Nadia Bolz-Weber, Sarcastic Lutheran Pastor
I started reading Nadia Bolz-Weber's blog (Sarcastic Lutheran, http://www.patheos.com/blogs/nadiabolzweber/) ages ago, no doubt put in touch with it by another religious blogger I read, Rachel Held Evans (who wrote Evolving in Monkey Town as well as A Year of Biblical Womanhood).
Hey, what the world needs is a sarcastic Lutheran, maybe more sarcastic Lutherans, Episcopalians, Baptists, and Catholics. And I enjoy reading her blog, which regularly posts her Sunday sermons, in both a written and audio version (usually takes them to the middle or end of the week to get the Sunday sermon up).
Bolz-Weber is a recovering alcoholic, drug user, biker, and general hoodlum who turned her life around and came to the pastorate somewhat late in life. She founded the House for All Sinners and Saints in Boulder, Colorado, and writes about her church extensively in her blog and in her book Pastrix (which is the insulting way to refer to a woman pastor, and insult used principally by those who believe that a woman pastor is wrong, is anathema, heretical, non-Biblical, etc.).
I loaned her more-recent book, Salvation on the Small Screen, to my friend Sam, and his enthusiasm about it generated this post. In Salvation on the Small Screen, Nadia sets herself the project of watching 24 hours of Christian television, inviting friends to watch with her, and writing about it without being too snarky (which seem to me a close-synonym to "sarcastic"). Sam called me up mid-read to enthuse about the book, and told me that he'd like to have a book club at his church do the book.
The conversation led me to recall that I had another Nadia book, Pastrix, and to decide that it was time to re-read it. Even more excellent than the first time through, Pastrix is a book about a faith journey by someone who might seem unlikely to end up as a Lutheran pastor. That Nadia ended up as a Lutheran pastor makes me happy; wish she was in my town and that I could go to her church.
Being Biblical and Also Tolerant
Let's start tonight with a disclaimer: this post will be about Biblical interpretation, so those who read my blog for comments about books or movies might want to skip it.
In my good friend Rachel Held Evans' blog, she does Sunday Superlatives every week, and this one from Richard Beck of "Experimental Theology" interested me. He writes,
The problem at the heart of Protestantism is that the bible is unable to produce consensus. This isn't a theological claim. This is an empirical fact.
Sola scriptura produces pluralism. The "bible alone" creates doctrinal diversity. Biblical literalism proliferates churches.
And five-hundred years of Protestantism is Exhibit A.
The only way to get a single, unified church, as the Catholics will tell you, isn't the bible. What you need, rather, is a magisterium, a teaching authority that says, for everyone, "this is what the bible says."
And that's why there is one Catholic church and tens, thousands or tens-of-thousands of Protestant churches (depending upon how you count them).
Back to me: I grew up in the Roman Catholic church, so I know a thing or two about authority. I'm currently allied with the Episcopal Church, which doesn't have a magisterium or a Pope (the Archbishop of Canterbury being more the guy who chairs the meeting than the guy who makes the rules or appoints cardinals — the Episcopal Church has no cardinals, though we do have bishops).
As I've said to people dozens (hundreds?) of times, many of them my students in literature classes, the written word doesn't interpret itself. The long Jewish\rabbinical tradition of midrash illustrates the ongoing controversy about what this or that place in the Scripture might actually be saying and what it might mean. Same with poems, short stories, and plays.
On to the more-recent past. In a church I used to go to, St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church in High Springs, Florida, we experienced a schism in around 2004-2005 in regard to the New Hampshire church elevating Gene Robinson, a gay priest, to the position of bishop. I always thought that the situation was pretty much New Hampshire's business, but my pastor thought that what they'd done violated "the clear meaning of Scripture." When she said that, I laughed so hard to I nearly passed the sandwich I was eating through my nose — the goal of class clowns everywhere. My point is, Scripture's meaning is anything but clear, and both is and has to be the subject of interpretation, argument, disagreement, dispute. That's just the way it is, with literature, Scripture, any interpretation of the written or spoken word — including letters, emails, conversation, bumper stickers, billboards, and blogs (to name just a few).
Penny Dreadful
The show is called Penny Dreadful, and the name implies that it should be lurid and trashy — "penny dreadfuls" were the little booklets sold on the streets in Victorian England, costing a penny and containing lurid stories of monsters, vampires, adventurers, prostitutes, werewolves, etc.
Or I could just say, EvaGreenisinitiEvaGreenisinitEvaGreenEvaGreen, the actress about whom film director Bernardo Bertolucci (who directed her in The Dreamers), said "she's so beautiful it's obscene." Don't see what's obscene about it, but she is, indeed, beautiful — enough to be a Bond girl in Casino Royale and a very good witch named Serefina Pekkala
in The Golden Compass.
Green plays Vanessa Ives, who with explorer\adventurer Sir Malcolm Murray (Timothy Dalton, who played James Bond twice, in The Living Daylights and Licence To Kill) and adventurer Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett), fights all sorts of supernatural beings in Victorian London.
I Netflixed a DVD with the first 3 episodes, and was introduced to characters & setting. The second episode brings in both Dorian Gray and Victor Frankenstein — he's talking to Murray about the only goal of science being to distinguish between life and death, solve its mystery; later in the episode, having manufactured and re-animated The Creature, he introduces himself to his creation, "My name is Victor Frankenstein." As said Creature, whom Victor names Proteus, there's a very nice turn by Rory Kinnear, who must be Roy Kinnear's son (judging by the resemblance), though he has not Internet Movie Database bio to confirm that.
The third episode, "Resurrection," gives us rather interesting backstory on Victor Frankenstein. He's a 10-year-old boy, being put to bed by his mother. As they're talking, a dribble of blood comes out of her mouth, and then she coughs blood all over herself and him. She's consumptive, the situation quickly gets worse, and there's a funeral. Victor plunges into the obsession with re-animating dead flesh that will consume the rest of his life.
Benedict Cumberbatch
So, an awareness of Benedict Cumberbatch was gradually dawning on me. I'd not seen him in anything, but the new iteration (or "rebooot," if you must) of Sherlock Holmes was all over the Internet, with praise for his performance. And soon it turned out that a lot of the women I know uttered long libidinous sighs when speaking of him — which puzzled me, since I saw the pictures in the newspaper and on the Web, and found him perhaps a little plain, a little odd-looking.
Then the Alan Turning movie came out, The Imitation Game (Turing's title for the article that introduced what we now call the Turing Test, a test to see if someone has made a computer that most people would think was a person). I've long been fascinated with Turing, who not only broke the Enigma Code, by which the Nazis sent coded message during WWII, but was instrumental in creating the modern computer. And he was a major social loser, a first-class weirdo (a genius mathematician); I'm quite the computer geek myself, so interest in Turing's life was a done deal. And, perhaps most significantly, Turing was gay at a time when homosexuality in England was a crime, and he was harassed and oppressed for that.
The Imitation Game is excellent, and Cumberbatch is beyond great– he gets inside Turing in ways that are hard to believe. So the guy is a genius with math, with codes, with highbrow intellectual stuff, but he can barely understand how humans interact. His colleague Joan Clarke, played in the movie by Keira Knightley, takes the opportunity to explain flirting to him in a pub — her friend is flirting with Hugh, one of Turing's Enigma Project associates, and poor Alan has no idea what's happening, no idea how body language and facial expressions are a part of human communication, at least as important as (maybe more so) than words. She explains to Alan how you make other people like you, and he wonders why someone would do that — "I'm a woman in a man's field," she explains, 'So I have to."
Intrigued, I Netflixed a Sherlock Holmes DVD, and I very much like the episodes I saw. This version is not a period piece from Victorian London, but instead takes place in the 21st Century. Holmes uses both cell phone and computer, has John Watson as his friend\associate, and both helps Inspector Lestrade and has a rivalry with his brother Mycroft Holmes (just as in the original Holmes stories, so the big twist is re-setting the story in the present).
Holmes is as arrogant and dismissive as he's always been, through the b\w Basil Rathbone films and all the other versions, but he's arrogant and dismissive in interesting ways. Watson, whom he always calls "John," accuses of him of not caring at all about the people he's working for, helping– Holmes asks, "If I cared for them, would it help them?" John wants to know if he actually can help them if he doesn't care about them; the answer is a quick "Yes."
As you can see from the picture to the left, Cumberbatch is quite stylish as Holmes and has great hair. He's quite the thing onscreen, an actor that I pretty much can't take my eyes off. And as Holmes, he has much better hair than as Turing.
Martin Freeman, he of many screen and TV credits, including playing Bilbo in the recent Hobbit movies, is also quite good as Dr. Watson.
I might even go see The Imitation Game again. It's stuck with me all week, and I've taken every opportunity to talk about it with friends. G.W. and I had a nice conversation about Turing tonight — he's very knowledgeable about him.
And it's such a tragic story; Turing was a war hero, to whom England owed rewards and gratitude. Instead, he's convicted for homosexuality and given a choice between "chemical castration" and two years in prison. He chooses the castration, and it leads to very bad results (which I won't spoil for you her — go see the movie).
The Shelf Life of New Year's Resolutions
The topic of New Year's resolutions has come up a couple of times lately, understandably since New Year's is in 4 days. In one of my A.A. meetings it came up, and my friend Hugh said something along the lines of, "A resolution for a whole year!? I have to make a resolution every day."
And on the last Friday Five (a set of 5 questions) sent to the Dead Runners' Society listserv, the poster, Douglas Barry in Ireland, asked if anyone makes New Year's resolutions, and if so, what? Most of the respondents pretty much denigrated the notion of resolutions, in that they tend to dissipate much sooner than the year comes to an end.
I was speaking to friends David and John yesterday about this, and I told them I was going to post about the shelf life of New Year's resolutions. So I queried the Dead Runners' Society list, and got responses so far from Charles, Cher, Lynn, JimP, and Martha. All noted that it's kinda hard to get any space in the gym right after New Year's, since many have resoluted (resolved, I mean) to begin an exercise program or to be more faithful to their current exercise program. So the gyms are full of new people. (I'll have to test that at my gym, Gainesville Health and Fitness Center,
on Friday or Saturday (January 2nd & 3rd).
But the new people, who made New Year's resolutions to exercise, seem to drift away, and by spring it's a lot easier to get space in the gym.
I'll have to do an observation about whether or not the population of runners or cyclists seems up on Friday and Saturday as well — I plan a run each day.
I think it's intuitively obvious that New Year's resolutions are well-intended but don't by any means end up observed 100%, all year.
But I'm interested enough to observe the numbers, continue to ask my Dead Runners Society friends about their experiences, and do a little research into the topic. Perhaps the research will simply come my way in our local newspaper, on Slate.com, or on Buzzflash.com. Surely the media will cover the phenomenon, as it does every year.
I wonder if the picture below was taken right around the new year? As for me, I didn't see greater numbers of runners in my neighborhood when I ran on New Year's Day, January 2, and January 3 (today). I did go to the gym yesterday (January 2), though, and at just a random observation it seemed to numbers were up.
Cheryl Strayed a Household Name
And it's about time, too. Strayed's memoir, Wild, is now a movie set to go into wide release and starring Reese Witherspoon, whose presence should guarantee an audience. (I saw it yesterday, and it's an excellent rendering of the book. Reese Witherspoon is excellent, and Laura Dern, who plays Cheryl's mother Bobby, is a lock to get an Oscar nomination — she just radiates grace.)
The Internet meme this week was about the contrast between John Kracauer's Into the Wild and Strayed's Wild: From Lost To Found On the Pacific Crest Trail, as if they were actually comparable. In my brain Christoper McCandless of Into the Wild is batshit crazy, not to mention suicidal, whereas Strayed is pretty thoroughly mis-guided but not insane.. Yes, both go into the wild without adequate preparation, but their reasons for doing so are dissimilar — McCandless is unhinged and doesn't have any idea where he's going, while Strayed just wants to hike the Pacific Crest trail.
I'm a huge Cheryl Strayed fan — after reading Wild, I read Torch. As an online reader of The Rumpus (a magazine of literature, interviews, cartoons, etc.), I became part of the Dear Sugar "cult"; Sugar was the advice columnist at The Rumpus for years, and when her tenure was coming to an end, Sugar was "outed" as being Cheryl Strayed.
There's a collection of Dear Sugar The Rumpus pieces (seems a little dismissive and inaccurate to call them "columns," as they're pretty substantial) titled Tiny Beautiful Things, and it's on my bedstand, where I'm re-reading it just because it's so damned good. Strayed often replies to those writing in for advice by telling interesting stories from her own life, which she maneuvers into answers to the life and love questions asked.
Anyway, Strayed is soon to be a household word, and it's a good thing, too. In fact, I was listening to NPR the other day, and they were interviewing her and Steve Almond, who's a Rumpus editor. They said there is now going to be "Dear Sugar Radio."
Gillian Flynn
So, the first of her novels I read was Gone Girl, about 6 months ago, well in advance of the movie's release. I thought it was a page-turner, abundantly mean, interesting characters — Nick Flynn, who as we all know is accused of his wife's murder (Amy Flynn, Amazing Amy) when she disappears, Amy herself, Amy's parents, Nick's sister Margo. All sorts of evidence keeps turning up that makes it look as though Nick (who's a bit of a snob, a sexist, and a pig, as well as a bit of a drunk) probably murdered Amy and disappeared her body.
Won't say anything more, 'cause maybe some of you haven't read the book or seen the movie. BTW, I eagerly awaited the movie's release, since I'd enjoyed the book and since David Fincher (of Fight Club, Seven and Panic Room, among others) directed, and Ben Affleck & Rosamund Pike starred.
I next read Flynn's Dark Places, or at least I started it — had to put it down about 70 pages in, because I found it just too grim (which is sort of a compliment, really). It's about the survivor of a serial murder — Lily was a small child when her family was murdered, and she managed to hide in a closet. Her brother Ben is in prison for the murder, but she's doubtful about whether or not he did it — but also strapped for cash and therefore willing to take money from a group of weirdos obsessed with the murder for making a speech and answering questions, for handing over family pictures and other artifacts. Yuck.
Just too grim, but I picked it up and finished soon. In her acknowledgments, Flynn thanks her husband, whom (she notes) still sleeps with her every night "even though he knows how my mind works." Funny, in an arch and somewhat mournful way, huh?
A couple of weeks ago my friend Sam passed on Flynn's Sharp Objects to me, and it's my favorite of the three Flynn novels — it's protagonist and narrator, Camille Preaker, is a reporter in Chicago. Her editor assigns her to go back to her hometown, Wind Gap, Missouri, and rustle up a story on the murders of two young girls there. Stephen King, known for his generous book jacket blurbs and forewords, says that he "dreaded" the book's final 30 pages but couldn't stop turning them. He notes that afterward, the book "coiled in my mind like a snake." Exactly. Camille Preaker is in just about every significant way a mess, and returning to her hometown and her mother's house to investigate the murders doesn't mitigate her unhappiness one bit.
Recommend all three books and the Gone Girl movie. Hope someone decides to make a movie of Sharp Objects. Camille's mom, Adora, would be a great role — Susan Sarandon, Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, are you listening?
Begin Again
Does it sometimes seem as if Mark Ruffalo is in every movie? Well, he has done 30 movies in the past 10 years, according to Internet Movie Database (imdb.com). But I like him, it seems as if he's always good, he gets award nominations, and he's especially good in last year's Begin Again, a movie also starring Keira Knightley, about music and written\directed by John Carney, who wrote and directed Once.
Knightley plays Greta, an aspiring singer\songwriter, and Ruffalo plays Dan, a "de-frocked" record company executive and music producer. He's "de-frocked" because he's a drunk, and he's mis-behaved his way out of a job and a marriage (Hallie Steinfeld plays his daughter, and Catherine Keener is his ex-wife). Greta is from England, and she's 90% out of a relationship to the musician who's come with her to New York (played by Adam Levine, the frontman for Maroon 5).
"Begin Again" might be a musical instruction — to start over and play the piece one more time from the beginning. But of course it has more global connotations related to relationships and starting over, and so it is here. There's a magical scene early in the movie in which Greta is performing in a bar, and Dan is in the audience. She's clearly not a polished performer and is a little tentative, but as Dan watches you can see him come alive — he's taken with the strength of the song, and she (being Keira Knightley) is truly quite beautiful. As he watches, suddenly there's a drumkit and drummer behind her, then a bass player, then a violinist. At first I was confused — is this really happening?– but quickly I realized that Dan, being a music producer, is mentally supplying the song with the other instruments it needs for a realized production. As in Once, Carney is interested in how music works, how a song is composed and put together, and shows us just how that might be done with Greta's song.
If you've seen a few movies, you can easily see where this is going — Dan and Greta "meet cute" (as the expression goes), experience a little conflict, but ultimately agree to work together, recording her songs in a number of New York City locations. Dan rustles up backup musicians (including his daughter Violet, who surprises him by requesting to play guitar on a song, a skill he, absentee dad that he is, doesn't realize she has.
Thoroughly charming, and Knightley can really sing — as I noted, she's a little tentative in that early song, but she gets better, becomes more assured as she goes on.
So both Greta and Dan get to begin again.
Somerset Maugham's "The Razor's Edge"
I've been reading and very much enjoying Somerset Maugham's The Razor's Edge, recommended to me by Jesse Kornbluth, who provides a service called Head Butler (headbutler.com), where he makes weekly recommendations of books, movies, music, and occasionally products ranging from hair dryers to stereos.
Maugham's book is about the 1920's, mostly in Europe, a period that's been interesting me more and more in the last year, which puts me in range of the cultural zeitgeist (another movie version of The Great Gatsby was out recently). It started when Head Butler sent me Harold J. Arlen's Exiles and Amanda Vaill's Everybody Was So Young. The latter is a brilliant book, about American expatriates in Europe in the 1920's, especially Gerald and Sara Murphy, the prototypes for Dick and Nichole Diver in F. Scott Fitzgerald's book Tender Is the Night (which I read for the first time actually in Paris in 1972 and reread last summer).
When I mentioned The Razor's Edge to my friend Doug at lunch yesterday, he noted that it was the film that almost sunk Bill Murray's career — he was in a weak and not-so-popular remake of it in the 90's (it was made in 1946 starring Tyrone Power and Gene Tierney). I can't remember if I ever saw it — hardly a recommendation if I did.
The novel is about equally divided among Elliott Templeton, his cousin Isabel, and her temporary fiance Larry Darrell. Elliott is a socialite, a guy who gives great parties, flies from Paris to London when he needs new suits, and would rather die than miss a party where "important" people in society will show up. I don't find him very likable, but he's amazingly generous to his friends. Isabel is a Mid-Western girl trying to find herself in life, and when Larry and she break up, marries stockbroker Gray Maturin (who manages to lost just about everything in the Crash of 1929.
Larry Darrell is a seeker, something of a mystic, a 1920's prototype of the hippies we're more familiar with from the 1960's. He has a small income and no inclination to work, instead reading books, studying languages, traveling to India, etc.
Pretty sure I read The Razor's Edge when I was in college, don't much remember doing it, but glad to re-discover it and enjoy how well-written and entertaining it is, even though there have been times I wanted to reach into the pages and slap Larry, or slap Elliott.
Why I Love "Clueless"
Well, is it because I love Jane Austen, and Clueless (1995) is an insanely-dead-on riff on Jane Austen's Emma? Yeah, in part, but mostly because I'm a huge fan of Amy Heckerling's movies (she directed Fast Times At Ridgemont High and Making Mr. Right), and Clueless is a brilliant addition to the Heckerling oeuvre.
And it's so funny. Austen is the patron saint of funny, but Clueless takes it a step further, imagining Austen's heroine (Emma) as a Beverly Hills teen named Cher, obsessed with clothes, shopping, hanging out at high school, and (especially) re-arranging everyone's love lifes.
Cher re-negiates her grades, helping teacher after teacher understand how the grade she was originally given wasn't the actual grade she deserved — and receives plaudits from her father (a lawyer, a litigator, played by the always-solid Dan Hedaya) –"You re-negotiated your grades? Well done!" And she successfully match-makes one of her teachers, played by Wallace Shawn.
But finally, as it happens in Emma, Cher is dreadfully wrong in her matchmaking career — she fails to notice how Travis Birkenstock (love that name!) is the perfect match for her friend Tai, played by Brittany Murphy (now sadly deceased). They're party girls, thinks Cher, and will match up best with the glittery boys, the most popular guys in the school. Cher's other BFF, Dionne, is played by Stacey Dash.
Truth is, Cher is snobbish and class-conscious, and her politics are less than admirable. She thinks that Travis, who's a skater and overall a bit of a hippy, is below her friend Tai, who like Cher is a rich girl, mostly interested in shopping. And Cher completely overlooks her stepbrother, Josh (played by the admirable Paul Rudd) — after all, he's a bit of an environmentalist and a supporter of liberal political causes (but he's also a lawyer and does some work for her father).
Like Emma, though, in the end Cher wises up and actively promotes that Tai\Travis alliance — and hooks up with Josh, whom she has had comfortable conversation after comfortable conversation with throughout the movie without realizing that she's in love with him.
As the title has it, clueless.

Can someone name this rose?
SdlMNovember 19, 2012
I got it at callaways, it said it was a mini... It's light orange on bottom and pink on top with dark green foliage. If like to find out the name so I can know its mature size. Thx :)
Looks like it could be either "old country charm" or "Tulsa charm" (assuming that the tag indicating its mini type is correct).
Don't know that much about minis but those blooms do not look very mini to me.
Is it fragrant?
If its not a mini, could be any of the following: Heart O' Gold, Strike It Rich or maybe Eve of France

10 inspirational women engineers and scientists
There's evidence that STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) interest by women is starting to grow – for example, for the first time ever, the University of California, Berkeley reported this month that its intro to computer science classes attracted more women (106) than men (104) – but even so, girls (and boys) could use more STEM inspiration by example.
International Women's Day falls on March 8. A large part of the day involves celebrating the success of women. In the following pages we celebrate 10 women whose work is inspirational or who take steps to inspire in engineering or related fields.
Odds are you haven't heard of many of the women we've included in this list. While their names aren't Grace Hopper or Lady Ada Lovelace, read through for a small sampling of this current generation of engineers, entrepreneurs, and encouragers, and see what they are doing to share knowledge and inspire more STEM in the world.

Love the card
Snapshot Sweetness Save the Date Cards My best friend who got married last year recommended me to order thru magnetstreet. It was simple to create and go thru the ordering process. I think the hardest part was choosing from the many great variety. Although my order was delayed due to the package being misplaced by ups, the customer service rep was quick to respond and offered to rerun if it didn't arrive within a couple of days. Luckily it was located and we were very pleased and loved how the save the date cards turned out. The stock card is a great quality and the price was awesome. If I had any criticism, it would be that you can only order in a qty of 25 increments but it didn't stop us from ordering and we plan to order our wedding invitations as well.
Great product!!
Striped Glory Save the Date Cards I stumbled upon this website on accident and I am SO THANKFUL that I did. I have been looking everywhere for Save the dates that we could get in our colors! It was so easy, and had so many options to pick from. And they even found an error on my proof and emailed me to ask me first! I am so pleased with the product! I will for sure be getting my wedding invitations from this site as well!! A+++++!
Fetching Frames Save the Date Cards Our save the dates came out beautifully. Although the card itself was a bit smaller than I had expected (my own fault - I mean, the dimensions are right there for anyone to see!) the images came out beautifully and everyone loved the cards. The best thing about this experience was definitely the ability to personalize everything and anything about the cards and to see the colors and changes right there on the screen BEFORE placing the order. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to purchase save the dates or invites!
Good Value
Modern Chalkboard Save the Date Cards The cards were perfect for what we were looking for and a good value for the money, especially with a coupon. Customer service was also very responsive when we had a problem and fixed it right away. Everything came on time wrapped very nicely. I would definitely use them again!
Amazing cards
Sketched in Love Save the Date Cards Got both my save the date and wedding invitation from here and they did a fabulous job! They sent me coupons so I never paid full price. They also called me when they thought a certain font was too hard to read and worked with me on changing it to make it perfect before printing. Great customer care and great products!

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
01 Sep 2010 07:48 GMT | Europe, US & Canada, United States, Yemen
The US homeland security department has said people should not jump to conclusions after two Yemenis were arrested by Dutch police after arriving in Amsterdam on a flight from Chicago.
Authorities in Washington on Tuesday said that the matter may have been a misunderstanding.
"This matter is under investigation but as of right now, these two passengers have not been charged with any crime in the United States and we caution you against jumping to any conclusions," the department said in a statement.
"This incident illustrates how airport security protocols, law enforcement co-operation, and prompt international information sharing allows us to respond quickly to potential threats," it said.
Dutch authorities arrested the two men over reports that the pair were carrying "suspicious items" in their luggage. US security officials alerted authorities in the Netherlands after they reportedly found a mobile phone taped to a bottle, along with watches, a box cutter and knives.
ABC News, a US television broadcaster, said that one of the men was carrying $7,000 in cash.It identified the pair as Ahmed Mohamed Nasser al-Soofi and Hezam al-Murisi, who are both reported to be of Yemeni descent.
Dutch arrest
Dutch airport police said that the men were arrested at Schiphol airport on Monday morning "at the request of the judicial police," but did not elaborate.
ABC News said the men boarded United Airlines 908 flight from Chicago to Amsterdam despite a number of security concerns, beginning in Birmingham, Alabama, where Soofi appeared to have started his journey.
Security staff at Chicago's O'Hare airport reportedly stopped him because of his "bulky clothing", and uncovered $7,000 in cash, before opening his luggage.
The US homeland security department said in a statement it had informed Dutch authorities that two men flying to Amsterdam had packed "suspicious items" in their luggage.
But it said that the "items were not deemed to be dangerous in and of themselves", adding the matter was still under investigation.
A US law-enforcement official said the men did not have banned items in their carry-on luggage and that federal air marshals were on the flight.
Michael Barrett, a security and risk management expert and former strategy director of the White House's National Security Council, told Al Jazeera that the arrests were "an extremely serious discovery".
"What it shows is that there's a continued interest in aviation as the location of a threat for terrorist strikes. But what's really important here is this actually shows a strike emanating from the US," he said.
"It does appear that this potentially is a dry-run - a test attempt to see how the security system works. The good news is obviously that the security system worked and found them; the bad news is potentially there can be many more attempts just like this.
"These kinds of plots that actually originate within the US are much harder to find. We in the US have a very strict system by which we monitor the interactions of law enforcement with the general public and we're going to have to take a look at whether or not that's still going to keep us safe."
Conflicting reports
In the hours that followed the arrests in Amsterdam, there were conflicting theories about whether the episode was a misunderstanding or a genuine threat.
Several US media sources reported that Soofi, after commencing his journey in Birmingham, checked his luggage on a flight bound from Chicago for Yemen, with scheduled stops in both Washington's Dulles airport and Dubai.
Reports said the pair then boarded a flight to Amsterdam, and when officials at Washington's Dulles airport realised that Soofi was not on the same flight as his bag, they recalled the flight and removed the luggage.
But the New York Times said Soofi checked his bag onto a Yemen-bound flight from Birmingham, parting ways with his luggage in Alabama rather than Illinois.
Amid limited details about the incident, there were suggestions that it could turn out to be have been an unusual but harmless misunderstanding.

Replacement Windows in a 150-year-old house?
We live in the Northeast and have been toying with replacing the 150+ year old windows in this house for years. It's an old home with lovely details/charm, but not on any historic registry so we don't have any confines in that sense. I will miss the wavy glass and wood frames, but not the chipping paint, four dirty surfaces (window and storms) that are impossible to clean, and the wood pieces I have to prop in the windows to keep them open--the ones that aren't painted shut, anyway! With three little kids, this is the kind of "charm" that's quite frustrating!!
There are 39 windows to replace, so we don't want to go any higher than $350-400 if possible per window. Suggestions on brand? We have wood now but would prefer something with less upkeep--vinyl?
(I LOVE gardenweb and designed/rennovated my entire kitchen with advice from these forums, but I do realize that the general advice tends to be very high-end/costly--hoping to stick to a reasonable budget on this one...)
Thanks so much for any suggestions and help...these forums are so helpful!!
Sarah from Albany
You are going to have to deal with the expense of an RRP (i.e Lead Paint) removal.
You will not even approach (i.e. in the same stratosphere) the $400 number on a quality wood window, installed price.
If you like the character of the windows, look into a good painter and a good storm window.
Tearing out historic wood windows when a storm window combination might work, to put in a cheap vinyl replacement is not advisable.
+1. I would look at storm windows with LoE glass and additional insulation around the windows. The cost of lead paint containment alone is going to be around $100 per window so that only leaves you $250-$300 including labor. It can be done but you would be putting a very cheap quality window in that is likely worse than what you have now.
If your home has poor attic and wall insulation, I would look more towards improving on that than I would about windows. Have you had an energy audit done? If not, that's where I would start.
OK, just switched up my post and opened a new thread (plus, changed my math--1871 to 2012 doesn't quite hit 150+, but close!)
Looking for advice on contractors that might do this repair. We have so many other projects going on and barely time for our kids as it is--can't imagine taking on another DIY project like repairing the windows.
(never counted # of windows before--41 plus 5 on basement! Ugh!)
Thanks for all the advice :)
Did not click--thanks for the warning. Have since switched to getting new replacement storm windows--just couldn't get rid of the windows, and from what I've read, they are actually in pretty decent shape, given the age.
Thanks again for the responses!

Presencia del lorito bandazul Halichoeres cyanocephalus (Pisces: Labridae) en arrecifes someros del Caribe colombiano
Garzón-Ferreira, J.
MetadataShow full item record
The yellowcheek wrasse Haliocheres cyanocephalus (Bloch) is registred by the first time for the Colombian Caribbean. In spite of extensive diving in most reef areas of Colombia since 1980, H. cyanocephalus was observed only in four occasions at the Tayrona Natural Park, the Urabá area, and San Andrés islands. The fish is known to occur in deep waters but in Colombia it was found only in shallow (7-15 m in depth)reef environments. Eight species of the genus Halichoeres are now known from the Colombian Caribbean.

Great Pasta Machine!
The Pasta Machine I purchased is a good Heavy Duty device made for the Home Cook. I will be able to not only make Spaghetti and Linguini, but Ravioli and Lasagna as well.Read More

Bought this for a holiday gift for my foodie friend. She's enjoying it and finds its like cooking and crafting in one!Read More
Pasta MAchine
THis pasta machine is a good size for making pasta for home cooking. My son, a trained Italian chef, found that it does not crank the pasta out smoothly and there are jagged edges on the machine that will not allow the pasta to go through properly. All in all, for home pasta making, it worked well.Read More
Good value
Fun to make noodles with grandchild . This is a simple, basic machine, easy to use .Read More
An executive chef by trade, I was hesitant to buy a pasta machine made in China, especially for such a low price. I considered the more expensive Italian machines were the way to go, but I took the risk and purchased this one anyway. Ironically, one of my sous chefs brought his own Italian machine to our restaurant the day after I received delivery of my own. Mine had greater weight, superior construction, and a wider roller. When I told my sous what I paid for mine, he was furious (but I was giddy). This is simply a great machine. I not only use it for pasta, but for rolling marzipan and gum paste for cake decorating. By all means, get this machine!Read More
Great Product
I love this pasta machine and it is much more than was described in Overstock's website.I have made 3 huge batches of my grandmother's raviolis and they were perfect thanks to my new pasta roller.It also was a huge bargain compared to the same machine at my local kitchen shop. Their price was 3 times that of Overstock's and they charged $49 extra for EACH cutter whereby I got 2 extra cutters with my pasta machine from Overstock.It cleans beautifully and is extremely efficient.Any one wanting to make home made pasta will love this machine.Read More
A great value
This is an excellent product for the money. Sturdy, simple, basic, and it does what you need it to do. Pretty much exactly what they use in Italy. Please note that it comes with very minimal and very sketchy instructions, so, if you never used a pasta machine before you might have to consult a website. The knob for adjusting the width of the rollers is a bit hard to get used to, and the cranks for the rollers don't lock in very well, so you have to take care with them. They are meant to be easily removable for storage, and it's not a problem once you get used to it. The first time I used it, it made beautiful and delicious pasta, almost perfectly cut, but be sure that you have a good recipe; otherwise, you will not get good results. And be sure to consult a website re: technique.Read More
Worked great for a year, then dead
I really enjoyed this for a year or so (maybe 30 uses). However the gears are now completely stripped and it is garbage. Don't really feel like it was worth the money. Buy something better made.Read More
Can't complain!
So far we have only used the machine twice, but it worked great. We had no problems with the dough sticking to the machine or the handle falling off as others stated. It clamped down easily to our counter and flattened the dough with minimal effort. Spaghetti was fresh and fabulous! My mom was so jealous; looks like we are going to have to buy her one for Christmas!! Considering we had been hand rolling and cutting our pasta, we couldn't be happier! Definitely worth the money.Read More

Fantasy: Football 2012 Mock Draft 1.0
(178) Team Brown - Neil Rackers, K, Redskins
(179) Team Thorpe - Plaxico Burress, WR, Free Agent
(180) Team adamson - Brandon LaFell, WR, Panthers
Round Sixteen
(181) Team adamson - Kendall Wright, WR, Titans
(182) Team Thorpe - Ryan Grant, RB, Packers
(183) Team Brown - Mike Nugent, K, Bengals
(184) Team 9 - Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Steelers

(190) Team Charlesworth - Jason Hanson, K, Lions
(191) Team 2 - Kendall Hunter, RB, 49ers
(192) Team 1 - James Jones, WR, Packers
Rounds Thirteen through Sixteen analysis: Best picks: Ryan Fitzpatrick (No. 153), Andrew Luck (No. 156), Brent Celek (No. 160), Jon Baldwin (No. 162), Brandon Jacobs (No. 166), Kendall Wright (No. 181) and Isaiah Pead (No. 189). Now it is safe to fill in your roster with D/ST, kickers and fliers. As you can see, there's still a lot of good tight ends on the board (Celek, Keller, Winslow and Gresham).
My Picks: The Packers (No. 154) and Cowboys (No. 159) both have elite playmakers on defense. Not every defense is the Ravens or Niners, so I usually look for teams with elite guys, because you know you will get plays out of them no matter what. An example would be drafting the Bills (No. 171) because of Mario Williams. Neil Rackers (No. 178) and Mike Nugent (No. 183) are kickers and required. Nuff said.

Ok, lets be honest.
Have you, anyone in your family, a co-worker or friend bought car insurance after watching a "Progressive", "The General" or "Liberty" commercial?

I must admit, when looking for new insurance, I looked at Progressive. Not only did I not want to give its founder any money, e-surance was cheaper. Then, when they raised my rates, and explained it as not really raising my rates, I went through AAA.

I don't know about car insurance with Liberty, we use USAA Military connection but when DH got hurt on the job they put us with Liberty Mutual for worker's comp and they have treated us like gold, best surgeon and all sorts of perks for script and equipment. We had Nationwide for over 35 yrs when we moved from Ocala to here, they doubled our cost because we are within 25 miles of Orlando, then after the '04 hurricanes, 1st claim after 3 homes, 9 apt units in NY, no claims, they dropped us because we needed a new roof. Nationwide is On Their Side, pfffft They are all thieves.

RIP Rod McKuen, the 'Poet Laureate' for us members of the 'raging hormones brigade' of the 60's and 70's..."Love is a sweet thing caught a moment and held in a golden eye".
I don't know what it means, either, but I do know that a few lines from "Listen to the Warm" was almost a guarantee to, to...a home run.
In the sixties a friend of mine in St. Paul had an overnight radio program where you could make requests via Western Union(remember that )telegrams and on Saturday 'nites all he got was requests for(as he called him )Rod McCutsie's spoken 'songs'.
Maybe this should be on the Nostalgia Wall ?

Ok, so this doctor and his wife went to a restaurant and after they were seated the waitress gave them their menu's. While she was waiting for their order's she was absently scratching her arms and face.
"Do you have eczema", asked the doctor?
"Nooo, just what's on the menu".

The 'blue-blood' Republican country-club class establishment won again and Boehner is still in charge.
So we can run Mit or Jeb against any Democrat, I don't think it'll be Hillary(too much baggage )but it won't matter. Both of them are losers, but nice guys. And as we all know; nice guys finish last!

Happy New Year.
The good Doctor's column is almost Reganesque; defeat Communism with money.
However, in President Reagan's case it worked and he was able to destroy the Soviet Union economically and the Soviets knew we could also destroy their ICBM's. Remember SDI, aka 'Star Wars' missle defence system?
Cuba doesn't need US goods, from the US. Our goods are supplied third hand through Cuba's world wide trading partners.
BHO is doing it for purely political reasons and to support Communism in the Northern Hemisphere, not to help the oppressed citizens of Cuba.
