Evangelism Without Additives; What if sharing your faith meant just being yourself?
by Jim Henderson
For those of you who have read any of my previous book reviews, you must be thinking, "In every review, that guy says it is the best book he has ever read! He must be very easy to please."
Actually, I am a very picky reader, but Barbara, Linda, Carol, Julie and other volunteers in the Bon Air Baptist library do a fantastic job stocking the selves and display cases with exceptional literature. And Evangelism Without Additives is no exception.
At first glance, I'm saying, "Boy, this Henderson author has really gotten many of us off the hook regarding sharing the Gospel with non-believers." Just look at these chapter headings: Out of Religion and into Reality; Dump the Religion Business; Boldness is Overrated; Evangelize with Your Ears. Makes you believe evangelizing is as natural as breathing, doesn't it? No need to become a "spiritual salesperson" any longer.
Based on Henderson's references to Scriptures, Jesus certainly did not use any particular formula, step-by-step conversational script, or training program to persuade Jews or Gentiles to believe His message, nor did he expect such from His disciples. Instead, Jesus...
gave people attention, especially unloved folks,
asked a bunch of questions,
truly listened to his audience
and, most significantly, practiced being Himself, being REAL!
The back cover of this book summarizes Henderson's point most effectively. What if you could use routine experiences to nudge others closer to Christ? What if the things we are already doing counted as evangelism in our minds?
Evangelism Without Additives IS the best book I have read on this topic, and it will convince you that spreading the Good News about our Savior involves simply doing things we already do, but with a new purpose, as we connect with non-believers.
This would be a fantastic book for small group study, as it includes a 13 week study and discussion guide.

The Promise or How God Works All Things Together for Good
by Robert J. Morgan
Grace: "You know that everything happens for a reason."
Bruce: "That is a cliche'. That is not helpful to me. 'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.' I have no bird, I have no bush. God has taken my bird and my bush."
...from the movie, Bruce Almighty
HOW can things always benefit us when unpleasant--indeed, tragic--events happen?! Thus far this summer,the Gulf oil spill continues to impact thousands of lives and wildlife; four sisters in the Chester area are in survival mode since the murder of their mom and imprisonment of their dad; the Virginia heat wave has destroyed farmers' crops. In what way is God using these things for good?
First, I encourage you to add this book to your home library, along with Streams in the Desert; What's so Amazing About Grace; Jesus, CEO. Morgan's The Promise is now one of my favorites - practical, readable and spirit-sustaining.
The author reminds us, with an examination of Romans 8:28, of God's grace and wisdom in making sure His plan unfolds through our lives, regardless of the obstacles we face. The biblical stories of Paul, Peter, Moses, and others are referenced as clear examples of "those who are called according to His purpose."
Morgan calls Romans 8:28 the verse that gives us reason for "true optimism." But such optimism is conditional:
1. We must love and obey God.
2. We must trust God patiently to do what is best for us.
3. And the hardest one - we must remember that our timing
and His are very different.
I especially like Morgan's opening chapter title and Conclusion - "Cheap Cliche' or Precious Promise?" and "When it Doesn't Seem to be Working Out." After reading his work, I feel strongly that this one verse from Romans is neither a cliche' nor a part of a preacher's "prosperity Gospel." If we truly "know" (trust, believe, have no doubt) that God will ultimately accomplish all goodness through the worst of badness, we will be provided comfort and hope through His grace and peace.

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON? by Dr. David Jeremiah
Yes, I realize there are numerous books out there about the end times, prophecy, the Book of Revelation, and many other related
topics. However, for those of you who are familiar with David Jeremiah's writing style, this book on earth's final days is one of the most readable. What usually seems to be craziness and chaos in the USA and abroad, Dr. Jeremiah is able to explain in terms of patterns rather than isolated occurrences.
Look at these intriguing chapter headings:
Modern Europe...Ancient Rome
Vanished Without a Trace
Does America Have a Role in Prophecy?
When One Man Rules the World.
Dr. Jeremiah preps us for this journey by making sure we know what signs to look for regarding the end of the world. He clearly connects for us various events and trends from the past several years that have been predicted by God's Word, with a special spotlight on Israel. He then walks us through the ten major biblical prophecies from both testaments that we truly cannot ignore.
Like most texts about our planet's remaining days, WHAT IN THE WORLD...? reminds us of the happy ending for all who are believers --- victory in Jesus Christ! In fact, Dr. Jeremiah's "translation" of the Book of Revelation is not only understandable and entertaining, it will also motivate you to continue to seek opportunities to share the Gospel with non-believers.
If you read this work, the next time someone says, "What in the blazes is going on in our society?!," you will be ready to respond with the truth of God's Scripture!

WHO STOLE MY CHURCH by Gordon MacDonald
From suits/ties/wingtips to T-shirts/jeans/flip-flops,
From hymns/organs/choirs to Rap/drums/guitars/praise teams,
From attentive & polite worship to an exuberant, Spirit-filled
raised hand praise session,
From being born again, saved, washed in the blood of the Lamb
to join the church and become a follower of Jesus,
And let's face it...
From "old codgers'" traditions to young people change.
MacDonald, a pastor of 5 churches, has developed a story of a fictional church that focuses on a group of older members who have voted against improvements to the church. He invites about a dozen of these members to meet with him weekly to discuss their concerns. He develops the character and foibles of each person and weaves a scenario to show that change is necessary for any organization and that includes churches. The words "shelf life" and "statue of limitations" come up. A hippie and the youth music team are introduced and their effect on the seniors brings about the change the pastor is seeking.
The church is the people, not the building. They belong to the Lord and He cares about them.
We thank Greene Hollowell for this review.
HOW WOULD JESUS VOTE? by James Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe
Are you a Democrat? A Republican? Neither?
Are you planning to vote for President in November, or are you so disgusted by politics that you intend to not vote?
Regardless of your responses above, have you ever considered how Jesus might vote in today's America? Dr. Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe present a Biblical basis for their speculation as to what marks Jesus would make on a ballot for president or on a referendum on any number of issues.
The authors get our attention by asking, "Do politics and religion mix?" and "Was Christ a liberal or a conservative?" before they tackle national issues one-by-one.
You could probably predict how Jesus would vote on the always-hot topic of abortion, but what about the very complex issue of illegal immigration? This book also addresses:
stem cell research health-care
death penalty global warming
war marriage
education judicial activism
economics political compromise
The authors acknowledge that none of these controversies are cut-and-dry, but remind us to do some research before supporting any particular candidate for office. The good news is that there is still plenty of time left to find ot HWJV (How Would Jesus Vote) before November 4!
SEARCHING FOR HEAVEN ON EARTH by David Jeremiah
"He spent 40 years on the roof of history, having ascended all the Everest's of life--wealth, fame, love, respect, wisdom. And yet at every apex,--Solomon realized: Not only is it desolate at the top, but at the bottom and everywhere in between."
Does this sound like a very encouraging introduction to a book about life!? Not at all, because that word "desolate" does nothing for me! But wait! David Jeremiah does all Christians a favor by applying Solomon's Ecclesiastes to our quest for a meaningful existence. Think about it. Do you desire happiness, or do you really want joy? Is it contentment that motivates your hard work, or is it really peace?
The notion of "heaven on earth" is truly attainable, but only if you use your spiritual vision--God's perspective--rather than your earthly eyes to seek it. But where in the world do we begin our search for a taste of heaven as we stay distracted by our ordinary lives?
The lessons behind these sample chapter titles will help you take that first step in your heavenly adventure:
"When 1 plus 1>2"
"Bored to Death"
"Life Cheats!"
"Employment Without Enjoyment"
"Life is Uncertain: Embrace It!"
David Jeremiah is encouraging each of us to find out what really matters in life; go ahead and start with this book!

JIMMY by Robert Whitlow
JIMMY written by Robert Whitlow is a story of a boy on the brink of adolescence who is considered "slow" and "special"...
Slow by the world's standard and special by the people who love him. The story takes place in the little town of Piney Grove, Georgia, where his father practices law and learns the goodness of God in allowing him to raise Jimmy. The only mother he has ever known is not his biological mother but she loves him as her own. When Jimmy's natural mother wants to establish a relationship with him, after being absent eleven years, you feel the anguish of the courtroom where the decision will be made. His grandparents are also deeply rooted in his life with his grandpa being his greatest advocate.
Jimmy's innocence and honesty goes to the heart of devious plans and motives of others, showing them for what they are. The story will steal your heart.

CAPTURED BY GRACE--No One is Beyond the Reach of a Loving God
by David Jeremiah
What do you and I have in common with Paul of the New Testament and John Newton, the author of "Amazing Grace?"
Much more than you realize!
Paul, of course, is a very familiar character to Christians, especially because he went from being a zealous persecutor of Christians to become a persecuted believer himself. What about Newton's story? John Newton was a slave trader for his country of Britain. Saved from a boat-smashing storm at sea, he began a conversion experience less dramatic than Paul's but equally powerful in reflecting God's amazing love.
Both men's lives illustrate clearly the power of grace, but the theme of this book is how God relentlessly pursues each of us to offer the opportunity to experience his ever-flowing grace in our lives.
Regardless of the depth of our sins, the extent of our unfaithfulness, or the weight of our guilt and shame, David Jeremiah reminds us that God is all-forgiving and grace-giving. Glance at these descriptions of grace that head each chapter to get a taste of the importance of Captured by Grace:
a captivating presence
a comforting provision
a confident promise.
You, no doubt, have heard Pastor Jeremiah speak on television or radio; now read his very encouraging book, CAPTURED BY GRACE. Then envision Paul and John Newton comparing their stories in heaven!

EMPOWERED BY PRAISE by Michael Youssef
Honestly, how often do you praise God? No, not thank God, but praise God? There is a difference, you know. Specifically, how frequently does a Christian praise God in all situations?
The subtitle of this book truly captures the essence of Mr. Youssef's theme: "How God responds when you revel in his glory." The blessings and the challenges of praising God are cited, as well as the effectiveness of praise in overcoming negative attitudes and circumstances. Moreover, for those who do not consider themselves as spontaneous in their prayer life, the author provides some suggestions and examples of praise.
Finally, the end of the book contains a study guide, which would be especially useful in a small group study.
The bottom line? Check out this very readable selection in our wonderful church media center!
THE REST OF GOD by Mark Buchanan
SHOULD A CHRISTIAN WORK ON SUNDAY? Here are a sampling of comments heard in response to this question: "Absolutely not!" The Old Testament makes it clear that the Sabbath is to be a day of rest." "The commandment banning work on the Sabbath is not relevant to today's world: stores opening on Sunday, people working 6-7 days a week, and not enough time during the week to catch up on chores." "If I really believe there should be no work on Sunday, then I should not be eating out that day!"
Regardless of your stand on the issue, THE REST OF GOD is a must-read for you. Just listen to the subtitle-"Restoring your soul by restoring the Sabbath." Buchanan covers all the bases in encouraging Christians to relish the Sabbath for the simple reason that God created the Sabbath for man. In fact, this book moves beyond the debate of Sabbath legalism to help us actually find God's rest in the everyday world.
The author's introduction is entitled "Starting to Stop" while his epilogue is called, "Now Stop." In between are chapters that are easy to read and excellent reminders that a person's life is a careful balance of work and rest. Allow these few chapter titles to grab your attention: "Stopping to Find What's Missing," "Stopping to Number Our Days Aright," "Stopping to Remove the Taskmasters," and my favorite "Stopping to Just Waste Time!"
The most important section in THE REST OF GOD describes any Sunday in terms of our being able to anticipate the eternal, ultimate rest of heaven. Think about this for just a moment - shouldn't Sunday be a time in which you and I truly rest in God's presence? Shouldn't Sundays in particular be days on which we can "be still and know that He is God?" What a meaningful and fulfilling way to enjoy heaven on earth!
THE REST OF GOD is a book that I plan to add to my home library - it's terrific!
We thank Steve DeGaetani for these book reviews.

Lawyers for ex-Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick are trying to keep information about the ex-mayor's past from the upcoming trial.
The lawyers for Kwame Kilpatrick and his three co-defendants have asked a federal judge to prohibit scandalous text messages, information about his troubled past and college grades from being presented to jurors.
The ex-mayor specifically asked U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds to keep away any information that indicates he has been imprisoned or disciplined in the past. He also requested that his transcripts from college and law school are excluded from the trial by asking the judge to rule that both are unrelated evidence.
Edmunds made the decision to appoint an anonymous jury to the case due to its intense public interest. However, Kilpatrick's three co-defendants Bernard Kilpatrick, contractor Bobby Ferguson and ex-water boss Victor Mercado are opposed to keeping the jurors identities a secret.
Ferguson has expressed some concerns about text messages and other statements that may be read during the public trial. He believes that many of statements are damaging and irrelevant. One message in particular references a Book Cadillac Project in which Ferguson and Kilpatrick discussed making money off of the proposed plan.
Another message that Ferguson's lawyer Gerald Evelyn asked to remain outside the trial includes a references to a 35 percent demand share that Ferguson requested from an unnamed company.
Evelyn believes the court is intentionally selecting the most incriminating messages on purpose out of the over 600,000 message batch.
"To cherry-pick 25 quotes, ascribe a meaning to them, out of a list of 628,000?" Evelyn said. "It's unfair. It's selective. And it's not the place for it."

Officer Ralph Pendelbury is an officer for the Los Santos Police Department. He plays an important role in the story for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Events of GTA San Andreas
Pendelbury threatened to give the police damning evidence against Officer Frank Tenpenny and Officer Eddie Pulaski. He was not working for C.R.A.S.H., but was in Internal Affairs. Tenpenny, Pulaski and their new associate, Officer Jimmy Hernandez, eventually caught him. They took him to a secluded area in the dock area of Los Santos, where Officer Pulaski beats him up. Tenpenny stopped Pulaski and instructed Hernandez to kill him. At first Hernandez refused but after Tenpenny threatened his life, Hernandez shot and killed Pendelbury.
Tenpenny, Pulaski and Hernandez framed Carl Johnson for the murder of Officer Pendelbury, which allowed them to manipulate Carl for a period of time. Tenpenny and Pulaski were later both charged with the murder of Pendelbury, although Carl Johnson had already murdered Pulaski. Tenpenny was cleared of all charges due to lack of evidence, which effectively set off the Los Santos Riots, which led to his death.
Later, when Carl Johnson reaches Las Venturas, Mike Toreno tells him about Pendelbury's death at the hands of Officer Tenpenny, implying that Jimmy Hernandez told the Secret Services about the murder, but did not mention that he was the one who held the gun.

Japan's New Tourism Highlight in Kyushu
While Tokyo and Kyoto are noteworthy destinations for the majority of US travelers, the Japan National Tourism Organization in New York has introduced Kyushu as the next must-see destination. Extraordinarily rich in culture and nature, the profound culinary and pottery culture of Kyushu received new attention from tourism industry and media in New York, along with profound culinary and pottery culture. As the cultural crossroads of East Asia, and as the first settlement of early Europeans, the remarkable cultural experiences and exception train services offered in Kyushu were officially introduced to the US travel industry.
|The Seven Stars in Kyushu
Mr. Lyman clearly differentiated shochu from Japanese sake with ingredients and the processing methods, which are strongly associated with regional climate and geographic characteristics. For the very authentic experience of shochu, a shochu promotion company in New York Zation invited six Kyushu local shochu distillers to the event, serving their top of the line labels to the attendees.
In addition, the discussions also included tidbits on Kyushu's regional tradition, craftsmanship, pottery pieces at the national treasure level, and premium quality of food. Each one of these exceptional extraordinary attractions was also introduced in the introduction of the "Seven Stars in Kyushu," the newly launched luxury sleeper trains in Kyushu. With only fourteen suites on board, each room is carefully designed using the finest products of Kyushu, such as the Arita pottery ware basin on the vanity, local Oshima-Tsumugi fabric for the chair cushions, local premium cedar wood walls, and elaborate wooden fixtures crafted in the region's traditional style from centuries ago. Meals are prepared with local premium ingredients, served in actual art pieces created by renowned artists in the country. The Seven Stars train travels to several magnificent tourist spots such as the hot springs area in Yufuin, the dynamic volcano known as Mt. Aso, the Southern coastal town of Miyazaki, the historic city of Nagasaki, and more.

Kyushu is one of the four major islands of Japan. Because of its southwest location near the Korean Peninsula and mainland China, the regional culture has stemmed from foreign cultural influences, including influences brought by the first Europeans who traveled to Nagasaki for international trade in the 17th century.

The sixth edition of the Bongo Star Search (BSS), this time dubbed BSS Second Chance which involves former stars of the competitions.
Soon they will be heading for a camp at a place so far known to its organizers- Benchmark Production Limited.
The annual event which officially took-off on June 23th has to a great extent promoted Bongo Flavor music in the country and the country's music at large.
Fourteen contestants are to compete in the duel to be done in house dubbed BSS House. Each one would fight to remain in the house to the finals. Singing is part of the game at the house while they way contestants mixes with fellow contestants is also one of the main tests at the house.
This years' BSS will see the former BSS stars for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 fight for the title.
The call up of the Stars came after a successful period of sharpening Music stars and this stands to be one of the best active reality show that develops musicians to be disciplined, committed, self reliance and hard work.
Under the guidance of the Benchmark Production Limited's Director Ritah Paulsen, the show like the previous ones is expected even more spectacular. The show's brilliant judges Salama Jabiri and Master Jay of MJ records would also grace the event.
The artists to participate at the BSS Second Chance house are Beatrice William, Bella Kombo, Chibidayo, Hajji Ramadhani, Imani Lisu, Juma Hussein and Lulu Abdul.
Others are Marry Banyukwa, Marry Lucos, Mwapwani Yahya, Rogers Lucus, Sarafina Mshindo, Shafii Zuberi and Waziri Salum.
Bongo Star Search started in 2006 giving opportunity to youth with singing talents. At the house the artists are expected to improve their talents while being trained by organizers.
Also the BSS Second Chance participants are training in contemporary fashions so as to sharpen their attractiveness since music goes with fashions.
Stylist personnel Rio Paul, Kevin Mariki and Noel Ndale are the ones preparing BSS Second Chance contestants in terms of musical dress codes.
BSS SECOND Chance would be aired every week at the Independent Television (ITV).
Last year BSS winner Marium Mohammed was awarded with 30M/-.
The BSS 2010 champion Marium was not in the list of the BSS Second Chance because she had already bee a winner in the competitions once.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Call it spring's fever. Federal records show the U.S. just finished its hottest spring on record.
March, April and May in the Lower 48 states beat the oldest spring temperature record by a full 2 degrees. The three months averaged 57.1 degrees, more than 5 degrees above average. That's the most above normal for any U.S. season on record. Meteorologists define those three months as spring.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also reported Thursday that it was the second warmest May since records began in 1895. May averaged 64.3 degrees, just behind 1934.
The first five months of 2012 were the hottest start to a year in U.S. weather record history. The 12-month period starting last June is also the hottest on record.
Meteorologists blamed a persistent weather pattern.

[Adobe TV Presents...] [Paul Trani in...] [Adobe Flash Professional CS5, Training with Trani] Welcome to Training with Trani. I'm actually going to be covering video now. And, really, video is super powerful, obviously, on the web. Flash has been at the forefront of video on the web and leads the pack at about 70 percent plus. There's some great enhancements that are done in Flash Professional CS5. I want to show those to you. What I want to do is, I want to go ahead and drop a video right in here in this empty area. I'm going to do that by going to file, import. And I could import to stage, or I can select import video. What I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and import a video file that asks me where is your video. So you've got to look at your video. It is an FLV file. I've located it, I'll click "Open", then I want to make sure I click "Continue." Notice that this is going to be an external video, so I need to make sure that when I upload my Flash website, or whatever project I'm working on, I need to make sure that video travels with it. So I'll click "Continue," and now I get the opportunity to pick the skin, which are basically all of these buttons right down here. Notice that these are the new ones, this set up at the top, this minimal set, and as I kind of click through these, you can see it obviously change. I'm just going to go ahead and pick maybe the second one in. I'll define that, so it actually gives me sort of a time code, and then I can even sort of customize the color. Maybe I want to go with a green to kind of match the background. Click "Continue," and this is where it tells me, "Hey, you know what? Don't forget to upload that FLV file, otherwise you'll be sorry because it's not going to play." All right, here's my file. And look at that. I can actually see the first frame of the video. This is one of the many enhancements. And, sure enough, I can kind of position this around. I can actually see the content. I'll go beyond that because these controls--look at them. As I roll over them, you can see them highlight. So I'll click the Play button. And that's right. The video's actually playing. So again, talk about accuracy with video. I'm really able to really understand the content I'm using and sort of modify my design, at least my layout based on that. So again, there's my video, the controls work. Whether it's kind of scrubbing through, the play buttons, audio, it all works; it's all good. I'll click "Pause." The next thing I want to kind of show you is the properties panel. So with this video selected, I'm going to go over here to "Component Parameters." So look at this. In my properties panel, I can see all of my parameters, and, sure enough, I can change them, as well. Such as, say for instance, the background color. I can go ahead and change that to a red and have that really kind of pop out. But again, I'm not going to cover all of these various properties or anything like that. You can see I can go ahead and control the skin and the various other elements. What I want to focus on are Cue Points because right here, what I can do is I can add Cue Points to my video. So let's just kind of jump back, and, again, since this is actually live video playing, I can really define my Cue Points. In fact, what I'll do is I'll click "Play" and then I'll click that plus sign right there. I've just added a Cue Point. Let's add another Cue Point as he kind of leaves the scene, right there. I added two Cue Points sort of on the fly. And now what I can do is I can go ahead and define names for these Cue Points. So I'm going to have this pop-up. I'm just going to call it "PopupIn." And the second Cue Point is going to be exactly what you think it's going to be, "PopupOut," just like that, in and out. Again, over the course of roughly 7 seconds, I'm going to see this pop up. So that's my plan. Let me go ahead and grab my pop-up because it is in my library. I'll just drag out this movie clip, and I'll give it a name of, "Popup." There it is, kind of position it right here. It looks pretty good. Again, with my video selected, I'm aware of these names. And what I can do is I can actually use the new Code Snippets panel to enhance this video, as well. So, I'm going to go to "Window," down to "Code Snippets." So here's my Code Snippets panel. Notice that it's loaded full of code, exactly as the name implies. I can twirl down this audio and video section, and you can see all of the various sort of action script code snippets that I can apply to it. But what I want to apply is the "On Cue Point Event." Okay, so, again, with my video selected, I need to give it an instance name, so "BikeVid." I'm going to double-click "On Cue Point Events." And there we are. It adds this code. All this code, I didn't have to write, thanks to Code Snippets panel. It gives me instructions on how it works and how to modify it. So again, it's adding an event listener to the "BikeVid," and it's listening for Cue Points. And it will just trace out. It will show in my Output panel the name of the Cue Point, so "PopupIn" or "PopupOut." So that's how this is set up, but I can go ahead and modify this. If the name is equal to "PopupIn," then do this, whatever is between these two brackets. In this case, I want to change the visibility of the pop-up to visible equal to true, just like that. Notice I actually have to set it to false at the beginning, so popup visible equals false. So it's hidden initially, and then when it hits this Cue Point called "PopupIn," it's going to go ahead and show that pop-up. I'm going to go ahead and duplicate this, so I'm just going to do Command C, Command V, copy and paste it, because for the "PopupOut," I want to go ahead and set the visibility to false, just like that. Okay, so I'm basically controlling my graphic using that video, and, of course, using Cue Points. So I'm going to go ahead and just save my file real quick, and I'm going to go to "Control Test Movie," and I'm going to test it out in Flash. I'm just going to watch this play. There's my video. Again, the controls work. We're just going to keep an eye on this timer right here. There's my video that pops up. And again, it pops up at 7 seconds. It will play--show up to 14, and then it disappears. So as you noticed, it's really easy to work with video in Flash Professional CS5. Not only that, but you can easily add other enhancements, such as Cue Points, making it just real easy and seamless working with video in Flash.

Ludewa legislator Deo Filikunjombe (CCM) yesterday pointed an accusing finger at Finance minister Mustafa Mkulo, associating him with corruption, dishonesty and lack of integrity.
He did so as debate continued on reports tabled in the National Assembly by parliamentary committees for public accounts (PAC), parastatal organisations accounts (POAC), and local authorities accounts (LAAC).
Visibly enraged, the MP declared in the National Assembly that he was armed with enough impeccable evidence on the matter and on "all those bent on taking the country to Hell".
"Our country is dying. There are ministers who are killing this nation. They swore to defend the nation and all its resources but they are doing contrary to what they were sworn in to do," he said, noting that the people he was referring to were misappropriating public funds and other property with virtual impunity for selfish interests.
"This country does not belong to CCM. We are aware that you are protecting each other and this has a hidden agenda," declared Filikunjombe.
He said it was minister Mkulo who appointed the probe committee under whose oversight the Controller and Auditor General conducted the audits of the accounts of various public institutions now being discussed in the House.
"The minister thought the CAG would side with him. I commend the CAG for fulfilling his duty diligently," said the legislator, calling on all his fellow MPs to go through the CAG's reports carefully and thoroughly "as it is there that the truth lies".
Filikunjombe further declared that Mkulo wanted the Consolidated Holding Corporation (CHC) board of directors dissolved "as part of a plot to enable him to assume ownership of the assets or property concerned".
"That was precisely why when the minister went ahead with his dissolution plans and the CHC director wanted to know why, he (the director) was suspended," he said.
"We have been all along recommending that the government set up boards that perform, but there has been no response. The Tanzania Cotton Board is hopeless. So when we are talking of CHC, the person who deceived was not (POAC Chairman and Kigoma North MP) Zitto Kabwe, but Mkulo," declared the MP.
"Mr Prime Minister, we have no faith in your Cabinet. We are saying these things in our capacity as people's representatives," he said, with Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda in the House chamber.
"This is our (CCM) government and not opposition Chadema's. We must tell it the truth. The government is performing poorly," he added.
Filikunjombe, who is also POAC deputy chairman, said Industry and Trade minister Dr Cyril Chami was not involved in the scandal allegations facing Tanzania Bureau of Standards director general Charles Ekelege. "Chami and his permanent secretary are doing all their best to see to it that the bureau performs to satisfaction, but there is someone killing it," he noted.
Meanwhile, CCM legislators skipped part of the National Assembly session yesterday to attend a party caucus, which reports said was called to discuss the nature of proceedings in the House and government business.
Sources said the caucus discussed in detail the performance of some ministers, six of them in connection with their having apparently failed to deliver as expected, and made recommendations to PM Pinda on what measures to take to rectify matters.
Ministries that have drawn the most fire from MPs following the tabling of reports by the three House oversight committees include Finance; Industry and Trade, Prime Minister's Office (Regional Administration and Local Government); Transport; and Health and Social Welfare.
Some CCM legislators have been openly declaring in the House, as some are said to have done at the caucus, that poor performance by some ministers is portraying the government in poor light, making it risk losing public trust, confidence and support.
Debating the reports of Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Local Authority Accounting Committee and POAC tabled in the House
in the evening session, Hai legislator and Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly, Freeman Mbowe said the people were tired of the government not listening to them.
"What type of government is this that does not listen to its people or its members of parliament?" he asked, saying the government treated MPs and Tanzanians as if they were nothing. He said the government which had been overspending, was still borrowing billions which would be paid by the children and grandchildren of this nation can not be left to continue misleading people.
He said the national debt was increasing and in three years to come, it might reach 25trn/-.
He questioned the absence of the Prime Minister, ministers and all party members who were in a party caucus, leaving only two ministers (William Lukuvi and Attorney general, Frederick Werema) and some three CCM MPs in the afternoon session.
He faulted the habit of the government not listening to the people and the culture of officials enjoying protection even when they were linked to serious charges.
Earlier the Ludewa MP Filikunjombe had described most ministers as 'thieves'.
Filikunjombe who is POAC vice chairman told his fellow MPs that he had evidence to substantiate his accusations against the ministers.
He leveled the accusations against the ministers immediately after Trade and Industries Dr Cyril Chami stood up in the debating chamber to respond to the MPs' contributions, some of which accused his Ministry of protecting the Tanzania Bureau of Standard (TBS) boss, Charles Ekelege and the malpractices at the institution.
But, Ndugai did not grant Lukuvi's request as the time allocated for the Parliamentary session ended.
In his defense Dr Chami said he had no personal gain whatsoever in the TBS malpractices uncovered by POAC and the office of the Controller and Auditor General (CAG).
The beleaguered minister asked MPs and any other individual with evidence to prove the case to adduce it to the Parliament. "If proved beyond reasonable doubt that I have personal gain in this case I will resign forthwith,'" Dr Chami stated in Dodoma yesterday.
The issue at the centre of the debate surrounds revelation by 2009/2010 CAG and POAC reports that the Tanzania Bureau of Standard gave false information to POAC regarding vehicle inspection offices abroad.
It is reported that the bureau under the leadership of Ekelege in 2010 lied to the POAC team by telling it that it (TBS) owned and ran vehicle inspection offices abroad.
But when POAC traveled abroad to inspect the offices – going to Singapore, Hong Kong and in China - as per information from the bureau's management, what was seen was just offices owned by private agencies.
Meanwhile Members of Parliament yesterday put aside political differences, faulting government supervision of its operations, especially after various audit reports by CAG tabled in the House last week and those of watchdog committees, uncovered looting of public coffers.
"It is high time we used our powers to hold these people (Ministers) accountable or we shut up instead of complaining every now and then," said Tundu Lissu.
The fierce reaction and anger against ministers was obvious in the protests against massive embezzlement, theft and misuse of public monies.
Deputy Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office (Regional Administration and Local Governments) Aggrey Mwanri failed to assuage the MPs' anger as he pleaded: "We ask MPs to leave all this to us. We are going to deal with all embezzlers, thieves and all government officials misusing public money perpendicularly, right, left and centre."
However Mwanri was criticised by Kabwe Zitto (Kigoma North) for his repeated commitments in Parliament but with no tangible results.
Winding up the debate on POAC report, its chairman Zitto Kabwe said he planned to collect signatures of 70 MPs in a bid to move a motion of lack of confidence in the PM who was leader of government business.

UPDATE: Women Writing Nature: A Feminist View (9/15/05; NEMLA, 3/2/06-3/5/06)

Women Writing Nature: A Feminist View
Rachel Carson, writer, scientist, and ecologist, became famous as a naturalist and science writer for the public. Embedded in her early works was the view that human beings were but one part of nature distinguished primarily by their power to alter it, in some cases irreversibly. With the 1962 publication of Silent Spring, she challenged the practices of agricultural scientists and the government, and called for a change in the way humankind viewed the natural world. (Rachel Carson.org)
Since Silent Spring, was published, the number of texts about the natural world written by women has grown exponentially. These fiction and nonfiction texts are as diverse as the women who write them. Terry Tempest Williams draws connections between cancer in her extended family and the downwind effect of nuclear testing. Kathleen Dean Moore links her exploration of rivers and Pacific coastal bays to an understanding of her father and her children. Susan Griffin explores the eroticism of the natural world. Writers such as Ana Castillo and Linda Hogan call attention to environmental justice issues and the effects on minority communities.
These women are utilizing the historical connection of women and the natural world in new ways. For centuries women have been associated with nature but many feminists have sought to distance themselves from nature because of representations of women controlled by powerful Anatural forces@ and confined to domestic spaces. However, in the spirit of Rachel Carson, some writers have begun to invoke nature for feminist purposes or have used nature as an agent of resistance.
This roundtable will consider women=s writings about the natural world in light of recent and current feminist theory.

While exploring Dewford Island, Ash and co. notice a large cave and Max states that it's Granite Cave. They all enter and soon they fall into a pit trap courtesy of Team Rocket. Unfortunately they fall in as well and the two groups are mixed and separated (Forest Grumps anyone?). This time around, there are three groups: Males being Ash, Brock and James. Females being May and Jessie and the rest being Max, Pikachu and Meowth. Can these groups be brought back to order and who is in Granite Cave along with our heroes and villains?
The gang arrived to the Granite cave where they are supposed to meet Steven Stone, who researches the stones. So, they enter the cave. Team Rocket dig a hole to catch Ash's Pikachu, even if the hole was already present. While Ash tries to get Steven to come to them, Brock is putting stickers so they can foind their way out. Steven is excavating the stones, while his Aaron is digging. Steven gives it some food, and hopes for a better place to dig.
The gang arrives to a spot, but they fall into Team Rocket's hole. However, a crack is starting to spread, making everyone fall deeper into the hole. All split up in 3 different directions. In one direction, Max, Ash's Pikachu and Team Rocket's Meowth have fallen. Max realizes that the Granite cave is a complex of tunnels, so they venture to higher levels. Meowth is angry when they are going away, but Max says that he said they should get out of the place in the first place.
In second direction, Jessie and May have fallen. However, the cave they fell into is much lower than the previous one, so they might climb their way out. In third direction, Brock, Ash and James have fallen. Ash and James want to battle each other for Pokemon, but they forget they are stuck into the rubble.
Max, Pikachu and Meowth search for Steven, who should get them out of the cave. Pikachu and Meowth smell some fresh air, so they go in that direction. Meanwhile, Steven searches for people who he heard screaming. Ash, Brock and James also venture the tunnels. When Ash asks why James shouldn't leave Jessie and Meowth, James builds up anger, but a lone Aaron arrives. The Aaron produces a sound, forcing more Aarons to arrive and they run to them.
Steven came to the point where everybody fell into the hole, so Steven and Aron go to find them. James, Ash and Brock run away from the Aarons, finding a tunnel where Aarons cannot climb onto. Max, Pikachu and Meowth have gone to a waterfall, so they notice a root from which they can go to upper levels. May pushes Jessie, suddenly a Loudred has fallen and goes away, almost stomping on Jessie's head. The hole gets bigger, so Jessie falls down to May.
Steven sees the holes where Arons should be, so they need to go look for the prople. Max, Mewoth and Pikachu climb the root, but Max gives up, He asks Meowth how can he speak, so Meowth makes a flashback where she met Meowzie and had to impress her, but in the end she got away. Max and Pikachu climb the rot, making Meowth angry for not listening.
James, Brock and Ash have ventured to higher levels. Brock notices the marker, so they are near the entrance, but they fall into the hole (again). Steven spots that the hole has become even bigger. Max, Meowth and Pikachu have climbed to the top where they smell fresh air. Pikachu smells someone's smell, so Max thinks it must be Steven. May and Jessie venture the tunnels and they spot a light so they run towards it, but they fall into the hole.
Ash, James and Brock are being chased by the Arons (again), but Jessie and May fall onto them. Meowth, Max and Pikachu finally arrive to Steven, who will find the others. They arrive to a tunnel where they can hear footsteps. The footsteps are of Max and Mewoth's friends. Steven gives them directions where they will meet - to the waterfall. Max, Pikachu and Meowth grab onto Steven, who jumps to the other side.
Steven tries to calm Arons down, but since it didn't work, his Aron uses Roar to communicate with them. Everybody reunites, even if The members of Team Rocket stated they don't like each other, but they are happy to be reunited. In any case, Jessie brings her Seviper to a fight and James his James' Cacnea. Pikachu uses Quick Attack, but Steven stops the fight, making Steven the one who will fight Team Rocket.
Steven brings his Aggron, it uses Hyper Beam, blasting Team Rocket outta the cave. Steven's Aron found a stone, so Steven takes it - it is a Fire Stone, making Steven pleased with the discovery. Steven guides the gang out to sea so Ash may train. Steven leaves in search for more stones.
- Featured Pokemon: Vigoroth
- Steven was the Hoenn League Champion in Ruby and Sapphire but Wallace was the Champion in Emerald, so this series is based on the events of Ruby and Sapphire.
- This epsiode's name is a pun to "A whole lot of trouble".

A man is accused of assaulting two women and trying to rob one of them, all on the same night.
Keith Sinclair of Chocowinity is charged with attempted strong-arm robbery, simple assault, communicating threats, first degree burglary, and assault by strangulation.
Greenville police say on June 9th Sinclair is accused of breaking into a woman's motel room at the Economy Inn and assaulting her. The victim told police she didn't know Sinclair and she was able to escape her attacker and call police.
Then about two hours later another woman said she was at Walgreens on South Memorial Drive renting a movie from a vending machine when a man approached her and demanded money. That woman was also assaulted.
The 47-year-old was jailed on a $200,000 bond.
