From Crossan to Spong: +Johnston Cares [Not] for His Sheep
Presented without comment (not even a "we tried to tell you" for those who still were not convinced):
"A New Plan for Good Friday" | by Bishop John Shelby Spong
Reclaiming Good Friday as a major focus of both Lent and the Christian story will be at the center of my life this year, when I spend that day in Richmond, Virginia, at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. This is the church I served as Rector from 1969-1976 and it is a church to which I am still deeply and emotionally connected, even some thirty four years after leaving that position….
On an average day in the work week, within a six block radius of St. Paul's an estimated 100,000 people will be at work in their offices. So through the years, St. Paul's has offered noonday services, concerts and forums, to which many in this working population have been drawn. This ministry is uniquely focused during the season of Lent, when a noontime half-hour preaching service is held during the forty days of that season. A luncheon is served in St. Paul's before and after the service, which requires more than 300 volunteers a week, to enable people to attend worship and have lunch within the span of an hour. People from a wide range of Christian traditions come to these services and the daily attendance will range from 100 to 700 people….
The traditional pattern of the past was a three hour [Good Friday] service scheduled from noon to 3:00 p.m., designed to mark the time when Jesus was believed to be dying on the cross [sic]....
This year, St. Paul's in Richmond decided to try to reverse that trend. A church in the heart of a vibrant downtown filled with people at work might be able to revive this tradition and thus serve all of the suburban churches, where fewer and fewer people are present during the hours of the working day. If successful, a church in the heart of every city in America might follow suit. So these are St. Paul's plans.
First, the three-hour service is planned as a series of six thirty minute self-contained units, making it possible and convenient for people to come and go from work on the hour or half hour. While some will attend the entire three hours, most will fit their Good Friday observance into their workday schedules.
Second, each of the thirty minute services will include concert level Passiontide music….
Third, the Bishop of Virginia, the Rt. Rev. Shannon Johnston [emphasis added], will preside over the entire service, assisted by the Rev. Wallace Adams-Riley, the current rector of St. Paul's. The presence of the Bishop gives the service a larger appeal beyond the boundaries of St. Paul's congregation….
My role in this service will be to deliver six meditations, one in each of the six thirty minute services. As we live through these three hours, I will seek to invite people into the meaning of the Passion story as it was told by the author of the Fourth Gospel that we call John. Specifically, I will try to move the Christian Church away from that threadbare Good Friday format of the past that focused on what was called "The Seven Last Words from the Cross." Those "Words" were never anything more than an attempt to force the gospels into a blended narrative, which makes a mockery out of current biblical scholarship. The overwhelming probability is that the dying Jesus never uttered any one of these "seven last words." The absolute certainty is that he never uttered all of them….
When John, the final gospel, was written (95-100), he dismissed all of the previous "words" recorded in the earlier gospels and added three new ones never heard of before: "Woman, behold your son; son, behold your mother;" "I thirst," and "It is finished." "The Seven Last Words" thus represent a forced unity that the gospels never had and they are, we now know, quite inauthentic. My hope will be that in future Good Friday services the Passion story will be developed according to Mark one year, Matthew the next year, Luke the third year, John the fourth year and then continue the rotation. The authenticity of the individual gospel accounts will thus be restored to Good Friday.
I hope this service sets an example that brings a new biblical understanding of the Passion of Jesus and that it restores Good Friday to a central place in the Church's life….
Well, I will allow this one comment: all this fascination about the drama of the Passion from an Episcopal bishop who does not believe in the physical Resurrection, the Atonement, the Trinity, the Virgin Birth, the Star of Bethlehem, the betrayal of Jesus by Judas, or even that Jesus spoke and read Greek. So Bishop Johnston must think that his flock needs to make no connection between Good Friday and Easter, because according to John Shelby Spong, P.B.K., M.Div., D.D. (hon. causa), no such connection ever existed. Good Friday is for black and Bach; Easter is for frocks and flowers.
Carry on.

Errr, right. So Bishop Spong *hopes* to get 0.1% to 0.7% of the relevant group into the church, over a series of six short services.
Given his usual track record with hopes, I expect the actual number will be much less.
I wonder, do TEC and Bishop Spong really comprehend how utterly irrelevant they have become to modern America?
Someone so unlearned as to think that Jesus, whose hometown was a morning walk from the great Greco-Roman city of Sephoris, which was being built during Jesus' childhood, whose quotes from the Hebrew Bible were nearly all from the Septuagint (which could be a clue when he was speaking Greek), obviously is not qualified on an academic level to say much about Christian doctrine, either. But then, the thoughts of limousine-liberal nonbelievers about the Christian faith aren't so edifying, anyway.
So "current biblical scholarship" is the object of our devotion. These jokers (the clergy presenting this stuff) all swore their belief that "the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, and contain all things necessary to salvation."
Kyrie Eleison
I am ashamed of my city that the heretic and blasphemer Spong will be at St. Paul's; a beautiful church now under the pall of TEC and financially supported through the liberal guilt of white people of heterosexual privilege, some of whom may actually arrive by limousine. I noticed they do not name the readers. I assume that the esteemed elder RINO statesman Linwood Holton will be the first reader and his daughter, wife of "Timmy" Kaine, will be reader three. This is interesting since the Kaines are Roman Catholic. Well, things seem to be holding true to the often told apocryphal joke in Richmond - "there are no shades of gray in Richmond, the politics is all black and white"
P.S. Is the Rev. Brian McClaren listed as preacher earlier in Holy Week, Mr. Emergent Church McClaren? Oh boy, what a week they're going to have!
Oh, heavens, leave us not make a mockery of current Biblical scholarship! Though it's perfectly okay to make a mockery of those dumb bunnies over the past two thousand years who were so stupid as to think that the Seven Last Words had any meaning, reality or value.
So what will Bishop Spong be preaching in his bite-sized servicettes for busy working downtown people?
"This season - which our best scholarship tells us was probably appropriated from the local and ethnic traditions of native cultures by the hegemonic imperialism of crude state-enforce Christianity when it was corrupted away from its pristine sources by fundamentalist zealots seeking temporal power and influence by means of a tawdry bargain with the oppressive state apparatus - this season, we commemorate or rather, we choose to remember a man executed by that same coercive state apparatus. A revolutionary, a forward thinker, a threat to the dominant religious and political paradigms which is why they colluded in his murder.
A man who may or may not have existed in the first place, since modern scholarship is uncertain on that point. Anyway, we are here in this place to speak and hear his words, if he existed to say them. And even if he did exist, he may not have said these particular words in part or even at all, or indeed he may not even have said anything like them. Current scholarship inclines to think that later narrators, as the cult developed around this figure which might be mythic, inserted phrases and whole speeches invented or taken from pre-existing representative mythic figures into what came to be called the 'Gospels' - a project intended to force a narrative structure onto the life (if he lived) of this man (if he was a man) called Jesus of Nazareth (if he came from Nazareth or was called Jesus, both of which are disputed points).
So to sum up, my aim is to restore the authenticity of the individual Gospel accounts by telling you they are probably contradictory early attempts at fiction, with no reliable record of anything said by the alleged Jesus from Nazareth who very likely didn't exist, and certainly if He did, was only a special kind of human killed by the status quo of His day and most certainly did not rise from the death, which is an idea stolen wholesale by the creators of the Christ cult when they were appealing to the wider audience of the Classical world by taking motifs from the 'dying and rising god' myths and applying them to the real mortal man who was the figurehead of their mystery cult. Presuming there was a real mortal man in the first place, as I have already pointed out.
In conclusion, there isn't really anything important, valuable or helpful in these funny old stories, but they give me an excuse to stand here and talk to you while my former church puts on a concert of proper quality classical church music, not that Haugen and Haas rubbish the Romanists have to put up with."
And that's why people should give up their lunch hour to come and listen to this!
"As we live through these three hours, I will seek to invite people into the meaning of the Passion story as it was told by the author of the Fourth Gospel that we call John."
Ah, verily spoken with a characteristic we call pomposity.
Were his character tainted by the smallest mote of integrity or honesty, he no doubt would have chosen an alternative profession. Yet alas. Arrogance and confusion in competition with irrelevance - the archetype of a 1970's Episcopal bishop.
Let's see now. The details of the crucifixion of Jesus were made up and added to the fourth gospel in order to impose a theology on an otherwise meaningless event. So if by the miracle of scholarship we remove these details, we are left with what? Enough material for six meditations? Good Friday?
Father, forgive us.
Luke 23:34
When I was a curate—a long,long time ago—my rector and I took turns with meditation on the Last Words. It happened that one of his was "My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?" He introduced it by saying, "As Jesus hung on the cross, He was meditating on the Psalms . . ." I was so shocked I had a hard time not jumping up and shouting out my objection. His statement certainly belied all that we know about the painful cruelty of crucifixion, and betrayed my Rector's apparent Modalism.
Johnson does not believe that "current biblical scholarship" should be mocked but then he proceeds to mock the words of the Apostle John as they have been handed down to us through Scripture.
Bishop Spong's egoism continues to amaze: He alone is going to "reclaim" Good Friday, and "move" the Church away from its "threadbare" Good Friday traditions by a hand full of meditations during a mere three hours on one Friday afternoon in Richmond (never mind that Good Friday needs no reclamation, and the Church's Good Friday traditions aren't "threadbare" at all).
Students of the Bible have known for a long, long time that each of the four Gospels has its own theological perspective on the life, death, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Furthermore, Bible students, have also long known that the context which permits one to understand these varying perspectives of each Gospel is, precisely, knowledge of the other Gospels, as well as the entire canon of Scripture.
One studies the perspective of each one of the Gospels concerning the Lord Jesus in order to understand better the whole of Christ's life, death, and resurrection, as well as his person and natures. That is why, of course, the Sunday Lectionary specifies that the crucifixion narrative should be read on Palm Sunday from each of the first three Gospels in a three year cycle. The crucifixion narrative from John is, of course, read on Good Friday. What Spong wants done is already done by the Lectionary on Palm Sunday and Good Friday, of course.
Bishop Spong seems to relish "breaking down" the biblical material concerning the Lord Jesus into its component parts (not just books, but, particularly, the traditions behind the individual texts of Scripture), but he forgets that the whole point of that enterprise is to make it possible to reassemble it all again in a way that is richer and enables a better, fuller understanding of the Son of God and Savior. Spong seems to think that the breaking down of the material is the point of biblical studies, not the building up of the material and our knowledge and love of the Lord Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, there are many clerics who make this same mistake, and, hence, leave a trail of puzzled and distressed Christians behind them, because such clerics don't put the biblical material about the Lord Jesus back together again, and explain the "big picture". They forget that the Church has claimed from early times that it was the whole canon as we have received it, not the material behind the canonical books, that is the record of the revelation of God in Jesus Christ.
I am always amazed at the level of intelligence clearly evident by the contributors on this site—and by the amount of time spent properly castigating the evermore deconstructionist efforts of the Western Anglican Church….But at some point, we have to ask—to what end…ECUSA will not be shamed into orthodoxy. Certainly not by the choir singing to the choir. What is the plan here and how does it comport with the Lord's bigger plan? I, for one, think he does have a bigger plan and that the deconstructionists are properly (maybe even excessively) playing their role. So that is my question of the day…What is the proper response for each of us in our own way? What is the proper venue for your energy? How are we growing Jesus' church?
Simple Man,
A fair question.
Firstly, let's keep this in context. To me, posting on blogs is a ministry I am called to. It is a part-time ministry (very part-time).
Every person who posts here has a ministry somewhere else, that takes up most of their time. For me, it is being a lay person in a parish in Australia. Tjmcmahon is a member of a parish in ACNA, somewhere in the frozen part of the USA I believe ...
Sure, but who is trying to do that? Christians are first and foremost commanded to be a *witness* to the truth. How that witness works out is the Lord's business, not ours.
Take Elijah for example: He believed that he was the only witness left in Israel, and that its redemption was hopeless. But the Lord told him to witness anyway. In fact, there were many things Elijah was not aware of: one of them being that there were in fact 7,000 other faithful witnesses. So Elija's witness was to (a) the wicked in Israel; (b) the compromisers in Israel; (c) the faithful in Israel. But his witness also extended to the same categories in the "righteous" kingdom of Judah to the south - because it also contained (a) wicked; (b) compromisers; (c) faithful. In the end, the Lord would destroy both, but also preserve a remnant from both, who followed Elijah's teachings along with the rest of the prophets.
AND, Elijah's ministry went even further, to the completely unchurched. His words and actions, and those of his anointed successor Elisha, were heard and feared in pagan lands.
One last point, in case it is not obvious, Elijah's witness to Judah has direct application to a specific ministry which Stand Firm has been called upon to exercise lately, being witness to those in ACNA. Christian witness as seen in the Scriptures always has a two-fold purpose - witness to those outside the church, and witness to those in it.
Please disregard my last post, I misread this article (copywrited 2013). I mistakenly assumed that this communication was sent by Bishop Shannon Johnson as the current Bishop of Virginia. Now that I have read it more carefully I realize that the article was written by Bishop John Shelby Spong who is planning and implementing the Good Friday service and that Bishop Johnson has been assigned the task of presiding over the entire service.
Michael A- Springtime here, and most of the snowdrifts are melted down under 8', noonday temps are above zero (well, in Fahrenheit). In point of fact, I am more of a hermit of ACNA in the frozen north, as the closest congregation is hours away. I did help out with a startup downstate a few years ago, but seldom have the opportunity to visit.
Simple Man- I suppose if there were an Ordinariate parish within 100 miles, I might join one too. But for the time being, I think perhaps the Lord still has plans for me in the Anglican Communion. Traditionalists in the AC are clearly under attack from the "Open Evangelicals" who pretend orthodoxy, but for whom everything seems to be a "second order issue." They worry so much about unity that they are rapidly becoming unitarians.
If anything we say or do helps one person turn to Christ, or strengthens the resolve of a bishop or priest "under siege" then it is time well spent. And remember that things written and discussed here are read in faraway parts of the world, and it lets them know that the work of the Church continues here, in spite of efforts by the leadership of TEC to put a stop to it.
#7 - Martha - great job. I certainly couldn't have put it any better!
Being a native of Richmond, I consider Spong's tenure at St Paul's and his upcoming presentation (I would not honour it by calling it a sermon) to be a worse occurrence for the capital of the Old Dominion than Grant's siege of the city at the end of the War Between the States, or the conflagration that engulfed the city in April 1865.
Betty See (#23 and #28), please accept my apologies. I should have been much clearer in posting that the text of the article stemmed from Bishop Spong, while the invitation to Spong to preach at St. Paul's came from Bishop Johnston, as canonically it must.
So—do not have any regrets: your remarks in #23 above, addressed to +Johnston, are indeed addressed to him—through his heretical invitee, Bishop Spong. You are right on the mark! Thank you for commenting.
BTW I have vastly more respect for Michael Goulder - one of the NT scholars upon whose scholarship Spong has sometimes drawn. Goulder was a very lovely man, a brilliant scholar whose work was trailblazing and occasionally considered slightly eccentric. When he lost his faith, he resigned his orders. He was asked why he didn't attempt to save something from the flotsam and jetsam of his once traditional faith. Without God, he said, it was questionable if there was anything left to save.
But for Spong, his entire routine is dependent upon being court jester to the wrecked church of a wrecked faith. It's a sorrowful and pathetic sight.
Driver8, that sounds like a cue for a poem:
John Henderson, an unbeliever,
Not so his sister, Mary Lunn,
And when she met her brother Jack
The Christians, a declining band,
Which came to pass: for Mary Lunn
While Henderson, I'm glad to state,
Whereby he fell in a decline,
The moral is (it is indeed!)
["The Example", H. Belloc]
#7- I could swear you were just copying the minutes of the last meeting of the International Fellowship of Biblical Scholars!
I guess the thing that always gets me about Spong is that absolutely nothing he says is original to him. He is simply parroting the works of Crossan, Borg, etc. He's not a biblical scholar, even a liberal one. Neither has he brought anything new to the table as a theologian. Nothing he offers is anything other than the recycled deconstructionist theology of Tillich and Bultmann. It's amazing how so many people who demand a new post-modern gospel take all of their cues from 100- 150 years ago.
It would be somewhat analogous to me trying to make a name for myself by trumpeting my third rate understanding of the works of NT Wright or John Stott.

A view of Aging Cigar by Min Ron Nee. Part 1 of 3
Just finished a Monte 2 from 2002. An the mysterious 'Granny face powder' showed herself in the third stage.... the same character of a Nannuo. As Salsero pointed out on teachat regarding the same encounter: "...Bill had a very strong impression from his childhood of the aroma of Granny Face Powder which he remembers as a flour-like Coty powder that could fill a room it was so light. For a while he thought he detected some of that aroma, but it was only one of so many fleeting smells and tastes that we were pretty bowled over by the tea and after losing track of the number of infusions (all quite short) we were too tea drunk to continue...."
I would like to share a dialog with cigar enthusiasts and pureh aficionados based on some personal experiences and facts, regarding these two subjects on aging Cigar and tea and how they changes the profile in the coming posts.

Alice Eve's Character in STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS Revealed
by Matt Goldberg Posted 2 years, 9 days ago
Today, we have yet another sign that the villain (Benedict Cumberbatch) in Star Trek Into Darkness will probably be Khan. While we reported yesterday that the villain's name was "John Harrison", it's doubtful that's the character's real name. We also know that the footage that was shown to journalists had various cues like bits from Michael Giacchino's score playing off the music from Wrath of Khan, and the Japanese trailer has a very familiar visual at the end. Last night, Steve was at a press event for the movie, and learned that Alice Eve will play Carol Marcus. For those who need a reminder, Carol Marcus was a character in Wrath of Khan. Played by Bibi Besch, the character invented the Genesis Device, and she also had a fling with Kirk. Granted, it's unlikely that the new alternate timeline would exactly mimic the original timeline, but I'm baffled as to why she's even there in the first place. Why make all the callbacks to Wrath of Khan? Why live in that inescapable shadow?
If you haven't seen it yet, hit the jump to check out the latest trailer. The film also stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, Zoe Saldana, John Cho, Simon Pegg, Peter Weller, and Noel Clarke. Star Trek Into Darkness opens in 3D on May 17, 2013.

December 22 2014 Latest news:
Paul Geater
Monday, February 24, 2014
Network Rail engineers spent Sunday repairing a landslip at Brantham, south of Ipswich, which had delayed main line rail services since last Tuesday.
There was already engineering work planned in Essex, so the line closure was extended to Ipswich on Sunday at short notice to allow the landslip to be repaired.
Trains are now able to run normally on the Great Eastern main line.
Peter Lensink, Operations Director for Greater Anglia said: "The work to quickly repair the landslip that occurred at Brantham has been an excellent example of our team working in close partnership with Network Rail colleagues to ensure extensive repairs were carried out quickly and efficiently."
Richard Schofield, Network Rail route managing director said: "The partnership between Network Rail and Greater Anglia demonstrates clearly how our respective teams worked closely to repair the landslip at Brantham quickly, with minimal disruption to passenger services."

Suoi Tien Mui Ne Resort
What we say:
This compact resort sits on a very pretty stretch of Mui Ne sand. Owned by a Saigon family, their original property was 5km away from their current position and when they decided to move they totally dismantled their bungalows and brought them with them. The deluxe chalets are duplex and set right by the beach, though they do not really take full advantage of the beachfront views. Spotlessly clean, the beds are firm and the rooms have air-con, with mosquito nets and fridge. The beachfront restaurant is ideally placed with good views. The cheapest bungalows are wooden and rattan jobs which were moved from the old resort, and are located back off the beach. These ones are a tad overpriced.

Best bungallows beachside
You're unlikely to find better bungallows at any of the other resorts on the beach side of the road. For $15 you get a decent room with own bathroom and porch.
Hong Di and others may be 3 dollars cheaper, but unlike those Suoi Tien has a lots of well kept deck chairs on one of the widest spots of beach, a great (cheap) restaurant, and even a swimming pool.
Much better to pay the tiny bit extra and be served $0.50 smoothies out on the beach than be fighting for one of the only 2 broken deck chairs.
The staff are fantastic. We caught a 1am bus, and they let us stay and take a shower in an empty room (turned out to be one of the best) while we waited for the bus, without charging us for the extra night.

Dori's not surprised: Study says Seattle drivers are some of the worston August 28, 2014 @ 5:56 am
In their annual "Best Drivers Report," Seattle ranked 173rd out of 200 cities.
The report said Seattle drivers get into an accident every 7.4 years on average. Compare that to the top of the list, Fort Collins, Colorado where drivers get into an accident every 14.2 years on average.
The likelihood of having an accident in Seattle is about 36 percent greater than the national average, according to the report. And looking at their numbers, Seattle drivers are only getting worse. Seattle dropped 13 places in the rankings from 2013 to 2014.
KIRO Radio's Dori Monson says the only surprise about this year's ranking is that Seattleites rated as high as they did.
"I'm surprised that out of 200 cities we're ranked as the 27th worst. I'm surprised we're not higher."
Monson thinks Seattle drivers should rank among the worst because people here are passive aggressive on the roads.
He complains about the people who block the left lane because they think everyone should keep their speed under 60 miles per hour, and about those who can't properly merge.
Monson says drivers should get up to speed on the onramp, and he encourages those already on the freeway to make room by changing lanes or by making a speed adjustment.
"The people who go 'I'm not going to let you in' when I'm going 55 or 60 on the onramp to get on the freeway, and they'll speed up so I can't merge, it's something else," says Monson. "I'm surprised we're not even worse around here."
Whether it's floating on Green Lake, eating shrimp tacos at Agua Verde, or taking weekend drives out to the Cascades, she loves to enjoy the Pacific Northwest lifestyle as much as humanly possible.

Parents may think they know what their teenagers are doing online, but according to a study released Tuesday by McAfee, they are sorely mistaken.
Facebook Marketing
REPORT: Teens Still Use Facebook (And Can Master Privacy Settings)
Yes, teenagers use Facebook. And although whether or not they'll be using Facebook in a few years remains to be seen, the site does have a considerable presence among high-school students. The Pew Research Center recently examined how teens use social media, finding that they don't like drama and having their parents connected to them, but they stay on Facebook because it plays a key part in the social experience. However, Facebook's youngest users tend to have no problem configuring privacy settings.
INFOGRAPHIC: Are Teens Tired Of Facebook?
One of the main topics concerning Facebook now is whether or not teenagers are getting tired of the site, or are avoiding the social network completely because it's not cool. Younger users also likely have reservations about joining a site where their parents are, preferring Tumblr and other sites. Right Mix Marketing put together an infographic, offering some reasons why teens may not want to be active on Facebook.
Facebook, National Association of Attorneys General Launch Teen Safety Consumer-Education Program
Facebook launched another initiative aimed at keeping teens safe on the social network, teaming up with the National Association of Attorneys General on a consumer-education program aimed at teens and their parents, elements of which will be hosted on the Facebook Safety page.
STUDY: Teens Like Facebook More Than Twitter
Teenagers are using all kinds of social networks nowadays — Tumblr, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter — but they're not really flocking to one exclusively. It seems like every month, a study shows that teens favor one social media site over another. Now a new study from Piper Jaffray claims that Facebook has beaten Twitter as the hot social network du jour.
Facebook Adds Controls To Curb Cyberbullying
Facebook has long been adamant about preventing cyberbullying, and the company announced recently that more controls are in place so teens can feel safer on the social network.
Are Teenagers Getting Tired Of Facebook?
The teenage demographic has been one of the hardest to figure out in terms of how they interact with Facebook and other social media sites. A comprehensive study by Common Sense Media shows that 68 percent of teens polled said that Facebook is their main social networking site. Interestingly enough, 36 percent wished they could go back to a time before Facebook.
Study: Most Parents Have No Clue What Their Teens Are Doing On Facebook, Online
Six out of 10 teens have witnessed cruel behavior online, and 93 percent of those who have said it took place on Facebook, according to the results of a new study by McAfee, which also found that only one out of four parents is aware of that behavior.
Teen's Mobile App Earns Facebook Internship Offer, But She's Undecided
A California teenager created a mobile app for The Home Depot, won $10,500 in a contest, and impressed a Facebook official enough to earn an internship with the company. However, Business Insider reports that the recent high school graduate is so heavily recruited that she's weighing her options.
Teens Choosing Tumblr, Foursquare Over Facebook
In terms of social media preferences, teenagers have been hard to quantify. A study released recently by youth market research firm Ypulse shows that more teens are bypassing Facebook to check in on Foursquare and post photos and thoughts on Tumblr.

Likemindedness is the new proximity is a phrase I stumbled across in an infographic on social media's influence for advertising. The graphic cites our high rates of Internet connectivity and how we're all more likely to trust a friend's review than a critic's. It says that the influence of one word-of-mouth recommendation is as powerful as two hundred TV ads. But it doesn't actually talk about proximity, or how the Internet has erased its importance.
Fandom has so very little to do with proximity. Where you are matters hardly at all; the important thing is what you like. Fans feel "close" to friends who live timezones, continents, and oceans away. They talk and think and laugh and create together through the Internet, producing a new kind of proximity—one born from sharing a love of characters and stories and kinks rather than a space. The buzzword for online interactions used to be "virtual," and fans do still joke about the divide between "real life" and fandom. But when it comes to the relationships, alliances, communities, and causes grown from fandom, it's all very real, and there are no borders. Fandom is the new proximity.
This website represents the academic side of my fandom involvement. Follow the menu links to glimpse a little bit of my fan scholar life.

6 Clips from 2 GUNS Starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg
by Matt Goldberg Posted 1 year, 142 days ago
Universal Pictures has released six clips from the upcoming action film, 2 Guns. Denzel Washington plays a DEA agent who reluctantly teams up with a U.S. naval intelligence officer (Mark Wahlberg) to infiltrate and bring down a Mexican drug cartel and recover millions of dollars. Speaking to Steve at CinemaCon, director Baltasar Kormakur said it's a "pulpy comic adaptation that's 'probably closer to 48 Hrs. than Bad Boys.'" Kormakur also says that there's less action than in his previous film, Contraband, but "hopefully there is more fun in the action than necessarily big explosions." I'm not watching these clips since I'm seeing the movie tomorrow, but I liked what I saw from the trailer.
Hit the jump to check out the clips. The film also stars Paula Patton, Bill Paxton, Fred Ward, James Marsden, and Edward James Olmos. 2 Guns opens August 2nd.

Jack Ingram Passes Away
The man that initiated the first national mountain bike organization to sanction races, which would eventually become NORBA, John "Mountain Jack" Ingram, passed away recently. Jack not only had an influential role in establishing NORBA, his early work played a critical part in mountain biking becoming a World Cycling Championship sport, starting in Durango, Colorado in 1990. He also helped develop the first national mountain bike group to encourage stewardship and land access.
Joe Breeze recounts the important role Jack played in the mountain bike community:
Jack played a seminal role in establishing the first national mountain bike organization to sanction races. It was also the first national mountain bike group to encourage stewardship and land access.
In 1983, Jack corralled all of us mountain bike "pioneers" and insisted we organize racing and stewardship. We were all wrapped up in our fledgling businesses and it was difficult for us to commit to getting together. But Jack persisted. After many, many phone calls and visits at the annual Long Beach Bike Show, he got us all together. On January 25th of that year, 13 of us met at Jacks' house in Lafayette, and then we met regularly in Marin.
Jack's vision led the way. At 56, he was our elder statesman and we parlayed his wisdom into what we soon called NORBA, the National Off-Road Bicycle Association. We wrote up by-laws, created a logo, arranged for race insurance, grew our membership, oversaw mountain bike races and became the organization that Jack had dreamed of and knew we needed.
Later in 1983, we determined that to prosper we would need to find someone to take NORBA on full time – we had our own businesses to tend to. We transferred NORBA to Glen Odell of Solvang. He took the organization to the next level with the first NORBA National Championship in December 1983. NORBA went through a few different hands along the way, but years ago it was absorbed by USA Cycling and placed under the umbrella of the world governing body of cycling – the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI).
Jack's work played a critical role in mountain biking's becoming a World Cycling Championship sport, and eventually an Olympic sport in Atlanta in 1996, only twenty years after the sport's first races at Repack.
Jack supported my wishes for mountain bike racing to give back to the community and not just be another solely athletic endeavor. This was not something people had given much thought to at the time, but after I aired the idea of a self-sufficiency rule, we discussed the reasons for it and it passed almost unanimously. Self-sufficiency became a key tenant among NORBA rules. I'm sorry to say that a few years back, this rule was rescinded by the UCI. Still, the rule has had a positive impact on the sport and on the mountain bike's development.
In 2003, past NORBA owner, Bob Hadley, wanted to put together a 20th reunion for the founders. The gathering never did materialize, but I spent a good deal of time trying to find Jack, without success.
I was so looking forward to expressing my thanks to him for organizing us. He was justly proud of his role, and I will never forget his determination.

NRCS works with eligible partners who purchase Agricultural Land Easements (ALE) that protect the agricultural use and conservation values of eligible land. ALEs can help farmers and ranchers keep their land in agriculture. The program also protects grazing land by conserving grassland, rangeland, pastureland and shrubland. Eligible partners include Indian tribes, state and local governments and non-governmental organizations, such as Land Trusts that have farmland or grassland protection programs.
NRCS does not work directly with landowners for ALE; instead NRCS provides financial assistance to entities that have existing land trust or protection programs.
NRCS may contribute up to 50 percent of the fair market value of the agricultural land easement to the cooperating entity. Where NRCS determines that grasslands of special environmental significance will be protected, NRCS may contribute up to 75 percent of the fair market value of the agricultural land easement. The cooperating entity acquires, manages, and enforces the easement.

State, Tribal, church, hospital, school or local entities with a qualifying farmland protection program can participate. A qualifying program utilizes voluntary easements or other legal devices to protect productive farmland or grasslands of environmental significance.
NRCS provides up to 50% of the purchase cost of the easement to the cooperating entity. The cooperating entity acquires, manages, and enforces the easement.
Each year the NRCS establishes a concentrated dign-up period, with application deadline, detailing the current application guidelines and priorities. Eligible entities then submit an application package to the Wisconsin NRCS State Conservationist. The package includes:
NRCS evaluates application packages using required national ranking criteria and state criteria developed with advice from the State Technical Committee. Cooperative agreements are prepared for entities selected for participation in the Ag Land Easements Program.

This season's squad has a different look and feel to it. The Braves made a statement Saturday with an 87-61 win over Bethel in North Newton.
Ottawa was coming off a rough loss to Tabor Thursday in a game the Braves let slip away. The Braves rebounded with one of their best games from start to finish.
Ottawa coach Andy Carrier said this team has shown it can be mentally strong.
"That was a real emotional loss," he said of Thursday. "They were frustrated. It is nice to have seniors and experience back. I was impressed how we did it on the defensive end. We shared the ball too."
Ottawa finished with 17 assists and limited Bethel to 34 percent shooting from the field.
The Braves played team basketball all over the floor.
"We got it side-to-side when we did not get it in transition," Carrier said. "We have pretty good chemistry."
Carrier said Lundry and Regier need to provide an inside presence.
"Getting valuable minutes out of Colby and Alex is huge for us," he said. "They are getting back to providing a defensive presence inside. We need them on the defensive end and on the glass."
The pair combined for eight rebounds and kept Bethel from getting many good inside looks.
Carrier liked the balanced attack. Ottawa finished with five players in double figures.
"That is really who we want to be," Carrier said. "Our best games we have five or six guys in double figures. We were throwing the extra pass. That is a sign of a good team."
Ottawa shot 48 percent from the field, including going 10-of-20 from behind the arc.
The Braves put the hammer down in an eight-minute stretch of the first half.
Ottawa outscored the Threshers, 23-3, from the 10:45 mark of the first half to the 2:42 mark. Ottawa went from an 19-18 lead to a 42-21 advantage.The Braves led 45-23 at halftime.
Ottawa kept Bethel at bay in the second half.
"You have to learn to close out," Carrier said. "We talked a lot at halftime how did we get this lead. We rebounded, guarded and ran offense when we did not get easy shots in transition. The guys are starting to believe in the way we do things. That is invaluable."
Bethel did try to press Ottawa in the second half and the Braves handled it well.
"I was glad they pressured us," Carrier said. "They changed defenses. We are capable of playing a lot of different styles. We can still get better."
Senior Corey Smith put together a sterling game with 17 points, 13 rebounds and five assists.
Kameron Lindsay and Chase Dippel netted 17 points each. Adam Hasty and Julian Rose tossed in 10 apiece.
Ottawa (7-9, 4-2) plays 8 p.m. Thursday at home against Southwestern (12-5, 3-3).
Bethel (61) — Moore 3, Arciniega 3, Griffin 18, Howard 4, Hodge 17, Haywood 2, Hill 6, Yunker 2, Cape 2, Wilson 2, Benton 2.
Ottawa (87) — Feighny 2, Smith 17, Lindsay 10, Hasty 10, Dippel 17, Lyons 6, Falk 2, Rose 10, Baumchen 2, Regier 2, Lundry 2.

Foreclosures in Los Angeles County have had an adverse affect on homeowners, renters, neighbors, and, in some cases, entire communities. However, there is help available and we encourage you to contact the following agencies if you need assistance.
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Developmenthttp://www.hud.gov/foreclosure/(800) 669-9777
Los Angeles County Department of Consumer Affairshttp://consumer-affairs.co.la.ca.us/(800) 593-8222
Los Angeles County NeighborWorks Center for Foreclosure Solutions http://www.nhslacounty.org/(213) 381-2862
Housing Rights Centerhttp://www.hrc-la.org(800) 477-5977
Federal Reserve Boardhttp://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/press/other/20090305a.htm
Federal Reserve Board's 5 Tips for Avoiding Foreclosure Scams
1. Work only with a non-profit, HUD-approved counselor.
If you are looking for help to prevent foreclosure, be sure the counseling agency is on the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD's) list of approved agencies. Visit HUD's website for an easily searchable list of HUD-approved housing counseling agencies, or call 877-HUD-1515 (877-483-1515) for more information. If you are approached by foreclosure counselors--by mail, phone, or in person--make sure the counseling agency is HUD-approved before you do business with them.
2. Don't pay an arm and a leg.
You should not have to pay hundreds--or thousands--of dollars. Most HUD-approved housing counselors provide no-cost counseling services and many more provide low-cost counseling. Do not agree to work with a counselor who collects a fee before providing you with any services or who accepts payment only by cashier's check or wire transfer. In general, do not pay money to anyone unless you know exactly what services you will receive.
3. Be wary of "guarantees."
A reputable counselor will not guarantee to stop the foreclosure process, no matter what your circumstances. Working with a legitimate counselor can certainly increase your chances of keeping your home--but be wary of people who promise a sure thing. Again, get the details of your transaction, along with any promises, in writing first.
4. Know what you are signing--and be sure you sign it.
Don't let a counselor pressure you to sign paperwork you haven't had a chance to read through carefully or that you don't understand. Don't sign any blank forms or let "the counselor" fill out forms for you. Be sure to talk with an attorney before signing anything that transfers the title of your home to another party.
5. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
If you feel you may be the target or victim of foreclosure fraud, trust your instincts and seek help. For tips on spotting scam artists, visit the Federal Trade Commission's webpage on foreclosure rescue scams. Report suspicious schemes to your state and local consumer protection agencies, which you can find on the Federal Citizen Information Center's Consumer Action Website.

Are You a Successful Dad?
You may have noticed that I've been on hiatus from writing for a while (at least I hope you have). It has been a rough stretch for me and my family. Along with the usual busyness of life, there have been some things going on that have drained my motivation to write. The good thing is that periods of pain and struggle are usually closely followed by periods of growth. We rejoice in our sufferings, right? I'm glad to be back writing. Thanks for reading.
How do you measure success in life? Status, popularity, a big office, a new car, healthy relationships? Maybe a better question is who determines what measure you use? Have you defined success for yourself, or has someone else defined it for you?
I read a great article about success recently at ChopperPapa. Papa talks about some of the "successful" people in sports and entertainment. People like Tiger Woods and Charlie Sheen. He gives the topic of success in life great coverage, but it got me thinking about success in fatherhood. I am pretty comfortable saying Tiger and Charlie are not successful dads, but what about Earl Woods and Martin Sheen? Did they have anything to do with their sons' "success"?
Why is it when we hear about people who do great (or horrible) things, we don't give any credit (blame) to their dads? I know that grown up people have responsibility for their own actions. Some people with great dads have gone on to screw their lives up. Others have gone on to become great despite their dad. But the fact remains that fathers have a profound influence on their children and the adults they become. A dad is responsible for building a foundation in the first quarter of a life that the adult will build on the last three quarters.
So how does a dad measure success? On one hand, the job will never really be done, so I suppose I'll never really be able to say whether I have achieved ultimate success. On the other hand, there are a lot of opportunities for small success along the way. Thinking about how you define success as a dad will help you shape your priorities, set your goals and make course corrections over time. I've had a couple small successes recently that I'm not too humble to write about here.
The first is my second son's basketball coach complementing him on his character, leadership and his general attitude. This made the season for me. I don't care as much about how many rebounds he got or how many games they won. My goal is not to launch a star basketball player into adulthood. It is to help him build his character, become a leader (since that is one of his gifts) and for him to maintain a healthy, positive attitude.
My second recent success was when my oldest son had to get two references for a summer volunteer position he was applying for. Both reference letters he got were great, but one of them in particular brought tears to my eyes. It was from a friend who I have significant respect and admiration for. She wrote glowing praise with specific examples of why he would be an ideal volunteer and was uniquely suited for the role.
These small successes provided encouragement for us that we're doing some things right. They were both aligned with my ultimate definition of success as a dad: to launch my children into adulthood with a strong foundation of faith and character and to help them discover and cultivate their unique purpose and gifts so they can contribute great things to the world and find joy in doing so.
So what's your definition?

I think that kids look to their parents and pick and choose what they want to be from how there parents are. When kids are young that is all they know and they have a lot of traits like their parents but as they grow up the kids may say well i didnt like how dad did this. I am not going to be like that. or that is way cool, I want to be like that. I think it is important to get out their and let your kids know you are proud of them no matter what they do. For instance I am not a fan of sports but when my kids do good. I let them know that i am so proud of them!

I got an unusually large amount of watchers and favs yesterday, just wanted to thank you guys. I'm a bit curious where it all generated from though, it obviously had something to do with the 'Stuck in the Wall' painting I did years ago, I had thought it might have been a DD but it didn't have one, so I'm guessing an off-site linked the picture.
On an unrelated note, I wanted to ask something a while back but had forgotten:
How do you guys feel about whether or not you're thanked when it comes to favs and watches on your profile page? like when you add a picture to your favorites and the artist stops by to say "thanks".
I was wondering this because I remember when I was in my early 20's I used to get a little bitter when an artist wouldn't acknowelege favs or watches, like I felt they were not grateful, but now that I'm older and calmer (and have been here so long) I don't really do it either and don't care if anyone thanks me .
I also realize super popular artists realistically can't do it anyway when they're getting 1000 favs and watches a day.
Another thing I've noticed is sometimes people will actually get mad if you do thank them, they'll hide the comment if you say "thanks for the fav" or whatever, I remember one persons whole profile page was dedicated to stamps that said something along the lines of "STOP ****ING THANKING ME ***HOLES". So how do you guys feel about it? Like it, don't like it? Don't care?

Sheboygan, Wisconsin
This iReport is part of an assignment:
Does marijuana help you?
American pothead
Because of our Governors opposition on pretty much anything that is for the benefit of our State, we do not currently have pending legalization of marijuana in Wisconsin. Despite the proof that it is much safer than drinking and the fact that the sale of marijuana would increase tax revenue greatly and provide many jobs. Governor Walker's stance on marijuana is wrong and the question to legalize it will not be put to a vote if he is in charge.
I would love to not have to commit a criminal offense for smoking some weed, staying home and doing schoolwork. I would be overjoyed at being able to legally use a substance that is grown naturally without harsh chemicals that takes the place of many dangerous medications. And I would be proud to live in a country where our Government could admit that they used scare tactics and lies to ban marijuana in the first place.
What do you think of this story?
