Police: Man feared marijuana thievesBy ERIC FRANCIS
CORRESPONDENT | August 29,2014WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A Springfield man faces drug charges after he allegedly told police people were crawling around his yard and his house intent on stealing his marijuana plants.
Springfield Officer Craig Watrous said no intruders were found at the residence of James Blais, 59, on Carley Road. But he said he and Detective Anthony Moriglioni did find more than two dozen marijuana plants in various stages of cultivation on the property, along with several jars and baggies of harvested marijuana in the kitchen.
Blais pleaded innocent Wednesday in White River Junction criminal court to felony counts of marijuana possession and cultivation. He could receive up to 18 years in prison if convicted.
Blais was released on personal recognizance pending trial.
Watrous said police were initially called to a neighbors residence because Blais was on their porch acting out of it. When police arrived, they said, Blais told them about people who were after his marijuana plants.
Detective Moriglioni then asked if he did in fact have marijuana plants and (Blais) replied a couple, Watrous wrote in his report.
The officer said they found 22 mature plants growing in Blais garden and another four immature plants that had been started in cups next to the back door.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...

- Smooth and creamy with delicate banana flavor Review by Marcela
- Sunflower butter banana has very smooth and creamy texture due to significant proportion of sunflower seed butter, little crunch is added by sunflower seed garnish. Banana flavor is very delicate, which is fine for me because I do not like bananas but I like the sunflower butter banana truffle! I really appreciate brown rice syrup as a sweetener in this truffle.

Power Racks
Are a
Secret to Strength.
Here is a free piece of advice from Atomic Athletic President, Roger LaPointe,
"Really learn to use a power rack. I mean really learn to use a power rack and regardless of genetics, you can become the best lifter in your state. Learn all the training methods and little arcane details. There is a lot more there than anyone would suspect."
Real strength is never found without using some sort of free weight work, but you have to do it safely. A solid commercial grade power rack will give you the piece of mind to push your body to the limit.
At 7 1/2 feet tall, this power rack will fit in most basements and garages. The plate storage on the back will help you economize on space. You need a place to put your plates, this is the best way to do it. The rod support system is what you need if you are going to train isometrics, like you see in the Atomic Athletic Tendon & Ligament Strength Training DVD. Dimensions: Width 67" x Depth 60 1/4" x Height 91 1/2" Large work area accommodating multi-functional athletic training, (inside work area is 42" wide). Adjustable spotting rods lock in place enhancing user safety. Comes standard with pronated grip chin-up bar. Weight storage standard. Bar Holder equipped with plastic wear guards.

Because I would normally agree with you that "making something up" just to support three factions isn't the way to go. However, if these were really listed as part of the elder scrolls lore then it is what it is.
It would be like playing a game set in the civil war and bemoaning two factions as being contrived.

As it stands, ALL Nord players are in the Ebonheart, Nords will never be able to change that. Same for each race, they are each locked into their faction without ANY choice in the matter. That means you will never be able to change sides, even if you dislike your side. Take Argonians for example. They are apparently allied with the race that enslaves them. Are we ment to assume that absolutely no Argonians would say "screw this, I am not helping my enslavers, I am going to fight against them" because as it stands, no Argonian can make that choice. It sucks, isn't neccessary (except if you are lacking the will to add a bit of complexity to the game design of course which tehy obviously are not) and it removes one of the founding reasons why TES is such a good series of games, the freedom to play your character the way you WANT to play, not be forced into the way someone else dictates it.
Sure there might be lore to support these factions but to ask players to accept that no one fights for the opposition, no one dislikes the pacts made, no one lives in other areas of the world outside their homeland and most importantly no one chooses NOT to fight for any side, well that is just not TESO, at least in my mind. I love the TES games, look forward to a TES MMO...but this arbitary design choice just to give the world a 3 faction rigid, non negotiable design is just aother in a long line of recent design choices that basically take the fundamentals a an IP and screw it over for no real valid reason except making the design simplified when it really doesn't have to be. It is just lazy.

But that isn't any different from any faction based game.
What you are saying here is that you just don't like factions. Which is fine. But I'm unclear if there are many faction based games that allowed everyon of any race to pick their faction. Especially when the faction is represented as a unified nation.
The argument you put forth has been put forth in other factoin based games and the answer is that "it's a faction based game" not a sandbox game where people pick and choose and create their own factions.
which brings us back to whether they just wanted 3 sides and wrote the lore to support this or if there really were 3 factions, three fronts, in the history and therefore that time period fit.
however, as I mentioned, you can't play a civil war game without acknowledging that there are two factions. One can make the argument that there were people on both the north and the south who supported the other side but if you allow that in a game it's just goin gto break down.
It's not much of a civil war game if the entirety of the northern "players" are all on the side of the south.

I dont know what server you played on but on the Guinevere server, we Albions were constantly on the defensive thanks to cross realm teamwork with the Hibs & Mids. It was even worse once Darkfall was released. I don't think Darkfall ever flipped one time from Mid to Hib or vice versa. The only time DF was flipped from those other 2 realms was when we did it. However every time we had DF, we had it for less time then the other 2 realms combined. Hib or Mid would get DF and keep it for at least a few hours but every time we Albs got it, we lost it within 30 mins. True Story!

I don't mind factions. I don't mind the factions as they are currently in the game. What I dislike is the fact that I cannot choose my race, class and faction independently. I also dislike the fact that I MUST choose a faction. I would likw the same freedom to never choose a faction if I want in the same way I could choose to never engage in melee combat in any of the TES games if I wanted and just use magic.
If TESO is designed with the 3 faction PvP as the point of the game then I will probably have to give it a miss. To me a TES game is about the freedom to play how you want to play, get involved in the war or not, do the main questline or not, use magic or not, craft or not.
And all of the reasons I dislike how the game has been designed so far don't even touch on the limitations put into the game by these factions to world exploration. The argument that each faction is bigger then the explorable parts of previous games is moot, TESO has all these regions and the game is artificially impossing an impassible barrier to my ability to travel where I want. I couldn't explore outside Skyrim because the game didn't have anywhere outside Skyrim to go. Yes an invisible barrer, but one I can understand from a design point. The barriers that are imposed here are just a system mechanic. If the fact was I could travel into another factions lands but there was a geat risk of dying then that is a choice to make. But I cannot make that choice. It is the removal of freedom to choose that really stops this game being a true TES MMO in my mind. And so I have to agree with others that I think the game is DAOC 2 with a TESO skin. And imo TESO is the game they should be true to, not DOAC.

Well I totally agree with you there then. It certainly does sound like they thought "3 factions, pick the 3 locations next to each otehr and make them a faction...ignore any hostility these locations have to other faction members....I mean 3 faction PvP is cool right? It worked in DAOC so it must work here...right? RIGHT?".

But yes, you're right, the lore for TESO is all newly established. A lot of people just aren't convinced the Ebonheart faction is sensical because of the historical disdain that the three races have for one another. But like I said, this is acknowledged in the game's lore. Ebonheart plays the role of the "ragtag" faction you could say, they're reluctant allies. Compare that to the Aldmeri, where the two elf races have a history of good relations and the Queen has been friendly to the Khajiit.

I agree with OP. They seem to went in good direction and hopefully we will have balanced factions when it goes live.
About complaints on not being able to chose race and faction and lore inconsistencies. I like your RP enthusiasm, but you guys do realize if that's the main issue the game will have, then we can safely say that TESO will be the new MMO king.

only thing that will make this game playable after the first 30 days is if Cyrodiil is a persistent warzone; no throne or towers/camp resets; the PvE and solo experience is the same boring gear shit grinding; the races/faction lock is nonsense; at least, the devs could have let us create an imperial character that could join any of the 3 factions

They aerate and increase the fertility of soil and recycle dead wood. They are an important food source for other insects, spiders, reptiles, amphibians and birds, and are essential for the well being of the environment.
However, if allowed to feed within the walls of a house, termites can turn a small problem into a pain in the neck and a huge dent in the wallet.
"Termites are everywhere in the soil, and they are highly beneficial in the soil habitat. We want them in the soil," said Brad Kard, structural and urban entomologist at Oklahoma State University's Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology. "We just don't want them chewing on our structures."
Adult termites are now on a mission of starting new colonies in suitable environments. There are a few key points stressed by Kard that homeowners can implement to reduce the chance that termites will become a problem.
The first rule of termite management is sanitation, which is the removal of termite food sources near your home.
"A homeowner should conduct a thorough external and internal inspection of their home and if mud tubes are found they should be scraped off walls and siding," Kard said. "All pieces of wood and wood debris in the planter bed, dead shrubs and any paper or cardboard that may be on the ground near the home should be removed."
Included in this is firewood, which should not be placed against the house, and wood-chip mulch, which also creates a desirable habitat for termites. Kard suggests that a homeowner rake back any mulch at least six inches away from the exterior walls.
In addition, rain gutters should be kept free of debris and water should drain away from the house.
"Wet soil and water around or under a house creates conducive conditions for termite survival and proliferation," Kard said. "If sanitation and water problems are not first eliminated, then it's nearly impossible to manage and remove termites from a structure."
Those building a house can eliminate many problems during the construction phase. By simply making sure there is no scrap wood lying around the house during and after construction, including grade stakes used during concrete pouring and removing tree stumps up to 75 feet away from the house will help immensely.
All wood-to-soil contact must be eliminated, even if the wood is treated, Kard said. Other options for home-builders are making sure all stem walls are solid; using termite shields or stainless steel mesh on top of the stem wall; using preservative-treated wood; pouring a monolithic slab foundation, so that termites cannot find a hidden way up through cracks in the slab or cold joints; and possibly using post-tension-steel slabs to reduce slab settling and cracking.
"The general concept is building out termites during the construction process," Kard said. "By completing these steps, you have already avoided 90 percent of your potential termite problem."

Step 1: Materials and junk
Tape, or fast drying glue
Scissors, or craft knife
An old mouse mat
A London After Midnight album (I prefer Phycho Magnet)
Step 2: Chopalot
Then cut about 2-3" x 0.5" off the mousemat
Then cut that in half.
Step 3: Taping
If you can be bothred you can make an end piece and glue it on, i carnt be bothered.
P.S. I lied at the beginning, i dont think you can take them onto planes, because they're such a deadly weapon.
But It does help my slave captain practice his ominous drumming.
(Argh, that sounds gay)
The only think I could think of to make this any better is to have screw-on tips (soft and hard) like Snooker cues. However, that's probably going to cause problems.

FORT WAYNE(AP) — A Fort Wayne man who drowned in the St. Joseph River in that city has been identified.
Allen County Coroner's Office and police reports say the body of 58-year-old Jeffery Bultemeier was found in the river at Shoaff Park on Sunday.
Bultemeier's family reported him missing early last week, and his car was found by a boat ramp at Shoaff Park.
Police said Sunday that foul play was not suspected.
An area newspaper reported Monday that the death remains under investigation by police, coroners and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

Cancer chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Unlike radiation and surgery, chemotherapy is a systemic treatment, meaning the drugs travel throughout the whole body. This means chemotherapy can reach cancer cells that may have spread, or metastasized, to other areas. It also means that the chemotherapy will affect normal cells as well, producing side effects that may be unpleasant.
Chemotherapy for bladder cancer may be delivered by mouth, by IV, or instilled directly into the bladder in a process called intravesical chemotherapy. Chemotherapy may be given alone or in addition to other treatments such as surgery and/or radiation therapy .
Intravesical chemotherapy may be given to patients with superficial tumors that were removed through a transurethral procedure. This form of chemotherapy can be used to kill any cancer cells that may remain. Oral and IV chemotherapy for bladder cancer is usually given to patients with higher grade, more invasive cancers. Patients who already have metastatic cancer may also be offered chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy Drugs Used for Bladder Cancer
The following chemotherapeutic agents may be given to treat bladder cancer:
- Cisplatin
- Doxorubicin
- Gemcitabin
- Methotrexate
- Vinblastin
Chemotherapy drugs are often given in combinations. Your doctor will use information about your tumor grade and cancer stage to design an effective chemotherapy treatment plan for you.
Chemotherapy may be used for metastatic bladder cancer. While it won't cure metastatic disease, it may help increase survival time. Tumors that don't respond to chemotherapy may have a worse outcome.
Side Effects and Possible Complications
Chemotherapy to treat bladder cancer may cause the following side effects:
- Bloody urine
Bladder irritation causing:
- Frequent need to urinate
- Urgent need to urinate
- Pain and/or burning with urination

'Hairspray's' Maybelle making stage debut
HUNTINGTON — As the musical "Hairspray" builds to its dramatic finale, Rhonda Joplin walks into the middle of the crowd and belts out "I Know Where I've Been" with the kind of presence that makes you think she was born on the stage.
But somehow, the Huntington Outdoor Theatre production of the musical "Hairspray" is the stage debut for the 42-year-old.
Joplin, a Williamson, W.Va., native and now a faithful member of New Life Church, grew up in the church, but is having the time of her life this summer in "Hairspray," which lights up Ritter Park at 8:30 p.m. Friday through Sunday, July 19-21 and July 26-28.
Get there early as gates open at 6:30 p.m. for picnicking. The children's pre-show, "Disney Extravaganza!," and the community pre-show begin at 7 p.m. Bring lawn chairs or blankets, cooler, etc.
Performing this week for the pre-show will be HOT's children's camp, Bridgett's Dance Academy, a preview of Curtains Up Players' production of "Shrek: The Musical," and last but not least, H.O.T. alumni and Nashville singer/songwriter Stephen Salyers, who will be singing on Friday and Sunday.
Admission is $15; $13 for seniors 65 and older and kids 5-12; children under 5 are free. Groups of 20 tickets or more are $12 per ticket.
In the show, which tackles segregation in 1962 Baltimore through the eyes of groups of black and white teens and their moms who are trying to get their kids to be the next dance sensation on the popular "Corny Collins Show." Joplin stars as Motormouth Maybelle, the woman on a mission to shine a light on civil rights in 1962 Baltimore.
Joplin, who has been singing since she was 5 or 6 in the church, said she was hesitant at first to think about trying out for her first role in community theater.
"T-Anne See (a theater patron who attends New Life) sent me a text and said why don't you go audition for 'Hairspray?' and I was like immediately no way," Joplin said. "But then I felt like it was almost a thing I needed to do. She had already spoke to (H.O.T. director Helen Freeman) about me and Helen gave me the part which was a huge chance on her part because I am not an actress so for her to take a chance on me. I am really appreciative of it and it really makes me want to do more."
Playing the role of a seminal and powerful woman embroiled in the heart of the Civil Rights struggle has already affected her.
"What I like about the musical is how segregation comes about in that community," Joplin said. "I like the ending of that and it has really opened my eyes to how people were back then and so I'm reading more about it and about Frederick Douglass and slavery and looking into my own family history and it's really opened my eyes as to some of the issues that were back then that we really don't have to deal with now on that scale."
Joplin said she isn't the only one who has been impacted and thinking about race relations thanks to the humorous but message-filled musical.
"I was speaking to a lady at work and she came Sunday night and was saying she didn't realize the struggles that African-Americans went through but when I sung the song, 'I Know Where I Have Been' it really came to light for her," Joplin said. "That's profound because there is a lot of history behind the racism and segregation and just treating people badly because they are different. I think there are a lot of us walking around who because we never experienced it ourselves and it has not been out front that we blindly look away from it. That was amazing."
Freeman said that Joplin has been a joy because of her honed singing ability and her willingness to work extra hard to learn the acting side of the show.
"I was excited because Rhonda wanted to learn so much and was excited about learning," Freeman said. "She was really scared but she and I bonded quickly and she knew that I loved her and that she just really grew like crazy. ... She didn't have a lot of confidence in herself, but she then worked really hard and stayed and worked extra with me and her attitude is what is amazing. I told her that you know the Lord must have wanted you to do it."
Interestingly, Joplin is just one of four New Life choir members who are in the show. Miranda Pierson (ensemble), Barry Westmoreland (Seaweed Stubbs) and Christina Stradwick (Kamilah) also star in "Hairspray."
A Marshall student who also works full-time at Valley Health Systems, on Third Avenue, Joplin said at first she leaned on her friends from church but then got to know and be friends with so many folks who are in "Hairspray."
"When we first started out I was like at least I know three or four people but as we progressed I started making more and more friends and the cast is just free and you're able to be yourself.
Everybody has been so wonderful and it's just been one of the best summers I have had in a long time."
Known for her vivacious smile, Joplin said Evan Sullivan, a University of Kentucky grad who plays Link Larkin, commented on her perpetual smile and great attitude.
"Evan said you're always smiling and I started thinking about it and it's because I can't believe I am backstage," Joplin said. "All of these actors and actresses and I am among them doing one of the leads. That to me is amazing. When I go there at 6:30 p.m. that is my reality check. I am back here getting ready and I should be the one paying at the door to see the performance and here I am backstage. I think that is phenomenal. It blows my mind and I don't take it for granted. I always praise God and love on him while I am waiting and after the show, I thank him for getting me through it and ready to come back the next day. Every day is surreal."

Commander of 180th leaves for Joint Chiefs of Staff jobWritten by Danielle Stanton | | email@example.com
Col. Steven Nordhaus is leaving his post as commander of the Ohio Air National Guard's 180th Fighter Wing at Toledo Express Airport to take a position with a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.
Maj. Gary Bentley with the 180th Fighter Wing confirmed the decision Nov. 18 and said he didn't know yet who will be Nordhaus' replacement.
"We expect an announcement as to who the next commander is shortly but we don't know now," Bentley said. "It could be as soon as a couple of days from now."
Nordhaus was selected to become executive assistant to four-star Gen. Frank Grass, a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who is in charge of the country's National Guard Bureau.
Bentley called the move "unique" because normally such a high-level post would go to active duty personnel and Nordhaus is a reservist.
"It's because we've worked very hard to have what we call 'jointness,'" Bentley said. "The National Guard and active duty [personnel] work together seamlessly. When we go overseas to Iraq or Afghanistan, we go together."
Nordhaus has been commander at the 180th Fighter Wing since January 2011. Before that, he served as vice commander starting in August 2009.
Nordhaus graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1989 and continued training as a pilot in Texas, New Mexico and Florida.
In August 1991, he became an F-16 pilot out of Homestead Air Reserve Base in Florida. From there, he instructed at various places including South Carolina, Idaho and Korea.
He landed in Toledo in 1998 as an instructor and moved on to squadron commander and other posts.
The 180th Fighter Wing will honor Nordhaus at a celebration Nov. 25 at the base, where Nordhaus will perform his "fini flight" or last flight in honor of his departure as commander. Nordhaus will take off about 2 p.m. and land about 3:30 p.m., Bentley said. A cake and reception will follow.
"He's been a great leader," Bentley said. "I can't say enough positive things about him. He took a great wing and made it better and he will be missed."
Bentley is also leaving the wing. He decided in January that he would retire after serving 37 years.
"My story is, [Nordhaus] didn't want to stay here without me," Bentley said. "It's kind of a joke here."
Nordhaus was unavailable for comment.

'Jazz on the Maumee' hosts Clifford Murphy's 81st birthday partyWritten by Matt Liasse | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Clifford Murphy is inviting all of Toledo to his 81st birthday party.
The jazz musician and former owner of local club Murphy's Place said he couldn't think of a better way to spend his birthday than playing music with friends.
The event, taking place at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 6, is part of the "Jazz on the Maumee" weekly show at the Grand Plaza Hotel, 444 N. Summit St.
Murphy chose the house band that will play with him on his birthday, including Glenda Biddlestone, Scott Kretzer and Josh Silver. He said he is excited about playing with friends and fans, but not really about getting older.
"He's Mr. Talent," said Kay Elliott, executive director of the Art Tatum Jazz Heritage Society. "We believe you have to honor the heritage of jazz and everybody that has made Toledo's DNA jazz, and he certainly has."
The birthday celebration will also stand as a tribute to Claude Black, the Toledo pianist who died Jan. 17. Murphy and the band will play a collection of Black's songs during the event.
"Playing a lot of his music will bring back memories," Murphy said.
Biddlestone, who used to play on the road with Murphy and Black, will sing at the event. Because of her teaching schedule and choir meets on Wednesdays, this will be the first time she makes it to "Jazz on the Maumee."
She said she wouldn't miss Murphy's birthday.
"He's like my brother," Biddlestone said. "He's one of the greatest musicians I've ever met. He's just one of the sweetest souls I've ever met in my life."
Throughout the years, Biddlestone said her daughter, Sarah Williams, and Murphy often celebrated their birthdays together because they were only a day apart. Williams will be in attendance to celebrate with Murphy for another year.
Biddlestone also said it is important for the community to celebrate the vibrant music scene in Toledo.
"When musicians of [Murphy's] caliber have played all over the United States and have been asked to perform with some of the greatest musicians, and they come home … it says a lot about the musical community [of Toledo]," Biddlestone said. "It's good for Toledo to have someone like Cliff here. He really has been on the scene for so long and can teach people a lot."
Murphy was last in the news in 2011 when he decided to close Murphy's Place after the death of his partner, Joan Russell. Murphy said it is more enjoyable to play music without the hassle of running a business.
"She had done everything," Murphy said. "After she passed, it was just too tough for me to handle [business] and play. I'm playing now as much as I want to. It makes a big difference."
Murphy still plays locally "two or three times a week." He said age is not slowing him down and he never wants to stop.
"The music thing is such a learning game; the more you play, the more you learn and it gets more interesting," Murphy said. "That's the most enjoyable thing about it."
Murphy said he is still learning plenty at 81.
"You never stop learning," Murphy said.
Biddlestone said anyone can come to the event and enjoy themselves, even those who don't listen to much jazz.
"I think that people recognize a great musician," Biddlestone said. "Just like when you see great art. Even though you don't look at a lot of art, when you go to the museum and you see great art, you know it's great. I think that's the way Cliff is. He's such a good person and has given his whole life to music. And now he's 81 and is still playing. How many people can say that?"
There will be a cash bar featured at the event, valet parking and a buffet. The cover charge is $15, $10 for Art Tatum Jazz Heritage Society members and $5 for students with an I.D.

What path do (Roman) Catholics think that we can realistically take to undo the schism of the Reformation? How do we reacquire unity without compromising our defining distinctives?
I say this because it is currently the official position of the Cathlic Church (based on numerous statements of its Pope) that disunity is a scandal, and that ecumenical progress is an obligation for all Christians. For example:
"How can we not remember that the ministry of Peter (the papacy), the visible source of unity, constitutes a difficulty for the other Churches and ecclesiastical communities?" he said.The objective here is not simply "greater understanding", nor is it a productive collaboration on certain social issues between traditional Christians; we already have good progress on those fronts. It is "full communion". How does that happen? Can anyone sketch out to me a plausible version of future history where we do, in fact, reattain full communion within the next few centuries? What compromises can or should be made on either side, in ways that reflect the mutual value of the unique theological heritage of 500 years of Catholic and Protestant history? What will the "new Church" of restored unity, the one in the Pope's vision above, actually look like?
Speaking to thousands of people he said Christians had to return to the unity of the first millennium, before Christianity was split by the east-west schism of the 11th century and the Protestant Reformation of the 16th.
"I would like today, along with you, to pray to the Lord in a special way, so that the new millennium into which we have entered shall soon see the overcoming of this situation and the recovery of full communion," he said. (CNN, 2001)
I don't claim to even be able to offer any scenario for actual reunion (I have no idea), but I do have many thoughts on this issue, which is close to my heart, as it obviously is to yours also. My own efforts are largely concentrated on trying to clear up misunderstandings between various Christian confessions. It is more of a "negative" enterprise in that respect, and a "removal of roadblocks," (but with a very positive goal: increased mutual understanding, respect, fellowship, and edification between Christians).
In this regard, I am very encouraged by both the Lutheran-Catholic dialogue and the ECT initiative (Evangelicals and Catholics Together -- for those unfamiliar with it). I think they are the right way to go.
As to actual reunion, realistically-speaking, I don't expect it to happen (except perhaps with the Orthodox). The Catholic approach in such a hypothetical, as I understand it, is to allow considerable leeway in the governance of the pope of the church universal, allowing non-Catholics as much freedom as is possible to follow their own traditions, and utilizing a very light hand in "ruling."
Vatican II was largely about presenting traditional Catholic faith in more contemporary terms, without yielding up any dogmas. Hence, it's Decree on Ecumenism:
9. We must become familiar with the outlook of our separated brethren. Study is absolutely required for this, and it should be pursued in fidelity to the truth andI don't know how actual re-unification can take place because there is a certain "contradiction" or (more accurately) a paradox running right through the middle of authentic ecumenism: it is the effort to try to unite on common ground, yet with always-present recognition that there are principled differences that parties are not likely to give up anytime soon (and shouldn't be expected to give up).
with a spirit of good will . . . In this way, too, we will better understand the outlook of our separated brethren and more aptly PRESENT our own belief.
11. The MANNER and ORDER in which Catholic belief is EXPRESSED should in no way become an obstacle to dialogue with our brethren. It is, of course, essential that the doctrine be clearly presented in its entirety. Nothing is so foreign to the spirit of ecumenism as a false irenicism which harms the purity of Catholic doctrine and obscures its genuine and certain meaning. At the same time, Catholic belief must be EXPLAINED more profoundly and precisely, in such a way and in such TERMS that our separated brethren can also really UNDERSTAND it.
In other words, the ony "ecumenism" that seems to "work" in a practical sense is the liberal version of it, where groups give up their distinctives and thus find it easier to unite (as in the "United" denominations, which invariably came about as denominations were forsaking their distinctive traditions, not pursuing and defending them).
As I reject that form, as well as the other extreme of triumphalism and spiritual pride, I advocate a middle ground which is well-represented, I think, by ECT. We may not be able to literally unite, but it is a very good thing to at least talk to one another and find agreement where, perhaps, we did not realize it existed. That is more than adequate and encouraging in and of itself, given the backdrop of 500 years of division and mutual mistrust with Protestants and almost 1000 with the Orthodox.
I think C.S. Lewis's approach to ecumenism was quite wise. He had many close friends (several of the "Inklings") who were (or eventually would become) Catholic, including George Sayer, who wrote a highly-acclaimed biography (Jack: C.S. Lewis and His Times, 1988), Jim Dundas-Grant, Humphrey Havard, Fr. Gervase Mathew, Dom Bede Griffiths, Christopher Derrick, Fr. Walter Hooper, Sheldon Vanauken, Fr. Martin D'Arcy, and J.R.R. Tolkien, who helped him to convert to Christianity, by describing it as a "true myth."
Lewis himself held many views similar or identical to Catholic teaching (e.g., on purgatory), as somewhat of an Anglo-Catholic. In 1953 Lewis wrote the following in a letter to a friend who had become a Catholic:
Though you have taken a way which is not for me I nevertheless can congratulate you -- I suppose because your faith and joy are so obviously increased. Naturally, I do not draw from that the same conclusions as you, but . . . I believe we are very near to one another . . . In the present divided state of Christendom, those who are at the heart of each division are all closer to one another than those who are at the fringes . . . Let us by all means pray for one another: it is perhaps the only form of "work for reunion" which never does anything but good. God bless you.I am very much of this mind myself: I feel that people who are trying their best to follow the orthodox Christian traditions of their own denominations are kindred spirits in many, many ways, whereas the liberals and so-called "traditionalists" of my own camp, Catholicism (as well as the nominal Catholics not very committed to their walk with Jesus as a disciple), often seem like strangers to me. In my mind, I have much more in common with an ecumenical Calvinist or Anglican: people like you and Edwin Tait. I think that gets to what Lewis was trying to express.
(Letters to an American Lady, Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1967 -- letter from 1953, 11-12)
He made other similarly wise utterances in this regard:
That the whole cause of schism lies in sin I do not hold to be certain. I grant that no schism is without sin but the one proposition does not necessarily follow the other . . . what would I think of your Thomas More and of our William Tyndale? All the writings of the one and all the writings of the other I have lately read right through. Both of them seem to me most saintly men and to have loved God with their whole heart: I am not worthy to undo the shoes of either of them. Nevertheless they disagree and (what racks and astounds me) their disagreement seems to me to spring not from their vices nor from their ignorance but rather from their virtues and the depths of their faith, so that the more they were at their best the more they were at variance. I believe the judgement of God on their dissension is more profoundly hidden than it appears to you to be: for His judgements are indeed an abyss.In his essay, "Christian Reunion" (Christian Reunion and Other Essays, edited by Walter Hooper, London: Collins, 1990, 17-19) Lewis wrote:
(Letters: C.S. Lewis / Don Giovanni Calabria [25 November 1947], 37, 39)
Tomorrow I am crossing over (if God so have pleased) to Ireland: my birthplace and dearest refuge so far as charm of landscape goes, and temperate climate, although most dreadful because of the strife, hatred and often civil war between dissenting faiths. These indeed both yours and ours "know not by what Spirit they are led." They take lack of charity for zeal and mutual ignorance for orthodoxy . . . Let us, however, with mutual prayers pray with all our power for that charity which "covers a multitude of sins."
(Ibid., [10 August 1953], 39)
'That they all may be one' is a petition which in my prayers I never omit. While the wished-for unity of doctrine and order is missing, all the more eagerly let us try to keep the bond of charity.
(Ibid., 71)
All who profess themselves Christians are bound to offer prayers for the reunion of the Church now, alas, torn and divided.
(Ibid., 99)
As a Christian, I am very much aware that our divisions grieve the Holy Spirit and hold back the work of Christ; as a logician I realize that when two churches affirm opposing positions, these cannot be reconciled.
But because I was an unbeliever for a long time, I perceived something which perhaps those brought up in the Church do not see. Even when I feared and detested
Christianity, I was struck by its essential unity, which, in spite of its divisions, it has never lost. I trembled on recognizing the same unmistakable aroma coming from the
writings of Dante and Bunyan, Thomas Aquinas and William Law.
Since my conversion, it has seemed my particular task to tell the outside world what all Christians believe. Controversy I leave to others: that is the business of
theologians. I think that you and I, the laity, simple soldiers of the Faith, will best serve the cause of reconciliation not so much by contributing to such debates, but by our prayers, and by sharing all that can already be shared of Christian life.
If the unity of charity and intention between us were strong enough, perhaps our doctrinal differences would be resolved sooner; without that spiritual unity, a doctrinal agreement between our religious leaders would be sterile.
In the meantime, it will be apparent that the man who is most faithful in living the Christian life in his own church is spiritually the closest to the faithful believers in other confessions: because the geography of the spiritual world is very different from that of the physical world. In the latter, countries touch each other at their
borders, in the former, at their center. It is the lukewarm and indifferent in each country who are furthest from all other countries.
(Preface to the French edition of La Problem de la Souffrance, 1950)
. . . such silence need not mean that I myself am sitting on the fence. Sometimes I am. There are questions at issue between Christians to which I do not think we have been told the answer. There are some to which I may never know the answer: if I asked them in a better world, I might (for all I know) be answered as a far greater questioner was answered: "what is that to thee? Follow thou Me". But there are other questions as to which I am definitely on one side of the fence and yet say nothing. For I was not writing to expound something I could call "my religion" but to expound "mere" Christianity, which is what it is and what it was long before I was born and whether I like it or not
(Preface to Mere Christianity, New York: Macmillan, 1952, 7)
I hope no reader will suppose that "mere" Christianity is here put forward as an alternative to the creeds of the existing communions –- as if a man could adopt it in
preference to Congregationalism or Greek Orthodoxy or anything else. It is more like a hall out of which doors open into several rooms. If I can bring anyone into that hall I shall have done what I attempted. But it is in the rooms, not in the hall, that there are fires and chairs and meals. The hall is a place to wait in, a place from
which to try the various doors, not a place to live in…When you do get into your room you will find that the long wait has done you some kind of good which you would not have had otherwise. But you must regard it as waiting, not as camping. You must keep on praying for light: and of course, even in the hall you must begin trying to obey the rules which are common to the whole house. And above all you must be asking which door is the true one; not which pleases you best by its paint and paneling. In plain language, th question should never be: "Do I like that kind of service?" but "Are these doctrines true: Is holiness here? Does my conscience move me towards this? Is my reluctance to knock at this door due to my pride, or my mere
taste, or my personal dislike of this particular doorkeeper?"
When you have reached your own room, be kind to those who have chosen different doors and to those who are still in the hall. If they are wrong they need your prayers all the more; and if they are your enemies, then you are under orders to pray for them. That is one of the rules common to the whole house.
(Ibid., 11-12)
The real reason why I cannot be in communion with you [Catholics] is not my disagreement with this or that Roman doctrine, but that to accept your Church means, not to accept a given body of doctrine, but to accept in advance any doctrine your Church hereafter produces. It is like being asked to agree not only to what a man has said but also to what he is going to say.Lewis thus remains firmly in the Protestant camp insofar as he cherishes the right of private judgment more than the notion of submission to a higher human ecclesiastical authority, believed in faith to be protected from error and thus worthy of one's allegiance without fear of being led astray (i.e., the Protestant Rule of faith rather than the Catholic one). One can only wonder, however, what he would have thought about present-day Anglicanism? We know that he was firmly opposed, for example, to women priests.
And I remain in the Catholic camp for the opposite reasons, and I think G.K. Chesterton's observation is true:
It is impossible, I hope, for any Catholic to write any book on any subject . . . without showing that he is a Catholic.Yet I find myself in close agreement with (my favorite writer) Anglican C.S. Lewis's ecumenical sentiments above, and that gives me hope for a type of ecumenism that is respectful of the distinctives of different Christian communions (so that it is not liberal) but also is passionately committed to as much unity and "community" as is possible (so that it is biblical and charitable).
(Prefatory Note to The Everlasting Man, 1925 -- one of the books which most influenced Lewis)
John Wesley's famous Letter to a Roman Catholic, dated July 18, 1749, and published in Dublin, in the context of great inter-faith bitterness, expresses the same wonderful spirit:
Brotherly love is utterly destroyed and each side, looking on the other as monsters, gives way to anger, hatred, malice, to every unkind affection . . . Can nothing be done, even allowing us on both sides to retain our own opinions, for the softening our hearts towards one another, the giving a check to this flood of unkindness? . . . Be our opinions right or be they wrong, these tempers are undeniably wrong . . .Obviously, I don't think any of this rules out my own calling of apologetics (Lewis and I would likely disagree on that because he saw himself as an exponent of "mere Christianity" rather than as an advocate of Anglicanism or any other Christian communion -- though I did write two books from a strictly "generic Christian" perspective, even titling one Mere Christian Apologetics). I think apologetics can be done with charity -- as Lewis himself aptly demonstrated (though some will always be offended by it no matter how charitable one tries to be). And I think that disagreeing with a man's ideas is not the same as insulting him or being "disrespectful," etc.
I think you deserve the tenderest regard I can show . . . How much more, if you are a person fearing God (as without question many of you are) . . .
Let us resolve, first, not to hurt one another, to do nothing unkind or unfriendly to each other . . . Let us resolve, secondly, God being our helper, to speak nothing harsh or unkind of each other . . . to say all the good we can, both of and to one another . . . Let us, thirdly, resolve to harbour no unkind thought, no unfriendly temper towards each other . . . Let us, fourthly, endeavor to help each other on in whatever we are agreed leads to the Kingdom. So far as we can, let us always rejoice to strengthen each other's hands in God.
That said, I wholeheartedly endorse what I quoted above.

Las Vegas is a city rich in opulence. From the the indoor canal at the Venetian to the $66 million dollar statue of Popeye the sailor at the Wynn, it is very clear that no expense was spared when constructing these lavish casino-resorts that make up the world famous section of Las Vegas Boulevard. Vegas is also known as a Disneyland for adults with attractions such as the flaming fireball show at the Mirage's volcano; the various themed slot machines and table games and shows such as Cirque Du Soleil's Mystere at the Treasure Island. All of this creating the perfect setting for CES; the flashiest and most extravagant tech show in the world.
Our trip to Sin City began by going to the pinnacle of lavishness at the world renowned Caesar's Palace where ASUS was ready to unveil its' early 2015 lineup. Based on past years, this event was sure to have premium devices with an unbelievable price tag! This was a tech reporters Christmas, complete with headlines, bylines, taglines, live-blogs, live tweets and the flash of many cameras around the room. Each of these bloggers, Youtubers and tech journalists eager to capture every single second of this event for their audiences.
The following day ASUS invited the press to the Trump Hotel Penthouse Suite where they would get a more intimate one-on-one experience with the products. Here we got a chance to play around with ASUS' new offerings such as the Zenfone 2, ZenBook UX305; existing favorites such as the ASUS-made Nexus Player as well as ASUS AiO PC's, routers, projectors etc.
The Zenfone 2 was a phone unlike any other as it was meant to be accessible and get into to the hands of all. This was achieved hardware-wise by an ergonomic design featuring a curved back that fit perfectly in the curved grip of a human hand and a volume button that fell right in line where the index finger should rest (on the back of the phone). On the software side the 'tap-tap' feature allows the resizing and repositioning of the screen which is perfect for using the phone single-handedly or when loaning the phone to younger children. The impressive camera suite also stood out for us with features such as GIF capturing, a vivid HDR mode and night mode which allows for taking pictures in near pitch-black conditions.
Our favorite aspects of the Transformer Chi T300 was its ability to connect to the keyboard dock backwards (great for use as a tablet with a handy stand), forwards(for use as a traditional media laptop) or through a virtual connection via Bluetooth(great for plugging the the tablet into a projector, monitor or TV). The T300 possesses the perfect blend of productivity and portability with its array of sizes and the ability to detach its keyboard.
The following days, we had the awesome opportunity of touring the CES show floor. Some of the highlights and recurring trends we saw were 3D printers, which built figurines and toys; robots ranging from the size of a gumdrop to life-size all different functions such as a wearables (our favorite had to still be the ZenWatch), IoT devices (internet connected homes and automobiles) and other wacky and outlandish gizmos and doohickeys that the inventors believed would improve the lives of many.
Overall, CES 2015 was an amazing experience. A huge thank you to ASUS Campuslife for having us!

Courses: Visions of Mexico (HISTH317B01)
Spring 2008
This course invesitgates representations of Mexico and "Mexicanidad" (Mexcianness, or Mexican identity), with an emphasis on the history of images and visual culture in the 19th and 20th centuries. Our goal is to appreciate but move beyond art history in order to understand the social, cultural and historical factors that construct and are preserved in visual images representing modern Mexico, as well as our responses to them.

It is an exciting time of the year, as we embark on our Third Annual - Cultural Awareness Week program, held during the week of October 7 - 10, 2013. Our theme for this year is "Promoting Community Through Social Justice," which focuses on energizing the campus community and beyond to become global citizens. Our opening program, "Unveiling the Wall of Peace and Inclusivity," begins up with an exhibit, a welcome from Hilbert College President Cynthia Zane, and a keynote address by Crystal Rodriguez, the Executive Director of the City of Buffalo's Commission on Citizen's Rights and Community. Her presentation, "Social Justice: Living Through the Eyes of the Community," will address her experiences as a community builder and examine the roots of the movement as it relates to social justice through the eyes of the community. Not only will we have the pleasure of hearing about her culminating experiences, but our students have the opportunity to participate as well. The Wall of Peace & Inclusivity provides an opportunity to take time to reflect upon what it means to be inclusive and to understand the importance of respecting cultural differences. Using a piece of fabric provided, students will create a visual representation of what diversity means to them and answer the following questions:
1. What brings us all together as a community at Hilbert?
2. How do you promote respect for differences?
Fabric squares will be available in the offices of Student Life, Academic Services and the Student Success Center. Completed fabric squares must be returned by Sept. 23 to Denise Harris, Vice Provost of Student Engagement, in the Student Life Office in Franciscan Hall. The exhibit is made up of several unique pieces of cloth designed by students that expresses their perspectives on diversity and inclusivity. This is only the beginning of what the week has in store. Other events include but are not limited to: film viewings, panel discussions, drumming lessons, and much more.
The program is a collaborative effort between several offices including: Admissions, Academic Services, Campus Ministry, Career Development Center, Center for Excellence and Learning (CEL), Common Ground Club, English Department's Visiting Artist Series, Hilbert Reads, Honors Program, Human Services and Rehabilitation Services Department, Institutional Advancement, Leadership Development, Multicultural Affairs, Residence Life, Student Activities, and Student Success and Retention. Without the support of the entire campus community this event would not be possible.

It has a lot of glide and slip, so it doesn't always apply evenly around the edges. MAC Viva Glam Gaga is much lighter. MAC All Styled Up is much lighter, less blue-toned. MAC Pink Friday is just as blue-based, but it's lighter.

California Firm Posts $60,000 Employment Bond
AMS No. 233-12
Nadine Wilkins (202)720-8998
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 2012 Under regulations of the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA), S & H Packing Sales Co., operating in Los Angeles, Calif., posted a $60,000 surety bond.
The surety bond was posted with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to employ Anthony Moreno, previously named in PACA actions.
Moreno was an officer of Moreno Brothers Two Inc., Woodland Hills, Calif., a company that failed to pay reparation awards issued against it under the PACA.
Any PACA licensee wishing to employ persons who have failed to pay a reparation award, or have been subject to a USDA disciplinary action, must post a USDA-approved surety bond.
USDA will hold the $60,000 bond for four years, providing assurance to the industry that the company will be able to pay for produce purchased and to conduct its business according to PACA rules.
The PACA requires that all interstate traders in fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables be USDA-licensed. The PACA establishes a code of good business conduct for the produce industry. USDA is authorized to suspend or revoke a traders license for violating the act.
In the past three years, USDA resolved approximately 5,000 claims filed under the PACA involving almost $96 million. This is just one more way the USDA continues to support the fruit and vegetable industry.

Couture: I think Sonnen & Hendo would fight each other
"Yeah I think they'd fight," Couture said of Sonnen and Henderson in a recent interview with Cage Junkies. "They've wrestled each other for a spot on the Olympic team, they're wrestlers at the end of the day and now they're fighters, they're professionals, this is what we do."
When you think of some of some of the best wrestlers in mixed martial arts, three of the main names that come to mind, past or present, are Couture, Sonnen and Henderson. Spending years on the wrestling mat going up against multiple opponents a day, some of which could be acquaintances, has prepared both Sonnen and Henderson for a potential showdown.
Couture doesn't believe the fight would be about one man inflicting damage on the other, but instead it would be about finding out who is the best competitor and superior mixed martial artist.
"I think they'd be friends before, they'd be friends after but they'd go out there and compete and they know each other pretty well and it'd be an interesting competition," Couture explained. "I think they'd both put it on the line and fight when it came down to it."
