In Figure 4, the points shown above have been plotted on a scaled sketch of the turbo machinery train. Any convenient scale may be used. In this example, it is assumed the turbine will remain stationary and the compressor will be shimmed to achieve the desired alignment. From the "Turbine to Compressor" data, it can be seen that the centerline of the compressor shaft is .005" (one half of the TIR reading) above the centerline of the turbine shaft for the point at which the indicator readings were taken. Now referring to the "Compressor to Turbine" data, it can be seen the centerline of the turbine shaft is .012" below the centerline of the compressor shaft for the point at which the indicator readings were taken. With these two points determined, the position of the compressor shaft relative to the turbine shaft is fixed. An extension of a line through these two points gives a graphical representation of the alignment situation and indicates the shimming necessary to achieve the desired alignment. It is also at this point in the alignment procedure that the offset required due to the steam end rise be greater than the exhaust end rise must also be taken into consideration.
In this example, the vertical plane has been plotted. Alignment in the horizontal plane is obtained in the same manner. On next page more
Turbine to Compressor and Compressor to Turbine For ease of plotting, change each pair of numbers to "zero" and a positive number. Since diametrically opposed numbers represent only a deviation from an arbitrary reference, a given amount may be added to both sides without affecting the meaning. On the "Turbine to Compressor" readings, for example, 10 is added to the vertical pair of numbers while 8 is added to the horizontal pair. The other sets are handled in a similar manner. The absence of negative numbers reduces errors in plotting.
This data obtained is adequate to determine relative shaft positions. Record the readings and indicate precisely what they represent. As they are shown above, the readings shown as "Turbine to Compressor" indicates the alignment bracket is on the turbine shaft and the indicator stem rests upon the compressor shaft.
Make any corrections for the deflection of the alignment bracket. For this example, we will assume .004" TIR deflection. To make the correction for this error, simply add the TIR reading (in mils) to the bottom number in each set.
The indicator is "zeroed" on top and the following readings are observed as the shafts are rotated at 90-degree intervals.
A similar procedure is used with the complementary bracket and the indicator yields to following:
Use of the "Reverse Indicator" method eliminates the requirement for removing the coupling spacer in a majority of cases. This reduces the wear and tear on the coupling. The error caused by coupling hub run-out is entirely eliminated since both shafts turn as a unit (with spacer installed), and angular misalignment is greatly magnified and more precisely diagnosed. Since face readings are eliminated, there is no concern about axial float.
The single problem that carries over to the "Reverse Indicator" method which was present in the "Face O.D." method is that of deflection in the alignment bracket. This problem can be readily handled by building the bracket with substantial material to prevent droop or by determining the deflection in the alignment fixture and making the appropriate corrections in the alignment data.
For the purpose of example, Figure 3 shows a simple turbine-compressor to be aligned. It is desired to place the compressor shaft .008" higher than the turbine to accommodate for calculated thermal growth of the two machines. The alignment bracket is clamped to the turbine shaft with the indicator stem resting upon the compressor shaft (or the rigid portion of the coupling hub).
To eliminate inaccuracies in geometry of the coupling hub, turning of both shafts simultaneously such that the indicator readings are taken always at the same place on the hub will give more precision. This precaution can be difficult on larger equipment and may not be possible.
Face measurements taken by this method must have the axial float of the two shafts accounted for. Axial movement must be taken into account when turning the shafts on equipment with hydrodynamic thrust bearings or no thrust bearings. (Small machinery utilizing ball bearings will not encounter any axial float.) The shafts must have axial positions rechecked each time a reading is taken.
Similarly during horizontal alignment of the turbine the off set (equivalent to the radial clearance in the input bearing of the gear box installed between driven equipment and turbine) should be kept between centre line of the turbine shaft and the centre line of the gear box due to the tendency of the gear box shaft movement out side under load condition.
One additional element that must be accounted for is the difference between the exhaust end shaft rise and the steam end shaft rise. Typically, the steam end will rise more than the exhaust end due to higher temperatures. This will result in the desire to have the coupling face "open" at the top. The calculated shaft rise for both the steam and exhaust end can be found on the outline drawing for the turbine.
Care must also be taken in the brackets that are used to hold the dial indicators. "Universal" or makeshift brackets contrived on the spur of the moment can give inaccurate readings, which can lead to improper alignments. Especially when the spans between the shafts are quite long, care must be taken to assure that the bracket being utilized is stiff enough that it will not deflect under its own weight.
A step up in accuracy and the elimination of some of the problems mentioned above with the "Face O.D." would be to utilize the "Reverse Indicator" method as illustrated in Figure 2. This method employs indicator readings taken on the outside diameter of the coupling hubs or shaft only. The sketch indicates two brackets used simultaneously, which is normally the preferred method. One bracket could be utilized by switching back and forth for each set of readings but this is far less convenient.
Many methods can be utilized to perform cold alignment of Turbine. The method described below is that of using dial indicators. While the method of employing dial indicators is an old and well established technique, it is not without problems. Some of them are
1.Inaccuracies in the geometry of the coupling hubs.
2.Axial float of the two shafts
3.Radial clearances of the bearings.
4.Difference between exhaust end shaft rise and steam end shaft rise
5.Sag in the brackets used for holding dial indicators.
The most widely used of the traditional alignment methods is commonly referred to as the "Face- O.D." method as illustrated in Figure1. As shown in the figure, a bracket is attached to one shaft and extends to the proximity of the coupling hub on the adjacent shaft. Dial indicators are affixed to this bracket with the stem of one indicator resting on the face of the coupling hub and the stem of the other indicator resting on the outside diameter of the same hub. The offset of the shafts is determined by the "O.D." readings, while angularity of the shafts is determined by the "face" readings. It is suggested that the proper distance between the shafts be established before any alignment method is used in order to fix the coupling without disturbing the alignment. This spacing dimension can be found on the coupling drawing.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A coroner says the cause of death of a 19-month-old doesn't match the story the boy's caretaker's told police at a hospital emergency room.
The Tennessean reported (http://tnne.ws/15Q5rSU ) that a Kentucky medical examiner concluded that Adrian Louis Maldonado was assaulted and that his injuries were "inconsistent with the provided history" from the mother and boyfriend.
The paper cited an autopsy report obtained through a public records request.
The couple, 28-year-old Tiffany Dawn Sampson and her boyfriend 39-year-old Robert Roger Dishman, told police the toddler's brother hit him with a toy block, and also that the toddler had a temper that prompted him to "head-butt" the floor.
Sampson, of Greenbrier, Tenn., is charged with second-degree criminal abuse. Dishman, of Bowling Green, Ky., is charged with second-degree manslaughter and criminal abuse.

6 Superb Penis Enlargement Exercises
Best Penis Enlargement Methods
How To Increase Penis Size
Have Control Over Masturbation
A good way to improve the penile strength is to avoid masturbating as frequently as you do now. According to the researchers, over masturbating will only make the penis weak as well as lead to dysfunction. The best you can do here is to keep it under control and reach your goals of getting strong penis.
A simple but really helpful way to increase the penis strength is to adhere to penis stretches. Herein, you need to stretch it far out as much as you can and away from the body. This should be done slowly and gently and kept in that position for at least 30 seconds. This should be repeated 10 times with a break of 10 seconds in between. It helps in strengthening the penis muscles.

Why Isn't Bailey the New Chief on Grey's Anatomy?by Steve Marsi at . Comments
What effect will the surprising revelation that Owen will soon become the new chief on Grey's Anatomy have on Bailey, long believed to be Richard's future replacement?
Kevin McKidd thinks she's more disappointed in Richard than anything.
Of course, "Her anger with the Chief for resigning is all dumped on Owen," the actor who plays the new chief, Kevin McKidd, tells TV Guide. "She has to respect his decision."
"He feels it's time to retire and to hand over that power to somebody else."
"Maybe she is upset that it isn't her that's Chief, but I think it's more to do with her anger at Webber because she's going to miss him."
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: Grey's Anatomy
Baileyas been able to get Webber to do pretty much what she wants in running the hospital. I guess the Shepherd and Bailey as the chiefs favourites is over. That will please Altman I guess
The Chief told her in the 3rd Season that She will be chief! She's barely out of her General Surgery Fellowship. Owen is older, more experienced. It will be hers.
I agree! Bailey for chief!! She deserves it over Owen any day! Why they made Owen chief and April CR is beyond me. I love MerDer and hope they work through their problems and we have lots of MerDer in season 8. Same with Cristina, Alex, Bailey and Richard. Nothing like the original cast to me. Once they go, Grey's is over for me. Owen doesn't cut it as a lead actor. Not even close! I actually hope Cris dumps him and his selfish not understanding her at all ways.
This had nothing to do with this but have you guys seen the deleted scene of last season? I dont know how people got them before the DVD release but they did. They upload them on youtube if you want to check it out.
I want more of mr. Pickens chief or no chief. He is so solid and graceful in the part, truly love him. His performance in season 6 with his relapse culminating to his confrontation with the shooter still gives me chills. Btw the folks complaining about the writing of the two previous seasons are not focusing on content and some of the best acting performances several of which centered around the chief. He is the rock, the glue and the heart of GA.
*premire, oh and he quit because he hated it
@Liz nooo Derek quit being cheif in the premirw of season 7
Derek did a great job as Chief and he should be the new Chief over Owen. He's not there as long and does not know the ropes, so to speak, of Seattle Grace/Mercy West. Is Derek being penalized for Meredith's mistake?
In terms of Bailey, I guess making her chief would make her lose her edge. She's so much more hardcore as an attending surgeon than she was when she was chief resident.

Late season tomatoes — ripened inside
Late season delights — ripened tomatoes and fall colors
This fall has, in general, been quite moderate in temperature and with ample sunshine (although there was rain and snow this past week). In spite of the good weather, my tomatoes had lost their foliage and all that was left were several decent looking green tomatoes. I picked those that seemed viable, with the capacity to ripen with time. I placed them on top of newspaper on the floor of our basement. Gradually, one by one, they turned red. Now, we have been able to continue with our daily lunch of a tomato sandwich. The "old" process of ripening green tomatoes by wrapping them in newspaper certainly works, but in order to see if they are ripening, one must unwrap the papers to check on the process. By just laying the tomatoes out, without any sunshine, works just fine for me. It is natural that all green tomatoes might not ripen, but this may be because they were immature when picked.
One of the most successful commercial tomato growers in Hartford County used to pick tomatoes well before any had started to ripen in the field. He stored them in the basement area of a barn where they ripened earlier than if he had left them outside. He was always one of the first growers with native tomatoes in the market, where the early crop always commanded the highest price. Plus, by removing these early green tomatoes, the rest of the crop was able to come into production quicker than if the earlier tomatoes had remained on the vine to ripen naturally. Try that out next summer and see if it works for you.
Here it is November and there is still some evidence of fall color on select trees and shrubs. One that I find most attractive is the Threadleaf Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum dissectum). Some varieties have red foliage and some have green foliage. The leaves have multiple leaf lobes, up to 10 or so, giving a delicate, lacy appearance when compared to the "normal" Acer palmatum. The branches are somewhat pendulous, tending to grow downward. This makes for an interesting branching arrangement as the tree grows. One of the features along with the green summer leaves is the brilliant fall color that lasts well into November when most trees have already shed their leaves. When planted it is best to use it as a specimen plant, growing it in the sunshine with plenty of room to expand. My maple currently has a diameter of eight to 10 feet. In order to accommodate its growth, I have had to gradually prune back a dwarf form of spruce that obviously, in hindsight, was planted too close to the maple. My choice is to cater to the maple.
Based upon my observation of the deer activity in our neighborhood, there are more deer than we have seen in the 19 years that we have been living here. While they normally come out during dusk, this year we are being visited most any time of the day. One day there were five on one side of the house and two on the opposite side — during the day! The food supply must be coming up a bit short as they have been feeding upon rhubarb both in my garden and my neighbor across the street. Never before has the rhubarb been touched, that is why I grow it without any protection. As most gardeners know, the leaves of rhubarb are poisonous, while the stems are highly desired, particularly in late spring. Whether or not eating the leaves affected the marauding deer I don't know, but I haven't seen any deer carcasses lying about.
Another report that I have received is that some lilacs have been attacked. Lilacs grow all around the island, and I have never seen or heard of any problem with them in the past. What these conditions portend is that with a severe winter — extra cold temperatures, ice and snow — many of these young deer and some of the more mature deer may not make it through the winter alive. It's a blessing that the DEM has instituted "emergency regulations," as reported in the last issue of The Block Island Times, to severely reduce the current deer population.
My rain gauge showed that we finally received one inch of rain after almost two months of drought. Our pond (about four feet deep) dried up prior to the rain. That is only the third time that it has dried since our family purchased the property in 1955. Newly planted trees, shrubs or perennials should continue to be watered for another few weeks or until frost sets in the ground to insure that there is ample soil moisture to sustain them through the winter.
"A killing frost devastates the heart as well as the garden."— Eleanor Perenyi, "Green Thoughts" (1981)

Resellers still have Bruno Mars tickets in stock
The first of three Bruno Mars concerts in Honolulu begins Friday night.
On ticket reseller website StubHub.com, tickets are still available for the Friday night concert. Prices range from $108.25 for loge seating to $675 for a first row ticket, as of 11:33 a.m.
Friday night's concert begins at 8 p.m at the Neal Blaisdell Arena. This is the first stop of his North American leg of his Moonshine Jungle World Tour.
Tonight on KITV4 News at 6, Moanike`ala Nabarro takes us back in time to watch Bruno's climb to stardom, which was set in motion inside a Waikiki showroom.
"When I first joined the show, I think they told me he was getting ready to turn 5, and they told me he was the star of the show. And I said, 'What?!'" said Alison Maldonado, former Love Notes band member. "A 5-year-old is the star of the show? But when I saw him perform, I was like, 'Oh, there you go!'"

Hangups in Nursing - page 2
Hello all, sorry about all the posts today from me, but I do have a question for this forum. I am pretty confident about my ability to get through school etc. (Hoping I get in, I don't want to jinx that, the count the chicken... Read More
- 0Dec 5, '03 by NemhainDon't feel bad Kim!
Everyone in my clinic group makes fun of me 'cause of my reaction to the smell of feces, vomit and urine. Let me tell you...I have ABSOLUTELY NO problem with the thought of cleaning it up. I am providing a service that my clients can't provide themselves...but the smell...dear lord...the smell. Everyone in my group is either a mom or has worked as a CNA so they've all been puked, pooped, or peed on and are used to the smell. Everytime I start to clean the client I tell myself, "Okay, it's all in your head, you're gonna be fine" and just then it starts...no no no...not just gagging, but a full on body convulsion that sends my classmates into hysterics (not infront of the client, of course)!!!
"Oh you'll get used to it soon enough", they say. They even have some nicknames for me like, "seizure girl" and "epi lady" (epi - short for epileptic like seizure I seem to go into when the odor hits my nose)...they think they're so funny! They even want my instructor to put me first on the list to do a fecal impaction. - yeah, they're a bunch of clowns. ha ha.
Well, hopefully I'll get over it someday 'cause I really want to. And so my clinic group will stop using me as their "punch line"
- 0Dec 6, '03 by nurse unhappyYes your normal. Nobody like their own body fluids, much less body fluids from another person or animal or what ever. You'll get use to most of it.
I agree with Gompers. It's the sputum that gets to me. Like her, just thinking about it makes me sick.
- 0Dec 6, '03 by jkaeeI know how you feel....before I started nursing school, we buddied up with a second year student. She was telling me how you had to clean up BM and change incontinent patients. I was shocked! I didn't know grown people wet themselves! (I laugh now about how naive I was back then!)
You will get used to it, although I'm still not good with vomit!
I used to be really grossed out by mucous. I got a job in a vent/trach unit figuring I'd just have to get used to it. I did, but there were some hard moments.
Sometime you have to just expose yourself a lot to whatever really skeeves you. Eventually, it won't bother you as much.
You will do fine...and remember, every nurse has their pet peeve, you're not the only one.
Good luck!!
- 0Jan 11, '04 by germainI thought nothing bothered me, was actua,ly looking for something to gross me out- and now I've found it. Its teh sickly sweet smell of liver faiure. It stays with me when i leave a room. I dont gag, I just have a strong dislike. Noway I could work transplant.
But who kknow, its new now, but may just pass
- 0Jan 12, '04 by barefootladyCan handle anything, but hate to brush teeth. I do it and do it well but hate to clean dentures. Mouth care or oral suctioning does not bother me as much as brushing denture. Weird.?????
- 0Feb 8, '04 by luanne123Gompers. I laughed so hard I almost peed in my pants!!!!
I work in two departments, ER and Endoscopy. I really hate dentures and sputum. I can handle just about anything else. In Endoscopy, patients have to remove dentures before procedures and it really makes my eye water!!!! Sputum is pretty horrible too. I am married to a Pulmonologist, and he LOVES sputum. It takes all kinds.
- 0Feb 8, '04 by WolfpaxWell...after giving this much thought, I agree with having handguns in nursing... for Pete's sake with all those kiddies out there trying to get drugs and other stuff, we nurses are prime targets... and you don't actually have to shoot anyone... a well placed warning shot will..... ( pardon me?... what do you mean it's not about handguns?.... about what? hangwhat? hangups... oh...
well that's different isn't it !)

The Scandal of the Evangelical Memory, Part 2 of 5
(See Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5)
"It's a test designed to provoke an emotional response…Describe only the
good things that come to mind about your mother."
Leon Kowalski then stands up and blows away his interviewer because he has no memories of his mother. Leon is a replicant robot built for menial off-world tasks, has no memories of a mother, and is being hunted because he is trespassing on Earth (Blade Runner [1982]).
But of course there is a twist. There is Rachael. She is also a replicant, but one who thinks she is a human. Beginning to suspect the truth she protests to Dekker (a 'blade runner' who hunts the wayward robots) that she has memories of her childhood. "Look," pulling out a picture, "it's me with my mother!"
But, alas, her manufacturer at Tyrell Corporation had implanted fake memories taken from the CEO's nieces. "Those aren't your memories," Dekker comments dryly, "they are some else's."
Blade Runner, as with Total Recall (both stories by Philip K. Dick and adapted for the big screen), complicates our understanding of ourselves and our memories, making us ask questions about who we really are and where we came from.
And like Rachael, we evangelicals often think we know who our (church) mother is. But as I said in the part one, "we have been given fake memories and don't know who we really are." With Rachael, we need to realize that our evangelical memories aren't ours, they are someone else's.
Where to begin?
When telling your life story it is always hard to know where to begin. "Well, we moved here 3 years ago… My first son was born 9 years ago and… 15 years ago we were married… In the town I grew up in we would…" Back and back we go, searching for the perfect place to start.
Most evangelicals (and their mainline/progressive antagonists) begin with those pesky fundamentalists battling the liberals to uphold orthodoxy way back in the 1920s. When defeated the fundamentalist ran off and started those fundamentalist-turned-evangelical(-but-now-turned fundamentalist-again) schools like Wheaton College and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (with Fuller Seminary somewhere in-between). Evangelicals, our 'memories' tell us, are the spiritual children of these fundamentalist, but less mean about stuff, more into theology, but just as conservative socially, politically, and theologically. These memories tell us that the conservative (fundamentalist/evangelical) battle against liberalism (mainline) is the best and only way to understand evangelicalism, that it has been the Hatfields and McCoys ever since.[1]
How do I know these are your memories? Because if you are a typical evangelical who listens to sermons, reads a little theology, or watches the media then this is the 'manufacture memory' that has been implanted in your mind! This memory is used by the Neo-Reformed (and other conservatives) who would like evangelicals to think that 'true' evangelicalism is always a 'conservative' movement against those bad progressive liberals, and it is used by 'liberals' to marginalize evangelicals as fundamentalists with a smile.
Three Problems
1) These 'memories' centering on the fundamentalist-modernist schism only follow the destinies of intellectuals (mostly white-male, upper-class Calvinists: Edwards, Hodge, Machem, Carl Henry) and ignores the average Christ-follower of the time who didn't care about the fundamentalist-liberal squabbles, i.e. most of America at the time. These 'memories' prioritize intellectual history at the expense of the common religious experience of people at the time. [2]
2) And who were these ordinary people that were ignored? Well, they weren't the well to do (educated and elite Calvinists and Liberals), but the middle- to lower-class Wesleyan-Holiness-Pentecostals who were engaged in on the ground ministry, and who to this day are still the majority of evangelicals (even though they've begun to believe they are sub-evangelicals in need of Reformed correction). As historian Joel A. Carpenter quips,
"In a reversal of the usual fate, where the winners write the history, the Calvinist "losers" in the competition for the American religious market have dominated the interpretation of its past. Perhaps the Wesleyan "winners" have been too busy making history to reflect upon it."[3]
And, remember that supposed "fundamentalist" founding of Wheaton (I heard this on Facebook last week)? It was actually started in the late 19th Century by Wesleyans and Congregationalists, and their first president (Jonathan Blanchard) was a radical reformer who didn't think that OT prophets were all that different from NT evangelists (a distinction that Billy Graham, a later Wheaton grad, so famously used to justify why he wasn't involved in social matters). And remember Gordon-Conwell, now a center of Neo-Reformed thought based in the theology of Calvinist B. B. Warfield? Well, its founder, A. J. Gordon, was an evangelical revivalist and reform worker who believed in miraculous healing, and was regularly ridiculed by Warfield for his supernatural ministry. [4] Can you sense the irony? Can you feel the memory wipe?
3) But the real problem is these memories don't go back far enough. Preceding the rise of fundamentalism is a two-hundred year trans-denominational, trans-atlantic evangelical consensus. And to get a handle on where we came from, who we are, and where we are going, we must remember these other memories.
So like Rachael in Blade Runner, the picture of our (church) mother is probably a fake. But unlike Rachael, we really shouldn't be asking just about our mothers, but our (church) grandmothers, or our great-great-grand mothers who lived in an evangelicalism before fundamentalism.
It matters because…
…only by understanding our history will we understand that evangelicalism should not be judged by its adherence to Neo-Reformed distinctives, nor that being "conservative" as opposed to liberal is its founding moment. If we don't know our history we are destined to continue repeating our false history, perpetually stuck in a conservative-liberal battle. And we are liable to keep blowing people away just like Leon the replicant.
Next week's post will dive into the roots of "classical evangelicals" before fundamentalism/modernism, and what this evangelical consensus looked like (post 3). Only then will we get a true feel for the "great reversal" that occured during the rise of fundamentalism (post 4) and the neo-evangelical reaction. And only them will we notice that the Pentecostal/Charismatic movements aren't totally foreign to evangelicalism.

Maybe you'll get to this (or maybe not) but how do you see Anabaptists fitting into this? I would argue that many people in Mennonite circles in America today don't have an Anabaptist memory. Rather they have been given an evangelical memory through all the ways you mention. Do you see a benefit in deconstructing the false memory and replacing it with a memory more rooted in a wider view of history? Will this, in your opinion, hedge against the neo-reformed crowd positioning itself as the heirs to mainstream evangelicalism?
Oooh! Oooh! How will you play this? By the way, have you listened to Derek Webb's So-la-me album (soundtrack to Nexus movie)? It's along the Bladerunner lines. But if you hone in on Abolitionism as the crucible of evangelicalism, well... maybe we should have a phone call!
This is why I've always been passionate about the Missional conversation. There are important things we can all do together in a post-Christendom world. Then we can leave individual's own intellect to work this out.
That being said, the rhetoric of the neo-Reformed church leaves many of us being painted into a corner. Mind you I said rhetoric, not doctrine. It feels like they paint anyone they disagree with as heretic, and make it seem that no conversion matters unless it's a conversion to their mindset.
Recently, I spoke with a leader from The Meeting House, an anabaptist church in Toronto. They have spent two entire summers inviting those of different denominations to speak from their pulpits and explain why they're are different. When I asked why, he told me "we're Anabaptist, so we have to model how to discuss our differences in a peaceful way."
Perhaps these "false memories" are a result of a less-than-peace-driven mindset, where we have to fight and win.
I recently read _An Island in the Lake of Fire_, by Mark Dalhouse: The book traces the rise of Bob Jones University from its founding as a fairly ordinary conservative religious university (poised, true, against perceived liberalism but in that not so different from other universities of the time) to its ultra-separatist stance today, which (interestingly enough) began in the 1940s and 50s, when Billy Graham left the school and Wheaton became Bob Jones's "liberal" evangelical rival. Your discussion of the importance of Holiness / Wesleyan strains of evangelicalism, especially in the early to mid-1900s, is an interesting addendum (reformation?) to my understanding of that time period.
In any case, I wanted to encourage you to write a book on this. Much as I'm enjoying your history, I get the sense that there's so much more which could be said on the topic. I would be interested in reading a still-more-developed history of evangelicalism as it really happened.
Interestingly, one of the ongoing debates among those who have "followed" Blade Runner for decades now (it is the topic of several academic theses!) is whether Dekker himself, the Harrison Ford character is a replicant and doesn't know it, either . . . though in the Director's Cut version some scenes suggest he is beginning to suspect it.
Along that same trajectory, re: your own suggested "commonly-held memory" of evangelicalism's history as created, you say, by neo-Reformed in our day, maybe that memory of a memory is an artificial and unreliable construct. I (a couple of decades older than you, I think) remember quite vividly that I was brought up to "know" that the real evangelicals who fought against the onslaught of liberalism were Arminians like Charles Finney and General Booth of the Salvation Army , later-to-become dispensationalists like D.L. Moody and before him Darby, and entertaining enthusiasts like Billy Sunday. On the other hand, the Reformed purveyors of "eternal security" and other objectionable doctrines, still addicted to priestly-like gowns and robes in the pulpit and thinking they needed extensive education to "rightly divide the word of truth," were almost as suspicious as Roman Catholics. Those among them like Warfield and Machen who were rumored to be potential fellow-travelers with "true fundamentalists" were still awfully dangerous - they'd studied in Europe and interacted with Germans: how could anyone trust them?
I suspect from your notice given here that you are going to correct, in your next couple of entries, the "memory" you described, by discussing earlier movements that don't fit it. As such, we'll probably find that our views of the history of (American) movements leading into today's evangelicalism are more compatible than this first exchange might look like. I appreciate your correct (and correcting) portrait of the founders of Wheaton College and Gordon College, for example. But I do not share your portrait of the "implanted memory" which you apparently see as pervasive among today's evangelicals; I don't think it is how "most" or "typical" evangelicals think. And it is rather harsh, not to say unfounded, to propose that (if they do think that way) it is the result of a nefarious "memory chip implantation" on the part of the Neo-Reformed or Liberals.
Artistically, let me say I appreciate the value of metaphor, and in this Blade Runner case, you're to be congratulated for making a most excellent and persuasive hermeneutical connection. But I think differences in memory can be attributed to much less sinister causes. Jimmy Carter says (probably in hyperbole) that when he wrote his memoirs of the four years of his presidency, it was the closest he and his wife ever came to divorcing -- discussing this or that event at which they were both present, their memories of who said what, and what it meant, etc., were so disparate that they simply could not arrive at agreement. We have all experienced the same thing, about that of which we were ourselves a part. So one doesn't need to attribute inaccurate memory of history to sneaky deliberate perversions (even while acknowledging that the phenomenon DOES exist, viz., those who try to deny the Holocaust).
@MichaelDanner You Anabaptists will need to set your own record straight. ;-) But from what I've been hearing, Anabaptists seem to have either split into mainstream evangelicalism or mainstream liberalism, and have forgotten their own Anabaptist past. Does that sound right?
@jurisnaturalist I haven't heard DW's new album. But, yeah, let's talk. I'm not sure that I would say it is the crucible, but it was important.
@Lady Julian Thanks for the encouragement. I'm still learning as I go, but I think that is how many of us are feeling. :-)
@Gene Smillie Gene, thanks for your great comment. Don't steal all my "Blade Runner" thunder. :-) I plan on adding a little PKD twist to the end these posts.
Yes, on the one hand I don't think there is any overt conspiracy to wipe peoples' memories, but it is more like those who tell the narrative don't know any better (which I think is generally the case).
But I would love hear more about the "memories" of the Arminian Evangelicals and how they have felt about their position within the broad evangelical movement.
@geoffholsclaw @MichaelDanner From my experience, that sounds right. Most Mennonites I know in the MC USA world describe themselves as evangelicals who don't believe in war. This is especially true among the boomers.

|Well guys ,here's another plant out of the same batch of selfings ,i am a real fan of fresh green colours so have posted these 2 photos to show you ,specially for you Paul so you can see what to expect ,both these plants are very similar but the colours are not .(stating the obvious )so this then is Vr' Kakadu Forest ' and Vr'Kakadu sunrise' side by side in second photo
Follow-Up Postings:
|Jack, I also like that fresh green colour! Think how beautifully it will light up a shady corner in the garden under a couple of tree ferns - with some of those pink ones for a real highlight. Or do these guys like lots of light? You make it more and more difficult for me to walk past a Vriesea in flower!
Just out of curiosity, don't you want to show us a group photo of all of the grex - even the 'not so nice' ones (if there are any) so I can get a better idea of what to expect if I do get myself so far as to pick up the tweezers? Have you ever used V. sucrei in one of your grexes? Does it narrow down the leaves conciderable or will there be some that only pick up some of the colour? Or is sucrei not compatible with fosteriana/fenestralis types?
|Hi Japie ,yes i will show some of the others,and the not so nice ,bit later,am a hesitant photographer ,No i do not intent to use Vr Sucrei in my breeding ,i can't see any reason for it ,the leaves get to narrow and thats what i do not want ,it is compatible with most Vrieseas but its not my thing , most of the foliage Vrieseas had narrow leaves that i saw to start with ( to much Gigantea seideliana (Nova ) in them) thats why i started to use the straight Gigantea ,it reduces plant size ( mostly ) but gives big broad leaves ,certainly it does not impart as much colour ,but that can be fixed later.I do hope you will pick up the tweezers Japie , There was a seedling in the cross like the green one but it had the spots of Fenestralis on top of the leaves as well, very pretty plant, but i gave that one to my very beautyfull friend Melissa Dilling ,i'll get a pup one day,we share stuff and she grows wonderfull hybrids as well ,with Fenestralis you need to go further than the first generation ,i expect that plants bred from these and the Vr'Melissa Dilling ' to be far superior ( that plant is out of same F2 batch) thank you for your kind remarks Japie
|Hello Jack,
Your plants still be nice every time you post. I love to see all of your plants. You always push me to this type of broms. Drool!!! Thank for sharing.
|Thank you Yong ,its a shame they dont do well in Thailand,but your Neo's are so good and we can't have evrything my friend.
|Hi Jack,
That's a great comparo. Along with Japie I really like the fresh clean colours of 'Kakadu Forest' and I really like the pink of 'Kakadu Sunrise' as well. Individually they are both lovely plants, but seeing them together makes 1+1=5 for me. I just love the subtle variations on a theme.
If you are deliberately torturing me with anticipation, you are succeeding! It's great. Thanks a lot for the info and the inspiration. Both are very much appreciated. Cheers, Paul

|Very nice Jack.
|Well Thank you my little Frangipani , we / i have'nd heard much from you lately,how's all you seedlings doing ? giving them a bit of fertilizer ? good girl ,I shall do my best to visit you again in January .hope your plants are picking up a bit after all that torrid sun .
Cheers .Jack
|Japie, Jack's probably right to avoid putting V. sucrei into the mix. I have an Arden cross which is half sucrei, and it totally dominates. I believe the mother was (fosteriana x platynema), and I'm sure you're imagining nice tesselation and/or striation with a dark purple underside, but apart from the size of the plant, there is no trace of mama. No foliage markings at all, it just looks like a giant sucrei.
I've seen similar results when other purplish-foliaged species are introduced. There is a bleheri x fosteriana cross floating around that does show fosteriana's squiggles on a purple leaf, but it's a narrow leaf. I did a few attempts at crossing that one to other foliage types, but more often than not you get the narrow leaf minus the tesselation. It's a bit like working with zonated Neos, you get better results if you reinforce that trait.

|Hi Jack,
I really enjoy seeing your new creations, they have all the quality of creations from other master artists.
Keep up the good work, "Long live the hybridizer"
Jack, I would also appreciate a little of your brom seeds if you can see your way clear, especially Neo Kautskii.
Thanks, all the best, Nev.

Reclaimed wood flooring wins out in home renovation(Read article summary)
In renovating an old house, the flooring decision comes down to new flooring (relatively inexpensive) vs. old wood planks (more expensive but charming and recycled).
Joanne Ciccarello/Staff/The Christian Science Monitor
With our bank account steadily draining away as we renovate Sheep Dog Hollow, it's getting more difficult to make decisions that put the "green" of environmentally sound before the "green" of good old hard cash.
Our goal, as I've noted repeatedly, is to test the proposition that one can build in an environmentally sound as well as an economical manner. One of the first lessons we learned is that it can be done, but one needs to look at the word "economical" in a five- or 10-year time frame. So, for things such as geothermal heating and spray foam insulation, we opted to spend more now on cutting-edge technology to save heating and other costs in the future. It wasn't hard to justify.
But now we're talking floors. We had hoped to be able to save the old floors at Sheep Dog, but alas, most were in such bad shape that it would clearly cost more to try to patch and repair what's there than to simply put in new floors. And new wood floors from a properly managed forest are not only affordable, but also ecologically sound, according to Wood Floors Online:
Unlike most floor coverings, wood floors come from a natural resource that is sustainable. Long gone are the days when timber was cut down with little thought for the long term consequences on the nation's forests. Today most timber is cut from forests that are carefully managed to ensure continued resources in the future. In fact, according to U.S. Forest Service statistics, almost twice as much hardwood timber Is added every year through new growth as is harvested. Additionally, there is more standing hardwood timber today than there was 50 years ago.

"Mr Cameron … supports deeper integration within the euro zone, as long as Britain does not have to pay, loses no sovereignty and yet is not marginalised." In other words Britain wants to have its cake and eat it, too. If you don't want to be marginalized about euro-related policies, then join the euro. If you want to keep away from it, then don't complain. We are reaching the end of an era: Britain will no longer be able to play obstructionist. Those who believe in further European integration (France, Germany, Benelux, Austrian, with maybe 1 or 2 Southern countries) will move towards a federal Europe. The others will be relegated to Tier 2. I have no preference for one or the other: every country is sovereign and will choose whichever circle it feels comfortable with. But something tells me that little by little those in the outer circle will want to join the inner one, even Britain will do so one day. Remember that when the European Community was set up in the 1950's, the UK stayed outside disdainfully only to come begging to be allowed in in the 1970's with humiliating conditions. If the British were smart, they would join the euro now so that they could make their voice heard, rather than do it later in a wek position. Beggars are rarely choosers.
(Read Ahmed's Universe for insight and intelligence on world affairs, international business, technology, movies, travels, literature and every other human endeavor worth bothering about - http://ahmedsuniverse.blogspot.com/)
I agree with you, Ahmed about the future...wether Cameron would stay out of or enter the inner circle..I have no doubts about the british politicians just like the french.The City and La Defense would tell the dwarf and the piggycheek what to do !!!
Appreciated also your beautiful blog...and your report of a Police assault rue Amelot in downtown Paris, a dangerous street...take care, Ahmed.
From Propriano, Corsica, a top-choice assignment for « les gendarmes ».
Thanks for your comments and enjoying my blog. My objective is to give people a different perspective, so that they don't buy the bullshit that comes from our "masters" whose only aim is to keep us in bondage while they amass even more wealth.
And don't worry, rue Amelot is not a dangerous street at all. It just happens that there is a jobs office there and any disgruntled unemployed person could have done what this one did there or in any other similar office
I was teasing...with my comment on rue Amelot being in the danger zone ... not my point after reading your well documented blog.
Wherever the perspective comes from-an island or the mainland the (Hi)story isn't the same.
« England -as an island....is isolated » that's true-and reassuring today for the Britons-but more a story for the mainlanders.
And the blame is on BOTH Cameron or Sarkozy both conservative politicians, looking in their rear-viewmirror...winning the next ballot as well as the first.
The dwarf and piggycheek as captains of a rather shoddy carrier:
the cartoon on top tells it all. entente cordial indeed.
apropo: entente cordial against whom?
a certain country comes to mind.......
btw.: the leopard is a damn good tank - and they still own several thousend of them......
hey massel tov,
"the dwarf and piggycheek as captains of a rather shoddy carrier"...
I appreciated !!!! The british Establishment and french bourgeoisie top figures unchnged. Very good cartoon indeed.
The dwarf sees himself as Napoleon III...Victoria's very good friend, but not Bismark's.
well - you can say so. but -alas- no Bismarkck (sic!) in sight!
Don't You like this shortcut massel tov ? May I explain You why...?
Frau Merkel as the CDU Kanzlerin is an adept of the Realpolitik !
And the first one to link her politics to Bismarck's was the SPD Chairman Sigmar Gabriel.
And on the french Socialist side (may be Sarkozy's also...that may explain Entente Cordiale maneuvers) they remind the Bismarck's victory on Napoleon III in Sedan.
Gott mit uns !
I would have preferred to read more about future plans for "Franco-British" (Anglo-French, if you prefer) cooperation on defence matters: the construction of aircraft carriers, for example, where the potential for economies of scale seems to me to be enormous.
Of course, building an aircraft carrier would be a good project for employment and naval shipyard businesses on both sides of the English Channel. And a magnificent stage for politicians would be the ship on her launching day in Plymouth or Toulon !!! This place was choosen accordingly by Sarkozy for thursday's 2012 Presidential candidate meeting in front of a big « Marine Nationale French Navy» audience, most of them concerned by unemployment !
But let me remind you about the last bilateral French-British cooperation, the Concorde SST. « There was no precedent for Anglo-French collaboration on a major prestige industrial project, and lessons had to be learnt the hard way. At the same time, the original estimates for the programme costs were proving to be hopelessly optimistic and revised estimates were seriously undermined by the high inflation rates prevalent at the time » says the citation.
Set aside the horrible end of the last Air France flight crashing in Gonesse on July 25th 2000,
the same economic issues would occur in this XXIe century, if the UK/France together decided to launch such a new military collaboration : a brand new aircraft carrier.
The U.K. and France are already in a partnership with Germany and other nations involved in a military transport aircraft A400M collaboration. I believe this project needs a bigger qualified workforce in Bristol, Toulouse Hamburg..etc .and would bring more benefits to the European Union, based on knowledge and specific qualitys of each nation. But first they must meet the challenges, not so easy...

Gay Activists Denied Communion at Catholic College Mass by Archbishop Nienstedt Comments
Archbishop John Nienstedt recently sent out a DVD defending marriage and calling the faithful to do so with their votes in the upcoming elections. This is the reason he is being opposed by homosexual equivalency activists. The Homosexual Equivalency Movement is now engaged in open defiance right within the sanctuary of the Catholic Church. This offense against the Church masquerades as a call for equal rights. Dissident ... Continue Reading

Kenneth, ALL unmarried persons are called to chasitity/celibacy. And when doing so, in a state of Grace they ALL may receive Holy Communion. In fact, married persons who have been divorced and have not gotten an annulment, can not receive Communion either. Please don't despair and think anyone is picking on you or good people with SSA. Sex is not everything in this world, and we are not aniimals. God bless you, and your wife and children.

Sarah Palen"s question dated 10th on the St John's college has not been answered. Are the college authorities in favour of giving communion to such homosexual dissidents against the word of the Bishop ? What I find is there is a tendency on the part of some catholic priests and intellectuals to go along the modern thinking ignoring the traditional teaching of the Church based on the word of God. This is creating trouble in the West which is eager to wipe off christianity from the face of the earth.

I was encouraged and fill with joy over the strength and faith, by Bishop Nienstadt. I pray God to continues stand by the church against every contrary activities that some faithful of the church try to bring for their self indulgence. I pray God to guide the church and the leader to lead aright in line with the goodnews and teaching of Jesus Christ himself.
We pray for the gayist to turn a new leave and agree with the church teaching of holiness.

I am a Muslim, and I admire the integrity of the bishop for refusing to sanctify the immoral practices of homosexualists. All of Abraham's children, Jews, Christians, and Muslims, are under attack by this radical and immoral ideology. May Allah the Almighty have mercy on our nation.

We all need to follow this adorable saint:
Mother Teresa often said, "Holiness is not the luxury of the few, it is a simple duty for each one of us." May her example help us to strive for holiness: to love God, to respect and love every human person created by God in His own image and in whom He dwells, and to care for our poor and suffering brethren. May all the sick, the suffering, and those who seek God's help find a friend and intercessor in Mother.

All my life I have been living with the gilt of being Gay. As a catholic I have married and had 3 beautiful children (all grown up now). Every day I fight with my feelings and my strong catholic belief. Some days I wish God would just take me so my suffering would end. Please don't put Gay people dqwn But pray for them. Remember Jesus died for all of us. Jesus have mercy, Christ have mercy.

Jesus accepts all, as a matter of fact He came for the lost and not the saved. BUT the homosexuals and the like, He loves but please communion is not f or them. Thank God for Arch. John Nienstedt. We pray for the Grace of God upon all of us to come out boldly and speak, and we also pray for mercy on the homosexuals and the like. Thank you.

I appreciate the article. It helps give us some concrete answers and examples when objections to our "intolerant views" are strongly voiced against us. I believe it was G.K. Chesterton who said something to the effect of: "Right is right even if nobody is right and wrong is still wrong even if everybody is wrong". This archbisop has some great company. We were the original diocese of then Bishop Burke, now of Rome. Thank you

The very sad fact of the matter is that folks with same sex attractions suffer much more then the heterosexual population, even when they live in homosexual enclaves where their same sex attraction is viewed as totally acceptable and normal. How do they suffer more? They have increased rates of depression, substance abuse, suicide, and physical disease (in addition to AIDS). The same sex attraction does seem to have a tendency to trigger other harmful emotional and physical ailments resulting in drastically lower life spans. Anyone interested in reading more about the research supporting this should go to the following web site and scroll half way down to "What does scientific evidence show about homosexuality?" http://www.catholic.com/library/gay_marriage.asp Giving in and promoting this behavior is like giving whiskey to an alcoholic. Whether they want to hear it or not, the Archbishop had to deny them the Sacrement to make a point, which is for their own good. These poor souls suffering with same sex attractions need our prayers.

'Roswell' That Ends Well?
Want to persuade a network to renew a show? Try condiments. Rabid fans of Roswell have barraged The WB with bottles of Tabasco sauce (the series' alien kids can't get enough of the stuff) in an attempt to keep the freshman alive. A save-the-show campaign (via e-mail) has also been launched for Felicity. Both shows could use the help: After a rosy start, Roswell faltered because producers couldn't decide whether it was a love story or science fiction; and after a bang-up first season, Felicity lost viewers when it moved to Sunday nights. So they'll remain on the renewal bubble, unless they show promise in their new time slots (Roswell moved to 9 p.m. Mondays and Felicity to 9 p.m. Wednesdays). ''The shows are in question because of ratings,'' admits exec VP of programming Jordan Levin. ''We want to bring them back. But we also want to make a case to advertisers that these shows are growing, not declining.'' Perhaps fans should forgo Tabasco for a little Miracle-Gro.
Female Troubles
The decision by ABC TV Network prez Pat Fili-Krushel to resign and join an Internet company does more than just open up another executive slot at the Alphabet it further decimates the ranks of high-level women in TV. CBS Entertainment prez Nancy Tellem now stands as the most powerful woman in broadcast TV, followed by Susanne Daniels, entertainment prez at The WB, but their responsibilities don't compare with Fili-Krushel's, whose turf included daytime, prime time, news, sports, marketing, and affiliates. Just a few years back, the TV landscape was more estrogen heavy: Lucie Salhany reigned as CEO of UPN, Kay Koplovitz founded and chaired USA Networks, Margaret Loesch was the vice chair at Fox Kids Worldwide, and Jamie Tarses was ABC's entertainment president. All preceded Fili-Krushel in leaving their posts, yet none were replaced by women. But Tellem expects it to get more crowded at the top shortly: ''With all of the changes in the industry, the chances are much greater that we'll see women in those ranks,'' she says. We'll see.
On the Ball
Though American Beauty's Alan Ball called his Oscar win a ''karmic payback for four hellish years in television'' (he used to write for Cybill), the scribe isn't done with TV just yet. He's penning an HBO series about a family that runs a funeral home. ''It's dark, funny, and similar in tone to American Beauty,'' says Ball, who plans to direct the pilot. ''The one note I got from HBO was, 'Could it be more f---ed up?' I thought, thank you, God.''
