A point of clarification. If anybody wants to get to the Torah site, they do not have to go thru Temple Judah. They can use http://DownhomeDavarTorah.blogspot.com and that will take them right to it.

Dear Jeff,

Last September I was at the United Nations, confronting Iranian ministers and even the president of Iran face-to-face. I arranged an exclusive interview between Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Fox News Network to expose his extreme apocalyptic "twelver" beliefs to the world.

I have defended the nation of Israel for decades. My first experience was in 1988 when I confronted Yasser Arafat at the 43rd General Assembly of the United Nations in Geneva. This September, the Palestinian Authority will receive official recognition of statehood by the UN, if we sleep.

More than one hundred nations worldwide have already recognized a Palestinian state. Israeli leaders estimate that as many as two-thirds of the UN members will have recognized the Palestinian state before the UN convenes in September. Germany is on the cusp of recognizing Palestinian statehood now, as is France, and the entire European Union. They will succeed in cursing Israel if we are silent.

President Obama is preparing a peace plan that he will deliver in the city of Jerusalem on June 22 at a summit meeting which I will also attend. He is going to take his proposal to Israel to confront Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Mr. Netanyahu, with whom I plan to meet in Washington, DC on May 22, will speak to a joint session of the Congress on May 24 to take his plan to the House of Representatives and the Senate in an effort to counter the Obama strategy.

President Obama fully supports Jerusalem being divided and East Jerusalem, the birthplace of Christianity, becoming the official Islamic capital of a Palestinian state. The plan is for the UN to recognize statehood for the Palestinians the same way it did for Israel in 1948.



Your ambassador to Jerusalem,

Dr. Michael Evans







This Day…



May 11, 330 C.E.



Constantine immediately recognized that Rome was too far away to deal with the eastern problems of the Empire. His solution was to locate a city on the eastern perimeter that would be considered a “New Rome,” and would serve as a second capital. At first, he planned to build on the site of ancient Troy, but soon saw the advantage of establishing the city on the site of the Greek city of Byzantium, a small trading city on the sea of Marmara, which connected with the Black Sea to the north and the Aegean to the south. It was one of the most momentious decisions in the history of Western civilization. The site gave the city control over all commercial vessels entering or leaving the Black Sea, thus placing it in a very powerful position. On May 11, 330, after forty days and nights of festivities [1] Roman Emperor Constantine I changes the name of the ancient city of Byzantium to Nova Roma (New Rome) as it becomes the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. The city will be known as Constantinople (the city of Constantine). The move is indicative of the growing power of Constantine, the emperor who redefined relations between Jews and Christains that exists into modern times. The name New Rome also helped to the schism between the Western (Catholic) Christians and their Eastern (Orthodox) co-religionists since the Christian leader of New Rome thought his powers should be equal to the Christian leader (the Pope) at old Rome.[2] The ensuing centuries witnessed the development of one of the world’s great cities. [1] [3]



May 11, 1415: Edict of Benedict XIII: Benedict XIII was enraged by the lack of voluntary conversions after the Christian "victory" at the Tortosa disputation. As a result, he banned the study of the Talmud in any form, instituted forced Christian sermons, and tried to restrict Jewish life completely.[4]

May 21, 1421: At Styria, Austria, a large number of Jews were burned. Those who were not killed were expelled from the country.[5]

Hi Jeff, I couldn't resist adding a few comments to the discussion on DNA testing. I have several Armstrong cousins who have done the FamilyTree DNA testing and I am active with the Armstrong DNA project.



For anyone who is considering doing a DNA test, I would recommend at least a 67-marker test.



The 12 marker test is adequate for identifying deep ancestry and a basic haplotype, but the additional markers become critical if you are interested (or fortunate enough) in trying to connect with 'cousins' and linking family histories within the last two or three hundred years.



Close matches at 67 markers (60 or more) indicate a high probability common ancestor within 8-16 generations.



As ever, Linda







Linda,



Thanks for your input on DNA testing. I am glad the Armstrong's are using DNA in their research. With such a large pool and common name it would be difficult to tell one line from the next when sorting through the names. Our research has some of the same problems except that with the unique DNA of the Cohen Model Haplotype most of the names are different, because Jews did not have last names so when they had to pick one they usually chose something different because they were scattered all about. Therefore, when we get DNA matches of 12 markers, we know we have a common ancestor, we just don't know when. That is when a 64 marker test will tell us a lot more about when we had a common ancestor. That said, I will take a 12 marker test any day of the week if I can get it because it tells me if we are in the same ball park. If they match up 12 that means they are Cohens and we are on the right track, whether we have the same name or not. Interestingly it does not mean they are Jewish, or even know that they ever were although most still are and they know they are Cohens, whether they took the test or not.





Linda,



So there you have it. I will take a 12 marker test, and if we match, I want a 64.





Shalom.



Jeff Goodlove

[10] Bailey once more solved a difficult engineering problem in short order. Instead of attempting to plug the swift running gap between the still intact wings of the dam just above the lower falls he decided instead to construct another at the upper falls similar to the first and thus not try any longer to sustain the weight of all that water with one dam. It was done with such dispatch his thousand man detail being thoroughly experienced in such work by now that within three days that is before sunset of the day Porter urged Banks to stand by him “even if we have to stand here and eat mule meat”, three more vessels completed their runs down the mile long rapids and over the two sets of falls. These were the veteran Eves gunboats “Mound City”, “Pittsburg” and “Corrandulet”.
