My husband and I, 4 kids (including 2 teenagers) met some extended family for a weekend getaway in this cabin. It was the perfect spot! The house is large enough for the kids to have their own space or gathered as a group to play games and talk. The main floor is light and warm and the bedrooms clean and comfortable, but our favorite space was the basement. The kids (ok, the adults too) loved the large theater room, pool/ping pong table and basketball game and had ongoing tournaments. The house is close to the resort, so we could take breaks from skiing to eat and warm up, or leave tired kids to play games or watch movies while others continued skiing. We recommend this property and will be back.
This is a beautiful home with an inviting open feel. I loved the tall ceilings in the living and kitchen area with the big beautiful windows. The kitchen was spacious and accommodating of our times enjoyed cooking and sharing together, we loved how it was connected to the living room so we could all enjoy being together. This home is easy to fall in love with. There is plenty of space yet the flow of the home is very connected. The theater room was a huge hit with our group it really felt like we had our own private movie theater all to ourselves! The game room was where we ended up spending several hours in what turned out to be a ping pong tournament! This home was more than we could have ever hoped for. Everyone came to the same conclusion that this will be our new vacation spot from here on out! I am completely happy with my stay here and I would highly recommend it to anyone coming to visit Sundance.
My family gathered together for a weekend away from the distractions of real life to enjoy time together as a family. This home has all the amenities for personal privacy and a great gathering area build lasting memories together. The walks around the area were beautiful and enjoyed seeing the wildlife, especially the wild turkeys that were in the area. The property was clean and in wonderful repair. The furnishings were wonderful. I highly recommend this property to return to often. This was not our first time... and not our last.
We travel each year with 5 couples. This home was perfect. Lots of space. Plenty of bathrooms. Well equipped kitchen. Well maintained. The management staff was professional, attentive and went well beyond the norm in assisting us with caterers, entertainment, and answering any questions we had. We will return to this location and highly recommend it. The Sundance area is fabulous to just unwind and recharge, or has plenty to do for those who want to stay busy.
Had a wonderful family holiday at Boulder Ridge. Such a comfortable place to getaway and relax. Plenty of space for my entire family to spread out and relax. Loved the hot tub and sauna after a day of skiing. The home theatre was amazing, so much fun to watch movies. Highly recommend it for your family or group of friends to get away. Can't wait to come back.
Had a wonderful Christmas week at Boulder Ridge, loved the house and the setting was beautiful. What a relaxing, peaceful, and comfortable. Great for entertaining! My family loved watching movies in the home theatre. The hot tub and Sauna were a relaxing way to end the day after skiing at Sundance Resort. I highly recommend Boulder Ridge, we can't wait to visit again soon.

Hendri Boykin Was This Close to Putting a Ring on It. Then, the Cops Showed Up.
Somehow, Dallas police weren't convinced that Hendri Boykin was the hopelessly lovestruck 19-year-old he made himself out to be. He had a gold engagement ring and told the officers who visited his apartment Tuesday afternoon that he was "going to ask my girl to marry me," stammering nervously in the manner of a man bracing for a life-changing decision
But there were red flags, too. The engagement ring was stuffed in a secret pocket sewn into Boykin's jeans, which could have been but somehow didn't seem calculated to heighten the surprise of the proposal. And when officers asked where he'd gotten the ring and how much it cost, he was at a loss. He simply stammered, paused, and sighed a single, defeated word: "Man."
There was also the fact that police found a purse in Boykin's apartment that had been stolen a few minutes before from a woman in the same complex who had been buckling her kids in the car. And that Boykin was wearing the same outfit and matched the description of the thief. And that witnesses had seen Boykin steal the purse and told police who he was and where he lived.
Boykin was arrested and taken to Lew Sterrett on a pair of burglary charges. The ring, based on information from police reports, doesn't seem to have belonged to the woman whose purse was stolen.
Officers took it and checked it into their property room for later retrieval. DPD spokesman Demarquis Black doubts very much that Boykin was planning on popping the question, but who knows? Maybe Boykin's a romantic and wanted a special ring for a special girl.

Arian Foster is a top running back, but Ben Tate actually performed statistically better last season.
Arian Foster may be the top-ranked back, but Ben Tate performed better last year. (Photo by AJ Guel via CC BY-2.0)
Maurice Jones-Drew led the league in rushing last year, but he figures not to get nearly as many attempts this year.
Ryan Matthews is slated to get a significantly larger role, but durability remains a huge question mark.
Matt Forte is a PPR monster and was headed for a career year in 2011 but does not score much and will now be replaced in goal-line situations.
Expectations are enormous for No. 3 overall pick Trent Richardson, but remember he is a rookie.
And the production of all of the above can fall to zero with one wrong twist of a knee.
If you are still one of those who clings to the theory that running backs should be taken early and often in fantasy football drafts, you are quickly falling behind.
It isn't just the fact that the NFL is now geared towards the pass more than ever – it's that running backs have become like starting pitchers in baseball, almost all basically now have what you amont to a pitch count.
With the exception of Maurice Jones-Drew, no NFL back saw more than 301 carries last year. The age of mega-touchdown seasons is becoming rare as well – LeSean McCoy scored 20 times last year, but no other back scored more than 15.
The evolution makes sense, what is going to be work heading into the fourth quarter – a tired back approaching 30 carries, or a committee (first-second down/'change of pace'/third down back) each running 10 times.
Never mind Bill Belichick–if Tony LaRussa were an NFL coach you might be seeing six different backs getting five touches each.
There are still a handful of backs worth first-round picks and several others in the second round. But also remember the attrition rate at the position is much higher than at quarterback/receiver/tight end, and there will be some expensive targets throughout the season in FAAB formats and be mindful of handcuffs. There's a good chance that someone not even close to the top of this list may win a fantasy title for a lot of owners.
See Ryan Grant, 2007… On to the Fantasy Football 2012 Running Back Rankings.
1. Arian Foster (HOU)
I'll be honest, I am not bananas over Foster but have him here because he is the consensus #1 overall pick on most boards. If I were drafting first overall this year, I would seriously consider trading down. With 30 touchdowns in his last 29 games, Foster owns the best TD per game ratio over the past two years.
But backup Ben Tate got more than a nice size sample last year, rushing 175 times for 942 yards, a nice 5.4 average. If I was drafting first, I'd have to draft Arian, but I would also make absolutely certain to handcuff him with Tate, as in selecting Ben over another warm body in the middle rounds and well higher than any ADP ranking you may see – I would say Round 7 for Tate, before a rival owner even thinks of it.
2. Ray Rice (BAL)
This is almost who I want to select number one overall. Not only does Rice have 850 touches the past three seasons, he has also averaged over 70 receptions per season, and there is also not an experienced backup on the Ravens roster. Last year's 15 TD effort was his first foray into double figures, and although Baltimore could find a goal-line specialist, I can still conservatively pencil him in for 12-14 scores. As I ranked this Ray had just inked up to a 5-year/$40 million contract, which makes him the third-highest paid back in the league – there are no holdout worries here.
3. LeSean McCoy (PHI)
Here is your 20 TD man from last year who has also averaged an even five yards a pop the past two years. Although not that highly regarded coming out of Pitt a few years back, LeSean has proven to be the real McCoy. Only downside is his receptions dropped from 78 to 48 last year, which may be more of an aberration. As a number three or four overall pick I would look for 1,500 total yards/60 catches/and conservatively 12 or so touchdowns.
4. Maurice Jones-Drew (JAX)
There is actually a fourth member of the top-tier, and MJD led the league in both rushing attempts (343) and was the league's lone 1,500 yard runner (1,606, and 1,980 combined yards). The downside is that Jones-Drew is not a TD scorer–he has only found the end zone 18 times last two years.
An avid follower of the fantasy game, MJD feels that he can one day surpass Emmitt Smith's all-time rushing yardage record. What worries me right now is the specter of a training-camp hold out, although ESPN's John Clayton is on record saying MJD will report to camp well before Week 1 and perhaps even report to camp on time. If there is a protracted holdout, then the risks of rust and injury come into play. I do not see Drew getting 300 carries this year. Rashard Jennings projects as a nice #2 who will see some time and that will actually be a good thing for MJD.
5. Trent Richardson (CLE)
I feel slightly uncomfortable putting Trent this high. True, unlike Alabama predecessor Mark Ingram, you will not be seeing Richardson as part of a committee. The obvious comparison is when Adrian Peterson came into the league in 2007 – in the pre-draft workouts that year, AD was timed at 4.38 with a 38-inch vertical and doing 20 reps.
Meanwhile Trent this spring was timed in the low 4.4's/36 inch vertical/25 reps. Very slightly slower but perhaps more powerful – so they are similar, and AD didn't exactly start slowly with a pair of 200-yard games (and one in which he rushed for 250 in the SECOND HALF). Problem is Peterson could be had third-round in '07, it's likely going to take a late first-round pick to get T-Rich, and that bar may be set too high. I wouldn't be comfortable going for Richardson until early Round 2.
6. Ryan Mathews (SD)
At this point there are a variety of opinions on who is next on the board, which is why Round 2 may be the better spot to find your back this year. If you listen to everything coming out of the 6-1-9 this off-season, word is that Mathews' load is going to increase significantly in year three, and he did get 222 carries last year averaging nearly five yards per carry and totaling over 1,500 total yards. The presence of Mike Tolbert (now gone) cut into Matthews' TD production–he has only scored five times as a pro. If he can stay healthy (a big if), 2,000 total yards and double-digit scores are possible.
7. Chris Johnson (TN)
That 2,000-yard rushing season may have been in 2009, but it almost seems like a decade ago now. That's how quickly someone can fall off the top perch at this level. I'm going to bank on Johnson's second-half stats from last year, which saw him approach nearly 900 combined yards in his final eight games, far more resembling that '09 model.
8. Darren McFadden (OAK)
I don't know how many more years I am going to keep swinging for the fence on DMac, with a rushing average of more than five yards per carry, McFadden would be near the top of the list if you knew he was going to stay healthy and get 300 carries. If you do select McFadden, make sure to grab #2 Taiwan Jones as a handcuff, who looked very impressive last pre-season.
9. Marshawn Lynch (SEA)
An afterthought in most drafts last year, Marshawn was one of the league's most prolific backs down the stretch last year, with a 10-game scoring streak from Weeks 7 through 16. Some people will over-think and downgrade Lynch since the Seahawks face the top-ranked 2011 run defense in the Niners in Week 16 – but that's too far off to worry about. Will Lynch be in the lineup then?? Will the SF defense be banged up by then?? Have to get to Championship Week before thinking about winning it. UPDATE: Just as this goes to press comes word of Marshawn being involved in a DUI charge in the East Bay, Lynch was suspended three games by the league for an off-field issue in 2009 – so now we have to factor in how this will play out in the Roger Goodell wheel of discipline…
10. Michael Turner (ATL)
Like 1,300 yards and double-digit TD's?? Then you would have been quite happy with Turner past two seasons. The downside is that Michael is a liability in PPR formats, and his odometer is starting to get quite high at age 30. The second-best known Turner in Atlanta still gets massive work but will start to trend downward in 2012.

OpenLogic Moves To Help Prevent License Lawsuits
Until just over two years ago, the General Public License, the all-pervasive Open Source license used by tens of thousands of Open Source projects, had never been the subject of a violation lawsuit — not once in its eighteen year history. September 2007 brought an end to that, unleashing a flurry of lawsuits against some of the biggest names in technology, a flurry that is still underway. In an effort to end the violations — and the litigation that comes with them — one company has officially launched its own resource for Open Source compliance.
While meeting the terms of a specific Open Source license may not be particularly difficult — many bear fairly light obligations — the task of making that compliance happen in a corporate environment is not necessarily as easy. The sheer number of available licenses under which Open Source software is available is by itself enough to make one's head spin.
Beyond that is the reality of the corporate sphere — the left hand does not always know what the right hand is doing, much less what the myriad of divisions, departments, and development centers are up to. Though it tends to be ascribed to malice — and no doubt, some is the result of it — it is far from improbable for license violations to slide through the development process on blindness alone. (Hanlon's Razor perhaps puts it best: "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.") How, then, will this blindness come to an end?
OpenLogic, a commercial venture that provides Open Source-based services aimed at enterprise customers, and well known for founding the Open Source Census — thinks it has an answer. Though the effort — christened the Open Source Fulfillment Center — has been underway for some time, it was officially launched on Thursday, just days after the latest, and largest to date, round of license-violation suits was announced. OpenLogic executives cited the newly-filed litigation as a prime reason for companies distributing Open Source software as part of their product offerings to avail themselves of the Center's services.
According to OpenLogic, the center will offer three sets of services:
- Advisory and Planning: OpenLogic offers its customers advice on the development of the processes and procedures needed to comply with the open source licenses, including distribution of source code. This includes a review of proposed processes by outside legal counsel with expertise on open source licensing.
- Application Audit and License Analysis: OpenLogic's experts use a variety of tools to scan and analyze software and identify any embedded open source code. OpenLogic provides its customers with a warranted and indemnified report of open source software and licenses, the relevant license obligations, potential license conflicts and a "compliance checklist".
- Fulfillment: In order to comply with the terms of the GPL, companies must offer the open source code to its customers. This can be challenging with many consumer products where the open source software is embedded in the product. OpenLogic's Open Source Fulfillment Center includes an online web site (created and hosted by OpenLogic) where customers can download the appropriate open source code as well as a physical fulfillment option.
In addition to stressing the importance of complying with the letter of Open Source licenses, company representatives highlighted the need for companies to understand the licenses themselves. Said attorney Jason Haislmaier: "This week's copyright infringement lawsuit...underscores the importance of understanding and complying with all the open source software embedded in your products."
Additional information on the Center and its offerings is expected in January.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

In reply to joejack951 • Apr 5, 2013
Yes, you are correct in that the 85 f1.4D does not have dust and weather sealing just remembered that after I posted and forgot to go back to change what i wrote.
The 85 f1.4D is the only lens I have ever owned that came with a metal hood, unfortunately its a nuisance to carry around bc its not a reversable bayonet type hood so its only used in the studio, a real shame. I find the hood very handy for backlit portraits and shooting into the sun to reduce flare/ghosting and to improve contrast, not to mention to protect the front element from accidental damage. I have searched for a non nikon hood but came up empty handed.

Posted on 09/25/2006 1:20:31 PM PDT by NYer
Muslim militias have forced Christians to pin up posters condemning the words of Benedict XVI in Regensburg. But religious leaders, including al Sistani, have expressed their friendship with the Apostolic Nunciature. And the representative of the Iraqi Shiite leader would like to meet the pope.
Baghdad (AsiaNews) The start of the month of Ramadan in Iraq was marked by violence but also by significant openness by al Sistani towards the Vatican. Yesterday, two churches, one in Baghdad and another in Mosul, were struck. Recently, the country has seen an escalation of attacks against Christians, thought by some to be the reaction of radical Muslims to the speech of the pope in Regensburg. However, religious leaders, among them al Sistani, have shown solidarity and understanding towards the Vatican. Moreover, the representative of the highest religious exponent of Iraqi Shiites has expressed the desire to be able to visit the Pope.
Yesterday morning at 11.15am local time, armed men attacked the Chaldean Church of the Holy Spirit in Mosul, firing at least 80 shots on the building. Thank God there was no Mass at the time, one member of the community told AsiaNews, so no one was killed or injured, there was just some damage done to the eastern part of the building and a few broken windows.
The atmosphere in the city is very tense. Recently, Muslim militias threatened the Catholic bishop and priests that unless they publicly condemned the address of the pope at the University of Regensburg within 72 hours, Christians would be killed and churches burned down. In recent years, some churches, shrines and even the bishops house were the target of terrorist attacks. For fear of further attacks, the bishop had posters put up to say that neither Iraqi Christians nor the pope want to destroy ties with Muslims.
Defying the prevailing atmosphere of terror, last night, Chaldean Catholics left their homes to participate in Vespers Mass in the very church that had been attacked. Our faith is a challenge to violence. The militias fear us because our faith is stronger than their bullets, a Christian told AsiaNews.
Yesterday morning in Baghdad, two bombs went off outside the Assyrian Orthodox Church of St Mary in the central neighbourhood of Karrada. The attackers put a bomb under the parish priests car. The blast, that took place at 9.30am, drew many people, including some from the parish. Immediately afterwards another bomb went off close by, injuring many people and killing a watchman of the church.
Some think these bombs targeted Christians in the wake of the controversy surrounding the popes speech in Regensburg. But in recent days, Orthodox communities distanced themselves from the words of the pope, putting up posters outside their churches expressing their disagreement with him. Some Catholic figures said the attack on St Marys Church was much more likely a vendetta based on ethnic-religious motives: the Assyrian Orthodox Patriarch recently visited communities in Kurdistan and probably the bombs were meant to be a threat by Sunni or Shiite militias against such ties with Kurds.
The lecture of Benedict XVI in Regensburg was misunderstood by the media as being an attack on Islam. Although the pope explained the true meaning of his words several times over, bitter and threatening criticisms continue to come from many sectors of Islam. In Iraq, it is fundamentalist and political Muslim splinter groups that are reacting violently to the popes address. Recently, the Secretary of the Nunciature in Baghdad, Mgr Thomas Halim Abib, met religious representatives of Islam and offered them an Arabic translation of the words of the pope, so Muslim leaders would be able to understand the true meaning of what was said. Muslim religious leaders undertake the task of informing their communities. Mgr Thomas told AsiaNews that in these days, the official representative of the Grand Ayatollah al Sistani, the undisputed leader of Shiite Islam in Iraq, visited the Vatican Nunciature twice to express friendship and solidarity. The representative of al Sistani accepted the explanations rendered by the Nunciature and spread them among all Iraqi Shiite communities, expressing respect for the Holy See that has always been close to the Iraqi people. The representative of the grand ayatollah also said he wished to go to Rome to visit Pope Benedict XVI.
Dhimmification marches on. There's nothing to disagree with, as I'm sure most Orthodox know full well. What these folks don't understand is that if we don't all hang together (as Ben Franklin said), we shall surely all hang separately.
Can this be true about al-Sistani? If so, the Holy Father's very risky gambit may be turning and splitting at least part of the Umma. I hardly know what to believe or to dare to hope for. I feel ashamed of myself for neglecting my Rosary. God bless Benedict XVI!
prayers for the Monsignor's safety. God bless him and the Iraqi Christians.
Orthodox ping!
It's not like attacking churches in Iraq is anything new, with or without the Pope's speech.
Besides, they are Shia, not Sunni.
Don't mean a thing!
Why should Catholics condemn something anyone said that is true? The muslims are just proving it so. They should apologize for the truth?
SEND THEM SAMIR GEAGEA to TEACH THEM SOME "BASIC ELEMENTS OF SELF DEFENSE & SURVIVAL"....
The "Orthodox" this article is referring to are the Assyrians who broke with the ancient Patriarchates, including Rome, over the condemnation of Nestorius. They, among other things, objected to the term Theotokos, preferring Christotokos, so you can see how early that split came. They are not really Orthodox as any of us understand the term. They broke off around 431.
I think you will find that the attitude expressed by +Christodoulos of Athens best represents the position of those Orthodox Churches which have any real freedom of action.
I agree, I think the larger Orthodox Churches definitely know what the stakes in this are. Interestingly, one of the things that enabled Mohammed to take over was the plethora of small "local" churches that were only loosely connected to the whole, as a result of the many heresies that circulated through the Christian world at that time (and the backdraft of the major heresy, the Arian heresy). I hope the Assyrians think twice before they declare their allegiance to the wrong side!
Livius: Dhimmification marches on
The question is which Orthodox? Oriental or Eastern? But what is much more important is that not a single Muslim leader made any attempt to curb the ire of the militants. Where are our friends and allies among "moderate" Muslims? Not a single public statement demanding an end of ongoing rant, not a single voice of moderation.
Why? Either they agree with the militants, or they are scared of their own. I would say both. Every Muslim in his heart cannot be a Muslims and have room for a Christian. Islam forbids it! "Make no friends with Christians and Jews..." says the book of the moon god. How can anyone be a Muslim in his heart and soul and not obey that?
Self-styled Bosnian Muslim ex-president Alija Izetbegovic wrote in his famous "Islamic Declaration" (republished in 1990, just prior to the ourbreak of the Bosnian civil war) that there can not co-exist a peaceful relationship between Islamic and non-Islamic communities precisely for the reasons mentioned above. Those who talk about "moderate" Muslims and possible co-existence know nothing about Islam.
Kolokotronis has some information in his post above about that particular church, which I wasn't aware of. I think the vital thing is not to let the Muslims split us up, because that is one of the ways they have conquered before. Granted, Christian disunity has long been a scandal and should have been healed long before now, particularly among the Orthodox and the Catholics, but it's now becoming something that is going to threaten our very existence.
As I mentioned in a Freepmail to you recently.....
Just another peaceful threat from the religion of peace!!!
It's getting worse ... far worse. It's only a matter of time before all christians are driven out of these holy lands.
An excellent observation, L. I might add that one of the fundamental reasons why Mahammedanism spread so quickly across North Africa was on account of the damage done to The Church there by Donatism, a very, very long lived heresy which crops its head up even to this day. As +Isidore of Pelusium wrote: "Just as the fishermen hide the hook with bait and covertly hook the fish, similarly, the crafty allies of the heresies cover their evil teachings and corrupt understanding with pietism and hook the more simple, bringing them to spiritual death."
Thanks, I didn't see Kolo's post before I posted mine in #14, which is why I said "which" Orthodox church. But I guess he beat me to it. Not bad for an "old" Greek. :)
Apropos the article, what is there to "disagree" with the Pope on this? He merely quoted a Byznatine emperor who appraently knew the Muslims better than some of our politicians!
I read somewhere - perhaps on FR? - that the Turkish government (can this be correct?) - has legislated that no one can become Ecumenical Patriarch unless he was born in Turkey????
Is that true????
There was a situation decades ago in some Latin American countries where American missionary Fathers, members of Religious Orders (e.g. Carmelites) could not become Bishops of dioceses if they continued to hold American citizenship.
But it struck me that for a secular or Islamic government yo shackle a whole Church, like the Greek Orthodox Church, in the naming of its own Patriarch, would be like the Italian government forbidding the election of anyone as Pope who had not been born in Italy.

As a practical matter, yes. The law now is that to be elected Patriarch, one must hold Turkish citizenship, but that's not something that just happens. +Athenagoras was the last non-Turkish born Patriarch. The EP has asked the Turkish government to allow any Orthodox clergyman to be elected and then give him Turkish citizenship as a dual citizen, but Turkey refuses.
Thanks for the ping Coleus.
To all posters:
Just an aside here...
I've noticed in many articles and must comment.
Catholic Church, should be capitalized.
Pope, should be capitalized.
I notice the words Muslim and Islam are always capitalized...I'd like the same respect shown.
This is the same great friend of ours, Turkey, that does not allow Kurds to name their children with Kurdish names, and does not allow Kurdish language in schools, yet they just can't understand why European Union just doesn't let them in not yet but close)!
BTW, once Turkey is in, tthe Turks can settle anywhere in member countries without a visa or permit, open up business and bring their entire harem with them. Accepting Turkey into the EU will be undoing centuries of Christian work of keeping significant numbers of Mohammedans out of Europe.
Norway brought 500 Pakistani refugees from Bangladesh (when it was East Pakistan) and today they have thousands. Sweden now has Muslim-majority districts. Islam will win Europe without a single bullet (of their own). The Europeans will use their own on themselves.
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2006/09/20/europe/EU_GEN_Turkey_Orthodox_School.phpThere were violent protests two years ago at the headquarters of the Ecumenical Patriarch in Istanbul where the the Patriarch was burned in effigy. It should be pointed out that the seminary would not even be in Istanbul but on an island.
No wonder Benedict XVI used RECIPROCAL once today and RECIPROCITY after that . . .
Europe has bent over backwards (and forwards) to offer Muslims freedom of religion.
And in return . . . . ??????????
I hear ya..it's out of respect.. I think this was the topic of a previous thread. But if you read the Catechism, even the one posted of the Vatican, they seldom capitalize those words, not even his or him when referring to God and Jesus.
The Koran teaches "Do not make friends with Christians and Jews..." How can a devout Muslim ignore this and try to have a "peaceful coexistence" with Christians and Jews? He would also be ignoring the fact that the Koran teaches that those who are not believers must be converted, one way or another.
Muslims are also encouraged and allowed to deceive the infidel. And they do.
The lines will be drawn eventually. The more we procrastinate, the worst it will be.
YES...BUT FOR "THEM" when THEY'LL REALIZE THEY HAVE GONE TOO FAR....TO DEFUSE ALMIGHTY GOD'S WRATH!!
There's more to it,
Of late, under the Islamist Turkish government it is getting worse.
Those particular Christians must have missed the scripture "be faithful unto death".
The situation in many Latin American countries is that only locally born nationals can be priests or pastors. Long story in that.
I know you hear me. Thanks.
Wonder what's up with the writers? On purpose or just stupid?
probably just stupid or just don't care.
Ratzinger is a clear headed theologian. He accepted the Patriarch's invitation to Turkey last year but was denied entry by the government. Once that had been settled, he continued with his plans to visit Turkey and celebrate the Feast of St. Andrew with the Patriarch, in Istanbul. Despite death threats, those plans have not been canceled and I would suggest that we ALL pray for his safe pilgrimage and journey to this holy land.
My heart goes out to the Patriarch whose hands are tied by the Turkish gov't. Interestingly enough, the Ecumenical Patriarchate is seen as a long-standing supporter of European Union entry for Turkey. "Our country is a bridge between the East and the West," stated the patriarch. "We do not think the European Union should be only a club limited to Christians." Whereas, before becoming pope, Benedict had made known his opposition to Turkey joining the EU.
Your thoughts?
"Interestingly enough, the Ecumenical Patriarchate is seen as a long-standing supporter of European Union entry for Turkey.

In many ways, its the EP's only hope for survival in Constantinople, NYer.
I understand. And that is precisely my point! By lending his support to the Patriarch, their voices will resonate more loudly. JPII returned the relics of St. Gregory of Nazianzen, and St. John Chrysostom. What better gift can BXVI bring than his support for the Patriarch, even at the personal risk of his life.
I think you are right. +BXVI just flexed his muscles and showed the world how not to be afraid. Now imagine the power of the Pope of Rome coupled with the power of the Moscow Patriarch and the prestige of the EP (not to say the power and money of his flock in America) and the Patriarch of Antioch (together with the Melkite and Maronite Patriarchs). Jerusalem I fear may be a lost cause for now and Alexandria, well, we'll have to see. The new Patriarch there is very, very respected in Africa and may turn out to be a force to be reckoned with there.
What is "ant-contraception promotion"? Is it fire ant prevention? If, so, I'm all for it.
Hey, brother. I was thining about you the other day. I was in Tarpon Springs down by the Sponge Docks and I remembered when one of your Prelates was there last Easter and the young men dove into the water trying to be the first to retrieve the Cross he had thrown in there. Very neat town. Me and the Bride are talking about going there for next Easter to witness all this firsthand and also, let's be honest, to have a chance to chow down on some Greek Food and wine :)
I can see that as a bare necessity IF there was any hope things will change. But, I don't know how to put it to you, Kolo, there is no hope Constantinople will ever be non-Muslim. If anything, things will get worse. Islam is on the offensive, IMO. I believe Turkey's entry into the EU will open the flood gate for Muslim invasion of Europe for the second time.
Sometimes, Dhimifiacation was necessary to survive. In this particular case, it is a lost cause. The sooner this is understood the better. I think Christianity needs to draw a line in the sand, but Christian Europe has forgotten its Christian roots. It seems to me it is desperately trying to be "accepting" and "understanding" and "tolerant" and all-inclusive because that's what Washington has been drumming into their heads since 1945.
Besides, dhimification doesn't win anything; it's a reprieve, a minimum payment to stay alive short of converting to Islam. It was never a bargaining chip. It can keep status quo at best, and that is even doubtful.
I believe that all Muslims in this world will eventually show their true colors. They must, because otherwise they will be counted in the same group as Christians and Jews, trying to co-exist peacefully with them. That's a sin according to Islam. The wages for sin are death.
The only thing Muslims hate more than Christians and Jews are, IMO, Muslims who are not "hot" enough, but "lukewarm," and the apostates among them.
Turkey will install a Turk as the "Ecumenical Patriarch." He must be a citizen and cannot be naturalized. It's time to establish Ecumenical Throne in Moscow, the third Rome, where over 80% of world's Orthodox Christians belong. This is in keeping with the Fourth ecumenical Council's proclamation that honors and privileges are those of churches of imperial and state dignity.
It's time to establish Greek Patriarchy, with an eternal claim to Constantinople (as Serbia is about to enact a Constitution which eternally put claim on Kosovo) and its liberation from Islam.
I think Europe should be reversing the tide, but we have been building "islamiyas" in Bosnia and Kosovo, as we have created Afghanistan Taliban and provided, indirectly, fertile ground for al Qaeda with our myopic and naïve foreign policy of "playing the natives."
I am convincxned that if Christianity does not come together and kick Islam out of Europe, Europeans nations will have their own Bosnias and Kosovos in a relatively short time.
Let's not forget the way Islam treats Christianity (in S. Arabia, Afghanistan, Iran, etc. there are NO churches; pretty soon, the same will be true as other Muslim countries become Islamic).
Islam only pretends to be tolerant, IMO. The Kuran teaches no tolerance with infidels. In places where it doesn't have to be tolerant, it has shown no tolerance at all!
Good links, thanks.

I agree with you, kosta. But the EP clings to the hope that the Patriarchate can survive in Constantinople. Personally, I think its over and he should move to Mount Athos or even here to the States.
Fascinating ... some insecticides actually work that way ... they don't kill the insects, just sterilise them. It allows the insect to carry the poison back to its nest and spread it to the other bugs.
I wasn't aware that the Vatican had a position on the matter ... but OK. Maybe they had a cockroach infestation ...

Overall Experience
Very Nice and Affordable
July 19, 2016
Friendly staff and very nice Suite. The noise level was somewhat noticeable. I could hear my neighbors talking, but the overall stay was great.
Friendly staff and good value!
July 14, 2016
All of the staff I encountered were friendly and extremely helpful. The suite was well equipped and nicely decorated. Be aware that the facility is pet friendly but it wasn't a huge issue for me, and I was not disturbed by any of the pets---I only saw dogs. The location is extremely close to good shopping and numerous restaurants, but further away from the center of Montgomery.
Overall I enjoyed my stay and would not hesitate to stay at the East Chase location again.
Clean and Friendly

A good production of the classic. I was surprised that a full live orchestra was present and played the music. I thought that the throwing of candy to the audience was a nice idea and so was the clever use of soap suds sprinkling down from the ceiling to imitate falling snow. The kids and adults loved it.

Cute performance of a holiday classic! I enjoyed the show, the dancers were very talented, and the costumes and props/backdrops were vibrant and well made. Would be perfect for the whole family. Parking and will-call were a breeze and I liked that...continued

The schoolgirl at the centre of underage sex claims with Sunderland and England footballer Adam Johnson has been named by online trolls.
Police issued a strong warning that anyone who identifies the 15-year-old faces prosecution and that perpetrators will be dealt with "robustly".
Durham Constabulary acted after Johnson, 27, was arrested at his home yesterday on suspicion of sexual activity with an underage girl.
The warning comes after a young woman who was raped by footballer Ched Evans was widely named online a number of times, forcing her to change her identity and move home.
At least ten people were convicted for identifying the victim.
It has also emerged that Adam Johnson was arrested after the schoolgirl's father learned of the alleged offence and went to police.
The midfielder was interviewed at a police station for several hours yesterday before he was released on bail.
Another girl was forced to deny she was the alleged victim after being wrongly linked to Johnson online.
In a statement, Durham Constabulary said: "Anyone who identifies someone who may or may not be a victim of a sexual offence is committing a criminal act.
"Victims of sexual assault are guaranteed the legal right to lifetime anonymity and publishing any details, including on social media, which may lead to their identification, is contrary to the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 1992.
"Durham Constabulary wishes to remind social media users, and anyone else, who breaks the law that they will be dealt with robustly."
England international Johnson could miss the rest of the season as a result of his arrest - with the club facing a relegation fight.
Today, his family rallied behind him.
Seven weeks after their daughter was born, partner Stacey Flounders said she was sticking by the England player after he was arrested on suspicion of sexual activity with a girl of 15.
Speaking from Stacey's family home, her mum said: "Stacey and Adam are still very close and absolutely still together.
"He is 100 per cent innocent and we will stand by him. He hasn't been found guilty of anything.
"He is a great lad and has not done anything wrong. This is just a horrible situation."
Sunderland's £10million winger was held following a morning raid on the £1.5million mansion that he shares with Stacey.
Three unmarked police cars and a van drove through the electric gates of their home near Hartlepool, Co Durham at around 9.15am when plain-clothed officers entered.
It is understood the player was then taken to a nearby police station in the Durham force area to be questioned.
Officers discovered what is understood to be a legally-owned starting pistol when they searched the player's home.
Last night, Johnson was suspended by the Black Cats pending the outcome of the police investigation - which could rule the £60,000-a-week star out for the rest of the season.
Crime scene investigators also arrived at the player's house.
A Durham Police spokesman said: "A 27-year-old man was arrested early today on suspicion of sexual activity with a girl under the age of 16.
"He remains in police custody and is helping officers with their inquiries."
Johnson was later released on police bail.
A neighbour said: "All the main activity was between 9.15am and 9.35am.
"Three undercover cars and a scenes of crime van arrived.
"You could tell they were police officers, they were all dressed in black. I haven't seen him all day. I just assumed there had been a burglary.
"As far as I know he lives there with his girlfriend."
Johnson is a popular figure at Sunderland, with officials shocked by the arrest.
A club source said: "He is quiet until you get to know him, but not afraid to speak his mind.
"It was thought everyone was fit and ready for the coming games, which are crucial for the club.
"It will be a big blow if he were to be ruled out for the rest of the season because of this.
"He is a match winner on his day."
The Black Cats boss Gus Poyet conducted his usual round of media interviews this week suggesting the team had two games to pull out of the relegation zone.
Poyet substituted Johnson in the Premier League game against Burnley on January 31, and explained it was because the England international was feeling tired after becoming a dad.
Officers spent the day at Johnson's house yesterday, and also appeared to be searching the triple garage at one point.
Johnson is a favourite at the Stadium of Light, and his arrest will stun the Black Cats' loyal army of fans.
A Sunderland AFC spokesman said: "We can confirm that Adam Johnson has been suspended from the club, pending the outcome of the police inquiry.
"No further comment will be made at the present time."
His parents, who live close to their son, declined to comment on his arrest last night.
Johnson, who was raised in Easington, County Durham, started playing for the Middlesbrough Youth Academy at the age of 12.
He made his senior debut at the age of 17, playing for Middlesbrough in the UEFA Cup in 2005.
Johnson later joined Leeds United, before moving back to Middlesbrough.
In 2010, he was signed by Manchester City, and was in and out of then manager Roberto Mancini's plans before Sunderland signed him in 2012 on a four-year contract worth £10 million.
Johnson was first named in the England squad in 2010 and he made his debut in a World Cup warm-up match against Mexico that year.
The winger has since won 12 caps, but did not travel to Brazil for the World Cup last year.
In December, he described himself as the most-hated man in Newcastle after scoring a 90-minute goal which gave Sunderland victory over their bitter derby rivals.

I've noticed something in regards to the responsive solution for the Facebook like box. It seems to be off right now. When I view it on my android phone it creates a horizontal scroll. I saw your code for How to Make the Facebook Like Box Responsive and have used it and have ran into some issues on a site as well.

An interesting perspective on defined science. Very well worth the time to listen to, expand your mind.
"Most cherished read"
I started reading over again as soon as I finished. This led me down so many different paths and introduced me to new theories. I love this book!
"RUBBISH pure and simple"
Appears to be nothing but stories told by the author like a little kid around the camp fire. No testing, nothing repeated in a controlled manner, nothing but stories. And the author seems to think this is proof of some sort of cosmic "source field". BS
He presents wild anecdotal tales as if they were true and as if they were science. Using supposed known "credible" names and government agencies to give them the sound of credibility. But anyone with an ounce of common sense can see these are no more than the urban myths found a million places on the internet and told by little boys around the camp file to impress each other. In the form of " I know this guy who knew this guy that saw this guy hypnotize this other guy to be able to see through his own daughter and read a watch on the other side."
Save your money. If I can turn this book back in I will. I think the write up in Audible was miss leading. This belongs in fantasy and is not something I would expect any thinking person to even be able to get half way through
Scientist, environmentalist and parent that is always interested in LEARNING more about people, history and the World we live in.
"You can't afford to miss this book!"
The author has done an incredible job of describing the importance of The Mayan Calendar, it's secrets, and how this information supports the myriad number of findings and discoveries that have pointed to the importance and interrelatedness of: Time-Space/Space-Time; the FACT that there are multiple dimensions and realities (not just what we think of in our day to day lives - he actually shows evidence that, in dreams, we TRAVEL to these other dimensions!); re-incarnation; extraterrestrials and their impact on human social and scientific development, and how this all plays into the end of this very year, 2012!
Avid listener of information that defines what a mess individuals have made of society, humanity and the planet itself.
"Very well done, had to listen more than once."
Interesting to read some of the reviews. Like almost anything else, you get people who like it and those who don't. Have done my own research on numerous topics and Mr. Wilcock connects the dots on many items. Refreshing to hear an alternative view from doom and gloom. The author was not the best reader but he was not that bad. I have found if you increase the speed, you not only get through the book faster but it alters the audio enough to where you get used to it.
Keep an open mind and you can't help but enjoy all the information that is presented.
"Good Content, Poor Reader"
This book presented a lot of fascinating and hard-to-debunk scientific anomalies, the majority of these anomalies being discovered by professional scientists.
Dark Mission by Richard Hoagland, because it deals with convincing hard evidence that is very surprising.
This book would benefit from a professional narrator and editor.
"Could Have Been So Much Better"
There's a lot of good information in this book, but it also has some problems which become evident to listeners who aren't David Wilcock fans.
First, most authors should not record their audiobooks, they aren't professional narrators. David is good in radio interviews and his own presentations, but not here. He hurts his narration on every page with an I'm-excited-so-you-should-feel-excited inflection rise and a high-pitched top. A little emotion goes a long way, but Wilcock does this "excited emphasis" trick maybe a thousand times.
Second, who edited the book? Lots of little problems, such as Wilcock's misuse of "alleged" and "allegedly." They don't mean whatever he wants. The result? On his acknowledgements section at the end, he cites the Law Of One material, "allegedly transmitted telepathically by very advanced extraterrestrials. " They were alleged but not convicted, I hope. Try "reportedly" or "claimed" or "reputedly." Alleged still has to do with a crime, not a creation.
Third, it needed less David Wilcock "personality.". Over and over, Wilcock tells us he was "stunned" and "shocked" and "amazed" to discover something. It didn't amaze me to hear he was amazed. Wilcock wasn't doing a Graham Hancock or Linda Moulton Howe field investigation that yielded amazing results, he was telling us about something he read!
Next, the book isn't an investigation so much as a survey of literature. The material covered is impressive in volume and often fascinating, but Wilcock is telling us what he read in other writers' books and website articles.
For future books, Wilcock should be replaced by a professional narrator, and the books need a tight editing to keep the information on the page relevant to the overall themes of the book. Finally, I only got through the book by playing it at double-speed on the iPod. That made his 1001 excited emphatic moments sound less immature.
I look forward to Wilcock's future books. He's worth reading and chases the truth.

"Too Dense for an Audible Book"
Normally, I prefer listening to books rather than reading them, but, this book, so dense in scientific references and theories, needs to be read rather than heard. With a book, you can jump back to something you need to reread to understand, but this is very difficult to accomplish in an audio book.
Content is amazing, so it's not the book that deserves a three star rating; however, I suggest reading as the best way to get the most out of the book.
"Psudo-Science Poppycock"
The book would have been better if it had any basis in reality
No, but thankfully it wasn't the first in the genre or it would have.
The author's narration was fine.
An intense feeling I was using my time poorly and remorse for the money I had wasted.
The author seems to believe every bizarre myth, story, rumor, and tall tale that was ever dreamed up. He presents this all in an entirely unfiltered list, each point of which is apparently supposed to have some connection to the rest but most of which are actually completely unrelated. He jumps from conjecture, to wild speculation, to conclusion, without the benefit of any actual evidence. He wraps this all up on a pseudo-science package that is supposed to inspire confidence but fails miserably. Fundamentally, his thought process lacks cohesion.
"Good Entertainment"
This book has something for everyone, from ancient aliens to the end of the world. As an entertaining diversion it is a good read but don`t confuse it with science. This book does not belong in the science/technology section, there is no information here, only entertainment. It is fun though.

An excellent bit of analogistastic writing by Oliver this morning:
This isn't a war, per se, but rather modern political posturing and postulating. "Big vs Craft" is more like a campaign for the presidency of beer, a trading of legal and social blows to rise to the top and occupy the position of leader of the brewing free world (if we kindly ignore China and Snow, for now). Look at the tactics. Buying a competition brewery? Redrawing the lines of your portfolio to overlap your competition, and include certain consumers to better your business. Offering incentive programs to distributors to only carry your brands? Redrawing the literal lines of what beers are on the shelves, to better position yourself to improve your company's standing. It's financial and economic gerrymandering, being done in the face of an opposition party that is winning by more traditional measures.
I don't fully agree as, like most people, I do not care about the idea of craft "winning" as if the dreams of a dipso hobbyist could serve as rules guiding the progress of an industry. But I love the construct. It sorta came up in the blog's Facebook discussion this week in which Mitch Steel of Stone was comparing the current acquisitions with those in the 1990s. I suggested that the 1990s scenario was a bit different now, even as both big craft and big beer fumble the marketing messages (as in the "crafty" flop as well as some of the Bud TV ads) I see a more meaningful shift that works well in an analogy to politics. I can buy Blue Point Toasted Lager at a middle market pub a walk from my house here in a small Canadian city. It sits next to a Goose Island tap along with the rest of the Canadian standard ABInBevLabatt line up. On a Sunday night with friends a few weeks ago, we were out watching the Grey Cup. People at our table happily chose one or the other sort of beer - if they were even different "sorts" to them. They liked what they liked so Shock Top sat next to Guinness at the table along side my Blue Point. This was big raft politics. Inclusive even if set at a rather large scale. Dollars as votes.
To my eye, in 2015 big brewing firms set out towards the goal of achieving a sort of parity between their big macro and craft products. A grand coalition. Craft acquisitions harmonize well with the very attractive "Made in America" recent Bud TV ads. Consultants and communicators who have thrown their lot in with the big craft sector will have trouble with this aspect of the future. Ideologues in, what is now oddly called at least here in Canada, short pants. But I suppose you have to dance with the one who brought you, don't you. But its a very unsatisfying view of the future. Prejudged. Nothing worse than a politician who approaches an issue with a closed mind. I don't accept that vision. Things are moving in another direction. And, on the one hand, it is clear that the market isn't shifting because many people want to hover over glasses of small batch beer making strained precious small talk. The market is shifting because big craft has taught big beer how to pretend to brew small batch beer. On the other hand, people like what that like, like to be spoken to as it their choices are worthy and like how diversifying the line up allows big beer to present itself as open and welcoming. The body politic want this. The electors are voting for what they want.
The "craft" monologue misses all that, misses the point that people like to enjoy themselves and each other when out and about. I was out again last night twice in a month is a bit odd for me. I had two fairly local Big Rig IPAs, a fairly local Beau's Lugtread as well as a final fairly macro Guinness over the course of four or five hours at the Iron Duke. It was a great time. I shared a few well placed work tidbits, listened to stories about military work in the Balkans in the 1990s and tried to give avuncular advise to a person moving to my old home town to take a big step up in his career. The man moving on in life drank Labatt 50. I took a gulp from one of his gathering gifted farewell pints when he briefly stepped away. Light and a bit jaggeddy around the hopping but in the depolarized context of a friendly gathering - as opposed to, what, a rally for "craft"? - it was fine enough. I still prefer mine with Clamato come the morning after.
Will the craft dialogue ever grow up to meet the challenges of the political construct? Will it stop being so needy as to suggest that an honest review of a bad junkety event "helps to make the case for bloggers and writers attending this kind of PR event"? I don't know. But the talking heads may have no choice if big beer is actually finding that sweet spot by making people happy with a peaceful accord between macro and micro through presenting greater and greater beer taps diversity. Smug is of no interest to anyone. The false and forced and failed approach that gave us the boring "crafty" stupidity is dying. As it should given we know that there simply aren't the hops or malt to support the 20% craft in 2020 fantasy. There may be no choice. Resource allocation? Speaking to actual demand? These are the nuts and bolts of any political discourse.
Yes, Oliver's analogy to shifting political boundaries on the beer shelf is very helpful. ABInBevLabatt and their sort will continue to make its money and will likely continue to adapt as needs be to do so. Fight that? Fight marketplace reality. You can think of that fight a Randian approach to the politics of craft: (i) start with an outlandish and utterly unworkable victim-based political theory and, then, (ii) go on and on about it until no one cares. The sort of theory that can suggest with a straight face that craft brewers are not interested in the profit making aspects of their business. I work in an actual political construct. The great thing about politics in a democracy is how it expresses and copes with choice and diversity. Politics is the art of knowing how things are and adapting to achieve ends. The art of the possible. Randian craft isn't possible.
In 2016 as more and more big craft sells out to big beer, organized independent craft will need to catch up with the politics of adapting to market demand, catch up with big beer if it wants to avoid being a blip in history. And it might take as brazen an approach as big beer took in 2015. Not sure craft has what it takes.

Very Yummy!! It reminded me of a pumpkin pie with the crust and topping of an crisp. Big hit with my family.
Very sweet. I'd cut down the sugar next time. The pumpkin filling came out a bit damp for my taste. Gave the impression it was still raw even though it wasn't. But good flavor! Maybe it will firm up once it cools completely.
This is THE most awesome pumpkin bar I have ever tasted! It was easy and fairly quick to make. I LOVE the spices, esp. the cloves in this recipe. Yes, it is a bit gooey, but they are too delicious to worry about it. Believe it or not, my family ate them over ice cream!
Not at all what I expected! It was the consistancy of pumpkin pie- I was hoping for something a little more cake-like. But the taste was good- just not a good bar recipe! I followed the recipe except that canned pumpkin comes in a 15oz can not 2 cups or 16oz and canned evaported milk only comes in 12oz cans, not 13 1/2oz.??? One other confusing thing that I think I guessed right on was the butter. It never states if it should be cold, room temp or melted. For the crust I assumed cold butter which I found easier to "cut in" with a pastey cutter then to use a mixer on (I did try the mixer first). But for the topping I was perplexed. I went with a little warmer then room temp butter which quickly made the brown sugar stick to the nuts and didn't work as a topping but more like sugared nuts scattered over the top. I liked the taste but I won't make this again as it is too soft and pie like to be cut into bars. Sorry!
If I were to make this again, I would cut the sugar an butter topping,it made it too sweet and a little wet.Also I used 1 can evaporated milk, 12oz ,the pumpkin filling turned out fine.My family didnt care for this recipe at all. They'd rather I make a pumpkin pie.I think they were'nt use to this texture in a bar form.And thats what they didnt like.
For the pumkin pie lover''s, this is a great alternative!
