church and state
Las Vegas SUN: Calif. Court OKs Teens' Suit Vs. School
Well the state wins in California if the issue is gay rights. If they can sue a religious school because of this then whey can’t women sue the Catholic Church because they don’t accept women priests?
Either you and your church / school has rights to enact its religious beliefs or it doesn’t.

Tour Favorites Barred in Doping Scandal - New York Times
Also this morning they are passing some laws to insure read force apple to open up its iTunes so I can be compatible. Then this story. Seems like the French have finally found a way to win their own bike race—claim everyone else is a cheat. Might work nothing else has.
Don’t know who can be more stubborn or jerky at times the French or Apple. It just might b a tie.

USA Today: Call Database Not So Broad - New York Times
All the news we think we know. Looks like USA today can’t prove that Bell South or Verizon provided bulk phone records. But hey they still stick by the story—just keep making it up and put in a nice colored graphic and your job here will be done.
What else do they think is right and can’t prove?

Pepsi Americas' Sail 2006
And I’m stuck here. Might not have gone anyway as the extra 100,000 people they anticipate will clog the roads for ever. I’ve been to other things there with an estimated crowd 50,000 and it was a zoo.
I still wish some local station would use their web cams. I’m monitoring a couple to check.

FOX Sports - NASCAR - NASCAR to change championship format in '07
When NASCAR changes or tweaks something like this it can only mean they are trying to “rig” the results. Sort of like the pattern they got into with the tweaking of the body styles and spoilers. My guess is they want to insure that the 8 and the 24 get in. how they do it is anyone’s guess. The 400 pint window hasn’t worked. Perhaps they will let you “drop” a race of two. However, if they come up with a stupid fan poll like in the all star race then I’ll be a former fan and never watch again.

of course they are puzzled
Las Vegas SUN: Argument Against Report Puzzles NYT Editors
The NY Times editors are puzzled that there is an out cry against their irresponsible acts of outing our secrets. They are puzzled because they see know that they are saving the world against Bush and how could anyone fault that.
They also are trying to tell us they studies it a lot and really worked on it. That is the last defense of people who do things wrong—“but I worked real hard.”
This really just shows how out of touch they are with not only most of us but with reality. They never will understand what they have done and the depth of feeling many people have for them.

California Chancellor Dies in Jump From Building - New York Times
Having said that there are a couple of things that bother me about this. The chancellor in this case was under fire – been following this case for a while--- for renovations to the residence and for getting a big time job for her “partner.” All this at a time when the university raised fees and cut budgets. She seems to have gotten on the wrong side of the unions there—California faculties are unionized.
The thing that bothered me as the statement by her provost. He mentioned her commitment to diversity before he mentioned the ideas of higher education. Folks diversity is not the sole reason to have a university.
Any way may she rest in peace.

so it’s not “for the children”
Las Vegas SUN: Dioceses Won't Perform Background Checks
L.A. diocese of the Roman church will not do the promised background checks on those working with children. The reason—wait on it –it discourages illegal aliens from being volunteers. Right –apparently this diocese feels that getting abused or molested by an illegal alien must be a good experience. Well they must-- as they are giving them a free hand. Either you protect the kids or you don’t.
I think this really speaks to what their church thinks of the various child abuse scandals. They really don’t seem to think it is a big deal at all.

BTW I really want a new mac but will wait and see how the intel chip does and let the prices stabilize.

Go show some compassion to those in need – fix your own house—clean up your own sexual antics and shut the hell up about us.
Yes I’m still cranky and plan on being for a number of weeks.

not much blogging early today
I go to the doctor’s today
This will be the first visit since I had surgery. I will be interested to see how it’s healing and also to see what it looks like. The pain is very manageable with over the counter thing—mostly. The problem comes from mobility and having to keep my leg elevated so it won’t swell and then hurt. I’m hoping of a different type of cast but really don’t know.
The appointment isn’t until 10:30 but getting ready takes time now. Also I bet the visit takes most of the day.
I'll be here.

this shouldn’t/t be that big of a deal
Las Vegas SUN: Bishop Chosen 1st Female Episcopal Leader
However it will be. This isn’t like electing a diocesan bishop. In fact, she is already one of those. [she gives that up]However her rise is very rapid. The office of presiding bishop isn’t too powerful. Don’t think of this position as a “super” bishop who can order things down. Mostly they lobby, act as figure heads and make speeches mildly condemning of the U.S. government. Well the past ones have done it that way.
It will anger the usual suspects such as conservatives who pass them selves of as the orthodox and it will bend the African bishops all out of shape. It might even drive some sects—my word not theirs—they are orthodox, out of the church.
BYE!

I’ve never been inside as long as now. Except for going to the hospital and coming home Tuesday a week ago I haven’t been outside in two weeks.

There are only so many sodoku puzzles I can do. Maybe I’ll read some more.

Payments here – don’t even get us started about the subsidies for some of the Mexican industries.

not again I hope
WITN | Flood Warning
Seven years ago the substation was basically underwater and power went on –well most of the time. The substation is too in the flood plain. They say they’re ready—I hope to see pictures tomorrow of sandbags and the like- not sure the generator will start for my wife and son or that I could get it if I could get to it.

Dixie chicks talk again
Telegraph | Entertainment | How the Chicks survived their scrap with Bush
Now is the perfect time to remember “don’t ascribe to malice what can just as easily be explained by stupidity.
Read some of this stuff—they are really dense—and angry because the rest of the country performers didn’t rally to them. Yet they are proud of being apart and “better” then them.
Girls go perform and have a real nice life but I won’t buy another—and I won’t listen to that one or a radio station that plays you. Find another segment or shut up and either way have a nice life.

not so sure something like this isn’t the way to go
BBC NEWS | UK | Call to abolish legal marriages
Brit religious think tank group wants to rethink “marriage.” What should the involvement of church and state be here? Should be worth talking about—at least I think.

right!! Cranky blogging again
Starbucks targeted over high-fat products�|�Reuters.com
The so-called center for science in the public interest, don’t take an interest in me, you would be regulators and dictators, anyway they are now after Starbucks. Seems Starbucks actually puts things in the coffee that might be “fatty.” They put milk, half and half and some whipped cream in the coffees. But only if you ask for it.
Listen you asshats they don’t put a damned thing in the coffee you don’t order. They don’t slip it in. They charge you for it or ask if you want it as part of the price. The fat costs and they don’t give it away.
Go the hell away.

some cranky TV ad commentary
Any else getting just a little tired of the tone of the Johnsonville Brat commercials?
I like them –they’re good but the he tings are damned sausages. It’s not a religion. Tell you Johnsonville you are getting so fussy about who and how and why I cook and eat them why don’t I just get another brand. I might not be worthy.
some cranky TV ad commentary
Johnsonville : Home
Oh what do I mean?—well the one showing you should put the cooked brats in a beer bath to keep them ready was OK. Now they are telling you how to dress out the brat. Let me tell you once I buy it it’s mine. Your interest and control ends. Butt out.

Episcopal Church update
Las Vegas SUN: Danforth Warns Episcopalians on Issues
I tend to agree with the Rev. Danforth. I know a lot of people I know in the church are more conservative than I and will not agree with him. They are in purity mode. It seems that each side feels the need to purge the church. God help us. Orientation is not a big deal for me. As with people in my parish I’ll be glad to respectfully listen and discuss the issue. I don’t expect to be moved but my guess is neither do you.

WRAL.com - Family - Mass Confusion? Catholic Mass May Be Changed
They haven’t changed much for decades. However, changes in liturgy and ceremonial can cause real division to come to the service. I’ll look over the changes later—tired now—and see if I see anything that looks troubling. I do have RC friends that won’t like it if it doesn’t go back to Latin.

I’m not religious I’m spiritual
Always took that to mean I don't’ have to get up Sunday/whenever and also didn’t have to contribute to anything. Sort of a lazy cheap way out. But then my bias might be showing. Anyway on to the questions –
A. Am I overtly religious? Yes I guess so. In 1988 after a few years of diocesan school I was ordained to the diaconate—the lowest order of ordained ministry in the Episcopal Church. Ordained never the less—the actual orders are on the wall on my bedroom and I can see them as I type. Remember I broke the ankle while finishing the church service. The diaconate has a specific place in the liturgy and in service to the world. The mediations I do as a volunteer are part of this service.
B. Come to it on my own or part of the tradition. Hard to really say as going to church and being active were norms but didn’t stay that way for my parents—although my father became very active the last ten years of his life. There were preachers and evangelists in the family but I was never close to them. So it is a tradition. However the rest of the family is either Methodists or Baptists.
C. Leave for a while—I left for a long while from mid-high school until after graduate school. My wife wanted to start going back to church. I wasn’t ready to go to the Baptist church and the Methodist churches were not getting it done after we moved to a new one. We were invited to come to church with a colleague and his wife. The minute I hit the Episcopal Church it felt like I was home. Never left. What got be back to organized religion? I love the liturgy and I love a church where I don’t have to check my brain at the door.
BTW I’ assigned here.

WRAL.com - News - Alberto's Remnants Blamed For Mall Closure, One Death
In this depression most of the heavy rain should have been to the northeast but because of a front while the center shifted close to my house the rain moved to the northwest quadrant. This flooded parts of Raleigh to a degree not seen in thirty years.

big twit—moderate talent
New York Daily News - Home - Lloyd Grove's Lowdown: It's 'Putdown With Keith Olbermann'
This guy just can’t get along. It must be frustrating believing you are the smartest man in the world yet no one will agree. I really haven’t found much evidence of intelligence here only ego. The big surprise to my reading was that his fiend was “Katie.” Didn’t figure him for any “friend” at all.
He can be an engaging personality with some wit but after a while people recognize folks like that for what they are—limited and very much in a niche. He appeals mainly now to the Kos anti-Fox crowd. That might keep you on cable but will never take you where that ego wants to go.
Just my opinion—I mean I can’t know anything as I’m just a dumb southerner. However, since I’m alone right now I am the smartest person in the room.

home churches growing
News from Agape Press
There is much wrong with “organized” religion and perhaps much to be said for the “home church” movement. However in the several variations in which I have encountered it I’m really not impressed.
In trying to capture the spirit of the early church I find these groups tend to ignore the service to god’s children. I find these groups to be very inward looking and this does not sit well with my reading of the gospel.
I also find some of them as elitists and holier than thou. Others use this as an excuse to just not attend church at all.
All the above might be wrong but it is my observation and opinion. Your mileage may vary.
Oh—the good part is that people do interact with a group in which they care and are cared for. These can be very supportive in growing in the life of the Christian. They can also be limiting.

this should be a real blow to the prosecution
WRAL.com - News - Duke Professor Calls For Special Prosecutor In Rape Case
The law prof who handled the internal duke investigation thinks a special prosecutor might be needed. When a Duke law prof is not standing with those pushing the rape charge something is going on. He seems to think the D.A. has gotten too involved.
The whole thing looks like the group has been bitten with not only group think but group shift. Thus moving them farther and farther along with no way out. They perhaps don’t look for ways out because they don’t see the need. To the insiders all might appear well and the complaints are just that—unjust complaints on those doing this fine work.

Anyway cranky or not keep your hands off the tax code

I’m working harder now than before I fell
Not really I guess abut have a few more minutes I can sit at the desktop with hurting real bad. There’s a lot of grunt work to getting a course up to the web and much of it goes easier with a full sized screen, keyboard and mouse. Also did a little research work this morning getting ready to collect data.
If I keep getting this bored I might really catch fire.

now I understand
I just watched part of the press conference about the dead Al Qaeda guy. Now I really understand why the Russians didn’t tell anyone they found Hitler’s body. Some thought they were hiding it from the west I I think they just didn’t want a press conference.

new trend here—do I have to do that?
Las Vegas SUN: Some Ohio Families Refuse to Claim Bodies
Bury relatives that is.
The trend is not stepping up to bury relatives. The cost of funerals is high and getting higher and people are upset that the family isn’t rushing to pay the freight. Is there a legal obligation? Why should you expect it? It seems people are tracking down any relative.
I know someone has to pay but should they have to pay the $6000 average? Who sets the standards—cremation is a solution—with out all the stupid rules to increase business.

French taste from a bottle
Cheating chefs leave bad taste with fake food - World - Times Online
Controversy in the realm of French food as some high end chefs are accusing other of using powered or liquid taste enhances instead of the real thing. They say this isn’t cooking and the users are cheating. Heck, I just want to get hold of the fakes. I might be able to afford the fakes but never the real thing—like truffles.
Being this stuff to the masses—especially the wine sauce from a powder although that one isn’t that hard. Or maybe I just don’t do it right anyway.

I shocked—shocked My Way News - Senate Rejects Amendment on Gay Marriage. This was a sham to start with. Everyone knew it would turn out this way. Stop debating things like this if there is not going to be a real debate. I’m tired of sound bite politics.

Is it my turn yet. Hey I’ve got a few weeks with nothing else to do.
No wait this might be one:

But just wait –why did it take so long—isn’t the timing political?—doesn’t mean much and who cares. Just giving the talking points so you won’t have to watch the coverage.

it’s 4:21—do you know where your ankle is
Mine is attached to my foot and in the recliner. I slept about 5 hours with only one break to go to visit the facilities. That is actually pretty good. Pain is almost nil will only some discomfort. I just can’t quite go back to sleep right now and probably won’t for a few hours but who knows.
This sleep pattern was actually getting like this before I fell so this is not new.
My wife is going back to work today –she has been either at the hospital or home with me all week. I think I have much of the routine down now and only wait to see what food she leaves me since I’m not venturing down the stairs.
If things go well I’ll resume the regular stupid change blogging later today.

I went for precious metals not waterfront property
That is if you count stainless steel as precious metal. Sunday as the church service was finishing up; I was taking the last of the communion wafers back to the ambry. We have a raised altar area and stone floors. I slipped on the middle step and landed on my right ankle. So off to the emergency department for x-rays and bad painkillers. They told me it was broken in a couple of places as well as dislocated. All they would say was that I broke it “real good.” When the docs start talking like Larry the Cable Guy you know you are in trouble.
They did put the thing back into place and kept me for surgery on Monday. As an “add on” I took my place near the end of the rotation. Finally got back to the room about 4:30 Monday afternoon with the actual cutting and sewing and metal work taking about 50 minutes I think.
I have a plate on one side and just screws in the other side of my right ankle. Something I’ve always wanted.
More on this later and probably much blogging as I’m stuck with putting no weight on this thing for at least 2 weeks and probably longer.
Yes it is about 4 in the morning but I’m actually sleeping better here than in the hospital. But I don’t want to take a pain pill right now and thus will just stay up a while.
Must elevate the leg so more later.
Also please feel free to laugh because the sight of a 56 year old man in church regalia falling and scattering communion wafers like they were confetti is funny.
I gotta learn a better church dance.
As best I can tell I have something like this one here only on the right ankle. The difference apparently was the angles of the breaks.

out looking at land near the river
I’ll report back if there’s anything I can afford. I doubt it. The listed price of a couple of things looked good but I couldn’t find them. So mainly just looked at things I wanted.

preconditions rarely work
Iranian foreign minister welcomes dialogue - Yahoo! News
Don’t take this as an endorsement of the Iranian position but the U.S. is trying an old trick. In fact, it’s one everyone else tries on us. You announce with great fanfare that you are at last willing to sit down and talk IF the other guys will just agree to a few things. These are usually the things you hope to get out of the bargain anyway.
You can play this but it doesn’t really work—Iran’s foreign minister was more positive, as his job requires and some attention to signal and nuance.

hurricane season begins today
FOX Sports - NHL - Game Trax
The Stanley Cup final season that is. Carolina went ahead in the first gave up two goals in the last 5 minutes of the second to go behind. [one with 4 seconds left in the period--that could have been a killer]and then scored three times in the third to win.
I could have gone to the game tonight but my wife wasn’t up to it and my son had class. I didn’t want to go by myself. Maybe I’ll be lucky and get a ticket in the finals.
BTW I know this is probably a marketing nightmare—Edmonton against Raleigh. Lucky they have a sucky TV contact anyway.
This is the second time the ‘canes have been in the finals since the move own south.
