I started this posting on this site after I went on to Rootswb looking at my non-Italian family and also searched under Castelnuovo di Conza. There was a post from a Gabriele Bagarozzo who lives in Castelnuovo di Conza. I sent out a message two weeks ago but have not had a reply. Gabriele's post was from 2005 so I don't think my message got through to Gabriele.
I have been doing a lot of research on the Cebello/Sibilia, etc. family in the US and New Jersey. The 6 children of Francesco and Katherine were baptized in Newark in two groups years after their birth. The first three were baptized as Cebello and the last 3 as Cibelli.
Findiing William Sibilia and his daughter Francesca at 179 8th ave is very important. That house would be right next door to 181. The even numbers, 180, would be on the other side of the street. I am going to see what I can find in the US about them. I checked Family Search and Lioni has films available which I will send for and see what I can find.I agree with you that finding the 1910 census and Francesco's entry into the US is important. I am also going to work on that.
If the first message shows up you will have two versions of my reply.
Thank you for your help. That manifest on William Sibilia and Francesca is a great find and helps a lot. I will get back to you.

Home ice was sweet for the Russians, as they claimed gold and silver in the Olympic pairs figure skating competition Wednesday in Sochi.
Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov took home gold while Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov won silver.
Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy of Germany won bronze.
The German pair were in second place after Tuesday's short program, but were passed in the free skate portion by Stolbova and Klimov.
Qing Pang and Jian Tong of China finished just outside of medal contention in fourth place.
After placing 12th and eighth with fellow Ukrainian skater Stanislav Morozov at the 2006 and 2010 Winter Olympics, Volosozhar teamed up with Trankov after Morozov's retirement. Together, they have claimed silvers at the World Championships in 2011 and 2012 and won gold in 2013.
Russia have long dominated Olympic pairs figure skating, claiming 12 straight gold medals since 1964 before being shut out in Vancouver in 2010.
The top American pair was Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir, who finished in ninth place after briefly sitting at the top of the standings halfway through Wednesday's free skate.
Fellow Americans Felicia Zhang and Nathan Bartholomay finished 12th.

Shirtless Sean, wilderness master and doer of all of the things is ready to find the Woman Who Can Do It All! At least, that's what it looks like because Bachelor star Sean Lowe apparently likes his women to be masters of all and a slave to none! So he takes his well-primped lasses of varying levels of outdoorsiness and brings them to Whitefish, Montana where they will have to climb, row, jump, run, and forage for his love. Ah, wilderness! What a natural choice. The girls are going to be roughin' it on their dates. So it's no surprise that everything about this episode — including Sean — was miserable. MISERABLE.
Lindsey gets the first date and the two spend much of the evening sitting around not doing much. They both keep mentioning how intense their "talk" was, but what about this conversation is intense? It doesn't totally matter because it's time for the entire town to come together and watch Sean and Lindsey date to tonight's most-mediocre country-ish singer du jour: Sarah Darling. Oh easily-palatable and generic love songs, how many times can you reinvent yourself? (The answer is infinity.) Tonight featured state names. Because your smile is like California even though your teeth are more like Connecticuts. But that's OK because you have the hair of Idaho and an ass like Texas! Your hips may be more Kentucky than Ohio but that's OK because you've got all the power where it counts: Florida! Oh wait, sorry, that's not at all the lyrics to the song. Something something whatever whatever. Sean's so happy that the girl he thought was "just a crazy girl in the wedding dress" happens to be less crazy than he anticipated. Lucky for Lindsey, she already knows that Sean is 1,000% the world's most perfect human. And also cute. True LOVE, you guys! Blossoming all around us. Isn't it so romantic to watch?
There's a group date and the infamous two-on-one date (where two women enter the thunderdome, but only one can leave....alive!) Selma, AshLee, Deisree, Catherine, Sarah, Lesley, Robyn and Daniella are heading out for a group date, leaving Tierrable Le Worst and Jackie McWhosyWhatsy for the two-on-one. Please note how excited Tierrable is for the two-on-one and how she thinks "we'll be fine," because we'll come back to that. Later.
RELATED: 'The Bachelor' Recap: Wheelin' and Dealin'
Because for now, it's time to talk group date! Also known as, the moment everything went to s**t. Not even Selma's belief that Sean is actually the human embodiment of Prince Charming will save this date. Because everyone's going to end up pissed off, in the end.
Also, can we have a moment for how hypocritical it is that guys want a woman who can do and is into everything? What the f**k is up with that? Even Mr. Nice Guy Sean is a victim to this hypocritical double standard when he brings these women out to the competition and explained that he likes it when girls can straddle ALL of the lines — including being a sexpot in heels and a mud-loving female lumberjack who moonlights as a farmhand slash nature enthusiast. Do women expect their men to like sports but also be into the theater while strutting down the street like a male model? I mean, last time I checked: NO. Why? Because everyone is different and everyone has different personalities. For the men on this show, they want an everywoman that just doesn't seem to exist. No wonder none of the dudes find love on this show. They all want some sort of bombshell that has all of the interests in all of the things. Society has led them to believe this is what every woman is, and they're upset when they can't find it. Phew, OK. Anyone else exhausted? Sorry about that.
Not that it's going to get any better, though, because the girls themselves all look f**king miserable. They'll be forced to run, kayak, and saw some wood before getting down on their knees to milk a cow and then drink it. OK, seriously? Now ABC's just f**king with is, right? Or maybe they're just personally f**king with me because somehow these gals are all gung-ho about chugging warm goat milk in the name of true love. Because nothing says "I want that lady to have my baby!" like a group competition that ends with these poor girls giving glorified handies to an animal for milk (and sport). Man, I'm really doing it wrong in my dating life.
The gals put on their flannel plaid shirts — just like Sean's!! LOL — to represent the red and blue teams they've been separated into. The losing team immediately goes home (of course). The girls talk hand job milking techniques. (Totally not the same!) And then comes the kayaking. Without even a bit of instruction (and a heck of a lot of squawking) they're off. And, surprise surprise, the girls crash into every single thing ever, because they're flailing about wildly instead of actually looking at what they're doing and thinking logically about how things work. And how to make things move. It's almost comical. They bale some hay and cut some wood. These broads are a regular bunch of Paul Bunyons. Desiree milks and swallows the goat's, um, milk, and the red team wins. Date time!
Only notsofast: Sean's glad to be with the red team and all, but he's upset that he had to send someone home. So he tasks Chris Harrison with the job of returning the rest of his harem to the bar they're drinking at: obviously, the red team is p-i-s-s-e-d. Which sort of makes sense: Sean bringing back the blue team totally negates all the work and humiliation they accomplished.
Lucky for everyone involved, Tierrable is here to ruin the day some more! Remember when Tierrable was oh-so excited about the two-on-one date? Well since it's been 5 minutes and she hasn't gotten any attention from Sean, she's pissed off, natch, and feels like she's being misled. So she decides its time to find Sean because it's been 4 minutes since he told her where "his head is at." She's confused! A lot can happen in four minutes — I mean, heck, Madonna and Justin Timberlake saved the entire world in that amount of time.
Anyway, in the most obviously and hackneyed manipulation grab yet, Tierrable oh-so-conveniently finds a BLACK version of the flannel shirt the girls were wearing at their group date, puts it on, and wears it to find Sean. And right when the producer says "are you anticipating any other surprises tonight?" Tierrable shows up, covers his eyes and says "Sean?" Hey ABC, slow your role on the tactics, man. We get that you're totally egging these folks on to be tierrable-style garbage monsters, but don't make it so theatrical or you'll lose your whole audience. This isn't The Real Housewives now. Have some decorum about it. Sheesh!
Anyway, Sean is surprised, of course. "What are you doing here?" He was shocked and happy to see her. Tierrable goes on and on, talking about how she thought they had something special and then she got a slap on the face by way of his two-on-one date invitation. YOU KNOW, the one she said she was EXCITED for earlier? Why, why, why does this girl constantly lie? I don't like to hate people, Tierrable, but you make it so f**king hard to like you. She came "all the way to Montana" and is apparently mad that she got the two-on-one. So, naturally, Sean does what any dumb but nice guy would do: try and quell her fears. He's playing right into this game of hers! I understand coincidence and general emotional states, but Tierrable really just feels to me like she's pulling every rabbit out of any hat she can find in order for this guy to keep her around, rather than just being herself. Her true colors flash before us when she explains that she feels like she got a head start on the two-on-one date. Obviously she did! She's trying to manipulate the situation to her advantage. She's like a ninja tennis player. They kiss. Confidence and crazy in spades, this one.
So now that everyone is butthurt about everything, the real fun gets to start. Like, for example: when Selma is angry she turns into a third-person-obsessed Hulk (you won't like Hulk when Hulk is angry!): Blood v. Crips, Sharks v. Jets, it's O-N now, y'all. Teams red vs. blue, all the way to the end. Way to bring the drama, Sean. For someone that hates drama, you sure did make a big dramatic power play with that one.
But let's get back to the delusional ones because that's always way more fun: AshLee believes that Sean only called the whole team back because he only wanted to talk to her. Man, being so confident in your own misinformation must be a wonderful thing, huh? So convenient, I bet. Whatever, though, guyz, because like, AshLee and her confused capitals have a "soul connection" with Sean that she can't put into words. (How many producers were high-fiving after she said all that, do you think? Do you imagine they were in the control room going "yes!" and fist-pumping when they got such an embarrassing admission on tape?) She adores him! He's crazy about her. She feels protected. She's falling in love. Because of course she is.
Daniella is pissed that her boyfriend hasn't given her enough time. She goes outside and Catherine is sitting on Sean's lap and it made her uncomfortable. It's as if she realized that her boyfriend isn't actually her boyfriend, but rather a dude that is casually seeing 25 women on television. She was weirded out that they both looked happy and were being romantical on a show about finding love. Who does that, right? Naturally, this sends AshLee into a tailspin of tears, which continues immediately upon Sean's fetching of her. She is an emotional disasterpiece, but Sean loves that about all of them!
Now it's time for ABC's casual dip into the polyamory pool with their two-on-one, winner-takes-all, high-stakes date. Tierrable begins the night maniacally cackling like the terrible version of an evil Disney queen that she thinks she is and declares: "Jackie does not know that she's about to go on a date with me and my husband!" Oh, Tierrable While we're certain that Jackie is (and she does, just FYI) going to get the boot on this date thanks to your hard work to ensure that's exactly what happens, we know that Sean won't end up with you. ABC would never allow it even if he did feel like she was the one. Why? Five words: Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson. Because, you know, that whole situation went over real well with the audience.
RELATED: 'The Bachelor' Recap: S**t Shaken, Not Stirred, Feelin' Tierrable
So Jackie knows some stuff about Tierrable and she feels it is her duty to tell him what's up. AKA the kiss of death. Because the funny thing about the dudes on this show, is that they always say they want a lady who tells him what's up, but the second they try to (as diplomatically as they can — by not naming specifics which I think they do as a tactic to not come across as tattle tales but really just ends up making them look petty and without any sort of evidentiary basis for their disdain) say anything, they get the boot. So obviously, Jackie is going home here. Even though she gave the specific of Tierrable openly flirting with some guy at the airport. You're right, Sean! These women never give you specifics! How frustrating...oh wait. No, you just don't want to hear it. People never want to hear bad things about people they like: they have to experience them first hand. So if future Bachelor contestants can take away anything from this recap? Let is be that you should just never say anything about the obvious villain-y one until the boy sees the villain-y behavior himself. So just stop telling people on this show that so-and-so isn't "real" or "genuine" or "here for the right reasons" (actually, never say those phrases ever again for as long as reality television rules the airwaves) and just suck it up and deal. Have evidence to back up your claims that is tangible, or just sit the f**k down and shut the f**k up. OK? Cool.
Before Jackie is sent packing, Sean gives Tierrable a chance to defend herself. She explains that she "has the biggest heart" and just wants to "love and get love back." Because she was with a guy for 5 years who went to rehab and then died. So she's scared of losing people she cares about and protects those sacred bonds with frivolous and melodramatic stabs at anyone who gets in her way. She is narcissistic with a capital N. Everything is constantly about how other people have done stuff and she's just sat around like an innocent bystander. Claiming ignorance isn't an excuse, my dude. Of course Sean thanks her, tells her he's aware it hasn't been easy for her, and sends Jackie packing. The master manipulator strikes again! And this time she gets fireworks for all her hard work. Follow your heart, Sean.
Back at the cocktail party before the rose ceremony, Desiree ponders how or why Sean could choose someone like Tierrable over someone as sweet and kind as Jackie. So now, of course, Sean is having doubts about Desiree. Oh lord please, child. Jesus take the wheel or something because I cannot begin to deal with this for the rest of the season. We get it, Sean. You're so hard-pressed to stick it in Tierrable that you'd probably overlook if she had the tail of a dragon and a farting, pustule-pocked gremlin riding on her back at all times. Why, why, why is it always this way?
Since it's been seven minutes, Tierrable decides it's time to get upset and bring the focus back around to her because the girls all agreed that it was hard to watch someone as nice as Jackie be sent home. Obviously on the Tierrable Show (I imagine its slogan to be "I don't deserve this, and it's your fault!") this means war, so Tierrable storms off and dreams of beating the "s**t out of these b**ches." Oh yes, your heart, Tierrable, it is so kind and loving and understanding and wonderful. It seems like everyone is going nuts and is just totally over the whole thing, so Robyn goes to confront her about her fakeness. And then Lesley comes with her own issues. And then Catherine shows up just for s**ts and giggles, and so Tierrable claims that everyone is being mean and victimizing her. They all claim they're confused as to who the real Tierrable is. She doesn't care what people say, though! Even though she consistently (and with brute force!) takes everything everyone says completely out of context in order to spend the next two hours super hung-up on it. Choice Tierrable line of the party? "If I wanted to get engaged I could go out there and get engaged, there are plenty of guys in the world."
Desiree puts it plainly: if Sean doesn't see it, he probably never will. And I'm starting to think she's right, you guys. Will Sean ever fully grasp the depths of horribleness that exist within Tierrable? Does he really need to get it in that badly?
RELATED: 'The Bachelor' Recap: Hunk and His Punks
Luckily, a plot twist seems to be afoot, because RIGHT when Tierrable and Robyn are getting at each other's throats and Tierrable is yelling threatening nonsense, Sean walks by. So now he's confused and needs to — again!!!! — steal Tierrable away. She tells Sean that she's not doing anything to any of the girls. Sean wants specifics as to who is being mean to her. Tierrable just says "all of them" which isn't true, because some girls really seem to not give any s**t whatsoever. Tierrable claims doesn't "deserve" to go through this at all (she doesn't ~deserve~ anything except everything that she wants and nothing that she don't, y'all! Isn't that what life's all about? Why is the world so hard on only Tierrable?! WAH WAH WAH), and that she doesn't understand why the girls hate her. She is "a nice girl" and no one gives her "credit" for that — which is something I only ever hear truly nice people saying. MAN! Nice people! Why are they always going on about how nice and great they are? Sheesh.
Captain Smartypants now feels a bit perturbed, and thinks its the women's responsibility now= to say something to him about Tierrable. Even though the girls already have several times, only to be sent home because of it. (Don't worry, though, I still think that they generally handle those conversations poorly. But still.) Catherine wishes Sean could take away a rose. Which, if he wanted to, you know he could — that sort of drama would push the ABC producers into an orgasmic frenzy, no doubt — but we all know he won't because dudes love their ladies crazy, no matter how much they say otherwise. Sean thinks Tierrable just has a target on her back (does that mean Sean thinks every other woman out there is a petty monster? Serious question. Because the logic there feels flawed, especially when he's mouth-kissing pretty much everyone else on that show and telling them how genuine they are. What are your real opinions about women then, eh Mr. Lowe? Inquiring minds want to know), and people seem to just not like her. Why is so weird! How all these people who otherwise seem fairly rational in their opinions of everyone else in the house, seem to just focus their dislike on this one person. It's weird, right? So now, of course, Sean thinks that maybe his wife isn't in that room. What if this whole cluster**k was for naught?! The HORROR! Because no one on this show ends up not marrying the love of their life, right? No time to worry about that, though, because it's time for an elimination.
BYESIES, Robyn! No one is really all that surprised that you're gone.
Sean is questioning everything! It's hard to believe that he could think that he might not find THE ONE on a television show, huh?
Tomorrow is ALL about Tierrable. "Yeah, because girls are jealous! Men love me!" Oof, it's going to be a doozy.
What do you think of Tierra's antics tonight? Does she deserve all the flack she's getting? Will Sean ever get his head out of that girl's derriere? Only time will tell, but let's speculate together in the comments!

High school all-American Neely Crenshaw was probably the best quarterback ever to play for the legendary Messina Spartans. Fifteen years have gone by since those glory days, and Neely has come home to Messina to bury Coach Eddie Rake, the man who molded the Spartans into an unbeatable football dynasty.
Now, as Coach Rake's "boys" sit in the bleachers waiting for the dimming field lights to signal his passing, they replay the old games, relive the old glories, and try to decide once and for all whether they love Eddie Rake—or hate him. For Neely Crenshaw, a man who must finally forgive his coach—and himself—before he can get on with life, the stakes are especially high.

Hi: 10° Lo:6°
By Carl Jackson Friday 19 October 2012 Updated: 26/10 11:18
DROITWICH Mayor Anne Taft donned a blindfold and went for a walkabout around the town centre to experience first-hand the difficulty of living with sight loss.
Coun Taft took on the task as part of World Sight Day, which took place last Thursday (October 11), undertaking a brief shopping tour of the town, starting at Morrisons.
Coun Taft said: "It was like entering another world and, initially, I felt very insecure, frightened even.
"It was a sad realisation to feel that I could not do anything without being guided.
"I felt very disorientated, even though I must have walked the same area on numerous occasions when I could see.
"I just did not know where I was, and if I wasn't guided, I would have had no idea where I was going.
After making her way through St Andrews Square, the mayor replaced the blindfold with tunnel vision glasses to experience what it was like for those who had very limited sight.
After visiting Kate Barclay, WH Smith and M&Co, she said: "I found the glasses very restrictive, but after not being able to see anything at all with the blindfold, it seemed marvellous to experience some light, even though it was very limited.
"It was still easy to walk into objects."
Coun Taft added she was surprised it took her more than an hour to visit the handful of shops.
The Mayor was guided by Phil Wallis from Droitwich Spa Lions Club which has organised World Sight Day for the last 15 years.
Jenny Gage, from Sight Concern Worcestershire - one of Coun Taft's charities of the year - also accompanied Coun Taft.
Ms Gage said: "It is great feedback for us to experience what it is like to have sight loss.
"Simple things like shopping becomes an incredibly challenging task.
"We would urge anyone who needs any level of support to register with Sight Concern.
"We try to help people become more independent.
"There is plenty of help out there people just need to know about it."

I've just pre-ordered Warlock from Steam...thought I'd give the demo a go, installed, clicked play and I'm told my graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements and I cannot play this game.
The minimum requirements on steam for graphics is : GeForce GT240 512 Mb or comparable.
I have a Radeon X1950 Crossfire 512MB, ok I know it's old but when I checked the minimum requirements for the game I figured it checked out ok. I can run games like Civ 5, shogun 2 on good enough settings...am I seriousely not going to be able to play this game unless I buy a new graphics card? I'm literally praying I'm wrong somehow and all I need to do is press a button somwhere, been really looking forward to this game and would rather not have to cancel my pre-order.
Any suggestions?

Your page says Unigine 1.0 supports R300 & up- if there are any more updates to it planned, would you support the open-source Radeon driver? (I understand the performance isn't the same).
When will we get the answers to these questions?
Early next week, hopefully.
That would be awesome, thanks!

Stella's Bar and Grill
106 Galvin Rd. S
Bellevue Nebraska 68005United States

Editor's Review
Midwest Living Recommends
It's not fancy and it can get crowded, but Stella's Bar and Grill is a great spot to find a delicious, if greasy, burger.
Heading into Stella's Bar and Grill, you know you're going to eat something bad for you, so sit back and enjoy the greasy deliciousness. The reputation of the world-famous Stella Burgers is widespread, so the 50 indoor seats fill quickly at lunchtime. Arrive a bit before or after traditional lunch breaks or you may find yourself in the standing-room-only entry watching hawklike for an open table. Fresh, 6.5-ounce ground beef burgers are hand-pressed and cooked to order on a cast-iron grill. Interesting add-ons include fried eggs, jalapenos and peanut butter. Burgers come on paper napkins, with fries or onion rings on the side -- be sure to grab a few extra to better wipe away the fresh-from-the-fryer evidence. We had a World-Famous Stella Burger with American cheese ($4.75), which came with the standard lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion and mayo. We also tried the Southwest Burger ($5.75), topped with BBQ sauce, Swiss cheese, American cheese and two onion rings. Both were cooked to our specifications and served hot just 10 minutes after we ordered. We loved the sweet BBQ sauce on the Southwest Burger and the generous portions of fries and onion rings. While Stella's two flat-screen televisions are big enough to provide the feel of a sports bar, the restaurant is bright and clean enough to feel like a friendly diner. If you want to imbibe, there are more than 40 varieties of bottled and canned beer to choose from. Many customers are Bellevue locals and airmen from nearby Offutt Air Force Base. But you'll run into people from all over the metro area because the burgers are destination-worthy and the location is only a 10-minute drive from downtown Omaha.

"Thank you for your follow up, we both loved our time in Croatia. It's really a beautiful place, especially the coast. Your choice of hotels was great. It was an incredible view from the Bellevue hotel in Dubrovnik and the Vestibule in Split was in the best possible location. We were able to relax in our room listening to the wonderful singers in the courtyard and its central location made it so easy to walk anywhere we wanted to see with ease. "

"We just returned from a 10 day trip to Paris and Normandy. We spent three nights in Paris and then enjoyed a seven night cruise on the Seine to Normandy with AMA Waterways. The time in Paris was well spent and has piqued our interest to return for a more thorough visit. Guide Wafaa Lankey was superb in our visit to Versailles. The Seine cruise was relaxing and beautiful. So many wonderful little towns and we wished we had more time in each one to explore and enjoy.
We traveled to Croatia and Slovenia using Kensington earlier this year which was a fantastic trip."

Thank you for helping me look into this matter. You are right, I just looked at the Petition and it says he came from Fiume. His hometown was Sumber, Istria. I will keep looking and if you ever find the list, please let me know. Thank you so much!!!PeterTimber wrote:I thought you would like to know just for information and not very helpful for the moment about the SS Carpathia. That ship was not permitted to sail the North Atlantic during the winter months and was transferred to the Mediterranean run to NY coming from Fiume, Trieste in the headwaters of the Adriatic sea. Most likely Dominick Radovich joined the ship either at Fiume or Trieste before sailing to NYC in November, 1913.
Should youever have occasion to write to Cunard for infromationabout him as a crew member youmight find this information useful. I also found out that crew lists were not retained as a matter of course and some were salvaged but many were destroyed. The relating website is
Needless to say Dominck Radovich name is not indexed. =Peter=

Do What's Right: pragmatic concerns about morality and God's Laws.
My eBooks: free books I've published on Smashwords, available in various formats.
Warning: This Site Subject to Closure in the Near Future
All operations will be moved to the virtual parish blog.
The Ancient Path to a Renewed Religion
Western Civilization is collapsing, and Western Christianity with it. It's just as well, since the West has always been fundamentally hostile to God's revelation. Given that you are reading this in English, such thoughts are likely alien. So is the religion taught here, though I claim it comes from the same Bible. If you are intrigued by such a claim, read on.
This site was once much more expansive, but the time for that is long gone. There remains only a few critical documents here.
The Mission -- We have high hopes that our Mission History is a living document that changes frequently as our outreach to the US Military grows and prospers. To that end, we have prepared a Vision statement of sorts.
Introduction -- We introduce the concept of A Virtual Religion. And while it is generally impossible to summarize the revelation of God it's less difficult to summarize how that revelation contradicts what you see around you -- Summary of Opposition.
Intellectual Ground -- Before building a biblical life, you have to select the proper site for your foundation. We offer a review of the intellectual assumptions of how men can know things (called "epistemology"), in particular from God's Word. For those wishing a more academic exploration, you should try A Course in Biblical Mysticism, a free ebook.
Knowing the Spirit -- Mysticism is not a religion by itself, but a way of arriving at decisions about serving the God of the Bible. In this Christian Mysticism HOWTO, I explain how faith and mysticism are inextricably linked. The Spiritual Development HOWTO carries the process forward. Hearing God is a more clinical discussion.
Quantum Thinking -- Most Christians recognize the phrase, "walking in the Spirit." Unfortunately, most Christians have a very poor idea what that actually means. They might be able to discuss it intelligently, but actually doing it is another matter entirely. They need A Quantum Spirit.
It's Not Working -- Studies in the Laws of Noah as examples of universal justice. One of best ways to understand our obligations under the Covenant of Noah is to study it by comparing it with things in our modern world that fail that standard.
Biblical Education -- The Bible has much to say about child rearing and education, but the ancient ways may be hard for us to bear: Biblical Human Development.
Dispensationalist Lies -- The best defense against The Heresy of Dispensationalism is to know where it came from, why, and how Modern Israel cannot possibly fulfill any part of biblical prophecy.
Prophet's Path -- A training manual for those who believe they are called to prophesy.
Fundamentals of Socio-Sexual Development -- Commonly referred to on the Internet as "Game", you'll need this tool to correct a vast wealth of the world's lies. See also the free ebook, A Christian Guide to the Sexual Marketplace.
Logic Games: Doctrine of the Fall -- More than a discussion of the Doctrine of the Fall, we look at the silly games involved in logical debate tactics.
Oppression in Modern America -- Government oppression is not simply something that happens in other places. Nor is it merely the catch-phrase of whining political hucksters seeking to divide the US. This nation is already deeply and truly divided -- between citizens and unaccountable government employees. My own case provides anecdotal evidence.
Nature of Sin and Temptation -- We examine Scripture, from Genesis to 1 John, and see a distinct pattern describing the nature of temptation shows up.
Omnisexual -- Too often we miss the real issue in our pursuit of public policy debate. The Bible was based on a wholly different concept of human sexuality than prevails in the West today.
Sex, Pornography and Children -- Major taboo topic. We can't ignore it, nor can we afford to let the world make decisions for us on this.
Western Civilization Is Not Christian -- Research paper pointing out one of the biggest lies still told today.
Just for amusement, here is a a cover letter and my resume.
Computer Ministry Stuff
A critical element in my calling is to offer some advice on making the most of your computer.
My book on Debian for Linux newbies: Debian: Try It; You'll Like It. This is available in various ebook formats for free at my Smashwords account (linked on the upper left of this page).
A copy of my
Alpine with multiple accounts: This tutorial is a plain text file.
World of Ends: A link to an outside document, the absolute essential understanding of the nature of the Internet. Ignore this at your peril.
Everything on this site is offered for public consumption, and without charge. It would be easy to try and formulate all sorts of restrictions and copyright guidelines, but such things seem to me an unnecessary burden on the reader. It might be nice if I were to be paid someday for the effort I put into it, but there's little of God's purpose to be gained by trying to force the issue. Enforcement of those things seldom happens the way we would like. So while I do claim this material as "copyrighted" under the legal definition of the term, in actual practice I state it thus:
COPYRIGHT NOTICE: People of honor need no copyright laws; they are only too happy to give credit where credit is due. Others will ignore copyright laws whenever they please. If you are of the latter, please note what Moses said about dishonorable behavior -- "be sure your sin will find you out" (Numbers 32:23)
This means you should feel free to make a copy of everything here to keep for yourself, and pass it around to others. Hopefully, no one will remove my name from the copy, and will give me proper credit when they quote from it.

Philip Jose Farmer has died
Another of the giants has left us. I read To Your Scattered Bodies Go and some of the Riverworld sequels, and loved them. He was well-known and well-appreciated when he was more prolific, but maybe not so much now.
Here are some links about his works:
February 26th, 2009, 11:50 AM #2
He also helped start the whole Wold Newton Universe, which may be his most remembered achievement.
February 26th, 2009, 03:48 PM #3
To Your Scattered Bodies Go is a great book (and a cool title). Here's hoping that he wakes along the river somewhere.

I have not yet read anything by him, but it is sad to think we have lost another great writer. I will add To Your Scattered Bodies Go to my must-read list, because the title intrigues me.
February 26th, 2009, 06:11 PM #5
2. The Fabulous Riverboat
3. The Dark Design
4. The Magic Labyrinth
I remember reading the series quite a while back. I liked the first book best, but that's certainly not where the story ends.
The idea is as simple as it is ambitious: along the banks of a river, everyone is resurrected. Napoleon, Julius Caeser, Hitler, your grandmother.... Everyone.
(You may wish to know that this is sf, rather than fantasy, by the way. Also, there was a fifth volume, Gods of the Riverworld, but I recall it wasn't really part of the same storyline. More like a sequel of sorts.)

Always sad when someone passes on I loved the idea of the riverworld series but had to give up on the last novel. It just seemed to lack something that the earlier novels had and it couldn't keep me interested.

One on One Talks Superbowl XLVII with Matt Vensel and Steve Bono
Saturday afternoon Kris Venezia and I had the opportunity to get both perspectives from the two Super Bowl teams, supplying strong analysis and real life experiences to break down the game.
First we talked with Matt Vensel, Baltimore Sun Ravens blogger, asking him about the Ray Lewis controversy this week and Joe Flacco's performance. He also describes the Flacco's contract situation and the keys to the Ravens winning Sunday.

Top 10 Sellers
HomeComputers & TabletsComputersMonitors
What Kind Of Monitor Should You Choose?
Choosing the monitor that's right for you boils down to a three things: screen size, picture quality and cost.
Most desktop monitors today have screens ranging from 19" to 29" but larger screens of 40" to 55" are also increasingly popular. It really depends on how you're using your computer. If it's just for emailing and word processing, a smaller screen should be sufficient. But if you're using your computer for designing, gaming or for viewing movies, a larger screen may be a better choice.
The bulky CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitors of yesterday have largely disappeared and been replaced by lighter, better quality LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitors. The ultra-slim flat panel LCD monitors available today boast higher resolutions and are more affordable than ever, making them especially popular choices.
LED (Light-Emitting Diode) monitors are a different type of LCD monitor – the only difference is in the backlighting technology. LCD monitors use fluorescent lamps to light the display, while LED monitors use the more energy-efficient light-emitting diode technology. LED monitors use up to 40% less energy and have no mercury, making them a more environmentally friendly choice. They also help reduce eye strain, which is important if you spend a lot of time in front of your computer.
LED monitors tend to be more expensive than LCDs, and the larger the screen size, the more you'll typically pay. But when selecting a monitor your best bet, as always, is to go with the best quality and largest size that suits your budget.
