The new temple built in honor of St. Andrew the First-Called Apostle in Riverside, California is now complete. St. Andrew Orthodox Church is hosting an Open House for the community (and anyone who is able to come from far and near) in just a few days, on October 15 & 16. We would be honored to have you join us for a tour of the new temple and a light snack.
The crown of our holy work of church building is the Divine Service of Consecration. This sacrament, performed only by the Orthodox episcopate, is scheduled for Saturday, December 3rd, 2011. It is the culmination of our parish's history thus far, and will be the pinnacle of all our efforts for the last twenty years.
The Service of Consecration will be followed by our once in a lifetime Consecration Banquet. It will be both a unique celebration and our most significant parish fundraiser ever. One of the central ways that we will raise funds through the consecration banquet is the printing of the St. Andrew Consecration Souvenir Journal. This book will be professionally printed and contain letters of commendation from our Archbishop and Bishop, from civil officials, as well as a photo collage and history of the parish, together with individual ads of greeting, celebration and memorial from individuals and families in our parish as well as our friends from our sister parishes.
Please read our open house invitation. We hope to see you there!
Join us in building homes for the poor! Registration is now open for our 2012 Project Mexico summer work trips.
Project Mexico & St. Innocent Orphanage is a pan-Orthodox ministry that operates with the blessing of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops. Our orphanage for teenage boys is based in Rosarito, Mexico and is currently home to thirty-one boys who have histories of abuse and abandonment. During the summers, our homebuilding ministry builds sturdy, weather-proof homes for impoverished Mexican families in the area surrounding our orphanage.
This past summer over 300 volunteers from all over the U.S. and Canada built 14 homes for needy families in our area. Many came to serve the poor, yet received far more in return than that which they gave, calling their trip "life-changing" and "spiritually rejuvenating". We are currently planning our trips for next summer, and we ask that your parish consider participating in a homebuilding trip with our ministry. We can accomodate groups of any size and welcome high schoolers and college students as well as adults.
Go here for Information and Registration.
Bishop Thomas with Kansas college studentsBrookline, MA -- October 11, 2011
Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF) presents October as Orthodox Awareness Month, an OCF effort to foster awareness of Orthodoxy and educate students on college campuses across North America.
Throughout the month of October, OCF chapters are encouraged to set up informational tables on campus, offer Orthodoxy 101 sessions, host speakers and facilitate intriguing chapter events, which feature a church service or religious discussion as well as fellowship.
"Liturgy, translated as 'the work of the people,' is not limited to the church building," says John Mahfouz, National Programs Director. "For Orthodox Christians, our call is to leave the church and continue the 'Divine Work' of bringing Christ to others; of sharing the sweetness of His love which is found in the teachings of our Holy Fathers, with those around us. For a College Student, the Liturgy continues on campus!"
The Fall Session for the St. John Chrysostom Academy will start on Wednesday, October 19th and last until December 14th. This Fall's course is the "The Letter to the Romans," and will be offered on Wednesdays from 7:30-9:30pm at St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church, 1220 S. 60th Court, Cicero, IL 60804. The St. John Chrysostom Academy is an Adult Lay Educational Ministry of the Fellowship of St. John the Divine at St. George.

The First Annual Bible Lecture Series, featuring Fr. Paul Tarazi (firstname.lastname@example.com), will be hosted at by Fr. Aaron Warwick (email@example.com) and the congregation of St. Mary Orthodox Church in Wichita, Kansas, Friday and Saturday, October 28th and 29th.
Fr. Paul is a renowned author and speaker, and is Professor of Old Testament at St. Vladimir's Seminary in Crestwood, New York.
The topic will be The Epistle of the Holy Apostle Paul to the Ephesians. For details view the lecture series flyer or contact the office at St. Mary Church (email@example.com). The flyer explains, "The epistle functions as a farewell speech similar to the one he gave to the elders at the Ephesus Church before heading towards his death. As both a final testament and universal letter to all the Pauline Churches, Ephesians is rich in content and addresses all major issues related to Paul's mission to the Gentiles."
The Department of Statistics and Credentials reminds parishes that a significant portion of the funding that is required by the Archdiocese comes from the assessments and Special Trays which are paid by each parish to the Archdiocese on an annual basis. The final Special Tray Offering should be conducted on one of the Sundays in October, and is slated to collect financial contributions for the three Orthodox Seminaries who help to prepare future Antiochian priests. We ask that you contribute generously to support these seminaries and their most important role in the training of our future priests. Please note that the third Sunday in October is designated as Special Olympics Awareness Day, and our teens make a collection to support Special Olympics. Therefore the special seminary tray collection should not take place on the third Sunday of October.
St. George Orthodox Church, Flint, MIBishop-Elect for the Diocese Toledo, Archimandrite Anthony MIchaels, has announced that St. George Orthodox Church of Flint, Michigan will be the host for the fall diocesan gathering.
The event, described by the flyer as "Midwest Fellowship and Fun," will take place over the weekend of October 28-30, 2011, with an informal clergy gathering kicking off the weekend on October 28th.
A full schedule of services will be observed, and SOYO, Christian Education, Antiochian Women and the Fellowship of St. John will all hold meetings.

Brookline, MA -- September 19, 2011
In keeping with its renewed focus of developing and sustaining local campus-based fellowships, the leadership of Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF) is excited to announce its latest ministry expansion, this time to the Kansas City metropolitan area.
From September 25-30, Bishop Thomas of the Antiochian Archdiocese and Fr. Michael Nasser, OCF's North American Chaplain, will visit with the clergy, students and Orthodox faithful in the Kansas City area. The goal of their trip is to assist the local clergy and laity in organizing an effective ministry to students studying at local colleges and universities.
"Living an Orthodox Christian life is not easy for anyone, but it's uniquely challenging these days for our Orthodox college students," stated Bishop Thomas. "I hope we can find ways to bring the Church's support and strength to them where and when they need it most."
Fr. Michael added his own interest in this expanded effort in the Kansas City area:
"One of things I enjoy most about my work is coming into an area where we've had little or no Orthodox presence on the local campuses and seeing the Orthodox churches in the area unite and mobilize to minister to both their own young people as well as the entire campus population."

CICERO, IL [Synergy] — Orthodox Christian Synergy, the Chicago-area Pan-Orthodox association, will host its 17th annual Symposium at Saint George Antiochian Orthodox Church, Cicero, IL, on Saturday, October 15, 2011. Protopresbyter Thomas Hopko will address the symposium theme, "Orthodoxy and Homosexuality."
According to Michele Hagerman, Synergy President and member of the Diocese of the Midwest's Holy Resurrection Church, Palatine, IL, "the scope of this symposium is a frank presentation about homosexuality as an issue of Orthodox faith and life facing the faithful. The intention is to focus on how Orthodoxy understands the phenomena of homosexuality, how Orthodox Christians with same-sex attractions are to deal with their condition, and how Orthodox Christians, especially clergymen and family members, are to relate to Orthodox Christians and all people who are same-sex attracted, rather than focusing on related cultural, social, or legal issues."
Father Thomas will offer two presentations: "Theological Vision: Orthodox Christian Faith and Human Sexuality" and "Spiritual Practice: Orthodox Christian Life and Homosexual Attraction and Behavior."

1 Corinthians: A Commentaryby Very Rev. Dr. Paul Nadim Tarazi
The Chrysostom Bible Commentary Series is not so much in honor of John Chrysostom as it is to continue and promote his legacy as an interpreter of the biblical texts for preaching and teaching God's congregation. In this volume , the author, Paul Nadim Tarazi, argues that the "truth of the gospel, whose sole champion was Paul, did not entail something new to be added to the Old Testament Law, which is the expression of God's will for all ages...The Pauline letters," he explains, "were conceived to spread this message as scripture...among all those letters, 1 Corinthians holds the place of honor."
The V. Rev. Dr. Paul Nadim Tarazi is Professor of Biblical Studies and Languages at St. Vladimir's Orthodox theological Seminary. He is the author of a three volume Introduction to the Old Testament, a four volume Introduction to the New Testament, Galatians: A Commentary, 1 Thessalonians: A Commentary, Land and Covenant, and the Chrysostom Bible, Genesis: A Commentary, Philippians: A Commentary, Romans: A Commentary and Colossians & Philemon: A Commentary. His Audio Bible Commentaries on the books of the New Testament are available online through the Orthodox Center for the Advancement of Biblical Studies (OCABS).
His Grace Bishop Thomas writes:
Beloved in Christ,
Your prayers are requested for the repose of the soul of the servant of God the Archpriest James Deep. Fr. James is retired and the former pastor of St. Anthony Church in Butler, Pennsylvania. Funeral arrangements are pending.

The North Platte High School softball team quaified for the state tournament for the first time since 2004 Friday after dominating McCook 9-1 in the district championship game.
The Lady Dawgs defeated McCook 9-1 in the B-6 final with the help of a four-run fifth inning.

Then in the fourth, North Platte scored two more. Kylie Engleman crossed the plate on a wild pitch by Courney Bradley, and then Franzen hit a two-out single.
The Lady Dawgs broke the game wide open in the fifth. Kenzi Wiseman claimed the single-season NPHS home run record with a homer to make the score 5-1. Engleman followed with a two-run homer shortly thereafter.

No, they have the dibs on the Bay Bridge. The Brooklyn Bridge is an infinitely more famous bridge. A logo with the Brooklyn Bridge would be much better than that bland crap above.

As a former ABA team, wish they'd keep their colors as homage to their ancestry.
I know it seems counter-intuitive to you non-business types out there, but too much bridgery can really bog down a professional sports league, especially when we're propping up second-tier bridges that just don't inspire loyalty in their fan base. I've read a lot of studies about this, and from a purely economic perspective, the Brooklyn Bridge consistently ranks behind the Golden Gate Bridge, the George Washington Bridge, and even the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan. Those three are the only bridges in America - with the possible exception of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge - that have the brand recognition necessary to support an NBA team. You'd be crazy to think otherwise.
I'll give a lesson to those who might be implied to take your post seriously....
The Warriors logo isn't the Golden Gate Bridge, it's the Bay Bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge goes from SF to Marin County, CA. The Warriors logo is the Bay Bridge, which links SF and Oakland (where the Warriors play).
The Golden Gate and Brookly Bridge are without a doubt the most famous bridges in the country. I would think a Bridge expert like you would at least understand that, even though you apparently didn't realize that the Warriors logo was not the Golden Gate.
George Washington? Come on, it's a big bridge but it is no way as famous as the Brooklyn which is older and is far more photographed. The George Washington is way up in northern Manhattan, a good distance away from the skyscrapers. The Brooklyn OTOH goes right into the heart of Lower Manhattan and it's one of the most photographed areas in the country.
Mackinac Bridge? LOL, that's an insult to the true historic bridges of this country.
Anyone who vaults your lame bridges (with the exception of Golden Gate) above a beautiful historic one that goes right into the heart of Wall Street is the crazy one.
First off, I never once said the Warriors' logo represented the Golden Gate Bridge. I simply stated that the Golden Gate Bridge was one of the few left in America that could support a franchise on its own merits.
Secondly, I also never claimed to be a bridge expert. I'm a bridge and tunnel enthusiast, sure, but I'm a Bridgery Interpretation Specialist by trade.
Allow me to crack an egg of knowledge all over you. There is already a professional sports team that incorporates the Brooklyn Bridge into their logo - the New York Metropolitans. Complex analyses of the Mets' utilization of bridgery has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the Brooklyn Bridge just doesn't inspire confidence in the Tri-State Area fan base that other bridges would. A government study suggested that using the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, popularly known as the Triborough Bridge, would likely push the Mets past the Yankees as the most popular baseball team in the Empire State.
Lastly, I do not like your tone. You implore other posters not to take my post seriously and go so far as to claim that I'm the crazy one, despite the fact that I have more expertise and experience in the field. I don't usually stoop to name-calling, but you come off sounding a lot like an uncultured railroad zealot. Stick to the dead iron, buddy!

Most interesting bridge discussion ever! Heeeeeeeel Yeeeeah
You try hard to be funny in a subtle sort of way that probably goes over most people's heads, I'll give you that. Definitely an A for effort. Well done.
Depending on what colors they go with, I actually have some confidence in Jay-Z to make this a pretty respectable look. The logo might be a little bland, but most of the widely respected and cherished sports logos are simple, clean, and bold. Think of the Yankees' "NY," the Packers' "G," Bears' "C," and Colts' Horseshoe.
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.

I understand that he will be a restricted free agent this summer. I know Toronto has said they want to keep him. TJ Ford is starting for them, and I know they want a solid backup.
That said, he is a hellofa point guard. 26 years old, good vision, sick A/TO, and can score when needed.
Jose is one of about 10 point guards I really covet, and possibly the only one we could get. I know there are plenty of okay guys out there, but I'm through with okay point guards.
If we don't grab a gem in the draft, I'd want someone like JC running the point. Hell, I'd jump off the fence to the "Support Bird" side.

'This Wonderful Life'
ALBANY -- If you love the film "It's a Wonderful Life" (and who doesn't?), there is a very good chance you'll like "This Wonderful Life," playing at Capital Repertory Theatre through Dec. 22. The 70-minute, one-man show is a thumbnail homage to the original.
Larry Daggett's performance captures the essence of the film and the personalities of the characters. Nonetheless, it's important you come to the show with knowledge of the film. If for some unimaginable reason you don't know the plot you won't be lost, but you probably won't feel connected to the emotions of the story.
The first two-thirds of the work is really a setup for the feel-good conclusion, when George Bailey discovers his average life has meaning. On stage we are told about his life; in the film we experience it.
Though Daggett is charming, the first part of the show seems a reverential rehash. The most fun comes when Daggett, as a narrator, has a good time with some of the work's more outlandish plot devices.
Why, indeed, does small Bedford Falls have an extravagant swimming pool under a retractable gym floor? And what were George and Mary really thinking when he "accidently" stood on Mary's robe and she had to hide naked in the bushes? Such moments that poke gentle fun at the story lighten the mood and add freshness to the presentation. I wish there were more of them.
Once the material becomes dramatic, Daggett is given an opportunity to showcase his fine acting skills instead of simply being an affable guide through the film.
"This Wonderful Life" respects its source material and is a mildly pleasant evening of holiday entertainment.
"This Wonderful Life" is at Capital Repertory Theatre in Albany Tuesdays through Sundays through Dec. 22. Call |445-7469 or go to www. capitalrep.org for tickets and schedule information.
'Ding Dong'
LATHAM -- "Ding Dong" is the height of counter-programming. While many entertainment venues focus on producing holiday-themed shows this time of year, Curtain Call Theatre in Latham is presenting a comic farce about couples coupling.
More accurately, "Ding Dong" is about individuals being foiled in their attempts to couple. As with most farces, the plot is simple until it becomes complicated.
Bernard (Victor Kahn) discovers that his wife, Jacqueline (Tara Burnham), is having regular Saturday afternoon love-making sessions with Robert (Chuck Conroy). Bernard confronts his wife's lover and offers Robert a choice -- be killed or permit Bernard to seduce Robert's wife.
Robert agrees to the latter, but in an attempt to save his wife's virtue, he hires an escort, Barbara (Erin Waterhouse), to act as his wife at a dinner with Bernard and Jacqueline at their home.
Everything goes well until Juliette (Angela B. Potrikus), Robert's real wife, shows up and must pretend she is someone else. Add to this mix Marie-Louise (Katherine Brillat), a servant who is always walking out of the kitchen to find Bernard in what appears to be a love-making situation with just about everyone else in the cast.
"Ding Dong" is a decent comedy that offers indecent humor. But it never realizes its potential to become a hilarious no-holds-barred farce because the cast fails to find the urgency in the situation.
There is a calmness about the goings-on that denies the desperation. It is difficult to believe Kahn's cool, calm and collected Bernard is really a vengeful man and a sexual predator, or that Conroy's Robert really fears for his life.
Because the women are more responders than they are drivers of the action, they fare better.
"Ding Dong" is at |Curtain Call Theatre at 210 Old Loudon Roadthrough Dec. 23. Tickets are $22.

After critical acclaim with his project XXX, Detroit native Danny Brown returns again with his highly anticipated debut album, Old. With familiar producers, including Paul White, SKYWLKR, and Rustie, Brown delivers a 19-track album, splitting the LP into 2 sides, Side A and Side B.
Side A is the side of the project that has Brown over more traditional sounding hip-hop beats, but with the Danny Brown flair that fans love that you can hear on XXX. The opening track, "Old", has Brown spitting ferocious verses stating that his fans and others want the "old Danny Brown" back, but telling fans that he's always been here.
The highlight of the album comes right after the intro, with "The Return", which featuring fellow gangster rapper Freddie Gibbs. The track is a reimagining of the classic Outkast track "Return of the G". Laced over a smooth beat from Paul White, Danny and Gibbs steal the album with fantastic verses, equally as good to each other. A must listen.
Side A continues to impress with tracks like "Clean Up", going into the personal problems of Danny Brown's life, the grimy production of "Dope Fiend Rental" including a zany Schoolboy Q delivering a great verse as well, and the eerie "Lonely" that sounds like a fairy tale story gone wrong.
Side B introduces a new side of Danny Brown that has been emerging as of late with features on "1Train" off ASAP Rocky's debut album, that includes the hyper and high-pitched flow that is truly love or hate.
The highlight on Side B is the production; with absolutely ridiculous beats that only Danny Brown could rap on. The A-Track produced "Break It (Go)" will make any sound system rumble with bass and the EDM produced "Smokin and Drinkin" will be a fan favorite at live shows.
Side B seems as if it was made to be played live, and his dedicated fans will go crazy to these tracks, as well as Danny himself.
A lot of speculation was going into this album talking about if Danny could replicate the greatness that is found on XXX, and Danny has delivered. Catering to the traditional hip-hop fans on Side A as well as EDM and trap lovers on Side B, with absolutely fantastic production on every track, this album was made for fans of multiple genres and Danny delivers on all fronts.

Acqua Alta (Guido Brunetti #5)by Donna Leon
As Venice braces for a winter storm, the Italian sleuth Commissario Guido Brunetti finds out that an old friend has been savagely beaten at the palazzo home of a reigning diva. Then, as flood waters rise, a corpse is discovered. Brunetti must wade through the chaotic city to solve his deadliest case yet.
Beastly Things (Guido Brunetti #21)by Donna Leon
When the body of a man is found in a canal, damaged by the tides, carrying no wallet, and wearing only one shoe, Commissario Guido Brunetti has little to work with. No local has filed a missing-person report, and no hotel guests have disappeared. Where was the crime scene? And how can he identify the man when he can't show pictures of his face? The autopsy shows a way forward: it turns out the man was suffering from a rare, disfiguring disease. With Inspector Vianello, Brunetti canvasses shoe stores, and winds up on the mainland in Mestre, outside his usual sphere. From a shopkeeper, they learn that the man had a kindly way with animals. At the same time, animal rights and meat consumption are quickly becoming preoccupying issues at the Venice Questura, and in Brunetti's home, where conversation at family meals offers a window into the joys and conflicts of Italian life. Perhaps with the help of Signorina Elettra, Brunetti and Vianello can identify the man and understand why someone wanted him dead. As subtle and engrossing as the other Commissario Brunetti tales, Leon's Beastly Things is immensely enjoyable, intriguing, and ultimately moving.
By Its Cover (Commissario Guido Brunetti Mystery #23)by Donna Leon
Donna Leon's critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling Commissario Guido Brunetti series has attracted readers the world over with the beauty of its setting, the humanity of its characters, and its fearlessness in exploring politics, morality, and contemporary Italian culture. <P> In the pages of Leon's novels, the beloved conversations of the Brunetti family have drawn on topics of art and literature, but books are at the heart of this novel in a way they never have been before. One afternoon, Commissario Guido Brunetti gets a frantic call from the director of a prestigious Venetian library. Someone has stolen pages out of several rare books. After a round of questioning, the case seems clear: the culprit must be the man who requested the volumes, an American professor from a Kansas university. The only problem--the man fled the library earlier that day, and after checking his credentials, the American professor doesn't exist. <P> As the investigation proceeds, the suspects multiply. And when a seemingly harmless theologian, who had spent years reading at the library turns up brutally murdered, Brunetti must question his expectations about what makes a man innocent, or guilty.
Death at la Fenice (Guido Brunetti #1)by Donna Leon
There is little violent crime in Venice, a serenely beautiful floating city of mystery and magic, history and decay. But the evil that does occasionally rear its head is the jurisdiction of Guido Brunetti, the suave, urbane vice-commissario of police and a genius at detection. Now all of his admirable abilities must come into play in the deadly affair of Maestro Helmut Wellauer, a world-renowned conductor who died painfully from cyanide poisoning during an intermission at La Fenice. But as the investigation unfolds, a chilling picture slowly begins to take shape -- a detailed portrait of revenge painted with vivid strokes of hatred and shocking depravity. And the dilemma for Guido Brunetti will not be finding a murder suspect, but rather narrowing the choices down to one ...
Falling In Love (Commissario Guido Brunetti #24)by Donna Leon
Donna Leon's Death at La Fenice, the first novel in her beloved Commissario Guido Brunetti series, introduced readers to the glamorous and cutthroat world of opera and one of Italy's finest living sopranos, Flavia Petrelli—then a suspect in the poisoning of a renowned German conductor. Years after Brunetti cleared her name, Flavia has returned to Venice and La Fenice to sing the lead in Tosca.<P><P> Brunetti and his wife, Paola, attend an early performance, and Flavia receives a standing ovation. Back in her dressing room, she finds bouquets of yellow roses—too many roses. Every surface of the room is covered with them. An anonymous fan has been showering Flavia with these beautiful gifts in London, St. Petersburg, Amsterdam, and now, Venice, but she no longer feels flattered. A few nights later, invited by Brunetti to dine at his in-laws' palazzo, Flavia confesses her alarm at these excessive displays of adoration. And when a talented young Venetian singer who has caught Flavia's attention is savagely attacked, Brunetti begins to think that Flavia's fears are justified in ways neither of them imagined. He must enter in the psyche of an obsessive fan before Flavia, or anyone else, comes to harm.
The Golden Egg (Guido Brunetti #22)by Donna Leon
In 'The Golden Egg', as the first leaves of autumn begin to fall, Vice Questore Patta asks Brunetti to look into a minor shop-keeping violation committed by the mayor's future daughter-in-law. Brunetti has no interest in helping his boss amass political favors, but he has little choice but to comply. Then Brunetti's wife, Paola, comes to him with a request of her own. The mentally handicapped man who worked at their dry cleaner has just died of a sleeping pill overdose, and Paola loathes the idea that he lived and died without anyone noticing him, or helping him. Brunetti begins to investigate the death and is surprised when he finds nothing on the man: no birth certificate, no passport, no driver's license, no credit cards. As far as the Italian government is concerned, he never existed. Stranger still, the dead man's mother refuses to speak to the police, and assures Brunetti that her son's identification papers were stolen in a burglary. As secrets unravel, Brunetti suspects that the Lembos, an aristocratic family, might be somehow connected to the death. But why would anyone want this sweet, simple-minded man dead?
Suffer the Little Children (Guido Brunetti #16)by Donna Leon
In the night, Brunetti is summoned to the hospital bed of a senior pediatrician. Three men had burst into the doctor's apartment, attacked him, left him mute, and took his eighteen-month-old boy. Why?
Uniform Justice (Guido Brunetti #12)by Donna Leon
Guido Brunetti, the world-weary Venetian commissario, faces an unsettling case that hits particularly close to home for him, since he has a young son.
The Waters Of Eternal Youth (Commissario Guido Brunetti #25)by Donna Leon
In Donna Leon's Commissario Guido Brunetti series, the Venetian inspector has been called on to investigate many things, from shocking to petty crimes. But inThe Waters of Eternal Youth, the 25th novel in this celebrated series, Brunetti finds himself drawn into a case that may not be a case at all. Fifteen years ago, a teenage girl fell into a canal late at night. Unable to swim, she went under and started to drown, only surviving thanks to a nearby man, an alcoholic, who heard her splashes and pulled her out, though not before she suffered irreparable brain damage that left her in a state of permanent childhood, unable to learn or mature. The drunk man claimed he saw her thrown into the canal by another man, but the following day he couldn't remember a thing. Now, at a fundraising dinner for a Venetian charity, a wealthy and aristocratic patroness--the girl's grandmother--asks Brunetti if he will investigate. Brunetti's not sure what to do. If a crime was committed, it would surely have passed the statute of limitations. But out of a mixture of curiosity, pity, and a willingness to fulfill the wishes of a guilt-wracked older woman, who happens to be his mother-in-law's best friend, he agrees. Brunetti soon finds himself unable to let the case rest, if indeed there is a case. Awash in the rhythms and concerns of contemporary Venetian life, from historical preservation, to housing, to new waves of African migrants, and the haunting story of a woman trapped in a damaged perpetual childhood,The Waters of Eternal Youth is another wonderful addition to this series.

Go Deep
Deep Impact's 360 C keeps all the sizzle, but adds some comfort to the speed equation.
First things first, how'd you like to go 58 knots in a 36-foot open boat? Can you picture it? The wind whipping so fast that everything that's not tied down flies away, the ocean spray nailing you in the face so hard it feels like hail, and the boat's engines whining like an angry mosquito trapped inside your ear. It's a wild, crazy ride, and you can have it onboard the Deep Impact 360 C. The model is about as close as you can come to owning a true muscle boat while still retaining a measure of onboard comfort. Her twin-stepped hull combines with optional triple 300-horsepower Mercury Verados to get the boat up on plane so fast the G-forces will literally pin you to your seat. From idle she's out of the hole in seven seconds—after 19 seconds, she has already hit 51 knots. And then she goes faster. And acceleration is incredibly important in a boat like this. You'll hear it from owners of performance machines—be they motorcycles, speed boats, or PWCs—top-end speed is nice, but once inertia kicks in, speed doesn't matter as much as acceleration. That's where the thrill is. And the 360 C has more thrills than Great Adventure.
The Deep Impact's steering is, as you might expect, exceptionally nimble, and—cliché as it may be—she really does perform like one of those aforementioned PWCs, particularly considering how exposed the passengers are to the elements. Her ride is unarguably exhilarating. Owners stepping up (pun intended) from a more traditional modified-V hull would be wise to take some lessons on how to handle the 360 C, since stepped hulls have their own quirks. The ride is generally not quite as predictable as one might be accustomed to, and sharp turns can be a real trick. (Pro tip: Ease into that turn.) These attributes are thanks to the hydrodynamics of those steps, which essentially allow the boat to "float," so to speak, on a cushion of air. But once an owner does get a handle on the hull's idiosyncrasies, the only thing left to do is hold on tight and smile into the wind.
The 360 C's exterior is about as eye-popping as her performance numbers are. Her sheerline rolls ever so sweetly from bow to stern, bending and curving in all the right places. Deep Impact also mixes its own paints, which means your boat can be just about any color you'd like. My test boat (shown here) was Harley-Davidson copper. That's a shade Deep Impact came up with after one of their customers saw a chopper with a particular hue he just had to have. I should point out, the Harley-Davidson copper is not to be confused with the Lamborghini copper. No, that's an entirely different bird altogether. Never let it be said that Deep Impact doesn't like to be flashy. This boat is about as South Beach as boats get. One can just imagine a modern-day Sonny Crockett hitting up the Miami P.D.'s brass for the 400 grand or so to procure one, just so he could "blend into the scene."
But that's not to say that this boat doesn't have some serious construction cred. The 360 has five stringers—two mains, two smaller ones, and one in the keel—that help keep her rigid and strong, even when slapping against waves at breakneck speeds. The day I had her out just south of Miami's Haulover Cut the seas were whipped up by some pretty strong gusts into a solid two-foot chop replete with whitecaps. We weren't exactly crossing the Gulf Stream in a gale, but it wasn't glass either, and the 360 C handled it with aplomb. No doubt a main source of the boat's surprisingly sturdy ride is her not-insignificant dry weight of 13,000 pounds, which helps keep her from feeling like a potato chip.
Deep Impact knows this boat will be used to go fast and hard, and this knowledge evinces itself onboard, where the boat is engineered with admirable ruggedness. Case in point, the beefy Latham tie bar on the Mercury mounts, which lends the whole outboard setup durability, and the boat stability. Another case in point, the battery boxes are bolted into the sole to prevent jostling at high speeds. And lastly—a detail I was thankful for during my test—the seats onboard are all soft and plush, so you don't compress your spine flying off the crest of a wave at 45 knots, as I suspect some Deep Impact owners may be wont to do.
Another onboard highlight of the 360 C is her cuddy cabin, which, unlike many boats of this type, is one you might actually like to hit the hay in. The convertible V-berth is 7 feet long plus, and big enough for one, or maybe two, people to easily get some decent shuteye in it. Yes, doing an overnight on a boat like this might often sound better on paper, but still, it's nice to have the option. An indoor sink, fridge, and head make her even more livable, should you want to pop over to Bimini and forego a hotel room. (Emphasis on pop—with a cruise speed of about 50 knots with the triple Mercs, you can theoretically get from Ft. Lauderdale to Alice Town in about an hour.)
The boat's helm is well-suited for that kind of travel with three performance-worthy bolster seats—the kind with the armrests that help hold you in place. There are also sharp-looking carbon-fiber control panels and an optional Garmin GPSMAP 5212 screen to aid with navigation. Lastly, the helm has what Deep Impact's onboard representative half-jokingly (I think) referred to as "the most important thing on the boat." That is, the iPod dock hooked up to JL Audio marine speakers.
That's a telling quote insomuch as it points up that Deep Impact understands its place in the market. The company lists among its major competitors NorTech, Cigarette, and Intrepid. Those are, of course, boatbuilders with very different goals in mind. Many Intrepid models are all-purpose, highly customizable, SUV-type boats, albeit with attention paid to performance. Meanwhile NorTech and Cigarette are the Corvettes and Ferraris of the marine world. Deep Impact has nestled itself right in between these two kinds of boats. The stepped hull, brawny power packages, and high speeds its models boast may very well knock the socks off a more traditional center console owner. Indeed, at speeds less than 30 knots, the 360 C almost feels peevish, like holding an amped-up puppy in your arms when all it wants to do is tear around the backyard. However, the boat is certainly more user friendly (not to mention fishable) than a purebred go-fast, and generally easier to handle. The 360 C is, essentially, a boat built for a hard-charging good time. Crank up the tunes, rev up the engines, and take off like a bat out of hell—and do it all in relative comfort. If that sounds good to you, then good luck, and Godspeed.

I'm on a cable modem right now, but it's one we're renting from our ISP. I want to buy a modem and not have to pay the rental on this one anymore.
My question is, should I have any concern over the new modem somehow not working?
I'm fairly confident that if I buy a diff. cable modem (I was looking at a linksys one; I'm renting a USRobotics right now), that it will just hook up and work like the old one did, but Murphy's Law is in full effect when it comes to me and electronics, so I'm here to ask if I should have any problems?
Also, am I correct in thinking there really won't be a diff. in performance? I mean, this modem's worked well, but the Linksys one should too, right?

It's Not Easy Being Clean
Sustainability Will Happen When We All Learn a New Economic Calculus
By Katherine Bonfante, Digital Managing Editor
Sustainability is not new. In the paper and plastics industries, recycling has been a way of life since the 1960s. For years, even decades, some manufacturers have been involved with cogeneration, alternate energy, water reuse/recycling and chemical reuse, and many more companies are following their example. What is new is the insistence from the public, the economic community and the government that we must be sustainable now. Add to that the growing understanding that sustainability efforts can drop quickly to the bottom line, and you have much more than a feel-good marketing effort. Now you're talking about a sensible business strategy that's a win-win for manufacturers, their customers and the environment.
The Economic Calculus
At the Siemens User Summit in 2008, Bruce Taylor, then with Suncor Energy USA Inc. (www.suncor.com), described the sustainability task that its executive management set for him. They asked Taylor and his team to produce a viable energy management system. The first challenge they addressed was not on the plant floor, but in the accounting department.
"We started building awareness that energy is not a fixed cost," said Taylor. "There was an 'abundance' energy mentality with aggressive focus on production growth. Our energy and carbon dioxide costs were not fully valued. Our energy budgets would more than double if fuel internally consumed was assigned a cost. There was distributed accountability for energy management, and there was a lack of linkages between targets and performance."
Taylor continued, "Just from shaping behavior, we can impact a 3% to 5% annual improvement in energy costs, culminating in a cumulative improvement of 25% to 30% in carbon footprint."
How is the new mentality different from the old? There's no entry in a cost-accounting rollup for saving the environment or moderating global climate change.
What happened is best described by a concept called the "economic calculus." As with the air and water pollution control drives that erupted in the 1960s after the publication of Rachel Carson's The Silent Spring, the economic calculus was widened to permit those costs to be incorporated into the ongoing operating costs of an enterprise.
No company today would think twice about including air or water or solid waste pollution controls and mitigation strategies in a new or rehab plant design. The management support Taylor received is a clear indication that the economic calculus is widening once again, this time in favor of sustainable manufacturing.
More New Math—Sustainability Drivers
"Energy is a hot topic right now, mainly because of the volatility of energy costs," says Marcia Walker, global market development manager for sustainable production at Rockwell Automation (www.rockwellautomation.com). "For the past 12 months, energy costs have gone down. However, industry professionals are preparing for the future, and they want to able to keep energy costs under control, especially because energy is the largest variable production cost."
The cap-and-trade policies under discussion now have also put energy costs in the spotlight. Whatever the final shape of these policies, manufacturers want to be ready—and controlling energy costs is part of that preparedness. From an environmental perspective, when manufacturers are able to control carbon emissions, they also are able to control energy usage and save on their energy costs. Most manufacturers today continue using coal- or gas-fired energy processes with big emission footprints—and big emission footprints cost more than small ones.
Environmental policies have a financial impact. For example, getting rid of industrial waste often is, in the end, more costly than implementing green practices. Furthermore, local communities are discouraging industrial plants—usually through taxes or fees—from dumping industrial waste into landfills.
That financial penalty encourages creative waste disposal. Many process plants send their industrial waste to re-use facilities. Here businesses use someone else's "garbage" for raw material. More than a dozen years ago, Fluke Corp.'s (www.fluke.com) George Bissonnet showed Control's editor in chief, Walt Boyes, that the circuit board and spent chemical recycling business he developed was actually a profit center.
Safety compliance is another strong driver in sustainability. This is based, one assumes, on the proposition that a safe plant is more sustainable than one prone to damage from unsafe practices. Study after study has shown that safety compliance, both in traditional workplace safety and in process safety management produces higher profit levels over time than ignoring safety issues does.
Walker adds, "[The process industries] are looking at things through a new lens. They want to improve their environmental performance, not just for responsibility reasons, but also for financial reasons."
Manufacturers also have a responsibility to shareholders to maximize profits. As T. J. Rogers, chairman of Cypress Semiconductor (www.cypress.com) says, "If you want businesses to do something, show them the money." This is another example of that widening economic calculus.
What Is Sustainability Anyway?
Rockwell's Walker explains that sustainability consists of making operations cleaner, safer and more energy efficient. "[Rockwell Automation] buckets sustainability into energy efficiency, environmental applications and safety. Energy, environment and safety are the three main components of it, with energy being the component that surprises people the most," says Walker.
Going green is not about doing just one thing—reducing waste, reducing energy cost, minimizing the carbon footprint or reusing materials in the production processes. Green practice in process automation is about mixing and matching sustainability efforts, creating the perfect balance at the plant level, not only benefiting end users' return on investment, but also benefiting the environment as a whole.

Betancourt hoping haircut helps end cold spell
ST. LOUIS -- So much for the Yunihawk.
A cold streak personally and for the team prompted Brewers infielder Yuniesky Betancourt to buzz the mohawk he had been sporting for several weeks, a superstitious bid for some better results. Since homering in three straight games starting April 29, Betancourt was hitting .154 with a .200 on-base percentage in 14 games entering play Saturday night. In his nine most recent games, he was 3-for-33 with no RBIs.
So, he got a haircut.
"Have to change something," Betancourt said.
Asked about the source of his sudden slump, Betancourt said, "I'm swinging too much at balls off of the zone. I feel a little off. The last days, I feel a little tired. But the last two days I feel much better. [I am] seeing the ball and I'm getting my timing back."
Betancourt has been serving as the Brewers' regular first baseman with Alex Gonzalez slumping and Corey Hart still rehabbing from right knee surgery. That arrangement will probably persist; manager Ron Roenicke said he knew of no plan to send Hart on a Minor League rehabilitation assignment before June 1.

SUPERMARKET giant Morrisons is planning to build a new store in Wallingford, bringing up to 300 jobs to the town.
News of the Hithercroft industrial estate plan was welcomed by councillors as providing a choice in the town which currently only has a Waitrose supermarket in the town centre.
But traders' spokesman Elaine Hornsby said last night the Morrisons store could damage town centre trade if it was located on the industrial estate.
Morrisons spokesman Laura Stubbs confirmed the chain, whose only existing Oxfordshire branch is in Banbury, was looking at a site on the Hithercroft industrial estate.
She said: "A mid-sized store is anticipated.
"There would be approximately 200 to 300 jobs, both full and part-time positions."
The firm expects to submit a planning application later this year following public consultation over the summer.
More details of the plans are expected to emerge in the next few weeks.
News of the chain's interest emerged when district councillor Imran Lokhon was contacted by representatives.
Mr Lokhon said: "The feedback I have had from residents so far is positive because it would be competition for Waitrose.
"I'm hoping to meet Morrisons representatives next month to find out more."
Mr Lokhon added that Morrisons' move to Hithercroft would not sort out the long-term future of the town's former Waitrose store, off St Martin's Street. That has been largely empty since Waitrose moved to the other end of Market Place seven years ago. Household store Circle 7 moved into the space in 2010 but recently moved out.
Wallingford in Business spokesman Elaine Hornsby, who runs First Edition clothes store in Market Place, said: "I think Morrisons should go into the old Waitrose store – we want to keep the town centre vibrant.
"There's a danger that Morrisons could damage trade in the town centre if it goes on the industrial estate."
Traders were due to discuss the Morrisons plan at a meeting last night.
The chain plans to create 7,000 jobs across the UK, as part of ongoing expansion.
In addition to its Banbury branch in Swan Close Road it is planning a store on the old market site in Black Bourton Road, Carterton.

Reds to call up Cingrani for Thursday start vs. Miami
CINCINNATI -- The Reds on Wednesday made official the expected news that left-handed pitcher Tony Cingrani will be called up from Triple-A Louisville to start on Thursday vs. the Marlins in injured ace Johnny Cueto's rotation spot.
A corresponding 25-man roster move to make room for Cingrani has yet to be revealed. Cueto was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Monday with a strained right lat muscle.
Rated the organization's No. 3 prospect by MLB.com, Cingrani was dominant in his three 2013 starts for Louisville. He was 1-0 with 14 1/3 scoreless innings, two walks and 26 strikeouts. Reds manager Dusty Baker is hoping that the rotation doesn't miss a beat with Cingrani taking over for Cueto.
"That's what the depth of the organization is about," Baker said. "We're here to win ballgames and not see who the next rising star is, even though it's exciting. We want him to fit in like we hope he does."
Cingrani's last start for Louisville on Sunday was cut short after two innings and 45 pitches in case he was needed in the big leagues after Cueto was injured during his start on Saturday vs. the Pirates.
In his first start of the year, vs. Toledo, Cingrani had six hitless innings with 14 strikeouts. A third-round Draft pick in 2011 out of Rice University, the 23-year-old had moved up quickly and has primarily excelled with only two pitches -- a fastball and changeup.
"He's been down there to work on getting secondary stuff over. Most pitchers work off of their fastball," Baker said. "The best pitch in baseball is a well-located fastball. There have been guys that throw everything and can't get [anything] over -- they have eight pitches, all of them bad. Then there are some guys like Mario Soto -- he had two pitches, a changeup and fastball."
This will be Cingrani's first big league start, but he made three big league relief appearances last season as a September callup, including one vs. the Marlins on Sept. 15. He pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings with a walk and three strikeouts.
"That helps quite a bit actually, because you know that you can pitch here," Baker said.
The Reds have not had a left-hander start a game since Dontrelle Willis on Sept. 29, 2011, at Pittsburgh. Cingrani will end a franchise-record-tying 180 consecutive games in which a right-handed starter was used.

The Green Bay Packers and free agent receiver Greg Jennings never appeared close to finding mutual ground on a new deal, and it has been widely believed for some time now that Jennings will bolt Green Bay for a better offer once unrestricted free agency opens on March 12.
ESPN 1500's Tom Pelissero may have found the reason why the two sides failed to even approach a deal that would keep Jennings in Green Bay.
According to Pelissero, word around the NFL Scouting Combine is that Jennings is looking for $14 million a year on the free-agent market.
Lot of opinions here about what top receiver UFAs may command. Heard Greg Jennings wants $14M/year. Tough to see that happening.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) February 22, 2013
A $14 million a year deal would make Jennings the NFL's third highest paid receiver, behind only Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald.
As Pelissero states, envisioning Jennings and that kind of money this offseason is difficult.
Jennings will turn 30 years old in September, and he's coming off back-to-back seasons in which he missed games to injury (11 total games missed). Also, it's worth considering that Jennings is only 5'11"—small for a No. 1 receiver—and his career numbers (425 receptions, 6,537 yards, 53 TDs) are likely inflated from playing his entire career with Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers.
If Jennings' demands are true—and we do have to take combine chatter with a grain of salt—then it is fairly easy to see why the two sides were so willing to part ways without much work done on the re-signing front. No one, especially the Packers, will be willing to pay Jennings $14 million a season.
Jennings, who caught 36 passes for 366 yards and four touchdowns in eight games last season, would be fortunate to eclipse the five-year, $55.55 million deal Vincent Jackson received from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last spring.

Topic: Ever heard of or had Liver Dialysis?!?!
My brother continues to fight hard to get to chemo. He has had obstacles of a liver abscess, stents and drains placed and replaced, and sepsis while continuing to have a persistent elevated bilirubin level that will NOT go down. Originally his first stent placed in the beginning brought his bilirubin down from around a 6 to a 2. But with surgery and everything I listed above, the bilirubin today is 12.5 Doctors here feel like their hands are tied with what to do next because the stents are working well and his original liver abscess is reducing in size and not draining much anymore. Doctors went as far as to say, we don't know if we will ever get to chemo with this infection and elevated bilirubin. Well, of course as CC fighters, we say that "NEVER" is not an answer or option!
We consider to brainstorm and "think outside of the box" as the doctors here are saying. My brother believes that getting out of the hospital, going home for some R&R with IV antibiotics will clear the infection, allow some mental strength to rebuild which rebuild his immune/physical strength and help bring that bilirubin level down. Even the liver specialist said his liver, itself, is healthy and not acutely failing.
With all that said, has anyone on this website ever used or heard of liver dialysis with CC? The doctors have heard of MARS and ELAD which are mainly used in cirrhotic patients as a bridge to transplant. This hospital is going to begin this dialysis here even though it is still in the experimental phase. One of the liver doctors has a close relationship with the MARS or ELAD company (not sure which one) and will bring this case to them. I told the doctor that if this is a possibility with CC patients, that I could share this idea on this website and potentially save many lives. It just makes sense...clean out the toxins, make the levels to a chemo-ready state, and get chemotherapy started!
Let me know of your thoughts and any ideas!!!

Wish dads, grandpas, and brothers a Happy Father's Day with these "Tie"riffic Father's Day Cards from Fiskars. These adorable cards and coupon books will be a huge hit with the guys in your life, and this is one tie that dad will surely be happy to receive!
- Holiday Hooplah Simple Stick™ Repositionable Rubber Stamps (8" x 8")
- Stitcher Scissors (No. 5)
- Portable Scrapbooking Paper Trimmer (12")
- Stamp Block Set
- Paper gift bag
- Embellishments
- Glue Dots
- Patterned paper
- Scissors
- Tie Pattern
Tie-rrific Gift Bag: A simple white party favor sack can hold a number of surprises, but the real treat is the fun you'll have choosing the paper to create a traditional tie or a bow tie to embellish your gift bag. This is one of those simple ideas that pack a powerful punch and it's all in the simple details of choosing a paper that is reminiscent of fabric and adding small button embellishments to pull it all together.
To create the shirt band, you simply fold down the top of the unopened bag about 1 ½" and crease. Then unfold and use your scissors to make a 1" deep cut along the crease from both outside edges in toward the center. Place your gift inside the bag, then pinch the top closed and fold the flaps in at a 45-degree angle. Secure the flaps with glue dots and embellish the front with either a hand-cut traditional tie or a bow tie. Now, it's time to add even more realistic details, such as; buttons and or brads to resemble a tie-tack.If you'd like, you can secure the outside cut edges of the bag with a small piece of scotch tape to ensure nothing falls out.
Tie-rrific Coupon Book: Coupon books redeemable for acts of service are a great way to get children thinking about how they can go out of their way to do something for dad. What father doesn't love to receive a little coupon booklet from his children that he can redeem throughout the weeks to come. These booklets are made with the help of a word processing program and an interchangeable perforation blade for your paper trimmer, and come together in less than 15 minutes.
Simply trace a tie template onto patterned paper and cut out using your detail scissors.
Insert your perforation blade into your paper trimmer blade chamber.
Lay the ties onto your paper trimmer at the smallest width of the tie and make one pass with the perforation blade. As you can see you can lay up to 4 ties across the cutting groove before making your pass. This will perforate the paper allowing the coupons to easily tear away much like a traditional coupon. Then, all that's left is to print the PDF, stamp the phrase 'happy father's day' found on the Holiday Hooplah stamp set, cut out your coupons and adhere one to each tie. Once you've done that, gather them up in a stack and staple together at the top of the tie with two staples and you're ready to gift it.
Tie-rrific Greeting Card: Lastly, what do you need to accompany all these thoughtful gifts? Why, a greeting card, of course! While the technique involved with this card focuses more on making an origami-folded shirt, we can still embellish it with a tie and call it tie-rrific, yes?
For the origami-fold, I just found simple instructions by googling. I found the folding was made much easier when using my bone folding tool. This especially makes folding easier if you're using heavy-weight cardstock paper and will definitely make your folds much crisper in appearance. Once you learn the folding technique you'll find that you can use any size of rectangle and still end up with the same results. To finish off the card with an appropriate sentiment, I once again turned to the same stamps from the Holiday Hooplah set.If you just can't figure out what to get dad for father's day, why not gift him with some cash and fold it up into a shirt, origami-style. You can even add a patterned paper tie, using temporary adhesive to adhere it. Dad is sure to get a kick out of that!

Affeldt to get back-to-back rehab outings
SAN FRANCISCO -- Jeremy Affeldt will continue and could conclude his recovery from a sprained right knee with a pair of injury rehabilitation outings Thursday and Friday for Class A Advanced San Jose against Bakersfield, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
The Giants want to make sure that Affeldt can physically handle pitching on back-to-back days before they activate him from the disabled list. Bochy added that Affeldt might pitch more than one inning in one of those outings, another prerequisite for a reliever in his role.
Affeldt understands why the Giants want to make sure he's completely healthy before he rejoins them. Trying to pitch through pain and various ailments last year, the left-hander made only 39 appearances last season.
"If you ask me, I want to compete, so I'm fine," Affeldt said. "But from their perspective, especially after last year, I can see why they're a little more cautious. ... I'm on their terms. No room to complain. When they're ready to have me back, I'm sure they'll have me back."
The Giants also need to buy as much time as possible to decide who to send to the Minor Leagues when Affeldt's activated. The three relievers who appear most vulnerable to being demoted or waived -- Jean Machi (2-0, 0.00 ERA), David Huff (.231 opponents' batting average) and Juan Gutierrez (five strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings) have performed capably.
