Canadian Duo, Japandroids' "Celebration Rock" is Spectacular
Posted by Mike Moynahan on 09/19 at 04:56 PM
Grade: A+
Japandroids, the Canadian indie-rock duo, released their new album, Celebration Rock, this past June 5th on Polyvinyl Record Co. Clocking in at just over thirty-five minutes and consisting of only eight tracks, one might think this record wouldn't have much to offer. This couldn't be farther from the truth. From opening guitar riffs on the opening track, "The Nights of Wine and Roses" the group - made up of guitarist-vocalist Brian King and drummer-vocalist David Prowse - doesn't slow down. It's a classic rock album that just happened to be recorded in 2011, and released worldwide on June 5, 2012. "Don't we have anything to live for?," they ask in their opener: "Well of course we do, but until they come true we're drinking. " So begins an idea that continues with each track on the album: Enjoy being young while you are young.
"Fire's Highway" follows with the same upbeat pace and howling vocals. We hear a struggle between good and evil begin to develop with lines like, "Hearts from hell collide on fire's highway tonight." We see titles such as "Evil's Sway" which draws inspiration from Tom Petty's "American Girl" for its chorus as the guys shout "oh yeah! Alright! On the lash and lashing out, it's evil's sway tonight." Another track "The House that HeavenBuilt" shows the opposite end of the spectrum with an opening line that's near biblical, "I happened on a house built of living light where everything evil disappears and dies," and a chorus that is seeping with optimism mixed with an aura of self-confidence as the duo scream, "when they love you, and they will, tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow. And if they try to slow you down, tell 'em all to go to hell." The theme of youth is highlighted specifically in "Younger Us" with lines like: "Remember saying things like 'we'll sleep when we're dead and thinking this feeling was never gonna end?'" Throughout the chorus the line "Give me younger us," is sung over and over.
The instrumentation on the album sounds like it was an absolute blast to record, but will be even more exciting to play live when fans scream the lyrics back at the band. Soaring guitars and snare hits that act as the pulsing heartbeat of youth provide the backdrop for the eight songs that make up one of this year's best new albums. The music pulls the listener in right off the bat and the lyrics reinforce the fact this album is worth listening to on repeat. There isn't a weak track on the album and that's a testament to how hard King and Prowse worked to make each track stand out as a special piece of artistry.
Celebration Rock is a summer album meant to be enjoyed in the presence of your best friends. In fact, Rolling Stone even listed it as one of "The 10 Coolest Summer Albums of All Time." It's a coming of age composition that is nostalgic yet remains hopeful that the good times aren't over. You're never too old to get your friends together, throw back a couple cold ones and put on a favorite album. If you give Celebration Rock a chance, it will become one of your favorites over time. Just give it a listen.
Grab Celebration Rock on iTunes, from the band, or Amazon:

In the bottle this is a pretty dark purple with turquoise glitter/sheen. However, on the nail I mostly get the purple. There are hints of the turquoise but it is largely invisible. Fortunately the purple is really pretty. It's a dark wine.
The formula isn't so good. It took forever to dry, which is very unusual with the topcoat that I used. Then I got tip wear within a day and now on it's second day there are larger chips at the base and at the tip. I used the same base/top coat that I've always used and my manicures usually last longer than this.
Pretty, though slightly disappointing color. I'll be looking for it with a longer laster formula.

What's this?Food, Mommy! Blog: Agriculture's Worst Enemies May Be Farmers
August 1, 2011 | by Food, Mommy! BloggerEven with all of the challenges farmers face such as weather, market prices, disease, and pests, I am convinced the agriculture industrys worst enemies are farmers themselves. This thought occurred to me because of a conversation I had this weekend.I recently received some chickens to produce my own eggs. I didnt do this to save money, which so far is quite the contrary, or because I dont feel the eggs at the grocery are bad. I did it to show my children that we can be more self-sufficient. While I have read many online posts and books on raising chickens, I still have many questions. So, I found myself another backyard chicken farmer to ask questions about coops and how to tell the difference between the pullets and the cockerels at a young age. Other people were around, and the conversation turned into processing the chickens for meat and the quality of eggs.This particular farmer said she thought the eggs from backyard chickens tasted better than commercially-produced eggs. Another chicken enthusiast chimed in that she thought they tasted exactly the same, but there was an obvious difference in the color of the yolks. The farmer then said that the chickens and eggs from small operations were better because they are free of steroids and hormones.I had a now, wait a minute moment. I said, I am 100% positive that steroid and hormone use is prohibited in poultry production, and it has been since 1954. She responded that big chicken farmers still use them anyway.For entire story, click here.

@Glasis - The problem someone like me has is the problem with calcium enriched milk or butter. My family has a history of kidney stones and t scares me to death.
I sat down one day and decided that I had to cut out a lot of milk in my diet. I figured I had to decide between milk or cheese. So, I don't drink milk anymore. No way I give up cheese.

ASHLAND, Ore. – NAIA schools often get overlooked by NFL scouts so in the case of Southern Oregon head coach Craig Howard, that means fighting for attention.
"When you have good players and they have success on the field," Howard says, "my obligation as a coach is to spread the word, and I get on the phone and call every team in the NFL trying to get scouts to come."
That persistence paid off. On Thursday, a scout for the San Diego Chargers came to Ashland to get a closer look at four players: quarterback Austin Dodge, wide receivers Dylan Young and Ryan Retzlaff and offensive lineman Drew Gibson.
"I woke up this morning, and I texted Dodge immediately," Young said. "I'm like, 'Man, I'm nervous and excited. I don't really know what I'm feeling right now."
The scout watched practice, checked out game film and gave the four players the well-known Wonderlic test, 50 questions in 12 minutes testing general math and verbal knowledge.
"My guys are pretty smart," Howard said. "I don't even know how to spell Wonderlic."
"It's a lot like an IQ test," Gibson said. "A lot of things were matching words together. This word and this word, do they have opposite or similar meanings? Then some math problems, which were probably the hardest."
"It was pretty difficult because the last two, three years I've only been studying health and PE," Young said. "I scored pretty well. He said it was about a B- so I'll take the B- on it.
"Dodge got one point better than I did on the test," Gibson said. "We got them back. That was the thing that upset me a little bit."
"Oh, I did," Dodge said. "I squeaked by. It was all the practice tests the night before though."
This isn't the first time a Raider flirted with the NFL under Howard. Last year Cole McKenzie got some attention close to Draft Day and wound up signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars in camp before getting cut, but McKenzie didn't get noticed until late. These guys are getting on the radar before their senior year begins.
"That's a lot better than it was the last time we did it because we had to fight and scrap and claw to find an NFL team to give Cole a chance," Howard said.
"Having Cole last year and being able to learn from him and what he had to go through," Dodge said, "everything he had to do at the combines and stuff. It was nice to be able to learn from someone else's experience, especially coming from a smaller college."
It will be an uphill battle for any one of these guys to get drafted by an NFL team let alone all four, but for now someone's taking notice, and that's pretty special.
"Hey, someone is actually looking at me and I can have a shot," Retzlaff said. "Coming to SOU, I just wanted to play football and now I can probably make something out of it. It all depends on how hard you work."
"A couple of the guys have ambitions of playing in the NFL," Young said. "I'm one of them. So for me it was just really exciting, and I was thrilled. I couldn't be any more happy about it."

How to start. . .
My user name is frozen_mercury, as you very well see. I kept putting this off until I had more time in order to type this up. I am a big fan of the older anime, as well as some of the new. The newest anime I am wanting to get are marabuho, and I also want to get the rest of the Evangalion series and the Full Metal Panic Series.
As far as manga choices, I started off with the Priest manga, but found it too dark, so began reading things by Akematsu-sensei. as of recent, I am waiting with as much patience as I can for the Marabuho manga to come out, as well as DearS volume two, and Negima! volume six.
As far as schoolin', I am a sophomore in the IB program (a rigorous program that can, after graduating from highschool, start someone off as a sophomore or junior in college).
I enjoy any sort of academic or musical challenge. Videogames are also fun, but only in small doses (number one, I don't want to get addicted again, and number two because game cost too much money, I would rather buy five manga. Incidentally, in Kansas games run about fifty bucks, and manga ten).
That about wraps it up. Last things to say is that I currently am beginning to learn Japanese, and can speak enough Spanish to get by in Mexico or Spain. To the moderators, I am sorry if this is too long, I tend to overexplain on occasion.

Tellu 3.0.0: Inventory Management and Scripting
Inventory management software Tellu has been completely reworked and is now available in version 3.0.0.
Tellu's software architecture is split into four parts: agents in versions for Linux/UNIX, Mac OS X and Windows; a server in three different programs; the Tellu Skin user interface; and the Telmon monitoring client for X11.
MySQL and OpenLDAP serve as central data storage. As of version 3, the Tellu Expression Language (TEL) provides a simple scripting language to automate database operations.
The agents on the inspected machines collect lots of data such as operating system releases, hardware information, memory usage, network configuration, installed software and running processes. Multiple machines can be grouped in so-called factions, such as resources required for a certain project. Database entries can also include attachments, for example, driver programs or user guides.
Tellu 3.0.0 is ready for download as separate components from the BerliOS project page. The Windows agent is precompiled while others are in source code archives. Tellu is under the original BSD license.

When i reversed into a parking space at work this morning there seemed to be a bit of smoke/vapour coming from the front of the car with a bit of a burning smell. The car had started normally and drove perfectly on the way to work. I checked under the bonnet and everything looked ok and to be honest i forgot all about it. I got into the car to come home about an hour ago and the car started normally and drove normally but it is down on power and there is a bit of a rattling sound which rises and lowers with the engine revs. I'm thinking that the clutch has died, does anybody have any other suggestions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

still seeing overture.
Other than that, it will be interesting to see what kind of impact this really has.
Oddly enough, I'm not sure which side is spinning in that article.
That article read to me like Overture dumped AOL, not the other way around.
Google CPCs are higher in my experience.
So UK traffic previously from AOL via Overture will now cost more via Google.
It was always on the cards IMHO - Google and AOL USA have worked together for a year or more. Makes financial sense for AOL (higher CPC at Google = more profit per CPC for AOL)and means one less partner to work with on the tech/contractual/financial side.

I remember using tree diagrams all the time in high school. Probably the first time we learned them was in mathematics, when they were teaching us about probability.
It's funny how you need that one single lesson, that doesn't seem that important, but it allows you to learn about so many other things later on.
Anyway, I also remember that the teacher taught us about probability by basically making us gamble on what numbers were going to come up when a die was thrown several times.
And then we noted the probabilities into a tree diagram. It took me a long time to really understand this lesson, but I got it in the end.

Nevermind, Nirvana's second studio album, hit the shelves on September 24, 1991 -- and things haven't quite been the same ever since. The landmark brought alternative rock to the mainstream and sold a hell of a lot of products for Colgate (makers of Teen Spirit deodorant) ... . Now, 20 years later, we ask you to choose your favorite song from Nevermind.
So you're a singer trying to make it big on the vaguely-Latin-sounding pop rock circuit, but your guitarist keeps messing up the hit song you spent all that time crafting.
Revolver magazine have just launched their new Slipknot collector's issue, aptly titled "The Book of Slipknot."
On Tuesday, September 27, the bulk of Pink Floyd's catalog is getting the royal reissue treatment, courtesy of EMI. All 14 of the band's studio albums -- from The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn to The Division Bell -- will be available, all remastered and smelling of shiny new cardboard. Also available is the massive Discovery box set, which includes all 14 albums and a very cool photo book.
So we're not claiming any reputable sources -- yet -- on this, but it is fun to think about. The UK's Daily Star is reporting that The Darkness' Justin Hawkins and Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins are considering forming a "supergroup" of sorts.
Last night, Soundgarden lead singer Chris Cornell took the stage on the Late Show With David Letterman to play a brand new song, titled "The Keeper." You can check out video of the performance below.
While Facebook insists that it didn't remove the cover of Nirvana's Nevermind album for violating its terms of use, the social network giant seems to have a new alternative rock icon in its censorship cross hairs: Jane's Addiction.
With Nine Inch Nails on ice at the moment, NIN fans can at least be reassured that Trent Reznor is keeping busy making new music. Most of the new music we've heard from Reznor lately has come in the form of film scores -- one of which, The Social Network, won a freakin' Oscar -- so it's no surprise that the new music we're bringing you today comes from his latest film project, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Disturbed have just unveiled the cover art for their upcoming B-sides compilation, The Lost Children, which you can check out below.
Canada's Threat Signal are releasing their new, self-titled album on October 11 via Nuclear Blast Records, and to get you pumped up, they've sent over a video lesson from guitarist Chris Feener, who shows you how to play the band's new song, "Face the Day."

Context Familial neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (FNDI) is a rare disorder resulting from arginine vasopressin (AVP) gene mutations. A partial defect in AVP secretion occurs early in the course of FNDI and may not be detected by a water deprivation test (WDT). Testing for AVP gene mutations may confirm a diagnosis of FNDI when a WDT is inconclusive and may also predict individuals who will later develop FNDI.
Objective To test the utility of AVP gene analysis in confirming the diagnosis of FNDI.
Patients Five families (20 subjects, 14 symptomatic and six asymptomatic) with FNDI and nine children with idiopathic neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (INDI).
Measurements Genomic DNA was analysed for AVP gene mutations using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and sequencing.
Results Heterozygous AVP gene mutations were found in all subjects with FNDI but none of the ICDI patients. Each family had their own distinct mutation. We identified two novel mutations (C44W and C105S). One asymptomatic subject developed diabetes insipidus (DI) 4 months after detection of an AVP gene mutation. The WDT suggested partial DI in 4/6 but was normal in 2/6 children with FNDI.
Conclusion AVP gene testing allowed diagnostic confirmation of FNDI when the WDT was inconclusive in symptomatic children, therefore obviating the need for a repeat WDT and enabling earlier initiation of appropriate treatment. AVP gene testing also has the potential to identify which asymptomatic children will later develop FNDI.

James Clarke (International Water Management Institute – IWMI) reports from the session on "Reconciling food security, biodiversity and multiple ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes" at the "Planet under Pressure" conference:
We can feed the world without expanding industrial agriculture according to Ivette Perfecto of the University of Michigan. Addressing a packed session at the Planet Under Pressure conference, Professor Perfecto outlined the land sharing and land sparing approach to sustainable agriculture (explored here by CIFOR's Terry Sunderland) which seeks to promote wildlife friendly farming.
There is a widely held view that we have to bring more land into production in order to provide enough food for the world's population. But Perfecto argued that by expanding agro-ecosystems farming rather than pursuing a more industrial approach, we could not only spare natural habitat, but deliver global food security as well.
"Ideology underpins this debate" she said. "The best options depend on our initial assumptions."
"The first important fact to establish is that global food security is not linked to global food production. In fact food production is actually sufficient just now. Enough calories are grown for everyone on the planet to have an adequate diet, but 1 billion are still hungry and this number is increasing."
This is not simply a question of income and resources. Food usage is inefficient and wastage is high. Agricultural policies and trade also have a huge impact, as the recent debate over biofuels has shown. Commodity speculation is now a major influence on food security. 60% of food commodity markets are currently controlled by speculators compared with just 12% 10 years ago. The result of all this activity has been an increase in "land grabs" and inequity.
But policymakers can at least agree that we need to feed the hungry and malnourished. Can this be done sustainably? Already agriculture is viewed as the main culprit responsible for global biodiversity loss. Increasing yields, however, doesn't necessarily have to lead habitat destruction.
"The key point is that we don't need to depend on industrial agriculture," said Perfecto. "Yields in organic systems can be increased by 50% from current levels. Looking at agriculture in the west it would be easy to assume that large scale farming is efficient and delivers the highest yields per hectare. In fact small and medium scale can be more productive on per area basis."
One of the arguments often deployed by proponents of industrialised agricultural intensification is that it results in land sparing. In other words, if farms can grow more food on the same amount of land, there will be no need to encroach on natural areas. The facts suggest otherwise. Intensifying agriculture in many regions has been clearly shown to directly lead to more deforestation. Even if land is spared, ecological systems are not static and biodiversity loss can still be a risk. Local extinctions can occur in isolated pockets of land habitats
"We should support diverse systems," said Perfecto. "That way we can preserve biodiversity and increase yields at the same time."

EUGENE, Ore. — The City of Eugene prosecutor is on administrative leave Monday, accused of driving under the influence this weekend.
A Eugene Police officer pulled over Daniel Barkovic, 60, near Valley River Center Sunday morning. Police say he refused to take a breath alcohol test.
EPD says people do have the right to refuse to take a Breathalyzer; but for Barkovic, it could mean more potential penalties down the road and a year without a license.
Police say around 2:30 a.m. Sunday an officer pulled over Barkovic for multiple traffic violations, including speeding and failure to drive within a lane. Since Barkovic is a city employee, the officer called in Oregon State Police to conduct the DUII investigation. Barkovic was taken into custody, but refused a Breathalyzer.
Springfield Police Sergeant Mike McCarthy says refusing to take the test could mean more penalties.
"If they take the test and pass it there's no sanctions on their driver's license. If they take the test and fail it, they're suspended for 90 days and if they refuse, they can be suspended up for a year," Sgt. McCarthy said.
Sgt. McCarthy says there are two legal process involved in a situation like this: criminal and administrative.
"It's a totally administrative thing through the DMV because when they issue you a driver's license, part of the implied consent is that you will take a breath test when asked. And if you don't take that breath test, DMV will take your license back," Sgt. McCarthy said.
Sgt. McCarthy says the criminal investigation into whether someone is charged with a DUII is entirely separate. So there's potential for the driver's license to be taken away for refusing the test, but be innocent of the DUII charges.
"It's a voluntary thing and we cannot influence them one way or the other to blow or not to blow," Sgt. McCarthy said.
City leaders, including the mayor, would not comment on the incident. Oregon State Police, who is heading the investigation, also declined an interview.
Barkovic is on administrative leave, and the incident is awaiting pending prosecution.

We are to the Everyone Hates Donny show. But now, they have a new girl to shun in Nicole. Donny and Nicole both know they are in a hopeless situation. Donny gets Nicole up to speed. Nicole is nearby. She leaves to go report the conversation to Derrick and Donny informs Nicole that Victoria doesn't even know where she is. She's such a clueless mess.
Derrick is rallying his minions telling them not to talk to Nicole. Christine is not in the room and Derrick says if anyone is going to run their mouths it will be her. He's already setting her up to go home if they can't get either Donny or Nicole out of the house this week. He's three moves in front of everyone in this house. I wonder if Team America ends if Donny is evicted. If production decides to do that, it could help to get Donny further in the game. However, currently everyone REALLY hates Donny for absolutely no reason at all. Derrick is the only one to have anything against Donny because he knows that Donny knows Derrick's exact plan. He explained it very clearly to Cody, but Cody is too stupid to get it.
Please add 3rd degree black belt to Caleb's list of skills and abilities. Which reminds me we had another Caleb family member visit here today. Continue reading

State Senator Ken Yager was recently named to the East Tennessee Development District Association's board of directors.
Yager, a Kingston Republican, was elected by other legislators in the East Tennessee region to serve on the board.
"I am very pleased to be elected to the East Tennessee Development District Board," said Yager.
"I appreciate the confidence that my colleagues have in me and look forward to serving the people of this district."
State Sen. Ken Yager was among those honored by State Sen. Mark Green in their joint efforts in putting faces with the heroes of Tennessee's fallen listed on "The Wall."
"The Wall" is national memorial constructed from black polished marble with the names of 58,300 men and women whose ultimate sacrifice was in service for the United States during the Vietnam War.
Yager, a Kingston Republican, collected 16 photos from around the 12th District for the project.
Amedisys Hospice is planning classes to train hospice volunteers.
Anyone 16 and older can volunteer to visit with patients and their caregivers or do other special projects.
Hospice volunteers do not provide medical care. They provide emotional support and do things to brighten the day of those with terminal illnesses and their caregivers.
"You will make a difference in their lives, and they will make a difference in your life," said Martha Dodge, volunteer coordinator.

The Red Book: A Reader's Edition
Publisher W. W. Norton & Company
Publication Date 2012-12-17
Section New Hardcover - Nonfiction / Psychology
Format Imitation Leather
A portable edition of the famous Red Book text and essay.
The Red Book, published to wide acclaim in 2009, contains the nucleus of C. G. Jung's later works. It was here that he developed his principal theories of the archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation that would transform psychotherapy from treatment of the sick into a means for the higher development of the personality. As Sara Corbett wrote in the New York Times, "The creation of one of modern history's true visionaries, The Red Book is a singular work, outside of categorization. As an inquiry into what it means to be human, it transcends the history of psychoanalysis and underscores Jung's place among revolutionary thinkers like Marx, Orwell and, of course, Freud."
The Red Book: A Reader's Edition features Sonu Shamdasani's introductory essay and the full translation of Jung's vital work in one volume.

Best Strip Club Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach 2009 - Scarlett's Cabaret
2920 SW 30th Ave.
Hallandale Beach, FL 33009
The taxicab top in front of you at the stoplight advertises Scarlett's Cabaret. This is spotted as you drive to work, and you curse your keen detective eye, because maybe this Tuesday you wouldn't have been thinking of naked ladies during office hours. And now the unreasonable side of you already has you positioned in front of the main stage when doors open at noon, tucking a bill into... well, nowhere, because this is a full-nudity strip club. And full liquor bar. And hours are so reasonable that they can fit around anyone's work schedule. Scarlett's doesn't shut its doors until 6 a.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. The fact is (and any fact that involves strippers is a damned good fact) that once the bars close at Hard Rock and in downtown Fort Lauderdale, your partying won't be interrupted, because you know the procession of stripper after stripper never quits. Now that's a reason to get dressed in the morning, so sanctify this cycle of daily life: Wake up, put on clothes, find that damned cab, and take clothes off.

Michelin has become internationally renowned for innovation: the removable tyre, the rail tyre, the radial tyre and the 'green' tyre just some of the examples of the vision of the Group. In this way, Michelin is dedicated to create a better mobility for tomorrow.
In 2011, Michelin and the FIA signed a partnership agreement which fostered the international Golden Rules campaign as part of the FIA Action for Road Safety. This campaign illustrates the special relationship between driver and vehicle: a combination of pleasure and responsible behaviour. It outlines the key safety rules that everyone should be aware of.
Road safety is an ever-present concern for road users throughout the world. This is why the Michelin Group supplies tyres that ensure optimum safety for drivers and their passengers. However, Michelin goes the extra mile by also promoting good practice among road users. Since 2010, Michelin's awareness campaigns have benefited over 3 million people throughout the world.
Motorsport is also in Michelin's DNA, and allows the brand to be at the cutting edge of innovation. Involved in a large range of disciplines, Michelin has always considered motorsport as a true laboratory in order to test and show the superiority of its products. The technology developed through motorsport can be found in Michelin's road tyres, the transfer from track to street being at the heart of Michelin's philosophy. Tyres need to deliver optimal performance on all fronts, from durability and versatility, to safety, consistency and… performance.

Difficulty Number One
The first problem with converting Keynesian theory to Keynesian practice relates to the "lag factor" described above. Here, in order for a central bank or central government to intervene effectively, there must be a relatively accurate sense of what is actually occurring at a particular time within an economy. Yet because data cannot be assessed until after they are collected and processed, they will inevitably represent snapshots of the past to some degree; hence they are revised regularly once more-complete data come in and/or more-thorough analyses take place. And meanwhile, any policy changes will not have their effects felt until some time in the future. So even if economic trends could be reliably established in the short term, the chance of trend shifts and even reversals could be considerable in many cases. After all, it was the very cyclicity of the marketplace that was Keynes' inspiration in the first place. And perhaps most important when it comes to attempting to anticipate and counter market cyclicity: to get it wrong can not only perturb market self-correction; it can easily amplify the cyclicity one is trying to eliminate—as found in wave dynamics of all persuasions.
Difficulty Number Two
The second problem with converting Keynesian theory to Keynesian practice relates to the "interactive factor" described above. That is, there are so many variables in play that it is difficult to know how they are interacting with respect to cause and correlation, which renders using observations of the past events to predict future events all the more difficult still.
Difficulty Number Three
The third problem with converting Keynesian theory to Keynesian practice is that all the factors described above render it very difficult to know how much intervention will be required to counteract an anticipated cycle. And of course, given such room for error with all these factors considered, erring on the high side could prove catastrophic with regard to economic stability. For an apt metaphor we can consider what can happen when controlling an aircraft. Here, a pilot's repetitive over-corrections, or corrections where none are required in the first place, can lead to what is known as pilot-induced oscillation (PIO), something that on more than one occasion has led to the death of all onboard.
Difficulty Number Four
Doubtless the greatest problem with Keynesian economic theory is that it requires the government to fuel a sputtering economy via government injected and directed "stimulus." The first reason this is problematic relates to the source of the stimulus involved, as the funds must be raised from increased taxes, increased borrowing, and/or printing more money.

a bible, theology, politics, news, networking, and discussion site
So Phil got me to thinking. In what ways do the gospels highlight Jesus' humanity? And in what ways is Jesus' divinity illustrated?
Phil offered two examples in another conversation that he feels are often taken backwards. here's what he said, "...we read the calming of the storm as proof of his [Jesus'] divinity, and his [Jesus'] death on the cross as proof of his [Jesus'] humanity. "
"According to the evangelists, Christ was able to tame the storm because he was the second Adam; and according to Paul's letter to the Philippians, Christ's death on the cross was the reason that it was appropriate to give him the name that- according to Isaiah- is reserved for YHWH alone."
What other examples might there be?
Or what do you think about this idea?
Tags: Christ, God.the.Son, Jesus, Son.of.God
Marv said: I mean it helps if you don't prejudice the case by deciding that "Son of God" refers to a merely human personage.
Why is hearing Son of God according to scripture's previous usage prejudicial? I would have thought that was just responsible exegesis. The reformed hermeneutic is a complicated and exotic beastie.
Marv, that's compelling, to say the least, the language from Isaiah. How could that not be about YHWH? But this phrase "Son of God," That seems to be freighted with the weight of many meanings. This is where I really fail as a Bible student, since I don't know Hebrew or Greek. I thought Son of God was, yes, referring to Messiah, in the limited pre-Jesus understanding of Messiah, but also, once Jesus was here, meant...well...God, since Jesus is God.
I mean, like all the prophecies, the reality of the fulfillment is always knock-your-socks of, slap-your-forehead, WOW, who'da guessed it, amazing. So they were already expecting an amazing Messiah, but they never expected GOD. See? That's how I've understood that phrase.
And I guess I take it further, because all the other people who might line themselves up as "Son of God," meaning, God's man for the job of king, or leader, or Very Special Prophet, like Moses, or the coming Messiah, were all conceived and born in the usual way. And sinned.
So back we are to the virgin birth. Jesus is "Son of God" with a twist -- not merely anointed but literally Son. Of. God. The only-begotten Son. Nobody expected that, nobody even ever imagined such a crazy, and until it happened, completely unauthorized event.
So Phil, I guess that's my confusion. Son of God of course has all the meaning that it originally had, but also it has to have new meaning because it's being applied to this unique new being.
Norrin Radd (I love that name), yes, I agree. The gospels were each written to the whole story, and they also had to have been written with a certain target group in mind, and were highlighting one or another apsect of Jesus, for a purpose.
I think that's why John wrote his gospel the way he did, long after the other gospels were in circulation - because he was combatting gnosticism, and it was becoming critically necessary that Jesus divinity be clearly understood as being inexorably intertwined with His physical humanness. I thik John did an incredible, yea inspired, job of it
It's informative, but does not tell you for sure how Mark is using the term.
The Phit formerly known as Bod said:

I'm in agreement with you about Mark's use of Isaiah 40 that there is an identification being made between Jesus and YHWH as kyrios. At the very least it means that Jesus, in Mark, takes on YHWH's New Exodus role in Isaiah 40-55 (in the light of Malachi 3), and various other devices suggest that the identification is stronger still. As for Son of God, given Mark 1:11, Mark's usage of the title seems to be straight out of Psalm 2, grounded in 2 Samuel 7: by using "Son of God", Mark is affirming the kingly expectations of the Messiah. But Mark 1:11 also alludes to Isaiah 42:1, identifying Jesus with the Servant. It seems to me that this OT background (not forgetting Daniel 7) is what is in Mark's mind at the very beginning of his gospel. These OT themes dominate in his christology throughout and form the theological framework through which Mark's story - of the Way of the Lord via the Temple to the Cross - makes sense.
Marv said:
I glanced at Mark earlier today. Just the first chapter, or so it seems to me, is filled with references to the God-man.
I mean it helps if you don't prejudice the case by deciding that "Son of God" refers to a merely human personage. That takes you to chapter one verse one. Then as someone mentioned earlier we have JtheB preparing the way for "the Lord." Since we're into drawing out the meaning from OT passages. This one reads:
A voice cries:
"In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD;
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
(Isaiah 40:3 ESV)
joanne guarnieri said:That makes sense, Seraphim, but am not sure how.
In order for it to be real, and right, Jesus has to be fully human, not a god in disguise, costumed in his 'earth suit.' On the other hand, in order for it be the real thing, Jesus has to also be God, and never stop being God. Superman had to stop being 'super' in order to marry Lois Lane. But Jesus could never stop being God.
I guess the rub has to be when He resisted temptation, and as He lived out His perfect life (never sinning), that all had to be as a human bring, otherwise He could not be the second Adam.
As to miracles, I know of faith healers, and of miracles happening in response to prayer, but we are quite sure that this isn't 'me' doing the miracle. This is God doing the miracle. Any healing, let's say, that comes from the laying on of hands comes by the power of the Holy Spirit Who is working through the hands. In order for Jesus to be the second Adam, it couldn't be Him exercising His divine power, or He would no longer be living as a man.
What Jesus did, He did of His own volition, and on His own steam. No one emptied Him, but He Himself. And Satan knew quite well that if Jesus had so chosen, He could have turned a stone into bread. So His divine power was not out of His reach. And yet...He indicated regularly that He did not access His divine privileges. In fact, that was another refusal on His part, more than once. When the angels came to Him, it was not ever (so far as the texts show) at His bidding.
So this has to be more, or go farther, than a god wearing a human form. That had been done already, in the myths. This had to be the actuality of God/Man.
Am still going to read Mark tonight, God willing
Seraphim said:
Hey Joanne,
I don't think the problem is in the gospels, but when we look at ourselves and say 'hey I'm a man (or woman) - Jesus was God and Man so Jesus must have been a man (person) like me.'
Then I think we run into problems.
You said,
I think you know my answer to this.
Why did I ask? Because I want to know. I don't know all of the various views people take. I suppose there's a possibility that you hold a hybridized version of the two. I seriously asked with no ulterior motives. I just am trying to understand.
No offense intended.
ScottL said:
Jason -
On the other hand, I'm wondering about your view of Jesus as the Son of God. Are you a believer in incarnational Sonship, or do you believe that He is the eternal Son? If so, how do these things relate, and how do they fit into your view?
I think you know my answer to this.
Think about it; if the only Divine activity was the work of the Son in dependence upon the Father and not God the Son working, what was all of this about? Why the incarnation? Why God become flesh?
He was being the faithful Adam.
As I said, I don't mean to offend.
I will tell you this, however, I appreciate it if someone perceives something that they think needs to be corrected in my thinking. I try to accept that they care. They may be incorrect, but I appreciate someone caring enough to at least present their concerns.
I'm understanding a little more of your approach, but I still am concerned. As that disturbs you, I'll simply follow this conversation in silence from here on out so as to not perturb you more.
ScottL said:
First of all, I don't mean to offend by bringing in Arianism. I think there's a need for a warning. If I see you on top of a hill and I yell, "Be careful, that hill is as slippery as snot on a glass door knob! Don't go there!" I'm simply warning you to not get close to the dangerous area. If you feel that what you believe is nowhere near the danger area, please explain it more fully, because it looks slippery to me.
That helps my feelings. I've seriously felt that we were miscommunicating, but have had serious concerns. I still do, but I think that there are some terms that we can agree on.
Yes, but plenty give warnings when warnings aren't needed. Plenty warn not to go into that bar, it's a worldly place with drunk people. But, though I might have a drink with a friend, I'm not going there to get drunk.
So it depends on one's particular perception. But there is nothing in ANY of my statements that warrant that I am unorthodox or near unorthodox. I am concerned that you somehow think I am near to an unorthodox christology.
On the matter of the several legions of angels Jesus could have invoked for protection, this is not too unlike Psa. 91:11 and esp. 2 Ki. 6:16 -- especially since Jesus plainly says He would ask the Father for the angels, not that He (Jesus) would have directly call on the angels Himself.
Joanne, take a look at what Matt pointed out. The prophecy from Isaiah isn't really from Isaiah only. It is a combination of Exodus 23:20-23, Malachi 3:1 and Isaiah 40:3 (though read Isaiah 40:1-9 for full impact). The Malachi passage has been changed by Mark. Do you see how it has been changed? Seems important to your reading.
The exodus passage is about God going before Israel in order to lead them into the Promised Land. Mark is bringing up themes of exodus.
Malachi is looking forward to the day in which Israel's exile is finally over.
And Isaiah is about the same hope. The highway through the desert is the highway from Babylon to Jerusalem.
Mark then goes on (Shrek style) to present Jesus as the New Moses and New Joshua.
It is very hard not to read our own post Nicene understandings back into the text… prejudicially, but the first job is to hear the text as those who were its players would have heard it.
Marv mentioned the 1st verse:
Gospel- had specific Roman imperial meanings. The audience would have heard this as an announcement about a king, but more importantly, it had royal Jewish meaning. (Isaiah 40:9-10 and Isaiah 52:7) these texts are about… the promised return from exile.
Christ is a David reference- Psalm 89:20 and Psalm 2:2 (as I notice you point out.)
Likewise 'son of god' is a royal Davidic reference- 2 Samuel 7:12-16 because it was first a reference to the people of Israel (Exodus 4:22 and later Hosea 11:1), and so appropriate to apply to Israel's king. We see this connection in John's gospel 'Nathaniel answered him, " Rabbi, you are the son of God; You are the King of Israel.' John 1:49
This would not have triggered images of Jesus as ontologically identical with the Father. It would trigger images of the beginning of the New Exodus and the end to the exile that Israel found herself under.
Mark is telling his readers at the very beginning that his story is about the promised victory of Israel's king which will finally bring her exile to an end.
Ser, I think you inadvertently posted in the wrong thread. No one here claimed that anything was wrong with the gospels.
Ser said: in the Gospels, the places where Jesus shows us his divinity would be these:
Anywhere He forgave sins.
Does that mean the priests and disciples were divine too?
Leviticus was very clear:
Then he shall offer the second for a burnt offering according to the rule. And the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin that he has committed, and he shall be forgiven. Lev 5:10
The Scribes and Pharisees in Mark 2:7 were familiar with the passage. There problem was that Jesus was overturning the old order, which was essential to their position. It would be like you sitting on the steps of the court house, issuing Driver's Licenses. It would tick the Dept of Transportation off.
Christ wasn't claiming to be God by forgiving sins. Christ was assuming the place of the temple - the central identifying motive of Israel.
John has a very high Christology.
Phil, The Malachi passage has been changed by Mark. Do you see how it has been changed? Totally! In Malachi it's God talking, in Mark it's God talking to.....if you were to ask me, God. When "Me" becomes "You," it can only mean "Me" and "You" are one being.
I agree with everything you've said, here. Everything. I think that layer of meaning is absolutely there, and that's what clouded the disciples' own understanding of Jesus for just about the entire time they were together. In fact, at times, within the gospels, they admit it. Their hearts were hard and so the colossal truth about Jesus didn't penetrate.
What I did was to go to Peter's letters. I'm convinced that Mark's gospel is really Peter's gospel, due to their close relationship. In his letters he seems to have a pretty well developed sense of the trinity, as he speaks freely of the Father, Spirit and Son, and then speaks of God. He links faith to God, in 1 Pet 1:21, and then setting apart Jesus as Lord in your heart, in 2 Pet 3:15.
The way Peter describes Jesus' reign, at the right hand of God in heaven, portrays a person who is far beyond even the second Adam (1 Pet 3:22). Adam's throne was to be on earth, where men and women reigned together.
Peter's address in his second letter is even more compelling, as God and Jesus are just about interchangeable (2 Pet 1:1-2). In fact, verses 3 and 4 appear to point back straight to the last person named in Peter's address -- Jesus. There Peter speaks of Jesus divine power. From there on in he usually points back to the Lord, though on occasion speaks of God. The way he talks about it, it sure looks like he views Jesus as God.
So that's the overlay I used when reading Mark, as best I could. The chief witness consulted in the writing of Mark was convinced Jesus is God.
I don't want to miss the particularly Jewish message of this gospel. Definitely it's there. And actually, this gospel had a tough job. The exodus was begun, the Messiah had come, as predicted, but it's not at all what everyone was expecting. It's far more, it's way different, and it will also be, probably, a disappointment to some. Rome did not get overthrown in their day. In fact, God's judgment rolled down and it's Jerusalem that got not just overthrown, but pounded into rubble.
