Fall 2013 meeting to be held in conjunction with National Assn of Evangelicals mtg
The NAE is meeting in Indianapolis, Oct 17th. In an effort to expand the potential list of people who might participate in the ACR meeting and in an effort to expose ourselves to what others of like mind are doing, the leadership team of ACR has determined to hold the fall meeting of ACR on Friday, October 18 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the same location as the NAE meeting. If you would like to attend the NAE meeting as an observer, send a personal email requesting such to Roy Taylor at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Specific information about meeting location and hotel accommodations will be forthcoming. This post is designed to allow sufficient time to adjust calendars and make travel plans.
(FYI: The Ecumenical Leadership Summit steering committee will also meet that week, prior to the NAE meeting. Their meeting is for the steering committee only and is not a large, open meeting.)
ACR meeting March 11-12 2013
Notes from the Spring 2012 meeting
From: Mark Chavez
Alex McFarland spoke to the ACR about religious liberty and related issues.
Bob Thompson stepped down as board chair after several years of creative and energetic leadership. The ACR is deeply indebted to Bob for leading the association during a time of great upheaval in the historic mainline denominations.
The ACR adopted a new constituency policy that reflects the current state of renewal movements in the mainline denominations and the new denominations that are being formed:
- The Association for Church Renewal is a network of Christian leaders whose ministry context is the mainline or former mainline denominations in North America and whose theological convictions are described as evangelical, conservative, orthodox or traditional.
- Any individual working to achieve the revitalization of a historic mainline denomination and/or foster the planting, growth and vitality of a denomination that is a Biblically orthodox off-shoot of such, is welcome to participate in ACR.
- Board members will be elected from among those individuals who adhere to the historic Christian faith and desire to further the mission of ACR as a leadership network that meets twice a year for fellowship, mutual encouragement and equipping through programs that are relevant to ACR members.
The following were elected to three-year terms to serve on the Board: Frank Lockhart, Carmen Fowler LaBerge, David Stanley, and Dick Mathisen.
The following were elected as officers:
- Board Chair – Mark Chavez
- Vice Chair – David Stanley
- Secretary – Dick Mathisen
- Treasurer – Neena Tysinger
The fall meeting will be October 15-16, 2012 in Rosslyn, VA.
Notes from the Association's Fall 2011 Meeting
From Bob Thompson
The next ACR meeting will be March 12-13, 2012 at the Holiday Inn Rosslyn Key Bridge in Arlington.
o We had excellent presentations from John Bradosky of the newly formed North American Lutheran Church (attached) and Phil Ashey of the American Anglican Council. Phil did not use a transcript but said the essence of his comments can be found in two articles – Article 1, Article 2.
o We regretfully accepted the resignation of David Runnion-Bareford as our President. David's shift to a new pastoral calling has made ongoing participation with ACR very challenging to him. He sent words of encouragement and appreciation to the ACR, and in turn the ACR expressed its deep gratitude to David for his leadership, creativity, insight, and humor across a generation of involvement in renewal.
o We also spent meaningful times together in worship and prayer, including prayer for the current strategic situations shared by our Presbyterian and Lutheran friends. We have a renewed sense that we are, indeed, at a pivotal moment in the history of the North American church. We want to discern what God is doing and be led by the Spirit as we seek to maintain a loving witness to truth.
o The ACR will continue to retool its identity and mission as a place for those with past or present mainline ties to connect, encourage, support, and inform one another. More on that in subsequent messages.

Biblical Witness Fellowship: Notes From The UCC Synod
From Biblical Witness Fellowship:
The theme of this Synod, "SAND", seemed especially appropriate as the UCC continues to sink slowly. We could only be mindful of the words of our Lord Jesus, "Everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who builds his house on the sand. The rain came down and the streams rose and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." Matthew 7:26,27
BWF issued a press release at the outset of Synod that seemed especially prescient:
The liberal UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST, the leader among protestant denominations in membership loss, is meeting at Synod 28 this weekend in Tampa, Florida using the theme of "SAND." According to the Synod Handbook (page 8-9)http://www.ucc.org/synod/pdfs/general_synod_28_handbook.pdfdescribing the event's worship focus, "sand remains a powerful image of an unimaginable quantity. It also reflects the rich imagery of desert, of journey, of shifting sands." It goes on to say, "At the Twenty-eighth General Synod in 2011, the United Church of Christ finds itself in oasis and desert. Blessed with diversity of thought, vibrant life, and shifting sands, we journey through challenging times seeking possibility, engaged in thoughtful and difficult conversations." Jesus used this image powerfully when he contrasted the wise man who built on the rock with the foolish, saying, "everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand." (Matthew 7:26)
Renewal leader David Runnion-Bareford said, "This is indeed a powerful confession by the Synod of the UCC that, having rebelled against the word of God, is on sinking sand – with our members, churches, historic witness, and identity in Christ washing away before our eyes."
- Perhaps the most striking action of Synod was to eliminate the acknowledgment of God as heavenly Father from the Constitution. Again the BWF press release just before Synod was clear about the relevance of this action. Unfortunately the Synod did not listen to our counsel and went ahead with this misguided action.
- Meeting at General Synod 28 in Tampa, Florida this weekend, the historic United Church of Christ will vote on an amendment to eliminate God the Father from Article 5, lines 9-10 of its constitution.http://www.ucc.org/synod/pdfs/proposedconstitution.pdfThe Constitution of the denomination has remained unchanged in its theological core since the United Church of Christ's founding in 1957, and remains the covenant connection with the basic truths of Christianity that keeps many churches affiliated who are otherwise alienated by the denominations very liberal agenda.
- According to renewal leader David Runnion-Bareford, "Rejecting God as Father in an age of fatherlessness is unthinkable. God acted toward us in amazing grace when He offered to be our Father through the sacrifice of his Son, Jesus Christ who offers us life in his name. This is not something we as humans made up in some other time. Rejecting our Father is act of arrogant rebellion in the name of cultural conformity that only further alienates members, churches, but more importantly God himself. We call the delegates to reject the change for God's sake."
We think that the analysis of this action in USA Today's Faith and Reason was interesting:
Particularly as it links to our press releases:http://www.reformationucc.org/2011/07/01/united-church-christ-synod-meets-sinking-sand/
In that article the author quotes UCC spokesperson Barbara Powell defending the change in language,
"It could be Father or Mother or Creator God. Our language reflects the God of all." We believe that captures the essence of the idolatry. God has revealed the wonder of his willingness to be our Father. How magnificent. When we describe God in images to please ourselves or our culture we are doing nothing more than creating an imaginary friend.
- Acknowledging a continuing decline in basic support to its general budget, United Church of Christ delegates this morning approved a national allocation of $7.1 million for 2012 and $6.8 million for 2013. This is less than ½ the basic OCWM support just a decade ago. Sinking Sand.
- Synod passed a resolution titled: "Supporting International Human Rights Related to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity" seeking to promote the LGBT agenda in foreign cultures where such behavior is "legally, politically, socially, or even religiously" condemned. This resolution will further jeopardize Christian witness particularly in Africa and Asia where Islamics use information as propaganda to compromise and persecute Christians on the grounds that they are advocates for sexual perversion. This resolution was submitted by the "Wider Church Ministries" of the UCC.
- Synod passed a resolution titled: To Counter Actions of Hostility Against Islam and the Muslim Community." Committee 12 member Paul Adkins quoted theologian Hans Kung, who said, "There will never be peace among the nations of the world until there is peace among the religions of the world" as he introduced this resolution. The conflict between Kung's syncretism and the reality that "at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow" is obvious. This resolution does not specifically say that Christianity is one way among many but it offers that impression and could be interpreted that way.
- The Synod passed a resolution titled: "The Right of LGBT Persons to Adopt and Raise Children." The point of this one is obvious.
- The Synod tabled a resolution titled: "In support of Effective and Constructive Peacemaking between Palestinians and Israelis" that would have resurrected many of the anti-Semitic, anti-Israel proposals that were put to rest in previous Synods.
- The Synod passed a resolution: "In Support of the Release of Puerto Rican Political Prisoners.". It was the fifth time the UCC Synod has passed a resolution calling for the release of Puerto Rican terrorists who perpetrated a reign of violent terror across the U.S. in the 1970's and 1980's including more than one hundred bombings and armed robberies. It was the first such resolution since 1991. In 1999, Bill Clinton offered amnesty to 12 of these terrorists one of whom, Oscar Lopez-Rivera refused because the amnesty involved an admission of guilt. This UCC resolution calls specifically for the unconditional release of Oscar Lopez-Rivera as well as Gonzalez Claudio. Claudio was apprehended in 2008 after 25 years on the lam and convicted of robbing an armored truck of $7 million in 1983, the largest heist of its kind in the history of the U.S. up to that time . Lopez-Rivera a primary leader of the FALN is widely held to be responsible for many bombings including the Fraunces Tavern Bombing in 1975 which killed four and injured over 60. He was caught in possession of 100 sticks of dynamite at his arrest. After the "12" were incarcerated the bombings and other violence related to Puerto Rican Independence stopped.
On the Lighter Side:
- the Rev. Geoffrey A. Black, UCC general minister and president, "Encouraged and Enlightened the delegates to General Synod 28 delegates and visitors at the GMP/Collegium of Officers presentation in the plenary hall of the Tampa Convention Center.
Referring to the popular business acronym for "Big Hairy Audacious Goals (B-HAGs)," Black said, "You know how we are at the United Church of Christ – we got a hold of that, and said, 'Well, that isn't quite right for us. Let's make it Big HolyAudacious Goals.' "
"These B-HAGs are only a part of what the church's organization or vision should include," said Black. "I like to remind myself that we tend to do that which we intend to do."
And then . . ..
- By a 4-to-1 margin, General Synod 28 on Tuesday passed "A Resolution for Mindful and Faithful Eating."
The resolution, submitted by the Southern California Nevada Conference, evaluates ways in which our dietary choices can have profound implications on the environment, as well as on human well-being and animal welfare. Encouraging Christians to explore and discuss how food choices can accord Christian values and beliefs.
Really?? Seriously?

Former UCC President Called to Repentance, Healing
ACR Implements Leadership Training Process
"For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building."
–I Corinthians 3:9
To be co-workers with God—to be God's field—God's building—is serious stuff. Being given this assignment by God's Word brings out our sense of inadequacy. How can we possibly be worthy or prepared for such a task?
By discerning from God's Word how to be that person.
There are many folks who just "have at it." They hear the call to be a co-worker with God and take off to do the best they can. Others pursue a lengthy Christian education which they assume with prepare them for whatever tasks come their way—only to find their training inadequate in many areas.
Some co-workers with God develop or find leadership training resources that aid them in strengthening their leadership skills—in plowing their personal fields of gifts and graces—in allowing God to build them up in preparation for service. While many such leadership programs are excellent, few are comprehensive.
The Association for Church Renewal has entered into partnership with EQUIP (www.iequip.org): a national/international leadership training ministry that partners with hundreds of ministries, to train over three million leaders in 148 countries.
The ACR/EQUIP curriculum is Biblically-based, promoting Christ-like, servant-leadership. The resources are flexible and adaptable to the needs of partner organizations.
The ACR/EQUIP leadership material is comprehensive, shaping God's co-workers through spiritual formation, plowing the field of skill formation, and finishing off the building with strategic formation.
What do these stages of formation encompass?
- Spiritual Formation: Integrity; Ethics; Humility; Motives: Core Values
- Skill Formation: Developing People; Communicating; Team Building; Problem Solving
- Strategic Formation: Effective Planning; Priorities; Vision
Leadership training is not a one time event—it is a process. This means leadership training must be ongoing to be effective.
We are living in a time when biblical leadership is needed as never before. A crisis of confidence toward leadership within our culture and within the church shout to this need.
Christian leader—will you be instrumental in bringing biblical, servant leadership training to your denomination?
If your interest is piqued, call Faye Short (706-778-5032), ACR Director of Leadership Training, for more information about starting a comprehensive leadership training program in your church or denomination.
Don't wait—our time is short to equip God's co-workers for the harvest.
An Open Letter to the Editor of The Lutheran, the magazine of the ELCA from Dr. Carl Braaten
An Open Letter to Mr. Daniel J. Lehmann
Editor, The Lutheran, Magazine of the ELCA
8765 W. Higgins Rd.
Chicago, IL 60631
Dear Sir:.
I am writing in response to your editorial in the October 2010 issue of The Lutheran, the magazine of the ELCA. In that editorial you write about the formation of a new Lutheran church body, the North American Lutheran Church. You make a number of statements that are either petty or untrue, creating a false impression.
1) You observe that "the NALC becomes, in the eyes of this magazine, one more Lutheran denomination" and you assert that "The Lutheran won't give it any special coverage just because of its heritage." Why not? The Lutheran should serve the people of the ELCA and not only the bureaucracy at Higgins Road. The NALC is composed entirely of congregations and pastors who left behind many close friends and relatives in the ELCA. The NALC is therefore not just another Lutheran church body, no matter what you say. It will always have a special relationship to the ELCA as "a chip off the old block." Don't you think the people of the ELCA deserve to be kept informed about what their friends and relatives are experiencing in the NALC? Your response is pitifully petty, a mere defensive reaction born of resentment.
2) You observe that "the magazine turned down an advertisement sought by organizers of the NALC gathering. It promoted a theological symposium that served as a run-up to the constituting convention." These statements are half-truths. As a journalist you should pay attention to the pesky little things called "facts." I was the initiator and coordinator of the theological conference, "Seeking New Directions for Lutheranism." I know what happened, down to every detail. The fact is that Lutheranism in North American has been and is theologically in disarray, in a state of confusion. My idea was to ask CORE to sponsor a free theological conference for all Lutherans, to discuss the identity and future of Lutheranism with integrity in an ecumenical age. When this conference was planned and announced, there was not a hint about the formation of a new church body. The theological conference was announced at the CORE assembly in September, 2009, Fishers, Indiana, at which time there was no proposal for a new church body on the table. Our theological conference was organized as a function of CORE, pure and simple. What possible objection could you as a journalist or editor have to that, unless you had already taken the side of the bureaucrats in the church struggle that led to the 2009 ELCA assembly in Minneapolis? The fact that the organization of the NALC took place chronologically soon after the theological conference was an after-thought. The advertisement that you turned down was sought by the officers of CORE and not by the organizers of the NALC, as you suggest. The ad was for a conference sponsored by CORE. Not a single word suggested anything about creating a new church body. When we planned the conference, selected the speakers, and produced the brochure, we knew nothing about the NALC, nor was it on anyone's radar screen.
3. You observe that "many if not all of those involved were still on the ELCA roster, but their actions were schismatic." Now, as a self-professed schismatic yourself, you should know from experience that neither the conference itself nor any of the speakers were guilty of actions that were schismatic. Who are you to judge that their actions were schismatic? All of the speakers are ordained ministers of the ELCA and have served for decades as professors of theology at its colleges or seminaries, in some cases more than 50 years. Neither the theme nor the aim of the conference was to call for or to promote the creation of a new church body. We are all church theologians and not church politicians. We covered the loci of Lutheran dogmatics — the authority and interpretation of Scripture, the doctrine of the Trinity, the centrality of Christ, the nature and purpose of the Church, Christian ethics, and so forth. The Lutheran theology embedded in these lectures stands on its own feet, and does not ride piggy-back on the church-political actions to start a new church. You should know that theologians who promise to serve the whole church of Jesus Christ are not beholden to the officials of any Protestant denomination. Over the years all of us speak across the ecumenical spectrum, at Catholic, Orthodox, Baptist, and Evangelical institutions. Is there something un-Lutheran or un-churchly about that? Now that the NALC is organized, as theologians we are free to speak at its events, just as we are free to speak at any non-ELCA Lutheran church bodies. That may be too difficult to grasp by those who think and act as though church theologians should be the functionaries of church bureaucrats who manipulate the levers of power. If Martin Luther were here, he might say with Yogi Berra, "It's déjà vu all over again."
4. You ask "why would the magazine assist with highlighting an event aimed at distracting, if not undermining, the ELCA?" What do you know about the aim of the theological conference? The brochure states the aim this way: "This theological conference will reaffirm the original aim of Lutheranism to be a reforming movement within the whole church that is both evangelical in preaching and orthodox in doctrine. Each of the presenters will focus on a particular article of faith at risk in Lutheranism today and spell out what we confess on the basis of Holy Scripture, the ancient Creeds, and the Lutheran Confessions. We invite all Lutherans in North America to come together to reclaim the great tradition that witnesses faithfully to Jesus Christ, builds his Church on earth, and proclaims the Gospel of salvation to the nations." Those are scary words, but only to heterodox revisionists moved by a different spirit and loyal to different principles and standards.
More than eight hundred persons attended the theological conference. You were invited too. Editors from non-Lutheran magazines chose to attend, for example, Christianity Today, Touchstone, inter alia. You chose not to attend, even though it was a major theological event within the orbit of the ELCA. There is a reason for this, and we know what it is. Lutheranism began in history as a movement of critical theology, biblical and dogmatic. The lackeys of the church bureaucracy at that time were opposed to Luther and his reforming and renewing efforts. They could not tolerate criticism. All the theologians who spoke at the theological conference in Columbus, 2010, are responding to the theological crisis in American Lutheranism. They have been critics of various aspects of the ELCA from its earliest beginnings, for example, the quota system, radical theological feminism, antinomianism, etc. The two "Call to Faithfulness Conferences" at St. Olaf College in 1990 and 1992 put the spotlight on a number of critical theological issues. Those who have ears to hear heard, and the rest plugged their ears.
Is there something un-Lutheran about raising voices in protest and criticism of false teachings and practices going on in the church? That's what theologians do. Lutheran theologians have been doing that from the get-go. Understandably, then and now the church politicians don't like to hear it. What is the mission of The Lutheran? Is the ELCA beyond criticism, so that critical theological voices should be ignored, muted, and regarded as schismatic? That is what the bureaucrats charged against Luther when they tried to muzzle him. Does The Lutheran have a greater obligation to heed the wishes of the bureaucrats of the ELCA than to hear the voices of its theologians? Do the bureaucrats who have served the ELCA for a few years have a greater right to address the ELCA than its theologians who have served its various educational institutions for many years?
A schism has occurred now. You seem to exhibit no understanding of what caused it. It's not the case that a few pastors and congregations woke up one morning and said, "Hey, let's start a new church? Wouldn't that be fun?" Every historical event has a cause. We know what caused the schism. There would have been no schism except for the ELCA assembly decisions in Minneapolis, August, 2009. The game is now hard-ball and you have joined in, using the kind of tactics applied against you in that other schism to which you refer.
You end your editorial with a quotation from Luther: "The most dangerous sin of all is the presumption of righteousness." Your editorial reeks with the kind of self-righteousness Luther had in mind.
My question to you is: As a journalist, why can't you be fair to all parties involved in the debates and discussions going on within the ELCA? Why do you need to be a partisan beholden to its bureaucracy? If that is the mission of The Lutheran, maybe that explains why it has fewer and fewer subscribers and readers, as you yourself have acknowledged.
I am sending this as an "Open Letter," because I do not expect to see it in The Lutheran magazine. Nor do I want it edited so as to make it say things I did not write. I have had that experience before.

I would like to get a couple Crepe Myrtle trees for our yard but am not sure if they will grow here. Does anyone know if it is possible? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I doubt it. They're only supposed to be hardy to Zone 7, and Most of Salt Lake is Zone 5 or Zone 6 if you want to push it a bit. If you did get them to survive, I'm sure they would die to the ground each winter, so they'd be more like a small herbaceous shrub that re-sprouts if it makes it through the winter. |
I have checked my zone several times from several different sources and I see Zone 5, Zone 6 and zone 6b. I am pretty sure I am zone 6. Anyway I did some searching and found the Hopi Crepe Myrtle. It is supposed to be the hardiest of the species and is supposed to grow in zone 6. But they do not get very big. I think it was about 7 to 10 feet. Has anyone ever grown a Hopi before? I am thinking about it but would need to pick the right spot. |

No for most crepe myrtles, but there are a few new northern varieties you will have to get if you want success. I have a ToTo which stayed out in a pot last year and did fine. Planted it this year, but out front where it will get more winter wind - we'll see. |
- Posted by bcreighton7 Z6b/UT (email@example.com) on Thu, Jan 20, 11 at 20:06
Sorry, that should be a Tonto (red) crepe myrtle. |
There are a couple of crepe myrtles that are thriving - long term - in Salt Lake City. They are in the Sugarhouse area on 17th South and 21st East. One is on a south facing wall of the brick home on the north east corner of the intersection and is a beautiful pink color when in bloom. The other is planted on an east facing wall (kind of s.e. corner of the house) of the home on the northwest corner of that same intersection. It is a deeper more lavendar pink when in bloom. I have no idea of the cultivars but these have been growing there for years and wintering over with no other apparent protection. I would say they are about 8' tall. I always enjoy driving by these when they bloom. Makes me think of Memphis, where I first saw this beautiful kind of tree. |

I have always been stumped about what to do with presents from exes. I have never been engaged so I haven't had to deal with any seriously valuable or sentimental jewelry, but I have a couple of rocks that I just wasn't sure what to do with. I think you should always offer to give presents of value back, that's just the polite thing to do. But, if the dude says he wants you to have it, what else can a girl do but keep it? However, if the dude was a total bastard, then keeping the bling and booby-trapping his apartment is totally legit. Not that I have ever done that of course, just throwing the possibility out there…Anyway, I am not terribly sentimental, but sometimes (and I really do just mean sometimes as I look at my bracelet) a piece of jewelry reminds me of things I would much rather forget. But what do you do with that annoying Tiffany heart necklace? You can't just throw it out? You could give it away, but it was so pricey it tugs my heart and wallet strings to get nothing in return. You could give it to a friend, but learn from my own personal awkward-Olympics experience, it's really uncomfortable when you see her wearing what your dude gave you. Luckily for our repression, denial and wallets, Out Of Your Life.com is an easy way to pawn off gifts from your ex for cash. Keep reading »

Elisabeth On Fred
Elisabeth doesn't have good things to say about split from Fred Armisen. Read More »
I am so mad at Andy Cohen for not inviting me to be inside this Jessica Walter and Elisabeth Moss sandwich. "Arrested Development"? "Mad Men"? Booze? LIFE. Any challenges Elisabeth to a game of Plead The Fifth and, class act that she is, she had nothing to say about her costar's famously well-endowed penis. I was kinda hoping she would plead the fifth, so she could use Jessica's favorite Lucille Bluth line, "I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it." [Bravo TV]

I found the tool set excellent and larger that I expected. they are flexable enough and strong enough to make them very managable. An excellent buy and good quality.
This 5 pc tool set is well priced; however the HUGE size of the tools makes them impractical for the kitchen. These tools could be used for gardening, shoveling and remodeling that new bathroom, but they are waaaaaay too big for flipping pancakes. Oxo has made a name for themselves in oversized items, calling them ergonomic. Ergonomics should be translated as SHAPE rather than only as OUTSIZED.
These tools are much too unweildy for normal kitchen chores.OXO needs to get a clue that merely making them HUGE does not satisfy the definition of 'erganomics'.

I was looking for a good set of utensils and this one is really nice. Good and sturdy and it appears they will last forever. The shopping experience was delightful and my item arrived in record time. Thanks for the great customer service.
Overall, this was an adequate purchase. If storage space is an issue, this may not be the best choice as the handles are bulky and take up a lot of room in utensil crocks or drawers. The shorter spatula melted slightly on the edge the first time I used it (turning an omelet.) this was disappointing as I usually love OXO products. The spoons and pasta lifter are very good to use.
I really like these utinsels. They are a little larger than I thought that they would be and if I am not careful and leave them in the pan, they will flip out of the pan by themselves. Other than that, they are perfect. They come out of the dishwasher very well, and they don't melt on the handle when left in hot pan.
I have to admit that though the utensils are well made, I am not really fond of the way they feel. too bulky.
The spatulae is really too large for what I really wanted.
If I'd been in the store I would not have purchased it but trying to return it given the price became problamatic

Aero Glass UI No More On Windows 8
I enjoy Microsoft (426 comments)
I enjoy Microsoft products a lot. I work on them every day and i just, enjoy the products... but windows 8 is just sheer crap. It's made for a tablet not for a desktop / server. Its horrible on split monitors (extended desktop) because you cannot reach certain buttons that they hide now without falling onto your second monitor. Its just sheer UI garbage. I could keep going, but i won't. Whomever thought up this design should be punched in their reproductive organs.

Food, we love you.
Southwestern style macaroni & cheese with roasted green chiles in a cast iron skillet
Food, we love you.
Last week, Foodily launched POPCART for FreshDirect, the first ever bookmarklet that lets you instantly buy every ingredient you need from any recipe you find online. Popcart is our answer to making it easier for everyone to turn their recipe inspirations into real meals that they make at home.
What we've seen in the last week is how quickly that help can be embraced. POPCART has added close to 10,000 ingredients to FreshDirect grocery carts from thousands of different recipes. That's a lot of instant shopping.
We discovered too that it's not just important to eliminate the work of racing around a store buying all the ingredients for a recipe, but how solving that problem actually let's us shop and eat the way we want to. How were people inspired last week? Take a gander:
Vegetables were 50% of the top 50 ingredients. The top 5 vegetables this last week were cucumber, red onion, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes and arugula. Those are seasonal items and also more cost efficient.
Herbs were 5 of the 25 ingredients and show growing trend of adding more fresh flavor to our foods, especially in the summer. The #1 flavor addition was [organic] garlic.
Chicken was the top protein ordered last week. But while we're eating more vegetables, we're also exploring plenty of protein diversity. Chicken was followed by eggs, shrimp, ground beef, bacon, and salmon
Where did people buy recipes? Everywhere! From magazine sites to blogs and even some other grocer and meal delivery sites. Just goes to show how broad our individual inspiration is and what we choose to eat on any given day.
One thing we've heard from POPCART users today is how important it is to have this solution for our mobile devices so you can shop for recipes instantly while on the go. We look forward to many more improvements for POPCART for FreshDirect that make online recipe collections more useful and more actionable in real life!
Oh – and for your viewing pleasure – here are some of the top shopped recipes from the last week:
Food, we love you.
We know the web is the #1 resource for home cooks but when you go from online inspiration to real life shopping, buying the ingredients can take hours and be a deterrent to getting a great meal on the table. Who hasn't shown up at the store with a paper list only to discover one forgotten key ingredient at home?
Providing the tools to move from inspiration to cooking has long been part of our vision. We've heard feedback from our users time and again that they'd love to ditch the grocery list and get recipe ingredients delivered instantly. That's a problem we wanted to solve.
That's why we're excited to announce one more important piece of the Foodily vision: POPCART for FreshDirect. POPCART is the first ever way to instantly grocery shop any recipe you find online. You can discover a recipe you love and have ingredients delivered as early as the next day by FreshDirect, a leader in online grocery shopping.
You'll also see Buy At FreshDirect buttons when you discover recipes on Foodily if you're in the FreshDirect deliver zones (Are you in the FreshDirect deliver area? Check here to see if you are).
We'll have more to share in the coming months, but we're incredibly excited about what's ahead in helping everyone seamlessly discover and shop for the recipes they love. Stay tuned!
Food, we love you.
3 oranges and 20 fennel bulbs in my CSA Box! Oh yeah!
Maybe you're not as enthusiastic when this happens to you? Embrace fresh fennel because it has so many positives. It's a beautiful plant with some real curves. It has those lacy, delicate fronds. It tastes like completely matured celery, able to buy its own liquor. [Note: Finocchio is the Italian name for Fennel and it's earned it's own Urban Dictionary entry]
You've probably eaten it in a salad or 100. Maybe with some citrus? There's no denying that's good – but it's not going to help you plow through 20 bulbs. Here are 8 favorite ideas for a marvelous fennel frenzy.
Dont forget the mandoline!

Young's Literal Translation (YLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Strengthen yourselves, sons of Benjamin, From the midst of Jerusalem, And in Tekoa blow ye a trumpet, And over Beth-Haccerem lift ye up a flame, For evil hath been seen from the north, And great destruction. | 1 "Flee for safety, people of Benjamin! Flee from Jerusalem! Sound the trumpet in Tekoa! Raise the signal over Beth Hakkerem! For disaster looms out of the north, even terrible destruction. |
2 The comely and the delicate one I have cut off, The daughter of Zion. | 2 I will destroy the Daughter of Zion, so beautiful and delicate. |
3 Unto her come do shepherds and their droves, They have stricken tents by her round about, They have fed each [in] his own station. | 3 Shepherds with their flocks will come against her; they will pitch their tents around her, each tending his own portion." |
4 Sanctify ye against her the battle, Rise, and we go up at noon. Wo to us, for turned hath the day, For stretched out are the shades of evening, | 4 "Prepare for battle against her! Arise, let us attack at noon! But, alas, the daylight is fading, and the shadows of evening grow long. |
5 `Rise, and we go up by night, And we destroy her palaces.' | 5 So arise, let us attack at night and destroy her fortresses!" |
6 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Cut down her wood, And pour out against Jerusalem a mount, She [is] the city to be inspected, Wholly -- she is oppression in her midst. | 6 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Cut down the trees and build siege ramps against Jerusalem. This city must be punished; it is filled with oppression. |

In his first Cracking the Code lesson for GW, Troy Grady tackles EJ's pickslanting pentatonics.
Tool's axman reveals the 10 guitarists that inspire his own far-out six-string style.
Despite the absence of departed brother Cory Smoot, aka Flattus Maximus, Gwar delivered the goods to the crowd at The Glass House in Pomona, California, this past Sunday night, November 13, with radical aplomb, pumping out a killer setlist at very high volume.
There are a lot of people who don't want to hear any sounds emanating from my mouth," says Steve Vai. That makes the news about Fire Garden, the guitar virtuoso's latest album, extremely shocking: Steve Vai sings.
Here's a behind-the-scenes photo gallery from our Holiday Review Guide photo shoot, featuring models Jaime Edmondson, Olivia Paige, Heather Rae Young and Hiromi Oshima.
"Once it gets too fancy I started losing the groove," says guitarist Mike Sullivan of Russian Circles' deceptively dense music. Indeed the Chicago based post-rock band are capable of creating intricately layered pieces of music, often from simple, intertwining melodies that when combined are capable of creating harsh soundscapes, vast acoustic caverns, and everything in between.
There was a bevy of great guitar albums released in 1995; here are the top 10 that won your votes.
While Seattle has certainly enjoyed its 15 minutes of fame as "the capital of grunge," the city has also paid a heavy price for its rock and roll notoriety. A recent newspaper headline proclaimed it "Drug Town, U.S.A," while a noted music critic estimated that "one in four Seattle musicians is involved with heroin." Rolling Stone even went so far as to wryly note that heroin was "back on the charts," and that Seattle, along with New York and Hollywood, was a hot spot for the drug.
Hollywood Undead's latest release, American Tragedy, debuted at No. 4 and sold 70,000 copies during its first week of release in April. Impressive numbers for a second album, but not entirely surprising. As a new band, Hollywood Undead built an online presence via MySpace several years ago, setting up the foundation for their first album, Swan Songs A&M/Octone), which was released in 2008 and surprised both band and label with its chart longevity.
Detroit-based punks Koffin Kats will release their new album, Our Way or the Highway, on January 24 via Sailor's Grave Records.

text: My dad, uncle, cousin and me spent the morning shooting steel and some paper targets out in east Mesa. The weather was pretty cold and windy but it was fun non the less. My uncle is a member out there so we we shot in one of the pistol shooting bays. We set up steel targets for handguns and paper targets in the back for the AR. We were shooting a Glock 19, G23, Springfield 1911, Ruger P89, Beretta 92FS, AR15, and a custom competition gun my uncle had made from STI I think. It was a 1911 style in .40 and it used double stack magazines so those mags could hold like 22 rounds or something like that. It was a fun morning and we topped it off with lunch at Red, White and Brew on Power and McDowell. Awesome morning, just wanted to share my excitement!

How we rate
Percentage of eligible children insured through Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) in 2011
Alabama: 91.1 percent
Louisiana: 91.1 percent
Tennessee: 90.4 percent
Kentucky: 90.2 percent
Mississippi: 89.5 percent
North Carolina: 88.4 percent
Virginia: 88.1 percent
South Carolina: 86 percent
Georgia: 84 percent
Florida: 83.4 percent
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Urban Institute
Nearly nine in 10 children in South Carolina who qualified for either Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program were enrolled in one of those plans in 2011, according to a report published Wednesday by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Urban Institute.
Still, at 86 percent, South Carolina's rate of eligible children who are enrolled in a plan is slightly lower than the national average, 87.2 percent.
But S.C. Department of Health and Human Services Director Tony Keck says South Carolina's rate has improved since then and probably exceeds 90 percent now.
"The tough thing with those reports is they are always a year or two behind on that data," Keck said. "Our data is obviously a lot more current."
Recent efforts by the agency to simplify enrollment and streamline re-enrollment for children have grown the state's Medicaid roster by 100,000 since 2010, he said.
Medicaid provides health insurance for some residents with low income. CHIP covers children whose families earn too much to qualify for Medicaid, but too little to pay for private insurance. Both programs are paid for with a combination of state and federal funds.
Children whose parents earn up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $47,000 a year per family of four, qualify for Medicaid or CHIP in this state.
According to state data, about 566,000 children were enrolled in a health insurance plan through the S.C. Medicaid agency during the 2013 fiscal year, up from about 525,000 in 2012. Preliminary projections this year show more than 596,000 children are enrolled in a plan through the agency and that enrollment has grown nearly 23 percent among children in this state between 2010 and 2013.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Urban Institute report, which includes data from all states, shows improvement isn't isolated to South Carolina. Participation in Medicaid and CHIP is up among children across the country since 2008.
The number of eligible-but-unenrolled children across the country dropped from 4.9 million to 4 million between 2008 and 2011. The percentage of eligible children who enrolled climbed from an average 81.7 percent in the U.S. in 2008 to 87.2 percent in 2011.
"These findings suggest that the increased state and federal policy efforts aimed at reducing the number of eligible-but-uninsured children have been yielding results," the study's authors wrote.
Enrolling children in a health insurance plan becomes mandatory next year under the federal Affordable Care Act, which establishes financial penalties — $47.50 per unenrolled child — for parents who do not enroll their children in a policy. Adults are also required to buy a health insurance policy next year and face a $95 penalty for not complying with the law.
Keck said South Carolina estimates that 170,000 adults and children who are currently eligible but not enrolled in Medicaid will sign up in this state next year.

I moved into a new house and pulled some bushes and there was some flowering bulbs in front of them. They flowered and I left them until the foilage dried up and fell off. Now I have all these bulbs which I have no idea as to what they are and I want to store them somewhere so I can plant them later(preferrably in the spring but if I have to I could do it in fall, I just need to figure out where to put them). Anyways my question is this something I can do or do I have to replant them right away. If I can store them what would be the best way to store an unidentified bulb? I used the search function but alot of what I saw was related to specific plants so I figured I would go ahead and post a message. |

For more than half a century, whenever two full moons appeared in a single month, which happens on average every 2 1/2 to 3 years, the second has been christened a 'Blue Moon'.
In another lexicon, we describe an unusual event as happening " Once in a blue moon". This expression was first noted back in 1821 and refers to occurrences that are uncommon, though not truly rare.
On past occasions, usually after vast forest fires or major volcanic eruptions, the moon has reportedly taken on a bluish or lavender hue. Soot and ash particles, propelled high into the earth's atmosphere, can sometimes make the moon appear bluish.

The Commerce Ministry is gearing up to negotiate the Thai-European Union Free Trade Agreement following pressure from the private sector for the pact to come into force in 2015.
Negotiations over the Thai-EU FTA are expected to begin officially in January, Pitak Udomwichaiwat, director of the Ministry's Trade Preference Bureau, said yesterday.
He said the private sector had been hoping the Thai-EU FTA would come into effect by January 2015, when the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) privileges for Thai exports to the EU is scheduled to expire.

Randy Moss Q&A, 9/3, Part 2
Posted on September 3, 2007
Filed Under Uncategorized
Here's the rest of the Randy Moss Q&A with reporters from this morning at Gillette Stadium:
On progress from the injury…
For the most part. I'm happy where I am. The biggest thing is my playing shape and how it will affect me when I'm out there. The main thing is how good a game shape I'm in. Not the plays, not going out there and making things happen. Hopefully, all that will take care of itself. But that's the main thing, because like I said earlier in this interview, I don't want to do anything to slow the team down. If I'm out there slowing the team down, then I'll definitely pull my ownself out.
On holding yourself back…
That was all trainers. They know more than me. Everybody gets paid to do a certain thing, and they had to do their job and tell me what to do and what not to do. I did abide by their rules. … They did a helluva job of getting me back and getting me back to practice.
On working with Tom on route-running…
Me and Tommy talk every day, as far as the routes and how he likes things. He's very, very, very picky, and that's a good thing. It's not a bad thing. He's the quarterback, and he has to distribute the ball. Whatever he likes, that's what we're going to do, so we've already been through all of that.
Are you excited about being a part of this team after being around them in training camp?
I've been excited since Day 1, the day I talked to Coach Belichick. I keep telling him hat every day I look forward to coming into work and to learn this offense and their style of play. I'm still having fun, and I think that's the main thing I want to get back to. To try to — not rejuvenate my career — but make me get back to doing what I do best, and that's making plays. I'm still enjoying myself, I'm still happy, and I'll continue to do that.

Fantasy Cricket - ICC World Twenty20 2010
15 Apr 2010
James Nixon
We have opened up our competition for the upcoming ICC World Twenty20 2010 with all the squads and schedule having been confirmed and as always it is 100% free to join a Cricket Web Fantasy Cricket competition.
It starts on 1st May and runs through to 16th May.
For those of you that are new to the Fantasy Cricket concept, we would suggest you have a read through our
Game Guide
which explains everything to you.
Once you are ready to go, head on in and
and don't forget it costs you absolutely nothing! If you have registered in the past for Cricket Web Fantasy Cricket or Cricket Web CW Games, you can login to your account through the
Fantasy Cricket frontpage
Some important points to note in this competition are:
* Player Rankings will be changed following the completion of the Indian T20 Tournament 2010 competition to account for international form as opposed to IPL form.
* There will no longer be seperate all-rounder slots for Twenty20 competitions. There will be seven batsman slots, one wicket-keeper slot and three bowler slots. This is being implemented due to the number of all-rounders in the game now and the difficulty around classifying whether a player is a batsman or an all-rounder. Thanks to all the visitors who suggested this through the ticket system.
We of coures have some prizes for the competition which are as follows. Further prizes may be added depending on partners. Stay tuned!
1st Price - $25 to spend at the
Cricket Web Shop
at Cafe Press.
2nd Price - $20 worth of Cricket Web gear from the
Cricket Web Shop
