Voters should oppose Sunday bow hunting
Published 1:00 am, Monday, May 1, 2006
It does not explain how this legislation would affect homeowners.
Bow hunting season runs mid-September through the end of January (not the end of December). The season has already been extended by one month recently. Why do bow hunters need another 20 days?
No one is required to notify adjacent homeowners if they allow hunters onto their property. There is no minimum acreage requirement for bow hunting and a tree stand could directly abut adjoining property.
It is hard to hear bow hunters or to see them in camouflage and up in trees. It is even harder to explain to children why wounded or dying deer are stumbling into their yards. Homeowners must pay to have a deer carcass removed from their property.
All this can already be happening next door six days a week, but wouldn't residents like to feel secure that on Sunday their family and pets could enjoy their own property in safety?
A legislator's remark in the article, "Nature can't sustain that herd, and they would starve if the herd is not culled," should not be taken as fact.
Deer might starve in a "forest" if severe weather impacts food availability. But this does not apply to suburbia with its delectable year-round smorgasbord. Has anyone been routinely stumbling across carcasses of starved-to-death deer everywhere they go?
The 99 percent of the public who do not hunt need to protect their rights as the majority.
Immediately contact your state representative and urge him or her to vote NO on Bill SB 605, "An Act Concerning Limited Sunday Hunting."

�Death by Unreliable Metadata��How NSA Contributes to Drone Assassinations of the �Wrong People�
By: Kevin Gosztola
February 10, 2014A new report from journalists Jeremy Scahill and Glenn Greenwald highlights National Security Agency documents from NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, providing new details on how the NSA uses industrial-scale mass surveillance to launch drone strikes on targets. It shows the dependence on metadata and cell-phone tracking technology and the government�s refusal to question intelligence collected is a huge contributor to the assassinations of the "wrong people" by United States drones.
The top secret documents, detailed in one of the first stories to be published by the new media organization, First Look, shows the NSA has used SIM cards, the handset of a mobile phone, to "geolocate" people the NSA suspects are terrorists. However, there is no guarantee the suspected terrorist is carrying that phone when a drone strike is launched.
A former drone operator, who worked for Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), explained, "Geolocation cells at the NSA that run the tracking program � known as Geo Cell �sometimes facilitate strikes without knowing whether the individual in possession of a tracked cell phone or SIM card is in fact the intended target of the strike."
He further described, "Once the bomb lands or a night raid happens, you know that phone is there." The mere presence of the phone is considered to make the strike a "success." Even though it is unknown who was holding the phone, "It�s of course assumed that the phone belongs to a human being who is nefarious and considered an 'unlawful enemy combatant.� This is where it gets very shady."
Drone targets are also often located through the analysis of SIM card activity instead of the content of the calls. That means the patterns of movement or behavior are depended upon when making a decision to launch a strike. (This is how "signature strikes" work.) This results in "death by unreliable metadata."
The former drone operator told First Look, "People get hung up that there�s a targeted list of people," but, "It�s really like we�re targeting a cell phone. We�re not going after people � we�re going after their phones, in the hopes that the person on the other end of that missile is the bad guy."
He is certain that people nearby targets who are unknown have been killed. These people are either family members or others, who may have nothing to do with any of the activity which the government is targeting.
In October 2012, it was reported by The Washington Post that the administration of President Barack Obama was developing a database called a "disposition matrix." It would be a way to track the movement of targets on "kill lists" and help the government make determinations when to assassinate a terrorist suspect.
As this story from First Look would seem to suggest, the collection of data presumes the targets are terrorists from the initial phases of data collection to the moment a Hellfire missile rains down upon them.
The system of targeting and assassinating terrorist suspects works because "the people who use it trust it unconditionally," according to the former drone operator. Anyone raising objections is brushed off when objecting that decisions might be "rushed," dependent on "inaccurate" intelligence or just plain wrong.
"The most common response I would get was 'JSOC wouldn�t spend millions and millions of dollars, and man hours, to go after someone if they weren�t certain that they were the right person.� There is a saying at the NSA: 'SIGINT never lies.� It may be true that SIGINT never lies, but it�s subject to human error," the former drone operator recalled.
In other words, the "wrong people" can easily be killed in countries like Yemen, Pakistan and Somalia, where the US has had ongoing assassination operations.
At least 273 civilians in those countries have been killed in "unmanned aerial assaults," since Obama was first elected president, according to The Bureau of Investigative Journalism.
The report from Scahill and Greenwald emphasizes the lack of intelligence collected from human sources. Two sources of intelligence are often necessary for the launch of an attack on a target, but that data is typically two sources of supplied data from the NSA.
Remarkably, as a kind of anticipation of the backlash that could result from the publication of this story, NSA spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden gave the following the statement to First Look (in addition to apparently discouraging them from publishing the story):
After drone attacks, Hayden would have the world believe that the NSA collects detailed intelligence on who exactly was killed. This tracks with what The New York Times reported in June 2012, that "military-age males" found killed in "strike zones" are "combatants" until "there is explicit intelligence posthumously proving them innocent." And the standard for exculpating dead civilians would appear to be pretty high in order to aid the government in keeping their own civilian casualty counts low.
The report from First Look affirms the concerns of human rights organizations and also shows the aspect of the government�s "targeted killing" program, which The Washington Post neglected to spotlight last year when it covered the NSA�s role using documents from Snowden.
Stanford University and New York University law clinics previously called attention to an oft-ignored fact that, in the "war on terrorism," US intelligence has often led to the deaths of people who never should have been targeted:
Call it "confirmation bias." The NSA, CIA and JSOC, are all involved in an increasingly permanent war that involves targeting and assassinating individuals, who the agencies need to believe are dangerous people intent on doing harm to the United States in order to justify continued drone operations.
Yet, this can have horrific effects on people, including individuals who are not targeted and killed.
Attorney and former US Army platoon leader Brandon Mayfield, according to a story by Matthew Harwood, writer and media strategist for the ACLU�s Washington legislative office, was targeted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) particularly because of his religion and the fact that he was representing an alleged terrorist.
Read this excerpt to get a sense of how easy it would be for the CIA or JSOC to be ordering the assassination of people in countries, who pose no imminent threat at all to the US:
The FBI believed Mayfield was "acting on behalf of a foreign terrorist group." The Fourth Amendment was circumvented. The government went to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to obtain authorization to place Mayfield and his family under surveillance. FBI agents subsequently broke into his home and law office.
And, according to Harwood, they "rifled through documents protected by attorney-client privilege, wiretapped his phones, analyzed his financial records and web browsing history, and went through his garbage. They followed him wherever he went. Despite all this, the FBI never found a smoking gun connecting him to Madrid. They did, however, find Internet searches of flights to Spain and learned that he once took flying lessons. To FBI agents already convinced of his guilt, this was all evidence of Mayfield�s terrorist heart. The Web searches, however, were mundane. His daughter had to plan a fictional vacation for a school project. Flight lessons were indicative of nothing more than Mayfield�s interest in flying."
Evidence of innocence was, when found, was twisted to support "concocted theories" of guilt. Because the FBI did not have the evidence desired, it believed Mayfield "traveled overseas as part of this terrorist conspiracy under a false identity."
The Spanish authorities saved Mayfield. The FBI believed Mayfield was guilty until "Spanish authorities conclusively matched the print to the real culprit, Algerian national Ouhane Daoud. Only then did Mayfield�s traumatic journey into the stomach of the national security state end."
This is the problem of "voluminous data" collected every day�that it can imply guilt when there is none. Imagine if Mayfield had been a Yemeni, Pakistani or Somali. He would likely be dead.
A drone equipped with a "virtual base-tower transceiver" to act as a "fake cell phone tower that can force a targeted person�s device to lock onto the NSA�s receiver without knowledge" would have likely been employed. Mayfield�s family would be mourning his death if they were not killed along with him.

Our first Junior High game was fun, but sad- not just because Manning beat the sox off our boys, but because we had 3 cheerleaders ineligible due to grades. Only Megan and Christine could suit-up- and Christine broke her leg and will be on cruches for 6 weeks.
Guess how she did it- she was watching a cheer competition on ESPN and decided to practice some chants at home. you should see the bruise- ichk!

Desire a guy to just discuss with So here's the deal, I live in a really close knit community over and above Portland, and it pushes me insane half some time. So I need anyone to help me break free for somewhat. I don't need to sound conceded, but I really do find myself to get an intellectual, and it's tougher to relate and consult people my time because they don't seem to be on the similar page as me personally. The reason I am buying guy is because I actually do have some girlfriends which might be great conversationalists, on the other hand, it would be interesting to check out if a guy's perspective on some thing is any distinctive. Also, guys are also and not as dramatic and susceptible as girls are the industry plus. The reason My group is posting this for Craig's is because I wish to know someone outdoors my community. Age isn't really an issue, because I'm hoping for very friendship. I am seeking someone who is- STRAIGHTFORWARD, open minded, loving, confident, intelligent, reputable, and driven (and After all, it also doesn't hurt should you be good looking; P). Should you be most of these items, or all worth mentioning things, then I'd personally say you usually are qualified by my personal standards, otherwise I am NOT buying fuck buddy, a new drinking/smoking pal, and many others. so if that's the things you think you'll get rid of this, then I might assure you you are completely and absolutely wrong and responding is an enormous waste of both my time plus your time. Well nonetheless, if you want, hit me together, tell me a product interesting about on your own, and put consideredof your favorite bands/ music genres with the title. hope to consult with you soon!

Lately, I enjoy using the food processor over the mixer to combine my recipes and so the lemon cookies were an obvious next choice of baked good.
|Sunshiney goodness
|All lemon zest, no Sarah zest.
|Lemon sugar
|Flour, salt and baking soda
|Before: 12 tablespoons of butter
|After: The mixture should look like cornmeal.
|Pale, squishy dough
|Not quite the right shape, but close enough
Sometimes baked lemon goods have a tendency to be sickly sweet due to an overzealous use of sugar to balance out the tartness of the lemon. These cookies however do not have that particular problem. They are quite lemony, almost too much so for me even. On the whole, this recipe wasn't really one of my favorites, but then again I can't expect the whole book to be excellent.

PATIENTS at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children have become the first in Scotland to trial virtual reality headsets.
The children have been transported into space, swum through shipwrecks and fought off robotic spiders while wearing the devices – which can be used individually or can be linked up to a separate monitor to allow their families and staff members to join in.
The aim of the programme is to relieve children's worries in stressful situations and make them feel more comfortable in their surroundings.
The city hospital is the first to have the trial conducted by Specsavers' Iain McFadyen who will use the patient feedback to adapt the headsets for use in other Scottish hospitals.
The headsets offer a variety of virtual selections to transport the user on far flung adventures, but also have everyday options such as the beach and the British Museum to ensure young patients don't feel they are missing out on these activities.
Fiona O'Sullivan, arts programme manager at ECHC, said: "We are so grateful to Iain for trialing the headset at the RHSC. The children are all really enjoying it and we've had some hugely positive feedback so far.
"The headsets are a fantastic way to help young patients feel less anxious in a hospital environment.
"Once they have them on, the kids become completely immersed in the virtual world.
"It's a great release not only for the patients but also for their families too, and it's wonderful that we're able to bring them such a fun activity that everyone can get involved with.
"This is just one of the many activities that we provide to ensure children and young people's lives are less interrupted by illness; they are less scared of the hospital environment and have a more positive experience and it's been a huge success so far."
Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity (ECHC) and Specsavers in partnership came up with the idea of the headsets for all ages.
Last year, pupils at Wardie Primary School were given the chance to explore virtual reality. Around 300 children were given cardboard headsets as part of the Google Expeditions initiative, which aims to take students to places they would never be able to access on your average field trip.
Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity supports the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh and has contributed over £3 million towards its move to a new, purpose-built home in Little France in 2018.
Last month, the Evening News reported on the £5m plan to erect stained glass windows, musical installations and artwork for the new building.
The project collaborated directly with patients and their families to create a unique and therapeutic design programme suited to their needs.
The project is the largest capital commissioning programme for art in a new hospital in the UK.
It is being financed by £3.1m funding from the Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity and an additional £2m from the Edinburgh and Lothians Health Foundation.

Hair loss and acne
When I was 19 years old I used to scratch my head and pull out something attached to hair follicle during my studies, it repeated till the age of 21. At 21, my hairs became dry and dandruff arose. Since I was in midst of my studies I ignored them. But reaching age 22, I got my hair thin and showed little patch in the upper mid section of head, during which I was in vacation and used to masturbate twice a day for nearly two months. I practice very good food intake non-veg twice a week. But at the age of 23 I bald my head for the 1st time since my puberty and disappointed that my hair grew very slow and didn't reach the previous status. Having led to deep corners on either sides and patches on few sides my hair has become thin and skin had turned bit dark too. I see my scars thickening. I sleep late at night and use laptop since I am in higher degree now. I've decided to go to treatment but expect an expert to conclude my problem and give the reason beyond it. Please advice me.

Hi greetings. Thank you for a detailed history. Yet i would say certain critical points are missing in your history. Firstly, is there and family history of balding in the male members - your dad/your elder brother/maternal uncles ? also good food and non veg may not necessarily mean nutritious. You may be having androgenetic alopecia nd this needs to be dealt with after due eamination by a qualified dermatologist and use of hair care medicines/ procedures to stop hair loss and promote hair growth. Your skin needs to be examined to comment on cause of pigmentation. Kindly send in your queries / photos of lesions/answers on private follow up messaging .

Hello all,
I will be transitioning to the TFP method of pool care but currently have some expensive pool supplies I would like to use up before I fully transition. I currently use granular trichlor through the skimmer strictly for cya addition when needed. I use lithium hypochlorite for daily chlorination also through the skimmer (never use trichlor and lithium on the same day). I also have about 24 lbs of trichlor pucks to use up (probably a few years worth of cya for me) so once my granular trichor is used up I would like to use the trichlor pucks through an inline chlorinator for cya addition. My question is this, when I use the trichlor pucks in the chlorinator and make sure to turn the valve off, can I still use the lithium through the skimmer without creating a hazard? Also if happen to leave the chloinator valve on will I create a hazard? I have a very over sized pump (70 GPM) and over sized filter (27 SQ FT) for my size pool, just wanted to tell you this in case it may have an impact on this.
Thank you

Carnival Glory Cruise Review to Caribbean - Western
Sail Date: July 04, 2015
Ship: Carnival Glory
Cabin Type: Balcony
Cabin Number: 8304
Traveled As: Couple
Reviewed: 2 years ago
Review Summary
First I must commend the fantastic and friendly service from our dinning room waiters. Elizabeth and her crew where always available with assistance and eager with suggestions at diner. They were also entertaining as well. There could be more choices available for dining... throughout the ship. Most of what was available was very good.
The room service was also top notch thanks to Tiger at the helm.
I recommend this cruise.

found _vpn interesting.. does someone has the explanation of the above
status ?
i've the following pairs corresponding to some servers with some strange
problems. the tunnel goes up and the communication is established but
the IKE screen shows permanent creation/deletion of the SAs, sometime it
stops and stabalize quickly, sometimes it takes a while
the applications of the clients on each protected network don't have the
time to time-out, especially with TCP but with the tunnel up/down very
quickly, the consequence is something like a general slow down
I can understand the pair Used + Responder/Initiator, but not what's follows
--> where to obtain (even buy !) the information for all the status,
values, fields, attributes, etc.. + corresponding table between values
in ServerParameters / Communications, iManager fields, non displayed
fields, etc...
Gonzalo wrote weeks ago that everything is well documented.. i say bof !
and that ATT were available.. requested several times to my sales
account manager for some days with Novell advanced technical people. No
answer, so no way in europe apparently, even against money
Here are the status i don't explain :
inbound skip (xxx.xxx.94.210) SPI = 55B8A99A
inbound skip (xxx.xxx.94.210) SPI = 92435135
inbound skip (xxx.xxx.94.210) SPI = 92435135

r some principal part of her for a voyage or series of voyages or for a period of time (see Caffin v Aldridge [1895] 2 QB 366; [1895] 2 QB 648 for discussion on hiring of entire capacity of ship)"2
Here, I am employed by a company which is in the process of negotiating a time charter of vessels for the ship owner. My duty is to give an advice about the Paramount Clause, and differences among them. "There are several standard agreements, such as box time, or New York Produce Exchange (NYPE). Box time is favored more than NYPE, which dates to the 1920s and contains archaic language"3
According to the provisions stated in "the unaltered Time Charter Party Outlines, it is the Charterer (rather than the possessor) who is primarily in charge of loading, storing, and discharging the load. Nevertheless, the Master is always entitled to supervise those operations and there may be certain situations where responsibility shifts back to owners"4
In contrast, not odd for Charter parties to alter to make the master responsible for storing, loading, and finally discharging procedure and, in those cases, the liability is reassigned, even where the stevedores are occupied by the Charterer. "At the close of the 19 C, the United States Congress enacted the Harter Act, 46 U.S.C. §190, et seq. (1893), to protect American shippers from comprehensive limitation of liability clauses found in bills of lading issued, primarily, by British liner companies carrying American goods to England"5
In the case of time charter, it is the hiring of a ship for a particular period of time; the owner still controls the ship, but at the same time the charterer chooses the ports and directs the ship where to go. For Chartering out any of the ships by shipping and trading organizations, BPCL, empanelled dealers registered with BPCL, and oil majors, will be intimated on the list of all positions, cargo grades, trading part, laycan etc. Negotiations in the business reveal that,

United States District Court, M.D. Pennsylvania
June 1, 2017
Mike Baloga Plaintiffv.Pittston Area School District and Jim Serino Defendants
Honorable Richard P. Conaboy United States District Court
consider here three motions arising from discovery disputes
between counsel. Plaintiff has filed two of these motions,
both of them motions for sanctions. (Docs. 28 and 30).
Defendant has filed a Motion to Limit Deposition Testimony
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(d)(3). (Doc.
36). We note at the outset that the Court has broad authority
to craft an order "...to protect a party or person from
annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or
expense, including one or more of the following:... (D)
forbidding inquiry into certain matters, or limiting the
scope of disclosure or discovery to certain matters".
See Rule 26(c)(1)(D). We shall consider these motions in the
order filed. Before doing so we briefly describe the context
for each.
case stems from Defendants' decision to reassign
Plaintiff from his position as a custodian in the high school
building of the Pittston Area School District to a similar
position in the district's elementary school. Plaintiff
also functions as the Vice-President of the union that
represents all Pittston Area School District support staff.
His principal allegation is that he was transferred in
retaliation for telling Defendant Jim Serino, the maintenance
director of the Pittston Area School District, that staff
morale was low due to the District's decision to schedule
work on Martin Luther King Day, January 15, 2016. Plaintiff
alleges further that the same day he voiced his concerns
about employee morale he was transferred to the primary
school location. He contends that he was reassigned for
promoting union concerns and that Defendants'
reassignment of him was designed to chill or to interfere
with legitimate union activity. This, Plaintiff contends, was
an abridgment of his First Amendment right of free speech
that, due to Pittston Area School District's status as a
state actor, constitutes a violation of 42 U.S.C. §
Plaintiff's First Motion for Sanctions. (Doc.
first motion concerns the deposition of Matt Szumski on May
17, 2017. Plaintiff asserts that Mr. Szumski's deposition
was not properly noticed. Plaintiff's counsel stated that
she objected to the deposition going forward due to improper
notice and that, despite her objection, Defendants'
counsel deposed Mr. Szumski in her absence.[1] Plaintiff
requests: that the deposition be re-opened to afford
Plaintiff's counsel an opportunity to cross examine Mr.
Szumski; that Defendants be required to unilaterally bear the
costs of both the original and re-opened depositions; and
that Plaintiff be awarded an unspecified monetary sanction
and attorney fees in connection with the Szumski depositions.
counsel explains that Plaintiff's counsel should have
been aware of his intention to depose Mr. Szumski on March
17, 2017 because his paralegal had informed Plaintiff's
counsel that Matt Shumsky (sic) was intended to be a deponent
by email dated February 21, 2017. See Doc.
31-1.[2] It must be noted, however, that a
subsequent (February 24, 2017) letter from Defendants'
counsel to Plaintiff's counsel did not indicate that Mr.
Szumski was among the five proposed deponents for March 17,
Plaintiff points out (Doc. 29 at 2) Rule 30(b)(1) of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure states that "[a] party
desiring to take the deposition of any person upon oral
examination shall give reasonable notice in writing to every
other party to the action." The Court finds that
Defendants' counsel's misspelling of Mr.
Szumski's name in his correspondence coupled with his
omission of Mr. Szumski's name in his subsequent letter
to Plaintiff's counsel defeats any notion that he
supplied Plaintiff's counsel with the requisite
"reasonable notice" contemplated by Rule
30(b)(1). Accordingly, Mr. Szumski's deposition may be
reconvened in order to give Plaintiff's counsel a
reasonable opportunity to cross-examine him.
other requests that Defendant pay some monetary sanction and
be required to pay the full cost of both Mr. Szumski's
depositions is denied because the Court finds that
Defendants' counsel made an attempt, albeit unsuccessful,
to provide notice and that his conduct was not so egregious
as to require Defendant to bear these costs unilaterally.
Plaintiff's Second Motion for Sanctions (Doc.
second motion for sanctions seeks to reopen the depositions
of Kenneth Bangs and James O'Brien due to Defendants'
counsel's direction to these deponents not to answer
certain questions posed by Plaintiff's counsel. Plaintiff
specifically complains that: (1) Defendants' counsel
refused to allow Mr. Bangs to answer a question regarding his
receipt of "comp time" as a salaried employee;
and (2) Defendants' counsel refused to allow Mr.
O'Brien to answer a question regarding an allusion to
back taxes he may owe as a result of his operation of a
counsel's question to Mr. Bangs, a maintenance supervisor
at Pittston Area School District, insinuated that by
accepting "comp time" as a salaried employee he
was somehow engaging in criminal activity. Plaintiff's
counsel's line of questioning also solicited a legal
opinion from a lay person who had no apparent expertise to
support such an answer. Defendants' counsel instructed
Mr. Bangs not to respond to these questions on the grounds
that he was not going to allow Mr. Bangs to potentially
incriminate himself and that Plaintiff's counsel's
questions were both oppressive and irrelevant to the subject
matter of the case.
counsel's questions to Mr. O'Brien, a warehouse
supervisor at Pittston Area School District, [3] delved into
whether he owed back taxes in connection with his operation
of a tavern which he sold in 2008. Defendants' counsel
objected to this line of questioning as harassment and as
irrelevant to the subject matter involved in this law suit.
Plaintiff's counsel contends that Mr. O'Brien's
potential debt for back taxes reflects on his credibility and
makes this line of questioning relevant. The Court will
observe that, had Mr. O'Brien been convicted of tax
evasion, that would certainly reflect upon his credibility.
However, his potential debt for back taxes, to the extent
there is one, sheds no light on his credibility or the lack
thereof since many honest people owe back taxes for reasons
that have nothing to do with dishonesty.
reviewed Plaintiff's complaint, the briefs filed by the
parties, and the deposition transcripts provided by the
parties, the Court finds that Plaintiff's counsel's
line of questioning to both Mr. Bangs and Mr. O'Brien
ranged too far afield from any subject matter relevant to the
issues in this case and were unduly oppressive as well.
Accordingly, the Court finds that Plaintiff's counsel has
had ample opportunity to question both men and, as such, will
deny Plaintiff's second motion for sanctions in all
Defendants' Motion to Limit ...

If you need to catch up...
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Praying on all occasions and carrying scripture in our pockets are two things we can do to meet our needs for fellowship with God and spiritual growth.
Even when our times aren't quiet.
But - as I see it - the third need we have which Quiet Times fulfill, can only be met by God, Himself. We need Him to cover us with His love, and that is something over which we have no control. It is completely up to Him to do it.
I can point to many times when I have been reading my Bible and God has shown me something so delightful, I get the sense He just gave me a big kiss. And there are times when I have been praying about something and when the answer finally comes, it's like God is embracing me in a tender hug.
I simply love it when these events occur.
But an even greater delight for me has been the realization that I don't have to be doing "spiritual" things in order for God to pour His love into me. He'll do the pouring whenever He wants to. He is present in every moment and never wastes an opportunity to show Himself. I just need to be paying attention so I don't miss Him.
And do you know what I have noticed? My children give God lots and lots of opportunities to show Himself! It makes sense, doesn't it? As mothers we're with our children more than we're with anyone else, right? So who better for God to use to demonstrate His love to us, than our children?
I am absolutely convinced God uses my youngest child, Matthew, to hug me and kiss me and tell me He loves me. And the things God has shown me about Himself through the every-day interactions I have with my children are a treasure to me. I could write them all out for you here, but that would make for a very long post...And I've already written about them in Finding Joy!
The point is, God loves you and He is telling you about His love all the time. Look at the blue sky. Look at the orange and yellow and red leaves lining the sky. (My apologies to those of you who don't see this picture when you look out the window. You have your warm winters. I have my beautiful autumns!) When I see this display of God's handiwork I am convinced again of His love. If He didn't care about us, why would He create such a glorious view?
And this awesome God who loves you so much is constantly revealing Himself to you - in the beauty of His creation, and even in the busy-ness of His creatures. Watch for it, Mom. In the midst of the noise, in the times that aren't quiet, even in the struggle - God is using you little noise-makers to love you. Don't miss Him!!!
And please come back Monday when - if I get my act together - you can see me wrap up this series.

Ah, now that's the question in some long term relationships. This might be his warning! Great poem, OEReplyDelete
I like the way it took him awhile to figure out what she meant. And the moment of realization was precious. The penny dropped. Loved it, Old Egg.ReplyDelete
Wonderful, Old Egg! This made me smile, love done the old-fashioned way! Apparently his girlfriend and his mother are eager and ready for the next step. I hope he is too!ReplyDelete
That's great! The logical step would be marriage.ReplyDelete
Nice when mom-in-law & daughter-in-law get on well. Wow! His Mom actually will treat her like her daughter! That's lovely :)
An honest story. I wonder why we are so afraid to just say what we mean without all the hinting around and about. People are a puzzle...especially people in love.ReplyDelete

Seth and I were happily doing laundry together one afternoon. And then he got quiet. So I went to check. He bailed on me. What a lousy laundry partner he turned out to be.

VATICAN CITY — The Vatican Christmas tree was lit Thursday, kicking off a full Advent and Christmas for the Holy Father.
As every year, a particularly busy schedule awaits Pope Francis during the Octave of Christmas, with the highlights being the celebration of midnight Mass, delivering his "urbi et orbi" blessing and message, and giving his World Day of Peace Message on Jan. 1.
But this year, security is expected to be especially tight around the Vatican, following a number of threats from Islamist groups, although their warnings are thought to have been largely bids to distract attention from their recent military defeats in Iraq and Syria.
On Christmas Eve, the Holy Father will celebrate Christmas Mass "during the night" in St. Peter's Basilica. It does not actually take place as a midnight Mass, as it begins at 9:30pm Rome time, but a throng is still expected to attend and hear the Pope's homily on the meaning of Christmas.
On Christmas Day at noon, the Pope will deliver his annual Christmas message, ahead of the traditional blessing and message urbi et orbi ("to the city of Rome and to the whole world"). In his message, he is expected to single out areas of considerable suffering in the world, in particular the continuing conflict in Syria, tensions on the Korean Peninsula and social unrest in Venezuela.
But he is expected to conclude with the Church's timeless message of joy and hope, explaining that Christmas is about peace on earth to men and women of goodwill and that the liturgical celebration celebrates the birth of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, and is, therefore, a time to rejoice.
Both the Mass on Christmas Eve and the Pope's Christmas message will be broadcast by EWTN with live commentary in English.
On the first day after Christmas, the feast of St. Stephen, the first martyr, the Pope will recite the Angelus at noon in St. Peter's Square. The following day, Dec. 27, the Holy Father will hold his weekly general audience, possibly again in St. Peter's Square, depending on the weather.
The Pope's next major engagement will be on New Year's Eve, when he will lead the celebration of First Vespers for the Solemnity of Mary, the Most Holy Mother of God, at St. Peter's Basilica.
After vespers, which will begin at 5pm Rome time, the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed on the altar for a period of adoration, and the traditional hymn Te Deum will be sung in thanksgiving at the conclusion of the civil year. The liturgical celebration will conclude with Benediction of the Most Holy Sacrament.
This Year's Crèche
After the ceremonies within St. Peter's, Pope Francis is expected to visit the larger-than-life-size presepe, or crèche, in St. Peter's Square that was inaugurated Dec. 7, where he is expected to spend some time in silent prayer.
This year, the crib scene is a donation from the ancient Abbey of Montevergine in the Campania region of southern Italy. The scenery and crib figures, in 18th-century Neapolitan costumes, have been produced by artisans in a local workshop and are inspired by the theme of the "Seven Works of Mercy."
Made of colored terracotta with garments in traditional fabrics, the crib contains 20 statues, each about 2 meters tall, positioned in an area of about 850 square feet.
Accompanying the Nativity scene is a giant Christmas tree, 90 feet high, given by the Archdiocese of Elk, in northeastern Poland, and decorated with stars and baubles designed by young cancer patients from several Italian hospitals. A number of children from the Spoleto-Norcia Archdiocese, an earthquake-hit area of central Italy, also took part.
Until 2015, the crib remained in St. Peter's Square until the traditional end of the "Christmas Cycle" — the feast of the Presentation of the Lord, 40 days after Christmas. But starting last year, the tree and the crib have been taken down on the feast of the Baptism of the Lord, which this year will take place Jan. 7, 2018. It will mark the traditional end of "Christmastide."
On Jan. 1, Pope Francis will offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for the Solemnity of Mary, the Most Holy Mother of God. The Mass will begin at 10am Rome time and will also be broadcast on EWTN with live English commentary.
The Pope's message this year, released, as is customary, shortly ahead of the Christmas celebrations, is on the theme "Migrants and Refugees: Men and Women in Search of Peace." The Holy Father makes a plea to show compassion and embrace all those forced to leave their homelands by carrying out four actions: "welcoming, protecting, promoting and integrating."
After the Mass on New Year's Day, Pope Francis will pray the Angelus at noon with all the faithful in St. Peter's Square and around the world.
Edward Pentin is the Register's Rome correspondent.
When I see Vatican City 'welcoming, protecting, promoting and integrating' mobs of people demanding all sorts of things within its huge walls…I will still not do likewise.
Except, of course, for those immigrants who obeyed the law to enter my country. And yes, dear bishops, it is my country (twenty five years defending it) not theirs.
"My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty". Liberty, not of the politically correct chaos which the bishops endorse.
Beautiful. Merry Christmas to all.
And lighting the Christmas tree before the 17th of December? Are we celebrating Christmas at the same time as Advent now?!
More like, "welcoming, protecting, promoting and submitting."
Beautiful ! All praise , all glory , all honor , is Yours Almighty Father forever and ever Amen !
Do they still celebrate Christmas at the Vatican?
I was at the Vatican nativity scene the evening of Dec 7. I have to say I am glad Edward Pentin explained the significance of the extra characters around the holy family. So now I know the naked figure meant we should clothe the naked, and the man on the hospital stretcher meant we should heal the sick, etc, but it wasn't at all obvious to the average pilgrim. I have to add that when I was there the songs coming from the display were "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town". Not at all what your average pilgrim was expecting from a major religious display at the Vatican. It was not appropriate for this religious site.

Every Little Movement The book begins with a discussion of Frncois Delsarte as a scientist who
discovered how the human body moves under the stimuli of emotions. It proceeds to the laws he developed as a result of his research and continues by discussing the application of the science of Delsarte to the art of the dance. Shawn then goes on to describe how Delsarte has influenced the development of American modern Dance.

Chelsea will return to Premier League action this evening as they visit Bournemouth to take on some familiar faces in Nathan Ake and Asmir Begovic.
After a difficult start to October, Chelsea have enjoyed a much better last seven days. After overcoming a deficit and defeating top-6 side Watford 4-2 at the Bridge, the Blues also managed a 2-1 victory over Everton in the fourth round of the EFL Cup, which included a first club goal for Antonio Rudiger. Both Danny Drinkwater and 17-year-old Ethan Ampadu made their first career starts for Chelsea in the EFL Cup win, adding to the positives that have come as a result of back-to-back wins.
Today's opposition, Bournemouth, are also fresh off two solid wins. The Cherries defeated Stoke City 2-1 away in the Premier League last weekend before beating recently-relegated Middlesbrough 3-1 in their own EFL Cup match. Eddie Howe's side currently sit at 19th in the league with 7 points though, and will need to make use of the confidence gained from recent results if they are to continue their climb out of the relegation zone.
These two teams were also drawn to play one another in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup following their wins this week, which adds a little extra to this game as each team looks to step up and set the tone for both matches.
Victor Moses is still out and the squad will have to be patient regarding his return, but Davide Zappacosta has replaced the Nigerian well at right wing-back in recent weeks. There is good news in that N'Golo Kante is progressing well following his injury with France in the last international break, however it is likely that the midfielder's return will come against Roma in the Champions League in a few games time as opposed to this evening on the South coast. Danny Drinkwater could finally be available for a Premier League fixture following his Chelsea debut against Everton on Wednesday.
Although Chelsea are nearly at full strength, it is possible we will continue to see some squad rotation from Antonio Conte, with the Champions League match against Roma also very important following the 3-3 draw that was played about between the two sides a couple of weeks ago.
Injury-wise, Bournemouth are most worried defensively with Tyrone Mings and Brad Smith still struggling to find their way back to full strength. However, manager Eddie Howe has said that he could turn to youngster Jack Simpson who impressed in their EFL Cup match. Ryan Fraser may also be out with a knock, while striker Josh King is also doubtful after needing scans for an issue with his back and missing out on their last two wins. Jermaine Defoe also missed those victories but Howe expects the forward to be available tonight, while ex-Chelsea men Nathan Ake and Asmir Begovic are also set to play.
Antonio Conte started off his pre-match press conference by talking about the remaining injuries, but also reassured the fans that the squad will compete as normal no matter how thin it may seem.
"Moses is out. For him we must have patience. N'Golo is still not ready. I hope to have him back for the Roma game. We also want to find new potential players like Ampadu, we are doing big work."
Conte also urged his side to remain focused against this Bournemouth side that is better than they appear.
"We must pay great attention. This will be a really tough game against a team whose position in the table is not right."
Eddie Howe used his time to explain that the Cherries would like to build on the confidence they've gained from these last two games.
"There's been a boost in the squad, we've been really pleased with the last two results. We now move onto another big game here, the mood here's very good. It's a long season and we didn't want to become detached, so the Stoke win was important. More importantly, it was about building confidence and getting the good feeling back in the squad, that's been carried through this week as well."
The Blues really should take the win here over 19th placed Bournemouth. It may be closer of a game than everyone will expect because of Bournemouth's ability when playing at home, but I'm expecting Conte to put a team out that is more than capable of beating the Cherries and continuing the momentum that Chelsea have started to gather. 3-1 win.

These writings present the rationale behind Lopukhov's attempt to develop a "symphonic" ballet that would integrate the formal and expressive elements of dance and music. They also show his finely detailed knowledge of the classical heritage and his creative efforts to transmit major works to future generations. This edition explains not only the making of his own controversial Dance Symphony but also the issues he saw at stake in productions of Giselle, The Sleeping Beauty, and other key works by Petipa and Fokine. Lopukhov's writings argue the details of choreographic devices with an unusual degree of precision, and his comments on composers and the musical repertoire used by his predecessors and contemporaries are equally revealing. Stephanie Jordan's introduction deftly situates these writings within the context of Lopukhov's life and career and in relation to the theories, aesthetics, and practices of dance in the twentieth century.

Chambray "flowers" accent the hem of the dress, and I had enough leftover material to create bow-ties for the boys (photo coming soon!). The sleeves and pockets became a pair of "cargo pants" for Nathan, and I salvaged all of the pretty buttons for a future project. I dug into my stash of buttons and found four pale yellow ones for the back of the dress. Yippee!!! (See...it pays to save those buttons!)
Since the forecast is for cooler weather to return, I decided that Zola might need a jacket to go with her dress. I thumbed through my stash of thrift-store t-shirts and found the perfect shade of yellow, then found my pattern for a girls' raglan sleeved jacket and modified it, adding trim around the neck and front openings that I top-stitched with a flower motif...and lace edging on the sleeves and hem. My mother-in-law gave me a huge bag of lace trim...including many yards of pastel yellow, blue and pink lace. This was the perfect accent for this little jacket. A matching "flower" trim at the neckline to cover the snap fastening provided the finishing touch!
I cannot wait to see how pretty Zola looks - or how adorable Timothy and Nathan will be in their coordinating (store-bought on clearance) button-down shirts with matching bow-ties! Maybe they will stand still long enough for me to get a photograph to post!
I think our kiddos will look pretty darn cute on Easter Sunday...and I didn't break the bank for these outfits. Since I splurged and bought the two shirts and a yard of fabric for the dress, total cost was somewhere around $30. For a one-of-a-kind "look" for three children...I'd say that's pretty hoppin' good!
TA-DA!!! Don't they look adorable?!

L.A. LIFE, Daily News –June 29, 1985
By Terry Young
Drifter in Faith Finds an Anchor in Course
As a teenager, Ginney Ererly went from door to door expounding
the virtues of being a Jehovah's Witness. But at 18, she
says she found the faith "flawed" and fell away from it.
After graduating from college, she left for Puerto Rico to
immerse herself in a different culture. But after three
years of living in what she considered an environment too
dominated by men, she came back to Los Angeles.
Working at a beachfront restaurant, Ererly bumped into a
man with money and drugs. And she latched onto life in
the fast lane, until she says she saw her friends' lives disintegrating. So
she pulled out of a nosedive.
Ererly, 42, who has drifted in and out of philosophies, says
she has now found something to cling to – the three-volume set
of A Course in Miracles.
The books sit in a pile in a corner by the fireplace in her
Van Nuys apartment. But they aren't collecting dust. She,
like other believers in A Course in Miracles, uses the
books daily as a devout Christian might consult the Bible
or a Jew would look to the Torah.
One of the three books is a daily workbook containing 365 lessons. The lessons have taught her that "people around us are just a witness of what is going on inside us."
"When I get angry at someone," says Ererly, who has curly
brown hair and clam, blue eyes, "I am just angry inside."
There are no prohibitions against anger, but she says her
faith has taught her that the feeling isn't worth the effort. Her
faith does not restrict swearing, but she chooses polite words. Her
faith doesn't prohibit drug use, but she says she no longer
desires them.
She says she was skeptical at first. "A friend had told me about the course, and I got the book, but I really couldn't seem to figure it out. But one day, I happened to pick it up, since I had kept it next to my bed, and when I started reading, it started making sense," Ererly says.
Embracing the faith, Ererly says she believed the change
in perception caused by the books led to improvements in her
She found herself spending less time at a favorite bar and
more time reflecting on A Course in Miracles. She formed
her own study group and talks enthusiastically about her
view of life.
Miracles come to her often. "It is just a shift in the
way I see things," she says when describing her miracles.
"I used to see my boss as an ungiving tightwad," she confesses,
"but now I see that I was judgmental, and by judging, I was in
With a laugh, she says she considers that attitude change
about her boss "a miracle."
They firmly believe that miracles do happen paying attention suddenly cuts in front of you. You don't collide. But you are filled with a sudden anger, even though nothing happened except that you had to come to a stop."
The rage, she says, is senseless. It doesn't bother the
person who wandered by. It only eats at the person who
experiences it, she points out.
Miracles occur, Camplin says, when there is a change in perception. To
forgive that anger-producing event is a miracle, she contends. And
that is all the course requires.
"In truth, we are all spirit," Camplin says, "and the body
is just an expression."
There is no price tag attached to this faith, Camplin says. There
is no requirement of money offerings. There are no temples
to build.
Skeptics might ask what is demanded by the faith. "Nothing,"
Camplin replies.
Believers don't recruit. New members are "drawn" to the course on their own, Camplin says.
Indeed, the teaching does seem to attract seekers, people
who have become dissatisfied with their religious upbringing.
Cindy Williams, a 37-year-old Canyon Country resident who
was once a practicing Baptist, is among those seekers.
She had been divorced and fell into a period of disillusionment
as she raised her three children. "I had been taking courses
and reading books. I had been exploring different ideas
of how I might feel OK."
Now a temporary secretary, Williams says she was "leery"
when she first heard about the group. "I thought it might
be a brainwash group or one of those kooky groups that try
to get all your money," she says.
After embracing the belief, she says her life has made steady
improvement. She doesn't let the problems of this world
bother her. She strives to get in touch with her real self
– the spiritual self.
Until then, she says she will strengthen her faith by looking
for the miracles that will help her deal with the problems
of everyday life. "I've got my feet firmly planted on this
It does not surprise Lucky Altman that faiths are developing
that incorporate psychology and religion. Altman, director
of the inter-religious studies program at the National Conference
of Christians and Jews, says many people become disillusioned
with "mainline" religions because they may think they ignore
individual needs.
"Some teachings have been too involved with don't and punishments,"
she says. However, it is a matter of perception. The
10 Commandments, for instance, could be turned around to
say "tell the truth" instead of "don't lie" or "love life"
instead of "don't kill."
She says mainline religions must incorporate a change in
perspective if they are to succeed at motivating good behavior
and worship while making individuals feel good about themselves.
'Religions have fences around them with do's and don'ts. A Course in Miracles eaches us not to make judgments.'

Granted, we had plenty of people settle here in the early days in a quest to believe and practice those beliefs away from the oppression of the established churches of Europe, but they weren't the only people to leave Europe and settle here. There were plenty of people who were only nominal members of any church, or followers of the Enlightenment philosophers such as Voltaire who emphasized reason as the primary source of authority and knowledge. Or they were just farmers and trappers and whatnot who had no real use for religion in their life and were happy to go about their daily lives and work without need for religion. There was a lot of philosophical diversity in the early colonies which became the United States.
And in fact the the lawyers and merchants who formed the intellectual class from whom the founding fathers of this nation emerged were mostly followers of the Enlightenment, men such as Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, John Hancock, the Adams's of Boston, and Benjamin Franklin, self-declared Deists who believed in a higher power but denied the legitimacy of any formal religion. Even that ultimate gentleman farmer cum soldier, George Washington, considered himself a Deist. And it was these people who wrote our founding documents and created a purely secular, not religious, government.
The U.S. Constitution is the rock-solid foundation of the government of the United States; it establishes and guides our whole form of governance, from the legislative to the judicial to the administrative. It is, to use a Judeo-Christian reference, the Ten Commandments of the nation. It was written by men dedicated to reason and the Age of Enlightenment (principally James Madison, who himself was a protegé of Thomas Jefferson, probably the prime advocate of Enlightenment thinking, along with Benjamin Franklin, among the founding fathers), and it never mentions God, Jesus Christ, the Church, or the Bible. Never. Not even once. It only actually mentions matters pertaining to religion once, in the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
The key phrase in that amendment is known in U.S. jurisprudence as the Establishment Clause - "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." - which at the very beginning of our national existence says that the government cannot sponsor or enforce a religious belief and practice on the American people. There are people who argue that it does no such thing, that the amendment only says that the government can't favor one religion over the other. But the evidence, from the very records of the Constitutional Convention itself, along with the writings of the men who wrote the document, says otherwise.
The Library of Congress's Congressional Research Service (CRS) has released an annotated Constitution, and the Columbia University Law School has put a hyperlinked version online, which you can find here. The annotations quote the debates and discussions entered into at the convention, as well as the documents which express the ideas of those attending. The annotation page for the First Amendment can be found here, but I want to include passages from the "overview" section along with the footnotes for that section (included in brackets after the passage) that speak directly to the matter.
Madison's original proposal for a bill of rights provision concerning religion read: "The civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship, nor shall any national religion be established, nor shall the full and equal rights of conscience be in any manner, or on any pretence, infringed." [1 Annals of Congress 434 (June 8, 1789).]Obviously Madison and the others were intent on keeping the U.S. government out of the business of religion. Note especially this quote from Madison in the Annals of Congress:
The language was altered in the House to read: "Congress shall make no law establishing religion, or to prevent the free exercise thereof, or to infringe the rights of conscience." [The committee appointed to consider Madison's proposals, and on which Madison served, with Vining as chairman, had rewritten the religion section to read: "No religion shall be established by law, nor shall the equal rights of conscience be infringed." After some debate during which Madison suggested that the word "national" might be inserted before the word "religion" as "point[ing] the amendment directly to the object it was intended to prevent," the House adopted a substitute reading: "Congress shall make no laws touching religion, or infringing the rights of conscience." 1 Annals of Congress 729–31 (August 15, 1789). On August 20, on motion of Fisher Ames, the language of the clause as quoted in the text was adopted. Id. at 766. According to Madison's biographer, "[t]here can be little doubt that this was written by Madison." I. Brant, James Madison—Father of the Constitution 1787–1800 at 271 (1950).]
In the Senate, the section adopted read: "Congress shall make no law establishing articles of faith, or a mode of worship, or prohibiting the free exercise of religion, . . ." [This text, taken from the Senate Journal of September 9, 1789, appears in 2 B. Schwartz (ed.), The Bill of Rights: A Documentary History 1153 (1971). It was at this point that the religion clauses were joined with the freedom of expression clauses.]
It was in the conference committee of the two bodies, chaired by Madison, that the present language was written with its some[p.970]what more indefinite "respecting" phraseology. [1 Annals of Congress 913 (September 24, 1789). The Senate concurred the same day. See I. Brant, James Madison—Father of the Constitution 1787–1800, 271–72 (1950).]
Debate in Congress lends little assistance in interpreting the religion clauses; Madison's position, as well as that of Jefferson who influenced him, is fairly clear... [During House debate, Madison told his fellow Members that "he apprehended the meaning of the words to be, that Congress should not establish a religion, and enforce the legal observation of it by law, nor compel men to worship God in any Manner contrary to their conscience." 1 Annals of Congress 730 (August 15, 1789). That his conception of "establishment" was quite broad is revealed in his veto as President in 1811 of a bill which in granting land reserved a parcel for a Baptist Church in Salem, Mississippi; the action, explained President Madison, "comprises a principle and precedent for the appropriation of funds of the United States for the use and support of religious societies, contrary to the article of the Constitution which declares that 'Congress shall make no law respecting a religious establishment."' 8 The Writings of James Madison (G. Hunt. ed.) 132–33 (1904). Madison's views were no doubt influenced by the fight in the Virginia legislature in 1784–1785 in which he successfully led the opposition to a tax to support teachers of religion in Virginia and in the course of which he drafted his "Memorial and Remonstrance against Religious Assessments" setting forth his thoughts. Id. at 183–91; I. Brant, James Madison—The Nationalist 1780–1787, 343–55 (1948). Acting on the momentum of this effort, Madison secured passage of Jefferson's "Bill for Religious Liberty". Id. at 354; D. Malone, Jefferson the Virginian 274–280 (1948). The theme of the writings of both was that it was wrong to offer public support of any religion in particular or of religion in general.]
During House debate, Madison told his fellow Members that "he apprehended the meaning of the words to be, that Congress should not establish a religion, and enforce the legal observation of it by law, nor compel men to worship God in any Manner contrary to their conscience." 1 Annals of Congress 730 (August 15, 1789).This is a clear declaration of a hands-off policy toward religion by the government, expressed by the architects of the document which is the foundation of that government.
There have been many acts by the government which have highlighted the thinking of these founding fathers, a philosophy that has come to be known as the "separation of Church and State", but perhaps one of the clearest actions on that philosophy came early in the history of the U.S. government with the 1797 treaty with Tripoli in the Barbary States of north Africa.
Joel Barlow was the consul-general to the Barbary states of Algiers, Tripoli, and Tunis; he was assigned by Commissioner Plenipotentiary of the U.S. David Humphries to broker a treaty with Tripoli in 1796. Most of the treaty concerns trade agreements, tariffs, rights-of-way for shipping, etc.; mundane stuff. But Article 11 of the treaty makes a bold statement regarding the attitude of the U.S. toward the religion of Tripoli and the other Barbary States:
As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.There it is, right out in the open in black and white on an official document of the U.S. government: "...the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..." In 1796, only seven years after the ratification of the Constitution. You can't get any clearer than that.
There's been an argument advanced that Article 11 says no such thing in the original Arabic document, and that it was a late insertion by the Dey of Algiers to allay the fears of the Pasha of Tripoli. But that's irrelevant, a straw man put up by opponents of church-state separation. No matter what the Arabic document says, Joel Barlow's English translation - including that eleventh article - is what was presented to President John Adams, who then presented it to the Senate, in printed copy and read aloud on the floor of the Senate. These were men who were in at the beginning of the nation, many of them former members of the Continental Congress, signers of the Declaration of Independence, and members of the Congress which wrote the Constitution. They ratified the treaty by unanimous vote on June 7, 1797, and President Adams signed it. They had all heard and read that phrase - "...the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..." - and no one objected; in fact no one said anything at all about it. Why? Because this is what they believed.
So those who would want to rewrite our history to conform to their particular, sectarian ideology, led most notably by David Barton (who interestingly has no degree in history but rather a bachelor's degree in religious education from Oral Roberts University) and his Wallbuilders organization, haven't a leg to stand on. By their own private writings and in the national documents they inspired and helped create, the "Founding Fathers" of the United States were not intent on creating a "Christian nation", but rather a fully secular government with a clear hands-off policy toward religion. There's really no qauestion of that at all.
