With Thanksgiving just around the corner the Holiday spirit is alive and well in Puerto Vallarta.
Sand sculptures are starting to change their art from Mermaids to Reindeer and Santas and the Malecon is buzzing every evening with the sounds of the season. Caroling groups of young people stroll and sing – artists abound displaying and creating their masterpieces night after night, and a stroll along this "walk by the water" is always magical – but especially during the holidays.
I remember my first midnight mass at the historic church in the downtown square. The people and the pageantry touched my soul. The church is always lovely but at Christmas it is alive with colorful flowers and the congregation is dressed in their holiday best right down to the little children in very grown up suits and frilly dresses. Everyone is reverent and even the children are quietly attentive – perhaps especially careful since Santa is coming.
After church I strolled along the Malecon – it was 1:30 AM – but seemed more like 10:00 PM with all the activity. I love Christmas in Puerto Vallarta and have many happy memories of my sons and parents celebrating our holidays on the beach.

Vehicle Overview The all-wheel-drive Porsche Cayenne was redesigned for the 2011 model year. Along with new exterior and interior styling, the Cayenne came with a sliding backseat, increased power and better mileage in all versions. The Cayenne S Hybrid combines acceleration comparable to that of the V-8-powered Cayenne S with the efficiency of a V-6, according to Porsche. It teams a 333-hp, supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 with two electric motors and a 288-volt battery pack for a combined 380 hp and 428 pounds-feet of torque. Unlike some hybrids, the Cayenne S Hybrid uses a step-gear automatic transmission, a version of the eight-speed automatic in the other Cayennes. The hybrid can accelerate up to 40 mph in electric mode, which compares to other hybrids, but it also utilizes a "sailing" mode that shuts the engine off, allowing coasting at speeds as high as 97 mph. The Cayenne S Hybrid also features stop/start technology that's found in other Cayennes. Porsche claims the Cayenne S Hybrid will go from zero to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds and achieve a top speed of 150 mph. The Cayenne's front occupants get frontal, driver's knee and seat-mounted side-impact airbags. There are also side curtain airbags for both rows of seats. Additional safety features include antilock brakes, electronic stability system, traction control, optional blind spot warning system, and optional adaptive cruise control. *Overview courtesy of Cars.com

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Giles Oliver Cairnes Swayne (born Hertfordshire, 30 June 1946)[1] is a British composer.
Swayne is a cousin of Elizabeth Maconchy. He spent much of his childhood in Liverpool, and began composing at a young age. He was educated at Ampleforth College and at Cambridge University, where he worked with Raymond Leppard and Nicholas Maw before spending three years at the Royal Academy of Music as a student of Harrison Birtwistle, Alan Bush and, once again, Maw. During the years 1976 to 1977 he attended several of Olivier Messiaen's classes at the Paris Conservatoire and from 1981 to 1982 made a study visit to the Gambia and southern Senegal – a formative experience he put to creative use as composer-in-residence to the London borough of Hounslow, 1980–83. Together with his second wife, the Ghanaian, Naaotwa Codjoe, he lived in a village near Accra, Ghana, from 1990 to 1996; he has now settled in London.

Consumer Reports
food-labeling poll shows consumers want to know where their food comes from and expect higher label standards
Amid troubling food safety issues in the United States, most consumers want to know where their food comes from and favor strengthening food labeling requirements, a recent
Consumer Reports
poll has found.
The survey, conducted by the
Consumer Reports
National Research Center, polled a nationally representative sample of 1,004 people on issues concerning food safety and labeling. In addition to those listed below, consumers were asked about labels including "no hormones administered," "free of disease," and "irradiated" foods.
According to the poll, 92 percent of consumers agree that imported foods should be labeled by their country of origin. While the federal government mandated country of origin labeling, or COOL, back in 2002 for nearly all food products, implementation has been delayed until October 2008, with the exception of seafood.
Consumers Union, the nonprofit publisher of
Consumer Reports
, has called for immediate implementation of COOL.
The poll also found that foods labeled as "natural," or "organic" are highly popular among consumers.
At the same time, consumers indicated that they expect more from natural labels than current standards dictate for processed food and meat. Eighty-six percent said they expect the natural label to mean that processed food does not contain any artificial ingredients. But current standards only prohibit artificial colorings and additives. Artificial sugars and oils like high fructose corn syrup or partially hydrogenated oils can still be used in natural foods.
In addition, nearly 9 out of 10 consumers want natural meat to come from animals that were raised on a diet without drugs, chemicals and other artificial ingredients. Currently, the natural label on meat only pertains to how the cut of meat was processed and not how animal was raised or what it ate. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is in the process of reconsidering a variety of options concerning the natural label on meat.
As for organic fish, 9 of out of 10 consumers agree that it should be produced without environmental pollution and be low in contaminants. But the USDA is still working on developing standards for organic fish. In the meantime, organic fish is being marketed without any government oversight.
In July 2007, Consumers Union, which helped institute a ban on the organic label on fish sold in California, joined the Center for Food Safety's petition to ban the organic label on fish nationwide.
Consumers can find out which labels are most meaningful on food and other products on our dedicated labeling site,
Consumer Reports
poll was conducted via telephone from June 7 to 10, 2007.

After the Corvette C6 comes another mod from Siim and Niels: the
Toyota Supra MKIV!
This iconic Japanese car comes in two flavours, a 220hp normally aspirated one and a 320hp twin turbo. There are some styling upgrades such as rims available but the performance is bone stock. We aim to model the cars as they originally left the factory, before nasty body kits and ugly exhausts messed with the looks, and large mega lag turbos messed with the pure handling. The only performance tweaks are the optional rear wing, affecting aerodynamics, and the 220hp version can
be fitted with a limited slip differential.
Also, the mod features customized shaders (light flares for example) that attempt to boost the visual quality of the old rFactor graphics engine.
Special thanks to Racing Line Developments allowing us to use sounds
from the pacecar (a Supra!) in their CARTFactor mod!
Known issues/bugs:
* DX7/DX8 mode is not recommended (although mod works...)
* For best graphics experience it is recommended to run this mod with all rFactor gfx settings maxed (duh!).

Hi, I`ve merged this car with shift street mod just for my own use (mostly because I want some diffirent street AI cars while driving supra, and all tracks and cars is taking forever to load) but the thing is it looks mat it lost all the reflections just not as nice as in the supra mod on it`s own as I`ve got shift street mod witch is using sstr shaders and supra just doesn`t cope with that. Do you have any hints how to fix that?
Kret9 on Mar-10-2013
with the Supra you did a spectacular job how would you like to make another masterpiece by creating another car this time Italian: the Lancia Prisma.Io know it's not a famous car from the competitive point of view but would really appreciate a mod to many fans of Italian cars and / or Lancia
r5678 on Feb-15-2013
The latest DX version is backwards compatible with older versions of DX. rF1 only uses versions 7,8 and 9. If youve got 9c, you have all the previous versions. It's always been that way.
jimcarrel on Nov-05-2012
OK Thanks
I'll Tell my friends, We just assumed the game would run at the highest level DX
Didnt notice the DX setting before.
Thanks again like I said Great car.
Lighthorse on Apr-26-2012
Did you configure the game for DX9?.. rf config.exe
NOxymoron on Apr-25-2012
Well tried again, This time I dug out my original DVD of rFactor 1.255 and found DX9 on it and installed it.
Still have Chrome Cars and no mirror. I give up.
Nice cars just wish you didn't make them specific to a certain DX
Sorry Uninstalling

When Locks of Love first began, it was connected with a for-profit wig retailer. In December 1997, the organization obtained its 501(c)(3) certification from the IRS. With the installation of a volunteer Board of Directors, the charity began operating as an entity unto itself under its bylaws and separated from the for-profit retailer. This initiative was spearheaded by Madonna Coffman, a retired cardiac nurse who had a great deal of volunteer experience working for not-for-profits in the surrounding Palm Beach area.
When Mrs. Coffman was in her 20's she developed alopecia after receiving a hepatitis vaccination. With medications, she recovered. 15 years later, her 4-year old daughter developed alopecia and lost all of her hair. Madonna said it was difficult to deal with her hair loss, but her daughter's loss was ten times harder. It was at this time that she quit all other charity work and took on Locks of Love as a full time volunteer cheered on by her daughter's recovery as her inspiration.
For some time the contents of Mrs. Coffman's garage contained bins of mail and hair donations. After finally securing donated office space from a local hospital and locating a manufacturer of the highest quality prosthetics, Locks of Love was off and running. Since the beginning, the charity has received a great deal of support by both the media and its volunteers throughout the country. Locks of Love has been featured or mentioned on television shows such as The Today Show, Entertainment Tonight, Oprah, 20/20, The View, Jay Leno, Maury Povich, Good Morning America, CBS Good Morning, CNN Espanol and Inside Edition and in national publications including USA Today, The NY Times, People, Seventeen, Glamour, CosmoGirl, Self, Redbook, Woman's Day, ElleGirl, Child Magazine, and Ladies Home Journal.
The number of hairpieces provided has increased significantly since its inception. Locks of Love has recipients in all 50 states and Canada and is working towards its goal to help every financially disadvantaged child suffering from long-term hair loss.

quote:For a college student that's almost like the death penalty
quote:Hill will have a probation revocation hearing soon, where a judge will decide if be violated probation. Most times, a misdemeanor does not warrant revocation. She will probably decide there was no violation of probation, Hill will be picking up lots of trash this summer, and he wont see the field the first two games. Not going to comment on the semantics of ethics, morals or any other factors outside of legal ramifications, as I saw the video and I dont approve of the actions
quote:did you miss the part about no going to bars?
quote:Still will have to deal with the revocation hearing.
quote:his judge ordered that, the judge that will do the revocation hearing
quote:including a curfew between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
quote:Looks like we'll lose him for the fourth quarter during night games
quote: Its ultimately up to the judge, if she sees no reason to revoke the probabtion, hell be good to go.
quote:But I thought all the geniuses on here told me that Hill would be serving jail time.
quote:including a curfew between 9 p.m. and 6 a.
quote:A state District Court judge Tuesday added new conditions to the probation of suspended LSU running back Jeremy Hill, including a curfew between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. and a requirement that he avoid bars.
quote:Bernie said Tuesday that prosecutors likely will file a motion in the coming weeks asking Jackson to revoke Hill's probation. "At this point in time, that appears to be appropriate," Bernie said, "but I'm still gathering all the information." Hill could face up to six months behind bars if his probation is revoked. Bernie said she could not yet predict whether prosecutors will push for Hill to serve jail time. "I'm looking at everything," the prosecutor said.

Spy interview makes a splash
PUBLISHED: 22 Jul 2013 00:31:00 | UPDATED: 22 Jul 2013 04:35:57PUBLISHED: 22 Jul 2013 PRINT EDITION: 22 Jul 2013Christopher Joye and John Kerin
There has been widespread global media reaction to The Australian Financial Review's exclusive interview on Friday with Michael Hayden, who led the NSA and CIA between 1999 and 2009.
General Hayden said he believed Huawei, the world's largest telecommunications infrastructure provider, had spied for China in the past, and the evidence existed to back it up. It had "shared with the Chinese state intimate and extensive knowledge of the foreign telecommunications systems it is involved with", he said.
The interview has been reported by media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, Der Spiegel, The Guardian, the Financial Times, Bloomberg, The Washington Post, Reuters, The South China Morning Post and CNN, among others.
The FT said the interview contained "an incendiary claim made by one of the US's most experienced espionage officers", which went "beyond what the US government and Congress have said previously about Huawei".
The Telegraph newspaper in the UK described it as "an extraordinary interview". Atlantic Media said the "remarkably candid interview" revealed "amazing quotes" from the only man to have run both the CIA and NSA.
Claude Barfield from the American Enterprise Institute, a US think-tank, wrote that "the (calculatedly?) sensational interview" went "well beyond current claims lodged against Huawei".
"It is too early to tell how all of this will play out," he said. "But it is quite likely that now the 'fat is in the fire' ".
American Interest magazine's Walter Mead, who was the Henry Kissinger Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, wrote: "If there's one thing you need to read today, it's the transcript of Hayden's interview with The Australian Financial Review. To say that excerpting it does it no justice is a massive understatement."
"Any readers interested in geopolitics, Asia, China's rise, and cyber-espionage owe it to themselves to make their way through the admittedly lengthy conversation," Mead said.

I hate messy wires. This is a great way to clean up all your wires and make your accessory wiring much safer and easier to get to incase of problems.
I started with a cardboard template for the mounting plate:
From there, I went to my local metal supply shop and picked up a 12"x12" section of 3/16" aluminum (I forget which alloy it was. Make sure it's workable though). I had the shop put a 90deg bend in it. I then cut it to the dimensions of the template and had it powdercoated:
Equipment installed on the mounting plate: Blue Sea Systems 12 circuit fuse box and a Blue Sea Systems 100A panel mount breaker.
I wanted to get nice solid battery terminals as well. I opted for military spec terminals. They are extra beefy and won't corrode on me.
Here is the panel mounted. As you can see in the photo, I also added relays to the panel for current and future accessories. I have relay sockets that will allow for easy removal of the panel if need be. I have room for atleast 3 relays on the panel.
I wish I would have taken before pictures. I feel a whole lot better about my wires now. Everything is nice and clean and easy to get to. I highly suggest one of these fuse blocks for auxiliary circuits. Let me know what you think!

Integrated from its founding, the organization opposed both slavery and racism, and developed close ties to Philadelphia's Black community. Mott herself often preached at Black parishes.

Mott was praised for her ability to maintain her household while contributing to the cause. In the words of one editor, "She is proof that it is possible for a woman to widen her sphere without deserting it." Mott and other female abolitionists also organized fairs to raise awareness and revenue, providing much of the funding for the anti-slavery movement.
Women's participation in the anti-slavery movement threatened social norms. Many members of the abolitionist movement opposed public activities by women, especially public speaking. At the

Afterward, the mob targeted her home and Black institutions and neighborhoods in Philadelphia. As a friend redirected the mob, Mott waited in her parlor, willing to face her violent opponents.
World's Anti-Slavery Convention
In June 1840 Mott attended the General Anti-Slavery Convention, better known as the World's Anti-Slavery Convention, in London, England. In spite of Mott's status as one of six women delegates, before the conference began, the men voted to exclude women from participating, and the female delegates were required to sit in a segregated area. Anti-Slavery leaders didn't want the womens rights issue to become associated with the cause of ending slavery worldwide and dilute the focus on abolition. The social mores of the time generally prohibited women's participating in public political life. Several of the American men attending the convention, including

was the first public women's rights meeting in the United States. Stanton's resolution that it was "the duty of the women of this country to secure to themselves the sacred right to the elective franchise" was passed despite Mott's opposition. Mott viewed politics as corrupted by slavery and moral compromises, but she soon concluded that women's "right to the elective franchise however, is the same, and should be yielded to her, whether she exercises that right or not." Mott signed the Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments. Over the next few decades,

Women's rights activists advocated a range of issues, including equality in marriage, such as women's property rights and rights to their earnings. At that time it was very difficult to obtain divorce, and fathers were always granted custody of children. Stanton sought to make divorce easier to obtain and to safeguard women's access to and control of their children. Though some early feminists disagreed, and viewed Stanton's proposal as scandalous, Mott stated "her great faith in Elizabeth Stanton's quick instinct & clear insight in all appertaining to women's rights."

In 1849, Mott's "Sermon to the Medical Students" was published. In 1850, Mott published her speech Discourse on Woman, a pamphlet about restrictions on women in the United States. In general, as a Quaker preacher, Mott spoke from the divine light within, and she never wrote down her sermons or speeches. She seldom wrote anything for publication. Yet her speaking abilities made her an important abolitionist, feminist, and reformer. When slavery was outlawed in 1865, she advocated giving Black Americans the right to vote. She remained a central figure in the women's movement until her death at age 87 in 1880.

Not one of the wrinkles with which age had marked her face, would one have wished away. Her dark eyes beamed with intelligence and benignity.

Managing Anger in Your Family
In This Article: | |
"Never let Mommy brush your hair when she's mad at Daddy."
Family Circle
At Putnam Elementary in Minneapolis, the staff were concerned about the number of suspensions for defiant behavior, and decided to take action. They were not going to tolerate more disruption, but instead wanted to train the students and themselves to handle confrontations more effectively. They realized they had to begin with themselves.
One teacher pledged to control her voice when she got angry. Another vowed to listen carefully to every child who came up to her in the morning. A clerk decided to try to change physical posturing that could be intimidating to the children. A third-grade teacher promised to try to keep her voice low and calm when she was challenged by a child. These simple goals, along with a lot of hard work, cut the number of suspensions from 300, two years previously, to 72!
Learning to express strong emotions, like anger and frustration, respectfully and selectively is learned behavior. You don't have to be a victim of your emotions. You can choose your response. You don't have to react. And as you make those choices, your children are watching and listening. You are their role model, teaching them with your words and actions what adults do when faced with a rush of powerful emotions.
Recognizing the Instinctual Responses
Learning to recognize when you're "reacting" rather than thinking is the first step toward choosing a different response. There are four common instinctual reactions. Think about which ones are most typical for you and your child. What do you do when you get upset and you're not thinking?
Striking Back
When you feel threatened, you might find yourself attacking right back. You want to smack someone or something! Even when you're able to quell the urge to physically strike out, you may let loose words that escalate into full-fledged name calling or a shouting match.
Giving In
The opposite of striking back is giving in. Exhaustion drives you. You cannot bear to deal with another angry outburst, so you give in, or you let your child off the hook. The trouble with giving in is that later you feel as if you've been had. Your child just keeps pushing, asking for more as he tries to find out where the limit is. Resentment grows until ultimately you have taken more than you can bear. That's when you find yourself moving from giving in to striking back.
Shutting Down
Sometimes when that rush of adrenaline hits, you literally shut down. Flooded with emotion, it's as though you were a deer caught in the glare of headlights, unable to respond or perform. You can't think. You feel helpless. Your greatest fear is that there is nothing you can do to make things better.
Breaking Off
The fourth instinctual reaction is to throw up your hands and emotionally break off your relationship with your child. You might say, "I just can't deal with you!" "I don't want to be with you!" or "Maybe you should find a different parent or family!" It could be hours or days of silence. No matter whether the break off is verbal or silent, to your child the message is clear: I don't like you. I don't want anything to do with you. I can't think of anything about you I ever liked. I wish to sever this relationship.
These instinctual reactions tear apart relationships. They bring up a host of hurt feelings, leaving you feeling lousy and your child feeling angry and resentful. The emotional costs are great. Rather than finding a way to work together, you're pushed apart. Fortunately, you can learn to stop reacting and instead respond deliberately, with careful and full consideration of the situation.
We can decide even in those difficult moments to choose responses that connect us with our kids instead of disconnect us. These responses allow us to step back, collect our wits, and see the situation more objectively and sensitively. Our goal isn't to suppress, muffle, stuff, deny, or bury our feelings, but to express them more selectively. As we do it, we are teaching our kids how to express their strong emotions respectfully and how to manage their intensity.

San Antonio build special needs park for children.
There's a new amusement park in San Antonio that is catering to special needs children.
The park includes rides, playgrounds, gardens, fishing facilities and an amphitheater. It's touted as the world's first fully wheelchair accessible family fun park. It features braille signs, specially designed sandboxes and rides designed for wheelchairs. Parents say the park allows kids with special needs to forget about their usual worries and just have fun. Children are also assigned special radio frequency wristbands so they can roam freely in the park which is expected to open in April.

This book will be of general interest, both because Dr Packer rightly has many admirers around the world and because anything that addresses the future of evangelicalism seriously has to be of importance. The twelve chapters, by different contributors, consist of material first given in honour of Jim Packer at Beeson Divinity School in 2006. A concluding chapter gives the subject's own "Reflections and Response." In this reviewer's opinion a worthy biography of Packer has yet to be written.
Though the authors of this book mean to "celebrate his life"—and include not a little interesting biography—this work is not intended to fill that need. In some respects the book is surprising. It contains the kind of high praise not usually expressed in a man's lifetime, such as "this will be known as the Packer Era because J. I. Packer has been the towering figure of this era" (139). The explanation for this perhaps over-the-top praise seems to lie in one of the main themes of the book, namely that Packer was right to seek to move contemporary evangelicals towards sympathy with Christian traditions other than their own. For doing this, his reputation has suffered in some circles, and Timothy George (and most of his fellow contributors) evidently intends to rectify that supposed injustice. Two of the contributors are Charles Colson and the late Richard John Neuhaus, the originators of the Evangelical and Catholics Together program (ECT). Speaking of ECT, Colson says, "I think now most people applaud it" (131). So little was Neuhaus concerned to placate any doubtful evangelicals that he gives us repeated references to John Paul II and Benedict XVI.
There is much in Packer that is not related to this area of controversy. No one will find a whisper of it in his greatest book, Knowing God. Many of us eagerly spread that book, content to leave aside the question how its "Puritan" standpoint can be consistent with some other later writings. Some of the contributors to the book we are reviewing may be under the misapprehension that Packer cannot be admired unless there is agreement on the controversy. The chapter by Mark Dever helps to show this is not so. It is therefore regrettable that this book should rather closely tie Packer's permanent usefulness to the churches with an issue on which we think he is mistaken. What is the mistake? Not that a Roman Catholic may be a Christian— who in his senses would deny it?—but that the official Roman teaching is a safe guide to Christ for all to follow. Dr. Packer's position is that he differs with Rome on the doctrine of the church, and it is that which "makes anything like reunion impossible" (184). If that is the only discrepancy between Rome and Scripture, then continuing division may be deplored; but traditional Protestant and evangelical belief has been that Rome is false to Scripture on the way of salvation itself.
We are thankful for Packer's opposition to liberalism, yet what liberalism has done to the churches is far too little recognized in these pages. The damage has been done, not by "modernity" or "postmodernism," but by plain disbelief in the word of God. That is why the ecumenical agenda has proceeded—as Dr Lloyd-Jones said long ago—without any basic agreement on "What is a Christian?" The same omission exists in the ECT documents.
It is not the purpose here to summarize the material in this book. We hope many ministers and serious Christians will read it for themselves. There is one chapter, however, on which we need to dwell because of its serious inaccuracies; it is the contribution of Carl Trueman on "J. I. Packer: An English Nonconformist Perspective." The greater part of this chapter has to do with Packer's parting from Lloyd-Jones. The main issue here is simple: who departed from whom? Lloyd-Jones parted from Packer, says Trueman, by the address he gave at the Evangelical Alliance meeting of 1966. The facts are against any such interpretation. Packer and Lloyd-Jones continued to work together at the Puritan Conference in 1967, 68, 69, and would have done so in 1970 had it not been for the publication of Growing into Union (London: SPCK, May 1970). In this book Packer endorsed teaching that belongs to the Roman Catholic tradition and not to the Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England.
The issue between Lloyd-Jones and Packer was not, as Trueman represents it, 'separatism versus the Church of England'; it was maintaining historic evangelical belief versus ecumenical alignment. Dr Trueman makes some points that are true and insightful, but his main case is simply wrong, and his reliance on the unworthy opinions of Dr Gaius Davies (who was no firsthand witness to the discussions of the 1960s) very regrettable. He reports: "Davies argues that Lloyd-Jones could not stand competition and could not bear not to be in overall control…. A split with Lloyd- Jones was always a likely outcome: after all, Packer was the only man within Lloyd- Jones's orbit who could pose a serious challenge to his leadership" (123). We would like to know of one evangelical minister present at that time who holds such an opinion and regret that Packer could let it stand without comment in his concluding chapter. It is false and has misled Dr Truemen to support a slander.
Trueman attacks Lloyd-Jones's thinking for offering an alternative to Packer's position which was "little more than an evangelical, anti-Roman form of the very doctrinal indifferentism he rightly saw as the poison of 1960s mainstream ecumenism" (122). He bases the charge on the grounds that Lloyd-Jones had nothing to say on sacraments, church government, and such like. This is a complete misreading of the situation, as anyone could confirm who attended the Westminster Fellowship during the years when just such matters were discussed, at Dr Lloyd- Jones's direction. Certainly he did not believe those subjects were the issue in the 1960s. A much greater danger concerned him. But that he trivialized their importance is quite wrong. Part of his concern that Presbyterian denominations should belong (as they did) to the British Evangelical Council was that he was concerned that the convictions of these denominations would be found alongside men of Baptist and Independent persuasion. In other words, Lloyd-Jones's convictions on church issues were (as with Whitefield in the 18th century, and Spurgeon in the Downgrade Controversy) devoted to what was more fundamental.
Carl Trueman thinks Packer should have left the Church of England and taken on the leadership role among the men Lloyd-Jones had led. Given the beliefs Packer endorsed in 1970, that could never be. God had another and a wider ministry for his servant. If it is overstating it to say that Jim Packer became "the bishop of evangelicalism, at least in North America" (131), it is surely true that, under God, he has been the means of doing much lasting good. The best of us are inconsistent in measure; in differing from our friend, as I do, I believe I am adhering to the conviction that has played such a large part in his own ministry.
