Jim Jones. David Koresh. More recently, a crazy couple in South Korea. Not to mention my own experiences growing up in fundamentalist Baptists schools and neo-Pentecostal churches.
Jones, Koresh, and the rest studied and applied the Scriptures — their unique interpretations of Scriptures.
In some minds, the uses and abuses of the Bible in our time strains its very credibility.
The Protestant Reformed view is that the Bible is infallible and inerrant.
But is the Protestant Reformed view of the Bible infallible and inerrant?
If the Protestant Reformed view of the Bible is infallible and inerrant, then something other than the Bible is infallible and inerrant — the point of view humans bring to the Bible can be infallible and inerrant, too.
Can the text be separated from its reader?
Who claims to have a perfect interpretation of the Scriptures?
If the Protestant Reformed view of the Bible is not infallible and inerrant, then the Protestant Reformed view of the Bible's infallibility and inerrancy could be wrong, too.
If the Protestant Reformed view is infallible and inerrant to the extent that it corresponds to the Bible, then the position is circular: the interpretive tool is used to affirm itself.

What a red herring. "Long-term energy strategy" is a phrase that takes the focus off immediate problems and poor leadership. As David Gregory pointed out to White House Senior Adviser David Plouffe on Meet the Press, presidential candidate Obama promised to address rising gasoline prices — while standing in front of gasoline pumps. When Plouffe says "we need a long-term energy strategy," viewers ought to ask why we don't have one yet — and why the President hasn't led his administration to offer one.

Let's say you and I met 30 minutes ago.
We met in a hotel lobby, and a passing comment about a sports car became a conversation.
I told you, "Hey, I just got a new Jaguar."
You said, "Wow — that's cool!"
Then we decided to share a ride somewhere.
We walked up to my car. It's a Honda Accord.
You said, "Oh, I thought you had your Jaguar with you."
I said, "No, I just have an Accord."
You wondered if I'm crazy or a liar or what.
We got in the car, and I started driving.
We passed a convention center, and a sign for an upcoming concert turned the conversation to music.
You said, "I really love jazz."
I said, "Awesome! I've got a massive collection of jazz in the back. We'll get it out when we pull into a gas station."
When we pulled into the gas station, I reached into the back and pulled out a small compact-disc holder. I handed it to you. You opened it. Inside, you found five CDs of 1980s pop.
"This doesn't look like a jazz collection," you said, a little exasperated.
"Oh, I don't have a jazz collection with me — I have a few 1980s pop CDs," I said.
You thought I was crazy or a liar or something.
Now, in the past 30 minutes, twice I've told you something, and then I changed my story.
Do you think I'm trustworthy?
Maybe, just maybe, some of the debates about Biblical discrepencies could be described this way:
The "liberal" text critics might say, "Look, in this passage, the Bible clearly says he had a Jaguar, and in this passage, the Bible clearly says he had an Accord. This is a problem."
The "conservative" text critics might say, "Look, the important thing is that he had a car, just like he said."
The "liberal" text critics might say, "How can you call this inerrant? He said he had a big jazz collection, and then he said he had a small 1980s pop collection! This is what you mean by inerrancy?"
The "conservative" text critics might reply, "He said he had music in his car, and he did, and that's the importance of this passage. Ergo, inerrancy preserved!"
Of course, this analogy doesn't work for every instance of factual discrepency, but it might just apply to some.
Could it be that the "conservatives" have a very broad, liberal view of what makes a text trustworthy?
(And why don't we talk about this in church? It's like the elephant in the room.)

I thoroughly enjoyed this dialogue between "conservative" New Testament text critic Dr. Dan Wallace and a "liberal" counterpart, Dr. Bart Ehrman. The dialogue was organized by The Ehrman Project, where I found the video.
I was surprised to hear how much agreement exists between Wallace and Ehrman.
Once you really, actually watch the video of the dialogue, consider the following:
1. I think Wallace makes a reasonable case for the reliability of the New Testament, but not in the same sense that a Bible study group might count on its realiability. The reliability of available New Testament documents — as discussed by Wallace and Ehrman — seems better applied to broad, thematic (and at times allegorical) views of the Bible. While many of the likely 400,000 discrepencies among available New Testament documents might be minor spelling and grammatical issues, those very discrepencies would seem to be grounds for a reasonable "epistemological humility," to quote Ehrman.
2. Based on what I've said above, Bible studies that are more or less inductive don't seem like a good idea. Some Bible studies are explicitly inductive, like ones that use the Serendipity inductive study Bibles. Others are implicitly inductive, meaning that they look at specific passages, sentences, phrases, and words in Scripture and try to draw conclusions from those instances within the Biblical texts. On a verse-by-verse basis, however, the available New Testament documents don't seem reliable enough to bank-on in a rigorous sense. As a whole, the New Testament seems reliable enough to justify, say, the Nicene Creed or the Apostles Creed. In the video, note how Ehrman and Wallace agree that 2 Corinthians was likely stitched together from more than one letter, unlike 1 Corinthians, making an "original" 2 Corinthians difficult to pinpoint. Certainly, a reasonable person might ask, "Why is a collection of two or more letters representing itself to us as a single book?" Such a misrepresentation might be insignificant, but we're talking about The Word of God doing the misrepresenting here. (Furthermore, in Ehrman's Jesus, Interrupted, which I'm reading when I have time, Ehrman claims that liberal and conservative scholars agree that about half of the books attributed to Paul were not actually written by Paul.)
3. Consider, too, how some "conservative" pastors and ministers and public speakers address Christianity. Typically, their approach to the Bible is somewhat literary, meaning they seek evidence of certain themes among the Scriptural texts. Also, typically, their approach to the Bible is somewhat historical-grammatical, meaning that each Biblical narrative (with the usual exception of the parables of Jesus) is considered perfectly historical, and that the true meaning of the text can be found through grammatical scrutiny. Furthermore, typically, their approach to Christian apologetics is somewhat abstract, relying on mental reasoning rather than evidence. What Wallace and Ehrman are dealing with is totally different. Text criticism and historical research are more concrete endeavors than literary analysis and abstract arguments. That's not to say that literary analysis and abstract arguments are of a lesser order — I actually enjoy both and depend upon them to make a living — but instead it's just to say that those modes are limited compared to the more concrete matters of dating manuscripts and examining changes in various texts throughout history.

During spring break, I've been reading Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength by Roy F. Baumeister and John Tierney (Penguin, 2011).
Baumeister, a psychologist, and Tierney, a New York Times science writer, argue that willpower (a) really exists, (b) predicts success, and (c) depletes with use, whether it's being used to resist temptation or accomplish ordinary tasks.
They cite a study in which researchers suggest fighting spouses should come home early from work, while they still have reserves of willpower, so they can avoid conflict caused by long hours of disciplined labor.
The below excerpt from the book is particularly loaded and interesting, for reasons that regular readers of this blog should understand. First, two introductory thoughts:
Christian tradition has long held, "we believe in order to know."
It turns out "we believe in order to do," too.
People often conserve their willpower by seeking not the fullest or best answer but rather a predetermined conclusion. Theologians and believers filter the world to remain consistent with the nonnegotiable principles of their faith. The best salesmen often succeed by first deceiving themselves. Bankers packaging subprime loans convinced themselves that there was no problem giving mortgages to the class of unverified borrows classified as NINA, as in "no income, no assets." Tiger Woods convinced himself that the rules of monogamy didn't apply to him — and that somehow nobody would notice the dalliances of the world's most famous athlete.

Nowadays, take a drive on S.C. 378 from Conway to Columbia. Count the number of churches along the way. I'm not accusing them of violence, but guess how many different Biblical interpretations they might represent.
Of course I don't know how many interpretations in any definitive sense, but I can justify my despair: In the 1990s, according to a United Nations estimate, Protestant denominations alone, globally, numbered around 30,000.
A more recent — and broader — number comes from the 2001 World Christian Encyclopedia: A comparative survey of churches and religions – AD 30 to 2200, which counts 34,000 separate Christian groups in the world.
"Over half of them are independent churches that are not interested in linking with big denominations," the encyclopedia says.
So, some of those denominations are redundant or similar in belief and practice, no doubt.
But if there were only 34 differences — two figures instead of five — among Bible-based religions, would that be any saner?

Swimming at NightSaturday, April 9th, 2011
It was a beautiful night to top off a beautiful day, and the kids decided we were going to go swimming and have a fire. I decided that the water was just a tad too cold for me, but they had fun swimming while I tended to the fire. They were pretty interested in that fire once they got out of the water.
Fun RunSaturday, April 9th, 2011
There was a first annual "fun run" at the kids' school today. They were so excited about it and they all wanted to do the 5K run. We did pretty well, especially considering how few people who were at the event even participated in the run. It was pretty hilly, but we stayed together and we all made good time and got some great exercise. Later, they had 1-mile runs, divided by class, and the kids (and I) did one of those, too. We were one of the only families to do both of the runs (it was supposed to be a "one or the other" kind of thing). Congrats to my troopers!

Nice post Kevin,
At my home course the golf starter every Saturday drives around and checks on the pace of play. It helps only to a point but it can't stop someone from having a bad hole and slowing down the rest of the field behind them.
USGA President Glen Nager recently announced that, "Golf needs to act," concerning the problem of slow play. Slow play is an issue as old as time itself, and the answer to the problem, as it always has been, is as obvious as it ever was.
The pace of play on golf courses across the world has to be dictated and policed by the golf course staff. For the same reason we have highway patrolmen and police officers handing out speeding tickets and traffic violations, we need the people that manage golf courses to pro-actively manage golfers.
There has to be someone in control. There has to be bosses. People need to be managed. Without authority there is anarchy, and anarchy on a golf course leads to people being discourteous and selfish and to time standing still.
On one golf course where I play they used to have a grumpy older fellow named Gene. Gene ran the pro shop, acted as a starter and marshaled the course with swift justice. He was a little guy who chain smoked, and had no time or patience for people slowing down the pace. Gene knew that just like the selfish and rude people who drive poorly and unsafely on our streets and highways, there are golfers who act selfishly and rude on our courses if they are not stopped. He understood very well that golf courses are really just small little societies, and that we as golfers are "all in this together."
If your group was slow and people were backing up behind you, he told you to pick up the pace. He pointed ahead of you and said that two holes were open, and he pointed behind you and showed you the three groups stacked up behind you. He knew no favorites and he accepted no excuses. They were glorious times. Gene recently lost a hard fought battle with lung cancer, may he rest in peace, and that golf course has never been the same since he left. I think about him often when slow players bog down a golf course.
The group I was playing in recently caught up to a young man playing by himself. On the tee box he hit multiple tee shots in all directions, oblivious to the fact that we were watching him on a tee box behind him on the same hole. He proceeded to criss-cross back and forth across the fairway, hitting the balls that were findable. Once he made it to the green he proceeded to "putt" while lying flat on his chest and using the end of his putter grip like a pool cue. The young lady riding along in the cart with him finally noticed us and pointed back to us waiting and watching him. He jumped up, made sure to show us an exasperated look to let us know that we were bothering him, and went back and putted normally several times from other positions. He and his "caddy" then walked the 50-yard walk back to the rough where they left the cart and drove off. He piddled around on the tee box long enough that by the time our group caught him, we once again had to watch him take several practice swings between half a dozen "tee shots" that went everywhere. Then he turned around and gave us the stink eye. It was just delightful.
That fellow obviously represented an extreme to the argument that golf courses need to be policed. Maybe he is part of the 10 percent jerk factor. He might be the same guy who weaves in and out of traffic on the highway as he drives at an excessive speed while eating his breakfast burrito and texting. You might be inclined to flip this fellow the bird as you throw your beer at him and rev your engine to get away, but the best option is for a highway patrolman to handle the situation. An authority figure needs to take control.
The other end of that spectrum is a well-known county judge who also plays at the same club as the pool-putting dufus. He's a super nice guy, and a man who seems really young to have been re-elected multiple times. But at the golf course he is known as "black death." No one ever makes it more than nine holes with him. He aligns and adjusts, re-thinks, re-aligns and adjusts. And that is him just putting on his glove. He takes countless practice swings, countless looks down the fairway or at the green and spends forever tinkering the alignment of his club face at address. And of course, he walks slow.
A woman wearing a trenchcoat, who was as short as she was wide, and her playing companion who each trickled the ball down the fairway 10 times before they got to the green, actually had to play through him. My group had been behind the man and the woman, only to see the worst possible scenario waiting for us on the next tee. The judge and his partner saw us standing there, and saw the other two groups backed up on the par three we just left. They decided the best way to handle that was to dig in their heels and ruin the day for everyone. No one else was going through. We could have played six holes in the time the man and woman could play just one hole, and this judge and his partner were three holes behind them "immediately."
A slow group has no more right to play at a pace that backs up the course than a fast group should expect to fly through a course on a busy day. This isn't a statement about good golfers versus bad golfers. The bottom line is that golf needs to be fun for slow groups as well as fast groups, and without everyone going out of their way to accommodate for each other, the two speeds need to either be policed or separated.
The people that run golf courses need to get together and declare themselves an ardent supporter and enforcer of a faster pace of play, or as a course that welcomes anyone who wishes to play slowly. It's time to separate the masses.
To the gentleman who commented on my last slow play story that by gosh he likes to smoke cigars, sip cognac, and take his time on the few occasions where he can get out to the course and he doesn't want to be asked to finish in four hours, he should have golf courses or time slots that are dedicated to his preferred pace of play. And to the groups that play ready golf and finish in three hours or less, they should have courses or time slots that cater to them.
Granted, some properties are just too massive to expect golfers to be able to finish in a certain time frame, but you can bet that if groups are holding up the golf course and they are warned that they will be forced to pick up the pace or leave, they will find a way to be more efficient in their movements and decisions.
If a golf course wants to opt out of a formal play pace announcement, they need to designate slow play times and fast play times, or at the very least have a presence on the course. But they cannot just say it, they need to live it.
Another place where I play regularly has two courses. Every morning on one of the courses they block off all tee times from 9 a.m. to 12-noon for ladies' tee times that are never half used. They are either scared to death of the ladies who are members, like the rest of us are, or they want them to not feel like they belong on the course at other times.
One afternoon my group caught up to a twosome of ladies. The two of them got into an argument, and took turns getting in and out of a fairway bunker and pointing at something in the yard of one of the homes that lined the fairway. They stood there for several minutes before they moved on. Our group hit our tee shots once they cleared the way, and to our surprise our tee shots came to rest in the fairway next to the cart they were driving, which was parked 70-yards from the green in the middle of the fairway. They finished putting and saw us parked there beside them. They made no effort to acknowledge us, even as they were five feet away. They took their time and were still on the tee box for the next hole when we arrived there. One of them motioned to the other that we were there again, the other lady must have said she didn't care if we lived or died.
We waited on every shot for the next four holes, each time having to watch them walk back to the middle of the fairway to retrieve their cart. Finally, they apparently got into another argument about letting us play through. The first lady gestured to the fact that there were now four groups backed up behind them on two holes. The second lady, clearly irritated, sculled her chip across the green, chunked the next one, and three-putted before she stormed back down the fairway to her cart and drove off the golf course. When we called the shop to ask them to help us out after the second hole of waiting, they made it clear that they wanted no part of the situation.
These examples of golfer-on-golfer crimes happened at private courses. This is not about private golf versus public golf, this is about the game of golf turning into the house from the movie "Project X." Slow players and fast players just don't mix.
What some people posted about what a round of golf entails for them any time they play was an astonishing eye opener. There were posts of people driving for an hour to play, warming up an hour, playing for five or six hours, trying to squeeze in a little 19th-hole time, and driving home for another hour. I admire their commitment, but that is not a sustainable model for the future of golf. They didn't mention if they drove for that hour because the course they wanted to play was $15 less than the five or six within 15-minutes of them, but the five or six hours on the course means that the golf course staff wasn't doing their jobs. A packed golf course does not have to be a slow golf course.
For golf to be successful in bringing back players who left the game or play less frequently because in far too many places it has become an all day affair, courses need to take every step possible in shortening a round. No idea to improve the situation is off the table.
Every little idea can have compounding positive effects. Courses with native areas and gunch need to post them to be played as lateral hazards rather than normal lost ball rules. Golfers need to be started on tees that are appropriate for their skill levels. To ease frustration golfers need to be encouraged to not only play tees that are appropriate but also courses that match their experience and skill set. People need to not believe that nothing can be done that mind set has to change.
The USGA likes to talk about growing the game. Growing the game can have many different meanings. A nine-hour commitment for a round of golf will not catch on for many people looking for an outdoor activity. The game will also not grow from a youth movement learning to play the game more quickly if they learn by watching their favorite golfers and their mannerisms on television.
It's time we stop giving guys like Tiger Woods a free pass. One only had to watch the European Tour event in Abu Dhabi a couple of weeks ago to see a stark contrast between Tiger's mind numbing pre-shot routine and green reading processes with Rory McIlroy's ready golf style. Rory was practically pulling the trigger before Tiger's shots landed on the green or his putts stopped rolling. Tiger doesn't seem interested in getting any of that work done before it's his turn either. It almost looked like he knew he was driving McIlroy crazy with his pace. When people see Tiger's 10 practice swings and his process of walking slow circles around every putt they tend to think all that time is necessary for them too.
Golf means different things to people. It's time we stop treating golfers like we all approach it the same way. If there is always going to be fast and slow people, we need to separate them. And the slow people need to be helped to see how easily they could play faster. It's time for the sellers and providers of golf to re-affirm their professionalism and take control of their courses. They need to use cattle prods to move people along when necessary, shorten courses, adjust the rules, spread out tee times…they need to commit to anything and everything that helps.

Nice post Kevin,
At my home course the golf starter every Saturday drives around and checks on the pace of play. It helps only to a point but it can't stop someone from having a bad hole and slowing down the rest of the field behind them.
Etiquette certainly needs to be taught to all beginners and refreshed to all players. Every course should have a short note in their carts and/or on the first tee. Just a friendly reminder of what holds the game together. Something like
Please remember to:
1- Rake the bunkers
2- Fix your ball marks
3- Be aware of your pace of play and position.
4- Have fun!
Obviously the last one is dependent on the pace of play, number of ball marks you bounce over and foot prints you land in…
Great article. Slow play is one of my biggest frustrations with golf. In Colorado you can expect a 5+ hour round on any given weekend in the spring and summer. I think that golfers need to stop thinking they are playing for the FedEx cup. Is it really necessary to take 3 or 4 practice swings only to hit a poor shot??? Golfers should focus on the shot at hand rather than their swing during the round. Also, READY GOLF people. I don't think the entire foursome needs to watch every single shot of every single player. It is comedic sometimes watching a foursome in 2 carts driving to each players ball. Even funnier (not really) is when after all the effort to play in turn and the golf duffs the ball 20 yards. In addition, get over losing a ball. Do you really need to search for more than five minutes for a lost ball? Get over it and take your drop. My preference is to play in 3.5 hours or less.
Would never happen but spread tee times. instead of teeing off a shot after the group, maybe wait a hole
ENFORCED 10-minute tee times should be the norm. Results in better flow, fewer backups, less/no waiting.
Where I live we've pretty much been forced to accept the slow play on the county courses and if you want to play close to course time you go farther out of the city. Less skilled and older golfers tend to take over the county courses and you end up having to play slow if for no other reason than ability and age. Unless you're out there before 7 AM expect a 5.5 hour round. Some of the other counties around us are more proficient and will tell any group to speed up. I've been on courses where the ranger doesn't even know who to tell to speed up, and probably because we're the young group and she didn't expect to get lip from us she told us…we kindly explained to her that we're the 3rd group in line and our pace of play has nothing to do with the slow down on the course. Watched her drive away and just clear past the group that was slowing everyone else down…a group of older gentlemen that she just didn't want to get in an argument with.
But that's life on the public courses, you want to play fast…play during the week.
I don't see anything wrong with easier, more basic courses advertising themselves as a beginner friendly place in conjunction with more difficult courses advertising as a place where pace of play will be closely monitored. More really difficult courses, Riviera CC for one, ask people to prove a certain handicap to be able to play. There are different levels of softball leagues based on competitiveness, why not encourage golf courses to pro-actively guide players to the right courses for their skill levels? I am can say that I am not comfortable trying to take my kids out to play because I don't want to get in people's way.
I don't really have a problem with marshals enforcing a pace of play, but I do not want to spend my money on a green fee and a cart to have a marshal tell me that I need to skip a hole or two. I get a round done in around 4 hours. So, it's not like I play that slowly. I think, if possible, slower groups just need to let others play through. Also, the quicker players tend to be rude also. So, I think that it needs to change from all ends. It is a gentleman's sport after all.
interesting article, particularly like your mention of tiger woods, as he was complaining about the group in front of him at Torrey Pines and rightly so, but I thought it was one of the worst cases of hypocrisy I have ever seen as he is often very slow, and you can be sure if he was coming down that stretch with only a one shot lead he would have been a lot slower, and no one would have dared say anything in case they upset him.
"Pace of play" is a misnomer. If It's 4h 10m at your local track and you play in 4h 15m, you didn't play at an ok or acceptable pace. You played at a pace that exceeded the absolute longest time allowable. Quit talking about stupid shit on the tee, put the pedal on the floor and hit to the middle of the green. Not one of you out there is good enough to fire at pins. Including myself. Al put it best "Lets go, while we're young!".
Great article. By the above noted comments there are many side to the story. I am a part time marshall at a southern Ontario course. When on duty I go out of my way to drive the course backwards and when given the opportunity I meet all the players on the course. Our shifts are 6 hours so we have opportunity to usher the groups on and usher them off. If I have a group with a lost ball and it starts to take too long I politely ask them to drop and speed up and quite often will throw them one of my "found balls". As a believer in the buddy marshall system who engages the groups I have only had one run in with a group and two of the clowns were inebriated. We strive to maintain 15 minutes hole to clock a 4 and a 1/2 hour round. It works quite well.
Mind you the huge fund raising tournaments are another story – our marshalls might not as well be out there other than to make sure nobody gets hurt and stupidity doesn't cause damage tour course.
I have only been playing golf for a few years now, and I have played rounds of a full eighteen in as few as three hours and as many as six hours. I have to say, I agree that a slow pace is annoying and we should all take each other into consideration when playing, wheather it be level of experiance, group size or if someone in the group is having a bad round. We are all out there to enjoy the sport, but practice is for the driving range and if you lose a ball, so be it, if it bothers you that much, buy cheaper balls. Marshalls are there to do their job, they should push people to keep pace and be able to tell you why you are being held up. There are enough things in the game to get frustrated about, one of them shouldn't be wheather you are getting done before dinner when you started before lunch.
People need to play the correct tee boxes. Courses should make players play from certain tee boxes according to their handicap. Courses must invest in gps on the carts that update groups of their pace of play. It also, helps with hole lay-out and distances which all will speed up play. Players should not be told to skip holes during the round, but switch tee boxes if necessary. I have played at courses were the carts can be monitored by the gps and messages can be sent to the carts about pace of play and where to drive and park the cart. Next, adjust the order of groups being sent out if the tee times are right next to each other. Don't send a group of tourists out in front of a group of regulars if they have back to back tee times. Other adjustments for 3 sums / 2 sums / ladies / Dads with young kids and ect… should be made by starters. Finally, play ready golf!!!!!!!
the city owned course i play along with putting in 1.3 million in a new watering system to speed up play where they had brush between some holes that was left to nature they have mowed it down so balls hit there can now be found… also some trees along side of a fairway have had the lower branches trimmed up to where you can now hit a ball when under the tree… another place to help speed up play is where there is creeks across the fairway that curved back and forth they have eliminated the erosion by tapering the sides of the creek which allows you to find the ball and sometimes allow you to hit a ball thats on the bank where before it would be a deep dropoff. they have been putting some smart thinking into how to speed up play especially when some folks will not give up on a ball.
This is an interesting discussion. As a newcomer to the sport of golf my experience with slow play comes from a different perspective… As a newbie your obviously not accomplished. You are not confident in determinng yardage distances & proper club selection and accuracy is but a dream. With all these hurdles already in place being scolded & insulted by faster accomplished players does nothing to endear the newbie to the game. When I play I can see who's learning and trying their best. Pushing a newcomer to the game who has invested in green fees & equipment is hardly welcoming. Golf is already struggling to remain relevant. "Abusing" persons who are new or just trying the sport only drives them away (forever) and reinforces the exclusive nature of the sport.
The best policy I have seen was at a course where they have dime store clocks every three holes, you know the old school white face with black numbers, 12 inch diameter, minute and second hands, can run for 3 years off of AA battery. What they did was factor in a 4 hour round, and did the math to figure out how long it should take you to play the first 3 holes: eg. 40 minutes. So they set that clock backwards 40 minutes. So when you get to the fourth tee, the clock will say your tee time (because everyone remembers their tee time, but not how long it should take them to play the first 3 holes). And each clock along the way has been set the same way, so on the 7th tee the clock was set 1 hour and 20 minutes backwards. So if the clock shows a time after your tee time you are too slow. The policy reminds you every three holes so you know early on when you get off track. The clocks are easy to see and has a sign underneath reminding you that it should say your tee time.
@ Jive – our best local muni does that on a few holes. I might adopt Brian's idea though – play like a turtle and let the marshal be your forecaddie who finds your drives, rakes the bunkers, then fetches your favourite snacks from the clubhouse. That sounds pretty sweet! And all for the same price as the people who are keeping pace? Even sweeter.
It's not that they're playing like a turtle, it's a lack of talent. No shot clock or heckling from rangers will get somebody that takes 8+ strokes a hole back on pace. If they need help, then help them, otherwise you're not growing the game and your not maximizing the courses potential for income. You're going to piss off one group of the other. The spotting/yardage suggestions are even more appropriate if your course has 1-2 holes that tend to be the bottleneck. Just park a ranger on those holes doing nothing but spotting drives and giving yardages. It's worked at my club.
Sooner or later, casual golf is going to have to move to a 9 hole format to keep up with the new modern lifestyle that is becoming more of the norm. Personally, I would love it if my 5 hour round took 4 hours, however the sad reality is that even 4 hours is a huge time when you are trying to balance work and family. I think that 2 hours is kind of a sweet spot as far as scheduling/time commitment goes, around the same time commitment as watching a movie or playing a few sets of tennis. A recreational activity that takes 2 hours is something that can be done on a regular basis, weekly or even multiple times a week. A recreational activity that takes half a day (4-5 hours) is just not something that most people have the luxury of enjoying on any sort of a regular basis anymore. Obviously, we all have varying schedules and time commitments, so opinions may vary widely. I would personally much rather play 9 holes at a relaxed pace than play 18 holes in a rush and be shepherded around by a crotchety old marshal.
The USGA can determine an acceptable pace for any given course. If a group is meeting that pace, especially on a busier weekend, and the group behind them is playing with their tails on fire, and there's no more than a hole or two ahead of them, they should be left alone, IMO. If they're not meeting that pace, then that should be addressed.
If courses want to get serious about speed of play then they should teach rangers to go beyond policing and start aiding, especially groups that lack talent/experience (which is most often the cause of delays). Spot their drives, drive them to the next tee or their ball(if they're walking), carry a GPS and get them a distance quickly, ask them what they want to eat/drink at turn and have it ready for them, whatever it takes to get that group caught back up to the pace, or the group in front of them. Then move on to the next group in line that is falling behind.
I like the suggestions Brian makes and I would add to those with even raking the traps for players especially if they go from one fairway bunker to the next. Most of the marshals where I play spend their day riding around to the various water hazards fishing out balls for themselves. Too many men play tees way above their skill level also and fall behind at the #1 tee.
* can't
Some people (not me of course) have never had to play quickly. They've never had to keep up with quicker players in the group of get left behind. I don't see a long term solution for slow play. It used to be possible to avoid the turtles by playing very early, but now I play more at twilight. I played more partial rounds in 2012 due to running out of time than the previous 20 years combined. People say, "if you can devote a 6 hour block to golf then don't play golf". Okly dokly – I'll go find something else to do – some place else to spend my money. My wife was suggesting we get a newer canoe and that's about the same price as a membership. Decision made!
A golf course can't take green fees or membership dues from players and then force them to skip holes or play faster. If all golfers learned etiquette before they learned a swing, there would be no slow play. The PLAYER needs to understand what their position is on the golf course and how to react. Time can only be lost on a full golf course. So, if the first group of the day plays in 5 hours, then every other group is doomed to play in 5 hours or more. It just takes one group to spoil the day.
For many non-golfers, four hours is too long. For many of us avid golfer, four hour rounds are a dream, a thing which existed in better times. Reading the stories of slow play in this article raised my blood pressure and took me back to some very bad memories of waiting for slow players.
God surely has a special place for men like Gene. Every course needs an old codger (and I say that with the utmost respect and admiration) like Gene to straighten slow groups out. Without them, Golf will continue to hemmorage players and more and more course will operate in the red till they shut down. Seriously, number one issue golf needs to address is not freaking anchored putting, COR on drivers, the ball – its pace of play.

Dustin Diamond Net Worth: Dustin Diamond is an American actor, musician, director, former pornstar and stand-up comedian who has a net worth of $500 thousand dollars. An actor and comedian, Dustin Diamond is most widely recognized for his role as Screech on the television show "Saved by the Bell" and its subsequent spin-off series. Since the various "Saved by the Bell" programs ended, he has been working primarily as a stand-up comedian and reality show star.
Born Dustin Neil Diamond on January 7, 1977, in San Jose, California, US, he first tasted the flavor of fame with his performance on the TV show Saved by the Bell. He was only a teenager when he played Samuel "Screech" Powers on the NBC hit show that aired on NBC from its beginning as Good Morning, Miss Bliss (1988–89) through its final incarnation, Saved by the Bell: The New Class (1994–2000). Six years after the end of the show, Diamond made news for being featured in a sex tape, which he directed and released on his own, titled Screeched – Saved by the Smell. Later on, he continued to star in some TV reality shows, such as Celebrity Fit Club, as well as he has been working as a stand up comedian for a couple of years. But in the meantime, he also had a number of failed real estate ventures following his time with the Saved by the Bell franchise. When it comes to the big screen, he appeared in several notable films like Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star (2003), and he lent his voice for various cartoon franchises. This actor, who was surrounded by the Saved by the Bell stardom, didn't entirely succeed to live up to his full potential.

Fun Facts
- Although we view Mozart as a musical genius and of almost god-like stature, he was very earthy at times. Letters to his cousin Bäsle contained what we might call bathroom humour. Mozart maintained a lifelong obssession with bodily functions.
- Mozart seldom had anything good to say about contemporary composers. Haydn was an exception, however.
- In the morning when Mozart had to wake up, his father would go to the piano and begin playing a piece of music. However, Leopold would not play the whole piece through; he would play the second last chord, thus leaving the piece unresolved. Mozart would hear this and run downstairs and play the final chord. Today, this is jokingly refered to as "Mozart's Alarm Clock".
- The 1984 film entitled Amadeus told the story of the life of Mozart. However, this film is known to be extremely historically inacurate... and highly humourous.
- Ludwig van Beethoven wrote his own early compositions inspired by Mozart.
- Mozart's full baptismal name is Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart.
- He was very fond of elegant clothing.
- Mozart made rude comments about the Archbishop of Salzburg (in private, of course). After moving to Vienna in 1781, he refused to engage in that city's musical politics.
- Mozart enjoyed billiards and dancing. He also kept many pets: a canary, a starling, a dog, and a horse for recreational riding.

2 Servers in Multiple Mode - Move Mail Domain from A (master) to B?
I have two servers in a multi-server setup. Both have mail services enabled. Server A is the master. I want to move a mail domain (including mailboxes and aliases) from A to B (and also B to A).
This first scenario (A to B) is useful for going from a single to a multi server setup.
The second, (B to A) would be useful if you wanted to decommission a server and move it's content back to the master.
Can I? How? I've searched before posting.

Investors are hoping for a better day on Wall Street, following Monday's 326-point drop of the Dow Jones industrial average. It was the biggest one-day decline for the blue-chip index since June 2013.
The Standard & Poor's lost 40 points, and the NASDAQ dropped 2.6 percent.
Meanwhile, manufacturing dropped to an eight-month low. One reason? A report showed that U.S. manufacturing barely expanded last month, dropping to an eight-month low.
The weather also factored into the economy last month. As record-cold and snow brought small businesses to a grinding halt, investors worried it would spill over to the job market.
Still, many stock watchers took the market's decline in stride, calling Monday's action just a recalibration following record-highs at the end of last year.
"Based on today's close, the S&P 500 is now in a pullback mode, meaning it's declined between five and 10 percent. My belief is that we probably won't go beyond the 10 percent zone," Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist for S&P Capital IQ, predicted.
Frank Davis, director of trading at LEK Securities. agreed.
"I think we are in correction phase and the bias will be to the downside for a while longer," he said. "It would make sense to see a healthy pullback after last year. Air has to come out of the market."
Meanwhile, fresh signs of economic weakness in China also weighed on the minds of investors.
Any signs of slowdown in China's economy, the world's second largest, could spell bad news because it's a key trading partner for developing countries such as South Africa and Indonesia.
For now, most analysts think we are only seeing a temporary pullback in prices that's not over yet.
"I think investors are now worried that global economic growth could be hindered," Stovall said.
But analysts still expect stocks to rise in the longer term. The recent market drop means the typical American family's retirement savings has lost about $6,000 in the past month.

Several independent news websites have been blocked in the former Soviet republic of Belarus, where the government exerts close control of news media.
Iraqi Kurdish fighters, backed by U.S.-led coalition airstrikes against the Islamic State group, pushed their way Sunday into the town of Sinjar, captured by the Sunni militants last summer.
A gunman who vowed online to shoot two "pigs" in retaliation for the police chokehold death of Eric Garner ambushed two New York City officers in a patrol car and fatally shot them in broad daylight Saturday before running to a subway station and killing himself, authorities said.

William Lineberry Wright
Pastor FBC Hillsborough, 1880 - 1885
On May 1, 1879 the church extended a call "to Bro. Wright of Wake Forest to take charge of this church as its pastor and the clerk to correspond with Bro. Wright on this subject." Although Wright moderated a church conference on August 24, 1879, it was not until February 1880 that a "call for the pastoral services of Rev. W L Wright was adopted and the church clerk ordered to write him immediately and place the letter in the hands of Bro. C. Durham to be forwarded by him in connection with a similar letter call from the Graham Church." It was also noted that Wright "entered upon his labors as pastor of the church the 4th Sabbath in May 1880." He presented a letter from Wake Forest Church and was received into membership on June 27, 1880. A committee was established on November 23, 1882 "to raise funds to build a parsonage" and on February 19, 1885 the minutes indicate that lumber was resold and the funds were given to Wright for work done on the parsonage. In addition to the parsonage, the windows were repaired, hymnals were purchased and work on the (outdoors) Baptistery was completed. Wright offered his resignation as pastor on September 24, 1885 to "take effect after services on the 2nd Sunday in October. After remarks by the brethren expressing regrets to part with him, his resignation was accepted."1
William Lineberry Wright was born Aug. 31, 1849. He graduated from Wake Forest College with a BA degree in 1879.2 He also attended Louisville Theological Seminary. He married Fredonia (Freddie) Pleasant who was born on July 11, 1856 in Roxboro, Person County, NC.3 The date of their marriage could not be found on the Internet. While pastor of the Hillsboro church, Wright was also pastor of Rose of Sharon in Durham and a home missionary to a newly organized church in Swepsonville. According to Proceedings of the NC Baptist State Convention, Wright was pastor of the Reidsville Baptist Church from 1885 to 1890. While there, he was instrumental in guiding Dr. Leonard G. Broughton, a physician, into the ministry. Broughton became a famous international preacher, spending two years in London prior to the First World War. 4
In 1890, Wright returned to the area to serve as pastor at Cane Creek, Mars Hill and Mt. Hermon Baptist Churches.5 In 1895, he was listed as pastor of the Leigh Street Baptist Church in Richmond, VA.6 In 1896, he was invited to conduct a revival at Wake Forest and was noted as "a preacher of much eloquence and power." 2
Wright was only 41 years old when he died on September 28, 1900. He died in Troy, NC but his funeral was held in Reidsville, NC the next day. He was eulogized as "one of the best men to live in our midst… he endeared himself to all … and was one of the most popular pastors the city has had."7 His wife, Fredonia, died on Mar. 2, 1938 making her 82 years old at her death.3 They are both buried in the Greenview Cemetery in Reidsville, NC.

Eddie Winner: Best Web Site, Association/Non-Profit, Circ. 6x+/yr
At just 18 months old, AmericanRifleman.com has won an Eddie for Best Web Site Content. ItŌĆÖs also stepping out of the shadow of its 125-year-old companion magazine, American Rifleman, to present a more accessible face of the National Rifle Association.
While American Rifleman goes to nearly half of the NRAŌĆÖs 4 million members, the goal of AmericanRifleman.com is to reach beyond the NRAŌĆÖs membership (the site does not feature a member ID restriction). ŌĆ£We want viewers to be able to share our content with as many people as possible and promote the positive side of the shooting sports,ŌĆØ says Ann Smith, editor-in-chief of NRA E-Media.
The Web site eschews much of the political content that fills the magazine and instead focuses on the consumer side and training component of the industry. While magazine articles are often re-purposed to the Web site, some of the most popular areas of the site include original content in the Photo Gallery and Video Channels. Highlights of the past year include the ŌĆ£Eight Awesomely Bad Shooting TipsŌĆØ and ŌĆ£Coolest Movie GunsŌĆØ galleries. ŌĆ£This was lighthearted fare that viewers had some fun with and could really engage in conversation with our ŌĆścommentsŌĆÖ tool,ŌĆØ says Smith.
Much of the content on AmericanRifleman.com enjoys a long tail of building readership over time, with articles such as its ŌĆ£A Look BackŌĆØ series (which includes subjects such as ŌĆ£The History of the .357 MagnumŌĆØ).
The site generates about 600,000 pageviews a month and Smith says she wants to double that by this time next year with a new focus on social media.
ŌĆ£We have no way of knowing whether our visitors are NRA members, but we hope that if they are not members, they will join. We offer a direct link to the NRA member sign-up page on the site, where viewers can learn about all of the benefits of NRA membership,ŌĆØ says Smith.

Some thoughts about the U20 Euro in Bilbao

- 0May 20, '12 by LLLovelyWhile I love it, this article is missing something that most providers require in their professional reading, references. And statistics. And peer reviews. And...
Obviously, it is difficult to design a blind randomized trial to document low intervention birth. There is not a lot of money to be made in low intervention birth and therefore not a lot of money for such a study if it could be designed well.
Furthermore, most providers, including many midwives, are very focused on only what is within their comfort zones. Often those things are the ones from the peer reviewed journals and conferences. While I'm not against such things, they are the high tech things more often than not that are, or should be, geared towards higher risk patients who could benefit from such interventions. If someone, <ahem> such as an unassuming RN, were to suggest that the income might be just as good or even better if a particular mother was simply left alone, it usually goes over like a fart in church.

Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Montana — it's a geography lesson written in flames that greedily eat the heart out of the Rocky Mountain West. If that sounds too dramatic, come to the New Mexico village of Ruidoso and gaze at one of nature's hottest quirks: The vacation town is safe, perfectly intact, perched in a crescent of fire just three miles distant. The Little Bear fire around it has so far scorched 44,000 acres and destroyed nearly 300 structures.
In Colorado, Linda Steadman, a 62-year-old grandmother, died when her cabin was surrounded by the High Park fire. As many as 40,000 in nine states have been evacuated from fire danger, making this one of the worst wildfire seasons in decades.
Why? And who is to blame, if anyone? Steve Wilmeth, a fifth-generation New Mexico rancher, targets the U.S. Forest Service and its treatment of wildfire. Not the valiant fire crews who brave mortal danger to save lives and property, but desk-bound managers who violate the agency's original purposes of providing timber and grazing for the citizenry. He also blames the green purists who have devastated the firefighting infrastructure by driving its crews into extinction.
"When the Wilderness Act was passed in 1964," said Wilmeth, "there were 70 sawmills in New Mexico. Today there are none. We have zero loggers. The fire roads have all been ripped out to save nature. The fence lines have been torn down. Cattle and sheep that once cleared the fire-prone underbrush are banned. The water systems that foresters once built now run dry in forced disrepair. The firefighting infrastructure that we used to count on has been destroyed by environmentalist lawsuits. Now it's smoke jumpers and ground crews that walk to the fire, if they can. No wonder it's out of control. We've destroyed the controls."
Wilmeth's uncle, Bill Rice, is a 30-year veteran of the Forest Service, who retired from the position of deputy chief for administration.
"My specific concern is how the federal forests got in the shape they're currently in," Rice told me. From the 1890s onward, Rice explained, forest policy was to put out all fires. Then, however, the natural open, healthy stands grew jam-packed with fire survivors — more than two thousand trees crammed into a single acre. Nutrients were spread too thin, and groundwater transpired too fast. Only loggers kept the stands open.
When environmentalists sued the loggers out of existence and imposed the "let it burn" doctrine on forest managers, there was nothing to stop the fuel load from growing and waiting for a passing thunderstorm.
Rice said that's bad management. "The Forest Service is finding that they're spending entirely too much time policing disasters that are the result of the poor management," he said.
The era of litigation is turning a corner, said Mark Rey, former undersecretary of agriculture — boss of the chief of the U.S. Forest Service. "After a century of fire suppression and two decades of conflict, we have entered a decade of bigger and more devastating wildfires. You can blame it on too much fire suppression or on the conflict.
"But in the past ten years, about half of all new homes built were in the urban-wildland interface. There are more fires to put out with old rules. There has been no commensurate growth in the primary road network for evacuation or fire control. Communities are struggling to form new alliances with state and federal fire authorities.
"We have all wanted a nice home in the woods," he concluded. "Now many of us have it, a home in the fire-prone woods. The future of wildfire control is now in the communities, places that you're not willing to see burn."
Ron Arnold is executive vice president of the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise.

The Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver had fans cheering and black-and-gold towels waving as he samba-ed his way to a victory as the season 12 winner of "Dancing with the Stars" ahead of fellow finalists Kirstie Alley and Chelsea Kane.
"Starting this competition, I never thought I'd make it to the finals," the always-humble NFL player said upon being named winner. "I owe it all to Kym, who's the most amazing teacher."
Ward, who originally performed the high-energy samba during "personal story" week, dedicated his dance to his mother, who sat front-row in the audience during the finale dances.
"Mr. Irresistible" ran up to give his proud mom a peck on the cheek, which she brushed away, to the glee of the football star and the crowd.

MTV Shows

"Hines, in all honestly, you're the MVP of 'Dancing with the Stars,'" judge Carrie Ann gushed. "You're nothing but consistency and focus ... you really dance with heart."
Outspoken Bruno appeared equally smitten by Ward's charms on the dance floor.
"You're a killer when you play your sport, and a charming dazzler on the dance floor," he said earnestly. "We all fall in love."
Ward and Johnson, who wowed the judges consistently throughout the season with their infectious energy and noticeable chemistry, were favorites going into the finals, though they faced stiff competition from Alley and Kane.
"Kirstie, you're like a phoenix," Bruno said of the actress' physical and technical transformation throughout the season. "You cheating girl, you saved the best for last!"
Even the usually stoic Len admitted that runner-up Kirstie had "overcome setbacks, improved weaknesses" and ultimately "produced [her] best dance yet."
Disney star Kane, who took home third place, was visibly upset by her early ouster, but the judges remained big fans of the bubbly actress.
"A lot of people may not have known who you are," Carrie Ann began, "but performances like this are why everyone will know who you are now. You're a very talented, artistic, beautiful, graceful woman."

Bubba Assuages Hillary's Ego While Dick Cheney Pulls His Levers of Evil
The Clintons have had a very busy week. After returning home from North Korea, Bill Clinton had the time to appear at an event in Harlem promoting Zagat's first-ever guide to Harlem restaurants. After leaving the Oval Office, Clinton set up his headquarters in the New York City neighborhood, where he has become one of the area's most cherished residents. At the Zagat fête, President Clinton praised his wife Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's 10-day, seven-nation tour of Africa, which included boogying in Kenya and her snapping at an unsuspecting Congolese student. He was mistranslated as having asked about her husband's opinion on China, when he'd wanted Obama's views.
The highlight of Hillary Clinton's trip must have been when former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton came up in a town-hall meeting. CNN's Fareed Zakaria asked Hillary if Chelsea had considered the generous dowry offer by a Kenyan man in 2000 of 40 goats and 20 cows for her marital vows. Clinton promised to convey the message to Chelsea, but if I were that friendly Kenyan man, I wouldn't hold my breath. It's hard to store more than 12 goats in most New York City apartments, where Chelsea resides.Some people just can't be happy for a true American hero. After single-handedly freeing the two American journalists who were detained in North Korea, President Clinton is under fire for blurring the line between private citizen and government employee, and taking advantage of a vast web of shadowy associates. Uh, who cares? What person in power doesn't have a web of powerful, mischievous friends?
It seems that our curmudgeon former vice president Dick Cheney may bash former president George W. Bush in his upcoming memoir. Sources close to the veep claim that Cheney thinks Bush went soft on him in his second term by refusing to treat terror suspects to the C.I.A.'s own water park, closing secret C.I.A. prisons, and even seeking congressional approval to spy domestically. The audacity of W! If only he had listened to his sidekick—then we'd all have some spook in Virginia reading our Gmail correspondences with that Starbucks barista.

Friday Roundup 1/5/07Author: swampkitty05 // Category: Friday Round Up, Recipes
Short week for me because I posted a roundup so recently – but still lots of good posts in the few days since then.
Last week, Dispatch readers voted the Cheesecake Factory as the best dessert in town – while I agree that they have excellent cheesecake, I would have gone with Pistachio myself. This week, they'd like your vote on the best Japanese food in Columbus. Voice your opinion by Monday to enter to win a $25 restaurant gift card.
This week, the recipes I've kept to try at a later date are Hoppin' John from A Mingling of Tastes, Walnut and Chocolate Rugelach from Alpineberry, Baked Penne with Sausage and Ricotta from Chez Mégane, Meatballs in Saffron-Almond Sauce from Chicken Fried Gourmet, Drunken Pasta from Cream Puffs in Venice, Curry Chicken and Broccoli Casserole from Cumin & Coriander, Pasta with Swiss Chard and Onion from dinner for one, Meyer Lemon Bites from Erin's Kitchen, Fondue Mac and Cheese from Married…with Dinner, and Beef Bourguignon from Winter Skies, Kitchen Aglow.
In educational posts, this week, Brys at Cookthink shows us how to prep (and use) fennel, and Food Chronicles gives us a primer on spices, and Kathryn from Limes & Lycopene shows us what five servings of vegetables actually looks like, and in the same vein, Megnut shows us what 200 calories of food looks like. Definitely enlightening.
To say that this post from a fellow foodie pissed me off is an understatement. Why don't you just round us all up and ship us off to an island where you don't have to see us like they used to do with the lepers? I'm not a waitress, but don't care if my waitperson is fat/skinny/whatever, as long as they are friendly and competent.
I'm having refrigerator lust over Sylvie's new fridge. When I finally get around to remodeling my kitchen, that's the model I want. Definitely.
I was just over at Trader Joe's a couple of days ago, and I didn't see these! I want some, but don't want to make a special trip to TJ's to get them because I know I'll end up leaving with way more than those…
Until next week, folks…

Hope you like the Meyer lemon bites—my husband (unbeknownest to me) took mine into his office, so I need to make another batch soon!!
