Renewing CongregationsWe are a church that is deeply rooted — and always being made new. Congregational renewal is a biblical journey in which ELCA congregations deepen their understanding of the word of God, expand their practice of the word in the world, and are inspired to share with others the beauty of the word.
The ELCA Congregational and Synodical Mission unit engages synods and other partners in renewing congregations as vital centers for mission. By renewing congregations, we aim to create communities of faith that are growing, vibrant and diverse, with more worshipers supporting and engaged in God's mission — locally and globally.
Are you looking for support or resources for renewing congregations? The Congregational and Synodical Mission unit's Renewal Team provides support and assistance to synods as they equip congregations to engage in renewal ministry. This includes: transformational ministry training, the Natural Church Development process, the coaching process, ministry adjustments, mergers, consolidations, relocations, as well as synodical intervention and administration.

Canon's 50mm prime lenses are all non-IS (Image Stabilization) for some reason. Considering the popularity of these range primes, shouldn't Canon be interested in shipping a new, optically improved IS version?
There are two main reason why there's little chance we're going to see 50mm IS lens in the near future:
That is a question for Canon. Honestly, I would not expect them to answer anything about their reasons or plans for not doing something.
What you may note is that there are very few prime lenses with stabilization. If you look across ALL major brands, there are only 20 of them among 213!
One would assume the base logic is that prime lenses have wider apertures than zooms and so stabilization is less needed. This is actually one reason I primarily shoot with Pentax and I enjoy using a F/1.8 lens with stabilization for extreme low-light shooting.
There may be a technical answer, but I would just be guessing. Perhaps if you start moving lens elements, you may eat away at some of the quality advantage, or perhaps it is harder to stabilize at wider apertures? I'm curious too but don't really know.
One of the oldest rules of thumb in photography is the "Sunny 16" rule. Essentially, it says that you can get a proper exposure using 1/(ISO linear rating) as the shutter speed at an aperture of f/16 in bright daylight conditions.
At an ISO setting of 100, then, a midday exposure would be 1/100 s (or, more practically on a film camera, 1/125 s for slides or 1/60 s for reversal films).
Another rule of thumb for th 35mm format is that you can safely hand-hold a camera and get reasonable sharpness at a shutter speed of 1/(focal length of lens) in seconds. Anything from 1/60 s down is in the hand-held range for a 50mm lens on a full/frame camera, and 1/80 s and faster ought to be okay on a crop-sensor camera.
Now, not all pictures are taken at high noon on a sunny day. But ask yourself how many pictures you tend to take with your 50mm lens stopped down to f/16. Unless you keep your camera pegged at the hyperfocal distance for Cartier-Bresson-style "decisive moment" snaps, I'd be willing to bet that most of your small-aperture shots are either landscapes or architectural, in which case a tripod is hardly an annoyance. You probably use the lens opened up to f/8 or wider most of the time. And you've got a further couple of stops of ISO sensitivity to hand before picture noise begins to be noticeable to anyone besides pixel peepers.
What all of this boils down to is that there would be a vanishingly small market for an IS 50mm once the added bulk and expense are taken into account. The only people who would really benefit from IS on a 50 are people like me (I have a chorea not unlike Huntington's disease) and a handful of photojournalists who want to work in available darkness but can't stand grain. Oh, and a few people who have money to spend and can convince themselves that the IS lens must be "better" because it's more expensive and has the letters "IS".
Purely economic. Both Canon's and Nikon's kit zooms manage to include stabilisation and still cost almost nothing, so it's not the cost of including the mechanism, it's the cost of redesigning the lens. They'd do it if they thought there was a market, but they don't.
Personally I think they're missing a trick. I'd absolutely love a 35mm or 50mm prime with IS, even if it was f/2 as long as it was sharp wide open. I think we'll have to wait for Sony (ie Konica/Minolta) or maybe Sigma to do it. Nikon and especially Canon are pretty unresponsive to user demand. But if Sigma did it and it sold well, then they might be woken from their slumbers.
It's an interesting idea. But I suppose image stabilization pays off the most on lenses that are slow (F/2.8 is slow-ish by prime standards) or long (100mm or longer) or both. A 50mm prime (which is usually F/2.0 or faster) just isn't a top priority for the IS treatment.
While 50mm primes may be popular among photo enthusiasts, they may still be among the slowest-selling, least frequently revised lenses in a big manufacturer's line-up. Cheap kit zooms are certainly the best-selling lenses Canon or Nikon makes, and so are updated pretty often. Canon's current F/1.4 50mm lens design, on the other hand, is nearly 20 years old (circa 1993).
There are economic arguments for sure (prime lenses tend to be older designs and don't sell in as high volumes as consumer zooms) but here's another way to look at it.
The shutter speed required to prevent camera motion blur is heavily dependant on the focal length. The shutter speed required to prevent subject blur is independent of focal length if the subject fills the same amount of the frame.
For shooting people in a non posed situation I've found that 1/50s is about the limit to avoid motion blur in most cases. The speed you need for shooting people and the speed you need to prevent camera shake are about the same.
Now consider a 50mm lens with a three stop stabilizer that works (going on test results three stops is realistic these days). That takes you to a speed of 1/6s which is going to cause motion blur in a lot of subjects. It's true that sometimes you're not shooting moving subject, but in these cases it's not unreasonable to use a tripod, since you're able to take more time over the shot.
I know some people like to use fast wide lenses with cameras featuring sensor-shift IS, and there are cases where it's useful, however these situations are rare compared to shooting with a telephoto lenses where the speed required to freeze action doesn't prevent camera shake.
It is interesting doing a comparison of fashion shots of models in stidio, with the Canon 24-105mm f4 L and the Canon 50mm 1.4, both at the 50mm focal length, both on a 5D-iii. If the model is still, they are equivalent, with somewhat finer detail in the prime. If the model is moving, the 50mm prime suffers. I can only attribute this to lack of IS in the prime.
As flash sync is limited to 1/200 sec, you sometimes cannot go to higher shutter speeds in the studio to resolve movement in the target.

Chael Sonnen fails random drug test
UFC light heavyweight Chael Sonnen has failed a random drug test in the state of Nevada and will not fight Vitor Belfort at UFC 175 on July 5.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission randomly tested Sonnen last month while he was in Las Vegas to attend a UFC news conference. Results confirmed the presence of two illegal substances, Anastrozole and Clomiphene.
NSAC chairman Francisco Aguilar confirmed the test results to ESPN.com on Tuesday.
UFC officials also acknowledged the situation.
"UFC officials acknowledge irregularities in a recent random test," the promotion stated. "Chael is planning on addressing the matter this afternoon."
Sonnen (28-14-1) is expected to discuss the test results on Fox, where he serves as a UFC analyst. The substances Sonnen tested postive for are classified as anti-estrogenic.
Anastrozole is used to treat early stages of breast cancer. Clomiphene is used in cases of female infertility.
Sonnen will likely face a suspension in the wake of the test. Sources indicate to ESPN.com he will not file an appeal.
Sonnen, 37, has stated he was diagnosed with hypogonadism in 2008, resulting in a low level of testosterone. He had been approved the use of testosterone-replacement-therapy (TRT) in his last six fights, twice in Nevada.
The NSAC banned TRT in combat sports in February, however, which forced Sonnen to abandon treatment. Shortly after the ban, Sonnen stated he would have to find alternative methods to raise his testosterone or retire.
"If (the ban) retires guys, then it retires guys," Sonnen said on UFC Tonight. "Rules are rules and the rules need to be followed.
"I've had to stop testosterone with the hope we can find a new way to gain results of upping testosterone to a healthy level. If it doesn't work, I may have to stop the sport and it's as simple as that."
Sonnen was originally scheduled to fight Wanderlei Silva at UFC 175, which takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, but Silva was pulled from the card last month when he refused to submit to a random NSAC test.
Belfort (24-10) is facing a licensing issue in Nevada as well. The Brazilian had also been approved the use of TRT in his last three fights, but has since discontinued use. He is currently scheduled to appear at an NSAC licensing hearing on June 17.
This is the second time Sonnen has technically failed a drug test. In August 2010, he tested positive for an elevated testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio prior to a UFC middleweight title fight against Anderson Silva in Oakland. The California State Athletic Commission suspended Sonnen for one year.

Lower Latency with iWARP
Lowering latency is increasingly important for enterprises because of virtualization, big data applications, Web 2.0 services, and the growing number of real-time applications.
For many of these applications, completing a task is dependent on data calls to servers or storage in other parts of the data center. This east-west traffic is growing, and requires a low-latency infrastructure for the application response time to be acceptable.
For data centers and cloud applications that demand low latency, the network landscape is changing. InfiniBand* is not the only option. iWARP is emerging as a mainstream network technology that can have a dramatic impact on performance and efficiency of many network applications.
iWARP is an attractive alternative to Infiniband, due to the significant investment companies have already made in Ethernet. Any slight advantage InfiniBand might have is diminished when you look at the cost of installing and maintaining a completely separate infrastructure.
iWARP uses your existing Ethernet infrastructure. Now, network managers can install iWARP-capable Ethernet adapter cards in servers, and Microsoft Windows* Server 2012 automatically takes advantage of available RDMA (remote direct memory access) pathways. Because iWARP runs on TCP/IP, no changes are needed to an existing switch and router network infrastructure.
Real-world testing shows that iWARP can match or exceed InfiniBand.
Future Intel® Server Chipsets will support 10 GbE and faster Ethernet with iWARP capabilities, enabling high throughput, and low latency performance at low CPU utilization. Read the white paper for more information about performance.

Sushi restaurant to open DowntownWritten by Danielle Stanton | | email@example.com
New York-born chef Kengo Kato, who has been preparing sushi in Toledo for seven years, had the opportunity to pull up his Toledo roots and take his sushi-making skills to Denver, but food blogger Josh Wagy of Smash Toledo was not about to let that happen.
"[Kato] was thinking about moving out of Toledo; he had a good job offer in Denver. Me and Smash Toledo want really great chefs to stay in Toledo. We came up with a little funding and a budget and we got backers to help and we made him an offer he couldn't refuse," Wagy said.
Wagy and Kato are now co-owners of Kengo, a sushi and yakitori (skewered meat) restaurant set to open by Sept. 1 at 38 S. St. Clair St. in the Downtown Warehouse District. The restaurant will be the first sushi bar to come to Downtown.
"It was a pretty unanimous decision on where we wanted to put our restaurant," Wagy said. "Rent was a great price and everything has been lining up really nicely for us. We got the money in the bank and we've signed the lease and it's a go."
Currently, the two are working to transform their rented space from an empty room with just a three-bin sink to a 25-seat dining area with a five-seat sushi bar. They already have an architect laying down plans and recently met with an electrician.
A fabrication shop in Delta is building Kengo's sushi bar and local woodworker Craig Mossing is creating the platter boards for the sushi rolls.
The final effect they're hoping for is urban and organic with lots of art. They will not have any white plates, only ceramic bowls, Wagy said.
"We're going to have local artists doing murals. It's going to be a fun, casual, eclectic atmosphere."
The menu will be unique as well, they said. They're calling it "small and more traditional" than what other sushi restaurants are offering. The courses will be cut down in size and available à la carte or in a combination platter to keep it simple, they said.
Kato will buy fish fresh at area markets as well as in Livonia, Michigan, and from places as far away as Honolulu and Japan, he said.
"I really want to work with local farmers and stay local," Kato said. "I will work with Honolulu and Japan and all over the U.S. I have guys that will deliver (the meat) daily and in Livonia there's a warehouse where I will personally go pick it up. I just want to do everything fresh. I don't have a walk-in cooler or freezer. Everything is going to have to be fresh.
"I'm going to have a sushi bar and I'm going to purchase a yakitori grill where I'll be skewering all kinds of meat and fish and grilling them. Yakitori is a Japanese street food and comfort food. I don't want to be a pretentious restaurant. I just want people to enjoy themselves. I want to go back to the roots of a Japanese chef and do simple things."
Kato was born and raised in New York City. His parents owned two Japanese restaurants in the city, where he worked from a young age. As an adult, he worked in a traditional Japanese restaurant for seven years and helped other people open up restaurants, but this endeavor will be the first time he has opened up his own restaurant.
The opportunity to own his own restaurant and the support from people in Toledo convinced Kengo to stay, he said.
"This is an opportunity. I'm originally from New York and my friends and family want me to come back there to do my thing. A friend gave me an offer in Denver. [But] people here just have been really great to me and supportive of me. I've gotten so many text messages congratulating me, and [saying] how happy they are I'll be staying in Toledo. I just love the support and Josh is so supportive."
The plan is for Kengo to be the first restaurant in the city with sake on tap. Wagy said they've also been in talks with Maumee Bay Brewing Co. and Black Cloister Brewing Company, both of which said they would come up with a beer designed especially for Kengo.

Worth the effort: Travel: Old Quebec City strong on history, sceneryWritten by Art Weber | | email@example.com
Old Quebec City reeks of history.
Not old as in stale. Think venerable. Well preserved. Exceptional. Quaint. Fascinating.
Canada's seventh most populous city, one of the oldest and certainly the most European of all North American cities, is so well-preserved that it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Sure, there are plenty of museums strategically placed throughout Quebec City, but you don't need to visit one to appreciate the experience. Old Quebec is history.
"The whole city is an open air museum," said Michelle Demers, an expert guide with Quebec City Tourism. "Everything is very compact."
Translation: Park your car and walk.
The narrow streets are wonderfully Old World and perfect for strolling — and a nightmare for the unwary to drive. Walking is better anyway. You can peer into shop windows, feel the history firsthand, be tempted by sidewalk cafes and stop and listen to street musicians. It's all under the looming presence of the giant Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac, the iconic Quebec structure built in 1893 and arguably the most photographed hotel in the world. It's a great choice to overnight in one of the Frontenac's 618 guest rooms, though there are other wonderful accommodations as well.
It was a stroke of strategic genius when French explorer Samuel de Champlain, the founder of New France, decided in 1608 to settle at the place along the St. Lawrence River called Quebec — the Algonquin word meaning "where the river narrows." The site featured high cliffs that commanded views of everything that passed on the St. Lawrence River. It was destined that Britain and France would wrestle over its control.
Quebec would stay French until a great battle on the Plains of Abraham in 1759 took France out of the equation and left the British in control.
Except you wouldn't know it today. French is the language and culture of choice virtually everywhere, though American tourists will find many Quebecois speak more than adequate English.
The Old City is still defined by its nearly three-mile-long walled fortifications, originally built in the early 1600s and improved by both the French and the British. Built to hold out enemies, the wall also marked a division between settlement and the frontier wilderness that, even today, can be found mere minutes from the city.
The grandeur of national parks, roaring rivers and great waterfalls, mountains and daunting ski slopes is just a stone's throw away. Imagine strolling old neighborhoods and dining in fine restaurants, while being virtually next door to stunning natural beauty that is the home of moose, wolvws, mountain lions and lynx.
The city and nature meet on the tables of some of Quebec's finest restaurants. Menus sport offerings like elk, caribou, trout and venison. Farm-to-table dining is favored resulting in selections that include surprises like sea buckthorn and bilberries. Extend the wild experience at Restaurant La Traite in Wendake, home of the Huron-Wendat Nation. The restaurant showcases First Nation cuisine and its menu has all of those plus eel and seal, all prepared with more than three dozen traditional native spices — black spruce and the like. La Traite is five-star.
For more information, visit www.bonjourquebec.com. Air connections to Quebec are readily available out of Detroit and Windsor. Canada's VIA Rail system can be picked up in Windsor or other points including Toronto and Montreal, though timing of train departures may dictate overnighting along the way. Allow about 14 hours for the trip while traveling by car.

I love the glove and the small tub (I have the larger ones). I hated the tree ring but didn't think I could return it since I had cut the interior to fit my tree. When I got the size right I laid it down and thought it was awful and three it away. I didn't think I could return it since I cut it. I would also like to return the water tower. I saw one at a store and I don't think I will like it so it remains in its box but I tossed the box it was delivered in. How do I send it back?

Top 10 films of 2011 and their Oscar chancesWritten by James A. Molnar | The Gold Knight | email@example.com
Taking a break from covering the Oscars, I sat down and figured out my favorite movies from 2011. While some movies are among the top contenders for Oscar gold, others are simply excellent films.
10. "Rango" : The animation is beautiful and the story is very good. The attention to detail is remarkable and it's unlike any animated film I've seen this year. (Oscar possibility: Animated Feature, Sound Editing)
9. "The Ghost Writer": This 2010 mysterious thrill ride is perfectly written, cast, scored and shot. Roman Polanski hits it out of the park. (No Oscar possibility; not eligible)
8. "Midnight in Paris": Woody Allen creates an ephemeral experience of Paris and the classics. The dialogue and characters in the film are timeless. Literally. The choice of music is also perfect. (Possibility: Picture, Allen for Director, Original Screenplay, Art Direction)
7. "The Help": This moving film has a superb cast, led by Emma Stone and Viola Davis. You may need some tissues. (Possibility: Picture, Davis for Actress, Jessica Chastain and Octavia Spencer for Supporting Actress, Adapted Screenplay, Art Direction, Costume Design, Original Song)
6. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes": An unexpected and refreshing surprise in a lackluster summer. The animation of the apes, particularly their eyes, is breathtaking. (Possibility: Sound Mixing, Visual Effects)
5. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2": A wonderful send-off to the series. Some of the best scenes and sequences of the series are in the final movie. (Possibility: Alan Rickman for Supporting Actor, Art Direction, Makeup, Original Score, Sound Editing, Visual Effects)
4. "Hugo": Director Martin Scorsese has created a visual masterpiece. With a fantastical plot and superb cinematography, "Hugo" works magic on screen. Did I mention the splendiferous visuals? And who doesn't love a movie set in Paris? (Possibility: Picture, Scorsese for Director, Adapted Screenplay, Art Direction, Cinematography, Costume Design, Film Editing, Original Score, Original Song, Visual Effects)
3. "The Descendants": George Clooney gives us one of his most emotionally raw performances on the big screen. His on-screen daughter Shailene Woodley is perfect and the soundtrack perfectly blends the plot's transitions with Hawaiian music. (Possibility: Picture, Alexander Payne for Director, Clooney for Actor, Woodley for Supporting Actress, Adapted Screenplay)
2. "Beginners": A compelling story and cast with Ewan McGregor as the son of a dying man (Christopher Plummer) who came out of the closet at age 75. The film shows that life is a constant state of discovery and self-awakening. The editing is superb, with show-and-tell styling throughout that adds to the films quiet simplicity. (Possibility: Picture, Plummer for Supporting Actor, Original Screenplay, Editing)
1. "Super 8": J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg. What else is there to say? This dynamic matchup is the perfect pairing for my favorite film of 2011, an homage to a classic extraterrestrial story and sci-fi fantasy. At the heart of the story is not an alien. It's a young boy who's lost his mother and a father struggling to be a parent. It's about the personal connection between a boy, his father and his friends. (Possibility: Cinematography, Editing, Original Score, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing)
Nominations for the 84th Academy Awards will be announced Tuesday, Jan. 24 around 8:30 a.m.

Politics aside, local leaders want fiscal cliff compromise
The holidays are generally seen as a time of sharing, but that message doesn't seem to have reached Capitol Hill, where legislative leaders and President Barack Obama have been either unwilling or unable to compromise on "fiscal cliff" negotiations.
Several tax breaks would expire if the House of Representatives and Senate fail to act, including Bush-era tax cuts on all personal income brackets and business tax cuts Obama put into place during his first term. The non-partisan Tax Policy Center has estimated that taxes would rise an average of $3,500 per person per year if that happens.
The debate has been at the forefront of many citizens' minds as the new year rolls around, including local political leaders.
Sticking to party lines, Sanford's Democratic Mayor Cornelia Olive blamed House Speaker John Boehner and his fellow Republicans for the repeated breakdowns in talks, and Republican Chairman of the Lee County Board of Commissioners Charlie Parks blamed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Obama and their fellow Democrats.
But unlike the national leaders, Parks and Olive did at least agree on one thing: Congress needs to get its act together.
"This whole process is, right now, a test of wills that is damaging to the American people, and I think it's one of the saddest commentaries on power plays that stand to hurt so many people," Olive said. "I think it's time they put their big boy pants on, and their big girl pants on, and sit down and reach a deal."
Parks cut straight to the chase, saying he thinks every senator and representative should rotate in and out of prison until the issue is resolved.
"They're committing fraud by taking money but not doing anything," he said, adding, "If people aren't willing to work together, we ought to throw them all out of office."
The details holding up the process seem to mainly revolve around where exactly to cut federal spending, and how much taxation is necessary. Republicans are generally reluctant to cut defense spending significantly although the war in Iraq is over and the war in Afghanistan is winding down, and Democrats are generally reluctant to cut entitlements significantly although such programs account for more than 60 percent of federal spending.
As for taxation, Obama recently proposed extending the Bush income tax cuts for everyone making less than $400,000 a year, up from his initial limit of $250,000. However, House Republicans already voted down a proposal from Boehner himself where the threshold was $1 million, and political observers say they are likely to do the same with Obama's more inclusive number.
Both Parks and Olive said their respective governmental bodies will be left searching for money if spending cuts do occur, although both also said they should be OK because of previous hard work by their employees.
The big hit for the city, Olive said, could be a loss of about $1 million from the water treatment plant due to changing interest rates on the municipal bonds that paid for it. But since the city has such a good credit rating, she said, the plant was already getting a discount of about $10 million on those interest rates, meaning it would still be $9 million in the black.
For Lee County, Parks said, cuts could come in the form of reduced funding for roads or health and social services. But he praised County Manager John Crumpton for putting the county in a position to deal with spending cuts going forward without having to raise local taxes.
"(National politicians) seem to think we've got deep pockets down here," Parks said. "But we've been responsible with our funds, and we've got a tremendous county manager who has done a great job getting his people to take care of what needs to be taken care of so we can do what we need to do without raising taxes."
Broadway Mayor Donald Andrews stayed away from playing a political blame game, also noting that Broadway doesn't get any federal funding and doesn't currently have any federal grants. However, he said, he's just as anxious as anyone else for a deal to be made because of the helpful effects the expiring tax cuts have had for local families and businesses in this poor economy.
"I'm optimistic that it may be one of these 12th-hour deals, but hopefully, they'll remember the art of compromise and find a solution that works for everyone," he said.

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Hamburg, NY – Hilbert College's Edward Sarcione has been named as the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference's Offensive Player of the Week for men's soccer with the week ending October 3, 2010. The Hawks played only one game during the week, but the efforts of Sarcione (and his team mates) did not go unnoticed. The sophomore forward from Eden high school scored both goals for the Hawks in their 2-2 tie with Franciscan University of Steubenville on October 2. He first found net off a penalty kick just before half time, sending the teams to intermission with a 1-1 score. Sarcione's second goal came with less than one second left in regulation when he headed a crossed ball past the goalie for the draw. After an additional 20 minutes of play, the game ended in a 2-2 stalemate.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

LUMPFISH or LUMP CAVIAR or
Lumpfish is a North Atlantic Ocean fish. The caviar is largely produced in Iceland. The roe is small, hard, and crunchy. The eggs are dyed black, red or yellow-gold. The food coloring is not stable, however and when used to garnish foods, the color tends to bleed (especially into moist foods like sour cream). It is readily available, and is generally used when one is seeking an inexpensive solution.

Roe does not officially become caviar until it is salted. The Russian term for "little salt," referring to a method of delicately salting fine caviar. The less salt, the better the caviar; similarly, better-quality caviar requires less salting, so malossol indicates the best. Less salt also makes the caviar more perishable. Malossol is as little as 3.5% salt (by weight), up to 5%; compared to 10% for commercial barrel-salted caviar or 11% for supermarket lumpfish caviar. Salt preserves the freshness and also enhances the flavor.
The word "malossol" on the tin indicates that little salt has been used to process the caviar. This implies a finer caviar, where the taste does not need much enhancement. Photo courtesy CaviarMore.com.
MASAGO or MASAGO CAVIAR or
Also called capelin caviar: roe from the smelt fish. The eggs are small, fluorescent and mild in flavor. They are used for sushi—in gunkan-maki (boat sushi) shown in the photo at right, as a garnish for California rolls and other rolls, shown in the photo at the top of the page and to garnish other foods, including deviled eggs.
Masago roe sushi.
Acipenser naccarii is a cousin of Caspian caviar. The fish swam in prehistory in the rivers of what is now Spain. It light grey eggs are most likened to Beluga caviar, although it is a much smaller fish. The Beluga reaches a weight of __ kilos in Naccarii can begin harvesting at 18 years of age, It has intramuscular fat, which makes the meat more flavorful. It can grow to 100 kilos, although commercially it is farmed to 8 to 20 kilos in weight. If you see Beluga caviar for sale, confirm if it is Caspian Beluga or Spanish Naccarii.

At this time the world's only certified organic caviar farm, Riofrio Caviar Farm in the Sierra Nevada region of southern Spain, produces its caviar from the Adriatic sturgeon (Acipenser naccarii). Riofrio's is considered the only true organic caviar farm because unlike most other sturgeon fisheries, no hormones are introduced to the controlled environment to speed up the maturity rate of the fish. The fish are also contained in pens with fresh mountain water that is untreated with additives (e.g., antibacterials). It gets high grades for the quality, based on the stock selection, breeding process, clean living environment, freshness and overall quality.
Organic caviar is available at CaviarStar.com.
Sold under the brand name Pure Organic Caviar, it is prepared with organic salt in the traditional malossol style.
The Osetra sturgeon or Russian Sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) is a migratory fish which spawns in rivers each spring. It is a medium-size sturgeon, and can weigh up to 440 pounds. The female does not mature to produce eggs for 12 to 15 years. The species is native to Germany's major rivers, and the osetra sturgeon was a banquet fish for royalty throughout the Middle Ages. The caviar has a gentle pop and a light, nutty flavor (hazelnut) that pairs well with Champagne, Grüner Veltliner and Riesling.
Osetra has an oilier, silkier, melts-in-your-mouth texture than Beluga. Many caviar connoisseurs prefer Osetra to Beluga (including us!). Wild Osetra caviar is harvested mainly in Russian and Iran; it is farmed around the world.* The eggs can be golden yellow (see Golden Osetra) to brownish in color, and are of medium size (about 3mm diameter).

*Asia, Bulgaria, France, Israel, Italy, and Spain are some of the larger producers.

FORTWALTON BEACH — Crestview High School freshman pitcher Taylor Rolison flirted with perfection Monday as the Bulldogs opened the District 2-6A softball tournament.
Rolison walked just one batter on the way to the first no-hitter of her high school career to lead Crestview to a 4-0 win over Choctawhatchee.
Photo gallery>>> Rolison leads Bulldogs past Choctaw in tournament opener.
Rolison dominated the Indians striking out five batters and allowing just two balls out of the infield.
"I didn't realize I was throwing a no-hitter," Rolison said. "I was just throwing a normal game.
"It makes me happy and proud for my team."
Choctaw's lone base runner – Sydney Parker, who drew a one-out walk in the fourth inning, was thrown out trying to get back to first base after Macie Gray lined out to Amber Bell at second base.
"Taylor's too young to be scared of anything," Bulldog coach Kathy Combest said. "She just goes out there and throws the ball."
Crestview scored what turned out to be the winning run in the bottom of the second inning.
Bulldog catcher Kelsea Dardon singled up the middle to lead off the inning and was replaced on the bases by courtesy runner Bailey Estep.
Estep moved to third base as Parys Alexander was safe on a Choctaw error. Estep scored on a sacrifice fly by Ragan Sowell.
The Bulldogs (17-9) took advantage of a pair of Indian errors in the fourth inning to plate two runs.
Alexander, who walked and Megan Clark, who reached on an error, scored as Kayla Kelch reached on an error.
Crestview scored its final run in the sixth inning as Kylene Day was safe on an error and later scored on a Kelch base hit.
On the day the Bulldogs had just five hits, but the Indians committed seven errors to go along with five walks and one hit batter by Indian pitcher Jelly Johnson.
Dardon had two hits to lead the Bulldog attack. Kelch, Rolison and Molly Woodward had the other Crestview hits.
"We just didn't hit the ball crisp enough," Combest said. "It seems like it was dead or flat or something."
Choctaw coach Grant Keen was quick to credit Rolison for her outstanding performance.
"She pitched a really good game," he said. "I know she's young, but she's a really good pitcher and she's got a big future ahead of her.
"We had a few errors that cost three of the (Bulldog) runs, but our offense just didn't show up today. I couldn't get runners on base, and if I can't get runners on I can't produce runs."
Choctaw finishes the season with a 2-22 record.
●Crestview 15, Pine Forest 0: The Crestview High School softball team closed out the regular season with a 15-0 win over Pine Forest on Friday. The game was called after three innings on the mercy rule.
Kristin Bufkin was the winning pitcher for the Bulldogs in spinning the shutout.
Molly Woodward and Kayla Kelch led the Crestview offensive attack with 3-for-3 performances. Woodward had a triple and a double. Kelch had a triple and two singles.
Bufkin, Megan Clark and Kelsea Dardon were all 2-for-2. Dardon had a two-run homer.
Ragan Sowell also had two hits for Crestview.

http://www.thechristadelphians.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=3100For those of you who might think that I am closed-minded to Tony's position, or that I don't understand it, see the link above.
Your #2 above likewise is complete nonsense. You stated in #2 above this:"2. It is not impossible for an adjective to go beyond the meaning of its noun form. For instance, "hideous" derives from "hisda", meaning "fear". However, when someone calls something hideous, they don't have in mind "pertaining to fear" as the meaning."Tony's reply: Dear reading audience, do you see the error in Gabe's logic in #2? The nounal form of hideous is not "fear." The noun of hideous is according to the Mirriam Webster dictionary: "hideousness." The noun form of hideous is also not hisda nor fear. Hideous cannot be greater than that which pertains to hideousness.
Tony's reply: Yea the same majority of Greek "scholars" who translated "aionion kolasin" as "eternal torment"!
LOL! What a bunch of idiotic losers. Gabe, you can't even understand the most basic grammar.
Why do you think you would understand what I tell you about Timaeus, Gabe, not Timeaus. There is no Timeaus.
News Flash for Gabe . . . we are not required to understand the philosophies which Paul tells us to beware.
The aeons are not "is" but are "was" and "will be" for they are not eternal but are constantly moving.
When Barclay said "aionios is . . . "the word of deity" and "applied to God" he is meaning Romans 16:26 as in "the eonian God." So in fact he is telling us that "God" is modifying "eonian." And when he said that it describes "the life of God" he is telling us that the life of God modifies aionios to mean eternal.
I don't know if anyone else here feels the same, but I personally would love to see this thread locked, or shut down; the "put downs" between the two here imo; are uncalled for.
GorgeousFunction: adjective Etymology: Middle English gorgeouse, from Middle French gorgias elegant, perhaps from gorgias wimple, from gorge throatDate: 15th centuryProbably, from Latin gurges, whirlpool, abyss, or chaos before creation!"Lost in the vast abysses of space and time."peacemaker
I believe I may be dealing with someone who is not capable of logical reasoning. So I will post this for those of you who can use the brain God gave you. No slight to you Gabe.
Gabe, gorgeous does not pertain to that which is gorge. That is your illogical assertion. I wish I could come down to your level so you could understand the most basic grammar they begin to teach in 3rd grade. I will try to make this as simple as I can so you can understand it.
Gabe, I realize you are incapable of understanding this. I don't say that to be mean. It is just that I have dealt with you over the years and I realize you are incapable of thinking properly. So I will answer the above two points for those who God has given the ability to properly think
LOL! What a bunch of idiotic losers. Gabe, you can't even understand the most basic grammar.
Plato was not contrasting time with aion/aionion but was showing their likeness you nitwit. Learn to read the philosophy Paul told us to avoid.
peacemaker,Fortigurn is a fine student of the Bible. Sure, he has his biased lenses that he looks through, but don't we all to some degree?
Dear readers,To say that eonian pertains to the eon or eons is not the same as saying Gorgeous pertains to the throat.To say that Gorgeous pertains to gorge is to say that eonian pertains to "to breathe" since most likely aeon originally meant "to breathe" just as originally *mabye* Gorgeous derived itself from "gorge".When the New Testament was written aion was never used of that which is "eternal." That would be an oxymoron.Age has a beginning and an end. To say that an age can be endless is a contradiction in terms. To say "endless age" is an oxymoron. In the New Testament the eon is the longest segment of time but not eternal.In the New Testament aionion/eonian is that which pertains to the eon or eons as the case may be.In the New Testament psuchikos (soulish) is that which pertains to the soul psuchi.1Co 2:14 Now the soulish (psuchikos) man is not receiving those things which are of the spirit of God, for they are stupidity to him, and he is not able to know them, seeing that they are spiritually examined."In the New Testament Heavenly (ouranios) as in "your heavenly Father" (Matt.5:48) is the Father which pertains to heaven (ouranos). The word "heavenly" when connected with "Father" is not all of a sudden changed to "transcending heaven."Likewise Eonian (aionios) is that which pertains to the eons aionos. When eonian is connected with God (Rom.16:26) it does not all of a sudden mean "eon transcending." It means God pertaining to the eons.No eon is eternal. Again that would be a contradiction in terms. Eternal eon is an oxymoron. God is not the author of confusion. The Bible says all the eons end. Therefore there is no eternal eon. It is impossible.Furthermore, for those of you who wish to go deeper into this, this person did her Phd. dissertation on aion and aionios in Philo and the early Greek writers as well as the early church fathers and the New Testament and found: "In the non-biblical usage, Dr. Keizer notes three distinct meanings of aion: (1) "life," (2) "time," and (3) "entirety," or a wholeness or completeness or a totality relating to a function of time. (Hence the title of her study.) She notes that the biblical aion is a creation of God (having no divinity, as pagan philosophy put forth). Her study found that neither Philo, nor later Church Fathers use aion to refer to the eternity of God. 2 Dr. Keizer pointed out some conclusions regarding the usage and meaning of aion in the New Testament: 3"You can read about it here:http://www.askelm.com/newsletter/l200501.htmCol 2:8 Beware that no one shall be despoiling you through philosophy and empty seduction, in accord with human tradition, in accord with the elements of the world, and not in accord with Christ,I am through answering Gabe directly. Beware, friends of the philosophy of the world.

40 years of forgivenessWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | firstname.lastname@example.com
Originally published Sept. 16, 2011.
The Rev. Robert McGrath — "Father Bob" to his legions of friends and relatives — was born to be a Catholic priest. As early as third grade, he remembers using crayons to draw a cross on the back of a sheet that had a hole cut for his head to fit through. With that homemade vestment, he would celebrate pretend Mass. He was an altar boy around that time, and was struck by a particular experience with his mother, who was stricken with multiple sclerosis.
"In 1949, we drove to Canton, Ohio, to see a woman named Mrs. Wise who was thought to have stigmata," McGrath said. "My mother had a long interview with her and she told my mother she would live a long time even with the disease. She lived until 1967. Hearing about this experience throughout my growing up years has helped me to have a great faith in both mystery and miracle."
On Sept. 11, 2011, McGrath celebrated the exact 40th anniversary of his ordination. A Mass of Celebration took place at Servant Church of St. Alexander in Farmington Hills, Mich. McGrath is a relation of mine by marriage; he presided over the blessing of our wedding and baptized both of our sons.
It was a beautiful day, and that was fortuitous; so many people attended the Mass that it was moved outside to accommodate the hundreds in attendance. The elements of the Mass took place under a stately gazebo.
The Mass began with the acknowledgement that McGrath's Sept. 11 anniversary was shared with the somber anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks. The theme for the Mass was forgiveness.
Fighting Irish
McGrath never left behind his childhood aspirations. He attended Central Catholic High School in Livonia. He earned a master's degree at the University of Detroit Mercy and eventually became a member of the Holy Cross Fathers at the University of Notre Dame.
"After receiving my master's degree in theology from Notre Dame, a new decision had to be made," McGrath said. "The phenomenon of the day was that a great many men were leaving the priesthood after ordination and the leadership of the community became very cautious before granting final vows and ordination.
"Rather than waiting for an unknown amount of time to be approved, I decided to transfer to the Archdiocese of Detroit because that was where I grew up. I was eventually ordained on Sept. 11, 1971, in St. Francis de Sales Church."
After a five-year stay at St. Rita's in Holly, Mich., McGrath served as pastor to St. Francis de Sales Church in Detroit for 20 years. He then moved to St. Benedict's in Highland Park for more than 10 years and is now in his fifth year at St. Alexander.
Clear skies
On Sept. 11, 2011, we participated in the outdoor Mass celebrating McGrath's 40th anniversary under the bluest skies I have seen all summer. A light cloud cover drifted above us, but the blue was clear and seemed to extend to the heavens.
As the service, through readings, psalms, prayers and songs, focused on forgiveness, the ties to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks ran through my mind. In the Toledo Free Press special edition the week of the 10th anniversary, Myrta Gschaar, who lost her husband in the World Trade Center collapse, talked about forgiving and the closure the process brought her.
How many of us, even those of us with no direct human loss, can say we forgive those who carried out the radical suicide (homicide) mission?
Listening to examples of Jesus Christ and his teachings of forgiveness certainly softened my heart and inspired me to strive for some personal, small-scale forgiveness, but I'm not ready to say I forgive the perpetrators of the attacks.
During the Prayers of the Faithful, an airliner, descending to Detroit Metro Airport, flew over our heads, low enough to see its underbelly with mechanical clarity.
I was not the only one to see that plane and have chills of déjà vu, especially after a week of seeing 10-year-old footage of American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 flying into the North and South Trade Center Towers. At that moment, tempted by the irrational impulse to grab my family and pull them to the ground to cover them, forgiveness was the last emotion on my checklist. It was just a moment, and it illustrates a great weakness on my part, but for those few seconds, nothing McGrath or Saint Peter or Jesus himself could say would have persuaded me to forgive the murderers who so efficiently changed our country and our mindset.
The Communion song "On Eagle's Wings" and the recessional song "Let There Be Peace on Earth" helped wash away the intense, negative emotions.
"Let there be peace on Earth
And let it begin with me.
Let us walk with each other, in perfect harmony."
There are great men like Father Bob who sing those words with great conviction, and there are flawed men like me who are always just a bit out of tune. For 40 years, Father Bob has embodied the teachings, so he has a head start. I may not catch up, but I will never be able to claim I lacked the proper model.
Father Bob McGrath died April 10. He continued to deliver services until the final Sunday of his life.

These two look pretty good for both just getting off of duty, they are both looking to get off anyway they can. I let the boys get to know one another and Brad is the first to get a rise out of Maddock with motorcycle talk. All I have to do is sit back and wait to see what else gets excited. They both have a need for speed, and young Maddock also has a need to slip his cock between sweet Brad's lips. Maddock is still pretty new to this whole fucking other guys thing, but he has taken to it like a duck to water. Brad's tongue works its magic on the fireman's pole and suddenly Maddock can't take it anymore. He slings Brad onto his stomach, and plunges balls-deep into Brad's ass without even so much as a please. Our good Sailor takes it all in stride, grips the pillow and takes it like a man. I think we all know how this ends, what you all don't know is who's dry cleaning bill I no

To The Editor:
Vermont's Constitution written in 1777 was one year before our nation declared its independence in 1776 and 12 years before our national Constitution was written in 1787. The year 1777 was especially important for Vermont. We declared our independence from England and New York and prevailed at the Battle of Bennington which led to the Battle of Saratoga, the turning point of the Revolutionary War.
On July 2, 1777, a convention of delegates from the east and west side of Vermont met in Windsor to write a constitution. Borrowing phrases from the U.S. Declaration of Independence, Article 1 stated: "that all men are born equally free and independent, and have certain natural, inherent and unalienable rights among which are the enjoying and defending of life and liberty; acquiring, possessing and protection property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety." The first article concluded with a clause prohibiting slavery, Vermont being the first state to do so.
Vermont was also the first state to adopt universal male suffrage. Article 8 provided: "that all elections ought to be free, and all free men have a right to elect offices, or be elected into office." McMaster, in his History of the United States, wrote that under most of the early state constitutions, "none but property owning, tax paying men could give that consent from which government derives its just powers. Nowhere, save in Vermont, did manhood suffrage exist. Elsewhere no man voted who did not pay a property tax, or rent a house, or own a specified number of acres or have a specified yearly income." Other rights guaranteed by the Vermont 1777 Constitution included freedom of speech, press and assembly, protection from search and seizure, and the right to bear arms. Article 16 read: "frequent recurrence of fundamental principals, and the firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, industry and frugality, are absolutely necessary to preserve the blessings of liberty, and keep government free."

Aug. 5, 2008
Northridge, Calif. - The Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, officially known as the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, will be held August 8-24. Seilala Sua, an assistant track & field coach at Cal State Northridge, says she will be watching almost every minute of the Olympic Games.
Sua was a member of the United States team at two Olympic Games in the discus (2002 in Sydney, 2004 in Athens). A 2001 UCLA graduate, Sua is the winningest athlete in NCAA track and field history. Sua won seven NCAA titles and was a 14-time All-American. After UCLA, she continued her remarkable athletic career (discus, shot put) both nationally and internationally.
Q: Can you tell us about how exciting and honored it was to be a member of the United States Olympic teams in 2000 (Sydney, Australia) and in 2004 (Athens, Greece)?
A: "Making the team was a huge honor. My first Olympics was in 2000 in Sydney, and I was so excited since I had competed in Sydney before at the World Junior Championships. I had always wanted to go back to Australia. The people there were so nice and enthusiastic. What stood out for me in 2000 were the opening ceremonies. Walking into the stadium and everybody cheering in the stadium was memorable. Everybody in the stadium liked the American team. There was so much going on; being a part of Team America and having so much national pride. That was a big deal."
Q: Did you have family and friends join you in Sydney in 2000?
A: "My mom and sister saw me compete. That was pretty exciting to have them there to help support me. They were very proud. I also had a lot of hometown support from Florida. Everybody was sending me congratulations for making the team; stuffed animals, cards, etc. I still have my opening ceremonies uniform. The United States gave us so much stuff; a lot of Team USA clothing."
Q: In 2004, you were a member of the United States team in Athens, Greece. What memories do you have about your second trip to the Olympics?
A: "The most memorable aspect was the history behind the Olympics being held in Greece. You could see all the history just walking around the city. The streets, the buildings, and the people reflected the Olympic spirit. The people were so sweet."
Q: You had great success at UCLA, and competing on the national and international levels. How would you compare those journeys in comparison to being an Olympian?
A: "That was probably the peak of my career. Competing and being there at the Olympics."
Q: Will you be watching the Olympics from start to finish?
A: "Of course. I'm excited. Now that I am not competing, I enjoy being a spectator. When I'm watching the opening ceremonies, I'll have a feeling of national pride, and know that I was a part of that great experience. I'll miss being a part of Team USA because it was such a big honor. Here in the United States we value Olympians so much. I'll think we'll have a very strong American discus team, and I'll be following their efforts very closely. But I'll be following all the other sports. I love to watch volleyball, gymnastics, and basketball. I'll be in front of the TV every day."

Bought this at the Boot Barn booth at NFR and LOVE IT. It is flattering and cute and I love the detail on it. The studs on the shirts aren't too crazy so you can dress it up with a bling belt or keep it casual. I wear the sleeves rolled up, but it looks great down. It's one of my favorite western shirts that I own. Can't go wrong with Rock 47 line.
