Convicted child sex offender Warren Jeffs has fasted his way into a condition which has prompted the state of Texas to induce a coma. Lindsay Whitehurst wrote in this morning's Salt Lake Tribune: (more…)

Well, it's official, Warren Jeffs, Prophet–so called of the FLDS church is a convicted child molester. I did not follow the trial on a day to day basis; however, assuming media reports to be accurate, from what I have read, the State of Texas was able to accomplish what Utah was unable to do–put Jeffs away for life for actual criminal activity on his part.
I have written highly critical previous posts about Jeffs' Utah trial. The reasons are clear enough in the prior posts, and I need not repeat them here. I was also highly critical of the State of Texas' raid and abduction of all the FLDS children back in 2008. I remain highly critical of that initial raid, for the reasons Texas gave, and which I covered extensively in the prior posts.
That said, my defense of Jeffs in his Utah trial and my defense of the FLDS people in the Texas raid has nothing to do with my personal view of Jeffs at this point, based on the evidence presented in the Texas trial and the resulting jury's verdict. Mr. Jeffs belongs in prison, and life is not likely a long enough term for him, given the horrific nature of his crimes.
The Salt Lake Tribune has some very interesting posts of some of the audio recordings Texas authorities used to convict Jeffs and his delusional ramblings of how he needed quorums of wives, some of whom clearly were underaged. The recordings are pretty creepy, even when the topic is not sexual in nature.
Jeffs has had his day in court, the evidence presented, and now he serves a life sentence as a convicted child molester. It will be interesting to see how this impacts his control over the FLDS church he ran, and whether there will be a power play for the position of "prophet."

In a victory for Warren Jeffs, and an even larger victory for the Constitution, both Utah and United States, the Utah Supreme Court has reversed Jeffs' conviction and ordered a new trial. I haven't yet read the opinion; however the Salt Lake Tribune has a good article on the ruling: (more…)

Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is recovering from surgery.
The Vikings announced on Thursday afternoon that Peterson had successful surgery for a sports hernia, and that there is no reason to be concerned that the injury will be an issue going forward.
"Adrian Peterson had a surgical procedure done today by Dr. William Meyers, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania," the team said in a statement. "Dr. Meyers was able to successfully repair Adrian's abdominal core muscle injury (sports hernia). We expect a speedy recovery with no long-term concerns."
A year ago, Peterson was recovering from a much more significant injury to his knee. That recovery went so well that Peterson won the league's Most Valuable Player award. So a little thing like sports hernia surgery probably won't slow him down.

PCB Chairman Zaka Ashraf is confident that the death of India's firebrand leader Bal Thackeray will not affect their national team's upcoming tour to India even though the late leader's party has strongly opposed the revival of bilateral cricket ties.
"I sent a get well message to Bal Thackeray despite his party's stance on Indo-Pak cricket relations because I wanted him to get well and support the tour as a senior politician," Ashraf said.
"The good thing is that my get well message produced some positive reaction in India and I am happy for that."
Ashraf pointed out that he was not expecting the tour to be affected since Thackeray died a natural death.
"In the past whenever Pakistan has played in India their government has provided us top security and looked after the team well and that gives us confidence the tour will be held without any problems," he said.
The Indian government has cleared the tour although Thackeray's party strongly opposed reviving bilateral ties with Pakistan after five years.
Asked about accusations made by British writer, Ed Hawkins in his new book that the 2011 World Cup semi final at Mohali between the two countries was fixed, the PCB chief said if the writer had any evidence to support his claims he should send it to them.
"Anyone can make any claims but without evidence it is useless talking about it. If Hawkins has any sort of evidence than we would be the first to hold an inquiry ourselves and than ask the ICC to also look into the accusations," he added.
Meanwhile, to a question Zaka said no candidate was final as yet for the post of national team's batting coach.
"We need the best man for the position of batting coach keeping in mind the requirements of modern cricket," he said.
Former Test cricketers Zaheer Abbas, Saleem Malik and Inzamam-ul-Haq are in the run for the said post. But they all have no coaching credentials.
Insiders say some foreigners with required credentials and qualifications from England, South Africa and Australia have also applied for the position.

Armenian Phrases
I am using a phonetic transliteration system. The transliteration should be read just like Spanish except the h is not silent, the j is a j (as in Jacob). My additions are the kh which is pronounced like the Jewish ch in chutzpuh or the Scottish ch in Loch, also the jh which is pronounced like the j in the French word dijon (mustard), the gh is pronounced like a German saying an r, and the apostrophe which is pronounced like the uh in uh-huh (meaning yes). Note: in Spanish, all the letters, including the vowels are always pronounced the same. A as in ah, e as in bet, i as in bite, o as in bone, and u as in blue.
Please note the following transliteration is in EASTERN Armenian.

Column: It's time to consider more cuts in our nuclear weapons strategy
The Obama administration missed a chance to take a bold step to save money Thursday when Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel visited F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming. It is home to the 90th Missile Wing, where an estimated 150 Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles are on 24-hour alert.
If ever there was a costly relic of Cold War spending that needs a dramatic overhaul it's the U.S. strategic nuclear deterrent, a program with a price tag of $355 billion or more over the next 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
Of that amount, some $89 billion will be used to modernize or replace the current intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) and bombers, and add a new air-launched cruise missile.
Operating costs for nuclear forces this fiscal year are $18 billion, but with modernization efforts just beginning, taxpayers should add another $10 billion a year in costs, according to the CBO report.
Under the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) that goes into effect in 2018, the United States and Russia will have 1,550 deployed strategic nuclear warheads, more than half on 24-hour alert, deployed on 700 long-range delivery systems - the ICBMs, SLBMs, and bombers.
Why so many - and ready to be fired - other than that has been the case for years?
For example, why does the United States have two Air Force officers in giant capsule-like underground bunkers buried some 30 feet below ground, sometimes working 12-hour stretches in Minuteman III launch control centers, like those near F.E. Warren Air Force Base? Down there, they control 10 intercontinental ballistic missiles, each with a warhead roughly 20 times more powerful than the one that destroyed Hiroshima, ready for firing within minutes of a confirmed order through the chain of command from President Obama.
There are 44 other underground launch control centers located across the northern Midwest. For 50 years not one of the U.S. ICBMs has been launched at an enemy target.
They played their role in the Cold War, as Hagel pointed out during his talk at Warren AFB. "There are many things that have kept the world from a World War III, but I do think America's strong nuclear deterrent, second-to-none, has done as much to keep peace in the world since World War II as any one thing."
Having prevented what he called "the big war," Hagel said it was time "we look at the new challenges and threats that face the world today." He mentioned cyber as "a huge threat," and although he didn't say it, terrorism also must be on his mind.
What he also didn't mention, however, was fear of a massive first strike capable of knocking out the U.S. nuclear deterrent, the danger that was posed by the now nonexistent Soviet Union. The Soviets, in fact, allegedly justified the need in the first place for the U.S. nuclear triad of deployed land-based and sub-based ICBMs and bombers.
Hagel did refer indirectly to the troubles that have dogged the nuclear force structure in the past two years as its central role in Pentagon planning has receded since the Soviet Union's collapse.
In Wyoming, he told the troops, "Sometimes I suspect you feel maybe that no one cares or no one's paying attention to you, but we are, and also to re-emphasize how important your mission is, how important your work is, how we depend on your professionalism and how you do your work."
That same day two Air Force missile officers - whose job it is to sit in those underground launch centers - were implicated in a narcotics investigation and lost their access to classified information.
An unpublished Rand Corporation study done between December 2012 and February 2013 found that those in the nuclear missile force "have low job satisfaction and often feel job-related 'burnout.'" The study, first disclosed in November by the Associated Press, also found that courts-martial in the ICBM force were 129 percent higher than the Air Force as a whole in 2011, on a per-capita basis, and 145 percent higher in 2012.
In May, the Air Force temporarily disqualified 17 officers from their duties controlling ICBMs at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota after they received a D rating during an inspection. Then in October was the embarrassment caused by the firing of Maj. Gen. Michael Carey, commander of the 20th Air Force and responsible for the three wings of U.S. ICBMs. An Air Force inspector general's report described him during a Moscow trip as being publicly drunk, socializing with women and being rude to his hosts.
Despite problems among the U.S. strategic nuclear force personnel, questions about the role of nuclear deterrence in the age of growing cyber and terrorist threats, and current budgetary pressures in defense spending, Hagel did not propose that the Obama administration would seek to reduce further the new START level of deployed warheads, cut the number of stockpiled warheads or eliminate one leg of the triad.
Instead, he said, "We're going to invest in the modernization that we need to invest in to keep that deterrent stronger than it's ever been." He pointed specifically to "completion of a new study to determine the follow-on ICBM to the current Minuteman III. So we are continuing to invest our focus and our time and our effort in this - in this nuclear deterrent strategy."
The administration had an opportunity to lessen the attraction of nuclear weapons by unilaterally lowering numbers, de-alerting some deployed systems and asking other nuclear powers to do the same. That's a far cry from Global Zero, a distant goal both Obama and Hagel have supported. Most Americans - and most nations - would approve such moves. The United States would save money and still remain by far the most powerful military force in the world.

Throughout both the Old and New Testaments, whenever reference is made to God (or, for that matter, to the other two members of the Godhead) a male pronoun (He, Him, His, etc.) is employed. Why is this the case? Does God indeed possess gender comparable to that of humans? Is God male?
God's "gender" has been a hot topic for approximately the last two decades, owing in large part to the impact of the women's liberation movement and the sexual revolution. Books with titles like When God was a Woman, The Feminine Face of God, Womanspirit Rising, and Beyond God the Father are leaping off bookstore shelves. Religious writers have capitulated to the "signs of the times" in attempts to make God "gender neutral." For example, the well-known writer on science and religion (and herself a believer in God), Kitty Ferguson, placed the following disclaimer in the frontispiece to her best-selling book, The Fire in the Equations, produced and distributed by the W.B. Eerdmans company (a religious publisher).
The author of a book on the topic of science and religion needs a pronoun for God. Regardless of whether I choose to call God "he" or "she," I find myself making a statement which I don't wish to make. Using them interchangeably seems contrived and gets confusing. "She/he" or "he/she" is cumbersome...and one still has the problem of which gender comes first in the pairing. "It" will not do. Lacking a better solution, I have chosen to use "he," which makes the weaker statement and is more easily interpreted as inclusive (1994, ellipses in orig.).
Major religious groups even have begun altering their views on God and the language they use to express those views. In the Inclusive Language Lectionary produced by the U.S. Council of Churches, Christ's word for God, Abba, has been changed from "Father" to "Father and Mother," and the word for His relationship to God has been altered from "son" to "child" (see Reuther, 1988, p. 144). At its annual conference in 1992, the Methodist Church in Great Britain concluded that "the use of female imagery is compatible with faithfulness to Scripture—indeed Scripture itself points in this direction and also gives us examples of that imagery." The Methodist Faith and Order Commission thus recommended that, in order to avoid distortion of our image of God, both female and male images should be used to refer to Him/Her (Inclusive Language and Imagery about God, 1992). And, as British writer Hugh Montefiore noted:
Even the Church of England, while not going so far as this, has made some suggestions for inclusive language. No doubt such measures are as yet in their infancy. Teaching will in future focus on the filial relationship of Jesus to God rather than on his sonship, and on our dependence on God and on his love and care for us, rather than on his fatherhood (1993, p. 131).
What should be the Christian's response to these kinds of innovations and the changes that stem from them? Is it scriptural to speak of God as "Mother"? Is it permissible to refer to Jehovah as "Her"?
To answer these kinds of questions, one first must know something of the nature of deity. And the only source of that kind of information is God's Word, the Bible. While it is correct that something may be known of God through a study of the created Universe—namely "his everlasting power and divinity" (Romans 1:20)—there nevertheless are specific traits of Deity that can be explained to mankind only via supernatural revelation. Fortunately, such a revelation has been provided in the Bible. The question then becomes: "What has God revealed concerning His nature and gender?"
It is true that the Bible often uses masculine terms to describe God or His activities. Male names/terms are applied to God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit throughout Scripture. The names for God—Yahweh, Elohim, Shaddai, Sebbaoth, Adonai, Kurios, and Theos—are all masculine gender. Furthermore, male metaphors frequently are applied to God. The psalmist cried, "The Lord is king for ever and ever" (10:16) and wrote that "like as a father pitieth his children, so Jehovah pitieth them that fear him" (Psalm 103:13). Nehemiah represented God as a warrior when he wrote: "Our God will fight for us" (4: 20). Jeremiah portrayed God as a spurned husband (3:1-2). Jesus likened God to a loving Father (Luke 15:11-32). The names for Christ—Iesus and Christos—are masculine. And Jesus is presented in the male roles of a shepherd (Matthew 25:32; John 10:11-18), a prophet (Luke 13:33), a priest (Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 7:24-28), a bridegroom (Matthew 22:1-4), and a son (Mark 1:11; John 3:16 [John mentions the father-son relationship more than 60 times in his Gospel]; Hebrews 1:2-3).
It also is true, however, that on certain occasions God is portrayed via female images and metaphors. Isaiah 42:14 has God saying, "I cry out like a travailing woman," and Isaiah 46:3 records God's words as "Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been borne by me from their birth, that have been carried from the womb." In Isaiah 49:15, God inquired: "Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, these may forget, yet will not I forget thee." The psalmist used a female attribute in speaking of God when he said, "Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother" In Isaiah 66:13, Jehovah promised: "As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you." In one of His parables, Jesus portrayed God as a woman diligently sweeping her house in search of a single lost coin (Luke 15:8-10). And in Matthew 23:37, Jesus employed a female figure to refer to Himself in His lament over the city of David: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets and stoneth them that are sent unto her! How often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!"
However, there are other important factors to be considered as well. In an article titled, "Is God Female?," Steve Singleton mentioned three of them:
1. God is referred to hundreds of times with masculine names and with masculine pronouns such as "he," "him," and "his."
2. God is never given a feminine name, or referred to with feminine pronouns such as "she," her," and "hers."
3. This does not mean that God is male. The masculine pronouns have always had the second, generic sense, referring to both male and female, just as "Man" has been used for centuries to refer to both men and women (1978, 120[10]:154).
These are critical points that must not be overlooked in responding to those who question the "gender" of God. I began this article by asking: "Does God indeed posses gender comparable to that of humans? Is God male?" In his book, Credible Christianity, Hugh Montefiore asked and answered those same questions. "Does this mean that God is male? The very question verges on the absurd.... God exists eternally, and in the eternal sphere there is no sexual differentiation. God has no gender. He is neither male nor female" (1993, pp. 130-131, emp. in orig.). As Singleton concluded: "God is not male or female. God is God. Do you hear the answer which God gave to Moses on the mountain when Moses asked, 'Who are you?' God said, 'I am that I am!' " (1978, 120[10]:154, emp. added).
But why is it that God has no gender? Hopefully, the answer to this question will become obvious as we study the Scriptures. God is an eternal Spirit (Deuteronomy 33:27, Psalm 102:27; John 4:24; 1 Timothy 1:17; Revelation 1: 8) and, as Jesus pointed out, "a spirit hath not flesh and bones" (Luke 24:39). In 1 Samuel 15:29, God Himself announced: "The Strength of Israel...is not a man." Moses wrote in Numbers 23:19: "God is not a man...neither the son of man." Hosea repeated that affirmation: "I am God, and not man" (11:9). Time and again the Scriptures address the fact that, as a Spirit, God is invisible. John commented that "no man hath seen God at any time" (John 1:18). Paul spoke of "God...whom no man hath seen, nor can see" (1 Timothy 6:13,16) and of Christ as "the image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15). He reminded the young evangelist Timothy that to the "immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever" (1 Timothy 1:17).
Spirits—because they are non-corporeal beings—have no physical body, and thus, by definition, are incapable of possessing gender. In speaking of the humans who one day will inhabit the heavenly realm, Jesus remarked that they "neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as angels" (Matthew 22:30). His point was that we shall not take up our earthly gender roles in heaven, just as the angels, as spirit beings, have played no gender roles throughout their existence. Similarly, God, as a Spirit Being Who inhabits the heavenly realm, has no gender. Why, then, if God has no gender, do the Scriptures refer to Him via masculine names and metaphors? And must we refer to Him via masculine names and metaphors?
The answer to the first question has to do with both history and authority. From a historical standpoint, the fact is that every known ancient religion—except one—posited both gods and goddesses as beings worthy of worship. The lone exception was Judaism. Kreeft and Tacelli, in their Handbook of Christian Apologetics, addressed this matter when they wrote:
The Jewish revelation was distinctive in its exclusively masculine pronoun because it was distinctive in its theology of the divine transcendence. That seems to be the main point of the masculine imagery. As a man comes into a woman from without to make her pregnant, so God creates the universe from without rather than birthing it from within and impregnates our souls with grace or supernatural life from without. As a woman cannot impregnate herself, so the universe cannot create itself, nor can the soul redeem itself. Surely there is an inherent connection between these two radically distinctive features of the...biblical religions...: their unique view of a transcendent God creating nature out of nothing and their refusal to call God "she" despite the fact that Scripture ascribes to him feminine attributes like compassionate nursing (Is. 49:15), motherly comfort (Is. 66:13) and carrying an infant (Is. 46:3). The masculine pronoun safeguards (1) the transcendence of God against the illusion that nature is born from God as a mother rather than created and (2) the grace of God against the illusion that we can somehow save ourselves—two illusions ubiquitous and inevitable in the history of religion (1994, p. 98, emp. in orig.).
From an authoritative standpoint, as Singleton pointed out earlier, God is referred to hundreds of times throughout Scripture by masculine names and masculine pronouns—but never is given a feminine name or referred to by feminine pronouns. Thomas Rees, writing in the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, addressed the matter of God as the ultimate authority figure when he wrote that "the essential nature of God, and His relation to men, is best expressed by the attitude and relation of a father to his children; but God is Father in an infinitely higher and more perfect degree than any man" (1955, 2:1261). K.C. Moser, in his book, Attributes of God, stated emphatically that "this manner of referring to God is significant" (1964, p. 12). Indeed it is. While those who were involved in the false religions that surrounded the Jews worshipped a myriad of non-existent gods and goddesses, the Israelites worshipped "Jehovah the true God, the living God, an everlasting King" (Jeremiah 10:10; cf. "the true and living God," 1 Thessalonians 1:9, NLB; "the only God," John 5:44). Or, as Spencer, et al. put it in their book, The Goddess Revival: "The Judeo-Christian God, unlike the gods and goddesses of pagans new and old, exists above the limitations of gender" (1995, p. 48). It is an "authority" matter—not a "gender" matter.
But must we refer to God via masculine terms? The question has nothing to do with what we would like to do, but rather with what God tells us to do. C.S. Lewis addressed this point in his book, God in the Dock:
Goddesses have, of course, been worshipped: many religions have had priestesses. But they are religions quite different in character from Christianity.... Since God is in fact not a biological being and has no sex, what can it matter whether we say He or She, Father or Mother, Son or Daughter?
Christians think that God Himself has taught us how to speak of Him. To say that it does not matter is to say either that all the masculine imagery is not inspired, is merely human in origin, or else that, though inspired, it is quite arbitrary and unessential. And this is surely intolerable (1970, p. 237, emp. in orig.).
Scripture makes it clear: "O Jehovah, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.... Shall the potter be esteemed as clay; that the thing made should say of him that made it, 'He made me not'; or the thing formed say of him that formed it, 'He hath no understanding'?" (Isaiah 64:8; 29:16). Since when does the clay have the right to dictate to the potter or override his decisions? As a believer in God and His inspired Word, and yet as one speaking from an inherently masculine viewpoint, Lewis went on to say:
We have no authority to take the living and semitive figures which God has painted on the canvas of our nature and shift them about as if they were mere geometrical figures.... It is painful, being a man, to have to assert the privilege which Christianity lays upon my own sex. I am crushingly aware how inadequate most of us are, in our actual and historical individualities, to fill the place prepared for us. But it is an old saying in the army that you salute the uniform not the wearer.... A given man may make a very bad husband; you cannot mend matters by trying to reverse the roles... (1970, pp. 237-238, emp. added).
It is not man's (or woman's!) place to question God's sovereign authority or divine will; neither falls under mankind's jurisdiction. As Kreeft and Tacelli noted: "One issue is whether we have the authority to change the names of God used by Christ, the Bible and the church. The traditional defense of masculine imagery for God rests on the premise that the Bible is divine revelation, not culturally relative, negotiable and changeable" (1994, p. 98). Christ Himself left us the perfect example (as He always did) when He said: "Our Father Who art in heaven, hallowed by thy name" (Matthew 6:9, emp. added). The fact that biblical designations of God are placed within the specific framework of the masculine settles the matter once and for all. It simply is not a matter up for discussion.

"NFL Opening Kickoff 2010" (KOB-4 5:30 p.m.) Football has officially started. The season opener of Vikings at Saints follows. Place your bets.
"Nikita" (KWBQ-19 8 p.m.) This concept has had more lives than a cat. (Well, almost.) There was the original 1990 French movie La Femme Nikita. There was the 1991 Asian rip-off Black Cat. There was the 1993 American remake Point of No Return. There was the 1997-2001 TV series "La Femme Nikita." Now, there's this version starring Vietnamese/
"Beast Legends" (Syfy 8 p.m.) A team of cryptozoologists (like ghost hunters, only nerdier) uses "scientific data" to re-create legendary monsters (or 3D computer models of them, anyway).
"Stand Up to Cancer" (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX 7 p.m.) Everybody in Hollywood (more or less) shows up to help raise money for cancer research.
"COPS" (KASA-2 7 p.m.) Every time you turn around, "COPS" has hit some new milestone. Tonight, it's the 800th episode! That's soap opera-worthy.
Mandrake (Syfy 7 p.m.) As in the root, not the magician. Yes, this crummy movie has jungle adventurers being chased around by a shrimpy plant monster. On the upside, it does star Betsy Russell—whom horny '80s-era teens will remember as the sexy star of Private School, Avenging Angel, Tomboy and Cheerleader Camp. She was also in a bunch of Saw movies, but that's not nearly as cool.
"Broken Lizard: Stands Up" (Comedy Central 1 a.m.) The cult comedy troupe behind Super Troopers and Beerfest tells jokes.
"2010 MTV Video Music Awards" (MTV 10 p.m.) I hope you like your Lady Gaga. Because you're going to be seeing a lot of her tonight. In more ways than one, probably.
"The Venture Bros." (Cartoon Network, 12:30 am) Finally! The show returns for Season 5. Or Season 4.5. Or whatever.
The 19th Wife (Lifetime 7 p.m.) Chyler Leigh ("That '80s Show," "Grey's Anatomy") stars as a fundamentalist Mormon who tries to solve a man's murder at a polygamist compound in Utah. Knowing the wife did it apparently doesn't boil things down any.
"Fashion's Night Out 2010" (KRQE-13 9 p.m.) Neil Patrick Harris hosts. Hence, the "out" part.
"Sextuplets Take New York" (TLC 8 p.m.) No! No, no, no, no, no. Stop it, TLC. You think I can't see what you're doing? "Quints by Surprise," "Sextuplets Take New York," "Kate Plus Eight," "Table for 12," "19 Kids and Counting." You're trying to run the numbers! From here on out, you will air no more reality shows about people with more than four and less than 20 children. Fatwa!
"Survivor" (KRQE-13 7 p.m.) It's Nicaragua for the 21st season. In case you were wondering.
"Outlaw" (KOB-4 9 p.m.) Jimmy Smits stars. Sadly, he's not an outlaw, but just another TV lawyer.

Daylight Saving Time Ends; Time to 'Fall Back'
Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday. That means it's time to "fall back" and turn clocks back one hour.
Americans will have an extra hour of sleep once summer time officially ends at 2 a.m. Sunday.
What you didn't know
Benjamin Franklin first conceived the notion of Daylight Saving Time, according to author Dr. David Prerau.
During WWI, Germany was the first country to adopt DST.
The U.S. Congress established DST in 1918, in order to conserve resources for the war effort. It was observed until 1919, when the law was repealed.
It was reinstated in 1942 and observed until 1945 during WWII.
Before the latest change, "spring forward" occurred on the first Sunday of April for some two decades. It wasn't until 2007 when the country began observing an extra few weeks of DST and changing their clocks one hour forward on the second Sunday of March.
This change occurred as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which then President George W. Bush signed into law.
The legislation also changed the end date for DST from the last Sunday in October to the first Sunday in November.
DST is not observed in Hawaii and most of Arizona.
An extended DST means Americans can save more energy, as people turn on their lights later in the day and spend more time enjoying outdoor activities.
It is Daylight Saving Time, and not Daylight Savings Time.

Blogging Postponed Until Tomorrow
I'll write up the ride home from tonight some time tomorrow morning. I won't be riding in or home tomorrow on account of my working from home/buying a house. Here are some links (of a sort) to tide you over. I should be riding in for the rest of the week, but it's conceivable that I won't on account of some work stuff and carpooling. Might be time to find a more dedicated commuter blog, maybe done by someone who takes the bus every day. It could even be called "Tales From the Guy Who Takes the Bus Every Day." Oh, also, keep up with Chasing Mailboxes as MG and Felkerino take part in PBP. That's highly badass of them.

True Stories
| 0 votes and 0 reviews Write a Review
Director David Byrne (of Talking Heads) takes an outside-looking-in glance at Texas and Texans in True Stories. Casting himself as the protagonist/narrator, Byrne adopts what he thinks is standard western garb and drives his red convertible into the small town of Virgil.
Here he observes the town's preparations for celebrating Texas' sesquicentennial, taking time out to introduce us to several of the local oddballs.
Swoosie Kurtz plays Miss Rollings, the Laziest Woman in the World; Alix Elias is The Cute Woman, who decorates her home in the most hideously sweet manner imaginable; John Goodman is talent-contest entrant Louis Fyne, who harbors dreams of being a C&W star; Spalding Gray is Earl Culver, a vegetable-obsessed civic leader; Jo Harvey Allen is The Lying Woman; and so it goes.
The script by Southerners Byrne, Beth Henley and Steven Tobolowksy strives to avoid subtlety.

Ringo to Norway!
June 11th! We are excited!
Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band will be playing the "Norwegian Wood" festival in Oslo on Saturday, June 11th. Other artists at the festival will be The Eagles and Eric Clapton, among others.
Festival page: www.norwegianwood.no
This is the earliest date of this tour announced so far, and it means that we can look forward to at least around a month of Ringo concerts in Europe.
This will only be Ringo's second visit to Norway, and the first time he is giving a concert. He was here 40 years ago, filming some material for the 1971 Cilla Black TV Special, "Cilla in Scandinavia".
Ringo is also scheduled to play in Denmark in Værket, Randers. That happens the day after Norway. The day before he's playing Gothenburg, Sweden.

Ringo's European Tour 2011
his official website that he's recording a new album and will be touring Europe this summer! Great news for us European fans, he hasn't toured Europe since 1998! As this year will be the fourtieth anniversary of his one and only visit to Norway, we are certainly hoping he'll come and see us here again. Norway isn't mentioned by Ringo, but he specifically singles out Russia, Spain and Denmark. As for his seventyfirst birthday, he will be celebrating it in Hamburg, Germany!

The Beatles Revisited
|Around The Beatles
His releases are always sent out for free, as it is a non-profit, "made by fans for fans" project which he is doing for the fun of it, for his own collection and for the enjoyment of all Beatles fans. So far, the following releases have been made available by him and his collaborators:
- "Around The Beatles"
- "The Empire Strikes Back" (CD and DVD from the "It's The Beatles" special at Liverpool Empire, plus the Morecambe and Wise show and the Royal Variety performnce)
- "The Early Beatles"/"The Music of Lennon/McCartney"
- "There Was Love All Around" (Footage from Holland 1964, a new reconstruction of the complete Melbourne concert at Festival Hall, and Munich 1966)
- "Unsurpassed Promos" (a collection of the Beatles' promotional films, resynched and generally improved)
The material which originates from PAL video is preserved in PAL on DVD also, and NTSC tapes are made into NTSC DVD's. Because of the demand from US collectors, he has also made available some of the PAL DVD's in NTSC, but the first release will be PAL, with a later optional NTSC release following. Upcoming NTSC releases are:
- A Palladium 63 slideshow, with upgraded and (as far as I know) unbooted audio
- A Palladium 64 slideshow
- My Melbourne recon - with stereo audio added (combining the radio broadcast and TV soundtrack)
- A reconstruction of the Scottish Roundup interview, using the recently aired footage,plus audio for the remainder
- A reconstruction of the alternate Some Other Guy clip, with the acetate audio synched up
- An It's The Beatles reconstruction, using some (again, as far as I know) unbooted video snippets from another collector
- A reconstruction of Big Night Out from Feb '64, using material from the film and video versions
- That 'I Should Have Know Better' Granada footage with the audio synched up properly
- That 'Ticket To Ride' snippet from Top Of the Pops with the negative effect fixed
- The Paris concert with remastered sound and in the correct order, and some aspect ratio adjustments
- Blackpool night Out from Aug '65 reconstructed from the best audio and video sources
- A reconstruction of the 'dark suits' Budokan concert, using the laserdisc and a different source which doesn't have the horrible double-imaging effects seen on the laserdisc.
- A pretty nice copy of the 'light suits' concert
Do you have superior quality material sitting on your shelf? Are you sitting on stuff that remains uncirculated on the collector's circuit? If you are intereted in contributing to the project, get in touch
As I've personally observed, fellow Beatles collectors will have died before The Beatles/Apple will release their material officially. The floodwave of releases we anticipated following the Beatles Anthology series never appeared. When asked if a release of the Beatles promotional films were imminent, then Apple director Neil Aspinall famously replied that it "would be too obvious". He too was to die without it happening. The "Let It Be" DVD has been in the air for decades, and was especially mentioned by McCartney in conjunction with the "Let It Be...Naked" release - but remains in the archives. Same thing for the "Magical Mystery Tour" project of theirs. The iTunes release of the Washington DC concert film late last year came as a complete surprise to everyone and showed us what a superb concert it really was, when it was revealed in such a quality. You can get in touch via my address or by uploading material.

New McCartney Archives releases
The next batch of releases in the McCartney Archives series, which sees the McCartney album catalogue remastered and upgraded are the twin solo albums "McCartney" (1970) and McCartney II (1980). They will be made available like this:
- 2CD version, the second disc containing rare unedited audio documents.
- 2CD + 1DVD version, also including a 100 pages book.
McCartney II :
- 2CD version, the second disc containing rare unedited audio documents.
- 3CD + 1DVD version, also including a 100 pages book.
The contents of the DVD's as well as details about disc 2 on McCartney and disc 2 and 3 on McCartney II have not yet been relealed. McCartney II was originally planned as a double album before it was trimmed down, so there should be plenty of material to choose from on that one. No release date has been set yet, but we reckon that it's 2011, at least.

Ringo the game?
|Ringo Starr and Stan Lee
The former Beatles drummer has trademarked the name 'Ringo' to be used in game and computer software, reports Uk.gamespot.com.
Starr has registered his name next to the description of "computer game software" and "downloadable computer games via the Internet and wireless devices."
Back in 2005, Ringo was also to become an animated super hero, in cooperation with Spider-man creator Stan Lee. That idea never seemed to come into fruition, but if it´s something that now is about to happen, a computer game spin off could be fun as well!

Possible Beatles-themed film in the works
Back To The Future trilogy of films) and The Beatles. Chris McCoy has written a script with a plot about two Beatles fans who discover a time-travelling device. They hatch a plan to go back in time to try and prevent John Lennon from ever meeting Yoko Ono, thus saving the band fom the break-up. If this sounds familiar, you've probably read the 2005 German book "Der Dreizehnte Beatle" ("The Thirteenth Beatle"), which has the same basic idea.

What Do Our Sets of Plans Include?
The blueprints for most home designs include the following elements, but the presentation of these elements may vary depending on the size and complexity of the home and the style of the individual designer/architect:
Exterior Elevations: show the front, rear and sides of the house, including exterior materials, details and measurements.
Foundation Plans: All necessary notations and dimensions are included. (Foundation options will vary for each plan. If the home you want does not have the type of foundation you desire, contact COOLhouseplans.com of your plan.)
Interior Elevations: (call 1-800-482-0464 before ordering to confirm availability) show the specific details of cabinets (kitchen, bathroom). We suggest contacting local cabinet and fireplace distributors for sizes and styles.
Schematic Electrical Layouts: (call 1-800-482-0464 before ordering to confirm availability) show the suggested locations for switches, fixtures and outlets. These details may be shown on the floor plan or on a separate diagram.
Detailed Floor Plans: show the placement of interior walls and the dimensions for rooms, doors, windows, stairways, etc., of each level of the house.
Due to regional variations, local availability of materials, local codes, methods of installation, and individual preferences, it is impossible to include detail on heating and plumbing work on your plans. The duct work, venting, and other details will vary depending on the type of heating and cooling system (forced air, hot water, electric, solar) and the type of energy (gas, oil, electricity, solar) that you use. These details and specifications are easily obtained from your builder, contractor, and/or local suppliers.
Plan modification is a way of turning a stock plan into your unique custom plan. It's still just a small fraction of the price you would pay to create a home plan from scratch. We at COOLhouseplans.com believe that modification estimates should be FREE! We provide a modification service so that you can customize your new home plan to fit your budget and lifestyle.

Originally called 'Blue Ribbon Sports', the brand was renamed Nike after the Greek goddess of victory, in 1971, at which time it also introduced its now iconic 'Swoosh' logo. With the rise of hip hop culture, Nike quickly became a status-symbol amongst 1980s youth culture and sneakerheads, and proceeded to earn endorsements from notable athletes such as Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Their collection of sought-after footwear, such as the cult-classic Air Max and Air Force 1s, earned them their reputation as an influential unisex sportswear brand, with innovative performance-driven features, like light air cushioning, DryFit and Flywire technology, and Lunarlite foam. Currently an urban streetwear staple, Nike continues to expand its product line with tech fleece apparel, sports bras, swimwear, and accessories.

Vinnie Paul Talks Lost Pantera Track 'Piss' From 'Vulgar Display of Power' Reissue
When Loudwire exclusively chatted with Hellyeah drummer Vinnie Paul, he shared some details about the upcoming 20th anniversary reissue of Pantera's much-worshipped 'Vulgar Display of Power' album. We told him we listen to that album pretty much daily and that's when he gave up the good news.
"The reissue has a song called 'Piss,' which I had forgotten about it," Paul told us. "Some parts of it were taken for other songs, and at the time, it was the only song that did not make the record. In Pantera, we never had songs that didn't make the record. If we were going to write 11 songs, then we'd write 11 quality songs. Some bands write 40 songs and then hope they have nine good ones in the bunch. That sucks. Why not concentrate on writing 9 great ones and forget the 31 others? Anyway, this song, at the time, didn't feel right to go on the record, so we put it on the shelf."
Fast-forward 20 years and the song reared its head again. Paul said, "When I started digging through archives, we were happy with it. It is the only undiscovered complete Pantera track there ever was and it will be part of the package. It should be cool to hear the first new thing from the band since 2000."
The band did release the demo 'The Will to Survive' on the 'Cowboys From Hell' reissue a few years back, so anything new-old from Pantera is worth its weight in gold.
'Vulgar Display of Power' recently topped our list of the Top 11 Metal Albums of the 1990s. For more from our exclusive interview with Vinnie Paul, including his thoughts on the upcoming Hellyeah album and this year's Super Bowl, click on the button below.

The focus motor moves the lens in order to autofocus. For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in.
For example
Nikon D6
With 100% coverage, you can compose the image correctly when you capture the photo. With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect.
Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III
Flip-out screens can be useful for tricky shots.
For example
Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III
An optical viewfinder (or OVF) allows the photographer to compose a shot while seeing exactly what the lens will capture. OVFs have no time lag and require no power - as opposed to electronic viewfinders, which can drain battery life. OVFs are also better in low light situations.
The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
Canon EOS R
With a wider aperture the sensor can capture more light, helping to avoid blur by enabling a faster shutter speed. It also provides a shallow depth of field, allowing you to blur the background to focus attention on the subject. Show more
Ricoh GR II
f/1.40 (Canon EF 50mm F/1.4 USM)
The larger the sensor the more light the sensor captures yielding in better image quality.
Polaroid Snap

With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.
Phase-detection autofocus is much faster than a contrast detection autofocus, allowing for sharper images. Show more
With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash. Show more
Nikon D6

When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp. Show more
A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up. A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky. Show more
24p is a video format (24 frames per second) traditionally used in cinema. Nowadays, it is used to create film-like motion characteristics.
AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) is a file-based format for the digital recording and playback of high-definition video. It's a standard popular among professional cameras and camcorders.

A stereo microphone allows to record audio files or movies in stereo without an external microphone.

Math Not Meth (with Master Debate Marijuana VS. Crystal Meth)
I'd Rather do MATH THAN METH!
"The mathematical sciences particularly exhibit order, symmetry, and limitation; and these are the greatest forms of the beautiful."
~ Aristotle
From 1942, the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler received daily injections of Crystal methamphetamine from his personal physician, Dr Theodor Morelll.
Who do you want to emulate?
methamphetamine is a stimulant…. methadone is a narcotic… but the Nazi's came up with them both…. Methadone was, indeed, discovered in Germany – in the late 1930's. Two scientists, Max Bockmühl and Gustav Ehrhart, working for the large German chemicals conglomerate IG Farberindustrie at Hoechst-Am-Main, were exploring synthetic (man-made) compounds with a structure similar to Dolantin ®. This was an opioid analgesic discovered earlier at the same company (and later marketed as Pethidine ®, Demerol ®, and other brands).
few acknowledge that today (4/20) is also Hitler's birthday. Hitler used meth… I'd rather smoke pot and do math than emulate hitler any day!
here is my reference for the hitler infohttp://amphetamines.com/adolf-hitler.html
one of my favorite math beauties….

National Medical Health Card: Faster FactsBy David F. Carr Print
The manager of pharmacy benefits gives customer what they want—quick answers to their questions—by supplementing a central data warehouse with smaller analytic databases to handle particular questions. The result: Market share has doubled.
National Medical Health Card 26 Harbor Park Drive, Port Washington, NY 11050
Business Pharmacy benefits management
Key Business Executive Chairman James J. Big
Key Technology Executive CIO Agnes Hall
Project Establish database and analysis infrastructure to provide better service and anticipate growth.
Objective Provide faster answers to customer requests.
Technology Used Oracle on HP-UX, Oracle data warehouse tools
How it gave edge over bigger companies Gave NMHC customers direct access to data they needed to control their drug costs.
Last year, Beth Skalitzky dumped Medco Health Solutions, the $34 billion manager of pharmacy benefits for corporations. She felt she was operating in the dark. "We were not able to get our hands on data to help us manage our plan," she says.
As benefits administrator for Perry Judds, a printing company based in Waterloo, Wis., she was frustrated that Medco wasn't quicker to respond when she asked for reports on drug cost trends or explanations of problems reported by employees.
So Skalitzky switched to National Medical Health Card Systems (NMHC), a much smaller benefits manager that has annual sales of $651 million. A big part of the appeal: the ease with which she can get information from NMHC's Web site.
More than 2,000 employees have her name and home phone number, and they weren't afraid to use it when they had problems with Medco, such as getting to the prescription counter and not being given the proper discounts. "I remember one Fourth of July, I spent the whole day dealing with these sorts of problems," Skalitzky says.
Now, her employees can find answers for themselves on NMHC's site. Or, she can access their accounts and look things up quickly as well.
That NMHC was much smaller, with less than 2% of Medco's sales, didn't bother her. Medco serves more than 60 million "covered lives,'' i.e., individuals and their dependents.
"As a 2,000-life company, we're nothing to them," Skalitzky says.
By contrast, it's much easier to get NMHC's attention. That's why CIO Agnes Hall pushes to install systems that let NMHC respond quickly to customers.
Nobody's going to get fired for picking Medco, Express Scripts or Caremark, but you will not get the personal care from those companies because they're too big," Hall says. "We want to offer very personal quality service that the big guys can't offer, and to keep doing it no matter how big we get."
How big is that?
For the past two years, NMHC has captured a spot in Fortune magazine's list of the 100 fastest-growing companies in America. According to Fortune's September 2004 list, the company ranked sixth, with yearly growth of 44% and a 107% total return to investors over the past three years. NMHC was No. 27 on the list a year ago.

Physical Exam for HeadachesSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
A careful physical exam is needed to make sure the nervous system is working normally and to discover clues about the cause of a person's headaches. Results of the exam can help determine whether further testing is needed.
During the physical exam, the doctor will:
- Check your temperature. If you have a fever, your headache may be caused by an infection.
- Check your blood pressure.
- Examine and feel your head for any evidence of injury or painful areas (trigger points).
- Examine inside your eyes for signs of bleeding and increased pressure inside the eyes or head.
- Examine your nose and ears for signs of infection.
- Examine your neck and throat for swollen or tender glands, muscle spasms, and stiffness or limitation of movement.
When the doctor checks your nervous system, he or she will:
- Check your mental status. The doctor will check to see whether you appear confused or disoriented in some way or function at a lower level than expected.
- Evaluate your senses. The doctor will evaluate your speech, eye movements, tightening (constriction) of the dark spot in the center of your eye (pupil), eyesight, hearing, facial movements, and sensation.
- Evaluate your balance. The doctor will check your balance by asking you to stand with your eyes closed. He or she will also ask you to walk in order to evaluate your balance and coordination. You may be asked to repeatedly touch your finger to your nose.
- Evaluate your muscle strength and nervous system reflexes. The doctor will check the strength of movement in your arms and legs and other parts of your body. He or she will also check your nervous system reflexes with a slight tap of a special instrument (percussion hammer).
During the physical exam, the doctor may decide to examine other parts of your body to look for possible causes of the headaches. The doctor may also ask about other health problems if he or she thinks your headaches are related to another medical condition.
If you are having a headache during the exam, the doctor may notice things that often occur with a specific type of headache:
- The head or neck muscles may be tight and tender.
- The neck may be stiff and may not move in all normal directions.
- There may be areas of tenderness and spasm (trigger points).
- You may seem anxious or depressed.
- Muscles around the jaw may be tender if myofascial pain dysfunction of the jaw muscles is present.
Any abnormal results in the physical exam may suggest a possible medical cause of headaches. Abnormal results may include:
- Fever, which may point to an infection, such as sinusitis. A headache with a fever, a stiff neck, nausea, and vomiting may point to meningitis , encephalitis , or a brain abscess.
- A headache that began suddenly in a person who has not had headaches before, or a dramatic change in an established headache pattern.
- A headache that follows any form of physical exertion, such as exercise, sexual activity, coughing, or bending (these types of headaches usually are not caused by a serious problem, but in some cases they can be caused by an aneurysm ).
- Abnormal speech, eye movements, walking, coordination, or reflexes.
- Abnormal eye exam, which means there may be increased pressure inside the head.
- High blood pressure.
- Other findings, such as arthritis, that may suggest autoimmune disease .

***UPDATE*** Because the internet is awesome, this Dr. Horrible design is now officially licensed merchandise! You can buy it for yourself and all of your loved ones over at Quantum Mechanix by clicking HERE!
It's like Christmas in July! Gallery 1988 is having their 5th annual "Crazy 4 Cult" show in Hollywood on July 8th, 2011! I am more than honored to be a part of this show for the 2nd time.
Crazy 4 Cult has become a summer tradition in Hollywood. Every year a group of around 100 artists come together to celebrate our love of cult movies. There are always so many to choose from and this year I had a hard time deciding which movie to choose. I was torn between 2 different films. Well, technically, one was an internet film, but it has quite a cult following nonetheless.
Last year I had chosen a film that I felt was very under-represented but loved by a very vocal and awesome group of fans that call themselves Browncoats. While I was creating "River Tam and the Fireflies" for last years show, I knew I had made something special... but I had no idea it would take off like it did. The internet was very kind to me and that artwork took me on a strange adventure over the course of the year.
I made some new friends:
I got a lot of press coverage on some of my favorite websites. I sold a few T-Shirts, and received quite a few justified complaints about a missing Shepard.
Last week I was asked to participate in an awesome event called "Can't Stop The Serenity" here in Los Angeles. More on the event can be found by clicking HERE. I had donated some artwork to be auctioned off for a charity called Equality Now. I made a few more friends at the event:
I was able to show Joss, Nathan, and Felicia the new artwork I had created for this years Crazy 4 Cult show. I was a little nervous showing them but it seems like they enjoyed it!
They each requested some of the artwork, so i'm currently putting together some special gifts for them. This was an amazing opportunity and I thank Gallery 1988 for allowing me to be a part of their show. For this years show, i'll be contributing two pieces to the Crazy 4 Cult show. I'll be writing another blog about the 2nd piece, but for now, here is my artwork submission for "Crazy 4 Cult 5: I'm Too Old For This Sh*t!!!"
I consider this to be a companion piece to the "River Tam and the Fireflies". If you're not familiar with Dr. Horrible, then you owe it to yourself to pick-up this movie. It's a 45 minute musical set in 3 acts. It was self-funded and produced during the writers strike a few years back. The writing is fantastic, as usual, but the music is the real star of the show. I'm a big fan of musicals, and this short film doesn't disappoint. A framed album will be available at the gallery. Unfortunately the soundtrack wasn't released on Vinyl, so i've included another record in it's place.
Here's the back of the album:
And the framed album that will be available at the show:
The album's Front and back prints will be available exclusively through my etsy store. To purchase high-quality water color prints, all you have to do is click HERE!. Signed prints of the album front will be available exclusively at the gallery and online through Gallery 1988's Website.
If you love film and you love artwork, you won't want to miss what is becoming THE gallery event of the year in Los Angeles. Come on down to Melrose, see some awesome artwork from some amazingly talented people, and then go across the street to Pink's Hot Dogs and get one of the best tasting dogs of your life!

Visit Vocations Toronto at www.vocationstoronto.ca, a resourceful site in answering these questions.
The Prophet Isaiah also was called and we hear his response to that call:
I am not worthy. Yet, when asked by the Lord, he volunteers to do the work
of God. God's power in our lives is incredible. None of us is worthy.
However, once we become aware of God's presence, God's love for us and
God's wish that we do His will, then we simply do whatever He asks as best
we can. We may fail, we may sin, we may doubt, we may get angry, we may
despair - yet we keep on trying to do what He asks of us because He has
touched our lives.
The First Letter to the Corinthians is part of Paul's testimony to the
effect that Christ had in his life. Paul must keep on preaching Jesus, no
matter what happens. His life has been touched by Jesus Christ and he must
proclaim not only what happened to him, but also the other testimonies
which had been handed down. This is an important aspect of our lives as
followers of Jesus. We don't just proclaim how He has touched us, but we
proclaim His life and His miracles as they have been given to us in the
Scriptures - the testimony of other believers.
In the Gospel of Luke we have an account of the call to Simon Peter. We
see this very normal fisherman listening to Jesus and following His
instructions. As long is Jesus is giving spiritual teaching, Simon Peter
is content. When Jesus tells Simon Peter how to fish - well, that is another
matter! Yes in the end, it is Jesus, not a fisherman, who is right about
fishing. This brings Simon Peter to believe completely.
Jesus knows more about living and fishing and doing everything than we do.
We are invited to come to know Him as God and Savior. We are invited to
know Him as Lord of all, Lord of the earth and sky and the sea, Lord of our
lives, Lord of our hearts.
In our lives, we can become aware of His presence if we pray and if we open
our hearts to Him. That does not mean that we will always be faithful.
Again we think of Saint Peter, even toward the end of the life of Jesus,
denying Jesus. Yet Simon Peter becomes a great saint.
You and I can become like the Prophet Isaiah, like Saint Paul, like Saint
Peter - but only if we choose to walk with God, to open our hearts to belief,
to ask the Lord to transform us. Come, let us walk with the Lord.

ALAMEDA — An electrical problem sparked a fire inside an apartment at a converted Victorian on Walnut Street Friday afternoon that caused about $60,000 in damage, firefighters said.
The fire, which was reported at 2:01 p.m., also displaced the residents at the five-unit building in the 1500 block of the street.
No one was hurt and crews extinguished the fire within minutes of arriving, Alameda fire Capt. Jim Colburn said.
The fire began behind a wall in an upper floor unit at the two-story building, which is on the corner of Santa Clara Avenue, Colburn said. The resident reported it after noticing flames emerging from an electrical socket.
The fire reached the attic before it was contained. Damage was estimated at $50,000 to the building structure and $10,000 to the contents.
The American Red Cross is assisting the residents who have been displaced.
