>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Disgraceful !!! Don't go near this one again !!!In full: You cant put your club name on an online entry - but at least the entry pack claims there will be "Full route signage and marshalling" - you are joking - and they have the cheek to blame works at the pier for the fact that no marshalls at the right place to prevent nearly 1000 runners doing extra 2 miles !!! They can't even send text messages to right people, or put tee-shirts anywhere near the finish - dread to think how bad the usually poor results service will be this time.Date of review: April 12, 2015
In short: Organisation – I cannot fault it - I think they have raised an already high bar In full: I raved about this race last year, and was only a spectator, so was really looking forward to being able to run it this year and actually appreciate the course also.It's a fantastic route, didn't really understand beforehand why no-one could articulate whether it's more or less hilly in the first or second half, but now I get it - the roads just seem to go up and down all the time ! I preferred the second half personally, not sure whether its just that its nearer the end, but the scenic views of Corfe Castle in the distance coming closer do add something to an already scenic route enhanced by the animals alongside (and occasionally on) the course.As for organisation – I cannot fault it, and I think they have raised an already high bar – the nearest thing to a suggestion that I could come up with last year was moving a cone, it was that good, and this year I think the only thing I could possibly add would be perhaps if its easy to add the club name to the "am I in" web page – it really is that good, with clearly so much thought put in to every detail. Pre-race info excellent, website excellent, entry status and info excellent, having the entry list on-line really helpful, good pre-race communication re parking facilities, on the night marshalling (including parking) superb and again Ross' commentary at the finish adding to the atmosphere. I am a bit old myself now for bouncy castles, but to have the children's things laid on and the availability of food and beer an added extra touch of "making it feel special". Goody bag – very impressive - I am a critic of the obsession with races giving out so-called "goody" bags that have a load of useless tat (just give us the medal/t-shirt/biro/paper hat and don't insult us with a bag of uselessness), but you can't say that about the Purbeck 10K who gave out a reusable heavy-duty bag that could be used for a variety of purposes, a clever cap-free non-dripping drinks bottle, a bit of very-welcomed post-race cake, couple of tea bags, some gel for aching joints and all that's on top of a high quality technical tee-shirt perfect for training or racing in (And the colour of tee-shirts was genius – I am sure these will be widely used for night-time running). Results compiled and on the web promptly too and as an added extra-value touch, race photographers on the course and free photos on-line !!!. Is there a better value for money local 10K ??Well done Purbeck Runners once again – It gets my vote for next year's DRRL and our club championship once again. I do hope that with the extension of the Railway line and proposed introduction of scheduled services, that the Norden venue is still available for many years to come.Date of review: June 3, 2013
In short: Exteremly well organised, marshalling around the course excellent and very supportive.In full: 2013 - I live in Dorset now but was born in Southend and took the opportunity to have a "family weekend" (visiting relatives) and, long overdue, run in the Great Bentley Half Marathon. The parking was very well organised, and the marshalling around the course was excellent and very supportive. It was flipping cold for us runners, so for people to stand around for two and half hours or so, must have been horrendous, but you never would have thought that from the applause and encouragement that all were giving along the way. I must have had around 7 or 8 "Well done Westbourne's" and a couple of marshalls scrutinising the vest closely, with a little "surprise" in their face, prompting a couple "Hi Westbourne – great to see you". How about that for Essex hospitality !This is a great event that I would thoroughly recommend. It is extremely well organised, some lovely (albeit flat) scenery, superb friendly marshalls, race results published within hours. I will definitely make the trip and do the race again.Date of review: March 13, 2013
In short: I certainly would recommend this to anyone who fancies a nice run in the forest, does not care about their time, enjoys great scenery, likes a few hills or is in training for something longer / tougher, oh and does not mind a bit of mudIn full: "This race will not be everyone's cup of tea, but I think the people that like Beast, Stickler, and Studland etc might like this. I certainly would recommend this to anyone who fancies a nice run in the forest, does not care about their time, enjoys great scenery, likes a few hills or is in training for something longer / tougher, oh and does not mind a bit of mud, well lots of mud actually.Being the day after Weymouth 10, and "across the border" into Hampshire, there were not many runners I recognised – well none actually, until just at the start line I caught up with Carole Loader, Caroline Horder and Debbie Camp from Bournemouth Joggers (Did not see them after the start though- they are all a lot quicker than me !). It's a great scenic race totally traffic-free event through the New Forest - 15K of undulations and hills (but nothing as steep as the Stickler – I did run the whole race all but about ten yards !!!).But there was mud, some up hills, some more mud, some downhills, some more mud and few more up hills, (you get the drift ….). At about 13K there were a couple of places of calf-knee deep water (that washed the mud off) and then more mud for the rest of the race. Hard to compare your time really as you kind of squelch and swagger in places rather than run, but is a really good workout and unbeatable forest scenery and views, plus ingeniously organised route and race venue. One I'd do again.We often comment that marshalls are friendly and encouraging – This race is a contender for "best race marshalling of the year award" – A feature unique to this race is where the marshalling points had lists of the entrants, and the marshals were giving out first name cheers to all the passing runners – even from a stranger a "Come on Ray" is always welcome. Marshalling this one is quite a lonely affair with just 124 runners quite strung out across the forest with marshalling points miles from anywhere, but each marshal was very lively and supportive (and some apologetic about the mud and hills !!!). I did like the positive spin they put on everything including classics such as: – "there's a nice downhill section soon" (meaning – "there's a flipping big hill up ahead first"; "There's a nice section to wash your shoes coming up" (meaning – here comes the water !!!) and "nearly there, I'm the last marshal" which I heard three times, including from the one dressed up as a six-foot Bumble Bee !!!This event is organised by Totton Running Club who used to organise the Totton 10K, the first race I even ran in. That used to be a great event with children's races and such, raising money for the local school and charities, yet due to difficulties with local authorities, police and safety concerns is not allowed to run any more. So Totton RC ingeniously went off-road and organised a race in the forest. This is its third year, and my initial prediction that this would be a cult race like the Stickler and grow in popularity has not yet materialised, but I do think it deserves more than the 124 entries it had this year. It is hard to fault the organisation – As a previous entrant I was sent an e-mail months ago when the date was announced (I am surprised more races do not send entry forms and notifications to runners who have entered before, especially those smaller races who wonder why their entry numbers drop if their race is not in the DRRL); once entered you get e-mail confirmations – and even updates regarding the traffic and road closures, etc. Upon turning off of the A31, the Totton RC flags make the race HQ entrance visible from a long way away, and the quaint Race HQ of a car park, tents, gazebos, Burger van and portaloos within seconds from the race start and finish make it all very relaxing and easy.Goody bag was a bit different, with a "Running Belt" (for you to carry gels, I Pads, phones, drinks, etc) and an "Arm Strap" thingy (to carry even more stuff if you feel so inclined). Also contained a nut bar (any kind of food after a race is always welcomed), complete with a health warning that it contained nuts.Congratulations to Totton Running Club – a great event. This race really does deserve more recognition and more entries"Date of review: November 14, 2012
In short: Great race - congartulations to Zoom TriDate of review: March 14, 2010
In short: Tough and hilly, but scenic and well-organised from the Bill In full: It is hilly, and not really a PB course at all, but you get great views instead. Great views of Chesil Beach, and the run down to the Portland Bill lighthouse gives you views of the sea and lighthouses, Running back up from the bill has views of the Dorset Jurrasic coast.One of the best, well organised races around. July can of course be hot, but I think I counted about 8 water stations and 3 sponge stations.Plenty of friendly and enthusiastic marshalls, and very welcoming and supportive residents of Portland.Very useful quality embroidered towel as the race souvenir.Congrats and thanks to all the organisation team, and people of Portland. In all, a highly recommeded race.Date of review: July 5, 2009
In short: Friendly low key, ideal for first-timers & beginnersIn full: A great setting, and nice off-road course. Many beginners and first-timers with non-club and "friendly club" runners far out-numbering "serious" runners - a nice friendly atmosphere and friday night feel.Distance has been re-measured and feels accurate overall now, although K markers are a bit eccentric.The free parking arrangements were welcomed,Overall, highly recommended.(and if you liked this, you would probably like the Poole Runners Summer Time Trials at Upton Country Park).Date of review: June 20, 2009
In short: Well-organised, friendly, scenic hilly race.In full: Very under-rated race - the organisation (by the Lytchett Manor Striders) is excellent, very friendly and supportive marshals. Lovely rural course, no real traffic to worry about, and some excellent views of Poole Harbour and district from the course's higher points.Course is hilly, so not a PB course, but makes for a good workout and training run, but with a very fast downhill last couple of miles.Date of review: February 15, 2009
In short: Great amosphere, ideal for all standardsIn full: A nice low-key race getting increasing popular each year (and deservedly so). Organisation keeps improving, the km markers were displayed this year which was welcomed (although I am still not convinced about their accuracy, and think the overall distance is a bit short, so flatters your time). Race has a great mix of club, non-club / "ordinary" runners. Course has a few small inclines to test you but overall is pleasant. Great way to spend an evening. Date of review: June 20, 2008
In short: Great atmosphere and flat course, but org could do betterIn full: All been said elsewhere.Date of review: October 19, 2007

Messy Retro Hairdo
Here's a great hairdo from way back and still trendy to this day. When it comes to men hairstyles there isn't much rules as long as you wear it properly and with confidence. This hairstyle is the perfect cut for any guy who is tired of those short and regular cuts and want to let a little length grow. It doesn't matter if it's messy because this style works great well groomed or messy and casual just as seen on this picture. So guys let a little length grow out ;)

Advanced Micro Devices has interviewed a number of the most respected executives in the high-tech industry in a bid to find itself a new chief executive officer. So far the company has not find itself a new leader, but some expect that this would happen in a month time or so.
Among the others, AMD approached Tim Cook (chief operating officer of Apple), Patrick Gelsinger (chief operating officer of EMC, ex-Intel CTO), Mark Hurd (co-president of Oracle, ex-HP CEO) and Greg Summe (managing director of Carlyle Group). According to Bloomberg news-agency, all of the aforementioned spurned AMD proposal in favour of their current positions.
Even though such talks are confidential and are never disclosed, it is unclear why AMD decided to offer the job to executives, who have all chances to become chief executive officers of the companies much larger than AMD is.
"The search is obviously a priority and the board is moving the process forward to ensure that we select a person with the right vision, experience and track record to lead AMD into the future and to create increased shareholder value over time," said Drew Prairie, a spokesman for AMD.
Dirk Meyer resigned from AMD in early January. It is widely believed that the board of directors was not satisfied with the company's plans in regards of mobile devices, such as tablets. Thomas Seifert, originally chief financial officer of the chip designer, acts as interim CEO.
Given the fact that several executives who worked in various server-related divisions at AMD also resigned following Mr. Meyer, it is unlikely that the new CEO will come from the server industry. On the other hand, AMD's short-term success will not be determined by tablets or other emerging devices, but by the company's ability to correctly position its accelerated processing units (APUs), central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units against competing chips from Intel Corp. and Nvidia Corp.

The demand towards solid-state drives (SSDs) continues to increase as the devices become more affordable and consumers realize what benefits do they bring. At present notebooks are driving the demand towards SSDs, but enterprise customers as well as desktops will also pick up eventually, according to chief executive officer of Micron Technology, a leading maker of NAND flash memory.
"Our SSD shipments were up significantly Q2 over Q1, and we see that trend continuing with the Q3, it is going to be [higher than in the third quarter]. [...] The notebook segment is still driving that growth. [Still], enterprise is starting to play off pretty nicely, as I said, because of the technology development around intelligent controllers and firmware development around making these things more reliable from an enterprise requirement standpoint. [...] The combination of some OEM desktop pre-configured machines as well as some aftermarkets that have combined for some pretty impressive growth," explained Steve Appleton, chief executive officer of Micron, during this week's conference call with financial analysts.
A number of other suppliers of SSDs, including OCZ Technology Group, also recently reported about major increase in SSD sales citing increased demand towards different classes of SSDs.
Besides SSDs, Micron believes that increasing demands towards tablets will also drive demand towards NAND flash memory.
"A lot of the news around tablets and those kind of devices are actually pretty positive for us in the NAND arena. [...] Tablet market has been a very pleasant surprise from a NAND perspective year-over-year when you think about where it was just 12 months ago. So when you line that up, given the NAND supply picture for 2011, we are still bullish on NAND in general," said Mr. Appleton.
Micron this week announced results of operations for its second quarter of fiscal 2011, which ended March 3, 2011. For the second quarter, the company had net income attributable to Micron shareholders of $72 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, on net sales of $2.3 billion. The results for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compare to net income of $155 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, on net sales of $2.3 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
Revenue from sales of DRAM products was 6% lower in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2011 due to a 23% decrease in average selling prices largely offset by an increase in volume. Revenue from sales of NAND Flash products was 8% higher in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2011 due to an increase in volume partially offset by a 4% decrease in average selling prices. Revenue from sales of NOR Flash products was 7% lower in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2011 due primarily to a decrease in average selling prices. The company's consolidated gross margin was 19% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and was lower compared to its gross margin of 23% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 due primarily to the decreases in average selling prices partially offset by decreases in manufacturing costs.

It is not a secret that game developers complain about difficulties to program for the PlayStation 3 video game system by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. According to the creator of the console, those difficulties were implemented intentionally as this ensures "gradual" quality improvements of video games.
"We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that (developers) want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so then the question is, what do you do for the rest of the nine-and-a-half years," said Kazuo Hirai, chief executive officer and president of SCEI, in the official PlayStation magazine.
Since Microsoft Xbox 360, the main rival for the PlayStation 3, is relatively easy to program for, video games for the platform are less expensive compared to those for the PS3 in many cases. Numerous developers of video games have heavily criticized the latest Sony platform, but Sony tends to see advantages in game creation for the PS3.
"So it's a kind of – I wouldn't say a double-edged sword – but it's hard to program for and a lot of people see the negatives of it, but if you flip that around, it means the hardware has a lot more to offer," Mr. Hirai added.
Since game development for the PlayStation 3 is not easy, game developers creating low-quality titles set to be sold at low price will hardly be interested in developing games for the PS3. However, Sony must have other ways to keep low-quality titles away from its latest platform.
Sony PlayStation 3 console is based on the Cell processor developed by IBM, Sony and Toshiba, the RSX graphics chip by Nvidia Corp., wireless network and Bluetooth connectivity and is equipped with Blu-ray optical disk drive. There are several versions of the consoles available around the world with different hard disk drives and variable compatibility with PlayStation 1/2 games.

If you're trying your first Chicago thin crust why not take a look at Garvey's procedure? His pizza is my favorite thin crust but even if you don't use it, there is a lot of info about making thin crust pizza.http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,17662.0.html
And I agree with the others that Garvey's Pizza Factory clone is a good one, but there are a number of other formulations that are great too. Unfortunately, a lot of these haven't received the attention they deserve. Here is a list of the different formulations that have been produced on this forum:http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,16422.0.html
I just looked at the Garvey thread. It looks a lot like the way I do my cracker crusts. I think this will be my first attempt to see how I like it. Then move on to trying to improve my technique. Thanks for starting me in the right direction. I will post pics and comments soon.
I finished the dough ball and it's in the fridge. I did the mixer method for my first try. I finished Garvey's thread and saw the "No Knead Method." That is the same method I use for my cracker crust pies. I put all the dry ingredients in the bowl, then add the liquids. I use a spatula to mix the dough till it just comes together. I dump the mixture onto the counter and hand form it into a ball. I found by working the dough less, and being more gentle with the mixing, it comes out crisper. In the past I did a kneaded dough for a cracker crust. It did make for a softer crust. On my next try I will do a no knead pie.
I forgot to ask. Are the skins usually docked for this style?
Thanks Redox. I thought it may have been just a tad thick. I used the dough calculator for the size of the dough ball at 16" I may not have got it quite to 16. I used my 14" cutter pan to cut out the skin. The toppings were Garvey's sauce with, 6oz of Mozz and 6oz of Johnsonville ground mild Italian sausage that was doctored up with crushed fennel seed and black pepper.

I like this face cream. I've been using it (in combination with several other MyChelle products) for a couple of weeks. I use this cream at night and the MyChelle Deep Repair Cream in the morning. Note though that you do NOT want to get any of the cream in your eyes, as it will sting like you won't believe. I'll definitely keep using it. And I really like that MyChelle products are pure with no noxious chemicals. I'm very careful what I put on my face.

Ever had an idea that could change the world?
In 2011, Taronga offered a $50,000 Green Grant to fund the best and most innovative project to inspire Australian communities to live more sustainably and have a positive impact on our wildlife. We received fantastic proposals that year and our winners – Take 3 – A Clean Beach Initiative continue to spearhead programs for wildlife and ocean health around Australia and the world.
Now, we are looking for wholly original and innovative ideas to transform local communities and inspire people around the globe to embrace change.
The world's top minds agree that if we all keep using resources at the current rate, the earth will not be able to sustain our populations. Scientists already conclude that one third of species on the planet could be extinct by 2050. We pride ourselves on being close to nature and good stewards of the natural world, but Australia is at the bottom of all developed countries in green behaviours like recycling. There is so much more we could do.
There are great initiatives around Australia being led by scientists and governments, but we know you have great ideas that provide elegant solutions to overuse and waste of resources. We want to help you put those ideas into action.
Submit your application here and you could be offered up to $50,000 to change the way Australians think feel and act For the Wild.

As an semi-collector of puerh tea and always stuggling with humidity I came across the idea of aging oolong. So, how do you age this stuff? Just fill up a airtight container and put it on the shelf? I would like to try aging chinese Wuyi oolong as it is a highly oxidized heavy roast and I can get some pretty good stuff really cheaply, is this good for aging?
Thanks for any help!

Amy Castronova recognized as top young entrepenuer
A Rochester entrepreneur who took over the family business after her mother died of lung cancer can now add another honor to her trophy case.
Amy Castronova, 29, president and owner of Novatek Communications, will be at the White House Thursday for being recognized as one of the top young entrepreneurs in the country by landing on Empact100, a list of 30-and-younger business leaders selected for running companies with revenues of more than $100,000, among other things.
As part of her trip, Castronova will get to talk to Congressional leaders about some of the obstacles facing entrepreneurs and small businesses, but she's unsure if she'll meet Michelle Obama or the president. "I don't know," she said.
But things like taxes, government regulation, financing and access to skilled worked are some of the topics she wants to discuss with members of Congress. "I have a bunch of entrepreneur friends that have voiced their opinions (on this) too," she said.
Castronova took over Novatek after her mother, Janet, died of lung cancer in 2001. Janet was 46, but Amy was still completing her undergraduate work at Clarkson University.
"That was pretty tricky, when my mother first died," said Amy, adding that she didn't have plans to takeover the business at first. "I was helping my father with the decision on what to do with that business … It really was taking that leap and learning, jumping and building my wings on the way down."
She made that jump after learning more about the business and after buying the company, she hired someone to run day-to-day operations of the technical communications company while she finished school.
Within three years of taking over the company, Novatek landed at No. 81 on Rochester's Top 100 rankings of local companies. As the company grew, Amy continued to be recognized. She was named as an Up and Coming Business Woman of Rochester, then the U.S. Small Business Administration named her a Young Entrepreneur of the Year and then Clarkson University appointed her to its Board of Trustee, where she is its youngest member.
She also gives speeches and teaches workshops on leadership. "I talk about my journey and all the not-so-good parts of the journey," she said. "I do a lot of talking around leadership … leadership character, who you need to be successful."
Today, the 35 employees of Novatek on Helendale Road in Irondequoit help write instructional materials and train personnel on how to use various medical devices. Castronova and impact declined to provide overall revenues for Novatek.
The Empact100, sponsored by impact, a group promoting entrepreneurship, among other groups, will be streamed at 2:30 p.m. today by the White House at http://www.whitehouse.gov/live.

ChristianAnswers.Net WebBible Encyclopedia
may be simply defined as the termination of life
It is represented under a variety of aspects in Scripture:
The grave is represented as "the gates of death" (Job 38:17; Ps. 9:13; 107:18). The gloomy silence of the grave is spoken of under the figure of the "shadow of death" (Jer. 2:6).
Death is the effect of sin (Hebrews 2:14), and not a "debt of nature." It is but once (9:27), universal (Genesis 3:19), necessary (Luke 2:28-30). Jesus has by his own death taken away its sting for all his followers (1 Cor. 15:55-57).
There is a spiritual death in trespasses and sins, i.e., the death of the soul under the power of sin (Rom. 8:6; Eph. 2:1, 3; Col. 2:13).
The "second death" (Rev. 2:11) is the everlasting perdition of the wicked (Rev. 21:8), and "second" in respect to natural or temporal death.
THE DEATH OF CHRIST is the procuring cause incidentally of all the blessings men enjoy on Earth. But specially it is the procuring cause of the actual salvation of all his people, together with all the means that lead thereto. It does not make their salvation merely possible, but certain (Matt. 18:11; Rom. 5:10; 2 Cor. 5:21; Gal. 1:4; 3:13; Eph. 1:7; 2:16; Rom. 8:32-35).

Christmas Quiz Answers
Merry Christmas! I hope everyone enjoyed the Lacher family quiz that served as our holiday letter this year. Since you are probably here for answers, let's get going!
Julia had a really big year this year. She did graduate to a big girl bed – which she sleeps in extremely soundly all night, praise God! Sleep has been a long, hard road and we are so thankful for this blessing. For the most part, she only gets up in the night when she needs to go to the bathroom. She has been potty trained and in big girl panties since the beginning of the year. It is fun to see her independence continue to develop, even though it has also brought out her extremely strong-willed nature! We just celebrated her third birthday with a cupcake party. With a birthday just before Christmas, we really try hard to make sure her birthday stays a separate special event. And the biggest thing for Julia this year is that she has bloomed into a little girl that never. stops. talking. ever. So there is no way that she needs speech therapy as she is quite the little conversationalist!
Norah was very active this year, trying gymnastics (which she loved but we are trying to steer her away from!), soccer (her favorite part was having Daddy as coach), swimming lessons (where she is starting to be a bit more confident), and tennis – which she LOVES! It has been fun to watch her grow in this. We have a great tennis center here (Midland was actually named the US Best Tennis Town a couple of years ago during the US Open) so she can play pretty much year round if she wants to. Our girly girl loves that she has found a sport she can play in a skirt and her hand-eye coordination is getting pretty good! She also has been enjoying preschool and will be a star reader by the end of the school year. As for Locks of Love, Norah may be able to do that when she is 30! She has such pretty blonde curls but they are baby fine and prone to breakage so the poor girl has only had one haircut her entire life!
After getting an American Girl doll from Santa last year, Emily was excited to have a themed party in April where all her friends brought their dolls. The dolls sat at little tables with exact replicas of the plates and cups the big girls used. As a seven year old, Emily has been visited a lot by the tooth fairy this year and I can't believe how grown up her smile looks now that she is getting her permanent teeth! She continues to excel in soccer and has a blast doing it. Coach Jeremy and Coach Dan/Daddy got the girls playing positions a bit more this year, and Emily does really well as a midfielder due to her speed, endurance, and ball-handling. She also has been having fun exploring her new tech toy as everyone in second grade at her school received iPads that they use in class each day. She is so responsible with it, bringing it home each night to show us what she has been doing and plugging it in to get it charged up for the next day. Buffalo Wild Wings is a family favorite place to eat, but Emily is not a fan of spicy foods, despite our attempts! She is happy to stick with ranch dressing rather than buffalo sauce!
I had several brushes with "fame" this year. When Mom and Dad visited earlier this year, Mom and I went to check out a filming of an HGTV show that happened to be filming here in Midland and were chosen to be part of the "voting public" that got to walk through the house and provide comments on camera! It was a very cool experience, right down to chatting with show host Bob Guiney (of The Bachelor). My best friend Jennifer and I got a chance to escape for a girls' weekend in Petoskey in July and attended a talk given by New York Times bestselling author Chris Bohjalian, who was promoting his new book The Sandcastle Girls. We had the opportunity to chat with him afterwards, and he signed our books and posed for a picture with us. I also appeared in several YouTube videos promoting Beauty Care products for Dow Corning. One of them was filmed live at a tradeshow, and the others were filmed professionally as part of a marketing activity we launched late in the year. You can find them by visiting the Dow Corning channel on YouTube. And I am really looking forward to a big adventure in 2013 – my friend Beth (she and I met when we were in China; our daughters were in the same orphanage) and I are are going to be running the Disney Princess Half Marathon! It is pretty amazing that I have gone from someone who has never run unless I had to, to someone who can go out and run 8 miles (so far) and actually enjoy it! Slowly working my way up in mileage so I will be ready for the 13.1 come February! As if I didn't have enough to do as it is, I also turned my passion for scrapbooking into a small business by being an Independent Consultant for Close to My Heart and launching my own blog, TheScrappinista.com. It is fun, although I don't put quite as much time into it as I should. As for rescuing the family from a bird in the house…well, that event DID happen, but it was Dan performing the heroics while I cowered in the corner, traumatized by the bird repeatedly flying toward my head!
Speaking of Dan, not only did he support my efforts to train for a half-marathon, he trained with me – and completed his own half-marathon in November! I ran a 10K that day and then returned home to get the girls and go back downtown for us to cheer him on as he crossed the finish line! We were all so proud of him. Dan kept plenty busy throughout the year. He continues to enjoy his job in IT at Dow Chemical. He also continues to serve at church on the audio team and has made lots of great friends this way. It has been a sad year for us as our best friends, the Jordahl's, moved to Florida and we miss them terribly. They truly were our family here in Midland. I think Dan is hoping to meet other guys who are potential backpacking buddies now that he and Dave won't be sharing those adventures anymore. We did have the opportunity to go see family this summer and Dan was our fearless leader, navigating us from here to South Dakota and back safely and with minimal meltdowns by the kids and Mommy! Anyone who knows Dan should have been able to spot his false item right off the bat – he most definitely did NOT give up coffee!
Oh, and I must not forget Nuba – our sweet girl turned ten this year!
Thanks for playing along with us and reviewing the year that was 2012. We wish you a holiday season filled with faith, friends, and family. May you know The Gift that has been given to you.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Chris Benz Memorial Fund Grant awarded to HC/HY and Dist. 88
NEW ULM – The annual Chris Benz Memorial Fund Grant given by the Highway 10 Baseball Classic has been awarded to Healthy Communities/Healthy Youth of Brown County on behalf of District 88 schools.
The $1,000 grant will be used to raise awareness and provide classroom educational materials related to the prevention of youth suicide.
The Chris Benz Memorial Fund was established in the memory of Chris Benz, a 17-year-old student at Robbinsdale Armstrong High School who committed suicide in 2007. The memorial's mission is "to foster healthy teenagers and young adults in our communities by providing education in our schools and increased awareness in our communities about the prevention of teenage suicide."
The grant award to Healthy Communities/Healthy Youth is a direct result of the participation and sportsmanship shown by New Ulm team members who participated in the Highway 10 Baseball Classic held this past July in Perham and New York Mills. They included Collin Helget, Nate Palmer, Judd Davis, Brach Kraus, Jackson Yackley, Connor Forbrook, Wyatt Peterson, Seanan Kelly, Alex Stark, Chase Meyer, Tanner Kluis, Brant Kannegiesser, Tyler Dittrich, Jarin Spence and coaches Dave Shoen and Curt Forbrook.
As part of the grant guidelines Healthy Communities/Healthy Youth will be sponsoring a Life Living Series presentation by Maria Willits on Monday, Jan, 28. This presentation will take place in the DAC Auditorium at 7 p.m. and is open to youth and adults.
Willits' presentation, "Shatter the Silence" will include her personal story of losing her son to suicide in 2009. Janet Benz will attend and present a check for $1,000 in the name of her son to S.P.O.T.S and Brown County Area Youth Council members from Healthy Communities/Healthy Youth.
Healthy Communities/Healthy Youth will also work with the Brown County Yellow Ribbon to provide evidence-based suicide prevention classroom curricula including videos and other materials for students and faculty in District 88. Grant monies may also be used to send interested students to gatherings focused on suicide prevention.

Editorial: Expo a great way to beat cabin fever
Today marks the 14th Alpena News Business Expo at the APlex.
Over the years the Expo has been a wonderful opportunity for area residents to enjoy a winter Saturday and talk with local businesses, see the newest in product lines and services, stock up on their reading supplies for the rest of the season and perhaps go home with a new scarf, skin product or jewelry from one of the arts and crafts vendors.
In other words, the Business Expo pretty much has something for everyone – including food! This year's food vendor is the Arby's Relay for Life team.
We believe we discovered a universal truth back in 2000 with the first Business Expo, and that is that if you put together a good show, advertise it well and have a venue large enough to handle big crowds, people will come out for it in the middle of winter.
Truth is, it is the perfect escape for those of us suffering from a little from those Cabin Fever Blues that seem to occur this time of year.
We hope to see you today somewhere between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the APlex. And best of all, admission is free.
Guaranteed, the Expo has something of interest for everyone in the family.

Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War
All-day event, Wednesday, May 14, 2014
Bower-Suhrheinrich Library, University of Evansville Campus
UEL is hosting *Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War* traveling exhibit until March 21, 2014. Based upon an original interactive exhibit developed and organized by the National Constitution Center (with assistance from the American Library Association with funding provided by the National Endowment of the Humanities), this traveling version explores Lincoln's struggle to resolve the basic questions that divided Americans at the most perilous moment in the nation's history: Was the United States truly one nation, or was it a confederacy of sovereign and separate states? How could a country founded on the belief that "all men are created equal" tolerate slavery? In a national crisis, would civil liberties be secure?

Reviews for this host's other properties
After we made the reservation, we got a rather unpleasant email by the agency that takes care of the flat. It mainly consisted of threatening to charge you immense fees in case you are late for the key transaction, in case you check in before 2pm, in case you dont check out between 7-9 am, in case you dont buy certain insurances they offer you, and so on....
In the end, we had a very smooth key transaction, the guy from the agency, Thomas, was very helpful and friendly, in spite of the bossy emails by the agency.
The apartment is really cute, clean and cosy, so it was really worth it.
Everything was perfect I would recommend this rent in friends.
Tout était parfait je recommanderai cette location á des amies.
Home as in the description, very comfortable, along with the metro and very easy to reach. Quiet neighborhood with supermarkets bars and restaurants very close to the house. Recommended.
Casa come nella descrizione, molto confortevole, avanti alla metro e molto facile da raggiungere. Quartiere tranquillo con supermercati bar e ristoranti molto vicini all'abitazione. Consigliata.
House clean and perfect .... great kitchen bathrooms and bedrooms. Well positioned allows you to move right to the city 'walk, boat or metro'. Too bad for windows that do not have a nice view, but just a few steps, and 'in the middle of the Latin Quarter. Great experience!!
Casa pulita e perfetta....ottimi la cucina i bagni e le camere.
Ben posizionata permette di muoversi bene per la citta' a piedi, battello o metro'.
Peccato per le finestre che non hanno una bella vista, ma bastano pochi gradini e si e' in mezzo al quartiere latino. Ottima esperienza!!!!
A better location, it may not be located at the geben.direkt jardin du Palais Royal, a jewel of Park.zu walk five minutes to the Louvre, barely ten minutes to Opera garnier.in this busy beach around this beautiful apartment is peacefully situated in a side street. A baeckerei alongside, two typical Parisian lebenmittellaedchen directly gegenueber.die view from every window is a typical Parisian hinterhofaussicht.durch the wonderful ambience of the house, take it not as annoying war.Die apartment is well-equipped and tastefully eingerichtet.Die care by an agency was correct, uncomplicated and angenehm.wir felt absolutely comfortable and enjoyed the experience very much.
Eine bessere Lage kann es nicht geben.direkt am jardin du Palais Royal gelegen,einem Juwel von Park.zu Fuß fünf Minuten zum Louvre,kaum zehn Minuten zur Opera garnier.in dieser trubeligen Umgebung liegt diese schöne Wohnung absolut ruhig in einer Seitenstraße . Eine baeckerei direkt daneben,zwei typische pariser lebenmittellaedchen direkt gegenueber.die Aussicht aus allen Fenstern ist eine typische Pariser hinterhofaussicht.durch das wunderbare Ambiente der Wohnung nimmt man dies jedoch nicht als störend war.die Wohnung ist hervorragend ausgestattet und äußerst geschmackvoll eingerichtet.die Betreuung durch eine Agentur war korrekt,unkompliziert und angenehm.wir fühlten uns absolut wohl und haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.
The Duplex is in an excellent location for visiting Paris with easy access to the whole city. The unit is very well maintained and clean. You have to go up one set of stairs to the first floor before you are able to take an two person elevator to the actual unit. The beds are a little on the hard side but OK. The unit has one nice sized shower and a large tub in one of the bathrooms. We had six people in the unit and it took us a few days to figure out a shower schedule so that we all had hot water, but we got it worked out. We would recommend purchasing a couple of fans if you are going to be there when it is hot there is no A/C in the unit. The street the unit is on is one of the main walking streets in Paris at night, it is very busy, which is nice as there is alot of places to eat and things to see, but it also has it draw backs as there is noise at night.
The apartment is beautifully located between the Seine and near the Pantheon, next door shop, bakery around the corner, near restaurants and two metro stops. All comfort in kitchen and bathroom. The flat is very dark because you only have a view of two tiny courtyards. You should always turn on the light. There are not really two separate bedrooms. There is a sofa bed in the living room of lesser quality. The bathroom is connected to the only real bedroom. The apartment is suitable for two couples so, perhaps have a family, though our kids slept badly on the sofa bed.
Het appartement is schitterend gelegen, tussen de Seine en de buurt van het Pantheon, winkeltje naast de deur, bakker om de hoek, vlakbij restaurants en twee metrohaltes. Alle comfort in keuken en badkamer. De flat is wel erg donker omdat je alleen maar uitzicht hebt op twee hele kleine binnenplaatsen. Je moet altijd het licht aansteken. Er zijn ook niet echt twee aparte slaapkamers. Er staat een divanbed van mindere kwaliteit in de woonkamer. De badkamer is verbonden met de enige echte slaapkamer. De flat is niet geschikt voor twee stellen dus, eventueel wel voor een gezin, al hebben onze kinderen slecht geslapen op het divanbed.
Dear Diane,
Overall, my family and I enjoyed our stay very much in your apartment. My only complaint is that I could not reach anyone by telephone when I had a question. Only an answering machine in French which I tried to respond to but was not successful.
Also, it would have been helpful to have instructions in English for how to use th washing machine. Otherwise it was very nice. Very nice renovation and very clean, most importantly. Thank you, Gaylyn Greiner
The apartment is very well located. It is steps away from Notre Dame. It was clean and orderly as shown in the pictures. It is located on a very busy night life street so gets noisey at night and stays noisey until very late. In fact, in the same building on the street level is a guy strip club which attracts a lot of excited and drunk girls which stays open until 4AM. It is also close to the busy street along the river whichs producers a lot of highway noise. If you can close the windows and block out the noise it is great.
Location is very good. Located in Paris and quiet. Subways nearby. Service very good. Resolve problems as quickly. Cozy apartment like a hotel room.
Lage sehr gut. Mitten in Paris und trotzdem ruhig. U-Bahnen in der Nähe.
Betreuung sehr gut. Probleme werden rasch behoben. Wohnung gemütlicher wie ein Hotelzimmer.

(COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO) – Queen Underwood (Seattle, Wash.) received the call she had been dreaming about for over a month on Monday morning, and the voice on the other line delivered the message she'd been hoping for. The 28-year-old lightweight immediately fell into tears upon learning that she would be nominated to compete in the inaugural Olympic Games for women's boxing in London. Underwood received the call from USA Boxing Executive Director Anthony Bartkowski at approximately 10 a.m. PT and was too emotional to speak after receiving the news.
After regaining her composure, Underwood attempted to put her feelings into words through the tears. "I'm just so happy right now. I've been waiting for this second chance and it means a lot to be able to go to the Olympics," Underwood said. "All I heard was welcome to the Olympic Team and I just couldn't control my emotions. I am just happy and thrilled that they chose me. This is just awesome."
As the IOC's Tripartite Commission did not have a suitable NOC for the lightweight slot, they returned to the berth to AIBA, the international federation for Olympic-style boxing. Per the Olympic Selection Guidelines approved the IOC Executive Board, the berth was to go to the next place finisher at the 2012 Women's World Championships, which was Underwood. The American boxer lost a one-point decision to Norway's Ingrid Egner in preliminary round action at the World Championships last month, falling just short of qualifying at that event. She required a first place finish in the Americas at the 2012 World Championships to earn her berth at the 2012 Olympic Games in the lone international qualifying tournament.
"We are thrilled for Queen and believe that she absolutely deserved to be in London," said USA Boxing Executive Director Anthony Bartkowski. "She has been an outstanding representative for the sport since her first national championship win in 2007 and the team feels complete now that she will be joining Marlen and Claressa in London."
Underwood's selection by AIBA means that the United States will be represented in all three women's weight divisions in the first-ever Olympic Games for Women's Boxing. Flyweight Marlen Esparza (Houston, Texas) and middleweight Claressa Shields (Flint, Mich.) both qualified for the Olympic Games based upon their finish at the 2012 World Championships. Only 12 boxers in each of the three women's weight divisions will be competing in London.
All nominations to the 2012 Olympic Team are subject to approval by the USOC Board of Directors.
Additional Underwood Quotes
"I now have the chance to write my own story and my winning the gold medal is now going to be the headline. That's what I owe to everybody and to myself. I can't wait to get in the ring, I really can't. It is going to be way different this time."
"This past three weeks almost destroyed me mentally. All this pressure, everything since China (where the World Championships were held) has been so hard."
"This is God's gift to me, the chance to pursue what I've always dreamed about. It's obviously a dream come true and it wasn't even in my control. I've worked hard to get here. I'm just so happy right now."

U.S. Men Stun France with Sweep at Worlds

Manager, Media Relations and Publications

E-Mail: email@example.com
Please note: The schedule for Pool O has been changed so that Italy plays the late matches. Therefore, the U.S. Men's match against Italy on Tuesday will be at noon PT and Italy's match against France on Wednesday will also be at noon PT.
Unofficial DataVolley Statistics * Official Statistics
For the U.S. Men's 2010 World Championships Media Guide, click here.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 4, 2010) – The U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team stunned France with a 25-16, 25-14, 25-23 victory on Monday at the FIVB World Championship at the PalaLottomattica in Rome, Italy.
The victory gives the United States a 1-0 record (5-1 overall) in the three-team Pool O. The U.S. Men will face host Italy at noon PT on Tuesday in Rome. France (0-1 in pool, 4-2 overall) will have Tuesday off and then play Italy on at noon PT on Wednesday.
The pool winner will stay in Rome to play in the World Championship semifinal round against the first-place teams from the other three pools. The second-place team will travel to Modena to play against the other second-place teams for fifth-eighth places. The third-place team will go to Florence to play for ninth-12th places against the other third-place teams.
Opposite Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawaii), the 2008 Olympic most valuable player, was once again the star for the United States on Monday, finishing with 14 points on six kills, four blocks and a match-high four aces.
Outside hitter Sean Rooney (Wheaton, Ill.) added 11 points on a match-high nine kills and two blocks. Middle blocker David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) scored 11 points on six kills and five blocks. Outside hitter Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) scored 10 points on six kills and four blocks.
"We got off to an excellent start," U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) said in an FIVB release. "Our attack and block percentage was almost perfect. I am quite satisfied with our performance, especially with respect to our technical level.
"We are definitely playing better than at the beginning of the tournament, since we finally have attained the continuity of one lineup. Playing on a daily basis gives us the opportunity to obtain that stability necessary to win matches. The match with Mexico was a rude awakening but it made us stop thinking and start playing."
The French team was without its leading scorer, outside hitter Antonin Rouzier, who injured his ankle on Friday during a match against Japan. It showed, as France's hitting percentage is listed as .02 (30 kills and 28 faults on 77 attempts) while the United States hit 0.28 (31 kills and 12 faults on 67 attempts).
The United States also dominated on the block, 17-7, and had five aces while France had one.
The U.S. Men had 30 "excellent" service receptions and one fault on 44 attempts and had 23 digs and seven faults on 32 attempts. France had 46 excellent service receptions and five faults on 62 attempts. It also had 26 digs and 10 faults on 40 attempts.
No French player scored in double figures. Gerald Hardy-Dess scored nine points for France on four kills and five blocks. Stephane Antiga added nine points on seven kills, one block and France's only ace.
Among the United States' other scorers, middle blocker Max Holt (Cincinnati, Ohio) had four points on three kills and one block. Holt also provided consistent serving during several U.S. scoring runs. Setter Kevin Hansen (Newport Beach, Calif.) scored three points on one kill, one block and one ace and also provided consistent serves.
U.S. libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) led the United States in digs with seven and one fault on nine attempts. He also led the team in excellent receptions with 14 and one fault on 18 attempts. Priddy had 11 excellent receptions and no faults on 16 attempts.
Hansen was credited with 21 running sets and no faults on 58 attempts. A running set is defined as a set from a player that puts their hitter against one blocker or none.
U.S. Men's Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) started Priddy and Rooney at outside hitter, Lee and Holt at middle blocker, Stanley at opposite, Hansen at setter and Lambourne at libero.
Outside hitter Paul Lotman (Lakewood, Calif.) played as a substitute, primarily as a server. Setter Jonathan Winder (Irvine, Calif.) and opposite Carson Clark (Santa Barbara, Calif.) also entered the match briefly as substitutes.
In the first set the U.S. Men took a 5-1 lead, including two straight aces by Stanley, that led France to call timeout. Stanley's service error gave the ball back to France, but the U.S. held an 8-4 lead at the first technical timeout (TTO).The U.S. extended the lead to 10-5 after the timeout before France scored with a kill. The teams exchanged points until the U.S. lead was 12-8. A French service error gave the U.S. the ball and Stanley added to more points with an ace and a kill to give Team USA a 15-8 lead. France called timeout and a U.S. service error gave them the ball back, but Stanley made up for the error with a kill that put the United States ahead 16-10 at the second TTO. The U.S. barrage continued after the break as a Holt block and Stanley tip put the U.S. up 18-10. The teams exchanged service errors to make the score 19-11 before France used two straight blocks to cut the lead to 19-13. However a double block by Stanley and Lee put an end to the mini run and France threatened again. A Holt kill gave the U.S. set points at 24-15. The U.S. gave away a point on a service error, but France returned the favor to give Team USA the victory. Stanley finished the first set with eight points
The second set started close and the teams were tied at 5-5 when Team USA took a 6-5 lead with a block. Holt took the serve and the U.S. used a block, a kill from Stanley and a block by Lee to lead 8-5 at the first TTO. After the break, Antiga came out and scored on a quick attack. But a Rooney kill gave Hansen the serve and the U.S. scored the next two points on blocks from Stanley and Priddy to increase the U.S. lead to 11-6. The U.S. continued to lead by five at 13-8 when it put together a Stanley kill and French hitting error to increase the lead to seven. France scored on a U.S. serving error, but then committed its own error and put Stanley at the serve where he stayed for four more points including an ace and two kills and a block by Rooney. France called timeout and responded with a kill, but the damage was done. The teams traded points until the U.S. lead was 22-11. France scored three straight points, including a kill and block by Gerald Hardy-Dessources. But a Lee kill and Priddy block gave the United States set point and France's hitting error ended the set.
France took a 5-3 lead in the third set, but a Priddy block gave the serve to Holt and the U.S. scored the next three points, including a kill by Hansen off an overpass and a Lee block to give the U.S. an 8-5 lead at the first TTO. France scored on a kill, but the U.S. came back with four more straight points, including an ace from Hansen, a kill by Priddy and a block from Lee to lead 12-6. The U.S. Men led 16-9 at the second TTO and seemed to be well in control later, leading 19-13. But France came back with two strikes by Earvin Ngapeth and one by Nicolas Marechal to cut the least to 19-16. Knipe called timeout and Team USA came back to score three straight points, including two Priddy kills, to lead 22-16. France called timeout and came back with a 5-0 scoring run on a kill and three blocks along with a U.S. error. Once again, it was Stanley to the rescue with a block of Ngapeth that increased the U.S. lead to 23-21. A U.S. serving error brought France close again, but Lee blocked Ngapeth to give the U.S. match point. France scored one more time on a Marechal kill. But Rooney ended the match with a kill for the victory.

I'm revisiting my recipe I had already posted here on my blog for pasta and peas for two reasons.
First it's a really simple and easy to make dish but I wanted to zing it up with a bit of flavor from pancetta (pronounced pan-chet-ta).
The second reason to spice up this dish was I was asked for a recipe to be included in the program for a food show fundraiser where I will be volunteering my cooking skills.
This is a great opportunity for me and I hope to meet all kinds of people in the food business as well as Aarti Sequeira from the Food Network. She is making a guest appearance at Our Valley Cooks along with local chefs and many product exhibitors. I'm very excited for this. I just can hardly bear to wait until March 19th! I actually made an appointment for a special manicure the day before. And I am so not into my nails!!! Okay, on to the recipe and a few pictures.
Pasta with Peas and Pancetta
1 lb. Farfalle or Med. Shells
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 ounces frozen peas
½ cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
6 ounces diced pancetta
3 shallots, sliced fine
2 cloves garlic, sliced fine
salt and pepper
- Bring 4-6 quarts of water to a boil.
- Begin cooking the pancetta in skillet, cooking only until the fat is rendered, or becomes clear. Set aside.
- After adding the pasta to the water, heat ¼ cup olive oil on medium heat in a large skillet (large enough to hold the cooked pasta) until it shimmers. Add shallots and soften. Add garlic and only cook 2 minutes, do not brown the garlic as it becomes bitter.
- Add peas in the last 5 minutes of cooking the pasta, you can remove the pan from the heat if the shallots and garlic are done before this time.
- Add in about 1/2-3/4 cup of the pasta water when you add the peas. Season with a few pinches of fine kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Cook the peas until they are just soft, not mushy. Add in cooked pancetta and heat through.
- Drain pasta and add to the pan with peas, shallots and garlic. Add remaining oil and stir in ¾ cup of the cheese. Add more pasta water if it seems too dry.
- When serving, drizzle a little olive oil on each serving, pass remaining cheese at the table
I am also sending the link to this dish to Ruth at Presto Pasta Nights who is celebrating 4 years of hosting this online food party focusing on pasta! Whoohoo, happy birthday PPN!!!

Skip to comments.Americans and religion increasingly parting ways, new survey shows
Posted on 03/15/2013 10:01:46 PM PDT by TBP
Religious affiliation in the United States is at its lowest point since it began to be tracked in the 1930s, according to analysis of newly released survey data by researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, and Duke University. Last year, one in five Americans claimed they had no religious preference, more than double the number reported in 1990.
Fewer Americans affiliated with an organized religion, survey shows
UC Berkeley sociologists Mike Hout and Claude Fischer , along with Mark Chaves of Duke University, analyzed data on religious attitudes as part of the General Social Survey, a highly cited biannual poll conducted by NORC, an independent research institute at the University of Chicago.
Results of the survey which looked at numerous issues, including attitudes about gun ownership and how tax dollars should be spent, and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation are being released now and in coming weeks.
On American attitudes toward religion, UC Berkeley researchers found that 20 percent of a nationally representative group reported no religious preference. Thats a jump from 1990 when all but 8 percent of Americans polled identified with an organized faith.
This continues a trend of Americans disavowing a specific religious affiliation that has accelerated greatly since 1990, said Hout, lead author of the study.
Hout and Fischer are authors of the General Social Survey study that in 2002 first identified a rise in the number of unchurched. They are careful to distinguish the survey category of no religion, which means individuals who are not part of an organized religion, from atheists, who do not believe in God and made up just 3 percent of those interviewed last year. Meanwhile, just 8 percent of those surveyed said they were raised with no religion.
Responses in the survey were to the question, What is your religious preference? Is it Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, some other religion, or no religion?
An analysis of the results suggests the following:
Liberals are far more likely to claim no religion (40 percent) than conservatives (9 percent)
Men are more likely than women to claim no religion (24 percent of men versus 16 percent of women).
More whites claimed no religion (21 percent) compared to African Americans (17 percent) and Mexican Americans (14 percent).
More than one-third of 18-to-24-year-olds claimed no religion compared to just 7 percent of those 75 and older.
Residents of the Midwestern and Southern states were least likely to claim no religion compared to respondents in the Western, Mountain and Northeastern states. But Midwesterners and Southerners are catching up, Hout said.
Educational differences among those claiming no religion are small compared to other demographic differences.
About one-third of Americans identify with a conservative Protestant denomination, one-quarter are Catholics (although 35 percent were raised Catholic) and 1.5 percent are Jewish.
The General Social Survey has been tracking major social and cultural trends in American society since 1972, when only 5 percent of those polled claimed no religion. Since 1990, an uptick in those identifying themselves as following no particular religion has progressed steadily with 18 percent identifying as such in 2010 and 20 percent in 2012.
It looks as if religious organizations of all types -- Catholic, Protestant, non-Christian -- are seeing declines.
So how does one reach these "unchurched" and encourage them to get involved?
there are plenty of people looking for answers. and heck, just even someone to talk to.
The next best study from Berkley would be a study on religion in Amerika!
Two subjects about which Berkley would know very little, if anything.
Sad. Isn't this exactly what the marxists wanted?
With the left and media etc being at war against faith for decades, is anyone really surprised?
When most of what you watch on TV and hear in the news counters what the Bible says, what can you expect? Continuing a trend that appears to have been going on for a while.
From the beginning of time.
I was feelin kinda lonesome and blue
I needed somebody to talk to
So I called up the operator of time
Just to hear a voice of some kind
When you hear the beep it will be three oclock
She said that for over an hour
And I hung up
- Bob Dylan, Talkin' World War III Blues
I think religion has been far to closely identified with politics in the last 20-30 years.
Politicians are idiots..God is not.
When religious beliefs are perceived by the majority of the population as nothing more than political posturing..faith loses.
America was a unique experiment based on natural law. If America fails it will not be because the foundation was not strong but because we forgot where we came from and allowed politics to define our faith and undermine the foundation...
At the risk of getting slapped around I will post my thoughts. Guess I'm feeling brave this evening.
Many people don't affiliate with organized religion due to the recent bad press and demeanor of the churches.
That doesn't mean they don't pray, believe in God, believe in Jesus and the scripture.
Perhaps organized religion need so get back to it's roots. Perhaps people will return then. Not everyone that doesn't go to church is Godless.
The republican party just ran an anti-Christian cult leader who is in the process of becoming a God, as it's nominee, I would say that Christianity is in deep trouble in America.
People are embracing reason and logic in place of superstition and ignorance? I'm shocked!
We'll never see an article titled "Universities and Marxism increasingly parting ways", will we? I'm sure that Soviet higher educational facilities were churning out the anti-religious agitprop just like thiswith the only difference being the backing by the USSR's constitution, which explicitly granted special freedom to "antireligious propaganda" (Article 124 in the 1936 constitution, and Article 52 in the 1977 constitution as "atheistic propaganda").
No, people are embracing materialism, ironically because they are losing touch with nature.
So it's superstition to look at nature believe God created it as fact, and not only does He intervene in His creation, but also has a personal plan reconcile His creation (man) to Himself). The evidence that this is true both historically through archeology and geologically not counting.
Got ya.
People are embracing reason and logic in place of superstition and ignorance? Im shocked!
Perhaps you are shocked, I am not.
Many people today place their own reason and logic above that of a God they can not believe in.
Many people today are above such superstition and nonsense.
In my opinion, they consider themselves above any level they can not reach. Their ego demands it,
There is no evidence for god....yet.
And this trend isn't exactly improving life here, is it? The ungodly will crow until the sword falls.
I think it might be interesting to give these Berkly researchers a practical knowledge test to see if they really understand what religion is.
Just what is it that they call religion? those who believe in the Catholic Church,a protestant church, a church of satan, those who go to any organization called a church every week, those who go to the moose or elks or the masonic meetings, religion is about everything.
The reason i say that is because although i do believe in Jesus as my lord and i believe he died so that any one who believes in him might be saved i have no religion other than some regarding politics.
I also understand the need for evangelism as Jesus said you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free, but then what?
Some people are called to spread the word, some are to minister to those preaching the word, maybe some of us should just start trying to live as Jesus told us to.
Maybe the researchers should go over and walk up the hill that Jesus walked and just try to experience what it was really all about, maybe then they could think of a word other than religion.
Maybe their question should be this ( would you be willing to die for Jesus the Christ the way he died for you? )
I wonder what kind of a number they would come up with.
When most of what you watch on TV and hear in the news counters what the Bible says, what can you expect?
Two things:
First, saying you have "no religious preference" does not mean you have no religion. It doesn't even mean you are not a Christian believer.
Second, how do we reclaim the unchurched? We reclaim our own vision and offer that: Christ on a Cross, Christ's real resurrection, His gifts to us of redemption, salvation, forgiveness, and a life of wholeness (holiness) for individuals and families.
And, then, be there when they begin to question the emptiness of the life the world offers.
Throughout the Bible, God's faithful ones lived among the pagans, the wicked, and the violent. The Almighty has the power to send armies of angels to protect and deliver those who fear Him. Those that He loves.
Be encouraged. God rules in the affairs of men.
"For this has been decreed by the messengers; it is commanded by the holy ones, so that everyone may know that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of the world. He gives them to anyone he chooses--even to the lowliest of people."
Daniel 4:17
Mike Hout, one of the researchers on this paper, is the same Berkeley professor who, along with a few of his first year sociology grad students, published the bogus and now thoroughly debunked study of the effect of electronic voting in Florida during 2004 presidential election.
Original 2004 news story:
Wired magazine article discussing the debunking Hout's e-vote analysis:
For what it's worth, I don't believe Hout is stupid. I just think he has very little issue with skewing analysis to fit his (far Left) political agenda. I'm skeptical of any paper with his name on it.
"People are embracing reason and logic in place of superstition and ignorance? Im shocked!"
The University has gone from the science and reason pursuing establishment that the Church gave to the world to the leftist cesspool it is today, so I'd say you got it exactly backward.
That's true, it's a Buzerk-ly study so what did they do survey the bathhouses of SF? I'm sure they could also come up with a study showing 99.96% of the population favors 0bamacare.
Exactly. I figure reason and logic will be legally classified as "hate crimes" any day now.
"We have to spend money to keep from going bankrupt."-Joe Biden
Truth must of necessity be stranger than fiction...for fiction is the creation of the human mind, and therefore is congenial to it. - GK Chesterton
His writings are inspirational. The Everlasting Man and Orthodoxy are two of my favorites.
It's an Obamaville Marxist fad. Men and women thinking with their lady's parts which serves those who want to "rule" over them.
Americans should get away from religion and instead have a personal relationship with their Lord and Savior. Christianity is not a religion. Religions are not Christianity.
Sure there is look around you at nature. This did not come from nothing.
2) Your heart, if you are honest is wicked (you may claim but I do GOOD), but if you are honest this still doesn't satisfy because it is done with your own righteous standard...God will still judge you and you won't find peace untill you trust Christ.
Here's hoping that God opens your eyes. -JS

Autopsies delay charges in triple homicide
CANON CITY — Due to the magnitude of the work involved, autopsies on three homicide victims are taking much longer than anticipated.
According to Fremont County Coroner Carlette Brocious, El Paso County coroner officials started work on the autopsies of murder victims Mason, 5, Marissa, 9, and their mother, Mandy Folsom, 35, at 8 a.m. Wednesday and by 4 p.m. still had not completed work on the first of the three victims.
"It is going to take longer than I thought. We may not have anything (in terms of cause of death) until Monday," Brocious said.
Homicide suspect Jaacob Van Winkle, 31, who was living in the home as a friend of Mandy Folsom, is accused of killing all three. The victims were found dead Sunday evening at the family home at 1113 Phay Ave.
Charges won't be filed against Van Winkle until next week because District Attorney Thom LeDoux is awaiting autopsy results.
Van Winkle also is accused of raping Folsom's teenage daughter. The daughter, whose name will not be released, was able to get away from her attacker and make her way to a neighbor's house where a 911 call was placed.
