Sacral Authority and Public Spirituality: Inculturation and the Crisis of Korean Protestant Christianity
Hak Joon Lee, Fuller Theological Seminary/Im Colloquium of Korean Christianity
Tuesday, February 14, 2012
164 Royce Hall
This paper studies the sacral nature and characteristics of the Korean Protestant Church. The Korean Protestant Church, regardless of its denominational variations, demonstrates unique characteristics that are distinctive from its Western counterparts, namely, a sacral nature that is exhibited in the numinous understanding of time (early dawn service, the Sabbath), space (sanctuary), and person (clergy). The paper contends that this sacral nature is the consequence of the Korean Protestant Church's longstanding assimilation into indigenous shamanism—its religious orientation, modality, and practices.
This assimilation has gradually transformed what was once a vibrant prophetic form of Korean Protestantism in its early history into a religion that is mostly apolitical, sacral, and utilitarian in nature. The paper furthers that although the sacralization of Korean Protestant Christianity has contributed to its explosive growth by providing necessary pastoral care for lay Christians living in a highly transitional society, the Korean Protestant Church now faces a profound challenge as Korean society has become more open-minded, progressive, and democratic. This new challenge calls for a critical revision of the ecclesiology and ministerial practices of Korean Protestant Christianity, which responds to the demand for ecclesiastical democracy, transparency, public engagement, and in particular, the construction of ecclesiology that balances pastoral and prophetic ministry in a new Korean social context.

AWS Free Tier includes 750hrs of Micro DB Instance each month for one year, 20GB of Storage, and 20GB for Backups with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS).
Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) is a web service that makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient and resizable capacity while managing time-consuming database administration tasks, freeing you up to focus on your applications and business.
With new M3 database instances, you can now get 50% more computational capability/core at 6% lower price than M1 instances. Learn more »
Amazon RDS gives you access to the capabilities of a familiar MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, or PostgreSQL database engine. This means that the code, applications, and tools you already use today with your existing databases can be used with Amazon RDS. Amazon RDS automatically patches the database software and backs up your database, storing the backups for a user-defined retention period and enabling point-in-time recovery. You benefit from the flexibility of being able to scale the compute resources or storage capacity associated with your Database Instance (DB Instance) via a single API call.
Amazon RDS DB Instances can be provisioned with either standard storage or Provisioned IOPS storage. Amazon RDS Provisioned IOPS is a storage option designed to deliver fast, predictable, and consistent I/O performance, and is optimized for I/O-intensive, transactional (OLTP) database workloads.
In addition, Amazon RDS makes it easy to use replication to enhance availability and reliability for production workloads. Using the Multi-AZ deployment option you can run mission critical workloads with high availability and built-in automated fail-over from your primary database to a synchronously replicated secondary database in case of a failure. Amazon RDS for MySQL also enables you to scale out beyond the capacity of a single database deployment for read-heavy database workloads. As with all Amazon Web Services, there are no up-front investments required, and you pay only for the resources you use.
Amazon RDS makes it easy to go from project conception to deployment. Use the AWS Management Console or simple API calls to access the capabilities of a production-ready relational database in minutes without worrying about infrastructure provisioning or installing and maintaining database software.
Amazon RDS handles time-consuming database management tasks, such as backups, patch management, and replication, allowing you to pursue higher value application development or database refinements.
With Amazon RDS, you get native access to a relational database. This facilitates compatibility with your existing tools and applications. In addition, Amazon RDS gives you optional control over which supported MySQL DB Engine Version or Oracle DB Engine Version powers your DB Instance via DB Engine Version Management.
Amazon RDS Provisioned IOPS is a high performance storage option designed to deliver fast, predictable, and consistent performance for I/O intensive transactional database workloads. You can provision from 1,000 IOPS to 30,000 IOPS per DB Instance. Note that maximum realized IOPS will vary by engine type.
You can scale the compute and storage resources available to your database to meet your application needs using the Amazon RDS API or the AWS Management Console. If you are using Amazon RDS Provisioned IOPS storage with Amazon RDS for MySQL, Oracle, or PostgreSQL, you can provision and scale the storage up to 3TB and IOPS to up to 30,000. Note that maximum realized IOPS will vary by engine type. In addition, for the MySQL database engine, you can also associate one or more Read Replicas with your database instance deployment, enabling you to scale beyond the capacity of a single database instance for read-heavy workloads.
Amazon RDS has multiple features that enhance reliability for critical production databases, including automated backups, DB snapshots, automatic host replacement, and Multi-AZ deployments for the MySQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL database engines. Amazon RDS runs on the same highly reliable infrastructure used by other Amazon Web Services.
Amazon RDS is tightly integrated with other Amazon Web Services. For example, an application running in Amazon EC2 will experience low-latency database access to an Amazon RDS DB Instance in the same region.
Amazon RDS provides a number of mechanisms to secure your DB Instances.
- Amazon RDS includes web service interfaces to configure firewall settings that control network access to your database.
- Amazon RDS allows you to run your DB Instances in Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). Amazon VPC enables you to isolate your DB Instances by specifying the IP range you wish to use, and connect to your existing IT infrastructure through industry-standard encrypted IPsec VPN. To learn more about Amazon RDS in VPC, refer to the Amazon RDS User Guide.
You pay very low rates and only for the resources you actually consume. In addition, you benefit from the option of On-Demand pricing with no up-front or long-term commitments, or even lower hourly rates via our reserved pricing option.
- On-Demand DB Instances – On-Demand DB Instances let you pay for compute capacity by the hour with no long-term commitments. This frees you from the costs and complexities of planning, purchasing, and maintaining hardware and transforms what are commonly large fixed costs into much smaller variable costs.
- Reserved DB Instances – Reserved DB Instances give you the option to make a low, one-time payment for each DB Instance you want to reserve and in turn receive a significant discount on the hourly usage charge for that DB Instance. Depending on your usage, you can choose between three Reserved DB Instance types (Light, Medium, and Heavy Utilization) and receive anywhere between 30% and 55% of discount over On-Demand prices. To learn more, please visit our Reserved DB Instances page.

A person with polyuria makes large amounts of urine. In uncontrolled diabetes, polyuria occurs because of high blood sugar levels. The kidneys remove some of this excess sugar from the body. To do this, the kidneys produce abnormally large amounts of urine.

On a blustery November morning before Thanksgiving, new IWW members, a diverse group of bakers at Amy's Bread, kicked off an organizing campaign by marching to the site of the prominent food factory in Queens, New York, to voice their demands. Amy's Bread supplies many of the city's most exclusive markets, restaurants, and grocery stores. The company is enjoying enormous success with an image of responsibility, sustainability, and community orientation. Now, after many long months of organizing in secret, the workers and their allies are joining together to ask Amy's Bread to live up to their promises.

On the morning of November 15th in New York, 28 year old hackivist Jeremy Hammond was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for violation of Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. He used his computer skills to hack into and release over 5 million files of the private security firm Strategic Forecasting, Inc., or "Stratfor" exposing the corporate and government spying on activists domestically and abroad amongst other discoveries.
Existing prisoner support groups Portland Anarchist Black Cross, Oregon Jericho, Radical Prisoner Support Portland, and newly formed Portland IWW General Defense Committee (GDC) Local 1 had already had a benefit planned for him the next evening at The Red & Black Cafe. There was music by Irie Idea, Intentional Overtones, and Years of Lead, as well as a raffle, and readings of Jeremy's own words in his plea and sentencing statements.

Rakesh Roshan was very keen on keeping a side braid for Kangana Ranaut but it looked a lot like Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft. So, we decided to experiment with the hair style for a touch of the futuristic side: Gavin Miguel, designer
Ordinary outfits seldom create history. Perhaps that is one reason why film-maker Rakesh Roshan made sure that he is involved in each and every step of the costume-making process of his upcoming film, Krrish 3. The director gave a lot of creative liberty to the costume designers of the film, in order to come up with unique looks for Kaal and Kaya, played by Vivek Oberoi and Kangana Ranaut respectively. No wonder, their looks created a lot of curiosity before it was officially unveiled. Designer Gavin Miguel, who is known for his out-of-the-box designs in films like Naach was roped in by the film-maker to create unique looks for the two actors.
Close on Batman�s heels
Miguel mentioned that he became a part of the project pretty late and started working on Kangana Ranaut�s look as soon as he came on board. �I was told that Kaya is a mutant with a svelte side to her personality. So I made a few sketches and he immediately gave it a nod,� stated Miguel. Roshan wanted the outfit to be light and flexible, to make sure that Kangana Ranaut does all her stunts without any restrictions. �She has a lot of toughness in her personality. So instead of looking at feminine superheroes for reference, I looked at Batman. We wanted the outfit to maintain a balance of strength meets femininity, so that even if there is an emotional scene, a streak of toughness is still maintained. Miguel stayed away from using the usual black and red colour palette, which is usually associated with such characters. �We decided to venture into more interesting colours like electric gray, silver and black with metallic shades.
Rubbery tales
To get the right fabric for her costume, Miguel experimented with different fabrics like four way stretch, a mix of polythene stretch among others. Not happy with the

State recommends rejecting bids to take over liquor-distribution center
The state's budgeting office Wednesday recommended the Washington State Liquor Control Board reject bids to take over its distribution center in Seattle.
Seattle Times business reporter
The state's budgeting office has recommended that the Washington State Liquor Control Board not accept proposals from two companies that bid to take over its distribution center in Seattle.
The Legislature, looking for new revenue to help patch a hole in the state budget, last spring directed the Office of Financial Management (OFM) to seek proposals to lease the center, now run by the Liquor Control Board.
The board said it accepts OFM's decision, which "validates the efficiency of our existing distribution operations."
If one of the proposals had been accepted, the state would have continued to order liquor, set prices and sell it through state-run and state-contracted liquor stores.
The bidding took place while Costco Wholesale has promoted Initiative 1183, which would sell off state liquor stores and the distribution center and allow grocery stores to sell spirits.
The two contractors said in their proposals, submitted in September, that they would bring more money for the state. But the budgeting office said the proposals would have cost the state money over the long haul in exchange for fast cash now.
"Neither proposal results in net positive financial benefit to the state or local government or meets the best interest of the state," OFM Director Marty Brown wrote in a letter to the Liquor Control Board.
Neither proposal — one from Washington Beverage and the other from Washington State Beverage Logistics — provided enough assurance it could achieve its projected sales growth, Brown wrote. Without that growth, the state would be taking a significant financial risk.

Quotes From Summer 2009 TCA Press Tour 10 Great Quotes From the TCA Press Tour by POPSUGAR Entertainment 8/10/09 6 Reactions 0 Shares Print 0 0 0 0 0 When you put a bunch of TV stars and creative types in a room with a bunch of snappy journalists, hilarity is bound to (at least occasionally) ensue. While not every panel at the TCA press tour is a barrel of laughs, there are always a few that keep us chuckling through the whole session. And even the duller panels can have a line or two that draws snickers all day long. So, without further ado, here are 10 of the quotes that got me laughing during my week in Pasadena.

We briefly reviewed battery chargers in a previous post "The Best Rechargeable Batteries of 2013". But let's take a look at the best "Universal Battery Chargers". These are chargers that can handle AAA, AA, C, D sized cells, and well as 9V cells.
Hand-Powered Night Vision Scope
This device is a night vision scope, but it doesn't require any batteries. Instead, it's has a lever-activated power supply, so you can generate your own power ad hoc. You'll can see in the night without fear of an energy failture. It is priced around $200. See Camping Station or other vendors.
Minimalist LED Headlamp For Kids
This is a nice children's headlamp for about $18. We like it because it uses three bright, energy-efficient LEDs. So the batteries will last hundreds of hours. It has three settings: high, low and flash. Available at Amazon. See also this similar headlamp from Amazon.
Rayovac I-C3 NiMH Chargers and Batteries
Rayovac has released a new line of NiMH batteries called "I-C3" which charge in 15 minutes. Based own experience, these batteries do live up to their claim and recharge in 15 minutes and are very long lasting.
NiMh Battery Charger: POWER 2000 XP444AC-DC
One of the best charger/battery series available. The batteries are rated at 2400mAh – one of the most powerful out there. Quick charges in about an hour, then switches to trickle charge. Comes with a 12V adaptor. Purchase from: Amazon ($29.88)

What is Microfinance: A View from the Field
They were village women in braids, highland hats and tiny pumps. Some even had babies slung to their backs. But they all made their way about the makeshift soccer pitch at pace, kicking around a half-deflated ball. We — of hiking shoes, branded outdoor clothing and little to weigh us down – were getting our butts kicked.
We had just come from a mountaintop meeting between borrowers and loan officers from Espoir, an Ecuadoran microfinance field partner of Kiva. The borrowers' homes were tucked in the hills of southern Ecuador in a little village, the road to which was often washed out and impassable. Continue Reading »

Brazilian Senate Elects Chief Who Faces Supreme Court Graft Probe (Brasilia)
(c) 2013, Bloomberg News.
BRASILIA, Brazil — Brazil's Senate on Friday elected as its leader a government ally who is being investigated by the Supreme Court over fraud allegations, as President Dilma Rousseff seeks to maintain support to pass legislation.
Renan Calheiros, from the rural state of Alagoas, was elected head of the Senate in a secret ballot over protests from the opposition and some pro-government lawmakers. A leader of the PMDB party, the largest member of the governing coalition, Calheiros resigned as head of the Senate in 2007 over media reports that a construction company made regular alimony payments to his daughter in exchange for favors.
Rousseff, since coming to power two years ago, has taken a harder line against corruption than her predecessor and mentor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, firing several members of her Cabinet accused of graft. The house-cleaning, while popular with Brazilians, has angered members of her Workers' Party and coalition partners whose support she'll need to help boost economic growth before an expected election run in 2014.
"She would certainly like a different name but she needs her coalition united and can't continue fueling internal disputes," Rafael Cortez, a political analyst with Tendencias Consultoria Integrada in Sao Paulo, said in a phone interview. "The risk is that an anti-corruption campaign surrounding Calheiros could contaminate her legislative agenda."
Calheiros, 57, is still being investigated by the Supreme Court in three separate cases, according to documents on the court's website. He is accused of embezzling public funds and committing perjury to cover-up the child-maintenance payments, Epoca Magazine said, citing a sealed indictment filed by prosecutors it obtained.
Public Prosecutor Roberto Gurgel Thursday said that Calheiros turned in false receipts to justify the use of his Senate expense account, according to Globo's G1 news site.
Calheiro's press office did not return phone calls seeking comment. In his acceptance speech, Calheiros pledged to make the Senate more transparent and open to society.
"No institution can think it is perfect," he said in a speech on the chamber floor after taking command of the Senate from former Brazilian President Jose Sarney, who also belongs to the PMDB party, whose full name is the Democratic Movement of Brazil Party.
A landmark corruption case last year, known as the mensalao, struck a chord with Brazilians fed up with graft- ridden politics. The world's second-biggest emerging economy ranked 69th among 176 countries, behind Cuba and Saudi Arabia, in Transparency International's 2012 study of corruption perceptions around the world.

If you're older than 35 and hoping to get pregnant, you're in good company. Many women are delaying pregnancy well into their 30s and beyond — and delivering healthy babies. Taking special care can help give your baby the best start.
The biological clock is a fact of life, but there's nothing magical about age 35. It's simply an age at which various risks become discussion worthy. For example:
The age of your baby's biological father also can pose risks. Men might experience a decline in fertility starting in their late 30s. Some research suggests that children born to men 40 and older have a higher risk of autism than do children of men younger than 30. A 2010 study also suggests an increased risk of autism in children born to a couple in which the father is older than 40 and the mother is younger than 30. Further research is needed, however. Men older than 50 are more likely to have babies with certain birth defects, such as the bone growth disorder achondroplasia, due to age-related genetic mutations. The risk of cognitive impairment also might be higher for children of older fathers. In a 2009 study, children born to older men scored slightly lower on tests measuring concentration, memory, reading and reasoning skills through age 7.

Kingdom | Phylum | Class | Order | Family |
Scientific Name: | Brycon orthotaenia |
Species Authority: | Günther, 1864 |
Synonym/s: |
Brycon lundii Lütken, 1875
Red List Category & Criteria: | Vulnerable A2cd ver 3.1 |
Year Published: | 2009 |
Date Assessed: | 2007-03-01 |
Assessor/s: | Reis, R & Lima, F. |
Reviewer/s: | Collen, B., Darwall, W., Ram, M. & Smith, K. (SRLI Freshwater Fish Evaluation Workshop) |
Justification: Assessed as Vulnerable due to an inferred population reduction of greater than 30% over the last 10 years, based on a decline in habitat quality, fisheries catches and forest cover. In addition, there are reports of some populations being close to extinction. There is no evidence that the threats which B. orthotaenia faces will cease in the near future, and therefore it is suspected that population declines will continue. |
Range Description: | This species is known from the Lower São Francisco River basin in Brazil but not below the great dam of Sobradinho. |
Countries: | Native: Brazil (Alagoas, Bahia, Minas Gerais, Sergipe) |
Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: | The global population is decreasing, although detailed information is not yet available. |
Population Trend: | Decreasing |
Habitat and Ecology: | B. orthotaenia is a benthopelagic (ecological region at the lowest level of the water body) species. Plant material is an important part of the diet of adult Brycon species; and thus these fish play a role in the dispersal of plants whose fruits they eat (Berra 2001). |
Systems: | Freshwater |
Major Threat(s): |
It is suspected that the species has declined considerably over the past several decades in the São Francisco basin. It is likely that due to damming over the lowest portion of the region it is no longer present. Human population growth and an increase in agricultural and industrial activities, as well as dam construction, mineral extraction, deforestation and predatory fishing have caused environment degradation in the São Francisco river. It was one of the main fishing resources in Brazil, but the fisheries are presently experiencing a decline. Taking this into consideration, B. orthotaenia, which is an important species for commercial fishing, is threatened with extinction in some regions of the São Francisco basin (Gonçalves et al. 2006). Due to their dependence on plant material in their diet, the destruction of rainforests surrounding their habitat could have serious consequences for this species. The São Francisco basin has lost 64.4% of its original forest (based on an estimate of the extent of closed canopy forest in existence 8,000 years ago in the absence of human impact), and the basin is now primarily cropland (Water Resources eAtlas 2005). |
Conservation Actions: | There are no conservation actions in place at present, and a population monitoring programme is urgently needed to better understand the threats and numbers remaining, with a recovery programme in mind. |
Citation: | Reis, R & Lima, F. 2009. Brycon orthotaenia. In: IUCN 2013. IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Version 2013.2. <www.iucnredlist.org>. Downloaded on 08 March 2014. |

Radiant Energy has announced that beginning this winter, airlines at John F. Kennedy International Airport will be able to deice aircraft as large as a B747-300 at a new facility installed by Radiant Energy that will use infrared energy to melt and evaporate ice and snow, under a project approved by the Port Authority Board of Commissioners. "This is a result of the hard work and cooperation of our dedicated employees and people at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the John F. Kennedy International Airport," said Colin Digout, President of Radiant Energy. "This will be a great opportunity to showcase our deicing facility to the many premier global airlines that serve JFK. We look forward to working with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey on this project."
Radiant's InfraTek system is the only infrared radiant system approved by the Federal Aviation Administration for deicing commercial aircraft. It was installed at Newark Liberty International Airport for Continental Airlines and first used during the winter of 1999-2000.
"Airport operators and airlines must run a coordinated, cooperative operation during wintry weather to avoid inconveniencing travelers," Port Authority Chairman Anthony R. Coscia said. "The Port Authority uses the latest snow-clearing equipment to keep runways free and clear, while airlines work continuously to clean ice and snow from their aircraft. The new deicing facility, similar to one that has proved successful at Newark Liberty International Airport, will help make winter operations at JFK even more efficient, further reducing the possibility of weather-related delays and cancellations."
Port Authority Vice Chairman Charles A. Gargano said, "With about 86 million annual passengers, this region is the world's greatest origin-and-destination market. To maintain our competitiveness, we must ensure our airports house the best and latest technologies, such as infrared radiant deicing, and we remain committed to providing cutting-edge amenities that will make our customers' experience safe, secure and pleasant."
Port Authority Executive Director Joseph J. Seymour said, "Few people think about snow in June, but we will reap the benefits in January. This facility will enable carriers at JFK to improve their on-time performance for departures and minimize cancellations while strengthening the airport's position as a premier global gateway."
Radiant is expected to begin construction in July and the project will be complete in time for winter. The facility, which is being built and will be operated by Radiant Aviation Services, has an estimated cost of $9.5 million. About two-thirds of the cost is being paid for with an FAA grant, and several airlines already have indicated their intention to use the facility, which will cover remaining construction and operation costs.

Top Five Tips for Therapy-Free Green Living
on July 4th, 2013 at 12:52 amNo wonder environmentalists are often depressed – we can make things so complicated! I realized this while talking to my therapist about my stress level.

Re: Local Hay prices??Now that the rain has started prices will drop here. Last couple of years the prices went way up cause nothing was growing well. I think around $20-25 for big rounds is all they'll bring this summer.

Does anyone have a performance bond? Can you tell me the secret to getting one? We have applied and been denied. I heard that they were hard to get. What do you have to have or do to get one? Any imformation would be appreciated!
Are you bidding public work? Why were you turned down? Are you a new company? Less than 5yrs old?
They should not be hard to get, but you need to find the right broker. A lot of them do not write for construction anymore. In the beginning, you will have a higher rating, say 1.5%, and as you do more work, it may drop to under one percent. You will have to show records of jobs etc in the beginning to get your first bond, and your bonding capacity will not be that much unless you use them over and over. Its kinda like a credit card, where the more you use it and perform, the better your credit is.

What About Other Homeschool Options?
Government-funded programs for home educators are enticing. They provide free materials and educational experiences to homeschooling families. But what price do parents pay to participate in these programs? You might want to check out the DVD in MÂCHÉ's store, Exposing a Trojan Horse, which uncovers the hidden costs of parents participating in government-funded programs for home educators.
Definition of Home Education
MÂCHÉ believes that true home education takes place when children are primarily taught and educated under the authority of their own parents in their own home. We believe parents, not government, should determine the curriculum and standards for their own children. Home education fulfills its highest calling when parents educate their own children according to Christ-centered, biblical principles.
virtual charter schools
Virtual Charter Schools have increased in popularity in recent years. This taxpayer-funded system attempts to achieve a sort of "compromise" between a public school education and a real homeschooling experience. The idea is that, using a Government-sanctioned curriculum, the student can have a homeschool-like experience, while the parents enjoy such benefits as academic excellence and cost savings. But is this reality? Do Virtual Charter Schools deliver what they promise?
The answers to these questions are a resounding "No!" These and other Virtual Charter School myths are addressed powerfully by the Idaho Coalition of Home Educators (ICHE). In short, ICHE says, "The practical effect of enrollment in a virtual charter school program is to bring the public school district into the home of the student." We enthusiastically recommend the Idaho Coalition's entire analysis, provided HERE.
Minnesota's experience with publicly-funded virtual academies mirrors the poor results found in other states like Idaho. John Tuma, MÂCHÉ board member and Legislative Liaison, noted the following concerning virtual public school at home:
"Recently the highly respected Office of the Legislative Auditor, in a programmatic review of Minnesota's publicly funded online schools, found performance of online schools woefully lacking. In comparison to students who attend traditional public schools, the full-time online students' academic test scores were significantly lower, they showed less progress, and in some cases their dropout rate was eight times higher.
"MÂCHÉ and other homeschool leaders have been warning about the dangers of these government-funded programs for years, and now the studies are bearing out the concerns we have raised. You can find the Office of the Legislative Auditor's report is available online at http://www.auditor.leg.state.mn.us/ped/pedrep/k12oll.pdf."
John Tuma and his wife Wendy live in Northfield, Minnesota, with their two children. They met while John was in law school and Wendy was working as a legal secretary. John's career began as an attorney for a firm in the Northfield area. In 1991, he opened his own solo...

Hey Everybody!
In the vein of Do-It-Yourself projects and community improvement, I think that the workshop series we are starting at the Green Institute will be great in educating homeowners and businesses about simple and practical ways to save energy.
Coming up we have:
This workshop will help homeowners choose the right option for improving the performance of their windows. Window restoration specialist Paul Schmidt of Twin Cities-based Restoration Window Systems will cover temporary or permanent fixes to reduce heat loss and air infiltration on existing windows, reversing the effects of deterioration on historic wood windows and making an appropriate window replacement. Mark your calendars for Thursday, March 4 from 6:30 - 8 PM at 2801 21st Avenue South, Minneapolis. RSVP to Agatha Vaaler (email@example.com 612.278.7142 ). Cost is $15, which can be paid at the door or in advance. Refreshments will be provided.
Hope you check it out!
Hey all,
The possibilities of this forum are practically limitless - so let's start exploring them! While we haven't had a physical meet up (yet) this space can be a starting point for Twin Cities specific DIY ideas. Please, respond to this thread with
-what the ideal DIY TC would look like
-urgent (TC specific) issues you want to tackle with DIY tech
-next steps in addressing those issues
Also: how can we spread the news about this project? Like any forum, it depends on a quantity of quality contributors - spread the word!

The Smurfs Movie Review
If you grew up with The Smurfs, you'll be happy to find out that those little blue creatures are headed to the big screen with a brand new 3D motion picture that opens nationwide in theaters, Friday, July 29th.
The new film brings back all our favorite childhood Smurfs including Clumsy, Grouchy, Jokey, Smurfette and of course Papa! When Evil wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria) chases the Smurfs out of their village through a portal landing, they wind up in the middle of New York's Central Park. Surprisingly, New Yorkers don't seem too thrown by blue midgets running around their city.
While being chased by Gargamel, the Smurfs wind up falling into a box and soon turn the lives of two soon to be parents (played by Neil Patrick Harris and Jayma Mays), completely upside down. Like most first time parents, the couple find themselves doubting their parenting skiils... Will I be a good dad? How do I balance work and home? Am I ready? As they help the Smurfs find their way back to their world, the experience gives them a good taste of what it's like to be the parent of unruly kids. As the Smurfs run rampant through FAO Schwartz, while constantly singing their annoying theme song "La La La La La La..." that's sure to help prepare anyone for their first child.

Although we were fortunate enough to have bicycles available to use at our accommodation we rather foolishly didn't spot a) the bicycle pump or b) the two really nice beach cruisers at the second rental place until a couple of days after we had decided to rent bikes for our first foray out to Venice Beach. So my first suggestion (if you're renting an apartment or house in the area) would be to do a thorough search in the garage for bikes and a device to blow up the tyres before you resort to renting from Fun Bunns. The name might be amusing, but the state of some their bikes is not. We walked into Fun Bunns (1116 Manhattan Ave, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266 Tel: 310 372 8500) and picked up two beach cruisers fairly easily, although not after discounting one specimen with a well rusted chain. They rent by the hour, or by the day the cost is $20 per person. The Strand is a paved path that stretches from Redondo Beach in the south to Santa Monica pier and beyond. For the most part, there is one path that runs alongside the beachfront homes for pedestrians and a second, lower path dedicated to cyclists that winds through the flat sands. With the exception of a short stretch of road riding near Marina Del Rey (just before Venice Beach), the ride is completely off road, very safe and affords almost uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean waves and horizon. Starting at Manhattan Beach, it is about 12 miles (one way) to Santa Monica pier. However, it is a very flat and each journey. The only effort required of any rider is around Marina del Rey. The path splits from its ocean side route and heads inland and around the marina. The paths are well sign posted so reaching Venice Beach on the other side was very easy. In fact the trip was almost too easy. I was convinced that at some point I was going to plough headfirst into the sand or miss a key turning. I was enjoying myself so much, basking in the still warm rays of the December sun and exerting such minimal effort that I had to remind myself more than once to keep my eyes on the path that unfurled in front of me without end. The other joy about this bike ride is that the path is peppered with toilets and water fountains, so it doesn't even matter if you forget a water bottle or get caught short. About the only think you do have to be mindful of is where the trail crosses a road or pedestrian path.We took our time and arrived in Venice Beach after a couple of hours. It's worth dismounting and walking through the colourful strip of shops, cafes and curiousities. It is quite crowded here so you have to be a bit more mindful of fellow cyclists and other wheeled folk. We stopped in Venice Beach for an iced yogurt (coconut is a good option) and to check out the crowded bars and variety of dogs being walked. This is a good area to stop and eat if you need to. We had already filled up on a Noah bagel in Manhattan Beach and the heat kept our hunger at bay. We continued up the path a little further until we reach Santa Monica pier. We dismounted again and wheeled the bikes to the end of the wooden pier, passing a few fairground rides, shops, cafes, bizarre street entertainers (one was a guy wearing a gorilla head and doing some weak dance moves to some old techno tunes). I'm not sure if I would recommend stopping here to eat, unless you're particularly into fairground style food. If you have the time, Santa Monica has an attractive, pedestrianised shopping area. We didn't venture into it on this trip but did on a later day but without the bikes. Instead we turned back and pedaled back to Marina del Rey. The stretch between Marina del Rey and Manhattan Beach is quite quiet and passes under the flight path of jets taking off from Los Angeles International Airport. Asides from the plane noise, this part of the trail was the quietest we experienced. There are fewer riders and it is a much more relaxing path to ride. The row of big (and mostly bad taste) homes stretch out at the top of the beach as the waves of the Pacific crash away on the deserted sand plateau below. On another day we ventured south to Redondo Beach. Just over three miles from Manhattan, the ride to Hermosa and Redondo Beaches is perhaps less relaxing than that to Venice Beach. The path is a lot busier and much of it is shared with pedestrians. However it is a much shorter and easier trail and perhaps a good one to start out on if you only have an hour or two to spare (to Venice Beach and back you will want to allow at least 4-5 hours). The ride to Hermosa Beach takes very little time. If you're looking for a livelier and younger crowd, Hermosa is the place to come. The bars were packed along the main strip and while most people were seated inside the bars, their voices carried in noise clouds up and down Pier Avenue. After lunch at La Playita, we continued on to Redondo Beach. We probably could have rejoined the beach point somewhere but instead we stopped at the marina before heading back. Here we were rewarded with a sighting of dolphins arcing in between the waves. We watched them for a while before heading back to Manhattan Beach to watch the sun set with a cold beer.

We're going to start with something easy. Something minimal. In fact, let's aim for the most minimal we can get.
Beware of the Turing tar-pit in which everything is possible but nothing of interest is easy. - Alan Perlis (Epigrams on Programming, 1982)
Beware of? No, embrace!
A Turing Tarpit is a type of esoteric programming language. It is Turing-complete but has a very small number of primitives (generally between 2 to 8 operations). This means we could use it to write any computable program but it definitely wouldn't be practical.
A common implementation uses cells as memory, like a traditional Turing machine. Cells can make up a tape or grid and instructions are given to move the cursor and set values.
A common functional implementation uses rewriting of graphs, trees or some other data structure. Operations are just rewrite rules.
This theme is very open-ended. Go on and write a Turing Tarpit!
0"!dlroW ,olleH">:#,_@
`r```````````.H.e.l.l.o. .w.o.r.l.di
Does this language introduce you to any new concepts? Does this seem like a unique language?
Does the implementation of this language work as intended? Does it lack many bugs?
Does the language fit the theme? Does it satisfy the constraints in the description?
