Like the portrait in Edvard Munch's famous painting The Scream, his is the face of insanity too, and the record of this young mass murderer's brief and troubled existence also paints a frightening picture.
"Burn in Hell," one of Adam Lanza's former high school classmates said of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter who, along with dozens of others he slew on December 14, 2012, took his own life as well.
Perhaps, if in fact there is a place made of brimstone and fire, then that's exactly where the 20-year-old psychopath now permanently resides, together with the likes of Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, and others of their dangerous ilk.
But, long before Lanza took up residency in Hell, the youth already had one foot in the door, say those who personally knew this glowering menace to society.
"There's someone shooting in the building…"
When police first responded on the morning of December 14th to reports of gunfire at the Sandy Hook school in the upscale suburb of Newtown, Connecticut, they found the front window of the facility had been shattered.
This is likely where and how the shooter forcibly entered the building, arriving minutes too late to simply walk unnoticed through the main doors—armed to the teeth as it were with firearms, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, and malice aforethought.
In what has now become a normal security mode for many school systems in America since the Columbine High Massacre in 1999, Sandy Hook's entrances and exits had all been locked and the school itself held off limits to visitors whilst classes there had finally commenced.
Not much more than a decade ago, safety measures like those would have been viewed as excessive and downright paranoid, yet, in this era of weekly mass shootings and runaway youth-on-youth violence, such extreme precautions are not only wise, they've become a necessity.
Still, even those safeguards were not enough to prevent an evil visitation.
Goth gamer goes berserk
He is being described in general as "deeply disturbed", but, as will soon be revealed, this barely scratches the surface of soulless Adam Lanza, a "brilliant but remote" violent videogamer who was so dysfunctional he could only speak in short bursts and had a "condition" in which he experienced no pain, either emotionally or physically.
"Adam had a lot of mental problems," a friend of the family volunteered. "Everyone had to be careful that he didn't fall because he could get hurt and not feel it."
And, as his people knew or should have known, the boy could kill too, and not feel a thing.
Everyone had to be careful
Unlike the mother of Columbine's co-shooter Dylan Klebold, who, when she first learned that her teenage son was one of the assailants that grim day "prayed he would commit suicide," Adam Lanza's mother Nancy doesn't have to bear any guilt in the aftermath of her own boy's bloody rampage.
He killed her first.
It is not being very "careful" to refuse to acknowledge your demented child's potential to harm you or other human beings. Nor is it very wise to look the other way at his dark activities and obsessions. In that parental abdication, it is additionally shortsighted to have stockpiled an arsenal of weaponry which he could, one awful day, decide to load and abscond with...
Police now say that the guns that Adam Lanza used to commit parricide and mass murder were purchased by and registered to his mother and father.
Records also show that the Lanzas were divorced recently, and Adam Lanza lived alone with Nancy Lanza in the lap of luxury at a home located less than ten miles from the Sandy Hook Elementary School, where the woman is said to have once taught kindergarteners.
Lanza too attended the Sandy Hook schools, and was reportedly listed many years in a row as an honor student.
But that is the extent of his attributes and accomplishments, and, indeed, most can't say now if this so called child "genius" ever even got it together enough to graduate.
Yes, if only one or two small children, it would still have been a heartbreaking body count, let alone twenty.
The preventable slaughter of these defenseless and innocent little ones was accompanied by five of their teachers as well as the school principal, the woman who, while being fired upon, was thought to have activated the school's Public Address loudspeaker just in time to warn everyone.
That terrible tally makes the Sandy Hook Massacre the largest public school shooting in the history of the United States, and second only to the Virginia Tech shooting by a mentally ill student named Seung-Hui Cho, in 2007.
But copycats abound these days, vying for the record books, so it won't be the last bloodbath we ever see.
"It has to stop, these senseless deaths," Columbine High School's principal Frank DeAngelis sadly opined, when the news of yet another vicious attack on schoolchildren had rung out across the land.
"Our hearts are broken," a teary-eyed President Obama, father of two school-age daughters himself, choked with grief, as he spoke to the nation about the unprecedented event. Doing so at precisely the hour many schoolchildren were headed home from their classes.
The time has come for a "meaningful discussion" about gun ownership, Obama also added, in an apparent about-face from a statement released by the White House earlier in the day which stated, in effect, "now is not the time to debate gun control legislation."
Gun Control
Without a doubt, people should control their guns. However, the truth is that most U.S. citizens are not lawless whether they do or don't have access to firearms.
In short, guns don't kill, violent people do, and more and more these individuals are young males with a clear history of antisocial behavior and tendencies, and a fascination, bordering on fixation, with virtual killing.
The history of gun ownership in America dates all the way back to its pioneer days. Then, every man, woman and child had some experience with handling muskets, rifles, and handguns, as well as wielding a range of knives that could be concealed or were as large as machetes.
They used these for hunting and, whenever required, to defend their families and homesteads. Rarely, despite Hollywood's inglorious depictions of the wild, wild West, were such weapons employed to wantonly murder with.
Today, the same is basically true. It's simply that the array of offerings—like fully automatic assault rifles and armor piercing bullets—is making it too easy for the deranged minority to slay in mere minutes and in great numbers.
Jared Loughner, James Holmes, Klebold and Harris, Adam Lanza…gun control should be honestly discussed now, and without any further delay. But to attempt to address this issue without addressing the source of so many of these public shooters' uncontrollable rage, would be pointless and ineffectual.
Because, like the Adam Lanzas of the world, these malicious mental cases are hell bent, and will find the means to execute carnage on the rest of us no matter what obstacles are placed in their way.
So it is time. Agreed. Time for the billion-dollar videogame industry to at last fess up to the deadly nature of their "games" and undertake to limit and even restrict content that instructs impressionable and unsuspecting young users in how to become expert marksmen.
This is not how we should be educating our children. Nor should otherwise harmless youngsters be taught to fear for their lives night and day.

RAW dynamic range extraction
RAW dynamic range extraction
This is a small tutorial on how to determine settings to extract the full dynamic range of a RAW camera file into a single 16 bit per channel document using Adobe camera RAW converter of photoshop CS2. This workflow might be possible with other RAW converters, too.
For a general RAW workflow please see Working with RAW files in CS2
First we need an example with high dynamic range to find suitable parameters. Since it is very hard to shoot a controlled high dynamic range scene in one image it is advisable to use an exposure bracketed series for this purpose.
I've chosen a setup like the one proposed by Ben Kreunen on [1] with a white, a grey and a black patch. This setup can be used to determine dynamic range of the camera, too. However, the use of a grey wedge would be better for our purpose.
Shoot all images with fixed white balance and manual exposure set to different times. If the necessary exposure time exceeds the cameras possibilities you can vary the f-stop as well but be aware of vignetting if you shoot wide open. Best is to shoot at f/11 or f/16. Indirect lighting is preferable.
Focusing is no issue - in contrary: if you shoot a bit blurred you can use the series to create a specialised noise reduction profile.
I've used a Nikon D70 with a Nikkor 10.5mm fisheye for this test and shot a series of 17 images bracketed with one f-stop difference from 1/8000s at f/16 to 8s at f/16.
Opening files
You can open files via Adobe Bridge or with the file open dialog. In our case only files 1 to 13 are used since in 14 to 17 the grey patch is clipped to bright white. Images should show up in the left column of Adobe camera RAW.
Click the brightest image in left pane and then click Select all button top left. Choose Camera Raw Defaults in the Settings list. In the right pane select the Curve tab page and select Linear as curve type. Settings will change to Custom with this step.
In the top row check Preview, Shadows and Highlights to see clipping on both ends. Then go to the Adjust tab page and set Shadows, Brightness and Contrast to the lowest possible values (leftmost slider position). The bright red area in the preview images indicates clipped highlights.
This is perfectly ok but unfortunately there is no difference visible between clipping introduced by the camera and clipping introduced by RAW converter settings. To determine this point draw up and down the exposure slider. There is a point where lowering the exposure does not further decrease the size of the clipped area (a grey wedge would be better here). You can verify the setting with the next darker images. Don't forget to press Select All before you make any adjustments.
Now go to the darkest image. Since all images where selected it has the same settings as the brightest ones. Probably it will look perfectly black, but the RGB values above the histogram show some - albeit very low - values different from zero. As long as there are no bright blue areas there is no shadow clipping. (You can increase the Shadows slider to see how it might look like).
If there are bright blue areas try to increase the Exposure slider. If the area does not get smaller, this is clipping introduced by the camera. If it gets significantly smaller you have reached the limits of Adobe Camera RAW. Then only dcraw with linear 16 bit output might help.
Other settings
Unfortunately some other settings influence the dynamic range, too.
On Adjust tab:
- White Balance This has a severe influence on dynamic range since white balance is performed by subtracting or adding values on one or more color channels. In my test images from the Nikon D70 clipping didn't change significantly between 4400K and 6500K. This range can be enlarged if you choose lower values for Exposure. Perhaps it is a good idea to do the above steps with images shot under different color temperatures and save settings for typical white balance settings. The more the white balance will differ from the ideal color temperature (should be 5500K for most cameras) the lower will be the usable dynamic range.
- Saturation Speaks for itself. If you increase saturation you decrease dynamic range because the color channels are saturated earlier.
On Details tab:
- Sharpness Sharpening might introduce some clipped highlight pixels since it increases contrast along edges. Better to sharpen the result image after contrast adjustment.
- Luminance Smoothing and Color Noise Reduction try to reduce noise. They tend to eliminate single clipped pixels but don't impact over all dynamic range.
On Lens tab:
- Chromatic Aberration has a very little influence on dynamic range, it might reveal single clipped pixels.
- Vignetting This might influences the dynamic range, since it changes pixel brightness in the corners. However, since vignetting normally is a darkening of the image corners you only limit the dynamic range in the corners to the same level as in the image center if you pull the slider up to an appropriate value. If you pull the slider down highlight clipped area gets smaller. Don't think you get higher dynamic range this way. There is simply a certain value subtracted from the pixel values which the clipping indicator does not see as clipped any more. But there is no additional information.
On Calibrate tab:
- All sliders on this page - especially the saturation sliders might influence dynamic range. If you need to work with other values than 0 for any slider here you should determine the dynamic range values with these settings and save them together with your settings subset. However, since the goal here is to extract full dynamic range and not to get a perfect image directly from RAW converter I suggest to do any color corrections in your final contrast adjusted result image.
Save Settings
If anything is ok you can go back to the brightest image and save the relevant settings. Choose Save Settings Subset from the menu you get if you click the small triangle button right of the Settings list. From the dialog uncheck all settings but Exposure, Shadows, Brightness, Contrast and Tone Curve (Check other settings if you want to save them together with the subset, of course). Press the Save button and give a speaking name. This name will appear in the camera RAW Settings list.
The usage is straightforward. Open images with Camera Raw, Select All, Choose settings subset from the Settings list, check Show Workflow Options, choose your desired space and Depth 16 Bits/Channel, press Save or Open button.
To verify that the whole dynamic range the camera is capable of is captured in the result files we open the darkest and the brightest non-clipped image with the above determined settings. The dark image is 10 f-stops below the bright one (and almost 11 f-stops below clipping level) and hast to be lightened extremely in order to see anything. It shows heavy noise of course - noise is the limiting factor for digital camera dynamic range. You probably won't like to use it for anything.
How to proceed
What to do now with these files? You can use a simple s-shaped curve to simulate analog film characteristics, you can use photoshop "Shadows/Highlights" to reveal some of the shadows details. You can use my Contrast Masking Actions to have a more halo free result or you can use one of the HDR compression plugins.
For the latter there are some preparations necessary: Either convert the image to 32 Bit per channel by simply choosing from the menu or convert to a linear gamma color space. How to create a linear gamma color space can be found in the dcraw article.
It can not be guaranteed that you can extract the very last bit of information from your RAW this way since we don't exactly know what the RAW converter does. However, it could well be that you get even more dynamic range from the converter than your camera actually captured.
How that? Color channels are not all saturated at the same level. If you f.e. use dcraw without the -n option you apparently get less dynamic range than from most other RAW converters. Dcraw clips the colors to the lowest clipped channel. If you use the -n option (and an appropriate -b value) you get anything the camera captured, including a single clipped channel. This might lead to very strange effects.
According to dave coffin (author of dcraw) most other RAW converters try to reconstruct the clipped channel from the other channels. This is why f.e. Adobe Camera RAW sometimes seems to deliver more dynamic range than dcraw in 16 bit mode does.

Movies return to Bastrop this spring as the Rose Theatre is set to become the second single-screen theater in northeastern Louisiana to return to her roots in motion pictures.
"The Rose Theatre is thrilled to offer this new entertainment option as we strive to fulfill our mission in the community," Sara Holley, vice president of the Cotton Country Players, said. "We are thankful for the support of devoted actors and volunteers, generous patrons and cooperative business and civic partners — all of whom play a crucial role in keeping this treasure alive in Morehouse Parish. Now, we are looking forward to complementing our current line-up of live entertainment with some of the best pictures ever to hit the silver screen."
The Rose was built in 1927 by the Goodwin family of Bastrop. It stopped showing movies in the mid-1970s.
Beginning in March, the Cotton Country Players, which now owns and operates the Rose as a Non-Profit 501-C3 organization, will begin showing movies under the direction of Adam Holland of Holland Entertainment LLC of Oak Grove.
The Movie Schedule is:
March 15 "Grease"
April 19 "Gone with the Wind"
May 17 "Dirty Dancing" (1987)
June 21"The Good, The Bad, The Ugly"
July 18 "Top Gun" (1986)

Apparently the Giants losing today made it a little more possible.
1. SEA wins out.
2. 49ers lose in New England.
3. Green Bay, Chicago, and Giants all lose one more. (We hold tiebreaker over the first two; Giants would win a tiebreaker with us via common-games record.)
I don't see anything in #3 coming true next week; all three play fairly easy teams. Week 15, though, the Bears and Packers play each other. Thus, via our tiebreaker over both (BAHAHAHA WILSON), one is assured to fall below the Seahawks should we win out. Also in Week 15, the 49ers travel to Foxborough (evening game, unfortunately) and the Giants travel to Atlanta. Tough road games for both.
Assuming we win out, Week 15 is huge for our playoff seeding.

Yep, I did it. It's disrespectful and shameful, but I did it anyway.I'm currently at a crossroads. A few of you know my situation. I mostly don't post, but only read this forum.The base point that I stand behind for my spiritual journey is Veritas non cambitis (Truth does not change). I'm tired of reading non-Chalcedonian articles and I'm tired of reading Chalcedonian articles. I shouldn't have to read pages upon pages of information to figure out which church to join. Shouldn't truth Himself make it apparent where he wants you to worship him? You are the light of the world; a city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden...He said the way is narrow. Well, apparently I can't even find where it starts to begin walking down it.The Coptic church I've attended is very ethnically Coptic. I stick out like a Germanic-Saxon light bulb. I don't read Arabic. I don't speak Arabic. I don't speak Coptic, except for maybe 2 or 3 phrases. I live in America, and naturally, I speak English... fluently.When the Wednesday "mostly English" service was being said in Arabic, many people were singing along. I was not. I could not understand, because I don't speak Arabic, as I've stated. When the deacon who walks around telling people what page that day's psalm reading was going to be on, he told me in Arabic. Three times. As I said, I don't speak Arabic. Everyone's just happily singing along, except me.So, I got frustrated, put my shoes on, crossed myself, bowed towards the altar, and left.Then, I decided to stop at the Antiochian church that's about 15 minutes down the interstate, and spoke with the priest. They use all English. They are 99% converts. They are Byzantine. However, I like the theology of the OO churches better. I like the icons of the OO churches, too (not that I think Greek or Russian icons are unpleasant). Furthermore, I cannot stomach listening to EOs call OOs "monophysites" and Severus of Antioch a "monophysite heretic," anymore than I could stand someone calling EOs "crypto- semi- quasi- Nestorians."So, I emailed the priest of the Coptic church, expressing my concerns. That's the second part of the "canned answers." Pray and talk to a priest. He told me, "I have no idea what to tell you."Terrific.He stated that he hated to lose me (as will I, he's very nice) and His Grace the Bishop is wanting to evangelize. He and I came to a common understanding about the Coptic church's attempts to evangelize at the moment:It is in its infancy in America compared to EOs.It will be a haven to Copts fleeing Muslim persecutions.A grand majority of these will not speak Engish, thus necessitating using Arabic for their benefit.This will cause great difficulty in European descended Americans converting because most southerners like myself will not stand there and listen to an Arabic service.The use of English will never take precedence over Arabic due to reasons 2 and 3, without multiple churches in the area.If the OO Communion is the correct Orthodox faith, then the Church should be like a Mother to me, yes?If I don't understand what my Mother is speaking to me, then how will I have a relationship with her?The priest of the Antiochian church, upon my mentioning of the Council of Chalcedon, stated that the council is so full of minutiae and politics that it's difficult to figure out what's going on, and that most scholars today state that the only reason the division happened was due to semantics and politics. He also stated that he can commune Copts who approach his altar, though he cannot serve in a Coptic church.I'm not a great logician, but I can deduce a few things:There is only One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church.There are not two. There is one.If the OO are incorrect, then why is there limited inter-communion? If the OO are incorrect, then what's the point of "Orthodox Unity?" Why does the EO accept Cyril of Alexandria as Orthodox, and not recognize OOs who proclaim Cyril's miaphysite christology as Orthodox and Eutyches as a heretic?If the EO are incorrect, and the OO are the Church, then what's the point of "Orthodox Unity?" If the EO are incorrect, then my country has been without the true church up until the last 50 years or so. I will have to bide my time and wait for native born Copts to become priests that will have to be bi-lingual.If both are correct, then the Body of Christ has truly been split by men, under "the guidance of the holy spirit making it ecumenical," and the Gates of Hades have triumphed, and we're all going straight to Hell.If both are incorrect, then the Body of Christ never existed, and the Gates of Hades have triumped, and we're all going straight to Hell.If the Gates of Hades have triumphed, then Jesus Christ is a liar. If Jesus Christ is a liar concerning the foundation of His church, then he is not God.If Jesus Christ is God, and has watched men split the Body of Christ, and then has not fixed it and let it remain that way, then He is malicious and cruel.Yes, I am running on pure emotion, because this is my heart on an electronic message board, and my intellect is fatigued badly.Yes, I am anxious, nervous, and on the verge of the deepest, darkest despair of my life because this is the last stop of the line.Yes, I have prayed. Yes, I am praying. Yes, I will pray, until my despair overwhelmes me.Yes, I have talked to priests. Four that I can think of off the top of my head.No, I do not know why I posted this. No one reads this forum anyway.Yes, I fully expect (in the rare event that someone does read this forum) to be chastized, told to grow up, told to deal with it, told to be patient with God, told to have faith, told that I'm disrespectful for posting this, told that I need to log off the internet and do something else for a while, or not told anything because no one knows the answer to this exceedingly long post that reeks of teenage emo-esque angst.Yes, I have accepted the fact that I may go to the nuthouse soon. It will be the same situation, except jello and thorazine will have been added.I could die in five minutes of writing this. I am not baptised. My wife is not baptised. My child is not baptised. Yes, I have a lot of pressure on me to find a home for not only my soul, but my family's as well. Thus, yes, I think it's important to figure out where to call home.That is, if a home even exists.
Get yourself baptized, my friend, preferably in an OO, EO, or RC church. The grace conferred through baptism may provide an answer to your uncertainty. At the very least, in the meantime, you will have entered the Body of Christ (what joy!). The Lord will lead you in due time.
I don't care what church you become part of
I would rather he and his family receive baptism than spend several years wondering what church to join.
And if God says the EO and OO are one, then all our reasoning and human thinking and faulty logic of why it cannot be so doesn't change a thing, we are one.
If both are correct, then the Body of Christ has truly been split by men, under "the guidance of the holy spirit making it ecumenical," and the Gates of Hades have triumphed, and we're all going straight to Hell.
If I don't understand what my Mother is speaking to me, then how will I have a relationship with her?
I have just read Salpy's arguement on the link he has posted, and it is almost exactly what I was just going to say. The fact that both the EO and OO have the same faith, after over a thousand years on non communication, is truly a testiment to the power of the Truth within the Holy Spirit. I'm not well educated in church history as many of you are, but from what I understand, it appears that what caused the split in Chalcedon is now regarded as an error of communication and translation, and not one of belief, correct?
Although I don't agree with luberti that the true Church exists in all three Churches: The EO, OO, and the CC,
I wouldn't quite go that far.
The same Orthodox fathers that brought the Bible and the liturgy down to you brought down the Council of Chalcedon.
I mean, the only reason that any Eastern Orthodox/Oriental Orthodox dialogue is productive, is because they now concede that Chalcedon's formula was Orthodox
My point is that if the Eastern Orthodox thought that the Oriental Orthodox were requiring them to give up (or even poo-poo) Chalcedon, all but the nuttiest "theologians" would be out the door.
I mean, the only reason that any Eastern Orthodox/Oriental Orthodox dialogue is productive, is because they now concede that Chalcedon's formula was Orthodox--
Anastasios,Let me just say that I am so glad you contributed. Why is it that the EO on this forum seem so willing to concede everything RCs and OOs throw at them? I mean, the great "theologian" contributors seem to be Roman Catholics, Oriental Orthodox, and Eastern Orthodox who think that the Church is Universalist.

The frustrations Gabriel feels are exactly why the OO Copts need to do here in the USA as they have done in England. Canonical Oriental Orthodoxy for Anglos: www.britishorthodox.orgIt is a natural fact that people feel comfortable with their own ethnic type. The OO Copts - in my opinion - are to be applauded for the British Orthodox church.
Why doesn't Your Grace want the Church Readings to be read in Arabic on the Sundays? I am sure Your Grace has justified reasons for such a decision. However, there are some people especially among the elderly who do not understand English. Some of them cannot even read Arabic. Please, reconsider your decision. Arabic is my native language; and that of of preference. Although I feel much more comfortable communicating in Arabic; it is not the language of this country in which I am to serve the Lord. Therefore, I had to adapt and train myself to using the English language. In the Holy Book of Acts 2: 1-11 we are told the disciples received the Holy Spirit and then spoke in many languages. If the One Church had spoken only 'one language' in Biblical time, there would have been only a few converts other than those in Jerusalem and the surrounding areas. In fulfillment of the prophecy of the prophet Joel (Joel 2:28,29) concerning the Holy Spirit, the words spoken by the Apostles were in the actual languages of the people who had come to Jerusalem from all over the empire for the Feast at that time. I believe that there was a very valid reason for the 'many languages'. God had meant that at the time of the Feast, those of other languages would come to learn of the Lord Jesus Christ in their respective languages. Then further on in biblical history, those people had established new churches as recorded later on in the Holy Book of Acts. When people immigrated to this country, they understood fully well that it would require learning a new culture and language. Arabic is not a fluently spoken language in any city here in the States. If our beloved Church is to grow in this land and if we are to evangelize others, we must also speak their language. Gradually adapting the Divine Liturgy (part Arabic, part English) had a two-fold purpose. One, was to slowly acclimate Arabic speakers to the English language. The second purpose was, to also give a chance to those who spoke only English (particularly young children who knew English only) to begin to comprehend the Divine Liturgy. Part English, Part Arabic was in no way intended as a comprise between the two languages; nor a goal in itself. The younger generation and new converts and those 'testing the waters' of our faith need to understand the entire Divine Liturgy in the English language. As for those who prefer the Arabic language, I whole-heartedly encourage and endorse a special Divine Liturgy for them. The Divine Liturgy could be scheduled to begin before work on a working day for those who work. For the elderly who want and need the comfort of an Arabic liturgy, they can attend the Wednesdays or Fridays Divine Liturgies in Arabic. Most of them do not work; and all they need to attend the Divine Liturgy is transportation.This is a simple thing, which with little patience and continued prayer, can be worked out to everyone's satisfaction. I would encourage any Church to serve the needs of its congregation. If the deacons do not have a good command of the English language, there are many practical solutions for this other than just refusing to attend or compromising the Readings. These deacons could attend the Hymns Retreat and eventually teach others. The Diocese holds these retreats annually for such purposes. If this is not feasible; or no one wants to make the effort required, then you can seek out the help of those in your church who do know the Hymns in English and ask them to teach those who do not. They can do that individually or in groups. A lot of those who complain about the use of English in Church rituals occupy jobs which demand both written and spoken English. A lot of people are complaining about feeling isolated and un-welcomed. Also,what about the many, many youth who grew up here and do not know Arabic? The stranger that frequently walks in the church invited or uninvited? The new converts who do not know the Arabic language nor the congregation present in church? Remember that to those entering newly into the faith, not only Arabic is unfamiliar; but the Divine Liturgy as well; unfamiliar in many aspects to the youth who are just beginning to learn the meaning our Coptic Church places on the word "mystery". There is no easy solution to transition. It is accomplished gradually by accepting changes. It has taken more than 10 years to move to praying completely in English in our Churches. I think it is now the "Time of the Children" and "The Time for Evangelism". Please pray with me that the Coptic Church will continue to grow in the United States, with members from Egyptian origin as well as American converts. The future of our Coptic Church also depends upon the youth of today. I pray that we all realize that in order for the youth to truly love the Coptic Church and grow spiritually, they must understand its teachings.

I've been noticing how important the shape of peoples' teeth are to their individuality. If you don't get the teeth shape right it can lose the likeness.
Below is my breakdown of a very famous set of chompers. First I figure out what the whole mess looks like as an overall shape - each person's bar of teeth has its own unique shape. Then I break it into sub-sections before drawing the individual teeth.
Here are some more beautiful and unique smiles.
I'm surprised more cartoon characters don't have specific teeth shapes-especially the supposed "realistic" features aimed at tweens. All the real live teen idols have very specific teeth.
This guy refused to show me his teeth but he wasn't too ashamed of his nose.
**BTW, I have resorted to bar teeth myself- especially on cute girl characters, but doing these caricatures is making me rethink things.

I would like to thank Butler Eagle reporters for their informative articles on the serious and continuing water problems in the Woodlands area. This local story highlights the damages that creep up whenever and wherever the controversial new technique of toxic fracking is used — namely, water and air contamination, illness, falling property values, divisions in the community, and indifference or inaction by local officials.
There was, however, an aspect of fracking that was left out of the scope of the recent articles: the frequent negligent and illegal activity of operators in the shalefields.
According to state Department of Environmental Protection data and Rex Energy's third-quarter 2010 stockholders' report, there have been at least seven reported incidents at three of the well pads closest to the affected homes, including violations involving a wastewater pond, failure to properly handle residual waste, an illegal stream discharge of industrial waste, and at least two failed well casings.
Coincidentally, the occurrence of the latter coincided with reports of problems with drinking water in the area.
Could it all be just happenstance that drinking water once considered safe turned bad the same time fracking started in the area?
For more information on these or other wells in Pennsylvania, Butler Eagle readers should visit http://stateimpact.npr.org/pennsylvania/drilling.
Readers might be surprised how frequently these problems occur.

He brought the issue up before the Fort Morgan City Council Tuesday night and also told The Fort Morgan Times Tuesday night that all such reported issues thus far already had been or were being addressed by city workers.
However, he also warned that even if temperatures are a little warmer in coming nights, the freezing pipes issue likely was not over.
He said that there "most likely" would be more cases of frozen or burst pipes reported to the city.
"When you get into a cold spell, you generally don't see the effects for a couple days," he said.
And the Fort Morgan Water Distribution Department wanted to inform city water customers that there were steps to take to prevent frozen pipes.
"Due to the prolonged cold, frost is moving deeper into the ground and is now causing water service lines to freeze," a news release from the city stated about the possibility of frozen pipes.
To prevent frozen water lines, city residents were advised to let faucets trickle cold water, especially overnight or during lengthy periods of non-use. Kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors should be left open to allow warmer air to circulate around plumbing. If residents were going away, the city advised leaving the heat on in homes and setting the temperature to no lower than 55 degrees.
"Leave a trickle running and open cabinets," Nation encouraged. "It doesn't take much of a trickle and it won't affect water bills much."
Fort Morgan residents also should be aware that if their water line had frozen in the past, the line would be more susceptible to freezing again, according to the city.
If residents suspect they have a frozen water line, the city will inspect the associated water meter to see if the meter is frozen, Nation said.
However, residents are responsible for the line from the water meter pit to the building, he said.
But "we do work with residents to identify where the problem is so they can get it fixed," Nation said.
The city will thaw out a frozen city water line once without extra charges, but repeated service calls to the same address to thaw frozen lines will be subject to service fees, according to the city.
For more information or to report a water service problem, contact the Fort Morgan Water Distribution Department at 542-3911.

Grubb & Ellis-Memphis – a full-service commercial real estate firm serving western Tennessee, northern Mississippi and eastern Arkansas – has formed an affiliation with Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, a New York City-based commercial real estate advisory firm.
Effective immediately, the regional firm will operate as Newmark Grubb Memphis.
Newmark Grubb Memphis' local professionals and clients will have access to NGKF's global resources and relationships, capital markets capabilities through NGKF's parent company BGC Partners Inc., and BGC's relationships with Cantor Fitzgerald and Cantor Commercial Real Estate.
Joe Steffner, Grubb & Ellis-Memphis' founder and president, said in a statement the affiliation with NGKF offers the firm international reach and size with "an egalitarian mentality that's nimble and effective."
Newmark Grubb Memphis has completed more than $500 million in deals since its inception in 2004, and has grown from a single-broker shop to a team with more than 150 years of combined commercial real estate experience. The firm provides tenant advisory, ownership representation, investment sales, corporate advisory, property and facilities management, market research and lease administration services.
Newmark Grubb Memphis' highlights from 2012 include representing Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp. in leasing a 600,000-square-foot, build-to-suit warehouse in Olive Branch; representing Baptist Memorial Healthcare in acquiring a 12-acre site to develop a regional cancer center in Memphis; representing the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. in leasing a 33,000-square-foot office space at Lakecrest III; negotiating the sale of 49 acres to the Regional Medical Center at Memphis for development of a new medical center near Kirby Parkway and Quince Road; and representing Nissan Corp. in the sale of a 400,000-square-foot warehouse in Olive Branch.
As reported last week by The Daily News, TJX Cos. Inc. – after inking the largest industrial lease in the area so far in 2013 – is opening a new distribution center in Memphis that will create 40 jobs, and the company is seeking a five-year tax freeze for the project.
The retail and home furnishings company is investing almost $7 million here, and it owns and/or operates under brand names such as T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods. It signed a lease for 414,076 square feet at Chickasaw Distribution Center Building D, 6100 E. Holmes Road, suite 101.
The company will add the new jobs in the first two years, but hopes to increase its local employment to 117 full-time positions in year three.
The Republican sponsor of a measure competing with Gov. Bill Haslam's to create a school voucher program in Tennessee says she's convinced the initiative should be broader than what the governor is proposing.
His measure would limit the program to 5,000 students in failing schools in the academic year that begins in August, and grow to 20,000 by 2016.
The proposal Sen. Dolores Gresham plans to present in the Senate Education Committee as early as next week would increase the income limit for eligibility to about $75,000 for a family of four, which is quite an increase from the $42,643 envisioned by Haslam's proposal. The bill also has no limitation on growth.
When reporters asked Gresham about her proposal Wednesday evening, she said she had talked to the Republican governor about the competing proposals, but didn't elaborate on what was discussed.
Critics have said they're uncomfortable with the idea of voucher programs taking needed money from public schools and giving them to private schools to educate children.
Last year, Haslam persuaded the legislature to defer taking up voucher proposals while a task force he appointed studied the various options about which families should be eligible to use public money.
Before announcing that he would sponsor a bill on vouchers in January, Haslam had been undecided about whether he would take the lead on the issue or if he would let lawmakers control the measure.
Bass Pro Shops executives are "actively considering" some changes to their proposed signage at The Pyramid, according to the Downtown Memphis Commission.
Commission Development Projects Manager Brett Roler said Wednesday, March 13, that Bass Pro Shops executives haven't committed to changing the signage but are considering "various options at this point."
"Bass Pro listened very carefully to the input provided by the DRB and public, and they are actively considering potential modifications to their signage application that would advance their business interests while also being sensitive to the community's concerns," Roler said in a written statement.
Because of those considerations, the March 18 special meeting of the Design Review Board has been postponed. The meeting will be rescheduled once Bass Pro decides what it wants to do with its pending application before the board.
National nonprofit Artspace Projects Inc. was granted a 15-year tax freeze Tuesday, March 12, for its live/work space for local artists behind The Arcade Restaurant called South Main ArtSpace Lofts.
The Downtown Memphis Commission's Center City Revenue Finance Corp. approved Minneapolis-based Artspace's $13.2 million payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) lease in connection with the old United Warehouse building at 138 St. Paul Ave. Currently, the property is vacant, and is in a dilapidated and blighted condition.
Artspace was brought to Memphis thanks to the Hyde Foundation, the city and a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts. The $12.9 million project entails renovating the 65,044-square-foot United Warehouse building and constructing a new 26,549-square-foot building next to it.
A total of 44 units of affordable live/work space will be available for artists and their families as well as seven non-residential working studios. There's also 15,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor gallery, exhibition and support service space for arts education programs.
South Main Artspace Lofts will offer studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units to the artist community earning less than 50 and 60 percent of the area average median income. The primary source of capital for the proposed development will be low-income housing tax credits. Artspace also plans to pursue historic tax credits.
Construction is scheduled to begin in October and be completed, fully leased and occupied by April 2015.
First Tennessee Bank, a subsidiary of Memphis-based First Horizon National Corp., is moving its Raleigh, N.C., office to a larger and more prominent location.
It's a move related to the bank expanding its presence and enhancing its services in the North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia markets. On an organizational level, the bank recently created the Mid-Atlantic Region to join its existing regions of West, Middle and East Tennessee.
John Fox, executive vice president, leads the new regional division.
The new Raleigh office, led by senior vice president Ken Reece, will support expanded services and new relationships in its business lines of private client, wealth management, corporate and commercial lending and commercial real estate. First Tennessee will add jobs to manage increased business, especially private client and commercial bankers.
First Tennessee Bank expects to move into its new Raleigh office space in mid-April.
The building will bear "First Tennessee Bank" signage and offers room for up to 10 additional employees, including a teller position.
Memphis-area home sales for February were flat from a year ago, with 934 total sales recorded in the Memphis Area Association of Realtors MAARdata property records database. Total sales year to date were up 22 percent. Average sales price year over year rose 14.7 percent at $117,016.
Inventory was flat, with 6,147 units listed for sale. Sales volume year to date increased 36.8 percent to $267 million.
The database includes records of all property transactions in Shelby, Fayette and Tipton counties.
HealthSouth Memphis has been recognized by the nonprofit group Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation for its delivery of patient-centered care.
This is the second consecutive year the 80-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital has received the honor. The hospital ranked in the top 10 percent of rehabilitation hospitals for both 2011 and 2012.
Uniform Data System, a nonprofit affiliated with the University of Buffalo, tracks a patient's progress through the rehabilitation process to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of rehabilitation hospitals across the country.
At HealthSouth Memphis, the average length of a patient's stay was 12.9 days and about 80 percent of patients were able to go home after they were discharged, for the 12-month period ended Dec. 31.
HealthSouth Memphis is owned by Birmingham, Ala.-based HealthSouth Corp.
Business, retail and warehouse security provider Central Defense Security is continuing its partnership with the Northaven Community Association to collect Box Tops for Education coupons throughout 2013.
Jerrica Love, executive administrative assistant at Central Defense Security, is spearheading the firm's collection effort, which will benefit Northaven Elementary School in North Shelby County.
In late 2012, the company partnered with Northaven Community Association in its effort to support the elementary school. Together, the two organizations were able to collect nearly 100 Box Tops coupons, which were used by the elementary school to purchase instructional games for students.
The security firm will be accepting Box Tops at its Memphis office, 6084 Apple Tree Drive, and will distribute the coupons to the Northaven community for use by the elementary school to support its educational programming.
The Assisi Foundation has given a $201,000 grant to Meritan Inc. to build the first medical residential home solely owned and operated by Meritan.
Meritan is a nonprofit health and social service agency. The home, to be named the Deborah Cotney Cottage in honor of Meritan's former executive director, will be designed to house three people with developmental and intellectual disabilities who also require intensive medical assistance. Residents will receive 24-hour skilled nursing support.
The Deborah Cotney Cottage will be built by United Housing Inc. and will be in United Housing's Wolf River Bluffs development in North Memphis. Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring.
Chief executives at the largest U.S. companies are much more optimistic about their sales prospects than they were three months ago, though many remain cautious about hiring.
The Business Roundtable said Wednesday that 72 percent of its members expect sales will increase in the next six months. That's up from 58 percent at the end of last year.
And 38 percent plan to invest more in plant and equipment, up from 30 percent in October-December quarter, when the Roundtable released its last report.
Still, the better outlook hasn't made the group more optimistic about hiring. Twenty-nine percent of CEOs plan to increase hiring over the next six months, the same percentage as the last two surveys.
The executives are more comfortable with their current staffing levels and are less inclined to lay off workers. The percentage of CEOs planning to cut jobs fell to 25 percent from 29 percent, the second straight drop.
Even so, employers added 236,000 jobs in February, the government said. That capped a four-month hiring spree in which job gains averaged more than 200,000 per month.
And it drove down the unemployment rate to a four-year low of 7.7 percent from 7.9 percent in January.
The Roundtable surveys CEOs about sales, capital spending and hiring. The results are combined into an index, which gauges their outlook for the economy. That index jumped to 81 from 65.6 in December, the first increase in a year and higher the index's long-run average of 79.2.
The Business Roundtable represents CEOs of the 200 largest U.S. corporations. The survey results are based on 144 responses received between Feb. 11 and March 1.
A proposal to allow local referendums on whether grocery stores should be able to sell wine has been delayed in its final Senate committee to consider several changes desired by groups newly interested in negotiating over the measure.
A special subcommittee was appointed on Tuesday to work out a final version of the bill sponsored by Republican Sen. Bill Ketron of Murfreesboro. A full Senate Finance Committee vote was rescheduled for next week.
Among the issues supporters want to hammer out is whether the bill should also allow liquor stores to sell beer, which hours wine would be available for sale and the exact start date of supermarket wine sales after it is approved by voters.
The bill has been opposed by liquor wholesalers and package store owners.
The Shelby County Democratic Party begins the process of holding the group's local biennial convention Saturday, March 16, with caucuses to select delegates to the April 6 convention.
Both gatherings are at Airways Middle School, 2601 Ketchum Road.
The delegates to the April 6 convention will be selecting a new chairman. Local party chairman Van Turner is not seeking another term.
The contenders for the chairmanship are Jennings Bernard, Bryan Carson and Terry Spicer.
Meanwhile, Republican delegates meet Sunday, March 24, for their convention at Bartlett Station Municipal Center. Local GOP chairman Justin Joy is seeking another term as party chairman.
Delegates are chosen by state House districts. The party leaders are elected in both local parties for terms of one year. And they usually seek a second one-year term in the off-convention years by a vote of the party's executive or steering committee.
The conventions will also select members of those committees.
The Memphis law firm of Burch, Porter & Johnson PLLC has been recognized for its commitment to providing free legal services.
The firm was given the Corporate Counsel Pro Bono Law Firm Award at the recent 7th Annual Corporate Counsel Pro Bono Initiative Gala in Nashville. Burch Porter won the award for a partnership with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital that involves helping low-income families manage treatment of their children at the hospital.
For the past year, the law firm has helped patients and their families cope with what to do when certain children are too neurologically impaired to consent to their own treatment.
The firm has responded to that challenge by helping low-income families establish conservatorships for the benefit of the patient, which allow parents and other family members to direct treatment for the patient.
Terminix, the Memphis-based pest control provider, has added three national account managers to its commercial sales team.
The new roles will allow the company to grow new business and better service existing commercial accounts, and all three will report to vice president of commercial sales Michele Vance, who joined the company last fall through its acquisition of Schendel Pest Services.
Jennifer Callahan most recently was a regional account manager for the Terminix Commercial market in Denver. She oversees several major accounts, including Archstone Properties, and she'll oversee commercial sales for Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Utah.
George Armstrong has more than 20 years of experience in the pest control industry. He'll be responsible for commercial sales in Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
Ed Guenther joins Terminix from Viking Pest and Termite in New Jersey. In his previous role, he earned repeated top awards as national account representative and is Six Sigma certified. Guenther will oversee commercial sales for New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and the New England area.

This discussion with Ashley Dawson, Eben Kirksey, Julie Livingstone, Anne McClintock, Rob Nixon, and Jovana Stokic will probe imaginative horizons to illuminate concrete sites of biocultural hope. This conversation will orbit around two freshly published books: Extinction: A Radical History by Ashley Dawson and Emergent Ecologies by Eben Kirksey. As other species are snuffed out, possible futures for humans look bleak. Can radical political transformation bring an end to the sixth mass extinction event? As some charismatic creatures are being saved in zoos, captive breeding facilities, and cryogenic banks, a multitude of others are disappearing as they are disregarded or actively targeted for destruction. How should we love in a time of extinction? What practices of care can keep those who we love in the world?
Ashley Dawson is professor of English at the College of Staten Island and The Graduate Center. His work examines the literature of migration, including movement from postcolonial nations such as Jamaica and Nigeria to the former imperial center and from rural areas to mega-cities of the global South like Lagos and Mumbai. He is the author of Mongrel Nation: Diasporic Culture and the Making of Postcolonial Britain, and co-editor of Democracy, the State, and the Struggle for Global Justice; Dangerous Professors: Academic Freedom and the National Security Campus; and Exceptional State: Contemporary U.S. Culture and the New Imperialism. At present Dawson is at work on a book about urban culture and imperialism and on a history of twentieth-century British literature. He is currently web co-editor of the journal Social Text.
Four Futures: Life After Capitalism
Author Peter Frase in conversation with Alyssa Battistoni at Verso Books in Brooklyn, October 13, 2016.
Join Jacobin and Verso Books for the official launch of Jacobin Editor Peter Frase's Four Futures: Life After Capitalism.
One thing we can be certain of is that capitalism will end. Maybe not soon, but probably before too long; humanity has never before managed to craft an eternal social system, after all, and capitalism is a notably more precarious and volatile order than most of those that preceded it. The question, then, is what will come next?
In Four Futures, Frase imagines how this post-capitalist world might look, deploying the tools of both social science and speculative fiction to explore what communism, rentism and extermininsm might actually entail.
Could the current rise of the real-life robocops usher in a world that resembles Ender's Game? And sure, communism will bring an end to material scarcities and inequalities of wealth—but there's no guarantee that social hierarchies, governed by an economy of "likes," wouldn't rise to take their place. A whirlwind tour through science fiction, social theory and the new technologies are already shaping our lives, Four Futures is a balance sheet of the socialisms we may reach if a resurgent Left is successful, and the barbarisms we may be consigned to if those movements fail.
Billy Collins and Barbara Hamby read from their new works
Billy Collins and Barbara Hamby read from their work, introduced by Daniel Menaker and Erica Wright, respectively.
Billy Collins's new book of poems is The Rain in Portugal. "He is an American original — a metaphysical poet with a funny bone and a sly questioning intelligence," wrote Edward Hirsch.
Collins is joined by Barbara Hamby, whose latest collection is On the Street of Divine Love: New and Selected Poems. "Her poems are wild, outspoken, seriously funny, motor-mouth rambles that take us through hoops of association to places both unexpected and unimpeachable," wrote Collins.

Verdi's tale of 'forbidden love' opened the 80th Season
To commemorate Giuseppe Verdi's 200th birthday, the Florentine opened its 80th Anniversary season in grand opera style with Verdi's most beloved tale of star-crossed lovers. Elizabeth Caballero (Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni 2006) returned as the wayward Violetta, Rolando Sanz made his Florentine debut as her one true love, Alfredo, and Mark Walters debuted with us as his father, Giorgio Germont.

La Traviata on DVD and CD
by Corliss Phillabaum, PhD
Since my last survey ten years ago of recordings of La Traviata the world of opera recording has changed radically. The decline in the number of new CD versions of operas has continued, with only three new releases of La Traviatasince my last survey. All of the other CD recordings I discuss originated prior to 2003. On the other hand, the number of new versions released on DVD has escalated, with thirteen of the twenty-one versions discussed here released after 2003. Clearly DVD has become the preferred medium for recording operas today.
Since many versions are discussed here, I have grouped them into the categories listed in the links below.
The opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Florentine Opera or its staff.

CRANBERRY TWP — A crash this morning on Interstate 79 left one dead and at least one person critically injured, according to county emergency dispatches.
The accident, which happened at 10 a.m. appeared to involve an RV or motor home and a small car, which emergency response workers had covered with a red tarpaulin, according to a witness at the scene.
Traffic in the northbound lane of I-79 was stopped at the crash site, which was about 2.5 miles north of I-79's intersection with Route 228.
Shortly after 11 a.m., the vehicles involved were off the highway in the median between the north and southbound lanes.
State police, Cranberry police and several fire departments and ambulances responded to the scene.
No further information was available.

Just beat Miami for their 9th straight home win. 5 games over .500. I'm actually amazed. I figured they'd be one of the worst teams in the league this year.
Starting 5 is great. Badly need a bench.
Good day for Ducks basketball too, beating #3 and previously undefeated Arizona.
Good day, good day. Hopefully the Seahawks can keep it going this weekend.

Early in the season it seemed WR would be our biggest need this off season but with the recent chemistry Russell seems to be building with Tate and Rice i do not think it is something we should look into till like round 3 or 4. Malcom Smith did well today playing for Leroy Hill. So maybe with more experience he could fill that void and bring some fresh legs and burst to the position. I am not currently sold on anyone on our offensive line except for Okung. After today i am still extremely worried about our Defensive line's inability to create pressure with 4 guys rushing the passer. But looking at this class i do not see any elite every down DT's that can factor in the run game and make consistent pressure up the middle on passing downs. One guy sticks out and that is Star Lotulelei from Utah but his effort is lacking and he needs some coaching yet but the upside is there and i doubt he will still be there when it comes time for us to pick late in Round 1.
If i had to pick this is what i would like to see us do.
Rnd 1- Chance Warmack OG typically do not go early. So perhaps we could luck out and trade up to get Chance Warmack if he is still there outside the top 15. (Doubtful but maybe) or perhaps Jonathan Cooper will still be there.
Rnd 2- Arthur Brown OLB Coach Carroll himself is quoted as saying his is the best LB prospect i have ever scouted. Other pick if still there Khaseem Greene Rutgers. Been a tackle machine all year on that defense and just because he is small he isn't scared to take on blockers in the run game. Extremely Aggressive Player.
Rnd 3-Ricky Wagner OT yet another Wisconsin OL that could come in and perhaps push Giacomini for his Starting spot. Perhaps there will be some better prospects on the board at this time but i am trying to be as realistic as possible. D.J Fluker maybe if he is still there he looked very good against Georgia from spots in the game i saw here and there.
I highly doubt the draft will go like this at all. But it is the draft and anything can happen especially with this front office but i think these 3 positions are what will help us the most and 3 guys i would like to see on this team. I would love a DT but i just don't see a Geno Atkins, Suh, Ngata or Raji type player to make that impact we need on the interior line.
