I wish to report that my clients and I had a very successful Polar Bear season, with 6 out of 7 clients taking nice trophies. The one client that was unsuccessful saw quite a few bears but never the big boar that he was looking for. He reports having a very nice trip, wonderful treatment, and will return for another go soon.
For those interested, I have posted a story and some Photo Highlights from the season.

This is, by far, the toughest hunt on earth and not for the weak
at heart! Hunting the arctic ice pack by dog team and sled you can
experience temperatures to –40F with nothing between you and the
elements but a canvas tent and the clothes on your back.
Musk ox, remnants of the Ice Age also inhabit only the Polar
Regions of the far north. They can be taken individually or in
combination with Polar Bear.

Hunt Area
Polar Bear hunting is generally done in very late winter or early
spring, February 15th through April 30th, when the arctic days
We are agents for two native village hunting corporations,
Tuktoyaktuk, NWT and Sachs Harbour, on Banks Island, NWT (See map).
In both cases hunters must fly to Inuvik, NWT via Edmonton,
Alberta. Major travel agents are Canadian North or First Air. These
services are available online or through your travel agent.
From Inuvik, there are two scheduled flights per week to Sachs
Harbour, (Monday and Thursday via Aklak Air Ltd.)
For clients hunting Tuktoyaktuk, clients must charter a bush
flight from Inuvik. In some cases the guides will transport the
clients from Invuvil to Tuktoyaktuk by snowmobile.
From the hunt area clients are transported to the actual hunting
site by snowmobile, however the actual hunt must be done in the
traditional manner with an Inuvialuit Native guide and dog team.
Please contact Rick for current prices and availabilities on all hunts

Camps are tents with stoves. Polar Bear camps are located on the
sea ice and can be located one or two days out by snowmobile. Musk
Ox camps are located on the mainland and are considerably more
Polar Bear hunting is very rigorous. Only dedicated hunters in
excellent physical condition should undertake this hunt. Hunters and
guides camp on the ice pack and cover miles every day via dog sled.
Hunters will ride, glass, and spend up to 12 hours a day searching
for bears. Weather conditions are unpredictable and often severe.
Musk Ox hunting is quite a bit easier. Although the conditions
can also be severe, the actual hunting can be completed in two to
five days. Additionally, Musk Ox can be hunted with use of either
snowmobile or dog sled.
Your clothing and gear are extremely important on this hunt, more
so than any other expedition. Your equipment will "make or break"
this trip. The wrong clothing can jeopardize both your trip and your
Northern Outfitters (1-800-944-9276, firstname.lastname@example.com)
is highly experienced in outfitting Arctic hunters with proper
clothing and gear.
The following list is recommended and mandatory:
We represent two native corporations in NWT, each village prices
their hunts a bit differently. Each village is issued a limited
number of permits for Polar Bear & Musk Ox. We will book our
clients according to the openings and permits that are available.
is also a 7% Goods and Services Tax due on each license and fee.
Upon arrival in Inuvik, before leaving for the hunt, hunters must
report in to the government Renewable Wildlife Economic Development
Office (RWED). Upon a successful hunt clients return to this office
and pay the Renewable Resource officer the license, trophy fees and
7% GST. At this time an export permit will be issued.

text: In most universities services like electricity, water, and A/C are paid for by the school. To do so they take "overhead" out of every grant. Partially as a consequence of this they typically have a very poor ability to meter usage on a room by room basis. Now somewhere between the 10 node Pentium II beowulf sitting on a lab bench and the 1000 node dual P4 Xeon beowulf in a machine room that takes up half the basement the cost of the electricity (both for power and A/C) goes from a minor expense to a major one. Really major. For instance, in that hypothetical large machine, at 10 cents per kilowatt hour (a round number), assuming 100 watts per CPU (another round number) that's: 1000 (nodes) * 2 (cpus/node) * .1 (kilowatts/cpu) * .1 (dollars/kilowatt-hour) * 365 (days /year) * 24 (hours/day) = ----------------------- 175200 dollars/year The A/C expense is going to vary tremendously depending upon the outside temperature. It's going to be much higher for us in Southern California than for a site in Anchorage. "Typical" lab usage is widely variable but I'd be amazed if most biology or chemistry labs burn through even 1/10th this much for the equivalent lab area. Some physics lab running a tokamak might come close. Anyway, the question is, have any of the universities said "enough is enough" and started charging these electricity costs directly? If so, what did they use for a cutover level, where usage was "above and beyond" overhead? >From an economic perspective having electricity and A/C come out of overhead (without limit) grossly distorts the true cost of the project over time and can lead to choices which increase the total overall cost. For instance, the use of Xeons instead of Opterons has little effect on TCO if somebody else is picking up the electricity tab, but could change the power consumption significantly on a large project.

Two new anti-piracy warnings will soon be added to select DVD and Blu-ray movies, the U.S. government announced late Tuesday.
The additional warnings come courtesy of a coalition of copyright infringement fighters that includes the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center (IPR Center), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) wing, the FBI, and six member studios of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).
The first screen (above) is a joint anti-piracy warning from the FBI and HSI, which says that, "The unauthorized reproduction or distribution of this copyrighted work is illegal. Criminal copyright infringement is investigated by federal law enforcement agencies and is punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a fine of $250,000."
Because that's probably not enough to scare your movie-loving pants off, a second warning (above), this one baring the IPR Center's logo, includes the following "educational message": "Piracy is not a victimless crime. For more information on how digital theft harms the economy, please visit www.iprcenter.gov."
"Our nation's film and TV business is critical to our economy," said ICE Director John Morton in a statement. "Its creativity and imagination have made American entertainment one of our greatest exports over the decades, but criminals are increasingly engaging in new forms of digital theft. Law enforcement must continue to expand how it combats criminal activity; public awareness and education are a critical part of that effort."
As some of you may recall, the HSI is the government organization behind Operation in Our Sites, which aims to seize websites accused of copyright infringement, either through the distribution of intellectual property like music, movies, and TV shows, or through the sale of counterfeit goods, like knock-off sports jerseys or fake Gucci bags. HSI has so far seized more than 760 domains. The organization boasts that this has led to the arrest or charing of 11 — yes, 11 — individuals for criminal copyright infringement, and the seizure of more than $1 million.
These seizures have not all been above-board, however: Recently released court documents show that ICE held popular hip hop website Dajaz1.com for more than a year without a single scrap of evidence that it had been used to distribute copyrighted songs.
The copyright industry asserts that piracy has cost the U.S. economy 360,000 jobs, $16 billion in lost wages, and $2.6 billion in lost taxes. More recent studies, however, show that revenue in the music, movie, video game, and book publishing industries has risen over the past few years.
Regardless of which numbers you believe, it's clear that the anti-piracy camp believes there is some progress to be made by posting new warnings on DVDs — though, if you ask us, this is precisely the wrong tactic. After all, the majority of people who are going to see these warnings have either purchased the DVD legally, or rented it legally, and are therefore clearly not the ones who need to be taught a lesson in copyright law. In fact, it is exactly these kind of condescending, pestering messages that drive people to pirate movies in the first place.

U.S. stock-index futures sold off after a bill aimed at staving off tax hikes associated with the looming fiscal cliff failed to garner enough support for a vote in the House of Representatives.
As of 7:10 a.m. ET, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures dropped 169 points, or 1.3%, while S&P 500 futures slid 19.3 points, or 1.3%. Early trading in futures markets tends to be volatile because of low volume, especially ahead of a holiday, and isn't always representative of broader market sentiment.
Continue Reading Below
Global markets were broadly lower: The Chinese Hang Seng fell 0.68%, while the Japanese Nikkei 225 dropped 1%. The Euro Stoxx 50, which tracks eurozone blue chips, slipped 0.56%.
House Speaker John Boehner said in a statement that "the House did not take up the tax measure today because it did not have sufficient support from our members to pass." The failure to pass what was seen as a backup plan in the Republican-controlled House came as the latest setback in negotiations aimed at averting the fiscal cliff's painful punch of tax hikes and spending cuts set to hit early next year.
The House will now adjourn until after the Christmas holiday, leaving just days before the end of the year. Boehner called on President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to work out a deal before the House is called back into session.
'Very Damaging'
"This is very damaging. We were already very fragile as it was going into the final few trading days of the year," Todd Schoenberger, managing partner at LandColt Capital said. He said the optimism seen this week on Wall Street is "quickly evaporating."
Schoenberger also noted he expects to see a selloff into the open on Friday that could easily extend into the following week. As of the close of trading on Thursday, the Dow was aiming to close the week with a 1.3% advance, while the S&P 500 had a week-to-date gain of 2.1%.
The House did pass a separate bill that delays spending cuts earlier in the evening, but the White House almost immediately issued a strongly-worded statement saying Obama would veto the bill should it cross his desk. The bill was expected to fail in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Lawmakers were quick to respond to the setback on Capitol Hill.
"We will see what the stock market does," House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-CA) told Fox News' Chad Pergram. "To have this happen, it is very sad for the country."
Echoing that view, Rep. Steven LaTourette (R-OH) told Pergram "it's bad for the country -- I think the markets and other countries are going to react about it."

LAMI Camilla needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 52 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
After working in marketing across cinema, retail, gaming (the gambling kind!) and pubs/venues...I am starting LAMI Local Area Marketing Initiatives to be able to help local businesses (of all types, budgets and marketing know-how) maximise their marketing spend to build awareness of their business.
Small to medium size retail/entertainment businesses who have a localised target market.
To start with I will be targetting local pubs, to show them that LAMI can help them with them marketing strategy.
In future I will also target businesses across broader retail, cinema and entertainment.
Develop a colour logo which can be used across all future print and website executions (examples of future uses could include business cards, flyers, website, car decal).
The logo needs to include the wording "LAMI" as well as the full name "Local Area Marketing Initiatives". I imagine that the "Local Area Marketing Initiatives" wording will stand out. LAMI means nothing on its own right now.
Whilst this is a business-to-business target market, LAMI offers marketing consultancy advice in the fun and slightly laid back entertainment/retail industry, so the logo doesn't need to be overly formal (it still needs to be professional).
Please don't use stock images or clip art.
Files types required are JPEG, layered RGB (needed to use for website) and EPS (needed to use for brochure production).

As of March 2014, the airport had 246 daily direct flights to destinations in 64 cities within the United States, and 10 daily direct flights to eight international destinations. Southwest Airlines accounts for almost 90 percent of the airline market share at Midway. The original site was dedicated as Chicago Municipal Airport in 1927 by Chicago Mayor William Hale Thompson. By 1929, Municipal Airport was recognized as the busiest in the world, a title it held for at least 15 years. In December 1949, the airport was renamed Midway International Airport to commemorate the World War II Battle of Midway in the Pacific Ocean. Today, the airport is considered the 21st busiest in the United States, with more than 20 million annual passengers.

Senators Support Improving Debit Card Fraud Rights
At Monday's Senate Banking Committee hearing on what to do about the Target and other recent data breaches, Senators led by subcommitee chairman Mark Warner (VA) endorsed our longtime U.S. PIRG platform that all plastic -- debit or credit -- should have the same consumer protections. Right now, debit card users have "zero liability" promises from their banks, but credit card users have strong protections by law. As Bloomberg quoted Senator Warner:
"I would support legislation that would equalize consumer protection for all forms of plastic," Warner said in an interview. "The notion that you have one set of protections for credit cards and a different one for debit -- I didn't know that three weeks ago and that ought be addressed."
The 1968 Truth In Lending Act protects credit card users in a variety of ways. Its fraud loss limit is $50 maximum by law. It also provides for strong billing dispute error rights and gives consumers the ability to order their credit card company to investigate whenever purchased goods and services either don't arrive or don't work as promised (See more on the Fair Credit Billing Act).
Conversely, the 1977 Electronic Funds Transfer Act, which regulates debit cards (as well as direct deposits and other electronic transfers), has a 3-tiered shared liability system and neither of the other protections. As we explained a few weeks ago in our Target breach tips:
Credit Cards: Under federal law, your responsibility for unauthorized credit card charges is limited to $50, and in some cases would be $0.
Debit Cards: Your responsibility for debit card fraud charges is a bit more:
- $50 if you notify the bank within 2 days.
- Up to $500 afterwards.
- Unlimited if you fail to report the fraud charges within 60 days after you receive your bank statement.
- However, if the physical debit card itself is not lost or stolen, you are not liable for any fraud charges if you report them within 60 days of your bank statement.
As I testified to the committee, I believe that the historical basis for the shared liability may be that when the EFTA was passed, ATM cards could only be used in ATM machines with a PIN number, meaning that Congress wanted consumers to protect their PIN number so it gave them some liability. Later, local PIN-debit networks such as the Star network were rolled out by a number of vendors. Remember when you could use your debit card at the grocery store, but only with a PIN?
But over the years, the big banks (which at one time wholly-owned the Mastercard and Visa networks and still own a large share of the now-publicly traded firms), sought to earn greater swipe fee, or interchange, revenue from merchants from their own massive, nationwide credit card payment platform, which relies on signatures, not PINs. So, they rolled out signature debit around 1997. When the little machine asks "credit or debit?" it is really asking: "signature credit platform or (safer) PIN debit platform?"
At that time, only after U.S. PIRG and Consumers Union raised a hue and cry (NY Times page 1, "Handy? Surely, But Debit Card Has Risks, Too" July 1997) about exposing bank accounts to an inherently unsafe platform did the networks add their "zero liability" promise. But it is still a promise, not the law. As the authoritative National Consumer Law Center points out, there are a variety of "conditions" and exceptions involved in the zero liability policies. And, of course, there is another problem. When a consumer is a victim of debit card fraud, she has money missing from her bank account while she waits for the bank to reimburse her (if it does). As I told the committee, by increasing bank liability we won't solve that problem, but we will "focus the minds" of the banks on protecting our information better, so fraud will happen less often.
The hearing also focused on a number of other important issues:
-- We argued against any federal breach law standard that preempts stronger state breach protections, or, particularly, that also includes a Trojan Horse provision preempting any additional state data security rules.
-- We urged Congress to investigate the activities of the bank/card network body that sets the so-called PCI security standards. We urged Congress to ensure that, going forward, performance standards are developed that encourage innovation and new methods of protecting information.
-- Along with the merchants, we pointed out that the PCI body is rolling out a weak "Chip and signature" card to replace the obsolete 50-year old magnetic stripe cards that the current system relies on. We pointed out that Europe and Canada already use a higher standard, known as Chip and PIN," so why are U.S. merchants and consumers going to be conned by a weaker standard?
You can watch the hearing on C-Span or read the testimony here. The committee has another hearing Thursday, when the financial regulators will come in to explain their responses to the data security debacle. At yesterday's hearing, the Secret Service and the FTC testified, along with me, the banks, the PCI body and the merchants.
Oh, and while we believe the banks and their obsolete cards are a large part of the problem, we don't let Target off with any sort of free pass. Target should be held accountable. And, as I told Target's hometown paper, the Star-Tribune (MN):
"Target's drips-and-dregs method of slow-walking consumer notification of the extent of its breach has not served it well in the court of public opinion," said Ed Mierzwinski of the Federation of State Public Interest Research Groups. "Did it comply with existing state breach notification laws? We'll wait to see what state attorneys general say. Further, Target should be offering more to its customers to restore their good faith than a paltry credit monitoring service."

This Positive Life: Dee Dee Chamblee Bounces Back From 3 T Cells to Being a Trans Activist
August 26, 2013
Dee Dee Chamblee was diagnosed at a time when people were dying all around her, and she damn near expected to get HIV. Living in the South in 1987, she describes what was happening around her as a kind of holocaust. However, even after the drug use, sex work and jail time, Dee Dee has risen like a phoenix and founded LaGender, a transadvocacy group in Atlanta.
After coming back from living with only 3 T cells, Dee Dee knows that it takes more than medicine to be healthy -- it takes will, perseverance and self-esteem. You have to show that you want to live, and Dee Dee knew that God had a mission for her. Where she once entered jail through its back doors, she now goes in through the front to help other transgender people just like her make it through the system and live a life full of opportunity, not tragedy.
I want to start out by talking to you about when you found out that you were HIV positive. So, if you could just describe that situation, the date, and how you found out about your diagnosis.
I was diagnosed 25 years ago, in 1987. And it was during the time when I was expecting it. There were people dying all around me. We couldn't even keep up with the people that were dead. We would have to call and make sure: Did you tell me that somebody died that day?
It was like a holocaust. It was a tragedy. We had no counseling to get through it. And so, when I became positive, I kind of denied it, went into denial for like seven years. Did drugs, alcohol, prostituted, and did the whole realm. And, really, literally was trying to kill myself, because that's the way it seemed that the world wanted me to just disappear. Nobody wanted to look at me. People were very discriminatory toward transgenders, as far as getting jobs and stuff like that. So, my only choice was to prostitute at that time.
Once I found out, and after the seven years of denial, I realized that I hadn't went nowhere. So, I decided I better brush the dirt off of me and kick the flowers to the side -- that the funeral is not going to be held, it doesn't seem. I got up and I started trying to find me a support group, someone that could help me love myself again.
And I did find it. I found a group called Common Ground. When I first went there, I couldn't believe these people. When I first went up in the yard -- they was in the yard when I got there, at the house -- and they had this fried chicken. It was piled up so high. I had never seen fried chicken piled up that high. And I said, "I wonder what kind of people these are here."
So, I went on up there and I met them. They told me about the group. There was a group that they had every day, and they provided lunch for you. It was a spiritual group, where they had poetry and spiritual meditation and different exercises like catalyst, massage, Reiki massage, and different things like that, that we could do to improve our whole emotional and physical being.
I started going every day. And they started loving me like I was. They didn't have no judgments. These people are special that have been sent to me by God. They taught me to love myself, and I stayed there at that group for like five years. And they poured so much love in me. I said, "Oh, what am I going to do without this love, you know, poured into me? I know I'm not supposed to just receive all this, and not do anything with it." So that started my next level in my journey to find out what I was supposed to do.
"We couldn't even keep up with the people that were dead. We would have to call and make sure: Did you tell me that somebody died that day?"
And where I had came from, the things that had happened to me -- going to jail, prostituting, drugs, and all that -- all those things were big, bad issues in my life. But it turned out, those happened to be the issues that gave me triumph, too. Because even though I went through the jailhouse in the back of the jailhouse doors, then it turned around to where I was able to go through the front and do support groups in there for the transgender people. I got on the task force with the Atlanta police department, and we developed a relationship with the city chief of police. And that brought about a change.
Dee Dee, I just want to go back real quickly to when you were diagnosed. I know that you now live in Atlanta, Ga. Were you diagnosed in Atlanta?
Yes, I was diagnosed here at Grady Hospital, during the time when they didn't want to touch you, and all the horrible, horrible stories that we had to go through.
So, you were sick, and you were admitted to the hospital? And that's where they tested you?
OK. And how old were you when that happened?
I think I was 27.
So, you felt ill, went to the hospital and they admitted you. They tested you, and that's when they told you that you had an HIV diagnosis. Do you have an AIDS diagnosis, or do you have HIV?
I have an AIDS diagnosis.
Did that happen at that hospitalization? Did they tell you that you had AIDS?
Do you remember what your T-cell count was during that time that you got diagnosed?
It was like 30, because I had tuberculosis. When I healed from the tuberculosis, then my numbers came back up a little. Then I got sick again, and they fell back down to 3. I lived on those 3 T cells -- I call them the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost -- for the next 10 years.
Bactrim [co-trimoxazole] really was the thing that kept me alive then. Because I didn't want to take the medications that were out during that time because of the side effects that people were experiencing. The way it makes you look -- you know, your skin, everything -- it was just horrible and my system couldn't take it. It was too harsh.
And, after living on those 3 T cells, it taught me that, because I had built up my self-esteem and my mental health had improved to such an extent, that that really was a key ingredient, besides the medicine, that helped me to keep going.
When you were admitted to the hospital, did you suspect that it might be HIV? Were you aware that you might be at risk?
I knew. I was doing everything everybody that was dying around me was doing. So I knew my time was coming, too. I hadn't done anything different than they had did. We were having the same men, you know, turning the same tricks.
Do you know who you got HIV from?
No, I couldn't, not possibly.
After you got your diagnosis in the hospital, do you remember who was the first person you told?
"I was doing everything everybody that was dying around me was doing. So I knew my time was coming, too. I hadn't done anything different than they had did. We were having the same men, you know, turning the same tricks."
The first person I told, I think, was my mother.
And when was that?
That was like five years after the seven-year period. After seven years of denial, five years after that I was able to tell my mother.
How did you start that conversation?
I just told her.
Was this over the phone, or was it in person?
Yes, over the phone. I just told her. And I told her about the medicine I was taking, and everything. She said, "Oh, I don't believe you got that." It was just like she just brushed it out of her mind. "You don't have that." I looked at it in a positive way, you know -- that she's believing that I don't have it.
Did she ever come to the reality that you are living with HIV?
I talk about it all the time. My sisters know about it. They have even worked at my organization, volunteered. She doesn't say too much about it, or ask any questions about it. I have to just tell her different things that are happening in my life. Then I explain things about HIV and AIDS along the way. And she don't ask me any questions. I just have to do that and then that's how she's getting her education. Because she don't want me to know that I'm actually educating her.
Think about people that you told about your HIV status that were family or friends. Did any of those relationships change, either for the better or for worse, when you told them?
With my family, it was about the same. Because they figured, I guess, to be a transgender, HIV is right along the same. We already felt like you was dead when we found out you were transgender.
Talk to me about that. That's a sad phrase that you just said. Tell me about when you came to them and said, "I'm transgender."
Yeah. See, they went through a mourning process. My two sisters went through because they mourned the loss of a brother. Because they had a brother no more. And my mother, she went through mourning because she lost a son. She has embraced me way further than I thought she could have ever been capable of doing. Because of the time she was raised in, and how she was taught, I did not think she would be able to get to the point she is today. My sisters, they didn't have too much trouble with it.
What year was this that you shared with them that you were transitioning?
I think it was '90.
OK. So, in 1990, you shared that information with them. Do you remember where you were? Was it over the phone? Was it face to face?
It was on the phone, never in face to face -- not with my mama.
Why is that?
Because she had thunderbolts come out of her eyes, and smoke would come out her ears. I was deathly afraid of her. I was afraid of my mother up until my 30s, really. Still. She had that kind of control, you know.

Directing Without Shame: Bringing HIV-Focused Telenovela Sin Vergüenza to Life
An Interview With Series Director Paco Farias
January 25, 2013
Family secrets ... betrayed trust ... condom usage?
The classic, persistent themes of Spanish-language soap operas, also known as telenovelas, get a refreshing, enthralling update in Sin Vergüenza (Without Shame), the new telenovela that is taking the Internet by storm. Presented in English as well as Spanish, and imagined and realized by California's vast AltaMed health care network, the aim of the show is to "educate without being educational." The project is a unique endeavor -- it combines a fresh narrative format with the ability to tackle real-world issues such as HIV, stigma, lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender (LGBT) issues, family issues, infidelity, shame, aging, dating and more.
Before you read, make sure to watch Episode 2 of Sin Vergüenza. Stay tuned for two more episodes in the coming weeks -- each accompanied by a conversation with key people involved in the production!

In the second interview in this four-part series, TheBody.com sat down with the director of Sin Vergüenza, Paco Farias. A longtime watcher and admirer of telenovelas, Farias knew he had to pay homage to the format while updating it for a modern audience. In this interview, he talks about the lengths to which the actors went to perform the scenes in English and Spanish; the privilege of being a Latino director taking the helm of this unique project; and his favorite scenes to shoot throughout the process.
Can you talk a little bit about how you became a director?
I started out as an actor first. In the late part of 1999, I came to Los Angeles to try acting out here. I got a job as an assistant to a director on a DVD series. From there, I started to work very closely in post-production and learned how to edit. That slowly became my main source of income instead of acting, and I became an editor. About five or six years ago, I started to do short films with a friend of mine, Douglas Horn, who is a very talented writer, director and filmmaker. I then started directing my own short films. That's kind of what led to this job offer -- my very first directing gig.
Who approached you to direct Sin Vergüenza?
For the past year, I've been working with Ben Odell. Ben is the head of production at Pantelion Films [the first major Latino-focused Hollywood studio]. I've been writing for him for over a year now, along with my writing partner, Jennifer Stetson, who actually did help me out with Sin Vergüenza. Ben knows that I wanted to direct features. The director that was hired for Sin Vergüenza had to back out because of a conflict, so the producers from AltaMed were scrambling at the last minute to find someone. They asked Ben if he could recommend someone, and Ben recommended me, and that's how I got the job. I had to interview with them, but that's how I got in the door.
It was interesting because this was new territory for them. Up until then, AltaMed had done mostly instructional videos. They were venturing out into a narrative world, and they kind of wanted to get my take on what the novela should be like. What I said to them was, because of the subject matter, this project had to be treated with panache, but with a little more respect.
When people think of telenovelas, there are certain preconceptions that come with that. One of things that pops first into my mind when I think of the older telenovelas is this hyperbolic acting, speaking and tone that's very popular within the genre. That's changing. I watched a lot of telenovelas for research, and I think it's a lot more subtle these days, even though the heightened drama is still there -- I don't think that's ever going to go away. I said to them, "I think that's kind of what we want to shoot for. I think we want it to be a little more cinematic and have a high level of production value, because with the subject matter, if there's any sense of us being flippant or light or sort of making fun of it, then I think that works against us." They completely agreed, and that's what we set out to do.
You know, my mother called me after watching it and said, "I like it a lot, but it doesn't feel like a telenovela." And I said, "Well, that's good; that's what we were shooting for."
You want to pay tribute to the format and use the format, but still do something fresh and new.
Why do you think that the telenovela format is such a great platform to tell the story? What about the genre works for this particular story?
All of the characters in the telenovela were based on actual people, actual cases, that the producers and story creators had come across in their work. These are heightened realities. The experiences that these people are going through in real life are so heightened that it can feel like a soap opera -- incredibly emotional, and sad. Those are all elements that I'm familiar with in telenovelas. It seemed to be a good fit.
When you were offered this project, what made you want to take it on? What did you see in it that was appealing to you?
I thought the message was great, as far as reaching an underserved population. According to the producers and the data, as Latinos, we are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS. I think that may be because of our culture, and the way we handle subjects that are scandalous or taboo: We try to ignore them, and hopefully, they'll go away.
That that's the way it was in my household growing up. If there was something borderline scandalous, you just didn't talk about it. And if somebody tried to bring it up, it was "Oh, I don't want to talk about that. We're not going to talk about it." I can only speak from my own experience, but there's a heavy religious aspect to the Latino community. There's that sort of "properness" that makes you just not talk about sex or sexuality. It's like being in Catholic school. Everybody's aware of sex, but nobody acknowledges it for fear that they would have to have a discussion about it. It's ignored. And that's part of the problem. I thought Sin Vergüenza was a wonderful out-of-the-box idea for addressing that problem. And, I really liked the people that were putting it together.
My two biggest reasons for taking on this project were the subject matter and the people I was going to get to work with. I sat down with the story creators, Natalie Sanchez and Hilda Sandoval; we got together over dinner and just started talking. These two extraordinary women talked about all these people that they had met, and come across, and how they wanted to reach out to the Latino community and this was their idea. From that premise, from that point on, I was on board. And, once I got to work with the casting director, Blanca Valdez, again, and started to assemble the cast, I just got more and more excited, because I was going to get to work with so many wonderful actors.

Clean energy, not coal, is the solution to poverty
It is the development conundrum of our era. Extremely poor people cannot lift themselves out of poverty without access to reliable energy. More than a billion people live without power today, denying them opportunities as wide-ranging as running a business, providing light for their children to study, or even cooking meals with ease.
Ending poverty requires confronting climate change, which affects every nation and every person. The populations least able to adapt – those that are the most poor and vulnerable – will be hardest hit, rolling back decades of development work.
How do we achieve the dual goals of expanding energy production for those without power and drastically reducing emissions from sources such as coal that produce carbon dioxide, the primary contributor to climate change?
There is no single answer and we cannot ask poor communities to forego access to energy because the developed world has already put so much carbon pollution in the air.
An array of policies and programs backed with new technology and new thinking can — if combined with political will and financial support — help poor populations get the energy they need while accelerating a worldwide transition to zero net carbon emissions.

DPI Settings
In general the autodetected DPI does not fit the smaller resolution very well at all. A good comfortable setting would be 96dpi or 75dpi if you like your fonts really small. An easy way to set your DPI would be to add this to the end of your xserverrc (located in
exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp -dpi 96
See also Xorg#Display size and DPI.
Graphic Performance
See Intel for more information.
According to the Intel driver documentation, X-Video Motion Compensation or "XvMC" is not enabled by default. Enabling this option can greatly reduce CPU utilization when playing back MPEG-2 video. To enable this option, two things need to be done; first, add this to the device section of your
Option "XvMC" "true"
Lastly, create a configuration file to tell the X server where the XvMC library is:
echo /usr/lib/libIntelXvMC.so > /etc/X11/XvMCConfig
For a nice GUI tool, try lxrandr; it is very simple to use!
Switch to External Monitor:
xrandr --output LVDS --off --output VGA --auto
Switch back to eeepc's LCD:
xrandr --output LVDS --auto --output VGA --off
I got the best powersaving from a combination of Laptop Mode Tools.
Use laptop-mode to control all power saving features. Enable bluetooth.conf, cpufreq.conf, hal-polling.conf, intel-hda-powersave.conf, usb-autosuspend.conf, and lcd-brightness.conf.
- For lcd-brightness, use the following options. Adjust your max/min brightness as suits you. The maximums are located in the same directory as the control file.
BATT_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 3" LM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 15" NOLM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 15" BRIGHTNESS_OUTPUT="/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/eeepc/brightness"
- The intel-hda-powersave has a side-effect. Short sounds such as IM notifications may not come through, or will be messed up as it starts playing the sound before the sound card wakes up.
Super Hybrid Engine
The eeepc "Super Hybrid Engine" as it is known under Windows has a significant effect on powersaving. This underclocks the FSB for powersave/overclocks for performance and can be controlled via
/sys/devices/platform/eeepc/cpufv which is provided by the
eeepc_laptop module. The following is a laptop-mode configuration for it that controls it automatically.
#! /bin/sh if [ x$SUPERHE_CONTROL_FILE = x ]; then SUPERHE_CONTROL_FILE=/sys/devices/platform/eeepc/cpufv fi if [ x$CONTROL_SUPERHE = x1 ]; then if [ $ON_AC -eq 1 ]; then if [ $ACTIVATE -eq 1 ]; then SUPERHE_VALUE="$LM_AC_SUPERHE" else SUPERHE_VALUE="$NOLM_AC_SUPERHE" fi else SUPERHE_VALUE="$BATT_SUPERHE" fi echo $SUPERHE_VALUE > $SUPERHE_CONTROL_FILE fi
# # Configuration file for Laptop Mode Tools module eee-superhe # # For more information, consult the laptop-mode.conf(8) manual page. # # Control FSB speed. Requires eeepc_laptop kernel module loaded. CONTROL_SUPERHE=1 # 2 is powersave # 1 is normal # 0 is performance BATT_SUPERHE=2 LM_AC_SUPERHE=0 NOLM_AC_SUPERHE=0 # If your system has the control file located at another point # configure it here # SUPERHE_CONTROL_FILE=
The rt2860sta wireless has pretty good powersaving, but it is a tradeoff between throughput<->power usage. Minimum power usage gives a pretty low throughput of ~11KB/s when I would normally get >1MB/s.
iwpriv ra0 set PSMode=MAX_PSP
- MAX_PSP - maximum power saving
- CAM - seems to be normal
- FAST_PSP - ? untested, probably a medium value.
Install the acpi-eeepc-genericAUR package from AUR. You must install version 0.9 or greater, as previous versions do not have support for the 1000HE.
If you want to use pm-suspend from pm-utils with acpi-eeepc-generic, edit
/etc/conf.d/acpi-eeepc-generic.conf to comment out the line
#SUSPEND2RAM_COMMANDS=("echo -n \"mem\" > /sys/power/state") # Simple suspend
and uncomment the line
SUSPEND2RAM_COMMANDS=("pm-suspend") # Use pm-utils
To scale the CPU and possibly save a bit of power, you will want to set up CPU frequency scaling. For this you will be using the
acpi-cpufreq kernel module. Note that if you have already configured Laptop Mode Tools to set governors, frequencies, etc then you do not need to bother with loading the cpufreq daemon.

It's the basic question when investing in a stock: is it on the way up or will it go down?
To answer this question, the street has developed numerous ways of attempting to predict what will happen, estimating various attributes tied to stock performance in order to determine what the future holds for a company's valuation.
After dissecting the data, analysts following a particular stock produce a price target of where they believe the stock is headed. From the entire S&P 500, which stocks are analysts expecting to have the biggest pops? With data from Capital IQ, we took a look at which stocks have mean consensus estimates farthest above their stock prices (as of market close on 3/4/11).
So, which stocks do analysts on average predict will have the biggest pop? Click ahead to find out!

Research Highlights
June 2010
Breaking Good
Study examines durability of glass with ties to nuclear waste storage
In a first-of-its-kind study, scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory determined how durable four-component glass is when aluminum atoms are replaced by boron atoms and vice versa. Enlarge Image
Results: In a first-of-its-kind study, scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory determined how durable four-component glass is when aluminum atoms are replaced by boron atoms and vice versa. By determining the effect of these elements, scientists can better predict how water interacts with minerals and glass. Water-glass interactions matter to people working to glassify liquid and sludge-like waste from nuclear weapons into a safer, solid form. Water-mineral interactions are also of interest to geochemist and agricultural scientists who want to know how minerals weather.
Why it matters: As with any power source, the safety of workers, the environment, and nearby populations must be considered. In nuclear power, this means trapping or immobilizing certain radioactive elements in the waste. In addition, nuclear waste from decades-old weapons sites must be permanently and safely stored. This research supports continuing efforts to manufacture a vitrified form that safely encapsulates the waste.
Methods: Using several spectrometers including EMSL's 900-MHz nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, five glass samples with different ratios of boron and aluminum were studied. These samples were four-component glass. These glasses are so named because it contains four major nonradioactive parts of vitrified atomic waste: alumina, boron oxide, sodium oxide, and silica. These four components play a significant role in the determining the chemical durability of glass.
The spectrometry results were combined with flow-through dissolution experiments. The flow-through experiments allowed the scientists to evaluate the relationship between the atomic structure and the rate of glass dissolution.
The scientists found that water determines how fast the glass dissolves. Water breaks apart bonds between aluminum and oxygen as well as silicon and oxygen under certain conditions (noted in previous studies). Determining how substituting other elements weakens or strengthens water's desire to break apart the bonds is critical in understanding the processes that control water's interactions with minerals and glass.
What's next? This research is part of ongoing work at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and elsewhere to answer the questions about chemically durable waste forms.

Doing Hard Time (Stone Barrington) by Stuart Woods
When Stone Barrington embarks on a trip to Bel-Air to check in on some business and personal concerns, he expects a relaxing break from the fast pace and mean streets of New York. But trouble never takes a vacation, and it has a way of finding Stone. A case that had seemingly been resolved has returned in full force—with lethal results. And this deadly situation makes for strange bedfellows when Stone finds himself teamed with the least likely ally . . . a gentleman of unique abilities, who can fly below the radar and above the law.
From the high-stakes poker tables of Las Vegas to California's lush beachside resorts, the trail of disguise, subterfuge, and murder leads to a shocking conclusion.

Dont know what this is, got it from the garage sale April 2011.
Something appears to have eaten this plant. Hopefully it will grow back. I think it was grasshoppers as there are quite a few of them about. - Wow, after 2-3 weeks its almost doubled in size with a new shoot, plus the old one is coming back.
This is really starting to get big. I dont think it will get much bigger but its certainly established.
I should really try to figure out what this is as I see it everywhere. My one seems to be going from strength to strength.
Still dont know what this is but its doing really well. Hard to imagine thats its only been there for just over a year.
Looking a bit jaded for the winter but still holding its own and maybe a little bigger?
This seems to be getting bigger.
August 2011 it has frogs in it, they must think its a good place to hang out.

MILWAUKEE, March 17 (UPI) -- Monta Ellis finished with 39 points and sparked a fourth-quarter comeback Sunday that boosted the Milwaukee Bucks over Orlando 115-109.
Ellis canned five of his 13 three-pointers in the final frame, during which he poured in 25 of his total points to help the the Bucks rally from 13-point deficit.
Ersan Ilyasova (20 points, 11 rebounds) and Brandon Jennings (15, 14 assists) each provided a double-double as Milwaukee halted a three-game losing streak.
The Magic got a combined 47 points from Arron Afflalo and Maurice Harkless but still fell for the fifth time in six games.
Nikola Vucevic supplied 20 points and 15 boards for Orlando.

1969 Trans Am Convertible Display Headlines the 2012 MCACN
Those musclecar fans who made it to the fourth annual Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals, held this past November at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois, were treated to a truly once-in-a-lifetime event. In addition to a display of more than 600 of the highest-quality examples of '60s and '70 vintage performance cars available in North America, those lucky individuals who passed through the gates witnessed the assemblage of six of the eight '69 Trans Am convertibles produced. It was the first display seen when entering the show, and was nothing short of breathtaking.
Bob Ashton, a Detroit-area car enthusiast, conceived this invitation-only indoor event and launched it in 2009. It is held on the weekend before Thanksgiving every year and is a fantastic finale to the show car season. The idea for bringing the Trans Am droptops together this year was a natural.
"Since we knew where several of the originals were, we thought it would not only be fun, but a real challenge to find the others and extend the invitation," Ashton said. "MCACN Member Charley Lillard started making calls, and before long, we had six confirmed with leads on the other two …"
Of the other two cars, one was located in California and the owner was unable to send it out. The other is the infamous "missing" car, which had been reputed to be in Canada, though some enthusiasts believe it has since been destroyed.
Looking over the display of these rare machines was fascinating, as there are many subtle differences between the cars, like interior options, top and upholstery colors, as well as some between the original survivors and the restored examples. All four of the automatic versions were displayed, while two of the four-speeds were present, one of which was midway through a restoration.
The 2013 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals will be held this coming November 23-24, again at the Donald E. Stephens Center in Rosemont, Illinois. Updates on the show are available online at the event website, www.mcacn.com.
Automotive Visionary John Fitch Remembered
Throughout his life, John Fitch proved to be one of the most driven renaissance men in the automobile industry. After serving the US as a pilot in World War II, he raced MGs, Mercedes, Porsches, Ferraris, and Corvettes; developed the Fitch Sprint Corvair, his own Corvair-based Fitch Phoenix, the Fitch Firebird, and the Toronado Phantom; was the first general manager of Lime Rock Park; and invented numerous highway safety systems still in use today, including the ubiquitous yellow, sand-filled crash-cushion barrels known as Fitch barriers, which are commonly seen in front of bridge abutments and other potential roadside hazards.
In 1998, he received the Kenneth Stonex Award from the Transportation Research Board of the National Academy of Sciences for his lifelong contributions to road-traffic safety. In 2003 and 2005, at the ages of 87 and 89 respectively, he attempted to break a class land-speed record in a '50s-era Mercedes 300 SLR.
Along with numerous books, at least two films were produced about Fitch in his lifetime, Gullwing at Twilight: The Bonneville Ride of John Fitch and The Quest, which documents Fitch's return to the scene of his 24 Hour of Le Mans win in a '60 Corvette to celebrate the event's 50th anniversary.
Fitch was 95 years old when he passed away on October 31, 2012.
The world needs more people like John Fitch. Let's try to find them and turn 'em loose.
Here are Pontiac Special Projects Engineer Herb Adams' recollections of Fitch: "When I first met John over 40 years ago, I didn't know anything about his significant contributions to the war effort or automobile design and development. At the time, we were developing the Pontiac Firebird Sprint Turismo (PFST) at Pontiac; John was also working on a specialty version of the Firebird. He invited us to compare our prototype cars at Lime Rock. He even arranged to have Sam Posey do the test-driving.
"This test and others showed that our approach to handling was better, so the Trans Am ended up using the package we engineered and developed at Pontiac.
But what impressed me about John was his attitude. He was a true gentleman. Instead of being bitter or hostile, he encouraged us to keep improving the Trans Am's handling. We did, and he always supported our work, so long as we advanced the state of the art in automotive design and development. "As you go through life, there are certain people who motivate and encourage you to work toward progress in your field of endeavor. John was such a person to me.
"After our Fitchbird/PSFT shootout, we continued to compare notes and ideas. Even much later, when I was trying to decide if I should go ahead with the Contessa, John told me to do it. When I described the advances we had made on its chassis design, he asked if it could be used on a body design he was thinking about. He even hired me to do the initial work to see how his body design could be adapted to our chassis. He didn't go ahead with the project, but for me it was terrific encouragement. If John could see the benefits, we knew we were on the right track.
Norwood Assembly Employees Reassemble to Remember the Good Old Days
Just mention the name GM Norwood Assembly in Pontiac circles today and visions of the halcyon '70s performance era is immediate. For hardcore Pontiac fans, this is the magical place where the majority of the Firebirds and Trans Ams were born.
Fast-forward to the 21st century and what do we have? The answer is: An automotive renaissance of sorts going on right in the city of Norwood, Ohio. As improbable as it would seem—the union and the managers of the famous Norwood Assembly Plant let bygones be bygones and reunited as a group over 1,000 strong this past August. That's a first for any closed GM factory.
With a select grouping of Norwood-built survivor and show car owners, including Trans Ams and Formulas, as a backdrop, the United Auto Workers' (UAW) retired and salaried alumni group came together for a two-day celebration of the plant's history, its people, and its products. The highlight of the reunion was a one-day party on August 25, 2012, on an old plant parking deck, which was not demolished in 1989 when the remainder of the plant was torn down to make way for redevelopment.
The next Norwood Assembly Plant reunion is tentatively scheduled for August 2013, and a book on Norwood Assembly Plant's history is in the works. For more information, visit www.norwoodassemblyplant.com. —Phillip Borris

"I CAN'T give you the formula for success, but I can give you one for failure -- try to please everyone."
Tracy Brooks Swope Avildsen insists this was said by her grandfather Herbert Bayard Swope at the Freedom House Dinner in the '40s.
Tracy is annoyed that this quote is being attributed to Bill Cosby in books of famous quotes. "Talk about re-writing history!" says Tracy.
As a matter of fact, famous sayings are always being misattributed, borrowed and they live on and on.

Steve: I have been reviewing your posts. You seem to be a very angry man. Is anger a fruit of the spirit? Also I echo Prodramus' statements as well.
When you don't quote an entire statement and lift things out of context, that is not being honest.Yes I am against both sides of the dispute: I made that very clear: "2 egomaniacs jockeying for power". They are both in the wrong. What does this have to do with Lord Jesus or the Orthodox Christian faith ?You're right, I am clueless about Romiosini. What does that word mean ?"Ethnic" refers to your ethnicity, which has nothing to do with your spirituality.I use the term "Greek-Rite" to distinguish the Orthodox of the Greek/Byzantine Rite, the Rite of Constantinople ,from the Oriental Orthodox -- for the purpose of clarity.Yes I am a branch theorist to a point. Lord Jesus established His Church. He did not establish a Greek Church, or a Syrian or Egyptian or Roman, etc. etc.Because He is always beyond our ideas and images of Him (He is Who He is), His Church, His Body is always beyond what we think it is. It can not be identified fully with any earthly branch. Orthodox Christianity (Greek + all the Oriental)has retained the clearest understanding of the faith. But we only can come close to this understanding if we are focused upon Lord Jesus, if we have a relationship with Him. If we don't have a closer relationship with Him, a deeper sense of Him and His love for us, a deeper love for our neighbor, a greater compassion and understanding of our neighbor now than we did a year ago--we are going in the WRONG direction.You are an Old Calendarist Greek Orthodox , a branch that regards The Patriarchate of Constantinople and the Church of Greece and the others who adopted it, as heretical , for adopting the Gregorian calendar. To me a non-issue. Use whichever calender you want. That doesn't effect anything basic.Tell me Anastasios--Who is Jesus to you ? I've asked you that before but you refuse to answer. You and others on this website never refer to Him; that makes me VERY UNCOMFORTABLE with you. It seems as if some of you have created a Jesus-less "Orthodoxy". That of course would not be Christian, not be Orthodox; it would be total apostacy.By the way: you had no business adding "end times rant " to my post. That was an abuse of your authority as moderator. Steve
There is such a thing as justifiable anger (as in Lord Jesus driving the money changers out of the Temple). When people refuse to answer direct questions. When they make statements like: 'you are a heretic", "you have no sense of reality" , etc. without explaining themselves; when people treat clerics as if they are sinless, holy simply because they are clerics, that does make me angry. When people ignore the legalized mass slaughter of our own children by abortion (as Patriarch Bartholomew who has never made one statement on abortion in the 16 years he's been Patriarch); when people viciously attack sincere inquirers into Orthodox Christianity who are just asking questions, driving sincere seekers away from Orthodox Christianity, which I have seen repeatedly done on this website , it does make me angry. I have never encountered , on any other Christian website, the degree of viciousness that I have encountered on this site. It isn't the majority but it's a very large minority. Why is there such a lack of love in so many "Orthodox" people ?
I witnessed the great integrity of Anastasios and Pravoslavbob, who were accused in certain things here. They both have demonstrated that all the time.
How in Mor's good nameone hundred fifty four postsNo Rachel Weisz picSelam
Hi Steve - I happen to be the moderator who added "End Times Rant" to the end of the thread, since I'm the one who also split this post off from the North American Unity thread. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/rantRantnoun1. a loud bombastic declamation expressed with strong emotion [syn: harangue] 2. pompous or pretentious talk or writing [syn: bombast] rant (v.)1598, from Du. randten "talk foolishly, rave," of unknown origin (cf. Ger. rantzen "to frolic, spring about"). The noun is first attested 1649, from the verb. Ranters "antinomian sect which arose in England c.1645" is attested from 1651; applied 1823 to early Methodists. A 1700 slang dictionary has rantipole "a rude wild Boy or Girl."I think that your opening post fits either definition quite well, and so I decided to add the noun "rant" to the title, to make it more descriptive to those who may be confused about why this was in a new thread. The second half of your post has little to do with the first half, and only the first half was relevant to the North Am Unity thread, so I decided to split it off, in order to keep comments about your End Times Rant out of that other thread. I stand by my decision more resolutely after seeing how this thread has progressed (if one would really call it "progress"). If you have a problem with my decision, you should appeal it to FrChris, who oversees the work of the Global Moderators.
You clearly do not understand what a moderator is, nor the difference between being a moderator and being a member of this website--you have 2 hats and you're confusing them.. You may not add your comments to someone else's post. You may comment on the post as member.I will take this up with Father Chris.Steve
That's not the part of your post he was referring to. Be careful about accusations that you make.

Pravoslavbob,I'm sorry I accused you of adding "and End Times Rant" to my post.Steve
Don't believe everything you think.
The more I know, the less I know.
The only way to Orthodox Christian unity is to ignore jurisdictional disputes by focusing on the ONLY Head of the Church--Lord Jesus Christ, our God and Savuiour.I am personally sick to death of the egomaniacal jockeying for power of both Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople and Patriarch Alexis of Moscow. This is doing great harm to the Orthodox Church. Neither is a man I admire or look to for spiritual guidance.I accept any jurisdiction that professes the Orthodox Christian faith in the Three-in-One (Trinity): Father-Lord Jesus Christ-Holy Spirit, that acknowledges Lord Jesus as the ONLY Head of His Church, God the Son become Man, crucified for and by our evil (our hatred of LOVE/God and of each other), atoning for our sins, cleansing us; reuniting His soul and body in His glorious Resurrection, restoring His human nature to the original pre-fallen state, restoring our human nature in His; ascending into Father, deifying His human nature, deifying our human nature in His, sending Holy Spirit into us to make us partakers of His Divine-Human nature, partakers of His cleansing, restoration and deification of our human natures. The faith of the Nicene Creed. I accept any jurisdiction that emphasizes love above all, that rejects hatred in any form: abortion, abuse, prejudice, pride, greed, lust, nationalism, racism; that acknowledges the Divine Image in each human person from the beginning,-conception. I accept the following , if they abide by the above:Albanian, Patriarchate of Alexandria (Greek),Antiochian, Armenian, Belorussian, Bulgarian, Cyprus,Egyptian (Coptic),Eritrean, Ethiopian, Finnish, Georgian, Hungarian, Indian, Patriarchate of Jerusalem(Greek), Latvian, Macedonian, Orthodox Church in America,Romanian, Russian (Moscow Patriarchate/ Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia/ Old Believers), Serbian, Slovak, Syrian, Ukrainian ( Patriarchate of Constantinople/ Patriarchate of Moscow/ Patriarchate of Kiev). Plus any I've forgotten.I make no distinction between Greek/Byzantine Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox.The Oriental Orthodox churches were not , as Churches, ever monophysitic.As far as the Patriarchate of Kiev is concerned: no it isn't kosher for a Church to make itself a a patriarchate; but it's also not kosher for a Church to make itself autocephalous as the Russian Church did in 1463 and the Church of Greece did in 1833. Both initially rejected by the Patriarchs of Constantinople (Istanbul) but later accepted by them. There is no real difference between a patriarch and an archbishop of an autocephalous church.The human race is in a very serious state. All Christians are dealing with militant atheism, militant Islam and occultism ( which has become incredibly widespread in the past 40 years). We are all dealing with satanic child-hatred: abortion, abuse, abandonment, neglect, people who put themselves before their children, people who spoil their children (a form of abuse usually not recognized as such), people who actually worship their children (turning them into raving egomaniacs).Focus on what is important, ignore the picky stuff. Don't discount devout Roman Catholics and Evangelicals; cooperate where you can with them and with other sincere seekers of truth.We are clearly at the end of the end of the End Times. When people have reached the point of hating their own children we're there; when people have reached the point where they openly mock and blaspheme Lord Jesus, even to the point of mocking His suffering and death for us, we're clearly there. When those who call themselves Christians are denying Him in their own churches (the Great Apostacy which is running through every Christian body on earth and has completely dominated many ), we're clearly there . I seriously doubt we have 20 years to Lord Jesus' manifestation in glory, when He will re-unite the dead with their bodies, show forth the general judgement, leave the haters of Love -the evil- to the outer darkness they have chosen, and create a new universe where Love is all in all.Amen ! Come Lord Jesus.Steve
