Appalachian Hardwood Verified Sustainable Ames True Temper is proud of its long-standing environmental stewardship, and one example can be seen in our wood handle production. Many of our tools feature Northern Ash or Hickory handles. These handles are produced by our wood mills that are located in a specific region of the Appalachian Mountains distinguished as "verified sustainable" using US Forestry Service data. In that region, forests naturally replenish at a rate of 2.29 trees for every tree harvested, which occurs without manual replanting efforts or chemical applications.
New Sustainable Garden Care Products True Temper EcoGardener™ Tools The EcoGardener™ Tools are the best solution for environmentally conscious gardeners. The tools are made from sustainable materials including fast-growing bamboo for the handles and recycled steel for the shovel heads. These tools are just as tough as their "traditional" counterparts. The bamboo handles are not hollow, but constructed with strips of bamboo pressed together to form a solid handle, but made from renewable resources, providing users with a responsible green alternative. With the addition of EcoGardener, green enthusiasts can reduce their impact on the environment by using tools made with bamboo handles and blades made from recycled steel. Bamboo is unique in that it grows in a variety of climates and geographic locations and replenishes much more rapidly than traditional hardwoods. The EcoGardener™ line features seven new products including:
* Long Handle Round Point Shovel * Long Handle Square Point Shovel * D-Handle Garden Spade * D-Handle Round Point Shovel * Bow Rake * Cultivator * Garden Hoe

On Valley Edition: Dueling Tax Measures, Scholarships for FUSD students
Today on Valley Edition we look at the competing tax measures on the November ballot, Propositions 30 and 38. Both promise to protect funding for schools but critics have questioned both, and some political observers have said that the presence of both on the ballot could mean neither will pass. We also talk with a Fresno couple who donated $1 million to fund scholarships for students at Fresno's Tehipite Middle School. And we also learn more about plans for a walk and series of events to raise awareness about asthma in the Central Valley.

I developed plantar fasciitis recently and I wear these sandals in the house in lieu of slippers. They are super comfortable and flexible and yet provide the support I need. I put these on as soon as I get home from work and any pain in my heel fades away immediately.

Mark Dorf - //_PATH (2013)
Artist's statement:
"When examining our daily contemporary lives in Western culture, one finds that there is barely a single situation that is not influenced by digital technology and communication through the World Wide Web. I specifically find interest in the ways in which we have become dependent upon this technology to help aid us in our navigation of our every day and how it affects our perception of the world around us all socially, emotionally, and physically – it is no longer about logging on or off, but rather living within and creating harmony with the realms and constructs of the internet for our newest generation of inhabitants.
//_PATH explores these ideas through digital photography, collage, 3D rendering, and primitive 3D scanning technology. Within the images I focus on using strict geometric and synthetic form to contrast against the landscape in which they are manifested; a comparison of language.
The natural landscape can be seen as the most ancient of symbolic languages: it is the original set of symbols that birthed all of modern language; it is the original text. Focusing on the landscape and our modern digital language, I seek to understand our aggressive capture and digitization of our surroundings through very basic use of pure color and the native tools of contemporary digital imaging that we use to create meaning and manipulation in mass media."

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons know what it takes to win in the regular season.
When it comes to the playoffs, that's another story.
Perhaps no team faced a greater burden going into this postseason than the Falcons (13-3), the NFC's top-seeded squad for the second time in three years. They've yet to win a playoff game under the current trio of quarterback Matt Ryan, coach Mike Smith and general manager Thomas Dimitroff -- one-and-done in all three appearances going back to the 2008 season, the last two not even close.
Not surprisingly, the players keep insisting the previous years don't matter; they're only looking forward to Sunday's divisional game with the streaking Seattle Seahawks (12-5).
But the senior member of the team, center Todd McClure, concedes there will probably be some additional pressure when the Falcons take the field at the Georgia Dome.
That makes a quick start crucial to Atlanta's hopes.
"We've been disappointed a few times," said McClure, who's been with the Falcons for 13 years. "I think we've got guys in this locker room who are hungry and ready to get over that hump."
The Falcons have gone 56-24 in the regular season since Dimitroff and Smith took over in 2008 and drafted Ryan with the No. 3 overall pick -- more wins than any team during that span except New England (60-20). But the significance of five straight winning seasons, two division titles and, now, a fourth trip to the playoffs has been undermined by the lack of success in January.
It wasn't that big a deal when Atlanta, after surprisingly making the playoffs as a wild card one year after the Michael Vick debacle, lost to Arizona in the desert 30-24.
But the loss two years ago was a stunner, the No. 1-seeded Falcons -- who, like this team, went 13-3 and earned a first-round bye -- getting blown out at home in the divisional round by sixth-seeded Green Bay 48-21.
Then came last year, when Atlanta went 10-6 but was viewed as an underachieving squad, a perception that proved factual in the playoffs when the Falcons' high-powered but inconsistent offense was completely shut down by the New York Giants, who romped to a 24-2 victory on their way to capturing the Super Bowl title.
Carrying around all that baggage, the Falcons can't help but be a little skittish about facing a team that might be hotter than anyone in the league. The Seahawks have won six straight games, including last week's 24-14 victory over Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins in the opening round of the playoffs.
"We can't get too tight," McClure said Wednesday.

Natasha "Tasha" Mache Moses Bates was arraigned in Bradley County Criminal Court Monday.
She will be represented by 10th Judicial District Public Defender Richard Hughes and assistant PD John Fortuno, according to Hughes.
River Bates, 3, and Leland Bates, 5, reportedly died of hyperthermia, or extremely high core body temperature, after the June 28 incident.
Their mother was also indicted on two counts of aggravated child abuse/endangerment, four counts of initiation of manufacture of methamphetamine, and one count of promotion of methamphetamine manufacture. The drug charges are the result of detectives returning to the home on a search warrant.
They went to a Keith Valley Road address on July 13 under after receiving information about possible drug activity, according to Bob Gault, media relations coordinator for the Bradley County Sheriff's Office.
Criminal Investigations Division detectives began their search for answers after officials rushed to an Armstrong Road home around 3 p.m. June 28 where they had reports of two young children unresponsive and possibly drowned.
The residence where Bates had taken the children was reportedly the home of her father. Investigators began looking into the case at Moses' Keith Valley Road residence where the children had been outside playing, according to initial reports from the BCSO.
River Bates died at SkyRidge Medical Center a short time after the incident was reported. Leland Bates died the following day.
Early in the investigation, Dr. Jeff Miller, Bradley County medical examiner, reported the children died from hyperthermia.
The two children had elevated core body temperatures, according to Miller and other officials.
Temperatures that day reached 105 degrees or greater.
Sheriff Jim Ruth said BCSO's detectives believed Leland and River Bates were in some type of confined space which elevated their body core temperatures.
"Through investigation and statements, investigators found reason to believe the boys died in a car," Gault said.

The ALA report looked at federal and state level actions that make it easier for smokers to quit, including what tobacco cessation treatments are covered by a state's Medicaid program. SoonerCare (Oklahoma Medicaid) provides all seven FDA approved medications to help smokers quit. Nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, inhaler, nasal spray, Chantix and Zyban are all covered. The following five states had the highest scores for their overall efforts to help smokers quit: Maine, North Dakota, Delaware, Oklahoma, and Wyoming. Oklahoma was the only state in the region to make the top of the list. This is encouraging news for state initiatives that have been put into action to help Oklahomans who want to quit smoking. The Oklahoma Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET), Oklahoma State Department of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) have been working together to educate and combat tobacco usage among SoonerCare members. OHCA will soon enter into an agreement with TSET to bring down federal matching dollars to help pay for SoonerCare members usage of the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline. (Interested parties can call 1-800 QUIT NOW to receive free information on quitting tobacco and one-on-one, telephone counseling with Quit Coaches.) ―We know the devastating effects smoking tobacco has on the health of an individual and our communities,‖ said Mike Fogarty, CEO of the Oklahoma Health Care Authority. ―As a purchaser of health care, it is our responsibility, and a wise investment, to make sure the appropriate resources are available to those who are looking for help quitting.‖ The CDC estimates tobacco use rates for SoonerCare members are as high as 58 percent, much higher than the state's average of 23.7 percent. OHCA has focused in on specific SoonerCare populations creating the following two programs for the SoonerQuit initiative: SoonerQuit for Women: Encourages women of child-bearing age to talk to their doctor about quitting smoking. (This campaign is closely modeled after the successful MassHealth initiative that received accolades in the ALA report.) SoonerQuit Prenatal: Educates SoonerCare obstetric providers on best practices for tobacco cessation for their patients. This is a systems level change that could potentially improve the birth outcomes in the state. Oklahoman's can also visit www.OKhelpline.com to register and receive services and support through the Web. ―We are proud of the recognition Oklahoma has received as a result of many years of strategic and collaborative effort on the part of organizations and individuals driven to improve the health status of our population,‖ said Tracey Strader, executive director of the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET). ―The Oklahoma Health Care Authority has made the most effective tobacco treatments available to Oklahomans most in need. This not only improves the health of Oklahomans in the SoonerCare program, but it also reduces the cost to taxpayers of treating tobacco-related illnesses. For every person who quits smoking, the CDC estimates that $1,623 is saved every year in excess medical costs alone.‖ Total Enrollment Trend The "No Poverty Data" group consists of members with no poverty data and members enrolled with an aid category of U- DDSD State, R2 - OJA not Incarcerated, or R4 - OJA Incarcerated. These aid categories do not require poverty data or do not use the poverty data.

Im actually a fashion blogger and I think these shoes are incredible! They are very similar to the Céline Slip Ons and these are very popular in street style. But I do recommend to go half size o a size larger because they do run small!
Very Chic!
By Maya

I love the slip on sneaker trend and had been looking for months for a quality and trendy version. I love the pony hair and the padding on the inside. This shoe however does run half a size small and is a little narrow, with this in consideration they make a great everyday shoe. If you select the black be wary that the die does bleed a little onto the white rubber bottom with wear. Otherwise worth the price for a cool trend!

Great Looking Sneakers
By MsBean
from Long Branch, NJ
The aesthetics of these sneakers are truly pleasing to the eye. With that being said, these do run a tad bit small. I ordered my usual size of 6.5 and felt that ordering a 7 might have given me some wiggle room. I have to wear these with bare feet or very, VERY thin socks and even then it's a bit tight. I hope that when I break these in they will stretch a bit. As for comfort level, these aren't as comfortable as a sneaker should be, but that may be because they are a bit small on me.If you decide to purchase these sneakers, size half a size up!
Good looking shoe but runs small
By Shelby
from Michigan
I love the style of the shoe and the pony hair. The only downsides are that it runs small and that it wasn't as comfortable as I expected for a sneaker.

I have an article in this week's Jewish Journal about the $10 million Cheryl and Haim Saban pledged this month to the Los Angeles Free Clinic, where Cheryl was a patient 25 years ago, a few years before she married the man behind "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers." While writing that article, I came across this 15-month-old piece from Ari Shavit, one of Ha'aretz' great writers, about the family's Christmas tree and Haim's journey from Egyptian ghetto to Beverly Hills billionaire.
As the gaping guest walks by the neatly trimmed lawn and the wooden wheel of the imaginary water mill and the windows of the chateau, a heavy door opens for him, beyond which a gigantic Christmas tree sparkles and shines with its decorations. In the long stone corridors that lead to the wood-paneled guest room, the familiar songs of Naomi Shemer play softly: Whatever you wish, let it be. Whatever you wish, let it be.
Saban himself enters a few minutes later. He is somewhat excited. He didn't really want to be interviewed, but decided there was no choice. At the weekend he will convene the Saban Forum for the third time, and the gathering obliges public relations. Since he lost the hold he had in the White House through his good friends Bill and Hillary Clinton, the Saban Center at the Brookings Institution and the Saban Forum have become his levers of influence on political Washington and on Jerusalem. (For the sake of proper disclosure: The author of this article was invited to lecture at the Saban Forum.)
n recent years, the ability of the colorful Israeli-American billionaire to bring together Ariel Sharon and Bill Clinton, Shimon Peres and Henry Kissinger, Tzipi Livni and Condoleezza Rice has become one of the achievements of which he is proud. During the two years in which his personal fortune grew from $2.2 billion to $2.8 billion (according to Forbes), Saban succeeded in adding to the list of power centers he controls this prestigious annual gathering of senior Israeli and American figures for a joint dialogue.
Does Haim Saban understand the suspicions that his large and well-connected fortune arouses in Israel? Does he see the problematic character of the relations between big capital and government? Even before he sits down in his armchair, Saban goes on the attack.
My favorite part is the headline, which seems to have no place in the text: "You made it big, you jerk."
As for the Christmas tree, Cheryl is Christian; they're raising their kids as Jews.

You've probably noticed that blogging has been fairly weak the past week. There is a reason for that, and it's that I've been in and out of town and, it seems, too frenetically reporting or writing to thoughtfully blather.
Not that I am going to pick that up again quite yet, but here is an interesting excerpt from Slate of editor Jacob Weisberg's new book "The Bush Tragedy" that focuses on the religious politics of our 43rd president:
If Bush's theology is free of content, his application of it to politics is sophisticated and artful. Evangelical politics is a subject on which he has exercised his intellect, and perhaps the only one on which he qualifies as an expert. Bush began his study in 1985 on behalf of his father's effort to become president. George H.W. Bush regarded televangelists like Pat Robertson as snake handlers and swindlers. Reflecting his parents' attitude, Neil Bush referred to evangelical Christians in a speech for his father in Iowa as "cockroaches" issuing "from the baseboards of the Bible-belt." For their part, the evangelicals felt no affinity for Bush Sr. They found his patrician background off-putting and suspected the sincerity of his conversion to the pro-life cause.
To help him with this problem, Bush Sr. brought in Doug Wead as his evangelical adviser and liaison. Wead had been involved in a group called Mercy Corps International, doing missionary relief work in Ethiopia and Cambodia, and gave inspirational speeches at Amway meetings. He was also a prolific memo writer. The most important of his memos is a 161-page document he wrote in the summer of 1985 and a long follow-up to it known as "The Red Memo." Wead argued for "an effective, discreet evangelical strategy" to counter Jack Kemp, who had been courting the evangelicals for a decade, and Pat Robertson, whom he accurately predicted would run in the 1988 primaries. Wead compiled a long dossier on the evangelical "targets" he saw as most important for Bush. ("If Falwell is privately reassured from time to time of the Vice President's personal friendship, he will be less likely to demand the limelight," he wrote.) Wead made a chart rating nearly 200 leaders for various factors, including their influence within the movement, their influence outside of it, and their potential impact within early caucus and primary states. Billy Graham received the highest total score, 315, followed by Robert Schuller, 237; Jerry Falwell, 236; and Jim Bakker, 232.
Unbeknownst to Wead, Vice President Bush gave the Red memo to his oldest son. After George Jr. pronounced it sound, George Sr. closely followed much of its advice. For instance, Wead recommended that the vice president read the first chapter of Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, a book that had become a popular evangelical device for winning converts. "Evangelicals believe that this book is so effective that they will automatically assume that if the Vice President has read it, he will agree with it," Wead wrote. Vice President Bush made sure that religious figures saw a well-worn copy on top of a stack of books in his office when they visited the White House and cited Lewis' condemnation of the sin of pride as one of the reasons "we haven't been inclined to go around proclaiming that we are Christians." He also took Wead's advice on how to answer the born-again question; in courting the National Religious Broadcasters with three speeches in three years; in inviting Falwell, James Dobson, and others to the White House; in cooperating with a cover story in the Christian Herald, the largest-circulation evangelical magazine at the time; and in producing a volume for the Christian book market.
George W. Bush became the campaign's semiofficial liaison to the evangelical community in March 1987. "Wead, I'm taking you over," he said at their first meeting, over Mexican food in Corpus Christi, telling him to ignore Lee Atwater, whom Wead had been reporting to. Wead recalls how anxious George W. was in political conversations with his dad. "He was a nervous wreck," Wead told me. "He wanted his father to be proud of him." Wead also recalled the son's expressions of his own political interest. The campaign had prepared state-by-state analysis of the primary electorate in advance of Super Tuesday in 1988. "When he got the one on Texas, his eyes just bugged out," Wead remembered. "This is just great! I can become governor of Texas just with the evangelical vote."
The crucible of the campaign forged a close relationship between the two men. Wead, whom George W. called "Weadie," says the candidate's son spent an inordinate amount of time talking about sex. But he was so anxious to avoid any whiff or rumor of infidelity that he asked Wead to stay in his hotel room one night when he thought a young woman working on the campaign might knock on his door. "I tried to read to him from the Bible, because by that time he was sending me these signals," Wead told me. "But he wasn't interested. He just rolled over and went to sleep."
Having Wead put him to bed was a way to advertise his marital fidelity, and to reinforce a distinction with his father, who was facing rumors about the Big A. Wead said Bush also liked having him around as an alternative to the company of drinking buddies from his pre-conversion period. But Bush resisted religious overtures as firmly as sexual ones. "He has absolutely zero interest in anything theologicalânothing," Wead said. "We spent hours talking about sex ⦠who on the campaign was doing what to whomâbut nothing about God. And I tried many, many times."

VATICAN CITY - Italy's most prominent Muslim, an iconoclastic writer who condemned Islamic extremism and defended Israel, converted to Catholicism Saturday in a baptism by the pope at a Vatican Easter service.
An Egyptian-born, non-practicing Muslim who is married to a Catholic, Magdi Allam infuriated some Muslims with his books and columns in the newspaper Corriere della Sera newspaper, where he is a deputy editor. He titled one book "Long Live Israel."
As a choir sang, Pope Benedict XVI poured holy water over Allam's head and said a brief prayer in Latin.
"We no longer stand alongside or in opposition to one another," Benedict said in a homily reflecting on the meaning of baptism. "Thus faith is a force for peace and reconciliation in the world: distances between people are overcome, in the Lord we have become close."
He did not speak to the press Saturday and his newspaper said it had no information about his conversion.
Allam said in the interview that he had made a pilgrimage to Mecca, as is required of all Muslims, with his deeply religious mother in 1991, although he was not otherwise observant.
"I was never practicing," he was quoted as saying. "I never prayed five times a day, facing Mecca. I never fasted during Ramadan."
Allam also explained his decision to title a recent book "Viva Israele" by saying he wrote it after he received death threats from Hamas.
"Having been condemned to death, I have reflected a long time on the value of life. And I discovered that behind the origin of the ideology of hatred, violence and death is the discrimination against Israel. Everyone has the right to exist except for the Jewish state and its inhabitants," he said. "Today, Israel is the paradigm of the right to life."

The Jewish Journal's annual Purim cover is out now, and it's got a few gem jokes that reference news of note mentioned here in the last year. There's Eliot Spitzer and the whore of Babylon, the U.N.'s response to continued rocket attacks on Sderot and, of course, Ann Coulter and The Perfect Jew. My favorite "headline" though is about Israeli PM Olmert's ridiculously low approval rating. (Truth to be told, his approval rating spiked in July to, gulp, 8 percent.)

The most wonderful time of the year begins now, with the tip-off of the NCAA tournament. The last few years I have taken work off at the start of March Madness to soak in full days of pandemonium. This year is no different. I'm not sure what to expect, no one ever is. But I'm sure there'll be a moment or two as memorable as this one.
My wife and I were cheering so loudly during the Gonzaga-UCLA game two years ago, banging the walls and jumping around like apes for a good 20 minutes, that I seriously expected the cops to show up. They never did, and two days later I was in Oakland watching UCLA eek by Memphis en route to another Final Four.
(Last fall I played poker with Adam Morrison, who was peeling off $100 bills like he was feeding quarters into a pinball machine. I was mature enough not to mention the last game of his college career. Coincidentally, the next morning his season ended when he busted his knee in a game against the Clippers.)
Anyway, enjoy the madness and thank God—seriously because the tournament starts this year on Maundy Thursday—that it's March. I'll be back this weekend to wish The God Blog a belated happy birthday.

I first learned of Saigon Bob one day while putting off deadline at the Daily News and refreshing the home page of LAObserved. Bob Kholos had been press secretary for legendary Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, and on his blog, which LAObserved linked me to, Kholos alleged that while running for mayor, Bradley's campaign had discovered that then-Mayor Sam Yorty once paid for a back-alley abortion that left the young woman dead.
Instead of blasting it in the news media, we decided to use it about 10 seconds prior to a live debate in the San Fernando Valley just a couple of days before the election.
Aide, and future Bradley Press Secretary, Tom Sullivan volunteered to run past Yorty just as the debate started and whisper a name.
Sullivan whispered the name of the person, and Yorty responded, âSo, your going to play that game.â
Six months later, Bob contacted me after reading an article I'd written about an eruv dividing Oak Park and its expensive neighbors, Agoura Hills and Westlake Village. I last talked with Bob, whom I believe now lives in Oregon, shortly after I joined The Journal. But yesterday he shot me this note—"This Obama 'guilt by association' has the definite feel of the old Tom Bradley 1969 campaign ... in which he lost as Mayor"—with a link to his thoughts on why the Jewish community should support Barack Obama.
Social justice is a four thousand year old tradition in Jewish history(some would say five thousand years..give or take a thousand years)
Of course, that does not mean that every person practices such an ideal, but this strength among the Jewish population has lead to the end of child labor, a movement of Unions, better treatment of animals, and a joining together with other minorities in bringing about the civil rights revolution in America (That's the short list)
Certainly, Hillary Clinton and John McCain, have also enjoyed wide Jewish support, and deservedly so.
Senator Barack Obama, is a special case.
He is trying to bring about a "post racial" attitude among all Americans.
As far as Obama's support for Israel, one Israeli newspaper said that, "Barack Obama is pro-Israel. Period."
Also, guilt by association, has been the unfortunate hallmark which has been used to destroy many Jewish communities throughout Jewish history.
An angry preacher, and a Black separatist, have supported Senator Obama. But, nothing could be further from the truth, as to the mind set and political practice of the junior Senator from Illinois.
To blame him for the small mindedness of others is about as "un-Jewish" as you can get.
Barack Obama is his own man, a great candidate, and someone who can bring a nation together.
That is the best reason to support him.
I sense Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein would agree with that logic.

The Press-Telegram has an unbelievably powerful op-ed by the surgeon who tried to save the life of an 11-year-old boy gunned down Sunday. The story is awful in its evocativeness and it fully sapped the energy out of me, bit by bit as I read on.
I just finished sewing up a dead boy.
I pronounced him dead at 10:34 p.m. Sunday. It's now 11:27 p.m. I know I won't be able to get to sleep for a long time. I feel like I shouldn't.
I'm a trauma surgeon at St. Mary Medical Center in Long Beach. I was sulking in my call room on Palm Sunday because I missed yet another important moment in my 5-year-old son's life. A tarantula crawled all over him at his best friend's birthday party, and my wife had e-mailed me a glorious photo of this big, hairy arachnid on my son's face. The phone rings, and I am summoned to the ER for a "gunshot wound to the chest." That's bad, but around these parts, sadly not a surprise. Then the ER secretary adds, "... in a 12-year-old." That changes things a bit. As I hurry down to the Emergency Department, I play out several horrific scenarios in my head - a mental exercise in preparation for what certainly was to be a difficult situation.
I arrive to a room filled to capacity with doctors, nurses, techs, volunteers, firemen, policemen and paramedics. The strictly medical people are swarming around an impossibly small figure, in a flurry of needle sticks in search of a vein, monitor-pad placement in search of a vital sign, stethoscopes vainly searching for a breath sound or a heartbeat. The non-medical personnel had formed a concerned and curious peanut gallery. One ER doctor blurts out the important points, "GSW to the chest, pulses in the field but ... ," while another ER doctor is prepping this small chest for an ER thoracotomy. In English, an "ER thoracotomy" is where you flay open a chest in a soon-to-be-dead patient, in the hopes of finding a hole you can quickly but temporarily fix. Once that is done, it gives you a chance to give the patient necessary things like blood and IV fluids (where they now will not simply flow out of those repaired holes), and get him to the OR so you can fix him properly. It is the trauma surgery equivalent of a Hail Mary football pass. This is not a "difficult situation"; this is a nightmare.
The ER doctor hands me the knife, as if to say, "Here. It's yours." I think the kid is dead, or if not dead, then he certainly is "unsalvageable," which is a horrible word to use for a human being. I don't think he's fixable. However, if he is to have any hope of survival, the only way to save him is to crack him open and try to plug up the holes. Cracking open an 11-year-old boy (he was two months shy of his 12th birthday) is going to tear my own heart in half, I think to myself, but this is part of what I do, so I slip the gloves on and take the knife.
There is precious little skin to cut through, and I'm in the chest in a few seconds. His chest cavity is filled with blood, which spills out of his chest like a macabre waterfall to the floor. There's a shredded tear in his lung, and a big, ragged hole in his heart. All the IV fluids that my associates are pouring into the patient are flowing out this hole and on to my shoes. I put my finger in this hole - such a big hole in such a small heart - but blood and fluids still flow unfettered. My other hand finds another, larger hole on the other side of his heart. My fingers touch. His heart is empty. Mine breaks.
I've read C.S. Lewis' "The Problem of Pain," and I know that God is wise beyond ways and endlessly merciful and just. But could somebody please explain to me again the mysteries of theodicy?

A wonderland of snow in Sapporo
The Sapporo Snow Festival is one of Japan's major winter events. The city of Sapporo has hosted the event since 1950 when six local high school students built six snow statues in Odori Park. Today, the other venues are Susukino and Tsudome. About two million people come to Sapporo every year to see a large number of splendid snow statues and ice sculptures. For seven days every year, Sapporo turns into a winter dreamland of crystal-like ice and white snow. A highlight of the event is the international snow sculpture contest, which this year drew 11 teams from various regions of the world. This gallery brings together the best photos from many years of the festival.
An ice sculpture of an eagle is displayed at Odori Koen during the 57th Sapporo Snow Festival in 2006 in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.
