We are pleased to announce the 2014 Compliance Training Workshops and Webinar series. Hosted by the Credit Union League of CT and facilitated by the experts at M&M Consulting, LLC, these training workshops and webinars will provide comprehensive understanding of upcoming regulatory changes and assist in providing exciting solutions to the regulatory difficulties Connecticut credit unions are faced with.
This year, in an effort to maximize the benefits of this invaluable guidance, the league will provide the opportunity to attend the webinar portion of the series from the convenience of your credit union. As always, the league is happy to provide the webinars at our office in Meriden at no cost to our affiliated credit unions. If however, you are interested in attending from your credit union, the registration fee is $89.00 per webinar/per incoming telephone line. You may have as many employees who wish to take advantage of any particular webinar attend from your credit union provided they are on the same telephone line for this small cost. Registration to attend either option is required.
M&M Consulting, LLC experts will also serve as facilitators in the Workshop portion of this series. These experts are secure in their knowledge, and confident of their ability to convey pertinent compliance information. Affiliated credit unions will leave our Workshop training sessions with an understanding of how to meet the challenges they face in today's regulatory environment. The workshops are available to our affiliated credit unions at no additional cost. Dates will be announced and registration is required.
The first webinar in the series focuses on the confusion around the new mortgage regulations. It is scheduled for Wednesday, March 5th 9:00 am – 11:00 am and will provide comprehensive understanding on how these rules affect the mortgage products and services you provide your members, as well as how to comply with the regulations. This is a great opportunity to obtain additional guidance now that the rules have taken effect and the need for implementation grows with more intensity.

In response to Alessandro http://www.d-word.com/topics/show/97?post=201031 i have sent you an email so you now have my address.
Hi All:
I have joined D-Word as an "Enthusiast" because, frankly, I have an idea for a Documentary film, and a (small) amount of seed money should I find a filmmaker with a shared vision. My idea was born from a life which, for the past several years at least, has been dramatic. I started my search for a filmmaker at the top, by contacting academy award nominees/winners from the past several years. That effort bought me almost an hour on the phone with Ross Kauffman (an award winner) and a request for my book from two others who had been nominated. This is the (form of the) email which generated that interest:
"I am a former Manhattan attorney and a registered sex offender. Through a book I wrote about my crime [SEE 1 AND 2 AND 3 and other efforts, I am attempting to offer a perspective on this highly-charged issue which I believe society ignores to its detriment. The roadblocks have been enormous.
As a documentary filmmaker who explores social issues, if there were an approach for a film on sex offending which is worthy and unique, would you spend a few moments of your time? If you would, I'd love the opportunity to share with you some thoughts I've developed as a result of life experiences I never dreamed possible."
Though not impossible that I'll "get the call" from one of them, I didn't need to be told that their options are vast. So, I figured I'd be proactive again and post this to see if any filmmakers who'd like to be nominated for an academy award may be interested. There's a lot more story to tell. Even if not, suggestions on how to contact a filmmaker who may be would be appreciated.
Jim Cornelio
Hi all
I'm thrilled to have discovered The D-Word via Doculink.
I am a longtime fan of the doc form. But after an initial foray into doc work after college, I took a 20 year detour into public radio, working as a producer for NPR News. I am excited to get back to my original goal and am now actively seeking to apply my journalism and storytelling skills to the doc world, specifically editing.
I am a recent grad of the Tech Center's Art of Editing class (Hi Rachel!) and loved working on the doc project there, Sally Rowe's film about New York chef, Paul Liebrandt.
I am now seeking editing projects in the LA area. I hope to meet and share info with more of the D-Word members. Thanks!
Chip Grabow
Welcome, Chip and Jim. Good to have you find your way here.
Thanks Doug. And a correction – I meant to write, "I am a recent grad of The Edit Center's Art of Editing class in NYC." Hi to all TECAlums on the D-Word.
why do I feel that James will not be around for long? James, maybe it's different in a lawyers' world (shan't speak for the other world you claim membership in) but people are not highly appreciative of someone coming into a club and claiming to want to speak only to those who might have won the top award in the industry or offering others the chance to do so with your help. Here we tend to respect and honour all our members and their achievements and take an interest in one another without first checking their claims to fame. And, of course, I speak only for myself.
Hey all – just wanted to introduce myself, I'm an editor who is always looking to collaborate with other documentary filmmakers. Feel free to send me a message to see examples of my work and I look forward to being part of this community
Sorry, David, no disrespect intended (I can assure you I'm probably one of the last people in the world who'd go around disrespecting others). My intention was simply to underscore how inspired and motivated I am in wanting to undertake what I believe to be a worthy project. And, of course, ANY interest by ANY body else in one's ideas helps to keep that inspiration going. Obviously when that interest comes from someone who has already shown some ability to pick and choose topics that others appreciate, then that particular person's interest adds just a little more "juice" (if you will) to one's own energy.
I continue in my desire to collaborate with anyone who, as I said before, may share a similar vision and have the expertise that I lack.
Hi all, I'm a festival director and video editor that began as a editor's apprentice prepping 35mm dailies, a job no longer needed – spent several times with celluloid clapboards, tails and background on my floor. Began the film festival circuit as the assistant director of the WC Film Fest and I am now the festival director of the Red Rock Film Festival of Zion Canyon.
Hi Jason!! See you Friday at the Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival.
Matt – no need to double post at the D-Word; such is the nature of our site we see all the Topics.
Thanks John! I saw "Introduce yourself" again and thought whaa?
Just to trip you up, Matt ;-) Welcome to The D-Word. Always nice to have another festival head on board here.
Hello everyone. I'm a videographer/editor. My professional background involves shooting/editing footage of George Lucas for the behind-the-scenes docs for the Star Wars franchise at Lucasfilm Ltd. for 2 years, and then shortly after that I worked for a small division of FOX producing similar behind-the-scenes and news content for the videogame industry at IGN Entertainment (ign.com). I recently finished my first feature-length documentary, Rabbit Fever (www.rabbitfever.com). I'm so glad to have found this forum!

HP TouchSmart 520 PC review
HP's TouchSmart 520 is a beautiful all-in-one touchscreen PC that's bedecked in Beats audio finery and multi-media functionality
We've already reviewed the HP TouchSmart 610-1030UK and the HP Touchsmart 600-1220. Both were great all-in-one multimedia PCs and now HP has released the TouchSmart 520 with Beats audio.
Designed around a 23-inch touchscreen monitor, the TouchSmart 520 is HP's all-in-one PC for the average home. Coming pre-loaded with several touch-focused applications and Beats audio technology, this is an accomplished multimedia package.
The appeal of the all-in-one PC is not hard to fathom. No longer is there a need to organise the separate components around your desk amid a jungle of tangled wires. Just one big screen, one power lead, job done.
HP TouchSmart 520: Design
HP has given the TouchSmart a curving design so that although the monitor is six inches thick, it appears slimmer thanks to the curvature at the back. The entire machine is built onto a single silver hinge locked into the base stand. This gives the TouchSmart a great deal of freedom to tilt forward and backwards through a 60 degree viewing angle that is quite impressive.
HP TouchSmart 520: Features
The key feature of the TouchSmart is, unsurprisingly, the multi-gesture touch screen. At 27-inches across, there's plenty to touch and the response is crisp and smooth. You're given the option of using an on-screen keyboard as well – so there's always the option to do away with the keyboard and mouse completely.

Some good conclusions can be drawn from Tom's Hardware DX10 Shootout.
Thanks for the new details!
Am I the only one that sees the computer differences here? The ATI is a Dual quad core with 4 gig of ram and the nvidia is a dual core with 2 gig of ram.
How can this possibly determine ATI has better performance? Why not just swap the cards and use the same computer to get a legit test?
No chance you guys have a 30" LCD to test at 2560x1600 for me?
Can you play Quake Wars for Linux on ranked (most) multiplayer servers? Ie, it comes with Punkbuster for Linux and this works OK?
I'm surprised how you guys managed to get the new driver to work out of the box... The forum is flooding with threads about issues of 8.42.3
In general I would personally recommend waiting the two or so days until the drivers are available in the distributions rep, then you are at least sure that the install/build part does work as expected.

Yesterday, in the jardins des Tuileries, Raf Simons unveiled his second haute couture collection for the house of Dior. Today, it's our analysis.
A box with mirrored sides sat somehow hidden in the Tuileries gardens in the center of Paris. The wintry, bare trees were reflected like a landscape in water, and if this didn't draw attention to the outlines of the cube, one couldn't have been certain whether the structure really existed or whether it was a simple optical illusion. Yet everything inside it was more than real. The brilliant white of the room recalled the snow that had covered Paris for the past three days. A garden had been created, with box hedges in the tradition of the French parterre, as at Versailles; but here their design tells a story that's resolutely modern. The first model appeared, emerging from between the bushes, like a flower growing in its garden. Raf Simons' whole idea was there: the collection as a metaphor for spring, from the very first signs of life emerging from the lingering shadow of winter to the fully-blooming flowers of high summer. "This season, I wanted to do a collection that speaks for itself," the designers explains. "I wanted it to literally be 'in season', so that it conveys the very idea of spring." It's a similar vision of feminity that Monsieur Dior envisioned for his flower-women when he sent out his first collection in 1947 - radiant and romantic confident young women.
It was all about layering, building the show as a developing story, giving the impression that the clothes are unfurling and growing in the set. As is the case with the flower embroideries in successive layers, more and more numerous as the collection progresses, up to the fully-embroidered balloon dresses whose airy outward effect is achieved through a much more complicated construction beneath, testament to the skill of the ateliers. Similarly with the strapless dresses with rigorously-constructed bodices and full, airy skirts. And in the colors, starting with powder, beige, ecru and flesh-tone, and moving to reds with the intensity of poppy or the depth of bordeaux, and greens and pinks in all the nuances that one can find in a garden.
In a nod to history and another time, on February 12, 1947, when Christian Dior unveiled his first haute couture collection, Paris and Avenue Montaigne were covered in a thick blanket of snow. And that snowy white was the same color as the looks that brought yesterday's show to its gorgeous conclusion.

What they changed in 4.3 is that you no longer do the air running thing, you just float along. So I imagine that all the people who didn't have the glyph previously now are getting it so they can do the ghostly floating thing.
Silly story, but the night I noticed the change my raid was making fun of me for looking so ridiculous. We all had clone potions from a silly 10 Moonkin Ragnaros kill picture, and I ended up with a train of Grizzlepriests /following me around through Orgrimmar.
Kind of a dopey story but it was a memorable moment.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young 1974 Live Set Delayed
Saturday, May 4, 2013
Graham Nash revealed that the long-awaited 1974 Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young live album originally due out on August 27th has been delayed. Nash, who along with band archivist Joel Bernstein compiled the collection, explained the situation to ABC News, saying, "We were gonna bring it out in August, but next year is the 40th anniversary of the tour, and so I'm gonna wait for spring of next year. You gotta understand, our shows were three or four hours long and there are four of us and we were all writing like crazy. I just found a one-minute, 10-second song of Neil Young's about Richard Nixon that I can't leave off. It's brilliant. . . So, my point is, I'm still forming and shaping the album."
Although Graham Nash has one foot planted in the past in regards to the group's vault releases, he's also on top of the monumental changes that have taken place in the music business over the past decade: "There's not a lot of money being made in the recording business right now. But it still costs a fortune to record, right? So, how do you balance that? I think that most bands now are making their money (in) live recordings, live concerts, and selling their product at the merchandising stand. It's all really, really changed in the last 10 years."
Crosby, Stills, & Nash perform tomorrow night (May 3rd) with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra at Lincoln Center's Rose Theatre, at the event dubbed, The Crosby, Stills & Nash Songbook.

Bean bag shotguns shoot bags filled with small pellets at reduced speed to subdue a potentially violent suspect. Authorities in Rapid City have had to use them multiple times recently, leading many to question whether they would have been well-suited to other incidents in the area where suspects have been killed.

Suppose you contemplate somethingbeyond perception,beyond grasping,beyond not being.- you.
I am existing.This is mine.This is this.Oh beloved,even in such know illimitably.
Man is Janus-faced - animal and divine both. Animal belongs to his past, divine belongs to his future, and this creates the difficulty. The past has passed, it is no more; just a shadow of it lingers on. And the future is still the future, it has not yet come; it just a dream, just a possibility. And between these two exists man - the shadow of the past and the dream of the future. He is neither and he is both.
He is both because the past is his - he was animal. He is both because the future is his - he can be divine. And he is not both, because the past is no more and the future is yet to be.
Man exists as a tension between these two: that which was and that which can be. This creates a conflict, a constant struggle to realize, to be something. In a sense, man is not. Man is just a step from the animal to the divine - and a step is nowhere. It was somewhere and it will be somewhere, but right now it is nowhere, just hanging in the air.
So whatsoever man is doing - whatsoever I say - he is never satisfied in it, never content, because two diametrically opposite existences meet in him. If the animal is satisfied then the divine is in discontent. If the divine is satisfied then the animal is in discontent. A part is always in discontent.
If you move to the animal, in a way you satisfy part of your being, but immediately in that satisfaction dissatisfaction arises, because the opposite part, your future, is just contrary to it. The satisfaction of the animal is the dissatisfaction of the possibility of your future. If you satisfy your divine possibility the animal revolts; it feels hurt. A definite discontent arises within you. You cannot satisfy both, and satisfying one, the other is dissatisfied.
I remember one anecdote. One sports car enthusiast reached the pearly gates, and St. Peter welcomed him. He had come with his Jaguar, and the first thing he asked St. Peter was this: "Are there beautiful highways in heaven?"
St. Peter said, "Yes, they have the most beautiful highways, but there is one difficulty - in heaven they don't allow automobiles."
The speed-fiend said, "Then it is not for me. Then please arrange for me to be sent to the other place. I would like to go to hell. I cannot leave my Jaguar."
So it was arranged. He reached hell, he came to the gates, and Satan welcomed him and said that he was very happy to see him. He said, "You are just like me; I am also a lover of Jaguars."
The speed-fiend said, "Fine, give me the map of your highways."

The Bishop Broncos fell to the Malibu Sharks, the number two ranked baseball team in CIF Division 6.
Bishop made the drive down Thursday, knowing they were the underdog. The good news, though the players may not have thought so on the long drive back from the coast, was the score: 6-10. The Broncos did Bishop proud, staying in the game despite a 1-8 deficit going into the fifth inning.
Malibu retired its pitcher in the fifth, then had to sit through the final three innings wondering if the decision was wise as the Broncos methodically chipped away at the SharksŌĆÖ lead.
The Lone Pine Golden Eagles Track and Field team finished its season on a high note as the athletes reached the medal podium three times at the Desert Mountain League Finals, held at Antelope Valley High School the first week in May.
Competing against nine teams, Lone PineŌĆÖs Alec Garcia took first place in the 400-meter sprint, qualifying for the CIF championship prelims.
The Bishop Lady Broncos softball team fell, 3-13, to the Shadow Hills Knights Thursday afternoon in the first round of CIF Division 6 playoffs.
ŌĆ£Unfortunately the score does not reflect what a good game it was,ŌĆØ said coach Stacy Van Nest. ŌĆ£We came ready to play but were out-hit and had some defensive errors. But we never gave up. The game was not out of reach until the bottom of the sixth. IŌĆÖm proud of every girl on this team for an outstanding season.ŌĆØ
The sixth annual Bomb-Fest Slow Pitch Softball Tournament played out last weekend at Millpond with the menŌĆÖs teams battling it out on Saturday, followed by the coed teams on Sunday.
A lot of the names and faces were familiar, with Sweetwater, Reds and Mad Batters among the seven menŌĆÖs teams competing for the tournament championship.
The champions of both the menŌĆÖs and coed divisions, however, were teams from Northern California: Deaf Row, menŌĆÖs champion, and Judoknome, coed champ.
Both teams, as well as one additional coed contender, were made up of hearing-impaired players.
That the Bishop Broncos baseball team beat the Desert Scorpions Friday afternoon at Edwards Air Force Base is not much of a surprise. That they beat them 20-1 is significant. The resurrection of the BroncosŌĆÖ bats at home against Rosamond last Tuesday was no fluke. The Bishop bats are back.
And, theyŌĆÖll get another good workout at California City this afternoon before hosting the two High Desert League teams that handed Bishop back-to-back road losses two weeks ago.
The Bishop Lady Broncos softball team came back from its loss to the undefeated Rosamond Roadrunners, demolishing the Desert Scorpions on the road, 14-4, Friday.
ŌĆ£The girls did well under hot conditions and varying field positions,ŌĆØ said coach Stacy Van Nest. ŌĆ£We still continue to work hard to diminish defensive errors.ŌĆØ
The Broncos travel to Cal City this afternoon, then host Frazier Mountain, Friday, and Kern Valley, Tuesday. Bishop is 5-1 in High Desert League, 11-7 overall.

I have not heard of a Trails life troop around here. The only flack I've heard about the whole membership issue is that an older lady told the boys selling popcorn how mad she was about the BSA decision, and we had a district executive resign over the issue (he's still involved as a a parent/OA member, just not as paid staff).

I watched about half of their 39 minute video. The program seems to be rigidly structured and adult led. With church membership declining, I don't see them as a growth area. I wonder if they're going to sell Trail's Life popcorn?
Originally posted by nextgenscouter1 View Post...I personally find this new organization disturbing for many different reasons.The first is their oath which is a dead ringer of the boy scout...
Other scouting groups besides the BSA also use similarly worded oaths and laws. No one really owns them.

I agree with those here who have said that this spin off would probably have eventually happened even if the vote on the gay issue had not come up. There were (and still are) a group of people in the BSA that are not interested in, and have no intention of embracing the BSA values of pluralism (the BSA is "completely nonsectarian" and A Scout is Reverent - "... He respects the beliefs of others."). They want the BSA to be an explicitly conservative Christian organization that allowed others to join, as long as they agreed to follow conservative Christian values (after all, these are the only valid "values"). The vote was a signal that the BSA was no-longer moving in the direction they wished.
So it's no surprise that Trail Life is an explicitly Christian organization (and only a certain kind of Christian at that), that has a policy on gays that is almost identical to the new BSA one (because it was really a religious issue, not one about gays). I have no problem with them and I wish them well. Trail Life (like the American Heritage Girls) is very up-front and honest about what they are, and provides an alternative to those scouters that don't want to rub elbows with people of different faiths.
moosetracker I have to disagree. Had the BSA kept this as a local decision to make, the same thing still would have happened eventually. This thing was always a powder keg. All it would take to set it off was that one district with a "no gays" policy and one kid getting kicked out and taking it to the press. That was going to happen eventually, no matter if the policy was locally or nationally set.
My understanding is our Council hasn't lost any units. The most conservative/fundamentalist Church in our area has a long time very active Troop, they still don't have any women leaders, but they are sticking around. I lost one scout, which is odd because we're a Catholic unit and the new policy is pretty much the same policy our schools have. I never had to confront the issue, but I think the previous policy was as much a violation of our rules as it was consistent with them.
I wonder how well the level of political activism in the Church correlates with the likelihood that they are leaving.
moosetracker commented02-12-2014, 02:50 AMEditing a commentWell uprising may be strong, but he definitely mixed religion with politics and tried to force Catholics to all organize and protest and vote a certain way.. Dictating that all the priest read a certain political speech at all their services for a week, regardless of if the priest believed it or not.. My husband got his political speech dosed out at a Catholic funeral of all places!!.. I guess some priests who got into the speech too much expounded on it likening Obama to Hitlar or Stalin.. Other brave priest, noted what they were required to read, and then gave a sermon on why it was wrong to give a sermon on such crap..
For me Pope Benedict was a scary dude.. He said that God spoke to him and told him to step aside.. If so.. Thank you God..
Converting your religious members into a political army is wrong and dangerous.. Thankfully it all ended when they discovered the Republicans agenda against the poor.. It calmed down to both parties have pluses and minuses so make your own decision.
Then Pope Benedict left and this new pope is a breath of fresh air, even for us non-Catholics.. Especially those of us who fear religious leaders using their pulpit to create political armies in the name of God.
We still have the Conservative Protestants engaging in politicizing their religion though, so I still worry about them.. But my worries about Catholics have calmed down.
02-12-2014, 06:57 AMEditing a commentHere's where Catholicism and Protestantism are different. There are plenty of issues where Catholics are free to have an opinion. There are some things that if Catholics don't believe them, you are denying central tenants of the religion. The Trinity, The Eucharist, the sanctity of life. (No death penalty, no euthanasia, no abortion, yes to social charity.)
The reason Catholics have the Priest, have the Clergy is to uphold the teachings of the Faith.
The document I cited earlier, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, breaks down the Bible and the beliefs of the church.
What might sound political is often reinforcing and reteaching some of the core values of the religion. If the Pope or any clergy told people Specifically who to vote for, that's wrong. But if they didn't warn Catholics about voting for things that are wrong, they wouldn't be doing their jobs.
Again I doubt Benedict Xvi was that involved with American Politics. More likely than not the order to speak about those issues came from the US bishops.
The Catholic Church is going to push it's members to vote for a government that reflects it's goals. Were you complaining about politicization of Catholics when the US Council of Bishops was giving support for Obamacare? Or support for immigration reform? My local parish in Ohio is in speaker Boehners district. The church organized a rally for immigration reform outside Boehners offices .
I hope I'm not coming off as pushy. Doing my best to explain a complex topic.Last edited by Sentinel947; 02-12-2014, 07:52 AM. Reason: Typo
Peregrinator commented02-12-2014, 08:48 AMEditing a commentThere definitely weren't any "orders" to speak out or stage protests ... for all the nativist fear of Catholics getting their marching orders from the Vatican, it doesn't actually happen.
Take France for example -- do you think the "Manif pour Tous" movement is taking orders from the Pope? Sunday Mass attendance in France is so bad (in the single digits) that a priest would be thrilled with the level of Mass attendance in the U.S. (around 25%).
I'm giving up writing comments. My last two I posted under the right section and they were thrown into the thread but under the wrong post and not where I placed the comment..
So In answer to Sentinel947 23.15.. ~~Did the council support it, or did they do sermons telling their followers to go out and rally and picket and protest about it as a massive group?.. One is fine, one is not, regardless of if it supports my ideas or not..
They definitely went beyond preaching about sin.. They were stating who to vote for.. You had a lot of Catholics ALOT, walking away from that sermon with smoke blowing out of their ears.. Even my brother-in-law, who is basically Republican and all for Mitt Romney replacing Obama was livid with the speech they were forced to listen to during that funeral.. It was probably close to what his beliefs were, but had absolutely no place being spoken in a church.. They were not at a political pep rally.
02-17-2014, 12:12 PMEditing a commentWhy can't a church have an opinion about how government policy's are working? What's the difference between a church and any other non profit special interest group?
I'd agree any preaching that incites hatred or violent action is at the least contrary to almost all religious teachings. But you still haven't satisfied my question above.
moosetracker commented02-18-2014, 05:42 AMEditing a commentPolitics by nature divides, especially in these polarized times.
Also there is a difference between the Koch brothers wanting me to vote a special way, per a commercial advertisement, and my priest telling me God wants me to vote a certain way or I will burn in hell for all eternity..
It is fine for Priest to get up and talk about things one way or another that if you follow politics you can attribute to siding with one political party views, but someone else who does not follow politics just takes it as a message on how they personally should conduct their personal life.. You are mistaken to think protestant sermons do not do this, at least the churches I attended did.. The priest would pull something out of the current news, and entwine or compare it to something in the bible to come up with some words of wisdom to go home and think about.. But, I don't remember them bring a politician by name into the sermon to condemn them or a political party into the sermon to condemn it.. Definitely never gave us a laundry list of the candidates that God wanted us to vote for..
That is the Protestant Churches I was raised in.. I don't know if during that time period the conservative protestant was as political as they are now, but now, politizing religion is (or was before your new pope) not just a flaw of Catholics.. The conservative protestants do the same thing, they were in on the Sunday protest where they were going to tell their congregation who to vote for.
God does not get involved in politics.. The priest is the biased person, and has somehow deemed that if they believe in a set politics with all their heart, then it must be God speaking through them.. But, it is just a flawed, biased human being on the pulpit telling his congregation his beliefs are Gods beliefs..
Even now Catholics are trying to politicize what the Pope says.. He is not endorsing the Republicans or the Democrats.. But, people want to see one party or another in his words, and use it as an endorsement.. There was some interview where the Pope did say it was wrong to twist his words into some sort of political agenda.. But, there are Catholics so use to the old Pope, that they just can't help themselves..Last edited by moosetracker; 02-18-2014, 06:07 AM.
02-18-2014, 02:39 PMEditing a commentI understand your point. I agree.
You keep pointing to Pope Benedict XVI as an especially political pope, but you don't provide any evidence to back your claim.
Well, I attended that "Trail Life USA Town Meeting" last night. Attendance was sparse, mostly district people who plan to be involved in both organizations, plus a guy from the Royal Rangers willing to lend a hand to the new organization.
I was able to briefly examine a Trail Life handbook. At first glance the Scoutcraft seemed even thinner than that of the BSA. The "Leadership and Character" (anti-Scoutcraft) aspects were even more pronounced, which should not be a surprise since it is an organization of BSA expatriates.
My BSA Troop's former Chartered Organization Representative is the chief Trail Life commissioner in this area. I agreed to serve on his committee as an outdoor skills trainer if he can shepherd my application through the process.
It turns out that one factor limiting involvement on district levels, is that a volunteer application must include a letter of reference from your pastor, so those who agree with Trail Life principles, but are not members of a church are excluded from membership.
Peregrinator commented02-17-2014, 07:07 AMEditing a commentAs a Catholic, I wouldn't feel comfortable in an explicitly Christian organization unless it was explicitly Catholic. There are some Protestant groups that really do not like Catholics.
I don't think it has much to do with not liking. I mean, it can, but really the critical thing is Protestants, especially those influenced by the pietist tradition (which I think describes most of TPTB in Trail Life), not understanding what makes Catholics tick.
02-17-2014, 06:28 PMEditing a commentJ2huggies: Yes Catholics are Christians.
And Peregrinator, that'd be what concerns me. The lack of understanding that leads some Protestants to dislike or fear Catholics.
An article in the Washington Post about a local Catholic church that has kicked out its BSA pack and troop and is replacing them with a TLUSA unit. Apparently there has not been a lot of impact in the National Capital Area Council as only two other troops have made this move out of 1700+ units.
Hal_Crawford commented02-16-2014, 11:12 AMEditing a commentI wonder if they expect their boys to be trustworthy?
RememberSchiff commented02-16-2014, 01:59 PMEditing a commentAccording to that same article, his diocese Cardinal does not agree with Father John De Celles, nor does Pope Francis. I see re-assignment coming.
02-16-2014, 08:57 PMEditing a commentAlways a shameful and scandalous to see a Priest who doesn't understand the Catechism. I see reassignment or forced retirement coming if he keeps preaching what he is preaching.

I inquired about TLUSA, but I don't attend, nor belong to, any church, so I guess I am out lol
If I didn't have so few hours in my day already, I might be tempted to apply as an adult leader just to see if a Quaker could Qualify. We are definitely not "trinitarian", and some of us might not be as Christian as some, but then I'd have to discuss the Light within (mt 5:16?)
Well, I looked a little farther and found this: http://www.postandcourier.com/articl...PC16/140219833 These two units were evicted out of 212 units in that council. But that area is what we call the 'low country' and it leans heavily toward 'Bible Belt' status. There is no mention of Trail Life and the evicted units appear to be finding other quarters. Not much impact so far, it seems.

I have no dog in this hunt, I'm Jewish, my Pack meets in a Synagogue, so explicitly Christian groups aren't of interest to us.
LDS uses BSA as their youth programming.
Many churches house BSA programs, thinking it's a good program and happy to offer up meeting space, but how involved with the Church is the Unit? We have some Packs/Troops here attached to private parochial schools and only open to students there, they run it as an after school activity. We have a few chartered to a Church but that meet in a public school and only recruit from that school, the involvement with the Church is on paper.
The question is, does the church want an outdoor Youth Program? If so, then TLUSA/AHG gives them a Christian Outdoors Activity for boys and girls respectively that will be able to be tied in to the church. If you are housing a unit where few if any of the boys belong to the church, then the church isn't getting anything beyond a service project out of the deal. If they want to have a program to build membership in their church, the status quo isn't working.
Existing BSA Units have their leadership structure in place. If they aren't church members, then I completely see why the church would consider an alternative program that they can tie into their religious program.
When we moved from Self-Chartered to the Synagogue we meet at, there was an extensive discussion about what that would mean. They aren't asking all leaders be members (I'm personally a member of a Synagogue down the road), but they want an all-Jewish group that keeps Shabbat/Kasher as a Unit at campouts.
If you are a BSA program that meets in a church and has no relationship to the church, I'd be VERY VERY wary... if someone wants a church youth program, TLUSA and AHG are offering an opportunity to replace your program. BSA guidelines let the CO shape the leadership but not the membership. I would suggest asking the church/CO how you can help, what they want, and actively recruit there.
For example, we combine a recruiting event with the Synagogue Youth Department Kickoff, and do our Pinewood Derby at their Purim Carnival and our Space Regatta at the Lag B'omer Bon Fire. We have made ourselves a part of the CO's program, which results in the CO being very happy with us.

BSA has benefited from these churches -- especially when it's stance against atheism got units removed from public schools.

Hefner and Crystal Harris tied the knot at the Playboy mansion on New Year's Eve, a year and a-half after she broke off their engagement a few days before the wedding. She's 26, he's 60 years older. But Harris said on E!'s "The Girls Next Door" that she never noticed the age difference. After the private ceremony, Hefner and Harris celebrated with Gene Simmons of KISS, Jon Lovitz and other stars. It's Hefner's third marriage, her first. Harris has already changed her name to Crystal Hefner on her Twitter page. She's posted photos of her in her wedding dress and the flowers decorating the wedding room in the mansion.

By studying the properties of rod and cone cells one can understand how the responses of these nerve cells shape and influence human visual behavior. We use isolated retinal tissue from normal and diseased animals to directly measure the electronic response of photoreceptors to light.
Transgenic animal models of retinal degeneration provide an opportunity to investigate precisely how photoreceptor response properties are altered in physiologically challenging environments. By studying diseased tissues we hope to gain new understanding of normal phototransduction mechanisms as well as learn about the progressive loss of photoreceptor signaling ability in retinal diseases.
Other experiments are aimed at developing novel therapies; these may involve the insertion of new genes targeted specifically at the rod photoreceptors. We are exploring the differences between rod and cone phototransduction and are seeking to identify the key molecular components which determine the electrical response properties.

Timothy W. Kraft, Associate Professor, Department of Vision Sciences and Scientist in the Vision Science Research Center (VSRC). He received his undergraduate degree in biology from M.I.T. and a Ph.D. (1985) in Physiology from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. His research into the neurobiology of color vision began at M.I. T. and shifted to primate retinal tissue during his postdoctoral years at Stanford and the Ophthalmology Department at the University of California at San Francisco. That work included the first electrophysiologic recordings from individual human rod and cone photoreceptors. His association with Ophthalmology Departments at UCSF and as a former Assistant Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at UAB, have lead him to incorporate the pathologies of photoreceptor degeneration and acquired color vision losses into his studies of the physiology of retinal signal processing.

On November 2 2011, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made a special visit to our Emergency Supply Centre in Copenhagen, to help put the global spotlight back on the humanitarian crisis in East Africa.
Their visit generated global news coverage and led to nearly £1 million in further donations to the emergency appeal in the UK.
Children across East Africa are facing a desperate crisis caused by drought, high food prices and ongoing conflict in Somalia. Over 320,000 children are so severely malnourished that they are at imminent risk of starving to death without urgent help.
See a video of the royal couple's visit.

WASHINGTON, DC - Congresswoman Shelley Berkley (D-NV) has been recognized by The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a national not-for-profit organization funded by distillers, for her outstanding commitment to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking. Congresswoman Berkley was one of 21 Members of Congress to be honored for her ongoing dedication.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association, there were 11,773 alcohol-impaired traffic fatalities in 2008, with 5,174 of them being persons between the ages of 12 and 20. Understanding the scope of this national epidemic, this year's award recipients joined The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility to help educate youth and their parents from middle school through college-aged students about responsible decision-making concerning beverage alcohol.
Congresswoman Berkley is a longtime leader in the fight against drunk driving and underage drinking and a co-chair of the Congressional Stop DUI Caucus. Most recently she sponsored a resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives to express Congress' support for the goals and ideals of Alcohol Awareness Month. Alcohol Awareness Month is designated as April each year and is designed to bring a heightened level of awareness to the issue of alcohol abuse. Congresswoman Berkley has also been a leading voice in advocating for DUI Courts and judicial education. A DWI court is a distinct court system dedicated to changing the behavior of an offender arrested for DUI.
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is a not-for-profit organization funded by distillers including Bacardi U.S.A., Inc.; Beam Global Spirits & Wines, Inc., Brown-Forman; Constellation Brands, Inc.; DIAGEO; Hood River Distillers, Inc.; and Sidney Frank Importing Co., Inc. Through legislation, education, and public awareness campaigns, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility promotes responsible decision-making regarding beverage alcohol, focusing on drunk driving and underage drinking. Since 1991, the companies that fund The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility have invested more than $175 million in its programs.

I wish your daughter, her family and the second grand child most of all to be healthy and well.
Now, there are Jana Cathedral editions to honor the love to your wife, how about editions to honor special occasions like the birth of your grandchild

Great to be back on Woot. I'll get on and off today. My oldest daughter, Paulette just headed into the hospital to have a baby. This will be her second and my second grand child.
Congratulations!! I hope all is well!

I'm at the hospital now holding a healthy 8 pound baby boy, Nathan Emmett. Both mom and baby are doing well.

I love Barbera, but I've experienced a large variation in drinking window, e.g. I've has many that were good to peak within five years, but I've also got some 96's that are just coming around.
What would you say for yours?
This wine is made to be a 12 year wine
ScottHarveyWines wrote:I'm at the hospital now holding a healthy 8 pound baby boy, Nathan Emmett. Both mom and baby are doing well.
Mazel tov!!!!! Cheers to you and your healthy family!
Congrats Scott!! Happy to hear to whole family is doing well.
We consumed a bottle of your J&S reserve Barbera last night (not know this variation would be up today) - delightful!
Back in 96 we were still making wines with low pH, so the wines have good ageability. Now so many people want to make all wines, including Barbera in the new world style and they just don't age.
Wonderful!!! Congrats to all!! Give that baby a sweet grandpa kiss!!
The 06 was great, so lively, but the 07 had too much port and things in it to please the crowds. However this is Barbera and wins fro its fruit-acidity and lively characteristics and I believe Scott's gone back to more pure basics, and I think this'll be much more like the 06 and the reserva and very very good.
I like Scott's wines because though some don't work, he tries to improve them every year and some of them are simply divine. He wins for his honesty, willingness to experiment and listen and engage with his friends and fellow palates!
First off, congrats on the newest grandchild!
Second, I want to thank WW for shipping this over the weekend. Where it hit 93° on Saturday, and 78° on Sunday, where this sat in Fresno (although I hope it was in City of Industry, where temps (69° on Sunday) were low this weekend).
Left Sacramento on Saturday at 4:32am, showed In Transit at Fresno at 7:40 am, and then nothing until Monday where it arrived in the City of Industry at 1:37 pm.
Will check bottles carefully, and open one as soon as feasible to check on it.
