Militarism in American ChurchesPosted by: | Comments
Since the United States launched the unnecessary, immoral, unjust, and senseless war in Iraq in 2003, the Christian blasphemy occurring in churches has increased ten-fold. Even as the many lies of George W. Bush have been exposed over the years, so the blasphemy has continued unabated.
Although many have e-mailed me (and especially after attending church on the Sunday before a national holiday) with reports of the blasphemy that they have witnessed in their churches, I have seen most of it personally.
What blasphemy am I talking about? Not the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance during church services, which makes me nauseated. Not churches letting their county governments use their facilities as polling places, which is even worse than churches encouraging Christians to vote Republican, as bad as that is. Not the placing of hundreds of small American flags around the church property, of which purchasing these flags is the biggest waste of the offerings of church members I have ever seen. Not the putting of an image of the American flag on the cover of the church bulletin, which is a colossal waste of expensive red and blue toner. Not the adding of more flags inside the church building than are normally on display (believe it or not, some churches always display more than one flag), as if having one flag wasn't bad enough. Not the flying of a foreign flag in church, a flag that represents the denial of Christianity. Not the wearing of an American flag lapel pin, or even worse, a cross and flag lapel pin. Not the singing of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, although that is certainly about the most blasphemous thing that could be sung in a church. And not the singing of hymns of worship to the state, although that is blasphemous enough.
I am referring to the military blasphemy that takes place, not just on the Sunday closest to the Fourth of July, Flag Day, Armed Forces Day, Veterans Day, Memorial Day, and Patriots Day (Sept. 11), but also on special "military appreciation" days that some churches designate, as if Americans don't already appreciate the military enough.
Here is some of the military blasphemy that I have personally witnessed, and/or received on good authority, on the Sunday of, the Sunday before, or the Sunday after one of the above days, which are all really just "military appreciation days":
- Active duty military or veterans wearing their uniforms to church
- Special prayers for "the troops" (but never for their victims) over and above the usual nonsense
- Recognizing active duty military personnel and veterans
- Having active duty military personnel and veterans stand
- Thunderous applause after active duty military personnel and veterans stand
- The pianist playing the song of each branch of the military during the offering
- Military chaplains speaking
- Special military guest speakers who aren't chaplains
- Military color guard walking down the main aisle at the beginning of the church service
- Church bulletins with a list of all the veterans in the church
- Church signs with statements about U.S. troops dying for our freedoms like Christ died for our sins
- Church signs enjoining us to pray for the troops
- Recognition of some young person who has announced his (or her) intention to join the military
- Thunderous applause after the recognition of some young person who is going to join the military
- Video presentations about World War II played during the Sunday morning worship service
- Video tributes to the troops played during the Sunday morning worship service
Once, on just an ordinary, regular Sunday, I saw a pastor recognize and have stand some visiting Marine who wore his uniform to church. And it still makes me nauseated when I think of the Marine Corps recruiting posters that a reader of mine saw on the walls of a boys Sunday School classroom.
"My brethren, these things ought not so to be" (James 3:10).
These things are blasphemous. They are a disgrace to the Lord. They drive non-believers from Christianity. They are an assault on the Blessed Trinity. They are a blight on Christianity. They are an affront to the Saviour. They are anti-scriptural. They are indicative of the sorry state of many evangelical churches today. They are the most heinous examples of the world taking over the church. They break down the wall of separation of church and state. They make a mockery of New Testament Christianity.
Why do these things happen? I put most of the blame on pastors (or bishops, priests, elders, ministers, or church leaders) who have failed to discern the truth themselves so they can educate their congregations. There are, of course, some exceptions, but broadly stated, there are two classes of pastors.
First there is the armchair warrior, evangelical warvangelical, bloodthirsty warmonger, reich-wing nationalist, American exceptionalist, red-state fascist, imperial Christian, pro-lifer for mass murder who moonlights as an apologist for the Republican Party.
Then there is the Christian Coalition moralist, just war theorist, values voter, religious rightist, God and country bumpkin, Pledge reciting, patriotic hymn singing, cross and flag lapel wearer who is just an ignorant blind leader of the blind.
Those in the first group might be ignorant as well, but the main problem they have is that they are evil. This second group makes up the majority. Their ignorance might be colossal, it might be simple, it might even be willful, but their main problem is that they are just ignorant. They are ignorant of history, primitive Christianity, U.S. foreign policy, the true nature of the Republican Party, the U.S. government, the U.S. military, and of course, their own Bible.
This is why they—
- Thought that the war in Iraq was in retaliation for the 9/11 attacks.
- Believed that Saddam Hussein was another Hitler.
- Supposed that Iraq was a threat to the United States.
- Saw the war in Iraq as a modern-day crusade against Islam.
- Assumed that the United States needed to protect Israel from Iraq.
- Viewed Bush as a messiah figure.
And perhaps some of them still think, believe, suppose, see, assume, and view these things. Most of them are certainly still guilty of:
- Equating the Republican Party with the party of God.
- Blindly following the conservative movement.
- Deeming the state to be a divine institution instead of a lying, stealing, and killing machine.
- Holding a "my country right or wrong" attitude.
- Failing to separate the divine sanction of war against the enemies of God in the Old Testament from the New Testament ethic that taught otherwise.
- Reading too much into the mention of soldiers in the New Testament.
And of course, being in love with the military.
What contributes to such sustained, profound, and widespread ignorance?
- Believing government propaganda.
- Believing military propaganda.
- Believing Republican Party propaganda.
- Watching Fox News.
- Listening to conservative pundits like Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, and Bill O'Reilly.
What is the antidote for all of this? The simplest one I know of is this: My book War, Christianity, and the State and a daily dose of LewRockwell.com.
The pastors in the first group need to be criticized, derided, and castigated. They are hopeless. Those in the second group need to be instructed, exposed to the truth, and educated. There is hope for them.
This military blasphemy must cease. Our churches must be demilitarized. I will keep writing. You do what you can to educate the leaders of your church.

Interview with Brian Zahnd – Part 2Posted by: | Comments
This is Part 2 of my interview with Brian Zahnd, author of A Farewell to Mars. You can read Part 1 here and my review here.
DS: Most libertarian Christians are highly suspicious of centralized power. We contend that when power becomes increasingly concentrated, it becomes increasingly corrupt and more harmful to society. You strongly oppose the idea of empire in your book, especially when the empire claims to have God on its side. Few Christians (even Christian anarchists) would deny that governance is needed, but at what point does government become empire? Are local governments less likely to become satanic than federal governments?
BZ: I loosely define empires as rich, powerful nations who seek to rule other nations and claim a manifest destiny to direct history. As a Christian I am opposed to empire for the simple reason that what empires claim for themselves, God has given to Christ. God loves nations, but is opposed to empire. So, yes, smaller is better. This is where I think we should all listen to Wendell Berry. If there is a prophet in America today it's Wendell Berry. Read More→
Interview with Brian Zahnd – Part 1Posted by: | Comments
Brian Zahnd is the founder and lead pastor at Word of Life Church in St. Joseph, Missouri. He is the author of several books, most recently A Farewell to Mars (review here), where he recounts his journey to the gospel of peace after many years of marching to the drumbeats of war. His journey will resonate with libertarians who are disenchanted with the state of political affairs in the United States, as well as with many Christians who hunger for a gospel that speaks to human social needs.
Zahnd agreed to discuss the themes of his new book with somebody who has a libertarian Christian audience in mind. My questions were shaped in part by my desire to connect the core issues that matter to me as a libertarian – primarily violence and peace – with my belief that the gospel of Jesus will change human society. I do not assume or expect Zahnd to agree with libertarians on politics, but I do believe our views overlap enough to have a unique conversation. I have also tried to avoid questions he has already answered in the book.
Thank you for being willing to discuss with me the themes in your new book. As I was reading it, I knew it would resonate with my fellow libertarians. We have a reputation of being contrarians, especially in politics! Many of us are strongly anti-war. The non-aggression principle is foundational to our political beliefs. We strongly affirm Lord Acton's famous quote on the corruption of absolute power. It is no surprise that anyone who teaches that Jesus spoke against empire ends up on our radar!
DS: On this issue of peace and violence, what criticisms have you experienced? What do you believe your critics are missing most about the message of Jesus? How has their critique affected the way you understand and communicate this message?
BZ: First of all, Doug, thank you for the opportunity to engage with your audience.
We tend to divide the subject of violence into two categories: individual/criminal violence and corporate/civil violence. If I speak of the problem of violence on the level of the individual — street violence, domestic violence, criminal violence — I receive no criticism at all. But if I call into question the organized mass violence of war, I have to brace myself for withering criticism. The violence of war is sacred violence. It's hallowed in anthem, memorial, monument, and myth. The massive violence of war is sacred because it has been the organizing principle of civilization. This is the story that history (and the Bible) tells us. This is the foundational story of Cain and Abel. Cain re-imagined his brother as a rival and enemy. So Cain killed Abel. Then Cain lied to God and himself about what he had done, moved east of Eden, and founded the first city. This is how the Bible tells the story of the rise of human civilization as we build upon a foundation of collective murder. Over the course of six millennia human civilization has clung to power enforced by violence as our organizing principle, and most people find it nearly impossible to imagine the world any other way.

A Farewell to MarsPosted by: | Comments
I cannot overstate my excitement to promote Brian Zahnd's latest book, A Farewell to Mars. I am passionate about the message of Jesus as it addresses all of life, including politics. I believe the message of Jesus was intensely political. The puzzle for us today is how to work it out in our unique socio-historical context. This is where Zahnd's book is relevant to a part of the church that is blinded to its addiction to and endorsement of violence. Many others have made the case for peace, and many have done so by appealing to Jesus. Zahnd shares his journey, and in so doing, he subtly exposes the church's infatuation with a power that is truly impotent to save the world.
As libertarians we embrace a politics of peace. Non-aggression is our one non-negotiable. We believe that free trade creates mutually beneficial transactions that promote prosperity for all parties involved. As Christians we believe that true individual freedom comes from faith in Jesus. Our commitment to peace is highly personal for us. A Farewell to Mars is about how the message of Jesus applies to human society. Jesus' world was radically different from ours. He did not address the specific issues that preoccupy us today. Yet everyone who heard the claim "Jesus is Lord" understood that it meant emphatically that Caesar is not! As the saying goes, "Them's fightin' words!"
Zahnd expected to write this book when he was 70 years old. It arrived 15 years early when he had three grandchildren (to whom the book is dedicated). His reluctance to write it is evident on its first pages, where in a brief letter to the book itself, he writes, "I had to write you. You wouldn't let me sleep until you were written." Every page thereafter is simply thick with passion for the world-changing message of Jesus. Read More→
Militarism and EasterPosted by: | Comments
On this Good Friday, Christians are focused on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ as a propitiation for the sins of the world. But on every other day of the year (expect perhaps Christmas), many Christians are focused on some other people in the Bible.
The Bible on several occasions likens a Christian to a soldier (Philippians 2:25, 2 Timothy 2:3, Philemon 2). As soldiers, Christians are admonished to "put on the whole armor of God" (Ephesians 6:11). The Apostle Paul, who himself said: "I have fought a good fight" (2 Timothy 4:7), told a young minister to "war a good warfare" (1 Timothy 1:18). Read More→

The HUC-JIR School of Sacred Music Alumni Association will present a webinar for all HUC-JIR alumni on Tuesday, May 19th. Cantor Bruce Ruben, Ph.D., Director of the School of Sacred Music, will present "Professionalizing the American Reform Cantorate," a follow-up to an alumni webinar exploring how the Reform Rabbinate achieved professional status in America by the late 19th century. Dr. Ruben will demonstrate how this process is being repeated in the on-going professionalization of the American Reform Cantorate. He will examine the marginalization of the cantorate in the Classical Reform period, the renewed need for the cantor as Reform gradually re-embraced tradition, and how, after the Shoah, the need for an American-trained cantorate gave rise to the School of Sacred Music. The school and the subsequent founding of the American Conference of Cantors started the professionalization process. Now, as the 21st century cantorate has changed dramatically from how it was conceived in the 1950s, there is a need to reexamine the "Core Curriculum" of the School of Sacred Music.
Cantor Bruce L. Ruben, Ph.D., is the Director of the School of Sacred Music at HUC-JIR. He has taught Jewish history courses at HUC-JIR and the history of Jewish music at The Julliard School. For the past fifteen years, he has served as an adjunct professor of history at Hunter College, where he has taught courses on World History, Modern Jewish History, and the Holocaust.
For question about the webinar, technical information, or support please contact the HUC-JIR Department of eLearning at email@example.com.
Founded in 1875, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion is North America's first institution of higher Jewish education and the academic, spiritual, and professional leadership development center of Reform Judaism. HUC-JIR educates men and women for service to North American and world Jewry as rabbis, cantors, educators, and nonprofit management professionals, and offers graduate programs to scholars and clergy of all faiths. With centers of learning in Cincinnati, Jerusalem, Los Angeles, and New York, HUC-JIR's scholarly resources comprise the renowned Klau Library, the American Jewish Archives, research institutes and centers, and academic publications. In partnership with the Union for Reform Judaism and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, HUC-JIR sustains the Reform Movement's congregations and professional and lay leaders. HUC-JIR's campuses invite the community to cultural and educational programs illuminating Jewish heritage and fostering interfaith and multiethnic understanding. www.huc.edu

- Anton Bauer Zweigelt Wagram 2011 Product #29055 (In Stock)
A great version of Austria's own Zweigelt grape that shows like a cross between juicy Gamay and hearty Cotes du Rhone - making it a great food and fun selection. Loads of juicy cherry and dark berry fruit with accents of fresh earth, spice, lavender, and fragrant flowers. Mid-weight on the palate and very fresh and clean on the finish, it's more than bold enough to handle big flavors at table but refreshing and fun enough to just sip all by itself. A delicious value.
- Anton Bauer Rose Wagram 2013 Product #28380 (In Stock)
The best vintage yet for this citrusy, crackling, Austrian rosé made from Zweigeld, Merlot, and Syrah. Bright aromas of cherry, raspberry, lemon zest, and a touch of crushed herb open the show. Then, "bang" goes a big mouthful of red berry, citrus, and candied watermelon fruit with juicy accents of lemon zest, herb and rhubarb. Full of fruit, but finishing crisp, dry, and mouthwatering, you'll love this for sipping by the pool or with light foods like sushi and salads. An outstanding bottle of Summer pink!
- Anton Bauer Riesling Berg 2013 Product #29056 (In Stock)
A great introduction to the joys (and stellar value) of Riesling from Austria. From a stony vineyard, this ultra pure and clean Riesling delivers intense aromas and flavors of ripe peach, lime zest, and fresh apricot with stony mineral notes and brisk, mouth-cleansing, acidity. A touch of spice on the juicy finish makes this a great choice for Thanksgiving - but once you've tried this bright but easy-drinking white, you'll find yourself reaching for it again and again.

NBC has announced the midseason finale dates for The Blacklist, Parenthoodand more.
TV theme songs remain a rarity in primetime, with most shows settling for a quick title card and short instrumental burst. (Witness this fall's no-frills openings on shows like Jane the Virgin.) But a few new shows are still keeping the form alive. That includes Showtime's new steamy relationship drama The Affair, which commissioned an original piece from Fiona Apple.
NBC has given a full-season, 22-episode order to The Mysteries of Laura.
"Debra has effortlessly infused Laura with a relatability that is captivating audiences," NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke said in a statement. "We can't wait to see how Laura will continue to evolve throughout the entire season."
Fall TV Popularity Contest: Did Laura intrigue you?
The series stars Messing as a New York City homicide detective struggling to balance her demanding job with her hectic life at home with rambunctious twin boys and a soon-to-be ex-husband, Jake (Josh Lucas), who becomes her new boss. (She's a mom and a cop!?) Since its premiere, 48 percent of more than 13,000 TVGuide.com users said that they liked the show in our Fall TV Popularity Contest, while 37 percent said that they didn't and 15 percent said it was too soon to tell.
Question: Let me preface this by saying The Big Bang Theory is one of my favorite shows, and I have been with them since Day 1, but after watching the premiere episodes on the first Monday of the season, I see a very disturbing trend. Sheldon is rapidly becoming the next Fonzie/Urkel. In the early days of the show, Sheldon was odd but likeable, and you always rooted for him. Now as he is being written, he is becoming more and more obnoxious, as evidenced in the way he treated Amy and the others in the two episodes last week. When shows have a breakout star like Jim Parsons, that person becomes the go-to guy in almost every episode, at the expense of the remaining cast members. Am I wrong in my assessment, or do you think a little less Sheldon and maybe a little nicer Sheldon would be better for the show and the audience? — Terry

The Gay Agenda
By Bill Chenevert
STAGE: Deborah Gibson first graced our malls and radios in 1987 with "Only In My Dreams" and "Shake Your Love," hits she's sure to perform in her three-week stay at Harrah's in Atlantic City, May 4-24. With over a half-dozen studio albums under her belt, the mature and talented Ms. Gibson is bound to electrify youth and seniors alike on the New Jersey coast. Get your tickets here.
SCREEN: A Shot at Love 2 With Tila Tequila is a total bisexual train wreck -- and we can't get enough. Simply put, it's 15 lesbians and 15 straight guys battling for Tila's affection. So where does that leave the gays? Well, there's certainly a fair share of hot straight boy skin, and, frankly, that's worth watching on its own. But when the lesbians start dishing out anti-man sass and exhibiting penile discomfort, that's when the show reaches its greatest laughable heights. As if one season weren't enough, we get a second helping as Tila (above) strives to find love again. This time for real, we're sure. Watch full episodes, roundups, and previews here.

"Absolutely Amazing...Lifesaver! ^_^"
Easy to use.
Included Video Tutorial (click on the back page)
Very customizable, and fast
Covers pretty much everything you could want!
It's not really a con, as I'm going to figure out a good way to remind myself to use it lol. It does auto-start in the tray, if you wish, but I need a way for it to 'slap me in the face' to remind me to organize my life ^^
I downloaded this recently, and am nothing short of amazed. It doesn't hog resources, or your screen (unless you wish it to when your using it). The usability of this program is nothing short of awesome; I've already been having fun putting in my schedule! (Yes, fun ^^).
Includes: (but not excluded to, as I've forgotten some, I'm sure lol)
Monthly, Daily etc Calendar
Color Tab (and 'sticker' organization)
To Do
Clickable URL entries
Contacts & Address Book
Calculator, MP3 player, and even a game!
Very worth it...say goodbye to the big clunky expensive organizers once you've given this a go! ^_^

We thoroughly enjoyed co-op in the first Crackdown, but it was sorely lacking a competitive multiplayer mode. The developers were all too aware of this shortcoming, and had it high on their list of new features for Crackdown 2. And here it is! As revealed in our tell-all interview, old-school Quake exerted a strong influence on the design of Crackdown 2's multiplayer. At our demo last week, we had several of the franchise's lead designers on hand, and talked Creative Director Billy Thompson into sitting in on our station so we could capture the deathmatch carnage from his point of view. So sit back and watch the master at work as he lets the doggie off the leash in frantic Agent on Agent action.

Another reason they might not take it is because it was out of state.Just curious are you a resident of California? Idk if that was a requirement to apply but I think they mentioned something about it. Hopefully things work out for the best.
- 0I heard the lowest off the standby was 19 and the lowest accepted (according to this website) is 22. So let's say 20 is cutoff. 20 sounds like a good cutoff because that is 2/3 of the points. That is sadly like 66% so you want to aim higher than that. Which if I am correct, we all did. Although it may not seem like a lot of people are posting, the closer to finding out, the more people will post. It's astounding how people will just read but not contribute until the last possible minute. You will get random people who declare they are in once the time comes. It is the internet so who knows? It's all speculation. Until late April, we won't find out for sure. Anyone here currently attending CSULA? I'm a transfer. I'm wondering if they only offered micro in spring again and the average grade was a c-. That set a lot of people out of competition because they failed micro and that is disqualifying until they remake it. Most CCs are on a semester system so it would be hard to remake it somewhere else. If so, that had a lot of influence last cohort. If it happens again, us transfers might be in the lead.
- 0Yeah I am a transfer as well. I wonder how many people are going to be accepted in total. Yeah I heard 19 was wait list and 22 was lowest accepted. But these numbers probably change every year. CSULA is the only school I want to attend. After the next couple posts I'll put up my stats up aswell but I am still in bed. lol
- 0ha ha ha! i know my friend just called me and woke me up! i just worked a 12 hour shift and wanted to sleep an extra hour but oh well! i dont go back to work until thurs so its cool!
as for 19 points and 22 points. i believe those were that low because of the issue with the microbio class. *hopefully* that is the same issue this time and we all get in. i think its also safe to say that 20 points and above puts you at good odds.
now you all have like 25+ points right? i barely have about 23....looks like i am in the lower competitive end this year. i have been waiting for over 2 years to get into a program where my hardwork is finally paying off. i want to start nursing and clinicals and ugh! i hate this wait phase. hopefully we find out sooner. i wondering, do you guys know by any chance how we are supposed to hear from them regarding acceptance denial?
oh duh! we put in those envelopes so they can send them back! whew! gosh, then that means it will come through snail mail. wonderful.
ok well if anyone gets anymore news post it up
- 0Yes acceptance letters are given out via mail.. I am not at home right now either so when I do I will post my stats. Yeah I read almost all of last years forum and the microbio issue was unfortunate. Hopefully they resolved the issue since from what I read it was somewhat unfair.
- 0It is unfair but crap happens and hopefully it was resolved even though it boosts us up lolFall 2010 seemed around 20 points cutoff as well
- 0Jan 23, '12 by SpiffynessWhat was the microbio issue? Lol snail mail, clever!

Career NFL statistics as of 2013
Patrick Ryan Kerrigan (born August 16, 1988) is an American football linebacker for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for Purdue University, and was recognized as a unanimous All-American. He was chosen by the Redskins in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
Kerrigan was born in Muncie, Indiana. He attended Muncie Central High School, where he played defensive end and tight end for the Muncie Bearcats high school football team. As a senior he was an all-state selection after recording 90 tackles and 19 sacks as a defensive end. As a tight end he had 40 receptions for 789 yards and six touchdowns.
Kerrigan attended Purdue University, where he played for the Purdue Boilermakers football team from 2007 to 2010. As a freshman in 2007, Kerrigan appeared in 12 games recording 18 tackles and a sack. As a sophomore in 2008 he started 11 of 12 games and was an honorable mention All-Big Ten selection after recording 56 tackles, seven sacks and an interception. As a junior in 2009 he was a second team All-American by Rivals.com and a first team All-Big Ten selection. He finished the season with 66 tackles and 12 sacks. Kerrigan was also awarded Purdue's "Pit Bull Award" in 2009, which was given to the player that exemplified and displayed tenacity and tough play.
Kerrigan was a semifinalist for the Rotary Lombardi Award during his senior season.[1]
After forcing two fumbles against the Michigan Wolverines, Kerrigan became the Big Ten's all-time leader in forced fumbles; his total of 14 forced fumbles tied the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) career record.[2] Following his 2010 season, he was a first-team All-Big Ten selection, was honored as the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and the Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year, as well as winning the The Bill Willis Trophy given to the top collegiate defensive lineman, and was recognized as a unanimous first-team All-American.[3]

Kerrigan was selected by the Washington Redskins with the sixteenth overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. On July 29, 2011, the Redskins officially signed Kerrigan to a four-year, $8.72 million contract with a $4.842 million signing bonus.[5][6] Kerrigan was converted from a defensive end to an outside linebacker. He was made the starting left outside linebacker. During his NFL debut on September 11, 2011, Kerrigan tipped up and intercepted an errant pass from New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, subsequently scoring on a 9-yard scamper into the end zone.[7] On September 29, the NFL named him Defensive Rookie of the Month for September.[8] His rookie season was marked by dominant play. Some speculated Kerrigan would win Defensive Rookie of the Year.[9] At the end of the 2011 season, Kerrigan had started in all 16 games and recorded 63 combined tackles, 7.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, one interception, and one touchdown. On January 16, 2012, Kerrigan along with fellow rookie Roy Helu, were named to the Pro Football Weekly/Pro Football Writers of America all-rookie team.[10]
In Week 5 of the 2012 season against the Atlanta Falcons, Kerrigan tipped a pass thrown by Matt Ryan and intercepted it. He then ran the ball 28 yards for a touchdown, similar to what he did to Eli Manning in his first career game as a rookie.[11][12] In Week 14 against the Baltimore Ravens, he managed to tackle Joe Flacco and tip his pass to Ray Rice enough so London Fletcher could intercept the ball; preventing the Ravens from scoring and allowing the Redskins to tie the score and eventually win in overtime.[13] Kerrigan would have a stellar performance against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16, where he sacked Nick Foles twice, and stripped the ball during one of them; the ball was recovered by Richard Crawford.[14]
Kerrigan would have been added to the NFC roster of the 2013 Pro Bowl to replace Aldon Smith had the San Francisco 49ers won the NFC Championship Game to go to Super Bowl XLVII.[15]
In Week 3 of the 2013 season, Kerrigan tore his left knee's lateral meniscus.[16] Despite the injury, he started every game and tied his career-high in quarterback sacks and forced fumbles.
With the season over, he underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair the tear on January 2, 2014.[17]
On May 2, 2014, the Redskins announced that they would pick up the fifth year option of Kerrigan's rookie contract, which will keep him on roster throughout the 2015 season for $7.038 million.[18]
Father, Brendan, played football at Ball State. His brother, Kyle, was a member of the DePauw swim team.
Kerrigan is half deaf as he has a severe loss of hearing in his left ear. His hearing loss was discovered when he was 8 and was caused by ear infection.[19][20]

The 3 Best Cheap Life Insurance Companies
Finding the cheapest life insurance companies can be difficult because of the many variables involved. Your individual age, health, and lifestyle are main drivers of rates. Depending on the type of insurance you choose, certain companies can be better than others. For instance, whole life coverage is generally more expensive, but it has a cash value component. A mutual insurance company that does not have to pay shareholders, can have more cash available for the policyholders. Overall, large companies that leverage technology to cut costs, and offer multiple lines of insurance so you can take advantage of discounts, will be your best options for finding cheap life insurance.

I want to thank you for the fantastic eBroker Software program that we use here at Medical Plans of Idaho. The interface with our existing client base has been a simple process. eBroker Software's consistent IT support made it easy to integrate our existing clients into the eBroker Software program as well and provide a simple to use consumer friendly process for marketing new clients in a seamless manor. I have used many different CRS programs in the past. All have been clumsy or patched together to work for health insurance products. The fact IOI software is based on the health insurance makes it the perfect foundation to use for my Agency. After using the eBroker Software for 9 months now, I would highly recommend eBroker Software to other agents and agencies. Our suggestions have always been heard and in many cased used to improve the eBroker Software end product. How refreshing to work with a company that listens and cares about their clients. Your customer support has exceeded our expectations. I am elated to be able to work close with eBroker Software, an Idaho based company.
— Steve Marsh, Medical Plans of Idaho
David, just wanted to take a moment to thank you for introducing me to Insurers of Idaho software your software has greatly improved my ability to serve my clients with many options for their health care insurance. It has allowed me to replace my backroom operation (U/W, tracking and renewal) with a more efficient way of handling these functions, and in the process, has improved my bottom line. Again, thanks for your daily assistance. I look forward to working with you for the forseeable future.
— Stanley W. Dean, CLU ISIS Financial LLC
eBroker Software offers extensive software solutions that allow our agency to maximize revenue while improving client service and efficiency. eBroker staff have gone beyond our expectations to ensure our satisfaction with every aspect of their technology and services. Because of the flexibility of eBroker Software and the developers, this is one of the best software solutions we have seen. Any agent or agency that cares about efficiency and future growth in a rapidly changing industry needs to take a very close look at this software.
— Doug Hetherington, Leavitt Group Benefit Services of Boise
We made contact with Insurers of Idaho through another vendor when we were looking for a system that could handle our client management and our commission process. In comparing eBroker Software and another company, we chose eBroker Software. They are a local company and their system seemed very compatible with what we were looking for. They explained that the merging process would be very seamless as well. After signing up with eBroker Software, we soon found out that they actually go above and beyond what they have to, in order to get us trained, up and running. They are able to come into our office to train us, unlike a company from back east. They are even able to take our calls when we need them. eBroker Software has come to our office on numerous occasions to further the training, when the occasion came up. Also, any time we've needed changes, additions, alterations or anything done to our system, they've had it done that same day, if not that same hour. You could never expect to get that type of service from a company in another state! I am SO thankful that we found Insurers of Idaho!!!!
— Health Insurance Associates, Inc.
I am personally and professionally recommending David Watton and eBroker Software for the Idaho Health Exchange. I have worked/partnered with eBroker Software (and David Watton) for over 10 years. His professionalism and understanding of the marketplace in Idaho, the role of the producer, and the use of technology is unparalleled in Idaho. His system (which we use) is easy-to-use and groundbreaking in technology. In addition, I recommend him because his business is local, it is Idaho. Thank you for consideration of eBroker Software Platform and David Watton.
— Douglas Fry, Director of Strategic Employee Benefit Services
I have worked with David Watton from eBroker Software for over a year now. The services he has provided have been invaluable to my business. He has allowed me to step forward in the marketplace with a technology tool that is very functional. His customer service a support of the software he provides has been timely and very helpful. I would highly recommend him and his company to anyone.

You can blame idiocy we see in Congress on gerrymandering
As we look in dismay at the latest example of dysfunctional government, it may serve us well to reflect on a big reason why we are here.
The vast majority of this nation's Congressional districts are surgically tailored to protect incumbents from one party or the other. This precise "gerrymandering" produces representatives who have zero incentive for reasoned compromise; indeed it is more likely to be penalized.
So long as we allow politicians to pick their voters, rather than the other way around, we should not be surprised by the infantile idiocy that we are seeing.
Mike Daisley
Democrats started the bitter battle now being waged in D.C.
Nothing Republicans do to defeat Obamacare or cripple it could be considered a dirtier move than what Democrats did to pass it.
Tom Daoust
Middle class taxpayers will foot the bill for Obamacare
In the Observer's two-page tout of Obamacare, the section on subsidies jumped out at me.
For a family of four with an annual income of $35,300, the premium for a Silver Plan will be $12,500 a year. The subsidy will be $11,000.
That means the government – short for taxpayers – pays the $11,000.
If you don't think your taxes will have to be raised substantially to foot this bill you are in for a big surprise.
By their own admission, supporters of the Unaffordable Care Act admit that 33 million people will still not have any kind of coverage.
Young people will opt for the fine, old people are already on Medicare, unions are fighting for exemption. Who's going to pay for this calamity? The middle class taxpayer!

People suffer while politicians play chicken in nation's capital
Congress and the U.S. Senate play a game of political chicken while the American people suffer. It is quite obvious that politics have become more important than the people.
Robert Desiderio
In response to "Raise taxes on big business rather than cut food stamps" (Sept. 25 Forum):
Taxing corporations wrong way to fund food stamp program
Forum writer Buddy Lemmons favors taxing corporations to pay for food stamp programs. He must also favor higher prices for consumers, higher unemployment and smaller retirement balances for those who invest in stocks.
If he is concerned for food stamp recipients, then he should be quite willing to donate his own money to help them obtain adequate food supplies, rather than urge the government to take other people's money. But that seems to be the favored method of the left; using other people's money instead of their own.
Ben Fletcher
In response to "Celebrating a decade of public arts" (Sept. 28):
We can thank Marcia for public art – and help her plant trees
What an enlightening weekend celebrating 121 pieces of diverse public art. Covered were the 10 years since creation of the Public Art Commission launched a jury approach for 1 percent of public money in certain capital civic projects.
This worthy idea, however, was imported 30 years ago by Marcia Simon, who led a fervent bipartisan band in convincing government to commit to community beauty, providing three decades of stimulating art works.
Now, she is birth mother of Charlotte Trees. Goal: Plant 500,000 trees – paid mostly with private donations – by 2050 to preserve and enhance our shrinking glorious canopy.
Place your winning bet again on the indefatigable Marcia Simon and her inspired co-workers.
Rolfe Neill
In response to "Deer population causes a debate in Matthews" (Sept. 29):
Deer ticks carry Lyme disease; don't feed deer in your yard
To all those deer lovers who oppose the permitting of hunting on private property, I would ask if they will feel the same after they contract Lyme disease from their beloved "pets."
Overpopulation of deer not only causes damage to property and misery for the deer, but it also increases the likelihood of spreading the devastating disease which deer ticks carry.
Please think through the unintended consequences of your emotional attachment to watching the deer graze in your yards.
Charlie Daul
In response to "County may ban recyclables in roll-out trash cans" (Sept. 29):
Easy to keep recyclables out of landfill if you follow my plan
In our household we solved the recycling and trash problem.
In the kitchen we have two trash cans one for recycling and one for trash. It is amazing how fast the recycling can fills up, and the trash can always is almost empty.
It's easy and doesn't take any more effort to recycle. Try it.

I just finished cleaning my XD to prepare for tomorrows shooting session when I noticed my loaded chamber indicator was partially stuck in the loaded position even with the slide off the frame.
I believe a piece of crud must have gotten lodged under it preventing it from returning flush with the slide. I was unable to remove whatever the obstruction was. I suspect if I give it a good blast with gun scrubber all will return to normal unfortunately I'm currently out. It's not bid deal since it won't impede with the function of the gun, but the chamber indicator now says loaded even when it's not.
I don't rely on such devises to tell me if my gun is loaded but this just illustrates how these PC "safety" devises can fail even ones that are as mechanically simple as this.
Anyone else have this happen on an XD or other indicator equiped weapons?

Yunalesca (Boss)Talk6
this wiki
Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!
- —Auron
- See also: Yunalesca
Yunalesca is a storyline boss from Final Fantasy X fought in Zanarkand Dome. The battle with Yunalesca is fought in three stages, with her becoming more demonic with each change. Her third form resembles the sprite of Goddess from Final Fantasy VI.
The Sun Crest can be found after defeating Yunalesca, revealed by going down the end set of stairs. In the PAL, International and HD Remaster versions, if the player does not obtain it upon her defeat, the next opportunity they have to obtain it is after defeating Dark Bahamut.
In the Final Fantasy X HD Remaster defeating Yunalesca earns the Overcoming the Past trophy.
Yunalesca has three forms, each of which has a separate HP pool. Whenever a form is defeated Yunalesca will immediately transform into her next form.
Yunalesca's first form will counter all physical attacks with Blind, magic spells with Silence and Special commands with Sleep. On her turn Yunalesca will alternate between a weak physical attack which removes positive status effects except Reflect, and Absorb, which inflicts damage equal half of the affected character's maximum HP and heals Yunalesca by the same amount.
Yunalesca will start the second round by using Hellbiter, which puts all characters in Zombie status, and then will cast healing spells such as Regen and Cura on the party. She will often counter-attack any hits against her with a weak physical attack with the same properties as in her first form.
Yunalesca will begin the third round with Mega Death, which kills all party members who are not afflicted with Zombie. Yunalesca retains Hellbiter, Regen and her physical counter-attack from her previous form, however she now has access to Curaga which she will use against a party member and Mind Blast which attempts to inflict Curse and Confuse on all party members.
When an aeon is used against Yunalesca in any form, she will cast Absorb on them on every turn.
The fastest option assuming one doesn't care about everyone getting AP is to steal four Fire Gems from Flame Flans in the Calm Lands and ensure Rikku can mix Trio of 9999 (Quartet could work, but it would need to land on someone who has the ability Use). When facing Yunalesca, Rikku must mix Trio of 9999 and throw four Fire Gems for a quick win.
Before the battle, it is useful to have Yuna and Rikku reach Overdrive, along with any aeons. It is beneficial to customize the ability Auto-Med (or find an item) on either Rikku, Wakka, or Auron. When the battle begins, the trio should be in the starting line-up and steal a Stamina Tablet from Yunalesca. It can be used in mix with a Potion and to get Mega Vitality, which will double everyone's hit points. Yunalesca's greatest weakness is her lack of strong physical attacks, and Wakka and Auron's 8,000-10,000 hit points functions nicely for offensive purposes.
Yuna is handy for Reflect and Esuna. When the second phase starts, the party should continue the same strategy, mixing in Overdrives, although Yuna is needed to Dispel any Regen that might land. Whoever is the Auto-Med can function as a curer and use Holy Waters to cure the Zombie. A good follow up is to have Yuna use Curaga afterwards. However, the party must be sure to always keep at least one Zombified player on the field in case of Mega Death and the rest of the battle should pass easily.
An alternate, and perhaps simpler, strategy is to capture one of every type of fiend that exists in the Calm Lands for the Monster Arena owner and he will reward the party with 60 Farplane Winds, which can be customized into the Deathproof ability. This is especially useful for Yuna to immunize her to Mega Death even without the Zombie status so she can revive and heal the other characters. It is also possible to use Auto-Life to survive Mega Death by either casting the spell or by using Rikku's Hyper Mighty G.
If Yuna has learned Holy, it is a good time to use it.
Parties without Break Damage Limit can still get an Overkill on Yunalesca by using Bahamut's Mega Flare Overdrive, which can exceed 9,999 damage.

Warm Chocolate Cakes with Mascarpone Cream
Quentin Bacon
Provided by: Food&Wine
total prep
In his riff on Black Forest cake, a favorite dessert of his father?s, Hosea Rosenberg tops individual cakes with mascarpone cream instead of whipped cream and luscious brandied cherries instead of jarred. Plus: Top Chef
- 8 ounce(s) bittersweet chocolate, chopped plus shavings for garnish optional
- 1 1/2 stick(s) 6 ounces unsalted butter
- 3 large eggs, plus 3 large egg yolks at room temperature
- 1/2 cup(s) sugar
- 1/4 cup(s) cake flour
- 1/2 cup(s) heavy cream
- 1/2 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
- 2 tablespoon(s) light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) finely grated lemon zest
- 1 cup(s) mascarpone, 8 ounces
- 1 teaspoon(s) fresh lemon juice
- About 1/2 cup brandied cherries or kirsch-soaked sour cherries
- 1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Coat six 6-ounce ramekins with butter, and dust lightly with flour. Set the ramekins on a sturdy baking sheet. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate with the butter; let cool.
- 2. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the whisk, beat the eggs, yolks and sugar on high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the chocolate, then fold in the cake flour just until no streaks remain.
- 3. Spoon the batter into the prepared ramekins and bake for 15 minutes, until the cakes have risen, the tops are dry and the centers are slightly jiggly. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- 4. In a bowl, beat the cream with the vanilla seeds, brown sugar and lemon zest until soft peaks form. Add the mascarpone and lemon juice and beat until blended.
- 5. Run the tip of a small knife around each cake to loosen it, then unmold onto plates. Spoon the mascarpone cream onto the cakes and garnish with the brandied cherries and chocolate shavings.

Coyotes 5, Flames 4
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP)
Offense is a bonus for Phoenix forward Vernon Fiddler.
By his own admission, Fiddler is a body crasher, a mucker, a defensive specialist.
That all changed Friday night when the 30-year-old Fiddler had his first NHL hat trick to lead the Phoenix Coyotes to a 5-4 victory over the Calgary Flames.
The attendance-challenged Coyotes, playing before an announced crowd of 11,117, held off the Calgary after giving up two goals in the final 49 seconds.
Fiddler had scored two goals three times in his career before breaking through against the Flames.
Growing up in Edmonton, Fiddler said he was an Oilers fan, and his hat trick against Calgary was special.
''Yeah, you always want to beat the Flames, so this feels real good,'' Fiddler said. ''My style is more defensive, but I guess I got three lucky bounces. The bottom line, though, is we picked two points in the standings, and that's what this game boiled down.''
Lee Stempniak and Scottie Upshall also scored to help the Coyotes win consecutive games for the first time this season. Rene Bourque, Ian White, Alex Tanguay and Tim Jackson scored for Calgary.
''This was a big character win for us,'' said Upshall, who picked up the Coyotes' third goal of the night. ''We've had trouble putting wins together, so this was huge for us. It's just a big win.''
Fiddler tied it at 1 early in the second period with his first goal of the season. He made it 4-2 midway through the final period when he jammed in a loose puck in the crease, and completed the hat trick with an empty-net goal that made it 5-2 with 1:38 to go.
The Flames made it close when Tanguay and Jackson scored 29 seconds apart in the final minute.
The Flames opened the scoring when Bourque slammed a rebound past Ilya Bryzgalov at 9:24 of the first.Z
Calgary peppered Bryzgalov with 24 shots in the two periods. The shot total reflected Bryzgalov's season work load. He ranks third in the NHL in shots against, third in saves and sixth in minutes played.
The Coyotes scored three times in the first 8:21 of the second to take a 3-1 lead.
The Flames' line of Jarome Iginla, Brendan Morrison and Tanguay accounted for two points in this game, and continue to raise concern for their lack of scoring. Combined, they have 10 goals so far this season.
''Tough night again for these guys, and they need to fight through this,'' Calgary coach Brent Sutter said. ''Offensively, we're not consistent, so players need to help in other ways.''
Fiddler picked up his first when he drove a loose puck behind Miikka Kiprusoff at 1:34. Then, Stempniak converted a pass from Vojtek Wolski on a 2-on-1 for his fifth of the season at 5:22. Upshall capped the spree with his fourth goal of the season, blasting the puck over Kiprusoff's left shoulder.
The Flames responded with Ian White's power goal with 7:20 left in the period - 8 seconds after Eric Belanger was called for cross-checking. The Flames' goal was only their third power-play score of the season on the road.
The two points were particularly important to the Coyotes.
''Points are valuable, period,'' coach Dave Tippett said. ''We need players to compete and battle hard. Winning in this league is not all that easy.''
NOTES: The Coyotes assigned defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson to San Antonio of the AHL. He was the team's top pick in the 2009 draft. ... Phoenix captain Shane Doan missed his fourth straight game because of a lower-back injury. ... Calgary star Jarome Iginla has one goal since Oct. 19.
