Omg!!! What a beautiful necklace... The colors are amazing.. What a unique jewlery to have.. And it comes with the most cute handmade lil box with a leaf on it... Very thoughtfull... I cant wait to wear it this summer and see what others think of it...
i can't believe i only paid $$$ for this necklace!! it's beautiful!!! the workmanship if absolutly exquisite. i bought the turquiose and the amythest and i wish i bought more!!! am now looking into the earrings to match.
What a beautiful necklace! The stone selection and the way they composed into one piece is fascenating. It looks very rich. It looks terrific with any style. I wore it with jeans for fun. I wore it with dress clothes to work. And everywhere I got compliments.
It was a perfect gift for someone you don't know what to buy!
This necklace was exactly as described. Beautiful and stylish. Love it!
It looks pretty original, uncommon. Yet, I can wear it casually. I love it.
This is such a very special necklace, that I ordered two. This necklace looks heavy but is extremely comfortable to wear. The turquoise look that is so in today makes this necklace a must have.
What a nice necklace and a great price. Highly recommend and know it will be a favorite of yours like me.
great size and stone are very attractive.
Wow! This picture doesn't do the piece justice. What a GREAT look! I bought this for my daughter in law.....but.....I'm going to hate parting with it! LOL Showed it to her and she was blown away with the look, the weight, the drama of the piece. I would definitely recommend this necklace to anyone. Great with jeans or dressy outfits. Whatta find! The earrings were a direct match and really looked nice with the necklace......but....NOT the bracelet.

The Pursuit of Uncomplicated ObedienceThe final court of whether or not you are becoming like Jesus is not attending another church program but how you act in daily life. Christlike aims to change outward actions by inner spiritual growth through uncomplicated obedience in our relationship with God. Author Bill Hull uses his experience as a pastor and his background in disciplemaking and spiritual formation to show how Scripture
The Complete Book of Discipleship
On Being and Making Followers of ChristWell organized and readily accessible, The Complete Book of Discipleship pulls together into one convenient, comprehensive volume relevant topics to discipleship such as:Spiritual growthTransformationSpiritual disciplinesDiscipleship in the local church and beyondIndexed for easy reference
A Practical Theology of Discipleship and Spiritual FormationFor six years, spiritual formation leaders such as Dallas Willard, Bruce Demarest, and Bill Hull came together with other colleagues to create a collection of wisdom and honest personal revelation in the areas of discipleship and spiritual formation. The result is The Kingdom Life, a book that offers a fresh approach to the spiritual disciplines through a three-pronged focus on transformation,
Thomas doubted. Peter denied. Matthew had a shady past. And most of Jesus' disciples had trouble understanding his true message and mission at times. How did Jesus take lowly fishermen and tax collectors and turn them into some of the most influential men that ever lived? And how can modern church leaders empower regular church members to meet their potential as servants of God? In Jesus Christ,
Leading Others on the Journey of FaithChrist commanded the church to make disciples, to produce people who love and obey God, bear fruit, and live with joy. The crisis at the heart of the church is that we often pay lip service to making disciples, but we seldom put much effort behind doing it. For the pastor who is ready to put words into action, The Disciple-Making Pastor offers the inspiration and practical know-how to do so. Bill
Straight Talk on Spiritual Power
Experiencing the Fullness of God in the ChurchEvery church wants to experience the fullness of God, but many feel discomfort and confusion when the question of gifts of the Holy Spirit is raised. What does it mean to move in the power of the Holy Spirit? Isn't the issue of gifts of the Spirit divisive to evangelical churches? Straight Talk on Spiritual Power begins with Bill Hull's own theological journey from being a student at a charismatic
Exploring a Faith that Embraces DiscipleshipMany churches harbor harried congregations merely going through the motions--sleepwalking saints who fail to experience transformed living. Many are unable and unwilling to share the gospel, convinced that it's not their "gift."True disciples do more than the minimum, explains Hull. They choose the life and commit to bringing Jesus to the lost. They live out their beliefs and walk the walk.
Pursuing the full kingdom potential of your congregationBullard offers not just another process for congregational redevelopment. He learns from the past to take congregations on a journey that is open-ended, custom-made, and locally-owned. His focus is on capacity building in each congregation, calling for a narrative approach to futuring in the life of congregations that responds to the new thing God is seeking to do in and through members of the
Understanding and Responding to CallingThe concept of calling is integral to who we are as human beings. From a Christian perspective, a sense of calling connects us to God and provides a center around which our lives can begin to make sense and have meaning. In this guide to understanding and responding to a calling, author Dr. Joe Collins provides both a clear picture of calling and various tools to help laypeople and clergy to
This resource for individual and group study explores what it means to be a deacon in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

Just be indipendent! Go everywhere your crazy head wants to go and follow the way your soul shows to you.
Then, when you get lost, open your eyes and you 'll be in another wonderful world. I'm travelling!!!!
And I feel happy to live!
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about,don't deal in lies,
Or being hated,don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good,nor talk too wise;
If you can dream- and not make dreams your master;
If you can think- and not make toughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to,broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose,and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you,but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And-which is more important- you'll be a Man,my son!
The fact is that my german grand-mother's surname was spring and,by mistake, i got it instead of the one of my father (mistake due to a misunderstanding when i was born in caracas....).
So,having that surname that in italian sounds pretty funny, many of my friends started to call me "spring" and i got used to that...so this is the explanation.
Now hope you'll like my pages and i'll be more than happy to hear from all of you!!!:)

Since people share recipes here....
I am looking for a marinade for grilled chicken. I have one using soy sauce so I am not interested in one like that.
What is your favoritd grilled chicken recipe. TIA
Several grilled chicken marinades on pinterest. The one with lime sounds good!
Here is a link that might be useful: Grilled Chicken Marinade
Here is one I have used for Cornish hens for many years. I don't see why it wouldn't be as good on chicken.
Honey-Lime Game Hens
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 Tbs vegetable oil
2 Tbs honey
2 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme or 1 tsp (5 ml) dried
1 tsp finely chopped lime zest
1 tsp paprika
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2-3 Cornish game hens, halved, backbone removed
Whisk together all ingredients except the game hens in a mixing bowl and transfer to large resealable plastic bag. Add the halved game hens and turn the bag to distribute the marinade. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, turning occasionally. Remove the game hens and discard
the marinade. Grill over indirect heat, bone side down, until the juices run clear and the meat is no longer pink at the bone, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serves 4 to 6.
I like a little teriyaki added to perk it up otherwise prefer just a rub. I like the skin to be crisp so I don't douse it with sauces and stuff while cooking. You should avoid sugary sauces while grilling chicken anyway. The sugar burns long before the chicken is cooked. Season it, cook it up and add the sauce at the end.
Use your favorite seasonings - a basic rib rub works fine, or use spices you like and make your own.
Other variations of the ketchup and cola are using chili sauce, BBQ sauce, Dr. Pepper, beer, root beer, etc. You can also doctor it up a bit for better flavor. Add your favorite seasonings, Worcestershire sauce, Teriyaki, soy, etc.
For something really different there's the mayo based saucing. Some just use a basic coleslaw dressing. I've played with a variation and have one that's pretty good and has a little zing.
Cynic's Variation of White Trash BBQ Sauce
2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup apple juice
2 tsps (+/-) prepared horseradish
2 tsps fresh ground black pepper (see notes)
2 tsps fresh lemon or lime juice
1 tsp kosher (or sea) salt (see notes)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper or Chili powder
Combine all ingredients in a very large bowl. Season your chicken and grill or bbq it as you like. When it's done, take that hot, smokey chicken and dunk it in the bowl of white sauce, turning to coat. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
For me it was vastly superior to the slaw dressings but still pretty boring so I tweaked it with some lemon pepper, bacon salt (cutting the other salt), Italian Seasoning, smoked paprika, cumin, celery seed, garlic powder and onion powder and it was much better.
As with any condiment it's subject to taste so add, subtract, multiply and divide to your preference! Since it's essentially a slaw dressing as I said, I used my slaw dressing for ideas to perk it up.
The ketchup/coke is basic, and the way I prefer it. TO each his/her own. I've shared this at the Kt for many a year.
Alabama is known for it white bbq sauce made famous by Bob Gibson's in Decatur, Alabama.
It's served on most bbq tables in a simple coke like bottle with a screw top.
This is the one that's always on my table when I serve pulled pork.
Alabama White Barbecue Sauce has a tangy flavor that is a great addition to grilled foods.
Makes about 3 1/2 cups
2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup apple cider vinegar **I have used white wine vinegar
2 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
Mix ingredients together and refrigerate for at least 8 hours before using. Brush lightly over chicken, turkey or pork during the last few minutes of grilling.
This barbecue sauce is also great as a dipping sauce so set some aside before you start grilling to serve on the table.
Miss Myra's is a very popular bbq place here, and I love her smoked chicken and use the white bbq sauce for dipping the meat in. good good good
Miss Myra's uses horseradish in her white bbq sauce
Our favorite (I learned about on the GW) is Dale's Steak Seasoning - just enough to season both sides when turned while marinating for at least 1/2 hour. Gluten-free and I use it on chicken, steak, salmon, and pork when grilling. It does contain soy sauce, but isn't as strong as teryaki so doesn't overwhelm :-)

4°c A few clouds
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Posted: 05/17/2013 1:00 AM | Comments: 0
Acouple of southern boys take refuge from the stresses of their fraught family lives by seeking adventure on the Mississippi River.
Sound familiar?
Writer-director Jeff Nichols, whose excellent body of work includes Shotgun Stories and Take Shelter, may deliberately be invoking the excellent body of work by Mark Twain, specifically Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer.
But Nichols approaches the premise with an open heart and without satiric agenda. This is a coming-of-age story in the classic mould, wherein a boy attempts to negotiate his road to manhood and finds his path impeded by love, confusion and very real peril.
Ellis (Tye Sheridan, a superb young actor) lives in a houseboat off the river and intuits trouble a-brewing between his stoic redneck dad (Ray McKinnon) and his more gentle mom (Sarah Paulson), a woman who aspires to a better life.
An early morning sojourn with his pal Neckbone (Jacob Lofland) takes these Arkansas boys to a lonely island on the river where a boat sits nestled in the branches of a tree, a forgotten casualty of a flood. The boys want to lay finders rights to it but the craft has already been claimed by a scraggly sun-dried fugitive called Mud (Matthew McConaughey).
A tentative relationship develops between the boys and the man and Mud lets slip that he is waiting for the love of his life, Juniper (Reese Witherspoon), a white trash goddess who prowls the local Piggly-Wiggly in Daisy Duke shorts. Juniper is afflicted with tragic judgment when it comes to men. One of her boyfriends injured her. Mud confesses he tracked the man down and exacted a rash retribution. Now, he is not only sought by state police but his victim's wealthy family, folks who can afford to hire a small army of bounty hunters.
Ellis, enduring his own painful first courtship, sees something redeeming and romantic in Mud's mission and acts as a go-between, even as he and Neckbone engage in a scavenger hunt for parts that will make the boat seaworthy.
As with his two previous features, Nichols demonstrates a kind of mastery of peeling back the stoic veneer of rural American masculinity to reveal some of the raw anguish beneath. (Ironically, Nichol's most potent agent in that mission, actor Michael Shannon, is here cast in the comparatively sunny role of Neckbone's custodian uncle Galen, perhaps the only character in the movie not afflicted by troubled relationships.) The fact that his hero here is just 14 years old suggests a sense of hope that his past films lack.
Nichols happens to be brilliant with actors, which also include (on the older side of the spectrum) Sam Shepard as Ellis's enigmatic river neighbour and Joe Don Baker as Mud's vengeful nemesis.
Once again, this is a film that demands a reconsideration of Matthew McConaughey, once a glib studmuffin in a series of substandard rom-coms and action movies, now emerging as an unexpected character actor of some ability. (See also: Killer Joe.)
A few years ago, a movie pairing Reese Witherspoon and Matthew McConaughey as star-crossed lovers would have set off warning bells in the heart of any discriminating moviegoer.
Here, it happens to pay off in one of the better films of the year thus far.
Other voices
Jeff Nichols' script for Mud is a lot like the Mississippi River that serves as a backdrop for the tale of unrequited love. There are times it is big and powerful and other times when it becomes so serene it's easy to forget the depths that hide below.
SEmD Rick Bentley, Fresno Bee
One of the most creatively rich and emotionally rewarding movies to come along this year.
-- Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
Mud is steeped in a sense of place, and the people inhabiting it. Southern. Superstitious. Suspenseful. Sublime.
-- Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Successful deer hunters set another record this past season, harvesting 124,735 deer. The total surpassed the 2003 record of 116,540 and the total of 115,082 during the 2002 season.
Magistrates on the Taylor County Fiscal Court were divided Monday night over a resolution to support changes to the gas tax.
The tie was broken by a vote by Taylor County Judge/Executive Eddie Rogers, who voted in favor of the resolution.
"What we voted tonight was to stabilize what the tax would be. It would be a ceiling, basically, to where that it stays at," Rogers said. "It's really in the legislators' hands, whatever comes out of this … but we're in support of whatever the legislators do."
Brenda Brockman's mother-in-law has been a resident at Jackson Towers, an assisted living facility. That facility, she said, is likely one of many that is or has been infested with bedbugs.
"Everything they've had their whole lives they've had to throw away," said Brockman. She said she's called, and has been called by, people at the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

This past Tuesday, Campbellsville citizens filed in to the Taylor County Public Library to give blood to the first community blood drive provided by the Kentucky Blood Center.
The center, which provides blood to hospitals around the state, has done previous drives at various businesses and schools in the community, but they are now branching out in order to reach a wider portion of the population in Campbellsville and Taylor County.
Campbellsville Police, in conjunction with the Kentucky State Police DESI West unit, made a drug arrest after serving a search warrant at 510 Jackson Street Tuesday afternoon.
Andrew Edwards, 28, was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine, possession of a controlled substance 3rd degree and possession of paraphernalia.

Winterizing questions
Do you winterize clematis? I have been putting pinestraw on/around them for the winter. My clematis live but certainly are not as pretty/healthy looking as the ones I see on this forum!! So thought I would ask what the experts do so maybe just maybe my clems will do better next year.. How do you winterize? When do you winterize? I also have read that mulch shouldn't be put against the stems, so have I been doing wrong by putting the pinestraw over the clematis?
Thanks...my self-confidence has vanished as I prep my roses, clematis and Gerbera daisies for winter. Trying to guess the weather trend I think hurt me last year. I think I mulched my roses to early. Our weather will be cool/cold at night and then rather high in the daytime. So how do you decide which is worse for your plants to be ...too cold or too hot for the season! How do I know when the right time to mulch is?
Thanks for any guidance!!
Hi Gayle. I use only bark mulch up here in Massachusetts at about 3-4 inches depth year-round. You shouldn't need too much winter protection there, other than some bark mulch which insulates and helps to keep the moisture level constant in summer. Clematis love bark mulch ! Clematis are very hearty during most winters up here so you needn't worry much down in zone 8. The best advice I can give to you is to water, water and water again during your hot summers.
Fertilizing is important, too. I use Espoma 'Rose Tone' organic granular fertilizer in early spring, before new growth begins, then again after the bloom. Any good granular rose food should do well for you, since clematis and roses are similar in all their needs. A shovelful of manure or two on occasion is also a nice boost to the soil, but I don't like to touch the vines , so I spread it around the root base.
Prune your clematis in late winter before new growth actively begins according to each pruning group. If you do these things and water well in your hot, dry summer you should have gorgeous clematis. I'm sure others will give their own good advice as well, but the above is just what I personally do and it has been the best method I've found yet for a strong, lush clematis bloom year after year.
Good luck.
Gayle, I do nothing as far as winterizing my clematis in my NC garden. I do use a wide variety of mulches year round including grass clippings, hardwood mulch, and pine straw. I have always mulched right up to the stems with the mulches I use and never had any problems with rot or anything similar. Mulch is mulch to clematis and in our hot summer weather, any is welcomed by the clematis. As Suzy said, water is critical during our hot summer months. I can't tell you how many times I dragged the hose around the yard this summer. As for fertilizer, I use whatever is convenient be it granular time released synthetic fertilizer, compost, compost tea, alfalfa pellets, grass clippings, etc. Consistent moisture, mulch, and fertilizer of any sort as long as it is not a direct release type and as long as it doesn't contain a high percentage of nitrogen is what is key to getting your clematis to grow strong and produce blooms. Good luck!
Gayle, one other thing I forgot to mention earlier. I see from your zone 8 information that you are most probably located in the eastern part of the state and most likely have a much sandier soil than I do. If your soil is sandy and drains well, you need to make sure you incorporate a lot of organic material in your soil when you plant your clematis and continue to add it to the top of the planting area on at least a yearly if not biyearly basis. Sandy soils in the eastern part of the state drain rather quickly and don't hold water. The result is that you have to water much more frequently and your clematis will resent the soil drying out. With the added heat in your part of the state, this will only exacerbate your sandy soil situation.
There are also things you can do to make your clematis bloom better and hold up longer in your area. Plant clematis on the eastern and northern side of your home to give them relief from the hot afternoon sun. Those clematis you do plant in full sun should be in the group III category and the viticellas are ones that would do best in that westerly situation. Once again, good luck!
Thank you for your info! I do add lots of compost, manure etc to build up our soil. We are approx 60 miles from the coast but still have clay and sand! I remove the soil in most new beds and use a portion to mix with the compost, new topsoil, manure etc to refill! I definitely need to add more Group III! Probably the thing that I need to do a better job of is consistent watering! I do feed but need to water more frequently! Thanks again!

Friends, Family Remember Fallen Missouri Firefighter
In this photo provided by the Maplewood Fire Department in Maplewood, Mo., 22-year-old paramedic/firefighter Ryan Hummert is seen in an undated photo. Hummert was shot to death as he exited a Maplewood fire truck after it arrived on the scene of a car fire which resulted in a standoff with a gunman.
Photo credit: (AP Photo/Maplewood Fire Department)
When Ryan A. Hummert set out to be a firefighter, his friends and family alike knew there would be some risk.
But that knowledge did little to prepare them for the way he died Monday.
The 22-year-old rookie firefighter -- on the job for a little over three months -- was ambushed and shot while battling what appeared to be a routine truck fire in Maplewood. Also injured were two police officers who responded to the scene, where an armed man shot them in the 7400 block of Zephyr Place.
News of Hummert's death spread quickly across the region, bringing dozens of friends, former classmates and teammates to gather at Hummert's neighbor's house in unincorporated St. Louis County near Fenton. Hummert lived with his parents.
Throughout the day, they streamed in and out of the house, paying their respects. Reluctant to talk about their loss, they asked to be left in peace.
"We all just lost a brother," said one woman outside the home, who asked not to be identified.
Hummert went to work for the city of Maplewood in August after he graduated from paramedic school. He embarked on his firefighting career earlier this year when he secured a spot in the 74th class of the St. Louis County Fire Academy. He graduated in March and joined the Maplewood Fire Department.
Wherever he went, the 2004 graduate of Rockwood Summit High School left a trail of friends.
On the social networking site Facebook, a page was set up to honor the fallen firefighter. By 6 p.m., more than 320 people -- a mix of friends and complete strangers -- had joined the group, named "Rest in peace Ryan Hummert-Maplewood Firefighter Line of duty death."
"Ryan was a leader, a standup guy, someone we all looked up to and will never be forgotten," wrote one of his friends.
It was the same story in high school, where coaches and teammates recall Hummert as a strong competitor and solid student.
"He was just one of those lovable guys," said Justin Brady, a sophomore during Hummert's senior year, when he was a football team captain.
The last time Brady saw Hummert was around the first of the year, when a bunch of old friends and classmates got together. Brady remembers Hummert talking about getting into the Fire Academy.
"It was something he was really excited about doing," Brady said.
It was an attitude that carried over into his class, where he made an impression on chief instructor Dave Schmalzer.
"He had a passion," Schmalzer said. "All the young kids do."
Like so many other members of the community, Schmalzer spent a good portion of Monday wondering about what happened and what went wrong. In the end, he said, he doesn't believe the academy could have done anything more to prepare the rookie firefighter.
"We teach safety as an attitude," he said. "We teach them a lot of things. But something like this, there's just no way."
That Hummert would have gone to work for the city of Maplewood is not surprising. His father is former Mayor Andrew Hummert, who served from 1983 to 1993 before being forced from office by term limits. But his relationship to the city has continued to this day.
Marty Corcoran, longtime Maplewood city manager, is a close friend of the family's. Last weekend, he went on a float trip with the elder Hummert. Choking back tears, he described having to tell the firefighter's father this morning that his son was dead.
A neighbor of nine years, David Schweiss, went to Hummert's home on Indian Summer Drive and placed a line of American flags alongside the side of the house and then put three flags in front of his home.
"I just wanted to put the flags up to show respect for the family," said Schweiss, whose two children went to school with Hummert. "I felt heartbroken and sad for his family. He's a firefighter, and he did a lot for our country."
At Maplewood City Hall, residents began dropping off flowers for a makeshift memorial there. Firefighters and public works employees hung black and purple bunting outside the firehouse and City Hall.
Among them was Cindy Manestar, wife of a Brentwood police officer. "It scares me; it can happen any time," she said. "It just really hurts my heart."
Manestar laid a bouquet of pink, white and yellow flowers at the base of the flagpole in front of City Hall. The City Hall flag was placed at half-staff about 10 a.m. -- just before Fire Chief Terry Merrell tearfully announced Hummert's death.

Reading Scripture in the Messianic Community
I've also just had word that my Macbride Sermon (one of Oxford's so-called University Sermons) has been published in Expository Times. The sermon must be on 'the application of messianic prophecy' and it posed an interesting challenge. As ever, I'm happy to send an offprint to anyone without access to the journal.
The Paratextual Invention of the Term 'Apostolic Fathers'
When did the 'apostolic fathers' become a thing? There's been a minor debate about that question, and I've managed to throw my two cents into the discussion about Cotelier's role in that affair – a debate that Ehrman calls 'rather pointless'. It's in a short note just released in advance access form in JTS called 'The Paratextual Invention of the Term "Apostolic Fathers"'.
The abstract reads:
The origin of the term 'apostolic fathers' has been the subject of some debate. This note examines the extant bindings of Cotelier's 1672 edition of the collection to suggest that the term first arises as a paratextual shortening of his title by readers, booksellers, and librarians, and from there enters into common usage.
If anyone would like to read a copy but doesn't have access to JTS, please drop me an email and I'll be happy to share with you a PDF offprint.

Research Intensity Rankings in Theology & Religious Studies
Posted by David Lincicum in Uncategorized on December 19, 2014
As all academics in the UK are aware, the REF results were published this week. This is a major research assessment exercise conducted by the research funding bodies and the UK government periodically, that takes into account research quality, but also newer measures like environment and impact. The results were analysed almost immediately by numerous outlets, but the THES rankings and analysis are likely to prove influential steers to how the data is publicly perceived, however that data might eventually translate into funding decisions.
In Theology & Religious Studies, there were some expected results – Durham did very well once more – and some surprises. Among the latter, I was surprised to see Oxford rank 12th in the THES ranking. One reason I was surprised is that we had the largest submission of FTE staff submitted (33) with a relatively strong research score overall, though we did less well on impact and environment, issues we'll no doubt ponder over the course of the next REF cycle.
But I was also curious to see this article about research intensity. Some departments choose to submit only a portion of their staff with very strong research profiles, while other departments submit virtually all of their core people. I was curious as to how the rankings might look if we tested for 'research intensity', that is, a THES-like GPA expressed as the ratio of eligible to submitted staff multiplied by research output scores. So I thought I would do a back-of-the-envelope calculation to see how it would look for Theology & Religious Studies.
In the interests of 'showing my work', these are the numbers from which I worked. Taking the THES rankings for each university (expressed parenthetically in the list that follows after institutional name), I noted the number of FTE staff submitted, followed by the number eligible (the latter using figures from HESA, the Higher Education Statistics Agency). Expressing this ratio as a percentage, I then multiplied this by the THES Output GPA (the blue second column in the THES table), and expressed this as a new GPA for research intensity, for lack of a better term.
- Durham (1), FTE submitted: 25; eligible: 27; percentage submitted: 93% x Output GPA, 3.11 = 2.89
- Birmingham (2); 9; eligible: 15; 60% x 3.15 = 1.89

- KCL (9); 26; eligible: 36; 72% x 2.84 = 2.04
- Cardiff (10); 9; eligible: 13; 69% x 3.05 = 2.10
- Soas (11); 14; eligible: 19; 74% x 3.02 = 2.23
- Oxford (12); 33; eligible: 32; 103% x 3.06 = 3.15
- Nottingham (=13); 16; eligible: 16; 100% x 2.97 = 2.97
- Exeter (=13); 11; eligible: 12; 92% x 2.90 = 2.67
- Manchester (15); 15; eligible: 17; 88% x 2.71 = 2.38
- St Andrews (=16); 14; eligible: 20; 70% x 2.90 = 2.03
- Sheffield (=16); 4; eligible: 6; 67% x 3.00 = 2.01
- Aberdeen (18); 19; eligible: 20; 95% x 2.54 = 2.41
- Bristol (19); 9; eligible: 8; 113% x 2.91 = 3.29
- Heythrop (20); 16; eligible: 40; 40% x 2.54 = 1.01

I'll be the first to admit that this system isn't without problems. As HESA notes on their site, Oxford and Cambridge have the added complication of eligible academics with non-university (i.e., college-only) posts, and there is the further problem that in two cases (Bristol and Wales Trinity Saint David) small departments submitted one more FTE than apparently expected, and so their percentages go way up. And of course the accuracy of HESA's figures for FTE staff could certainly be disputed. Finally, it's also worth noting that the REF is not simply measuring research outputs, and so this would only affect one portion of the exercise's concern.
Nevertheless, even bearing in mind all those caveats, I think looking at the data in this way still does yield some interesting results.
UPDATE: In light of some pushback I've had, I'd like to clarify that for me these results serve to underscore the artificiality of the whole REF process, and the problematic way in which one interpretation of the data is used against other departments in publicity wars, etc. In my view, the REF problematically limits the types of projects people pursue, causes conflict in the small TRS sector, and places unnecessary strain on already thin resources. I understand that research councils wish to find ways of exercising accountability for their funding, but the whole sector would be better served by less heavy-handed methods and, in general, by much more extensive investment in research – not least in the neglected humanities – by the government as a whole.
Surveys of NT Introduction in Theologische Rundschau
Posted by David Lincicum in Uncategorized on November 10, 2014
As I was preparing a recent contribution on F C Baur and the theological significance of NT Introduction, I found extremely valuable a series of review articles in Theologische Rundschau over the past hundred years or so: Rudolf Bultmann, "Neues Testament. Einleitung," TRu 17 (1914): 41-46; 79-90; 125-30; Philipp Vielhauer, "Einleitung in das Neue Testament," TRu 31 (1966): 97–155; 193–231; 42 (1977): 175-210; Jürgen Roloff, "Neutestamentliche Einleitungswissenschaft: Tendenzen und Entwicklungen," TRu 55 (1990): 385–423; Friedrich Wilhelm Horn, "Einleitung in das Neue Testament. Tendenzen und Entwicklungen," TRu 68 (2003): 45–79; 129–50.
I'm now delighted to learn, via Torsten Jantsch, of the most recent article in this distinguished line of contributions: Friedrich Wilhelm Horn, "Einleitung in das Neue Testament 2001-2011," TRu 79 no. 3 (2014): 294–327. A very useful way to stay on top of current trends and chart the changing face of the discipline.
Johannes Weiss, 1863–1914
Posted by David Lincicum in Uncategorized on November 2, 2014
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the death of Johannes Weiss (13 Dec 1863 – 24 Aug 1914). The son of the noted NT scholar Bernhard Weiss and the son-in-law of the liberal theologian Albrecht Ritschl, Weiss produced an impressive number of publications over a wide range of topics, before he died just short of his 51st birthday.
The conservative American Presbyterian J. Gresham Machen met Weiss while studying in Marburg (where Weiss then was, before moving to Heidelberg). At first Machen was not terribly impressed and said so in his letters home: "J. Weiss I have only heard one morning. He doesn't seem to be gifted with the imagination of Jülicher, but then not everybody can be a genius". Later he wrote: "As to J. Weiss, the chief professor of New Testament, perhaps his claim to renown lies chiefly in the fact that he is the son of Bernard Weiss of Berlin – one of the greatest New Testament scholars and conservative at least in the fundamental point of the miraculous (& in a great deal else too). J. Weiss is, however, anything but conservative…..But after all, I cannot think him to be at all a scholar of the first rank, nor do I think he will ever be." Several years on, Machen revised his opinion and said "I thought of him rather as a popularizer than as a profound scholar. I have since then come to see that this impression was totally incorrect. His Urchristentum and above all his amazing, rich and learned commentary on 1 Corinthians have made me repent of my youthful injustice to one of the ablest of modern New Testament scholars" (see Dennison 2009).
Weiss's reputation was made on his brief study of Jesus's Proclamation of the Kingdom of God, first published in 1892 (the basis of the English translation) and later revised in 1900. In this work, intentionally held back until his father-in-law Ritschl had died, Weiss opposed the liberal Ritschlian tradition of seeing the kingdom of God as something achieved within history by human cooperation under God. Rather, he placed a firm emphasis on the eschatological element of the kingdom,writing, "as Jesus conceived of it, the Kingdom of God is a radically superworldly entity which stands in diametric opposition to this world. This is to say that there can be no talk of an innerworldly development of the Kingdom of God in the mind of Jesus! On the basis of this finding, it seems to follow that the dogmatic religious-ethical application of this idea in more recent theology, an application which has completely stripped away the original eschatological-apocalyptic meaning of the idea, is unjustified. Indeed, one proceeds in an only apparently biblical manner if one uses the term in a sense different from that of Jesus" (Jesus' Proclamation, 114).
If Albert Schweitzer's programme comes to mind, this is no mistake. Schweitzer followed on from Weiss, though faulted the latter for restricting, as he thought, Jesus's eschatological stance to his teaching, and unjustifiably refrained from extending this to his action as well. Since Schweitzer's 1906 work was translated into English very soon after its publication, Schweitzer's take on Weiss determined his Anglophone reception. Mark Chapman notes: "Whatever its shortcomings, in the mediation of an eschatological interpretation of the Gospels to England, Albert Schweitzer's Von Reimarus zu Wrede was of vital importance and Weiss was known, if he was known at all, only second-hand…Thus even though Weiss's historical scholarship, at least in respect of New Testament origins, was far more rigorous and critical than Schweitzer's, it was through Von Reimarus zu Wrede that Weiss's influence in England was mediated" (Chapman 2001: 76).
Eventually, however, Weiss came to be seen as an early voice for the eschatological take on Jesus that has come to dominate at least wide strands of historical Jesus work. Writing in mid-20th century, N. Perrin contended that "In retrospect one can see that the whole modern interpretation of Jesus and his teaching stems from these sixty-five pages" (N. Perrin, with reference to the first edition of Jesus' Proclamation of the Kingdom of God, as cited in the ET). This book is still worth reading today, and offers a punchy presentation of Jesus's eschatological preaching, even if it remains a product of its time.
Why not pay homage to the great scholar by reading some of his work? I offer here a brief bibliography of works by and about Weiss. Tolle lege!

Philo's Library
Posted by David Lincicum in Uncategorized on October 27, 2014
I've just heard that the 2014 Studia Philonica Annual has been published. This contains my essay attempting to assess the books to which Philo had access in writing his work. It's a bit speculative but was also a fun piece to write. SBL has an 18-month embargo period after publication before one can self-archive, but if anyone is working in the field and would like a PDF offprint for private use, please be in touch and I'll be happy to send it along. Here's the abstract:
Philo's explicit engagement with non-biblical authors has been a topic of enduring interest in Philonic scholarship. This has often been pursued by way of studying Philo's use of a particular author or treatise, or his treatment of a philosophical topos. Less often does one encounter discussion of two related questions: how should we characterize the distribution and frequency of his quotations; and how might Philo have accessed those sources that he quotes? Following on from the publication of "A Preliminary Index to Philo's Non-Biblical Citations and Allusions" in a previous issue of The Studia Philonica Annual, this article analyses the data presented there with a view to sketching an answer to those questions. In particular, the present study addresses Philonic source material in a more quantitative and formal manner than in a qualitative and material one, and asks about a means of access that will occasionally require informed historical reconstruction in lieu of direct proof. Nevertheless, considering the variety of ways in which Philo may have encountered ancient texts serves to guard against the anachronism of unreflectively viewing Philo as a modern user of books.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an architectural style that supports service orientation. A service is a business task with an externalized service description that often represents a contract between a provider and a consumer. As organizations adopt SOA and the use of services as the fundamental structuring element of their architecture, they increasingly encounter the need to assess where they are in their migration path and how best to achieve the expected benefit derived from integrating and investing in greater levels of SOA maturity.

Avoiding leaf burn when using Neem Oil?
I sprayed my violets with Neem Oil last evening; I'm trying to keep down an infection of powdery mildew and thrips.
This morning they have blackened burned edges; not so bad that it will kill the plants, but enough to make them unattractive, esp. if I need to repeat the spraying.
I used a premixed Neem Spray (packaged as Garden Safes Fungicide 3), as no where local had the concentrate. I kept the lights off afterwards and I blotted up any excess that pooled on the leaves.
I still got burned edges on the plants I sprayed.
Is there a way to avoid this? Is the prepackaged spray simply too strong for them? It is a 0.9% solution.
Unless my math is incorrect (which is possible I have a wicked sinus cold right now), 1 TBL of Neem per Gallon, which is what I've seen recommended for violets is about a 0.4% solution. It's a little higher in the premixed spray, but not overwhelmingly so.
Hi Sonority.
Since no one else is jummping in i will give my experience. I use neem oil but not regularly. I always put my plants on an old shower curtain and spray them down thoughouly. I use this opportunity to clean my shelves. What I use is called 100% neem oil and I use it stronger than what is called for.
I treat them afterwards like you do , sponge the centers off with paper toweling and keep them out of the light until the next day.
Anyway my plants seem to love the Neem, they look so vibrant and healthy afterwards. I really don't think the neem I have been using would cause the problems you are describing.
I always take the excess and spay all of my plants inside and out. They love it.
Thom in Indy
I only use the concentrated oil, also. If I understand it correctly, not all Neem is processed the same, nor does it contain the same active ingredients. Cold processed - such as Dyna Grow's version - is considered the best as it contains azadirachtin - which they think is one of the more important components of Neem.
I accidentally bought the Green Light version before I learned about this. Then I bought the Dyna Grow. Because I didn't want to waste the Green Light version, though, I decided to mix them together. I use 1/2 t per 12 ounces of water (quarter t each). I spray once a week, at night, after the lights are off. I put them back on the shelves without wiping up anything.
I've not every had anything burn or be harmed. On another forum, just last week, we were talking about this. Some people have had the damage you've had, others have damage only to blooms, but not leaves. Then, others like me have had no damage at all.
Thanks for the post, Sweet Pea.
I purchased the Dynagro version after my initial post, but have not used it yet. The other garden safe one, I've been using on my roses and peonies outside to keep the powdery mildew devil back.
Hopefully it was just something in the Garden Safe version, an additive perhaps, that was causing the damage. I guess I'll know soon enough. :)

crape myrtle
I would like to know if anyone knows of a cold hardy crape myrtle. I have seen them in Abq but I am in los lunas near the river and I think I am in zone 5. I fear it is too cold here for them. I did hear about some that were developed at the university od Kanas that were more cold hardy but have not been able to find any info on them.
I've grown one called 'Tonto' through three winters now, here in Canon City CO/zone 6, but it has died back down to the ground each year. It has a bark mulch around it and I pile some more around the base in the fall to try and keep the ground from freezing too much. It's back up to about two feet tall now and I expect some flowers again in late August/September, pretty late but that's the best it's done so far. We had a mild Fall followed by a relatively abrupt cold snap to minus 12 in early December, so I was just glad to see it come back up this Spring.
There are some others with Native American-sounding names - 'Zuni' and 'Hopi' come to mind, that are supposed to be extra-hardy too. Many times the trick with marginally hardy plants is to baby them through the first couple winters like with the extra bark mulch; then as they become more established they often get a little hardier. I still hope to get mine to the point where the stems near the base will survive, and give me a little bit more substantial shrub-like plant. We'll see...
This page has some great info about Crape Myrtle varieties.
