Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. (2 Cor. 5:18-21; NKJV)An orthodox doctrine of the atonement must affirm that God's economy of salvation is …
[God] is who He is, and lives as what He is, in that He does what He does. … The whole being and life of God is an activity, both in eternity and in worldly time, both in Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and in His relation to man and all creation. (Barth, CD IV.1, 6-7)
(4) … actualized. By establishing actualism as a central parameter in a doctrine of the atonement, I knowingly distance myself from both liberal Protestantism and evangelical semi-Pelagianism: the former emphasizes our subjective imitation of Jesus as a moral example while the latter stresses that Christ's atoning sacrifice was made available to all people but is only actualized in our subjective appropriation of that sacrifice. I will return to my dispute with both of these popular positions in more detail below, but for now it will suffice to point out that both liberalism and semi-Pelagianism undermine the exclusivity of Christ. By affirming the actuality of the atonement, I thus affirm the unique and exclusive nature of Christ's person and work. Before continuing, however, I will review the essential features of an actualistic theological ontology.
The question of actualism is not primarily christological; rather, divine actualism first and foremost concerns our doctrine of God. One of the major revolutions in modern theology was the discovery of the dogmatic axiom, "God is what God does," which was itself a clarification of the more basic axiom governing all orthodox theology, "God alone reveals God." These two axioms together are an attempt to speak meaningfully of God's being without metaphysical speculation, that is, without resorting to a substance metaphysics or a speculative deus absconditus. In order to accomplish this, theology must attend to the acts of God—i.e., to the event of God rather than the substance of God. In particular, an actualistic theology attends to the concrete revelation of God in Jesus Christ as "the beginning of all the ways and works of God." (Barth, CD II.2, 316).
In connexion with the being of God that is here in question, we are not concerned with a concept of being that is common, neutral and free to choose, but with one which is from the first filled out in a quite definite way. … This means that we cannot discern the being of God in any other way than by looking where God Himself gives us Himself to see, and therefore by looking at His works, at this relation and attitude—in the confidence that in these His works we do not have to do with any others, but with His works and therefore with God Himself, with His being as God. (CD II.1, 261)Jesus Christ is the locus and criterion of divine revelation, and thus the locus and criterion of God's eternal being. God's very being is made known to humanity in the history of Jesus of Nazareth as the event of divine self-revelation. Of course, God is not self-evident to humanity but remains known only through faith by the power of the Holy Spirit: "The being of God is either known by grace or it is not known at all" (CD II.1, 27). Nevertheless, by faith we confess that in the person of Jesus, God defines Godself; in Jesus Christ, God acts. Jesus Christ is the event of God. Emmanuel—God with us—"is not a state, but an event" (CD IV.1, 6). We can thus state these insights in the form of logical propositions:
A. God alone reveals God.The assertion that God is a being-in-act means that "the being of God declares His reality: not only His reality for us—certainly that—but at the same time His own, inner, proper reality, behind which and above which there is no other" (262). God's reality—actualized and revealed in Christ—is both pro nobis and pro se, both ad extra and ad intra, both historical and eternal, both actualistic and ontological. God's triune being-in-act thus encompasses the full scope of the divine life both in eternity and in history: "The whole being and life of God is an activity, both in eternity and in worldly time, both in Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and in His relation to man and all creation" (CD IV.1, 7). The whole life of God is a being-in-act in which the being of God is defined by the acts of God. By identifying God as a being-in-act, modern theology affirms the closest possible relation between actualism and ontology, the latter of which I will discuss in the next section (§8.IV.5). This divine relation—between history and ontology, between act and being—is a actuality in the person of Jesus Christ.
B. Revelation is the act of God.
C. God is (eternally) what God does (historically).
D. Jesus Christ is the historical self-revelation of God.
E. Therefore, Jesus Christ reveals in history who God is eternally; that is, Jesus reveals pro nobis [for us] who God is in se [in Godself].
F. Therefore, God actualized in Jesus Christ who God is ontologically from all eternity; that is, God ontologically defined Godself in the historical act of self-revelation in Jesus Christ.
G. To summarize, God is a being-in-act, "which is in no sense act in general but the concrete, specific action of His love" (CD II.1, 299).
What is concerned is always the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, always His justification of faith, always His lordship in the Church, always His coming again, and therefore Himself as our hope. … And in this very event God is who He is. God is He who in this event is subject, predicate and object; the revealer, the act of revelation, the revealed; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God is the Lord active in this event. We say "active" in this event, and therefore for our salvation and for His glory, but in any case active. Seeking and finding God in His revelation, we cannot escape the action of God for a God who is not active. This is not only because we ourselves cannot, but because there is no surpassing or bypassing at all of the divine action, because a transcendence of His action is nonsense. We are dealing with the being of God: but with regard to the being of God, the word "event" or "act" is final, and cannot be surpassed or compromised. To its very deepest depths God's Godhead consists in the fact that it is an event—not any event, not events in general, but the event of His action, in which we have a share in God's revelation. (CD II.1, 262-63; emphasis added)All of this can be reframed in trinitarian terms. We can say, following Karl Rahner, that the economic Trinity (what God does) is the immanent Trinity (who God is) and correspondingly the immanent Trinity (ontology) is the economic Trinity (actualism). In other words, the God ad extra is the God ad intra, and vice versa. To state it most simply, what God accomplishes historically reveals who God is ontologically. We thus have no grounds for permitting a split within God between the deus revelatus [the revealed God] and the deus absconditus [the hidden God]. We know only one God—the God of grace revealed to us in Jesus Christ—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God is who He is, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Creator, Reconciler and Redeemer, supreme, the one true Lord; and He is known in this entirety or He is not known at all. There is no existence of God behind or beyond this entirety of His being. Whatever we can know and say about the being of God can be only a continual explanation of this entirety. … We either know God Himself and therefore entirely, or we do not know Him at all. (CD II.1, 51-52)While I affirm Rahner's formula, I also recognize the danger pointed out by Hans Urs von Balthasar, that we might end up resolving the being of God into a purely immanent reality. In order to protect against this, we should remember that Jesus Christ is not the whole triune God incarnate but rather the incarnate second person of the Trinity. With this qualification in mind, however, we must still assert that the subject of the life of Jesus is indeed the Logos, the second person of the Trinity. God is the subject of the life, suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus, even while the triune God's self-differentiation allows God, as the incarnate Logos, to act also as the object of the divine command. God is internally and eternally the self-positing and self-posited God; God self-determines Godself to be both subject and object. To ensure that we do not reduce the triune God into God's historical self-manifestation, we should keep in mind the basic principle of Scripture: "All things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, … God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself" (2 Cor. 5.18-19, NKJV; emphasis added). God was actually in Christ—so that Jesus Christ truly acts as God and reveals the being of God—but God is not limited to Christ. The triunity of God enables revelation and prevents limitation. God precludes any attempt to exhaust the divine richness by confining the being of God to one particular system of thought.
God is wholly and utterly the good-pleasure of His grace and mercy. At any rate, He is wholly and utterly in His revelation, in Jesus Christ. And therefore it is not only justifiable but necessary for us to understand His whole being and nature as comprehended and ordered in His good pleasure. (75)
If God ontologically defines Godself out of the historical actuality of divine revelation, then we have the basis for a proper theological method ordered by God's self-revelation. As stated above (Proposition A), the theological datum governing this entire project is that God alone reveals God. With this in mind, we can develop a theological method which (1) examines what God does in the history of God's covenant relations with humanity and (2) then extrapolates from that concrete reality who God must be ontologically to enable the actualization of that historical event. In other words, an actualistic theological ontology thinks after (Nachdenken) the movement of God's being in time and space. We do not think before (i.e., speculate about) God's actions; rather, we allow God to define Godself within the concrete event of revelation. Theological thought is thus reflection on the event of God:
To think God means to be taken along by God. Theological thought is in a profound sense a process of being taken along. (Jüngel, God as the Mystery of the World 159)What follows from this is the operative principle in a theological system which "thinks after" God's being: If God has done x, then God must be capable of x in God's own being. For example, if God has become incarnate in Jesus of Nazareth, then God ad intra is a God capable of incarnation. The actuality of God's movement in history depends upon the divine possibility of this actuality; conversely, we only determine what is possible for God based on what God has already accomplished. The acts of God (ad extra) truly reveal the life of God (ad intra), just as the life of God is the ground of possibility for the acts of God. An actualistic ontology will thus distinguish between possibility and actuality in the triune life of God—not through speculation but by attending to the concrete, historical reality of God's being-in-act as a being-in-becoming.
No concept of God arrived at independent of the reality of Jesus Christ may decide what is possible and impossible for God. Rather, we are to say from what God as man in Jesus Christ is, does and suffers: 'God can do this.' (Jüngel, God's Being Is in Becoming 99)What bearing does any of this have upon the doctrine of the atonement? The doctrine of the atonement is concerned, first and foremost, with the event of reconciliation—a singular, exclusive, unrepeatable event. The name of this event is Jesus Christ. The doctrine of the atonement is not primarily concerned with how but with who. It is not an abstract teaching on how guilt is removed but is rather the most concrete doctrine—concrete precisely because it is cruciform. At the heart of the gospel stands the most particular and decisive act of God: the cross of Christ. The cross, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ—the mysterium paschale—is the sine qua non of the atonement and thus the heart of the euangelion, the "good news" of the gospel. At the heart of the Christian faith stands the person of Jesus Christ, who is indistinguishable from the reconciling work of God that was accomplished in his person: "God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself" (2 Cor. 5.19). Jesus unites in himself act and being, event and ontology, history and eternity.
If the event of Jesus Christ is indeed decisive for reconciliation to take place between sinful humanity and the holy triune God, what is the nature of this event? What does it mean to call the atonement an act of God? Christian tradition has tended to view the atonement in two different ways, and by this I do not mean the different theories of the atonement. Outside and above the different theories, Christian tradition has viewed the atonement in one of two ways, which can be described using different pairs of terms: objective/subjective, exclusive/inclusive, actualized/non-actualized. Each of these pairs offers slightly different perspectives on the same basic question: Did Christ completely and actually atone for sin in himself, once and for all? The first term in each pair answers this question in the affirmative, the latter in the negative.
What is the significance of either position? (1) If one affirms that the atonement was actualized in Christ, then one affirms that Christ's atonement for sins was objective and exclusive; that is, Christ excludes all other attempts to achieve salvation by locating salvation objectively in his own person as the messiah of God. (2) If one affirms that the atonement was not actualized in Christ, then one affirms that Christ's atonement for sins is (at least potentially) inclusive of other means of salvation (by works, other religions, etc.) and that salvation is thus located not in the objective reality of Christ but in the subjective reality of the believer. The actuality of the atonement thus means that the atonement was fully, objectively, and exclusively accomplished in Jesus Christ. The non-actuality of the atonement means that the atonement was not completed in the event of Jesus Christ and thus that Christ is not the sole and exclusive basis for reconciliation with God.
By affirming divine actualism—and thus the actuality of the atonement—we rule out the idea that Jesus only made reconciliation possible. We deny that Jesus made reconciliation a potential reality, which we as believers must then actualize by our faith. By undermining the actuality of the atonement, one also undermines the event-character of the life of Jesus as the act of God. The very being of Jesus Christ becomes a potentiality, not an actuality. Correspondingly, any attempt to lessen the actuality of the atonement implies that the subjective completion of the atonement is not only a completion of reconciliation, but the completion of God's own being in Christ. The very being of God is at stake in the doctrine of the atonement.
Furthermore, with the loss of actuality and finality in the event of reconciliation, Jesus becomes merely a teacher and moral influence who urges his followers to actualize his example. Jesus does not accomplish anything exclusively on his own as the Son of God—other than perhaps living the perfect moral life. Denying the actuality of the atonement denies the centrality and divinity of Christ and elevates the human believer as the center of the faith. In other words, whenever we lessen the actuality of God's reconciling work in Christ, we elevate our own status as reconciling partners with God. Whenever we lessen divine actualism, we threaten our very knowledge of God as a being-in-act and undermine our assurance of grace and salvation in Jesus Christ. Divine actualism allows us to be passive recipients of God's reconciling love and frees us from the unbearable responsibility of trying to earn God's favor. Divine actualism preserves God's relation to us as a relation of pure grace.
We preach and teach the Gospel evangelically, then, in such a way as this: God loves you so utterly and completely that he has given himself for you in Jesus Christ his beloved Son, and has thereby pledged his very Being as God for your salvation. In Jesus Christ God has actualised his unconditional love for you in your human nature in such a once and for all way, that he cannot go back upon it without undoing the Incarnation and the Cross and thereby denying himself. Jesus Christ died for you precisely because you are sinful and utterly unworthy of him, and has thereby already made you his own before and apart from your ever believing in him. He has bound you to himself by his love in a way that he will never let you go, for even if you refuse him and damn yourself in hell his love will never cease. Therefore, repent and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. … He has believed for you, fulfilled your human response to God, even made your personal decision for you, … so that in Jesus Christ you are already accepted by him. (T.F. Torrance, The Mediation of Christ 94)The gracious actuality of the atonement involves both the death and life of Jesus, both the objective sacrifice and the objective response. Jesus Christ is the Mediator, whose vicarious mediation restores us in relation to God through his death to sin and his life of righteousness. In Jesus Christ, both sides of reconciliation are complete: both the movement of God to humanity and the movement of humanity to God. In Christ alone, God not only actualizes the divine forgiveness and acceptance of sinful humanity, but God also actualizes the human repentance and decision for God. Divine actualism ensures that salvation is sola gratia—by grace alone.
God is He who in this event is subject, predicate and object; the revealer, the act of revelation, the revealed; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God is the Lord active in this event. We say "active" in this event, and therefore for our salvation and for His glory, but in any case active. Seeking and finding God in His revelation, we cannot escape the action of God for a God who is not active. (CD II.1, 263)God is the Lord, as Barth stresses, and as the Lord, God is active "for our salvation and for His glory." God does not depend on human creatures to finish the work of redemption and reconciliation, just as God does not depend on us to create the cosmos. God is the personal event of Love, and we are the recipients of the gracious gifts overflowing from this event for all people. God is subject and object, revealer and revealed, giver and receiver, speaker and hearer, beginning and end, origin and telos. The event of reconciliation begins and ends within God's own being, and yet we participate in this reconciliation because we participate in the being of Jesus Christ who assumed human nature 'for us and for our salvation.' God does not need us, yet God freely and graciously makes us God's covenant partners. God has divinely decided to not be God without us, and thus to be God for us.
I shall now return to where we began this discussion of divine actualism. The affirmation of actualism has a two-fold polemic in mind: First, actualism denies semi-Pelagianism, which states that we have to meet God half-way; that we have to freely seek God, and then God will grant us the grace of salvation. We see this most prominently in evangelical revivalism, in which people are implored to step forward toward the altar and make a decision for Christ. The free human decision is what completes the event of reconciliation—and thus also the being of God in Jesus Christ. Apart from this decision, salvation remains merely potential. Calvinism and Augustinian-Thomism state that this first move is purely an act of divine grace, because these were the people elected by God in pre-temporal eternity (double predestination). The former position (Calvinism) believes that these people are eternally secure, while the latter (Augustinian-Thomism) believes such people must maintain their salvation through penance and works of love. Universalism accepts all the tenets of the former except that it refuses to place limits around the scope of God's grace: "God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself."
Second, divine actualism rejects the liberal position of Christ as mere moral example. Jesus as example does not definitively accomplish anything in himself but only urges his followers to imitate his example in their own lives. Divine actualism is replaced with divine exhortation. But exhortation without reconciliation is salvation by works, while reconciliation—when it comes first and comes from God—liberates us to live according to the exhortations of Christ. Abelard's liberal theological position is untenable for anyone wishing to affirm a high Christology that proclaims boldly: "God was in Christ."
The question of the atonement—as the christological-soteriological question about God's being-in-act—is thus intimately connected to the question of faith. Do we complete the atonement by professing faith in Christ? Or do we affirm something that is already true? Does our faith reconcile us to God, or does our faith instead recognize and affirm that God has indeed reconciled the world to himself in Jesus Christ? The answer of classical Protestantism was and is that God alone reconciles, and we are the recipients of that reconciling love. In light of divine actualism, we must then define faith, as we addressed in §7, as our Yes to God's prior and actualized Yes to us in Jesus Christ. Faith asserts that the atonement is complete—"it is finished"—and yet also affirms that the ontological reality of Christ's reconciling work must become existentially effective—"be reconciled to God." Faith is faith in the actuality of the atonement, in the event of Jesus Christ, in the gracious being-in-act of God as Deus pro nobis.
The simplest answer to the question of the nature of human faith is that faith is the human 'Yes', the affirmation, coming from the heart, to the definitive affirmation from God which comes to us in the occasion of our justification. It is the human 'Yes' to that clear and already accomplished negation by God which we have because of that definitive affirmation in Jesus Christ. ... Believers agree that God's condemning and acquitting judgement is already accomplished in the person of Jesus Christ. (Jüngel, Justification 237)Divine actualism is no abstract teaching about God's being. Actualism is the most concrete and central affirmation of the Christian faith. The actuality of God ensures that the triune God we encounter in history is the triune God who lives for all eternity in the repleteness of God's being-in-communion. The actuality of God ensures that what Christ accomplished in his life, death, and resurrection is indeed 'for us and for our salvation,' effective and complete, objective and exclusive, in our place and on our behalf, pro nobis and pro omnibus, total and free. The actuality of God promises that our condemnation and acquittal, our negation and affirmation, our judgment and justification, are already accomplished in Christ, thus liberating us to be passive recipients of God's overflowing grace as participants in the being of Jesus Christ.
Faith ... is our grateful Yes and Amen to God's own Yes and Amen, which has come into being in Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 1:19f). There can be no additions made to this Amen. (251)
In conclusion, the narrative of God's being-in-act frees us for faith now and awaits the eschaton with hope. The actuality of the triune God involves the past event of reconciliation, the present event of reunion, and the future event of resurrection: "for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ" (1 Cor. 15:22). Only as the actuality of reconciliation occurs extra nos in Jesus Christ can reunion with God be existentially realized in nobis and eschatologically perfected pro omnibus. Our hope and salvation is solus Christus—Christ alone. The actuality of God thus takes the form of a servant and the shape of a cross. Divine actualism is the assurance of the faith, the confidence in the truth, and the confession of the gospel: "God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself." Yes and Amen.

Don't say goodbye yet to either Joe Wampler or Jerry Brown.
Officially retired on Jan. 1 (Brown) and Jan. 6 (Wampler), the two law enforcement veterans will maintain their link to the Hood River County Sheriff's Department by serving as reserve deputies, at least through mid-2013.
Wampler, nationally known for his search-and-rescue expertise, will continue to serve the county in that role, partly as airplane search pilot, which in recent years has been a high-profile role for him, both literally and figuratively.
"I thank you all. I'm the luckiest guy in the world in the fact that I've got a job that's got everything a guy would ever want to do," Wampler said. "I got to do all those things, see a lot of crazy things, work with a lot of great people; and for that I am entirely appreciative."
More than 250 people attended a retirement reception Thursday for Wampler and Brown. The audience included dozens of fellow law enforcement professionals, in uniform or civies. County Administrator David Meriwether and Sheriff-elect Matt English presented Brown and Wampler with honors, and Law Enforcement Association President Pete Hughes thanked both men on behalf of the organization.
Hughes said, "Congratulations for your service; we are all very appreciative of all the things you have done. I think there is probably only one member of the sheriff's office who wasn't hired by Joe; that shows you it looks that way because of Joe."
Meriwether said, "I think the number of people who showed up here today says worlds about what everyone in the community thinks about these gentlemen as they retire from many years of outstanding public service."
Wampler started in law enforcement as a seasonal marine patrol deputy in 1973 at age 19, and was elected sheriff 20 years ago at age 38. Brown has worked most of his adult life in public service in Hood River County, including 20 years in law enforcement.
Meriwether said that Brown, after several years in the food and beverage industry — "and that's all he would tell us about that" — went to work in 1977 for four years as executive director of The Next Door Inc., then went to work for City of Hood River police department, reaching lieutenant.
In 2006, Brown came to Hood River County Sheriff as chief deputy "and has served nobly in that capacity and throughout this career," Meriwether said.
"Jerry, I have enjoyed working with you these last years," Meriwether said.
"In law enforcement I've been fortunate to work with Joe, and for me it was a good experience and I worked with some great people," Brown said. "As we leave, were leaving it in great hands. Matt will do a wonderful job and he has great troops."
Wampler praised all three of the chief deputies who have served with him: Greg Sandercock, Dwayne Troxel, and Brown.
"Dwayne is largely responsible for everything we've got, and Jerry Brown; all I have to do is think it and he does it," Wampler said.
"I just got to work with a crew that's awesome. If there is one thing I can say I got to do while I was here, that was hire a great group of guys; not only deputies but dispatchers, and the corrections officers who work in the jail. It was awesome to be able to work with all these people."
Jeff Jakeway, search and rescue coordinator for Mt. Hood Forest for many years, said he knew Joe and Jerry "for quite a few incidents" and served with Wampler on the governor's policy commission for search and rescue.
Robert Wymore of Hood River, a retired physician, said that "a number of years ago my oldest son, Robert, and a friend were hiking and got caught in a snowstorm, and if it hadn't been for Joe and the other search and rescue guys, he wouldn't be here today."
Jakeway said, "His wisdom contributed greatly to our efforts to create the policy throughout the whole state. He deserves a lot of thanks."
Jakeway also worked in a joke about Wampler's renowned abilities as a search pilot.
"I also want to thank Joe for not learning how to land his plane on Mount Hood, because it would have put Portland Mountain Rescue and Crag Rats out of business," Jakeway said.
Meriwether said, "There is now not a finer search and rescue commander in the country. I worked with Joe 11 years and I could not have asked for a finer person, a finer man or a finer law enforcement officer to work with all these years."
He presented Brown and Wampler with glass plaques. Meriwether said Wampler "has dedicated nearly four decades of duty, honor and service to the citizens and visitors to Hood River County, Oregon."
The plaques are imbedded with replicas of their sheriff badges. Meriwether also gave them the first two of the newly minted Hood River County commemorative coffee mugs.
English read the U.S. Congressional Record excerpts from Dec. 18, courtesy of U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, which said that Wampler "dedicated nearly four decades of duty, honor and service to the citizens and visitors to Hood River County, Oregon. He has earned the thanks of a grateful nation, not only for his dedication to service, but also his unwavering commitment to his community."
Walden's Congressional comments said Brown served not only his community but also as a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps in Vietnam.
"During his time with NDI ... he coordinated weeklong hikes and trips, diligently fund-raised and secured accreditation through the Youth Care Association. His efforts helped form the program into a model for other areas to follow that continues to this day."
English noted that Wampler inherited a fleet of four vehicles that deputies had to share, when he became sheriff in 1993. (Wampler, then assistant police chief, defeated two-term incumbent Dick Kelly in the 1992 election.)
He instituted a vehicle replacement program, allowing every deputy on his watch to drive a dedicated vehicle, improving response time and reducing vehicle maintenance.
"During his five terms the agency acquired much-needed specialized equipment to deal with rural law enforcement, including three airplanes a snow cat, an ATV, mobile command vehicle and trailer, to name a few.
"His personal passion for residents and visitors to Hood River County is an inspiration."
Carroll Davis, of Hood River, served in the old Alpinees group with a young Joe Wampler, and recalled that the sheriff was a student of his at Hood River Valley High School.
"I've known him since he was a kid, and am glad to see he was so successful; and congratulations to him," Davis said.
Meriwether also asked for a round of applause for "someone who deserves all our thanks, for many years of interrupted sleep" — Joe's wife, Charmaine.
In closing, Wampler said, "I appreciate all the support; we've had a great time doing what we do. I'm looking forward to working with Matt and the guys.
"I'm going to miss it," he said, looking over the crowd. "A lot of these guys are people I've worked with; it brings back a lot of memories."
He noted that the department will be shorthanded for about six months, "so Jerry and I offered to go back and take a shift now and then if they need that. We'll be around to fill-in a little bit. After everybody else can't make it, you call us and we'll do it.
"And the search and rescue thing — I'll keep doing that."

Parkdale third graders sing "12 Disaster Days of Christmas"
Welcome to your sing-able Christmas gift list. What follows is an emergency rendition of "12 Days of Christmas" – for outfitting your home or car in case of snow storm, earthquake, flood or other emergency. Read it as a simple list, or sing it to the tune of "12 Days" – you know, as in " … and a partridge in a pear tree…" Not to make light of it, but the song is a familiar framework for a set of gift ideas that you could consider gathering together, even if the recipient already owns items such as a bunch of coats, tire chains and flashlights. Stores throughout the Gorge are stocked up on all these items. Buying all 12 days might be prohibitive, but here are three ideas for checking any of the dozen off your list (notations follow, 1-12.) The gift items needed to stay warm, dry and safe are also coded to suggest items in your abode (A) in your car (C) or both (B). 12 Gallons of Water (A) 11 Family meals (B) 10 Cans of propane (A) 9 Hygiene bags (B) 8 Packs of batteries (A) 7 Spare coats (B) 6 Bright red flares (C) 5 Cozy blankets (B) 4 Tire chains (C) 3 Flashlights (B) 2 cell phone chargers (B) 1 And a crush-proof first aid kit (B) Price ranges? Here's a few quotes for days Three, Two, Four and Nine: n A family gift of flashlights (three will run $15-30, Hood River Supply, Tum-A-Lum) n Cell phone chargers (two will run $30-60) n Tire chains (basic set, $30, Les Schwab, returnable if unused for the winter) n Family meals ($100 or so should cover the basics for three or four reasonably well-fed days) n The home kit should be kept in a handy place near an exit, and remember that water needs to be replenished every few months. If you have a solid first aid kit already, switch out the gift idea with "and-a-sto-o-u-t- tub-for it-all …" Otherwise, it's a case of assembling your home or car kits and making sure all members of the family know what the resources are and how to use them (ie flares and propane). Emergency situations are at worst life-threatening, at best deeply uncomfortable if you and your family are left without power for an extended period, or traveling and find yourself in a situation where you need to wait out a storm, lengthy traffic delay, or other crisis. Notes on the 12 gift ideas: 12 – Gallons of water: that's one per person in a four-member family to last for three days, the recommended minimum to be prepared for utility outages. 11 – Easy-open packaged goods, energy bars, dried food and nuts are good things to include for nutrition. Think of what your family of four needs for three days to stay fortified and hydrated (see number 12). Can-opener also recommended 10 – If you have a propane camping stove, keep extra fuel handy. 9 – Hygiene bags: put packaged moistened towelettes, toilet paper, and plastic ties in large garbage bags (for personal sanitation) Resource list courtesy of Hood River County Emergency Management, Barbara Ayers, manager/ 541-386-1213. The county also reminds residents to Get a Kit, Make A Plan to connect your family if separated, and Stay Informed. See www.co.hood-river.or.us to opt-in for citizen alerts. Enlarge

Anna Chennault: Informal Diplomacy and Asian Relations (Biographies in American Foreign Policy No. 8)
By: Catherine Forslund (author)Paperback1 - 2 weeks availability
She held few government posts, yet she was a strong influence on the course of U.S.-Asian relations in the last half of the twentieth century. The Chinese-born wife of General Claire Chennault of World War II Flying Tigers fame, Anna Chennault was a leader in America's informal relations with East Asia from 1950 to 1990. Professor Catherine Forslund's book, Anna Chennault: Informal Diplomacy and Asian Relations examines Chennault's unique, multifaceted career as an exemplar of American informal diplomacy during the post-World War II era. A fascinating look at a woman before her time, this new book is an informative and engaging account of the complex nature of U.S.-Asian relations, diplomatic processes, and the role of women in foreign affairs.Create a review

I, and I think I can safely say we, are suckers for a spicy pasta. There is something uber comforting about a big bowl of spicy pasta. Add in some charred vegetables and we are completely sold.
This recipe fits the bill completely. I used smoked chicken sausage which made it come together in a matter of minutes. Honestly the entire recipe took about as long as boiling the water and cooking the pasta. I can seriously back a recipe that promises that.
Musical selection: Fly Over States by: Jason Aldean. Is anyone else as obsessed with this song as I am?
First slice up an onion as well as a red and yellow pepper.Pop them in a large skillet with a drizzle of canola oil. Make sure the pan is really hot--medium high heat so you can get that char.
The secret ingredient--this stuff is so good and makes the recipe super fast since it is already fully cooked.
Slice it up and pop it in the pan.
Until things start to look like this. Just starting to char.
Pop the broccoli in the pan and cook for a few minutes but just a few, no one likes soggy broccoli.
Remove the sausage and veggies from the pan and set aside. Doesn't it look pretty?
Deglaze the pan by pouring a bit of chicken stock in, stir and try to scrape up the charred bits.
Add a block of cream cheese. And stir it until it is fully melted. It will look like it isn't going to come together, trust me, it does, and it gets thicker.
Mix in a bunch of cajun seasoning. keep tasting it and add more if you like more spice.
Add some black pepper
And salt
Dump in the cooked pasta
Stir it up. You can stop here if you would like but, if you want to guild the lilly...
Pour it into a 9x13 baking dish
Shred some cheddar cheese on the top
And some parmesan over the top of that.
A little sprinkle of cajun seasoning on the top and into the oven it goes for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Like this.
Hello spicy delicious.
Even better. Now, I'm off to burry my head in the leftovers.
Cajun Pasta
3/4 lb rigatoni (or pasta of your choice) cooked
drizzle of canola oil
1/2 yellow pepper, sliced in thin strips
1/2 red pepper, sliced in thin strips
1/2 medium onion, sliced in thin strips
1 1/2 cups smoked sausage (I used chicken sausage), cut in thin bite-sized pieces
1 cup fresh broccoli
2 cups reduced sodium chicken stock
1 block (8oz) cream cheese
2 tablespoons (or more depending on your level of spice) cajun seasoning
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
While cooking the pasta (according to the directions), heat a skillet with canola oil on medium high heat. Once the skillet is heated, add the peppers and onions and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until everything begins to char. Add the broccoli and cook for about a minute. Remove the sausage and veggies from the pan and set aside.
Pour the chicken stock into the pan and scrape the bottom. Add the cream cheese block and stir until combined. Add the cajun seasoning to your taste along with the salt and pepper.
Toss the pasta, veggies and sausage into the sauce. Pour into a 9x13 pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Top with cheddar and parmesan cheese, sprinkle with additional cajun seasoning if you wish. Put this into a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Top with additional parmesan cheese and enjoy!

criticism of my parent style labelling my child
(4 Posts)And your friend may find if she has another then they may behave just like your DS!
Hard to say without knowing your DS or parenting style.
My dd never behaved like that. Though whether that was down to my parenting or luck who knows?
I did have a friend with a very boisterous boy and her parenting of him IMO was awful. He wold misbehave, she would threaten him with a punishment, he'd do it again and she wouldn't carry out the punishment. However, I bit my lip and never said anything even though he used to hit dd. we did keep our distance for a while because of it, I felt I had to protect dd.
Her DS grew out of it. We are still friends.
It does sound from your description as though your DS may be somewhat overindulged and you may indeed be making a rod for your own back but that is your business and not hers. She doesn't sound like a friend worth having if she would try to force her opinion on you and diminish your confidence.
Enjoy your little one and forget her.
I have a lively and clever 3 year old. He is boisterous and resorts to hitting when there are problems usually related to toys. He went through a biting stage but this has (thankfully) stopped. He is an only child and when I am in the company of other adults it is someimes stressful as he constantly seeks my attention. Is this normal? He is a loving and very cuddly child.
I am struggling to deal with a particular 'friend' who is openly critical of my parenting style. I am appalled that she seemingly things it is ok to be so openly critical. She has told me my child has 'behaviour issues' which will develop into a serious problems. I work as a teacher and do not think this is true but it has impacted on my confidence and ended the friendship, which does not bother me as her attitude has not been a one off. Any comments ideas would be appreciated.

OpinionSacred women in Israel and Palestine Will protests against ultra-Orthodox Jews' campaign for gender segregation get justice for women in Israel, Palestine? 29 Dec 2011 14:06 GMT By Mark LeVine @culturejamming Mark LeVine is a professor of Middle Eastern History at University of California, Irvine, and a Distinguished Visiting P Story highlightsIrvine, California - I can think of about four million Palestinians who can sympathise with Naama Margolese, the eight-year-old Israeli girl, whose routine humiliation by ultra-Orthodox Israelis on her way to school has "shocked" the nation, uniting the majority of Jewish Israelis in anger at the growing power of harshly conservative Jewish movements in the country.But you won't be hearing from them any time soon the way this story is being presented.Coming on the heels of the unprecedented and largely secular protests this past summer in Tel Aviv and other cities to press for affordable housing and "social justice" more broadly, and the recent attacks by extremist settlers against Israeli soldiers, this latest conflict has led many mainstream news outlets to talk of a continuing "religious Ultra-Orthodox Israelis have become an increasingly powerful political force [Reuters] Irvine, California - I can think of about four million Palestinians who can sympathise with Naama Margolese, the eight-year-old Israeli girl, whose routine humiliation by ultra-Orthodox Israelis on her way to school has "shocked" the nation, uniting the majority of Jewish Israelis in anger at the growing power of harshly conservative Jewish movements in the country. But you won't be hearing from them any time soon the way this story is being presented. Coming on the heels of the unprecedented and largely secular protests this past summer in Tel Aviv and other cities to press for affordable housing and "social justice" more broadly, and the recent attacks by extremist settlers against Israeli soldiers, this latest conflict has led many mainstream news outlets to talk of a continuing "religious war" in Israel, pitting secular and moderately religious Jews against an increasingly assertive, militant and expanding ultra-Orthodox sector. "It doesn't matter what I look like, someone should be able to walk around in sleeveless shirts and pants, and be able to walk down the street and not be harassed," the young girl's Chicago-born mother, Hadassa, explained. Of course, Palestinians couldn't agree more. But somehow, the vast majority of the Israeli and Western mainstream media seems unaware of the obviously parallels between the treatment of Naama Margolese and Israeli girls and women more broadly by ultra-Orthodox, and the treatment of millions of Palestinians by Israel. Even the most recent Haaretz editorial criticising the growing militarism and violence of the ultra-Orthodox did not mention Palestinians. Unpleasant images In fact, as unpleasant as are the images of a young Jewish girl being screamed and even spit at by Israeli Jewish Taliban, it is still preferable from the point of view of Israel's propaganda efforts to being confronted with heartrending images of Jews attacking Palestinians, never mind religious settlers attacking of young Palestinian children, which is a routine occurrence in the Occupied Territories. It is ironic that today Jewish-on-Jewish conflict is, from a certain perspective, preferable (at least at the level of spectacle) to Jewish-Palestinian conflict, because for several decades, part of the accepted wisdom surrounding the unwillingness of Israelis to reach a viable peace agreement with Palestinians was that doing so would lead to an untenable level of conflict, and even civil war, within Jewish Israeli society. The alternative to focusing on this story would be a focus on Israeli High Court's determination on Tuesday that Israel can continue to exploit Palestinian mines and other resources for the benefit of Israelis, even though this is a direct contravention of international law. Or to read an email about a young Palestinian boy, so frightened by Israeli soldiers who have given his family 10 minutes to get their belongings out of their house before it's to be demolished that he stood, shivering outside, wetting his pants. The list goes on and on; all of it, tragically, far worse than the already deplorable hatred and discrimination that Naama has daily faced, just for being a girl. Sacred women The Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben has described the figure of the "homo sacer", or sacred man, who from ancient Rome to the Middle Ages, and again today, is considered completely outside the law and deprived of all rights of citizenship. He can therefore be killed with impunity, not merely by representatives of the state (the police or army, for example), but by anyone. Jews and Roma during the Holocaust are the modern epitome of the homo sacer, as are, to a greater or lesser degree, all colonised people, including - and particularly, today, Palestinians, as the South African theorist Achille Mbembe has shown in his work on necropolitics as well as Irish human rights scholar John Reynolds. But there is a specific manner in which what I would term the "femina sacra", or sacred woman, is also a primary object of violence, whether in Israeli, Palestinian, Egyptian or most other societies for that matter. The much publicised recent army and police violence against women in Egypt is a good example of how, once the general public loses fear of state violence, the state must press even harder by specifically attacking the repository of honour and values - female citizens - as a way of attempting to break down the resistance of society as a whole. Of course, it rarely works, but equally and perhaps even more powerful is when in the public sphere men push with increasing force to exclude women. And so, as I write this, a female Israeli soldier was accosted on a bus by an ultra-Orthodox man who called her both a prostitute and a "shiksa", or non-Jewish woman. Her presence in his space automatically rendered her outside the bounds of the community. The link between such an attitude and those of Hamas, which began its existence a generation ago by throwing acid on women it considered to be dressed immodestly, are clear. Too many Israelis still don't understand this reality - although the ultra-Orthodox man who screamed "This is Iran" at a reporter in Beit Shemesh certainly does. Two male conductors, rushed to aid the young woman, yelled at the man: "'Why are you shouting, she's a soldier!" as if her defence of a state they don't recognise outweighs the perceived crime of being a woman challenging their dominance of public space. It doesn't, and their attitude reveals that a society whose identity is so deeply rooted in its exclusion of the Other will ultimately wind up at war with itself. Israeli President Shimon Peres declared solemnly that Israelis are "fighting for the soul of the nation and the essence of the state", while a member of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party declared that the harassment the young girl faces "have no place in sane and moderate Judaism". Excluding women from the full rights of citizenship or the realisation of their humanity - at least as that humanity has come to be nearly universally accepted and codified in international law - is, as one sign held up by a female protester in Bet Shemesh against the ultra-Orthodox put it, "my red line". Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu declared: "Israel is a democratic, Western, liberal state... In a Western liberal democracy, public space is open and safe for all - men and women alike - and has no room for any harassment or discrimination." Neither western nor liberal Of course, Netanyahu is lying. Israel is not democratic in any meaningful sense if one considers that millions of Palestinians under its control for decades have been deprived of citizenship and its attendant rights - a society in which anyway, from elderly man to young girl can become "sacred" - that is, outside the bounds of civilised law, at any moment. Nor is it Western in any meaningful sense in that it has honoured the core ideal of Western modernity largely in the breach (which, of course, only makes it a microcosm of the West writ large). And while gays might have rights - at least in Tel Aviv, for now - it cannot be considered liberal from any perspective when it so thoroughly violates the rights of millions of people.But as long as Palestinians are absent from the conversation, as long as the focus is on Naama Margolese and the reprehensible conduct towards her, then the fiction that there is still a struggle to be had for Israel's "soul" can be maintained. Of course, for some adult ultra-Orthodox women in Beit Shemesh, being forced to the back of buses and being prevented from walking on the same side of the street as men or being attacked for not dressing modestly enough is not a problem. "I feel uncomfortable when men look at me," one woman declared in explaining why she doesn't mind being segregated away from men. We can debate whether the woman who isn't bothered by segregation or the back of the bus is making a free judgment, or has been so cowed by living in an extremely patriarchal and repressive community that she has internalised male dominance to the point of accepting it as both a given and a source of protection - just as so many Muslim women accept and even defend their second class status in countries across the region. But free adults at least have, in theory, a choice. Naama Margolese has clearly not been socialised into the values of this community, and feels frightened and excluded by what its members are trying to impose on her. Recognising shared oppression As her mother complained, "they" want to "push us out of" and "take over the city". This is, of course, a lament which untold numbers of Palestinians can appreciate, from residents of Jaffa pushed out to make way for expensive condominiums to Bedouins whose villages remain unrecognised when their lands aren't being further expropriated to the millions of Palestinians across the Green Line and in exile. If Israel is to have a chance at surviving as some approximation of the "Jewish democratic state" envisioned by its founders, Jewish Israelis, like Hadassa Margolese and the protesters on behalf of her daughter, or the J20 protesters this summer who took to the streets in huge numbers for "social justice", are all going to have to accept that the injustices against which they are fighting are inseparable from the injustice their society as a whole continues to inflict, far more intensely, upon Palestinians. I won't get my hopes up for the adults accepting and acting upon this reality any time soon. But as she grows up, we can hope that Naama's firsthand experience of exclusion, oppression, bigotry and even hatred, will help her see the equal humanity of the Israeli Other - Palestinians - more fully than her parent's generation has been able to do. If that can happen, then however unacceptable Naama Margolese's experience, it will have prepared her for the even greater struggle for full democracy for all the people, men and women, Israelis and Palestinians, living between the River and the Sea, that will soon enough be her generation's to assume.

text: We don't often think of higher education as a political special interest. In an editorial on their new product Atlas, however, the nonprofit think tank New America waxes poetic and economic on the power of institutions of higher education in politics. Atlas divides the US by congressional district and provides a higher education overview of the district: the number of colleges and universities there, those universities' total expenditures, their employees, and their Pell grants. With an aim to understand their economic and political influence, Atlas scrutinizes their dollars. New America describes itself as being dedicated to the "renewal of American politics, prosperity, and purpose in the Digital Age."

The undersigned, acting under delegated authority, has fully considered all relevant facts and information relating to the factors of Section 6 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act regarding the application for Federal deposit insurance and consent to exercise full trust powers for U.S. Trust Company of North Carolina, an operating noninsured state chartered bank operating as a nondepository trust company located at 301 North Elm Street, Greensboro, North Carolina, and has concluded that the applications should be approved.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED, for the reasons set forth in the attached Statement, that the applications submitted by U.S. Trust Company of North Carolina for Federal deposit insurance and for consent to exercise full trust powers be and the same hereby are approved subject to the following conditions:
1. That the Tier 1 capital to assets leverage ratio will be maintained at not less than eight percent throughout the first three years of operation and that an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses will be provided;
2. That any changes in proposed management or proposed ownership (10 percent or more of stock including new acquisitions of or subscriptions to 10 percent or more of the stock), will render this commitment null and void unless any such change in proposed management or proposed ownership is approved by the FDIC prior to the opening of the depository institution;
3. That the applicant will continue using an accrual accounting system to maintain the books of the depository institution;
4. The applicant will have adequate fidelity coverage;
5. That the depository institution will obtain an audit of its financial statements by an independent public accountant annually for at least the first three years after deposit insurance is effective, furnish a copy of any reports by the independent auditor (including any management letters) to the New York Regional Director within 15 days after their receipt by the depository institution and notify the New York Regional Director within 15 days when a change in its independent auditor occurs;

7. That the bank shall operate within the parameters of the business plan submitted to the FDIC. Furthermore, during the first three years of operations, the bank shall notify the New York Regional Director of any proposed major deviation or material change from the submitted plan 60 days before consummation of the change; and,
8. That if Federal deposit insurance has not become effective within twelve months from the date of the ORDER, or unless, in the meantime, the FDIC approves a request for an extension of time, the consent granted shall expire at the end of the said twelve-month period.
Dated at Washington, D.C., this day of June, 2000.
By: John M. Lane Associate Director Division of Supervision
Pursuant to the provision of Section 5 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. ? 1815), an application for Federal deposit insurance has been filed for U.S. Trust Company of North Carolina, an operating noninsured state chartered bank operating as a nondepository trust company located at 301 North Elm Street, Greensboro, North Carolina. Additionally, the institution has filed an application for consent to exercise full trust powers.
U.S. Trust Company of North Carolina is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NCT Holdings, Inc., Greensboro, North Carolina. NCT Holdings, Inc., is a wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. Trust Corporation, a $4.9 billion multi-bank holding company headquartered in New York, New York. Through its subsidiaries, U.S. Trust Corporation specializes in asset management, private banking, and fiduciary services. The company serves affluent individuals, families, and institutions nationwide through its regional banking subsidiaries and limited purpose trust companies located in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, California, Oregon, and Washington, D.C. Each banking subsidiary has full banking and trust powers.
U.S. Trust Company of North Carolina was granted a limited purpose bank charter in 1983 as North Carolina Trust Company by the State of North Carolina Office of the Commissioner of Banks. The company opened for business in January 1984, providing high net worth individuals and their families, trusts and estates, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans with investment management, comprehensive planning, and fiduciary services. U.S. Trust Company of North Carolina's business grew to more than $2.5 billion in assets under management by August 1999.
Upon receipt of the necessary approvals, U.S. Trust Company of North Carolina proposes to operate as a nontraditional state nonmember commercial bank with full trust powers. It will offer private banking services only to depositors that have a net worth of at least $250,000, and who will use trust, investment advisory, and asset management services. Deposit products will include Federally insured checking accounts and money market accounts. Credit services to be offered include residential mortgages and other loans secured by real estate, at either fixed or floating interest rates. In addition, lines of credit as well as other secured and unsecured loan products will be offered. However, these services will be offered on accommodation basis for customers that use other services.
As of December 31, 1999, equity capital totaled $36,342 thousand. For regulatory capital purposes, goodwill totaling $31,706 thousand and a disallowed deferred tax asset of $361 thousand are deducted to arrive at U.S. Trust Company of North Carolina's capital levels and ratios. As of December 31, 1999, it had $4,275 thousand in Tier 1 and Total capital. Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based, and Total risk-based capital ratios are 62.66%, 87.44%, and 87.44%, respectively. Pursuant to North Carolina banking statute, the Commissioner of Banks may determine the minimum capital amount required on a case-by-case basis, depending on the risk profile of the institution. The Commissioner has determined that U.S. Trust Company of North Carolina's current capital level, after deducting all intangibles, is adequate and acceptable for its risk profile.
On November 2, 1999, a public hearing was held on U.S. Trust Company of North Carolina's application to convert from a state-chartered nondepository trust company to a state-chartered bank before the State of North Carolina Office of the Commissioner of Banks. On November 17, 1999, the commissioner approved the applicant's charter conversion to a state-chartered commercial bank.
U.S. Trust Company of North Carolina's capital, management, financial history, future earnings prospects, ability to meet the convenience and needs of the community, consistency of corporate powers, and the risk to the Bank Insurance Fund are acceptable.
Accordingly, based upon careful evaluation of all available facts and information, the Associate Director, acting under delegated authority, has concluded that approval of the application is warranted, subject to the conditions enumerated in the ORDER.

This not only makes for a safe boat offshore it also allows her to stay on her feet in a blow and point high.

After leaving the spacious cockpit, you descend the teak companionway staircase into the main saloon. Using her full 14 ft 6 in beam to its maximum advantage, this area is spacious enough to accommodate a very large family or crew without feeling crowded. The use of fine teak joinery and the teak and holly sole gives this area a very warm nautical feeling and reminds one of fine furniture.
Aft are the port and starboard double cabins, each with its own head and shower!
Befitting her long distance cruising pedigree there is a fully equipped navigation station to starboard. The large Teak Nav desk allows proper chart work and you have all modern electronic aids to navigation within easy reach while seated. There is plenty of storage here for all your charts, coast pilots and cruising guides.
The U shaped galley is to starboard and features both a top loading freezer and front opening fridge. There is a double sink and plenty of counter space for preparing meals for the crew.
Across from the galley is the beautiful settee area. A large teak table and seating for ten makes this the social area of the boat! Enjoy a gourmet meal or sit back and watch a movie on the flat screen TV! And if four cabins are not enough for all your crew this settee converts into a large berth also.
The owner has recently replaced the salon upholstery with high-quality ultraleather cushions!
Continuing forward brings you to the full-width master cabin with a queen berth to port and a sofa/pilot berth to starboard with lots of storage. This area also features its own head with shower.
Proceeding further forward brings you to the connecting bow cabin -- perfect to give the kids their own space close by.
All of this expansive living space is kept warm and dry by a newer (2010) Espar hydronic heating system installed for our NW sailing conditions! When you venture South you will appreciate the 19 opening hatches for excellent ventilation and the high output fans in each cabin.
While designed and equipped for long distance passage making, she is also a fine yacht to explore the San Juan Islands with family and friends.
With all her space she would also make an excellent live-aboard while you plan your next voyage!

Broker's Comments
Bavaria Yachts have a proud history in Europe and a much-deserved reputation for building tough and no-nonsense long-distance cruisers. While sturdily built, they also have good speed and sail characteristics. Compare her to some other boats in her class like Jeanneau or Benetau and you will notice subtle but important differences.
For instance the precise German engineering and production methods allow building a strong rigid hull without unneeded extra weight. Some of the weight saved is then but back into her deep fin keel. This gives her a high ballast to weight ratio for safe offshore work but also allows good light air performance.
This Bavaria 49, with its high aspect ratio Seldon rig and long waterline will easily sail at half the apparent wind speed, making her a swift passage maker and a fun and responsive day-sailer as well!
This particular Bavaria 49 was purchased by a knowledgeable Norwegian family. After careful preparation and updating with the latest electronics and safety gear she proved herself with a swift and uneventful Atlantic crossing to the Caribbean in 2009. After fulfilling that owner's dream to cross the Atlantic she was sold to her present owner who wanted a safe and enjoyable yacht to share with his wife and three children and they spent a year sailing together in the Caribbean. When it was time to return home to Seattle they had the boat trucked here to continue the adventure. Work and school obligations have changed the plan and she is reluctantly for sale.
Continuously updated (new salon upholstery and new canvas most recently), she is ready to leave immediately and carry another family off to realize their dream of sailing away on a great adventure. Load the provisions and top off the tanks and you could be underway.
Don't miss this opportunity to get a well-equipped, ready-to-go late-model world cruiser at a remarkable price.
