Dan Lamb wants U.S. to look at trade agreement with China
ONEIDA- Congressional Candidate Dan Lamb was in Oneida on Thursday visiting local businesses and stopped in at the Oneida Daily Dispatch. He said he wants a Congress that takes a firm stance on global trade.
"We need to stop digging holes deeper with free trade laws," the Democrat said. "We need to take a look at our trade agreements with countries like China and how they subsidize their production and really sink our teeth into those agreements."
Lamb explained that trade agreements need to be looked at on a deeper level, moving past simply maintaining exports and imports and looking into individual pieces of trade legislation.
"We have to have advocacy in the House that can stand up to these special interest and corporate groups that influence congressional decisions," Lamb said. Lamb wants to investigate countries for currency manipulation and subsidization of work forces and products.
Lamb feels these steps may create better access to the global economy and bring manufacturing and production-based jobs back to the United States.
"We see it here in the 22nd District with companies like Oneida Limited outsourcing," Lamb said.
Lamb wants to look at other companies like Revere Copper in Rome, that haven't left the area and see how they continue to operate, despite the global setting.
Lamb, 48, has Master's Degrees in Public Administration and Environmental Policy from Syracuse University. He attended Ithaca College after high school and received his Bachelor's Degrees in Music and Business.
Lamb worked with Maurice Hinchey as district director for 15 years in Congress.
He spent 15 years in the private sector before that, including stints as a janitor and a bartender. Continued...
He has also worked as a legislative aide in Albany and was an employee of Thompkins Consolidated Area Transit.
Lamb also worked as a consultant on wastewater management, and is opposed to natural gas drilling and hydrofracking.
"Farmers in our district take pride in our clean water for their dairy and produce," Lamb said. "That is something that needs to be protected."
One of Lamb's concerns with the current congress is that they let the Farm Bill expire, something that will be a strain on farmers nationwide. Crop insurance and milk income loss protections have been suspended, and farmers may see up to a ten percent drop in their dairy income.
Lamb opposed vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan's health care reforms out of concern for the 22nd District.
"We have a population higher than the national average of people over the age of 65," said Lamb. "Changes in Medicare will be felt heavily in this area."
Lamb said that he fears people don't see the changes in their health care. With a switch to the voucher system proposed by Ryan, people may see up a a $6 thousand increase per year.

text: Invented in France in 1795 by Nicolas-Jacques Conté especially for drawing and sketching, Conté Crayons are made from a blend of natural pigments, kaolin clay, and graphite. The Conté crayon has been used by many of the world's greatest artists, including Picasso, Delacroix, and Degas. The rich, vivid colors of Conté Crayons mix together nicely, and a range of effects can be consistently produced. They are well suited for use on newsprint, bristol, toned paper or heavily grained surfaces. Their rich opacity makes them ideal for work on darker papers and their quality ensures the longevity of drawings. Conté crayons are waxier and much firmer than soft pastels, so they produce little dust and are easy to control. Sharpen Conté Crayons to a chisel tip with a sanding pad for detailed work or drag them flat on their sides for various shading techniques on large areas. The unique shape allows the sticks to be broken for easier use. Sticks are 2½" long × ¼" square (63 mm × 6 mm). Each box contains 2 or 12 crayons of one color, except for the color sets. Please refer to the Item Specs tab of this page for a complete listing of the colors in each set. Tin Box Set of 6 — NEW!The second offering in Conté's limited edition series, this set contains six sketching crayons in a white lacquered tin, including Sanguine, Sanguine 18th Century, Bistre, White 2B, Gray, and Black. ® Conté is a registered trademark. |

It is very useful for you to remember that southwest is the universal corner of romance and marriage, according to the Life Aspiration Theory.
It is governed by the earth element, which is produced by the fire element. For best results, you can activate this corner with something that symbolizes its intrinsic element or its producing element.
A strong southwest sector is very important for good marriage luck to manifest.
Place a pair of crystal mandarin ducks in the southwest sector of your bedroom Energize further with the double happiness symbol or the red crystal heart. Hang a pair of red lanterns here or better yet, paint the whole southwest wall in a lovely shade of scarlet or get it wallpapered in maroon.
And, if you can get an amethyst geode with a deep pocket, that would be your most potent love enhancer in the southwest.
Display the celestial dragon and phoenix in the southwest sector of your living room to boost the yang energy and enhance your marriage luck. Alternatively, you can hang a crystal chandelier in the southwest sector of your living room.
The plus point of a crystal chandelier is that it combines both the elements of fire and earth. The result is a most attractive ornament that brings robust love luck to every resident of the home.
Finally, you can place a huge boulder in the Southwest corner of your garden to activate your wedding luck. Knot a red ribbon around the boulder to activate its inherent chi. You can even paint the double happiness symbol in red on the rock. Install a round yellow light atop a pole that is at least 1.5m above the ground and 1m below.
Keeping this area brightly lit will attract proposals of marriage from sincere suitors with respectable intentions. Employ all of these potent Feng Shui pointers in your home, and you might just hear the wonderful chime of wedding bells soon…
What if the southwest sector of my home is in the toilet, bath, store, broom closet?
If the southwest sector of your house is thus afflicted, then you should keep the door (of the bath or store) shut at all times -to conceal the offending view as well as to stem the flow of chi. Do not put any auspicious symbols inside because you must not activate the energies in such rooms as they are considered to be negative. Enhancing for love luck in the bathroom or storeroom can create relationship problems and cause the opposite of what you hope to achieve. Do not let this bother you too much, as you can always practise the feng shui of small tai chi. Just activate the southwest corners of other important rooms i.e., family room, study room, tv room, etc.) It works just as well.

Heavyweight Gainer 900 Overview
Champion Nutrition specializes in high-quality products for athletes of all kinds. Champion is known for economical but effective formulas that rely on proven ingredients and nutrient ratios - not hype, flash or exotic ingredients. If you're looking for a straight-ahead weight gainer without a lot of bells and whistles that don't really add anything, Champion's Heavyweight Gainer 900 is for you. Heavyweight Gainer 900 will help you add mass by adding 900 nutritionally-dense calories to your diet with each delicious shake. Heavyweight Gainer 900 has about a 3:1 ratio of carbs to protein, which is about right for most athletes. It's technically a weight-gainer but as a meal-replacement, post-workout shake or between-meal feeding, Heavyweight Gainer 900 is versatile enough to be used whenever you need it.
Heavyweight Gainer 900 Description from CHAMPION NUTRITION If Packing on Size In A Short Time Is Your Goal, Nothing Helps You Do It Like HEAVYWEIGHT GAINER 900.HEAVYWEIGHT GAINER 900 is so effective at quickly adding and maintaining size that it's the favorite gainer among professional football players, like Mike Flynn of the Baltimore Ravens, and is the gainer of choice of many coaches and collegiate sports programs.If you've ever tried to eat a thousand or more extra calories in one sitting to bulk up, you already know it can leave you feeling bloated, full, and sluggish. But you also know that it's the additional calories that are going to put the extra size and weight you need on your frame. So, if you need to get bigger or heavier or both, HEAVYWEIGHT GAINER 900 makes it simple to add those desperately needed extra calories to your diet without having to walk around feeling like you just had Thanksgiving Dinner twice.What's more, those all-important calories are packed with the nutrients you need: You get thirty-five grams of nitrogen-rich protein, vitamins, minerals, energy-rich carbohydrates, and much much more. In addition, HEAVYWEIGHT GAINER 900 is an ideal choice for teen-age athletes looking to add some mass to their bodies.
Manufacturer's Directions Gradually add 4 scoops of Heavyweight into 2 cups of cold water or milk with continuous mixing.
I was 159 when I started a jug of this, the day I finished the jug I weighed 171. It took 15 days. I didn't change my diet at all except for adding this gainer, but I took it religiously, same schedule everyday. In the morning, then mid afternoon, then right before bed. Doesn't mix real good, you have to learn how to do it. I mix a tiny bit of milk with 4 scoops, makes like a thick paste, then add more milk. For some reason if you add all the milk at first, it won't mix good at all. I use the chocolate and it tastes great.

Luke still has Bok ambition
17 May 2011
Luke Watson says he would be open to representing the Springboks again and believes they are in a stronger position than any other team to win the World Cup.
Watson was speaking in Cape Town en route to Port Elizabeth where he will commence duty with the EP Kings after two years at Bath in the Premiership.
He left South Africa in late 2009 having established a reputation for being outspoken on a range of issues, most notably representing the Springboks. At a dinner at University of Cape Town Rugby Club, he was alleged to have said, among other things, that he felt like vomiting on the Bok jersey when he debut in 2007 because of what it represented.
Although it was never confirmed that he said this, many of the senior Springboks, who had been vehemently opposed to his late inclusion in the 2007 World Cup training squad, used the claims to further justify their dislike and disregard for him.
Watson, whose father Cheeky was a prominent activist during the struggle years, intimated that his thinking and attitude at the time had been influenced by others. He, however, suggested that he returns a different person.
'I grew up in a fundamentally different environment to most – every word was watched, every decision I made monitored,' Watson told keo.co.za. 'I remember being interviewed by CNN at the age of 10 and asked whether I support the Springboks. I said "yes", but was quickly rapped over the knuckles by the powers that be because it wasn't the correct thing to do politically.
'I never really had an opportunity to establish my own identity and make my own decisions. These 18 months in Bath have been incredibly beneficial in that regard. It's given me the opportunity to assess the things that I value.
'It's easy for me to sit here and tell you how mature I have become. But I can only hope that over the next few years you will notice that there are certain values and principles have have been altered. I'm still going to be the Luke Watson that speaks from my heart, not too worried about the consequences that come with the truth. I'm not going to shy away from any issues because of opposition I've received in the past.
'Yes there are things that I still don't agree with at a national and regional level. But if I do get the opportunity to represent my country again I will do so very proudly.'
Watson is unlikely to force his way into the Springbok World Cup squad, and never gave the impression that he expected to. But that didn't stop him from sharing his views on where they stand at present.
'As far as talent squad and depth goes, I don't think any team can match the Springboks,' he said. 'If the All Blacks lose Dan Carter or Richie McCaw there are big, big holes to fill. We're not in the same situation. Most of our players are very easily replaceable. We're in a very strong position if the right team is selected and managed correctly.'
Watson added: 'I'd like to see a couple of the youngsters who haven't got an opportunity to play Test rugby get that chance before the World Cup. For example, for me it's ridiculous that Duane Vermeulen hasn't played any Tests. He has been the most consistent loose forward in the last two or three seasons of Super Rugby. Yes we have great loose forwards, but surely you have to find an opportunity somewhere for him.
'Also, I'd like to see Pat Lambie play two or three Tests at 10. Peter Grant deserves an opportunity as well. We've seen what Morné Steyn can do, but we should go to the World Cup knowing that we have options in terms of playing different styles against different teams.'
The 27-year-old, who will compete with Eastern Province in the Currie Cup First Division and Vodacom Cup (in 2012) until the Kings' entry into Super Rugby in 2013, said he wasn't available to any other franchise in 2012.
Watson acknowledged the prevailing perception that he was taking a massive step backwards in his career, but explained the decision, saying: 'I was in heaven in Bath, earning pounds and captaining the side. Life was easy. I could have stayed in Bath and taken comfortable, easy route. But I knew there was something greater that I could achieve.
'I understand that people would look at the move from one of the top sides in Europe to playing Currie Cup First Division as a step down and a risk. But I look at the long-term potential of this decision, especially its ability to uplift a community and region. Sure there are a lot of things that are not ideal. But there are a lot more that are.
'I really believe that the players and the resources are there for the Kings to be successful. It's incredibly difficult to keep the talented players in the Eastern Cape without a Super Rugby franchise. The Kings solve that problem, although I appreciate that it will take time [to hold on to the region's best players].'

18 May 2011, 21:38 pm@Inevitable(Inevitable)-348: Thanks mate. Appreciate it.
Can't let shampoodleshagger think he is has sole authority on bulldust….
18 May 2011, 21:44 pm@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-350: Jeez you talking twak about this "specialist no 6″ thing… SA does not typically employ classic blindside and open side flankers even at the time you mention: 04/05/06… Now you saying that Watson was the "best 6″ in the country… Okay, tell me Einstein, who were the "6′s" that were his inferior competition at that time…
18 May 2011, 21:49 pmGo check who played in that 49-0 disaster and tell me who got fucked up like that and why?
Go check all the 2005 S14 games and who was the standout SA No.6… and no it was NOT S. Burger. In spite of what JW or IRB might have thought.
18 May 2011, 21:58 pmLike Willievz correctly says its a poor comparison
One was a No.6 – LW
and the other wasn't – SBIf these dumbfuck useless coaches sop riddled with ideological fear factors could get the stupefied sleep from out their dumbfucked eyes they would have seen at the time that there WAS a proper open side flank ready to step into the Bok frame ALONG with the other strengths available like SB and JS and JvN
But they preferred to simply CLOSE them and talk CR@P about beer fetching and the rest of the mind wobbling bullsh't baffling brain stories to smoke screen themselves from the absolute obvious that they were victimizing and ostracizing a particular case for reasons plainly and utterly NON rugby related… big fat EGO protectionism related for sure.. cause the little dumbfuck idiot coach was too much of a jelly wobbling little insecure cn't himself so he needed a whole fortress of cn'ts around him ALL believing that the man on the outside was a cancerous dangerous and undermining influence who will erode all his aggrandized fanny faced tricks he was hanging onto for his dear face saving life.
19 May 2011, 02:18 am@Black Panther(Black Panther)-342:
Oi *** nut , don't bring me into your sh it fight with everyone. You a low life bullshitting troll who does not like the truth.
Lets re-cap:
I highlighted the % Marori/PI prison population % v the total pop % on a trhread that was discussing that topic and then got branded a racist? Go figure
I tried to understand why most posts were anti SA and suggested maybe cause a Saffa shagged your wife? A bit low, but hey par for the course on this blog.
By the way, is she still giving out biscuits??
You know the saying, if it gets too hot……….faaark off
19 May 2011, 04:28 amthe reallity is. Luke will never wear Bok jersey again.
But I support his crusade to revive OP
The Elephants will rampage again!
19 May 2011, 10:03 ambottom-feeding pondlife
Its quite clear that you have very little respect for anyone but yourself. You have pyscholigical issues respecting women – cue repulsive accounts here of what you get up to with your 'Kiwi girlfriend' (of which Im sure she has no knowledge that you have shared with cyberspace). Big man huh. Brave huh. There have also been repeated references of explicit sexu@l nature about another mans wife, and mother of children. All from the safe sanctuary of your musty basement haven.
You also clearly have no respect for ethnic minorities, linking them as 'criminals' and think nothing of making sweeping generalisations with grotesque negative connotations. It was noticeable at the time that whilst quite happy to manufacture 'racist' accusations towards Poppa, you were unhappy when similar observations were made of yourself. Thats because you are clearly mentally immature.
You were given the opportunity to show that your behaviour here was 'the norm', or as you now say "if its too hot in the kitchen", and only after failing to do so you then succumbed to the only method youre comfortable with – repeating the same accusations as you do now again.
You are scum. A piece of filth. Dog t'urd.
And always will be.
20 May 2011, 02:59 am@Black Panther(Black Panther)-357:
You must actualy be very thick twat face!
I have made no racist comments on this blog ever……….and I've been here awhile.
Read my comments in the context of the convesation that was taking place you idiot. It's basic educational stuff. The context of the thread was the contribution of Maori/PI's to NZ, both positive and negative. My quote, was a quote taken from a minister in the NZ Parliament. It was relevant to the thread! Do I really have to explain this to you you thick dooooos?
The reference to your wife has been explained ad naseu. Get off your high horse and grow a pair. You come across all fekking holier than thou when it suits. Real small man syndrome stuff.
You are a fekking dooooos of epic proprtions and always will be and you never answered my question? Your wife still giving out biscuits?

Wow – what a wild ride. In the last 15 months, since I started reporting the local news for Patch in Millburn and Short Hills, there have been three natural disasters (Hurricane Irene, October snowstorm and an earthquake), numerous power outages, flooding and fights over charter schools, the zoning of a synagogue, a grocery store and a cell tower.
If that weren't enough for one idyllic little suburb with the best high school in the state, there was a crime wave of home and auto break-ins, a carjacking and attempted carjacking, two suicides on the tracks, an attempted murder case and a body found in the Reservation.
Then there were the parades, games, plays, concerts and restuarant openings and closings and, after the hurricane, reopenings.
I love covering local news, and this town provided more news than I could ever imagine it would. It has been great. I've learned that running a news site as opposed to a newspaper is more time consuming than I anticipated. You never put it to bed.
For a local news junkie, that's great. But as a mom, it's tough to juggle. So when I was offered an opportunity to also do what I love as the Publications Editor at Montclair State University, I knew the family friendly hours would be better fit for me.
As one of the oldest Patch sites, Millburn-Short Hills Patch has the good fortune of having lots of loyal readers. I have appreciated the news tips and the occasional copy-editing help. I also appreciated your help during Hurricane Irene, when many of you posted great photos and video from all over the township as dawn broke. It was a terrific example of community journalism and one of Patch's finest moments. People are passionate in their town, about the schools and the township, and that's pretty powerful when channeled positively.
Patch will soon name a new editor, who will also appreciate that help, but in the meantime please send your tips and story ideas and Patch questions to the Essex County Regional Editor Elizabeth Moore at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you need to reach me about something, you can send an email to email@example.com. I wish you the best and, specifically, I wish for very mild and uneventful hurricane season.

C'mon MarkDS. With all due respect, who are you to make such a pompous statement. She poured her heart into it and did it her way. I'm not going to insult you, but you're def on the fence of deserving it. GREAT JOB LAURA!!
5:59 am on Monday, June 11, 2012
I am just someone who has read just about every article since the day Patch launched with Millburn being in the first batch of towns (and it being called just Millburn Patch was the first controversy, amazingly enough).
10:58 pm on Saturday, June 9, 2012
I agree that Laura did a great job -- especially with the hurricane coverage. Best of luck Laura and The Patch has impressive shoes to fill! :)

Did MarkDS delete his comment?
I didn't agree with him (I think Jen and Laura both did great work), but would like to respond: Clearly, whatever Laura did, it worked for MarkDS as he is one of the most prolific commenters during her tenure! Laura clearly knew how to engage this reader!
8:25 pm on Sunday, June 10, 2012
For the record, I did not delete my comment. Jen literally reported on every bump in the road. Millburn Patch has not been the same since she left.
Jack Durschlag
9:46 pm on Sunday, June 10, 2012
Laura: Your 24/7/365 dedication to Millburn Patch was refreshing and was just the tip of the iceberg of all you did for the site. You will be missed.

suggestions for the relay systems...
Like (0)
hello, i am a guitar player and am interested in a the awesome wireless pedals you guys have. but I wanted to make a suggestion to future products. I imagine i would be using your g-50 or g-90 on my pedal board with a 1/4 jack making the run to the amp i play through. Though I am sure that I would for sure be using the wireless for the shows, in practicing, i find that it would be as necessary. My suggestion is I would like to be able to input through said pedal direct as an option. I don't believe the wireless offers that at the moment, but for me it would help alot, i would not have to rearrange my pedal board between shows, and i wouldn't have to add some kind of splitter box that would take up valuable room on my board. just a thought. if i can expect it in the future please let me know! and thanks!
Thanks ... it's an interesting idea.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Florida House Bill 587 Could Bring Dramatic Changes in Personal Injury Law
Monday, March 4th, 2013Recently, Florida House Bill 587 was proposed, which will limit the amount of medical expenses a person injured in an accident can recover to the "customarily accepted" payment for such services.
This bill deserves close attention. It was sponsored by an attorney whose law firm specializes in automobile negligence defense, meaning they are paid by insurance companies. This bill would replace the current law, which allows injured people to be compensated for necessary and reasonable medical care.
While this change may not appear to be significant, it is actually dramatic… and of course works against you as the injured party. Under the current law, the plaintiff's treating doctors testify as to what they believe is reasonable and necessary medical care. Conversely, the defendants hire their own experts who can opine on what they believe is reasonable or necessary.
Jason Weisser, the author of this article, is a Partner and Shareholder with Schuler, Halvorson, Weisser, & Zoeller and a Board Certified Trial Attorney.
The problem with the proposed law is there is no defined standard for "customarily accepted" medical care. The amount paid for treatment by health insurance, Medicare, private pay or Medicaid has massive fluctuations. The defense companies will simply bring "experts" who are hired guns to say the plaintiff's medical bills aren't customary, but inflated.
This proposed bill will place an impossible burden on the injured person to prove what the "customarily accepted" amount is for the treatment required, and doctors will receive unfairly low compensation for the treatment they provide in these cases. If you would like to comment on the information in this article, please go to our blog at http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/shwz/wp-admin/.

YeHaveHeard has been branching out.
Late last month my feature column Bill Gothard and Patriarchy: Re-routed Feminism? appeared on Quivering Daughters. That prompted much discussion about Christian homeschooling/ "character first" teacher Bill Gothard's public pronouncement that Jesus' the-greatest-among-you-must-be-the-servant-of-all statement means "that makes the woman the greatest of all because she has served every single person in the world by being in her womb."
An excerpt, before getting to a few responses to critics (most of them from anonymous):
Perhaps [Gothard] said more, which isn't shown, about Christ being the greatest Servant, Whom both men and women honor in the ways they serve one another. But if not, he rejected a prime opportunity to point to the Savior his organization claims to follow. Instead he pointed to humans, and to women in particular as in effect the world's secret rulers — something Christ never meant whenever He taught on true servanthood.
Three passages in Scripture contain Jesus' reminder that if one wishes to be truly great, he must become the servant of all: Matthew 18: 1-4, Mark 9:33-37 and Luke 9: 46-48.
In each account, of apparently the same dialogue about seeking servanthood as true greatness, Christ was speaking to His disciples. They were men. Women aren't mentioned. He used a trusting child's conduct as an example of true humility. Mark 9:37: "Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me." And in Luke 9:48 He adds, "For he who is least among you all is the one who is great."
What are the contexts here? Not gender roles. Not family. Not which gender should serve the most in a human way and thus be greatest. Jesus is pointing to Himself. These passages are about Him. And later, from the minor gift of washing His followers' dirty feet to His earth-shaking, epic death on a cross for the salvation of His people, to be the ultimate sacrifice for our sin — He proved Himself the One Who saves us, changes us, the Servant of all.
This exegesis shows Gothard's view to be in flagrant error. But unfortunately this is not unusual for him — Gothard has often proved that salvaging Scripture verses and principles, out of context, is certainly not a practice limited to liberals or emergents.
What might have been equally disappointing, though, is that his defenders in the column didn't even try to prove he was right.
Instead I read some of the same defense mechanisms I'd heard before, such as:
- He's a nice guy.
- Have you tried to talk with him personally? (Implied: that is required, before you say anything negative.)
- We've followed his teachings and we're doing find (therefore our Anecdote simply surpasses yours).
- Various ad hominem attacks against other Gothard critics, either real or perceived.
- Gothard uses Bible verses in his teachings; therefore he's touching Base and shouldn't be questioned.
- (Implied) Hmm, you must be one of those Christians who doesn't believe in trying to live a holy life.
- A derivative of the Gamaliel Game, a frequent (and fatalistic!) defense, based on Acts 5: 33-40, which in essence says "if he's a bad guy, just ignore him and let God handle it." Scripture neither condemns nor endorses Gamaliel's specific advice in that passage, but certainly does elsewhere contradict the notion that Christians should just ignore false teachers!
Part 1 will consist of my response to Anonymous' second batch of well-written questions. Part 2 will show my response to his/her actual first portion of questions and responses, which had initially been hidden by the site's spam filter.
Responses to Anonymous
Thanks for stopping by, yet-another-Anonymous. Like most online-only conversations in which I engage, I wish we had the time and ability to add some semblance of relationship as the basis of our interactions, rather than the drive-by-debating common to the internet. Shall we imagine a brief visit between you, and my wife and I, in our living room with coffee or your beverage of choice, as I try to address your concerns?
6. Simply because the author of the article "Taliban Dan…" omits any reference to Bill Gothard teaching about walking in the good works God has created us for or honoring God with our lives does not mean that Bill Gothard (just a sinful, fallible instrument) omits them in his teaching.
From my experience with Gothard's programs, I recall very little Gospel. This error is not unique to Gothard, but to many Christian leaders: they simply assume their followers/disciples will get that Gospel-of-Grace stuff out there somewhere, and can now move on to the "walking in good works" stuff without emphasis in the work Christ accomplished for us.
I don't share that (often well-intentioned) perspective. A lover of Christ will be doing all he can (knowing God is at work in him — Philippians 2: 12-13) to preach the Gospel to Himself, living in light of what Christ has done and will do, not keeping that in the past and moving on to the supposedly more-important truth of walking in good works. Grace, as Gothard defines it, does include the power to obey God, but that is not the most important definition. Gothard in practice acts as thought it is.
We used the ATI curriculum for 12 years, and chose to get out—not with some personal vendetta against Bill Gothard and the program—but simply because God was leading us to other things—further training for His Kingdom.
Neither do I have a personal vendetta. But those who purport to teach the Bible should be held to high standards. While quoting verses, setting up systems purported to be based on truth, etc., are they applying right hermeneutics? Respecting God the Author of Scripture by reading and understanding it rightly?
The curriculum was full of scripture, and full of teaching about honoring God, His established authorities, and our fellow man.
I've shown above how Gothard severely twisted a single Scripture to make it man- (or woman-) centered, instead of echoing the deeper truth Christ was clearly teaching. Unless the reporter was making up that quote, Gothard is guilty of abusing the Word of God, not like a naive "baby Christian" but as a Christian leader.
In saying this, I take what he said at face value: he believes women are the greatest because they "serve" the most. That's just not Biblical. Jesus was talking not to women, but to His own (male) disciples, saying they should strive to be the servant of all — and He Himself showed them how, and became the Servant of All, exalted over all: men and women.
Gothard is guilty of salvaging other Scriptures to further other goals, and that is wrong, no matter how Biblical those goals might be (such as Opposing Rebellion or Reminded us of Authority). Gothard's woefully wrong reading of the account of Jesus healing the centurion's son, for example, is a flagrant violation of how Scripture should be read: emphasizing Christ, as the narrative does, and not simply the Human Authority Structure.
The program was, as accused, full of steps, also, toward success in various aspects of Christian living. Some view this approach to problem solving as legalistic
Some might, but that's not what I argued above. Similarly, Jesus faulted the Pharisees not merely for solving moral problems in step-by-step ways, but for making up laws and calling them God's Law, and rejecting the point of the Law anyway: Christ Himself.
but others (and it's just as valid a perspective) view the step method (merely breaking a problem into bite-sized pieces) as helpful.
Ordinarily I would agree. This would simply be seen as optional methods for doing our part, as Christians, to work out our salvation. But again, two issues:
a) Gothard doesn't see these steps as optional. He calls them "life principles" and has continued to do this day to say they're not optional.
b) The steps are often not only extra-Biblical (optional) but anti-Biblical. And adding to what Scripture says and calling it Scripture is just as bad as ignoring what Scripture does say.
Grace-oriented individuals should be careful not to condemn those who prefer a more structured approach.
Whether structured or not, all Christians are called to be grace-oriented individuals. That part is indeed not optional!
And whether or not a parent/person has a specific "structured approach," if it's not based in grace, it's not Gospel-minded — and would warrant a Galatians-style letter from the Apostle Paul asking with love but passion: "Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?" (Galatians 3:3). Or he would write a letter repeating what he told the Colossians (in 3: 20-23) about wrong, anti-Biblical "structures":
"If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations—'Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch' (referring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to human precepts and teachings? These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh."
Neither is more righteous as long as both look to Christ as THE problem-solver and THE SOLUTION.
Which, as I've argued above, Gothard in-practice and even in-writing does not do.
However, perhaps you, most excellent Anonymous, were able to take what you found good about Gothard's materials and see them through the lenses of God's grace. If so, I rejoice! Yet I would ask that you recognize that others have not been so blessed, and are trapped on a graceless treadmill, trying to earn their sanctification through Gothard's anti-Biblical materials. IBLP does not seem their whole System of beliefs as optional as you and I might see them, free to choose which ones to follow — or even to depart the whole thing and find better curriculum elsewhere.
7. It is simply Ungodly to undermine parents in trying to "rescue" daughters from what we perceive to be an oppressive lifestyle.
I don't oppose that. Are you referring to something I wrote?
In fact, it's a main mission of Quivering Daughters here to help carry out such rescues, of daughters who are trapped in not only what's "perceived" to be an oppressive lifestyle, but what is — according to the Gospel, aided by sanctified common sense! — oppressive and grace-rejecting lifestyles. To see this further, I encourage you to look more on the site, and perhaps read Hillary's book Quivering Daughters and Don Veinot's book A Matter of Basic Principle: Bill Gothard and the Christian Life.
You see, the God of the universe gave each daughter her parents and each wife her husband. If we are willing to cease trying to give God and Ishmael, and trust Him (Jer. 29:11), He will complete his unstoppable plan of mercy and grace in the ultimate manner.
But the sovereign God works through means, Anonymous. He has given and encouraged (nay required) Christians to practice discernment, rather than being more passive (a la Gamaliel in Acts) and simply let things happen. Should we also apply the more-passive mindset to the pressing issues of our day, such as sex trafficking, racism or abortion? Surely not. Scripture doesn't leave Christians with that option — though some of us may have different callings in this.
As an aside, I hear Jeremiah 29:11 quoted a lot, but out of context: that promise God made to the Israelites then is weakened when we apply it straight to ourselves without the background that He fulfilled it for them. Furthermore His perfect plans for them also involved plenty of hardship and learning from the ways they had rejected Him — only through better discernment and growth did they have "hope and a future."
When we interfere in order to help him, we just mess things up.
Again, the point here is not simply reaching out to women (or anyone) who's in a merely "perceived" oppressive lifestyle, but showing how this lifestyle is not only dangerous, but flagrantly anti-Biblical and not actually honoring to Christ and the Gospel.
8. When we are on the outside looking in to a situation, we make a lot of assumptions. My old English teacher used to say "To ASSUME makes an ASS out of U and ME." Wouldn't the Christian way be to spend our hours and days spreading the good news of the gospel and discipling young believers in a God-honoring way to aid in their sanctification instead of devoting entire ministries to breaking down or attacking the ministries of those we don't understand (and thereby are suspicious of)?
Again, if you are referring to Quivering Daughters, I would ask:
a) Then why are you trying to oppose this ministry? Perhaps you don't yourself understand what they see, what they know, and to whom they're reaching. The problem with a Gamaliel-like "if it's of God you can't stop it anyway" notion is that it can't be suggested consistently without self-refuting, and it's not what Scripture says to follow anyway.
b) Yet again, these are about whether a professed Christian and supposedly Biblical organization is actually following Christ and the Bible. I've shown above how Gothard has violated both (as is a proven pattern in how he salvages other Scriptures to fit into moralism machines). If you'd like to engage my ideas in that area, Anonymous, I'd love to listen and reply.
Where is the glory for God in a ministry like this?
The glory to God is the same as Paul gave when he publicly opposed Peter for sucking up to legalistic Judaizers (Galatians 2) or called out a professing Christian for anti-Biblical behavior (1 Corinthians 5) or, in love, warned believers to avoid false doctrine and grow to be like Christ with all truth and discernment (Philippians 1, many other epistles). The God of love is also a God of truth, and a Christian's discernment can be practiced with love and hope that the deceptive teacher will repent and correct his false teaching.
I know God has used others to correct my own wrong notions about "perfect" families, and even what the future eternal existence of a Christian will be (hint: it's not just a spiritual nonphysical realm!). Thus I hope also that those professing to believe the Gospel of grace will speak and listen to one another accordingly, not making or hearing arguments based on man-made logic or inference from Scripture, but based on Scripture rightly applied, pointing to the Gospel.
Grace and peace!

Participants in the annual Daddy/Daughter Date Night last Friday would agree, as the words were echoed over the music, again and again, the best part of the evening is spending time together. But to see it in action, the evening appears to be, at least for the young ladies, all about the dresses, the shoes, the complimentary sunglasses, dancing (with or without Dad) and loud music. For the dads, much of the evening was spent focusing the camera, or video recorder, on their princess.
The Cheraw Parks, Recreation and Leisure Services Department has been sponsoring the event since 1998, and some families have taken part every year, said Lisa O'Neal, assistant director for the recreation department. The event has continued to grow in size and popularity. "This year we sold 250 tickets," she said.
Gerald Butler has been escorting his daughter, Maquitta, to the event since she was 4 years old. She's now a freshman at Cheraw High School. "Each year is different," Butler said. "She's gone from tiaras to evening gowns."
Music was provided by DJ K. Smooth and was complete with disco lights. The evening included a meal and door prizes. The opportunity for daddy and daughter to be professionally photographed by Reid McBride also was available during the event.
If you have any doubts about how much fun these young ladies were having with their dads, their siblings and friends; perhaps the big grin on young Akeelah Douglas' face can sum it up for you.

Following a career in biology is a rewarding experience for anyone interested in asking questions, making observations, collecting and evaluating evidence, and solving problems about how the natural world around us works.
Biologists focus on learning about living organisms ranging from individual cells to complex structures like plants and animals. They may study specialized subcellular structures like vacuoles or ribosomes, or they may research how living things interact with each other and evolve over time. Biological scientists' research findings are critical to helping us understand the natural world around us so that we can solve complex problems involving diseases, food supplies, and environmental issues.
Planning Your Future as a Biologist
If you are interested in becoming a biologist, it's best if you start early at the high school level by taking a variety of courses in chemistry, math and physics as well as in biology. This will help you determine that you really do have an aptitude for this field of study and give you time to explore some possible career options. And high school is a great time to participate in biological science learning activities like a biology club or science fair that can help you get some hands-on scientific training as well as provide an additional highlight on your college entrance application.
It's also a good idea to actually spend some time talking with biological professionals working in several sub-specialties that you are considering. Arrange an interview with your high school biology teacher, if that is a job that you might be considering.
Or see if your dentist or veterinarian might be able to spare a few minutes to discuss what led them to their profession and what they like and dislike most about it. Most professionals are happy to spend some time answering questions about their careers if you take the time to approach them and set an appointment that fits into their schedule.
Finally, it is very important that you carefully consider your college options, especially since the biological sciences field is such a large one. You want to be sure that you spend your time and your hard-earned money at a reputable institution that will offer classes in whatever area of biology that you are particularly interested in. A school with a great agricultural biology department may not be so good for someone who is planning a career in microbiology.
Take time to research all of the schools that you are interested in by talking to your high school guidance counselor, and to admissions counselors, current students, and faculty at the schools you are considering. Whenever possible, do a campus visit to get a feel not only for the school itself, but for the surrounding area as well.
You will also have to decide how much education you will actually need to achieve your career goals since this will factor heavily in which college you decide to attend. An associate's degree in biology may be sufficient to work as a research assistant in a university, medical or industrial laboratory. But realistically most jobs in the biological sciences require a minimum of a bachelor's degree, with a master's degree offering better career opportunities and payrates. And if you want to conduct research, you will definitely need to obtain a doctorate which will likely take 5 or 6 years of intense training to complete.
Starting Your Career in the Biological Sciences
Once you have been accepted to the school of your choice and are on your way to becoming a professional biological scientist, there are a few tips that will help you get your career started right. First of all, introduce yourself to a your faculty advisor or guidance counselor if one is assigned to you. They can give you advice on which classes will be most useful for you, help you evaluate your career path options, and even point you towards job opportunities.
Secondly, once you have completed the basic introductory courses, you can ask your biology professors if they have any part-time jobs that will give you hands-on laboratory, field or research experience. This is a great way to make professional connections that can help you with letters of recommendation or job search networking in the future, and the extra money is always helpful, too.
And if working during the school year isn't something that's practical for you given your course load, there are always summer internships. Like other undergraduate jobs, internships help you gain experience and make contacts that can be helpful to you throughout your career. And they also reflect well on you if you choose to apply for graduate biology programs as well.
Job Options for Biological Science Students
As a student or recent graduate with a degree in biology, you have a wide range of career options available to you.
Research biologists, as their name implies, are focused on using current scientific tools and techniques to study the natural world. Depending on their field of study, they may work in a laboratory setting, or in the field in exotic locations.
Biologists who specialize in health care include veterinarians, public health workers, physicians, dentists, and epidemiologists among other specialties. These biological scientists may be responsible for planning and conducting national or worldwide campaigns to eradicate or contain serious illnesses like AIDS or smallpox. Or they may work in the medical field to develop and test treatments for illnesses in human or animal populations.
And biologists in the specialized field of forensic biology work with the police and law enforcement to collect and analyze evidence in criminal cases.
Biologists who select careers in environmental management like conservation or hydrology want to preserve the natural world around us for future generations and solve environmental problems caused by businesses, human populations, and even natural disasters. Informing the public about potential or ongoing environmental issues, and working with governments, businesses and special interest groups to develop environmentally responsible procedures is an important part of their jobs.
Biology majors or graduates can also choose a career in teaching where they can help others discover the fascination of investigating the world around us, or asssit their students with specifically preparing for a biology career. Biology teachers not only work in school classrooms or university research labs, but they can also be found in museums, aquariums, zoos, national parks, and nature centers. In all of these areas they share their knowledge through lectures, workshops, exhibits, and even tours and nature hikes if appropriate. Depending on their position they may also oversee student research projects and manage research programs.
Biologists who specialize in the field of biotechnology are generally found in the medical, food science or agricultural sectors where they focus on making technological advances by developing new products or new strains of crops, or by enhancing existing ones through additional features and capabilities.
For those who are even more technically oriented, specializations like computational biology and bioinformatics rely heavily on mathematical techniques in order to solve complex biological problems like gene sequencing and generating ecosystem models.
It's no surprise that biologists conduct research and development work with pharmaceutical companies and scientific manufacturing firms to synthesize and test new products. But biological scientists can also use their specialized skills in the marketing, public relations and even sales departments of these organizations as well.
And moving even further out of the laboratory, biological scientists are often in demand as advisors in governmental and legal areas regarding biomedical research and environmental concerns. They can help legislators and attorneys understand complex scientific principles and interpret research findings so that informed decisions can be made regarding public policy or legal issues.
Biologists can also focus on the economic impact of biological issues and help governments and other agencies balance the need to protect the environment, save an endangered species, or minimize pollution with the costs of safety measures or the use of alternative "green" technologies.
The specialized field of science writing is another possible career path for graduates with a biology degree. Keeping the public informed about new discoveries and environmental and health issues is very important, and journalists and writers with a strong biological background who can accurately yet clearly convey scientific information in layman's terms are always needed.
And for biologists with artistic talent, the area of biological illustration can be a lucrative one. The old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words really is true, and biological illustrators who can generate accurate and detailed illustrations for textbooks, trade publications, or even newspapers and magazines targeted towards the general public can usually find work.

Am i missing something or is the discount for even 99 copies really only 7p per book????
Out of interest i kept adding copies to my basket, and it still was only 7p (quoted below). My book is a 7.5 square colour softback perfect bound. (Cost price per book of about £9)
"Bulk savings have been applied to your cart. £0.07 off individual print costs of 25 to 99 copies"
A few years back didn't bulk ordering of even 25 get you a good discount? Where did the deals go?

If people don't think 99 is the slightest bit of a bulk order (£900!) - and think it's ok to only get 7p per book off (wooo!!) - it seems lulu is no longer for the very skint occasional author who would have bought about 100 to start off with to try and sell themselves.
Lulu must only want either rich people, or professional career authors, or basically anyone but skint ol me
And by the every single one of my published print books now say "hmm we can't find that product" when clicked on, lulu changed all old ones to ebooks and have got rid of my print copy!!!! Without asking!! And i read in another thread staff saying "just remake the book, you will still have the files" - but surely that isn't the point
No, in the printing world 99 is far from bulk. The POD/BOD machines only go at one speed I would imagine, and that is slow, whereas on a normal machine printing off 5,000 it can go so fast you cannot see the print-offs! I doubt on a print run using a POD/BOD machine there is little in the way to be saved.
The point though is that lulu used to knock about 10% off for about 25, if i remember correctly, and more off more books.
Now it is only 7p per book if buying 99.
Lulu only want well off people nowadays
Could someone please point me to this? I would lke to order about 100 or so books as well. Can't figure out how to go about it.
I appreciate any help.
Every Lulu page at the bottom used to have a link to Bulk Printing, it has now vanished, and a Search does not come up with anything about it, but Lulu staff in reply to someone else did give a link to it, look for that on the forums.
I appreciate your response. I have searcehd every way I can imagine for the link you speak of, but find nothing but this thread that seems half-way relevant.
The poster who states above that there is a new band set, doesn't speicify how he came across this information, nor where to make an order using this information.
Guess I'll head for the support page and see if they can help me out a bit more. Again thanks for your help.

The latest issue of the journal Nature Climate Change included what might be viewed as a scholarly good-news/bad-news riff on future supplies of fresh water around the world. The good news, as described here by my colleague Justin Gillis, is that climate change is likely to lead to a greater number of fierce rainstorms, which could do more to recharge groundwater aquifers in some parts of the world.
The bad news is that climate change is likely to lead to smaller snowpacks in mountain ranges and even on lower ground throughout the Northern Hemisphere, from the Cascades, Rocky Mountains and Sierra Nevada in the western United States.to the Himalayas and the Urals on the other side of the globe.
The studyby Noah Diffenbaugh, a Stanford University climate scientist, suggests that within two generations' time, these areas will be experiencing years of low snowfall far more often than they have in the past three decades.
Not all of the billion or more people in the drainage basins fed by snowfall will suffer severe consequences if this comes to pass . In India, for example, monsoon rains provide a large portion of the water. But in places like Pakistan, Central Asia and parts of China that are more dependent on what Dr. Diffenbaugh, an assistant professor of earth system sciences, calls "hard water" — glaciers and snow — water supplies are likely to become more irregular.
The study, which presented a variety of situations reflecting the range of predictions on the extent of warming, showed that if global temperatures rise 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) beyond what they were in pre-industrial times, about 30 percent of the planet's winters are increasingly likely to produce seasonal snowfall below the current record low levels. What now happens once a decade or even more rarely would happen every three years or so within a couple of generations.
The worries about California's water resources, given the state's dependence on snow melt, have already been well chronicled, and western states that agreed in 1922 to divvy up the waters of the Colorado River have also been studying the problem as average flows have decreased. Dr. Diffenbaugh said that Pakistan, too, is making the issue a centerpiece of its reports on the potential impacts of climate change.
But all predictions based on computer projections have inherent uncertainties. What is more, a time horizon of two generations — 40 to 60 years — is short for engineers anywhere in the world, who build water-delivery systems designed to last 75 years or more. "Anywhere where the management system has been built" based on historic experience, Dr. Diffenbaugh said, "there is a potential for impact."
"There's a clear shift in these regions towards not only more precipitation falling as rain, but earlier melt of what does fall," he said.

Woodwardian Siege Engine
Posted 15 April 2012 - 11:13 AM
Woodward is well known for its Artisans, but beyond the surface of peaceful craftsmanship you will find experiments in war technology. Woodward has just finished its very first war machine. Built with fine mechanics it also requires magic only known to a few master smiths. Scientific curiosity and ancient knowledge of magic work hand in hand in the workshops of Woodward. The usefulness and effectiveness of this machine can be doubted, but what would the world be without the dreams and work of some pioneers?
This machine can launch up to 5 missiles over a longer distance than man could possibly throw. The power that moves it is provided by a petty soul trapped in the machine, while the control of movement is based on mechanics. With this build I claim the title of Siege Expert!
All hail Avalonia!

Well yeah, I might be moving on the edge here. But as Zcerberus pointed out to me earlier these title builds should be used to improve your skills and be creative. This little build here took me more time to finish than any other MOC I have built so far. There are actually many moving parts here that work. Also the snot legs took me quite a while.

Obama administration
CNN goes rogue
Thanks to Andrew Johnson and NRO's Corner for drawing attention to the highly entertaining Anderson Cooper/Drew Griffin report on "Obama's high-speed rail boondoggle." Johnson writes: "Cooper and investigative reporter Drew Griffin reported that, while the administration sold its $12 billion in projects as high-speed rail, the funding has spent has largely been used to make existing trains slightly faster. In Washington State, for instance, $800 million have been used to »
NPR goes rogue
Reader EC advises: We interrupt this forum for a special bulletin: *****NPR HAS GONE ROGUE***** They just broadcast an hour-long episode of "This American Life," which was a devastating critique of the disability program. Devastating. They called it the new default welfare program, pointing out that it costs the taxpayers vastly more than all other welfare programs put together. They went on and on and on and on and on »
Tom Lipscomb: "How do you know they'll print it?"

Tom argues that the media's allegiance to the Democratic Party is suppressing news: In one of the »
The talented Mr. Perez
The Wall Street Journal has devoted an excellent reported editorial to Thomas Perez, Obama's nominee to head the Department of Labor. The editorial is tightly focused on the lengths to which Perez went to induce the City of St. Paul into withdrawing its appeal of the fair housing lawsuit that raised the viability of claims based on disparate impact. The City of St. Paul's petition for Supreme Court review had »
That's how they roll
That the sequester has thrown the Obama administration for a loop is understandable. President Obama, riding a long winning streak, may well have believed that Republicans would back down in the face of his threats to demagogue the issue. And he almost surely believed that, if he demagogued the issue, a clear majority of the public would take his side. So naturally, when things didn't work out that way, the »
Obama's Perverse Appointment of Tom Perez to Head the Department of Labor
We wrote extensively about Tom Perez during his scandal-ridden tenure at the Department of Justice, and Paul has written about him here, here and here in the context of President Obama's nominating Perez to be Secretary of Labor. There are many good reasons to oppose Perez's nomination, but perhaps the most fundamental is that Perez stands in opposition to the founding purpose of the Department of Labor. The legislation authorizing »
Barry and the Beanstalk
There are a couple of topics on which I still intend to do substantial posts, but the one just below on the Second Amendment and sugary drinks burned up much of my evening.

President Obama, the Democrats' big 2014 obstacle
By now, I think it's clear to everyone who follows politics that President Obama's domestic policies are fixed around one objective. That objective is gaining control of the House of Representatives in the 2014 election so that his final two years at the White House will bring a bang, not a whimper. Flush with his success in November, Obama initially believed he could achieve this goal via the same means »

Obama seeks to add quota king and probable perjurer to cabinet
The word is that President Obama has settled on Thomas Perez as his nominee to be Secretary of Labor. That nomination would continue the trend of atrocious, in-your-face, leftist nominees that has characterized Obama's second term. We first wrote about Perez when Obama nominated him to head the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice. As I explained on Power Line and in a Wasington Times op-ed, Perez had »
Were it not for a a single post at the Weekly Standard, Michelle Obama and John Kerry would have presented the International Women of Courage Award to Samira Ibrahim on Friday afternoon.

In Washington for the ceremony, Ibrahim first pleaded »
Abu Ghaith's day in court
The New York Times reports: Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, a son-in-law of Osama bin Laden who once served as a spokesman for Al Qaeda, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment on Friday morning in federal court in Manhattan, where he was charged with conspiring to kill Americans. Now you may be wondering what is going on here. "Mr. Abu Ghaith" as the Times refers to him, is charged with conspiracy to »
Brennan's oath
John Brennan took the oath on his swearing in as DCIA today on a draft of the Constitution. The photo is below. Commentators on the photograph make something of the fact that the draft Brennan swore on lacked the Bill of Rights. Has anyone bothered to read the Federalist lately? Publius (Hamilton) in Federalist 84 makes the case that a bill of rights is unnecessary and perhaps even dangerous to »
Samira Ibrahim speaks
This afternoon Michelle Obama and John Kerry were scheduled to present the International Women of Courage Award to Samira Ibrahim and nine other women who have shown leadership in advocating for women's rights around the world. Ibrahim was included in recognition of her battle against the Egyptian army's infamous "virginity tests." Ibrahim was in Washington for the award ceremony today.

Infant Massage
Topic Overview
Many caregivers use infant massage to relax and promote the emotional bond with their baby. It can help relax your baby, prevent crying, and soothe and comfort your crying baby. Many hospitals and child care centers provide classes on infant massage.
Massage methods vary, but general recommendations stress finding the appropriate setting and using appropriate techniques.
- Find a time when you are relaxed and won't be interrupted. Be sure the baby is neither full nor hungry.
- Find a comfortable location and position. The room should be warm. Lay the baby on his or her back on a towel on a bed, the floor, or your lap.
- Use a warm (not hot) natural oil such as vegetable or olive oil. Slowly rub a little over the baby's body. Move your palms in clockwise, rhythmic circles on the baby's abdomen. Use only light pressure.
- Be sensitive to your baby. A newborn may enjoy only 2 to 5 minutes of massage.
- Do not massage a sick or feverish child.
