Good for her. Kristen and her grandmother are clearly enlightened people. I love the comment about reading the Bible being like eating fish, it's brilliant.
Liberal views of the Bible have been around since the late 18th century (the first group to embrace the Higher Criticism was Unitarians), so it's good that it's finally percolating into the Christian mainstream.
Let's be honest, a lot of christians are really so-called "cafeteria christians" who slide their tray down the scripture and pick out the bits that fit their personal bias and opinions (or at least, those biases and opinions installed in them by someone with an agenda). And that's the problem with the bible – you can use it to support peace and love and cuddles and fluffy bunnies, or you can use it to support damnation, hellfire and the smiting of your enemies. How convenient. (Oh, and she was rubbish in The West Wing).
I know what you mean by 'cafeteria christians,' but I also think that can go both ways – the ones who only pick out the damnation bits, the ones who only pick out the 'god loves us and jesus is my friend' bits, plus all the other options when you pick and choose.
There are also the variations in how the bible is read and interpreted, whether it is literal or not. Unfortunately, we usually hear from the damnation literalists who then give everyone else so much bad press.
Just sayin'…
I like your response Douglas. To me the term 'cafeteria christian is emotionally laden and is meant as a put down. It seems to be used by those who believe they have a superior interpretation of the bible. In reality of all christian believers' who actually isn't a cafetreria christian i.e, puts on their christian tray the bits they mots like to devour. The haters gorge on the bits that support their hatred etc.
It's not 'a lot of Christians', Valksy. It's all of them. Believing it all would produce extreme incoherence.
Indeed, and not many Christians I know believe it all. It is fundamentalists who shout the loudest who say that we should believe it all. Most of us read the bible critically.
The point is they just claim to believe it all, but it is rubbish. That is simply not possible. You cannot believe, for example, that you can only be forgiven by God by the atoning blood of Christ (Paul), and that you can be forgiven by forgiving your brother (Jesus himself). Jesus is even described telling a rich young man that he must give away all his wealth to the poor to be justified before God. – Not a principle believed or practised by 'Bible-believing Christians.'
The point is that Jesus became the focus of a mystical cult around his death which he himself would have found baffling or offensive. The irony is that the 'sacrificed God-man' at the heart of Christian doctrine is an essentially pagan notion. Christianity as it developed was hardly possible outside the Roman empire with its penchant for mystery religions.
I am not like that, please don't say all as that offends good people like me that support financially many LGBT initives and why? Because I GIVE A DAMN…
Seems that Kristen is one of them.. you can't read scripture and they say that the homosexual act is anything other than sin.
Sorry Kristen, but the truth does debate.
Its worth remembering that the Bible has more to say in favor of slavery than it does against homosexuality…
God Bless her and her grandmother, for they are the true Christians who love gays, after all god said to love one another.
Loving everyone you say. Would that include child abusers?
Like those in the Catholic church Keith?
Tell me, what do YOU believe in? Apart from fear, hatred and intolerance?
I am a Catholic as are all of my family and all of my French friends.
don't put someone down because they have a positive attitude, keith. it's pathetic.
Irrelevent to this thread.
LGBTQI people are NOT up for debate on this site, the stories are.
There is a conflict between being Xtian and being Gay? Huh, who knew?
If Jesus came back tomorrow, he would be crucified again, this time by his so-called followers. Fundamentalist/Fanatical/Megachurch Xatians do not teach the word of God, they teach the word of man and no man can know God's thoughts.
He who would serve God for money, will serve the Devil for better wages.
Good for this woman for having realised young an important truth about life.
Being a Christian doesn't mean you can't also be for Gay rights. There are certain Christian religions such as Catholics who are against gay rights. But the United Church of Christ (UCC), is for same sex marriage. I just hate that there are so many articles where people have to wrestle with being Christian and being for equality of all people. Being Christian does not automatically mean you are intolerant…
There is no such thinhg as gay rights. heteros and homos have equal rights. For instance 2 hetero males may not marry, neither may two homo males.
Whether tha hetero males would want to marry or not is irrelevant, the point is, the law is the same for ALL!
Why should the homos brigade have special rights?
Oh dry up, Keith. you have no idea what you're talking about.
fak off
Poor Keith, his comments are getting more histrionic.,… as they keep getting deleted LOL! Oh, bless….
Bye bye Keith-Delete! We loved your offensive tirade, but like all stupidity, it eventually gets washed away by reason.
I'm always amazed at how stupid some people are. A number of countries around the world allow two men to marry, or two women. If you haven't heard that, it's time for you to do more reading and listening, and less talking. You may not like it, but that doesn't mean that it isn't allowed.
Totally irrelevent.
LGBTQI people are NOT up for debate on this site, the stories are.
Thats right, Many Christians aren't bigots.
It's just ashame that the hateful ones do tend to shout louder.
We must never forget that some Religions and thoses within are publically calling to be allowed to perform Civil Partnerships & Marriage (Equal)
I am about to become a Catholic, however I am NOT against Gay rights at all. In fact I am all for Gay rights, hence why I take the time to come on sites like this so I can know what is happenning in the Gay community, please do not tarr all of us with the same brush!!!! Sure, some are down right self righteous as and when it fits, but some of us like me are all for equal rights for EVERYONE, and that means LGBT people.
She has always been a supporter of the LGBT community and you can see Kristen herself talking about this as she accepts the Vanguard Award at the GLADD Media Awards in Los Angeles earlier this year:
Oh, and by the way, both PInkNews and myself have mispelled her name. It's Kristin, not Kristen.
Why picking "bad things " from Bible anyway?
The ones that do that condemn themselves to Hell. Hell on Earth.
Go with the good stuff. Plenty of gay love in the Bible. Jonathan and David- 2.Samuel 1:26 Naomi and Ruth-Ruth 1:14.
Johnathan and david were best freinds, nothing else. Stop trying to read your slant into perfectly innocent stories. As for ruth and naomi your hugely mistaken, she was her mother in law that she loved as a mother. She then got married, to a MAN. But yeah they were all gay… with florence nightingale, janis joplin, elizabeth I, da vinci, blah blah who you imagine to be gay to normalise what you stand for
Good for her.
Always welcome to have such support away from the usual bigots within her religion.
Good for her. It's always good to have such support. It makes a change from the bigots.
she reads the bible, eh. She better read it again if she thinks homosexuality is NOT a sin.
ure such a twit
Do you really think Jesus would call someone a "sick vile sodomite" and "disgusting buggerers"? The only people he lambasted were the religious folk of his day who tried to prevent people from reaching out to God. You would do well to take note.
Please keep your hateful comments to yourself or go back to the 'christian' institute and make them there. Do you really think Jesus would be hateful like you?!
LOL! That is THE stupidest thing I have ever heard.
How do you like your comments being deleted? Fun, huh? I'm having a blast.
1 – It really is bloody irritating to put up with ignorant fools who don't even bother to read the books whose authority they claim. Jesus said that Torah was made for man, and not the other way around, and that treating others as you would wish to be treated is the meaning of the Law and the Prophets. Luke presents him as praising the faith of a pagan Roman outwith Torah against that of those who observed it.
2 – Emotive disgust about faeces is irrelevant to AIDS, which is caused by a virus. But emotive disgust about guys getting it together is what you're really about. Or pretending emotive disgust?
"Homosexual acts were and are fornication."
So what. Get over it. And do it quickly, you comments are being deleted!
Then you are a hypocrite (surprise, surprise) if you claim Jesus as your moral authority. He seemed to allow of no exceptions to the rule to love your neighbour, whether you find said neighbour's habits agreeable or not.
Another irrelevent comment.
LGBTQI people are NOT up for debate on this site, the stories are.
You are not supposed to love sisgusting things though are you. If your neighbour is a child abuser, you are correct to denounce him as a gross sinner and morally repugnant individual. It is the same with homosexuality. Paslms 97:10 says hate "what is bad.". This hatred is directed toward the act not the person, therefore, jesus command is not broken.
jesus denounce the Pharisees of his day yet he did not hate them, just their acts.
You once again shift the goalposts, Keith. And if you are hot on the Psalms, infant Babylonians must come within your definition of what is bad, or at least worthless, to judge by the charming individual who penned no. 137.
You have ignored the interesting point I made that exposed your error. I told you that jesus denounce the Pharisees for their hypocritical acts. Either you believe this denubcuiation to be hate or not. If hate, then why did jesus say to love your neighbor? If not, it is also proper to denounce other wrong acts. You see the point?
Yes, but in the bible it also says not to cast judgement upon other people. You sir have no right to judge me for an orientation I have no right over, you also are not allowed to tell me that I am going to hell for being a "homosexual" "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39 KJV
So 'denounce' me if you will. Though you have no right. I shall continue living the way I was made, I never chose to be "a dirty rotten faggot" neither am I a dirty rotten faggot, I am merely a man who loves another man, and I'm quite happy with my boyfriend.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- After a rough week of final exams and job interviews, Cody Pearcy is looking forward to being home in Phenix City on Saturday, surrounded by family and friends while waiting to see if the interviews paid off.
"It's been super tough, trying to juggle talking to teams all day and finding time to study," said the Huntingdon College senior, who is majoring in business administration with an emphasis on management. "It's been pretty difficult."
No joke. While his fellow seniors are trying to land jobs with big eight accounting firms and the like, Pearcy hopes to get a call from one of 32 firms that comprise a selective industry known as the National Football League.
The 5-foot-10, 161-pound Pearcy finished his eligibility at Division III Huntingdon as the school's record-setting receiver and return man. Now, he has a legitimate shot of hearing his name called as the NFL Draft winds down Saturday.
According to ESPN.com, he is ranked the No. 54 receiver, behind the likes of Alabama's Darius Hanks (47) and Houston's Tyron Carrier (49) and ahead of Florida's Deonte Thompson (55) and Auburn's Quindarius Carr (69).
He could be the second-highest player from a state college other than Alabama and Auburn drafted, behind UNA's Janoris Jenkins.
Unless UAB's Matt McCants gets the call first.
McCants is not sure where he fits into the draft. He said the recent prognosis has him going anywhere from the fourth to the seventh round with a possibility of not being drafted.
The Sporting News, in its mock draft posted earlier this week, projected McCants a touch higher. He is picked by the Sporting News to go to the Miami Dolphins with the 10th pick of the third round.
Most projections, however, guess that he will last longer than the Sporting News says.
McCants, who is a shade under 6-foot-6 and weighs 308 pounds, is not hung up on where -- or if -- he's picked over the next two days.
"It's not where you get drafted, it's what you do when you get in there," McCants said. "I'm just focused on being in a camp and proving that I can play in the NFL and be successful at it."
Another longshot draft possibility is Jacksonville State linebacker Monte Lewis, ranked 75th at his spot.
But no player has come further faster than Pearcy, who paid for offseason workouts and a personal trainer with a weekend job as a roofer and was invited to participate at Alabama State's pro day by Hornets coaches, who knew of his reputation and were friendly with the Huntingdon staff.
Pearcy blew scouts from the Giants and Dolphins away with Joe Webb-like numbers at pro day: a 4.31 40-yard dash, a 44-inch vertical jump, a broad jump of 10 1⁄ 2 feet and shuttle numbers that ranked among the best at the NFL Combine.
"Ever since pro day, it's taken a turn for the better," Pearcy said. "I was hoping for an AFL (Arena Football League) or CFL chance at that point. Now, they're saying I'm anywhere from a late-round guy to a priority free agent. None of the scouts are going to release any information, so it's going to be a waiting game."
He has heard from numerous teams looking for help in numerous ways.
"They're telling me I'd be doing a lot of special teams -- kick return, punt return, even gunner on the punt team. Anywhere they want to utilize me," Pearcy said.
His lack of size, particularly the 161 pounds, is an obvious red flag in NFL circles. But Pearcy has made his best pitch to NFL player personnel directors: Give him an NFL weight room, an NFL training table and an NFL diet and he'll bulk up to 181 pounds.
Players from state schools other than Alabama and Auburn who could be drafted in the NFL Draft:
> ALABAMA A&M -- ILB Willie Fuller, OLB Corey Hart, S Rico Porch.
> ALABAMA STATE -- OLB Nigel Carr, CB Jamire Williams, OT Kevin Bryant, DE Jimmy Daniels.
> JACKSONVILLE STATE -- OLB Monte Lewis, DT Jamison Wadley, DB AJ Davis.
> NORTH ALABAMA -- CB Janoris Jenkins, ILB Marcus Dowtin, DE James Brooks, CB Deandre Morgan, S Bryan Thomas, CB Darnell Jackson, OG Daron Rose, S Lucas Darr.
> SAMFORD -- S Corey White, QB Dustin Taliaferro, DE Alex Davis.
> SOUTH ALABAMA -- FB Paul Bennett, FB Kevin Helms, CB Anton Graphenreed, WR Lamontis Gardner, S Justin Harris.
> STILLMAN -- P Ronnie Partridge, TE TC Logan.
> TROY -- OG James Brown, DE Jonathan Massaquoi, K Michael Taylor, P Will Goggans, CB Jimmie Anderson, WR Brett Moncrief.
> TUSKEGEE -- CB Kenny Baker, S Adam Lucas.
> UAB -- OT Matt McCants, DT Elliott Henigan, RB Pat Shed, OG Terence Edge, S Jamie Bender, CB TJ Ballou.
> WEST ALABAMA-- OG Chuck Curry, WR Antonio Hughes, DE Joshua Lewis, WR Kendrick May.

US drivers are starting to learn what it's like living here in the surveillance capital of the World (at least 1 CCTV camera per 14 Brits and proud!)
New speed cameras installed in Montgomery County, Maryland, are proving unpopular with some sectors of the local community. Their repeated refusals to pay fines, and more recent habits of driving past cameras with middle finger extended has provoked an angry response from local cop chiefs – because it seems the highway hooligans are in fact, er, all cops.
After their union alerted them to the fact that the ticket is issued to the owner of the vehicle, not the driver, officers have been keeping the pedal to the metal and flouting their own laws. Of the 224 tickets, issued to police officers in the last eight months of 2007 and not excused by responding to an emergency, over two thirds have not been paid.
One outraged county councillor even naively thundered, "You can't have one set of laws for police officers and another one for the rest of the world!" - come now, we all know that's not exactly true...

Capriccio caters to success in South Kitsap
It was another day in a long list of hotel rooms.
They no longer were new cities — just dots on the map Desiree' Steffens headed toward in her position as a regional director for a medical imaging company.
Several years ago, friends began advising her to simply find a career that made her happy.
"I love to organize parties," Steffens said. "That's where the wedding and event planning started."
Steffens, 55, expanded beyond that when she purchased Capriccio Catering in November.
The business, which was opened in 2007 by the Kruger family, remains at Towne Square Mall, but has undergone several changes in recent years. In addition to being a catering company, Capriccio initially was open as a café that offered gluten-free menu options and an assortment of teas.
But the Krugers eventually focused on catering and closed the café. Steffens has reopened that area, but with a different focus. It serves as a visual to customers with various items, including floral arrangements, that can be used if they hire Steffens to cater a wedding.
"We can offer full or partial wedding services," said Steffens, adding that encompasses wedding coordination, officiants, a disc jockey and flowers. "We can pretty much do anything for the wedding that needs to be done. Our brides are really happy because they only have to deal with one vendor."
Steffens offers a pair of wedding packages for $150 or $300. The former includes bouquets for the bride and maid of honor and boutonnière for the groom and best man. The more expensive package provides those to several others in the wedding party.
She said she also can customize wedding packages.
That works for the food, as well. Steffens said she generally charges $15-$25 per person for foods at events, but those rates can be adjusted depending on the meal. For those looking to spend less, she might provide one salad instead of two or three.
But Capriccio is not limited to weddings. Steffens said a soroptimist group meets weekly in the event room on the second level of Towne Square Mall and she caters their meals.
While Steffens is not a gourmet chef — she noted that she uses them for larger parties — Capriccio can provide an array of meal options for events. Those range from vegetarian to chicken paella — a recipe Steffens inherited from former owner Daniell Kruger. Steffens said other popular plates include barbecue and lasagna. She said of the options are home-style dishes.
"If we have notice, we'll cater pretty much anything," she said, adding that travel to Seattle and Tacoma is not an issue.
In addition, Capriccio will offer floral classes taught by Diana Arbuckle beginning at 6 p.m. April 20 in the store.
"You have to learn how to wire, tape and make bows," Steffens said. "Those are the essential things you need to be able to do to make your floral arrangements."
Steffens also plans to host cooking classes at the restaurant. She has not set a date for the first one, but it will be hosted by the owner of the former Eileen's Filipino Food on Harrison Avenue.

No tropical-storm formation is expected in the North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico for the next five days, according to the National Hurricane Center's Sunday morning (June 8) Tropical Weather Outlook.
The Outlook briefly describes significant areas of disturbed weather and their potential for tropical-cyclone formation during the next 48 hours and the next five days.
In the Eastern Pacific, meteorologists are following a broad low-pressure area several hundred miles south-southwest of Acapulco, Mexico, that is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
During the next five days, a tropical depression is regarded as likely as the low moves northwestward at 5 to 10 mph. The odds are 40 percent during the next two days and 80 percent during the next five.

Summerfest reports attendance was up at this year's festival
One year after sizzling heat took a toll on Summerfest attendance, the Big Gig recovered slightly, as 840,356 fans flocked to the lakefront, according to figures released Thursday.
This year's turnout was a 4.3% increase over last year, when 805,437 fans showed up at Summerfest. But the 2013 total is still less than the 878,636 fans who attended in 2011. »Read Full Article(35)

Strawberry Festival continues through June 17
MARYSVILLE — The Adult Trike Races have been cancelled for a second year a row, but the rest of the Marysville Strawberry Festival's events are still set to take place as planned.
Jodi Hiatt confirmed that the Adult Trike Races that had been scheduled for Friday, June 15, will not be able to go ahead due to a lack of participating teams.
"It is a really fun spectator event and I know the teams that have participated in the past had fun," said Hiatt, who still hopes to revive the event for future Strawberry Festivals.
In the meantime, Funtastic Shows' "world's finest carnival" will come back to the Marysville Middle School play field from June 14-17. The carnival hours will run from 4-10 p.m. on Thursday, June 14, and Friday, June 15, as well as until 11 p.m. on Saturday, June 16, and until 5 p.m. on Sunday, June 17. Opening times for June 16 and 17 will depend on the weather.
This year's Market in Asbery Field will also return through the weekend of June 15-17. The Market will run from 2-9 p.m. on Friday, June 15, from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 16, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, June 17, at Asbery Field.
The Emerald City Car Club Car Show on Saturday, June 16, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., will also present a variety of classic restored and custom cars and trucks on site.
The Marysville Kiwanis Club will likewise be represented at this year's Market, through their beer garden on Friday, June 15, from 5-10 p.m., and Saturday, June 16, from noon to 6:30 p.m., on Seventh Street between Asbery Field and Totem Middle School. On Sunday, June 17, the Kiwanis will serve up a pancake breakfast from 7-11 a.m.
The Marysville Community Food Bank's raffle to raise funds for their "Food For Thought" program will follow the same hours as the Market at Asbery Park. This program has provided 19 low-income elementary students with enough food on Friday afternoons to feed them through the weekends during the school year.
"The children come to school on Mondays with their thoughts on school and not their stomachs," said Dell Deierling, director of the Marysville Community Food Bank. "We have been providing this service to 19 kids since the start of May and the results are remarkable. Given the success of this program, we are gearing up for the 2012-13 school year in hopes of serving even more kids.
Raffle tickets will be on sale at the food bank's booth at the Market. Purchase tickets for $1 each for your chance to win a $50 spa gift certificate, a $20 gift certificate for Don's Restaurant, a Starbucks gift card and more. All proceeds will go toward the purchase of food to support the "Food For Thought" program.
The Marysville Strawberry Festival Talent Show will take to the stage of the Marysville-Pilchuck High School auditorium again at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 14.
The M-PHS auditorium is located at 5611 108th St. NE in Marysville, and doors open at 5:30 p.m. before the Talent Show starts. Tickets are being pre-sold for $4 and will go for $5 at the door, and children under 7 years old will be admitted for free. Call Marcy Giesler at 360-653-6584 for more information.
This year's Marysville Strawberry Festival Rose Planting ceremony continues on in the venue it gained in 2010.
The annual ceremony will take place at 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 16, at Totem Middle School, located at 1605 Seventh St. in Marysville.
During the ceremony, which is slated to take about an hour, representatives from the Portland Royal Rosarians will plant roses in honor of individuals in the community.
This free event is open to all ages, and light refreshments will be offered afterward.
With its registration and setup time starting at 4 p.m. — followed by judging which commences at 5 p.m., the parade participants lining up around 5:45 p.m. and the parade proper kicking off at 6 p.m. — the Kiddies Parade on Saturday, July 16, offers a host of surprises each year, as entrants ranging from individuals to groups of 20 or more sign up for one of five categories.
Bobbi Easley, who began coordinating the Kiddies Parade just last year, explained that the categories have remained the same each year, from the costume categories for both individuals and groups, to the animals category for pets ranging from dogs to horses that their owners (or riders) have dressed up.
The floats category's restriction is that its entries can't have motors, while the wheels category can include everything from bicycles to wagons.
Each of the five categories of entrants will have its own staging area at the start of the Kiddies Parade route, at Totem Middle School on Seventh Street. The parade will then head south on State Avenue until it reaches Fifth Street, at which point awards will be given to the participants in Comeford Park.
The grand prize winners of the Kiddies Parade will get to appear in the Grand Parade later that same day. Entry forms for the Kiddies Parade can be found online at http://maryfest.org.
The Grand Parade officially starts at 7:45 p.m. on 76th Street, to ensure that entrants are rolling southbound on State Avenue in front of the TV cameras by 8 p.m. With any luck, the parade wraps up on Third Street and Alder Avenue by 10 p.m., just in time for the half-hour fireworks show.
Carol Kapua reported that this year's high school marching bands are set to include both Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell, the latter making their Strawberry Festival Grand Parade debut. Likewise, while the Dolls have put in Grand Parade appearances in previous years, this year also marks the first combined performance by the Dolls & Gentlemen Drill Team and Drill Line. Although American Legion Post 178 and the Arlington Drag Strip Reunion are familiar fixtures in the area, they've never had entries in the Grand Parade before, but like "Survivor" contestant Michael Jefferson of Marysville, they'll be cruising down State Avenue as part of the event this year.
Call 360-659-7664 for more information.
The Boys and Girls Club's Marysville Unit is hosting its own open house to coincide with the Strawberry Festival on Friday, June 15, from 6-8 p.m. at 1010 Beach Ave. The open house is free and will include a barbecue, games and other activities. The event will also includes sign-up opportunities for the club's summer camps. For more information contact Christina Trader at 360-659-2576.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida - SpaceX is set to launch its third supply capsule to the International Space Station Monday afternoon. Launch time is 3:58 p.m. CDT from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, weather is 80 percent "go," and you can watch the launch on NASA-TV beginning at 2:45 p.m. CDT. Here are three reasons to watch or at least check in later to see how it went.
1. Did they launch it? SpaceX is far ahead of other companies bidding to become NASA's chief taxi to the station, but technical issues not fatal to the missions have cropped up in previous flights. This launch was originally scheduled in March but was delayed by technical issues.
2. Did you know the cool stuff on board? This Dragon capsule carries legs for the Robonaut 2 robot on board the space station, a laser communicator for astronauts to experiment with, and a cubesat built from a smartphone. It also has an experiment aboard by Huntsville scientists.
3. Did the rocket's legs work? Wait, legs? The rocket has legs? Yes, the Falcon 9 first stage has folding legs attached. They're part of SpaceX's long-term strategy of returning boosters to Earth landings to save money. Check this video of cool SpaceX testing. This booster won't land, but SpaceX hopes to use the legs to test part of its plan for a softer splashdown.

The 9th annual Dayton Fiesta Run was help on Saturday the 8th.
This is the second year that I have participated in this race. I enjoyed it so much last year that when I was chatting with my best friend's daughter, Vanessa about running her first race. It was a no brainer to steer her clear of a larger race happening in Portland this month and point her in the direction of this race. At little chatting back a forth with her mom, Amber, and a plan was hatched. They would run the Dayton Fiesta 5k and I would try not to cheer too loudly for Vanessa. I tend to be exuberant in my encouragement.

After the race was done we headed in for our lunch. The lunch was part of the race entry fee. No seriously! For $20 we, ran a fun well organized race, had lunch, had a glass of wine or beer, oh and were able to keep the glass said drink was in! For twenty bucks! Sign me up again next year. The choices for lunch was either a veggie wrap (thank you it was yummy) or a pork sandwich (which I was told was delicious).
The beer was provided by Fire Mountain Brew House. I enjoyed the porter, very yummy! The wine was provided by Suefert Winery which is also where lunch, awards, and drinks were served. My friend enjoyed the wine and said it was delightful.
I would recommend putting this race on your radar next year. You will not be disappointed with the kind volunteers, easy to follow route, nice fellow racers, and fabulous race director. I will be running it again next year. Put it in your calendar and make it an annual family event. Laugh and run on, my friends!

Avanafil Overview
Avanafil is a Drug for erectile dysfunction (ED) developed by Vivus Inc. that is currently undergoing clinical testing. Like Viagra, it is a selective phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, and works by supporting blood flow to the penis to help men achieve an erection. Data collected thus far has shown that Avanafil significantly improved erectile function in study participants.
Since Avanafil is not yet on the market, information regarding prices and satisfaction guarantees is not available at this time.
Avanafil Product Details
Like similar Drugs, Avanafil is taken orally prior to sexual intercourse. Studies show Avanafil works in as little as 15 minutes. This is much faster than Viagra, which usually takes about 30 minutes to deliver its effects.
Good About Avanafil
- Avanafil works in much the same way as Viagra
- Clinical trials have shown that Avanafil is effective
- Avanafil can work within just 15 minutes
- Avanafil may be suitable for men taking heart medications
Bad About Avanafil
- It will likely be some time before Avanafil is released onto the market
- Avanafil is formulated with chemical rather than natural ingredients
- Headaches, back pain, and nasal congestion were side effects reported by study participants
- No information is available about how much the Drug will cost
Avanafil The Bottom Line
The release of Avanafil onto the market is likely still years away. Initial results show it works faster than Viagra, wears off faster, and is associated with fewer side effects. These benefits may make Avanafil a preferred treatment option for men with erectile dysfunction in the not too distant future.

Debut novelist Tupelo Hassman graduated from the master of fine arts program at Columbia University. She may or may not have graduated from a trailer park.
In "Girlchild," Hassman's spunky, shy and almost accidentally intelligent heroine, Rory Dawn Hendrix, is living in a trailer park outside Reno, "south of nowhere." Her mother, Jo, is a truck-stop bartender prone to trusting the wrong men.
The novel is less a discrete story than a confrontation with -- and indeed, an expose of -- the trials of growing up in poor white America.
These woes are ample: sexual misconduct, crippling alcoholism, profoundly tangled family structures. They made me squirm at first. Hassman writes with such candor and offhanded certainty about what I'd always viewed as stereotypes -- the "core values of violence and physical intimidation without requiring a move from the couch" --– that I wondered whether she was allowed to come down this hard.
The book's portraiture is vivid and hauntingly unfamiliar; Hassman's personal history matters less than the artistic care she takes here -- and she takes a great deal of care.
Still, recommending "Girlchild" feels a bit like recommending Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life." I've got to caution readers with two hands -- it might not be what you're expecting; it's not a linear story; it's impressionistic.
The novel can feel like a wandering prose-poem. It comes in these little 1-2 page chapters that nod only occasionally at direct causality. It tackles big topics: "Escape," "Motherhood," "Justice," but in a pleasing way, in the manner of choral fugues.
Hassman's specific themes and motifs harmonize and overlap with a pastiche of social service documents, newspaper clippings, arrest records and personal letters. It's a ragtag symphony, and at times it feels gimmicky.
Hassman is addicted to ghost-meanings and innuendoes. Here's Rory, discovering the Girl Scout Handbook, which becomes her constant companion:
"It's an old copy and it's starting to fall apart. But I hold onto my Handbook because nothing else makes promises like that around here, promises with these words burning inside them: honor and duty and try. Try and duty I hear all the time, as in 'try to get some sleep' and 'get me some duty-free cigs at the Indian store,' while honor's reserved exclusively for the Honorable Joseph A. on The People's Court, as in, "Your honor, I was just trying to get my wallet out to pay for the duty-free cigs when my gun went off."
This kind of writing carries an inescapable whiff of MFA training. It shows an appreciation for language as ends, not means. It focuses intently on the novel's machinery -- its structure, its voice, its form -- but often at the expense of two elements most readers hold dear: character and conflict.Sam Allard is a critic in Cleveland, Ohio.

Small Dealers Holding On, For Now
Small retailers are holding their own for now, but many said the economic crisis and credit freeze will cut deeper into their businesses as the year progresses.
"Fortunately, it hasn't affected us yet because all of our vendors have us on 30-day payments," Scott Knouse of Knouse-Fisher Technologies, Burnham, Pa., said during D&H Distributing's recent Mid-Atlantic Fall Tech Show in Hershey, Pa. "The future, though, will get worse, especially if vendors cut their terms."
Knouse, who runs a small retail store and service business focused on computer-related products, said hardware and software sales are still good, but that many small- to medium-size businesses have cut back on their consumerables, such as printer toner. "That's usually the first thing to go," he said.
Joe Dries, owner of Computer Run in Pitman, N.J., said independent dealers are better positioned than larger nationals to weather the downturn, mainly because of their deep customer relationships and ability to survive on lower volume sales.
"The big guys need more people coming through their doors," he said.
"But we have to buy right. We have to change our buying habits because we can't keep inventory."
Like other PC and CE dealers at the show, Dries, who sells cameras, small networks, computer systems and other electronics, has been pushing more repair and set-up services as a way to offset flagging product sales and margins. "We've been around for 26 years, so the word of mouth is, If you need it fixed or installed the right way, come to us,'" he said. "We can do it cheaper than the Geek Squad and we can do it right."
Matt Riley, D&H's senior director of financial services, said dealers across the board are decreasing their inventory levels, relying more heavily on the distributor's services, such as drop shipping. Meanwhile, D&H is meeting all of its sales goals for the year, while exceeding some, said Riley and D&H co-president Dan Schwab.

Hello and Happy Fall!
I finally have the inside of my house decorated for fall but haven't even started on the outside yet. It still feels like summer but I couldn't resist getting the pumpkins and fall decor out. So many of you have been sharing your fall decor and I just had to join in on the fun!
I love orange and aqua together!
Most of my fall decorations came from the dollar store or craft stores. I painted some of the pumpkins a few years ago and they still look good as new!
I always try to use stuff I already have from previous years. That being said, the Harvest pillow is new. I don't know how but the darn thing just jumped into my cart while I was at Homegoods! Don't you hate when that happens? ; )
One of my favorite spaces to decorate for different seasons and holidays is my Coffee Station.
If you follow me on Instagram you already saw a sneak peek of my turquoise Keurig. Don't you think it would look really nice on some new countertops that oh, you know, aren't dark green! Hopefully...fingers crossed...that will happen sometime in the near furture.
I took the doors off this cabinet earlier this year and now I can display my dishes. We use the pumpkin dishes in September, October and November. There are a few pieces I still want but unfortunately they're no longer available.
So that wraps up my Fall Home Tour! Tell me, have you decorated for fall yet? I'd love to hear from you! You can leave a comment below.
Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome week!
Linking up here ....

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Former UAB track All-American Rhiannon Johns recently won the women's Canadian National Marathon Championship in Ottawa, Canada in Johns' home territory.
Johns took the women's national title this past weekend with a time of two hours 47 minutes and 11 seconds. The Sault Ste. Marie, Canada native was both an All-American on the track and an Academic All-American in the classroom for UAB. She held UAB outdoor records in the 5,000 and 10,000-meter runs, as well as the 5K indoor marks prior to this season.
She finished 12th in the 10K at the NCAA Championships in 2013 to cap her five-year career and also qualified for the finals in 2011 in the 5K. Just a season ago, she claimed a runner-up finish in the 5K at the Canadian Nationals with a time of 16:26.71.
In her very successful five-year stint in Birmingham, Johns was selected to the Conference USA All-Academic Team three times, she was a two-time C-USA champion in the 10K, and was a four-time recipient of the C-USA Academic Medal. She was also a three-time USTFCCCA All-Academic selection and was awarded Presidential Honors with a 4.0 GPA as an undergrad.

Trying to find a job in a shrinking field can be very difficult. Sometimes a better solution is to launch a new career based on your unique strengths and personal preferences rather than your past occupation.
Ann and Franklin were both commercial lending officers. They lost their jobs when their institutions collapsed and were taken over by other banks.
Franklin was great at math and enjoyed computers. He had an undergraduate degree in Economics. His favorite part of being a loan officer was the financial analysis.
Anns favorite part of being a commercial banker was making presentations. She had a great sense of humor, and enjoyed making people laugh. Shed won many speech contests in high school. Unlike Franklin, what she least enjoyed about banking was the financial analysis.
Each of them figured out what was important to them in work. Then they brainstormed potential new career directions, and systematically explored them.
Franklin is becoming an actuary. His new employer is paying for his certification, and allowing him time to study for licensure.
Ann is launching a new career as a professional speaker, specializing in humorous after dinner talks. Shes already booked several paid appearances, and her business plan is moving along as projected.
These two successful commercial bankers re-invented themselves in very different ways. Their new careers came from who they are as individuals, rather than their past occupations.

Jefferson County sheriff's Chief Deputy Randy Christian said the man, whose name hasn't been released, is en route to Birmingham police headquarters for questioning.
The man was being sought in connection with two holdups Wednesday. The first robbery happened just after 4 p.m. when the man entered Little Caesar's in the 1100 block of Center Point Parkway. He ordered a pizza and, when the cash register opened, pulled a gun and took money from the register before running away.
A short time later, about 4:25 p.m., deputies received a report of a second robbery at Dollar General in the 200 block of Brewster Road. The robber placed a package of candy on the counter and, when the register was opened, pulled a gun again and took money from the cash drawer.
The businesses are about four miles apart, Christian said.
Christian said earlier today he believed the robberies are linked to a similar spate in Birmingham over 10 days. In Birmingham, the first robbery happened March 15 at Bojangles on Montclair Road. Then, police say, there was a spate of holdups on March 24 and 25 at KFC on Crestwood Boulevard, Rite Aid on Montclair Road, McDonald's on Eighth Avenue South, and the University McDonald's on Fifth Avenue South.
Police spokesman Sgt. Johnny Williams Jr. said that in each case, the man approached the counter to make a small purchase. When the cashier opened the register, he pulled a knife or gun, snatched money from the cash drawer, and fled.
He brandished a pistol in the Bojangles case, but used a knife in the rest of the robberies, Williams said.

Much strum und drang lately in the opinion pages of this newspaper about the contraceptive issue. Letters from Bryan J. Sebeck, Jim Andersen, and Mr. Don Curran commenting on and about the Feb. 17 op-ed. by the congressman, Dan Benishek. Both Bryan J. Sebeck and Jim Andersen are correct about the 500 word limit to "interpret" (key word) this complex issue.
An accommodation was made by the editors of this newspaper for Bishop Alexander K. Sample of the Catholic Diocese of Marquette to write a March 14 op-ed. I do not quibble with the bishop's right to write this article, as a citizen or even with his position as a high ranking member of his church, or this newspaper publishing the article. I would only hope to see an alternative view in the same venue. The bishop has a large megaphone and bully pulpit within his own organization to council and advice, members of his own flock. I am wondering if this article is more of a political appeal to the Protestant Evangelical folks, many who want to see this health care bill to fail in its entirety?
The bishop wants a variance for his church's view on reproductive rights. If we extrapolate this a bit, we would find religions that do not believe in blood transfusions, religion's that have an aversion to pork products and may not want to porcine parts used in a surgical procedure, religions that only believe in faith alone, etc. etc. Should these interests also be accommodated and given a carve out in the health care bill?
The bishop surrounds himself with boiler plate, as he talks of the good the church has done, their many struggles, the great and noble people within the church, etc. etc. I believe this all to be true, and I admire and salute them for this.
I personally would like to see the bishops get back to their "economic justice for all" position, which they were in the forefront for decades and thought was a most noble cause. I am in disagreement with the bishop about the "red herring" argument, as a large percentage of Catholics, have and do use contraceptives, and will do so in the future.
The slippery slope that I am concerned about is that the start of health care coverage for all may just slip slide away.
The same day the bishop's op-ed. appeared, on page 1 above the fold, a sad and tragic story was presented of abuse of an infant by the mother. It would seem (at least to me) that contraceptives might have been a less tragic outcome than the one that unfolded. I have many causes that I help fund as best I can, some are environmental, some are political, but most are where I see real human needs. I have about 15 of these both nationally and locally.
As I send this letter to the press, it will be accompanied by another letter with a generous donation to Planned Parenthood for the first time.

Since Danny is still at Camp Ramah, I've had a little more time to read my email inbox, and it is buzzing about all the proposed Federal cuts to Medicaid, (called Medi-Cal in our state) and how those cuts would impact families taking care of a child or adult with developmental disabilities. The Obama Administration is opposed to most Medicaid cuts, but the issue is still in play, tossed around like a political football.
Compared to Medicare and Social Security, Medicaid is the lesser known of the three major entitlement Federal programs, but is absolutely essential for the most vulnerable populations in society. As the Almanac of Policy Issues says, "The significance of Medicaid's role in providing health insurance cannot be overstated. The Medicaid program covers millions of low-income women, children, elderly people and individuals with disabilities. "
For adults with developmental disabilities, Medicaid is their main source of funding for almost everything they need or do –medical care, in-home care, residential services, even transportation. For us, Medicaid is our secondary health insurance for Danny, after our private PPO insurance, and it has helped with big ticket items, like wheelchairs and voice output devices (which run around $8,000). If the program is block granted, that means states would receive a fixed amount of money, and many programs would be likely be drastically reduced or eliminated. With spending caps, the ceilings will be set well below current spending, again resulting in program cuts.
On The Arc website (the national group founded in 1953 by parents originally called the National Association for Retarded Children), there were moving stories about the four families who traveled to Washington DC last week to tell their story, including Natalie and Ruben from Texas.
I identified with them at once—parents of 31-year-old TJ, who was born with significant intellectual and developmental disabilities. He needs assistance with everyday activities like bathing, brushing his teeth, getting dressed in the morning, communicating effectively, walking, and preparing his meals. Medicaid covers TJ's neurologist, endocrinologist, rehabilitation specialist, occasional home care, speech therapist, orthopedic specialist, primary care, and his prescriptions. Medicaid Home and Community Services funding has also paid for modifications to their home that allow TJ to live with them, like ramps and bathroom modifications.
If cuts are passed to Medicaid, there will be increased pressure for religious and faith groups to pick up the slack and fund/provide more help directly to their congregants and members. In essence, it would be turning back the clock to the time when some local communities did an adequate job of taking care of the vulnerable, and others didn't. Doesn't sound like a fair playing field to me.

The number one question I get asked in interviews these days is "What is New Adult romance?"
The short answer is that it's a romance that features a heroine between the ages of 18 and 25.
The long answer is that it fulfills not only the age gap between YA and adult romance, but it delves into the pivotal life choices that females make at this age without the presence of parents, and with friends and romantic relationships as the strongest influence. It's a time of great freedom and exposure to new people, but it always means new responsibilities and messy mistakes. Wince-worthy mistakes. Hey, they don't call them beer goggles for no reason.
Personally, I find the intensity and the passion of that age awesome and fascinating. I remember staying up all night at Denny's talking about how we were going to change the world and attending protests against human trafficking and rallies for Green Peace. I also remember choosing to go out for Backbeat Night at the club instead of studying for an exam and totally sleeping right through it the next morning. Which would fall under the category of Poor Choice. But the friends I made in college are still some of my best friends and I think I matured more in two years than in the previous six before that.
So I enjoyed revisiting those years in writing True, my first New Adult novel. Rory is the silent observer at college, a pre-med student, the sidekick to her more vivacious roommates. When they introduce her to Tyler, a charming bad boy with tattoos and a dysfunctional family, she finds his interest puzzling, but is willing to ignore the red flags in order to experience her first sexual experiences. What she doesn't expect to do is fall in love with him. Tyler doesn't either, and he realizes that he has made a huge mistake in involving Rory in his life, which includes a drug addicted mother and a father in prison. Will logic win out over love?
I hope readers will have fun (and maybe cry) reading True and if you bump into my mother, let's not mention to her that I skipped class because I was hungover, 'kay? Thanks.

Christian education involves the whole person: physical, mental, social, and spiritual. All elements influencing the education of a child must be consistent and must be properly reinforced.
In view of this, it is important that a Christian school be supported by a Christian home and a Bible-believing church. Lakeland Christian Academy was founded to educate the children of Christian parents. The school replaces neither the home nor the church, but is rather an extension of them. All three must be complementary, which means that all three must be in biblical agreement for a truly well-rounded Christian education for the child. It is therefore necessary that all LCA parents agree with the philosophy and teaching of the school.
The following admission policies have been adopted to ensure consistent standards of admission in agreement with the philosophy and by-laws of the school.
The parents must profess to be born-again, Bible-believing, Christ-honoring Christians. (An exception may be made when only one parent is a born-again believer, providing the non-believing spouse agrees not to oppose the biblical teaching of the school.) The parents must complete the section on the Application for Admission stating their relationship with Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior and live their lives accordingly.
The parents must state, in writing, that they have read and agree with the Statement of Faith of the school, and both parents must agree to have their child(ren) educated accordingly.
The parents must agree that:
a. the school has full discretion in the discipline of their child(ren) within the bounds of the discipline policy.
b. they will meet all tuition and other financial obligations.
c. they will willingly support the school in prayer and in lending practical help as needed by the school.
d. they will follow the Matthew 18 principle in resolving problems or conflicts.
All families must be in active fellowship with a Bible-believing church. Both parents, as well as the prospective student, will go through the interview process before admission is granted. Representatives from the administration, board of directors and/or LCA faculty members may included in the interview(s).
Admission is based upon the recommendation of the members of the interview committee(s). In certain instances, an admission committee may grant admission on a probationary basis, subject to review at the end of a given probationary period.
Admission may be denied to any student with disciplinary, psychological, behavioral, or academic problems, which the school is not adequately equipped to handle. The acceptance or rejection of applicants will be done either by written notification or personal contact.
The registration fee will be refunded if a student is not granted initial admission by the school.
Lakeland Christian Academy will request academic and health records from the student's previous school.

NEW ULM - The Brown County Fairgrounds came alive Thursday night with the inspiring music of the Christian Band "MIKESCHAIR."
Grace Community Church sponsored the band's visit to New Ulm all the way from Tennessee to play a free concert. The band's line up consists of Mike Grayson (lead vocals and guitar), Nate Onstott (drums), Seth Penn (bass), Kyle Schonewill (lead guitar), and Dustin Wise (keyboard).
"MIKESCHAIR has been around for 10 years," said Grayson."We started as freshmen at Belmont University in Nashville Tennessee. We signed our record deal in the fall of our senior year, and started doing full-time music after that."

The Christian band MIKESCHAIR excites and inspires the crowd during its performance at the grandstand on Thursday evening during the Brown County Free Fair.
The origin of the band's unusual name is a reference to its early days at Belmont. Grayson lived on a different dorm floor from the rest of the band and often had no place to sit during band get-togethers. Eventually, Mike was given his own chair, and the name stuck.
"It's just a reminder of where we started from back in college with nothing much more than a chair," Grayson said.
The Rev. Philip Schenck said Grace Church considered several bands, but felt MIKESCHAIR had the best sound and members were inspired by Grayson's story.
During the concert Grayson told of his childhood and his family's struggle with alcoholism. As a young kid he feared people would learn that his family had problems, and he was reluctant to seek help. Later he learned the best way to beat the darkness was bringing it into the light.
For Grayson, the goal of his band is to write honest songs that connect with the heart of God and the heart of people.
"If we can do that, then we feel mission accomplished," he said.
MIKESCHAIR has released three studio albums. Their latest album is called "All or Nothing."

Use paper towels or towels and soak up as much as you can. After you do that you are supposed to use an enzymatic cleaner to get rid of any smell or stain.
I found this little tip site that had some info too:
I've used baking soda and vinegar in the past and it worked. I just vacuum up the baking soda.

The highly anticipated LSU-Alabama matchup is a no-brainer as the top game of the second half of the season. What other games should we be anxiously awaiting?
2. Oklahoma at Oklahoma State, Dec. 3: You want Bedlam? Bedlam is Oklahoma State making it all the way to the season finale without a loss, then robbing those fancy-pantses from Norman of their own losslessness. Or it's just a great game with the Sooners needing a win to lock down a spot in the national title game. Whatever the case, it'll be awesome.
3. Oregon at Stanford, Nov. 12: We're talking Rose Bowl implications for both teams at the very least, but Stanford should still be smack in the middle(ish) of the national title picture. And will it be too early for Cardinal quarterback Andrew Luck to all but clinch the Heisman Trophy?
4. Texas at Texas A&M, Nov. 24: Let's count all the ways this game could affect the BCS picture: OK, there are none. But so what? The hatred, the bile, the despicable nature of bitter rivals as they say, "Goodbye for now, jerks, and maybe forever" ... sniff. It's just so beautiful! If you're like The List, you partly want to see the Longhorns win on behalf of the Big 12, and partly want the Aggies to win so the crowd can cruelly chant, "S-E-C! S-E-C!" Either way, what great theater.
5. Alabama at Auburn, Nov. 26: If Alabama is still unbeaten, then this'll be for a spot in the national title game for the Tide--perhaps even if, by some cosmic spasm, the Tide wind up losing to the SEC East winner on Dec. 3. (Don't you just love a good double-"if" sentence?) And if Alabama already has a loss thanks to LSU, an Iron Bowl victory should easily lift the Tide to an at-large BCS berth.
6. Wisconsin at Michigan State, Oct. 22: Bottom line: For the Badgers, who are in great position to run the table, this is the toughest shot. (Is that a good metaphor? We've always figured the expression "run the table" emanated from the billiards world.) This could be a preview of the first-ever Big Ten championship game, especially if the Spartans win in East Lansing.
7. Clemson-Georgia Tech, Parts 1 and 2: There's no bad way this can go. If Clemson wins on Oct. 29 in Atlanta, it should be 8-0 and dreaming of a January trip to New Orleans. If Georgia Tech wins, well, there's a good chance it'll be 8-0 and ... ditto. Either way, there's an excellent chance we'll get a rematch in the ACC title game, which is why this regular-season meeting isn't ranked a little higher.
8. Notre Dame at Stanford, Nov. 26: In the regular-season finale for both teams, Stanford may be a win away from New Orleans. And how about the Irish? This looks like their only chance all season to match up with a true national championship-caliber opponent--and if they spring the upset, they may well be BCS-bound themselves.
9. TCU at Boise State, Nov. 12: We won't pretend a nation will hold its collective breath for this one, but the TCU game sure looks like the only way on God's green earth the Broncos might avoid going 12-0. We say "avoid" on behalf of all those BCS-league teams (plus maybe Houston) that will be pulling for a Boise loss somewhere, anywhere. For the record, The List remains crazy about the Broncos.
10. Tie: Georgia vs. Florida, Oct. 29, and Ohio State at Michigan, Nov. 26: One of these teams--Michigan--might actually have a whole lot to play for, but enough about that. These games are can't-miss because of their coaching-crime-scene allure. If Georgia's Mark Richt loses to the Gators (again), you just know the Bulldogs will end up buried in the SEC East standings (again) and Richt will be a goner (aga ... OK, not again). And Ohio State and its interim coach, Luke Fickell? Come on, you've seen how awful it's been already for those guys. Multiply it by 10 if they lose in Ann Arbor. Or maybe by 100.

Damnregistering (hehe...love it),
Not to sound like an advertisement, but I take Mark's Damage Control Master Formula each day. It's basically the kitchen sink of supplements. I too want to maximize bioavailability, so I take it slowly and with fish oil over the course of a meal. I take two packets plus four fish oils on the days I only eat once; otherwise I spread that out over two meals.
I'm also partial to a good protein powder. I take a zero-carb blend of organic whey isolate which Primal Nutrition doesn't offer (although they may soon). However, I don't want this to be a primary nutrient source so I always keep it to about 20% or less of my daily protein intake.
Perhaps one day I will be so primal that I'll be hunting my own prey in the mountains, eating the liver right out of the carcass, scrambling the brains and kidneys, doing double shots of vitreous humor and cracking the bones with my sledgehammer for stock. Then I wouldn't need supplements anymore. But that day is still pretty far off, so until then, I don't feel bad about supplementing my diet of dark green veg and muscle cuts.

(Or MOOR)
Priest, preacher, and professor, b. at Dublin, Ireland, 1640; d. at Paris, 22 Aug., 1726. Educated at Nantes and Paris, he taught philosophy and rhetoric at the Collège des Grassins. Returning to Ireland, he was ordained priest in 1684, and appointed Vicar-General of the Diocese of Dublin by Archbishop Russell. When the Revolution of 1688 drove James II from his British dominions, Ireland was held for him by Richard Talbot, Earl (afterwards Duke) of Tyrconnell. The provost of Trinity College, Dublin, Dr. Huntingdon, fled to England when James landed in Ireland. The college was seized by the Jacobites, the chapel was made a powder magazine, one portion of the building was turned into a barrack, and another into a gaol for persons suspected of disaffection to the royal cause. Moore was chaplain and confessor to Tyrconnell through whose influence and on the recommendation of the Irish Catholic bishops, he was appointed (1689) by James, provost of Trinity College — the only Catholic who ever held that position. He upheld the rights of the college, secured it from further pillage, and endeavoured to mitigate the treatment of the prisoners. With the librarian, Father McCarthy, he prevented the soldiery from burning the library, and by preserving its precious collections rendered an incalculable service to letters. A sermon which he preached in Christ Church cathedral offended the king so deeply that he was obliged to resign (1690), and retired to Paris. When James, after the battle of the Boyne (1690), fled to Paris, Moore removed to Rome, became Censor of Books, and won the favour of Innocent XII and Clement XI. When Cardinal Barbarigo established his college at Montefiascone, he appointed Moore rector, and professor of philosophy and Greek. The college attracted men of learning, and received from Innocent XII an annual grant of two thousand crowns. After the death of James II (1701), Moore returned to France, where through Cardinal de Noailles, he was appointed Rector of the University of Paris (10 Oct., 1701 to 9 Oct., 1702). He was also made principal of the Collège de Navarre, and professor of philosophy, Greek, and Hebrew in the Collège de France. In 1702 he was selected to deliver the annual panegyric on Louis XIV, founded by the City of Paris. Moore joined Dr. Farrelly (Fealy) in purchasing a house near the Irish College for poor Irish students. Blind for some years he had to employ an amanuensis, who took advantage of his master's affliction to steal and sell many hundred volumes of his choice library. What remained Moore bequeathed to the Irish College. He died in the Collège de Navarre, and was buried in the vault under the chapel of the Irish College. His published works include: "De Existentia Dei, et Humanae Mentis Immortalitate, secundum Cartesii et Aristotelis Doctrinam" (Paris. 1692); "Hortatio ad Studium Linguae Graecae et Hebraicae" (Montefiascone 1700); "Vera Sciendi Methodus" (Paris, 1716).
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.
