So yes bako... that is one possibility...
Personally my understanding and use of CST, along with everything else... is from composing and arranging...
It's obviously not needed... but CST is derived from jazz common practice harmony from the 60's on.
I don't see any difference between melodic and harmonic.... I can make choices and use a specific harmonic or melodic musical organization for guideline that control the function and choices of complete note collections for every note in a horizontal space...
A tune, a section of a tune... a phrase etc... what ever I choose. CST is just another possible organization for making and organizing those choices. ( Besides maj/min functional harmony...Ionian). I use modes and modal functional guidelines, I use melodic minor and it's functional guidelines and I also use Blue Notes and their possible functional influence on any of the above.
I mean...it's not like I don't use everything together all the time... When you play a tune or arrange etc... CST is just a collection of basic harmonic and melodic possibilities that are from existing jazz common practice.
Most seem to understand and use subs... relative and parallel relationships.... How do you harmonically frame Blue notes.
If you expand the concept of Blue Notes... ... ahh... Most think of improve as embellishing melodic, harmonic and rhythmic ideas etc... think of embellishing aspects of theory, or harmony etc...
When you embellish while soloing or comping... do you have organization... or do you repeat memorized lines and chord patterns... I'm stretching it but... theory and existing functional harmony are also embellishable... just like using subs or related harmony...it's a new result by way of expanding the existing subject with organization.
Just think of CST as possible harmonic and melodic relationships... that expand traditional chord patterns and melodic figures that use chord tones... with organization. Possible references... that imply other possible choices...that are related and from jazz common practice... beyond triad and 7th chord organization...
Yes not all jazz... but the last 60 years.
Back to real world... if you don't have technique... and good ears.... put your time into those aspects of playing.
It often feels like words aren't good enough to describe music. Go figure
Wiki had three definitions of "diatonic".
Apparently, no two people agree on exactly what "function harmony" encompasses. Apparently, we can agree on G7 going to Cmaj, but after that, it seems to get more contentious.
Thanks to Bako for the explanation of modal progressions, as referred to in the phrase "modal progressional language into the starting reference music?". I still don't understand the phrase as a whole. It seems like a Berklee education is necessary to fully understand this sort of language.
Somebody brought up Feynman earlier. He was an extraordinarily plain spoken man (this is intended as a high compliment). I think it stemmed partly from his personality and partly because he understood the material so well. He was a percussionist. Too bad. If he'd played a chord instrument we might have the Feynman lectures on music.

portray whatever is unique to that mode.
starting reference music = the basic song however we conceive it
Again my apologies, sometimes I talk funny. I'm from the Bronx but they bare no blame.

Forgive me for seeming dense. I'm from Brooklyn.
Joe Henderson was a Barry Harris student of course ;-)
Not sure how he came up with that tune though lol
I'm thinking that without a thorough exploration of the 60s music (for me) it's hard to be specific about the development of modal playing and how it evolved into CST.
Time to hit the Wayne tunes......

So anyway it seems that most don't get music concepts from theory etc... point of view, (reference)... so for the thick side of Brooklyn ....
Take Blue Bossa... Kenny Dorham... but almost feels as though Joe composed.....
So kennys version used basic functional harmony, right. Key of Cmin.(Ebmaj)..// I / IV-7 / II-7b5 V7 /... Then either modulate, call Eb-7 Ab7 a II V of IVmaj,(Abmaj7) or use Relative Diatonic 3rd relative and parallel relationships / then II-7b5 V7 I. All pretty maj/min functional organization.
So using modal CST possibilities... I can also call C-... a Imin7 chord.... but Dorian... not aeolian. Choosing Dorian creates a different collection of Diatonic chords to work with... and when one actually play music in a jazz style.... all the relationships... subs, chord patterns etc... can also change....
For those of you who need more... take the Cmin7 and makeup chord vamps... Chord Patterns that reflect (harmonically Imply) the C-7 as a I chord.... here are two standard vamps...
1) // C-7 C-6 (or F7) / D-7 G7b13#9 // this chord patterns implies Cmin as tonal Target... the I chord as DORIAN (use of CST)
2) // C-7 Abmaj7 / D-7b5 G7b9 // this chord pattern implies Cmin as tonal target... the I chord as AEOLIAN. Maj/Min Functional Harmony... Ionian with embellishments etc...
Just a note... most don't play the chords that vanilla etc... the bVI chord usually becomes dominant.
So take the next step... play a latin Montuno to reflect the two examples.
So each example uses a different choice for harmonically organizing the Tonal target of Cmin.
I get it.... you can also just change the notes etc... but that is very different... and musicians can hear and understand the difference...
The further one expands a REFERENCE... creating extended RELATIONSJHIPS with that TONAL TARGET of Cmin... the more the MUSICAL ORGANIZATION that controls your expanding .... improvisation changes.
The simple example using the above tune.... The basic difference in vamps is the Diatonic VI or bVI root chord... When I actually play those examples... I don't just play The VI or bVI chord... I IMPLY that chord by calling it a TONAL TARGET... and there is a big difference between implying G7 or Gb7...musically which gets back to the use of CST choices for original Cmin as I chord.
So if I continue in the same way... changing the Harmonic organization of My I chord... I could have more different results.
****This is where most of you come in.... You start with pitch collections, SCALES choices that are given for Chords in different Harmonic examples.... Chord progression, chord Patterns... Tunes.
So the scales are the results from using Modal Interchange, (Borrowing)...to create possible Functional labeling of chords.... The Scales are just horizontal versions of complete chords.
So who cares now right... the modal application is just ONE possibility... You can expand the harmonic organization... with use of Blue Notes Melodic Minor, Harmonic Maj.... whatever one chooses and can pull it off.
So with composition and arranging... it's pretty easy, slow stop time, etc... but when performing... you know at the speed of Jazz.... you need to have all the possibilities internalized,(memorization approach) or understand the concepts and apply LIVE etc... Obviously using both approaches works best.
Please don't take comments personal... rp... and Brooklyn etc... We're suppose to enjoy music ... right

It's a I type in the key of Eb, which makes it interchangeable with Ebmaj7 Gm7 and Bbmaj7#11.
Because in Warren's system vim is either I or II type, it could also be considered interchangeable with Fm7 and Abmaj7. The issue is mainly, do you want an A or an Ab?
It's a II type in Bb, where it's interchangeable with Ebmaj7 and Gm7.
It is also a I type in Ab, making it interchangeable with Abmaj7, Ebmaj7 and Fm7.
It can also emerge from MM or HM minor harmony and other places. In MM harmony it would be interchangeable with every chord generated, for example, by the C MM scale, per Mark Levine's theory of no avoid note in MM. So, Dsusb9, Ebmaj7#5 etc.
Which gets a little complicated. Not that complicated is bad. If you can get all that in your mind and under your fingers, that's great. We've all heard Reg play. But, Andres Varady sounds great and knows none of this, except if he knows it by sound.
What can simplify it, perhaps, it is the usual thing about minor chords, which is they're all the same except for how they handle the b2, 6s and 7s. So, in Blue Bossa the root is C. Do you want to hear a Db? And, among Ab A Bb and B, which do you want?
It strikes me that Reg's approach is better organized than just thinking about all the individual note choices. Perhaps that might tend to make a solo more cohesive if you had practiced things the way his system seems to imply. OTOH, you'd also have to be careful that it's all internalized by sound or it could be constricting.

Also Barry is 8 years older than Joe, I am not sure how they would be classmates.
By the way Barry mentions giving lessons to Joe in this interview:
Barry Harris: Teacher Man - JazzTimes
yea... barry always seem to be his way or the highway. I've met and performed with Joe henderson, know many old working jazz musicians who have old dirt etc... but Henderson' arranging and compostions... tend to be very different from BH... at least after his bebop days.
I obviously don't like the BH approach or his teaching style and concepts... I do respect and appreciate his contributions... it's just a personal choice... I do like Joe Henderson's approach. Joe was also a pianist... .. remember the Joe Henderson and Jonny Griffin gigs... late 80's...
This thread deserves this.

Even less respect for that.

A scale really is just the chord tones with the relative passing tones filled in.
How to play scales in a way to sound melodic (per Barry)
Practice descending from the 7th of a C major scale to the tonic for bar 1
and practice descending from the 7th of a G7 scale to its root for bar 2
Absolutely, it's not about trying to follow some rigid set of rules.
I mean, at the very beginning of, say, maths we have to learn our numbers. Then maybe the multiplication tables, etc etc. All that's pretty mechanical, like learning to write and spell words. There's nothing wrong with learning the basics in a structured way; it helps it stick.
But after that the magic starts... Creativity and technique are different. Technique without creativity is rather pointless. And one never stops learning, of course.

Chord-scale "theory" is a way of describing various choices of non-chord tones that can be used over a chord in various contexts. Of course chord tones will always work. They are being played anyway.
It's not a theory as it doesn't propose specific rules for making these choices. Choices of non-chord tones are stylistic and subjective.
So what's the use for chord-scales? If you have a particular set of choices in mind, you can use chord-scales to describe these choices. That's all. There are of course other ways to talk about the choices of non-chord tones. Chord-scales are just one approach.

The definition about is my own personal interpretation. If there is an non-controversial literature that defines chord-scale theory differently, please post. I'd be happy to read it.

In other words, when we electric guitarists "evolve" from playing blues and pentatonic stuff on pop, rock, and blues music to something more "progressive", we say - "hey man, what scale do I need to use for my doodle-farty solo when I encounter this chord?"
So we lay CST down in the same grease as our doodle farty approach to improvisation, then declare for ourselves that CST is defined as doodle farting with scales.
Not so.
Sorry! Something went wrong!

If you're in a scholarly mood, why not read it and find out what it is, as opposed to speculate as to what you think it is?

Again - CST is a description of jazz harmony, and "copes with" complex chords and their use in both static tonal and highly modulating contexts. In other words, it helps one competently understand and create jazz music, not classical music. It doesn't tell an instrumentalist how to build phrases and motifs. Those topics are more fully addressed in composition, arranging and improv studies.
Have a good one.

CST is one theoretical device, it's not itself a theory. One can completely avoid CST still be able communicate the exact the content of the book.
FYI I'm not anti-CST. Over the years I warmed up to CST as a practical theoretical tool. Probably because I think I get it better now and that book has a lot to do with it.

The confusion is, people think of it as an aspect of jazz harmony. As if, they'll be missing out of some parts of the jazz harmony if they don't understand CST. In my view that's not true at least to the extend that Berklee's own jazz harmony book covers it. But again, I'll be happy to read an alternative view if it's worth paying attention to.
Well I can't fully agee with your last two posts Tal.
When I say that, I am considering; (1) Nettles' own explanation for what CST is and how it differs from traditional harmony and analysis. (the authors of The Berklee Book of Jazz Harmony touch very lightly on "CST", as so named), and (2) the definition of "harmony" itself, and the extent of its implications. Is harmony just chord symbols and progressions?
It's probably most productive to avoid the term CST altogether and just study Jazz Harmony, Improvisation, Arranging, and Composition.

It's not an either or situation nor an ideology (theory). It's a broad stroke description, and it's subjective. It's looking at the forest rather than the trees. It simply describes a pool of notes that commonly fit over a particular chord quality. It's basics. I can't understand not wanting to be aware of it, nor arguing against being aware of it. It just is a fact of jazz being described. It's basics. It obviously is not giving advanced tips on melodic embellishment description or in other words about how to really make good melodies. It's just a crude road map to each chord's "pool of notes". Perhaps it's most useful on the piano where the scales are so much more logically visible and harmonically laid out in their piano black and white piano key geometry, far more so than on a guitar neck.
Originally Posted by rintincop
I think it's basics too, and while not super deep when you look at the scale to chord matching in isolation, it still meets the standard for a theory, based on a dictionary definition of the term.
For example, there are options for scale choices in many cases, and there is a distinct approach beyond what one finds in traditional theory/harmony treatises.
One could call it a rule set, an approach, a map, a decoder ring or whatever the heck else they want to call it. Or, they could call it a theory. Again - it has answers and options for answers - for different scenarios.
Sorry if I will offend someone, but in general, people bashing CST either are trying to sell something, or can not play (or both).
Matching scales to changes is the way I was taught and many others also. Unless you have incredible ears to actually play through changes without knowing scales it's the best approach. And even if you had incredible ears you would probably end up with the same thing.
To me the goal is to start with the theory then with time and experience incorporate your ears and extrapolate on the basics.

Tonic Chords: CMaj7 E-7 A-7 INTERCHANGEABLE because: CMaj7 C E G B (6/13, R, 3, 5 of the III chord. 3,5,7,9 of the VI chord) E-7 E G B D (3,5,7,9 of the I chord. 5,7,9,11 of the VI chord.) A-7 A C E G (6/13, R, 3, 5 of the I chord. 11, 6/13, R, 3 of the III chord.)
Sub Dominant Chords: D-7 & FMaj7 D-7 D,F,A,C (6/13, R,3,5 of the IV chord) FMaj7 F A C E (3,5,7,9 of the II chord.)
Dominant Chords: G7 & B-7b5 G7 G B D F (6/13 of the VII chord) B-7b5 B D F A (3,5,7,9 of the V chord)
Later, most discover things like playing the IV over the I gives you the 11, 6/13, R, 3 of the I chord and so on. There's more to this subject.
For some, thinking of everything as chords instead of "what mode goes with which chord" makes things easier to digest. Both systems have their merits and both are rooted in the same harmony when analyzed. Just my 2 cents.

What are all the chord scales that we can think of for secondary dominants?
What chord scale(s) can you think of for V7 or V9? Dick Grove listed 3.
What about a dominant 7 chord with a b5? Dick Grove listed 3.
What about a dominant 13 chord with a #11? Dick Grove listed 2.
What about V7(b9)? Is it 5 possibilities, or is it 4?
What about?:
V+7 (b9)
V+7 (b9, #11)
V7 (#9, b13)
And how many answers and explanations do traditional harmony texts provide for the above?
Take the path of least resistance.
If a V7 goes to I - available tensions b9, #9, b5, b13 - play the Jazz Minor scale up a half step. Scale = b9,#9,3,b5,b13,7,1,b9
If a V7 doesn't resolve down a 5th (to I) - available tensions 9,#11, 13 - play the Jazz Minor scale from the 5th. Scale = 5,13,7,1,9,3,#11,5
You'll end-up covering everything and it doesn't require much thought.
I notice that you have confined yourself to diatonic scales. And that's just fine.
So maybe John Mehegen didn't invent it after all. Maybe it wasn't Nettles, or Gary Burton, or Jerry Coker, or David Baker either. Maybe it's up to the individual.
Congratulations on defining your Chord Scale Theory.
Jazz minor scale chronologically? Meaning the origin of the scale? I'm confused lol.
As in, when did jazz started using the jazz minor as a teaching/conceptual device especially with respect to using it dominant chords?
Obviously the classical melodic minor descends differently. Bach uses the ascending form in descending runs a fair bit... But not like D melodic minor on G7, for instance. Usually he uses C minor...
I've tracked it down to Lennie Tristano, late 40s. If anyone's interested. There's probably some Tristano school guys about somewhere who I'd like to hear from.... but John Klopotowski's book is worth a look if you want to know how these melodic minor scales were taught by Warne Marsh (hey it's a great book to look at anyway), which is presumably similar... It's similar to the modern formulation in some ways, but also a bit different in others.
Basically, I reckon the modern jazz education paradigm is largely of Lennie's making, directly or indirectly. In the UK that might be even more so because the Jazz course at Leeds College of Music was I think part set up by Peter Ind (the wonderful Dave Cliff was one of the first alumni IIRC)... But in general he casts a long shadow everywhere, because his approach was quite 'scientific'/positivist (in the educational sense) and easy to quantify; so therefore useful for both creating a syllabus but equally as importantly justifying its academic value.
My suspicion is CST actually owes more to him than it does to George Russell or Mehegan, but there's probably a PhD in that lol....

Galatians 5: 14 (NIV)
For the entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
While differences of opinion are normal among any group of people, we must not let our differences escalate into strife. We should be able to voice our differences, yet respect one another and give each other freedom to learn and grow, even through mistakes. We are walking together on this journey of faith, so love must rule in our hearts. Does bitterness find quick root in your heart? Don't waste your time and energy bickering over petty differences. Guard your heart. Serve one another in love.

Jacqueline Fernandez is prepping up for the big release of 'The Gentleman' and how! The picture of her kissing Sidharth Malhotra did the rounds earlier this week along with the trailer and it left us wanting more, to say the least!
Trailer coming up on Monday, 12 noon! 🕛 Action, love, thrill, comedy – all packed in one helluva unit!! #AGentlemanSundarSusheelRisky @s1dofficial @foxstarhindi
And now, Jacqueline has delivered a new video on Instagram of her mastering the art of…pole dancing! We didn't think anything could be so sizzling, classy and sexy at the same time but Jacqueline has proved us wrong! Her instructor, Roksolana Chubenko, also reposted the video as a proud teacher!
Those moves are certainly something to take inspiration from. Don't believe us? Watch it now to see exactly what we are talking about!
However, this is not the last we will see of Jacqueline's pole dancing skills. If the little glimpse of her pole dancing in the new trailer is anything to go by, there is something bigger and better in store. And we absolutely can't wait for it! You go, girl!

Treasure Rating
The Taoist sages who developed Chinese tonic herbalism said that a human being is composed of three "Treasures." The "Three Treasures" are called Jing, Qi and Shen.
Jing – the wax and wick of a candle – is the first Treasure and is translated as "Essence." Jing is the primal energy of life and is closely associated with our genetic potential and is associated with the aging process.
Qi – the flame – is the second Treasure, and in the Three Treasures system includes both Energy and blood. This is the aspect of our life that involves action and thought.
Shen – the light being given off by a candle – is the third Treasure. Shen is our Spirit. This is ultimately the most important of the Three Treasures because it is the basis of our higher nature as human beings.

"Kathleen is the consummate real estate professional. In fact, when we started out to meet with three realtors, Kathleen's prep and presentation were so extensive and she had already put so much research and planning into selling our home that she earned a 10 out of 10 at first meeting! And even though she sold our Foster City home in a 'hot' market, her expertise was still essential in making sure we planned and strategized for the myriad of things to go smoothly. Kathleen is super knowledgeable, focused and extremely hard working, from the big picture strategy to the hands on help in actually packing stuff up and doing donation runs to the library and Goodwilll!! Our prep, houses, and entire selling process was smooth; not from luck, or the great buyers market, but from the of the entire process by a top-notch professional; 100% focused on getting the job done and done right!! And whenever something needed to be done Kathleen had just the right contractor or service to call and with her full database of great vendor relationships the service was always done promptly and cost effectively. We've bought and sold several homes and were always disappointed in at least one or two key aspects of the performance of our past realtors, but with Kathleen, all was smooth and we would work with her again in a heartbeat!"
"We would like to submit this letter in thanks for the work Kathleen Areias Sparer did to complete the sale of our condominium in Foster City. Kathleen's efforts, and attention to detail were invaluable in not only the sale, but especially in the preparation and presentation of our unit! Every case is different, so please indulge me in a little background; Alex and I bought the property some 22 years ago. As we never intended to stay as long as we did, very little (if any) effort was made to remodeling, so when an opportunity arose, we found ourselves with a tidy, but very dated condo. However, we needed to be in another part of the state in only a few weeks' time! On a whim, I asked our flooring contractor (and neighbor) if he might suggest a realtor. Fortunately for us, he recommended Kathleen! Kathleen went well beyond what I would expect of any realtor, coordinating with decorators, painters and craftsmen to complete the remodel of our home. She made herself available for not only questions, but to make the unit available to contractors and deliveries, saving me huge amounts of travel and time! She kept us informed of every step of the proceedings, so that we felt very comfortable leaving what amounted to the entire project in her hands. Because of Kathleen, I was able to concentrate on getting settled in a new city, without having to worry about leaving the old one. We cannot thank Kathleen enough for all the work she put in, and would not hesitate for an instant to recommend her highly to anyone looking for a capable, thorough, and detail oriented broker. We were lucky to have her!"

Fresh tomatoes, cilantro and onion – pico de gallo is so easy to make at home! This fresh Mexican restaurant favourite is a healthy and flavourful condiment your whole family will love.
I have a bit of an obsession with pico de gallo, and I think I'm not alone because I can never make a batch of this stuff big enough to satisfy the needs of my family. I'm not lying, my daughter will eat this straight out of the jar. As a snack.
Why is it called pico de gallo?
In Spanish, pico de gallo translates to 'roosters beak'.
There are a few different theories about how this salsa got it's name. An American food writer, Sharon Tyler Herbst suggested that it was named this becasue people used to eat it by pinching the pieces between their thumb and forefinger making the shape of a roosters beak. Rick Bayless (an American chef who specializes in Mexican cuisine) believes that it is due to the salsas bird feed like consistency.
Whatever the origin is I think it's a fun name for this salsa!
What is the difference between salsa and pico de gallo?
Technically pico de gallo IS a salsa, but it is a salsa fresca – a fresh salsa. The salsa that most people are referring to when we think of the word is cooked and has a thinner and more watery consistency and resembles more of a sauce.
How to make pico de gallo
First, you want to start with a tomato with more flesh than seeds because we are going to remove the seeds and use only the flesh of the tomato in this salsa. The best tomato for the job is a Roma tomato.
To remove the seeds I slice off the top of the tomato and then use the handle of a spoon or fork to pull out the seeds before I slice the tomato and then dice it.
Once you've handled the tomatoes dice up the rest of the ingredients and mix it all together in a bowl.
I haven't added any spicy peppers to this recipe to keep it family friendly, but if you would like to spice it up you can also add some diced jalapeno or serrano peppers.
How long does it last?
I SUSPECT that pico de gallo would keep well in your fridge for up to 5 days but in our house it's hard to keep it past two! Just be sure to use an air tight container for the best freshness.
Although other salsas can be frozen, because this one is fresh I wouldn't suggest freezing it as it would ruin the texture.
What should I eat pico do gallo with?
It's great with just about anything! I love it as a snack with some crispy tortilla chips and it is an excellent condiment for any Mexican inspired meal.
Try it with our Mexican inspired meals!

The Southern looks ahead to 2018 season
The Southern Theater announced its 2018 season in late September, and on Monday evening, five artistic companies gave us glimpses into what they will bring to the stage beneath the stone arch.
Katie Kimball did an elegant dance on a trapeze for SunsetGun Productions and Twin Cities Trapeze Center. For The Catalysts, cancer survivor Max Wojtanowicz revisited his Fringe hit "Ball: A Musical Tribute to My Lost Testicle." Sumunar Indonesian Music and Dance dazzled with music and movement. Daara Dance Company performed a complex, energetic selection from "The Journey of Dust," a work by founder and artistic director Michel Kouakou. And dancer/choreographer Vie Boheme was as riveting at the Southern as she was in the New Griots Festival at the Guthrie in July.
From January to December, 26 companies will present dance, theater, film, performance art, music and more at the Southern. New this year, applications were curated by a panel of four artistic directors: performer, writer, filmmaker and curator Shá Cage; theater maker, director and educator Jon Ferguson; musician, performer and spoken word artist Joe Horton; and dancer/choreographer Kaleena Miller. A group of community members was invited to review and score the applications, based on their interest and relevance to the community, including the West Bank neighborhood.
The ARTshare program will continue. For $18/month, members can see as many shows as they want. Single tickets will go on sale later this year.
Looking back, briefly: The Southern, a gem of a historic theater that opened its doors in 1920, almost went under in 2011 during a financial crisis. Damon Runnals stayed on as the only staff member and ran the Southern as a rental facility. He cleaned up much of the financial mess and came up with ARTshare, which began in January 2015. Runnals stepped down in late 2016, and Jamie Schumacher moved up from development director to interim executive director. The Southern is looking to hire an executive director.
The picks
Tonight (Wednesday, Oct. 11) at the U's West Bank Arts Quarter: Arts Quarter Festival. An evening of visual art, dance, music, and theater spotlighting University of Minnesota students and faculty. See performances by U of M/Guthrie BFA students, check out a printmaking exhibit and demo, try wheel throwing with the Ceramics Collective, visit photography and art exhibits and enjoy live music from the Minnesota Marching Band Brass Quintet, classical musicians and rock bands. At 21st Ave. S. and 4th St. S. 6-9 p.m. FMI. Free. The Dean Sorenson Sextet, a fine group of jazz musicians, will perform at 8:15 in the Lloyd Ultan Recital Hall.
Thursday and Friday at the Walker: Salva Sanchis and Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker / Rosas "A Love Supreme." John Coltrane's musical masterpiece intertwines faith, art, and spiritual ecstasy. Many artists have found inspiration in this powerful work and have taken it on. (One of our all-time favorite Walker concerts was the Campbell Brothers' sacred steel performance on slide guitars in Feb. 2015.) We can't wait to see what Belgian dance master De Keersmaeker and Spanish-born choreographer Sanchis have done with it. Each of the four male dancers represents a musical instrument in saxophonist Coltrane's original quartet with pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones. 8 p.m. FMI and tickets ($25/20 Walker members).
Opens Friday at Steppingstone Theatre: "Goosebumps the Musical: Phantom of the Auditorium." The "Goosebumps" series by R.L. Stine has sold more than 400 million copies, so chances are the kids you know are familiar with it. Dane Stauffer directs a cast of young actors in an only slightly spooky tale of Brooke and Zeke, who are excited to star in their school's next musical – until mysterious events start happening in the theater. The musical had its world premiere in Oregon just last year, so it's almost brand new. 90 minutes with one intermission. Grades 2 and up. 7 p.m. FMI and tickets ($12/$16; pay-as-able on Oct. 15). Through Oct. 29, with many matinees.
Friday at the Trylon-no-longer-micro-Cinema: Friday the 13th All-Night Marathon. The new Trylon holds twice as many people as the old, for twice as many screams. Starting Friday at 6 p.m., ending Saturday at 8 a.m., you can see the first eight Friday the 13th films. Fourteen hours, with intermissions. Doomed, you're all doomed! Ari Lehman, the "first Jason," will stop by courtesy of the Twin Cities Zombie Film Crawl. 6 p.m.-8 a.m. FMI, trailers and tickets ($40).
Sunday at the Dakota: Joey Alexander Trio. Now 14 years old, Bali-born Alexander made his U.S. debut with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra led by Wynton Marsalis, where his solo version of Thelonious Monk's "'Round Midnight" blew people away. He has since released two chart-topping albums, earned three Grammy nods, been profiled for "60 Minutes" and performed at the Obama White House, clubs and festivals including the 2016 Twin Cities Jazz Festival. He's touring behind his third album, "Joey. Monk. Live!" and that's what he'll play at the Dakota. Joey's just a kid, but he plays like an old jazz soul. 6 and 8 p.m. FMI and tickets ($35-50); 612-332-5299.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — March 6, 2018
Cybersecurity breach insurers now have a better way to measure and manage risk across insureds, portfolios and industries. Silicon Valley analytics firm FICO today announced that the FICO® Enterprise Security Score is the first cybersecurity rating to include powerful risk assessment and modeling capabilities to help insurers make better underwriting, pricing and portfolio decisions, and meet profitability targets for their cyber book of business.
More information: http://www.fico.com/en/products/fico-enterprise-security-score
With the insurance dashboard, underwriters can embed individualized risk assessment for each policy in their portfolio analysis, including dependency/vendor risks, giving the underwriter the greatest flexibility in modelling various risk scenarios. Using the dashboard, underwriters can:
"This is a big step forward for cybersecurity insurance, which is one of the newer forms of business insurance," said Doug Clare, who oversees cybersecurity solutions at FICO. "Just as lenders use the FICO Score to understand risk at the consumer and portfolio level, the FICO Enterprise Security Score shows insurers risk across their cybersecurity book, based on a very detailed, policy-level risk assessment. We're seeing a lot of interest from insurers in using these powerful tools."
The FICO® Enterprise Security Score performs a complex assessment of an organization's network assets, applies advanced predictive algorithms, and then condenses the results down to a three-digit score that rank-orders based on the odds of breach for the organization. Companies can use this score to understand and track their own performance, or evaluate the security risk of their vendors and other business partners. FICO's score is the first in the industry to quantify the risks introduced by 4th parties — a partner or vendor's vendors. FICO was part of a consortium of industry leaders that developed new guiding principles for cybersecurity ratings.

FICO (NYSE: FICO) powers decisions that help people and businesses around the world prosper. Founded in 1956 and based in Silicon Valley, the company is a pioneer in the use of predictive analytics and data science to improve operational decisions.

Proclamation Issued
Marion County Commissioners issued a proclamation on January 2 supporting the 200th Anniversary of the founding of Marion County and all of the Bicentennial activities and celebrations planned throughout 2020. Pictured are steering committee members with county commissioners: Ellen Messenger, Commissioner Andy Appelfeller, Randy Winland, Commissioner Kerr Murray, Mark Holbrook, and Commissioner Ken Stiverson. Additional steering committee members include: Sherry Hall, Shannon Morris, Brandi Wilson, Vicky Branson, Tara Dyer, Brett McCrery and Mike Brewer.
Historic Notes
The area that is now Marion County has been part of seven different counties beginning in 1788: Washington, Hamilton, Wayne, Ross, Franklin, Delaware, and Marion. Marion County was created by the Ohio Legislature in 1820. Its boundary was changed in 1845 when land was transferred from several of the northern townships to Wyandot County as part of its formation. In 1848, five townships in Marion County were switched to Morrow and Wyandot Counties with the areas that are now Prospect and Waldo townships changed from Delaware County to Marion County.
Among the early visitors and later inhabitants of what is now Marion County were American Indians who passed through the area on a series of trails originally created by wildlife such as bison, deer, and elk. These trails were first utilized by the Indians for access to hunting and foraging as well as travel between settlements and to trading areas. Among the trails were the Scioto, Owl Creek, Moccasin, Pluggy, Tymochtee, and Winnemac. Many of these eventually evolved into highways that are still in use today.
Artist's concept drawing of Wyatt's Tavern and Fort Morrow, one of the first recorded locations in what is now Marion County.
One of the first recorded locations in what is now Marion County was once the site of a tavern and also a fort. Nathaniel Brundige and Nathaniel Wyatt, along with their families, arrived in Marlboro Township in Delaware County in 1806. In 1809, Wyatt built a tavern on an old settler's road below the Greenville Treaty Line near the Olentangy River north and east of what is today the crossroads of Norton. Soldiers under the command of Captain Taylor built a fort around the tavern for use as a depot for supplies and then traveling north. It was named it Fort Morrow in honor of Jeremiah Morrow, Ohio's Governor at the time.
The historical marker at the site of Jacob's Well on Delaware Avenue in Marion.
Troops during the War of 1812 passed through what would one day become Marion City and County on a "military road" that ran from Lake Erie to the Greenville Treaty Line. The road had been created by a treaty with the American Indians. One of the first sites in Marion County to appear on early maps was the result of the efforts of a surveyor named Jacob Foos who was passing through what is now the area adjoining Marion Towers on Delaware Avenue. Foos camped in the area and dug a "well" to find a source of fresh water. The site eventually became known as "Jacob's Well" and was a stopping point for troops passing through the area.

Effective April 1, 2009, Chapter DHS 83, Wisconsin Administrative Code for Community-Based Residential Facilities, was revised. Among the changes are requirements for both instructors and students of the four department-approved training topics (standard precautions, first aid and choking, fire safety, and medication administration), outlined in DHS 83.20. The requirements created standardized curriculum, an approval process for instructors, and a registry to track completion of the classes. In addition, an administrator course and train-the-trainer courses were developed. Since that time, several other types of community settings, that are regulated by DHS are using this training to meet the state-mandated training requirements. Employees are encouraged to check the administrative code or with the provider they are working for to see what training is required.

[News]MBLAQ's REAL personality!
What are the five guys like in real life?
As I give them a pen and paper and ask them to write about the other four members' real personality, laughter bursts out here and there – "Hehehe".
"You have to write really honestly and well."
Leader Seungho gently threatens the other members to write about him nicely. However, Seungho's request is instantly thrown into the air and broken into pieces. And without a moment's hesitation, the members' exposés began.
"Joonie, you really need to wash.", "What, so we're really going to go all out like this?"
The members' pleasant back and forth of attack and defence started. The following is a summary of the members' words from pen and mouth, a refreshingly honest view of MBLAQ from MBLAQ.
Seungho, "All-round man" but "dark circles"…
Seungho gets called "Docile daddy" by the others members. He is good at fixing machines, and can fix any problem related to electricity, so he is called the "All-round man". When a problem arises, he immediately rises up as spokesman and doesn't hesitate as an "honourable man". He really seems like a typical gruff blood-type B guy, but when the conversation starts he can turn into a "chatty guy". Also, his nerves can get sharpened [i.e. gets annoyed easily] when he can't eat at the right times. He is really alike to his mentor Rain.
However, he also has abundant sensitivity. His piano playing skills are also at a high level. He can also perform card tricks. But Mir is slightly worried about Seungho's dark circles. "I hope they don't get any bigger…"
G.O, "Hair-glass"? In reality is a "spotless guy"
He is the deputy of the group. His nickname "Hair-glass" comes from a combination of his beard (털[teol]=hair) and his trademark sunglasses. Despite his serious appearance, he is a skillful talker. His outer appearance is very manly but his insides are more sensitive than most and he is very considerate of others. He has experience of cooking for himself so his cooking skills are quite good. But his "tidy-disease" is tear-inducing for other members.
"He takes one hour to shower. So the people after him fall asleep waiting. He is a guy that loves his own skin." (Lee Joon)
Lee Joon, the truth about "Fourth dimension" and "Dirty guy"?
On stage, he is the member who most resembles Rain. However, he is MBLAQ's official "fourth dimension" [fourth dimension= somewhat eccentric]. From head to toe. Sometimes he comes out with absurd comments like "In the depths of the water there live squid the size of the 63 Building".
Further, the members have picked him as the "person who washes the least". It is the opposite of his clean image.
"We wish he would wash a bit." (Mir, G.O)
But his body is top grade. But he is addicted to exercising. His hobby is exercising in the early morning.
Cheondung, "Sweet guy" but "terrible" at gags
Out of MBLAQ, he is the unique "good-looking young guy". His nickname is "DoongDoong", from his name. He is very nice and beautiful, but has a bit of "Prince Syndrome" [=a bit up himself]. He wears unbearably cute pyjamas at their house. He is also the odd one out in everything.
The most serious problem is his gag skills. His humour is really no good.
"I would like him to develop his gag/comedic skills." (Mir)
Mir, "Atmosphere maker" but also "mischief maker"
The team's youngest is the "atmosphere maker". He occasionally hears that he looks like FT Island's Lee Hongki. He also has the nickname "Chucky" that Cheondung made up for him. The reason is because they look alike. His gag skills are excellent but he can also be the "mischief maker". In the team, he and Lee Joon are the unmatched masters of not washing.
"He is very satisfied about showing people his dirty/unclean side." (Lee Joon)

James Grimmelmann: Publications. Open Company. Lessons From Converting To A No-Management Company. A growing number of tech companies like GitHub, Medium, and Zappos have adopted "open allocation" management structures that (mostly) eliminate bosses.
But what happens when you go from management to no-management in the same week? To answer that question, you have to dive into the world of open allocation company structures. Far from being free-for-alls, the non-structure-structure that underpins these companies can vary based on philosophy. One hugely popular version of open allocation is Holacracy, in which decision-making power is distributed across small, autonomous teams rather than one central management group.

In June 2011, Julian Assange received an unusual visitor: the chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt, arrived from America at Ellingham Hall, the country residence in Norfolk, England where Assange was living under house arrest.
For several hours the besieged leader of the world's most famous insurgent publishing organization and the billionaire head of the world's largest information empire locked horns. The two men debated the political problems faced by society, and the technological solutions engendered by the global network—from the Arab Spring to Bitcoin. They outlined radically opposing perspectives: for Assange, the liberating power of the Internet is based on its freedom and statelessness. For Schmidt, emancipation is at one with US foreign policy objectives and is driven by connecting non-Western countries to American companies and markets. These differences embodied a tug-of-war over the Internet's future that has only gathered force subsequently. The Bookseller, April 4th 2014. Write Code Every Day.

(AllHipHop Rumors) You know they say that Game likes em young. I can't remember if people came to this conclusion before or after he was spotted fingering a teenage India Love in the park.
They say Game has a type with his type being barely legal. Game has since clapped back at all of these claims explaining that he's against pedophilia, but he doesn't like to date older women because all he can do with them is play bingo. An Instagram user inquired as to why Game couldn't find any models his own age, to which Game replied by saying,
"@Quietstormv you don't know me and you don't know her to assume anything about either of us. & all of these weirdos on here throwing that "pedofile" and "molester" sh-t around need to check themselves. I ain't never in my life had sexual relations with anyone under age & never will."
Ummmm define older and younger in your own words Game? LOL. What are your thoughts?https://www.instagram.com/p/BHLg5eHBLGW/
The Game also left some Yeezys behind for a "lucky" fan….depending on how you look at it. LOL.https://www.instagram.com/p/BQwXAFggCaO/

"Artificial Flavors" by Lunar Vacation
Lyrically and audibly, the songs embody the feeling of still being up when the sun begins to rise, causing you to ponder both yourself and the life you are living.
Lyrically and audibly, the songs embody the feeling of still being up when the sun begins to rise, causing you to ponder both yourself and the life you are living.
Listening to this album, suddenly I was back on every roadtrip I could remember.
With a more mature sound rooted in alternative rock with classic 60s undertones, 'Momentary Vertigo' sets this local San Diego band apart from the rest.
"Winters of my Youth", starts off with a slow melody, but soon gives you no room to breathe and makes you want to hop into the center of a mosh pit to just thrash around. With a vibe that combines the angst of SWMRS and the placidity of Mt. Eddy, you can't help but feel right at home. With lyrics, "Texting you at 2am / Cause I just want to be your friend" and "Waking up at 9am / I start to glance over our texts / Some things were said, some things were read", BBQ Pope are not only relatable, but catchy and satirical.
The band has managed to retain many of their signature sounds, & also convey a more introspective manner among their playful grooves.
With hints of 1960s folk and indie rock inspired sounds, you can't help but feel as though you are drifting away on a cloud of nostalgia.
Porches, the New York based synth-pop project just released their newest album 'The House' through Domino Recording Co. Porches' sound has shifted from a mainly calm indie vibe to a more despondent romantic electronic-pop sound in this enticing third album. Vocalist, Aaron Maine, has brought in a hypnotic flair to this record that can only be described as Depeche Mode meets The Neighborhood.
I don't know about you, but I've been practically exploding in anticipation for the debut album from LA rock group, Starcrawler. Let me just get it out there, I attempted to stay up until midnight last night because I was that excited, knowing full well that I had work the next morning. Sadly, I only made it until 10 p.m. before I fell asleep. Anticlimactic, I know. But waking up this morning and realizing that it was out made up for everything, and for the first time in 2018 I started the day off the right way.
I sat down with Megan Liscomb in her home to chat about her upcoming album "NEON" from her solo project PJ Sparkles. I've always been a fan of Megan's music projects, so I was excited to get to talk to her about some more in depth topics regarding music, the creative process and what's coming up in this new year.
On September 4th, 2017, the "slacker pop" band based out of Joplin, Missouri, Tennis Club, released their self titled album. The trio, consisting of bassist Justin Akin, drummer Sean O'Dell, and guitar/vocalist Wilson Hernandez, are breaking into the surf rock scene with the release of this first album.
On September 22nd, 2017, Lights, the Canadian alternative synthpop artist released her fourteen song album, "Skin & Earth." This is the fourth studio album released by Lights and "Skin & Earth" is a culmination of her artistic career, bringing together passion, anger, and energy into one project. As well as an album, in order to combine the music to a story, Lights created the fictional alter ego character, Enalia, in a self written and illustrated comic book. The creativity of combing an album and a comic makes the whole experience of listening to this album other worldly.
Alvvays' latest album, "Antisocialites," exceeds expectations with it's fluid instrumentals and alluring vocals. The Ontario natives have just released their second album on September 8th. Their first album, "Alvvays," was released in 2014 and reached number one on U.S. college charts, but only almost a week after "Antisocialites'" release, it's already imminent that this new project will do better than the last.

There's one colour Kate Middleton never wears, can you guess what it is?
9 August 2018, 14:50 | Updated: 9 August 2018, 16:34
The Duchess of Cambridge has become a fashion icon but there's one hue she's avoided...
Kate Middleton has really come into her own as a fashion icon over the last few years.
Her public engagements have allowed her to showcase a dazzling array of outfits, from a variety of the world's best designers.
From Dolce & Gabbana, to Mulberry, Orla Kiely and L.K Bennett to more 'high-street' brands like Zara, Kate's chic looks have wowed and inspired her fans in equal measure.
What's more, the range of colours she has dared to wear covers almost every colour of the rainbow.
At Wimbledon she went for a bold statement in a bright yellow number, and after giving birth to her third child she was pictured leaving the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital in London in a bespoke red Jenny Packham dress.

Earlier this year, she wore a hot pink coat during a visit to Coventry and, over the course of her family's tour of Canada in 2016, Kate worked her way through a series of bright blue, emerald green, and crimson outfits.
Another bold colour choice from the Duchess of Cambridge
Despite countless public appearances, the Duchess there is one colour that she had seemingly avoided.
According to Harper's Bazaar, who analysed hundreds of photos of Kate, she has never worn the colour orange.
The Duchess once came close to wearing the citrus hue, by donning a pink-peach ensemble, though it had no orange undertones.

So far, it is not known why the 36-year-old has stayed clear of the colour, particularly as her brunette hair and complexion suggest the colour would suit her.
Meghan Markle has also avoided the often garish colour.
The Queen on the other hand is a big fan of orange and has been seen wearing it multiple times during her reign.

The Mobile Internet appears to be mirroring the Internet. In the early days, the word 'Information superhighway' was often used for the 'Internet'. Notice that it is not used a lot now!. Certain players loved the word 'Information superhighway' – because a highway – connotes a tax. But the Internet is not a highway – it's a network – with no single path – and hence no tax.
But the idea of a 'toll' on a highway still remains. On the Mobile Internet, the Information superhighway becomes a 'portal' – i.e. an attempt to create a single channel for the customer(read 'toll booth').
I believe that – like the information superhighway – portals are mortal
This week, both thefeature and Justin Pearse(features editor of New Media age pick this story up
In Bubble era portal obsessions move into the mobile space The feature points out, rightly IMHO, that
from the perspective of content producers, a screen is a screen, and so they're all starting to "jockey" for position on various mobile portals. It seems like the classic entertainment industry view of these types of things. To them, all content is "broadcast" content — to be consumed passively by an audience, spoon-fed by the expert content pickers. They seem to believe that the only way that users can find content is if it's handed to them by the operators in a "portal."
Justin Pearse, whose views I value, also picks up the same story in new media age
UK operators say up to 70% of revenues come from off-portal By Justin Pearse
The market for mobile content outside operator portals is exploding in the UK, with operators reporting that up to 70% of revenues are being driven from outside the portal. The news is significant for a market that has long viewed the dominance of the operator portal as exerting a stranglehold on the market. The shift in consumer behaviour raises questions over the multiple millions spent by the operators building new brands with portals such as Vodafone Live! and O2 Active.Image source:
So, if portals are not the preferred means of finding content – what is? For the answer, look no further than google ..
Mobile search, while still in it's relative infancy – is the way to go!

God's Sovereignty Over Spiritual Gifts, Healing And Deliverance
*/And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ--to the glory and praise of God.
/**Philippians 1:9-11*
*/ "In faith, unity; in opinions and methods, liberty; in all things, charity."
-/ Richard Baxter *
*The believers role with the demonic and the "name it and claim it" theology.*
Demonic influences exist in varying degrees—deception of truth, destruction of lives, leading saved souls astray through temptation, sin causing illness, spirits causing illness, demons possessing souls with physical side affects.
The ultimate goal of these influences is to deceive the lost and hinder the preaching of the gospel.
Christians have been equipped to battle these influences through God's power.
Romans 8:35-39 clearly states that no outside source or power can separate us from God. Ephesians 6:10-20 tells us to be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
It goes on to describe the armor God gives us to battle these influences.
It is the power of God not our words that give us victory.
Where doctrinal beliefs conflict is in the practice of expelling these influences; as, for example, the "health and wealth" gospel.
The "health and wealth" gospel or "name it and claim it" approach is dangerous in leading people into thinking God is a form of cosmic Santa Clause and ignores our accountability to sin and the sovereignty of God.
God most certainly does want us to treat our bodies well and His power overcomes sin and spirits (2 Cor 6:16; Ps 103:3; Mk 16:17).
Clearly the Bible shows the power of the Holy Spirit in providing healing regardless of the cause.
Jesus and Paul successfully healed the sick and verbally rebuked demons that cause illness, and it is undisputed that Christ does in fact answer healing requests according to His will (Mt 20:29; Mk 10:46; Lk 18:35).
But no man should assume a theology of guaranteeing healing because it depends on the will of God and the vital importance of obedience and sin.
(Mk 11:25; I John 1:9 obedience prior to answer prayer).
Which leads to six conclusions:
* Demonic and spiritual influence is real, at least to a level of temptation.
* One's belief in the level of demonic influence in a given situation remains uncertain and must not be a point of division.
The mission of the church to heal and restore in order give the gospel is more important than the debate over the cause of an illness.
We do not always know the cause of illness, but we do know that God can heal.
The method should always be to seek God's power for healing.
* If one believes in spiritual influences then discernment is key when approaching healing or intercession as many other factors both spiritual, physical and emotional are involved.
Not even the apostles were 100% accurate in their approach to healing as Christ had the discernment of the correct approach—Mt.
17:14-21; Mk 9:17-29.
Scripture shows that sometimes fasting or prayer is also necessary.
* Biblical spiritual warfare always revolves around the mind and soul.
Ultimately, Satan's greatest achievement is not to occupy our bodies, but to steal our souls.
Satan does want our souls, but we know that his power has been defeated by Christ's sacrifice, John 10:10.
* Regardless of the form of Satan's influence, individual's actions remain accountable to God and covered by His grace.
Even if the spiritual force is beyond a believer's strength to overcome, we cannot be disobedient and claim, "the devil made me do it."
We struggle with our sinful natures, Romans 6:12; Romans 7:14-25 but God gives us the ability to stand up under temptation if we seek his strength 1 Cor.
10:13, Gal.
5:16 and we have victory over sin and death through Christ Jesus, 1 Pet.
2: 24.
! Physical Manifestations
Similar to demonic influences, the problem for our understanding is not in the existence of the manifestations but the application.
More specifically, how do you prove a manifestation is from the Holy Spirit because there can be two other sources—Satan and emotions.
One cannot let the manifestation itself be the proof it was from God because He can do the same work without the manifestation.
There are only 2 proofs: 1. Scripture evidence supporting the manifestation; and, 2.When the manifestation is ambiguous, the presence of fruit from the Holy Spirit.
Like spiritual gifts, manifestations should not be glorified, nor a source of pride or envy as they serve to give glory to God and build up the body.
! Spiritual Gifts and Speaking in Tongues
The problem is not with being charismatic.
The word "charisma" is a Greek word meaning divine gift.
The problem lies in the heart of how one approaches being charismatic.
A church can go to one dangerous extreme of pursuing the meta-physical and abandon their pursuit of God.
This is commonly accompanied by attitudes of pride, arrogance, and control resulting in guilt, shame, and an ungodly caste system of "haves" and "have-nots".
Or they can go to the other extreme out of ignorance and fear and exclude God's desire to bless and equip.
Like Paul did in 1 Corinthians 12, 13 and 14, we want to encourage our flock to desire spiritual gifts so they may be empowered by God to do ministry & service.
We want our emphasis to be on how those gifts are being used on a daily basis in order to expand God's kingdom.
It is clear scripture does not want us to pursue spiritual gifts in any selfish, boastful or pious way.
*As such, here are some current biblical principles HOPE has had since our existence: *
· Not every believer will receive tongues.
Tongues are not essential for salvation and we should not be prideful about receiving it or expect or require others to receive it.
The issue is not whether tongues exist, that is assured.
What remains an unresolved issue among Christians is whether or not one can have a 100% certainty of receiving a specific gift.
(This also applies to healing and deliverance—God makes it available, but only he decides who gets it and when.)
Our leadership believes the sovereignty of God reigns over distributing these gifts and they may not show up for every individual.
We also do not consider this belief to be worthy of being divisive as many Christians believe it is available to all and they are no more or no less of a Christian for believing it.
Yet, at Hope, we do not support the instruction that there is a 100% guarantee of receiving tongues (or that a healing) is a forgone conclusion.
· Private speaking in tongues does have the benefit of blessing the individual as it lifts up ones relationship to God on a spiritual plane, but it is not necessary to speak tongues to do this.
There is strong Biblical support for seeking interpretation from God while speaking in tongues individually.
1 Cor.
14: 13-15.
· Scripture encourages us to pursue spiritual gifts and further instructs us that tongues should not be forbidden but embraced with proper instruction.
Allowing fear of the unknown to limit our relationship with Christ is not the intention of these scriptures, being orderly and non-divisive is the intent.
· Public speaking in tongues can be problematic as a course for deepening the church and non-believer's faith.
Allowing disorderly pursuit of God's gifts in public is equally detrimental and deserving of biblical ordained discipline, 1 Cor.
For the biblical purpose of order and avoiding confusion and divisiveness among believers, we do not practice public speaking in tongues, nor tongues during public moments when "praying by the spirit", unless there is the biblical practice of interpretation.
· We emphasize humility, grace and God's love as the power behind all gifts and not human pride of being more powerful, enlightened, or successful for God.
A person's public enthusiasm for receiving any gift must be channeled to exhort Christ and not oneself.
The issue is not "look what I've got", but "look at what God did."
James 3:13
· As tongues, prophecy and other gifts are not essential to salvation, we will let each individual decide for themselves how much they need to "earnestly desire" the gifts as they ask God specifically for it.
· Practice Orderliness: Any public speaking in tongues or prophecy on Sunday corporate worship will be immediately addressed to insure there is an interpretation.
If no interpretation is made there will be an immediate instruction as to the lack of biblical order and a request to stop.
