The legacy of 'El Jefe' ― Filo M. Sedillo
(La Historia del Rio Abajo is a regular column about Valencia County history written by members of the Valencia County Historical Society.
The author of this month's column is a professor of history at the University of New Mexico-Valencia Campus and a past president of both the Valencia County Historical Society and the Historical Society of New Mexico. He is the author of 17 books on the history of New Mexico, including his latest, "Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem in Valencia County," co-edited by John Taylor.
Information for this column was drawn from newspaper accounts and interviews, especially with Corrine Sedillo, Judge Filo Sedillo's daughter-in-law and long-time employee.
Opinions expressed in this and all columns of La Historia del Rio Abajo are the author's only and not necessarily those of the Valencia County Historical Society or any other group or individual.)
The date was Wednesday, Oct. 29, 1980. It was 5 p.m. when 71-year-old District Court Judge Filo M. Sedillo left the Los Lunas courthouse after another busy day on the bench.
We can only imagine what he was thinking that afternoon as he got into his 1976 Monte Carlo for his usual drive home to Belen.
He might have been thinking about the things he enjoyed most, including his cabin up in the Jemez Mountains. He and his sons, Filo Jr., "Bobo," and Raul, spent many summers at the cabin, hunting and horseback riding through the countryside.
Or Judge Sedillo may have been thinking about his own father, Antonio A. Sedillo. The judge truly admired his father, a man who had worked hard as a laborer, a store clerk and a teacher while studying law and entering the bar in 1900.
A Republican, Antonio Sedillo held many important political offices, from a local school board member to a member of the University of New Mexico's Board of Regents and speaker of the state House of Representatives.
Most importantly, he served as one of a hundred delegates to the 1910 convention that wrote New Mexico's state constitution on the eve of statehood in 1912. Coming from a political family, it was as if politics were in Judge Sedillo's DNA.
Early Life and Career
Thinking of his father, Judge Sedillo might have reflected on his own political career. Born on Dec. 14, 1908, to Antonio A. and Donaqiana Sedillo, he was one of five children, including two brothers, Juan and Rufino; and two sisters, Mela and Tula.
From an early age, he was known simply as "Filo," a nickname used by his family, friends and even his political adversaries over the years.
Young Filo went to school in Albuquerque, graduating from Albuquerque High School in 1928. He attended St. Louis University, the University of Virginia and George Washington University, where he earned his law degree in 1933. His education completed, Filo headed home to Albuquerque to hang out a shingle and begin to practice law.
But Albuquerque had more lawyers than clients during the Great Depression. Filo made up his mind to move to El Paso to offer his legal skills in new surroundings. His father might well have suggested this option, having passed the bar in Texas in 1899, beginning his own successful legal career at age 23.
As he drove south toward El Paso, Filo stopped to visit Fidel Delgado in the small railroad town of Belen. Delgado told Filo that Belen lacked lawyers and a good young attorney would be wise to move in and start a practice. Filo took his friend's advice, opened his office the next day and began a legal career in Valencia County that would span more than four decades.
Entering Politics
Filo Sedillo was not in Valencia County long before he entered local politics. He and a small group of like-minded friends created an independent political organization called the Native Sons of New Mexico, with Filo as its leader.
Filo joined the Valencia County Democratic Party in 1935 and soon rose in leadership roles. Although his family had long been Republicans, Filo said that seeing long bread lines in Washington, D.C., made him change his political affiliation.
He was disappointed that Republicans in the Herbert Hoover administration were not doing more to help the poor and end the Great Depression. He hoped that Democrats, led by Franklin D. Roosevelt, might act to help create new jobs and restore economic prosperity.
Filo remembered how small the Democratic Party in Valencia County had been when he first joined its ranks. Only six party members attended Filo's first meeting. Elected the group's secretary, Filo claimed the party had been so inactive that its "records were delivered to (him) in a match box."
Republicans, led by powerful men such as Solomon Luna and J. Francisco Chaves, had dominated Valencia County politics for so long that Democrats seldom won elections and didn't even bother to run candidates in some elections of the early 20th century.
But the political winds had begun to shift with the rise of Democratic leaders such as Dennis Chavez, Clyde Tingley, John E. Miles and, nationally, Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s. Riding these shifting winds and impressing all who knew him, Filo entered politics, first serving as the president of the Valencia County Board of Education and then as an assistant district attorney by 1937.
In 1938, Filo won his party's nomination for State Attorney General, drawing praise from many sources. A newspaper in Las Cruces admired his fluency in English and Spanish, a skill that clearly helped him win his "political spurs" at such a young age.
A letter writer in Santa Fe added that Filo was "the smartest young politician in the current campaign." The writer suggested that New Mexicans "Keep your eye on that boy. He should be senator someday."
Twenty-nine-year-old Filo Sedillo beat his Republican opponent, James McCall, 85,220 votes to 67,727, making him the youngest attorney general in New Mexico history. He had only been a lawyer for four years. His mercurial rise in state politics was unprecedented.
Filo returned to his private practice in Belen at the end of his two-year term as attorney general. He would serve in various appointed positions and run unsuccessfully for public office (a judgeship in 1942) but, by the late 1940s, he had become more and more focused on politics back home in Valencia County.
Becoming El Jefe
Filo Sedillo was elected the chairman of the Democratic Party in Valencia County in 1941. With the exception of a few months, while working temporarily in Washington, D.C., he remained chairman until 1971.
Already powerful in the 1940s, Filo's control of his local party increased steadily through the 1950s. New Mexico's politics were still structured to allow the dominance of individual party bosses, or jefes, in many counties of the state. Emilio Naranjo dominated Rio Arriba County politics. George Baca dominated Socorro County. And Filo rose to become the political boss of Valencia County.
As El Jefe, Filo controlled party politics, deciding who received political appointments and who ran for office, from the smallest job to the most prominent positions in Valencia County.
Once nominated, candidates could count on Filo's unwavering support. On election day, they were almost guaranteed election. From 1952 until 1964, at the height of Filo's power, Democrats, facetiously known as "Filocrats," won every major election in Valencia County. Some said that Filo ran nothing less than a political machine.
Filo claimed there were three main keys to success in winning campaigns: discipline, teamwork and hard work. Of the three, discipline was most important.
Party loyalty must be absolute. Those who wavered in their loyalty could never be trusted — or politically favored with jobs or benefits — again.
Abe Peña, a Republican who ran for the state Legislature in 1962, remembers a good example of how loyal Filo's Democrats could be to their leader. During the campaign Peña went to two of his cousins to ask for their support.
Both cousins refused, insisting that Filo would know if they voted for a Republican. Peña pointed out that it was a secret ballot and Filo would never know how individuals voted. One cousin replied that secret ballot or not, Filo would know.
"He'll look me straight in the eye and know I voted for you."
Filo worked side-by-side with his chosen Democratic candidates, going door-to-door through the day and holding political rallies at night. Most rallies were well attended, with plenty of Mariachi music and good food. At a typical rally, 1,500 turned out for a barbecue beef dinner in the new sheriff's posse building in October 1964.
Filo insisted that Democratic candidates make their scheduled speeches even if only a handful of loyal voters attended. Party loyalty must be rewarded in both large and small ways.
At political rallies, he also advised candidates to keep their speeches short and to the point. As Peña noticed, Filo sat behind the podium so he could kick any speaker who went on too long.
El Jefe instructed his candidates to avoid talking about their opponents in their campaign speeches. Instead, candidates should focus on their own positive messages and avoid the temptation of mudslinging. The odds were in their favor anyway. There was no need to fight in the mud if your team was far ahead.
Known as a "master politician," Filo's ability to coach and promote Democratic candidates was unequaled. Able to deliver the votes needed for victory, Filo could reportedly tell candidates how many votes they would get in a particular race. According to one admirer, "he was often off by only one or two votes."
Filo also enjoyed great power in state Democratic politics, especially at party conventions. El Jefe took pride in delivering Valencia County's 13 delegate votes as a disciplined, solid block that could decide a close vote on important issues and nominations.
Valencia County always had the "last say" because delegates cast their roll-call votes by counties in the counties' alphabetical order. In other words, Filo often controlled the critical swing vote (or block); many deals could be made to benefit Valencia County at such critical moments.
Filo served as a member of the State Democratic Central Committee from 1936 to 1971. He was a delegate to several Democratic national conventions, and was proud to have been an early supporter of John F. Kennedy's campaign for the presidency in 1960.
By 1964, the Valencia County News called Filo Sedillo "the most talked-about man around." According to the News, "Some regard him as the champion of the little man, a sort of benevolent despot with a big heart for the underdog. Other people believe him to be a tyrant and, to others, he is a legend."
Waning Power
But with all his clout and influence, Filo Sedillo's political power showed signs of wear by the mid 1960s. Politics in New Mexico were changing and, with few exceptions, old-time political bosses began to lose the absolute grip they had held at the state and local levels for so long.
In 1964, for example, Filo led his 13 delegates to the Democratic Party's state convention to help select their party's candidate for governor. As always, Valencia County's delegates could be expected to vote as a group, with Filo controlling their final decisions. Filo delivered his 13 delegates to a rising star in the party named Bruce King.
King later recalled that he decided to withdraw his candidacy because he did not want to look like he had made a deal with a political boss like Filo. Rather than being considered an asset, Filo's support had become a political liability for a new generation of leaders such as King.
Five years later, a state constitutional convention was called to write a new constitution to replace the outdated document of 1910. Filo was elected a delegate, becoming one of only two delegates whose families was represented at both the 1910 and 1969 conventions. (H.O. Bursum Jr. was the other delegate.)
Filo had hoped to also be elected chair of the 1969 convention, but ran into opposition from the same man he had supported for governor in 1964. Bruce King won the coveted leadership role, but was wise to make sure that Filo was chosen as his first vice chair. Remembering Filo's good work at the convention, King later declared that "I never have worked with any man who showed more compassion for the people than Filo Sedillo."
Once the new constitution was written, King and his fellow delegates began the campaign to have it passed by the voters of New Mexico. Filo vowed to secure the important Hispanic vote by winning the support of key Hispanic leaders who could then deliver the votes of their followers.
Such strategy may have worked in the past, but not by the late 1960s. The new constitution failed at the ballot box by about 2,500 votes. Filo delivered a slim 183 majority in his own county, an unheard of result a decade before.
A New Direction
Bruce King might not have gotten the new constitution of 1969 passed, but he secured his party's nomination for governor in 1970. As in 1964, Filo supported King who beat his Republican opponent, 38-year-old Pete Domenici.
Remembering Filo's support in both 1964 and 1970, Gov. King appointed the aging politico to a whole new role, district court judge in the newly created 13th Judicial District. Some observers were leery of the appointment, wondering if a partisan leader like Filo could administer equal justice when old political enemies stood before his bench.
Filo's supporters came to his defense. The News-Bulletin noted that while Filo had earlier believed that "to the victor goes the spoils," he did not seem to carry a grudge after an election "and eventually worked with those he may have earlier opposed."
Filo pointed out that other politicians had made the transition and had become good judges, including former Gov. Edwin L. Mechem. Filo won the endorsement of all 12 lawyers in Valencia County, including several who were Republican.
Filo Sedillo was sworn into office at the courthouse in Los Lunas at 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 26, 1971. Supreme Court Justice Paul Tackett administered the oath, and Filo's 7-year-old grandson, Antonio, led the pledge of allegiance. A reception, catered by Kotch's Café, followed at Our Lady of Belen parish hall.
Among the nearly thousand people in attendance were dignitaries, including Gov. and Alice King, State Sen. Tibo J. Chavez, Speaker of the House Walter K. Martinez, and Reps. Dickie Carbajal and Fred Luna. Attorney Gilberto Espinosa gave the invocation. The new judge was surrounded by family members, including his wife, Emily, and his children, Filo "BoBo," Sonia and Raul.
Speaking to the crowd, Judge Sedillo said, "A judge should divide himself completely from politics. I am happy to cap my career as a judge."
Filo promised to protect the interest of society as a whole, upholding the rights of all defendants.
Just as at his old political rallies, Mariachis played their music at the reception, singing many of the judge's old favorites and even singing a new one, appropriately titled, "His Name Is Filo."
Judge Sedillo served as a district court judge for nine years. He was known as a very fair judge, able to "temper justice with compassion," in the words of one observer. In his first seven years, he handled more than 8,000 cases, with only 45 decisions appealed. Of those appealed, 90 percent were confirmed by the state appellate court.
Filo's daughter-in-law, Corrine G. Sedillo, served as his court reporter while he sat on the bench. Corrine remembers many difficult trials, including a sensational first-degree murder case in Deming in 1975. After two weeks of testimony, the jury took only about two hours to find Daniel DeSantos guilty of the 1974 Halloween night murder of 19-year-old Glennie McDonald in Silver City.
Judge Sedillo sentenced DeSantos to death in the gas chamber, but the verdict was overturned on a technicality. Judge Sedillo presided at DeSantos's second trial, in 1977, with the same guilty outcome, but with a different sentence: 10 to 50 years in prison.
Clearly admired by the citizens of Valencia County, Judge Sedillo was re-elected for six-year terms in 1972 and 1978. Asked in 1978 if he ever thought of retiring, Filo replied, "I wouldn't know what to do if I retire. Besides, I enjoy the court work, even though we are very, very busy."
Last Trip Home
And so it was on Wednesday evening, Oct. 29, 1980, that Judge Sedillo headed home. We'll never know for sure what he was thinking as he drove down Luna Avenue and made a right turn on Courthouse Road.
We only know that Filo crossed the railroad tracks and began to turn south onto old Highway 85. The sun was setting and might well have shown in his eyes, making it hard to see oncoming traffic.
The judge collided broadside with a north-bound pickup. The pickup's 41-year-old driver was transported to Albuquerque's Presbyterian Hospital in serious condition. Arriving quickly from his office in the courthouse, Sheriff Bill Holliday believed that Filo had died almost instantly.
Hearing the news of Filo's death, the citizens of Valencia County were in "shock and dismay," according to one newspaper report. Condolences poured in from men and women throughout the state and across the nation.
Longtime political friends and foes, including Gov. King, Tibo Chavez, Fred Luna, Ron Gentry, District Attorney Tom Esquibel, Lucy Brubaker, Walter Martinez, Frederick "Ted" Howden, Joe Fidel and District Court Judge George Perez, expressed their sorrow and recalled their favorite stories about the judge.
Memorial resolutions were introduced in the state senate by Willie M. Chavez and in the state house of representatives by Fred Luna and Ron Gentry. Local resolutions were passed by the city council in Belen and the village council in Los Lunas.
Newspapers ran complimentary editorials and obituary notices. The Albuquerque Journal observed that Filo was "one of the last" great jefes in New Mexico history. The Grants Beacon called him Valencia County's "political patriarch." The Santa Fe New Mexican wrote that his passing left Valencia County politics "less colorful and not nearly as interesting."
More than a thousand men, women and children attended Filo Sedillo's funeral at Our Lady of Belen Catholic Church. Judge Tibo Chavez gave the heart-felt eulogy, praising Filo's years of service and lauding his ability to unite diverse groups. "Filo's name," said Judge Chavez, "is synonymous with Valencia County."
Judge Chavez might have agreed with a political observer who wrote that whatever his virtues or faults, none could dispute that Filo M. Sedillo was "a real political 'pro' and a genius with the common touch."

NYC and Long Island Residents Join
Thousands in Georgia Calling for
Closure of the SOA
More than 100 people from Long Island and New York City are outside the gates of Fort Benning, Georgia, for the 20th annual vigil and direct action (see photo below, taken today by SOA Watch's Linda Panetta) to protest the School of the Americas (now called WHINSEC), the notorious training facility for Latin American soldiers. Yesterday, a group of Long Islanders protested outside the office of Rep. Peter King, a big SOA supporter.
They groups include students from Hoftstra University and members and friends of SOA Watch and NYCISPES.
The vigil began 20 years ago, after a death squad that was trained at the SOA murdered six Jesuits, their housekeeper, and her 15-year-old daughter in San Salvador. SOA grads have been implicated in many other massacres and tortures and disappearances since the school's inception.
In the recent coup in Honduras, the major players that ousted President Zelaya are two well-known graduates of the SOA: General Romeo Vasquez, the head of the military, and General Luis Suazo, a 1996 graduate, the head of the air force.
This school is well known in Latin America as a school of coups. The school has trained over 60,000 soldiers from 15 countries in Latin America in combat skills. And it's all paid for by U.S. taxpayers.
It's time to shut down the SOA.
For more information on the local groups, contact Bill McNulty of SOA Watch Long Island.

The Descendants, The Artist and The Help seem to be three of the biggest films so far in the 2012 awards season race. But the Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations were announced this morning, and The Help and The Artist were leading the nods with three apiece, while the George Clooney flick picked up only two. In the hottest contest, for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, The Artist and The Descendants are up against Bridesmaids and Midnight in Paris. The actor category recognized Clooney, The Artist's Jean Dujardin, Brad Pitt for Moneyball, Leonardo DiCaprio for J. Edgar and A Better Life star Demian Bichir. The lead actress contenders are Glenn Close for Albert Nobbs, as well as the same four ladies that have been nominated all season long already: Viola Davis for The Help, Meryl Streep for The Iron Lady, Tilda Swinton for We Need to Talk About Kevin and Michelle Williams for My Week With Marylin. The supporting actor and actress categories also closely resemble every other kudosfest so far (though, sorry, Drive fans, Albert Brooks was left out of this one).
There are plenty of familiar faces in the TV categories too — Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad, Dexter and The Good Wife are up against newcomer Game of Thrones. (Good thing there's no "you win or you die" rule here.)
The most exciting nominations to us? The stunt ensembles! The Adjustment Bureau, Cowboys & Aliens, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Transformers: Dark of the Moon and X-Men: First Class are the movie casts up for the prize. And the Dexter, Game of Thrones, Southland, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena and True Blood ensembles compete in the TV category. Wait, can that one be an arena battle, instead of a vote? Pretty please?
Head here for the complete SAG Awards list. The 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will air live on Sunday, January 29, on TNT and TBS at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

3 slices
bacon, chopped
1 (2 to 3 pound)
whole chicken, cut into pieces
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon
1 large
onion, sliced
2 cloves
garlic, chopped
1 cup
sliced mushrooms
1 cup
red wine
2 teaspoons
brown sugar
1/2 cup
balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup
baby carrots, sliced
1 tablespoon
red wine
2 teaspoons
I made this using all thighs, it worked out great. I served it over pasta and even the person who doesn't like wine or mushrooms asked how I made it.
I thought that this was the worst recipe for chicken cacciatore. I think I'll stick with the tomatoes. This recipe by far was not quick and easy.
20 Ratings
I liked this recipe... i used only a 1/4 cup of vinegar and i chopped up the bacon and added it to the sauce... i also used flour instead of cornstarch to thicken... it turned out great and was quick to make
This really is a great dish. We really enjoyed it served over rice. The kids enjoyed it as well as my wife's family. I also made it with a homemade jalepeno and cheese french bread.
Very good. Although it sounded a little different, we enjoyed this very much. I used slightly less vinegar as someone had suggested. Next time, I will make more sauce and serve with rice.
I evenly substituted chicken broth for the red wine and used Wish Bone's Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing in place of the balsamic vinegar. I also chopped boneless, skinless chicken breast into one-inch pieces before sauteeing instead of using chicken pieces. One more thing, fresh mushrooms could have been better but all I had was canned. Otherwise, we could not imaging this dish being much better than it was. I served this to my lovingly analytical/critical husband over white rice and he gave it his, "you can make this anytime" review. I agreed.
I thought this was good, but not your traditional chicken cacciatore. I would prefer to call this a sweet and sour chicken since that is what it really tasted like. I found the vinegar to be a little overpowering (and I love balsamic) so I added a touch more brown sugar to offset it.
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT A TRUE CHICKEN CACCIATORE. i SERVED IT WITH ANGEL HAIR AND IT WAS A BIG HIT!

Man charged with murder after wreck involving victim's car
Police arrested a Fayetteville man Thursday morning after he wrecked a car in Harnett County that, it turns out, belonged to a Durham murder victim.
John Franklin Alexander, 34, has been charged with murder, possession of a stolen vehicle and possession of stolen property.
Those charges were added by Durham police after he was booked into the Harnett County Jail following a traffic accident.
On Tuesday, police found Ella Everette Davis, 58, dead in her apartment in the Greens of Pine Glen complex near Southpoint.
In Harnett County, law enforcement officials charged him with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, carrying a concealed firearm, two counts of trafficking a Schedule I controlled substance, two counts of resist, delay and obstruct a law enforcement officer, assault on a law enforcement officer, simple possession of Schedule II drug, driving while impaired and possession of an open container of alcohol in a vehicle.
The murder of Davis did not appear to be random, police said.
Schedule I drugs include heroin, LSD and cocaine, and Schedule II drugs include prescription pain killers such as Oxycontin.
Alexander was being held in Harnett County under a $1 million bond, according to the Harnett County Sheriff's website.

SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — A northeastern Pennsylvania man has pleaded guilty to posting an online threat to kill the president.
Nicholas Savino pleaded guilty Monday to posting a threat on the White House website last August that said, "President Obama the Anti-Christ. As a result of breaking the constitution you will stand down or be shot dead."
The 42-year-old Clarks Summit man will be sentenced June 11. He faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Under a plea agreement, Savino will forfeit three guns and about 11,000 rounds of ammunition that agents found in his apartment and car. Savino was arrested about a week after posting the threat, just before Obama visited nearby Scranton.

I am so frustrated with my imac that I have had for less then 6 months. All of a sudden I cannot get anything to load on either Firefox or Safari. It takes longer then windows use to. Is there something that i can do to fix this problem ??
I have repaired disk from my DVD that came with my imac Have repaired permissions Have done everything that I can find to do for this problem to no avail. I am ready to make this beautiful machine into a door stopper .:Grimmace:
It was so fast & so nice when I first got it .
Please tell me whatelse I can do
Is it just the internet that is slow?
Have you tried OnyX?
No my internet is fine on I am on dsl . It will not load pages without clicking on a link like 3 or 4 times. It will just say at the top that it is loading.
Firefox will say that it can't find the page so you hit retry & then it will finally come up.
Sorry, is the whole computer slow or is it just your web browser?
Do you have OnyX? If not, you should get it. Here is a link.
I run main menu all the time. I clear out the cache & do all the mantiance Stuff. Is there anything else that I can do ?? I am thinking that I might have wipe my hard drive clean & start over again. I have already done a archive but that didn't help at all.
Is the cache the same as temp files ?? Is there a way to clean out temp files ??
I just tried on Safari & Firefox to go to one of my bookmarks & after having to click on it 4 times it finally came up
Thanks for any advice on this
How are you connected to your DSL? A router? Wired? Do you have any other computers on the same network connection? Do they go slow on the web and not connect like your Mac?
Safari > Reset Safari > Reset
I am on a router with another computer & the other one is working just fine.
I just reset Safari will see how that goes.
Is Oxy any better then Main menu ??
Is the other system that works fine a PC with XP? Are both hooked to the router WIRED or Wireless?
The other is a pc XP
So you have a Wired connection from the XP system and the iMac to your router hooked to a DSL modem. Are you running the latest version of OSX which would be 10.4.10? Trying to figure just what is causing your issue.
Yep have 10.4.10
It is just getting to the point that I just want to take a hammer to it. I was trying to do a search on google & nothing would even come up just the the loading thing going around & around in the tab. ( not the beach ball)
Do you think that I should do a reformat ??
Forgot to tell you that the reset on Safari didn't help at all
MrsRed, this sounds like an issue I experience from time to time. As odd as it may sound, the answer in my case, after the usual OnyX and other Mac maintenance has been to turn off my DSL modem AND the router, let them sit alone for about 10 minutes and then turn them back on again. Basically, reset the DSL modem and router. If you are like most of us, those boxes are just always on, week after week after week. Now and then, a hard reset of these boxes really speeds things up.
I would recommend that you try this as well.
I would also recommend the usual stuff, like making sure you have cleaned out your browser's history and cache and cookies. All of this will slow down a browser as well, but I am assuming you have done that already.
Give the DSL Modem and Router reset a try. It has solved a slow web performance issue for me more than once.
MrsRed, one other thing. When your Mac is not otherwise doing anything, please pull up Activity Monitor (in your Utilities folder) and observe what the resting level of your CPU activity is at. It should be somewhere between 0% and 5% at the most. If it is more than that, use the process listing of Activity Monitor to determine what process is responsible for the extra CPU percentage. If you do find such a process, or more than one, please report them back here.
...and PLEASE tell me that you do not have ANY Norton product loaded on your Mac. They cause SO many problems that if you do, I would recommend uninstalling immediately.

Michelin's Eco-Friendly Racing Tyres
This year at Le Mans 24, Michelin are taking further steps to fulfil the commitment it previously made to help protect the environment. During this year's renowned endurance race - which is in its 78th year and that will take place on the 12th and 13th of June - Michelin have announced that their involvement will feature a new innovative range of eco-friendly tyres.
This new range also will be taking part in the Michelin-organised "Michelin Green X Challenge" which is to take place for only the second time. Despite it being a new event, the challenge has already become an important part of the regulations of the event.
Michelin know the importance of providing good, long lasting tyres at an endurance race the scale of Le Mans and so Michelin employed engineers and chemists have worked tirelessly to develop the new range to be used this year.
The eco-friendly aromatic oil-free tyres will be a first in endurance racing and motorsport enthusiasts across the globe will be watching carefully to see if they live up to the hype that is beginning to build around them.
Michelin have stated that these new tyres will "push the envelope" in three of the major areas needed to ensure a competitive race – maximum grip in both wet and dry conditions, the long life of the tyres and the reduction in fuel consumption.
This new tyre range has a lot to live up to, with Michelin having won the previous 13 Le Mans races in a row – part of the 19 total wins they've had since they started participating in the race. However, if the tyres are as good as Michelin have claimed, it looks like win number 20 could very well be on the cards.

I'm in Maine, Epicenter of the Fight to Protect Marriage — Join Me! [Updated]By
Greetings from the front lines of the fight to protect marriage!
Last night a new poll from PPP showed that the fight to protect marriage in Maine will be incredibly close.
So without further ado I decided to hop a plane to Maine to help out the good folks who are working to defeat gay marriage by voting No on Question 1 (I'll still be keeping up my other election-related blogging, don't worry!).
If you live in Maine or know someone who does, please direct them to www.ProtectMarriageMaine.com to see how they can help in these last critical 72 hours.
Here's the conclusion of a statement by the Catholic bishop in Maine, Rev. Richard Malone:
"…A Catholic whose conscience has been properly formed by scripture and Church teaching cannot justify a vote for a candidate or referendum question that opposes the teachings of the Church. The definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman, open to the birth of children, is a matter of established Catholic doctrine. Any Catholic who supports a redefinition of marriage—or so called "same-sex marriage"—is unfaithful to Catholic doctrine. The group calling itself 'Catholics for Marriage Equality' does not speak for the Catholic Church, any more than does 'Catholics for a Free Choice', another dissident group that promotes so-called 'abortion rights'. Faithful Catholics will give no credence to either.
Vote your faith on November 6."
I believe that's very straightforward (praise God!).
Meanwhile, this news just broke last night (via the National Organization for Marriage):
Gay marriage activists falsely claim time and time again that legalizing same sex-marriage won't change what is taught to our children in school.
They should tell that to Kristy Howard, a mother in Maine whose child was taught about graphic homosexual foreplay during "Diversity Day" at Gorham Elementary and Middle School just last week.
"I don't want my child taught heterosexual foreplay, let alone homosexual foreplay in school," she said.
Watch local news cover the story here:
You can also watch a very informative video of three sisters in Maine sharing their experience of "tolerance" from the pro-gay marriage Maine lobby here.
Or check out this video by TFP Student Action showing one gay marriage activist after another destroying and removing our "NO on Question 1″ signs:
Or read this incredible letter to a Maine newspaper from a 14-year-old girl who was almost run over for sign-waving a "No on Question 1″ sign:
Recently our youth group, ages 7 to 17, felt called to take a stand for marriage, as traditionally defined by all previous generations. We decided that for the next four weekends we would hold signs along Payne Road in Scarborough, asking Mainers for their support.
We consulted the police and followed their safety recommendations. As we stood along the sidewalk, a tremendous number of people enthusiastically showed their support. But many of the opposition were extremely hostile.
On one occasion, a middle-aged man with children in the back seat of his SUV deliberately drove up onto the sidewalk. He was dangerously near the children as he continued accelerating, plowing over 15 of our marriage signs and covering a span of more than 100 feet. The little ones were very scared.
He pulled off only to avoid hitting a telephone pole, and we saw him laughing as he sped away. The police chased after him and when confronted, the man claimed that he was "distracted." Thankfully, a nearby store captured the entire crime on video.
On another occasion, a car drove by and the passenger leaned out the window, exposing his private parts. I was embarrassed by this lack of decency.
We children endured people calling us names, throwing things at us and hundreds upon hundreds of people sticking up their middle fingers and screaming X-rated profanities. And they call us hateful people?
In the name of "tolerance," I have been insulted, disrespected and bullied, simply because of my beliefs: that marriage is between a man and a woman and that children need both a mother and a father. In spite of all this, I am determined to continue exercising my First Amendment rights and standing up for the true meaning of marriage.
This is just a taste of what we are dealing with here. But with perseverance, the grace of God, and your help, we can score a victory for marriage here!
Please prayerfully consider what you can do to help us out.
Visiting Protect Marriage Maine is a great way to start.

The Catholic vote failed. I am as good before God as any of your contributors. I do not apologise for that. The chuch went against IRS regs. They should lose their tax exemt status. And mre of this will come later. Your commentators should be more accurate in their comments. While Not an advocate Call up the website of Cardinal Martine. Refer also to the estimate of viewpoints of the sixty or so Cardinals withdivergent views. Should they not clean up their act. Whereis the transparency as promised by Vatican 1 and 2. Money buys alot but it will not buy one presence with God. I am an irish devout catholic
Jesus wants same sex marriage. The majority of American Catholics understand this. Why don't you guys? You're not really into Jesus. You just like hate and division. It's you anti-gay Catholics that are intrinsically disordered!
Well, that was a wasted flight.
I guess the people have spoken!
You anti-gay religious crazies need to get a life. You need to throw away your bibles. They've confused you. Some people can handle that level of mythological thinking, but you anti-gay bigots can't.

Gluten over Tofu?
Now that Kenji is embarking on his vegan diet, I also came across this article that claims that eating gluten is 'healthier' than tofu. Of course, this won't apply to celiac people, but sometimes I find gluten (especially in bread) is be quite heavy, which I've experienced particularly in Whole Foods' baked bread.
I do love my tofu (not the processed type) and I don't know I'm going to jump on the wagon and start to see more gluten over my tofu or tempeh.
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

Pesticide Use Associated with Increased Risk of NHL
Pesticides, May 17, 2006) According
to an early online publication in the journal Blood,
agricultural exposure to insecticides, herbicides, and fumigants are
associated with increased risk of developing t(14;18)-positive non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma (NHL).
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a cancer of the immune system. There
are several different types of NHL, which are differentiated by the
type of immune cell that is cancerous, the characteristics of the cancerous
cell, and different genetic mutations of the cancerous cells. Treatment
for NHL varies depending on NHL type, patient age, and other existing
medical conditions.
The incidence of NHL has been increasing over the past several decades.
The reasons for this increase are unknown. As well, the causes of most
lymphomas are unknown; the few with known causes include those associated
with specific bacteria (Helicobacter pylori in gastric lymphoma) and
viruses such as the Epstein-Barr virus (Burkitt's lymphoma), HIV-related
lymphomas, body cavity lymphomas (human herpes virus-8) or T-cell lymphoma
(HTLV-1). However, none of these specific causes explain the increased
incidence of lymphomas in recent years. There is speculation that exposure
to chemicals, such as certain solvents, pesticides, herbicides, and
water contaminated with nitrate, are responsible for the increased incidence
of NHL.
Researchers from the Northwestern University, University of Nebraska
Medical Center, and the National Cancer Institute recently conducted
a study aimed at uncovering a possible association between different
molecular types of NHL and exposure to agricultural pesticides. This
study included 65 patients with t(14;18)-positive NHL (refers to a specific
genetic alteration in a type of NHL), 107 patients with t(14;18)-negative
NHL, and 1,200 individuals who have not been diagnosed with NHL.
- Patients exposed to animal insecticides, crop insecticides, herbicides,
or fumigants had a 2.6 to 5.0 fold increase in the incidence of t(14;18)-positive
- There was no increased incidence of t(14;18)-negative NHL and exposure
to these agents.
The researchers concluded that agricultural pesticides appear to increase
the risk of developing t(14;18)-positive NHL.
These results further confirm suspicions that these agents are at least
in part associated with the increased incidence of NHL over the past
several decades. Additional study will likely further uncover these

Some escapees that were caught received extreme punishment.
Successfully escaping from a Nazi concentration camp was an unlikely possibility. Most political prisoners who tried to escape were killed, either while trying to flee or later, before they were able to reach freedom. At Berga, two soldiers caught "trying to escape" (according to their captors) were shot to death.
Three P.O.W.s managed to escape the Berga camp, only to be recaptured days later. Fluent in German and not Jewish, they were not returned to Berga; Nazi authorities held them at the Bad Sulza camp.
Despite the danger, some prisoners still attempted escape.

Little good surprises are happening: yesterday met 2 girlfriends in town, one minute after I've thought about them, and they invited me to a yummy dinner. Later, I discovered a bunch of wonderful photos in my camera from the past week or so that I have forgot about, AND I could hardly believe this one: found my Hungarian SIM card I lost a couple of months ago! I have 3 phone numbers but only 2 phones I like to use, so I always had to change the tiny little cards and keep one of them in my purse, that's how I dropped it.
When I stepped out of the door this afternoon, I saw something red on the ground - and there was it, my SIM card with my Hungarian phone number! As the snow and all the winter rubbish is disappearing, it had a chance to surface. Yayyy!!! I can use it again, don't have to change my number or wait until I go to Hungary and can get a new one.
So, anyone of you who had my Hungarian number: it's alive!
Then I went to the internet café to print out something and got 10 extra pages, because the girl I asked to help me clicked too many times and it started to print immediately.
To top it off, I was even invited for a piece of cake, because the staff and a few friends were celebrating the new car of the owner... :-)) Lovely place. (The best net café in town, Firewall, Götgatan 88, if you guys in Stockholm wanna know)
Just wanted to tell ya :-) Hmmm... maybe it's just the spring and sun?
One of the photos that I got out from my camera:

I got the privilege recently of doing a photoshoot with my favorite photographer, Alena Reyes. I am convinced she is the only person that really knows how to photograph me, and she likes photographing me because I will do any crazy-sounding thing she wants. Including getting half naked in Lake Erie when it's like, ~60 degrees out. Anything for art, right? The following photos are all courtesy of Alena Reyes, please make sure to visit alenareyes.blogspot.com to see more of her amazing work!

One of the things I do while following the zerg in WvW (other than watch TV shows) is to talk on mumble with my friends. One of the recent discussion point was 'why is GW2 so zerg focused?'
It is actually a game vision that made it so. The vision of GW2 is all about 'groups without the barrier to get players into groups'. It is so focused on getting people 'in a group' that just being in the same area = group in terms of gameplay; esp DE / WvW. Being in an area with a lot of players = more XP / Loot in PVE and higher chance to win in a PVP (sometimes referred to as 'Death Ball' or just 'Zerg' in WvW). Thus this encourages 'zerg' at a gameplay level because of the overall vision of the game and the game designs / game systems created to suit that vision.
Offensive is passive while defensive is reactive / active. The strength of your 'group' increases in a linear fashion as you add more players; hence it is passive. But all defensive systems are active; dodge, shield, heal, react to offensive push in WvW etc. Once again, the game pushes the player-base to be all about offensive and 'find the biggest zerg'. It's system is based upon trying to create the biggest 2 blobs of players and smash them into each other.
Whether you personally find this enjoyable or not is completely subjective, I find it amusing in small bursts.

The only place you are still likely to see 'zergs' in PvE are in Orr. Most 1-75 content is now done by smaller groups, who have to be more organised and helpful if they want to beat the more challenging DEs.
Open world content wasn't really designed to be challenging though, because it is far too uncontrolled. And to be fair, the only MMO with challenging overworld encounters I have played was EQ2, and those were for elite raiding guilds with the best gear (Avatars of the gods during EoF -> TSO).
PvE challenge in GW2 is found in the dungeons, most people just stick to the easy ones, but there are challenging ones there that require players to work as a coordinated team. Making the overworld challenging just isn't practicable, or necessary.
Same as WvW, that was never meant to be challenging, the challenge is in sPvP. Open world PvPers don't relish a challenge or fair fight, they just like being able to kill people by any means necessary. Pretty much the opposite of a fair fight / challenge. If you want a PvP challenge, you should be doing tournament sPvP.

I agree that WvW is mob focused. Most of PvE is also mob focused.
However, with the change in Arah temple mechanics, especially that of the Temple of Grenth, simply spamming your skills doesn't seem to work as well.
They also have said that some Guild Missions will be harder than others and simply standing around and spamming auto attack probably won't be the best idea.
(Source: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/game/gw2/Guild-Missions-revealed/first#post1439703)
I do believe there will be more challenging content in the open world for you to enjoy fairly soon :)

in WxWxW spamming skills doesn't work even in zergs, as necro i need to save my wells and marks to particular situations, and i think that makes all the difference as a group to succeed , and when solo or small group it really needs strategy, know all class's and skill choice to win against.
Everyone tells eng. sux on pvp but i can make wonders with mine, still mesmers are far easy class to play in WxWxW.

Bella Thorne's shedding her Disney image on CSI.
E! News can exclusively reveal the Shake It Up star just booked a guest-starring role on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
Thorne will appear in one episode as Hannah, "a very popular high school student with everything going for her." So will she play the victim, suspect or witness on the CBS drama?
Despite being a member of the National Honor Roll, president of the French club, the literacy volunteer of the year, and the captain of the swim team, Hannah's hiding a few secrets. She'll become the prime suspect in the murder of a fellow student at her high school.
Thorne is best known for her starring role on the Disney Channel dancing series Shake It Up, and she was recently seen on the big screen playing Adam Sandler's daughter in Blended. Her other TV credits include The O.C., Dirty Sexy Money and Big Love. On Shake It Up, Thorne played backup dancer CeCe Jones opposite Zendaya as Rocky Blue. It sounds like she may be trading in her dancing shoes for TV handcuffs.
CSI returns Sunday, Sept. 28 at 10 p.m. on CBS.

At the start of each class
Warning: Illegal string offset 'video_embed' in /home/seminary/public_html/wp-content/themes/wp-inspired/single.php on line 36
Here are the questions you need to ask and answer at the beginning of each class:
1. Will this be among the 20% of most valuable classes, to which I should devote my best energy, or will it be one of the 80% that are (comparatively) low-value?
Many things go into this determination. Some classes you will enjoy immensely, but won't really benefit you practically in ministry down the line. Others will be helpful but not so enjoyable.
If you don't know the answer to this first question going in, most of the time you should be able to determine it within the first two weeks of class.
2. What do I need to take from this course?
The answer could be information, skill, or exposure. What value will it have for your future ministry? This is a separate question from #3, below.
3. What do you need to get a good grade in this course?
Is the grade based on test, papers, attendance, assignments, or some combination? Which things are you going to really give yourself to and which ones can you afford less attention?
Next week: the real story on grades

1 pound

This is the best fruitcake ever! It's the kind of fruitcake I grew up with, and I had been searching for this recipe for a long time. The nuts really make the cake -- very crunchy and chewy and dense. Beautiful to look at too, each slice like a stained-glass window. The first time I made this, I ate half a loaf in one sitting -- it is that irresistible!
This being my first fruitcake, I really didn't know what to expect. I didn't add as much fruit as the recipe said and it came out great. Nice mellow flavor. Let set for a week or two.

make one of these without alcohol for the kids. My grandchildren like this as well as fruit cookies.
My first fruitcake attempt and it turned out well. It was a little dry; but I may have overbaked it. As a remedy, I wrapped in cheesecloth soaked in apple juice for several days and it moistened up fine. I substituted walnuts for the Brazil nuts. My husband and mother, both fruitcake fanatics, really enjoyed it...especially since it was homemade.
Liked it very much, but changed the nuts. I don't like brazil nuts, so I put walnuts in. I also made small cakes to give as gifts to my mail carrier, trash man, paper women and Schwan man. I also printed out the recipe for them. They were all excited.
I really enjoyed this recipe, but next time I will use a little less nuts and a citrus mix.
this fruitcake is so good! we can't stop eating it.
Best fruitcake ever!!! Never made one so easy and it came out perfect 2 hours ago and it's half eaten already. I used pecans, Cherries and pineapple then I added a touch of cinnamon . It was fantastic almost exactly like the Corsicana fruitcake company and those are 23.00 each. I will make this for Christmas presents next year in little loaf pans. Even if you don't like fruitcake just try this one with your favorite fruit. It is so healthy too!!!

By Master Sgt. Stephen Barrett, USAAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 16, 1996 Air Force men and Army women captured championships at the 1996 armed forces volleyball tournament, held May 6-9 at Memphis Naval Air Station, Tenn.
Air Force (5-1) dominated the men's competition, jumping to a 4-0 record after two days of the double round-robin tournament. Air Force then clinched the 1996 title with a 15-10, 17-15, 13-15, 15-7 win over Army.
Army, the men's champion the past two years, finished second at 4-2. Navy finished third at 3-3, and the Marine Corps went winless in six matches.
In winning the title, Air Force placed six players on the armed forces all-tournament team. Earning positions were Capt. Craig Allton (Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala.), 2nd Lt. John Napier (Los Angeles Air Force Base), Staff Sgt. Kelly Bronson (Osan Air Base, Korea), Senior Airman Eric Christianson (Beale Air Force Base, Calif.), Airman 1st Class James Garrido (Shaw Air Force Base, S.C.) and Airman 1st Class Scott Flack (Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska).
Air Force head coach Capt. Dale Grupe (University of Kentucky, Lexington) and Master Sgt. Kliengsak Nimpchaimanatham (Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.) earned coaching spots.
Soldiers earning berths on the all-tournament team were Capt. Patrick Keane of Fort Knox, Ky., Spc. Thomas Porr of Fort Campbell, Ky., Spc. Jason Janda of Fort Irwin, Calif., and Pfc. Richard Hudson of Fort Carson, Colo.
Earning Navy all-tournament honors were Petty Officers 3rd Class Brian Cremascoli of the USS Kitty Hawk and Matt Galvin of North Island Naval Air Station, Calif.
In the women's competition, Army got help from Navy in winning the 1996 title. Tied with Air Force at 4-1 entering the final day, Army watched as Navy upset Air Force in the tournament's 11th game. The Air Force loss, combined with Army's 15-5, 15-7, 15-5 win over the Marine Corps in the final match, gave Army the title.
Air Force finished in second place at 4-2. Navy, the two-time defending women's champions, finished at 3-3, while Marine Corps women ended at 0-6.
Six Army women earned all-tournament team honors, joining Army head coach Toafala Iafeta (Phoenix) and assistant coach Chief Warrant Officer Leroy Latshaw (Wheeler Army Airfield, Hawaii). Taking all-tournament honors were 1st Lt. Angela Shinn (U.S. Military Academy, West Point, N.Y.), 2nd Lt. Sunny Barse (Camp Stanley, Korea) and Sgt. Kristie Dean (Hunter Army Airfield, Ga.).
Also earning Army spots were Spc. Nina Jackson (Fort Sam Houston, Texas), Spc. Trina Skinner (Fort Belvoir, Va.) and Pfc. Stephanie Taylor (Fort Hood, Texas).
Both Air Force and Navy added three players to the squad. Air Force players were 1st Lt. Christine Eiler (Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass.), 2nd Lt. Billeye Juarez (Cannon Air Force Base, N.M.) and 2nd Lt. Juliana Adair (U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Colo.).
Navy players earning positions were Petty Officer 2nd Class Susan Ryals (Hauza, Okinawa), Petty Officer 3rd Class Jacqueline Grant (Jacksonville Naval Air Station, Fla.) and Seaman Stephanie Stuck (San Diego Naval Base).
