Arch at Marin County beach crumbles after recent storms
Published: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 9:07 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 9:07 a.m.
A fascinating geological feature that graced a Marin County beach for decades crashed to the ground in mere seconds over the holidays.
The arch at Tennessee Beach at Tennessee Cove was the subject of hundreds of photos over the years, often when the sun would shine though the hole, creating a beam of light that landed on the beach.
But on Dec. 29, after several storms drenched Marin, the natural archway came crashing down onto the beach below.
"When we got to the beach, we noticed a few rocks tumbling down," said Robert Wills, a graduate student at the California Institute of Technology who was on the beach with his family for a holiday walk. "I pointed my camera toward the arch thinking some more rocks might come down. The next thing I knew there was a flow of debris."
"It was pretty exciting," Wills said of the massive collapse, which occurred at about 2 p.m. "It was definitely a rush to see it." Wills' father, Chris -- who coincidentally is an engineering geologist with the California Geological Survey -- was with his son to witness and document the rockslide.
"The whole thing was kind of 'wow,' especially given my background," Chris Wills said.
The event also left a pile of rubble at the base of the cliff. and a cloud of dust. Much of the rock that fell has washed into the ocean, turning the surfline a milky brown that was still evident Monday morning.
Anne Lamott of Fairfax strolled on the beach Monday and was amazed at what Mother Nature had done.
"It's kind of something that can't be, yet there it is," said Lamott, a well-known Marin author, as she surveyed the new cliffside terrain. "I have been seeing the arch for almost 50 years. It's like someone came down and erased it with a big eraser. So many people will come out and wonder what has changed. It was beautiful before and now it's beautiful in a different way."

Horizontal Industrial Use Case Design and Implementation
In this task we focus on horizontal frameworks and the design of appropriate semantic components that have such key characteristics. As a proof of the design and implementation we present the results of integrating such components in existing CMS. The description of work gives us the following terms of reference: • From Task 2.2 - Task leader is UPB: "Understanding the needs of horizontal frameworks". This task will test the software platforms of NUXEO, DAY and TXT with respect to their relative coverage of the Interactive Knowledge Stack and at the same time look at the service provisions currently offered by the three "horizontal" platforms with a view to extending the functionality of the Interactive Knowledge Stack if necessary." • From Task 4.2 - Task leader is NUXEO: "This task will investigate how open source software platforms including those of the industri-al partners can be enhanced by components of the Interactive Knowledge Stack. We expect to develop components with which interaction, business rules, legacy data access and reasoning support can be integrated into the CMS-technology stacks of the various open source platforms." • Time line for this task is the project's months 18 to 34 which are Y2Q3 to Y3Q4. The remainder of this deliverable is structured as follows. In the next section we focus on the design of the horizontal case. The challenge from the perspective of the horizontal task is to design a system and a reference architecture which supports very different integration and usage scenarios. In section 2 we will describe how the design was implemented and have a look at the provided horizontal components. Section 3 reports on integration stories where the technology developed in the horizontal task was used by industrial partners and integrated into their environments.

Even if you've never heard of Guy Harvey, you probably know his fish-themed T-shirts, sported all over the Caribbean and beyond. The Jamaica-born Cayman Islands resident specializes in marine art — everything from small pen-and-inks of groupers to 300-foot murals of sharks — and knows the scientific names of all his salty subjects. But what else would you expect from a former university professor with a Ph.D. in marine biology? In his second career as a wildly successful artist, Harvey's remarkably realistic images adorn canvas and even vinyl car wraps. We found the man himself at his George Town gallery to get his take on Cayman — and those ubiquitous T-shirts. Here are highlights ......

"He is Risen" Since: Jun 09 487 |
Revelation 13:16-17 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.
It is at this time, that the anti-christ and his false prophet remove tolerance from religion. The anti-christ and his false prophet will demand, and receive, worship from the masses. Gone will be the viewpoint that any religion is good as long as it is sincere. The anti-christ and the false prophet will demand the worship of all people and will require the death penalty for any who refuse. Their appetite for power will not end with their take-over of all religion. The anti-christ and his false prophet will take complete control of all the worlds commerce. The power will follow the money. The small, the great, the rich and the poor, the free and those in slavery, will all be given an identifying mark on their right hand or forehead. This mark will become the passport of world trade. Only those having this mark will be allowed to conduct any type of business. The freedom to buy and sell will be denied to any that do not bear the mark of the beast, or his number. It will be intimidation of the most powerful kind. Intimidation number one; the fear of death. Intimidation number two, the fear of being denied the necessities of life. This will be big government at its biggest and its worst. It will be the ultimate fulfillment of the saying,Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. This government will be a combination of all the political and religious evils plaguing the world rolled into one fatal relationship. Political freedom, religious freedom and personal freedom will have disappeared from the face of the earth. But people will not care. All the people of the earth will have become so comfortable to the lying signs and obvious deception, they will think they have reached a long hoped for and sought after, utopia. In order to carry out commercial activities, a person will be required to receive one of the following, the mark, the name or the number of the name of the beast. This will be a compulsion of the most powerful and evil kind. It will be especially difficult for those with children to refuse this mark. While offering freedom, this government will create a terrible form of slavery by its great power. But being deluded, the multitudes of people will call the government their benefactor. The anti-christ and the false prophet will hold absolute control of religion, commerce and government. At the same time, immoral permissiveness will become the standard. There will be no moral restraints placed on human behavior, so long as that behavior does not challenge nor interfere with the power and religion of that government. |
"He is Risen" Since: Jun 09 487 |
Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.
We now come to one of the most pondered and debated verse in the Bible. Over the years, many have attempted to decipher the name and the number of the beast, and have failed. Those who have tried could be named legion, for they are many. John tells us,Here is wisdom. I must confess, I do not have such wisdom. The understanding of the number may be plainly displayed before my eyes, but I can not discern it. When it comes to the meaning of the number of the beast, I am dull of hearing. The word understanding comes from a Greek word meaning mind, or reason. The word count comes from a Greek root word meaning stone, as in a stone used for casting votes. After a vote was taken, the stones were counted. We are told to count the number of the name of the beast. The number is six hundred, sixty and six. There are some manuscripts have the number as six hundred and sixteen, but those manuscripts have been largely rejected as copyists errors. I have read many of the efforts to decode this number, but none seem to be satisfactory for two reasons. Number one, history has proved them wrong, and number two, there is no way to prove their data is correct. Some say one of the Caesars was the anti-christ. Some say Pope Benedict XVI is the anti-christ. Some say Hitler was the anti-christ. Others have named Joseph Stalin. Some say that Gorbachev was the anti-christ and the birthmark on his forehead was the mark of the beast. And there are still others who say the President Barack Obama is the anti-christ. The truth is, the number of the beast has always been puzzling, and so does his identity, and remains so to this day. Many people are afraid of the number 666, and will not have a car tag or a phone number or a cash register receipt with this number on it. Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobiac s is the term for people who fear the number 666. I personally see no reason to fear a number. Counting the number confronts us with another problem. In what language are we to do the counting? John gives us a number and we are told to count that number. Are we to count in Hebrew? Are we to count in Greek? Are we to count in Latin? Are we to count in our own language? Both the Hebrew and the Greek languages assign numeric values to the letters of their alphabets. Such usage of the alphabet for numbers in the Hebrew Torah is rare, if such usage is used at all. Rather than use letters of the alphabet for numbers in the Torah, the numbers are spelled out. The Greek language also assigns numerical values to its letters. And for the most part, numbers are spelled out in the New Testament in the fashion as the Old Testament. This also adds to the problem of decoding this number. The Textus Receptus (the Greek Version on which the King James translation is based) uses three letters of the Greek alphabet. In Nestle and Kurt Aland, the number is spelled out. John tells us the number can be counted by one having reason. How do you count the number of the name. I simply have to say,I do not know. I think we should not be worried about being unable to count the number of the beast. I believe that when the man of sin is revealed, all believers will know the meaning of the number of the beast, and so, be able to refuse it. God will not allow His own to be misled into accepting a mark upon which the judgment of God has been pronounced. John tells us the number is the number of a man. The word translated man does not mean generic man, as in mankind, but rather man referring to a specific male individual. This indicates the man who will head up the government, which is symbolized by the beast out of the sea. |

Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Greetings, salutations, and shalowm, dear Brother. It's been awhile, I know. I've got a lot of reading to do if I'm to catch up, but from what I've heard, you've been doing an exceptional job here. Anyway, I thought I'd stop in to say hello, first and foremost. Just recently, I had "ran" into Listen To This. I should be making more frequent visits, if our Godhead permits it. Until then, though, I'd like to add my hay-penny worth, if you don't mind. If it's one thing we know, not one thing found in the bible can't be reasoned, explained, and understood, by referring to another portion of the bible. In this, I've long believed the following verses to be associated with this mysterious "number." Zechariah 13:7-9 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God. As I believe, "Six hundred threescore and six" is equivalent to "two parts" in simple arithmetic. I know it's quite possible I could be wrong, but I've found no other reasonable explanation in the bible. What say you? |
"He is Risen" Since: Jun 09 487 |
Brother, it is so good to hear from you. I have been keeping up with you, reading your other threads, and must admit, I have been very interested, and do believe I understand the points which you have been making. I too have been in touch with our Sister, LTT, and always find her contributions interesting and challenging.
What specifically is Zechariah speaking of?Two parts shall be cut off and die; but a third shall be left therein. The first thing I thought of was Revelation 16:19,The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath. But this does not seem to work in this specific area, because Revelation 13:16 tells us that free men and the slaves will receive a mark on their right hand or their forehead. That mark has something to do with the name of the beast or the number of his name. I believe that this will be a genuine mark of sorts that will identify those that will accept the word of the anti-christ, and who will worship him or his image. My point is that I do not see where the two parts comes in, in reference to the mark. Is it the two parts that receive the mark? Those that receive the mark of the beast, or his name, most certainly will be cut off from our Father. Zechariah13:7-9 may be associated with this number, but I still do not see how to calculate number at this time. I will 'think' on this some more. Keep in touch Brother . |

(It's me--LTT--I got registered but still have some more work to do on my registration--it isn't all how I want it--and the picture was drawm by my brother--Jesus, the Good Shepherd).
Hello, my dear brothers in Christ! What I am thinking, is could it be tied in in a way--somehow--symbolically anyway--or as a clue as to who is going to be affected by the mark or where it will be in effect? What I'm getting at is this: I've heard some preachers and speakers on the programs I listen to say that there are going to be countries that the mark won't affect. I don't know this for sure--or I don't know if I believe it. It's something to think about. I do believe Jordan is not supposed to be affected by it. Do each of you (or anyone else reading) have any thoughts on this? Hey, BLL, it's great to see you posting again! Hi Halycon! Both your posts are amazing! |

I found it LTT. Thank you, haven't been on this thread before. I'll check it out when I get caught up. Hi Bro Love! I posted you this AM on the trinity thread but it disappeared. It was to you and the JW dude. Cyber-demons I guess abducted it. Ya'll take care. See you later! |
Since: Feb 12 675 |
Hey, good! OK! |
"Become Love!" Since: Jan 09 11,503 Nowhere/Now here |
Greetings, salutations, and shalowm, again, dear Brother. First, I must admit, I'm glad you've been following my posts, especially those in "John 8:58," "John 10:30," and "1John 5:7," but more-so because you grasp the points I've been making. I'll tell you like I've told countless others. I don't share these things expecting an immediate change of belief. Rather, all I ask is that we consider an alternative perspective. Now, on to the subject-matter. Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Okay. First thing's first. In this verse, we're made aware of how simple it could be to "count the number of the beast." This is what it's alluding to when it says that it is "the number of a man." That "man" is all of us. In other words, this "number" is not beyond man's comprehension, reasoning, or understanding. We need not rely on any miracle, or divine assistance, to "count" this "number." Man, generally-speaking, uses this same formula to count, constantly. And the meaning of this number can be familiar to us. Another verse that uses such similar terminology is Revelation 21:17. This says, "And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel." In other words, the angel measured the wall, but with measurements that are familiar to man. Nevertheless, wisdom is still necessary if we're to come to an accurate calculation. Wisdom is necessary if we're to know exactly what it is we're counting. NOTE: For the record, the "mark," as I believe, is the equivalent (yet opposite) of the seal of our Godhead. The "seal" signifies our faith and obedience, rooted in love (2Tim 2:19), while the mark represent the opposite (disbelief and disobedience, rooted in feigned love, perhaps?)[1John 2]. The mention of the "hand" and "forehead," as I believe, represents our deeds and thoughts, as you most likely know already. Anyway... Now, here's where I get confusing. I believe this "number of the beast" is a mission and desired goal. As we read Revelation 13, we have to keep in mind certain things. I'm going to have to continue this. Hopefully, in my next post, I can address Zechariah 13:7-9. |
"Become Love!" Since: Jan 09 11,503 Nowhere/Now here |
As I was saying, there's certain things we should remember as we read Revelation 13. 1. John was a Hebrew Israelite. 2. The second beast's mission was to lead all to worship the first beast, whose mission was to wage war against the saints and overcome them. 3. The "saints" are, as I believe, the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 4. A majority of the bible focuses on our Godhead's final fulfillment of all the promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Fist, I mentioned that John was a Hebrew Israelite, because John would have been accustomed to using certain, specific language. In Revelation 13, he mentions "saints." And if we read Psalm 50:5, this says, "Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice." Now, Romans 9 reminds us of Paul's "brethren," his "kinsmen according to the flesh: Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen." These are all significant to what I'm about to share. As I stated, I believe this "number of the beast" is a mission and desired goal. Now, lets read Zechariah 13:8 once again. "And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein." Now, check this out. Here's the "simple" part I mentioned, this "number of a man." What's the possibility that "Six hundred threescore and six" and this "two parts" are identical? In other words and according to man's calculations, what's the chance that both represent 66.6% and/or 2/3 (two-thirds)? What if the first beast's objective was to overcome 66.6%, or two-thirds, of the saints? I feel rather foolish even sharing this, but I think it's a possibility. Please and if you will, tell me what you think. |
"Become Love!" Since: Jan 09 11,503 Nowhere/Now here |
How things change.
This was what I had posted back in May of 2009. __________ For the record, the "666" at Revelation 13 is misunderstood to have a numerical value, but it doesn't. Now, the number "6" does have a spiritual value and this is where the understanding begins. The same application to understanding the "666" is found with the "7x70" and "12,000x12" equations. In this sense, the "6" denotes the fall of man. This number, then, is equivalent to "6x3" rather than "six-hundred, threescore and six." (As cautiously as I can, I must interject that outside the writings of the original scrolls, in their original tongues, we are subject to translation errors.) This same usage is used at Revelation 8:13 which reads, "And I beheld, and hear an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe..." In essense, if the spiritual value of "6" was to denote "wickedness," then "6x3," or "666" would indicate, "wicked, more wicked, most wicked." The usage of this number at Revelation 13:18 is to pronounce the estate and condition of mankind at the return of Christ. __________ I still believe that this is somewhat true. Considering, this would be part of a dual-interpretation. |

And in case anyone wishes to visit the threads I began...
John 8:58 thread http://www.topix.com/forum/religion/christian... John 10:30 http://www.topix.com/forum/religion/christian... 1John 5:7 thread http://www.topix.com/forum/religion/christian... "John 8:58" has been taken over. "John 10:30" died. And so did "1John 5:7." But, I would still like your feedback, regardless. Hope to see you soon, all. |
"He is Risen" Since: Jun 09 487 |
OK, I am with you so far
I do agree that the man in Revelation 13:18 is speaking of humanity, mankind.
OK, and I agree that the measurement used is one that is (will be) simple for us to understand, and is ((will be) familiar to us. I am in 100% agreement that the mark of the beast is the corresponding mark to the seal that the people of God people will receive. Revelation 7:2-3 tells us,And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God; and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our God on their foreheads. This is where we may differ, I do believe there will be a literal mark, both of Gods children and those who choose to worship the beast. I do agree that the forehead and right hand symbolize deeds and thoughts, adding that the right hand also symbolizes strength and authority, Isaiah 62:8,The Lord has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm, ... I would say that the mission and desire of the beast is to destroy God and His people. Revelation 13:9-10 tells us,If anyone has an ear, let him hear. If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints. I believe this is directed towards the true believers, and it is apparent that the beast will kill a number of Gods people, and I have no problem believing it could be two thirds of Gods saints remaining upon the earth at that time. I will have to continue to think about this . Just a bit of information, I had read one time that 666 was not six hundred, sixty-six, rather it was 6 to the 6th power to the 6th power . Keep the faith Brother |
"He is Risen" Since: Jun 09 487 |
Hi LTT, What do you mean by "the mark won't affect"? It is my belief that all countries will be affected. Revelation 13:16 is very clear, "And he causes ALL (my emphasis), the small and the great, and the rich and the poor and the free and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead". The point I am making is John tells us "all". Good to hear from you again. |
"Become Love!" Since: Jan 09 11,503 Nowhere/Now here |
Greetings, salutations, and shalowm, dear Brother. Firstly, and to me personally, I can't see any reason to believe that a literal, visible "mark," nor a literal, visible "seal," should be expected, as if we'll be branded, literally. I do know that many people have come to think this, based on the belief that the mark (Heb. "oth"; Definition: "sign") on Cain was a literal, visible mark. This "mark of Cain," though, is revealed to us in the written account. As we examine what this "mark" truly was, we see that this mark was a declaration and not some alleged stamp. "Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold," was the "sign" between Cain and the most High. Genesis 4:15 Now, we find this same term and definition found in another verse, and one that I believe reveals to us the actual "seal" and "mark" mentioned in the book we call "Revelation." Exodus 31:13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign (Heb. "oth") between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. Now, if we can recall, 2Timothy 2:19 states, "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity." So, as I believe, a perfect example of this "mark" on the hands and foreheads of unbelievers can be found at Amos 8:5-6. Israel said, "When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?" But, the most High promised, "If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it (Isa 58:13-14)." Then, it's prophesied, "And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD (Isa 66:23)." In conclusion, I believe the "mark" is Sunday-observance, while the "seal," all in all, is the recognition of the true Sabbath. None, then, would be literal, visible brands, as if they were tattoos, but the hand and forehead will reveal which has the mark and which, the seal. And before I forget, I've never heard such a calculation regarding the infamous "number of the beast." I'll definitely have to look into that. Thank you, Brother Halycon, for your time and consideration. Shalowm. |

@ LISSEN TA THIS and HOLY LAND
First, I apologize for making you two share a window. It's easier this way, for me, though, because I'm the last surviving internet-user in existence that still depends on a "dial-up" connection. Again, I'm sorry. Anyway... It's good to "see" you, my dear Sister, Listen T-- er, I mean, Lissen Ta This. Halycon answered your question already, and I'm in total agreement with him. Not one citizen on this planet Earth will be exempt from the offer of salvation, nor the temptation to worship self. I'm sure you already knew that, though, and there's nothing wrong with seeking alternative meanings and understandings, or even just desiring to know what others believe. Until next time, Sister Lissen Ta This. Good to see you, Holy Land. So you know, all that alleged "drama" that Native keeps mentioning from time to time, that happened between my wife and I? This was the thread she was referring to. The posts no longer exist, but if memory serves me correctly, this "drama" began somewhere around pages 4 and 5. I say this so that you can see the dates on those pages. It's then that she's claimed was "current." It's good to "see" you here anyway, Holy Land. Thank you, Lissen Ta This. If you'll notice, I left links to the other threads I began. Check out, if nothing else, the first post from each thread and share with me your thoughts. |
"He Was BORN to DIE" Since: Nov 08 2,159 This World Is Not My Home |
I wasn't on topix when that happened, at least not this forum anymore. I just heard about it, that she tried to cause you problems. Well, my dear, we've had enough long talks, and your wife quite approved, that you do not have to defend your integrity to me. We may not agree on all our beliefs, but as far as you as a person, there is not a question in my mind. That's why I love you as my friend and brother. Speaking of calls, I never did get that one since we hooked up again here this year. LTT and I have just become friends on another forum, where Ken is now the bullseye. He needed the diversion, as you know what happened to that other thread we were on. Thanks for helping out on the Trinity thread. I can't post everywhere, and some of those posts are so long. I did answer the JW questions with more questions. He missed it. BTW, don't get me going on Native. LOLOL. Until we cross paths again, my dear friend, much love and blessings! |
"Become Love!" Since: Jan 09 11,503 Nowhere/Now here |
Judged: 1 Not to get all into it, but yeah. Apparently, she got offended because I thought she was always angry, with the whole "I must capitalize half my post" thing. She retaliated by telling me that I should concern myself with the issues I have at home, with my wife. I was shocked, but blahblahblah. That's whatever, now. Anyway... Why, thank you so much, Holy Land. I feel the same about you, too. That's because I'm a jerk! LOL! No, really. My work schedule has me all jacked up. And honestly, I think about calling you (and others), but I never get around to it. I'm going to have to dedicate a day to making all the calls I've been meaning to make. And you'll be top priority! Lissen Ta This is a wonderful person to know. If memory serves me correctly, we met shortly after I started visiting Topix (which was, actually, in July of 2008). I haven't really spoken with her since, maybe, January of 2010. It's been a while. In this thread, it was her, Halycon, Kensey, and myself, mainly. When is I seeJesus NOT the bulls-eye? I really hate to say it, but sometimes, he brings the opposition on himself, and not for righteousness' sake. Yeah. Poor, poor thread. Another one bites the dust, I guess. hehe Not a problem, Holy Land. You know I got your back. And I think CMWYW (is that it?) did answer you. I remember their mentioning something about your answering them with questions. I could be wrong. Check it out. I won't (I hope). I just thought you'd like to know where she was referring to. And may the shalowm of our 'Elohiym remain within you. |

Titan Books, h/b, £12.99
Reviewed by Rebekah Lunt
Are you looking for a book that is easy and enjoyable to read? A book that's cheesy, funny, yet catches you out with surprising depth and emotion? Do you love Richard Castle? Then Reader, this is the book for you!
Frozen Heat is the 4th novel based in the crime-fighting world of Nikki Heat, who is partnered with journalist Jamieson Rook… sound familiar? The previous three have been rough and tumble, quirky and engaging crime thrillers, which have also set up Heat and Rook's world, supporting characters, and the basis of their, 'will they, won't they, FINALLY they got it together!!!' relationship… again, are you sensing a theme?
Anyhoo, you may come to this book hoping to enjoy all the cosiness of new-found romance… if so, really? Surely you know that's not how it works?! Inevitably we get to bask in mere moments of contentment and pay-off for the numerous twists and turns we endured getting here, before of course, Heat's work becomes centre stage again.
The plot for the crime that kicks off the mystery this time has just the right amount of suspense, gruesome detail, and tantalising connections to Heat's past to keep you engaged. Indeed, one of the reasons to keep coming back and enduring the torturous meandering of relationships in these books is the overall connecting arc of Heat's mother's murder, and in the current story you get so many pay-offs from previous threads as well as opening up further strands of enquiry so that now, we're not just focused on the murder of Nikki's mother, but her life too.
The plots and side-stories for these books are always well thought out and structured, although yes, there is cheese; but there are moments that really catch you and are emotive on a level you don't expect from this type of book. There's a particular moment around the end of the text where Nikki finds something – and no, I'm not saying more than that because I don't want to spoil the build-up for you – that really touched me and came across beautifully. Funnily enough, I read that bit around the same time as I got something stuck in my eye… at least that's the excuse I gave the cat…
OK, yes, I'm a softy and a real sucker for a heartfelt moment amidst the thrills and mystery, but in my defence I do feel it's done extremely well here. It has the same great balance that the show has (you know the one), and in a lot of ways it feels like you read through at least half a series worth of content.
Overall I love these books – I was going to say they're my guilty pleasure, but that wouldn't be true – I just love them! Get hold of them and enjoy.

Investors Buy Long-Islander Newspaper
The Long-Islander newspaper, founded in 1838 by poet Walt Whitman, has been sold to a group of Huntington investors.
On its website, the newspaper said a group headed by James V. Kelly, of Huntington, CEO of JVKellyGroup, Inc., had acquired the paper, which also publishes the Half Hollow Hills Newspaper and The Record newspaper.
Back in January, a Washington, D.C.-based investment company had agreed to buy the paper, but the deal had fallen through.
Michael Schenkler, a Port Washington North trustee, had served as publisher. He is listed as publisher and editor in chief of Queens Tribune.
Restaurant News
The North Shore restaurant landscape is changing once again. La Pace with Chef Michael, a beloved Glen Cove restaurant, closed after 30 years.
Its shuttering comes on the heels of the closing of Canterbury Ales, a mainstay of Huntington village for more than 36 years. Owner Billy Heist said he closed the restaurant in part because of the economic slowdown.
But you can still get a bottle of red and a bottle of white at Syosset-based Christiano's for the time being. New owners recently announced they are postponing plans to close the iconic Italian joint made famous in Billy Joel's "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant."
"As of now it's staying as Christiano's," said Manager Amy Sierra.
School News
All eyes were in Syosset this week. The school district named Dr. Ronald L. Friedman, a former Great Neck educator as its interim superintendent.
He takes over for the retiring superintendent, Dr. Carole Hankin, whose salary of more than $400,000 brought both criticism and support.
Meanwhile, the district selected the executive search firm of Hazard, Young, Attea and Associates to assist with its search for a permanent superintendent.
Douglaston Gets Greener
An overgrown trail in Douglaston now offers scenic views to Little Neck Bay.
The bay had been littered with overgrown brush, illegal dumping and debris from people who congregated in the area, according to Tom Pinto, president of the Doug-Bay Manor Civic Association.
"Now, it's a nice little trail to the waterfront," he said.

I would like to finally announce to the world that after 2 years and 2 months and many tantrums I busted out 3 muscle ups last night! You have no idea what a relief it is to have done that!
That's fantastic!! Well done Bernie!!
Congrats Bernie!! Thats awesome
SHOT Bernie!
Awesome Bernie
That is frikkin awesome Bernie and well deserved. Gutted I wasn't there to witness it but there'll be heaps more where that came from.
Good on ya Bernie!!
Good on ya Bernie! High Five!!
PS Speaking of muscle ups, has anyone else noticed Dave on the rings in the background on today's image?! – So close… wonder if he pulled it off?!
I think everyone is looking at the 60kg squat snatch… otherwise known as Amanda Rxd!
And of course no one is thinking knees out, feet closer together and more weight needed thru the heels!
I doubt Bernie was screaming MTL. Knowing Bernie she would have come down from the rings and in her usual quiet humble voice so no one could hear "I think I just got my first muscle up". Well, that's another goat ticked off. What's next????
Yeahhooooo!!! Way to go Bernie!!! Not just one, but three!!! FANTASTIC!!!!!
Nice Burnie! Smoked it!
Awesome! Will probably take me 5 well done!
You are absolutely right Deb. That is pretty much how it went. Garth and Dayelle witnessed the end of it and were gutted they didn't see the whole thing. But I had to do a couple more and it was verified by the both of them! Whoop! Whoop!
What's next?… I guess to re-cycle muscle ups, but I really want to work on my olympic lifting! Not to mention handstand push ups, chest to bar pull ups…….and the list goes on! Haha!
Shott Bernie!!! been a long time coming!! saw it out of the corner of my eye ha i really dont think anything can stop you now…. wow thats scary
Yep we saw it Bernie… awesome effort mate! what a legend!

Not governess
Written by Cheryl
(10/24/2005 2:12 p.m.)
in consequence of the missive, If Only Anne Were More Worldly, penned by James S.
] MS is Anne's former governess, and Anne has not seen her in years. And Anne spouts off like this? Mrs Smith is not Anne's former governess - Anne became reacquainted with her through her old governess: "She had called on her former governess, and had heard from her of there being an old school-fellow in Bath, who had the two strong claims on her attention of past kindness and present suffering. Miss Hamilton, now Mrs. Smith,..." (ch 17) I think Anne is getting fed up and frustrated with the assumption that she is going to marry Mr Elliot. Lady Russell has been going on about it, rumors had reached Captain Wentworth (his friends in Molland's talked about it) so they may have reached her ears as well. And the previous night, she has just worked out that Frederick still loves her, but is jealous of Mr Elliot: "How was the truth to reach him? How ... would he ever learn her real sentiments? It was misery to think of Mr. Elliot's attentions. Their evil was incalculable." (ch 20) And now the very next morning, she is again greeted with congratulations on her upcoming marriage to Mr Elliot. The truth will certainly never reach Frederick's ears at this rate. I don't blame Anne at all for losing her cool for a minute, which was born purely out of frustration. |

As we here at the Sioux Falls School District gear up for the first day of school, we were reminded by Dr. Homan Wednesday morning exactly who we are, who we serve, and the community partnerships which make our success possible.
 Some facts and figures about us:
 Our enrollment continues to climb. Last year we grew by more than 500 students and our preliminary estimates show that we can expect 400-500 more again this year. A familiar phrase in the District is "This is a good problem to have." We are pleased and excited to be a part of a growing, thriving community and to be entrusted with the education of our world's most precious resource.
 We'll have an even better idea about our growing ethnic diversity at the end of September with our official enrollment count, but last year, 74% of our students were white and 26% of our students were not. More than 1,800 of our students natively speak a language other than English and are English Language Learners (ELL). Our students speak more than 51 different languages and that number does not include the varying dialects of those languages. Our expanding diversity brings priceless social awareness, unique perspectives and exciting educational opportunities to the classroom.
 Our special education population alone is larger than all but five entire school districts in this state. Each day, our staff helps and guides 3,197 students with disabilities overcome all manner of obstacles in order to reach their educational goals.
 Our nearly 1,200 expected preschool students will be getting a jump start to their education this year. The groundwork is being laid for success in the coming years by exploring reading, math, and developing the social skills that will make kindergarten, and the years beyond, more successful.
 We have our work cut out for us. The children we serve continue to face economic challenges at home. Nearly 47% of our elementary students qualify for free or reduced lunch rates, a number which continues to grow.
 That being said, our students also continue to surpass expectations. Our ACT scores and number of successful Advanced Placement test scores continue to outshine the state and national averages, and we exceed the yearly requirements laid out by the state regarding No Child Left Behind.Â
 Our 2,800+ staff members are already back in the buildings, preparing for nearly 23,000 students to join them Monday morning.
 We are dedicated and committed to educating and preparing each student to succeed in this changing world. Let's have a fantastic year!

War Memorial Gardens, Dublin 8
The War Memorial was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens as a garden of simple dignity commemorating the 49,000 Irish Soldiers who died in the First World War.
The Irish National War Memorial Gardens is an Irish war memorial in Inchicore, Dublin dedicated to the memory of the 49,400 Irish soldiers who gave their lives in the Great War, 1914-1918 out of over 300,000 Irishmen who served in all armies.
The Memorial Gardens also commemorate all other Irish men and women who at that time served, fought and died in Irish regiments of the Allied armies, the British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, South African and United States armies in support of the Triple Entente's war effort against the Central Powers.
At either end are two pairs of Bookrooms in granite, which hold the names of those who died in World War I.
The Irish National War Memorial Gardens are now managed by Dúchas, The Heritage Service of the Department of Environment, Heritage & Local Government in conjunction with the National War Memorial Committee.
A further Great War Irish national memorial, taking the form of an All-Ireland journey of conciliation, was opened in 1998 at the Island of Ireland Peace Park, Messines, Flanders, Belgium.
Those who died in the Easter Rising which ran concurrently with the First World War, and the Irish War of Independence, are commemorated in the Gardens of Remembrance on Parnell Square, Dublin.

Posted on 10/23/2004 8:36:13 PM PDT by jmstein7
We're for Walter Mondale, even though Ronald Reagan has in some ways done a good job. America, the President says with permissible hyperbole, is back and he deserves credit because the country feels so much better than it did four years ago. Mr. Reagan has a gift for symbolism and salesmanship; when he salutes the flag and the troops, he embodies a wide renewal of pride in country.
And there's more to it than just the persuasions of a patriotic pitchman. People feel better off because many people are better off. The oil shocks and hyper-inflation of the 1970's have been calmed. Unemployment, after soaring for months, has fallen back to the 1980 level. Real income is up.
So why not re-elect the President? For three reasons. First, because of the way he has paid for our recovery, and his popularity: with the pain of millions of people thrown out of work in the last four years and with the hundreds of billions of dollars Government must borrow in the next four.
Second, because much of the rest of his domestic program is repugnant. Mr. Reagan has punished the poor and retreated from civil rights. He has, laudably, continued the deregulation begun by Jimmy Carter. But the same President who vows to get Government off people's backs has recklessly pushed its nose into the most private realms of religion and family life.
Finally, and most important, because Mr. Reagan's diplomacy, mostly ineffective, has also been dangerous. Not only has he failed to stabilize the nuclear arms race but he has propelled it to new heights and lacks any plausible strategy for regaining control.
Walter Mondale has flaws. Until recent days, he so lacked fire as a campaigner that people called him ''Norwegian wood.'' He has lacked a theme; at times, it seemed to be merely that he's Not Reagan. He is heavily indebted to labor and interest groups.
His running mate is not as ready to be President as is George Bush. Choosing Geraldine Ferraro as the first woman on a national ticket unleashed a welcome wave of energy. But it has also brought a backwash of troubling questions about her husband's dealings and associates.
Now consider Mr. Mondale's strengths. His election would mean franker, fairer decisions on the hard economic choices that the President has concealed during the campaign. Mr. Mondale would offer an enlightened and humane conception of what Government should, and should not, do. Most of all, he would bring to the White House the will to control nuclear weapons.
So give Ronald Reagan due credit for what he has done, 1981 to 1984. The decision now should turn on who offers brighter promise for 1985 to 1988. In all three Presidential categories, our choice is Walter Mondale. More Arms, Less Control
What President Reagan has pursued abroad is not a strategy but an unattainable slogan - ''superiority.'' He has thrown dollars at Defense without curbing military appetites for fancy, fragile technology. He has failed to harness either diplomacy or economic power to the quest for security.
Recall how much energy was wasted just to undo the damage of his first year's quarrels with China, Israel and the European allies. In the Middle East, he remains mostly at the mercy of events. In Central America, he awaits at best the diplomacy of others to shape his ''no-lose'' military exertions.
By pressing ahead with a ''Star Wars'' missile defense, Mr. Reagan is forcing the arms race into outer space. Yet most scientists think it can't possibly be practical till far into the 21st century. Committing to more than modest research is incredibly wasteful, as if President Wilson had vowed in 1919 to put a man in space.
Because of his lifelong opposition to arms control, Mr. Reagan might have driven good bargains with the Russians. Yet unlike every other President of the nuclear era, he lacks the conviction and dedicated personnel to achieve agreement, or even a good plan for achieving it.
True, it takes two to negotiate and the Kremlin has had three leaders in four years. But Mr. Reagan, balking at past agreements, offered none of them any plausible new approach. Though he may finally be ready, as he says, to pursue accord, he has, perhaps even unwittingly, ordered up weapons and appointed officials that obstruct the way.
Walter Mondale believes in a sturdy defense. He also stands in the middle of the bipartisan community that long ago learned to abandon the fruitless quest for nuclear superiority. In this election, he represents all those Republicans and Democrats determined to tame the nuclear threat.
Lawyer Mondale offers pragmatic skill at making the best of reality. Ideologue Reagan offers the same tenacity that has brought him out diplomatically empty-handed. Who is likely to do better in arms negotiations in the next term, Walter Mondale or the President who tickles the religious right by reviling the Soviet Union as an Evil Empire? Off People's Backs, Into Their Beliefs
To Henry Steele Commager, the historian, the 1983 speech in which Mr. Reagan described the Russians in that way was ''the worst Presidential speech in American history, and I've read them all'' - not because it was undiplomatic but because ''No other Presidential speech has ever so flagrantly allied the government with religion. There was a gross appeal to religious prejudice.''
In such ways, Mr. Reagan readily turns himself from a conservative libertarian into a statist. He perversely condemns as ''intolerant'' anyone who opposes organized school prayers. He continues to flog at abortion though it is barely a Federal, let alone a Presidential, concern.
Lately, Reagan Republicans have called this a matter of civil rights - of the unborn fetus. Would that their President were so attentive to the minority millions whom the civil rights laws were designed to protect. Not until the Congressional momentum was unstoppable could Mr. Reagan finally bring himself to support even the 1982 bill renewing voting rights.
There is every reason, therefore, to worry about potential Reagan appointments to the Supreme Court. Since five of its Justices are 75 or older, the President elected this year is likely to leave a deep imprint. The last Roosevelt appointee to leave the Court, William O. Douglas, did so in 1975, 30 years after F.D.R.'s death.
President Reagan deserves credit for fastening the nation's attention on the need to restrain social spending. That fostered bipartisan collaboration on Social Security costs and commendable innovation in containing Medicare. But where has the Administration concentrated its budget cutting? Not on swollen middle-class entitlements but on the famous social safety net for the poor. For example, one Federal judge after another has had to order the Administration to restore disability benefits to thousands of helpless people thrown out of the safety net.
As for the environment, Mr. Reagan was too long content to let his record be written by James Watt and Anne Burford and other zealots who sabotaged or flouted the laws to protect air, water and human health.
Walter Mondale, son of a stern Minnesota minister, knows it is important for both church and state to maintain a respectful distance. He has stood for civil rights and liberties from his earliest days in politics. He has championed individual and human rights, the right to a lawyer or the right to be left alone by government. His interest in family addresses the public policy issue of day care, not the personal torment of abortion. Feeling Fine, On Borrowed Money
In a 1981 impression of the President, Rich Little, the comedian, explained Reaganomics. ''Let's suppose your mom baked a big blueberry pie,'' he said. The top half is for defense spending, the bottom half is for domestic programs - ''and the other half is for the national debt.''
At the time, it sounded merely comic. The President was denouncing deficit spending at every turn. Why, he said, the national debt was equivalent to ''a stack of $1,000 bills 67 miles high.'' But since then, even while calling for a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, he's raised the stack another 40 miles.
The huge Reagan deficits weigh heavily on the economies of other nations. They divert capital away from poor countries, making development that much harder, and they put the United States in hock to the world. There's no reason to expect that in the next four years Mr. Reagan will keep the budget-balancing promise he's broken so dramatically in the last four.
Walter Mondale comes from the party that invented deficit spending but there is reason to think he would do better. It may have been a bravely candid act, or perhaps politically foolhardy, but he began his campaign in San Francisco in July by declaring that he would, among other things, raise taxes to reduce the deficit.
Unless most economists are crazy, the country can't keep borrowing $200 billion a year. Everyone knows that spending cuts can't suffice. Everyone knows a tax increase is well-nigh inevitable. For all his feigned horror, Mr. Reagan knows it, too. The question is not whether there'll be a tax increase but whether the burden will be distributed fairly. On the evidence of his first term, Mr. Reagan will soak the poor, favor the rich and throw more money at the Pentagon.
There's another, less tangible standard for judging candidates for President: theatrical skill, the capacity to inspire. The hecklers who chant, ''Reagan, Reagan, he's no good / Send him back to Hollywood'' are missing a crucial point. Salesmanship is a precious Presidential asset and Mr. Reagan has it. He's the master salesman, the Music Man, of American politics.
Walter Mondale has all the dramatic flair of a trigonometry teacher. His Nordic upbringing makes it hard for him to brag. The first debate may have been the high point of his political personality. But there's power in his plainness.
Precisely by not dramatizing issues, he has consistently produced consensus and agreement, as a Senator and as Jimmy Carter's Vice President. And for all the talk about his vacillation, Mr. Mondale has grit. When knocked down, he does not blame his staff or his opponent's makeup. He gets up and starts swinging again.
Chances are that come Nov. 6, he'll keep on doing the same, win or lose. As the man most likely to reduce the deficit, to spread burdens fairly and to control nuclear weapons, Walter Mondale deserves to win.
Back in 1984 the AFL-CIO endorsed Mondale before he even had his nomination sewed up. It was really embarrassing for them when more of their members voted for Reagan than for Mondale.
This reminds me of when Michael Moore endorsed Howard Dean in the primaries.
The NYT's mantra: Never admit your wrong, just move on to the next trendy liberal cause.
Ol' Sulzberger and his boys sure can pick 'em.
"Now consider Mr. Mondale's strengths."
They could've ended the article there :)
Does the left ever go back to look at its failed pronouncements and say "what the hell were we thinking?"
Probably not. Because then they wouldn't still be on the left.
Of the Howard Zinn school of "history".
"Walter Mondale has flaws..."
Typical NYSlimes understatement. In Modale's campaign, the big economic bugaboo was "American jobs being exported overseas." and "How will we replace all those good highpaying manufacturing jobs?"
Twenty years ago, and it seems like only yesterday ...Oh, wait, it WAS yesterday--My Little Pony ranting in Canton Ohio!
To Henry Steele Commager, the historian, the 1983 speech in which Mr. Reagan described the Russians in that way was ''the worst Presidential speech in American history, and I've read them all'' - not because it was undiplomatic but because ''No other Presidential speech has ever so flagrantly allied the government with religion. There was a gross appeal to religious prejudice.''
Imagine if Reagan went to...Berlin.... or somewhere like that and demanded that the Berlin Wall be torn down? I bet that would be the second worst speech in history...
Good stuff. Thanks for the laughs.
Wow. Is anyone else just thunderstruck at how COMPLETELY wrong the Times endorsement was. I mean, not so much wrong in it's opinion, as much as it is, but how it is on the exact opposite side of how history ultimately ocurred!
This is a sterling example that demonstrates how liberals are utterly and willingly blinded by their religion.
They simply do not care who is running. All that matters to them is who has the R or the D after their name. It's pretty much that simple.
Great read. Really great to see how completely off the mark they were then and are now.
Wow, what a read. The best slam on the Times, apparently, is reading just how wrong they've proven to be over and over and over.
>>when Michael Moore endorsed Howard Dean in the primaries.
he also endorsed Weasel-ly Clark after awhile. And didn't he endorse Nader in '00? We know how Nader played the spoiler and may have helped to elect W in places like
NH and Florida. That's right, liberals--big fat Mike
helped elect W! Hoo ha!
Last GOP candidate for prez endorsed by the NYT?
Dwight Eisenhower, LOL!
I'd love to read the McGovern endorsement!
RR bump
What is this fixation the Democrats have with wood?
I remember C-Span replaying Mondale's nomination speech from his 1984 convention. It could not have been scripted to be more wrong about eventual events. EVERY SINGLE ISSUE. The USSR/foreign policy segment was a particular howler.
You brought a smile to me this morning.
The similarities to today are amazing. I hope we have similar results!
The New York Times is the anti-American rag of choice.
Our enemies are emboldened by it, because they think it represents the Voice of America.
Instead, the NYT is the Voice of Treason.
Why on earth does any American read or quote such trash?
"Walter Mondale has flaws. Until recent days, he so lacked fire as a campaigner that people called him ''Norwegian wood.'' He has lacked a theme; at times, it seemed to be merely that he's Not Reagan."
At the gym yesterday, there was a lady with a Kerry button. I went over and asked her seriously if she was for Kerry or against Bush. She rolled her eyes and said that she could not support the "Texas Rodeo Clown". I asked her again if she was really supporting Kerry. She said no and that she had liked Clark in the primaries and she thought that Kerry was arrogant. I also asked her what made Kerry better than Bush. She said that Kerry was not Bush. I proceeded to tell her that was a very irresponsible manner to vote and to support someone that we know nothing about except that he has been on every side of an issue. That is not an effective leader.
Honestly, I am not 100% happy with the President's choices, but I respect that he made some unpopular choices and he is not all over the map with them. He made them, he takes responsibility for them and he fully funds the troops that he has committed. Kerry seems to be another Clinton like that what ever choice he ends up making, he takes a poll, commits, takes another poll and then switches his mind. Sorry, this is not a democracy and not every, Tom, Dick and Harrietta gets to voice their opinion on every issue.
We elect a strong leader to make tough choices and we voice or support/disapproval, but that leader needs to follow up with his/her choices. For this reason, although I disagree with him on steel tariffs, amensty, Iraq, expansion of government, and a slew of other issues, President Bush has gained my support. Individuals that are voting third party are effectively casting votes for Waffle Man, AKA Lurch. Please reconsider and vote for the President if you live in a swing state...we need every vote for a solid leader.

Visit to HSR
Yesterday I visited the HSR (University of Applied Sciences in Rapperswil) and looked into the Computer Science laboratories.
I can surely say that my expectations were met and I liked what I saw. There are two departments in the Computer Science studies:
- Software Engineering
- Computer Networks
Since I am not really a programmer myself, the Computer Networks department was more interesting for me. The HSR provides their students with the possibility to learn on Cisco network environment and also get the CCNA certificate while studying. The professors seem to have a sympathetic style and attitude. Also, the campus is located next to the lake Zurich, embedded in mountains. There is also the possibility to study 60% percent of the week and also work 40%.
However, all these points fail to convince me to study at the HSR. Mainly because it is located in Zurich, which is on the other side of the country. Well – and I like to be around Bern and there are not enough reasons to move to Zurich.
In Bern, the BFH also offers studies in Information Technology, although in different departments such as IT Security and Web and Business Applications. Since I am interested in database concepts and the related fields, this might be the better choice.
