You've all heard the claim that we aren't really atheists, we are just mad at god. (Or you will see such things as "so and so claims to be an atheist.")
Today, though I saw an argument in chat with a theist, and someone else's account of an argument they had out in public, and I stopped to wonder if maybe we aren't sometimes encouraging this line of bullshit, albeit unwittingly.
What happened in both cases was the atheist began recounting all the sorts of horrible things Yahweh is portrayed as doing or believing or commanding. In one case, I saw the atheist say "why should I love god when he won't love me back?"
The problem with this sort of thing is we usually don't take care to phrase our remarks to make it clear that god is a character of fiction. When discussing the misdeeds of Yahweh we tend to fall back on a convention we use when we talk about a fictional character in a book. We refer to him by name and talk as if the guy was real and the book was not fiction, for example, "In George Orwell's 1984, Winston Smith was arrested for thoughtcrime," not, "In George Orwell's 1984, the character Winston Smith..."
We know what we mean, because we both know Winston Smith (or god) is fictitious. But they don't know god is fictitious.
Talking this way with someone who believes the fictional character is real might cause him not to understand you are just following the convention. Your phrasing sounds to him like you accept god as real, he "knows" god is real, so he assumes at some level you think god is real.
What I am suggesting here is that you ever want to bring up how nasty this being is, you make it clear that you don't think he exists, make sure you put "fictitious" (or equivalent) in every other sentence at least, and not let them think for a minute that you assume the existence of god.
Yes I know that when you just said you were an atheist this shouldn't be necessary, but obviously many of these people don't understand atheism in their guts, so don't let their paradigm default you into a "believer but mad at god" box.
It would be very difficult for an atheist to be mad at God. An atheist, by definition, does not think that any God or Gods have ever existed. Thus there is nothing to be angry at.
To you and me that's exceedingly obvious, I almost wrote "well, duh" here. (Wait, I just did.) That's not my point, nor was I trying to claim otherwise.
But there are many theists who can't imagine there actually is such a thing as a genuine atheist. They might even say "I don't believe in atheism" which will confuse us because atheism is the lack of a belief; there's nothing to believe in, as an atheist. But what they are actually saying here is they don't believe anyone can actually be an atheist; they don't believe atheism as a school of thought, really exists.
Samantha, you made me think again! How about something like this to make them pause and listen for more:
"No way. Hey, I'm not angry at Santa Clause any more, either!"
Once, in a conversation with my sinister-in-law, she exclaimed "I don't even think it's possible to really not believe in god!"
Exactly. How long did it take for her to finally accept that you might, actually, in fact, really, sincerely, not believe in god? I don't know her, but I wouldn't be surprised if the answer was "she still doesn't."
I wonder what her response to your comeback about Zeus and Athena was. Did she ever really get it?
Firstly, great article!
Secondly, I, too am guilty of this in some ways. Theists tend to try to be tricky with wording in arguments.
Because of that i have taken to say "Your deity <enter rest of sentence here>"
Not only does it imply that it is not mine, it also reminds them that their deity is not the only one around. If you really want to get the point across, use "Your supposed Deity"
It is also good to know what their understanding of Atheism is, if they have, as is often the case, attached a whole wagonload of preconceptions about lacking morality and chance based senseless life to it, then you might as well either stop the discussion or explain the meaning of atheist first.
They will understand that you definately do not believe in a personal god, or any god for that matter but also that while God equals morality for them, atheism only declares before mentioned absence of believe in a higher power.
I think that is important as i have sometimes come across the argument that i am angry because i know that my devious and unholy lifestyle (i unfortunately do not have any of that) angers god and as such i try to besmirch his name in anticipation of the judgement that will surely come to me.
Very, very bizarre train of thought.
I just returned from North Carolina where I told my 34-Y-O niece that I was an atheist and when I returned to Texas I was informed that I "upset her". That's part of the problem, believers, and I had no idea she was an "active" member of her, or any church, all take it personally and don't of won't see that I am not trying to influence them to toss it over, I just want to make it clear it's non-productive to hit on me for their invisible friend in the sky. One would think a 34-Y-O would not be so damn upset, especially when I was not aware of her conversion; oh-well.
That's another point, what makes the so bloody certain he, she, or it is up there? Why not over there or down there; oops, "down" is the residence of satan, another myth exactly like the one they worship, strange.
No, I just do not like the idea of god. It's kind of like saying "Omg, you don't believe in Zeus! You're definitely mad at him!"
I personally don't like the character of Zeus in the old Greek mythologies. He was a bit too much of a womanizer for me.
That doesn't mean I believe in him, though.
Steve's premise here is sound, and while Jens Schwaiger's response of "Your supposed deity" isn't unreasonable, I am concerned that undertaking more labor in a debate may also be counterproductive. If and when we atheists allude to what we have concluded is a fictional character, then it isn't expecting too much to assume that reasonable people are aware of our implication. I don't know ANY theist who, after I said "Atticus Finch is amazing in that story" asked me "So you do think he's real! What do you think he's up to now?"
If we start taking this too far, like getting upset when some says "Oh my god" upon seeing a car crash, then we're closing even further the door that leads to honest, open discussion, for we are trying to quell language and expression. Fiction is parable, and yes there are those who take it literally, but there are plenty who do not. We should do nothing less than to set the highest standard for intellectual debate, and while this obviously involves clarity and a conscious rejection of political correctness, it does not preclude poetical expression. If there are those who simply cannot conceive of our conclusion, so what? An individual who does this can be dismissed with impunity, as he/she has firstly done to you. Shrug them off, and move on to theistic individuals who want to have a REAL discussion.
And yes, there are plenty of those. Not all theists are stupid, mindless, exorcising, snake-handling, book-burning, clinic-bombing, terroristic nutjobs. In fact, the majority of them are not. They deserve our initial assumption of respect until they've proven unworthy by the aforementioned practices. And respectable people aren't those you tip-toe around and refuse to "offer any arguments" as John Cook so wrongly suggests. The majority of theists are NOT mentally ill. They've simply drawn an opposing metaphysical conclusion. Dismissing them as mentally impaired is an attempt to evade the debate altogether. They're human beings capable of advanced cognition, just like us atheists. If we lower our own standards, then it's US that appear weak.

I don't know ANY theist who, after I said "Atticus Finch is amazing in that story" asked me "So you do think he's real! What do you think he's up to now?"
The difference is that the theist doesn't believe Atticus Finch is real, and therefore won't be tempted to think that you believe Finch is real.
Some theists have real difficulty wrapping their minds around the thought that someone might actually not believe god exists. How many times have you seen or heard one say "Joe Blow claims to be an atheist?" They are assuming there that Joe's problem isn't actual atheism but willful denial of an "obvious" truth that Joe fact really believes in--as if Joe were to verbally deny that there was such a thing as sex even though he just bragged about boffing his girlfriend last night. You could rightfully claim that Joe was only claiming to be a-sexist. And thus, this theist thinks they are right to claim there really is no such thing as a genuine atheist. This sort of theist has difficulty imagining the atheist point of view--much less agreeing with it!
This person's first problem isn't that they are theists, it's that they can't imagine anything but theism. So why make it easier for them to continue thinking there is no such thing as sincere atheism?
It's true that some theists don't have this problem; they do understand what atheism is but just don't agree with it. It's safe in that case to use the hypothetical mode when talking about god. But unless you know the person really well, you can't know that, and frankly I don't think one can know this about some particular theist without having had a discussion with them. (It's a bad sign when their response to hearing your declaration is something like "surely you don't really believe that.") If they show signs of denying that you could possibly really be an atheist and are just saying so to be outrageous or something, don't give them any possible reason to latch on to it. Expecting them to assume you are talking about god in a hypothetical mode is asking too much of someone who can't imagine sincere disbelief.
The majority of theists are NOT mentally ill. They've simply drawn an opposing metaphysical conclusion. Dismissing them as mentally impaired is an attempt to evade the debate altogether. They're human beings capable of advanced cognition, just like us atheists. If we lower our own standards, then it's US that appear weak.
Absolutely agreed. We should not tar them all as idiots or nuts. (Even the nuttier ones are often perfectly intelligent, just too wrapped up in their worldview to make any sense to those who don't share it.)
But even a mentally competent individual can fail to think outside of the box--which is in this case their belief that the existence of god is so obvious no one can really deny it. And it doesn't help them break out of the box when your overt phrasing actually is consistent with the inside of their mental box. It comes across to them as you really being in that box with them in spite of your denial; it's easier for them to imagine that than it is to imagine actual thinking outside of the box.
If we start taking this too far, like getting upset when some says "Oh my god" upon seeing a car crash, then we're closing even further the door that leads to honest, open discussion, for we are trying to quell language and expression.
I am not in any way advocating this, I am talking purely about watching what we say when we discuss the god of the bible with a theist. However I must point out that some theists will in fact latch onto a surprised/dismayed "OMG" as an indication that you are really, deep down, a believer--it's what they are trying to get at when they claim there are no atheists in foxholes. It's an occupational hazard we all have to deal with; you may worry about it enough to try to switch to "holy shit" or "fuck a duck" or "what the fuck" but I certainly won't condemn an atheist who says "oh my god" if that's what they grew up saying and it's a "burned in" habit. But he or she does need to realize what might happen if they say it in front of the "wrong" theist.
I am switching to: Oh Your Fictitious God (aka OYFG! for texting purposes).
I don't think atheists need to give religious people any reasons why we don't believe in God till they can prove to us that God actually exists. I used to be mad at Dumbledore for not sending me a letter to join Hogwarts, and yea I would have kept the owl.
In general I agree. (Some conversations have a slightly off-nominal context; perhaps the religious person is curious about your reasoning. Of course one of the reasons should be that they've given insufficient reason!)
The point I'm raising here is to make sure that the religious person you are talking to has less reason to think that deep down you really believe in god.

Beautiful hotel on St. Lucia Beach
Posted Oct 16, 2013Pros: The food and ambiance are wonderful. The people are great and very caring about the comfort of the guests.
Cons: Nothing as far as we're concerned
Location: The location is a bit remote, which is fine with us. We want to be away from crowds. They have plenty of excursions available if that's what you want
This was our fourth visit to this hotel. We go there for the snorkling which is right off the beach. The hotel is luxurious and the beach is perfect. There is no pool, but the Caribbean water is warm and very pleasant. This is not a family oriented hotel - no children under ten years old, but is very romantic for honeymoon couples and couples in general.

Beautiful rooms and grounds. WOW!
Posted Sep 23, 2013This resort is not for everyone, which is what we loved about it! No A/C, lots of stairs to the beach and back to the room, and a feeling of living in the trees are what make this place feel more authentic. You can hear the waves at night with the tree frogs singing you to sleep. The food was excellent and from either the local markets or the resorts own farm. The service was excellent and genuine. We climbed mountains, Jungle Mountain Biked, Ran some excellent technical trails through the plantation on the grounds, snorkeled the reefs just off the beach, sailed, and napped on the black sand beaches. We went into Soufriere town and bought amazing local fruits and vegetables that we snacked on during the day. Although there were some people trying to hustle tourists in town most everyone was very nice and helpful. There are shuttles into and back from town, but we walked the 2 miles and enjoyed some amazing views of the pitons. There were many others there that seemed to be enjoying the all inclusive with excellent cocktails made from the local fruits and rum. The yoga was well done with morning and sunset classes. We got a couples massage that was great! There was hand painted art everywhere you looked! Flowers, plants, mountains, clouds, and stars beautifully placed on walls, columns, and ceilings in the rooms and throughout the resort. Hand carved wood beams, railings, and columns were every where you looked. Amazing! Awesome Honeymoon or vacation for active couples.

Amazing honeymoon
Posted Aug 29, 2013Pros: The rooms were beautiful, the service was outstanding, and we met some amazing people on our stay. We upgraded to Jade Mountain for our last night
Cons: The ear-plugs&sleep mask the hotel provides are key because of the openness of the rooms being in the jungle- gets a tad loud at night with bugs/birds
Location: Best location in St. Lucia. Definitely do the snorkeling and scuba, the Jazzy Cruise (on Thursdays) was the most fun we had all trip, and hike a Piton
My husband and I went on our honeymoon here recently and had the best time we've ever had on a vacation. The hotel was beautiful and the staff were so friendly and attentive. Food/ Service: We did the all-inclusive package because it just made sense with the prices of food/drink at the hotels restaurants-- you would probably end up spending way more a day if not on the package unless you took trips to the villages for groceries. We have been to all-inclusive spots before at similar priced hotels and the food at Anse was unbelievable! For a smaller resort, they had a great variety of restaurants, one even including an Indian Caribbean inspired menu that was delicious. The quality of the food was superb. The beach has food/drink service which was amazing. The wait staff was very attentive and became your friends by the end. Beach: There are a lot of stairs (which was expected because of St. Lucia's landscape), but it didn't bother us because it forced us to stay out of our room and enjoy the beautiful beach! The hotel is in an amazing location with views of the Pitons from a lot of the rooms! There is a diving shop on the hotel's beach as well which I suggest taking advantage of because they do short introductions for beginners who are not scuba certified and the reef around the hotel and pitons that the dive sites are at are beautiful! The scuba and snorkeling is the best I've seen. The Jazzy Cruise, paddle boards and kayaks were very fun!

Nice but not fabulous
Posted Aug 26, 2013Pros: The food
Cons: Add AC
Location: Snorkeling, paddle board, yoga and kayaking we're great.
We stayed in a hillside room inAugust 2013. The rooms are hot, there is lit little to no breeze. Room did not look like website pictures. Food and service for dinner were excellent. Snorkeling, beach and water sports were wonderful. Tennis court was in bad shape. The volcano tour was not worth the money and Did not include the mud baths. Resort would have been much nicer if there was AC in the rooms or maybe even a bar. With no place to cool off, the evening were a bit hot. The Putin bar has a great view but sitting and sweating with a cocktail was Not an appealing option.

Nothing to complain about
Posted Aug 18, 2013Pros: Everything, service, food, location, staff
Cons: Keep the good work, we will be back
Location: It is near most of the excursions we wanted to do
Outstanding service, excellent food, attention to details, friendly people with smiling faces. I did not see any staff members in a bad mood. Everyone we encountered (both staff members and locals) were genuinely friendly, considerate, and eager to please. In many ways my husband and I felt not only that we were welcome guests but that everyone we met was glad to share their home with us. I had some restrictions on my diet, but they quickly accommodated my needs. Even when something were not available, they made sure we did not leave disappointed. Their goal was to make us happy. The service was not only efficient but also timely. We never had to wait for anything we asked. We tried almost everything on the menu, and could not find any fault on anything. There was no flaws on the rooms either, they were cleaned twice a day. Many beach activities were readily available, and equipments were in good condition, we were never short of fun. We left the resort only once, but we did not have to. I travel for leaving, and can honestly say that this hotel met my needs in every way. Although everyone did an outstanding job we would also like to specifically thank Agnes, Janice, Abo, and Samantha for going above and beyond what was expected.

Great People but.....
Posted Aug 5, 2013Pros: Staff, beach, service
Cons: More A/C rooms
The staff here is great. Very friendly and accommodating. Felicia is the server to look for. She will make you feel welcomed and special. The beach is great and the Beach Bar is the place for entertainment and a comfortable place to have lunch and dinner. Be aware that the rooms can be warm with little breeze, since they are located down the mountain. We were moving up to Jade Mountain the second day, but still requested an air conditioned room for the one night we stayed there. They readily accommodated us because there was one available. Since they are a "sister" property to Jade Mountain we spent a lot of time at Anse during the day and then retired to our sanctuary at Jade. There were no bugs, so don't worry about that. I think the birds eat them and they do spray a safe material to minimize the population. Don't miss the Sunset Cruise on Thursday night. It was great. They actually had a boat bring out my wife's favorite liquor, when we discovered they had none on board. Now that's service!

Posted Jul 23, 2013We had a wonderful time here. The road from Soufriere to the hotel is in desperate need of repair, but if anything it adds to the sense of seclusion. We loved the food, the cocktails (oh, the cocktails!), the beautiful black sand beach(es) - there are two in close proximity, the included water sports, the lack of television, telephones or air conditioning in the rooms (truly liberating in the 21st century) and perhaps most importantly... the staff. They were so friendly, helpful and attentive. It was a truly memorable and enchanting place.

Best beaches and views of St Lucia
Posted Jul 21, 2013Pros: The location, views, and unique open rooms
Location: Water sports, scuba, snorkeling. Taxis/boats can take you into towns & the capital. We went zipling, rum tasting and to the volcano & mineral springs.
There are 2 beautiful beaches, fun guided hikes, and activities at the resort. The hotel staff were so friendly, accommodating and hospitable. The food was excellent, at every restaurant. We even got a room upgrade at check-in, which was such a lovely surprise. The resort is catered to honeymooners and couples, there is a romantic and relaxed atmosphere.
for Everyoneby Renee from Boston, MA
Great beach location, great staff.
Posted Jul 18, 2013Pros: Beach access, views, Treehouse Restaurant, friendly staff
Cons: Breakfast could be spruced up - perhaps change up some options daily. Superior rooms could use updating to make it more truly 4-star.
Location: Close to town of Soufriere, Diamond Falls, Sulfur Springs, Drive-through volcano, Pitons, good beaches
We stayed in a superior ocean view room for 4 nights as part of our Honeymoom in St. Lucia. The room itself was fairly minimal and on the small side, but the hexagon shape of the room really gave a sense of privacy and maximized the views. Also the veranda surrounding the room was great. The view itself was fantastic. We loved the evening turndown service - it was very romantic! All in all, I would say that the room type and amenities we had (which is the second lowest category) was more like 3-star accommodation with a 5-star view and 4-star service. The highlight of this resort is the beach access. The beach itself was lovely, and probably one of the best on the island. Bear in mind that I would not count St. Lucian beaches as being among the best in the Caribbean. If powdery white sand and clear turquoise waters are a necessity then look to another island (Grenada, Barbados, Antigua, Tobago, etc. etc.). This particular beach has "black sand" due to the volcanos and it tends to be a little pebbly as opposed to powdery in some places, but the water is calm and clear and the palm trees and setting is beautiful. The covered beach chairs and huts are great as well. Another highlight is that the resort has another smaller, more secluded beach just around the corner which is also lovely. In terms of food, we were underwhelmed by Apsara, the Indian restaurant, but impressed with the Treehouse and Emerald's. Staff is genuine, helpful and lovely. Get the meal plan.

Great honeymoon destination
Posted May 28, 2013Pros: The beach - clear water and black sand. The food - AMAZING!
Cons: The cost of drinks were overpriced. We bought a meal package but drinks weren't included so we were stuck overpaying for any drinks we purchased.
Location: The location is remote, perfect for a romantic getaway. It's a 10 minute water taxi ride to the town of Soufriere.
We had an amazing time at Anse Chastanet! The customer service is amazing. The last night we got upgraded to Jade Mountain :) They did everything they could to make our vacation memorable.

TMB/E Ultra Sensitive, Blue, Horseradish Peroxidase Substrate (soluble)
EMD Millipore, a division of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, GermanyDescription
TMB, (3,3',5,5'-tetramethybenzidine) has been shown to be a safe-sensitive substrate for the assay of HRP. Initially, in the presence of HRP and hydrogen peroxide, a one-electron oxidation product is formed. This compound, a cation free radical, is blue in color with an adsorption maximum of 653 nm. Further reaction with HRP/H2O2 or acidification of the radical with acid yields the diimine terminal oxidation product adsorbing light at 450 nm. The extinction coefficient of the radical (E653nm=3.9 x 104 mol-1 cm-1) and diimine (E450nm=5.9 x 104 mol-1 cm-1) provide a remarkably sensitive system for the assay of HRP and HRP labeled probes. ES022 is a single component reagent stable at room temperature and not sensitive to normal laboratory light. It is optimized with respect to TMB and hydrogen peroxide concentrations and yields a linear response with the concentrations of HRP usually employed in immunological assays.

Washington, DC Tuesday, December 18, 2012
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Senate Republican leaders briefed reporters on this week's Senate Agenda and the latest so-called "fiscal cliff" negotiations.
Majority Leader Reid warned that Senators might have to return to session after Christmas to resume work on a deal. On Monday, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) met with President Obama at the White House on a debt reduction agreement. Lawmakers have until the end of the year before the Bush-era tax cuts are set to expire for most Americans, and mandatory domestic and defense spending cuts take effect.

Hey guys, I finally got all the hardware needed to start building my new rig. This will be somewhat a live update log, as I'll be posting as I build up the computer. So, without further adieu, here it begins. All the goodies that I bought. EVGA GTX 670 Maximus V Formula/Thunder FX Core i5 3570k Kingston HyperX Beast DDR3 2133MHz CL11 Corsair Hydro H100i, my first step into watercooling And last but not least, Corsair Graphite 600T SE Thanks for watching! I'll keep updating this.
Alright, let's get on with more updates! Cracked open Getting hardware in Already owned stuff that I'll still be using, from left to right: GTX470, Auzentech X-Fi Forte, LSI MegaRAID 9264-8i Moar hardware in xD That's all for now, I'll be back in a little.
what are your plans for requiring the GTX 470 and GTX 670 together? You do know you can't run them in SLI? nevermind, I see in your system specs now.
Alright, here's another update. This one took quite a while to get up since it's the most tedious part in building a rig... Cable management. Here's the PSU I'll be using, it was a royal pain in the rear to take out of the P190, those who know the innards of that case know what I mean. Partial cable management done. I will need to get some nice braided extensions in order to avoid the bare wires being seen. These will be the hard drives I'll be using now, I had them laying around for a few months but I never got to use them since I was having some serious write speed issues on my previous rig, I hope these work better on this new one, because I suspect, from everything I did to troubleshoot it is down to the chipset of the SII Extreme. Cable management from the front is complete. I can't do any better because of the lack braided extensions. The 12v CPU cable got there REALLY close... Cable management on the back. Quite messy. lol Taking suggestions on braided extensions. Should I get red, or white, or if there's such, red and white? Any brands I should look for? Stay tuned for moar
Alright, thanks! I'll take a look. LOL. I'm in the process of upgrading ever since around 12:30 PM, it's now 6:11 PM over here. xD
Sorry for the late update. Took a trip to the movies xD Here's the few last shots. 1600RPM Scythe S-Flex for the pull on the rad, since these offer a very nice air flow, I thought they would be better as pull config, leaving the stock H100i fans as push H100i finally put in place, it was a nice pain in the rear to put it there in push/pull config, I had to place the rad slightly offset to the left of the case as the corsair fans would hit the CPU power connector and the Fusion barbs, so the Scythe fans are not 100% centered with the rad Finally all put together, after about 7 hours later Oh yeah, I also moved the Zalman MFC-2 to this case to control the temps, the front and rear fan of the case and power usage After getting home from the movie, I powered on the beast, it screams like a tornado due to the 2700RPM Corsair fans, but it's music to my ears We got contact! I have to install windows on a spare SATA HDD as somehow I am unable to enter the RAID card boot GUI to configure the 4 450s for RAID, so I need to install the software in windows to do it prior to installing on the SAS HDDs It's past 1:30 AM, not to mention my room being a mess from taking one computer apart and building another. Thanks for watching
That's a really solid build. Didn't skimp on any parts and took the time to fully utilize that case and do the cables right.
Thanks! Well, I sure did take my time, just about 7 hours to fully get this rig up and running! I already did some benchmarks too. Games that my last rig ran between 30 and 40 FPS, this one runs at a solid 60! Also, I never got a computer OCed this fast. Took me about 30 seconds to just set the multi to x45 and 1.285v on the vCore and it was up and running stable (at least gaming stable for a couple of hours). I wonder if I can make it lower on vCore with some other tweaks. Cheers.

With the opening of the Spirit's 2012-13 OHL season kicking off Friday, September 21 in Guelph, the team has now appointed four veteran skaters as Captain and Assistants.
SAGINAW -- With the opening of the Spirit's 2012-13 OHL season kicking off Friday, September 21 in Guelph, the team has now appointed four veteran skaters as Captain and Assistants.
The Spirit have announced that Vincent Trocheck will assume the captaincy of the team vacated by Brandon Saad, who held the position a season ago.
The Florida Panthers prospect is coming off a season where he was second in the OHL in assists, and led the Spirit in scoring on the strength of an 85 point season.
Trocheck, who inked an NHL contact this past spring, will be looking to carve his name into the Spirit record books this season as he is 57 points away from the franchise high in a career.
Also selected to wear letters for Saginaw this season are veterans Garret Ross, Steven Strong, and Eric Locke who will all be alternate captains.
Ross has played his entire OHL career with the Spirit, hitting the 25 goal plateau for the first time in 2011-12. Ross was selected by the Chicago Blackhawks in the fifth round of June's NHL Draft.
Strong will be starting his second full season on the Spirit blueline after being acquired from the Belleville Bulls last summer.
Locke was also brought in through a trade this past January in a deal with the Barrie Colts. The former Colt and Windsor Spitfire was a 20 goal shooter in the 2011-12 season.
"As an organization we are looking for players who epitomize what we are about," Saginaw Spirit Head Coach Greg Gilbert said. "We believe in high compete levels, work ethic, commitment and sacrifice for the team. We felt that these four young men exemplify these values and what we stand for."

Half Note Lounge
Online Reservations
I had guests visiting from Florida and wanted a place to take them that would provide a little entertainment and dinner for the evening. Half Note was recommended. The decor, food and service made a lasting impression on all of us. Not only would my husband and I go to Half Note again, we will recommend it to others.
The Half Note has the look and feel of any big metopolitan city tuck away in the suburbs. The staff was exceptional. The clientel was mature and hip (telling my age with that word) and the price scale I believe is competitive. The decor was fabulous!! Loved it! Loved it! The food was good but not great. The background music was extremely loud causing everyone to yell just to talk to the person seated next to them. I would patronize Half Note again, however I would not become a regular as I find it to loud to socialize. The band was great after the sound guy worked out the kinks. Overall a good experience.
Excellent service and food -- My first time there for Sunday brunch -- The waffles melted in your mouth -- Everything was fabulous -- Warm and friendly environment -- Great for small or large gatherings -- I was there with two others and I noticed, couples there for romantic outings, and family/friend gatherings of about 20 -- Seems to perfect for small and large gatherings.
The Half Note is definitely a great place for dinner, live entertainment, as well as brunch. I've enjoyed dinner and the live entertainment on more than one occasion. This visit was actually my first time having brunch and it was absolutely amazing. We were greeted with a smile as soon as we entered and were escorted to your table where we were professionally and courteously greeted by your waitress. Our waitress was extremely attentive to us and seems to know exactly when she was needed. Our table was immediately cleared when required. An out-of-town friend joined me and had great things to say as well. Half Note is now at the top of my list for great places for Sunday Brunch.
The food selection was great... Nice selection, but it is pricey.
My visits have only been during the Sunday brunch service which ends later than most restaurants. The service is fine and the price is reasonable. The menu is not as extensive or ranging as most but there's always waffles and crab legs.
My husband and I were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and my son graduating from high school and we had some out of town guest that wanted to join us for dinner. So wanted to find a place that was close to where they were staying, and I found this restaurant. We went on a Tuesday night, which was Karaoke night. We had a wonderful time there. I just wished that they would have acknowledged our special events while we were there. I put it in the notes when I made reservations on OpenTable.
I really enjoyed the selection and taste of the food. The service was also great.
Half Note Lounge is a quality restaurant/music lounge that most people would enjoy immensely and I definitely will return to dine there. The theme/concept, atmosphere, decor, and organization is exceptionally nice and well managed; and the food is excellent. Although it was nice seeing the young and vibrant wait staff at work, they appeared to be under trained and non customer-service oriented. I gave their service a 3 star rating (Good) because I felt that their overall service was better than 2 stars (Fair). I wish I had the option to rate them at 2.5 because the service was between fair and good.
Different place. Not to expensive and lots of food. Very friendly staff. atmosphere was great.
I wasn't thrilled about the Sunday buffet. I expected a better quantity in the food. Fish was fried too hard. The eggs hard and dry.
Excellent food, great ambiance and outstanding entertainment. Sometimes there are challenges with wait-staff experience but this night was exceptional. The service was excellent. The GM took care of my changing reservations to half hour later. He was very courteous and accommodating. His name is Chris and he is certainly an incredible asset for Half Note. You probably won't have issues, but if you do, you should probably ask for him.
This will now be my go to place. Great food, service, and people.
Great place for live music. This was my second time at the lounge. Our mussels were great, but we had to send back one entree, and the shrimp and grits I ordered, were bland and cold. The service was great but they really need to work on the food issues.
The Brunch was excellent! Great variety. The omellette and waffle stations were great. The entire staff swas very friendly and attentive.
This is definitely a diamond in the rough. I have been coming to this establishment for years and every time I have a great experience. I am a seafood person so I love the crab cakes and the spiced up tartar sauce that accompanies it. I went on ladies night and the drinks were AWESOME! Will definitely be turning few people on to this spot .... or I may just keep it to myself.
Had a wonderful time celebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary. Love the fact that they are not a big place but I do recommend getting a reservation in very early. Enjoyed the band and atmosphere.
The Half Note Lounge is a gem in the area North of D.C., a very place to listen to music, sit at the bar, or have a nice dinner with reasonable food and wine. We were there on a Tuesday with Karaoke going on all evening - and some really great singers showing up. A birthday party had brought a great group of people, the waiters were excellently friendly, and watching the energetic life go on made the evening very special. The menu has enough breadth to have something for many different tastes and the quality is solid. But the best is the scene, the people, the life that is enfolding in there. I'll definitely return the next time I am in the area and will sit there and enjoy.
Although it does not have a humongous buffet, it is a nice selection. The food I doled out by servers. Probably to limit people being wasteful. Hot waffles, omelette bar, perfectly cooked shrimp and sweet crabs make this place a great destination for brunch.
The food was excellent and the atmosphere was nice.

Auxiliary Bishop John Arnold of Westminster kneels before the magnificent altar of St James's, Spanish Place
Bishop Arnold administers Confirmation in the Traditional Rite to one of 50 children
Bishop Arnold administers Confirmation in the Traditional Rite at London church
AUXILIARYBishop John Arnold of Westminster administered Confirmation in the Traditional Rite at St James's Church, Spanish Place, London on Saturday, November 3 at the request of Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor.
A record 54 candidates – 50 children and four adults – received the sacrament. A congregation of 600 family and friends packed out St James's. They were led by St James's choir, singing the Veni Creator Spiritus and other traditional hymns.
During the anointing, the choir sang polyphony and plain chant. After the anointing, Bishop Arnold led the congregation in the Divine Praises and then conferred Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. When the confirmations
were over, Bishop Arnold talked with members of the congregation and cut the special Confirmation cake as parents took photographs. John Medlin of the Latin Mass Society (LMS) said: "This is the fifth consecutive year that confirmations
in the Traditional Rite have been arranged by the LMS with the permission of Cardinal CormacMurphyO'Connor. Our numbers are increasing every year and I expect this trend to continue after Pope Benedict's recent Motu Proprio."
In another encouraging development for English traditionalists, the LMSalso announced that Bishop Peter Doyle of Northampton administered Confirmation in the Traditional Rite to seven candidates during a pastoral visit to Our Lady
of Perpetual Succour church, in Chesham, Buckinghamshire, on November 18. Bishop Doyle also celebrated Sunday Mass in the Traditional Rite. Mr Medlin said: "This is a very welcome develop
ment. We hope it will not be long before bishops all over England and Wales respond to pastoral demand for Mass and the Sacraments in the Traditional Rite. "The parishioners of Chesham Bois are very grateful to Bishop Doyle."
'Cathedral of the East End' marks 150 years of vibrant parish life
ONEof the most famous Catholic parish churches in the country will mark its 150th anniversary next month. On December 9 the faithful of St Mary and St Michael, in Commercial Road, East London, will celebrate a century and a half of parish life. The church, known as "the cathedral of the East end", was designed by William Wilkinson Wardell who went on to design St Patrick's Cathedral Melbourne and St Mary's Cathedral Sydney. A history of the parish has been produced. The book was researched by local historian Jean Maynard and edited by current St Mary & St Michael's parish priest, Fr
Jim Mulligan. Many of the priests of the parish have been recognised as men of remarkable zeal and tenacity, as have the Sisters of Mercy, the nuns who have worked in the parish since the middle of the 19th century. Two former parish priests went on to become archbishops: Archbishop Peter Amigo of Southwark and Archbishop Derek Worlock of Liverpool. Another former parish priest, Canon Timothy Ring, who led the parish from 1904 until 1941, was known as a champion of the poor and he became a legend in the East End. He fought against both Communism and fascism in the 1930s. At his funeral, in August 1941,
the East End was brought to a standstill and Clement Attlee attended. The church and the parish have survived though all the struggles of London's East End: poverty, the cholera outbreaks, the dock strikes, the wartime evacuation, the Blitz, the rebuilding after World War II. There will be an anniversary Mass at 11.00am on December 9. Cardinal Cormac MurphyO'Connor will be chief celebrant and many priests formerly associated with the parish will return along with many of the Sisters of Mercy. Local MPs George Galloway and Jim Fitzpatrick are also expected to attend.
St Mary and St Michael's is one of London's best-known churches
St Paul's bookshop celebrates anniversary
St Paul's bookshop by Westminster Cathedral has celebrated its 15th anniversary. The celebrations began with a special evening Mass in the Cathedral, celebrated by administrator Mgr Mark Langham. In his homily Mgr Langham said: "Jesus Christ challenges his followers to proclaim the truth of God, however difficult that may be. We have to use every method available to communicate that truth, and the Society of St Paul, with its mission to use the varied modern media, is one such tool. It is good that St Paul's Bookshop has become a familiar destination in Catholic London, and I know that many people combine a visit to the Cathedral with a visit next door to the bookshop. Congratulations to [the] staff for 15 years of growth, helping to communicate the truth of God to our world." After the Mass, guests moved from the Cathedral to the bookshop for drinks and food. Stephen Moseling, operations coordinator for the bookshop, said: "The evening was an opportunity for us to say thank you to some of the suppliers and customers who have supported St Paul's over the past 15 years." He added: "The success of the evening has given us great encouragement to look ahead to the next 15 years."

Bishop Burns preaches at Notre Dame
BISHOPTHOMASBurns of the Armed Forces spoke in Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris, to mark Remembrance Sunday this year. The bishop was invited to France by the British Embassy and the local branch of the British Legion. In his homily he spoke about the camaraderie among sailors, soldiers, airmen and women that leads them to emulate Christ and lay down their lives for their friends. He said: "We see the opposite in society: too many people lay down their
friends for their lives, trampling on others to get ahead, get promoted, get something first." The bishop moved on to discuss man's understanding of war in the modern age. He said: "People can become incredulous about the awfulness of war and conflict, the lives lost, and the inhumanities done by one human being to another. "Have we forgotten? Will we ever learn? The Falklands, then Iraq, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Palestine, Afghanistan, and an increasingly threatening
Iran. The yoke still remains to be eased; the burden still remains to be lightened. When will we ever learn? "When will God's Kingdom come? Why do we go on fighting? Is the price of so many lives worth it? "We remember the soldiers, sailors, and airmen and women of numerous wars and conflicts, because the price they paid with life and limb was indeed worth it. They have contributed to making a better world. "That price continues to be paid by special people in the Forces, in our own time." THE CATHOLIC HERALD NOVEMBER 23, 2007

'Twice Saddam sentenced me to death: once in 1973 and then in 1984. I was released as a compromise, but he hanged many of us. And since 2003 they have tried to kill me three times." When people talk about "doing an impossible job", it is usually in reference to being England football manager or head of one of the government's unwieldy bureaucracies. For Yonadam Kanna, sole MP of Iraq's Christian party, the Assyrian Democratic Movement, the job in question is saving his people from extinction. The 56-year-old, who speaks seven languages, has risked his life fighting the "chauvinism" of Saddam since the early 1970s. He is now in Europe to plead for help from MPs and Vatican officials, and to meet members of the Assyrian diaspora, Iraq's indigenous Christian minority. "Everyone was sympathetic to us," he says of the 10 British MPs he met. But sympathy is not enough. When we meet at the Assyria House in west London, a policeman stands guard for Kanna's security, making me feel strangely less safe. Back in Baghdad he is protected by 15 bodyguards around the clock, and his 30-minute route from work to home often has to be re-routed to dodge the assassins. Yet despite the constant threats to his life he says he hates being out of his country even for two weeks. The father of three and grandfather of two has a daughter living in Baghdad, a dangerous place for Christian women in particular. The plight of Christian Assyrians has worsened since the "liberation". Islamists and Kurdish paramilitaries have murdered hundreds, and half the Christians have fled the country, mainly to neighbouring countries where they live in squalor and misery. With the exception of Sweden, the West has avoided eyecontact. The Americans and British executed the "liberation" as badly as they executed Saddam. Central to their failure was the policy of
disbanding the military and political structure. "The Coalition didn't develop the army between 2003 and 2005, and the de-Baathification process became too politicised," Kanna says, arguing that it became little more than a score-settling process. "If I wanted, I could get files saying that George Bush's father or Jesus Christ was a Baathist." He continues: "Only in the past 10 months they have built up the police. The trust and respect is coming back, but you can't force people to have peace. You need reconciliation and forgiveness. It's very easy to slip back to how it was. Every citizen needs to feel they have a share in the country otherwise they won't defend it." All through the recent troubles – the bombings of at least 14 churches, hundreds of murders, rapes and kidnappings – the faith of Christians in Iraq has grown stronger, yet this is a double-edged sword. "In recent times religion has helped people, our laws and principles of love and forgiveness. Yet we are paying the taxes for the Americans and the British because we are seen as cousins." Kanna is himself a Catholic, though the Assyrian Democratic Movement is not. "We're a secular party, we encompass all faiths," he explains. The Christians feel that their opponents have exploited

sectarianism, dividing Christians into members of the Assyrian Church of the East, Syriac Catholic Church, Syriac Orthodox Church and smaller Protestant groups. Divide and rule works on a larger scale, too. Kanna says he comes to Britain not just as an Assyrian but also as an Iraqi. "When it rains in Iraq, it rains on all of us. If I go to speak I go to speak for all of Iraq. I represent my people and all of my country." A member of Iraq's reconciliation committee, Kanna recently met Archbishop Desmond Tutu: a model, he says, of Christian forgiveness and healing, just what is needed now. "There is corruption and no public services, but the worst thing is tribal selfishness." This is getting worse in the north, where Assyrians are mainly concentrated. In Kirkuk, a city disputed by two ethnic groups with plenty of oil to fan the flames, Saddam's ethnic cleansing is being reversed by the Kurds, primarily by bribing kinsmen to come in before the American-sponsored plebiscite. On top of this, Turkey has threatened to invade to prevent Kurdish paramilitaries from using Iraq as a base. The Assyrians are stuck in the middle of all this. Last week Kanna went to the Vatican, having addressed the Pope in a letter last month. "I wrote to the Holy Father thanking him for advis
ing the Turkish authorities not to invade the country. Secondly, thanking for him for his decision to make the Patriarch cardinal for the first time in history. And thirdly, we told His Holiness about the suffering of our people in Iraq. We called for peace and prayers for our people." Never has a Christian nation needed it more. "There is encroachment on our villages in the Nineveh plain, and every year in Mosul they auction off Assyrian land while we have to watch. Baghdad has been emptied of Assyrians. I'm worried that in 100 years we won't have any land." Most Assyrians would say that this timetable is optimistic, that without international help they will disappear in a decade. They walk a political tightrope; to paraphrase Bill Clinton, it's the autonomy, stupid. The Iraqi constitution calls for an "administrative area" in the Nineveh plains for the Assyrians and Iraq's other embattled minorities: the Shabak, Turkomen, Mandaeans and Yezidi. All have suffered, not least the Yezidi, whose ancient dualist religion is portrayed as devil worship by Islamists. On August 14 a suicide bomber killed 400 Yezidis in Iraq's worst single massacre. "Were not against autonomy," Kanna says, "but if you're living among people you have to think what your neighbour wants. It's an
administrative region but we're not calling it autonomous." Kanna wants to preserve centuries of peaceful co-existence against the purifiers of this world, but he's also well aware that a perceived Christian mini-state would be the mother of all magnets to Islamists. "There are enough fires in Iraq and we don't want to start a new one by being racist. In the Nineveh region it is 25 per cent Assyrians, 20 per cent Shabak and 20 per cent Yezidi, so all the colours are represented, even Arabs. Historically we've lived together, and we should respect the will of the people to intermingle. Shabaks have been there 600 years; America has existed for only 200." In the meantime they need money. Desperately. "Emerging aid is a more immediate issue than tackling corruption. Two million families are internally displaced, and rent in northern Iraq is more expensive than in London. The Assyrian Aid Society is reaching us, but there is terrible poverty, I can't even talk about it, it is so awful." The AAS, linked to the ADM, has raised money for schools, medical clinics and irrigation projects that, as he points out, help not just Assyrians but everyone in northern Iraq. They have built a boarding school, where 128 Assyrian children from around the country learn in safety, and have trans
lated 135 textbooks from Arabic to Aramaic, keeping the language of Christ alive despite Saddam's best attempt to silence it. And to think all this trouble started with a hot-headed Serbian teenager in the summer of 1914. The Assyrians sided with the British against the Turks and were put to the sword, or Seyfo, their name for the genocide of 1915. Then the Foreign Office's promise of an independent homeland to "Britain's smallest ally" went the way of many FCO promises down the years. But Kanna's not bitter. "Tony Blair and Brown are not responsible for the First World War. But maybe now you could give some good advice to the Americans." Kanna has his own special relationship with Great Britain. He recalls that his father was an officer in the RAF for 28 years. He served in the Second World War in Palestine and Cyprus and after the war his golden dagger was presented to King George VI, and now lies in Kensington Palace. "I came here and found it, after 50 years," Kanna says. "The Major said to me: 'We'll keep it, anytime you want to see it.' " It's a poignant symbol of Britain's debt of honour –whether the dagger becomes just another relic of a bygone people depends very much on Kanna and the West's conscience.
AFRICAN DIARY By Fr David McLaurin
We were invited last Sunday to Holy Cross parish in Dandora; the parish is what you would expect it to be, namely flourishing, thanks to the hard work of the Holy Cross brethren who have care of it. There are 1,200 children between the ages of three and 10 who are enrolled in the Sunday school. They are gathered in classrooms of about 120 each, and seeing us going past the window all called out "How are you?" in that charming way that Kenyan children have. So we had to go in and say hello. They learn things not with books but by rote, repeating things after the catechist, which they seem to enjoy a great deal, thanks to the huge enthusiasm of the catechist. And what do you say when confronted by a 120 smiling small faces? Napenda watoto wadogo wakenya, of course, which translates as "I love small Kenyan children" – a really useful phrase for your cut-out-andkeep guide to Kiswahili. The church holds 2,000 people and is full to capacity at each of the three Masses, with people standing at the back. Everything is highly organised. Because there is hardly any time between Masses, the ushers stand with notices directing people not to come in until the previous congregation has had a chance to leave, thus ensuring a smooth transition. These ushers, the
choir, the dancers and the servers, the readers, the extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist, all seemed to know what to do, and did it very well. Oh what a difference from England, where in some parishes getting anyone to do anything is such a struggle! In keeping with African tradition, all the visitors to the parish were asked to come forward during the Mass and be welcomed by the congregation. You had to say who you were and where you came from, and then everyone would clap and cheer. I can't see that working in a Catholic parish in England somehow, but of course here it does work, because it is in harmony with the people's culture; the same is true of the music. I have the feeling that the key to successful liturgy is to allow people to worship using the language, both verbal and non-verbal, that they understand. Dandora itself would horrify someone just off the plane. It is not a slum, and
that fact that it is zoned (we were in Phase Three) suggests that some sort of town planning has taken place. There is a tarmac road with speed humps, and there is water and electricity, and though the buildings look ramshackle, they are not built out of mud and plastic bags and old oil drums. Alongside the road is a drainage ditch, and this had been cleaned up in preparation for the rains, but the detritus that had been clogging it up, which seemed to consist almost entirely of old plastic bags, had been left by the side of the road. But this is nothing compared to what lies just outside Dandora, namely Nairobi's principal rubbish dump, a sea of old plastic, picked over by storks. The stink is nauseating. Coming into the area one notices that the Nairobi River flows through this polluted landscape. Further downstream, people drink this water. The houses in Dandora are mainly tenements, consisting of several oneroom dwellings with shared kitchens and bathrooms on each floor. Life in Dandora is tough. There is plenty of crime, and people are poor. And yet we took away from it a very positive impression. Despair and depression are not things you associate with Nairobi people.

Ofcom reported on the results from two media use surveys on 2 June 2011. (You will, naturally, want to reflect on the fact that this is an auspicious day: the 59th anniversary of the Queen's coronation.) There were two reports from Ofcom.
Alison Preston (Senior Research Associate) reported on the UK Adults Media Literacy survey which was fielded in Spring and Autumn 2010. The two waves were combined for a sample size of 2,117 adults age 16+. There were three main points to take away from her report.
First, Internet use (called "take-up" in Ofcom jargon) is increasing and has reached 74% of all individuals. This is consistent with the OxIS 2011 survey, which shows 73%. It remains skewed by age and social grade, with younger people and people in higher social grades using the Internet more. This is true of both simple use and amount (hours) of use. more >

The leaflet advertising Ryde's jubilee celebrations.
THE VIEW FROM HERESO it's here at last. After months of preparation and anticipation, we can now embark on this thrilling weekend of pageant and ceremony in celebration of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
In all the realms and dominions over which Her Majesty holds sway, there can be none more excited than her loyal subjects on the IW. So many events, so much junketing, so much devoted homage to our beloved sovereign.
Do you suppose she has any idea of the effort we've made to show our respect and admiration for her diamond reign? Has anyone thought to keep her informed?
She'd be jolly impressed if, for instance, she saw the leaflet advertising the three-day celebrations in Appley Park, Ryde.
Did anyone send it to her? No? Well, that's a pity. I like to think of her relaxing on a golden couch in her boudoir at Buckingham Palace, her corgis snoozing at her feet, while she admires this glorious document.
"Golly," she'd say to herself. "My people upon the IW hev done me proud and no mistake. Here, Philip, take a dekko at this. It will make you very heppy indeed."
It is quite possible those responsible for this leaflet had Prince Philip especially in mind as they designed its front cover. It is dominated by a photograph of a strapping young madam, flashing a lot of thigh.
Her wardrobe consists of long scarlet gloves and sensuously floaty swansdown. She is posing in front of a blowzy arrangement of red feathers and on her head is a huge glittery crown.
Heavens, can it be Her Majesty? As we've never seen her before? Surely not.
On the other hand, this blonde bombshell is undeniably the main feature on this cover and the caption beneath reads "Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee."
Ah, no, here we are. They've managed to squash in a piccie of our monarch, albeit quite a small one and definitely in a supporting role to the thigh-flashing cutie in the crown. Does anyone know who this woman is?
Ideas above her station, if you ask me, shoving Her Majesty downpage like that.
Still, Prince Philip will like her and the Queen will surely be pleased at the Island's thoughtfulness in lining up such a sensational understudy in case anything goes wrong during her visit here in July.
The Appley Park event is organised by an enterprise which calls itself Quture. Quite apart from the fact this company is a mainstay of the "I Love Luton Festival", did the Appley Park sponsors (including the IW Council) not hear alarm bells ringing when they realised Quture, which can't even spell its own name in a proper manner, would have to deal with the Queen's representative?
When it comes to pronunciation, Lord Lieutenant can be a tricky one.
Former council chairman Cllr Arthur Taylor never got the hang of it. 'Lord Loo-tenant,' he'd say, producing an unfortunate hybrid of monocled gentry and gum-chewing GI.
Cllr Susan Scoccia temporarily revived the Lord Loo-tenant on becoming vice-chairman but since her elevation to chairman, she can, with a deep breath and careful thought, get it right.
The Queen may be interested to read that her representative will be in Appley Park. Or will he? The highlight of the event's "Cool Britannia Parade" is, according to the leaflet, the "Lord left Tenant salute for veterans".
"Philip! Hev you seen this? The IW's got a Lord left Tenant! Do we know him?"
I daren't ask Maj Gen Martin White if he's aware of this usurper. What with the Lord left Tenant and the dolly in the crown and the swansdown, the Island may yet bring the monarchy to its knees.
New use for the official sword
WHEREAS some titleholders have a purely symbolic function, it is good to know the Island has somebody really useful at its disposal (particularly if the blonde in the crown brings everything down to a functionary level.)
I refer to our High Sheriff, Mr Nick Hayward, whose surname, I discover, derives from Old English and relates to the chap who was once employed to tidy up the hedges in his area.
This job should obviously already have been done on the Island by Alan Titchmarsh but he's got far too hoity-toity for that sort of thing, so it's up to you now, Nick.
We can no longer rely on the council to keep anything looking nice, so get trimming immediately. In the old days, your ancestors probably wore moleskin trousers tied at the knees with string and carried a billhook but as High Sheriff you can adapt your duties.
Hayward, breeches, sword, hedges, the job's as good as done.

I 've always felt that a double wedding required the highest degree of compromise. When people are willing to give up some of their own ideas and wishes for the "greater good," such a wedding can be fabulously joyful. Make no mistake; a double wedding is not easy to pull off.
A Hudson Valley Bride asks: "My sister and I have always dreamed of having a double wedding. Now that we've each found our soul mates, our dream can become a reality. If I do say so myself, we've always been great about compromising, but we hope you can help with a few sticking points. My sister thinks we should mail separate invitations, each doing our own. I think we should save the money and combine them into one, but I don't know how to do that. We also both want our dad to walk us down the aisle; does he leave one of us and then run back to get the other? Help!"

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Wind Country Notes
The wind power potential in Ukraine, whilst very large overall (estimated at some 30 TWh/yr), is considerably higher in the south than in the northern areas. It is considered technically feasible and advisable to use 15-19% of this inherent wind energy. Study has shown that this potential could support up to 16 000 MW (and possibly as much as 35 000 MW).
In line with other European countries Ukraine plans to restructure its energy sector, incorporating a higher utilisation of renewable energies. The Ukrainian Renewable Energy Agency, using the basic assumptions from the draft Energy Strategy of Ukraine for the period to 2030 and the work of INFORSE (Vision 2050 - energy sector scenarios for European countries), has formulated its own set of scenarios and restated targets that should be met by 2050.
Whilst Ukraine has indigenous fossil fuel resources, it is apparent that they cannot completely satisfy either current or future energy demand. The long-term plan is to utilise the country's varied renewable resources. With regard to wind power, although the present level of installed capacity is quite low, an average wind velocity of 5-5.5 m/s at a height of 10 m available in many regions could lead to a considerable increase in capacity.
At end-2005 total installed capacity stood at 72 MW of which the main plants were: Donuzlavs'ka, 10.9 MW; Sudaks'ka, 5.4 MW; Novoazovs'ka, 20.4 MW; Saks'ka, 18.4 MW; Tarkhankuts'ka, 11.1 MW. It has been predicted that by 2030 over 11 000 MW of capacity will have been constructed and that wind power generation could rise from nearly 25 TWh in that year to around 42 TWh in 2050.
