Saturday - 4:00 pm-6:30 pm
Presiding: Randal Cummings, Cal State University, Northridge
This session/round-table discussion addresses the role of the scholar's own political commitments in his or her study of religious communities. Must such commitments be "bracketed"? Should they be? How does the study of certain religious communities (e.g., indigenous or minority religious communities that have faced oppression or even genocide) lead scholars to positions of political advocacy? Is this an appropriate or even desired outcome of scholarship?

Brigham Young University and Friends Reception
Saturday - 7:00 pm-8:30 pm
Description Group
Saturday - 7:00 pm-8:30 pm
The Description project's purpose is to develop a form of Christian theology in which proper attention is paid both to dogmatics and to ethnography. It seeks to find an appropriate balance between (1) identifying the dogmatic commitments that are part of any description of religious life, however factual it may aim to be and (2) requiring proper ethnographic study to confirm or challenge any claims made in systematic theology about the church or other objects. We wish to overcome a dualism between theology whose descriptions of the world proceed 'like a hot knife through butter' and those which struggle to formulate generalisations from particulars. There will be five very brief position papers, followed by discussion. The discussions will be introduced by British theologians Nick Adams (Edinburgh), Ben Quash (Cambridge), Tim Jenkins (Cambridge), Mike Higton (Exeter) and Susannah Ticciati (London). All are welcome to this interdisciplinary session. For further information, including abstracts of the short papers, please contact email@example.com after 30 August 2005.

Tranquil and secluded location, close to local amenities, beaches and towns Our home is a renovated farmhouse nestled in the beautiful unspoilt Valley of the Piomba, in the heart of Abruzzo. A fantastic house with a pool in a stunning location with amazing scenery, located in what we think is nowadays the best part of Italy. Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and cherry orchards, it feels a million miles away from civilisation, peaceful, quiet and relaxing, with stunning views all around.Parts of the building date back at least 300 years, with the oldest parts constructed from local stone and hand made bricks. The whole has been rebuilt or fully refurbished to a very high standard.There are two large ground floor, self-catering apartments, this one ' The Arches' and 'Casa di Pietre' - 85250. Both are fully furnished and equiped to a high standard, each with 1 double bedroom and 1 twin bedroom (this can also be set as a double or tripple bedded room on request), lounges, kitchens, dining rooms, bathroom and private terraces and all the facilities a family needs to enjoy a relaxing stay, whether it's for a couple of nights, a week or two or even longer.For stays of 3 nights or more, included in the price we offer a welcome pack of basic provisions, certainly enough to get you through breakfast on your first morning. In addition ( for stays of 3 nights or more), we also provide a welcome supper meal on your day of arrival to give your designated cook time to get their bearings before having to shop or cook. There is a five meter diameter swimming pool, ideal for a splash about and at only 1.2meters depth safe for all the family's supervised bathing. There is ample parking. An on site wood fired Pizza oven and Barbeque. Pool side changing and toilet facilities. There are gardens to hide in and the surrounding countryside is a haven for a casual stroll or serious walkers. Where are we? Just to the north east of Citta S.Angelo a pretty, ancient town about 10 miles to the north of Pescara. The fabulous sandy beaches of the Adriatic coast at Silvi Marina and Pineto are 4 miles away, just 10-15 minutes from the house. The shallow, warm waters of the Adriatic are ideal for safe family bathing.The locals are friendly and outgoing, the food and wine are fantastic with plenty of good restaurants nearby. Loads to do and see, Snow capped mountains, vineyards, olive groves and beaches that stretch for miles, bustling markets, quaint hilltop towns and villages, historic sites, and if you ever need 'civilization' Pescara has all you could ever need!
This is the exact location
Outside this Self catering farm house in Citta Sant' Angelo, Italy

Recipe: Harvest Penne Pasta Skillet Dinner and the Importance of Family Dinners
Thursday, January 12th, 2012While the average meal lasts just a mere 20 minute, it's clear from the research that spending that time with your children can benefit them significantly. Sharing meals as a family has the potential to reduce your child's risk of developing a substance abuse problem, an eating disorder, and because it has the potential to improve your child's nutritional habits, he/she may not have to deal with obesity.
So if there are proven benefits to spending mealtime together, why are so many families skipping it? Some don't make time for it, choosing other tasks or distractions. Others have over scheduled themselves and their families so that time is tight. Still, making time has so many positive benefits that perhaps it's time to work towards the goal of eating together as many nights a week as possible.
To be successful, you need to eliminate the outside influences – turn off the TV. Make having conversations the focus and not the bit that happens during commercials. Share your day and ask them to do the same. Ask what good things happened and what bad things happened – you'll learn a lot from your children just by chatting about what's been going on in their world.
Let kids help with meal planning and allow them to choose at least one meal a week. Give them age-appropriate tasks like setting or clearing the table, chopping vegetables, etc. Have them help you make a grocery list or check out the sales in Sunday's paper to plan meals for the week.
Here's a simple and easy meal from The Pampered Chef which comes in at a mere $2 per serving. This nutritional but inexpensive meal is a great replacement for the high fat and high sugar fast food meals many families are choosing. Good nutrition goes a long way toward healthier and happier children.
Need more family-friendly and budget-conscious recipes that come in at a cool $2ish a serving? Visit www.pamperedchef.com. (more…)

In a controversial move that some believe could change how the game is played, NFL owners at their annual meeting in Phoenix passed a rule Wednesday that will make it illegal for ball carriers or tacklers to lead or initiate contact with the crown of their helmet.
The controversial Tuck Rule was eliminated by a vote of 29-1-2 with Pittsburgh voting against it while Washington and New England abstained.
Six rules were up for consideration this year. Two safety-oriented rules were passed Tuesday, leaving four still on the table.
The owners wrapped up their meeting Wednesday with a change to an instant-replay rule, known as the "Jim Schwartz Rule," to allow automatic reviews to proceed whether or not a coach throws a red challenge flag.
St. Louis Rams coach and Competition Committee member Jeff Fisher said the votes were "overwhelming" to pass the crown-of-the-helmet rule and rescind the Tuck Rule, which will now live in infamy as the call that allowed the New England Patriots to defeat the Oakland Raiders in a playoff game during the 2001 season.
According to NFL Network, the crown-of-helmet rule had only one abstention, by the Cincinnati Bengals.
The reason for the Patriots' position is obvious. Redskins general manager Bruce Allen was in a similar position with the Raiders in 2001, which explains that vote.
Running backs are highly critical of the crown-of-the-helmet rule, which they believe will prevent them from protecting themselves at the point of contact.
"That is a ridiculous rule," Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith said. "It will leave runners vulnerable to injury. Maybe we will need an asterisk for all running stats starting in 2013. It will change how backs run or there will be a lot of penalties."
"This just gives the tacklers, the defenders, a huge advantage and puts the runner at risk," former Rams running back Marshal Faulk said.

Seafood abounds at Truluck's Seafood, Steak & Crabhouse for Houston Restaurant Weeks
Houston-area residents are responding well to the Houston Restaurant Weeks menu offered by Truluck's Seafood, Steak & Crabhouse. Chef Danny Kievit and managing partner Dave Mattern, show food radio talk show host Cleverley Stone how to make one of their signature dishes: Cioppino: a feast of seven fishes with fresh fish, shrimp, mussels, calamari and blue crab, simmered in a tomato and herb broth.
Truluck's Seafood, Steak & Crabhouse offers a three-course dinner for $35 per person during Houston Restaurant Weeks. This represents a terrific dining value.

By PAtrick

Ver short cartridge life, well over price for the quantity.
Wll buy again
By mish
from east greenwich, RI
We print a significant amount daily. The cartridges LAST about 3 weeks. This means buying a 75$ cartridge every three weeks. It gets pricey but the Hp printer is a gem. it is reliable and clear printing so I am willing to make the payment for a reliable printer.
"Too much whiz and not enough bang"
By Linda a Notary
from Long Beach, CA
I am a very heavy user of this ink cartridge on a HP Laserjet M1552nf copier. I try to track the number of pages the cartridge prints for cost effectiveness and fees charged for my services. The cartridge does not seem to yeild the number of pages I expect. If I shake the cartridge when partial light print areas start to appear on paper, I can seem to get more life from the cartridge. However, this means printing less than 8 pages at a time to keep check on the quality and evenness of the print on the paper before I have to shake the cartridge again.

Like Insidious? Try These Haunting Stories!
In the long list of sub-genres that define the HORROR MOVIE, the ghost movie and the haunted house movie are decidedly different and very much alike. You can certainly have one without the other; but, most of the time, you're treated with both. There are examples of one over the other. In classic literature, Dickens' A Christmas Carol has its share of ghosts but there's no real haunted house....

Los Angeles, Calif (PRWEB) February 21, 2013
With a fast growing fan base - soon to be music star, Griffith Clawson, will be performing at Sonoma Wine Garden in Santa Monica on Tuesday Feb. 26, 2013 at 6:00pm.
A true "raw talent" musician, 16-year old singer/songwriter Griffith Clawson is quickly attracting the ears and attention of fans across Pacific Coast Highway. As a California native, Griffith performs regularly at some of the most popular locations in Los Angeles and Orange County. With over 159,000 views on YouTube, some of Griffith's hits – such as "One More Smile" "Apart" and most recent, "She Was Mine" have reached over 20,000 views each. Griffith's smooth voice and meaningful lyrics make him a star bound for worldwide success.
"Understanding the music business is a process that keeps unfolding for me. Early on, I thought it was simple; I'd just do what I love, create from inside and it would all just fall into place. Now I understand that there are steps that need to be taken and milestones that I need to hit which will become a part of the story of how I got to wherever I am going," says Griffith. "I want to know that people feel a sincere connection with my music. I want to play to audiences that know the lyrics and are moved because they think I am somehow telling their story. That is something that truly makes me feel good and keeps me wanting to create."
Still a young musician, Griffith continues to grow with every performance he does. Be sure to check him out at Sonoma Wine Garden on Feb. 26, 2013 and keep up with where he is on his Facebook and Twitter pages.
