I agree with Rev. Davis. Why single out homosexuality and not deal with all of sexual immorality?
#5 Oct 1, 2010
It is becoming obvious that the more a religious or political leader vocally opposes gays, it is directly proportioned to how much gay sex they have already had.
Why people support these hypocrites is beyond me. I have no problem with a preacher who engages in any safe, sane, consentual, and adult sexual activities. The sheep that support him are easily misled and will find another shallow icon to support. Shame on his supporters.

As is paedophilia same sex relationship is a sickness that we should endeavour to eradicate.
#7 Oct 1, 2010
Men and women should be welcomed into the church, and the gospel presented to them in love.
Homosexuality is sin, and gays should not be given positions of leadership, pure and simple.
You will have many more Bishop Longs.
That is why.

It would be such a transitional story if we allow all those men and women in this world who previously lived a homosexual life, for however long they lived it, or tried gay sex, tell us why they left that lifestyle and accepted their own man or womanhood. Where is this story? Where are these people?
It is so pathetic for the media, social activists, and pastors to make the conclusion for us that once you go gay or try it that you are categorically classified as a homosexual. I disagree with that notion wholeheartedly. There are so many people that left that lifestyle and have made the decision never to return to it just like any other negative human condition (sin).
We are constantly making exceptions for gays, advocating for them, speaking up for them, and passing legislation for them but totally ignoring those folk that said they've been there, done it, tried it, but left it.
The last thing I want to say is there is this belief now that those people that harp against homosexuality the loudest secretly harbor gay tendencies. That is a total farce! Just because Bishop Long and some of the other world renown preachers got caught doesn't mean anything about someone's stance against homosexuality. For all Christians that believe the Bible, Bishop Long's message is biblically based. There is nothing wrong with his message. You may decide to dislike him but before these allegations came out you believed his message, so don't stop believing it now.
We need people that are gay to have a conversation with those people that were once gay. That's the only conversation we need to have.

Thank you MSTONE!!!

This story is not really a gay issue as much as it is an abuse of power issue.
#14 Oct 1, 2010
Okay - this statement defies logic. This is like stating that because you were incorrectly accused of doing X, everyone who is accused of doing X is innocent. We have no way of knowing if the stories are true or not - There are only 5 people who know, and my guess is 4 of them have something to gain financially - so unless there is some type of concrete evidence - I for one am not buying it (and for the record I am an agnostic/atheist depending on how ticked off I am on a given day at the world). We really do not know if the 4 of them came out independently or if they tell identical/similar stories or not. One thing I have found in the past is the more people that tell the same story - the more likely it is to be false/rehearsed/embellished.
#15 Oct 1, 2010
It's interesting to me that the article in the local dispatch quotes comments from only one Pastor and/or religious scholar in the city. These are sweeping generalizations of The Black Church which is not a monolithic institution. Would encourage in the future if running a local story more breadth and depth in the research to yield a more comprehsensive story. There are kernels of truth, but certainly a greater diversity of voices is needed.
#17 Oct 1, 2010
Sorry Stacie your wrong people do not go Gay or they are Gay and go straight.
This has been proven time and time again. Their are Gay people who pretend to be straight and look at the outcome of that.
People are advocating that people like you need to stop running your ugly mouths and mind your own business.
If God is against Gay people, then let God deal with it, when the time comes.
Since you are no God or even a Demi-God......Keep your pie-hole closed
#18 Oct 1, 2010
This is a good article.
In addition to open conversations about sexuality and how to respond to it, we (churches) need to also be cognizant of all the environmental forces that feed a situation like that of Long, if we are to believe his accusers. What Long is accused of is by no means unique to closeted homosexuals, by the way. Male ministers counseling women in their congregation have also been known to fall by the wayside.
When individual churches grow to the size of Long's congregation, clustered around the personal magnetism of an individual, they are already on shaky ground spiritually. Unless they maintain strong ties with a denomination willing to ask hard questions from time to time, and a governing board with a respectable distance from the pastor, temptation may indeed allow all kinds of misdeeds to creep in--whether sexual, financial, or simply laziness of study, prayer and dedication. We all need challenge.
But the other danger that needs to be confronted upfront and honestly is the balderdash that Stacy presents and that was apparently at the core of Long's teachings, which is that homosexuality is a disease and a curable one. Stacy, the reason that we are not hearing from hords of "cured" homosexuals, or people who "tried it" and gave it up, is that this is a whole lot of mythology. One does not "try" homosexuality and get hooked--any more that one "tries" heterosexuality and gets hooked. I cannot say that we yet fully understand sexuality, but all of the research and understanding that we do have indicates that sexuality is innate, ingrained, present at birth and unchangeable. And in fact, is more of a spectrum than an either/or proposition.
I am not aware of a single counseling program purporting to change sexuality that has not been rocked by scandal when a leader is caught figuratively with their pants down. Some programs operate under cult-like conditions (kidnapping, isolation, etc).
It is time to pray for Long, his congregation and his accusers. Pray for truth to be revealed.
#19 Oct 1, 2010
This will shake the black religious community to it's core. This will actually be a good thing in the end.
#20 Oct 1, 2010
I have been following Bishop Long's investigation from the day it started. I also am a long time viewer of Long who has seen the prosperity of his ministry and the lives he has touched along the way. We all know that there is no such thing as the perfect man, save Jesus Christ however; I believe will all of my heart that Bishop long is innocent of these allegations. Did he make some poor decisions with these young men, perhaps, but it doesn't make him a pedophile or a sexual pervert. He is a man who has worked hard to help millions of people to overcome all kind of addictions. The biggest question is are we as a society going to judge him in the media or by the content of his overall character?
#21 Oct 1, 2010
There is an African-American religion? Funny, I thought the church in question was of a Christian denomination?
#23 Oct 1, 2010
Eddie "Dong" is a low down dirty dog - and low down dirty dogs come in every shape, form, race, religion. I believe the accusations and he should be severly punished and made to step down from the church.
#24 Oct 1, 2010
*Why is one minority so oppressive and against recognizing rights of another minority?
*Why does a pastor need 10k worth of black diamonds stored in his office?
*Isn't it ususally the people who are most degrading and hateful towards homosexuality the ones who are indeed homosexuals?
*Why are people so eager to listen to a self-titled "bishop"?
I love these stories...
#25 Oct 1, 2010
It's called the down low don't you know?
How sad people simply cannot have their own beliefs like 25yomale and Reader preaching how Stacie is so wrong.
If this would be a white preacher there would be calls to shutter his church, this is the hypocritical nature of a certain segment of our society. Simply shut it down until the investigation is complete, that is unless your getting gratification from it all then you'll want to see it keep going,
#26 Oct 1, 2010
Well, as someone has pointed out, you are entitled to your opinion, but not to your own facts.
Those who want to declare homosexuality a pathology do not have the backing of those who have researched the mental health of the homosexual population.

Broad Coalition Petitions EPA to Regulate Ammonia Gas Pollution from Factory Farms
21 Groups: Industrial-Scale CAFO Emissions Meet Legal Standard for Listing as Clean Air Act Criteria Pollutant; Evident Public Health Threat Posed by Ammonia Emissions from Mega-farms
More than 20 national, state, and local organizations representing millions of Americans are filing an extensive petition today with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), laying out a case for an "endangerment finding" for ammonia gas and requesting that EPA list ammonia as a Clean Air Act criteria pollutant.
The criteria pollutant program requires EPA to establish air quality standards that protect public health and the environment, and has been responsible for dramatic reductions in hazardous small particles, smog-forming chemicals, and lead pollution nationwide, saving billions of dollars in health care costs. Factory farms are the nation's leading source of ammonia pollution, which causes respiratory health problems even at very low levels, yet air emissions from Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), including toxic ammonia, have escaped Clean Air Act regulation for decades.
The effort is led by the Environmental Integrity Project (EIP), and includes a diverse group of organizations that advocate for environmental protection, public health, animal welfare, and rural economies and communities. The petitioners include such groups as the Bloomberg School of Public Health's Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future, the Sierra Club, the Humane Society of the United States, the Waterkeeper Alliance, and rural community organizations in California, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, New Mexico, and Wisconsin. These organizations represent many rural Americans and family farmers who are directly affected by ammonia pollution from factory farms in their communities.
For the full text of the petition, go to http://www.environmentalintegrity.org/04_06_2011.php.
The new petition filed today at the EPA states: "Congress enacted the Clean Air Act (CAA) to protect public health from diverse sources of air pollution, and empowered the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish regulations for different pollutants as scientific knowledge evolves, and the dangers they pose to human health and welfare become apparent … [A]mbient ammonia pollution currently endangers human health and welfare, and EPA has an affirmative obligation to exercise its authority to regulate sources of ammonia emissions … Ammonia gas, an air pollutant emitted in vast quantities by Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), meets the criteria for listing as a CAA criteria pollutant, because ammonia emissions from numerous CAFOs and other sources 'cause or contribute to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.'"
Environmental Integrity Project Attorney Tarah Heinzen said: "The Clean Air Act exists to protect all Americans, but it has not lived up to its promise in rural communities. This petition demonstrates that ammonia from factory farms threatens public health, diminishes quality of life, and pollutes our water, and asks EPA to write rules that will hold factory farms to the same standards as other major polluters."
Lynn Henning, a family farmer in Michigan said: "In Lenawee and Hillsdale counties, MI, people exposed to air from CAFOs and liquid manure applications have reported worsening asthma symptoms, requiring inhalers. Other side effects of living near the CAFOs have included frequent, reoccurring episodes of bronchitis and cough. Other people exposed to dairy and hog CAFOs in both counties over 10 years have reported sore throats, feeling like they were suffocating, difficulty breathing, "burning sinus" "burning eyes" and "choking" from strong emissions of ammonia."
Scott Edwards, Director of Advocacy for the Waterkeeper Alliance, said: "Factory farming is one of the last holdout polluting industries where our regulators still fear to tread. These facilities create massive amounts of pollution that poison our air and watersheds. EPA cannot continue to turn a blind eye and ignore its mission to protect the environment and the welfare of communities."
Jonathan Lovvorn, Senior Vice President & Chief Counsel for Animal Protection Litigation at The Humane Society of the United States, said: "Confining hundreds of thousands of animals in tiny cages at a single location is not only unconscionably cruel to farm animals, but also destroys local communities, harms wildlife, and pollutes the natural environment."
The petition also points out: "Several federal agencies, including EPA, have documented ammonia's acute and chronic adverse health effects. Numerous peer-reviewed studies further demonstrate that ambient ammonia pollution in some rural communities near CAFOs currently exceeds recommended exposure levels, and citizens living near CAFOs experience adverse health effects from CAFO air pollution, including ammonia. Ammonia gas also reacts with other gases to form ammonium aerosols, inhalable small particles that further endanger public health."
On March 9, 2011, EIP released a major report showing that factory farms emit hazardous air pollutants on an industrial scale, yet have escaped regulation under the Clean Air Act and pollution reporting laws. EIP reviewed the findings of an industry-funded EPA study that monitored ammonia, particulates, hydrogen sulfide, and volatile organic compounds from CAFOs across the country. The report found that ammonia pollution levels at some facilities exceed worker health recommendations and emissions reporting thresholds, and recommended that EPA begin regulating ammonia and other CAFO emissions under the Clean Air Act. The EIP report is available online at http://www.environmentalintegrity.org/03_09_2011.php.
The full list of petitioners includes: Environmental Integrity Project, Association of Irritated Residents, Caballo Concerned Citizens Group, Center for Food Safety, Citizens for Pennsylvania's Future, Clean Wisconsin, Crawford Stewardship Project, Environmentally Concerned Citizens of South Central Michigan, Food & Water Watch, the Humane Society of the United States, Illinois Citizens for Clean Air and Water, Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future, Midwest Environmental Advocates, Northwest Environmental Defense Center, Rio Valle Concerned Citizens, Sierra Club, Socially Responsible Agricultural Project, Sustain Rural Wisconsin Network, Vernon County Alliance Concerned with Environmental Safety, and Waterkeeper Alliance.

The Environmental Integrity Project (www.environmentalintegrity.org) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization established in March of 2002 by former EPA enforcement attorneys to advocate for effective enforcement of environmental laws. EIP has three goals: 1) to provide objective analyses of how the failure to enforce or implement environmental laws increases pollution and affects public health; 2) to hold federal and state agencies, as well as individual corporations, accountable for failing to enforce or comply with environmental laws; and 3) to help local communities obtain the protection of environmental laws.

This weekend I had the privilege of heading to Winter Park, CO with Dave for his Ski Event that he did with Student Life. Student Life was so kind to let me come along. Read up on my thoughts on my blog here. It was great to be on the road serving with Dave. I'm so tired finishing out this week back in SC. Our guys who travel are amazing. They work so hard and get back into town and hit the ground running with all that is happening at Wayfarer. I don't know how they do it!
And by the way, Dave needs to stick to speaking!

How to Accomplish Your Goals Based on Your Personality Type
Accomplishing Your Goals
When I set a goal, my success rate for accomplishing it is:
A Different Approach to Goal Achievement
Do you have a difficult time accomplishing your goals? We often set goals for ourselves, in our minds, but we don't usually write them down. Writing down your goal is the first step to accomplishing your objective. However, we may need to try a different approach in order to actually accomplish our goal. Typically, we set goals based on our "wants" (to lose weight – vanity), or our "needs" (to lose weight – health), and sometimes both (lose weight – healthy & look good). Regardless of what goals we resolve to accomplish, we often find ourselves losing momentum within 30 days.
To set yourself up to successfully accomplish your goals can be done by basing your goals on your personality type, more specifically, on your natural preferences.
Our preferences explain how we (1) motivate or energize (Introvert versus Extravert ), (2) gather information (Sensing versus iNtuition ), (3) make decisions (Thinking versus Feeling ), and (4) organize our lives (Judging versus Perceiving ). Understanding our natural preferences helps us to realize, for example, that not clearing off our desk at the end of the day doesn't mean we are disorganized. It may just mean that we want to pick up where we left off on the following day (perceiving preference ). Or we may prefer to schedule our day in such a way that others think we are inflexible (judging preference ). Whatever our preferences may be, it is important to also know that we can perform in our non-preference dimension.
The Personality Type Method for accomplishing your resolutions:
1) Identify and verify your 4-letter personality by utilizing one of the following:
- Myers/Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®)
- Numerous books on personality type (i.e. Please Understand Me by David Keirsey and Marilyn Bates)
- On-line search engine (enter "personality type assessment")
2) Make a list of your goals by:
- Clearly picturing what each goal looks like when completed.
- Converting your resolution into a SMART goal (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-Dimensioned).
3) Analyze how your preferences support your goals. For example, if your goal is to lose weight and you are an:
- Extravert then enroll in a class or team sport where you will be motivated by others
- Introvert then hire a coach who will work with you one-on-one or ask someone you trust to help you.
4) Create a strategy based on your preference in each of the 4 personality type dimensions.
First Dimension: Extravert or Introvert – how to motivate ourselves
- Extravert: tell others about your goals and enlist their help to keep you on track.
- Introvert: make a contract with yourself or a coach (see number 3).
Second Dimension: Sensing or Intuitive – how to frame on our goal
- Sensing: expand your written SMART goal with a step-by-step, detailed description and process for accomplishing your goal
- Intuitive: look at the "big picture" of your goal; identify additional possible benefits of accomplishing your goal.
Third Dimension: Feeling or Thinking – how to decide the outcome
- Feeling: identify how accomplishing your goal will benefit you and others. Get others to help you during the process.
- Thinking: identify and incorporate the logic for accomplishing your goal. Analyze the cause and effect of your goal.
Fourth Dimension: Judging or Perceiving – how to make it happen
- Judging: create a roadmap or plan that will guide you to your goal.
- Perceiving: be flexible; when necessary, take different routes to reach your goal.
Challenge Goal
If you really want to challenge yourself, set your goals based on your non-preferences. This will force you to explore ways to develop in areas you may typically avoid. Follow the same process as above using your non-preference instead. Remember, we can perform in our non-preference dimension.
It's so difficult to change (bad) habbits of a lifetime! Good advice here.
As always, useful and interesting. We live to try and try to live
Interesting idea! I took the Meyers-Briggs test a long time ago, but don't remember the result now. I will have to try again and see where I fit into your plan. I am guessing I am third dimension. Thanks for the info, voted up and interesting!
Great Hub! I tested as an INFP personality. I think the Myers-Briggs personality analysis to be very enlightening and useful. Its a great way to understand yourself and others and can be helpful in career exploration. I noticed you are an INFJ, which is Gandhi's personality, maybe you can lead a social movement someday like he did. Good luck to Ya!
Very interesting, but I don't know if I am goal-oriented or just plain stubborn! LOL!

My parents wouldn't let me have a short bus as my first car when I was growing up. I wanted to be able to bring around groups of friends for adventures and have space for the endless gear I have gathered. Well fast forward a good amount of years and here I am. I bought this van back in December and have exponentially begun working on it. As this trip approached so did the effort and time that I poured into this van.
I am not a hippy (although I haven't had a haircut in 2017 yet), and I do not want to live in a van down by the river. Would I consider it? Probably with the cost of living here in Denver. Am I quitting my job and moving into my van for a while and exploring the road? Not just yet, but who knows. I don't have a large chunk of change, and I just recently paid off my student loans in less than a year from graduating college so cash is a bit tight right now. I also enjoy a warm shower.
This is my first step. It entailed a trip across Montana with a wonderful and easy going sidekick/pretty girl. A trip throughout national parks and various fun little side treks along the way. Plus, water. I always want to jump in the water. A lot was seen, a lot was learned, but mostly a lot more was wanted. It was a taste and a sample of what can come. The van isn't finished and no way are the adventures. There is a lot more to come.

'How I Met Your Mother' Preview: "The Fortress" Goes Darker Than You'd Expect
Ever since the news first broke that 'How I Met Your Mother' would return for a ninth and final season, fans have been anxious to see the long-teased wedding between Robin and Barney play out, in which the show's title supposedly lives up to its name. Before that day this spring however, Barney and Robin will have a number of decision to make about "The Fortress," so what about the latest clip from Monday's episode seems darker than the show usually operates?
Barney Stinson will have a major decision to make when Monday sees the first all-new 'How I Met Your Mother' episode of March, the aptly-titled "The Fortress." As the wedding day for Barney and Robin approaches, the two will have to come up with a compromise with regard to their living situation, given that Robin is none-too-eager to live in such an admitted bachelor pad, while Barney similarly hesitates to give it up.
CBS has released a new clip from Monday's episode that ventures in to some rather heavy territory, first teasing the adoption issue between the pair before showing a rather dark fate for girls Barney doesn't wish to stay in his apartment. Surely season 9 wouldn't turn Barney into a serial killer, right? Right?
Take a look at the latest clip from How I Met Your Mother's March 18 episode "The Fortress" below, and give us your predictions for the remainder of the season in the comments!

Good: Luck in education
The College Football season is coming to an end tonight, with Auburn's Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton and his team taking on Oregon. However, last week it wasn't Newton making the headlines, but the runner-up in the Heisman Trophy, Andrew Luck from Stanford University.
Luck, a player in his second college year, is obviously one of the most gifted and talented players around. Many think that he should leave Stanford now, two years before the usual four college years are over, move to the NFL and become a professional quarterback instantly. And yes, he would have had all opportunities there, as in this year's draft he would have probably be battling Cam Newton for the number one spot. So in one year from now he would have been a millionaire and on his way to becoming a superstar. Would have.
Andrew Luck decided no to. In contrast to his head coach Jim Harbaugh, who just left Stanford to coach the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL, Luck decided to stay at the university for two more years as he wants to finish his studies in architecture first before moving over to the football pros.
What an unusual position to trade short term business success for education. But Luck knows he will be a pro sooner or later and when he finally will be, going back to lectures is probably not an option.
But what about you? Is it an option for you? Probably not, either. We're all caught up by our work, by the operational day-to-day activities we have to accomplish, that thinking about education is something most of us won't do too often. And even though companies talk about the importance of life long learning in their glossy brochures, our priority is to get the job done.
That's a pity. And it brings me right back to Andrew Luck. He compares his architecture studies to playing quarterback and finds that both are about seeing spaces and using them the best way.
And that's the point: Luck says that he doesn't know how much his architecture studies help him in sports, but that he believes it's definitely a bonus for him.
We are so much focused on what we do that we have neither an idea on how to get that kind of bonus nor the opportunity to do so.
Here's some encouragement: I want us all to fight for it. Fight with our organizations and – probably more importantly – fight with ourselves to take the time to go for something off the standard track. To educate ourselves continuously. Be that in contact with academia, be that by reading more books, be that by speaking to people different from those at work, in brief: By getting ourselves opposed to different views and influences.
It takes guts, as Andrew Luck's example shows, but it'll make you more complete.
The motto of Luck's university is "Die Luft der Freiheit weht", German for "The wind of freedom blows". Let it blow for you. Fight for the freedom for education, for cooperation with universities, for participating in seminars, and most notably for the time to expose yourself to new views and ideas. In many companies there are lots of opportunities, but people don't use them because they stay on the easy, straight-forward way of just carrying on. Get informed and get into it. Always remember: There are people that would even chose education over an immediate NFL quarterback career.

If you didn't love analytics before, you will now
By Katherine Noyes
If there was still any doubt about the value of data analytics, this should lay it to rest in a single word: beer.
That's right, digital marketing agency Havas Helia has created 0101, a beer that was crafted based on data.
Hot stuff
10 hottest tech skills for 2016
Gunning for a banner year in IT? Make sure you have these skills in your toolbox.
Late last year, Havas Helia's goal was to create a beer that embodied the optimism associated with beginning a new year. It began by tapping social media for emotional keywords used in New Year's-related posts and then scored "thousands of messages" against a set of 24 predefined emotional states.
From there, the agency identified 38 distinct emotions with a clear tie to the new year. Among them were amazement, anticipation, generosity, indulgence, excitement, happiness, joy, love and good cheer.
Aiming to find a beer recipe that matched those emotions, Havas Helia used IBM's Watson Alchemy technology to analyze 2800 recipes based on ingredients, tasting notes and reviews. Watson Personality Insights then helped profile each recipe as "assertive," "friendly," "intelligent" or a host of other possible qualities.
From that analysis, the agency compiled a list of the top 10 beers that matched the New Year's emotions it had identified. By analyzing their recipes for common ingredients, the company came up with the recipe for 0101.
Among the final ingredients are honey and two varieties of hops: Nelson Sauvin and Hallertauer. "Honey for love and cheerfulness - Nelson Sauvin for optimism, imagination and resolution - and Hallertauer for excitement and emotion," the beer's website explains.
But don't get too excited, because 0101 -- "a fine tasting cream ale" brewed through a partnership with U.K.-based High Peak Brewing -- was only released in a limited edition of 500 bottles.

Hold on to your hats St. Augustine, the Greeks are coming when A Classic Theatre presents the classic Greek Comedy "Lysistrata". Written by Aristophanes over 2,000 years ago, it's as current as today's news. The play is a bawdy comedy celebrating the power of women and a condemnation of war. These women used the only means they had to stop their men from fighting, withholding sex!
Lysistrata is the heroine who convinces women from Athens and neighboring Sparta to join forces thus creating what can be called the very first women's movement! Life being what it is, the play shines a light on the comedy of politics, power, lust and greed. Sound familiar?

The recipe I'm sharing with you today is my favorite salmon recipe. In fact, it's the recipe I used the first time I cooked salmon years ago. I picked a good one! It's from allrecipes.com. However, I just took a look at the original recipe and realized that my recipe has really morphed over the years. I guess the basics are still there, but I have gradually adjusted some of the ingredients to suit our tastes.
I think the delicious blend of olive oil, basil and lemon makes the salmon very moist and flavorful! Oftentimes I make the marinade the night before and let the salmon marinate overnight. All I have to do the next day is pop it in the oven and make a couple of side dishes. Simple!
Update 05/01/14: I now like to make this recipe now with garlic-infused olive oil, instead of minced garlic, to make it low-FODMAP.
Baked Salmon
Low-FODMAP, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free
serves 4
1/3 cup garlic infused olive oil (see my Quick or Oven-Roasted recipes)
or extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp. dried)
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil (or 1 tsp. dried basil)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
4 4-oz. salmon fillets*
- In a glass measuring cup, measure out the garlic-infused olive oil. Add the lemon juice, parsley, basil, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillets. Place salmon in a large resealable plastic bag and pour in the oil mixture. Shake lightly to evenly distribute the marinade. Refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375° F. Place fillets on a large piece of aluminum foil. Fold foil to enclose salmon and seal. Place foil packet in a large baking dish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
*I like to use skinless fillets, but skin-on works fine too.

Certified experience: Downhill pro Trevyn Newpher eager to help aspiring cyclists
June 6, 2013
Steamboat Springs — You never forget how to ride a bike, right?
They don't just make up those cliches.
Trevyn Newpher certainly never has forgotten, but he said revisiting the most basic fundamentals of the skill we supposedly never lose has helped him greatly in his own quests to ride a bike. Now, he's excited to have the opportunity to help pass along those skills to others who already may have mastered the basics but are in for much more as gravity-fed mountain bike trails grow in Steamboat Springs.
Newpher has been a winter staple in Steamboat for about five years, establishing himself as one of the town's fastest Alpine skiers with frequent wins in Town Challenge ski races.
He's always left town in the summer, however, returning to West Virginia where he lived as a pro downhill mountain bike racer while working at Snowshoe Mountain Bike Park.
He decided to stay in Steamboat this summer, and local organizations were quick to reach out to try to tap into the depth of his cycling experience.
Recommended Stories For You
"It's huge to have him," said Blair Seymour, cycling director for the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club. "He's an amazing downhiller and a certified coach who can break down the skills. That's what people want."
Seasoned rider
Newpher has been into bikes since junior high, when he was growing up in Cleveland, Ohio. A passion for riding led him to West Virginia, where he attended Davis & Elkins College and studied outdoor recreation. During his time there he began racing, slowly moving up the ranks until he had a position in the pro division.
"Back then, racing on the downhill side was bigger because bike parks didn't really exist yet," he said. "The only way to ride downhill was to go to a race. That was the only time resorts were opening up their lift systems or the only time someone would put together shuttles."
That path eventually led him as far as downhill World Cup events and to Snowshoe Mountain and its growing and extensive bike park in 2005. This year, though, the mileage of the trip back to his summer home finally became too much and he opted to skip it, giving Steamboat Springs in the summer a try.
"I really liked the community," he said. "Snowshoe was lacking in that a little bit. Steamboat has the full package and the culture that embodied all aspects of the sport of cycling, from cross-country to BMX to downhill."
Getting used to the fact that many Steamboat riders are more prone to head out for a long day of endurance cross-country riding than downhill riding took some adjusting to, but Newpher is intent on helping any riders checking out downhill make that adjustment as smoothly as possible.
He hopes to affect that change in two ways this summer.
First, he just started a job with Steamboat Ski Area as a supervisor in the bike school.
Second, he's agreed to help the Winter Sports Club in its effort to get a gravity bike racing program off the ground.
Programming the summer
Steamboat had a strong gravity cycling program started by Corey Prager in 2009. Prager eventually moved out of town, however, and as the program struggled to find terrain to practice on, it fizzled.
Seymour hopes to change that by jump-starting the program and setting up a series of camps that Newpher will help with.
The club is offering a trio of three-day camps taught by Newpher this summer, June 27 to 29, July 18 to 20 and Aug. 1 to 3.
"Hopefully we can bring that program back up," he said. "I'd like to open the door to a larger demographic, people from a number of areas of cycling."
That's also what he's hoping to help accomplish at Steamboat Ski Area, where a downhill bike park just came online last year. That park still is expanding, and Newpher hopes to make it an easy transition for riders preparing to utilize it.
"It reminds me of skiing and snowboarding when it first started out," he said. "The only people that did it were the daredevils, the hardcore riders. Those guys are still around, but we want to teach people in a safe, progressive environment with the facilities, trails and equipment they need to make it accessible. We can make it a much safer experience."
The downhill camps, which will cost $90 per three-day session, are just one part of the Winter Sports Club's varied cycling offerings.
There are traditional mountain biking classes and a girls-specific class — "It's a Girl Thing" — with two three-week sessions. There's a BMX program that will run Thursdays throughout late June and most of July and August, as well as two-day mountain bike clinics.
"I want us to have a broad scope of programs," Seymour said. "We want the full spectrum of things, and that's why we want programs like BMX and a gravity program."
That extends beyond Newpher, but a rider in town with his credentials was too much to pass up.
"Anyone who teaches a sport, they do it because they have a love and a passion and want to share their experiences," Newpher said. "I've always enjoyed the sport, and it's made me a better rider to go back to my fundamentals so I can teach others. I love returning to that and seeing the progression and the confidence that people are able to build."

The EHCI Research Group has produced a demonstration video of 3D without glasses on an iPad 2 and iPhone 4 that will make your jaw drop to the floor! The possibility of glasses–free 3D hitting iOS devices has just become a reality.
Head-Coupled Perspective (HCP) on mobile devices allows to create a glasses-free monocular 3D display. It is based on a efficient head-tracker that uses the front-facing camera of the device. We use an off-axis projection in order to adapt the perspective of the 3D scene according to the head's position of the user. Such spatially-aware mobile display enables to improve the possibilities of interaction.
The videos are after the break, you have to see them to believe how good they are. When you have, let us know what you think in the comments!

This summer, Shake The Nations Ministries had the incredible privilege of preaching the Gospel in the war-torn nation of the Ukraine. In the midst of this nation that is experiencing the horrible reality of war, we saw a people hungry for the power and presence of God. There is a desperation in the hearts of the people that is drawing them to the very heart of God.
Our time in the Ukraine was spent with a group of our friends from Bethel Church in Canada. While speaking with Pastor Tim we were made aware of a church plant called Church of Praise in Krivoy Rog that is literally bursting at the seems with growth. Due to strict government regulation, it is difficult to obtain church buildings, so this church is meeting in a house that has been converted to hold church services.
The church has experienced such rapid growth, they now need to expand their walls to build a new hall that will hold 300 people. We felt in our hearts to join with this church and sow into this project. The new hall will allow the church to expand their evangelists efforts without being hindered by the limited space of their current facility. The budget for this project is $40,000 USD. Through Samaritan's Corner, STN was able to sow into this project and help them get immediately started on the new building.
There is still a huge financial need for Church of Praise to be able to complete the work. Please pray for this ministry and for the work they are doing for the Lord in the Ukraine. We are believing God with them for the needed finances to complete the church expansion. May Church of Praise be like a city on a hill that is used to reach and disciple many souls for the Kingdom of God in these last days!

Moon Taxi is one of those rare bands that unites musical ingenuity with thoughtful lyrics and still somehow manages to wildly entertain and thrill a crowd. Their new record, Cabaret, is a layered, multi-dimensional endeavor that displays the band's maturing sense of their own musical identity. A follow-up to their live album, Live Ride, Cabaret illustrates the challenges of defining yourself in a world that seems to be suffering from its own identity loss. Lead singer Trevor Terndrup says, "It's about juxtaposition—putting together seemingly opposite ideas and finding a strange harmony." Inspired by surrealist artwork and novelist Tom Robbins, Terndrup says, "I guess we are trying to say that things are not so black and white, or good or evil, but relative to your own perspective."
Evoking the musical revolution of the sixties and seventies, Moon Taxi ignites their eclectic sound with unique melodies and energetic shows. The band has already formed a loyal fan base across the Southeast, selling out clubs and creating a strong grassroots following. Keyboardist Wes Bailey says, "It's an incredible feeling to see people who we've never met before in a town we've never played before, dancing and singing our lyrics at the top of their lungs. That's what really gets us off."

Thermal imaging sensors for traffic monitoring
FLIR FC-T2 Sensors deliver superior accuracy and reliability for any traffic monitoring application. Using FLIR's advanced thermal imaging sensors, the FC-T2 can detect vehicles in a wider variety of conditions than traditional color-only sensors. By detecting the heat of all objects in the scene, the FC-T2 Series operates in broad daylight or total darkness, poor weather and even light fog.
Because they are not hindered by reflections from sun glare, shadows, or headlights on wet pavement, FLIR's thermal traffic solutions deliver more reliable information with fewer false counts. Whatever road you're watching, see everything more clearly with the FLIR FC-T2.

Keeneland sale: Changing Skies sells to Mandore International for $4.2 million
Mandore International Agency continued a big week of buying Wednesday, securing well-bred broodmare Changing Skies for $4.2 million at the Keeneland November breeding stock sale.
Changing Skies, a 7-year-old Sadler's Wells mare, is out of the Group 3-winning Silver Hawk mare Magnificient Style, an elite producer as a racing and commercial broodmare. Magnificient Style's progeny include multiple Group 1 winner and sire Nathaniel, record-priced Group 1 winner Playful Act, Group 1 winner Great Heavens, and Group 2 winners Percussionist and Echoes in Eternity. All 10 of Magnificient Style's foals to race have been winners, and six of them have won graded or group stakes.
Changing Skies is "by Sadler's Wells, who's a top broodmare sire, and she's a Grade 3 performer and Grade 1-placed," said Benoit Jeffroy of Mandore International. "She's a full- or half-sister to three Group 1 winners, and Nathaniel was one of the best horses in Europe. It's a beautiful pedigree, and she's very attractive."
Changing Skies retired with 5 wins in 19 starts for earnings of $438,949. Her biggest wins came in the Grade 3 The Very One Stakes in 2010 and the La Prevoyante Handicap in 2011. She also finished second in the Grade 1 Flower Bowl Invitational Stakes in 2010.
Consigned by Hill 'n' Dale Sales agency, agent, Changing Skies was sold carrying her first foal, by Street Cry.
"I thought she was the best-cataloged mare in the sale," said John Sikura of Hill 'n' Dale. "I thought coming into the sale, she would top the sale. [Her pedigree is] current, active, full of Group 1 horses, just replete with high-class horses. She's just the complete package of a global mare that's running at the highest of form.
"Very few mares, you find one dam on the page full of Grade 1 winners and you don't get even to the second dam," he continued. "She was that kind of unique mare."
Sikura said the mare's pedigree and build may have been different from what North American breeders might be used to, but the strong international market gave him confidence that Changing Skies would perform well in the ring. Having French-based Mandore International sign the ticket vindicated that confidence.
"The Sadler's Wells type is a bit of an acquired taste," he said. "Everyone I talked to that are premier European judges said that mare looks exactly like what you'd want to see by that sire. That gave me lots of ease."
While Changing Skies's $4.2 million price tag tied her for the second-highest price so far at the November sale, she is only the second most expensive foal out of Magnificient Style, who now has had four of her offspring sell for more than seven figures through the years. Changing Skies's full sister Playful Act sold to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum for $10.5 million at the 2007 Keeneland November sale, a record for a broodmare.

Rethinking Discipline
I have been a member of the Oregon State Bar for about 25 years and always look forward to reading the monthly bar Bulletin, even though I no longer actively practice in the state. The one portion of the Bulletin that has always disturbed me, however, is the disciplinary section. It has always struck me as offensive that those members who have broken bar rules, or made other mistakes, not only face punishment by the bar but also have to face the public humiliation and embarrassment of having their names and offenses reported in this widely read magazine. I am sure that this publicity is devastating to their careers, as well as personally very hurtful.
It seems to me that publishing the names and offenses of fellow bar members, no matter the severity of their offense, is both unduly harsh and reflects badly upon all of us. Is it really much different from the colonial practice of putting law breakers in public stocks or tarring and feathering offenders? In a civilized society, and particularly one dedicated to the rule of law, do we really need to use humiliation as a tool to punish and deter? I know that old customs die hard, but I think it is time that this publication and our bar association should start treating all of its members with more dignity and compassion.
When I saw the disciplinary section in this months Bulletin, I was reminded of the scene from the popular movie Master and Commander, where the young ensign has just committed suicide by jumping overboard and the captain questions his own role in the tragedy by noting his failure to provide fellowship. Likewise, when we publicly humiliate our fellow members have we not also committed a failure of fellowship?
Although I, along with most members, understand and appreciate the need for vigorous enforcement of the bars ethical and other rules, public humiliation should not be part of that punishment. We are better than this.

Ode to a Lawyer
Please accept my appreciation and convey my thanks to Steven T. Wax for his well wrought Parting Thoughts column in the latest Bulletin (July 2004). Although not intended to be one, the piece is like a poem for lawyers, to read about themselves.
The work lawyers do is often as important as the work Gandhi did, who was also a lawyer.
The same kind as Wax.

Gently Into the Night
I was put off by the Discipline report in the July 2004 Bulletin wherein the Oregon Supreme Court accepted the Form B resignation of Neil E. Goldschmidt when disciplinary investigations were pending involving his prior felonious conduct. See OSB Rules of Procedure Title 9 Resignation. Form B resignation is for the court a two-step process: 1) whether to accept or reject the resignation; and, 2) whether to allow the OSB discipline investigation to proceed or not. I assume justices who were former Goldschmidt appointees, such as Justice Michael Gillette to the Court of Appeals, recused themselves from participation.
The Supreme Court was not required to accept this resignation. A pending OSB disciplinary investigation automatically terminates upon the supreme court's acceptance of the Form B unless the court otherwise orders. I've found no indication that the court ordered the investigation to proceed. In short, Goldschmidt is permitted to move on, absent further OSB and public scrutiny, with a supreme court assist. Left unanswered are concerns of substantial public importance. What facets did his course of conduct involve? Grooming? Coercion? Intimidation! Use of public office and resources? Any gifts used to assure silence and submission?
Neil fooled many people along his journey towards personal fame and fortune, including President Jimmy Carter, the FBI, Gov. Kulongoski and OSB membership regarding his co-founded 'Campaign for Equal Justice' (a dark irony). Goldschmidt's Form B resignation is only a 'minor blip on his radar scope,' as he was already OSB inactive for an undisclosed number of years.
The case of In Re Deming 102 Wn.2d 82 (1987) is instructive. The district court judge committed no felonies but did openly sexually harass females within his courtroom and chambers. Even though he resigned his judicial position during the discipline process the Washington Supreme Court decided the case de novo and formally removed the judge 'because of [issues of] substantial public importance.' Deming found no refuge in resignation as has Goldschmidt.
The Oregon Supreme Court has set a questionable precedent. Goldschmidt was able to suppress his crime victim for decades while promoting himself and his legal/political career primarily in the eyes of a trusting public. Goldschmidt duped and outmaneuvered many people over the decades. And now the Oregon Supreme Court as well?

Good Public Policy
Constitutional law, not emotion, should apply to analysis of Measure 36, the Defense of Marriage initiative on the November 2004 ballot.
About 38 states have statutory and constitutional provisions defining marriage as a union of a man and a woman. Oregon and about 10 other states will vote on the issue in 2004.
Murphy v. Ramsey, 114 U.S. 15, 45 (1885) defines marriage as "the union for life of one man and one woman."
The Federal Defense of Marriage Act, 1 U.S.C. § 7, and 28 U.S. 1738C provides that no state, etc., is required to recognize an out-of-state, etc. same sex marriage. Section 3 of the Act defines marriage as "only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife." The U.S. government does not recognize same-sex marriage with respect to federal law.
Missouri voters this August approved 71-29 percent a defense of marriage constitutional amendment.
With three exceptions, numerous state appellate court decisions uphold marriage as a union between a man and a woman, and reject same-sex marriage claims. Goodrich v. Department of Public Health, 798 N.E.2d 941 (Mass. 2003); Baker v. Carr, 744 A2d 864 (Vt. 1999) (The Vermont Legislature apparently satisfied the court by approving civil unions); and Baehr v. Lewin, 852 P.2d 44 (Haw. 1993), reversed by Hawaii constitutional amendment.
ORS 106.010 defines marriage as follows:
Marriage is a civil contract entered into in person by males at least 17 years of age and females at least 17 years of age, who are otherwise capable and solemnized in accordance with ORS 106.150.
Same-sex advocates must overcome the presumption that ORS 106.010 is constitutional and has a rational basis.
Measure 36 is as constitutional as ORS 106.020, which prohibits bigamous and first-cousin and closer marriages.
There is a distinction between man-woman marriage and same-sex marriage. A man and a woman can procreate with each other to create a child; a same-sex couple cannot do so with each other.
Recognizing that distinction is constitutional and good public policy.

You must have heard of Lumineers, they have been featured in multiple media campaigns. Durathins are their younger and better looking sibling. Yes they are veneers too, but the biggest difference between these brands and the non-branded veneers is the fact that in most cases we do not grind the tooth.
What this means is you get to keep your untouched teeth, you can have a smile transformation you always wanted, and there is no need for needles-no numbing necessary to complete the appointment-PERIOD!!!
The esthetics have greatly improved with the emergence of Durathin brand on the market-in addition the brand offers the longest porcelain warranty-eight years-that why at Royal Dental Care we are certified to offer both these veneer options to our patients.
For more information and photos please visit http://durathin.com/about
Q: Can you place a veneer on a tooth that has a filling?
A: As a guideline the veneers should be placed on healthy teeth that do not have extensive restorations. If there are minor fillings present and the patient does not have extensive cavity history then a veneer can be placed on such tooth. It is best to obtain a thorough examination including comprehensive x-rays to determine the proper treatment. We want to protect your investment and will provide the best and longest lasting solution available today.
Q: Do you have to grind my teeth to place veneers
A: For more information please read the "no preparation necessary veneer" tab
Q: How long do veneers last?
A: Longevity of veneers depends on multiple factors-the most important is patient's hygiene. Proper care is a must when any restorations are present. Another important factor is patient's habits; in nowadays stressful world most patients present with tooth grinding or clenching teeth usually at night. The more problems patient faces, the more prone to fractures the veneer can be. Solution as simple as a silicone night guard may be recommended
Q: What's the difference between bonding and veneers?
A: The "bonding"-composite veneers are placed on the teeth and formed by hand by the dentist directly on the tooth, porcelain veneers are made outside of the mouth by a dental technician. While dentists can create excellent results they are limited by the material. Porcelain is much harder, has better esthetics, does not wear as easily over time and does not stain. Our office offers composite veneers only as a temporary solution for example in young teenage patients.
Q: How many veneers do I need? Do I need them on lower teeth?
A: This question is always answered during consultation with our team members. While there are no specific guidelines, we recommend that patient should cover the "smile line"-looking at the mirror smile wildly and count the number of teeth showing. That's how many veneers should be placed to see the smile transformation. To answer the latter question; one should speak while facing the mirror-if while talking the lower teeth are showing and you don't like their appearance then lower teeth veneers may also be recommended.
Q: Do you offer any warranty?
A: We work with leaders in dental technology and because of their commitment to excellence we can offer 5 year limited warranty on any porcelain fracture on conventional veneers and 8 year limited warranty on Durathin Veneers(patient must schedule recommended periodic maintenance and hygiene appointment to receive warranty). Please ask our dental professional for details
Q: Does dental insurance cover veneers?
A: Most cosmetic dental procedures including veneers are typically not covered by dental insurance.
Q: How can I afford veneers-they are very costly?
A: At Royal Dental Care we are proud to offer the highest quality care at affordable prices. In fact our fees for veneers are well below national average and we are very proud to announce that, however when considering veneers the treatment cost can easily reach thousands of dollars. To compensate for this we partnered with CareCredit and Springstone Patient Financing which provide affordable terms for patients. For details regarding financing please visit https://secure.springstoneplan.com .
Note from our doctors: If there are any questions you may have and still need a specific answer please contact our office at (847) 885-7645 to schedule a FREE consultation. Please mention "FAQ's in dental veneers" when talking to our receptionists. If all the lines are busy please try again-your questions are important. If you prefer to ask us by email then send your specific question to firstname.lastname@example.com we GUARANTEE 24 hour response.

Tendinopathy is the general medical term used to encompass different types of tendon injuries, such as tendinitis and tendinosis. Tendinitis is a condition in which tendons become inflamed, while tendinosis refers to the tearing of tendon tissue that can be due to repetitive stress or overuse, states WebMD.
Tendinopathy affects tendons in any part of the body. Tendon injuries can occur due to either aging or overuse when there is a gradual wear-and-tear of tendons. Some symptoms of this condition are pain, stiffness and inflammation in the affected tendons.
Tendinitis can affect the heel, wrist and shoulder areas, notes the National Institutes of Health's MedlinePlus. Treatment for tendinitis involves addressing the symptoms, such as pain and inflammation. For inflammation, cortisone injections may be useful, notes Inner Body. In cases where a tendon ruptures, surgery may be an option.

Darren Criss skipped interviews at the premiere of his new film Monday, following the loss of his "Glee" co-star Cory Monteith, who died on Saturday in Vancouver from a combination of heroin and alcohol. Criss arrived at Cinema Society's "Girl Most Likely" screening wearing a black ribbon and didn't talk to press at the Landmark Sunshine. Criss seemed more relaxed at the Brooks Brothers after-party at Hotel Americano. "Criss was smiling and laughing with guests," says a spy. "He gave girlfriend Mia Swier a cute peck on the lips." Swier was heard saying the pair met before "Glee" and have been together three years. "We're under the radar," she said. Kristen Wiig, who also stars in the flick about a woman moving in with her mother, told us she couldn't handle living at home. "It would be nice for the first couple days," Wiig said. "My mom would be cooking . . . But after two days there would be issues. There would be a lot of me going for long walks . . .and then my mom going for long walks."

Welcome to The Original SUNBEAM-TALBOT OWNERS' CLUB (First established 1936).
Covering Sunbeam-Talbot motor cars built between 1936 and 1957.
Whats it all about?
Sunbeam-Talbot owners' club has been re-established as a fundraising organization. We have two main purposes. Our first is to preserve the vehicles for future generations to enjoy. We intend to do this through club members subs (£1 per week payable yearly, half yearly or quarterly) and also through various other fundraising activities.
The money raised will help fund tooling costs, and in some cases re-manufacture,in other cases these tools will be loaned to third parties who will manufacture and sell the parts on S.T.O.Cs behalf.
S.T.O.C will get a percentage from the sale of these items, plus a fee for the loan of the tool which will then be ploughed back into the fund it will also retain ownership of the tool itself forever thus safe guarding the availability of a part previously seen as being financially unviable for commercial companies (E.G. Sunbeam-Talbot Spares) to produce.
Our second purpose is to promote the marquee. In order to secure additional funding we need to go beyond the traditional promotional areas.
The majority of owners of Sunbeam-Talbots are demographically in the over 50s. whilst it is most welcome for people of any age to be a Sunbeam-Talbot owner research has shown that people buy vehicles they have a link to:
"I remember them from when I was a kid" … or " My dad had one so I bought one"….
But what about drivers who don't have that link?
What would make a woman say in her mids 20's think "Do you know what I won't buy a mini I'll buy a Talbot ten" or a man who is in his early 30's think "I'll sell my beetle and buy a Sunbeam Alpine".
At the moment I am so sorry to say very little.
S.T.O.C. is committed to promoting Sunbeam-Talbots to these people may of whom don't even know Sunbeam-Talbot exist.

This 2012 editorial from Portuguese designer Valentim Quaresma and photographer Rui Soares Esteves is eye-catching to say the least. In person, the outfits Quaresma adorns his models with might just poke somebody in the eye though.
It is painfully apparent that if one isn't cutting through the noise in the fashion world, they probably aren't furthering their career. One needs to be sharp, on point and on the cutting edge to prosper.
The concepts featured here are anything but conventional. They may not be the best thing to wear in a crowded subway (for fear of lawsuits) but on the runway, they will pierce through the competition. Many designers would be grateful just to have a slice of Quaresma's talent. But they shouldn't go tearing themselves to shreds just yet; practice makes perfect and looking at this couture, it is apparent their maker has honed his craft to the point of mastery.
