Sounds so much like my text for Sunday evening from Romans "After all these years of refusing to really deal with God on his terms, insisting instead on making their own deals, they have nothing to show for it." Don't we all try to make God in our image and live our lives according to that?
Man in Green: Well…. I am striving to be more in line with Christ. Thank you for the compliment
hi Spiralis, that's what I'd like for the thing to be if it was me.
boy – it's a relief to know someone know's what God's saying
I just bumble along, trying to work out how to follow texts like 'love one another as I have loved you'.
I see they both have no ears to hear what God is saying! I have ears but still don't hear much God wise sometimes a bit like Subo (#4) I couls suspect he's a mute. :-|

Everyone's God is a projection of themselves, so God will always sound like the person who is talking.
Hands up who has ever heard a minister talk about God, but not recognise the God that minister is talking about!
That's why people will drive past 5 churches to go to the one where other people's perceptions are at least similar to their own. This is much less challenging than thinking about why this is the case.
I love this quote from Anne Lamott – you know you've created God in your image when he hates all the same people you do.
im pretty careful what I say in Gods name these days.
Hmm, I think God's saying I should have a new dress…
joking apart, I do find it important to try to hear God speaking to me
it's a tricky one, as the experience of people's conviction that God's spoken has been difficult for me, perhaps there might be a clue here – if someone is convinced, in a black and white way, then maybe they need to chat to their Dr,
though the person who has a hunch, and tries to test it out, cautiously and humbly, might well be hearing from God
One thing I've tried hard to work on recently, is letting myself experience God's love and valuing of us, personally and for people I care about. It's very hard to hold a useful faith without some tangible experience of God
It's often impressive to be with someone who has a quiet confidence in God's continuing presence, and I wonder sometimes if the noisy wild claims come more from a longing to believe God, than a ongoing relationship with God, though a longing for God is going to be the starting point for all of us
How does God "speak" anyway?
To me walking in God's path is more a matter of changed perspective on myself and the people around me. It's an attitude towards life itself and Jesus gave an example. But most of the time I'm not aware of this perspective.
There are very few spiritual leaders I know, that manage to stay in this perspective and treat people as Jesus did. They may be authorized to say "God says:…"
Many times it's all just about manipulation.
Clergy etc. do sometimes set themselves up as being in a position to say "God says…", they are indeed 'authorized' by their employer to do so. But unless they can demonstrate that they have received some kind of divine revelation, they are essentially just expressing an opinion, like everyone else. And the Rabbi's "God says" will sound different from the vicar's "God says". And the RC priest's "God says" will be different from the Mullah's "God says". And there are thousands of other faiths, with millions of factions. Each one's "God says" will be different again. Some of us seek out the "God says" that suits how we perceive the world, others of us wonder whether God ever actually said anything at all, or whether the human tendency to project hopes, aspirations, fears and concerns onto an outside agent is simply a universal phenomenon.
manipulative stuff is horrible, have my share of being on the receiving end.
I think we often try to cope with fear by trying to control things around us. This can be really destructive if it's people we try to control – although maybe we do more of this than we want to admit?
however, I don't see why, just because some words are manipulative, that excludes the possibility of God genuinely wanting to communicate with us. There is a fairly vast number of witnesses to the reality of this through the centuries
personally, I don't see why God can't speak to different groups differently, why shouldn't God engage with people of all different faiths? do we have a monopoly on God?
having said that, I think you can test experiences of God to see how closely they support what we do know of his character, i.e. God's heart for justice and peace. I'd find it easier to accept a word as coming from God if it encouraged the giving of love, and the fair allocation of resources, than the building of the churches empire or the establishment of an individuals power
The more life goes on the more I see God a sadistic prankster.
Who says what they've heard God say has less and less impact – to the point of none, now.
Our church leader recently told the congregation that some of them were 'completely mad'. Many of them think HE's completely mad too, but it's all said quite affectionately. I think we quite enjoy the mutual madness!
Then I don't suppose that's all you've been toying with! ;-)
Hi Robb, like your reflectiveness, though for me it's not about a them and us ministry, it's about all of us functioning as the Body of Christ, to find practical means to help each other experience God's love for us.
I've been aware recently, that a handful of people have reached out to me, and that through them I've begun to experience God's love. They never told me what they thought God was saying, they just showed me understanding and empathy.
"Free gift with every purchase – Grace. No purchase necessary!"
Well that doesn't make much sense! I think you need to change those pants, Robb.
I'm not buying it!
On the crummy Alpha course we were told that God had written us a cheque and it was free – all we had to do was accept it.
Sounds suspiciously like the Nigerian scam to me.
Really??! A SERIES of books?
I want to start a group called 'Intellectuals Against Alpha'. Maybe that sounds a bit arrogant, but something along those lines. What I hate is the fascism of it – like having a national curriculum. It really goes against encouraging diversity of thought.
Not all the south is middle class. I've heard about Alpha course groups in the East End of London having hysterics at Nicky Gumballs accent.
Alpha hit the US shores back in the 1990s – works for those who are really into church and want to deepen their spiritual life. For those who aren't church-y to begin with, it doesn't seem to work. I was into clique Christianity in my twenties but that doesn't work these days. And there's a lot of Anglican Anglophiles – love the British accent so much they try to imitate it. Painful and pretentious.
I take your point, guys, re Alpha. But I have a bit of difficulty writing it off quite so glibly. Seriously, I wouldn't be at the place I am at were it not for Alpha and, though others may beg to differ, I don't see myself as completely gullible and incapable of independent thought. But, I suppose it depends on the church that is doing it. I can see how the nature of the Alpha 'franchise' could offend but you can make it more bespoke. The Alpha I attended was a joint church venture so I suspect that was a bit different for starters. We didn't have the videos, we had the various church leaders giving the talks. And whilst the content was the same, the clergy/church leaders always issued the disclaimer that it was Nicky Gumble's content and feel free to disagree at the group session. I still feel a special loving bond to the people that took me on my Alpha journey years back. I continued involvement for a few years as a small group leader (though I prefer the idea of fellow journeyer – I'm not even equipped to lead a dog!) We seldom pressed the requisite Alpha questions, preferring the results of relevant digression along a theme. We seriously crapped ourselves(metaphorically) about taking our guests on the Holy Spirit Day (we didn't stretch to weekends) but didn't pressurize, encouraged questioning and tried to respond with as much love as was necessary to whatever emotions may have emerged. I constantly felt that however hamfisted I may been in my approach to Alpha, I offered guests the opportunity to enquire, evaluate and make up their own minds. I made no effort to conceal my own fallibility but was constantly amazed by my own conviction that God made Him/Herself known to people in spite of us rather than because of us. I look back with particular fondness at one very forthright lady who came along with the intention of discrediting Christianity. She continued in this vain for most of the course. She enjoyed the Holy Spirit Day but didn't seem especially moved by it. I was shocked when something seemed to have changed dramatically by the last session. She is now training to be a vicar.
Further down the line, I have personally moved beyond the simplistic nature of Alpha but I cannot deny that at the time it was what I needed and it kickstarted the process of deconstructing the received faith of my childhood and building my own faith. And it was all done under the wise auspices of wonderful people. Now I just hang around places like this (with equally wonderful people) and listen to or engage in the debate. I'm not quite sure where I am going faithwise, but at least I know I do have a faith.
If anyone has bothered to stay to the end of this epic, sorry I've rambled on!
Carole, don't ever apologise for rambling – we love you :D
I've never had anything to do with Alpha but am naturally suspicious of it (as I am of most mainstream church things I'm afraid). There's an american here in bahrain doing something kind of similar (I believe) with videos by Joel somebody (Osteen possibly??) – apparently a few Muslims go too. But yeah, I find that as irrelevant to me as alpha. Sanctuary, Greenbelt, Asbo – that's my holy trinity of church :D lol
So Robb, what do you reckon a northern working class version of Alpha could look like?
hiya Carol, keep plugging Alpha, I've seen people find the opportunity to explore their faith, and what they believe over a number of weeks, prove really meaningful
Sorry Robb
How is it we can accept the Jesus is the 'living Word,' but then not expect God to be a God who speaks? (or comminicates, if that's easier!)
I'm not saying hearing God's voice is easy, but I'd rather take a stab at prayfully seeking what God might be saying, (and potentaily get it wrong, but I would never tell someone 'i think god is saying you should do x with your life;' it's also a phrase I don't ever use lightly!) than espouse the attitude of the guy on the right who to me seems a little graceless and smug?
I only glibly dismiss it because I find it so glib in itself. I hunger for good theology and places where you can genuinely discuss things, but my experience of Alpha wasn't that.
I don't think it's a good idea for Christians, or anyone, to all go through the same course no matter whether it's good or bad. Alpha has too much of a monopoly and it will lead to a lack of diversity in thinking or not thinking at all. It pushes one particular atonement theory and one type of theology.
I'm not saying Alpha isn't a big success as far as roping people into Christianity. Why wouldn't it be? It provides them with a set of pat answers and they don't have to think any more. That's probably very appealing to miners and bankers.
Curious to know, beatthedrum – what recent prophecies do you know of that have come true? Or are they just descriptions of how things are?
I'm not sure what you mean by 'the work'.
Was rather hoping for more specific examples on the prophecy front. The ones I hear are pretty vague – eg. There's someone here with a bad ankle. Well there are probably at least three people there with a bad ankle, if not more. Reminds me of Spiritualist meetings, 'Someone here used to have a caged bird and they know someone called Betty.'
Beat the Drum: I saw this and thought of you…
There's going to be a talk at Greenbelt titled The Thoughtful Charismatic. See http://www.greenbelt.org.uk/festival/2009/lineup/event/2952 . Why does the speaker think it necessary to use the word "thoughtful"?
I know you're not going to Greenbelt, but if you want to listen to the talk, many talks are recorded and can be downloaded afterwards.
It's just one of those pastiche titles Greenbelt likes. There used to be lots of books called things like, 'The Thoughtful Teacher', 'The Thoughtful Pastry Chef', 'The Thoughtful Dressmaker.' Just means it's aimed at someone wanting to be a reflective practitioner. I don't think it necessarily means that Charismatics aren't thoughtful.
'a lot of the cultural necessity that the alpha course insists upon makes little sense in the "working class parts" of the "north of england".'
What do you mean by 'the cultural necessity that the alpha course insists upon'? (Btw, not disputing anything, just don't know what you mean.)
How did you answer my question before I posted it?
Where DO you live Robb? It sounds like somewhere from another century! Even people in Romford and Basildon go to cafes and to each other's houses for dinner.
Well it did come from 'The Church of Christ, Sloane Ranger.'
Well! You'll be telling us next that these miners don't go to a wine bar after the evening service.
Ha ha. Love it!!!

I think Alpha was developed with a specific group in mind, and it does serve that 'type' of person very well. Surely the point is to adapt the idea of wanting to reach out to the local circumstances, so if beer and bible works better elsewhere, then do that? A mate of mine used to preach in the working men's clubs in the north east and she went down very well!
Well said, Kim. Alpha is a local model that has travelled as a result of massive marketing. But it is only a model and needs adapting to the preferred local style.
If anyone has ever been pushed into accepting a set answers on anything, they have been served badly. This is not my experience. I was given space to form my own opinions, to question, to accept or reject anything that was stated and I hope I always allowed that basic right to others. Alpha is as much about group dynamic as anything else. Apart from occasional visits from Jehovah's Witnesses at my door, I had never been given the opportunity to enter into any discussions on spiritual matters so I welcomed the opportunity, as I know many others have done. It didn't churn out 'cookie cutter Christians' (as BeckyG might describe them) as a matter of course. Many ended the course saying it was a pleasant 10 weeks but I am happy as I am. Not a problem. If nowt else, they have a few more people to say hello to at the local shops and, personally, I think it is pretty much all about relationship.
And, as BTD rightly said, it is a starting point, nothing more. If you want to go head to head with the Dali Lama, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Richard Dawkins, the Pope, St Augustine and the Chief Rabbi and argue them into submission, Alpha is not even going to tickle your tastebuds. Perhaps a hermitage on an otherwise uninhabited island is more appropriate…with Wi-fi Broadband, naturally… ;)
I had a thought about people's ideas of God being similar to what hey think themselves. I've come across the idea (in Good Goats by the Linns) that we become like the God we worship, so if our idea of god is a violent powerful being who's a fan of genocide, then we become like that. If our idea of god is a loving being who is slow to anger and rich in love then we become kinder.
The argument the authors make is that it's very important to heal our image of god in order to be healed ourselves.
'if our idea of god is a violent powerful being who's a fan of genocide, then we become like that.'
Doesn't that rule out believing in the God of the Old Testament then?
I didn't read all the previous comments here, so it may have already been said. But very often when a preacher says, "God says..", he is merely referring to what is written (like Jesus said: "It is written."), in the Scriptures. Someone who doesn't hold to an inerrant and infallable view of the Scriptures is going to take offense to that. Still, it is wise to "test the Spirits", and know enough of what the Bible actually says to be able to discern when someone is spinning.

By Catherine A. Cardno, Ph.D.
The Birmingham New Street redevelopment project, which began in 2010, has reached its halfway mark. Next week will mark the grand opening of the first half of the new concourse.
April 23, 2013—Birmingham New Street station is the busiest rail station in the United Kingdom outside of London: 140,000 passengers pass through the station daily, more than double the station's intended maximum, and trains depart every 37 seconds, according to the station's operator, Network Rail. While these numbers are the reason the station is undergoing a £600 million (U.S.$915 million) redevelopment and expansion, the fact that this passenger volume has continued unabated during the project is a testament to careful planning as well as the importance of public rail to the city, its surrounding areas, and the wider national rail network.
The last station redevelopment in Birmingham took place in the 1960s, according to Chris Montgomery, Network Rail's project director for the redevelopment, who wrote in response to written questions posed by Civil Engineering online.
"The station is dark, overcrowded, with poor access into the concourse and down to the platforms," he said. "[It] provides a poor first impression of Britain's second city, and its position in the city center has hindered economic development on the south side of the city."
The redevelopment is designed to correct these issues, and will expand the concourse to 3.5 times its size, improve access points throughout the station, and add a new 450,000 sq ft shopping center above the station. A new multistory parking garage and ground-level public plaza will also be built; the number of bicycle parking spaces will be expanded from 24 to 160.
A new shopping space and multistory parking garage will be built atop the expanded rail station. Network Rail
The redevelopment will support the extension of the Midland Metro tram system, which will terminate at the station, according to Network Rail. Ultimately, the expanded station will be capable of handling twice the daily passenger traffic that it currently experiences.
Prior to the commencement of the work, the station sat adjacent to the Pallasades shopping center and a large multistory parking garage. The project reimagined the use of these spaces so that the concourse will expand into a portion of the retained parking structure as well as into the former Pallasades space.
Once the project is completed in 2015, a 3,300 sq m atrium carved from the center of the Pallasades shopping center will allow natural light to penetrate the concourse and platform levels. Like the train station, the Pallasades shopping center will remain open while approximately 20,000 metric tons of concrete are removed from its center and roof. Lightweight, self-cleaning ethylene tetrafluoroethylene, or ETFE, will be used for the atrium's roof.
The new shopping space will be built atop the existing station and the Pallasades building and will be rebranded Grand Central Birmingham upon its opening in 2014. The new retail and dining space is being touted as a shopping destination for the city and region as a whole, and will be anchored by a full-line John Lewis department store covering a whopping 23,226 sq m. An additional 18,580 sq m of retail space will be available for lease to other retailers.
To cap off the work, the entire 16,000 m sq facade of the expanded and refurbished station and retail area will be clad in curving, reflective stainless steel panels so that the exterior appeal matches that of the interior upgrades. As part of the process, the existing exterior concrete panels have been removed so that fixture points for the new cladding can be identified. Supporting steelwork has been attached to the building, to which the cladding is being attached. (A visual flythrough of the redeveloped station and retail area may be viewed here.)
When it fully opens in 2015, the expanded Birmingham New Street station will include a spacious, light-filled atrium carved out of an existing building on the site. Network Rail
"The project will help stimulate regeneration and economic development in the city by creating new pedestrian links and public space linking the south side of the city to the station and city center," Montgomery said. In conjunction with the new retail space, the rail station redevelopment is anticipated to create 1,000 new jobs once the project is completed.
At the halfway point on April 28, all passenger traffic will shift from the original station to a new concourse space built in a portion of the retained adjacent parking garage; all the existing rail station entrances will be closed and three new entrances opened. As part of this phase, 36 new escalators and 15 new elevators to the platforms will be unveiled to move passengers from the new concourse to the train platforms. While the concourse opening next week is only half the size of its 2015 iteration to come, it will nevertheless offer more space than its 1960s counterpart.
Work has been choreographed so that only one platform has had to be closed at a time, enabling normal train service—and passenger circulation into and out of the city—to continue. Work on the project proceeds 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with a total of 1,000 workers involved on the site, according to Network Rail.
The redevelopment project is funded by Network Rail; the Birmingham City Council; the Department for Transport; the development agency Advantage West Midlands; and Centro, the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive and Authority. The project team managing delivery includes Network Rail; the contractor, Mace Group, headquartered in London; the global design, engineering, and project management firm Atkins; and architects AZPA, based in London and Barcelona.

It begins by thinking about how the keywords-stasis, repetition, transformation---are loaded with both critical and political expectations, before exploring various contestations that collectively converge on a struggle over the definition and political character of the present: 1- queer theory's quest for queer time; postcolonial studies's engagement with "ruination"; and feminist theory's turn toward a "new materialism." Seeking less to decipher "the times we are in" than to wonder over our critical certainty that we have a grasp on the present, the talk parses the language, affects, and political investments that shape the circulation of temporality as an object of inquiry in the interpretative human sciences today.

Far Cry 2 Widescreen Fix
Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 10/27/2008 07:48 AM [ 0 comment(s) ]
Download Far Cry 2 Widescreen Fix If you are somehow bothered by a reported widescreen FOV issue recently identified in Far Cry 2. Far Cry 2 is actually a cropped version of the 4:3 video, reminiscent of a similar problem, or design decision, from BioShock.
Good news, a fix was created by Racer_S over at Widescreen Gaming Forum, who also created a homebrew fix for similar problems in BioShock.
Note: The fix only works with Far Cry 2 v1.00.
1) Run Trainer/Hack
2) Edit options if needed
3) Start Far Cry 2
4) Press Numpad * to enable new FOV settings
5) You can safely Alt-Tab from Far Cry and change settings at any time (defaults are X FOV = 1, Y FOV = 1.333)
Tagged as: Widescreen

Hi Gaz
Firstly welcome to the ePHOTOzine I see you're settling in well
Why not form an ePHOTOzine members group and start getting familiar with a few members and then extend that to meetings. The groups feature is perfect for what you're wanting to do.
You form a group, encourage members through the forum, post pics to the group and debate them and share ideas through the group forum. And then extend activity to the calendar and members meets aspects.
The only thing I would say about groups is to keep them busy you need to be active, so you need a few people to join who'll keep the momentum going...just like in real life.

Artificial Retinas Can Balance a Pencil On Its End
samzenpus posted more than 3 years ago | from the for-all-your-pencil-balancing-needs dept.165
mikejuk writes "A team of researchers has built a neural information system that is good enough and fast enough to balance a pencil in real time. If you think it's an easy task, try it! The Institute of Neuroinformatics, ETH / University Zurich have used what look like video cameras to do the job but in fact they are analog silicon retinas. They work so fast that even with fairly basic hardware they can balance a pencil."

Did anyone else feel like they were watching a video from last season for the majority of tonight's loss? A slow start, horrible powerplay, horrendous passing and not enough scoring. The Buffalo Sabres kicked off their 2013-2014 season in Detroit against the Red Wings, but it left many fans wishing they hadn't. For Rasmus Ristolainen and Zemgus Girgensons their first NHL games are now under their belts and hopefully the young defenceman can get his head on straight.
Tonight the first period was the beginning of the end for the Sabres. The puck dropped, but the Sabres were nowhere to be found and it
cost them the game- literally. It took all of 13 seconds for the Sabres to lose this game. Mikael Samuelsson deflected a shot past Miller to open the scoring then just a few seconds later Pavel Datsyuk intercepted a Rasmus Ristolainen pass and put the nail in the coffin scoring a beautiful goal top shelf. Should Miller have stopped the 2nd goal, probably but it was a beautiful shot and you can't fault Ryan Miller for tonight's loss after he stopped 32 shots. Anytime a goaltender can limit the opposition to under 3 goals, they've done their job and given their team a chance to win and Miller did just that.
The Sabres didn't show up in the first period and as a result they fell behind 2-0 early and had to play catch-up for the rest of the game. On a more positive note, Zemgus Girgensons scored his first NHL goal in his debut and kept the Sabres from being shutout by Jimmy Howard and the Red Wings. Girgensons had just one shot on net and finished with just over 11 minutes of play, one shot one goal!
The Sabres did catch a break in the second period when Todd Bertuzzi poked a loose puck past Miller, but the goal was called back due a goaltender interference call. Did you know you can't sit on a goaltender? Later Corey Emmerton was granted a penalty shot after being dragged down by Thomas Vanek, but Miller answered the bell and stopped Emmerton point black. If it wasn't for Miller tonight this game could have easily been 5-0.
Aside from the 2-1 lose, the big story for the Sabres tonight was their pathetic, embarrassing and horrendous power play. Yes I'm upset, you can't go 0-9, failing to score on two separate 5-on-3 advantages if you want to win hockey games. Heck even if you don't want to win you can't go 0-9 with the man advantage. Ron Rolston needs to find a way to fix their powerplay woes in a hurry, because right now opponents don't have to worry about taking a penalty against the Sabres.
Considering the skill level of the Red Wings and a young, inexperienced Sabres team a 2-1 lose to kick off the season isn't horrible but they owe a huge thank you to Ryan Miller. What was horrible was the Sabres lack of effort for the majority of the game, it's time the Sabres start acting like professionals and show up for puck drop not half-way through the second period.
The Sabres will be back in action on Friday night when they take on the Ottawa Senators for the Sabres home opener. Hopefully Rolston, puts the boys through some tough practices and they show up to play on Friday. But after one game the Sabres are 0-1 on the season, was tonight a sign of things to come or just a rough start?

Citizen Smart-Kites Check China's Air

Beijing's air quality is notoriously terrible. It's so bad that China's leaders have begun to seal themselves off, all the while producing air quality reports of extremely dubious accuracy. Earlier this summer, Designers Deren Guler and Xiaowei Wang took to the skies of Beijing to begin challenging the official story, attaching air quality sensors to kites and publishing the results.

Watch 'Community's' Halloween Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Clip!
Sadly, the time has come and gone to see a new Halloween-themed episode of 'Community' on track with this year's actual holiday, considering that NBC pulled the series from airing on its intended dates. So even if if we end up having to wait until February for the latest from the Greendale Gang, that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the holiday with the cast of 'Community' right now! Make your own trailer, choose your own adventure, and check out the 'Community' Horror Picture Show!
We'd like to say that it wouldn't be Halloween without a fresh episode of 'Community,' but NBC has advised us not to take that bet. Fortunately, the Greendale gang will still manage to deliver this season, even if the 'Community;' season 4 premiere and its subsequent Halloween episode won't hit the airwaves for some time. In the meantime, we've got the 'Community' Horror Picture Show!
Using the below interactive menu, you can string together past 'Community' clips to form a trailer of your own, or even string through the different Halloween episodes in a kind of "Choose Your Own Adventure" style of play. So while we'll have to make do without any fresh 'Community' this season, and delay our long-awaited trip to Pierce's mansion, play through the game below and tell us your favorite 'Community' Halloween episode in the comments!

CROWN POINT | The Board of Directors of the Northwest Indiana Regional Development Authority on Tuesday approved a $17 million matching grant for the Waterfront Revitalization Initiative in East Chicago.
The grant will help fund the first phase of the work, which includes improvements at Jeorse Park Beach and the East Chicago Marina, street and overpass work and demolition of vacant properties.
"East Chicago has already invested more than $20 million in the North Harbor community and this grant will allow the city to better connect the neighborhood to the lakeshore and set the stage for economic development," Ed Glover, East Chicago's appointee to the RDA Board of Directors, said in a prepared statement.
"Between this investment, other city and Indiana Department of Transportation projects, and the new Cline Avenue bridge, East Chicago is set to make a dramatic transformation in just the next few years."
Several Gary residents at the meeting expressed outrage that jobs on projects such as the Gary airport expansion and Marquette Park development aren't going to local residents.
"The RDA funded jobs in these communities have provided little or no employment to people living in them," said Dwight Gardner, president of the Northwest Indiana Federation of Organizations/Jobs Coalition.
Gary resident Carolyn McCrady said people who live in the communities paying towards the RDA aren't getting jobs on the projects.
"This cannot continue," she said. McCrady, who said she is also part of the Federation, said they have no problem with the Gary airport development and the possibility of a trauma hospital built in the city but that if present trends continue local residents will not get those jobs.
RDA Executive Director Bill Hanna said the job concerns are a real issue.
"There have been a lot of local residents hired on jobs," he said. "But it's an issue that requires a comprehensive solution to. I know our governor's office is looking at redesigning workforce development statewide. These are issues that are being talked about and we want to participate in and see a solution proffered. At this point it's hard to gauge whether or not we can really change that."
As far as the grant for East Chicago, Hanna said there are a lot of positives and that it helps alleviate crime by getting rid of vacant buildings. It also improves the connections for the North Harbor neighborhood to the shoreline.
"This will enhance the quality of life," said East Chicago Mayor Anthony Copeland.
The RDA also approved a $200,000 Challenge Grant for the town of Kouts. Combined with $445,000 in local funding, the grant will be used to extend infrastructure to 63 acres of land at Ind. 49 and 680 South. This location links the Dunes Kankakee Trail with the national American Discovery Trail.
Also during the meeting, concerns were raised by Teresa Torres, executive director for disability-rights group Everybody Counts about accessibility at Marquette Park following its redevelopment.
Torres said it hasn't been done in compliance with the American Disabilities Act.

This a condensed and more explained version of my blog over at www.wardrobe365.blogspot.com. I set myself the challenge to create a new look everyday for a whole year. It's been hard work and I have plenty more to do, but it'll be worth it in the end when I have a whole catalog to look back on. Enjoy and all feedback is appreciated.

thanks to everyone who came to any of the shows. thanks to Brian Lee Hughes, John Dwyer, Ty and Carlos at CMRTYZ, Robert Cifuentes at kxlu, the people at Burger Records, Grass Widow, motha fuckin BURNT ONES!, Rick Eusey, Rob Williamson, my Mom n Dad, heather's mom and family, matt's grandma Suzie, everyone at Get Bent, Panache, the Heavy Times fucks, Running, the Burlington in CHI, Sean and the Digital Leather folks, JD in Larime, all the people involved in the treefort music festival, the mighty Hot Victory, Lozen, Matt n Cat in Portland, magic gardens, Ben, Ifrah, and Marshall, and all of the crew at Kalidescope vision in Seattle, McCafe, Heather's wonderful van "White Bitch" and anyone i forgot, thanks for a fantastic tour.
various miscellaneous tour instagram photos
i don't even know where to start.
SXSW was amazing. all 4 shows were just wonderful. i'm gonna spare the details as they are what you'd imagine "…aw yeah and then we played here and it was cool and we played here and it was cool and blah blah was super sick and we saw blah which was sick.."
we drove through texas (waco included) listened to most of an audiobook of 1984.
memphis show at hi-tone was a little strange. some cool dudes from nashville drove out though which was rad. a nice man gave us a nice bag of weed.
stayed in a motel 6 in west memphis and definitely had that west memphis 3 eeriness in the air.
got to Indianapolis where we played an amazing house show at mediumship (at least that's what i'm told it's called) but it had the best sound i've ever heard in a house venue.
got into chicago a bit early so we spent most of the day in the suburbs at heather's mom's place. i went skating with her 6 and 8 year old sister and brother around the neighborhood, we had bbq chicken, drank beers, you know…stuff of that nature before we played The Burlington in chicago with RUNNING!
my first time in chicago was unbelievable as the weather had record high's and it was nearly 80 degrees at night. we had a day off and got drunk at brunch with the dudes from heavy times/bad drugs/running at the handlebar.
from chicago we headed west to Omaha. Johnny who plays bass in digital leather took us to a good bbq place and then to a taco/burger/fried fish n shit? Don and Millies it's called? well we all pounded 99 cent margaritas!
finally got to O'Leavers in Omaha where we found out we were the only band playing that night and simultaneously got completely trashed thanks to the lovely friends and locals. we played the sloppiest set ever. took an intermission, covered(?) manson's beautiful people with guest singers, i tried to pull off my solo crying by roy orbison cover again and it did NOT go over as well as it did at burger records.
sprained my ankle later that night just walking, got all mad at myself and slept in the van. apologized to everyone who was trying to be nice the night before when i was angry and difficult.
drove to Wyoming. it was fairly boring driving through Iowa but it had it's moments. arrived at the 3rd Street Cowboy bar with questionable thoughts of the establishment. it was a friday night and there were 4 bands…i do not remember any of their names…sorry…that one metal band was sick? anyway, i went out after the show to a couple "after parties" and got the "Larime experience" which was literally driving from one house to the other where the same people from the bar were there enjoying themselves.
we hung out in Larime for several hours the next day, taking some space from each other. heather got some good cheap finds from a thrift store.
we decided to break up the drive to boise so we reached Ogden, Utah and booked ourselves a stay in the holiday inn express. it actually kicked ass. 2 twins and a pullout couch and a pool/spa that was open 24 hours! and it had a kick-ass continental breakfast, i even did 20 minutes on the 'ol stationary bike in the gym they had.
finally hit the road to Boise for the treefort music festival. i guess it was there first time doing it but seemed like everyone was in great spirits. i really wished we had more time during the other 3 days to enjoy some more music. looked like they had some interesting acts from everywhere.
checked out Art Fad as friends of mine said they were a must see and holy shit, i totally dug it. they're local so the crowd of 30+ we're all just ON the stage. i was impressed they could play through the mass of people trying to scream along to their last song.
at this point we were all kind of beat, and the fact we had a killer hotel room a stones throw away from the venue kind of made us hermits until we actually had to load in. the show was fun and hung out at someone else's room and by that time i just remember screaming Eno's needle in the camel's eye.
i took first shift for the drive from Boise to Portland and HOLY FUCK that was the most beautiful drive i've ever done. highway 84 on the west coast is unbelievable!
made great time too, hung out at the know. watched Hot Victory completely dominate and as a 2 piece this time with insane synth triggers so they could still both play drums the whole time and man…just check them out, watch a video or something they're phenomenal.
Lozen was heavy as fuck and it's one of those "how the fuck is this only 2 people" kind of bands. can't wait to play with them in their hometown of Tacoma later tonight.
we stayed at our good friend Matt Morgan's girlfriend, Cat's house. it's the cutest house and she built an incredible cabin in the backyard with an iron fireplace and we hung out until standing up was impossible.
that's it so far. 3 more shows…and then we finally go home. i'm really homesick and i know the other 2 are as they're in relationships. i'm also kind of brain dead and might have to add some shit later because i know i'm missing many "important" details.
okay smell ya later
okay! Phoenix show was cool. Hether did a backwards somersault during a solo as part of a friendly frontman competition with Mark Tester from Burnt Ones.
Amy from Burnt Ones lent me some books she wrote in Elementary school and here are some of my favorite quotes.
in the story Kittens,she opens the book with "I know pretty much about kittens" which is a strong start to a wonderful true story of her cats she helped raise as a child.
my favorite book however, is a book entitled The ABC's of the Titanic which is dark and cryptic as fuck. here are some quotes.
"K is for Killed which most of the people on the Titanic got."
"W is for Well Trained which the crew was not"
"X is for 'X-Clusive' rooms"
"Z is for Zillions of people who died on the titanic"…yeah she went with Zillions and i think the book itself is fantastic.
We played the Trainyard venue in Las Cruces NM and despite a small turnout, it was still fun as every time we see Burnt Ones we love them more and more. Blasted Canyons are Burnt Ones biggest fans and ever since we split after breakfast yesterday morning, we've missed them immensely.
after the show we hit the road at around 1:30 a.m. and drove the 10+ hours all through the night to Austin. we arrived around noon or 1 and took naps before our show at this wood Mill. I don't recall the name of the venue but it was giant.
Magnetix was sick. K-Holes we're fucking fantastic. we played one of our best shows yet which was great as we played right before Thee Oh Sees. the sound was good at the venue and our re-worked setlist seemed to flow real well.
Thee Oh Sees played in front of less people than i'm used to which was a treat to say the least. i sat on the side-stage and watched the whole set from there and they sounded awesome as usual. man those guys are on some next level shit.
The Mallard played later and we stuck around for that. it was cool to see them in Austin as their debut record was just released and people were hyped to see them in action. they played great, love those guys.
i feel like i'm leaving out some great stuff but as you can imagine or if you're here you know it's very busy.
today we play the And So SXSW Showcase here's the link http://www.facebook.com/events/100257953429697/ and this, the Gent Bent Showcase http://www.facebook.com/events/348470511840667/
follow me (finken) on instagram username: adamfinken
okay so far so awesome. the LA show at Pehrspace was insane. kids we're getting rowdy. girls were punching each other. heather threw a bottle at a dude.
the next day we went to KXLU and while Robert from KXLU was setting up the sound, Matt told Heather she looked like Twiggy from Marilyn Manson's band and 15 minutes later after our tour photographer Rob Williamson continued to push us we recorded a basically improvised cover of "Beautiful People"…that actually happened.
went to Burger Records that evening and thinking no one was gonna show up we pulled a family band collaboration and Heather played drums alongside Amy and I(Adam) played additional guitar and we played under the moniker Blasted Ones.
we went to my parents house and my mom made spaghetti and the next day we went to my old skatepark and hung out at my parents house and relaxed all day.
got to san diego early last night for the show with Burnt Ones and Grass Widow and although the show was sort of empty when we started, we played well and filled out the place by the time we ended.
woke up on someones floor, hit the road. i'm now writing this poolside in Tempe while the sun sets and everyone's casually conversing while drinking ice cold pbr bottles and we're back to work in a couple of hours playing at the Meat Market.
we're out of the bay. stocked with jerky.
TOUR FLYER and T-SHIRTS! by the incredible William Keihn.

Power Systems
FuelCell Energy Wins US Navy UUV Contract
FuelCell Energy Inc. awarded US$3.8-million contract by U.S. Navy to develop power system for unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV). FuelCell Energy, Inc., a leading manufacturer of fuel cell power plants, announce a US$3.8-million contract award from the U.S. Navy to develop and test a Hybrid Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC)-Battery power system for large displacement undersea vehicle propulsion. The objective of the project is to develop a refuelable power system, with high energy density, that is suitable for undertaking long duration underwater missions of unmanned submersibles. The Hybrid SOFC-Battery system will be capable of generating 1,800 kilowatt hours of electricity during a 70 day mission with no exhaust discharged outside of the vehicle at any time. It will use liquid fuel and be self-contained with no reliance on external air. The FuelCell Energy Hybrid SOFC-Battery power system is attractive for underwater vehicle applications as its high efficiency minimizes usage of both stored fuel and oxygen in the confined spaces available onboard the vehicle. The system achieves air independence by utilizing a unique oxygen storage technology, maintains neutral buoyancy with no discharge of system products and is capable of responding to the peak power demands for a typical Large Displacement Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (LDUUV) as defined by the U.S. Navy.

What's Broadband?
Broadband is extreme high speed Internet. The average Internet speed within the USA today is 17 Mbps.
The average speed within Asia is over 100 Mbps.
Why the difference? Many reasons are present which can help explain the large gap in speeds:
- Costs associated with build out of fiber optic networks. These costs include labor, rights-of-way, permitting, properties for the main office, etc.
- Many rural area leaders are hesitant in allowing new services within their areas due to the perception that their established revenue base from FCC Franchise fees will be lost.
- Confusion or lack of knowledge in regards to the benefits such services can bring to an area.
- Capital Costs- The equipment needed can bring an extreme high cost if the project leaders are unaware of the many vendors which offer their products at a much lower cost per subscriber than the Top 3 manufacturers.
What you can do..
Many rural areas and towns have created 'citizens groups' to gather information and knowledge as to the many ways to achieve fiber optic network capabilities within their region.
Creating the following can help greatly in realizing the reality of a fiber optic network for your area:
- Task Force
- Project Plan
- Build relationships with Tier 1 Internet providers
- Explore what other successful towns/areas have done to achieve their goals
- Equipment modeling
- A non-profit company when moving forward
