The White Supremacist Movement
The most significant branch of the radical white supremacist movement in the 1980's and 1990's is Christian Identity. "Identity is based on the premise that the Jews are literally Children of Satan--the seed of Cain, that people of color are `pre-Adamic' mud people--God's failures before perfecting Adam, and that white Christian Aryans are the `Lost Sheep of the House of Israel'-- chosen people, and therefore America is the biblical promised land," explains Lenny Zeskind, research director of the Center for Democratic Renewal.
" Some Identity members collect weapons and ammunition in expectation that the Biblical `End-Times' are near," says Zeskind who wrote a monograph on Christian Identity for the Division of Church and Society of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. "Identity theology binds together a number of previously isolated groups...Important sections of the Ku Klux Klan, the neo-Nazi movement, the Posse Comitatus, the Aryan Nations, and other groups have adopted Identity theology," Zeskind reports.
Identity is based primarily on an earlier religious concept called "British Israelism." The group most responsible for spreading Christian Identity in the 1980's was the Posse Comitatus, a loosely-knit survivalist movement which grew out of the Christian Identity teachings of Col. William Potter Gale in California. Survivalists believe the collapse of society is imminent, and thus they collect weapons and conduct field exercises in armed self-defense and reconnaissance. Some survivalists store large quantities of grains, dried foods, canned goods, water and vitamins in anticipation of long-projected economic or political collapse and racial rioting. Many have moved to isolated rural areas. Not all survivalists are part of the white supremacist movement, but many are.
The Posse Comitatus, Latin for "power of the county" but more accurately transliterated as "to empower the citizenry," is the legal concept used by sheriffs in Hollywood westerns to round up a posse and chase the varmints. In modern legal terms it means the right to deputize citizens to carry out law enforcement functions, and it also is the basis of a federal law preventing the use of federal troops in civilian law enforcement without the express consent of the President. Members of the Posse Comitatus, however, promote an unsubstantiated belief that the Constitution does not authorize any law enforcement powers above the level of county sheriff, and that state and federal officials above the county level are part of a gigantic conspiracy to deny average citizens their rights.
Many Posse and Identity adherents believe Jews, Blacks, Communists, homosexuals and race-traitors have seized control of the United States. They refer to Washington, D.C. as the Zionist Occupational Government (ZOG). They read the novel "The Turner Diaries" in which an underground white army leads a revolution against ZOG.
In 1969 H. L. "Mike" Beach in Portland, Oregon began issuing "Sheriff's Posse Comitatus" charters and handbooks. Soon Gale began issuing his own charters and a handbook called the "Guide for Volunteer Christian Posses." Early factionalism gave way to an informal political and religious movement which began to grow. In the early 1970's a Posse manifesto was issued in booklet form. In late 1974 a national Posse convention was held in Wisconsin with 200-300 attending.
The most visible and active branch of the Posse for many years was in Wisconsin. The press gave much attention to Wisconsin Posse leader James Wickstrom, although his claims to hold some vague national leadership post was flatly contradicted by the autonomous and anarchistic nature of the Posse itself.
States where Posse activity was reported in the 1980's included: California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
The most violent Posse confrontation involved the mishandled attempt to serve legal papers on Posse activist Gordon Kahl. Two federal agents from the Justice Department's U.S. Marshals Service were killed, and several persons wounded. Kahl fled underground and was later killed in another mishandled attempt to flush him from a fortified bunker. Kahl and other white supremacists killed or jailed by the government have become martyrs to Posse adherents and other racists. After the Gordon Kahl incident, many Posse and Christian Identity members decided to carry out activities in secret or through front groups.
While the Posse was growing in the Midwest and west, members of Ku Klux Klan and Nazi groups joined together for a deadly assault on an anti-Klan rally in Greensboro, North Carolina on November 3, 1979. Five members and supporters of the Communist Workers Party were killed in the shootout. Following the Greensboro shootings and the death of Gordon Kahl, a number of previously-antagonistic racist groups in America began to make contact with each other, and began to establish informal means of communication and information sharing. Christian Identity was the glue than held the groups together.
Not all Klan groups accepted the new Identity-based coalition, but those that did began to call themselves the Fifth Era Klan to demark what they hoped would be the fifth period of growth by the Klan since its inception. The Fifth Era Klan adherents sought to forge ties with other racist groups across the nation. One concept hotly debated was the idea of a mass movement of white supremacists to the pacific northwest where there were relatively few minorities and a low population density. Racist groups began to stage joint activities, sometimes built around survivalist encampments. As this cooperation became more formalized, what emerged was, in effect, a white racist alliance which shared a belief in Identity. One of the leaders of the movement in the northwest was Identity Pastor Richard Butler of the Church of Jesus Christ--Christian which operated out of a compound called Aryan Nations in Hayden Lake, Idaho.
The members of the group variously called The Order, White American Bastion, or The Silent Brotherhood, who were convicted in Seattle for staging armed robberies and murdering Denver talk show host Alan Berg, were predominantly adherents of Identity organized out of the national meetings held at Butler's Aryan Nations. According to the Klanwatch Intelligence Report of the Southern Poverty Law Center:
" Aryan" or "White" as used by Identity ostensibly refers to persons of Nordic, Anglo-Saxon or Germanic stock, or at the very least, persons stemming from Northern or Middle European ancestors. The Identity definition of "Aryan" is more closely related to mythological or operatic reality rather than any scientific or anthropological definition of Indo-European peoples. Aryan actually is a term used by linguists to trace the common roots of the Indo-European languages.
Christian Identity borrows paranoid conspiratorial beliefs from reactionary groups such as the John Birch Society with their claim that secret cabals run most world governments under orders from wealthy elites such as the Rockefeller family acting through groups such as the Trilateralist Commission, the Bilderberger banking conference, the Council on Foreign Relations, and officials of the Federal Reserve Bank.
From ultra-right Christian fundamentalists comes the idea of a secular humanist conspiracy involving liberal elites such as radical academics, teachers union leaders, journalists and network television programmers and gay men and lesbians who pave the way for leftists, socialists and communists. These are the core beliefs of persons such as Reed Irvine of Accuracy in Academia and Accuracy in Media, and Phyllis Schlafly of the Eagle Forum. Pat Robertson, leader of the Christian Coalition, recently wrote a book attacking president Bush's New World Order and echoing many paranoid conspiratorial charges of the reactionary and fascist right. Robertson also throws in a discussion of sinister networks of Masonic lodges and the shadowy Illuminati group. It is these reactionary forces that made TV appearances during the Republican convention in 1992.
White supremacists add to the bizarre brew a list of racial enemies such as Jews, Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Indians, indeed all non-Aryans. The Posse Comitatus also sees as agents of the conspiracy all state and national elected politicians, and all law enforcement officials above level of county sheriff such as game wardens, Internal Revenue Service agents, federal Marshals, and the FBI.
Christian Identity wraps all the conspiracy theories together and adds the myth that white Christian Americans are God's Chosen People fighting a religious war against satanic forces. Identity combines the worst aspects of Hitlerian racial theories, the Spanish Inquisition, and the Crusades.
Persons who believe in Christian Identity generally:
· Support white power & Aryan supremacy;
· Believe in Black genetic inferiority;
· Possess romanticized notions of Aryan culture;
· Are virulently anti-Communist, anti-liberal and anti-modernist;
· Manifest a jingoistic patriotism a la "Rambo;"
· Mistrust government & law enforcement agencies;
· Fear Black power & Black pride;
· See any positive media coverage of non-Aryans as a Jewish-Communist Plot;
· Resent Black job gains in the working class & professions;
· Think Black politicians are pawns of Jews;
· Believe Black activism is directed from Moscow or Tel Aviv;
· Practice armed survivalism as a defensive necessity.
The fascist right has targeted for recruitment members of tax protest groups, farm and ranch organizations, former or current members of the Ku Klux Klan and various Nazi groups, supporters of Lyndon LaRouche, persons organizing against government repression or covert action, alternative health care advocates, antiwar organizers, and persons concerned about peace in the Middle East.
In the past the KKK and other racist and fascist groups in the U.S. intertwined with the political and law enforcement power structure of the communities in which they operated, especially in the rural South. The new racist Identity movement, however, is openly hostile toward most law enforcement officers because they are seen as collaborating with the Zionist Occupational Government. Thus Identity's critique of government misconduct is central to their ideology, and has resulted in repeated armed conflicts with government agencies which in turn have used questionable tactics to target this sector of the racist right.
Cooperation among racist groups was enhanced in the 1980's by the establishment of several racist computerized bulletin board systems and the distribution of a cable TV program "Race and Reason" hosted by California's Tom Metzger, head of White Aryan Resistance. Here is an example:

ProQuest has provided UMass Lowell with trial access to its new Polymer Science Collection database for one-month trial period running from April 19 – May 19, 2011.
The ProQuest Polymer Science Collection combines several ProQuest databases and services: Polymer Library (formerly Rapra), ProQuest's new Deep Indexing service, and ProQuest's new Polymer Science Journals.
UMass Lowell continues to subscribe to the Polymer Library database along with Advanced Polymer Abstracts both still accessible on the CSA platform. However, ProQuest, which owns CSA, is discontinuing Advanced Polymer Abstracts soon and is offering the Polymer Science Collection as a replacement. This new product is available on the new ProQuest web platform that combines all of the ProQuest databases with CSA databases, so all of ProQuest's holdings will be accessible in the same online format. Along with this platform change, ProQuest is also introducing several new database products and services, such as several science collections and Deep Indexing.
ProQuest's new "Deep indexing" service categorizes data, variables and other content represented in tables, maps, graphs, photographs and other figures. It allows users to search and retrieve information from these resources typically embedded in scholarly publications. Applicable journal article records are enhanced with thumbnails showing the tables and figures contained with that article.
Access to this trial is available through the library's New Database Trials and Subscriptions webpage.
Please post comments concerning any aspect of this trial; it aids significantly in our decision-making process.

Patrick Murphy on Government Reform
Congressional Summary:Amends the Voting Rights Act of 1965 with respect to the requirement that a federal court retain jurisdiction for an appropriate period to prevent commencement of new devices to deny or abridge the right to vote. Expands the types of violations triggering the authority of a court to retain such jurisdiction to include certain violations of the Act as well as violations of any federal voting rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or membership in a language minority group. [This bill would ban requiring photo IDs in order to vote].
Opponents recommend voting NO because:Sen. Bob Dole (on related bill from 2007, whether to add an amendment allowing photo ID): I am proposing a commonsense measure to uphold the integrity of Federal elections. My amendment to require voters to show photo identification at the polls would go a long way in minimizing potential for voter fraud. When a fraudulent vote is cast and counted, the vote of a legitimate voter is cancelled. This is wrong, and my amendment would help ensure that one of the hallmarks of our democracy, our free and fair elections, is protected. Opinion polls repeatedly confirm that Americans overwhelmingly support this initiative.Proponents support voting YES because:Sen. Dianne Feinstein (on related bill from 2007): If one would want to suppress the vote in the 2008 election, one would vote [for Dole's amendment] this because this measure goes into effect January 1, 2008. It provides that everybody who votes essentially would have to have a photo ID. If you want to suppress the minority vote, the elderly vote, the poor vote, this is exactly the way to do it. Many of these people do not have driver's licenses. This amendment would cost hundreds of millions of dollars to actually carry out. It goes into effect--surprise--January 1, 2008 [to affect the presidential election]. I urge a "no" vote.
Congressional summary:
Proponent's argument in favor (by Reps. Nancy Pelosi & John Sarbanes): Citizens United shook the foundation of our democracy: the principle that it is the voices of the people, not the bank accounts of the privileged few, that determine the outcome of our elections and the policies of our government. Most members of Congress would leap at the chance to fund their campaigns without having to turn to a familiar cast of big donors and entrenched interests. Today, that's virtually impossible. But we can and must break the grip of special interests on our politics: rally around H.R. 20.
Opponent's argument against (The Examiner): The proposed legislation seeks to undo the Citizens United v. FEC ruling which has been a thorn in the side of progressives ever since the Supreme Court ruled in 2010 that political spending was "a form of protected speech under the First Amendment." Although the "Government by the People Act" innocently claims to want to get big money out of politics, the real goal is to smash the Tea Party. The fear that conservative groups would have access to funds typically granted to progressive groups and unions was too much to bear.

Many market observers and analysts draw pretty rosy picture for media tablets' market prospects. Some estimate that the total available market of various personal computers in slate form-factor may be as high as 50 million to 60 million already this year. However, with the price that starts at approximately $500 it is highly unlikely that this goal will be reached.
"We are not as optimistic about tablet growth as are our peers. Based on the price elasticity for other consumer devices, tablet devices would need to decline to approximately $200 - $250 to expand the market above 50 million units annually," said Glen Yeung, an analyst with Citigroup, reports Barron's web-site.
Following the success of Apple iPad, tens of companies have introduced or plan to introduce their media tablets as well as PC tablets later this year. However, pricing of the majority of devices announced so far is higher than $400 (iPad starts at $499) and some will cost $700 to $800 in the U.S. Meanwhile, in some European countries Samsung Galaxy Tab, a 7" slate costs around $1000. Naturally, the overpricing happens as a result of frenzy towards tablets by early adopters, however, there are also natural technology constraints that do not allow to make tablets truly inexpensive for the masses. That inability, coupled with over-optimistic expectations, may cause excessive production of semiconductors for tablets that will not be utilized. As a result, companies like Freescale, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments and others may suffer.
"With the constraints of current technology, [selling tablets at $200 - $250] is not possible. With this is mind, we suspect that the 50 million to 60 million tablet build forecasts for 2011 could result in excess inventories, likely evident by 2H 2011. The counter-argument is simple: tablets will sell well. And while we cannot definitively say they will not, we believe the risk of excess inventory will keep Nvidia Tegra-related multiples range-bound," added Mr. Yeung.
Apple managed to sell 15 million iPad gadgets in 2010, Samsung Electronics sold 2 million of Galaxy Tab slates, whereas various makers of netbooks supplied around 35 million of netbooks. Netbooks are much less expensive than tablets and therefore have better volume opportunities. A big question is whether tablets will be bought in addition to notebooks or instead of netbooks as in the former case the market potential of tablets is much higher than that in the latter.

As anyone with a dog knows, there are a lot of interesting smells out there; some worth rubbing up against and rolling in. As an experiment, we spread some short-acting scents in front of six cameras this past summer to see if they might help us 'detect' more animals. The results varied between sites and we're still analysing the data but the animals at this particular site, up the Cascade River Valley, certainly showed interest. Although it may look like they're dancing and having a great time, it's worth remembering how hard it is to be a wild animal – especially if you're a grizzly cub and that big male who visits the rub tree soon after you isn't your Dad.

Until recently our state of the art method for measuring startup was to subtract a timestamp passed via commandline from a
new Date() timestamp within a
<script> tag. Vlad pioneered this approach, me and others adopted it.
Turns out there are two problems with this approach:
- It is cumbersome, especially on Windows where there is no easy way to pass a timestamp via the commandline.
- It is wrong. Turns out that Firefox starts loading web pages before the UI is shown. One can't be sure that the page being loaded is within a visible browser
Our oldest startup benchmark, ts, has been gathering wrong numbers all along. This resulted in a class of perverse optimizations that decreased the ts number, but increased the time taken for UI to appear (ie bug 641691). The new tpaint (bug 612190) benchmark should should address this. On my machine measuring pageload vs paint-time results in a 50-100ms difference. See the graph server for more data.
This is why AMO's complicated method of measuring startup is wrong. Please use our shiny new about:startup extension or if you absolutely want to avoid adding any overhead use getStartupInfo API directly.

The Hot Tale Of Trains, Tickets And Roman Lovers by Aria The Bad Ass | Aria Alperts, Italian Journals
Published on August 1, 2012
Section Monkie Journals, Traveling & Cool Stuff To Do
Photographer: Aria Alpert
The tale of how Bad Ass Aria, never takes no for an answer, when it comes to reaching a Roma Lover. Well let me back up, let me start by saying, I got my train to Roma. Finally. It was quite an ordeal to get here. On the train that is. I have been challenged with an insane transition back into the real world from my peaceful countryside retreat in Noci. Away from food, wine, espresso, drama, computers, phones, language barriers, crowds of people, obstacles….Ahhhhhhhhh….
So…this is what happened…
The train station is in Bari, about an hour away from Noci. The van dropped me off, with 40 minutes to purchase my ticket, get some water, relax and slowly meander onto the train. I went to the self-serve computer to purchase my ticket but was having trouble. Hmmmmm, what was the problem…. well…the problem was the train seemed to be… sold out. Huh? SOLD OUT?? WTF?
My anxiety immediately started to build. I didn't even think to buy my ticket in blissed out Noci.! Huh. Okay, pull yaself together. Talk to the authorities. So, I stood in the long ass line to talk to the Italian ticket guy. My turn comes, 25 minutes later. 'I gotta get on that train. To Roma now.' I demand. Not only does this guy not speak any English, he didn't seem to give a shit and he just kept shaking his head, NO.
Well, mister grumpy Italia, I am not gonna take NO for an answer. My lack of speaking this beautiful language will not stop me either from convincing whom ever I need to convince that I gotta get on that f-ing train!!!

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $5.90 (20% off)
Works Well Enough
Posted by HawaiianViking on Nov 08, 2012
This product works well enough, that is, if you use a lot of it; go ahead, slather it on, but keep it from getting too near your eyes! I have tried the three most popular Hyaluronic Acid serums on iHerb — Derma E, Hyaluronic Acid Rehydrating Serum; Now Foods, Solutions, Hyaluronic Acid Firming Serum; and Source Naturals, Skin Eternal, Hyaluronic Serum — and this is probably the best of the lot. I've found it to strike an acceptable balance between "practical" and "effective", and it's not a terrible value. The only problem is the smell: It's not great. I'm from Hawaii, where pua melia/plumeria/frangipani (this product's purported scent) trees grow like weeds, and this smells little like actual plumeria and a lot like cheap perfume. I would much prefer an unscented formulation.
Posted by Reviewer2228980 on Feb 19, 2010
This is my 3rd try at buying a good Hyaluronic serum and this one is THE BEST! No fragrance, and leaves the skin bright & clear when you wake up in the morning. I tried the NOW brand and Source Naturals but this one is by far the best. The other 2 were greasy and had horrible strong smells. I am so glad that I bought this one from Derma E and the best part is that do not test on animals! Yes!
Great Product for Acne Prone Skin
Posted by Reviewer1337207 on Apr 20, 2009
This serum works wonders for me. I've been using it for about 4 months (I've used approx 4 bottles so far). It provides moisture and comfort to my skin that is under attack from hormonal adult acne and the many acne fighting products that cause my skin to peel and feel dry. I also think I notice it plumping areas of my cheeks that have become deflated as a result of scarring from acne. Note: I went without it for a few days and the difference was quite noticeable (and, sadly, not good).

way too much fragrance!
Good Serum, but.......
Posted by Reviewer2223826 on Apr 12, 2011
This serum works well, absorbs easily and quickly; however, I gave it only three stars because the smell is horrible. I hold my breath every time I put this on. I wrote a letter to the company and complained of the awful smell. I do love Derma E products, and have always been satisfied with them, but this stinks!

Took away all the fine lines in a couple of days. Does not clog the pores, just hydrates like a dream!
Not the best, but good!

A pretty clean source of Hyaluronic Acid, which always should work for putting extra hydration in to the skin. However, this does'nt get the highest score because of the smell, the tacky finish and the overload of silicone in it which makes it peel or "roll" if you put something not silicone based on top of it. Othervise it does the job.
Love Derma e's hydrating series
Posted by SHL-FiveSevenTwo on Jun 26, 2014
Like the organic ingredients. After using derma e hydrating series for over years, really loving it and will continue to use it. Both Serum and eye cream are excellent. The hyaluronic acid really helps to replenish my face. Please also visit my page for more reviews, especially for new customers to iHerb.

I love this for making my face look at least 5 years younger. Brings back the moisture and youthful look.

VIDEO: One Direction What Makes You Beautiful special behind-the-scenes!
Holy moly, it's a brand new One Direction video! We actually put down our cup of tea and chocolate biscuit to watch it, and that rarely happens. Would you believe us if we said the video is absolutely awesome? Well, it is.
It's full of heaps of funny things, like Louis running up a wall, Niall hiding behind his hoodie like a secret agent, Harry and Zayn doing some of the best dance we have ever seen and Liam throwing a peace sign. Because he's, you know, peaceful.
The only thing we were slightly confused at was the fact that is isn't really a behind the scenes video, but we suppose it does have some behind the scenes shots nicely edited in with a live performance.
It's actually pretty snazzy when you think about it.
And FYI, this video was tweeted for the US Directioners, but we thought we'd share the love and say it is for all. Huzzah!
So, curb your enthusiasm enough to watch the video and then go completely bonkers. That's what we did.
Isn't it brilliant? Did you spot anything else hilarious in the video that you'd like to share with us all? Go ahead, you know you want to.

MacInnes' mark on Houghton will have lasting effect
With little fanfare, a torch was passed this week and an important period of history for the city of Houghton came to an end.
Long-time city manager Scott MacInnes attended a city council meeting for the last time in that capacity. MacInnes, son of legendary hockey coach, the late John MacInnes, has been with the city for 40 years, 17 as assistant city manager before becoming city manager in 1997. MacInnes, who will remain with the city in some capacity until later this year, has left a mark on the Copper County as significant and indelible as the one his father left on college hockey.
In all fairness, MacInnes didn't put the city of Houghton "on the map." But he put it on a higher plane. Through diligence, an ability to bridge the gap between local communities and Lansing, compromise and an uncanny knack for promotion MacInnes saw Houghton thrive when most communities its size in Michigan were struggling to survive.
It's said when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. That's exactly what he did with the 200-plus inches of snow that annually falls on his city. MacInnes made snow a reason to celebrate with events such as the Yooper Luge and Jibba Jabba, turning the downtown into a winter playground.
Under his watch the city's downtown became rejuvenated with numerous attractions throughout the year from art festivals, concerts and family promotions.
For us, MacInnes' crowning achievement will always be the downtown Houghton streetscape project of a few years back.
With at least part of the city's main street turned into a bug ditch throughout the summer, he helped turn what could have been a nightmare into a dream.
With cooperation between the city, the state and local merchants the downtown not only thrived during the construction, but planted the seeds for events and promotion that look to be part of the city for years to come.
What also sets him apart is his willingness to share Houghton's story with the rest of the state. He has traveled statewide on numerous occasions letting cities and villages know Houghton's success can be theirs as well.
With his continued employment with the city, the time to say goodbye to Scott MacInnes is still a little way off. But when the time does come to say goodbye we will do so with the knowledge his impact on the City of Houghton will never fade away.

Washington elite
Documenting the elite/fly-over country disconnect
I don't think it would surprise anyone to find that the "Washington elite" are completely disconnected with the rabble found in fly-over country.
Politico has some examples based on a poll they just completed (Power and the People series). For instance:
Only 27 percent believe the country is headed in the right direction, compared with 61 percent who think the nation is on the wrong track. Likewise, when asked whether the national economy is heading down the right or wrong track, just 24 percent chose the right track, compared with 65 percent for the wrong track.
Yet among the 227 Washington elites polled, more think the country is on the right track, 49 percent, than the wrong track, 45 percent. On the economy, 44 percent of elites think the country is on the right track, compared with 46 percent who believe it is not.
Imagine, if you will, standing the ruins of the economy, looking around and deciding, "yeah, you know, I think we're on the right track!"
You're right, it's unimaginable. Yet there are the numbers of us v. the elite.
If you're wondering what constitutes a "Washington elite", here's how Politico defined them:
To qualify as a Washington elite for the poll, respondents must live within the D.C. metro area, earn more than $75,000 per year, have at least a college degree and be involved in the political process or work on key political issues or policy decisions.
If that doesn't quite make the point, how about taxes?
Taxes are another issue where Washington does not appear to have its finger on the pulse of the country. Fifty-three percent of the general public ranked taxes as a "very important" issue, while 37 percent of elites said the same.
Because, you know, taxes are the life-blood of government, and these are the people who run government. So what do you suppose they think is more important – your tax burden or the availability of the funds they need to do what they think government should be doing?
This, however, should come as no surprise:
Among the elites, Obama has a 66 percent favorability rating, while 34 percent view him unfavorably. Outside of Washington, only 48 percent of respondents view the president favorably, compared with 47 percent who view him unfavorably.
In prospective 2012 matchups, Obama never falls below 60 percent support among the D.C. elites. Yet among the general population, the president doesn't win more than 48 percent support in any of the pairings.
On the question of the 2012 presidential election, the general public gave a generic Republican candidate a 5-percentage-point edge over Obama, 42 percent to 37 percent, while among Washington elites, the president would cruise to reelection by a 2-to-1 ratio — 56 percent to 28 percent.
Washington is Obama's town right now, the "elites" mostly work for him and they also know which side of bread is buttered for them. So naturally they believe they've done good work, are underfunded and have a real dynamite dude in the driver's seat.
Or at least that's what they say in answer to a poll. But in reality, I'd have to guess there's some real "willing suspension of disbelief" going on in DC.

I made a trade yesterday in my fantasy football league (not the TCF one) which was voted down. I wanted to get people's take here.
I give up:
Chad Johnson
Jonathan Stewart
and I receive:
Roddy White
Mewelde Moore
In this league you start 2 RBs and 3 WRs. I drafted Stewart and have yet to play him all year as he's behind Addai, Chris Johnson, Slaton, and Forte. (I went very rookie-heavy in the draft and its paid off.) Ocho has been a total bust this year but I've been forced to play him every week as my other WRs are Hines Ward, Chambers (who's missed a couple games), and DeSean Jackson - what with byes and all, I've only been able to bench him once. Then he went out and scored 2 TDs this week so I seized the opportunity to get some value for him. This trade would net me an elite WR in Roddy. Now I realize Mewelde has returned to the Steelers' bench, but is he really less valuable to me than Stewart? After all, if Willie were to go down again, I'd probably play a starting Mewelde over Stewart anyday. Yet this trade was voted down because I "gave up too much". What do you think? Would you vote this down?

C's still have Shaq, Garnett and Big Baby. Still think they're bigger AND tougher than Heat. Now they're also more athletic. I like the deal from the perspective of Boston looking at getting younger and more athletic and I like Jeff Green.
Jermaine O'Neal is still on life support at the Boston Medical Center as well. They might be able to wheel him out there for a game or two in the playoffs to guard Bosh.

Cake Flour in crust recipes?
April 27, 2005, 08:28:32 AM »
Does anyone have experience or knowledge with using finely milled cake flour as part of the flour in a pizza crust recipe? If I understand the 00 flour correctly, this designation is for the fineness of the grind and not the amount of gluten? A couple of recipes I have found on the web use cake flour as part of the flour mix - one was 3.5 cups bread or all purpose flour and .5 cup cake flour.
I've got some Swansdown cake flour on hand and plan to make the next crust by a recipe combining the two flours. I will report back my results.
Just wanted to see if anyone else had gone this route.

You are correct about the 00 flour. It is milled differently than our domestic flours and can have widely varying protein content from brand to brand. Because until fairly recently 00 flours were hard to come by in the U.S., many cookbook authors would recommend using a combination of all-purpose flour or bread flour and either cake flour or pastry flour. Before I found good sources of 00 flour, I played around with these combinations quite a bit. One well known cookbook author, Pamela Sheldon Johns, who has a home in Italy, wrote a pizza cookbook,
Pizza Napoletana!
, in which she included a recipe using a combination of flours for emulating 00 flour. It uses a combination of all-purpose flour and pastry flour. Subsequently, I found another recipe attributable to her in which she used a combination of all-purpose flour and cake flour. I saved the recipe and have set it forth below, along with my personal notes after having tried out the recipe. My favorite combination of flours is using bread flour and pastry flour. That recipe, along with the Johns recipe from her book, are set forth on another thread on this forum (see Reply #1 at
Here's the Johns recipe using the all-purpose flour and cake flour:
All-Purpose Flour/Cake Flour Version of Neapolitan Pizza Dough Recipe (from Cuisineathome/Pamela Sheldon Johns)
1 1/2 c. warm water (around 105-115 degrees F)
1 t. active dry yeast (about half of a 1/4-oz. packet)
3 c. all-purpose flour, unbleached
1 c. cake flour
1 T. sea salt
Combine the water and yeast in a small bowl and proof until foamy, around 5-8 minutes. Put the yeast mixture in the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Combine the flour and salt and add gradually to the yeast mixture in the mixer bowl. The dough ingredients should be kneaded at low speed until no longer sticky, for about 10 minutes, to prevent any overheating of the dough. Continue to knead for another 20 minutes. Shape the dough into a round, place in a lightly oiled bowl, and turn to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise 4 hours in a warm place. Punch the dough down; divide into 4 pieces, and shape into balls. Brush the dough balls lightly with oil, cover completely with plastic wrap, and let rise another 2-4 hours. Shape the dough balls into pizza rounds by pressing your fingertips into the dough, leaving the edges puffy to create a rim (
). Grasp the rim with your hands, working your way around the circle. As the dough dangles, it stretches by the force of gravity while the edge stays plump. Finish by topping with pizza ingredients of the highest quality and baking on a pizza stone that has been preheated for 1 hour at the highest oven temperature possible (usually 500-550 degrees F for a home oven).
(Peter's Note: This is a good example of a recipe that uses a combination of flours to simulate 00 flour. Because this recipe does not include any sugar or olive oil (other than for oiling the bowl), both of which normally contribute to the golden brown color of pizza crusts, the color of the pizza crusts made with this recipe will be lighter—almost white or a light tan color. Consequently, you will have to look for the melting or browning of the cheeses used, or check the bottom of the crust for light browning, to know that the pizza is done. Note also that this recipe calls for knead and rise times similar to those used for making the classic Neapolitan pizza dough using 00 flour. Since the all-purpose flour needs less kneading because of its relatively high protein and gluten content, and a fair amount of yeast is used, I question why the long knead and rising times are required. It will further be noted that this recipe does not call for any refrigeration. If a period of refrigeration is to be used for any reason, then it might be desirable to use slightly cooler water instead of warm water, to slow down fermentation—by slowing down the yeast—so that the natural sugars in the flour are not prematurely exhausted. This is not as great a problem as using a flour like the 00 flour, because there is still a lot of all-purpose flour used in the dough, even though slightly diluted by the use of the cake flour.)

Thank you for that explanation, Peter. I can try a crust with a 3:1 ratio of all-purpose flour to cake flour and see how what results. I should be able to find white pastry flour the next time I go to Whole Foods Market in Chapel Hill which is just a short drive from my town.
I'll post my results in this next test to find *my* perfect pizza crust!

Don't be surprised if you can't find the plain white pastry flour at Whole Foods. I couldn't find it at the Whole Foods in Dallas, either in the bulk bins or in the boxed flours. All I could find was the "whole grain" variety. So you may want to check the labels carefully. I ultimately bought a bag of white pastry flour from King Arthur while I was buying other items at the same time, including the King Arthur brand of cake flour. In the past, I have used the Softasilk and other supermarket brands of cake flour with no problem.

Adopting a 3:2:1 Champions goal, Marquette seeks three student-, and two faculty-, champions for social innovation in every one college, furthering the Initiative's cross-campus, inter-disciplinary approach.
Faculty Champions will:
Why are Faculty Champions important? Because successful, engaged learning often starts with the willingness of faculty to capture student imagination, equipping students with the knowledge they need to embark on a fulfilling life-journey ("tool for learning") and encouraging students' passions and interests to be agents of positive social change ("framework for life").
Why are Marquette faculty well-suited to the task? Ninety-three percent of faculty surveyed believe there is high (71%) or very high (22%) alignment between the field of social innovation and Marquette's Catholic, Jesuit institutional mission & identity, including, of course, a concern for the poor and marginalized. (Survey conducted following the Fall Faculty Institute on Teaching Social Entrepreneurship, December 2010.) Faculty interest is a partial response to student demand: 97-percent of students surveyed (N = 387) are interested (20%) or very interested (77%) in more exposure to social innovation as part of their Marquette experience.

Winter 2000
Volume 4 Number 4
by Leslie Dobbs-Allsopp
Luis Rivera-Pagán never met John Mackay, Princeton Seminarys third president. But he is well aware of Mackays missionary presence and influence in the southern hemisphere of the Americas, the region that he also calls home. It seems appropriate, then, that Rivera-Pagán was invited to be PTSs 19992000 Mackay Professor of World Christianity.
He comes to Princeton from San Juan, where he is professor of humanities at the University of Puerto Rico. He also serves as adjunct professor of theology at the Evangelical Seminary of Puerto Rico. He was accompanied to Princeton by his wife, Anaida Pascual-Morán, a visiting scholar at PTS, who is a full professor in the Graduate School of Education at the University of Puerto Rico. Luis and Anaida share a blended family of six grown children, a Spanish-speaking German shepherd, and a commitment to academic careers that are fully engaged with the modern struggles of Latin American life.
Rivera-Pagáns intellect and academic training have pushed him out into the world rather than keeping him cloistered in the library. After research at the University of Tübingen, in 1970 he earned a Ph.D. in theology from Yale University. Returning home, he became active in protests against U.S. naval war exercises in Puerto Rican territory.
He explains that these protests (which continue today) are as much about quality of life as they are about hegemony. For example, in 1971 the island of Culebra, part of Puerto Rico, sustained 180 continuous days of bombing during training exercises. Rivera-Pagán believes it is impossible for civilians to live normal lives under such disruptive circumstances, so he and his colleagues engaged in nonviolent civil disobedience by interrupting naval exercises, resulting in their being imprisoned for three months. He describes incarceration as a blessing of sorts, an opportunity to read, to think, and to make lifelong friends.
During their U.S. federal trial, the protestors refused to speak English in the courtroom, and so were jailed for contempt of court. Rivera-Pagán tells this story partly to illustrate the fact that although Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, Puerto Ricans speak primarily Spanish. This year in Princeton is Rivera Pagáns longest immersion in the English language in thirty years. Even his dog, Hatuey Mackandal Ernesto, a true Puerto Rican, only responds to commands in Spanish! (Hatuey is named for three Latin American resistors against colonial oppression.)
The dogs name hints at Rivera-Pagáns scholarly interests. His influential 1990 work A Violent Evangelism (Westminster John Knox Press) was translated into English in 1992, at the time of the quincentenary of the discovery of the Americas. The book provides a window into the extensive debates and divergent opinions within sixteenth-century Spain about the justice, morality, and legitimacy of the conquest and subjugation of the Americas. Rivera-Pagán also explores "the primacy of the theological discourse in sixteenth-century ideological production," and how theology often "served to rationalize avarice and ambition to sacralize political dominion and economic exploitation."
This spring Rivera-Pagán delivered a lecture at PTS titled "Myth, Utopia, and Faith: Theology and Culture in Latin America." He discussed, among other things, reasons for the remarkable longevity of Latin American interest in John A. Mackays The Other Spanish Christ, first published in English in 1932 and quickly translated into Spanish and Portuguese. "Mackay," he says, "articulates with intelligence and eloquence the ways in which Latin American culture, customs and traditions might be enriched thanks to the Protestant way of preaching, understanding, and living the Christian Gospel." Rivera-Pagán is also intrigued with Mackays call for "Protestant theologians to initiate a meaningful dialogue with Latin American literary culture." As Rivera-Pagán points out, it was exceedingly enlightened for a Protestant European missionary in Latin America in the 1930s to be knowledgeable about Latin American literature.
However, Rivera-Pagán takes issue with Mackays conflation of Latin American and Spanish intellectual traditions, with his "naive" understanding of Spanish and Latin American political situations, and with his rather monolithic view of Latin American Roman Catholicism.

Crab Stuffed Twice Baked Potatoes
- 6 large baking potatoes
- 2 tablespoons plus 4 to 6 tablespoons butter, depending on size of potatoes, divided
- 2 medium shallots
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cups cooked crabmeat, preferably Alaska king crab
- 1 to 2 cups grated cheese, depending on size of potatoes (provolone, Muenster or Jack - something mild)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped Italian parsley leaves
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Prick holes in the potatoes with a fork and place directly on the oven rack. Roast until cooked through, about 45 minutes, depending on the size of the potato.
While the potatoes are cooking prepare the crab: Add 2 tablespoons of butter to a frying pan. Add the shallots and cook until translucent. Next add the minced garlic and saute in the frying pan to gently brown the shallots and garlic. Add the thyme and crab and cook until heated through. Then set aside.
Lower the oven to 350 degrees F.
Once the potatoes are cooked and cool enough to handle cut, off a small portion of the top making an opening in the potato.
Take a spoon and scoop the pulp into a bowl. Place the potato skins on a cookie sheet and put in a 350 degree F oven for about 5 minutes to dry them out and ensure they will be crispy when done.
To the potato pulp, add the shallot/crab mixture, remaining butter, cheese and sour cream and mix. Then add parsley, salt and pepper, to taste. Fill the potato shells with the potato/crab mixture. Bake until cheese has melted around 35 to 45 minutes.
Sprinkle with parsley.

Solid group back for Gaels
Duplicating its recent fortunes will be no easy task this season for the St. Edmond boys track program.
On the heels of a Class 2A state runner-up finish, the Gaels will lean on a group of 11 returning letterwinners to help carry on their rich tradition.
"We've been blessed with so many elite athletes over the past few years, and I'm hoping that our guys will want to follow what some of those other people did," SEHS head coach Bill Kibby said. "I feel like we have a solid nucleus to build around. Our seniors are all outstanding leaders."
Kibby's top order of business will be finding capable replacements for departed standouts Neil Flattery and Nate Kolacia. Flattery, a current University of Iowa athlete, anchored the Gael distance medley to a second consecutive state title last spring en route to clocking a new school record time of 3:31.19. He also ran the final leg on the runner-up 4×800 and captured silver in the 800 and bronze in the 400 inside Drake Stadium. Flattery is the defending Drake Relays 800 champion, as well, where he clocked a new meet mark (1:55.18).
Kolacia, who now competes for Grinnell College, took part on St. Edmond's state distance medley and 4×800, along with placing fourth in the 3200 and eighth in the 1600.
"One thing that really hurts us this year is we just don't have that excellent anchor man like we've always had before," said Kibby. "We're hoping some of our young guys will step up for us as the season goes on."
Seth Reel, Hank Lentsch, David Flattery, Aaron McElroy and Cory Angstrom, all seniors, each advanced to Des Moines in 2012. Reel, who finished seventh at the 2A state cross country meet this past fall, was 14th in the 1600 and 21st in the 800 as a junior at state. Lentsch tied for 13th in the state high jump a year ago after settling for seventh as a sophomore. He also qualified for state in the 110-hurdles – an event in which he holds a school record.
Flattery represented SEHS on the 4×400 and 4×800 at state last May, while McElroy and Angstrom both ran the 200 and competed on the distance medley and 4×400.
"If our guys weren't so competitive, I probably wouldn't keep coming back," Kibby said. "I just have to much fun working with this group. They all have have great attitudes."
Senior Thomas Woodruff (field events), juniors Vinnie Harvey (field events), Casey McEvoy (1600 and 3200) and Tristan Sitzmann (hurdles) and sophomores Landon Peed (800) and Matthew Bocken (hurdles) provide St. Edmond with quality depth.
"Hopefully, the weather will break one of these days," said Kibby. "We've been having to practice in the gym and hallways, so we haven't been able to get a good feel for what some of our guys can do."
In addition to his Gaels, Kibby views five-time defending North Central Conference champion Algona and Webster City as the league frontrunners.
Prior to last season, SEHS previously captured 2A state crowns in 2009 and 2011.
Assisting Kibby again this year is Mitch Murphy.
St. Edmond's first outdoor meet is set for Tuesday at Eagle Grove.

Hall receives humanitarian award
PHOENIX – Tex (Red Tipped Arrow) Hall, chairman of the Three Affiliated Tribes, has received the Wendell A. Chino Humanitarian Award, the most prestigious award of the National Indian Gaming Association.
The award was presented to Hall at the association's annual Gaming Tradeshow and Convention in Phoenix March 26.
The award is given annually to a tribal citizen who is a community or organizational leader and has demonstrated a lifelong commitment to humanitarian causes and a commitment to the advancement of the lives of Indian people, according to association information.
Ernest Stevens Jr., chairman of the National Indian Gaming Association, said, "This award signifies leadership, humility, strength and honor – Tex Hall exemplifies all of those qualities. He continues to take charge when many do not. He instills courage to others. His record of accomplishments and humanitarian service to Indian people is truly representative of the spirit embodied by Wendell Chino. This award is one of the highest awards in Indian Country and he has certainly earned it."
The award honors Chino, who led the Mescalero Apache Nation during almost the entire second half of the 20th century and set the model for strong leadership that influenced Indian people nationwide.
Hall currently serves as president of the Native American Basketball Invitational Foundation. He is a founding member and spokesperson for the Coalition of Large Tribes representing tribes with large land bases. Hall has served as co-chair of the National Indian Education Task Force and chairman of the Great Plains Region Tribal Chairmen's Association. He was appointed to the first tribal advisory committee ever established in the history of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to recommend and advise the Secretary of HHS. Hall initiated the Keepseagle class action lawsuit that brought a historic settlement of $760 million for Native American farmers and ranchers. Hall also served two terms as president of the National Congress of American Indians.
Mark Fox, National Indian Gaming Association treasurer and Three Affiliated Tribes' NIGA delegate, nominated Hall for the award.
Mark Chino, son of Wendell Chino, presented the award to Hall.

Maybe you've been reading the series "How to Slay Sin." But while you know the Scripture lays out clear principles, all you can think is, It's just too hard. Or maybe you're not struggling with sin at all but rather a very painful circumstance—an illness, death, financial crisis, or conflict—that feels like it's too much for you to handle. Whatever situation you're in, God has a message for you.
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. (1 Corinthians 10:13)
This passage has five hope-giving truths you must embrace in the midst of your storm.
1. No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man.
You are not alone. You're not the first person to go through what you're experiencing. Whether you've lost a loved one, your job, your marriage, or your battle against sin, there are millions of people around the world and throughout history who have experienced essentially the same thing. This should give you an incredible amount of hope.
You're probably thinking, What hope is there in that? The answer is simply this: common problems have common solutions. Your situation has details unique to you, but at its core it is just like what many other people experience. Scripture was written to people who were in many ways like us. They experienced pain and death; they had bad marriages and problems in church; they struggled with the same kinds of sin we do. Therefore, the solutions God gave them apply to us as well. Whatever your struggle is, the solution is in the Bible.
2. God is faithful.
No true Christian would deny God's faithfulness. But maybe you've been tempted to wonder if He'll be faithful to you. Make no mistake, "if we are faithless He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself" (2 Timothy 2:13). God's very character is at stake, and God will never be found lacking.
God's faithfulness always overcomes sin and persecution. God promised His faithfulness to Israel, even after they'd committed unspeakable acts of idolatry (Ezekiel 16:59-63). God was faithful to David even after he sinned with Bathsheba. God was faithful to Peter even after he denied Jesus three times. God was faithful to Daniel in the lion's den and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace. Sin and impossible circumstances are no match for God's faithfulness.
3. He will not let you be tempted beyond what you're able.
Whatever you're facing right now, God's grace is sufficient for you (2 Corinthians 12:9). It may not feel like it's possible, but on the basis of God's character and by His strength you can overcome your trial. Maybe you've observed others going through difficult times and thought to yourself, I could never go through that. The truth is if God placed it into your life, He would give you the grace to go through it. Whatever you're experiencing now, God gives you the grace to endure it.
4. With the temptation He will also provide a way of escape.
This makes me think of the paratrooper dropped into enemy territory who needs to make his way back to safety. He has no trap door or tunnels to crawl through; he won't be rescued by helicopter or beamed to safety. He has to find a way through enemy territory.
In the same way, God has provided, in every situation, a path for you to take. There is always a choice of roads to travel. When faced with the temptation to sin, you can choose to succumb or you can choose to resist and flee. When you are confronted with a difficult ordeal, you can succumb to despair and anxiety or you can endure with the strength He provides. Whatever your situation, God's Word will light the way of escape and show you the path to follow to get you through the situation and out of enemy territory.
5. You will be able to endure it.
After reminding you your situation is common, God is faithful, and He will strengthen and guide you through difficult times, Paul assures you if you follow God's path, you can and will endure. If you're weighed down with the pressures of life, God may not remove the burden, but He will strengthen your legs to endure.
Think about it. The Bible isn't only for people with simple problems—getting cut off on the freeway or plumbing issues. The Bible addresses all people and all problems, whether trivial (bad traffic, clogged faucet) or severe (life dominating sins, terminal illness).
The apostles had personally evangelized and taught many of the people to whom they wrote. Reading their letters you quickly realize people and churches had very difficult problems and they needed apostolic instruction. In fact, the Hebrew Scriptures were for New Testament believers what the entire Bible is to us—"Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come" (1 Corinthians 10:11).
So when you read 1 Corinthians 10:13, know for certain that no matter the depth of your temptation or trial, the Lord is faithful, He has provided your way of escape, and you can endure it.

I Cor 10:13 says "Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry."
Isnt it that the context of the message in question is an anti-idolatry reminder from Paul? It will make things clearer wld it be if we are aware of that. No temptation to commit idolatry or just to become like the bad israelites is new. This urge is old, but God already dealt with it. He says it's wrong and sinful, and the only way out is worshipping Jesus alone and not the false gods. If not carefully explained, God's escape route seems automatic, but in the context, you are to be an active participant. You need to pass by the way cleared by God, the path of Christianity, biblicality, willful divergence from the anti-moses israel's lifestyle. If not, God will not automatically bail you out. Context dictates that the rescue of God is Jesus, His words, His approved and clear guidelines, not the magical powers that suddenly act up in temtation moments. So isnt it that the idolatry angle clarify the interpretation?
Yes, the context is the sin of idolatry. But the principle is stated in universal terms and is consistent with the rest of Scripture.
Thanks for the comment!
My wife and I lost my father a month ago in a sudden and unexpected heart attack. God saw fit to give us the responsibility of taking care of my disabled sister and mother whom my father had been primarily caring for. On top of that, after 7 years of trying to concieve a child The Lord brought us a beautiful baby girl to care for and hopefully one day call our own, just 1 month after Dad's passing through foster/adoption. The circumstances surrounding our baby girl being brought into this world are horrific. We are dealing with the constant scare of biological parents seeking to get their little bundle of money back. We have been so stressed in the past 2 months with everything that has went on but is is so glorious to be reminded of the promises of God here from 1 Corinthians. Even amidst all that has went on in our lives God has still made a way for us to make it through and for him to be glorified. We will endure to the end because His strength is perfect, and his power everlasting. Thank you for allowing Him to work for us through this blog.
This blog has been very helpful to me over the last few weeks. I thank the Lord for the entire GTY staff.
Thank you Gabriel for remind us this five eternal truths.
Before I came to Christ. Lust was crushing me. I had no way out.
I even cry out to God but no avail. I even to the point of taking
my life 10 yrs ago. When I finally gave my sins up to Jesus. It was
like a sword cutting me and I pour out my soul to Jesus, that
moment was powerful. Jesus is awesome. I am still struggling with
the wounds of the past. But forgiving every moment is wonderful
and serious too. I meant important aspect of our life.
God bless.
Thank you, and Thank you Lord!
#10 Dan,
I've been reading your posts over the last year and I feel that I've learned alot about you. I want to just say that you seem to have overcome alot in your life, and I feel that you are an inspiration to many people that read your posts. God Bless You!
Your Sister in Christ
As stated above, I am very grateful for the GTY Staff being faithful to the Lord to deliver His Word with clarity and at the right time! Thanks and peace be with you!
I agree with you Eileen Harris, Dan has always been an encouragement to me. I love reading his posts.
I also would like to thank Tommy and Gabriel for the best series ever, on this particular topic of killing sin. I think this is one of the most important topics ever to be discussed on this blog. And both Tommy and Gabriel are very good writers, with almost a textbook quality to their words. I cannot express in words what a blessing this series has been to me.
I would also like to apologize for not getting back to one of the other blogs, as I was going to speak about sinner vs. saint to Greg Corran. I say this only because I don't want to make people think I am not a person of my word.
February was a bad month for me. I lost my best friend (sister in Christ) of twenty years, who died of a heart attack. Then a week or so later, I was in a head on collision, totaled my car, broke my foot and have been praising the Lord ever since. I could have been injured even worse, and the man who was responsible, walked away without a scratch.
The reason I am praising the Lord so much is that this worked out to be an amazing opportunity to witness to others. I asked the EMT if he would please get my purse and a book I was reading out of my totaled car for me, it was "The Jesus You Can't Ignore" by John MacArthur. I always carry a book or two in my car. When I got to the hospital, I put the book at the end of the gurney, so that all could see it. This book was instrumental in opening up a dialogue about Jesus. I spoke to two EMT's, two Doctors, an X ray tech, several emergency room professionals, and two people walking the halls in scrubs, about the Lord. Some did not know John MacArthur (that is hard to believe), and some knew about Jesus. They now know about Jesus and John MacArthur's wonderful teaching ministry.
So, praise the Lord, even when it looks bleak from our perspective, God's purpose is always to the praise of His glorious grace.
Benjamin Leclair, post # 7, "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right (Gen 18:25)?" This verse has always been such an encouragement to me. You are a true testimony to God's love and faithfulness, be encouraged.
Thank you for sharing that. God bless.

Our job at UDMO is to assist and empower those in need, specifically low-income families. You all have personally done just this. By participating in the 11th annual UDMO Golf Tournament, you helped us raise over $4,000 to assist low-income families in this area. At a time when we all feel the increase cost of daily living you took the time to help us in our cause and thus you are bettering your community. A huge thanks to Willow Ridge Golf Course for hosting our golf outing and Fourth Street Depot for the food and get together after the outing. Without community partners like all of you we would not be able to complete our mission.
From all of us at UDMO, thanks so very much. Together we can make a difference.
