Book Review: Unceasing Worship, by Harold Best
Book Review: True Worship, by Vaughn Roberts
Ask Granny Susie, who's led the church choir longer than you've been alive, and you might hear, "Well, it's Sunday mornin' praise, baby!"
Ask Steven, the church band's guitarist, and you might hear, "It's the surge of God's presence that I lead people into."
The question of course is, What is true worship? Many in our churches define worship however they please.
But does God's Word grant such freedom? Does it define worship, and if so, how? These are the questions Vaughan Roberts, rector of St Ebbe's Church in Oxford, answers in his short book True Worship. He wrote it out of concern "that much of our thinking about worship is confused and often unbiblical" (Loc. 46).[1]

Book Review: An Anxious Age, by Joseph Bottum
There's not much analytical precision or hard data in Bottum's portrait of the post-Protestants. Instead, much like a work of fiction, the trustworthiness of this book rests on the author's close personal observations, and on what you might call the self-attesting resonance of his descriptions—whether the character development is believable, whether you recognize from experience who he's talking about.

Book Review: Popcultured, by Steve Turner
Book Review: Saving Eutychus, by Gary Millar and Phil Campbell
Millar emphasizes two key elements in his definition of expository preaching: the text and the heart. True expository preaching is bringing the text of God's Word to bear upon the hearts of people. Millar writes, "Expository preaching happens when the message of the text = the message of the sermon. Or perhaps better, expository preaching happens when the vibe of the passage = the vibe of the sermon" (31). Every text possesses a message and an ethos. The preacher's task is to craft and communicate his sermon so that the main point and ethos of the text is main point and ethos of the sermon.
Expository preaching is not simply the relaying of knowledge or a download of information. The goal is that we both understand and feel the message of the text. So, authentic expository preaching includes the mind and the heart, the intellect and the affections. As you read the authors' definition of preaching, you might want to stand up and preach. I did.

Book Review: Reading for Preaching, by Cornelius Plantinga, Jr.
That's why I'm a little skeptical of my own bias toward a book like Cornelius Plantinga's Reading for Preaching: The Preacher in Conversation with Storytellers, Biographers, Poets, and Journalists. "Of course!" says the writer. "Preachers should read more! And more widely!" But should they really?
Yes, says Plantinga, president emeritus of Calvin Theological Seminary. Why? To sum up the book with a phrase borrowed from it, a preacher should be the kind of person on whom nothing is lost, and reading widely helps (72).
"Helps" reflects the book's refreshing modesty. Plantinga wants preachers to read widely—that is, outside the fields of Bible and theology—for a number of reasons: to find illustrations, yes, but also to tune their ears to the power of well-chosen words, and to meet wisdom in street clothes (chs. 2-6). Yet his recommended yoke is light: one novel, one biography, and a fifth of a book of poetry each year, with a weekly visit to the Arts & Letters Daily website thrown in (42).
In Chapter 3, "Tuning the Preacher's Ear," Plantinga covers "clarity and her best children" and four aspects of diction: rhetorical pitch, narrative movement, economy, and evocativeness. In his analysis of one model sermon's rhetorical pitch, Plantinga commends a register that "is neither tuxedo formal nor tank top casual. We might call it 'upscale colloquial' or 'business casual,' and add that it will engage a great many listeners." This pitch "makes the sermon formal enough to be serious and casual enough to be comfortable to wear" (49).
This is sound advice elegantly stated—which I could say of just about the whole book. But my point in drawing attention to rhetorical pitch is that this is an issue more preachers could afford to critically consider. The same goes for the other stylistic tools Plantinga probes. Words are the preacher's raw material, and most preachers could use help learning how to mine their potential.

Book Review: The Pastor's Family, by Brian and Cara Croft
Brian and Cara Croft co-wrote The Pastor's Family: Shepherding Your Family through the Challenges of Pastoral Ministry. Brian has been the senior pastor of Auburndale Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky since 2003. He is also the founder of Practical Shepherding, a website dedicated to being "a Gospel-driven resource center for pastors and church leaders to equip them in the practical matters of pastoral ministry," and the author of numerous books in the "Ministering the Master's Way" series. Brian and Cara have four children. Cara serves alongside Brian by teaching and discipling the women of Auburndale.
The book is divided into three parts that encourage pastors and church leaders to faithfully serve the church while faithfully serving their families. Brian and Cara's twenty years of ministry qualify them to address balancing the "demands of the ministry with the demands of being a father and husband" and wife and mother (13).
In part one, Brian analyzes problems and offers practical solutions for the pressures of pastoral ministry that might lead to family neglect. Church and home are a constant swirl of expectations and scheduling demands. Some of these expectations and demands expose fears (and weaknesses) that tempt a pastor to neglect to shepherd at home.

Rediscovering Jesus' Hymnbook
How interested would you be if archaeologists unearthed a hymnbook embossed with the name, "Jesus of Nazareth?" Overlooking the anachronism for a moment, wouldn't "Jesus' hymnbook" be immediately republished and rocket to the best-seller lists? Wouldn't those songs find instantaneous popularity in worship services across the globe?
We have that hymnbook. We do know what songs Jesus sang: he sang the psalms.
So a question arises: if you'd be excited about singing the hymns from our fictional archaeological find, then why aren't you more excited about singing the psalms? Two events in my life significantly nudged me into answering that question.
The first event was a dumbfounded stare in the seminary bookstore when I was a first year M.Div. student. I stood looking at the required reading for New Testament Greek and saw the Trinity Psalter as a required purchase. Why was I being asked to purchase an Old Testament book in English for a New Testament Greek course? It turns out my professor had a habit of beginning each class by requiring his students to sing a psalm together. So I become a psalm singer by requisite.
The second event happened in the Peruvian mountains. I led a group of students on a short-term mission trip. Our task was to dig a ditch around a church under construction. Our Peruvian host was a minister in the Peruvian Presbyterian Church and they mainly sang psalms.
We had a long conversation about why this was their practice, but one reason stood out to me. He was fighting heresy in the churches he pastored. False teaching slipped into his churches through folk songs adjusted for worship. Psalm singing was his attempt to guard his people from heresy sung to a familiar tune. Psalms served that growing community of churches as a biblical bulwark against encroaching syncretism. Reflecting on that conversation, I realized that I had become a psalm singer through missions.
You don't have to be a seminary student or a missionary to Peru to step into the world of psalm singing. You only need to do two things. First, consider the benefits that God attaches to worship in psalm. Second, decide practically how you will begin singing the psalms.
Here then are six benefits of congregational psalm singing.
1. When you sing psalms you literally sing the Bible.
Good hymns are theologically deep, artistically sound, and biblical in content, but they are not the actual words of Scripture. However, when we sing the psalms we are actually singing the Bible. The poetic structure, themes, and content of the psalms are the inspired Word of God for his church in every age.
2. When you sing the psalms you interact with a wealth of theology.
Martin Luther said of the Psalter, "It might well be entitled a Little Bible, wherein everything contained in the entire Bible is beautifully and briefly comprehended." The 150 psalms cover the waterfront of theology. Psalm singing is theological study.
3. When you sing the psalms you are memorizing Scripture.
An important part of Christian maturity is the ability to recall passages of Scripture at need. Educational circles have long recognized how music aids memorization. This is no accident; it reflects the providential hand of our Creator God. He wants you to memorize his Word and has provided a mnemonic for easy memory—the Psalter as Scripture that was, and should be, set to music.
4. When you sing the psalms you guard against heresy.
Andrew Fletcher said, "Let me write a country's songs, and I care not who writes its laws." He was onto something. Songs drive information deep into our hearts. However, this power can be used for ill means. As long as the church has existed, songs have been used to inculcate heresy. Psalms are counter-heresy measures.
5. When you sing the psalms you sing with the full range of human emotion.
Godly anger, heart-wrenching sorrow, dark depression, effulgent joy, honest questioning, and exuberant praise are just a sampling of the emotional range covered by the psalms. Most churches sense the burden of teaching their people how to think. Very few consider their responsibility to teach their people how to feel. The psalms serve as the tutors of our affections.
6. When you sing the psalms you praise the person and work of Jesus Christ.
One of the most misinformed statements a Christian can make against psalm singing is, "I don't sing psalms because they aren't about Jesus." When the earliest Christians wanted to sing about Jesus' atoning death and glorious resurrection they turned to the psalms. A little stroll through the cross-references in the New Testament should be enough to convince even the staunchest critic that to sing the psalms is to sing of the person and work of Christ.
If these benefits have piqued your interest, then these four steps should help you begin singing the psalms.
1. Find a Psalter you can sing.
Notice I didn't simply say, "Find a Psalter." The best Psalter is the one you actually sing. Different Psalters are suited to different musical abilities. Some set each psalm to a particular tune while others simply provide the suggested meter, allowing you to choose the tune.
Here are a few options:
- The Trinity Psalter (Crown and Covenant) provides a single suggested tune for each psalm and breaks long psalms up into suggested portions.
- The Book of Psalms for Singing or The Book of Psalms for Worship (Crown and Covenant) also suggests tunes for each psalm but provides multiple settings and smaller portions for each psalm taken from different historic Psalters.
- The psalter I use most is The Psalms of David in Metre (Trinitarian Bible Society) developed from the 1650 Scottish Psalter. It provides each psalm in the common meter. While lacking in musical sophistication, this version is immediately singable if you know a handful of common meter tunes like "Crimond" or "Amazing Grace."
2. Know your Bible.
Devote special study to the background of the psalms. Devote some public teaching and preaching to the psalms. Purchase a Bible with cross-references and note where psalms are quoted in the New Testament.
Let me also add the suggestion that you read a good book on redemptive history, like Vaughn Roberts' God's Big Picture or T.D. Alexander's From Eden to the New Jerusalem. A good foundation in the Bible's overarching plan of redemption and how it culminates in Jesus Christ is essential to singing the psalms well.
3. To sing the psalms well you must understand how the psalms direct us to the person and work of Jesus Christ.
Many psalms are directly fulfilled in the life and ministry of Jesus. The authors of the New Testament regularly draw on the psalms to describe what was accomplished on the cross. The beauty of the psalms is magnified as they are placed in the setting of God's redemptive work in Jesus Christ.
4. The fourth thing you and your congregation will need is the willingness to try something new.
Psalm singing can be difficult for someone who has never been exposed to it. Psalm singing can be downright alien for someone who has only known modern praise songs. But the potential benefits are immense. It is not easy work but it is good work. It is not quick work but it provides long-term, lasting joys. And the question really is, "Why wouldn't you want to sing the psalms?"

Five Qualities of a Congregational Song
Christians are a singing people.
Muslims don't gather to sing. Neither do Hindus, Buddhists, or Rastafarians. Christians do. Also, while not everyone preaches, or leads in prayer, or publicly reads Scripture, we all sing.[1]
But what can we say about the nature of a corporate Christian song? What should it be like? Can we sing any kind of song when gathered together?
Whether our corporate worship is subject to the regulative principle or simply the principle of conscience, the exercise of singing ought to be seriously considered in light of Scripture. And Psalm 96 offers some crucial perspectives regarding the nature of a right song and its effects. Originally written for the covenant people of God for the entry of the ark of the covenant into Jerusalem (see 1 Chr. 16), this Psalm offers us much regarding the practice of singing today.
A Congregational Song Should Focus on God
God is at the center of a Christian song. When God calls his people to sing, it is a qualified type of song. In Psalm 96:1, God says, "Sing to the Lord."
When the church is gathered together in the name of God, the glory of God is the aim of our melody making. We are to sing to him, about him, and for him. We don't sing merely as the world sings of created things, our song is elevated to the Uncreated One. The songs of the church proclaim the character, attributes, and ways of the God of our salvation.
For those who choose songs for corporate worship, this is a task to be carried out with sobriety. Mark Dever and Paul Alexander give this advice to pastors: "As the main teaching pastor, it is your responsibility to shepherd the congregation into the green pastures of God-centered, gospel-centered songs, and away from the arid plains of theological vacuity, meditations on human experience, and emotional frenzy."[2] If our songs are never set above vacuity, human experience, and emotions, we have fallen short of our goal. God must be the center of our worship; therefore God must be the center of our songs.
A Congregational Song Should Be Biblical
The songs of the church ought to be built on, shaped by, and saturated with the word of God. Singing is a unique way to let the word of Christ dwell richly in us (Col. 3:16).
In Psalm 96:2, we see that we are to bless his name. Apart from God's revelation, we would not know his name, or how to bless his name. Our singing and the whole of our worship must be biblically informed in order to carry out these commands. The songs of the church should be intentionally biblical.
We might think of singing as a form of exposition that uses poetry to teach the word of God. When Isaac Watts published Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs, this was his intention. His goal was not to sing Scripture line by line, but to create poetic and emotive renditions of Scripture that allow a church to sing the truths of Scripture.
Songs are sermons. They don't work like homiletical exegesis, but they articulate, exegete, and pronounce biblical truths. Our hymns teach and shape the way people view God, man, Christ, and how we are to live in light of the gospel.
One way to ensure our singing is biblical is to comb through our songs to see if we cover the breadth of themes presented throughout the canon. Our songs should be held up to the light of God's word to ensure we are singing the glories of its truth.
A Congregational Song Should Point to the Gospel
The contours of the gospel should shape our hymnal. We should "tell of his salvation" (v. 2), so that the gospel rings forth as the theme of our songs. If we are convinced of the primacy of gospel-centered ministry, we should surely practice gospel-centered singing. The songs of our churches must be fluent in the gospel.
One approach toward gospel-centered singing is to build on the framework of God, man, Christ, response.
- We sing to God as the holy creator of all things, who is worthy of worship.
- We sing of man and our sinful nature, our alienation from God, and our need of forgiveness.
- We sing of Christ who is fully God and fully man, who lived a sinless life and died on the cross to bear the wrath of God.
- We sing a response. In these songs of consecration and repentance, faith and praise, we joyfully respond to the good news of Jesus.
A Congregational Song Should Be Congregational
The preface to this Psalm says it is to be sung by both Asaph and his sons (1 Chr. 16:7). Christian singing is congregational at its core.
The song of redemption is not meant for one, but for many. In the torrent of individualism and self-help, the people of God don't sing as a collection of individuals, but as one people united to Christ. Christian singing is not meant to highlight the talented few, but to include the voice of the many. Congregational participation protects the gathering from pageantry and pomp, and provides an environment for an exultant, grace-infused response to the revelation of God.
This choir of the redeemed lift a collective voice of praise as a testimony that we have been reconciled to God and to one another. Singing together in worship is a mark of unity within a church. The song of the redeemed is to be sung by young and old, rich and poor, strong and weak. Verse 7 reminds us that families of peoples will ascribe praise to God: peoples from every tribe, tongue, and nation on the earth.
A Congregational Song Should be Evangelistic
While worship is theocentric, it is also declarative. Our singing is aimed at God, but it also rings in the ear of our neighbor. God-centered worship is proclamation. As we sing of the glory of God we understand that all have not seen his glory. As we sing of the goodness of the gospel, we realize that it is not good news to all.
Spurgeon called this Psalm the "Missionary Psalm," and for good reason. In verses 10 to 13, we see that God-centered singing intrinsically works as a declaration to the lost. God-centeredness and evangelism are not two competing targets but one inside of the other. The worship of God is the aim of evangelism.
In the same breath, we sing of the love and wrath of God. In the same melodies, we declare his holiness and the grave effect of sin. Christ is the king who will come to judge the world in his righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness. We say among the nations "The Lord reigns!" in the hope that men and women will repent of sin and trust in Christ.
The church has been given a song to sing, and Christ is its author, its substance, and its aim.
A church's songs are not a mere preamble to the sermon. Singing is not filler time to warm up a congregation. Singing is a holy practice. We sing because God has commanded us, and our songs should fill our hearts with delight.

Doing Biblical Theology Well: An Interview with Michael Lawrence
It appears to be biblical theology month here at 9Marks, with 9Marks at Southern starting February 28 and Logos giveaway of an eBook version of Biblical Theology in the Life of the Church. In that spirit, we asked Michael Lawrence, senior pastor of Hinson Baptist Church in Portland, Oregon, a few questions about biblical theology.
9M: Why is it important for Christians to understand biblical theology?
ML: Whether they realize it or not, Christians are doing biblical theology all the time. They are relating the Old Testament to the New Testament, Israel to Jesus and the church, the law to the gospel. That's the work of biblical theology.
So if you're going to be doing something anyway, if it's inescapable every time you pick up your Bible, then I think you should know what you're doing. If you don't know what you're doing, then it's not that you won't do biblical theology. It's simply that you'll do it badly.
The Scriptures are the power of God for salvation. Therefore, we don't want to misinterpret or misapply them. Biblical theology is essential if we are to faithfully do both.
9M: Jim Hamilton defines biblical theology as learning to read the Bible like the apostles did. What do you think of that definition?
ML: I like Jim's definition a lot, because I think biblical theology is essentially a reading strategy. For over two centuries now, the academic community has taught us to read the Bible in increasingly atomized parts, like pearls on a string. Certainly paying attention to the distinct voice of John or Jeremiah has had many benefits. It has taught us to pay attention to context, and has kept us from flattening the Bible out into a simplistic univocal message.
But there's no doubt that this strategy, particularly in the hands of skeptical unbelief, has also done a lot of damage. Not least it has obscured the single voice of God, speaking through the multiplicity of human voices and yet telling a single story of judgment and redemption. In other words, in rediscovering the individual trees of the Bible in their unique beauty we've lost the biblical forest in its majestic grandeur.
When we talk about biblical theology as the reading strategy of the apostles, we're talking about a perspective on the canon that the apostles learned from Jesus himself (Luke 24:27). But it's not just their reading strategy for the Old Testament; it was their writing strategy for the New Testament as well. Again and again, they wrote to show that what happened in and through Jesus was the fulfillment of what had already been written (e.g., Matt. 1:22, 2:15; John 12:38; Acts 1:16). But it wasn't just Jesus that the OT pointed forward to. They also wrote about the identity and nature of the church in the same way (e.g., Acts 2:16, 1 Cor. 10:11ff., Heb. 12:18-24).
So biblical theology is not just an apostolic reading strategy for the Old Testament, it's an apostolic reading strategy for the whole Bible. And we read it that way, not only because the apostles told us to read it that way, but because it's the way the Holy Spirit inspired it from first to last.
9M: What are you planning to talk about at the upcoming 9Marks at Southern conference on biblical theology?
ML: What I'm hoping to speak on is the way in which biblical theology is necessary for the formation of Christian identity. There are several favorite and well-known phrases from the New Testament that we use to describe ourselves: we're aliens and strangers, sons and daughters, the bride of Christ. I want to show that we can't understand any of those crucial identity markers without biblical theology, and that with biblical theology they become profoundly rich in ways beyond what we typically attach to them.
That's my goal anyway. In the process, I hope to show just how useful biblical theology is to our work of counseling and discipling, which is the ministry context in which we typically lean most heavily on those identity images.

Jeezy - Lose My Mind
Artist: Jeezy
Featuring: Plies
Producer: Drumma Boy
Album: Thug Motivation 103
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 107 total votes )
Like many nine-to-fivers, Young Jeezy looks forward to the weekend as a time to kick back and unwind. Of course, when you're a full-time thug, "unwinding" takes on a different meaning than for your average working man or woman. On Lose My Mind, the latest street single off his forthcoming senior major label release, Jeezy gives us a lesson on how a true G decompresses from the daily grind: by soaking those stressed-out neurons in a rejuvenating broth of weed smoke and Rozay. After the headliner's opening bars, Plies steps up to the podium for a guest lecture. Over Drumma Boy's bass-booming synth-brass instrumental, the Opa Locka goon extols the therapeutic virtues of such relaxation techniques as getting blackout drunk (and then drinking more!), and, uh, f***king white girls. So, readers, is this edu-taining joint crazy-good, or just plain crazy? Those who pick the former can expect plenty more wise words on Jeezy's Thug Motivation 103 LP, which still has yet to receive a release date from the label brass.

Drank from my John Bull Tulip Pint
A - Pours a light copper co;our with an off white head that dies.
S - Earthy aromas that are quite hoppy.
T - Plenty of yeasty notes but not enough hops for me.
M - Medium body and carbonation.
D - Not a great experience and would not seek another

500ml bottle bought from a local Spar...
Poured a clear light copper orange colour. Slightly off white head poured fairly loose and frothy then faded quite quickly to light patchy covering. Some carbonation bubbles drift to the surface... light patchy lacing...
Aroma - Juicy tart fruits (pears, some apples), bitter orange marmalade, some marzipan notes, faint biscuit malts, grassy, floral honey sweetness, earthy, quite yeasty...
Taste - Light nuttiness mixed with good juicy fruits (bitter oranges, pears), decent peppery and grassy hop bitterness, biscuit malts, bready, honey sweetness, some graininess, faint herbal notes...
M&D - Sharp and dry initially then smooths out... medium bodied... an extremely quaffable brew..
Overall - A spot on example of an English pale ale... nothing mind blowing just a good drinkable ale...

Cloudy , sedimentary with an 18carat gold hue .There is a clinging lace dribbling down the glass like a geriatrics prostate to a finely bubbled head that surrounds and supports a centralfroth of larger bubbles.
There is a miserly fuggleness about the smell.
Could do with just a little more to it.
This tastes very much of malted barley , hops and yeast , yes , it tastes like beer should.
It is balanced and has a nice sharp edge to it.
It is not challenging or confronting , it is safe but secure in what it is doing .
It is a very sessionable beer , designed for long serious discussion of any matters that will become increasingly important and more easily solved as the pints go down

Purchased at the Sainsburys supermarket when on sale (89p a bottle!); BB 07/11/2008, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass.
A: bright dark-orangey amber, coming with a creamy off-white froth with good retention; the lively carbonation consists of both microscopic and huge bubbles.
S: as orangey-fruity as a Goldings-brewed pale ale can be, while a mildly stinky, earthy & floral edge of Fuggles and Brakspears yeasty touch sustain at the back; pale malts seem to play the third fiddle, supporting the mainly fruity hoppy theme.
T: the initial lightly-flavoured entry of fruitiness quickly gives way to the English pale ales typical lightly-stinky, dirty-cloth like, yeasty taste that pairs with subdued biscuity maltiness, leading on to a soothingly dryish touch (reminiscent of Brakspear Bitters superb dryness). The aftertaste is moderate in bitterness, while the pale malts faintly nutty undertone also lingers.
M&D: med-bodied, refreshingly pleasant on the texture, slightly effervescent but not overly carbonated; this ale has not shown a profile as complex as Brakspears Organic Ale, but could be more enticing if given a more smooth texture maybe the brewery might consider bottle-conditioning this ale as well? That said, Brakspears unique fermentation system seems to have done the same magic to this ale, rendering a very welcome dryness to increase the overall quaffability.

Trimming the Fat: Study Questions Link Between Fat and Heart Health
The days of fat-shaming saturated fats might be numbered. A review of research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine concluded that the evidence on hand does not support guidelines advocating diets low in saturated fat and high in polyunsaturated fat as a way to reduce the risk of heart disease.
Instead, what the researchers discovered is that there are not statistically significant associations between fat intake and heart disease. The exception to this was trans fat. When that came under the evaluative microscope, a link between consumption and risk of heart disease was observed. For the other types of fats — saturated and unsaturated — researchers "found essentially null associations between total saturated fatty acids and coronary risk."
Under current guidelines, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are recommended because they have been considered as better options, providing important omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids the body needs. These fats are mainly found in nuts, fish, olive and vegetable oils, and flaxseed.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) tell people to limit the amount of saturated fats in their diets. Saturated fats appear commonly in butter, high-fat cheeses, ice cream, and oils, and should be avoided because of their ties to heart disease. For trans fat, the CDC says to look for products that do not contain any trans fats.
These are the guidelines for Americans, but other standards exist elsewhere in the world. In introducing the topic, the researchers noted the lack of international cohesion on how much fat is too much fat. To clarify confusion concerning fat consumption, the researchers undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of previously conducted studies. The results are based on 72 studies with more than 600,000 total participants coming from 18 different countries.

TEAMS: Green Bay Packers
Jason Wilde of ESPN Milwaukee takes a look at the entire Green Bay Packer's franchise and where things stand as they head into the offseason. Greg Jennings According to Wilde, unrestricted free agent WR Greg Jennings is "as good as gone." All indications have suggested as much for a few months now, so barring a change in their approach, Jennings figures to hit the open market this March. Derek Sherrod Former first-round pick OT Derek Sherrod is expected to compete for a starting job next year, according to OL coach James Campen. "I expect him to be back and competing for a spot," said Campen. "He was just on the cusp of doing some very good things when he got hurt. We expect him to be back and ready to go." Given that Sherrod has already missed a good portion of his first two seasons in the NFL, there are plenty of questions marks surrounding his future with the team. He suffered a broken leg late into the 2011 season and there are some concerns regarding how the leg has healed. If ...

The Golden Assby Apuleius
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The Golden Ass by Apuleius is a unique, entertaining, and thoroughly readable Latin novel - the only work of fiction in Latin to have survived in entirety from antiquity. It tells the story of the hero Lucius, whose curiosity and fascination for sex and magic results in his transformation into an ass. After suffering a series of trials and humiliations, he is ultimately transformed back into human shape by the kindness of the Goddess Isis. Simultaneously a blend of romantic adventure, fable, and religious testament, the Golden Ass is one of the truly seminal books of European Literature, of intrinsic interest as a novel in its own right, and one of the earliest examples of the picaresque. It includes as its famous centrepiece the myth of Cupid and Psyche, the search of the human soul for union with the divine, and has been the inspiration for numerous creative works of literature and art since the Renaissance. This new translation is at once faithful to the meaning of the Latin, whilst reproducing all the exuberant gaiety of the original.
A frank and vivid modern version of one of the most diverting of all classics. Lindsay's translation captures the genuine flavor, sharp dialogue, outrageous humor, racy delight and subtle style of Apuleius' sophisticated masterpiece.

The case before the high court -- brought by the daughter of one of Jake LaMotta's friends and co-authors -- isn't about who owns the rights to the acclaimed story. Instead, it is a challenge to the way that lower courts dismissed Paula Petrella's case against MGM. A district court and the 9th Circuit argued that she waited too long to bring the case -- something called the doctrine of laches -- but Petrella's legal team argued that other circuits have rendered opposite judgments of whether such reasoning should apply.
"If this laches defense is upheld, it is a very formidable defense that the studios would have to hoist if someone came out of the word work, so to speak," said Jonathan B. Sokol, partner at Greenberg Glusker.
Petrella's father, Frank "Peter" Petrella, worked in the early 60s and 70s on a book and two screenplays depicting LaMotta's story, including projects called "The Raging Bull." The elder Petrella died in 1981, but Paula Petrella in 1991 renewed the copyright to his 1963 screenplay. Yet she did not a copyright infringement claim against MGM until 2009. There is a three-year statute of limitations on copyright infringement claims, but lower courts dismissed the case, supporting the laches defense. At the heart of such a defense is the notion that a plaintiff can't wait until a property starts making money -- in this case, homevideo -- to file a claim against an entity that has invested years of money and effort in exploiting it.
Petrella's legal team, led by Stephanos Bibas, argued that the Supreme Court should hear the case because other circuit courts have concluded that a defense of laches cannot bar a copyright claim brought within the statute of limitations.
MGM had no comment, as did Petrella and her attorney, Bibas.

Perhaps we should hire a study coordinator to decide what we should do.
on Jul 21, 2007 at 12:31 pm
All Starbucks have brochures - or did - with calorie counts. The company is revisingthe brochure and is changing to no-transfat products in lattes and cappuchnos. Just ask for the brochures.

FYI, a lot of chains post nutritional info on their websites and many have information available at the stores.

A search warrant has been issued against the home of an Ohio man, accused of hindering the search for missing Tennessee student Holly Bobo.
Authorities will search the home of Tony Calabrese, who organizes a group called The Tactical Search and Rescue Team.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation issued a warning about that group back in June of 2011, saying it was responsible for reporting false leads in the case.
Calabrese reportedly has information about the Bobo case on his computer that he will not share with authorities.
He has not been arrested.
Bobo has been missing since April 2011.
Holly Bobo's disappearance remains under investigation. Bobo is described as five foot, three inches tall, weighing 110 pounds with blue eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair.She was last seen wearing a pink shirt, blue jeans and black flip flops.An $85,000 reward is being offered for information leading to her location.Anyone with information is urged to contact the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND.

Breaking that down, 11 pitchers came from four-year universities, one from
community college and two from high school. That's consistent with the
organizational philosophy, which dictates that college players are better bets
to develop than high school kids. The same theory applies to position players --
of the six prospects selected by Toronto, all of them went to four-year
Aaron Hill, a shortstop from Louisiana State, heads that list. Hill, the
Southeastern Conference's Player of the Year, was the 13th overall pick in the
From there, the Jays aimed all of their efforts toward the men on the mound.
Seven of their next eight choices were pitchers, and all of them had one thing
in common: control of the strike zone.
Toronto's decision-makers wanted pitchers
who could strike batters out without walking many, and that shines through in
their selections.
Josh Banks, a right-hander from Florida International, personifies that trend.
The second-rounder started his season off with 30 consecutive scoreless innings,
and he finished with an 8-2 record and a 3.50 ERA. Those stats may look
ordinary, but his peripherals were off the charts. Banks struck out 114 batters,
which led the Sun Belt, and walked only 25.
The third-round pick, Shaun Marcum, sports many of the same abilities. A former
shortstop, Marcum pitched well as a closer at Southwest Missouri State. Through
41 innings of work, he posted a 1.98 ERA with 13 saves. He also struck out 52
batters with just 12 walks, an impressive dichotomy. The Jays went back to that
well five rounds later, picking Chad Mulholland from the same school.
Mulholland, a starter, went 10-3 with a 2.73 ERA. He generally works in the high
80s, but that didn't stop him from striking out 108 batters.
In the fourth and fifth rounds, the Jays grabbed another pair of starting
pitchers. The fourth pick was Kurt Isenberg, a two-way player who struggled
on the mound this season. The southpaw will pitch as a professional, though,
and Toronto seems certain that he will iron out the flaws in his game.
The other
pick was Justin James, a sturdy 6-foot-3 right-hander. James, an aggressive
pitcher, struck out 92 batters and walked only 26 in his final season at
Finally, in the sixth round, Toronto targeted a position player. Chris Snavely played the infield and outfield at Ohio
State. He hit .360 as a sophomore -- earning second-team All-Big 10 honors --
but obliterated those numbers this year.
Snavely hit just .335, but look at the
rest of his statistics: He posted a .483 on-base percentage and a .675 slugging
percentage. Snavely has all the tools -- now the Jays just need to harness them.
The next three selections were all pitchers, with Daniel Core and James
Vermilyea joining the fold. Core posted some impressive numbers at Florida
Atlantic: He went 10-2 with a 3.31 ERA and 98 strikeouts in 106 innings.
In the 10th round, the Jays snagged a player with two discernible skills: speed
and the ability to hit for a high average. Jayce Tingler doesn't hit for much
power, but he did rack up a .395 batting average at Missouri. The center fielder
also showed a knack for drawing walks and stealing bases, which gives him the
ideal leadoff hitter's skill set.
After that, Toronto went right back to drafting pitchers, four in a row, to be
precise. The blue birds got Thomas Mastny fron Furman and Jayson Rodriguez from
a community college before going an unorthodox route. Two hurlers came from
service acadamies -- Matt Foster from Navy and Jeremy Harper from Virginia
Military Institute.
Foster's best pitch is his changeup, which he used with
devastating effect with Navy. The Jays were just looking for a few good arms,
and they didn't especially care where they came from.
From there, Toronto tried to wrap up an interesting day. Vito Chiaravallot, a
first baseman from Richmond, was selected in the 15th round. Joseph Reiman, a
catcher, was the next pick, followed by Jordy Templett in the 17th round. Ryan
Roberts, a third baseman, came after that.
Roberts put up some big numbers at
the University of Texas at Arlington: He batted .422 with 16 home runs, posting
a .514 on-base percentage and a slugging mark over .700.
Finally, the Jays closed out the day with two high school pitchers. The latter,
Brad Depoy, may end up going to college.

Comments about Smith's Smiths Pocket Pal Knife Sharpener:
I am very pleased with this sharpener. I use a pocket knife everyday at work or home and this sharpener is always in my pocket so I never have a dull blade. When your at work or out hunting a big bulky sharpener siting on your counter at home will do you no good. I like this sharpener so much I got two.

Disclaimer: I guess even the most resilient and optimistic of fans can let a little pessimism set in from time to time. Maybe it's more of a level-setting of expectations, but I'm feeling a little of that after my daily rounds of Lion's articles on the internet. Take it as a "mood-of-the-day" thing and not an overall drowning of my hope.
I'm sure we all have our daily internet rituals geared towards dredging up all things Lions. Mine starts, of course, with POD. I'll give the site a quick once over and check out any new posts, articles or comments. After I leave a few new comments of my own, it's on to MLive.com, Freep.com and DetNews.com to finish with my dose of the local vibe. From there, it's on to the major publications like SI.com, NFL.com, CBSSportsline.com, FoxSports.com, ESPN.com, ProFootballWeekly.com and a few others. Today was no different. It's like a sacred ritual; performing the morning scour while I'm enhancing my cock-crow view with a strong cup of freshly ground dark roast (and I mean fresh... as in I grind my own beans. It's the only way to go!)
By now, you're probably saying "Yeah, so what? That's a good thing". Right... it is. But as I was reading these articles today, I was feeling something other than warm fuzzies and hope. I was feeling déjà vu. I've read all of these articles before... last year. And you know what? I read them the year before that and the year before that, too. So how do we trust that this year's set of journalistic chronicles are any different than those of the past few years. Truth be told, we can't. Thus, my morning discouragement begins.
The consistent theme with most of these articles is the "new approach, new coaches, new scheme, new results" premise. But is that really always the case? History says no... not for the Lions, anyway. We've all heard this same song and dance before. Whether it's the West Coast offense or the Tampa 2 defense, optimism abounds because we are forcefully given the yearly training camp handbook "1001 Reasons Why This New Approach Will Work" as our daily reading assignment. Mostly, we simply scan it and then buy into it - fully. Journalists and coaches feed us scoop after scoop of why this new approach will work and we are so starved for positive news, we can only say "Please sir, may I have some more?" They formulate it to make perfect sense to us. The end result is us saying, "Yeah, he's right. How can this fail?" Then 0-16 happens and we wonder what happened between the new no-fail approach and the utter destruction of our franchise. This gets most of us every year. Not that we don't fuel the fire feverishly ourselves. I'm just as guilty as most... maybe more. I buy into things. I guess I'm just another mouth that's ready to ingest a full plate of something positive.
Just like last year, I have that feeling that things are different. Just like last year, the training camp handbook has been given to us as our daily reading assignment. And just like last year, we are all starting to buy into it. Is that a negative thing? I don't necessarily think so. But there is a lesson to learn here. I think the lesson I'll take away from this morning's bout of déjà vu is that I simply need to be aware of the training camp optimism game and how it's come back to bite so deeply in the past. Hopefully, I'll be able to step back and form my own opinions on expectations for this year and not be completely swallowed up by either the media hype or simple giddiness of the start of a new NFL season. Excitement for a new season and high expectations for the Lions are sometimes mutually exclusive. It's okay to feel genuine excitement and still maintain realistic expectations of this year's team. You have to realize that all 32 fanbases are feeling the same exact thing right now. All 32 media outlets are handing out their versions of the training camp handbook and millions are so hungry for the optimism they are simply swallowing before they chew. The result is going to be a lot of stomach-aches.
Again, don't read to deep into my mini-revelation here. I'll no doubt continue to take in as much of the feed that comes my way and in the end, my hope will probably far exceed the appropriate expectations I should have for this team. My charge to you the fan is that we continue to test and scrutinize the information that comes our way. That's why I would much rather read the information in a fan-blog over the one-sided articles written by paid journalists. Fans have more heart and more sensibility than the average, hardened media lackey (not including you in that mob, Sean). To feed into the hope and hype are not bad things. It's part of the fun of this time of year. But we need to put forth an effort to make our own assessments and keep ourselves from becoming misguided in our interpretation of how good this team really can be this year. Some may disagree and say that being a true fan requires blind faith and a perpetual assumption that your team is capable of winning a championship every year. I know we've had discussions along those lines here before. I say that being a good fan is about holding to undying loyalty while allowing for honest expectations and assessment of your beloved club. I think you can expect a team to play poorly and still be a devoted fan. If you feel I'm off-base with that evaluation, let me know.
Anyway, thought I'd share this with you today. I guess tomorrow morning I'll have to rededicate myself to the handbook and eat two helpings of journalistic nourishment to get my optimism meter to read "FULL" again. Dig in!

What is in this article?:
- In Control For Bon Jovi's Because We Can: The Tour, Part 1
- The Media Server System
Dirk Sanders, technical designer for Control Freak Systems (CFS), worked on both the arena and the stadium versions of Bon Jovi's Because We Can Tour, putting together the complex video control systems. On the arena tour, CFS worked with the lighting, video, and automation teams to configure a groundbreaking control system that redefined integration for video control. As Bon Jovi now drives into the stadium leg of the tour, Sanders explains that, though the two designs are vastly different, the integration of the control systems—this time between the lighting and the video—are no less complex.
The performance itself is still the same tour, but it is now presented within an entirely different production design for the stadiums. Gone are the automated columns and kinetic movement of the arena design. Instead Performance Environment Design Group's Doug "Spike" Brant has created an enormous 1950s automobile that literally envelops the stage with the front grille being the primary performance area and a massive windshield above it all.
Live Design: Tell us a little about how you approach the same show with such a radically different configuration.
Dirk Sanders: It was very different; we didn't have all the automation complexities that we had on the arena show. This was more of a traditional system design that boiled down to flexibility. We do, however, continue to build on the integration between the lighting and the video. Throughout the show, we blur the lines continually between the lighting and the video control. One big difference between the arena and the stadium shows is the amount of content. During the arena show, there were parts where video played a very big part, and then there were parts where the columns went away, and it was really lighting-driven. In the stadium, it is 100% using video; every single song has a video element.
We wanted the video to be tight with lighting, really kick that up a notch. One song that is a great example of that is "Wanted Dead or Alive." Meteor Tower handled the content for that song, and they really bring the whole car design alive. They created an arc from sunrise to sunset. You see it in the windshield video screen. There are reflections and movement; it's really great. Then the lighting totally hooks into that and moves the sunlight across the hood of the car. There are some really wonderful moments throughout the show when the lighting is an extension of the video and when the video is an extension of the lighting.

Hi everyone, I'm not new to ivillage but I'm new to this board!
Hubby and I have been married for a year. TBH, I've had baby fever for longer than I've been willing to admit. However, I know with 100% certainty that we are not ready. Financially...we're good to go (we both have great jobs, we own a beautiful home, health insurance and savings are in place, etc.)
Emotionally....we need some work. Hubby in particular is so NOT ready. This is where I'm struggling. I respect and understand his side of things completely, but that doesn't mean its easy to accept! We are both 25 and, in his opinion, we are just too young. We still have a couple of vacations that we'd like to take and "splurges" that we'd like to make around the house. Hubby is great with babies and loves them to death but he just isn't yet ready for the late nights and the committment of raising a little one.
Part of my desire, I think, is very much driven by the fact that my BFF just had a baby...so for the last 6 months, I've been inundanted with cute baby blue things, and holding her beautiful baby boy who hasn't cried ONCE in front of me! Almost *too* good to be true. I've been telling people, I wish he would just start throwing fits so at least I get a reality check!
In all honesty, if I had a positive pregnancy test today, I would

There are a few ladies on the board who share the same frustration that their SOs don't have baby fever yet. It can definitely be a challenge to WTT, which is why this board helps so much! I hope you stick around so we can get to know you!

I'd also be ready in a few months if he say "ok, now" - but I am in limbo, and have been for a few years now. I don't know when he'll be ready. Maybe next year; I was hoping it would be last year or this year, but he still isn't ready, and sometimes I wonder whether he's getting any closer or not.
Welcome to the board!!

obvious QOTD wrt wikileaks
"In a time of universal deceit, to tell the truth is a revolutionary act."
— George Orwell
(aside: my first brush with this quote was on the Antibalas t-shirt i got in NYC in 2001.)
re: the current wikileaks situation : everyone i know seems to be amused by the situation and rooting for the hacker, possibly because the theoretical repercussions are so frightening you can only laugh, combined with heated debates about free speech and serious conversations about what this reveals about global government security, accountability and transparency.
my childhood friend who works for the State Dept. shared this:
Remarks to the Press on the Release of Confidential Documents –Hillary Rodham Clinton
"There have been examples in history in which official conduct has been made public in the name of exposing wrongdoings or misdeeds. This is not one of those cases. In contrast, what is being put on display in this cache of documents is the fact that American diplomats are doing the work we expect them to do. They are helping identify and prevent conflicts before they start. They are working hard every day to solve serious practical problems – to secure dangerous materials, to fight international crime, to assist human rights defenders, to restore our alliances, to ensure global economic stability. This is the role that America plays in the world. This is the role our diplomats play in serving America. And it should make every one of us proud.
The work of our diplomats doesn't just benefit Americans, but also billions of others around the globe. In addition to endangering particular individuals, disclosures like these tear at the fabric of the proper function of responsible government.
People of good faith understand the need for sensitive diplomatic communications, both to protect the national interest and the global common interest. Every country, including the United States, must be able to have candid conversations about the people and nations with whom they deal. And every country, including the United States, must be able to have honest, private dialogue with other countries about issues of common concern. I know that diplomats around the world share this view – but this is not unique to diplomacy. In almost every profession – whether it's law or journalism, finance or medicine or academia or running a small business – people rely on confidential communications to do their jobs. We count on the space of trust that confidentiality provides. When someone breaches that trust, we are all worse off for it. And so despite some of the rhetoric we've heard these past few days, confidential communications do not run counter to the public interest. They are fundamental to our ability to serve the public interest."
that Orwell quote has been a favorite moral rudder of mine for years, and i also agree (gasp) with Ron Paul's tweet today that "In a free society, we are supposed to know the truth. In a society where truth becomes treason, we are in big trouble." but while i wholeheartedly support the maximum amount of government accountability and transparency as is possible without compromising security, i have to say i agree with HRC and White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, who said that an "open and transparent government is something that the President believes is truly important. But the stealing of classified information and its dissemination is a crime".[5]
despite the fact that Wikileaks has done admirable, award-winning work for human rights in the past, if i had to vote one way or another right now today i'd say the "free speech" argument doesn't apply here, that Assange should be prosecuted, despite the fact that people say if the State Dept./Dept. of Defense had better security this wouldn't have happened, therefore it's their fault, not his (common hacker defense).
However, even though i believe he should be prosecuted, i still deeply respect him for what he has done.Filed in politics and news, QOTD | Tagged with orwell, wikileaks | Comment (1)

This article is an interesting read regarding Julian Assange and his intentions. http://bit.ly/eGFOhw
What Wikileaks is doing is not so much about about human rights or making it known that governments do shady things (we already know). He wants to change the rules of the system and effect regime change.

Tech N9ne - The Noose
Artist: Tech N9ne
Featuring: ¡MAYDAY! , Wrekonize
Producer: Plex Luthor
Album: Welcome To Strangeland
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 25 total votes )
When Tech N9ne's not busy serving as the game's most successful indie artist, he's the CEO of his own Strange Music label, a job that's lead to the signing of none other than DJBooth favorites and Lords of the Fly creators ¡Mayday! joining the Strange team. It's a partnership that's created some serious (and seriously dope) music, like today's release The Noose. Producer and ¡Mayday! member Plex Luthor (not to be confused with Lex Luger) helms a collection of live instruments to create a dark, rock based beat that hypnotically loops on guitar lines and minimalist percussion. While ¡Mayday! also provides a touching hook and an equally somber verse (thank you, Wrekonize), Tech takes the opportunity to reflect on a recent visit to a Marine base, bringing to light the often overlooked human cost of war: "This is for the young soldiers who / do exactly what they're told to do." While we're still awaiting a release date on Tech's upcoming Welcome To Strangeland album, if the rest of the project is anything like Noose we can expect yet another epic work from the Kansas City native.
