Cappella Romana is pleased to present the program "Echoes of the Renaissance" as part of its 2014-2015 Northwest Series Season. Dr. Tikey Zes (b. 1927) is the most prolific composer of Greek Orthodox liturgical music in America. Long a proponent of Zes's music, Cappella Romana will perform excerpts of a setting of his Divine Liturgy that Cappella Romana released on CD last season. Preceding the music of Zes are excerpts from the Missa MiMi by Johannes Ockeghem, who with other masters of the Renaissance inspired Zes's approach to modal harmony and counterpoint. Zes recorded the Ockeghem Missa MiMi on LP with his Berkeley Chamber Singers in the 1960s, at the dawn of the modern Early Music movement.

The Beacon is open every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. More than 85% of Beacon services are operated by volunteers. The Beacon serves approximately 600 clients daily and, some days, surpasses 750 clients. One of the most important services provided by The Beacon is case management. Our goal is to do more than simply feed people and put them back on the street. The Beacon is helping clients identify, locate, and access services that can help them address the root causes of their homelessness and begin the journey towards moving off of the streets and becoming self-sufficient. Case management guides clients through a complex system, providing tools that ultimately lead to increased stability. For more information: http://www.beaconhomeless.org/

Isuzu Prices Paid and Buying Experience
toddswagner Posts: 31I bought my 2001 Trooper S in Atlanta as well. Paid 20,800 for it and 22,500 all in. It listed for 27,500, so I felt like I got a real deal. I needed something to pull my boat and still be Japanese. 4runners didn't have the horsepower and I didn't want to spend 40k on a sequoya. I really enjoy it so far.
conman2000 Posts: 158
bstreet Posts: 37Hi,
I need help from the "real" experts that are here on the board. I"m trying to make a deal on a 2001 Rodeo...a little wary about this "deal" I was offered. It's a 2001 LS Rodeo DEMO (already with 5400 miles). Nothing added. They're quoting me MSRP of $26,164 and will sell it for $24,350. The second "deal" they offered was a 2000 LS wiht moon roof, 6 disc changer, and woodgrain for MSRP $26,949, selling price of $26,227. Finally, the Trooper deal they offered was a 2001 S (nothing added)MSRP $27,772 and sell for $26,745. I did my research and these seems like BAD deals. Anyone have advice, please? -
toddswagner Posts: 31I don't know what the interest rate was because we got it through the credit union and write the interest off on our taxes as a tax saver loan. We do that with our boat and other car. I don't know about the rebate program because another dealership had an ad for a S model at 21,000. We took it to another dealership, and they came off that price, then we went to another dealership and they beat that with lifetime oil changes. This dealership was an Isuzu only dealership.
toddswagner Posts: 31The dealerships will get you one way or another. If you get the 0% financing, they will not come off the price at all, but if you get some kind of interest rate, they will come off the price. Since I financed with the credit union I didn't care about 0% interest because I wanted my car payments at a certain level. I guess 0% is good because car dealerships front end load the loans, so when you come back in 3 years to trade it in, you still owe a lot because you are paying mainly interest for the first couple of years. The credit union loan is simple interest. Dealers always have ways to get you, but since I couldn't find a decent used Trooper, I had to get a new one.
88trooperguy Posts: 2Can anyone help me here? I went to two dealers to price a new Trooper limited. Dealer one quoted me for a MSRP of $35358 a Trooper at "dealer cost" of 31851. This does not sound right. Edmunds quotes a Invoice of 30286 for the same MSRP. The Dealer says ( of course ) that the "internet prices are not correct". His breakdown:
"Base dealer cost" 30286
advertising fee 300
"holdback" 1046
"floor plan" 349
total cost to me 31851
Needless to say I asked what is the justification for these added fees is. They said that is to cover costs of financing the vehicle, interest expense , dealer prep, etc. I replied the rest of the world defines holdback as a payment from the manufacturer at the end of the year , for these costs. I never paid these before and I have bought Hondas when they were in high demand and never paid these fees. They were adamant that the customer pays these. I booked out of there.
The second dealer quoted a price of $250 above "dealer cost" . For the same MSRP he quoted a price 32276 as $250 above "dealer cost", meaning his stated cost was 32026, which is about $2000 higher than edmunds invoice cost. kelley blue book says the invoice is 31678 and carpoint says 31725. What gives? Have these Troopers become such a hot item that they can get these prices, or do they both think that people are idiots and will pay anything all of a sudden. Both dealers had lots of Axioms and some Troopers on the lot, so I dont think they are flying out the door. Or are the dealers trying to subsidize the zero percent financing offer. Reading posts I dont see anyone paying this much. Help?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -
gpm5 Posts: 785There is no justification for that--look up the invoice cost at the edmunds site with all options, which you did--they are usually fairly accurate--ask him to show you the invoice for comparison. Look at the dealer holdback at the Edmunds site if applicable. If you are getting 0% financing take that into consideration by doing a calculation with 7.5-8%. Then decide how much over cost you want to give this dealer--be it $1000 or $500 or $1500 or whatever. If you think 1000 over is fair make him the offer, be ready to walk, and tell him if he doesn't take it someone else will, before you tell him you will walk. If the trooper is still sitting there in 2 weeks ask him if he'll take the offer then. Remember, the dealer doesn't make any money by having the trooper sitting in his lot and in fact after a certain interest-free grace period the dealer begins losing money if its sitting there.

eddie1337 Posts: 8Hello people. Here's the deal that they gave me is $22,121 out the door that tags, title and everything. Here are the options...

scootdale Posts: 8Hello all. I have been kicking around the idea of replacing my 1991 S10 Blazer 2dr. 2WD for an SUV with 4WD. Have done alot of looking on the internet and am not impressed with the GM or Ford fair...Am really interested in the Isuzu line of TRUCKS (not cars with a lift and big tires)... Can only afford about 25k all told. Wish could afford a Trooper, but seems to get one with some options it will get "pricey". Any owners have info on the Rodeo Sport?
paisan Posts: 21,181
conman2000 Posts: 158I just got a 01 Trooper LS w/moonroof for $29,710 + $20 "document fee" and tax and tag in NY. With 0% for 60 months, this makes the truck atleast $6,000 cheaper cause of the interest saving alone. So it was as if I paid $23,710 because of the Int. saving. You can't get a Pathfiner, 4runner, Montero Sport with sunroof or heated seats at that price. You would have to spend closer to 30k plus interest to get that(makes it almost $36k to get them) Make the Isuzu's a much better deal than anything out there. If you pay cash, then a different story.

bluedevils Posts: 2,554While it's true that the huge discounts make buying a *new* Trooper a very attractive choice, buying one of these "Isuzu rep" or "corporate" vehicles is a great way to get an almost-new Trooper for thousands of dollars less than a brand-new one.
The trick seems to be finding an Isuzu dealer that regularly stocks its lot with these barely used creampuffs, which they buy at Isuzu-dealer-only auctions periodically held by Isuzu of America.
I bought a 98 with Performance Package, 7000 miles, this way. Cost $21,000 (no trade-in involved). A new one would have been about $3,000 more. Like basketballkid's, my Troop was considered new and I am the original owner in Isuzu's mind for warranty purposes. I received the new-car questionnaire etc. I was supposed to get one with Luxury Package for $21,950 but dealer claimed an honest mistake at the last minute and said real price was $24,950. They offered it to me for $23,900, which I refused. I had them dead to rights for $21,950 but didn't want to fight them for it. In hindsight, I should have bought the Luxury Package; I wish I had the huge moonroof, heated leather, etc. -
bluedevils Posts: 2,554I would call this "stupid pricing" but not "sleazy advertising." The facts are that most manufacturer-backed financing or rebate programs are an either/or deal. I.e., you can't get both. So if you choose the 0% financing, your price should be about $3k more than the guy who chooses the rebate.
I doubt that 0% financing and MSRP pricing is their final offer; they may require buyers to negotiate to do better. If it is their best price, then their trucks will rot on the lot because MSRP is much higher than most Isuzu dealers charge for their vehicles. -

Sorry Rich, I have to disagree with you on that one. A mousetrap is still a mousetrap, there are better mousetraps...but they are still mousetraps. Its like the difference between wants and needs. You need it to play and record, etc....you want it to do it as fast as possible.
I 100% agree that certain models are faster than others and they would be more desirable to have, but they are still functionally equivalent. I guess I dont see how anyone can disagree with pure and simple facts. Are we using different dictionaries for the term "functionally equivalent"?
Let's go back to the Chevette and the Corvette. If I offered you each at no cost which one would you take? The Corvette, I'd imagine. Why, because it's a better built car (I'm assuming the Chevette is new) and is faster, handles better, and costs a lot more. Isn't that what D* tries to do when they give someone a lesser model of the HRs and tries to explain it by saying they are equal?
I just looked up the term "functionally equivalent" and got nothing that pertains to D* and it's usage of the term. I've done this several times and come up with not a whole lot. "Functional equivalent" does come up and that does have meanings that would allow D* to stretch that into what it chooses to believe or preach. Isn't speed a function? Would you be happy if they sent you a 22-100 or a 23 instead of a 24? Would you want one of those slow HRs, even if they were "functionally equivalent", according to a company that deceives the public in its ads rather blatantly? And employs CSRs that are liable to tell you anything to pacify you?

Christ comforts his disciples. (1-11) He further comforts his disciples. (12-17) He still further comforts his disciples. (18-31)
Verses 1-11 Here are three words, upon any of which stress may be laid. Upon the word troubled. Be not cast down and disquieted. The word heart. Let your heart be kept with full trust in God. The word your. However others are overwhelmed with the sorrows of this present time, be not you so. Christ's disciples, more than others, should keep their minds quiet, when everything else is unquiet. Here is the remedy against this trouble of mind, "Believe." By believing in Christ as the Mediator between God and man, we gain comfort. The happiness of heaven is spoken of as in a father's house. There are many mansions, for there are many sons to be brought to glory. Mansions are lasting dwellings. Christ will be the Finisher of that of which he is the Author or Beginner; if he have prepared the place for us, he will prepare us for it. Christ is the sinner's Way to the Father and to heaven, in his person as God manifest in the flesh, in his atoning sacrifice, and as our Advocate. He is the Truth, as fulfilling all the prophecies of a Saviour; believing which, sinners come by him the Way. He is the Life, by whose life-giving Spirit the dead in sin are quickened. Nor can any man draw nigh God as a Father, who is not quickened by Him as the Life, and taught by Him as the Truth, to come by Him as the Way. By Christ, as the Way, our prayers go to God, and his blessings come to us; this is the Way that leads to rest, the good old Way. He is the Resurrection and the Life. All that saw Christ by faith, saw the Father in Him. In the light of Christ's doctrine, they saw God as the Father of lights; and in Christ's miracles, they saw God as the God of power. The holiness of God shone in the spotless purity of Christ's life. We are to believe the revelation of God to man in Christ; for the works of the Redeemer show forth his own glory, and God in him.
Verses 12-17 Whatever we ask in Christ's name, that shall be for our good, and suitable to our state, he shall give it to us. To ask in Christ's name, is to plead his merit and intercession, and to depend upon that plea. The gift of the Spirit is a fruit of Christ's mediation, bought by his merit, and received by his intercession. The word used here, signifies an advocate, counsellor, monitor, and comforter. He would abide with the disciples to the end of time; his gifts and graces would encourage their hearts. The expressions used here and elsewhere, plainly denote a person, and the office itself includes all the Divine perfections. The gift of the Holy Ghost is bestowed upon the disciples of Christ, and not on the world. This is the favour God bears to his chosen. As the source of holiness and happiness, the Holy Spirit will abide with every believer for ever.
Verses 18-24 Christ promises that he would continue his care of his disciples. I will not leave you orphans, or fatherless, for though I leave you, yet I leave you this comfort, I will come to you. I will come speedily to you at my resurrection. I will come daily to you in my Spirit; in the tokens of his love, and visits of his grace. I will come certainly at the end of time. Those only that see Christ with an eye of faith, shall see him for ever: the world sees him no more till his second coming; but his disciples have communion with him in his absence. These mysteries will be fully known in heaven. It is a further act of grace, that they should know it, and have the comfort of it. Having Christ's commands, we must keep them. And having them in our heads, we must keep them in our hearts and lives. The surest evidence of our love to Christ is, obedience to the laws of Christ. There are spiritual tokens of Christ and his love given to all believers. Where sincere love to Christ is in the heart, there will be obedience. Love will be a commanding, constraining principle; and where love is, duty follows from a principle of gratitude. God will not only love obedient believers, but he will take pleasure in loving them, will rest in love to them. He will be with them as his home. These privileges are confined to those whose faith worketh by love, and whose love to Jesus leads them to keep his commandments. Such are partakers of the Holy Spirit's new-creating grace.
Verses 25-27 Would we know these things for our good, we must pray for, and depend on the teaching of the Holy Ghost; thus the words of Jesus will be brought to our remembrance, and many difficulties be cleared up which are not plain to others. To all the saints, the Spirit of grace is given to be a remembrancer, and to him, by faith and prayer, we should commit the keeping of what we hear and know. Peace is put for all good, and Christ has left us all that is really and truly good, all the promised good; peace of mind from our justification before God. This Christ calls his peace, for he is himself our Peace. The peace of God widely differs from that of Pharisees or hypocrites, as is shown by its humbling and holy effects.
Verses 28-31 Christ raises the expectations of his disciples to something beyond what they thought was their greatest happiness. His time was now short, he therefore spake largely to them. When we come to be sick, and to die, we may not be capable of talking much to those about us; such good counsel as we have to give, let us give while in health. Observe the prospect Christ had of an approaching conflict, not only with men, but with the powers of darkness. Satan has something in us to perplex us with, for we have all sinned; but when he would disturb Christ, he found nothing sinful to help him. The best evidence of our love to the Father is, our doing as he has commanded us. Let us rejoice in the Saviour's victories over Satan the prince of this world. Let us copy the example of his love and obedience.
John 14:1-31 . DISCOURSE AT THE TABLE, AFTER SUPPER.
We now come to that portion of the evangelical history which we may with propriety call its Holy of Holies. Our Evangelist, like a consecrated priest, alone opens up to us the view into this sanctuary. It is the record of the last moments spent by the Lord in the midst of His disciples before His passion, when words full of heavenly thought flowed from His sacred lips. All that His heart, glowing with love, had still to say to His friends, was compressed into this short season. At first (from John 13:31 ) the intercourse took the form of conversation; sitting at table, they talked familiarly together. But when ( John 14:31 ) the repast was finished, the language of Christ assumed a loftier strain; the disciples, assembled around their Master, listened to the words of life, and seldom spoke a word (only John 16:17 John 16:29 ). "At length, in the Redeemer's sublime intercessory prayer, His full soul was poured forth in express petitions to His heavenly Father on behalf of those who were His own. It is a peculiarity of these last chapters, that they treat almost exclusively of the most profound relations--as that of the Son to the Father, and of both to the Spirit, that of Christ to the Church, of the Church to the world, and so forth. Moreover, a considerable portion of these sublime communications surpassed the point of view to which the disciples had at that time attained; hence the Redeemer frequently repeats the same sentiments in order to impress them more deeply upon their minds, and, because of what they still did not understand, points them to the Holy Spirit, who would remind them of all His sayings, and lead them into all truth ( John 14:26 )" [OLSHAUSEN].
1. Let not your heart be troubled, &c.--What myriads of souls have not these opening words cheered, in deepest gloom, since first they were uttered!
ye believe in God--absolutely.
believe also in me--that is, Have the same trust in Me. What less, and what else, can these words mean? And if so, what a demand to make by one sitting familiarly with them at the supper table! Compare the saying in John 5:17 , for which the Jews took up stones to stone Him, as "making himself equal with God" ( John 14:18 ). But it is no transfer of our trust from its proper Object; it is but the concentration of our trust in the Unseen and Impalpable One upon His Own Incarnate Son, by which that trust, instead of the distant, unsteady, and too often cold and scarce real thing it otherwise is, acquires a conscious reality, warmth, and power, which makes all things new. This is Christianity in brief.
2. In my Father's house are many mansions--and so room for all, and a place for each.
if not, I would have told you--that is, I would tell you so at once; I would not deceive you.
I go to prepare a place for you--to obtain for you a right to be there, and to possess your "place."
3. I will come again and receive you unto myself--strictly, at His Personal appearing; but in a secondary and comforting sense, to each individually. Mark again the claim made:--to come again to receive His people to Himself, that where He is there they may be also. He thinks it ought to be enough to be assured that they shall be where He is and in His keeping.
4-7. whither I go ye know . . . Thomas saith, Lord, we know not whither thou guest . . . Jesus saith, I am the way, &c.--By saying this, He meant rather to draw out their inquiries and reply to them. Christ is "THE WAY" to the Father--"no man cometh unto the Father but by Me"; He is "THE TRUTH" of all we find in the Father when we get to Him, "For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily" ( Colossians 2:9 ), and He is all "THE LIFE" that shall ever flow to us and bless us from the Godhead thus approached and thus manifested in Him--"this is the true God and eternal life" ( 1 John 5:20 ).
7. from henceforth--now, or from this time, understand.
8-12. The substance of this passage is that the Son is the ordained and perfect manifestation of the Father, that His own word for this ought to His disciples to be enough; that if any doubts remained His works ought to remove them works of His were designed merely to aid weak faith, and would be repeated, nay exceeded, by His disciples, in virtue of the power He would confer on them after His departure. His miracles the apostles wrought, though wholly in His name and by His power, and the "greater" works--not in degree but in kind--were the conversion of thousands in a day, by His Spirit accompanying them.
13, 14. whatsoever ye . . . ask in my name--as Mediator.
that will I do--as Head and Lord of the kingdom of God. This comprehensive promise is emphatically repeated in John 14:14 .
15-17. If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, &c.--This connection seems designed to teach that the proper temple for the indwelling Spirit of Jesus is a heart filled with that love to Him which lives actively for Him, and so this was the fitting preparation for the promised gift.
he shall give you another Comforter--a word used only by John; in his Gospel with reference to the Holy Spirit, in his First Epistle ( 1 John 2:1 ), with reference to Christ Himself. Its proper sense is an "advocate," "patron," "helper." In this sense it is plainly meant of Christ ( 1 John 2:1 ), and in this sense it comprehends all the comfort as well as aid of the Spirit's work. The Spirit is here promised as One who would supply Christ's own place in His absence.
that he may abide with you for ever--never go away, as Jesus was going to do in the body.
17. whom the world cannot receive, &c.--(See 1 Corinthians 2:14 ).
he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you--Though the proper fulness of both these was yet future, our Lord, by using both the present and the future, seems plainly to say that they already had the germ of this great blessing.
18-20. I will not leave you comfortless--in a bereaved and desolate condition; or (as in Margin) "orphans."
I will come to you--"I come" or "am coming" to you; that is, plainly by the Spirit, since it was to make His departure to be no bereavement.
19. world seeth--beholdeth.
me no more, but ye see--behold.
me--His bodily presence, being all the sight of Him which "the world" ever had, or was capable of, it "beheld Him no more" after His departure to the Father; but by the coming of the Spirit, the presence of Christ was not only continued to His spiritually enlightened disciples, but rendered far more efficacious and blissful than His bodily presence had been before the Spirit's coming.
because I live--not "shall live," only when raised from the dead; for it is His unextinguishable, divine life of which He speaks, in view of which His death and resurrection were but as shadows passing over the sun's glorious disk. (Compare Luke 24:5 , Revelation 1:18 , "the Living One"). And this grand saying Jesus uttered with death immediately in view. What a brightness does this throw over the next clause, "ye shall live also!" "Knowest thou not," said LUTHER to the King of Terrors, "that thou didst devour the Lord Christ, but wert obliged to give Him back, and wert devoured of Him? So thou must leave me undevoured because I abide in Him, and live and suffer for His name's sake. Men may hunt me out of the world--that I care not for--but I shall not on that account abide in death. I shall live with my Lord Christ, since I know and believe that He liveth!" (quoted in STIER).
20. At that day--of the Spirit's coming.
ye shall know that I am in my Father, ye in me, I in
21. He that hath my commandments and keepeth them,
my Father and I will love him--Mark the sharp line of distinction here, not only between the Divine Persons but the actings of love in Each respectively, towards true disciples.
22. Judas saith . . . not Iscariot--Beautiful parenthesis this! The traitor being no longer present, we needed not to be told that this question came not from him. But it is as if the Evangelist had said, "A very different Judas from the traitor, and a very different question from any that he would have put. Indeed [as one in STIER says], we never read of Iscariot that he entered in any way into his Master's words, or ever put a question even of rash curiosity (though it may be he did, but that nothing from him was deemed fit for immortality in the Gospels but his name and treason)."
how . . . manifest thyself to us, and not to the world--a most natural and proper question, founded on John 14:19 , though interpreters speak against it as Jewish.
23. we will come and make our abode with him--Astonishing statement! In the Father's "coming" He "refers to the revelation of Him as a Father to the soul, which does not take place till the Spirit comes into the heart, teaching it to cry, Abba, Father" [OLSHAUSEN]. The "abode" means a permanent, eternal stay! (Compare Leviticus 26:11 Leviticus 26:12 , Ezekiel 37:26 Ezekiel 37:27 , 2 Corinthians 6:16 ; and contrast Jeremiah 14:8 ).
25, 26. he shall teach you all things, and bring all to . . . remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto so the Father shall send the Spirit in My name, says Jesus, that is, with like divine power and authority to reproduce in their souls what Christ taught them, "bringing to living consciousness what lay like slumbering germs in their minds" [OLSHAUSEN]. On this rests the credibility and ultimate divine authority of THE GOSPEL HISTORY. The whole of what is here said of THE SPIRIT is decisive of His divine personality. "He who can regard all the personal expressions, applied to the Spirit in these three chapters ('teaching,' 'reminding,' 'testifying,' 'coming,' 'convincing,' 'guiding,' 'speaking,' 'hearing,' 'prophesying,' 'taking') as being no other than a long drawn-out figure, deserves not to be recognized even as an interpreter of intelligible words, much less an expositor of Holy Scripture" [STIER].
27. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you--If John 14:25 John 14:26 sounded like a note of preparation for drawing the discourse to a close, this would sound like a farewell. But oh, how different from ordinary adieus! It is a parting word, but of richest import, the customary "peace" of a parting friend sublimed and transfigured. As "the Prince of Peace" ( Isaiah 9:6 ) He brought it into flesh, carried it about in His Own Person ("My peace") died to make it ours, left it as the heritage of His disciples upon earth, implants and maintains it by His Spirit in their hearts. Many a legacy is "left" that is never "given" to the legatee, many a gift destined that never reaches its proper object. But Christ is the Executor of His own Testament; the peace He "leaves" He "gives"; Thus all is secure.
not as the world giveth--in contrast with the world, He gives sincerely, substantially, eternally.
28. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father, for my Father is greater than I--These words, which Arians and Socinians perpetually quote as triumphant evidence against the proper Divinity of Christ, really yield no intelligible sense on their principles. Were a holy man on his deathbed, beholding his friends in tears at the prospect of losing him, to say, "Ye ought rather to joy than weep for me, and would if ye really loved me, "the speech would be quite natural. But if they should ask him, why joy at his departure was more suitable than sorrow, would they not start back with astonishment, if not horror, were he to reply, "Because my Father is greater than I?" Does not this strange speech from Christ's lips, then, presuppose such teaching on His part as would make it extremely difficult for them to think He could gain anything by departing to the Father, and make it necessary for Him to say expressly that there was a sense in which He could do so? Thus, this startling explanation seems plainly intended to correct such misapprehensions as might arise from the emphatic and reiterated teaching of His proper equality with the Father--as if so Exalted a Person were incapable of any accession by transition from this dismal scene to a cloudless heaven and the very bosom of the Father--and by assuring them that this was not the case, to make them forget their own sorrow in His approaching joy.
30, 31. Hereafter I will not talk much with you--"I have a little more to say, but My work hastens apace, and the approach of the adversary will cut it short."
for the prince of this
cometh--with hostile intent, for a last grand attack, having failed in His first formidable assault ( Luke 4:1-13 ) from which he "departed [only] for a season" ( John 14:13 ).
and hath nothing in me--nothing of His own--nothing to fasten on. Glorious saying! The truth of it is, that which makes the Person and Work of Christ the life of the world ( Hebrews 9:14 , 1 John 3:5 , 2 Corinthians 5:21 ).
31. But that the world may know that I love the Father, &c.--The sense must be completed thus: "But to the Prince of the world, though he has nothing in Me, I shall yield Myself up even unto death, that the world may know that I love and obey the Father, whose commandment it is that I give My life a ransom for many."
Arise, let us go hence--Did they then, at this stage of the discourse, leave the supper room, as some able interpreters conclude? If so, we think our Evangelist would have mentioned it: see John 18:1 , which seems clearly to intimate that they then only left the upper room. But what do the words mean if not this? We think it was the dictate of that saying of earlier date, "I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!"--a spontaneous and irrepressible expression of the deep eagerness of His spirit to get into the conflict, and that if, as is likely, it was responded to somewhat too literally by the guests who hung on His lips, in the way of a movement to depart, a wave of His hand, would be enough to show that He had yet more to say ere they broke up; and that disciple, whose pen was dipped in a love to his Master which made their movements of small consequence save when essential to the illustration of His words, would record this little outburst of the Lamb hastening to the slaughter, in the very midst of His lofty discourse; while the effect of it, if any, upon His hearers, as of no consequence, would naturally enough be passed over.

Iowa's Blank Park Zoo is teaming up with 10 organizations to introduce Plant.Grow.Fly., a conservation initiative to bring back native pollinators. This project encourages community members to plant pollinator habitat in yards, schools and businesses.
This initiative is backed by several organizations including: Iowa State University's Reiman Gardens, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Science Center of Iowa, Drake University, Polk County Conservation, Warren County Conservation, Madison County Conservation, Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden and DMACC West Campus as well as a national program, Monarch Joint Venture.
"One-third of our global food supply depends on pollinators and much of our world's biodiversity relies on the services they provide. Pollinators, like butterflies and bees, are declining at an alarming rate in our rapidly changing environment," said Jessie Lowry, Blank Park Zoo's Conservation Coordinator.
Lowry said the Plant.Grow.Fly. project is developing a gardening how-to guide that can be found at www.plantgrowfly.com.
"Insects are an integral part of our environment, making more resources available will help to insure the survival of these amazing animals," said Nathan Brockman, Butterfly Wing Curator at Reiman Gardens.
"Using region-specific garden recipes, you can plant the flowers and grasses that benefit our local species the most," said Lowry. "We believe that no effort is too small and that each of us can do our part to preserve the biodiversity around us - just by planning gardens in our yards."
Photos of butterflies and the Plant.Grow.Fly logo can be found at http://blankparkzoo.us/clients/plantgrowfly/.

Just to clarify, there are different types of diabetes. My son- 17 is a type 1 diabetic which is an auto-immune disease. He can have sugar, just has to count carbs and bolus (give insulin) for it. Type 2 is the lifestyle disease (although it can be inherited) which is SOOOO common now. Sounds like your co-worker has type 2. Sorry to be picky but I try to educate because calling it all 'diabetes' is unfair to type 1's (formerly call juvenile diabetes, but people can get it in their adult years, so they changed the name. The Bears' QB got it in his adulthood and he's sure physically fit! lol). It's like calling all cancers just cancer and not specifying which type.
I'm not picking on you! lol, just being a mom and educating people because I know how it affects my son.:)
Yes that's type 2. In Type 1 the body attacks its own insulin-producing cells and kills them so the person HAS to use insulin in order to live. This is a permanent condition unless they find a cure.
People like your co-worker produce insulin, but their body can't use it properly. Exercise and healthy eating (esp.becoming a vegan) can sometimes even stop the disease.
Thanks for listening and not being offended! Some people actually get mad that I want people to differentiate between the two types, but having people say ignorant things to my son like if he exercised more (he's not overweight even), or didn't eat a cupcake, he wouldn't be diabetic. It's the Momma Bear in me! lol. :)
The description of her eating habits managed to disgust me, and I'm not exactly a walking stick. But as everyone is saying, it's her body, and her choice. Not everyone wants to try to live to be a centurion. Some people would rather die young while enjoying life than live to an old age fretting about their health. *shrug*
What you might want to do is not be around when she's eating if that bothers you. The only thing I could see you doing is explaining to her that her language is not appropriate for the professional setting. If she doesn't want to fix that, either, then let her. She's only making a fool of herself, not of you.
This lady seems to have enough issues to deal with, without having someone judge and criticise her. Confrontational criticism of her lifestyle will not work. You will only alienate her. The biggest condition of change is called cognitive dissonance. When your mind has two or more conflicting ideas, it causes a lot of psychological discomfort (or dissonance/discord). She is almost certainly aware of what she should be eating/of how much exercise she needs, but her behaviour is the opposite of what she knows to be healthy. So when these two conflicting ideas become strong enough and persistent enough, the internal discomfort can only be relieved by her changing her own behaviour. And of course, it takes time. Recovery is a complex issue and is beset by relapse and recovery. Try and catch her doing something healthy and praise her for it. The gold tooth is her choice and you will have to deal with your own issues over that fact. If you want to help your friend, then finding out about the cycle of change is a good place for you to start. These links will take you to some excellent articles and relatively short reading. I hope this helps.

'We could not be prouder of you,' brother of fallen firefighter says

Capt. Herbie Johnson's brother said it all.
"Herbie, we could not be prouder of you dying for what you love, doing what you loved and doing it for the city of Chicago," Chicago Police officer John Johnson said.
At Johnson's funeral Thursday on the Southwest Side, those who knew the Chicago Fire Dept. captain best shared humorous and poignant memories of the man with a booming laugh and "backbone beyond belief."
"To go into a burning building and not think of yourself, that was Herbie Johnson," said Rev. Thomas McCarthy. "When you were ever in Herbie's presence, he forced us to love and to love life, and to do it to the 10th degree."
Johnson, 54, died last week while fighting a fire in the 2300 block of West 50th Place.
His wife, children and extended family shared the front row at the packed St. Rita of Cascia Shrine Chapel.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel offered support to Johnson's family.
"I want you to know, your city is there with you to offer strength and comfort," Emanuel said. "…Our city is richer, our city is greater because of Herbie Johnson."
The father of three flew in from Atlanta to surprise his daughter at her senior prom, just to tell her how beautiful she looked. He was the one to greet his son, Tommy, a U.S. Marine, home from Afghanistan with a loud whistle, a hug and a can of beer. And he's the man who married the love of his life, Susan, after just six weeks of dating, his sister Julie Johnson told mourners.
Earlier outside, a dark blue sea of support welcomed Johnson's family and close friends. Trees and poles on Western near 79th Street were draped in black and purple.
At the front, Ted Johnson, another of the brothers, played the bagpipe in his police uniform.
Then, silence, save for the shuffling of shoes and the hum of helicopters above, greeted Johnson's casket as his colleagues lifted it off Engine 123.
Hundreds of uniformed firefighters stood and saluted in the cold, lined up by battalions with Johnson's battalion closest to his family.
The captain's jacket adorned the front of the Engine, which he rode Friday night to the deadly fire in Chicago's Gage Park community.
Brian Woods, who survived injuries from the fire, served on the casket detail, Fire Commissioner Jose A. Santiago said.
Woods is doing well, "much better today. He was smiling today," Santiago said. "We were concerned about him."
Rosa Ortiz, who lived in the building that burned, was among the mourners hoping to speak to the Johnson family. Ortiz was outside the funeral with her sister, Sylvia Soria.
"We brought flowers. We feel sorry for them," Soria said.
"She feels so bad," Soria continued, interpreting for her sister. "He was the last person she saw when he went up to the fire."
Fire departments from all over the country — and several Canadian cities, too — joined Chicago in mourning Johnson. Some lent the usual moral support. Others, like guys from New York, came specifically for their friend.
Johnson cooked in firehouses after 9/11, and attended firefighter funerals.
"I knew Herbie, that's why I'm here," said New York City firefighter James Schneider, who Johnson at a charity event. "Ironically the last time I talked to him was 9/11 [this year], and he said, 'I'll see you in Chicago'…"May he rest in peace."
A golf outing Johnson hosted in Myrtle Beach, S.C., introduced him to firefighters from Charleston; he solidified a bond while offering comfort there after nine firefighters were killed in a 2007 fire.
"Everybody talks about how crazy Herbie was, we just want to talk about what a brother he was," said Asst. Chief Robert O'Donald, attending the services with firefighters from Charleston.
"Herbie was truly an ambassador for the Chicago Fire Department everywhere he went," O'Donald said. "He just reeked of brotherhood."

Leaving your child at home while you travel may be a frightening and stressful prospect if you've never done it before — and even if you have!
But you can prepare your child before you leave so that both of you can feel more comfortable.
Kids' readiness to stay at home depends largely on their age. Separation anxiety is common among kids between 6 months and 2 years old. For them, comfort is vital. Make sure they'll feel comfortable with a babysitter while you're gone and keep their normal daily routines going. If possible, it's better for kids at this stage to stay in their own home while parents are away rather than at someone else's house.
Preschoolers might not understand why a parent is leaving, may worry that they've done something wrong to cause it, and might think that the separation is punishment. So it's important to assure them that this isn't the case and to explain the reason for a trip in terms they understand.
Often, preschoolers will react to a parent's departure by regressing to younger behaviors, such as whining or asking for a bottle. If your child reacts that way, a reminder from you that the behavior is not appropriate and that you won't change your travel plans can be effective.
School-age kids might more directly show their feelings of sadness or anger about a parent's departure. Kids ages 6 to 8 may feel comforted by something of yours to keep close while you're gone.
Older kids may seem extra-moody about a parent's departure and act angry one moment and clingy the next. So consider scheduling activities to engage them while you're gone. It's important to reassure them that you'll miss them, too, and that you trust that the babysitter will take good care of them.
If your kids are teenagers, they might feel like they don't even need a babysitter while you're traveling. If you also have younger children, you can explain that the caregiver is there because of them and ask your teen to help the babysitter look after the younger kids while you are gone.
If you have only a teen and are not comfortable with leaving him or her alone, it is important to convey your concerns and to explain why you feel more comfortable having someone else in the house. If you do decide to leave your teen alone, establish clear rules for the time that you're away. And it's a good idea to have a friend or neighbor look in on your teen while you're gone.
If possible, try to have the person caring for your kids visit before you leave. This will help them be more comfortable with that person and your plans to go away. It's also a chance to review the house rules, the kids' daily routines, and other important issues with the caregiver.
Things to cover:
Also consider leaving these with the caregiver:
A well-stocked medicine cabinet should have:
If your child takes medication regularly, make sure there's a sufficient supply and that your caregiver knows how to administer it.
Besides your itinerary, leave a folder with your child's medical information and these phone numbers:
Important medical information in the folder should include:
Check in with the caregiver regularly, if possible. Think carefully about how much contact will comfort your child while you're away. Some kids might need postcards or a daily phone call or email message, whereas others might get more upset when they hear a parent's voice.
Review basic details about your travel plans with your kids before you leave. You can mark your travel dates on a calendar to help them understand how long you'll be gone or instruct the caregiver to cross off each day at bedtime.
Be prepared for your child's behavior when you return. Young kids sometimes feel angry at their parents for leaving and act out or ignore them when they return.
If this happens, provide your child with the same sort of reassurance and discipline that you would in any other situation. Certainly, you should try to hug or kiss your child when you return but don't push it if your child is still angry.

Farm Press Release
DES MOINES. Attorney General Tom Miller urged Iowans to finish replacing Bridgestone/Firestone tires named in the company's voluntary recall, and also certain other Bridgestone/Firestone tires the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says may pose a possible safety risk because of tread separation.
On August 9, Bridgestone/Firestone announced that it was recalling about 6.5 million tires and offering free replacement tires or payment up to $100 each for tires replaced with other brands. On Sept. 1, NHTSA issued a "Consumer Advisory" recommending that consumers replace other tires not included in the recall. NHTSA said it was "concerned about the possible safety risk associated with those tires" because the agency's review of data provided by the company indicated that certain other model tires also had high tread separation rates. Bridgestone/Firestone has not included the "NHTSA Advisory" tires in its recall, but the company is offering consumers free replacement tires or compensation up to $140 for tires replaced with other brands.
"We want to be sure people are replacing the NHTSA Advisory tires as well as the recall tires," Miller said. "The main recall has had a lot of publicity and seems to be going well in Iowa, but some people may not have noticed the NHTSA Advisory list of tires that also could pose a risk, or the company's offer to replace or pay for those tires, too."
Miller said the NHTSA Advisory involves fewer tires, about 1.4 million, and that the tires were manufactured earlier so many may no longer be on the road. Most of the tires were sold as replacement tires for light trucks and sport utility vehicles and not as original tires on new vehicles.
The NHTSA Advisory said its review of data on damage claims, personal injury claims and lawsuits indicated that the rate of tread separation on some of the tire models in the Advisory exceeded the separation rate for recalled tires, sometimes by a large margin. NHTSA on August 30 recommended expanding the recall to include these tire models, but Bridgestone/Firestone declined.
Bridgestone/Firestone dealers will replace free of charge any NHTSA Advisory tires (as well as the recall tires.) The company will replace the tires for individuals or companies, regardless of use and condition, and without a pro rata payment. Customers will not be charged for mounting, balancing, valve stem, sales tax, or disposal fees. The company will select the brand and type of replacement tires.
Bridgestone/Firestone will reimburse consumers up to $140 per tire for tires replaced with competitors' brands, regardless of the use or condition of the tire to be replaced. The $140 reimbursement includes mounting, balancing, valve stem, sales tax, and disposal fees. Consumers must return the replaced tires and an original receipt to an authorized Bridgestone/Firestone retailer to obtain reimbursement forms. Reimbursement is likely to take four to six weeks.
Miller said the NHTSA Advisory included 24 tires of various models, sizes and place of manufacture. The Advisory included certain tires of these models: ATX, Firehawk ATX, ATX 23 Degree, Widetrack Radial Baja, Widetrack Radial Baja A/S, Wilderness AT, and Wilderness HT.
"I would suggest three different and easy ways to determine if your tires are involved in the NHTSA Advisory," Miller said. "First, people can simply go to a Bridgestone/ Firestone dealer and they will check your tires for you. Second, call the Attorney General's Office or go to our web site for a full list of the tires. Third, go to NHTSA's or Bridgestone/Firestone's web sites, or call the company's 800 number. Any of these sources have information to help people get off of these tires."
The sources are:
Attorney General's Office: www.IowaAttorneyGeneral.org Call 515-281-5926.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration: www.NHTSA.DOT.GOV
Bridgestone/Firestone: www.Firestone.com Call 1-800-465-1904.
Miller said those sources had full information about the tires subject to the Bridgestone/ Firestone recall, as well as tires in the NHTSA Advisory. He said his office is participating in a multi-state working group investigating the Bridgestone/Firestone tire situation.
