Event Name- OR - Select an option below
http://www.minneapoliseagles34.org Visualize a nice-sized ballroom, a smaller event and meeting space, a game room, and a full bar, all separated by your typical accordion-style wood doors. Imagine a stuffed eagle, pull tabs machine, 151-infused cherries at three for a buck, bands, bingo, karaoke, square dancing, a long bar lit by Tiffany-style lamps... and a notice board posting the most recent deaths, sicknesses and nursing home stays of members. Ponder a world without fraternal organizations (and the awesome bars they maintain) if the younger generation doesn't join up. Consider all this, and the next time you're in Seward visit Eagles Club #34 to enjoy affordable drinks, a full menu, and entertainment ranging from cover bands to karaoke. More >>

The club's vibrant, brightly-colored decor and pop-art futurism -- not to mention its elaborate sound system -- complement the repertoire's heavy emphasis on pop, hip hop and electronic dance shows.

"It is not enough for theory to describe and analyze, it must itself be an event in the universe it describes. In order to do this theory must partake of and become the acceleration of this logic. It must tear itself from all referents and take pride only in the future. Theory must operate on time at the cost of a deliberate distortion of present reality."

Would you translate (or spread) a TED talk if you didn't agree with it's topic or the speaker's point of view?
I think, I've said it all in the title.
Would you translate a TED talk even if you did not agree with it? Do you think that people will feel you agree if they see your name written next to it?
Would you be willing to spread ideas, even if you did not agree with them?

May 4 2012: Absolutely YES for what dose politics do in general? We see a point then we argue it and come to a conclusion. No wonder this world looks like a hole big dictatorship full of trolls to squash anything not in-tunes with the powers that spread such nonsense in my point of view of course. To think ones own thoughts are correct without fully understanding where how what when the person persons it came from In any manner is to deny yourself of understanding therefore doing both the world and self injustice. If I say I am in pain then believe me I am in pain. just because someone says well I am not dose not take away that persons pain in realty. I tend to stick with you are right before I but in this instance of said topic I find the thoughts disturbing on a personal basis. Maybe at 36 years of age I still have not had enough brainwashing but hay who am I anyway! Evolving times change minds? Well in 2000 years I only se backward steps with everyone thinking they are somewhat separated to the rest! This may be truer these days than ever before. Can you see a problem?

The past several years of my life have been building up to a three and a half hour stretch of time this morning from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm: my interviews for full ordination as a United Methodist elder. I have anticipated this moment with dread, paranoid about getting torpedoed by someone with a chip on their shoulders over one of my blog posts. What actually happened was I sat in a room with human beings who love God, who pray, who have made mistakes and learned from them, and who genuinely seemed to want the best for me and for our church. They not only took seriously their duty to evaluate my effectiveness in ministry but also acted the way that pastors are supposed to act in making me feel loved and safe in their presence. I don't want to diminish the legitimately troubling experiences that other pastors have had in the ordination process. Neither do I want to minimize the injustices in our church. But experiencing the peace of the Holy Spirit when I expected to face a firing squad, God put it on my heart to say to my fellow Methodists that I think we're going to be okay.
I am the bread of life (#sermon #podcast)
Last Sunday morning, I preached on Jesus' statement "I am the bread of life." I looked at the three things that we gain from feasting on Jesus, which happen to be three words that we have for the sacred meal that we share as Christians: communion with God and each other, a life of eucharist (thanksgiving) and worship, and a sacramental appreciation of God's transcendent fingerprints in all of creation. Please subscribe to the podcast if you want to get the sermon audio automatically sent to you.
Eucharist is how Jesus makes love to His church
Hear me out; I'm not trying to be offensive. Several weeks ago, I listened to a podcast from Bruxy Cavey in which he said that we need to reclaim the phrase making love. We shouldn't be offended by talking about sex; we should be offended by the desecration of sex. I preached one of the worst sermons I've ever preached this past Saturday because I couldn't muster the courage to come out and say directly what I felt called to say: that Eucharist is to the church what sex is to a marriage. Living without either is about equally bearable. Continue Reading
Is communion intellectual property?
I learned a hard lesson today. Some of you saw my post where I had developed a contemporary version of our United Methodist communion liturgy Word and Table and recorded it on my iPhone. A friend informed me that there was a copyright issue with doing that, so I wrote the United Methodist Publishing House and was promptly ordered to take down the video and the blog post. I'm not meaning to be snarky, but wow, communion liturgy is intellectual property? Continue Reading
Eternal life is living in God's welcome
This week's Journey to Eternity sermon is about welcome. The word welcome is one way you could summarize God's mission to humanity through Christ. Jesus eliminates any obstacle to our welcome at God's heavenly feast through the sacrifice of His body on the cross. For our sermon text, I looked at Luke 19:1-10, the story of Zacchaeus, in which Zacchaeus is saved from his sins not by being chastised or argued into a corner, but through Jesus inviting himself over for lunch. The sermon audio and manuscript are both below.

Sarah Moon and unmerciful #universalism
A week ago, ex-evangelical blogger Sarah Moon wrote a post titled: "When my abuser is welcome at the table, I am not," taking aim at the presumptuousness with which some progressive Christians champion a table where everyone is welcome. A friend had told Moon that she should be grateful Jesus died for the man who raped her and she should accept him as her fellow forgiven sinner. Though Moon wasn't necessarily writing about life after death, the pain she shares illustrates the problem with universalism. Wouldn't God be lacking in mercy for the victims of abuse to force them to spend eternity in communion with their abusers? Continue Reading
James KA Smith summarizes the battle of the 21st century
I've just started reading James KA Smith's new book Imagining the Kingdom. Smith's basic argument is that our actions are not really based on conscious rational choices but rather on how ritual behaviors have caused us to imagine the world around us. Most Christian thinkers from the beginning have unconsciously bought into a Platonic "rationalist" conception of human nature in which our behavior is supposed to be regulated by our conscious rationality, and the fact that it isn't reflects our fallenness rather than a condition innate to our humanity.

Jesus inside the beltway: Glocalization and relationship-rooted causes
On the last day of our GBCS young clergy leadership forum, we learned the term "glocalization." It's actually not an affirmation of the activist world cliche that we should "think globally and act locally." The problem is precisely that we too often think about activism in global terms instead of local ones. Activism that is understood in kingdom terms should always seek as localized a form as possible even if it occurs over a distance that is global. Let me explain. Continue Reading
Is Jesus saving the world from us?
Is Jesus saving the world from us? It's a different way to talk about salvation, but honestly it's the gospel that I'm hoping to be true as an evangelical afflicted by what Rachel Held Evans calls "the scandal of the evangelical heart." When did we become the Pharisees Jesus came to Earth to stop us from being? How many of us have been secretly asking that question in our minds? How many of us need to be saved from a toxic salvation? I really feel that we are in the midst of a great awakening. The legion of demons that poisoned our gospel for so long is running off a cliff in a herd of hateful pigs, leaving us to wake up in the graveyard where we chained ourselves. We are discovering that Satan is our accuser and oppressor, not God. We are realizing that our need to be right and justify ourselves has kept us inside a tomb whose stone was rolled away by Jesus. So I wanted to share five things God has been teaching me over the past few years about what Jesus saves us from and what He saves us for. Continue Reading
Seven chapters, new title for Mercy Not Sacrifice
I have reduced my book to seven chapters and have given it a new title: Mercy Not Sacrifice: Salvation for Recovering Evangelicals. It may be too bold; I almost feel like checking the sky above me for lightning. My brother John Meunier had challenged me to come up with a unifying theme, and last night in Bible study we read about Zacchaeus where Jesus says, "Salvation has come to this house." So it hit me this morning that there's one question that evangelicals think we know the answer to but really ought to step back and reconsider: What is salvation? I propose 7 answers.

China's One-Child Policy Examined
Posted on | January 10, 2012 by Lisa Correnti |
A recent article by Matt Soniak, examines how China enforces its one-child policy, which varies based on wealth, ethnicity and geographic provinces. Soniaks writes that the one-child policy was implemented in 1979 to reverse a burgeoning population somewhat due to the Mao government banning birth control as a means to establish China as a superpower.
The author gives a very whitewashed version of how the program is monitored through local provincial authority. There is no mention of the serious human rights abuses inflicted on those who violate the one-child policy; forced abortions and sterilizations, beatings, loss of wages, or that there are 400 million fewer people in China since the program began.
The Chinese governments intention of reducing the population to 1.2 billion by the year 2000 was rather successful. Their 2000 census showed 1.29 billion people.
There have been recent reports that the one-child policy may be relaxed to allow two children per family. Advertisements have begun popping up throughout the country picturing families with two children.
And why you ask for the change, could it be the government is finally responding to international pressure? Hardly. The young labor pool in China is shrinking.
A recent Bloomberg article explains:
After expanding 2.5 percent a year over the past three decades, China's working-age population has almost stopped growing, said Richard Jackson, director of the Global Aging Initiative at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. That pool will contract almost 1 percent a year by the mid-2020s, he said.
The number of 15- to 24-year-olds, who staff the factories that make cheap clothes, toys and electronics, will fall by almost 62 million, to 164 million, in the 15 years through 2025, UN projections show. Meanwhile, those over 65 will rise 78 percent to 195 million.
The positive contribution that came from an expanding workforce in China will turn negative in 2013, wiping at least half a percentage point off the potential annual growth rate, according to Wang Feng, a director of the Brookings-Tsinghua Center for Public Policy in Beijing.
"China's shooting itself in the foot" with the one-child policy, said Wang. "It needs to think of ways to encourage young couples to have more children."
Jackson says unless China prepares for the aging of its population "a retirement crisis of immense proportions looms just over the horizon in the 2020s." "On the current course, tens of millions of Chinese are on track to reach old age without pensions, without health care, and without family support networks," he said.

Dave Jilk, my partner in Feld Technologies, recently dug up a bunch of old stuff. I blogged one of the documents recently - The Simple Formal Beginnings Of Feld Technologies - and have a few other fun ones coming.
Today, let's look at another example of a contract that we signed in the context of "keeping it simple." Over the seven years we were in business, we used a very simple form we referred to as a "Professional Services Agreement." This was the document that we signed with almost all of our clients. Every now and then we had to deal with something more complicated, but even large companies typically were willing to sign this agreement in 1990.
Over the life of Feld Technologies, we were never sued. We had our share of difficult client situations and were fired a few times, but were always direct and straightforward in how we dealt with stuff. We tried to always keep it at a business level and have a personal relationship with our clients so that when projects got into a difficult place, we could get together and work them out directly. And even when the answer was to part ways, we were always graceful about it.
The PSA shown above is our standard, but listing us as the client and MaK Technologies as the vendor. I believe it's the first piece of business for MaK Technologies, a company co-founded by my long time and close friend Warren Katz. Dave and I met Warren through his wife Ilana, who was the employee #7 at Feld Technologies.
One of our clients was Monitor Company, at the time a young but very rapidly growing consulting firm in Cambridge. They used a bunch of Sun Workstations for all of their presentations (this was in the time of Harvard Graphics – well before the ubiquity of PowerPoint – which was completely inadequate for what they did). Instead, they used the Sun's and Interleaf running on Unix. While we had a lot of hardware and networking expertise, we didn't do anything with Unix (we were all about DOS and Novell Netware) so we subcontracted Warren's company to help us with the Unix stuff at Monitor.
Warren and I have done many things together – some that have worked and some that haven't. Twenty-two years later we still do business with a handshake. Warren has a great chapter about this in Do More Faster. Remember – keep it simple.
I have 2,143 lawyer jokes queued up. Here's a good one:
The devil visited a lawyer's office and made him an offer. "I can arrange some things for you, " the devil said. "I'll increase your income five-fold. Your partners will love you; your clients will respect you; you'll have four months of vacation each year and live to be a hundred. All I require in return is that your wife's soul, your children's souls, and their children's souls rot in hell for eternity." The lawyer thought for a moment. "What's the catch?" he asked.
Now some of my good friends are lawyers and several of my very best friends are ex-lawyers. You probably know one of them – my partner at Foundry Group – Jason Mendelson. When Jason started his blog, he made the wise choice of starting a series titled Law Firm 2.0. His first post – Why Start-up Lawyers Frustrate Me – pissed off all of his lawyer friends, generated 54 comments, and was reprinted all over the place. Not a bad start for a blog.
He continued posting about Law Firm 2.0. One day he was approached by some interesting folks at a company called FirstDocs who shared a lot of similar ideas. You can read about it more in Jason's post Our Investment in Law Firm 2.0. The outcome, as you might expect, is that we closed an investment in FirstDocs at the end of last year.
Now, we usually do not invest in companies aimed at vertical markets. However, we make exceptions when we have extremely deep domain knowledge and expertise. In addition, we view having past success as a bonus, such as our previous experience in the legal vertical market with Stratify (which Iron Mountain acquired in 2007.)
A lawyer died and arrived at the pearly gates. To his dismay, there were thousands of people ahead of him in line to see St. Peter. But, to his surprise, St. Peter left his desk at the gate and came down the long line to where the lawyer was standing. St. Peter greeted him warmly. Then St. Peter and one of his assistants took the lawyer by the hands and guided him up to the front of the line into a comfortable chair by his desk. The lawyer said, "I don't mind all this attention, but what makes me so special?" St. Peter replied, "Well, I've added up all the hours for which you billed your clients, and by my calculation you must be about 193 years old!" (ahajokes)
I look forward to seeing Jason, Dan Gaffney, and the team at FirstDocs increase the efficiency of lawyers.

Trotter's Den HostelChisinau, Moldova
i came here at the last minute because upon arriving I learned that the Chisinau Hostel had closed down. I quickly found this place and settled in wihttout any problems. I residents and staff were faultless and the place is homely while being flexible enough to cater to as many people as possible. It's location is very central and i really can't think of any problem I've had at this place. I've packed my bags, checked out and am now getting ready to go to Cluj with a touch of sadness.....
Bazikalo HostelLviv, Ukraine
Excellent little hostel. Cute and quaint and right in the heart of the city. Staff are helpful and interested in helping with anything a person may want: taxis, information, etc. The place is quiet, easy to relax in and the Internet quality is good but there is washing machine! Generally good and well recommended!
Funny Dolphin HostelSevastopol, Ukraine
Firstly, this place isnt a hostel in the normal sense of the word. It's a flat, and when you enter, there's no counter or help desk. The owners live elsewhere, and visit as often as there are visitors. The more people staying the more visits. Generally they are friendly and try to be as helpful as possible, although the lady has a better grasp of English than the man (Yuri). Washing clothes is quite expensice, but the kitchen as reasonably good facilities and the itnernet is stable.
Lafa HostelOdessa, Ukraine
One of the best hostels I've stayed in. It's homely, friendly, and the staff are wonderful. The location is perfect and the building is typical of Odessa - it's classy and elegant. The staff really are wonderful though. They work 24hours and are always helpful and cooperative. They are always ready to help with bookings and make calls on your behalf which is really nice. The bathroom is nice (but there's only one) and the wifi is free and stable.
Hostel PletnevskyKharkov, Ukraine
Cute, cosy, well-located. The staff are friendly and helpful. Good internet, and good use of kitchen and cooking facilities.
Chisinau HostelChisinau, Moldova
A great little place. I can't recommend it more. The staff are helpful and wonderful and the location good - right next to a massive mall, and within easy reach of so much (Chisinau isn't so big).
The Cozyness Downtown HostelBucharest, Romania
Faultless. Smiles, friendiness, cosyiness guaranteed. Marius speaks excellent English and is very smart. There are good washing facilities, and the place is homely and snug, NOT big and institutional. There are only two toilets hoever so there can be quiet, informal queues. The wireless speed is good and there shouldn't be any problem for those needing to work while traveling. 3G is also quite cheap in Romania. Breakfast option at the hostel would be good. This is the only complaint.
Hostel Old PlovdivPlovdiv, Bulgaria
Cute, relaxing and flawless service. Zero criticisms.

Istanbul HostelIstanbul, Turkey
A decent enough place where I could go to again should I ever go back to Istanbul. It's well located & the staff are helpful. The breakfast was ok too. I stayed in the large dorm & generally found the place friendly & hospitable. It can cold down there in the winter and the place needs shelves and hooks for extra comfort. The feelings down there is slightly dungeon like, but I didn't mind that. I found the place good for meeting people and spoke to some fascinating people down there.
Jordan Tower HostelAmman, Jordan
An excellent place to stay because the staff here are really wonderful. They are friendly, talkative and really help to make a person's stay worthful and informed AND notably courteous. The breakfast is excellent too and the staff are always ready and willing to offer more. I do however have one complain (which may not affect most people): THE INTERNET situation here is a joke. There's definetely a router and a strong signal, but the speed is positively 3rd world.

Fauzi Azar InnNazareth, Israel
A wonderful hostel experience. The staff quietly, patiently and courteously do everything expected to make this place as homely and comforting as possible. The price may look steep to budget travellers, but the breakfast is good and generous, with subtle variations every morning, and with free tea & coffee and cake when ever it's wanted the cost is not as steep as it's looks on the surface. There are laundry facilities and a free tour every morning too which gives a general view of the town.
Abraham Hostel JerusalemJerusalem, Israel
This place is big and although it has all the facilites you'd want from a hostel, the size does make it slightly impersonal compared to other more homely places I've known. Other than that it's difficult to find any fault with the place. The breakfast is ok (the muesli's slightly toooo sugary though ....) Internet is ok, with 4 choices of routers. I'll end on a piece of pedantry: Child sacrifier Abe wasn't the first backpacker, Gilgamesh was. The Babylonian texts are older than the Hebrew ones.
Florentine Backpackers HostelTel Aviv, Israel
A Great place to stay. Friendly, calm, relaxing. Exactly what a hostel should be.
Gordon InnTel Aviv, Israel
Excellent breakfast but the lounge is tiny and it's not easy to talk to people in this place. Good location though and although it costs more than other hostels, the breakfast more than explains this. Decent but don't expect to able to socialise too much.
Corinne HostelEilat, Israel
Please do not be seduced by the low price & location because this place has hidden costs. The hosts are utterly unsuited to dealing with guests and clearly hate their jobs. The atmosphere's surreal, like something from a creepy film & I witnessed a German guest being shouted at for practising his violin at 4pm in his room (hardly a noise sensitive time). I was myself asked to leave for no other reason than I politely asked if the TV could be turned down! A good choice only if you like rudeness!
Dahab DormsDahab, Egypt
I wanted to stay much longer in Dahab to explore the mountains but had to leave prematurely because internet in Egypt is not so good. The staff here are excellent and courteous and the breakfast a real treat. The place is beautiful and well kept. I can't imagine anyone having any problems here at all!
B&B CalamattaRome, Italy
Excellent location and well run. Breakfast service isn't so great - even if you get used to going round the corner to a local cafe, there is no menu or list of options and we just ended up having sugary snacks every morning which wasn't ideal.

So… most people that follow me or read my blog at all know that Leela was born prematurely. I started having preterm labor at 29 weeks and had to take medications to prevent early onset of labor (procardia and brethine). I was in the hospital twice to stop labor because I developed extrinsic obstructive renal failure from my uterine positioning. Many renal complications during pregnancy can cause uterine contractions, preterm labor, or miscarriage in early pregnancy. Unfortunately, after the second kidney operation, I had premature rupture of membranes and had Leela 6-7 weeks premature. She spent two weeks in the NICU because she had poor control over her blood sugar levels and required a continuous IV dextrose infusion to prevent hypoglycemia, as well as feeding support due to an undeveloped suck-swallow-breathe reflex. She also required bililights for her elevated bilirubin levels.
The March of Dimes has named today (November 17) World Prematurity Day to help bring awareness to premature birth and prevention measures against it. Many of the causes of premature births are still unknown and the March of Dimes has launched a major research initiative into the causes. You can go to their website to make a donation for this cause.
You can also buy a kangaroo doll. You'll receive one an another one will go to a family with a baby in the NICU to help promote kangaroo care. Here's the website for anyone interested:

Russia nears Olympic team figure skating gold
Sochi, Russian Federation (4E Sports) – Russia moved closer to becoming the first winner of the Olympic team figure skating after topping the short program and the pairs free skate in Saturday's first round.
Russia emerged with 47 points. Canada was second with 41, followed by the United States with 34, Italy with 31 and Japan with 30 under the scoring system employed for this first-ever Olympic event.
Eight separate routines are skated as part of the competition, which began with 10 nations chasing the medals. Ten points are awarded for first place in each of the routines, nine points are given for second place and on down the line.
After the men's, ladies, pairs and ice dancing short programs, the 10 countries were cut to five.
Yulia Lipnitskaya ruled the last of the short programs before Kesnia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov ruled the pairs free skate as Russia has won three of the five skating sessions thus far.
Long routines are left to be skated by the men and ladies, along with one in ice dancing. Since a country can make up no more than four points in any of those, Russia could clinch the gold medal before the final routine is skated Sunday night.
The first round of action in this event came Thursday and at the end of that evening the United States was in danger of missing the midway cut.
The Americans found themselves in a three-way tie for fifth going into Saturday's skating, but ice dancing stars Meryl Davis and Charlie White came through with a first-place finish to lift the Americans into third place and in good shape for at least a bronze medal.

Today marks the official start of Burberry's new Facebook sampling campaign with its latest fragrance, simply called Burberry Body. Not friends with Burberry online? Not to worry. The floral, woody, amber eau hits stores September 1. [WWD]
In other designer fragrance news, after debuting Esprit d'Oscar in the spring, Oscar de la Renta is launching its first, totally new fragrance since getting its beauty license back last year. Live in Love, a green floral, takes its name directly from a tattoo on the arm of the chief of the house's atelier and utilizes the old-school method of illustrated fragrance ads. [WWD]
In addition to coming out against plastic surgery, Kate Winslet is working on another big beauty move: a curated makeup line with Lancôme to benefit her charity the Golden Hat Foundation, which helps improve the lives of autistic children. [Independent]
What does it take to keep Britney Spears' complexion flawless and her tousled hair grease-free as she writhes her way through a two-hour show? Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation, its HD MicroFinish powder, and a few spritzes of Bumble and Bumble's Dry Shampoo. [Allure]
The latest launch from STRANGEBEAUTIFUL, a nail polish brand with a knack for the pretty and obscure, includes shades called A Worn Black Bible (a soft black) and Gradation of a Bruise (a warm purple). Perhaps unshockingly, the colors are pretty true to the mental images their names evoke. [StyleList]

Watch Larry Pratt debate Piers Morgan on Gun Control. I should emphasize that Larry Pratt was debating Piers Morgan while it would appear that Morgan just wanted a pro-gun punching bag for the duration of his segment. You already know who will win but you should watch this video so you can see the type of horrible person Piers Morgan is when Pratt completely blows his argument out of the water. The ad hominem begins at about 4:40 with Morgan calling Pratt "an unbelievably stupid man" to which Pratt responds by calling Morgan "morally obtuse."
I didn't realize how big of a douche Piers Morgan is.

Microsoft's Skype purchase gets the EC green light.
The European Commission's antitrust authorities have given Microsoft's $8.5 billion Skype acquisition regulatory clearance. So now it's all systems go for Microsoft to integrate Skype into its product line.
EU regulatory clearance was announced on October 7 — just a couple of weeks after an Italian Skype rival raised concerns over Microsoft's bundling plans for the technology. U.S. antitrust authorities already granted their approval of Microsoft's Skype buy in June, 2011.
Skype has continued operating as an independent entity since Microsoft announced its purchase intentions in May 2011, (Skype will operate its own Microsoft business unit, according to Microsoft's previously announced plans.) However, Microsoft has been working behind the scenes to lay the groundwork for the Microsoftization of Skype.

Skype provides a lot more functions than Windows Messenger, especially their video calls and 'telephone' calls. I wonder whether the cost of making telephone calls to land-lines and cell phones will increase or decrease when Skype is taken over by Microsoft. I remember, in the early days of Skype when calls made to land-line phones were virtually free, and calls to cell phone were very, very inexpensive. You could call anywhere in the world for almost nothing. Not so any more, but it's still cheaper to use Skype, to call other countries, than pretty much any other phone service.
By the way, for anyone who's interested, most VOIP phone companies include unlimited USA national and international calling to many countries for a very low price (in the neighborhood of $20/month).
Check out Vonage VoIP Phone Service and Lingo - Home Telephone Service. But I still use my Skype to call those countries that are not covered by Vonage or Lingo.

Chickens in Literature: THE JOKE ABOUT CHICKENS by Wyatt Williams
1. thoroughly enjoyed this article last week. never got around to posting it up on PIM and all hail the reblog.
2. there is a TUMBLR called CHICKEN IN LIT!

The battle for a Nevada Senate seat brought both Senator Dean Heller and Congresswoman Shelley Berkley to Reno Thursday.
Medicare was one hot topic in both camps-- the two candidates have been sparring over their stances on the subject in speeches and interviews.
Berkley claims that Heller would "dismantle" the program by voting for the Ryan budget plan, while Heller claims that Berkley is the only candidate in the Senate race who would make cuts to Medicare.
"He's got rock-solid votes that say that's what he's going to do," Berkley said in an interview with Channel 2, "and the result of his vote is that we would end Medicare as we know it, turn it over to private insurance companies."
"Clearly, none of that is true," Heller responded, when asked by Channel 2 reporters. "In fact, it was her that voted for $700 billion in cuts to Medicare and giving those cuts to Obamacare."
Heller spoke at a campaign rally in south Reno Thursday alongside Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who flew in to campaign on Heller's behalf.
Heller emphasized that voters should choose a Republican ticket, because he says the country needs to move in a different direction.
On Wednesday, Berkley made a stop in the Biggest Little City as part of her "Proud to Protect Medicare and Social Security" tour. She told the crowd that Medicare and Social Security are two programs the country can't afford to lose, and that voting Republican would jeopardize them.
When each candidate was asked why he or she deserves the votes of undecided Nevadans, these were their responses:
"In every room, whether it's in southern Nevada or northern Nevada, it is standing room only, because we need a new direction for this country," Heller said. "We need a new direction. What's going on in Washington, DC today is not working."
"I know nobody knows the issues better than I do," Berkley said. "Nobody works harder than I do, and nobody fights harder for her constituents than I do. I think those are characteristics that the people of Nevada appreciate."
Berkley continues her tour with a stop in Las Vegas Friday. Heller and Rubio attended an event at Lake Tahoe Thursday night.

Demand the Senate Judiciary Committee Investigate DEA Abuse of Daniel Chong
Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Senator Patrick Leahy:
On April 21st, the Drug Enforcement Agency raided a 4/20 party at the University of California at San Diego, arresting 23-year-old Daniel Chong and others who had been smoking marijuana.
But after questioning Daniel, DEA agents abandoned him in a cell, handcuffed, without food and water for 5 days straight. Daniel was forced to drink his own urine and even attempted suicide.
The DEA's reprehensible treatment of Daniel Chong almost cost him his life and deserves intense scrutiny.
We, the undersigned, demand the Senate Judiciary Committee investigate how Daniel could have been so abused by the DEA and hold accountable all those responsible.

In the wake of Microsoft's recent Xbox One controversy, everyone seems to be struggling to answer the same question: Will the PlayStation 4 block used games? Luckily for us, Sony has been kind enough to dole out some helpful information on the subject. As it turns out, the company has managed to sidestep any potential media backlash, and the PS4, it's announced, will allow for the restriction-less sharing and trading of disc-based games. This news was communicated at Sony's E3 conference last night, but the company has put together a short PSA to explain exactly how their new system will work. Here it is:

when there are laws with consequences that attempt to force you to change the way you think about the perversion of homosexuality and make it illegal to protect yourself from it, then if you openly voice your opinion or try to keep yourself from being molested by using force, you do go to jail more times than not. Being gay is not cool, it is an abomination and a sin. We do not accept it and no matter who tells you , you are okay. You are NOT okay if you are gay.

Call 215-248-8800
Don't give census answers to anyone wearing a toga!
Hi, I'm John Q. Publique (aka Jim Harris), director of the 2010 census, or as we like to call it, "An April Fool's Snapshot of America."
You have probably already received our postcard indicating that you will soon be receiving the census form, as well as the mailing containing the census form itself, and the subsequent correspondence stating that you really need to fill out the damn thing right now. (Don't worry, we don't have to pay postage.) And now, I'm here to help you complete your questionnaire.
But first, some fun census facts: The earliest known census, scrawled on a cave wall in what is now Lascaux, France, recorded 12 Neanderthals, three Homo sapiens and two amphibious bipeds. A subsequent census on a nearby wall depicted no amphibians, 12 dead Neanderthals and 4,107 Homo sapiens.
In ancient Rome, census takers roamed the countryside, counting each person and then lopping off one of their fingers so as not to count them again.
The census began in the U.S. in 1790, counting 3.9 million "free white males and females." Among the questions they were asked was "Do you have health insurance through an HMO?"
In 1870, the responses from 38 million Americans were tabulated by a rudimentary tallying machine that used porcupine quills to count people.(Census taker was considered the country's most dangerous job because the porcupines did not give up their quills without a fight.)
In 2010, all of the responses from our 309 million citizens will be uploaded to an ultra-high performance mega-computer, where the information will immediately be hacked into by Russian mobsters and sold on the black market.
OK, now let's begin. As you know, the government is sitting on a huge pile of money that we are required by law to give away, and we need you, the people, to line up in order — neediest first — to get your fair share. Please, no pushing or butting in to the front of the line.
In order to properly obtain our "snapshot of America," we need you to remain in place for 24 hours on April 1. Do not eat or drink after 6 p.m. the night before, and inform any guests you have that they will not be allowed to leave the house until April 2.
The process is easy. On the "day of," just jot down the name, age, race and gender (if known) of every human being in your residence. Do not record people who are dead, hiding, imaginary or invisible. Do not record pets, even if they wear clothes or have human names.
Be sure not to skip question 8: "Are you not of Hispanic origin?" Take note that "yes" means "no" and "no" means "yes." Also answer yes or no to question 8a: "Do you have no bananas?"
As to question 9: "What is your race?" you will see that you may check more than one box for that answer. Please note that, because of a compromise deal struck with Republican lawmakers, 42 new categories of "white" have been added to counterbalance the growing number of non-white classifications. These include, "white-friendly," "not quite white" and "white in a previous lifetime." If you need to use additional paper to elucidate the extent of your whiteness, please do so.
It has come to our attention that rumors are circulating to the effect that filling out the census form could result in an IRS or Immigration agent showing up at your door. Perhaps this has been mistakenly inferred from questions 45: "Have you ever cheated on your taxes," 45a: "Can you give a specific example" and 46: "When did you sneak in from Mexico?"
Let me state unequivocally that, like all government agencies, we do not share any information with any other government agency. We also keep all of your filled-out questionnaires locked up in the same secure underground bunker in Nebraska where high-ranking government officials hide in times of crisis.
You may notice a few new optional checkboxes at the bottom of the form — one to donate your organs to endangered hyenas and another to provide government money to buy Viagra for nursing home residents.
If you need any help filling out the form, please call the Questionnaire Assistance Center. They are open around the clock and are fully staffed by former contestants on American Idol and former Congressmen now out on probation, all of whom are well trained to answer your questions.
A word of warning: If someone comes to your door purporting to be a census worker, check their I.D. Do not give information to anyone wearing a toga or carrying an axe.
And finally, remember that you are required by law to participate in the census, but don't worry; we have no power to prosecute you if you don't. Anyway, how would we even know who you were? Duh!Armed with a complete and accurate picture of the populace, we can provide America with funnier sitcoms, tastier Happy Meals and more relevant, less goofy government in the Tea Party days and years ahead. Thank you, and God bless the U.S. of A. (And by the way, April Fool!)

Kevin Durant scores 41 as Thunder down Knicks
Oklahoma City, OK, United States (4E Sports) – Kevin Durant fired 41 points and came one assist shy of a triple-double as the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the New York Knicks, 112-100, Sunday at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Durant made 12 of 22 shots on top of 10 rebounds and nine assists while Reggie Jackson added 19 points as the Thunder improved to 41-12 after winning three of their last four outings.
Serge Ibaka chipped in 16 points and nine boards, Thabo Sefolosha had 12 points while Derek Fisher added 10 off the bench for the Thunder. Kendrick Perkins was the only starter not in double-digit for the Thunder but he grabbed 11 boards.
Raymond Felton and Amar'e Stoudemire scored 16 points apiece for the Knicks, who dropped to 20-31 after losing four of their last five outings.
After scoring 31 in their win over Denver Nuggets, Carmelo Anthony was limited to just 15 points on 5-for-19 shooting with seven boards and five assists.
Tyson Chandler added 12 points and seven rebounds, Iman Shumpert had 12 while Jeremy Tyler had 10 off the bench for the Knicks. The Knicks got just seven points from reliable sixth man J.R. Smith, who went 3-for-10 from the floor.
Overall, the Thunder made 40 of 73 shots, including 12-for-27 from beyond the arc, to for 54.8 percent while the Knicks went 38-for-86 for 44 percent. Oklahoma City also outran the Knicks, scoring 15 fastbreak points, 11 more than New York.
The Knicks came within 61-60 early in the third period behind Anthony, Shumpert and Chandler but the Thunder unleashed a telling 10-0 run to take a commanding 11-point margin.
The Knicks cut the deficit to six early in the fourth but Durant scored five straight points to restore a double-digit lead and the Thunder were never threatened from there.

"I was very pleased with the rapid delivery of my order. I was a little confused with the particular options for this invitation, I thought I could design the Baby's wishes to become an invitation instead of having to order them separately."
"I just loved this baby shower invitation! I didn't upgrade to the more expensive paper, but it still turned out beautifully. The mom-to-be was very happy with the design and look of the invite. Also, I opted to use Tiny Print's altered envelope so I didn't need to pay extra postage on each invitation. It does add a little bit of extra unused space inside the envelope, but I felt that it wasn't an issue. Thanks!"
"These cards are fabulous! The Chevron design is current with the times. I made these and saved my project before placing my order. I went on my sister-in-laws registry and saw that she had registered for Chevron sheets and a Chevron diaper bag!! I then realized that they were absolutely PERFECT for her. She has since seen them and could not be happier with my choice. I want this day to be special and perfect for her and it all started with Tiny Prints!! Thank you so much! You were the only company to offer such a design and such amazing quality. The cardstock is very thick and they offer two different envelopes for their square invitations. Very thoughtful! Thank you !!!"
"This was a great shower invitation. We had a couples baby shower. The invitation appealed to the guys too! It was perfect. The quality of printing and paper was excellent. The invitations were delivered to us in two days. We love Tiny Prints and use them for all our important announcements, cards and invitations."
"I was able to personalize the baby shower card to my liking and the design on it was just gorgeous the color was great and the quality of the paper was good too. I like the different shape card option they offer and they are not that expensive either I just loved everything about! The delivery was actually days earlier than what they had told me and thats a PLUS!! since the baby shower was a last minute thing. I recommend this to anyone who is trying to find nice invitation cards."

Leighton Granted Conditioning Extension
December 6, 2010
It appears that area
Phantoms fans will get to see Michael Leighton in
action at the Glens Falls Civic Center after all.
The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they
have been granted an extension by the NHL that will
allow Michael Leighton to stay with the Phantoms
for another week. Interim Head Coach John Paddock
said that Leighton is expected to play in the Friday
and Saturday games this weekend. Friday's game is
at the Syracuse Crunch.
Saturday night's home game with Leighton expected
to get the start is against the Portland Pirates
at 7:00 p.m.
Leighton played in both games on the road this past
weekend as part of his six day conditioning stint
with the Phantoms. At first it appeared that would
be it for his brief trip back to the AHL and Glens
Falls fans would not get a chance to see him on
home ice. But the Flyers have received NHL approval
on their request to extend his conditioning assignment
which will allow Leighton to get in some more work.
"Well, he (got) through the games on the weekend
good. In my opinion he still needs more work,"
said Flyers General Manager Paul Holmgren.
"I think Michael needs to play," Holmgren
said. "Rather than sticking him in with the
Flyers, it's a better option for us right now. He's
a big guy and he hasn't really played a full game
since September. I think, to get him a couple more
games it's going to be better for him and better
for us.
Leighton is recovering from back surgery this past
October and is also recovering from his leg injury
from late last season.
" Well (the leg) is still kind of the issue
I had a little while ago," Leighton said. "It
has gotten better, but it's still not to the point
where I can say that it's at 100%. The back feels
good. Playing back to back, that was a pretty good
test for it. On the other hand, I still want to
kind of make sure the foot is going to be good.."
Leighton added that he felt his week with the Phantoms
was a positive experience. "I got a good four
days of practice in, which I think for me, was the
biggest thing just to get out and get a whole hour
and a half practice and get a full net to myself.
The weekend for me, it was obviously disappointing.
We had two losses. But, on the other hand, it felt
good to get back and play some games. I'm happy
with the way things went."
Leighton made his Adirondack Phantoms debut Saturday
night at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. He
turned away 14 of 15 shots in a strong first period
and the score remained tied at 1-1 until late in
the 3rd. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton scored two goals
in the final five minutes for the 3-2 victory as
Leighton made 26 saves on the night. Sunday in Atlantic
City, New Jersey he made 23 saves on 27 shots in
a 4-2 loss to the Albany Devils.
Leighton, 29 (5/19/81), is in his ninth NHL season,
his third with the Flyers. The native of Petrolia,
Ontario signed a two-year contract extension on
June 30, 2010. He underwent back surgery on October
11, a partial discectomy, performed by Dr. Alex
Vacarro at Methodist Hospital in Philadelphia.
In the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Leighton made
his NHL postseason debut when he entered in relief
of Brian Boucher in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference
Semifinals vs. Boston. He helped lead the Flyers
to the Stanley Cup Final, recording an 8-3 mark
with a 2.46 GAA and .916 save percentage in 14 games.
During the Eastern Conference Final vs. Montreal,
he set a Flyers franchise record by posting three
shutouts in the series to help the Flyers capture
their first Eastern Conference Championship since
In the 2009-10 regular season, Leighton compiled
a 16-5-2 record to go along with a 2.48 goals-against
average and .918 save percentage in 27 regular-season
appearances, including one shutout. He was acquired
by the Flyers off waivers from the Carolina Hurricanes
on Dec.15, 2009 and went unbeaten in regulation
in his first 10 starts (Dec. 23, 2009 through Jan.
12, 2010), posting a record of 8-0-1 with a 2.16
GAA and .928 save percentage. Leighton was named
the NHL's 'Second Star' of the week ending Feb.
14 after going 4-0-0 with a 1.98 GAA and .925 save
percentage. He went on to set a new career high
for wins in a season (17).
In 103 NHL games with the Flyers, Chicago Blackhawks,
Nashville Predators, and Carolina Hurricanes over
parts of nine NHL seasons, Leighton has a career
record of 34-40-10-4, a 2.94 GAA, .902 save percentage,
and four shutouts.
Leighton last appeared in the AHL in 2007-08 with
a stellar season for the Albany River Rats in the
Carolina Hurricanes system. With the River Rats
that year he went 28-25-4, 2.10, .921.
Leighton set an incredible AHL record on April
24, 2008 with 98 saves in a single game for the
Albany River Rats in their historic five overtime
playoff game against the Philadelphia Phantoms.
He followed that up with a 40 save shutout in a
1-0 victory to keep the Rats alive in their playoff
series on April 26. His last AHL game was April
29, 2008 in a 2-0 loss to the Phantoms.
He played in five games for the Philadelphia Phantoms
in 2006-07 going 2-0-2, 1.56, .948. His last appearance
in a Phantoms jersey had been February 3, 2007 in
a shootout loss to the Norfolk Admirals.
Leighton made his pro debut in 2001 with the Norfolk
Admirals. He stayed with Norfolk through 2005 while
also appearing in 40 games for their parent club,
the Chicago Blackhawks, in 2001-02 and 2002-03.
He has also played in the AHL for Rochester in 2005-06
and Portland in 2006-07 as well as Philadelphia
and Albany.
Leighton has a career AHL mark in 266 career games
of 128-105-25, 2.30, .917. His NHL career stats
in 103 total games are 34-40-14, 2.94, .902 which
includes appearances with Chicago, Nashville, Carolina
and Philadelphia.
Adirondack's next home is Saturday, December 11
against the Portland Pirates featuring the team's
first annual Teddy Bear Toss. Fans get to bring
their teddy bear donations for the Salvation Army
to the game and throw them on the ice after the
