We have written May words before about the simple awesomeness of mountain biking in the Upper Mustang Region. This natural desert like area abounds with trails, single tracks and challenging passes with some very very spectacular scenery along the way. But to make it even more special, in the month of May, during the Full Moon the local people celebrate the Tiji Festival. Tiji is one of the most colorful and authentic Buddhist Festivals in Nepal and it makes a special trip in Upper Mustang even more spectacular and memorable.
Its a three-day ritual known as "The chasing of the Demons" that centers on the Tiji myth. The myth tells of a deity named Dorje Jono who must battle against his demon father to save the Kingdom of Mustang from destruction. The demon father wreaked havoc on Mustang by bringing a shortage of water (a highly precious resource in this very dry land) and causing many resulting disasters from famine to animal loss. Dorje Jono eventually beats the demon and banishes him from the land. Tiji is a celebration and reaffirmation of this myth and throughout the festival the various scenes of the myth will be enacted. It is of course timed to coincide with the end of the dry winter / spring season and will usher in the wetter monsoon season (the growing season for Mustang).
Tiji comes from the word "ten che" meaning the hope of Buddha Dharma prevailing in all worlds and is effectively a spring renewal festival. Its a colourful festvvial of dancing demons, horse back riding and racing and many other local tradition, surely an added highlight to any mountain bike trip in the Upper Mustang Region.

Cheap cell phones in Istanbul
Does anyone know where I can get a cheap Turkish phone so that I don't have to go through registering my foreign phone in Turkey? I live in Kadikoy and really just need a phone for calling and texting so a used phone is fine but I'm not sure if I can trust the people that sell phones on the streets?
Thanks for your input!

For Christmas in 1980 I bought my sweetie a cookbook full of clam recipes. It is one of the few cookbooks of the MANY I have owned that I still keep and use, a well worn copy of The Clam Lover's Cookbook by William Flagg. My chowder guide is in here, as is my favorite clam dip recipe. Which was devoured yesterday in a futile effort to help Tom Brady rescue the Patriots. Alas, the mile high broncs prevailed, but for fellow New Englander Julie Blenn, who did her darnedest to catch up to us in dip consumption, here is the recipe for Clam Dip 1 (yes, there is Clam Dip 2 as well as two more):
2 packages cream cheese (3 oz each) note: I use one neufchatel 8 oz package
1 Tbs Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tbs lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced or 1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1 Tbsp Horseradish (shameless plug for our local Pacific Crest Pub horseradish, which may or may not still exist since the Pacific Crest Pub is now under new name and new ownership...research due)
1/4 tsp mustard powder
1 Tbsp minced onion
3 drops Tabasco sauce (or more)
2 Tbsp clam juice (reserved from canned clams)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 can minced clams, liquid reserved
1 tsp chopped chives
Place all through Tabasco into mixing bowl. Use electric mixer at low speed until blended. Add clam juice and mix. Add sour cream, mix until consistency of whipped cream. Add clams, blend at low speed. Add chives, blend only until mixed. Pour into serving dish and mound up. Chill half hour. Sprinkle with paprika. Garnish with chives, parsley, pimento, sliced onion or small whole clams. I sprinkle paprika and call it good.
Serve with potato chips. Recipe says saltines or potato chips, but who are we kidding? Hell, I can eat this with a spoon. Forget the chips!

Happy New Year!
|Mom celebrating her new hip on Xmas Eve
But I got a nudge, and I will start off 2014 with good intentions. I've had an infusion of Boston energy after a month's visit to help Mom recover from hip replacement surgery. She's 86, and has had trouble walking since Dad entered his end zone 3 years ago. She finally had enough. She missed her mobility, driving her car, visiting friends, and the walls were closing in. I am happy to say she sailed through the surgery, and is working on walking with a cane with her visiting PT. When the weather becomes more cooperative in Boston, I am sure she'll be out and about in no time.
So the next few posts will catch you up on a just few significant events of the last 6 months.

As someone who has straddled the roles of physician, hospital vice president, CIO and CMIO, I know all too well the scenarios that play out every year at budget time in the hospital board room. Radiologists want the latest scanners. Surgeons are demanding new anesthesia machines. Nurses are requesting next generation infusion pumps for the ICU. Oh, and you Mr. CIO, you'd like to buy new servers, upgrade the network, deploy wireless, and institute a data recovery center. Guess who usually wins this boardroom grab for the gold? Not you Mr. CIO. You are usually last on the list.
How many times have you been challenged to do more, with more? I suspect not all that often. Healthcare is a challenging business with most hospitals running on thin margins, if they have margins at all. When there is money for capital improvements, the first priority is patient care and the expensive technology that enables it.
So where does this leave the CIO? How do you manage the demand for better IT? How do you meet the ever-increasing expectations of doctors, nurses, and other staff? What tools can be applied to drive greater efficiency into your operations? How can you get more from the hardware and software you buy? How do you get greater flexibility, redundancy, and reliability from your IT systems? How do you manage power consumption, and comply with your organization's green imperatives? How do you do more with less?
The cover story in the August 2008 edition of Hospitals and Health Networks focuses on the national environmental movement and how hospitals are finding themselves at the center of this imperative to "think green". The timing was right in step with a new article I just released as part of my House Calls for Healthcare Professionals series. The title of the article is Laying a Foundation for Better Care; Optimizing your healthcare IT infrastructure for improved performance and lower costs. It's a strategy that helps you squeeze quite bit more from what you have and manage it all much more efficiently. It is also a strategy that pays off handsomely by reducing the power load from all those servers in your data center.
To learn more and read what some of our customers are saying about the savings that can be realized through infrastructure optimization, click here.
And the next time you find yourself in the board room making a plea for what you need, just say "it's for the environment". Think green! Now who could argue with that?

"Then God said, 'Let there be light'; and there was light. And God saw
the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day (Gen. 1:3-5, NKJV). What do these verses teach us about the first day of Creation?
Numerous points can be inferred from this passage.
First, light appeared in response to God's command. God's word is effective in determining the state of the Creation.
Second, the light was "good." We may wonder why the text says that God "saw" the light; is there any doubt that God sees everything? The point is that the light made by God was good, even in God's eyes. We know that the light is good because God Himself evaluated it as such.
Another point is that God divided the light from the darkness. Both light and darkness are under God's control, and neither one makes any difference to His activity and knowledge (see Ps. 139:12). God gave names to the dark and light portions of time, calling them "day" and "night." God has the right to give names to periods of time because He is the Creator of time. As Sovereign over time, God is not limited by time. Rather, time depends on God.
Another point of this passage is that there was a period of darkness and a period of light that together comprised a day. Much has been written about the meaning of "day" in the Creation story. We will consider this question later, but we note in passing that the first day was composed of a period of darkness and a period of light, in the same way that we observe days now.
Also, light is one of the features that accompanies the presence of God. We do not need to suppose that light was invented on the first day of Creation, since God existed before the earth was created and His presence is often associated with light (1 John 1:5, Rev. 22:5). At Creation, light was introduced to the previously dark planet.
How, though, could there be day and night before the introduction of the sun into the Creation account? Moses surely knew the connection between the sun and daylight. Yet, despite that obvious knowledge, he wrote what he did about the light and darkness on the first day. God must have given him knowledge about Creation that, at present, we don't understand, knowledge that cannot be discerned from looking at the natural world. Why, though, shouldn't we be surprised that some things about Creation remain a mystery?

From November 30 to December 11, 196 delegates representing every state in the United Nations will get together in the Parisian suburb of Le Bourget to attempt to come to an agreement on CO2 emissions and Climate Change. The objective of the meeting is to reach a multilateral, global agreement to curb carbon dioxide emissions to keep global temperatures from rising more than 2ºC above pre-industrial temperature averages. The consensus in the scientific community is that any rise beyond that will catastrophically and irreversibly alter our planet's climate and create a world that is much less friendly and conducive to our well-being.
Climate Change Goes Mainstream
If you read stories about the Paris meeting in the media and you'll perceive there's an air of finality surrounding them. This is because after two decades of failing to come to a meaningful agreement, for the first time ever there appears to be a growing social awareness of the issue – one that is driven by the scientific consensus finally beginning to permeate society, but also by people directly feeling the impacts of climate change in the form of more super storms, more floods, more forest fires, less glaciers, less snow, less rain, and a range of other phenomena. While it can't be proven without a doubt that these events are the direct result of climate change anyone that follows the global news cycle would be hard pressed to deny that there's some sort of trend in motion. Consider the data about the hottest years on record: 3 of the hottest years since we started taking in measurements in 1880 have come in the last 5 years, specifically 2010, 2013 and 2014. And that doesn't take into account the current year 2015, which with two months to go is predicted to become the hottest on record pushing the figure to 4 out of the top 5.
These types of incontrovertible facts, that can be felt and experienced by people, are arguably more important than scientific reports. Day to day experiences of the effects of climate change have created a groundswell of climate activism on a global scale, with more and more grassroots organizations on all continents getting involved and making their voices heard in the political sphere.
The recent revelation that Exxon knew about climate change in 1981, factoring it into its strategic decision making while at the same time generously funding climate-deniers and lobbyists, shows us that the fossil fuel industry won't go down without a fight. But our current outlook is better than it has ever been and we can happily claim that world leaders are beginning to feel the heat.
The Movement to Divest From Fossil Fuels
Perhaps one of the most exciting things happening right now in the climate battle is the global movement to divest from fossil fuels. Over the last year thousands of institutional investors, private organizations, and public figures have committed to taking their money out of environmentally damaging holdings. The reason is simple: there are no better means to oppose the fossil fuel industry than those provided by the market itself. And so far it has been effective. At a recent press conference in New York numerous institutions and famous public figures such as actor Leonardo DiCaprio committed to withdrawing up to $2.6tn in investments from fossil fuel assets. According to a report by investment consultancy Arabella Advisors, the divestment movement has grown fifty-fold over the past year – if this were a discussion of digital marketing we would be talking about divestment going viral. The level of attention these gestures by leading public figures are drawing is just important as the money itself, as it pushes society at large to acknowledge the issue.
But divestment isn't only a moral decision. As the Paris talks approach and the belief that world leaders may begin to take more serious action on Climate Change increases, there is real financial risk for individuals and organizations that have put money into fossil fuels. One group is UK government employees, whose pension funds are said to hold £231bn in assets, of which £14bn are fossil fuel investments. If a changing political and regulatory landscape affects the valuation of fossil fuel resources, or outright bans the extraction of large segments of proven reserves, the holders of these assets stand to lose a significant amount of money.
Two leading institutions that are beginning to work on divestment strategies are the UK's most renowned universities, Oxford and Cambridge. Together, they hold endowment funds worth close to £10bn, and under increasing pressure from student activists, alumni, and academics they are moving in the direction of divestment from fossil fuels. Oxford has already committed to cease investing in coal and tar sands, but not to totally divest from fossil fuels, while Cambridge has formed a working group to study divestment and submit new investment policy guidelines. For activists these measures are still not a total victory, but they are a step in the right direction, and one that is being echoed all over the world as other major educational institutions do the same.
The 2ºC Goal
Two degrees Celsius sounds insignificant. It's the difference between being comfortable and mildly hot on a bright Spring day. The difference between an ice cream being firm and mushy. But on a global scale, having 2 degree-higher average temperatures will be a disaster. The worst effects of climate change will be triggered if we activate a series of climate feedback loops that scientists have identified. A feedback loop is a mechanism in our climate system that is self-reinforcing, like the melting of arctic ice. Ice is light coloured and reflective, so it absorbs little sunlight and it bounces a lot of it back into space. However through atmospheric warming we have already lost a large amount of the polar icecap, which has uncovered the much darker coloured and less reflective ocean below. This body of water takes in more sunlight and reflects less back into space, resulting in more warming, which in turn results in more ice melting. If current shrinkage trends persist, it is believed the North Pole will have entirely ice-free Summers by 2040 – and that is if they don't accelerate. Melting of the polar ice caps and of Greenland's massive ice sheet would result in sea levels rising significantly, and this would have consequences on a broader scale than anything we've experienced before; it would affect our entire civilization. And higher sea levels won't come alone. Increased atmospheric temperatures would also melt mountain glaciers on which many countries rely for potable water. It would throw our agricultural system into chaos, as crops would be impacted by unstable weather conditions and would be more vulnerable to viruses and parasites as well as excessive or insufficient precipitation. We would see an increase in severe drought and rain episodes, like the massive floods that have recently affected the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, or the worst drought in California's recorded history, which has lasted 4 years and has large portions of the state on water rationing.
In short, it's a scenario that must be avoided at all costs, and to do so we will need a strong commitment from world leaders to substantive climate action. This means halting development of new fossil fuel reserves and increasing investment into renewable energy generation while at the same time offering solutions to third world and developing nations that have contributed the least to carbon emissions and are going to be affected the most by climate change. This presents a big opportunity, because like with telephone access, where much of the developing world simply skipped land lines and went directly to cell phones, countries with embryonic energy grids offer the possibility of building renewables first.
The world's two leading carbon emitters, China and the United States, will need to make big changes to their energy policies. Between the two, they produce approximately 15 billion tonnes of CO2 a year, about 45% of global emissions. To stop Climate Change not only must they and the rest of the world commit to an emissions freeze, halting carbon emissions growth completely, but also to massive decarbonization over the next few decades. We know this is technically achievable, the question is will the delegates in Paris be willing to take the necessary steps. Going on past summits we shouldn't get our hopes up, but as we discussed above, the climate around this meeting is different.
If there's one thing common trait of political leaders that deserves criticism it is their fixation on the economics of everything – "How will saving the world from environmental disaster affect GDP and unemployment?†…but that's not the right question, the right question is "what will be the cost of doing nothing?†or, as long as we're talking economics, "How expensive will it be to live on a planet that no longer welcomes us?â€
The result of this meeting can't be another agreement to reach an agreement at some indeterminate point in the future. We need climate action now.

Received book from author for review.
Sin's work is never done...Working for the devil is not easy. You see Ava works for Lucifer himself and she's found herself in a bit of a bind. She fell for an angel and Lucifer thinks that Ava has told him a very important secret, that Ava is a Sin. Yes, one of the 7 Deadly Sins. This information is to be kept secret and because he thinks that she's told her lover, she is fired from her job. Because her life may be in danger, she decides to go on the run and ends up running into an old friend of hers. Dante and Ava have been friends for thousands of years and he's had feeling for her for a while. Instead of telling her, he hides it behind a wall of jokes and smart comments. But when he realizes that he is the only one helping Ava he decides to let her know how he feels.
Ava should know. For nearly two thousand years, she's worked for Lucifer himself, infecting the heart of man with greed wherever she goes. She wasn't prepared to fall in love, certainly not with an angel. And she definitely wasn't ready to experience her first broken heart after her angel breaks things off in the form of a Dear Jane letter.
Now Ava has a problem. Lucifer believes she might have shared some of Hell's secrets with her former lover, and her siblings face the possibility of being out of a job due to her indiscretion. Ava flees to the American South, hoping to slip off the radar and is met by a longtime friend, a vampire named Dante. Granted, Ava doesn't know Dante has been in love with her for centuries, and doesn't understand why he won't leave her alone no matter what comes after her.
With Hell on her trail, Ava's running short on friends. Meanwhile, she can't ignore the suggestive looks Dante keeps sending her way. Something tells her it doesn't take Hell to get things hot…
I loved Dante's character from the moment he showed up on the first page. He's a loyal friend to Ava and truly cares for her. I could feel his disappointment in learning that he was not Ava's first and felt sorry for him when he realized this. Although he wasn't Ava's first, he was her first in many other things. There were some hot sex scenes between the two of them once the give into their attraction to one another and let's just say that Dante has a very talented...tongue. Yes folks, it's so amazing that he has his own hashtag on Twitter (#Dantetonguelove). The only problem I had with Dante is that he talked a little too much for me in one of the sex scenes. I'm all for a man teasing a woman to the point of begging, but he teased a little to much for me and it took away from the heat of the scene.
I liked the concept of the book with the 7 Deadly Sins being people and thought it was different. I also Rosalie's writing style and thought that the book flowed easily. I hope she is planning on continuing this concept in other future releases. It'll be interesting to see what kind of fun the different Sin's can get into.
I'm giving Lost Wages of Sin a rating of:

From cover to cover there is nothing the contradicts itself. Not bad for 40 men over a period of 1500 years where ALL subjects, prophecies, and evidence agrees. They wrote it in three very different languages lived on three different continents. The authors of the Bible lived in very different time periods, very different places, and had different occupations yet they somehow created the only text to never be proven wrong...
There is no evidence unearthed that has ever shown the Bible to be false. In other words, every artifact and piece of literature recovered through archaeology or otherwise has either lined up with what the Bible says or has no relevance to the Bible or the people and places mentioned in the Bible. If contradictory evidence was available, then it would be more prudent to say that the Bible is not historically accurate, but as it stands, there is no such evidence.
Do Egyptians exist? Sure, and they have a history. The Bible speaks of Egyptians and because of that it is clear that the Bible has historical credibility. That's a simple example that anyone can see the logic in.
Sodom and Gomorrah are cities in the Bible. Do they exist? Yes, archeologists have shown them to exist.
So, is the Bible historically accurate? As far as archeologists have dug... Absolutely.
What about the nay sayers? The ones who question the things that archeologist haven't found? To them I say... Wait and let's see. Just because those things haven't been found doesn't discredit the Bible's historical accuracy... It could easily be said that those things just haven't been found.
Basic logic people, let's use that. Also, it helps that part of my conversion was due to actually praying and asking God for a spiritual vision and actually getting one. Hence, my inclination that God exists and as a result the Bible WOULD be accurate. (shrugs)
The Bible, with all of its vastness and details stays consistent. It always supports itself, each book agrees with the rest, each other has something to say but he never goes against what any of the others said...in the old testament the others never even met each other. How do you think that happened if it was not the work of God??? men, are sinful, prideful and don't always agree.

Many Biblical events have been identified and demonstrated true. Even though there are still many which have not been proved yet, they will also be proven with time and development of science. It shouldn't be said that the Bible is historically inaccurate, because there are many which have not been proved. The accuracy of the Bible can be denied only when its inaccuracy is proven.
Based on all the historical evidence available, the Bible is an accurate source of historical knowledge. It has been recognized by historians as an important historical artifact and has even contributed greatly to certain archeological and historical findings. Compared to other accounts and texts of the times, such as Josephus', it fits perfectly into the puzzle of history. Although there is much controversy over the supernatural aspects, they have never been disproved, although considered scientifically implausible. This does not take away from the confirmed historical accurateness of the majority of the text.
For one, till this day proof of roman occupation of Israel is highly evident, but New testament is a message to a better world to be grateful that a man if you would call him a man (Jospeh Flavius) Would perform miracles to save lives of a corrupted people. Who were tempted by other faiths. You may call Jesus the first anti-capitalist for the once holy temple was turned into a den of thieves. Overall Jesus hated how corrupted the Jewish people became. Jesus was highly educated, and knowing many things he impressed the Pharisees and even all authority. This world is about impression, and the idea that Jesus would give up his immortality on earth to die on the cross and become the true son of god if not the almighty god for he is all three in one. Can give you many bible lessons, but it is far more complex than you think. A christian can fill in the gaps of the bible, and even right a new book on a new abrahamic religion, but he is not a christian if he does not adhere to the true meaning of what god is and what god's purpose is. We can interpret the bible in all so many ways, but we still have that one simple problem, but one simple message. "We are saved from ourselves.

This is just a tidbit
Please google Solomon as well or any others you would like.
As a scientist you know as well as I do that you must examine both sides. Keep in mind that there are tons of interpretations out there and some languages don't have words that match precisely.
Jesus existed, that is a fact look it up too before coming on here.
Scientists once thought the world was flat and laughed at people who thought it was round. All their evidence pointed to what they thought was irrevocable truth... We discover things and it shows new light, especially with history.
Scientists, I urge you to just keep a objective mind. Also as far as miracles explain to me why then, have I seen people survive when medically impossible multiple times. Ask any MD who has been one for more than a year. I guarantee they might convert over to believing in God after all the things they have seen that don't make sense.
Also look at the Jewish book the Torah and the muslims quaran... Interesting how they all are so much like the Bible!
Just coincidental that all these people from different areas believe the same stories?
You decide. Please look up evidence first though. You can be a scientist and believe in A higher power at the same time. If I had a choice of believing that there was someone who had a plan for me and that everything happened for a reason, or no god, no plan, no karma, just life is what it is without any point, I would pick option #1.
Christians should not get upset with questions or a good argument. They should listen and explore it. I'm sorry for all the crazies out there
All the places in the Bible are actual documented places. And Jesus's miracles do not need to be supported by science...Otherwise they wouldn't be miracles. Sure faith is needed to believe the Bible. Some argue that there is no physical evidence of God. I'd argue that everything is physical evidence of God. The trees...The birds...Etc.
I've already summed it all up in my title above. When I'm not on my iPad I might just respond to all of the no voters because they all have problems with their reasons for voting "No".
One example would be that the flood is not stated to have occurred in 2349 B.C. Furthermore, there is no incompatibility between the biblical account and an "Old Earth" view of creation. In fact, there are some good reasons to assume that the biblical account of creation is highly figurative.
Chyeri is mistaken - the burden of proof lies on him/her. We can safely assume that say, the miracles of Jesus, are false, given what we know about physics and science. Such outlandish claims that humans lived for hundreds of years demand a very high standard of evidence, and so far no such evidence exists. The entire story of creation is wrong. No flood ever occurred. The entire Jesus story wasn't even written down until generations after his death by people who weren't even there. And take the vast number of edits, translations, additions, subtractions, edits, translations, and other changes the Bible has gone under over time. Some people or places? Sure. But as a good record of history or even reality? Not a chance.
While the Bible does contain some historically accurate information, by and large it is either unverified or inaccurate based on what science, archeology, and other historical documents tell us. For example the stories in Genesis are not based on any sound history and according to science and archeology, completely false and implausible.
There are many chronological problems with the bible. For example Jericho fell many years before the Hebrew's supposedly left the Egypt. Another example is the fact that pre-roughly the 7th century BCE there was a city near Nazareth but around that time it fell and only until about 200 AD did anyone record anything about a new city at that location; so, essentially during the time of Jesus (and for about 200 year after him and about 700 year before him) there was no record of the city of Nazareth. Also there are many examples of a lack of supporting historical evidence. For example, there is no archaeological evidence of the Hebrews even being in Egypt none the less in being enslaved.
Even if we disregard all of the supernatural parts there are over 400 contradictions in the Bible. If the Bible can not even agree with itself then how can we trust it to provide an accurate description of history? Because it might have gotten a few names and places right it doesn't mean the rest of it is true.
I agree with the below comment. There are some areas of the Bible that do have a few truths to it for example a few people and places. However the vast majority of the Bible has not been scientifically true or been proven true by archaeologists. There is no independent historical confirmation that anyone named Abraham, or Moses, or Saul, or Daniel, or even Jesus ever actually lived. Many historians believe there wasn't even a town called Nazareth until the 4th century CE. Also in the Bible Noah was apparently alive for 600 plus years as were many other men.... sooooooo yesssssss. I would say due to the fact that Opium was drug of choice back then everyone was a bit out of it to account anything accurately :P
The bible should be read as literature. Any correlation with actual historical events is purely accidental. (Not my words). Any person of reason must suspend belief otherwise. It's value lies in the moral lessons imparted, not as a historical document. Revisions over the centuries to fit with dogma add to problem.
The new testament, written decades AFTER the life of Jesus, by people who weren't even there, ascribe thoughts and words to a guy - most often when he was ALONE! That there were thriving societies (including the 6th dynasty in Egypt) with uninterrupted historical records show that the flood story is not possible. And we STILL have no idea how kangaroos would be able to travel thousands of miles to what amounts to an island.....(another MIRACLE?) The bible's historical failure to mention dinosaurs notwithstanding. - While a collection of some good advice, and life lessons, it's not historical, and with that also, clearly no proof of a deity.
Talking snakes? TALKING.FRIGGIN.SNAKES, I mean really, who in their right mind would call a talking snake historically accurate? Crazy people that's who, guess disney's stories are also historically accurate since they also have talking non human animals, and then there is the flood, do you really think it's historically accurate for a guy to make a boat so big it could house MILLIONS of animals? No, just no that is ridiculous
One example of lack of evidence for even the existence of the gods are the discrepancies between the Quran and Christian Bible regarding Jesus. In the Islamic version Jesus is not a god but in the Christian Bible he is a god. Which witch is witch? Another example would be the existence of evil in the world. How is it that a supposedly all knowing, all loving, all benevolent deity would allow seemingly random acts of torture, malnutrition, war, painful and debilitating physical defects of newborns, and the countless other horrors inflicted on humankind? How is it possible to reconcile the all benevolent deity with the relentless suffering in the world. I suggest that we cannot. That no such god exists.
Please read "The Bible Unearthed" by Israel Finklestein, the leading archeology professor at Tel Aviv University. After decades of digging throughout the Middle East, the scholarly consensus is that the Israelites CREATED their own history. There was no Exodus, no Moses, no flood, no Abraham, no Davidic Kingdom and no Solomon. The Jews readily accept this and it's THEIR history. Now if we can just get Christians to come to terms with it we'll be making some progress.
As for the New Testament, read "Forged" by Professor Bart Ehrman. He doesn't state anything that modern scholarship doesn't already agree on. It will show you how contrived all of it really is. The bible is just a relic from an ancient civilization that has no bearing on the 21st century.

Ray: I thought Fantasyland was a part of Disneyland, but it's apparently part of the Arena District. Recently I read with astonishment that some members of the Jackets believe their record in overtime and shootouts and propensity for one-goal games are positives.
Top-tier teams do not go to OT/SO in 30 percent of their games. When top teams have an opponent down in the third period, they step on their neck (figuratively speaking, of course). When the Jackets have an opponent down in the third, they throw out a lifeline.
There may be some benefit playing one-goal games against elite teams. However, the Blue Jackets are playing close games against middling teams and worse. They are getting schooled against the top teams, consistently losing by two or three goals.
There is a difference between having a positive attitude and wearing rose-colored glasses. No problem will get rectified as long as deficiencies are considered assets.
Paul Burchett, Pickerington
Paul: I hear what you're saying, but I'm also not sure what good it would do the Blue Jackets to see that glass as half-empty — or 70 percent empty, as the case may be. Regardless, improvement required.
Ray: No one appreciates Tim May, perhaps the best beat writer in Ohio, more than I do. He is the consummate professional.
But he truly erred, or his editor erred, in (Monday's story) reporting the death of OSU great Jim Stillwagon. It was simply not necessary to discuss the buffoonery committed by law enforcement in Delaware and the Delaware County prosecutor in charging Jim with three faux felonies.
Why tarnish the entire story with a case that was dismissed? Had Jim been convicted, yes, put it in the story, but this prosecution was a travesty of justice and it was not necessary to recite these facts that caused Jim much angst and heartache. Jim deserved better from The Dispatch.
Bret Adams, Columbus
Bret: Our story dealt with the 2012 incident only at the very end of an 800-plus-word story, and clearly pointed out that the case was thrown out. Like it or not, it was big news when it happened and it would have irresponsible to ignore it.
Ray: It looks like wily old Jim Harbaugh outfoxed Urban Meyer again. He allowed his top recruit to sign with Georgia, thus costing OSU the mythical recruiting national championship. Very clever!
And again, he'll be able to play the underdog card next year and for years to come. He is, indeed, a very stable genius.
P.S.: Harbaugh is taking his team to France for spring break. If you're going to surrender, you might as well learn from the best. Brilliant!
Paul Birken, Columbus
Paul: That last one was a low blow, monsieur. No freedom fries for you.
Mr. Stein: I've watched OSU basketball all season and, as the season goes along, have grown into a Chris Holtmann fan.
It seems like after every big win, Holtmann goes out of his way to credit Thad Matta and his staff for the team's success. He is a class act.
Keith Crabtree, Reynoldsburg
Keith: I'm with you: I thought it was great as I watched it Wednesday. The man hasn't made many missteps yet.
Ray: Instead of courting Amazon to put their HQ2 in Columbus, can we get Gorilla Glue or Elmer's to build a plant here? The Blue Jackets are coming unglued — again.
Carl Bloecher, Upper Arlington
Editor: The Ohio State-Penn State meet (last Saturday) was the most anticipated wrestling dual in the past 10 years and there was not one mention either on Sunday or Monday regarding the match, not even a box score.
The meet came down to the last match and could not have been more exciting. The Big Ten and NCAA tournaments are going to be a coin flip between Ohio State and Penn State, hopefully The Dispatch will give them the proper coverage they deserve.
Matt Mossman, Dublin
Ray: Our Columbus Blue Jackets and fans are blessed to have Sergei Bobrovsky as our goalie. In addition to being recognized as one of the top-rated goalies worldwide, Bob has additional talents not seen by many fans.
During warmups, as well as in the minutes prior to upcoming periods, Bob displays additional talents worth the price of admission. His legs stretch like there is no cartilage attached. He moves side by side using his glove like he's catching butterflies, lightning bugs or hockey pucks!
With music blaring, No. 72 becomes a hockey helmet rock star!
Jim Kurtz, Sunbury
Mr. Stein: Did I miss something? Where has the NCAA been with the mess going on at Michigan State? The NCAA was all over OSU for tattoos. I don't believe there was a crime committed. Then they jumped on Penn State for the Sandusky deal.
Nassar committed felonies at MSU with coaches, trainers and staff being complicit. The president and athletic director both resigned. Are the rats abandoning ship to save themselves?
There is some chin music about the mishandling of sexual assault by both the basketball and football teams. Is this not out of control?
Maybe you can call your friends at the NCAA and let them know something may be going on at MSU.
Scott Jones, via email
Editor: Waste Management deserves a great deal of recognition for developing an outstanding golf tournament at the Phoenix Open. Their annual attendance has to be the envy of the tournament golf world. Over 400,000 fans on Friday and Saturday combined with a probable 200,000-plus attendance on Sunday has to be admired.
I believe it all began with the 20,000-seat fan stand erected around the three par No. 16 hole. There is no fan reverence to be found at that hole. Fan noise is constant. Great shots and bad shots are vociferously cheered and booed accordingly, and the golfers have begun to actively participate in the revelry. Many toss souvenirs into the stands on their way from tee to green.
Each year that fan revelry spreads to more and more golf holes during the tournament. Silence is maintained during the shots, but they are more and more vociferously cheered or booed depending upon the accuracy of the shot. The results seems to be a more relaxed and competitive player field which is evidenced by 14 players within 4 shots of the lead going into Sunday's round.
Wake up PGA and cash in!
Michael M. Lucas, Columbus
Editor: The Super Bowl was everything that is right and wrong about football in America today. It was one of the most exciting Super Bowls in a long time. Trick plays, gutsy calls, missed extra points and an exciting finish of the first half and a failed comeback by one of the best comeback quarterbacks in the game.
The game also highlighted what is wrong with football today. Canceling an ad from the American Legion that has been shown by all the other major sports programs shows just how out of touch football is with some of the fans.
We had the deliberate leading by helmet. A defender deliberately hitting a receiver with helmet to helmet contact who was clearly disoriented and defenseless. It sure looked like the defender was not trying to tackle the receiver and he wasn't trying to knock the ball out of his hands. It looked like he was deliberately trying to hurt the receiver and knock him out of the game.
On the same play we had spearing of a defensive lineman hitting the quarterback in the stomach with his helmet. He was not trying to tackle the quarterback. He was trying to knock him out of the game.
Leading by your helmet should be outlawed by both offensive and defensive players. It can lead to concussions and possible brain damage. Many parents don't want their children playing a game where the idea has become to hurt the other player instead of tackling him.
Then there was the famous is that a touchdown catch or not. Let's review it and see. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. I still don't know if it was a catch or not. But it would seem to me that a receiver must catch the ball with both feet touching in bounds or landing with control of the ball before he can score.
In other words, he has to catch the ball first just like on any other play. The ball crossing the plain of the goal line should apply to runners only. A receiver is not a runner until he has caught the ball. Make it simple for everyone.
So there you have it. A great game filled with all kinds of controversy to keep us talking until next year.
Brad Patch, Hilliard

Today, the gang raves about E3 trailers. We also Lament all the weird bollocks Lucas likes to slap into the Star Wars re-releases, look at guest announcements for SaskExpo, and generally do what we can to lower your expectations for the podcast. And of course, we pay tribute to wrestling legend Rowdy Roddy Piper. Plus, because we love you listeners so much, this episode has CRIPPLING AUDIO PROBLEMS. So if you enjoy people awkwardly fumbling and re-riffing riffs that had aleady been riffed, this one's for you.

Matt replaces the usual gang and goes on remote with drinking man's wargamer Stephen Beauchamp, IRL Green Army Man Dave Nelson; and local Flames of War demo guy Lance Mathew, who's like the wargaming version of the guy pushing crank in all those bad D.A.R.E. ads from the 80s.
Dice, measuring tape, and a never ending painting queue on this week's Nerdcore Cabaret!

While No Wings Attached is put on hold, being currently corrected, I'm using the time to crack on with the sequel. Here's a small excerpt of Chapter Eleven, first unedited draft. I'd love your opinions, so fire away. ;-)
I struggle and hiss, stomping and kicking in order to step on a foot of the guy whose arms are still locked around me. He curses and tightens his grip.
�Let go of me!� With as much force I can muster I knock back my head, hoping to smash his nose. Pain jolts through me.
He winces and pushes me forward. �You bitch!�
I open my eyes and see... nothing. It's dark, pitch black and it smells rank, like rotten moss, I hear water dripping, echoing from seemingly close walls. Knowing he's probably behind me, I carefully feel the ground under my feet, trying to get some more distance between us. Something wet touches my face and I bite my lip to suppress a scream, if I'm basically blind he won't be able to see either. What do I do, what do I do? What does he want? Am I allowed to use my powers to protect me? My heart thuds so heavily in my chest, I want to throw up. With my arms stretched out I inch forward.
Another curse from him. �That fucking bitch got my lip. It's bleeding.�
�Where is she now?� a second voice asks.
�Don't know, we'll find out in a second.�
I stop and try to breathe as calmly as I can. Suddenly, a blue light flashes past me, crushing into the rocks before me; instinctively, I duck and wrap my arms around my head. The dark force!
�There! Darian, now!�
I throw myself flat onto the floor and in hope they will aim to the left, I roll to the right, squeezing my eyes shut. From what I can hear, another blue light ball hisses over me and the sound of pieces of the rock wall falling on the ground echoes through the cave. I blink and hastily crawl further to the right.
�One more time,� whisper under my breath. I'm furious and willing to fight back, �go on, only one more time.�
Again, I'm blinded and quickly looking to the side, I stretch our my hands, palms up. Oh, please let it work, I don't want to die!
The blue ball dances in the air, illuminating the place. As I suspected, it's small and water runs along the walls. I turn to my kidnappers and gasp. The bold guy! A much smaller figure stands next to him, legs apart, hands stemmed in the side, glaring at me. I could swear I've seen him before, but I can't remember where. At the club, when Sam was there?
�You?� I address the bold guy. �What do you want from me?�
He watches the blue ball's dancing. �Just playing a bit. Thought you might like that.�
I continue to stare at him. The tingling in my hands and the pressure on them stops and the ball explodes, leaving a mini firework behind. For moment I freeze and lock eyes again with the bold guy. With one quick move of his hand another blue ball appears in the palm of his hand and before I can react, he throws it in my direction. The pressure is much stronger and I can't hold against it.
�Please, stop! What have I done to you?� My voice breaks off at the end of the question and I have both, fear and fury raging in me. I'm going to die!
�Stop!� a third voice barks, followed by a stream of orange-red light directed at the two other guys. They try to fight back, but the figure now stepping in front of me is far too strong for them. I recognise the long leather coat and heavy boots. Sam?

Let Things Go lyrics
Let Things Go Song Lyrics
How does this happen? All your life
You think the space you've got is not enough.
But then you open your closet door and think,
"My life must be more than the sum of this stuff."
Something moves you from within.
Like, say, your boyfriend moving in.
And that's how you begin to let things go.
You look up at that shelf and you tell yourself to let things go.
And next thing you know…..
You are standing amidst your whole entire history
And you're strewing it across the floor.
You've got out-of-date planners and dog-eared postcards
And think, "What in God's name was I keeping these for?"
Packed in boxes just in case
But now I really need the space
So I'm gonna clean this place and let things go.
I'm determined to clear out some room in here and let things go.
I'm letting it go
All of these years and years of junk and flotsam
Plastic souvenirs, why, look, I've got some.
Birthday cards, a pamphlet on Van Gough
I should've done this years ago.
But somehow I've been petrified
To see what's been kept inside these chests and drawers
It's so very strange finding stuff from a lifetime ago
Even when the life you find is yours.
'Cause there are things that make you feel
That you need this proof your past was real.
And you can't let them go
So back into boxes they go
How does this happen?
You tear up your apartment just to put it back together again
Jason will be fine
We'll get creative with our space so that all of our things fit together and then
My whole life can stay in there
Well, he's got to put his shoes somewhere
Ugh! Why can't I be some other Claire
Who can just let things go?
I mean, I said I would try and I did
But I can't let things go
You know Martha Stewart, I'm not her
I'm gonna let things go back where they were.

av·a·tar (āv'ə-tär')
- The incarnation of a Hindu deity, especially Vishnu, in human or animal form.
- An embodiment, as of a quality or concept; an archetype: the very avatar of cunning.
- A temporary manifestation or aspect of a continuing entity: occultism in its present avatar.
Having an overly rational mind sometimes leads me to rebel against hype. I often find myself missing out on the simple joys of life, due to my inescapable obsession to analyze and verify everything I see and do. When I watch a movie, or read a book, for instance, I first have to consciously talk myself out of re-writing the story, and talk myself INTO just enjoying it for what it is. This illusion that I present to myself stands hard, but only for a short period of time, before it mists away and my brain begins twisting what I know into what I wish I hadn't discovered.
This was the case while watching Avatar a week ago.
This movie has been hyped as the greatest of its time. Years of promotion and speculation built the public interest into a frenzy. And crushed any hopes I had of enjoying it. The more an event is hyped, the more likely I am to turn from that hype. The greater the frenzy, the stronger my feelings are that there is something amiss.
I will grant that the cinematics are like nothing I've ever seen before. A third of the way through the movie I found myself wondering if this was really CGI, or if the world had been deluded and what we were watching was actually actors in costume. I generally don't like CGI in a movie, it takes away the fantasy of it all, ironically. Watching Spiderman 2, in all its CGI glory was a horrendous adventure, dissolving all of the "superpowerness" of the hero. It made it hard to believe that Peter Parker was in fact a "superhero"…I know that a computer generated hero can do anything, what I wanted to see was a stereotypical young geek capable of the extraordinary.
Avatar was the first CGI film I've watched that actually made me feel as if this was something I'd never have the opportunity to witness in real life. Now, you may say that Spiderman is not something one could truly witness in real life, however, there certainly are stereotypical young geeks accomplishing the extraordinary on a regular basis. What the CGI did was make me wonder, if what I was watching wasn't in fact real, real actors, real makeup, real costumes, real settings.
For once, the CGI was believable, and it was the story that lacked luster for me.
The story of Avatar is not new. It's one that can be found in the absurd. Take Zelda-Ocarina of time…here we have the story of a young hero, Link, who is an outsider in a village, the Kokiri Forest, built under the Great Deku Tree. As an outsider, Link strives to become a member of his chosen people by setting out to abolish their oppressor, with an underlying motive of saving the life of the princess, thereby ensuring his perfect assimilation into the people. Sound familiar?
The spiritual connotations in Avatar go almost beyond discussion. The idea that all things are explicitly connected, running on the same life energy and never divisible is the basis of my being. Watching Avatar is like experiencing a shrink-wrapped mushroom cloud of religion. It's safe to say that every faith will find something to connect to in Avatar, if one so cares to look.
So, that leaves me wondering, what was James Cameron up to when he wrote Avatar? He is noted for placing symbolic relationships in his movies. His stories are littered with the lessons he wishes the viewer to learn. Or is it just people like me…those of us unable to see something for strictly what it is? Is there the off-chance that Cameron made this movie, and all his others, simply because he could? Simply because he was boxing clever, and able to re-imagine the accepted standards of film-making? Was it purely for our entertainment? Unfortunately for me, no.
Cameron had a purpose. My only wish is that his purpose fit the hype because the hype surrounding the"originality" of the movie promised a revelation. I went into this viewing with the idea and understanding that Cameron was going to change the world. The hype informed me that what I was about to watch was a brilliant new concept, not only in the cinematics, but also in idea. In the past, I walked away from Cameron's movies with something fresh to think about, something new to wrap my head around. With Avatar, I find myself largely disappointed with the lack of newness. As much as I herald the ability present in the movie to manipulate CGI in a previously unseen manner, I recognize it as something that was inevitable, the next logical step in its developement. And the story is previously written in any dogma, any sacred text, any belief structure, from Hinduism to Islam, Witchcraft to Freemasonry.
The mundane has become original. Basics of life, human nature, have become the phenomenal, yet still, we rely on the predictable to enlighten us.
I can hardly wait for the sequel, in which I'm sure the Na'vi will spend three hours becoming assimilated into the ways of their new saviour.

Is your dog depressed? Having trouble letting you go in the morning? Help is on the way.
Eli Lilly said Wednesday it has received approval to market a chewable tablet that calms down dogs who misbehave when separated from their owners.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved Lilly's drug Reconcile to treat the estimated 10.7 million, or 17%, of U.S. dogs that have separation anxiety. According to a company release, dogs that exhibit separation anxiety are prone to "destruction, excess vocalization and inappropriate elimination."
Reconcile is part of a class of antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors frequently marketed to humans. Lilly's blockbuster depression drug Prozac is one member of the class.
According to Lilly, 73% of dogs treated with the Reconcile showed improved behavior when separated from their owners compared with dogs receiving training alone.

I was wondering whether you could point me to articles describing not only the different characters but describe/suggest therapy for the different Reich / Lowen character types; in particular the oral character.
Thank you
Michael –
Really good writing you've done on your 'Reich and Lowen therapy' blog. All your explanations about the physiology and chemistry of breathing are correct as far as I can tell, which is a rarity for web writing about breathing. You present a balanced, rational view of breathing as a therapeutic tool, plus good historical information.
I'm preparing for an 8-hour webinar class next weekend and wanted to refresh my knowledge of the Reich-Lowen work. I'll refer the students to your site as a reliable source of information about the topic.
(if you're interested, the Graduate School of Breathing Sciences is at bp.edu; I've written some chapters and articles on hyperventilation and co-edited books on breathing lore). When things slow down for me I might ask for your guidance on further exploration of the use of breathwork in Bioenergetics.

Joanna Gosling , a BBC news presenter, broadcast journalist and an author grew up in Buckinghamshire. She was naturally academic at school, with an aptitude for languages. She went on to study at the University Of Birmingham. After gaining a degree in French at the University of Birmingham, she decided on a career in broadcast journalism, starting out as a trainee at a radio station in Oxford. From there she joined Independent Radio News (which was affiliated with ITN at the time). Joanna moved from radio to television, freelancing as a news reporter for Sky and ITV before being taken on as a BBC presenter in 1999.
She is an author of various books. Her first book, Simply Wonderwomen : A Survival Guide for women with too much to do, was published in October 2011. Her second, Homemade Simple: Stylish, Practical Makes for Living and Giving was published in September 2013.
Joanna Gosling and Craig Oliver got married in 1996. Joanna met Craig Oliver when she was working for Independent Radio News, affiliated to ITN. Her husband was then a trainee ITN reporter. Craig's career progressed from reporter to producer and then to program editor at ITN. Craig Oliver succeeded Andy Coulson as Cameron's £140,000-a-year communications chief in 2011. Gosling herself earns a hefty salary.
Gosling and Oliver's bond was alleged to be in trouble in 2014. The news about the power media couple's separation was spreading in the nooks and corners while the couple refused to make any comments regarding their marriage. Later when Joanna Gosling was asked about their alleged separation, she said, "I have no comment to make on this. It is a personal matter between Craig and I. I don't see myself as a public person."
It was held that the couple was living separately and assumed that the couple wanted to keep their divorce low key as one of their friends made this comment, "It's an open secret in Downing Street and at the BBC that they are no longer living together, but there's been no announcement. They want to keep it low key."
The divorce was newsworthy but it turned out to be false as Joanna and her husband are still married and enjoying their togetherness with their three beautiful children. Joanna, her husband Craig and their three beautiful daughters live in the west London in a house they purchased from the sports presenter Mark Pougatch.
Joanna again in the year 2014 made a praiseworthy news when she handled a technical glitch in a smooth and professional manner. She was not at her desk for the start of her broadcast, the footsteps were heard while cameras focused on the empty chair, but she calmly apologized and continued as she would normally have. She received praise from the viewers on twitter for this. She truly is a great presenter who can handle any situation well and at 45, she still looks amazing, with perfect weight to go with her tall height and blonde hair.

Raynham Police Chief James Donovan was appointed to continue his role on a permanent basis for the town at Tuesday night's Board of Selectmen meeting.
Raynham Police Chief James Donovan was appointed to continue his role on a permanent basis for the town at Tuesday night's Board of Selectmen meeting.
Donovan took over the job as a sergeant after he was initially appointed in December 2010, replacing former chief Louis Pacheco. At that time, the Selectmen put him on a year-long probationary period so they could determine his ability to handle the administrative end of the job.
Selectman Donald McKinnon said after several meetings that he and Town Administrator Randall Buckner held with Donovan to assess his work this year, they were pleased to offer him the top cop status in permanent terms.
"Chief Donovan is as a professional of a person you'd meet in your lifetime," McKinnon said. "I think the minutes for this meeting should show that this town thinks he's an excellent police chief, a good family man and a good person. We are fortunate to have you."
Selectwoman Marie Smith seconded the motion put forth by McKinnon and said, "I'd just like to congratulate and wish him the best of luck." Smith said that if Donovan needed any help he could always come to the Board of Selectmen.
While Selectman Joseph Pacheco recused himself from the vote because of family relations in the police department, he said that his recusal in no way should be construed as anything else, because he has all the support for the chief.
Donovan said that it helps him to have two supportive chiefs that preceded him — Louis Pacheco and Peter King — and added during his first year he's got to learn about the quality of local government that Raynham has.
"It's been tremendous," said Donovan, explaining that not all town governments are as great as Raynham's. "I've worked for this town since I was 14 years old but I've never known the town government as I do now here in this building. ... People should know that we have a very good, quality local government."
Donovan is a life-long Raynham resident and a graduate of Bridgewater-Raynham Regional High School. He was captain of the school's football team and joined the police a short time after graduating.
Donovan furthered his education and has a bachelor's degree in law enforcement and a master's in criminal justice administration. He also served as a military police sergeant in Iraq during Operation Desert Storm in the early 1990s.
Donovan also has worked with a K-9 police dog named Bear, who has been with him since he picked up the 3-year-old canine in 2009. Donovan's parents, wife, daughter and son appeared at Tuesday's meeting to support him.

text: I have a few parts that I am offering. I'm pretty picky on conditions, here they are: Side Blue Ramp (darker discoloring on outside of ramp/makes the whole ramp look darker) Spike Green Canopy (small crack on side seam, not really bad though....still installs nice and looks nice.) Flat White Ramp (yellow line under red slide piece, 1/4 inch wide....ramp covers it though.) Make me an offer by PM. Not looking for a lowball nor robbing the bank offer...just fair. If you want a pick, just provide an email address. Bryan
