Several years ago in a live Q&A session, someone asked John MacArthur if taking the mark of the Beast during the Great Tribulation would be an unpardonable sin. His answer, in short, was no. Though there is a stern warning against taking the mark of the Beast in Revelation 14, the sin is not categorically said to be unpardonable. (That would contradict Matthew 12:31.) The point of the severe language in Revelation 14 is to make clear what an utterly reprehensible sin it will be to swear an oath of willful loyalty to Antichrist.
Someone posted John MacArthur's reply to that question on YouTube with a melodramatic one-word title in all caps: "OUTRAGE." Gossip-mongers on the Internet got hold of it, apparently, and within days someone wrote to our ministry saying, "I saw pastor John on a YouTube video saying the way to be saved in the Tribulation is to take the mark of the Beast."
If someone listens to Pastor MacArthur's reply and imagines he was saying it's no great sin to receive the mark of the Beast, listen again; that grossly twists what he actually said. The question is not (as one writer suggests) "How Far Can You Go and Still Be Able to Repent?" The point John MacArthur was making is about the extremes to which God's grace will reach in order to seek and save a sinner.
Yes, Revelation 14:9–11 says, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name." Clearly, receiving the mark is a sin that will send those who commit it to hell.
But the Bible also says, "Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9–10). In short, all sin carries the threat of eternal doom, and some particularly heinous sins have a built-in hardening effect that makes them particularly dangerous. Scripture occasionally singles out common sins that have this peculiarly soul-destroying effect.
On the other hand, only one very specific sin is ever said to be unforgivable. Any sin that is repented of is forgivable. Immediately after declaring all fornicators, drunkards, and swindlers unfit for heaven, the apostle writes, "Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God" (1 Corinthians 6:11). After saying, "Whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven," Jesus famously forgave Peter, who denied Him before men.
Jesus Himself said, "Any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven " (Matthew 12:31, emphasis added). The one unpardonable sin was the sin of those who had seen His miracles with their own eyes; they knew He was the true Messiah; they were part of the generation to whom He was personally sent. And yet they attributed His powers to Satan. That was unforgivable because it was such a hard-hearted, willful expression of utter rejection from fully enlightened hearts, who punctuated their rejection with an extreme blasphemy. Those Pharisees had stood in the presence of the living embodiment of all truth; they heard His words and saw His works. All the mysteries of Christ had been unveiled before their very eyes. And yet they spurned Him. There was nothing else that could be shown to them to enlighten them further. They were not deceived; they knew full well what they were doing. That's why their sin was unpardonable (cf. 1 Timothy 1:13).
Revelation 19:20 indicates that multitudes will take the mark of the Beast because they are deceived. Scripture does not say that they are thereby automatically hardened forever against repentance. That is not the point of the strong warnings.
This whole issue suddenly became a matter of intense controversy when it was mentioned on a provocative radio program. It's certainly not worth all the ink that has been wasted and all the bandwidth that has been consumed by angry people demanding explanations and retractions. This much should certainly be clear from the biblical text (and I think would be affirmed by all sides): Taking the mark of the Beast is high treason against Christ and will be judged by God accordingly. Meanwhile, the Lord is "good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon [Him]" (Psalm 86:5).

Thank you Mr. Johnson for this post. I never could understand the "Left Behind" mentality that the Mark of the Beast was the final straw for people to be saved during the GT. I have even had some spirited debates with family members about it but I could never fully formulate my objection to it until now. As always you, along with the rest of the teaching staff at Grace know how to bring clarity to the hardest passages.
Thank you for all you do.
God bless.

Our men's group were just pondering this subject tonight. I have also been looking at a commentary about taking the mark (refer to link).
I also use 2 Thessalonians 2:6-16 as a reference of being predestined and also the warning in verses 9-12 of this passage. In any case, I believe that it is not wise to ever take the mark.

Thank you for clarifying, and for the fast response to this online gossip it was getting out of hand.
Thanks again.
I read it.
My initial response:
Johnson's thesis paraphrased: If you are deceived into taking the mark of the beast, you can still come to the truth and be saved, because it doesn't compare exactly to the 'blaspheming the Holy Spirit' passage. Being deceived is not the same as knowingly going against God.
But doesn't God send deception as final judgement as well? 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12. Doesn't that chapter deal with the end times, where God clearly sends a strong delusion as punishment, resulting in eternal damnation. 9 'Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.11 And for this cause God shall SEND them strong delusion, that they SHOULD believe a lie:12 That they all might be DAMNED who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. ' Here God sends deception as judgement, where damnation followes punishment.
And what about Revelation 19:20 where It says:
20 'And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.' It doesn't say: with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast AND HAD NOT repented.
Or Revelation 20:4
4 'And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.'
If Phil Johnson thinks the best way to start out a defense of this particular teaching, by labelling those who called GTY out, gossip mongerers on the internet, than he did not do his research very well.
The controversy is not people on youtube calling out GTY on this very important matter. The controversy is that these 'gossipmongers' were critical and for that they get the previous mentioned label. The controversy is the insufficient defense in this blogpost of the 1980 q&a and teaching. The controversy is a later John Macarthur teaching (1993), where John teaches the opposite and that both teachings are downloadable.
Being deceived is sometimes ones own fault, for instance by not obeying Matthew 24:4. But it can also be an eternal punishment from God (Thessalonians 2:9-12).
But what do I know, I'm just another layman with a bible and an internet connection.
I wonder if the people who believe that taking the mark is a deal-breaker also see baptism as a requirement for salvation (Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38)...
Thanks for the helpful contribution.
Hi Phil; I'd never heard the claim that John had said the way to be saved was to take the mark of the beast! However, I am doubtful about this particular interpretation of scripture. Scripture says that those who worship the beast THEN take the mark. The mark is the result of the choice of who to worship. Since the object of that worship is the beast and not God, it would seem to pretty much amount to rejection of God and saying in effect something akin to No, we would rather have Barabbas! And scripture says that by their own choice, they go to hell forever. It seems that God is speaking in the knowledge of hearts in this case and how it is that they got to the point where they took the mark. What taking the mark actually is indicative of. Especially when these things come after decades of the gospel being preached and people being warned of things to come. It would seem to be a determination to continue in one's own wisdom and ways despite all warnings and evidence to the contrary that eventually leads to being so deceived. Rarely are we ever not involved in our own deception.

I include this for interest's sake as its one that is out there in response to this issue and includes the links to John's Q and A session. I chanced upon it while looking something else up and so include it without either endorsing or rejecting it as it discusses some things that at this point are over my head.
Those who repent even with that mark will be tracked down easily, hunted, and slaughtered. But yes, only full out rejection of the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin.
Thank you for that clear and concise explanation. It has come up in conversation this past week and I didn't know really how to answer that question. In my mind, it didn't make sense because the only unpardonable sin as you pointed out is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:31).
The truth is just so amazing.
Happy Reformation Day to you brother and thank you for your faithfulness to the truth of the Gospel!
Imagine, we have the truth in our hands because by God's grace, giants like Luther, Calvin, Huss, Tindale, Spurgeon and other faithful men carried the Gospel on their shoulders and the sea of blood that came with it, to defend that truth.
Faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, Scripture alone and may all the glory be to God alone!
your servant and brother in Christ,
Agree with a previous commenter about the issue of deception, and I also thought of 2 Thess. 2 after I read Phil's post here. There is a difference between being "innocently deceived," and the deception that is part of God's judgment on unbelievers in reference to the reign of antichrist during the Great Tribulation. Revelation 14 makes it quite clear that ALL of those who take the Mark of the Beast are the same ones who later experience God's wrath forever and ever.
Some on the internet are starting to teach that the mark of the beast may be the rearranging of a persons DNA by taking the mark itself, possibly in the form of a "bio-chip" that promises eternal life, and that once a person accepts this mark, and their DNA is spliced into something part human which has immortality with some serious flaws in the form of "grievous sores" etc., then thats it, the person is, from that point on, irredeemable.
Among other verses, the people teaching this refer to Revelation 9:6 which says " In those days people will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them." This verse supposedly speaks of the flawed immortality given by the mark which also allegedly makes a person irredeemable. I don't believe this interpretation, but I thought I would throw it out there and hopefully get some input.
In reference to post #4 by Laurenz Thenu, would you please give me the reference for the 1993 teaching by Pastor John that you referenced in your post, thank you in advance.
Any good pastor will agree that checking any teaching against the bible is good and biblical (Acts 17:11). So don't just take anyone at their word.
Let me paraphrase Johnson's thesis: You can still be saved after you take the mark of the beast, because it is a result of being deceived and therefore not the same as the one unforgivable sin: Blaspheming the Holy Spirit.
This is not true. Teaching otherwise is dangerous and wrong.
These people who take the MOB are in deception, because even though they have heard the truth, they rejected it. Their deception is a judgement of God 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12.
There is another important reason proving this thesis false and that is again found in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12, but this time in combination with Matthew 24:14. Both passages are teachings about the end times. A time that we are living in right now.
Thessalonians 2:9-12 'Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.'
You can't receive or not receive a love of the truth before actually being told the truth. Before actually knowing the truth. This is exactly in line with Matthew 24:14 'And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in ALL the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.'
So we know that before the Antichrist enters the world stage and before the MOB is implemented, the gospel will be preached into all the world. No one will have an excuse. No one will be able to say, standing before the judgement seat:"How could I have known!"
The ones who take the mark of the beast at one point in their live, will have also had the chance to receive a love for the truth. But they will not.
Read the scriptures for yourself. Put aside your own preconceived notions. Put aside your admiration for a person or ministry. Because anybody can get it wrong. And in this case GTY is wrong.
That is not to say I don't appreciate other teachings offered through GTY.
In reply to Rick Garner
The 1993 sermon is entitled Angelic Messengers and can be found here:
A couple of observations about your posts (#4,#12):
1) I don't think John changed his position between 1980 and 1993.
Check what he said in his 1993 sermon: "And the people of the world will take some mark on their hand or their forehead which indicates their loyalty to the beast, as we saw back in chapter 13. And what this angel is doing is saying...Look, here we are at the very end, you have heard the hundred and forty-four thousand, you've heard the two witnesses, you've heard all of the people who have proclaimed their faith in Christ, Jew and Gentile, and some of them were martyred. And certainly in the very martyrdom itself they gave testimony of the grace of God in Christ. You have heard an angel flying in mid-heaven. You've been warned by another angel who has pronounced doom. And here is one last note for you, if you still will worship the beast, if you still will worship his image, if you are still going to maintain your identification clear on out through all of this, verse 10, "You also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God.""
At the end of that same message he says: "...end of verse 11, for those who worship the beast and his image and whoever receives the mark of his name. Simply, those who will not turn their allegiance from Antichrist to Christ. What a warning. "
So, as far as I can tell, John saying in his 1993 message that if people who receive the mark repent in response to the message of the 3rd angel, they will be saved.
2) You are very confident that all the world will hear the gospel before the beast requires the world to take his mark (Revelation 13:16-17). It is interesting to note that Matthew 24:14 will be fulfilled by the first angel in Revelation 14:6-7. On what basis do you assert that the events of Revelation 14:6-7 will occur before the events of Revelation 13:16-17?

A lawyer advising National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden says his asylum status has not been resolved and that he is going to stay at the Moscow airport for now.Anatoly Kucherena, who was visiting the American at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport on Wednesday, said that migration officials are still looking at this asylum request and that this process had been drawn out.Kucherena said that Snowden is staying in the transit zone "for now" and "intends to stay in Russia, study Russian culture."The lawyer did not immediately comment on a Russian news report that said Snowden had received a document earlier Wednesday allowing him to enter Russia from the airport.THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden was given a document on Wednesday that allows him to leave the transit zone of a Moscow airport and enter Russia, a state news agency said.The American applied for temporary asylum in Russia last week after his attempts to leave the airport and fly out of Russia were thwarted. The United States wants him sent home to face prosecution for espionage.Snowden, who revealed details of the NSA's wide-ranging spying activities targeting data and phone communication, is believed to have been staying at the transit zone of Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport since June 23, when he arrived on a flight from Hong Kong.Russia's RIA Novosti news agency quoted an unidentified security official as saying that Snowden was given the document Wednesday, allowing him to formally enter Russia.Anatoly Kucherena, a Russian lawyer advising Snowden, arrived at the airport Wednesday to meet the NSA leaker, but refused to comment before the meeting.However, he told Russia's Rossiya-24 television that he has brought several books for Snowden to read, including one by Anton Chekhov and Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novel "Crime and Punishment."The novel is about the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of a poor ex-student who kills a pawnbroker for her cash, and Kucherena said Snowden might find it interesting. But the lawyer added: "I'm not implying he's going through a similar mental anguish."President Vladimir Putin has said that Snowden can be granted asylum in Russia only if he stops leaking NSA secrets.A spokeswoman for Russia's Federal Migration Service told The Associated Press on Wednesday that it had no information about the status of Snowden's application for asylum.Granting Snowden asylum would add new tensions to U.S.-Russian relations already strained by Washington's criticism of Russia's pressure on opposition groups, Moscow's suspicion of U.S. missile-defense plans in Europe, and Russia's resistance to proposed sanctions against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

On April 10-11, 2013, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry traveled to London for the G-8 Foreign Ministers Meeting. The group addressed a number of international issues and made a number of commitments, including endorsing the Declaration on the Prevention of Sexual Violence in Conflict. The group called for urgent action to address the culture of impunity and to hold perpetrators to account for acts of sexual violence committed in armed conflict.
Impunity for sexual violence undermines the resolution of conflict and the building of peaceful societies. To address this issue, the United States is committing $10 million to support new and ongoing efforts that align with the United Kingdom's Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative. Today's pledge is just one portion of the United States' overall commitment to addressing and preventing gender-based violence around the world, which in 2012 totaled more than $100 million. Such commitments are further complemented by the United States' substantial support for women's participation in peace negotiations, conflict prevention, and peace-building processes, and the U.S. National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security and the U.S. Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Gender-based Violence Globally.
While in London, Secretary Kerry also held meetings with UK Foreign Secretary William Hague, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida, and Syrian opposition leaders to discuss matters of mutual interest.
With respect to the conflict in Syria, the G-8 Foreign Ministers called for greater humanitarian assistance and reaffirmed their commitment to supporting a Syrian-led political transition. The group also addressed Iran and North Korea's continuing nuclear and ballistic missile activities, and discussed the need to create lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East through direct negotiation. You can read more about their discussions in the G-8 Foreign Ministers Meeting Statement.
During a break in the G-8 meetings, Secretary Kerry observed the changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, where an Argentinian tourist recognized the Secretary and stopped for a photo. Secretary Kerry also posed for a photograph with Tony Smith, an employee of the U.S. Embassy in London for 47 years, and commended Smith for his service.
Secretary Kerry also signed the condolence book for former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. In a statement, Secretary Kerry said, "The United States has lost a dear friend, and the world has lost a transformative leader who broke the glass ceiling in global politics. ...We celebrate especially the way, with a hand outstretched across the Atlantic, Lady Thatcher strengthened the Special Relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom -- a relationship that remains a driving force for freedom, justice, and democracy."
Secretary Kerry departed London for the Republic of Korea, China, and Japan, where he will meet with his counterparts April 12-15. Follow @StateDept on Twitter and go to www.state.gov for the latest on his trip.

Multi dimensional UN operation in Mali can be a model for Afghanistan too.

For a change the leadership of the UN multi dimensiinal operation should be given to China with or without other regional stakeholder like India, with both reporting jointly to UNSC and GA. Time has come to test China's strengths in conflict resolution in harmony with interest of all stakeholders and that should be projected to people of China and rest of the world. China, particularly, has a willing human resource, financial strength & strategic strength for the task in which China has strength. Let China prove it can accomplish what both US & Russia failed to.

I wonder whether Darwin ever noticed a natural fact that didn't raise a question in his mind.support it, and wonders whether keepers of tufted fowl "have observed any clear signs of deficiency in the mental powers of any of their birds?" Even when he is not asking questions, you can hear the question implicit in the title of Darwin's articles. "Cause of the variation of flowers" — in the Journal of Horticulture — is itself a variation of "Why do flowers vary?"
It's striking how much of the evidence he gathered was really about the effects humans have on nature.Domestication. "Man," Darwin writes, "has no power of altering the absolute conditions of life." Plant and animal breeding is essentially a kind of jujitsu, using the force of nature's inherent tendency against it, so to speak. But Darwin's sentence goes on, and suddenly we are the ones who find ourselves looking through time, because he says, man "cannot change the climate of any country."

In short: Simply the best!In full: Once again the Sodbury Slog shows everyone exactly how a race should be organised, and it's easy to run out of superlatives when rating it.Everything was spot-on, right from the moment you enter the town of Chipping Sodbury with signs to the race HQ and parking.Pre-race went like clockwork, no delays collecting race number and chip, well-manned baggage area and plentiful loos. Warm-up dancing 'Gangnum style' and of course the reading of the last post before the run is a highlight of the year.I thought it was just my appalling lack of fitness catching up with me but I have been informed that yes, it was in fact muddier than usual this year. A lot of fun though and a great training exercise.We were blessed with glorious weather this year which meant I could take in the gorgeous views of the countryside, not something I always manage to do.Very friendly runners and some friendly and encouraging spectators, unusual for an off-road event. Marshals ezxcellent as always, handing out drinks and jelly beans en route. And Hi to the nice young lady from Cardiff I was chatting to on the way back to the car!Fantastic value for money meant an excellent goodie bag at the end including a lovely long-sleeved t-shirt, plus I bought a technical one for training!It really doesn't get better than this and as long as nothing changes will be a constant on my race calendar.

Honeywell Touchscreen Research Guides FAA Regulation
Phoenix-based aerospace manufacturer Honeywell is under an ongoing contract with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to study the usability of various forms of touch technology, such as cockpit displays, that will help to determine what factors would cause pilots to make more input errors or take longer to perform tasks as compared to traditional manually controlled cockpit interfaces.

Honeywell is targeting business aviation and regional air transport aircraft for a new line of touchscreen avionics that it is currently developing, with the FAA-contracted research.
The company has not announced any specific aircraft that will receive touchscreen-enabled flight displays, but according to Jeff Merdich, director of product marketing for Honeywell's commercial avionics division, business jets and regional aircraft are the target market.
As part of its research, Honeywell recreates the turbulent flight deck environment where touchscreen avionics will be deployed with a "six degrees of freedom flight deck simulation platform," according to Merdich. This allows test pilots to interact with touchscreen-enabled avionics displays mounted at forward, outboard and overhead cockpit positions.
"This allows the collection of accurate, repeatable data relating to pilot workload, accuracy and fatigue to ensure that we understand the efficiency of these devices in a flight deck environment," said Merdich. "We also utilize Honeywell's fleet of flight test aircraft to extend this research to the actual flight environment."
Central to Honeywell's research are human factors engineering principles, which involve studying the interaction of the pilot's mind with proposed avionics systems, rather than focusing on the avionics alone.
"We have a heavy focus on human factors, including the appropriate intended function and functional allocation for touch technology on the flight deck," said Merdich. "Our research, has shown that there are key attributes — technology, location, button size, spacing, menu navigation, etc. — to the implementation of touch that are instrumental toward insuring a satisfying user experience with touch in this unique environment."
Focusing on human factors should help to relieve fears expressed by operators and pilots in reaction to previous reports on touchscreen technology regarding inadvertent touchscreen swipes. To address inadvertent touchscreen interactions, Honeywell's researchers and engineers are evaluating the usability of differing touch technologies, such as digital resistive technology, which requires more pressure to change the function of the interface than would a typical swipe on a touchscreen smartphone or tablet.
So how long until the industry sees the widespread deployment of cockpit touchscreen technology? That depends on the intended function and usability for intended function, according to Merdich.
"With the continued growth of touch in the commercial technology space, we do see a transition to this technology over time," said Merdich. "Intended function and usability for intended function will be a key driver behind adoption of this or other interface modalities."
In July 2014 Honeywell will present the results of its touchscreen research to the FAA for the agency to take into consideration for regulatory guidelines, and the conclusions will also help to guide their future product designs.

Hamas Killed the Baby, Egyptian FM Kissed the Dead Baby, CNN Blamed Israel
Latest update: December 30th, 2013
The death of a baby is tragic, always. But for the terrorists in Gaza and their supporters, the death of a child provides an irresistible public relations bonanza. Even when the killer of the baby isn't their enemy, but their own weapons.
So when the Egyptian Prime Minister, Hesham Kandil, paid a visit to Gaza as a show of support for his fellow Islamists, a dead four-year-old child, Mahmoud Sadallah, was furnished for the photo opportunity. The staging was perfect: Kandil, gently laying a kiss on the dead child's forehead, while Ismael Haniya, a Prime Minister of Hamas, holds the child aloft, as dozens of concerned men look on in the background.
Kandil fought back tears as he said to reporters gathered to record the moment, "What I saw today in the hospital, the wounded and the martyrs, the boy … whose blood is still on my hands and clothes, is something that we cannot keep silent about."
CNN referred to Mahmoud as the "symbol of the war in Gaza." Kandil told the cameras,"I saw the child who was martyred," and called on Israel to halt "the offensive."
CNN, The Mirror (UK) and other media, including Norway's Dagbladet showed the touching scene.
But there is one problem: Israel isn't responsible for Mahmoud Sadallah's death. Hamas is.
Sadallah was brought to Shifra Hospital in Gaza City after having been struck while playing outside of his home. Although his family members told reporters that Mahmoud was killed in an airstrike from Israel, the facts don't add up.
Israel agreed to a ceasefire during the time the Egyptian Prime Minister was in Gaza. Terrorists from Gaza continued firing during Kandil's visit, but Israel held back, and certainly did not fire anywhere near where Kandil was visiting.
In addition, no one saw the strike, although there were reports that an explosion was heard. The damage was consistent with that of a much smaller weapon, such as a qassam or morter shell.
But what really seems to point away from Israel having been responsible is that although there was evidence of what caused the explosion, that evidence was immediately removed from the area and has not been seen since.
Lebanon's Daily Star had this to say:
Mahmoud's family said the boy was in an alley close to his home when he was killed, along with a man of about 20, but no one appeared to have witnessed the strike. The area showed signs that a projectile might have exploded there, with shrapnel marks in the walls of surrounding homes and a shattered kitchen window. But neighbors said local security officials quickly took what remained of the projectile, making it impossible to verify who fired it.
But the pictures have been taken and the CNN video has aired. Hamas now has its own Mohammed Al-Durah-style fake martyr with which to demonize Israel.

I gues when yo are the lowest form of life (Terrorists) you will have no problem lying through your teeth about this even whenyouknow you are responsible for his death. These people make me sick and so does the western media that publish this rubbish a if it is factual.
Let CNN also publish the picture of the 10-month-old Israeli baby girl, Shalhevet Pass, as her head was placed in the Arab's sniper's scope and was shot dead in her mother's arms.
Pedophilia is permitted in the Qur'an and Muhammad, Allah's pedophile prophet, was also bi-sexual as was Arafat; so, this 4 year old boy could be martyred by one of their many followers.
More than likely, stock piles of rockets were stored next to his play ground, school or home. Also, more than likely, they were told not to follow the instructions on the thousands of notes of warning the IDF sent to all the people in Gaza to stay away from the terrorists; so, he got killed. CNN is now an accomplice to this crime.
"But neighbors said Local Security Officials quickly took what remained of the projectile, making it impossible to verify who fired it." So the innocent child was slaughtered for the visiting Egyptian FM, who preferred kissing the child dead than alive.
It should be noted that scenes like these have happened in almost every war Israel has had with the PA/PLO, and with all the surrounding Arabs. During such wars, the dead were brought out from the hospitals in front of the cameras as victims of "Israel's aggression". Anybody who had died or who had been murdered for reasons of crime during these wars were brought to the CNN cameras as victims of "Israel's aggression". The murderers in crime go free and Israel gets blamed. Even the deathly sick that can still walk are sent to Israel's check points wearing a suicide belt.
Nobody really knows the cause of death of any of their dead because they will not allow an autopsy.
It makes me sick to see a cynical use of a tragedy.
And another note: CNN is so anti Israel – Isn't it anti-semitism? shuddering
Make sure that this gets Twittered and emailed and posted everywhere!
Who in their RIGHT mind takes CNN seriously anyway? They always fabricate complete BULL.
As Archie Bunker learned
In All In The Family, it's didfi
As Archie Bunker learned in All In The Family, it's difficult to argue who caused a traffic accident with a carful of nuns. However, Israel media need press the issue articulated concisely by Netanyahu. The Palestinians are committing war crimes with a double edge sword: attacking Israeli civilians, and hiding behind their own.
so pathetic to use children as a means of getting attention.That there is no value or sactity of life.Israel has waited long enough while teaching values of kindness..may Isrtael move from strength to strength.
these terrorists deserve to die.
Mein Kampf; BBC; Guardian; Haaretz; CNN. One day, someone will be able to explain the difference to me.
And the deceit is promoted by CNN's resident kapo in chief wolfe blitzer.
Necrophilia and pedophilia – two strong islamist traditions
Pallywood at its best and CNN puts the Berkah on and joins in the lies!
I Want to say this with all fear and repect to all life , but it is not easy to say this , but I feel I have to ays this , Israel can not wait on the Usa or the UN no more , it is time to declear full war against the terrorist ; Hamas , Hazbola , Iran and who ever need to atack because the Israel will only have peace until all the terrorist are finhed once and for ALL! The more Isreal waits the worst it is! ISRAEL GOT GO FULL FORCE TO TAKE HANDS IN THE MATTER OF FINSHING THE ENMY ONCE AND FOR ALL SAKES!
i can not understand why all tv news shows keep talking about israel like that. Its impressive how all of them keep saying the same things about what happened in israel. Why are they so blind? its easier to blame israel? we are always guilty and murders and things like that! I can't stand listenging anti israel comments or that we are always complaining about different things or for example that we made up the whole holocaust history. It's just sad how people dont know the truth or dont want to know it. Please take care.
I wonder how long it will be before the Western liberal media realizes how the Hamas propaganda machine has been playing them all these years.
are you going to show dead israeli children. its bad because Israel defends its self. Hippocrates..CNN.
The Hamas are now sacrificing there own children. They new that Israel was not firing due to respect to the Egyptian Prime minister visit to Gaza.
The HAMAS will do anything for their propaganda. even kill their own people and kids.
CNN stop telling lies but once the people find out the. Truth. You look bad cnn. There is 500 rock is showing to Israel and there's no there is no death
you can kiss yes bye. bye
I use to love CNN but not no more have to change channel
I am glad you did. Try FOX News.
I remember them even digging up dead bodies to blame on us
They live longer in Arab countries – they said that they routinely lied in Saddam's Iraq, otherwise their reporters would have 'accidents'
Different languages.
The hate-filled article DOES NOT prove what it claims! Show us evidence that the baby was killed by his own people to fool the public opinion. Without evidence, Lori is just another lying Jewess.
they already know, just cant say any thing you should know you can not say any thing about Muslims or Islam in Europe or they go on mass riots, claming to be insulted
As always, everyone has to blame Israel for a situation that the Palestinians themselves are responsible: how many civilians die every time a bastard immolates himself in Israel? simply because their leaders deceive them with false promises and illusions, how many children have died because of the missiles that they throw and then crawl as they do rats in the sewers? Terrorists will always be terrorists and Israel is a nation that tiend every right to defend especially those, cowardly, used children as human shields, and then display them before the television cameras to stimulate the feeling of sorrow and pity towards them. Israel is Real, israel live forever and ever…
Amazing how CNN is so anti Israeli. The media clearly wants to show Hammas as victims of unmeasures attacks, while the true is that those terrorist initiated the crisis and awns more than a 1000 rockets to target civilians in Israel. CNN can not fool us permanently.
A four year old–is not a baby–this child is dead because of Godless Islamic anti-Semitic terror!
Miss Ambach, They lie because they are full of anti-Semitic hatred!
CNN makes me sick, publishing a story that has not been verified!
if it had been Israeli fire, they would have showed their evidence to the world.
its time for UN and Nato to step in and to end this war Israel started against everybody. Its time Israel terrorists are put into prison and that the country gets back to its owners. Israel now kills babys. How brave of those idiots.
Unfortunately that is not all they Use children for . . .
Pallywood is re-directing our attention away from the double war crime by Hamas: Hamas starts wars against its neighbors because they want to wipe out non-Muslims according to their holy books and then they hide behind, sacrifice and abuse their own people by hiding rocket launchers in/near homes and apartment buildings.
Elder of ziyon published this as a scoop one day earlier… http://www.elderofziyon.blogspot.co.il/2012/11/dead-child-held-by-egypts-pm-was-killed.html
For God's sake, does it matter? Another child is dead…what is the point? And this was caused by arrogant adults just like the ones posting here! I wish that child could speak…maybe some of you would grow up!
waarom ???
The way I see it, if the Hamas terrorists INSIST on acting like animals, then, by God, LET THEM BE TREATED LIKE ANIMALS!

tomato + avocado + corn + basil + quinoa salad
Dont' worry .... I do not not need a tomato and corn intervention ..... yet.
I do realize that this is about my fourth recipe this summer that involves tomatoes and/or corn. I don't plan on changing the name of this blog to tomato lovers anonymous, and I promise I have noticed that there are plenty of other wonderful summer fruits and vegetables that are begging for my attention too.
As you can tell, I have been completely smitten with tomatoes and corn and a bit obsessed with getting in as many of their indulgences that I can. I promise (with fingers crossed behind my back) that this is the last post involving corn and tomatoes (together). Everywhere I go, including my backyard, all I see are these gorgeous tomatoes and bushels of corn begging to be enjoyed. I just can't help myself.
I posted a picture of this salad on facebook and instagram a few days ago when I was working on the recipe, and never before did I have so many demands for the recipes. Demands! I had planed on posting this recipe sometime next week, but with so many requests I knew it could not wait.
I had thought you were over my tomato and corn pictures and posts, but I was mistaken. Apparently you and I are the same, and you want to savor every second of these tomato and corn filled months as much as I do. Apparently you and I are heirloom tomato and sweet summer corn soulmates.
Last week one of my oldest and closest friends came to visit from Denver with her boyfriend. As with any long weekend with good friends, it was filled with lots and lots of laughs, plenty of great meals, some seriously delicious key lime pie, fancy homemade lattes, and big bottles of rosé. The first night they arrived, we swung by our friend's parent's house to say hello, and while we were there one of her friends was preparing this awesome looking summer salad with corn, tomatoes, basil and avocado. YUM. It took everything in my power not to jump right in and devour their salad.
The next night I insisted that we make that same salad, and we did. It was then that I decided that this was THE perfect summer salad. Since then I have made this salad another three times. It has only been a week. And you know what? I can (and probably will) eat this every other day until summer vegetables start to dwindle.
Don't you worry, I have plenty of fun, creative recipes involving some of the other wonderful summer veggies coming your way ... but for now, let's enjoy these gorgeous plum, ripe tomatoes, and super sweet corn while we can. The way they were meant to be. With just a touch of really god olive oil, salt + pepper, and a few other goodies.

County board on track in tackling airport's problems
With several recent developments, the operation of the Upper Peninsula's largest airport at K.I. Sawyer will likely become an increasingly highly-prominent issue throughout the area in the coming months.
In 2012, ridership at Sawyer International Airport dropped to its lowest level in more than a decade at just over 76,000. And while American and Delta airlines have both added flights to Sawyer's schedule -which is expected to boost passenger numbers this year- the Federal Aviation Administration announced recently it would close 149 airport air traffic control towers across the country, including Sawyer's. And while flights will continue at the airport, Sawyer airport manager Duane DuRay said that move will likey produce a negative effect on the future marketability of the airport.
Meanwhile, a 2012 law aimed at limiting the number of airports receiving federal subsidies blocks Sawyer out of future consideration for help, should one or both of the air carriers servicing the airport discontinue flights.
The other five U.P. airports receive an essential air service subsidy from the federal government, which is provided to air carriers in hopes of providing and retaining air service at smaller airports. Sawyer was not eligible for a subsidy prior to 2012 because it had two airlines, while the other U.P. airports each have one air carrier.
Those airports not with a subsidy when the 2012 law was passed were blocked from applying for financial subsidy assistance in the future.
Meanwhile, with fewer people flying, increased operational costs and a declining revenue stream, county officials see challenges in funding the airport.
"We need to make sure we're not drawing our general funds any more than necessary to make that a viable operation," Commissioner Greg Seppanen said. "It's going to be our test to see if we can make that viable."
Commissioner Steven Pence said K.I. Sawyer will continue to be important among the county's priority issues.
"I think K.I. Sawyer has to be a huge priority, both the people living there and also the new problems that have emerged with our airport with losing our tower and I think we've done a good job lately in increasing some flights, which I think is helpful," Pence said.
We're glad the board has been looking toward the challenges presented by Sawyer for some time now. We hope thoughtful plans will emerge -with input from the public and a focus on keeping fees and ticket prices low- and that the news on the future of this vitally important county asset will improve in the days and weeks ahead.

Nice work Jeff I would say you will have this oven mastered in about 2 more hours !! any gig booked yet ?John
Nice first post! Would love to see the trailer with the oven and flame next time. Can't wait to follow along with your journey!
Beautiful pies Jeff! I'm envious! Think I can come over and play with your oven some time?
Very tasty looking pie's Jeff...I think you're right, maybe just another hour or 2. Do you have one of those fancy perforated metal peels....those babies don't seem to look like they need much flour to get a nice quick release.
Pic of oven and trailer or csafranek.
No, I wanted to build and launch on wooden peels.
Jeff,Beautiful undercrust and crumb shot. You are "close" to being dialed in, I'd say! That strombolizone might argue against that point, however! Tryin' to be a purist with the wooden peel idea?No arguments there --- go get 'em! --- but I will tell you the FG peels really make your life easy......John K

Opera House in Blairsburg hosts auction
The Blairsburg Opera House Preservation Committee will host its annual auction fundraiser on Sat., March 23 beginning with a dinner at 5 p.m. and the auction to follow at 6 p.m.
The Blairsburg Opera House will again be the setting for annual event which helps raise funds to preserve, furnish and restore the 118 year old building.
The free-will pork loin sandwich dinner with beans, dessert and drink will precede the auction.
Joey Koop returns as the event auctioneer which begins at 6 p.m., said Bob Sinclair of the Blairsburg Opera House Preservation Committee.
Auction items were donated by merchants and opera house supporters in Blairsburg, Webster City, Williams and Iowa Falls.
Some of this year's auction items include meat bundles from Custom Meats in Webster City and from Phil and Alberta Voge, a night's cabin stay at Briggs Woods, a large quilt from Laura Weisberg and a small quilt from Iowa Falls Sewing Machine Company. Additional items include a car battery, a round a golf at Briggs Woods, a folding camp rocking chair and gift certificates from Tony's Tire.
Also at auction will be gift certificates from Porter's on Main in Iowa Falls for two rib- eye dinners and two gift certificates for the pasta buffet. On the auction block will also be two bags of seed corn, assorted sewing and knitted craft items, golf items and an umbrella from Edward Jones and a folding chair from Green Belt Bank in Iowa Falls.
Last year's auction fundraiser helped to purchase carpet for the hall. The preservation committee will use proceeds from this year's event to purchase chair storage units.

Tilt is getting closer and closer to a beta development stage, let's see what's been going on.
The most important added feature is the html preview window, currently using the Cloud9 source code editor Ace. Each time a node is double clicked, a popup panel shows up, displaying the formatted, syntax colored inner html for that particular node, along with the class and id if available. Since it would have been a tremendous work to implement a rich text edit box in WebGL, the easiest hack was to use an iframe containing a simple html document embedding the Ace editor.
This simple page is contained in an iframe defined in xul, inside a panel. On a double click event, all we needed to do was to get the iframe content document, access the <pre> editor element by id, set its inner html to the corresponding inner html of the selected node, then call a function to format and highlight the text. It's really easy to implement such panels in Firefox, as 'openPopup()' and 'closePopup()' functions do all the heavy lifting.
The xul responsible with the iframe:
This isn't, however, all the planned functionality for the html panel. A great and useful feature would be to actually edit and update the webpage rendering in real time as the code changes, and this is planned to be implemented in the following months. This behavior can lead to interesting functionality, and combining it with the Style Editor and Style Inspector would make a nice development/debugging environment. Thus, the next best move is to replace the Ace editor with the Orion Code Editor, actively developed in the devtools area.
To achieve this functionality, an optimized equivalent of canvas.drawWindow is needed, to minimize memory usage and seamlessly update the visualization as the DOM and style changes. A lot of progress has been done with #653656, and the first Javascript shim implementation is available. Once the specifications are consolidated and agreed upon, the MOZ_window_region_texture WebGL extension will be implemented in Tilt.
The way rendering webpages is done has changed quite a bit in the past months. The first experiments were focused on a more translucent visualization and now, all the nodes are rendered opaque. The community feedback has been great in both cases, so the best idea is to keep both rendering methods, and also adding customization functionality. The best way to achieve this is to implement a simple UI with sliders and other elements controlling hue, saturation, brightness, contrast and render mode (wireframe or opaque) for the visualization. Thus, transitioning between multiple ways of visualizing the webpage can be done seamlessly, and fine tuned values can be perfect for different goals.
The current GUI is a work in progress implementation in WebGL, as it would have been too much of a performance hit to implement simple sliders and buttons in XUL. The first mockups for the user interface have been finished:
A couple of other things are planned for the user interface, the most important ones being:
- zoom and rotation sliders (+ auto rotation)
- customizable thickness and spacing between nodes
- preview pane in the lower right (showing the visible area of the webpage, like a map)
- DOM tree structure in the lower left (along with a search field, go-to-node functionality)
- reset, zoom in, zoom out buttons
- menu in the upper right (including the export button)
For now, the major focus is implementing all of the UI functionality, to make Tilt more useful and friendly for debuggers both from the HTML and CSS world. It's been quite a tremendous effort to create a special UI library and event modules in WebGL, but now that most of the elements have been finished, implementing the actual UI should be the next step.
As a final note, Tilt has been released as an alpha preview last week on hacks.mozilla.org, receiving a lot of feedback from the community. Most of the suggestions will make it into Tilt in the near future, the most interesting ones being:
- exporting the visualization to different formats (especially 3D models – COLLADA, .OBJ), feature which would add a lot of possibilities like importing into games; the visualization will also be exported to other WebGL supporting browsers
- modifying and updating the 3D webpage mesh on the fly (as the webpage changes, exposing CSS transforms for each node), meaning that interactive movies, animations and even "DOM art" can be done using Tilt (see this video, creating a 3D Reddit logo).
- adding a zoom control which isolates a DOM node and it's children only
- display useful information on the sides of the nodes too (also a color code to make the most common html elements appear clearly)
- implement CSS editing functionality, along with the HTML editor panel
- using head tracking from a webcam to modify the perspective of a webpage

Patterned skirt = a new challenge for dressing myself.
I will forever treasure these super sturdy Cole Haan all-leather boots (the laces and even the entire lining is the smoothest leather) and the fact that I got them for like 30ish dollars on Etsy.
All things secondhand except the sweater tights (J. Crew)
This post is the closet I've come to even acknowledging this "holiday." Work is ruining my life. Then again, I've never really done the whole adult Halloween scenario. I guess that means I suck at life. That's what I've been told. Whatever, I am much more looking forward to Thanksgiving. Not that I care for its history, just the food.

The Humble Bundle V continues the trend of outdoing its predecessor, and its new lineup is ridiculously impressive. The new package includes modern indie hits Bastion, Amnesia, Limbo, and Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery -- but has also added the hugely popular classic Psychonauts. On top of that, the bundle includes each game's soundtrack, each of which I'd personally recomment. Altogether, this is the best Humble Bundle yet, and you'd be silly to pass up on it.
For practically nothing you can get Psychonauts, Superbrothers, Limbo and Amnesia along with their soundtracks, for $1 you'll get steam keys for each of those games, but if .you want Bastion and its soundtrack you'll have to beat the cost average (currently at $6.90). Considering how past indie bundles have worked, there might even be a surprise addition later this week.
What's this, there's a trailer narrated by Rucks from Bastion with a surprise guest appearance by Tim Schafer himself? This is all too good to be true. I think I'm going to to faint. I already own most of these games, and here I am buying the Humble Indie Bundle V and picking them each up all over again. At least it's for charity, right?
Each of the Humble Indie Bundle titles are available for PC, Mac or Linux completely DRM-free. Check 'em out today.

Working well for deficiency
Posted by Reviewer2564249 on May 21, 2012
I had trouble tolerating both methyl and adb12 and am able to tolerate high amounts of this supplement much better! I have a diagnosed B12 deficiency, and my serum levels have gone up slowly but surely so that I am now in normal range. My energy levels and muscles/nerves seem to be slowly healing, and my brain fog decreased noticeably after starting hydroxy b12. Dissolves well (I find it easier to stick along my lower gumline than under the tongue), and is fairly easy to cut if needed.
Advanced Orthomolecular Research AOR, Hydroxy B12
Posted by Reviewer2167095 on Mar 07, 2013
Great to have this available as hyroxy B12 has a unique ability to potently scavenge reactive nitrogen species. No other form of B12 can do this.
Excellent Product
Posted by Reviewer2722252 on Mar 30, 2013
This form of B12 is effective. Within 3 weeks after taking it my levels went from low normal to high normal. Methylcobalamin makes me nervous. This form doesn't.
Great Hydroxy

I switched to Perque due to the dose and price. but this is a great hydroxy available on iherb.
Seems like it is working for CFS symptoms like fatigue

CHICAGO – Every 13 minutes, an emergency room in the United States treats someone for a sports-related eye injury.
According to the National Eye Institute, eye injuries are the leading cause of blindness in children in America, and most injuries occurring in school-aged children are sports-related.
The results of an eye injury can range from temporary to permanent vision loss.
Summer can be hard on our lawns. With much of the country suffering from extreme heat and drought conditions this past summer, many lawns took a beating.
Fall is the perfect time to help your lawn recover from the stressors of summer and prepare for winter. The warm soil and cooler temperatures promote root growth and thickening of the lawn.

"Being tough" is a typical figure of speech, but what does it really mean? 10 members of the Lancaster County EMS have formed their own team, the Lancaster County Tough Mudder Medics, and are teaching Lancaster what it really means to be tough.
The team started about six months ago when Lancaster County EMS members Greg Brasington and David Demby looked into participating in the Tough Mudder challenge and ran the idea by Clay Catoe, EMS director for Lancaster County.

Well, what would you do?
Now, I've done a few races in my time and met most of the usual 'obstacles' - traffic, congestion caused by too many runners on narrow roads etc, but today I was confronted by a runaway horse. The beast seemed pretty big and was first seen trotting down the middle of quite a busy road flanked by a string of several hundred runners on the left and one or two motorists heading in the other direction.
The 'owner' of the horse appeared from a side road just infront of me and started shouting at the several hundred runners to turn back. 'Stop being so f***ing selfish' was her cry. 'Somebody do something!' So my question is 'what on earth shoud we all have done'? Perhaps we were being selfish in not stopping, but to be honest the horse would probably have carried on anyway since the front runners were probably about 15 minutes ahead of us by then. I, for one, would not want to go anywhere near a horse, let alone one that had most likely been spooked.
So what happened next? Well about a quarter of a mile further on, one hardy soul had abandoned all hope of a PB and stopped to calm the animal by the side of the road. Many of us ran past, perhaps a little slowly, before the horse then decided to start racing again at which point it started making it's way towards the front. A little later it was somehow coralled into the grounds of a large house at which point another runner managed to shut the gates much to the annoyance of the householder. 'Oi you, you cannot leave your horse here'....... 'Sorry mate, it's not my horse, see ya later!'
Anyway, back to my original question - 'What would you have done, and what should we have done?
I guess it's also a bit of a moral question. It would probably have been morally the right thing for us all to stop, but on the other hand unless we had all stopped, and remember there were a few hundred of us, the horse would probably have carried on. No doubt some were far more inteested in a PB than the welfare of a horse.
And incidentally, how do you know I look scary in a pair of running shorts?
I think people should stop - just because you are in a race doesn't mean you can carry on and possibly put the horse rider at risk. I can understand the temptation to carry on and I might have done myself if I was on for a pb but I think the right thing to do is stop.
We had a similar stituation with two riders and our club bike race a couple of months back - the bunch had to stop meaning those that had got past went on to contest the win and everyone else was out of contention but it's better than a horse rider being thrown.
A horse loose?
I would have run away... which is kind of the point I suppose.
Even without a rider the best thing to do is to stand still and try and not frighten it.
It's an animal after all and you can't predict what it is going to do.
I think you're right Phil.
As far as I'm aware, everything ended well and said horse will have been retrieved unscathed but I have been wondering since what would have happened if...............the horse had really got spooked by the runners and been injured? - Would the race organisers have had any liability? What if any of the runners had been injured, or the horse had damaged one of the cars? - Is the horse owner liable? What if the horse had run amok in its temporary home? - Is there any blame attached to the runner who put him there?
You probably won't give this half as much thought as I have, and why should you, but in the litiguous world in which we live the possibilities must be endless.

Horse are flight animals and will run away from scary things ....
Last year I was out riding, and came up behind 2 horses, I don;t have a bell, so I slowed, went on the wrong side of the road and from a decent distance shouted "Behind".. and went slowly past with out any undue flapping and motion..... I got a right load of swearing (2 middle aged women) I was shocked, About 3 miles further on 2 more women, so I went on the wrong side of the road, stopped pedalling etc so no undue motion and guess what ? I right load of swearing cos I hadn't shouted !
So sorry folks, If you are on the road and on your horse, it is your responsability to control it (My daughter in law who rides dressage at a decent level and has 3 horses agrees), But suggests I continue to shout bike or some such
Funnily enough, we went past a horse today at the Preston 10. there was man sat on its back, and it didnt look at all bothered by the runners going past.
I'd say any damage done by a loose horse is wholly down to the owner, or whoever let it loose - a bit like the way I'm reswponsible for my dog

That came up in last weeks Telegraph Motoring section.. The horse can't be held responsable, and you can't claim off the rider. So even if it destroys your car it's tough
My brother-in-law was out walking his dog, which decided to bolt out in front of an articulated lorry. As you can imagine the dog was totally destroyed and my b-i-l emotionally and physically sick at what he had just witnessed. A couple of weeks later he got a letter through the door demanding he pay X amount of £s for damage caused to the lorry by his dog, he sought legal advice and was told that as he was the dogs owner he was in fact liable and to pay the bill for damages. Was a couple of years ago so things may have changed slightly.

Walter F. DeMane
Walter F. DeMane died peacefully in Colorado, surrounded by family on Wednesday, Aug. 14, at the age of 85.
Born in Syracuse, the son of Paul and Anna DeMane and raised in Cortland, he graduated from Clarkson University and served in the Army during the Korean War.
Walt was the owner of the Overhead Door Company of Plattsburgh and Massena, and he was active in Rotary, St John's School and Beartown Ski Area. He was one of the original Beartown Swap Shop volunteers and also enjoyed many years serving as ski patrol and tending gates at local ski races.
Walt and his wife Pat were married for 61 years and raised six children in Plattsburgh. In retirement, he and Pat split their time between Gulf Harbour in Ft. Myers, Fla., and Gull Point on Upper Saranac Lake.
Walt was a dedicated volunteer for Habitat for Humanity during his years in Florida. An avid and accomplished golfer and skier, Walt was additionally a talented carpenter and enjoyed engineering anything with his family and friends on Gull Point. He had a special fondness for antique wooden boats and spent his final days touring Upper Saranac in his "woody" with anyone who wanted a ride.
In addition to his wife Pat, he is survived by his children and grandchildren: Mark and Kathy DeMane of Golden, Colo., Stephen and Carol DeMane (Christine, Whitney) of Englewood, Colo., Michael and Catherine DeMane (Annie, Emma, Laura, Sarah) of Deephaven, Minn., Scott and Wendy DeMane (Stephanie, Amy) of Plattsburgh, Deidre and Eric Ellis (Ian, Colin) of Englewood, Colo., and Capt. Peter and Kate DeMane (Erin, Courtney, Claire) of Norfolk, Va., and Brussels, Belgium.
A private family gathering is planned in Colorado, and at his specific request, a party will be held next summer on Gull Point to celebrate his life.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Upper Saranac Lake Foundation (usfoundation.net), a nonprofit organization that seeks to preserve, enhance and protect the natural beauty, environmental quality and recreational enjoyment of Upper Saranac Lake.

The need is constant.
Solemn anniversary is a time to remember
While heralded as one of the worst days in American history, the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 united the country and brought out the best of the American spirit. Nationwide, people came together to support the victims and survivors with donations of time, blood and money. Together, we responded, recovered and rebuilt.
As the tenth anniversary of this tragedy approaches, it is a time to remember the victims, honor the brave first-responders and rekindle the spirit of service to others. While we look back and remember, we also look ahead with a renewed commitment to prepare our families and communities for disasters of any kind. Be Red Cross Ready and take steps to prepare today.
Thank you for ensuring your community is prepared through your involvement with the American Red Cross.
Recent release helps save lives
By Mary Hoppe
Recently, I drove past the building that used to be my neighborhood video rental store. Fifteen years ago, an American Red Cross donation bus used to be parked outside regularly. I remembered how I would stop by, donate blood and pick up the "recent release" to watch. I hadn't given blood in years, and noticed that the storefront now reads, "American Red Cross Donor Center." Driving by, a little voice in the back of my brain told me I should take an hour out of my day to donate.
I Googled "Red Cross tips for a successful donation" to find out how to prepare. The first thing that caught my eye was to eat a diet of iron-rich foods. I guess I would have to pass on the McDonald's value meals and late-night drive-thru at DQ and concentrate on a healthier diet including spinach, red meat, fish, beans and raisins. Secondly, get a good night's sleep if my five- and two-year-old kids allow it. Next item: avoid caffeine and get plenty of fluids. I knew that my habitual cup of coffee and Diet Mountain Dew should be replaced by water to hydrate my system.
I finally made the decision to walk through the doors and give blood. The atmosphere was very calm, and I told myself "You can do this!"
Unlike when the building was home to the video store, I actually came out ahead. I didn't pay any late fees and my transaction didn't come with a receipt. Instead, I was given a sticker that read, "Be nice to me. I gave blood today." It felt good knowing I actually made a difference. Now my "recent release" will help save someone's life.
Student leaders help save lives, earn scholarship money.
As summer comes to a close, it's time to resort to that back-to-school checklist. The American Red Cross reminds youth about the importance of blood donation through the Young Minds Change Lives Educational Scholarship Program.
High schools participating in the program can earn scholarship money for post-secondary education. The Red Cross awards scholarships based on the number of blood donations at high school blood drives throughout the school year, and school representatives then determine how to award the scholarship(s).
By hosting a blood drive and donating at your high school, you can help save lives while helping to establish a college scholarship fund to benefit students. Call
After cancer and countless transfusions, family feels blessed
Carlee Regan, age 5, is busy enjoying play dates with friends and dance recitals. She participates in the local Relay for Life event and cheers on her dad and brother as they leave for Memphis to start off a four-state fundraising relay foot race to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
When Carlee was just six months old, she was diagnosed with clival chordoma, a rare skull-based tumor usually found in adults. Three years ago, she was a tiny toddler with big blue eyes and no hair. Carlee's mom, Julie, says she isn't sure how many transfusions her little girl received during two and a half years of chemotherapy. "She spent many nights on the pediatric floor getting a lot of rounds of chemo and many transfusions. Now we are truly blessed," says Julie.
Thanks to her doctors and the generosity of volunteer blood donors, today Carlee has a head full of thick, curly hair that frames her face, bounces in the breeze and even helps position her preschool graduation cap.
