Wanted: A Teaching Church
from Daniel Hyde May 06, 2015 Category: Articles
The Bible is the Word of God. All Bible-believing evangelical churches affirm this. In historic Protestantism, there is a theology of the Word that not only professes sola Scriptura but also professes the sufficiency of Scripture for all things concerning doctrine, worship, and godliness. What the church of the twenty-first ... Keep Reading
Money, Money, Money
from Gene Edward Veith Aug 24, 2009 Category: Articles
Not long ago, I learned that thirty-eight percent of my retirement account has vanished and that my house is suddenly worth less than the mortgage I am paying on it. I wasn't wasteful or reckless. I didn't vandalize my own home or spend my life's savings on riotous living. But all of a sudden, through no particular fault of my own, a major part of my stash of money (small though it was) simply disappeared. Keep Reading -
Reflecting on Our Episkopos
from R.C. Sproul Aug 23, 2009 Category: Articles
In the New Testament, the Greek word for bishop is the term episkopos. The word episkopos has a rich and fascinating history. It is made up of a prefix epi and a root scopus. We get the English word scope from this root. A scope is an instrument we use to look at things. We have microscopes to look at little things and telescopes to look at things that are far away. The prefix epi serves simply to intensify a root. There is, for example, knowledge (gnosis) and profound knowledge (epignosis). There is desire (thumia) and passionate desire or lust (epithumia).

Money from Nothing
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Aug 19, 2009 Category: Articles
I'm connected to royalty. Granted, it's a rather thin point of union. In less than six degrees, though through enough marriage links that there is no legal tie, I am connected with the king of the tropical island, Yap. Yap is best known not for its sandy beaches nor its pineapple harvest, but for its money. They do not traffic there in sea shells. Neither is their money pure gold. Instead their coinage is great wheel-shaped stones that are hollow in the middle, some as tall as a coconut tree. What can we learn from this about the people of Yap? First, that they are not given to hasty exchanges. It takes a commitment to trade goods and services for stones. As cumbersome as barter can be, it's likely more easy than rolling a ton of rock down to the local bank. Second, while neither thieves nor robbers are apt to make off with the booty, it is likewise likely that there isn't a great deal of foreign trade. That is, not many outside of Yap would want this money. Keep Reading -

The Courage To Be Protestant
from Keith Mathison Aug 17, 2009 Category: Articles
In 1993, David Wells published a book entitled No Place For Truth: Or Whatever Happened to Evangelical Theology? This book was intended as a wake-up call to an evangelical church that had lost its way, having allowed modernity to replace Scripture as the primary shaper of its thought and practice. This book remains one of the most significant Christian books published in the latter half of the twentieth century. If you know a pastor or seminary student who has not read it, buy it as a gift for them. In his follow-up book, God in the Wasteland, Wells outlines some of the things that will have to be done in order to reverse the situation he described in the first book. In his third volume, Losing Our Virtue, Wells looks at the disintegrating moral culture in America and calls the church to face up to this challenge. The fourth volume in this series of books is entitled Above All Earthly Pow'rs: Christ in a Postmodern World. In this powerful book, Wells confronts postmodernism with the gospel of Christ.

Yearning for God
from R.C. Sproul Aug 16, 2009 Category: Articles
In a sense we are fortunate that we cannot see God. If for one second the veil were removed and we caught a brief glimpse of the face of God, we would perish instantly. His effulgence is so brilliant, His glory so dazzling, that in our present corrupted state we could not bear the sight of Him. He remains invisible both as a curse and as an act of protecting grace. As long as we remain infected by sin we are doomed to wander in His world sightless with respect to Him. We may be comforted by His Word and healed by the secret ministration of His Spirit, but we cannot see the supreme beauty of His face. Keep Reading -
Seeing God
from R.C. Sproul Aug 15, 2009 Category: Articles
"Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Prov. 29:18, KJV). We hear this verse quoted frequently in order that we may be inspired and challenged to move with intensity toward a future goal. We applaud the leader who is a visionary, one who can paint a picture of a better future and show us the way to attain it. We are a goal-oriented society. We need a dream, a target to aim for if we are to get our adrenaline moving and our passions stirred. Keep Reading -

A's seek 20th win in 25 games against Yanks
Oakland, off to best start in 21 years, sends Straily vs. Hughes
A's manager Bob Melvin can't help it. At the beginning of every season, he always checks to see where the Yankees are on the schedule.
"You're very aware of where they're going to be on the schedule, of their personnel, of their history," Melvin said. "Certainly in the American League and probably Interleague, there's 29 rivals of the Yankees. Everybody gets up for the Yankees."
The A's have definitely done that in their first four meetings so far this season, going 2-1 against the Yanks back in May and taking a 6-4 victory Tuesday night.
Oakland, winners of 19 of its last 24 games, will look to keep up its winning ways on Wednesday as the clubs square off at O.co Coliseum.
Right-hander Dan Straily (3-2, 4.67) will be on the hill for the A's, ready to get his fourth win of the season after two straight no-decisions. In his last start on Thursday against the White Sox, Straily went seven innings, allowing four runs on six hits. He also struck out three and walked two.
Meanwhile, Phil Hughes (3-4, 4.80 ERA) gets the nod for New York in what has been a rather inconsistent year for the right-hander. While he's tossed seven quality starts this season, Hughes has also been unable to make it past the fifth inning four times.
However, he was in top form on Thursday against the Mariners, holding them to just one run on three hits in seven innings for the win. It marked the fewest hits he's allowed in a start since giving up two on Aug. 19, 2011, at Minnesota.
"I mixed stuff up a lot more," Hughes said of his slider and changeup after the outing. "That made things a lot easier for my fastball … to climb the ladder later in counts."
Yankees: First-rounder Judge takes BP
• New York got a closer look at outfielder Aaron Judge, one of its first-round selections in the First-Year Player Draft, as the slugger taken 32nd overall took batting practice on Tuesday at O.co Coliseum.
"He can hit some homers," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "The ball really jumps off his bat. Strong kid. He can hit line drives out of the ballpark. You think that they're good line drives in the gap, and they just keep going. He was pretty impressive today."
Judge spent time in the clubhouse with the Yankees before Tuesday's series opener and said he is feeling "real confident" about signing with New York.
A's: Cespedes exits with tight hamstring
Oakland left fielder Yoenis Cespedes left Tuesday night's game against the Yankees following just two innings after tweaking his left hamstring on a first-inning groundout.
Cespedes' ground ball up the middle off lefty CC Sabathia was fielded by second baseman Robinson Cano, who made the out at first, where Cespedes winced upon reaching the bag.
He returned to left field for the second inning but was taken out at the start of the third with left hamstring tightness and replaced by Seth Smith.
Worth noting
• Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter is continuing to hit off a tee at the club's complex in Tampa, Fla., as well as fielding ground balls on the grass. He is scheduled to be seen on Thursday by Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, N.C., and could be cleared for full baseball activities after that visit.
• Corbin Cherry, Jose Patino and Vincent Townsend are finalists to represent the A's at this year's All-Star Game as part of "Tribute for Heroes," a national initiative recognizing veterans and military service members.

Growing shares of executives say their countries' economies have improved, but domestic political conflicts weigh heavily as potential threats to growth, according to our latest survey on economic conditions.1 1. The online survey was in the field from March 4 to March 8, 2013, and generated responses from 1,367 executives representing the full range of regions, industries, company sizes, tenures, and functional specialties. This was the week before automatic cuts to government spending went into the effect in the United States, and the week after an inconclusive general election in Italy. To adjust for differences in response rates, the data are weighted by the contribution of each respondent's nation to global GDP. This is especially true in the United States, where negotiations failed to avert the automatic government-spending cuts that went into effect the week before the survey was conducted.
Low consumer demand remains the most frequently cited risk to domestic and global growth over the next year, according to executives. For the first time, though, we asked about political conflicts as a potential threat to growth—and this issue is not far behind. Political conflicts are now the second most cited risk to domestic growth (38 percent of all respondents say so), followed by insufficient support from government policy (cited by 37 percent of respondents).
Compared with the previous two surveys, respondents across regions (including the eurozone) express notably more positive views on current conditions in their own countries and the global economy, while their outlook for the next six months is still more optimistic than not. Looking at the next decade, executives also cite political conflicts most often as a risk to their countries' growth, though responses vary by region.
The shares of executives reporting that current economic conditions in their countries are better now than six months ago have risen since December, while their largely positive outlook on future conditions held steady (Exhibit 1). Those in developed Asia2 2. Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. are particularly positive: the share of respondents there who report improved conditions has nearly tripled since the previous survey. And though the views of executives in the eurozone are still the gloomiest across regions, roughly one-quarter say conditions at home are better, up from 15 percent three months ago. Respondents in India maintain the most positive outlook on future conditions, while those in the eurozone remain the most cautious—or at least uncertain. Executives in the eurozone are almost equally split in expecting conditions will be better, the same, or worse in six months.3 3. In the most recent survey, 34 percent of executives in the eurozone say economic conditions in their countries will be better in the next six months, 32 percent say conditions will stay the same, and 32 percent say they will worsen.
Improving conditions aside, respondents often point to political and governmental forces as risks to growth in their home economies. After sluggish demand, political conflicts are cited most often as a threat to domestic growth over the next year—and most often overall by those in North America (Exhibit 2). Executives also express growing concern about a lack of government policies that support economic and business activity.4 4. In this survey, 37 percent of all respondents cited "insufficient government-policy support" as a potential threat to growth, compared with 28 percent who said so in December 2012. Across regions, the biggest percentage-point jumps in the shares citing a lack of support are in India (53 percent, up from 36 percent in December), developing markets (35 percent, up from 22 percent), and North America (40 percent, up from 28 percent). These responses vary across regions, with executives in North America and India most likely to cite political conflicts and insufficient policy support. Forty percent in India also cite transitions of political leadership as a risk, compared with 18 percent of the global average.
Country-level conditions improve
Political tensions pose risks to growth
Among perceived risks to global growth, political conflicts rank fourth overall, but respondents in North America are more likely than their peers in other regions to cite it. This is not surprising, given that a majority of all executives (58 percent) say pending cuts to government spending in the United States will have a negative impact on growth there in the next three years5 5. On March 1, 2013, the Friday before the survey entered the field, a set of automatic cuts to government spending in the United States (also known as "sequestration" or "the sequester") went into effect. In the weeks leading up to the sequester, US political leaders failed to negotiate a deficit-reduction agreement that would have supplanted the scheduled cuts. ; a slightly larger share of those in the United States (63 percent) say so.
Compared with three months ago, respondents have a more positive view of current global conditions as well: 45 percent say conditions in the world economy have improved, up from 30 percent who said so in December, and nearly half expect conditions will be better in six months (Exhibit 3). Across regions, respondents in developed Asia are now the most positive about current global conditions, although they were among the most negative throughout 2012. In December, 22 percent of respondents in the region said global conditions had improved; now 57 percent say the same.
The results also indicate that some global concerns about the eurozone have eased. Decreasing shares of executives inside and outside the region say it's at least somewhat likely that countries will exit the eurozone in the next year or that the euro will end as the single European currency (Exhibit 4). Respondents in the eurozone express less concern than others that either of these economic shocks will come to bear; they are also less likely than in the previous two surveys to expect an increase in their inflation rate.6 6. In the eurozone, 30 percent of executives expect the inflation rate there will increase over the next six months, down from 46 percent who said so in December and 53 percent in September. By contrast, half of all global respondents expect the inflation rates in their home economies to increase.
Optimism extends to global economy
Eurozone concerns continue to wane
And while sovereign-debt defaults remain the second most-cited threat to global growth over the next year, after demand, just 31 percent cite that risk now—down from 41 percent in December (Exhibit 5). As a threat to domestic growth, sovereign-debt defaults have reached a new low among all respondents and in the eurozone. In June 2012, about one-third of global executives (the second-largest share) and half of those in the eurozone cited sovereign-debt defaults as a risk to their countries' growth; only 8 percent of all respondents and 13 percent in the eurozone say so now.
The threat of debt declines
Still, responses from the region highlight some persistent uncertainties. High unemployment, which the European Commission most recently pegged at 10.8 percent,7 7. See European Commission, "Eurostat," ec.europa.eu/eurostat. remains a concern. Although the share of executives in the eurozone expecting an increase in their countries' unemployment rates is slightly smaller than in December, more than half expect unemployment to rise—compared with roughly one-third of all respondents who say the same about joblessness in their own countries. Since last June, more respondents in the eurozone than in all other regions continue to express concern that low demand will threaten country-level growth over the next year.
On risks to domestic growth in the decade ahead, respondents look to political conflicts most often, followed by low levels of innovation, government regulation, and access to talent. In developed Asia, demand is the most frequently cited risk, while the share of executives there citing the loss of business activity to lower-cost countries has plummeted to 33 percent (down from 60 percent in December). The top perceived risk in North America is domestic political conflicts; in India, it is a lack of government-policy support; and in the eurozone, it is low levels of innovation. In developing markets, equal shares cite political tensions and innovation most often.
When asked about potential shocks to the global economy, the largest share of executives say instability in the Middle East and North Africa is extremely or very likely in the next ten years (63 percent), just ahead of volatile oil prices (61 percent). We asked about instability in Asia for the first time, and the share of executives that say this economic shock is likely to occur over the next decade (30 percent) is much larger than the share expecting it in the year ahead (12 percent).
Emerging-market strength still expected
In addition to the four scenarios for global economic outcomes that we asked about in 2012, we introduced two new scenarios in this survey. As was the case throughout last year, the largest share of executives still select one of the four earlier outcomes—emerging-market leadership and the transition of these markets to domestic-led economies, or "emerging markets lead"—as being most likely over the next decade (Exhibit 6). But the second-largest share rank the new "leveling decade" scenario first, in which emerging markets are resilient through future crises as China struggles to drive domestic demand, and Europe and the United States struggle with slow recovery and long-term debt. Executives in developed markets are likelier than their counterparts in the emerging markets to select this new scenario.

Clarity measures the flawlessness of a diamond and correlates directly to its value. A stone is said to be flawless if, under 10-power magnification, no internal flaws (clouds, feathers, pinpoints) or external imperfections (scratches, pits, nicks) are visible. Absolutely flawless diamonds are exceedingly rare.
Gem-grade diamonds are given a clarity rating based on a scale that is standard in the trade. However, when Tiffany believes that a diamond's clarity is on the borderline between two grades, Tiffany will always give the stone the lower grade.
The ideal engagement diamond is clear to the point of being colorless. At Tiffany, laboratory experts determine the color of each diamond by comparing it to authenticated "master" diamonds. Each stone is then color-graded to a precise scale from "D" (colorless) to "Z" (saturated). Only diamonds of "I" level (near colorless) or better are accepted at Tiffany.
"Carat" denotes the weight of a diamond. One carat equals 0.20 grams. Tiffany measures diamonds to 1/1000th of a carat. Taken by itself, carat weight does not determine a diamond's value. For example, two one-carat stones can vary widely in price when clarity, color, cut and presence are taken into consideration.
Tiffany & Co. has additional diamond quality standards that go beyond the 4Cs. Precision of cut reflects a diamond cutter's mastery of his craft and his ability to create the correct facets of a beautifully scintillating Tiffany diamond. Symmetry refers to perfectly proportioned cuts that rule out the appearance of off-center tables and culets, misshapen facets and wavy or non-parallel girdles and tables. A diamond's high polish rating helps ensure that a diamond's beauty is accentuated and not compromised. In Tiffany's relentless pursuit of diamond beauty, we insist upon superior polish, symmetry and precision of cut.
Cut—the precise shape and positioning of a diamond's facets—is the most important factor in determining the stone's beauty. Many diamond cutters choose to place the size of the diamond above its potential beauty, sacrificing the ideal balance of brilliance, dispersion and scintillation. Tiffany diamond cutters refuse to make this compromise; when the choice is size or beauty, we always choose beauty.
Tiffany creates the most beautiful engagement rings on earth.
Since 1837, the world's more rare and brilliant diamonds have made Tiffany a destination for those seeking the best.

But it ain't just me. The only amends I can do to those around me is to be a better man.
Screw alcohol. That's just a symptom. My problem is ME. Turns out I'm THEIR problem, too.

Old Fashioned Fourth of July at Georgia's State Parks & Historic Sites
Old Fashioned Fourth of July at Georgia's State Parks & Historic Sites
ATLANTA, JUNE 13, 2011 – Grab your beach towels, pack a picnic and spend the Fourth of July weekend at your favorite Georgia State Park. From lakeside swimming beaches to shaded picnic areas and playgrounds, a Georgia State Park visit is a great way to build lasting family memories that are also easy on the pocketbook.
All across Georgia, state parks have scheduled dozens of events, ranging from relay races, bicycle parades and watermelon eating contests to boat tours, cannon firings, flag raisings and even firework displays. For active lifestyles, there are also canoe trips, guided hikes and even a 5K race.
For families with small children, playgrounds, nature trails and beaches provide plenty of chances to burn off energy. Fireworks enthusiasts can skip the crowds and watch Atlanta's displays atop Panola Mountain or head to Georgia Veterans State Park in Cordele for a special show on the lake.
Park visitors are encouraged to reserve accommodations early since holidays fill up quickly. In addition to campsites, many Georgia state parks offer cabins with fully equipped kitchens and hotel-style lodge rooms. Reservations can be made by calling 1-800-864-7275 or online at www.GeorgiaStateParks.org.

Registered Versus First Time Signing Up
How can you tell a person who is actually registered from the people who created a profile and are either inactive or never fully joined in the first place?
I just would like to avoid wasting time sending messages/emotes to people who won't see them. I'm assuming that there is no way to get around it, but was hoping maybe someone on here would have a tip.

Thanks for the numbers. Looks like Unity's performance on nVidia is quite acceptable for gaming.
Does seem to be any significant difference between Unity/Gnome/XFCE/LXDE/KDE on intel and non-free amd and nvidia. Only on the free drivers is there some issues....
Composition doesn't seem to be bad unless your driver is bad.
im suprised that unity is finally comparable now, amd and intel are of course being the bad ones (and i dont know why your using linux with their drivers anyways)
kde looks to be on the decline just a bit, i have not noticed any difference between it and the gnome-shells really, but it just seems to be regressing just the slightest on nvidia cards
not that it matters, i like kde because its the most fully featured, and can easily switch out to lxde if i want raw performance
lukubuntu would be the best distribution ever...

PHILADELPHIA, PA - MARCH 24: Brett Comer #0 of the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles reacts in the second half alongside Jamaal Franklin #21 of the San Diego State Aztecs during the third round of the 2013 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament at Wells Fargo Center on March 24, 2013 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Sophomore guard Bernard Thompson sent a message about his Florida Gulf Coast team Sunday night.
"Dunk City is coming to Arlington," Thompson said. "So everybody be ready."
And if they aren't after the first weekend of the NCAA tournament, they have no excuse. Florida Gulf Coast, in Division I for just six years and eligible for the postseason for two, has sent shockwaves through the field of 68, crumpling brackets along the way, entertaining new fans with their freewheeling style and even inspiring a rap video, Dunk City.
The Eagles also made history in this historic city, becoming the first No. 15 seed to reach the Sweet 16 thanks to an 81-71 victory against San Diego State in the third round of the South Regional.
And just as Florida Gulf Coast (26-10) had done in Friday's stunning upset of second-seeded Georgetown, it was a strong second-half surge that put the Atlantic Sun Conference champion in charge as SDSU (23-11) wilted under the relentless offensive surge.
The Eagles will next meet Florida, winner of the 2006 and 2007 national championships, in Friday's South semifinals in Arlington, Texas.
The Gators are one of the highest-profile programs in the nation. FGCU was hardly known beyond its Fort Myers campus on Florida's southern gulf coast before seizing the tournament spotlight.
They're thriving in it.
When it was over Sunday, Atlantic Sun Conference player of the year Sherwood Brown blew kisses to the crowd and he and his teammates mugged for television cameras and hugged at midcourt.
Bernard Thompson scored 23 points and Brown finished with 17 Sunday as the Eagles shot 56% from the floor and ran their offense with the same precision and efficiency that stunned Georgetown. FGCU took over with a 17-point run in the second half, much the same way as the Eagles outscored Georgetown 21-2 in the second half Friday.
"That's just our style of play. We want to push the ball down the court and we want to attack, attack, attack," said point guard Brett Comer, who finished with 14 assists. "We're going to be in full attack mode the entire game."
And even a team like SDSU, which plays well in the open floor, had a tough time responding to it.
"You can see they were a little shaken up by how we come out and put the pressure on them," said Thompson. "We just come out and try to make them crack."
The Eagles became media darlings and caught the nation's attention Friday against Georgetown. But early in the regular season, the signs were there. FGCU beat eventual ACC champion Miami (Fla.), now the No. 2 seed in the East.
None of the accomplishments come as surprises to second-year coach Andy Enfield and his group of lightly recruited players.
Enfield, 43, is a former player at Division III Johns Hopkins (Md.), where he was the program's all-time scoring leader and set an NCAA record with a 92.5% career free-throw conversion rate, Enfield has long been known as a shooting guru.
His shooting expertise and instructional videos helped get him assistant coaching jobs with the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics, but he also got a masters degree in business from Maryland.
More than a decade ago, he helped to start up a contract management service for the health-care industry, called TractManager, which made him a fortune on Wall Street.
Enfield also is married to supermodel Amanda Marcum Enfield, who gave up her jet-setting career to become a coach's wife and raise their three young children.
Seven years ago, he decided to move to the coaching ranks full time, taking an assistant's job at Florida State. After learning about building a program from Seminoles coach Leonard Hamilton, Enfield felt he was ready to step out on his own.
Two years ago, he moved to FGCU, which was trying to make a name for itself in the Atlantic Sun.
While Enfield says some recruits he has talked to the past couple of years knew very little about the school (a few got it confused with Gulf Coast Community College in Panama City, Fla.), that problem will probably by alleviated now.
Playing an up-tempo style in an era where scores in the 50s are common, FGCU reached the Atlantic Sun tournament final last year and won 15 games, its most since joining Division I.
But that was nothing like what's happened this month, with a conference championship and now a couple of the more memorable upsets in NCAA history among Enfield's credentials.
After beating the Hoyas, Enfield said his players were a "bunch of crazy dudes." He returned to that theme Sunday, but made it clear they also know when to get to work.
"We don't take ourselves too seriously," he said. "We have a lot of guys on the team who are characters. We're FGCU. Hopefully by now, people are learning those initials. When we came into this tournament, we knew no one knew who we were or where we were. Most people don't even know where Fort Myers or Southwest Florida is.
"(The players) made huge jumps in the offseason, and they made a big jump from the middle of this season. We had a couple of really bad losses in the middle of the season, and now we've won 14 out of 16. So, we're playing at a high level."
And doing it at the right time.
Enfield said he knows Florida coach Billy Donovan well, and is familiar with many Gators players from recruiting them when he was at Florida State.
"They are great people," he said. "We know they can be beaten, but we also have an unbelievable amount of respect for them, the players and the coaching staff.
"They have one of the best programs and have had the success that all of us want to have one day."
That day might not be far away.

You'll fall in love with the feminine beauty of this bold ring. A bezel-set white mother of pearl cabochon is surrounded by a sterling silver twisted rope. Floral brass and bronze details create the feminine shank. Ring measures 1" long x 3/4 wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed.

Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.
