Fedora Hats
Fedora hats were born in the late 1800's, as a fashion accessory to depict the upper-class. Early in the 20th century, the fedora hat really grew in popularity; eventually surpassing the then admired Homburg Hat as the signature men's hat of the times.

The man accused in a fatal hit and run that killed 30-year-old Youngsville cyclist Lon Lomas is out of jail on bond - a bond the victim's family says was set far too low.
Troopers arrested Fitzpatrick Doucette, 42, of Kaplan, Sunday night on charges of negligent homicide, felony hit and run, driving under suspension and limitations on passing bicycles.
He was released from the Lafayette Parish Jail Tuesday night on a $10,000 bond.
Lomas was killed on July 7 as he was riding his bicycle along La. Highway 92 near Mermentau Road. His body was found in a ditch.
Lomas' father, Anthony, and Lomas' uncle, Mike Deriso, said they want answers as to why Doucet was able to bond out of jail, especially knowing now that the cause of death for Lomas was drowning.
"He may have been saved had the driver stopped to investigate what he hit," Deriso said. "Why he didn't do it is beyond me. Fear? But my best guess is that he was driving under suspension when he left the house. He was breaking the law when he left home."
Troopers said the incident happened sometime before 7 a.m., but they could not confirm if it was still dark when Lomas was hit.
"Shortly after the crash, troopers received information from Kaplan police that a male subject arrived at their police department with a damaged vehicle," State Police Master Trooper Brooks David said.
David said it was still morning when Doucette went to the Kaplan Police station. But it is unclear whether Doucette realized he actually hit a cyclist.
Trooper David said Doucette didn't mention any specifics about what he hit, just that he hit something. Investigators took possession of Mr. Doucette's vehicle the morning of the crash, but let him go back home.
"Lon was a very fun-loving, honest person," Anthony Lomas said. "I just hope that he gets his justice."

At Brigham Young University years ago, a bishop said to a bunch of us boys, "If you want a wife who's as true as the North Star, check out the young women who attend 7 a.m. Relief Society."
I never did.
I think I was up well beyond midnight each Saturday night reading the Bible.
But I knew the bishop was on to something.
And I knew it again last week when I dropped in on the little Virgin River Valley Spanish-speaking branch of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mesquite, Nev.
The branch meets at 8 a.m. on Sunday — rain or shine.
And that's after most of the members have spent Saturday night waiting tables and working the swing shifts.
They meet on Arrowhead Lane in the center of town, not far from a half-dozen casinos and just as many bars and clubs.
It's not easy being "as true as the North Star" in Mesquite. Meetings are early. Temptations loom on every corner — literally.
But the Spanish-speaking Saints of Mesquite weather it all and rise to the occasion, like the North Star.
The day I was there, the group numbered about 50 (many were out of town for the holidays).
But the 50 souls I met that day were sterling.
President Ponce, a soft-spoken young man with expressive eyes, read a "military hymn" from the pulpit — about Christian soldiers and all — then he gave the words a turn I'd never heard before.
Being a Christian soldier was not just about defending the faith, he explained.
We must be as dedicated and committed as soldiers in defending our families.
Afterward, he spoke with me at length about the goodness of those early morning souls in his branch.
And I thought again of the day I went out to the Utah State Fairgrounds to hear Gary Snyder, the nature poet, read his verse.
Snyder had just won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry, but he was in Utah on a cold, rainy day. It was also middle of the week. Only about 10 people showed up to hear him.
I told him I was sorry more people hadn't made the effort.
He waved me off.
"Oh, no," he said. "These are the true believers. These are the ones I want to hear me. These are the ones I want to be with."
After my early morning sacrament meeting in Mesquite, I knew exactly what he meant.

text: Some political campaigns can be likened to a big, nasty food fight. Sometimes, the day after an election, an actual fight breaks out inside a place that serves food. It was this tortured comparison that prompted us to open this week's festivities with a story (and video) of a fight inside a Philadelphia McDonald's that featured flying chairs and a woman breaking a broomstick over some poor guy's noggin'.

Would you ditch your car for Uber?
Uber isn't the only ride-sharing service available, but it is the one most drastically pushing for you to get rid of your car. Demonstrating this is the company's latest effort to lure in new users: UberPool, a beta program in San Francisco where users can double-up on rides and get a 40-percent discount as a result. In a blog post yesterday announcing the beta, Uber pointed out reasons besides I need a ride that users might opt for the service, and at the heart of it all was one large notion: that we'd do well in getting rid of our cars.

One of the interesting aspects to the chained CPI story has been how little we've heard from Democrats about it. Not much going on in the ol' RSS reader about Democratic reactions to the idea, so I went ahead and searched to see what top Democrats and key Obama allies had to say about it. The answer, it turns out, is nothing. Harry Reid, who one would figure would be a key figure in making any deal happen, said nothing. No statements of any kind. Max Baucus, another person who one would figure would be key in a grand bargain, also said nothing. One of Obama's closest Senate allies, Claire McCaskill, has similarly kept mum. And Steny Hoyer, #2 House Democrat and one of the biggest grand bargaineers in all of D.C., chose not to mark the event of the President's new budget with any sort of formal remarks. He has, in fact, gone nearly a month without issuing any statement on the subject, which is pretty amazing, and shows the lack of intensity in finding a deal within D.C. but outside of the White House. In fact, just about the only left-leaning senator to chime in so far has been Bernie Sanders. He is, unsurprisingly, not a big fan of Obama's idea.
Now, to be sure, it's easy to read too much into this. And you could argue that these folks quietly support Obama's bargain in concept but don't want to get nailed for saying it publicly. Could be! But I'm not sure that fits best. That might account for, say, Max Baucus, who is up for re-election next year and would be in trouble from both sides if he enthusiastically supported and worked on the project. But not for the others. I mean, Hoyer isn't going to be primaried like ever (though that wouldn't be the worst idea I've ever heard), and it's actually more noticeable that he isn't commending the president for his serious, bracing vision than if he'd put out a pro forma statement that said nothing. Is he afraid the whip job would be imperiled if he gave it a hearty cheer? Or could it be even too far for him? One wonders.
I don't know what it means, but my guess is that the highly vocal intramural resistance to chained CPI has not gone unnoticed by officeholders. My working theory is that there's significant Democratic resistance to this idea, but keeping quiet avoids breaking with the White House over a deal that will most likely never come to pass in any form. This is perhaps why Obama feels the need to go so far to the right with his proposals, as there's not much support on the left for this kind of bargain. Of course, there's not much support for it on the right either. In any event, the pattern is pretty interesting.

Dayton beats Duquesne 72-56
Josh Benson's 17 points led five University of Dayton scorers in double figures as the Flyers defeated Duquesne University 72-56 Saturday.
Trailing 20-13 with 7:48 left in the first half, Dayton (12-7, 2-3 Atlantic 10 Conference) outscored Duquesne 17-4 to take a 30-24 halftime lead. The Flyers then began the second half with an 11-2 run for a 41-26 advantage.
Dayton's Kevin Dillard and Vee Sanford, with fellow guard Khari Price limited to 4 minutes after taking a knee to the thigh, held Duquesne's two leading scorers, Sean Johnson and Derrick Colter, to two points each. Colter was 0-for-11 from the field and Johnson 1-for-6 as the Dukes (7-13, 0-6) lost their eighth consecutive game.
Dyshawn Pierre scored 13 points, while Dillard, Sanford and Jalen Robinson scored 10 each. Devin Oliver had 10 rebounds, his ninth game in double figures this season.
Jeremiah Jones and Quevyn Winters scored 16 points each for Duquesne.

Hypertension means that your blood pressure is constantly higher than the recommended level. High blood pressure is not usually something that you can feel or notice, but over time if it is not treated, your heart may become enlarged making your heart pump less effectively, which could lead to heart failure.
Obesity means having too much body fat. It is different from being overweight, which means weighing too much. The weight may come from muscle, bone, fat, and/or body water. Both terms mean that a person's weight is greater than what's considered healthy for his or her height.
Acquired lipid disorders is a group of disorders characterized by an excess of fatty substances, such as cholesterol, triglycerides, and lipoproteins present in the blood.

I'm over at SFSignal today, reviewing Steven Brust's newest Vlad Taltos novel, Hawk. This is the 14th book in the series, but a surprisingly good spot for new fans to jump right in. Still on the fence? Click here for a review I wrote a while back for The Book of Jhereg, which is comprised of the first 3 short novels of the series.
Even though Vlad spends most of the book saying "hello" to people, the entire novel has an undeniable underlying fatalism, an inescapable feeling that he's really returned to Adrilankha to say "goodbye". Vlad isn't stupid. He knows there's a chance he's not going to make it to the end of the book. A really good chance.
Fatalism aside, Hawk allows me to say something I haven't been able to say about this series in ages: For readers brand new to the Vlad Taltos series, this is an excellent place to jump right in and get a feel for Brust's wry writing style, the way he does world building and characterization, and everyone's favorite sarcastic semi-retired assassin, Vlad Taltos.

- In: Ellen Datlow | interviews
- 4 Comments
I've been lucky enough to interview some pretty cool people over the years. But Ellen Datlow takes "pretty cool" to a whole new level. An editor of short fiction for nearly thirty years, Ellen holds four Hugo awards, ten World Fantasy awards, five Locus awards, three Bram Stoker awards, and I'll stop there even though I could happily continue to list her achievements for the next hours or so. She's co-edited twenty one Year's Best Fantasy and Horror volumes, edited six Best Horror of the Year volumes (through Nightshade Books), and most recently was the editor for Lovecraft's Monsters and The Cutting Room for Tachyon.
To say she is a rock star of the industry is quite the understatement.
Last weekend at the World Fantasy Convention, Ellen Datlow was awarded the prestigious Lifetime Achievement award, along with Chelsea Quinn Yarbro.
I was first introduced to her work through one of many anthologies she co-edited with Terri Windling, Snow White, Blood Red, which has since become a beloved paperback on my bookshelf. That collection would become the first in a series of six, and many of them recently become available as e-books through Open Road Media. If you are interested in fairy tale retellings, dark fantasy, or the short fiction of acclaimed authors such as Joyce Carol Oates, Jane Yolen, Neil Gaiman, Tanith Lee, Charles deLint, Gene Wolfe, Storm Constantine and many others, this is an anthology series you should consider.
Ellen was kind enough to answer a few of my questions on her lifetime in the field and the joys and challenges of putting anthologies together. Let's get to the interview!
LRR: I remember reading Snow White, Blood Red in the late 90s, it was a collection my soon-to-be husband and I bonded over. That was your first Fairy Tale anthology with Terri Windling, and it would become a series of six anthologies. When you start a new anthology, how do you know it will be a "one of", such as Queen Victoria's Book of Spells or a series, like the Fairy Tale or Best Horror of the Year volumes?
ED: That's really lovely to hear!
One rarely knows in advance if an anthology will sell well enough for the publisher to offer a contract for a second, although for a year's best one always hopes it will become a series as that's its purpose. Snow White, Blood Red was intended to be a one-shot but it did well enough that our editor commissioned another (or two that time). I don't think we ever got more than a two-book contract at a time for what became a six book series. It just ended up that way. And by the time the sixth came out the publisher had changed hands (possibly twice) and I was burned out on retold fairy tales — for a time.
This interview is part of SciFi November, hosted by Rinn Reads and Oh The Books!
A friend of mine had been recommending Julie Czerneda's science fiction to me for a while, and last year I finally picked up the first book in her Species Imperative series, Survival. In a word, that novel was phenomenal. Strong characters, fascinating and freaky aliens, politics, intrigue, and even better, it was a scifi book based on biology (instead of physics, which seems to be a standard. Nothing against physics, but biology is damn cool!). The main character of Survival, Dr. Mackenzie Connor, leaps of the page and pulls you right back in with her. She's a biologist, what could she possibly have to do with saving trillions of lives so far away from planet Earth? Here's a link to my review of Survival, and a link to my review of the second book in the series, Migration. Stay tuned for a review later this month of the third book in the series, Regeneration!
After discovering Julie's older science fiction titles, you can imagine how thrilled I was to learn she has a brand new fantasy series out, called the Night's Edge series. The first book, A Turn of Light (click here to read an excerpt), came out last year and won the Prix Aurora Award for best English novel of the year. The second book in the series, A Play of Shadow comes out today! (Scroll to the bottom of this article to enter in the give away for a free copy!) Learn more about Julie Czerneda by checking out her website, and by following her on twitter at @julieczerneda
Enough squeeing from me, let's get to the interview!
LRR: The same weekend you won the Prix Aurora Award, you were a special guest at CanCon in Ottawa. Wow, what a weekend! As an author, what's the most fun part of attending conventions? What's been your favorite convention that you attended? Any tips for folks who are new to the convention scene?
JC: It was a busy few days, that's for sure, and happy!
The most fun? Meeting readers. To see eyes light up, to have someone mention a story or character they loved? It's better than chocolate for the soul, believe me. I store those moments to think of when writing.
The Scroll of Years by Chris Willrich
published in 2013
where I got it: purchased new
On the run for murder, the thief Imago Bone and his poet wife Persimmon Gaunt find themselves halfway across the planet. They keep their heads down in the country of Qiangguo, in hopes the Night Auditors won't be able to follow their trail. They need some friends, and fast, as Gaunt will be giving birth to their son any day now. If they'd just stop running long enough to see that maybe there's something bigger happening around them….
The parts of The Scroll of Years had so much potential – a scroll you can fall into, the political complications of a royal heir who is a foreigner, creeptastically cool villains, a parallel world where time flows differently, interesting characters, fun world building. With all those fantastic pieces to work with, it's unfortunate that the plotting and characters never came together in a coherent enough fashion for me to really get invested in the story.
Let's talk about the good parts first.

Bridge of Birds by Barry Hughart
published in 1984
where I got it: purchased new
In a rural village in the shadow of the Tang dynasty, the parents are all weeping.
They weep because their children lie dying from a mysterious illness. A matriarch of the village gives her life savings to their strongest young man, Number Ten Ox, and tells him to go to the city and purchase the services of a wise Sage, for certainly a learned man can divine the reason for the children's plague and help develop a cure. Number Ten Ox is soon to discover that a peasants fortune doesn't go very far in the city. However, he returns with Master Li Kao, who is able to understand how the children became sick, and give instructions regarding the herbs needed to cure them. Knowing what they need, the elderly Master Li climbs onto the back of Number Ten Ox, and across China they go.
They rather quickly find the first portion of the cure, and set out immediately for the rest. One clue leads to another, each adventure feeding into the next. Stealing money (to fund their quest, of course) from a corrupt business owner leads to tricking a dowager, which eventually leads to the most expensive woman in the world, which leads to visions of pleading ghosts lead which lead to phantom paintings on mountain tops which lead to heartless men, which lead to following a dragon through hell and back. Which leads to Master Li asking the all important question of why do children play the games they play? And through it all, they keep running into people they've met before in a curious pattern.

UK Publish date: Sept 4 2014
US Publish date: March 5 2015
where I got it: received review copy from the publisher (Thanks Jo Fletcher books!)
In the center of a never ending plain of machinery, abandoned factories, destroyed buildings, swamps, snails, and desperation lies the Pyramid. And within the Pyramid lies civilization. Alan grew up in the Pyramid, but he wasn't born there. He still burns with the pain and hatred of watching Pyramidders kill his family and destroy the village in which they lived. His life was spared that day, and he was taken to live in the Pyramid, to be educated and trained, and eventually take up a station, to get married, and to have a child of his own. But Alan never forgot what happened to him. Forced to watch his son be indoctrinated into the beliefs of the Pyramid, Alan begins to educate the boy on what life is really like outside, out in the discard. But the Pyramid will not suffer opinions and beliefs other than their own, Alan's family is terrorized and he is banished, to survive if he can, back in the discard.
At a breakneck pace, Tom Fletcher zips us through Alan's failing marriage and the challenges of being married to a born Pyramidder, and how he'll do anything to see his son once he's been kicked out of the Pyramid. He bribes guards with drugs and information, and hopes one day to rescue his son and wife from the lies and brainwashing of the Pyramid. But rescue them to what? He knows his wife wouldn't want to life in the Discard, no matter how safe parts of it is, so what is he rescuing them from, and where would he take them if he was successful?

When I peruse the graphic novel section of my local comic shop, I'm not interested in 99% of what I see. I walk by, and very little of it catches my eye. No offense superheroes and dark noir, but you're just not my thing. Could be that local comic book owner guy is really into superhero stuff, and not so much into other stuff. Different strokes for different folks.
Lucky for me, I ran into a copy of Ursula Vernon's Digger Vol 1 at a Half Price Books store. Having no idea what the story was about, and not quite sure what the critter on the front cover was (She's a wombat, by the way), I bought the graphic novel because Ursula Vernon's name was on it.
A few quick items of business before I getting into the nitty gritty: It won the Hugo (and multiple other awards) for a reason, and I really gotta introduce local comic shop owner guy to this series. Graphic novels that don't look that interesting got you down? Digger is the cure.
First off, Digger isn't a what, Digger is a she. She's a wombat, and she does what wombats naturally do: She digs and burrows and explores. She's also intensely pragmatic and practical. When a pocket of bad air causes her to tunnel through someone's floor and into a space that is decidedly not home, she decided to explore. Because how else is she going to find her way home? Perhaps whoever she meets can help her find her way home. She quickly meets a Statue of Ganesh who can talk, a Hyena like creature whose name has been eaten, a shadowchild who doesn't know what he/she is, a helpful librarian, the Ganesh statue's overly enthusiastic guard, and a prophetic snail. The story almost has an Alice in Wonderland feeling, except this Alice is a practical, no-nonsense engineer Wombat.

Recipe of the Day
Dog Food Dip
This dip recipe was given to me by a co-worker some 15 or more years ago. She made it for potlucks at work, and it was always gone from the nurse's station before the rest of the food was put out! It's a simple mixture of beef and cheese, but it should always be made a day in advance to allow the flavors to blend. Serve with your favorite corn chips.

Understanding the Syrian Puzzle: A Conversation with Father Paolo Dall'Oglio
On August 6, 2012, IPI hosted a roundtable discussion entitled "Understanding the Syrian Puzzle," featuring Father Paolo Dall'Oglio, an Italian Jesuit priest who spent 30 years in Syria promoting inter-religious understanding and dialogue. This off-the-record conversation brought together over 40 participants drawn from the UN and diplomatic community in New York, including officials from member states, UN agencies, NGOs, and think tanks.
In Syria, where he lived since the early 1980s, Father Paolo led the restoration of a 1,000 year old Byzantine monastery—known as the Mar Musa monastery—that stands today as a spiritual and physical meeting point between Muslims and Christians. Father Paolo was expelled by the Syrian government in June 2012 for supporting pro-democracy protestors in the country, including by addressing in May 2012 an open letter to Kofi Annan, the then UN-Arab League Special Envoy for the Syrian crisis, calling for greater international involvement.
This interactive discussion focused on the current situation in Syria and prospects for the future, building on Father Paolo's unique on-the-ground insights and in-depth knowledge of the dynamics at play in the country. The participants explored in particular the role of minorities in the conflict and the prospects for interfaith dialogue, and engaged Father Paolo about the political future of Syria and the potential for democracy in the country.
The event was moderated by Ambassador Maureen Quinn, IPI Senior Adviser, and was convened under the Chatham House rule of non-attribution.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 11/15/14
Recap Mets are just spoiling us with all this offense including the homeruns. Ike Davis with a three-run homerun to break the game open, and after Jason Bay robbed the Braves of a homerun, hit one himself deep in center field for a solo shot and an insurance run. Broken fingers seem to be helping the Mets. Dillon Gee had a great start this afternoon allowing only one run on four hits in seven innings pitched. He walked one and struck out five including two huge strikeouts to end the seventh. He had his stuff working tonight with his pitches moving well and keeping it low in the zone. He kept from repeating his sequence of pitches which kept the batters off guard. He said facing the Braves so many times last year has helped him learn about batters swings, when they are aggressive, and what pitches they like. I'm still not hundred percent confident in him, but you can tell he's learning and learning quick. We might just have something in Dillon Gee. Jon Rauch and Tim Byrdak combine fo...

The Real North Korea
Life and Politics in the Failed Stalinist Utopia

moreAndrei Lankov has gone where few outsiders have ever been. A native of the former Soviet Union, he lived as an exchange student in North Korea in the 1980s. He has studied it for his entire career, using his fluency in Korean and personal contacts to build a rich, nuanced understanding. In The Real North Korea, Lankov substitutes cold, clear analysis for the overheated rhetoric surrounding this opaque police state. After providing an accessible history of the nation, he turns his focus to what North Korea is, what its leadership thinks, and how its people cope with living in such an oppressive and poor place. He argues that North Korea is not irrational, and nothing shows this better than its continuing survival against all odds. A living political fossil, it clings to existence in the face of limited resources and a zombie economy, manipulating great powers despite its weakness. Its leaders are not ideological zealots or madmen, but perhaps the best practitioners of Machiavellian politics that can be found in the modern world. Even though they preside over a failed state, they have successfully used diplomacy-including nuclear threats-to extract support from other nations. But while the people in charge have been ruthless and successful in holding on to power, Lankov goes on to argue that this cannot continue forever, since the old system is slowly falling apart. In the long run, with or without reform, the regime is unsustainable. Lankov contends that reforms, if attempted, will trigger a dramatic implosion of the regime. They will not prolong its existence. Based on vast expertise, this book reveals how average North Koreans live, how their leaders rule, and how both survive. less

An Amazing Fact: "Road Rage" is a term that defines an alarming new phenomenon in North America. Angry motorists shoot and kill or deliberately crash their cars into drivers whom they feel have performed some inconsiderate maneuver. This growing problem is so real that the Automobile Association of America is running a series of TV adds to teach drivers how to keep their cool and avoid becoming a victim.
A young mother began studying the Scriptures and believing the Bible truth. Her live-in boyfriend was infuriated because she insisted that they either get married or separate. One evening as she was nailing a copy of the Ten Commandments up on the wall, he suddenly became so enraged that he grabbed the hammer out of her hand and began to bludgeon her with it. When he thought he had killed her, he then went into the next room and killed their 10-month-old baby.
An Amazing Fact: When a hawk is attacked by crows or kingbirds, instead of waging a counterattack, it will circle higher and higher until it is soaring above the altitude range of its tormentors.
During the Gulf War, Iraqi soldiers were forced to make what was later called "the mother of all surrenders." However, it was not because the troops were poorly armed. In fact, the Iraqis had many highly sophisticated weapons that had been purchased from the former U.S.S.R. Their problem was that the soldiers had never been properly trained to use the weapons in battle, so they finally threw their hands in the air and surrendered.
In the same way, many Christians are frequently overcome by temptation because they have never been taught to use God's resources to fight the enemy. The Bible says, "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." Psalm 119:11. The Word of God is the most commonly neglected resource in resisting the clamoring of the lower nature. Discovering how to resist evil temptation through claiming the power of God in Scripture has been one of the most valuable things I have learned since becoming a Christian.
An Amazing Fact: In order to draw attention to world peace, in 1973 Patrice Tamao of the Dominican Republic allowed himself to be crucified as thousands watched on TV. Tamao had three six-inch stainless steel nails driven through his hands and feet and intended to stay on the cross for 48 hours. However, after 20 hours he requested to be taken down because he had developed an infection.
Jesus told His disciples, "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." Luke 9:23. Later the apostle Paul repeated this theme. "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20.
From the time of Christ's sacrifice to the present, many have sought to show their devotion to Jesus, secure their own forgiveness, or make some public statement by actually having themselves crucified.
The Bible is a book depicting countless battles. From Genesis to Revelation, its pages reveal that there are both physical and spiritual wars raging. Physical wars have dominated history from the time Cain killed his brother Abel right down to the present day. This should not surprise us, for Jesus predicted, "And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. ... For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom." Matthew 24:6, 7.
However, the primary focus of the Scriptures is the story of the ongoing conflict between Christ and Satan. We are told in Revelation that what began as a cosmic war in heaven will soon end in Armageddon. In this showdown between the forces of good and the powers of evil, light and truth is under constant attack from deception and darkness.
Of all the analogies used in God's Word to describe the church, the one that is most vivid and inspiring is the symbol of the human body. In the New Testament, the church is repeatedly described as the body of Christ. "Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular."1 Corinthians 12:27. Perhaps this is because it is made up of so many diverse parts that work together in harmony as one unit. Or perhaps it is because the same God who created our physical bodies also designed the church.
Yet for some reason it is becoming more and more common for Christians to amputate themselves from the body of Christ.
An Amazing Fact: The Empire State Building in New York City, which was completed in 1931, was known for many years as the tallest building in the world. It is 1,250 feet tall and boasts 102 stories of office space. Several structures in the United States and in Asia now surpass the Empire State Building in height, yet many of the records that were set during its construction have never been broken. For example, because the building was made of prefabricated blocks, it was completed in less than two years. In fact, one 14-floor section was erected in less than a week!
The first time the word "kingdom" is mentioned in the Bible is in connection with Babel (Genesis 10:8-10). The founder of this ancient city was Nimrod, a man whose very name means "we shall rebel." Throughout the Scriptures, Babel-which is also the Hebrew word for "Babylon"-becomes a symbol of rebellion to God.
The preacher urged sinners to give themselves to Jesus, inviting them to the altar, where peace could be found. As they came, he praised God and asked them to repeat after him a simple prayer of about six sentences. Then he congratulated them with the words: "Now you are saved, and from this moment on, your destiny is eternally secure. Nothing you might do can ever reverse the decision you have made today; nothing can cause you to lose your eternal life." Then he pulled a key out of his pocket and handcuffed the right hand of each person to the altar. They were locked into the choice they had made and could not reverse it.
Although it is very unlikely that such a thing would ever actually happen in church, yet some have understood it to be an accurate representation of what happens when a sinner accepts Christ. In fact, a controversy has long been raging in Christianity over this very subject. Some teach that once a person has a conversion experience, his destiny is eternally secure, no matter what happens afterward. Others maintain that assurance of salvation is a byproduct of a saving relationship with Jesus, and that salvation can be lost if that relationship is broken-not by God's choice, but by the free choice of the individual himself.
A Protestant missionary who worked among the natives in the South Pacific for several years decided to return to the United States for a nine-month furlough. During this time, he planned to visit several churches and raise funds for their island mission. Before leaving the South Pacific, this missionary persuaded a local chief, who had converted to Christianity, to join him on his trip. This tall chief had an imposing presence with a dark, muscular body that was offset by his broad, pearly white smile. The missionary knew that a living trophy of their mission efforts would greatly impress the church members in North America to give more generously.
Excited about an opportunity to see the famous USA, the robust king agreed to go with his pastor friend to the mainland. When they arrived, the missionary took the chief from church to church.
A mother was making coleslaw in her kitchen, and her little boy was just big enough to want everything and to be into everything. This was before the invention of modern food processors, so she was chopping the cabbage with a butcher knife on her kitchen counter. Pretty soon the little 2-year-old saw that knife with the black handle and long, shiny blade. He didn't know what it was, but he wanted it desperately. He kept asking his mother for it and reaching out, so she kept pushing him back with her elbow and moving the cabbage farther back on the deck.
Then the phone rang. It was one of the woman's dear friends, so they got into an animated conversation. In her haste to answer the phone, the mother had accidentally laid that knife down right on the edge of the counter. The little boy looked at it and said to himself, "I think I could reach that." So he got on his tip toes, reached up, and got it. Then he sat down in the middle of the floor, thinking, "I can't believe I have this thing-whatever it is." Just about that time, the boy's mother turned and saw him with that knife. She screamed and ran across the room, grabbing the knife out of his chubby hands. Then he really began to make an earnest appeal for the knife.

Homeless Youth Accepts Miley Cyrus's Award At MTV VMA 2014
Feel Good Video Of The Day
Last night Miley Cyrus won Video of the Year for her video 'Wrecking Ball' at the 2014 MTV VMAs. Rather than accept the award herself, however, she had her date, a homeless youth named Jesse, accept the award on her behalf. Miley posted a pic of the two on her Instagram page (which is the main pic above). Jesse directed fans to Miley's Facebook page, where the top post has a video of Miley raising funds for My Friend's Place. RELATED: Give Back Films hosts a BBQ for the homeless.
