James - Faith That Works
Digital Art
The book of James is full of practical wisdom for every day living. Some say that James (the disciple of Jesus) and the apostle Paul had opposing arguments on the requirements for salvation. Supposedly James stated that what a person does (their "works") contributed to their salvation, while Paul argues that salvation is by grace alone and nothing else.
This would appear to be a contradiction in the Bible. However, these seemingly opposing views actually work together. It's like James and Paul were fighting the same battle, back to back, just facing different foes. The "foes" being those who take grace to the extreme, and those who take works to the extreme.
The things that we do cannot get us into heaven according to scripture. Entrance into God's family is through the forgiveness of our sins which comes through a saving knowledge of Jesus, also known as "grace". However, the things that we do
that we are saved because our actions are a natural result of a changed life. James stated " I will show you my faith by my works." in James 2:18.
So, what is it? Faith OR works? Faith AND works? I think it is faith THAT works.
References to some of the symbolism used in this image:
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind." James 1:5-6
"For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was." James 1:23-24
Tongue, fire, and ship's rudder:
"If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. Indeed, we put bits in horses' mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison." James 3:1-8
"Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures." James 1:18
Grass and flower:
"For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits." James 1:11

I agree. Paul and James were not contradicting each other. The reason I said it "appeared" to be a contradiction in the Bible is because alot of people see it as a contradiction, when in fact it is not. I think you and I are on the same page.

I'm a Christian too and I respect your descriptions but, are u sure that Apostle James and Apostle Paul were contradicted each other, about the requirements of salvation?... You will know the side of Apostle Paul if you try to read the whole books that he have written. If you notice, all the books are messages and teachings of Apostle Paul to the Christian Churches who were believers, and already saved in every places like Rome and Jerusalem.
They are saved... why? because they did already the three steps or requirements of salvation. And what is that?
Answer is: B.R.B.
Repent (work of faith)
Baptize (work of faith) - Even Apostle Paul baptized for his salvation. (Acts 9:18)
- to wash away our sins (Acts 22:16)
And as long as they are saved, the Holy Spirit is working in them. The Church is like the body and Christ is the head, each of them must work according to their gifts which is given by God (Col 1:18). The Church already know the doctrines of salvation that Apostle Paul delivered to them (1 Thessalonians 2:15). He don't need to teach the requirements but to teach on how to preserve the gift of salvation which received by them from God (Ephesians 2:8).
So... about Apostle James, his teachings is not opposing Apostle Paul's. He tend to preach and teach not only in believers but also in unbelievers too, that were not yet saved. That's their main goal, to save all of us through Christ, and to know the truth.

No worries .... just, good rule of thumb .... if God says, "give 2 mg epinephrine once, wait five minutes, then give it again" ..... just do that lol
Don't spike it with potassium or other drugs you think will help, sometimes the opposite effect happens
I mean, I know you're just trying to be helpful by being positive, and I appreciate it
But Santa Claus isn't real, and never comes down the chimney. He's too fat anyway.
But those gifts still come from somewhere, somehow, someway, you know what I mean? So the gifts are real, they just don't come from wishful thinking about flying reindeer. I've never seen them fly yet ... but you never know.
In other words, hope is cool as long as it's based in reality. And if God said there was a reason to be hopeful, then great. But maybe god will tell you, "tell Trent there is no Santa Claus and all he has from here on out is tornados and hurricanes ..." .... I'd rather know upfront, you know?
You're not doing me any favors by sugar coating anything lol
God has told me to tell people they were going to die before, or that their lives were a lie, etc .... and the one's who listened benefited. The ones who didn't, well ... suffered hardcore because they chose to remain "positive" when it wasn't time to be positive. Ya know? That's horrible ... when you watch someone suffer after warning them straight from God but they don't listen. You feel so powerless.
There is an alternative though ... but it's rare. It's when someone gets between God and the person, fights God for that person. But that takes a special type of love. It takes a special type of love to basically be willing to take upon yourself all the consequences that another person deserves. I know you're thinking Jesus immediately ... but people do it sometimes. There is no greater love, right? But ... again, that is so rare that someone lays down their life for another. I mean, truly laying it down ... giving up their right to life, blessing, everything ... so that another may have it who might even waste it all. I'm not talking about physically dying. That is just one thing. I'm talking about living a sort of empty, void filled, living hell. Taking your birthright and giving it to another ... out of love, not out of desperation.
It's like clipping your own wings to be with men. It's similar to Jesus ....
Okay so now that we got the "god said" part out of the way, I feel better. Everything else now is semantics lol
How are you? ROFL

Let me clarify.
God told me that I am not the one to fix this situation, that He is the one who will work on you and with you. The part about hope was from me.
Just offering a suggestion because it is something that has gotten me through. The hope that I will see His goodness, either in this life or in eternity. I don't know what is in store for you because He did not tell me.
I take it very seriously, I don't want to appear as saying "God said..." when He didn't say it.
Featured By Owner
Aug 31, 2010
Hmm .... well then he better
Thanx for asking him. At least He told someone else about me
And did He tell you that what was coming was "good" ? Or are you just saying that lol
No sugar coating missy !!! Believe it or not ... I'm really big on not "going beyond what was written" .... I know you're probably thinking the opposite lol
But I apply that to when God speaks ... what He says is life giving, even if it's a simple thing. But I don't add to it .... that's hard when you add to it, cuz my words aren't the same as his
And thanx for the prayers, I guess
At least you did ask the Physician directly
Just .... no made up prognosis or false hope. If I'm getting ready to face more shit storm, then at least let me know that. That is one reason I'm not trusting God as much lately. What He calls "good" I call "hard growing and labor pains"
Most of the time it seems
Anyway ..... thanx Emberblue. Hmm ....

Actually, I did ask Him. I asked Him a week ago. He told me that this one is not for me to fix, that He will take care of it. In the mean time I've been praying for you quite often. I don't know you, but I care. All that I can offer you is prayer and words of encouragement. In the position you are in you have to hold on to hope, you have no other choice. But it's a hope that does not disappoint. A confidant expectation of coming good...whether this life or the next.

Sort of ..... symbolically yes .... in my own personal story Jesus died but hasn't risen again
I say sort of, because He actually has died and risen a couple of times with me lol
That's what is so heartbreaking. But before it was different than this time. Before I trusted God with my soul, or my finances, or my faith, or a belief, or my heart. Like .... a few things at a time, here and there. At the time, I was giving all I had to give .... but, I just didn't have that much to give
But there came a point in time where I had much .... much that God had given me. And I placed it all on his betting table. Not by my terms .... I haven't laid out the terms. God laid them out. I had a small say in them, but he okayed every say I had. So they are His terms .... I haven't laid them out and demanded anything
I only want God to do what he said He would do. That's it.
Now there is more on the line, because it's not just me. It's not all about me. It's about others as well. We all put our chips on his table, so to speak.
Imagine if God had never stopped Abraham when he was about to kill Isaac. That is where I'm at. My Isaac is dead.
Now ... as far as having a friendly discussion about beliefs, I know that is what you were doing ... but beliefs don't do me any good right now. Talking is like, what people do when they aren't in a crises. When you stop for a drink during the race .... but once you start racing again, there is no time for talk. When you are doing CPR on someone, beliefs don't mean squat. Beliefs go into action. When someone is having a heart attack .... having a friendly conversation about beliefs takes place once they are stabilized. But not during the heart attack. Not during the rape. That is when beliefs are put to the test ... during the action.
Power .... not talk
I would have talked with you for hours months ago, and we could have compared notes and learned a lot from each other. But I need more than that right now. And I don't know what you could do to help me either .... do you have 20-100 thousand dollars to spare?
I asked God what you could do ... did you ask God? lol So ask God .... directly. See what he tells you, directly. No second hand stuff ... but straight from the source. I've done so but I don't like everything he has to say. It's hurtful
Maybe He will tell you something else. Ask him what should be done
Tell me what He says.
And sorry if you got the wrong idea from me ... at first I was sort of just having a conversation, but once someone starts speaking on God's behalf about what He does and doesn't do, or can and can't do ... then I'm open to actually more than just conversation. Because people who know so much about god should be able to actually do something more than just talk ... and that's what I need. More than just talk. Usually, if all I have to offer the suffering is talk, I don't talk
Okay ttyl ......

I understand that symbolically in your own personal story Jesus died but never rose again. Correct? He has been faithful in the past but it appears that this time, when it really mattered most, He was not. At least that is what I gathered.
I wasn't trying to convince you or anything. Besides, even if I tried to I don't think you would have it.
It sounds like you've laid out the terms that you expect God to meet and you are waiting for Him to meet them. I don't know that there is much I can do.
My intention was not to argue you into seeing things the way I do, but to have a friendly conversation discussing why you believe what you do and why I believe what I do.
Is there anything I can do to help you any?

Aww, bummer. I thought that you might have been speaking metaphorically, but I was hopeful that maybe you weren't.
It seems like you believe that God does not always keep His promises. Either because He chooses not to or is unable to. And how can God allow evil to happen and not stop it? Why does God let bad things happen to me? Personally, the worst thing I could ever imagine happening to me would be rape. But if I was brutally raped, I would not blame God for not preventing it. I would blame sin and the person who did it to me. God did not promise to remove the evil in this world...yet. God does not always intervene and stop these kinds of things, but I do not believe that means He failed. He didn't promise to prevent every kind of evil, so how did He fail if He did not say He would do it? If you want the worst things in life to be prevented, it sounds like you are looking for heaven...but we aren't there yet. In the mean time we are here, living in an imperfect world where bad things happen to good people every day. The most of the 12 disciples were brutally killed for believing in Jesus. Why didn't God save them? And modern day martyrs?
For me this conversation has confirmed my beliefs even stronger in my heart. I believe it even more so. What God promised has come true, is coming true, and will come true. In this life we will have tribulations, but we need not fear because He has overcome the world. This life is short. Only 80 years or so compared to eternity. The horrible things that happen every day are a fulfillment of what He said would happen. I see His promises coming true all the time, all over the world.
I do sing His praises. I sing them with Job. "Though He slay me, yet will I praise Him."
It will be interesting to see how your own personal story works out, even though I will probably not see it.
You never know when that resurrection might come.

No I'm not really an Israelite ... I meant it metaphorically
I actually used to live and work in Israel, but no .... I'm no Israelite
And no ... I'm not saying that if I disagree with God's actions or don't understand what is happening, that means God failed. I'm saying, if God tells me something is going to happen which doesn't .... and it's GODS RESPONSIBILITY .... then God fails. It's God's business. It's His role.
If I watch my kid get run over by a car, I fail as a parent. If I watch my neighbor rape my sister, I fail as a brother. I'm not being rude ... but this isn't rocket science. Saying that god doesn't fail over and over doesn't make it true. God's ACTIONS make it true. If we were discussing anyone other than God, you'd probably be agreeing with me. If we were discussing someone who raped your children or something, you would probably agree with me.
God became a man. Yes? He fell under the same judgement as men. Yes?
That is part of the blessing of knowing God and Jesus ... is ACCEPTING HIS SACRIFICE.
I've never understood why those who claim to believe in Jesus, don't accept his sacrifice. They don't make use of it. They are still turning to all these other ideas .... perfection of some ethereal being. Or some words spoken to prophets, etc. Jesus was the image we had, right? The first half of how we were to know God. Well ... Jesus hung on a cross bearing the punishment. He died. He rose from the dead .... yes? But for awhile, he was dead. He was in hell.
I think you are taking for granted part of the point of God being a human, and dying, etc and so forth .... If I loved someone, who wanted me to follow them, and trust them with my life, and my finances, and my family .... and they up and died on me .... in fact, they were charged like a criminal for being a false prophet and this and that. And then when they died, that was it .... no more miracles, no nothing. Just some heresay from others. And not only that .... but I had to go back to doing what I did before to earn money for my family which waited around on ME and trusted ME, etc and so forth .... I would logically, rationally, and HUMANLY think Jesus failed me. God failed me. It was all bullshit. I was no apostle. There was no rising from the dead. There was no point to the previous three years. Nothing.
Until I saw Jesus again that is.
I haven't seen Jesus again. Not since His death.
Get it?
Now ..... the words of the prophets and others, it's easy to look at them and learn from them. It's easy, because we can see their stories from their beginning to their end. We see David defeat goliath one day .... and then years later he's king. We read about his struggles, and the death of his child after raping Bathsheeba .... and we take for granted that we already know the outcome.
THAT is what I am saying are postcards. It's like reading about the marriages of others, and thinking that qualifies you to know what it's like to be married. It's not the same.
I have seen Jesus die in my life ..... I have not seen him rise from the dead yet. No ressurection. I have seen miracles, and this and that, etc. I enjoyed my versions of following Him .... my equivalents that others who have followed him in the past have experienced. And I have said the same things you have said. But it's so easy to say, until you truly watch Jesus die, like a criminal. And you wonder, "is he a criminal? Is he the one that was to come, or should we blow this shit off and wait on another? Does he actually rise from the dead? AFterall, this thing I've been hanging onto has been dead now for three years ... and it smells like rotted corpses".
I know the ending of all the other stories. So what. I have my own story. See?
You have your own story too. Yours involves whatever it involves. I am in a different place, that's all. I want to touch the wounds now with my own hands .... no more words. I need to eat a meal that Jesus cooks again .... not just hang onto my own memories or those of dead prophets. That is food at different points ... not this point
I need the ressurrection.
Can you make my life rise from the dead .... and all the situations I am in? You probably could to some degree .... but it would be at your expense. Financially, physically, emotionally. The common Xtian answer is, "only god can do that," .... so let Him
. Let Him speak for Himself. Again ... I'm not trying to be rude, really ... but suppose you are speaking for god, speaking his truths ... then you should have the power to make whatever you say happen, yes? You would be like an emissary ... and envoy. If you say it, you can back it up .... financially, physically, etc. I need about 100,000$ to help pay for about fifteen people I know who are in a crushing situation. Some of them could use a little just to cheer them up. Others could use a lot to help put diapers on there kids. Some could use it to have working air conditioning in their house in this 103 degree heat, others could use it to get medications they need. I could use some as well for my own family so I don't have to quit a job to watch my kids since we've had three people back out. I could also use it to help a kidnap victim I know in New Jersey who is trying to go to school to make something of her life, etc.
I could also use a new heart. The emotional kind. I've given just about all I know to give of my time and finances ... and I'm spent
I'm lonely and in need now ... I took every risk god told me to take in order to help some of these people .... and I did help them, but now they are all scattering like lambs to a slaughter. He needs to hold up his end of the bargain.
So if you're going to sing the praises of god while me and others are suffering .... I understand where you're coming from. Really
It's not your responsiblity to help everyone who suffers in life. It's your freedom to pick and choose ... just like it's mine. That is part of the beauty of God ... he gives us freedom to worry about ourselves and a select few, rather than try to be god ourselves.
Which is precisely why I'm still here, waiting on god to not fail any longer. The finances are important to others, and me somewhat .... but god broke my heart when he died. He broke it, because I trusted him to ressurrect. And it's been awhile now.
Make him appear, come back alive and work his power over my promised land, and my life, and those who are linked to me .... and then I'll sing with you
But I've given him all I know to give ... which has always worked out before, actually. But this time I trusted him with something more precious to me .... something he let die. And that death, has caused the death of all this other destruction ..... so it can be either corn seed spread out for more corn .... or it can stay barren and nothing more than rotted corn seed which produced squat.
I rambled there towards the end, but I think you got what I was trying to say hopefully
With me, there is a time and place for semantics. The middle of a death, isn't one of them. The middle of a rape, isn't one of them. And when someone is screaming and yelling help, and bleeding out in front of you .... it's not one of them either. You perform CPR, stop the rape, put pressure on the wound .... feed the hungry, help the blind getting ready to be run over in the street ..... you get the picture
Nice talking to you too, btw

Are you really an Israelite?!?!
That is awesome!!! I feel blessed to talk to you.
This conversation can easily branch off into a much wider discussion that can go on for a while. Which I'm not opposed to.
I see what you are saying. This is my view on the topic: Jesus never promised me that life would be "good" or easy or the way I expected it to be, or that I would approve of what happened. But He did promise to give me the strength to overcome. And no matter what happens in this life, He has guaranteed my salvation, the next life. So in my opinion God does not fail. (As you probably already noticed from my signature, lol!). This life sucks, but the next life wont.
Are you saying that if you disagree with God's actions or don't understand what is happening that it means God failed? Just trying to understand you.

Aug 26, 2010
No worries .... but you are probably right, we will probably never agree on this topic, because as you point out .... we know different gods lol
My god isn't the bible, mine is the God of the bible though. Two big differences. One is like knowing a postcard and everything you see in it .... the other is living in that country, meeting the officials, knowing the people, etc. Know what I mean?
But I will point out that god failing doesn't mean god can't be perfect. God is still god, regardless. People fail all the time, but I still love some of them and believe in some of them. ULTIMATELY ..... I am hoping God will succeed. ULTIMATELY. Not just in my life, but also the afterlife.
This is another point to discuss concerning faith .... faith is the what isn't seen, right? It's what you hope for, but don't have yet so to speak. So, faith is different from fact.
Faith and fact are almost mutually exclusive. They can be related .... like, you have faith in something, and then it comes to pass becoming fact. It's no longer hope, it's a reality.
This is the difference between the postcard and the real world. The picture the bible paints is one of HOPE .... you are trusting it to convey realities. But they themselves aren't the reality. They are stories .... stories you were not present to witness, nor see with your own eyes. Like anything that you take secondhand.
Now when it comes to God .... the attributes you find mentioned in the bible concerning God .... if you haven't experienced them yourself, you are HOPING in them. When they become a reality, they are then fact. Until then it's faith.
I'm pointing this out, because of the difference between the two. Saying something like, "God is perfect because the bible says so," .... doesn't mean shit really. It doesn't, because I don't know that. It could change tomorrow. The last 40 days, perhaps God treated me perfectly .... but what if God starts doing things that I don't understand, agree with, etc? There comes a point, where some people stop making excuses for god, and trying to pump up his reputation with some of his old deeds that are assumed, OR ..... even making excuses for God based on things he's done previously in your life which are fact.
This is the crux of having a relationship, with ANYBODY. It is how trust is earned ... over time. It is proven, through action. Over time
If a stranger comes up to you, and says, "trust me ... here is why ... " there is no rule saying you have to believe him. His resume doesn't mean squat. You choose to trust him. And many have suffered that way .... many have become hurt.
Now lets say over time, he earns your trust. He goes from stranger, to friend .... to even a lover perhaps. Suppose you marry him. Then, one day .... he CHANGES. He starts making choices and doing things that effect you in ways you don't like or want. He apparently starts to lose your trust, etc and so forth.
Do you divorce him? Do you leave him? Do you question him? Do you talk to him about it?
Again ... it's part of a relationships. It is the reality of a thing, that's all. But just going off the bible .... is like pushing God's resume. I no longer need his resume, I need Him to go to work. And He has ... for me .... many times, in many ways. Don't be sorry God has failed me. God is god. I am DISAPPOINTED in God. But God failing me freed me up quite a bit actually ... it showed me the human side of Jesus ... the human side I needed to see. The side that isn't powerful, the side that is weak. The side that values a person above the truth .... values love above earning things. It showed me how god can love a bunch of hairless monkeys called people, when for all intent and purposes He should still be destroying them left and right
I would, if I were God.
So God failing me ... I wouldn't consider it a normal family if I didn't experience God's words falling to the ground. BUT .... ultimately I hope they stand up. They just haven't. They have, in an underhanded and twisted sort of way with me. Not always, just ... right now. It's my path. That's all. I still have the HOPE .... but that hope isn't fact. Get it? I'm not walking around saying something is fact, when I don't know it for a fact. It's just a hope. Until then, as far as I'm concerned, God failed big time in this one way in particular .... the most important way to me personally. He's still God though. With or without me acknowledging it. And I still love god, in my way. I still have some trust for Him .... but he lost some trust from me. But ... I still have hope.
No amount of showing me God's resume will change that ... because I know the living breathing God. Not day old bread from 2000 years ago. I don't gain comfort from postcards that much anymore. I am in a promised land full of war and despair and blood. The postcard isn't as pretty as I was told. I'm an Israelite

Defense Meteorological Satellite Program U.S. AIR FORCE FACT SHEET Posted: October 10, 2003
The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) mission is to generate terrestrial and space weather data for operational forces worldwide. The Air Force is the Department of Defense's executive agent for this program. The data from this program is also furnished to the civilian community through the Department of Commerce NOAA. The DMSP satellites are designed to meet unique military requirements for worldwide weather information. Through these satellites, military weather forecasters can detect developing patterns of weather and track existing weather systems over remote areas. Data from these satellites can help identify, locate and determine the intensity of severe weather such as thunderstorms, hurricanes and typhoons. It also can be used to form three-dimensional cloud analyses, which are the basis for computer forecast models to meet unique military requirements. Additionally, space environmental data is used to assist in high frequency communications, over-the-horizon radar and spacecraft drag and reentry tasks. All of this quickly available information aids the military commander in making decisions. For example, data obtained through this program are especially valuable to support the launch, en route, target and recovery portions of a wide variety of strategic and tactical missions. DMSP satellites provide meteorological data in real time to Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps tactical ground stations and Navy ships worldwide. This data is also stored in recorders on the satellites for later transmission to one of four ground stations located near Fairbanks, Alaska; New Boston, N.H.; Thule Air Base, Greenland; and Kaena Point, Hawaii. From these command stations, data is relayed to the Air Force Weather Agency at Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., to the U.S. Navy's Fleet Numerical Meteorological and Oceanographic Center at Monterey, Calif., and to the Air Force's 55th Space Weather Squadron at Falcon Air Force Base, Colo., where this information is used to compile numerous worldwide weather and space environmental products. The launch vehicle's upper-stage and the orbital satellite have been integrated into a single system. This system, which navigates from lift off and provides guidance for the spacecraft from booster separation through orbit insertion, as well as electrical power, telemetry, attitude control and propulsion for the second stage. DMSP satellites circle the Earth at an altitude of about 500 miles in a near-polar, sun-synchronous orbit. Each scans an area 1,800 miles wide and covers the entire Earth in about 12 hours. Pointing accuracy of the satellites is maintained by four reaction wheel assemblies that provide three-axis stabilization. The primary sensor on board is the Operational Linescan System that observes clouds via visible and infrared imagery for use in worldwide forecasts. A second important sensor is the Special Sensor Microwave Imager, which provides all-weather capability for worldwide tactical operations and is particularly useful in typing and forecasting severe storm activity. The spacecraft also carries a suite of additional sensors, which collect a broad range of meteorological and space environmental data for forecasting and analysis. DMSP satellites are launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. The most recent occurred on Dec 12, 1999 with the launch of satellite F-15.� The next launch, F-16, will be the last Titan 2 launch of any satellite, not just DMSP.� F-17 will be on a Boeing EELV Delta 4. The Department of Defense's executive agent for this program is located at the Space and Missile Systems Center, Los Angeles Air Force Base, Calif. The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also furnishes data from this program to the civilian community. A National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Suitland, Md., joint-operational team provides command and control.

Steve Varley, UK chairman and managing partner at Ernst & Young, said: "I am really proud of the Ernst & Young global brand.
"Being the number one brand in our sector is a tribute to all our people, and is recognition of our focus on globalisation, entrepreneurship and being the most diverse and inclusive employer in our industry."
Other accounting organisation to make it onto the rankings table, in alphabetical order, are: ACCA, Baker Tilly, CIMA, ICAEW, and the IFA.

If budgeting is to have any value at all, it needs a radical overhaul. In today's dynamic marketplace, budgeting can no longer serve as a company's only management system; it must integrate with and support dedicated strategy management systems, process improvement systems, and the like. In this paper, Professor Peter Horvath and Dr Ralf Sauter present what's wrong with the current approach to budgeting and how to fix it.
In this white paper CCH provide checklists to help accountants and finance professionals both in practice and in business examine these issues and make plans. Also includes a case study of a large commercial organisation working through the first year of mandatory iXBRL filing.

While configuring a TableAdapter I noticed that the option "Create methods to send updates directly to the database (GenerateDBDirectMethods)" is greyed out.
Can a TableAdapter only have one table in order to create the methods for sending the updates directly to the database?
If so, what is the work-around?
The TableAdapter that I am trying to create uses the following statement to fill its DataTable:
SELECT Client.Name, Users.FirstName, Users.LastName
FROM Users INNER JOIN
Client ON Users.ClientId = Client.Id

"Seventh-Generation Thinking" means considering the longterm impact of our actions even to the seventh generation to follow. Or I have sometimes heard this perspective phrased: seeing yourself as in the midpoint of a seven-generation span — such that ethical decisions should try to honor the wisdom of the three generations that preceded you (back to your great-grandparents) and to consider the legacy you are leaving for the three generations that will follow you (your great-grand child … [Read more...]
Margaret Fuller: The Stories We Tell Matter
The stories we tell matter. The stories that we choose to tell can be used to empower ourselves and others or they can be used to belittle and diminish. The stories we choose to tell can inspire us, expanding our minds and opening our hearts, or they can instill fear, scapegoating and demonizing others. And when I say that the stories we choose to tell matter, I use that word 'choose' intentionally. Because we can choose to tell a different story than the one we have inherited or have learned to … [Read more...]

Still early in my transition from seminary to full-time minister, I was reflecting a lot on how myself and the congregation were called to form the young people in … [Read more...]

Ehrman's "How Did Jesus Become God?" and What Does Resurrection Mean Today?
I suspect that some people might be surprised to learn that in many Unitarian Universalist congregations both Christmas Eve candlelight services and Easter Sunday services are some of the highest attendance Sundays of the year. Admittedly, Easter could seem like an odd time to attend a Unitarian Universalist congregation. After all, the Unitarian half of our heritage arises from the heretica" view of affirming the humanity of Jesus and rejecting his divinity — or saying that any way in which Jesu … [Read more...]

The Life Tradition versus the Death Tradition in Christianity
A man died. The people who knew him gathered to share memories. Finally, a portrait was commissioned. But as generations passed, the painting did not seem fine enough.

People began to feel that the old portrait of that dark fellow with the haunting eyes pulled the effect down. As it began to peel from age, they extended the frame inward. One day … [Read more...]

The stock market performance of the central banks of Belgium and Japan
Goldberg, Lawrence G. and Kabir, Rezaul (2002) The stock market performance of the central banks of Belgium and Japan. Journal of Economics and Business, 54 (1). pp. 137-152. ISSN 0148-6195
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy 114kB |
Abstract: | Most central banks issue stock that is held by the government and/or commercial banks and is not tradable. In contrast, stocks of the central banks of Belgium and Japan are traded on the Brussels and Tokyo stock exchanges. The purpose of the paper is to examine this unique phenomenon of stock market valuation of central banks. Our analysis shows that shares of these two central banks have performed poorly. We also investigate the factors affecting central bank stock returns and find that the stock market return is the only statistically significant determinant. Neither the assets held by the central bank nor the country's macroeconomic factors show strong and stable relationships with central bank stock returns. An event study using recent data from Japan shows that the effect of certain macroeconomic events on the value of the Bank of Japan stock is statistically insignificant. |

I've been working on this since March, it's gone through alot of changes and screw-ups.
Arrow Keys/WASD = Move
Space = Jump
Jumping + Switching between movement keys at a wall = Wall Jump
Jumping + arrow-key-pointing-to-wal l = Wall Climb
Z = Place Checkpoint
P = Pause
R = Retry (if auto-restart is enabled only)
M = Toggle Music + Death Sound
Your objective is to complete all of the levels as best as you can (in the form of minimizing your death count + time taken to beat the level packs). 2 Extra packs are available if for some reason you enjoy the game.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
This reminds me of IWBTG.
It's not as hard, of course, but the controls are pretty similar. Not really much to say, it's pretty basic, yet worthwhile, fun to play and really addictive. Nice work.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I wanna be..
The guy! Much like MatticusMaximus said, this reminds me of I wanna be the guy, which is just sweet. Even the Restart screen, and spikes, just awesome.
Wall jumping is a pain in the butt though!
Fun still, and the Checkpoint Place ability is love. ++
Rated 5 / 5 stars
helll yeahh =D
dude this game is fucking amazing!!! theres alot of simple games like this that are fun but this is the best one by far. please please PLEASE make more like this. maybe funny story to it too.
I have considered redoing it, completely, including improved controls, and possibly a division of 2 "level packs" (100 levels for newbies, and 100 levels for pros), the level editor would also be improved.
Thanks for playing!
Rated 2 / 5 stars
Meat Boy clone
1) Much like Meat Boy, but this has less in graphics, audio and game dynamics.
2) Controls are too twitchy.

1964 comes back and the St. Louis Cardinals are disguised as the Philadelphia Phillies and the Cincinnati Reds are the St. Louis Cardinals.
Chico Ruiz stole home against the Phillies to win 1-0 and to start the Phils slide. When I heard Freel was at third today, I saw people type that Freel should steal home. I immediately thought of Chico Ruiz.
Who knows. The schedule sure looks easy.
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
We get hire a Ukrainian spy to add a "special something" to the Cardinals food during a team meal. The entire team falls ill for the remaining of the season and is regulated to bed rest.
More realistically and legally, it's going to take a collapse of epic proportions by the Cardinals since there are too many teams between the Reds and the Wild Card.
This reminds me of a personal favorite golf quote.
Reporter: "What will you have to shoot to win tomorrow?"
Golfer: "The rest of the field."
What if this wasn't a rhetorical question?
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
We probably are, but it is not out of the realm of possibilities that we win the W/C. Sure beats watching Josh Hall and Brian Reith pitching this time of year and being 18 gb.
Founder and Ruling Elite of the Derrick Robinson Fan Club. Limited amount of memberships available.
It is still quite a close race in the wild card. We can't afford to lose too many games, but the rest of the teams in that race are in the exact same position.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
Sadly, there is no "unless". It's over.
Help stamp out, eliminate, and do away with redundancy.
It was over when the Reds headed to Milwaukee at 54-48 on July 28th and proceded to lose early and often after winning the first game. In fact, that's the watermark as they have gone 18-26 since. Death rattle stuff.
Before the AS break, the Reds were scoring 5.11 runs per game and allowing 5.33, a difference of 0.22 runs. They were one game over .500. Since the AS break they have averaged 4.35 runs and allowed an average of 4.79, a difference of 0.44 runs. In both cases the opponents were scoring more than us, but we've lost 0.76 runs per game of offensive production while reducing the runs allowed by 0.54. Pretty much a draw, but the bad part is if we could have maintained our 5.11 scoring average while holding the opposition to 4.79, we would have a runs per game advantage of 0.32 runs.
I'll leave it up to you to decide where the loss of runs came from, but (and beating a dead horse here) you might find it in Washington. A lot of pitchers have contiributed to allowing the opposition to score less runs, but no one from Washington can claim that.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
But, the end started on June 28th. No doubt about that.

If I had to pick a moment when the wheels came off, it was that looooong game in Philly. EZ took two losses in less than 24 hours and hasn't seen daylight since. His demise hurt. For a stretch Elizardo was the bridge between Harang/Arroyo and the roster fodder pulling up the end of the rotation.
But no matter the parsing, its a .500 team, pre- and post-. We were running against the odds the whole way. I'm still curious as to why this team doesn't score more runs.

We won 2 of 3 in that series.
Lizard did not lose two games in less than 24 hours because we came back in the game after Michalak held the Phillies for several innings. In fact, at the time, the moxy of the team and accolades of "never quitting" were being bandied about. Now, falling on hard times, they are just a bunch of loafing losers playing out the string. This was also post-trade and runs were still being scored at a similar rate as before the trade. It sure doesn't take long to start re-writing history.
The offense is not scoring because all but Rich Aurilia have been slumping for an extended period of time. Isn't it just possible that Lopez and Kearns would also be going through the team-wide funk? Of course, Griffey's putrid second half and Dunn slumping for over a month have little to do with the offense tanking. It's simply because we traded two streaky hitters in their own right.

| What Does PAID Mean to You ?
Early in sobriety I was told that PAID means: P = Pitiful A = And I = Incomprehensible D = Demoralization So alcoholics pay this price through the years as their illness destroys their lives to the point that they seek help. When they arrive in AA they are told "There are no dues or fees for AA membership." So alky's have a pre-paid ticket to Alcoholics Anonymous membership. What more could any drunk ask for ? |

"MOST OF US have been unwilling to admit we were real alcoholics. No person likes to think he is bodily and mentally different from his fellows. Therefore, it is not surprising that our drinking careers have been characterized by countless vain attempts to prove we could drink like other people. The idea that somehow, someday he will control and enjoy his drinking is the great obsession of every abnormal drinker. The persistence of this illusion is astonishing. Many pursue it into the gates of insanity or death. We learned that we had to fully concede to our innermost selves that we were alcoholics. This is the first step in recovery. The delusion that we are like other people, or presently may be, has to be smashed. We alcoholics are men and women who have lost the ability to control our drinking. We know that no real alcoholic ever recovers control. All of us felt at times that we were regaining control, but such intervalsusually briefwere inevitably followed by still less control, which led in time to pitiful and incomprehensible demoralization. We are convinced to a man that alcoholics of our type are in the grip of a progressive illness. Over any considerable period we get worse, never better."

A New Order
On board the terrace of my despondency
I beheld the strength of the weak made manifest,
As the weakness of the strong ebbs.
I saw the lame limp without feet,
The speechless, express'd the vision of the blind.
With the voice of anguish they cry,
Cried, how shall we!
I beheld a flicker in the shadow that embraced the blind,
Illuminated by a Will, Courage and Believe.
Out of one man's sacrifice - a new world was born.
Then they dance,
Danc'd to a new song sang by the mute.
In that moment of triumph,
Their separateness was unified.
A new strength was born.
Instructed by the wisdom of the ignorance,
The world was ablaze.
Then the childless gave suck,
The dumbness of the dumb obliterated,
While the darkness of the unsighted was lighten'd
And the feebleness of the lame faded into the night.
They established precedence.
They broke loose,
Out of the unwalled prison that incarcerated their minds.
They limp'd forth, like tiny flames from the furnace of affliction.
They crawl'd, out of the dreary depth of despair
To the lighte'd height of hope.
In unison the boundaries they broke.
And they abandon'd their affairs with the past,
To concentrate on the rendezvous with the morrow.
A new order was born.

The Chief says never toSubmitted by Guest666 (not verified) on Tue, 04/14/2009 - 5:02pm.
The Chief says never to leave a gun in your car. My wife and I are both concealed license holders, but there are many (too many) places that I am not allowed to carry my firearm. I can't take it into any government building, any bank, a state park, any establishment that serves alcohol............just what am I supposed to do with it when I go into a restaurant that serves beer? Don't say to leave it at home....this is why I got the permit in the first place, to carry my handgun. When I was a US Marine and a city police officer (not in Wilmington), most were glad that I was armed. Now, I am treated like a terrorist, as are all other gun owners.

Letter: Memorial messages
Loretta A. Judy, Naples
Memorial messages
Kudos to Greg Harper for his poignant reflections on Memorial Day.
He recalled what the celebration is really all about; a day to remember that freedom is not free.
Will our freedom be just something else to remember — gone, along with our fallen heroes? The incumbent president's administration is dismantling our freedoms right under our noses. President Barack Obama has a habit of disregarding existing laws, like the Constitution, if they conflict with his goals and visions. If not for space restraints, I could provide a lengthy list.
On March 23, over 65,000 stood up to defend our freedom. Since then, it seems everyone has forgotten that our most important freedom is still in tatters under the mandate that people of faith must violate their consciences to provide insurance coverage for abortion-inducing drugs. Obama also is pushing to destroy the rights of medical workers who choose not to be involved in procedures that violate their faith or their conscience.
And who is speaking for the private employers, who are not part of a church, who don't want to include or pay for this insurance? They have no voice and no choice.
We all need to defend our most precious freedom; the freedom to practice our respective faiths without government interference. Don't let our freedoms become something else to remember next year on Memorial Day.
