In this post I would like to deal with tracing the early sources for the minhag of eating milchigs on Shavuos. A version of this article was printed last year in the Ami Magazine (# 119). This post contains a few corrections and additions to that version. A much more expanded version of this article will appear in Hebrew shortly (IY"H).
Eating the vast array of customary dairy delicacies on Shavuos including, of course, cheesecake, is a minhag that very few people find very difficult. But what is the source of this minhag?
This minhag goes back at least to the times of the Rishonim, and varied explanations for it also do. [1]
That the minhag of milchigs on Shavuos was observed widely in recent history is very clear. For example, in an informative nineteenth-century Lithuanian memoir, the author describes the milk-based Yom Tov atmosphere:
"And at home there was again roasting and baking namely, many butter cakes! On this Holiday you especially ate all milk and butter dishes. The traditional cheese blintzes with sour cream, a kind of flinsed, were essential… On the second day of Shavuos… a happy mood prevailed; we drank fine aromatic coffee and ate butter cakes and blintshikes."[2]
In Yeshivas Volozhin, after staying up the whole night, the whole yeshiva would take part in a milchig kiddush at the Netziv's house.[3] We find the same thing in the Lomza Yeshiva; they had a kiddush after davening with cheesecakes and the like.[4]
The question is, where did this minhag of eating milchigs on Shavuos come from? The Rambam, Tur, and Shulchan Aruch do not make any mention of it.
In this article, I will trace some of the earliest known sources that we have for this minhag and discuss some of the reasons that are given. This is not an attempt to cover all aspects of this rich minhag, I hope to return this in the future.[5]
One of the earliest mentions of this minhag can be found in a Pesach drasha from the Rokeach (1165-1240), which was printed from a manuscript for the first time just a few years ago.[6]
Another one of the earliest sources is found in the very interesting work Malmed Hatalmidim from Rav Yaakov Antoli. Rav Antoli was born around 1194 in Provence, in southern France. He married the daughter of Rav Shmuel Ibn Tibon, the famous translator of the Moreh Nevuchim into Hebrew. The Malmed Hatalmidim was only first printed in 1866, with the haskamos of many gedolim, but the manuscript form had been used before that by many Rishonim, most notably the Avudraham.
Rav Antoli writes that the custom is to eat milk and honey on Shavuos. He explains that this is because Torah is compared to milk and honey. Since milk is a very important food, so too, the mitzvos of the Torah are food for the soul, he says.[7]
Another early source for eating milchigs is found in the work Even Bochen from Rav Kalonymos ben Kalonymos (1286-1328)[8], where he describes milchig breads made with honey and formed into the shape of a ladder. (We'll return to the ladder-shaped breads shortly).
Yet another early source can be found in the works of Rav Aharon Hacohen Miluneil (died around 1330) in his early work Kol Bo and in his later work Orchos Chaim. He writes, like the Malmed Hatalmidim, that on Shavuos people have the custom to eat milk and honey because Torah is compared to milk and honey. Women also bake challos with four heads, he says, as a zecher to the lechem hapanim. He says that others dip matzahs left over from Pesach into the spice known as zefrin since it causes happiness.[9]
Rav Avigdor Hatzorfoti (died 1275) brings a remez (hint) from the Torah for the minhag. The passuk about Shavuos says, "Ubyom habikurim bihakriyvchem mincha chadasha lashem beshivuaschem." The beginning letters of the last three words spell out chalav, milk.[10]
This minhag is also found in the following early sefarim: the minhagim of the Maharam Merutenberg (written by a talmid of his)[11], Terumas Hadeshen[12], Maharil[13], Rav Isaac Tirina (born around 1380)[14],Meshivas Nefesh from Rabbi Yochanon Luria (1382)[15], Rama[16], Seder Hayom (printed in 1599)[17], Yosef Ometz (1570-1637)[18], and the Shelah Hakodesh (1570-1635).[19]
Aside from the reasons already mentioned, many additional reasons for this minhag have been given over the years. Recently, close to 150 reasons were collected by Rabbi Moshe Dinin in a small work called Kuntres Matamei Moshe.
Here are a few reasons and some interesting points related to them.
Rav Elyakyim Horowitz says that we eat milchigs because Dovid Hamelech died on Shavuos. The halacha is that when a king dies, all of the Jews have the status of an onen and are not permitted to eat meat.[20] This same reason can also be found in the work of Rabbi Shimon Falk.[21]
Rav Avrohom Hershovitz brings the Mishna at the end of Avos, which says that one of the 48 ways the Torah is acquired is through not indulging oneself. Since meat is considered an indulgence, we eat milk products during the chag of Matan Torah as a reminder that this is the way to acquire Torah.[22]
Rav Mordechai Leib Zaks points out that in the parsha of Bikurim it says that Hashem gave us the land of milk and honey. Therefore he suggests that the custom is to eat milchigs on the Yom Habikkurim to give thanks to Hashem for giving us the land of milk and honey and as a reminder of the mitzvah of bikkurim, which only included the fruits of Eretz Yisrael, the land of milk and honey.[23]
Rabbi Yeshuyah Singer in Zichron B'sefer (printed in 1900) writes an interesting reason which he had heard. The Torah was given on Shabbos. The meat they had prepared before learning the halachos of shechita was assur to eat. It is not permitted to shecht on Shabbos. Therefore Bnei Yisrael had to eat milchigs, as they could not eat the food that they had prepared beforehand.[24]
The Mishna Berurah mentions a similar reason that he heard in the name of "gadol echad." Immediately after Bnei Yisrael accepted the Torah, they were unable to eat anything but milchigs. The reason for that is because the preparation of kosher meat is very involved. A kosher knife and kosher utensils are necessary. Since this takes a long time, they just cooked milchigs.[25] Who is the "gadol echad" mentioned here? Rabbi Nachum Greenwald located this idea in the work Toldos Yitzchak, first printed in 1868. This idea is mentioned in the name of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak from Berditchev. It is interesting that the Chofetz Chaim did not say the name of the person he heard this idea from.[26] A similar idea can be found in the work Geulas Yisroel first printed in 1821.
Rabbi Kapach says that the Jews in Yemen expressed wonder at those who ate just milchigs on Shavuos. They did not like the reason given (as we mentioned before) that the meat slaughtered prior to Matan Torah would be neveilah afterwards, because they argued that only the Erev Rav were unable to shecht before Matan Torah. The rest of the Jews, they claimed, were shechting before Matan Torah, just as we know that the Gemara says that Avraham Avinu kept all the mitzvos of the Torah before they were given.[27] However this statement is not so simple, because even if they were shechting and doing mitzvos before it is heavily debated what that would be considered, since their status as Jews may have changed during Matan Torah. According to many it would follow that after Matan Torah they would need to kasher the utensils and shecht new animals.[28]
Rav Yissachar Teichtal deals with a related issue. He asks that since the Torah was given on Shabbos and they couldn't shecht and their prior shechita was not kosher, how did they fulfill the obligation of eating meat on Shabbos?[29] Rav Teichtal first mentions the answer of the Zichron Basefer quoted above, which is that they didn't eat meat that Shabbos. However, Rav Teichtel disagrees. He has an interesting answer to explain how they did indeed have meat on this Shabbos. Basing himself on various sources, he says that they had meat created through the Sefer Yetzirah. The Gemara relates that there were those who were able to create an animal via the Sefer Yetzirah; Rav Teichtal says that that was done here.[30]
The Toldos Yitzchak, quoted above, from Reb Levi Yitzchak Berditichever, gives another answer. There is a concept in halacha called Hoiel v'ishtrei ishtrei, which means that if something was permitted at one time, it remains muttar. It follows that they were permitted to eat anything they had prepared beforehand and did not have to throw out their dishes. Then he says that even though it was permitted, the Yidden were stringent and didn't eat the meat. Since they were accepting the Torah that day, they wanted to be machmir.
A similar idea is found when Moshe Rabbeinu, as a baby, didn't nurse from a non-Jew even though it was permissible. It appears that this idea is based on a concept found in numerous sources, called chinuch shanei. It means that the first time we do something, we do it in the best way possible, even if other ways are permitted. Moshe Rabbeinu could have been nursed from a non-Jew, but since he was the one who was going to get the Torah, he was kept from doing it. So too, here, the Yidden were machmir by not eating what was entirely permissible.[31]
Speaking of Moshe Rabbeinu, an original reason for this minhag is given by Rabbi Yitzchak Weiss, who says that Moshe Rabbeinu was found by the daughter of Pharaoh on Shavuos. Since they tried to give him milk from a non-Jew and he refused, we eat dairy to remind us of that.[32]
Cheesecake on the clock
Rav Dunner, in a recent article on the topic, lists many gedolim who ate the milchig seudah at night, including the Chazon Ish, Rav Aharon Kotler, Rav Yechezkel Abramsky, and others.[33] It is questionable whether or not there is an obligation to eat meat at night on Yom Tov.[34] In other sources, we see the opposite. There were people who specifically ate milchigs during the day—for example, the Volozhin and Lomza yeshivas, which I mentioned earlier, where there was a kiddush with cheesecake after davening.[35] This is also what the Darchei Teshuvah suggests one should do to avoid many different halachic issues.[36]
There is much discussion in the poskim whether it is permitted to eat milchigs first during the day, and then wait and eat meat. There's also discussion about how long to wait. Some wait an hour before eating meat. Other poskim deal with the question of whether there is an obligation to bentch after the milchig kiddush.[37] For example, the Knesses Hagedolah (1603-1673) writes that he ate milchigs and honey, then he benched, and after he waited an hour, he ate fleishigs.[38]
However it's pretty clear that the Magen Avrohom argues when he writes:
ועבי"ד סי' פ"ט דא"צ להפסיק בב"ה [בברכת המזון] אם אינו אוכל גבינה קשה (סי' תצד:ו).[39]
What's interesting is that certain mekubalim did not eat milk the same day they ate meat products. Rabbi Eliyahu de Vidas, author of the Reishes Chochma (d. 1579), in his work Tosos Chaim writes that one should wait 24 hours(!) after eating meat before eating milk. According to this, it wouldn't be possible to eat milk after meat on Shavuos![40]
The Yosef Ometz quotes the Shelah, who says that he would wait 24 hours after meat to eat milk.[41] But later on (in siman 854), he says that people were lenient about this on Shavuos.
Interestingly enough, the Tzror Hamor even says that one should not eat meat within 24 hours of eating milk, and vice versa.
לפי קבלת קדמונינו בא לאסור בשר בחלב. ואמר לא תבשל. ולא אמר לא תאכל. לרמוז לנו כפי חכמי האמת כי אסור לאכול בשר ואחר כך חלב. וכן אסור לאכול חלב ואחר כך בשר. ואעפ"י שנתנו חכמים שיעורים בזה. כבר כתב רשב"י ז"ל כי כמו שאסור חלב אחר בשר. כך אסור לאכול בשר אחר חלב. ודינם שוה לענין השיעור שהוא עד שיתעכל המזון שבמיעיו. שהם כמו שש שעות שהוא זמן מסעודה לסעודה. כי הבישול האמור כאן על בישול האצטומכא הוא. בענין שלא יתבשלו הבשר והחלב באצטומכא בזמן אחד. ולפי שיש אצטומכא מאחרת העיכול. ליראי ה' ולחושבי שמו אין לאכול גבינה ובשר ביום אחד. וכל שכן בשר וגבינה. וכן נוהגים המדקדקים במצות ואנשי מעשה. והטעם בזה לפי שאין ראוי לערב הכוחות אלו באלו. כח הדין בכח הרחמים. וכח הרחמים בכח הדין. כי הבשר הוא מדת הדין בסוד קץ כל בשר. כי מנפש ועד בשר יכלה הצר. והחלב הוא סוד הרחמים הגמורים המלבינים עונותיהם של ישראל. כאומרו כשלג ילבינו. והחטא הוא אדום בסוד הלעיטני נא מן האדום האדום הזה. ולכן יש להפרידם זה מזה כל אחד על כנו. ואת כל עורב למינו (צרור המור, משפטים, כג:יט).
According to this there would be appear to be no way to eat both milk and meat on Shavuos.
The Toras Chaim is also very concerned with this issue of eating meat after milk; he says not to eat milchigs on Shavuos.[42]
However, other rabbanim were to the other extreme. The Rokeach writes that his great uncle used to eat cheese, then wash his mouth out and immediately eat meat.[43] There is also a talmid of the Terumas Hadeshen who writes in his work Leket Yosher that his rebbi did the same[44].
From honey to milk
It would appear that this minhag of eating milchigs ties in with another minhag of Shavuos and perhaps is derived from there.[45] When the talmid of the Maharam Merutenberg brings among the minhagim of the Maharam the minhag to eat milchigs on Shavuos, he brings it right after he brings another minhag: "Special cakes with pesukim on them are made for children as they begin to learn on Shavuos these are made to help them have an open heart [for learning]."
There are numerous sources in Rishonim (such as Rokeach and Machzor Vitri) that on Shavuos when a boy begins to learn an elaborate ceremony is performed in which they eat from specially prepared cakes and dip their fingers in honey while saying certain pesukim.[46] This is done to help the boy's mind open up and is a special segulah to help him remember what he learns. (Some sources do not mention that this was done on Shavuos; most do.)
This ceremony was done on Shavuos because it is the day we received the Torah. Interestingly, we find sources for a few hundred years in the Rishonim that this minhag continued, at least in German circles. But it appears to have eventually been forgotten. The Shach cites the Rokeach as having mentioned the minhag but says that now it is not done.[47] Rabbi Dovid Ginsburg writes that he only found out about this minhag later on in life and had he known about it earlier he would have definitely done it for his children.[48] Rav Yaakov Emden writes that the reason that in earlier times the children excelled in their Jewish education as opposed to in his times was due to that they stopped doing this ceremony quoted in the Rishonim![48] Recently this minhag has been revived as part of the upsherin ceremony.
Be that as it may, it is possible that this minhag of eating honey and sweets on Shavuos actually led to the minhag of eating of milchigs, because honey has always been associated with milchigs.
As mentioned earlier, some made special milchig breads in the shapes of ladders. In the work Even Bochen from Rav Kalonymos ben Kalonymos we find an explanation, that the gematria of sulam (ladder) is Sinai. The Yosef Ometz and others bring different reasons connecting a ladder and Shavuos. [49]
Professor Daniel Sperber suggested that the reason why the bread is shaped in the form of a ladder is that it ties in to the ceremonies for children who begin learning. To get the children to ask what is going on we make the breads in an interesting shape, similar to our methods of getting them to ask at the Pesach seder.[50]

[42] Toras Chaim, Chullin 83a. However it is worth pointing out that the Toras Chaim in Bava Metzia 86b, says that the reason for eating milchigs on Shavuos is to show the malachim that we are careful about basar b'cholov and that when we eat milk we are careful to do everything halacha says to do before we eat meat.

Stock market finishes flat after wild start
NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market is ending flat after a morning of wild swings.
Traders weighed a weak jobs report for August and tensions between the U.S. and Syria on Friday.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose less than a point, or 0.01 percent, to close at 1,655.17. The Dow Jones industrial average ended down 14 points, or 0.1 percent, at 14,922.50. It was down as much as 148 points shortly after trading began. The Nasdaq composite rose one point, or 0.03 percent, to 3,660.01.
The yield on 10-year Treasury notes fell as investors anticipated that the Federal Reserve would keep up its bond purchases to help the economy. The yield dropped to 2.93 percent from 3 percent late Thursday.
U.S. employers added 169,000 jobs last month, fewer than economists expected.

govern ments are concerned i venture to change the subject which has so long been all absorbing and ask the read ers of the watchman to take into consideration a very few things i have in sav i:i regard to the greatest expo sition the world has ever seen north carolina has just acquitted herself no bly in her state exposition and her people naturally have some interest in expositioi s generally the scheme here in the crescent city is of such colossal proportions that its real mag nitude does not dawn on one's com prehension until about two days hard walking has brought hi wearied ones to the starting point again the main exposition building cov ers as your readers know 33 acres nothing short of a personal cxamina lion will give an adequate idea of its magnificent proportions the pictures lend only a faint conception this vast structure will be filled with for eign exhibits machinery and industri al implements the space was so rapidly taken tip that the manage ment soon discovered thai they would full far short in accommodating those who wished to make displays this fact gave rise to the necessity for erec ting another large exposition hall the second building is known as the government and state's bui hi ing and in it uncle sain the slates and ter ritories will make their displays it is here that north carolina will dis play to the world fourteen car loads of her choicest productions the ex perience gained at atlanta boston and the n c.state exposition will all be concentrated in the endeavor to be first among the states but to con tinue with the list of buildings the next in importance is horticultural hall ; said to be the largest of its class ever erected 1 have only seen it in the distance then we have the art gallery and the machinery extension riiese together with some smaller buildings and seven immense stabbs for racing stock and cattle capable of housing in separate tails 1,000 or 12,000 head will aggregate a grand total ol between oo and 60 acre un iier roof j his is considerable ground to cover and it will require a great deal to fill such an amount of space riiere need be no fear on this score since their are hundred ol car-loads nl freight here now and every few hours add to the number tiic n c cars arrived last thursday and we begin the arduous work of arranging i»ur exhibit at once now let us take a little look at the town jl is needles lo picture what i expected to.see and it will t>e bless rd hard to picture what 1 did see new orleans is something of a french town in that they di-regard the keep ing holy thesabbaih day in thefreuuh quarter which part of town is said to liave quite a parisian air about it never having iva paris i am content to accept the statement there is to me an occasional reminder of a span ish or mexican-spanish town this is particularly noticeable in the won derfully preserved tumble-down one story shanties scattered in various prominent quarters of the place if this feature is not attributable to the mexican-spanish inhabitants steps should be taken to enlighten stran and so avoid mistakes there i.s another distinguishing trait about haraetcr of new orleans it has epiitaliun of being a creole town thai pa.-s for what il is worth but n altogether it is such a town ! ve never seen anything like it i impressions are t nged with dis appointment but the place grows on one as the siirrotiudings become more familiar it is probably the most ex pensive town to live in this side of the great west this may be accounted for when we ivmember that it is a six mou'hs town that is to say that there are really only six or seven mouths oi the year when there is any business done during the summer the place is deserted the large bus iness houses only leave a chief clerk or book-keeper and an uih'ce boy in charge while the other clerks are dis charged and the bosses with families hie away to cooler climes so is it with every clr.ss that can afford to change hie result is that when the bu.-y season comes there i.s not only a ict urn of citizens but an influx of health and pleasure seekers from the colder sections of america the cli mate here t this season is delightful the atmosphere is soft and agreeable mid is frequently wafted to and fro by gc.it le incizes ladeiicd with the per fume of flowers 1 will add just here that there are many beautiful lawns to be seen studded with orange trees which arc just now at their best — the golden fruit hangs in tempting prolu ' sion this reminds me that some i tilings are cheap — fruit forjjstance — ; though even this luxury haj its draw backs there is no moneyjn circula tion here of less denominrtion than five cents as a consequent you must " buy five cents worth or ab-;ain for i that amount you can buy ajdozen b

The new promo posted just gave it away:Bopper probably doesn't even make it in the TAR intro They legit showed almost all possible Team shots in the intro except for Mopper which looks like it was shot at the Meet the Cast set
A cowboys related quote for Leg 1 Not meaning to be rude, but that's how I feel.
#bump #unexpectedrevival #frustrationI am seriously starting to think Americans are stupid....... I mean, I can totally understand why someone would hate on Rachel or disliked the (annoying) twinnies, but how can they be bitching about Mallory in the last episode all over facebook? Like, SERIOUSLY?! I get that Mallory was responsible for the lost bag, but where did she whine and bitch about it? (Yes, lots of people are saying that) Did she not even offer Mark to buy him a new bag lol?AND ON TOP OF ALL THIS, PEOPLE ARE BLAMING MALLORY FOR LOSING THE RACE AT THE DETOUR. And that SHE was losing her temper, like what the heck? Mark was everything but supportive with his facepalmy behaviour. Oh, and when was that? I believe, when Mark had already received his bag And by the way, I guess S16 isn't that far to be forgotten? What about Steve & Allie and both of their lost bags? People should be complaining about Mark, not Mallory, if they choose a single person to blame
I think the fact that the Facebook fans are bashing Mallory isn't because they don't like her, but because they love Mark & Bopper sooooo much!
If I recall, Mallory was one of, if not THE most loved person from season 17, (maybe apart from Brook & Clare), and when she returned for UB she was adored by all, but that was before we first met Mark & Bopper.
Quote from: nmccarroll91 on March 04, 2014, 02:22:48 PMIf I recall, Mallory was one of, if not THE most loved person from season 17, (maybe apart from Brook & Clare), and when she returned for UB she was adored by all, but that was before we first met Mark & Bopper. Or maybe most of those haters are TAR's new fans. they haven't watched season 17 & 18. i read many comments like "who the heck is Mallory??"
Mallory cost Mark his chance to continue...so selfish. Mark was very kind in his comments about her.
Have to say...not really sad that Mallory and Mark went home. Okay, Mark, yes. Mallory, no. She was just irritating. Too bad he couldn't run it with his buddy.
Mallory did nothing to help the team, nothing but nag Mark and never even apologize for forgetting his bag after she said "I got it". He was the first to finish the task and she just ran her mouth and blew it! Why didn't she forget her own bag? 🙉
QuoteMallory did nothing to help the team, nothing but nag Mark and never even apologize for forgetting his bag after she said "I got it". He was the first to finish the task and she just ran her mouth and blew it! Why didn't she forget her own bag? 🙉Like, R U KIDDING ME?
And these are not just some random comments that I'm picking, I went to the TAR facebook page and look at comments with most likes on the more recent posts. So people are actually highly supporting these ideas And yeah.... The whole energy is as if Mallory left the bag intentionally and Mark is this piece of angel whose not-so-good actions can be set aside. Ugh, I'm not gonna say anything new that hasn't already been said on this board, but I just don't get how those stupid (they totally are, sorry for being offensive) commenters can not see that a) Mark could have left his bag like some past racers (Steve & Allie TAR16) did; b) other teams would obviously be willing to help Mark if he had no clothes or sth; c) Mark & Mallory checked in only ~10mins after YouTube, so the bag incident didn't really doom them, the detour did (WHICH IS STILL SEEN AS A FAULT OF MALLORY'S );d) Mark refused to hussle even when he had got his bag back and Mallory tried running to the detour to catch up. And that was for literally.no.reason.And to clear it all out, yeah, I was also (and still am!!) a great supporter of Mopper, though not a die hard fan. But my patience has seriously run out with these comments..
So the shorter opening title sequence is permanent after the first Leg eh?WTF!?!?! The show really is taking a nosedive.
I miss the Intro.... Conspiracy theory. What is in the missing portion they want us to forget??

Yum Yum Dishes: It's All About Moderation, Not Deprivation
Description: Yum Yum Dishes are a system of portion control that take the guesswork out of how much you're eating. Rather than polishing off an entire bag of chips in one sitting, Yum Yum Bowls allow for proportioned snacks that encourage balanced and healthy eating habits. The bowls were redesigned in 2011 to include snap-on lids for snacking on the go. This allows health conscious eaters to take their favorite naughty food or snack with them wherever they go! In addition to these fun little guys, in 2011 Yum Yum Dishes introduced the 9Plate. In America today the typical plate size is 11 to 13 inches. Yum Yum Dishes' 9Plate is the perfect size plate for anyone who wants to eat the correct portions. The 9Plate is correctly sectioned and labeled for Protein, Carbs and Veggies.

I've had a draft for 21 months with these links in it, but never posted it…
I know that people are moving away from Windows XP, skipping over Vista, and heading to Windows 7, but these are still some good links. You've probably had the opportunity to reinstall Windows on a computer and then go to WindowsUpdate and find out that there are 100+ updates that need to be installed. Well, one of the ways to help reduce the number of updates is to install the most recent major service pack. For Windows XP that is SP3. If you got a computer before SP3, what do you do? You can "slipstream" it. A simple explanation is to say that this is the process where you can take the installation CD that you have, copy it to your hard drive, copy the XP SP3 files over the old ones, and then burn a CD again. This is a handy thing to do and you can read more about doing this with the Windows XP media here:
- Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Slipstreaming Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (SP3)
- PC Magazine: Build an XP SP3 Recovery Disc
I haven't tried it, but since the Vista files come on a DVD, apparently it isn't quite as easy. However, TechRepublic has some detailed instructions.
As of the time of this posting, there is no Windows 7 service pack yet, but once there is, I'm sure if you search for Windows 7 slipstream you'll be able to find some articles explaining how to do this same process.

- Boulder police arrest suspect in 1994 homicide of Marty Grisham
After 18 years, the case of Boulder city official Marty Grisham's homicide finally came to a close Monday as a jury found Michael Clark guilty of first-degree murder for shooting Grisham in his apartment doorway in 1994.
The Boulder jury, after listening to seven days of testimony and deliberating for more than two days, returned the guilty verdict Monday.
Clark, 36, broke down and wept as Boulder District Judge Thomas Mulvahill read the verdict. Clark then turned around and hugged his wife before hanging his head.
Mulvahill sentenced Clark to life in prison -- the mandatory sentence for first-degree murder -- and he was remanded into custody shortly after the verdict was read.
The verdict put to rest a case almost two decades old. Grisham, who was 48 at the time of the shooting Nov. 1, 1994, was shot four times in the head and chest in the doorway of his apartment after answering a knock at the door during dinner with his girlfriend.
Nobody saw the shooter, and police never found the murder weapon, but investigators were able to gather enough circumstantial evidence and witness testimony to get a conviction.
"I'm deeply satisfied that the collaboration between the Boulder Police Department, the District Attorney's Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, ATF and CBI paid off with a verdict that was just and obviously the work of a very hard-working jury," said Assistant District Attorney Ryan Brackley.
Boulder police said Clark -- who, at the time of the shooting, was friends with Grisham's daughter, Kristen -- had forged checks he stole from Grisham's apartment. Kristen had asked Clark to watch the apartment about a month before the shooting.
Prosecutors said Clark was worried his dream of joining the Marine Corps would be jeopardized if Grisham caught on to the check fraud. Clark already had a previous arrest for stealing a motorcycle.
While Clark was a suspect from the beginning of the investigation, he was only charged in January of this year after prosecutors found evidence they said linked Clark to the sale of a 9mm gun similar to the one used to shoot Grisham.
While Clark's attorneys tried to convince the jury there was no hard evidence to prove Clark was the shooter, prosecutors argued the evidence showed Clark was the one person with the means and the motive to kill Grisham.
"The case was made up of a number of very, very strong circumstances which established Michael Clark as guilty and really pointed at no one other than Michael Clark," Brackley said. "In a circumstantial case, it's not one major factor but a number of circumstances which together lead to a conclusion of guilty."
The prosecution also had testimony from an inmate who was housed with Clark in Boulder County Jail after his check fraud arrest and said Clark admitted to the shooting. Several witnesses testified they saw Clark with a gun before the shooting.
Grisham's ex-wife, Pam, and daughter, Kristen -- who for some time was also a person of interest in the case -- were in the courtroom when the verdict was read.
"Kristen was grateful that Boulder police, and especially (lead detective) Chuck Heidel, stuck with this for 18 years," Brackley said. "No case is truly a cold case anymore, and we are working on these cases here in Boulder County."
District Attorney Stan Garnett said the Grisham shooting is the seventh cold-case murder to be solved since he took office. He said cold cases continue to be a priority for his office even though they aren't easy.
"It takes an enormous amount of commitment and an excellent trial team, and I'm proud of what the staff did," Garnett said. "It's justice for Marty Grisham, and the community now has resolution."
Clark's attorneys declined to comment on the case.

Jorge Federico Osorio knows firsthand the power of classical music to move young minds and hearts.
"Many years ago I was playing a concert in a church in the Mexican city of Leon," the Mexican-born, Highland Park-based pianist recalls. "When I began playing the Beethoven 'Emperor' Concerto, I noticed this boy had approached the piano. He stood almost next to me for the entire performance, listening to the music very intently. I thought, 'My goodness, I have to play well – such a responsibility!'
"About 12 years later, I was giving some master classes at the University of Guanajuato, near Leon, and a young man who had enrolled in one of the classes – I was told he was one of the star pupils – came up to me. He told me, 'I was that little boy.'
"So you never know who you are going to reach! As a musician you do whatever you have to do, as long as you do it with great respect for the music. Those experiences can be so important, so touching, so meaningful, especially for the young." Education and exposure, he adds, are crucial when it comes to exciting young people to make classical music a part of their lives.
Osorio has been moving listeners – of all ages – throughout the world in the course of a career that's been going strong for the better part of his 62 years. On Sunday afternoon he will return to Orchestra Hall for a recital that includes Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition"; Brahms' "Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel"; barcaroles by Albeniz, Castro and Tchaikovsky; and sonatas by the Spanish Baroque composer Antonio Soler.
The Chicago-based Cedille Records has just released his recording of Mexican composer Carlos Chavez's big, virtuosic Piano Concerto (1938-1940), which he is scheduled to perform with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in December.
"I've put a lot of effort into studying this piece ever since hearing it for the first time when I was a teenager," Osorio says. "It grew on me, and I came to realize it is perhaps the most important piano concerto to come out of Mexico."
For the last 15 years Osorio and his wife, Sylvana, have lived in Highland Park, just a stone's throw from Ravinia. The pianist remains a regular presence at the summer festival, where he demonstrated his classical prowess with the Beethoven piano concerto cycle he presented there in 2010. He is scheduled to return to the CSO's summer home in July to perform the Schumann Piano Concerto under James Conlon.
Having lived for extended periods in New York, Mexico City and London before settling in the Chicago area in 1998, the pianist says the cultural advantages that first attracted him and his wife to the city are what keeps them here to this day – that, and Chicago's proximity to Mexico and other places where he performs regularly.
"I always felt Chicago was the right place for us," says Osorio, a member of the piano faculty of Roosevelt University's Chicago College of Performing Arts for the last six years. "It's a very exciting city culturally – the symphony, opera, museums, chamber music, everything that goes around. I've had some fantastic seasons here.
"And I really love teaching. I've limited myself to a small group of students, so that I can really give them (the time and attention) they need."
No pianist of international stature has championed Mexican piano music with as much dedication as Osorio. His duty as a traveling ambassador for Mexican musical culture has something to do with that, he says, "but you also have to play things you really care about and are convinced about." For Cedille he has recorded several albums of piano works by Mexican composers, including a lightweight but charming collection of parlor pieces, "Salon Mexicano," which appeared last year.
Nor does Osorio shy away from contemporary Mexican music. In June he will give the world premiere of a piano concerto written for and dedicated to him by Mexican composer Alexis Aranda, with the National Symphony Orchestra of Mexico under Carlos Miguel Prieto.
"Being Mexican myself and knowing there are so many fine pieces of Mexican music out there, I feel I must try to give them the exposure they deserve," he says. "We pianists are spoiled by the wealth of (mainstream) repertory available to us, but one has to remain curious and enthusiastic about other music as well."
Given the unique repertory niche Osorio has carved out for himself, and the elegant command he brings to his performances, there seems little doubt his career will continue to flourish.
"Many places (on the concert circuit) want me back – that's always a good sign," he says. "There are many plans, many things happening, at this point in my career; and I'm really excited about that. The dedication, passion and love I have for what I do will, I trust, always be there."
Pianist Jorge Federico Osorio will appear in recital at 3 p.m. Sunday at Symphony Center, 220 S. Michigan Ave.; $19-$77; 312-294-3000, cso.org.
Music Institute moves downtown
The North Shore-based Music Institute of Chicago will expand its campus network to include a new educational facility at Fourth Presbyterian Church, 126 N. Chestnut St., in the North Michigan Avenue area. Plans are for the new MIC campus to open in September within the church's new Gratz Center. It will provide music lessons and classes for children and adults, supplementing MIC's programs in the Chicago public schools.
The music institute also has announced it will close its campus in Highland Park this summer and expand its facilities at the Grove Cultural Campus in Lake Forest to offer lessons, classes, chamber music and performance opportunities for students of all ages.
WFMT launches 'Exploring Music' archive

This year I've been doing a series of resource posts on some of the most widely covered topics. So far we've covered how to make a personal budget and ways to cut your debt. This week we are focusing on some great ways to save money.
I still remember the day it dawned on me that by actually thinking about and monitoring where my money was going, I could actually have a lot more of it. As a person who spent many years not paying attention to where my money was going, it was quite an eye-opening experience.
I remember seeing my credit card bills and wondering to myself how going out to eat a few times and a knick-knack here or there could add up to hundreds of dollars. I would often recalculate the totals because I was sure that the credit card company had made a mistake. Yet I never found a calculation error on their end – it turned out it was just foolish overspending on mine!
Begining to try to save money
I then began to actually try to cut back on going out to eat, say no to unnecessary purchases, and invest some time shopping for a better deal. To my surprise, the small amount of energy that I put into saving money yielded hundreds of dollars of savings – rather than just a few bucks that I previously assumed.
To clarify, I just thought all the money-saving techniques, like buying used, cutting coupons, and cooking food at home would only yield a small amount of savings – so I never tried them. Since I was good at spending more money than I had, I was able to save a lot of money just by making a few small adjustments.
Americans love new cars and eating out
I remember interviewing a very wealthy mentor of mine and he said that many Americans trade retirement savings for being able to drive a new car and go out to eat. He explained that just by making the sacrifice of not always driving a new car and eating at home, it is so much easier to get ahead and build wealth. (Related Article: How your car affects your financial freedom)
Over the years I can say that I can't agree more – particularly when it comes to cars. The average American spends way too much money on car-related expenses. From paying for the car itself, interest charges, insurance, maintenance and repairs, and taxes some people end up spending over 30% of their income for car-related expenses. All for something that quickly depreciates and typically sells for a fraction of what you pay for it new.
Eating out
I still love eating out, but my wife and I have chosen to make it more of a celebratory event – rather than a daily occurrence. To save money when we do eat out, we often use our Entertainment Book cut our our bill by just about half.
So anyway, while cars and food are two great places to start saving money, there are countless other ways to save some bucks…

These are some of the articles written over the last few years that will help you save money in a variety of ways. And if this isn't enough, you can always scan all the articles in the save money category.

DailyDirt: Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Is overtime pay really that important for middle class prosperity? Decades ago, American workers earned more time-and-a-half pay than they do today, and there's a billionaire who points out that raising the overtime threshold income to $69,000 (from $23,660) would bring back overtime pay rules to over 10 million workers. [url]
- A few retailers like Costco, Trader Joe's and QuikTrip pay their workers more than other low-cost retail firms. But can productivity gains from hiring and treating employees better actually work across the retail sector? [url]
- Between 1997 and 2013, childcare providers' wages hardly grew at all, according to the National Child Care Staffing Study. It may not be too surprising to see that childcare workers earn near poverty-level wages, but it's a bit disconcerting to see that adults who take care of animals earn more. [url]
- It costs money to save money, so it's not so easy to bootstrap your way out of poverty. Getting sick, having a car break down, getting a parking ticket... are all unlucky events that could ruin your life if you have no savings and a low-paying job. [url]

Greeley police arrest 9 in methamphetamine trafficking investigation
April 24, 2014
Police arrested nine people in connection with methamphetamine trafficking in Greeley and Weld County on Wednesday, concluding a seven month-long investigation.
