What are you doing posting this here???? This forum is for Linux - spell it L i n u x. You want rUbY? Go to a RUBY forum. And what's with the gibberish?!?? How about taking some Engalish courses before you post here!!! Go back to your little gem forum you son of a camel herder!!!!* A thousand slaps upon your head! May ravens feast on your little ruby eyes!!!
I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. I understand what you're saying perfectly. One of the things that attracted my to LinFoo was the quality of the people here. As was mentioned somewhere else, give someone some anonymity and they'll do things that they wouldn't dream of in their sorry little lives.
That distro sounds nice. I have been reading up on LFS myself and I am about to start work on it. Could you give us some more details?

Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey
In the province of undivided Bengal lies the sleepy, peaceful port of Chittagong. In this unassuming little town a revolution is about to begin; a revolution which will forever wake all of Chittagong and inspire the entire nation. Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey is a true story of these forgotten heroes and the narrative takes us through every step of the action from the initial trepidation, to the thrill of the attack, to the underground movement, daring escapes and tragic captures, and most importantly, their undying legacy.

The Merchant of Four Seasons
1971. West Germany. Rainer Werner Fassbinder. 88 min.
Wednesday, May 28, 2014, 1:30 p.m.
Theater 3 (The Celeste Bartos Theater), mezzanine, The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Building
The Merchant of Four Seasons
1971. West Germany. Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. With Hans Hirschmuller, Irm Hermann, Hanna Schygulla, Andrea Schober. Although Fassbinder had already directed more than a dozen films, this was the movie that put him on the map, at least in America, where it was shown in the New York Film Festival. He would ultimately become the most acclaimed German director since the Weimar triumvirate of F. W. Murnau, Fritz Lang, and G. W. Pabst. Here, we get an early taste of his stylized homage to Hollywood and its methods, flavored by a leftist political slant that would make him important, but always controversial. In German; English subtitles. 88 min.

The Spirituality Mind Body Institute supports training and research for the development of psychotherapists, healers, scholars and activitists. Graduate students build knowledge of research supporting spiritual and mind-body practices as well as hands on clinical training.

Generous funding for the Spirituality Mind Body Institute comes from corporate and family foundations.

Vipassana Meditation: Psychology, Science, and Way of Life
A Lecture and Conversation with Paul R. Fleischman, M.D.
When: Tuesday , November 12, 6-7:30 pm
Where: Milbank Chapel
RSVP Here: http://vipassanafleischman.eventbrite.com/
Event Description
Vipassana Meditation is based upon the teachings of the Buddha, and has been revived as a secular form of psychological development. It raises into consciousness the full contents of the mind, and reorganizes thoughts and feelings in keeping with new fundamental insights about one's self and all of nature. These fundamental insights, in turn, are compatible with the scientific worldview that understands all things to be impermanent, changing aggregates that follow universal laws. Vipassana practice guides its practitioners towards a life of harmony, peace, and moral discernment.
About the Speaker
Dr. Paul R. Fleischman is a Vipassana meditation teacher in the tradition of S.N. Goenka. He is the author of several books including Wonder: When and Why the World Appears Radiant, Cultivating Inner Peace, Karma and Chaos, and An Ancient Path. Dr. Fleischman practiced psychiatry for more than 30 years and has lectured widely in the Americas, Asia and Europe. He was honored by the American Psychiatric Association for his contributions to the study of spirituality and religion in medicine.
This event is made possible by the generous support of the Spirituality Mind Body Institute, Teachers College, Columbia University.

UVA CLEAR: Center for Leading Edge Addiction Research
UVA CLEAR, researching new treatments for alcohol and drug addictions
The University of Virginia's Center for Leading Edge Addiction Research is the site of ongoing research studies on substance abuse for the Department of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences' Division of Neurobiological Studies.
UVA CLEAR is committed to researching new treatment methods that may help individuals on their way to recovery. Our goals are to:
- Understand the biological aspects of substance abuse
- Provide medications that can help correct biological predispositions believed to increase the risk of addiction
- Teach behavior-changing techniques
- Decrease the cravings associated with substance abuse
- Work towards abstinence
Through our research, we hope to bring new knowledge to better understand the biological underpinning of addiction. Our approach combines medications, which target different brain pathways known to be involved in the rewarding effects of drugs, with behavior-changing techniques in an effort to reduce craving associated with substance abuse.
Our center began enrolling research participants in March, 2005. The UVA CLEAR clinic is located in Charlottesville, Virginia.
If you would like more information about our programs, wish to make referrals, or receive literature, please call us at 434.243.0541 or 888.882.2345 (toll-free).

That 'splains alot... I thought you were going ebonic on me
Like on "Son of the Beach?"
Bubonic plague + ebola virus == Ebonic plague
Thanx, Now all i have to do is:
1. Move in.
2. Get money for computer
3. Put linux on old computer
4. Figure out how to use it.
5. Figure out how to keep daughter out/off of it.
Appreciate all the help. As MM has already said, He is my bro, we just happen to live quite aways apart. Once I get online again, maybe you guys will see me a little more.
Skip the last step.... encourage your younters to use a decent OS..
I will. But, as she is only 3 and the wife hates the fact that I would let her spend hours on their, I must bow to the boss. But, I have aquired her an old laptop to play her learning games on. Hopefully she will be teaching computers when she hits gradeschool.
I told Cassidy (my oldest at 6) that as soon as she learns to read decently I will put a computer in her room to play some learning games on. As soon as she gets some experience on computers, I plan to start teaching her repair and building, and then move her into linux... by 16 I hope to have her coding in perl... ;D

While print media is beginning to feel overshadowed by the incredible amount of digital and video content available today, Microsoft Tag brings something really special to the table. The incorporation of Tag's digital content within a well-known, but static media such as print magazines adds an eye-catching gateway to a wealth of digital content.
A magazine ad will try to convince readers of the value of a product through the presentation of flat, non-interactive information. They can be easily overlooked, ignored or forgotten. Tag takes things to another level; it engages a reader. With a quick snap of a mobile phone, a potential customer can be swept away to rich digital content such as in-depth product information, videos, promotions, reviews, coupons, contests, online stores and more. An ad that engages a customer, which really creates a memorable experience, is one that will bring in the revenue.
The ideas for using Tag to enhance advertising are just about endless. To promote a clothing line, think about how great it would be to link to a video of a runway shows or an interview with the designer. For food and beverages, Tag could provide readers with enticing recipes, suggest wine pairings or even have to place online orders for easy delivery. Car dealers can engage readers by linking to videos of the latest models, exciting features or road performance. By connecting readers to the endless creativity and interactive nature of digital content, a simple magazine ad suddenly becomes a dynamic experience that will leave your customers with your brand on their mind and their lips.
Microsoft Tag has already hit magazine stands with outstanding performance to date. Allure magazine has relied on Tag to get the word out about their August Free Stuff Giveaway. Thanks to Microsoft Tag, the publication's contest entries increased by 38% last year. They didn't think twice about using Tag for this year's giveaway after last year's success. Readers downloaded the Tag app and scanned the giveaway Tag to register. Then flipping through the magazine, readers scanned Tags that put them in the running for free goodies. Prizes included designer cosmetics, perfumes, shoes, clothing and jewelry.
Women's Day magazine also relied on Tag to spread the word about a promotion, in this case to get the word out about Covergirl's Simply Ageless skincare collection. Readers would scan one of the issue's five different Tags and enter to win the Simply Ageless makeup line, as well as a $500 gift card, an iPod Touch or a gym membership.
Interactive ads within standard print media like the campaigns in Allure and Women's Day are highly engaging and attractive to readers. In fact in a recent study in Folio, 88% of those readers said they enjoyed the experience of watching a sponsored video embedded in an ad and 89% felt that the advertiser was "innovative" for developing the interactive ad experience. Can't argue with those numbers.
What other ways can Tag create engagement among readers? Let us know with your comments below or on Facebook or Twitter.

Its Third Technology Plan is already underway, sponsored by the Government of Navarra, with ambitious objectives for 2011 that give a stronger role to the active partners in the regional R+D+i Plan and its internationalisation. Here you will find all you need to know about the system.
The development of the Third Technology Plan has been conducted through six working parties, split into strategic sectors (renewable energies, biotechnology, agrifood and agriculture, nanotechnologies, information and communication technology and plant, machinery and automotive). This strategic segregation has drastically increased the overall efficacy of the plan.

The number eight pharmaceutical company has seen vaccine and pharmaceutical sales shrink 31% between 2009 and 2011, partly due to patent expirations. The company exhibits a dogged commitment to plan: despite a US government push to vaccinate boys against HPV, the company said girls and women will remain the target group for vaccine Cervarix, yielding the field to Merck's Gardasil; a generic of top seller Advair could launch soon; and the company has also given ground in the OTC market, including selling 17 brands to Prestige Brand Holdings, although it's having trouble unloading weight-loss drug Alli.

Was an open box as stated. Box looked a little rough upon arrival(Bowed out). Trucking company was very nice- driver helped me carry it into the house to open and examine. Found the Tv to be in excellent condition all the manuals, remote controller, instructions to assemble there. Plastic film to protect from scratching on where should be. Customer service at Tech For Less awesome when ordering- said it will come with orginal box and it did. Worth the savings for the slightly damage box. I did tip the driver $20.00 for the help bring it in and waiting 10 minutes while opening and checking it out. Highly recommend Tech For Less- Excellent experience and save $$$$$$$$$$- Jay W.

POTSDAM The $5.5-million expansion to Canton-Potsdam Hospitals 49 Lawrence Ave. campus is progressing on schedule, but changes to the stormwater drainage plan may hold up progress as the village reviews their potential effects.
Potsdam has good reason to worry about stormwater. In 2010 the village flooded, causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage.
The planning board has since been vigilant in making sure new construction does not add to the villages already-taxed stormwater drainage system.
Stormwater drainage was a concern in the hospitals original plan, which was approved in October. That plan called for water to be collected both in above-ground ponds and in underground reservoirs, where it would slowly seep back into the soil. The revision eliminates these underground containers, instead increasing the size of the storage ponds.
Construction began while design work was still being done in order to finish the project as quickly as possible, according to Potsdam architect Brooks A. Washburn. This led to the revision of the original site plan which has the village worried.
Mr. Washburn is acting as a go-between between for local officials and the projects main architects, Lavallee Brensinger Inc. of Manchester, N.H.
The buildings foundation has been poured, and construction on the steel frame will begin next week. Work began in December and continued through the winter despite regular snowstorms.
The building is actually coming along quite smoothly, Mr. Washburn said.
As long as work continues on schedule, the new facility, which will house ten primary-care physicians and an urgent care center, will be open in August.
The village hired GHD Consulting Engineers, Syracuse, to study the proposed system to make sure it would not further tax the villages stormwater flows.
The firm submitted a four-page report to the village Planning Board, which asked several questions it said were left unanswered in the hospitals plans.
We had some issues that we wanted them to respond to before we accept the design, Potsdam Office of Planning and Development Director Frederick J. Hanss said.
The Planning Board will meet at 7 p.m. Thursday to discuss the report with the project architects.
We really have a responsibility to do that, as much as we support the hospitals plans to grow and expand in the village, Mr. Hanss said.
The Planning Board will not take any action on the proposal Thursday. The revised site plan will need to be approved by both the village and the county, although work will continue in the meantime.
The revised plan will be able to handle the same volume of water as the original at a lower cost, according to Mr. Washburn. He said he understands the villages worries that improper drainage could cause problems for the whole village.
Its all part of a larger puzzle, he said.
He said he believes once the Planning Board reviews the changes, it will find them satisfactory, he said.
Mr. Hanss said its possible the plan is fine, but the village needs to do its due diligence.
We just need to be sure, he said.

The 'Golden Bend' in the Herengracht, Amsterdam, Seen from the East, Gerrit Adriaensz. Berckheyde, 1671 - 1672
Due to Amsterdam's explosive population growth, the city experienced several expansions during the 17th century. This painting presents a section of the city's world-famous ring of canals. The bend in the Herengracht depicted here was the domain of the wealthiest. When Berckheyde painted this sun-drenched city view, several houses had yet to be completed, and there were still vacant lots.

I like this traditionally product for wrinkles and acne. Very strong smell not desirable so I mixed with water it good so far. This works wonders in acne and in a weeks saw changes, my skin looks great. Takes times but yielded incredible results.
Alpha Keri was recommended to me by my older sister who is a Hospic nurse. In using this bath moisture rich oil, it leaves my skin soft without a greasy feeling. The fragrance is mild, as to not act up my allergies. I bath in it often, pat myself dry, and my skin is very smooth and nourished. I would recommend this product to everyone.

Those ignoramuses in the 9th Circuit Court have finally done it.
Let it be known and heard around the world, if those evil and conspiring individuals think that I have no right or say as to what my children will be taught in public school, they have another think coming. This effectively puts an end to any monetary support that will come from my pocketbook to this public education fraud that is being perpetrated against the American people.
You might think you have won the battle, but you will ultimately loose the "war" on the minds and hearts of my children or any other children that I have any influence on. I will stand as a witness against all of you that support this kind of garbage at the last day.
Count on it.

ndiswrapper doesn't work reliably with Fedora due to the relatively small 4K default kernel stack size. Windows drivers use a much larger stack and eventually they will exhaust the limits of the default hard coded Linux stack value and cause your system to hang or network connectivity to be flaky.
To be safe, download kernels from Luxuriant, rebuild the kernel using a larger stack, or use Ubuntu, which I think uses the larger stack size by default.
The problem with custom kernels is that yum / apt updates can overwrite your settings and invalidate your efforts. In such a case try disabling kernel updates.
ndiswrapper installation from the tar files is relatively easy to do. I think it also has to be recompiled each time you install an updated kernel too.
Have you tried fw-cutter? It has worked for me in the past with Fedora and was more reliable than ndiswrapper. You are right though, Linux and wireless isn't as easy to do as it should be. I have given up on some of my systems and just plug them into a wireless router or wireless game adapter.

My friend had a three-day stay at Portage Health recently for pneumonia. She was cared for by a hospitalist. What is a hospitalist?
A hospitalist is a physician who spends most or all of their time caring for patients in the hospital. They do this during shifts when they remain at the hospital and have no other duties. They devote their time strictly to taking care of patients already in the hospital, managing new patients as they come in to the hospital, and providing consulting services when requested by other doctors. They are immediately accessible in person to patients and nurses in the hospital.
Hospitalists represent an emerging new medical specialty. They come from family medicine or internal medicine training and often with a focus on hospital and critical care. With dedication to hospital care they gain greater experience in providing care to ill patients in the hospital.
This program at Portage Health began in May 2008 and operates from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Most Portage Health physicians are requesting that the hospitalist care for their patients in the hospital. Dr. Terry Kinzel, Dr. Monsoor Khokhar and Dr. Lori Vaughan are our Portage Health hospitalists. They serve our patients in the hospitalist capacity.
Hospitalists offer the opportunity for improved service by their immediate accessibility and improved care from their greater experience in caring for hospitalized patients.

The structure of the liturgy
"Seven times a day I praise you", says Psalm 118(119), and the Liturgy of the Hours follows this pattern.
For details of each hour, look at the links on the left.
Lauds (Morning Prayer) and Vespers (Evening Prayer) are the two major hours of each day, providing an opportunity for prayer and dedication before starting work and prayer and thanksgiving afterwards.
Compline (Night Prayer) is designed to be said last thing at night. It is short and simple. Indeed, it can be made even shorter and simpler by using Compline for Sunday night on every night of the week - in which case it can be learnt by heart and recited from memory.
The Office of Readings is designed for any time of day. As its name implies, it has two long readings in it: one from Scripture and one from the Fathers of the Church.
Terce, Sext and None are known collectively as the "Little Hours" (or, more respectably, as the Daytime Hours). They are quite short, and intended for use during breaks at work.
The office of Prime
There used to be one more office, Prime, which came between Lauds and Terce. It was abolished in the reforms of 1970.
The manner of its introduction was this: around the year 382, in one of the monasteries near Bethlehem, a problem arose, because after the night offices (which corresponded to the more modern Matins and Lauds), the monks could retire to rest. The lazier ones then stayed in bed until nine in the morning (the hour of Terce) instead of getting up to do their manual work or spiritual reading. The short office of Prime, inserted a couple of hours before Terce, solved the problem, by calling them together to pray before they went out to their tasks.
The revisions of 1985
After the major reforms of 1970, some additional revisions were made to the Liturgy of the Hours in 1985. Many English editions of the Liturgy do not yet include these revisions, because it would be so expensive to reprint the books; but the second Latin edition does. The following are the main changes, as summarised in the decree of the Congregation for Divine Worship dated 7 April 1985:
- The New Vulgate translation of the Bible, formally adopted in 1979, replaces the previous translation of the biblical texts in the long and short readings of the Liturgy.
- Certain texts in the old translation are omitted from the new one, or have a different meaning in the new translation. These have been replaced as necessary.
- The psalm texts have similarly been revised according to the New Vulgate.
- The responsories in the Office of Readings have been revised according to the New Vulgate, except where strong reasons exist for leaving them unchanged (long tradition, established music, liturgical significance).
- Many new antiphons for the Benedictus and Magnificat have been added for Sundays and feast days, taken from the appropriate Gospels.
- The psalms are numbered according to both the Greek (Septuagint) and Hebrew numbering.
We are using this second Latin edition as the basis of everything that we do.

Since there's been some discussion about teenagers on the forum as opposed to people living in the perpetual "almost 30" category, I was wondering if I ought to set a forum area aside for kids-free discussion. I expect that this discussion would center mostly around beer and, to a lesser degree, mortgages.
I had to think for a minute about the best way to divide adults from non-adults, since it seems wrong to pick some number as the arbitrary age boundary.
I think the best way is to ask "Do you live with your mom?" If there's someone else who could set your curfew, whether it's your mom, your grandma, your parole officer, maybe the administrator at your psychiatric institution, etc., then you are not an adult. If you rule your own domain and pay your own bills, then you are. That's easy enough, right?

Bent (1997)
War, Drama, Romance
Sean Mathias directed this screen adaptation of Martin Sherman's award-winning play about the persecution of homosexuals by Nazis during World War II. In Germany, the Nazi party's program of genocide against any and all perceived enemies is coming into full swing when the party begins a violent purge of homosexuals in its membership. Max (Clive Owen), a bisexual playboy, is attending an orgy thrown by drag queen Greta (Mick Jagger) and featuring a number of party members when the festivities are raided by the police; Max and his lover Rudy (Brian Webber) escape, but they are later arrested and sentenced to a concentration camp. En route to the camp, Max betrays Rudy and arranges to be given a yellow identification star, marking him as a Jew, instead of a pink triangle, which would signify him as gay; while the Jews are destined to be executed, gay prisoners receive even more brutal treatment from the guards. While incarcerated, Max meets Horst (Lothaire Bluteau), an inmate who proudly wears the pink triangle. Max and Horst fall in love with each other, and Horst's bravery leads Max to accept his sexual identity. Bent was released in two versions; the original cut was rated NC-17 for a sequence featuring strong sexual content, while a trimmed version was granted an R.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

On Thursday afternoon, Republican Election Commissioner Jerry O. Eaton was in his shirt sleeves, his tie knotted and held in place by his trademark vest, as he pored over Board of Elections reports from the past nine decades, trying to figure out why, exactly, the city of Watertowns election law is so confusing.
The law, enacted by the state Legislature in 1920 and amended in 1922 and 1993, is woefully outdated, according to Mr. Eaton and Democratic Commissioner Babette M. Hall.
And they are not the first Board of Elections officials to say so.
In a 1979 Syracuse Herald American article, Jefferson County Board of Elections Chief Clerk William L. Milton called the law antiquated and not definitive.
Mr. Eatons comments Thursday were a variation on a theme.
Antiquated and archaic, he called it.
Board officials are frustrated in part because a ballot error caught last week by Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham sent them scrambling to reorder and resend hundreds of regular and absentee ballots mere days before the primary election for City Council candidates. But the problem goes much deeper than that.
This law is 93 years old. There are very few laws that go unchanged for that long, even in the state Legislature, Mr. Eaton said.
The law predates absentee voting in the state of New York, Mr. Eaton said, and certain provisions in the law make absentee voting difficult if not impossible.
This year, the board sent out absentee ballots on Aug. 8, 32 days before the election.
According to the state law that is specific to Watertown, however, there could have been a change in candidates as late as one week prior to the election, thereby invalidating all the absentee ballots that had been sent out previously and creating huge headaches for board officials.
In addition, the law was designed in the days prior to electronic voting and should be updated to reflect the use of optical scan voting machines.
The Board of Elections is left in the awkward position of trying to comply with a law that is totally different from every other voting regulation that it follows.
And, to make matters worse, Mr. Eaton and Ms. Hall said, the city has been incommunicative at best as theyve tried to work through the complex language of the law.
Until 2006, the city maintained the lever voting machines used in the primary election and paid the city election inspectors for the primary election. The last city council primary was in 2005.
In 2006, the state turned over the management of all aspects of the citys nonpartisan primary election to the county.
Mr. Eaton and Ms. Hall, who did not become commissioners until after the county took over the primary, said they reached out to the city several times to try to better understand the law. No meetings took place, and they were given only an incomplete version of the law. And their requests for the 1922 and 1993 amendments from the city were met by silence, they said.
Mr. Graham did try to meet with them, said Mr. Eaton, though he and Ms. Hall determined that because the mayor was involved in the political debate, it would not have been appropriate.
As an elected official, he was not necessarily the person we needed to deal with, Mr. Eaton said.
Mr. Graham said that the law does not need to be the subject of continuing controversy and that if the election commissioners have any issues with the law, they should bring them to the attention of city government.
He added that the citys nonpartisan primary election law, an outgrowth of the Progressive Era of political and social reform, may be foreign to the election commissioners, who are political appointees.
I think the systems worked well for us, Mr. Graham said. Youll never see another one created because the parties wont allow it.
Indeed, there is only one other city in the state of New York that has a nonpartisan city election. It is Sherrill, in Oneida County. But in Sherrill, the city runs the election, not the county Board of Elections. Sherrill also has a much smaller population: 3,070 in 2010, compared with Watertowns 27,131 in the same year.
Joking last week that he saved the primary election, Mr. Graham pointed out that the Board of Elections had printed and distributed ballots that instructed voters to select any four of the six candidates running for two open seats this November. The ballots should have said Vote for any TWO, Mr. Graham wrote on his blog.
Board officials acknowledged that the mayor was correct in his assertion and promptly fixed the error.
But now that the primary is behind them, they say that they want to see the law re-examined and updated so it is less confusing for the voters.
There should be no ambiguity when it comes to peoples right to vote. ... Thats a very dangerous thing, Mr. Eaton said.

Stephanie Coontz
For Better AND Worse: The Revolution in Personal Life and Intimate Relationships
The changes in family forms, behaviors, and values across the industrial world over the past 50 years are more dramatic than have occurred before except in short-term periods of extreme disruption – wars, revolutions, and natural disasters. And unlike the changes produced in times of war and revolution, most of these changes, especially those involving marriage, family forms, and intergenerational relationships, are irreversible. Coontz will review new research on the complex and often contradictory nature of these changes and the sometimes surprising trade-offs that have accompanied them.
Rev. Dr. Miguel A. De La Torre
Focus on the Undocumented Family
To focus on the family is to exclude immigrant families which are forced to live in the shadows of the normalized and legitimized families of the dominant culture. Seldom do we ask why "they" come. Why will some leave their loved ones behind to travel on death-causing trails to come here? And once here, how do they survive in an atmosphere designed to deny their humanity? This presentation will 1) explore the forces that cause Latin American immigration and its impact on the family; 2) explore the trails that are taken and the human cost of crossing borders; and 3) ask what it means to be a family once here. In short, the presentation will focus on the undocumented Latino family.
Dr. Margaret A. Farley
Family Matters: Justice and Hope
Both "marriage" and "family" have undergone paradigm shifts in the late 20th and early 21st century. This is true cross-culturally though I will focus primarily on developments in Western cultures. Insofar as marriage and family are "social institutions," their new fragility generates not so much reverence and awe, or expectations of "order" and "safety," than perhaps confusion, uncertainty, fear, and even cynicism–along with often naiive new expectations. At the same time, human yearning for intimacy, stability, intergenerational strength, and open circles of relationship, grows. Among the many perspectives needed to understand and assess the value and fruitfulness of new forms of marriage and family, ethical and moral explorations may contribute to needed clarity and development. Just as human relationships generally ought to be shaped by concerns for justice, so interpersonal and institutional elements in marriage and family can be understood, tested, and shaped by insight into their justice and truth.

Parenting From Our Authentic Selves
In this session participants will be introduced to a workshop series designed for parents of teenagers within a community of faith. Grounded in the work of Parker Palmer and based in story-telling and practices which cultivate awareness, connection and compassion, this workshop encourages participants to explore parenting as a calling rather than a set of problems to be solved. Throughout the series parents gain a greater understanding of how faith can be a resource for parenting and parenting can be a vehicle for spiritual development. Within the workshop we will take participants through a "mini-session" of the full workshop as well as share our materials, discuss what we have learned through facilitating this workshop at First Congregational Church of Berkeley, and how this model could be adapted to other faith settings and with other constituencies.

Creating Ritual for the Life Cycles of Families
Come explore how to create rituals of celebration and letting go throughout the life cycles of families. We'll think about and experience rituals celebrating the many ways adults covenant to become family. We'll imagine the ritual possibilities as some families widen to include children and youth. We'll discover possibilities for coming of age rituals, and for rituals for adults around role and stage of life changes (including all the role changes for family members when someone makes a new public identification of gender). We'll envision the ways we can honor letting go of relationships, individuals, and even of life into death. This workshop will be a dance between talking and brainstorming possibilities, and actually doing some rituals.
Dr. Jon Berquist
From Kinship to the Family of God: Families in Biblical Imagination
For decades, the Religious Right has proclaimed "Biblical family values" – which look suspiciously similar to Victorian-era norms for upper class elites. But the reality of the biblical world points in a very different direction. This workshop will visit a number of biblical passages to understand the true radical and progressive nature of the Bible's images of family life. We'll think together about the range of sex and family from polygamy to celibacy, examine customs that endanger and protect women, explore the creation of alternative communities and family structures, and witness how religion extends human community far beyond biology to form the family of God.
Jorge Blandon
The Family Independence InitiativeThe Family Independence Initiative (FII) is a national organization innovating a family-led approach to economic and social mobility. Since 2001 FII has demonstrated that investing in people's strengths and initiative delivers more powerful, sustainable, and cost effective outcomes for low-income families. Our strength-based approach, as radical and as old as our democracy, is inspired by the historical successes of poor communities in the U.S.
Rev. Adam Blons
Workshop 1: Practical Spiritual Practices in Family LifeModern family life is complex and often parents receive very little support. Rarely do parents feel there is time for spirituality yet parents want to feel more spiritually grounded and want their children to begin exploring the spiritual dimensions of life. This workshop will explore the practical spirituality of family life--the ways parents can reframe everyday tasks to become openings for the Spirit to enliven their families. Participants will discuss the realities of family life and share ideas for practical spiritual practices including: Prayer, Mindful Eating, Sacred Storytime, and Kyrotic Play.
Workshop 2: Bearing Witness to Christian Family Values
With an estimated audience of 300 million people, Focus on the Family (founded by Dr. James Dobson) has successfully dominated the conversation about Christian family values over the last 30 years. Same-sex marriage and abortion issues have brought many progressive Christians into the conversation, but there are so many more aspects of family life to which progressive Christians must speak including: parenting styles, work and family issues, power and equality in partnerships and families, family spiritual formation and elder care, for example. During this year's Earl Lectures, there will be opportunities for all participants to begin to define the landscape of (Progressive) Christian Family Values with an eye towards ministry and activism. There will be a dedicated Facebook Page set up where participants can post reflections and connect during and after Earl Lectures, a workshop dedicated to discernment and the beginning of a statement of (Progressive) Christian Family Values, and other ways to share stories and information that might help in this process.
It is hoped that this process will encourage continued focus on families beyond Earl Lectures including:
- Stimulate speaking topics and scholarship
- Inspire mission, service, and activism to address injustices that families face
- Encourage new forms of family ministry programming in local churches and communities
- Build a network of Progressive Christian family ministry practitioners and organizations
- Broaden dialogue between Christians and people of other faiths around family issues
Dr. Robert Brooks
Building Family among Senior Populations
As Baby Boomers face their own issues with aging, caring for the needs of their parents bring its own unique challenge. What are the ways congregations are able to provide care and community for these "pillars" of the church? While heterosexual contemporaries may have children or other family units to provide support in later years, what happens to the LGBT individuals who have been estranged from their family? Hear the stories of hope and challenge from members of the senior community and those who provide services for them. Learn how congregations can provide support systems for this generation - moderated by scholar and counselor Robert S. Brooks, PhD of CLGS' Coalition of Welcoming Congregations.

Dr. Peter Yuichi Clark
Attending to Families' Spiritual Needs: A Roundtable DiscussionWherever spiritual caregivers are serving – whether a congregational setting, a healthcare environment, the military, law enforcement, emergency and disaster response, industry, or other areas – we inevitably encounter families in great need. This workshop will provide an opportunity to explore how we might better offer spiritual care to families by discussing and strategizing about situations brought by participants from their own ministries. Principles of family systems theory and spiritual care will be introduced as the dialogue unfolds. The group members will pledge themselves to confidentiality in order to facilitate frank, in-depth conversation, and the workshop will not be recorded.
Stephanie Coontz
Working with the Media
This workshop will offer tips on how to reach out to the media, how to handle press queries and interviews, write op eds, and prepare for radio and tv appearances.
Rev. Dr. Miguel A. De La Torre
The Immigration Debate in Light of the Recent Election
With the re-election of Obama, immigration reform has again become a thorny issue which the government is vowing to tackle; nevertheless, pitfalls remains. The workshop will 1) explore the present political climate, 2) discuss why any immigration reform agreed upon will far short of justice, 3) review how people of faith can position themselves to be proactive, and 4) develop an indigenous Hispanic ethical paradigm that can be employed to bring about a more just response to the status quo.
Rev. Dr. Toni Dunbar
Livin' for the City: Urban Families and Theodicy
Livin' for the City observes ways that urban families create, inform, and practice theodicy. Whether in biological families or families of choice, urban—particularly inner-city—families negotiate the presence of God along continuums between Divine love and spiritual judgment, soul salvation and "wages of sin," personal agency and social repression, individual and political/communal responsibility, and when bullets fly, literal life and death. Participants will leave with codes to adopt or reframe conversations about social and theological evils in the inner-city in ways that enhance liberation, healing, restoration, and/or prosperity.

Moving toward Wholeness: Resources for Therapists Working with Clergy and their Families
Clergy members and their partners, spouses and family members walk a unique path of service that impact their well being, ability to manage stress, and relationships with others. Issues of concern include burnout, vicarious traumatization, risk for mood disorders, addiction and narcissistic challenges. Often addictions, eating disorders and other clinical concerns are particularly hidden due to the public nature of their role as clergy. In this workshop we will explore these clinical issues, and discuss the resources, skills and supports available to therapists who work with clergy and their families. We will also discuss the unique challenges that face LGBTQ clergy and clergy of color.
Rev. Barbara Essex
Sister Act: Leah and RachelRelationships between sisters can be very good or very bad. With Leah and Rachel, we get both. Through creative Bible study techniques, see how these sisters overcome their rivalry, work to hold their families together, and leave us with important lessons about family.
Doretha Williams-Flournoy& Bonnie Radden
Healing From the Inside Out: Learning From Lived ExperienceThis workshop will focus on the role of people with "lived experience" with mental health challenges, their family and friends in providing support to people at risk of mental illness within the church. The traditional church is designed to rely on pastors and lay ministers to manage the needs of the congregation. This workshop will explore a model of care that empowers the congregation to care for itself. It also supports efforts to reduce stigma related to mental illness and speaks to the needs of families, individuals in the pews, and clergy for a supportive environment that promotes wellness and recovery.
Dr. Isa Gucciardi
Ho'oponopono: Ancient Mediation Techniques for the Modern Therapeutic Environment
Ho'oponopono is a Hawaiian word which means "making right" or "the coming to peace." It has been an important part of the healing and problem solving practices in Hawaii since the Huna tradition arrived in the Hawaiian Islands some 1200 years ago. It is a mediation process where members of a family or community are brought together "in the very spirit of truth" to resolve underlying issues that contribute to problems, imbalance or lack of harmony. Depth Hypnosis, a spiritual counseling model developed by Dr. Gucciardi, adapts this ancient method of mediation into its counseling model. In this workshop, Dr. Gucciardi will highlight the principles of forgiveness, self-reflection and the participation of spirit that characterize this approach to family and relationship counseling.
Rev. Gina Rose Halpern
End of Life Spiritual Care for Families and Self Care for Caregivers
As if death were not enough, the most heartbreaking and painful end of life issues often revolve around complex and unresolved family dynamics. End of life can evoke historic family dramas, issues of culture and faith, unclear patient wishes for treatment, and conflicting roles as family members become caregivers and mourners. Anger, love, grief and forgiveness all play emotional roles in the process of loss. We will explore the role of spiritual care at the end of life for families in the clinical setting as well as the congregation. This workshop will provide an open place for our hearts to reflect on the nature of loss, and grief, and provide tools to help support self care, as we navigate this tender yet intense landscape that all of us must traverse at some point in our lives.
Sifa Hingano
Polynesian Dance
In this workshop, participants will gain historical insights into the role of Polynesian dance in building extended family and community connections, and experience a contemporary congregation's use of this traditional art in worship and intergenerational outreach ministry.
Robert Hopcke, MFT
The Still Small Voice: Spiritual Direction for Clergy FamiliesIndividual spiritual direction can be an invaluable and even at times necessary resource for clergy and their families. After distinguishing between pastoral counseling, psychotherapy and spiritual direction, in this workshop, Rob Hopcke will be addressing the specific qualities that spiritual direction needs to address when one is providing guidance and spiritual companionship to members of the clergy or their families: grounding oneself in contemplative practice as a balance to an active ministry; helping to find one's spiritual center in the midst of parish conflict or social pressures; ongoing discernment of call or vocation, large and small; making liturgy one's own worship practice; and sustaining spiritual vibrancy for the long term.
Jay Johnson, CLGS
Beyond the Binary: Polyamory and Spirituality (Mudd 100)
Polyamory is the experience of multiple and simultaneous consensual loving relationships and is a recognized pattern of building family and community. This panel session will allow attendees to explore the assumption that monogamy is the sole and ideal pattern for Christian or faith-full relationships. Panelists include David Hall, Shannon Gores, and Francesca Guido. Moderated by Dr. Jay Johnson of CLGS.
Kristi Laughlin
Immigrant Families: Faith models for Solidarity and SupportThis workshop will share the realities facing immigrant families in communities across the United States, especially those who are undocumented. Personal stories will be shared by families impacted by deportation, workplace raids and everyday fear and discrimination faced by immigrants. Faith models will be shared of work done here in the Bay Area by people of faith to accompany families impacted by deportation, mass firings, and show solidarity and support.
Rev. Cheri Lovell, United Church Funds
Thinking Financially Across Generations
Financial realities and choices impact every member of a family- decisions parents make today influence the way their children will handle money many years from now. This workshop highlights essential knowledge and skills families need to develop and share to build healthier financial lives and futures.
Rev. Carol Luther
From Mistaken Literalism to Spiritual Transformation
Few phenomena in today's world are more misunderstood than religion. Is it about God? Humanity? Ethics? Truth? Community? History? Service? Nature? In fact it is about all of the above, all at once. Healthy religion is the glue that holds societies together. Unfortunately, we live in unhealthy times. In a world of warring factions and raging ideologies, religion all too easily becomes more problem than solution. But the healthy vision of God, humanity and world ever beckons, and one of the most exciting places to encounter it is at school. In this workshop, you will learn how one school blends religion and science, ethics, character and service. Join a conversation at which all traditions have a voice. Be prepared to discover new things about yourself. Takeaways guaranteed.

Spirituality and Family Life: What Do Social Scientists Really Know and Not Know?
"Soul mate." "A match made in heaven." "Sacred vows." "The miracle of birth." "A family that prays together stays together." These familiar phrases reflect deep historical ties between faith and family life. Yet social scientists have been far more curious about the "spirituality of me," rather than the "spirituality of us." For example, most scientific research on religion and spirituality has focused on ways that faith can help or harm individuals, not intimate relationships. In this presentation, I will first review what scientists can safely conclude about faith and family relationships from the relatively scarce empirical research on this topic. I will also highlight what scientists don't know. I will then discuss ways that scientists are beginning to take a closer look at specific spiritual beliefs that can either help or harm family relationships. To illustrate helpful spiritual beliefs, I will discuss scientific evidence that viewing one's sexual relationship with a spouse or loving partner as sacred improves the couple's sexual and relationship functioning. To illustrate harmful spiritual beliefs, I will present evidence that viewing a divorce as a sacred loss and violation undermines family members' post-divorce adjustment.
Dr. Annette Mahoney
Shattered Sacred Vows: Recognizing and Helping when Divorce is a Spiritual Trauma
"My family was very religious growing up and when the divorce happened, I lost that religious framework in my life. I saw my family as a sacred entity and then it was shattered." "I am so sorry I hurt her the way I did. I know that God was not and is not looking out for me." These quotes show that divorce can be experienced as a spiritual trauma. In this workshop, I will present scientific findings that adults and their children often interpret divorce as a sacred loss and desecration, and how such beliefs tend to intensify their distress. I will also discuss ways that spirituality can be a unique source of strength in coping with a divorce, or intensify family members' psychological pain and conflict with each other. I also offer practical guidelines to help participants engage in sensitive, yet direct, spiritual dialogues with family members about divorce. My basic premise is that religious communities have a unique opportunity to reach out to families who experience divorce as a spiritual trauma, and will better serve those who have divorced by directly addressing, not overlooking, the spiritual dimensions of this family transition.

Sensory-Rich and Interactive Elements for Intergenerational Worship
All worship is meant to be "M-M-Good" (meaningful and memorable), offering participants connections between life and faith and being provocative enough to live beyond the time and space of the worship event. Sensory-rich and interactive elements in worship are not just about making it more "interesting," but rather offer multiple ways for the message to be experienced and comprehended by all generations and all learning styles. This workshop will be an experiential exploration of this essential understanding. For more information visit McFee's website worshipdesignstudio.com.

The 8th Day Project: A Vision for Theological Education at PSR
The 8th Day Project is Pacific School of Religion's comprehensive effort to re-think theological education for a new day and a new world. Throughout 2012, a Commission on Strategic Direction, composed of trustees, faculty, staff, alumni/ae and students, has led the entire community toward a new vision for educating and equipping leaders and changemakers who are compelled by their faith to bring God's promises of well-being and justice for all the earth into being. At this session, learn more about the new vision for PSR. This is your chance to ask questions, offer feedback, and be part of PSR's future. See excerpts of the vision at www.psr.edu/futureofpsr

Alternative Families: Retirement as Intentional Community
Eleanor Scott Meyers, a retired theological educator, has lived for seven years at Pilgrim Place—a retirement community in Claremont, CA. Using her personal experience at Pilgrim Place and her training as a sociologist, Eleanor will explore with workshop participants the value of an intentional, faith-based, intergenerational community of elders as a model of an 'alternative' family.

Inclusive Wedding Ceremonies
"Does your church do gay weddings?" has perhaps been the most frequent inquiry received at MCC churches since 1968 when the movement began. "With pleasure!" we proudly replied. "Are they legal?" often followed, to which we replied, "Not Yet!" "Are they illegal?" "In some places, yes, which is why we call them Holy Unions, to avoid prosecution." "We don't care if it's illegal- we just want to get married...in church." When the minister made the pronouncement, "What God has joined together, let no one- no state, no church, no person put asunder what is precious and holy and honorable in God's sight," people applauded loudly, cheered, and cried at this point, never dreaming that non-gay churches would ever perform such ceremonies, and never expecting them to be legal. Now that we see a shift in both denominational practice and legal status, it's time to to ask whether the ceremonies we use need revision, for both same sex and mixed-sex couples seeking a church blessing. In this workshop we will look specifically at the traditional marriage ceremony from the Book of Common Prayer used by many Protestant clergy for mixed-sex couples, as well the newly approved Relationship Blessing materials just approved by the Episcopal Church for same sex couples, examining their liturgical, theological and practical implications. Is it time for a new marriage rite for a new day? What would it look like?

Lot's Daughters Speak: What Churches and Faith Communities Can Do to Prevent Child Sexual AbuseHere is what we know: in your church and community, 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually molested before the age of 18. 80%–90% of the time, the child knows and trusts the abuser and over half the incidents of child sexual abuse occur in the family. How do we respond? How do we stop it? It is one of the deepest, most heartbreaking, complicated and emotionally volatile social and personal issues we can be faced with in our families, faith communities and ministries. It is easy to get overwhelmed by this daunting reality especially when we feel we don't have the understanding, tools or language to address it. Drawing on the work of faith leaders who spent a year hosting conversations with groups of parishioners, young people, faith leaders, seminarians and others to talk openly about people's experiences with child sexual abuse and what we can do together to prevent it, this workshop will offer practical suggestions and guidelines about how churches can prevent child sexual abuse, help survivors and create healthy faith communities.

Justice for Families: Families Unlocking Futures: Solutions to the Crisis in Juvenile JusticeJustice for Families (J4F) recently completed a national family-driven research study examining the experiences of more than 1,000 families of juvenile justice system-involved youth nationally. The report, Families Unlocking Futures: Solutions to the Crisis in Juvenile Justice, dispels the myth that the families of youth involved in the criminal justice system are to blame for their involvement. It demonstrates that these families are working hard to support their loved ones' success despite the barriers placed in front of them by juvenile justice systems. J4F will present findings and discuss how we can build a solution-oriented movement for safety and prosperity in all communities.
Rev. Penny Phillips
Moral Injury, Military Culture, and Working with Vets and Their Families
This presentation will focus on US Veterans and the various military cultures of which they are a part. Discussion will include how faith communities can be welcoming and supportive of Veterans and their families while they are deployed as well as when they return home. The important issue of moral injury will be shared. Suggestions for local faith communities will be included.
Dr. Caitlin Ryan
The Family Acceptance Project: Integrating Research, Compassion & Faith to Strengthen and Help Diverse Families Support their LGBT Children
Compelling research from the Family Acceptance Project shows that families play a critical role in decreasing risk for suicide, substance abuse and HIV and promoting self-esteem, health and well-being for their LGBT children. This research has linked family rejection – including religiously-based rejection – with high levels of suicide, depression, drug use, and sexual health risks, HIV and STDs. Over the past decade, the Family Acceptance Project (F.A.P.) has been pioneering the first evidence-based family intervention model to help religiously diverse families decrease their LGBT children's risk and promote well-being -- in the context of family, culture and faith. Dr. Ryan will discuss F.A.P.'s key research findings, approaches to empowering ethnically and religiously diverse families to support their LGBT children, and resources, tools and strategies for family education and support.
Dr. Bernard Schlager
Queer Families in HistoryThere have been many models of alternative families throughout history and this workshop will consider several examples of family structures that lay outside the norm. Particular attention will be paid to non-traditional family structures in Western Christian history.
Laura S. Scott
Two is Enough: Embracing the Childless FamilyOne in five women will remain childless by choice or by circumstance in the USA and Canada, yet there remains a tendency to presume eventual parenthood for all and exclude, or to make assumptions or judgments about the beliefs, decision-making, and lifestyles of those who are navigating a life without biological children. Laura S. Scott invites those who have a stake in the inclusion of childless partners and singles to learn more about the motives and decision-making of the voluntarily childless, and to examine the assumptions, perceptions, and the myths that can block us from a full understanding of, and respectful engagement and fellowship with, this emerging demographic.
Rev. Roland Stringfellow
Working with Families of Color on LGBT Acceptance
Attendees will gain practical information on how to begin the conversation on helping congregations of color become more inclusive of their LGBTQ family and church members by engaging them in theologically sound curriculums that are have cultural resonance for African-American, Latino/a and Asian Pacific Island Christians. This panel discussion includes the theologians who conduct this work in their various communities.
Rev. Lauren Van Ham
Working with Multi-Faith Families
Many resources exist to support families where two established faith traditions are being woven together (i.e. one parent is Catholic, the other Jewish); but what are we offering for the multi-faith family(those who identify as interfaith, or those who practice a co-mingling of traditions)? What might prove helpful for the, "spiritual-but-not-religious" family? How does the multi-faith family resolve conflict? Make decisions? Establish traditions, celebrate rituals, or make meaning in difficult times? In this workshop, we will call upon the wisdom of the seasons, the teachings of myriad religions, as well as the rich rites-of-passage practiced in various cultures to explore spiritual well-being and meaning-making for multi-faith families.
