What a relief to read Lorraine Kaspirin's revelatory and honest assessment of our current educational system's failure to address the underlying issues of a system that continues to discriminate against the same populations over and over again, i.e., the poor, minorities, the disabled. In her March 23 "Whatcom View" she unmasks the current rhetoric about money, grades, discipline and and takes to task our current punitive approach leading to a rising incarceration of those who do not share the privilege of the majority. Her concerns regarding our ever-growing punitive stance as a solution to whatever ails us, resulting in a "pipeline to prison" result is what we have needed to hear. I applaud her courage in speaking the truth concerning an undemocratic educational system.
But most of all, I love her question asking "what are we teaching our children about our Democratic process?"

Whole Roasted Snapper with Parsley Vinaigrette
Cooking a fish whole keeps the flesh especially moist and flavorful--not to mention the drama an entire fish provides at serving time. Best of all, it couldn't be easier.
Yield: 4
- 1 3 1/2- pounds whole red snapper, cleaned and scaled
- 8 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 large sprigs rosemary (optional)
- 2 tablespoons wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1. Heat the oven to 450°. Rinse the fish and dry the surface and the cavity thoroughly with paper towels. Put the fish on a baking sheet and cut shallow incisions about 1 inch apart in each side. Rub the fish all over with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Sprinkle both sides with the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Put the rosemary, if using, in the fish cavity. Roast the fish until just done, about 25 minutes.
- 2. Meanwhile, in a small glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk together the 1 tablespoon lemon juice, the wine vinegar, the mustard, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Add the remaining 7 tablespoons oil slowly, whisking. Whisk in the parsley.
- 3. Serve the fish on a platter. Run a knife between the flesh and the bones and lift off the fillet with the skin attached. Turn the fish over and repeat. Pass the parsley vinaigrette.
- Fish Alternatives: You can use other medium whole fish with moderately firm white flesh, such as sea bass, blackfish, grouper, or tilefish, in place of the snapper.
- Wine Recommendation: The lemon and mustard in the vinaigrette will work well with an acidic white wine that doesn't have a strong flavor. Try a pinot grigio or Soave from Italy.

The Cell by Hong Kong Repertory Theatre
Following the acclaimed A Lone, brilliant new theatre talent Yau Ting Fai takes his work to the next level with a drama that challenges traditional modes of thinking, weaves a dark, tension-filled web of emotion and doubt, and draws on firsthand experiences. In a dark, silent night, an actor with a 'stinking' attitude meets a police officer with a 'stinking' approach. A 'stinking' affair occurs between them... then the actor with a 'stinking' attitude is locked behind bars in the 'stinking cell' of a police station... The utterly absurd sense of reality in the script will send chills down your spine, and urge you to re-assess the situations we find ourselves in today.

Wow what a surprise. My wife and I frequently fish for bass, but occasionally just anchor in our pleasure boat and throw out some worms on slip bobbers. This was the result of one of those days. A 10 minute fight, on 6 lb test with no net. A 42" Northern might not seem big to some who go to Canada but this was caught in the Chain O'Lakes, Illinois. It was my biggest freshwater fish ever caught and what a blast.

Question & Answers
No Steering Wheel in Battle
I just noticed on one of my ships there's no steering wheel when I start a battle. Is there any way to fix this and why does it happen?
Answer from: Icup
Well Ajk did you put a rudder on your ship. Rudders let u steer
Answer from: Zan
For a normal stealing pace put the rudder on the back, for a faster but inverted stearind pace put the rudder on the front.
Answer from: 4onen
If you understand the non-restricted-rotation glitch, you can place an upside-down rudder at the bow and get both high speed and non-inverted steering. All ships MUST have rudders to steer, regardless of prop placment or number. I had simmilar misconceptions in my early days, but I figured it out.
Answer from: sur2skilled
My cousin had the same problem but then he just deleted the game and downloaded it back and now he can steer

Review:- Penn State Pretzels
April 30, 2013 in Food, review
I was sent a couple of packs to try & sadly they got stolen!
Yes that's right STOLEN by hubby to take to work for a proper sampling session!
On 26th April it was National Pretzel Day, Penn State are infamous for their Pretzels.
Ok so I gave him permission to take them to work & they seemed to go down really well (with some more than others!).
The reactions were mixed, it's a bit like another famous brand, you either love them or hate them.
A few were converted, especially to the Sour Cream & Chive flavour, but the were still a few who just turned their noses up, now I'm not saying men are fussy but boy oh boy!!!
As for Ned, well he seemed very taken with them & this was him onto the 2nd pack!
I love the pose Ned! But it's also a bit of "Hands off"
Penn State Pretzel's are not just a snack, you can actually include them in recipes & if you fancy trying something new then check out their Facebook page for more info.
Disclosure:- Penn State sent me the products FOC for this review but all opinions are honest & those of hubby's work colleagues.

I think I'm the first one to post...this cruise will be to celebrate my son's high school graduation. It will be Disney Cruise #17 for DH and I, Disney Cruise #7for my DD and DS, and Disney Cruise #1 for my DSD (stepdaughter). It will also be the first time we refused to share a room with the kids and got them their own stateroom.
At the time they will be DD 21, DS 18, and DSD 24. This will be the first time the kids have cruised when they are too old for any of the kids clubs or vibe as they are all technically adults now. Seems like a really long way out, but just watch how fast that pay-in-full date comes around! Anyone else plan this far in advance?

Then why not just go and listen in trade chat then? One thing we're not sure of yet, is if you could in essence form a 25m raid, and then use the LFR (At least, I'm not sure if you can, has that been answered yet?).
For the power Blizz can give group leaders, I personally hope not a whole lot more then they already have. If it's just an incentive they give, hey great, I'm fine with that, if it's the ability to kick people at free will, I will avoid the lfr like the plague.

Mar 6 rollingstone: Big Boi disses the Lannisters and defends Khaleesi in his new Game of Thrones mixtape track "Mother of Dragons."
May 21 rollingstone: When Pharrell, visiting Paris, first sang his verse for "Get Lucky," Daft Punk told him to "sing it again, again, again," Pharrell recalls. "Then I did four or five more takes, they picked what they liked, then I sang each of those parts over and over. The robots are perfectionists." Daft Punk hired choirs, string sections, trumpeters and pedal-steel players; they recorded sound effects on the foley stage at Warner Bros. They played parts themselves, then paid session pros who'd worked on Thriller and Off the Wall to play them better. They coaxed vocals from guests like Panda Bear and Julian Casablancas; Chic mastermind Nile Rodgers played guitar on three tracks. They flew to legendary recording studios in New York and Los Angeles, like Electric Lady and Henson, to capture the unique sounds and vibes of the classic rooms. Wherever they went, they kept the mics running, capturing freewheeling jams – "We had Ampex reels everywhere," says Guy de Homem-Christo – that they edited later using Pro Tools, conjuring songs out of the footage "like we were making a film," Thomas Bangalter says. "There are songs that span two and a half years and five different studios."

Noted for their sharp dialogue and fine character development, the Parker books carry on a tradition while updating it, giving the hero two strong alter egos in Hawk, a black friend and right-hand man; and Susan Silverman, Spenser's psychologist love interest. Parker's inclusion of other races and sexual persuasions (several of his novels feature gay characters, a sensibility strengthened in Parker through his sons, both of whom are gay) have given a more modern feel to the cases coming into Spenser's office.
The Spenser series, which began with 1973's The Godwulf Manuscript, has an element of toughness that suits its Boston milieu; but it delves just as often into the complex relationship between Silverman and Spenser, and the interplay between the P.I. and Hawk. Parker's interest in exploring relationships, particularly Spenser's romantic life, earns varying responses depending on how much the critic prefers the old lone-wolf style of crime writing.
By the late �80s, Parker had acquired such a reputation that the agent for Raymond Chandler's estate tapped him to finish the legend's last book, Poodle Springs. It was a thankless mission bound to earn criticism, but Parker carried off the task well, thanks to his gift for to-the-point writing and deft plotting. "Parker isn't, even here, the writer Chandler was, but he's not a sentimentalist, and he darkens and deepens Marlowe," the Atlantic concluded. In 1991, Parker took a second crack at Chandler with the Big Sleep sequel Perchance to Dream.
Parker has taken detours from Spenser in the last few years, creating new series. In 1999, Family Honor introduced a female Boston private eye that Parker created with actress Helen Hunt in mind, Sunny Randall. Two years earlier, he introduced L.A.-to-New England cop transplant Jesse Stone in Night Passage. He is also the author of several stand-alone novels that have been well-received by his many fans. ��(Christina Nunez)Back to Top
Parker's main hero is named for Edmund Spenser, the 16th-century author of The Faerie Queene.
Parker had a hand in writing the scripts for some television adaptations of Spenser books starring Robert Urich, who also played Spenser in the ABC series from 1985-88. Urich suffered a battle with cancer and passed away in 2002, but adaptations continue to be made for A&E, starring Joe Mantegna. Parker approved of the new actor, telling the New York Times: ''I looked at Joe and I saw Spenser."
According to a profile in the New York Times, Parker met his wife Joan when the two were toddlers at a birthday party. The two reconnected as freshmen at Colby College and eventually had two sons. They credit the survival of their marriage to a house split into separate living spaces, so that the two can enjoy more independent lives than your average husband and wife.
Parker told fans in a 1999 Barnes & Noble.com chat that he thought his non-series historical novel All Our Yesterdays was "the best thing I've ever written."
Parker had a small speaking part in the 1997 A&E adaptation of Small Vices. How does he have time to write his Spenser books, plus the other series and the adaptation stuff? "Keep in mind, it takes me four or five months to write a novel, which leaves me a lot of time the rest of the year," he told Book magazine. "I don't like to hang around."Back to Top

Nicktoons Racing
Infogrames releases the first screens of its GBA kart-racer featuring Nickelodeon characters.
You know, when Nintendo's R&D department designed the Game Boy Advance, I bet they never realized how many development companies would create kart-racing titles for that hardware. We've got kart-racing games featuring Mario characters, Konami characters, Shrek characters, Antz characters....and now Infogrames is getting into the act with a kart-racing game featuring a whole bunch of characters from Nickelodeon cartoons. So it's no surprise that the game's name is Nicktoons Racing.
Though there's not a whole heck of a lot of details on the Game Boy Advance version of Nicktoons Racing, you can expect Mode-7-style graphics and eight player racing featuring such characters as CatDog, Spongebob Squarepants, The Angry Beavers, as well as folks from other cartoons like Rugrats, Ahhhh! Real Monsters, HeyArnold, and Ren & Stimpy. Sorry folks, no Invader Zim in this outing. 12 tracks will be unlockable, each based on the eight Nicktoons licensed for Nicktoons Racing.
Check out the first screens of the GBA version in action. Infogrames will have Nicktoons Racing on the show floor at the Electronic Entertainment Expo.

Low Natural Gas Prices Helping to Keep Customers Connected
Utility disconnects fell by more than eight percent while customers saved billions on energy bills.
Washington, D.C. – In cities and towns across the country, Americans are saving money and enjoying a better quality of life thanks to the nation's abundant supply of clean, domestic natural gas delivered by local natural gas utilities. This year, according to a
survey of American Gas Association member companies
, the number of customers disconnected from their utility service fell by more than eight percent, indicating that the low price of natural gas is allowing more people to access the energy they need. Additionally, the total amount owed by natural gas customers fell by nearly 15 percent.
"Natural gas plays a key role in rebuilding our nation's economy by saving money for homes and businesses and keeping our most vulnerable citizens from having to go without essential energy," said AGA President and CEO Dave McCurdy. "The low price of natural gas also creates jobs, is boosting the manufacturing and chemical industries and is a driver for infrastructure expansion while offering tremendous value to the 177 million Americans who use it every day."
Prices for natural gas this winter were nearly two percent lower compared to the year before, according to the Energy Information Administration, but the improvement in disconnect rates can also be attributed to the combination of an improving economy and assistance from federal, state and utility energy efficiency programs that all helped more households stay current on their bills.
Low domestic prices of natural gas have led to savings of almost $35 billion for residential natural gas customers over the past three years. Households that use natural gas appliances for heating, water heating, cooking and clothes drying spend an average of $654 less per year than homes using electricity for those applications. These savings are achieved not just through the comparatively low price point of natural gas, but also due to the efficiency of the delivery network operated by natural gas utilities. The direct use of natural gas maintains about 92 percent of its usable energy from production to the customer.
Natural gas utilities are committed to helping customers achieve even greater energy savings by investing heavily in energy efficiency programs. In 2011, natural gas utilities created total savings of more than $300 million for customers – about $107 per household – and offset 6.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide.
Still, the need for fuel assistance in this country remains great, and many customers struggle to make ends meet. The latest U.S. Census data shows that the poverty rate in 2012 was 15 percent – meaning about 46.5 million Americans lived in poverty. While overall disconnects are down, the number of customers who are at least 30 days late in paying their utility bills stayed stable compared to last year and accounts for more than 18 percent of customers. The Low Income Heating and Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is an essential federal program that can help ensure no Americans go without heat in winter or air conditioning in summer. To date, the Senate Appropriations Committee has approved $3.61 billion for LIHEAP in FY 2014. The House Appropriations Committee, however, has yet to set FY 2014 LIHEAP funding levels. While recognizing that Congress faces difficult decisions given the current fiscal climate, AGA continues to call for action ensuring responsible funding levels for LIHEAP. Greater certainty for overall LIHEAP funding and distribution timing is crucial to ensuring that states can plan budgets and receive funds necessary to provide assistance to Americans in need.
# # #
The American Gas Association, founded in 1918, represents more than 200 local energy companies that deliver clean natural gas throughout the United States. There are more than 71 million residential, commercial and industrial natural gas customers in the U.S., of which 94 percent — over 68 million customers — receive their gas from AGA members. Today, natural gas meets almost one-fourth of the United States' energy needs.

Catherine Zeta-Jones has reportedly entered a mental health treatment center for a bipolar disorder ... despite her rep squarely denying the story to TMZ.
One of Catherine's reps now tells People.com, "After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the decision to check in to a mental health facility for a brief stay to treat her Bipolar II disorder."
We're told Catherine had been in Silver Hill Hospital in Connecticut for treatment, but she has checked out.
KATHERINE, please SUE the medical facility so that they get to the bottom of who leaked in the information. DO it on behalf of all of us who value our medical privacy. You can donate the money to charity if you don't want it yourself. Someone please send her this note. Thank you and remember we have rights (or used to) in the USA.
she's a bitch! she doesn't have bi-polar. she simply enjoys being a **** to all...and, marrying old men to steal their money.
Wow I feel for CZJ she's went through a horrible ordeal withher husband's cancer and people are putting her down because she may now be ill herself? Complaining because she has money? If you don't like your life CHANGE IT!! Stop being so damn jealous, she's worked hard for her money!
How nice of TMZ to post this, and make certain that no one missed it. Nothing but class . . .
Prolonged time periods of intense stress, absolutely can aggravate previously well managed or dormant mental health symptoms. Regardless of what the finite details may be, hopefully she will make steady progress . . .
Wow all time low TMZ mental illness is real in America and around the world even Harvey is bipolar shame on you for making someone (if she is bipolar) feel less than normal...depression is amongst most of your commentors who post hate every day, people that most likely dont have jobs,or are unhappy at their jobs while getting paid and still read and post here, oh and I get females posting here but really? guys? I mean real men? it makes me laugh when I see Jack or Pete or whatever....times have changed...oh wait wallstreet sucks right now..right...Jack.
I saw some comment about her being a golddigger and that's what made her bipolar, well if they know her she has enough money of her own, and also won an academy award. But besides that it's ignorant people who don't know a thing about mental disorders
that seem to have the bigger problem and I pray that a member of their family is never affected by it. It is heartbreaking.
Everyone's mentally ill. Anyways. God. How can you hate on her? All TMZ commenters are mentally ill too. Or a bunch of kids not weened yet off their mamas tit. STFU
Stress can trigger this. Her husband has been ill AND she has been dealing with his nutty ex and son. The ex is suing him (again) even though they've been divorced for like 2934730 years for more money. She got like 60 million and wants more because she lost her money with Madoff. Douglas' son is a druggy who is doing hard prison time right now for heroin. That, along with a career and two young children is a lot to handle.
Stress kills. The first thing the dr. does is put you on something, don't care about side effects. Then you take something to ease that, then you remember reasons why you took the pills in the first place, and you lose your mind to depression, anger, confusion, hostility, dysfunction ... happens to us all ... get better Catherine - you're the Best
You people are really mean. Bipolar disorder symptoms are worse when someone is under alot of stress. An yes, bi-polar symptoms can "come and go". If she does indeed have this, then good for her for getting help and i wish her well.
She's seeing a shrink because she can't believe he's lasted sooo long! She imagined that she would be luxing on his fortune, without having to sleep with her grandpa, by now! Her ex-boyfriends have said that she was always a very ambitious, materialistic, kind of girl.
I was over this trick when she was caught smoking while pregnant. I'd have a lot more empathy for her if we found this out on our own. No one even knew she was in "rehab" yet she made sure to let us know. Besides, when your husband has been battling stage 4 cancer, I don't really want to hear about your bipolar disorder. Talk about comparing apples to oranges. Besides, since when do you go to rehab for mental illness??? Hollywood is so ridiculous sometimes.
For all you belligerent, heartless, pieces of trash that has to write something about a woman, any woman, not just a celebrity that is suffering from a mental illness, just proves you are the ones who need the treatment. Mental illness, is not something you ask for, it is a real condition, that you have no control over, unlike a cold, it doesn't just go away. Mental Illness is a chemical imbalance in ones brain, DO YOU NO UNDERSTAND THAT!!! If you came down with a disease, would you want people to make sinful comments about you, or if it happened to a family member of yours...with the way you write, you probably could care less. If she is a so called "gold digger", why has she been married so long to Michael Douglas, stood by him during his illness, raised their children with love and compasion. Your comments are just pathetic and you deserve to move to another country where everyone thinks in a controlle mental state, not in a free country such as this, you are as evil as they come, and remember, what goes around, comes around...and when it hits you, just remember what ignort comments you made. Please remember, she is a beautiful actress and has made her own money, did you forget that little fact...use the small amount of brain cells you have left, and think of others before you rattle off words out of your ass instead of your mind. I work in a facility that treats our young men and women returning from the war, some have issues, what hateful thing are you going to say about some of our bravest men and women we have in this country, because they may suffer with PTSD, if you even know what that is. You all make me sick, and to even call yourself a human being is sad. I wish her nothing but the best of luck, stay strong, you have done what most women could not have done, and it's all because of love, you have NOTHING to be ashamed of, be proud, and have faith, you will feel rested and back up before you know it. There are more people out there praying for your, your husband and your family...ignore, as I am sure you do, the stupidity of others...jealous is an ugly thing, and that is their problem.
God Bless you, and thank you for showing this country that even well known people have real human issues they deal with on a daily basis.
My son has bi-polar disorder. Stress makes it worse. It also makes it more difficult to stay on meds.
Some of the most creative, intelligent, and driven people on this planet have/had bi-polar disorder.
I wish her well.

No Discovery Can Disillusion Him
A phenomenal word from J. I. Packer's classic, Knowing God:
There is tremendous relief in knowing that [the Father's] love to me is utterly realistic, based at every point on prior knowledge of the worst about me, so that no discovery now can disillusion Him about me, in the way I am so often disillusioned about myself, and quench His determination to bless me....[F]or some unfathomable reason, He wants me as His friend, and desires to be my friend, and has given His Son to die for me in order to realize this purpose.
Sara's Story, written by Sara
I went into my freshman year at college with a plan to kill myself by Christmas break. I had excelled academically in high school and often reveled in my own sense of superiority. I wore black, I read existential literature, I had a lip ring. I was enlightened. More than anything I wanted to be tragic and important. I wanted to emulate the beauty that I had so often read about. I had a black hole inside of me that swallowed up anything and everyone around me. So that fall, instead of going to class, I woke up at noon and smoked pot in my dorm room. I ate mushrooms down by the river, and snorted cocaine and drank until I vomited through my nose.
When I came home for Thanksgiving, my stepsister noticed that I had lost a considerable amount of weight. She told my father, and he came down to the Twin Cities the following week and brought me home to Duluth where I was put into outpatient rehab.
After two months I convinced my parents that I was well enough to return to school for spring semester. And I did a little better. I attended one class, a creative writing course in which there was a boy on whom I had a crush. But I continued to do drugs and flunked or withdrew from the rest of my classes. At the end of the semester I moved into a rundown apartment in Stevens Square with my best friend and fully embraced the bohemian, hipster lifestyle. I did drink and apps in Uptown, I shoplifted designer dresses from Macy's, and supported my drug habit by becoming a stripper.
In February of 2007, one of my friends from the strip club invited me to go with her to a house in Uptown because she had a crush on one of the six boys who lived there. These boys all came from good, upper-middle class suburban homes and they, like me, had shunned their privileged upbringing to adopt the same drug-addled existence that I had. They had covered the walls of their house with obscene artwork and profane graffiti. The floor was littered with empty booze bottles and cigarette butts, and their eight cats had literally taken over the basement making that portion of the house unlivable. They called it "the Beatstreet." My girlfriend and I called it, "the Dumpster." It was essentially a crack house. And that is where I met my husband, Trent.
He was one of the six original Dumpster kids. The two of us made an instant connection, and from the day we met, we spent every moment, both waking and sleeping, together. We talked, we laughed, and we did drugs together. For the first time in two years, I felt like the world wasn't spinning out of control. And for the first time, I felt loved. I was a mess, but he didn't care. And that - that made me care for the first time about my own life. I quit stripping, I got a real job.
He and I moved into a cockroach-infested apartment on the corner of Franklin and Nicollet together. One night, after a long evening of pills and booze, we had a terrible fight that ended with him threatening to leave. I stood there in the middle of the trash heap that was our studio apartment and began to cry. I begged him not to go, not to leave me alone in the mess. I wept and wept. Then, out of nowhere, he asked if it was alright if we prayed together. I had never prayed or even believed in prayer but was so desperate. He held me and we prayed. I felt a little better, calmer at least.
We packed a change of clothes in a pillowcase and left the apartment. We got on the light rail and ended up homeless at Minnehaha Falls. We couldn't afford a hotel room so Trent called his parents, whose house he had been kicked out of prior to moving into the Beatstreet. He told them that I, his girlfriend (they didn't know we lived together) had been unwittingly duped into renting a cockroach-infested hole and asked them if I could stay with them while I looked for a new place to live. They agreed, and more than that, they also invited Trent back into their home so I wouldn't feel awkward, having only met them once before. They were very right wing, uptight, Republican types, everything that I was so obviously not. They had us sleep on separate floors and helped me to find a new apartment in Richfield.
So, Trent and I moved to the suburbs, stopped doing hard drugs at least, and were engaged by Christmas. We were married the following June and pregnant by July. And I, I was terrified. I wanted so badly for the baby to be a boy because I felt that I could never properly raise a girl, as I had been so very lost.
The following March, we had a beautiful baby daughter, and I was frozen with fear. I knew that I could only serve to screw her up, a fear that was reinforced by her colic. I suffered from post-partum depression, and Trent and I began to grow apart. A few years later, I became pregnant with my second child and the gap between us widened. We no longer found solace in each other, and our relationship became damaging for both of us. We fought all the time.
After one particular incident, I broke down to my mother-in-law and confessed the realities of our present and our past, including what I had done for a living back when Trent and I first met. She asked me to go to Bible Study Fellowship with her. Nothing else I had tried had worked so far, so I decided to go. They were studying Genesis. So I took my leftist liberal ideology and "out there" insights to the super uptight Edina ladies' Tuesday morning Bible study expecting to be met with much criticism and condemnation. But something surprising happened. I wasn't ostracized, I was listened to. They considered my opinions and treated me with the utmost respect even though I had treated them with very little.
And then something even more surprising happened, I began to listen to them. I still didn't believe what they believed but I respected them and I heard them. Trent and I also started to make headway by going to marriage counseling. Our relationship was still contentious, but we were again calmer. We started to hate each other less and less.
And then, one day, my in-laws asked to take us to church (they would have to because we didn't have a car). But we didn't like their church, so Trent suggested his brother's church, Redeemer Bible Church. And we came. We came and I still wasn't convinced. I enjoyed the story of the Bible, I saw what its narrative could do for people on an emotional as well as psychological level, but it didn't do that for me. Nevertheless, I began reading the Bible. I thought, "I understand all the literary nuances I'm able great observations, but I can't feel it; I don't feel it." I worried that maybe I wasn't chosen, that my mind just didn't work that way, that I was incapable of simple faith.
But I loved the Word just the same. I found it profoundly beautiful. I didn't have the gift of grace, but I had other gifts and I embraced them. I embraced my logical mind and quizzical nature and reveled in my cognitive approach to the Bible. Maybe I didn't believe that Jesus was the son of God, but I was moved by the story just the same and appreciated its significance.
And then, something miraculous and inexplicable happen. I was chosen. It was instantaneous and without cause. I believed in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and only God could have given that to me. I had tried long and hard and still simply could not believe until I could. It was nothing I did or didn't do; I just woke up one day and awoke. And it makes me want to cry. I feel so unworthy but so loved and so grateful.
And that's how I became a Christian, all of it really. God came to me before I even knew He existed. He spoke my language - he spoke arrogant, hipster, douche bag to me - the only language at the time that I spoke. He sent me my parents and my step-sister, he sent me Trent, he sent me my in-laws, he sent me my girls, he sent the BSF ladies, he sent me his Son. He gave my life a story from which I was able to acquire the learned skill of love so that I might come to understand the love he had for me the whole time.
No Finer Ambassador
The Commissioner of Major League Baseball, Bud Selig, had this to say about Derek Jeter, who announced that he would retire at the end of the 2014 season:
In 21-plus years in which I have served as Commissioner, Major League Baseball has had no finer ambassador than Derek Jeter.
What a commendation!
Of course, every Christian is an ambassador, too: "Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God" (2 Cor 5:20).
May each of us strive for the commendation of being no finer ambassador for the Christian faith: "Well done, good and faithful servant" (Matt 25:21).
Seven Goals for Youth Ministry
Here's a vision of seven characteristics we're aiming to develop in our church's students in Grades 7-12:
- They have a working knowledge of the essentials of the gospel, the contents of the Bible, the basics of theology, and the nature of the Christian life.
- They have a maturing personal relationship with Jesus as evidenced by a rich life of private worship (prayer and meditation on Scripture).
- They are critical Christian thinkers, running all the areas of human knowledge and enquiry through the grid of a Reformed worldview.
- They have maturing relationships with the members of their immediate family, relating to their parents more and more as brothers and sisters in Christ and seeking to love their siblings well, pointing them to the cross.
- They have a growing concern for their friends who aren't yet Christians and with humble boldness and joy actively seek to share the gospel with them.
- They serve in the local church in ways that complement rather than conflict with the realities of student life.
- They are just plain fun to be around because the gospel has made them normal, engaging, interesting, and interested in other people's lives.
Only Two Pastoral Problems
Paraphrasing the Puritan, John Owen from his book, A Treatise of the Dominion of Sin and Grace, Sinclair Ferguson says,
There are actually only ever two pastoral problems you will ever encounter. The first is this: persuading those who are under the dominion of sin that they are under the dominion of sin. That's the task of evangelism. And [second], persuading those who are no longer under the dominion of sin that they are no longer under the dominion of sin because they're Christ's.
Saved by Pastoring
I've been a pastor almost 19 years, and for 15 of those years I had been deeply troubled by the truth that I believed I needed the pastorate to stay on the straight and narrow. I'm such a weak person that I felt I couldn't survive as a Christian outside of the work of the local church.
My trouble over this came from remarks by men I respect to the effect that if my spiritual life would be weakened apart from pastoral ministry, I should reconsider whether or not I had been called to the office. But then I heard 1 Tim 4:16 with fresh ears:
Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.
What this means is that every pastor - not only me, but every pastor - is saved by his pastoring. What a relief! The fact that the Lord has called me to this work means that I need this work for my sanctification. It's one of the many reasons it's so important. We aren't just saving our hearers; we're saving ourselves.
Rescue Can Be Painful
The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their foremen, "You shall no longer give the people straw to make bricks, as in the past; let them go and gather straw for themselves" (Exod 5:6-7).
But wait a second! Didn't God say that he was going to rescue his people from the Egyptians? Yes, he did:
The LORD said, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey" (Exod 3:7-8).
What happens in Exodus 5 doesn't seem as if the Israelites' redemption is moving forward; it seems like it's moving backward. But it's not. This is how God is going to rescue them – by hardening Pharaoh's heart and multiplying his miracles in the land of Egypt.
This is very instructive for us. We ask the Lord to rescue us and because of what Jesus has done, our daily rescue is certain. But often (can I say often?) the Lord's rescue is not the rescue of relief, but the rescue of refinement, as Paul Tripp would say. It's God's stormy grace.
Six Wonderful Truths Worth Celebrating
At the heart of Christianity is an exchange of records.
You bring your record to God (complete with all your sin and failure and guilt and shame and regret, along with your morality and religiosity), and in exchange, God gives you Jesus' flawless record in its place, which is all yours simply by trusting in Christ alone. This is the only ground of acceptance with God. Either you bring him Christ's record or you are rejected forever.
Martin Luther has famously called this "a wonderful exchange":
[T]his is that mystery which is rich in divine grace to sinners: [where], by a wonderful exchange, our sins are no longer ours but Christ's: and the righteousness of Christ is ours. He has imparted that [righteousness to] us, that he might clothe us with it, and fill us with it: and he has taken our evils upon himself that he might deliver us from them….[N]ow, the righteousness of Christ is…ours objectively…and so, our sins are…Christ's objectively….For in the same manner [that] he grieved and suffered in our sins...we rejoice and glory in his righteousness.
This marvelous paragraph contains at least six truths:
- Your sins are no longer yours. They don't even belong to you any more. They belong to Christ. And not just yesterday's sins; tomorrow's, too.
- Jesus' righteousness is yours. Your record is Jesus' record credited in your name. He has imparted it to you. Given it to you as a gift, something you didn't lift a finger for. So it's not just that your sins aren't yours any more; it's that what IS yours is Christ's perfectly lived life! And he's given you his life in a certain way…
- You are clothed in Jesus' righteousness. It covers you completely. It's wrapped around you like a blanket.
- You are filled with Jesus' righteousness. It's not only outside of you, covering you completely, but it's also inside of you, filling up your entire life.
- The wonderful exchange is objective. Your sin is Christ's objectively. His righteousness is yours objectively, which means that it's true whether you feel it or not. You may have woken up this morning suspicious of yourself, condemning yourself, "Who are you to go to church today?" "You're hung over." Or, "You just had a knock-down-drag-out with your wife." Or, "You just told your daughter you wish she'd never been born." So you wonder: "Can God accept me? Will he?" And you wonder because your behavior makes you feel so unacceptable. What do you do with this? You remember that the wonderful exchange is objective. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether or not or how much you feel accepted, you're objectively accepted because your sin isn't yours any more. It's Christ's. Objectively! And his righteousness is yours, too. The only righteousness that God does accept is objectively yours. And so…
- Your celebration over what God has done for you can be as high as Jesus' sadness was low when he suffered and died for your sins. The truth of the wonderful exchange leads to celebration. And no wonder. Nothing is more worth celebrating than the wonderful exchange of the gospel.
Not a Resolution, but a Request
Resolutions are not evil, but they do have the flavor of an exercise in self-effort: "This year's going to be different. I'm going to take the spiritual bull by the horns and git-r-done!" So for me, a prayer request rather than a resolution seems in order. For 2014 it's this:
Heavenly Father, let me not seek to comfort myself from feelings of rejection and/or isolation by anything or anyone other than Jesus Christ. Amen.
What's yours? Write it down. Grab a friend to join you in prayer. Then sit back in 2014 and witness the Lord move in your life to do exceeding abundantly beyond all you can ask or imagine (Eph 3:20-21).
The Virgin Birth Is Reasonable
In the Apostles' Creed, Christians confess their belief in Jesus Christ, born of the Virgin Mary, which is to say that Christianity teaches that Mary, Jesus' mom, conceived and became pregnant without a human male partner. Sound preposterous? It should! Because it's a miracle.
However, what many people in our culture say is that science (in this case, the science of human reproduction) has proven the impossibility of miracles (the virgin birth). The argument is that a virgin birth can't happen because it's scientifically impossible.
This may sound compelling, but if you reduce it to its essence, you'll see that it's not only not compelling, but positively irrational.
Whenever a scientist looks at anything in the world, he or she has to assume a natural cause. And the reason why science assumes natural causes is that natural causes are the only kind the scientific method can address. If there were a supernatural cause of something, science, by definition, could not through its own methodology discover it because science is limited in what it can discover to the natural world. Therefore, the suggestion that science proves the impossibility of miracles is circular: Since science by its nature can't discover supernatural causes, such causes can't exist (Timothy Keller, The Reason for God, p. 86).
Let me illustrate.
In the 1995 film, "Apollo 13," the astronauts have an accident that leaves them without enough clean air to return to earth. But there is a way to solve their dilemma - replace a damaged air filter. The only problem is that they don't have one.
So at Mission Control, the engineers and scientists dump onto a conference table a box of every last object available to the astronauts on the ship, including their socks! Then one of them says, "We need to figure out how to make a filter only from the stuff on this table."
This is how science works. All that is on board is the natural world. You can't smuggle anything in from the outside any more than you could have smuggled anything onto that spacecraft. Science, by definition, can only use the stuff on the table - and the stuff on the table is entirely natural.
Now this is not controversial. It's just how science works. It's limited in what it can discover and explain to the natural world. The problem comes when science overreaches: "Since science deals only with natural causes, there can be no supernatural ones." This is like saying, "Since we can only use the materials on the spacecraft, materials outside the spacecraft don't exist." This is a leap. And it's an irrational leap because it's a circular argument, assuming its conclusion as its major premise.
So science does not disprove miracles like the virgin birth. Science, by definition, can't prove or disprove the miraculous. All it can do is tell you about nature. It can't tell you a single thing about supernature.
Please don't misunderstand. I'm not saying that since science can't prove or disprove miracles, miracles exist. Not at all! All I'm saying is that the belief in the miraculous can't be overturned by appeals to science. And it means that Christianity's belief in the miraculous, in the supernatural, is not anti-scientific. But it is supra-scientific or extra-scientific - it belongs to a category of thought outside and above the scope of science.
So this Christmas, don't feel like your faith in the virgin birth necessarily makes you an anti-intellectual. It doesn't. It only makes you someone who believes in the miracle that saves everyone who trusts in the offspring of the virgin's womb.

Most retail businesses follow a U shape pattern i.e. good at the beginning and the end of the year, but bad in between. This year, many can expect an extremely bad month because of the World cup. During the last World cup, it did seem that our business had collapsed.

Value Prediction is a relatively new technique to increase instruction-level parallelism by breaking true data dependence chains. A value prediction architecture produces values, which may be later consumed by instructions that execute speculatively using the predicted value. This paper examines selective techniques for using value prediction in the presence of predictor capacity constraints and reasonable misprediction penalties. We examine prediction and confidence mechanisms in light of these constraints, and we minimize capacity conflicts through instruction filtering. The latter technique filters which instructions put values into the value prediction table. We examine filtering techniques based on instruction type, as well as giving priority to instructions belonging to the longest data dependence path in the processor's active instruction window. We apply filtering both to the producers of predicted values and the consumers. In addition, we examine the benefit of using different confidence levels for instructions using predicted values on the longest dependence path. 1

Treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Diarrhea
People who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and diarrhea often find relief from several types of treatment.
Treatment options include dietary changes, medication, stress reduction, behavioral therapy, and alternative therapy. You may need to try just one, or you may need a combination of these approaches to get relief.
Good Foods for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) With Constipation
If you have IBS with constipation you probably already know how important fiber-rich foods are for your comfort. Making the American Dietetic Association's recommendation to eat 20-35 grams of fiber a day your mealtime mantra is a great place to start. But in order for a high-fiber eating plan to work its magic, you have to do three things: Reach the higher-fiber target (of 20-35 grams of fiber a day) almost every day. Spread high-fiber foods throughout the day so it works better. Drink...

After all, IBS is a complex syndrome that not only involves problems with bowel movement, but also abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating, and gas. The goal of treatment is to improve all of your symptoms.
To find out what treatment is right for you, talk with your doctor. Never attempt to treat yourself for IBS without consulting with a doctor. Some over-the-counter medicines and supplements have health risks if taken for a long time. Your doctor will likely recommend one or a combination of the following treatment strategies.
IBS and Diet
A few changes in your diet may help ease IBS with diarrhea.
Avoid chocolate, alcohol, caffeine, carbonated drinks, the artificial sweetener sorbitol (found in sugarless gum and mints), and fructose (the simple sugar found in honey and many fruits). These can worsen diarrhea symptoms. Your eating history can help you determine if any of these are triggers for your symptoms.
Fried fare and too much fiber can also worsen symptoms. This doesn't mean you should avoid fiber altogether. The nutrient works to prevent diseases such as colon cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Plus, it keeps your diarrhea from turning into constipation. However fiber sometimes leads to flatulence and bloating.
With the diarrhea, it's best to consume soluble -- as opposed to insoluble -- fiber. It takes a longer time to leave the digestive system, says Leslie Bonci, MPH, RD, author of the "American Dietetic Association Guide to Better Digestion."
Good sources of soluble fiber include oat bran, barley, the flesh of fruit (as opposed to the skin), and navy, pinto, and lima beans.
It may also help to drink six to eight glasses of plain water a day. Bonci suggests drinking water an hour before or an hour after meals. Drinking water with meals may make the food run through your system a little faster.
Ask your doctor to test you for lactose intolerance (the inability to properly digest milk products), or celiac sprue (a serious disease in which foods with gluten can damage the intestine). These digestive ailments can cause diarrhea, bloating, and cramping.
It might also help if you keep a record of the foods you eat, and their effect on you. Since different foods can impact people in different ways, keeping an IBS symptom journal can help you and your physician figure out what works for you.
Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medicines for IBS
Many sufferers and doctors turn to OTC antidiarrhea drugs such as Imodium, Maalox, and Kaopectate for relief of IBS with diarrhea.
