Fuzzy Kingdome Memories: November 28, 1993
Really, you should start here... but for those of you who don't want to go over to that link, here's the most important bits:
1993 was also my first year at Western, and yes, you'll have to slog through this... I was in love. She was a girl I had known for two years in high school, and we worked closely together on the school paper (NERRRRRRDS!). We became good friends, and a big chunk of the reason I went to WWU was to follow her there. I was already crazy about her before we left for Bellingham, but once we got there, as two dorks from the Tri-Cities, we hung onto each other for dear life. We ate at her dorm's dining hall every night. I would watch TV in her dorm room with her all the time (including Star Trek TNG every Saturday night... NERRRRDS!).... We spent 3-4 hours a day together.
Alas, I was Toby Flenderson to her Pam Beesly... We were "best friends," but of course that wasn't what I wanted... and being an 18-year-old dipshit, I had some weird ways of trying to woo her.
Like taking her to a Seahawks game.
Over a month after that stirring victory over the Patriots, it was Thanksgiving Break, and we were both back home in Kennewick. Things were going well between us, in a completely platonic way (grrrrr). We shared a ride from Bellingham to Kennewick together at the start of the break, and had agreed to drive back early on Sunday morning, and go to the Seahawks/Broncos game together before getting up to WWU for our Monday classes.
Even though I had already taken her to a Seahawks game, this was a BRONCOS game. On top of that, it was one of those Death Match kind of games... The Hawks were 5-5, and the Broncos were 6-4. Seattle had beaten up on the Browns two weeks earlier, and had the bye week to prepare for the 3rd highest-scoring offense in the NFL. I for one was confident that this was where the Hawks would put it all together and start a postseason run. I was also confident it would be a great day with my (I wish she was more than) best friend, nudging us that much closer to dating, marriage, babies, all that jazz.
Then I got the phone call. 7 am. She not only wasn't going to go to the game with me, she was going to get a ride back to Bellingham with someone else. Another guy. Who I would later find out was her new boyfriend. Ouch.
I wish I could tell you that I took the news with grim stoicism and class. BZZZZZZZ! Nope. Wrong answer. I took it more like a crying, whiny little bitch. By the time I got my shit together, it was 9 am and I had to hustle to make it to the game by kickoff. For the first time, I'd be going to a game solo.
I hit Seattle about 12:30, and drove right into the gaping maw of pre-game traffic, which I usually miss by being ridiculously early. So I found myself sitting on the ramp off I-90, within sight of the Dome, gridlocked. I didn't get into the stadium until a few minutes into the first quarter, but there was no score yet. Yay!
I got to my seat in the 300 level, just in time to see the pivotal play of the game, and of Seattle's season. I hadn't even sat down yet... It was 3rd and long for Denver from midfield. 65,000 twelves combined to make a deafening roar, and it looked like Antonio Edwards was going to force a 3-and-out or a turnover with a vicious blindside hit on Mr. Ed...
Somehow, Elway pulled a Ben Kenobi, sensed his impending doom, ducked under Edwards and fired a perfect 50-yard TD strike to Shannon Sharpe. 7-0 Denver, but it felt like 70-0.
The Hawks would get it together, sacking Elway 4 times (including once for a safety) and picking him once, but once Rod Bernstine punched it in late in the 4th to make it 17-9 the game and Seattle's season was over (nope, no two-point conversions in the NFL until 1994, boys and girls).
The Seahawks would finish with a 1-4 Death March towards a disappointing 6-10 finish (yes, much better than 2-14 in 1992, but still a gut punch after a 5-5 start), while Denver once again made the playoffs. This game is still one of my most unpleasant memories of being a Seahawks fan.
Me and the girl? A few months later, spurred by Valentines Day, I spilled my guts, told her I loved her, blah blah blah.
She sidestepped me and fired another TD strike of affection to her new boyfriend, unfortunately. Things ended BADLY between us.
So thanks, Elway, for making a terrible day in my life even worse. Horse faced fucker.

Listen I grew in Toronto, Canada with two brothers who were HUGE BRONCO fans.... I fell in love with the 'Hawks back in 1983 because of Steve Largent. How I hated the orange jerseys. The stupid old man wearing the barrel at Mile High Stadium. For years I tried to convince them both that once they lost Elway they'd forever be a mediocre team.
But the BEST Seahawk moment has to be the game where they fell behind 20-3 at halftime in Mile High and then came back to win on a John Friesz to Chris Warren screen pass. This is during the Ericksen years... 92 or 93 I think?

95 was the year Canadian hawks fan. Antonio Edwards made up for his 93 gaffe with a big fumble return for a TD.
Another memory of the 93 game, I was at a family thing and had to record the game on tape, rushed home, anxious to see what happened. And shazaam, Elway. Damn him.
You could write a book on the Seahawks November collapses, they used to be the Virginia Tech of the NFL.

Rick Perry knows how to do incendiary.
The Texas governor remains furious about U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder's speech last week to the NAACP convention in Houston.
To put it simply, he thought Holder — by comparing Texas' voter ID law to the Jim Crow humiliations of the American apartheid era — was using incendiary rhetoric.
So Perry — as President Obama flies to Texas for a megabucks fundraising day — fired back with some rhetoric that was equally incendiary.
"Perhaps while the president is visiting Texas," the Texas governor said in a statement, "he can take a break from big-dollar fundraisers to disavow his attorney general's offensive and incendiary comments regarding our common-sense voter identification law."
But "incendiary" was just the beginning for the Texas governor, who rarely hides his disdain for Washington and his animus for the Obama administration.
"In labeling the Texas voter ID law as a 'poll tax,' Eric Holder purposefully used language designed to inflame passions and incite racial tension. It was not only inappropriate, but simply incorrect on its face," Perry charged.
After gigging Obama and Holder, Perry laid down the political gantlet.
"The president should apologize for Holder's imprudent remarks and for his insulting lawsuit against the people of Texas," the governor declared.
We're not holding our breath for a presidential apology. Indeed, the Texas Democratic Party quickly struck back at Perry. Here's a statement from spokeswoman Rebecca Acuña:
"Rick Perry knows a thing or two about incendiary remarks. Perry's called for secession and has pushed racially charged legislation like his voter suppression legislation to invoke fear. Rick Perry should apologize for wasting taxpayer money to disenfranchise Texans."

Hi Think Atheist community it has been recently reported in a few news articles across the web that the Shroud of Turin (otherwise known as the Shroud of Jesus) is the real deal due to an alleged new found evidence. This comes as quite a surprise to me as it was sometime ago originally claimed to have been proven as a fake.
The original findings concluded and I quote:
" the Shroud was made in the 13th century, then it isn't a relic of Christ, for obvious reasons. Radiocarbon dating has repeatedly placed the Shroud as medieval in origin – specifically, between 1260AD and 1390AD." - Telegraph
To me that sounds conclusive enough to determine that the shroud is indeed a fake and forgery.
However more recent news reports claim that the tests may not have been that conclusive overall. They acknowledge that the material was calculated to have originated in the 13th century with the use of carbon dating, but also claim and I quote:
"the dating results might have been skewed by contamination and have called for a larger sample to be analysed." - Yahoo! News / Associated Press
Many of the newer reports claim that they have evidence that:
"The research in "The Mystery of the Shroud," by Giulio Fanti of the University of Padua and journalist Saverio Gaeta, is based on chemical and mechanical tests on fibers of material extracted for the carbon-dating research. An article with the findings is expected to be submitted for peer-review ...
the release of a book based on new scientific tests on the shroud that researchers say date the cloth to the 1st century." Yahoo News / Associated Press
However Pope Francis himself has yet to admit that the face impressed upon the cloth is or is not the face of Jesus. Personally I am not convinced myself at all and I find the "evidence" extremely vague to be honest. Why would the original findings conclude that the cloth was of the 13 century and then a re-test state that its now the 1st century? Something just doesn't feel right about this, its all so very vague to me.
What are your thoughts on this?
"The Turin Shroud is fake. Get over it" - Telegraph
"Shroud of Turin goes on display amid new research" - Yahoo! News / Associated Press

Use the DNA from it to make 500 clones by implanting them into 500 virgins. (How many??) Do this around the end of next March. Then xmas 2014 would be really special. "Told you I'd be back"....
If you believe it's real, I've got a piece of the true cross for a very reasonable price.
There are churches that claim to have Jesus' foreskin from when he was circumcised as an infant.
That sounds so disturbing lol
Anyway thanks for all your replies so far guys. Excellent pieces of information
Keith, I wrote an essay on the difference between the two nativity tales (Luke, the one that mentioned having to go to Bethlehem for a census, mentions this) and I joked that some church would make that claim. Found out later someone actually had. Honestly, you literally can't make this shit up, someone has already been there and was dead serious.
Steveln, I guess when you try not to judge the believers so much, its easy to forget how strange their beliefs actually are. Its actually baffling when that realisation resurfaces
John 19:40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
The "manner of the Jews to bury" was to use many linen strips tightly wound around the body with "myrrh and aloes" used to help glue the strips together. Not one huge sheet under and draped over the body.

4th September 2017
Alex Judd, GCore Business Director, scrutinises the sensationalist headlines about Google's homepage change. Is their search bar really on the way out?
Why All The Fuss?
Recently, Google announced a rather dramatic change to its homepage. Dramatic because it's the first major change since 1996.
Sitting nicely below the familiar search bar will be a scrollable feed of curated news, informed by how you've been using Google's search function.
Social media's popularity has been built on these curated feeds so, understandably, Google wants in.
Some of you may notice that, whilst it is a big change to the search homepage, the tech giant has just moved Google Now into a more prominent position. They've been testing this feature for over five years and I think it's become quite effective. The fact that I'm using Google search all the time for all sorts of different subjects hasn't thrown it too far off course. Marketing developments, football and gaming - along with major local and international major news stories - are all staples. And if it throws up something I don't like, I tell Google and I'm better for it. It's come to the point where it's pretty much my go-to feed.
The Beginning Of The End For Search?
Some sensationalist tech titles have claimed that this heralds "the death of search as we know it", but that simply isn't true.
The point of feeds like this are to provide you with both information, inspiration and entertainment when you don't really know what you're looking for. Search is there to do these things when you know exactly what you're looking for.
Whether it's to fix your freshly punctured bike tire, researching a company before interviewing, investigating how to upgrade your cyber security, finding out the best/cheapest way to get to the airport - the scenarios for search are almost endless. None of which are catered for by these type of feeds.
And, if anything, search is only getting bigger. When we look at where people are searching, we can see that traditional Google search dominates. In fact, its popularity actually rose by 5% from October 2016 – May 2017 Compare where people are searching from October 2016 to March 2017 and Google search is even bigger.
So people are still turning to search for its functional benefits in even greater numbers.
In fact, all this newsfeed is going to do is increase the dominance Google has as a traffic referrer. It's already beating the other big players in growth, so expect to see this continue.
All this does is highlight how important it is to play by Google's rules. They need to understand your content and see you as a reputable, authoritative source.
So next time you read that headline, remember, search isn't dead. It's always been a channel for functional information and it's as functional as ever.
We'd love to hear your take on this too. Head over to our Twitter page and let us know!

Byron Denenberg '56 and Judy Plattman Denenberg '57
When psychology major Judy Plattman '57 returned from the Delta Upsilon pledge dance she attended with mechanical engineering major Byron Denenberg '56, her roommate told her that she had stars in her eyes. "She also predicted that we would marry and even wrote it down to prove that she had known it from the start," says Judy.
Of course her roommate's powers of perception were correct. (Today we know that her roommate had good odds in her favor: About 15 percent of Bucknellians marry each other.) Judy and Byron were engaged and married in 1957. They have been counting their lucky stars ever since—55 years to be exact.
Throughout their years together, the Denenbergs have also had a love affair with Bucknell. Judy says, "It's because we want to give back to Bucknell for all that it has given us." She names among those gifts an excellent education for the two of them, as well as lifelong friendships. However, Byron adds, "The best gift we received was each other."
They are proud to have seven extended family members who have attended Bucknell, including a great-nephew who is a student today. "We are grateful for unforgettable life experiences and lessons during our college years at Bucknell," says Judy. That appreciation led them to become keenly interested in providing scholarships to Bucknell, especially to students from a diversity of backgrounds.
Many Bucknell families want to share the Orange and Blue experience with others, which explains the many families with multiple Bucknell degrees stretching across generations. Bucknellians also understandably enjoy the University's far-reaching name, and the warm recognition when they encounter one another by surprise around the world.
While we could not lasso 55 stars for them when the Denenbergs returned to campus for their portrait, we did give them 55 balloons. When they saw them, Judy said what so many Bucknellians say when they return to campus: "Coming back is a real gift. We love Bucknell."

Kendrick Lamar - Memories Back Then lyrics
Feat : T.I. & & Kris Stephens
[Verse 1: T.I.]
Aye, in my apartment a long time ago
I knew a bad b**h, but she was kind of slow
Still gave it up when it's a few of us
She let me finger f** her on the school bus
We used to cut school with her and run train
She want to hang with us, we want one thing
Just penetrating her throat, dawg
She choke on it like smoke, dawg
But whenever I f**ed up my reup
In a dice game I go see her
She'll give me enough to buy a quarter ounce
And then blow a blunt of that reefer
She used to buy a n***a new sneakers
Pay the bill on my beeper
Just so she can page to put a "69"
And I know it time to go freak her
Then one day I just asked her
"Why you always give your a** up?
I mean damn these hoes get paid
All you do is get laid, this sh** don't add up."
She said, "Tip, all I wanna do is feel love
Even if I know it ain't real love
Even if I know a n***a only finna hit it
And then never call back, I still f**"
And that's f**ed up, she's so trill
I need something, she go steal
When the trap hot and police ride
n***a, guess where we go chill?
For 'bout four years she held dope
And my four pounds 'til it goes down
I remember shawty, she stayed down
I won't say her name because she married now
[Hook: Kris Stephens]
When the lights go out
And I'm in my bed
I think of all the madness in my head
All of the things that I did back then
When I'm in my bed
I think of all the memories I've had
All of the things I did back then
[Verse 2: B.o.B]
She would always turn heads when she'd fall through
She would always make moves how a boss do
And she never gave any n***a time of day
But she the chick all the n***as tried to talk to
But when it came to me, she had a thing for me
When we kicked it she roll up the weed for me
And we'd both cut cla** post up in the cut steady
Watching just to see if the police coming
We got close over time, her and I
Right around the time that I first got signed
Come to think about it I was 'bout 17
I ain't even have a license, couldn't even drive
I was going back and forth with each flight
Another show after show, each night
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/kendrick-lamar/thoughts-actions/memories-back-then.html]
She became so suspicious of these other b**hes
She'd go through my phone and we'd fight
Talk about torn between the two
Wasn't really much more that we could do
Wasn't really much space for us
But she stayed down with every tour she seen me do
But I guess one night I had a few
Huh, one night I had a few
Yeah, this little chick that caught my eye
I told her "hurry up, meet me at the room"
And no, I didn't have a contraceptive
What my common sense neglected
And two months later next thing I know
I got a text that said "I'm pregnant"
And you can almost bet she kept it
And that's the reason why you left me
On top of all that, it wasn't even mine
I went and got paternity tested
[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
Wait, hold up, is that you?
With them big ol' thighs after school?
Jay 305 had gave me high five
When I said I'm in hot pursuit
You said I won't ride until Kendrick drive
A new Monte Carlo that cruise
And that shot my pride, I tried to improv
But no freestyle I never do
You looking for the n***a with the tallest 'fetti
You overlooking every n***a that ain't quite ready
To make it rain on you like I'm about to break a levee
Hold up, that p**y petty
Yeah, your nails did, your hair did
Your cell phone is selfish
It only got numbers that come with a Hummer
Her new prima donna I smelt it
Tried to make you mine, ho!
Tried to make some time, ho!
But I ain't got the time or the patience
To stop and wait in line, ho!
Her dreams holds Versace
She fall for Armani
Only deal with rich n***as
f** you and Mick Romney
I'm grown now I'm on my own now
I'm po-o-o-oppin'
Change my phone now
When I get home now
I got o-o-o-options
Fast forward, wait is that you?
With them big old thighs after school?
And your 3 kids and 3 baby daddies
And car note that's overdue?
I know

LONDON (Reuters) - Investors seeking to predict the magnitude of share price moves at times of market flux may get a faulty steer from a closely watched "fear gauge", one of investment banking's top equity traders has warned.
Citi's (C.N) Mike Pringle, global head of equity trading at the third-biggest U.S. bank, told Reuters that the VIX volatility index .VIX, is now as much a traded asset as it is a guide to investors seeking protection from losses.
The VIX reflects Standard & Poor's 500 .SPX options prices and, therefore, expectations of future market moves. The idea is that as people become fearful of losing their money, they are more willing to buy a put option as protection.
At the moment, it remains at very low levels.
"A big mistake the market makes is looking at the VIX as an indicator of stock market risk. Why? Because it's an asset class and it's more traded for yield than protection," Pringle said.
"The growth of structured products around VIX drove that move. In most cases, the VIX is sold to generate yield but during some stress periods, the weakness in the spot level triggers significant computer-generated technical buying from these products," he said.
The VIX is widely followed as an indicator of investor sentiment, although there has long been debate over its efficacy as more financial instruments are derived from it.
"It's still relevant in extremes, but not in a normal functioning market," Pringle said.
Pringle cited Citi trading strategy research showing tens of billions of dollars' worth of assets under management linked to the VIX through structured notes, which had to be rebalanced to reflect actual market moves. This dampened volatility, he said.
The Citi data showed these VIX-related contracts make up about 34 percent of overall volatility trading on the S&P 500 and as much as 44 percent of the short-term, 2-month volatility.
The VIX rose nearly 80 percent in three weeks after the Fed hinted in late May at "tapering" its stimulus, albeit from a low starting point. It has since given back almost half the gains.
At levels around 15, it is currently below its average of just over 20, nearly half the 2012 high of 28 and well off the 2011 high of 48 and all-time high of nearly 90.
While persuading others of the VIX's flaws is not easy, Pringle said Citi's handling of risk management in equities had been restructured accordingly.
Rather than relying solely on the VIX, Citi traders and clients can turn to the Central Risk Desk, through which a large proportion of its trades are routed.
The computer programs that underpin the desk's activities assess around 60 measures of market stress and timing - from global risk arbitrage spreads to dividends to repo rates - to get a better read on sentiment, behavior and deal timing.
Looked through this prism, there is greater risk currently in global markets than the narrower VIX is suggesting.
"Basically every 'fear factor' you could possibly get your hands on," Pringle said. Such a move had helped the bank be more efficient and grab 2 percent of market share in Europe, the Middle East and Africa last year, he said.
Market uncertainty has contributed to lower volumes, but Pringle saw them rising soon, though not to pre-crisis highs.
"We don't think volumes (in Europe) will ever get back where they were. At its highs the Euro STOXX 50 .STOXX50E daily volume was three times what it is now, 25 billion euros a day; it currently trades 8," Pringle said.
Those highs, fuelled by hedge fund leverage and investment banks trading on their own account aren't repeatable, Pringle said, although volumes could "definitely increase 30-40 percent by the end of the year and into the early part of 2014".
The number of shares traded daily in the Euro STOXX 50 index of euro zone blue-chip companies has ranged between 115 million and 345 million so far in 2013, against a 2008 peak of 778 million, Thomson Reuters data showed.
He expected volumes to be pushed higher partly by money from the east coast of the United States re-entering Europe.
"Pre-2008, around 10 percent of the (assets under management) internationally was invested in European equities. That's now sub-1 for the last four years. Europe won't take off until those people come back."
Pringle, though, said he was seeing signs of movement from that segment of the U.S. investment community, which remains the largest foreign investor in European shares.
"2013 is the first time that I've seen international investors coming to Europe for what you'd call 'value'," he said, referring to companies that are cheaper than peers, an out-of-favor investment play during the years of crisis.

Admitting That you Take ADHD Meds
I was diagnosed with adult ADHD about 30 years ago; since starting medication (ritalin 40mg/day) my symptoms have been eliminated and life has been great. I always concealed my diagnosis fearing that people might react negatively even though I`m a successful professional with a great family etc. I recently had surgery scheduled and was reluctant to tell the anesthesia folks that I take ritalin (I have been careful to keep this out of my medical records and all doctor visits and Rx`s have never gone thru insurance). The surgeon suggested a general anesthetic so I just went off the ritalin for 5 days beforehand, that way the drug and any of it`s effects would be long gone and I could keep my ritalin use a secret. The anesthesiologist who did the preop interview happened to be an friend from college and I asked her (off the record) if I should admit that I take ritalin for ADHD. I had expected her to criticise me for being less than honest about my medical history, but she surprized me when she suggested that I not mention my 30 years of ritalin use; as long as I have been off of it for 5 days before surgery, that was fine. She told me that a friend of hers (an anesthesia resident) was labeled as a "drug user" and treated like a leper because she had been taking stimulants for ADHD and that the medical establishment didn`t approve…same for several patients that she followed, it didn`t matter that they lead perfectly normal lives on stimulants, they were basically labeled as drug abusers and treated like crap…basically lumped into the same catagory as cocaine users. I have never been so proud of keeping my ritalin use a secret! Does stimulant use really carry that much of a stigma even in patients who have done great for most of their lives?
This question taps into wider issues: privacy of personal health information, drug interactions, data base for treatment, and stigma of illness. Although mental disorders, including substance use disorders, currently seem to carry the most stigma, it has not always been so. We have come a way since lepers had to ring a bell and yell "unclean," to warn off other people.
However, HIV currently seems to come close, possibly partly because of its association with illicit drug injection and another stigmatized activity. Even without stigmatization, some people prefer to keep their illness (e.g., irritable bowel, reproductive disorder, STD) and/or treatment confidential. That is why we have the HIPAA rules. On the other hand, it handicaps a physician not to have a complete data base (e.g., if a patient drinks heavily or smokes, it would be very relevant for the anesthesiologist to know that).
Even unintentional withholding of information from a physician may be risky (e.g., some people do not think to mention herbs when asked about medications, overlooking the fact that herbs are essentially crude drugs that could have interactions with prescription medication).
In this case it appears to have been safe to withhold information about Ritalin use because it had washed out for about 30 half-lives before anesthesia and its only interaction is to inhibit enzymes that break down some other drugs (this long of a washout should prevent interaction with anesthetics). However, it takes a good bit of medical knowledge to know when it is safe to withhold such information. Anyone who wishes to refrain from sharing all concomitant medication with a new physician (such as anesthesiologist) should discuss it with the original prescriber. Withholding medical information is not without risk.

Green Day has banned hangers-on from gaining access to their inner sanctum in a desperate bid to keep frontman Billie Joe Armstrong sober.
The band forced Armstrong to enter a rehab clinic last year for alcoholism and a prescription pills habit following a meltdown at a gig in Las Vegas in September.
The band returned to the stage on Sunday for a concert at the Fox Theater in Pomona, Calif., and bassist Mike Dirnt has revealed the rockers have installed some drastic backstage security measures to prevent the singer falling off the wagon.
Dirnt tells NME magazine, "He's in a good place. What I will say is backstage is going to be a lot different from now on. We'll watch for stuff getting passed around, not let idiots walk backstage, not get hammered and s— like that.
"When you're in a band, everyone in the world wants to have a shot with you. But if you have a shot with everyone in the world you'd be dead."

Amid mounting signs that the economic recovery is faltering, one potential remedy seems out of the question: a booster shot of government spending.
The White House says the multiyear $814 billion stimulus program passed by Congress in 2009 boosted employment by 2.5 million to 3.6 million jobs and raised the nation's annual economic output by almost $400 billion. A recent study by two prominent economists generally agrees, crediting the pump-priming with averting "what could have been called Great Depression 2.0."
If President Obama expected anyone to say, "Thank you," however, he's been disappointed. In a recent USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, 59% of respondents disapproved of the president's handling of the economy. In the partisan war over the economy's performance, the word "stimulus" has became synonymous with "boondoggle," making the notion of a repeat any time soon highly unlikely - especially if Republicans seize control of one or both houses of Congress in November.
"We have played our policy hand. Now we've got to hope it's good enough," said Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody's Analytics and co-author of the recent study.
Controversy has dogged the stimulus program since its debut. Formally known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan, the spending effort was designed to fill the hole in the economy left after the housing and credit bubbles imploded. The program was proposed by the president and enacted by Congress at the depths of the post-Lehman-Bros. financial collapse, when the economy was shrinking at an annual rate of 6% and losing 750,000 jobs a month.
Politically, the "Recovery Act" - which is divided among tax cuts, financial aid for cash-strapped state governments, emergency unemployment assistance and spending on roads, bridges and other infrastructure - has taken fire from the left and the right.
Liberal economists such as New York Times columnist Paul Krugman complained that the massive program should have been larger and was marred by the inclusion of excessive tax cuts that would have a less-immediate impact on job creation. Republicans derided the legislation as wasteful spending that would add to ballooning government debt.
Eighteen months later, the consensus among economists is that the stimulus worked in staving off a rerun of the 1930s. But the spending's impact was dwarfed by other crisis-fighting tools deployed by the Bush and Obama administrations, including costly efforts to stabilize crippled banks and the Fed's unconventional monetary policy.
"I think it was important for confidence. ... But fiscal stimulus was the least important of the three planks of the government's strategy," said Harvard University's Kenneth Rogoff, former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund.
Counting jobs
Christina Romer, the outgoing head of the president's Council of Economic Advisers, never really recovered politically from her January 2009 forecast that the stimulus would keep the unemployment rate below 8%. In fact, by the time Obama signed the Recovery Act into law on Feb. 17, 2009, it already had breached that level. (The original administration forecast was prepared using data from late 2008 before the already-wounded economy deteriorated even more dramatically.) The unemployment rate hit 10.1% in October 2009 and stands at 9.5% today.
Republican leaders such as Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia say that proves the stimulus a failure. But Romer last month told the Joint Economic Committee that the stimulus "helped to turn the economy from free fall to recovery."
It's no surprise that the administration would proclaim its own policies a success. But its verdict is backed by economists at Goldman Sachs, IHS Global Insight, JPMorgan Chase and Macroeconomic Advisers, who say the stimulus boosted gross domestic product by 2.1% to 2.7%.
It's impossible to determine precisely how many jobs or how much growth the stimulus program caused. In a nearly $14 trillion economy, economists can't go employer to employer counting new hires. And there are too many moving parts to confidently link any single factor with individual hiring decisions. Roughly one-third of the stimulus, for example, came in the form of tax cuts, which are designed to boost demand for a wide array of products and eventually result in related hiring.
But to estimate the answers to such questions, economists rely on models based on historical relationships between various policies and real-world results. Earlier this month, Zandi and co-author Alan Blinder, former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve, released the most detailed assessment of the government's efforts to combat the so-called Great Recession. Neither economist is regarded as a partisan firebrand. Zandi, for example, backed John McCain in the 2008 presidential campaign and has advised members of both parties.
Their conclusion: The fiscal stimulus created 2.7 million jobs and added $460 billion to gross domestic product. Unemployment would be 11% today if the stimulus hadn't been passed and 16.5% if neither the fiscal stimulus nor the banks' rescue had been enacted, according to Zandi and Blinder. "It's pretty hard to deny that it had a measurable impact," Zandi said.
As of Aug. 13, almost 64% of the program's original $787 billion had been spent. (The Congressional Budget Office, which is among those concluding that the program had a broadly positive economic result, currently projects the Recovery Act's total cost to be $814 billion. Including an earlier Bush administration tax rebate and some unrelated programs, total stimulus spending will reach about $1 trillion over several years.)
Stimulus outlays first topped $100 billion in the third quarter of 2009, which is when the economy resumed growing after the recession that started in 2007. Likewise, personal consumption spending began to increase in the third quarter after four consecutive quarterly declines. To Zandi, those facts buttress his model's conclusion that the program resuscitated a moribund economy.
Not everyone is convinced. "I can't find in my analysis that the 2009 stimulus package had much effect at all," says economist John Taylor of Stanford University.
Taylor, who served as undersecretary of the Treasury under former president George W. Bush, says the recovery that began last year stemmed from a pickup in business investment unrelated to government spending. He dismissed the Zandi-Blinder conclusions as divorced from what is actually occurring in the economy and reflecting built-in assumptions about the impact of government spending.
At issue is the so-called multiplier effect of government spending. Economists such as Taylor who are skeptical of government's pump-priming role argue that for every additional $1 of government spending, GDP increases by less than $1. Those whose models back the stimulus generally assume that $1 in government spending adds more than $1 to total output via the multiplier effect. "If you crank up government spending, it will create jobs," says Sung Won Sohn, an economist at California State University.
The actual multiplier changes depending upon the condition of the economy. Over the course of the business cycle, the average multiplier is less than 1, Zandi acknowledged. If unemployment is low and the government borrows money for stimulus projects - thus crowding out some private companies seeking to borrow money - the net result can be muted. But with unemployment high and the government able to borrow money for 10 years at historically low 2.5% rates, Uncle Sam's borrowing doesn't come at the expense of the private sector and the stimulus is a bigger net positive, he says.
"Ultimately, people have to use their judgment here," says Taylor. "There's a difficulty of knowing what would have happened otherwise."
Facing congressional elections in less than 90 days, administration officials say they know what would have happened: The ailing economy would be in worse shape if not for the stimulus. But even some of those directly benefiting from the stimulus remain dissatisfied amid the economy's myriad woes.
When the president conducted an Aug. 18 town hall meeting in Columbus, Ohio, one questioner said he worked for a company that the stimulus funds were helping.
"It's keeping me and my crews afloat for a while. But what we really need is a stronger housing market here in Columbus. We need to be building new roads and making houses affordable for people. They need to get out there buying. They need to be able to get the loans. And what's up with that?" the unidentified man asked, according to a White House transcript.
Lack of appetite
The economy expanded for four consecutive quarters after the stimulus spending accelerated. But in recent weeks, in the aftermath of the European debt crisis, what once had seemed like steady if modest growth has noticeably weakened. In the week ended Aug. 14, new jobless claims breached the 500,000 barrier for the first time since November. They fell the following week to 473,000, but the four-week moving average remains at the highest level in nine months. Meanwhile, sales of existing homes in July fell 27% from the previous month, reaching their lowest level in 15 years, and durable goods orders disappointed.
"The recovery in the U.S. appears to have come to a complete halt," says John Higgins of Capital Economics.
Among investors, fears of a second recession or "double dip" are rising as stimulus spending gradually tapers off. Some analysts such as David Rosenberg of Gluskin Sheff in Toronto say that the first downturn, which began in December 2007, never really ended. "This is a depression, and not just some garden-variety recession," he wrote clients.
The administration has proposed some modest additional spending measures, such as a plan to aid small business that is stalled in Congress. With about one-third of the original stimulus money yet to be spent, and rising political angst over the public debt, there are no plans for a major new initiative. If the economy requires any additional impetus, it will likely come from the Federal Reserve, where Chairman Ben Bernanke has signaled a willingness to expand unconventional efforts to increase the money supply.
Small-scale efforts to support demand are warranted, Zandi says. But as the economy struggles to work off the excess debt clogging household and bank balance sheets, time may be the most important salve. "Policymakers should remain aggressive," he said. "But I don't think there's any political appetite for a big stimulus plan."

Everything that I wish I could be is an exploration of language, emotions and the desire to change and improve one's self. There is a self-help book for almost every moment and problem in life; from relationship advice to dealing with the inevitability of death. Each large format photograph, pictures an arrangement of title pages and spines, from up to 100 self-help books that are based around a central theme. Together, the titles create larger narratives, which become portraits of emotions, people and events in life.
Because of the ubiquity of the books, an entire lifetime of events can be outlined and made to unfold using the books that were written to sooth those transitions and moments. Since advice often differs, the narratives in the images can change depending on which direction the viewer's eye moves through the image. Some images have linear narratives (e.g.: From Birth to Death or Side by Side) while others look at patterns in language and resemble the random connections inherent in the thought process (e.g.: You and Me and Am I the only one?).
I am interested in the larger questions of how we communicate and deal with moments of pain and change and the commonalities of those experiences, as well as, the patterns and contradictions that are often inherent in language, advice and differing philosophies.

The CCRI Lady Knights' volleyball team traveled to concord, NH to play the Lynx of New Hampshire Technical Institute. The Lady Knights defeated the Lynx in three straight sets 25-17, 25-16 and 25-16. With the victory the Lady Knights improve to 2-0 on the season.
Set one: CCRI- 25 NHTI- 17
The first set one started off slowly as the Lady Knights had a long ride and they had to just jump in on the court. The Lady Knights pushed themselves to not be beaten as they battled neck-and-neck with each other through the first set. Head Coach Sam Amaral called a time out and told the girls "When you are tired that is when you have to go back to the basics". The girls knew what they had to change about this set. They had to start playing on their type of volleyball. Coach Amaral saw the girls start calling the ball more, beating the ball, and serves becoming more aggressive. Chelsea O'Connor (Pawtucket, RI) is the type of player who will practice new things at practice and be the first to really use it during a game. She may be short but she is mighty in the front row. O'Connor finished the set with four kills. Janny Cabrera (Providence, RI) did very well in the front row, leading the team with six kills and three digs. Lindsey Proulx (Cranston, RI) did a great job at the serves line not missing one serve and getting one ace, Proulx also had a kill and five digs. and helped the lady knights gain this first win. Rounding out the top performers in set one was Delyn Pizzaro (Homestead, FL) finished game one with three kills.
Set two: CCRI-25 NHTI- 16
The Lady Knights were now warmed up and ready to go. CCRI knew what they had to do, NHTI was not just going to hand them the win. They had to minimize their own errors, and become much more aggressive; but above all start playing like a team. Again both teams were neck-and-neck for a good part of the set. Coach Amaral called a time out and made some substitutions to better prepare for NHTI offense. The Lady Knights defended their side of the court very well. Amaral commented "I didn't see a ball drop without a body hitting the floor after it." Lindsey Proulx did an amazing job the entire game but really started to shine with her serves and defense game two and three. We were struggling to pick up the tips in the first set. Lindsey took it upon herself to be responsible for any tips. She did a great job, it is really good to see a young player with not much experience play at a high level and not just be a part of the team but an asset to the team. Janny Cabrera was a force in the front row and back row, finishing set two with 10 kills, hitting at .83% and six digs. Alyssa Salinas (Corpus Christi, TX) led the team in assists with 15 while adding two kills. Jincy Phann (Cranston, RI) game two did a great job in defense and being loud calling out everything for the team. Haley finished set two with seven digs and an ace. Haley Greenwood's (Goldsboro, NC) serves kept NHTI out of their system allowing CCRI to gain the win.
Set three: CCRI- 25 NHTI- 16
The Lady Knights did a much better job at starting the game off with force. They came on the court and started the game off with an ace and kill. However NHTI fought their way back to tie up the score. Coach Amaral called a time out and spoke to the girls about playing as a team and calling everything. She also told the team they needed to have some fight and reminded them that NHTI wants this win as much as they do. Janny Cabrera and Alyssa Salinas took over the game. Janny finished the game with three kills, nine digs, and three aces. Alyssa finished the game with nine assist, four kills while hitting 50%. Chelsea O'Connor helped the Lady Knights close in on the win with two aces and four digs. Omayra Corchado (Isabela, Puerto Rico) also contributed by finishing the set with two kills and two digs.
After the match Head Coach Sam Amaral commented: "I was happy to gain the win, but I think the time I was the proudest was seeing the girls use what they had learned in practice all week in the game. This team is eager to learn always and always wanting to get better. On the way home the girls spoke about what they saw they did wrong and what they wanted to do at practice the next day. I always have said it you can't coach passion, heart or commitment. This team in the beginning struggles with the passion but now have an abundance of passion, heart, and commitment to the CCRI lady knights. I am very proud of my girls and I can see good things happening for the Lady Knights in the near future."
The next matches for CCRI will be the CCRI classic which they will host this Saturday and Sunday beginning each day at 9:00am. The Lady Knights will host five very strong and talented teams including: Genesee CC from Batavia, NY, Fashion Institute From New York, NY, New Hampshire Tech from Concord, NH, Holyoke CC from Holyoke, MA and Nassau Community College from Garden City, NY.
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls nearly 18,000 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.

(sorry the pic isn't so great, I rushed because I really want to try this, its been over 2 years since I had one)
We don't eat fast food much. If we do, we either go to Subway so Bryan can get a sandwich and I get a salad or we go to Wendy's because they fry their french fries in a separate fryer and I can get a bun-less cheeseburger and Bryan can get his favorite spicy chicken sandwich. That sandwich used to be my favorite also before I found I had Celiac Disease. Every time he gets one I ask "can I just smell it" – you laugh but I seriously do this quite often with some of his "regular" food.
Lately I've been on a kick of making things at home instead of going out and buying them. For example in my last post I shared recipes from homemade beef jerky and granola bars. I can't go out and get a Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich but I sure as heck can make it at home. Making things at home also lets you control the ingredients you use. Not saying that this sandwich is super healthy by any means, don't get me wrong. I mentioned to Bryan the other day that I could try to recreate that sandwich for him, but would have to do it gluten-free so I can enjoy it too…he said sure. So I looked online for some ideas of what is actually in the sandwich and then went to work on creating a recipe for it. I have to say it came out pretty darn awesome! We both really liked it. I served mine between two pieces of romaine lettuce and Bryan had his on a "regular" bun. The spicy flavor in mine was much more pronounced without having all that bread in the way.
Gluten-Free Spicy Chicken Sandwich (Wendy's)
1/4 Cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce
1/2 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Gluten-Free Bisquick
1 1/2 Teaspoons Sea Salt
2 Teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
1/8 Teaspoon Fine Ground Pepper
1/4 Teaspoon Paprika
1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
2 Chicken Breasts – pounded until about 3/8 inch thick
4 Pieces of Romain Lettuce
1/4 Teaspoon Mayonnaise (optional)
2 Tomato Slices (optional)
Mix together the Gluten-Free Bisquick, Salt, Cayenne Pepper, Pepper, Paprika and Garlic Powder in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl mix together Frank's Red Hot Sauce and water.
In a large high-sided sauté pan heat 1/2 cup – 1 cup of canola oil (should come up about 1/2 inch the side of the pan depending on the size of your pan) on medium heat. You could also use a deep fryer but I didn't want to deal with all of that.
Take one chicken breast at a time and dredge it in the GF Bisquick mixture, then coat it in the hot sauce/water mixture and then again in the Bisquick mixture.
Cook chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and no longer pink in the center (I cut mine just to make sure).
Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Serve on lettuce or a bun and top with mayonnaise (optional), tomato (optional) and an additional piece of lettuce. Enjoy!!
The Bisquick worked perfect for this recipe. It was nice and crunchy and the chicken was juicy, and just the right amount of spice. Oh how I have missed this sandwich, but now I can make it at home!

A Natural Process
While every woman is different, the beginning of menopause commonly occurs between the ages of 42 and 55. In the five to ten years prior to menopause, the ovaries become less sensitive to hormonal signals which stimulate estrogen and progesterone. And although there are still about 10,000 immature follicles left in the ovaries, they fail to mature. Because the ovaries do not produce consistent amounts of hormones, the menstrual cycle becomes irregular. Eventually, the ovaries stop producing enough of the estrogen hormone, periods cease, and menopause arrives.
The Transition of a Lifetime
For a woman, menopause is perhaps the most crucial transition she will experience in her life. Approximately 1.3 million women reach menopause each year, and that number will double by the year 2010, when 60 million women will be close to, or complete with, the transition of menopause (1). Although most women will experience some symptoms, they may be quite varied. Between 50% and 80% of women experience hot flashes, lasting two to three minutes, during the first several years of menopause. Women may also notice increasing fatigue, nervousness, insomnia, palpitation and emotional stress. Some sources include depression, although thankfully no studies objectively support that menopausal women suffer from it any more than the rest of society. Research indicates that women (as well as men) are more likely to experience depression in their twenties and thirties than in mid-life (2).
Estrogen Therapy--Is It For You?
About 95% of women in the Western nations spend approximately one-third of their lives in a state of estrogen deficiency. It is estimated that today as many as 30% of these women seek out some kind of estrogen replacement therapy (ERT). ERT has been used to alleviate hot flashes, night sweats, depression and anxiety. It is also recommended for prevention of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis in menopausal and post-menopausal women. In the United States, estrogen is commonly taken in doses ranging from .3 milligrams to 1.25 milligrams for the first 25 days of the month. Oftentimes, progestin is added for days 16-25 in doses of 2.5-10 milligrams. Some women have opted for the skin patch, which is applied once each week. Many women with symptoms who are also interested in taking the least amount of estrogen possible, have opted to take their estrogen every other day.
As most women know, choosing estrogen replacement therapy is not an easy decision, even if it does alleviate some menopausal symptoms. Results from several studies indicate that ERT provides some health benefits for women who have entered menopause. It reduces risk of death from coronary disease by 40% and risk of hip fracture by as much as 60%. However, the same studies show that this therapy also increases the risk of cancer in the uterus and the breast (3).

A blistering first 20 minutes in Stockholm were enough for Argentina to continue their winning form, as they downed Sweden 3-2 at the Friends Arena.
Gonzalo Higuain opened the scoring early on, but that was cancelled out by Jonas Olsson's header. The equaliser only served to spur on the visitors though, as Sergio Aguero struck twice to make it 3-1, before Rasmus Elm struck a stunning late consolation.
Argentina were celebrating almost instantly as they took an early lead. Barely two minutes were on the clock when Angel Di Maria burst forward and caught the home side off guard. The Real Madrid man laid the ball off to Higuain, and the striker's powerful effort took a deflection on its way into the net to hand the Albiceleste the lead.
The South Americans looked supremely comfortable, dominating possession and pressing well to retrieve on the few occasions the ball went astray, reducing Zlatan Ibrahimovic to a mere spectator in the first half. However, defensive lapses were to rear their head and allow Sweden a way back into the game. One of their first attacks saw a looping corner to the far post find an unmarked Jonas Olsson, who made excellent contact and powered his header past the diving Sergio Romero.
That goal failed to halt Argentina's dominance, however. Di Maria was at his brilliant best again when he ran at the Sweden defence and found Sergio Aguero, who delicately chipped over Andres Isaksson with his left boot to restore the advantage.
Lionel Messi had been playing deeper than usual in the attacking trident, but in one of his first approaches on goal the four-time Ballon d'Or winner launched a stinging shot from outside the box. Isaksson parried, only to despair as the ball fell into the path of Higuain for the easiest of finishes.
Di Maria and Aguero both had chances to add to their tally, while Sweden tried to hit back through Alexander Kacaniklic, who forced a decent save from Romero. It was Argentina, however, who went into half-time on top and in electrifying form.
Sweden as promised had withdrawn Zlatan Ibrahimovic after the first 45 minutes, and continued to play second fiddle to an Albiceleste side that dictated the rhythm of Wednesday's friendly.
Messi & Co. remained on top throughout the second half, but in a game that became progressively more disjointed as both sides made full use of their substitutes, with goalmouth action increasingly sporadic.
There would however be one late cheer for Sweden; Rasmus Elm slamming home a brilliant free kick to give Sweden their second of the evening.
The Albiceleste maintain their unbeaten run established throughout 2012, and will next host Venezuela in March in their first official match of the year. Sweden, meanwhile, will face Republic of Ireland before travelling to Slovakia.

Highlights Pope's Special Friendship with the Jewish People
Visit our Media page for Media Kit and Images
Cleveland, OH (April 19, 2012) – Opening May 18, 2012 at the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage, A Blessing to One Another: Pope John Paul II and the Jewish People is an interactive experience that allows visitors to follow in John Paul II's footsteps from his childhood to his role as head of the world's largest church. The Museum hopes the exhibition will inspire visitors to live out the pope's request for interfaith understanding.
Pope John Paul II travelled extensively and met with believers from many divergent faiths. During his pontificate, he greatly improved Catholic and Jewish relations. In 1979, he became the first pope to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland, where many of his countrymen had perished during World War II. When he visited the Great Synagogue of Rome in 1986, he became the first pope to have made an official papal visit to a synagogue. His most historic moment came in 2000 when, after visiting the national Holocaust memorial in Israel, he touched the Western Wall in Jerusalem, placing a letter inside it in which he prayed for forgiveness for the actions against Jews. (Prayer available on request)
The 1,500 square-foot exhibition takes its name from the pope's commemoration in 1993 of the 50th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. The exhibition will feature photos, personal artifacts and videos documenting the pope's history with the Jewish people.
Visitors will have the opportunity to walk through rooms representing various stages of the pope's life, including one from his childhood. There will also be an interactive area where visitors can write prayers that will be taken to the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
The exhibition's photographs and artifacts are on loan from museums in the United States, Poland, Italy, and Israel. Some of the works include:
- Reproductions of the Pope's baptismal certificate and high school and college transcripts, on loan from the City of Wadowice Museum.
- An official license plate, bearing the swastika symbol, from one of five Nazi-owned vehicles used in Wadowice, on loan from the City of Wadowice Museum.
- Shoes worn by Jewish prisoners at Auschwitz and a can used for Zyklon-B, the chemical used by Nazis to kill Jews in gas chambers. These items have been loaned by the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Poland.
- The biretta (red skull cap) the future pope received when named a Cardinal in 1967 and vestments he wore at an inter-religious prayer service in Assisi, loaned by the John Paul II Cultural Center in Washington, DC.
A Blessing to One Another will be on display through Sunday, August 5, 2012.

Discipline Is Worth the Effort
Part of the Effective Child Discipline Series
Series About:
Discipline, as Hebrews says, is painful for a moment, but it eventually yields fruit. And though few people enjoy the inconvenience and pain of discipline, they look back on the hardship and almost always decide that the fruit was worth the effort.
It's worth the grief your daughter gives you when you have to tell her that she's too young to date or that she's getting into a relationship that's not good for her. It's worth the groans from your kids when you won't let them watch a movie that everyone else at school got to see, even the Christian kids whose parents weren't quite so uptight about it. It's worth their complaints when you have to limit the amount of time your kids spend on the phone or on the Internet. Knowing how to say no firmly may make them hate you for a moment, but it will make them love you for a lifetime. And you'll have the pleasure of seeing your children experience the peaceful fruit of righteousness.
Stop worrying about being your child's buddy. You are the only one in the world with the primary responsibility of giving your child what he needs, not what he wants. Sometimes that means you have to lay down the law. Afterward you may have to go close yourself up in the bedroom and, with tears in your eyes, tell your spouse how bad you feel for being so hard on your kids. You'll probably need to check yourself occasionally to make sure you're not over the top with your discipline, letting your mate reel you back in if you're getting out of balance. But one way or another, you'll need to enforce the values and biblical principles that God has spelled out in His Word and laid on your heart. You'll need to be firmly convinced that you're preparing your child for a lifetime of fruitfulness. You may not be popular for a moment, but you'll rest easy at night knowing that you're saving your child from a life of destructive habits.
One of the saddest stories in the Bible is of a permissive parent. Eli the priest loved his two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, and rebuked them only mildly for their indiscretions. He was well aware that they stole people's offerings to the Lord to fill their own stomachs and seduced the young women who came to worship in Shiloh. Still, he only told them to stop; he never actually enforced any kind of discipline on them.
If you've read the first few chapters of 1 Samuel, you know the result. God swore to cut off Eli's family forever. On one horrible day, the Israelites were defeated in battle, the Philistines captured the Ark of God, and Hophni and Phinehas were killed. When Eli heard the news, he fell off his chair, broke his neck, and died. It was one of Israel's most devastating moments, all because an old priest wouldn't discipline his sons.
I've always found this story extremely sobering. As much as I want my kids to like me, and as much as I hate conflict in our home, this story rattles me and gives me the backbone to do what's right rather than what's convenient. I'm sure Eli loved his sons; that wasn't the issue. The problem was that his love never translated into discipline and his sons never learned obedience — first not to their father, and therefore not to God. The consequences were tragic. Eli's permissiveness not only destroyed a family, it wounded a nation.
Parenting Myth: Your kids will feel most secure if they know you're their buddy.
Parenting Reality: Your kids will feel most secure if they know you have set appropriate boundaries for them that you aren't afraid to enforce.
You have higher ambitions for your children, don't you? You want them to grow up bearing the fruit of righteousness, which always leads to lasting joy. That's why it's absolutely imperative to learn how to say no. Be willing to let your children get mad at you from time to time. Keep your eyes on their ultimate welfare instead of on their momentary comfort. Effective parenting always requires effective discipline.
You probably struggle with what that discipline should look like. I certainly did. How do you know when it's too harsh, or when it's not harsh enough? How do you know when you're disciplining a child for his own welfare and when you're punishing him out of your own frustration? The difference between discipline and punishment may seem subtle in your own experience, but from God's perspective, it's a monumental distinction. As we get into the nuts and bolts of discipline in the next chapter, you'll see how His perspective can answer those questions.
Putting It into Practice
Ask your spouse and/or a good friend — people who can be completely honest with you — to examine Reuben Hill's analysis of the four styles of parenting (see the overview article, "Effective Child Discipline"). Then ask them to describe where you fit on the grid and to give some examples that support their opinion. (For some of us, it may be hard not to get defensive, but try to listen with an open mind.) Does your perception of your parenting line up with what your spouse/friends have told you? If you believe change in your parenting style is needed, how might you adjust your style to best suit the emotional needs of your children?

Jeep always builds a few cool concept vehicles to bring to the annual Easter Jeep Safari held in Moab, Utah. The concepts range from pie-in-the-sky ideas that have no chance of production to virtual test vehicles for new parts and accessories that will be available at your local Jeep dealer in the coming months. As the Easter Jeep Safari brings Jeep's most loyal customers together for a week of off-road adventures on some of the best trails in the country, it gives Jeep an excellent venue to solicit feedback on new ideas.
This year's biggest announcement is the creation of an off-road division of Mopar, Chrysler's in-house tuning division. With more than 1,000 Mopar accessories and performance parts for Jeep vehicles already on sale, we can hardly imagine how awesome the parts catalogue will be once there's an entire division focused on off-road goodies. Mopar is celebrating its 75th anniversary, and in the words of Pietro Gorlier, president and CEO of the division, the goal is "tapping into a growing trend among extreme Jeep enthusiasts who want even more power and capability on the trail." The first products the new division will offer are Pro 60 portal axles and a Hemi conversion kit for the Wrangler. These products will be called Jeep Authentic Parts and Accessories and they offer owners a way to customize their Jeeps with the peace of mind that comes from OEM parts.
Jeep Mighty FC Concept
Since the Mighty FC is the most outrageous concept heading to Moab, we'll start here. The FC began life as a 2012 Wrangler Rubicon that was lengthened. The roof from a JK-8 conversion kit is about the only recognizable part, with pretty much everything else being custom-made for this concept.
Jeep used to sell Forward Control vehicles from 1956 to 1965. They were as functional as they were cool to look at. The FC layout allows for a full-size cargo box without making the vehicle too big to maneuver in tight quarters. Sure, the drive becomes the crumple zone in this layout, but the obvious solution is to run a set of portal axles that allows the driver to sit several feet off the ground. Now you can just run over the Miata in front of you instead of rear-ending it.
Portal axles are essentially a planetary gearset added to the ends of a solid axle. The off-road community has been forced to fabricate its own portal axles for years by adding a Hummer hub/planetary gearset to the ends of a solid axle. Now Mopar will offer brand new purpose-built portal axles for a mere $11,000, or $12,500 with steering. Why bother with these expensive axles? They allow enormous ground clearance without a suspension lift, which should improve ride quality. The Mighty FC rides on a set of King coilovers.
Other cool touches on the FC include a 16,500 pound Warn winch on the front bumper, a bottle opener mounted on the bed just behind the cab, a full-size spare tire mounted inside the bed, and two-piece 17-inch beadlock wheels that keep the 39-inch BFG Krawler T/A tires under the truck. Our only suggestion is to offer an integrated ladder to help the driver get up to the cab.
Jeep J-12 Concept
Although the Mighty FC grabs your attention instantly, the J-12 will hold your attention longer because it actually makes sense as a production vehicle. During the build, this truck became known as the "OMT," short for Old Man Truck. That's a fitting name given the regular cab, long-bed configuration of this concept. The J-12 recalls the Jeep Gladiator pickups built from 1962-1971 and features the iconic "rhino" grille. Gladiator pickups were based on the Wagoneer platform, so they were full-size trucks. A Gladiator concept debuted in 2004, but it was more complicated than the J-12 we saw today. The J-12 is as basic as the original Gladiator, which only offered a regular cab.
The J-12 rides on a Dynatrack Dana 44 front axle and Dynatrack Dana 60 rear axle and both differentials are equipped with ARB air lockers. A mild 3-inch Mopar suspension lift kit gives clearance for the 36-inch tires, which look relatively modest next to the FC's 39-inch rubber. The 16-inch steel wheels really compliment the other throwback touches on the truck. Our favorite detail is the vintage tread pattern on the narrow tires. The only way to make these tires more authentic would be to convert them to bias-ply.
A Wrangler Unlimited with JK-8 conversion kit was stretched 18″ to make the J-12, which allows for a 6′ cargo bed and a full-size spare mounted under the bed. Inside the cab, there's a split bench seat and a few simple details like a fishing pole rack on the rear window and compass on the shifter. This truck is equipped almost exactly the way your Grandfather would have outfitted his Gladiator for hunting and fishing — functional, not flashy.
2012 Jeep Wrangler Apache from Mopar
Most of the items you see on the Apache are available through Mopar right now, or will be very soon. The real purpose of the Apache is to showcase Mopar's Hemi V-8 conversion kit for the Wrangler. Yes, AEV has offered a Hemi conversion for several years now, but this is the first kit fully backed by Chrysler. Mopar went with the 6.4-liter Hemi, so this Wrangler is packing 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, more than enough to tackle the terrain in Moab. The kit will be available this summer for five-speed automatic transmissions and later on for six-speed manual Wranglers.
The stock Wrangler axles weren't designed for the power of a 6.4-liter Hemi and big tires, so Mopar is also showing off its Mopar Pro 60 axles with 5.13 gearing on the Apache. That gearing, along with a 4.5-inch Stage 3 long arm lift and high-clearance flat fenders, allows the Apache to run 39-inch BFG Krawler tires, just like the Mighty FC concept. A seriously beefy rear bumper/tire carrier allows the Apache to carry a full-size spare tire without ripping off the tailgate.
Mopar also fitted a twin-stick Atlas transfer case to the Apache. Twin-stick transfer cases allow the driver to select high and low range independently for each axle. Why would you want to choose a different range for each axle? You don't. But this allows for front-wheel drive in low range with the rear axle in neutral, which can help drivers make very tight turns off-road. This is the sort of detail hardcore Jeep owners will love at Moab.
2012 Jeep Wrangler Traildozer Concept
Jeep partnered with American Expedition Vehicles to put together the Traildozer concept. While the Traildozer isn't the most radical vehicle Jeep is bringing to Moab, it is a good representation of the reason Jeep brings concepts to Moab each year. The "Dozer" paint on the vehicle is a new production paint color for Wranglers that was first seen on a Moab-bound concept a few years ago. The Dozer name came from the event.
The Traildozer is powered by a 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 that sends power to all four wheels through a Getrag 238 six-speed manual transmission. Rubicon Dana 44 axles with their stock lockers and 4.10 gearing are used front and rear. An AEV Dualsport RS 3.5-inch suspension lift provides the required clearance for the beefy 37-inch Mickey Thompson Baja Claw tires that cover the Mopar Classic five-spoke wheels. Mopar premium front and rear bumpers and rear corner guards provide protection for the body on tight trails. Mopar's heat reduction hood ensures the massive engine doesn't overheat in the desert while Mopar half-doors allow the driver to get a better view of obstacles. A Mopar-branded Warn 9.5 Cti winch can help free the Traildozer should it becomes trapped between a rock and a hard place. An AEV F-1 leather seat trim kit gives the interior a unique appearance.
Mopar Accessorized 2012 Jeep Wrangler
This isn't the best-named vehicle Jeep is bringing to Moab. One executive dubbed it the "Ultimate Daily Driver," which explains the mission of this vehicle quite succinctly. For those who wish to commute and play in the same vehicle, Mopar bolted on a modest two-inch lift kit, 35-inch Goodyear tires, tasteful front and rear bumpers, a Warn 9.5 ti XP winch, LED lamps mounted on the windshield, and Mopar rock rails. A pair of Mopar Dana 44 axles with electric lockers gives the Ultimate Daily Driver some extra capability on the trail without sacrificing drivability on the street.
Interior modifications are minimal with Kicker 6.5-inch two-way speakers, Mopar all-weather floormats, locking center console, rear cargo cubby cover, "Add-a-trunk" secure storage for the cargo area, and hardtop headliner. Anyone who has commuted in a Wrangler alfresco will immediately appreciate the locking storage. If your daily driver also needs to tackle trails on the weekends, equipping it like this Wrangler makes a lot of sense.
Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Concept
Jeep understandably puts the most effort into Wrangler-based concepts for the Easter Jeep Safari, but there are a lot of loyal Grand Cherokee owners out there, too. The Trailhawk is based on a Grand Cherokee equipped with Quadra-Drive II four-wheel-drive, air suspension, Selec-Terrain traction control, Off-Road Adventure package, and rear electronic limited slip differential. Extras include 18-inch Mineral Gray alloy wheels with Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmor tires that optimize off-road durability and traction without the incessant hum at highway speed that typically comes with more aggressive tires. Mopar rock rails protect the rocker panels when the Trailhawk leaves pavement.
Visual changes to the Trailhawk include a Stone White, Mineral Gray, and red color palette. Mineral Gray finish on the grille surround, lower front fascia, mirror caps, and rear light bar match the five-spoke wheels. Red accents on the upper grille mesh, tow hooks, Jeep logos, wheel center caps, and outline around the matte black hood applique compliment the white and gray color scheme.
Jeep officials told us to look for the Trailhawk touches making it to production as soon as late this year. The anti-chrome, pro-trail attitude of the Trailhawk is a nice departure from the sort of urban appearance packages that seem to be proliferating across 4×4 vehicles lately.

Top 10 fun facts about visiting Huka Falls
Find out all about the spellbinding Huka Falls in the Central North Island.
1 / 2
1. The Huka Falls are rated as one of the most visited attractions in New Zealand – and for good reason. Thundering turquoise rapids plunge through a narrow rocky canyon, creating a breathtaking scenic display.
2. The Falls are located just north of Taupo (about 5-10 minutes' drive), making them a perfect stopping point on your way into town – or a great day trip if you're already there.
3. Water flows over the falls at a rate of 220,000 litres per second. At this rate it would take just 11 seconds to fill an entire Olympic sized swimming pool!
4. At the top of Huka falls a series of small waterfalls drop around 8 metres, before the main event: an 11-metre drop that's sure to impress.
5. The big squeeze: The Waikato River is about 100 metres wide then pours into a narrow canyon 15 metres across. That's what creates the pressure that makes Huka Falls such a spectacular display.
6. The flow of the falls is now regulated by control gates to provide hydroelectric power – a truly awe-inspiring example of how nature's raw power can be harnessed to provide clean green energy.
7. Jet boat and cruise boat tours to the base of the falls provide an even closer look. You can experience a Hukafalls Jet tour on a day tour from Auckland, Hamilton, Taupo or Rotorua.
8. You can enjoy the view of Huka Falls from walking tracks and viewing platforms along the river. There's even a swing bridge that was originally built during Maori land wars in 1800s if you're feeling brave!
9. If you're after a little luxury with your view, nearby Huka Lodge is one of the world's top boutique hotels. You might even spot a celebrity enjoying its comforts!
10. There's another unique attraction just along the river – the Huka Prawn Park is a great place for families with a whole host of activities on offer, from prawn fishing to geothermal foot baths and golf challenges.
