One year after finishing T6 at the Toshiba Classic, used a final-round, 4-under 67 at Newport Beach CC to move up into an eventual T4 at the event, three strokes back of winner Eduardo Romero...Also trailed by only three strokes after 54 holes at the Senior PGA Championship before closing with a 3-over-par 73 to finish T9...Also was T9 at the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship, carding four straight rounds of 69 at Baltimore CC...Made the second hole-in-one of his Champions Tour career when he aced No. 6 in the opening round of the Boeing Classic.

Benefitted from a late collapse by Nick Price to briefly seize the lead after 16 holes on Sunday but missed a five-foot par effort on the 17th hole to drop back into a tie and then missed a 20-foot birdie on the final hole that could have gotten him into a playoff with Denis Watson...Also turned in a strong showing at the Toshiba Classic in March. Was the 18- and 36-hole co-leader at the JELD-WEN Tradition and played in the final grouping Sunday with Fred Funk and Jay Haas, a first for him since the 2006 Senior British Open.

A new report on housing in southwest Louisiana says the Lake Charles area will need more accommodations as an estimated 16,000 temporary workers come to the area to build industrial projects over the next several years.
The American Press reported the finding is included in the Southwest Louisiana Economic Development Alliance's regional housing plan.
Even with the planned construction of employee villages such as Pelican Lodge and Moss Lake Village, the region will still be about 10,000 units short of meeting its temporary housing demand, says David Conner, the alliance's vice president of economic development and international commerce.
Conner said more villages are needed.
Pelican Lodge is a $70 million housing facility under construction on Port of Lake Charles property that will house up to 4,000 temporary workers. Moss Lake Village is expected to house about 2,500 temporary workers once it is built in the Carlyss area.
Conner said building permanent housing is not the answer.
"During that time of construction when construction numbers rise, you satisfy a need," he said. "But when those numbers come down, you've created a 10- to 20-year skewing of the market with an overbuilding of permanent homes. So you end up with a lot of empty apartments, empty hotels and empty permanent structures that have no market."
Morgan Murray Turpin, the alliance's housing grant administrator, said the area's apartment stock is at about 95 percent occupancy. Without additional temporary housing for construction workers, she said, tenants now renting apartments could be face challenges when they want to move.
Conner said the report does not project how many employee villages should be built.

- Only thing wrongBirthdayDined on 11/16/2014We ordered the elk and it had grissel right through it making it hard to CUT and EAT. They would cook us another piece but my wife had her dinner and we like to eat dinner together for her birthday. Maybe some coffee at the end would have smoothed over our disappointment? We did enjoy the rest of the evening and we will come back but not order the elk.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- first time dinerluv2dineDined on 9/28/2014After hearing the radio commercials for years and having the jingle in my ears all along, there was finally a 'groupon' type deal that prompted me to go. The atmosphere and service and food were very good. It is a tad pricey for the amount of food but that was expected. Overall a good experience.Special Features:

- Our favourite restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/13/2014I chose this restaurant for a special birthday celebration for a visiting Chinese family from Hong Kong. It was probably their first meal in a real, high-class western restaurant, as they normally only eat Chinese food (even in Italy!). The woman whose birthday we were celebrating wanted steak, and I did NOT want to go to a steak house. This way they would sample real Italian food for the first time. Some had pasta and others had escargots before their steaks, and they thoroughly enjoyed everything. My husband's fish was perfectly cooked, as was my duck breast with portobello mushroom sauce. The service was impeccable, as always. The gateau St. Honore with candles was a splendid finale for a memorable birthday dinner.Special Features:
- OutstandingFoodluversDined on 8/10/2014Outstanding dining experience for my wife's birthday. We started with the Antipasto for two - terrific! Then my wife had the Risotto Funghi and I had the Linguini dI Mare. Two of the most delicious dishes ever. The house red wine is fabulous.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- horrible servicedisgustedVIPDined on 7/15/2014The waiter that served us was horrible.Said had been working there for about 1 and a half years and am surprised he hasn't been fired. Before we even ordered he already made a statement that started a very unpleasant evening dining there.He was very abrupt and rude when he commented that we should all shut our menus if we wanted to order.When we ordered a calamari appetizer he then came and said that there wasn't anymore and suggested we order the other calamari appetizer, but did not even offer a change in pricing.When we asked for some parmesan cheese, he sighed and replied in an ignorant manner to wait and that it was coming.When we asked for extra bread he made us feel like we were crazy to even ask.More to say but out of space.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/12/2014The quality of the food is always consistent and hasn't changed since I started to frequent the restaurant in the 80s. I never hesitate to recommend the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The food was fresh and delicious, the bread warm and served at exactly the right time, and the servers were attentive without being cloying. Overall a lovely place I would recommend to anyone who wanted an uncomplicated, great tasting and relaxing place for dinner. We will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A classic gemGypsyjmsDined on 6/17/2014Can't make it to Italy this summer? If you are in Vancouver or Burnaby try this lovely family restaurant right next to the Italian cultural Center. The grilled calamari are generous in size and very tender and flavorful. The pasta dishes were all flavorful and perfectly prepared. I particularly like the wide noodles with mushrooms and truffle oil. The waiters are well trained and attentive without rushing you it is obviously a favorite spot for locals to celebrate special occasions. Give it a try. You will not be disappointed.Special Features:
- kyraDined on 6/15/2014We absolutely enjoyed our first visit to La Piazza Darios. The food was delicious, loved the Italian music, and the service was both friendly and very efficient.

- Interesting restaurantYR67Dined on 6/6/2014We've wanted to try this place many times as we drive by, finally did with the help of a Social Shopper coupon. The prices were fine dining, comparable to Q4 and other Italian restaurants on west side and downtown, but the feel of the restaurant was more casual. The food was tasty enough, some items were better than others, but more "family fare" than fine dining. My 2 cents would be for this restaurant to "re brand" itself as an "authentic Italian family restaurant", lower the prices, increase the portions a bit, and bring in the crowds. For the same prices, I would rather go back to Q4, Trattoria types of Italian restaurants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was slow from kitchenLovetoeatDined on 6/3/2014Restaurant was not full and it took over 45min for our food to arrival. We were there for lunch & only had 60 mins. When it did arrival it was very good.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/23/2014We were looking for a romantic dinner, however there were Several large parties and while the setting couldn't be called romantic the staff took great care of us. Food was outstanding and was a memorable night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Experienceluv2dineDined on 5/22/2014Met a friend for dinner and was greeted by the owner who was very friendly and accommodating. We chose to sit on the lovely patio which was set with the same elegance of an inside table. I told them I was tight on time and had to be out in an hour and 1/4. The service was prompt, friendly, and plentiful. We had at least 3 people visiting our table at different times. Our main server even gave me a 15 min warning to ensure I was not late, a nice touch! The food was fantastic, very flavourful and perfect portions. The lemon sorbet for dessert was actually served in a lemon, loved the presentation. Whether you want a romantic eve, catch up with friends, celebrating an occasion or business meal, La Piazza is a perfect choice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Always DeliciousXYZ123Dined on 5/8/2014We went to Dario's for our anniversary dinner. It's my wife's favourite place. She loves Italian cuisine and the flavorful food at Dario's is amazing; never fails to impress. We've taken friends from out of town to Dario's as well as family. If you love Italian food, definitely visit Dario's.Special Features:

- Just OkHappyDined on 5/1/2014A bit disappointment this time around. Service was lacking, e.g. had to wait to go get someone in order to get cutlery as my meal sat in front of me.Special Features:
- Pricey but worth itdocsedDined on 4/26/2014We have been to La Piazza Dario Ristorante several times and the selection of menu items allows for anyone to find something to eat. The blend of herbs used in cooking the various pasta dishes is excellent. Portions are not large but completely satisfying due to the quality. For dessert, the lemon sorbet is amazing -- served in an actual frozen lemon. Although it seems to cater to a lot of large parties, they seat them at one end of the restaurant so couples and other small parties are not disturbed by the larger groups. Do make reservations though as this is a popular place on weekends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Unusually loudOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 4/10/2014Since moving out of the city (to Ocean Park) I no longer enjoy frequent visits to Dario's but reserve it for special dining with friends. As usual, the martinis - food and service were great but an overloud group celebrating ??? made it difficult to think let alone talk. I'm not sure it is possible but, when booking luncheon for two, either find a way to place us further from the madding crowd, as they say, or warn me of the festivities.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for business diningLW05Dined on 4/7/2014Had a nice dinner. Pace of service was excellent as was the attention and timing of the staff. It was a nice change from the usual chain restaurants. Would definitely return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Positano Hotels & Holidays
About Positano
Italy's most spectacular stretch of coastline with steep-stepped Positano, clinging to tall cliffs; Amalfi with its whitewashed villas, fisherman's dwellings, merchant town houses and luxury hotels that overlook sapphire coloured seas; and beautiful Ravello, whose lofty setting commands inspirational views.
A narrow ribbon of shimmering asphalt running over ravines and translucent sea, links Sorrento to the beauty of Positano, a vibrant village clambering down past narrow buildings and sleepy lanes. Shaded by the church of Santa Maria Assunta and its famous 13th century Black Madonna, meander down these lanes to the waterfront where a profusion of caf�s, bars and restaurants serve freshly landed seafood. The hills above Positano are strewn with paths, making up the Trail of the Gods, which zigzags through lush vegetation leading walkers to the delightful hamlet of Nocelle.
Set amongst the inlets of the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, just 4 miles (6,5km) from Amalfi and 5 miles (8km) from Positano is the ancient fishing village of Praiano. This delightful seaside resort presents itself to the seas as a cascade of white houses on a green flowering slope surrounded by sandy coves.
Multi Centre Holidays
Experience the best of both worlds and combine your�Positano holiday with another Italian destination. Citalia offer a fantastic range of multi centre holidays, perfect for taking in all that Italy has to offer.

The history of this ancient Roman town, as brought to life by our professional guide, is fascinating as you walk in the footsteps of the Pompeians. There is also a chance to visit the destroyer itself, the only active volcano on mainland Europe; you can even walk up to the edge of the crater. An unforgettable experience.

Herculaneum & Sorrento:
Herculaneum was the second city to be destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79AD. It is said that Herculaneum is better preserved than Pompeii, as it was sealed by lava whereas Pompeii was buried mainly in ash. You will find excellent examples of Roman richness in the unspoiled mosaic tiled floors and frescoed villas, no longer seen in Pompeii. The local guide will animate the story of this wealthy, ancient Roman summer resort.
Combine Herculaneum with the small town of Sorrento. Wonderfully located over white cliffs Sorrento offers a fantastic view over the Bay of Naples. For years visitors from all over the world have been attracted to Sorrento, think breathtaking sunsets, fragrances of orange and lemon gardens.

Need pressure cooker advice NOW. Anyone on who knows how to cook with them?
I'm trying out my pressure cooker for the first time today. I'm currently making dried pinto beans and ham hocks. All the recipes call for about 55 mins of high pressure, but I soaked mine overnight (closer to 24 hours) so I am assuming a shorter time. Any ideas on how long I should cook them? Thank you!
re: chefj
I don't think that the problem will be your beans rather that smoked pork hock. That usually takes 45 to 55 minutes to cook through, longer if the pork hock has been hanging in your larder and drying out. I still always soak my beans overnight as well; the texture of the beans is better.
re: Ottothekraut
Try looking at this chart -- http://missvickie.com/howto/beans/how...
it is a chart for cooking *already soaked* beans in a pressure cooker.
re: blue room
thanks to both of you!
I pressure cook pinto beans often. I like to quick soak them - bring to boil then set aside for an hour. Pressure cook them with half a peeled onion, ham hock, about 6 C water and no salt. Bring to high pressure then turn them down to medium pressure for 15 minutes. While they cook I prepare a soffits with onion, garlic, red and green peppers, half a jalapeño, oregano, salt and pepper. Add this to cooked beans and boil the mixture for 15 minutes. I think they are perfect this way.
re: CharIties
CI has done some research ( I know, there is controversy on these boards about CI's testing methods, etc., but I find many of their ideas to be spot-on. Take it all with a grain of, er, salt!) and found that salting beans actually makes them tender to the middle, better seasoned at the finish, and NOT tough on the outside.
Basically, do a 'quick brine' of your beans before cooking, then cook them up.
If cooking in a pressure cooker, be sure to follow instructions for your model, or cook on lowest pressure setting to avoid blown-out beans!
Love Charlties sofrito above - sounds delish!
There are a million ways to cook beans apparently. I do a presoak for several hours, and then pressure cook them for about 15 minutes to see how well they are cooking. I cooked pintos a couple of weeks ago, and I tested them after 15 minutes (timed from the beans coming to pressure) and then pressure cooked them for a few minutes more, to get them as done as I wanted. If you chill the cooked beans overnight they will be firmer than if you eat them shortly after cooking them.
I hope you were happy with your pinto beans. I hope you enjoy using your new PC.
I'd love to hear how your beans turned out.
I recommend presoaking (with or without salt, I prefer no salt) the beans, draining and then cooking pinto beans between 4 and 6 minutes at pressure with a natural pressure release. I think that at 15 minutes they would be falling apart and too mushy for my liking.
You can always put them back on the heat but you can't make them less done. I guess that you could always turn them into Spicy Pinto Bean Dip if you needed to.
It's great to see so many more people pressure cooking these days. I have been teaching people how to do this for 15 years and maybe the time has finally come when more people will pressure cook regularly.
re: The Veggie Queen
Some of the fear seems to have subsided.
re: RWCFoodie
That was my first concern as well. I would start by browning the meat in the pressure cooker (lid off). Followed by cooking the meat under pressure, then add the pre soaked beans and return to pressure to finish
re: RWCFoodie
The ham hock will be cooked that's for sure. I put a bay leaf in with the beans. The thing to remember about pressure cookers is they are REALLY REALLY dangerous if you don't follow the instructions to the letter. Another poster mentioned putting a bit of oil in with the beans. I agree. Never overfill the P.C. Half way filled is stretching it IMO. I'd try filling a bit less than half way. Keep an eye/ear on the PC. If you notice the amount of steam escaping is lessening you know the PC is getting low on water. Actually by then it's almost too late. Quickly but VERY carefully move the PC into the sink. DON'T run cold water over it. And don't release the steam valve. Just let it cool down on it's own. In half an hour or so lift the steam valve and if no steam comes out fill the sink with warm water. Then remove the top half. You only need to go through this once or twice before you get the right amount of water to use down. Lastly, I assume you've got the PC on a burner full wack. Once the steam starts coming out reduce the heat till you're still getting plenty of steam. PC's are an excellent way to cook some foods like beans. I'd use a smoked pork hock for the extra flavor but you don't need to 'brown' it beforehand. Fifty five minutes in a PC and you'll barely recognize the pork hock anyway. LOL
re: Puffin3
I think it depends on the kind of PC you use, Puffin. My brand-new Kuhn-Rikon recommends a cold-water release, and I use one all the time with great success. The new models have multiple safety mechanisms, and I think that the really, really dangerous part has largely subsided- as long as you're present in the kitchen and throw an eye in that direction from time to time, you're all set. I use mine while making dinner and keeping an eye on the toddler in the kitchen, no worries.

PLYMOUTH — Plymouth girls basketball head coach Dave Cox has been stressing the inside game to his players.
On Wednesday, the Lady Pilgrims made it clear they got the message as Plymouth's bigs paid big dividends in the paint in a 48-39 win over visiting South Bend Washington at The Rock.
Pilgrims frontcourters Amber Redinger and Marisa Green accounted for the bulk of Plymouth's scoring with a combined 36 points between them. Sophomore Redinger scored a career-high 26, while Green finished with 10 points in her third straight double digit outing as Plymouth's guards picked apart Washington's leaky 2-3 zone for some high-percentage shots in the lane.
"There are a lot of gaps, and we noticed that scouting them," said Cox. "They're guarding perimeters harder than maybe they are inside, so we really wanted the ball to go inside. Amber can finish, but I'll tell you what, it was a credit to the other kids. Haley and Lauren and Meagan and Erin and Chelsea made some awesome passes in to her so she's got to recognize that. It definitely was a team win, she just played her role."
"I thought Marisa again maybe had her third game in a row where she's just gotten better and went in and really played well," he said. "She's a good offensive player, and so that really helps us and defensively in a game like this she matches up pretty well... She did just exactly what we needed her to do."

House Approves Allowing Concealed Guns In Bars
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — People with concealed weapon permits could soon be able to carry their guns into South Carolina's restaurants and bars.
The 100-12 vote in the House on Tuesday would allow the measure to become law before this year's legislative session ends.
The bill would allow permit holders to keep their weapon with them when they go out to dinner or enter a bar, but makes it illegal to consume alcohol when they do so. It would also give business owners the right to ban concealed carry on their property by posting signs against it.
The bill faces a perfunctory vote in the House before returning to the Senate. That chamber's version set a curfew. It continues to ban concealed guns between midnight and 5 a.m. from businesses that serve alcohol. Neither state law nor the state's tax code distinguishes between bars and restaurants.
The discussion featured a political twist: the House's top Democrat touting the expanded gun rights bill, and a Republican arguing against it.
Rep. B.R. Skelton, R-Six Mile, said alcohol and guns do not mix. While he believes in the Second Amendment, he said, he's concerned that some permit holders will consume alcohol while they're out, even if they're not supposed to, inside the business. He said it may also increase businesses' insurance rates.
But House Minority Leader Todd Rutherford encouraged colleagues of both parties to support the bill.
"Those people who go out and get certified and take a class and want to do the right thing are the good guys," said Rutherford, D-Columbia. "A number of people in my district think I'm absolutely insane in supporting this, but it is the right thing to do. … If a restaurant doesn't want it, they simply need to put up a sign and that is the law."
The House version also allows gun owners to apply for a concealed weapon permit online, to speed up the application process. The amendment mirrored a separate measure that previously passed the House, giving it a chance of passing this year too. The regular session ends Thursday.
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is being swamped by paper permit applications, making it difficult for the agency to meet a state law requiring that a permit be issued or denied within 90 days.
The amendment raises the $50 application fee to $75, largely to help the agency pay for the technology. SLED hopes to have an automated system in place later this year, though paper filing would continue to be an option for those who aren't computer-savvy.
Roughly 200,000 people hold concealed weapon permits from South Carolina. According to SLED's statistics, the agency approved nearly 42,600 new permits in 2012. That's almost 18,000 more new permits when compared to the previous year.

Oh, what a difference a multimillion-dollar book deal makes.
About a year after Sarah Palin famously turned down a campaign season appearance with talk show host – and major Barack Obama supporter – Oprah Winfrey, the former GOP vice presidential candidate has agreed to take her turn on the couch.
Palin will appear Nov. 16 on ITALIC "The Oprah Winfrey Show"] and no doubt the subject of her upcoming book, Going Rogue: An American Life, will come up.
Interestingly, Winfrey called it months ago – quipping, "Maybe she'll talk to me now that she has a book deal."

What kind of riding do you do and where do you typically ride? I don't know much about your board or boots, but I currently ride the Factory bindings after having ridden the Missions for my first couple seasons, so I might be able to offer some general insight. There are people here that can give you more detail, but they'll want to know what your riding style and conditions are.
In my opinion, the Missions are definitely more playful while the Factories are much stiffer and more responsive. The Factories are also more comfortable in my opinion. They are better suited to hard-charging and freeriding than the Missions are, even though the Missions work pretty well in that regard too. I'd say if you are all-mountain but tend to do more park/freestyle stuff then the Mission is probably fine. But if you want more response and something stiffer, then get the Factory. But don't buy it if you are just trying to round out a complete "Travis Rice" setup.
I think the Mission is a good binding if you can get it on sale. I still use mine from time to time.

(Apostolic Succession for Newbies, Episode One)
Have you noticed the creeping narcissism in the evangelical church?[1]
Perhaps you have noticed it in the architecture as churches have been remade into the image of the places the world gathers: Foyers into coffeehouses, sanctuaries into concert halls, altars into comedy club stages. Candles and incense replaced with light shows and fog machines borrowed from the nightclub scene.
Perhaps you have noticed it in the songs we sing. The self-referential lyrics (count how often "me" and "I" appear)…the way the act of our worshipping becomes the subject rather than God…how few of our songs are about the nature and glory of God.)
Perhaps you have noticed it in the felt-needs orientation of our preaching – With topics chosen by focus group and slickly marketed: "Come for our series, 'Awesome Christian Sex!'" Or the way the preaching of the word of God has been reduced to a mere interruption in the song service (joining announcements and the offering.)
Surely you couldn't help but notice it in Victoria Osteen's recent exhortation, "You don't worship for God. You worship for yourself." Oh, she was criticized her for it, but is this not a message we too are subtly sending? Perhaps Ms. Osteen is just more honest about it?
Where did this start?
The great strength of evangelicalism is a desire to reach people where they are with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, without a great deal of both self-awareness and self-discipline, our charisms tend to become our curses. As with most problems, our creeping narcissism is an unanticipated consequence – the end result in our culture of 5 centuries of the B-side of Reformers reclamation of the Bible from "ex cathedra" (infallible interpretation by the papacy). "Sola scriptura" (the scriptures alone), was the rallying cry. Unfortunately, as "sola scriptura" is popularly articulated today, we no longer need a church at all, we are each capable, called even, to be our own sole interpreters of scripture – the Bible is "self-authenticating, clear to the rational reader, its own interpreter of itself, and sufficient of itself to be the final authority of doctrine." [2] In other words, each individual's head is the ultimate standard…and, just like that, the idea of the "priesthood of the believer" has been elevated to a de facto "papacy of the believer." No wonder we have 40,000 denominations…and no wonder an increasing number people are choosing to stay home from them. After all, if I am my own pope, then I am my own church…which, come to think of it, comes pretty close to making me my own "god."
Regrettably, this is a wholesale corruption of what the Reformers actually taught. Calvin, Luther, and Cranmer each have notebooks filled with quotations from the early church fathers. Chris Armstrong, editor of Christian History Magazine, writes, "The Reformation is an argument not just about the Bible but about the early Christian fathers, whom the Protestants wanted to claim…you look and you see it everywhere. The Reformers use the Fathers all over the place…Calvin read Augustine…Luther read Jerome. The index of Calvin's Institutes is filled with an enormous number of quotations from the Fathers. And in the first preface to that work Calvin did his best to show his teachings were in complete harmony with the Fathers. The Protestants…were keen to have ancestors. They knew that innovation was another word for heresy. 'Ours is the ancient tradition,' they said. 'The innovations were introduced in the Middle Ages!' They issued anthologies of the Fathers to show the Fathers had taught what the Reformers were teaching."[3] You see, the magisterium, the gathered wisdom of bishops interpreting the scriptures under the lineage of the tradition was not their problem. In fact, they went to great lengths to prove specifically that their teaching was the Fathers!
But alas, we have jettisoned the Reformers' actual belief in the wisdom of the church's teachers, whose interpretation was expected to stand in the tradition of the early Fathers. The mess of pottage we have traded it for is a disembodied sound bit. Disengaged from the Reformers reliance on the Fathers, we have what can be cynically referred to as "solo scriptura" – my private interpretation. And when "solo scriptura" is combined with American individualism and allowed to simmer with post-modern "truthiness," we get a toxic soup of the dystopic self. We then feed this soup to a generation reared as the centers of the universe, then wonder that they are consumed with self. How could they not be?
…when "solo scriptura" is combined with American individualism and allowed to simmer with post-modern "truthiness," we get a toxic soup of the dystopic self. We then feed this soup to a generation reared as the centers of the universe, then wonder that they are consumed with self. How could they not be?
The church has consumed "me" like a diet of high-fructose corn syrup. It tasted so good going down, that we did not notice that we grew both addicted to the taste and unable to roll over in our spiritual flabbiness. Worse, the poison has so clogged our synapses that we are unable even to remember what rigorous, healthy spiritual activity was once like.
Pastors have given up expecting meaningful commitment, service, or faithfulness from congregations. I remember suggesting to a pastor of a church of 3500 how transformative it would be to their community if they assembled 350 groups of 10 to meet and read and pray the Bible together in a year. I was stunned when the pastor said, "We have 3500 who attend, but we only have about 50 who are with us."
I am no longer stunned. I have watched how anything that smacks of commitment is sold on its potential to "bless." This has now extended to our giving. Perry Noble's church is offering a 90-day money back guarantee on tithing. Seriously! Giving in order to get. It seems that every week contemporary mega-evangelicalism offers a new narcissistic low-water mark. And just like that, the commodification and monetization of the church is complete.
Where did we think "nothing but you and a Bible" was going to end? Where did we think that reshaping the church after our cultural preferences would lead?
Have you noticed the creeping narcissism? Do you have examples of your own? Do you see a way out?

When asked what I think of the trendy rewriting of creeds in progressive liturgical churches, I usually respond in the words of imminent theologian Ron Burgundy: "That's just dumb."
Creeds are not Chex Mix. You know, the party snack that you pick through taking out the morsels you like. But we don't high-grade out what we like of God and leave the rest in the bowl. A Luby's Cafeteria may make for a nice all-you-can-eat Sunday afternoon lunch, but picking and choosing a faith of our own creation is narcissistic and foolish. Not to mention a risky way to live one's life. The old joke, "God created us in his image and we returned the favor," comes to mind.
The creeds were written by the early and undivided church as summaries of the faith. They have been vetted by universal acceptance of the entire church, both through time and across geography. When Vincent of Lerins wrote in the 500's, "What has been believed everywhere, always, and by all," he was referring to the faith bounded by the Nicene Creed. The impulse to re-write the creed to make it more relevant is, at best, misguided. The creed is not ours to futz with. (By the way, someone rewriting a creed is almost certainly a baby boomer.) Seriously, stop rewriting creeds.
Passing the Baton
"For I handed on to you as of first importance what I received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures …" (I Cor 15:3-4)
Our role is to explain not to change "the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints." (Jude 3) The creed is the universal. Beyond that is adiaphora (things indifferent) - perhaps helpful. Perhaps important. Just not mandatory for recognizing a "like" faith. So we do not change the core. We pass it on, handing the baton of faith to the next generation.
When it comes to the substance of the faith, there are two extremes: Fundamentalism and Universalism. Fundamentalism elevates the "you may" to "you must"—tithing, homeschooling, a particular theory of the atonement, etc. Fundamentalism raises the bar making options essential. The opposite is Universalism. Universalism drops the essentials making them optional. Universalism lowers the bar and says, in effect, "There is nothing you must believe." Universalism leaves us with such a low bar to the faith that few see any reason to join. This is why we don't "edit" universal truth. Fundamentalism hands the next runner an anvil to run with. Universalism gives them an empty hand-off. We receive and pass on, "the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints."
The Great Tradition
Seventeenth century Archbishop Lancelot Andrewes explained "tradition" as "one canon (the Scriptures), two testaments, three creeds, and four councils, over the first five centuries." The three creeds prioritize Christian beliefs. As Rupert Meldinius said in 1627, "In essentials unity, in non-essentials diversity, in all things charity." Creeds keep the main thing the main thing.
The creeds articulate God as trinity, an idea that is impossible to get one's mind wrapped around – which doesn't mean that it isn't true. In fact, anyone who can contain the infinite God of the universe between their ears really needs to find themselves a bigger God.
Creeds are our wedding vows
Creeds are not about warm-fuzzies or even felt convictions. They are the substance of the faith the church has stood upon since soon after Jesus left. They are like marriage vows-so much so that they form the substance of the promises one makes in Holy Baptism. There is a reason we take marriage vows – It is because human love is fickle. We imagine that love sustains commitment, but actually it is just the opposite. It takes great commitment to sustain love. A couple makes vows and clings to them through thick and thin…and, at the end of life, a thing of loving beauty has been produced. The historic creeds work the same way. The Nicene Creed proclaimed in church is a promise to cling to the glory and vastness of God, even when the pressures of life scream to give up. When said in church, by the community of faith, the Nicene Creed is a weekly prayed promise to act in love toward God. It is our spiritual, "for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish, and to obey, till death us do part."
Creeds answer the question, "What must we believe?" We answer, "We believe in one God, the father, the almighty…"
The Original Creed
The first Christian creed was, "Jesus is Lord!" (Mark 1:1) This drew a hedge around what it meant to be Christian…and since it was a play on the Roman creed, ("Caesar is Lord!") it did this by being a bit prickly to those who were not.
But Aren't All Religions Basically the Same?
This is the mantra of the day-repeated often enough to be assumed uncritically. Unfortunately, the world's great religions are not at all the same. Each makes individual faith claims that stand (or fall) on their own merits. To say anything less is deeply dishonoring to the world's great traditions. Every one of the world's major religions does, however, seek to answer 3 core human Questions:
The Christian answers, by the way, are;
All of which lead to the one really big human question: What about me? Christian Answer: We follow God by faith, living a life of gratitude toward God and faithful service to the world (John 1: 12, Eph 2:10).
The Apostle's and Nicene Creeds very carefully only answer the first question. They stay on "Who is God?" That is the nature of a creed. Creeds assume that if you get the "who" right, everything else will fall into place. That focus on the "who" is what makes creeds different from confessions. Since creeds are the least you can belief, churches that cannot endorse the Nicene Creed, like the LDS or the Jehovah's Witnesses, are not considered Christian churches. This is not personal. It is not meanness. It is simply that to not be able to endorse the Nicene Creed means we are talking about different Gods. As we said in our last post, creeds are the broad fence around the very least it means to be a Christian. A lot of groups fit into that playground: Catholics, Orthodox, Protestants, Pentecostals, Copts…anyone who holds to a trinitarian view of God. It is only these late theological innovators that do not wish to enter the fence of the trinity to whom Christians say, "We are sorry. But change your mind on the Trinity and come on in!"
The shape of Creeds: A Trinitarian Narrative
At their most basic level, creeds do not express a systematic theology but a narrative one. As I said in the previous post, the creeds give us the interpretive framework from which to view the Christian story – a new story within which to orient our lives. The Christian story, in a nutshell, is that God, dwelling in triune love, desired to share his great love and so created. Taking love for granted, we wandered. God, unwilling to let us go, moved into the neighborhood in the form of Jesus, showed us a vision of a kingdom to come, and went to the cross to redeem us from our sinful God-rejection, walked victorious from a tomb 3 days later, breathed on his own 4o days after that, and went to heaven where he "ever lives to make intercession for us" (Heb. 7:25). From there he will someday return to make all things right. Humans are now invited into that divine love through the plan of God, the work of the Son, and sanctifying action of the Holy Spirit.
So the next time you say the creed. Don't just say it. Pray it.
Creeds over Confessions
Last week one more friend, one with a graduate degree in theology proudly said, "I don't say creeds. I'm non-creedal." This friend is both orthodox and devout in his Christian faith, yet he says, "I don't want to be bound by statements that limit the faith." Like so many, he is confusing "creedal" with "confessional."
A Big, Big Playground
Creeds are not about limiting the faith, but rather about pushing the faith's boundaries out to their widest possible limit. A creed is about how little one can believe and still be recognizably "Christian." Creeds give the edges of what C. S. Lewis referred to as "Mere Christianity." Confessions, which came later, do exactly the opposite. Confessions attempt to narrow the conversation from "how little can one believe" to "how much should one believe." If beliefs are a dartboard, a creed is the outermost circle. "You hit the target, way to go!" A confession is the bull's eye.
Belief as a bull's eye is, of course, my friend's real issue: Whose bull's eye, whose confession are we to use? Augsburg? Belgic? Heldelberg? Helvetic? Thirty-nine Articles? Baptist? Westminster? …And those are just the ones written between 1430 and 1630! A creed is a fenced playground, but a creed represents the largest playground possible. A confession is the kindergarten play ground – very small and safe. The Nicene Creed is the high school ballfields – a square half mile. If you can't find room to play at the high school, you really just don't want to be there.
We Fear Creeds
Creeds have been ignored by evangelicals and progressives alike. Evangelicals busily moved past the creeds in a desire to be culturally relevant and a fear of the world creeping into the church – so evangelicals tightened the reigns with detailed, specific, narrow confessional boundaries. "Are you a Reformed, dispensational, pre-trib, pre-millennial regular Baptist?" "No! I am a Reformed, dispensational, mid-trib, pre-millennial regular Baptist." "Oh. Sorry, we can't be friends." This resulted in "many protestants" – a now collapsing array of denominations.
At the same time liberals were also busy jettisoning historic creeds. For liberals though it was a desire to be theologically relevant and a fear that the world was creeping out of the church.
Scales Before Jazz
When my children suggested to their piano teacher that they learn popular songs, their piano teacher would patronizingly reply, "We learn scales before Jazz." The reference was lost on my kids who had never heard Jazz. What they wanted to play was the theme to the after school cartoon, "Arthur." But the teacher was right, if you know your scales you can play any musical. Creeds are the substance of the faith – The "scales" to teach to every child and newcomer. By definition, creeds are catholic (universal), confessions are sectarian genres. Everyone has a genre preference. But if one doesn't know the basics, regardless of the genre, what we end up with is bad music.
Creeds unite us around the basic Christian story (the "who" and "why") rather than the symbols of our tradition (the "how" and "what"). The symbols of our tradition are rich and powerful, but our traditional actions and symbols never stand alone. Their power is that they point to greater truths-the truths specifically expressed in the creeds. Confirmation programs, for example, lose power specifically when our teachers have forgotten to keep the main thing (salvation in Christ Jesus) the main thing. And one cannot master Jazz who has not first mastered their scales.
So Christian, don't give up your creeds!
The Bible's Lucky Decoder Ring: The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
(Part 1)
In 1934, the Little Orphan Annie radio show hit on a terrific marketing gimmick: kids could mail away for a "secret decoder ring" in order to decipher hidden messages.
Perhaps you remember the young protagonist, Ralphie, in the classic movie, "A Christmas Story," ordering one…
…only to be disappointed that the "secret message" was nothing more than "a crummy commercial."
If you grew up in the sixties you might have had Johnny Quest "lucky decoder glasses" to interpret secret messages.
It may surprise you to know that there are "lucky decoder glasses" to reading and interpreting the Bible – A set of lenses Christians have looked through as keys to understanding the Bible for nearly 2000 years.
Everyone has a set of interpretive lenses through which they see the world and read any text. For orthodox Christianity those lenses are a document originally written in 325 CE called, "The Nicene Creed."
Settling Fights
As with all doctrinal statements, the Nicene Creed was written to settle a fight. More precisely to clear up confusion over the Bible's teaching about the nature of Jesus and his relationship with God. You see, Jesus was so unique that people had a hard time "getting" him. Now, my evangelical friends will say, "The Bible settles who Jesus is, just read the plain meaning of the text!" The only problem is "reading the plain meaning" was not working. The early church was reading the Bible…in fact, not only were they reading from the same Testament, they were even reading from the same Gospel, and yet coming to radically different conclusions.
Let's be honest, the Christian claim that Jesus is fully God while at the same time being fully human is pretty confusing. It shattered any existing thought paradigm. Two thousand years later it is still pretty tough to wrap one's mind around a claim that astounding.
It may be of interest to you that the early Christians struggled with the humanity of Jesus more than his deity. Greeks, influenced by Gnostic thought and the idea "flesh" was corrupt and "spirit" was good, had a tough time with the notion that Jesus could be a real, actual human. So the early church wrote a creed we know as the "Apostle's Creed." It was used in Baptisms. The line, "Born of a virgin" was included specifically to insist that Jesus was an actual, real, burping, got gassy, snored while sleeping on his back, human being.
A century and a half later the struggle had shifted. A priest named Arius had started teaching that Jesus was something less than God (as Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons teach today).
Arius' new teaching began to win people over. (It helped that he was a good preacher and musician. He penned a catchy ditty that all the cool kids were singing, "There was a time when he was not…") Arius argued out of the gospel of John, "Jesus said, 'The father is greater than I.'" (John 14:28) The church answered with, "The father and I are one.' (John 10:30) and 'If you have seen me, you have seen the father.'" (John 14:9) So there they are: reading the same gospel and coming to two thoroughly opposite conclusions as to Jesus' identity and the nature of his relationship with the Father. So is Jesus less than or equal too the Father? This really, really matters because Jesus' role is to make sacrifice for sins. If Jesus is anything less than completely holy, anything less than divine, his sacrifice will be incomplete…and we will remain dead in our trespasses. (1 John 2:2, Heb 9:26-10:12)
When the "Bible alone" is not enough
How did the church settle this dispute? Is the faith to be, as Arius' would have had it, endlessly malleable or is there an inner core that is non-negotiable – a "…faith which has been believed everywhere, always, by all"? (Vincent of Lerins, early 400s.)
The church had two trump cards in this argument: catholicity and orthodoxy. 1) Catholicity (universal), the unbroken line of bishops (apostolic authority) traced back to Jesus – an argument of continuity of relationship with Jesus (those related to Jesus by touch). 2) Orthodoxy, an argument of continuity in Jesus' teachings (those related to Jesus by teaching). The church has argued one or the other for 2,000 years, but both were seen as vital.
Those bishop's unbroken interpretation of the scriptures present in the conciliar statements generated when they met in worldwide (ecumenical) council. The first of these councils met in a town in Turkey named Nicea in 325CE. 318 bishops from all around the world attended. They came from as far away as England. The meeting was presided upon by no less dignitary than the rather newly converted emperor of Rome, Constantine. The statement they wrote, stating in unambiguous terms, that Jesus was fully and completely God in flesh, was signed by 315 of the bishops present (Arius and two cronies refused).
Since that time, Christians, whether they are aware of the fact or not, read the Bible through the "lucky decoder lenses" of those bishop's statement, the Nicene Creed.
And, since the Nicene Creed is so undergirds how we view and interpret the rest of the Bible, it is a pretty decent idea to, as more and more churches are beginning to, pray that creed in church every Sunday.
(Part two: Creeds: "The Substance of the faith" not "things indifferent" – Creeds are not confessions and it is above our pay grade to rewrite them.)

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- New video shot by WINK News shows a full house inside Lee County Domestic Animal Services.
"We never know when they're coming in, it's basically report-driven so as people are reporting we're responding. There's really no way to prepare."
A spike in hoarding cases is forcing the agency to take in hundreds of animals. On Thursday, 13 dogs found in a Lehigh Acres home. And two days before, more than 70 cats uncovered in filthy conditions in Fort Myers Shores. Ria Brown with Animal Services said these cases strain their resources.
"Staffing wise when officers have to go out on a hoarding case or cruelty case it may be the only case they go to that entire day."
Brown said it costs around $750 to take care of each pet that comes here.
"But that's one that didnt come from a bad situation doesnt need extraordinary medical care or anything."
Brown admits while the budget is okay right now, things could eventuall become tight. And higher taxes for you could be a last choice option to bring in more money.
"We'll be looking at whether we were able to stay in budget with these type of cases or whether we're going to need additional funding."

Braves 7, Phillies 4: Rookie Christian Bethancourt recorded three hits, two RBIs and scored twice as Atlanta pulled away from visiting Philadelphia to salvage the finale of their three-game series.
B.J. Upton belted a two-run homer for the Braves, who pulled within one game of Milwaukee for the National League's second wild-card spot. Ervin Santana (14-7) battled through six frames, allowing four runs on seven hits, to earn the victory before Craig Kimbrel came on to notch his major league-leading 42nd save in the ninth inning.
Grady Sizemore contributed a two-run blast, Ben Revere had three hits and Chase Utley registered two sacrifice flies for the Phillies. Philadelphia's Mario Hollands (2-2) gave up one run in two-thirds of an inning to suffer the loss in relief before leaving the game with left elbow soreness in the fifth.
Freddie Freeman led off the fifth with a double, after video review overturned the original out call at second, and scored on Bethancourt's two-out single for a 5-4 lead. The Braves, who posted just one run in their previous four games combined, added a pair in the sixth on a two-out RBI single by Tommy La Stella and a wild pitch.
Utley's sacrifice fly gave the Phillies a lead in the first before Bethancourt delivered an RBI single and Upton launched his 10th home run to left-center in the second. Philadelphia responded in the third when Revere singled and Sizemore lined a 2-1 pitch into the right-field seats for a 3-3 tie.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Atlanta LF Justin Upton was held out of the lineup with a bruised left triceps after being hit by a pitch in Tuesday's game. … Philadelphia starter RHP David Buchanan, an Atlanta native, yielded four runs (one earned) on three hits and four walks over four innings. … The Braves improved to 52-19 when they hit a home run.

Set in the countryside it has a fabulous rural feel, however within 10 minutes drive you are in the heart of the fishing town of Olhao, with its famous fish and vegetable markets and array of restaurants. Olhao is also the host to the 'shellfish festival' every August - well worth a sample! From Olhao catch a short ferry to one of the 'islands' which are largely deserted out of season.
Morro dos Anjos is very well thought out with the living areas in the centre of the house. The modern well equipped kitchen with breakfast bar is in the heart of the farmhouse, adjoining this is the dining room. This open planned living arrangement makes a very social holiday experience. Off of the kitchen and dining area is the large lounge with leather sofas and English TV and DVD player.
At one side of the farmhouse you will find 2 bedrooms, both of which are en-suite. The first being a double with en-suite bathroom and the second being a single room with bunk beds and en-suite shower room. At the other end of the farmhouse are 2 further bedrooms one double and one twin bedroom, which share a large family bathroom. In addition to this there is a laundry room and plenty of wardrobe space in each of the rooms. To top all of this there is a very comfortable outside 'lounge', for those lazy late nights spent debating what to do the next day, "shall we stay or shall we explore". There are further terraced eating areas surrounding the farmhouse and a fabulous pool with adjoining petanque area.
