I would like to know the origin of the Christian marriage. Is it required to be married by a pastor and what is the bible reference.
Christian marriage is marriage after the pattern of the first coupleAdam and Eve (Gen. 2:21-25). That makes marriage a creation ordinance, pure and holy before God and man. Adam's fall into sin didn't change marriage, but Christ came to repair the damage done by sin, so now marriage needs the cleansing and the blessing of Christ if it is to be pleasing in his sight. So Christian marriage is simply a return to the creation ordinance.
During the Middle Ages Christian marriage was declared to be a sacrament by the Church of Rome. That means that marriage as such is impure and must therefore be purified. On this premise the Church of Rome "took charge" of marriage saying "people who think they are married are living in sin unless they are married by the church!" That is their doctrine to this day, though since VATICAN II this aspect of its teaching is de-emphasized.
But the Protestant Reformation restored the biblical teaching on marriage as a holy institution. (I have often said that there are no marriage problems; what are called marriage problems are just "people problems" which sinful people bring into marriage!)
The last part of your question"is it required to be married by a pastor?"deserves some explanation. First, the Bible doesn't look upon marriage as an exclusively church ceremony. Even the marriages mentioned in the Bible did not specify certain ceremonial requirements. For example, the marriage of Isaac and Rebecca seems to have been a private affairhe took her into his mother's tent and that was that. (Gen. 24:61-67). In the case of Jacob's marriage to Leah and later to Rachel, there was a celebration, but no mention of a ceremony (Gen. 29:16ff.) So also the wedding in Cana of Galilee (John 2:1-12).
However, marriage was a legal contract. Matthew 1:18-25 tells us that Joseph was "betrothed" to Mary. He thought, when Mary became obviously pregnant before they came together, that he must put her away (legally dissolve the betrothal) till he was told by the angel to take unto himself "Mary your wife." The betrothal was a legal compact or public record. To break that compact must be done legally. Of course, since Jesus was conceived in Mary, being still a virgin, Joseph took her into his own home. Now was that betrothal a religious or a civil ceremony? That's hard to answer since we're not told that it was due to Roman or Jewish law.
The New England Puritans regarded marriage as a civil matter rather than something tied to the church. Of course, the colonies considered themselves as Christian commonwealths.
Now to answer your second question. As far as I know, all Protestant churches regard marriage as a religious and civil ceremony. In the Orthodox Presbyterian Church marriage ceremony, when the vows and pledges are complete, the minister declares the bride and groom to be husband and wife "by virtue of the authority committed unto me by the church of Christ and the law of the state." In other words, all 50 states in the US deputize representatives of all religions to perform marriages. It leaves it up to the individual religious bodies to define who among them can perform marriages.
In the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, only ordained ministers in good standing can perform a marriage. Why? Because all of life is under the Word of God (1 Cor. 10:31). Therefore prospective brides and grooms should be instructed in the respective duties and privileges of Christian marriage. Ephesians 5:22-33 is preeminent in this instruction. And ministers are the ordained teachers of the church.
But, having said all that, marriage by a minister, priest, or justice of the peace is valid marriage. But if it is to be done under the authority of the church, it must be done biblically. Sacred vows and mutual promises are at the very heart of solemn covenants. And there is no more solemn covenant than that of marriage, since Paul says in Ephesians that marriage is patterned on the relationship between Christ and the church. In the Old Testament God permitted men to have more than one wife. And a man could divorce his wife for sufficient reasons. As you know, marriage was greatly degraded during Old Testament times. But Christ restored it to its original purity in Matthew 19:1-12. Easy divorce and polygamy were permitted earlier because of "the hardness of your hearts" (vs. 8). But Jesus reinstated monogamous marriage in his reaffirmation of the creation ordinance (Gen. 2:24) in verses 4 and 5 (Matt. 19).
I hope this covers the questions asked. Please feel free to ask for clarification on any points mentioned.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

Guests: Alexander Burns, Kathleen Kane, Peter Welch, Cynthia Tucker, Dan Lungren
MICHAEL SMERCONISH, GUEST HOST: Obama versus Romney. Whose gaffe is
Let`s play some HARDBALL.
Good evening. I`m Michael Smerconish. Chris Matthews is on a shoot
at Mount Rushmore. He`ll be back tomorrow.
Leading off tonight, a tale of two gaffes. The Romney campaign is all
over President Obama for saying the private sector is doing fine. And the
Obama campaign has pounced on Mitt Romney for saying that firemen,
policemen and teachers are akin to big government and we don`t need to hire
more of them.
Which gaffe will resonate the most? Which one will voters remember in
November? That`s where we`ll start tonight.
Plus, the political implications of an election-year investigation
into whether someone at the White House is leaking details about America`s
national security.
And back in 2008, President Obama told Hillary Clinton, "You`re
likable enough." Well, fast-forward four years. Polls show President
Obama is more likable than Mitt Romney, but does the likable candidate have
the advantage?
And today is the first day of the trial of Jerry Sandusky, the former
Penn State football coach accused of sexually abusing 10 boys.
Then, "Let Me Finish" with a president who knew the value of not
bragging on himself.
We begin with the gaffes from both President Obama and Mitt Romney.
Howard Fineman is the editorial director of the Huffington Post Media
Group. David Corn is the Washington bureau chief for "Mother Jones"
magazine and the author of the book "Showdown." Both men, of course, are
MSNBC political analysts.
Gentlemen, here`s what the president said on Friday. In context, he
was comparing job growth in the private sector to the less rosy picture in
the public sector, but he gave Republicans a big opportunity to jump on his
words. Let`s watch.
BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: The truth of the matter
is that, as I said, we`ve created 4.3 million jobs over the last two -- 27
months, over 800,000 just this year alone. The private sector is doing
fine. Where we`re seeing weaknesses in our economy have to do with state
and local government, oftentimes cuts initiated by, you know, governors or
mayors who are not getting the kind of help that they have in the past from
the federal government.
SMERCONISH: Later in the day, the president backtracked. He said
that the economy was clearly not doing fine. But it was too late. The
Romney camp had already put up a pair of Web videos showing the president
as out of touch. Let`s watch.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We`ve seen layoffs, cutbacks.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: When it`s all said and done, I`m making $200 a
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I`ve been looking for a job for two years,
haven`t found any.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You know, I had to file my own personal
bankruptcy. I had to close my business.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Here I am, no health care and a slashed pension.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I just lost my job recently.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I have to work part-time in order to make ends
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sometimes I feel like I`m a failure.
OBAMA: The private sector is doing fine.
The private sector is doing fine.
The private sector is doing fine.
SMERCONISH: Howard Fineman, what`s the shelf life of this kerfuffle?
Oh, I`m not sure exactly what the shelf life is. But boy, it was a gift
from the gods for the Romney campaign because they`ve been desperately
trying to show or claim that the president is more out of touch than Mitt
Romney in the sort of out-of-touchness race. And Mitt Romney`s been
leading in that race all year, especially with the elevators and the garage
and the wealth and that kind of stuff. So they want to try to make that
And the other thing is that there`s an oppo guy running the -- running
the Romney campaign, Matt Rose (ph), who`s trained in oppo. They pounced
on this. And Stu Stevens (ph), the media guy, has going around to job
fairs, getting sort of grainy black and white pictures of people
complaining about what`s happened to them in the economy.
So this was a perfect thing for them to try to meet the arguing,
debating points they`ve been trying to set up all year.
SMERCONISH: Well, David, it seems to me that in order for it to be
effective, the Romney campaign has got to convince folks that he actually
meant it -- "he" being the president, that he actually meant it when he
said it and it just wasn`t misspoken words.
DAVID CORN, "MOTHER JONES," MSNBC POLITICAL ANALYST: Well, that would
be nice if they had to do that, but politics is a medium of impressions.
It doesn`t have to be accurate for it to work. It just has to resonate
with people. And right now, the economy is not doing well.
And as Howard mentioned, the Romney campaign is trying to, you know,
get this point across, embed this point in the electorate that Obama is out
of touch, he doesn`t really understand the economy, he doesn`t get the
economy. And so when he says the, you know, private sector is doing just
fine, that`s evidence to them.
Now, of course, given the full context of the remark, it`s not what he
really meant to say. It`s not his intention. It doesn`t really show -- it
was a slipup and it was a gaffe. That`s why we call it a gaffe.
What Romney said, which I assume we`ll get to in a moment, was not a
gaffe, it was a policy position. But in the battle of 30-second hit ads,
you don`t have to get it right for the ad to sometimes be effective.
SMERCONISH: We are going to get -- you are right. We`re going to get
to that in just a moment.
Howard, when I heard what the president had said, I thought, It`s deja
vu all over again, for many of us. His comments were reminiscent of some
unfortunate things that John McCain said four years ago in the face of
growing economic crisis, when he had this to say.
SEN. JOHN MCCAIN (R-AZ), NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT: There`s been
tremendous turmoil in our financial markets and Wall Street. And it is --
it`s -- people are frightened by these events. Our economy, I think, still
-- the fundamentals of our economy are strong, but these are very, very
difficult times.
SMERCONISH: Howard, compare the two and contrast them.
FINEMAN: Well, I think the similarity is that both speakers were
trying to make a -- to leverage a point by overstating, to some extent,
something else.
The president wanted to point out the fact that there`s been a
disaster in public employment in part because of the failure of Republicans
or the refusal of the Republicans to go along with pumping more money into
state and local governments to pay for police, for fire, for teachers and
other government workers. And there`s been an absolute wipeout in terms of
public sector employment.
That`s the point he wanted to make. But he colored it a little too
deeply on the other side in order to jujitsu in that point, if I can mix my
metaphors horribly.
FINEMAN: And John McCain was trying to do the same thing. He wanted
to be a reassuring -- he wanted, on the one hand, to say that he understood
how deeply troubled we were as a country economically, but that we were
strong as a nation. And that -- you know, that`s a Republican talking
point. And after all, he was coming after two terms of a Republican
president. He didn`t want to completely say the country is a disaster
because he was following George Bush.
SMERCONISH: Let`s shift the other side of the aisle now because as
David mentioned, last week, as Mitt Romney was trying to keep the attention
on Obama`s poor choice of words, the Republican candidate said something
that he, himself, has now raised eyebrows with. Let watch.
MITT ROMNEY (R-MA), FMR. GOV., PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: He wants
another stimulus. He wants to hire more government workers. He says we
need more firemen, more policemen, more teachers. Did he not get the
message of Wisconsin? The American people did! It`s time for us to cut
back on government and help the American people!
SMERCONISH: And of course, David Axelrod and others were then quick
to criticize Romney. Yesterday, Axelrod said that Romney must be living on
a different planet if he thinks that we don`t need more teachers,
firefighters and police. And he continued the attack this morning. Here
it is.
DAVID AXELROD, ROMNEY CAMPAIGN SENIOR ADVISER: We`ve lost 250,000
teachers the last 27 months as we were gaining these public -- these
private sector jobs. Does anybody really believe that we don`t need more
teachers, that we can keep whacking teachers and that we`re going to
advance as a country?
SMERCONISH: David, the mistake here is that the GOP playbook says,
Talk about bureaucrats, faceless, nameless bureaucrats. You may or may not
talk about teachers. They`re in a category all themselves. But you
certainly don`t talk about firefighters or police if the issue are
positions you`re going to cut.
CORN: Well, yes. The Republicans and conservatives for decades now
have attacked government, but when they attack government, they don`t talk
about it being, say, nurses in a public hospital or teachers and
firefighters, rescue workers, police officers because they know those are
popular positions and that people want those things.
People in cities want more cops if there are high-crime areas, even in
rural areas. People want more teachers. But yet, you know, Mitt Romney
went out there and acted as if that was a bad thing, not just to lift
employment but a bad thing overall.
It was just a week or two back, he was in your town, Michael. He was
in Philly, and he was disputing the need for more teachers to get smaller
class sizes. You know, my 5th grader just graduated from elementary school
today, and I was there. I was looking at some of these big classes, a
public school, and I`m saying, you know, it`s just pretty obvious that we
could compete better in our educational needs with other nations if we had
more teachers out there, good teachers, of course.
But yet for Mitt Romney to just sort of blow that off? The difference
between what he said and what Obama said was Obama`s was a gaffe. This
really seemed to indicate what Mitt Romney is thinking and what he would
like to do to this country.
SMERCONISH: Howard -- Howard, I know you gave a 4.5 on the Howard
Fineman Richter scale in terms of the president`s gaffe.
SMERCONISH: On a 1 to 10, where would you place this poor word choice
from Mitt Romney?
FINEMAN: Well, I would put it at a 5 for the reason -- a 5 for the
reason that David said.
SMERCONISH: Really?
FINEMAN: Well, it was intentional. It was -- and so I give him extra
points for that. And also, there were divisions within his own party over
it. Scott Walker...
SMERCONISH: Well, as a matter of fact, I can -- I can -- allow me to
make your point. And you can react to this.
FINEMAN: Yes.
SMERCONISH: The governor of Wisconsin...
FINEMAN: Yes.
SMERCONISH: ... to whom you were just referring, distanced himself
from Romney`s statement on Friday. On Sunday, Walker was asked if Romney
was right about what he called the, quote, "message of Wisconsin." He
emphasized that his state has tried to protect firefighters, police
officers, teachers. Here it is.
BOB SCHIEFFER, HOST, "FACE THE NATION": Well, do you think Governor
Romney is talking about getting rid of more teachers and firemen?
GOV. SCOTT WALKER (R), WISCONSIN: No. I think, in the end, the big
issue is that the private sector still needs more help, and the answer`s
not more big government. I know in my state, our reforms allowed us to
protect firefighters, police officers and teachers. That`s not what I
think when I think of big government.
I think the bigger sense is more government regulations, more
stimulus, more things that take money out of the private sector and put it
in the hands of the government.
SMERCONISH: Howard, that`s the clip to which you were referring.
What point did you want to make?
FINEMAN: Well, I wanted to make the point that not just the governor
but others that I talked to can -- pretty sharp conservative strategists
like Steven Law (ph), who runs American Crossroads for Karl Rove, said,
Look, we have to be very careful on this issue of public employees.
If we can go after some lavish pensions from some faceless
bureaucrats, great. That`s a winner for us. But as we learned elsewhere,
including in Ohio, if it`s framed in terms of police, fire and teachers --
and that`s what Steve said to me -- then we`ve got to be very careful.
We`re probably going to end up on the wrong side of that.
SMERCONISH: Right.
FINEMAN: So if that is, in fact, Romney`s strategy that he`s going to
pursue -- and seems he was pursuing it because they put out their number
one surrogate this morning, John Sununu, on television to double down on
the Romney line -- then it seems like something like -- the rule of holes
is when you`re in one, stop digging. I`m not sure that Romney`s going to
stop digging on this one.
SMERCONISH: Gentlemen, thank you both. Wish we had more time for
Howard Fineman and David Corn. Coming up...
FINEMAN: Thank you.
CORN: Thank you.
SMERCONISH: ... what does it mean for the White House now that
Attorney General Eric Holder is investigating whether top secret national
security details were leaked? That`s ahead.
This is HARDBALL, the place for politics.
SMERCONISH: So you might not have known the name of the commerce
secretary, but chances are, you do now. John Bryson was cited for felony
hit-and-run after a pair of car crashes in southern California over the
Bryson allegedly rear-ended a car stopped for a passing train, talked
briefly with the people in the car, then hit it again as he pulled away.
Minutes later, he allegedly hit another car, and police found him alone and
The Commerce Department said that Bryson had suffered a seizure.
We will be right back.
OBAMA: The notion that my White House would purposely release
classified national security information is offensive. It`s wrong.
SMERCONISH: Welcome back to HARDBALL. That, of course, was President
Obama on Friday. And about seven hours later, Attorney General Eric Holder
assigned two U.S. attorneys to look into possible leaks.
In the past months, major stories involving national security have
given rise to leak questions. One, a report on the U.S. effort to damage
Iranian nuclear capabilities with a computer virus. Two was a report on
Obama`s role selecting terrorist targets for drone attacks. Three was a
report on an al Qaeda bomb plot foiled with the U.S. with the help of a
double agent.
How will this investigation affect the Obama administration and the
presidential race? Republican congressman Dan Lungren of California is on
the Homeland Security Committee. Democratic Congressman Peter Welch of
Vermont is on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Gentlemen, in this weekend`s "New York Times," Charlie Savage reports
that leaking is not illegal. And he wrote, quote, "Many people are
surprised to learn that there is no law against disclosing classified
information in and of itself."
Congressman Lungren, I am one of those individuals who was surprised
to hear this news. What is the law in this regard?
REP. DAN LUNGREN, R-CALIFORNIA: Well, you don`t have a right to
declassify information. There are strict rules set up for classified
information, particularly of the level that we`re talking about, revealed,
if true, in these articles, particularly the one dealing with the effort on
cyberattack with Iran. So there are criminal laws that can apply.
We don`t know all the facts involved here. But the thing that is most
disturbing is that if that program went forward as was described, if that
is true, that was good for this country, but no good comes of revealing it
and revealing facts with respect to it, no moreso than when you`re talking
about something that could reveal a double agent.
These are serious issues. These are deadly issues. These are issues
that go to the national security interests of the United States, and no one
should take it lightly. And frankly, I`m pleased that we have two
prosecutors that have been named.
I`m not a big fan of special prosecutors because I`ve seen that abuse
in the past, but I applaud the attorney general for appointing these two.
And frankly, it`s their reputation at stake, not the attorney general`s, as
to how they follow the leads in these particular cases.
SMERCONISH: And Congressman Lungren, is the suspicion -- do you share
the suspicion that there`s a political, perhaps, motivation here to make
the president look strong with regard to the war on to terror?
LUNGREN: Well, as someone who`s investigated criminal cases in the
past, you have to look at what the evidence is. And thus far, that which
appears, at least in public, can lead to no other conclusion than this
helped in a political way the president of the United States.
That doesn`t mean the president was involved, but there is no...
SMERCONISH: Right.
LUNGREN: There`s no reason for someone to reveal it. It doesn`t help
our interest. It hurts our interest. It harms people involved. It makes
us less secure, rather than most secure.
And one of the things that`s most troubling is, if you read these
reports, they suggest they had multiple sources. And if you read the level
of detail that`s involved, these facts, if they are, in fact, facts, would
suggest that you had to have some people at the highest level to either
initiate that information or to confirm it. That`s what`s very troubling,
as far as I`m concerned.
SMERCONISH: Congressman Welch, I guess if I`m reading the tea leaves
from a distance, I say the president doesn`t need help in this regard. In
other words, his record relative to the war on terror, the successful
mission to kill Osama bin Laden, the increase of the drone attacks, the
willingness to go into Pakistan despite the sovereign status of that
country -- it`s illogical to me that someone acting on his behalf would
think that they need to trump up his muscles in that regard.
What are your thoughts?
REP. PETER WELCH, D-VERMONT: Well, that`s exactly right.
I half agree with Dan, and, in fact, the president agrees with Dan.
And the point is that you cannot be leaking classified information. That`s
number one.
Number two, this president has been extremely aggressive -- actually
to chagrin of many Democrats -- because he has initiated six prosecutions
for leaks. And all the presidents who preceded him only did three. And
then the third thing -- this really goes to the point you just made.
Senator McCain is calling for a censure or I guess a resolution in the
Senate. Basically, that`s to divert attention from the fact that the
foreign policy has been very aggressive in the Obama administration. Iraq,
we have brought our troops home. Afghanistan, they are coming home. Osama
bin Laden has been taken out.
And, of course, the president has an aggressive policy on the use of
drones. So if you can`t criticize the policy, make something up that`s a
SMERCONISH: Senator -- or Congressman Lungren, Senator John McCain
commented on the possible source of the national security leaks. Here`s
what he said.
SEN. JOHN MCCAIN (R), ARIZONA: It`s obvious on its face that this
information came from individuals who are in the administration. The
president may not have done it himself, but the president is certainly
responsible, as commander in chief.
SMERCONISH: And then, this morning, Obama campaign senior adviser
David Axelrod pushed back. He said the following.
DAVID AXELROD, SENIOR OBAMA CAMPAIGN STRATEGIST: Well, I don`t know
where they came from, Charlie.
QUESTION: Was it in the White House?
AXELROD: Absolutely not. The last thing that he would want, the last
thing anyone in the White House wants is to do anything that would
jeopardize those missions or jeopardize those Americans. So, he is as
outraged about it as any...
SMERCONISH: So, Congressman Lungren, what are the politics of this?
Might the investigation that`s about to take place cool this situation,
politically speaking, or can you see it inflaming it?
LUNGREN: Well, look, this is probably not the answer you want, but I
frankly don`t care about the politics.
I care about the actual facts, the substance of what`s happened. This
has hurt the national security interests of the United States. Now, either
"The New York Times" was lying when they say that the kinds of things that
they put in there were -- they received from people within government and
had it confirmed by people in government, or, in fact, they are telling the
If you look at the level of detail, if you look at the decision-making
that is articulated in here, described in here, it has to come not just
from mid-level officials, but from higher-up officials. That`s what`s so
concerning to me.
Politically, you look at it and you say, why would someone do this?
It is not -- it doesn`t advance the interest of the United States. It does
make a more personal political positive for the president. And so I`m not
saying the president did it, but somebody did it for some reason.
They didn`t just seek out "The New York Times" or someone else to let
them know for no reason whatsoever. I presume there was some motivation
involved. I happen to think that is the grossest kind of political
nonsense that harms this nation and we ought to get to the bottom of it. I
don`t care how high it is.
We ought to find out who it is and they ought to be punished because
this does, in my judgment, risk lives of Americans and particularly risks
lives of those who assist Americans around the world. It is going to put a
negative impact on those who wish to help United States or would wish to
help United States if they don`t think that we can keep our mouths shut.
It is that simple.
SMERCONISH: Congressman Welch, please take 30 seconds for a quick
response, and then we are out of time.
WELCH: Well, the president agrees.
I mean, he is absolutely adamantly opposed to any leaking of
classified information. And he said very explicitly that that can
jeopardize operations and jeopardize national security and jeopardize
safety. So, he is on the job there.
And the attorney general has two crack assistant U.S. attorneys to do
this -- or U.S. attorneys to do this. So there`s agreement there. Where
it goes off the rails is when you get into this motivational speculation
that is obviously self-serving, and where you`re saying that the president
or somebody on his behalf did it to bolster a reputation that actually
doesn`t, on foreign policy, need bolstering.
SMERCONISH: Thank you. Thank you both.
Thank you, Congressman Dan Lungren and Congressman Peter Welch. We
appreciate your time.
LUNGREN: Thank you.
SMERCONISH: And I mentioned at the top of the show that Chris is out
at Mount Rushmore. He is doing a promotional shoot for MSNBC. And we have
got some pictures of him there beneath the heads of Washington, Jefferson,
Teddy Roosevelt, and Lincoln. He will be back here hosting HARDBALL
tomorrow night.
And we will be right back.
SMERCONISH: Welcome back to HARDBALL. Now for the "Sideshow."
First off, doughnuts, anyone? Mitt Romney doesn`t have the best of
luck when it comes to accepting treats on the campaign trail. You remember
when he inadvertently insulted a small bakery owner and 7/Eleven during an
event in Pennsylvania?
MITT ROMNEY (R), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I`m not sure about these
cookies. You know, they don`t look like you made them.
Did you make those cookies? You didn`t, did you?
ROMNEY: They came from the local...
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Bakery.
ROMNEY: ... 7/Eleven, bakery, or wherever.
SMERCONISH: Well, the bakery owner behind those cookies was less than
Anyway, here is what when down when Romney asked an aide to grab a few
snacks for the road at an event in Iowa on Friday.
ROMNEY: Derek (ph), would you see that one of those chocolate --
those chocolate goodies finds its way to our ride? I will be doing some
testing on that one right there.
SMERCONISH: When was the last time that that you heard the D-word,
doughnut, referred to as a chocolate goody? It is right up there with
Romney being surprised that a guy who is seven feet tall was not -- quote -
- "in sport," sport, as in basketball.
And now for some veep watch news. Some Republicans came as close as
they are ever going to get to casting a ballot specifically for a vice
presidential candidate. Friday marked the vice presidential straw poll at
CPAC in Chicago.
The top three contenders? Well, Marco Rubio in first with 30 percent
of the votes, followed by Chris Christie with 14, and Paul Ryan with 9
percent. Noticeably absent from the top of the list, Ohio Senator Rob
Now, a lot of folks think that he is the guy we are going to see on
the ticket with Romney. Mike Huckabee also didn`t rack up support, but
apparently he is not anticipating a call from team Romney.
MIKE HUCKABEE (R), FORMER ARKANSAS GOVERNOR: I have not been asked.
I think there`s a greater likelihood that I will be asked by Madonna to go
on tour as her bass player...
HUCKABEE: ... than I will be picked to be on the ticket.
SMERCONISH: You know, that wasn`t totally out of left field.
Huckabee has been known to show up at political events with his guitar in
Finally, move over, Ronald Reagan, and George Herbert Walker Bush as
well, for that matter. Last week, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush said
that, even though 2012 might have been his opportunity to run for
president, his willingness to compromise on issues like revenue increases
could have been a deal-breaker for the GOP base.
Well, today, he went back another generation while speaking with
reporters in Manhattan -- quote -- "Ronald Reagan would have, based on his
record of finding accommodation, finding some degree of common ground -- as
would my dad -- they would have had a hard time if you define the
Republican Party as having an orthodoxy that doesn`t allow for
disagreement, doesn`t allow for finding some common ground. Back to my
dad`s time and Ronald Reagan`s time, they got a lot of stuff done with a
lot of bipartisan support."
We all saw the 2012 Republican candidates make a big show of invoking
Reagan throughout the primary season, but were they kidding? If Reagan had
been a contender this time around, according to Jeb, he would have been
drummed out early on.
Up next, is President Obama`s likability enough to overcome the
struggling economy? That`s ahead.

to HARDBALL.
SEN. HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON (D-NY), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: He is
very likable. I -- I agree with that. I don`t think I`m that bad.
SEN. BARACK OBAMA (D-IL), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: You are likable
enough, Hillary, no doubt...
CLINTON: Thank you.
SMERCONISH: Welcome back to HARDBALL.
That was Hillary Clinton and then-candidate Barack Obama in the 2008
New Hampshire debate. Hillary proved herself to be likable enough. She
won the state and resurrected her campaign. Obama took the hit for what
many thought was a patronizing dismissal of her.
But candidate Obama remained very likable and the goodwill is holding
throughout his first term. Can it carry him to reelection amid a
challenging political and economic climate?
Cynthia Tucker is a visiting professor at the University of Georgia
and a syndicated columnist. Alex Burns is a national political reporter
for Politico.
Ladies, here are the numbers. According to the latest NBC News/"Wall
Street Journal" poll, President Obama`s personal favorability rating is
eight points higher than his unfavorable. But his job approval numbers are
much closer, at 48-46. That is a statistical tie.
Cynthia, what`s the story behind those numbers?
CYNTHIA TUCKER, UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA: Well, I think it`s pretty
clear. The economy is still not in great shape. And that has been
dragging down the president`s job approval rating for some time now.
The good news for him is it isn`t as bad as it might have been.
Having said that, it is clear that people still like the president very
much. Now, that certainly doesn`t apply to hard-core Republicans, who hate
him. But many Americans like the president.
SMERCONISH: Right.
TUCKER: He`s a good guy. He is a good father, a good husband. He
projects warmth on the campaign trail. And so that has helped him, I
think, some.
SMERCONISH: And, Alex, you wrote about this for Politico.
I think Cynthia is right in terms of characterizing what drives the
personal favorability numbers. The question is, is it enough? You know,
it presents that old beer question. Many people think we select presidents
based on with whom would you rather have a beer. Well, if that is the
decision in this case, it will be to the benefit of the president.
ALEXANDER BURNS, POLITICO: It sure will, Michael.
And this really goes to the heart of just one of the big interpretive
debates between Republican and Democratic pollsters in this election. If
you go to the Democratic side, to the president`s team, they will say these
favorability numbers show that there is still a level of trust, a residual
affection from the president from 2008, that people are willing to
basically give him the benefit of the doubt on most big issues.
The way Republicans interpret those numbers that Cynthia was talking
about is that you are sort of starting to see Americans give themselves
permission to vote against a president they like, that you are seeing
people say to pollsters, I like the guy, he`s a good father, seems like he
would be a good neighbor, trustworthy guy, cares about people like me, but
he is not up to the job.
And the truth is, I don`t think we really know which one of those
interpretations really hits the nail on the head at this stage in the
SMERCONISH: Alex, I am a knucklehead. I changed your gender because
I didn`t have a monitor.
SMERCONISH: And I apologize to you.
BURNS: It happens.
SMERCONISH: Maybe it is for the better. Who knows.
SMERCONISH: Hey, Mitt Romney`s favorability is four points below his
unfavorable number, but a quarter of the nation is still making up their
Cynthia, same question. Go behind that data. What is going on with
regard to the Romney numbers? Is it because he was beat up all during
primary season?
TUCKER: That certainly has something to do with it, but it is also
true that Mitt Romney is a geeky, awkward candidate on the campaign trail.
He doesn`t project a lot of personal warmth. He doesn`t seem the kind of
guy you would want to sit down and have a beer with. So, that hurts him,
And the fact that so many voters have not yet decided whether they
like Romney, they don`t know enough about him yet, helps explain why the
Obama campaign is getting out there early and often trying to define him.
One of their strategies is define Mitt Romney negatively before he has a
chance to define himself.
Define him as a guy who doesn`t relate to average folks. Define him
as a guy who doesn`t even treat his dog very well. Define him as a guy who
is building another huge House With an elevator for his cars in it. So,
that`s one of the things that the Obama campaign is focusing on. If people
don`t yet know what to make of him, let`s tell them he is not a good guy.
SMERCONISH: You know, Alex, there is a school of thought out there
that says it is all an irrelevancy, meaning the numbers on the Romney side
of the equation, that, in the end, this race will be a referendum on the
president, pure and simple. What do you make of that?
BURNS: Well, I think that`s certainly the hope among many
And, Michael, I think you have seen Romney keep a very low-profile
schedule, just a couple public events a week, since he won the Republican
nomination, and a lot of that is about just sort of letting the president
sink on his own with the bad economic numbers.
But, as we get into the fall, particularly as we get into the
conventions and the presidential debates, you know, Americans are going to
see these two guys right next to each other. And I do think it has to be
troublesome to some degree for Republicans that Romney came out of the
primary with a very high unfavorable numbers that he did. You have seen
those numbers come back to a more manageable area as conservatives come
around to supporting him but still, a little bit too high for comfort.
SMERCONISH: Hey, thank you both, Cynthia Tucker and Alexander Burns.
We appreciate you being here.
BURNS: Thank you.
SMERCONISH: Up next, we will get a report on day one of the trial of
Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State football coach accused of sexually
abusing 10 young boys.
This is HARDBALL, the place for politics.
SMERCONISH: Voters in Arizona go to the polls tomorrow for the
special election to fill the congressional seat vacated by Gabby Giffords.
And this weekend, Giffords campaigned for the Democrat in the race, Ron
Barber, who was a long-time Giffords aide. Giffords went to a get out the
vote concert and visited a phone bank, where she was greeted with cheers,
hugs and kisses. Barber faces Republican Jesse Kelly in tomorrow`s
We`ll be right back.
SMERCONISH: We are back.
The trial began this morning for former Penn State assistant football
coach Jerry Sandusky, who faces more than 50 criminal counts of sexual
abuse against 10 boys during a 15-year span, charges that Sandusky has
Just a warning to our viewers, some of the testimony today was
disturbing. The first witness called by the prosecution, now an adult,
described repeated alleged incident of fondling and oral sex when he was a
teenager involved in Sandusky`s Second Mile program.
For the latest on this case, let me bring in NBC`s Michael Isikoff,
covering the trial in Centre County, Pennsylvania.
Michael, what`s the takeaway from day one?
MICHAEL ISIKOFF, NBC NEWS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER: Pretty gripping
testimony. We had victim four, always believed to be one of the strongest
witnesses right off the bat, describing over 40 acts of sexual contact
between him and Sandusky, starting from when he was a small little kid,
barely in his teens and continuing for years, often in the shower, the
sauna. Sandusky attempting to use horsing around as sort of foreplay for
sexual contacts.
And it was -- it was pretty, pretty eye-popping testimony. The young
man who testified seemed very straightforward, almost matter of fact on it
-- about it. And then when Joe Amendola, Sandusky`s lawyer, trying to
cross-examine him, he got very testy, very combative, might have lost a few
points there by being that sort of combative. But Amendola really didn`t
nick him, asked him a few questions that seemed to indicate he might have
some blockbuster piece of information that could undermine the witness`s
credibility, but he didn`t really have it.
SMERCONISH: Michael, you`re reporting that more charges could be
possible against Penn State officials. The word "humane" pops up in some
e-mails. Could you give us the cliff`s note version of that?
ISIKOFF: Yes, this is the -- this maybe the largest story in this
case. Prosecutors recently got hold of a cache of e-mails and documents
from 2001, discussing that Mike McQueary allegation about having seen
Sandusky in the shower with a young boy. And you know, the officials,
Carly Schultz and Graham Spanier, the former president testified they
didn`t view it as that serious they can viewed it as horsing around. In
fact, these e-mails showed they took it very seriously, they debated
whether they needed to report this to local authorities.
And one e-mail exchange, the officials agreed it would be humane to
Sandusky not to report this allegation to local authorities. It never gets
reported. And according to prosecutors, Sandusky`s abuse of kids continued
for another seven years.
SMERCONISH: Michael, thank you for your report. We appreciate it
very much.
ISIKOFF: Thank you.
SMERCONISH: Kathleen Kane is the Democratic candidate for
Pennsylvania attorney general. She is last former sex crimes prosecutor.
Kathleen, there are 10 alleged victims, as you know, eight of them
are known, two of them run known. One of the two is the alleged victim in
the Mike McQueary incident, for lack of a better description. As you know,
the defense opening statement today spent a lot of time beating up on Mike
I want to ask you, with your prosecutorial expertise, doe s it make
sense for the prosecution to have dropped that case and instead proceed
with nine and take off the table the baggage that McQueary perhaps will
bring to this trial?
KATHLEEN KANE (D), PA ATTORNEY GEN. CANDIDATE: No, I don`t think it
makes sense to do that. I would have kept all of the cases and all of the
victims for this reason -- because the defense is starting to make the case
that all of the victims got together and created this mass conspiracy to
come up with a virtual lies against Jerry Sandusky, all to file civil
suits. Mike McQueary is an independent witness who saw these sexual
contact and sexual acts taking place in the shower.
The fact that he is there and able and willing to testify that he saw
these events occur, independent of any of the other witnesses` testimony,
even without victim number two, goes to the credibility of the witness and
to the prosecution`s case and also diminishes the defense`s argument that
is this mass conspiracy against Jerry Sandusky.
SMERCONISH: OK. Another question for you. I think very apropos for
you, given your knowledge of the state and the political dynamics here. At
the end of the defense opening statement, Joe Amendola talked and raised
questions about why wasn`t Sandusky wasn`t Sandusky arrested in `08? Why
wasn`t he arrested in `09? In 2012, et cetera?
I thought he was weaving together a political argument and pointing a
finger without naming the current governor, the then attorney general of
Pennsylvania. Is that how you interpreted that portion of the opening
KANE: Yes. That`s exactly what it sounds like. I believe what the
defense attorney is trying to do is to say to the jurors, don`t look at
what Sandusky did. Don`t look at the facts against Sandusky. We want you
to look over here. We want to give you an extraneous argument so that
we`re taking your attention off all the facts and evidence that goes to the
guilt of Mr. Sandusky.
So, what they`re trying to do is create almost a side show. That
sometimes happens in criminal cases. And it sounds like that`s what
they`re going for here.
SMERCONISH: The testimony of one of the 10 alleged victims is now
concluded. He`s put on his direct testimony and he`s been cross examined.
It also becomes obvious, Kathleen Kane, that the defense strategy is going
to drill on the fact these young men continued with their relationship with
Jerry Sandusky as if to challenge their credibility because they were on
friendly terms.
Given your background in prosecuting these sexual predator cases, is
it unusual you would find a victim maintaining some decorum of relationship
with a perpetrator?
KANE: It is not unusual at all. The way the perpetrator gained
their victims was by gaining their trust. They`d give them things. They
make the victims believe they can`t survive without the perpetrator even
though they`re getting these heinous acts convicted against them.
So, it`s hard to get beyond that circle of trust and to get out of
that bubble and to feel safe with anyone else. And don`t forget. Nine
times out of 10, child sexual assault victims know and trust and love their
-- the perpetrators or the predators. That is a very hard thing for a
child to overcome. They are trusting by nature. The fact that --
KANE: Go ahead.
SMERCONISH: We have just 30 seconds left. Do I need to eat crow? I
was predicting that this case would end in a plea where trial has now begun
earnest, it would appear we`re headed to verdict.
KANE: I wouldn`t eat crow just yet. I believe that at any point as
long as the prosecution agrees to it -- at any point, there could be a
guilty plea. At sometimes, the defendant has to have the jury seated and
the witnesses` testimony before they decide to plead guilty. I wouldn`t do
it just yet.
SMERCONISH: Well, Amendola made it hazy as to whether Sandusky would
testify in his own defense. I could never see him doing so after the Bob
Costas interview. Thank you very much, Kathleen Kane.
When we return --
KANE: Thank you.
SMERCONISH: -- allow let me finish with a birthday tribute to a
president who knew the value of not bragging on himself.
You`re watching HARDBALL, the place for politics.
SMERCONISH: Tomorrow is President George Herbert Walker Bush`s 88th
First, my bias. In college I had the amazing experience of traveling
across the country and sometimes around the globe doing advance work for
the vice president. In his term as president, I was appointee to a sub
level cabinet position in his administration.
And now, the facts. When he ran for the presidency in 1980, his
slogan was: a president we don`t have to train. That was a reflection of
the by that point in his career, he`d already been a war hero, member of
Congress, U.N. ambassador, envoy to China, and head of the CIA. Soon
thereafter, he would add the credentials of vice president and commander in
History will record him as the man who signed into law the Americans
with Disabilities Act, who did raise taxes, who instituted a ban on assault
rifles and later renounced his lifetime membership in the NRA. He
president over the fall of the Berlin Wall, signed with START I with
Gorbachev, drove Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait, and began the NAFTA
When he ran and won in 1988, he offered six words that would come
back to haunt him four years later. Funny thing, he would later form a
close personal bond with the man who beat him, Bill Clinton.
I admire much about George Herbert Walker Bush, mostly how he`s lived
his parents` edict of never bragging on himself. Let me give an example,
when he left the White House, he did not write the memoir. Instead this
traditionalist, having been raised in a year of letter writing and not
texting, decided to assemble his life in correspondence. Letters written
to him and by him were put together chronologically. And those accounts
created in real time became the record of his life titled "All the Best,"
they are unvarnished and offer a portrait of the man.
Here`s a sampling. On September 2nd, 1944, Bush`s plane was shot
down off the island of Chichi Jima. It was rescued by the USS Finback.
The next day, he wrote to his parents, quote, "Dear mother and dad,
this will be the first letter you`ve gotten from me in a good long while.
I wish I could tell you that as I wrote this, I`m feeling well and happy.
Physically I`m OK, but I`m troubled inside and with good cause."
He then proceeded to tell his parents what had happened on what he
described as a bombing hop, including the loss of two colleagues. Bush was
able to bail from the burning airplane and while parachuting towards sea
saw the smoldering craft hit the water.
Some other lines from that long letter, "I`m afraid I was pretty much
of a sissy about it because I sat in my raft and I sobbed awhile. My heart
aches for the families of those two boys with me. And it was funny how
much I thought about Bar during the whole experience. Much much love to
you all, your ever devoted and loving son, pop."
George Bush had enlisted on his 18th birthday. He postponed the
start of his college education at Yale so that he could serve his country
and was for awhile the Navy`s youngest aviator.
Maureen Dowd wrote glowingly of him yesterday. And on Thursday, HBO
will televise a 90-minute documentary celebrating his life aptly named "41"
produced by Jerry Weintraub.
It`s nice to see him receiving accolades while he`s with us. Too
often we offer praise only in eulogies. As we would say here in Chris`
hometown, George Herbert Walker Bush is good people. He was a president we
didn`t have to train.
Happy birthday, Mr. President.
That`s HARDBALL for now. Thanks for being with us.

We spent a short time with the new Canon Powershot N and found that even though the square body makes it a little awkward to use, it's pretty fun at the same time. As a full-time camera, the cute gimmicky form factor is limiting. But as a little secondary camera? A blast.
The camera is light and easily pocketable, although the flip up screen and its hinge give it a chintzy feel. You can take a picture by pushing the lens ring down. It's neat, although trying to zoom by twisting the dial accidentally fired away one too many times. I'm sure with a few more tries, you can easily get the hang of it.
Running through the touchscreen isn't exactly Speedy Gonzalez fast, but it's not slow enough to ruin the experience. We didn't get a chance to test the N's Wi-Fi connectivity with a smartphone, or see the automatic filters it can place on a picture—the battery died halfway through our hands-on.
The Canon N is most definitely an intriguing camera but even for as cute as it looks, we'd still need a bit more convincing that the square camera accessory is worth the 300 bucks.

Holstein Tower
Hansa Garden
Since 1987 a slim white needle has pointed upwards into the white-blue North German sky. The landmark on the Baltic Sea coast stands 100m tall, and blowing in the wind on its top is a giant flag of the Federal State of Schleswig-Holstein measuring an unbelievable 30 square metres in size. The viewing gallery with floor-to-ceiling windows, that looks as if it comes straight from the future, goes upward with rotating movements allowing guests a fantastic view of the overwhelmingly beautiful landscape of the Holstein lake district, beyond the Lübeck Bay all the way to Mecklenburg – an old world re-discovered from a new perspective.
- Indoor or roofed
- For disabled guests

I Installed team viewer quick support on Mxq 4K pro and when I open it sends me to the advanced tab, so I click Install addon and the following message is showed:
Remotely Control this device
This device supports the addcional "remote control" feature. Please contact out support for further information.
OS firmware: AOSP 1
What I have to do?
Thank in advance,
Llevo usando este programa en diversos telefonos y nunca tuve un problema hasta hoy, el caso esque he adquirido un Xaomi Redme 4x y cuando intento entrar en el desde mi Samsung Galaxy S7 bien pero a la hora de entrar en el Xiaomi no me deja hacer nada, sale un dedo, el teclado esta desactivado, no puedo abrir nada, os dejo un video del problema, gracias, espero porfavor que se resuelva cuanto antes.
Google translator:
I have been using this program on various phones and never had a problem until today, the case I have purchased a Xaomi Redme 4x and when I try to enter the Samsung Galaxy S7 right but when entering the Xiaomi does not let me do anything , a finger comes out, the keyboard is deactivated, I can not open anything, I leave a video of the problem, thank you, I hope please resolve it as soon as possible.
Hi Everyone,
Obviously there are a fair number of users using Xaomi devices, it is not the case that we are just waiting until there are enough before developing.
The issue is exactly as I posted before, we have restrictions that mean we ABSOLUTELY require the manufacturers cooperation.
Unfortunately we do not have this from Xaomi, so there has been no add-on developed.
It is in as a feature request, but as we must wait for this I cannot say if or when we will have this feature available.
Yo también tengo este mismo problema. Moto G5
Same for Pixel 2 XL
Any update on the HMD line of Nokia phones with remote control and not displaying finger tap symbol?
I have an LG nexus 5x, but it still won't let me control it?
Using Teamviewer Host 13.0.7847 on Pixel 2 XL Android version 8.0.0. Getting "This device supports screen sharing only" message. Does Teamviewer support monitor this board? Is there any hope for being able to control this phone remotely? Are there any alternatives to Teamviewer that can do this?
Teamviewer needs to obtain permission from Google to run remote control on Pixle
I am waiting for this because until it is develpoed i can't control my redmi 5A from my work place.It is very necessary to control redmi device from any place to them who doesn't fix the problem.
Same Problem here, with Nexus 9 Tablet and Windows PC. Blue Hand shows up thats it.
Same issue … Did you find a fix? Sunstar82_cwet_kk.
I have not found a solution yet. I am still in search of the solution. If I find it I will inform you here.
If you find it, help us by posting here.
I think the only solution will be if the teamviewer team encodes a driver for this particular hardware / operating system.
Have a happy new year,
i have installed qv13 and qs on micromax android but unable to rcontrol it remotely
Mouse doesn't work on Samsung Glaxy S4:
I am using a Huawei Nexus 6p. Huawei is on your list of supported devices. So why doesn't it allow me to control my phone?
I have a Google Pixel (1st gen), manufactured by HTC, and also am not able to actually control any elements.
I have the same problem and still have not found a solution
Shocked that TV is not still supporting this phone.
Mouse doesn't work in Xiaomi Mi6 also. Absolutely the same behaviour as in Samsung Galaxy S4 (look the video in the previous post)
Hello !
I've a Xiaomi Mix 2. I installed the Host app on my phone and the Teamviewer client on my PC. I can connect to my Mix2, screen sharing is working but not remote control
When we get the Remote control add-on for Xiaomi?
I can see the mouse pointer but tapping does not work. I can only receive the tv box remote desktop on a desktop pc.
Android 8.1.0 I tried settings, apps, special app access, device admin apps, selected TeamViewer Host (needed for the remote control feature). Displays " this admin app is active and allows the app Host to perform the following operations:" but no operations arfe listed. Still allows screen sharing only
I would like to control my Android tablet from my Android phone. I connect and see the screen but controlled device not reacting to taps, gestures. (Personal use)
I just installed the TeamViewer app from the Google Play store to my Samsung S7 phone. I then installed the TeamViewer Quick Support (QS) app on my Android based tablet. Android OS is up to date on both devices.
Started QS on the tablet and received the code. Started TeamViewer on the phone, entered the code, and tapped Remote Control. I can see the tablet's screen on the phone. On the phone I can move around and zoom with zoom mode unlocked. On the phone with zoom mode locked I tap... the cursor (blue hand) appears on the tablet, but nothing happens. Tried other taps and gestures but nothing.
What am I missing? Please help. Thank you,
Obviously it is a question of money. Xiaomi wont allow Teamviewer if it is not profitable for them. Or the Chinese are already working on some buggy version of their software. Remember, there is no charity in China. Recently Xiaomi removed Lite version of their homescreen that was used by older people and users with sight impairment just because it was not profitable enough for the corporation. So you guys decide who you are going to stay with...
This device is not supported by us at the moment.
Unfortunately, we are not able to support all Android devices.
To allow full remote control of a device, we need cooperation from the manufacturers themselves which we do not have for all manufacturers.
Please see our Android Device FAQ For supported devices. As this does require the manufacturers support, we cannot simply commit to making this possible as we cannot do it alone.
Okay, thank you for your reply... speedy and very helpful..
As soon as my kids get out of the living room, im going to try this:
I found a solution for your problem friend. Man, it took me days but finally did it! Ok, if you already have your quicksupport app downloaded, keep it. Now, go to Play Store and download Team Viewer Host. When you open it, it will ask you to install the addon. When you finally get it downloaded and installed, go to QS again and open it. You will see that the message will not be shown again, and now you can connect remotely to your android box. Wallaaaaa!! Yessss!!!
I am not able to Control my Android device from my PC.

I will try it.

Same here on LeEco Le Pro 3 X772 stock firmware
Please add an option to have the ability to remote control xiaomi devices. Or are there any other ways to do it?
So Xiaomi develops hardware and the OS which is MIUI. When you say that TeamViewer requires Xiaomi's co-operation does it mean a hardware support or a software support. My guess is that you require a software support in which the MIUI-OS is in a position to take inputs remotely.
So assume that on Xiaomi's device one installs custom ROMs such as LineageOS ... will that work ?
3 days back I've bought Redmi Note 5 Pro and I don't see Teamviewer been supported nor do I see a LineageOS image ready yet for this recently launched device. However I'm sure a they will come out with a ROM for such a popular device.
Question is: Will LineageOS work with TeamViewer on Redmi Note 5 Pro ?
Now this is interesting !!!
Since I wanted to get the remote access working I was looking out for other options available on the internet. Turns out that Airdroid did the job for me ! ... I had to install the Airdroid PC application and the mobile app and through that I'm able to remotely control my mobile phone. I've enabled WiFi and also have the USB cable connected from PC to mobile.
Question to TeamViewer Team.
How come Airdroid is able to get the job done while TeamViewer could not. The error that I got on TeamViewer "Host" and "QuickSupport" apps was "this device supports screen sharing only".
Hope TeamViewer's Developer Team is able to figure out this problem. You folks can reach out to me registered email address and I'd be happy to help the dev team.
Hi Taroko,
To be honest, I am not sure how much clearer I can be.
This is a legal issue. It has very little to do with any kind of technical issue and it is not an issue our developers can solve because it is not a development problem.
We are aware of it. It isn't a new thing. And no, we do not support linage or other Custom ROM's for the same reason.
We also aren't really concerned with what other software is doing. We require the manufacturers co-operation and this will remain the answer no matter how many times this question is asked.
I hope this clears up any misunderstandings.

Pope Saint Marcellus I
- Marcel
- Marcelo
- 16 January (Western calendar)
- 7 June (Eastern calendar)
Nothing of his life before the papacy has survived the centuries. Pope at the end of the persecutions of Diocletian; the persecutions had so disrupted the Church that there had been a gap of over a year with no Pope. Faced reconsituting the clergy which had been decimated and whose remnant had practiced their vocation covertly and with the expectation of martyrdom. Worked to recover and welcome back those who had denied the faith to keep from being murdered.
When a group people apostacized before and during a period of persection refused to do penance in order to return to the Church (they were known as the Lapsi), Marcellus refused to allow their return to the Church. This group had some political pull, and some caused such civil disruption that Emperor Maxentius exiled the Pope in order to settle the matter. Legend says that Marcellus was forced to work as a stable slave as punishment, but this appears to be fiction. Considered a martyr as he died of the terrible conditions he suffered in exile.
- May-June 308
- 309
- initially buried in the cemetery of Saint Priscilla in Rome, Italy
- relics later translated to beneath the altar of San Marcello al Corso church in Rome where they remain today

Here's what I've tried with no success:
Can I use my Ubunu CD-ROM in persistent mode?
You cannot do this with a LiveCD
CDs, for the most part, are designed to be read-only once they've been written to. Even rewritable CDs typically require CD writing software, because most other applications will see the disk as a standard CD and assume it's read-only. This means that you cannot save your printer setup to the LiveCD.
You can install Ubuntu to a USB thumb drive
It's actually deceptively easy - take a standard live CD and boot to it with your USB drive plugged in, and install Ubuntu to the USB drive like you would to any other hard drive (be sure that everything points to the USB drive). You can then boot to it by selecting the USB drive in the boot device selection menu when your computer boots up. This method does format the drive to Ext4, so Windows can no longer read it, but it makes the entire drive available to the Ubuntu install, just as though it were on a regular hard drive.
Your printer driver issues aren't all related to your LiveCD issues
A 500 error is an error coming from the server that Ubuntu is trying to download from. It means that something is wrong with the server itself. There's nothing you can do about that error from that download mirror for that particular driver, except wait a while (anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of days) and see if it comes back. However, the LaserJet 1000 series is old enough that you should have a generic driver option available, which should allow you to install it. If that option isn't available, or doesn't work, then simply download it directly from the HPLIP website (it also includes instructions on installing it manually).
Saving the settings, of course, will require a writable medium, which I've addressed above.
You need to create a Live USB for persistence as live CD cannot store your settings and data.
And for this you can simply use Ubuntu's own Startup Disk Creator or MultiSystem.

Title 16
23.0 Scope and application.§ 23.0 Scope and application.
(a) The guides in this part apply to jewelry industry products, which include, but are not limited to, the following: Gemstones and their laboratory-created and imitation substitutes; natural and cultured pearls and their imitations; and metallic watch bands not permanently attached to watches. These guides also apply to articles, including optical frames, pens and pencils, flatware, and hollowware, fabricated from precious metals (gold, silver, and platinum group metals), precious metal alloys, and their imitations. These guides also apply to all articles made from pewter. For the purposes of these guides, all articles covered by these guides are defined as "industry products."
(b) These guides apply to persons, partnerships, or corporations, at every level of the trade (including but not limited to manufacturers, suppliers, and retailers) engaged in the business of offering for sale, selling, or distributing industry products.Note to paragraph (b):
To prevent consumer deception, persons, partnerships, or corporations in the business of appraising, identifying, or grading industry products should utilize the terminology and standards set forth in the guides.
(c) These guides apply to claims and representations about industry products included in labeling, advertising, promotional materials, and all other forms of marketing, whether asserted directly or by implication, through words, symbols, emblems, logos, illustrations, depictions, product brand names, or through any other means.
(d) These guides set forth the Federal Trade Commission's current thinking about claims for jewelry and articles made from precious metals and pewter. The guides help marketers and other industry members avoid making claims that are unfair or deceptive under Section 5 of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 45. They do not confer any rights on any person and do not operate to bind the FTC or the public. The Commission, however, may take action under the FTC Act if a marketer or other industry member makes a claim inconsistent with the guides. In any such enforcement action, the Commission must prove that the challenged act or practice is unfair or deceptive in violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act.
(e) The guides consist of general principles, specific guidance on the use of particular claims for industry products, and examples. Claims may raise issues that are addressed by more than one example and in more than one section of the guides. The examples provide the Commission's views on how reasonable consumers likely interpret certain claims. Industry members may use an alternative approach if the approach satisfies the requirements of Section 5 of the FTC Act. Whether a particular claim is deceptive will depend on the net impression of the advertisement, label, or other promotional material at issue. In addition, although many examples present specific claims and options for qualifying claims, the examples do not illustrate all permissible claims or qualifications under Section 5 of the FTC Act.

Roasted Garlic Aioli
In a small mixing bowl, whisk roasted garlic pulp, mayonnaise and chopped parsley until completely incorporated; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Makes about 1 cup

Wade Barrett was interviewed in the new issue of WWE Magazine. Here are some highlights from WWE.com:
The Night He Injured His Arm On RAW (2/20/2013):
"I remember Big Show picking up Dolph Ziggler and throwing him down on top of me. I'd guess Ziggler would be about 12 feet in the air being thrown down on me. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to catch him with both hands, so I figured I'd catch him with one hand because of the angle of his trajectory, so all that weight landed squarely on one of my arms, which just snapped at the elbow joints and, unfortunately, required surgery to fix it. It was initially diagnosed as a partially dislocated elbow, but after MRIs, we discovered it was completely dislocated, with additional tearing of two ligaments that go between the bones of the arm. They had been completely severed, which required surgery immediately. It looked fine initially, but I was aware how far out of place the bone was. Then obviously, my whole arm went numb. That's when I realized I was going to be out for a long time."
The Recovery Process & Being Away From The Ring:
"I took myself away from wrestling for a while. A lot of people think when you're off you need to study wrestling nonstop. At that point in time, that was completely the wrong thing for me. The worst thing was being around wrestling. Such as, I had to go to WrestleMania this year and do a lot of signings and AXXESS, and I hated every second of it simply because I don't want to be at WrestleMania unless I'm there to compete. I really was working on my rehab and doing a WWE Studios film, "Dead Man Down," with Colin Farrell and Terrence Howard. That was a great thing to get involved with while I was out. But really, the whole time I was out, I was pretty furious about how things had happened."
Seeing Other Nexus Members Advance While He Was Out Of Action:
"It doesn't bother me at all. I'm actually a big supporter of the majority of the guys from The Nexus. Heath Slater has done a great job. I've always found him entertaining, so it's not shocking to me. Justin Gabriel is a great performer, too. It comes as no surprise to me that I feel no jealousy, really. I was always very pleased to see their success."
Is He Softening His Views On Heath Slater?
Barrett: I don't know about changing my mind regarding The One-Man Band. I've always personally found him incredibly entertaining, which is one of the reasons why, in the past, I surrounded myself with guys like him. I think he's a complete buffoon, don't get me wrong, but personally, I find him very funny.

I didn't start out a Harry Potter fan. I knew that there were tons of people out there who had been following the series since the start. Many of my friends and even my family had been drawn into the Potterverse. I remained stagnant in my position until the release of the second movie in 2002 when i was dragged into the theater by a group of girl scouts.
Although i thought the movie was pretty good i still didn't become a true fan until the release of Order of the Phoenix. A friend of mine asked me to go with her to the midnight release party at Barnes and Nobles. After that night i felt guilty that i had gone to the shindig but had no idea what the big deal was.
The next morning my family left to go on our summer vacation and i brought all five books along with me (even if they belonged to my sister). Over our five day vacation i read all of the books, barely noticing that we were even on the road.
I truly became a fan the summer of the release of the Half Blood Prince. I bought the book for my sister for her birthday but i wasn't able to read it for myself. I ended up buying my first Harry Potter book and reading it as fast as i possibly could. Of course i hadn't read any of the other books since OotP had been released so i re-read every one of them. Between that July and the release of DH I have read each book seven times. And since the release of DH i've read it six times, three times each for the British and American versions.
By writing fan fiction on mugglenet i felt as if i had a chance to curb my obsession with the characters and the story. Although i soon became entranced by what other people had to write and what place my own writing had in this world. Through writing for this site i've found out how much i really enjoy writing. Another plus was that people out in the internet world were reading something that i had put time and effort in.
I would like to thank everyone who took the time to read this and my stories, it gives me hope that someday i might have something on the shelf in a major bookstore. So enjoy what i've written and if you want to know about my life outside the Potterverse visit my livejournal.
