75th Diamond Anniversary Greetings to the Lutheran Church of Nigeria
Sep 7th
Posted by Al Collver in Al's Posts
This week the Lutheran Church of Nigeria (LCN) celebrates their Diamond Jubilee (75th Anniversary). Nigeria was one of the first mission efforts of the Missouri Synod after India, Brazil, and Argentina. The Lutheran Church of Nigeria began with 16 congregations in 1936 and now has 339 congregations in 38 districts. President Ekong invited President Harrison to send the keynote address for their anniversary. Later this week, we will post the address.
As part of our Life Together with our sister church in Nigeria, we give thanks for the LCN's 75th anniversary. We are called to remember them in prayer, thanking the Lord for their faithful confession and witness to the Gospel of Jesus in Nigeria, and praying for their needs. Below is President Harrison's video greeting to the Lutheran Church of Nigeria.
— Rev. Dr. Albert B. Collver, Director of Church Relations
Featured Missionary — Rev. Alan Ludwig
Sep 3rd
Posted by Al Collver in Al's Posts
The Lutheran church has a tremendous missionary heritage. President Emeritus Pfotenhauer said in 1937, "Here and there it is asserted that Luther and the Lutheran Church of his time neglected missions. What a foolish notion. Luther is, after the apostles, the greatest missionary… Luther in his day filled all Europe to the threshold of Asia with the Gospel. Lutheran preachers carried the Gospel into many lands, and some sealed their message with martyr's blood." (At Home In The House Of My Fathers, 804.) The Missouri Synod has had a tremendous heritage in missions also, both in home mission and world mission. Up until the end of the 19th Century, the Missouri Synod focused on home mission — among Native Americans, immigrants, and African Americans. At the end of the 19th Century, the Missouri Synod began mission work in India, Brazil, Argentina, and China. By the middle of the 20th Century, the MIssouri Synod expanded into Asia — Papua New Guinea, Japan, South Korea, and so on. At its peak, the Missouri Synod had several hundred missionaries overseas at any given time. Times have changed, new opportunities present themselves, former mission efforts lead to the formation of partner churches, and the number of missionaries changes. What doesn't change is the challenge of finding and funding missionaries to go overseas.
In 1895, District President Pfotenhauer in a sermon titled, "Dig Wells and Keep Them Pure," noted the great need for missionaries in India and China with more than 500 million people. He noted because the Synod did not have an immediate need for pastors (there wasn't a shortage of pastors), there was a shortage of missionaries. He writes, "Every communicant member of our Synod throws an average of only 20 cents into the treasury for missions, for the digging of wells in the mission field." (At Home In the House of My Fathers, 711.) Keep in mind that there is not an exact parallel between how missions were accounted for at the beginning of the 20th Century and today at the beginning of the 21st Century. What is parallel is the challenge in funding missionaries.
Today, the funding of international missionaries in the LCMS is handled primarily through a program called Network-Supported Missionary (NSM), where each missionary intentionally works with a body of supporters, including individuals, congregations, and organizations, before and during field deployment. So while the missionary is not technically "self-funded" as the missionary has an entire support network based at the International Center (including pension, health insurance, travel support, housing support, human resources, IT support, et. al.), there is a greater responsibility placed on the missionary to assist in the raising of support for the mission work. While there are advantageous and disadvantageous to this method of support, after many years of having fewer missionaries on the field, it has allowed the LCMS to increase the number of missionaries over the past few years.
With that brief introduction to missionary funding in the Missouri Synod, we wanted to take the opportunity to draw attention to a particular missionary who has specific needs at a given moment. In the future, we hope regularly to feature different missionaries. Today, we would like to feature Rev. Alan Ludwig, who received a call from the Board for International Mission in June 2011 to serve in Russia. We have a goal of getting Rev. Ludwig to Russia by October 2011. Time is short to meet this goal. Thank you for this opportunity to introduce Rev. Alan Ludwig to you.
(Provide Missionary Support for Rev. Ludwig)
Rev. Alan Ludwig serves the Lord through The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod in Siberia, Russia. He is a theological educator, which includes teaching seminary courses, working with team members in developing theological education in Russia and other republics of the former Soviet Union and, upon request, teaching and preaching at a local Lutheran congregation in the city of Novosibirsk in Siberia. Since 1998, Alan has worked with the Siberian Evangelical Lutheran Church (SELC) and taught seminary courses at Lutheran Theological Seminary in Novosibirsk, which is operated by the SELC, a partner/sister church of the LCMS. The seminary was founded in 1997.
Alan graduated from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, in 1989 with an M.Div., and earned an S.T.M. in 1992. From 1992-98, Alan served as the pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church, Cresbard, S.D., and Immanuel Lutheran Church, Wecota, S.D. Alan also served on the staff of LOGIA, a Lutheran theological journal. Prior to attending seminary, Alan graduated from Boise State University with a Bachelor of Music and worked as a private music teacher. His hobbies include music, art, poetry, literature, computers and walking.
Please pray for Alan as he serves in this capacity. He asks, "Pray that my wife, Patricia, and I would adjust to the new roles God has given us, and for me, that I may faithfully fulfill my call to serve the church in Siberia. We desire prayers for the SELC: for the bishop, the pastors and the deacons—that the Lord keep them faithful in preaching the Word and administering the Sacraments; for the laity—that they grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Son of God; for the continued spread of the Gospel throughout the vast territory of Siberia. Finally, we request prayers for our seminarians—that they be molded by the Word of God into faithful and worthy candidates for the holy ministry, and that our seminary rector would be sustained in his demanding role."
— Rev. Dr. Albert Collver, Director of Church Relations

LHF Visits LCMS International Center
Aug 31st
Posted by Al Collver in Al's Posts
Today, Rev. James Fandrey, Executive Director of Lutheran Heritage Foundation, and Rev. Walter Otten, Chairman of the Lutheran Heritage Foundation Board, visited the LCMS International Center. They presented President Harrison and some of his staff with a translation of the Book of Concord into Swahili. This project has been in the works for some 15 years and was begun and was a significant focus of Dr. Anssi Simojoki's work in Africa. This is a great accomplishment and will be of potential service to the 100 million Swahili speakers worldwide.
This is a fine example of the synergy between the LCMS and LCMS Recognized Service Organizations (RSO). RSOs according to the Synod's bylaws "fosters the mission and ministry of the church, engages in program activity that is in harmony with the programs of the boards of the Synod, and respects and does not act contrary to the doctrine and practice of the Synod." (LCMS Handbook 2010, Section 6.2.1, page 204) The production of the Book of Concord in Swahili complements the work of the LCMS, LCMS missionaries, LCMS partner churches and even non-partner churches such as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania (ELCT). LHF has translated Lutheran materials into nearly 100 languages in nearly 80 countries. Such works have been of great service to missionaries, professors, and partner churches.
Also discussed were ways that LHF and the LCMS could work together in better ways to maximize the resources of both organizations, which are provided as gifts from the Lord's people. In some ways, this is a follow up to the Global Impact Meeting held at the end of June with the LCMS seminaries, LCMS Mission department, and Lutheran Hour Ministries. The RSOs and Auxiliaries of the LCMS are a great blessing to the church and have tremendous potential to maximize our work and Life Together. These sorts of meetings also provide for the opportunity to discuss areas where better coordination and cooperation can occur and how past and future problems can be avoided in our Life Together. We look forward to more meetings such as this in the future. Thank you Jim and Walter for visiting with us.
–Rev. Dr. Albert B. Collver, Director of Church Relations

I have been trying to put together a family tree. I've come across some Gosnell's which start with William Gosnell being born in 1635 in England and died May 11, 1709. Also have a Maurice, Peter, Charles, William Jr. The next William I show was born in 1660. I have also come across that William (1635) being married to a Sarah Baker. I also are wondering if Sarah Barker and Elizabeth are the same person. I have found that William (1635), father is Peter Gosnell and his mother is Margaret Mary Sherly. If this is true then I have it back John Gosnell marry Marcement Pemberton in 1579 in England.
My grandmother Jesse Ellen Gosnell is the daugthter Robert Sylvester Gosnell and Eliza Baker. If any of this matches what you have please reply back to me at my email address.

We're not married to Henry VIII
Four views on the Catholic Anglican embrace from The Wall Street Journal letters page.
Four views on the Catholic Anglican embrace from The Wall Street Journal letters page.
Oct. 29 is the feast of the Martyrs of Douai, Englishmen who went abroad to study for the priesthood and then returned to England to minister in secret to their fellow Catholics.
"Between 1577, the date of the martyrdom of St Cuthbert Mayne, the college's protomartyr, and 1680, the date of the execution of Thomas Thwing, the college's last martyr, 158 college members, priests and laymen, secular and religious, met with a martyr's death."
To read their names, click here.
For details about the individual martyrs, Edmund Campion, Ralph Sherwin, John Sandys, Southwell the poet, Luke Kirby, Alexander Briant, etc., where they were born, where they studied before going to Douai, what crimes led to their arrest, imprisonment, torture, and execution, where they were hanged, drawn and quartered, etc., click here.

As has become the custom, the two bishops from the cities competing in the World Series have entered a friendly wager on the games.
If the Phillies win, Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York will ship a dozen bagels to the City of Brotherly Love; if the Yankees prevail, Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia will send a case of Tastykakes to the Big Apple, according to a press release from the Philadelphia Archdiocese.
If you don't know what Tastykakes are, you're not missing much. Kind of like Twinkies or Ho Hos. Still, I root for the Phillies, being married to a native Philadelphian and all.
Trying not to be cynical, but wondering if these little human interest stories are specifically designed to make the hierarchy seem, well, more human.
The day the Vatican opened talks with the traditionalist Society of St. Pius X (a.k.a. the Lefebvrites) and scheduled twice-a-month meetings over the coming months, a German court fined one of the society's bishops for his denial of the Holocaust. Reuters reports:
The Bavarian court had Monday approved a request from state prosecutors in Regensburg for the fine but British-born Williamson has two weeks to contest the ruling.
"If he decides not to accept it, there will be a hearing," said the court spokesman, adding there was as yet no indication of Williamson's intentions.
Denying the Holocaust is classified as a hate crime in Germany.
Stephen Colbert gave his take on the pope's invitation to Anglicans last night. Lots of funny one-liners: calling the Archbishop of Canterbury "the diet pope" and Fox news analyst Father Jonathan Morris "Father Cute Priest."
Morris called the pope's controversial offer a sign of Christian unity. To which Colbert responded, "Nothing brings Christians together like excluding gays and women."
Guest Episcopalian Rev. Randall Balmer publicly declined the invitation to join the Catholic Church, saying, "Holy water's fine. Let's not drink the Kool-Aid."
Watch the clip (commercial first) to see why Colbert compares the Catholic Church to the National League and the Anglicans to the American League.
You can always count on James Carroll to offer an insightful perspective. His latest column in the Boston Globe begins with these words:
I am distressed at the way many Catholics are responding to the Vatican's initiative regarding Anglicans seeking full communion with the Catholic Church. The latest is in these pages, below, where my colleague Ken Briggs assertion that the proposed apostolic constitution is a "slap in the face" to the churches of the Reformation and decidedly not an instance of ecumenism.
Also critical was James Carroll, who writes in the Globe, "Last week's anti-Anglican salvo from Rome shows how far the Catholic leadership has fallen from the heights of Vatican II." Actually, the Pope who approved the apostolic constitution, who in fact puts the "apostle" in "apostolic" was also at Vatican II. Now, it is not unknown in the history of our civilization that some people rise with their years and others diminish, but where is the evidence for this fall Carroll sees?
Some analyses of the "welcome home" party being thrown for dissident Anglicans refer to the pope's invitation as the culmination of ecumenism.
That sounds to me like calling the invasion of Iraq a product of the peace movement.
Ecumenism implies good will and mutual respect. The gallery of historic Protestant churches (silly me thinks they're actually churches) have trooped to reconciliation talks with Catholics for decades. They come up with wonderful agreements and lasting friendships. When these accomplishments get to Rome, however, they have been either called deficient or reduced in importance.
The green light to angry Anglicans is, therefore, indicative of a general disrespect Rome shows toward the rest of Christianity. The price of dialogue is capitulation to the Roman Catholic Church, pure and simple.
The Reformation churches have reason to be furious at this slap in the face. They've played the part of fools in thinking ecumenical talks meant something other than surrender.
Christians have always played one-upsmanship, of course. One group lords it over another, regions square off and disputes go on, as we know, for hundreds, even thousands of years.
Cardinal Franc Rodé, Prefect of the Congregation for the Religious, and the person charged by Pope Benedict to conduct the Apostolic Investigation of U.S. women religious congregations, last March ordained six new deacons for Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest at the institutes mother house in Gricigliano, Italy, near Florence, Italy.
Looking at these photos, one is reminded of the cultural, ecclesial, and socio-psychological diversity that make up our church. Living, as we do, in the early 21st century, we should recognize we are products of a mix of complex and unprecedented pre-modern, modern, and post-modern influences and temperaments.

Relax.....the tittle is not a typo. Haha
Just wondering about something and have been for a long while now.
I figured since there's a forum for just us Canadians, and the odd American that decides to chime in, I'd see what everyone else's opinion on it is.
CCCP is what I'm going to be refereeing to as "Canadian Conceal Carry Permit" since it seems easiest that way. But now that my thought has been made obvious, what are your guys thought about it? Should the Canadian govn't look into allowing it or do you guys think it would for some reason do more harm then it would good?

I for one, would be fine with it - provided one passes a background check or something. I think people should be able to protect themselves, and be judged based on their actions, not the possibility of their actions. If I find myself in a situation where I need a gun, I'd rather have it, versus say, there might be a chance that someone will misuse a gun, so noone should ever carry one.
Technically there is a cccp already though. It's just near impossible to get.

That's the reason I think we should have one. I know a lot of states you need to go for a class an pass background checks, so I don't see why something like that can be brought into Canada.......would of been a better use the for the money spent on the LGR.
I knew the bit about there being something pretty close to a CCCP here. But like you've stated, it's nearly impossible to get unless you can prove that your life is at risk daily or something along those lines.
If you dont mind me aking how does one go about getting a carry consealed lisence in Canada? I live in Michigan but i had no idea guns were so much of a big deal that you cant even carry one. Ive read on this forum that you can only have a five round magazine capacity on a fire arm. Just looking to learn some of your laws if you have a good websites that will work also.
Odd name or maybe you're just a bit young. Check out the jersey for the old Soviet Red Army hockey team. Yep, CCCP is the acronym for Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in Russian.
"The whole of the Bill (of Rights) is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals.... It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of." (Albert Gallatin of the New York Historical Society, October 7, 1789)
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." - George Washington
Ha, I did notice the whole cccp/russian connection originally, but I assumed that he wasn't advocating communism for Canada!
As for getting a CCP in Canada, it's pretty darn hard - neigh impossible.
Firstly you have to get your firearms license (and restricted license for pistols) which requires you taking a basic course on laws and safety - that's no problem - its pretty basic and easy. You can get both licenses at the same time (I did) - it really is easy.
Then you get a criminal background check.
Eventually, they'll mail you your license, and then you can buy guns, there's no real waiting period. Some guns (usually handguns) do need some paperwork so you might have to wait a week for it to go through, but its no big deal.
Then you'll usually need an ATT or authorization to transport restricted guns (mostly handguns or other "dangerous" guns) to ranges etc. that's pretty easy to get, and there are loopholes to make it so you can take it pretty much anywhere - talk to your local gun dealer or licensing place - they'll help you.
NOW if you want the CCP, you go to the police, fill out a form, make a formal request, and you have to prove to them why you need to carry a gun. Unless you are a cop, soldier, politician or you're an informant or something you really have a hard to time proving that you need a gun to protect your life. Ultimately the police have the final say, and they generally don't want anyone to be armed. So your basically SOL on that front. Aside from police, I can't think of ANYONE actually getting a ccp. I'm sure some people have, but its not common.
Oh and yes, generally there is a 5rnd limit on semi-auto centre-fire longarms, and a 10rnd limit on handguns. There are a bunch of exceptions to the rule, and some loopholes that may get around it but that's generally is how it goes.
Non-semi-auto guns are not restricted on ammo - ie pump shotguns or bolt rifles have no magazine limits. Rimfire guns have no limits as long as they're not full-auto, (rimfire pistols are stuck to 10 also).
I hope this helps, and yes gun politics do suck up here, but honestly its not as bad as it could be. You can still own pretty much anything, but the anti-lobbyists have been working hard to take away our rights.
If I may make a brief comment from South of the border?
While the process varies here from state to state- in general:
You must show by an FBI background check that you do not have a condition that prohibits you from possessing a gun (convicted felon, drug user, mentally incompetent, etc)
You show that you have had training or experience in the use of firearms (military, law enforcement, or civilian firearms training course)
Many of the states are now "Shall Issue" states- there is no proving of a "need" to carry (pick up newspaper, read headlines, there's your proof)
In every state that HAS implemented a wider issuance of concealed carry licenses- (A) Violent crime has dropped sharply. Carjacking that 65 year old man may be a very bad idea, y'know? (B) The street drains have NOT been clogged by the massive bloodletting forecast by the liberals. They have proclaimed that every minor traffic accident will become a shootout. Well, has not happened. (C) Despite the recent misreporting on the Zimmerman case in Florida, no, there has NOT been the foretold massive increase in vigilantes hunting down and executing petty criminals. Matter of fact, percentage of concealed carry permit holders that have their permits pulled for illegal conduct is a tiny fraction of a fraction of 1%.
Would it work for Canada? No valid reason why not- but that is for Canadians to decide for themselves. With that, I will send best wishes to our good neighbors to the North, and head back over to my side of the border.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.

PA DEP Fines Pittsburgh Companies for Asphalt Tank Violations in Four Counties
PR Newswire
MEADVILLE, Pa., July 11, 2012
MEADVILLE, Pa., July 11, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Department of Environmental Protection has signed a consent order and agreement with Russell Standard and Hammaker East LTD, both of Pittsburgh, for violations of the Storage Tank Act and associated regulations.
The agreement requires the companies to pay a $20,000 civil penalty for removing and installing storage tanks without the proper state-certified oversight and failing to obtain permits for tanks at asphalt plants in Adams Township, Butler County; Le Boeuf Township, Erie County; Greene Township, Franklin County; and Springfield Township, Mercer County.
"The asphalt emulsions stored in these 26 tanks, which range in size from 6,000 to 158,000 gallons, are a regulated substance under the Storage Tank Act. The tanks should have been permitted accordingly," DEP Northwest Regional Director Kelly Burch said. "Certified installers must also be used for removing and installing tanks like these, and it is apparent that also did not occur."
Asphalt emulsions are blends of asphalt, solvents, water and other agents and are used as sealants and binding agents in road paving.
Russell Standard and Hammaker East must hire an independent, third-party, certified inspector to examine the tanks; register all tanks with DEP; and apply for any outstanding permits. The civil penalty will be paid to the state's Storage Tank Fund, which is used to permit, inspect and enforce the regulations on storage tanks around the state.
Installation and removal of storage tanks must be done by state-certified installers to ensure the process is done safely. Aboveground storage tanks with capacities greater than 21,000 gallons must be permitted by DEP.
Russell Standard manufactures asphalt at its Mars Plant in Adams Township, Butler County; the Wheelertown Road Plant in Le Boeuf Township, Erie County; and the Mercer Plant in Springfield Township, Mercer County. It is a limited partner of Hammaker East, which manufactures asphalt at its Chambersburg Plant in Greene Township, Franklin County.

Windham lawmaker explains circumstances of arrest
WINDHAM - State Rep. Charles McMahon said Thursday morning that his arrest earlier this week stemmed from a "delicate family situation" that resulted in a call to 911.
McMahon said one of his sons, Shane, 23, suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, and became argumentative Tuesday night.
"It's a challenge we've been dealing with as long as I can remember," McMahon said. The argument "was nothing physical, but he felt that he had to call 911."
McMahon said he and his wife tried to calm Shane down and that there was no emergency that warranted a 911 call. When police and firefighters arrived, "they found no emergency."
He said Shane told police that McMahon told him not to call 911. He said police told him that trying to prevent someone from calling 911 is a violation and he was arrested on a charge of obstructing the report of a crime. He said he is due in court Dec. 17.
McMahon, a Republican who represents District 4 in Rockingham County and who was reelected in November, said he regrets, but accepts, that a private matter has become public because of his position. This was the first time he's been arrested, he said.
"This ADHD is difficult to deal with and sadly it went public," he said. "But I believe in transparency and I want people to know that this was what (happened)."
McMahon said his eldest son, Charlie, suffers from severe cerebral palsy. He said he ran for public office because he wanted to help families like his "make their lives be the best they can be.
"We have a very delicate family issue that we've been dealing with for many years," he said. "We're going to continue to do the best we can. We just don't make excuses and (we) keep working at it. I'm not going to give up on him."
McMahon also praised the Windham Police Department.
"They were professional in every way," he said.

The British Columbia Coroners Service says investigators found a spoon with drug residue and a used hypodermic needle in the hotel room where "Glee" actor Cory Monteith was found dead in July.
The coroner's final report issued Wednesday, confirmed initial findings that Monteith died from using intravenous heroin combined with alcohol.
The 31-year-old Canadian-born actor was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room July 13.
Monteith had checked into the hotel on July 6 and when he didn't check out as expected on July 13, hotel staff entered his room and found him unresponsive on the floor. Two empty bottles of champagne were also found in the room.
The investigation says Monteith had a history of illicit drug use with intermittent periods of rehabilitation and of abstinence from drugs.

4). WR Tony Gonzalez - T-Gon set the tone for the game early on, hauling in a touchdown pass from Matt Ryan on the Eagles' first drive… on fourth down. It was Gonzalez's second touchdown reception on fourth down this season; his first came against Army. He added another 13-yard TD reception to go with his first of 24 yards, finishing the day with 4 catches for 45 yards. He has emerged as a go-to guy for Ryan and should be the Eagles' number one receiver in the spring.
3). DB Ryan Glasper - Glasper has always been one of the good guys on the team- great with the media, helping the community through the athlete service program at BC. On Wednesday he had his finest game as an Eagle, book-ending the BC victory with an interception on Boise State's first drive and one on their final drive. His interception of a Jared Zabransky pass in the end zone late in the fourth quarter effectively ended the game. Glasper matched his previous career total of interceptions (2) in one game which was somewhat reminiscent of T.J. Stancil recording three interceptions in the 2003 Emerald Bowl, numbers 1, 2 and 3 of his career.
2). WR William Blackmon - Blackmon has shown over the final few games of the season the explosiveness and game-breaking ability fans thought he would have on offense. Is it a coincidence his season turned for the better when Matt Ryan was named starting QB? Probably not. Blackmon ended his BC career on a high note with 144 yards on 5 catches, but perhaps one more yard and a 31-point halftime lead would have eased the BC fans' pain down the stretch. Nonetheless Will did it all on Wednesday afternoon: a catch-and-run, a great grab in the end zone, a leaping catch of a Hail Mary and even a pass defended on defense.
1). QB Matt Ryan - We're running out of things to write about this guy. He just finds a way to win and keep his team fired up. He was on the sideline getting his team ready when the BC offense was about to get the ball back with under two minutes to go in the first half. Shortly thereafter Will Blackmon came down with the ball in the end zone and the Eagles were on their way to a victory. Ryan almost threw another TD before the half but Blackmon was Kevin Dyson-ed on the 1 yard line. Despite the turtle-shell offense in the second half, Ryan and the offense managed to control enough clock that ultimately time ran out on Boise State (with a little help from Glasper)… and Ryan moved his record to 5-0 as a starter and 1-0 in relief on the season.

The raw materials of the James Bond films are so familiar by now that the series can be revived only through an injection of humor. That is, unfortunately, the one area in which the new Bond, Timothy Dalton, seems to be deficient. He's a strong actor, he holds the screen well, he's good in the serious scenes, but he never quite seems to understand that it's all a joke.
The correct tone for the Bond films was established right at the start, with Sean Connery's quizzical eyebrows and sardonic smile. He understood that the Bond character was so preposterous that only lightheartedness could save him. The moment Bond began to act like a real man in a real world, all was lost. Roger Moore understood that, too, but I'm not sure Dalton does.
Dalton is rugged, dark and saturnine, and speaks with a cool authority. We can halfway believe him in some of his scenes. And that's a problem, because the scenes are intended to be preposterous. The best Bond movies always seem to be putting us on, to be supplying the most implausible and dangerous stunts in order to assure us they can't possibly be real. But in "The Living Daylights," there is a scene where Bond and his girlfriend escape danger by sliding down a snow-covered mountain in a cello case, and damned if Dalton doesn't look as if he thinks it's just barely possible.
The plot of the new movie is the usual grab bag of recent headlines and exotic locales. Bond, who is assigned to help a renegade Russian general defect to the West, stumbles across a plot involving a crooked American arms dealer, the war in Afghanistan and a plan to smuggle a half-billion dollars worth of opium. The story takes Bond from London to Prague, from mountains to deserts, from a chase down the slopes of Gibraltar to a fight that takes place while Bond and his enemy are hanging out of an airplane. The usual stuff.
One thing that isn't usual in this movie is Bond's sex life. No doubt because of the AIDS epidemic, Bond is not his usual promiscuous self, and he goes to bed with only one, or perhaps two, women in this whole film (it depends on whether you count the title sequence, where he parachutes onto the boat of a woman in a bikini). This sort of personal restraint is admirable, coming from Bond, but given his past sexual history surely it is the woman, not Bond, who is at risk.
The key female character is Kara (Maryam d'Abo), the Russian cellist, who gets involved in the plot with the Russian general, tries to work against Bond and eventually falls in love with him. As the only "Bond girl" in the movie, d'Abo has her assignment cut out for her, and unfortunately she's not equal to it. She doesn't have the charisma or the mystique to hold the screen with Bond (or Dalton) and is the least interesting love interest in any Bond film.
There's another problem. The Bond films succeed or fail on the basis of their villains, and Joe Don Baker, as the arms-dealing Whitaker, is not one of the great Bond villains. He's a kooky phony general who plays with toy soldiers and never seems truly diabolical. Without a great Bond girl, a great villain or a hero with a sense of humor, "The Living Daylights" belongs somewhere on the lower rungs of the Bond ladder. But there are some nice stunts.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

I'm back, baby! Yeah, as soon as I get my new job set up in the state of Minnesota (and a reliable Internet connection, a new digital camera, and, hopefully, some more LEGO pieces), I'll be posting all new creations up on here but for the moment, please sit tight and enjoy what I've got on here. I also have some pictures of some other MOCs that I haven't posted on here, so as soon as I get the internet and other things set up, I'll be posting my work online for you. Thank you for your patience.
Oh, I'm sorry for being gone for so long but I've been focusing more on getting a job, a college education, and trying to have a life that is outside of LEGO. I've also been on another chat room website (which shall not be named) and I've been talking to people there more and, at the moment, I am kind of ticked off at The LEGO Group for their shoddy treatment of an old man and his daughter and the incident at LEGOLAND Canada. I am not sure if you all heard of this story, but here it is in a nutshell. This old guy wanted to visit LEGOLAND with his daughter in Toronto, Ontario, Canada but, for some reason, they thought of his as being up to no good and that his interest in LEGO at his age was unhealthy, so the people that were there essentially booted him and his daughter from the park. I do not know about you but, from what I read of the story, the case clearly sounds like a case of age discrimination, and I hope that the guy wins his lawsuit. I also been to some websites that basically said every cruel thing that they could to this man, including that he should get a life (never mind that the jealous jerks probably lack one themselves and they say such comments in order to tear down random strangers on the internet in order to build themselves up because their own lives are going nowhere), and I read such rude posters the Riot Act. At any rate, we should really begin to come down hard on LEGOLAND Canada, and maybe The LEGO Group as a whole, until they either change that policy or we have a revolt and we can buy up The LEGO Group from the family that owns LEGO. I am sorry, but, due to the above mentioned things, as well as waiting for a computer upgrade, new LEGO parts, and a new digital camera, I am essentially taking a sabbatical from LEGO. Finally, I did apply to the LEGO Stores where I live in the Twin Cities, but I have not heard back from The LEGO Group, so I don't know if I'll ever get a job with them...:(

Six Reasons Dan Marino Being Hired by the Miami Dolphins Is Great News
The big news over the weekend was that the Miami Dolphins have finally gone ahead and hired Hall of Fame quarterback and all-time Dolphin icon Dan Marino to a front-office job.
Photo by Chris Joseph
The actual title of the job is "special advisor." And while that can literally mean just about anything, all indications seem to be pointing to Marino being a figure head for ticket sales and community service -- not unlike what Alonzo Mourning does for the Miami Heat.
However, Marino will definitely serve as an adviser to owner Stephen Ross on football matters, which is the most important part of this whole endeavor. Because, up to this point, Ross has run the organization pretty much exactly like a couple of monkeys and a yo-yo would.
And, while back in February we personally advised Marino not to take any job with the Dolphins, we're kind of coming around on the idea.
And here are six reasons why:
See also: 9 Reasons Dan Marino Should Not Take Any Front Office Jobs with the Dolphins
It's official! I am excited about the future of this great organization! @MiamiDolphins #StrongerTogether— Dan Marino (@DanMarino) August 24, 2014
6. He's the Face of Past Glories
Just look at that video. THAT'S a quarterback, damn it. And that's what's sorely been lacking around here. But because his knees have the same density as peanut brittle, Marino can't suit up right now. But he brings the next best thing: history.
Stephen Ross has always tried to look forward when it comes to the Dolphins. He's very much been about aesthetic more than substance, it would seem. Starting with the orange carpet and selling team stakes to B-list celebs all the the way through to the new revolting pseudo-pastiche uniforms and logo fans are now forced to stare at every Sunday -- Ross has forgotten what made the past Dolphins teams so great. Now, with Marino officially in the fold, we at least have some connection to when the Dolphins were pure unadulterated badass, as opposed to what they are now -- pure unadulterated ass.
5. He Brings Contrast to Mediocrity
The Dolphins have sucked for a long, long, long, long time. In fact, they've pretty much sucked from right around the time Marino retired. Sure, they had some decent teams here and there and made the playoffs a couple of times since he's been gone. But for the most part, the Dolphins have been mired in the football cesspool known as mediocrity for the better part of two decades now.
See also: Eight Types of Miami Dolphins Fans
While Marino's specific role is a bit ambiguous and quite possibly a figurehead position, the fact is, his presence alone even at 52 is far greater than anything the Dolphins have going for them in their front office or on the field. At the very least, his presence in the building might scare the shit out of players to be better.
Geee I hope Dan Marino is cool enough to get into this super exclusive smart peoples successful VIP club. pic.twitter.com/P3fKsk298z— Rizz (@Rizzmigizz) August 22, 2014

Oral history project to document oil spill impacttags: Mississippi, oral history, Deepwater Horizon, oil spills
University of Southern Mississippi Center for Oral History and Cultural Heritage interviews with Gulf Coast marine harvesters affected by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill are included in an initiative supported with funding by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
NOAA's DWH Oral History Project documents the experience of people living in Gulf of Mexico DWH oil-spill-affected fishing communities. The oral history data complements other social and economic data about the spill collected by NOAA and other governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations.
NOAA social scientists will use these data to help them determine the factors and conditions that affect the ability of Gulf of Mexico commercial and recreational marine harvesters, and supporting shore side businesses, to adapt to any DWH oil-disaster-induced changes to the local marine and human environments....

A small Christian congregation has won a two-year battle to gain charitable status in a case which could have had a knock-on effect on strictly Orthodox Jewish groups.
The Charity Commission has finally agreed to register the Preston Down Trust in Devon, which belongs to the Plymouth Brethren sect, after rejecting its application in 2012.
A London philanthropist, who fled Germany as a child, is to be presented with the country's highest award.
Sir Ralph Kohn, 86, is to receive the Order of Merit at a ceremony at the German Embassy on Tuesday.
Oxfam has cancelled an exhibition about Gaza over concerns about a pro-Palestinian activist who was due to co-host the event with the charity.
Gaza: Through My Eyes was due to take place tonight at the East London Mosque in Whitechapel, with Ibrahim Hewitt as keynote speaker.
Oxfam pulled out after it was forwarded details of comments attributed to Mr Hewitt about homosexuality and Jews.
More than £10 million of cuts by Salford Council to adult and childcare budgets will significantly impact on local Jewish charities and families.
Greater Manchester's largest Jewish welfare charity, The Fed, says the latest tranche of cuts will mean the loss of Salford funding for its short-term respite service to families caring for a disabled relative.
A League of Jewish Women "lad" has dedicated his volunteering to helping impoverished ex-servicemen and women.
Harold Weisberg, 79, has helped hundreds of ex-soldiers and their widows in Salford, where he is treasurer of the local branch of the national armed forces charity SSAFA.
An after-school club is being launched by The Fed for children with additional needs at The Hershel Weiss Children's Centre, Salford.
The free club, which will be held on Wednesdays, will be staffed by family support workers from The Fed's Project Smile team and is aimed at five to 12-year-old Jewish children who have a diagnosed disability.
Broadcaster Martyn Lewis was big news at the second annual Jewish community trustee event organised by Lead, the JLC's leadership development division.
Mr Lewis gave the keynote address at the event, run in partnership with the Jewish Volunteering Network and hosted by City law firm Berwin Leighton Paisner. The 85 attendees represented 35 communal organisations.
An American rabbi, a theatre producer, a writer and the former Football Association chairman have been recognised in the New Year's Honours List.
Langdon opened its third supported living community in Borehamwood.
The charity, which helps vulnerable youth and adults with learning disabilities, already provides supported housing schemes in Edgware and Manchester.
Langdon chief executive Alison Rosen said the £1 million unit is "a major milestone and a proud moment for the charity.
World Jewish Relief volunteers have looked to their own wardrobes to launch the charity's Operation Winter Survival 2013.
To raise awareness of harsh winter conditions in the Former Soviet Union, the WJR team have stripped their wardrobes and bagged up clothing.

Its members are scientists and practitioners trained in multiple disciplines who come from around the world. They are employed by government, industry, consulting firms, NGOs, academic institutions, and themselves.

This diversity of disciplines and perspectives is crucial for gaining better insights into the complex challenges of globalization and can help policy makers to cope with the growing uncertainties and ambiguities of policy making.
About the Event
The theme of the meeting is Risk Analysis: The Common Denominator, using the risk analysis framework and risk-related tools to evaluate and solve complex or divisive environmental and public health issues, such as hydraulic fracturing, legalized marijuana use, and natural disasters (like the recent Colorado floods). Special emphasis will also be placed on the better integration of environmental, community, and occupational risk assessment methods and approaches. There are many fantastic opportunities planned, some new and some that we enjoy every year. The preliminary program, registration form, pre-conference workshops, and program schedule will be posted below as they become available.

Every Hosting Provider is building its own cloud storage solutions. The situation is either build it or lose business to whoever has it, such as Amazon S3, Rackspace Cloud Files or Windows Azure Blob Storage.
Now the question is how to build it fast and take it to market soon. In this sense, OpenStack Object Storage is very attractive. First it is open source. Second, it is based on Rackspace Cloud Files so it has big commercial companies supporting the initiative.
If you are a service provider built on OpenStack storage, you are thinking about how to deliver that storage to user's desktop. If you are a SMB user, you are thinking about how to use the storage from your desktop too. Either way, you are looking for a Windows client that supports OpenStack storage.
With the release of version 2.4, OpenStack is supported in Gladinet Cloud Desktop, CloudAFS and Cloud Backup, collectively the Gladinet Cloud Storage Access Suite.
[Updated 1/11/2013] With the release of Gladinet Cloud, now there is different access clients surrounding OpenStack swift storage, including Windows, Mac, Browser based file manager and mobile apps.
Mount It & Use It
In the Gladinet Cloud Storage Access Suite 2.4, you can mount the OpenStack Storage.
You can get the username, password and access point from the service provider who supports OpenStack.
Windows Client
In Gladinet Cloud Desktop, after the OpenStack storage is mounted, you can use it as a network drive with backup functionalities.
In Gladinet CloudAFS, the storage is mounted at the server side. So the windows client is the regular windows SMB client using the OpenStack Storage indirectly through the server, or the cloud gateway.
In Gladinet Cloud Backup, it is another kind of windows client for OpenStack, focused on backup functionalities.
There are 3 ways to deliver OpenStack storage to user's desktop.
Web Based File Manager
[Updated 1/11/2013] With Gladinet Cloud, you can use web based file manager to access your openstack swift account.
