Sorry if you're seeing this! We're getting things ready for out next issue, and will have some great content here soon!
Laps in Luxury
Your patrons spend a lot of time in your seats, they deserve the very best—and giving them the best has never been easier
When an audience member walks into a traditional proscenium theatre the two things they'll notice most immediately are the front curtain and the seats. Of the two, they'll be spending the most time with the seats.
The Creative Circle
Temporarily transforming your space into a striking theatre-in-the-round
Theatre-in-the-round has always offered directors the chance to stretch their staging imaginations in diverse new directions. Add to that the fresh challenge a circular set-up presents to an actor's technical performance skill set, and the demands performing in the round makes from designers (calling for creative solutions), and you've got a wonderful opportunity to bring your audience something truly different.
Film to Stage
The hit musical The Bodyguard, now running at London's Adelphi Theatre, turns the popular 1992 Whitney Houston/Kevin Costner film into a stage musical starring Heather Headley as the superstar singer Rachel Marron and Lloyd Owen as Frank Farmer, the former Secret Service agent turned bodyguard. The fact that the movie featured music including the hit song "I Will Always Love You," was a bonus for the producers, but the move from film to stage of any story brings its own challenges. For scenic designers, they often need to bring the film's multiple locations to life on a single stage.
Flexible, Comfortable, Cutting-Edge
Gregg Nelson and Ron Probst of Wenger Corp. get close to the customer to get closer to perfection
Just because they make temporary staging and seating doesn't mean the company is. Wenger Corporation has been around for close to 70 years, but is still innovating and developing new and unique products to make putting shows on easier everywhere. We sat down with Ron Probst, a national sales manager at Wenger, and Gregg Nelson, senior market manager, to talk about how they help create custom spaces, and how their company's longevity and diversity keeps pulling them forward.
We Can All Get Along
A look at how LEDs and traditional color filters can work together
By now, LED luminaires are fairly established as the newest addition to the lighting designers' toolbox. Manufacturers have been making steady improvements to LED-based fixtures; they're going beyond the original RGB LEDs and adding Amber and/or White LEDs to expand color mixing. Some have gone even further—Prism Projection has five LED colors and ETC Selador has seven colors. Many lights being produced now mix the colors into a homogenous whole, getting rid of the pixelization that was common in early LED lights where the beam had a tendency to look more like a rainbow of Skittles than a useful beam that mixed well with other sources.
Making a Forest
The scene shop at Indiana Repertory Theatre had to solve a problem of trees for a production of The Gospel According to James
One of the most exciting parts of being a scenic artist is the adventure of thinking critically, so you can make things creatively. When a project comes my way that presents some potential problems, my heart revs. I see it as an adventure, not a setback.
In 2012 I was working as the assistant Charge Scenic Artist under charge scenic artist Claire Dana for the Indiana Repertory Theatre. A show was fast approaching by the name of The Gospel According to James, by Charles Smith. The play is a historical fiction about the last lynchings to take place in Indiana and explores the nature of memory in regard to our collective history.
Que Audio DA04 and DA12
To prepare for this review, I visited Que Audio's website and found out some interesting facts about the company and its products. First, Que Audio is owned by the Syncrotech Group, which is an Australian-owned group of professional audio companies that has been operating down under for more 30 years.
Onstage & Off
Newly released books on a variety of theatre topics
From "how-to" to "how it happened," this month's books cover a wide range of interests.
Dr. Davidson's Eye on Theatre Health and Safety is a three-volume set, focusing primarily on issues facing drama instruction and production in public schools—although most of the information applies equally to college and university theatre, community theatre and church performing arts groups. The first volume focuses on the responsibilities of administrators responsible for the overview of the entire program. The second volume targets onstage personnel who handle props, settings, curtains and other production tasks. Volume three covers the areas involved with setting the stage—building and painting sets, hanging lights, the shops and storage required for those activities and the environmental concerns that may arise. While there are checklists and guidelines, this is not exactly a how-to manual. Instead, author Dr. Randall Davidson points out common risks and hazards (including some that aren't often thought of), as well as ways to reduce these risks. In addition to onstage and backstage risks, he discusses such issues as walkways into the theatre building, public areas like the lobby and restrooms, hazardous wastes and their disposal and proper storage of equipment for its future use.

Pipe Cage Match
Is schedule 80 pipe better than schedule 40 for pipe battens?
Ask Uncle Bill is a quarterly, recurring column in Stage Directions that wants to answer all your rigging questions. Think of it as a print edition of the "Stump the Rigger" session at USITT. Got a question you want Bill to answer? Email him at email@example.com.
A reader asks…
I've been told that schedule 80 pipe is better than schedule 40 for pipe battens. What does schedule 40 & schedule 80 mean? And is schedule 80 really better?
Value-Based Accounting
It took a while, but I did manage to change my attitude about giving money away
I won't lie: When I was in my 20s and working in the theatre, I was dirt poor. The type of poor where even Kraft Macaroni & Cheese was too pricy—it was store brand generic all the way. I'm not complaining (though I did at the time), I'm just stating it as a fact, so you can imagine how I laughed whenever the theatres would start their annual fund drives by asking their employees to give a little back to the theatre.
I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends
You can't escape collaboration in the theatre—even if you wanted to
Long before devised theatre became the rage, collaboration was built into the very bones of theatre. The directors I've always heard talked of in hushed tones of awe are invariably those who place a premium on collaboration. I'm not saying great directors don't use collaboration to a lesser extent at times (I'm sure they've all had their autocratic moments), but the idea of collaboration is woven into their work. Even a one-person show needs a crew, and a box office, and a stage.

Death in Paradise
Series Description: Sent to the tiny island of Saint-Marie to solve a mysterious murder, Detective Inspector Richard Poole is a total fish out of water. A quintessentially British cop, he would much prefer the London drizzle and a freshly pressed shirt to blue seas, sparkling sands and gorgeous tropical weather. This warm, light-hearted detective series takes place against a stunning Caribbean island backdrop - as far away from the grey skies of London as you could possibly get. What Richard finds is a ramshackle station and a very different type of policing. The fact that there's a goat in one of the cells says it all. He can't get out of there fast enough, but there's a job to do and he does it brilliantly. His reward - a permanent posting to the island, his own personal hell on Earth. He may be stuck there, but he's not going to let his standards slip. He'll bring British rigor to this relaxed Caribbean workplace. Always in a suit and tie, eschewing sandals for a stout brogue, he's the very embodiment of the Englishman abroad. He can get through his ordeal, if only he could find a decent cup of tea.

Tag: bufo marinus
Another deadly treat: Toxic toads
In recent weeks, we've cautioned you about dangers posed to your dogs by wild mushrooms. We've pointed out that medical marijuana is proving increasingly hazardous to them, too.
We haven't warned you this year, as Halloween approaches, about chocolate and other candies that can harm your dog, assuming that by now you already know all that.
But you may not know about toxic toads.
It only took about half an hour for Deborah Barrett's dog, a Jack Russell terrier named Willie, to die after he bit a Bufo marinus toad in his back yard last week.
"It was as big as a salad plate. My dog killed it, and when he came inside, within five minutes he went into convulsions, Barrett told Patch.com in Temple Terrace, which is outside Tampa.
Barrett said Willie died in the car on the way to an animal hospital.
The City of Temple Terrace is cautioning pet owners to watch out for the Bufo marinus toads, an invasive species that has taken hold in Florida. The gray-brown toads secrete a powerful toxin from their glands that can be poisonous to dogs, cats and other animals that bite them, and even people who handle them.
Small dogs are the most at risk, veterinarians say.
"Once they start having seizures, if you don't address it quickly, it can cause massive brain damage," said Dr. Paul Langston, of the Temple Terrace Animal & Bird Hospital."If you can get them (to the vet) quickly, they'll usually be OK."
If you suspect your pet has bitten a Bufo toad, veterinarians advise rinsing its mouth and paws with water and seeking veterinary help immediately.
As with the mushrooms we told you about last week, the toads are being seen in higher numbers because of heavy rains.

UNION – The Union County boys basketball team continued to struggle offensively on Thursday and fell to Farragut, Tenn., 59-29 during the Cumberland Falls Invitational Tournament in Kentucky.
"We've got to figure something out that's going to benefit us," said Head Coach Will Hickson. "We've got to put the ball in the hole. We looked pretty good on defense but we're not executing on offense."
The Jackets were forced to play catch up after falling behind 21-0 in the first quarter. The first eight points of the second half belonged to Union County but Farragut evened the third quarter scoring at 18-18 and used solid defense to hold off the Jackets in the fourth.
"We have to work on starting the game off better," said Hickson. "We played well in the second half, especially defensively. We've got to come together as a team and bond as a family. That's what these trips are for."
Union County was led in scoring by Kalay Jones, Jared Booker and Recus Hughes who had six points each.
In girls action, the Lady Jackets knocked off Carson Newman 50-19 on Thursday in the first round of the 2012 Home Pest Control Holiday Basketball Classic.
Kristin Giles had a double-double with 24 points and 11 assists.
The Lady Jackets led 17-16 at halftime and held Cardinal Newman to just three points in the second half.

It was Valentine's Day, 2011. Kevin Harmon, a 25-year-old father of a kindergartner, withdrew $40 from an ATM. He never had a chance to spend it.
Three young men watched him make the withdrawal. They hatched a plot to rob him. As it turned out, they did much more than that.
Before the sun rose, Kevin's body lay lifeless by a lake in Spalding County. He had been stabbed several times. Most of his wounds were blows to the head and upper body from a baseball bat. The killers hit him over 40 times with the bat. His teeth were driven into his mouth. His skull was crushed over and over again.
During the struggle for his life, Kevin had managed to take one of the knives and stab an attacker. The killers had to explain that to authorities. So they claimed that they were victims of a robbery. They even applied for victim assistance funding. That is money earmarked for true victims, not for cold-blooded killers.
Fortunately, the Griffin Police Department and the Spalding County Sheriff's Department weren't buying the lie. They arrested the three killers and one, who was not quite 17 years old, began to talk. His statement implicated the others.
This meant that we would not be able to try all three at the same time. That's because the other defendants would not have a chance to cross-examine the one who talked if he chose to remain silent at trial. The Constitution won't allow that.
When we got the case, our first decision was whether to try the 16-year-old as an adult. That was easy—he needed to answer for his actions in "big boy court." Then Michael Rogers, who would be prosecuting his first murder case, had to decide who to try first. He chose the one who gave the statement. That trial happened last fall. The jury convicted on all counts. Judge Tommy Hankinson delayed sentencing until the others had been tried.
We had that trial last week. This time Michael was assisted by a new addition to our Spalding office, Marie Greene Broder. I watched with pride as both prosecutors immersed themselves into the grisly case.
Finally, on Thursday Michael stood up to deliver his closing argument. Thursday was Valentine's Day, the two-year anniversary of the murder. On the left side of the courtroom were the families of the defendants. On the right side were Kevin's family and friends. The courtroom was almost full.
Kevin's supporters wore pink. That had been his favorite color. I glanced at my staff. Secretaries, lawyers, investigators and victim's advocates who haven't had a raise in over five years had bought pink items of clothing. Pink ties. Pink shirts. Pink scarves. Pink blouses.
Michael brought it home with a powerful closing argument. The next day the jury convicted the remaining two defendants of all charges.
Afterward, Kevin's family delivered him a Valentine gift. The post office doesn't deliver to heaven, so they sent it the best way they could. They released about 40 pink and black balloons into the sky.
Michael looked over at Kevin's son, now eight years old. He's been in therapy because he dreams that three monsters are chasing him with knives. Michael knelt in front of him and said, "You don't have to worry about those monsters anymore. I'll do everything I can to see that they never have a chance to bother you again."
One week later, Judge Hankinson sentenced all three killers to life in prison without the possibility of parole, plus five years.
The monsters are gone.

One of my primary roles on Staff is to mediate or facilitate the Programming Team and their meetings. So what exactly is this?
Simply – we design the Sunday morning gatherings. But it is also a bit more than this. We also debrief the gatherings afterwards each week. We also have large scale brainstorming sessions in what we currently call Creative Meetings series by series. We also tweek and alter the service the week-of. We strategically choose what songs we wish to sing as a congregation – or not sing. We also delve into the technology of all these things – always on the hunt for the latest thing that may help in the creative teaching & worship we seek to have here. We are usually working about 1 month ahead of the current date – so I am currently putting things into place for the June 23rd services as we are coming to the May 26th weekend.
The people who are in this meeting varies slightly between the weekly 1hr 45 min meeting and the series by series 2 hr meeting. The weekly players are me (trying to hold it all together and move it along without too many bunny trails or spending too long on any one topic-idea) our Lead Pastor: Dave Ralph, my Admin Assistant: Sue Ralph, our Visual Communications person: Pauline Whyte, our Technology Manager: Jacob Moore, our Video Production Intern: Lloyd vanOnen.
We add these others when we do Creative Meetings— Student Min. Teaching & Leadership Pastor: Matt Naismith, Student Min. Creative Arts Pastor: Justin Sytsma, the current Artist In Resident: Nick Law (2012-13) and any other individual I think fitting to invite to these meetings. Sometime various volunteer Worship Leaders are invited – sometimes other Staff are invited. The key is to keep these meetings full of ideas – and ideas come from people who aren't afraid to share and can "spring board" from idea to idea easily – not getting bruised when their ideas aren't used.
All in all it is a super fun experience to lead and facilitate a meeting of creatives and administrative types to design our gatherings week after week. It is also tough work and requires lots of prep and lots of "flex" in the moment.
Above all else we rely on the Holy Spirit to guide our planning and creative-ness by seeking Him first in all we do. When I am sitting in my office Monday morning choosing songs – it isn't just me choosing songs I LIKE – but I am really thinking and praying about what works for this series – for the teaching idea that Dave is trying to bring forward in that service. Each person in our team puts that amount of through and prayer into the aspects they work on – and then we all come together to see what we can do = leaving out the weaker ideas or content to work towards what we hope is the best, most prayerfully considered and inspired gatherings for our church week after week. God doesn't want us to merely show up and say "OK God, do something". Rather God, expects us – entrusts us – with the task and responsibility of doing our best so that we can create an environment that God will work through – by His Spirit -through our worship – to transform people in their hearts. We can't transform anything on our own – only God can. We are merely setting the table, inviting the guests and preparing the food. We allow God to use us to transform others – and often – transform ourselves in the process.
I could go on about this – but I will cut it off here. Thanks for reading. Does your church have a similar "planning process" or do you work in a different way? Leave a comment – let me know.
Blessings on your week.

The tour round the gasometer bunker in the Fichtestrasse is really a round tour, due to the unusual shape of the building.
Built between 1883 and 1884, the city gas company used this brick-covered gasholder to supply street lanterns, until its closure in 1937. In the early 1940s, the biggest and most modern "mother and child bunker" that ever existed was built inside it. Some of the equipment used inside – such as the ventilation and filtration systems, the heaters, lifts and the naval diesel motor – still works today. Altogether, the bunker offered 6,500 mothers and their children a place to sleep safely at a time when the nights were often interrupted by air-raids. After the war the building was used at times as a refugee centre; an allied prison; a homeless shelter; and from 1970 until the reunification as a storage facility for the 'senate reserves' – food provisions stored in West Berlin during the Cold War. Plans to convert the bunker into a modern civil defence shelter were eventually abandoned. In the 80s, it was proposed to turn the bunker into a cultural centre, for theatre and other events, alas also these plans had to be dropped because of a lack of funding. In recent years lofts have been built onto the roof of the gasometer, but the inside of the bunker is still, for the most part, structurally and technically in the original condition – and is now used as exhibition space by the Berlin Underworlds Association.
During the course of the tour, various historical themes are addressed – such as the daily lives of the families in Kreuzberg during the air-raids and the use of the building following the war – with the help of numerous artifacts, the stories of those who were there, and modern projector technology. The diverse 130-year history of the Fichtebunker is brought to life with a journey through time in 7 chapters.
Further information about the subject can be found here.
Dress requirements
Sturdy footwear is obligatory (no sandals or flip-flops!) and warm clothing is recommended – the interior temperature is never more than 10°C, even in summer.
This tour is only available upon request to groups in English and in German. Please contact us for details.

Hi there,
I'm relatively new to Spring, but I'm a big fan of dependency injection and have used Google Guice for quite a while now. So forgive me if this might turn out to be newbie question...
One of the great things about DI, in my mind, is that you can get rid of a lot of boiler plate code that essentially just copies data around, like the good old setter methods:
With Guice or JSR-330, this can be simplified toCode:public void setSomeProperty(SomeProperty property) { this.property = property; }
Our application uses the application-context.xml to wire everything, and one of the beans is set up like this:Code:@Inject SomeProperty property;
The only way I can make this work properly seems to be by adding a setter method setEnvelopeManager(EnvelopeManager) to the bean, which introduces exactly the kind of boiler plate code that I'm trying to avoid. First, I tried using the @Autowired on the property field, but then I realized that it's not really autowired, since the bean is configured with a specific property. We're also using JAX-RS and Apache CXF, so I tried an @Context annotation as well, also to no avail.Code:<bean id="fpcaWebService" class="com.everyonecounts.fpca.admin.impl.FPCAWebServiceImpl"> <property name="envelopeManager" ref="fpcaEnvelopeManager"/> </bean>
As the JSR-330 API is not on our build path, I haven't tried @Inject yet, but before I go down this road any further I wanted to make sure that I'm not barking up the wrong tree here.
Is it at all possible to configure beans with specific <property> elements, without providing setter methods for all the properties?

Hanna Rosin has an article in this month's Atlantic titled "How Hollywood saved God." This is familiar territory for Rosin, who just published "God's Harvard" and has written before about the evangelical Christian movement in Hollywood.
This month, New Line Cinema will release The Golden Compass, based on the first book in a trilogy of edgy childrenâs novels written by the British author Philip Pullman. A trailer for the movie evokes The Lord of the Rings, and comparisons have been made to The Chronicles of Narnia. All three are epic adventures that unfold in a rich fantasy world, perfect for the big screen. But beyond that basic description, the comparisons fall apart. In the past, Pullman has expressed mainly contempt for the books on which the other movies were based. He once dismissed the Lord of the Rings trilogy as an âinfantile workâ primarily concerned with âmaps and plans and languages and codes.â Narnia got it even worse: âMorally loathsome,â he called it. âOne of the most ugly and poisonous things Iâve ever read.â He described his own series as Narniaâs moral opposite. âThatâs the Christian one,â he told me. âAnd mine is the non-Christian.â
Pullmanâs books have sold 15 million copies worldwide, although itâs difficult to imagine adolescent novels any more openly subversive. The series, known collectively as His Dark Materials, centers on Lyra Belacqua, a preteen orphan whoâs pursued by a murderous institution known as âthe Magisterium.â Or to use the more familiar name, âthe Holy Church.â In its quest to eradicate sin, the Church sanctions experiments involving the kidnap and torture of hundreds of childrenâexperiments that separate body from soul and leave the children to stumble around zombie-like, and then die.
The point of Rosin's article is that after five years and a bunch of rewrites, not to mention $180 million in production, producers have taken the anti-religious out of Pullman's epic. I think.
See, I don't have a subscription to The Atlantic anymore. (I rarely enjoyed reading it.) So all I got for free online are the two paragraphs above. If any God Blog readers have a subscription, please, inform us of what the article is really about.

My editor at The Jewish Journal, Rob Eshman, disagrees with the premise of my Wandering Jew column last week, in which I argued that the writer's strike is not a Jewish story. Here's the nut:
Indeed, "Hollywood writer" is among the most Jewish job descriptions anywhere, which is why, as this long-anticipated strike approached, my editors asked me to report the news through a Jewish lens. The difficulty, however, is that this really isn't a Jewish story. It's a business story that just happens to deal with an industry built largely by Jewish immigrants and sustained by their successors.
In his column this week, Rob writes:
The Writers Strike is a Jewish issue.
How do I know that? Because everyone is saying it's not. The writers who are demanding a larger share of DVD rights and residuals for their work and the producers who refuse to give it to them both say, repeatedly, that despite the fact that so many of them happen to be Jewish, the strike is not—as Jewish writers and producers told our senior reporter Brad Greenberg last week—a Jewish issue.
To paraphrase a Clinton-era favorite, you can be sure that when everyone is saying it's not about being Jewish, it's about being Jewish.
Strip away the brand-name products and gossipy inside Hollywood milieu of this strike, and what you have is a question of fair compensation and just treatment of labor.
It is a question our sages wrestled with, beginning with a law laid down in Leviticus 25:14: "And when you sell something to your fellow, or buy from the hand of your fellow, don't oppress each other."
How shallow has our Jewish life become and how silent have our pulpits fallen when we blithely accept the idea that a 4,000-year-old ethical tradition has nothing to say about how we do business?
Certainly, Jewish ethics should not be dismissed in how the Jewish writers and producers treat each other in this labor dispute. But I don't think that makes it a Jewish issue—that makes it an issue influenced by Jewish values. The same could be said for most of the things that happen in certain pockets of Los Angeles where Jews abound.
Sometimes, as in the ongoing case for and against expansion of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a controversy becomes a Jewish issue because it deals with more than just morals and ethics but actual Jewish interests and institutions. I just don't think the plight of TV and film writers—even if it was once an almost entirely Yiddish operation—fits into this category.
But, then again, Rebecca Spence at The Forward spoke with the same union leader I did, David N. Weiss, and got the exact opposite angle from very similar responses.

I do not understand why Ron Paul is so popular on the Internet, though I did once find him to be worth a good quote. Anyway, JTA has a story out about the few Jews backing the maverick Republican running for president. (That's Ron Paul, not Crazy Rudy.)
Paul's candidacy was dismissed early on due to his support from white supremacist, Libertarian and other fringe groups, but the campaign has begun to pick up steam on college campuses and on the Internet, in part due to his staunch anti-war stance.
A longtime Texas congressman, Paul raised $4.2 million on Nov. 5 from 37,000 individual donors who agreed to give as part of a "money bomb" on Guy Fawkes Day, the anniversary of the failed plot of a British mercenary to kill King James I in 1605. In September, he announced that he'd brought in $5.2 million in the previous three months, putting him ahead of John McCain in the Republican money race.
Even as Paul makes headway in some circles, organized Jewish support for his Republican presidential bid is nearly nonexistent, thanks to the candidate's longstanding stance against providing foreign aid, including U.S. assistance to Israel.
And last month, The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) pointedly did not invite him to participate in its candidates' forum. His reported support from extremist groups hasn't helped win him favor among Jews.
Still, Paul commands a loyal, albeit small, Jewish following. This Jewish support has followed the same pattern as Paul's backing from other groups—coming from out-of-the way places on the Internet and taking mainstream media and political organizations by surprise.
In addition to Perry's Jews for Ron Paul, there is Zionists for Ron Paul—an outfit launched by Yehuda HaKohen, an American immigrant to Israel, and some of his friends back in the United States.
Some of Paul's Jewish supporters believe that it would be best for Israel if the United States kept out of Jerusalem's affairs. There are also those who believe that American aid to Israel is dangerous because it feeds the perception that Jews wield too much influence over U.S. foreign policy.
"Many of us believe the current relationship between the United States and Israel is a very unhealthy relationship, like that of a man and concubine, or a slave and master," HaKohen said.

U.S. diplomats are making a strong push for the American Jewish community to support the upcoming Israeli-Palestinian peace summit at Annapolis, which is silly because so few Israelis and Palestinians respectively support Ehud Olmert and Mahmoud Abbas.
Rick Richman at Jewish Current Issues says that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is still saying the same convoluted and unfounded thing:
Most Palestinians now believe that Israel will always be their neighbor and that no Palestinian state is going to be born through violence.
I'll tell you what, I spent my Sunday at a StandWithUs conference at Bnai David-Judea focusing on the prospects of peace, and optimism was not in the air.
Khaled Abu Toameh, a Palestinian affairs reporter for the Jerusalem Post and NBC News, said it isn't—Fatah is too weak, and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas too unpopular to sincerely negotiate a solution.
"Even if he gets 100 percent, he can't implement it," Abu Toameh said. "He doesn't have the power."
Mitchell Bard, executive director of the American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise, followed with a similarly downtrodden tone. Muslims, he said, have time on their side, with a birthrate much higher than Israeli Jews and the hope of future nuclear weaponry.
"So you wait," Bard said. "Why would you want some crummy little state in Gaza and the West Bank, when all you have to do is wait?"
"The gap between Fatah and Hamas is narrowing," Marcus said, pointing to soccer tournaments named after suicide bombers, textbooks approved by the Palestinian Authority that say the presence of non-Muslims on Palestinian land is an affront to Allah and an image used on Fatah TV that shows the Palestinian flag covering Israel on a map, with an emblem in the middle that states, "Palestine—2007."
For this reason, Abu Toameh said the time is not ripe for negotiations: "The Palestinian street is very radical, very bitter. I'm sorry to say it, but I don't see where we go from here."
"There are many Israelis who are prepared to give up large parts of Arab Jerusalem," the Jerusalem resident later added. "I think it is a mistake. If we had a really good government on the Palestinian side, I would say bring them in. But with Fatah and Hamas, I would run away."

Stan Guthrie at Christianity Today offers this "Reader's Digest version" of why he's a Christian:
OK, so even the Reader's Digest version was a little long for The God Blog. But his full explanations are worth a read.Let's face it: Atheism is in. Not since Nietzsche have disbelievers enjoyed such a ready public reception to their godless messageâand such near-miraculous royalties. But even that hasn't put them in a good mood. Snaps Christopher Hitchens, who wrote God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything (although not, presumably, the pronouncements of atheists), "Many of the teachings of Christianity are, as well as being incredible and mythical, immoral." A feuding Richard Dawkins suggests that believers "just shut up." Apparently, they didn't get the tolerance memo.
Other authorsâincluding Douglas Wilson and Francis Collinsâhave quite capably refuted the new atheist shtick. But remembering Bertrand Russell's famous essay, "Why I Am Not a Christian," here is a Reader's Digest version of why I am.
Creation: The universe, far from being a howling wasteland indifferent to our existence, appears to be finely tuned through its estimated 13.7 billion years of existence to support life on this planet. ...
Beauty: Beethoven's Ninth, a snowflake, the sweet smell of a baby who has been sleeping, and a sunset beyond the dunes of Lake Michigan all point to a magnificent and loving Creator. And isn't it interesting that we have the capacityâunlike mere animalsâto gape in awe, to be brought to tears, before them? Truly did David say, "What is man, that you are mindful of him?"
New Testament reliability: Compared with the handful of existing copies of seminal ancient works such as Homer's Iliad, the New Testament's provenance is far better attested. There are thousands of NT manuscripts in existence, some made within mere decades of the events they report. Scholar F. F. Bruce said, "The historicity of Christ is as axiomatic for an unbiased historian as the historicity of Julius Caesar."
Scripture: Unlike other religious texts, the Bible gives us the good, the bad, and the ugly of its heroes: Abraham, Jacob, David, and Peter among them. Further, Scripture's message rings true. ...
Jesus: Christ's life and teachings are unparalleled in world history, as any Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim—or atheist—worth his salt will admit. Napoleon reportedly said, "I know men, and I tell you that Jesus Christ is not a man. ...
The trilemma: C.S. Lewis, commenting on Christ's claim to divinity, said: "You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."
Resurrection: ...
Progress: ...
Testimonies: ...
My experience: Finally, as a forgiven sinner, I testify to an imperfect yet growing sense of God's peace, presence, and provision since receiving Christ more than a quarter-century ago. Despite occasional setbacks, my faith has deepened and strengthened, whatever life brings.
And that includes the angry rantings of atheists.

I'm not a fan of the suicide bombers who consider themselves servants of Allah and the Palestinian cause. But Khaled Abu Toameh, he's the kind of Palestinian freedom fighter I can get behind (his mother was Palestinian, his father an Israeli Arab). Why? Because Abu Toameh is a journalist like me, only he reports on the inner workings and scandals of Fatah and Hamas. Better yet, he writes for the Jerusalem Post.
When I was in Israel last summer and saw his name in the paper, I wondered how he could possibly stay alive. Sunday, I heard Abu Toameh speak at a conference at B'nai David-Judea, and was blown away by his candid assessment of the pathetic peace process—really, political theater—that is leading two wildly unpopular leaders, Olmert and Abbas, to an upcoming summit at Annapolis. (More on that later today.)
"People often ask me, 'What went wrong with you? When did you change? Are you a Zionist Arab? You started out working for the PLO, now you're writing for a Jewish paper,'" said Abu Toameh, who began his career as a journalist for the party of Yasser Arafat. "I find it sad that as an Arab Muslim I have to work for a Jewish newspaper because that is the only place that will publish my stories freely."

Julio Cesar Rodriguez says he stole from the rich, gave to the poor and got caught because he didn't cover his face when he tried to knock over the San Fernando Citibank.
Prosecutors charged the 32-year-old Arleta man with 14 counts of robbery and attempted robbery Tuesday in a string of bank jobs dating back to 2004. Though his arraignment was delayed until later this month, police said he has admitted his guilt and cooperated with the investigation.
The Los Angeles Police Department alleges Rodriguez snatched close to half a million bucks out of bank vaults throughout the northeast San Fernando Valley. When Detective Ursula Guillory of the Robbery-Homicide Division asked what he did with the proceeds, Rodriguez offered a shocking answer.
"He said, 'I spent a little on myself, then I went down to Skid Row and handed it out,'" Guillory said. "He went on to tell us about all the rest of the robberies."
She'd been tracking him for months, based on DNA evidence obtained from the scarf he used to cover his face in an earlier robbery in Van Nuys. He'd scribbled lines from the Book of Mormon inside alluding to 1st Nephi 3:7. Guillory asked him about the passage, and he said he belonged to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"Now I've got a bank-robbing, Mormon Robin Hood," she said. "He was very cooperative and said he wanted to be responsible. He said, 'I don't want to waste your time, detective.'"
That's the top of an article in today's LA Daily News by the always excellent Brent Hopkins. A contributer to the It's A Crime blog, Brent sent me this note when I told him I liked his story:
Now I'm not an expert in all the tenets of the Mormon faith, but I'm guessing that "don't rob banks" fits somewhere in between "don't drink coffee", "don't smoke cigarettes" and "spread the word of the Joseph Smith and/or the Lord."

Should crucifixes and other evocative Christian images be barred from the Western Wall? I just got off the phone with an Orthodox rabbi who wasn't so sure what the right response would have been when a group of Catholic bishops approached the Kotel yesterday in fall Christian regalia.
Western Wall Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitch refused to give the bishops access to the site and avoided meeting the ecclesiastic delegation of approximately 20, led by Archbishop of Vienna, Christoph Schonborn.
Rabinovitch denied that the incident, which took place Thursday, smacked of religious intolerance.
"Crosses are a symbol that hurts Jewish feelings," said Rabinovitch who refused to elaborate on precisely how or why the crosses were so offensive.
"I feel the same way about a Jew putting on a tallit and phylacteries and going into a Church. I would be the first to rebuke such a Jew for not behaving like a mensch." Rabinovitch added that he was surprised the Catholic clerics refused to hide their crosses.
"They did not have to take them off, just hide them. I've never encountered a Christian who has refused, including the Pope."
This reminds me a bit of Ariel Sharon's military-led visit to the Temple Mount in 2000, only the bishops' visit, thank God, has not sparked a guerrilla war.

ATLANTA—Bowing his head outside the Georgia Capitol on Tuesday, Gov. Sonny Perdue cut a newly repentant figure as he publicly prayed for rain to end the region's historic drought.
"Oh father, we acknowledge our wastefulness," Perdue said. "But we're doing better. And I thought it was time to acknowledge that to the creator, the provider of water and land, and to tell him that we will do better."
Hundreds of Georgians—ministers and lawmakers, landscapers and office workers—gathered in downtown Atlanta for the prayer vigil. Some held bibles and crucifixes. Many swayed and linked arms as a choir sang "What a Mighty God We Serve" and "Amazing Grace."
As Perdue described it, "We have come together, very simply, for one reason and one reason only: To very reverently and respectfully pray up a storm."
"It's got to be worth a shot," said David Mais, 34, an Atlanta resident who is worried his carpet cleaning business could suffer from the drought. "I do think we need to do a lot more, but hopefully prayer will unite us."
As metropolitan Atlanta's water supplies drain to record lows, many across the Southeast have criticized Perdue and other Georgia officials for failing to introduce more stringent conservation measures.
The rest of this story from the LA Times is here. It's clear to me that God answers our prayers if we are earnest in seeking His help. But God doesn't reward poor stewardship, which reminds me of a story I wrote last year about a group that traveled far and wide to Hollywood to pray for lower gas prices:
The Rev. Beatrice Williams drove 110 miles to Hollywood on Wednesday to beg the Lord for lower gasoline prices.
"There is victory when we stand together," Williams said, after joining eight others in prayer. "We will overcome, and we will overcome this if there are enough people who believe that God cares."
Standing beneath the Gothic Revival tower of Hollywood United Methodist Church - and across from a Chevron station charging $3.43 a gallon for unleaded - the group asked God to comfort those paying more while driving less.
"We give you praise and honor and glory. You are king of all kings. You know our needs," Bishop Donald Downing, pastor of Heart to Heart Christian Center in Fort Washington, Md., prayed as cars zipped through the intersection of Highland and Franklin avenues, occasionally honking.
"These high gas prices, Lord, bring them down, oh Father."
These prayer warriors were hoping to induce the same miracle the effort's organizer, Pray Live, claims it brought about in Washington, D.C. After about 50 attended a gathering in late April, national fuel prices dropped a few cents.
Gasoline experts have been offering advice for months on how drivers can reduce fuel prices: empty the trunk, combine errands, keep tires properly inflated, maintain a steady speed.
"People seek - what is the word I'm looking for? - relief in many ways," said Jeff Spring, a spokesman for the Automobile Club of Southern California. "We would recommend they continue to try to cut their use of gas to try to lower the prices. Reduced demand will lower their prices."
What about asking for help from above?
"I'll leave that question up to the theologians," Spring said.
I think Lance Warner, a 22-year-old history student at Georgia State University, hits the nail on the head in the Times article.
"You can't make up for years of water mismanagement with a prayer session. It's lunacy!"

The Lilly Brush is a product that I really want to like. It's so darn cute, and it aims to solve a problem that we knitters often having: getting rid of pills on our garments. When we love and use our knit things regularly, over time it's really likely we're going to see pills. And we don't want to have to stop wearing our hard-knit garments just because they aren't looking like new anymore.
This little brush says it can remove 100 percent of pills from natural fiber fabrics, and I didn't quite find that to be the case. Sometimes it merely brushes the pill away from the surface, meaning you still have to remove it by hand, but it is easier to get to.
Maybe if I used more pressure or had a different technique this would work better. I'm not sure. I know some people rave about this product, so if you've used it I'd really love to hear what you think!

Testimonies: Inner Healing |
"Two nights before prayer ministry, the Lord showed me in a dream that my flesh had to die. My own strength and coping mechanisms needed to be replaced by dependence on Jesus alone. I was led to forgive those parts of me which had worked hard to protect me, but had actually hindered my full healing and release. Generational sins were forgiven and strongholds dismantled. I laid down burdens and received the covenant of rest that God had waiting for me all along. Since the ministry I have felt much more confident, because now my trust is more fully in God. This new wholeness is already being outworked in relationships: in the past when I felt rejected by a particular person I would withdraw, but after ministry I found I could press through the rejection and reach out in love. Moreover, I was able to share the story of Passover with a family member who had been hostile towards things of the spirit. Thank you Jesus for the new life and freedom! Ursula" - Ursula R. on April 2nd, 2013 | |
"I awoke this morning with such a wonderful sense of freedom and wholeness after the ministry last night. I feel some of the major splintered wounds in my soul have been identified, forgiven, cleansed and integrated. I am so thankful to God for my Healing Rooms family, the team who ministered to me and the team of intercessors. I am thankful for their commitment to seeing people released into their covenant and for the clear confirmation of mine last night!! The words of an old song "I can feel the Love of God in this place, I receive your goodness, I receive your grace, I delight myself at your table, O God, you do all things well, just look at our lives!" were ringing in my spirit as I awoke. I hadn't heard those words for years! Thank you Lord. Bronwyn" - Bronwyn P. on March 25th, 2013 | |
"I recently went to the Healing Rooms for Terraforming. That was the instruction from the Lord, along with a mental picture of my sister's grave. The issues dealt with were rebellion, doubt and unbelief, and resentment. The two factors that left the most impression, from the session, were the need to forgive myself and reintegration of splinters of myself. Since that time I am different. I the most complete and whole I have ever been. I have had another session of Terraforming since, which dealt with the remnant of rejection, an issue dealt with a long time ago. Now that I am more whole I realize that I need to learn how to live this way, so I have asked the lord for wisdom. There are many ways to pray but my recent experience of Terraforming prayer has for me been a very positive one. Colin" - Colin S. on March 5th, 2013 | |
"Through the time of soaking, I could feel God's spirit course through my veins. I asked for strength this evening, and though that I could feel so much power in my soul. So many of their words spoke to me, and I could feel God's presence every step of the way. This experience just rejuvenated God's holiness, and I hope I never lose that." - Dallas on February 11th, 2013 | |
"I feel a calm. I feel that my burden is lighter. I feel hope, I saw the wall that I have put up and I saw Jesus' face. The wall is crumbling." - Ann on February 11th, 2013 | |

Love, Love your front porch..Your red door is just beautiful, would you mind telling me the color and brand you used.
ReplyDelete Oh, Barb, your porch is just spectacular - summer or fall! Love your Fallen wreath! Wow! Did you make this or buy it? It's gorgeous! I love those topiaries with the little lights, I'd love to do something like that. Love how you have a piece of art on your porch wall. If I did that at my house - someone would steal it during the night! :) Thanks for sharing your Fallen beauty.
Be a sweetie,
Shelai :)The burlap bows are ingenious! The choice in fabric colors are wonderful. Love those rich, warm colors you've chosen...just perfect for some hot apple cider and a good book!
