CANTON Amid cries from St. Lawrence County Public Health employees that they had been betrayed, legislators voted 14-1 Tuesday to eliminate 32 jobs by closing the countys Certified Home Health Agency and Long Term Home Health Care Program and transferring the patients to one of its competitors in the private sector.
You werent given all the facts, Public Health employee Diana Caswell said. We know we, the employees, have not had a voice.
Despite the appeals of more than 50 Public Health employees and their supporters who forced the legislative budget review session to the state Supreme Courtroom where there was more room, legislators agreed to negotiate an agreement with Health Services of Northern New York, another certified home health agency.
The closure of the county agency, which was projected to have a net county cost in 2013 of $648,444, will likely not save the county much money next year because it will not be phased down for some months. Officials planned to spend the next few days determining which employees could move to other positions, how much the county could expect to pay for unemployment, and how much it might save on health insurance. Of the 32 employees, four are home health aides, 11 are clerical and 17 are nurses.
If the transfer is completed by April 1, there will be few changes in the total cost for next year. Some costs that had been reimbursable through the CHHA would have to be picked up by other Public Health programs.
This is an estimate based on assumptions, Public Health fiscal manager Debra L. Bridges said.
In March, legislators rejected an offer for $80,000 from Northern Lights, a nonprofit that is a partnership of Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center, Hospice and Palliative Care of St. Lawrence Valley and United Helpers Management Co. for the two agencies. Northern Lights, which was recently approved by the state to operate a CHHA, is no longer interested in the county agencies because it has developed its own business plan, County Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire said.
Health Services, whose parent company is Hamister Group, Williamsville, previously offered $2 for the county agenciess two operating certificates.
More than the money, were looking for a smooth transition, Ms. St. Hilaire said. We have not met yet to talk about the particulars. One of the issues we will talk about is employment of our people. That will be a key issue.
After legislators turned down the offer from Northern Lights, they pledged to rebuild the county agency so it could compete.
Amy J. Simmons, president of the countys Civil Service Employees Union, said she questioned the purchase of computer software, money for outside agencies, the hiring of a trails coordinator and a lobbyist but thought the expenditures acceptable if county workers were not cut.
Unfortunately, it doesnt appear the CHHA has that same level of support, she said. Are you willing to put 35 workers on the unemployment line on ifs and maybes?
Other Public Health employees criticized Director Susan J. Hathaway for not believing the agency could succeed.
The promise of strong management and 100 percent support did not materialize, Public Health employee Mary Grady said.
We do not feel our true needs were brought by management, she said.
Ms. Hathaway said county legislators supported the CHHA by allowing the department to hire nurses, train them and take on patients, but that the financials were not in the countys favor because of state goals to cut Medicaid costs. The county CHHA receives a Medicaid reimbursement rate of $179 because its costs are higher based on its benefit package, while the rate for a visit by Health Services of Northern New York is $104.
We have done our job and done it well, she said. The bottom line is New York state no longer supports publicly-run CHHAS.
Earlier this year, the state lifted a moratorium on new CHHAs to coincide with a redesign of Medicaid. Health Care of Rochester and Visiting Nurse Service of New York CHOICE have also applied to operate in the county.
Rather than have the county CHHA wither away, Ms. Hathaway said it made more sense for the county to provide a transition under which its employees could seek jobs with the other incoming agencies so that they could have long-term security.
Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction, who raised questions about whether the private agencies would serve patients in remote parts of the county, was the sole nay vote.
Public Health was not the only department scrutinized by legislators Tuesday.
At the request of Emergency Services Director Joseph M. Gilbert, legislators also eliminated the position of his deputy, who was paid approximately $49,000. Mr. Gilbert had earlier sought a dispatcher manager but said he wanted to assess the department more before possibly returning next year to ask for the position.
Overall, the employee losses approved Tuesday, plus about 10 expected retirees and other personnel cuts made earlier, could bring the number of staff reductions to 50 for next year.
Legislators also approved cuts of $291,201 from the Department of Social Services proposed by Director Christopher R. Rediehs that do not include further staff reductions.
The tentative budget of $55,711,312 in county costs initially carried a tax levy increase of 20 percent, but reductions by legislators in recent weeks has cut the levy increase below 15 percent. Last year, legislators approved a tax levy of $46 million that carried an increase of 5.5 percent.

The New York Times recently reported a study from the Center for Constitutional Rights in which it was revealed that Black and Latino people were nine times more likely to be stopped and frisked by police in New York. As the article notes, this study was a response to issues that the organization feels are a result of a Supreme Court decision to allow officers to "briefly" detain people for "reasonable suspicion." What they found is that even though people of color are stopped for "reasonable suspicion" more often, they are not arrested any more often than white individuals. Interestingly enough, white people were found to be arrested and possess a weapon slightly more often.
Numerous scholars have shown the obvious negatives effects of police stereotyping, or profiling as it is termed, on people of color. However, an interesting consequence to think about is the amount of White "blue-collar" criminals not getting stopped because they do not fit the stereotype, or profile, of a "blue-collar" criminal. In fact, in a 1996 study, Gordon, Michels, and Nelson, showed that people significantly underestimated the amount of "blue-collar" crimes that White criminals commit. Moreover, Gordon and his colleagues found that White criminals are overly estimated to be "white-collar" criminals, as opposed to "blue-collar" criminals. Therefore, it is likely that some of the results presented in the New York Times article are due, at least to some degree, to the fact that white people do not fit the stereotype (i.e. profile) of a "blue-collar" criminal. Consequently, racial profiling may be allowing some criminals to walk free because they do not fit the profile and are therefore not eliciting "reasonable suspicion".

T-Mobile is looking to make bold moves that could potentially be game changers. In an increasingly competitive field that is being predominantly shaped both technology and device manufacturers rather than the telecommunications companies themselves, it is any wonder that T-Mobile is looking to change the game than continue to struggle with the rules of engagement as they currently stand.
Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! Discover the latest innovative protection solutions... stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
So, when T-Mobile's chief marketing officer, Cole Brodman voiced strong opinions relative carrier subsidies by claiming they adversely affecting the mobile industry... his words had deep and reverberating echoes.
According to Mr. Brodman, these subsidies are doing more damage than good to the mobile industry. He explained it as "It actually distorts what devices actually cost and it causes OEMs, carriers — everybody to compete on different playing fields, and I think it is really difficult, especially from a consumer perspective, because it causes consumers to devalue completely the hardware they are using […] It is amazing hardware, but it has become kind of throw away. So, it is unfortunate, you've got dual-core, multiprocessor devices with amazing HD screens that get thrown away at 18 months."
Enhance your mobility and turn your device into a power tool! Discover select accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables and glider gloves all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
And to be fair, he has a point. We live in an era of consumption and instant gratification. If something new comes out, we want the bragging rights of being the first of our friends and family to have said technology - the Apple product lines exemplifies this consumer appetite. The subsidies make it easier to underuse and undervalue the hardware in our hands because it is relatively easy and inexpensive to replace when signing multi-year contracts with purchase. Still, there are battery, memory and other accessories that, Cole Brodman, spoke at the most recent GeekWire technology summit in Seattle and voiced opinions about carrier subsidies that are contrary to the norm, it was an expectedly unexpected move t can extend the life and functionality of these devices.
In fact, this may well be revolutionary talk to the current regime. With unlocked cell phones consumers can choose a carrier based on service and best plans. If the telecommunications carriers played by that game, consumers would have more choice and carriers could do what they do best: provide service at a reasonable price.
If the other carriers choose to not follow suit, this kind of move is risky. Brodman believes that if subsidies are removed, the company could compete without the iPhone 4S series as they "have fantastic alternate choices" spanning Android, Windows, and RIM platforms.

For the past two days I have been piecing together Snail Trail blocks. I have tried foundation piecing and cutting the pieces from strips and I keep ending up with blocks that are either not the right size or have a wonky edge that does not allow enough seam allowance to sew another block to it. I am really frustrated and have searched the internet only to find all kinds of blogs and tutorials, none of which offer any solid information on how to piece this block so you end up with the size you desire. I can calculate the size triangles necessary, measure twice and cut once, be AR about my seam allowances and still cannot get two blocks the same size produced. If anyone can offer some sound advice and solid construction tips for creating this block in multiples to make a quilt, I would be truly grateful and thankful. Thanks so much!
Klaudeen Hansen has a pattern that does what you need. Her snail mail address is P.O. Box 253, Sun Prairie WI 53590, phone 608-837-2298. The pattern doesn't give an email address, but you might be able to google her.
Hi Sue... are you sure that yr needle is in the correct position? I was working on a similar quilt, then had to make a dress, and forgot to move the needle back into position... also, double check yr seams when you are ironing :)
HI alliegalinoz........I am not sure what you mean when you say the "correct" position. I have my needle set so the seam allowance is a scant 1/4". I make sure the needle is in position before sewing each section. I am pressing every time I add a triangle but am finding that positioning the triangles in exactly the right spot is very tricky. I have starched the fabric before cutting to help cut down on the bias seams stretching and am VERY careful to let the feed dogs on the machine carry the fabric. The last two sections of the block are problematic. The very last triangle added always seems to come up short, despite my best efforts to keep everything in line. There MUST be a way to properly piece this block!
i'd say paper piecing, but that would drive me to drink ....
this link has an optional cutting guide http://quilting.about.com/od/quiltpatternsprojects/ss/snails_trail.htm
good luck, :)
Thank you to all those that responded. My guess is that this is a tricky block and others are experiencing the same issues I am. I figured out how to piece it so the block comes out square and have made about 15 blocks now. This is a fiddly block, and attention to detail is critical. I am curious why the people who publish this pattern do NOT tell a few of the tips I have learned to make this block work each time. Well, I must say, the patterns I have seen published. Perhaps there is a pattern published that does indeed offer construction tips that will keep the quilter from being frustrated and I have not seen it. Anyway, I wanted to thank those that offered assistance! It is much appreciated!!
Another thing to check is which seams you are putting on the bias. Certain blocks get really fiddly when the bias is not in a particular place! I had a block I had to remake 3 times before I figured that out.
Cheryl / Muppin
my website
my blog
HI Cheryl......Can you elaborate on which seams need to be on the bias? I am piecing this as a four patch surrounded by half square triangles, all sewn on the bias. Are you referring to the method of piecing this that is sixteen small squares, some half square and some quarter square triangles? Can you elaborate on where the "particular place" that the bias need to be located please? Any help greatly appreciated!!
I'm talking about the half square triangles. The straight of grain should be the 90 degree angle and the bias should be the 'slant' part. I hope this helps!
Thanks Cheryl......I have been cutting my half square triangle this way. I did manage to figure out how to do this block, but I suspect others have problems with it too. I found by starching the fabrics first the bias tended to stay put instead of stretch and my squares ended up more square. Thanks for your replies!
As a help, Eleanor Burns, Quilt in a Day, has a video tutorial on this very design, also known as Pig's Tail and Virginia Reel. We are currently doing this as part of our local quilt class monthly project. I am in a Secret Sisters year long class to create EB quilts in El's Kitchen book at Sewing Solutions Quilt Shop in NE Indiana. GoodLuck with making the blocks. They do look harder than they are.
Check out the video on this very block on Eleanor Burns web site. We are currently doing this very block in our Secret Sisters Class at Sewing Solutions Quilt Shop in NE IN. hblock is alo known as Pig's Tail and Virginia Reel. Patten is part of EB book of El's Kitchen Quilts.
Thank you Vic. I did manage to get this block figured out, and am able to sew them identically now. The tips in this video would have helped me so much at the beginning, so I thank you for directing me to them! Hope your Secret Sisters class is super successful!!
Su :-)
hope you have the block figured out by now.
there is a much easier way of sewing half square triangles. cut strips - on the straight of grain. at least a half inch wider than you need them (including the seam allowance). starching, before cutting also helps. cut a strip from each of the 2 fabrics needed for the full square.
sew the 2 strips together, long sides together. press . now you can cut an appropriate size square from the pieced strip. you will need to trim all 4 sides. keep thediagonal of the square on the stitched line. this is easier and more accurate - because you are no longer dealing with a bias edge when putting the square into the block. plus, you have already sewn the bias edge, and pressed the bias, before cutting to size.
i admit it has been a long time since i made a snail's trail block - but i don't remember it being a problem. did you draft a pattern - full size, on paper, before going to fabric ? and double check the size of the pieces (including seam allowance) before cutting pieces ? starching always helps. and i always make the half triangle squares, as a square, before putting it into a block; that way the bias has already been dealt with; and is not a problem when putting it into the block.
i love snail's trail block . the way it looks like curves, but using all straight lines. i love the movement it creates over the surface of the quilt. and LOTS of ways to color it. curved snail's trail blocks are interesting also. ckquilter

The Carbon High Volleyball team is ready to play on their own home court and in front of the home town fans.
After spending the first two weeks of the season traveling to St. George for a tournament and playing back-to-back away games in Richfield and Salt Lake City, Carbon High will open the home part of their schedule with a game against the rival Emery Lady Spartans.
Carbon High head coach Danielle Jensen said the team had some difficulty putting everything together in two losses to Richfield (18-25, 12-25, 28-26, 13-25) on Aug. 23 and Judge Memorial (20-25, 23-25, 16-25) on Tuesday evening.
"We had a rough night against Judge," Jensen said. "We've just had a tough time generating offense on a consistent basis."
Despite the losses, Jensen said the Lady Dinos (2-4) have not shown any quit and did not back down in any game this season.
Jensen and the Lady Dinos are hoping a home game is just what the team needs to get back on track.
"It's tough to play and win on the road so coming home to play a game can be a confidence for us," she explained.
The Lady Dinos will host Emery High (1-1) tonight with the varsity game scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m.

Antarctica is a dynamic and diverse continent with mountains, volcanoes, deserts, fossils, and some of the Earth's most ancient crust. The continental shelves and ocean basins surrounding Antarctica record ice-sheet histories as well as unique geodynamic processes and other geologic phenomena. Much of this geology is hidden beneath thick ice sheets or beneath the sea; therefore, innovative approaches are needed to decipher its history. Projects supported by the Antarctic Earth Sciences (AES) Program provide insights into Antarctica's rich history and lead to increased understanding of the processes that shape it today.
AES encourages and supports field, laboratory, and theoretical work in both terrestrial and marine settings in the fields of geology, geophysics, and other areas of earth sciences.
Emphasis areas include but are not limited to:
The program also strongly encourages work on existing samples and data. Proposers should investigate availability from individual researchers and repositories such as:
UNAVCO: GNSS Support to the National Science Foundation, OPP/Antarctic Program, 2006-2007 season (A report on support for scientific applications of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems)

En español | Q: I get $1,250 a month in retirement benefits from Social Security. My brother-in-law gets $1,500. We had similar careers and our earnings were about the same. Why does he get more than I do?
A: There could be several reasons. Social Security benefits are based on your lifetime earnings, and it's possible that your earnings and your brother-in-law's differed somewhat through the years, however you may recall the numbers. (And keep in mind that people don't always tell you what they really make.) It would not be surprising to find there were significant differences early in your careers, when earnings tend to be unsteady or even missing for a year or two.
Sign up for the AARP Money Newsletter
Another factor to consider is the age at which you both began your benefits. You can start at 62, but at a reduced level. If you and your brother-in-law began at different ages, that could explain a difference in your payments.
In addition, if he continued to work after he began benefits and his earnings were higher than the earnings originally used in setting the amount, that could have pushed his benefit up.
Q: So how exactly does Social Security set the level of a benefit?
A: It determines the dollar figure using several complicated formulas. Computers do most of the work.
When you apply for benefits, the machines calculate what Social Security calls your primary insurance amount (PIA). It's the basic sum you're due when you reach full retirement age, now 66 for new retirees.
To come up with your PIA, Social Security computers go back through your year-by-year employment history and adjust or "index" the earnings numbers to reflect increases in national wage levels over the years. The idea is to convert your past earnings to present-day values and make your benefits reflect the general rise in the standard of living that occurred during your working lifetime.
The computers then base the PIA on the 35 years in which you earned the most. If you worked fewer than 35, zeroes are entered for the missing years.
The PIA calculation also reflects a key fact of life about Social Security: People who earned more generally get higher benefits than low-wage earners. To partially level this playing field, however, Social Security uses a progressive formula that tends to reduce benefits for high-wage earners and increase them for low-wage earners, who may have had fewer chances to save and invest for retirement.
For example, in 2013, someone who made only about $12,000 had roughly 60 percent of that income "replaced" by Social Security, while the figure for a person making around $26,000 was only about 37 percent.
Although the PIA establishes the number of dollars you're entitled to at full retirement age, your actual monthly payments can vary depending on when you start benefits. If you take them before you reach full retirement age, they'll be reduced. If you wait until a later age, your payments will be increased. Benefits top out at 70.
Community: Share your fears about Social Security. Join the discussion
Q: How much money do beneficiaries actually receive?
A: The maximum Social Security benefit at full retirement age in 2014 is $2,642 per month. To achieve this level, you would need to have made or exceeded the maximum amount of income that's subject to the Social Security tax, also called the FICA tax, for 35 working years. (In 2014, the ceiling is $117,000.)
But the average benefit for 38 million retired workers in 2014 is about $1,297 a month. About 2.3 million spouses of these workers receive an average of $651 a month, while 634,000 of their children get an average $634 a month.
Payments also go to about 6.2 million survivors of deceased workers. That group includes:
- 1.9 million children, who receive a average $816 month.
- More than 3.8 million widows and widowers, who get $1,246 a month.
- 257,000 disabled widows and widowers, who draw $716 a month.
There also are more than 9 million adults whose benefits are based on disability:
- 8.9 million disabled workers, who get $1,146 a month.
- 153,000 spouses, who receive $308 a month.
Social Security estimates that last year, 88 percent of the U.S. population age 65 and older were receiving benefits. Also, about 96 percent of workers ages 20 to 49 had enough credits to acquire Social Security survivor protection for their children under 18.

text: Last summer my friend Tony and I began watching feature-length films that portray artists. Growing up in the US, these films were our first models for what it meant to live and behave like an artist. Watching them again has been an exercise in nostalgia but also a critical investigation into the national image of the artist. A few weeks into our research a friend pointed us to an excellent survey of artists-in-film by Temporary Services called Framing the Artists. It includes Bucket of Blood (1959) and Color Me Blood Red (1965), two B movies we had already watched that cast artists as serial killers. These are just two of dozens of films we found that not only stereotype artists but cast them as sociopaths, idiots, misanthropes etc. This from Temporary Services: It is our contention that by continually watching, cataloging, and analyzing these portrayals, artists can also gain a better understanding of their own responsibilities to their viewers and how the stereotypes hurt their abili...

MASSENA - The Massena Police Department is investigating two residential burglaries that have been reported in the last few days.
These burglaries occurred at residences that are seasonally vacant due to the occupants relocating to warmer climates during the winter months.
These properties are not located near each other and at this time we do not have any information which leads us to believe these burglaries are connected in any way, Massena Village Police Chief Timmy J. Currier said Tuesday.
We are encouraging family members and neighbors of known seasonally vacant properties to check those properties for signs of activity and to be observant for suspicious activity, he added.
If anyone discovers a break in or observes anything suspicious at residences in the village, they should immediately contact the Massena Police Department at 769-3577.

Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment in Florida
Addiction treatment at The Florida House Experience is different. Most drug and alcohol treatment centers around the country utilize a 28-day treatment model, which has proven to be less successful in the treatment of drug addiction and alcoholism. Unlike this model, drug rehab at The Florida House Experience begins with a safe medical detox, followed by the gradual transition to lower levels of care, and ultimately, living on your own in a healthy, sober environment. The Florida House Experience provides a comprehensive, fully-integrated and all-inclusive gender-specific program that specifically targets all aspects of substance abuse treatment. We also have a fully staffed Medical Clinic on-site that provides around the clock support for our patients and Alumni.
We Don't Believe in a Cookie-Cutter Addiction Treatment Plan
We recognize that one size does not fit all in addiction treatment. We have developed individualized gender-specific programs for the treatment of Young Adults, Professionals, Baby Boomers and patients struggling with trauma and/or co-occurring disorders. At the Florida House we recognize that addiction is a disease that requires a comprehensive therapeutic approach and the active involvement of the family unit to achieve stable, long-term recovery.
Start the Road to Deerfield Beach Drug Rehab In a Safe, Comfortable Environment
Committing to treatment is scary— we recognize this fact and we have designed our facility and our programs to keep you safe and comfortable. Our upscale medical detox center is equipped with 800 thread count sheets, flat screen TV's in every room, rain-showers and plush towels in every bath, and a fully stocked dining room with ice cream machines and unlimited snacks. For your safety our medical staff is with you 24 hours a day. Upon completion of detox we offer high quality accommodations, gender specific swimming pools and an on-site café which offers delicious meals and snacks on our outdoor patio. Our holistic Wellness Center offers massage therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, yoga and a state-of-the-art fitness center. All of these amenities are located on our beautiful all inclusive campus.
The Florida House Experience is a nationally recognized, CARF accredited facility that has been helping struggling addicts for almost a decade. We accept most major health insurances and credit cards.
If you or a loved one is struggling with substance abuse we can help. Please contact The Florida House Experience at 866-421-6242.

So that's why I haven't won the lottery! Does this means that God didn't really tell Oral Roberts he would die if he didn't raise $8 million? I'm shocked. (Well, he got his $8 million all those years ago, but he died anyway. What does that say about God?)
The video makes so much sense, even a 5th grader should understand it. But I'm sure it will have absolutely no effect on true believers who see what they believe.

I actually came to this blog because the search engine seemed to think it was related to a review of The God Delusion that I just wrote. After searching around, it seems that I was misled, but I think the book is still relevant to the topic of this blog. My review is basically analytical and sympathetic, though I disagree with a few minor points. As regards this blog, I don't recall him saying that much about evangelical Christianity specifically, though I personally studied it quite a bit many years ago...

Those who seek a formulaic approach towards the divine are not superior in their need for God's grace, that is for sure. But one of the most compelling results of prayer that I have experienced is an inner change (the kingdom of heaven is within).

I remember reading in a Christian counseling book that evangelical Christians are the most likely to divorce, but couple who PRAY TOGETHER often are much less likely to divorce. I wish I could remember which book it was so that I could look up the reference.
I know born again Christians get divorced at a slightly higher rate than average, but I find it reasonable that couples who take the time to pray together every day in general do not get divorced. Of course, only close couples would pray together, and people who pray together every single day are very religious, and very religious people are not supposed to get divorced.

I am curious as to your take on this video? Christians often talk about the fact that prayer changes the person praying more than it changes events in the world and that may be true, but the Bible seems to talk a lot about actually GETTING THINGS DONE with prayer. This video seems to show pretty clearly that the yes, no wait glasses that you view prayer through allow even inanimate objects to answer every prayer.

Jeff wrote this: "This video seems to show pretty clearly that the yes, no wait glasses that you view prayer through allow even inanimate objects to answer every prayer."
Hi Jeff - I have found that God is not limited in His ability to respond and approach humanity in accordance with our heartfelt preferences. "Yes", "No", or "maybe" as the only expectations for God's answers sounds as though one might be addressing a robot. If I were God, I might be tempted to be offended but He is gracious towards we who are small minded.
So, for me, this video is a good representation of what I believe has happened regionally to faith - that it has become infected with pride and idolotry (Jesus spoke about this and warned about it in a parable addressing ppl who approached Him with a list of their "accomplishments" in perpetrating double standards and hypocrisy) .
I think this video does a good job of bringing idolotry to light.

- Manifesting Mini Me (MMM) said...
Also Jeff I wanted to talk a little more about this: "Christians often talk about the fact that prayer changes the person praying more than it changes events in the world and that may be true,"
If a believer allows God to change themselves inwardly, it will show outwardly. When I first was a believer, I came to the realization that I was terrified of hearing from God - I had gotten my notions about the supernatural from ppl in my real life and I never knew or realized that. So, it was/has been quite an overcoming to trust that He isn't going to scold me, condemn me, or hold me in contempt or make unreasonable demands of me. This persona that I had projected upon God was what idolotry is about and it kept me "blind" and "deaf" for most of my life.
Nice talking to you,

Mostly dropped by again because I subscribed to several blogs related to my recent blog entry (on Dawkins's book), and this seems to be the most active one. On today's visit, I actually watched the video, and I'm afraid I didn't find it any more persuasive or interesting that it seemed to be. Dawkins handled the topic more skillfully, actually--but he did spend a lot longer on it. He actually included that study and some others.
Anyway, I've never been interested in the Christianity website you (our host) mentioned, but I'm curious what basis they would have for any "No" answer from a so-called 'just God', at least as regards sincere prayers coming from a true believer.
Of course, being a nasty old logician, then I'd ask what God would do when one true believer sincerely prayed against the prayer of another.
By the way, I'm revising that review of the book to consider the paradoxical relationship of religion to evolution and historical trends in new religions.
(I had to delete this reply just to fix a spelling mistake...)

Whitewater, WI -- The Beloit College Men's Basketball team came up just short of a huge upset as they opened their 2012-13 season, dropping a 75-68 decision at 3rd-ranked UW-Whitewater on Saturday night.
The Warhawks are the defending NCAA Division III National Champions.
Beloit scored the first eight points of the game and had what would be their biggest lead of the night at 20-10 nine minutes into the contest. UWW came back and pulled to within 20-17 at the 8:46 mark before taking their first lead at 6:07, 24-23. But the Bucs closed the half on a 14-6 run to lead 37-30 at the break.
Beloit held a narrow lead through the first 11 minutes of the second half until Whitewater grabbed their first lead since the opening half at 60-59 with 8:37 remaining. The game went back and forth for the next three minutes until the Warhawks took the lead for good at the 5:10 mark, increasing it to six with 2:01 left. Tyler Butke's basket with 1:45 remaining brought Beloit back within four but that was as close as they'd get as UWW closed out the game.
James Lazarcik had a double-double with 23 points and 15 rebounds while Butke added 22. Steve McAfee scored 14 with eight rebounds in his first collegiate game.
The Buccaneers have a short turnaround before opening their home season on Tuesday night when they host Lakeland College in Flood Arena. Tipoff is at 7:00 p.m.

WASHINGTON Jim Boeheim is known to be a stubborn man, adhering strictly to the principles that have helped him win 919 games during his highly successful 37-year tenure at Syracuse.
He doesnt change things for change sake, nor does he react positively to those who question his strategy, tactics or coaching acumen.
So when critics question why he plays so much zone defense when the game is now quicker and more physical than ever, Boeheim just shrugs his shoulders and says, because we believe in it.
I learned a long time ago that you stick with what you do best, he said Friday. Over the years, weve played a lot of man-to-man with zone sprinkled in. Once our zone got better, we still played some man. But it came to a point where our zone became so much better, and I didnt want to waste time in practice on the man-to-man. So weve stuck with it.
So about four years ago, Boeheim ditched the man-to-man altogether and switched strictly to the 2-3 zone. Even against some of the weaker nonconference opponents against whom he always tried some man-to-man.
I really made the decision after we lost to LeMoyne (in a 2009 exhibition game), Boeheim said. My ego isnt big enough to prevent me from making a decision that will help the team.
But this isnt your mothers 2-3 zone. Boeheim and his assistants have tweaked it to where it relies on a lot of man-to-man principles, and often is a matchup zone in certain areas.
Youre always putting in new wrinkles because teams, especially in our conference, have adjusted to how we play the zone, he said. But its not just the zone. Its the guys we have playing it. We look for players who can adapt to it quickly, and are especially suited to how we focus on certain areas.
That is a tough proposition. Most high school players are not accustomed to playing much zone, let alone for an entire game. So their learning curve is much longer.
And, most high profile high school stars are more concerned with offense than defense anyway. College coaches have to teach many of them how to defend with fundamental instruction.
There is not a lot of defense at the high school or AAU level anymore, Boeheim said. But here at least the kids try to understand it, and they know its a weapon.
I knew Syracuse played mainly zone, but it was so much different than I ever imagined, SU junior forward C.J. Fair said. It took quite a bit of time to learn the right rotations, where to be in certain situations and just communicating with my teammates.
Boeheim and his assistants have always targeted a specific type of athlete, one which will enhance the zone. He goes after bigger guards who can contend with 3-point shots, long-arm wing players who cover a lot of territory, and shot blockers in the middle to take care of everything else.
Ive seen zones over the years, but nothing like that, Indiana coach Tom Crean said after his Hoosiers shot just 33 percent from the floor in Thursdays 61-50 loss to SU. You cant simulate it in practice, and we never really figured out how and where to attack it.
You, obviously, are looking for great players first, Mike Hopkins, Boeheims chief assistant, said. But you need to find players who suit your system. If you dont, youre making a mistake.
Although zone defenses have been around for decades, most coaches use them as a last resort. Like if the man-to-man isnt working.
If you are a man-to-man team and youre not executing well, you may try a zone for a few minutes but you really hope that the man improves, Boeheim said. In our case, we cant switch to something we havent practiced.
Boeheim has actually taught his zone principles to dozens of coaches throughout the years. Some of them grasp it, some dont, he said.
Boeheims legacy at SU and in college basketball is firmly established. He has won consistently over four decades, sent dozens of players to the NBA and kept the Orange on the national map year in and year out.
His tombstone will probably read: Great coach. Teacher. Family man.
There probably should be a clause saying, Master of the Zone.

Christeena HamiltonLas Vegas, NVTantowel Plus For African AmericansI am a fair skinned African American woman. I use the TanTowel on my legs and to even out my complexion across my shoulders and back when I am wearing strapless dresses or summer attire. I love them. The full body towellettes are large enough for me to use, ziploc and reuse a few days later when my skin starts to exfoliate and the tan starts to fade. And even the fading looks natural. This is the best thing Ive ever tried and who would have thought that a Black woman would need to tan!?!Now some days when my skin is really dry I do have to use one whole towel because my body sucks up all of the moisture but as long as I use a little bit of lotion on my palms before and keep that soapy towel on the counter to clean up on when Im done applying the towel, I am good to go. No orange or jaundice look AT ALL. This is wonderful. I highly recommend TanTowel to anyone who is concerned about skin cancer and wanting to take good care of their body. They even have smaller towels in case you just need a quick retouch or to cover your thighs for a cute lil mini!1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

WEST CARTHAGE Fort Drum will move its off-post behavioral health care facility for active-duty military personnel to the village after contracting out for a new clinic in the Franklin Place Medical Building.
The new space and contractor will spell the end of the behavioral health clinic operated by Samaritan Medical Center at Coleman Avenue, Watertown. The clinic had been open since June 2008, when it was created in advance of a deployment of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team.
Krista A. Kittle, a spokeswoman for Samaritan Medical Center, Watertown, said that since its opening the clinic had worked with 3,000 patients and completed about 40,000 appointments.
The regional medical command, looking to change its contract to require filing through the Armys emergency records system, had opened the entire contract for bidding.
The space will be operated by Spectrum Healthcare Resources, a division of TeamHealth, St. Louis, Mo., and will use space leased from Northern Developers LLC, according to a press release distributed Monday.
The new 3,335-square-foot office, which will be located in the former Family Practice Associates location, Franklin Avenue, is scheduled to open in the spring.
Though plans were for the bidding decision and implementation to be complete by Oct. 1, when its contract with Samaritan Medical Center ended, the contract was extended until March to allow the transition to be made to the West Carthage facility.
Ms. Kittle speculated the change of contractor boiled down to costs.
It was a privilege to serve soldiers, she said. Were very disappointed we werent selected moving forward.
She said the hospital had provided information about leasing the Coleman Avenue building to Spectrum Healthcare Resources to keep continuity, but was rebuffed. Ms. Kittle said the hospital will find a new purpose for that space without the clinic.
There probably will be another service that opens up that will be of use in that, she said. That building is beautiful.
Ms. Kittle said all 11 of the clinics employees had been offered jobs by Spectrum at the new location.
Calls and emails to the public affairs office of the posts Medical Command and to Spectrum Healthcare were not returned Monday.
Kent D. Burto, of Northern Developers LLC, said the Franklin Place Medical Building space had been out of use for about two years.
It should bring more people into the community, and hopefully it helps businesses around here, he said.
No information was available on how many patients the clinic could handle or how many people would be employed in the new space.
The post has been working to increase the number of outlets for soldiers to receive such care. As a part of its increased capacity, off-post facilities have been seen as a way for soldiers to receive different options for care and possibly receive more privacy.
In August, Col. Mark W. Thompson, commander of Fort Drums Army Medical Department Activity, said the post could handle about 70 percent of soldier behavioral health needs if demand remained steady. At that time, he said soldier demand had increased because of reduced stigma associated with seeking mental health care assistance.
Dr. Todd L. Benham, the posts behavioral health chief, estimated that about 4,500 soldiers came in to its clinics in 2011.

Managing subscriptions
If you choose to offer subscription-based digital goods in your application, you can use the Payment Service API to manage the subscriptions.
If you sell your application as a subscription on the BlackBerry App World storefront, the Payment Service confirms the validity of each user subscription. You can invoke purchase history methods to return objects that represent the parent application. These methods verify the user's current subscription status to determine whether the user should continue using the application.
Verifying application subscriptions
Browser.getDefaultSession().displayPage("http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/clientlaunch/<content ID>/");
Verifying digital good subscriptions
If you list digital goods as a subscription, you can verify the validity of a user's subscription by invoking PaymentEngine.checkExisting(), with the digital good's SKU as the parameter. This method returns a Boolean value that displays the validity of a user's subscription. If a user's subscription is not valid, you can prompt users to re-purchase the digital good by invoking PaymentEngine.Purchase().
Determining the status of a subscription
You can invoke Purchase.getItemState() to determine the status of a purchase. This method returns a constant that indicates the current status. These constants are included in the Purchase interface, and are described in the following table:
This constant indicates that the subscription is active. Users can use the digital goods.
This constant indicates that the subscription was canceled. Users can still use the digital goods until the next renewal date.
This constant indicates that the subscription was purchased, but subsequently refunded. Users cannot use the digital goods.
This constant indicates that the subscription was renewed and is currently active. Users can use the digital goods.
This constant indicates that the digital goods are not subscription-based, and that the user owns the digital goods.
In addition to the constants that are listed above, there are two additional methods in the PaymentEngine class that can help you determine the status of a subscription. You can invoke PaymentEngine.checkExisting() and provide an SKU as an argument. This method checks to see whether the user who is currently logged in using a BlackBerry ID is eligible to use the digital goods that are associated with the SKU that you provide. For example, if a subscription has a status of CANCELED, this method returns true until the next renewal date, because the user is eligible to use the digital goods until that date. After that date, this method returns false. If a subscription has a status of REFUNDED, this method returns false, because the user is not eligible to use the digital goods. After you invoke checkExisting(), you can invoke Purchase.get() with the same SKU to retrieve the Purchase object that corresponds to the SKU.
Subscription-based digital goods include both an initial time period and a renewal time period. For some digital goods, you might want to specify a custom initial time period that has a lower price (for example, if your digital goods include a trial period at a reduced cost). You can specify a custom initial time period when you register your digital goods on the vendor portal, and you can retrieve this time period by invoking Purchase.getInitialSubscriptionPeriod(). You can also invoke Purchase.getStartDate() to retrieve the date that a subscription starts, and you can invoke Purchase.getEndDate() to retrieve the date that a subscription expires.
Retrieving the price of a subscription
You can invoke PaymentEngine.getPrice() to retrieve the price of a subscription. You must provide an SKU as an argument to getPrice(), and this method returns a PriceSet object that contains the price of the purchase that the SKU corresponds to. After you retrieve the PriceSet object, you can invoke PriceSet.getPriceSetValue() and pass one of the following constants in the PriceSet interface to retrieve the corresponding information:
- PRICE: The constant price of digital goods that are not subscription-based.
- SUBSCRIPTION_INITIAL_PRICE: The initial price of subscription-based digital goods.
- SUBSCRIPTION_RENEWAL_PRICE: The renewal price of subscription-based digital goods.
- SUBSCRIPTION_PERIOD_NAME: The renewal time period of subscription-based digital goods (for example, "30 days").
- SUBSCRIPTION_INITIAL_PERIOD: The initial time period of subscription-based digital goods.
Canceling a subscription
You can invoke PurchaseEngine.cancel() to cancel an existing subscription. You must provide the transaction ID of the subscription-based digital goods as an argument to this method. After you cancel a subscription, the status of the subscription changes to CANCELED. However, the user who purchased the subscription is eligible to use the digital goods until the next renewal date. After that date, the user can no longer use the digital goods.

GOUVERNEUR State Supreme Court Judge David R. Demarest has ruled that E.J. Noble Hospital can use three restricted trust funds as collateral for credit to allow the financially struggling facility to obtain ongoing operating cash.
The hospital had asked the courts permission to use the trusts funds, which total more than $900,000, either as collateral for a line of credit or to have portions of the money provided directly to the hospital to help it meet financial commitments.
The hospital has been experiencing financial hardship for several years, culminating in a Sept. 28 decision by the state Department of Health to shut down its lab due to deficiencies. Although the state later allowed a partial reopening of the lab, the blood bank remains closed and the hospital cannot provide a number of services, such as most surgeries and a maternity ward.
The hospital is working out a management agreement with Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Potsdam, which still must be approved by the National Automatic Sprinkler Pension Fund, the guarantor of $11 million in bonds that financed the hospitals recent addition.
According to Judge Demarests decision entered Wednesday, the hospital has three endowment funds that were set up by donors to provide a regular stream of income. In order for the funds to be used for any purpose other than what the donor stated, three conditions must be met: the trust must be charitable in nature; the donor must have demonstrated a general, rather than a specific, charitable intent; and circumstances must have changed, rendering literal compliance with restrictions impossible.
The hospital did not argue that compliance with the restrictions was impossible, but rather that it has become impractical. The trusts are earning little in interest and, once corporate trustee fees are taken out of them, produce little, if no, revenue.
Despite questions from the state attorney generals office regarding the use of the funds, Judge Demarest determined that the hospital had demonstrated that dramatic changes over the years in the way health care is financed contributed to E.J. Nobles financial straits and that tapping its trust funds is necessary to the hospitals continuing operations.
Although it may very well have to reinvent itself to survive, the relief requested will assist it in remaining viable, Judge Demarest wrote.
He also concluded that the proposed use of the funds was consistent with the donors intent to benefit the citizens of their community by providing operating assistance to the hospital.
Based upon the information provided by the Hospital as to the devotion to the Hospital each of the donors expressed during their lifetimes, it is natural to assume that had they known how little benefit was being received under the original terms of the trusts, they would have approved of changes to insure their charitable intentions, the judge wrote.
Hospital board Chairman Timothy J. Monroe said Friday that the decision is still being reviewed to determine specific conditions under which the funds may be used.

She had a very successful history... I am sure she could tell us all some real stories over different things she has seen. I wish her well in her retirement... She looks like a person who very much enjoyed their job.
Good for her. Rare in this day and age where a person stays with one company that long.
Plus, she is a good looker. Thanks Carole, you are an inspiration !
I was hoping by submitting this, that those of us on FLightaware could honor her with
respect. Anyone who can show up with a smile and really care and serve people for so long deserves it. Just in case she came across this page, It would have been nice if some of you could have left your comments in your head, and not here. I've spent many years flying for work and pleasure, and women and men like Carole Disalvo are the ones that make flying so great. I guess I'm a bit jaded at this point, but when I was 4 years old I flew for the first time on Pam Am - LAX - i think Halifax - LHR flight
and I'll never forget how the Flight Attentandat treated my brother and I, from the cockpit tour, wings pinned on our shirts, and then she made a tent with a blanket over our chairs so we could sleep. I WAS IN LOVE :) It was 1966 so I'm sure it was a women about the same age and caliber as Carole Disalvo. So .. Hat's off to the great ones of us all who provide more than just (gettin by job performance) and go beyond our job description every day....
I agree! 1961 on Panagra to Talara, Peru (I was 8). These are wonderful people who have kept me and my family safe over a couple of million miles.
Wow! All I can say is congratulations on a long and enjoyable career.
I can just imagine some of the stories she must have, and I hope she puts pen to paper because I think it would make for some great reading.
Can't improve on the comments about her appearance other than to say she seems remarkably happy for all the time spent dealing with the general flying public. I offer you a 'tip of the hat' lady.
carole i applode you for your servise and i see you look good after all of these years
Congratulations, Carole!! I put in 40 before my retirement and as a lot of older folks say "It's not the years, it's the mileage"
Good Job Carole, Hope I look as good as you do at 75. Whats your secret? (Please dont tell me one mini a day from the aft galley :) !
Well done, I reckon you could have passed for a 40-50 yo so blo-dy well done.
What a fantastic lady and career, best article i have read in a long time, perhaps you could write a book about your exceptional career .Best wishes for a well deserved retirement.
She is so amazing!
Congrats to this lady. After all those years she is still a beauty!
She looks great!!! Congratulations for the great career!!!!
Along with the attractive looks she was most likely a terrific employee as well. I'd bet some of us have flown with her.
Great Story!! I wish there were more Flight Attendants like her!!
fantastic story wonderful girl...
Outstanding commitment and dedication.
I salute your perseverance throughout your
Long career.
I belong to FlightAware because I love every aspect of aviation, worldwide. Yes, we sometimes get some really sad or controversial news in this community of enthusiasts, but this is just an excellent "feel good" story. Clearly, this is a lady who devoted her entire working life to something she just loved to do. Thanks, Scott for ferreting out this marvellous tale, and thank YOU, Carole for your dedication, service and excellence.
Maybe it's the camera angle, but she looks great for 75.
I thought she looked great too. She looks more 55 then 75
75 is the new 55.
LOL, I was thinking the same thing... One thing is for certain... It was not a random shot. It was a well prepared and planned shot.
Name one Playboy pix that did not get Photoshopped, at any age. Or the SI swimsuit issue.

Did you scroll through all 4 of the photos? #4 might appear more as expected.
Even #4 photo she looks good. I guess I have a thing for older woman now that I'm going to be 50 this year...lol
To those giving this woman a hard time about her looks... please, by all means, post your pics when you're 75 for our assessment.
hip hip hooray!
It's such a pitiful shame that some people are so shallow as to be hung up on outward appearances rather than things that we have control over such as respect, courtesy, thoughtfulness, kindness, loyalty and hundreds of other assets. The Asians have it spot on by holding their elders in high esteem and admiration. Thanks for speaking up.
Well Done, Carole!
NO!She DID NOT start out at American as a Flight Attendant. She started out as a STEWARDESS! Attendant has such an awful conotation of a stable hand!
Indeed true but in this progressive and politically correct world in which we now live, it got changed to flight attendant when "male stewardesses" were hired.
A 75 year old flight attendant! And I get challenged as to my ability to be able to be seated in an emergency exit seat! And I drink Geritol too!
People age differently. Carole clearly has good genes! Lucky her.
Incredible flight attendant, always positive, a real joy to work with, great with passengers. You can have your twenty year-old bimbos, I'll take a F/A like Carole anytime...
Jesus christ, have some respect man... that 20 year old is just trying to make an honest living just like Carole was back when she was 20.
Carole, I am wondering out loud if Howard Hughes hired you or if you worked the Connie?
Way to go Carole! What amazing dedication to your craft and still looking really great. Is there a book in your future? I've no doubt you've got some stories to tell, some good, some not so good but on sum obviously a time well spent. Some enterprising young author might be calling on you, probably a host of them no doubt, to capture those experiences for all to read and be entertained. I was entertained reading your short anecdotal experiences in this article. I've no doubt the ole narrow body 707 was cozy in the back end as it was likewise in the "diesel 8." Well done Carole and all the best for the future.
Thank god the airlines have people like Carole still working in the industry. While all of you ignoramuses sit here and complain that you want young sexy women,people like Carole are the only ones that will take care of you in the air. All of you adult perverts try to feel young and if the only way for you to do that is sit on an airplane staring at attractive flight attendents then you really need to do something with yourself (Strip Club, Porn, what ever floats your boat). I hope that all of you benighted men can start respecting the women who are wathing out for you in the air, and not worrying so much about when you can try to hit on a young flight attendent who really think that you are nasty.
- Matt (I am 15 and I realize that having a young flight attendnt for old men to flirt with is not the most important thing)
Well done I wondered how many sticky moments this lady has had ?
Super congratulations for a exceptional person in the air.
Usually the Airline send you home at 65th.birthday
Great enjoy your retirement Carole Hope you write a book bet you have some stories to tell .
Weill done & enjoy your retirement Carole!
Great woman,incredible flight attendant.
Congratulations to Carole on a wonderful career! Can you even imagine the number of people she served with a smile during that time?!?
It must be quite a blow for AA to lose it's youngest flight attendant. :-)
You are the type of idiot she had to put up with. No class.
[This poster has been suspended.]
flight attendants should be paid 100k per year, single and smoking hot. not 60 year old gargoyles.
-2, that's the best you could do??? Yawn!!!
[This comment has been downvoted. Show anyway.]
60 year old gargoyles, I'm gonna have to bump you back up into the positive...
Age 32 retirement. I think that would be a good "throwback idea" worth instituting again. As a passenger, I almost get embarassed being served by someone that can be my grandmother.
Then take the bus.
Why is that a problem, they do make the best food, and treat us all better than our parents would. Maybe your family dosent love you, but i know from my personal experience that i enjoy interacting with my grandparents as they treat me very well.
Isn' t there any retirement in America? Or is it only the young or filthy rich that hang it up?
Obviously, one doesn't understand the concept of a job that a person enjoys doing and finds rewarding enough to work far beyond normal years. I applaud Mrs. DiSalvo.
Obviously, one does not understand the concept of retirement age for workers. Also note that commercial cockpit crews have a mandatory retirement age. Why not the cabin crew as well?
I hope you realize how senseless you sound. One is not going to be thrown off of a job that they are perfectly qualified, and able to complete. I do not think it is difficult to realize that not everyone in this country is able to retire at a young age. Mrs. DiSalvo was not going to drop her job at a certain age to go and begin a new career in her 40's. If this is what you expected her to do, then you should go back to school to learn about how seniority works (Yes I am calling you uneducated if you could not figure that out).
Please take you class warfare garbage to another site more appropriate for you entrenched anger issues.
In 1958 rules stated no one could work as a flight attendant past age 32. Good times..
sounds like you may have personal issues to deal with

The Ten Commandments: A Defunct Ancient Israelite Code
However, when taken in the context of ancient Israelite socity as record in the Hebrew Bible, of what real value are these ancient Israelite Codes many call the Decalog. Then too, it should be noted that in ancient Israelite society, the penalty for breaking any of the first nine codes was death!
(Since Exodus 20: 1 - 17 is repeated in Deut. 5 6 - 21 as part of the Deuteronomistic History (Deuteronomy - 2 Kings) I've used the popular section of the Sinai story in Exodus to adds some short comments on.
The first 40% are dealing strictly with Israelite religion and Israel's contract with their God.)
1 Then God spoke all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
3 You shall have no other gods before Me.
(This establishes an exclusive contract / Covenant with Israel only based on God's deliverance of Israel form Egypt. It does acknowledge other equally real Gods)
4 You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
(This further defines the bounds of Yahweh's contract with Israel and will be the bases for future the fall of Israel (722 BCE) and Judea (586 BCE).
7 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.
(An oath sworn to Yahweh must be carried out even if it meant the death of ones own daughter. See story of Jephthah and the sacrifice of his daughter. Judges 11)
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.
(This establishes the a rest day drawn for the creation myth and the anthromorphic nature an ancient Near Eastern Semitic god called Yahweh. This is the main Commandment Jesus is often found breaking in the Gospels and the religious section of this Decalog was the reason the religious Jews felt Jesus must died.)
12 Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
(A son or daughter's days were "prolonged" if one was not killed for a rebellious actions.)
The following are exclusive laws which apply only to Israelites who had the contract / Covenant with Yahweh. Israel's neighbors were viewed as in violation to the first 4 religious codes and were thus free to be killed. raped, lied to, and plundered for sexual needs and human sacrifice.
13 You shall not murder.
(Exodus 20: 13) תִּֿרְצָח׃ לֹא רְצָח (qal: kill, murder, strike down. A very limited verb used to protect only righteous Israelites. Out of this violent Hebrew society which employed 10 different word of killing often with their gods approval, slaughter and murder; ratsach is used only six times mainly to protect only Israelites.)
(Numbers 31: 17) הֲרֹגוּ׃ זָכָר לְמִשְׁכַּב אִישׁ יֹדַעַת וְכָל־אִשָּׁה בַּטָּף כָל־זָכָר הִרְגוּ וְעַתָּה
הִרְג is a word meaning roughly the same thing as רְצָח, but is used with Yahweh's approval in Holy War.
14 You shall not commit adultery.
(This Commandment is far from what adultery means today. In Israelite society a girl was property of her father until married and then property of her husband after marriage, adultery meant the use of another man's sexual possession to pleasure and children.
Plus, the fact that prostitutes, polygamy, concubines were protected sexual rights for all men under Yahweh's Commandments, males were always assured of sexual gratification and while women remain uneducated property.)
15 You shall not steal.
(Applies only to Israelite clan property be it women or animals. Since non-covenanted countries were not protected, the conquest of Canaan in Exodus, Numbers, and Joshua reveal how (even after these commandments were given) the children of Yahweh killed, raped, stole and plundered the land with God's orders and blessings.)
16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
("neighbor" רֵעֲ is only used for Israelites. The rise of King David revels how the most famous figure often abused his Hebrew neighbor.)
17 You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
(To ensure any legal violations were deterred, an Israelite was to protect his own life by not planning a violation which could mean his death.
Within this commandment, one can see how women were equated with slaves, donkeys and material goods of other male Israelite.)

Great for the price
By Metal Hip Rob
from York, PA
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Bought for personal use, to help maintain through the winter months, and help rehab after an injury. I was a little leery about a previous review that described plastic construction...not true...the unit is sturdy steel, but with a plastic non-structural overlay. Not difficult set-up. Holds my Tri bike fine. I skipped both the front wheel riser (I use a simple 2x4 instead) and sweat bikini (really?). Low noise claims are true - TV volume does not need to be as high as with treadmill. Only downside is the variability of the resistance...it seems the fluid viscosity in the 'Made in Italy' unit actually increases with heat, and it seems to occur in a consistent 2-step fashion. No worries, though, I just drop a gear, and I'm good...or pretend I just hit a hill and make my workout tougher. Not at all a problem for users who are a little flexible, especially frugal ones.

not bad for the price
By psmith
from SO CAL
So after opening the box I was on the fence about this trainer. In the pictures it looks like its metal and heavy IE well built. But after opening it I found out that its plastic. For some reason I must have missed that In the specs and in other reviews. So I was all about to return it thinking it was cheap. But I decided to put it together and see how it worked. At first I thought it was kind of weak and moved around too much. My old trainer is big and heavy and does not move at all when riding on it. this does have some flex when riding, but its really minimal. I have to say that after moving it around a few times the plastic body makes it easy to move and store. It only took about 10 minutes to put together and have it up and being used. I like the design and its very quiet compared to my old fluid trainer. It is also very versatile, I'm able to put my 29r MTB on it as well as my 700c road bike. I got this model because of the quick release features, and I'm not disappointed. They make it easy and fast to set up and use. over all I would give this trainer a 8 out of 10. But the real test will come in when I've used it a few years. so don't let the out of box plastic ness of it throw you off, it seems like it's a nice set up and this model is always on sale.
Gets the job done
By Nickolas233
from Fort Walton Beach, FL
This is my first trainer so I have nothing to compare it with. But here is my feedback after using it for about 14 workouts. I am using a 2007 Cannondale 700R roadbike by the way. I ride between 5k to 20k per session1) The set up was very easy2) I am happy with the fluid resistance. It works well and lets you get into a nice cadence no problem. You do nothing except hit your desired cadence and if you need to shift up a gear for more resistance you can. Very smooth feel3) One thing that is different then riding a real bike is that you cant really stand and hammer on this. At least I can't. It feels very awkward. So i had to switch to a seat with more padding when i'm using the trainer due to crotch numbness after about 7 miles. Since you cant ever really stand the blood flow gets cut off for me personally on a typical low profile road seat (i am wearing padded bike shorts btw). After I switched it over to my mtb seat that has a bit more padding and a different design I am not experiencing this anymore (yes it looks a bit weird, but it works lol). Just keep that in mind. Overall I am very happy with the product. It is made in Italy and seems really well made and durable. It is very competitively priced compared to some of the other fluid trainers out there. Maybe those have a better feel, or more expensive parts for an experienced rider, but I just like to keep in shape and this fits the bill perfect. By the time I am done with a ride I am sweating buckets.
Great Buy, Wont be disapointed
By Phil the cyclist
from Pittsburgh PA
This is a great fluid trainer and I've been on a kurt kinetic before for long indoor rides. This feels/performes no different. I ride 30 min to 1.5 hours almost every morning going on a month now with this trainer and have had to issues yet. Very stable when sprinting too. Great buy. Very satisfied!
Great choice!

Worth spending more money
By Jim
from Milwaukee, WI
I purchased this trainer a few months ago and use it 3-4 times per week. When starting each ride, the trainer takes approx. 5 minutes to warm up; before it's warm, there is barely any resistence, then the resistence randomly kickes in. It works relatively well once warm, but I would suggest spending more money on a better trainer.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Now I have no excuse
By JR
from Murphy, TX
I use it with the Sufferfest videos to stay in shape when it's too cold to ride. It's not too loud with my road tires and it kicks my butt three to five times a week. Can't ask for anything more.

Fluid vs Magnetic
By Trapped indoors
from Washington, PA
I have two magnetic trainers, one with watts etc. and rollers. I wondered how the fluid trainer would be. I wanted a different "feel." At the same speed with the same cadence, the resistance varies much as encountering a small rise on the road. I cannot figure out why, but it adds an interesting challenge. I would not recommend it if you are obsessive about so many minutes at a particular level of resistance and keep records for that -- it seems too inconsistent. But, It does give a good work out. In general it is what I was looking for: a different feel and a good workout. I also got it on sale, which helped.
Great value.
By BB in YOH
from Youngstown, OH
I am a beginner rider, married to an avid cyclist who has been trying to get me on a road bike for years. I agreed to start by spending time this winter on a trainer - he has a high-end Cycle Ops trainer which I wasn't willing to spend the money on as a 'try it' venture.So as a novice, here are my obersvations:- this trainer is loud compared to a higher-end trainer- it is a good build quality- it does fold and store easily, although I have room to leave mine set-up, so I don't do this regularly.Overall, it is a good value for someone looking for a budget-priced bike trainer.
