do you fancy sharing a review?
Who reads hardcopy anymore….honestly? Purchase, maybe, but actually read? With e-books and classic literature catalogued and reproduced by the major universities, I'm actually surprised that a book this old hasn't been digitized….yet.
I had that book assigned as part of a literature course. That was the year that Hurricane Andrew blew through South Florida (the school was in South FL). People who read the book before the hurricane thought the book was unrealistic, excessively melodramatic and overblown. People who started reading the book *after* Andrew thought the book was realistic and scary. The hurricane described in the book killed about 4000 people around Lake Okeechobee (if you look at an outline of the state of FL, Lake Okeechobee is the bullethole near the bottom).

Okay, as I said in my last post, I spent all day yesterday at an older garden in which they wanted "all grass" and all the plants removed. I cannot believe all that was there, 90% of it was the run of the mill "spreaders" like shasta daisy, mint, yarrow, black eyed susans….
As you can see, the entire bed of the truck was full! She even gave me an arbor that my hubby says he can fix and we'll clean it up for the front sidewalk….. I'll post when this happens… anyway…. Here is what I brought home…. 4 clematis, 5 roses, 6 big clumps of astilbe, 5 big starts of lilyturf, a pink peony, 25 big starts of daylily, and at least 60 irises, maybe more.
The sad thing is, I hardly made a dent in this older garden!
But they were all huge plants, here you can see astilbe, variegated lilyturf, and a daylily. When I say a start, I mean huge plants! I have no idea the colors of anything, it will be fun to see what they are.
I found 5 rose bushes and a few evergreens that I was able to dig up…. so many things were just too big to move. The trunk of these roses are huge, they have to be 10 years old or older…. I am most excited about these.
But she has TONS of irises…. and this is after I put buckets of them out…. this is what I have left over! I am going to work again today in the garden.
But this is what I am most curious about…. she had 4 huge clumps of alliums! I have no idea what kind, but they are huge with a rounded top foliage… at least 30 inches tall already. This is the first year I have planted alliums, and mine are starting to bloom. So now I have about 35 more bulbs planted around the butterfly garden – hill area. Who knows what kind they are, but the foliage is very pretty, a good accents and it stood up straight, not flopping over. Any idea what I have here?
Anyway, it was hard work, and it is not done yet, but I had good helpers and it was a neat experience. I have been invited back to "get more" and I think I will once more things are up and I can tell what they are. The daylilies I put out by the road in the wildflower beds. Once they bloom and if I live the colors, they can come up by the house! I am funny that way, I have too many plants to waste a spot on something I am not 100% sure of. But that is the fun of it…. watching and waiting for the blooms!
Happy Gardening Everyone…..Brooke

Hey everyone,
You might've noticed the banners were missing for a bit earlier. We're doing a server swap and that was part of it. The next part involves moving the site, proper. So we'll have a small bit of downtime while that happens. We'll be back up afterward, though.

Teddy Bear Road Trip
A local news channel ran a story about a farmer turning some hay bales into a holiday-themed teddy bear. Apparently, it welcomes passers-by the farm.
Our youngest daughter was heading north from Omaha one weekend and decided to take a detour to see the bear. She and her friend were happy they did. They loved it.
A few days later, the kiddo asked me if I was going to drive up and photograph the teddy bear. I doubted it, I replied. I wanted to. And she knew it. So, she offered to drive up with me.
I mentioned this to both my wife and ex-wife. Their replies were the same, "I knew it!"
So, long story short…road trip. My eldest daughter joined the sojourn.
Driving on US Highway 30 through small rural Iowa towns was an enjoyable trip. Highway 30, also named the "Lincoln Highway," was the first transcontinental highway in the United States.
We had lunch in Denison, home to actress Donna Reed. Later, as we neared our destination, we drove through Wall Lake. Wall Lake happens to be the birthplace of crooner Andy Williams. I had to stop and take a photo of the sign.
Once we reached Lakeview and the bear, I was impressed. The bear display was larger than I imagined. The farmer went to great detail in putting together the bear.
It sits near the intersection of two highways. It is clearly viewable for passers-by.
We hope he does it annually, possibly with a different take, such as a Santa Bear or maybe a snowman bear.
It was worth the 2-hour drive north. If you have the chance to take the venture up, I strongly encourage it. If you have a similar attraction in your area, take the road trip for a great time.
Happy holidays to all!

Batten down the hatches and man the sails, director Gore Verbinski has informed Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer that he will not helm the fourth film of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise.
The installment is supposed to set in 2010 with Johnny Depp returning as Captain Jack Sparrow.
But Verbinksi is still working with Depp with his animated flick "Rango" for Paramount Pictures. The actor is voicing the title character. The flick will come out on March 2011.
When asked what he really thinks of the $2.6 billion worldwide-grossing "Pirates" franchise? Verbinski revealed:
"I had a fantastic time bringing 'Pirates' to life, and I am eternally grateful to Jerry, Johnny and the rest of the creative and production team," Verbinski said. "I'm looking forward to all of us crossing paths again in the future."
The director will next focus all his energy to adapting the bestselling videogame "Bioshock" for Universal Pictures.

Universal Pictures enters a 3-year pact with Dark Horse Comics, and the first project to come out of that union is the planned big-screen adaptation of "The Umbrella Academy."
The plot of the graphic novel is akin to "Watchmen." According to Variety:
"Umbrella Academy," which bowed in 2007 and spawned a second series, revolves around a disbanded group of seven superheroes who reunite after the death of their adoptive father, an alien disguised as a famous entrepreneur, and carry out his plan to save the world.
Universal's successful "Hellboy" franchise was lifted from a Dark Horse Comics series. The script for "The Umbrella Academy" will be written by Mark Bomback, who wrote Disney's "Race to Witch Mountain."

Oh gosh, the hoopla surrounding the upcoming "Star Trek" is reaching mass hysteria, almost! Some folks in Australia are watching it today, April 7th, and director/producer J.J. Abrams and cast members Eric Bana, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Karl Urban are going to be presenting the film to 1,600 guests in Sydney Opera House's legendary Concert Hall for the out-of-this-world experience!
But, "Star Trek" was also shown last night at Austin's Alamo Drafthouse! So what did the lucky ones think?
Here's some Twitter reviews from Slash Film:
bosmon: holy sh** we just saw world premiere of new #Star Trek and its AWESOME
ColeAbaius: Yes, Im the guy whos never seen an episode of ST and got to see Star Trek tonight. As a total ST Virgin - the movie is incredible.
simplygreg: Just finished seeing new Star Trek flick introduced by the writers, Damon Lindelof and, wait for it, Leonard Nimoy! It was amazing!
rejects: Just got super secret clearance to tell you that yes, I saw JJs Star Trek. And I was blown away. it is super accessible, in the right ways. Fans at my screening also dug it, so that bodes well.
And over at Cinema Blend, there's even an enthusiastic review!
The new Star Trek movie is amazing- easily the best Trek movie since The Wrath of Khan, and a veritable feast of sight and sound: A captivating adventure that grabs you from the first and doesn't let go. The effects are staggering, finally what the stories have deserved so richly. There are enough huge fireballs, shattering explosions and exciting fights to go around. The movie's first 5-10 minutes are of note I feel: This sequence is brilliant and had me immediately on the edge of my seat.
The movie follows the story of the initial meeting of the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, twisting and turning from its original path thanks to a plot of revenge by the 24th century Romulan Captain Nero. The less said about what this entails, and what changes are in store for both the universe and characters- the better. I'm told there are some spoiler-rich reviews out there. Avoid them. This movie packs a lot of adventure and surprises, and is best seen unspoiled, in my humble opinion.
All the adventure is balanced, however, by dead on work by the actors and a generous focus of the story on the characters themselves. All of the main crew get a nice picture of who they are, only Chekov ever feels like window dressing, a problem every previous Trek movie has had (even my beloved Khan) in spades. In particular, I would like to single out McCoy (Karl Urban) and Scotty (Simon Pegg) for being much improved. Not only do the actors completely nail their parts, but both characters are much more interestingly written now.
As great as they are though, the weight of these stories has always been on Kirk and Spock. Both are well executed here, and I can safely say that I already like the new Kirk more than I ever did the old. He's still Kirk, but you understand why he's Kirk, and there's more humanity to him. Old Kirk was sometimes a dick because, well, he was. This Kirk feels a touch more pity, has a touch more pain, and actually goes out of his way to save his crew, which makes him far easier to root for.
Zachary Quinto as Spock, aside from the obvious physical resemblance, also feels right. This movie is more Kirk-centric, I think, but Quinto does a good job conveying the inner turmoil and barely suppressed green-blooded volcano boiling under the character's surface. The only issue I have is that a lot of the character development that took Spock many episodes and movies in the original universe seem to be compressed into a very short time here, and I worry that they may be wrapping all of this up too neatly and cleanly. In one scene, specifically, Spock seems to undergo a complete attitude reversal in the space of about three minutes- Seething with rage and violence one minute then suddenly, after a quick epiphany, positive and collected and ready to help in any way he can the next. It feels cut short, like something got left on the cutting room floor.
And that leads into my issues with the film. There are several bits that feel rushed, from the narrated flashback (forward?) which seems to clip along far too quickly and forces Nimoy to be abbreviated, to the handling of the Vulcans. Sarek is the only performance here I'll single out as being definitely poorer for the reboot. I'm not sure anyone could have filled those shoes, but the dignity and depth that Mark Lenard brought to the role is sorely missed. Otherwise, Chekov's accent, while deliberately pronounced, actually did become a little annoying in several spots, and Eric Bana's villain, while played well, is given a bit short shrift, with only a very brief explanation of who he is and what he wants. This cuts both ways though, as the movie nicely avoids the trap that so many of these films fall into, over-focusing on the main villain to the detriment of the heroes.
Overall- The runtime flies by with very few lulls in the pacing, reinvigorating characters and a universe that had, lets be honest, grown stale and tired. More than anything else, the movie just feels so much more fun than any previous entry. There's more humor, more thrills, far more energy and a much better movie here than anything I've seen from Star Trek* since the 80's. I admit I was skeptical- I was not prepared to care about this universe and these characters again, after the crushing mediocrity that they had become. I can be skeptical no more, though. This is a fantastic movie it's own right, one I would definitely recommend to Trekkie and new fan alike.
"Star Trek" beams into theaters May 8th, so just a few sleeps y'all

"Wolverine" Leaked Fallout! Fox Columinist Fired, Disney's Dick Cook and Director Steven Soderbergh Speak Out!
Since the news of "Wolverine's" online leak last week, more stories are developing connected to the piracy. First, longtime Fox News entertainment blogger Roger Friedman has been fired!
Friedman reviewed the leaked film which prompted many folks in the blogosphere to scream blood! What was Friedman thinking? Reviewing an illegal copy of a film that his parent company is releasing!
Then, Rep. Howard Berman (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs committee, called a hearing to introduce legislation aimed at stopping piracy outside the U.S. A timely meeting in light of the "Wolverine" leak.
Among Hollywood attendees were Walt Disney Studios chairman Dick Cook and director Steven Soderbegh. Cook says:
"A single infringing copy of a movie sourced in one country and placed on the Internet will be translated into mass distribution of counterfeit DVDs within hours. And when it comes to Internet piracy, few if any borders remain."
Soderbergh, meanwhile, called for Hollywood to not rely on the government for help, but to act autonomously in the fight against piracy.
"Litigation is slow and the Internet is fast, so it doesn't make sense to ask the government to be our police," Soderbergh said. "What we would like is to be deputized to solve our own problems, to be granted the kind of pull-down and inspection abilities being proposed in France so we can act swiftly and fairly on our own behalf."
The director even blamed piracy for the poor showing of his film, "Che," at its international release. Soderbergh told Variety:
"Spain's a hotbed of piracy, and the Latin American distributors told us after that 'We're dead,' " he admitted. "It's going to be a problem for films that aren't released day-and-date."

The fantastic Christina Ricci has signed on for "Born to Be a Star," the porn-inspired comedy that Adam Sandler co-wrote, and will co-produce. Tom Brady ("The Hot Chick") will direct.
Ricci will play the innocent girlfriend of a "small-town nerd who stumbles upon a family secret: His quiet and demure parents were famous porn stars in the 1970s. This motivates him to leave Northern Iowa for Hollywood, hoping to follow in their footsteps and fulfill his destiny as the biggest adult-film star in the world." (The Hollywood Reporter)
No word yet on whether Sandler is going to star as well, but it's nice to see Ricci in a comedy again.

One of the biggest problems we are facing nationwide in the child care industry is (and has been) the high percentage of turnover. We are, unfortunately, a high turnover industry. Personally, I speak often to the high cost of turnover not only in money, but in culture. Today I wanted to take a different angle and tell you when turnover can be OK.
It may feel like you are getting mixed messages at times – "Slow to hire, quick to fire" and "turnover is bad, keep your turnover percentage low." Let me explain. "Slow to Hire, Quick to Fire" should be a motto that you have at your center. That doesn't mean that you go into your center and start firing everyone quickly. It means that when people show you their true colors, listen the first time. Don't keep people around for years who are not adding value to your centers. Be actively looking for a replacement and give that person specific goals for improvement by a certain date.
Here are times that turnover is a good thing for your center:
- A little turnover that can prevent a lot of turnover – If you are not actively replacing your poor performers, your high performers will be actively looking for new careers.
- Teachers are not bought in to your mission or core values – if you're teachers do not understand how they are making an impact in your big picture, or worse, if they don't care, it's better for them to move on before they 'poison the well' with other staff or parents.
- Employees are not representing your brand – if you have teachers who are not behaving professionally at work or in public, you should encourage them to find a better fit before you have no brand at all.
- Employees are not team players – even if he/she is an amazing teacher and does great with parents, or does not gel with the other staff, it might be time for them to move on. You've heard the saying "there is no I in team" it's true. If you have a great teacher who rubs other high performers the wrong way, you're asking for a cultural break down. There is likely something you are missing as an employer.
- Teachers who are disrespectful or undermining – You work really hard. You deserve for your people to treat you, each other, children, and parents respectfully. You have to model that and hold people accountable. Teach your people how to respond to situations appropriately. If they are blatantly disrespectful, listen to what they are saying and see if there is passion and/or truth. If not, you need to be looking for a replacement.
One of the most important parts of reducing the negativity around turnover is making sure you are upfront and transparent with your parents. Let them know what happens during the transition of a turnover, how is their child impacted, and what your plan is for replacement. Give your parents a say in who you hire next by asking for referrals and what qualities they appreciate in your employees. Inform you parents why a little turnover can keep a school progressive, growing, and happy.
Just to be very clear. I am saying a little turnover can be healthy, not a lot. Here are some things you can do to help prevent turnover with your high performers.
- Hire better employees from the beginning. Refine your hiring process to that you have selection criteria to get high performers "A players" in from the start.
- Take care of your employees. Sometimes the expense of providing snacks, lunches, professional development, higher wages is the best money you can spend. It is much cheaper than having to hire and train new employees consistently.
- Support your teachers. Come from a place of empathy. Instead of catching them doing things wrong to hold them accountable, catch them doing things right.
- Help them reach their goals. Human beings get serotonin from meeting goals. It's scientifically ingrained in us. Have your teachers set meaningful goals and tracked their progress?
- Get dirty. No one wants to work for someone who isn't willing to put boots on the ground when necessary. Show your staff you're not above doing dishes, making a coffee run, or teaching a class. This shouldn't be all the time or even 20% of the time, but it should occasionally happen.
At the end of the day you should take responsibility for your leadership and make sure that YOU are defining your brand and culture, then make sure that you are supporting your teachers to do so as well.

Real Estate Application Using Spatial Database
Real estate can be defined as rights and improvements to own or use land. Most of the real estate applications provide the features such as specification based searching, agent notification, adding property for sale, loan information, etc. According to some specifications, this paper presents a system which will have all the features of real estate application but using spatial databases, thus incorporating with it the flexibility and strength provided by the Spatial Databases. Whenever choosing or searching is done for a new house, the main focus is on the location. As location being a spatial entity the authors are using the advantages given by spatial databases for their application. The application provides the user to select any particular location and get related information appropriately.

The government will soon offload more of its shareholding in the cement industry to the public through the Nairobi stock exchange, in a bid to certify the requirements of the Capital Markets Authority.
Trade and Industry Minister Dr Mukhisa Kituyi says Lafarge company is working on a government proposal to reduce its shareholding in the sector.
The Minister at the same time Kituyi said, the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission has been mandated to investigate misappropriation of funds at the East Africa Portland Company by the previous management.
He said contrary to media reports, there was no witch-hunt in the decision to launch investigations into a 6- million shillings cement grant that former Managing Director Zakayo Ole Mapelu gave to the South Sudan government without the board's approval. Published under Cement News

Ezreal Build Guide by chump023
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Ezreal Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Ezreal is a great carry hero. He is the first carry type AP, unlike others, though have a high AP, but still cannot carry his team. Now, I'm gonna teach you Ezreal with BOTH ability power and attack damage type build.
First of all, you should apply Health quints, so that you can have advantage at early game, especially when you have an enemy Ezreal at the same lane, particularly the mid lane. Also, apply cooldown reduction, mana regen and armor penetration runes, for you to have a balanced Ezreal, with the ability to use spells as offense and have great attack damage as offense too.
For me, you should have masteries totalling 23/0/7. You must apply the crit (3) and AP per level (3), then apply CD reduction (4) then the magic penetration (1). Also, apply attack speed (4) and armor penetration (3). Apply also attack damage (3), then the final tree which is the 4% damage (1). For utility, you must apply the HP and Mana regen (4), then the death timer reduction (1) for you to advance at the mana increase (3).
Skill Sequence
First of all, you must have Mystic Shot, which is your primary nuke. It is very good for creep killing, harassing and champion kills. At level 2, I at least recommended to learn Arcane Shift, which has alot of important purposes like chasing or escaping from early ganks. Still, you should master your Mystic Shot early. I also recommend that you should only have a level 2 Arcane Shift, since its main purpose is for escaping or chasing only. More propably, you should learn now the Essence Flux, which is your second nuke. Of course, you must master your Trueshot Barrage at levels 6/11/16, since its main purpose is to kill champions or alot of minions, even if they are very far from you, since it has a global range.
Summoner Spells
You must have the Ignite-Exhaust spell tandem, since it is very useful for early kills. You don't need Flash anymore since you already have your Arcane Shift.

The South Side Soup Contest was created by the South Side Local Development Company in 2004 as way to showcase what the South Side retail and business community had to offer. From the beginning, the event proceeds supported the Brashear Association and the operation of its food pantry program. This year the event will benefit not only the Brashear Association, but the South Side Chamber of Commerce. The event is operated and organized by members of both organizations along with almost 100 volunteers from around the Pittsburgh community.
The Brashear Association
The Brashear Association supports and enriches the lives of many residents in the neighborhoods of South Pittsburgh, thereby helping to build strong families and communities. Among their services, the Brashear Association operates two community food pantries located in South Side and Arlington. The Brashear Association's food pantry provides food and other commodities to over 1,000 low-income individuals and families every week at its two pantry locations in South Side and Arlington. The average pantry order provides households with enough food for 10 meals per person. Since this time last year, the agency's pantries provided 72,000 meals, reallocating approximately $216,000 for families to use for other critical needs. The South Side Soup Contest provides over 1,200 items for its food pantry.
For more information or to make a donation to the Brashear Association, go to brashearassociation.org.
The South Side Chamber of Commerce
The South Side Chamber of Commerce is a community-based organization which represents the diverse interests of interconnected businesses, residents and other stakeholders in the South Side neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Its primary mission is to cultivate common vision, unity and business growth through member involvement in the community at large. The Chamber actively promotes the community's proud past, dynamic present and shared future through its ongoing community initiatives. The Chamber works as part of the common coalition which champions the East Carson Street historic business district and flats and slopes neighborhoods as it attracts and serves those who operate businesses here and those who live, work and enjoy the South Side.
The Chamber operates the South Side Welcome Center which is its headquarters, a VisitPittsburgh official information center for worldwide visitors, a community meeting place for businesses and residents, and a volunteer center for the South Side Chamber Clean Team. For more information about the South Side Chamber of Commerce, go to southsidechamber.org.

Hey everyone, I've got an interview with a really cool blogger today, Rachel Held Evans. I found Rachel's blog a few months ago and now I'm a huge fan of hers. She's not afraid to talk about tough subjects, speaks bluntly but graciously, and she's written a book that's coming out in July that I'm really excited about. In fact, Rachel is so cool, that she's letting me give away free copies of her book. Anyone who leaves a comment on this interview will be entered to win!
Here's Rachel:
Okay, Rachel, who are you anyway?
Well, I'm from Dayton, Tennessee, home of the famous Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925. As you may have noticed, my name forms a complete sentence, which I figured made me important enough to write a blog. I've lived in Dayton for about 16 years and am happily married to a Jersey transplant named Dan. I have a Southern accent that only surfaces when I'm really excited or really mad. I'm obsessed with college football, and if eating had no consequences, I'd eat a roll of refrigerated cookie dough every morning for breakfast. I try to follow Jesus Christ, but fail at it most of the time, which is why I am so thankful for God's grace.
Oh, and my fist book comes out with Zondervan later this summer. It's called "Evolving in Monkey Town: How a Girl Who Knew All the Answers Used to Ask the Questions."
There's lots of Christian stereotypes out there. If there was a Christian stereotype named after you, what would it conjure up in peoples' minds? What's a Rachel Held Evans Christian?
Wow. This is a really interesting question. I recently took a quiz entitled, "Are You a Christian Hipster?" and my numbers were off the charts, on account of my affinity for Sufjan Stevens, NT Wright, creation care, "authenticity," and calling myself a "follower of Christ" rather than a Christian. I'm pretty much your classic twenty-something searcher, who is cynical about church and hopeful about Jesus. I relate to a lot of what is being said in the emerging church circles, but (like a good Christian hipster) am wary of labels. I'm not special enough to create my own stereotype. I fit too nicely into existing ones.
Your blog says you're an author, speaker and blogger. How long have you been going on this career path? Do you call that your career? How did you get started?
In third grade I wrote a short story entitled "A Helping Wing" (a poignant morality tale about avian cooperation in the wake of Mrs. Robin's nesting disaster) and read it at my elementary school's talent show. It was a big hit, and later that year I dressed up as an author for career day, which of course sealed the deal. I've wanted to be a writer ever since. I majored in English Literature, worked for peanuts in a newsroom, tried the freelance thing, wrote book proposals, cried after getting rejected by several publishers, and did a little happy dance after getting accepted by Zondervan. So far it's been a great ride.
Wait…how do you dress as an author for career day? I dressed up as a scientist because I got to wear a lab coat. Don't authors just sit at their computers in their pajamas all day? Anyway…
What authors and bloggers do you look up to? Any bloggers you totally resent?
LoL! You must be referring to my classic, "On Resenting Anne Jackson" post. Unfortunately, my admiration for other writers tends to be accompanied by a twinge of jealousy, which is why I need the aforementioned grace of God so much. Off the top of my head I think of Anne Lamott, Donald Miller, Jon Acuff, Sara Miles, Jim Palmer, Shauna Niequist, Scot McKnight, Anne Jackson, and that Matt guy who writes "The Church of No People" (shameless kissing up). Then there's always the greats, like Flannery O'Conner and William Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson…but as far as I know, they don't have blogs.
Shameless kissing up is always acceptable. You are right to be jealous of me. Even I am jealous of me.
Is being an author / speaker / blogger as glamorous and fulfilling as you hoped it would be?
Nope. Career achievements are rarely as fulfilling as we expect them to be, but relationships are. And I've been really blessed by some of the relationships my writing has enabled me to build. I love meeting other people from around the country who know what it's like to struggle with doubt or fear or insecurity and who feel a strong connection with what I have to say. That is really encouraging and rewarding.
Tell us about Evolving in Monkey Town.
The book is a memoir about wrestling with religious doubt in the buckle of the Bible Belt. It's about how I overcame my own fundamentalism by learning to hold my beliefs with an open hand. It's also about how faith, like a living organism, has a remarkable ability to adapt to change in order to survive. I like to say that the book is about how my faith evolved, hence the title, "Evolving in Monkey Town."
What's your angle on doubt?
I believe that doubt can be both helpful and harmful. It can be helpful when it forces us to reexamine our beliefs about God with humility, openness, and a willingness to admit we don't have all the answers. It can be destructive when we use it as excuse to not obey, to avoid living as Jesus lived and loving as Jesus loved.
Now, I grew up in a culture that emphasized apologetics to such a degree that asking difficult questions about Christianity was looked down upon. I held so many beliefs to be fundamental that I left very little room in my faith for change. So when I started asking myself some tough questions about origins, the Bible, religious exclusivism, politics, the Problem of Evil, heaven and hell, I thought my entire faith was falling apart. But as it turns out, doubt played a really redemptive role in my life. It forced me to reconsider some of my assumptions and led me to learn some beautiful new things about Christ and his kingdom. I haven't figured everything out yet, and I still struggle with some serious doubts, but I'm convinced that the worst kind of doubt, the kind that leads to despair, does not begin when we start asking God questions but when out of fear we stop.
Who would you most like to go on a date with: Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, or the late Jerry Falwell?
If Jerry Falwell went to the trouble to rise from the grave just to have dinner with me, I figure I should take him up on it and hear him out.
Note to self: I think I just got the scoop of the year. Rachel Held Evans has it bad for undead Jerry Falwell. I'm taking this straight to The Enquirer. Now to find Jerry…
What does this generation of Christians have to offer the next generation?
There are a few things that I really hope our generation does differently, for the benefit of the next. First, I hope we choose to pledge our allegiance first and foremost to the Kingdom of God, not to any one political party or platform. Second, I hope we transcend the false dichotomy between faith and science and have the courage to start some tough conversations about how to embrace them both. Third, I hope we agree to call a truce and stop using the Bible as a weapon. Fourth, I hope we take a more loving posture toward the gay community. And finally, I hope we re-prioritize caring for "the least of these," the hungry, the sick, the poor, the imprisoned, the oppressed, the thirsty, and the homeless, both in our own neighborhoods and around the world.
That's Rachel. Be sure to check out her blog, pre-order the book, and comment here about doubt, monkeys, or anything else to enter for a chance to win a free copy!


text: Although I don't know very much about the New Hampshire Association for the Blind, the fact that it is in the capable and compassionate hands of George Theriault is an endorsement beyond compare. I have known George for over sixty years, and I can truly say that I know of no more kind, caring, and good-hearted person on this planet. That George has chosen to dedicate his efforts to the New Hampshire Association of the Blind speaks volumes about the worth of that most fortunate organization.
