"Hence, the lonely mind of the atheist cannot see, does not wish to see, all the factual evidence that does not support his or her religion of "non-belief", a religion that ultimately is rooted in the atheist's narcissitic elevation of his own moral and intellectual superiority over that of all believers"
You call those who disagree with you "lonely minds" and "narcissitic," and you don't consider that nasty? Typical christian behavior. Once again I say, you are only here to sell your book, and that is why you started a new topic with its title and your name. You simply are hoping people here will buy it so you can reap the benefits of the billion dollar industry of christianity, and you do this by capitalizing on someone else's proven success.
In addition, you have not addressed the issue of your own dishonesty—that is, you claim that you do not want to convert people to christianity. Again, I repeat: If you are a christian, you follow the bible which says it is your duty to do so. You are the dishonest one here. If you are not trying to do that, why come to this forum at all? Beyond wanting to christianize us, you want to sell your book. Isn't there a quote in the bible that says something like, "Before you try to get the splinter out of your neighbor's eye, first take the log out of your own."? How about "judge not lest ye be judged." You seem to be judging a lot of people here, but that is the christian way; you have all the rules down but you miss the worthy parts of your own book.
And by the way, I haven't seen anyone shying away from any debate you have suggested. Rather, it just hasn't turned out the way you had hoped. In fact, please see the numerous challenge by many other posters to participate in threads other than your own. Who is guarding their fragile shell of theory?
Intellectual honesty is a relative term.
You suggest applying the term "narcissistic" to some atheists is nasty.
I suggest that it accurately describes the thought process of someone in love with the isolated workings of their own mind, conducted in the absence, in fact in direct contravention to, overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

[quote author="msdiver"]I think we should ignore this nutcase completely. He clearly is delusional, and he is only using this forum to get people to buy his lame book. Christianity is a billion dollar business, and he is clearly looking to cash in on it by writing a book with a title that speaks to one that is a NY Times bestseller. On his own, he couldn't get a letter to the editor published, i'm sure.
I couldn't agree more. Not only is his response excessively nasty (and it is so, by the way, because like any animal backed into a corner, MPL is going to show his teeth), but he also quite explicitly lies about me.
He says, [quote author="MPL"]You apparently feel compelled to show me every possible verse in the Bible that refers to slavery, and throw it out as "evidence" that the Bible endorses the type of chattel slavery legally recognized in America until 1865, triumphantly claiming such "evidence" shows the moral failings of the Bible.
But of course I NEVER asserted that the Bible endorses the kind of slavery that was legal in America until 1865. In fact, I quite explictly argued that this was NOT the kind of slavery sanctioned by God. Yet I also argued that this fact is 100% IRRELEVANT since the very core notion of slavery is that a human being can be owned, as propery, by another human being. Exodus 21:20 very explicitly endorses such a notion.
Now, in order to defend his morally disgraceful God, MPL has to put words in my mouth and claim that I asserted that God endorses the American version of (race-based) slavery. BUT I NEVER SAID THAT. Michael does this, of course, because he cannot address the real issue, namely, that Exodus 21:20 very explicitly endorses the notion that human beings can be property. HE CANNOT DEFEAT SUCH AN ARGUMENT SO HE PUTS AN ARGUMENT IN MY MOUTH AND TRIES TO DEFEAT THAT ARGUMENT INSTEAD OF MY ACTUAL ARGUMENT. This is pathetic and dishonest.
MPL is the most intellectually dishonest person that I have ever debated on this forum. And he derserves to be ignored.
I consider christianity the home of the true narcissist. The main concern is what will happen upon death….life eternal for those who believe. The narcissist is worried about saving his hide first and foremost. How about the idea that some great powerful being is watching your every move. He cares if you gain any pleasure out of YOUR own body. Everything about christianity is narcissistic. As a friend of mine always tells me, "don't rely on good works," because of course he does none himself. The god of your religion tells you that it's more important to sit around on your knees telling it how great it is than to help the poor and needy? God=narcissism….it's the ultimate model of it. As far as you are concerned, have you noticed that no one else posts his/her names under the "new topic" category? You post not only the title of your book, which you stole from sam harris, but your full name. Now that's what I call narcissistic, and it's very sad, albeit transparent, indeed!
Mr. Leahy, it appears that only three members of this forum continue to take you seriously (MDBeach, Waltercat, and a warm welcome to msdiver). If they were to cease responding to your self-promoting drivel would you consider it a victory for you?
MDBeach has brought up a valid argument, namely that logic cannot be built upon a faulty premise. You are welcome to debate whether or not Sam Harris has lied about your faith, but before this charge can be levied you are required to establish that your god has any veracity whatsoever, since slander cannot be charged against a work of fiction. Sam Harris has challenged you, and all others of all faiths, to establish the veracity of your faith, and your best response is to pick apart Sam's interpretation of someone else's poll.
I have steadfastly refused to engage your tarbabies while you have likewise refused to honestly and sincerely answer the hard questions anyone on this forum has posed, but instead have dismissed them in the hope the question will be lost in your smoke screens. Prove your god exists, Mr. Leahy, and this proof will make atheism, and every other religion that exists today, irrelevant. Until then . . . you have nothing.
[quote author="Skipshot"]Mr. Leahy, it appears that only three members of this forum continue to take you seriously (MDBeach, Waltercat, and a warm welcome to msdiver).
I no longer take MPL seriously. I responded only because I thought it necessary to publicly confront MPL with his own dishonesty. It was quite evident in my (very old) response to his response to Exodus 21:20 (way back on page 18 or so) that I was talking about God's endorsement of the notion that humans can be the property of other humans (NOT the particularly American version of said institution). MPL chose to micharacterize my views and thus he has lost credibility in my eyes and I will not be responding to him any longer (absent a very public apology and mea culpa).
Just for the record, Michael, I note that you chose not to respond to the following:
[quote author="waltercat"]1. Is the notion that a person can be property a morally repugnant notion?
2. Does the God of the Bible endorse the notion that a person can be property?
3. Does the system of slavery, as practiced by the Hebrews, entail that a person can be the property of another?
4. Why would a good God not take the opportunity to be very clear about his attitude toward the notion that a person can be the property of another?
5. If God thought that persons cannot be property, would he have spoken a passage such as Exodus 21:20?
6. If a human government contained a provision within its constitution that says that slaves are property and that also expressly permits slaveholders to beat their slaves to death (provided that they don't die immediately) wouldn't that be an very strong indication that the government endorses slavery (and thus endorses the notion that a person can be the property of another)?
As I have said many times already, MPL is also lying about the types of slavery that existed, and were condoned by the ancient Hebrew community (i.e, by its "God" as put down in commandments).
Here's a few more slaveries than the indentured slavery MPL is talking about:
1. Female sex slaves
These had no time-limitation on their misery, and remained with their masters till he got bored with them.
2. Non-Jewish slaves
These are property, and remains so to the end of their days. Read more about them in Leviticus.
Leviticus specifically states that the Hebrew indentured servants are NOT to be treated as harshly as you are allowed to treat members of category 2.
3. Prisoners-of-war/Criminals
As with any other community in this time, persons in these categories could also be made into slaves. There is no reason to assume they were to be treated as the Hebrew slaves; more likely, at least for the criminals, they would be put in category 2.
MPL will continue to ignore these facts, and remain dishonest about the whole slavery issue.
Mr. Leahy, it appears that only three members of this forum continue to take you seriously (MDBeach, Waltercat, and a warm welcome to msdiver). If they were to cease responding to your self-promoting drivel would you consider it a victory for you?
I agree totally. There are 47 pages devoted to Mr. Leahy. Makes me wonder how confient in Mr. Harris some of you are.
Mr. Leahy is a theistic evolutionist. So am I. Some of the atheists here sound angry. Wouldn't that anger be better spent if it were diected toward the folks at ICR? Like it or not, you, me and and MPL are on same page when it comes to those fanatics.
Maybe the reason is that Mr. Leahy is NOT a "nutcase" as watercat so described him. Young Earth creationsits will lilkey defeat themselves, but Leahy just might make religion seem credible—or at least have a sound argument against some of Harris's claims.
He did gloss over the Exodus passage. But what about his charge that Sam misrepresented the facts about the number of adults who beleive the earth is 6,000 years old? It surprised me when reading Harris that the number of young earthers is really this high. Leahy's postion therefore seems plausible. Now, I just discovered this thread, since I was directed to it since I posted a topic on Leahy myself. I haven't read every page, just the first few. For all I know, someone may have shown that Harris's data is exactly correct, and Leahy is the one shifting evidence to prove his point.
But assuming Harris did misrepresent facts in order to emphasie that dire threat posed by religion, this should trouble you. Not because it shows atheism is false, but becasue ANY misrepresentation of facts will only provide fodder for Harris's opponents.
[quote author="Tad Trenton's Ghost"]Maybe the reason is that Mr. Leahy is NOT a "nutcase" as watercat so described him. Young Earth creationsits will lilkey defeat themselves, but Leahy just might make religion seem credible—or at least have a sound argument against some of Harris's claims.
Who is watercat? And where did he call Mr. Leahy a nutcase?
I know that I never called him a nutcase.
For MPL:
After skimming all the posts:
I doubt that Sam will agree to meet you in debate to support your transparent and shamelessly financial promotion of your book.
My book is a direct response to Sam Harris' numerous false assertions about my faith that he set forth in his book. I respond to his assertions, not his speculations.
As to my speculations on an afterlife—I offer these not as a book for consideration for the world, but instead as a direct response to a question posed to me by Mr. Kelly as part of the ongoing discussion here in this forum.
As an aside, I will in fact be posting my awaited response to the Exodus 21:21 passage on slavery at 1:00 AM EST this morning (about 10 hours from now) and I am very interested in your considered review and response to that post.
Wow. This entire thread is about your website, your book and you. I didn't know Christians are capable of cultivating such a big ego. You know that what you have to say is of little interest to most of the people on this forum and trying to use Sam Harris prestige and popularity of his work to lift yourself out of obscurity is quite dishonest.
The most hilarious argument you presented here was to me that about slavery. According to you, we have to excuse your god who was simply sensitive to the barbaric feelings of Egyptians and that's why he didn't spoke stronger against the slavery. Well, the same god wasn't so sensitive when he wiped out (almost) all inhabitants of this planet with a deluge. Nice. He would make an excellent politician by today's standards.
In God MPL trusts, all others pay cash!
I've just written another response to Letter to a Christian Nation.
In it, I document your intellectual dishonesty, starting with the following big lie you keep telling:
" Half of the American population believes that the universe is 6,000 years old."
The evidence suggests that, at a maximum, only 18% of Americans, not 50% as Harris recklessly claims, might arguably be said to believe the universe is only 6,000 years old. And even that 18% might not completely agree with the 6,000 year figure. ...
For the entire article which demonstrates how you completely misrepresent the Gallup Polling information, as well as the percentage of Americans who are "young creationists" , you can go to http://www.lettertoanatheist.com/biglie.html
For the entire book you may go to http://www.lettertoanatheist.com
I hereby challenge you to a debate. When and where ?
Hello Michael.
I read your post and a few replies below it. I agree with you that its bad for Sam Harris to cite false statistics. What is Sam's intention? To paint a worse picture of theists. What does he stand to gain from doing that? He gets to make atheism look better than theism. Its a bad tactic and its a bad goal. Why is it a bad goal?
What matters? What makes a person a good person? What makes society a good place to live? Morality.
Today, some atheists are way more immoral that most theists. So, the idea that atheism is better than theism is false, because plenty of atheists are morally worse than plenty of theists.
Why is it that some atheists are worse than most theists? Its because when people drop their religion, they sometimes drop their religion's morality too (some keep it—for example, Sam Harris believes that all lying is bad, a Christian idea). And what are they to replace it with? Some atheists replace it with nothing (like, "Whatever I want, is the moral choice for me"). This says that morality is relative. Its horrible and its responsible for much of the suffering in the world. So what about the rest of the atheists?
The rest of the atheists realize that morality is objective. And Christianity also holds this view. So why is Christianity so bad? Its not. But, if you compare it to Objectivism, its really really really bad. Today, Objectivism is the best moral philosophy. No religion or philosophy even comes close.
For an example of how Objectivism is better than Christianity (and all other religions and philosophies), see this post:

NMT's Chile Repellent Effective Against Termites, Aug. 18, 1999
SOCORRO, N.M., August 18, 1999 -- Dr. Daniel H. López, president of New Mexico Tech, today announced that termites are effectively repelled by materials created with the process discovered and patented by scientists at New Mexico Tech, which molecularly bonds the natural "heat" (capsaicin) of chile peppers into paints, stains, plastics, and other rubberized materials.
The bioassay termite studies were conducted under the direction of Dr. Roger Gold, professor of entomology at the Center for Urban and Structural Entomology at Texas A&M University.
Earlier research established that rodents and other terrestrial animals, zebra mussels and other freshwater and saltwater nuisance species, various insect species, and wood-boring birds are all repelled by materials created through New Mexico Tech's patented process.
Dr. López stated, "Termites are among the most destructive insects on Earth and are the principal cause for untold damage worldwide. We are very pleased that the scientists at Texas A&M have determined that this destructive species is repelled by the all-natural, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly repellents created by our discovery."
Grady J. Glenn, an entomologist and termite researcher at Texas A&M, said, "These preliminary tests were quite positive. With any choice, the insects fled the area containing the experimental material and stayed away. An ecologically sensitive repellent of this type could be very beneficial."
The bioassay study procedure introduced termites into environments containing wood treated with various combinations of control materials, experimental materials, soil, and water.
When provided with a choice of wood treated with experimental material or one of the alternate materials, the insects moved from the experimental material each time.
When given no choice but the materials into which the essential oils and capsaicin of Habañero chile peppers had been bonded, the result was total avoidance.
Pure corn oil and raw linseed oil were used as control and host experimental materials for the bioassay evaluations.
The Center for Urban and Structural Entomology is a Division of Entomology at Texas A&M University, and has gained international recognition for its research on termites, fire ants, and other destructive insects.
Preliminary studies to investigate whether fire ants are also repelled by materials created by the New Mexico Tech patent are currently underway.
The patented process discovered by New Mexico Tech is exclusively marketed by MEDD4, a company based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, which specializes in technology transfers, financing, implementation, and production of new products and innovations developed by New Mexico universities and laboratories.

Organizers' hopes were high for this year's inaugural Denver Comic Con, and the assembled nerds, geeks and comic book fans of the Mile High City didn't let them down.
The event posted a total of 27,700 attendees over three days — believed to be record for the second-biggest Comic Con opening ever. And now, buzzing from their success, the organizers have already announced dates for the 2013 installment — as well a major guest who's arguably the elder statesman of modern comics.

It took Big John Patton nearly two years to return to the studio as a leader following the sessions that produced the exceptional Got a Good Thing Goin'. When he finally cut its sequel, That Certain Feeling, the musical climate had changed just enough to make a difference in his music. Where Got a Good Thing Goin' was down and dirty, That Certain Feeling was smooth. That's not to say that it didn't groove -- it was just cleaner, which means that the groove wasn't as infectious or hot as before. Still, Patton and his band -- guitarist Jimmy Ponder, tenor saxophonist Junior Cook and drummer Clifford Jarvis -- play very well, and there are moments when everything comes together and it just cooks. And those are the moments that make That Certain Feeling worth a search. by Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AMG

Joe Arpaio Holds Press Conference to Let America Know He's Still a Wingnut
Good news, birthers — Joe Arpaio is sure President Obama's birth certificate is fradulent.
Sheriff Joe held a press conference this evening to continue spouting off about his conspiracy theory, complete with a team of "experts" to verify his claims.
Lead investigator Mike Zullo explained that numeric codes on parts of the birth certificate mean that those sections were not originally filled out. He knows this because he asked the 95-year-old former state worker who signed the birth certificate, and 95-year-olds are known for having all their facts straight.
This witch hunt couldn't possibly have anything to do with Arpaio's failures, right?
The Arizona Democratic Party says in a statement that Arpaio's investigation is intended to draw attention away from problems within his own agency, such as hundreds of sex-crimes cases that the sheriff's office failed to adequately investigate over a three-year period.
It's a more eloquent response than that offered by George Lopez, who called Arpaio a "puto."
President Obama, who was born in Hawaii, has not responded to Arpaio's most recent allegations.

Exercises for Stress Reduction and In Home Care for Seniors
We are always looking for ways to reduce stress in our lives. Stress can be very hard on our mental and physical health. Stressors good and bad are a normal part of everyday; but prolonged stress can really weigh us down and can make it difficult to enjoy life. There are many familiar ways to reduce stress including meditation, yoga, and communication.
Preparation is a simple exercise for stress reduction; if you are ahead of any potential stressors such as running late for an appointment because you can't figure out what to wear, you will feel on top of things if you are prepared. You can prepare for the day ahead but setting out your outfit the night before, organize your paperwork and make a to-do list of the day's chores. Sometimes, just mentally preparing for the next day or week can be a great stress reliever. Waking the next morning knowing that you are in control of the situation will set a positive tone for the day.
It may seem like performing a chore like vacuuming would increase stress, but the opposite actually holds true. Doing any repetitive activity such as vacuuming, knitting and wiping down countertops is a quick and efficient way to achieve a calmer state of mind. Studies show these routine activities can reduce blood pressure and slow breathing and heart rate. Focusing on a repetitive movement and keeping attention on the current task can stop your mind from wandering to negative thoughts and worries.
An effective exercise for stress reduction is actually physical activity. Strong evidence supports the fact that exercise is beneficial for any age. Even moderate physical activity can reduce the risk of major illnesses including heart disease, diabetes and even cancer. People who incorporate regular exercise into their lifestyle have a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, stroke, some cancers and experience an overall higher quality of life. Daily physical activity leads to more restful sleep, a boost in self-esteem, better mood and increased energy. Even if you can't hit the gym or trails, a brisk thirty minute walk during lunch or getting up several times a day to stretch and walk around will help relieve stress.
If you would like to learn more about caring and consistent in home for seniors and the many benefits of professional in home elderly care or dementia and Alzheimer's care, call Senior Helpers of Burnsville to speak to a senior care specialist today 952-892-8403!

I've said it before, but putting up a patch every day with a few missed days here or there, especially lately, takes a lot more work than I originally expected. Designing a new patch isn't so bad, nor is writing a blog post, but doing them both seems to take a great deal of effort. Maybe it's that jarring switch between right brain and left brain thinking, or maybe it's just the amount of time that those tasks take when combined, but while some of the posts come easily, some seem to kick and scream their way into the world. Thank you for joining me in this sometimes painful, sometimes joyful, process.
To celebrate this belated anniversary, I decided to do one final update of the Reason Patch A Day Archive Refill. As you may remember the first version of the refill was posted back in March of this year, only to be updated a few months later in June, as a way to thank everyone who supported it.
As I have already said in previous posts, my goal in putting together the Reason Patch A Day Archive Refill was not to provide an endless series of updates. So, this is the last time you'll see me posting about a upgraded version of it. Any other Archive Refills released here on Reason Patch A Day will likely be titled Volume 2 or 3.
The updated Reason Patch A Day Archive Refill, Vol 1 contains over 1,100 files, including:
- 100 Bass Patches
- 31 Instrument Combinators
- 60 Effect Combinators
- 18 Effect Patches
- 197 Pad Patches
- 155 Percussion Patches
- 142 Synth Patches
- 14 Sampler Patches
- 5 Yamaha Drum Machine Kits (with additional variations)
- Misc Samples and Loops
- And a couple of other surprises....
Thank you to everyone who has helped make the site a success by visiting it daily. And, thank you especially to those of you who provided financial donations and patches to support what I've been doing for the last two years. I'm not sure I can express how much I appreciate your donations.
As before, I urge you to go back and check out the Reader Contribution patches, which are not included in the Refill. Reason Patch A Day has hosted some excellent work from readers (and sometimes fellow bloggers) DJ Mad Wax, Ruurd Huizenga, Lewis.72, Rob Anselmi, Ghostly, Dan Reneer, Darryl Miller, Navi Retlav, and Meowsqueak, and I think you'll enjoy their contributions as much as I have. So, check them out!
Thanks again!

Welcome to my new feature Chuckles Weekend Roundup where I will be looking at what books I've received, anything interesting I've done or bought or watched and other random stuff. I'll be taking a look back at what happened in my blogging world too, sort of like The Sunday Post that some of you do!
Please note that I'll be visiting your STS/SP as normal, but I don't follow or leave comments on blogs run by Google Plus, or DISQUS as I refuse to join something just to leave comments, and I won't allow DISQUS to follow new people, update my profile or post tweets 'on my behalf'. I am the only one who does that on my social media! I won't comment on any blog that makes me sign in using another account. Sometimes, I have problems leaving messages on blogs hosted by Wordpress-they try to block me because I deleted my account with them but I will persevere as it only happens the odd time!

GDT: Oilers vs. Canucks – Oct 19, 2009 – Game 8
This is the first regular season meeting of the two teams this year, however the teams met twice in the pre-season. The Oilers lost the first one 3-1 while the Oil won the second one 5-4 in OT. The Oilers are coming off of a decisive 5-2 win over the Wild, while the Canucks also came off a win versus the Wild with a final score of 2-1. Tonight's game will be televised on Sportsnet and is a 7:00 start.
Sorry folks, things are a little slow with the line ups today. If anyone catches wind of them, please post them here and I'll update this post..
Projected Line-Ups
Edmonton Oilers Projected Line-Up (per Oilers Depth Chart)
JFJ Horcoff Hemsky
Penner Gagner O'Sullivan
Stone Comrie Nilsson
Moreau Cogliano Stortini
Grebeshkov – Gilbert
Smid – Visnovsky
Strudwick – Chorney
Vancouver Canucks Projected Line-Up (per HFBoards)
Burrows – H. Sedin – Samuelsson
Raymond – Kessler – Grabner
Bernier – Wellwood – Bolduc
Hordichuk – Johnson – Rypien
Mitchell – Edlier
Erhoff – Rome
Obrien – Bieksa
– Again, Steve Staios and Sheldon Souray will sit this one out. Souray's condition just is sounding worse every time we get an update. That's not good.. we have seen what concussions can do to a player.
– Ales Hemsky will miss tonight's game as well too, with the flu. UPDATE: Actually that may not be true….
From OilersNation:
After spending the weekend in bed with the flu, Ales Hemsky was on the ice this morning. Hemsky, who is normally the first guy off the ice after practice, stayed out late doing some drills, to see his body would respond. He will be a game time decision; if he plays Robert Nilsson will come out. Right now it seems 50/50 if he'll play.
Steve Staios did some light skating by himself, but he is still day-to-day, while Sheldon Souray is much farther away. You can't rush a player back, and considering the style of play these two play, I'd guess the training staff will be very cautious before giving them the green light to return.
6:32 – VAN – Bernier from Wellwood.
The Oil get caught in their own zone chasing the puck around as the Canucks cycle it around. The rebound from the shot from outside the slot ends up in the crease area as Bolduc and Bernier both fight to bang it in.
Other Highlights
– Rypien and Stortini go at it. I'll give this one to Rypien.. he's a tough s.o.b. He got off to an early start like their last fight and landed some good shots in. Credit to Storts for coming back midway through the fight, but it wasn't enough.
– Hemmer line gets "hemmed" in the zone early on. Good cycle by the Canucks. The Oil briefly get it out and change, but this inevitably leads to a goal as the Canucks get back in and keep it in the zone.
– The Oil seem to be getting continually stuck in their zone for the first half of the game so far.
– Samuellson tries to get Khabibulin looking the other way behind the net and quickly pops out front to try and jam it in, but good job to Khabibulin for getting the pad up against the post.
– Stortini drills Rome after a dump in.
– Visnovsky tried to go end-to-end at the end of the period. Manages to skate into 5 Canucks and still get a sloppy shot off, but it blows over the net.
0:26 – EDM – O'Sullivan from Grebeshkov
– On a delayed penalty for a trip on Gagner, Grebs carries the puck down low and fires it cross-crease to O'Sullivan who buries it.
Other Highlights
– Stone's injury might be a knee injury. Sportsnet shows Stone hitting Glass (or vice versa.. btw, Stone hitting Glass is a funny sentence) and Stone fell awkward, getting his leg caught under him a bit.
– Horcoff gets a breakaway but looks gassed.. I'm not even sure what happened when he got close to Luongo, but it wasn't pretty. Looked like maybe the puck skipped on him.
– Hemsky gets a breakaway after his penalty ends, but he fires it over the net. Just like Hemmer to make his good friend Horcoff look good as he flubs up his breakaway too.
– Visnovsky took a shot off the foot and that hurt him. Looked like a pretty weak shot, but it doesn't take much sometimes. Looks like he is fine though.
– Comrie is now known to me as the new Moreau. 2 penalties while we're on the powerplay and in the offensive zone? Ungh.
– Chorney throws a nice hit in the corner of the Oilers' defensive zone, dropping a Canuck.
10:33 – EDM – Gagner from Jacques, O'Sullivan
On the dump in, Gagner chases behind the net and the puck comes out front to O'Sullivan. O'Sullivan flicks it on net trying to get it to JFJ, but JFJ can't get it.. it bounces out front and Luongo is flopping around like a fish. Gagner puts it upstairs.
Other Highlights
– I've always been impressed with Dustin Penner's hands (damn that came out wrong), even when he was the goat around here. He made a very nice deke on one of the Canucks' defencemen, cradling the puck and then going around them. Got a shot on goal, but not too dangerous of a shot. Good shift overall, and he gets applause from the crowd.
– WOW did Smid ever steal a goal. Wide open net after a big rebound from Khabibulin, and he luckily was there to play goal. The puck comes back out and this time Khabi was ready for the save. But wow, Smid was in the right place at the right time with a very nice kick save.
– Khabibulin does a nice job stopping a point blank tip from Henrik, who was standing in the crease.
– Mitchell gets away with a stiff arm to O'Sullivan's face.
– Penner again doing it all as he bowls his way and dangles into the Canucks zone. He loses the puck, but Visnovsky picks it up and wires it, but it doesn't make it through.
– Cogliano makes a nice shot block at the blueline and then carries it into the Canucks zone.. no real chance generated though, unfortunately, but he's got a few more tools than just the offensive ones.
– For a guy wiith the flu, Hemsky looks pretty good in the 3rd period. Working a bit of his magic.
– Looks like Horpensky might be back together, and JFJ is taking Penner's place with Gagner and O'Sullivan.
– Chorney is actually impressing me… he's battled since he's been called up, and he just saved a goal as he fought for a puck to the side of the net and got body positioning on a Canuck's forward to prevent a scoring chance. Good thing because Khabi looked a bit lost on that one.
– Hemsky dumped while going in alone on an empty netter.. could've been credited a goal there.
– OH WOW, Kyle Wellwood would like to have an extra second… He dangles through the Oilers' defence and beats Khabibulin, but it was about 1 second too late as the game ended.
EDM PP1 (Burrows 2 mins, Elbowing) – NO GOAL
Unit 1 – Hemsky Horcoff Comrie with Grebs/O'Sullivan
Unit 2 – Penner Gagner Nilsson with Gilbert/Visnovsky
Pretty ineffective until line 2 comes out and Penner tries to drive it through Luongo.
VAN PP1 (Comrie 2 mins, Holding) – NO GOAL
Unit 1 – Penner Horcoff with Strudwick/Chorney – Clear it out after the draw. Van brings it back inside and the Oil do a good job of preventing them for getting in. They cough it up to Strudwick and he dumps it out.
Unit 2 – Cogliano and Moreau with Grebs/Gilbert. Do a good job of preventing any chances. Forwards change up to Unit 1 again. The Canucks pass it around too much and end up passing it through the point man. Good penalty kill overall.
VAN PP2 (Hemsky 2 mins, Tripping) – NO GOAL
Unit 1 – Penner/Horcoff with Grebeshkov/Gilbert
Unit 2 – Moreau/Cogliano with Chorney/Strudwick
– Both units kill the first minute easily. Canucks didn't even break the zone, and even got caugh icing it.
Unit 3 – Jacques/O'Sullivan with Gilbert/Strudwick. Finally the Canucks gain the zone. Really can't do anything with it at all.
Hemsky gets it coming out of the box for the breakaway.. no goal.
EDM PP2 (Grabner 2 mins, Interference) – NO GOAL
Unit 1 – Hemsky/Horcoff/Comrie with Gilbert/Visnovsky
This penalty lasts all of 14 seconds, as Comrie takes a penalty for slashing. Nice one, dipshit.
VAN PP3 (Comrie 2 mins for a dumb o-zone slash) – NO GOAL
This lasts barely any time because the penalty came while the Oilers were a few seconds into the PP, so not worth mentioning.
VAN PP4 (Khabibulin, 2 mins for Tripping) – NO GOAL
Unit 1 – good job clearing the puck out of the zone. Canucks don't get any chance to set up.
Unit 2 – get caught in their zone a bit, but the canucks have a tough time getting any shots on goal. Wellwood gets one good shot off, but Khabibulin robs him. And then eats up the rebound as Grabner flips it on net.
Unit 1- the Oil do a good job keeping the Canucks out of good scoring areas.
Great kill overall.
EDM PP3 (Kesler 2 mins, Interference) – NO GOAL
Unit 1 – Moving the puck around like the globetrotters. Great work getting the Canucks running around. The powerplay won't last long though as Comrie takes yet another penalty while on the powerplay. Oh man.
VAN PP5 (Comrie, 2 mins for Tripping, while Kesler is in box) – NO GOAL
– I missed the notes for this one, but the Oil obviously successfully killed this one off.
Nail biter. That's all I have to say. The game was a fairly slow one at points. The Oil also got caught running around at points, but overall it wasn't too badly played. The Canucks were pretty good in the first and third periods, whereas the Oilers played pretty strong in the second.
Penner had yet another fantastic game, as did Patrick O'Sullivan. I have to say, I absolutely love the Penner, Gagner and O'Sullivan line. Khabibulin gets the first star.. he wasn't fantastic, but he was good. He struggled at points with his rebound control, but he was good enough for the win and made some key saves. Luckily so did Smid at one point, saving a goal. As did Chorney, possibly, as he gained body positioning on a Canucks forward near the end of the 3rd to prevent a scoring chance on a fairly open cage.
The Oilers' PK was very good tonight. The Canucks couldn't really get set up anywhere or get any good shots on net. The Oilers' powerplay was characteristically average (maybe bad) except for one chance where the Oil had some great cross ice passes going and had the Canucks struggling to get the puck, until Comrie took his second moronic offensive zone penalty while on the powerplay.
So that puts the Oil at 5-2-1. This is a very good start for the team. Great job by both goaltenders. Not the best game by the Oilers, but they did well enough to deserve a win.
And now the bad news, Ryan Stone left the game with a knee injury and will undergo an MRI tomorrow, according to Pat Quinn.

I gotta say.. Khabibulin is playing a lot better than I thought lately, especially last night. He was shaky the first couple games, but last night he was great and I wasn't afraid whenever a point shot went through. Looks like he's back in form!

The Diary of a Shirtwaist Striker
Introduction by Françoise Basch
"It is splendid, finally, to have this novel back in print . . . . Nothing before or since has so successfully captured the political and emotional spirit of the women's strike of 1909."—Alice Kessler-Harris, Rutgers University
"Malkiel was a politically sophisticated and well-seasoned socialist organizer and propagandist, and she used the medium [of the diary1to draw out certain lessons about the relationship of class and gender from the events of the strike. Françoise Basch's fine introduction provides the necessary context and makes Malkiel's novel/political tract readily accessible to today's readers."—Mary Jo Buhle, Brown University

MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Pfeiffer University Athletics will add three more individuals and one team into the Sports Hall of Fame on Friday to help kickoff Homecoming Weekend 2012. Tony Davis, David Gianferante, John Jez and the 1975 men's soccer team will all be enshrined during the banquet on Friday night.
Davis played on the men's basketball team from 1983 to 1987 being named the Carolinas Conference Most Valuable Player in 1986-1987. Additional postseason hardware also includes All-Carolinas Conference and NAIA All-District awards in the '84-'85 and 86'-87' seasons. Davis scored 1,362 career points leading the Falcons to the NAIA National Tournament's Sweet 16 during the 1984-1985 season.
Gianferante was a two-sport athlete playing men's soccer and golf. Gianferante registered 42 career goals including a four-goal performance during a 1969 homecoming match against N.C. Wesleyan. Gianferante's golf career led him to being named the 2012 MIAA Girls Golf Coach of the Year and has been named a three-time Coach of the Year by the Boston Globe. Gianferante was also named the National Federation of High School Coach of the Year in 2006.
Jez enters the Sports Hall of Fame after a successful career for the men's lacrosse program from 1991-1994. Jez currently ranks in the top-five of five different school records, all in offensive categories. Jez racked up all-conference awards in 1994, one year after being named an All-American Honorable Mention. Leading the men's lacrosse team at C.W. Post since 2007, Jez has brought home national championships in back-to-back 2009 and 2010 seasons while making it back to the final four in 2011. He was also the 2009 USILA Division II Coach of the Year.
The 1975 men's soccer team still holds the top mark for 13 wins, most goals in a season (90) and most goals in a game with 15 against Atlantic Christian (now Barton) and ranks third all-time in winning percentage. Season highlights include a 3-1 win over N.C. State, 1-0 victory over Duke and successful matches against Elon, Campbell, Guilford, High Point and UNC-Greensboro.

Sawmill Fire 3 Miles from Mountaintop Research Facilities
JULY 2, 2012, UPDATE -- The Sawmill Fire is smoldering, but is nearly all contained and does not pose an immediate threat to New Mexico Tech's research facilities atop South Baldy, which is about three miles from the fire.

Dr. Bill Winn, Director of Langmuir Laborator, said he and his staff are grateful for the efforts of the U.S. Forest Service firefighters and managers.
"My colleagues and I at Langmuir Laboratory for Atmospheric Research greatly appreciate the effective campaign by the U.S. Forest Service to contain and put out the fire, which threatened the Laboratory. We were impressed by the variety techniques used by the USFS to contain the fire in remote and difficult terrain," he said.
Forest Road 238 is still closed to the public, but open to Forest Service personnel and those affiliated with Langmuir Lab and the Magdalena Ridge Observatory.
MAGDALENA, N.M. July 28, 2012 – The U.S. Forest Service is battling the Sawmill Fire, which is about three miles from the Magdalena Ridge observatory and the Langmuir Laboratory for Atmospheric Research, both of which are atop South Baldy.

The fire was detected July 23 and is 81 percent contained. The fire is burning in extremely steep and rugged terrain. One Hot Shot crew, six engines, three helicopters, a water tanker and a camp crew are battling the blaze and protecting Tech's installations. As of Thursday, the structures were not in imminent danger.
Minimal fire activity was observed Wednesday, with the majority of activity toward the center of the area.
The structure protection activities will help in case of future fires in the area. As of Wednesday, the Gila-Las Cruces zone turned over fire management to the local district unless conditions determine otherwise. The remaining helicopters will be available for recon flights, possible water drops if needed, or for initial attack if any new starts occur.

Local optometrist Dr. John Breiwa considers eyes to be windows. "You can actively see the body functioning," he said.
Sometimes he sees patients with eye diseases that result from diabetes at Drs. Breiwa, Jeskie and Tucker Eyecare. Some patients don't think about how the disease -- where the body does not produce or properly use insulin, a hormone needed to change sugar, starches and other foods to energy -- can affect their vision.
"They think, 'My sugar is high.' The worse-case scenario is that you can go blind," he said. "Diabetes is the third-most common cause of blindness in the nation. Kentucky is one of the top states for diabetes."
There are two types of diabetes. In Type 1 diabetes, the body doesn't produce insulin. In Type 2 diabetes, the body makes insulin but is unable to respond to it, said Megan Givan, a diabetes coordinator at the Warren County Health Department and registered and licensed dietitian. Symptoms include frequent urination, excessive thirst, unexplained tiredness, slow-healing wounds and extreme eating without gaining weight -- which happens more frequently with Type 1, but doesn't happen in Type 2.
"People with Type 1 diabetes use insulin shots or pumps. Some are diagnosed at birth or in their teens or early 20s," she said. "People with Type 2 diabetes can control it with diet and exercise, and then that may lead in to prescriptions. Sometimes they need a combination of pills and insulin."
The risk factors for diabetes include age, ethnicity, family history and weight, Givan said. Older people are more at risk. Pacific Islanders, Native Americans and African-Americans are some of the ethnic groups with the highest risk. Weight plays a part, particularly in Type 2 diabetes. Also at high risk are women with gestational diabetes, which happens during pregnancy, or who give birth to babies weighing more than 9 pounds.
Diabetic eye diseases Breiwa sees include cataracts, which is the clouding of the eye's lens; glaucoma, an increase in fluid pressure inside the eye that leads to optic nerve damage; and diabetic retinopathy, damage to the blood vessels in the retina that, if left to advance, can turn into proliferative retinopathy, where new blood cells grow on the retina and can bleed into the eye.
"The walls bulge out and eventually pop. We see them as large blood vessels in the eye," he said. "There can be blood floating around in the eye. It's hard to see through that." Laser treatment can be done on the retina to stop the growth of the blood vessel. There is also an injection in the eye that can reduce fluid retention. "The blood is reabsorbed back in the body," he said.
If things are bad, Breiwa sends patients to a different type of doctor. "When we're seeing a lot of little hemorrhages, a retina care specialist gets a hold of them," he said.
Breiwa recommends that diabetics have a dilated eye exam a minimum of once a year and, in some cases, every six months.
"There can be changes in vision," he said. "They tend to become nearsighted, but I have seen people go the other way." Regular exams can help detect the diabetic eye diseases earlier and prevent more eye damage.
"We generally don't find (more severe) problems unless they've been diabetic for a while," he said.
Other complications that can be caused by diabetes include heart disease, stroke, heart attack, kidney disease and nerve damage. The health department has recently been hosting free diabetes self-management classes that discuss complications that can be caused by diabetes, sick day management and treatments, nutrition, medication and exercise.
"We talk about when to call the doctor and what foods you can eat if you can eat," she said of the sick day plan. "We talk about counting carbohydrates." Exercise helps with weight control and blood sugar control.
"The body will be more insulin sensitive if you exercise every 24 hours or so," Givan said. Breiwa urges diabetic patients to take of their overall health as well as their eyes, which includes getting a proper diet and doing things in moderation. "People shouldn't blow that off," he said.

a box of treats...
I have to get into it. I just have to. Maybe if I tackle it from the other side... Maybe it won't see me coming...
And so an otherwise ordinary Friday morning has been transformed into something rather more, well, interesting for both feline and non-feline members of my household.
The good people of Abel and Cole have delivered to my door a rather lovely mixed organic fruit and veg box for me to try, together with a plump fella of a free-range chicken. Needless to say, I'm happy to oblige... ;-)
Initial impressions are good. The fruit - bananas, apples, and blood oranges (a particular treat) are positively bountiful. The veg - mushrooms, swede, potatoes, red cabbage, parsnips, carrots, and onions - are also looking good, if a tad on the earthy side. A no-holds-barred roast dinner at the weekend seems like a shoo-in. I'll keep you posted.
I just have to get the cat out of the box first.

You might have a point there, Val. I think he also wants to play footie with the swede...

Here's a Swede that wants to play with the cute kitty! Of course I had to get that out of the way. Now moving on to the box, it does look lovely, like the text on the outside too (I'm a sucker for Innocent-ie texts like that).
In Sweden we have something similar called "Årstiderna" - The Seasons, were you can subscribe to seasonal veggies and fruit to be delivered to your door. I've been meaning to do that for ages, maybe 2009 finally is the year for that?

That's so funny. My cat would've just jumped in, because he's convinced that boxes contain invisibility shields and that no one can see him when he's in one.
Nice-looking produce.

That certainly is a roast dinner in the making! I look forward to hearing how the chicken tastes as I also have one of their chickens winging their way to me.

WEST GLACIER, MONT. – Missing hiker Luis Lim spent one unexpected night in the backcountry after failing to return from a day hike on the Autumn Creek Trail near Marias Pass in the southern section of Glacier National Park. Park rangers successfully located the man near the trail at approximately 10:30 a.m. (MST) this morning and found him safe with no serious injuries.
On Tuesday, June 10 at approximately 11 a.m., Luis Lim, a 48-year old male from Chicago, and Stephen Vickery, a 66-year old male from Toronto, departed on the Autumn Creek Trail from East Glacier towards Marias Pass. According to park rangers, their intended destination was the Lubec Trailhead. The two men had just met that morning in East Glacier and decided to hike together. This was Lim's first time hiking, while Vickery describes himself as an experienced hiker.
Glacier National Park Dispatch received a phone call from Lim at approximately 5:40 p.m. stating himself and Vickery were lost on the trail and concerned they would not make it out before dark. Glacier County Sheriff's Office pinged Lim's cell phone several times in order to pinpoint their location. Glacier County deputies responded to the area and located Vickery on U.S. Highway 2 at approximately 2 a.m.
Vickery told park rangers that Lim was still in the backcountry and was physically unable to continue with him due to exhaustion. The hikers carried water and food for the day, but were not prepared to stay overnight. On Wednesday, June 11, approximately 6 a.m. five crews of Glacier National Park employees began a search for Lim on foot and horseback. The hiker was located approximately 3.75 miles from the Marias Pass Trailhead, off the Autumn Creek Trail around 10:30 a.m.
Lim was not injured, but he was cold, tired, wet, and hungry when found. He arrived safely at the Marias Pass Trailhead with rescuers at approximately 2 p.m. today. Flathead County Search and Rescue and Two Bear Air were en route to the search when the hiker was located.
Visitors are strongly encouraged to plan for and enjoy all that Glacier National Park has to offer. This includes learning about the area you plan to visit, especially when traveling in the backcountry, and having the items you may need if the situation changes. Hikers should carry up-to-date maps, compass, first aid kit, flashlight, rain gear, matches, fire starter, whistle, extra food, and extra clothing. Without planning and awareness of an individual's surroundings, accidents can happen.
If a hiker becomes lost, stay on a designated trail and do not move from your location. Try to contact emergency services if possible and follow all directions from park rangers for your own safety. Park rangers recommend all visitors utilize the Glacier National Park Day Trip Plan, available at any backcountry permit office in the park or online at https://www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/upload/Day-Trip-Plan.pdf. This valuable tool provides details of your intended route to search and rescue personnel, narrowing search locations and potentially saving lives.

Count Jon Golnik, a candidate for Congress in Massachusetts, among those Americans who think government can do no right. At a recent Tea Party event in Lowell, Mass., he received an enthusiastic round of applause when he proclaimed: "I don't know anything government's ever gotten involved in and made it cheaper and made it better."
His comment was in reference to the recently passed health care bill, and his object was to bash U.S. Rep. Niki Tsongas, D-Mass., for her support of the bill — hopefully helping to unseat her in the fall elections.

Wow, protesters spitting returned to the news for the first time since the Vietnam War.
Except this time, a health care bill protester outside the Capitol on Saturday really did spit, on a Congressman.
Back in the late '60s and early '70s, spitting didn't happen. Try to find one documented account of a Vietnam vet being on the receiving end. Or one single picture. Google "spitting on Vietnam Vets."

Putting Away Childish Things (Paperback)
A Novel of Modern Faith
HarperOne, 9780061888168, 368pp.
Publication Date: May 3, 2011
Other Editions of This Title:
Hardcover (4/20/2010)
"We all know that Marcus Borg is a gifted teacher, biblical scholar, and writer of nonfiction, but it turns out that he's a master storyteller, too."
— Brian D. McLaren, author of A New Kind of Christianity
Bestselling author, Bible scholar, and theologian Marcus Borg (Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, The Heart of Christianity, The Last Week) uses his core teachings on faith and the Bible to demonstrate their transformative power and potential in Putting Away Childish Things: the moving, inspirational story of a college professor, her students, and a crisis of faith.
About the Author
Marcus J. Borg (1942–2015) was a pioneering author and teacher whom the New York Times described as "a leading figure in his generation of Jesus scholars." He was the Hundere Distinguished Professor of Religion and Culture at Oregon State University and canon theologian at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Portland, and he appeared on NBC's The Today Show and Dateline, ABC's World News, and NPR's Fresh Air. His books have sold over a million copies, including the bestselling Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, Reading the Bible Again for the First Time, Jesus, The Heart of Christianity, Evolution of the Word, Speaking Christian, and Convictions.
Praise For Putting Away Childish Things: A Novel of Modern Faith…
— Spirituality & Practice
"Borg offers up a didactic novel that explores some of the thorniest theological issues facing the Christian community. ... he is to be commended for taking up a new form of literature to share his theological perspective—a perspective that many have found to be generous, open and hopeful."
— Christian Century
"Professor Borg spins a fine yarn and teaches much in the process, yielding a whole cloth of integrated and inquiring Christianity. Let's hope there is a second tapestry to come!"
— The Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop and Primate of The Episcopal Church
"Putting Away Childish Things is a page-turning tale grappling with issues of faith confronting today's church. An inspiring and compelling story that will be treasured and revisited, Borg's illuminating insights and all-too-human characters make theology accessible to all."
— Julia Spencer-Fleming, award-winning author of One Was A Soldier
"The form is different with Marcus Borg's insightful new novel, but the reader's experience and payoff are the same as with his many excellent non-fiction books: this is a great read that leads to a deeper, more hopeful understanding of the meaning and possibilities of Christian faith today."
— Tom Krattenmaker, USA Today Board of Contributors, author of Onward Christian Athletes
"Borg takes advantage of [main character] Kate's syllabus to teach readers what she teaches her students… The reader audits Prof. Riley's class and, thereby, drinks from Marcus Borg's font of knowledge about the Enlightenment, theology and religion…. [Borg] writes plainly, warmly, and with truth."
— Beatitudes Review
"In the end, it's the kind of novel where you underline teaching points that have been made especially well and dog-ear the pages in which the author has included poetry that speaks to urgent human questions."
— Beliefnet
"Can a world renowned biblical scholar really write an entertaining work of fiction? The answer is absolutely YES! I was hooked by the end of the first chapter."
— Progression of Faith
"The story provokes ample opportunity for dialog on a personal and a group level. A wonderful novel.... You look forward to returning to digest more of this splendidly crafted tale.... Powerful, memorable and one that you can confidently recommend to others….as I now recommend it to you."
— Bill Dahl
"I see this novel as an ingenious way to open up dialogue between Christians of differing points of view, and as a window into Borg's understanding of what it means to be truly Christian in a world that has become rather inhospitable to Christianity and its claims."
— Presbymergent-Musings
"Borg writes fiction with passion. While the book raises many questions about faith, religion, and relationships, it also functions by itself as [a] truly moving story. I highly recommend this book for skeptics and people of faith alike."
— Treehouse Monastic
"I thoroughly enjoyed the book and wholeheartedly recommend it…. Many a book group will enjoy discussing Putting Away Childish Things, and many a questioning Christian's faith will be sustained by the story."
— A Wee Blether

NJSIAA Wrestling Tournament Remains in Atlantic City Despite Lady Gaga Concert
The New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association announced today that the individual state wrestling championships would remain at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City for the next three years.
The announcement comes amid speculation about the fate of the popular event because a Lady Gaga concert is scheduled for Boardwalk Hall on March 2, 2013 which would be the middle day of the three-day wrestling event.
PREVIOUS: Lady Gaga Upstages High School Wrestling Tournament
The NJSIAA announced that the upcoming wrestling tournament would move to the second weekend of March in 2013 which will result in a near 2-week gap between the end of the region championships and the start of the state tournament.
Atlantic City has hosted the state wrestling event since 1992 with the exception of two-years when Boardwalk Hall was undergoing renovations. Nearly 40,000 fans attend the annual event.
