David Carr Defends Slain Journalists Claim
Israeli accounts challenged the Times columnist's criticism of Israel for strikes that killed two men he described as journalists.
New York Times media reporter David Carr defended his Monday column accusing Israel of killing journalists in Gaza on Monday, after Israeli officials and their allies accused him of conflating Hamas operatives and reporters.
"The three men who died in missile strikes in cars on Nov. 20 were identified by Reuters, AP, AFP, and Washington Post and many other news outlets as journalists," Carr told BuzzFeed in an email. "The Committee to Protect Journalists, which I treat as a reliable, primary source in these matters, identified them as journalists. (as did Reporters without Borders.)"
"I ran my column by reporters and editors at our shop familiar with current events in the region before I printed it," Carr said. "And I don't believe that an ID made by the IDF is dispostive or obviates what the others said. Doesn't mean that I could not have gotten it wrong, only that the evidence so far suggests that they were journalists, however partisan."
Carr's story on Monday, "Using War as Cover to Target Journalists," zeroed in on three men recently killed during the conflict in Gaza: Mohamed Abu Aisha, Hussam Salama, and Mahmoud al-Kumi. Two of the men were cameramen for Al-Aqsa TV, which Carr writes is "run by Hamas and whose reporting frequently reflects that affiliation." The third, Aisha, was the director of Al-Quds Educational Radio.
Tablet ran a story on Monday contesting the idea that the men were really journalists, citing an Israeli Defense Forces Blog claim that one of the deceased, Muhammad Shamalah, was "commander of Hamas forces in the southern Strip and head of the Hamas militant training programs" riding in a truck marked "TV." The Tablet story also cites another pro-Israel blog, Elder of Ziyon, which calls Aisha a "uniform-wearing member of Islamic Jihad" and includes a picture of him in uniform.

21 days to DISCONNECT
I am a techno junkie.
It's hard not to be smitten with the ability to check social media, read and reply to e-mails, and check bank accounts on your phone, but my fiance, Greg, called me out on it while we watched a DVR episode of "Judge Judy" (my not-so-secret guilty pleasure). I try to ignore my phone, but after three buzzes, I set my cup of tea aside and become engulfed in three e-mail replies.
"Are they really that important that you must reply tonight?" he asked.
It was then I realized that while my mouth was saying "yes," the messages weren't necessary. It could have easily waited until morning. After his comment, I decided to spend less time on the phone when I'm around other people, especially loved ones.
They say it takes 21 days to break a habit. For me? It took three tries ... and 31 days.
The first time, I made it to day two and failed.
Then I made it to day 8 and failed.
On my third attempt, I made it to day 21. During those 31 days, I learned that all of this is tougher than it seems for us addicts.
What made me fail? I am a Realtor and on day 2, I had to answer a client call during dinner. I heard another ding, and I was hooked. Phone: 1, Melanie: 0.
On day 8, sitting on the couch, after dinner with Greg and our two dogs (Bailey and Marino), I started with a few innocent text messages about wedding planning, and before I knew it I had the tablet and my phone going and I was ignoring my fiance.
Phone: 2, Melanie: 0.
I always justified it by thinking, "Sure, they're talking, but I'm still paying attention to what they're saying ... even though I'm replying to this e-mail." But an attorney friend of mine shared a story of a client he had who was always texting when they met. He equated it to drafting a letter to someone in mid-conversation with someone else.
I'm not saying technology doesn't have its perks -- the Google calendar is a necessity. I love social media. I adore the free courses, continuing education and articles that allow me to keep learning. I am impressed by apps for creating and executing marketing ideas, but we have to have limits. Here's what I learned and it's so simple, even an addict like me can do it.
1) Tech-free time: Turn your phone off during dinner.
2) Separation Anxiety: Put your phone away during family time.
3) Make the call: a 20-minute string of texts can often be resolved in a quick phone conversation.
4) Status updates: I realized that people might not care if I am at Wegmans deciding between tilapia and salmon.
Finally, take time to focus on the in-person conversations. It's polite and much more important than answering an e-mail or starting a flurry of text messages. Those 21 days (er, um, 31 days) were tough, but I am definitely glad I made it through, and I'm sure you will be, too. Remember, when you're struggling, picture that image of someone drafting a letter right in front of you, while you're talking. It changes the perspective a bit. Good luck, and don't forget, if you need a few attempts, 31 days can also create a habit -- a good habit.

A Rutgers University graduate student is having a terrible week, and now the whole world seems to know about it. When the student's laptop was stolen on campus last Friday, he filed a police report and apparently printed leaflets begging for help, even offering the thief up to $1,000 for the safe return of the five years' worth of data stored on the device he needs to defend his graduate thesis.
David Green normally only accessed his company's online bank account from his trusty Maclaptop. Then one day this April while he was home sick, Green found himself needing to authorize a transfer of money out of his firm's account. Trouble was, he'd left his Mac at work. So he decided to log in to the company's bank account using his wife's Windows PC. Unfortunately for Green, that PC was the same computer his kids used to browse the Web, chat, and play games online. It was also the same computer that organized thieves had already compromised with a password-stealing Trojan horse program.
Basic security applies to anyone using a computer.

Brought to you by http://www.MyBinding.com, this video gives introduces the Akiles line of CoilMac coil binding machines. Each of the four machines and their Plus versions offer solid construction, a one-year warranty, and a quality punch and bind mechanism. For more details and product specifications on individual machines, please visit: http://www.mybinding.com/.sc/ms/cat/Binding%20Equipment--Akiles%20Binding%20Machines Take a look and if you have any questions feel free to give us a call toll free at 1-800-944-4573. We have a huge selection of binding machines, supplies, and more from Akiles. You can also find us online on Twitter, Facebook, and our blog. Twitter - http://twitter.com/mybinding Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/MyBinding Blog - http://www.mybindingblog.com Here is the audio transcript for this video: Welcome to MyBinding video. This video compares the different models of the CoilMac coil binding systems by Akiles. This is the CoilMac M 41, or M, and its Plus version. This is the CoilMac ER. This is the CoilMac ECI. And finally, the CoilMac EPI, the top of the line. Beginning with the base model, let's look at the features that are on every single CoilMac machine. Solid, all-metal construction with a one-year warranty. A punching system as well as a binding system. This is a side margin control knob, so that all punches are consistent throughout your projects. A punch margin control knob provides correct punch margin depth for each coil size. A comfortable lever arm for punching up to 17 sheets of 20lb paper per lift. And a waste container for the punched holes. The CoilMac M comes with an inserting table. You build it and put it on, and it expedites the inserting of the coil, reducing the costs and binding time. The ER model has all these same features plus an electronic inserter. Used with the hand or foot pedal, this roller makes the final step of inserting the coil much easier. And the ER has the same punch capacity at 17 sheets. The ECI model improves the roller significantly and places it lower down. It's much longer and the motor itself is stronger; and maintaining the punch capacity of 17 sheets. And with all this, the EPI model takes it one step further. The punch, as well as the inserter, are both electronic, operated by the same pedal, and toggled back and forth between with one switch. And the punch capacity is increased to 20 sheets of 20lb paper per lift. There it is. The four models of the CoilMac line by Akiles. Be sure the check out our videos that compare the regular models with their plus versions. For other demos, reviews, and how to's on this product and many more, check out MyBinding.com.

The Official Pub/Bar/Club Recommendation Thread
|Posted on
|Take our short survey, £100 of Amazon vouchers to be won!
A village don't:
Don't check out the pub by the tesco express which a buncha village folks did and all came back saying it was ****e.. So just a warning for any future freshers.
oooh timmaah that place is pure nasty, stay away from the five ways pub, and the pub in bowthorpe, which you'd be unlucky to stumble across anyways...
And don't whatever you do go to the one on St Mildreds Rd either, (End of Wilberforce Road, the road that runs next to the Village), there were several incidents up their last year involving the locals + plenty of police
Gotta be mercy, squares and the Wetherspoons always as deals on.They do monday club in my yarmouth wetherspoons,does anyone know if they do in Norwich?
Mercy on a thursday for sure! FREE entry before half 11 with your campus card!
Optic on a Monday - though depened on the type of music your into.
LCR on a Tuesday and Saturday!
Mustard Lounge is definately a must. Like a pub but with really loud, good music. Lovely bar staff who somehow become your friends and always remember what you drink. They also have brilliant cocktails and loads of drinks offers.
The Belle Vue is a MUST!
Great food, cheap food! Reasonable bar prices and gorgeous bar maids. Oh, and they have sky and setanta sports. Honestly, what more do you need in a pub?
It's off Earlham road near the mitre
why didnt anyone mention Optic or Mustard? I think they are pretty cool, get cheap drink and cooool music in Mustard!
honestly Mercy is ****...
Anyone know of nights playing EBM/Industrial music? Some searching revealed The Waterfront sometimes does nights like this, anyone been?
Also interested in psytrance nights.
Having only been in Norwich since January I've found its if anything harder to find a bad pub in Norwich. Not seen any love for the Garden House yet though, which is particularly awesome over the summer with their many BBQ's and bloody huge beer garden.
Having moved from Newcastle where we had a nice dedicated rock bar, I'm yet to find anything of its like in Norwich. Is there a pub the 'alternative' (for desperate want of a better term) types tend to congregate?
Deviant soc meets at the union bar thursday nights, other than that... not really anywhere specific sorry. A lot of my alt friends hang out at the Mischief but I have never been.
I also miss having a dedicated alt bar
There is a new place (now don't shoot me down because I haven't been in there so whatever you do don't count this as a recommendation) on Prince of Wales road downstairs in Spencers called Hades Bar. I think they are touting that place as an alt bar.
Mischief is alright too. I wouldn't exactly call it an alt bar though - they show far too much footy for that. It does however have three pool tables a dart board and all sorts of other stuff going on.
A friend of mine spent the night in Hades once, dancing in a cage, so I'm not sure if you'd count that as a recommendation either
Vodka revs -> Nowhere Bar -> Havanas. Night = Done.
Rehab! It does the cheapest drinks in the city I think, and is on Prince of Wales Road nearly opposite Mercy. Is a big purple coloured building.
99p glasses of wine and £1.99 double spirit and mixer I think
The Golden Star pub (opposite Mary Chaplain accomodation) is amazing, it doesn't look like much from outside, but the staff are friendly and the food (£7 a meal)Tuesday - Saturday is to *die* for!
hey... i got a question.. is there a calm pub on campus or in Norwich? i mean not a nightclub nd partying stuff...
also.. is there any which give non-alcoholic drinks?
wud luv to get an answer
Anyone know the craic with the post grad bar? Is it strictly for post grads or is it for anyone over 21?
(Original post by abuelzouz)

As for quiet, non party pubs. Norwich has plenty of nice, quiet pubs. I'd just recommend that you stay away from Prince of Wales Road and Riverside if this isn't your thing. Try more traditional pubs than newer modern bars for a more relaxed atmosphere. I like the Rumsey Wells just at the bottom of Duke Street (near Mary Chapman Court) for a quiet Saturday afternoon drink - they do great food in there too.
The grad bar is probably the quietest on campus but we also have coffee shops if they are more your style.

(blended with 11% merlot, 10% cabernet franc, 2% syrah and 1% each malbec and petit verdot): Uncorked and poured immediately: Bright red-ruby. Pure but reticent nose hints at currant, cedar, flowers and fresh herbs. Supple, silky and rather easygoing, with fruit-driven flavors of redcurrant and cherry. Finishes with broad, dusty tannins. From another bottle decanted three hours before my tasting: Similar color. Chocolate and wild herbs on the nose. Deeper and longer than the first sample, with a more sophisticated quality to the tannins.

About Hobo Bear Hostel
Hobo Bear found its perfect spot in a typical downtown street dating from the beginning of the last century, named after the renaissance painter Medulic. Like renaissance was all about the 'Man', Hobo Bear is all about its guests, whether they are travelers, backpackers, explorers, modern day hobos, adventurers or simply people looking for some fun.
In our neighborhood you can find everything a traveler might need - pharmacies, ATMs and exchanges, a post office, supermarkets, an open market, as well as places to eat for everyone's taste.
Not only the location was carefully chosen to fit the travelers' needs - Hobo Bear is 'traveler-tailored' from the inside as well. In an authentic 100-year old building we created a unique place with a modern soul where you start feeling 'at home' the moment you come through the door. We like to say it is big enough to gather a party team, yet small enough to offer cozy, warm and friendly atmosphere.
Accommodation Information
We accommodate our guests in comfortable dorms and private rooms, waiting for you to fill your batteries between your roaming adventures and parties. In our spotlessly clean bathrooms you can take a hot shower 24 hours a day and in our fully equipped modern kitchen you can sit down and talk to your new buddies with your mouth full of warm cooked food.
One place that really gives Hobo Bear its special character and atmosphere is our unique, cozy common room - with original brick walls and arches it resembles an old wine cellar or a castle, with a big difference in temperature, of course :-) It is the heart of our hostel - its a living room, lounge, a place to relax, listen to music, read a book or write one, watch a film, surf the free Internet, hang out, meet people, share a beer with your new friends, contemplate over a cup of tea, read you future from a coffee mug, fall in love, a perfect place to kick-start your night of club and bar hopping ...you choose what's it going to be for you...
Hobo Bear is owned and managed by experienced travelers, who designed it to provide you the best stay and a memorable experience in one of the liveliest cities of Central Europe.

On the field, there is very little negative to say about the New York Cosmos. They won last year's Fall Championship season, became the Soccer Bowl champions, finished second in the Spring season and took local bragging rights over Major League Soccer's New York Red Bulls in a 3-0 thrashing at Shuart Stadium.
Off the field, the story has been less rosy.
Last Spring's attendance woes and U.S. Open scheduling issues served to show the limitations of Hofstra University as a home field. Yes, there may be historical roots in the college campus for the club, but little else that helps entice fans to continue going back.
It begs the question; what is going on with the Belmont Stadium proposal?
"I wish I could say more than 'nothing to report,' but it is literally true," New York Cosmos Chief Operating Officer Erik Stover tells EOS. "We are just waiting on the decision from [Empire State Development]."
The Cosmos are nearing the two year anniversary of their "Elmont Crossing" proposal; a large scale, multi-facility construction deal that would feature a new, 25k seat stadium at the heart of a redevelopment project in the economically challenged Elmont district. The team sought this route towards a stadium in order to avoid the bureaucratic mess associated with acquiring private or federal land and imposing one's self into a community. Here, it was the State that invited proposers to bid, and the Cosmos were more than happy to give it a shot.
As it turns out, there is no avoiding red tape when it comes to large scale construction projects. Instead of suffering delays on one end, their proposal has landed New York in a waiting game, at the mercy of Albany's political devices. Worse still? It is an election year for the State governorship, making such large scale projects a political football.
In that waiting game, the team has quietly explored other land opportunities just in case their Plan A options do not pan out.
"We have met with people in the five boroughs and outside of it," Stover reveals. "It would be hard to put anything in any order of what would be a Plan B. There is a Plan A and other talk about other business.
"Where we would end up if Belmont didn't happen, I couldn't speculate."
That other business includes infrastructure of a different type.
"We have talked to other locations all the time, different municipalities, because we have other business going on, not the least being a new training facility," Stover reveals.
Currently, the club trains on a parcel of land at the Mitchel Athletic Complex. The Cosmos spent nearly half a million dollars to renovate the former Field Six area (along with upgrades to the complex's main offices) to suit their operations.
One option for a new training ground could be expanding their footprint in the complex, but that isn't what the Cosmos have in mind.
"Mitchell is government property and we have a good lease and have made a good deal with the parks department here," Stover explains. "It is certainly a legacy project for the Mitchell Athletic Complex. Whenever we leave, whenever we do leave, they will have improved facilities at literally no cost to tax payers.
"Is there a possibility we could expand and stay there longer? Yes, but it would require a lot of government intervention and we are not ready to have those conversations right now."
Instead, the team hopes to acquire their own piece of land for development. As the lack of a proper stadium naturally limits the Cosmos' first team ambitions, so does the lack of a proper training ground — a fact Stover acknowledges. After all, Stover has first hand knowledge of how important a top-rate training facility can be. He was there to witness the New York Red Bulls as they trained on an uneven pitch in the hills of Montclair University. Their world-class training center in Hanover has exponentially helped the MLS club grow both on an off the field.
Like their first tier rivals, acquiring an expansive property would allow the team to explore new areas of growth, and the Cosmos are busy trying to make that happen.
"If we are going to get to the level we want this club to get to, we need to have a state of the art training complex with multiple fields, an academy program with ages from u-8 to a u-23, a reserve team," Stover said. "You need space and facilities for that."
While both the hunt for property to house a stadium and training center continues, the club has been busy formulating plans for the aforementioned Academy program.
"We were very close to a few things for 2014 and we thought it was best to table it for a year," Stover admits. "I am not sure what form it will start on 2015, but I fully expect a Cosmos Academy in 2015."
Academy systems are one area in which professional soccer in the United States has lagged. Programs like Barcelona's La Masia have proven how effective an academy can be when properly implemented, setting the bar for clubs worldwide hoping to imitate that success. Over recent years, MLS teams have worked through their structure to implement youth systems with that kind of output in mind.
Lucky for the Cosmos, they have the man who offered the American blueprint on building youth academies on their payroll. Head coach Giovanni Savarese was the lead person and pioneer in the creation of the now flourishing Red Bull Academy, establishing a model that many MLS teams have followed to this day.
Clearly, the ability to establish a first team pipeline through a grassroots initiative is what any team hopes to achieve. While a date is in place for its creation, how the program begins is still up in the air.
"There are theories around all if it," he explains. "One thing I know for sure is we can't start right out the box with six teams and a u-23 team and think you can be successful. We have to start small with a couple of age groups and build off that success.
"I am not sure where we will start because there are compelling arguments for an array of solutions. Those are the discussions we are having now."
15 Comments on "Cosmos pursue proper training facility, Academy program as stadium proposal lags"
Hmm… I feel like there's something missing in this article when discussing the Cosmos starting an academy… some kind of historical context and a lawsuit… hmm…
That lawsuit was taken care of i believe & those clubs have aligned themselves with #NYCFC (PAY2PLAY) Hopefully they take every kid & not just the Soccer MOM KID(you know the Privileged ones) into the academy.
I know it was settled, just curious as to why Dave chose not to mention it. Sometimes (and I know you're a Cosmos fan), the Cosmos articles on this site come off a little too much as PR pieces.
I don't really think it has anything to do with this regime, some stuff i would say is to get the juices flowing but the info that comes out of here is pretty good.
The Training facility is important, The SSS is Hugely important, but what i love the most is the start of a Cosmos academy in 2015 that really makes me happy & i am glad they are finally moving forward with it. Build the foundation & off we go ! Good info Dave, looking forward to part 2.
Hear, hear. Part of the problem is that (1) politics at any level here in NY, especially during an election year, and (2) finding the space with minimal NIMBYism.
I do hope they get an academy up soon. I've got a nephew who loves soccer and has WAY too much energy for this old man and little league to contain.
hey Dave good job like always why it's so hard to get a stadium in nyc I really believe that would fix the attendance problem but I'm afraid it's not going to happens within the city limits plan b doesn't sound very exciting if indeed plan b does exist..waited very long time for the team to hit the field I guess I can wait for the stadium in nyc as well …
No way will there be a stadium within the city limits. It's impossible to do it, what with the land and money interests, the political game of cards on the local and state levels, whichever opposing group that will make a ton of noise to scare off support (see Flushing Meadows)…and of course, space. Belmont is their best bet, and it would be a slam dunk if it weren't an election year and our crappy politicians.
its weird that the cosmos want to build a 25k seat stadium when they can't even draw 8k to their games?
how many where going to GS to see the Metro/Bulls before they got 25k RB Arena ?
[…] the Spring season behind them, and the U.S. Open Cup a memory, the Cosmos are looking ahead. As we reported yesterday, work is already underway in forming an Academy system and the team is actively seeking land for a […]

Snowstorm hits Rockies, heads to Midwest
DENVER -- A storm that has dumped more than a foot of snow in the Rocky Mountains could cause headaches for travelers as it tracks into the Midwest and Great Lakes region.
Drivers in Iowa and Nebraska were warned to be careful or stop driving altogether starting Wednesday evening as the first major winter storm of the season heads into the central Plains from the Rockies. Strong winds are expected to create blizzard conditions.
Light snow is also expected at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport today, and strong winds could make visibility poor. That, combined with low clouds, could cause delays at the nation's second-busiest airport, National Weather Service forecaster Jamie Enderlen said.
The storm is also expected to hit Wisconsin and Michigan, where up to a foot of snow was forecast in the north by Friday.

After getting swamped with e-mails and Facebook messages raising concerns about her plan to allow advertising at Philadelphia schools, City Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown has hit the "pause" button."
Last week, at the final Council meeting before the winter break, Brown did not call for a vote on her bill, which would make the necessary zoning changes to allow ads on school property.
Brown said she was willing "to slow-walk" her proposal once Council returns Jan. 23, but said she was no less committed to seeing the bill through.
"What we know is that public funding is no longer adequately funding public education," she said Monday. "I'm not prepared to sit and do nothing, because you get criticized for that as well."

I love the quilt-as-you-go process. It is a fun and easy way to play with colour, textures, and patterns. I used fabric from my stash, which brought many memories to the surface. Each fabric holds a memory of what I made, who I made it for, and other life events around the time it was added to my stash. This is truly a love filled tote.
It's beautiful! You did an amazing job!
Thank you, Tara! This project was so much fun!
Great job!
Thank you! This stitching project was so much fun I plan to use the technique in other projects too.

Gethsemane Lutheran ChurchIn Christ - In the City
Gethsemane Lutheran ChurchIn Christ - In the City
Gethsemane Lutheran ChurchIn Christ - In the City
There is a place for you here.A note from our Pastor, Joanne Engquist
I'm glad you're here and hope to meet you in person. Since 1885, Gethsemane has welcomed people for worship, community time, service, and learning. All these years later, we remain a downtown church committed to connecting to our neighborhood.
We are a progressive, GLBTQ-affirming congregation that welcomes all: people who have been to church (any church) their whole lives, as well as those who never have been or have been away for a while; people filled with doubts or questions and those whose faith and hope run deep; people longing to find a community of belonging and anyone who may simply be "passing by"... This is a place open to you wherever you are in your spiritual journey.
At Gethsemane, our worship is liturgical. That means we follow ancient patterns that gather us to reflect on God's Word, share a meal, and send us in service of our neighbors' needs. Our worship is also contextual. We listen to current voices that help us to know the needs of local and global communities, and invite us to engage more deeply with our whole lives.
In addition to our Sunday 10am worship service, a small group gathers in the chapel on Wednesdays at 12:15pm for a quiet, reflective communion service. We also are welcomed to share "dinner church" with our mission start partner, The Garden. Dinner Church offers a simple meal, shared conversation, song, prayer, and a sense of belonging.
There are other times to connect, too – in groups for learning, service, and having fun. I look forward to meeting you soon at a worship service or some other gathering. Or drop me a line to arrange a time to grab a coffee and chat.
Together on the journey,
Our Beliefs
A living, daring confidence in God's grace.
When Lutherans talk about faith, we are talking about the relationship God's Holy Spirit creates with us. It's a relationship where God's promise of steadfast love and mercy in Jesus opens us to a life of bold trust in God and joyful, generous service to everyone we know and meet in daily life.
Martin Luther was exuberant when he described the freedom of "a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that believers would stake their lives on it a thousand times." He once wrote, "Oh, it is a living, busy, active, mighty thing, this faith. It is impossible for it not to be doing good things unceasingly."
Faith does not close our minds to the world or our hearts to others. And we're always in a process of discovering, tending, unfolding, and nurturing what that faith looks like in our lives. To help us, we listen for the living word in Scripture. We listen to the witness of others and we watch for ways God is active in the world around us.
Faith is open and dynamic -- engaging others in conversation, seeking truths, asking questions. Faith seeks understanding and speaks love in word and action.
Faith urges us to a full life, liberated for a living, daring confidence in God's grace.
Sundays, 10am
Each Sunday we gather for a meal of thanksgiving called Eucharist. During an hour or so together, we share word, song, and prayer to remind each other of God's love for us and all the world. We listen to each other, sharing concerns and hopes. We eat and drink to remember Jesus who shows us God's love on the way, at the table, and to the end. Following worship, we usually share stories over some coffee and snacks in the community room.
Listen and subscribe to our weekly reflections (homilies) by clicking here.
On Sunday mornings until 1:30pm, we provide free parking in any unreserved space in the Aspira Public garage (enter from the alley between Stewart and Howell).
Wednesdays, 12:15pm
1st and 3rd weeks each month
What we call "noon service" is a gathering of people for a contemplative, quiet time of worship. We share silence and scripture, prayers and communion. The service lasts about 30 minutes so that people could possibly be present during their work lunch break.
Enter through the garden gates on Ninth Avenue. The chapel is open from 12:00pm for personal meditation.
Sunday Morning Forum
9:00-9:45am in the community room
After Labor Day, the weekly morning forum resumes with opportunities to learn together in a relaxed atmosphere.
Sunday Noon Forum
June 12th & July 17th
We gather to lunch and learn! Our topic is gender identity and expression with the goal of increasing participants' awareness and understanding about the identities and issues facing transgender and non-binary people. Bring your questions for a respectful, engaging time together. RSVP so that we have enough food for all.
Saturday mornings in the Hope Center
Weekly, the lower level of Gethsemane is opened to share a meal and conversation with those who are hungry. Groups of up to four people volunteer weekly to do food prep, have conversation with volunteers and attendees, and to clean-up. Email SoMo (Soup & Movies) for information.
Other opportunities for direct service with others are announced throughout the year.
Thursday evenings, Sunday mornings, & Special events
During the summer months, we suspend regular choir rehearsals and work up a variety of opportunities for smaller ensembles, soloists (vocal and instrumental), etc. to share music in worship. Contact Cantor Dr. John Paulson to volunteer or to learn more about how you might share your musical gifts in the congregation.
In the fall, opportunities to participate in our music program expand, including singing in the choir, playing/singing in the Ukulele group, and playing handbells.
Two summer outdoor picnics are scheduled this year! Meat and veggie burgers and/or hot dogs will be provided, along with condiments, buns, plates/napkins/cups. Bring some food and drink to share. Chairs/blankets to sit on are a good idea, too. We'll start about 5pm; come when you're able. See calendar for more details.
Wednesday, June 15th at Seward Park
Thursday, July 14th at Woodland Park
Open Table
We have a bunch of times scheduled to gather for conversation with each other, including our pastors. See calendar for details, but know that every location is child-friendly (and all but MOD Pizza is pup-friendly, too). Someone will be present at least from 5-7pm; drop by as you have time and inclination.

More than one fatal overdose occurs in WA every day. More Washingtonians die every year from overdoses than from car crashes. Most drug overdoses involve a prescription medication used with other drugs or alcohol. Most of these deaths can be prevented with fast medical help.
Under the Washington state 911 Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Law, immunity does not extend to outstanding warrants, probation or parole violations, drug manufacture or delivery, controlled substances homicide, or crimes other than drug possession.
Q. Does the law apply if the person dies from the overdose?
A. As long as you seek medical help in good faith, you still receive
immunity from charges that you were in possession of drugs. However,
if you are the person who gave the victim the drugs that caused the
overdose, you can be charged with controlled substances homicide.
In that case, if you are charged and found guilty, the fact that you
sought medical help can be used by the judge as a basis for giving you
a sentence that is shorter than the standard range that would otherwise
Q. The 911 law refers to "if you seek medical help" – does that apply only to calling 911, or will immunity apply if I take the overdose victim to an Emergency Room?
A. The immunity applies to any good faith effort to seek medical help, whether that is calling 911, taking the overdose victim to an Emergency Room, or running to get your neighbor who is a doctor. Remember, though, that the key to saving a life from overdose is to get professional medical help the fastest way possible.
Q. Does this apply to substances that are "controlled" specifically for youth, such as alcohol? i.e., will a minor be cited for possession if they call 911 due to a likely alcohol overdose at a party?
A. The 911 Good Samaritan law did not originally apply to minors in possession of alcohol, however it was amended in May 2013 via House Bill 1404 to extend immunity from possession charges to those seeking medical assistance for someone experiencing alcohol poisoning, and to the victims of alcohol poisoning themselves.
In other words, even if you are under the age of 21, you will not be charged with possession of alcohol as a minor if you call 911 to help someone suffering from alcohol poisoning or if you are suffering from alcohol poisoning yourself.
Many colleges and universities also have medical amnesty policies in place regarding underage drinking.

Posted on 11/29/2007 4:36:06 PM PST by Sub-Driver
Murtha finds military progress in trip to Iraq Warns that Iraqis must do more for their own security Thursday, November 29, 2007 By Jerome L. Sherman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
WASHINGTON - U.S. Rep. John Murtha today said he saw signs of military progress during a brief trip to Iraq last week, but he warned that Iraqis need to play a larger role in providing their own security and the Bush administration still must develop an exit strategy.
"I think the 'surge' is working," the Democrat said in a videoconference from his Johnstown office, describing the president's decision to commit more than 20,000 additional combat troops this year. But the Iraqis "have got to take care of themselves."
Violence has dropped significantly in recent months, but Mr. Murtha said he was most encouraged by changes in the once-volatile Anbar province, where locals have started working closely with U.S. forces to isolate insurgents linked to Al Qaeda.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Let the layoffs begin ... As Newt found out, that when it gets tough.
Thanks for posting. It gives me a perfect chance to say that I could not care less what that ignorant, ugly, traitorous, black-hearted excuse for a feeble-minded senator has to say. I can't believe he's alive and Henry Hyde is gone.
[. . .(Murtha said) the central government in Baghdad is "dysfunctional."]
Yeah, Johnny, just think of how great it'd be if we hadn't lost the war.
Guess who is afraid of a law suit?
Murtha offered a compromise on the funding today. Finally feeling the heat. Not nearly enough and too late.
Fry baby fry.
Who gives a rat's ass what you think you pork bellied fat treasonous bastard! Too bad you sucked up taxpayers' money for your utterly useless opinion!
This scumbag is not a Senator, he/she/it is a Rep.
Hey Murtha..tell you're bud Harry ..
Oh by the way, fund the war and stfu.
As they said over at HotAir.com, here's steaming pot of reality for your face Mr Murtha.
(Scary but not dirty video)
>> So has he apologized yet.....
The sooner the Dems in Congress approve funding for the troops, the sooner we can wrap this battle up, John!
Now is not the time to be timid, John!
The turkey is two years too late to start supporting our military. He's changed his mind only because he was forced to by the heat he's received from his cold blooded murder comment.
Traitor Murtha speaks...so what, his words mean nothing anymore, if they ever did.
He must have been visiting his friends in al Qaeda...
john murtha,harry reid,nancy pelosi,ted kennedy,hillary clinton,dick durbin.
Murtha is a cold blooded Traitor.
Thank you for the correction. ;-D
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Murtha is a miserable excuse for whatever he is, or pretends to be.
I feel sorry for the soldiers who had to be even near this POS. I am surprised one of them didn't walk right up to him and deck him.
Agreed, Gator113!! He can't redeem himself now.
To be added to the Murtha Watch ping list please notify myself or RedRover.
LOL! Thanks, Red. This is worth a double ping.
Not strong enough for this anti-American low life.
Murtha is worse than a broke clock.
Attention people of Pennsylvania voting in Murtha's district:
For God's sake, do the right thing and retire this guy.
Good grief!
If he "thinks" the surge is working, we must be succeeding beyond our wildest dreams!
I've always thought that graphic was perfect, potlatch!
Synonymous with Bush's strategy.
Military progress in Iraq and playing a larger role in a strategy of democratic exit from Washington in '08.
Thanks again DC, it certainly depicts Murtha!!
Well, if anyone should be able to recognize a dysfunctional government, it would be a member of Congress.
So did Murtha add..."and I was utterly wrong about everything I had said previously"?
Did I just see a pig fly?
OK, who promised Lardass lots of government pork via Iraqi projects?
Here in PA he can seemingly do no wrong, at least if we believe the local news, and many do. I think he finally did 'wise up' and realize good is happening over there, despite his sky is falling comments which turned many locals against (or at least 'confirmed' it's supposed failure) the efforts in Iraq. He sees the good and doesn't want to be left out. Typical.
Agreed. Idiot.
It's a trick...part of the dumRATS bag of dirty tricks !...They know they lost the issue of ' the war is going badly in Iraq' so now they have to change the focus to ' ...but Iraq is still not meeting it's goals we set' !*
That will be the 'RATS arguing point once the coronation is over and we hope they have to eat their words...In fact it is already happening- there has been a sea change in how the country is operating and the economy there is beginning to grow..The Pubs need to push that issue hard !..Come on Pubs in DC, get off your backs already !
* (note: not an original idea..maybe Krauthammer's ?)...
I would say Iraq is now a success.
IMO, this is the beginning of an orchestrated strategy to effectively remove Iraq as a "critical" issue in the upcoming '08 election. Once the primaries are over, the democrat nominee will want to come across as "supportive of the military", especially in light of the trend toward less violence due to the successful "surge" strategy.
They will then be free to focus on their "bread and butter" domestic issues of the past 40 years.
Great. Now where could we send him where he could find some class and grace?

- - My thoughts on Strikeforce's card last night...*spoilers* (http://www.mmaforum.com/general-mma-discussion/68878-my-thoughts-strikeforces-card-last-night-spoilers.html)
My thoughts on Strikeforce's card last night...*spoilers*
I was blown away.
It was, in my opinion, the best fight card I have ever seen.
The MMA showcase of the Lindland fight (Souza's striking is lightning, I'm excited to watch him)...the fight of the year in Melendez/Thompson...and my boy Cung Le putting on a clinic then getting KTFO....
I don't know what it was, I guess just the fact it was:
-In HD
-Barely any commercials
IF it was the UFC on Spike, you would have seen the next event spammed, their vid game spammed, and the same shitty commercials stuffed down your throat until you felt like vommitting.
That Quadros guy needs to not be on camera, but I really like where Strikeforce is going, I LOVE their fighters, and I can't wait to watch more of them.
It wasn't the best card I'd ever seen, but it was definately top quality for a free event. The Thompson/Melendez fight made my night.
Possibly the best card OTY.
Can't wait for their next card!
...I think it was Strikeforce's best card this year. Now with Hendo & Lashley onboard 2010, Strikeforce will be even better...
War Strikeforce
Game Mention
Yeah I noticed that there weren't any commercials for the EASports MMA game at all. They mentioned it but not very much.
The whole event from beginning to end was just amazing. For once, every fight was better than the one before it.
Props to Scott Smith, never give up. :thumbsup:
Jacare looked phenomonal. Is he that good or has Linland just faded that much, or both?
I love the lightweight division and Gil and the Punk showcased why. I enjoy the hell out of some Strikeforce, but who wouldn't want to see both of these guys sign with the UFC? You could make an argument that either of the two would be in the top 5 of the division, and just imagine all the badass matchups.
King Mo... is he ready for the gigantic step-up in competition and face Mousasi?
Lastly, watching Cung Le's standup is so entertaining. It's refreshing to see brilliant strikers like Anderson Silva and Le. It gives us a glance at what the future of striking in MMA holds for us, but Scott Smith... again?!
This is the kind of card that would have been great to have been shown on CBS. Sure, it doesn't have the one HUGE main event fight, but it was highly entertaining, and would have helped gain fighter recognition to build contenders under the Strikeforce brand.
Jacare was indeed phenomenal! I've never seen his fights before and was completely blown away.
Hope to see him vs Shield for the belt sooner then later. This will be an interesting matchup. Two world class grapplers but I think Jacare has better and more powerful standup. Shields probably has the edge in wrestling thought I predict Jacare Souza will hold the belt in the end!

In general I don't mind being torn a new rectum on the internets once in awhile. I figure that just comes with the territory. We're all infamous for two things, having opinions and having assholes!
Anyway, I decided to run a search on myself and came upon this little "den of equity" called "Bo News". Apparently I'm a bit of a laughing stock over there! My blogs about "meandering political incorrectness" and addressing the female gamer consciousness collective have been picked apart by the black,white, and green forum Gestapo!
I don't know who I'm sadder for. Myself , an unpaid blogger who writes stuff just to socialize and pass time or the angst ridden forum beatniks who have devoted their cult to discussing and ridiculing my various flawed works! (Twisted as it is I'm kinda flattered!)
Perhaps the thing that's most "peculiar" is none of these peeps took their colorful views to me directly. Instead of challenging me to my face they gathered in their dark little corner and proceeded to make fun of me like the "cool kids" on the playground! Alas dear readers, apparently I'm not allowed at the monkey bars or the giant tire fortress! (dramatic sigh) It's as if I'm re-living 5th grade all over again!
But seriously Bo News forums,c'mon! I expected "more". Of all the idiot politicians and idiot celebrities you could have went after you chose me, a mere tuna among the sharks! You might as well single out the special needs kid on the short-bus or the Vietnam veteran who got his legs blown off! For shame!
Just wanted you suckas to know I'm watching you watch me! The gig is up, rubber ducks!
Ahem! Report to the principal's office!

Dude!Posted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by Belnazar
I dont know about you but I think its kind of awesome! Its funny, that some people think your worth the time to troll like this. When I had to google myself for a job course (dont ask) there wasnt much out there about me, bit of a non-event really. Still, I wouldn't feel bad or take it to heart, essentially it should be the opinions of your fellow 1up friends you should care more about... If you should care about anyones at all!
For my part, all I will say is: Good work man, your blogs are always interesting.
JeremyPosted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by BrokenH
Someone once told me if you're popular enough to be trolled en masse you are popular enough to go places. lol. If I look at it from that perspective it's kind of like a rite of passage.
However, I think it more has to do with me writing a lot. The more of ourselves we put out there the more certain people try to pick us apart.
I always found "destroyers in training" to be sad people. Imagine a whole life devoted to feeling better by laughing at the imperfections and misfortunes of others. How bad does one's own life have to be for them to get off on that sort of thing? Either they must live in complete squalor or they're still going through their "invincible super-man" phase under the assumption they're above ridicule and karmatic consequences.
Kinda pathetic they have a "club house" devoted to making fun of nobodies like me,though. I thought I needed more of a life!
Badge of HonourPosted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by stratu23
My immediate reaction is that, no doubt at all, this is a badge of honour you must wear with pride.
It's part creepy, part disturbing in a twisted group cyberstalker way, but ultimately you come out of it looking like the rightful emperor of the "giant tire fortress".
Keep up the good work!
Wow Ben!Posted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by homelessrook

BenPosted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by whats_a_cow
This is amazing! This is a good thing! People recognise you, and love your work enough that they want to destroy it so that they can feel better about themselves...
Dude...Posted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by cly5000
You're famous now!!
I've often wondered..Posted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by cly5000
If Mr. Ghattas ever posted anything about me somewhere online.. Then I realized I didn't care. If people are judging people for something in which they've written without knowing the individual, then they are merely fools.
And yes, you can even have a milkshake with you burger!
I agree with ChrisPosted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by FAF101
Everyone in the blogging community knows of you now! You may have to get a beating stick for the crazed fans...
Also if you have stalkers you must be doing something awesome! Stalkers don't follow unawesome people.
AshleyPosted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by BrokenH
Granted, they're following me to make fun of me but even then I feel as if my ego is being stroked. lol.
Regardless, being a well known blogger isn't a big deal,Ash. I wouldn't put it alongside finding a cure for cancer, universal free healthcare, or solving world hunger by a long shot.
Apparently the people at Bo News think I'm a BIG DEAL though! Ugh, the news always does focus on trivial garbage! Point proven!
whaaaaaa?Posted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by Sneenlantern
whoah, this is utterly ridiculous. I hope no one is out there doing this to my blogs. It's a little insane, this internet thing.
But like everybody else says, smille: you're famous!
MattPosted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by BrokenH
I figure if you have your own "hate cult" you should take it as the sincerest form of flattery,Matt. lol. I realize I could probably get these troll kiddies in trouble for cyber-bullying but if they're this stupid I figure it's only a matter of time before they get themselves into deep shit. I don't have to even lift a finger to put those physics in motion,heh!
That is crazy.Posted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by jgusw
I'm sure one of those ass clowns must be a member here.
JamesPosted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by BrokenH
I'm pretty sure too. I would have preferred intricate riddles, global adventures, ten unique boss fights, and wily traps galore! As it turns out, I found the "He-man Ben Haters Club" with not much effort at all! How disappointing.
Could it be this "secret 1up member with a vendetta" is jealous? And of what? It's not as if I'm rolling in women and cash over here! (Unless they equate me having female friends as "rolling in women". lol.)
Thats...Posted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by ActivisionStoleMy360
Kinda creepy. Seriously, its like picking on a random person they don't know from a gaming website! your blogs must really be gaining traction/readership! But lets face it, actual "gamer journalism" is hard up! not because it lacks the talent, but because the angry corporate overlords simply don't underestand us, thus they put out fluff pieces they THINK we are interested in! True gaming articles should have depth and be a little provative! Thats what most of your stuff is, let these "reddit wanna-be's" have their laugh, no one will ever care or give as much thought to their work!
MattPosted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by BrokenH
I was surprised I got that much attention,Matt. Everyone puts up with a few trolls now and again but to go so far as to have a whole troll thread dedicated to me? Wow man, just wow! I didn't think I was that much of a big-shot!
As for gamers, we like to discuss many things. That's why I don't limit every blog to just mainstream hype or games in particular. Then again, most of my friends bring up deep and thoughtful stuff too. I don't really think I'm on the cutting edge of anything so it amazes me I have a dedicated stalker crew!
The Internet...Posted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by San_Andreas
...Information Superhighway or Information Toilet?
whoa...Posted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by ronin55T
just so weird. But yeah, I'm sure someone here is part of it.
TrinPosted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by BrokenH
That's a given. Hell, I don't mind if they disagree or find my grammar skills atrocious. But to go behind my back and start a troll posse just to ridicule me is the biggest cache 22 ever. At that point I think that person proves to be far more pitiful than myself.
I might even know who it is but ratting em out would ruin the fun!
BenPosted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by GunslingerScott
Don't let em tear you down, BrokenH. You're better than that. (Basically, folks in this thread have said a lot more encouraging and thoughtful words than I have at my disposal right now.) In short: you're good, man.
That's itPosted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by genresrforposers
the minute I find out someone does this to me, I'm taking my blog to google to get adsense cash every time they see my posts.
I think you should do the same!
There's an ideaPosted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by genresrforposers
hey, you get page views, which is how all sites generate ad revenue to some degree, so I'd ask for a raise! lol
You're fifteen minutes of fame...Posted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by Black_Widow_Spider

I swear...Posted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by retroyoshi

Good to know you're taking this in stride :-)
RobPosted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by BrokenH
No point in flippin out. I think it's more "sad" on their part than something to get mad over. Besides, they need to step up their game because the maturity ratio in that place is barely that of a bunch 12 year olds with secret decoder rings. I'd also relate it to a trio of children who think they're "bad ass" just because they got into the liquor & smokes cabinet of their parents!
It's kinda like this classic scene!
FansPosted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by spunky_d_99
Sometimes, mocking is the highest form of flattery. Don't let it shake you dude. And for all I know, My face could be posted up there somewhere under "pretentious review writer".
JamiePosted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by BrokenH
If you surf the internet you're gonna be mocked at some point. I don't think there's a way of dodging that bullet, Jamie. lol. We've all been there.
I just hope the people making fun of me are in fact kids. It would be kind of depressing to find out they're actually men and women in their mid twenties and mid forties. Talk about some serious arrested development issues!

is a bit weird. It is one thing to post shitty comments on someone's blog. But to comment about them somewhere else on the internet. How weird. You have a good attitude about it though.
MattPosted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by BrokenH
There's not much they can say in their defense,Matt. lol. In some way they obviously felt intimidated by me because they felt they had to insult me behind my back. They certainly did not take the fight to me here.
They also don't seem to realize how friggin easy it is to track activity online. Yup, we're dealing with amateurs!
I don't even care they disagreed with me or brought up my typos. It just seems like a. They totally missed the point of my blogs while only quoting select sentences to support their straw-man arguments and b. they're so spineless they had to hide away in a distant forum to get their lulz on.
Pity them more than me,sir!
To quote Neo:Posted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by alex-c25
It really feels like it's a David Lynch film seeing you on another part of the internet outside of 1up. You must be getting lots of recognition if you appeared on a troll site.

If I searched my name on the internet and found something like this, queue the picture of me spitting out my cereal.
This site for some reason reminds me of 4chan. And that's not a good thing. Now I'm curious as to how they'll respond to this blog!
KevPosted: Feb 05, 2013 12:00AM PST by BrokenH
It does have a 4 chan vibe to it,Kev! I visited 4 chan many years ago under the dumb assumption it was an anime/gaming fan site. I learned rather quickly I was wrong,heh!
I'd be flattered if they continued to follow up on my misadventures! However, now that I know the truth have I "pissed in their collective oats" so to speak?
I hate to toot my own horn (not really!) but I seem to have them in check-mate!

Did you attempt to learn the various communication strategies of the monkeys in order to attempt to communicate with them as to why they shouldn't be eating their feces? No?
Now you know why no one from bo-news bothered to post here to explain to you how bizarre and creepy you are. You are an exhibit to enjoy, not a real person.
Well, Ben, if you're giving up so easily and admitting how creepy you are...Posted: Feb 06, 2013 12:00AM PST by ygurts
...that takes all the fun out of it.
See you back on bo-news. You will absolutely, positively, no doubt be back soon because you deeply need attention and negative attention is the only kind you know how to get.
ygurtsPosted: Feb 06, 2013 12:00AM PST by BrokenH
I'm only coming onto you because you all came on to me first. (winks) I mean, there's a whole two threads on Bo-news analyzing my works excitedly! I just wish you had invited me to the "He-man BrokenH Haters Club" sooner! I am the guest of honor afterall!
Next time feel free to be yourselves when in my direct pressence. Don't worry,bro! There's nothing to fear but fear itself!

LinkedIn announced Thursday that it is rolling out its recently revamped brand pages to all the companies on the social network. In early September, LinkedIn redesigned its company pages in an effort to ramp up engagement between job hunters and businesses on the social network. The new pages feature a large cover photo at the top — similar to Facebook — and more prominently display updates from the company. At the time, the pages were only available to a select few companies, including Philips, CitiGroup and American Express. Read the full story at Mashable.

what is your policy regarding driver and student relationship? is it the norm that a driver call a fifteen year old student at his home three times nightly without addressing the parent? I have a serious concern here and i am also a teacher that works on a daily basis with your company.

The iconic Jeep Wrangler, which has been selling in ever-larger numbers as it moves away from the diminutive Willys Jeeps, is getting minor upgrades for the 2014 model year, including new colors. All models will get new floor mat retention systems and clear (rather than amber) park/turn lamps on the grille.
A Warn trail kit (Warn is a company, not a noun for "speak of future danger") will become optional late in the model year on all Wranglers. An upgrade trip computer with readouts for speed, oil pressure, and coolant and transmission fluid temperature will be provided when buyers get the Connectivity Group. It also provides individual tire pressure readings.
A Mitsubishi-sourced UConnect 430 stereo, code RBZ, will be optional on Sport for just under $700; it has a 6.5 inch touch screen and 28 MB of hard drive storage. Sport buyers can also opt for 32 inch tires with black wheels. Rubicon X and Freedom Edition return.
New colors include Anvil, Granite Crystal, Copperhead, and Amp'd, while Flame Red and Dune, launched late in 2013, will return. True Blue, Rugged Brown, Rock Lobster, Command, and Deep Cherry Red Crystal Pearl are all being dropped.
