First boat advice solicited/mid-Chesapeake

Rep Power:
The depth restriction you face is fairly common here on the Chesapeake. In part, you need to consider how big of a boat you want. These days, people start with boats 30-40 feet quite often, so don't be afraid of getting in over your head. You already are looking at some boats with center-boards, and that is a definite way to go. Also look for boats with winged keels. I've owned 2 Pearsons with wings and think they are great on the Chesapeake.
Frankly, a boat to look at is what I currently sail -- a Pearson 33-2 (meaning the 1986-1991 models.) The earlier models have keel/centerboards that draw under 4 feet. The later models come with a wing keel that draws 4'2". I sail out of the Patapsco and do a lot of gunkholing, so shoal draft is important to me. And yes, I run aground at least a couple of times a year and have always gotten the boat off the bottom by myself, usually in very short order.
Other boats to look at that come with K/CB's are Ericsons and Sabres. Lots of coices out there to fit your needs.
Sailing winged keels since 1989.

PPCC Connects Local Manufacturers with Future Workforce

in PPCC News
Colorado Springs, Colo. – June 6, 2013 – Fran Hetrick is appointed dean of the Communication, Humanities and Technical Studies (CHTS) Division for Pikes Peak Community College (PPCC) and Sue Moore Fenske is hired as executive director of the PPCC Foundation, the fundraising arm of the college.
Hetrick will create vision and provide leadership to the CHTS Division while working collaboratively with all PPCC's instructional divisions to ensure students and faculty are successful, academic programs are effective and the needs of the community are being served in the best way possible.
Hetrick is currently the associate dean for transfer studies at PPCC and has 27 years of extensive experience in higher education. Her diverse roles have included dean of students, director of education, director of admissions and new student relations, research associate, grant administrator and instructor.
"She brings rich experience, wisdom, and thoughtfulness to the division and the institution. Moreover, she is a faculty and staff advocate and supporter. Her experience in academia as well as student affairs makes her an exceptional fit for our vision and mission," said Cindy Buckley, vice president of instructional services for PPCC.
Hetrick has a doctorate in higher education administration from the University of Arkansas, a master's in organizational communication from the University of Northern Colorado, a bachelor's in education from the University of Arkansas, and an associate's in liberal arts from Cottey College.
She is chair-elect for the Colorado Community College System Dean's Council and serves the National Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education Association as a program consultant.
As the new executive director of the PPCC Foundation, Fenske will build community partnerships, establish new programs and develop external funding sources.
"Sue has great experience working with organizations in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors," said PPCC President Lance Bolton. "I am confident she will bring a breadth of knowledge to the PPCC Foundation which will grow our ability to help more students succeed."
During her career, Fenske has contributed to the success of organizations in higher education, health care, engineering, entertainment, banking and social services by applying skills in business development and communication, public and government relations, organizational assessment and restructuring, and change management. She has assisted a number of colleges and universities in achieving targeted fundraising outcomes by successfully aligning key organizational objectives with the philanthropic goals of donors.
Most recently Fenske served as the executive director for Heartland CARES, Inc., in Paducah, Ky. There she increased revenue from private sources, aligned external relations with branding strategies and acted as liaison to regional, statewide and national organizations. Prior to her time at Heartland CARES, she served as director of development with the Keck Graduate Institute, Murray State University and California State University.
An alumna of Stephens College and University of Louisville, Fenske holds a master's degree in Business Administration and bachelors' degrees in Engineering Science and Communications. A native of Kansas City, Mo., she and her husband Thomas have two sons.
Pikes Peak Community College, in its 45th year of operation, is a two-year college offering associate's degrees and various certifications in career and technical fields. With four campuses, two military education centers in El Paso county and nearly 200 programs of study, PPCC serves approximately 22,000 students annually.

Elan Announces Johnson & Johnson Release Of Discontinuation Of Phase 3 Development Of Bapineuzumab Intravenous (IV) In Mild To Moderate Alzheimer's Disease
Elan Corporation, plc (NYSE:ELN) announced today that Johnson & Johnson has issued a press release regarding the discontinuation of Phase 3 development of bapineuzumab IV in mild to moderate Alzheimer's. The press release can be accessed on http://www.janimm.com/news/press or http://www.jnj.com/connect/news/. Additionally, Pfizer Inc. has provided an announcement to the marketplace on the top line results of Phase 3 Study 301. The press release can be accessed on http://www.pfizer.com/news/press_releases/pfizer_press_releases.jsp.
"We are tremendously disappointed for patients and their caregivers who are suffering from Alzheimer's and our employees who have dedicated many years to advancing this technology with the goal of creating a meaningful therapy to combat this challenging disease," said Kelly Martin, CEO of Elan Corporation, plc. He commented further that, "from a shareholder perspective, we will continue to focus on revenue growth with the advancement of Tysabri, rigorous cost and timeline alignment and – as we have done consistently over the years - a strengthening of our balance sheet and capital structure to provide a unique growth and value investment thesis to the marketplace while continuously reducing overall financial risk."
Specific details surrounding the anticipated reduction of Janssen AI's future funding requirements will be determined after discussions with our equity co-investor, Johnson & Johnson and after the complete data set from Study 301 and 302 has been presented at the 16 th Congress of the European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS) on September 11, 2012, the American Neurological Association (ANA) Annual Meeting on October 8, 2012 and the 5 th Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease (CTAD) on October 29, 2012. In addition to the data from Study 301 and 302, outcomes from the on-going vaccine and bapineuzumab SQ trials are important and will be instructive for a comprehensive evaluation of the immunotherapeutic approach to Alzheimer's.
Given the discontinuation of the bapinezumab IV clinical development work in mild to moderate Alzheimer's patients, we anticipate there to be a significant reduction in spending through the end of next year. In addition, Elan will record a non-cash impairment charge of $117.3 million on our equity method investment in Janssen AI in the third quarter of 2012, representing the full carrying value of Elan's 49.9% proportionate share of the Janssen AI AIP assets.

Advanced Photonix Announces Record Monthly Shipments In December
Advanced Photonix® (NYSE MKT: API), the leading supplier of terahertz systems, announced today that it has built and shipped a record number terahertz systems in December 2012. Of the four systems shipped, two of the systems were part of a three system order previously announced for the Japanese market. The other two systems were part of the Appleton Paper strategic alliance, also announced earlier.
On August 1, 2012, Advanced Photonix® announced the sale of three T-Gauge® systems to the Company's Japanese distributor for deployment on a manufacturing line providing 100% inspection and quality control of packaged products. This is the first industrial deployment of terahertz in Japan. The T-Gauge® systems will inspect individual packages for contaminates or anomalies in a powder. This high-speed application was jointly developed by API and our distributor. The system will scan each individual package in five seconds using both imaging and waveform analysis to determine product quality.
On September 5, 2012, Advanced Photonix® announced a strategic alliance and the sale of two systems to Appleton Paper, a specialty coating developer and manufacturer of thermal, carbonless, security and specialty papers. Appleton will utilize terahertz energy to perform various critical measurements in order to provide inspection and quality control of current and newly developed coated products. The ability of terahertz energy to penetrate non-conducting materials allows for the inspection of solid and liquid products that have already been packaged. The wide frequency content and high precision of the T-Gauge® system provides sensitivity to both physical and chemical changes. Measurement of thickness, density, and certain material properties can be used to monitor the quality of the manufactured product.
"I would like to congratulate the Terahertz manufacturing team for building and shipping a record four systems in a single month," commented Richard Kurtz, Chief Executive Officer of Advanced Photonix. "This milestone achievement is indicative of our team's ability to accommodate growth expectations. As our work on the F-35 program is expected to conclude in the coming quarters, we will continue our transition from contract revenues to product revenues. We will always explore government contract work opportunistically, but believe it will become a smaller portion of our Terahertz revenue as our commercial business increases."

OnPoint: Sunlight Resistance, in reply to
Comments on Fran's article appear to be ravingly in support.
I wonder how many they rejected. -
re: OIA:
I heard talk last year that the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment was getting help from some sections of the media in writing OIA's - because the Ministry for the Environment was refusing to give her office information requested. By law, they are required to give it to her, but she has had to resort to OIA's. Not sure how well that's going either. -
I was taken by a piece in the Herald by Rhonwyn Newson who picked up on Simon Lusk's quote in Nicky Hager's book: that a negative campaign nearly always favours the right. Then there's the issue of studies on cognitive dissonance (where "facts" often don't convince people to change their minds). Both are salient points worth taking into account when looking at the impact (or lack thereof) of the details of Dirty Politics on the elections.
And when Key kept going on about the "international influence" on New Zealand elections, where was the media asking him about his reliance on an international firm, Crosby Textor, on his own campaign?
I'm happy to hear that Fisher and Nippert are both continuing on the case - now that the elections are over, it's time to get back to the real detail of dirty politics.
Undercover cop Rob Gilchrist on how Hager discovered him and how Hager always gets it right:
"You see, Mr Hager is very good at what he does. He is not just a journalist who working to a deadline just makes stuff up to add to the word count. He researches the hell out of the subjects in his articles and books. He talks to the right people, asks the right questions and goes over every little detail he has available to him with a nit comb."
Now there's a word.
but nothing like that would happen until after September 20; the public deserves to know the truth before then.
Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to
If I'm not much mistaken, it was collected right before Dirty Politics came out. All the same, is Dirty Politics truly a game breaker, or just preaching to the choir? Even if it's the latter, it might just motivate undecided Left voters into becoming not so undecided Left voters.
Yup, before the book. However, I fear there is some truth in this quote by Simon Lusk (in the book, and repeated by Gordon Campbell):
"There are a few basic propositions with negative campaigning that are worth knowing about. It lowers turnout, favours right more than left as the right continues to turn out, and drives away the independents.' In short, many people stop participating in politics. If politicians cannot be trusted, if politics looks like a petty or ugly game, and if no one seems to be talking about the things that matter, then what's the point of bothering to participate? Just leave them to it.
Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to
No mention of the prisoner transfer stuff on Stuff or the NZ Herald, do we think Collins has had the lawyers out already?
Morning Report talked about it and said they've sent an OIA to Corrections, who will respond within 20 working days, (unless Slater gets it first).
Mr Ede left Mr Key's office this year and is now working at National Party headquarters on its re-election campaign.
Yep, but this is normal in election campaigns where staff go over to work for the Party rather than being paid by Min. Services. Leave of absence, etc. Given his black ops rep, it's only natural that Ede would make that move this year.
Key's getting himself into a bit of a pickle over those comments, which may well come back to haunt him.
Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to
February 2014: Key interviewed in a standup about GCSB, SIS, etc. Starts off talking about how he was called by a "member of the public" who turns out to be Slater.
Later in the interview (click top left), Key admitted to calling Slater. During the interview it becomes clear they talk often.
Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to
"Slater deniers claims"
gosh, really? Utterly surprising. On Radio Live, Collins accuses Hager of "using stolen emails for financial gain." More shrugging off. Admits very good friends with Slater.

Graduate Course on Standard Model & Quantum Field Theory
Some of the speculations on new physics, beyond what is in the standard model are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to ideas that try to address the hierarchy puzzle, i.e., why is the weak scale so much smaller than the Planck scale. These new theories will be tested at the large hadron collider in the near future.
Graduate Course on Standard Model & Quantum Field Theory
Error assumptions for fault tolerance re-examined (Other error models, correlated errors, leakage errors, coherent and non-Markovian errors)
Circuit assumptions for fault tolerance re-examined (other universal gate sets, local gates, fresh ancillas, no measurements, parallelism)
We discuss D-brane instantons in four-dimensional string compactifications with special emphasis on Eucliden D2-branes in Type IIA orientifolds with spacetime filling D6-branes. These can induce superpotential couplings among the open string fields which are forbidden at the perturbative level since they violate some of the global U(1) symmetries generically present in string theory.
We consider a six-dimensional space-time, in which two of the dimensions are compactified by a flux. Matter can be localized on a codimension one brane coupled to the bulk gauge field and wrapped around an axis of symmetry of the internal space. By studying the linear perturbations around this background, we show that the gravitational interaction between sources on the brane is described by Einstein 4d gravity at large distances.

I'm not kidding. At the top of the hour intro to Morning Edition they told listeners that the United States paid off its debt in 1835 and was debt free. It then added "too bad it only lasted for a year."
Most economists and analysts would evaluate the well-being of an economy and society by its per capita income, life expectancy, literacy rates and other such measures. NPR apparently uses the debt level of its government.
Dana Milbank has apparently been assigned to the fashion beat at the Washington Post. His column on a rally at which the Progressive Caucus outlined their budget proposal, noted that caucus Chairman Raul Grijalva was, "wearing a tie that hung loose from his neck and ended five inches above his waistband." He went on to tell readers that he was unimpressed with the group's platform encouraging readers to speculate what would happen "if progressives ran the world."
Let's see, I suppose that we could have ten years of zero job growth, 25 million people unemployed, underemployed or out of the workforce altogether, declining real wages, millions of homeowners losing their homes, and tens of millions of homeowners underwater.
In its article covering President Obama's speech on the budget yesterday the Washington Post told readers that:
"Obama acknowledged that the debt must be tackled faster than he has previously proposed."
It is only possible to "acknowledge" something which is true. The Post obviously believes it is true that "the debt must be tackled faster than he has previously proposed," but that does not make it so. This is the Post's opinion. A real newspaper would have reported that President Obama "said that the debt must be tackled faster than he has previously proposed." It would not have implied that its view of the world is the unquestioned reality, especially in a front page news story.
Remarkably, the coverage of the President's speech in both the Post and the NYT included no mention of the recession. The main reason that the deficit has soared in the last three years is because of the economic collapse that followed the crash of the housing bubble.
If the deficit is reduced substantially before the economy has gotten back to near full employment levels of output the main effect will be to slow growth and throw more people out of work. This fact was never mentioned in either piece even though President Obama proposes to have his deficit reduction targets to become binding in fiscal year 2014, a point at which the unemployment rate is still projected to be 7.2 percent. By contrast, the first stimulus package was put into law under President George W. Bush when the unemployment rate was just 4.7 percent.
Both articles made reference to the deficit reduction plan from the President's deficit commission. This is wrong. There was no plan from the commission. The co-chairs of the commission, Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, never put their plan up for a vote because they knew they lacked the majority needed for passage. The plan referred to in these articles is only the proposal of the two co-chairs. It is not the plan of the commission.
This should be a simple point for a major newspaper to get right.
The NYT discussed the agenda of an upcoming meeting of G-20 finance ministers. It focused on efforts to pressure China to raise the value of its currency.
This discussion implied that the United States must depend on its ability to pressure China to change its currency policy. In fact, the United States does not have to rely on China changing its policy, it can force a change with unilateral action.
Specifically, just as China sets an official exchange rate of the yuan against the dollar that is below the market value of the yuan, the U.S. could set an exchange rate of the dollar against the yuan that is equal to the market value of the yuan.
This could mean, for example that the Treasury Department would announce a policy whereby it would buy yuan at the rate of 4 yuan for a dollar. This compares to the rate of 6.7 yuan to a dollar supported by China's government. While it would be illegal under China's laws for its nationals to take advantage of this exchange rate, it is likely that many businesses and wealthy individuals would find ways to evade the law. This would make the exchange rate set by the Treasury the effective exchange rate in the market.
It is a policy decision by the Obama administration not to take this route. This should have been pointed out by the article. Obviously the Obama administration has chosen to not really push aggressively to raise the value of China's currency.
China's government knows that the U.S. can take these steps and has chosen not to, therefore it may infer that the push to raise the value of its currency is not really a priority and is instead being done for political purposes. This NYT article supports the Obama administration's efforts to mislead the public on this topic.
This is the only thing that readers can infer from his reference to President Obama's "refusal to propose a viable solution" to the debt problem. In fact, the Congressional Budget Office projects that the health care bill approved by Congress last year will trim tens of trillions of dollars off the long-term deficit. One can only conclude that Milbank wasn't aware of the bill in making this accusation.
The WSJ had a nice piece showing that United States pays far more per person for health care than other wealthy countries, even though they all enjoy longer life expectancies than we do. After presenting the data, the article then tells readers:
"Among the things that do matter [for controlling costs]: Consumers need to have some skin in the game, through mechanisms such as co-payments."
Actually, in most, if not all, of the countries in the WSJ chart, patients typically have lower co-payments/cost-sharing than is the norm in the United States. This would not seem to be an essential part of controlling costs.
I'm not kidding. The rest of the article actually is reasonable, but we get this from a person on the street interview:
"'We have an au pair from France, and she recently filled up our minivan and gave me a bill for $70,' said Melanie Janin, a mother of three from Bethesda. 'I was like, Oh, my God.' "
It sure looks that way since it presents the removal of a provision in the health care bill pushed by Senator Wyden as a victory for special interests. This removal was part of the final budget deal.
The provision would have allowed healthy workers to opt out of their company's insurance plans, leaving only older and sicker workers. This is an effective way to undermine employer provided benefits, which was presumably Senator Wyden's intention in pushing this proposal.
While the NYT gave extensive space to Senator Wyden complain about the removal of his provision as a victory for special interests, and gratuitously added the irrelevant information that the provision cost the government nothing, it did not interview anyone who opposed the provision for the article.
The Washington Post had a piece on the reaction of financial markets to the debate over the budget. It included a comment from William Gross, the manager of the Pimco bond fund, complaining that if the United States did not reform entitlements then a default is inevitable. He then said that the default would take place through "inflation, currency devaluation and low-to-negative real interest rates."
This sort of "default" probably does not sound too bad to the overwhelming majority of the public who do not hold large amounts of government debt. More importantly, the devaluation of the currency is essential if the United States is to stop being a huge net borrower from other countries.
Changes in the currency value are the main mechanism for adjusting trade balances in a system of floating exchange rates. If the dollar is over-valued by 20 percent then this has roughly the same effect as subsidizing our imports by 20 percent and placing a tariff of 20 percent on all our exports. The over-valued dollar has far more impact on our trade balance than all of our trade deals put together.
If the value of the dollar does not fall substantially, then the United States will continue to run large trade deficits. This logically implies that we will have negative domestic savings (i.e. it is an accounting identity, there is no way around it). Low private savings means either large budget deficits or very low private savings or some combination.
In other words, if Mr. Gross does not want the dollar to fall, then he either wants to see large budget deficits and/or very low private savings. Or alternatively, he doesn't understand basic economics.

Market Insight
From NZX Market Insight May 2007
By Mark Weldon, NZX Chief Executive
We welcomed Xero to the NZSX Market yesterday, this year's NZX Listed tech sector pioneer, listing at an 11% premium.
Xero's ambition is to create and grow a niche in the SME area by providing an essential product (accounting software) but delivery is smarter, faster and clearer under the software-as-a-service model. This is a new delivery model where companies use rather than own the software.
Xero hopes to show, as have Rakon, Pumpkin Patch and others, that we can compete in today's global environment. We can build globally sized companies right here, from a home-base, serving the world. With the right technology used in the right way, size and geographical location is irrelevant.
As understanding of the New Zealand technology sector (and subsectors within) grows, the companies within this sector will gain the attention and profile they deserve.
Following this, more companies will come to market to raise capital to pursue the opportunities that are available to them now, as they see evidence that the investment community will embrace and support high growth technology companies.
Mark Weldon
Technology and the Markets
By Rod Drury, Xero Chief Executive
It doesn't seem long ago that Xero co-founder Hamish Edwards and I set being listed on the main board of the NZX as a goal for the business that we were in the midst of planning.
Now, a year or so later, it's very exciting being able to write this from the perspective of being part of a listed company.
Xero was able to grow from a small start up software company to an NZX-listed company within a year, which is significant, not just for Xero, but also because it marks a maturing of the New Zealand technology industry.
For global technology companies, like the kind we are aiming to be, the corporate structure that comes with being a listed company goes hand in hand with technology development. Being listed becomes a core part of the business strategy.
Internationally, the software industry is in the midst of a technology revolution, where it is compelling for software developers and consumers to access applications through the Internet.
This approach is called Software as a Service (SaaS). Under this model, where software is accessed via the web, many of the traditional constraints to rapidly growing a software company are eliminated.
We believe that being listed is a compelling success factor for SaaS companies such as Xero for the following reasons.
- Incumbent providers tend to acquire new entrants that gain significant market share – it is difficult to take on an incumbent when you're a private company.
- Customers wanting a SaaS solution need to have certainty in the vendor – they want to know the company is robust and in it for the long term. Selling internationally as a small private company from a "rock in the south pacific" makes for a very difficult sell.
- In the software industry, often the first company funded wins. It is difficult for followers to attract funding, and the first public company has the resources to acquire competing market participants following in its wake.
- Though it has potentially high rewards, SaaS requires more up front investment than traditional software. It needs to be more scalable and requires a broader set of operational capabilities to manage the scale. SaaS is normally charged for via recurring monthly fees, rather than an upfront licence, so the revenue ramp must also be funded.
- In a global market, you don't have the time to move sequentially. To capture global market leadership you need to be simultaneously executing on a number of fronts. This requires funding.
In the weightless world of software, it's not the big that eat the small – it's the fast that eat the slow.
Another important benefit of being listed on the NZX is that it gives Xero a better chance of staying New Zealand-owned in the long term. That is important to us.
For these reasons, being listed is a key part of Xero's strategy – and from day one at Xero we have worked towards our listing.
Xero is new for the New Zealand Stock Exchange. Our listing is seen as an important milestone for our local technology industry. We take that responsibility seriously.

Photos of 2010 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show After Party at Lavo
Brazilians Still Going Strong at Victoria's Secret Fashion Show; Plus, After Party Images
>> Victoria's Secret models are all over fashion editorials and campaigns these days — Models.com suspects Candice Swanepoel might be next to cross over — and no wonder, with 10 and Harper's Bazaar editor Sophia Neophitou as show stylist. As Neophitou told Style.com of casting the show: "It's such an editorial level . . . We looked at girls we love to shoot editorially; that's what great. I think there's a perception before you get here of what will work. But the reality is, it's about the girl, it's about the woman, what she brings as a human being to it, rather than has she got a size 34C cup. No, it's not about that at all. That's what they've got the miracle bras for."
Brazilians were heavily favored as usual this year, with Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Isabeli Fontana, Izabel Goulart, Flavia Oliveira, Lais Ribeiro, Fabiana Semprebom, Emanuela de Paula, Gracie Carvalho, and Martha Streck all representing; 10 Brazilians out of the 33 total models. Check them out, plus Jessica Stam, Lily Donaldson, and more — at the show's after-party at Lavo last night.

How does this work exactly? For a 3 gallon batch for example, would it still be fine to force carb, just require a little more co2?
Just be sure to let the oxygen out by hooking up the CO2 at a low pressure and opening the relief valve a few times. Other than that the CO2 will fill the empty volume in the same what that it does when the keg is emptying.
I often keg 3-4 gallons of a batch and bottle the rest. Like cfonnes mentioned, just purge the air (O2) out of the keg and you should be fine.
Mick Arnett North Liberty, Iowa "Beer will change the world. I don't know how, but it will."
It will use less CO2 to carb 3 gals of beer than 5 gals. Same amount to dispense. Have fun with the kegging!
purging is just pulling the release valve at the top while the gas is connected. basically you want to push out the air and leave the void filled with Co2 -=Jason=-

Bullfighting declared legal in France
France's Constitutional Council, a top legal authority, has rejected a plea from animal rights campaigners to ban bullfighting.
The campaigners wanted the fights categorised as cruelty to animals.
But the judges said the "traditional" fights, held in areas of southern France, "do not harm people's protected constitutional rights".
More than 1,000 bulls are killed annually in French bullfights, the AFP news agency reports.
Although bullfighting originated in neighbouring Spain, it took root in France a century and a half ago. Fights - known as corridas in Spain - are especially popular in the Nimes and Arles areas.
A ban on bullfighting came into force in Spain's Catalonia region this year, after lawmakers voted for it last year - the first such ban in the country's mainland.
The BBC's Christian Fraser in Paris says a recent opinion poll in France suggested 48% support for a ban, although earlier polls suggested as many as two-thirds of the French electorate would back a ban.
France's Interior Minister Manuel Valls, born in Barcelona, spoke in favour of bullfighting earlier this month.
Bullfights are banned in some parts of France. Animal rights groups are now considering taking the issue to the European Court of Human Rights, our correspondent reports.

One of the first things Brown did upon arriving at Ebenezer was transform the balcony into his broadcast center. He records each service on both video and audiotape. A coil of cables snaking down from the ceiling connects to a cockpit of tape decks, amplifiers, and a mixing board. A video camera remains frozen on the pulpit. Two teenage boys -- Edward Brookins and Jack Smith (Tim's grandson) -- man the controls. Throughout the 11:15 service they fiddle with the dials on the mixing board to maintain sound quality. Every 30 minutes one of them flips over the master audiotape. At one point this morning, Brookins drops an empty can of Sprite soda, causing a clank that sends both boys ducking below the bank of tape decks. After ten anxious breaths, their heads rise up as slowly as deer hunters stalking game.
The only other person who regularly sits in the balcony is Sonja Dellmar, a new member of the church. She arrives each week with her hair styled a different way. Some Sundays her hair cascades in long soft curls. Other weeks it is kinked, or maybe brushed back from her forehead in sweeping waves. This Sunday her hair is pulled back in a bun. "That's just the femininity in me," she says of her changing looks.
Sonja works as a photographer's assistant in Liberty City, a good job for a person who has been taking pictures her whole life. Every week she comes to church toting a Nikon camera and a substantial flash. She'll be sitting quietly up in the balcony when, suddenly, she will see something below that inspires her to race downstairs to start taking pictures. Baptisms, communions, a cute baby -- anything. A week later Sonja distributes the photos to her subjects, for free. "I just thought you'd like a picture of yourself," she'll say. "Send it to your mother. Send it to your girlfriend. You look too good in this picture for me to keep it for myself."
Eighty percent of the people who join a church do so because of family or friends, Reverend Brown says. (Only an estimated six percent do so because of the pastor.) Sonja first visited Ebenezer at the request of her daughter Courtney, a statuesque fifteen-year-old dancer who inherited her mother's zeal for creative hairstyling. Her godmother, who is a member of Ebenezer, encouraged the girl to share her dancing talent with Ebenezer's youth group.
Youthful members give Ebenezer vitality, Brown believes. He formed a "step" dance troupe where girls in combat boots stomp through dance routines with military precision. Following Brown's encouragement one rail-thin boy from the Redland began performing mime at a few services, wearing white gloves and white makeup as he silently interpreted prerecorded songs. In just one year, eight other kids decided to join him in forming a mime troupe. When Courtney began dancing during Ebenezer Sunday services, Sonja began showing up to watch.
Sonja doesn't call much attention to herself, sitting alone in the balcony as she usually does. Even when she's taking pictures, she tiptoes around her subjects, striving for invisibility despite her bulky camera and flash. Reverend Brown is at the pulpit preaching about the pain in the world. "Yes!" Sonja calls back to him suddenly, causing the sound crew to snap around in surprise. "Yes, there is!"
All her life Sonja was never closer to anyone than her father. He was, she says, a "real man." Arthur Dellmar moved down to Miami from Camilla, Georgia, to work as a carpenter. On the weekends he liked to fish or play dominoes. When he cooked up a dinner of candied yams and fried fish, the aroma drew neighbors eager to sample the most mouthwatering soul food they ever tasted. Sonja remembers when she was young how she would lay her head on his chest just to feel the soothing rise and fall of his breath.
Her father's health faded as he aged. Diabetes cost him one of his legs; then, in time, the other. When Sonja visited his nursing home, a trip she made almost every day, she would often joke with him, saying, "Daddy, Daddy, move over, move over! You've got to make room for me." As she recalls those visits her face softens. "I felt so close to him," she says
Arthur Dellmar died on the last day of April, 2001. He was 74 years old. His funeral was held at his home church, New Hope Missionary Baptist on NW 103rd Street. Sonja attended the funeral with camera in hand, asking everyone she saw to smile and pose for a picture. Friends recalled fishing trips they took with Cap, the nickname by which everyone called her father. Courtney danced in his honor, tears streaming down her face and onto her white lace dress.
At the end of the ceremony, the pallbearers closed the casket and wheeled it toward the waiting hearse. Sonja rose from her seat in the front row and placed her hand on the casket, walking beside it up a side aisle. "He was an outdoor person. He used to walk all the time," she called out to a friend. "Toward the end he couldn't walk no more, so now I'm going to walk beside my father one last time."

Roses for Camels and Goats on a Valentine's Day
By Sher Khan
My wife's computer mouse was behaving poorly as of late. So, as Valentine's Day approached, I came up with a brilliant idea! Along with a dozen roses, I bought a sleek and snazzy, technological multi-function mouse for her computer. I figured that in the age of modern technology, such a gift might please her. Not to mention that any gift at all on Valentine's Day from a husband, is always a meaningful and suggestive gesture.
Well, it didn't pan out as expected. My son giggled and my daughter wrinkled her nose and shook her head in disbelief, "A stinky mouse for Valentine's Day?" My wife was happy enough with the roses, but her eyes lost some of their sparkle when the wrapping paper came off the box housing the Blue-toothed patent-pending rodent.
Love and affection are often best communicated through symbols. A teddy bear with a flaming red heart can pack a far more powerful message than even expensive jewelry.
I had to wiggle out of that awkward situation and so I described how Islam perceives Valentine's Day. I asked: are we not lucky that we don't live in Saudi Arabia, the birthplace and cradle of Islam?
In Saudi Arabia, also known as Saudi Barbaria, Valentines' Day is not only banned from the calendar, its celebration is a serious felony. You neck is at stake, if the Muttawa, (the religious police in charge of enforcing the Prophet Mohammed's strict guidelines) catch you dealing red hearts! They even prohibited anything red on the Valentine's Day except for bloods from beheading and hand-chopping.
Although, many so-called moderate Muslims living in non-Muslim countries would superficially condemn such oppression, (but only as a survival measure for living among the non-Muslim "infidels"), they know that what Saudi Arabia is doing is perfectly in line with the Prophet Mohammed's teachings.
There is no place for Cupid in Islam because Mohammed himself treated women inhumanly. His cooked-up, Cartoon Network deity "Allah" clearly commanded Muslims in Q 4:34 to beat their wives. Yes, for a Muslim man, beating his wife, up to all four of them actually, is sanctioned by the god of Islam.
But it is not only in matters of corporal punishment that Mohammed considered women no higher than domestic beasts. Quoting from Mohammed's last sermon, the famous Muslim historian Tabari reports (IX:113):
"Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur'an."
If women are like domestic animals, well then – frankly now – what's the use of regaling a camel or a goat with a dozen roses? Why bother? They would only chew the roses, and even a teddy bear with a bright red heart would fare no better. No doubt, the Muttawas of Saudi Arabia are doing the right thing – Unless eaten, (thorns and all) Valentine roses would simply be wasted on women. Waste not want not!
Furthermore, the religious police of Saudi Barbaria are merely following the dictates and example of the prophet of Islam. All Muslims are obliged to imitate the prophet and not the kafirs (non-Muslims). According to the Ahadith, one is not a Muslim if one imitates non-Muslims.
The Quran, the heavenly book of Islam clearly states,
(Q 4.115) "If anyone contends with the Messenger even after guidance has been plainly conveyed to him, and follows a path other than that becoming to men of Faith, We shall leave him in the path he has chosen, and land him in Hell,- what an evil refuge!"
No wonder, Muslims wrap their women in extra large trash-can bags when instead the free women of the free world are free to wear whatever they freely please! Pious Muslims never touch razor blades preferring instead to grow thick bushes on their faces so they can set themselves apart from the clean-shaven infidels. Muslim men can marry a woman from the peoples of the book, and like their most Holy Prophet, are even allowed to keep a few concubines, but a Non-Muslim cannot marry a Muslim woman.
So, anyone who follows a path other than that of Mohammed's, will be marinated on Judgment Day and grilled in hellfire. No one, not even the most savage of cannibals in the darkest and deepest of jungles loves a good human Bar-B-Q as much as Allah!
There was no Valentine's Day in Mohammed's age, nor did he have the urge to treat women with love. Delivering a dozen roses to his two dozens wives, would have meant scouring endless miles of Saudi Arabian desert! And even if found and presented, his domestic-animal women would have only been allowed to chew them (thorns and all).
Considering all these facts, Saudi Police are definitely doing the right thing. They are saving the men from wasteful spending, protecting the environment and making sure that the Muslims are not imitating the non-Muslims, thereby saving them from eternal hell fire.
