Certainly sufficient clinical experience has now been obtained by reliable observers the world over to assign to the prevailing epidemic of influenza a place among the inflammatory neuroses. French, English, German, Italian, Russian, and American writers have noted the prominence, and often persistence of the nervous symptoms, discussing them generally as sequelæ. The initial and concomitant symptoms of influenza are so markedly those of a toxic inflammatory neurosis expending itself chiefly on the nerve coverings, nerve endings, and mucous membranes, that this aspect of its symptomatology and pathology will probably not be gainsaid by any one. The nerve centers, too, are so plainly involved as to need no proof other than what has been already offered by general clinical experience, so that its neuropathic and psychopathic accompaniments and sequences are the conditions obviously to be combated. It is a disease in the management of which the diagnostic and therapeutic experience

Police: Man grabs woman's wallet at Central Market
Suspect admits he has drug problem, police say
Published 11:35 AM EDT Mar 12, 2013
A 28-year-old man faces charges after he grabbed a woman's wallet from her hand at Central Market in Lancaster over the weekend, according to police.
The 35-year-old Manheim woman, who had an infant strapped to her chest, struggled with Andrew David Brown on Saturday morning, police said. Bystanders detained Brown until officers arrived.
Police said they found a hypodermic needle in Brown's pants pocket and he admitted to them he has a drug problem.

What are you most proud of? The ease with which the mug rug pattern transferred into a lovely little wall quilt measuring 9.5" square.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Start with the mug rug pattern and make the sea and sky bigger - as big as you want. Add an extra wave and a line of flying geese. Alternatively you could add applique clouds (from April Sky Mug Rug pattern) or a line of bunting (as found on Dad/Pop Mug Rug). When you are all done, add a couple of quick corner triangles to the back before you put the binding in place. Play around, try something new, use tie-dye fabrics, try a new patchwork technique. But whatever you choose to do - have fun! p.s. For a tutorial on the 3D flying geese block check out my blog at http://thepatchsmith.blogspot.co.uk/.
That is soo cute!
I love this!!
Thank you - I am rather partial to it myself :-) It doesn't show so much in the photo but the sea is jade green and the patched wave stands slightly proud due to the quilting.

2 races highlight county school board elections
October 27, 2013
Two races for open school board seats in both the Williamsport and Montoursville area school districts highlight this year's local elections....
Please vote! Save the public education system from the self-interested! Have no doubt that STSD is well on its way to bankruptcy and mandatory state takeover under the aegis of the current regime! The hour of doom is at hand unless new common-sense leadership is elected soon! Vote on Tuesday!

Everyone should check into each of these individuals backgrounds. There are far too many socialists/Marxists taking over our childrens lives in schools. One look at what is going on in Philadelphia with their school system should be a wake up call to those that are not already in the know. Common Core should be avoided at all costs. Indoctrination is the new norm in schools these days. Vote for people that will be against such radical beliefs.

Thanks for sharing!!
Ok so currently I make all my own laundry soap, dishwashing soap, soft scrubbing agents for bathrooms, and toilet bowl cleaner. I'm going to even expand further but I just wanted to share that all the recipes are simple and found easily online. They work very well at cleaning and I save so much $$$. I mean I use my homemade laundry soap that is less than 3 cents a load, which is like 7 to 10 times less than store bought cleaners. I also save on all the other cleaners I make and I am not adding endless plastic bottles to landfills. The chemicals I use are more natural and do not include all sorts of *extras* either.
So here are a few links if anyone is interested. Give it a try and I know you will love it.
10 Homemade Laundry Soap Detergent Recipes : TipNut.com
Farmhouse Blessings: Frugal Living ~ Homemade Soft Scrub
Also never buy those expensive rinse aids for your dishwasher. They all include white vinegar as an agent. So I have been filling my rinse container with cheap and easy vinegar and my dishes come out spotless every time.
Thanks for sharing!!

I make all my own cleaners besides laundry, and dish washing. Our water here is so hard, and nasty that nothing was getting clean. Clothes would come out dingy, and smelly, and dishes in the dishwasher looked like I poured a gallon of milk on them (white spots coated the dishes ick). I still use very green products even though I did not make them myself. I also use white vinegar in place of fabric softener, and makes the best non streak glass cleaner(1/2 water 1/2 vinegar, and a drop of dish soap). We save a huge amount of money doing this. =)
Thanks for sharing! I've been making some of my own cleaning supplies for a while, but there are some there I didn't know. I did just review Tropical Traditions All Purpose Cleaner (and am giving some away on my blog) and I think that stuff is absolutely wonderful- a lot easier than making stuff. I guess it's more a supplement than a replacer for homemade cleaners though.
We have horrible amounts of calcium in our water and it is all around the faucet and aroudn the drain in the tub etc. I have tried all the commercial calcium/lime removers with very limited success. Any homemade tips for that?
My daughter was allergic to most cleaners until recently. She would break out in a rash unless I used the more expensive dye and purfume free stuff. So that got me exploring more natural options. It has worked great for me so far.
I use 1/2 vinegar, 1/2 water and a TBSP of orange oil as my all purpose cleaner. I use it for everything. Best stuff ever
Strict Vegetarian going primal as of 3/2011. This is a tough row to hoe!
So far I am down:
- 6lbs
- 1" in my waist
- 2.5" at my belly button
- 1" in my hips
I make all my own too.
All purpose cleaner - 1 cup vinegar, drop of castile soap, fill bottle.
Glass cleaner - straight vinegar
Tough scrub - baking soda and water paste
Laundry - soapnuts and vinegar
Dishwasher - soapnuts in the closed off part of the silverware thingy
Hand dish washing - bar of castile soap
Floors - all purpose cleaner
Pans that have food caked on - hot water overnight with a spoon of baking soda

Esc/rudder Question
Ok all you electric flyers. In setting up my 3DHS slick I was installing the motor and getting my servos set and checking connectivity.
My point.
Why does the rudder move when you apply power to the motor. I am hoping that this is normal. I a guessing it has to do something with the motor and the power that is put down. I conclude this also to the motor mount being off a few degrees which I had someone answer before that the motor mount is designed that way.
Coming for nitro planes I have not had the rudder move when applying power to the motor...

ok, that's weird...
You sure you don't mistakenly have some mixing enabled in you radio settings?
The other scenario is maybe you are moving the rudder slightly with your thumb when giving power. (this happens to me sometime with my elevator. i go up elevator but my thumb moves the ailerons a bit on accident.
I have 3dhs edge. and no issues with rudder moving except when my thumb is sometimes dumb :P

Ok so I am not crazy. It is weird
I checked the mixes and flipped the switches and nothing changes. Good news is I am not flying it with the radio I was using for testing. I have a futaba on order and awaiting shipment.
I know it's not me moving the stick because if I let o and leave the throttle up the rudder stays kicked to the right if you looking from the motor to the tail.
Glad to know that it is not normal

So in response to unitoo1.
I went ahead and cleared the radio and setup as a new model. Not luck same result. Needless to say I need some new gear.
I did have some fun running my 42" slick down the street wingless testing the motor and rudder alignment. Even though the rudder kick off to the right when adding throttle I managed to get it all squared away and running perfectly straight.
I am a little amp'd to get his thing in the air but am taking my time in getting it all squared away. Still waiting on one more servo and new radio gear. Hope to get this in maiden flight mid May or a little sooner.
Sadly for now, its just hanging on my garage wall looking good

My guess is you are not moving th stick in a straight manner and are inducing a little bit of rudder without realizing it. You should be able to adjust the side to side tension on the stick so you will feel any resistance if you are accidentally adding rudder without knowing it. You may have to add a lot of tension to help prevent this. I tend to do the same thing on the right stick and would add aileron unintentionally when using the elevator. I added a lot of tension for the side to side motion and this eliminated the problem.

TG43. Yes it is still moving the rudder. It's my old Dynam 2.4 from an old heli 450. I am 100% positive it's is set correctly.
Jetinteriorguy. It's not me moving left or right. I can push the throttle up and take my hands off and it stays.
Installed the radio gear back into my nitro plane and it does the same thing. Either I have a bad radio or a bad receiver. New one is on order so it really does not matter much weird though as it worked fine in my heli last month.
I should take video of it and post.

Hmm.. I know u got new gear on the way but... I would love to hear what the manufacture of your gear would say.
Mabye you should contact them to get a answer. Just so we know what exactly is defective.
Would be good Info just to know.
Please keep us informed
And I can't wait to see ur maiden!
I just had my 3rd day on my 41 3dhs edge. And I'm in love. So I know u will be too !!

Well its a cheap dynamo radio. Good news is that my Spekturm arrived today and its installed! With no issues
Now I think I have a bad lipo pack as I had it charged fully and did a test run with the prop on and it runs for a min or so and cuts out. Cut the throttle and give it a sec and go back to half and it runs for a bit then cuts out. Don't have another to test so I wait yet again UGH!!! When will I stop spending money LOL.
Did manage to get it to hover in my driveway. Seems the CG is right on the money when upright.

Was your dynamo transmitter in helicopter mode?
Also glad to hear your spectrum is working good!
Now we need vids of that hover. Hehe
And yes. That's what a bad battery does ;(. It sounds like its old or was puffed or something.

Pretty sure it was not in heli mode. But who knows. It did come with the heli
I wasn't going to fly the slick with it. Mainly used it to get the servos some what centered.
The lipo is about a year old. My friend is going to swing by tomorrow and see if his charger can bring it back to life. He has been running lipos for a few years and knows all about them. Me, I was more of a gas/nitro guy converting to electric
I will see what I can do video wise. Only had about 60 to 90 seconds on the battery so didn't want to push it

You gotta check for us
I have had batteries do the same thing over time... Here are a few causes.
1) drained the battery to low during flight
2) did not balance the battery during charging process repeatedly.
3) storing the battery for sometime while the battery is charged.
4) a impact of some sort to the battery.
5) probably something else I forgot

Looks like a nut case.
What's up with this?
Looks like a nut case.
Well I'm going to stop taking 10 grams of fish oil a day for sure haha. I don't think O3 are all it's cracked up to be.
I sort of agree in the sense that we need a certain amount but after that there is nothing good about any polyunsaturates, as they just tend to get squirreled away in tissues and are susceptible to peroxidation, unlike saturated and monounsaturated fats which go towards energy and repair. That author definitely looks a bit like a raging nutbar though.
rphlslv, if you stop taking that fish oil you will also have to reduce your omega 6 hugely. Ratio is far more important than total amount. Total amount within the confines of a good ratio and a PUFA sufficiency is just my usual nitpicking.

Who would have thought that omega 6 which is anti-inflamitory would become inflamitory once we overdosed on it by digesting the modern western diet.
The truth appears to be balance, not one against the other. Never forget that both are necessary... in the correct ratios.
The article is by a chiropractor, which in my opinion, would not have the credentials or background to make such claims. I am not knocking chiropractors. I am just saying this is not their arena of expertise.
Breast milk has DHA/EPA in it. Our brain flourishes with DHA. DHA/EPA are necessary for life. And, breast milk has EPA/DHA.
Polyunsaturated fats in the abundance and state they are in today are not good for us. Omega 3s on the other hand, even though polys, are good for us. Avoiding them is ignorant of observational evidence (see breast milk/human body composition). Not avoiding polyunsaturated fat is ignorant of observational evidence (see average American).
Most my fat is omega 3/coconut oil saturated fat.

Radisson SAS Farnham Estate Hotel & Spa Opens in Ireland
On August 10, Farnham Estate opened to the public for the first time in three centuries. The facility in Cavan in Ireland's Lakeland region is now called the Radisson SAS Farnham Estate Hotel.
The opening of Farnham is the most comprehensive reinvention in the history of the estate. A combination of top architects, spa and interior designers were brought together at Farnham to connect elements of the original buildings including the classical Farnham House with sleek contemporary spaces.
Located equidistant between Dublin and Belfast, the Radisson SAS Farnham Estate Hotel offers 158 bedrooms and suites, restaurants, a lobby bar and a conference center. The refurbished Farnham House provides guest suites, public reception rooms and a cellar bar. The original rooms of the Great House were restored and guests can relax in the music room, the boardroom or a boudoir.
The 40,000-square-foot Farnham Estate Health Spa was designed by Austrian Heinz Schletterer. The Austrian architect also crafted spas at the Waldorf Astoria in New York and on the recently launched cruise ship Queen Mary.
The spa contains dry and wet treatment rooms; a thermal suite; relaxation rooms; lounges; an indoor/outdoor infinity pool with views overlooking Farnham's meadows and woodlands; a fully-equipped gymnasium; a salon; a pilates/yoga room; a retail outlet; and a restaurant.
Farnham Estate has approximately four miles of walking trails, which wind through ancient redwood, cedar, copper beech, Scotch pine and yew trees around the estate. In addition, there is fishing on Farnham Lake and 1,300 acres of parkland and rolling pastures. Set to debut in late 2007 is an 18-hole golf course designed by Jeff Howes. The facility will be augmented by a driving range, clubhouse and a golf academy.

I'm always learning new things from friends and readers on Facebook. This idea for Banana Pecan Oatmeal Brûlée came from a quick breakfast exchange with my friend Renee:
Nicole: It's chilly and rainy and I haven't eaten breakfast yet. I think it's time for some oatmeal!
Renee: Oatmeal Brulée! Oatmeal on the bottom of an oven-safe dish (ramekin), layer of sliced bananas, layer of chopped pecans, a little brown sugar and into the broiler 'till the sugar caramelizes. VOILA! Heaven.
It sounded so good to me that I went into the kitchen and did exactly what she suggested. It was a perfect rainy day breakfast and so delicious that I just had to share it with the rest of you!
Banana Pecan Oatmeal Brûlée
4 cups water
1 cup steel cut oats
pinch of salt
1/4 cup milk
1 – 2 tablespoons butter
1 large banana, sliced
2 – 3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/3 cup chopped toasted pecans
1. Bring water to boil in a medium saucepan (or large saucepan if making several servings at once). Stir in oats and salt, if using, and immediately reduce heat to low. Watch carefully, because the water might foam up and boil over. (If using an electric stove, and the water foams up before the burner cools down enough, briefly lift the pan off the heat and the foam will subside.) Simmer uncovered over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes or until oats are of desired texture.
2. Remove oatmeal from heat and stir in milk and butter. Pour oatmeal into a small casserole dish (about 1 1/2 quarts) and arrange banana slices over the top. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the top of the bananas. Put casserole under a preheated broiler until sugar starts to melt (watch carefully, it happens pretty fast). Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped pecans.* Serve warm.
Serves 4.
Recipe Notes: *When I made this the first time, I put the pecans on before broiling it and found that they started burning before the sugar was melted. From now on, I'll just sprinkle it with toasted pecans after it comes out of the oven. You don't have to use steel cut oatmeal, that's just what I prefer. Feel free to start with four servings of any type of oatmeal.

My bff loves brulee, and I'm pretty sure she would love this too.8:17 pm Mar 4th, 2011
I would never thought of using cut oats in a brûlée, looks so delicious! 🙂11:03 pm Mar 4th, 2011
I'm pretty sure you just changed my life with this recipe. Just so you know.7:25 am Mar 5th, 2011
There are some folks who would just die and go to Heaven if they ate this for breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner!9:12 am Mar 5th, 2011
What a great idea for oatmeal! I love oatmeal but sometimes grow tired of its sameness.5:44 pm Mar 5th, 2011
Made this yesterday morning! It was very tasty. Only had quick cook steel cut oats, so next time I'd like to try the real deal. Kind of reminded me of bananas foster a bit 🙂9:05 am Mar 6th, 2011
I love steel cut oats and cannot wait to try this twist!4:44 pm Mar 6th, 2011
Wow what a grownup version of breakfast oatmeal. But I bet kids would love it,too.11:50 am Mar 7th, 2011
Oh my gosh, that first photo is gorgeous. This sounds delicious and looks beautiful. I'd never have thought of brulee-ing my breakfast, but I love it!12:25 pm Mar 7th, 2011
LOVE the combo of oatmeal and bananas. Pecans just add icing to the top! I usually cook my oats in vanilla soy milk and cinnamon, which my kids and I love. This morning we had it topped with fresh sliced strawberries-not bad either…10:33 am Mar 8th, 2011
Sounds delish and looks amazing!11:23 am Mar 8th, 2011
This sounds AWESOME. I can't cook with real sugar for another two months (have gestational diabetes), but I think this may work with brown sugar splenda. And I'm so gonna rock it out with real sugar come two months from now. Thanks for the inspiration!4:00 pm Mar 18th, 2011
Toasty pecans, warm banana and brown sugar…such a great combination! This oatmeal brulee is inspiring.10:09 am Mar 19th, 2011
This is wonderful!!!11:58 am Mar 24th, 2011
Great sounding recipe.9:24 am Apr 18th, 2011
I don't have steel cut, just regular old fashioned oatmeal. Is it still 4 cups water to 1 cup oats? It seems like a large ratio and I don't want the dish to be soupy. Can you recommend?4:21 pm May 6th, 2011
I used regular oats and added a half a cup of all natural peanut butter melted to the oats. So delicious!2:22 am May 15th, 2011

NBER Working Paper No. t0103
We present a model of a financially distressed firm with outstanding bank debt and public debt. Coordination problems among public debtholders introduce investment inefficiencies in the workout process. In most cases, these inefficiencies are not mitigated by the ability of firms to buy back their public debt with cash and other securities--the only feasible way that firms can restructure their public debt. We show that Chapter 11 reorganization law increases investment and we characterize the types of corporate financial structures for which this increased investment enhances efficiency.

The former Playboy model, 55, recently shed 25 lbs. while participating on Bravo's weight-loss show, Thintervention with Jackie Warner.
And now that she has a svelte new figure, Keough is seeking opportunities to show it off in a bikini. "I'm thrilled," she told PEOPLE about slipping into a two-piece. "I always thought I'd lose weight and then go get liposuction or something, but I never did. I'm as hard as a rock."
The reality star and mom of three, who recently treated herself to "a bunch of new dresses," hasn't completely cut out her guilty pleasures. "I still love pizza," she says. "I just limit myself to two pieces once a month."
Keough also refuses to give up alcohol, but she's changing her preferences. "I loved drinking red wine, but Jackie's pretty much convinced me vodka or tequila with some fresh lime in it is a better route to go," she says.
Keough, who spent three hours a day commuting back and forth from Orange County to Los Angeles during filming for Thintervention, says she still works out four or five days a week. She's also made other lifestyle adjustments in addition to becoming more active.
"I eat every three or four hours," she says. "I have to think more and take more time to be prepared and have food with me, so I don't get to a place where I'm just starving and have to have pizza right now."
The Thintervention finale, which will feature the weight-loss of Keough and her costars, airs Monday on (10 p.m. ET) Bravo.

PATERSON — The man charged in the deadly shooting of a 12-year-old Paterson girl was transferred to the county jail Thursday and held in protective custody ahead of his first scheduled court appearance, authorities said.
Jhymiere Moore, 19, was being kept away from other inmates at the Passaic County Jail because of the high-profile nature of Genesis Rincon's killing, according to Sheriff Richard H. Berdnik.
Moore was moved from Paterson police custody to the county lockup around 1:40 p.m., the sheriff said. He would undergo a medical and psychological evaluation.
"The Sheriff's Office takes its responsibility of custodial care seriously and will ensure that Jhymiere Moore ultimately faces the charges against him in Superior Court," Berdnik said in a statement.
The Paterson resident was set to appear before Judge Greta Gooden-Brown in Passaic County Superior Court Friday morning, officials said. He turned himself in Tuesday to face charges of murder and various weapons offenses, and was held on $3 million bail, cash only.
Berdnik said because Moore was now in violation of his three-year probation from a drug charge he could not be released even if he managed to make bail.
Moore shot Rincon in the head as she rode her scooter with friends in a violent section of Paterson Saturday night, according to police and prosecutors. Investigators do not believe she was the intended target, but have not detailed what prompted the gunfire.
Rincon was declared brain dead, but kept on life support so her family could arrange for her organs to be donated, a family spokesperson has said.
The girl's slaying prompted outrage in Paterson, with hundreds of residents rallying in a call to end gun violence in the state's third-largest city.
Much of the bloodshed is in the Fourth Ward, where Rincon was shot. Five of the city's 10 killings this year took place there, law enforcement statistics show.
Police have pointed to a spike in shootings since 125 officers were laid off in 2011. This year, 53 non-fatal shootings have been reported in the city, officials said.
City officials say 26 police officers will be added at the end of this month and Mayor Jose Torres has proposed a controversial curfew along with surveillance technologies to combat crime.

An NBA player "came out" this week, announcing he is gay. Is homophobia as prevalent today in America as in years past?
What does playing basketball and sex have in common? I fail to see the connection but apparently there is one or there wouldn't be all this commotion.

LOL rpmwwe!
I am trying to get my head wrapped around why Gays think they have to make it a national headline news breaking story in announcing to the world about their sexual preference. As if which sex they choose to sleep with is the public's business and earth shattering news? Does it mean we should start a fan club for him? Gay ratings? Throw him a coming out party? Help him find a date?

In a review article published in 2009, biologists Nathan Bailey and Marlene Zuk at the University of California, Riverside, noted that "many thousands of instances of same-sex courtship, pair bonding and copulation have been observed in a wide range of species, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, mollusks and nematodes."
Some animals, when given a choice, show a preference for the same sex, and researchers have even ascribed a same-sex sexual orientation to members of certain species. Read on for some fascinating examples.

A deep-sea squid that indiscriminately shoots sperm packets onto both male and female squids passing by makes that Squid unequivocally....GAY? okaaay
And now two biologists are spending tons of tax dollars to study Gay birds, reptiles, insects, blah blah blah to do what?
Look for an excuse to make Gays feel comfortable? Show that this is what has been controlling animal, insect breeding populations from taking over our planet?
Okey Dokey!! Well, you know what? If this is the case? Then I sure hope that GAY ANT comes out of the closet soon because I am sick of those little nuisances costing me money to buy Ant Spray all the time!!

"Homophobia" is another one of those words that has become a slur but nobody acknowledges it as a slur yet. It implies far more than what is contained in it's root words. Clearly, its intended to be an insult and nothing more.
Personally, I have nothing against a person if his or her sexual preference is different from my own because it is none of my business. What I do have a problem with is obnoxious people (gay or straight, doesn't matter) who feel that it is their right to inject comments about their sex lives at every perceived opportunity.

Beaumont, first I am going to apologize to you. I wasn't making fun of you or trying to insult you personally. I'm insulting the ignorance of the study.
The problem is this...that is happening and it's stuff like that, that is wasting tax dollars. These ignorant studies is not going to be the defining moment of support Gays need in their Gay right movement. As far as I am concerned...this gay right movement is boring the crap out of me. With all the the issues in this country we face, I am sorry but that just doesn't go on my priority list to slap around my politicians over. Now having said that before I get labeled a HOMOPHOBIC because it makes a Gay feel better....

Personally, I'm not against Gays. I'm really not. I have family members that are Gay. They know my tolerant level to it and they respect it.
If this is what they want for their life style, it is not up to me to Judge it or decide for them...that is up to them and God. If they are ignorant enough to be used as tools in the political arena that is their stupidity not mine.
If they want to tie the knot, let them! Their legal union is not going to impact my life in anyway. My beef is simple.
Don't pass laws forcing me to accept it because that is how my rights are violated. It's the preferential treatment they demand that infuriates the you know what out me. Protected class…BULL CRAP.

Don't call me pathetic names like homophobic because I get sick to my stomach over the thought of two grown men in a bedroom performing sex in the most unnatural and unsanitary way....
…I'm not going to go to some shrink to learn how to adjust to it just to make Gay's happy.
So in other words, Collins pulling this big news stunts announcing he's gay…only did one thing for me. It tells me that putz needs to get his head out of the bedroom and back on the court and in the game!!

Homophobia is still prevalent, but as the last generation that is homophobic as a while continues to die off, it keeps shifting away from it.
I personally can't wait until the day where its to the point that people coming out is no longer "news", and it can just happen because it's accepted.
Whether one is homophobic or not, the fact remains that as long as governments are involved in marriage, they are not in the place to discriminate against it. No church has to ever recognize a gay marriage, but the government should have to. I don't understand why the government ever got involved in what is historically a religious thing anyway.
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
ts1227, I agree that the government should have never got itself involved in marriage. It's nothing but a money draining endeavor. We have a better than 50% divorce rate in this country and we have a government that is now obligated to fund courts to sort out who gets the tupperware and bath towels.
Its true that established churches do not recognize gay marriage. My question is why hasn't the gay community established its own church? That begs further questions: Does a person have to be non-religious or atheist by virtue of his or her same-sex preference? Furthermore, why should a person's sexual preference dictate where they stand on abortion, gun control, immigration, welfare funding, etc.?

Bob, we are the only entity created with a soul and therefore who could understand what is sin. Unless someone should ask my counsel as to what the Bible says about any subject, it's a matter of individual choices. Those choices should, as far as sex, should be a non news, private matter...now if they choose to please God...

It was not just the Israelites that the law applied to. Paul said the law is the schoolmaster that brings us to Christ. Paul was the apostle to the gentiles. Christ fulfilled the law. However he did not fulfill it for everyone it is only fulfilled for those that have been redeemed by grace thru faith. All others are still under the curse of the law. Christ did not do away with the law it is still the curse on those that are lost.

One issue with society is that man sets standards based upon their feelings as to what is good or bad. God lets us know that good can seem bad and bad may seem good when man is in charge. God is very clear in His word.

Religion is also man setting standards based on their feelings as to what is good or bad, while using "God" as a crutch to justify it. At least non-religious people have a decent rationale because they actually put some throught into it.

10/28/2016GNYMLA Chapter Fall 2016 Meeting
2/22/2017 » 2/26/201786th Annual MLA Conference and 1st Pan-American Regional IAML Meeting
This award recognizes extraordinary service to the profession of music librarianship over a relatively short period of time.
Throughout his career, Arsen Ralph Papakhian (1948-2010) was active in the Music Library Association, and he made significant contributions to the association as an officer, committee chair, and author. He served on the board of directors as assistant fiscal officer and fiscal officer (1986-88) and executive secretary (1988-92). In 1992, he was the first recipient of MLA's Special Achievement Award for his "countless efforts to bring the Association into the electronic age of communications"--most notably, for his role in founding MLA-L in 1989--and in 2008 was presented the MLA Citation in recognition of his distinguished service to the profession. He received two Richard S. Hill Awards for the best article on music librarianship: the first in 1985 for the article (written with Richard Smiraglia) "Music in the OCLC Online Union Catalog: A Review" and the second in 2002 for his article "Cataloging," both published in Notes.
The MLA Special Achievement Award was renamed in Papahkhian's memory in 2011.
Ralph was best known for his work as a music cataloger. He was a model practitioner and teacher. Beginning in the late 1970s, he taught classes and supervised internships for library students enrolled in the music specialization offered by IU's School of Library and Information Science. In the mid-1990s, he and Sue Stancu instituted a summer cataloging workshop, and each year the roster for the workshop filled within days and names were added to a waiting list. Over the years, he trained dozens--if not hundreds--of music catalogers and he instilled in each the importance of accuracy, curiosity, and intellectual rigor.
Ralph served as vice-chair and chair of the Music OCLC Users Group, and he was the driving force behind the NACO Music Project, a cooperative effort to manage and build a database of authorized music headings. In 2005, MOUG presented Ralph with its Distinguished Service Award in recognition of his contributions to the group and to the profession of music cataloging.
Ralph is remembered for his brilliant intellect, his principled approach to cataloging, and the spirited fights he waged for what he knew to be right. His calm, serene manner belied the fire in his mind and spirit. When he described how a cataloger makes a decision "in the heat of the cataloging moment," we all laughed, because the anxiety and struggle implied by the words seemed so foreign to Ralph's character. The heat was there, though; he kept it contained and controlled.
Ralph is also remembered as a friend and colleague. He was a person who dealt with everyone on a level playing field. He enjoyed meeting people and would spend as much time talking with a first-time attendee as he would a library director. He spoke honestly and plainly, and valued people who did the same.
Mark has been MLA's most diligent advocate for issues of equality in music librarianship. Recognizing a need for greater diversity in music librarianship, Mark worked on a demographic study of our profession to gather concrete data on the ethnic and racial make-up of our membership. He co-authored an article in Notes which served as a call to action. His efforts led MLA toward working with the Association for Research Libraries on a successful IMLS-funded grant to support studies in music librarianship for individuals from minority populations. The inspiration for and much of the work for this grant proposal came from Mark. The recipients of these grants have enriched and broadened our association. Mark's efforts, however, did not stop at securing funding. Mark also serves as an active and effective mentor to the recipients, advising and encouraging them as they work toward a new career.
Mark's efforts have moved MLA forward in its efforts towards diversity, equality, and inclusion. Thanks to Mark Puente, MLA is finally making progress, and continues to make progress, in this important area.

While many are now calling him the biggest bust in NFL history, it's still highly likely that some NFL team will bring Mobile native JaMarcus Russell into a camp for a look-see before the 2010 season.
Though he's been roundly criticized for his work habits, conditioning and leadership skills, Russell still probably has the strongest arm in the league. With so many coaches who fancy themselves offensive and quarterback gurus looking to make names for themselves, that'll likely be enough for some team to at least give him a shot in camp. It'll most certainly be as a backup, and quite probably as a No. 3 quarterback, but if he can show enough to land a roster spot, he'll have an opportunity to turn his career around.
Even Ryan Leaf got a second chance.
But which team would be most likely to take a chance on Russell?
NFL.com's Bucky Brooks suggests that Cincinnati or New England might be good possibilities, as both favor downfield passing games, have established veteran starters who could serve as mentors to Russell, and are not particularly deep at the position.
Cincinnati, which has had success with discarded players like Cedric Benson and Tank Johnson, has J.T. O'Sullivan and third-year pro Jordan Palmer behind Carson Palmer, while New England has Jeff Rowe, Brian Hoyer and rookie Zac Robinson behind Tom Brady.
Other teams mentioned by Brooks are San Francisco -- which would have three former No. 1 overall picks if they added Russell to a roster that already includes starter Alex Smith and backup David Carr -- and New Orleans, which is checking its options for a backup to Drew Brees.
With an offense that thrives on Brees' game preparation and ability to read a defense -- traits that were not reportedly among Russell's strong suits in Oakland -- New Orleans might not be the greatest fit. But the Times-Picayune's Mike Triplett notes that Saints coach Sean Payton has shown an affinity for reclamation projects in the past.
Along with Brees, the Saints have former Missouri star Chase Daniel and Oregon State rookie Sean Canfield on the roster, with 2009 backup Mark Brunell still an unrestricted free agent.
I'll add a few other possibilities here: Dallas, Green Bay and Washington.
Dallas has only 14-year vet Jon Kitna and second-year pro Stephen McGee behind Tony Romo and has an owner in Jerry Jones willing to take chances. Green Bay likes to throw the ball downfield with Aaron Rodgers, whose backup is Russell's former teammate at LSU, Matt Flynn. The other quarterbacks on the roster are former Harvard QB Chris Pizzotti and Noah Shepard, a rookie from South Dakota.
Washington may not be the greatest schematic fit if it plays to Donovan McNabb's West Coast strengths. But McNabb would make a good mentor for Russell and Redskins owner Daniel Snyder, like Jones, is more than willing to take a chance on a player with upside. Like Green Bay, the Redskins already have four quarterbacks on the roster, however, with Rex Grossman, Colt Brennan and Richard Bartel behind McNabb.

The mission of our laboratory is to understand the distinct patterns of immune responses that occur in the liver. Liver is exposed to bacterial products from the intestine, and these modulate T lymphocyte adhesion as well as priming and differentiation. In the liver, multiple antigen-presenting cell populations can activate naive T cells, but the outcome is often immune tolerance. By learning the rules of immunity in this unusual environment, we can contribute to T cell biology, and to the development of immunotherapy and vaccines.
The Crispe lab has expertise in cellular immunology with an emphasis on T cell biology and innate immunity. Our specialized skills include the dissociation of the liver in situ, and the isolation of highly purified subsets of liver resident hepatocytes,non-parenchymal cells and leukocytes using density gradient centrifugation and fluorescence activated cell sorting. We employ inbred, congenic, transgenic and gene-targeted mice to define the role of elements of the host immune systems, and make novel AAV-based replication defective vectors as antigen delivery vehicles. We have expertise in flow cytometric analysis, and also use microscopy, immunochemistry, PCR and gene array approaches. The lab uses simplified models of liver infection, but also malaria parasites to study immunity to hepatocellular antigens. Through collaboration, we work on human liver cells, particularly Kupffer cells, and on genetically-altered malaria parasites. We have also used experimental orthotopic liver transplantation to identify distinctive features of the hepatic immune environment. In addition to basic immunology, we research mechanisms of T cell-driven liver injury in acute and chronic settings.

Americas economy remains mired in an anemic, jobless recovery. The president remains mired in a big-government philosophy, despite the dismal results its produced on his White House watch. His opponent, who has an impressive background as both a businessman and governor, advocates correcting our errant course by reducing the taxing and regulatory obstacles to the private sector.
Those circumstances make Republican nominee Mitt Romney the clear choice for president on Tuesday.
Four years ago, candidate Barack Obama promised hope and change. But his economic futility shows that our best hope for a positive change in the next four years is to elect a man who has a better understanding of and appreciation for the free markets potential.
And while any election featuring a sitting president is largely a referendum on the incumbent, the aspiring replacements credentials are a crucial consideration, too. In this case, Mr. Romneys qualifications align well with the tests of our time.
The Obama campaign has tried to use Mr. Romneys role as Bain Capitals co-founder and CEO against him. But in our view, Mr. Romneys experience as the successful boss of that investment/management firm would be an asset for him as president.
Octobers national unemployment rate, announced Friday, was a grim 7.9 percent. Thats just slightly better than the 43 straight months at 8 percent or higher (all under this president) a streak that ran through August as the longest at that awful height since the Great Depression. And the present jobless rate would be much higher if millions of Americans hadnt given up on finding work during the Obama presidency.
Now President Obama suggests creating another government job for a Secretary of Business. Perhaps he forgot that he already has a Secretary of Commerce.
Our economy doesnt need more deficit-growing federal intervention. It needs fewer government burdens on the private sector. It needs a president who can forge practical, productive compromises across party lines.
As the Republican governor of Massachusetts from 2003-2007, Mr. Romney worked effectively with a heavily Democratic legislature. Among their shared accomplishments, all without raising taxes: streamlining state government, erasing a $3 billion deficit, adding $2 billion to a rainy day fund and reducing red tape for small businesses.
As for his state health care reform law, aka Romneycare, unlike Obamacare, it didnt boost taxes or cut Medicare. Another crucial distinction: Romneycare was a bipartisan initiative. Obamacare passed both chambers of Congress without a single Republican vote (and with 34 House Democrats voting against it) and without time for lawmakers to read the 2,700-page behemoth.
That mislabeled Affordable Care Act added, in effect, another unsustainable entitlement program, even as Medicare and Social Security continued to plummet toward fiscal oblivion.
President Obama did appoint a bipartisan debt commission then chose not to take the political risk of supporting its recommendations.
Meanwhile, he will have presided over four consecutive federal deficits of at least $1 trillion, boosting the record national debt over $16 trillion. Before he became president, the largest annual deficit was a comparatively modest $455 billion.
So the next president must do more than jump-start a sluggish economy. He must find common ground with the other party on the hard long-term calls required to rescue our fiscal future.
Mr. Obama wants to raise taxes on the rich, whom he defines as those with an income of more than $250,000. That would do little to balance the books while forcing many small businesses to eliminate jobs.
The president cant run on his poor economic record. Thus, he warns that Mr. Romneys ideas represent a return to the failed policies of the past.
Yet the past includes our last 45 months of economic futility under President Obama.
Mr. Obama is Americas first black president a landmark achievement for a nation still emerging from centuries of racial injustice.
He also deserves considerable credit for giving the bold order to take out Osama bin Laden last year. And he wisely backed away from his foolish notions about closing the prison for terror suspects at Guantanamo and trying 9/11 defendants in civil court in Manhattan.
Still, he has struggled to contain some serious foreign-policy menaces, including Irans unchecked march toward a nuclear arsenal and proliferating turmoil in the Mideast. And his administration still hasnt clarified what went so horribly wrong before, during and after the murderous terror attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
At its core, though, this presidential election is about Americas economic present and future.
Mr. Obama did inherit a severe economic mess. But after nearly four years as president, he cant keep passing the buck.
Mr. Romney charts a course for real change and has a proven record of advancing bipartisan solutions.
President Obama does not.
Mr. Obama has offered stale, statist policies in the White House. Mr. Romney would provide fresh, private-sector insights.
Give Mitt Romney a chance to get America back on the right economic track.
Give him your vote.

Mishna Berura
Yeshivat Har Etzion
SHIUR #83: Siman 150
by Rav Asher Meir
The MB in s.k. 2 discusses the perennially upsetting question of breakaway minyanim.
The Radbaz (III:472) was asked about a group of Spanish Jews in North Africa who originally prayed together with the Ma'aravim (Western Jews - this usually refers to Moroccans who for some inexplicable reason are today referred to as "Edot HaMizrach" or Eastern Jews) but later decided to start their own minyan. The question was whether this was permissible and desirable in and of itself, and furthermore if it would exempt the members of the new minyan from paying taxes to the original congregation.
The Radbaz begins by pointing out that proper composure is a basic prerequisite for prayer, and that it is impossible to pray if one is distracted and disturbed by personal animosity. He also relates to the special spiritual unity (ibbur) which is achieved by Jews who are on the same spiritual "wavelength," and points out that this does not exist if, on the contrary, people are at odds with each other. When our sages learned from the verse (Mishlei 14:28) "Be-rov am hadrat melekh" - the King's glory is in the greatness of the assembly - that our worship should preferably be in the largest possible assembly, they were referring to the case when people are indeed assembled and unified. But if the members of the congregation are in a constant state of ill will, then there is certainly no glory to the King in their assembly.
He also likens the choice of a place of prayer to the choice of a place of Torah learning, regarding which we learn, "A person can learn Torah only in a place which his heart desires" (Avoda Zara 19a, YD 240:25).
Regarding taxes he concludes that the break-aways are required to continue to pay community taxes. It is unclear from the responsum if taxes to support the Beit Knesset are included.
The MB also refers to the Pitchei Teshuva on Choshen Mishpat 162 (laws of shared courtyards). The Rema there (se'if 7) says in the name of the Ribash that not only is it permissible for a group of congregants to establish their own minyan in a separate place, but we censure anyone who tries to stop them. The only exception, says the Ribash (siman 253) is if their departure will destroy the first congregation. In this case, he says, it is up to the community leaders to seek a way to maintain both places of worship.
The Pitchei Teshuva cites the Magen Avraham (154:23) mentioned in the MB and many other authorities who rule that the majority MAY prevent part of the congregation from forming their own minyan. And even if the majority permit, certainly the new minyan has no right to any of the property of the existing congregation - such as the Torah scrolls and so on.
All this refers to the case when the members of the new minyan have the possibility of remaining in the old congregation but prefer to be on their own - as the Radbaz discusses. If the existing shul is just too small to hold a growing congregation and they are obliged to split into two, then of course the two new shuls have to reach some kind of equitable distribution of the property. The Pitchei Teshuva mentions that items which were donated by a particular family should remain in the minyan where that family will pray.
The Magen Avraham starts out with the "lenient" view of the Radbaz (lenient towards the breakaways) but then closes with the stringent opinions - leaving the impression that this is the conclusion; however, the MB first quotes the Magen Avraham and then returns to cite the Radbaz, seemingly giving greater weight to the lenient opinion.
I obviously can not give a ruling in this complicated area, but I would like to suggest the following guidelines. The first relates to the what MAY be done, the second to what SHOULD be done.
1. The responsa which refer to the ability to prevent splitting off seem to be referring to an existing municipal congregational structure - a kehilla. The KEHILLA can, according to these opinions, impose on its members to remain in the SYNAGOGUE of that kehilla. But if there is no kehilla and only a beit knesset, then there is no authority which could compel people to stay! Leaving the beit knesset is itself leaving the congregation - comparable to moving out of town - and this in itself removes the yoke of the congregation. It seems to me that this is true even if leaving the congregation will actually damage the existing shul. A town can not compel me to stay just because my leaving will harm the remaining residents.
Therefore, it seems that there is no actual authority to prevent a breakaway minyan in any community where there is no centralized kehilla structure - which is just about anywhere in the United States. Of course, people can be informed that they will cease to belong to whatever congregational structure there is. And the fact that no one can stop people from starting a breakaway minyan does not mean that it is a good idea. It would be responsible for those considering starting a new minyan to internalize the considerations that the kehilla would weigh if such a centralized authority existed.
2. While animosity can prevent a person from concentrating in his prayers, removing the animosity is in general a better solution than starting a new minyan - as the MB points out. Most breakaway minyans nowadays are started over "frumkeit" (religiosity) situations - in both directions. It is extremely important to distinguish between the "frumkeit" or "farfrumptkeit" (overly demonstrative religiosity) of the BEIT KNESSET and that of the MEMBERS of the Beit Knesset.
If my BEIT KNESSET is just not frum enough - the mechitza is not really kosher - or if it is just too farfrumpt - they took down the mechitza and replaced it with a steel-reinforced concrete wall and now the ladies can't follow the davening - then there is a valid reason to weigh finding a more congenial prayer environment.
But if my fellow congregants are not so frum (they read the paper during davening - I've actually seen this) or if they are too farfrumpt (the gabbais ask everyone to put siddurim and chumashim back after Shabbat davening, and someone complains to the Rav that this is "borer" - forbidden sorting) the best thing to do is MYOB (mind your own business) and remind yourself that some things you do probably also look ridiculous or questionable. Furthermore, starting a new minyan will not solve anything, because there is no limit to people's judgmental side in these issues.
An intermediate case is discussed in an interesting responsum of Rav Moshe Feinstein (OC I:46). Rav Moshe was asked about a congregation which put U.S. and Israeli flags on the platform. This act disturbed some congregants so much that they wanted to start a new minyan. The case is intermediate since it seems that the congregants were only partially bothered by the flags themselves; they were also partially bothered by the fact that they were davening together with Zionists.
Rav Moshe's answer has two main points. First, he asserts that even if it were forbidden to put the flags in the Beit Knesset, and even if the people who put them there were transgressors (reshaim), the Beit Knesset retains its sanctity and one should preferably pray there rather than start a private minyan.
Second of all, Rav Moshe asserts that there is no prohibition to have the flags on the platform, since no one worships them. However, he does make it clear that he thinks that it is completely inappropriate ("hevel ve-shtut" - empty nonsense) to have them there.
Here is the instructive closing of this responsum:
If it were possible to peacefully remove them from the Beit Knesset that would be a good thing, but it is forbidden to start a dispute over this. And if we had the power without dispute to get rid of the entire subject of the flag, so that there would be no reminder of the acts of the wicked, perhaps that would also be proper, but God forbid to start a dispute over this. [I'm not sure what this adds - perhaps he means to not have an Israeli flag even OUTSIDE the sanctuary.]
Therefore, those who want to start a new minyan in another place because of this, and think that they are doing a great thing by doing so, they are not acting considerately (ein osim ke-hogen), and this is no more than politics coming from the evil impulse and the Adversary (Satan), who owing to our many sins dances among us until HaShem will have mercy and send us the righteous redeemer and pour out upon us a spirit from on high, to go in the way of the Torah and the truth without deflecting right or left.
The Rambam (Tefilla 11:3) writes, "We erect a platform [bima] in the middle of the beit [knesset], so that the reader from the Torah, or the preacher, can ascend to it and everyone will be able to hear." The Rema also mentions this placement of the bima.
The Kesef Mishneh explains that this is the prevalent custom, the reason being that when the reader is in the middle everyone in the sanctuary can hear him. However, he also justifies the custom of some smaller synagogues to place the platform at the END of the sanctuary - meaning evidently at the front. The Kesef Mishneh explains that the placement in the middle is not an obligation, and in a small synagogue where everyone can easily hear the reader it is attractive to have the bima in front.
What is the source of this custom? We may mention three possibilities:
1. It seems from the Kesef Mishneh that the source is not textual but practical - the need for everyone to hear the reader. This also seems to be implicit in the Rambam.
2. The Chatam Sofer (OC 28) suggests that the source is in the gemara Sukka 51b, which relates that the great synagogue in Alexandria had a platform in the middle.
3. It seems to me that there is a source in the same Tosefta which is the source for the seating arrangement mentioned in the Rema - Megilla 3:21. This Tosefta explains that the elders sit facing the people with their back towards the ark - meaning that they are at the end of the sanctuary. Likewise, when the kohanim bless the people, they face the people with their back to the ark. But regarding the chazan (who stands beside the reader when the Torah is read), the Tosefta merely states that he faces the ark, and that the congregation also faces the ark.
There seems to be a double inference: since the Tosefta does NOT mention that the chazan has his back to the people, we can assume that he is in their midst (after all, regarding the elders, the teiva, and the kohanim the Tosefta orients their back and their faces). Second of all, if the chazan were in front there would be no reason to explain that the people face the ark - where else could they face? But if the reader is in the middle, then we might think that congregants between the bima and the ark should face the bima; the Tosefta informs us, based on a Scriptural source, that everyone should face the ark.
The Bi'ur Halakha mentions the controversy that arose surrounding this ancient custom. Early Reform temples placed the platform at the front of the sanctuary. This imitated the prevalent non-Jewish custom - where a clergyman performs the service on behalf of the congregation - in form and function. This naturally aroused the ire of traditionalists, both on account of it being an innovation, and of course because of the symbolic significance of taking the Torah out from amidst the people. (This was also discussed in the shiur on siman 90.)

In 1997, Sanctuary of Praise Ministries was founded by Pastor J. L. McKnight with a 30-member congregation situated in one of the city's southwest, historically crime-ridden communities.
Almost 9 years later, Sanctuary of Praise Ministries has become one of Orlando's most progressive churches. Sanctuary of Praise is a multiracial congregation of more than 2,000 members, now located at 5600 Westgate Drive on 32 acres of prime commercial property, just 3 miles north of Universal Studios. In January 2007, God catapulted the ministry into a 6-month construction marathon, resulting in the June 2007 completion and celebration of its new sanctuary. Sanctuary of Praise presently owns more than 90,000 square feet of multiple building spaces, including three worship facilities in prime locations in west Orlando, with the ministry's commercial properties totaling 38 acres. Sanctuary of Praise stand firm on a foundation of commitment in caring for the Central Florida community.
The Sanctuary of Praise is consistently seen serving in the distribution of food to neighborhoods throughout Orlando, Clermont, Eatonville, Sanford, Winter Garden, and Apopka; feeding more than 10,000 families in 2005 alone, funded solely from the ministry's outreach program. The ministry's food and clothing banks provide assistance to an average of 700 families each month, and has been declared central Florida's number one, none grant-funded food distribution center by Second Harvest Food Bank. In 2005, compassion's call provoked Sanctuary of Praise to donate over $125,000 in goods and monetary gifts to hurricane victims in the Gulf States, as well as in Florida. The ministry's humanitarian endeavors reach beyond the shores of the United States to support missions in Jamaica, Nassau Bahamas, Freeport Bahamas, Africa, Trinidad, and Haiti, with the provision of food, clothing, housing, orphanages, education, medical assistance and other goods and services.
The church consistently participates in evangelical and practical outreach efforts to prison inmates throughout Florida, including revivals and crusades inside prison and correctional facilities located in Orlando, Coleman, Lowell, Bushnell, and Starke. Inmates from the Coleman facility have participated for 3 consecutive years in the annual "I Did It In The Name Of Love" Relationship Conference founded by Pastor McKnight in 2003, co-hosted annually by Jonathan L. McKnight Ministries (the evangelistic ministry founded by Pastor McKnight) and Sanctuary of Praise. Jonathan L. McKnight Ministries also facilitates radio broadcasts where Pastor McKnight can be heard ministering daily throughout Florida, North Carolina and New York..

Let's start with the strongest point about El Cantante, the joint effort of real-life married couple Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony to bring to life the story of salsa legend Héctor Lavoe: JLo turns in a decent performance as Lavoe's wife. There, I said it -- and I know without even looking at any other reviews that a lot of critics will either outright disagree or gloss over her contribution to the film, but this is the closest I've seen her come to fulfilling the promise she showed way back in Out of Sight in 1998, and it's nice to see her in good form. Unfortunately, El Cantante -- at least as the title implies -- is about Lavoe, not his wife, but the movie focuses at least as much on the wife of the King of Salsa as it does on the man after whom it's titled, and that's one of the film's weaknesses.
El Cantante takes the life of a fascinating and complex man and waters it down into a decidedly uninspiring and vanilla biopic that does nothing to push the boundaries of the genre or make us want to see further efforts to bring the tales of famous, troubled singers to life. Part of the problem is that, while Lavoe's story is historically significant to fans of salsa music, and he undoubtedly influenced the genre and contributed to it greatly, there's just not much in his personal life -- at least as it's presented in this film -- that's unique among famous musicians. Troubled relationships with family and friends, drama in his relationship with his wife, Puchi, the inevitable drug addiction (seriously, are there any famous musicians out there who haven't struggled with drug addiction?), and the inevitable trajectory of rise and fall of fame and fortune, just aren't that compelling in and of themselves anymore. The trouble with biopics is that you have to make them interesting, even to moviegoers who might not previously have known or cared about the person whose story is being told onscreen. The story has to be told in a way that makes it intriguing; Ray did a good job of this, by showing us enough of Ray Charles' life and personal demons to make us care about him as more than just another musician who had problems; Walk the Line, likewise, worked not just because Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon did believable jobs of mimicking their subjects, but because the story of Johnny Cash and his relationship with June Carter was both compelling and dramatized such that it made us empathize and care for them as people, not just performers.
El Cantante falls short in that respect, largely because we don't learn enough about Lavoe the person, as opposed to Lavoe the legend, to really care about what happens to him. This is partly because Lavoe is shown to us primarily from the perspective of his wife, Puchi, rather than the more neutral perspective of am unbiased biographer. I suspect this decision was made largely to give Lopez a starring role opposite her husband; from the beginning, the film lets us know that this is Lopez's film and Puchi's story; it opens with Puchi being filmed for a documentary about her marriage to Lavoe, with Lopez looking decidedly unglamorous and using the "F" word more than we've ever heard from her onscreen.
JLo's playing tough here -- Puchi, like "Jenny from the Block," was a tough Bronx-born girl (a matter of some class importance to Lavoe's Puerto Rico-born sister) who, judging from the film, reveled in the fast lane-life of being married to a famous man. Puchi may have dressed in designer clothes and dripped with jewels during the glory days of her husband's career, but toward the end of her own life, after Lavoe's death, she is portrayed by Lopez as hardened, cynical and tough, the street showing through the former veneer of glam, flashy clothes and culture. Even during Lavoe's concert scenes, we see as much of Puchi dancing around on the edge of the stage in low-cut dresses as we do of the man people paid to see perform. Whether this was true of the real Puchi, I can't say, but as she's shown in this film, Puchi Lavoe was a woman who loved her husband fiercely in spite of his flaws and drug addiction, sought to stand in the limelight of his fame, supported his addictions through her own drug use, codependency, and desire to maintain their lifestyle, and ultimately watched her great love affair unwind into tragedy, despair, and collapsing finances.
Anthony, who is himself a famous salsa singer, does a passable enough job as Lavoe -- he sings and performs believably enough, and he and Lopez have enough chemistry onscreen to pull off the often tumultuous relationship between Lavoe and Puchi. Still, the overall impact is just bland and uninspiring; we're not breaking any new ground in the musical biopic genre here. The script feels like a cookie-cutter version of the musical biopic: Troubled relationship with father? Check. Fiery romance fraught with jealously and infidelity? Check. The inevitable experimentation with drugs, followed by addiction and all its downfalls, including infection with HIV from dirty needles? Check. Tragedy followed by tragedy as things start to fall apart? Check. And so on.
Unfortunately, the film is so focused on Lavoe and Puchi that it glosses over those aspects of the story that would have more humanized Lavoe as an individual and made the story more interesting. I wanted to see more of what drove the man -- why did Lavoe, who'd lost his own brother to drug addiction, and whose move to New York isolated him from his father, turn to drug use himself? El Cantante largely presents Lavoe's addiction as the problem, rather than whatever inside Lavoe drove him to become an addict and sustain that addiction. It does touch on the codependent nature of his relationship with his wife -- there's one telling moment where the documentarian, interviewing Puchi shortly before her own death, wryly notes that maybe she didn't really want Lavoe to change because she liked their lifestyle -- that probably comes closer to truth than anything else in the film. More moments like that would have made for a better and more dramatic film.
Lavoe was certainly a character, although his professional troubles -- chronic lateness resulting from his drug addictions, the impact that had on his friends and bandmates, including longtime partner Willie Colón, and their inevitable tiring of putting up with it -- are hardly unique to him. The Troubled Famous Musician has become such a cliché that really, it would be more interesting at this point to see a biopic about a famous person who didn't fall prey to the pitfalls of fame than yet another tale of tragedy and woe. Bottom line, there's just not enough in Lavoe's story as El Cantante presents it to help it rise above the fray and fascinate.

MOBILE, Alabama -- The teen accused of fatally shooting Wendy Fisher outside her west Mobile home waived his right to a preliminary hearing on a murder charge and did not appear in court this afternoon.
Trayon Washington's court-appointed lawyer, Art Powell, told a judge that it was in his client's best interest to forgo the hearing, in which a homicide detective would have testified about the ongoing investigation.
The hearing had been scheduled for 2 p.m.
District Judge George Hardesty then ordered the case to be sent to a grand jury.
Washington, 18, is accused of shooting to death Wendy Fisher after she yelled at a speeding car to slow down. According to witnesses, the car stopped and a man got out and fired three shots.
Fisher, 40, was shot in front of her teen daughter and boyfriend. She also had a teenage son, and the siblings are now living with other family members.
Washington was never brought into the courtroom from a holding cell. He is being held in Mobile County Metro Jail with no bail.
Outside of court, Fisher's mother, Carol Fisher, said the family is seeking counseling and taking it "one day at a time."
"Sometimes I write in my journal, 'I made it one more day,'" Fisher said.
"We believe in the District Attorney's Office... we're trusting them to do the best job to bring justice in this case," she said.
In court, a friend of Washington was wearing a shirt with a picture of Washington being arrested and the words "Free Tray Not Guilty." Outside of court, the friend, who would only identify himself as Isaiah, said Washington is not the person that has been described by the news media.
Powell said the defense declined to have a hearing today because it would have been a repeat of the details that have already been released by Mobile police.
Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Wright said there is still an investigation as to whether Washington was inside the car or standing on the pavement when he shot Fisher.
If he fired from inside the car, the charge against him could be upgraded to capital murder, Wright said. Capital murder is punishable by life in prison without parole or the death penalty.
Powell, though, said the investigation clearly indicates that the shooter was standing outside the car.
He said Washington maintains his innocence.
