text: , November 20, 2004 "MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS IN THE BIBLE" Pastor Tom Hughes Only the priests were allowed to minister Newark Seventh-Day Adventist Church There was no priesthood of all believers Sabbath, February 26, 2005Sabbath Only the priests could interpret the Bible I asked a church one time, "How many of you have strong opinions about musical instruments and what Women were not allowed to minister in kind of music we should play in church," and any way. almost everybody raised their hand. I said, "How many of you have very strong opinions?" The same They taught that: number of hands went up. Only their interpretation of the Bible I said, "How many of you have ever done an in was correct depth Bible study on what the Bible teaches about musical instruments?" No hands went up! Reverence meant to: o go to church Now what did that tell me? It told me that, like o be very quiet armpits, everybody has a lot of opinions and they o light a candle or kneel, but they were often smell about as good, too! Because of the way not allowed to speak we present them, sometimes we're odorous! This false system of worship was put in place, I If you've never done an in depth Bible study on the believe, by the devil and it is actually "Babylon" at subject of music, how can form a Biblical opinion its worst, and the doctrine they taught was: on music? Therefore, today, we are going to have reverence equals silence. an in depth Bible study on the subject of music. The "daughters of Babylon" – the Protestant What I want you to do is to get your Bible out and I churches that came out that Roman church – want you to become very, very active as we study. adopted many of these same teachings: I want you actually looking up these Bible texts. Reverence equals silence Whenever you talk about music in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, people will often quote an Ellen The laity have to be quiet White statement that has really confused a lot of people and given rise to an attitude about music that You have to have silence in church is really quite sad – a misinterpretation of what Ellen White said that has not been exegetically Even when Wesley came along and the other correct. Reformers they were somewhat subdued. There are some who have been teaching in the But there was another group of people who, were church for years a message about music that is not also Methodists, who did a Biblical study on the Biblically based; that actually came out of Babylon, Bible and how to worship God, and they were and the daughters of Babylon and their worship called the "shouting Methodists." They believed style. that it was okay to: Shout praise to the Lord During the Dark Ages, the Roman Church taught that: Sing in a loud voice 2 "…It was a triumphant time…" Have loud, exuberant worship "Lift up (your) my hands in (God's) your Raise their hands in the worship name... (Your) My mouth shall praise service you with joyful lips. Make a joyful shout to God all the earth! Psalm 98:1" Pray in an exuberant manner "Shout joyfully before the lord, the One of those shouting Methodists was Ellen King." White. She goes on and on! Ellen White made the statement that the reason Seventh-Day Adventists oftentimes don't have the "Singing, I saw, often drove away the Spirit is because they don't shout enough. She said enemy and shouting would beat him "shouting drives the devil back and if (Satan) back. I saw that pride had crept people would praise the Lord louder and in among you, and there was not shout more, they would have victory childlike simplicity…" over sin." "I saw singing to the glory of God often Now, you probably have never heard that about drove the enemy, and praising God Ellen White (!). That's probably not the Ellen would beat him back and give us the White you've been taught! Did you know Ellen victory." White once was so exuberant in her worship and praise that they stayed up 'til about three in the "The glory of the Lord shone about us, morning, and their neighbors called the cops to and we all rejoiced and triumphed in come and silence them because they were praising God for His unbounded goodness to us. the Lord so loudly?

"We praised our Saviour nearly all "What joy the angels would look down night." from heaven upon us if we were all "…we could not sleep. We were too praising God...begin to sing the song of happy for sleep. There was not much praise and rejoicing here below...Let sleeping done in the house that night." your lips be tuned to praise…" That's the night they called the police! "We need to praise God much more than we do. We are to show that we "The praise of God has been in our have cause for rejoicing." hearts, and upon our lips continually since that good evening. My peace is "The voice of weeping could not be told like a river and the righteousness from the voice of shouting…" thereof like the waves of the sea." "Sunday the power of God came upon Hmm. I guess you haven't heard about that Ellen us like a mighty wind. All arose upon White, have you?

They told me that "We go by the given to this kind of worship." 1 Bible and the Bible only." I've heard people criticize people because they had Now is that still true in the Seventh-Day Adventist singing tracks with a little (bit of) symbol in it or a Church? And I was told that if I take a look at the little drum as they sang. I've heard kids get up and Book and if I take a look at the church, and the do praise music like we had here on Youth Sabbath traditions of the church don't match the Book, that and they'd been criticized for doing contemporary the traditions have to go and the Book has to stay! Christian music – not here, thank goodness! Is that true in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church? Is it still true today? I want you to notice the rest of the text… THE SpIRIT of pRopHECy'S MoST fAMoUS She says there is the "…thread of the cheap, music quote is found in 2 Selected miserable inventions of men's Messages, Page 36-38. theories…The Holy Spirit has nothing to do with such a confusion of noise In it she says, "Just before the close of and multitude of sounds as passed probation, every uncouth thing will be before me…Satan works amid the din demonstrated." and confusion of such music, which, properly conducted, would be a praise She says, "There will be shouting with and glory to God…" drums, music, and dancing. There will be a bedlam of noise." She goes on, "…He makes its effect like the poison sting of the serpent. Those And then she says, "Better never have the things which have been in the past will worship of God blended with music be in the future. Satan will make music than use have musical instruments to a snare by the way in which it is do the work which last January was conducted." {2SM 37.5} presented to me. This would be brought into our campmeetings. The So, in this quote here, I want you to notice what truth for this time needs nothing of Ellen White says and doesn't say. Is the this kind. A bedlam of noise shocks the instruments that used being condemned here or is it senses and perverts." the way they are played? She is not condemning any musical instruments, she's condemning the And then it says, "That which if conducted irresponsible use of these instruments to create bedlam and noise. aright might be a blessing." Now, I've heard this Ellen White quote used a She uses these words: dozen times to say that drums were bad and that we shouldn't have percussion instruments in church. "uncouth" And until I looked it up and read it for myself, I didn't realize that they were all misquoting it and "bedlam of noise" misleading me. And I've been mislead for years by some by the use of this quote. "cheap miserable inventions" It says, "The powers of satanic agencies blend with the din and noise, to have a 1 The Voice in Speech and Song, Chap. 67, Wrong Use of the Voice in Music, pages 417, 418 4 "confusion of noise" Now all of a sudden, "Oh, classical music is the "multitude of sounds" only pure way to worship." I don't think so! There are hymns in our hymnal today that were German "din that shocks the beer-drinking songs that Martin Luther took and put senses" to music. Do you like "Faith Of Our Fathers"? They liked it in the pubs, too. Now it is a beautiful "confusion" hymn. "a snare" What I'm trying to say to you is, culture always changes. For 200 years, Mozart was bad; now The music she heard in January was absolute Mozart's great. Now Mozart's considered holy bedlam and would be inappropriate to use in God's music and it's fine to listen to it. Some people say services. But notice what she did not say. She did it's the only kind of music that should even be not say the drums were bedlam, she said the music played on Sabbath. I don't agree with that, but created on them at that meeting was bedlam. This some people say that. Well, he (Mozart) was a is indicative because she says, "A bedlam of philandering wretch! He was an awful human being noise shocks the senses and perverts; but God gave him a great gift, and he used it for the that which if conducted aright might be glory of God. God can take sinners and use what a blessing." they do in a powerful way. He's not limited by the fact that he is using imperfect human beings. She's talking about the instruments she mentioned and the way the music was created. "If the Now, all this tradition that came out of Roman drums were played aright they could be Catholicism and the "daughters of Babylon," this a blessing" according to her. music that says you have to be quiet and still, and that that equals reverence – I reject. That is what She continues, "Satan works amid the din "Babylon" teaches. I don't want to go back to the and confusion of such music, which, Dark Ages. properly conducted, would be a praise Let's be real Biblical Traditionalists, let's go all the and glory to God." way back to the Bible! Let's follow what this Book says and let's scrap the traditions of "Babylon" and So in the Spirit of Prophecy she makes it clear in her "daughters." Because our method of worship that quote that, if you play these instruments came from the Methodists who came out of Roman correctly, they can be a blessing. Catholicism. I don't want to do it the way the Methodists or the Catholics do. I want to do it the Now, she does not say you can't use drums or way the Bible says to do it! stringed instruments, or tambourines, or any other percussion instrument. The problem I have with I want to open God's word to 1 Samuel 10:5. As our traditional beliefs often is (that) we don't go we go through these texts, when we're done you back far enough in our traditions. We go back to will see very clearly what God in His word says is the Dark Ages, to Mozart and Beethoven, and acceptable. people like that, and classical music, and we say that is holy, that is the only kind of music really in Now God tells us how we can use it. We have to the high brow churches that should be used. decide how that musical instrument is to be played. And I will tell you right now, I'm not suggesting But isn't it interesting that for 200 years Mozart was that we have any kind of rock and roll or any kind considered evil and the Church condemned his of bedlam or noise in our church service. That is music as something that no honest Christian should inappropriate. But the modern praise music that the listen to. For 200 years Mozart was called a "son of church school kids did on Youth Sabbath, and some the devil" by the Church. of the uplifting praise music that people sing that 5 28 has a drum in it or a symbol in the soundtrack – Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant there is nothing wrong with that if it's done rightly. of the LORD with shouting and with the sound of the horn, with trumpets and with cymbals, making And that's why I want you to see what the Bible music with stringed instruments and harps." says so you know that sometimes we have forbidden that which God does not forbid. So here's the ark of the covenant, which would you all agree that the ark of the covenant is at least as 1 Samuel 10:5… sacred as this pulpit? I think it is. And yet, in the presence of that ark, they were shouting, they were "After that you shall come to the hill of God where playing cymbals, they were playing tambourines the Philistine garrison is. And it will happen, when and making beautiful music and rejoicing. And you have come there to the city, that you will meet a when you say "resounding joy," that's "Hallelujah!" group of prophets coming down from the high place You know, that's not quiet, little worship – that is with a stringed instrument, a tambourine, a flute, resounding! Resounding means loud. and a harp before them; and they will be prophesying." 1 Chronicles 16:5… "Asaph (who again is) the chief (of the temple In the Bible, it talks about people prophesying with music program and a cymbal player by the musical instruments: that means preaching. That way,)…" means taking psalms and using them to preach the Word of God through music, and this is often done It says in verse 5, "…Asaph made music with in the Bible. cymbals." So: you can use a tambourine and a stringed And then in verse 42 it says they "…sound aloud instrument, like a guitar, which I will play at the end with trumpets and cymbals and the musical of our service. instruments of God…" Now, in 1 Chronicles 15, I want you to notice Okay these are God's musical instruments that He verses 16, 19, and 28… ordained to be used this way. It doesn't say, like some have suggested, that they just use the cymbals 16 "Then David spoke to the leaders of the Levites to to mark the verse. It says right here, in the word of appoint their brethren to be the singers God, "…Asaph made music with cymbals." accompanied by instruments of music, stringed instruments, (like a guitar) harps, and cymbals, by That indicates he played them musically as part of raising the voice with resounding joy." the music. Now, I want you to look these up with me and read Let's go to 2 Chronicles now, Chapter 5. We are them for yourself. Don't just be lazy, and sit there doing an in depth Bible study on this subject. You and listen to me. If you can get a Bible in your can now say that you have done it because we're hand I want you to open the Word of God and I going to look at all the texts today. There's not an want you to read it! If you can't, that's fine, just inordinate amount of them either. It doesn't take listen. that long, but if we're going to form opinions about musical instruments and which ones we can use in Verse 19, it gives a list of all the singers. Asaph, our church, we need to base it on the Word of God who was one of the leaders of the temple and he's and not on tradition, not on some Catholic or one who wrote many of the Psalms. Methodist tradition that came out of the Dark Ages, but out a Biblical tradition. 19 the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were to sound the cymbals of bronze; 2 Chronicles 5:12-14… 6 "and the Levites who were the singers, all those of People, did God have any problem with the Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, with their sons cymbals? If he did, then why did he fill the temple and their brethren, stood at the east end of the with his presence? altar…," Why did he fill the temple with that cloud, with a Was the altar of God a sacred place? glory so bright that the priests had to leave if he didn't like it? "…clothed in white linen, having cymbals, stringed instruments…" God loved those cymbals! Our God has no problem rejoicing with the Biblical instruments that he has Boy I'm glad I can play my guitar in church (!) given us. We're the ones with our tradition that aren't you? have put all these little rules and regulations in there. And were did we get those rules and "…and harps…" regulations? From our traditions, from what we're comfortable doing, and from how we like to have I wish I had a harp player. music done. Not from the Bible. And my point is, we all have our opinions but when the Word of God "…and with them…" How many? "…one hundred speaks, that settles the question. and twenty priests sounding with trumpets…" This shows that God was very pleased with the Can you imagine 120 priests here blowing the cymbals and the stringed instruments, and he filled trumpet? That'd be loud wouldn't it? How could that house of God with his glory! you play 120 trumpets quiet? You can't! It's loud, people! Okay? Now I want you to notice 2 Chronicles 30:21-23… 21 Now look at verse 13… "So the children of Israel who were present…" "indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and They came to Jerusalem and they "…kept the Feast singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard of Unleavened Bread…" which was symbolic of in praising and thanking the LORD, and when they The Passover, symbolic of Christ dying on the cross lifted up their voice with the trumpets and for us, and the blood that he shed. cymbals…" There were there for "…seven days…"and is says It doesn't say they just marked the end of the verse! with "great…" what? It says as they sang, "…they lifted up their voice with the trumpets…and (the) instruments of (God) "…gladness; and the Levites and the priests music, and (they) praised the LORD…" praised the LORD day by day…" And they said, with great gladness "…singing to the LORD, accompanied by…" quiet instruments? 13 "…'For He is good, For His mercy endures forever,' No? that the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud…" What kind of instruments? Now notice verse 14… "…loud…" 14 "…so that the priests could not continue That's right. "…accompanied by loud ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of instruments." the LORD filled the house of God."(!) 7 Now there are some people who don't understand couldn't stand it and they had to get happy." Even why but they got so excited that they couldn't go the grumpy ones, even they had to rejoice with home. It says they stayed for another seven days (!) resounding joy! And it says, if you read the rest of with gladness according to verse 23… the verse, 23 Then the whole assembly agreed to keep the feast "…the women and the children also rejoiced…" another seven days, and they kept it another seven days with gladness. Everybody rejoiced! "…so that the joy of Jerusalem…" could hardly be heard. No? So they were rejoicing gladly, they were praising God with loud music, they were having so much fun "…so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off." they said, "You know, we gotta do this again. We gotta spend another seven days here!" And they did If people are hearing you afar off, are you quiet? it. They were happy. They were praising God. These people were praising the Lord in a loud voice—so loud that their neighbors could hear People need to understand that loud is still reverent them! if it has respect and worship in its mix. You can be reverent and be loud. Now the Bible says that God speaks to us in "a still, small voice," and there is nothing wrong with that. Some people are very quiet, some people are Nehemiah 12:27, 42, 43… introverts, they're "behind the scenes" people. Some people are extroverts. I can think of several 27 "Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem examples, you know…maybe me! But anyway, they sought out the Levites in all their places, to there are people who are outgoing, exuberant – bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication right? People that are more quiet…maybe Debbie with gladness, both with thanksgivings and singing, (!) But Debbie fools me 'cause she will stand there with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps." and raise her hands and praise the Lord. And then in verse 42 it says, Some people like to raise their hands and praise the Lord, some people like to stand very quiet. Some "…The singers sang…" quietly. How did they people like to open their eyes and look up to sing? "…loudly…" heaven, some people like to boy their head and close their eyes. The singers sang loudly. Hallelujah! You know, However you want to worship the Lord, dear one, they sang with passion! And that's the problem I please worship the Lord, but do it with passion! If have when we sing hymns that are great hymns, you're quietly worshipping Him, worship Him written with gusto, and we sing them like we're passionately quietly! And you never know, you bored out of our mind. We need to sing our hymns may, one day, burst forth in a "Praise the Lord!" with passion. If we're gonna sing a hymn, let's sing yourself! You never know. it! Now go to 1 Chronicles 25 and you're gonna get 43 Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and some good stuff (!) right there in that chapter – rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great some really, really good stuff now! Now we're joy…" getting to the really, really, really good stuff! Did you catch that? That's kind of funny to me. 1 Chronicles 25:1, 3, 6… God made them…made them rejoice with great joy! How does God make you rejoice with great "…David and the captains of the army separated joy? I mean, I don't get that, you know? When I for the service…the sons of Asaph, who should first read that, I thought, "Well it must be that he prophesy with harps, stringed instruments, and just poured out his spirit so strongly that they cymbals…" 8 Did you know you could preach the Word of God "…with harps for the service of the house of God." with a cymbal? You can prophesy with cymbals! Isn't that great? It's as if God was saying, "Cymbals are okay in the house of God," and then some legalistic person "…skilled men performing their service…" who would say, "Yeah, but it doesn't say in the worship prophesied with a harp. What was the purpose of service! It doesn't say in the divine service." Wait the … a minute, God said, "in the house of the LORD with cymbals, and stringed instruments and harps for the service of the house of the LORD." SIDE TWO So God makes it very clear: both in his house and in 1 Chronicles 25:3, 6… his church service – in his worship service. He 3 Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, wants those percussion instruments. It was God Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, who said it. Don't look at me, I didn't write the under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who Bible. prophesied with a harp to give thanks and to praise the LORD. 2 Chronicles 29:25-27; 30… 4 Of Heman, the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, 25 Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, And he stationed the Levites…" Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth. And the reason I'm begging you to look in the Bible yourself at this is because some of you would think 6 All these were under the direction of their father I'm just making it up or somehow twisting it or for the music in the house of the LORD, with making it say something it doesn't say. You need cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, for the to read it with your own eyes and see this is what service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and the Bible teaches; so you know this isn't Pastor Heman were under the authority of the king. Hughes. 25 Tape continues… "… he stationed the Levites…" "…for the music in the house of the LORD." Those are God's priests. Where was this music with all the cymbals and "…in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with stringed instruments to be played? – "…in the house stringed instruments, and with harps, according to of the LORD." the commandment of David, of Gad the king's seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for thus was the Don't let anyone tell you (that) you can't play a commandment of…" Pastor Hughes! cymbal in the church, people! It's not Biblical. Is that what it says? And, as if God wanted to make the point more strongly, he said, "…In the house of the LORD "…for thus was the commandment of …" whom? with…" "…the LORD by His prophets." What? Who commanded that the Levites play cymbals in "…cymbals…" his house of God? The LORD commanded it. God said to do it. 26 Then he says, "stringed instruments…" The Levites stood with the instruments of David…" Thank you! He had to keep that guitar in there. 9 27 Then Hezekiah commanded them to offer the burnt "…praise him with stringed instruments and flute. offering on the altar…" symbolic of Christ. 5 Praise him with…" What kind of cymbals? Loud! Right while they're worshipping and offering this on the altar, it says, "…Praise him with…" what kind? "…high sounding, clashing cymbals. Let everything that "…when the burnt offering began, the song of the has breath praise the LORD." LORD also began, with the trumpets and with the instruments of David king of Israel… So what I say to you this morning is we don't need 30 …So they sang praises with gladness, and they to use rock and roll, or din, or noise, like Ellen bowed their heads and worshiped. White said we should never have in our services, but we can use cymbals, musical instruments like a Here they are, using cymbals and stringed guitar, you can use tambourines or small drums like instruments while they're worshipping and God they used, and even a drum set, which I heard one commanded that they do it. I rest my case. fellow say, "Well, you can use cymbals, and you can use drums, but you can't put 'em all together in God in his word makes it very clear that stringed a set." instruments, percussion instruments, including cymbals, tambourines, tophs – which in Hebrew And I'm like, come on! It's not the instrument, it's means a hand drum – can be used in the worship of how the instrument is played. Let's stop judging God. people and let's start allowing people to do what the Bible says to do, and let's be more concerned with Psalm 68:24, 25… the way the instrument is played than whether or not you can use the instrument. "They have seen Your procession, O God, …into the sanctuary. One of the churches I was at had a lot of young 25 The singers went before, the players on people. They were in a university town, they had a instruments followed after; university ministry, and most of the people that Among them were the maidens playing timbrels. attended were college young people. They had a praise band that used a drum set, and some of the The timbrel was played in the sanctuary by women members didn't like it. But after they used it for who entered the sanctuary. Some people two or three months and saw all the young people mistakenly teach women were never part of the that appreciated it, they came to realize they weren't service. That's not true. This says, right in Psalm going to abuse it they were going to play it 68, that they were one of the ones that led the ark properly. They became very happy with it and as a and followed the ark into the sanctuary and that matter-of-fact, some of the older ones who didn't they were part of that worship experience. like it at all when it first happened, were the ones who really loved it once they heard what it sounded Psalm 150… like! We are too often ruled by fear and ignorance. 1 Praise the LORD!

Don't get mad at me, I 2 Praise Him for His mighty acts; did not write the Bible. Okay?

I 4 Praise Him with the timbrel and (the Hebrew) wish we did have people who could do some dance…" By the way, which is not like modern percussion ministry, and I wish we could have a dancing, okay, it was a Hebrew worship dance that praise group that could help the youth on Fifth had nothing to do with the opposite sex.

And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD also began, with the trumpets and with the instruments of David king of Israel. 30 Moreover King Hezekiah and the leaders commanded the Levites to sing praise to the LORD with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped. Psalm 68:24, 25 They have seen Your procession, O God, The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary. 25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; Among them were the maidens playing timbrels.

Quick question for the electrical experts out there. Currently I have a 50 amp and a 30 amp receptacle in my garage. I am thinking about swapping where they are located. I have 6 gauge to both receptacles so moving the 50 where I want isnt an issue. Where I want to move the 30 amp receptacle to only has a 6 gauge run. Is there any issues using a larger gauge wire? I dont believe there is, but wanted to double check. Thanks
None. Having larger wire will make it work cooler, which is a good thing.
A pessimist is a well informed optimist.
Thats what I thought, just needed to double check.
A #6 will handle 55A @ 60*C. For 30A, it won't even break a sweat.
The only issue is cost. Typically you use the smallest wire you need to save $$$.
If you can cleanly terminate the wire in the device then it sounds ok. Sometimes trying to fit a too large gauge wire into the wrong device can be difficult. Note that you will usually find a size range on the plug or receptacle.
Not that you'll be dealing with this type of power but it is none the less interesting. I did a tour one day of a satellite tracking facility when I was stationed at Eglin AFB. For the super high voltage stuff they just used copper pipe. I guess the electrical engineers figured out somehow that when you get to have very thick gauge wire the electricity only flows on the outer strands leaving the inner strands unused. So to save money/copper they did copper plumbing pipe for certain circuits.

Bath time for Bonobo
11 Responses to "Bath time for Bonobo"
It seems to be an open question whether or not chimps can swim, but they are said to generally avoid water.
Bonobos are not chimps. Their behavior is very different.
Most animals are strong swimmers. I read that rhinos sink. Armadillos are supposed to sink, but they cross streams by just trotting along the bottom. But none of this may be true.
Oh my god, nobody told them to never cross the streams?!
Neither swim. Bonobos hang out in water, though. Not sure if Chimps like water.
God, at first glance I thought that was a stiff, dead chimp in the water. I thought, "what a morbid article title."
Look at those feet thumbs.
A bonobo eh? I bet I know what that left hand is doing…
Which one?
I took this photo! And bonobos can't swim. But they do like water!!

Stop this hype train, Marty wants to get off.
UFC welterweight stalwart Martin Kampmann is fighting Rick Story this Saturday night (Nov. 19, 2011) at UFC 139 from the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California.
A win over the "Horror" and the "Hitman" may find himself back in the 170-pound title chase, which at some point in the very near future, could have him standing across the cage from Nick Diaz. The same Diaz who nearly retired B.J. Penn at UFC 137 last month for his eleventh straight win.
Kampmann was not impressed.
In fact, the Dane claims the Stockton slugger "isn't that good" in an interview with MMA Sucka and that the only thing Diaz excels at is "running his mouth" and "being a punk."
Check it out:
"I personally think Carlos Condit got screwed. Nick Diaz has been pretty good at hyping himself up. To be honest, I don't think Diaz is that good. Anytime he has fought any good wrestlers he has had problems. I think he's going to lose badly to GSP. Diaz is good at running his mouth and doing his thing … you know … being a punk. I would love to fight Nick Diaz sooner than later. I would absolutely love to fight him somewhere down the line."
Diaz will fight Georges St. Pierre at UFC 143 on Feb. 4, 2012, in a bit of unfortunate matchmaking for Carlos Condit, who was oh-so-close to getting his hands on the gold before St. Pierre blew out his knee and had to postpone their pending dance.
Or as Kampmann says, "He got screwed."
That's because Diaz, who was the original number one contender for UFC 137 but was removed and re-inserted for reasons too convoluted to explain (click here if you must know), was sent to the front of the line after handling "The Prodigy" in "Sin City."
Whether or not Kampmann will ever get to fight Diaz remains to be seen. He's got a stiff test in San Jose and Diaz will be concentrating on "Rush" for the foreseeable future. After that, it's anyone's guess.
And speaking of guesses, who wants to take a stab at the winner of a "Kampmann vs. Diaz" bout?
Have at it.

How space technologies are used by the United Nations to enable Member States to reduce disaster risks or to respond to disasters more effectively
Disasters triggered by natural hazards such as floods, droughts, storms or fires affect millions of people every year and result in billions of dollars in economic losses. The United Nations therefore works to improve its Member States' capacities to reduce Disaster risks, to foster resilience and to respond effectively to such disasters by using space technologies. In its role as a gateway to spacebased information, UN-SPIDER compiled this newsletter to highlight some examples of how and why space technologies are used by the United Nations in the context of disasters. These case studies are examples of the extremely valuable work carried out throughout the entire UN system: http://www.un-spider.org/about/newsletter/un-spider-newsletter-114-space...
This week - February 10-13 - TIDES is at the February JIFX joint interagency experiments at Camp Roberts, CA - an event that brings together hundreds of DoD, US Government, state and local government, private sector and NGO reps to explore cooperation and to perform field testing of technologies for disaster relief and emergency response.

The European Journalism Centre (EJC) has released the Verification Handbook, the first ever guide for using user-generated content (UGC) during humanitarian emergencies.
Whether it is debunking images of 'street sharks' during Hurricane Sandy, or determining the veracity of videos that depict human rights abuses, reporting the right information is critical in shaping responses from the public and relief workers as a crisis unfolds.
By providing the exact methods needed to validate information, photos and videos shared by the crowd, the Verification Handbook forms an essential component of any organisation's disaster preparedness plan.
The Verification Handbook draws on the experiences of practitioners from some of the world's premier news and aid organisations, including BBC, Storyful, The Guardian, ABC, Buzzfeed UK, NHK, Poynter Institute, Digital First Media, the Tow Center, GigaOM, the Qatar Foundation's Computing Research Institute (QCRI), the Internews Center for Innovation & Learning, OpenStreetMap, Amnesty International, Circa, Meedan, the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC), WITNESS, the Dart Centre Europe, and Shabab Souria.
An online version of Verification Handbook is available for free at http://verificationhandbook.com, and a PDF, Kindle and Print version will be released on 7 February. An Arabic version of the Handbook will also be released soon thereafter.
This list of academic journals was put together by York University in Canada. It has over 125 journals spanning disaster & emergency management, business continuity, risk and hazards.

At this year's Consumer Electronics Show, BEHRINGER will unveil its new OMNI System, which utilizes Apple's AirPlay technology to create an audiophile-grade home music experience that is both easy to set up and affordable. Designed as a total home audio system, OMNI supports streaming audio from iOS devices and iTunes® directly to the SP3i/SP5i active loudspeakers using your existing Wi-Fi network. It also supports the use of legacy speakers through the addition of the OMNI LINK or AMP to drive existing active or passive speakers, safeguarding your investment in existing technology.

"Thanks to wireless technology and BEHRINGER innovation, consumers can now link new and old systems to create their own personal broadcast empire without spending a fortune." Lakoumentas continues, "The OMNI system allows music to be streamed to individual or multiple speakers at the same time, creating a seamless sound-field that will fill nearly any home. The ability to connect existing speakers into the OMNI ecosystem allows owners to retain prized audio equipment."
Aesthetically pleasing, OMNI loudspeakers are designed to meld with their environment, so as not to detract from even the most sophisticated décor, and are available in either a black or white hand-buffed lacquer piano-style finish or uniquely-appointed, stitched synthetic leather. Both the SP3i and SP5i offer a fully immersive listening experience suitable for all musical genres and tastes, while the optional OMNI SUB can be added for explosive bass response sure to satisfy even the most demanding listener.
OMNI System components include:

Here's how RW members rated this race (10 votes).
In short: Canal start and finish, decent off road in between.In full: As someone who is not too keen on canal running, I was surprised part way round to realise how much I was enjoying it! Could have benefitted from electronic timing so that there was not so much working out for people to do as there was a staggered start. Shame that the weather was not great, or we would have made a day of it and done the walk in the afternoon too! Thanks to all involved.Date of review: September 19, 2013
In short: Lovely scenic off-road raceIn full: This is a great race with bangers and mash in the pub afterwards. Really well organised and the hill isn't even too bad!Date of review: September 16, 2013
Date of review: September 15, 2013
In short: Great course, well organised and good value. One to do again. Date of review: September 15, 2013
In short: Fantastic event - book me in for 2014In full: Great course, wonderful marshals - thanks to all at Droitwich AC for making us feel so welcome and for putting on such a good event.Date of review: September 15, 2013
In short: tricky course but beautiful route, gates cause issues!Date of review: September 18, 2012
In short: Fantastic challenging dayIn full: Very well organised and such a great runDate of review: September 18, 2012
In short: Nice scenic 9 miles with a killer hill. Well organised.In full: The 9 miles was a nice distance for those who want a step up from a 10k, or training for a half marathon.The staggered start was a great idea as it is narrow along the canal, but some of the faster runners should have started earlier, as the first 5-10 mins we were overtaken by some fast ones and we were near the back. Not a big issue though.The route wasn't quick, with a killer hill up to a church, but was a nice route with a good mix of terrain. The marshals were very friendly and encouraging, with a good amount of water stations.The t-shirt was a nice prize, no medal though. Parking facilities were good, as it was free parking on a Sunday. The bangers and mash for all finishers in the pub after was a delicious treat, and rounded off an enjoyable race nicely. Would consider doing it next year.Date of review: September 18, 2012
In short: really enjoyed the race, was not sure if i would even make it round, 7k was the most i had ever run. it was well organised and the marshaling and signs were excellent. thank you for a great day. it was my 1st ever race and would love to do it againDate of review: September 18, 2012
In short: a beautiful challenging runIn full: I signed up for this run to help me get ready to do the great birmingham half marathon next month. I thought this was a great run…beautiful views…great atmosphere…and well organized! There was a huge killer hill…but its a great push! I will definitely do this one again! :) Date of review: September 17, 2012

curious, do these have a check valve built in?
If you use the link, there are others that state "check valve" and cost more, so I doubt this one has a check valve.

You will hardly find an auto manufacturer without recalls. According to the report of the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) the owners of the 2011 Jeep Liberty, manufactured by Chrysler Group, should get in contact with their dealers or NHTSA to check whether their vehicles are in the list of the SUVs that suffer from steering problem. The investigation was opened in June 8, 2011. The recall itself began on July 4.
A missing or incorrectly installed rivet could compromise the ability of the steering column to support the occupant loads in the event of a frontal crash, decreasing the effectiveness of the frontal impact safety system, stated the representative of the defects investigation department. As a result, the condition may increase the potential for injury in a frontal crash.
In total 11,351 vehicles, manufactured by Chrysler for 2011 model year, suffered from this problem and are to be recalled, including Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Caliber, Dodge Grand Caravan, Dodge Nitro, Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot. The spokesman of the company said that there were no reports of injuries or accidents, related to this issue. Chrysler explained the federal government that this problem was caused by the new employees of the company. The workers of the second shift made a mistake and reintroduced the rejected components into the assembling process. The parts were not repaired. As a result the vehicles rolled off the plant with incorrectly installed or missing rivet. Chrysler dealers will make the necessary repair free of charge.

Tyler Cowen may have an explanation to the financial crisis, though his off-Paper forecast may add more scope to the analysis. Tim Harford talks about the off-record side deals, which did not follow the Rules of sensible Risk, and brought down the Whole when they became too massive. I believe there were two basic Reasons for the Crisis: Business personnel were overcharging for their own contribution to the Economy, and they insisted on a like rate of Return for their Investments. There was also a commitment to an ideal which I have never found existent: The claim that an Organization can get too big to fail. A combination of usurious greed and over-optimistic beliefs brought down the entire process. We are now down to Governments being too Big to Fail, a Concept resident in the Foolhardy.
John Quiggin would blame the rating agencies, which I cannot really criticize as it is so true; yet, We deflect from the primary agents–those who created the bad debt in the first place. The basic problem with critique of the rating agencies lay in their intrinsic lack of knowledge in their forecasting procedures. There is continual pressure to present good Ratings coming from the Seekers of those Ratings, without any support from Those relying upon the ratings for Investment decisions. Seekers utilize the lack of failure as pressure to increase the Ratings, and proclaim any downgrade to be a betrayal. Those who relied on faulty assessments for Investment do not blame the Sellers of bad debt, as much as they blame the Raters of that Debt. Investors get less from Rating agencies than they desire, but have paid almost nothing up-front, trusting to the moral integrity of Raters, who are basically paid by the Seekers of good Ratings.
Every Crisis brings out Explanations of how previous Great Economic Thinkers had already noted the quality and context of the Crisis. This is one of those Referrals which is better than Most. Keynes did have much criticism of unregulated markets. The real Problem in the current Crisis was not runaway markets, or the dastardly Asset bubbles inside a stable Price format. It was the static suppression of ordinary Wages, coupled with the rapid acceleration of Innovative Wage scales. New Wealth rose rapidly, Investments rose rapidly, and Prices rose steadily, all while average Wages stagnated. Consumer markets left ordinary Debt aggregation, and entered extraordinary Debt aggregation, as average Wage earners tried to maintain the increased Price pacing. The New Wealth of the Innovative Wage-Earners insisted on the same accelerated Gain in Investments, as they received in Wages. They pursued Risk because it paid more. Then the Bottom fell out, as Returns could not be generated, and Equity existed only on Paper. lgl

Characteristics, Covariances, and Average Returns: 1929 to 1997
AbstractThe value premium in U.S. stock returns is robust. The positive relation between average return and book-to-market equity is as strong for 1929 to 1963 as for the subsequent period studied in previous papers. A three-factor risk model explains the value premium better than the hypothesis that the book-to-market characteristic is compensated irrespective of risk loadings.

Better and Cheaper Magnetic Uncouplers
Yes, you can make your own magnetic uncouplers, and they just might be the most effective uncouplers you'll ever use. In fact, they work so well that you can use them with body-mounted Micro-Trains Nn3/Z couplers. But perhaps the best part is that they cost less than a dollar per uncoupler. All you'll need to buy is Radio Shack #64-1879 (or equivalent) one-inch rectangular ceramic magnets. Two magnets make one uncoupler.
Because they are mounted under the track, it's obviously easier to install these uncouplers before tracklaying. Leave a one-inch gap in the roadbed where an uncoupler will be located. You may need to carve a slight depression in the subroadbed so that the magnets sit flush with the top of the surrounding roadbed. Apply adhesive to the slot (I use Liquid Nails), and place two magnets side-by-side with their long sides together such that they naturally attract and the joint between them follows the track centerline. Then lay the track right over the magnets.
To install an uncoupler in existing track, you'll have to carve out a one-inch slot in the roadbed beneath the track to accommodate the magnets. You may find it easier to remove the ties along with the section of roadbed, then make new ties from scrap ties or strip styrene and bond them to the surface of the magnets with CA before installing them. Apply adhesive to the slot, then slide the magnets sideways into position. Make sure they fit flush against the track.
Since these uncouplers are totally hidden, you'll probably want to mark them so they can be spotted by operators. You could simply paint the ties a slightly lighter or darker color, as if they are very old or just replaced. Or you could place a realistic detail nearby, like a small stack of used ties, a couple of rusted-out barrels, a figure, or any interesting item that's appropriate to find along the track.
In the photo at left, I marked the uncoupler with a Preiser figure. Note that the boxcar has a body-mounted Micro-Trains Nn3/Z coupler, while the locomotive has a standard M-T coupler. This is not a mistake; not only can you mix and match couplers, but the uncoupler will properly uncouple and "set" (position for delayed uncoupling) both types. In fact, it is not necessary to maintain strict trip pin height tolerances; I've seen trip pins function properly that were as much as 1/8-inch above the rails.
Sometimes you may not want an uncoupler "live" at all times, such as one that is located on a mainline. In this case you can cut a hole beneath the track and mount the magnets to a block on on a hinge. The uncoupler can then be raised and lowered by a motor drive such as a Tortoise switch machine, or by simply pulling a string!
IMPORTANT NOTE: These uncouplers may not work with Accumate couplers; also, they have not been tested with McHenry couplers.
