Back-to-Back Championship Wins - Page 2
On Sunday, in Ogden, another hometown runner earned a national title. Lindsey Anderson, a 2008 Olympian in the steeplechase, won both her first XTERRA title and her first-ever trail race. She covered the 21-kilometer course in 1:33:23, just over one minute ahead of Salt Lake City's Kerri Lyons, who finished second in 1:34:27. Amber Moran of Asheville, North Carolina, finished third in 1:38:53.
"I've trained on trails before, but this was my first race," says Anderson. "My coach told me to try this race and it was great."
In the men's race, King took the lead midway through the course, which he covered in 1:22:12 to defend his title. He finished just over a minute and a half ahead of runner-up J. Marshall Thomson of Crested Butte, Colorado, who crossed the line in 1:23:48. Salt Lake City's BJ Christianson finished third in 1:24:29.
King says he did not specifically alter his training to handle the back-to-back efforts.
"The general flow of training tends to simulate days like this," he says. "A long day on the weekend followed by a fast short workout on Monday, for example."
Complete results of the XTERRA Trail Run National Championship can be found here.

Application Early-Warning System
Most IT teams are responsible for at least one non-Web-based business application that must be available pretty much 100% of the time, and by "available" we mean it doesn't take 10 seconds to refresh a screen. Think about a back-end inventory database that salespeople and partners depend on; it's extraordinary that many IT shops are still in the position of not knowing performance is tanking until the help desk lines light up. And if you can't proactively monitor mission-critical applications hosted in-house, you're going to be in worse shape if (or when) they start migrating to IaaS vendors.
It's relatively easy to scrutinize the storage, database, middleware and application servers that host an application. But while background monitoring of these and other infrastructure metrics has its place in application monitoring, it's not enough if IT wants to get out of the business of manually hunting down problems and into the business of innovation. We need better early warning of problems, better root-cause analysis, an ability to keep tabs on systems hosted externally and ideally the ability to automatically head off performance glitches.
In this report, we'll dig into the substantial logistical challenges of using synthetic transaction monitoring to inspect applications, beyond websites, and look ahead to what's happening with cloud vendors. (S5971012)

See Mother Teresa: to help people die well. But the other side of dying well, the other side of the human development of virtue at this time, and integration, is the spiritual side: that we prepare to meet God. It's not a preparation for nothingness.
Excellent: dead is not just a medical event, it is a most human event. Pope John Paul II, near his death, said 'I have been preparing for this moment my whole life'.
Or the role of philosophy is to die well.
The atheist Susan Sonntag died like an animal, according to her son.
The relationship between Jesus and Mary and Joseph was perfect.
We can see that the moment of death is the most critical: this is the critical moment in the Life of Jesus. And in the Hail Mary we say 'Pray for us, now and at the hour of our death'.
It does create distance between us and this world, which is healthy. It shows us that we are not immortal in this world. (Jesus: 'My Kingdom is not of this world'.) But it doesn't mean we are not immortal.
Death at any time was the same: an ultimate challenge to the person.
'Being dead a long time' - no, we are immortal souls in dying bodies.
To die well is to die in the arms of God. To look forward in reality to Heaven.
Pope John Paul II showed the world how to die well.
How can we kill the unborn then?
You should be anxious about Heaven: what comes after dying is the question (cf Hamlet). Are we ready to meet God?
Islamic Medical Association of North America - Hofstra Ethics Symposium "End of Life Issues: Ethical and Religious Perspectives"
no reflections per se. just wanted to draw your attention to a conference whose proceedings are published at
and recordings are available at
As a Catholic, we look at the Crucifixion of Jesus for understanding about how to die well. Jesus indeed fulfilled his life's purpose with his death. But he also knew he would rise.
To one in the Lord, death is called, in the Bible, 'falling asleep', our brother who has 'fallen asleep'.
But with the aging population, this is topic was very helpful and important.
Death, though is a bad thing, though it can be used for good, as in redemptive suffering.'
What then do you think of the euthanasia people?
No one immortal. Not by medicine. But as we are made, and given by God.
Without God, death is a complete disaster, no matter what. The impossibility of possibility. But we need to use it to be prepared to live more fully with God.
Why is this program assuming atheism?
A relative of mine had a beautiful death. She had fallen at age 88, and broken her hip. In the next two weeks she had two heart attacks, had gone to a nursing home and then back to the ICU unit, it was two weeks later. She had gotten the Last Rights and forgiveness.
On Thursday her cousin, a nun, and I had planned to go to visit her, but she called me and we went on Wednesday instead. We got there at 9:30 in the morning. Our other family members, that live closer, had been in and out, but none were there then. We said hello in her ear, and started to pray the Rosary. She was consious, but not able to respond, and knew we were there. At 9:35 the nurse came in to tell us she was dying.
I saw a man walk by, and he was the deacon, so he came in and we prayed around her. And in ten minutes she had died. As I stood by her bedside, I saw a light come through the wall on the left, it was if the wall wasn't there. It was the softest, gentlest light, and it lasted about two minutes. It was Mary and God taking her soul to Himself.
That is a good death.
'Death lays bare the spiritual condition of man' - very good. Those who fight God all their life have more trouble facing him at that moment.
St. Gianna Molla's life tells us that, to quote a biography, that 'there are joys and loves in life that are so strong that they persist and are stronger than suffering and death'.
As one priest said, 'Who wants more of this?' We hope for a new heavens, and a new earth.
It will, but most of the world dies without medicine, most die the way the people around Mother Teresa died. And she helped them to die well. As one woman said to her, 'I've lived like an animal, but I'm going to die like a saint.' She was prepared for death.
After death, according to Catholic doctrine, one's soul leaves time and space and one stands before God and is judged in the particular judgement.
Philophy has been called the study of how to die well. So in saying we're not prepared for death is to say we're not a wise culture, and need to become more wise.
That's why God gave us AIDS, and illnesses: to bring us to truth.
(Those who kill the unborn or the aged are not pro-life.)
"My Kingdom is not of this world." Jesus.
Of course, as your guest states, we don't just blithely say that we look forward to heaven. We have to 'work out our salvation in fear and trembling'. That is, to prepare for death and judgement.
What aout the elderly dieing with dementia, loosing who they are - how do we help them "die well"?
My mom is at the end stage, she is loosing her abilities to speak, to eat, how do I help her? Is it okay to talk about dieing with her? I do read to her, i tell her I love her, I see her as often as I can at her long term care home ....but as she declines....I am not sure how to help her "die well"
I have had a great sense of healing in my time with her in this stage of life, but as I see her becoming less and less connected I am not sure what to do, how can I help her at this stage? Perhaps just being there, holding her hand, reading, I am not sure....how do we address her dieing? Is it okay to talk about it? I don't want her to die without being at peace about it.
Annie- Yes- Do talk with your
Annie- Yes- Do talk with your mother about dying-knowing she is listening and understanding on some level. Talk to her, be with her and just love her where she is now. Being with someone-giving presence- is a comfort. If he found comfort in a religious ritual you may want to arrange that- anointing, blessing etc. You ssid you have had a healing at this stage in her life so good things are happening. Peace to you.
Hi Annie, I think different
Hi Annie, I think different people will define "dying well" differently. For many, though, I think it means having one's choices honored, and having a loving and compassionate witness for this sacred transition. At the simplest level, it could be thought of as just being present with them: that is the greatest form of love, perhaps?
As the dying shift from connection to others and towards an interior state near the end, it may seem that they're unaware of our presence. Personally I (and many others) feel that at some level they know we;re with them, and it's just as important, I think, that WE know we're with them. You can ask your Mom if she'd like to talk about what's going on, or you can begin to talk about it a little bit and see how she responds. She may want to or she may not need to. Expressions of love and gratitude and peace, and smiles and tears, may be enough.
It's so beautiful that you have been able to heal during this time together, and that you and she get to share this time together. Deep compassionate bows and smiles to you both :) _()_
Yes, Annie, being there,
Yes, Annie, being there, reading aloud to her, holding her hand. Warming her feet.
Yes, by all means share your day. Let her know how her life, well lived, has brought you this far. Lift up her life, glorify it by being determined to live your days in her grace.
Tell her how you continue to do so. Kindest regards, Sara.
I would just suggest that one invite God into this most difficult time. One does not remove any part of it by doing so, except one adds hope. And God wants to be present at these important events (and is there, even if not acknowledged).
Is there any way that we can get the people who accuse President Obama and the Democrats of creating "death panels" to understand the concepts that Dr. Byock presented?
I would really like to send this show to my friends and family, but your website tells me to use a valid email address even after I have done so. Is there something wrong with this function on your site? If not, please
me instructions.
I really appreciated this interview. Dr. Byock mentions the "illusion of immortality" in the interview. If we see an identity for ourselves and others that continues beyond death, might we rather see mortality as the illusion?
Mortality is, indeed, in my
Mortality is, indeed, in my view, the illusion, but knowing that death is no more lethal a passage than birth doesn't make it less daunting for most and it cannot be embraced if it's denied.d if it is denied.
As my mother's hospice caregiver, I found myself advocating for her to return to my sister's home and to transition there. Once the doctor agreed and released her to my care, I spent the next week with her, and am writing a book on how much we were able to heal in that time. My mother and I did not have a great, close relationship, but before she flew away, we were able to travel across the tundra of our lives and form a bond. I miss the woman and friend I met that week. I look forward to seeing her again.
I was truly touched and impressed with the ideas, thoughts, and words of Dr. Ira Byock. The subject of death is generally one which most people prefer to avoid—even in the most dire, inevitable situations. I believe this man, and those who support him, have a very honest, honorable, and compassionate message to offer to humanity as a whole. As was mentioned in the interview, death is not something easy that we look forward to in times of quiet introspection and self-assertion. Regardless of who I was or what I've done in this life, the moment will eventually be present when I have to come to terms with the inevitable fact that I am going to die, and that is difficult for more reasons than just the journey into the unknown frontier of afterlife. Naturally, people will fight; we will grip tightly to life—all that we have ever known, experienced, learned, and loved. However, at the end of every natural progression of life, is death, and I feel strongly that people would only benefit from a medical staff, a spiritual council, a society that is educated and empathetic—as best they can be, having never actually died—to what we are immediately facing which goes far deeper than just ceasing to exist in this body. I think that there could not be anything more supportive or compassionate than being surrounded by people who are truly thinking about what is important in what could possibly be our last moments. I feel like Dr. Byock could not have chosen a better set of 11 words to sum this up. "Please forgive me. I forgive you. Thank you. I love you." I cannot think of anything residing in my heart of hearts that would not be expressed satisfactorily in a conversation focused on the meaning behind these 11 words.
Perhaps the most impressive detail about this interview to me was how inclusive the application of these ideas is to all people. When I look at life, and all that separates us and makes us different, only childbirth and death stand out as being events that remain pure and unaffected in their significance by any standards, circumstances, or experiences of human society. Compassion and understanding for others in times of joy and especially sadness are emotions that for some reason have become rare, if not obsolete, for so many. Starting, or rather jumping on board, with a new wave of people in professional or social environments setting the example of how to lovingly guide people to a path—inevitably leading to death—littered with expressions of forgiveness, gratitude, and love could be infectious to the point of pandemic. I cannot imagine anything better than finding peace within my heart and knowing that I left that example behind for those who were there with me on my way out of this world. And that, is the very opportunity I believe people like Dr. Byock are providing and working to establish within the hearts of people everywhere. This interview, and all the ideas therein, is something I am not soon to forget, and I am thankful for having had the opportunity to hear it.
I am a devoted listener to your program. I thank you for your show with guest, Dr. Ira Byock. I am a critical care physician who developed and continue to grow a palliative care program in Lincoln, NE. Your insightful discussions and Dr. Byock's message of promoting appropriate and common sense care are appreciated greatly. Our mission to promote quality and dignity at the end of life is definitely a nationwide mission. Your insight and perspective are deeply appreciated. Lisa I Mansur MD, FCCP
Listening to this broadcast gave me chills. It was a hauntingly beautiful thought that death is a part of life and it should be embraced rather than feared. Hearing how he discovered that he wanted to help people live with death was great to hear. It makes me think that we all could learn from this and that way no one will be devastated when they lose a loved one. The thought of death can be horrifying but this wise man reminds us that it doesn't have to be.
Dear Ms Tippett, After listening today to "Contemplating Mortality," I am moved to express my deep gratitude to you for your show and to share two brief stories. I listened to the show on my way to my dad's 79th birthday party. Since he has been living with lung cancer for the last 2-1/2 years, it is a miracle that he is still with us. We are blessed that he is comfortable at home with my mom, thanks to the local hospice service. I arrived at the party early, to be with my two sisters and our parents before everyone else arrived. During that time, my mother told me of her own recent (and still unfolding) diagnosis of cancer. Your program has given me a feeling of peace and courage to face what's coming. I will share it w/ my sisters and brother � it contains so much wisdom and compassion. I particularly love the insight that dying isn't medical; it's personal. This will help me be present to them as they dance with the unknown. The other story is the origin of a phrase that came to me about your show a while back. I am an avid listener -- particularly enjoyed John O'Donohue, Joanna Macy, Thich Naht Hahn, Ellen Davis, and Sylvia Boorstein. I am an architect and years ago, a colleague related a field trip he took as a student to a small, exquisite Frank Lloyd Wright house that is now a museum. It's called the Pope-Leighey House. At that time, it was a private home, and my friend met the widow Mrs. Leighey who still lived there. She told him, "Living in this house has made me a better person." That's how I feel about your show. Listening to your show has made me a better person. I am always so impressed by the quality of the conversation and your preparation -- and your respect and love for your guests. Bless you. PS The photo is my family at Easter a couple of years ago. My son is now 10.
I decided to listen to the podcast "Contemplating Mortality" and found it very interesting. I feel that many of the points were helpful and interesting. One point talked about death and made a point that people do not look forward to death. Also, they said that when we talk about death it is with a loving intention, rather that ill intentions. We all agree that we don't want our loved ones to die.
The next interesting point was that there is not an example of a perfect relationship in the history of our planet. In relationships we have hurt feelings and make mistakes. Because of this, the relationships have to learn how to heal and become even closer.
The last point talks about the four phrases that are most important in every relationship. These phrases are – please forgive me, I forgive you, thank you, and I love you. I truly believe that these phrases are very important and everyone needs to use them and hear them.
I absolutely loved this conversation with Dr. Ira Byock. He reminds me a lot of a doctor I used to work with at the hospital, he was kind and gentle and did not believe in people dying badly. I worked as a nursing assistant for 10 years on the hospice/oncology ward at the hospital, I started there when I was at the young age of 19. I remember first being terrified of all the death and dying that I saw, but I soon grew to love it. There is something special about Cancer patients, all of them, they always seem to have a positive attitude that rubs off on even the grumpiest of people. My friends used to ask me, "Mag, how do you do it? How can you stand to work with dying people?" I would say, "consider this, the labor and delivery nurses pride themselves on bringing lives into the world, I just happen to enjoy aiding lives out of the world in the most peaceful way I can." My goal in life is to finish up with my nursing degree, I am an LPN now and only allowed to work in clinics, and once I finish I hope to become an important part of the hospice program again. It is my life long dream. It is true what Dr. Byock says that dying is a developmental stage in everyone's life and dying well should be a goal on everyone's list. I have seen many families fight and many come together in these awful times. I have cried with my patients and I have cried with the families trying my best to listen and support them with whatever their needs are. Hospice is the most rewarding program that I feel the medical field has come up with, and I can only hope that it continues on this wonderful path of growing and getting people to go on hospice sooner than the day before they die, because the counseling that is involved with the program, at least the one I worked with, was extremely helpful to patients.
"getting people to go on
"getting people to go on hospice sooner...." I agree, Maggie. My mom, and I as her primary caregiver, would have benefited if we had gone under hospice care sooner. Instead, we (and all her physicians) remained in "curative mode" which led to a revolving door in and out of the hospital. It was as if no one wanted to be the one to initiate the idea of "palliative care" to us. It took a (well-done) bulletin board display on the floor of my mom's last hospitalization to finally introduce us to the concept (we had never heard the words before). So, my family learned the hard (slow) way, first time around. Next came my Dad five months later, followed by my step-father, another five months later. By then, we knew better how to navigate the "curative" vs "non-curative" tightrope.
As an oncology massage therapist, I find that I too am the type of person who occupies the space of "living on the edge". I am an explorer, and seem to find great meaning and peace when in the company of those who are transitioning from this life to another form. I appreciated what Dr. Byock shared about dying well and dying being another developmental stage. Dying provides opportunity for healing when individuals contemplate the impending "finality" of death as it relates to the physical relationship on earth. It provides an opportunity unlike any other in life. Healing can be tremendous.
Thank you for this beautiful and heart touching interview.
I hit the alarm this morning
I hit the alarm this morning and lay in bed awakening, becoming aware of how tired I was, when, unbidden, the inner voice spoke up: "I can't believe I'm going to die, and disappear, and the world
will go on without me, and it will be like I've never been. Unbelievable."
Me, me, me. Stuck in specificity, circumscribed by the narrowest of limits, tightly defined. That's the whole problem. That's where the pressure and dissatisfaction come from, and the anxiety, the fear. All your eggs in one basket. Always here, always now. Me, me, me, me, me. That's the beauty of teaching. I escape into the eyes of my students.
My father was diagnosed with
My father was diagnosed with Parkinsons. As his loss of mobility worsened, he and my mother did everything possible to accomodate his situation. When he could no longer drive a car, they got a golf cart to drive around their neighborhood. When he could no longer steady himself, he got a walker. I never heard him complain or blame God for his disease. He faced it with courage. I credit my mother a great deal for his good attitude. She was always encouraging him and finding new ways for them to enjoy the day, even when the day was not so good. Simple things like sitting in a parking lot, enjoying an ice cream and watching the cars go by. She always made him feel as comfortable as possible and made sure that he had things to do; things that gave him a feeling of accomplishment. I watched the love between them grow. Though privately there were tears, she never complained. When he passed in 2008, the family was blessed to be at his bedside. We held hands and prayed the Lord's prayer as he passed from this life to the next. My dad taught me much in this life, but it was through his disease that I learned of his true character. The NY couples comments at the end of this broadcast said it all. The gentleman said "these are not very romantic things to say, but they brighten up my heart". This was his comment to his wife asking him if he wanted more ice cream or reminding him to drink more water.The Valentines Day letter she read was priceless. It really comes down to the simple things in life and small gestures of love that mean the most.
I would expect the profound
I would expect the profound loneliness would be as bad as the pain. BUT, let's get our bucket-lists ready and make the best we can of this next part of our journey through life.
The end of life for me is the
The end of life for me is the beginning of life . Knowing that as a Christian, I know there is more then this, a belief in Heaven, where there are no more tears, only joy! To celebrate life daily is a gift! Living and enjoying each day! Yes, I miss my Mom, but knowing she is finally at peace, no more pain! What a gift!
Anyone interested in this
Anyone interested in this topic who wants more would do well to check out Stephen Jenkinson's work. His website is orphanwisdom.com, and he is best know for the documentary Griefwalker. His work will take you deep; it has much in common with what Dr. Byock has said here and I dare say it goes even further. Here is a taste:
I worry about us becoming
I worry about us becoming perfectionistic about death when I hear "die well". Us aging boomers got quite perfectionistic about the way we gave birth and I can see us becoming the same way about death. I do understand what Dr. Byock is talking about as I was a witness to some awful hospital deaths back in the 70's. I wonder if perhaps we should look forwards to having " singular deaths". Deaths that represent the singular lives which we have led.
When KPCC in Los Angeles area
When KPCC in Los Angeles area broadcast your program on Sunday at 3 p.m. I would listen faithfully. Then time was switched to 0 pm. and I don't listen to you at that time. Do you broadcast the program on your web site? I could then listen at my convenience.I miss hearing your beautiful voice and comments and the amazing guests with whom you interact.
Thank you so much. Caroline
Hi Caroline. We hear you loud
Hi Caroline. We hear you loud and clear. Unfortunately, we don't have much say in local public radio programming schedules. There are several ways you can listen to our shows at your convenience and availability: our website offers streaming + downloadable audio, and so does our email newsletter. And, in December we'll have a mobile app for your smartphone that will make it convenient and super-easy to listen to any show you'd like!
it's sad that people are put
it's sad that people are put thru dreadful "heroic" measures because family members and the docs want them - when family member's paramount goal - perhaps unconscious - is "we did everything we could" - clearly needs to sensitize more to how much they are torturing the person who is really the one in crisis.
My mother 'relocated to
My mother 'relocated to heaven' 5 yrs ago. She'd suffered a massive stroke and she had a Living Will which clearly stated she did not want to be kept alive by extraordary means/resuscitated. I am the youngest of 3 sisters- one of my sisters decided she would violate our Mom's wishes and kept her alive, ignoring her Living Will and her rights. Our Mom lingered for 9 long agonizing months until she (sister) felt it was ok to let Mom go. I knew my Mom did not want the inhumane way she was forced to remain 'alive'-She was a woman of faith and knew her ultimate desination would be heaven. Why would someone who also claims to be a believer, feel entitled to play God? The bottom line is that it is wrong for anyone to decide what is best for the person who is dying on the best way or the time to let go. It is simply selfish.
Work for an insurance company
Work for an insurance company where we are expanding Hospice and Compassionate Carre. I went through the dying process with a professor who was terminally ill with Breast Cancer over 20 years ago and it changed by like forever. Someone told me it was a privilege to have someone allow you to become close to them when they are dying it really was a privilege
Today's show reminded me of
Today's show reminded me of my mother and how she died. Just as Frank Lilley said on the show, I wanted to learn from my mother how to handle the process of dying and death. As I listened to and observed her in the weeks before she died, I took note of things she said. One night, I wrote a poem incorporating some of her words and phrases from poems that she and I remembered during that time. I read the poem to her as a way of letting her know what I was learning from her. I also read it at her memorial services.
Emily, like you, I did not stop for death
until it, kindly, stopped for me.
Six months to two years, the doctors said.
I opted for the latter
thank you very much.
For I had promises to keep
and miles to go before I went to sleep.
I did not rage against the dying of the light
(although, to be honest, at times I did.)
Courage and dignity and grace, like Papa
was my mantra.
At times, that cough kept aggravating me.
Teresa, do I have a cold?
You smiled, ruefully.
Lung cancer, I answered
to spare your having to reply.
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln
how were things?
Children, you pampered me
with strong coffee, fruit cobblers, and hugs.
Peavine, you raced in
and lay beside my bed.
Friends, family, you sent cards, flowers, paintings
and a song written just for me.
Julia, you called and told me to wait for you, up there.
Where else did you think I'd be?
That business of dying
I recommend it
but not highly.

I'd like to get a copy of the
I'd like to get a copy of the Franz Kafka poem that Ira Byock recited this morning. Do you have it available? Thank you.
You do not need to leave your
You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
- Franz Kafka
Did anyone get that Lily
Did anyone get that Lily Tomlin Quote mentioned on the show. It was great but I can't remember enough of it to use google since the inaccurate rumors of her death overwhelm the search results.
Forgiveness is hope in the
Forgiveness is hope in the future even in the face of our past, true hope in God, for whom all things are possible.
The 4 sentences you quote - reminds me of the last words of Jesus on the Cross. Also, at the end of each Hail Mary we pray 'pray for us now, and at the hour of our death'. The moment of our death is important and is a moment of grace, as Cardinal Cooke said. It is a time to find peace, to hand ourselves over to God.
"We'll be dead a long time" -
"We'll be dead a long time" - at the moment of death we stand before God to be judged. And then we have the opportunity to live with God, forever, to have overcome death.
We have found someone who is immortal - Jesus. And Mary. And the saints, who rise to life, not to death.
You might look at the child
You might look at the child Matty Stepanovich, who died at 14 or so of an illness, and who wrote a book called 'Heart songs'.
This show describes why I
This show describes why I love my job being a social worker in hospice - helping people to die well and helping families to navigate the coinciding process of grieving and healing. Being invited into families at this tender time - to hold space for memories and honor their lives and their choices moving forward - is such a privilege. It is often in dying that people learn about living.
Thank you for bringing awareness to something we will all experience, but so often do not want to delve into. Some listeners may also like this awareness campaign:
There are those of us who are
There are those of us who are going to die alone without having anyone who loves them intimately, without ever having received the kind of love your Story Corps stories celebrate, without family in the room wanting them to live or grieving them when they die. I came extremely close to dying a few years ago, and there was no one to say "Please forgive me" to, nor "Thank you", nor "I love you". One can die very well without any of that. I will die well, as I would have died then, because I love, not because I have been loved.
I see that I am commenting about a re-run. Well, I have listened to myself at least.
Mary, this show remains very
Mary, this show remains very much an active conversation. And I'd like thank you for adding to this discussion with your personal story, which, for me, carries a pang of truth and a host of delight. To love means action, and that is a deed all of us are capable of.
This was, again, another
This was, again, another wonderful, thought-provoking program. Ira Byock is a voice of reason urging us to maintain a balanced view between our faith in science and medicine and faith. There are times when I feel as if the medical/scientific communities are trying to put death to death. As much as we hate death and all that it does, undoes and takes away, it serves a purpose. Could we realistically live in a world where there were no death?
As a Christian, I must daily remind myself of what it so clearly and beautifully says in Ecclesiastes, that to everything there is a season, "a time to be born, and a time to die." Also, as it says in the Wisdom of Solomon, "The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them."
I have a good hunch that the ancients were on to something.
I have been the beneficiary
I have been the beneficiary of the "profound opportunity" associated with facing the death of my partner.
It was transformative and dare say I, spiritual, as well.

A beautiful and provocative
A beautiful and provocative segment. Life and death are indeed 'both sides now."
Thank you for this gift.
Beautiful show. It made me
Beautiful show. It made me think that being able to participate in the process of helping a loved one through this stage of existence helps relatives/friends/caregivers to eventually feel good about the event despite how difficult it might have been. In a way, participating becomes a blessing for the caregiver. I then thought about people whose loved ones die suddenly, tragically, alone, i.e., not "well" in the sense defined here? I know that was not the focus of this show, but the discussion made me wonder about the suffering for the living that comes with not able to be there, to help, to make things better. What is the healing balm (if any) for living with the feeling that you were not able to say I Love You, I Forgive You, Please Forgive me... that you had no chance to say Good Bye....
Thank you for this amazing show that pushes us to dig deeper within and without.
My late husband's oncologist
My late husband's oncologist recommended this podcast to me, I have not listened to it yet, but I know as my 38 year old husband was near the end of his battle with cancer it was my hope to surround him with love in his last days. He was so blessed to have so many visitors, including 4 different priests in those last days. One time he was even able to put his hands together and pray. That gave me a peace that I will never be able to explain in words. A peace that I knew he was ready and that God was ready to receive him. Also, a peace that while I was losing him on this Earth, he would always be a part of me and our children and that I would one day reunite with him for eternity.
While I was scared to lose him I never looked at his impending death as something to hide from, I faced it head on the entire time, because I know we all face it at some point and it does not do any good to be scared or tried to hide from it. Of course it is not what I wanted, I would much rather have him here healthy and helping me raise our 4 beautiful children, but I knew that was not to be and I wanted him to know, I was there, holding his hand, loving him, standing with him, until he took his last breath. I can only hope that when my time comes that I face it with the same brave face and welcoming heart as he did. For his strength and courage in those last days made me grow to love him even more.
Dr Ira starts with this quote
Dr Ira starts with this quote "Death is a developmental stage in life". What a profound statement and concept. So easy to say and understand, yet so difficult to accept and execute. In the end death is the final stage we can obtain from life and one that we will all face. We should be looking at death as a failure of the body and medicine, but not a failure of the mind and spirit. Another great quote is "We're all going to be dead a long time, why rush it?" I busted out laughing at this quote because is hits home; it goes straight to the heart of the issue. We all die and we stay that way for a long, long time. We are all born with the will to survive and when we die, it's personal because we are the only ones who experience it. I hope I can live my life for the living and not worry about death because if I only worry about death then I have missed life.
This show about Dr. Ira and
This show about Dr. Ira and his work on main streaming the idea behind death as being an embraceable life process and not one of failure of the body or medicine is a huge step for our society to accept.
Back decades ago, hospice wasn't even heard of. There were very few places that a person could die comfortably and without the feeling of abandonment. Dr. Ira worked on brining this old age way of thinking that death was a failure of the body and modern medicine and instead being a moment in life where one could reflect, rejoice and embrace the process before them.
I felt this is what is the ultimate goal in life; to die and be with your creator. That is the promise they give you no matter what you believe in. And if a person is spiritual, then the death process should be one of rejoicing and not of sorrow. But putting our human emotions in line with this idea is not only uncomfortable for the dying, but also for the living souls beside them.
We as a society have ingrained the importance of the physical world. We hang on to what we know and see. And even if we believe that there is happiness beyond, we still have sorrow of leaving our worldly things behind.
Unfortunately death has been
Unfortunately death has been a part of my life (as I'm sure a lot of can say) a little more than I would have liked it to this point. I've seen some family members on hospice care and it is not an easy thing to watch your loved ones go through their last phase of life. I also find myself telling myself to hold the time I get with my loved ones more sacred, to really take the time and make it a point to enjoy the time I have with them. Spend more time saying "thank you" or "I love you" so those people know how you feel instead of it just being interpreted because you are family. Unfortunately, and I have gotten better over the years at doing so, but I do find myself just going day by day not making it a point to make sure others know that I care. It is important that at that point when someone we love goes over that great divide we do not hold regrets for the time we did not spend with that person, or that we did not do a better job to show we care.
I think everyone can agree, but what this podcast cast was pointing out is that when something bad comes along, like a diagnosis, what really matters comes out and all that stuff on your iphone or blackberry takes a backseat (or anything else in the world). This is definitely true. When someone you care about so much is diagnosed or has something life threatening to them, nothing else in the world matters. All you want is more time with them, and for them to be okay. As the podcast states though, death is a part of life. Wanting more time is also a double edged sword too in a way; of course we are going to want more time, but we also really need to cherish this time so when death approaches our loved ones we know we spent all the time we could cherishing the moments we had.

Listening to this broadcast
Listening to this broadcast by Ira Byock on Contemplating Mortality was very touching. Having dealt with the death of my own mother a few years ago I can sincerely say that I wish I had heard this message prior to her end of life experience. So much is and can be done to prevent death that it still comes as a shock to people, even though death is one of the only "givens" in life.
His statement about death not being medical but personal is a wonderful way to look at the process. He also said that it's a "personal experience with serious medical needs". Coming to terms with mortality, whether it is our own or that of a loved one can be a traumatic experience. By embracing Dr. Byock's methods I think many people could travel through the process of death much easier.
I listerned to the podcast ''
I listerned to the podcast '' Contemplating mortality'' and found it very interesting. I was really impressed by the words,ideas and thoughts of Dr. Ira. Death is one of the subjects that we tend to avoid even inevitable situations. I believe that Dr.Ira has a honarable and compassionate message to offer to humanity in general. I understood from the interview that death is not something easy we look forward to in times quiet introspection and self-assertion. No matter what I have done or who I was in this life,the moment, a time will eventually come when I will have to come to terms with the inevitable fact that I'm going to die.
One of the most interesting point was that there is no perfect example of a perfect relation in the history of our planet. We have hurt feelings and make mistakes inthis thing called life. Naturally,people will fight and grip tightly to life and all we have known,learned,experienced and loved. I personally think that people will benefit most from a society that is well educated,medical community and a spiritual community . I think that there could not be anything more compassionate and more supportive than the group of people I mentioned above. The most impressive part of this interview to me was how Dr.Ira's Ideas are applicable to every human being. When I look at human life and what separates us and makes us different, only chidbirth and death stands out as events that never get affected by their significance experiences,standards and circumstances of the human society. Lastly, I learnt that, death can be very horrifying but Dr.Ira reminds us that it doesn't have to be.
Ira Byock is a prof of
Ira Byock is a prof of medicine at Dartmouth University and discusses "dying well". They talked about a lot and most of it was worthy of being mentioned in here, so I'll start by just listing the notes I took while listening:
Death is a failure of the body and medicine
In the 70's, hospice care was a social, counter cultural movement, it was not the norm.
Treat dying as a developmental time, a time of value in human life. Most of us have "medicalized" the end of life.
We should all attempt to "die well".
4 things that matter most - states of being:
Please forgive me
I forgive you
Thank you
I love you
It's easiest to say these when near the end of life or when there was a close call, like a car accident, because we are in the right frame of mind where none of the past matters.
Life threatening illness, injury makes buddhists of us all, we no longer feel immortal, it brings to light how our relationships are most important to us.
Love is stronger than death, death cannot take away love.
We have an unbelievable will to live, humans at the time of death are: vulnerable yet confident, insignificant yet meaningful, really the most real of any time in our lives.
Medical advances at some point work against the concept of dying well, as we're nowhere near making people immortal. Rather than being mentally and spiritually prepared and in a good state of mind, we hope or expect a cure to keep us living.
I really enjoyed listening to this. I would recommend anyone going through or who has a family member going through a serious illness to listen to this. What Byock talks about seems so simple and logical, yet put into real practice can seem so unattainable. He explains his views in a manner that makes the topic of dying almost calming, if that's possible. Having a father who has been battling (and winning thus far) stage IV lung cancer for the past 5 years, listening to this really added a calming perspective to dying and serious illness.
I found this discussion very
I found this discussion very interesting and I am glad I listened to Dr. Ira Byock's views on death. It is true that sometimes we can lose sight in the remarkable value we call life. Death is an experiences that is a profound value of life. We should not assume that its only about suffering or avoidance because it is a personal event that can be a transformative experience. Death can be a growing experience that can make us stronger.
Human development is a lifelong process which continues with death. Of course we do not want people to die, especially our loved ones, but death is an extreme moment in life where we are shaken free to express ourselves ultimately. The notion that life is coming to an end can be a powerful realization in one's self. A life threatening incident, as Dr. Ira said, turns us into "Budhists" and shows us how important we really are to each other.
The will to live is inherent in humans. We wish to defy death when we can. "We are utterly vulnerable and yet unshakably confident; Utterly insignificant and infinently meaningful". But even medicine, which used to be directed solely towards healing, now is also directed to ease the death process. I agree with what he says are the four sentences that is used easiest when dealing with death: Please forgive me. I forgive you. Thank you. I love you.
I would like to say that I have had my own experiences with the death of loved ones, and each one has changed me and molded me, essentially, to who I am today and what I strive to do. Death is definately an eye-opener.
When my mother passed away we
When my mother passed away we had such good spiritual support from her nurses and CNAs. It was amazing to be around all those nurses aids and have their support in my mother's final hours. I am glad I was able to start my career to be a CNA, like them, and provide that same support.
I listened to this podcast
I listened to this podcast for one of my college courses I am taking. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this podcast as it gave me a sense of relief or calm regarding dying.
Throughout the pod cast, Ira goes back to the statement "dying well", He explains this does not mean that you are well but rather you are content and accepting. To allow bygones to be bygones and accept the fact that death is part of life. He likes to consider death as a form of human development. From losing someone close, we experience many different things. From anger to sadness we learn to cope with the aftermath of losing a loved one. At the same time, the person who is experiencing death goes through the same emotions but can also die well. Ira brought up the notion that death has become more medicalized. We rely heavily on medicine to "save" us from the inevitable. (My words not his). He is all for medicine and helping save people's lives if possible but he also said that we need space between medicine and dying. A question that came to my mind was, can medicine get in the way of dying? Do we intentionally attempt to prolong one's life for the sake of not losing them?
The thing I found most interesting that Ira Byock brought up was what he called the four states of beings or four things that matter most. He best explained this using an example of being in an accident or nearly in an accident that should have taken life. You are more apt and open to picking up your phone and calling a loved one - the words easily come out and bring on a new meaning. The four states of being are: "Please forgive me", "I forgive you", "Thank you", and "I love you". The more I thought about these simple statements, the more I could see how they bring on a new meaning when faced with terminal illness or being on a death bed. You want to create a calm sense or peace; allow yourself to accept what is going on. At first I struggled with this. When someone dies suddenly you do not get a chance to say things you want to say or things that should have been said a long time ago. How do you cope with losing someone so suddenly? Do you ponder the should have, could have, would have? How do you get to tell them you love them or ask for their forgiveness? When it comes to someone who is able to prepare for death, you have the chance to speak these words. One of the last things Ira said in the interview was, "Listen to the inner life of people dying." He correlates this with the spiritual being. He speaks briefly of humans being simply beings lost in the black of space. We as humans seem to appear inherently spiritual as Ira states. If death is upon, take it with gratitude not with fear or anger. Death is something we cannot avoid. Although I am sure it is extremely scary and hard to imagine the fact that we should not be angry upon death but remember the good times in life and be grateful for the life you got a chance to live.

Posted on 07/04/2013 12:58:32 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
The attorneys monitoring the George Zimmerman trial differ on the final outcome. One believes there could be a powder keg going off if the jury delivers a not guilty verdict.
One of the attorneys for the parents of Trayvon Martin told the Florida Courier this week that he believes George Zimmerman will be found guilty.
Daryl Parks, who shares a law firm in Tallahassee with Benjamin Crump, also has been at the Zimmerman trial in Sanford since jury selection began two weeks ago.
He (Zimmerman) was following Trayvon. Was the amount of force justified? Prosecutors are proving it wasnt justified, Parks noted.
On Feb. 26, 2012, Zimmerman fatally shot 17-year-old Martin in a gated community in Sanford. Zimmerman is claiming self-defense in the shooting.
Parks said he was not upset that the judge ruled out letting experts testify during the trial over whether or not the voice on a 911 call was Martin yelling for help.
The layperson can identify the voice better, he remarked.
Response to lack of protests
Martins mother Sybrina Fulton was scheduled to take the stand as the Florida Courier was going to press to validate that it was her sons voice asking for help on the 911 call.
The world is watching this case. They are listening, Parks said when he was asked by the Courier if he was upset that Sanford residents and others have not been protesting outside the courthouse since the beginning of the trial.
We live in a different age, Parks added, noting that the TV ratings for the trial have been phenomenal with millions of people watching it every day.
Seminole County NAACP President Turner Clayton Jr. was quoted last week, saying that the so-called demonstration area that has been designated you will not see us protesting in that particular area cause no one tells us where to go, how long to stay, what to do, and what to say.
We are crusaders
Regardless of what happens during the criminal trial, Parks said they will be going after Zimmerman in civil court for monetary damages.
They are waiting for the results of the Department of Justice investigation into whether Martins rights were violated.
Daryl Parks
Parks said the Martin case is just one of many incidents where Blacks have been killed unjustly and he said their work for the voiceless will continue.
We are crusaders. There are all kinds of battles going on, he concluded.
Parks also told the Courier: Zimmerman said this guy threw the first punch.
Zimmerman has admitted he was on top. Was Zimmerman in fear of Trayvon? He was following him in the dark. Parks added that he believes Zimmerman may have been overzealous and attempted to hold Martin until the police arrived.
Another point of view
Attorney Ted Williams, who is based out of Washington, D.C and is a legal analyst for the Fox News show On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, was in Sanford this week to monitor the trial. Unlike Parks, he is apprehensive Zimmerman will be found guilty.
Considering what the prosecutors have presented and the witnesses they have called, Williams said, every witness the prosecutor has put and evidence presented helps the defense.
Im very concerned the defense is not going to put on a case, he declared, speaking to the Florida Courier on Monday.
Williams said what must be proven is that Zimmerman was the aggressor.
Williams added that if the prosecutors can prove Zimmerman approached Martin and touched him in any way, if there was any physical contact by Zimmerman, he could be seen as the aggressor and self-defense cannot be used.
Williams noted, I do believe there could be a powder keg going off (if there is a not guilty verdict.
Zimmermans profane words
Inside the courtroom this week, jurors got to hear Zimmerman tell his side through phone calls and video.
In a phone call with a police dispatcher minutes before he shot Martin, Zimmerman said offhandedly those (expletive) punks.
On Tuesday, that phrase became one of the most important of the trial so far.
Chris Serino, the Sanford police detective who led the homicide investigation, told jurors that when Zimmerman said it, that showed the Neighborhood Watch volunteer had ill will toward Trayvon.
Up to that point although they had put on more than six days of testimony prosecutors had failed to show one of the key elements they must prove to convict Zimmerman of second-degree murder: that the defendant acted with a depraved mind, hatred, malice, evil intent or ill will toward the high school junior from Miami Gardens.
Assistant State Attorney Bernie de la Rionda suggested that when Zimmerman called Trayvon a punk, he was profiling the teen as a criminal.
Zimmerman didnt say a word in court Monday but jurors spent much of the day hearing from him as prosecutors set about trying to catch him in a what Assistant State Attorney John Guy called a tangled web of lies.
The truth about George Zimmerman is going to come directly from his mouth and from the lies that he told, Guy had told jurors in his opening statement.
The struggle
On Monday, prosecutors played four statements Zimmerman gave to police one a video-recorded walk-through the day after the shooting.
In each, Zimmerman gave the same general story but some details changed, especially about what Martin said and what happened as they struggled on the ground.
In each, Zimmerman consistently maintained that he found Trayvon suspicious because although it was raining that night, Feb. 26, 2012, the Miami Gardens teen was standing in the yard of a Zimmerman friend whose home had been burglarized.
Zimmerman called police then followed Trayvon on foot, he said. He lost him so Zimmerman turned back toward his truck and was leaving, then the two came face to face.
There was a short exchange of words, Zimmerman said, then Trayvon punched him in the nose, knocking him to the ground. The teen then got on top of Zimmerman and began hitting him and slamming his head against the sidewalk, he said.
Accounts varied
In a statement he wrote for police that night, Zimmerman added, My head felt like it was going to explode.
But his accounts varied. He originally told police he was not following Zimmerman that he got out of his truck because he was trying to find a street sign to pass along better location information.
But in an interview three days later, Zimmerman said something different and was challenged: I wasnt following. I was just going in the same direction.
they also want to make it a crime to follow what one may consider a suspicious person.
What! But The Regime tells us to watch & report suspicious characters.
Of course, given his heritage, he might just move to Peru and give the one-finger salute to the United States of America and its civil courts.
They will lose.
I hope it costs them a lot of money to find that out.
Okay Parks, then start speaking about all the black on black murders in Chicago, Detroit, Philly, New York, Los Angeles, et al that happens every day. What? Got nothing to say about those hundreds of murders by blacks that happen every year? Didn't think so. You're a hypocritical POS, like all you race-baiters. You're a racist punk and will always be known as such.
Another threat that if "they" don't get the "right" verdict violence will occur.
Really? How in the hell did you get through law school and get accredited? Are you on the same planet as me? The prosecution has done nothing but make the case for the defense. Now it's the defense turn. When GZ is aquitted, hope your firm is the bulls eye of the rioters. You might actually learn some reality.
If George is found innocent, they won't see a dime.
Considering the amount of sympathy he has from a large number of Americans, I think he could just go the Tawana Brawley route. If they manage to get a civil judgement, he should just change his name, move out of state, and with help from some sympathetic allies, start a new life. Let these moneygrubbers try to track him down for the next couple decades in a vain attempt to collect their blood money.
Let 'em. I don't think OJ's paid a dime.
Does Zimmerman have "deep pockets"?
Ahem... "Affirmative action", maybe?
I don't know how they expect to get a big payday from Zimmerman. It's not like his family has a lot of dough to cough up.
"If Zimmerman was the aggressor, self-defense is ruled out." - Not so. If Zimmerman was the aggressor, and did not reclaim his innocence, then he would have an affirmative obligation to retreat if this was reasonably possible rather than defend himself with deadly force. As it is, the evidence that Zimmerman was the aggressor is weak, mostly that of a 19-year old ear-witness who lies easily. And, the evidence that Zimmerman had no reasonable avenue of retreat is overwhelming; namely, the eye-witness who saw Trayvon on top pummeling Zimmerman, corroborated to various extents by other residents, and by Zimmerman's injuries. Since the evidence that there was no reasonable avenue of retreat means it doesn't matter who was the aggressor.
They'll go after the company he worked for, the cities and counties involved, insurance companies, the state, the gunmaker, the ammunition company, media who didn't back them to the hilt, etc., etc.
Mr. Parks looks suspiciously like Rachel Jeantel without the Flintstones wig.
1. Not supervising their child after hours.
2. Not being concerned enough with their minor child to not be aware he is gone until the next morning.
3. Allowing their drugged up child to walk the streets unsupervised.
Since it would be a civil trail, all that evidence against TM that the judge disallowed should be admissible.
GZ should sue for pain and suffering because those two could take care of their troubled son.
My thoughts exactly. And I guarantee way more whites are murdered by blacks than vice versa, yet the media buries those stories. Infuriates me.
Columbia, SC mother of four slaughtered in hate crime
Police say thugs stormed into a kitchen and shot a Kelly Hunnewell. The thugs didnt steal anything, nor was there anything of value in the kitchen to steal. The perpetrators are three black males. The attack appears to be a random hate crime/thrill killing.
Other recent atrocities in Columbia, South Carolina:
Wheelchair bound man tortured and executed. Girlfriend maimed.
Near fatal hate crime mob attack on Carter Strange
Racially motivated mob attack in downtown
Elderly woman brutally beaten in hate crime
Disabled man beaten in hate crime mob attack
Maybe his homeowners insurance?
And I hope he goes after them, and the liars in the media including Michael Savage who have slandered this man.
>>Really? How in the hell did you get through law school and get accredited?
Its called affirmative action.
If he wants to make it about race-I wish just one person in the media had the spine to point out that whites have more to fear from blacks than the reverse. The statistics show that year after year, in multiple categories. I'm so sick and fed up with this false picture that blacks are under seige from whites, when if it's a matter of interracial crime, the reverse is the truth-and whites are the majority population, three times over blacks.
What about that 11 mo old baby shot in its stroller in front of the mother by two thugs, because she had nothing on her for them to steal? What about 11 yo old Bailey O'Neill, beat to death by a black thug, whose father, when interviewed about his thug son, made no apology and showed no remorse?
What about Channon Christian and Christopher Newsome? What about the elderly couple in OK in which the 80 something year old wife was raped and murdered, the husband beat, and died later in hospital?
The books are full of these crimes, many of them notable in their savagery. That's hate. That's targeting victims.
What about the mobs, who break out on a regular basis to target white or non-black businesses to loot and vandalise, and victims to beat, punch? For a "game"? (Knock-out King, Polar Bear Hunting)?
This hypocrisy is at a point where it couldn't be any more brazen-yet we're still subjected to this myth of an evil racist white majority preying on innocent helpless black victims.
I'm sick to death of it. If it keeps up, which it will, partly because people are stupid and don't want to know, and partly because the government and its media arm have a stake in continuing the lie, everyone's going to eventually reach that state.
What then, I don't know, but one thing is for sure, this has just got to come to an end.
Should be: 'We are Saracens' and what's with capitalizing black?
I suspect they won't get it. Zman will be busy suing them for that million.
Their paydays are coming up — except they will be the ones doing the paying.
Is this the same Daryl Parks with a record for illegal weapon possession???
All unarmed victims. When people start defending themselves, the attacks will stop. If you live in an area where yutes are in numbers, you need to be armed and ready. Even a knife is better than nothing.
Black people have known this for decades and they always have a blade handy. Yutes were attacking them long before it came to us.
Mainly the Homeowner's association (see early article at http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/04/09/zimmermans-homeowners-association-could-owe-millions-in-martin-case/ ). That's the deep pocket most closely tied as having acknowledged and will be purported to have condoned all his activity. While they should fight it and win, insurance companies for the association will likely settle if the thugs parents don't get too greedy. It's all about weighing the risk - how much will it cost to defend and what are the odds of losing - and how much.
If You Got No Case, You Must Use Race.
Parks said he was not upset that the judge ruled out letting experts testify during the trial over whether or not the voice on a 911 call was Martin yelling for help.
The layperson can identify the voice better, he remarked.
I guess the bar association has its own wing of affirmative action members. Sigh. On another note, Zimmerman needs to sue the absolute crap out of the scheme team and its clients. After he shuts them down, then he can go after NBC, Al, Jesse and the rest of them. May God bless him, watch over him and give him the strength to persevere.
Florida Statutes: 776.032 Immunity from criminal prosecution and civil action for justifiable use of force. (1) A person who uses force as permitted in s. 776.012, s. 776.013, or s. 776.031 is justified in using such force and is immune from criminal prosecution and civil action for the use of such force, unless the person against whom force was used is a law enforcement officer, as defined in s. 943.10(14), who was acting in the performance of his or her official duties and the officer identified himself or herself in accordance with any applicable law or the person using force knew or reasonably should have known that the person was a law enforcement officer. As used in this subsection, the term criminal prosecution includes arresting, detaining in custody, and charging or prosecuting the defendant. (2) A law enforcement agency may use standard procedures for investigating the use of force as described in subsection (1), but the agency may not arrest the person for using force unless it determines that there is probable cause that the force that was used was unlawful. (3) The court shall award reasonable attorneys fees, court costs, compensation for loss of income, and all expenses incurred by the defendant in defense of any civil action brought by a plaintiff if the court finds that the defendant is immune from prosecution as provided in subsection (1).
JURY: "Yes Judge. NOT GUILTY. In addition, the state is a bunch of douchebags".
OMARA: "Judge, we need your signature right here for property release of George's Passport and Kel-Tec Handgun.
ZIMMERMAN: "Hey...this jacket is a little tighter! Only 7 bullets! I had 8! Oh well. Mark Omara, where is the Gulfstream to fly me to Peru again? Lets go!"
From what I understand, one of the caveats of Florida's "stand your ground" law is that no one can be sued for wrongful death unless they have been formally charged with a crime.
That's why the family enlisted wrongful death attorny Crump and his homies as well as the justice brothers to bring pressure on the prosecuting attorney via the MSM to reopen the case and charge him...
A monetary judgement in this case would be non-discharchable in bankruptcy court.
Its a way of preventing him from building any kind of wealth in the future.
That was very funny....
After the New Jersey beating of that woman, I'm tempted to get me an open carry holster to wear around the house. They come in my house, they're going back out on a coroner's gurney. I have my but at home, IF they broke in I wouldn't necessarily have it at my fingertips, thus the open carry holster. :) Saw one pictured on the Well Armed Woman website and thought how true it is that you need to be ready in days like this we are now living.
oops I have my CCL but at home . . . typo
You are correct. See post #33
Zimmerman isn't rich....so they'll lose. Plus Trayvon started it.
I'll listen to them if they also decide it should be a capital offense for a black mob to beat up on a lone Whitey just for the giggles. There's some places with enough armed folks that it might be considered a capital offense - they just don't do the same deeds in those areas. If that's not a reason for Constitutional ownership/carry, I don't know what is.
Another threat that if they dont get the right verdict violence will occur.
More evidence that these people do not have the skills nor the intellectual capacity to live in a free and democratic society. If they don't get their way, they tantrum ...like wild and spoiled three year olds. All they are itching to do is ruin people and run this society into the ground.
They need to go back to third world zones where rioting mobs rule and no one has any hope for a better existence. They can run their kangaroo courts there and just let that hate spill out of them all day long.
Going after GZ for money at this point is ludicrous. He has none.
A knife is more realistic. Easy to carry and effective.
Parks will have to get in line behind the other race pimps Sharpton and Jackson.
Well, that would be ok. They can afford it, they've made plenty off the death of their son.
Don't get so upset. This guy is a defense lawyer, i.e. a BIG liar.

I do think they will. I think they win more than one as a matter of fact. And at the very least they're an ECF-caliber team for the next 4-6 years.
The Cavs are not and will not be.
So I need someone to explain to me again why I should prefer to be the Cavs and not the Heat during that time.
Sorry- I give no credit for 'rebuilding the right way'. I can't tell you how many title-less years I've heard that phrase uttered.
Remember the groundbreaking and innovative way John Hart built the Tribe teams of the mid 90's? Yeah...I'd still rather be the simplistic and behind the times Braves and Marlins.
My mileage doesn't vary that much, actually. It would have definitely been more fun to be a Miami fan than a Cavs fan this year. Probably true for the next 2-3 years as well (at least, if your scale as a fan is "will the team be a title contender"; I think there's something to be said for watching a young, developing team that isn't quite there yet but is still fun to watch).
I just happen to believe that the Bron/Wade/Bosh incarnation of the Heat are not going to win a title. Not because of residual LBJ-hate, but because objectively, the Heat have some pretty big weaknesses that even their considerable strengths do not cover. I think the Bulls take them out this year, and I think the Bulls and Thunder block them in 2012/2013, and then I think the combination of (a) the sun starting to set on Wade's career and (b) the media pressure of "it's been three season and you STILL haven't won a title???" take their toll.
Meanwhile, I see the Cavs as building towards something using the best path available to them. It's still early on that path, but I can see where it is heading, and I think the trip will be a fun one.
Besides, how much can we REALLY enjoy rooting for a team that features Boozer and Noah? ;)
I'm somewhere in the middle of these two takes, leaning a bit more toward John. IMO the Heat need a couple more pieces with a semblance of a bench being one multi faceted piece. While they have a big advantage over most teams in possessing 2 of the top 5 players in the league they will probably end up resembling the Cavaliers from the past few years in that they will need to sacrifice their future to add the pieces they need to win short term, and if they don't win after 3-4 years of trying they just might need to give up on the experiment?
I also think it is crazy to assume the Cavaliers will in no way be in position to win in 5 years. Of course the picks have to pan out, and of course it needs to be built correctly, but if you do so it doesn't have to take longer than 5 years for it all to come to fruition.
