shop to B & B and soon will become something different again.
It has been restored to much of its former glory, and the upstairs B & B rooms are just superb.- Historical Travel
