Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by LuckyCharm, May 25, 2012.
Anyone watching?
Like this so far. Interesting concept.
Me too. Really good so far and I like all the pros too. How long is this going to run? I think each pro has two singers if they eliminate one a week (none this week) then 8 weeks? Right up till the olympics.
And not much in the way of bad auditions.
I'm always amazed how much Robin Thicke looks like his dad.
I only tuned in in time to see John Legend perform "Ordinary People" with a hulking football player with a great voice. Can anyone fill me in on what I missed?
ETA: Robin Thicke searching for a partner/teammate. I love the sound of Robin's voice and his songs. Unfortunately, his lyrics tend to be kind of stupid. He chooses a young lady named Olivia Chisolm. They're performing "Lost Without You."
A really good guy who sang with Jennifer Nettles. He's currently in the lead.
Robin and Olivia need a room. That is excellent chemistry on stage.
rfisher, I think the show will run for 9 weeks. If I'm understanding correctly, there will be no eliminations. Everyone gets to stay to the end.
OMG! I didn't know this was on!
Is it one or two hours?
Excellet! I guess they score points each week to determine the winner? So far, I want to hear everybody sing more. I'm just imagining how this format would have been with the Voice mentors. Adam, Xtina, Blake and Ceelo singing each week.
Kelly's boy was the weakest of the 4. He sings well, but is holding back. Maybe he'll get better.
Also, their accents are different but otherwise their voices are almost identical.
The episode is 2 hours.
Kelly Clarkson and her partner, Jason Farol sing a song that I probably should recognize but don't. They land in 4th place.
John Legend chooses Bridget Carrington as his second teammate. They sing "Tonight."
My only criticism of the show is that the arrangements so far have all been a bit dull. I get that it's supposed to be all about the singing, but it's comes off kind of like really good karaoke.
Robin already setting the scene for a fantasy bromance with John. He definitely watched The Voice.
Some of these duets are This makes AI songs look like kiddies.
Jennifer picks John Glosson (from her very own hometown.) They sing "Stay." It's really good. Lands them in 3rd place.
Jennifer's boys are smoking the competition.
jennifer's john was my favorite so far
Robin and Alexis Foster perform "Magic." Finally something uptempo.
Robin/Olivia were better together.
Can someone explain how the placements are determined?
The three pros not singing rank the duet. I think.
Kelly and Jordan Meredith perform "Stronger."
Kelly's girl was great. They sounded really good together.
1. J Rome (Jennifer)
2. Johnny Gray (John)
3. Alexis Foster (Robin)
4. John Glosson (Jennifer)
5. Olivia Chisolm (Robin)
6. Bridget Carrington (John)
7. Jordan Meredith (Kelly)
8. Jason Farol (Kelly)
I am watching now after recording it. Go Kelly, go!!!!
I started recording with Kelly and the Jason guy. That was boring, and Kelly's outfit was Kelly is NOT a big girl by any means. She's not a stick, but she's at most a size ten, but her clothes make her look bigger and mishapen. She's a pretty girl; why does she dress like a doudy dominatrix?
Bridget and John Legend were So were her shoes. It's nice to see adults singing adult songs.
Kelly's girl is the weakest singer of the bunch or maybe she was just super nervous. I think Jason is an amazing singer but again, he is super super nervous. Kelly is not going to win with either of those two, I don't know why she didn't find a confident singer as one of her picks. This show was great, though. Such high quality. Even the worst were so far better than a lot of the other shows. Of course, dueting with superstars probably helps.
I am curious how Jennifer will do when they don't sing their own songs. She had a big advantage this week since her catalogue is full of duets as it is.
But "Stay" definitely wasn't a duet when Sugarland did it. I think it speaks to how great she and her partner were that they made it work as a duet.
I saw Jennifer on the CMT Reba and Lionel Richie tributes singing their songs .. she was fabulous. I'm not a huge Sugarland fan, but I think Jennifer could sign just about anything.
By the way, did Robin Thicke rub anyone else the wrong way? (no smart comments!!) He comes across a little cocky for my liking and I wonder if it was just him being silly and joking or if he has a big ego.
Have a listen to Sugarland's "Live on the Inside". They do covers of Pearl Jam, the B52s, and a couple of other acts (in addition to their own songs), and it all rocks.
I loved her singing Springsteen in his KenCen tribute. But I don't like Sugarland songs. I forgot to tape this. Boo
Week 2 is underway...
The theme is "Classic Duets."
John and Bridget up first, doing "I Knew You Were Waiting" by Aretha Franklin and George Michael.
Brian are you hyperventilating after that duet between Kelly and Robin?
Bridget looks hot in her 80s retro outfit. I think this is a good song for her. She has a nice stage presence, and she and John have pretty good chemistry. Her voice reminds me of Toni Braxton.
Jennifer's vest is awesome. Very positive feedback from the judges (or whatever they are.) Robin flirting, not surprisingly.
Kelly and Jordan to do "Misery" by Pink (f. Steven Tyler?)
Pretty good feedback. A few small criticisms of her vocal. John also advises her not to use her duet partner as a crutch.
She is ranked behind Bridget.
Jennifer and John doing "Ain't No Mountain High Enough." Sweet.
Jennifer really does have the top 2 singers so far. Both of them are really good.
You and I agree, and apparently we're the only ones watching. I hope this thread isn't reflective of the overall ratings of the show. I really think they should have put this on Monday. They could have snagged much of the DWTS/The Voice audience.
Jennifer is hilarious. So is Robin, actually. They both basically have no shame. Kelly and John are like the straight men in this group, but they're adorable.
Yeah. They should have. The talent is really good and the concept is cool.
Robin and Olivia doing "Where Is the Love" by Donny Hathaway and Robert Flack. She's never heard the song before. Robin waxes poetic
about Paula.
Olivia's vocal pleasant but a bit weak. Quite a few pitch issues, especially on the chorus. I love this song.
Pretty nice comments form the judges, but they seem to think the song choice was wrong. They rank her last anyway.
For some reason, Johnny Gray quit the show and John had to find a new partner at the last minute.

Hunter Defense Technologies leases 172,759 square feet in Buena Vista
- September 20, 2011
- |
The Shenandoah Valley has a new major industrial tenant and employer. Hunter Defense Technologies Inc. (HDT Global) has signed an eight-year lease to occupy all of a 172,759-square-foot warehouse at the Shenandoah Valley Industrial Facility in Buena Vista.
The transaction, which represents a consolidation of HDT's existing Virginia locations and a relocation of one of its California operations, is expected to bring 130 jobs. "The Shenandoah Valley Industrial Facility was one of the few sizeable, quality blocks of available space along the I-81 corridor. We are pleased to accommodate HDT Global's growing Virginia operations," Daniel M. DiLella Jr, vice president of BPG Properties Ltd. said in statement.
Philadelphia-based BPG owns and manages more than 900,000 square feet of triple-net, leased industrial space along Virginia's I-81 corridor. As a result of the deal with HDT, a provider of mobility military and emergency response solutions based in Solon, Ohio, BPG's industrial portfolio is 100 percent leased.
The 24-acre, Shenandoah Valley Industrial Facility, located at 3200 Green Forest Drive, also is within five miles from Interstate 64. The property's location gives HDT a strategic location from which it can serve its customer base throughout the country. The company makes generators, heaters, air filtration devices, parachutes, aerial delivery systems and robotics used by U.S. and allied military units worldwide, as well as civilian government and commercial customers.

Gov. Tom Corbett's chance to accept a bid from a British firm to manage the Pennyslvania lottery was about to run out. Had it not extended its offer, the firm's $3.5-billion bid would have expired Saturday at 5 p.m.
According to 6ABC, a "top budget aide to Gov. Tom Corbett" has announced the extension. The extra time is designed to allow Corbett's office more time to consider options.
The changes come on the heels of last week's announcement by Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane who rejected Corbett' initial plan.
"It is our duty to defend and protect the Constitution of our Commonwealth and that is what our office has done by declining this contract," Kane said on Friday.
"She said the contract infringes on the Legislature's power to make policy decisions regarding the Lottery, provides for keno games which aren't authorized under the lottery act and usurps authority of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board," said the website, StandardSpeaker.com.
The deal is now back on the table, according to ABC, who said the British firm known as "Camelot," will now wait through Feb. 22 for a response.
"Executive Deputy Budget Secretary Peter Tartline says the bid from Camelot Global Services that was scheduled to expire Saturday has been extended through Friday [Feb. 22]," said 6ABC's website.
The Pittsburgh Post Gazette said the extension allows time for Corbett to determine a "Plan B."
"The extension would preserve the validity of their bid and allow some time for the commonwealth and for Camelot to assess the situation and determine what next steps would be appropriate," Department of Revenue spokeswoman Elizabeth Brassell said to the Gazette last week.
NBC10 reports that the state will have until Friday, Feb. 22 to consider those options.
The time will be used for "the administration [to mull] over how it will respond to the state attorney general rejecting the deal," said NBC.
According to the Gazette, one option would be an appeal.
"A determination by the attorney general can be appealed to the Commonwealth Court," said its article.

–a leading manufacturer for thin film optical components used for digital projectors' color management systems–is marketing a zero-shift UV blocking filter, the UV Guard™, which will increase lifetime and color stability of microdisplay-based projectors.
The recently developed UV Guard™ filter helps to increase the lifetime of UV sensitive components in a light engine by a steep, zero temperature/humidity shift cut-on slope. The zero-shift property is crucial, because the emission spectra of lamps have peaks in the UV/blue region. Therefore, a small shift of the spectral curve could increase the UV load by such a large amount that the lifetime of UV-sensitive components would be limited. These spectral changes also influence the color balance of the projector system.
To eliminate these effects Unaxis Optics utilized their patented sputtering technology (US pat. 5,292,417) and developed the UV Guard. UV Guard is available with different rear side coating combinations: like UV/AR with an antireflection coating, and UV/IR with an infrared blocker on rear side. These combinations can be tailored to precise specifications for custom applications.
As projectors move from business usage to consumer markets, their brightness-levels are expected to increase in response to the requirements for TV applications. At the same time, the small front- and rear-projection TVs suitable for home environments require a reduction in light engine size, which increases the radiation and temperature demands on the components. Further miniaturization is expected to put an even higher radiation load on the optical components, especially to the UV sensitive light valves. These factors make it necessary to have components with longer lifetimes and stability. UV Guard is Unaxis Optics answer to these demands on microdisplay-based projectors.

To book tickets for this game please telephone Saracens directly on 01923 475222
Two weeks ago, against the Newcastle Falcons, many rugby fans could be forgiven for leaving Adams Park early. Not for the huge crowds but rather for the dullness on the excitement scale. Sunday's game at Vicarage Road was the complete opposite. Nine tries in all and three coming from lock, Simon Shaw, saw London Wasps complete the 'double' over neighbours Saracens, winning 31-42.
While the Falcons game never got going, this game was on fast forward mode from the first whistle. Wasps expected a fight from Sarries but nothing like what happened within the first ten minutes. Two tries, one from Richard Hill, the other from Tim Horan and conversions from Nicky Little, allowed Sarries the streak ahead 14-0. It was like a boxing match with Saracens looking for the knockout in the first round.
Wasps needed composure and that came from the boot of Alex King. His penalty in the 12th minute slowed things down and no sooner had the score gone up on the scoreboard, Wasps hit again, courtesy of Simon Shaw. The big England international popped up on the wing, unmarked, and crossed for his, and Wasps' first try of the afternoon. King converted, and then added another penalty moments later that restored the deficit to only one point, as Wasps trailed 14-13.
Most teams could have panicked going two goals down very early on, but the 'REAL' Men in Black know where they are going, what the goals are, and how to get there.
That 'how to get there' was lead by Shaw who once again found himself on the receiving end of the final pass and scored his, and Wasps' second try of the day. Even with King missing the conversion, the try enabled Warren Gatland's side to take the lead for the first time in the game, a lead that they would never relinquish.
However, Little scored his first penalty of the afternoon in the 37th minute and brought Sarries up to 17-18.
If anyone was hungry to get on the field today, it was Andy Kershaw. The ginger haired prop was on loan to Sarries for the first few months of the league and was eager to get stuck in his former teammates. Kershaw was looking to impress with the absence of Will Green and he did. His persistence in going forward was rewarded with a try just before half-time. It was Wasps' third of the afternoon and as King added the extra two points, Lawrence Dallaglio, lead his side off 17-25 ahead.
Asked what his thoughts were on the first half, Warren Gatland said, "I was happy with the way we started. I thought we played some positive rugby and their tries were scored from turnovers where they capitalised on our mistakes. A lot of teams would probably have their heads down at this stage and given it away, but we hung in there and clawed our way back into the game, and went ahead to find ourselves in front at halftime. I said to the boys that if we keep our composure and not give too much away we would win the game reasonably comfortably.
Saracens coach, Wayne Shelford, must have asked his players to rise to the occasion and show their true international colours during the second half, as his prayers were answered when Thomas Castaignede stepped up to the plate and scored a remarkable try. For the rugby neutral it was a mixture of French flair and individual brilliance. The little Frenchman colleted a pass from Nicky Little, found a gap, chipped the ball over the head of fullback Mark Van Gisbergen, collected and scored his sides third try. Little converted and the Watford based side closed the gap to 24-25.
However, for every Sarries point, Wasps had an answer. King was on-song with his kicking boots and landed his third penalty in the 50th minute to stretch the lead to 24-28.
Moments later flanker, Paul Volley, joined his fellow forwards by getting on the score sheet with the now regulation lineout into a rolling maul try. His five points brought up the much needed bonus point. King added two points to extend the lead to 24-35.
Nine points up going into the last quarter it was still game on and when Saracen wing Richard Haughton scored his sides bonus point fourth try plus the Little conversion to close within four points of Wasps, it was anyone's game. With ten minutes left, Wasps were leading 31-35 and needed the knockout punch to kill off Sarries. That punch came courtesy from Shaw. A penalty to Wasps saw King kick the ball to within five metres of the Sarries tryline. Trevor Leota, who was now on for Phil Greening, threw the ball into the lineout, Shaw colleted, swivelled around and scored his knockout, hat-trick try. King converted and The Men in Black walked away 31-42 winners and with the five league points.
Gatland added, "This game had the sort of conditions that we revel in as we have backs that can step. After 20 minutes I put a message onto the field that their forwards were 'blowing' &ndash meaning that they weren't fit enough and therefore we just wanted to keep the pace of the game up. We are in good physical condition, we have some really good physical athletes and have players that love playing in these conditions.
"The destiny of where we finish is really in our own hands and we are aware of that. Saracens never gave up but at the end of the day we were just too strong for them upfront.
One will have to go back into the record books to see when last a Wasps side scored five tries, all by the forwards and three by a lock. Positives from the game were that the side never panicked, got the win with a bonus point, and came away with no major injuries. The only blemish would be conceding four tries, as Wasps defence has been top class since the beginning of the year.
The squad will be broken into three groups over the next few days. The internationals will go to their respective unions, a third of the players will be travelling to Poland for 'freezer' treatment in the 'chamber' while the rest will stay behind and work on more fitness at the club. The squad will then regroup in two weeks before taking on Bath on the 6th April, a side that Wasps have unfinished business with!

Top 5 lies about health care
By Angie Drobnic Holan
Published on Friday, March 19th, 2010 at 3:21 p.m.
We've been fact-checking claims about health care for more than a year now, and have noted several distortions that won't seem to die. Here are five that surface again and again.
1. It bans private insurance in favor of a government-run plan. Opponents have repeatedly said the plan would force Americans off their current plans, even though most current plans would be allowed to continue. Republican House Republican leader John Boehner said that "forcing Americans off of their current health coverage and onto a government-run plan (is) exactly what the Democrats' plan would do." We rated that False.
2. Preventive care saves the whole health care system money. People who favor the plan regularly imply that preventive care will lower its overall cost. While early treatment can save individual patients money, research shows that the benefits don't outweigh the costs of the additional screening procedures. President Barack Obama said preventive care "saves money." We rated that False.
3. Millions of people will lose coverage. Opponents of the plan have argued that millions of people would lose their health insurance. But the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has projected that the proposal would result in insurance for 94 percent of the country. Republican commentator Nancy Pfotenhauer said that "hundreds of millions of people (will) lose their current insurance coverage." We rated that Pants on Fire.
4. The plan will lower health insurance premiums for most people. A few people will see significant reductions in what they pay for health insurance if they qualify for low-income tax credits to buy their policies. But the vast majority of Americans will see no decrease or a very slight decrease in premiums, according to projections. Obama said, "The costs for families (in the individual market) for the same type of coverage that they're currently receiving would go down 14 percent to 20 percent." We rated that Half True. Obama's statement is true only for those in the individual market who are buying comprehensive plans right now. For people buying high-deductible, low-cost plans, the premiums will increase, because they'll have to buy plans that offer more coverage.
5. Bureaucrats will dictate treatment for patients, or tell you what insurance plan you have to buy. The proposal does include new boards to make recommendations on evidence-based treatment. But they won't consider any individual cases or deny procedures for specific patients. The bill also sets minimum standards for insurance companies, creating a baseline for basic coverage. People will still be able to pick the plan they prefer. We received a chain e-mail that said, "The 'Health Choices Commissioner' will decide health benefits for you. You will have no choice. None." We rated that Pants on Fire.

Since Romney can't win in California and Obama can't lose, there is no excuse for honest Democrats and Republicans to throw their votes away on corporate-owned candidates whose shared contempt for constitutional liberties and international law can not be disguised by watery progressive or conservative rhetoric.

I agree with Brian. If you resonate with the platform Green Party's Jill Stein, then vote for your hopes rather than your fears. She will be in two more third party debates with Libertarian Gary Johnson on Sunday and Monday nights.

Dangerous drugs taken in pharmacy burglary
Scottsbluff Police say most of the drugs taken in the burglary of the Scottsbluff Pharmacy Saturday morning were opiates, including methadone. Captain Brian Wasson says the drugs are dangerous, and can lead to accidental overdoses, significant injury and death.
Wasson says the burglar did not ransack the pharmacy but knew where to go get the drugs he wanted. Police have recommended the business increase its security measures inside the pharmacy following the burglary.
Wasson says they have collected evidence they hope will help identify the burglar but are asking for help from the public in solving the crime. The police department has released two photographs of a suspect in a grey hooded sweatshirt with a dark colored ski mask and gloves. He also had a red bag with a black shoulder strap that he used to remove the drugs.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Scottsbluff Police Department at 632-7176 or Scotts Bluff County Crimestoppers at (308) 632-STOP (7867).

If a forest fire happens in the Black Hills, a tanker plane is ready to go. The Single Engine Air Tanker arrived in hot springs on July 1st, which is later than normal. Last year the crew was out with the tanker plane fighting fires by June 23rd.
Firefighters inspect the plane, making sure it's ready to be put into action at a moment's notice.
"We just come in and do the inspection on the aircraft and on the equipment and get everything ready so if we do get a call we're ready to go," said Winston Cadotte, South Dakota Aviation Operations Officer
A crew made up of a pilot, manager, and loaders help get the plane up and running when a call comes in. After the first fire call goes out, they can be up in the air within six minutes.
"it is a team effort. Not one person. It's the whole team," said pilot Jim Fournier.
They mostly cover South Dakota, but sometimes fight fires in Wyoming and Nebraska. The tanker plane will be on the base and ready to go for 30 days.

Video Transcript:
I talked to a number of people or the families of people who just got convicted at trial in the federal court. They have just been convicted of a federal crime and they want to know what they should do immediately. There are three things someone should do.
First, start preparing for sentencing, the next thing that's going to happen is you will have to go in front of a judge, it will be the same judge who did your trial and you will have to explain to that judge why you should get the lowest sentence possible. Sometimes after a trial when the result of the trial is a conviction, the person doesn't want to go with the lawyer who handled the trial they want to find a new lawyer. If that's you start that process now, find the new lawyer now.
Second, start preparing for the appeal, sometimes trial counsel will do the appeal, sometimes they don't want to or something you don't want them to. Start reaching out now to make a decision about who the lawyer should be in the appeal, the best thing you can do is the third thing which is to order the transcripts from the trial now. When the trial is going on, as a court reporter is recording everything but it takes some time for that court reporter to turn those notes into a transcript of everything that was said and everything that happened, your appeal can't go forward until that transcript is prepared. So if you take this time and have the court reporter prepare those transcripts now it will speed up how quickly your appeal gets considered by the court of appeals.
After that start getting ready for the appeal so that when it comes you are prepared and you can have that process work as quickly and as smoothly as possible so that you have got the best chance you can of getting the conviction reversed. See less -

Emergents (enchanted by the 'Big Tradition'), some Old Life Reformed (emphasising the institutional church and sacraments), some Federal Vision folks like Peter Leithart (with a similarly high ecclesiology), the rising influence, in the States at least, of evangelical Lutheranism (which tends to stress liturgy), our ecumenical romance with Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, the popular influence of Anglicans like Tom Wright, the childish drive for the novel and sensual that marks a culture bloated on narcissism, and the shallow gospel of many Western believers have converged to create the perfect liturgical storm. It is a storm threatening to swamp gospel fulness and freedom in Christ. Evangelicalism, in many quarters, is all too ready to exchange the real for rituals and regulations, the freeing for the enslaving, Christ for the childish and cultic legalistic ceremonies. Ritualistic faith is on the increase, an inevitable result of faith that fails to 'hold fast to the head' (the risen reigning Christ in heaven) and instead seeks religious experience and assurance in that which is sensuous and ceremonial, that which is merely 'earthly' (Cols 2:16-20); when the substance is lost the shadows rush in to fill the void.
My previous post (but one) protested strongly against the present evangelical love-fest with all things liturgical (liturgical calendars and its seasons such as lent). However, you may well read the post and say, 'That's all very well. I see the force of your argument. However, does not Christianity have its special day (the first day of the week), and its rituals (baptism, the Lord's supper), and does it not promote fasting? Is there contradiction here?'
It is this latter question I wish to address.
a believing hermeneutic
Whenever we find what we perceive to be a tension in Scripture the way forward lies in believing faith that seeks to do justice to both statements without playing off one against the other or adopting one to the exclusion of the other.
With this hermeneutic, we may well conclude that in principle New Covenant faith radically abandons ritualistic religion reducing many religious days to one, many different rites and ceremonies to two simple acts, and regular ritually obligated fasts to the occasional and voluntary. We may not understand why any special day or ritual is left but this is a question faith need not have answered to live obediently. We do not have to fully understand a matter to be taught and guided by what is revealed.
This seems to me terribly important. Christians ought to have a humble submission to God's Word that believes and obeys without requiring all questions answered. We must avoid the critical superiority that robs Scripture of its authority and impact by a thousand clever avoidance questions and arguments. I am not advocating a faith that does not inquire, study and seek to learn. Far from it. Godly scholarship is a gift from God. However, scholarship is not always godly, not always believing, and certainly not always submissive. Scholars, like the rest of us, too often read the Bible without that childlike trust and submission. When this is the case no amount of scholarly nous will compensate, indeed it is likely to blind; spiritual truth is spiritually discerned.
Church tradition can also be a force for good or ill. Church tradition like scholarship can be good if the tradition encourages making Scripture humbly studied the authority for faith and practice, but where the tradition makes the authority the tradition itself (whether confessional or non-confessional) spiritual blindness is inevitable. Both scholarship and tradition are powerful forces to buck, yet a believing hermeneutic must be willing to challenge both. Neither are final authorities. Only Scripture is truth.
There is only one guard against deception and that is a heart and mind subject to the Word and depending on the Spirit. This is ever the way of understanding and blessing.
sabbaths and sunday, law days and love days
We can, however, go a little further in addressing the apparent tension expressed above by noting some basic differences between OT regulations and NT practices.
We should remember that the nature of religion that allows man to save himself (as the Mosaic Law did) is to focus on what is external and ritualistic. Such religion is typically full of rules and regulation, things to do. The Mosaic Covenant (this do and live) was certainly like this. The Sabbath was the key sign of the Mosaic Covenant (Ex 31:13) and exemplifies this principle. So important was the Sabbath that it was enshrined as part of the Ten Words in the tablets of stone. Remembering the Sabbath day and keeping it holy was a vital component of covenantal obedience. It was a regulation carefully drafted with various activities proscribed. Failure to observe it was punishable by death (Ex 31) and honouring it was the way of life (Isa 58:13,14). We should not miss the fact that Sabbath observance was a legal obligation with much hanging on it.
However, when we come to the NT and the day Christians observe, the atmosphere is quite different. Firstly, of course, Christians do not observe the Sabbath. It simply will not do when Sabbatarians, in an attempt to claim Sunday as the Christian Sabbath, argue for one day in seven. The Sabbath is not any one out of seven, it is specifically and intentionally the seventh day. It is the day when God rested having created for six. There is simply no suggestion in the NT that the Christian day is a Sabbath, in fact the opposite is the case (Col 2:16). The very choosing of another day clearly signalled a decisive change in covenantal relationship since the Sabbath was the covenantal sign of the OC (Ex 31).
But what of the Christian day of worship – the first day of the week? Is this enshrined in a statute or written on a tablet of stone? Is there a command that Sunday must be remembered and treated as holy? Is it defined as a day of rest? Is there a sanction of death on those who fail to observe it? Clearly not. Why do Christian's worship on a Sunday? We worship on a Sunday because that is the day of Christ's resurrection. Indeed, after his death the resurrected Christ appeared only to his disciples on Sundays (the first day of the week). It would appear that the Holy Spirit so impressed upon the young church the association between the resurrection of Jesus and the first day of the week that it quickly became the day of Christian gathering and worship. Soon it was simply known as 'the Lord's day' (Rev 1:10). Love for the Lord had set it apart.
My point is, it was no mere legal regulation or ordinance that gave the first day of the week its significance but love for the one who was identified as Lord in resurrection on this day. In this way the Spirit impressed on the heart of the infant church the appropriateness of Sunday for Christian worship. The Sabbath signalled the end of the old creation: the first day of the week the beginning of the new creation. The Sabbath was for man, the first day of the week is for the Lord. Sunday is not for Christians a day of rest but a day of worship. Let me repeat, Christians worship on a Sunday not from duty, not from fear of judgement, and not to gain merit. They gather out of love for their Lord.
Can I observe in passing, this is why the Lord's Day observance society is so wrong-headed. The Lord's Day was never intended to be foisted on society. It was intended for Christians and not the world. It was a day when believers were drawn together to worship out of love for their Lord, not for unbelievers to observe by legal enforcing. The whole premise is wrong. We so easily lapse from grace into legalism.
These two days, it seems, illustrate the different principles that guide the different covenants, the difference between the legal precepts of the old and the gracious privileges of the new, in particular, those of baptism and the Lord's Supper.
baptism and the lord's Supper
We speak of these as 'ordinances'. The word means 'an authoritative command or order'. Yet I wonder whether this word is best suited. For, yet again, juridical language is entirely absent. Both baptism and the Lord's Supper may be better termed privileges than ordinances. In both cases we receive from the Lord. In both cases, the emphasis is far less on what we ought to do than what grace has accomplished. Both indicate blessings bestowed.
In our baptism we are carried through waters of judgement and death (safely in Christ our ark) and emerge to the privilege of a new world and life the other side of the deluge. Sin is gone in the judgement of the waters and we stand before God in resurrection with no more conscience of sins (2 Pet 3:21). Baptism is rich with the symbolism of grace; it brings us through judgement into a new creation. (In terms of command, the preponderance of verses focus on the command to baptise rather than the command to be baptised.)
In the Lord's Supper, again we receive. We sit at the table of the Lord and eat what he provides. He is the spiritual host. And he is the spiritual food (specifically in his death). The focus is what is graciously given. Again there is no legal or juridical context. The context when the disciples are first introduced to the Supper could not be more intimate and familial. Christ's love for his own and his desire to fellowship with them is the atmosphere in which it is inaugurated (Luke 22:15). His love is on full display. He washes their feet, feeds them, teaches them, comforts and prepares them for the coming hours and days; having loved his own which were in the world he loves them to the end.
The Lord's Supper is a love feast. It is no formal ritual with eating a legal duty. It is not rigidly confined by rules and regulations. Nor is it elaborate or ceremonial. The meal is the essence of simplicity. It is simply bread and wine and we are free in when we eat it and where we eat it (Cf Acts 2). What matters is the state of heart in which we eat (1 Cor 11). We should eat realising that it is a meal symbolising the oneness of God's people in the body of Christ (1 Cor 10:16). We eat out of love for the Lord and a desire to fellowship with him and his people. Any thought of mere obligation to a rite or ordinance fails to grasp what it is about; ritualism and relationship are mutually exclusive.
Much more of course could be said regarding these gospel privileges, however, my concern is simply to underline that both, like the Lord's day, arise in a context of grace and relationship not law and ritual and both reflect the context in which they arise. Be suspicious of every attempt to squeeze ritualistic drama from these privileges for the less we appreciate their inner spiritual realities the more we will make of their externalities.
We should also note in this context that neither has any intrinsic 'magical' saving quality. They have no sacramental value of themselves. Being baptised and taking the Lord's Supper does not confer grace or guarantee spiritual security. 1 Cor 10 makes this very clear; it is possible to be both baptised and regularly take the Lord's Supper yet be destroyed by God.
Paul is quite clear that denying ourselves bodily needs and provisions is no virtue in itself. The Mosaic Covenant (Judaism) made numerous ascetic ritualistic demands on the people. Not so the NT. In fact, it explicitly condemns ascetic impositions (Col 2:20-23) describing such teachings as the teaching of 'deceiving spirits' and 'doctrines of demons' (1 Tim 4:1-5). Real self-denial, we discover, is not a denial of the body but a denial of the flesh (our Adamic human nature opposed to God). Yet, fasting is something the NT assumes God's people may do from time to time (Matt 9:15) normally depriving ourselves of some legitimate bodily need (usually food).
What are we to make of this apparent contradiction? The first thing to be said is that in the New Covenant fasting is always voluntary (whether by an individual or a group). There is no imposed season for fasting. There is no rule that tells us we must fast. Indeed there is no injunction to fast. Yet Jesus assumes his people will fast and Paul tells us he often fasted. We are not told when to fast, where to fast, how to fast, or how long to fast (though it should not be of such a time that Satan can take advantage Cf 1 Cor 7: 5). Again the difference between law and gospel becomes apparent.
If someone fasts it will be because the Holy Spirit prompts him or her to do so. Such prompting appears to be definite and in lieu of a specific task or purpose. Thus Jesus fasts before facing the temptation of Satan and the beginning his public ministry (Matt 4:2). Some of the church at Antioch fasted as they were considering the future strategy of expansion. When Paul and Barnabas were considering who to appoint as elders in various churches they fasted (Acts 13:2, 14:23). It seems too that fasting was generally accompanied by prayer (Lk 2:37, 5:33). The point is this was a time of intense seeking the mind of God and humbling oneself before the Lord. It is to our shame that most of us know little of this today. Prayer and fasting seem to be linked with spiritual power. Perhaps we see here a reason for our spiritual weakness.
For our purposes, the main point to note is that fasting is not an institutionalised ritual that is part of an imposed church calendar but is an activity that arises out of a burden placed on the heart by the Holy Spirit. How easily our legalistic hearts institutionalise and ossify activities that should flow from freedom in the Spirit. The value of a fast does not lie in the hunger for food it creates but the hunger for God that created it.
The heart of Christianity is a living relationship with Christ by faith. We live in union with him, rooted and grounded in him, and nourished by him (Cols 2). Everything that ritualises, institutionalises and mechanises this should be treated with suspicion. How ready we are to make a ritual or a law out of what is intended to arise from the heart freely as it seeks God's face. How easily we turn from life in the Spirit to the deadening letter, from privilege to performance, from relationship to ritual, from the unveiled to the veiled, from the spiritual to the sensual, from grace to works.
Let's make it our aim to discover the true grace of God and having discovered it, to stand fast in it.

The case against three 17-year-old Decatur High School students will go to a grand jury.
Jameson Staten, Steve King, Jr. and Lorin Wilson are accused of fatally shooting Houston Glenn Blackwood. Authorities found his body at his home on Chestnut Street in Decatur.
The teens were charged with capital murder and will be tried as adults. A preliminary hearing was held for the three suspects Monday in Decatur.
Decatur Police said they believe Wilson pulled the trigger and all three went to Blackwood's apartment to rob him of money and drugs.
Attorneys for Staten and King filed a motion to have charges for their clients dropped to at least felony murder, which means they would be eligible for a bond.
Judge Brent Craig will decide on a motion filed by defense attorneys to get transcripts of the police statement given to a witness. Police said a woman was in the car the when the three suspects drove to Blackwood's apartment. They said she sat outside in the car when the shooting happened.
The judge's ruling on the motions could come after the grand jury considers the case late next month.

Commuters along Interstate 65 through Autauga County have probably noticed that directional signs are starting to appear in doubles, causing many to scratch their heads in wonder.
Are their tax dollars being wasted on an unnecessary change? ALDOT says "no".
In most cases the sign that is going up looks exactly like the sign it's set to replace, but that's not the case, according to the Alabama Department of Transportation.
Officials say the state's 6th Division is undergoing what is called an interstate sign rehabilitation project that is clearing many of the older exit signs.
ALDOT spokeswoman Rebecca Leigh White says the signs are being replaced with newer signs that have better reflectivity qualities, aiding drivers' ability to read them, especially late at night
It is possible for older signs to lose their reflective properties, and since the signs must meet federal highway guidelines, the project aims to upgrade them.
Sings from mile markers between 105 and 198 are receiving the upgrades, which are being paid for through federal money as part of the state's interstate maintenance program.
The total cost of the upgrade is contracted at $2,192,735.
Once the new signs are in place, the old signs will be removed.

Updated Feb. 24, 2010 @ 4:36 p.m. ET
This is the sixth in a series of scouting reports on 15 key players who are slated to become free agents — restricted or unrestricted — March 5, unless they are re-signed or franchised before then.
News: After having given up a 2011 first-round pick to acquire Richard Seymour from the Patriots in September, the Raiders were not going to let him get away this offseason. Oakland did as expected and used the franchise tag on him Feb. 24. Under the tag, Seymour will be paid $12.398 million in 2010. He has said he's willing to return to Oakland, although he was clearly unhappy about being shipped out of New England initially. The two sides will continue to work on negotiating a long-term deal.
Notes: Seymour is coming off a decent first season with the Raiders. He was less productive than he had been during the previous season in New England, when he made eight sacks — matching a career high — but his supporting cast is not as strong in Oakland. Seymour started all 16 games in 2009 — the first time he's done that since '02 — and made 47 tackles and four sacks while transitioning from playing defensive end in the Patriots' 3-4 system to end in the Raiders' 4-3 base defense. Seymour was a part of three Super Bowl-winning teams while with the Patriots and has made it to five Pro Bowls.
Strengths: The nine-year veteran is versatile enough to play end or tackle in a 4-3, although the Raiders play him mostly at end. At 6-6, 310 pounds, Seymour uses his size and strength to overpower and shed blockers. He's not as fast as he was earlier in his career, but he still has a quick enough first step to cause problems. He has the ability to dominate in one-on-one matchups and knows how to gain an advantage by using his hands. Seymour is very sound vs. the run.
Weaknesses: While he's still a solid player, wear and tear has taken its toll on Seymour, and his best days may be behind him. He hasn't played to his potential in the latter portions of the past two seasons. He suffered a knee injury that limited him to nine games in '07, although he hasn't missed significant time in either of the past two seasons and appeared to be in decent health heading into this offseason.
Risk factor: It would be a high risk to give Seymour an expensive, long-term deal at this point in his career, but it doesn't appear that he and the Raiders are going to come to an agreement on a contract of that nature. With the one-year franchise tender having been applied to Seymour, the risk is low for the Raiders, especially in what is likely to be an uncapped year.

Can you execute a function on trigger from a php file / ajax ?
I have a website which has a mysql db which records how many visitors i have.
I want a message box to pop up everytime a visitor logs on.
Whenever someone logs on, a php file constantly is run (via javascript) checks to see if the visitor counter has increased.
if it does it plays a "ping" sound. this works fine, but I think as the php file is seperate from my index.php
the message never appears.
is there a way to check in javascript that when a responsetext (ajax) changes from the current value being polled that it executes a function? (ie, the notify box)
many thanks.... twisting my melon.... kev

You can store the responseText in a global variable. When the next ajax request is sent to check if any more visitors have logged in, compare its responsetext value with the global variable value and if the visitor count has increased display an appropriate message. This can all be done in your onreadystatechange handler.

Ever heard of a loquat? This cousin of the apple tastes more like an apricot or a plum, and lends itself well to being canned. This loquat preserve features Chinese Five-Spice, which gives it an earthy spiciness.
Found yourself with too many eggs? Try making some pickled eggs. The addition of beets adds a pop of color, and these flavorful eggs make a great garnish to any dish.
Tired of running out of canned chick peas to make hummus? Afraid the store bought cans have weird chemicals or added salt? Can your own instead!
Bananas with brown sugar and a hint of rum; this sauce is perfect spooned over vanilla ice cream, or to give as gifts (if there's any left).
This conserve adds dried apricots, orange, and pecans to tart red cranberries to make a preserve equally at home with turkey or pork, stirred into yogurt, or spread on toast. It makes a great holiday gift, too.
This apple butter gets its spice from cinnamon and cardamom, and its depth of flavor from brandy. It's not your typical, run-of-the-mill apple butter.
Making cheese at home is easier than you might think. Just a couple household ingredients (and a few not-so-household ingredients) and you've got mozzarella!
Hatch Chiles, a native of New Mexico, are a mild bright green pepper. Mixed with cilantro, tomatillos, and a few serranos for heat, they make a great salsa verde perfect for canning.

There are 429 properties are on the list for Wednesday's Montgomery County sheriff's sale. Of those, some cases have already been closed, and many half have been postponed for next month, but that still leaves hundreds of properties to be put on the block Nov. 28.
Sales start at 1 p.m. in courtroom A at the Montgomery County Courthouse, Swede and Airy streets in Norristown.
There is a minimum total bid amount that must be exceeded for each property to sell. And the winning bidder must have 10 percent of the sale price at the auction, with the remaining portion due within 10 days of the sale.
The properties are not available for inspection prior to the sale. More information is available on Montgomery County's Web site.

By Nbc17 Staff
Gov. Bev Perdue said Thursday that North Carolina intends to establish a state-federal partnership exchange to support implementation of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, often referred to as "Obamacare."
In a news release, the governor's office said Thursday was the deadline for states to submit grant applications for two of the three options available: full state control or a state-federal partnership. A deadline to set up a state-based exchange by 2014 had already passed, the governor's office said.
The governor signaled her support of the grant application to begin North Carolina's health care exchange planning process.
Perdue said Thursday that taking this route gives the state input and a degree of control over health care decisions.
Perdue notified Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin, legislative leaders and Governor-elect Pat McCrory about her decision to choose the state-federal partnership model for expanded health care.
"North Carolinais moving forward with implementing a process that provides much-needed health insurance for every citizen," said Perdue. "It is critical for our state to participate in decisions that affect our state's citizens. We will not cede total control to the federal government. It remains my goal to pursue a state-based plan."
Thursday is the deadline for states to submit grant applications for two of the three options available: full state control or a state-federal partnership. A deadline to set up a state-based exchange by 2014 had already passed.
However, the move brought a sharp rebuke from Senate Pro Tempore Phil Berger.
"Let's set the record straight – it is not necessary or appropriate for Gov. Perdue to prematurely declare her intent to establish a state-federal partnership exchange," he said. "The initial deadline for the state to make this declaration is February 15, 2013 – three months from today. The voters elected a new legislature and governor last week and policy decisions of this magnitude should be left to them."

As in past years, Total Structures will launch a couple of new products at this year's LDI 2007 exhibition in Orlando, Florida. This year will also mark the launch of a new career at the Ventura, California-based truss and structure manufacturer.
Theresa Kelley has recently joined the company as a sales executive for the US central and mountain regions and will be making her first "public appearance" at the Total Structures LDI booth # 413.
Prior to joining Total Structures Kelley was the western regional sales manager for fellow truss manufacturer Tomcat USA and sales manager for Barbizon Light of Arizona. She will be based mainly in Telluride, Colorado, however she intends to spend a large amount of time on the road visiting both old and new customers alike.
"Obviously it was a tough decision to leave Tomcat. I do, however, feel strongly that Total Structures is going places in the industry and I am excited to have been accepted as a member of this team. To be a part of the tremendous growth this company is experiencing was too much of an opportunity to turn down."
Kelley now joins Douglas DeBusschere (western sales), Elmer Veith (eastern sales), Adrian Forbes-Black (vice president and export sales) and Alison Martell (sales administration) in Total Structures' sales team.
Along with Theresa Kelley, Total Structures will also be showing off two new products at this year's exhibition.
Totalite is a new lightweight, durable, European style conical connection truss manufactured in US standard increments. An extensive stock of the 12" box version in 10', 8', 6', 5', 4', 3' and 2' truss sections and a full range of corners, bases, and accessories are available for immediate dispatch from both their California and the new US east coast warehouse facility in Atlanta, Georgia.
Total Structures will also be showing details on their latest roof design, the Air roof. The Air roof comprises of a conventional ground support system with an inflatable canopy.
