Kamonte Carter sports one of best offer sheets in the Mid-Atlantic for a 2015 player. The athlete from Gaithersburg (Md.) already has more than ten offers and many of them came when he was only a freshman.
"My freshman year I was at a Maryland camp and they told my coach they were going to offer me as an athlete," said the 6-foot-4, 230-pound Carter. "The same year I went to an East Carolina camp and they said afterwards that they had offered me. I also got an offer at a West Virginia camp. Most of the other offers came in during this past track and basketball season."
Other schools that have offered Carter include Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Rutgers and others.

"They are all great programs. I grew up hearing about those schools," he said. "I hear about all these things but I try to keep my eyes on the prize.
"I like East Carolina, N.C. State, Temple, Michigan, Maryland and Penn State," Carter said. "Coach Johnson from Penn State is a great recruiter. I heard that before I talked with him and I learned it first hand.
"I've also talked to Virginia Tech, Boston College, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Miami and Georgia Tech," he said. "Georgia Tech said they were going to offer me once they saw me in person."
While Carter isn't particularly well traveled when it comes to visits, he is making a serious effort to learn more about schools that aren't exactly close to home.
"I haven't visited many schools," said Carter. "I've been to East Carolina and Maryland. I'm planning on going up to Michigan and Michigan State. We're taking a little vacation out there this coming week. We're leaving on Saturday and coming back on Thursday. I'll take more visits after the season."
Listed as an athlete, Carter has the skills set to play multiple positions and, judging by his comments, he doesn't seem to know where he likes playing better.
"My goal is to not leave the field because I always want to be in a position to help my team win but it's not my decision at the end of the day," he said. "I'm trying to be the starting quarterback and keep my spot on defense but the coaches will move me around to where they want me. Honestly, I love defense and my entire family was raised on defense but I always grew hoping to be a NFL quarterback.
"I'm not going to decide which school I'm going to just based on what position they want me for," Carter said. "There are a lot of other factors that will come into play. I need to weigh out everything."
Carter's father played college football at East Carolina.

Recently I used my home congregation, the First Untiarian Church of Providence, RI, as an example of a church website in need of people — photos of actual human beings. I used them as an example knowing they would be adding new photos and some video content in the near future. I'm happy to announce that they have started the upgrade.
If you missed the "Is your church empty (online)?" post you may read it here.
If you recall, I highlighted the following photo as being beautiful but maybe not the most welcoming.
Now compare the beautiful empty pews to these people filled photos.
You can see more on their website. Well done.

They may be shorter and less experienced than most of their adult counterparts, but the youths who performed in Stoneham Theatre's young company summer festival this year proved to be every bit as entertaining.
They may be shorter and less experienced than most of their adult counterparts, but the youths who performed in Stoneham Theatre's young company summer festival this year proved to be every bit as entertaining.
The festival, which ran from Aug. 9 to 19, featured six full stage productions with lights, sets and costumes, all performed by the boys and girls in the program. The company included almost 30 Melrose youths.
The young company (formally spelled with no capitalization) is broken down into different "acts" for the different age groups in the program, ranging from early elementary school children to seniors in high school. This year's summer festival featured everything from well-known productions such as "Seussical" to "Prom," a show written by the teenagers who were in the cast.
"The entire festival went amazingly well," said Stoneham Theatre's David Costa. "The houses were filled and the kids did an amazing job. It was one of the most successful festivals we have ever done."
Madeleine Carbonneau, of Melrose, had her moment in the sun while starring in "Once On This Island." Described as "an island-flavored, musical cross between 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'The Little Mermaid,'" the play was performed Aug. 9, 11 and 12.
Carbonneau, 14, played the lead role of Ti Moune (pronounced "Tee Moon"), a poor peasant girl who saves the life of Daniel, an upper-class boy, after he is in a car crash. As might be expected of a tale of star-crossed love, Ti Moune falls for Daniel.
Some of Carbonneau's fellow Melrosians shared the stage with her during the "Once On This Island."
It has been a busy acting summer for Carbonneau. She was also one of the only teens to perform in the Striving Artists Theater Company's production of "Taming of the Shrew," performing Shakespeare in the park in six north-of-Boston communities.
In addition to Carbonneau, the following Melrose students participated in Stoneham Theatre's young company festival: Emily Blatchford, Natalie Brogan, Lindsay Collar, Alex Cunha, Nick Doucette, Steven Doucette, Mari Fellenbaum, Mercera Finger, Luke Fowke, Talya Hamberg, Cortney Hannula, Jillian Harrison, Camille Hodgkins, Victoria Isotti, Anastasia Kranz, Becca Kranz, Francesca Rizzo, Alicia Ross, Isabella Saracco, Michael Saracco, Sydney Soucy, Natessa Storm, Dean Storm, Julia Talbot, Sophie Wallace, Jillian Wightman and Megan Wolley.
A summer on stage
The Stoneham Theatre runs summer and winter festivals for the young company, which are meant to give students a feel for the theater and also provide a fun learning experience.
"A lot goes into picking the right shows for the kids," Costa said. "We try to select poignant shows that the kids will enjoy but also ones they can learn from and that reflect issues that they can relate to."
Plays this year included "The Phantom Tollbooth," based on the classic children's book, a production of "Legally Blonde," based on the popular movie, and "Zanna Don't," which is a more mature-themed musical that raises questions about the meaning of love and intimacy.
"Prom" was the final production of the festival. Devised by 19 young performers (alongside theatre artistic director Weylin Symes and acting coach Lyralen Kywith), the show incorporates dance, music and movement into an original piece of theater. The show was developed by the "Act 3" students, who range from tenth- to twelfth-grade students.
"The kids developed the characters and based them on their own personal high-school experiences," Costa said. "Weylin and Lyralen were just blown away by what the kids came up with and thought it was better than anything they could have given them to perform. It's the type of thing that the summer festival, and the young company, is all about."
What's next
Next up at the Stoneham Theatre is "Lumberjacks in Love," which will kick off season 13 on Sept. 13.
Costa described the show as a quirky and engaging musical.
"If you like music and you like to laugh, you will love 'Lumberjacks in Love,'" he said.
The show is unique in that it features actors playing real music on stage, using such offbeat instruments as washboards and ukuleles.

Nay Phone Latt, 29 years old poet and blogger was sentenced to 12 years in prison because he broke the government censorship. What is the name of the country where free blogging is the crime?
sort by best latest
From the name "Nay Phone Latt," I'd guess it was China. But let's not forget the security crackdown caused by the "War on Terror" here in America. Saying the wrong thing on a blog can get you put away for a long time. Not directly, because we have freedom of speech, but in a round-about way. Let's not forget what happened to the Tech blogger who got his hands on a prototype I-phone and wrote about it.

In iran you can get to jail for blogging,In 2005-Tehran has harshly cracked down on the online press as of late. Nearly 20 people have been arrested over the past three months, and two Web journalists, Arash Sigarchi and Mojtaba Saminejad, remain in prison.
In January, Iran's prosecutor-general ordered that a number of major reformist Web logs be blocked by Internet service providers. Dozens of others have been banned, and Web journalists continue to be harassed, illegally held in solitary confinement and even tortured for offenses the government deems "un-Islamic."

I'm going to the big technology show.
Friday October 14,
"I can predict the future by assuming that money and male hormones are the driving forces for new technology." "Therefore, when virtual reality gets cheaper than dating, society is doomed." "Year 2004" "Is Dilbert available?" "He's been in the holodeck since March."
Saturday November 26,
The Boss, Dilbert and Wally sit at a conference table. The Boss says, "I came up with a new name for our group." The Boss continues, "From now on we're the 'Engineering Science Research Technology Systems Information Quality and Excellence Center.'" Wally says, "You should throw 'efficiency' in there too." The Boss holds up a long piece of paper and says, "I designed the business cards myself."
Saturday December 24,
Dilbert stands in front of the Boss's desk and says, "There's a strange smell in the cubes." The Boss responds, "We're using aroma technology!" The Boss explains, "For example, research shows that the scent of lemon makes employees more alert." Dilbert sniffs the air and says, "That's not lemon." The Boss says, "My job's easier when you guys aren't too alert."
Thursday January 12,
Dogbert sits at a conference table with a businessman. Dogbert says, "You'll use your technical expertise and I'll do the business stuff. Sign here." As the businessman signs the contract Dogbert says, "Since you're the inventor of the technology, you'll get 100% of the special decorative non-equity stock. I'll settle for all the common stock." The businessman says, "I hope we can avoid the tension that some partners experience." Dogbert says angrily, "Give me my pen, you miscreant."
Tuesday February 21,
Dilbert asks Dogbert who sits on the armrest of the couch, "Dogbert, I need your help dealing with a pathological liar at work." Dogbert says, "You're in luck. I happen to have a Ph.D. in Liatology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology." Dilbert crosses his arms and says defiantly, "I'd love to see your diploma." Dogbert replies, "I'll mail it to you."
Friday March 17,
Dogbert sits at the Boss's desk. Dilbert and Alice stand in front of him. Dilbert says, "The rumors are destroying our productivity. We can't work with all this uncertainty." Dogbert answers, "I plan to buy proven technology and hire contract employees. You'll be gophers for the contractors until you resign in disgust and humiliation." Dilbert and Alice look scared. Dilbert asks, "Is there any way to get back to uncertainty?" Dogbert answers, "I'll see what I can do."
Monday November 06,
Ratbert approaches Dilbert's desk and says, "I've come to be your personal digital assistant." Ratbert hands Dilbert a pen and says, "Use the little pen to write messages on my stomach. I'll use state-of-the-rat technology to interpret your handwriting." As Dilbert writes on Ratbert's stomach, Ratbert says, "Weave . . . me . . . a . . . cone . . . yoo . . . cupid . . . bat . . ."
Wednesday November 29,
Dilbert, Wally and Alice sit at a table eating lunch. Wally asks, "Alice, did you hear that Dilbert's network connection isn't working?" Alice says, "Uh-oh." Wally continues, "He is what we call a technology 'have not.' His competitiveness in the global economy will last as long as this french fry." Alice says, "So sad." As Wally gulps the french fry, Alice says to Dilbert, "After lunch, I'm going to use something called 'electronic mail.' You can watch if you promise not to touch anything." Dilbert looks angry.
Monday December 04,
Dilbert and Wally sit at a conference table with a sales rep. As they look through some folders, the woman says, "On one hand, my company does use inferior technology in our products . . ." The salesperson continues, "But on the other hand, I'm the most attractive female who has paid attention to you this year." Dilbert responds angrily, "What kind of engineers do you think we are??!" Wally asks, "Do you have pictures of your field support people?"

By Jesús Colina
VATICAN CITY, OCT. 28, 2008 (Zenit.org).- The two youngest participants at the synod of bishops say they were transformed by the assembly. But a cardinal says the young adults' participation in the synod also marked the bishops' reflections.
Twenty-five-year-old Silvia Sanchini, national president of the Federation of Italian Catholic Universities (FUCI) and 28-year-old Daniele Boscaro, clan leader for the Association of Italian Catholic Guides and Scouts of Padua, were chosen by Benedict XVI to participate in the synod.
Sanchini told ZENIT she was surprised by the Pope's decision to make her a participant in the Oct. 5-26 assembly. "Such a young person! In fact, FUCI had never been invited. This was a novelty — a beautiful novelty," she said.
Asked about her experience during three weeks of considering the Word of God in the life and mission of the Church, she said, "For me, it has been very important to have an overview of the universal Church, since this enriches Italy."
"The problems that many faithful of the world have, who can't read the Bible, for us it seems something non-existent," Sanchini continued. "We have the possibilities but we don't take advantage of them."
Boscaro also expressed enthusiasm about his participation in the synod. He mentioned how the Pope would take advantage of breaks to greet the participants.
"The Pope has given me more time than the bishops," he said with a smile. "He introduced me to Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, president of the Italian episcopal conference, who had participated in the Scouts, and the Pope told us, 'Thank you for all you do as Scouts.'"
In Italy, Boscaro explained, for 50 years the Scouts have been organizing camps for educators on the Word of God "so they become people who proclaim the living Word, not a dead letter."
Both Sanchini and Boscaro gave a voice to youth during the synod, dedicating their respective interventions to the theme of young people.
Sanchini urged the synod fathers to make "serious and qualified proposals to favor the encounter of young people with the Word."
She particularly encouraged the promotion of lectio divina, as a method of personal and community prayer. She also recommended "day- or week-long Bible study events directed to youth, preferably in collaboration with monastic communities."
For his part, Boscaro expressed his hope that the synod would serve to awaken the laypeople, the "sleeping giant" of the Church.
Cardinal Óscar Rodríguez Maradiaga, archbishop of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, told ZENIT that the interventions from Sanchini and Boscaro helped the synod fathers stay mindful of the youth.
In particular, he said, during the working groups and informal conversations, the synod fathers have reflected on how to comply with the suggestion from Sanchini to promote "lectio divina" groups among the youth, particularly among university students.

Unanswered: Event recognition problem
I am trying to optomize a database, that was currently used on a local machine only but now resides on a Linux/Samba server so that multiple clients computers can access it. The database was created by a third partie and I do not have access to the form data. The network is a mix of windows 98, 2000 and XP Pro. The database for the most part works fine except for a search function that was built into it.
I am not exactly sure how it works, but this is what I have observed: The database is a gerenral contact tracking database, when you double-click on a text field, like last name for instance, it seems like a macro is executed on this event, and opens a new form in a popup menu where you can enter search terms. When the database is running on a local machine the search function works fine. When installed on the network and accessing the database over the network, the irratating thing is, sometimes the search function works, and sometimes it does not. I've experienced this on both a Windows 98 and XP Pro computer.
I've set op-locks to be off in Samba, as I have read that can cause problems. I am pretty much stumped with this problem any advice on how to proceed with troubleshooting this problem would be appreciated.

Sharon asks…
How successful do you think a children's bookstore would be?
The town is a medium size town…no other children's bookstore..
richmama answers:
I would hope it would be successful. Reading is an important step in development. The one thing you would have to consider is pricing. Can you compete with the bigger chain stores? Remember the movie, "You've Got Mail"?
Linda asks…
How do I open my own children's bookstore? I don't even know where to begin!!?
richmama answers:
Entrepreneur magazine used to publish guides on how to set up different small businesses. I do not know whether they still do. I guess they would be on the Internet for a fee.
Lizzie asks…
Name for a Children's Bookstore?

New Worlds

Worlds of Adventure
Adventures in Neverland
Pixie Dust
New World Tales
Tales of Discovery
Tales of Adventure
Could you tell me if you like any of these, or if you have any other ideas? Thanks!
richmama answers:
The Reading Tree
Bean Bags Books
Book Mountain
The Story Cave
Susan asks…
Can I get books on consignment to start a bookstore?
I would like to open a children's bookstore, but I know the cost of stocking to books will be enormous. Does anyone know of any place where you can get books on consignment?
richmama answers:
Ah ha….and when they don't sell, will you be able to pay return shipping?…after paying rent, utilities.
You need to start thinking – write a business plan.

THIS is the $15 million NSW country hospital rendered useless because it has no doctor.
Nurses, administration staff and cleaners are still there but the wards are empty and locals say they feel abandoned by the O'Farrell government.
The state's latest health care scandal has been uncovered in the central west town of Hay.
Without a medical officer, patients are diagnosed over the telephone by doctors from Griffith hospital, 160km away.
Ambulance workers are fatigued from being on call 24 hours to take patients on a 320km round trip to Griffith.
In one case, a dying man had to be rushed to hospital by the fire brigade because ambulances were out of town.
"Dad was in enormous pain but they just crammed him and took him to hospital," said Lyn Booth whose father Ernie Mabon, 80, later died on the road to Griffith. "He had an awful last few hours. He was going to die anyway but that's not the point."
Mr Mabon was one of three elderly locals to die since the hospital lost its doctor.
A doctor's surgery is 100m away from the hospital but the GP is forbidden by medical laws from treating patients.
Under regulations doctors need to be trained as Visiting Medical Officers to treat hospital patients. The Sunday Telegraph toured the hospital to find empty beds in every ward.
Nurses are rostered on but are not qualified to admit patients. The manager in charge refused to comment.
Hospital staff are forced to discharge patients after four hours, the maximum stay without seeing a doctor, or send them to Griffith.
One eight-year-old boy had to travel 125km to Deniliquin hospital to get antibiotics.
He returned home but had to rush back with an allergic reaction, and was transferred to Albury hospital.
The problem is causing uncertainty in the local housing market, according to real estate agents, and Hay shopkeepers say they are losing business.
Councillor Jason Crighton showed The Sunday Telegraph letters from angry residents who have complained to the shire council.
"What's happening is cruel and heartless," one wrote.
Throughout Hay in pubs, cafes, shops or schools, the hospital crisis is all residents are talking about.
Federal and state MPs blamed poor weather for cancelling planned emergency talks.
Tired ambulance staff have been reduced to running a shuttle service between towns. Sometimes there are no beds available in Griffith and they have to take patients further.
"We're doing the best we can to get through the crisis," ambulance chief Robert Marmont said.
"We're having fatigue issues, not getting enough sleep ... Sometimes we're awake for 20 hours."
Some patients refuse to go to Griffith because it's too far from their loved ones.
One local suffering unbearable pain from a lung disease was given morphine.
"The nurse advised us she couldn't stay overnight to monitor the pain as there was no doctor," a family member said, "so we went home."
Ms Booth, whose father Ernie died on the road to Griffith, said: "Dad didn't have a chest infection like they thought.
"He was in the last stages of his heart disease. If there was a doctor at the hospital, he would have recognised that and said there was no point taking him to Griffith."
"He shouldn't have had to die on the road. My biggest fear is next time it's a young child. That's why it's got to be fixed."

The Big No
Call for Papers (CFP) PDF format
The CFP is closed.
The Center for 21st Century Studies invites proposals for papers and presentations for our Spring 2017 conference, The Big No, to be held April 27-29, 2017.
Confirmed speakers include Joshua Clover, Katerina Kolozova, François Laruelle, Ariana Reines, and Frank B. Wilderson III.
Deadline for proposals is February 1, 2017.
What does "no" say? Who and what says "no?"
No's eruptive force transforms the argumentative landscape. From two-year old children to mature nation-states, the interruptive immediacy of naysaying can occur at surprising and inconvenient moments. The ability to refuse emerges early and maintains its appeal and power. In cultures of capitalist consumption, "no" has the power to defend and upend assumptions of order and propriety. From Thoreau to Gandhi to Marcuse, the will to nothing has provided a source of individual and collective creation.
Refusals dramatically reshape politics, nationhood, sovereignty, and land. Twice over the past 75 years the Greeks have famously declared their own version of No, "OXI"; the Brexiters aimed to withdraw from the European Union without proposing an alternative; Native Americans from across the continent have come together against DAPL in a collective refusal. The contexts of "No" involve political, economic, even physical risks, making naysaying an often difficult and complex act.
"No" can be a language of protest and overcoming. Its power operates across lines of disciplines and ideology, across modes of writing and the refusal to write. Negation can resist or avoid authority, or can identify and highlight forces which insist on forms of complicity and agreement. The lines between different forms—the conservative "no," the creative "no," the "no" of the striker or dissident—deny the clarity of lines of ideology or identity. "No" also brings about its own failures and dangers: of inaction, of regret, of retribution.
We invite proposals for papers and presentations. Topics may include, but are not limited to:
- Policies and programs of naysaying
- No as a refusal of patriarchy
- Queerness or refusals of gender
- The "No means No" movement
- Afro-Pessimism and social negation
- The feminist killjoy
- Non-philosophy and non-aesthetics
- Historically significant refusals
- Disidentification and nonsovereignty
- Disrupting hierarchies & taxonomies
- Rhetorics and narratives of naysaying
- Ressentiment and declination
- Activism, protest, and occupation
- Non-Anthropocene and nonanthropocentrism
- Disability versus nonability
- Refusing bureaucracy
- Bureaucratic refusal
- The unproductivity of saying no
- Naysaying and inaction
The CFP is closed.

I tried this place because it was top rated on other social networks, but honestly the flavor is just average (had mushroom-pepperoni and three cheeses).
Also, I ordered a large pizza to go and was told had to wait fifteen minutes, which is ok, but ended up waiting for half an hour. So only go there if you're close by and want to buy slices. But don't expect the meal of the week.

Blues defend Kakuta signing
Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon is adamant the signing of Gael Kakuta is not 'child trafficking'.
Last Updated: 08/09/09 3:49pm
Chelsea are adamant the signing of Gael Kakuta is not 'child trafficking' and say they will support a ban on the international transfer of players aged under 18.
Fifa have handed the Blues an 18-month transfer ban after finding the Premier League club guilty of inducing Kakuta, then 16, to break a contract with Lens back in 2007.
Chelsea are appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and the club's chief executive Kenyon has claimed there has been shock at the ban.
Fifa and Uefa both want to outlaw international transfers of players aged under 18, and the bodies have referred to the practice as being akin to child trafficking.
But Kenyon said: "It was something that happened two years ago that was in no way child trafficking.
"I think you've also got to distinguish between the issues."
Kenyon added that Kakuta, now 18 and viewed as France's most promising young player, had also been stunned by Fifa's verdict.
He said: "He wants to play his profession, which is football.
"We need to take account for that and understand this is something that happened two years ago, and make sure we've got enough support around him to ensure he's fully supported at a difficult time."
Kenyon, speaking after a meeting of the European Club Association (ECA) in Geneva, insisted Chelsea would support a ban on the international transfer of players aged under 18.
He said: "This has been talked about for the last 12 months and we have signed up fully to the ECA and UEFA's position, along with FIFA's.
"We need to separate our overall position with the specific case. The fact we are appealing tells you our position."

Trust me, I speak with you folks all over the globe we were not taught what believing Jews know. In particular those who know the Messiah. Those who don't still know more about Elohim than every Christian Pastor of the earth who thinks the Law was fulfilled. That is the lie (I could careless if that offends you, REALLY!) Challenge what you have been taught! I am very blunt concerning this....Everyone wants to hear, nice spirit filled commentary as they toss the Jews under the bus with much of Christian doctrine causing this! You won't get that sort of consideration from me.....We need to stand with our Jewish brothers.Yeshua will not honor you...according to HIS own words
Matthew 7:23 and then will I avow unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, workers of lawlessness. [Workers with out TORAH]
You must understand the context of this verse...no other religious body does anything in HIS NAME accept Christianity/Catholicism ......Catholicism is demonic in my opinion and much of Christianity comes from this understanding.....The son of Mary and Joseph was a Jew and Rabbi Paul never became a Christian on the Road to Damascus!
Those who know me personally know why I jumped out of the pews and got onto the field...The enemy is a liar and for 1900 years many follow the lie and don't know it (I love you guys, I really really do.
Watch this first...it will help to understand this post (Make time you won't regret it)
Two Questions that I get asked all the time are (Especially by black folks, Pastors, Ministers and Prophets)
1) Why do we need to know all that Jewish stuff?
2) Why do you keep trying to put us back under the law?
When I address the questions I find (ACROSS THE BOARD) that most (not all) are clueless to the scriptures.......
Many know Christianity but very few know God's word. I am not trying to be offensive but I am not going to sugar coat my message...not in 2011. WE don't have time and much of the church has been deceived and does not know it.
I am going to speak into the black community with a roar as I obey the God of Israel. I address all people but specifically the Black Church...UN-COLOR YOURSELVES. (And everyone else that lives vicariously through racism and race identity)
I am going to speak into the black community with a roar as I obey the God of Israel. I address all people but specifically the Black Church...UN-COLOR YOURSELVES. (And everyone else that lives vicariously through racism and race identity)
If you do not know the bible from a Hebraic construct and if you don't know much AT ALL about the Jewishness of Jesus (Yeshua) it is because you have been TAUGHT Christianity (and the Greek translation of the Gospels which has its root in Catholicism but know next to nothing about HIS word and what the Hebrews were shown) You have to know both! {Beginning with Genesis and not John}
How many of you know anything at all about the synagogue? How about the TORAH and what all of those Jewish Disciples were having restored by a Jewish Messiah the words that were given to Moses? The New Testament writings did not exist when Jesus was teaching the LAW to every person he came in contact with. Incidentally, He was speaking for ABBA who Abraham heard & Obeyed (Genesis 26:4-5)
Then why did he teach it to 40 men 12 of whom were the core of his followers the Old Testament or the words of his Father? Why did he write it down for Moses with his finger and why does he say over 7000 times in scripture, "Keep my commandments?" (After all he was born in the flesh but was always very, very, very active in the bible long before his birth! How many times did He quote Paul?
We were taught that Judas betrayed Jesus...Actually (according to many sages) He was trying to cause Jesus to demonstrate his power by forcing the coming King to do what he was going to do. He did betray Jesus but not in the way we are taught. Judas was trying to force the issue...like Aaron did when he made the golden calf. Remember, in Hebraic thinking God repeats history over & over again
Let's look at the very first verse in the bible.
(I have it listed in both the English and the Hebrew)
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth
בראשית- ברא -אלהים את השמים -ואת- הארץ׃"hebrew" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
(Remember Hebrew is read from right to left)
The biggest thing that I hope you will see about what is above is how the center branch of the Menorah lines up under the Aleph/TAV (Alpha/Omega, in Greek)
You will notice too, that in the English (Translation) The word Aleph/Tav is not translated in fact it is not even listed. Completely left out...????
Note all of the Jots and Tittles, which offer great insight in the scripture were not translated in the Greek nor are they translated in the English bibles of the last 500 years (How important are they? It is best compared to getting out of bed without your head!)
(ASV) Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished. What is a Jot and a tittle people?
Back to the menorah and the first verse in the bible...what did John see in Revelation"
Revelation 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."
And where did John see him standing ?
"I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man,"b dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest.
Now we know that the Menorah is representing the servant branch (Center branch) which connects God to Earth and supports all of the plan of Creation...He was born a Jew. I could write for the rest of the day about the Menorah but many of YOU think this is a Jewish thing.
If you don't understand this stuff YOU cannot see what is happening in the earth. You cannot see why the Jews are only one twelfth of the 12 sons of Jacob
(Very Important: All are considered Jewish in todays rational but, what does the scriptures teach us about their origin?) Specifically, they are of the House of Judah)
- WE cannot understand why the land, that the Arabs are trying to take from Israel is the land that JUDAH is to inherit.
- WE DON"T UNDERSTAND why God created INHERITANCE and blessed Judah and Joseph with splinting the birthright. [The enemy is doing everything he can to stop this inheritance by killing the Jews for centuries now.]
The church has taught that the hell of the Jews is because they were replaced, they killed Jesus...Actually the Syrians under the leadership of Rome, the Gentiles, killed Jesus. Like I said, WE know what WE have been taught but we don't know the scriptures from the mind of those who God chose to teach us (Every time you open your bible you read what they wrote and than in the same breathe call them blind(?) Ironically those blind folks have taught you everything that you know and the Blind church tossed what they know under the bus!
Like the story of Joseph revealing to his brothers who he was...the same pattern is about to repeat....A replay of the story of Joesph is occurring. Soon they will know and the church will know.......
For anyone to believe that a rapture is going to occur and take the true church out of the world is because they know Christianity and not God's word...Everything is about Israel and Judah. Israel is not just the JEWS, they are a nation scattered. The Diaspora continues The Messiah is going to take a church which only knows Him from a Greek perspective out of the earth, millions will simply disappear and His direct descendants will remain her to experience tribulation....My God, the damned angle has done a good job with this relatively knew concept.
Read Jeremiah 31:31-40 and Ezekiel 37:15-27
[Not one time while out lining the New Covenant does he say Judah, Israel and Christians]
Some Scriptures to address
[American King James Version]
In the Scriptures we read:
Revelation 22:13 "I am Alpha and Omega [Aleph/Tav], the beginning and the end, the first and the last."
Isaiah 44:6 "Thus said the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God."
Isaiah 48:12" Listen to me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
The Lion of the Tribe of Judah
Revelation 5:5 "And one of the elders said to me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Hebrews 7:14 "For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood."
If the goal is to know Jesus, (YESHUA) why does the following happen virtually every time I ask the question?
- What do you know about the Jewishness of Jesus?
You carry what they were given into your church every Sunday and yet you don't know what the Menorah represents or the 10,000 (smile) things that are recorded in the first sentence of the bible. Actually, the first word in the bible is Breisheet (In Hebrew)
When you break this word down in ancient Hebrew you see a summary of the entire bible including the cross event...If you don't understand any of this IN THIS GENERATION....I am pretty sure that many of us will follow the Anti Christ in the same way that Germany followed Hitler...or at the very least face a slaughtering such as what occurred via Hitler. May the God Israel have mercy upon us.

More News on 510 Fifth Avenue
March 18th, 2011, 10:04 am
MAS testified on Tuesday at the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) regarding proposed changes to the recently designated Manufacturers Trust Company Building at 510 Fifth Avenue. The proposal before the LPC was for restorative work and alterations to allow for the ground floor to be divided to accommodate new retail uses. MAS praised the project's significant amount of restoration work, but raised concerns about some of the alterations.
The Manufacturers Trust Company Building is one of New York City's most important examples of mid-century modernism. MAS made the case, that as such, it is critical to retain as much of the original fabric, and restore as much of the original design intent as possible, while at the same time allowing for a new use. Given the almost complete transparency and extremely fine and minimal design of the building, it is challenging to alter it in an unobtrusive and appropriate manner.
MAS made a number of specific design recommendations that would allow for retail to be introduced, while protecting one of New York City's finest modern buildings. Read the testimony in its entirety.

If you're going to play on Creig Northrop's team, you'd better dress the part.
For men, that means a suit and tie -- every day.
"For women, that means be professionally dressed, though I don't know if I can exactly define that," said Northrop. "But you know what it is. I've seen jeans and shorts and, oh, my gosh, we don't allow that kind of thing. If you want people to treat you professionally, you have to look it."
The man is unmistakably confident about what he wants, and projecting a professional image is just one cog in the mega-wheel that is the Creig Northrop Team. Its 40 agents last year racked up more than $308 million in sales, putting the Clarksville, Md., team in the No. 1 spot on RealTrends' annual list of the nation's 1,000 top real estate teams, by sales volume.

Andersen balance E589 27 6-78
A quick learner from Virginia Beach, Virginia says:
August 19, 2015
I need to replace an Andersen sash counterbalance. The current counterbalance installed has the following markings: E589 27 6-78 and 11600-2 Could you please tell me which current product is compatible for this window?
Tom from SWISCO responded:
August 19, 2015
I'm not so sure about this one. I think the key numbers here are "9 27." Can you confirm? Are they perhaps displayed more prominently than other numbers? If so, I recommend our 24-939. This can replace Andersen balance boxes stamped with "9 27."

Eleanor: Blue vs. White ?
7 comments:
- Daniel Sardella said...
Both have qualities I like. You make it difficult to choose, Sam! The original feels slightly bolder because the background is white. I love the blue of the title on the blue one though. How does the blue look with a white background?
- June 22, 2017 at 8:27 AM
I'd like to see the blue background but with the yellow lettering to be honest. Wonder if that might look pretty cool
- June 22, 2017 at 9:16 AM
I like the blue -- it makes the bird stand out a bit more, and makes the title pop a bit more in contrast to the yellow in the illustration.

I like the blue one. The blue brings out the third dimension (gives it more depth?).
The white looks more flat.

I like the blue one if I had to choose. Since I own the white one already, I would like to own the blue ;)

No Deal on the Buffalo Casino
by Bruce Jackson
The federal case
The bottom line on US District Court Judge William M. Skretny's 51-page January 12 decision in the Buffalo casino case is this: The nine-acre parcel of land in downtown Buffalo on which the Seneca Nation of Indians wants to build a casino never received the kind of examination from the federal government that would determine whether or not it was in the category of Indian land on which gambling could occur. Absent an adequate determination, no casino gambling can occur in Buffalo.
There was no question, Judge Skretny said, that the Senecas owned the downtown land. But there is a huge difference between land Indians own and land that meets the legal requirements for casino gambling. The Senecas can build anything they like on their downtown Buffalo property—hotel, school, hospital, sphinx, casino, anything at all. But they cannot gamble on that land or invite anyone else to gamble on it. If they build a casino in spite of Judge Skretny's decision, as some of their spokesmen have said is their plan, they risk pouring money into an enterprise even more pointless than the slot machines their clients so dearly love. But unlike most of their customers, they've got lots of money and perhaps can afford to squander it in a pointless public gesture.
Judge Skretny reversed and remanded the National Indian Gaming Commission's (NIGC) 2002 determination that it was "Indian Land" (which is specifically defined by federal law) and therefore gambling-eligible land as "arbitrary and capricious." He sent the determination back to the NIGC, saying this time they had to give it a serious rather than a cursory look, which means this time the commission will have to say what parts, if any, of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 (IGRA), which controls all gambling in Indian land, applies to the Senecas' downtown Buffalo purchase.
That act prohibits, with very few exceptions, gambling on Indian land acquired after October 18, 1988. If the NIGC decides the land is in fact Indian land, and if that land falls under one of the few exceptions, gambling will be allowed—at which point casino opponents will be back in court challenging that determination. If the NIGC decides the Seneca purchase is not Indian land, the Senecas will in all likelihood be in court challenging that rejection of their request.
Until the commission determines whether or not the Senecas' ownership of the land is included or is excluded by the restrictive section of the IGRA, the parcel is just land that the Seneca Nation owns, nothing more.
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit were Citizens Against Casino Gambling in Erie County and a number of other groups and individuals. After the suit was filed, Erie County Executive Joel Giambra asked the judge to permit himself and the county to join the suit. The judge agreed.
The defendants were all federal officials and agencies: the Secretary of the Interior, the Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs, the chairman of the NIGC and the NIGC itself. Any or all of them could appeal Judge Skretny's ruling and thereby attempt to block any reconsideration by the NIGC. Most lawyers I've talked to think there is little likelihood that the Second Circuit Court of Appeals will reject a judge's decision that a federal agency clarify a poorly done determination.
The Seneca Nation of Indians was not a party to the lawsuit but asked the judge if it could submit an amicus brief. Amicus curiae ("friend of the court") briefs are documents submitted by individuals or organizations who either have information that the judge might use in his determination or who have interests not represented by the plaintiffs or defendants. Since these briefs become part of the record and take time to deal with, judges are parsimonious about accepting them. Judge Skretny agreed to accept the Seneca amicus brief, but he rejected all of its major points, the most important of which was a request that he dismiss the entire lawsuit. No one, he said, was challenging the Senecas' ownership of the land; the only questions had to do with the uses to which it was being put and those interests were well enough represented by the actual defendants.
He dismissed as moot most of the plaintiffs' major requests, which casino proponents have been crowing over in interviews this past week. They're crowing over nothing. "Moot" means simply that a question has, at this point, no practical significance; it doesn't mean the question is in any way defective. Judge Skretny said that proper determination of the land parcel's legal status had precedent over all other arguments, so they had to wait for that determination. Since the judge did not dismiss those major requests on their merits, they can all be brought up again should the NIGC rule that the Buffalo Creek nine acres is Indian land eligible for gambling.
The full 51-page decision is online at http://buffaloreport.com/2007/judge.skretny.order.011206.pdf.
Running mouths
For several months now Buffalo lawyer Michael Powers has been insisting at great length and with no perceivable doubt that the proposed gambling joint in downtown Buffalo was a done deal. The only options—Powers confidently told the Common Council, the citizens at the council's public hearing on the casino, the city's control board, the Buffalo-Niagara Partnership and who knows who all else—were to go with the flow or to get rolled over by the inevitable.
No one on any of the public bodies before which he performed his "done deal" routine ever made him defend his assertions. No one on the control board or the council or the partnership said, "What's your evidence for saying this is a done deal?" They just listened to him as if he were presenting a report rather than hyping a position.
Sometimes Powers was paid for his efforts by Buffalo developer Carl Paladino, sometimes by Mayor Byron Brown's office, and sometimes, he claimed, he was doing it pro bono for the welfare of the city he lived in a suburb of, a claim his quondam employer Paladino disputed.
It was difficult to tell if Powers was working as a lawyer or if he was working as a flack for any of the aforementioned or for clients still unnamed. In any case, he stayed on message: The casino is a done deal, a done deal, a done deal.
Wrong. Judge Skretny's decision says all bets are off. There isn't any deal, done or otherwise. There isn't anything, at least not until the NIGC comes up with a reasoned and documented decision on the status of the Buffalo property, and that decision, in turn, stands up to the court challenges that surely will come.
Powers isn't the only one who let his mouth get in front of the facts in this case. An hour or so after the decision came down last Friday, Erie County Executive Joel Giambra called a press conference in which he announced that the Buffalo casino was dead. That's no more a certain fact than Powers' claim that the casino was a done deal.
As is often the case in major public issues, a lot of people on either side run their mouths, but the only voice that really counts is a judge who looks at the facts and at the law and who then says whether what is going on is legal or illegal, whether it can continue or whether it must stop. That is what happened six years ago when New York Supreme Court Judge Eugene Fahey told the Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority that it had to stop whatever expansion it was doing and come into compliance with New York's environmental law. And that is what happened last week when US District Court Judge William M. Skretny told all the talkers and players in the proposed Buffalo casino that they'd have to stop what they were doing until there was a legitimate determination of whether or not that casino would meet the conditions for gambling set forth under federal law.
The land in question
This case hinges primarily on the interpretation and application of two laws, the 1988 IGRA and the Seneca Nation Settlement Act of 1990 (SNSA).
IGRA sets up the conditions under which casinos can be operated on Indian land and a mechanism for monitoring their operation. It creates a commission—the NIGC—to oversee and regulate all gambling on Indian land and to consider applications for new casinos. With only a few exceptions casinos can only go on land Indians owned before the adoption of IGRA in 1988.
One of those exceptions has to do with land acquired in a land claim process. In her November 12, 2002 letter allowing the Buffalo project to go forward, Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton said the Buffalo property was the result of a land claim process because a small portion of the money used to buy the Buffalo property came from the $30 million provided by the Seneca Nation Settlement Act.
Former Congressman John LaFalce, who coauthored the SNSA with Amo Houghton, disputes that. He says using SNSA to help legitimize setting up a gambling joint 14 miles from any reservation in a location where it would otherwise be prohibited by the state constitution is a perversion of the act's intention and substance. Neither he nor Houghton, nor the members of Congress who unanimously voted for it, ever contemplated it would be used as a gimmick to get around state law. More important, he says, SNSA isn't a land claim act anyway, so it and money derived from it have no place in an IGRA action. The Seneca Nation of Indians, he says, owned the land around Salamanca before the SNSA and they owned it after the SNSA. The act didn't compensate them for land taken from them improperly; it compensated them for having been underpaid by the non-Indian lessees who had been living there. The SNSA was, in Judge Skretny's words, Congress seeking "to assist in resolving the past inequities to the SNI, to provide stability and security to the non-Indian lessees, to promote economic growth and community development for both the SNI and the non-Indian communities established on reservation land, and to avoid the potential legal liability on the part of the United States that could result if a settlement was not reached." No land ever changed hands or status as a result of SNSA.
The judge has told the NIGC to sort this out and document how they did the sorting. The commission has three members, two of whom must be Indians. The chair is selected by the president, the other two by the Secretary of the Interior. Most of NIGC's work has to do with keeping the casinos honest. As the number of attempts to create off-reservation casinos has increased, the commission has taken on a gatekeeper function as well. Since NIGC can only regulate gambling operations on lands taken into trust by the federal government that was either Indian country before 1988 (which the Buffalo parcel was not) or fits through one of the loopholes in § 2719 of IGRA, that gatekeeper function is critical. If they say a parcel of land does not fit through a loophole, then Indian gambling cannot occur on it.
A television reporter at Giambra's press conference asked, "Since there are two Indians on the Commission won't they just rubber stamp this?" The answer is no, they won't just rubber stamp this. That's what the chair of NIGC did last time and that is why Judge Skretny said he was kicking it back to them. This time, the judge said, they had to give reasons in law for their decision.
So won't those two Indians find excuses in law to do what they want to do anyway?
That maligns the commissioners and it ignores NIGC's behavior. It has, in several recent cases, some of them similar in key regards to this one, rejected tribal claims that acquired land was gambling land. They are willing to say no. They post their final determinations in the Reading Room/Indian Land Opinions section of the commission's Web site: http://www.nigc.gov/ReadingRoom/IndianLandOpinions/tabid/120/Default.aspx. See, for example, the July 19, 2004, Wyandotte Nation and the September 1, 2006, Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians restored land rejections. This is not a gimme for the Senecas.
That Web page also contains a link to former-Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton's November 12, 2002, letter explaining why she did not affirmatively approve the Seneca Nation of Indians' request but let the permitting go forward by non-action instead. She had, she said, major problems with many key issues in the Buffalo deal, but finally didn't want to get between the governor and the tribe. Judge Skretny's decision telling the NIGC to give this a serious, reasoned look doesn't reverse her letter; rather it abolishes it. The NIGC now has to do the job that Norton sidestepped and the NIGC chair glossed over three years ago.
This gatekeeper function wasn't envisioned for NIGC when IGRA was written, so there doesn't seem to be a set of rules and regulations setting forth how these determinations are made. There's no formal procedure by which interested parties can make their concerns known, no equivalent of the amicus brief in a court case, no notice or hearing requirements in the regulations and the way appeals of NIGC decisions are handled. They seem to be handled on an ad hoc basis.
So we know who gets to make the next decision—the National Indian Gaming Commission—but not how that decision will be made or when it will be made. "Significantly," a lawyer told me, "the regulations provide for appeal only of a disapproval of a gambling ordinance, and the appeal can be made only by the Indian nation—though if the Indian nation does appeal a disapproval, third parties are permitted 'limited participation,' i.e., a written submission either for or against the disapproval."
The state of the suit
Nothing's over. The Buffalo Creek casino is stopped for now, but there are many stations ahead on the road to final resolution of this mess.
If NIGC says the Buffalo Creek property is not Indian land, then the Seneca Nation of Indians will probably go to court to challenge that decision, and the roles in the case just adjudicated in Judge Skretny's court will be reversed: The plaintiffs whose case has been underwritten by Citizens for Better Buffalo will perhaps ask to file an amicus brief supporting the decision of the NIGC, while the Seneca Nation of Indians will be challenging the government's decision.
If NIGC says the Buffalo Creek property is Indian land, it will have to do so with specific reference to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, something no federal official or agency has thus far done. That will provide the specific grounds for the plaintiffs to return to Judge Skretny's court, bringing along all of the points that were mooted out this time.
It might be that the environmental impact study, which former Buffalo Mayor Anthony Masiello, current mayor Byron Brown and former governor George Pataki worked so hard to avoid is, because of Judge Skretny's involvement, now inevitable, and for the first time public officials will have to take seriously the huge economic harm the casino would do to the city.
Such studies are routinely done elsewhere; Buffalo is an anomaly. Nearly all the pending casino applications listed on the Indianz.com Web site (http://www.indianz.com/maps/casinostalker) have done environmental impact studies or are doing them now. The Bad River and St. Croix bands of the Chippewa Tribe have worked since 2000 on putting an off-reservation casino into Beloit, Wisconsin. First, Beloit had a referendum in which 61 percent of the voters approved the idea of a casino. Then there was an environmental assessment in 2003 and a draft environmental impact statement in 2005. The process is still going on.
What happened in Buffalo was just the opposite. The State Senate had defeated a casino amendment in 1997, so Pataki got gambling by using Indian lands and compacts, an end-run around the state constitution. Buffalo voters were allowed to speak at a special Common Council hearing, but the council paid no attention to what they said. There were never any studies done of the casino's impact. It has all been based on patronage and politics.
What next?
At some point the Senecas might decide the continual legal battling isn't worth it, but that's not likely. They're minting money in Niagara Falls and they can afford to support a platoon of lawyers.
It might be that Buffalo gets a mayor who is willing to look at the economics of a downtown casino rather than the political advantage of the patronage jobs it might bring and there would be a new governmental voice joining the plaintiffs in federal court and speaking out at the EIS hearings. It might be that the congressman in whose district the casino falls, Brian Higgins, decides that it will do so much harm to the waterfront project on which he is developing his reputation that he'll be willing to go public and say he thinks a downtown casino sucking huge amounts of money out of the city is the antithesis of development. Perhaps politically and financially powerful businessmen like M&T boss Robert Wilmers, who recently said at a control board hearing that he strongly opposed casinos and thought this one was a terrible idea, will get off the fence, take a public stand and apply some of their vast resources to the public's good.
Lots of things could happen, and they could, in turn, influence agency decisions and judicial attitudes.
Complex lawsuits rarely end. People get tired or run out of money and they stop. That's why so often in such cases the public gets screwed. Citizens who organize to stop what they perceive as civic abominations hardly ever have the deep pockets of those who expect to reap big bucks at the end of the process. The Senecas were prevented from setting up shop in Cheektowaga not because of the civil feeling of citizens in Cheektowaga, but rather because Buffalo businessman and casino advocate Carl Paladino underwrote the lawsuit that forced everyone to return to Buffalo.
But then Buffalo got lucky. The city's second-largest foundation, the Margaret L. Wendt Foundation, decided that the downtown casino would do the city such harm that it was worth a major investment to keep it from happening. And a large number of community members contributed money to help that effort. Citizens for Better Buffalo was able, using those contributions and the Wendt support, to mount two lawsuits that have now cost a million dollars.
The opponents of a downtown casino aren't going away; they're not wearing out and they're not running out of money. They don't have as much money as the casino operators—who does?—but they have enough to stay in the game.
Moving on
The action now moves to Washington, DC, where the waffling of the Buffalo-Niagara Partnership and the Buffalo News, the hawking of Carl Paladino, the wishful thinking of Michael Powers and the patronage needs of City Hall will all carry little or no weight. Washington is undergoing an identity makeover. The Democrats control Congress, so the rubber-stamp relationship with the Department of the Interior and other agencies for most of the last six years is gone. Jack Abramoff, the lobbyist who spent millions influencing or pretending to influence casino deals, is in prison, his connections and projects are the subject of a huge Justice Department investigation, and people at the Department of the Interior are far more careful than they were two years ago about improper influence.
People can speculate about what's going to happen next, but, save for one thing, nobody knows with any certainty at all. The one thing is this: Whatever the NIGC decides, the displeased party will be back in court. We're not close to hearing the fat lady sing. The curtain just came down on Act One. Enjoy the intermission.

Addressing the plenary session of annual meetings of the IMF and the World Bank, which started here Friday, IMF's Managing Director Christine Lagarde said that "we have a responsibility to raise our eye and look toward some of the major changes that will transform the global economy over the next generation."
In this more multi-polar world, the share of emerging and developing economies in global gross domestic product (GDP) will increase from about half to nearly two-thirds in the next decade, with a rapidly expanding middle class in those nations, reported Xinhua citing her.
"The stage is set for a world, 20 or 30 years from now, where economic power will be far less concentrated in the advanced economies -- and more vastly dispersed across all regions," Lagarde said. "Today, the world economy is not simply connected, it is hyperconnected. This will propel financial integration on a scale not yet quantified, and to corners of the world not yet reached," Lagarde said.
"As emerging and developing countries grow and converge, their financial interconnections will become deeper and more complex. Deeper integration will fuel growth, but not without risk. Experience teaches us an important lesson: greater financial integration raises the probability and size of financial crises," Lagarde said.

The mother of Matthew Shepard shares her story about her son's death and the choice she made to become an international gay rights activist
Today, the name Matthew Shepard is synonymous with gay rights, but before his grisly murder in 1998, Matthew was simply Judy Shepard's son. For the first time in book form, Judy Shepard speaks about her loss, sharing memories of Matthew, their life as a typical American family, and the pivotal event in the small college town that changed everything.
The Meaning of Matthew follows the Shepard family in the days immediately after the crime, when Judy and her husband traveled to see their incapacitated son, kept alive by life support machines; how the Shepards learned of the incredible response from strangers all across America who held candlelit vigils and memorial services for their child; and finally, how they struggled to navigate the legal system as Matthew's murderers were on trial. Heart-wrenchingly honest, Judy Shepard confides with readers about how she handled the crippling loss of her child, why she became a gay rights activist, and the challenges and rewards of raising a gay child in America today.
The Meaning of Matthew not only captures the historical significance and complicated civil rights issues surrounding one young man's life and death, but it also chronicles one ordinary woman's struggle to cope with the unthinkable.
A mother's memoir of her young son, his murder and the effect on a galvanized public. Born on Dec. 1, 1976, Matthew Shepard died on Oct. 12, 1998, the victim of a murderous attack because he was gay. His death became a significant juncture in the cause of gay rights. Shocked sympathizers from across the country spoke out in memory of the small, vulnerable young man who was brutally pistol whipped and bound to a fence to die in Laramie, Wyo. Now his mother, who has become a vocal activist in support of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender causes, presents the back story to those tragic events. She begins with a simple portrait of a sensitive, empathetic kid who was into dress-up and playacting. His father was an oil engineer working in Saudi Arabia; Matthew was schooled in Switzerland. During a high-school trip to Morocco, he was beaten and raped. After returning home, he became lonely and clinically depressed. His two killers, intent on robbery, picked him up in a Laramie tavern and inflicted grievous injury to the innocuous young man. Never regaining consciousness, he died in a hospital a few days later. Life turned surreal for his family. In the media storm they rightly feared exploitation. There were instances of bigotry, but there was also a wellspring of public support and compassion. The author poignantly recalls the days after her son's death and the subsequent trials of the killers. "There are still nineteen states where crimes motivated by the victim's sexual orientation (actual or perceived) are not considered hate crimes," writes the author, "and there are thirty states where it's still okay to fire people because of their sexual orientation." Shepard is working diligently toassure that the Matthew Shepard Act, still stalled in Congress after a decade, gets passed, and she hopes her son's story becomes a necessary catalyst for change. Honest and inspiring. Agent: Jay Mandel/William Morris Agency
