Here is v3 of the latest PS3 Hack to hit the PS3 Scene with the recent release of PS3HEN. This exploit for nonCFW console's provides homebrew support and a number of Custom Firmware intangibles for those console that can not install a traditional CFW, with those being lat production PS3 Slim models and all of the SuperSlim Consoles. While this is a tremendous release and breakthrough the information behind PS3HEN has been lacking and has served more questions then answers that could be provided. This is due in the way this was delivered and presented. We paused the reporting this on the frontpage until we were pleased with the documentation. So we took it upon ourselves to get the ball rolling on a new PS3HEN F.A.Q. detailing various aspects and info that will be useful for PS3HEN user's. Also we have started forming the PS3HEN Homebrew & Plugin Compatibility Chart
Version 3.x.x has come with a number of new additions for a better experience. Some of the new changes provide full PS3ISO Support ,As well as full BDISO and DVDISO support has been added, plus new improvements to PS3HEN's stability, KW Stealth Extension Added, plus kernel plugin support (v2) to go along with bootplugin support (v1), see changelog below for a complete listing of changes in this new build.

CFW settings
Retail/DEBUG pkg installation
Unlink to Delete
Remote play with PC
Download debug pkg on retail
Remote play ignores SFO check
Cinavia protection
DVD region check (not cracking RCE)
REBUG themed RCO & XML
AIO copy
if you get error 80010017 launching homebrew that simply means HEN failure, restart console and try again!(restart is important!)
also try deleting cache, browsing data, cookies and the likes from browser, make the exploit page the home page
#define SYSCALL8_OPCODE_IS_HEN 0x1337
using this if return 0x1337 its hen
ADVANCED POKE:syscall8(0x7003, addr, value);
this allows poking any location in lv2 memory BUT you have to restore original value before exiting to another application or exiting to xmb.USE WISELY OTHERWISE PS3 SHUTS DOWN
BDMIRROR:Managunz FTW!(please use Cobra payload because by default its MULTIMAN)
NOTE:mounting dev_blind will actually mount dev_flash. change files directly from dev_flash instead or hdd0/plugins/CFW/
Kernel Mode returns 0x53434500 on success to user webkit 0x8a000000. its good to measure HEN success. right now hen is already close to or is 100%
** For All Other Options, please see Developer Tab **
If you have to ask which one you need, you DO NOT need the developer one!
thanks to everyone for reporting issues

The Secret Service just said that bullets hit the White House. One of the bullets smashed a window but was stopped by ballistic glass on the interior and another was found on the White House's exterior. Everybody seems to be safe.
Luckily, Barack Obama and Michelle Obama aren't currently in the White House, having traveled to California, Hawaii and Australia in the past few days. This White House shooting incident comes after witnesses said they heard gunshots exchanged between two speeding vehicles on Friday near the White House but the Secret Service has yet to "conclusively connect" Friday's incident with the bullets found near the White House on Tuesday. An AK-47 was also found in an abandoned car about a half a mile from the President's home (on Friday).
At the moment, there's an arrest warrant out for Oscar Ortega-Hernandez, a 21-year-old Hispanic Man, for the alleged Friday shooting. No word on any suspects for Tuesday's shooting. [NY Times, Image Credit: Kropik1/Shutterstock]

What are Looney Pyramids?
Looney Pyramids are a set of components that can be used to play all sorts of different games. These gorgeous game pieces come in three sizes that both stack and nest, and are currently available in 9 translucent colors (pink, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and clear) and 3 opaque colors (black, white, and Kickstarter green).
Traditionally, they were known as Icehouse pieces, since Icehouse was the first pyramid game, in 1986. But over the last 30 years, nearly 500 games have been designed for the Looney Pyramids (named after their inventor, Andrew Looney).

Happy Friday the 13th! Jason is over right now, he says to tell you guys, "Hi."
I get that survival horror is about being afraid, running away from an unstoppable evil. But Jason is almost too damned goofy to really work as a big-bad in a survival horror game. Maybe that's why there hasn't been a Friday the 13th game that was really all that... good.
As we sit back and watch this thrilling gameplay from the 80's NES game, let's ponder: What if there was a new Friday the 13th game with all the cinematic trappings of a cheesy 80's slasher flick... in which you played the slasher? It'd flip the whole paradigm on its head—I don't know how it would work exactly, how it would be a game and not just a really weird murder simulator. But it might be fun! You know, like Naughty Bear except not awful.
Don't you think it might be time to revisit classic 80's horror flicks with a new twist like this? Think Cabin in the Woods—you play as a ton of bad guys, maybe, and turn all sorts of horror movie cliches around in video game fashion. I'd play the heck out of that. Just saying.

The Biggest Crybabies in Basketball
List Rules Please vote for the players based only on their behavior and not ability
The biggest crybabies in basketball are the professional and college basketball players who constantly pout after a loss, bicker with the officials after a call and generally whine like a little girl when they don't get their way. These NBA and NCAA athletes are some of the best basketball players in the game today but from time to time act like spoiled little brats with their tantrums and outbursts.
Crybabies in the NBA come in several varieties, not that one type is less annoying than the other. From those who will sit on the bench with their hands over their face and bawl as their team loses, like the aptly named "Big Baby" Glen Davis of the Boston Celtics, to the NBA All-Stars who have to argue each whistle, like Mr. "I'm taking my talents to South Beach" LeBron James and Mr. "I did not sexually assault that woman" Kobe Bryant, these crybaby basketball players all show some inflated sense of entitlement with their words and their actions.
Not all of the crybaby basketball players are simply sissies crying out for no reason. Every once in a while there comes a time when it's actually reasonable for a big, tough, professional athlete to cry. Everyone remembers Michael Jordan breaking down after an emotional week in which he lost his father and won his first NBA title. A good cry is also more acceptable in other situations where a loss is painful, either emotionally or physically, such when Dwyane Wade cried after dislocating a shoulder.Just for the record, when you lose a game, crying on the court before time expires, like Adam Morrison did in college when his Gonzaga Bulldogs lost to the UCLA Bruins, falls in the uncool pile. The same goes for athletes crying at press conferences. Unless you're announcing a retirement, leave those tears at home guys. Come on basketball stars, many of you are already the top NBA players of all-time and don't even get me started on your hot NBA wives. Tell me again what you have to cry, whine and complain about?

Bottom Line Comm.: Rich Nadler Passes AwaySunday, May 31st, 2009
Nadler was the author of political biographies on Sen. Phil Gramm and commentator Pat Buchanan, and a contributor to such publications as the Wall Street Journal, New York Post, National Review, Policy Review, Insight Magazine, Education Reform News, and Human Life Review. In 2006, he co-edited the Daily Dispatch, a military blog reporting every weekday on the war in Iraq.
"Rich was always passionate about a side he took in any debate and well-prepared," noted Kris Ketz, morning anchor on KMBC-TV9. "He was a good guy on and and off the set. Sad"
Nadler was the assistant B'al Koreh (Torah reader) at the Torah Learning Center of Overland Park, Kansas.
"Rich Nadler was a visionary always on the cutting edge of any subject he tackled. His knowledge was encyclopedic with an unsurpassed brilliance for extracting the last ounce of meaning from his carefully researched data.
"If there is a stereotype of the traditional Talmudic scholar, Rich epitomized its finest elements. I will miss him greatly." — John Altevogt

Early yesterday morning I headed out to the Afton State Park. We had planned to meet and run at 8 AM; no distance was set. Run and visit afterward. Duke was bringing french toast to prepare on the wood stove inside the Afton Visitor Center.
As I arrived Afton it began to rain, by the time I climbed out of my car there was thunder and lightening.
Alicia, Jefferey, Duke, Eve, John and I were going to run. As I pulled on my vest and grabbed my bottles I stated that 3-4 hours on the trail sounded good to me. Alicia twisted her ankle last week so wasn't going to go that long. Duke, Eve and John would probably run 3 and Jeff was up for whatever.
We took off down the trail. Jeff, Alicia and I left before Duke, Eve and John. We knew they would catch up and pass us soon, they are the speedsters of the group. Sure enough, as we were WALKING down the trail we heard the three speeders catch us.
As we were all running down a trail, I went into the woods to pee. As I was off the trail Alicia again twisted her ankle. I didn't realize this. After Duke checked in with her and learned she was going to walk back to the center, he took off after the others down the hill. I came out from the woods and didn't see a soul. I hadn't been paying attention to where we were as I was letting the group lead me. As I ran down the hill I yelled for Jeff. After a few minutes I heard yelling back to me. They had stopped for me so I could catch up.
Eventually John, Duke and Eve pulled ahead. Jeff told me 'we could run with them' (really, we couldn't, it was a joke) 'yeah, but let's choose not to' I said. I and Jeff ran along through the woods of Afton for two hours, then I told him I was ready to be done at any time. I felt tired! Jeff led the way through a few crazy heavily wooded deer trails where I became full of pickers, but it was great fun! I had no idea where we were. I was totally discombobulated and lost. Eventually, we popped out of the woods right onto an asphalt trail in back of the visitor center, where Alicia had began a warm fire. We ran 2:30.
Alicia's ankle had a huge knob on it. She is still going to run Twin Cities Marathon next Sunday. I hope it is OK. Duke, John and Eve arrived half an hour later. This is good: Duke and John arrived before Eve. I asked where Eve was and Duke said she had to run 3 hours exactly. She didn't want to have less than 3 hours. He said she would be running around in the parking lot if she didn't get her 3 in. I love it! We are all a bit OCD! Sure enough, soon Eve arrived.
Duke prepared french toast with thick Texas Toast bread and rice milk with Cinnamon. It smelled pretty good!
It was great fun to be back with my friends at Afton. Most of the summer I was spending a day a week at Buck Hill doing the repeats so I didn't make many runs at Afton. I sure missed it! I'm looking forward to running out there more often during the fall/winter.
Today it is still raining. Topaz and I headed out for 2 hours on the trail. We heard quite a few gun shots. Duck hunting opened and grouse hunting is going on too. Guess I better pull out Topaz's' orange.
Tyler has two baseball games today. I don't enjoy sitting in the rain, watching baseball, hopefully it let's up. Yeah, running in the rain is just fine..but sitting, ah, not so much.
Tyler wants to try Chipotle after his game. We've never eaten there. Guess I'll have to search for the nutrition calculator online.
Twin Cities Marathon is next Sunday. I don't really have a plan or goal. Just run and enjoy I guess :)

Apple stock crossed the $500-per-share threshold Monday morning, as seen on CNBC.com.
The company is, at $500/share, worth $460,000,000,000. Speculation for an iTV launch may be helping the surge. That market value is, according to CNBC, $8 billion more than Google and Microsoft combined.
The day's high, as of 7:20 a.m., was $503.83. The 52-week low, for the record, is $310.50, with a 1-year improvement in price of $40.18. That's more than 20 percent in a year.
U.S. & World
According to Standard & Poor's, ExxonMobil was the most recent company to top $500 billion valuation, back when oil prices were at record highs.

I loved working with Vijay to custom make my sapphire and diamond in and out hoops. I was able to review and select my own stones The hoops are the perfect size (almost 2 inch diameter) yet not heavy and have a very secure closure. Vijay knew these earrings were for my birthday and had them completed and shipped 2 days before my birthday... 2 days sooner than I expected them. I'm proud to add these hoops to my collection, they are stunning! Will definitely work with Vijay in the future
I bought jewelry for my wife's birthday. Trijewels were fantastic. I enjoyed dealing with Vijay. He was very helpful and offered very competitive prices. He also went out of his way to make sure it was delivered on time.
From the beginning processes of ordering this ring I had very fluent communication with my personal jeweler Vijay! Very friendly and informative and went above and beyond for me especially with the timeframe that I requested the ring to be sent out for my proposal deadline. I offered to pay extra on the side for expedition of the ring and he told me that he would take care of everything, not to worry, and he'll have it out to me before the months time I requested. The ring was done in less than two weeks and sent out, I received it in two days time after it was finished. A beautiful one of a kind ring as you can see that I knew was the one, just like my wife to be when I first saw it, and Vijay at TriJewels brought it to life from the picture designs. He went as far as to give me his personal number so that I could reach him anytime during the process if I needed to inquire about the ring. Even checked in on me from time to time to keep me in the know of the steps he was taking with my ring. Always assuring. Honestly I was resistive in getting my engagement ring online, at the time I would've preferred to have bought the ring in store for customer service purposes and a more hands on experience. But due to the pandemic every jeweler in store was shut down so online purchasing was the only choice. Vijay made this distant purchase feel more personal and One on One than I honestly believe an in store representative at a top jeweler could've given me. I honestly felt as though I was his top customer being given the upmost acknowledgment and attention although I'm sure he's a busy man with other clients to tend to. But you just don't get that feel. This company needs more recognition nationwide so everyone in need of FINE unique jewellery for that special someone, or those special moments can receive this true ONE OF A KIND service from TriJewels and more specifically from Mr. Vijay. Thankyou! And I will be referring, and requesting future service from this company in the future. Do not mistake this "e"Jeweler for anything less, they're as personal as it gets.
Can't say enough good things about Vijay and Trijewels. The piece they made for me was/is stunning. The personal involvement provided me with a lot of confidence and they didn't disappoint. Buying jewelry online can be difficult, but not when you buy from Trijewels, they create masterpieces.
Initially i was skeptical buying fine jewelry online but after communicating with trijewels i was rest assured.Great company to deal with and the product is amazing.

June 5 (Bloomberg) -- Monsanto Co., the world's largest seed company, may face more complaints from farmers even as tests so far haven't shown unapproved gene-altered wheat anywhere beyond an Oregon farm where it was found.
The company was sued in federal court in Wichita by a Kansas farmer who accused it of negligently releasing genetically altered wheat seed in the U.S. and damaging the market for his crop. The lawsuit filed June 3 by Ernest Barnes of Morton County, Kansas, may be the first of many against St. Louis-based Monsanto alleging contamination, his lawyers said in a statement.
"Monsanto has failed our nation's wheat farmers," Stephen Sussman, a lawyer for Barnes with Houston-based Sussman Godfrey LLP, said in the statement. "Monsanto knew of the risks its genetically altered wheat posed and failed to protect farmers and their crops from those risks."
The discovery of the altered wheat in Oregon, nine years after Monsanto ended an effort to have the wheat approved for commercial sale, prompted Japan to halt imports of western-white and feed wheat. South Korean millers have suspended purchases of U.S. white wheat, and the Taiwan Flour Mills Association said it wants the U.S. to label cargoes by state of origin.
The European Union, which competes with the U.S. for exports, said Monsanto provided a method to detect the rogue strain of genetically modified wheat. The company also has provided the test to regulators in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
Tests Negative
Tests of U.S. wheat imported by Japan, South Korea and the European Union have found no evidence of the unapproved gene- altered strain discovered in Oregon in April, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said yesterday. Wheat futures, which entered a bear market in January because of rising global supplies, have risen since the May 29 announcement of the Oregon contamination, closing at $7.09 a bushel yesterday in Chicago.
Information about the Oregon case appears to point toward an isolated situation, according to Val Giddings, a senior fellow at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation in Washington. Still, if the wheat is found in more than one or two other locations, it could lead to significant trade disruptions, Giddings said in an e-mail. "If it is not, the present disruptions will wane fairly quickly. We are all waiting on more data."
Any estimate of any possible liability Monsanto may face is highly speculative, said Mark Gulley, a New-York based analyst at BGC Partners LP who recommends buying Monsanto shares.
Scratching Head
"Based on the facts in front of us today, it would seem the issue is difficult to quantify," he said in a phone interview. "You really start to scratch your head as to how that GMO wheat grew on that farm."
Past instances of genetic contamination have cost U.S. companies and farmers. The 2000 release of Aventis SA's StarLink corn cost as much as $288 million in lost revenue and a yearlong drop in the grain's price, according to a 2008 report by the Government Accountability Office. The 2006 release of Bayer AG's Liberty Link rice cost as much as $1.29 billion in lost exports, food recalls and other expenses, the GAO said, citing an environmental advocacy group.
Bayer in 2011 agreed to pay $750 million to about 11,000 U.S. rice farmers who sued the company.
Barnes, who accused Monsanto in his lawsuit of negligence, gross negligence and creating a nuisance, is seeking at least $100,000.
Exclusive Control
The genetically engineered grain "has always been in the exclusive control, or should have been in the exclusive control, of Monsanto and its agents," according to the complaint.
While some of that wheat was tested in Kansas, the company never disclosed that information to the state's wheat farmers, Barnes said in his complaint.
Genetically-modified wheat seed can't be completely removed from farming equipment and facilities, according to Barnes' complaint, which asserts his damages aren't limited to loss of market revenue.
"Plaintiffs are taking a wild swing that's unlikely to connect," Monsanto said yesterday in an e-mailed statement responding to Barnes' allegations.
"Tractor-chasing lawyers have prematurely filed suit without any evidence of fault and in advance of the crop's harvest," David Snively, Monsanto's general counsel, said in that statement. The program for "closing out" the wheat development plan was "rigorous, well-documented and audited," according to the statement. The company said it will fight the farmer's claims.
Field Test
The USDA, in a May 29 statement, said Monsanto had been authorized to field-test the genetically modified seed, altered to resist the company's Roundup herbicide, in 16 states from 1998 to 2005.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, in a 2004 "voluntary consultation," determined the engineered wheat was as safe as unmodified varieties on the market, the USDA said in last week's statement. Still, it hasn't approved any genetically altered wheat for commercial production or sale in the U.S. or elsewhere. The FDA, along with the Environmental Protection Agency, also participate in approving genetically modified plants.
The case is Barnes v. Monsanto Co., 13-cv-01218, U.S. District Court, District of Kansas (Wichita).

Softball Continuing to Give Back to the Community
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee State softball program took part in the Martin Luther King Day of service on Monday. The team helped in the painting of the hallways at McKissack Middle School. The day is a part of a series of community service events the softball team has been a part of this year.
"Being a part of this community is important," said head coach Jeff Dabney. "Doing things in this community is huge for our program and it is important to me. It has never been my thing to promote it, I just like to do things in the community."
In October, the team participated in the Walk to Defeat ALS at Centennial Park. It is the largest annual event for the Tennessee Chapter ALS Association.
"This is the second year we have been involved in the ALS Walk," Dabney stated. "It was brought to our attention because it affects one of our family members. Two of our players have had a family member who has passed due to ALS. Obviously it affects someone within our program, so it is important to me."
The team began the fall with a cookout and play day with Big Brothers and Big Sisters. The Tigers helped with team and individual games, face painting, field events, the barbecue and spending time with the kids.
"I am not sure if the kids enjoyed it more than our team did," Dabney said. "We definitely made a connection with Big Brothers and Big Sisters. We are trying to do an event during one of our games on campus where we host them."
Coach Dabney and the Tigers are continuing to make an impact in the community.
"Our kids want to do things to help others and be a part of Nashville, TSU and the surrounding communities," Dabney commented. "It is important for our kids to know it is about helping others."

NIDA's got a lot of company on Twitter: from Ashton Kutcher to Oprah and Selena Gomez to organizations like the White House, the NFL and TMZ. They're all tweeting these days. You can access Twitter online or on your mobile phone.
So… Do you tweet? Would you ever?
Find us on Twitter: www.twitter.com/NIDAnews.
Thanks for sharing Such a nice information with us.I really like your Information Which you have provided.
Very interesting, I'm reading NIDA blogs past 2 months. There were more informative posts and i had twitted all the post. so.. thanks to sharing.
Yes, not only Twitting and Texting but we are doing more and more through the use of the Internet such as paying bills, shopping for cars and whatever else. Now tweeting has become so popular that they even provide a way to tweet (just like texting) via your mobile phone. I guess the choice would be whichever one is most convenient.
It is a very good question. Twitter has become an important tool among social media. Both commercial business and non-profit organization will benefit greatly by tweeting. It is quick and easy way of interacting with the customers and creating followers.
Seems like just about everyone "tweets" these days. I still haven't got the swing of it yet. Thanks for the info here though.
I just came across this blog and I really enjoyed what I read. As a fitness and health enthusiast, I am always interested in learning about fitness and am happy to see someone bringing the truth to kids about the dangers of drugs for whatever purpose whether it's an attempt to build muscle or caffeine for "energy." Thank you for making this information available.
By the way, I do tweet. And when it comes to getting information as important as what this is out to the public and younger generation, you have to go where your target audience is...Twitter is definitely one of those places.
maybe thats isn't a right article to write about meow... but i am wondering about it's addiction, how quick you can get addicted, how do you look after several years of using it and i really wanna to read some real stories if there is some... looking forward for your reply.
@kittie Glad you're here to find out more about drugs and addiction. You've come to the right place-the NIDA teen website https://teens.drugabuse.gov/ has "facts on drugs, FAQs answered by our Director, as well as "real stories." So, take a look around and let us know if there are other topics you'd like Sara Bellum to tackle in the future.
thank you. :)
Such interesting read and information, thanks for sharing this post

Hi Sarah,
I love your blog with all the great info for teens on living healthy and addictions. I enjoy reading it and will share it with my patients! I have just recently started 'tweeting' as a physician who focuses on women's health and problems such as sleep, stress, fitness and nutrition and I think it's a great way to connect to the younger generation and give helpful bite-sized tips that they can use right away to get healthier and happier:)
Best Wishes in Health,
Dr. Dani, MD, Family Physician, Holistic Medicine Specialist and Health Coach

Good afternoon to you all.
I have begun this lark of smallholding as an alternative to what I used to do before (Education) and have an interest in rare breed poultry and generally growing food and fuel.
I have learned many new skills and am generally happy with the life.
Very much into dogs as well and have 2 at the moment with a third possible coming soon.
I am on heavy clay and the past 2 years have been interesting to say the least but it keeps me fit and healthy.
If you have any questions about me or what I am doing please contact me.
All the best and good luck.

Hello and welcome
I'm in south-ish Lincs, near Sleaford, but my family way back (long way) came from North Lincs so I mean to visit and explore sometime. Whereabouts are you?
We have garden rather than smallholding, but are growing our own veg and fruit and will get chickens soon. So if you have any suggestions for places in Lincs to get good quality pure breed chickens, I'd love to hear them!
We are lucky enough to have loam down here, but are using some extra space on friends' land in next village and that is heavy clay. New experience for us too! Our allotments in Manchester, before we moved here, were on sandy soil - very light, quite a contrast.

I'm up in Ealand -right in the middle of the wind turbine triangle (60+ and rising within 4 miles) We have a large garden too.
There used to be a couple in Crowle who had all sorts of rare breeds -poultry, pigs including mangalitzas, cattle and sheep but last time I went over there everything was gone.
I know Tracy was trying to get permission for a static caravan but the council wouldn't give it. Had it been a livery stable they'd have got it no problem. I'm wondering if they found somewhere where they
live on the land. It's a shame because they are lovely people who had excellent stock and were only too happy to give help and advice.

The Issue of Euthanasia
Euthanasia is when those suffering from pain diseases wish to die on their own or perhaps with the assistance of a doctor. Thus, sometimes it is called assisted suicide. Very often in recent this has been called dying with dignity. For example an individual who has suffered immensely and who knows there is little or no possibility of recovery wish to die. For the medical community this issue brings up tough ethical problems. Does a person have the right to choose death as an option? Euthanasia also raises the idea of whether or not a doctor should participate in such a practice. These are very difficult issues to face, but ones that must be confronted when dealing with euthanasia.
A person must first realize that euthanasia is a subject that is not easily defined. The origin of the word euthanasia comes from ancient Greek meaning good death. The following shows us that there are three categories to which euthanasia can be classified. "(1) by an affirmative act designed to bring about death, such as the injection of air into a person's veins; (2) by refusing to commence or continue further medical treatment required to maintain life; (3) by refusing to commence or continue further, 'heroic' or 'extraordinary' measures, such as the use of a heart-lung machine following a massive stroke." The first two definitions are commonly referred to as euthanasia by action and euthanasia by omission. However, euthanasia can also be voluntary where an individual chooses death. Euthanasia is not a black and white issue and the ethical concerns are even more complicated. As euthanasia has become more apparent the medical community has had to adjust its understanding. On the surface, euthanasia is a conflict to any physician. A doctor is to prolong life not to end it.
"For doctors, this dilemma challenges the Hippocratic Oath which commits them to increasingly incompatible duties-to preserve life and relive suffering. This conflict of conscience is steadily magnified by the swelling numbers of elderly people. In these circumstances, many people fear the prospect of senility far more than they fear death."
Yet however the argument could be made that a physician is in fact helping another person by assisting in their death. They are relieving the pain of the suffering person. Perhaps this willingness to remedy pain by any means possible is too apparent in this day and age. When studying the topic of euthanasia one needs to wonder whether or not people are seeking a short answer for a long on going problem. Thus, the medical community needs to look for further cures, and likewise people should be willing to see a problem through. Naturally such a topic has induced controversy from a religious perspective as well. Christian people see a basic good value in human life and wish to do anything that will preserve life. "Christianity affirms what mankind has said about the inherent value and dignity of human life. It affirms man's basic unity and his living-in-this-world for God and for others, although he has a destiny beyond this world." The previous statement is one that expresses a Roman Catholic opinion. Yet the same thought is common to all Christians. A very similar opinion is expressed by the Orthodox Church. "The Church accompanies its faithful from even before birth, through all the steps of life to death and beyond, with its prayers, rites, sacraments, preaching, teaching, and its love, faith and hope. All of life, and even death itself, are drawn into the realm of the life of the Church. Death is seen as evil in itself, and symbolic of all those forces which oppose God-given life and its fulfillment. The Orthodox Church has a very strong pro-life stand which in part expresses itself in opposition to doctrinaire advocacy of euthanasia." The Orthodox Church understands life as a gift from God and that this gift must be valued. There are many reasons to which traditional Christianity teaches opposition to euthanasia. Euthanasia is act of killing because it seeks to end life. "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood be shed for God made man in his image." (Genesis 9:6). This means that life is good and that we should not try to end it from any amount of pain. From the position of those who favor euthanasia the practice is understood as a means of removing pain. If pain and suffering are understood as being bad then euthanasia must be good. "Pain, suffering, and evil in general, thus all reveal a certain lack of being, a certain negativity which threatens man's being-in-the-world. It forces man to consider himself, to reflect on his mode of being in this world and to contemplate the sorrow of his contingency." To use the modern terminology, this is referring to quality of life. Supporters of euthanasia feel that if their quality of life is infringed upon they have the right to end their life and to die as they choose. The advances in medical technology also play an interesting part in the drama of euthanasia. The greater that the modern advances are becoming the greater opportunity there is to prolong life. "Not long ago, when the point of death was reached, there was usually nothing that could be done about it. Now, due to the marvels of medicine, all kinds of things can help keep people 'alive' long after what used to be the final crisis. For example there is a cardiac 'pacemaker' a machine that can restart a heart that a stopped beating." This brings the issue to the forefront of whether or not is right to prolong a life simply by medical advancements. The opposition that is put forth to this argument is as follows; should not we allow a person to die when it is their time and not to prolong their life extensively? Subsequently, is a physician murdering in the strictest sense if he was to withhold the treatment? "The religious person's concern that ending one's life is playing God may seem to be predicated on the indefensible assumption that respecting the natural ordering of events is respecting the divine ordering of events. According to this view, letting nature have its way is interpreted as letting God have his way." This is rather difficult as one can see. From the definition of the church's teaching it is murder. The doctor had a method of treatment available and did not administer it instead allows the patient to die. Life is extremely important and we must exhaust every possible alternative in order to prolong an individual's life. In 1994 the state of Oregon passed a law making euthanasia legal. According to this law if an individual has been diagnosed with a terminal condition, have the option to request a prescription of a lethal injection. The doctor is legally freed from any liability. In October 2005 the law went before the U.S. Supreme Court. However on January 17, 2006 the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the decision from the state of Oregon in a 6 to 3 vote. Legalizing euthanasia is something that represents people with a new era in the medical world. Besides Oregon euthanasia is legal as a practice in Holland and Belgium. A living will is contract made while a person is still living. It is a document that verifies the intentions of the person in the event of debilitating injury or illness. It is usually accompanied by a power of attorney. A power of attorney is a contract in which someone is selected to make life and death decisions should the person be unable to. More often people delegate the responsibility to a family member. In 2005, the case of Terri Schiavo made headlines. This was the case of a woman who suffered brain damage and was since 1990 was in a lifeless state. Her husband had been petitioning courts to allow him to remove her feeding tube. Finally, in March of 2005, the court sided in his favor, she died shortly after. There is also the infamous Dr. Jack Kevorkian who has assisted many patients die. Kevorkian has in an eight year period of time helped over one hundred people to die by administering Very often the person was connected up to a machine that had canister of carbon monoxide. Kevorkian also is known to have injected lethal drugs as well. Both of these particular cases, of Terri Schiavo and Dr. Kevorkian were highly controversial subjects. The case of Terri Schiavo forced to people to consider the rights of the patient. While, Dr. Kevorkian made many examine whether or not a physician has the right to aid in a person suicide. Another critical case that concerned euthanasia was that of Paul Brophy in 1986. Brophy was a 49 year old man from Massachusetts who suffered a aneurysm that later produced a brain hemorrhage. As a result, he was left in a vegetative state. "His wife, Patricia, remembered that her husband had told her ten years before… 'I don't ever want to be on a life-support system. No way do I want to live like that; that is not living.' Although he did not talk specifically about whether a feeding tube should be removed, Brophy's brothers, sisters, and adult children confirmed that he would not have wished to be kept alive by a tube." His wife continued to argue in favor of the feeding tube being removed, which caused the case to be brought to court. The state had felt that her husband was not terminally ill that Mr. Brophy had a chance at surviving. It was on September 11, 1986 that the Massachusetts State Supreme Court ruled in her favor. However, the ruling had complications to it and Paul Brophy needed to be transferred to another facility. Eight days after being transferred he died. This particular case brings an important question to the discussion, does the removal of the feeding tube constitute a refusal of medical treatment? The ruling authorities in many states would answer this question as a yes. Despite all that has been done, there needs to be further clarification on euthanasia on a legal level. Regardless of legal ruling on this issue there will be not significant change from a religious perspective. Christian people, in particular Eastern Orthodox Christians firmly support the maintaining of human life. Perhaps, if there was a formal statement from the federal government on euthanasia it would motivate the church authority to take a form position. In conclusion, there are many issues which surround euthanasia. There are two forms to which an act of euthanasia can take, it can be either active or by omission. Active euthanasia refers to a procedure that will initiate death, while euthanasia by omission refers to something such as refusing medical treatment until the patient dies. When a person examines the idea of euthanasia, it appears as though it should be a contradiction to a physician. A doctor, ideally is sworn to do anything possible to help maintain and preserve life. Yet through changes in the law the medical community is becoming more receptive to euthanasia. Euthanasia is setting many legal precedents as well. The state of Oregon passed a law in 1994 making euthanasia legal. This law prescribed that if a person was diagnosed with a deadly condition then a doctor could give a lethal injection. This law caused an immense amount of controversy that it went all the way to the United States Supreme Court. The court would end up ruling in favor of the law in January of 2006. There have been major cases which, brought euthanasia to national attention. The first of these is the person of Dr. Jack Kevorkian. During the 1990's Dr. Kevorkian help many suffering people end their life. Other major incidents such as that of Terri Schiavo and Paul Brophy were ones where the patients died having the feeding tube removed. Euthanasia is wrong from the Orthodox Christian ethical perspective. According to the teachings of the Orthodox Church, life must be preserved because it is something that has been given by God. Similarly, human life should be always treated with respect for humanity was made in the image and likeness of God. These are ideas that are often forgotten as people wish to remove their suffering in the most extreme manner.

Dear Abby
DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, "Richard," and I are a mature couple who have been seeing each other for three years. I love him. My dog is the issue.
"Princess" is a 2-year-old rat terrier/mini-pinscher mix. She weighs 9 pounds and is spoiled. (I admit I'm a softy when it comes to discipline.) She barks at anyone and anything she sees. Her barks are shrill and can be annoying. But I live alone and feel she is protecting me.
Richard can no longer tolerate Princess' barking and has curbed his visits considerably. Except for this issue, he is my dream guy, and I feel lucky to have found him. I was married for more than 20 years to a controlling man, and I had to defer or compromise on everything. I will not compromise on this. I feel Richard should understand my attachment to Princess, especially when he's not around.
I miss him. Our dates are now only occasional. He thinks I prefer the dog over him, and that's not the case. Am I being selfish? Why can't I have them both? Is there a future for us, or have we reached an impasse? -- WON'T GIVE UP THE PUP, LAFAYETTE, LA.
DEAR WON'T GIVE UP: Loving one's dog is not being selfish. You COULD have them both if you would contact a dog trainer and start giving Princess a doggy education that includes boundaries. Incessant barking should not be allowed.
Perhaps once Richard sees that Princess no longer regards him as a hostile intruder, he will feel more welcome. But that could take some work on the part of all three of you, if he's still willing.
DEAR ABBY: My grandpa remarried when I was a child. He and Grandma "Ella" each have five children. She is a wonderful woman.
When the holidays roll around, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas, my grandparents always host at their home. They spend all day fixing up the house and preparing the food. When it's time to eat, Grandma Ella's children think they should be first in the line. If someone else tries (some of us on my grandfather's side of the family have small children), they grumble and complain.
When the dinner is over, it's always my mom, one of my two aunts and me doing the dishes and cleaning up. Grandma Ella's family never help. They just stroll back into the living room and watch TV or leave to go somewhere else. It would be nice to get some help once in a while so Mom, my aunts and I could also relax after the meal. Just leaving the mess is not an option. We tried it once, and Grandma and Grandpa ended up doing it. Any advice? -- STRESSED IN ADVANCE IN IOWA
DEAR STRESSED: Gladly! This Thanksgiving when everyone arrives, Grandma and Grandpa should cheerfully inform the happy revelers that small children will be fed first, regardless of whose side of the family they come from. At the same time, each of the adults should be ASSIGNED a cleanup chore so one side of the family isn't stuck with the entire burden. Unless your grandparents assert themselves, nothing will change, so please suggest this to them in advance.

Drinking Water Source & Water Quality
Edmonds purchases your drinking water from the Alderwood Water District. Alderwood Water District purchases their water from the City of Everett. The water comes from Spada Reservoir, located at the headwaters of the Sultan River about 30 miles east of Everett. The Spada Reservoir, created in 1964 in partnership with the Snohomish County PUD, holds about 50 billion gallons of water.
From Spada Reservoir, the water travels through a pipeline to the City of Everett Treatment facility at the Chaplain Reservoir. Chaplain Reservoir is about 8 miles downstream from Spada Reservoir and holds about 4.5 billion gallons of water.
Spada Reservoir is in the Sultan Basin Watershed. A watershed is a geographic area where all precipitation drains into a single body of water. In the Sultan Basin Watershed, rain and snow melt from the Cascade Mountains flow into Spada Reservoir. The Sultan Basin Watershed covers an area of about 84 square miles and is one of the wettest watersheds on the west side of the Cascade Mountains. The average rainfall is about 165 inches, or 5 times our local rainfall. To protect the naturally pristine water in Spada Reservoir, water quality in the Sultan Basin is carefully monitored.
