I publish a lot of stories about pastors gone bad and people who choose to sexually abuse children. Once in a while I find a good story to report. Like this one about removing the shame of a having ones name one a sex offenders website.
Joshua Tomlin was convicted of have sex with his 15 year old girlfriend when he was the tender age of 19. I would have broke his neck if it had been my daughter, even if she was a runaway who lied about her age, which appears to be the case here. There is a difference between sexual predication and teenaged trysts. Why is it that our legal system pursues both with such vigor?
With his name included on a popular state Web site that lists those convicted of having sex with underage girls along with rapists and pedophiles, he knows that volunteering as a coach for his 6-year-old daughter's soccer team is not even an option.
Two apartment complexes asked his family to leave after they found out about his conviction, and he worries that his daughter and 3-year-old son will start to wonder why a North Port police officer stops by their home to check on him once a month.
So when he found out about a new law giving him a chance to have his name stricken from the state's registry of sex offenders, he planned to use his income tax return to get a lawyer.
I've never been comfortable with the heavy hand used by the justice system when it comes to sex crimes. People like Tomlin are often caught in a net designed for more heinous offenders.

Northern Maine Medical Center, Fish River Rural Health offer public insurance help Monday
FORT KENT, Maine — The complexity of health insurance plans is intimidating even to the savviest consumer of healthcare services. The resources available for assistance can also be mind boggling for the consumer to select from, with the availability of online resources, call centers, fact sheets, brochures and helplines all offering consumer guidance. For individuals and families who are uninsured, navigating this complex system can be an overwhelming task to undertake.
For one-on-one assistance, NMMC Certified Application Counselors, Michelle Kelly and Shawna Larrabee, joined by Rita Haskins of Fish River Rural Health, are offering one more public session to assist consumers.
The session will be held Monday, Nov. 20, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the NMMC Medical Office Building, upper level. Counselors will be available all day for walk-ins; those who prefer to make an appointment may do so by calling (207) 834-1822.
As an additional resource to local healthcare insurance consumers, Northern Maine Medical Center offers resources on its website at www.nmmc.org/health-insurance-marketplace.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), a comprehensive healthcare reform law enacted in 2010, created what is called a Health Insurance Marketplace to assist people shop for and enroll in affordable health insurance plans. It is also known as the Marketplace or exchange. The open enrollment period begins Nov. 1 and ends on Dec. 15.
Open enrollment is a yearly period of time when people can enroll for coverage that will begin Jan. 1 of the coming year. Consumers must apply during this period or face penalties, or worse, the inability to purchase insurance benefits. Existing customers can also change their coverage during this period.
For more information, call 834-1822.

What leads to the practice of remembrance,
But not being overwhelmed by what we think we know?
What does that amount to,
But being able to hold one's ground?
It's standing in life's distracting currents,
Without being swept downstream.
It's being rooted in one's way while weathering the world's chaos,
And readiness to sway to any breeze coming from the Beloved's garden

Jo Little (1954 - 2017)
We are very sad to share the news of the passing of Mary Josephine (Jo) Little, our office manager for 18 years. With her warm smile and quiet wisdom, Jo was the keel that guided our ship for almost two decades managing the office, looking out for the faculty and staff and helping the program to flourish. She passed away after an unexpected and courageous battle with sepsis. The family hopes to establish a scholarship in Jo's honor.
A memorial/celebration of Jo's life was held on Sunday, April 30th at the United Methodist Church at the Corner of Anapamu and Garden in Santa Barbara at 3:00 PM. View Jo's Obituary at:
In recognition of Jo's dedication to UCSB for over 25 years the Chancellor has orderd that our campus flag be lowered in her honor on Thursday, May 4, 2017.

Airlines enlist social media to fight lengthy queues
Queues at US airport security checkpoints have become so long that airlines in America are asking passengers for help in a campaign to force the government to reduce the delays.
Airlines are now telling passengers to turn up at airports two hours early for US domestic flights. The airlines say it is not their fault and the revolt has begun.
Social media and the internet is the airlines' weapon of choice. Airlines for America, an airline industry trade group, has launched a website called iHateTheWait.com. It invites passengers to post photos of lengthy queues on Twitter and Instagram along with the hashtag #iHateTheWait.
The aim is to make the US government more aware of the problem and people's frustration with it.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has pledged to boost staffing levels and increase the use of bomb sniffing dogs. Dogs are more efficient and faster; they are also used, when necessary, to scan aircraft interiors. The TSA wants more money from the government to help shorten the queues.
Part of the problem is the huge numbers flying. About 140 million passengers (2.3 million per day) flew on US airlines during March and April compared to 136.2 million passengers in 2015 – a 63,000 passengers-per-day increase. That includes more than 17 million passengers (285,000 per day) on international flights.
A glance at #iHateTheWait on Twitter reveals that not all passengers are taking the campaign too seriously.
"Lol I want somebody to do a study showing how much of a man's life is spent waiting for a woman to get dressed," wrote Delano @Delanomusic.

AWESOME STAGES…WOULD LOVE TO ROCK THAT OUT..Put on your Shades!!! :))
The UFO team was in nearly full force in Miami last weekend, branching out as well as we could to absorb the magic that was Ultra 2012. Apologies if you weren't there and are tired of hearing about it, or if you were there and have already drooled over all the recap videos. We sat down as a team to try and piece together all that we could, even after agreeing that it even though it was a "you had to be there" kind of experience, and decided to share that discussion with you.
Sandwiched between South Beach flickering in the distance of the Atlantic Ocean on one side, and the looming architecture of downtown Miami on the other, Bayfront Park really felt like the Rave-opolis. The weather was pristine, the lineup was jaw-dropping, egos were left at the entrance, and it's rare you see a festival crowd this beautiful.

I have my own ways of judging the seasons. Spring arrives when we get our first day of 20 degrees. Autumn arrives when we get our first day under 20 degrees. Winter has arrived when we get a week of temperatures below 20 degrees and summer has arrived when we get a week over over 20 degrees. (20 is 68F)
Then there is my shower that I judge the seasons by. Twice a year in spring and autumn for about a month, I can just turn my hot and cold tap on in my shower and the water temperature will be right. In winter I turn both taps on and then reduce the cold. In the summer I turn the hot tap on, then the cold and then back off the hot water.
Cold water is stored in a tank on the roof before being pumped around the building, so if the earth is not responsible for warming the cold water, then it must warm a little in the tank.
It was rather wet last week, so I gave the balcony plants a leaf wash. The rain was coming in on an easterly and unusually completely wet the balcony, and my socks too when I walked out there in them and did not look down. There has been flooding in the western part of the state, and with some more falls tomorrow and Wednesday, more flooding is expected. Of course many farmers will complain that the rain is coming at the wrong time, because that is what farmers do.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Harry Meets Stanley
by Paul on 07/26/05 at 11:33 AM ET
Comments (0)
Harry Taylor recalls meeting Gordie Howe. "I guess I was a cocky rookie," he says. "I remember hitting him behind the net." That went pretty well, so when he saw Howe with his head down, Harry decided to hit him again. Only one problem: Howe was playing possum. "He was just inviting me to take a run at him. Then -- poing! -- all the lights went out for a while." Harry, 79, tells this story in Kenn and Tiina Shaw's backyard in Vic West. It's warm, almost too warm for the Toronto Maple Leafs sweater he's wearing, and the reflection from the Stanley Cup is hitting him right in the eyes. As Harry talks, his wife Irene dabs sunblock on top of his head, which seems appropriate -- this is, after all, Harry's day in the sun. The Stanley Cup really did visit Victoria, and Harry Taylor, on Monday afternoon. Normally the Cup spends its summers travelling to homes of the reigning champions, but after this lockout-scuttled season, it was decided to share it with the players who won the NHL title back in the 1940s and '50s.

U.S. stocks on Tuesday pivoted decidedly higher from an early slide out of the gate after the USTR said an increase in tariffs on some goods from China would be delayed. The U.S. Trade Representative said it would delay imposing 10% tariffs on certain Chinese products until Dec. 15, the USTR office said Tuesday. The USTR said the delay will apply to products including cell phones, laptop computers and video games. President Donald Trump has announced 10% tariffs on $300 billion in Chinese goods beginning Sept. 1, and the delay comes as officials from both sides spoke by phone. A USTR spokesman said U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin held discussions and officials would speak again within two weeks.

It can be used for a single loop or nested loops. It provides an unique $i value for every nested loop so you can use $i as a parameter in all your expressions in the running script.
By exit $i will be made empty so if you have a loop further on in the script you don't have to set $i in advance.

please help me i have a Dell E6400
when i start something it displays:
computer system,#8M0VK4J-2A7B is protected by a password authentication
please type in the system or administrator password
I tried to remove the pile , the battery and all but it didn't work
please is urgent
edited by moderator: Email address removed
Looks like the owner set a password on it. Looks like it's doing its job.
Ask the owner what the password is. If that's not possible, contact Dell, it's the only way to get the password cleared.
there is not another solution like short-circuit or another more safe
please it really important it's me the owner i forgot the bios password ans so on
I find if difficult to believe that you can forget a password that you use every time you turn the computer on!
You have no choice but to contact Dell. Laptop passwords are secure because laptops are very easily stolen.
This forum, like most others, does not normally help with forgotten passwords. The reason being it is impossible to verify that is actually the case. A laptop BIOS password is a theft deterrent and it is quite good. It is not normally possible to remove it without the manufacturers assistance. If it were easily removed it would serve no purpose. Removing the battery or shorting points on the motherboard will not work.
Contact Dell and be prepared to prove ownership.
Never post your email address on a public forum.

There are two starting points to the Juan De Fuca trail. One is from the South end through China Beach, which is the closest destination to Victoria. And the other is from the North through Botanical Beach which is located in Port Renfrew, very close to the starting point of the West Coast Trail. Many people who travel here to Vancouver Island to go backpacking like to do the West Coast Trail and then do the Juan De Fuca Trail or the opposite, Juan deFuca Trail and then the West Coast Trail. The trail is not very demanding. There are some minor hills and several switchbacks on the trail, but it is not a difficult trail to hike.
There are plenty of access points to the beach. Remember you are on the West Coast so be prepared as it will likely rain. The trail is very picturesque. There are lots of small creeks and rivers for you to gather water. Remember to watch the ground for animal tracks. I have seen many black bears, deer, and even wolves, but I have never seen a cougar. They are very reclusive animals. People say, "If you have seen cougar tracks in the forest, it is very likely the cougar has seen you. You need not worry about wildlife. Always keep your distance. Enjoy them from a distance and you should not have any problems. We pick up and drop off at both locations. The average time to finish the trail is about 5 days, 3 if you rush. But why rush?

It was funny when people tried to compare Leonard Floyd to former Vic Fangio star student Aldon Smith. In truth, Fangio was the only thing similar between two pass rushers that couldn't be more different. In addition to Smith being a head case and Floyd not, their body types and athletic traits are on opposite sides of the fence. However, it seems another young pass rusher has emerged in the 2018 class. One who might more closely resemble the former All-Pro.
Now people not familiar must understand why this is such a thing. Under Fangio, Smith was an unstoppable monster in San Francisco. In four seasons from 2011 to 2014, despite missing 14 games, he had 44 sacks. He averaged 11 sacks a season despite missing almost a full season of game action. That's insane. Since then people have wondered where and when Fangio might find his next Smith.
According to Matt Miller of Bleacher Report, there may be one name who's starting to creep into that profile. A player that emerged out of nowhere in the past few months.
Marcus Davenport's 2016 game vs. Texas A&M reminds me of Aldon Smith. His length, speed and natural gifts are insane.
— Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) April 14, 2018
Marcus Davenport could become a monster under Vic Fangio
The University of Texas-San Antonio is not your usual factory for NFL talent. In fact none of their players in school history were drafted prior to tight end David Morgan in 2016. The interesting thing though is Larry Coker was the head coach at UTSA when Davenport was recruited. Coker had a direct hand in developing future NFL stars like Vince Wilfork and Calais Campbell. He knows what good pass rushers look like.
So why is Davenport considered so much like Smith? One merely should look at the combine numbers for an idea:
- 6'4″
- 35-inch arms
- 263 lbs
- 4.78 in 40-yard dash
- 20 reps on bench
- 34-inch vertical
- 118-inch broad
- 7.19 three-cone
- 6'6″
- 34-inch arms
- 264 lbs
- 4.58 in 40-yard dash
- 22 reps on bench
- 33.5-inch vertical
- 124-inch broad
- 7.2 three-cone
There are some minor differences. Davenport is a little taller and faster. Smith was a little longer. Still, their weights, bench presses, vertical jumps and three cone times? Virtually identical. Even better. His two years at Missouri, Smith had 14.5 sacks. Davenport had 15 his final two years at UTSA. Pretty scary how similar they are, huh?
Marcus Davenport is a skrooonng man. pic.twitter.com/NH623ScdpI
— Ted Nguyen (@FB_FilmAnalysis) April 10, 2018
Truth be told there is one notable gulf between them. Smith was a far more polished pass rusher when he came out of Missouri. That's no surprise. The school was and still is known for excellent coaching in that area. Davenport still has a ways to go before he's ready to take on more experience NFL linemen. Then again that's why you pay Fangio the big bucks.
These were the same problems that bedeviled Floyd coming out of Georgia. He seems to have become a credible rusher in his own right and he didn't do it nearly as often as Davenport has in college. So he has that going for him, which is nice.

The class was a little brief, but I really did enjoy the way it was presented. The real life situation, with videos, and a famous company made this hit close to home. I really enjoyed the "choose your own adventure" format of it as well. Unfortunately it was so brief, where the $49 price seemed a little high in comparison to the content that was available in the other sources in the Executive Specialization series. I also would have liked a longer or more in-depth scenario. Lastly, for any of the "wrong choices" that were chosen, a debrief "why" they were wrong would have also helped. Even though there is room for improvement (and thus a 4 star rating and not a 5), I really did enjoy it and found it to be a very enjoyable way to end the series.

On September 23, 1916, by cable, telegraph and wireless, news flashed around the world that the aviator, Kiffin Yates Rockwell, after so many miraculous escapes, had at last fallen in combat for France. His comrades in Escadrille 124 mourned him as their best and bravest; France mourned him as a fighter not to be replaced; America mourned him as the second of her sons to fall in air combat, following so closely in the steps of Victor Chapman, her first. All the world paid tribute to him. For Kiffin Yates Rockwell was a leader in that group of young men who left the paths of peace in their own neutral countries to fight for France, and in her person, for civilization. Chapman, Rockwell, McConnell, Genet--these men were the pioneers of America in France, and in the air. They have all fallen on the field of honor, fell there before America entered the war. And now that over sixty thousand Americans, fallen under the Stars and Stripes, sleep in France beside these men, we realize some of the full measure of their achievement, and honor them for leading the way.
But in 1916 the majority of Americans were in that state of mind that echoed the slogan, "He kept us out of war," over the country in a triumphant presidential campaign. Why American boys should give their lives in the European war except as in a gamble for adventure was not clear to most Americans; why they should give them to France was a problem that rankled in the minds of many of our citizens at that time, even pro-German.
And so it was that his mother, in Asheville, North Carolina, asked herself why it was that she, a Carolinian by birth and sympathy, should sacrifice her son in France, and her questions were augmented by similar ones from relatives and friends all over the country. Kiffin, though gloriously dead, might have been saved, it seemed. She had tried to save him from himself by persistent entreaties to the Department of State in Washington to get her boy out of the French army, and by similarly persistent demands to the French Government to release her son. But before Kiffin fell she had come to see what he was fighting for, and it was not long after he fell before she was a sister in suffering to thousands of other American mothers who likewise had come to see why it was that their sons had to die in France.
Kiffin Yates Rockwell was the first North Carolinian to give his life in the world war, the first American volunteer for service in France, the first American to bring down a German plane, the premier fighter of his time in the Escadrille LaFayette, and after Victor Chapman, his comrade, the first American airman to fall in battle. He belongs to North Carolina by parentage on his father's side, and by residence, to South Carolina by parentage on the side of his mother, and to Tennessee by the actual event of birth. So it is that the sister states who share in common the glories of achievement in the records of the Old Hickory and Wildcat Divisions, also share in the glory of their premier fighter.
The father of Kiffin Rockwell was James Chester Rockwell, of Whiteville, in Columbus County, North Carolina. By vocation he was a Baptist preacher, by avocation a poet of promise. The Rockwell family is of French extraction, being lineally descended from Ralph de Rocheville. The first of the name to settle in America was the Puritan deacon, William Rockwell, who came to live in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in the year 1630. When the family came into North Carolina is not clear, but they were established
in this State before the Civil War, for from North Carolina Henry Clay Rockwell, the aviator's grandfather, went as a captain in the Confederate Army.
Kiffin's mother was Loula Ayres, daughter of Major Enoch Shaw Ayres, of South Carolina, himself a Confederate veteran. She comes also of French Huguenot extraction. An early member of the Rockwell family was on the staff of General Washington.
From these parents Kiffin Yates Rockwell was born in Newport, Tennessee, September 20, 1892. His parents had moved to Newport sometime before this in search of health for his father. He was named Kiffin in honor of William Kiffin, an English home missionary in the fifteenth century, and Yates for Matthew Yates, a foreign missionary from North Carolina in the nineteenth century. At the age of 26 his father died, leaving his mother to care for Kiffin, his elder brother, Paul Ayres, and a younger sister.
His mother became a teacher, and founded the system of schools that obtains today in the little town of Newport. While Kiffin was still in the grammar grades she moved with her family to Asheville, to give them better opportunities in education and herself in business. She took up the successful practice of osteopathy. Kiffin entered the Orange Street school, where he became a favorite pupil of Mrs. Mary Walden Williamson. Dr. George T. Winston, in a memorial to Kiffin Rockwell, quotes Mrs. Williamson in the following description of Kiffin at the age of fifteen:
"A handsome, intelligent, chivalrous boy of fifteen, immaculate in person as in honor, impatient of the tedium of school routine, restive, though ever courteous under restraint; with serious deep-set, gray-blue eyes, aglow with enthusiasm over tales of daring adventure; breaking rarely into surprising light of merriment." Even this early Kiffin and Paul pondered over the history of their ancestral country, France, and reached the conclusion that if France were ever attacked they would fight for her.
Kiffin's mother had hoped for him to lead a life of scholarship. With this in view, she encouraged him to pursue studies at Virginia Military Institute, and later at Washington and Lee University. Although Kiffin spent some years at Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee, it was with no love for scholarship, and no intention of leading a scholarly existence. One real association of school days that inspired him to the day of his death was membership in the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. Both he and his brother Paul were good fraternity men, loyal and ideal.
Without graduating he went from college into advertising journalism, organizing and conducting successfully a project for publishing advertising editions of newspapers. In this business he traveled over the United States and Canada, finally coming to rest in Atlanta, Georgia, as a member of the Massingale Advertising Agency. It was here that he was working when in August, 1914, Europe hurried into war. Kiffin and Paul Rockwell were on their way to France on August 3, 1914, by the first boat they could take. Landing in Liverpool, they made arrangements at the French embassy for entering the French army. From London they went by Havre to Paris, and there at the Invalides entered the French service on August 30, 1914. Training first at Rouen, then at Toulouse, and finally at Camp de Mailly, they made ready for a winter in the trenches with the Foreign Legion.
After many months in the trenches, he moved with his regiment to the 1915 battles in Artois. At the storming of Neuville-Saint-Vaast, May, 1915, he fell severely wounded in the thigh by a bullet. He recovered from his wounds, and by opportunity secured for him by influential friends, began the study of aviation, completing his education in the air in time to become, with Chapman, Prince, Thaw, Cowdin, McConnell and others, the organizer of the Escadrille LaFayette. His success was immediate. On May 18, 1916, at Hartmannsvillerskopp in Alsace, he brought
down the first German plane of the many to fall at the hands of the Escadrille LaFayette. In rapid succession he won the Medaille Militaire, the Croix de Guerre, and three palms for additional citations. He rose from pilot to brevet lieutenant in the space of four months. Over Verdun he was indefatigable, engaging in over thirty-four victorious flights, and winning the title, "Aristocrat of the Air." By September he had brought down three planes which officially were credited to him, and seven more of which there is no reasonable doubt as to his credit. Captain Thenault, his flight commander, said of him: "Where Rockwell was, the German could not pass, but was forced rapidly to take shelter on the ground." In one combat he was struck in the face by an explosive bullet. Refusing to retire for the day, he re-engaged the enemy and brought down another plane.
On September 23, 1916, Rockwell attacked the enemy near the same spot where he had won his first victory. Although he had come successfully through one hundred and forty-one previous battles, and single-handed had driven off ten German planes, this time fate willed that he should fall --killed by an explosive bullet from a German machine gun. He was buried at Luxiul with the honors of a general. "The best and bravest of us is no more," was the comment of his commander and his comrades.
Kiffin Rockwell's achievements in the air and previously in the trenches rank him as one of the greatest of the allied fighters. For his services he received the highest honor the French Government can give. But the most remarkable feature of his life is the perfect coordination of purpose and achievement in his spirit. He was indefatigable in battle because he was invincible in his conviction that he was defending civilization. In his school days, even, he had considered the possibility of France's being attacked and had resolved to fight for her. On August 3, 1914, he offered his services to the French Government. To his brother Paul he wrote, "If France should lose, I feel that I should
no longer want to live." But with all his love for France he retained his sense of responsibility as an American. "I am paying my part of America's debt for Lafayette and Rochambeau," was his expression that has been echoed and re-echoed by American fighters from private to General Pershing.
His attitude towards death was a triumphant assertion of immortality. In a letter to Mrs. John Jay Chapman about the death of Victor, he dwells repeatedly on the idea that death had no part in such a life as Victor's; that Victor is still alive and fighting because his spirit has passed into his comrades. On another occasion he gave expression to an attitude toward death that caught the imagination of the French, and became a part of their own thought. "From the day a man enters the army," he said, "he should consider himself as good as dead; then every day of life is just that much gained." Acting on this belief he hardly gave his attendants time to fill the gas tank of his plane and keep it in repair, so constantly was he fighting.
Not the least of his victories was his winning his mother's support. Mrs. Rockwell had rebelled against his going to France at all, and she had continued to move the American and French governments in efforts to get Kiffin back home, until finally Kiffin brought her to realize that he could not retire from the struggle to which he had committed himself, and that he would not if he could. For he wrote her in his last words that referred to death, "If I die I want you to know that I have died as every man ought to die--fighting for what is right. I do not feel that I am fighting for France alone, but for the cause of all humanity--the greatest of all causes." Catching up in these words the whole spirit of America as it arose at white heat for war, Kiffin not only won his mother to his cause, but his countrymen also. Of the thousands of Americans who followed him in death, he became an elder brother, a pioneer in the crusade for humanity.

The Last Supper
Leonardo da Vinci - Circa 1496 A.D.
Leonardo's Last Supper (L'Ultima Cena), famous the world over, is inside the Refectory at the Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie, in Milan. It was commissioned from the artist by Ludovico Sforza, also known as "il Moro". The sensitivity that can be seen in the painting is remarkable.
The event depicted is described in the Gospel according to St. John, the moment at which Christ, seated at the centre with his Apostles on both sides, reveals that He will soon be betrayed by one of them, which will lead to His crucifixion.
This intense moment creates a tumult of expressions. Some of the Apostles have risen to their feet, some approaching their Master. Gestures and facial expressions, horror and amazement, surprise and confusion, surround the main character.
This is set within an ingenious perspective that enhances Jesus' central position. By means of the perspective construction, the artist created the illusion that the refectory continues beyond the end wall, so that spectators can imagine themselves as participants in this event.
Leonardo highlighted the importance of the subject by means of diagonals that lead towards Christ. Everything is connected to Him and revolves around Him.
This monumental work revealed its inherent problems as regards preservation right from the start, due to the fact that Leonardo painted on dry plaster. The artist used the technique generally employed for paintings on wooden panels, instead of using the fresco technique. This caused the painting to deteriorate rapidly and prematurely.
Over the centuries, there have been many attempts to restore the Last Supper. The most recent operation went on for 22 years (1978 to 1999). It succeeded in revealing the original colours and many details that had previously been obscured.
According to legend, Leonardo da Vinci painted his self-portrait in the figure of Judas Thaddeus.
Leonardo worked on the fresco from 1494 to 1497, while also creating other paintings in the same period.
During the Second World War, the wall bearing the fresco was saved from air-raid destruction – which destroyed the library - by the sandbags that had been positioned to protect it.
The blue and red colours used for Jesus' clothing are a classic combination in the iconography for Christ and the Madonna. They express Christ's human (blue) and divine (red) identity, underlining the fact that on having completed His mission on earth, he will be transfigured.
The work has been analyzed in countless studies. Esoteric interpretations have been ventured, such as that in Dan Brown's book "The da Vinci code," which offered various readings of the painting.

I must confess a dirty little secret - I don't care what presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama say they will do to end the U.S. occupation of Iraq if they become president next year. Thousands more Iraqis and hundreds more U.S. troops will be dead by then, and for what? I want to know what Senators Clinton and Obama are willing to do to end the war this year. Surely I'm not alone in this desire, am I?
While George Bush, aided and abetted by a supine Congress, does his best impersonation of an extremely unpopular yet omnipotent emperor, especially on Iraq and foreign policy, Obama and Clinton are far from powerless in their current positions. As Senators, they could lead a filibuster to end funding for Bush's occupation of Iraq. This would show real leadership, and if they succeeded, two grateful nations would sing their praises for generations, regardless of whether either ever became president.
Even better would be for there to be no bill for them to have to filibuster. Obama, Clinton, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman John Murtha and other Democratic leaders should agree to simply not draft a bill to continue the war. They should tell Bush, "Sorry, the bank is closed; you'll get no more of the taxpayers' money to continue your quagmire" other than funds to safely and swiftly withdraw all of our troops and bases if money already appropriated needs to be augmented for this purpose (the merchants of death, I mean contractors, can pay their own way home from the windfall profits they've made in Iraq).
Furthermore, as a down-payment on the enormous debt we owe the people of Iraq and our veterans, the money that otherwise would go to continue the occupation (and Bush is expected to ask for well over $100 billion more for this year alone, on top of the more than $600 billion already spent over the last five years) should instead be appropriated for an interim United Nations or Arab League peacekeeping force (if the leaders of various Iraqi factions agree it is needed), reconstruction of Iraq's devastated infrastructure and economy, and greatly enhanced health care and other benefits for our returning veterans. Besides being the right thing to do, peace is cheaper than war.
Unfortunately, it looks like a war funding bill will be put forward by the Democratic "leadership," so we need senators to step up and lead a filibuster, which would require only 41 senators to sustain.
Many allegedly anti-war Democrats, including some who voted against the war (unlike Senator Clinton of course) in 2002, have voted to appropriate every penny for the war and occupation of Iraq, cowed by Bush , Cheney and the Republicans' smear that they would be "abandoning the troops" if they vote against war funding.
My advice on dealing with this despicable political blackmail is to get over it. Senators, you know how to do photo ops - stand on a flag-draped stage in front of the Iwo Jima statue with leaders from Iraq Veterans Against the War, Veterans for Peace, Military Families Speak Out, the Appeal for Redress (comprised of active duty military personnel who oppose the war) and retired generals and military officials to announce you are ending funding for the occupation, and dare Bush, Cheney and the chicken hawks to call you abandoners of the troops. C'mon, you can do it!
My main purpose is to end the occupation of Iraq, not to get Democrats elected to the White House or Congress, but it's no-brainingly obvious that in this case, with a historically unpopular president, a solid majority of the country against the war, and a presumptive Republican presidential nominee, John McCain, who thinks it would be fine if our troops remained in Iraq for 100 years (!), good policy is also good politics. Obama and Clinton should be tripping over each other running to the well of the Senate to announce they will filibuster to end funding for the war. The first to get there would doubtless become president in a landslide. It would be easy political ju jitsu --make Bush, McCain and others defend their indefensible desire to perpetuate an endless, bottomless (money-wise) occupation, instead of your having to defend doing the right thing, ending it.
Senators, get your act together. March 19 will mark the fifth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. The Iraqi people, our troops and their families can't wait another year, or longer, to end this calamitous occupation. And seriously, wouldn't you rather have this problem resolved before one of you becomes president?
