When Norman Rockwell's famous Golden Rule painting-turned-mosaic is re-dedicated at the United Nation's Headquarters in New York City on Tuesday, heads of state, diplomats and influential political figures will bear witness to the ceremonial event.
And so will the work of four Washington Township seventh graders.
Chestnut Ridge Middle School students Casey Bodner, Andrea Eleazar, Mackenzie Hoose and James Gallicchio will have their essays on the Golden Rule, and reflections on its place in world conflicts both past and current, displayed at the rededication's reception.
They can thank their humanities teacher Lori Bathurst for the honor. She's worked closely for years with a UN program focused on promoting education about its work, and was able to connect to the Thanks-Giving Foundation, a Dallas-based nonprofit responsible for giving the mosaic to the United Nations at its 40th anniversary in 1985.
The only living member of the nonprofit's four founders will be at Tuesday's rededication, to be held after an overhaul of UN facilities necessitated the mosaic's temporary removal.
"I'm proud of my essay," said James. "It's a good feeling to know world-wide diplomats are going to see it."
Bathurst — named Gloucester County Teacher of the Year for 2011-2012 — had all of her students write essays reflecting on the Golden Rule in the context of historical examples of persecution and oppression, particularly America's use of Japanese internment camps during World War II and Australia's "Lost Generation" of aboriginal children forcibly removed from their homes.
They also discussed the application of the Golden Rule in their own lives, as well as current events.
Andrea, who studies the German language, took on reports the U.S. government actively spied on German Chancellor Angela Merkel's communications. James and Casey both focused on the humanitarian crisis caused by the civil war raging in Syria, and Bathurst said discussing how the Golden Rule can prevent such events helps students reflect on conflict throughout history.
"These are issues worth thinking about at a young age as they determine their path in the future," Bathurst said. "They really had to make a lot of connections ... they're rising to the occasion.
To have the essays displayed, showing UN leaders that the next generation is working to understand and promote their message and purpose "means the world" to Bathurst.
She'll be bringing the poster board displaying the four essays, along with a description of Washington Township, to New York on a 5 a.m. train prior to Tuesday's big day.
"As a school district, we are really proud to showcase their work and to support the work that the UN is doing," she said. "I also have a lot of pride in Chestnut Ridge because we do a lot to advocate for character education, and in our own way, carry the UN message forward."

Syracuse, NY -- Dr. Robert Neulander's lawyer told a County Court judge that his murder trial couldn't come soon enough in the 2012 death of his wife, Leslie.
"We want a trial now," said lawyer Ed Menkin during a Wednesday morning appearance. "This afternoon would be fine, but Dec. 1 works for us."
But that's not going to happen, either. Neulander's final court appearance before trial has been pushed back to Feb. 2, 2015. And no trial date has been scheduled, though it would probably happen within weeks after that.
The delay came after the District Attorney's Office signaled Wednesday it would have trouble lining up its expert witnesses for a December trial. After some back and forth in court, Judge Thomas J. Miller asked the lawyers to meet him privately in chambers to talk about a trial date.
The parties settled on February as the earliest possible date.
Neulander, 62, is charged with murder and evidence tampering in his wife's Sept. 17, 2012 death inside their Manlius home.
Menkin questioned the prosecution's readiness for trial in court Wednesday, noting that they couldn't get their witnesses to Syracuse to testify. But Senior Assistant District Attorney Melinda McGunnigle said she contacted the experts as soon as she could to check their schedules.
Several of them were not available in January and a key witness -- the chief medical examiner for the state of Kentucky -- wasn't available Dec. 1.
Menkin has argued that prosecutors should be ready to try the case when they announce ready for trial.
"When Dr. Neulander was arraigned, The People announced ready for trial," Menkin said. "That has to mean something. It's gotta be in good faith. They actually have to be ready for trial."
"Readiness for trial" is a legal term that is required to guarantee a person's Constitutional right to a speedy trial. In other words, prosecutors can't drag the case on without having enough proof to go to trial.
But judges are responsible for deciding scheduling of trials. If prosecutors have collected enough evidence to be prepared for trial, but have a scheduling conflict, the judge determines how to proceed.
Miller has clearly decided that Neulander's trial can wait until February.
This is an unusual case because prosecutors have had nearly two years to build their case against Neulander. but he has only been under arrest for two months.
Murders often take a year or more to get to trial, but that's because evidence is still being collected during the process. In Neulander's case, that all happened before his arrest.
So, now we're waiting for the high-powered witnesses to reach town.
For the prosecution, the witnesses include celebrity doctor Michael Baden, Kentucky medical examiner Dr. Tracey Corey and other out-of-town experts, according to a list read by Menkin in court.
Menkin has not said who will testify on Neulander's behalf.

A few words on Latos
Mat Latos had a big complete game for the Reds in a 7-2 victory over the Cardinals on Monday.
The Latos line: 9 ip, 4 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
100 pitches/67 strikes
Following Matt Carpenter's RBI double in the third inning, Latos retired 21 of the last 22 hitters. It was his fourth career complete game. Latos had 54 pitches through the first four innings, so he needed only 46 pitches to work through the final five innings, including an eight-pitch top of the ninth.
Jeremy Warnemunde will have a complete story on MLB.com, but here are a couple of quotes from Latos' teammates:
"Huge. We're going to build off that. It's what he's been doing. He's the man. He's our No. 1 guy so we've got to ride on his back. The way he pitched today, if he keeps on doing that, we're going to be doing some damage in the playoffs for sure." — Todd Frazier
"He's done great. He's done better and better. He's maturing as a player. I saw him in San Diego. I'm really proud of him. I've seen him grow up a lot. He's really thriving in those big game situations. Not even on the field, but off the field, he's matured. I'll say it again. I think he's a future Cy Young Award winner. It's just a matter of time before that happens in my opinion. I think you see his emotions on the field. He controls better now. He attacks hitters. He's got some of the best stuff in the league, no doubt about it." — Ryan Ludwick
6 Comments
Ludwick has been around long enough to make this statement about Latos and I believe he's going to prove to be correct.
The ball is in the Reds court…(3) more games left (at home) with SL ….(6) left with Pitt with (3) at home. The batting averages are getting better for Cosart and Mesoroco. The thing that is a little troublesome is Votto. Yes, he got a homer today, but he has, of late, appears to have trouble squaring up on the pitches
and it appears that he is striking out more often. His average has dropped from near .320 to below .310. He's in a class by himself as a major leaguer and it is my belief he'll solve the problem, and soon.
Votto thinks too much . He analyzes everything he does. I believe it has affected him not only at the plate , but in the field and on the base paths. I hope it gets through it in time.
Agree. I'd move him down to fifth in batting order to relieve some of the pressure.
Wainwright fell to 5-9 career against Cincinnati. In his last two starts against the Reds, the right-hander has given up 18 hits and 15 runs in only eight innings. He's 1-3 in four starts against Cincinnati this season with a 7.77 ERA.
Curt, you and I had the Reds in first by Labor Day. I still think they're going to do it by … What's the last day of the season? Go Reds!
Ok, in first by September 23rd. Just a few weeks off.

The Kirwin Unit of the Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program is located along the North Fork of the Solomon River in the State of Kansas. The unit features include a multiple-purpose dam and reservoir and a canal, lateral, and drainage system used to serve 11,435 irrigable acres. In addition to the irrigation benefits provided by the unit, it protects the downstream area from floods, conserves and enhances fish and wildlife, and provides recreation opportunities.
Return to top
The principal features of the unit consist of Kirwin Dam and Reservoir; Kirwin Main, North, and South Canals, and a lateral system to distribute the water to the unit lands.
Kirwin Dam, on the North Fork of the Solomon River near Kirwin, Kansas, was completed in August 1955. The dam is a rolled earthfill structure, with a structural height of 169 feet and a crest length of 12,646 feet. About 9,537,000 cubic yards of earth and rock and 44,000 cubic yards of concrete were used in constructing the dam, spillway, and outlet works. The initial capacity of the reservoir was 314,550 acre-feet; 89,650 for irrigation, 215,115 for flood control, and the remainder for dead storage. A concrete spillway on the right abutment of the dam can discharge 96,000 cubic feet per second of water at the maximum water surface elevation 1,773 ft. Fifteen gated sluiceways, discharging through the bottom of the overflow section into the spillway chute, are used primarily to make controlled releases of floodwaters.
The outlet works through the dam acts as a canal and river outlet. Both releases are made from a stilling well located near the downstream side of the dam. The capacity of the canal outlet is 175 cubic feet per second, and the capacity of the river outlet is 100 cubic feet per second.
Kirwin Main Canal begins at the stilling well at the downstream face of the dam and extends 13.4 miles on the north side of the river, where it branches into the Kirwin North and Kirwin South Canals. The initial capacity of the main canal is 175 cubic feet per second. The Kirwin North Canal continues on the north side of the river 14.3 miles and has an initial capacity of 70 cubic feet per second. The Kirwin South Canal crosses the river in a siphon, extends along the south side of the river for 16.3 miles, and has an initial capacity of 60 cubic feet per second.
Laterals extend from all three canals to serve the project lands. These laterals consist of the Kirwin Main, Kirwin North, and Kirwin South, and total approximately 38 miles in length. In addition, there are 2.4 miles of drains.
Kirwin Dam and Reservoir are operated and maintained by the Bureau of Reclamation. Operation of the reservoir is coordinated with that of other reservoirs in the Kansas River Basin. Water in the flood control capacity is regulated in accordance with instructions furnished by the Corps of Engineers.
Operation and maintenance of the canals, laterals, and drains are the responsibility of the irrigation district.
The Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife administers the water surface and the larger portion of the Kirwin Reservoir lands as the Kirwin National Wildlife Refuge.
In 1879, the central branch of the Union Pacific Railroad was constructed through the valley of the North Fork of the Solomon River to Kirwin and the town became the center of activity during the early days of settlement. The settlers had aspirations for a prosperous and well-developed area. However, because of the frequent droughts that occurred over the years, these hopes were not realized and many of the early homesteads were abandoned. Prolonged droughts of the 1930`s and damaging floods focused attention on flood control needs and water conservation. As a result of the investigations by the Bureau of Reclamation and the need for irrigation in the area, Kirwin Irrigation District No. I was organized officially in August 1950.
Detailed plans for developing the water resources of the unit were initiated soon after construction was authorized by the Flood Control Act of December 1944.
After the disastrous Kansas River flood of July 1951, public demand for adequate flood control resulted in appropriations authorized by the Congress for that purpose in the Supplemental Appropriation Act of November 1951. The act directed the immediate construction of Kirwin Dam and Reservoir for flood control, but permitted further study before the irrigation aspects of the unit were begun.
The magnitude of the unprecedented flood of July 1951 demonstrated fully the necessity for further regulation and control of the water resources in the Kansas River Basin and required modification of previous plans for the dam, the most important change being that the capacity of the reservoir for flood control was more than doubled.
The unit was authorized by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944, Public Law 534.
Construction of Kirwin Dam started in March 1952 and was completed in August 1955. The Kirwin Main, North, and South Canals were completed in January 1958.
Lands of the unit are highly productive and the growing season is ample for field crops. A wide variety of crops can be grown in this area, but the principal crops are corn, grain sorghum, and alfalfa hay.
Kirwin National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), the first national wildlife refuge in Kansas, was established in 1954 as an overlay project on a Bureau of Reclamation irrigation and flood control reservoir. The bureau owns the land and controls reservoir water levels, while the refuge staff manages all other activities on the land and water. The reservoir is fed by the North Fork of the Solomon River and Bow Creek. Both are intermittent streams, which means they may dry up in periods of low precipitation. The refuge and reservoir are open 24 hours daily. The primary purpose of the Kirwin NWR is to provide nesting cover, food and shelter for song birds, waterfowl, upland game birds, and mammals. Wildlife oriented recreational activities such as fishing, hunting, wildlife observation, and photography can also be enjoyed at the refuge. Fishing for walleye, black crappie, largemouth and smallmouth bass, wipers, channel catfish and other species is permitted year round. Hunting for waterfowl and upland game is permitted during the appropriate season.
Kirwin NWR, located west of the town of Kirwin in Phillips County in north-central Kansas, was established to provide habitat for and facilitate the management of the Nation`s migratory bird resource. The topography of the refuge is rolling with grass covered hilltops nearly 200 feet higher than the wooded creek bottoms.
A reservoir, established primarily for flood control and irrigation, covers 5,079 surface acres at conservation pool level. Primary water source for the reservoir is Bow Creek and the north fork of the Solomon River. Due to fluctuating water levels the 5,079 acres are often divided between water, mud flats, and timber/brush growth.
The remainder of the refuge is composed of 1,600 acres of cropland, 3,749 acres of grassland, and 400 acres of riparian areas and shelter-belts surrounding Kirwin Reservoir. Kirwin Refuge serves as a migration stop over for waterfowl and as a staging point for water birds including Pelicans and Cormorants. Kirwin also has a large winter population of both Bald and Golden Eagles and a large population of other species of hawks and owls. The refuge provides important nesting cover, food, and shelter for songbirds.
With proper water levels the refuge provides exposed mud as feeding areas for spring and fall migrations of shorebirds. Kirwin Refuge also provides food and cover for resident populations of white tailed and mule deer, pheasant, bobwhite quail, greater prairie chicken, and the Rio Grande turkey.
Before construction of Kirwin Dam and Reservoir, numerous floods damaged or destroyed valley crops, livestock, and property and contributed to losses far downstream along the mainstem rivers. The flood control capacity provided in Kirwin Reservoir is large enough to completely control the largest flood of record and maintain the outflow at a safe channel capacity. As a result, most of the floodwaters can now be harnessed for beneficial use.
Kirwin Reservoir has an exclusive flood control capacity of 215,115 acre-feet and a surcharge capacity of 198,470 acre-feet for a total flood control capacity of 413,585 acre-feet. As of 1998, Kirwin Reservoir has prevented $75.4 million in flood damages.

Gay Marriage: Supreme Court Sidesteps Prop 8Elizabeth Cooper in The Wall Street Journal, June 26, 2013
Jess Bravin and Fordham University Associate Prof. Elizabeth Cooper explain the Supreme Court's move to avoid a ruling on Proposition 8 and its impact on same-sex couples.
Professor Cooper said of the ruling, "It is 100% in favor, but some people would say that the Court did have an opportunity, in the Prop 8 case, to make a clear statement about whether same-sex marriage passes constitutional muster or not. The Court opted against that. In some ways, they took the very moderate step-by-step approach that Justice Ginsberg seemed to be indicating would be appropriate when she was talking about the Roe v Wade decision before the Court heard the gay cases."

SPRINGFIELD – Massachusetts' strengths in education, health-care and high technology make it poised for success, but looming budget problems at the federal, state and local levels threaten that possibility according to the speakers at the Outlook 2012 luncheon Monday.
"My overall take is that we are doing better than most other states and are positioned better than most other states for the future," said Michael J. Widmer, president of the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation. "Those of you who have heard me speak over the years know I don't say that lightly."
Widmer shared speaking duties Monday with U.S. Rep. Richard-E. Neal, D-Springfield and Springfield Mayor Domenic J. Sarno, who focused his remarks on Springfield's ongoing recovery from the June tornado.
The Affiliated Chambers of Commerce of Greater Springfield drew 585 people to the MassMutual Center for the annual luncheon, said Jeffrey S. Ciuffreda, president of the Affiliated Chambers. In recent years, the chambers had hosted the lunch at Chez Josef in Agawam. But the chambers moved this year's event to Springfield in recognition of the city's recovery from the devastating tornadoes.
In his remarks, Widmer said the national economy is beginning to recover and he praised the recent series of state budgets for being balanced and avoiding gimmicks. But he said nationally household incomes are falling and income disparities between rich and poor are growing. Governments, especially towns and cities in Massachusetts, are facing mounting costs for employee and retiree health care.
Widmer said it will be hard to government to maintain public services in that environment. high education is a priority because the state will need an educated work force.
"We need to step up for higher education, for UMass, the state colleges and the community colleges," Widmer said. "They are a key part of our future."
Neal, a member of the powerful House Ways & Means Committee, spoke of the importance of the Barnes Air National Guard Base in Westfield and the Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee to both the area's economy and to the nation's defense. The federal budget is tight and there are defense cuts looming.
Neal also talked about the importance of federal tax reform and of getting a new transportation bill passed.

We have been using our wireless fence for 3 years. The old collar stopped working. Purchased the new collar and it works like a charm. Easy to activate, uses the same batteries. Hope we get another 3 years out of this replacement. Thanks for keeping things simple!

Easy set up. Easy training initially at our first home. Easy transition to our second home.

I have had the wireless pet containment system for many years, but had a stubbon dog who would take the shock just to get out of the area. We went to the inground containment system and used it for many years, but after the death of our beloved pet, we got a smaller puppy, and decided to go back to using the wireless system again. I needed a replacement collar and found the one I purchased. It has worked great, and does contain the pet within the limits. I recommend it to anyone needing to keep their pet safely within the area.

Love that I don't have to buy wires or look for breaks when the fence did not work
Posted by Unknown on May 2nd 2014
The collar is definitely large enough, though I don't like the prongs. However it doesn't seem to bother the dogs. I take the collar off at night, just to make sure their necks don't get sore.
Posted by T Morgan on Apr 22nd 2014
We've been using the wireless instant fence system for 8 years with our dog. The old collar finally wore out and I bought this collar as a replacement. Quick and easy replacement. Best price I could find. Only bad thing is the battery that came with the collar did not work and I had to replace it.
Posted by Unknown on Apr 12th 2014
I love my pet safe wireless fence system but needed another collar for another dog. Wish I would of bought one sooner. Both dogs can go out at once and we don't have to adjust the collar for each dog always.

Discussion in 'General Marijuana Growing' started by J.S.L, Oct 2, 2011.
How big should the pot be for an 18 inch plant?
Rule of thumb is 1gallon/foot. So 18 inch is something like 1.5 feet = 1.5-2.0gallon pot.
happy growing!
i like to stay minimum of 3 gal tho.....but thats just me....
I like the '3 gallon minimum' suggestion, as well. Bigger is always better, easier to water and maintain, etc....plus, plants end up bigger than expected, usually, when starting out.lol
For that size I would say 3g as well.
If my veg/flower was expected to be more then 2.5-3 months I would consider moving to a 5g or larger.
2 gallons is probably a reasonable place to start the discussion, but this isn't as simple as it might seem.
What strain you use, how you train the plant, how much nutrients and how much light you use will affect the plants height. Most strains simply won't want to complete flowering in a space that small.
Its possible to grow an 18" plant through flowering in a coffee cup, and its possible to do it in a 5 gallon drum.
If your total vertical space is limited, you'll probably want to start off with a SHORT pot to limit your overall height, and train the plant to complete flowering shorter.
Floor space allways dictates what size pot i use,the old rule of thumb where we are supposed to use pots with one gallon for every month the plant is alive is complete bs.
You can grow monster plants out of 1/2 gallon pots,i personally prefer smaller pots,the soil drys much faster ,there is no chance of root rott with small pots,its also very hard to over water.
For my soil plants im growing right now im using 1.5 gallon air pots,the sides are slotted so the soil drys out extremely fast, grow 3ft to 4ft plants using these pots with yeilds of about 4 ounces each plant.
I grow flood & drain now days but for years soil was my main method,floor space was premium,i grew 3ft plants using all 1.5 QUART pots,i had excellent results too,in bud i had to water 2 or 3 times a day until i started using a drip feed system,ive also never had a problem with plants being rootbound,the plants are not alive long enough for root growth to be an issue,once plants are budding root growth all but stops so its never been an issue at all.
go 3-5 gallon pots!After all ,The bigger the root the bigger the fruit !!

ROBERTSDALE, Alabama -- The Baldwin County school board held a public budget hearing Tuesday at Robertsdale High School to discuss a proposed $313 million budget for fiscal year 2015.
The school system's interim superintendent, Robbie Owen, who was selected on Aug. 11, presented the budget to the board.
The 2014 spending plan was $305 million.
The 2015 budget reflects an expected $3.2 million increase in property tax revenue, from $42.2 million in 2014 to $45.4 million in 2015.
However, the ad valorem revenue is still $8.7 million, or 16 percent, less than it was in 2008, when it was $54 million, said John Wilson, the school system's chief financial officer.
The general fund expenditures are budgeted at $228 million. That's about a 2.3 percent increase over last year, which is equal to projected enrollment growth, Wilson said.
The school system has averaged a 2 percent growth each year for the last 13 years.
About 67 percent of the budget goes toward salaries and benefits. The school system has 3,622 employees.
State revenues are projected at $141.8 million, up from $135.9 million in fiscal year 2014. Federal revenues are expected to be $22 million, down from $23 million in 2014.
Baldwin County's one-cent sales tax for education is projected to bring in $27.8 million in 2015. That will fund salaries for 510 employees.
The proposed budget is online at the school system's website. To view, click here.

We need developing countries and our partner institutions to bring forward project proposals that meet the ambition of Paris, that unlock innovation, and that will truly drive low emission, climate resilient development. It is time to convert the words—and signatures—into action." (Read the full statement)

What is GCF?
Climate change is the defining challenge of our time. The human impact on our planet is unprecedented. Long-term changes in the earth's climate system are significant. The Green Climate Fund was established with a mission to advance the goal of keeping the temperature increase on our home planet below 2 degrees Celsius.
The Fund is a unique global initiative to respond to climate change by investing into low-emission and climate-resilient development. GCF was established by 194 governments to limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions in developing countries, and to help adapt vulnerable societies to the unavoidable impacts of climate change. Given the urgency and seriousness of the challenge, the Fund is mandated to make an ambitious contribution to the united global response to climate change.

Tim Thomas is still without an NHL team and now the Davison native needs a new agent, too.
Thomas' long-time agent, Bill Zito, has left the business of representing players and joined the other side. Zito accepted a job as the Columbus Blue Jackets' assistant general manager. Zito had been active in reaching out to teams about Thomas but the reception was cold. Thomas was reportedly asking for $3 million per season -- a price that may come down now that he's without an agent to push his value.
It's still unknown weather Thomas will seek to hire a new agent or attempt to represent himself. The veteran goalie has still yet to make any public comments about his NHL comeback attempt. There has been no indication that the Blue Jackets would be interested in acquiring him, given that they're currently set at the goalie position.
Other teams rumored to be a potential fit for Thomas include Florida, Calgary and Edmonton.

The average salary for a Trainee Recruitment Consultant is $39,305 per year.
Add this chart to your site:
Copy and paste this HTML:
While trainee recruitment consultants are employed by a wide range of companies, they are employed primarily in fields which facilitate a high turnover of employees and rapidly-expanding businesses. Those in this position must be energetic and very persuasive in order to convince qualified persons to work for a company.Read More...
Much of their time is spent networking to find potential applicants, which includes obtaining lists of college graduates in fields which best suit the company. It is also common to spend several hours a week on social networking sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Google+ to find prospects. After a list has been completed, contacting the individuals to set up interviews is the next step; depending on the company and position, the consultant may meet with some or all prospects or simply refer them to the appropriate departments to complete the hiring process. The recruiter may not only "pitch" the company once to attract a prospect, but also again when they agree to meet in-person with a representative.
Most companies employ this position with a base salary plus commission based on how many employees they recruit. Work hours are extremely flexible, as most of the time is spent compiling a database of potential workers which can be done at any time of the day, though most of these consultants work standard 40-hour weeks with some occasional overtime. Telecommuting may be part of the job, so some time may be split between a home office and professional office.
Requirements for the position can vary greatly, but at least two years of sales experience in a sales, advertising, or marketing position may be required by some employers.

Freshman Makenna Partain's dominance in the circle and at the plate led the Banks softball team to a 10-0 five-inning win over Willamina Saturday afternoon at Banks High School.
Partain pitched a complete game shutout, allowing two hits while striking eight.
At the plate, Partain was 4 for 4 with two triples, a double and a single while racking up three RBIs.
The win, along with a 6-0 victory over Heppner earlier in the day, improved Banks' record to 8-2 on the year.
In rainy conditions on Saturday, Banks used a three-run first inning to take firm control of the game.
Megan Bunn's bases loaded walk gave Banks its first run and a Courtney Engeseth single scored two runs for the 3-0 lead.
Partain's two-run triple in the third gave Banks a 5-0 lead before the team broke out for five runs in the fifth inning.
In the fifth, Banks used an Engeseth RBI double, RBI singles by Taylor Herb and Lexi Chung, a sacrifice fly off the bat of Riley Gerlinger and Partain's RBI double to reach the 10-run limit.
Willamina dropped to 6-2 on the season and will return to 3A West Valley League play on Monday against Gervais.
Banks, the second-ranked team in the OSAA 4A power rankings, beings Cowapa League play Tuesday at Yamhill-Carlton (1-4 overall) at 5 p.m.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The inaugural edition of Who's Who in America's Credit Unions includes 8,804 unsung heroes and high-profile leaders of the credit union movement.

"The Editorial Advisory Board was blown away by the quality of the nominees and the wide array of backgrounds inducted into our inaugural edition," said Dennis Dollar, Editorial Advisory Board Chairman. "We are hoping that this is just the beginning, as there are thousands of unsung heroes of our movement who deserve greater recognition of their service in building America's credit unions into what they are today."
Other members of the Editorial Advisory Board that validated the inductees included former NAFCU CEO Ken Robinson; retired Virginia Credit Union League CEO Gene Farley; former NCUA Board member and current acting CEO of Andrews FCU Deborah Matz; Alabama Credit Union League President Gary Wolter; Truliant FCU President and CEO Marcus Schafer; Board Chairman of Aberdeen Proving Ground FCU David Gilbert; current National Federation of Community Development Credit Union chair Eunice Rogers; and former NCUA Vice Chair Shirlee Bown?(C).

The westbound lanes of Route 581 were reopened to traffic this morning after a three-vehicle crash that shut down both lanes at the split with Interstate 83 in Lemoyne.
State police spokesman Trooper Karl Schmidhamer said the wreck, which occurred at 5:48 a.m., involved two tractor-trailers and a pickup truck. The driver of the pickup, Benigno Vasquez, 45, of Steelton, was treated for injuries at Hershey Medical Center and released, authorities said..
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation reported both lanes clear by 8:05 a.m.
The wreck occurred as a rig driven by Russell Artison, 48, of Fort Worth, Texas, was merging from I-83 north onto Route 581 west, police said.
Schmidhamer said Vazquez was driving south on I-83,onto Route 581 when his pickup was struck from behind by a second rig, driven by Gerald Hadlick, 56, of Windsor, N.Y.
Impact of the collision pushed his pickup into the rear end of Artison's rig, Schmidhamer said..
Both veered to the left after the initial crash, and the pickup truck overturned after it struck Artison's rig a second time, Schmidhamer said.
With access to Route 581 shut off, commuter traffic was stymied.
Traffic on I-83 north approaching the split backed up past the Reesers Summit exit in York County. On I-83 south, traffic piled up across the South Bridge.
Heavy traffic also was reported on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, as well as local streets including Carlisle Road in Lower Allen Twp., 10th Street and Lowther Street in Lemoyne and Bridge Street in New Cumberland.

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
Memorial Day is about remembering our better nature
The terribleness and grandeur of young people going off in waves to fight is the stuff myths are made of. No wonder the rhetoric of war is timeless and nonspecific. No wonder each war seems to blend into the ones before and the ones after.
Today's speech may have been President Bush's best Memorial Day speech yet. He remembered that the day was not about a particular political agenda but about something bigger.
The names of these honored are known only to the Creator who delivered them home from the anguish of war -- but their valor is known to us all. It's the same valor that endured the stinging cold of Valley Forge. It is the same valor that planted the proud colors of a great nation on a mountaintop on Iwo Jima. It is the same valor that charged fearlessly through the assault of enemy fire from the mountains of Afghanistan to the deserts of Iraq. It is the valor that has defined the armed forces of the United States of America throughout our history.
Some of us remember that engagement in the war in Iraq bears no resemblance to the American Revolution or World War II. But we'll let that pass as we honor those who live and die with valor--or without it. It's only at a remove that we see the glory in death. Some of us don't see it even then.
On this Memorial Day, I stand before you as the Commander-in-Chief and try to tell you how proud I am at the sacrifice and service of the men and women who wear our uniform. They're an awesome bunch of people and the United States is blessed to have such citizens.
At this point, there was a standing ovation. One women even rose to shout "Whoo-hoo," so inspired was she by this stirring speech, according to the Orange County Register.
It's easy to get people going these days. One hundred and fourteen years ago, it took more. Oliver Wendall Holmes Jr. took seven pages of speechifying to inspire people:
But, nevertheless, the generation that carried on the war has been set apart by its experience. Through our great good fortune, in our youth our hearts were touched with fire. It was given to us to learn at the outset that life is a profound and passionate thing. While we are permitted to scorn nothing but indifference, and do not pretend to undervalue the worldly rewards of ambition, we have seen with our own eyes, beyond and above the gold fields, the snowy heights of honor, and it is for us to bear the report to those who come after us. But, above all, we have learned that whether a man accepts from Fortune her spade, and will look downward and dig, or from Aspiration her axe and cord, and will scale the ice, the one and only success which it is his to command is to bring to his work a mighty heart.
(Note the source of the title of the Mariane Pearl book/Angelina Jolie movie A Mighty Heart.)
I ask no apology of you who think it's unfair to point out the President's communication limitations. If you're the Leader of the Free World and Commander in Chief, you ought to be able to stick with the speech writer's art and rise above "awesome bunch." You might want to point out that life should be a spirited and passionate activity for all of us, not only the soldiers among us.
After the speech, Bush met with important advisors from a recent trip to the Middle East: five NCAA head football coaches. Tommy Tuberville, Auburn University, had met a soldier who'd lost part of his leg to a roadside bomb.
"I have kids their age and I'd
like my kids to meet some of those people. Every one of them look you in the
eye, shake your hand, tell them about their mission, what they're doing. ...
Our college kids lead a pretty nice life and those kids are over there serving
our country and just doing a great job," the Register reported.
Awesome, coach!
I wonder what Tuberville's kids would make of Holmes' second famous Memorial Day speech in 1895:
In this snug, over-safe corner of the world we need (the message of living life for a purpose), that we may realize that our comfortable routine is no eternal necessity of things, but merely a little space of calm in the midst of the tempstuous untamed streaming of the world, and in order that we may be ready for danger. We need it in this time of individualist negations. . . revolting at discipline, loving fleshpots, and denying that anything is worthy of reverence--in order that we may remember all that buffoons forget. We need it everywhere and at all times. For high and dangerous action teaches us to believe as right beyond dispute things for which our doubting minds are slow to find words of proof. Out of heroism grows faith in the worth of heroism. The proof comes later, and even may never come.
Soldiers understand that. So should we all.
And not only for going to war.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), especially with an involvement limited to the skin, is a rare entity in adults. In formulating a differential diagnosis of a solitary skin lesion, LCH is rarely considered. Morphologically, cells seen in LCH can mimic those seen in a melanocytic tumor; moreover, they both show S-100 protein reactivity with immunoperoxidase staining. A 63-year-old male presented to a dermatology clinic with a solitary hyperpigmented macule on his right calf. A biopsy specimen showed epithelioid cells within the dermis, singly and in small groups, surrounded and infiltrated by collections of histiocytes and lymphocytes. These cells were diffusely positive for S-100 and negative for Melan-A. A diagnosis of malignant melanoma, spitzoid variant, was rendered, and the patient was sent to our melanoma center for surgical treatment. On histologic examination, some of the lesional cells had reniform, vesicular nuclei with central grooves. Additional immunoperoxidase staining showed strong, diffuse positivity for CD1a, supporting the diagnosis of LCH. LCH is morphologically similar to and can be misdiagnosed as malignant melanoma. It is important to be aware of this pitfall and utilize immunohistochemical and ultrastructural analysis to achieve correct diagnosis.

In the U.S., energy consumption accounts for over three-quarters of human-generated greenhouse gas emissions, a leading cause of climate change. More than half of these energy-related emissions come from large sources such as power plants and factories, while about a third comes from transportation. Industrial processes, agriculture, and waste management are also significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States.
Scientists believe that the change in the earth's climate caused by the increase in emissions of greenhouse gases may lead to a rise in severe weather events around the world, including higher temperatures, melting icecaps, flooding and drought. If left unchecked, it is possible that climate change will adversely impact our natural ecosystems causing animal extinction and human suffering.
Most of the energy we use today comes from fossil fuels, which in turn, emits carbon into our atmosphere. So, every time we turn on a light, switch on a computer or drive our car, we are leaving our own personal carbon footprint on the planet. The more energy we use, the larger our personal impact on the environment.
We all have a role in resolving climate change too, and EarthEra products and services provide the opportunity for everyone to fight climate change by building a clean energy future.

BOSTON -- Anibal Sanchez did not allow a hit. But he ran out of pitches with three innings to go.
Sanchez struck out 12 and walked six but did not allow a hit Saturday night through six innings of Game 1 of the American League Championship Series against the Boston Red Sox. But he threw 116 pitches through six innings and was replaced by Al Alburquerque to start the seventh inning.
Sanchez actually struck out four in the first inning -- one batter reached on a wild pitch -- then struck out the side again in the fourth inning. He struck out at least one batter in each of his six innings but struggled with his command throughout the night.
Sanchez walked the bases loaded in the sixth inning, then got out of the jam by striking out Stephen Drew to preserve his team's 1-0 lead. Sanchez showed a ton of emotion after striking out Drew -- pumping his fist as he spun and skipped off the mound -- then headed for the dugout.
It is the second consecutive game for the Tigers in which their starter has carried a no-hitter through six innings. Justin Verlander did not allow a hit until the seventh inning of Game 5 of the AL Division Series, a 3-0 win over the Oakland Athletics.

Skip to comments.Wow, anyone else watching Hannity lay into that Democrat? (Vanity Post)
Posted on 03/18/2003 6:26:56 PM PST by xrp
She even called him 'unAmerican'. What nerve!
I believe the entire party leadership and their extreme far out base is on the verge of self-implosion due to all of the snithering huffing and puffing that is bellowing out from the incessant high pitched velocity of their wailings and poor overworked lungs.<p. Just give it a rest already, our bold and decisive CIC, President Bush, is gettin' it on and done!
"...Schakowsky said she came away with a firmer resolve "that this was indeed our mission, our responsibility as human beings and Americans, that we do have an interest if we care about each other."
Her Jewish faith makes her particularly sensitive to the issue of ethnic cleansing, she said. "The words 'never again' do ring in my ears, and when I see - I don't lightly use the word atrocities - when I see them I feel that we do have to stop them."
Though "cautiously optimistic" about the NATO air campaign, Schakowsky said it was important to start massing troops, which General Clark told the delegation members would take 75 days. In the event of a settlement, the troops would be needed anyway, she said..."
Hmmm...why she think Kosovars are more worthy than Kurds?
It sort of makes me giddy.
This must be the newest dem strategy. Brit showed on his show tonight showed a statement by Nancy Pelosi about Tom Daschle. The gist was that Daschle is the true patriot by voicing criticism. Then later, can't remember the source, I heard or read another subtle variation of this theme from yet another dem, and now the account of this shrew.
Bottom line, the dems are trying to construct the situation to be that they can spew venom and not be criticized for it. If you do, in this scheme, then YOU'RE the unAmerican. See?
It won't work, I pray.
"Look, we have exhausted virtually our diplomatic effort to get the Iraqis to comply with their own agreements and with international law. Given that, what other option is there but to force them to do so? ... The answer is, we don't have another option. We have got to force them to comply, and we are doing so militarily."
-- Sen. Daschle
Interesting choice of words. That's exactly what I called her in my e-mail to her, immediately after she started spouting the Daschle loving bull crap.
....other stinkin,' screechin,' hysterical far left liberal shrills from Illinois like herself.
Excellent!!! That ...... is exactly what they are!!!!
Yes there is. The latter is far more likely to get the job done than the former.
Listen to enough Hannity, and you're going to have plenty of those. He sucks.
He consistently misses the bigger picture and allows himself to be distracted by minor points. His argumentation tends to be shallow, repetitive, and unpersuasive. He takes cheap shots all the time yet cherishes his "mr. nice guy" image.
In short, he's no Limbaugh.
I fear the day when he fully assumes Rush's mantle. It will be the beginning of the end of conservative talk radio.

Skip to comments.Russell Wilson defied all odds to become the talk of the NFL (football, family, faith)
Posted on 12/24/2012 9:24:07 AM PST by doug from upland
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.
Tammy Wilson is referencing scripture, 1 Samuel Chapter 16, Verse 7, and looking through her purse to find her Bible.
Turns out it's in her work bag, which just means she'll go from memory.
"It's not the countenance of a man nor the height," she begins. "But the heart."
And then Russell Wilson's mother begins to speak of the difference between fact and truth. The fact that her son, the Seahawks' quarterback, stands short of 6 feet does not define the truth of his abilities. And the fact her husband was once feared brain dead did not override the truth he walked out of a hospital on his own and was able to see their oldest son married and the youngest one drafted before he passed away.
"The Lord does not look at the things people look at," the verse from Samuel continues. "People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
And then Russell Wilson's mother puts her own words to that message, delivering it in a honeyed Virginia accent you could listen to all day long, even as her eyes flash the resolve she and her husband passed along to their three children.
"Don't be defined by what other people say," she says.
And right here you begin to understand how her son has come to shine in Seattle.
(Excerpt) Read more at seattletimes.com ...
He's a top bloke.
Thank you for posting this. LOVE my HAWKS! Am so surprised at what we have in Wilson. My Mom and I were high fiveing quite a bit last night!
Dangruss! Love him!
Seahawks, the most dangerous team in the NFL!
Wilson is a beast. A man of great character. I am amazed at how many dedicated men of God are pro-football atheletes. Wilson, RGIII, Tebow, half the Packer's team, and many, many more.
I think the Seahawks will be in the Super Bowl.. Right now they have the momentum..
As Husker I am still hurt at what he did to us last year (not to mention what the Badger did this year), but it's good to hear about his faith. It's always comforting to hear about these kinds of figures standing strong with the Lord. And I was especially happy they beat the 49ers, for no other reason than it is the San Francisco 49ers.
Video highlights here
And he turned down a $1 million offer from the Baltimore Orioles to pursue playing football.
He'll have to go through the ATL if he wants to get to the SB.
Let him get 10 years as a top-tier QB through personnel, coaching and system changes.
This sounds too much like Tebow-mania to me.
It is always ridiculous that someone has a good run and is crowned "the Next Big Deal." Even more ridiculous it happens EVERY year.
Right now Atlanta is struggling.. In today's NFL the team the has the hottest streak now tends to make it to the Super Bowl.
I suspect that Denver or New England will be in, most likely Denver, but the Seahawks will be hard-pressed to win playoff games on the road. I think Atlanta, Green Bay, or SF would take them at their home. But you never know in sports. Turnovers and a few big plays can make all the difference. It would be huge if the Seahawks win their final home game and Arizona comes up with a miracle at Candlestick so that Seattle wins their division. How big was that victory in which the temp refs gave one to Seattle with the blown call?
Atlanta is struggling? 34-0 beatdown of the Giants and a beating to the Lions Monday night. Matt Ryan's QBR is above 142 the last 2 games.They are playing as well as anybody.
Russell Wilson? Overcoming the odds? He's a good story but he was still a third round pick.Compare that to Kurt Warner(undrafted) who never got a chance till he was 28 bounced around as backups and then went the arena league.
A little different than Tebow. This kid can scramble and actually throw really well. Don't know that he will make it to the top tier, but he is dedicated, disciplined, smart, has good mechanics, and is a quick learner. Brady, P. Manning, and Rogers are really in a class of their own.
Kurt Warner's story was remarkable.
He and the Seahawks sure kicked the snot out of my 49ers. Wow!
The 49ers were coming off an emotional win the week before. It was easy to see a letdown. They were missing there best defensive lineman in Justin smith. They played 92 snaps defensively compared to an average of 62 the week before. They were clearly tired. It was a great win for the Seahawks but I wouldn't count out the 49ers yet. Although there passing game is of serious concern now
Seattle will be hard pressed to beat the 9ers at Candlestick but SF met a monster defense last night. It was amazing to see how the Seattle defense stopped Gore (Frank, not Al) and held the SF running game to 82 yards.
Fellow disappointed Husker: I honestly believe that if we don't beat a very good Georgia team in the upcoming bowl game, that Pelini has got to be dismissed. If we do beat Georgia, I might reconsider—it's just that we have yet to beat a great football team in the Pelini era. We've had many opportunities and apparently can't get beyond mediocrity.
We Huskers are spoiled, and mediocrity on a Terry Donahue-type level (9-4, 10-4 seasons etc) is just NOT OK.
We need to return to prominence and legitimately be in the National Championship calculus on a regular basis. The program is still so storied and powerful, but we've lost the mystique we used to command (though I admit OU and two of the Florida teams used to give us fits fairly regularly!)
Hope the Huskers can beat the Dawgs. If not, Pelini loses any remaining credibility he may have had. Our players are just as good as the Bama/Oregon/Notre Dame-level players and with excellent coaching, they should be able to play and win championships again. Pelini hasn't extracted that potential to-date at all, and if he can't kick some ass against Georgia, I've definitely had enough of him (and his ridiculous tantrums as well).
This guy is the real deal. He's no Tebow. He reminds me of Fran Tarkenton. The Seahawks are scary. They demolished SF last night and, in power rankings, SF was considered tops in the NFL.
No axe to grind here. I'm an Eagles fan.
They demolished the last 3 team they've played. The first one could have been considered a fluke, the second an accident, the third? Time to start paying attention.
I was going to ask if he attended Charlottesville High or even Western Albemarle, but from his bio, I see he went to a prep school in Richmond. UVA should have snagged him, but NC State always does a better job of recruiting in central VA. It's always great to see a new generation of Christians rising to positions of leadership.
Amen brother. The question I would have, is who to replace Pelini with? I am still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. After all, Osborne didn't win his first national championship until late in his career. I agree talent wise, however, I also get a bit angry that we aren't attracting top talent to Lincoln. But coaching is king. We must develop the talent we have, and we need great assistant coaches to do this. Actually, it's kinda like the current conservative movement. We all want instant gratification, but it takes a long time. At times, that's how the left has done it. Slow.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year fellow Husker. GO BIG RED!!!
Yep, Tarkenton was my first thought, particularly the way he keeps turning direction and giving ground to buy time.
Wilson actually reads defenses and completes passes. 150 points in 3 games. Yeah it's just his rookie season, but so far he's looking pretty darn good.
"men of God are pro-football atheletes...half the Packers team,"
That doesn't mean Bears fans can't hate them! ;>)
And they'd better beat Minnesota Sunday!
I can see how Tom O'Brien was fired from NC State. He actually him off the team. As a Spartan, too bad that happened and he ended up at Wisconsin.
Not many under 6 feet tall quarterbacks in the NFL.
If you haven't watched Atlanta that's how they have played all season, aside from 2 weeks ago when they blew the roof off of the Super Bowl champs. So to say they are "struggling" is not correct, they win and they win close games. Seattle will have to go on the road to get to the Super Bowl, no home field support.
If Seattle wins last game and 49ers lose, they would play a home game if they meet the 9ers.
Not many under 6 feet tall quarterbacks in the NFL.
There was Doug Flutie and Jerry Rhome (QB at my HS); and probably Tarkington and Theisman.
I believe I heard one of the guys calling the Seattle/SF game say that Wilson had told someone questioning his height that if he was 6'4" he still wouldn't be able to see over the defensive linemen and linebackers who are 6'7 or 6'8". I thought that was a great retort by Wilson.
Tarkenton was listed as 6'0 or 6'1, Rhome 6'0 and Theismann 6'0. Like I stated, not many under 6' tall NFL QBs.
Time will tell.

What Dawson saw Sunday from Traina wasn't the SEC Pitcher of the Year's "A game."
What she and Alabama got was a two-hit, complete-game shutout that sent the Crimson Tide to its eighth consecutive NCAA Super Regional with a 6-0 victory over South Alabama.
"Her lower-level games could still beat a lot of people," Dawson said. "I wouldn't say she had her best game. She was missing a little on the outside, but she'll find a way."
Alabama (53-7), the No. 2 overall seed in the NCAA tournament, will host Michigan (42-15), which downed Louisville on the Cardinals' home field Sunday, for a best-of-three series next weekend at Rhoads Stadium. Game times have yet to be determined.
The Big Ten champion Wolverines and Crimson Tide have seen each other on a number of occasions in recent years, the latest coming when they split two games in 2010.
"It will be fun to get to see them again," Alabama coach Patrick Murphy said. "I know that they will have a great team."
Traina didn't have to be great for Alabama to get past South Alabama for a second consecutive day, but she was certainly close enough to it.
The sophomore ace allowed singles by Haley Hopkins and Brittany Fowler in the second and fourth innings, respectively, and saw just one runner reach scoring position. The Jaguars never put a runner on third base.
For the second consecutive game, Traina struck out 10, the final three coming when she struck out the side to end the game.
"She's incredibly competitive," South Alabama coach Becky Clark said. "When she gets on the mound, she does a great job of knowing her job and what she has to do. Nothing really rattles her or veers her away from that."
Not even when she's getting squeezed or lacking her best stuff.
"She's just that kind of strong pitcher that no matter what the strike zone is like, she's still going to find a way to throw to them and get the outs," Dawson said. "That's what's amazing about her. She's so mentally solid."
Alabama used its speed on the base paths and timely hitting to pick up single runs in the first, second and third innings before doubling that total in its final at-bats.
Alabama stole five bases through the first 2 1/3 innings, prompting Clark to swap catcher Alex Breeden out for Hopkins. By then, the damage was done.
Centerfielder Jennifer Fenton slapped a one-out single in the first inning, stole second and scored on shortstop Kaila Hunt's RBI double. The RBI was Hunt's 70th of the season -- the second-best single-season total in Alabama history -- and her 19th in the last nine games.
Keima Davis, running for first baseman Cassie Reilly-Boccia, stole second, advanced to third on a sacrifice fly and scored on second baseman Danae Hays' single to give Alabama a 2-0 lead in the second inning. Pinch-runner Danielle Richard basically did the same one inning later and scored on a Reilly-Boccia RBI single.
"We did not want to give up an out," Murphy said. "Instead of a sacrifice, I thought that we could steal second. We had some really good pinch-runners do a really good job."
Fenton's two-run double down the left field line scored Jadyn Spencer and Kayla Braud in the sixth inning. Fenton scored Alabama's final run on an RBI single from Traina.
"That was a huge inning," Reilly-Boccia said. "Just to show that even though it was hot and the end of the weekend, we still came ready to hit late in the game."
Jaguars ace Hannah Campbell took the loss, her 12th of the season. She lasted just 1 2/3 innings while reliever Katy Neal worked the rest of the game.
The loss wrapped up South Alabama's 41-17 season, its best in the six-year history of the program.
"In a way it's a loss, but the majority of the season was a big win for us as a program," Hopkins said. "As a whole, we can all say that this year has been a win in a lot of ways. It's a good feeling in a way."

My guess is it's a lot easier, since we can't examine miracles from thousands of years ago as well as we could examine any claimed miracle today.

How come you don't believe in modern miracles?
Why should I?
Trolling and making valid arguments are not mutually exclusive
JonWood007 3 years ago#33
Do you know how messed up it sounds to not believe in modern day miracles, but to accept supposed miracles from a prescientific age? IMO, the lack of miracles in the 21st century implies that many of the old miracles may have been misinterpreted or exaggerated or made up. Why would God reveal himself in an age in which there were no scientific standards to measure such miracles, yet he won't reveal himself today when we could easily prove his miracles if they were indeed miracles? God could just go take the james Randi challenge and prove himself.

Hence my whole "it's a lot easier for him to justify" argument.
It's easier for him if all the claimed miracles are locked away in the past and he doesn't have to explain the lack of them today.

At anyrate, id rather be wrong about science than be wrong about God. God made science. I know that is hard for you to comprehend. And you will say some slick cliche statement about it trying to make me look dumb/bad. But I just dont care. I know where im going after i die. I know Jesus loves me and he loves you too. Have you ever thought about asking jesus into your heart? Jesus performs miracles you know.
The only cliche statement I see is you completely avoiding having to think about anything I said.
Before all else you must build muscle. Then you must become hero to children everywhere.

do you think its real or does the priest pull a lighter out of somewhere?
The Israeli police search the patriarch before he goes into the Tomb of Christ to make sure that he doesn't have any fire-starting equipment on him.
From: OrangeWizard | #007
" every year the day before Orthodox Easter, an unlit blue fire from a stone in the Church descends from the dome and ignites a candle held by the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church in Jerusalem."
People report seeing the blue flame before the patriarch comes out all of the time. I was in Jerusalem for it this year and I have a candle here in my room that received the flame, but unfortunately the Israeli soldiers treated us very badly when we were waiting to be let down to get into the Sepulchre and wouldn't let us through even though we had been there for 17 hours. We tried to join the patriarch's entourage as he walked past, but everyone got the same idea as us and it started a massive brawl between the Greek/Palestinian clergy and the Israeli officers.
"Pilgrims let the flames touch their hands as the Holy Fire supposedly does not burn those who come in contact with it."
People have been known to bathe their beards in it without catching fire.
From: JonWood007 | #003
In 2005 in a live demonstration on Greek television, Michael Kalopoulos, author and historian of religion, dipped three candles in white phosphorus. The candles spontaneously ignited after approximately 20 minutes due to the self-ignition properties of white phosphorus when in contact with air. According to Kalopoulos' website:
This doesn't explain the spontaneous igniting of pilgrims' candles as well with perfect timing, especially when they've owned their candles for days and not put white phosphorus anywhere near it (and since white phosphorus is a toxic substance, that much igniting in a crowded area would almost certain have led to some sort of accident in the 1300 years [at least] that this phenomenon has been occuring).
Either way, the thing that I've realised is that with all their resources and espionage skill, the Israeli government KNOWS whether or not this is real or fake. Either they know it's real and don't care about the implications that a genuine miracle being performed by God for the Christians has for them, or they know it's fake and continue to profit off the tourist revenue that it brings by helping perpetuate it. Either way, they end up looking bad.
NoTitleRequired 3 years ago#37
Also, there is a pillar immediately outside of the Sepulchre that has a massive crack in it and which, from what I saw and smelled of it, continually weeps myrrh. The origin of the crack, from what I've read, is that in the very late sixteenth century, the Armenian patriarch's followers locked the Orthodox patriarch out of the Sepulchre and tried to get the flame by themselves (which didn't work), and while the Orthodox patriarch outside the Sepulchre prayed, a bolt of lightning hit the pillar, causing the crack, and spat flames off which lit his candle.

I've seen videos of the latter (which I'm finding difficult to search for at the moment), and I've personally heard multiple independent testimonies of the former from people I know (which obviously isn't good enough here).
This doesn't explain the spontaneous igniting of pilgrims' candles
I know a woman to whom it happened, and I also did see a video of an interview on a Greek TV show where a clip of it was shown which I'm trying to find at the moment (not the white phosphorus debunking video).
Wandering__Hero 3 years ago#40
Modern Day miracles are the ones we can apply disgression to, as they are the ones we can test and verify with our own eyes. I dont think you would want us to stop questioning those, as it opens the backdoor for all kinds of crap.
I'm also all for testing, scrutinising and examining any "miracle" before us, because when we remove the fakes it will make the real miracles seem so much better.

Two Massachusetts officials in charge of spending federal stimulus money in the Bay State went to Washington to get advice from Vice President Joe Biden. The longtime senator's sage suggestion?
Spend it wisely. Especially if you'd like to see some more one day.
It's a good thing they made the trip.
The state's stimulus "czar," Jeffrey Simon, and Housing and Economic Development Secretary Greg Bialecki met with Biden and other federal and state officials on how best to spread around the state's share of stimulus money, which totals $787 billion for the whole package.
We've got some ideas about how to use the money judiciously. First, ask a very basic question: Is money spent today going to provide something tangible tomorrow? Will there be jobs that otherwise wouldn't exist? Will something that is falling apart see much-needed improvements? In short, will expenditures of stimulus funds be stimulative?
State officials have a real opportunity here to steer the funds in directions where they will do the most good.
As the stimulus bill was making its way through Congress, it gathered a little of this and a whole lot of that and some of something else altogether. In the end, it was a titanic beast, an incomprehensibly mammoth package. But much of it wouldn't provide real stimulus at the time when that was needed most: Right now.
That's where state officials come into play. The folks who live and work in Massachusetts, who drive along the state's pothole-ridden roads, across its rusty bridges - they should know best what needs an influx of cash immediately.
As the bill was being assembled in Washington, we had real concerns about how it was being handled. Those worries remain - in full. But there is at least a bit of hope that Simon and Bialecki will be able to provide some direction about how the money can best be used.
They should heed Biden's advice to spend it wisely, but not because that might get them more federal money. They should spend it wisely because doing so is both necessary and proper.

Q for Ian: Ultimate speed board for 104 kg
View Single Post
7th November 2007, 12:53 PM
Ian Fox
Join Date: Aug 2006

Hi Dian,
While I would still rate the iS50 as the ultimate iSonic for true speed use by big and bigger guys 25-30+ kts, I have to rate the iS76 as the most practical speed board for bigger guys wanting an "easy" ride to 40 kts on the speed strip.
There is absolutely no doubt that this new board has a lot of potential to be very fast, and inherently any "oversize" issue (c/w smaller pure speed boards in these conditions) is minimised by bigger guys who know how to put the power down hard...
A 2 size M-S combo to take a heavy rider all the way would be TR3/TR4 5.9 + 5.1m
On the other hand, if you're fully into 25-30+ winds and going for 40 kts board speed, a single TR5.5m would be a great one size option, and fully capable to take iS76 to 40 kts and beyond. The board and sail/s in these sizes for speed use would be remarkably rangy - and use of "minimal" equipment is really practical for some great results.
Obviously tuning fins down accordingly is also a good move; stock 32cm is above "par" for production, but obviously for pure broad reaching / Vmax fin sizes around 26-28 cm (2cm less if heavily raked) are a more ideal option for pure hi speed runs 40+.
Cheers ~ Ian

Ashley Judd details
horrendous home life in book
Ashley Judd offers a sad, sobering look into the home life of her famous family in her new memoir, "All That Is Bitter & Sweet."
"She (mother Naomi) and my sister (Wynonna) have been quoted as saying that our family put the 'fun' in dysfunction. I wondered: 'Who, exactly, was having all the fun?'" she wrote in excerpts obtained by Radar Online.
Judd says that although her mother led her father, Michael Ciminella, on to believe he was the father of Wynonna, it was actually another man, Charlie Jordan.
Judd wrote "there was always marijuana inside the house" and that her dad "was prone to taking hallucinogenics with friends on Saturday nights."
When she was a toddler, her parents' marriage dissolved, and Naomi Judd had a new man move in with them, one Ashley Judd describes as an "abusive full-blown heroin addict with a criminal record."
Sheen plays to the crowd,
which loves him in Cleveland
Tuesday night was a definite win for Charlie Sheen.
The one-man tour received a a standing ovation in Cleveland. Appearing in an Indians jersey probably didn't hurt.
It also probably didn't hurt that he played a Cleveland Indians player in the two "Major League" movies.
The audience backed Sheen when he said he wanted to return to "Two and a Half Men," from which he was fired last month after lambasting the show's co-creator, Chuck Lorre, in several bizarre interviews.
Sheen even said he'd be willing to apologize to CBS, Warner Bros. and Lorre, joking that he's a good enough actor to fake sincerity.
Further buttering up the audience, Sheen also compared his ex-wives to LeBron James, the NBA star who famously jilted Cleveland and joined the Miami Heat last year.
Hayes cast in Stooges movie
Remember when the Farrelly brothers' Three Stooges movie was going to feature Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn and Jim Carrey?
Turns out, they're aiming a little lower now. OK, a lot.
Will Sasso (best known for "Mad TV") and Sean Hayes (ditto for "Will & Grace") will play Curly and Larry. Yet to be cast is Moe, although we're fairly certain it won't be Del Toro.
Finally, a much-needed
sequel to 'Bill and Ted' films
And, because clearly this is all anyone has been wondering about, we can safely say that, yes, there is going to be a third "Bill and Ted" movie.
Keanu Reeves confirmed to MTV that a long-gestating sequel to "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" and "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey" is on its way, with a draft of a screenplay nearly finished.
The film takes up when ... oh, who cares?
