Where did I say anything about anyone refusing to be baptized? Nowhere. Are you going to continue arguing with your strawman or are you going to respond to what I'm actually saying?
I am saying that a person is saved immediately upon repenting and believing in Christ just as we can see happened with Cornelius and his household in Acts 10:43-47. They happened to get water baptized right after that because they were by water and...why not? But what if there wasn't any water nearby? That wouldn't change the fact that they were saved.
See, where you are hugely mistaken is in your belief that Cornelius and his househould were not yet saved when they received the Holy Spirit before being water baptized. You don't even recognize when people are saved. Unsaved people don't have the Spirit in them and don't manifest gifts of the Spirit like Cornelius and his household did before getting water baptized. Until you acknowledge the truth that they were saved, baptized with the Spirit and born of the Spirit before being water baptized you will remain in error and continue to spread your false doctrine.
You didn't answer the question I asked about 1 Cor 12:13. When are you going to acknowledge the truth that 1 Cor 12:13 says that the baptism of the Holy Spirit places us in the body of Christ rather than water baptism? You point to Mark 16:16 and Acts 2:38 over and over again but you clearly have no understanding whatsoever of passages like Acts 10:34-43 and 1 Cor 12:13. And your doctrinal bias leads you to the silly conclusion that in 1 Peter 3 Peter was teaching that Noah and his family were saved by the flood waters rather than the ark, as is clearly taught in Hebrews 11:7. You are completely unable to reconcile these other passages with your interpretation of Mark 16:16 and Acts 2:38 but you won't even acknowledge that.
The doctrine of men: Cornelius and his household, despite having already received the Spirit and manifested gifts of the Spirit, were not yet saved and still had to be water baptized to be saved.
The word of God: Acts 10:43-48 says Cornelius and his household received the Spirit before being water baptized, therefore they were saved before being water baptized. No one receives the Spirit and is not saved as a result. Unsaved people do not have the Spirit dwelling in them.
The doctrine of men: People's sins are forgiven and they enter the body of Christ (the church) as a result of water baptism performed by man.
The word of God: 1 Cor 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
Are you ever going to address the fact that water baptism is water baptism and not water birth? Baptism and birth are not the same thing. Can you show me even one other verse in scripture where water baptism is referred to as being born of water or something similar?
(1 John 5:6 NIV) This is the one who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. (7) For there are three that testify: (8) the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.
What exactly was the method then?
Jesus didn't tell anyone to follow the Jewish wedding rituals, He did however, tell his disciples to baptize those who would believe.Baptism was a social custom just like any other social custom. Take for instance, the Jewish marriage customs of the first century. What is the essential thing we need to know about marriage in order to obey our Lord? Do we need to practice the first century Jewish marriage customs to obey our Lord? Or do we need to be faithful to our spouse, treat them with love and respect, provide for their needs, and live in harmony with them? I would say that we need to live according to God's moral vision, and allow for the fact that this vision will look slightly differently according to custom. It isn't the custom of baptism that we need to obey; rather, we need to do what the baptism represents, which is to become a disciple of Christ.
Again, you make assumptions, show me where Scripture teaches that the thief was already saved. I am not going to explain Tim's position on baptism, However, I would have thought after all of these years you would have understood my position, I don't believe that Baptism is the place where God "guarantees" salvation will take place. The place where God guarantees that salvation will take place is when has endured to the end. The statement, he who believes and is baptized shall be saved, assumes obedience until the end. Baptism is the point where one becomes "In Christ". As Paul said, as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. In water baptism on is appealing to God for the cleaning of their sins, if they come in faith they can know that God will forgive their "Past" sins, it is at this point that they become a member of the church and a member of the body of Christ.According to your view, as you have said before, Baptism is the God-given occasion when he guarantees that salvation will take place. I have never seen you defend this position yourself, but I have read Tim Warner's paper in which he explains this position. As I recall, he decided from his investigations on the subject that Baptism was not required for salvation, but he concluded that Baptism was the only Biblically specified guaranteed occasion in which God promised to save someone. He might save someone at an occasion other than Baptism, but we do not have his word on that. We do, however, have his word that he will save those who believe and get baptized. Tim argues that God might save someone at some other time, say while hanging next to Jesus on a cross, but that there is no guarantee that God will save someone at any other time.
If I understand Tim's paper correctly, he was attempting to distance himself from the idea that water baptism was itself instrumental in the process of salvation, while at the same time maintaining his conviction that baptism was a Christian ordinance. He admitted that Jesus' word to the thief on the cross demonstrated that a man could be saved apart from water baptism and that water baptism was not serving as a means or an aid to salvation as such, but he concluded that while baptism was NOT a means or an aid to salvation, it was most definitely a prescribed occasion for salvation. In his view, we can nail down the time and place of our salvation according to God's promise in terms of when we got water baptized provided we believed and repented at that time.
According to Tim, then, the necessity of baptism is seen, not in terms of it's utility as a means to salvation, but as the occasion when salvation would necessarily become available to the penitent. In his view, it can be seen that baptism continues to have intrinsic value; even while the act itself doesn't function as a means for salvation, it functions as a prescribed moment when God will guarantee the penitent his favor. The weakness in his position, as I see it, is his unproven assumption that baptism has intrinsic value. He assumes, without proof, that baptism is an essential action in the service of being saved, wholly independent of other aspects of being saved. While he came to admit that Baptism was not essential to salvation in the utilitarian sense of a sacrament, as a Christian ordinance, he believed that God decreed it as the sacred occasion of salvation and as such, baptism continued to have intrinsic value in itself.
The Biblical witness, however, suggests that baptism only has extrinsic value as a formal religious ceremony in which the penitent makes a solemn pledge to become a disciple of Jesus Christ. Apart from that, it served no purpose. We find that baptism has no property or feature or function that has value independent of a pledge to become his disciple. Baptism is not the guaranteed occasion of God's favor; rather baptism is the occasion of our pledge to be a disciple of Christ, and as such it only has value if we actually and genuinely mean what we say.
The reason why the thief on the cross was saved, is because he had the heart for God, trusted in Jesus Christ, believed what Christ said about himself, and appealed to his mercy. His sanctification/regeneration had already taken place, by the spirit of God, not by a water baptism. The thief on the cross demonstrated salvation by sanctification, which is essentially the way we all get saved.
What part of the water of the new birth still stumps you? According to Paul the old man of sin goes down into the water and is buried into the death of Christ i.e., renewed and regenerated by the working of the Holy Spirit the new man (born anew) comes up out of the water to walk in newness of life born of water and the Spirit -the washing of regeneration. The one who comes up out of the water of baptism has then been united with him in a death like his baptized into Christ Jesus. There is no other way to be in Christ than to be baptized in water into His death.
Have you ever been baptized into the death of Christ? If you have when and where did this take place? Please provide scriptures. You have always walked away from this question - try answering this time. Is the baptism noted by Paul in Romans 6:3-5 a baptism in water - a burial into the death of Christ as the believer is submerged in water? Think before you answer.Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. (Romans 6:3-5 ESV)I have addressed you doubts on many occasions. Titus 3:5 tells us the same thing noted by Jesus in John 3:5 and Paul in Romans 6. In the washing of regeneration washing refers to the laver - the baptismal font and baptism in water is designed specifically by God to be the visible instrument of regeneration via the interworking and influence of the Holy Spirit thus one is born of water and the Spirit. It takes one who is slow to think or one who is so blinded by their sectarian biases to miss this simply truth.
"Are ye ignorant that we were baptized into his death? To those who are not ignorant the sign of baptism speaks of death. To be baptised means to be immersed, to be sunk in a foreign element, to be covered by a tide of purification. The man who emerges from the water is not the same man who entered it. One man dies and another is born.." ~ Karl Barth, "Commentary on Romans"he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:5 ESV)
Titus 3:5
By the washing of regeneration - Undoubtedly the apostle here means baptism, the rite by which persons were admitted into the Church, and the visible sign of the cleansing, purifying influences of the Holy Spirit, which the apostle immediately subjoins. Baptism is only a sign, and therefore should never be separated from the thing signified; but it is a rite commanded by God himself, and therefore the thing signified should never be expected without it. ~ Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible
Maybe he means the Spirit of God witnessed Jesus as being the Son of God at the baptism of Jesus in water just as the same Spirit witnesses the believer becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ as the believer is baptized in water - baptized into union with the risen Savior. What do you think?
OK, first let's make sure we stay on target. I never said there was a guarantee. Having said that there is very good reason why the 2nd, 3rd or 4th generation Christians would have an advantage. For one thing they saw the errors that the apostolic churches had, secondly they had the writings from the apostles that the apostolic churches didn't. If someone came into the church teaching a false doctrine 3 months after Paul left a church, they had no way to know it was false (Unless it was blatantly against Scripture) until they could contact Paul or one of the other apostles. However, Irenaeus could easily spot a false teacher coming into his church because he had read the writings of Paul, John, Peter, James, etc. The apostolic church didn't have this luxury. The same could be said for Tertullian and the others.
That is not what I said. I didn't say there was guarantee and I didn't say they should be trusted because they were closer to the apostles. I said they were in a better place to understand what the apostles were teaching than we are. This is just a plain fact. Concerning trust there are other factors that are necessary to consider. I don't trust Irenaeus simply because he was close the time of the apostles, Valentinus, Cerinthus and Menander were close to the time of the apostles also but I don't believe what they taught. When considering the ECF's one must take into account other factors, such as, was there unanimity in the teaching of a certain doctrine, can we find the apostles teaching this doctrine, was this doctrine taught universally over the known world, or was it something only taught in one or two locales? If all of the writers were in agreement and a doctrine was taught all over the known world then it is very likely apostolic doctrine. One only need look to the teaching of the apostles to verify the teaching.I'm saying that proximity to an apostle is no guarantee of the veracity of what a person writes. If you think that an ECF should be trusted because they had proximity to the Apostles, then you can not defend that idea, since it can be shown from scripture that proximity to an apostle, let alone all twelve, was no sure prescription against making a mistake or coming down on the wrong side of a false teaching. A person can't get any closer to an apostle than having his personal attention. And if having his personal attention was no guarantee of orthodoxy, then men who simply had access to their writings have less of a guarantee of orthodoxy.
We are to understand what Jesus taught, however, we are not to reinterpret what Jesus taught. We are not to take His or the apostles teachings and change them to suit our tastes which is what many Christians do, as is the case here where you are taking baptism out of the teaching of both Jesus and the apostles.The idea that each disciple is personally responsible to understand what Jesus said and to learn from him is axiomatic and goes without saying. Even as we both agree that the Apostles served to explicate what Jesus said, we also understand that we are his disciples, not disciples of the Apostles or the ECF's for that matter.
You keep saying this, that doesn't make it so. The eunuch made that confession, why do you suppose the Phillip went ahead and baptized him then?The idea of being "born of water" is metonomy for a confession of repentance. As we learn from Acts 19, the phrase being "baptized into" John, indicates when someone has affirmed the teaching of John, who taught the people to repent of their sins and believe in him who would come after him. To be born of water, then is to have been baptized in water according to the proviso that a person affirmed the need for repentance and to believe in him who would come later. When Jesus told Nicodemus that a person must be born of water and of spirit, he was saying that a person must both repent of his sins and have the Spirit of God transform him internally.
OH come on, 1400 years of Christians all teaching the same doctrine is not evidence. It seems someone is in denial.I do not agree with your premise that 1400 years of church doctrine is evidence. The only thing that remains as evidence for us, is the Bible; and the only thing that has authority over us is the word of Jesus.
Yes it is, there is nothing in Scripture that says the method of becoming a disciple would change. You can hang on to culture if you like but culture is not Biblical.No, a disciple is one who learns wisdom from his master and is able to apply that wisdom to real world circumstances. In the real world, baptism is no longer practiced as the formalize ritual associated with a solemn promise to become a disciple of Jesus Christ. As such, a call to modern baptism isn't commensurate or it doesn't correspond to Biblical baptism. It no longer makes sense to preach baptism unless it is understood by modern Christians that the sole function of baptism is a commitment to a life as Christ's disciple. Simply repeating Mark 16:16 is meaningless.
Paul makes a direct connection between being baptized in water and participation in the resurrection. He didn't say anything about any other method.
Baptized by the Holy Spirit??? I thought it was Jesus who baptized "With" the Holy Spirit. I believe your conclusion here is in error. According to Peter being baptized with the Spirit is a manifestation of the Spirit's power. Does that happen to everyone who believes?
Peter was sent by God to present to Cornelius the 'words by which he would be saved'. The words presented by Peter to Cornelius included the command to be baptized for the remission of sins just as Peter presented to those 3000 souls on the Day of Pentecost. Cornelius and his house obeyed that command and they were immersed in water. It wasn't the 'falling of the Holy Spirit" that saved Cornelius it was his obedience to the gospel of Christ and that gospel has always included the command to be *baptized for the remission of sins* (Acts 2:38). Of course you already know this.
One of my favorite verses that reinforces the importance of baptism in water. The act of baptism in water points to the "inward experience of the Holy Spirit" as the believer is born of water and the Spirit. Thanks for sharing.1 Cor 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.The reference is to a definite act in the past, probably to the inward experience of the Holy Spirit symbolized by the act of baptism. ~ WORD PICTURES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, Robertson
What do you mean? The method was immersion in water. The point is, water baptism isn't something Jesus invented or started. It was a well established custom already.
Actually, Jesus didn't tell his disciples to baptize. He didn't have to tell them something they would already do by custom. He is telling them to make disciples in his name, rather than making disciples in their own name.Jesus didn't tell anyone to follow the Jewish wedding rituals, He did however, tell his disciples to baptize those who would believe.
Scripture often uses narrative to teach. The story of the thief on the cross teaches us that the thief was a child of God.Again, you make assumptions, show me where Scripture teaches that the thief was already saved.
Where is this taught?Baptism is the point where one becomes "In Christ".
Perhaps you didn't read my post earlier. I showed from Acts 19 that the phrase "baptized into" is a metonymy referring to a person's entrance into discipleship. To be "baptized into" Christ is to agree and affirm the teachings of Christ.As Paul said, as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
I see no Biblical evidence for this view.In water baptism on is appealing to God for the cleaning of their sins, if they come in faith they can know that God will forgive their "Past" sins, it is at this point that they become a member of the church and a member of the body of Christ.
Here you are making stuff up. To stay on target, let's stick with the scriptures. Also, know that I will never be convinced by any quote from the ECF's so let's never go there again please. If you quote them again, I will simply ignore your citation.
Saying that it doesn't make is so isn't helpful. If you have another interpretation of Acts 19, then give it.You keep saying this, that doesn't make it so.
I don't see the relevance of your question to the point I made. Nevertheless, the example of the Ethiopian eunuch is another example that supports my contention that baptism was already an established custom. A traveler all the way from Ethiopia, didn't need to be taught about baptism; he already knew the customary ritual.The eunuch made that confession, why do you suppose the Phillip went ahead and baptized him then?
Does that seem incredible? Did you know that Catholic apologists use the ECF's to argue for other false doctrines such as Apostolic succession for instance?OH come on, 1400 years of Christians all teaching the same doctrine is not evidence. It seems someone is in denial.
Really, well wake up and smell the coffee. It has, so what are we going to do about it?Yes it is, there is nothing in Scripture that says the method of becoming a disciple would change.
Let's get over this okay? Everyone has cultural practices and some of these made their way into the scriptures.You can hang on to culture if you like but culture is not Biblical.
Where?Paul makes a direct connection between being baptized in water and participation in the resurrection. He didn't say anything about any other method.

We bought this for additional storage, dining and counter space. The quality is very good and assembly was relatively easy. The instructions were very well written and illustrated. The white paint does seem like it could chip off easily if not careful, but touch up should be pretty easy.

Round Barbados Race Series 2013 – Massive start for busy sailing year
'Mount Gay Rum Round Barbados Race 2013' Peter Marshall
Click Here to view large photo
The Round Barbados Race Series 2013 will kick off its 77th anniversary with the staging of Mount Gay Rum Round Barbados Race on Errol Barrow Day, Monday, January 21. Competing crews are expected to come all out as they try to steer their boats to victory in the opening salvo of what would be a very busy sailing calendar in the island.
The island's 2013 international sailing calendar will get off to a massive start when the 77th anniversary of the Round Barbados Race Series is celebrated this weekend. With the feature race, the Mount Gay Rum Round Barbados Race, scheduled for Errol Barrow Day, on Monday, January 21, crews of the participating vessels will be putting all on the line as they vie to win their captain's weight in rum.
The event started in 1936 with five trading schooners racing for bragging rights to be the fastest vessel in local waters, which brought with it the ability to attract more business. Since being resurrected in 2011, the series has evolved to include another feature which has been dubbed the Two Restaurants Race. This year's race will proceed as usual with vessels going from Cruising Club to marks off Beach House on the West Coast and Tapas on the South on Saturday morning from 11 a.m. New to the programme this year is the Antigua Open Race, which has a main function of linking the Round Island Race to the Super Yacht Challenge in Antigua. Wednesday's 300-mile journey is hoped to bring some of the world's largest yachts to Barbados in the coming years.

UNION — The Boston Marathon was upended on Monday when explosions went off near the finish line, leaving at least two dead and dozens injured.
"The farthest thing in your mind when you're running is that something like that could happen," said Lockhart native Kellie Eaves, who completed last year's Boston Marathon and is believed to be the only athlete hailing from Union County to have ever competed in the prestigious event.
Eaves said she watched in disbelief as news of Monday's terror in Massachusetts was aired. Last year, she described crossing the finish line as one of the most exciting moments in her life. On Monday, Eaves attempted to put herself in the place of athletes participating in this year's race.
"I wonder what the people who were right there must've been thinking," said Eaves. "You want to continue running because that's what you've trained to do, you want to get to that finish line. Something like that happening must take you completely out of your current situation. The look on this one man's face was like he thought he might've been shot or hit by something — he didn't know what had happened."
The two blasts occurred well after the top runners had completed the race, but while thousands of other competitors were still on the 26.2-mile (42-kilometer) course, some of whom were approaching the end of the race where the blasts occurred.
About two hours after the winners — Lelisa Desisa of Ethiopia and Rita Jeptoo of Kenya — crossed the finish line, there was a loud explosion on the north side of Boylston Street, just before the photo bridge that marks the finish line. Another explosion could be heard a few seconds later.
Boston Marathon officials told news outlets that bombs caused the explosions and that race organizers were working with authorities to determine what happened.
"I can imagine it was extremely scary for those people who were there, about to have the most exciting moment of their lives, then have it be so tormenting instead," said Eaves, who finished the 2012 Boston Marathon with a time of four hours and four minutes.
On Monday, competitors and race volunteers cried and fled the chaos in a panic. Bloody spectators were being carried to the medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners.
"I dealt with heat during last year's race and I keep thinking, That's nothing compared to what they're going through right now," said Eaves. "This is just shocking."

Heron's Nest: Corbett on the Penn State issue
I was part of a group of newspaper editors invited to the Governor's Mansion Thursday to discuss his upcoming budget and looming pension crisis. You can find out how that went here.
But there was something else I was dying to ask him about. It shouldn't be hard to figure out what.
Unless you've been out of the country or under a rock, you know that the governor has decided to wade back into the Jerry Sansusky morass. And he's taking a ton of heat for his decision to file a class-action lawsuit against the NCAA for those hefty sanctions they slapped on Penn State in the wake of the Sandusky scandal.
One of the biggest bones of contention is the fact that when the sanctions were announced back in July, Corbett, who as governor is a member of the school's board of trustees, urged them to accept the penalty as a "corrective measure." Now, however, he's castigating the NCAA as not "playing by the rules," in particular their own rules and procedures, piling on Penn State, and using the Nittany Lions to prop up their own sagging reputation as the overseer of big-time college athletics.
So I asked him straight out what happened during those six months and when he first started to have a change of heart.
To his credit he never blinked an eye.
Corbett explained once again that when he made his statement in July that Penn State should accept the sanctions, that was based on the evidence he had at the time.
The governor is a former U.S. Attorney and state Attorney General. He still approaches his job like a prosecutor. He said that as he gathered more "facts," he started to realize that the NCAA didn't follow the rules. In fact they didn't follow their own procedures, according to the governor.
He realizes he faces an uphill fight in his war with the NCAA, and he is well aware of the beating he's taking in the media, this newspaper included, with the prominent exception of my columnist Gil Spencer, who is firmly in the governor's corner.
When I asked him if he was surprised at how strong the backlash has been, he quickly responded, "No." Continued...
He's also not buying those who make the argument that this only proves that nothing has been learned from the entire Penn State incident, that this is emblematic of the Penn State culture and the way big-time football is exalted in Happy Valley.
"You have to take the emotion out of it," Corbett said. "I looked at all the facts."
Today there is word that newly elected Democratic Attorney General Kathleen Kane is ready to make good on her campaign pledge to review Corbett's handling of the Sandusky case when he was sitting in that seat.
Aside from the timing of the lawsuit and his obvious flip-flop on the sanctions, there are still a lot of people out there who believe Corbett put the Sandusky matter on the back burner while he pushed ahead with the Bonusgate political corruption case. They believe that the Republican gubernatorial candidate was not exactly eager to take down Penn State and Joe Paterno. Now, they believe he's once again playing politics by seeking to prop up his flagging approval ratings by defending the honor of Penn State against the NCAA.
Corbett doesn't want to hear it.
"I didn't delay anything," Corbett said of the original investigation. "I'm a prosecutor, and I had to build the case," the governor said.
He really only asks one thing of his detractors. He wants them to read the 43-page complaint against the NCAA.
"It's pretty simple," he said. "They didn't have jurisdiction to do what they did."
So far polls show Pennsylvanians like the idea of the lawsuit against the NCAA. They're not quite as ready to do backflips over the job Corbett is doing as governor.
With Kane set to take office and weigh in on Corbett's handling of the affair, the Sandusky case isn't going away anytime soon. Continued...
Politically, Gov. Tom Corbett has decided to roll the dice with his lawsuit. If he wins, and the case goes to trial, it could bolster his hopes for a second term. If it gets tossed out, it's only going to make his political problems worse.
I get the feeling Corbett doesn't especially care about that. He doesn't think this is about politics. He thinks he's doing the right thing. He thinks the NCAA overstepped its bounds, didn't follow its own rules, and "piled on" Penn State.
And he doesn't care how it looks.
A visit to the Governor's Mansion & lowdown on Pa.'s pension crisis
I spent yesterday at the Governor's Mansion in Harrisburg and I can bring back this report to the people of Delaware County.
As public housing goes, it's a pretty nice joint.
Those aren't my words. Those come from Gov. Corbett himself.
So much for the frivolity.
Now for some serious news. Brace yourself, folks. The governor is about to tackle the pension mess this state finds itself in. It's not going to be pretty. It likely means everyone is going to have to make sacrifices. And I mean everyone. Are you listening, teachers? The governor has heard your lament, that you have done everything you were supposed to do, you made all your contributions, while others let the pension funds slink into a sea of red ink. Continued...
Now you're going to ask us to share in the sacrifice to fix the problem? Yeah, pretty much.
The day started with Budget Secretary Charles Zogby (you might remember his as the former Education Secretary) offering a review of just how bad the pension situation is and how we got there.
You can get all the details here.
The bottom line is it's real bad. Corbett likes to refer to it as the "tapeworm" in the budget process. The truth is the pension issues now threaten to eat up funds in the budget that could and should be allocated to other areas. With the governor's well-known aversity to hiking taxes, that does not leave a lot of wiggle room when it comes to righting the pension ship.
The state is looking at $41 billion in red ink tied to the two big public employee pension plans known as SERS and PSERS. The problems go back several administrations, at least back to 2001, when the multipliers were increased. Right after that the markets started to tank. In fact from 2002 to 2011 Corbett's figures show that investment earnings made up 71 percent of the funds. When the marketwent into a tailspin, and then over a cliff in 2008, funding for the pension plans began to lag. It's really never caught up.
I specifically asked the governor about that decision to increase the multipliers back in 2001, which many people believe was part of a lure to get the Legislature to back school choice legislation. The bills failed, but the multipliers went into effect, hiking pension funds for our elected representatives. Corbett didn't want any part of the school choice angle - aside from saying he continues to be for it - but did admit he wishes the multipliers had not been increased.
There also has been legislation over the years that capped employer contribution rates to provide some budget relief to the Commonwealth and local school districts.
Now the bill is due. And Corbett is no longer willing to "kick the can down the road," as we've been doing for years.
Almost everyone concedes that at a minimum the funds need to be converted from defined benefit to defined contribution funds. In other words, similar to the 401K plans the rest of us deal with every day. Sen. Dominic Pileggi, R-9, has legislation that will do just that for future employees.
But that doesn't solve the problem of the $41 billion in unfunded liability in the two pension plans.
That's the dilemma the governor faces. And he's ready to have at it, saying that everything is "on the table," including:
• Looking at structural changes to the system (read that going from defined benefit to defined contribution.
• Looking at benefit changes to employees. One thing under consideration is taking overtime pay out of the funding equation.
• Looking at accrual, retirement age and other factors
• Looking at risk-sharing.
We'll hear some of the particulars on Feb. 5, when Corbett delivers his budget address.
Then he's going to have to sell his plan to both the Legislature, as well as school boards and the powerful teachers' unions.
This one ought to be a doozy.
Buckle your seatbelts, folks, it's likely going to be a rough ride.
Ack-a-me stores sold again
Know how you can tell a real Philadelphia native. Ask them to pronouce the name of your local supermarket.
Everybody from Philly knows Acme is a three-syllable word.
At least it was to my dad.
As in Ack-a-me.
Maybe not for much longer. The troubled local grocery icon has been sold again. This time its parent company, Supervalu Inc., is selling off Malvern-based Acme and four other grocery chains.
Acme, along with Albertsons, Jewel-Osco, Shaw's and Star Market stores are going to AB Acquisition LLC, an investor group. Yeah, it doesn't sound like it has much to do with groceries to me, either.
Acme operates 112 stores across the region, with 10,000 employees. Here in Delaware County, Acme has about a dozen stores.
The chain has been struggling for years amid increased competition, in particular from huge stors such as Walmart and Target, who have jumped into the grocery wars, as well as upscale oulets such as Wegmans.
No word yet on the fate of the stores as well as workers.
Let's hope Ac-a-me stays around forever. We already lost A&P. We don't need to drop another local icon.
Pileggi takes aim at Philadelphia Traffic Court
Everybody has a horror story to tell about Philadelphia Traffic Court.
Sen. Dominic Pileggi, R-9, of Chester, apparently has heard enough.
The senator now has the troubled court in his crosshairs. Already the target of an FBI raid, as well as a blistering report that concluded that ticket-fixing is rampant in the court. the senator is ready to shut it down.
Pileggi said he will introduce a two-bill package this legislative session to shut Philadelphia Traffic Court down.
The report blasted Traffic Court as holding "two tracks of justice - one for the connected and another for the unwitting general public."
Pileggi wants to add a third track - that would take Philadelphia Traffic Court out of business.

The team continues to fabricate metal paneling for the interior. It's really starting to shape up.
I see you have put the power steering "inside", any more info on that?
Also on the quick change diff? Does that work with a Ford 8.8?
Hey Robert, its a Unisteer electric power steering unit with a Ididit shorty tilt steering column.
Not sure what you mean by the second question? The quick change differential is part of the quick change rear end.
How does it fit on the column, the standard set up is to have the steering unit near the engine?
Second question, do you replace the whole axle or just the diff??
Its a really really short steering column, the end of the column is still within the dash area. The u-joint from the steering column connects to the u-join of the power steering box right inside the cab/dash area before the engine bay.
We put in a complete aftermarket axle in, as this is a Factory Five kit car. Though to your previous question, you may want to check with Winters Performance.

Wind River Brings Own Android to Market
Embedded specialist Wind River strives to win mobile network users with hardware compliance and its own Android branding.
Wind River is wooing mobile phone manufacturers with test runs and optimization that should make Wind River Android particularly reliable. The Android platform should run especially well on on the OMAP3 platform, but other boards should not present a problem for the mobile and embedded development vendor. Some of their collaborators already include Adobe (Flash), PacketVideo (multimedia player) and Red Bend (firmware over-the-air). New versions of Wind River Android should appear quarterly and concurrent with Android updates. The Intel undertaking will also naturally sell worldwide support for its mobile operating system. Prices have not been announced.
Wind River has already been busy with Android in the past. With the components of its newest Android offering, Wind River plans to optimize the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) for its hardware for Android and provide other hardware compatibilities as to multimedia and boot-time acceleration. OEMs and other providers can build in Wind River bootup and termination screens along with extended functions such as gesture options for calls and sending SMS messages. Another example is modified phone functions such as the short/long press behavior of hard and soft keys.
With Texas Instruments, that is also a member of the Open Handset Alliance and the Limo Foundation, Wind River, which was recently acquired by Intel, entered a stragegic partnership in, among other things, Android and OMAP (Open Multimedia Application Platform). In November chip designer ARM instituted its own Android project. Meanwhile Qualcomm set up a new Innovation Center "focused on mobile open source platforms," with Android just among a few others.
The Linux-based mobile network system enhanced its multimedia capabilities in September with its new Android 1.6. It also provided multiple account and sychronization functions in its latest major update to 2.0 in October. Its newest release is Android 2.0.1.

A former high school standout at Salina Central, Hill recently ended an extended break from wrestling when he competed last month in the U.S. Police and Fire Championships in San Diego, a national meet open to all full time and retired peace officers and firefighters in the United States
A police sergeant and a member of the Tulsa, Okla., police department for 14 years, Hill had not wrestled competitively since 1995 when he was a member of the University of Oklahoma program.
"It was kind of like a time warp," said Hill, 37, of his return to the sport. "From the time I was warming up to the routine I used to do before hundreds and hundreds of matches. I felt like I was an 18-year-old kid again.
"I'm not as good as I was and I'm not smart enough to figure that out, but it felt great."
After Hill's success at the U.S. championships, he won't wait nearly so long before he competes again. He went unbeaten in the 185-pound division in both freestyle and Greco-Roman while in San Diego.
The two national titles have inspired Hill to compete in the World Police and Fire Championships, a biennial event that will be held in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in August of 2013. Last year's World Championships, held in New York City, attracted more than 10,000 competitors.
Hill moved with his family to Salina in 1991 -- prior to his junior year at Salina Central -- when his father, Jim Hill, was named police chief in Salina. Brian went 62-0 in his only two seasons with the Mustangs, winning individual state titles as a junior and senior.
He earned a scholarship at OU out of high school, and was a varsity letter winner his freshman and sophomore seasons. But an injury forced him to give up the sport before he completed his eligibility with the Sooners.
"The last time I wrestled competitively was in 1995 for the University of Oklahoma and I destroyed my shoulder wrestling against Oklahoma State," Hill said. "I had to go through a complete reconstruction of the shoulder. They paid my scholarship but the doctors wouldn't clear me to wrestle again."
Hill's recent return to wrestling came with some Salina and Saline County ties. He went to work as a volunteer assistant coach for Weston Harding at Collinsville High School, located north of Tulsa. Harding, a former Southeast of Saline standout, has led Collinsville to back-to-back Class 5A state titles in Oklahoma.
Harding's father, Gary Harding, also was Hill's head coach during his two seasons at Salina Central.
"The Salina connections were weird," Hill said. "I was just a volunteer assistant coach for Weston and that got me back into it."
After wrestling in the practice room with some of Collinsville's top athletes in the upper weights, he sought out even tougher competition. That included going to a Tulsa gym and working on takedowns with some of the area's professionals in mixed martial arts.
"Due to my position and being a field cop, I've always stayed in good physical condition," Hill said. "But the difference between top wrestling condition and where I was is pretty vast. It took me a while to get back there.
"I only had one match go the distance (during the national meet). My wind was good and I was able to get three pins in a row."
Hill said he was initially surprised by the level of competition at the national meet, which included many former NCAA Division I competitors like himself.
He had the option of participating in the 30-over age division or in the open division for competitors of all ages. He chose the open division in Greco-Roman, wanting to face the top level of competition.
Hill re-injured his shoulder earlier this year, but was able to wrestle at nationals despite the injury and now will have surgery again to repair the shoulder.
He believes his recovery time will have him ready to help with the high school program at Collinsville this winter, then a return to nationals and the world championships next summer in even better physical condition.
Although his return to wrestling reminded him of his younger days, it did come with one distinct difference.
"One thing that did feel different -- I had a four-year old and a seven-year old in my corner," said Hill, who has two children with his wife, Laura. "There were no coaches out there and when I came back between periods, my four-year-old daughter (Emerson) would towel me off and my seven-year-old son (Ethan) would give me water.
"Other than that, it was like I was a high school kid again."

Eric Wilson, Romantic Turbulence: Chaos, Ecology and American Space
Reviewed by
John Parham
Thames Valley University, UK
Eric Wilson's Romantic Turbulence is a helpful addition to ecocritical work, offering not only a new perspective on American Romanticism but, more generally, a sophisticated, dialectical understanding of the ecology articulated out of that tradition.
Wilson's primary argument is founded upon a detailed acquaintance with both contemporary ecological science and critical cultural theory. Drawing from these currents of thought, the conceptual paradigm that undergirds this book is a new organicism of "agitated processes," which eschews the (still) prevailing notions in ecological science of balance or harmony (4). Wilson defines this as a conception of nature shaped by antagonistic forces of chaos and order, the interaction of which equates with life. Without order nature "would dissolve into a formless mass," without chance "the second law of thermodynamics would run the universe down to heat death," an interesting argument he develops from C. S. Pierce and Prigogine and Stengers (142). This paradigm of dialectical ecology is not new, even to ecocriticism. It dominates recent, second generation work such as Greg Garrard's Ecocriticism (2004), and the attempt to establish a trajectory of ecological thinking around the Romantics is also a familiar one. What is distinctive, however, is the combination of the two and, in this, the book does what all good historical ecocriticism ought to do: it legitimates ecological thinking as part of a longer, alternative tradition in western literature, culture and philosophy that exists, and has value, independently of concerns about (say) global warming.
Wilson places the five writers considered in the book – Emerson, Fuller, Melville, Thoreau, Whitman – within the tradition of dialectical proto-ecological thinking via an impressive, expansive intellectual history reminiscent of the work of Laurence Buell. Wilson's writers sit "almost exactly in the middle" of that tradition which, as he argues, encompasses the early Gnostics and the Greek Philosophers (Thales, Heraclitus, Ovid), European Romantic philosophers such as Goethe and Coleridge, Nietzsche and Heidegger, and a host of contemporary theorists including Serres, Lyotard, and Deleuze and Guattari (8). Having placed the American Romantics within this history of ideas he then connects them thematically to emergent, contemporaneous scientific ideas – electromagnetic waves, atomism, evolution, energy physics – that were to shape ecological science. So, for example, Emerson is seen, in opposition to "traditional readings," as representing a notion of the "physical sublime" that arose from the science of Davy and Faraday and would replace its equivalent, the "transcendentalist sublime" (xxi). What Wilson also gives us, however, is a notion of how literature per se might articulate, and help us understand, ecological nature.

Old and New Come Together with Style |
Mario Iantosca is old school. He learned his trade from his father in Naples Italy,
where stonemasons have practiced their trade for thousands of years. When Mario immigrated to the Boston
area, he carried on the family tradition. He began installing brick, block and stone the old fashioned
way, with mortar and footings. When Allan Block was introduced in his area in the early 1990's, Mario
was one of the first to try the "new product". "My first Allan Block project was a set of three terraced walls, each about four ft. high (1.2 m). I made sure the walls were spaced properly and the rest was easy. With Allan Block, all you need is good crushed stone and some common sense. The blocks go together like butter on bread. I drive by that wall from time to time and it still looks great," says Mario. |
Steve and Civita Fulchini were just getting settled in to their new home in Hammersmith Village.
Their homeowner association required all landscaping to be completed much sooner than they had anticipated,
and knew they needed retaining walls. They stopped in at Linden and Malden Supply in Malden, MA and talked
to John Rappoli for advice. John, a long time Allan Block dealer through Gilbert Block, took them through
the AB Collections, explaining the price and color options along the way. Civita loved the look of the
AB Europa Collection, Allan Block's antiqued line of products, and especially liked the patterned walls.
Steve found a color in the AB Ashlar Collection that complimented their home's brick exterior perfectly, and
at a more affordable price. They decided to go with an AB Ashlar Blend patterened wall. Mario Iantosca was
recommended to install the project. "I visited Steve and Civita at the site and they were thinking one larger wall would do the job. But I could see a set of three walls with a planting space in between, and they liked that idea too. When I brought the engineer out to check the site and soil conditions, he wondered how I would get the stairway up through the walls and still meet code. I told him not to worry and to come back in a couple days to check the job. If you are used to working with your hands, Allan Block is easy. I get more block up in a day because you don't need footings or mortar, and the walls turn out beautiful," says Mario. |
Steve and Civita are ecstatic with the work. They liked the front walls so well, they had Mario use the
AB Stones in a matching color to build small walls in back and along the side of the drive. And Mario is
happy to be building the same quality of walls his family has been building for generations. Old world
craftsmanship with Allan Block. | |

Comments about INSIGHT WALL OF FAME PYTHONS DENIM:
Love the snugness on the leg/butt area but the waist is too loose, maybe because it's such a high cut. It goes almost to my waist..but doesn't fit like a high-waisted pant. However, I am very petite (5'2") so maybe it would fit better on someone taller. Love the zipper on the ankles, makes it UBER tight-fitting on the leg. DO NOT WASH..I made this mistake and it washed out too much, but didn't shrink! Bought another pair and I will definitely be dry-cleaning those.

The bachelor's degree in social work is nationally accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). The B.S.W. gives students the education and skills necessary to provide direct services to clients in a wide variety of human service settings. Generalist practice social work encompasses all client groups and all levels of service, from individuals to international social policy. This is a professional program involving a great deal of time and commitment. In addition, professional preparation requires each student to look at his/her values, attitudes, knowledge, and skills. The program at UIS is dedicated to the achievement of social justice and human rights for all.
Entrance Requirements An application process is required for admission to the program. Students must first be admitted to UIS and then make separate application to the social work program. Acceptance is based on a combination of previous academic record, personal development, and motivation for service in the field. The admission process can be initiated any time during the year, but UIS acceptance and all program application requirements must be completed and on file in the program office by March 1 for priority fall admission. The admission process may include a personal interview with the applicant and a writing sample.
The curricular sequence begins in the fall or spring of each year. Students may be granted permission to enroll in introductory courses before program acceptance, but this does not constitute admission to the program or to UIS. Students so enrolled are not eligible for financial assistance.
Because the professional preparation requirements of the social work curriculum are extensive, the program urges prospective students to begin this preparation before applying to the BSW program. The program requires a liberal arts foundation including preparatory work in general psychology, sociology/anthropology, political science, and statistics. Students should contact the social work program office for details.
Advising Majors will be assigned faculty advisers at the time of admission. A student may elect to change that adviser, but the new adviser must be a faculty member in the social work program. Students should consult their advisers each semester before registration.
Skill Development The provision of social work services requires a number of personal and professional skills. In SWK 222 students begin the process of assessing their skills and building and developing their maximum academic potentials. This includes the ability to express their ideas both orally and in writing. Students who are having difficulty with program requirements may be placed on probation until grades improve.
UIS Requirements Every social work student will complete nine hours of field work. At least four additional hours must be completed in either liberal studies colloquia or public affairs colloquia to meet UIS requirements. Forty-eight upper-division hours are required for graduation.
Field Work An essential aspect of professional preparation is the integration of knowledge and skills. This is accomplished primarily through the field work course. This is an intensive 400-hour experience in a social agency, where a student, under supervision, learns to assess and improve his or her own direct service skills. The field work supervisor should be a person holding a degree in social work. Field work may be taken in one semester, called a block placement. This requires at least 25 hours per week for one semester. Field work may also be taken concurrently. This requires a minimum of 12 hours per week for two semesters. All BSW core courses must be completed and graded before starting field work. Students on academic probation are ineligible for field work.
Closure Procedures A student must earn a grade of C or better in every social work core course to continue in the curriculum and to graduate. If a lower grade is earned, a student may repeat a course or courses, but only once. Credit/no credit is not available in core courses except field work. Students must also complete requirements for assessment in the major. Students will be encouraged to complete their degrees within five years. A student should apply in writing for a leave of absence if he or she will be out more than one semester.
Students must file graduation contracts with their advisers at the beginning of their final semester and must participate in campus exit assessments. All students must consult with their advisers before registering for their last semester to ensure that both UIS and program requirements have been met.

Giberson's essay makes the case that scientific fundamentalists are not merely arguing for the supremacy of science but also presenting science as a quasi-religious replacement. The agenda of the "New Atheists" is not merely to refute mainstream religion but to replace it. Unfortunately, the scientific community is poorly represented by these aggressive public figures.
