Skip to comments.Evangelicals to launch 'Christian AIPAC'
Posted on 02/03/2006 5:02:32 PM PST by abu afak
A leading US evangelist is forming an umbrella organization under which all pro-Israel Christians in America can speak as one in support of the Jewish state.
Pastor John C. Hagee of San Antonio, Texas, is to launch Christians United for Israel (CUFI) at an invitation-only "Summit on Israel" next Tuesday at his Cornerstone Church.
The Texas-size church seats 5,000 worshipers and has some 17,000 members, but the summit will host a much smaller congregation: the spiritual leaders of an estimated 30 million US Christians.
"Think of CUFI as a Christian version of AIPAC [the American Israel Public Affairs Committee]," Hagee told The Jerusalem Post. "We need to be able to respond instantly to Washington with our concerns about Israel. We must join forces to speak as one group and move as one body to [respond to] the crisis Israel will be facing in the near future."
Hagee declined to specify which crisis, noting that Israel faces one "every day the sun comes up." But at the top of the CUFI agenda is what the pastor calls "the Bible issue," namely what he considers to be the mistaken policy of trading parts of the biblical Land of Israel for peace, an agenda that AIPAC, for example, neglects.
Accordingly, Hagee says, CUFI intends to "interact with the government in Washington" and persuade it "to stop pressuring Israel to give up land for peace. Besides the fact that this does not work, Israel has a Bible mandate for the land. Now that Gaza has been given to Hamas, it has a military foothold a thousand yards from Jerusalem." ..."

Accordingly, Hagee says, CUFI intends to "interact with the government in Washington" and persuade it "to stop pressuring Israel to give up land for peace. Besides the fact that this does not work, Israel has a Bible mandate for the land. Now that Gaza has been given to Hamas, it has a military foothold a thousand yards from Jerusalem." ..."
And maybe the reason AIPAC "neglects" this is because it is actually listening to the Israeli people, who are sick and tired of religious nuts from Brooklyn or Mississippi trying to "help" them by pressuring them into ultra militant policies that they no longer want. The Israeli people have made the reasoned ("reasoned", Hagee. "reasoned") decision that they cannot get mired down in trying to rule 2 million Palestinians forever. Which is essentially what Hagee is demanding that Israel do and the Israelis are sick and tired of trying to do.
Washington isn't "pressuring" Israel into consolidating its lines behind a defensible perimiter. The Israelis understand perfectly well for themselves that the position in Gaza was untenable, costly, and indefensible and they will no longer be blackmailed by religious nuts.
Love Hagee! Count me in! His new book "Jerusalem Countdown" is FABULOUS! I highly recommend it.
I would love to see a new political party with James Dobson running for President and Hagee as Vice.
I watched it! Awesome!

Hagee is from TX. Where does Mississippi fit into
this equation of yours?
Baptist ping sorta
I wonder if this had anything to do with it
The use of 'Mississippi' was rhetorical.
All right. 'Religious nuts from Texas', then.
Mississipi gets enough negative press
without people making things up.
With all my heart and soul I apologize heartily to any Mississippians (whose state I have always spelled correctly) whose feelings I may have inadvertently offended.
and Wooly Bully to you too. :>)
Your name says it all.
Why thank you kind person.
That is about the nicest thing anyone ever
said to me...............I think??
Now If I just knew what you are talking
about I could really get excited.
This is an issue where the tenuous alliance between Christian evangelicals and Israelis will unravel. And this will throttle Republican progress among Jewish voters. Evangelicals have no more right to demand that Jews die for their principles than Muslims have to control what cartoonists around the world draw.
The Israeli people have decided that they will not allow religious fanatics of the Christian or Jewish variety to impose policies upon them that they do not want. They have decided that they will not allow others to 'create facts'
AIPAC isn't an Israeli organization, it's an American organization, obviously dealing with US-Israeli relations.
Why does everyone always have to cut on Mississippi?
Ok. This Mississipian accepts your apology.
Hagee is correct though, he doesn't have to listen to the Israeli people, he only has to read the Bible...something you should expect from a Christian.
I am a Christian and I do not buy the argument that being one means being an Israeli ultra-hawk. God told King Zedekiah through the prophet Jeremiah to submit to Nebuchadnezzar and not try to revolt. Jews loyally served Babylonian and Persian monarchs and were rewarded for their loyalty. For centuries an alien people, the Samaritans, dwelt in the land of Israel and nowhere is God shown as hostile to them. Did not our Savior befriend a Samaritan slut and use them as an example of divine grace (the good Samaritan)? I see nothing in scripture to state that being a Christian means being more Zionist than the Israelis themselves choose to be.
When Hagee blames Kadima policies on "American pressure" he flat out lies. The Israeli people have given up trying to rule the Palestinians, which is what Hagee is demanding they do. Evangelicals like to insist that they are Israel's friends. Some friends.
I know that AIPAC is an American organization, but it is Jews talking and listening to other Jews. Not Evangelicals trying to expend Jews in militarily indefensible positions because they think it will expedite the Second Coming. And thinking they are Israel's friend.
Why does everyone always have to cut on Mississippi?
Cause we make it so easy?? :>)
Consider this: The way things were going, the Palestinans were on their way to a voting majority in Israel, and conceivably poised to take over the Kennesset.
Sharron gave them the Gaza as their autonomous 'homeland' to remove them from the Israel voting rolls. Also talk about doing the same in part of the West Bank..... Comments?
Name the nation that God placed over Israel in the last 50 years.
My point stands.
You may do the honors if you like. My pc is spazzing again.
Name the nation that God placed over Latvia in the past 10 years.
My point stands. Whatever the hell it was.
Great tagline tonite, WKB.
"The use of 'Mississippi' was rhetorical."
Rhetoric this...
I am sick and tired of people like you.
You ARE a SHAM.
And, this isn't the first time I've said that to you.
One thing about you...you don't disappoint.
They also made Mt. Gerizim near Schechem the center of their religion as opposed to Mr. Moriah in Jerusalem. http://www.the-samaritans.com/
"Cause we make it so easy?? :>)"
Cause others make it so hard.
Are you on the MS ping list, kmomma?
If not, then WKB and bourbon are the guys to see.
In the Bible, it says that the Samaritans are descended primarily from colonists whom the Assyrians transported into Israel after they destroyed Samaria. As with the Babylonians later the Assyrians did not deport every Jew from the land. Just the young, strong, useful, skilled, educated, and presumably hot. The lowest classes were left behind. These presumably mixed with the exiles the Assyrians transported in.
But as we see in the New Testament the Judeans considered them asterisk Jews.
It seems to me that like the Muslims, you are choosing to be offended.
See post #10 :>)
Show me where Latvia was ever promised to be a nation by God.
Your point fails on every aspect.
You employ the circular reasoning of the religious nut.
Tell me, if God is an ultra Zionist now, where was He during the Holocaust ? Where was He when Ferdinand and Isabella expelled the Jews ? Where was He when Masada fell and the Bar Kochba revolt crushed ? God's promises to the Jews have been transferred in toto to the Christian Church. The Christian Church is the descendants as countless as the stars of the sky that God promised to Abraham.
You employ the reasoning of the unbeliever who tries to shame others into atheism
God was with every believing Jew in the Holocaust. God was with Hitler telling him how wrong he was and to repent. God was with Stalin telling him what a sin he was doing to the people of Russia.
God is with you right now, trying to get you to listen, too.
I am listening to God. Guess what ? He's not a Gush Emmunin fanatic.
If you are at all capable of reason, you might consider the disastrous effect this is having on Jewish Christian relations. Jews will resent being asked to die for fundamentalist Christian reasons. People like you are music to Abe Foxman's ears because you are only interested in expending Jewish blood for your own purposes. And Jews don't come into this with a whole lot of trust for Christian motives to begin with. This may come as a shock to you but the Jews don't want your Armageddon.
The Israeli people have decided otherwise.
The Arabs aren't going to leave. Period. So your entire reverie about 'paying the Arabs to leave' was the purest wishful thinking. Facts are facts and the Israelis are not going to mass deport Arabs from Gaza and the West Bank. Period.
So returning from Yehuda and RaceBannon land to the real world, Israel understands that it can either
a. Try to rule the Palestinians forever and give RaceBannon his Armageddon. or...
b. Consolidate behind secure, ethnically cohesive lines.
What we have here is an alliance between the Israeli settler lunatic fringe and fundamentalist Christian religious nuts. An alliance that will be disastrous for both because the Israeli mainstream has decided that it will not allow them to write checks that Israel has to cash.
Ugh. You again.
Last time I heard from you on this forum you were waxing poetic about Malcolm X. Let me guess: You sympathize with other Muslim miltants too?
To: Sam the Sham----------------------------------------
Well, you might not be willing to call MLK a "weenie," but your continued references to him as a "pink plaster saint" aren't much different.
And it was the intervention of the federal government that made his [MLK's] strategy correct. Without it a NOI/Malcolm X strategy would have been the correct one.
I'm not surprised that you take a consequentialist, almost military view of the civil rights movement. Perhaps your your warlike approach to domestic social conflicts is the reason you shower praise on groups like like the NOI and IRA, who also preach a violent form of nationalism?
King, however, took a very different view of the civil rights movement. He pursued nonviolence and eschewed reverse racism not because of the favorable outcomes associated with his strategy but because he believed it was the morally correct thing to do. And, yes, he thought it was the correct thing to do, even if it proved to be a losing strategy.
If that makes him a weenie in your eyes, so be it. I wish you'd just come out and admit it.
BTW, I'm curious to know how you feel about Yasser Arafat? Is he one of your personal heroes too?

Frankly, most of what you said was too stupid to respond to.
The facts are the facts. The Israeli people have decided that they will not let religious nuts decide their agenda. Whether you like that or not is of no importance. What is of importance is that all the tenuous work the GOP has done to reach out to Jewish voters will be destroyed if the Christian Right aligns itself with the Israeli lunatic fringe.
And while we are on the subject I have no use for romantic failure. The correct strategy is one that is grounded in objective reality like that of Ohmert. And given the military backing of the federal government, King's strategy. Romantic failure, like the fringe nut settlers, is for adolescents.

The Pentagon's fleet of ships, aircraft and other military resources to help the tsunami relief effort is costing about $6 million a day.
That covers a U.S. contingent of about 13,000 military personnel, most of them aboard 17 Navy ships in the region. It's possibly the largest humanitarian aid contribution in history.
The latest ship to join the effort is a hospital ship that set sail last night from San Diego. It's staffed to support 250 patient beds but could be expanded to a thousand.
The biggest share of the cost is for the USS "Abraham Lincoln" battle group, the first Navy group to arrive on the scene last week.

Inquest into death of GAA official abducted and killed by Loyalists in 1997 moves a step closer
Published 30/01/2013 | 13:51
A LAWYER for relatives of a GAA official abducted and murdered by loyalists has welcomed a police undertaking to pass case files to the Northern Ireland coroner's office.
The development is significant in the long-delayed bid by the family of Sean Brown to have an inquest held, their solicitor Kevin Winters told a preliminary hearing in Belfast.
But the inquest may still not proceed until 2014 after it emerged that a fresh investigation by the Historical Enquiries Team (HET) could take until the end of the year to be completed.
Mr Brown, 61, was abducted by loyalists as he locked up his local GAA club at Bellaghy, Derry, in May 1997.
The married father-of-six, who was chairman of the club, was shot multiple times in the head and his body was dumped around 10 miles away near Randalstown.
At today's hearing, which was attended by Mr Brown's son Damien, Northern Ireland's senior coroner John Leckey described the killing as "one of the most despicable murders" that had occurred in the region.
Mr Leckey's representatives are required to examine 40 boxes of police files on the case ahead of any inquest - an exercise which would deal with issues of disclosure and redaction.
A lawyer for the PSNI informed the court the files would be available for reading within days.
Mr Winters welcomed the move.
"The family is concerned about the passing of time," he said.
"If the papers are transferred this week that's a significant matter.
"And on that basis we would be reasonably satisfied on the basis of time scale."
But Mr Winters stressed that the family did not want the inquest to proceed until the HET's investigation and report were complete.
Earlier, solicitor for the coroner's office Fiona Doherty told Mr Leckey that originally it had been understood that the HET report was due at the end of 2012.
But she said that information had been incorrect.
"It appears there is a considerable amount of work to be done by the HET," she said.
"It may be the end of the year before that work is progressed."
Ken Boyd, representing the PSNI, apologised for the error and explained there had been confusion in communication between the police's legacy support unit and the HET.
Richard Ferguson, also on behalf of the police, said the HET report was due at the end of 2013, not 2012.
Mr Leckey acknowledged that the HET report may highlight issues that would need to be examined at the inquest.
"Families do not want inquests to be heard until HET reports (are complete)," he said.
"I have been willing to hold inquests but that's what's been put to me."

The hunting ban has its roots in the state's "blue laws," which date back to the late 17th century outlawing certain activities on Sundays. A new bill sponsored by Senator Jim Brewster (D-Allegheny, Westmoreland) would allow hunters to take part in their sport any day of the week, including Sunday. PA Governor Wants Advice From Hunters, Anglers By Kevin Gavin • Nov 30, 2015 Sarah Kovash / 90.5 WESA An estimated 750,000 hunters are expected to head into the woods Monday for the first day of antlered deer hunting season with firearms, according to the Pennsylvania Game Commission, and the administration is looking for advice from some of them. Gov. Tom Wolf signed an executive order formally establishing the Governor's Advisory Council for Hunting, Fishing and Conservation. PA Budget Stalemate Won't Disrupt Hunting Season By Mary Wilson • Nov 30, 2015 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Let the record show that Rep. Stephen Bloom (R-Cumberland) thinks lawmakers should be in on Monday, but he knows he'd probably be overruled. "In Pennsylvania, it's a big deal to have a session day on a hunting season day – first day of buck season," Bloom said Tuesday as his colleagues filed past him on their way back from the House floor. The state budget is nearly a full five months late, and state lawmakers say they'll return after Thanksgiving to work until they have a deal – but they won't be back bright and early Monday morning. Threat of Chronic Wasting Disease Plagues Deer Hunting Season By Julian Routh • Nov 27, 2014 As deer season approaches, hunters in Blair and Bedford counties will have to follow Pennsylvania Game Commission regulations intended to halt the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease. There are currently three Disease Management Areas (DMAs) in Pennsylvania, two of which are on deer farms in Adams and Jefferson counties. The other, in Blair and Bedford counties, is the biggest concern for the commission because it is in the free-ranging population, said Jeannine Fleegle, wildlife biologist with the Pennsylvania Game Commission. As Deer Season Approaches, Hunters Urged to Donate Some of Their Haul By Mary Wilson • Nov 27, 2013 With deer season just days away, hunters are being urged to donate some portion of what they haul in to food banks. The group Hunters Sharing the Harvest reimburses 92 participating deer butchers around the state for taking donated venison and processing the meat for distribution. Lorri Diller, co-owner of Diller's Deer Processing in Cumberland County, said hunters don't have to donate a whole deer. Bow Hunting To Be Allowed On Airport Land By Deanna Garcia • Sep 3, 2013 Get your inner Katniss Everdeen ready. The Allegheny County Airport Authority is opening up land for archery-only hunting in the coming months. The pilot program will allow bow hunting in designated zones, but it will be limited to a certain number of hunters. "There will be an online lottery in mid-to-late September," said state Sen. Matt Smith. "People can go to the airport authority website right now, put their name in for the lottery and there will be 157 individuals selected." Partnership Educates on Impact of Hunting on Economy By Jessica Nath • Jun 24, 2013 A new partnership of organizations is aiming to teach Pennsylvanians about the impact hunting has on the state's economy. A diverse group that ranges from chambers of commerce leaders to small business owners has formed a partnership called Hunting Works for Pennsylvania. This partnership was created to advocate for public policy that supports jobs and economic prosperity. Slight Uptick to PA Deer Harvest Last Hunting Season By Noah Brode • Mar 25, 2013 Hunters killed roughly 343,110 deer in Pennsylvania during the 2012-2013 season, according to the state's Game Commission, a yearly increase of about 2 percent. That includes roughly 133,860 antlered deer and 209,250 antlerless deer, both increases over the previous season. Joe Neville, director of information and education for the Game Commission, said the numbers are on track with his agency's annual goal of harvesting about one-third of the state's population of roughly one million deer.

THETELLY relies on hardware and software from a third party, Sling Media. We also rely on channel line-ups in the UK over which we have no control.
We do not update software; Sling Media and Humax (a recorder vendor) do.
Why is it a scam to charge for technical support? Companies everywhere do it, especially to keep costs low when support is not required.
Our web site contains comprehensive information about every aspect of our service. Technical support should rarely be necessary. Indeed, that department resembles a Maytag commercial.
Everyone using our service and every person the UK changed over to Digital this year. Hardly our fault?
Alternative to the SlingPlayer software? Like what? We do offer a different brand but that would have no difference with Digital Switchover.
Sling Media software (as of today) still make desktop software available in addition to apps, and their own web site viewing capabilities. Another inaccuracy.
System changes (both within our scope and outside) have occurred at most twice in our five year history. Clients are not required to pay for them.
We have successfully serviced several thousand customers and continue to do so.
While we regret that this one customer is clearly disappointed, but based on the mis-information we find it difficult to believe it to be credible.
If "Ken" in Hollywood would like to identify himself as well as his relative, call our office, we would be more than happy to set the record straight and get to the bottom of this complaint and perhaps make them happy?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

As Congress threatened to convene a hearing on how CPB distributes its money, a public TV review panel released a proposal last month to change the formula that allocates grants to stations.
The fixes ought to please North Carolina's UNC-TV, which had complained to hometown members of Congress — who pressed for the hearing — that several state networks like itself pay more in PBS dues than they receive in Community Service Grants (CSGs). The proposal would aid state nets by establishing a credit for licensees that operate three or more transmitters.
If the recommendation is adopted by the CPB Board, UNC-TV would see an 80 percent increase — about $320,000 — in its base grant in fiscal year 2003, according to CPB. The changes would also reduce the gap between the dues that UNC-TV pays to PBS and the grants it gets from CPB.
Public TV lobbyists hope the new rules will also disperse congressional interest in the parochial details of public TV's grants and fees structure.
Andy Russell, CPB's senior v.p. of media, acknowledged that the panel finished its work two months earlier than predicted. "We were trying to be mindful" of what was happening on Hill, he says.
Though it appears UNC-TV may have hurried the process, the CSG review panel denies that pressure from the Hill had anything to do with the suggested policy change itself. The panel makes its recommendations independent of political firestorms, says David Clark, CPB's director of television operations.
The funding controversy threatened to derail public TV's attempts to secure funding in Congress this fall and reminded pubcasters what can happen when they take internal squabbles to Capitol Hill.
Federal appropriations to CPB are distributed according to a formula laid out by Congress. But station leaders and CPB work out the policies by which CSGs are distributed among public TV licensees.
Each public TV station's CSG includes a base grant — a flat sum of about $400,000 that goes to every station — and a variable incentive grant based on the amount of nonfederal financial support the stations raise themselves.
The North Carolina controversy has been all the more difficult to resolve because it brought together complaints about PBS dues and CPB grants — each governed by a separate formula under separate control and with no official connection. But the two formulas had grown up together and were based in part on some of the same major factors — essentially, the financial ability of the stations. Over the past decade, the two formulas had grown apart.
In that time, some licensees saw their PBS dues rise while their CSGs fell. UNC-TV was particularly aggrieved, according to station execs. Since 1990, the state network paid $5.5 million more in PBS dues than it received in CSGs, according to Gail Zimmerman, UNC-TV's assistant g.m. The disparity in 2001 was $773,000.
The discrepancy originated when PBS changed its dues structure in the early 90s. And the gap grew some more with CPB's 1996 rule changes that eliminated the practice of distributing multiple base grants to licensees that operate more than one transmitter.
"No one should have a disparity," Zimmerman says. "There's a problem, and it has to be solved." UNC-TV tried for years to get the formula changed, she says, but its pleas went unheeded. Frustrated with the lack of response from CPB and PBS, UNC-TV contacted its Washington legislators for help.
Reps. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and David Price (D-N.C.) answered the call and brought the issue to House Commerce Committee Chairman Billy Tauzin (R-La.), who oversees authorization of public broadcasting funding. When the committee signed off on $20 million in digital money this summer, it asked CPB to report back on the funding disparity. Shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks, CPB sent the demanded explanation to Tauzin.
CPB's letter fell way short in addressing the needs of the disadvantaged stations, Rep. Burr says. "It even said there wasn't a problem," he recalls. CPB, Tauzin and Burr declined to release a copy of the letter.
Burr urged Tauzin to hold public hearings and begin a "long and in-depth process" to examine the funding levels. "These are federal funds," he says. "We have an obligation to make sure they're used in the most effective way and that all stations are treated fairly."
At the same time, the annual CPB funding process was grinding away. A House subcommittee proposed appropriating $365 million for CPB, which would make fiscal year 2004 the first no-growth year for the corporation since 1999. John Lawson, president of APTS, says the CSG issue was a major factor in keeping the appropriation flat.
Seemingly unmoved by the flap in the House, a Senate subcommittee proposed funding CPB at $395 million, the full amount sought by public TV lobbyists. The House and Senate bills will be reconciled in Congress, and APTS is uncertain how the CSG issue will affect the process.
The FCC ruling in mid-October allowing public TV stations to use excess digital spectrum to generate commercial revenue made matters worse. Confusion over the scope of the decision led to exaggerated press accounts of Big Bird doing on-air commercials. Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) proposed taking $12 million away from CPB's 2004 allocation because of stations' new moneymaking powers. The Stearns' amendment was defeated 107-312.
All of this led Tauzin's committee to propose an Oct. 31 hearing to examine how CPB distributes its funds and what the FCC ruling would do, according to a House spokesman. Last week, just days after the CSG review panel released its recommendations, the hearing was postponed indefinitely.
According to CPB, the TV panel had been crafting its proposal for ten months as part of a periodic review of the grants formula, and the North Carolina complaint was already under consideration.
The suggested transmitter credit tweaks the formula by adding 5 percent of a licensee's base grant if it has three transmitters, 7.5 percent if four, 10 percent if five, 20 percent if six, and so on, up to a total of 80 percent of a base grant. Those with lots of low-power translators could count 10 of them as one transmitter.
For the roughly 35 licensees that pay more in PBS dues than they receive from CSGs, all but a handful should see that gap disappear, Clark says. In total, the transmitter credit would restore about $3.8 million to the base grants of affected licensees.
Because the CPB appropriation is set to leap by $15 million from fiscal year 2002 to 2003, the year the credit kicks in, only a few licensees will see a sum loss in their grants when the CSG pie is resliced. CPB puts the number at less than 10. Russell says the amended formula "makes good policy sense."
Although many pubcasters are pleased to see UNC-TV's funding woes mitigated, many also objected to the way Congress was brought into a system issue.
"Going beyond CPB and PBS has been a real complication," says Maine PTV's Rob Gardiner. "Most managers are really mad at stations that go up on the Hill with independent agendas. It's been done in the past, and every time it's been a disaster."
South Carolina ETV President Moss Bresnahan agrees that the CSG needs to be adjusted to reflect the challenges of multitransmitter licensees, but he advises against taking internal problems to the Hill. "I understand the frustrations of some people," he says, "but there's no problem we can't solve ourselves."
But UNC-TV found no redress for its grievances within public broadcasting, according to Steve Volstad, a UNC-TV spokesman. "The issue had been discussed at great length for a number of years in the system," Volstad says. "We felt it was appropriate to let our legislators know."
Volstad says UNC-TV wouldn't have gone to the Hill if it didn't think the issue was of "significant concern to the entire system and Congress."
Meanwhile, the PBS Finance Committee is reviewing its dues structures and plans to announce its proposed changes after the CSG panel finishes its work. After seeking comment on its recommendations, the 2001 CSG review panel plans to draft a final report at its meeting in San Francisco late this month. The proposal will then go the CPB board for approval.

We had a wonderful stay at this B&B. Jeannie and Shawn do a great job extending their hospitality and making guests feel at home. We really enjoyed our stay in the Elk Creek room and the breakfasts. We'll return for future stays. Highly recommend.
Just got home from our annual ladies trip. What could be more perfect for a a group of gals than great shopping in Erie and Grove City then settling in at a charming Bed & Breakfast for some pampering, relaxation and delicious eats. We have visited many B&B's over the years, and usually are disappointed after a return visit. This was not the case with Four Creeks. After at least our 5th stay, we remain very satisfied with everything from the lovely, comfortable rooms, the perfect English breakfast and excellent hospitality from Shawn & Jeannie. We always look forward to our welcome from Muffin, but what a delight to get to meet the newest addition Truffle! Whenever we leave, we always ask ourselves....Why would you ever go to a hotel? Looking forward to our next visit.
We last stayed at Four Creeks in 2014. I was happy to return. We spent the day at Presque Isle (It's an easy drive) checked in to shower and rest before heading to dinner. Jeannie and Shawn (and Muffin and Truffle) are terrific hosts. And the English breakfast--delish! We'll return!
Despite our late arrival, our hosts were lovely and kind and had adorable dogs. The bathroom sparkled and the fireplace heated the room just enough. The breakfast special French toast was very tempting, but chose the English breakfast instead. If we ever return to the Erie area, we would not hesitate to come here again and try the other delicious food!
Enjoyed the homecoming parade!!
My husband and I recently stayed at Four Creeks while on the way to New York and this was a great stop to spend the night in a comfortable bed with an excellent breakfast to enjoy before on our way. Jeannie and Shawn are so nice and genuinely enjoy hosting people in their B&B. I highly recommend making this location part of your time away.
Very nice home and owners. Room was comfortable and had all amenities needed - hairdryer, tea kettle, snacks, water, fridge. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful. Hope to come back soon.
only stayed over night rode motorcycle 6 hours to get to b&b enjoyed it very much it was just how i pictured it would be small town nice homey feel if ever get to erie again would stay at four creeks shawn & jeannie were perfect host
We enjoyed our two night stay at Four Creeks: large room, very clean, quiet to sleep, breakfast prepared at time requested, friendly hosts, parking off street behind house. It was easy to get to the events we were attending in Erie ( high school reunion.)
Shawn and Jeannie are great! They have nice accommodations and the food is superb. If you're traveling through the area, there is no better place to stay.
We enjoyed our stay. It's about 20 minutes from Erie proper and an easy drive. The room was pleasant and clean. The breakfast was outstanding. Nice, British flair. I would stay there again.
After a busy day at the Wine & Walleye Festival it was so relaxing to come back to. Very quiet. Bed was nice a cozy and clean (no spiders in sight). Next morning the English breakfast was wonderful. Shawn and Jeannie are very hospitable and very accommodating. I'm looking forward to returning. Thank you!
We can't say enough about how great our stay was at Four Creeks. The home was so charming and welcoming. Our room was so pretty and so clean! Our room overlooked the back garden and we could enjoy the sound of the trickling water in the pond. The breakfasts were yummy, and we enjoyed the conversations with the other guests as well as with Jeannie, our host. She is an absolute delight. She is so gracious, she takes care of your every need. Our only regret is that we were so busy all day at Lake Erie, we didn't get to spend more time enjoying our room and its coziness! We would recommend this B&B to anyone, and we hope to visit again! Thanks Jeannie! Kim and John
Very warm and inviting environment. We loved it.
It's location is quite convenient to Erie, without being in a busy town. It's minutes to the Interstate, yet the countryside is right around the corner. The nearby church bell does ring through the night, but is not an issue even for a light sleeper like myself. The breakfast is fantastic, and the facilities are charming! It really feels like a traditional British bed and breakfast.
Nicely set up, very friendly hosts. The room was wonderful. Thank you!
We have been staying at B &B's for about 20 years. Four Creeks is one of the best! The room was very beautiful and comfortable. The service was superior. We were very pleased with the warm welcome and the friendliness of the inn keeper, Jeannie. Celebrating our anniversary at the four Creeks Bed and Breakfast was absolutely wonderful. Thanks! Jack and Dana
I grew up in Girard and returned to attend a reunion. I was pleasantly surprised to find Four Creeks B&B for my weekend stay. Comfortable and beautifully furnished, it is a great place to relax and enjoy yourself. The owners are wonderful hosts and the service as well as the breakfasts were excellent. I will definitely return to Four Creeks whenever I am visiting in Girard.
My husband and I were visiting Presque Isle and we stayed at Four Creeks. We had a wonderful time. We had a beautiful room, and everything was very, very clean. We met Shawn when we checked in the night before, and he showed us around the place. He was very easy to talk to and very welcoming. We met Jeannie in the morning while she served us breakfast. The breakfast was phenomenal! There was plenty to eat and many options to drink. We couldn't have been more comfortable there. This was our first stay at a Bed and Breakfast, and I was worried that we wouldn't have much privacy. But there were two other couples there that night and we didn't see or hear them. There was plenty of space here and we felt like we had a lot of privacy. We loved Presque Isle, and I'm sure we will visit Four Creeks again! We highly recommend it. -- Ciara & Brian
My wife and I were attending a wedding in Erie in high season and found Four Creeks charming and the hosts gracious and helpful. We stayed for two nights on what we would have paid for one night in the hotel we initially booked. Jeannie keeps the house polished and neat, and Shawn is an excellent cook. Our salmon and scrambled eggs were perfect. We were also pleased to learn that the B&B gives discounts to returning customers or mid-week guests. We'll book it again when we're in Erie.
Although the Four Creaks Bed and Breakfast in Girard, PA may appear to be a simple farm house style architecture on the outside, the inside is warm, clean, and restfully welcoming, Only two blocks from the picturesque downtown of Girard borough, fishing, wine tours, orchards, campgrounds, shopping, Presque Isle State Park with its sandy beaches, and the city of Erie are all within a 20 minute drive. The innkeepers Jeanie and Shawn provide superior hospitality with a British flair. Muffin the Pekinese dog (although not an English muffin) supplies both security and entertainment. Although they no longer provide the optional suppers, the English style breakfast is a treat with a selection of authentic British teas, a choice of a continental breakfast with juices, pastries, cereals, yogurt, fruit, and homemade granola, or a hot English breakfast with bacon, sausages, grilled tomatoes, home fries, eggs made to order, sausages, and bacon. There is frequently a "chef's choice" menu item that provides a pleasant morning change-up. There are four bedrooms to choose from, each with individual ensuites that include toiletries and a hair dryer. Every bedroom provides satellite television, ceiling fans, teapots, air conditioners, and compact refrigerators. The main floor houses a dining room with individual tables set with linen cloths and fine china, a parlor with a fireplace and piano, and a family room with sofas, HD TV, and entertainment system, all available for guest use. Guests are provided individual keys to both room and house and may come and go at will. Jeanie also runs a small craft and scrapping business in the front portion of the house, teaching both community members and tourists her finer arts skills. Both Jeanie and Shawn are wonderful hosts that go the extra steps to attend to your individual needs and make your stay memorable. We will definitely attempt to book a stay with Jeannie and Shawn on our next visit to the Erie area.
We stayed at Four Creeks for our Anniversary. This was our first time staying at a bed and breakfast place. Shawn and Jeannie were very welcoming and friendly. We stayed in Elk creek room and it was nice. There was champagne and chocolates in the room for us, wich were wonderful. Breakfast was very good too. Shawn is a great cook. I would recommend this place to everyone. We will look forward to future visits there.
It is my first time in Pennsylvania and I arrived during what I call a blizzard. Yes, I'm from the South and it seems like a blizzard to me. I happened upon this quaint Bed and Breakfast through a kind local flower shop owner who pointed the way. Grand people and excellence in all they do are apparent. I find Four Creeks clean, cozy, and simply splendid. I can add this to my collection of fond memories in small towns.
This was our first time at a B & B and Jeannie & Shawn made it special. My husband and I enjoyed everything!! From the warm welcome, to the cozy rooms. Everything was clean and neat. Even the little touches in the room made it special. There were teas, coffees, hot chocolate and even a box of chocolates. There was a mini fridge in the room as well. We had the Elk room which was very nice. The breakfast's were awesome. I couldn't believe how much you got!! We will definitely go here again!
We stayed at the Four Creeks Bed and Breakfast twice last week and we enjoyed both nights. Shawn and Jeannie welcomed two wet cyclists (twice) without blinking an eye. We really appreciated having a dry place to store our bike. The breakfasts were outstanding and we very much appreciated the snacks and drinks in the room. We would definitely stay again if we ever travel through Girard. Kevin and Cindy, Carrollton, OH
The furniture in the rooms creaks and there is no sign of the pond or waterfall mentioned on the website! There was a live spider with its personal cobweb in our room. If it wasn't for the nice breakfast, the stay would have been a disaster. I would not recommend the place to anyone.
Four Creeks B&B was very peaceful, kind owners, and less than 2 hours from Niagara Falls. My wife and I felt right at home. We will be returning in the very near future. The breakfast was very nice also;tea and crumpets, and peaceful music. Thanks for a memorable time. The Sedgwick's
this was a very nice place and we will return in the future
we stayed at Four Creeks on 7/6/12. The owners were very welcoming. The place was clean and quaint. The breakfast was terrific. We would stay there again.
Niet eerder in een bed en breakfast geweest, maar dit was een hele goede ervaring! Zeer vriendelijke gastvrouw en heer, heerlijk ontbijt, fijne knusse kamers met oog voor detail. Zeker voor wandelaars of natuurliefhebbers een aanrader in de buurt van Erie (en het schiereiland Presque Isle).


text: Does anyone know why JT didn't play his rookie year? He has absolutely no stats for 1986. Was he hurt early on then put on IR? I know there was only marginal depth at WR with Clark, Rice, Wilson, etc. Was he in Bill Walsh's doghouse? He also had drug trouble in '88 but i don't think it was that. Other than one pass and dropping it, AJ has similarly been M.I.A. his rookie year...with how high he was picked i'd be happy if AJ just shows promise of having half as good a career as JT

Unfortunately it's not working after the update to the newest version. The classes are there links appear correctly but when clicking a link (in my case) Set as Secondary Image - nothing happens... there must be a small issue that I am missing - as far as I am concerned it is somewhere in the Set/Remove part with the Ajax handler.
Although I am not a specialist and I can't say for sure.
I double checked it with WP 3.2.1 and it works flawlessly which probably means that the bug comes from the changes made to the newest version of WP.
If any of you guys knows what is the issue behind it, let me know.
Thanks in advance - other than that - Great plugin - Great job !

At Tuesday's Dothan Commission meeting, city leaders talked about why utility customers have been paying more for their fuel.
Commissioner Paul Lee brought the issue up and says there are variable costs of different fuels that generate electricity.
Natural gas, nuclear coal and hydro are among them and right now; the production of hydro is down almost 50 percent.
City Manager Mike West says it's due to drought conditions north of Georgia.
Meanwhile, many Dothan customers are questioning the fuel adjustment charge on their bills.
Commissioner Lee addressed that issue by saying, "The fuel adjustment charge is a pass-through. It's a pass-through to Dothan Utilities, and it's a pass-through to us as customers."
Commissioner Lee says the city of Dothan does not make a profit from the fuel adjustment charge.

"Huacachina: a true Oasis" Top 5 Page for this destination Huacachina by darthmilmo
Huacachina Travel Guide: 51 reviews and 119 photos
I came to Huacachina expecting to stay at most one night and one day. My plan was to sand surf the sand dunes with a board for the morning and take a bus out to Nasca at night. Instead, I lost a part of my heart in this lovely oasis. I ended up staying three nights, but there could have easily been more. I made so many fellow travelers at Hostal Casa de Arena that it made me stay a few extra days. Sand boarding was a frightening experience my first day, not as frightening with some alcohol in your body as I will learn a few nights later :). Anyways, my first day was frightening. The walk up the sand dune is tiring to say the least, but the view from the desert on top is amazing. I did some practice on a small sand dune on the back, but ended up falling down every time. I ended up sitting down on my board on the way down :). I didn't stand up until I was almost at the end. Interestingly enough, I found out that if you take your fear of falling, sand boarding is an excellent experience. That afternoon, I climbed to the top of the Sand dune to take some pictures. The 360' view from atop is breathless. You get to see desert all around, except the small oasis of Huacachina. This is just how I had imagined a desert: dunes all over, no life except on or near occasional oasis. I jumped down the dune this time (no not one big jump, jejeje)... let me tell you, it was fun :). I felt like an astronaut jumping on the Moon :).
- Pros:Sand Surf the desert slopes in this amazing picturesque oasis town.
- Cons:As in the beach, sand gest into everything :)
- In a nutshell:Oasis, desert, sandsurf, and more!

Ive seen an article on the internet of this guy completely naked who left the people on his tour to fend for himself because he got completely trashed in the middle of the desert for several days. Maybe not a real consistent guide
Sand Boarding was fun. I had great time there & thanks for your tips.
The America's answer to the dunes of the Namib. Easy to see why you changed your travel plans. Now get that board over to the White Sands and work on your technique:-)
thank you for climbing up the sand hills and taking this beautiful photos!
Terrific info and pics here. Sounds like it was an amazing adventure, absolutely amazing!
great pics, very good info

Math game that featured Bach and Mozart
Around 1995 I played a game on the Mac in school that was for educational purposes, supposedly for the purposes of drilling math skills, and had Mozart Symphony no. 40 (1st movement and but I think 3rd as well), Bach BWV 999, and possibly some Paganini as well, as background music. Do you know what it was?
Making the impossible possible
Help with a simultaneously math & non-math question: Finding the square root of a negative number was impossible until imaginary numbers came along. What are examples of other things that were impossible until we altered systems that have been created? [more inside]
The economics of travelling bands
I'm told that for bands, the money is in live gigs - not much comes in from album sales. However. I was at a concert in Los Angeles recently, full house of about 500. Three bands, of which two had recently played Coachella. $25 general admission. This, to me, seems like terrible money. What's really going on? Help me overthink my plate of beans. [more inside]

What are the odds?
MathFilter: What are the odds? I have exactly 5,115 mp3's on my iPod. I was just sitting here at work listening to it shuffle through stuff. "Me, Myself, and I" by De La Soul came on, THEN when that was over it was immediately followed by "Freak" by George Clinton. The De La Soul track samples heavily from "Freak". What are the mathematical odds that the next track in a random playlist would be the sample source of the previous song?
The other kind of math rock.
Looking for songs about math! My girlfriend's sister just got into a Ph.D. program for mathematics and we're making her a mix CD to help celebrate. Poppy indie rock especially good. [more inside]
Why does a major key sound confident and happy, while a minor key can sound sinister or sad?
How can a major key sound confident and happy, while a minor key can sound sinister or sad? Is it just centuries of musical brainwashing, or is there a real mathematical explanation?

Skip to comments.White House: We dont know if Syria red line has been crossed
Posted on 04/25/2013 7:10:46 PM PDT by Cheerio
Despite a new U.S. intelligence community assessment that the Syrian regime likely used chemical weapons on its own people, the White House is still waiting for more evidence before deciding whether Bashar al-Assad has crossed President Barack Obama's "red line."
The White House scrambled Thursday to set up a conference call with reporters following Thursday morning's news that the U.S. intelligence community has concluded with varying levels of confidence that there has been small-scale use of sarin, a deadly nerve gas, inside Syria, most likely by the Syrian regime. Secretary of State John Kerry told lawmakers Thursday that the assessment referenced two instances of chemical weapons use in Syria.
(Excerpt) Read more at thecable.foreignpolicy.com ...
Drudge can take cheap shots at 0bama because 0bama misplayed Syria so badly.
On one hand is Assad. On the other side is Al Qaeda fighting Assad.
Which side would the U.S. take if we went in?!
Lose-lose proposition.
We win by staying out.
Qualify this line as "Light Pink" we're waiting for the red one.
arabs killing arabs equals win-win for US if you ask me.
Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction , maybe
Bashar al-Assad used Chemical weapons , maybe
Hard to say if Assad used the Sarin gas...or if Al Qaeda used it fighting against Assad.
Both sides are dirty.
Wasn't there something from Saddam Hussein that he called the red line of death? It was a pretty laughable prop piece.
What difference does it make?
I dont know what we should or shouldn't do about Syria, but
the world (and especially the Islamicist enemies of America) just LAUGH at us when we put out bs statements or pronouncements like this....
contradicting or waffling from what we said we'd do just yesterday and last week and the month before and the year before
and etc.
perhaps it would be better if someone could just pull the plug on that infamous Teleprompter for a few weeks, if only to give the blessed thing a rest?
I think it only matters to the Israeli's.
Translation: We believe that chemical weapons were used but by the Muslim Brotherhood and rebels. So we are going to weasel out of doing aything.
...and never will know.
If someone gives the Teleprompter a rest, it will give us all a rest from all this bs too
Works for me.
Whatever side. Obama takes, I want the other side.
Well it turns out he didn't say how far the line had to be crossed before it was really crossed.
This is a "Line of Death"....you cross it, you die.
Ok, you cross this line, you die.
Cross this line, you die.
Cross this line, you die.
Alright, that's it, you come knocking on my door, I'm not coming out...nyaah!
-Robin Williams
Light pink? Is Reggie Love involved?
Which side would the U.S. take if we went in?!
Lose-lose proposition.
We win by staying out.
You're right, of course.
But try telling that to John McCain.
An Arizona village is missing its idiot...
I had a "wait, what?" moment today when Assad was mentioned. Didn't know he survived that assassination attempt by his bodyguard; sounded pretty sure he was dead and Syria just kinda fell off my radar.
...aka the Waffle House...
I'm sure 96% of American voters could care less if those animals use Sarin gas. Just like 96% could care less about owning guns and 96% want undocumented Democrats deported back home.
While I mourn for the indigenous Christian minority caught in the crossfire in Syria, indeed, in all of the Middle East, I am reminded of Sun Tzu's wisdom: "When you see your enemy destroying himself, do nothing."
You understood the sarcasm of my post. POTUS will never take any "real" action —— He's a "Reggie Love"!
It looks like Assad has turned the tide. The West got cold feet, maybe with good reason.
It's an old Democrat problem.... figuring out what the meaning of the word "is" is.
Where millions are screwed and billions wasted...

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
Detroit SOUP has found a home for the foreseeable future at the Jam Handy building on W. Grand Blvd.
By a show of hands, the recent coverage that Detroit SOUP received on NBC's Nightly News didn't have much to do the over-capacity crowd at last night's special SOUP event, co-hosted with Kiva Detroit. The event featured four small businesses vying for crowd favorite, rather than the usual mix of prospects for micro-grant funding, which in the past has included art projects, social services and radio stations.
SOUP has been formalizing its act, with bleacher seating, more full-sized tables, and a corps of devoted regulars that brought their own chairs.
As organizer Amy Kaherl pointed out, small business start-ups have never won the SOUP pot, so it made sense to collaborate with Kiva to create a special SOUP event restricted to contenders in that class. Last night's SOUP pot was approximately $1,700, comprised of the $5 entry fee which granted more than 300 attendees some soup, a single vote, and the benefits of an evening spent in the company of other people who believe in the power of localized investments and the regeneration of Detroit on a grassroots level.
Amy Kaherl, SOUP organizer and champion of crowd-sourcing culture.
Last night's presenters were Amanda Brewington, representing Always Brewing Detroit, a coffee shop/gathering space which enjoyed pop-up success in the Grandmont-Rosedale neighborhood earlier last year, and is looking to make that relationship permanent. She was followed by Sebastian Jackson, Wayne State Student and entrepreneurial mind behind the Social Club Grooming Company.
Jackson's Social Grooming Club donates all their untreated hair clippings to be used for local tree farming, as the high nitrogen content in hair makes it an ideal fertilizer component.
Katie Kolbus spoke next, expounding on the particulars for Motown Freedom Bakery, her allergy-friendly mobile bakery, which currently creates "elevated baked goods" to sustain satisfaction, and is exploring cooperative-style delivery schedules to meet mobile demand all over the Detroit metro area. The evening's final presentation was made on behalf of Elias Lopez, a formerly homeless man who is working to raise the franchise fee to cover a windshield repair micro-franchise.
Conversation following the presentations was brisk, as attendees decided who should receive their vote.
Congrats to Always Brewing Detroit, who took the micro-funding honors! If you'd like to support some of the other contenders, both Social Club Grooming Company and Motown Freedom Bakery can be found by searching 'Detroit' at zip.kiva.org and search.

Alphabet: Michael Craig Martin
18 September - 13 October 2012
A Hayward Touring exhibition from Southbank Centre, London
NUCA is delighted to host this Hayward Touring exhibition of screen prints by the distinguished artist and educator Michael Craig-Martin. Craig-Martin is one of the most influential British artists of recent decades. He was a key figure for the YBA (Young British Artists) generation many of whom he taught in his capacity as Professor at Goldsmiths, University of London. In Alphabet he has produced 26 screen prints in which the letters of the alphabet are overlaid with everyday objects such as a book, a glass of water or an umbrella.
Throughout his career Craig-Martin has explored the iconography of everyday and designer objects. In Alphabet visually arresting images are set against a background of vivid monochrome colours and overlaid with a single letter. In this series, created in his signature style, Craig-Martin plays with the idea of the ABC children's primer. Instead of a direct 'A is for Apple', 'B is for Ball', the relationship between the letter and image is more ambiguous and requires some guesswork.
Over the past decade Craig-Martin's practice has embraced digital technology as a tool for working on ideas and compositions. He has used a computer to create an image bank of everyday objects which have been employed in large-scale wall drawings and acrylic paintings on canvas. He drew upon this resource to create Alphabet, which was then produced using traditional screen printing methods.
Craig-Martin was born in Dublin in 1941 and educated in the United States, where he studied at Yale University under Josef Albers. He returned to Europe in the mid-1960s and was a key figure in the first generation of British conceptual artists. As a tutor at Goldsmiths from 1974-1988 and Professor from 1994-2000 he had a significant influence on two generations of young British artists.
This series of 26 screen prints was published by the Alan Cristea Gallery in 2007.

Welcome to 1to1 Media — a multimedia resourcefor CRM and Customer Experience Professionals.
Customers are increasingly choosing to do business with companies they trust. But even if they've purchased from a particular company repeatedly, many customers still want to see the product they're buying before parting with their money.
Organizations that have a large catalogue of products find is especially important to show clients their choices, and the ability to do this effectively is many times essential in order to close a sale. Among these are bespoke clothing that are tailor-made for customers. Dallas-based clothing company J. Hilburn, which specializes in custom pieces and ready-to-wear items, knew that its customers wanted to see an example of the finished product in their preferred color, as well as how a particular item would look paired with other pieces of clothing, before making an order. "We realized that we needed to show customers how their clothes would look and how they would work together," says Veeral Rathod, one of the company's founders.
J. Hilburn works with more than 2,000 style consultants across the U.S. who visit customers to take their measurements and give them styling advice. This means that the company needed to offer a portable solution that would allow style consultants to show their customers how an outfit they're about to order would appear. According to Rathod, consultants instead were carrying stacks of printed materials to show their clients. Apart from burdening them with a heavy weight, the catalogues didn't show what materials were still in stock and didn't include the full scale of available color options.
The company decided it wanted to leverage the popularity of tablets to give its style consultants a portable tool that allows them to be more effective in their jobs so it partnered with Mutual Mobile to develop a style kit app. "We needed an enterprise system that can help style advisers do their jobs more efficiently and also give added value to customers," Rathod says. The app allows style advisers to check in real time whether ready-to-wear items that a customer might be interested in are in stock, allowing customers to select another item if their first choice isn't available. Further, style advisers have a much larger catalogue to show customers. For example, if a customer is interested in ordering a shirt in a particular color, the style adviser can use the app to show him what the shirt looks like in his size.
An additional benefit is that style advisers can show their customers other items in stock which would go with that particular article they're purchasing. Further, advisers can create visual wardrobe options which they can email to their clients, making sure they always wear clothes that match.
Rathod says the solution has made style advisers much more efficient and is allowing them to improve their relationship with customers. In fact, many advisers create a collection before meeting with a client and then show him the different options of clothing combinations.
Since launching the application last July, J. Hilburn has seen the average order size go up by a notable 67 percent. Rathod says because customers are seeing the items they're interested in purchasing, they're more comfortable spending money.
Further, style advisers are more efficient, especially since the app allows them to place an order while they're still with the customer rather than have to worry about paperwork later on. The company is also benefitting by being able to launch new items very quickly rather than have to wait for catalogues to be printed.
Rathod says the company is building a robust data system and in the future will be alerting style advisers when a new item that might be of interest to a particular client comes in stock, allowing them to contact their customers with this information.
Lessons Learned
Leverage new technology: The proliferation of smartphones and tablets are giving companies new ways to interact with their customers.
Personalize interactions: Organizations should give their frontline employees the tools to tailor services to their customers.
Give added service: Customers appreciate getting added value from the organizations they do business with and are more likely to become loyal clients and advocates.
