All Marlboro Schools Will Have Armed Officers By January
Funding and further security decisions fall under the Board of Education.
The Marlboro Police Department and the Board of Education announced on Thursday that all township schools will have armed officers present throughout school days.
"The protocols for these policemen are being written during the winter break with key input provided by police and school district administrators," said Board President Michael Lilonsky.
Officers will also have access to a digital monitor which will project images of the interior and exterior of schools.
Mayor Jon Hornik said the funding and decisions regarding school security are up to the Board of Education, but the mayor's office and the township council will have suggestions.
"It's going to be expensive," Hornik said. "But I think it's definitely worth paying."
As of now, township schools have two school resource officers. One officer floats among elementary schools and one around the two middle schools. Volunteer PTO members are also stationed at front doors to check visitors in.
"We are not yet equipped for a situation like Newtown," Hornik said.
Police Capt. Bart Lombardo said reports have come from Newtown, CT that the gunman shattered a large window to gain access to the schools. The police department the board are currently looking into shatterproof glass for the schools, and are considering hiring a third party vendor to conduct a district security assessment.
Marlboro Township schools at the K-8 level are currently equipped with a Visitor Management System. The system is able to scan identification and check school visitors against the sex offender registry and school-created parent lists. It can also print visitor badges with photos.
Marlboro High School already has a full-time school resource officer in place during school hours.
"The tragedy last Friday changed the way we look at school security forever," Hornik said.

Good move to have the armed police officers in every school together with reliable comunication system

Kudos to you Marlboro! Thank you for taking the first step in process that I can only hope Lacey schools and all schools follow in!

That's great .. I remember when I went to Marlboro high we had Officer James Fererro there at all times. He was truly amazing . He walked around the school in and out and sat w us during lunch . Everyone knew him and went to him for advise.

What about everywhere else ... dept. stores soccer games .. day cares .. churches .. ect.. This does nothing to get the 4 million assault weapons off the streets from evil people that have them ...Connecticut strictest gun laws in the state didn't help ..gun free zone at colorado movie theater didn't help Last 2 years towns were laying off police ..Is this a temporary fix to bigger problems

Completely agree Kevin. This is a short term fix to the fear we are all experiencing. The reality is the impact from arm police will be minimal, we all need to work hard to put pressure on our government officials to address this problem more holistically. Stricter gun laws, incentives to get guns off the street, taking a stronger stance on video and movie violence and of course mental health support.

The 4 million folks with assault weapons are "evil?" Why is that?

This is madness! I am on the Board of Education in Westfield and cannot understand why in the world you are doing this. Fighting gun violence with more guns does not work- that's what the NRA wants you to do. Its one thing to have some police presence from time to time but to have armed officers at all schools? This will not happen in our town. There is no perfect solution- Obviously security measures matter within the schools but you can't fight evil with more weapons. Sends a horrible message to the kids in my view. We are not a police state- nor should we become one.Unfortunately nobody will ever be equipped for a tragedy like Newtown until stronger laws are enacted federally and mental health awareness becomes more of a national issue.

kevin..4 mill AW on the streets? not likely....mitch...stronger laws? someone with a criminal intent in mind, wont be bothered by the law...murder is illegal, taking guns to school is illegal yet that happened anyway did'nt it? so what possible law could anyone craft that would prevent criminal acts from occuring....your essentially asking for a police state where by every facet of day to day human behavior is controlled. the only way is to implant mind control devices in every child born.
the other day a guy was let out of nj prison after serving 6yrs for manslaughter, the next he killed his ex-girlfriend. NJ needs to allow its citizens to carry concealed handguns, providing they pass obvious bachground and mental health checks as they do just to purchase guns in nj.You would see a huge drop in gun related crimes.Chicago has the toughest gun laws yet have a war zone type murder rate,ask yourself why?

I guess that there will soon be armed guards in malls, movie theatres, churches, hospitals or just any public place. Soon America will look like the Nazi SS state. Our kids are precious to all of us but having armed guards is not the answer.
Jim Sage
4:26 pm on Friday, December 21, 2012
I agree with you 100%!! This action--as well-intended--is just a "knee-jerk" response to the tragedy that occurred in Connecticut. In my opinion what we do need is the bullet-proof glass that has protected so many bank tellers over the years, and doors that are manned by school security personnel.
Furthermore, all glass doors need to be replaced with all metal doors. If I recall with the tragedy in Newtown, the doors were all glass. The doors were closed and locked when school employees observed the gunmen come towards the school; however, the gunman was able to blast through the all glass construction of the door, enabling him to just walk in.
As well intentioned as it may be-- this proposition is going to get expensive. We can't have armed police officers everywhere.

This is so over the top...Where does it end? Are we going to have armed bus marshals next? It looks to me like Mayor Hornik has begun his senate campaign.
6:21 pm on Friday, December 21, 2012
All of your suggestions of how to secure a school are valid, ie. Replace glass doors with metal, etc....but no matter what barricades you put in front of a madman, if they want to get in....they will. Plus, children and staff are totally vulnerable while at recess or outside for gym. The ONLY thing that will stop a gunman before he can kill 26 people is someone in the building with a gun. It sounds great to say we need to ban guns, or limit the sale of guns.....but what about the millions of guns already out there? There is no way to close that pandoras box at this point and get all the guns back....so, the only option is to protect our children with equal measures.

It didn't help at Columbine. They had an armed security officer. Like you said, a madman will find his way. An armed guard isn't going to save anyone, he'd just be the first target. Or he'd get there too late. It only takes seconds to "shoot it up".
7:34 pm on Friday, December 21, 2012
Sorry Mitch but I think you're way off base. Look back at the NRA statement. They think ALL should be armed. Be it teachers, admins, any responsible adult. Marlboro is not doing that. Marlboro is placing a trained police officer in their buildings with the hope and intent to discourage someone from making a decision like that subject made in Newton. As much of a lunatic that he was, his decisions were calculated and acted upon. This is a sad day in America but what choice is there. Say a prayer for Newton and lets hope that we can look back someday and say that these steps were not necessary.
Steve R

This is a local politician using fear to promote his own agenda. One cop at a school will not stop or deter a nut with an assault rifle, just ask the 15 families from Columbine, yes they had two armed officers at the school at the time of the shooting and they could do nothing. With all the talks about the economy and cuts the towns need to make there are much better ways to spend a million dollars of tax money. What most also seem to forget is most, 10 out of the last 12 school mass shootings in the US, were perpetrated by students within the school. Posting one officer has no effect one this. I am all for the safety of the children but not some local mayor putting his brownshirts in our public schools

There was an armed guard on duty at Columbine High School the day of the shooting. His handgun was no match for the assault rifles and militarized weaponry and armor that were brought into school that day. As a public school educator who has family who attended Marlboro schools, I'm saddened that this funding isn't going toward hiring more caring teachers, support staff, and health and human services professionals who could provide sorely needed intervention for troubled youngsters.
Steve R

You are 100% correct. Fund the programs that help our children grow into successful citizens with high self esteem. Not create a system of fear. I believe Kent St had armed security as well

I have 3 small s children attending the Marlboro schools and I couldn't be happier. I think they should also install billet proof glass in all the schools in the country. This country needs to amend some of the pure freedoms we have to make things safer here for everyone, especially the children. This wouldn't happen in Jerusalem! And if you are worried about the message the children are going to receive when seeing armed guards then think about the message the children are receiving when having to attend funerals of their classmates!! There is no easy solution and no exact answer but I hope this is a step in the right direction. Statistics show that schools with armed guards are less targeted.

Unfortunately, society has become much more interested in celebrities, lurid movies, and sensationalism. Many people, especially the sensitive ones, become ridden with all sorts of behavioral, social, and mental issues because of the too fast paced, instant gratification, culture we have. With all the single parents out there, or families where two parents work, our youth is being raised by the internet, gangs, and peer pressure. I believe in order to fix this problem, we need to fix ourselves, find our faith again, find a better way of life. Our children need to grow in a society that nurtures positivity and love. No law will ever stop these acts. These acts will however stop if those who would commit them never intended to do them. And in order for that to happen, we must fix our culture.
6:44 am on Saturday, December 22, 2012
If the gun owners were smarter we wouldn't have these issues. How many guns and ammo does one need? Remember the story last week out of Howell where hunters who were "within the legal limits" of a school frightened everyone hunting deer? What the heck were they thinking? Was it really that important to get the deer there during the time children were present?
A single guard might be an early responder but cannot possibly cover all exits. But if the NRA thinks this is required, perhaps they (and the gun and ammo lobby) can put up the money for it rather than throw more of this burden on the taxpayers.
11:04 am on Saturday, December 22, 2012
What about Fort Hood???? Should they have armed guards? Oh wait!! They did!! The military was there.... and they could not stop the insanity. This is just what the NRA wanted.. I have two elementary school children, and I think this is a sad day when we think this is the answer

Yea, armed MP's on base is no different than armed police roaming around town. You should know that.
Steve R
9:16 am on Thursday, January 3, 2013
Absolutely do and I also know that the reaction was not to put armed security in every building, it was not to allow every serviceman to carry a sidearm on duty. It was seen as a horrific tragedy, an isolated one where arming everyone would not have been an effective deterrent and could have created more risk than safety. These IMHO were wise decisions as opposed to what is happening in Marlboro where the mayor et al is trying to convince people their children are now safe since there is one local cop in a school of a thousand children. You should know that to an assailent armed with an assault rifle this PO is just one more casualty, not even a major concern and definitely not a deterrent.
9:48 am on Thursday, January 3, 2013
Actually, I disagree. These folks tend to be cowards and will stick with the easy target rather than one with a potential challenge.
The Mall Shooter out in Washington shot himself after an armed citizen took aim at him.
Just look at the preferred targets in the majority of these instances: All Gun Free zones and I'll bet the mall shooter didn't count on encountering an armed citizen.
Regardless, gun control doesn't work and no one wants to explore any options regardling the insane individuals who are responsible for these atrocities. What I DO know, is there are millions of gun owners NOT responsible for this crap and there are millions of AR-15's NOT involved in them either. The gun (or the knife or the car or the bomb) cannot commit the crime all by its self.
Steve R
10:27 am on Thursday, January 3, 2013
NJJarhead..gun control is a seperate issue to me, the issue at hand is whether or not this is an effective measure, and moving the target from the school to the playgound or the mall or the soccer field cannot be deemed an effective use of our limited budget. IMHO we should focus on preventing killings not changing where they happen. Are the families of the killed in Aurora somehow relieved or find solice that it was a movie theater not a school? 10 of the last 12 school shootings in the US actually came from students of the school though no measures have been put in place to prevent students from bringing firearms into the school in Marlboro, would this not be statistically a better way to prevent a school shooting? There is also a huge difference in a known target, ie uniformed policeman standing at the front door, and being surprised by an armed civilian. But lets go with your premence that it changes where a target would be acquirred, it does not stop or prevent a shooting, just changes the locale. Is this really what one would consider effective? Shot at the library rather than the school? Dead is dead no? The fact that the Mayor is hiding from the public and not addressing this in a publicize open forum is also very troubling. This should be a community discussion and a community vote not the grandstanding of a few local politicians.
10:31 am on Thursday, January 3, 2013
I think any response within a month of the latest tragedy is a knee-jerk reaction. But that's what the people want; with no thought of consequences, rights, truth, etc. etc. To be honest, I don't know what the answer is. But I know it's not gun control or even outlawing "assault rifles."
What do you think the answer is?
Steve R
10:38 am on Thursday, January 3, 2013
I dont have an answer and totally agree with you that this is a knee jerk reaction. I dont support this measure nor how it was put through. A responsible leader would have had open public discussions on what to do with the people of the community. And if the community decides this is how they want to spend their tax dollars so be it. This was not the case though The Mayor would rather spend his time doing TV interviews than address a serious issue with his constituents.

Sad news that the Marlboro mayor's first reaction was to add more guns to the discussion. How about adding land mines and trip wires just in case?
3:42 pm on Saturday, December 22, 2012
This is such poor decision on the part of the mayor..he does not understand the ramifications of allowing this to take place. It's a more complex issue that takes into account so many variables. There was armed security when Giffords was shot..nothing could have stopped that tragedy. so, what is the mayor doing and why? Most of us think this has not been well thought out....

Typical Marlboro: always doing the wrong thing. May I remind the morons who run Marlboro that Columbine AND Virginia Tech had armed guards; and so did the army--yes, ARMY base at Ft. Hood? You idiots! If your kids aren't frightened enough, you're sure going a long way to really mess them up with this idiotic idea, which is besides already having to grow up in Marlboro. Nice job. Have you seen the Marlboro cops? I wouldn't let them guard a cess pool. And wasn't it the Marlboro cops who chased that poor mentally ill kid until he shot himself with his father's gun? Yes, it was.
3:58 pm on Saturday, December 22, 2012

Wonderful ideas about changing our culture, single parent families, gun laws, getting faith back into our lives, accepting the mentally ill and reducing the stigma associated with it, HOWEVER, this can take some time.....and until then, I am all for an armed guard at my child's school to possibly deter some sick individual......Go Marlboro!
4:55 pm on Saturday, December 22, 2012
wendi, a very sick person such as Mr. Lanza will not be deterred from finding a way into a theater, school (hopefully not), playground and so on. Armed guards are not the answer. But, it's a false sense of security in my opinion. At this point, right after the slaughter in Newton, everyone is jumping on the NRA bandwagon. There were signs, according to what I've read, that this unstable individual was getting worse with his aberrant behavior. I question the number of guns that were available to him in his home. So, you seem to feel that armed security is the answer to solving the problem of mass shootings. You say it will take some time to make changes. Perhaps, this country has to move faster to make the necessary changes -however there are on-line sites in which people can get guns very easily without background checks. So, changes have to be made in many areas. We can't just sit back and accept a violent culture. Our kids are surrounded by violent video games, films, etc.
Violence and bullying are pervasive in our schools, sports arenas, and other institutions. Again, there is no easy answer. But, other countries do not have such easy access to guns.
Richard Berger
6:33 pm on Saturday, December 22, 2012
Wendi, it WILL take a tremendous amount of time.... but no time like the present as they say, so let's start now! All we have to do is to do one conscious act of kindness a day. It is contagious. Hold a door open, stop for someone with a flat... even doing the speed limit can reduce stress and anxiety for you, the person behind you, and the person in front of you..... true ways of debhilitating anger, malace, anxiety and depression....
6:52 pm on Saturday, December 22, 2012
Oh, so your "Tom Thornton?" hahahahhahahaha--give me a break! Looks like I struck a personal chord in my earlier post to blame the Board of Education members.
They are to blame PERIOD! This measure having police officers in schools (I wonder if it's on overtime?) will be very costly. You cannot have armed people everywhere. Like the poster said above: where does it end? Are we going to have armed marshals on school buses??
As for statewide school aid: If there is less coming into the district to subsidize the school operations (and Hurricane Sandy sure as hell will impact that), the taxpayers' have to make up the rest. Rest assured the residents of Marlboro will see a hike in their tax bill which already compromises about 60% of their tax bill.

The NRA said the way to stop the bad guys with guns is with good guys with guns. Nine people were shot by "good guys with guns" during the Empire State shooting. I am an educator, but I am sorry, the problem are these automatic weapons that are out there. I have yet to here ONE person give me a legitimate reason why these are legal. These are the guns that caused these mass shootings (see all of the mass shootings this year!). I am sorry, one guy with a gun in the school will not deter someone from doing these horrific things. This is a quick over reaction to a tragic event. Should you not ride the subway because someone got pushed? Should we not ride an airplane because of 9/11? It is a crazy world, but we need to be more aware of our surroundings and each other. So when a student takes out something that could be a gun and an officer pulls the trigger in a crowded hallway...then what? More guns is not the answer!
6:09 pm on Saturday, December 22, 2012

I agree completely. Just wait until one of these local cops shoots a kid in the hallway. There are no studies I have ever seen that shows that a police presence in schools lowers violence in the, Chicago BOE published one recently showing the opposite effect. We all want our children to be safe, but we also experience t our public officials to act responsibly and not to have knee-jerk reactions to get themselves on the evening news. At least the Governor is talking sense
5:39 pm on Saturday, December 22, 2012
I formed my opinion, wanting an armed guard in the school, well before the NRA even spoke....I agree that there should not be guns on the street and there should at the very least, be new laws regarding guns...but what about the ones already out there? And the point of recognizing mental illness, etc. I agree that the stigma exists and there might be some barriers toward treatment, etc However, being in the field for a number of yrs, there has been tremendous progress in recognizing mental illness and the availability of treatment options out there compared to years ago....but still, there will always be problems with the mental health system, as many that do have access to medication/services refuse to utilize it and the ones who want to, may not have the insurance or money to afford the meds/counseling that they may benefit from. So, therefore, I do not have the answer and never stated that i did but i see NO harm at all in having someone in the school for now until we figure out what the hell to do.....i am one who admits that i do not have the answer...too many seem so sure that they have the answer (video games, movies, 2 parents working, etc) and i think it's just silly....I think we are all just lost in this whole thing

The cop at the door would have been the first one dead. I cannot believe how ludicrous this knee jerk reaction is. How many schools are there? Are we going to pay a police officer $100,000 / year to sit at the door of every school? How about all the daycare centers doesn't every Goddard School, YMCA etc. deserve the same protection? How about CCD and Hebrew schools? Anyone see the insanity in this? If you are going to hire more cops put them on the road where they can really save lives, like enforcing DWI and Texting while driving laws. There's something that is highly likely to kill a kid in Marlboro, FAR more likely than a school massacre which is about as likely as a lightning strike despite what the news might have you believe. How about providing monthly Active Shooter training for the police and providing them with weapons and training that are superior to the bad guy so that in the unlikely event that something terrible does happen, you have a well staffed police department out on the road ready for rapid response well trained and well armed to deal with the threats.

The mayor got what he wanted, his name in a national newspaper, The Wall St. Journal, the New York section:
"...........Not all area officials think the idea is so off-base. Marlboro, N.J., Mayor Jon Hornik reportedly said all schools in the township will have armed guards by January. Mr. Hornik didn't respond to requests for comment. And in Danbury, Conn., which is situated near Sandy Hook, armed police are already routinely assigned to school-protection duty........"
This is shameless politicizing. These police officers could be put to more effective use by patrolling our neighborhood streets and shopping centers.

"Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among teen agers"
Yet many of the same parents advocating protecting their children in school by having an armed guard at the door are also buying those same children expensive cars and sending them out to be killed at a far greater percentage than any other cause of death. Do we not see some mixed message here? Sure, this senseless murder of 20 school children in Cn. was a terrible tragedy. What I see i happening is that the gun lovers of the country are trying to avert their eyes to the real problem of too many guns in the wrong hands by singling out historically, one of the safest places for our children, the schools, as a red herring and demand that more guns be in place to protect something that doesn't need protection. If you are really serious about protecting the children, take away their cars. Take away their cell phones which are shown to be the latest scourge of auto accidents. Demand that the police patrol the roads, put down their own cell phones and enforce the no cell phone use while driving. That will save our kids more than putting a armed policeman in every school.
10:58 am on Sunday, December 23, 2012
It seems to me more people are against this plan than are for it. Therefore, Board of Education members ( I know your reading this) please have a public hearing on this matter to get the true pulse of the people who will ultimately have to pay for this. As some readers remarked, where does it end? Are we going to have armed police officers in Goddard, Jewish schools, Catholic schools, etc. Stop the knee-jerk reaction.

Jon, congratulations on receiving your five minutes of fame for being the first to announce armed police officers in school and receiving media attention! I thought that was your motive during Sandy, to be on the forefront of the JCP&L issue and this has confirmed that you are fame hungry.
I bought my house 2 years ago in Marlboro Twp based on the great school system, now I live in a town where the mayor has jumped on the the NRA bandwagon....
I am happy that I have another three years before my son enters the school system and I hope that you are not relected and that this is gone by that time. Placing armed officers is not the answer. I bet that if there was an armed officer in Newton that day that the same outcome would have taken place with an extra person killed, the armed officer.

The NRA made their announcement on Friday. The Board of Education had a meetin on Tuesday and the Town Council had a meetin on Thursday accordin to the paper. It sounds like the NRA jumped on Marlboro's bandwaon.

None of this nonsense proves anything...Like I said before, statistics show that our kids are safer in schools than in automobiles and no one is talkin about takin their cell phones away while they're drivin or even keepin 'em out of cars until they're, maybe 21. That'll keep 'em alive a few years longer and maybe they'll get smarter...The problem is that too many of the parents are dumber!

Biggest threat to children in the entire world: cellphones and cars! Keep the cops on the street enforcing cellphone related distracted while driving laws!

So true, you see people on cell phone constantly all over town. Where are the police? If I am able to see this many times on a daily basis, why don't the police see these distracted drivers!

While refusing to have a public hearing Mayor Hornik was deleting all comments against this measure from his Facebook page while keeping those who supported his measure He has now taken the page down completely. Great way to respond to your constituency. Have a public hearing you have time before schools reopen. If you cannot face the public on a decision you make it says something about both you and the decision
Steve R

My err Jon Hornik is just blocking people who disagree with him from his FB page, he did not take it down completely. Still not sure why he cannot defend his tactics and decision in a public forum

To those who believe that cops in schools is bad, what is YOUR solution? Do something? Do nothing? What would you suggestr the town do?
Steve R
11:42 am on Friday, December 28, 2012
There are many options, and yes do nothing is a choice. They could put unarmed police in the school, as does NYC et al. They could change out the doors. The could hire counselors trained to work with troubled youths and get to the root of the issue. There are many choices that can and should be discussed but rather they chose without any public discussion to put armed police in the schools. It is not as if there was no time as it would have been nearly a month between the shooting in Newtown and when the kids return in January. The Mayor however chose to spend his time doing interviews with NBC news, CBS news, news12 new jersey and the New York post rather than address his constituents directly
milton McC
12:21 pm on Friday, December 28, 2012
Did you speak to the mayoir about it. There was a BOE and a Council meeting about it.In NYC the unarmed are not police but security officers and serve no useful purpose in my opinion other than being monitors for bad children. We don't face those same challenges in Marlboro. Counselors are a great idea but parents would have to agree that their child has problems. Look what happened in CT. The child had problems in school and the mother chose to home school him rather than face reality.Changing the doors is a good idea but takes time.
Steve R
12:48 pm on Friday, December 28, 2012
I have attempted to contact the mayor directly, seems he is not interested. NYC schools police force are a division of the nypd, they qualify as nys peace officers while on duty and is roughly 5000 persons strong. Again whether you agree or not the fact is they are options that should be discussed in an open public forum before armed security was enacted, there was time to have these discussions. Today there was a shooting inside a NJ police department, the only people armed were police, until one lost their firearm to a detained individual. And if this were to happen in a local high school, what then? I still see this as a political stunt by a mayor with higher political aspirations and nothing more. You can't say the interviews with the press added to the safety of the children, purely a political move. This IMHO is a play to exploit irrational fears after a horrific tragedy for political gain, nothing more
4:33 pm on Friday, December 28, 2012
Steve, you make a lot of sense. An open public forum would have been a good idea. The mayor should have responded to you about this issue. He seems to prefer face time on camera rather than facing his constituents at home with questions and challenges. The public would have shared ideas and perhaps have come up with some sane solutions to a serious problem. I wish Hornik had more interaction with the public and included them in contributing their ideas about the safety of our children. Safety at all venues has to be considered now. Movie theaters, malls, places of worship, etc. can be targets for unstable individuals who have access to guns. After the murders in Conn. there is more discussion which is a good thing. Mr. Hornik needs to pay more attention to the public including police experts, mental health workers and parents..His decision was made rather hastily in my opinion. The mayor should respond to your questions..He is showing a lack of respect by not doing so.

They are using tax dollars originally slated to provide our children with an education to further Jon Horniks Senate campaign. We all know where the money was coming from. It's the depleting of other school services to provide a security measure that has no chance of being effective that I personally objec to. Also that they have coasters from facing the taxpayers in a public forum

10:23 am on Thursday, January 3, 2013
With all comments like these, Marlboro schools will just become a target for some psycho. Some lunatic will just try to hit the schools now to make a point. Too much publicizing of this, let it go already.

In a celebration of Easter, the last week of Jesus' life is captured through displays and tours at the Explorations in Antiquity Center .
The "Follow the Cross" walk is aimed at helping the guests to get a hands-on look at Jesus' ministry with the setting as Israel. The tour teaches about Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and teaching at the Temple, to the Last Supper, his trial before, crucifixion and resurrection
"It's a great Eater celebration," said tour guide Walt Davis. "The tour gives everyone especially the kids a better look at what Easter is about."
Davis began the tour at a place with tents, where he explained was where Jesus made his entrance into Jerusalem. He explained that the tents, made of goat and camel hair, were used as mobile homes. Jesus pitched his tent amongst other tents and , in which the phrase was coined "The Tabernacle among us originates."
Over the course over the tour, the tour guide showed viewers a replica of place where Jesus celebrated the Last Supper , the home of Pontius Pilate, and the city where he was tried.
Aside from modern day assumptions of how the cross of Jesus' crucifixion was created, Davis explained by showing a replica cross, that it is likely that the cross was built on a tree.Romans used trees growing along either side of a road as sites of crucifixion, and sources indicate, that crosses were often rooted trees with a crossbar. He explained that Jesus was beat 39 times, before he was forced to carry the crossbar to his place of crucifixion.
Once Jesus was nailed to the cross to die, Davis said that white blood and fluids were flowing from the body, a sign that he was definitely dead, and not still alive when he was taken from the cross.
He explained that with the doubts of the resurrection of Jesus, that there is evidence that shows that Jesus did resurrect, and his body was not taken away by someone.
"It is proof that he did rise," said Davis. "If someone stole his body, then the swaddling that he was wrapped in wouldn't have been in tact."
He explained that the swaddling that Jesus was wrapped in was still found at the tomb and that if someone would have taken to the body, they would have taken the body wrapped in the swaddling.
In addition to the tour, guests are also able to participate in a meal that was common during the first century, where they learn about the importance and meaning of the Last Supper.
"Easter is the most important holiday of the Christian calendar," said the center's director, Derrick Lewis. "We do this to help people understand the story of Jesus and they get to see, touch, taste and feel things as they were in Jesus' time. And people can use this as an inspiration for their faith journey. It gives them the education and opportunity to do things that you can't do at any other museum."
The "Follow the Cross" walk will continue through March 30. The center is also holding a spring conference March 11-13 that will discuss the meaning of the death of Jesus, a Good Friday presentation will be held on March 29, depicting the events that happened during Jesus' last week, and an Easter sunrise celebration on Easter Sunday will entail music, drama and a message from Dr. James Fleming.

Abolitionist Frederick Douglass comes to life in Oneida
ONEIDA — "The Republican Party is the deck," opened Frederick Douglass, portrayed by Charles Pace. "All else is the open sea. I say this because of the Emancipation Proclamation, the Union army and the Fifteenth Amendment. All of these elements can be represented through the life, the memory, and the legacy of Abraham Lincoln."
Pace detailed the history of Douglass and his relationship with Lincoln and the Civil War throughout his presentations at Oneida High School and Otto Shortell Middle School on Friday.
During his presentation, he spoke about how Douglass, a former slave, was a recruiter for the first black U.S. soldiers, the Massachusetts 54th Regiment. Douglass became a confidant and friend of Lincoln when he went to the White House to protest the lack of pay, protection, and advancement that black soldiers received.
He also told of Douglass' escape from slavery and experiences in Europe before he became a free man.
A resident of Rochester, Douglass also had ties with Madison County. A friend of Garret Smith, Douglass spoke on occasion in Kenwood at the Oneida Community Mansion House. Smith was a driving force behind Douglass' beliefs and success — he help fund Douglass' first paper "The North Star" and was one of the reasons the former slave joined the Liberty Party.
"I look at the personal and political relationship between Douglass and Lincoln during the Civil War," Pace said. Throughout his portrayal of Douglass' views of the abolition movement and his critique of politics at the time, Pace is able to show the evolution of two men — Douglass, from a slave to a moral abolitionist to a political abolitionist; and Lincoln, from a colonialist to a radical abolitionist. Lincoln, who came from a non-slave background, did not initially think to abolish slavery but to instead limit its spread into new colonies.
"If Lincoln could change his mind, all men can change," said Pace. "It's the evolution of democracy in America.
Further, Pace said that this evolution of Abraham Lincoln and the creation of the 15th Amendment directly allowed the election of President Barack Obama.
Pace will present "Frederick Douglass: Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War" at Oneida High School Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. The presentation is being sponsored by the Oneida Area Arts Council in honor of the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, the beginning of Black History Month and Obama's second inauguration.
Pace, of Texarkana, is a Chautauqua scholar. He travels around the country impersonating various people throughout history. The principle of Chautauqua scholarship is that the scholar has studied a person in such depth that they can accurately portray them. In addition to Douglass, Pace has portrayed Malcolm X, Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois and Langston Hughes.

Recommended Things to Do by Groupon Customers
Peninsula Fine Arts Center isn't a passive art museum where guests stare silently at paintings and statues. Instead, the center uses rotating exhibitions of paintings, photographs, and pottery to inspire visitors to create their own artwork. To that end, the exhibiting artists often teach in the center's Studio Art School. Classes range from single-day workshops to 10-week sessions, during which instructors might teach small groups to paint with watercolors or change out a flat pottery wheel. The instructors keep their schedule balanced, leading classes that suit all ages and skill levels. Other classes, such as Little Helping Hands Adventure in Clay, let kids and adults create artwork together.
Kids don't need to sign up for classes to try out their art skills, however. In the Hands On for Kids interactive gallery, young patrons draw on a chalkboard wall, build with blocks, and complete various projects inspired by the exhibitions.
Political feuds. Infidelities. Racial tensions. Once capital of the colonies, Williamsburg possesses a deep history stretching back to the 18th century, and guide Allison Wildridge illuminates the city's many legends on her narrated walking ghostly tours. She also recommends that guests dress for the weather, wear comfortable walking shoes, and bring digital cameras.
Rare-breed horses trot down green, tree-dappled streets, past rustic wood and brick buildings. As cracking drums and chirping fifes echo off ancient streets and the gnarled trunks of trees, a solider in a red jacket, boots, and military epaulets addresses a group of visitors clad in baseball caps and T-shirts. The historical interpreters and other staff of Colonial Williamsburg bring the restored 18th-century town's history into the modern era through live demonstrations, walking tours, and educational programs. The living museum town sprawls across a 301-acre Revolutionary City, which encompasses designated historic structures such as the opulent Governor's Palace, Capitol building, and Magazine, many of which are perched atop their original foundations. Within some buildings, interpreters explain the significance of various period furnishings such as medicine cabinets and original 1770s Twister mats.
Visitors can witness live demonstrations of blacksmithing, shoemaking, and carpentry in Williamsburg's 19 historic trades shops, or traverse galleries inside DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, and Bassett Hall. In warmer weather, the Revolutionary City's manicured gardens bloom with period-appropriate plantings, and a garden maze confounds explorers with winding hedges and resident gnomes who insist on reading maps upside down. On tours, guides lead visitors through archaeological collections or into a reenacted courtroom session, and at Great Hopes Plantation, interpreters provide glimpses into the lives and plight of African-American slaves. Other seasonal activities span hands-on children's programs, Revolutionary War reenactments, and fife and drum performances.

Just got my Apocalypse class battleship, I now have all BFG models I would want for a long while apart from possibly a Vengeance or Avenger battlecruiser.
My problem is I am not sure wherever to make it as an Oberon or Apocalypse, as whilst I prefer the Oberon's rules and the style, I have my Retribution battleship to think about. Yes I know a BFG game is rare enough, let alone one where you could take 2 Battleships :P .
So what would be best? A problem is the list that has the Oberon in it does not have the Exorcist or Dauntless class ships, (and as GW never produced models for the voss light cruisers) I do have Falcions escorts that would be nice to actually use, and if someone ever made decent voss light cruiser models or a good conversion tutorial (I'm thinking of Dauntless with a prow change, sadly I am not confident in my abilities at sculpting.
So what would my best option? Make an Apocalypse to use with my Retribution and Exorcist, or make the Oberon and and use the Armageddon fleet list?

Features include bi-function HID xenon headlamps, heated exterior mirrors, push-button start, powered passenger table, heated/cooled seats, navigation, dual rear iPad docking stations, champagne flutes and a fridge. Safety is comprised of a protective body shell, advanced airbags, blind-spot monitor, automatic speed limiter, tire pressure monitoring (TPMS), emergency brake assist (BA), electronic brake force distribution (EBD), anti-lock braking (ABS), traction control (TCS), dynamic stability control (DSC), and cornering brake control. The XJ is backed by a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty.
The Jaguar XJ has always been a premium symbol of ultimate automotive luxury. Prices start at under $74,000, but that buys a smooth, powerful drivetrain as well as a specific kind of comfort and elegant, understated style that has always been emblematic of the XJ--the kind unavailable from BMW, Audi or Cadillac.
For 2013, Jaguar has revamped the powertrain in its XJ sport sedan. Standard XJs and all-new all-wheel drive models will run on an all-new supercharged 3.0L V6. The unit develops 340 hp, which is about 45 fewer horses than its 5.0L V8 predecessor. However, the V6 improves the XJ's fuel economy, with an EPA combined 28 mpg now estimated. The V8 continues in upper-level models Additionally, a new ZF 8-speed automatic transmission joins the mix, to replace the previous 6-speed. The combination is good enough to get the XJ from 0 to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds, according to Jaguar, with an electronically controlled top speed of 155 mph.
The XJ comes in several different models--the base XJ, the all-new XJ AWD, the Supercharged and the Supersport. The AWD car features Jaguar's Instinctive All-Wheel Drive system, which continuously monitors driving and road conditions to maximize traction and handling. A long-wheelbase model, the XJL, includes the following trim levels: Portfolio, Portfolio AWD, Supercharged, Supersport, and Ultimate.

Ergonomic operation, more compact design, higher safety level, combination of productivity with safety and integration of functions. These are only a few of the many characteristics on which our designers lay value when they write the specifications for new products and product families in co-operation with the product managers.
Here you see the results:
New features from the Schmersal Group. Always up-to-date.
At SPS IPC Drives 2012, the Schmersal Group presented an innovative solenoid interlock with a switch and actuator of unusual design. more
The Schmersal Group has developed the RSS 36, a versatile electronic safety sensor featuring, amongst other things, a high level of protection against tampering as well as flexible mounting possibilities. At SPS IPC Drives 2012, a variant with integrated AS-Interface Safety at Work (AS-i Safety) interface was presented. more
With the Schmersal system, which will be introduced at SPS IPC Drives 2012, the Schmersal Group takes an important step on its way to becoming a system provider in the field of machinery safety. more
Robust, ergonomic, safe and versatile. With the T2FH 232 series, the Schmersal Group extends its safety foot switch range with two-pedal variants. more
The range of application for the new MZM 120 is clearly defined. The safety sensor is designed for applications whereby machinery and plants are cleaned by means of hot steam or high-pressure water jet systems and aggressive cleaning agents. In other words, it is particularly destined to the construction of food-processing machinery, for which Schmersal also has developed other industry-specific safety switchgear. more
"A single product series for all imaginable application scenarios": With this idea in mind the Schmersal centre of excellence for optoelectronic safety products in Mühldorf/Inn, Germany, has developed new type 4 safety light curtains and light-grids according to IEC/ EN 61496, and first introduced those innovations on SPS/ IPC/ DRIVES. more
The new PROTECT SELECT series close the gap between safety relay modules and programmable safety control systems. more
Besides introducing new safety products on SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2011 the Schmersal Group also presented its extended services portfolio. more

Trajectile's uniquely angular puzzle-solving is fun, but a little too rigid for its own good.
The 40th Day streamlines in spots, but it ends up feeling like a very straightforward and somewhat bland shooter.
Darksiders pulls together concepts from a ton of different games, but the way it pieces these things together manages to feel exciting.
There's an intensity and a lack of compromise to Bayonetta that some might find overwhelming, but those who can stomach it are in for an audacious and singular experience.
Much of the potential of Bayonetta--potential that's realized on the Xbox 360--is lost to technical issues on the PS3.
The Underdome's disappointing challenges steer clear of everything that made Borderlands fun in the first place.
A laundry list of risky changes pays off in this great new beginning for the Silent Hill series.
PixelJunk Shooter's considerable charm and clever mechanics make it stand out, but it ends without fully realizing its potential.
Playing this mediocre tie-in shooter might make you want to skip James Cameron's latest movie completely.
QIX++ is a lifeless remake that isn't good enough to attract new players or satisfy old ones.
Pandemic brings some pulpy flavor to this open-world WWII game, but its stylish charm doesn't quite overcome the rough edges or the sense that its best tricks are borrowed from other, better games.
Spirit Tracks is filled with good moments that tweak the series' standards in interesting ways.
Rogue Warrior is probably the most foul-mouthed game of all time, but that's not enough to distract you from the poor shooting and sometimes-ugly visuals.
It won't offer any additional opportunities to build your character, but if you're looking for new places to visit on Pandora, Zombie Island is a fun new twist for Borderlands.
Braid asks that you forget everything you know about time.
Darkside Chronicles is a fine fit for those enamored with the fiction of the Resident Evil series. It's competent enough as a guided shooter, even if it doesn't do much to improve on the hoary old format.
Thanks to the high-res treatment and bloodily timeless gameplay, these PS2 action classics hold up better than you might think.
Tony Hawk: RIDE's shoddy hardware and ill-conceived software merge to form something completely abysmal.
Quiz World has some rough spots, but if you've got a group of trivia fiends in your home, Buzz! has your back.
If more Left 4 Dead is what you're after, this sequel has it. A lot of it.
Assassin's Creed II elaborates on the good ideas of its sneak-and-stab forebear, making an experience that requires far fewer excuses to enjoy.
While technically accurate, the "New" in New Super Mario Bros. Wii is surrounded by all of the classic 2D platforming mechanics from Mario's past, making it more of a nostalgic product than something truly new. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
LEGO Rock Band's charming premise crumbles under the weight of a scattered track list and a clumsy execution that doesn't do justice to either LEGOs or Rock Band.
Chinatown Wars doesn't attempt to fully duplicate the console GTA experience, and the end result is a much better game than what PSP owners have received in the past.
To outsiders, the changes in Modern Warfare 2 might sound minor. But if you've played a significant amount of Call of Duty 4, they range from "neat idea" to "totally mindblowing."
The Rabbids get a fresh lease on life by abandoning the minigame format that they're known for in favor of a single-player experience that still capitalizes on both their oddball charm and the unique capacities of the Wii.
It's Guitar Hero 5 with different graphics and a more diverse setlist. If you like these 65 songs, you should probably get Band Hero.
Runic's Diablo-like debut drills straight down to the core of what makes a great dungeon-crawling loot grind.
Tekken 6 is a great fighting game, but it's bogged down by a lot of extraneous baggage.
Without strong characters or story to rely on, The Ballad of Gay Tony highlights the ways in which open-world games have been refined and improved since the original release of Grand Theft Auto IV.
Even the most nostalgic Infinity Engine stalwarts will find a lot to love in this story-heavy RPG.
The third installment in the Mario brothers' handheld RPG series is the funniest and most engaging one yet.
DJ Hero's gameplay is challenging and exciting with a feel all its own, making it a welcome addition to the world of peripheral-based rhythm games.
The gameplay is pretty clunky, but everything else surrounding it makes WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2010 a really interesting package for wrestling fans.
Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time manages to play to its strengths while adding enough to make this the best in the series.
A Boy and His Blob is a charming all-ages affair that one-ups the game it's based on in virtually every conceivable way.
Borderlands' blend of first-person shooting and role-playing works because it puts the shooting first, resulting in a satisfying action game with enough depth and skill development to keep you hooked for 50 hours or more.
Almost in spite of itself, this is both a solid tower defense game and a good piece of fan service for South Park fans.
Whether you're on the track racing or off the track tuning and designing cars, Forza Motorsport 3 is incredible.
The heavy metal fantasy world of Brutal Legend and the characters that populate it are far more well-realized and engaging than the ambitious-but-flawed gameplay.

Thanks for the heads-up about that selectors thing, even if I don't quite know what it means.
However, Tihiy didn't specifically say that setting the heap limit above 4M would cause a problem, simply that RP10 would default to 4M and that setting too high a limit may deplete selectors. How high a limit would cause problems is not specified, although we can infer that it is somewhere above 4M. Anyway, I'm still learning these old tricks and simply report my finding, that setting the limit to 8M (on two machines now) has made a noticeable improvement to stability.

How to deal with spam messages
If you receive unsolicited marketing by e-mail from an identifiable company which you believe falls outside of a 'clearly defined customer relationship', use an 'unsubscribe' link or e-mail the organization to ask them to stop (keeping a copy of any correspondence). Tell the sender about the problem and allow some time for them to put things right.
If the unsolicited marketing e-mails continue despite unsubscribing or asking the sender to cease, government agencies exist and can be contacted to investigate complaints. Much spam e-mail is spread internationally – there are overseas agreements between many countries to cooperate and exchange information to try and prevent using email spam filters.
In our busy day-to-day lives, a safe course of action is to mark the unwanted message as spam, ignore and delete it. When using the collaborative BullGuard Spamfilter, sharing your found spam information with the BullGuard server keeps the latest spam definitions up-to-date and improves the efficiency of BullGuard Spamfilter for all users.
Spam trends
In 2010, emerging economies showed the highest increase in spam delivery. Spam level has increased in countries like UK, France and Germany. In UK, numbers have almost doubled from 2009 to 2010 because of the continuous expansion of broadband internet.
Despite the increase in spam levels in the mentioned countries, for the first time in history global spam volumes have decreased significantly, due to the shutting down of many active spam servers.
Legend: Annual spam levels in billions
Russian authorities have reported their first criminal investigation against a person believed to have propagated almost 20% of all the world's spam mails. When the servers in question were disabled, spam volumes dropped with almost 60 billion.
Service providers have made notable progress in disabling spam servers in countries like China and Turkey where spam levels dropped with up to 80% in 2010. The same happened in Brazil, after providers restricted access to port 25, which is used in e-mail relaying.

Grace Weinrib's Paintings Are Playful And Bright
There's something about Grace Weinrib's paintings that I really like. I don't think she's quite found her style yet – well it's either that or she is happy using a variety of styles and techniques in her work – but I do love looking at her pictures. They're playful, simple, bright, joyful and poppy. This might have something to do with the fact that she grew up under a Californian sun and now lives in Chile where she's an assistant professor in the Art School of Universidad Finis Terrae.
Besides painting she designs album covers, makes collages and does alot of photography.

The Old Vic
The Old Vic is one of the best known and best loved theatres in the world, synonymous with the greatest acting talent that Britain has ever produced from Laurence Olivier, Peggy Ashcroft, John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson to Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Albert Finney, and Peter O'Toole. Kevin Spacey was appointed Artistic Director in 2003 and under his leadership continues to attract the best creative talent from the UK and all over the world to tread its famous boards.
The Old Vic is also home to the award-winning education, community and emerging talent programme, Old Vic New Voices (OVNV) which aims to support emerging talent, inspire young people and open up theatre to new and diverse audiences.
Old Vic New Voices
Old Vic New Voices (OVNV) aims to support young and emerging talent, to source and develop new work for production on The Old Vic stage, and to open up the building to new and diverse audiences.
For those embarking on a professional career in theatre, OVNV offers actors, directors, producers and writers the opportunity to learn from industry professionals, receive support for projects they are passionate about, and to network with like-minded peers.
Programmmes provided by OVNV engage over 8000 people each year and are open all year round.
OVNV and IdeasTap
In 2009, OVNV formed a partnership with IdeasTap, a creative online network and funding body for emerging arts talent. Over the years our partnership has created numerous bespoke, member-led projects - from TURNING YOU ON in 2009, a course offering promotional skills that culminated in a viral advert used to promote IdeasTap, through to THE 24 HOUR PLAYS: OLD VIC NEW VOICES: 2012, OVNV's nationwide search to find actors, writers, directors and producers aged between 18 and 30 to create brand new short plays from scratch in just twenty-four hours.
The common objective of these projects were to empower young professionals whilst at the same time allow them to learn from real life experiences.
In 2010 Kevin Spacey came to IdeasTap HQ to deliver The Class, two workshops exclusively for IdeasTap members focusing on audition technique.

Clothier Luciano Barbera launched its Virtual Magazine earlier this month, featuring a rather nice piece by yours truly as well as a selection of good advice from the master himself. Luciano is in my opinion one of the best dressed men in the world, and his response to the question "How do I stay young forever?" is an Italianism (is that a word?) worth keeping in mind.
Alas, you can't and you won't. But wait, I have a solution. Knit ties. No, hear me out before you go to have "a little work done."
Knit ties are imperfect by nature.
The knot slips a bit. They fly in the wind. They pull over time.
They have a variable shape.
They are casual, playful, a kid dressed in his dad's clothes. Do you have a bulldog?
They are like a bulldog face. Imperfect, yet, beautiful.
Forever young? No. But they ooze sprezzatura, spirit, elegance. And, oh, if you don't have a dog, you might get one. I worry you are not getting out enough.

How to Stay Young Forever

What is Luciano Barbera doing now? I heard that he has closed his RTW business.

Agree entirely. Barbera is a style icon to me possibly because an Italian clothier in NYC claims I bear a resemblance to him. Seriously he always looks next to perfect which is perfect. I'm also a great fan of knitted ties and recently talked a relative into buying one. IMHO John is wise to choose Paul Stuart for his knits because they offer the widest selection of colors and patterns and they have the best hand (lovely scrunch) and bulk I've come across. And they are relatively reasonable in price.

Barbera's clothing business is alive and well.

Seitelman, we are definitely still around and still kicking. We have some wonderful new products and some you can soon see here at ASW.
Will - thank you for your constant support, we love your blog and love the article you wrote for our new VM. Keep up the amazing work.
