|From the ground, it looks as if this route may finish with a second pitch. So, I clipped the sling anchors, and continued leading up the crack above it to the roof. I pulled out of the roof to find... a dark, shallow water streak that looked like a crack from the ground. I ended up having to downclimb 15 feet or so of good 5.9 handcrack. Honestly, its a shame the anchors aren't 15 feet higher, that crack section is better than the rest of the climb.

|Worthwhile. Instead of rapping from the slings at the top of the crack, better to do the horizontal traverse right to a great gear belay.

|Don't clip the slings and lower. Not sure why they are there and can the slings be removed? Do the next pitch but watch for rope drag.

|I wasn't sure how to finish this climb. I passed the suspect middle anchor, climbed the sweet handcrack, and then groveled/crawled right for a few feet. Then I sat (actually layed) there for about 10 minutes trying to figure out where to go. There's a shallow dihedral that looks like it has no protection straight up, or some intimidating no-feet, hand jamming that continues right. As I was out of hand-sized gear, I ultimately committed to the dihedral (which actually protects quite nicely with RPs). Does anyone know which way is the proper finish?

|Continue with the good hand jamming with bad feet to the right, until you do an awkward pull up over a flake sort of thing, and belay in a hole of sorts (if I remember correctly).

Do Not Pass Go (Paperback)
Email or call for price
Special Order
When Deet's father is arrested for drug use, Deet cannot believe it. His easygoing, loving father isn't an addict But Dad was working two jobs to make more money and taking pills to stay awake during the night shift. And now he's in jail. Hurt, scared, and angry, Deet doesn't want to see his father in prison. But when Mom goes back to work and no longer has the time, Deet decides to start visiting his dad after school. It's scary at first, but as he adjusts to the routine and learns more about the prisoners and their lives, Deet begins to realize that prison isn't necessarily the horrible, violent place of movies and nightmares. Told from Deet's perspective, Do Not Pass Go sheds light on the tumultuous experience of having a parent in jail and gives insight into the everyday lives of prison inmates and the stories behind what brought them there.

Cooperatives Working Together announced today that it accepted an export assistance bid last week for the sale of cheese, and another for the sale of anhydrous milkfat.
Both bids are from Dairy Farmers of America, Kansas City, Mo. The first bid is for the export of 165,000 pounds (75 metric tons) of Cheddar cheese to
CWT will pay an export bonus to the bidder, once completion of the cheese and milkfat shipments is verified.
These accepted bids increase CWT's year-to-date export obligations for cheese to 11.2 million pounds (5,053 metric tons), and its YTD anhydrous milkfat export obligations to 4.49 million pounds (2,039 metric tons). In addition, CWT's YTD butter exports stand at 12.9 million pounds (5,882 metric tons), and its YTD whole milk powder exports are 3.8 million pounds (1,738 metric tons). Since the program started in 2003, CWT has helped export 600 million pounds, milk equivalent.
Previous shipments facilitated by CWT's export assistance program have gone to Algeria, Barbados, Denmark, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, Germany, Guatemala, Honduras, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Mexico, Morocco, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, Oman, Qatar, Panama, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Trinidad, Tunisia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam.
Through CWT's Export Assistance program, transactions occur as overseas buyers are found for the products, and as CWT's members bid to be compensated for selling cheese, butter, anhydrous milk fat and whole milk powder to those importers.
Cooperatives Working Together is being funded by dairy cooperatives and individual dairy farmers, who are contributing 10 cents per hundredweight assessment on their milk production through December 2007. The money raised by CWT's investment is being apportioned among several supply reduction programs to improve the national all milk price. For more on CWT's activities, visit www.cwt.coop.

2. It's hard
To get your head around. We go into national stages of grief. Denial is the first phase for many. We just can't cope. It is beyond us. We can and should limit our exposure to the graphic horror or such an event. Try to absorb it slowly and learn the details at your own pace. After, Sandy, and the Mall shooting, our country as a whole has taken a big hit. Even if we are not on the front lines I still put out energy in empathy and sorrow for our fellow Countrymens' great grief, and loss. ( I don't know if the English is correct on that. I suspect it is not.)
We need to psychologically duck and cover, for now. I think I know what you mean. I feel numb.
What would be the correct grammar for countrymen possessive? I don't think it looks right. Sorry.

4. I haven't been watching the news
it's all so insane. We live in an insane country with angry disfunctional people. 88 guns per 100 population. I have a good idea of why it's like this what with constant noise from the radio and tv spewing fear and hate for 30+ years...defunding of schools, music, sports, libraries, art...it isn't hard to understand.
It's hard to stay positive sometimes.

7. I don't think people realize that mentally ill does not always mean
violent. I never realized there are so many people that believe that all mentally ill people are violent. They refuse to hear the truth about it too. That is the part that frustrates me.
I am one of the lucky ones though. I finally got the right diagnosis and the right meds that work best for me. I make it a point not to run out of my meds, but even if I wasn't on them, I was never a danger to anyone. I cannot believe how many people believe ALL mentally ill people are potential mass shooters, ticking time bombs waiting to happen. I wish more mental health professionals would point out that not all mentally ill people are likely to become violent.

11. I have never been a violent person
even before I was diagnosed and put on meds.
I make sure to take my meds every day, the only thing that would result if I didn't take them would be severe anxiety and depression. I wouldn't be a danger to anyone but myself.

12. Many of the posters talking down mental illness in GD are scared and unaware
Fear is a power motivator of conservative thinking. The mass murder presents them with existential fear that they've got to reduce if they are to find peace of mind. They'll swallow any idea that does that. If they don't already have a favorite agenda to link to, the dangers of the mentally ill is as handy as any other.
Maybe I missed something or maybe I wanted to miss it, but it seems to me that today the blaming all or unspecified mental illness is less common. I think yours and others' posts did have some good effect.
I'm more concerned about 'US' and how we are coping.
And I just keep repeating...
It's about THEIR fear.
Their fear isn't based in reality.
This about their phantoms,
and not about "ME", at all.

Donald Burr recently left air-taxi hopeful Pogo to "pursue other opportunities," according to a company statement. Burr, founder of People Express, and Robert Crandall, controversial chief of American Airlines, were fierce competitors in the 1980s. The pair established Pogo in May 2004 to develop a national on-demand, regional-based air-taxi network using hundreds of very light twinjets. Burr was named CEO and Crandall was appointed president at that time. With the departure of Burr, Crandall now holds both titles. The company did not realize its goal of getting off the ground this year with the first group of an intended 75 Adam A700s, as certification of the new very light jet has slipped to late next year. Pogo executive v-p Cameron Burr (Donald Burr's son), told AIN that the A700s are still on order "in the form of a deposit agreement [north of $1 million]," which Adam and Pogo expect to lead to a final "purchase agreement."

A Libyan militia leader has pleaded not guilty in a US federal court to a terrorism charge in the 2012 attack on the US diplomatic compound in Benghazi that killed four Americans.
Ahmed Abu Khatallah was transferred to the US District Court in Washington this morning, from a Navy warship where he had been held since he was captured on 15 June by US special operations forces in Libya.
He was charged at an afternoon hearing with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists resulting in death in the attack that killed US Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi.
The attack on 11 September 2012 triggered a political fire-storm for US President Barack Obama.
Republicans accused his administration of misrepresenting the circumstances and of lax protection for diplomats.
The charge against Khatallah carries a maximum penalty of life in prison, the Justice Department said.
The department said it intended to file additional charges shortly.
Khatallah was transferred to US soil by helicopter, a US official said.
Federal charges filed against him in July 2013 but kept under court seal until this month also included killing a person on US property and a firearms violation.

JUDY WOODRUFF: The transition that may not be a change at the Pentagon. Ray Suarez has the story.
RAY SUAREZ: Robert Gates says he's been counting the days until he gives up the job of secretary of defense. At least for now, he will have to stop counting.
The man named by President Bush to replace Donald Rumsfeld two years ago will, by all accounts, be reappointed Pentagon chief by President-elect Obama.
But the Gates choice has not been greeted with unanimous acclaim, especially among those who backed Mr. Obama's call for a quick exit from Iraq.
We get two views now of the impending Gates appointment. Retired Brigadier General David McGinnis campaigned for Mr. Obama. He had a 29-year career in the Army and National Guard and served as director of strategic plans and analysis for reserve affairs at the Pentagon.
Peter Feaver served on the National Security Council staff during the Bush administration. He's now a professor of political science and public policy at Duke University and is the director of the Triangle Institute for Security Studies.
General McGinnis, what's the message President-elect Obama is sending by asking Secretary of Defense Gates to stay on in his cabinet?
BRIG. GEN. DAVID MCGINNIS (Ret.), U.S. Army National Guard: I think there's a message he intends to send, which is stability within the defense organization and in dealing with the operational issues overseas.
However, the other message he's sending, which concerns me, is he's agreeing with a myth that has been around for a long time that Republicans are strong on defense and Democrats are not strong on defense. This myth has been around since the decision to put a Republican in the Clinton administration, with Senator Cohen back in 1997.
And I think it sends a bad message, because we do have capable individuals in the national security arena who can do that job. And the American people voted for change, and they voted for change across government.
So the issue is one of management versus perception and stability within the national security arena. And my main concern is about management.
Keeping Gates sends message
RAY SUAREZ: Well, Professor Feaver, you heard two messages identified. What's your read on both of them?
PETER FEAVER, Former National Security Council Staff: I think it's a shrewd move on President-elect Obama's part. Most people -- I think virtually everyone in Washington believes that Secretary Gates has done an excellent job as secretary of defense in a very difficult time period, and keeping him on is acknowledging that he's done well.
And this is a very difficult time to be secretary of defense. There's a need for continuity. We're in the midst of two wars. And I think that appointing Gates or reappointing Gates sends a calming message.
Now, General McGinnis is right that Americans tend to trust Republicans more than they trust Democrats on national security, and this appointment may be a nod in that direction.
But I also agree with General McGinnis that there's competent people on the Democratic bench, and I'm confident that the people underneath Gates -- the appointed positions underneath Gates -- will be filled by a number of those people -- the Kurt Campbells, the Michele Flournoys, John Hamres of the world. Those are very capable people, and they'll serve in lower-level positions in the Defense Department.
RAY SUAREZ: Well, let's talk about what happens when you keep on a secretary as a bridge between two administrations. Who stays and who goes at the lower levels? What kind of jobs are we talking about at the Pentagon?
BRIG. GEN. DAVID MCGINNIS: Well, first of all, that's going to be a discussion between the secretary and President-elect Obama. And it's a comfort issue. But to create change in the Pentagon while you're still managing the war, you're going to have to change a number of positions in the Pentagon.
My colleague just said that Secretary Gates did a great job, and he has done a great job orchestrating the elements of power and using military power overseas.
But we have serious problems in our military services, especially the Army, Navy, and Air Force, serious readiness problems in the area of personnel, equipment, and we have a tremendous fiscal problem in the Department of Defense, which the GAO has reported on, other people have reported on, and these issues have to be addressed, as well.
And so, from my perspective, if we're going to keep the secretary and allow the secretary to play in major issues of strategy, that's fine. But people under him, including his deputy who managed the building, I think are going to have to change.
And I think we're going to have to be fairly, fairly dramatic in those changes, from the I.G. to the comptroller to the policy position and probably, most important to me -- and, as you know, I do a lot of work with veterans -- the undersecretary of personnel and readiness.
Questions about staff turnover
RAY SUAREZ: But you heard Professor Feaver acknowledge that there is that confidence problem that Democrats have out in the country about managing national security. But then he said, well, but you should keep in mind that all these other positions will be filled by people of President-elect Obama's choosing who have been advising him along, and they are capable people.
Well, does that make this a symbolic more than a mechanical matter?
BRIG. GEN. DAVID MCGINNIS: It is. It is a symbolic matter, and it's an important symbolic matter, appears to be, at least because of the fact that it's under discussion. It's got to be -- it's got to be.
However, I'm not really sure that the decision's been made yet. And some of the information that I'm hearing -- not from the campaign, but from other sources who have talked to people who are allegedly close to the campaign -- that there's still a lot of serious discussion about which positions are going to be filled and which aren't, and that's what concerns me.
RAY SUAREZ: So, Professor, you heard the general suggest that Secretary Gates may say, "Look, if I'm going to stay, I need these other people to stay, too," and, really, it won't be just the stability at the top, but stability up and down the flow chart of the Pentagon.
PETER FEAVER: No, I expect that most of the people underneath him will move on. Now, I think a number of them are extremely capable and could serve very well in an Obama administration.
I think the assistant secretary, Mike Vickers, is very capable, and he would be able to serve in either administration, but there's plenty of other slots that will be filled by the Democratic team. And I don't think the Obama team needs to worry on that score.
I do agree that there's a symbolism in this move that hasn't been stressed yet that needs to be, and that is he's -- President-elect Obama may be signaling that the change that is coming is course corrections rather than abrupt about-faces, that he's not going to make the mistake that many people thought Bush made, arriving with an anything-but-Clinton, ABC, mentality.
Obama is saying he's not going to arrive with an ABB mentality, anything-but-Bush, where he'll throw babies out with the bathwater.
Some defense policies continue
RAY SUAREZ: But, Professor, didn't President-elect Obama run very hard against the Bush record, particularly in this area of national defense?
PETER FEAVER: He did. During the campaign, during a partisan season, he leveled a very partisan critique that perhaps was exaggerated, and maybe part of what you're hearing now in the trial balloons that are being surfaced, and, indeed, the reports that Secretary Gates would say, that perhaps that critique was overdone, and perhaps Obama meant it when he also said on the campaign that, once elected, he would review the situation and pursue a responsible national security policy.
Look, this has been a time of bitter critique about Bush national security policy. But in my view, we've actually had a bipartisan national security policy; we just haven't had bipartisanship in support of it.
You look down the line at a number of Bush's policies, a number of the ones that Gates has implemented. They're likely to be continued in the next administration.
Gates may negotiate terms of stay
RAY SUAREZ: General, are you talking to people who are having a "What's wrong with this picture?" moment, as the new president selects the man selected by his predecessor to run a war that he said from the beginning was a mistake?
BRIG. GEN. DAVID MCGINNIS: I think it's not just the war in Iraq. It's also -- he's also looking for him to help manage through Afghanistan, if he stays. And that's important.
And I do know that President-elect Obama is concerned and is going to give a lot of time to making the right decision on who leads the Pentagon.
But more so, he's concerned about those who serve, both civilians and military in uniform, who are affected by the Pentagon. And that is going to be, I think, the crux of the decision that he makes, ultimately, when this is all aired out.
I don't think it's made yet. And I think that we are -- part of this dialogue right here is part of the debate that they're expecting to occur by floating these names out.
RAY SUAREZ: Very, very quickly, Professor, before we go. Does Secretary Gates have a lot of negotiating power in the terms under which he stays, do you feel?
PETER FEAVER: I think he does. I think, if Obama were not to nominate Gates at this point, it would become a real crisis in what has otherwise been a smooth and even brilliant transition.
RAY SUAREZ: Professor Feaver, General McGinnis, gentlemen, thank you both.
BRIG. GEN. DAVID MCGINNIS: You're welcome, Ray.
PETER FEAVER: Thank you.

text: Metalship websize conducted an interview with Karl Sanders of South Carolina-based extreme technical death metallers NILE last month in Tokyo, Japan. You can now watch the chat below.NILE will tour the United States once again this March and April, with 28 shows supported by three of the best local bands in every market. NILE will play two massive sets with music spanning their prolific, twenty-year career. "In order to commemorate our 20th year as a band," states Karl Sanders, "we want to bring NILE and all metal fans an evening of NILE music that spans our entire career and play two full sets with only a brief intermission. "After years of many package tours, the necessary set time restrictions have often meant that NILE's had to streamline our set. Fans didn't always get to hear the songs they came to hear. Thankfully, some of those classic NILE songs we have been itching to play for years will now get a chance to be heard live. We are extremely fired up." "Another facet of this tour which was very important to us," continues Sanders, "we have asked promoters to include the best three local bands from their respective areas on the bill. Supporting local bands in each city is a way for us to give something back to younger bands and the metal scene. We've asked promoters to keep ticket prices low, so that fans of all ages can come and join us for an evening of metal. "In these difficult times of our recessionary economy, an evening of killer metal shouldn't have to break the bank. NILE are going to do our part: biting the bullet and rolling the dice to bring metal fans in the USA an unforgettable evening with NILE for a reasonable ticket price." NILE's seventh full-length album, "At The Gate Of Sethu", sold 3,800 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 131 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD landed at position No. 2 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

(Microsoft Game Studios)
US: 21 Jul 2010
There's no doubt in my mind that Limbo is art. Just look at the thing! It's all super-artsy and stuff, with its evocative yet minimalist art style and bleak, moody, creepy, disturbing look. From moment one the game stirred emotions in me, and I think that's what art needs to do to be art. I felt intrigued by the mysterious world and this strange boy I was controlling. The shadow-heavy world lingers just on the edge of being inscrutable, but never leaves you in doubt about the important things. And that horrifying, damnable spider from the early part of the game? Right now it has my vote for villain of the year. At first, second, and third look, Limbo drove right into my brain, eliciting a full spectrum of experiences. This is a model example of an artistic endeavor unique to gaming.
Yes, yes, Rick's going on about art and games and stuff again. And of course I'm not the only one hurling the "A" word at Limbo. Some might even argue that the game's trying too hard to be taken as serious art, but I think that's a pretty ridiculous argument. Its aesthetic and gameplay work in perfect synch with one another, and time and again it produces those moments of pure frisson that only a great game can give.
But then there's the other thing you end up doing "time and again" in Limbo—repeating the same puzzles until you get the timing just right. We're all familiar with the experience of repeating a word over and over again until it starts to lose all meaning for us. Just sit there and say "Limbo" 100 times and you'll see what I mean. Also, try and drop one crate on another crate and then climb on top of them before the buzzsaw gets to you so you can jump onto the ledge 100 times and you'll see what I mean. OK, that section of Limbo I just described didn't take me 100 tries, but it probably took me 10 or 15, and I can tell you with dead certainty that be attempt five or six, once I'd solved the puzzle and it was just down to hand-eye execution, I wasn't feeling anything but frustration.
The game soars at those moments when you're right on the edge of understanding what you're supposed to do. There were several occasions where I was moving forward, thinking as fast as I could even as the silhouetted world creeped me out and fired my imagination. The sense of relief and exaltation when I made it through a puzzle/death trap in one go was the best. Seeing a clever, gruesome death once or twice before I perceived the way forward was just as gratifying, albeit in a different way. In a perfect world, the game would be an equal mix of these two feelings, with some atmosphere building stretches of walking through the blighted, shadow-heavy landscape.
But of course the game can't balance forever on that knife edge, because it's impossible to guess who will have problems with which puzzles. Some I solved instantly, some I stared at for what felt like hours (OK, it was minutes, but it felt long). More than a couple I looked up online. Obviously the designer chose to make some puzzles harder than others, but how could they know exactly how to balance the game perfectly for everyone. And so I don't imagine they tried.
Instead they went with the standard, tried and true, puzzles get harder as they go along formula. And there's nothing wrong with that at all. Limbo is a really good puzzler/platformer, and it has more moments than most of pure inspiration. I think it would've been even bolder to try and walk the knife's edge I wrote about, to see how close to the constant they could make my engagement with the game, but I know that's hard, and I imagine it would've made the game even shorter than it already is. I wonder if any game could ever do what I want, at least for every player. Probably not, although, Diogenes-like, I'll keep searching for that imaginary perfect game.

Washington D.C. Forecast: Heat and Humidity Here to Stay.
This Afternoon:Muggy and Partly Sunny Temperatures: Upper 80s/Lower 90s Wind: SW 6-11 mph Tonight:Steamy Lows: 70s Wind: SW 5-10mph Saturday:Hazy and Hot Highs: 90s Wind: SW 5-10 mph
Here we go again! More of the same as we continue the swath of heat and humidity moving in from the south to the north. This will continue into the weekend and even into next week. Highs today will move into the lower 90s, however, with the humidity-it will feel like mid to upper 90s! A very slight chance of isolated showers and storms, again this chance remains west of the D.C. metro area and continues along the I-81 corridor in the Shenandoah Valley. Other than that it is just going to be a partly sunny, sultry day! Saturday features more of the same: Hazy, hot and humid with a slight chance of storms west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Sunday a few changes come in to play. Highs will top out in the upper 80s/lower 90s with a better chance of more scattered showers and storms in the afternoon for all locations. Clouds will increase through the day on Sunday and the chance of widespread storms and cloudy conditions continue into Monday. Monday we will have to monitor some of these storms for severe potential. However, enjoy this weekend and be sure to stay safe!! UV index is very high so protect your skin as well!

Anyway, I have a few questions about the Inspire. Does it have Swype? And does it have that thing where you say something, and then it makes it a text message? What is everything HTC Sense can do? I read everything here, but I'm interested to know what else it can do. Is there a list of everything it can do? Like literally, everything, even the tiniest things.

Free cosmetic surgery mini consultations

Thinking about having cosmetic surgery? Why not book a free mini consultation with one of our consultants at the Spire D…
Non-surgical and skin treatments
The following treatments are available at Spire Dunedin Hospital under the care of one of our cosmetic surgeons or non-surgical doctors.
Wrinkles are caused by everyday factors like sun damage, smoking and facial expressions including laughing or frowning. As you get older the elasticity of your skin reduces too, and wrinkles naturally form - injectable procedures can help to reduce wrinkles for younger looking skin.
The injections help to smooth out the wrinkles without the need for surgery, and can often be an alternative to a brow lift or a facelift.
There are a number of different injectable treatments that can reduce wrinkles, either used on their own or in combination with other techniques; your cosmetic surgeon will be able to advise you on what treatment would be most suitable for the outcome you are looking to achieve.
Wrinkle relaxing injections usually take around 15 minutes, depending on the amount and extent of wrinkles being treated; there is no recovery time so you are able to leave hospital the same day. The injections can take a week or two to take effect.
This procedure can be used to create fuller lips or fill out lines around the mouth, nose and cheeks to create a subtle, smoother appearance.
A skin-friendly gel is injected into deep wrinkles to lift and smooth out the skin. Whereas wrinkle treatments affect the muscles that cause lines, dermal fillers work by filling the wrinkles or creases to add volume to the skin.
This treatment usually takes around 30 minutes, though a larger area may take longer. The treatment may cause mild bruising or swelling that can last up to 24 hours.
Thread veins are very fine veins that are often visible on the cheeks, nose and legs; they are common and come in a variety of colours.
If it is something that you are unhappy with them thread vein treatment is a suitable answer to the problem.
There are a number of different types of thread vein treatment and your cosmetic surgeon will be able to advise you on which is the best one depending on what your desired outcome is. These treatments can be very effective, but as it takes time for the veins to break down, it may be a few weeks before the results are fully apparent. A course of treatment may be recommended to achieve the best results.
Teeth whitening is the easiest, most cost-effective way of improving your smile and is achieved by lightening the natural colour of your teeth. Teeth whitening can be a highly effective way to enhance your appearance, which is why it is so widely used by both men and women of all ages.
We provide at home tray whitening as it is in your control how white you go and has longer lasting results. Firstly we need to be sure that whitening is for you. It is not a good idea to whiten your teeth if you have existing dental problems as the active whitening ingredient can aggravate any cavity or gum problem.
Our highly experienced Dental Surgeon, Jo Howden takes impressions of your upper and lower teeth and creates custom-made trays for you, which will be used to contain the gel – a carefully controlled concentration of carbemide peroxide. Peroxide-based products have been used in association with teeth for over 30 years and have been shown to be totally safe when delivered correctly. At your appointment our Dental Surgeon will demonstrate and trial the gel in the trays with you, to ensure you are comfortable with how to proceed and what to expect. You will then take the trays home and wear them for consecutive nights – preferably overnight for 2-4 weeks – until the bleaching process is complete.
You might get some sensitivity for a short time during the treatment, but this is normal and will fade away. Following your appointment we will provide you with sensitive toothpaste to use throughout the process and a fluoride mouthwash to help prevent this sensitivity.
How long the whitening lasts depends on your lifestyle. It can last for up to three years, with the trays, top ups are easy – just two to three will boost the whitened teeth.

Defending the Faith: Two opposing errors about the love of God
wilsclanmom Alexandria, VAJuly 8, 2014 1:06 p.m.
A God who pats you on the head and smiles at you and gives you everything you want, like a dotty grandfather, is not what I want. I want a God who will love me enough to make me like Him, to burn out of me all the unholy, unlovely parts of me. I know this process hurts. But I have been through it enough to know that the pain of the purifying fire inherent in growth towards holiness, comes only from Love, Inexorable Love. Those who say it is wrong to fear God, would suffer the greatest injustice were God to "approve" of them, slaves as they currently are to their own enthroned wills. God help us all if He is no more than a kindly smiling force that keeps the world spinning and is pleased that we remain just as we find ourselves, and nothing more. Dan Peterson hit the nail right on the head as usual.
GreatScot Eagle Mountain, UTJuly 7, 2014 5:48 p.m.
True to a point, but with the exception of #4, there are scriptures to support the "MTD". For example, 1. Genesis 1 (God creates, orders, and watches over the earth) 2. Love thy neighbor as thy self. 3. Men are that they might have joy. and 5. Doctrine and Covenants 76 (good people go to the Terrestrial kingdom - a wonderful and glorious part of heaven).
In the scriptures there are some hell-fire and brimstone messages aimed at the wicked, but there are plenty of scriptures showing God as compassionate, forgiving, loving, and comforting. The scriptures contain many messages aimed at many audiences. Better, I think, to take a broader view of God based on more than a few scriptural examples. :)

"....I can't avoid concluding that much of the Old Testament consists of nothing more than Hebrew tribesmen ascribing their purely human acts and thoughts to God."
Deities throughout all history are marked by characteristics of human striving. In trying to imagine a god, man draws on what he knows or thinks he knows of himself.
TheProudDuck Newport Beach, CAJuly 7, 2014 12:34 p.m.
The law (and I would say, the entire Old Testament) was a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ.
This is why I have a hard time accepting that the full Christian gospel was known and practiced to and by the Old Testament prophets and patriarchs. To me, the Old Testament represents a fascinating story of God leading his chosen people from their starting place -- as desert nomads viewing God as just one more deity whose good side you better keep on or get squashed, and who would fight his people's battles -- to an understanding of who He really is.
Who He really is is the one God of the whole universe, who is no respecter of persons, who sends the rain on the just and the unjust, and who is emphatically *not* a capricious Oriental despot, whacking people right and left for the tiniest thing. I agree that "God is love" can water that same true God down into something He isn't either -- a cosmic Mister Rogers, a "tame Lion" -- but I can't avoid concluding that much of the Old Testament consists of nothing more than Hebrew tribesmen ascribing their purely human acts and thoughts to God.

"....I don't see any evidence of Jesus forgiving the adulteress at that moment. He only said he did not "condemn" her, which, in my interpretation, means that he was giving her the opportunity to repent."
Let's not forget the possibility that she was being falsely accused. Jesus was less concerned with her guilt or innocence than the conduct of those who were ready to stone her. The significance in the account was the example Jesus set for us in the face of intense peer pressure to acquiesce to the will of her accusers.

I doubt Dr. Peterson see the universe in the way you describe.
As the audience of the DesNews and of Dr. Peterson is largely LDS, and the article intends to make a case for an LDS interpretation of the Love of God, it is entirely relevant that Dr. Peterson call upon professional socioligists not of the LDS faith to support his thesis. Had he not pointed this out, many would have (and in fact have done so elsewhere) assumed they were LDS and therefore would add only minimally to the point he was trying to make.
skeptic Phoenix, AZJuly 7, 2014 9:29 a.m.
Again Dr Peterson chooses to influence others to think as he thinks rather than teaching and inspiring them to think for themselves, and in the process of championing a personal Mormon god he stumbles over the realization that God is being itself, not a being.

RE: Dennis "How do you know that Psalms wasn't written and compiled a few hundred years after Jesus lived?" 2 examples:
The(Psalms) Septuagint (LXX) is a Koine Greek translation of the Jewish scriptures, translated in stages between the 3rd to 1st century BCE in Alexandria, Egypt.
The Dead Sea Scrolls have shown the MT to be nearly identical to some texts of the Tanakh dating from 200 BCE but different from others.

Thank you for the article, I enjoyed it. I would say, however, that I don't see any evidence of Jesus forgiving the adulteress at that moment. He only said he did not "condemn" her, which, in my interpretation, means that he was giving her the opportunity to repent.
Still well written, however.

RE: Redhat. True, "The one 'who believes' in the Son has eternal life. The one 'who rejects' the Son will not see life, but God's wrath remains on him. (John 3:36 )
RE: Tyler D, "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." Agreed,
O.T. prophecies which were fulfilled in the life of Jesus Christ. " i.e..(2of 61):
Protevangelium, " I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and HER seed(sperma,4690); it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel" (Genesis 3 :15). But when the fullness of time was come, God sent his Son 'made of a Woman' born under law(Joseph)(Galatians 4:4 NIV).
Psalm 22 was written by King David about 1,000 years before the birth of Christ. It prophesizes about the suffering and death of Jesus on the cross, which predicts the crucifixion 400 years before crucifixion was invented by the Persians. It describes the piercing of Jesus' hands and feet, the pouring out of water, his thirst, his bones out of joint (but not broken), the hurling of insults from on-lookers, and the casting of lots for his garments.

Yet there are many active religionists who tout their exemption from the law of consequences as the ultimate symbol of their faith
Dennis Harwich, MAJuly 4, 2014 7:31 a.m.
I stand by my comment. I'm sure God is sometimes amused and sometime bemoaned by the actions of humanity in trying to organize themselves into institutions that will do anything they please in His name. It boggles my mind.
redhat Fairfax Station, VAJuly 4, 2014 6:13 a.m.
From the Gospel of John it is clear that Jesus calls, no! urges, all of us to "love" and to "believe". Why can we say this? In that Gospel Jesus Himself uses those two words over 60 times each, beginning in John 3:16 which is the Gospel in it's purest form. That "love " and that "believing" is to be at the deepest "heart" level of a person. Without any "requirements" added to John 3:16, simply our humble response and surrender of all we are and all we have, we are by the power of the Holy Spirit "regenerated", become children of God, born from above, and most importantly from then on, have "no fear" of God's judgment. When the Son of Man sets you free you are free indeed! Believers should have no fear of God's judgment and emphasizing fear of God's judgment rather than God's unconditional love and our "believing" response seems to miss the point of Jesus' teaching in my humble opinion.

@sharrona – "The Prophetic Significance of the seven feasts of Israel and the Christian meaning, 3 brief Examples:"
Or, the Gospels were written to conform to OT "prophecy" or significance… which would be about as challenging as writing the 3rd Lord of the Rings book to conform to the 1st two (I hope it's obvious that when writing the 3rd book, the 1st two have already been written and you have them in hand… while writing the 3rd… for quick & easy reference).
For the incredulous, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. For the credulous, only extraordinary faith is required.

RE: Craig Clark. "Jonah found the order unbearable", Because Nineveh(gentiles,repented) known for its wickedness, an enemy of Israel.
Jesus used Jonah's story as example for his own death and resurrection (Mt.12:39-41, 16:4; Lk.11:29-30,32 ) "As Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."
RE: Tyler D, Current Biblical practices. The Prophetic Significance of the seven feasts of Israel and the Christian meaning, 3 brief Examples:
1) Passover (Leviticus 23:5) – Pointed to the Messiah as our Passover lamb (1 Cor 5:7). Jesus was crucified on the day of preparation for the Passover, at the same time that the lambs were being slaughtered for the Passover meal that evening.
2) Unleavened Bread — Pointed to the Messiah's sinless life, making Him the perfect sacrifice for our sins.
3) First Fruits — Pointed to the Messiah's resurrection as the first fruits of the righteous. Jesus was resurrected on this very day, which is one Paul refers to him in 1 Cor 15:20 as the "first fruits from the dead."

Thanks for the excellent comments about the angry God that some see. This God simply is a God that people have created in their own image.
The real God is better represented by his actual appearances to man in the four gospels and in the Book of Mormon's 3rd Nephi. Even the whip he braided was not used on people; it was used to drive animals from the temple courts. And let's remember, the real God did not go about seeking to kill people but was killed by them.

"For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son." (John 5:22).
We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ where every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. This applies to every soul that has ever been born on the face of the earth (50-100 billion? souls) no matter what their religious beliefs are, true or false, with the exception of babies and little children who died before the age of accountability.

Dr. Peterson's article might have also referenced Hebrews 12, especially verse 6:
"For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth."
Contrary to the MTD, God's love is manifested in his merciful correction of our sinful natures, calling us back to repentance and allowing us to partake of Christ's atonement. The principle purpose of life is happiness--but not the temporary "happiness" prescribed by MTD that, frankly, looks a lot more like clinical denial. The purpose is eternal happiness--joy--born of divine approval from living one's life in harmony with the Gospel.
Tyler D Meridian, IDJuly 3, 2014 1:58 p.m.
Is anyone ever troubled by the fact that there is not one word in the Bible that could not have been written by someone with only bronze-age knowledge?
The best evidence we have that the Bible is a collection of writings that on rare occasion depicts someone who has achieved an enlightened (i.e., found God) state of consciousness but is mostly a collection filled with all the ethics (such as they were), prejudices, peeves, war-like tendencies, and horrors of most bronze-age people, is the Bible itself.

"The Old Testament story of Jonah memorably depicts God's love for all the world's peoples, but it also sends that prophet to Nineveh with the warning that its inhabitants must repent or be destroyed."
What a pity Dr. Peterson stops there. I'll recapitulate the ending.
Jonah preaches to the inhabitants of Ninevah fully expecting them to reject him. To his astonishment, they repent. Here is how the King James Bible describes what follows. 'God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.'
It's what Jonah does in response that I find astonishing. He broods. He goes outside the city, sets up a shelter from the hot sun where he pouts, sulks, and prays to die because he thinks God has cheated him out of the satisfaction of seeing Ninevah and all its inhabitants destroyed.
Jonah is a short book of four chapters that doesn't take long to read. Check it out and judge for yourselves whether the God of vengeance as parts of the Bible suggest might be a product of human imagination.
The Wraith Kaysville, UTJuly 3, 2014 11:25 a.m.
Of course the Bible can used to support MTD. It can be used to support Catholicism,the tens of thousands of different forms of Protestantism, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc. While an exact number is impossible to find it has been calculated that there are well over 100,000 forms of Christianity and every one of them can successfully support their different beliefs by using the Bible. Every one of them can also use the Bible to show that all the others are wrong. So what is so different about MTD?
As the all wise Homer Simpson once said: "The Bible says a lot of things Lisa."

Re: "God is love" (1 John 4:8). It's not simply that God "loves," but that He is Love itself. Love is not merely one of His attributes, but His very nature.
God is light (1 John 1:5), which is the opposite of "darkness." In Scripture "darkness" stands for sin, evil, death; and "light" for holiness, goodness, life. God is light, means that He is the sum of all excellency.
RE: Twin Lights, "God is *a spirit"(John 4:24 KJV). "As translated correctly"=(God is spirit John 4:24 NIV), There is *no article' in the Greek text before the word spirit. The word spirit is first in the sentence for emphasis. The literal idea would be like, "Absolutely spirit in His essence is God." Jesus did not leave any doubt about this truth. God(The Father)= spirit!
RE: Moontan, but few are chosen." "… His mercy toward them that fear Him" (Ps. 103:11).

Great piece, and very much needed in this Christian culture. Reminds me of the most frightening verse - for me - in the Bible: Matthew 22:14 - "For many are called, but few are chosen."
Tom Johnson Spanish Fork, UTJuly 3, 2014 9:14 a.m.
Mercy cannot rob justice--this is the reminder that God is not always forgiving and those who ignore and rebel against His commandments will pay the price, either in this life or at the judgment day because it would be unfair of God to give the same blessings and rewards to those who do not keep His commandments as to those who do keep His commandments. The tension between mercy and justice is resolved in only one way--the atonement of Jesus Christ who pays the price required by justice for our sins on the condition that we obey His commandments to claim mercy.
Steve C. Warren WEST VALLEY CITY, UTJuly 3, 2014 8:52 a.m.
In the apparent conflict between a loving God and an angry God, the greatest weight should be given to the actual appearances of Christ in the New Testament and the risen Lord in the Book of Mormon. In person, he frankly seems to be quite compassionate and to have no desire to kill people. On the contrary, people killed him. Even the whip that he braided was merely used to drive animals, not to strike people.
I suspect the angry-God syndrome is more a reflection of reprobate mankind getting what the laws of nature impose on those who need to learn the hard way. Frankly, I suspect that a lot of the atrocities attributed to God tell us little about God and more about people creating a God in their own image. Frankly, parts of the Old Testament are borderline nonsense anyway.

Jeffrey R. Holland, April 2014 said,
Sadly enough, my young friends, it is a characteristic of our age that if people want any gods at all, they want them to be gods who do not demand much, comfortable gods, smooth gods who not only don't rock the boat but don't even row it, gods who pat us on the head, make us giggle, then tell us to run along and pick marigolds.
Craig Clark Boulder, COJuly 3, 2014 8:41 a.m.
It's easy and tempting to project a human psychosis onto God. Men have been doing that for thousands of years. Evidences for it are abundant in the pages of the Bible which was written not by God but entirely by the hand of man.
So if you find yourself torn between a God of wrath and judgment and a God of love and mercy, you need only search the Bible and selectively pick the passages that conform to your point of view. That's how simple it is as Dr. Peterson has just demonstrated for us.
RBA Fairview, UTJuly 3, 2014 8:06 a.m.
Thanks for the straightforward look at God's love. Of course he loves us and is patient with us and all our sins, He is our Father. But like any good father He reprimands us for our sins and demands our repentance or suffer the consequences. We must be good as He is good, and clean as He is clean if we want the ultimate reward of immortality and eternal life. He will help us if we submit to his will, but He will not, He cannot, save us in our sins.

Humility isn't thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less. All the words in the world don't mean anything, it's what you do that shows your devotion to God.
Twin Lights Louisville, KYJuly 3, 2014 7:39 a.m.
Though I do not agree that there will be no judgement, I do agree that the variables would make the task impossible for any save the one perfect judge - imbued with perfect love, full of mercy, and a knowledge of all things and of us from beginning to end. And that is why he sits in that seat alone.
Dennis Harwich, MAJuly 3, 2014 5:28 a.m.
It's going to be interesting in the "next" life when we find out there is no such thing as a "judgement". There are too many variables that make it impossible and frankly I were it not for mankind's constant effort to scare and control all this judgement silliness would never have existed.

I can be bought with an easy smile and a pint of sweet tea. When someone has a grill going in my neighborhood, I will sometimes sit out on my porch just to smell the air. My wife has often told me that I've never met a barbecue restaurant I didn't like, and I have to correct her: Truth is, I've never met a pig, cooked in any old way, that I didn't love. Whenever I find myself in a barbecue joint (which is frightfully often), I develop a reflexive Southern accent — my vowels extending, my jaw loosening. I start ma'am-ing every pretty girl in the place and develop opinions on things like linen suits and Southern-states football. I was born and raised in the industrial Northeast. My experience is more Nelson Algren than Wild Bill Faulkner. And yet I sometimes believe that there's a small and deeply Southern man inside me — a culinary Quato who only comes out when the scent of hardwood smoke is in the air or the sting of mustard-heavy sauce on my tongue. And that little fucker? He's hungry. All the time. He just don't never get enough.
Weirdly, Colorado is a good place for barbecue. Not a great place, certainly not the best place (that would be the Carolinas), but I've been in much worse. Maybe it has to do with the number of transplants (like myself) who come to this state to reinvent themselves or just get away from whatever dogged them back home. Maybe there's some itching need in the Southern soul to find a place with dry air and big skies and snow, a place where you can breathe without drowning and the sun seems to rise without quite such a vendetta against all living things. Having done my own stretch of time down in Florida, I can tell you with confidence that Colorado is the Big Rock Candy Mountain by comparison. I would not go back for love or money, and am still hoping that someday that stinking, rotting swamp of a state snaps free of the continent and goes floating away, leaving only the Keys, because Laura has fond memories of getting drunk on Duvall Street and eating Key lime pie for breakfast.
Florida produces four things in abundance: humidity, cockroaches, barbecue and ass-kicking Cubano line cooks. The bugs and humidity it can keep. The cooks escape as soon as they are able. And the barbecue? Well, the barbecue tends to drift. Because Florida barbecue — and in particular, Northern Florida barbecue — is a mutt blend of everything from Southern barbecue to Carolina tidewater with a little Midwestern K.C. soul and Saint Looey sweet thrown in for good measure. It's a popular style and travels well. Big Papa's barbecue came up out of North Florida to settle in Denver. Hoss Orwat learned a couple things from Florida's pit men that he uses at Big Hoss. Jim 'N Nick's, which offers straight Alabama 'cue, has outposts in Niceville and Sandestin. And now the Denver suburbs have another Sunshine State refugee: Bono's Pit Bar-B-Q, which I visited last week when the temperatures started to climb.
Bono�s Pit Bar-B-Q
9393 East Dry Creek Road, Centennial
13881 East Mississippi Avenue, Aurora
Hours: 10:30 a.m.-9 p.m. daily
Pork platter: $8.29/$9.99
Rib platter: $8.99/$11.99
Brunswick stew: $9.99
Sweet tea: $1.99
Bono's has 24 locations, 21 of them in Florida, centered around Jacksonville, where the original shack was erected in 1949 by founder Lou Bono. The entire operation was bought in 1980 by the Adeeb family (a multi-generational hotel and restaurant family also based in Jacksonville), but the same pit master, Harvey Green, has been working the Jacksonville smokers for fifty years. There's one castaway address in Allendale, Michigan, and two in Colorado: one in Centennial, one in Aurora. Bono's franchises its name, its style, its concept to anyone who can put up the fee of fifty large and lay hands on $1.5 million for opening. Square-state barbecue ain't cheap.
But is it good? To judge it properly, I should've hopped a jet down to Jacksonville to pay a visit to Harvey Green, but that wasn't going to happen. Like I said, I am never going back to Florida — and neither love nor money nor slow-smoked pig will change that. Instead, I hit both Colorado locations, visiting at roughly the same times, assembling nearly identical orders of chopped pork and St. Louis-style pork ribs, sweet-potato fries, potato salad, baked beans, sweet tea and Brunswick stew. Bono's also serves beef brisket, but Texas barbecue is just a desperation measure concocted by pit men without access to pigs. Bono's serves chicken and turkey, too, but barbecued turkey is a gimmick best kept to street festivals and Renaissance fairs, and barbecued chicken is almost always bad when done anywhere outside your own kitchen. The menu also lists appetizers, but the only appetizer I want in a barbecue restaurant is more barbecue (or, in rare cases, burnt ends, which Bono's doesn't offer). And there are salads, but anyone who orders salad in a barbecue restaurant is plainly delusional and should immediately seek professional counseling.
As far as decor goes (which ain't far at all), both outposts feature big booths, lots of polished wood, artificially rusted tin paneling, and slogans and logos painted on the walls in the style of distressed 1940s advertising, chipped and faded by man, not age. These are barbecue-theme restaurants that have gone to a lot of trouble to look like weather-beaten, windblown, dusty backroad shacks, even though both exist amid seas of blacktop, right off two different highways, walking distance from hotels. In their defense, though, they smell real good. I've eaten barbecue in the South, sitting on the hood of my car or hunkered down at a picnic table under the meager cover of shade trees. I've stood before the old smokers when the doors were opened and gotten an eye-watering face full of greasy, rich, full-bodied pig and pecan smoke. That smell is one thing you can't fake, can't buy, can't reconstruct. Bono's slow-smokes all its meat for twelve to fourteen hours in Southern Pride smokers — top of the line in this modern world. And that's a good start.
But unfortunately, a good start is mostly all you'll get. At the Aurora location, when I looked past the decor, I saw the kitchen's disturbing setup: a plain galley line set behind the bar, with cooks slapping racks down on standard-issue gas grills to warm for service and big bags of frozen sweet-potato fries being used openly. The product produced here was even more disturbing. The ribs were meager — small and thin and on the wimpy side, the gnarled knots of muscle on one end charred, the rest of the meat strippable in just two disappointing bites. I'd ordered a pound of them and was left with three-quarters of a pound of bones and a still-powerful hunger. Good thing, then, that I had a half-pound of pork shoulder waiting for me — and too bad that the pork was no more than passable. I tried each of Bono's four sauces (available for purchase by the bottle everywhere you turn), but none of them helped. The red was too thick and too brackish, the hot like cheap K.C. Masterpiece hit with a shot of Tabasco sauce. The mild was sticky, mustardy and sweet but too strong, doing nothing but masking the flavor of anything it touched. The sweet and tangy was just a mix of the previous two, plus vinegar, so it came out stingingly sharp, bluntly tart, sticky, sweet and redolent of ballpark brat mustard.
The sides offered little distraction from my disappointment. The sweet-potato fries were mealy, the potato salad inedibly bad — like mashed potatoes laced with vinegar, relish and pickle brine. I washed that taste out of my mouth with sweet tea, which was done properly: a bag of granulated sugar with a drop of tea added for flavor. The meal's only other saving grace was the baked beans muscled up with bits of pork and sweetened with brown sugar.
Two nights later, I ordered the same meal in Centennial and had a much better experience. For starters, this location actually follows the Bono's design, with an open-face grill/oven from which all meat orders are taken — the pork and ribs and brisket and chickens and sausage links stacked up on the grates, a plastic garbage can full of split cordwood sitting close at hand for banking the fires. Outside, I'd seen the massive pile of wood, the chuffs of smoke crawling skyward from the chimneys. Inside, I saw the glaze of smoke and grease around the mouth of the big oven. It was like the heart of a great barbecue restaurant beating inside the body of an anemic chain.

The ribs here were a vast improvement — large and fat, with nicely mopped and crusted surfaces and deep, smoky flavor. Encouraged, I ordered the Brunswick stew, a surprisingly authentic take on the Georgia-cum-Carolina classic of tomato broth, potatoes, carrots, okra, peas, butter beans and boiled pork (originally squirrel) touched with a vinegary, almost citric bite. But that's where this Bono's charms stopped. I tried the sweet-potato fries (again, poured straight out of the freezer bag into the Friolator), the potato salad (still bad, but not as bad as at the Aurora store) and the baked beans (still good, and probably better than at the Aurora store). And the chopped pork was a wet, fatty mess: Poorly trimmed to start, the piece chopped for me had not spent nearly enough time in the smoker, and I actually left about half a plate's worth behind — something that I thought I would never do in a barbecue restaurant, tantamount to an alcoholic leaving a wounded soldier on the bar.
It's hard for me to find barbecue I don't like — so when I do, my disappointment is painful, palpable and stabbing. And because I am generally so forgiving of anyone worshipping the cult of the pig, I don't take this disappointment lightly. In Colorado, we attract barbecue restaurants like picnics do flies. And that means that anyone with a serious taste for America's only indigenous cuisine will always be able to find a better option than Bono's.
I certainly know I can.

Since the moment he was born, my son's life has been one milestone after another: graduating from the isolette to a crib in the NICU, getting his feeding tube taken out, coming home. Last weekend, we celebrated the biggest milestone of Judah's life thus far: the first day of the rest of his Jewish life.
Photo by Akira Suwa; used with permission.
The Jewish tradition of brit milah dates back thousands of years. Six years ago, I converted to Judaism, deeply attracted to its teachings, values and principles. It was my intent to live a Jewish life and, as a Jewish mother, to bear witness to my son's bris was an incredibly moving experience.
From the private moments as I nursed him before the ceremony to his grand debut to a crowd of over 50 friends, family and loved ones, Judah's bris was a magical moment right up there with his birth and my wedding. It's a moment I'll never forget for as long as I live. As I walked into the room holding my son in my arms, I was overwhelmed by all of the love for this tiny little boy, a child we've been waiting for many years after our long struggle with infertility.
I passed Judah from my arms to those of his kvatterin (godmothers) Aunt Rachel to our friend Nicole and her husband Andy, the kvatter (godfather) and then finally to the loving arms of his sandek, an honored role given to his paternal grandfather (affectionately known as Pop-Pop). All the while, my Papa shot hundreds of pictures, capturing every special moment on film.
I read a prayer written by Naomi Levy that began, "Welcome, welcome to this breathtaking world. We have been waiting for you. Waiting to see your beautiful face, to hear the sound of your cry, to kiss you, hold you, rock you. You are the fruit of our love, of our hearts, of our souls." My husband and I recited prayers and blessings that have been recited across generations and continents. The mohel was swift and warm, explaining each part of the ceremony as he went along.
Judah was given his Hebrew name: Yosef ben Arieh ha-Levi v'Miriam. He was named in honor of Larry's grandfather, Joseph, of blessed memory.
Afterward, Judah finally got to meet his cousins Willow and Laela, and was passed around so many family and friends who've been waiting to meet him just as long as Larry and I have. We all noshed while he napped, Larry and I taking turns holding him as we ate delicious plates of bagels and smoked fish.
I feel so honored to have been present for such a special, holy moment in my son's life and I'm humbled to be called his mother.

CLEARWATER — A Pinellas County's sheriff's deputy suffered minor injuries Monday when his cruiser was struck from behind as he slowed to assist a disabled vehicle.
Deputy Michael Dipolito was traveling west about 9:15 a.m. on Countryside Boulevard when he noticed an off-duty deputy stopped behind a disabled vehicle at the Enterprise Road intersection.
He slowed and activated his emergency lights to see if he could help, the Sheriff's Office said. That's when he was rear-ended by a Chevrolet Avalanche driven by Marvin Coon, 57, of Clearwater.
Dipolito, 45, was taken by ambulance to a local hospital. Coon was not injured and was cited for careless driving, the Sheriff's Office said. Both vehicles sustained minor damage.
The Sheriff's Office continues to investigate.

No specific age related risks that I've heard about. I had LASIK just over two months ago at age 41 without any problems. But everyone is different and the only way to know for certain is to go for a consultation.
One thing to note tho, LASIK doesn't correct for age-related nearsightedness -the kind when you need reading glasses. That's eye muscle related and not affected by the resurfacing of the cornea that is done by LASIK.
I had pretty bad vision (-6.5 and -5.75). Now I am better that 20-20. It's miraculous!!

FedExField Goes HD, Part 4: Demolition ContinuesPosted by on April 7, 2010 – 9:42 am
As Extreme Makeover: Roster Edition seems to be picking up speed at Redskins Park, Extreme Makeover: JumboTron Edition rumbles cheerily on at FedExField. When last we checked in, the control room had been gutted, one panel of one endzone scoreboard had been removed and the bits of the old JumboTron were stacked on pallets in the stadium concourse.
As you can see, things have picked up a bit since then.
That's the east endzone has now had all three panels removed, clearing the necessary space for the new HD board. And now the west endzone is coming along as well.

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to tumor cells. Colony-stimulating factors such as sargramostim increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy plus sargramostim in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV cancer.
|Breast Cancer Lung Cancer Ovarian Cancer
|Biological: HER-2/neu peptide vaccine Biological: sargramostim
|Phase 1
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Phase I Vaccine Trial of a HER-2/Neu Peptide Incorporated Into PLG Microspheres in Patients With Advanced Stage HER2-Expressing Cancers
|Study Start Date:
|March 1999
|Study Completion Date:
|January 2001
|Primary Completion Date:
|January 2001 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the safety of serial intradermal or subcutaneous vaccinations of HER-2 derived p369-377 peptide incorporated into polylactide-co-glycolide (PLG) microspheres with adjuvant sargramostim (GM-CSF) in patients with stage III or IV HER-2 expressing cancers. II. Determine whether cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) specific for the HER-2 protein can be elicited in patients with HLA-A2 by immunization with this regimen. III. Determine which route of immunization, intradermal or subcutaneous, is more effective in generating HER-2 specific CTL in these patients on this regimen. IV. Determine the extent to which escalated dose of PLG peptide affects the immune response in these patients on this regimen.
OUTLINE: Patients undergo leukapheresis prior to study and after final vaccination. Patients are sequentially entered into one of three treatment arms: Arm I: Patients receive an intradermal vaccination of HER-2 derived p369-377 peptide incorporated into polylactide-co-glycolide (PLG) microspheres with adjuvant sargramostim (GM-CSF). Arm II: Patients receive a subcutaneous vaccination of HER-2 derived p369-377 peptide incorporated into PLG microspheres with adjuvant GM-CSF. Arm III: Patients receive a higher dose of subcutaneous vaccination of HER-2 derived p369-377 peptide incorporated into PLG microspheres with adjuvant GM-CSF. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 6 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15 patients (5 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: Stage III adenocarcinoma that overexpresses HER-2 and previously treated by surgical resection, conventional chemotherapy, or radiotherapy OR Stage IV adenocarcinoma that overexpresses HER-2 and in stable or complete remission with no other concurrent chemotherapy Must have documented HER-2 protein overexpression in the primary or metastatic tumor HLA-A2 positive
PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS: Age: 18 and over Performance status: Karnofsky 90-100% Life expectancy: At least 12 months Hematopoietic: WBC greater than 3,500/mm3 Platelet count greater than 100,000/mm3 Hepatic: Bilirubin less than 1.5 mg/dL Renal: Creatinine less than 1.5 mg/dL OR Creatinine clearance greater than 60 mL/min Other: Female patients must have completed childbearing Fertile male patients must use effective contraception
PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY: Biologic therapy: Not specified Chemotherapy: See Disease Characteristics At least 4 weeks since prior cytotoxic chemotherapy Endocrine therapy: At least 4 weeks since prior corticosteroids Radiotherapy: See Disease Characteristics Surgery: See Disease Characteristics Other: No other concurrent investigational phase I studies

Police say they've arrested a man who was trying to start a brush fire in Ventura County.
An Oxnard Police officer on patrol just before 11 a.m. Saturday morning reported seeing Eduardo Hernandez fanning a fire near some railroad tracks on the 1600 block of East Fifth Street. As the officer approached the scene, Eduardo Hernandez started walking away from the area.
The officer says when the 40 year old man was ordered to stop, he became combative, and had to be apprehended with the help of a K-9. Hernandez suffered minor injuries during his arrest.
He was booked for arson, resisting arrest, and threatening a police officer.
Police say Hernandez had a previous arson arrest. The fire on Fifth Street was put out before it could cause serious damage.

New York (Jun. 17)
The French Foreign Ministry has ordered that all government officials expedite issuance of transit visas for the temporary admission of migrants who can give satisfactory evidence of their final destinations, it was reported here today by David J. Schweitzer, financial director of the HIAS European Office, who arrived here for a short visit.
Schweitzer also reported that emigrants who are stranded in France because of shipping delays may obtain extensions of their short-term visas until suitable transportation is available. He lauded the arrangement under which HIAS and the Jewish Agency work together in the field of immigration. During the war years Schweitzer established a HIAS office in Istanbul which has since organized the repatriation of many refugees who found a haven in Turkey.

But when I click to DELETE the plugin, and then tell it to delete all the files, I get a FATAL ERROR message.
Here's what it reads:
Fatal Error (hide details) (remove)
The site encountered a problem that it cannot recover from. Please use the following information to try to resolve the problem.
Error Message
Fatal Error: Call to undefined function aye_get_cookie_path() in /xxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/youtube-embed/uninstall.php on line 57
The Artiss YouTube Embed plugin code created an error that caused PHP execution to fail.
The code tried to run a function that doesn't exist ( aye_get_cookie_path()). This type of error is typically caused by a simple typo (is_hom() rather than is_home()), by calling a function provided by a plugin when that plugin is not activated, by calling a function before it is ready (such as calling a function before the code that creates it has run), or by using a function that no longer exists (the function may have been removed from WordPress core or the plugin/theme that previously supplied it).
Invalid code modifications can cause this problem. If you have made any modifications to the plugin, remove them and try to load the site again.
It is possible that this plugin's code is out of date and that an upgrade is available. Check with the plugin's author to see if an upgrade is available.
There may be a conflict with another plugin running on the site. Try upgrading the other plugins on the site. A plugin conflict can be ruled out by deactivating all the other active plugins on the site and checking to see if the error still occurs.
The Artiss YouTube Embed plugin may not have been fully uploaded. Uploading the plugin again could fix the issue. Important: If you do this, you will lose any modifications made to the plugin.

What's being said
But for his position of power, Fumo was allowed to try his case in federal court. Little people are often prosecuted in Penna. state court where they are "political prisoners" because they disagree with corrupt judges and prosecutors. See Cmwlth v. Montelione and Cmwlth. v. Wrona for examples. The Cmwlth. charges Wrona with a crime which does not exist in the statutes or in the PENAL CODE.
I sure hope the prosecution decides to appeal this ridiculously low sentence again. I can't imagine the judge scolding the prosecutors for filing so many charges against Fumo. It is akin to a person robbing 25 banks and then only charging that person with three robberies. I also believe the Judge is trying to make it very, very clear to all involved that judges and only judges have the power to sentence no matter what anyone else thinks. I find the judge's extremely light sentence suspect. It simply defies logic and most certainly should be questioned. Sign me: Larry Hohol-Author
