About this blog…
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

As for Latin…
"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II

Mr. Garrett, who works for Blue Ridge Paper Products in Canton, N.C., had volunteered to get his treatments in India in return for a share in the company's savings. Blue Ridge now says it will find Mr. Garrett a treatment alternative in the United States and will offer the overseas option only to its salaried employees.I had no idea there were companies like IndUShealth out there. But after looking into their hospital partners and recalled I had been to Escorts Heart Institute in Dehli - a relatively modern facility that catered to the more affluent population in India. I was there in 2001 as a "physician trainer" for Medtronic's launch of the Insync biventricular pacemaker for the treatment of patients with heart failure (at the time they didn't do heart transplants there -- too expensive). The facility was, er, nice (especially relative to the local government facility), but certainly not to the standard of US hospitals. It scares me that cost alone (and how they're going to sue if one of their employees has a complication) is what matters to US businesses.
IndUShealth, a company based in North Carolina that arranges health care in India for Americans, would have made Mr. Garrett's medical arrangements. The company acknowledged that its plan to send Blue Ridge workers to India was "on hold" but said it was exploring deals with other employers.
Scary thing is, it seems if the medical liability concerns are resolved, this will be a whole "new world" in healthcare.
I just hope I don't have to go to Dehli for my ulcer treatment when this becomes reality.

Standing on the West Front of the Capitol as the first African-American ever sworn in as president, Obama celebrated that historic achievement, noting that "a man whose father less than 60 years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath."
But the heart of Obama's first address to the nation as its president was rejection of the policies and values of his immediate predecessors and a somber call for the return of what he called traditional American virtues of hard work, fair play, tolerance and sacrifice for the common good.
In moments of crisis, "America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because we the people have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbears and true to our founding documents," Obama said.
"So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans."
Evoking the names and values of the Founding Fathers is commonplace in presidential speeches, but in Obama's case the device seemed intended to make a larger point:
The change he hopes to bring about will require even his supporters to accept things they don't want to accept, work with opponents they've long demonized and break long-ingrained lifestyles.
Americans as a whole must adopt a new, more self-denying way of life with little room for "those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame," he said. "What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility."
In a passage that echoed Franklin Roosevelt's first inaugural, Obama said, "Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished.
"But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions — that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and begin again the work of remaking America."
If the speech was exceptionally somber and included relatively few lines designed to draw roars of approval from the enormous crowd, the day nonetheless resounded with jubilation.
More than 1 million people flocked to the National Mall to take part in the event, spilling outward from the gleaming white Capitol steps toward the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial more than a mile away.
Choirs sang. The world's finest musicians — including classical violinist Itzhak Perlman and Yo-Yo Ma, the cellist, along with soul singer Aretha Franklin — performed. High school bands paraded. And tears streamed down faces, weathered and smooth alike, here and around the globe, as the son of a white American and a black African immigrant ascended to his place in history.
The only shadow on the day was cast during the luncheon for the new president in the Capitol's Statuary Hall hosted by House and Senate leaders: Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) suffered a seizure and was taken to a hospital. When Kennedy was stricken, Obama hurried to his side, later recalling that Kennedy had been in the Senate for the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965.
Kennedy suffers from brain cancer, but an aide said he was awake, talking with family members and feeling well.
Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), the oldest member of the Senate, was sitting near Kennedy and became visibly upset. He was taken from the lunch but an aide said later he is fine.
As is traditional, President George W. Bush and Laura Bush were whisked away by helicopter immediately after the inaugural ceremony and headed for their home state of Texas after a private farewell to staff at nearby Andrews Air Force Base.
And almost at once, the wheels of the new administration began to turn.
In the afternoon, new White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, as expected, put a hold on all regulations the Bush administration had been drafting, pending a review by the new team. Obama is expected to begin issuing his own administrative measures this week.
Obama made the appointment of his Cabinet his first official act, and the Senate approved six secretaries and a budget director before the day was over, though Senate Republicans delayed others.
Secretary of State-designate Hillary Clinton had been expected to win approval Tuesday, but Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) held her nomination up for a day to permit further questioning about her husband and his charitable foundation's foreign donors.
Others who face a more protracted process include Labor nominee Hilda Solis, Treasury nominee Timothy Geithner, attorney general nominee Eric Holder and Transportation nominee Ray LaHood.
The delays are expected to be temporary.
Obama also still needs to nominate a commerce secretary pick to replace Gov. Bill Richardson, who withdrew from consideration in the midst of a scandal in his home state of New Mexico.
The finality of the transfer of power was signaled in small ways and large. A picture of Bush vanished from the White House Web site shortly after noon, and Obama's portrait appeared in its place.
That Obama was taking office in challenging times, both domestic and foreign, he was quick to acknowledge, including an economic crisis as ominous as any since Franklin Roosevelt moved into the White House amid the Great Depression.
"Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred," Obama said. "Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age."
The way out of the domestic morass, Obama said, will require a more active role for government.
Indirectly rejecting Bill Clinton's assertion in 1996 that the era of big government was over, Obama said, "The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified."
On foreign policy, Obama vowed to outlast and ultimately defeat terrorists.
But he went out of his way to extend his hand to the Muslim world.
"To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect," he said.
He also declared that the United States would once more play the role of world leader. "We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan," he declared. "With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet.
"Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met."
Inauguration Day dawned with hundreds of thousands of people assembling in early-morning darkness to watch the day's events unfold — and to cheer, sing and tell stories.
In the crowd, there was sustained booing of Bush at some points in the program.
At the congressional lunch that followed the Bushes' departure by helicopter, Obama worked the room like a bridegroom at a wedding. When Kennedy was taken ill, Obama reminded the crowd in a halting voice that Kennedy had long been a supporter of equal justice.
"So I would be lying to you if I did not say that right now a part of me is with him," Obama said.
At another point, Michelle Obama joined her husband to review the troops on the steps of the Capitol. When Obama went to shake the hand of the military officer at his side, the president appeared startled when he got a salute instead as the new commander in chief.
But Obama and the new first lady were all smiles and ease as they walked a section of their parade route, the silver collar of Michelle Obama's yellow-gold dress glinting in the afternoon sun. In the evening, the Obamas were to attend and speak at 10 official inaugural balls.
Yet it was the words of the afternoon that resonated beyond their delivery.
The crowd, mesmerized, listened on the back of the West Lawn as the speech rolled across the Mall from a sound system that took two or three seconds to get to the farthest reaches of the crowd.
The echo meant that the field was never quiet, even when Obama paused, as though the words of the day couldn't be contained in a single moment or place.

About Unst
Unst is the most northerly of the Shetland Isles, just 12 miles long by 5 miles wide, outlined by majestic cliffs, ragged sea stacks, sheltered inlets, and golden beaches. Inland, purebred Shetland sheep and ponies roam the common grazing land. Unst is a major breeding site for seabirds including gannets, puffins, guillemots, razorbills, arctic skuas and whimbrels. Seals and porpoises are common and you may even see otters and killer whales. Try the following websites for more information:
Things to do
- Hermaness National Nature reserve is excellent for birdwatching. You'll find rare plants at Keen of Hamar, as well as sea and loch angling. The Trust can arrange guided walks, fishing trips, and tours of the island.
- Indulge in the local ingredients. Local lamb and shellfish can be ordered, and there is also a Farmer's Market once a month.
- The Unst Viking project has been unearthing Norse finds all over the island. Visit their reconstructed Longhouse and ship at Haroldswick.
Getting there
Although Unst is as far north as southern Greenland, it is a very accessible island. Smooth, modern roads and frequent vehicle ferries link the Shetland mainland to Unst via the neighbouring island of Yell. The ferries are very busy in summer and it is advisable to book in advance (Tel: 01957 722259).

Class Features
- MOMENTUM: Successive killing blows add 25% bonus damage (up to 100%)
- SCARRED: Immune to the first affliction suffered
- MARTYR: Extra altar in dungeon
Note: the only valid status ailments for "Scarred" are mana burn, poison, weakening, and corrosion. You still suffer the negative consequence of the first "scar", meaning you will still suffer the first hit of weakening and corrosion, and will still lose all your mana when mana burned for the first time (though you will immediately become immune to it and can regenerate mana by exploring normally).
The Crusader can build up to massive amounts of attack bonus, reaching up to +100% after killing four enemies. This allows Crusaders to deal massive amounts of damage that other classes simply couldn't achieve with a single blow. On the other hand, the Crusader loses this bonus if he doesn't land a killing blow, so he must repeatedly kill low-level monsters to rebuild his momentum and deal his maximum damage. This makes it exceedingly important to leave lots of low-level monsters alive for the boss battle, and makes him work very well with deities like Tikki Tooki. Note that killing monsters that don't grant XP will still cause your momentum to disappear. This makes it very difficult to play the Crusader on the Hexx Ruins level.
Normally you will want to be immune to either weakening or mana burn, depending on your dungeon. It is a good idea to seek out the type of affliction you want to be immune to as early as possible. This is especially important when using Patches. Being immune to mana burn makes it much easier to use Patches, but he might randomly poison you when you level up, so you must gain mana burn immunity as soon as possible. For some reason, Jehora Jeheyu's punishments do not trigger the "scarred" effect, so you will need to find immunity from another source if you wish to use the Crusader to ignore Jehora Jeheyu's penalties.
The Orc makes by far the best race for Crusaders. Due to his massive attack bonus, an Orc Crusader's heightened base attack will be multiplied to enormous proportions. It is virtually impossible for a Human Crusader to exceed the attack power of an Orc Crusader.
One particularly devious strategy with the Crusader is the so-called "one-hit-wonder". This Crusader both prepares a strength potion and purchases one in dungeon, and otherwise works to maximize his attack bonus (usually by playing orc and converting just about everything). He then builds up to 100% momentum and activates each of the strength potions, regenerating his mana between each activation. This will grant him a single attack that deals several hundred damage. Against weaker bosses, this is often enough to kill them outright with a single blow. These strength potions last for only a single attack, however, so make sure it counts!
Prior to a change to the apothecary that reduced the number of strength potions a character can have simultaneously, the Crusader was one of the only classes in the game that could kill a boss with melee attacks as a level 1 character.

Lots of Rondo mixes lately. I never need an excuse to post a mix featuring Rocky music.JR 5/17/2010 07:05:00 PM Tweet Edit
10 Responses so far.
My favorite Rondo mix has to be either of the "All the Above" mixes :)
JR says:
Thanks for the links R-I-S.
Keep me posted of any new Rondo mixes please.
No problem, I definitely will since you guys seem to appreciate them as much as I do. There's actually quite a few, those two happen to be my favorite. Let me dig through some of my saved favorites on YouTube and give you the links.
By the way, I think you mean R-I-L :P
JR says:
My bad R-I-L
The only issue I have with Rondo mixes is that his plays only recently became huge to the casual NBA fans, whereas Celtic fans who saw the potential in Rondo saw his greatness in spurts and weren't as surprised when he blew up in the playoffs last year, so a lot of them are very repetitive. As repetitive as they can be, though, I think the music and the clips matching up with the music matters more.
Anyway, here are a few more:
Whoa. I just came across this piece:
Doc Rivers to join LeBron in Chicago?! I'm pretty sure NBA Fanhouse is a pretty legit site/blog, no? At first I was kind of baffled when I read the title but as I read on, some of it made sense while not making any sense at the same time.
What do you guys here at CelticsLife think?
Jenda says:
As much as I can't envision Rivers coaching James, it's even more difficult to see him as a Derek Fisher - a rat. When he says he's either going to retire or stay in Boston I believe that he'll do that, not go and coach Bulls. And as for LeElbow - who cares?

And thanks R-I-L for the Rondo vids! Even if they duplicate, most of these moves are worth seeing over and over.
@ Jenda
Yeah, I can't see him as a rat/liar who would betray Boston like that. Just some of the points made in that piece made a little bit of sense. I'd be pretty bad if that actually ended up happening because of the loyalty Boston has shown him. When everyone was saying he should be fired, they stuck by him knowing that he could do better.
And you're welcome! They certainly are worth watching :) Also, you should look up Rajon Rondo's top 10 plays from the '07-'08 season. My personal favorite is I think #3, where the guy says "abra-cadabra, holmes" .... it's such a beauty to watch. I can't believe some people said he would never be good!
Unknown says:
doc has made it clear that if he leaves boston, it won't be to coach another team. if he is coaching next year it WILL be boston

Last In, First Out(redirected from Last-In, First Out Accounting)
Also found in: Encyclopedia.
Last in, first out (LIFO)
An accounting method that fixes the cost of goods sold to the most recent purchases. Hence, if prices are generally rising, LIFO will lead to lower accounting profitability.
Last In, First Out
In accounting, a technique for valuing inventory by treating inventory acquired most recently as if it were sold first. The sale of inventory is recorded against the purchase price of the most recently acquired inventory, even if the physical goods are not the same. In times of high inflation, the last-in, first out technique reduces a business' inflation risk. It also may reduce one's tax liability. For these reasons, most American firms have used this technique in their accounting since the 1970s.
Last In, First Out (LIFO)
An accounting method for valuing inventories for tax purposes. Under this method, the last items purchased are treated as being the first items sold. Ending inventory is valued using the cost of the items with the earlier purchase dates.

Sadly, I believe I've run into a pretty solid wall with Pocomail and Barca development: it is now obvious to me that I can not reasonably expect to release an update to either Pocomail or Barca that I would feel comfortable charging money for.
As I wrote before, Pocomail 5 has been an elusive goal for me: a combination of ever-expanding requirements due to Pocomail's aging development environment and Microsoft's push into new technologies with Windows 7 and just announced changes to Windows 8. Pocomail 4.9 was just a little more achievable, the beta I have right now has a lot of rough edges and bringing the new HTML components to a release-ready state will be tough (releasing it as beta is a different matter). If the market for third-party email software was healthy these would be fights worth fighting for but our experience has been the exact opposite.
As our revenue has been steadily decreasing it is not even possible to invest and hire out to overcome this hurdle. I don't mind if I don't make money out of Pocomail going forward and even supporting it financially to keep the community going, but I would need to find the right people to help as my skill set is no longer optimally used for development. Pocomail platform would need to be pushed into the future, into something more modern than Delphi. I've taken on more product manager roles in side projects to keep my family solvent, and I realize that is where my strength is today. Sadly, it is hard to motivate outside programmers to modernize a project like Pocomail in the days of Gmail, app stores, tablets, etc.
I realize I cannot keep hoping that the right solution or the right partner will come along - you guys using Pocomail and Barca need to make decisions yourself, especially as Windows 8 starts coming up on the horizon. For this reason I just don't think it's fair to maintain Pocomail or Barca as a paid product beyond the end of this year. If the situation changes and I was able to find the right person to help continue Pocomail legacy I will gladly change my mind.
I will continue hosting the download and the forum, and will continue support for 6 months after we stop selling it. I will also try to get the 4.9 beta somewhat polished off and release it, but this build will likely not get released as the official version.
This is a really hard decision as I hear from you every week, and I know how you feel - having to put to rest years of work and many thousands of lines of code that still fill my head will be incredibly hard. But I realize that things are not likely to get any better in 2012 for my little email software.
The software may fade away but the friendships I made through it are real, I hope to keep in touch - you're welcome to a free license of whatever I do next.

I'm a former member of the GOP and now identify myself as a Libertarian. No political party defines me completely, as I would suspect that is the case for most people. I've been a member and moderator at several different political sites. Debate Politics is my favorite, even though I have a ton of people from other sites with same AND differing political views whom I respect a ton, and have maintained contact with quite a few.
I'm a mother of two teenagers. My son and daughter are both in high school and are very active. My son is adopted and struggles with ADHD and fetal alcohol syndrome. He's a good kid and is very dedicated to baseball and JROTC. My daughter had major surgery in January, 2012 and is stronger than a lot of adults I know. She's an honor roll student and active in girls softball, JROTC and HS marching band. I love them both very much.
I am also a Residential Program Manager for a couple of group homes for adults with developmental disabilities. It's an extremely stressful, tiring and frustrating job - but it's hands down the most rewarding job I've ever had. My goal for the people I serve is to have them seen for their ABILITY instead of their DISABILITY.
I am a native Kansan and I root for K-State - NOT KU!
I'm fair minded but not a pushover. I firmly believe in treating others the way you would want to be treated. I make a habit of being direct and to the point. I don't dance around an issue when I have something to say. I can be aggressive at times, but I don't believe aggressiveness is a bad thing in certain situations.
I love to talk to different people, so PM me if you'd like to chat.

Story highlights
- A Gaza company has launched a perfume named after Hamas' M75 rockets
- Its slogan is 'Whoever loves victory, happiness and dignity, loves the M75 perfume'
- The rocket, built with Iranian advice, is a symbol of pride for many in Gaza
Perfumes are typically named for flowers, jewels, seasons or feelings -- not long-range missiles.
But residents of Gaza can now buy a fragrance inspired by the rockets used in Hamas' recent conflict with Israel.
Gaza company Stay Stylish is behind the perfume, called M75.
"We have a marketing slogan which is 'Whoever loves victory, happiness and dignity, loves the M75 perfume,'" the company's marketing director, who wished to be identified only as Shadi, told CNN at the Stay Stylish store in Gaza City's Rimal neighborhood.
"M75 in Gaza means a period of happiness, or the feeling of victory, and the use of the perfume is an expression of happiness as well."
The M75 was one of the long-range missiles militants in Gaza fired at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem during the conflict last month, which ended after eight days with a cease-fire on November 21.
Although the conflict resulted in the deaths of many more Palestinians than Israelis, Hamas' leader Khaled Meshaal claimed victory for his organization, saying Hamas had forced Israel to accept their terms.
Many Gazans took to the streets to celebrate what they saw as a victory over the Israeli military.
Shadi told CNN the "victory" provided an ideal marketing opportunity.
He said the rocket was a local symbol of pride, used in much the same way a Parisian company might use an image of the Eiffel Tower to market their perfume.
"In our case, it was the victory of the Palestinians that will make a profit for our company," he said.
Charles Lister, an analyst at IHS Jane's Terrorism and Insurgency Center, told CNN the M75 was named for one of Hamas' founders, Ibrahim Al-Maqadma, and its designed range of 75 kilometers.
Although the rocket was essentially a reproduction of Iranian technology, Hamas had branded the rocket a Palestinian achievement to project an image of self-dependence and military strength.
"By claiming to have produced the M75 itself, Hamas is arguably trying to present itself as a force capable of producing its own weapons and not relying only on foreign powers as suppliers," he said.
The commander of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards has publicly acknowledged supplying Hamas with the knowledge to develop the M75, a version of Iran's Fajr missiles.
Shadi said the perfume came in male and female versions, with the male scent containing notes of citrus, vanilla and sandalwood, and the women's version smelling of rose, basil and jasmine.
Both were selling well, he said. "Thank God the Palestinian people are proud of the number 75."
M75 is not the first fragrance to have been inspired by a conflict with Israel. Following the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, Lebanon's Daily Star reported bottles of a scent called "Resistance" were being sold in southern Beirut, packaged with an image of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and a representation of a damaged Israeli warship.

I wrote a piece for The Daily Beast on Nintendo's response to wanting same-sex relations in one of their games. For many – including gaming fans – this may seem like so much nonsense. Yet, what it speaks to is a greater problem of exclusion and targeting, of how you do harm by doing "nothing" or ignoring, within a popular medium – in this case, games.
You can examine all sorts of mediums, but the one I've dealt with here – because it is my passion – is games. I do challenge you, though, to read the comments without wanting to build a spaceship and find other planets. If you follow me on Twitter, you'll know I've been Tweeting a bit about so many stupid responses.
It's pretty bizarre how there still exist such mindsets with such deep-seated hatred for gay people and same-sex attraction. Why? It's simply something I cannot fathom – and I say that as someone who advocates understanding your opponent in debates. I'm not gay myself, so I've never had to face such horrible treatment (Homophobic slurs tossed at me don't count as experiencing homophobia, merely because I write about sex equality – I think I made some commenters* angrier when I indicated I'm not, in fact, gay).
I just don't know whether there even exists a debate about whether gay people are persons – so it means I don't have opponents, so much as people holding completely strange and bigoted worldviews. Of course, this doesn't mean swearing or treating these opponents badly – it just means that any bridge for comprehension collapsed some time ago. I'd like it to return to have them change their mind, but I don't know. It is very difficult.
Why hate gay people so much? I mean, geez! Equating them with Nazis? Friggin' hell.

Pilgrim Africa is a member of the Micah Network
To motivate and equip a global community of Christians to embrace and practice integral mission.
The term integral mission comes from the Spanish 'misión integral', which is a commonly used term in Latin America for what others may describe as holistic transformation.
A number of phrases have been used to attempt to capture and summarise the model of mission expressed throughout the Bible, each with their valued strengths and limiting connotations, for example:
As a global network, Micah Network needed to decide on a phrase and vocabulary that broadly covers all these near alternatives so as to facilitate a shared understanding and thus avoid confusion and distraction from our shared commitment to promote the full intent expressed in the whole Gospel. We have therefore suggested the term integral mission, not to impose it in any way on member organisations or indeed within the global Christian community but just as a matter of practicality to help us focus on the outworking of mission rather than loose time in terminology discussions.
Our founding verse from Micah 6:8 underpins a proactive engagement, which inspires us to respond:
"What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
Our definition of integral mission is taken from a consultation[1] held in Oxford, United Kingdom, in September 2001, which resulted in The Micah Declaration on Integral Mission being produced. The introductory extract outlines the summarised definition of integral mission as follows:
Integral mission or holistic transformation is the proclamation and demonstration of the gospel. It is not simply that evangelism and social involvement are to be done alongside each other. Rather, in integral mission our proclamation has social consequences as we call people to love and repentance in all areas of life. And our social involvement has evangelistic consequences as we bear witness to the transforming grace of Jesus Christ.
If we ignore the world we betray the word of God, which sends us out to serve the world. If we ignore the word of God we have nothing to bring to the world. Justice and justification by faith, worship and political action, the spiritual and the material, personal change and structural change belong together. As in the life of Jesus, being, doing and saying are at the heart of our integral task.
See the full Micah Declaration on Integral Mission here.
[1] 140 Christian leaders, theologians and aid practitioners from 50 countries attended this consultation which was held under the auspices of the Micah Network.

Daring Bakers 31st Challenge: Swiss swirl ice cream cake
The July 2010 Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Sunita of Sunita's world – life and food. Sunita challenged everyone to make an ice-cream filled Swiss roll that's then used to make a bombe with hot fudge. Her recipe is based on an ice cream cake recipe from Taste of Home. With Summer finally underway in the BC Westcoast, this was a good recipe to do at this time. I split the parts over a few nights, doing the swiss roll on the first, lining the bowl and freezing the roll slices on the second, making the ice creams and and fudge on the third, and finalizing the layers on the fourth night. I only made half a recipe, but I could have easily fed eight people with it. The chocolate ice cream didn't freeze as firmly as the vanilla one, but in the end, provided a nice sauce to go with the dessert. It's a beautiful dessert. Great challenge. Thanks Sunita!
Swiss roll ice cream cake
Preparation time-
For the 2 Swiss rolls–
30 mins each + cooling time (at least 30 minutes) before filling and rolling. The filling can be made while the cakes cool.
-For the ice creams– 5+10 minutes + freezing time

- Knife
The Swiss rolls-
Preparation time– 10 minutes
Baking time– 10-12 minutes
Rolling and cooling time– at least 30 minutes
Filling-5-8 minutes
Filling and rolling– 5-10 minutes
6 medium sized eggs
1 C / 225 gms caster sugar /8 oz+ extra for rolling
6 tblsp / 45gms/ a pinch over 1.5 oz of all purpose (plain) flour + 5 tblsp/40gm /a pinch under 1.5 oz of natural unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted together
2 tblsp /30ml / 1 fl oz of boiling water
a little oil for brushing the pans
For the filling-
2C / 500 mls/ 16 fl oz of whipping cream
1 vanilla pod, cut into small pieces of about ½ cm (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)

- Pre heat the oven at 200 deg C /400 deg F approximately. Brush the baking pans ( 11 inches by 9 inches ) with a little oil and line with greaseproof baking paper. If you have just one pan, bake one cake and then let the pan cool completely before using it for the next cake.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and sugar and beat till very thick; when the beaters are lifted, it should leave a trail on the surface for at least 10 seconds.
- Add the flour mixture, in three batches and fold in gently with a spatula. Fold in the water.
- Divide the mixture among the two baking pans and spread it out evenly, into the corners of the pans.
- Place a pan in the centre of the pre heated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or till the centre is springy to the touch.
- Spread a kitchen towel on the counter and sprinkle a little caster sugar over it.
- Turn the cake on to the towel and peel away the baking paper. Trim any crisp edges.
- Starting from one of the shorter sides, start to make a roll with the towel going inside. Cool the wrapped roll on a rack, seam side down.
- Repeat the same for the next cake as well.
Whipping Cream
- Grind together the vanilla pieces and sugar in a food processer till nicely mixed together. If you are using vanilla extract, just grind the sugar on its own and then add the sugar and extract to the cream.
- In a large bowl, add the cream and vanilla-sugar mixture and beat till very thick.
- Divide the cream mixture between the completely cooled cakes.
- Open the rolls and spread the cream mixture, making sure it does not go right to the edges (a border of ½ an inch should be fine).
- Roll the cakes up again, this time without the towel. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge till needed, seam side down.
The vanilla ice cream-
Preparation time-5 minutes+freezing
I have made the ice cream without an ice cream maker.
2 and ½ C / 625 ml / 20 fl oz of whipping cream
1 vanilla bean, minced or 1 tsp/ 5 ml/ .15 fl oz vanilla extract
½ C / 115gms/ 4 oz of granulated sugar
Grind together the sugar and vanilla in a food processor. In a mixing bowl, add the cream and vanilla –sugar mixture and whisk lightly till everything is mixed together. If you are using the vanilla extract, grind the sugar on its own and then and the sugar along with the vanilla extract to the cream.
Pour into a freezer friendly container and freeze till firm around the edges. Remove from the freezer, beat till smooth and return to the freezer. Do this 3-4 times and then set completely.
The Hot fudge sauce- I made this just after adding the layer of vanilla ice cream to the cake.
Preparation time-2 minutes
Cooking time-2 minutes
1 C / 230gms/ 8 oz of caster sugar
3 tblsp / 24gms/1.5 oz of natural unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tblsp /15gms/ 1 oz of cornflour/cornstarch
1 and ½ C /355ml /12 fl oz of water
1 tblsp /14gms/ 1 oz butter
1 tsp/5 ml / .15 fl oz vanilla extract
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornflour and water.
- Place the pan over heat, and stir constantly, till it begins to thicken and is smooth (for about 2 minutes).
- Remove from heat and mix in the butter and vanilla. Keep aside to cool.
The chocolate ice cream-
Preparation time– 5 minutes + freezing
2C/ 500 ml whipping cream
1 C/230gms/8 oz caster sugar
3 tblsp/ 24 gms/1.5 oz of natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- Grind together the sugar and the cocoa powder in a food processor .
- In a saucepan, add all the ingredients and whisk lightly.
- Place thepan over heat and keep stirring till it begins to bubble around the edges.
- Remove from heat and cool completely before transferring to a freezer friendly container till firm around the edges. If you are using an ice cream maker, churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instruction, after the mixture has cooled completely.
- Remove from the freezer, beat till smooth and return to the freezer. Do this 3-4 times and then set completely.
- Cut the Swiss rolls into 20 equal slices ( approximately 2 cms each ).
- Cover the bottom and sides of the bowl in which you are going to set the dessert with cling film/plastic wrap.

Arrange the Swiss roll slices up the bowl, with the seam sides facing away from the bottom, to cover the sides of the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and freeze till the slices are firm (at least 30 minutes).
- Soften the vanilla ice cream. Take the bowl out of the freezer, remove the cling film cover and add the ice cream on top of the cake slices. Spread it out to cover the bottom and sides of the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and freeze till firm ( at least 1 hour)
- Add the fudge sauce over the vanilla ice cream, cover and freeze till firm. ( at least an hour)
- often the chocolate ice cream and spread it over the fudge sauce. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4-5 hours till completely set.
- Remove the plastic cover, and place the serving plate on top of the bowl. Turn it upside down and remove the bowl and the plastic lining. If the bowl does not come away easily, wipe the outsides of the bowl with a kitchen towel dampened with hot water. The bowl will come away easily.
- Keep the cake out of the freezer for at least 10 minutes before slicing, depending on how hot your region is. Slice with a sharp knife, dipped in hot water.

In honor of October being the month of Halloween - and other things spooky - all of my blogs this month will deal with a haunted location and the cemetery that ties into the story.
Tis the season……..Enjoy!
Illinois in 1840
Her story is one of questions, conflict, and mystery over 160 years later. Elizabeth (Betsey) Reed was a frontier wife, in a tiny Illinois town, in the mid-1840's when she was suddenly charged with the unthinkable – murder!
According to the news and court reports during May 1844, Betsey Reed was accused of giving her husband Leonard, a cup of arsenic-laced sassafras tea. He died the next day. The charge of murder levied against Elizabeth Reed was based on only one report - made by a relative.
Heathsville & Palestine
Unfortunately for Betsey, she was not well liked in the tiny village of Heathsville, Illinois. Many of the women found her to be coldhearted, uncaring and eccentric. However, the men appeared to be fascinated by her, observing none of the traits the local women did.
Public opinion of her husband Leonard wasn't much better. Some viewed him as a calculated businessman, others as a failure who was unwilling to fit in to society. Either way, neither garnered public sympathy or support.
1840's Log Jail
Reed was arrested, taken to Palestine, Illinois and charged with murdering her husband. She was placed in the Palestine jail where she started a fire that burned down the building. Officials said that she had nothing in her possession that could have been used to start a fire. The insinuation of being a witch had been made and the town's 13-hundred residents were titillated by the story.
Lawrence County Courthouse
Reed was then moved to the Lawrence County jail in Lawrenceville, Illinois, about 25 miles away. The change of venue did nothing to assist in Reed's defense. The story was so horrifying for the time that it was being covered, by newspapers from around the state, and around the country, from as far away as New York.
Augustus French
William Wilson
Elizabeth Reed was defended by two well-known attorneys, Augustus French and Usher Linder. The only witness to the supposed event was a relative, 16-year-old Evelyn Deal. Evelyn said that she saw Betsey pour a white powder into Leonard's tea and serve it to him. No other evidence was given. Reed's trial lasted for three days and she was never allowed to comment in her own defense. Illinois State Supreme Court Justice William Wilson pronounced her guilty of murder and sentenced her to be hanged.
On the morning of May 23, 1845, thousands lined the streets of the small town of Lawrenceville. Crowd estimates ranged from 8,000 to 20,000 people on hand for the execution. It was rumored that Betsey Reed 'found God' in the eleventh hour and had been baptized in the Embarras River the night before. Reports said that she went to the gallows, riding on top of her coffin, singing hymns and chanting religious verses. The minister who presided, Reverend John Seed, preached a long sermon to the crowd while Betsey continued to sing and chant. Ninety minutes later, Elizabeth (Betsey) Reed became the first woman in the U.S. ever publicly executed and the only woman executed by hanging in Illinois.
According to the New York Daily Tribune, Betsey's body was taken down and dissected. It was found that she had swallowed tiny pieces of brick and pulverized in glass in an attempt to kill herself and escape the hangman's noose.
Baker Cemetery
Betsey Reed was buried outside of the local town cemetery, in an unmarked grave. But family members, who did not believe she was guilt, demanded she be given a proper burial. Betsey was re-interred at a tiny country cemetery called Baker, just outside of Heathsville.
Lane to cemetery
Up a narrow country lane, surrounded by crops and woods, the cemetery has a gloomy feel, even during the day.
E.R. Marker
The Reed's Gravestone
Elizabeth is buried next to Leonard, the husband she was found guilty of killing, at the back of the cemetery. A simple stone marked E.R. can be found in the grass. Along side it is a replacement stone that simply lists their names, dates, and how they died. Under Leonard's name it says "Death by Murder." Under Betsey's name it reads "Death by Hanging."
Two orbs near graves
(Crawford Co Ghost Hunters)
But, according to the Crawford County Illinois Ghost Hunters, it appears that Betsey Reed did not go 'quietly into that good night.' After exploring this cemetery they have reported paranormal activity around her and Leonard's graves.
An afternoon in Baker Cemetery
One hundred sixty five years later, questions still exist as to her guilt or innocence. Regardless, Elizabeth Reed has gone down in the annals of U.S. history as the first women to be hanged in the state and the country.

Ryu handling rock-star status with aplomb
Though followed by throngs of Korean media, rookie lefty excelling
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers got it right with Hyun-Jin Ryu.
The rookie left-hander from Incheon, South Korea, has been everything the Dodgers expected and more. Ryu has gone at least six innings in each of his seven starts, the only member of the rotation to do so. He averages 9.9 strikeouts per nine innings, the highest percentage among the club's starters.
Ryu has cemented himself as the No. 2 starter behind Clayton Kershaw. He's tied with Kershaw for the team lead with three wins, and ranks second with 43 2/3 innings and 48 strikeouts. With Zack Greinke sidelined by a broken left collarbone, Ryu has risen to the occasion and given the Dodgers what they need.
"It's been huge," manager Don Mattingly said. "He just kind of keeps stepping up and he's pretty cool to watch, actually. I like watching him pitch."
While Ryu's numbers are impressive, so is the way he carries himself on and off the field.
Wherever Ryu goes, cameras and throngs of Korean media follow. He's always in the spotlight. But that's nothing new for foreign stars when they come to the Major Leagues.
Dodgers veteran Jerry Hairston has seen it all before. He spent the 2009 season with the Yankees, where he saw Hideki Matsui constantly surrounded by Japanese media and fans. Four years later on a new team and on a different coast, Hairston is impressed by the way Ryu approaches his rock-star status.
"He definitely gets a lot of attention and he's handled it exceptionally well," Hairston said.
Ryu signed a six-year, $36 million contract in December. He's 26 years old and resides in downtown Los Angeles. There are plenty of distractions outside the ballpark, but that does not affect his performance on the field.
In the Dodgers' posh new clubhouse before his Major League debut on April 2 against the defending World Series champion Giants, Ryu told Kershaw he was nervous. It was a natural feeling, of course. Ryu was only following up Kershaw's four-hit shutout and homer on Opening Day.
Ryu passed his first test, though, going 6 1/3 innings and allowing just one earned run. He took the loss and allowed 10 hits, but Ryu struck out five against no walks and proved he was a legitimate big league starter.
Ryu won his next two outings, beating the Pirates at home and the D-backs on the road.
During a trip to the East Coast, his start against the Mets rivaled the attention he received at Dodger Stadium in his debut. Ryu responded with his best outing of the season, tossing seven innings of one-run ball with eight strikeouts.
Five days later, Ryu's start against the Rockies was overshadowed by a special guest appearance from Psy, the Korean pop star know for "Gangnam Style." Psy appeared next to the Dodgers' dugout in bottom of the fourth inning to perform his signature dance. After the game, he met Ryu on the field and they exchanged gifts and posed for pictures.
"It was pretty neat seeing a worldwide global star," Ryu said. "I realized that he's still a far bigger star than I am. I'm just going to humble myself."
Ryu struck out 12 in that outing, the most for a Dodgers rookie since Hideo Nomo in 1995. Again, the distractions didn't diminish his performance.
"It seems like he kind of likes all that," Mattingly said. "He pitched really well in New York. There was a pretty big following in New York for him. It seems like he enjoys that. He's getting a lot of attention back at home, but he seems to like it. It's nice really because then he's just kind of jacked up."
How does Ryu do it?
"He does a great job channeling his focus on the mound," Hairston said. "He does his job and he's a pro. He's been doing it for a while. He's had really good success in Korea and he knows how to pitch."
While Ryu is a fierce competitor between the lines, teammates describe him as fun-loving and energetic off the field.
"He's always smiling and laughing," Hairston said. "We have a lot of fun and even though the language thing is not perfect, baseball is a universal language. He definitely fits right in."
Still, the rest of the Dodgers will never know what it's like to walk in Ryu's shoes. But even though he can be on an island at times, his teammates do their best to ease Ryu's transition.
"He's a Dodger now, he's our teammate," catcher A.J. Ellis said. "He's not somebody from Korea who happens to pitch for us. He's a Dodger. He's with us."
While the Dodgers have welcomed Ryu with open arms, the left-hander does not forget where he came from and the people that helped him reach the big leagues.
"I talk to them very often, especially me ex-teammates and a lot of people I used to play baseball with in Korea," Ryu said. "They contact me pretty often, whether it's good or bad."
So far, it's been mostly good.

(Pocket-lint) - "The Flip is dead, long live the Sony Bloggie". Are the words probably uttered by the Sony pocket camcorder team when they heard the news earlier this year that Cisco had ditched the popular Flip camcorder.
Trying to fill the space, Sony has slowly trotted out a number of different Bloggie models that are aimed at capturing the moment via a dedicated pocket camcorder normally as good as, if not slightly better than, your mobile phone.
While that is a market that is constantly under pressure from phone cameras merely getting better, Sony hopes that you are more likely to opt for their Sony Bloggie 3D, a pocket camcorder that has two lenses on the back so you can record 3D video and capture 3D stills when you're out and about, because it's something that only a handful of phones currently offer.
Completing Sony's vision of a 3D world from creation to viewing, the Bloggie is one of the last pieces of the consumer puzzle – until Sony Ericsson launches a 3D phone. But can the Bloggie 3D recreate your 3D world? We've been testing it out to find out.
The Bloggie 3D, or MHS-FS3 to give it its more boring name, looks like any of the pocket camcorders on the market. The front is adorned with a 2.4-inch glasses-free 3D screen, a trio of buttons and the usual d-pad for navigating around the menu system. There's also a big red button for recording.
On the side you get a shutter button for still shots, a power on/off switch, and a pop out USB dongle that allows you to connect the camcorder directly to your computer without having to faff around looking for a cable.
For those looking to just enjoy the content on their 3D TV there is also an HDMI out, for which you will need a cable. Finally there is a tripod thread, to get your shots rock steady, something very important for 3D video. Sadly, there's no way of plugging in an external microphone, but then you normally can't with any of the other pocket camcorders on the market either.
Around the back are two Sony f2.8-f4.1 autofocus lenses and an LED light for when it comes to filming in low light conditions. Inside and you get 8GB of storage space to store all your movies and photos.
Shooting and watching 3D
The Bloggie 3D is capable of recording 3D 1920x1080p MP4 HD video with 2 megapixel still images.
3D video is saved as MP4 files which are the most widely used and readable files in the world of 3D at the moment. To record the third dimension, it's simply a case of pressing the button. You can switch between 2D and 3D quickly, although not while filming.
Filming in 3D does come with plenty of limitations. The zoom functionality is turned off, you can only shoot stills at 2 megapixel in a 16:9 aspect (the camera supports up to 5 megapixels in 2D) and film 3D footage at 1080/30p (Full HD). In fact you really only get the chance to turn that LED on, or set the timer to delay the start of the recording by either two or 10 seconds.
In 3D filming you will get around 80 minutes worth of recording space and the battery does well to keep up with that.
Of course the beauty of the Bloggie 3D is that not only can it record in 3D, but you can also watch the footage you've recorded back, in 3D, then and there, rather than having to hunt down a 3D television.
The screen works like the LG Optimus 3D, the HTC EVO 3D, and the Nintendo 3DS. You have to align your eyes in the right position to see the 3D effect.The viewing angle is surprisingly very good though and means you can move the camcorder -or your head- around without losing the effect. This isn't the case with devices like the HTC EVO 3D. The screen isn't fantastic in bright sunlight, especially if you are hoping to see the 3D effect, however it's not a complete waste of time either.
Shooting and watching 2D
While Sony will have you believe that 3D is the future, it's not the only option, or the only way. The Bloggie 3D can also do 2D recording as well. With 2D your capturing choices get a little wider. Aside from a 4x digital zoom and face detection (up to 8 faces), you get 5, 3, or .04-megapixel shooting modes for stills.
For video you get more shooting resolutions as well. There's 1080/30p, 720/60p, 720/30p, and 270/30p. Although 720/60p is a standard HD resolution -more common in the US than here, it also has uses for slow motion video, as you can post-produce video to 50% of the original speed.
For users hoping for creative control, it's worth pointing out that there is no manual white balance or manual focus options. This really is a point and shoot camera, aimed at people who want to be able to easily shoot 3D.
Recording times at the highest settings are 80 minutes for 1080/30p footage working their way up to 240 minutes for 720/30p footage.
As for actual video quality, it is good. Colours are accurate, there is little noise and the results are pleasant rather than stunning. Movement is also crisp.
To get the best results out of 3D filming you need to have a completely different shooting mind set, and that's going to be one of the biggest barriers here in creating decent 3D video or decent 3D stills. Once you've worked that out, artistically, you can start to make the most of the Bloggie 3D and its capabilities.
The good thing is that in all our recordings the Bloggie 3D didn't get in the way. It's small, easily pocket-able, and when it comes to recording, easy to fire up and get on with the task at hand without the need to worry about settings or manual control.
Picture quality is what you would expect from a device like this. You aren't going to be able to make the next Sundance hit, but at the same time it's a decent pocket camcorder that gives you 1080p 2D and 3D recording. And chances are, it's better than your mobile phone.
The main reason for getting the Bloggie 3D is of course the 3D. And when it comes to letting you produce that, the pocket camcorder works, and works well for the price. Whether it's 2D or 3D the camera works in the same way. You can playback your footage on the small screen, or plug it into a computer or TV.
Sony has showed that 3D filming or watching needn't be hard or difficult and for 3D fans that can only be a good thing.

DOE A to Z: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
This information has been preserved for historical purposes. It is not current.
The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) is a consortium of states that collaboratively developed a common set of assessments to measure student achievement and preparedness for college and careers.
The Common Core State Standards are an internationally benchmarked set of standards for English Language Arts Literacy and mathematics that place all students, regardless of geographic location or socio-economic status, on the same course towards college and career readiness. "
Paul Rafalowski, Curriculum Coordinator for South Plainfield Schools
The PARCC assessments are aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and were created to measure students' ability to apply their knowledge of concepts rather than memorizing facts. The PARCC assessments require students to solve problems using mathematical reasoning and to be able to model mathematical principles. In English Language Arts (ELA), students will be required to closely read multiple passages and to write essay responses in literary analysis, research tasks and narrative tasks. The assessments will also provide teachers information on student progress to inform instruction and provide targeted student support.
In 2014-2015, the PARCC assessments will replace the existing statewide assessments, the NJASK in grades 3-8 and HSPA in high school. New Jersey has been transitioning the NJ ASK to measure the CCSS over the past three years to provide local districts and schools the time necessary to shift practices and prepare students and educators for PARCC, which will measure the CCSS with fidelity in 2014-2015.
Additional information about the PARCC assessment is available through the PARCC website, including:

Editor's note: Allan Imes was supposed to speak at Merritt Taylor's funeral but was suffering from kidney stones on the day of the services. This is what he planned to say.
I still remember the first time I saw Merritt Taylor. It was August 1954 and I was reporting for a two week football camp coach Otis Weaver had started. Gordon had dropped college level football. Col. C.T.B. "Bud" Harris was hired as president of Gordon Military College and he wanted a football team. Weaver was hired as head coach. Coach Weaver went on a recruiting rampage that drew boys from all over the South to Barnesville.

WEATHER: Chilly, windy.
MILES THIS WEEK: Erm….13ish.
WHERE TO: Thus far? Barely a block from home today.
MOOD: Fragile in body, lazy in spirit. Also kind of itchy.
Nothing in my body is quite back to any sort of normalcy yet since last weekend. It took a whole three days before I could stand up or sit down without vocalizing. My walk was particularly pitiful-looking, so much so that my editor at work told me on Monday that, instead of me going to talk to him in his office when he hollered for me (for my workplace is the apex of professionalism), we could just yell across the hall to each other.
As it stands right now, running again is still tough. I know, I know; I had planned on a luxurious month or so of doing anything but running post-race. Biking! Power-walking! Jazzercising! 1980s Jane Fonda aerobics videos! Shakeweights! Learning to play the theremin! Calming the house thermostat wars! Working on my issues with relatively innocuous words like "naughty," "fungible," and "hosiery"!

Hull Maritime Museum
Founded in 1912 the Maritime Museum moved to the old Dock Offices in 1974. The Dock Offices were formerly the home of the Hull Dock Company until 1893, when North Eastern Railway took over the running of the docks.
The shareholders' Court Room, now used for temporary exhibitions, is a highly decorated piece of Victorian architecture. The room has a frieze of cherubs displaying the coats of arms of the European cities that Hull traded with.
Hull dominated the Arctic whaling trade in the early nineteenth century and there is an outstanding collection of whaling artefacts. This includes skeletons of the whales themselves, the tools and weapons, as well as personalia, journals and logbooks. There are fine contemporary paintings of the ships and the largest collection of scrimshaw (the folk art of the whaler) on this side of the Atlantic.
The museum also tells the story of the city's involvement in fishing, initially in the North Sea and then out to Norway, Iceland and Greenland, with models ranging from small cobles and smacks to the huge modern stern trawlers. From the Middle Ages the core of Hull's trade was with the Baltic and Scandinavia. The Wilson Line, founded in 1831, began trading by importing iron ore from Sweden but by 1903 was the biggest privately-owned shipping company in the world.
The transition from sail to steam is exemplified by models and decorative arts (glass, pottery and silver). Throughout there are examples of the paintings by outstanding local marine artists such as John Ward and Henry Redmore.
Part of the Designated Collections of national importance relating to the city and region of Kingston upon Hull are on display here.
Venue Type:
Museum, Ship or maritime heritage site
Mon-Sat : 10.00-16.30

Werner, Shirk bury the hatchet publicly
Editor's note: The following story was corrected from its original version.
City Manager Larry Werner and Supervisor Jim Shirk on Thursday smoothed over their public flare-up, which occurred at the May 2 Carson City Board of Supervisors meeting.
"I crossed the line of acceptable public civility," said Werner, addressing the board from the public forum podium as soon as public comment was sought Thursday morning. "I'm embarrassed and I am sorry."
Shirk said he accepted Werner's apology as the two shook hands.
The controversy developed during a recess late on May 2 after the board had dealt with the contentious issue of a lease for continuing operation of the Eagle Valley Golf Course complex.
Reportedly, Werner said he might or would throw Shirk out of City Hall after Shirk made comments about staff handling of lease issues, the hiring of a deputy city manager and asserted he would say whatever he pleased in meetings. The flap carried over when the meeting resumed, with Shirk saying he felt threatened, but none of the particulars were discussed in Thursday.
