Yesterday I set off to visit the legendary Hotel California in Todos Santos, Mexico. The Eagles made this song famous in the 70's|(listen to it here on YouTube as performed at the 2007 Grammys.) According to the locals - Todos Santos was a town that the Vietnam draft dodgers escaped to in the late 60's. When communicating with home they would discreetly say they were staying at 'The Hotel California', hence the words of the song:
"We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device……
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave……"
The drive to Todos Santos from my Hotel (on the Los Cabos Beach corridor) is approximately 1 hour, on the two lane Highway 19. I bravely rented a car for the day and set off on my adventure only to get lost before I left Cabo San Lucas. It turned to to be an interesting diversion, as I got to see the area of town where the locals live, which I might not have seen otherwise. Back on Highway 19, which is undergoing construction, the speed limit is posted at 60 km per hour or 80 km per hour. I soon found out that was only a 'suggested' speed limit, as I had huge semi transport trucks right on my bumper and passing me on this narrow highway on a solid yellow line. Once I sped up to the going speed of 110 – 120 kms per hour I fit in nicely.
There were two stops that my Mexican Personal Assistant told me that I had to stop at: Art & Beer for their famous drinks & decor, and Miguel's for authentic Mexican food. Visiting the Hotel California was the anti-climax of the trip as it was very touristy, but the Pina Colada and appetizers at Art and Beer, and the Chili Reno at Miguel's were unforgettable.
The bartender at Art and Beer making his famous Clamato drink (above.) It has 17 ingredients and could constitute a entire meal. These are the ingredients, if you want to give it a try: Tomato juice, orange juice, worchester sauce, soya sauce, lime juice, hot sauce. wasabi, dijon, horseradish, oyster sauce, small scallops, clams, cracked shrimp, celery, celery salt, Vodka, ice.
Me with my Pina Colada - it was sooooo good / Appetizers of squid & scallops and clams on the half shell
The Pina Colada was served in a pre-frozen half pineapple, with appetizers of fresh clams on the half shell, and a separate plate of baby squid and the smallest, tenderest scallops – both were topped with Mexican hot sauce. In Mexico when you order a drink you automatically get something to eat with your drink. This time I got a full meal with my Pina Colada. The seafood was fresh caught locally that morning.

Me and Miguel in his namesake restaurant – Todos Santos
My final stop of the day before heading back was at Miguel's Restaurant in Todos Santos to try one of his acclaimed Chili Reno's. Miguel and his wife started their restaurant 9 years ago with two tables and it has grown into a renowned establishment with recent press in the NY Times and LA Times. The food is authentic Mexican – Miguel's two sisters and aunt were cooking in the kitchen, and I was lucky to get to see my Chili Rellenos prepared. The decor is traditional with dirt floors and typical thatched roof.
Miguel's Chili Relleno
Fry the green chilies in a fry pan to brown the skins to make them easy to remove. Discard the seeds and pulp inside. Dip the chilies into boiling water (to remove the hotness). Stuff with cheese. Beat up an egg white and dip the chili into and then coat with fine bread crumbs, fry until golden brown and the cheese inside melts. Serve with rice and brown beans.

Derby History Quiz
Current Quiz Archives of all quizzes
A Dime Novelist Who Called Derby Home
Read "Maleska", a Dime Novel by Ann Stephens by clicking here
Though often listed as being from Derby, Ann Sophia Winterbotham Stephens, was actually a native of Humphreysville which was once a part of Derby and is now part of the town of Seymour. She was the daughter of John Winterbotham, a manufacturer of woolen goods who was a partner of David Humphreys.
Ann certainly made a name for herself as a prolific writer and editor. In 1831, she married Edward Stephens a newsman from Massachusetts and they moved to Portland, Maine where she became an editor for his magazine - Portland Magazine. She also wrote for the magazine including her first published complete story - "The Tradesman's Daughter."
Because of Edward's poor health, they moved to New York City, and she became editor of the Ladies' Companion, a position she held for four years. A few year's later, she became Associate Editor of Graham's Magazine, which had another associate editor by the name of Edgar Allan Poe!
In 1844, she became Associate Editor of Peterson's Ladies' National Magazine. In addition to being its editor, every year she would contribute another story in serial format commencing in January and ending in December. From 1850 to 1852 she traveled in Europe, where she had the opportunity to meet with writers such as Charles Dickens and other notables such as the pope and members of the Russian imperial family.
She resided in New York City, but spent many winters in Washington D.C. where it is said that she was well connected with all of the presidents and other major political figures of the time.
Some say that the most famous of her writings is "The Old Homestead," published in New York in 1855 and broadly performed over the next fifty years. "Malaeska," the first of the Beadle Dime Novels, was issued in June, 1860, but was originally one of her serials for Peterson's. It is generally considered to be the first Dime Novel every published.
Her writing was too prolific to list here, but suffice it to say that this female author really left her mark on the literary world. Her old homestead in Seymour can still be seen as part of the Valley Heritage Driving tour.
Mrs. Stephens died in Newport, R. I. on August 20, 1886.

The Mander Organ
The magnificent pipe organ at St. Ignatius Loyola has become an organ of choice for recitals and recordings, as predicted by historian Barbara Owen in The New York Times in 1993. It may be heard on a dozen CD recordings that feature world renowned ensembles, such as the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and the Westminster Choir, and solo performances by artists including John Scott, Kent Tritle, David Liddle and with instrumentalists including the New York Philharmonic's Thomas Stacy. The organ has proven itself time and again as a versatile and artistically superb instrument. As the largest tracker-action pipe organ in the New York Metropolitan area, it holds special appeal for organists and lovers of organ music. The organist of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, Olivier Latry, personally chose the organ and church as the American site for his acclaimed cycles of Messiaen's complete organ works in 2000, along with Notre Dame and St. Paul's Cathedral in London.
The organ's debut on April 27, 1993 coincided with an article by The New York Times writer Glenn Collins, who had spent the previous 6 months following the construction of the 5,000 pipe, 30 ton, 45 foot high instrument. Resulting enthusiasm and interest from ABC, CNN, NPR, CBC and a host of other important media culminated in a pre-recital press conference with the builder, John Mander, the pastor of the church, Fr. Walter Modrys, S.J. and recitalist David Higgs. The concert itself was an historic event, packing nearly 1,800 people (some police estimates were 2,000) into a church that can seat 1,200 at Easter!
The firm N.P. Mander was selected in 1991 to build the new instrument for St. Ignatius Loyola. This would be the largest tracker organ ever to have been built in the British Isles. Other instruments by the Mander firm include those at St. Paul's Cathedral (London); St. John's College, Cambridge; Princeton University, and important instruments in Japan (6), Africa (9), Oman (4), and Norway.
The Church of St. Ignatius Loyola is renowned for its acoustics, as Barbara Owen had noted in that initial New York Times story. "The acoustic is awfully good. One of the most important stops on the organ is the room. This is why people sing in the shower and not in the bedroom." Lincoln Center has presented many concerts at St. Ignatius Loyola by artists including Yo Yo Ma, Dawn Upshaw, Ton Koopman, The Kirov Opera Chorus, Les Arts Florissants, and a host of other international performers. The combination of this splendid acoustic and the N.P. Mander instrument is in great part what makes the organ at St. Ignatius Loyola so special.
The organ is featured in numerous recitals each year, and also takes its place in the church's "Sacred Music in a Sacred Space" concert series, founded in March of 1990. From Saint-Saens' "Organ Symphony" to concerti by Rheinberger, Poulenc and Handel, the organ is truly the crown jewel of this acclaimed series of professionally produced choral and orchestral concerts. Most importantly, the organ provides this growing congregation with musical support for prayer at liturgy. It may be heard in worship at the Sunday 11 a.m. Solemn Mass along with the acclaimed Choir of St. Ignatius Loyola. The Mander organ is also played for the Saturday 5:30 p.m. and Sunday 8:00 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. liturgies. At the Sunday evening liturgy the organ combines with piano and choral ensemble to support a musical aesthetic which combines old and new musical traditions. As the parish's many ministries continue to grow and flourish, the organ contributes to the worship of children and young people from St. Ignatius Loyola Grammar School, the Interparish Religious Education Program and many area high schools.
The Church of St. Ignatius Loyola was founded in 1851 and entrusted to the Jesuits in 1866. In 1898 the present edifice was built, housing a Hook & Hastings pipe organ. That instrument fell into disrepair and was replaced by an electronic organ in the 1970's. When the electronic instrument deteriorated, an anonymous benefactor and the Paul Montrone family joined to make it possible for this magnificent pipe organ to once again fill the church with sounds of worship and praise. Above the organ console is carved the Jesuit motto "A.M.D.G." - ad majorem Dei gloriam - "to the greater glory of God". Through liturgy and concert this magnificent instrument will inspire hope, consolation and joy for generations to come!

The BR series coilovers use a large 46mm diameter piston in a 53mm diameter damper body to maximise oil capacity. As the damper unit opearates the oil contained within heats up. The viscosity of oil changes as its temperature varies which can lead to changes in the damping characteristics of the unit.
BC Racing only use a very high quality oil with their coilovers but go that extra mile to maximise performance and build their BR range with a large 53mm diameter damper body. This increases the capacity of the unit which increases the volume of oil contained which in turn reduces the peak temperature and so significantly improves damper performance.

If you set the property to MQ_TRUE, the broker acknowledges receipt of all messages (persistent and non-persistent) from the producing client.
If you set the property to MQ_FALSE, the broker does not acknowledge receipt of any message (persistent or non-persistent) from the producing client.
Note that "acknowledgement" in this case is not programmatic but internally implemented. That is, the client thread is blocked and does not return until the broker acknowledges messages it receives.

Meniscus transplant
Meniscal allograft transplantation is a type of surgery in which a meniscus — a cartilage ring in the knee — is placed into your knee. The new meniscus is taken from a person who has died (cadaver) and donated his or her tissue.
If your doctor finds that you are a good candidate for a meniscus transplant, x-rays of your knee are usually taken to find a meniscus that will fit your knee. The donated meniscus is tested in the lab for any diseases.
Other surgeries, such as ligament or cartilage repairs, may be done at the time of the meniscus transplant or with a separate surgery.
You will likely receive general anesthesia before this surgery. This means you will be asleep and unable to feel pain. Or, you may have regional anesthesia. Your leg and knee area will be numbed so that you do not feel any pain. If you receive regional anesthesia, you will also be given medicine to make you very sleepy during the operation.
During the surgery:
- The meniscus transplant is usually performed using
knee arthroscopy. The arthroscope is inserted into your knee through a small incision. The scope is connected to a video monitor in the operating room.
- The surgeon inspects the cartilage and ligaments of your knee, confirming that a meniscus transplant is appropriate, and that you don't have severe arthritis of the knee.
- The new meniscus is prepared to fit your knee correctly.
- If any tissue is left from your old meniscus, it is removed.
- An incision is made in the front of your knee to insert the new meniscus.
- The new meniscus is sutured in place. Another incision may be needed to sew the meniscus in place. Screws or other devices may be used to hold the meniscus in place.
After the surgery is finished, the incisions are closed. A dressing is placed over the wound. During arthroscopy, most surgeons take pictures of the procedure from the video monitor to show you what was found and what was done.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
Two cartilage rings are in the center of each knee, one on the inside (medial meniscus) and one on the outside (lateral meniscus). When a meniscus is torn, it is commonly removed by
A meniscus transplant places a new meniscus in the knee where the meniscus is missing. This procedure is only done in cases of meniscus tears that are so severe that all or nearly all of the meniscus cartilage is torn or has to be removed. The new meniscus can help with knee pain and possibly prevent future arthritis.
Meniscus allograft transplantation may be recommended for knee problems such as:
- Inability to play sports or other activities
- Knee pain
- Knee that gives way
- Unstable knee
- Persistent knee swelling
Risks of any anesthesia are:
- Allergic reactions to medications
- Problems breathing
Risks for meniscal transplant surgery are:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Nerve damage
- Stiffness of the knee
- Failure of the surgery to relieve symptoms
- Failure of the meniscus to heal
- Tear of the new meniscus
- Disease from the transplanted meniscus
- Pain in the knee
- Weakness of the knee
Before the Procedure
Tell your health care provider what medicines you are taking. This includes medicines, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
During the 2 weeks before your surgery:
- You may be asked to stop taking medicines that make it harder for your blood to clot. These include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve), and other medicines.
- Ask your health care provider which medicines you should still take on the day of your surgery.
- If you have diabetes, heart disease, or other medical conditions, your surgeon will ask you to see your doctor who treats you for these conditions.
- Tell your health care provider if you have been drinking a lot of alcohol, more than 1 or 2 drinks a day.
- If you smoke, try to stop. Ask your health care provider or nurse for help. Smoking can slow wound and bone healing.
- Tell your doctor about any cold, flu, fever, herpes breakout, or other illness you may have before your surgery.
On the day of surgery:
- You will likely be asked not to drink or eat anything for 6 to 12 hours before the procedure.
- Take the medicines your health care provider told you to take with a small sip of water.
- Your health care provider will tell you when to arrive at the hospital. Be sure to arrive on time.
After the Procedure
Follow any
After the surgery, you will probably wear a knee brace for the first 6 weeks. You will need crutches for 6 weeks to prevent putting full weight on your knee. You will likely be able to move the knee right after surgery. Doing so helps prevent stiffness. Pain is usually managed with medications.
Physical therapy can help you regain the motion and strength of your knee. Therapy lasts for between 4 and 6 months.
How soon you can return to work depends on your job. It can take from a few weeks to a few months. It can take 6 months and a year to fully return to activities and sports.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Meniscus allograft transplantation is a difficult surgery, and the recovery is hard. But for persons who are missing the meniscus and have pain, it can be very successful. Most people have less knee pain after this procedure.

Colville closes in on GNL v-ball title
But Indians facetough weekIt's Homecoming Week at Colville High School and that means fall sports' coaches are wondering how their athletes will react to all that pomp, circumstance and distraction.CHS volleyball coach Missy Bennett, whose Indians are unbeaten in Great Northern League action and haven't lost a game, much less a match this fall to date, isn't going on the record to say she has no use for Homecoming. But coaches will worry about focus and not who's on the Homecoming royalty or who has/hasn't got a date to the Homecoming dance. "There are distractions," Bennett said on Monday as her third-ranked Indians prepared to host East Valley (8-2, 8-4) on Tuesday before heading to Pullman (7-2, 7-4) on Thursday (7 p.m. start). Colville will end the regular season on Saturday with a home date against Clarkston (2-8, 2-8). That match is scheduled for a 1:30 p.m. start.Two games upThe Indians have a two game lead in the loss column over Pullman and East Valley with three GNL matches left on the schedule. Colville will host a second round game in the GNL District 7 2A Tournament on Oct. 24. If CHS can hold serve and win the GNL championship, they will host the GNL District tourney on Oct. 27. The top two finishers from the GNL District Tournament will play crossover matches against the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds from the Central Washington Athletic Association.GNL No. 1 will host CWAC No. 4 in a loser-out match. The winner will advance to the State 2A Tournament at Pierce College as the No. 2 seed. GNL No. 2 will travel to CWAC No. 3 and play a loser-out match. The winner will advance to the State 2A Tournament as a No. 4 seed. The CWAC holds all the cardsIn a scenario that is heavily weighted in the CWAC's favor, that league's No. 1 and No. 2 teams will get automatic No. 1 and No. 3 berths to the state tournament.No, you don't want to get Bennett on the record about how unfair this year's playoff schedule with the CWAC is for the GNL. "I've already said enough," Bennett figured. "It doesn't take a lot to figure out it's not a fair tournament (set-up)."LAST WEEKAt home back on Oct. 9, Colville easily dispatched cellar-dwelling Deer Park, 25-10, 25-10, 25-11 behind senior outside hitter Joellee Buckner's 16 kills and six ace serves.Senior setter Leanna Carr had 26 assists and Jacy Vining and Sadie Learn both had six digs.On Thursday at West Valley (2-8, 2-9), Colville took care of business, burying the Eagles, 25-13, 25-20, 25-7.In that match, Buckner had 14 kills and two blocks. Carr had 30 assists.Bennett was pleased with her team's play against Deer Park. Not so much at West Valley."I thought we were very sharp against Deer Park," Bennett said. "In that match, Joellee (Buckner) was on fire. She played well again against West Valley.Not sharp at WV"I thought we were all sharp and played a clean game against Deer Park…it was just the opposite against West Valley. I didn't think we were as prepared emotionally as we should have been (against WV)…we weren't as engaged as we should have been."The Indians, who have experienced more than their share of injuries this fall, saw junior Tyra Brons go down with an ankle injury against Deer Park. She didn't play against West Valley, but should be back in action this week.Earlier this season, CHS lost junior middle hitter Aubrey Buckner to a season-ending knee injury. And junior middle hitter Chantel Nussbaum is rounding back into shape after injuring her ankle last month.Despite the most rigorous GNL week of the season to date, Colville has its sights set on a third straight league championship. The Indians won two straight Northeast A League titles and the 2011 State 1A championship before moving back up to 2A.The Indians are 24-1 to date. QUICK SETSWhile Bennett is usually loathe to pay much attention to stat lines, she did find out late last week what her career record at CHS is. To say the least, one of the state's top high school volleyball coaches has had an impressive run at Colville.But then we knew that already—before the numbers were revealed.Bennett, in her 27th season at CHS, is 609-236 in that span. "I guess there is something to be said for longevity," she quipped. "I was fortunate enough to come into a very good setting here. I have had great kids and my parents have allowed me to push their kids to be successful. That wouldn't happen everywhere."ELSEWHEREIn volleyball matches back on Oct. 9 involving GNL teams, West Valley downed Clarkston, 25-19, 25-23, 25-17 and, in a battle for second place in the GNL, Pullman held off East Valley, 25-22, 22-25, 25-17, 25-14.Last Thursday night, East Valley downed Cheney, 25-19, 25-23, 25-20 and Clarkston downed Deer Park, 25-20, 19-25, 17-25, 25-9, 15-9.

So far so good and almost finished so the review will be up ASAP! Just keep checking back.
Reading Next
I am looking forward to reading both of these books. Have you read either of them?
What are you reading?
After returning from the US with this truly AWESOME pair of Jordan's they are all I want to wear. Sadly they do not go with everything and I don't want to wear them out quickly so they do go back in the box every now and then!
If you have Jordan's – How do you wear yours? If you don't buy some because they are über comfortable!
Skin Care
This delectable bathroom goody has made me want more than the regular three showers a day (it may seem excessive to some but oh well!). Have you tried it?
Hair Care
These bad boys have not only tamed my locks but also kept away the split ends and made my hair feel sleek. Very happy at the moment!
Listening to . . .
This is the clean version of the tune as I thought it was only appropriate for the blog. However if you would like to watch the original then please do find it on You Tube!
I listen to a variety of music but this song right now has made a regular recurrence on my playlist. What is on yours?
This show is highly addictive and there is something that I cannot identify about Benedict Cumberbatch that is just so HOT!
How is your Monday panning out?
Do let me know 😀

RoeiK needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 62 designs submitted by 14 freelance designers.
iDiamonds, http://www.iDiamondsmobile.com
I am a solo developer of iPhone applications. I need a design for an iPhone app that teaches end-consumers how to buy diamonds, and the crux of the app, how much to pay for it using the Manufacturer' Suggested Retail Price (MSRP).
This app has an advanced Diamond Price Calculator and some other features such as an education tab that teaches the consumer everything he or she needs to know before purchasing a diamond, news feed, and a settings tab to change the exchange rate.
Some of the graphics will be used in another iPhone app that does the same thing, but is oriented to wholesalers and manufacturers. This app is already on sale on the app store (search for iDiamonds on the App Store or go to http://www.idiamondsmobile.com/).
I will need a solid design for this app. In general, the app has the look and feel of the general iPhone components. I want a simple but elegant design that will be distinctive to iDiamonds, which will be built on the familiar and user-friendly iPhone's UI.
iPhone and iPod Touch users who are potential diamond buyers or sellers – ages 20-60 . Our users place a high value on design and usability. Our audience will be global in nature.
- All files in PSD or AI format

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
There might be a general Muslim boycott on all Israeli-made goods, but that didn't stop a Muslim ruler from commissioning Israeli silversmiths to craft a stunning diamond-studded candelabrum for his palace.
With a price tag of USD $400,000, the beautifully crafted piece was accompanied by an armed guard all the way from Israel to its new home in one of the nations from the former Soviet Union.
Standing at nearly six feet tall, the candelabrum was carved from pure silver, and includes two flamingos intricately carved from solid gold at its base. Not to mention the 4-carat diamond embedded in the stem. It took eight silversmiths from the Israeli jeweler Hazorfim over four months to craft the work of art.
Since direct contact between Muslim heads of state and Israeli producers is taboo, the deal was brokered by a Russian intermediary, who has already helped the buyer purchase three pieces from Hazorfim, with a fourth in the works.
The buyer reportedly originally commissioned Italian, Russian and Turkish craftsmen to produce the piece. But the level of craftsmanship and care demonstrated by the Israelis eventually won them the contract.
Hazorfim included with the candelabrum a book chronicling the entire process of its creation.

See Dale Chihuly's radiant flowers and golden starfish, among other stunning glassworks, in a new installation at the Seattle Center.
Art lovers are streaming into Chihuly Garden and Glass, a new installation in the Seattle Center that glows with the genius of Dale Chihuly, a native of Tacoma, Wash.
Over the years, Chihuly has pushed glassmaking to extremes of shape and scale. The Mille Fiori (Thousand Flower) room features radiant stalks that twist their way toward the ceiling. Nearby, golden starfish and purple urchins seem to drift in a blue kelp forest.
Puget Sound sunlight (if you're lucky) adds beauty to a 100-foot vine of orange, yellow, and red blossoms that trail along the roof of a barn-size glasshouse.
In a garden outside, fuchsias and dogwoods mingle with surreal glass sculptures, including The Sun, an exuberant burst of red and yellow flames. There's even a café decorated with vintage radios and accordions. (206) 753-4940, chihulygardenandglass.com.

And what of Catholics?
PapistI edited my post while you were posting this.Please re-read my post.Also I failed to include Roman Catholics in my point.The RC, EO and OO are actually one faith which needs to learn to behave like Christians.God help us...Amen
So Christ then has three bodies?
You can not believe that RC EO and OO are three bodies?These are the three stooges if anything more than one.Christ and His Holy Church and His people are one body with one faith, one baptism.NO Division, NO divorce.Divisions and divorces are the acts of man. God has not provided this for us.We do these things to each other because we can not understand love.And we never will....Remember Adam failed twice; first by disobeying God and and second for not embracing the love of his wife. If he loved Eve why would he immediately defend himself over her? He cared not what would happen to her? He should have sacraficed himself for her and taken full responsibility for everything that happened. God may have shown some mercy. But Adam did not know love. He only new "self". We are all just the same as Adam today.The Lord answered Adams mistake and did sacrafice Himself for Adam and Eve and the whole world.Christ taught love.It unfortunately keeps falling on deaf ears; generation after wicked generation.Love comes with a price. We must give up ourselves; and we are not going to do that.The idea of EO OO RC or whatever else is uselessness....not ChristianityVicars of Christ? Let me see one man on earth today allow himself to suffer like Christ did for all mankind. Then we can talk about Vicars of Christ. Up to now Christ has NO Vicar but the Holy Spirit. He died on the cross and nobody helped Him or stood by as His Vicar. Even St Peter ran away and abandoned Him.Two natures? One Nature? Let me see a church that holds true to Christ commandments which is of many things first to love one another than we can talk about Christ' nature. We can't figure out how to pray together and respect each other.We will know His nature by BEING who He made us to be; "a chosen nation". "The salt of the earth", "a royal priesthood" etc.And we are none of the above; not that we ever were. You can't tell a christian form a pagan or heathen today. And we orthodox should be ashamed to say that we are the early church.WE are too busy scratching each others eyes out and keeping up with "life".Just read some the posts on this forum as proof.Our 4th and 5th century fathers were no better; allowing emnity to rear its ugly head among Gods flock; The Flock they were to be protecting even with there very lives..this was (is) God order to the Sheppards of the Church. They failed the primary function of their offices.....Amazing!Can we help them (our Fathers) who were too weak to lead us not in temptation then in our time by forgiving each other...now.Can we say to each other "I love you my brother"?Can we pray together and worship together?Can we take Holy Communion together?no!Why?Of course Christ is going to answer this in His second advent.
So you're subscribing to the Branch Theory, then?
Veniamin,Until recently, the Russian Orthodox Church and the ROCOR weren't in full communion with each other.And yet both were considered Orthodox. Was that the Branch Theory?
Is God three distinct persons of one essence?How? Well... thats a mystery. Something eastern folk harp on about quite a bit.
The Apostles taught Three Persons One in Essence.
We eastern folk harp on no development of dogma quite a bit.
And yet the councils, your own hesychast monks, and Gregory Palamas himself developed dogma quite a bit.
You also harp on fairy tales, mythology and wishful thinking quite a bit.
Don't get me wrong--Christ's great prayer is for all of us to be one and I pray that will be a reality one day.
Christ's prayer?Are you sure this is what you want to say?Christ is God...Amen!He 'commanded' that His Church IS ONE. He did not "pray" for His Church "to be" one some day. His Church is His own undivided Body where he is the Head till eternity.The true Church embraces the members 'in' His Divine Body.If then we as the members are divided amongst each other than that is our problem. NOT Christs' nor His undivided Holy and Universal Church.His Church is still undivided today and will remain as such till the last day.What 'we' presume to be "churches" are only our own human ideas that are lost; not firmly one with Gods ordinance thus we get corruption or what we call ever-so-nicely "denominations".Sadly the only suitable word I can think for what we are doing is 'folly'.This is mans doing NOT Christs'.The Lord said.."It is finished".And even if it was Christs' "prayer" that the Church be one it would be exactly that the second before He prayed for such and would still be one no matter how many ways we find to divide ourselves believing we are 'dividing' something we have no control over.There is only One life, One Church, One faith and One Baptism...Amen.Christ and His undivided Church is already a 2000 year old "reality".I think you would agree that man is the dreamer with his delusional nature and arrogant character. WE really believe that WE can, have, or are dividing or 'have' divided' Gods Salvation (The Holy Church) on doctrinal or dogmatic lines. These elements (doctrine and or dogma) of concern are very important for the faith BUT they are not the elements which the Holy Church was established on. The Church was established 'on' the supreme Sacrefice of the Christ on the cross.... the Innocent Blood of the Lamb. Not on the basis or outcome of a synod of bishops and priests who can not agree on earthly matters of doctrine and dogma. Let me see one of us nailed to a cross and spill our own innocent blood for the sake of dogma and or doctrine and then I would have to say we can divide the church. But this is moot since the only Innocent Blood on earth is Christs. All other blood is of no value no matter how holy we may be.So WE have to pray for the day that WE are one with the undivided Church of Christ which He is heading right now and is coming back for in the day of Judgement.
It's good to read you again, Doubting Thomas. I hope that all is well with you.Ebor
Doubting Thomas,Great post.One thing I would ask you ... You explained why you decided against both Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, but I notice you didn't mention the Polish National Catholic Church. So I'm just wondering, did you ever consider them, and if so what were your conclusions?Welcome back to the forum!-Peter.
Christ's prayer?Are you sure this is what you want to say?Christ is God...Amen!He 'commanded' that His Church IS ONE. He did not "pray" for His Church "to be" one some day.
The true Church of Christ IS ONE and the holy fathers teach this.... Sadly; I know that there are EO's and OO's that may not agree with this fact. I am for unity. I see Orthodox as Orthodox. NO EO or OO.
Me too. And I am Western Orthodox. And the Church is Conciliar, full acceptance of the Seven Ecumenical Councils (and the Local Councils they blessed) being a prerequisite for membership in the Orthodox Church.I am glad we agree.And I presume you also accept those councils.
A lot of noise is being made about the TAC officially petitioning to be accepted by Rome, evidently as a special rite (sui juris doesn't seem to be a possibility, although they may be requesting it).Any reason why they aren't seeking to be received as Western Rite Orthodox?
Dear brother Isa,Way back when the ECF was still "Eastern Christianity" I had a chance to talk/e-mail one of the TAC members at CAF, and asked him if he considered Orthodoxy. I remember he stated that the current ecclesiological position of Orthodoxy is the same as Anglicanism, which did not offer the protection that the papacy offered, and this was exactly what the TAC was looking for. I offered him the possibility that Orthodoxy has also not given in to the innovations that the Anglican Church had amassed. He responded by stating that Orthodoxy has mostly been insulated from the intellectual fervor that the papacy has had to fight against, but the Catholic Church has remained solid despite that. He did not feel confident that the Orthodox Church could, in the same situation as the Catholic Church in the West, be able to face the same cultural/liberal pressures and remain true to the Faith. In his view, since the ecclesiology of the EO and the Anglicans are pretty much the same, in the same cultural milieu as the Anglicans, the Orthodox would go down the same road. Something more was needed, in his opinion, which was the papacy.I have communicated with exactly three other TAC members who feel the same way. The party line seems to be that Newman's predictions about the lack of the papacy in Anglicanism leading to innovations has come true. I guess coming from that cultural background where Newman was so prominent, the choice of the TAC is rather logical.Blessings,Marduk

John Delcos of Newyorkmetsreport.com and Joe DeCaro of Metsmerizedonline.com will be doing more and more projects together with the goal of merging two successful blogs in the hope of giving our readers everything they'll need in covering the Mets.
Today we begin a series on the Mets where we will take a look at each player from the 2011 season beginning with arbitration eligible players and Mets free agent players. Each day we will focus on a new player in a point/counterpoint debate on who the organization should keep or cut loose. Today we start with Mike Pelfrey.
THE SKINNY: Will it ever happen for Mike Pelfrey? Big things were expected from Pelfrey when the Mets made him their first-round pick out of Wichita State University in 2005. However, Pelfrey is 50-54 with a 4.40 ERA lifetime, including 7-13 with a 4.74 ERA last season.
REASONS TO KEEP HIM: He's still relatively young, inexpensive and has an upside. The Mets have precious little depth in their rotation and their prospects are years away.
REASONS TO LET HIM GO: After parts of six seasons, Pelfrey has a losing record and appears to have regressed from 2010, when he won 15 games.
JOHN'S TAKE: Pelfrey has become frustratingly inconsistent during his Mets' career, almost to the point where Oliver Perez comparisons are being made. Pelfrey appeared to have a breakout year in 2010 when he won 15 games, but last year took a giant step back into his previous world of losing focus and command. At this point of this career, Pelfrey is a No. 3 starter at best, but the reason to keep him is that he's a No. 1 to the Mets.
With Johan Santana coming off surgery, and every other pitcher in the Mets' rotation having significant issues in terms of health and production, little help on the minor league horizon, and the team not expecting to make a free-agent splash, the Mets don't have many options other than to bring him back. Pelfrey earned just over $3 million last year, so it isn't as if he'll break the bank.
Pelfrey is still young and healthy enough for the Mets to hang on to him, especially since they aren't expected to make a significant run at contending for the playoffs. At this stage of his career, Pelfrey's value to the Mets is in the hope he'll touch his potential. It's not too late.
JOE'S TAKE: No one player on the current roster infuriates me more than Mike Pelfrey. As a gangster in a gangster movie once said, "the saddest thing in life is wasted talent". That's how I see Pelfrey – just a big hunk of wasted talent.
In 2010, I had some hope that maybe Pelfrey finally figured things out, but as the season wore on his amazing first half looked more and more like a fluke… Too bad. Pelfrey has had more excuses than wins in the last two seasons. His problems range from the mechanical to the physical to the psychological to the bizarre. Pitching coach Dan Warthen said something about fixing him during Spring Training, but instead he regressed terribly.
When given the Opening Day assignment be Terry Collins, Pelfrey spoke about what it felt like to replace Johan Santana and he said he was up for the challenge and looking forward to it. On Opening Day he folded like a cheap chair. On April 1st he only lasted 4.1 innings against the Marlins allowing five runs, and it got worse from there. Truth be told, if he is still on the team next spring he should not be assured of a rotations spot and he should earn it along with the rest pitchers vying for a spot.
As far as tendering/non-tendering goes, the better question is why didn't Alderson try and move him last season. Teams take chances on pitchers with potential all the time and if you're waiting for Pelfrey to boost his value that may never happen while he's a Met. I could think of a dozen other productive things the Mets could do with $5 million dollars than give it to Pelfrey.

U.S. U-18 MNT's Palmer-Brown Works His Way up Ranks at Sporting Kansas City
It was only three months ago when 16-year-old and U.S. Under-18 Men's National Team defender Erik Palmer-Brown signed a homegrown contact with Major League Soccer's Sporting Kansas City.
The native of Lee's Summit, Mo., has worked his way up the ladder both in the Development Academy and Youth National Team picture, and now he has the opportunity to compete for Kansas City's first team.
"It's great being at home, playing in front of home fans and learning from guys like Matt Besler and Graham Zusi," Palmer-Brown said. "It's one of the best feelings in the world to say that I'm a professional in my hometown."
Palmer-Brown is still very much at a learning stage of his soccer career, and he says the mix of professional and international environments has helped him grow tremendously in a short period of time.
"Learning from actual Men's National Team players, you get more vocal and you're able to read the game better," Palmer-Brown said. "It's a lot easier to see the game, and having gone through that, I feel like I'm kind of a leader. At the same time, I'm also learning from [U-18 MNT teammates] like Shaq Moore and Tyler Turner, who have been on the National Team level for a long time."
One stronghold of Sporting's Academy program is its director Jon Parry, who has been with the organization's Academy since 2008 and has coached the game for the equivalent of Palmer-Brown's lifetime.
"Jon Parry has helped me a lot over the years – since I was 12," Palmer-Brown said. "It's been a great experience learning from him and being friends with him. He's a great mentor."
Away from Sporting, Palmer-Brown has recently been involved with the U.S. U-18s under the guidance of head coach Javier Perez. In October, Palmer-Brown traveled to France and started in every match during the USA's second-place performance at the 2013 Limoges Tournament.
"Playing at the international level is definitely an accomplishment," Palmer-Brown said during the trip. "I feel my game has improved in terms of speed of play, and the coaches have really opened my eyes to how I see the game and read it. To be able to play with great players both in the Academy and on the National Team has made things go smoothly.
"Technically, I'm trying to get better all the time, and you really come out of each camp and each game as a different player."

Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. (SNTA) Hits New 52-week Low During January 15 SessionEquities Staff Follow |
Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. (SNTA) established a new 52-week low yesterday, and could be a company to watch at the open. After opening at $0.22, Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. dropped to $0.21 for a new 52-week low. By the closing bell, the company's stock was at $0.23 a share for a loss of 4.26%.
Falling to a new 52-week low is never fun for company's shareholder, but, depending on who you ask, it can be either a buy or a sell signal. Someone bearish on the stock might see it reaching its lowest price in a year as a sign of growing downward momentum and make sure they sell their shares. Bulls, though, are more likely to see a new 52-week low as the stock hitting its low point and anticipate a bounce in the share price.
However one plays it, it's often a critical moment for any stock and should be noted by investors.
Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. saw 709,317 shares of its stock trade hands, that's out of 137.79 million shares outstand. The stock has an average daily volume of 1.89 million shares. After hitting a new 52-week low, Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. enters the new trading day with a market cap of 31 million, a 50-day SMA of $0.40 and a 200-day SMA of $1.68

If you have been charged with a sex crime such as molestation, you may already know that a conviction can lead to your name being placed permanently on California's sex offender registry. In many ways, sex offender registration is a more severe punishment than the actual jail time or fines for a conviction. The sex offender list doesn't go away, it remains long after you have paid your fines or served your time. If you have been charged with a misdemeanor or felony sex crime, fighting to keep your name off the list should be your most important concern.

The Dolan Law Offices has the experience and skillful understanding of Jessica's Law, Megan's Law, or other molestation laws you can rely on to fight to protect your rights. We know how far police and prosecutors will go to set up illegal sting operations in order to entice otherwise law-abiding people into engaging in sex crimes. Putting people on the sex offender registry for questionable charges of lewd conduct, internet sex crimes, or indecent exposure is often a cruel and unusual punishment with a lifelong impact. If you have been charged with a sex offense, we will start fighting to keep your name off the sex offender registry right away.

The 800 RUSH® PRO-X is a SnowCheck Exclusive model for riders who want ultimate big bump control. It is the perfect snowmobile for riders that need to dominate ditches and moguls, and those who ride primarily standing up. Its powerful, proven 800 H.O. Cleanfire® engine, AXYS® Chassis, and Walker Evans® Needle Shocks deliver Rider-Balanced™ Control, Unrivaled Acceleration, and Rider Centric Comfort.
The AXYS® chassis features 93% new parts, including a carbon-fiber overstructure and aluminum handlebars on SnowCheck Select or Limited Edition models. The chassis structure and design makes it possible to change the rider positioning, centralize vehicle mass, redesign the rear suspension, add more power, remove weight, and evolve the rider's riding experience. In short, it is the key to delivering rider-balanced control, unrivaled acceleration, and rider-centric comfort.
Rider Balanced Control gives the rider:
How did we get there? Polaris:
On the AXYS® chassis, the rider is moved forward to a more balanced position. The rider's hands are moved 4.5" forward, the feet are 2" forward, the knees are 4.5" forward, and the seat is 4.5" forward. In the neutral riding position, the AXYS® platform provides bite for flatter, positive cornering. When the trail gets rough or the rider jumps off into the powder, rider balance enables the rider to move back and make the front end light to climb up on top of the snow or the moguls.
The completely redesigned geometry of the PRO-XC progressive-rate rear suspension is optimized for the best performance and Rider-Balanced Control. Through innovative Polaris engineering and construction, the suspension is both lighter and stronger, featuring:
Developed in conjunction with the AXYS platform, the proven 800 Cleanfire® H.O. Engine delivers class-leading acceleration. The integrated mounting position optimizes the balance of the chassis. Featuring:
3-stage electronically-controlled exhaust valves provide improved running quality, crisper throttle response, smoother idle and improved fuel economy. The active feedback for the exhaust valve position provides more accurate fueling in transient situations. These exhaust valves also improve combustion stability, leading to improved durability and engine life.
Lightweight crankshaft weighs 2.5 lbs less, delivering 25% lower inertia and quicker throttle response and spooling. This provides improved acceleration. Designed and engineered specifically for the 800 Cleanfire® H.O. Engine for increased durability, this same lightweight crankshaft is used in Polaris Race sleds, including during the past 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons, showing it's proven durability.
The AXYS Performance seat utilizes a high-performance seat foam, and the seat design is narrower in front to provide greater maneuverability.
Informative and easy to read, this instrumentation keeps a rider aware of sled operating conditions and provides a wealth of additional data.
Another industry first for Polaris - the most advanced instrumentation in snowmobiling. This 4.3" high resolution, full color, LCD digital display provides a rider with information including:
All models built on the AXYS® platform feature standard LED headlights. LED headlights deliver the industry's best lighting:
Storage was designed and developed right along with the AXYS platform, so it installs securely and features seamless, integrated styling that matches the sled's design lines.
This is the ultimate big bump control, serving the needs of riders who are predominantly stand-up riders, and allowing them to absolutely dominate ditches and moguls.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants don't play games at AT&T Park. They stage events. To beat them here, it demands a punch to the face and a foot on the throat. The Rockies staggered the Giants, but could not floor the champs. They were ultimately left wobbly and stunned by San Francisco's five-run rally in a 9-6 victory.
Colorado dropped to 4-16 over its last 20 games at China Basin. Few losses over that time have stung more. A crew of relievers, beginning with Adam Ottavino, could not secure the lead, cementing the notion that the Rockies are the only team in baseball that can have an undefeated homestand and go on the road with no momentum.
Angel Pagan shoved San Francisco ahead with a line-drive single in the eighth that nearly struck Matt Belisle in the face.
Turning point. The seagulls began circling in the sixth, an ominous sign. Alfred Hitchcock might as well have been directing the scene that featured suspense, horror and, for Rockies' fans, disgust.
On the mound. Starter Juan Nicasio plowed through the middle of the order in the fifth, offering no hint of trouble. The sixth became the pull of a loose string on a sweater, unraveling quickly. Nicasio walked the first two hitters he faced, tying his career high with five bases on balls.
Adam Ottavino turned the sparks into a grease fire, retiring just one hitter. Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford, homerless and powerless entering the game, drove a fastball into the left-field seats. After a single, sacrifice bunt and intentional walk, Matt Belisle was asked to clean up the mess. He allowed a game-tying single to Hunter Pence with a questionable first-pitch fastball, before inducing a 4-6-3 double play from Brandon Belt.
Josh Rutledge made a backhand flip to Tulowitzki, who performed a pirouette to avoid the hard-sliding Pence before throwing a dart to Todd Helton. Nicasio labored through his third start, allowing four runs on 95 pitches. The Rockies haven't had a pitcher reach 100 pitches since June 12, a streak spanning 109 games. It's the longest streak in the majors since STATS began recording the statistic in 1988.
At the plate. Tim Lincecum is no longer The Freak. The Mystery is more apt. He wasn't effectively wild Monday, just plain wild. The Rockies pounced on his mistakes in a five-run second inning that was fueled by walks to Wilin Rosario and Nicasio. Dexter Fowler continued his blistering start with a two-RBI double followed by Rutledge's two-RBI single. The Rockies owned a 5-2 lead that swelled to four runs when Tulowitzki hit his third home run in the fifth. He didn't hit his fourth last season until May 17.
What it means. The Rockies' bullpen is quickly becoming a concern. Adam Ottavino needs to improve to avoid a demotion, and Wilton Lopez has not been able to create any trust with his outings.

Sorry to ask, but...
I was just wondering, is the "Star System" up-to-date?
> 10 = 2 stars

> 300 = 5 stars
> 500 = 6 stars
> 1000 = 7 stars
> 2000 = 8 stars
> 3000 = 9 stars
> 5000 = 10 stars
Because I'm not sure, but I think I saw someone with 52 posts and 2 stars.
Do I just remember wrong?
Thank you.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – With day one of the Atlantic Sun Indoor Championships coming to a close, the Lipscomb men and women's track and field squads worked diligently to achieve positive results.
"We had a good solid start to the Championship," said Bill Taylor, director of track and field. "We saw some great efforts out there today. Not many surprises, which is a good thing. A few events fell a bit short, but that is to be expected."
Dani Walker and Madi Talbert turned heads with their performances in the 3000 meters after posting the top two times of the day finishing in 9:46.49 and 9:48.98, respectively.
"Dani and Madi ran a perfect race," said Taylor. "The early pace was extremely fast and it really broke the race up. Dani and Madi did a great job of matching the tactical moves and putting themselves in perfect position."
Along with freshmen Katie Bianchini and Sally Larson, Walker and Talbert were also part of the distance medley relay team that finished with a time of 12:01.15, the second fastest of the day.
"The women's DMR was tough. Three of our four ran the 3000 meters a bit less than two hours before, and Sally anchored but has only had a week of quality work after dealing with a bit of an injury for two weeks," Taylor said.
Also marking a top-three time in the men's distance medley relay was the team of Andrew Bosket, Colin Dempster, Kenny Smith, and Christian Freeman finishing in 10:12.11.
Christian Freeman also captured the second fastest time in the 3000 meters finishing in 8:21.88.
Sophomore Nelson Scott competing in the heptathlon landed the best long jump of the day leaping 6.83 meters and walking away from the 60 meter dash with a time of 7.30, the second best time on day one.
"I'm really proud of the way Nelson fought in day one of the heptathlon," said Taylor. "He's in fourth, and the top four are less than 100 points apart. It's going to be really close for the top-three spots."
Day one of the championships also saw two school records fall with freshman Abbey McMurray securing the 60 meters with a time of 8.01 while freshman Wayne Newman picked up the 60 meter hurdles mark finishing in 8.17.
With the Bisons sitting in fourth place and the Lady Bisons in third after day one, the two teams will conclude the fight up the rankings tomorrow, which Taylor believes will be an exciting event.
"Like I said, all in all a very good day. We've set up a very exciting day two. We are looking forward to some great races and events tomorrow," said Taylor.

In two previous posts, I described an attempt to revise the scoring code for the Low-Key Hillclimbs. The scoring has placed a priority on simplicity. At first, we normalized times to the fastest man and woman each week. But then everyone's score was exceptionally sensitive to the fastest rider. Then I switched to using the median time for normalization, first separately for men and women, then using combing them with an empirically determined conversion factor for women. But while median is less sensitive to any single individual showing up, nevertheless the most challenging climbs tend to attract fewer beginner riders, deflating the scores for these weeks. So the alternative approach is to iteratively rate each climb using a reference time based on the rating of riders who show up, and assign each rider a rating based on the reference times (and their results) of the climbs they do.
A concern about this approach is that if I use all available information equally, I re-rate each rider and each climb after each week's results. This yields scores for previous weeks changing each time results for a new week become available. This is in principle an undesirable feature. It could be avoided by forcibly freezing ratings for climbs each week, rating only new climbs using results including those which preceed it. You might call this approach causal scoring (nothing is affected by future events). However, before taking such a compromize, I wanted to test whether pragmatically this is a problem. Obviously if relative scores from previous weeks are highly volatile then it makes tactical decisions difficult. For example, your previous scores might all be better than the scores of another rider, then you mark him and out-sprint him in this week's climb, but afterwards you've fallen behind in the standings because of a re-evaluation of the reference times for previous weeks. This is something of a pathological example, but it's in principle possible, so it needs to be tested using realistic data.
So I ran the scoring code for 2011 data, which exist for seven weeks of climbs. Two climbs, Kings Mountain Road and Mount Hamilton Road, have not yet occurred.
After week 1, Mountebello Road, there is only one climb on which to determine a reference time, so I revert back to using the median time. I could also use the geometric mean, which would be closer to what I do when there's multiple times, but the median works well so I stick with that. The climb's field is then by definition average. There is no adjustment for the strength of the field.
Then I add data from week 2, Sierra Road. Now we see that some riders did both weeks. On one or the other week, using median times, these riders would score lower (it turns out they generally would score lower on Sierra Road). I then assume that on the week they score lower the average rider was stronger, and adjust the climb reference time so riders who did both, on average, score the same (using geometric means). Then each week other riders are scored relative to these repeat riders. This causes a re-evaluation of the reference time for the first week: it's no longer the median time.
Now I add week 3, and I can use all data from riders who did at least two of the climbs to rate the fields of riders relative to each other. These riders are used to re-establish reference times for the first two weeks.
And the process continues until I have added data from all seven weeks.
Here's the test results. First I plot the ratio of each week's median time to its reference time. So if this number is more than 100%, that means that the reference time will be less than the median time, and riders will score lower than with the 2011 algorithm. This adjustment is because, according to the algorithm, on average there were more slower riders and fewer faster riders on that climb. The plot shows this ratio for each climb plotted at the end of each week. After one week, there is only one point: for week 1, Montebello, and of course since that climb uses the median time it is at 100%. After two weeks there are two points: one for Montebello and one for Sierra Road. That curve is orange. Here Montebello is around 102.5% and Sierra Road is around 97.5%, so there were stronger riders at Sierra Road. Week 3 was Page Mill and that came out between the first two climbs. You can see how each week the reference time for each climb is adjusted, generally upward since as the series has continued later climbs have attracted on average stronger riders, it seems. So each week scores from Montebello, week 1, would tend to drop a bit as the algorithm assigns relatively higher scores to riders with a similar relative placing at later climbs.
This seems like it might be a problem, having things change over time. And this is true for someone who has a particular score goal, like 100 points. They may have 100.1 points after Montebello only to find that has dropped to 95.1 points later in the series. But for the standings, all that matters is how points from one climb compare to points of another. For example, if after two weeks rider A, who climbed only Montebello, scored 101 points there while rider B, who climbed only Sierra Road, scored 100 points there than rider A is ahead of rider B. After week 3 perhaps rider A's score for week 1 drops to 99 points and rider B's score drops to 98 points, but that's okay as long as the gap between the two doesn't change much.
So next I plot the ratio of a climb's reference time to the reference time for Montebello. If the two change by the same proportion this ratio doesn't change, and a comparison of riders between the two climbs won't change much. As hoped, this ratio doesn't change much as new results are added to the analysis.
The resolution of that plot is limited, so in the next plot I how much each of these ratios changes after each week of results is added. Using the example before of riders A and B, for rider A to keep his 1-point gap over rider B, we want this ratio to be stable to around 1%. From the plot you can see that none of the comparisons between any of the weeks and week 1 changes by more than 0.5%. The biggest change is between week 2 and week 3, but still these change relative to each other by barely over 1%. So scores shifting relative to each other over the course of the series doesn't seem to be a big problem. So the scoring system seems to work pretty well, at least if you don't mind scores drifting a bit together.
