I wouldn't know, laws aren't my thing.
Apparently not.
Laws have very little to do with morality, common sense and decency.
They should. Rather than focus on this one case, why not re-examine the whole war on drugs that puts so many more people away particularly young Black American males? Isn't it time that we ended the 40 year waste of resources that has led to such violence and has generated billions for drug cartels that is now destabilizing the entire Latin American region whether juges, police, government officials or border and customs agents? all while sending millions of young Black Americans to prisons where they face even more violence while leads to them becoming even less employable or amenable to socialization when they get out? Talk about brutalization.
I do seem to remember you posting something that sure looked like it would cover it. Martin obviously felt scared and feared bodily harm or worse, as would anyone else in the same situation. A man has a right to defend himself and when running away doesn't stop the guy from following him it's quite clear that it's time to go on the offensive.
Or run...
If you have any doubts about this feel free to profile random "suspicious" males at night, follow them, and then when they run to get away from you, continue following. See what happens and report back to us, but be a man leave your gun at home. I guarantee you that most everyone will feel that their life is in danger and the smart ones will go on the offensive once they realize that running away will not work. A few will just get pissed off and drop you immediately without running away. Zimmerman lost any right to claim self defense when he profiled and followed Martin, then continued to follow even though Martin tried to run away. Following someone that is running away from you and self defense don't go together. If he wanted to protect himself, then he would have just stayed in his truck and drove away.
Question: was it not reported that eight or nine previous robberies involved young Black males suspects? in this situation, is it still wrong to profile? I think that this profiling debate has gotten out of question. As I age, I would like to throw this whole argument back at my insurance company which insists on higher premiums if I smoke, get older, don't exercise, weigh a certain amount or live in certain districts. Ditto for auto insurance though for younger Americans in cities with records of speeding and drunk driving... Hello? Isn't this profiling too? Where does one draw the line?

Need Help Converting Mic line in to Audio out (Is it even possible?)
My normal headphone input is not working properly since i broke a pair of headphones inside the connection jack . I managed to get the broken piece out, but now its not working correctly and has a short in it. I can only hear out of one side unless I hold the jack in a certain position ... well as you can imagine this would be very annoying trying to do while watching a movie or listening to music. I cant afford to have it fixed so I am trying to learn if I can use my mic input for my headphones as an audio out ? I have attached dxdiagnotics. file to this thread.
The specs on my pc are as follows :
HP G60 Notebook PC(laptop).. Windows 7 home premium 64 bit (6.1 build 760L)
Pentium (R) Dual Core CPU firstname.lastname@example.com(2CPU's),4096MB(RAM)DirectX11.
Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
Sound:Conexant Pebble High Definition/Intel(R) High Definition Audio HDMI
Thanks in advance for your help !

|31 Jul 2013
Windows 10 64 bit
I've only seen that possible on one PC. Of all the others, I've seen or worked on, the mic jack could not be remapped to be an output.
As an alternative, you could use a cheap USB connected "sound card" and use that instead of the built in sound.
Here is a cheap one I found doing a search. I have no info on it, just what I found doing the search. But for $5.75, its cheap enough. External 7 1 Channel USB Sound Card Audio for Laptop PC Computer Adapter Device | eBay

I've never liked knotless tapered leaders. Some do work better than others, but a knotted leader works much better for me (and lots of other anglers). For the past couple years, I've tied 7.5' 3X leaders. Most of my fishing is for warmwater species, and I'm using heavier flies. 3X tippet withstands abrasion better than 4X, and smallmouth dive for rocks when they're not leaping.
Here's the twist that makes the 7.5' 3X leader the one I have tied on. If I decide I need a longer leader, I'll just tie another foot or so of 3X tippet on. If I need a lighter tippet, I cut back the 3X, and add a 4X tippet. That extends my 7.5' 3X leader to a 9 foot or longer 4X. Need 5X tippet? Snip the 3X back, tie in a 6" section of 4X, and then add the 5X tippet. I'm using 5X for smaller flies, and perhaps spookier fish, so the extra length I gain is an added bonus. I do tie 9' knotted leaders in 3X and 4X, but rarely use them now.
Another benefit of knotted leaders is that sections can be replaced as needed. I get a wind knot every now and then, and simply replace that section of the leader. If you snag a knotless leader, and break it, you need to determine what diameter is at the new end. That's much easier with a knotted leader.
I read on forums that people get algae, soda cans, dead birds, etc sticking to the knots on a knotted leader. I can honestly say that has never been an issue for me, and I fish way too much. A couple of years ago, the Delaware River had clumps of algae floating throughout the water. This stuff was everywhere!!!! The only thing that caught any algae was the fly itself. It was so bad, that if you did catch a fish, it was covered with 2 pounds of algae by the time you landed it. I was hooking bluegills, and digging through a basketball-sized clump of salad to get to a little fish in the center!
P.S. I use blood knots on all sections of knotted leaders, even the tippet. A properly tied and TRIMMED blood knot is just a smooth bump.

Your jammie dresses turned out so sweet Brandy! My girls love nightgowns too! We love the Disney store ones but my oldest I think is a little embarrassed by them and has wanted me to take the picture of the princess off them. These would be a fabulous alternative!
Thank you Lisa! I'm sure your little girl would love one and with your amazing sewing skills you could probably make her one without a pattern! 🙂
Oh how sweet are those little nightgowns. Sewing is such an amazing talent to have. Your little girls are so lucky to have a mama who can make such beautiful things for them. 🙂
Thank you so much Haunani! It has been a blessing to be able to sew and teach others as well. Hopefully they will continue to enjoy helping me and working on projects together!
Oh these are so sweet – your little ones will treasure them. Reminds me of the time when my mom made me my nightgowns. Definitely better than store bought ones.
These little nighties are adorable!! I love wearing nighties like this when I was a kid! I can understand why your girls wanted to wear them all day and night. lol
Those little nightgowns are so cute and your girls are so pretty! Thanks for the tip on where to find patterns. I am starting to sew again. 🙂
Your daughter eyes so beautiful….and smart too.
These are awesome. Now where is the mummy version 🙂
Thank you! And I know, right? Somehow it's easier to find time to sew for other people, ha!

Tehran's top nuclear envoy called for negotiations without threat of sanctions on Friday, following meetings in Beijing in the wake of U.S. reports saying China had dropped its opposition to possible new U.N. measures against Iran.
Saeed Jalili sidestepped questions on whether China had confirmed to him that it had changed its position on a fourth round of U.N. sanctions against Tehran for its nuclear program. He maintained that both Iran and China sought a return to the negotiating table.
"(Our) Chinese friends all say this problem can only be solved through negotiations and peaceful means. And some big countries should give up their incorrect actions. Pressuring through sanctions will be ineffective," Jalili said.
China has veto power in the U.N. Security Council, and its support would be key to passing a resolution against Iran, which is suspected of developing nuclear weapons. Tehran says its nuclear program is for peaceful power generation.
"Negotiations should be conducted with logic, not with pressure. If negotiations and pressure occur at the same time, there's no way these negotiations can go forward," Jalili said in comments that were translated from Farsi to Chinese.
During his visit to China, Jalili met with Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi and Wang Jiarui, who heads the Communist Party's international affairs office.
China has refused to say publicly whether it is willing to consider new sanctions. On Thursday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang repeated the country's longtime stance of wanting the dispute settled through negotiations.
Jalili hinted that Iran was looking to China to prevent another round of penalties, which U.N. diplomats have said would target Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard and toughen existing measures against shipping, banking and insurance sectors.
"China is a big country and can play a very important role in preventing their incorrect policy," which he described as wanting dialogue while also pursuing plans to punish Iran.
President Barack Obama said in an interview broadcast Friday on CBS's "The Early Show," that Washington would continue to "ratchet up the pressure" on Iran to reveal its nuclear intentions.
"All the evidence" indicates Tehran is trying to get nuclear weapons and such a capability could destabilize the Mideast and trigger a regional arms race, he said.
Obama also raised the issue of Iran's nuclear program when he spoke on the phone Friday with his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao, welcoming his decision to attend a nuclear security summit in Washington in less than two weeks.
"Obama underscored the importance of working together to ensure that Iran lives up to its international obligations," a White House statement said.
China depends on oil- and gas-rich Iran for 11 percent of its energy needs and last year became Tehran's biggest trading partner, according to Iranian figures.
Although China went along with three earlier U.N. sanctions resolutions against Iran, Beijing has been a vocal opponent of a fourth round.
But U.S. officials say a Chinese representative made a commitment in a phone call Wednesday with officials of the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany to discuss the specifics of a potential Security Council resolution, and that on that basis the U.S. would press ahead with an effort to pass such a measure.
The officials cautioned that this does not mean there is a full consensus yet on U.N. sanctions. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the diplomatic talks were ongoing.
The Obama administration is hoping to get a U.N. resolution on Iran passed by the end of April.
Associated Press writer Julie Pace at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., contributed to this report.

In case you were wondering…
1. The drinks in the hotel lobby bar will be $15. You know now. Don't be shocked about it and for the love of God and all that is holy, do not express your shock via Twitter. It's a hotel lobby bar in a metropolitan city. If you can't afford it, drag your cheap ass to The Wine Bank 5 blocks away and buy a bottle of Jack. Problem solved.
2. Parking is $26 a day. You know, $25 a day cheaper than parking at a hotel in any larger city in the United States (see NY, San Francisco). It is either the cost of doing business if this is your business and you have a nice write off or you are on vacation with your lady friends and need to live it up a little.
3. No one wants to hear how many delays your flight has or how crappy your airline is or how the guy beside you stole the arm rest or that you have/don't have wireless. Even my father says that airline travel went downhill after Pan Am went under in '91. It's summertime. There will be thunderstorms and delays and oversold flights but no one cares about yours. And if anyone expresses care, they are blatantly lying to you. If someone is waiting for you, DM them. Do not crash The Twitter with the Great Airline Injustices of 2011. See also, tweets about your feelings or emotional state or how "SAD" you are that you can't seem to catch up with someone. This does not include any tweets regarding what you are drinking at either airport bars or on the plane. We like to know how hammered you are getting. Keep those coming.
4. Hunt down your favorite bloggers at Blogher and talk to them. Don't worry if they are going to be an asshole or not. Almost everyone comes home with a "you won't believe who was a cast-iron bitch to me in the elevator" story. Yes, you'll cry after it happens but you'll be the hit of the next tweetup, so there's that! I am positive that girl I yelled at about taking the plate of blueberries before the Chocolate Fountain Fairy Godmother was finished setting up the fountains at the Mommy Needs a Cocktail Party two years ago is still poking a voodoo doll that looks like a 50s retro chick with a drink in her hand. See also, every single person who came up to me after I had pregnancy vomited in a toilet or was trying to calm down a screaming 4-month old I brought to a blogging conference–all 3 of my children). I apologize now to all of those people. Point is, it's exactly like high school. You are going to have some of the BEST TIMES of your life and possibly some of the worst times of your life.
People generally won't surprise you at Blogher. If they typically write 5 posts a week about taking anti-anxiety meds to survive carpool, they are probably going to freak the fuck out if you run up, give them a huge hug and quote them verbatim from that post they wrote in 2005. I'm not saying not to do those things. I'm just saying if they are unable to make eye contact or smack you in the face, you've been warned.
5. The Bloggess will actually be in the hotel bathroom outside of the People's Party. No one is making that up. If you don't know which bathroom at the end of which hall, just ask. Even the hotel staff will know where she is. The valet guy will know. I DEFY YOU to find one person who doesn't know. Head over to the bathroom, queue up and wait your turn. That line out the door will not be for the stalls. I promise. Have your camera ready and you can say anything you want to her. She's very good about taking fistfuls of her meds beforehand to get her thru the night and will not punch you if you hug her. But you should ask before you do. Tell her about that time when you really needed hope or a laugh or both and she brought it. She puts too much out there to not get acknowledged that it matters. Also, she'll look into your eyes and wipe your tears. She's good people and not even remotely as crazy as she thinks she is. Odds are good you're meeting with her will be one of your top 5 Blogher 11 moments.
6. We know you're hungover. We saw the pictures on Flickr from the night before and frankly are shocked you're standing today. Just go down to the lobby and buy the $3 2-pack of Motrin from the gift shop. Don't ask Twitter for Motrin. And rehydrate with one of the 20 swag bottles you got. It's not that complicated and there is no award for most hungover. It's not a bad thing to be hungover. We just don't care about it.
7. Thank your wait staff and hotel help. Look them in the eye and thank them. Even if they aren't doing something for you and are just walking by, thank them. Having thrown a party during Blogher, I cannot begin to tell you how horrible people are at these events. That person doesn't make enough money and doesn't want to hear how many followers you have on Twitter if you don't get what you want. Unless you have been stabbed by a hotel employee, are screaming for help from hotel employees and hotel employees are refusing to help you, chill the fuck out. Blogher is running out of cities willing to host so don't be the person who permanently takes San Diego off the map for future years. I kid. (blinks rapidly) Don't forget to thank the hosts of parties and sponsors too. They put a lot of time and effort and money into making it happen.
8. Don't do anything you don't want to see on Twitter in 2 minutes. I'd say it's a no-brainer, but apparently this goes unheeded every year. Good for the gawkers but bad for you if you're trying to get that toilet paper ambassadorship with Charmin. It's the Mardi Gras trip of the 80s, people. We're glad you are comfortable enough (read: drunk enough) to flash but the internet is forever.
9. Even if you don't like someone, be kind with the flickr uploads. There is no reason to be posting someone's third chin or their "not best" side. Use that cropping feature liberally. It's called paying it forward. And makes you look like a nice person. We can tell if you're posting bad pictures on purpose and gossip about it behind your back.
10. Your swag bag won't be perfect. It will offend you or you won't be the target audience or won't meet your dietary needs. Whatever way it goes, don't whine about the free stuff. Just recycle it. I've given out shitty swag bags because the money ran out. It is what it is. And everyone gets creeped out when you take a twitpic of all of it on your hotel bed. Just FYI.
10. Everyone makes their own good time. If you aren't having a good time, figure it out. Go back to your hotel room with a bag of chips and catch up on all those movies you've missed on PPV. Take a cab out to the beach in Coronado. Take a chance talking to someone in the lobby. You can totally do this. It's a business conference, not cheerleading tryouts.
And if you are staying home this year, don't break Twitter with your tears or jealousy. Just go next year.Share on Facebook

IAEA, Iran Fail To Agree In Nuclear Talks
February 14, 2013
The International Atomic Energy Agency has again failed to reach agreement in talks with Iran on an investigation into suspected nuclear weapons research by Tehran.
IAEA deputy chief Herman Nackaerts made the announcement to reporters in Vienna.
He also said the sides "haven't agreed yet on a date for the next meeting."
Iran's envoy to the IAEA, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, earlier said the two sides had agreed on some points at a meeting between IAEA and Iranian officials in Tehran on February 13. He did not elaborate.
The IAEA was expected to push for inspecting the Parchin military base, where nuclear weapons parts have allegedly been tested.
The talks came ahead of the scheduled February 26 nuclear talks in Kazakhstan between Iran and six world powers.

Brentwood city administrator Chris Seemayer
Q: Favorite community event?
A: Our Brentwood Days Festival, which is always the third weekend of September. It's a big community homecoming with parades, fireworks, games and carnival rides, and the greatest thing about them is they're all free.
Q: Best traffic shortcut?
A: Probably a new road we opened last year, Strassner Drive, because it connects Brentwood and Hanley and it's a good way to get to all of the shopping areas without having to face Eager Road or Highway 40, when it opens.
Q: Favorite way to enjoy the outdoors?
A: We have miles and miles of pedestrian trails. The Lee Wynn Trail is the newest one. It goes down along Rosalie, the Litzsinger area, crosses a creek and goes back through the woods, and for a time it feels like you're not in an urban area. It connects to Memorial Park on one end and Oak Park on the other.
Maplewood director of community development Rachelle L'Ecuyer
Q: Most fun nighttime activity?
A: There's a piano bar, Jive and Wail; Black Cat Theatre has a cabaret and theater; and Saratoga Lanes has bowling.
Q: Favorite community event?
A: 'Let Them Eat Art.' We have live artists painting, belly dancers, Gumbo Head, they're a really big Mardi Gras band, and other entertainers, and we have burlesque. We'll be doing the fourth annual event July 10.
Q: Best Sunday brunch plans?
A: The Bottleworks has a really good brunch. It's one place where I can take my family and everybody has something they like to eat. My family ranges in age from 6 to 47, so it's a big deal!
Q: Favorite way to enjoy the outdoors?
A: Our May through September concert series in Ryan Hummert Memorial Park, put on by the Maplewood Community Betterment Association. It's just a really nice way to enjoy a summer evening.
Richmond Heights public relations coordinator Irene Johnson
Q: Most famous resident?
A: Charles Lindbergh lived here for a while. And there's a delicious rumor that at one point in time, Chuck Berry lived here. We also have a lot of really well-known citizens, like Marshall Faulk of the St. Louis Rams. And Georgia Frontiere lived here, too.
Q: Favorite community activity or event?
A: It's got to be our annual Easter egg hunt. Droves of kids come out for that, and in seconds they wipe the place clean. A close second comes a little later in the year, Tons of Transportation. We have all these municipal vehicles on display for kids to see up close and sit behind the steering wheels.
Q: Most notable home?
A: There's a street called Bennett Avenue, which was named to the national and state registries of historic places last fall because the homes were built by African American professionals in the mid 1900s. We've also got a number of the '40 Thieves Homes.' Rumor is that when they took down some of the displays at the World's Fair, some entrepreneurial spirits took some of the used lumber and brought it here.

My move to Columbus has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride. After my move I relapsed into anorexia which landed me in the emergency room on Feb. 12. However, since getting on top of it, I've emerged with a new regiment of medication and a passion for exercise. This has resulted in most of my clothes no longer fitting. So a couple nights ago, Lyz Liddell (Director of Campus Organizing at the Secular Student Alliance) and Amanda Metskas (Executive Director of Camp Quest and originator of the battle with PZ) came with me to mitigate my lack of fashion sense in purchasing some new clothes.
When I moved, I was wearing 38″ waist pants without a belt. My new pants are 34″ waist and are too big. I could have easily gone to a 32″ waist and possibly even a 30″ waist. It feels amazing. Getting into physical fitness has been one of the best things I've ever done for myself. I'm a very broad build, so I don't think I'll ever get 'skinny' per se, but it does feel good to have more energy, more muscle, and to be able to wear smaller pants. 😛

One word: incredible. The White House has unveiled First Lady Michelle Obama's official 2013 portrait, and she looks as beautiful as ever! The photo was taken by Chuck Kennedy in the Green Room of the White House, and marks President Barack Obama's second term in office. Her two-toned dress is a regal with a touch of her modern style, and her look is polished with a set of pearls and a pink mani. Of course, her "midlife crisis" bangs are on fab display!
Check out Michelle Obama's 2009 portrait below. Which photo do you like best? We love them both!

Q&A with Jim Buckmaster of Craigslist
Craigslist is one of the most powerful forces on the Internet, but CEO Jim Buckmaster says the 25-employee company is not about the money. Buckmaster spoke to Amy S. Choi about staying small, how to find a Celtic fiddler, and why he'd never want a business named after him.
Q: How did you get started at Craigslist?
A: I put my résumé on Craigslist in 1999. Craig [Newmark, Craigslist's founder] hired me as lead engineer. Now, when it comes to business decisions—corporate structure, financial, legal, risk management—it's me.
Q: What do you wish you had known before you started with Craigslist?
A: I wish I had started here sooner. Then I could have avoided the less fun work that I did instead. I worked at a number of large companies. It can be kind of soul-deadening and dull.
Q: How are you able to keep the company so small?
A: Our history as a company has been to successfully get out of the way of users. If you look at larger Internet companies, most of the staff are involved in trying to maximize revenue. Since maximizing revenue isn't one of our goals, we don't need any of that staff.
Q: So how do you measure success?
A: User satisfaction. We get e-mails from people thanking us, people who have found their job, spouse, home, furnishings, car, pet, friends, social activities, all on Craigslist, for free. They've literally assembled every important aspect of their life on our site without spending a penny. It's a pretty powerful thing.
Q: What other companies do you really admire? Why?
A: SmugMug is a fun site that's family-run and espouses many of the same values we have in not being primarily about making money and chasing market share. And given the pressures that they're under and the size they've achieved, I'm still impressed with the founders of Google. They've stuck to their original ethos.
Q: How much turnover do you have?
A: We've never had a member of our tech team quit, and most of our workers are techies. Working here, people feel like they're making a difference in the world. We don't do things that techies don't like to do. We don't have meetings. We don't have cubicles. We don't have overhead flourescent lights. We're in a converted Victorian house, and people get to set their own hours. What's not to like?
Q: Do you still use the site?
A: Sure. My partner, Susan, hosts a Burns' Night Supper every year in celebration of the poet Robert Burns, with haggis and Scottish entertainment. This year our musician canceled at the last minute, and we found a Celtic fiddler on 18 hours' notice through the site.
Q: What's next? Ever want a Jimslist?
A: I'll stick with it here. I wouldn't choose to name a company after me. Craig gets a lot of unwanted personal attention by having his name in the name of the company.

What is the meaning of the Book of Mormon scriptures on eternal hell for the wicked?
In the Book of Mormon, "hell" is the destination of the wicked following death. Among these are "the wise, and the learned, and the rich, that are puffed up in the pride of their hearts, and all those who preach false doctrines, and all those who commit whoredoms, and pervert the right way of the Lord." ( , professor of Ancient Scripture, Brigham Young University.2 Ne. 28:15; see also 2 Ne. 9:34, 36; Luke 16:19–25.) Matthew indicates that hell awaits those who habitually turn away from their fellowmen in need. (See Matt. 25:40–46.)
Nephi calls hell "spiritual death" (2 Ne. 9:12), a place where the wicked are "cast off … as to the things which are spiritual, which are pertaining to righteousness. …
"Wherefore there must needs be a place of filthiness prepared for that which is filthy." (1 Ne. 15:33–34.)
Two Hells
The prophet Alma explains that the wicked "shall be cast out into outer darkness; there shall be weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth, and this because of their own iniquity, being led captive by the will of the devil." (Alma 40:13.)
On the other hand, "the spirits of those who are righteous are received into a state of happiness, which is called paradise, a state of rest, a state of peace, where they shall rest from all their troubles and from all care, and sorrow." (Alma 40:12.)
These statements may seem to reflect the traditional Christian view of heaven and hell. (See Matt. 13:36–43.) But the Book of Mormon takes us a step farther. It describes these conditions as being, for most of mankind, temporary. Alma, for example, states: "Now this is the state of the souls of the wicked, yea, in darkness, and a state of awful, fearful looking for the fiery indignation of the wrath of God upon them; thus they remain in this state, as well as the righteous in paradise, until the time of their resurrection." (Alma 40:14; italics added.)
The Bible alludes to that fact in a number of places. David is promised that his soul would not remain in hell (see Ps. 16:10; Acts 2:27, 31), and it was promised that others as well would be delivered from spirit prison (see Isa. 49:8–9; John 5:25). This, in fact, happened when Christ opened the doors of hell to missionary work among the dead. (See 1 Pet. 3:18–19; 1 Pet. 4:6; D&C 138:6–37.)
Those who hear and accept the message of salvation, whether in this life or in the spirit world, are raised "unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation." (John 5:29.)
At their resurrection, Nephi explains, all men "must appear before the judgment seat of the Holy One of Israel; and then … must they be judged according to the holy judgment of God.
"And assuredly, as the Lord liveth, for the Lord God hath spoken it, … that they who are righteous shall be righteous still, and they who are filthy shall be filthy still; wherefore, they who are filthy are the devil and his angels; and they shall go away into everlasting fire, prepared for them; and their torment is as a lake of fire and brimstone, whose flame ascendeth up forever and ever and has no end." (2 Ne. 9:15–16; see also Rev. 22:11.)
In the Book of Mormon, therefore, as in the Bible, two distinct states are referred to as "hell." One is the temporary condition of the wicked between death and the resurrection. The other is the never-ending state of the wicked for whom there is no mercy because they, "like unto the son of perdition" (3 Ne. 29:7; John 17:12), have rejected the mercy of Christ and would sell him "for silver and for gold, and for that which moth doth corrupt." (3 Ne. 27:32.) These are they, called perdition and the sons of perdition, who come out "in open rebellion against God" and "listeth to obey the evil spirit, and becometh an enemy to all righteousness. …
"Therefore [their] final doom is to endure a never-ending torment." (Mosiah 2:37, 39; see also 2 Pet. 3:7; Rev. 20:13–15; D&C 76:31–46.)
For the most part, it is this second hell, or "second death," to which the Book of Mormon prophets refer when they speak of eternal hell and damnation. (See Jacob 3:11; Alma 12:16–18; Hel. 14:16–18.)
Some readers of the scriptures wonder why the Lord often uses phrases like eternal damnation and endless torment to refer to the kind of punishment he administers.
The Lord explains that "every man must repent or suffer, for I, God, am endless. …
"Nevertheless, it is not written that there shall be no end to this torment, but it is written endless torment.
"Again, it is written eternal damnation; wherefore it is more express than other scriptures, that it might work upon the hearts of the children of men, altogether for my name's glory.
"Wherefore, I will explain unto you this mystery, for it is meet unto you to know even as mine apostles. …
"For, behold, the mystery of godliness, how great is it! For, behold, I am endless, and the punishment which is given from my hand is endless punishment, for Endless is my name. Wherefore—
"Eternal punishment is God's punishment.
"Endless punishment is God's punishment." (D&C 19:4–12.)
These verses go far to help clarify some statements in the Book of Mormon and the Bible which refer to the temporary hell as being endless.
The Spirit World
As Latter-day Saints, we are fortunate to have four books of scripture, as well as latter-day prophets, to help us understand doctrines that have confused Christianity for centuries. We understand, for example, that the spirits of all who die enter the spirit world to await their resurrection. But even though the righteous enter a state of happiness, rest, and peace, they feel confined. The large assemblage of spirits who awaited Christ's visit to them shortly after his crucifixion were anxiously anticipating their "deliverance." The Doctrine and Covenants explains that "the dead had looked upon the long absence of their spirits from their bodies as a bondage." (See D&C 138:49–50.)
Thus, the peace that the righteous experience in the spirit world is not the ultimate state of happiness most of Christianity think of as heaven. It is only when the spirit and body are "inseparably connected" that mankind can "receive a fulness of joy. And when separated, man cannot receive a fulness of joy." (See D&C 93:33–34.) In this context, all spirits between death and resurrection are in confinement.
Release for the righteous spirits comes at the beginning of the millennium. At this time, the heirs of the celestial kingdom will come forth from paradise and receive glorified, celestial bodies in the "morning" of the first resurrection, the resurrection of the just. (See 1 Cor. 15:20–42; D&C 88:97–98; D&C 76:17; Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, sel. Joseph Fielding Smith, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1938, pp. 295–96.) Following the glorious resurrection of the celestial candidates, the heirs of the terrestrial glory will be resurrected. Their resurrection too, though later, is still considered a part of the first resurrection. (See D&C 76:71–80; 2 Ne. 9:26.) Elder Bruce R. McConkie stated that the terrestrial heirs will come forth in "the afternoon of the first resurrection" which takes place after the "Lord has ushered in the millennium." (Mormon Doctrine, 2d ed., Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1966, p. 640; see also D&C 88:99.)
The Temporary Hell
Among those at death who are assigned to hell are the heirs of the telestial kingdom and the sons of perdition. These spirits will remain in hell, or spirit prison, suffering "the wrath of Almighty God" until the millennial reign is over. (See D&C 76:106.) At that time, they will be resurrected in the last resurrection, the resurrection of the unjust. (See D&C 76:16–17, 81–85; John 5:28–29.)
Those who inherit the telestial kingdom constitute the filthy of the earth—the sorcerers, the adulterers, the whoremongers, "and whosoever loves and makes a lie." (See D&C 76:103.) But through the mercies of God, even these people will be given a degree of glory. They will be "heirs of salvation," capable of being instructed by the Holy Spirit and by ministering angels. (See D&C 76:88.)
Elder McConkie wrote that even most murderers will come out of hell, or the spirit prison, in the last resurrection to live in telestial glory:
"When the Lord paraphrases the language of Rev. 21:8 in latter-day revelation (D&C 63:17–18 and D&C 76:103–106) he omits murderers from the list of evil persons. Their inclusion here by John, however, coupled with the fact that only those who deny the truth after receiving a perfect knowledge of it shall become sons of perdition, is a clear indication that murderers shall eventually go to the telestial kingdom, unless of course there are some among those destined to be sons of perdition who are also murderers." (Doctrinal New Testament Commentary, 3 vols., Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1965–73, 3:584.)
Hell, then, is a temporary quarter of the spirit world where the wicked are restrained in order for justice to be served and to give them a chance to repent. The Lord's promise is that all who do repent will receive a kingdom of glory, according to his judgment of their works. Even those who merit no kingdom of glory will be resurrected, for Christ's atonement broke the bands of death for all mankind. (See 1 Cor. 15:22; 2 Ne. 9:14–16.) Following the resurrection, then, that temporary quarter of the spirit world called hell will no longer be necessary. "After all men are resurrected," wrote Elder McConkie, "the [post-earthly] spirit world will be without inhabitants." (Mormon Doctrine, p. 762.)
The Hell That Has No End
The three degrees of glory provide eternal homes for the vast majority of God's children who merited earth life. There is a fourth destination, however, for those "comparatively few" who cannot abide even a telestial glory. The Lord explains that the destiny of the sons of perdition is a kingdom without glory (see D&C 88:24), and "the end thereof, neither the place thereof, nor their torment, no man knows," only those "ordained unto this condemnation" (see D&C 76:43–49). These are they who "cannot repent." They "sin against the Holy Ghost" and "put Christ to open shame." (See Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, comp. Bruce R. McConkie, 3 vols., Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1954–56, 1:47–49.)
"All who partake of this, the greatest of sins, sell themselves as did Cain to Lucifer. They learn to hate the truth with an eternal hatred, and they learn to love wickedness. They reach a condition where they cannot repent. The spirit of murder fills their hearts and they would, if they had the power, crucify our Lord again, which they virtually do by fighting his work and seeking to destroy it and his prophets. …
"Before a man can sink to this bitterness of soul, he must first know and understand the truth with a clearness of vision wherein there is no doubt. The Change of heart does not come all at once, but is due to transgression in some form, which continues to lurk in the soul without repentance, until the Holy Ghost withdraws, and then that man is left to spiritual darkness. Sin begets sin; the darkness grows until the love of truth turns to hatred, and the love of God is overcome by the wicked desire to destroy all that is just and true. In this way Christ is put to open shame, and blasphemy exalted.
"How fortunate it is that in the mercy of God there will be comparatively few who will partake of this awful misery and eternal darkness." (Ibid, p. 49.)
Thus, hell has an end for all consigned to it except the sons of perdition. They alone remain in a hell which has no end.
Will you explain these Bible references in view of the Latter-day Saint doctrine that works are necessary for salvation: Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:5; Romans 4:5?
To understand these three scriptures from Paul's writings, we need to understand that what Paul referred to as "works" is different from what we mean by "works." To Latter-day Saints, "works" refer basically to two things: , associate professor of Ancient Scripture at Brigham Young University and a stake patriarch.
1. Accepting and complying with the principles and ordinances of the gospel of Christ which admit us to membership in his church and qualify us as candidates for the kingdom of God.
2. Enduring to the end of our probationary period by striving to live the commandments that Christ has given us. When our lives fall short of this goal, we repent and again endeavor to keep his commandments. As we do so, going from "grace to grace," receiving "grace for grace," the Savior sanctifies us through the ministrations of the Holy Spirit. (See D&C 93:11–20; 2 Thes. 2:13–17; Titus 2:11–14.)
The scriptures are very explicit on the need for the ordinances of the gospel and for obedience to God's commandments. The Lord himself said, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3:5.) And "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." (Matt. 7:21.)
Those who quote such scriptures as the three mentioned in the question above usually do so to argue that faith alone is sufficient to save us. All we need do, they explain, is to confess verbally or mentally that we accept Christ as our Savior. Since Paul is the principal writer they use to support this idea, let's look at some other statements Paul makes which teach that salvation depends on more than confession of faith. Consider the following statements by Paul.
On the nature of faith:
"Without faith it is impossible to please [God]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." (Heb. 11:6.)
"Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith." (Heb. 12:1–2, see also Heb. 12:5–17.)
On the necessity for repentance and baptism by water and by the Holy Ghost:
"Why tarriest thou? [Ananias told Paul after Paul's vision of the Savior on the road to Damascus] arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord." (Acts 22:16.)
To those Ephesians who had been baptized "unto John's baptism" but had not been given the gift of the Holy Ghost, Paul said:
"John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
"When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
"And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them." (Acts 19:4–6; see also Acts 19:1–3; 1 Cor. 6:9–12.)
On the need for righteous activity following faith in Christ:
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
"For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." (Gal. 6:7–9.)
"[God] will render to every man according to his deeds:
"To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
"But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath." (Rom. 2:6–8.)
When discussing a gospel concept, we must read all that is written about the subject and not just quote an isolated verse or concept. Isolating verses this way has led to the multiplicity of doctrine taught by the numerous Christian denominations in the world today.
The confusion in Paul's writings about whether works are necessary for salvation stems from a widespread misunderstanding of his use of the word works. Throughout Paul's ministry, he waged a constant fight against false doctrine. In the early years of his ministry, most members of the Church were Jews; hence, the false doctrine he had to contend with was largely Jewish. Predominant among these doctrines was the idea that, even though Christ had come, obedience to the "works" of the law of Moses was still necessary for salvation. These works involved the outward performances of the Law, such as circumcision and animal sacrifice.
A similar idea involved the Jewish notion that salvation depends on the treasure of good and bad works one lays up for himself during his life. If there were more good works than bad in your store, you were considered righteous; but if you had more bad works on the ledger than good, you were condemned. Furthermore, your good works could be supplemented by the surplus of good works performed by the patriarchs in their lives; this "credit" of works could then be transferred to you in order to tip the balance in your favor. "It was taught that the whole transaction was a matter of contract, God owing a debt to man for goodness." (Dictionary of the Bible, ed. James Hastings, New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1944, p. 693.)
The controversy stemming from these false notions about works and the law of Moses raged for years, even though it had been officially settled by a council of the Apostles in Jerusalem in A.D. 50. The great challenge Paul had was to convince the Jewish converts that they were not saved by the dead works of the law of Moses, nor that salvation was payment owed them by God because of their good works. Salvation, he taught, was a gift made possible only through the atonement of Jesus Christ.
Later in his ministry, as more and more Gentiles joined the Church, Paul also had to contend with pagan—mostly Greek—philosophies and religious ideas. As the Cambridge Bible dictionary points out, the Greeks were "gifted by race with a keen sense of the joys of physical existence, with a passion for freedom and a genius for rhetoric and logic, but reared in the midst of the grossest moral corruption, undisciplined and self-conceited." (LDS edition of the King James Bible, p. 744.) In New Testament times, most of the world was steeped in Greek culture and practices.
Although gentile converts became deeply conscious of their sins when exposed to the gospel, Greek philosophy often led them into errors similar to the ones the Jewish converts struggled with. One error was the belief that one could "attain moral perfection by mechanical means, the careful observance of external ordinances and ascetic restrictions, coupled with special devotion to a host of angelic mediators." (Ibid., p. 746.)
It is in this context that Paul wrote his letters. They were written to solve local Church problems and were not intended to present a detailed picture of the plan of salvation. His letters were sent to members of the Church, Saints of God who had already been introduced to the gospel and the doctrines of salvation, many of whom were struggling with false doctrines and traditions. In countering those doctrines which centered on the outward works of the law of Moses or on the belief that a man can save himself through his own works, Paul used the doctrine of faith in Christ as a focal point in his explanations.
With this background, then, let's look at the three scriptures in question—Ephesians 2:8–9 [Eph. 2:8–9], Titus 3:5, and Romans 4:5 [Rom. 4:5].
1. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
"Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Eph. 2:8–9.)
This verse was written to the Saints at Ephesus, which was heavily under the influence of Greek culture. There was also a Jewish element there which emphasized the necessity of keeping the law of Moses. We have previously explained some of the problems Greek culture and Jewish teachings presented for the Church, among them the tendency to glory in one's abilities and to trust in the law of Moses for salvation. These verses were apparently written to counter the idea that we can save ourselves by our works independent of Christ. As Elder Bruce R. McConkie wrote: "No man has power to save himself anymore than he has power to resurrect himself. …
"No matter how righteous a man might be, no matter how great and extensive his good works, he could not save himself. Salvation is in Christ and comes through his atonement. God through Christ reconciles man to himself. But building on the atonement man must perform the works of righteousness to merit salvation, as verse 10 [Eph. 2:10] and the whole passage testify." (Doctrinal New Testament Commentary, 3 vols., Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1965–73, 2:500.)
2. "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost." (Titus 3:5.)
Rather than supporting the idea of salvation by faith alone, this scripture actually stresses the necessity for the ordinances of the gospel. To Titus, a former missionary companion, Paul mentions again the fact that it is Christ who saves us, not our works. Then he describes how Christ's mercy is made operable in our behalf—through "the washing of regeneration" and by the "renewing of the Holy Ghost." The Reverend J. R. Dummelow's commentary refers to the former as baptism and says that "the baptism to be efficient must be both by water and by the Spirit. It is not a mere outward act." (A Commentary on the Holy Bible, New York: Macmillan Co., 1936, p. 1008.) That's familiar doctrine to Latter-day Saints.
3. "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." (Rom. 4:5.)
This verse is part of a long letter Paul wrote to the members of the Church in Rome, a city that was truly a melting pot of nations and beliefs. To the members there, mostly Gentiles but also a Jewish minority, both familiar with Jewish law and history (see Dummelow, A Commentary, pp. 855–56), Paul explains that God's love and justice are extended to all men, Jew and Gentile alike, and that it is not the law of Moses that saves us, but our faith in Christ, which moves us to righteous works. (Ibid., pp. 858–60.) As an example, he refers to Abraham, who found favor with God by his faith, not by his observance of any outward ordinance.
"For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
"For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
"Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
"But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
"Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
"Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered." (Rom. 4:2–7.)
Verse 4 probably refers to the old Jewish belief that a person's storehouse of good works exacts payment from God in the form of salvation as if God owed the man a debt. If that were so, Paul says in verse 2, Abraham would have something to boast about. But the truth is, "all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Rom. 3:23; italics added.) We are all "ungodly," therefore, and must rely on the mercy of God to justify us, to be forgiven of our iniquities. As we have already discussed, this great gift comes to us as we exercise faith in Christ, repent of our sins, submit to the ordinances of the gospel, and thereafter endure to the end in living a Christlike life.
Those who teach that faith or confession is sufficient for salvation usually teach that those who die without hearing of Christ and having an opportunity to confess faith in his name are consigned to an eternal hell. Justice and the whisperings of the Spirit manifest that such doctrine cannot be true or God could not be a God of mercy and love. Likewise, the whisperings of the Spirit manifest that mere confession without the fruits of righteous living cannot save a person, or God could not be a God of justice.
The Book of Mormon teaches the doctrine clearly:
"Unless a man shall endure to the end, in following the example of the Son of the living God, he cannot be saved.
"Wherefore, do the things which I have told you I have seen that your Lord and your Redeemer should do; for, for this cause have they been shown unto me, that ye might know the gate by which ye should enter. For the gate by which ye should enter is repentance and baptism by water; and then cometh a remission of your sins by fire and by the Holy Ghost.
"And then are ye in this strait and narrow path which leads to eternal life. …
"And now, my beloved brethren, after ye have gotten into this strait and narrow path, I would ask if all is done? Behold, I say unto you, Nay. …
"Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ. … Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life." (2 Ne. 31:16–20.)
"For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do." (2 Ne. 25:23.)
I've noticed that the Topical Guide in the new LDS edition of the Bible is different from the concordance we used in our old Bible editions. How do I use this study aid?
The Topical Guide in the LDS edition of the King James Bible incorporates the strengths of a concordance, an index, and a topical guide. Because of space restrictions, it wasn't possible or desirable to include these three study aids separately. , associate professor of religion, Brigham Young University.
The original Topical Guide, which was published as a separate book before being added to the scriptures, had 640 categories. For the new edition of the Bible, these topics were refined and improved and others were added, making a total of approximately 750. To these were added other items, for a combined total of 3,495 entries (citing about 50,000 verses), which were somewhat more "concordance" in nature. With these modifications, the new Topical Guide is more comprehensive than the old Cambridge concordance used in the Church for many years, plus it has the additional feature of having "topical" characteristics.
Nevertheless, topical references still had to be limited because of the lack of space. Hard decisions had to be made as to what must be left out. This influenced the tendency for some categories to be organized in more generalized ways. Fortunately, few categories present problems. Most are very well defined.
As you use the Topical Guide, consider these guidelines:
1. The Topical Guide is not intended to be comprehensive on any topic. (See its introductory note.)
2. It does not serve as a precise elaboration of any subject.
3. It is an aid to scripture searching, not a short-cut to scripture study.
4. You must examine each scripture in its context. What comes immediately before and after often reflects a specific meaning.
5. Both positive and negative instances are sometimes listed under a topic heading. It may list references that tell what something is, as well as what it is not. For example, Alma 40:12 says righteousness brings happiness, and Alma 41:10 says "wickedness never was happiness." Both the positive and the negative are listed under the category "Happiness."
6. References are listed in conjunction with their first occurrence, in this order: Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. For example, although the scripture "the just shall live by faith" is found in Romans 1:17 [Rom. 1:17], it is listed in the Topical Guide under Habakkuk 2:4 [Hab. 2:4], because that is the first occurrence of the scripture. The Romans reference is listed in parentheses after the Habakkuk reference. Therefore, if you don't find a scripture listed where you expected it to be, look back through the earlier references to see if by chance there is an earlier occurrence.
7. Check possible cross-referenced topics—those listed immediately after the topic title—to see if there is a chance that the scripture you are looking for is listed under another topic or if the wording is not exactly as you remembered it.
Since the Topical Guide is not a comprehensive concordance, you might consider adding full concordances to your library, such as Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible (Nashville: Abingdon Press, 1890), which includes English-Hebrew and English-Greek dictionaries in the back, and R. Gary Shapiro's An Exhaustive Concordance of the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price (Salt Lake City: Hawkes Publishing, 1977).
The Topical Guide found in the LDS edition of the King James Bible is a superb aid to the study of the sacred scriptures. There is no better illustration of its significant contributions than in the fifty-three topics on the life and mission of the Savior. Surely this is a powerful witness that his "word also shall be gathered in one" (2 Ne. 29:14), and a reminder that "all things bear record" of Jesus Christ (Moses 6:63).

Discussion in 'Games' started by bpgt64, Aug 14, 2012.
Sorry if I am perpetuating a rumor...but..
Doug Lombardi (Valve's VP of marketing) has confirmed to us that Valve has no plans to show anything game-related at Gamescom
That was last month....this was dated recently...
I'd pay good money for another HL3. I can safely say it's one of the best, if not THE best game I have played on PC.
Aren't they meant to be releasing the new Black Mesa Mod soon?
^^ This
Not to be pessimistic but i think they would probably have something else in mind.
If that is indeed Half Life 3 .... then "Yeaaaah" xD
Meh, Seems legit for now...
All we can do is keep our fingers crossed and hope, but part of me says their moving on from HL for now and planning something more interesting.
Who knows ? This iiissss Valve were talking about. Haha!
I think it's a very good one for it's type. Much better than this BS CS\COD crap.
But the best hell no.
Actually, a friend of mine has 3 half life 1
Interesting to note that when the Half Life series finally ends, most of us will have spent at least half our lives waiting to play all it's installments. That crowbar's getting awfully rusty by now.
Would be fantastic if this were true, but it doesn't seem to be. An updates on T3 says this:
I do believe HL3 will show up one day though, even if it's years from now.
lots of trolling on HL3.. wonder if this will force Valve blurt out something in rage!
holy shit! LOTR: Guardians of Middle-Earth, screw HF3, give me that!
Hell no, even more so if they did not fix the issue's with ATI cards with LOTR War In The North..
Last time i checked it was laggy\stutter in some area's so badly that it was 100% unplayable and should not of been released..
Don't get me wrong i enjoyed playing the game even if it was linear it was still fun till then.
So screw them will not get another cent of me till they fix it.
I'm so ready for this consul port!

BeerandBlues2 (1056) Escondido, California | September 7, 2015
A nice dinner place with a pretty good beer menu, including a rare Founders on the bottle list. Great food and quite attentive service. I would recommend this as a nice white table dinner location, but one where they still seat you if you don shorts and a t-shirt.
Iphonephan (410) Jackson Hole/McLean, Virginia | August 30, 2015
Nice ambiance, good food and a good draft and bottle menu. Upstairs from Crooked Run. Nice weekend getaway.
GenDV138 (386) Falls Church, Virginia | May 2, 2014
Nice upscale restaurant with a solid beer list, both drafts and bottles. Packed house but I guess we lucked out on an open table. Food was delicious, duck breast was great. Nice and attentive server. Could be a nice spot for a date or special occasion.
Travlr (3057) Charlotte , North Carolina | April 27, 2014
This is a classy restaurant in the upstairs portion of the old mill, with a more casual bar area that serves burgers and sandwiches. Our server was quite good, even though the place was very busy, every table full. Food was very good, with lots of variety and freshness. Beer list was well above average for restaurants of this sort, and included local offering plus at least one retired Bruery offering and other interesting tidbits. A nice choice for a good meal in town. Lots of parking in the area, and a very convenient location.
Beergeek23322 (144) Chester, Virginia | September 18, 2013
Very nice atmosphere but crowded little place. Excellent food and service. Rotating tap selection where you can build your own flight. Beer list not always up to date, but that goes to show the variety.
Elwood (108) Leesburg, Virginia | August 1, 2013
Ambiance: Very good. The inside is a tastefully restored old mill. Nice, dark wood bar. All staff nicely dressed in uniform, etc. The bar area can get a little noisy on busy nights.
Service: Very good. Most staff have some knowledge about beer, but not to high geek standards. Service is always attentive and friendly. If you are sitting at the bar and it's not busy, don't hesitate to ask for a taste of something. If it is busy, be mindful and have your order ready.
Selection: Good. 21 taps with a rotating, broad selection. You will see some mainstays for the various styles (ex. Allagash White for a Wit, Bells Two Heard for an IPA, etc.). Don't expect anything rare or outlandish. Occasionally you can luck upon something harder to get on tap if it is the night of a beer dinner (which they do very well). The beer selection is online and almost always up to date. They also do flights for you tickers out there.
Food: Very good to excellent. Upscale, often using local ingredients. Again, it's worth checking out the menu online to get an idea of what you are dealing with. Not run of the mill pub grub. They also have an extensive wine list if you have someone in the group who isn't into beer.
Value: Good. As Tuskies is a little on the upscale side, you see it in the price. Beer start run roughly $6 a pint and up with some snifter pours (10 oz.) running $9. Flights are $7-$8.50 for three beers depending on which you choose. Drinks, dinner, and tip for two can get to $100 pretty quickly if you let it.
Overall: This isn't a place to tick beers by design. If you are looking for a great dining experience that has a good focus on beer, you found it. Or if you are simply looking for something different from Fire Works, Doner Bistro, or MacDowell Brew Kitchen, it's worth a stop.
magsinva (180) Virginia | November 24, 2012
Just sat at the bar while waiting on fireworks to seat us. What a surprise! They have a nice selection for a small restaurant bar, all of it craft. Belgium lambic and triples on tap! Visited again and the taps rotate with the seasons, so there is always something new when we visit. The food is fantastic, though a tad pricy. Staff is knowledgable about the beers from what I've seen. Revised rating up to recognize the change in how the places are organized.
odusurfer (1) Virginia | August 16, 2012
Tuscarora Mill has become a date-night favorite for the wife and I. Fantastic food, and a great selection of beer. They even have "beer flights" you can order, where you get three small glasses of different beers you can try. It's fantastic for introducing yourself to new beers. Only negative is it can be a little expensive if you're doing a full dinner. Worth it though.
DiarmaidBHK (948) Lewisburg, Pennsylvania | February 19, 2011
Over 20 different tap lines all of them craft beer. Amazing selection no bmc here. I understand the food is good here but I spent my time in the bar waiting on a table at fireworks pizza. Will definitely come back.
BeerBelcher (134) Columbus, Ohio | September 3, 2008
I was able to visit Tuscarora for dinner with my wife while visiting family in the area. Where I live (Milwaukee), most places with large craft/import beer selections are beer bars, and with limited food choices. This was unique in that it offered fine dining and an extensive selection of beer. It is in an old mill turned shopping center and the bar is wood-trimmed and dim with lots of oil lamps and other kitsch. The dining room in back (where we ate) was lit by large windows and seemed a bit...temporary. Service was OK - I didn't feel that for the cost of the food we were attended to as fastidiously as I expected. Beer selection was very good, and things tasted as they should. I had a Red Seal Ale and a Victory Hop Wallop. Food was good. My wife and I both had corn chowder and she had the spinach ravioli while I opted for the duck. Both main courses were very good. I liked the combo of fine-dining and beer this place possessed, and it definitely takes beer seriously, judging from the beer events they host. I thought it a bit over-priced, but I'd go back.

Israel Chemicals Using Political Pressure to Keep State Benefits
ICL received billions in government incentives over the years
Senior government officials said over the weekend that Israel Chemicals is deploying municipal leaders and political activists to lobby for the allocation of recently canceled state grants once earmarked for the Israel Corporation subsidiary.
"ICL is organizing a campaign to pressure the government and prevent the cancellation of its entitlement to grants," a government source said. The officials charge the company is using Likud lobbyists and municipal leaders from the Negev to stymie a move to cancel the benefits given to mining companies.
Sources say ICL may also organize demonstrations by its employees to maintain the incentives.
The Finance and Industry, Trade and Labor Ministries recently agreed to change the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investment, including a provision that quarrying companies would no longer receive state grants since they need no incentive to stay in Israel.Mayors and Likud politicos come calling
The two ministries have an oral agreement that hundreds of millions of dollars in grants would instead be directed to new companies and those which deal in export, technological upgrades and steady employment outside the center of the country.
After a draft of the new law including these changes was published, the offices of Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz and Minister of Industry, Trade and Labor Benjamin Ben-Eliezer were flooded with phone calls from people attempting to prevent the move.
Senior sources in the two offices reported that the calls were from noted Likud activists, heads of municipal governments and local authorities in the south and senior figures in ICL.
All the calls came on the same day and bearing the same message: If the government adopts this change to the law ICL will be forced to fire its workforce and shift its manufacturing operations abroad. Callers also claimed that ICL would stop its financial support of southern towns and that layoffs by ICL hurt the standard of living in the south. One of the callers to Steinitz's office claimed that most of those let go by ICL would be Likud members, thereby hurting his base in the next elections.
Sources in the ministries said the timing and identical messages led them to believe the calls were part of an orchestrated effort by ICL and its owners.
ICL is a subsidiary of the Israel Corporation, which is owned by Idan Ofer.
They officials said the ministers are determined to adopt the amendment to the law and will not meet with those opposing the move until after the budget is passed.
Government sources noted that ICL has received grants and tax benefits worth several billion shekels since 2006.
ICL has posted net profits of billions of shekels in recent years and paid enormous dividends to its shareholders. In 2009 it posted net profits of NIS 2.92 billion and distributed approximately NIS 2 billion in dividends. In the first quarter of 2010 ICL posted net profits of NIS 897 million and distributed dividends of NIS 574 million.
The Movement for Quality Government in Israel wrote a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other ministers last week calling on them to counteract the campaign of intimidation.
The movement suggested that "interested parties approaching decision makers to influence them should be obliged to put their request in writing in order to ensure maximum transparency," the letter read.ICL: We are victims of discrimination
Industry, Trade and Labor Ministry officials confirmed that there had been calls by the heads of ICL and local authorities about this matter and noted that they had been told it would be discussed in debates over the budget. A Finance Ministry official said "There were some calls by public figures and political figures in the south."
A spokesman for Idan and Sammy Ofer said the Ofer family were in no way involved.
An ICL spokesperson said the company, the largest employer in the Negev, was surprised to learn through the media of the plan to cut off the grants. "The company employs 5,000 [people] directly and tens of thousands indirectly," the spokesperson said. "A blow against ICL is first and foremost a blow against the residents of the Negev and thousands of employees. Negev municipal leaders as well as ICL workers' committees were alarmed by the blatant discrimination and are attempting to reduce the severity of the evil decree so that ICL will not be discriminated against among all industrial exporters. ICL opposes this discrimination firmly and explained its position clearly to the authors of the amendment to the law. Whoever collaborates with or does not speak up against this discrimination is liable to find himself discriminated against on another occasion. The principle of equality should be preserved - and that is what ICL, its employees and the residents of the Negev are fighting for."
ICL is not alone in potentially losing out with the law change. Timna Copper Mines will also receive no grants following the amendment.

text: We moved to Hendersonville NC from upstate NY, and are surprised at what seems to be a total lack, in the Asheville area, of a handmade chocolate shop that carries a full selection of traditional chocolates made right there in the shop. By traditional I mean the style of chocolates you get in a commercial box (tho not the quality of course). Can anyone recommend a chocolate shop that has bonbons, barks, etc in full complete selection near here? We'll travel to Greenville, SC, Columbia, anywhere! I guess Kilwin's ruined it for the individual chocolate maker, but they are soooo expensive, about twice what I paid in Albany NY, which had at least 3 such local shops.
