Weight loss through cycling
Forum rules
The information / discussion in the Cycling Health Forum is not qualified medical advice. Please consult your doctor. Re: Weight loss through cyclingI saw 'Eat, Fast & Live Longer' presented by Michael Mosley last Monday week on SBS & have been doing the 5:2 diet since. Basically on any 2 days of the week you have about 600 cal max. On the other 5 days they said you can eat what you like (so far I'm being pretty sensible).
I've chosen Mon & Thu as my 'fast' days, so this morning I skipped breakfast & have just had some veg soup with a slice of bread. Won't be eating again until 7:30 am tomorrow. The theory is that it helps prevent common cancers and promotes new neuron growth in the brain. Weight loss is not the purpose, though Mosley's weight & body fat dropped a good deal after 6 weeks. Very little study on humans done as yet. I haven't looked up what Mosley's been up to since he made the show yet. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01lxyzc
Re: Weight loss through cycling
Re: Weight loss through cycling indeed.
Nice theory... based on what evidence?
Re: Weight loss through cyclingDon't think there is much on humans yet. After watching the show I knew if I didn't start immediately I would just forget about it, so I started the next day as its simple to implement. My reading into is yet to come. In the meantime I don't think its a big deal for me to be doing this for a few weeks.
This link has some info, which I haven't looked at. http://thefastdiet.co.uk/
Re: Weight loss through cyclingClackers and winstonw, think we are all on the same page here. A lot of the problem is behavioural/habitual based on a mythology pushed by the fitness and diet business. A lot of it is bro science with no basis in fact.
The other issue I see is that overweight/obese is becoming the norm and therefore accepted as such which is sad and therefore they don't see that they are the people the loss weight get fit messages are pushed towards. Move more, eat less (and better) and have fun doing it. Last edited by Tony6463 on Fri May 10, 2013 9:53 am, edited 1 time in total.
Re: Weight loss through cycling
I have been thinking about adopting this method, so I will be interested to hear how you go.
Re: Weight loss through cyclingTbh, there are worse ideas than this. It is a method of calorie control that I can see some people will be able to persist with.
Didn't see on the site any outlandish cancer claims, though.
Re: Weight loss through cycling
^^^ this. Since reducing to a normal weight, I have been told by more than one person at work that I am getting "too skinny". Of course I'm not. I am a perfectly "normal" weight with still a little too much body fat. I could lose some fat and gain some muscle, which would put me in the heavier but healthier category. In any case, I find it interesting that obesity has become so normalised that a "normal" person is seen as "too skinny".
This is great advice. <removed by request>
Re: Weight loss through cycling
Sad isn't it how society in general sees things in this area. The other issue I have (and I am conscious here of hijacking the post and using my soap box) is that you can say how bad drugs, alcohol, abuse etc is and the impact it has on health and the medical system but you can't say that being fat is bad as that, out of all of the others, is seen as the wrong thing to say. We say how bad obesity is then we protect them as it's "not their fault" and it's not PC to say anything. Off my box
Re: Weight loss through cyclingHey there Michelle,
Keep cycling. Ponder the merits of adding some high-intensity interval training in there if you'd like more bang for your (time) buck, rather than adding too many more km per week (unless you have the time and inclination to do that, in which case, go for it). Mostly, I suspect you need to address your diet, though. And the name of the game is consistency. There are plenty of websites or iOS/Android apps out there these days to help count/track energy input/output which some people find quite handy. In the first instance, simply keeping an _accurate_ diary of what you actually do eat & drink for a couple of weeks can be very informative, and act as a good basis for planning for the future. Thirdly, ensure that cycling is not the _only_ regular exercise you're doing. I realise that may be viewed as sacrilege in this forum... but spreading the workload to other muscle groups will aid in increasing the total work you do, and toning up bits other than just your legs. Good luck!
Re: Weight loss through cyclingThanks everyone! So much helpful information
Re: Weight loss through cyclingWell, I just got home and have clocked up 600km in the last 12 days. Haven't lost an extra gram of weight...despite not eating junk.
Now on average, I allow for burning around 18Cals/km for my non race riding...so that 600k should have burned 1.5kg of fat. Doubt I've put on 1.5kg of extra muscle... Just goes to show riding, without conscious and informed energy input, is not the no brainer weight loss solution....at least for some.
Re: Weight loss through cycling
It also depends on how long you have been cycling for. I am only guessing, but I would suggest that you have been cycling for years and as such your body has reached it's equilibrium point for energy out versus energy in. I would also guess that over the years your body is more efficient in it's use of energy whilst you ride.
Re: Weight loss through cyclingI find jogging and swimming (all strokes - yes, even breaststroke has its benefits) are good complements to cycling. Just don't mention the 'tri' word here.
Re: Weight loss through cycling
Out of interest, can we see your calculation, Winston? Happy to play 'Spot the error', if there is one.
Re: Weight loss through cyclingThere is a show on tv tonight about 8.30 or so on one of the channels re "why we're getting fatter" or some such. Just a heads up in case anyone is interested in watching it.
Re: Weight loss through cycling
This is great advice. Tell Michele to ride whilst in ketosis up hills and in peak hour traffic. Bonking aka ketosis is very pleasant and healthy state to be in. NOT! Vegan since 2001.
Re: Weight loss through cycling
Michelle, you are cycling WAY more than my gf. You don't eat the same as her though and thats your problem. She has been eating a high carb, low fat, low protein, low sodium UNLIMITED calorie vegan diet for over 6 years now. LOTS of sweet fruits. We actually keep her training under 100km a week otherwise she would get too thin actually. She wants to keep a bit of curve. I sincerely doubt you would be willing to give up the fattening foods and replace them with steamed rice, vegan pasta dishes, fruit, sweet potato etc but I thought I would put it out there. My Mother is obese and always doing these fad starvation diets too. She says she wouldnt get enough protein as a vegan despite the fact the Guiness Book worlds strongest man is currently a vegan lol! Vegan since 2001.
Re: Weight loss through cyclingThe saying goes "Abs are fo9und in the gym, but lost in the kitchen.
Exercise to burn calories off is significant but diet is more so. However there are obvious other beneifts that come with the whole activity thing. If it hasn't been already mentioned, bonk-training/moderate fasting regime will prime your body to use the metabolic apthways that burn fat after the blood sugar and other readily available sources are depleted. Good for endurance if you are chasing performance boost while also helping get rid of the visceral fat that is the big killer for overweight males. In practical terms one form could be to ensure no snacking after evening meal and nothing but a coffee and fluids when you wake up, leaving food until after you have done your ride. Esentially a 12 hour fast before exercise. And one that also raises your metabolic rate for a time. Unchain yourself-Ride a unicycle
Re: Weight loss through cycling
More exercise isnt the solution. How do you stay lean when injured or sick? Starve? The solution angers a lot of people. The solution is....drum roll!.... You don't have to eat less if you just eat RIGHT! Vegan since 2001.
Re: Weight loss through cyclingMichelle - best to ignore durianrider's zealotry, a legend in his own mind. He thinks there is one and only one path to health and has low cred with his factoids and stuff including his own legendary achievements. (Sorry Durian but people are after advice, not religious zealotry. If they seek advice then we need to call out distractions to their search.)

Re: Weight loss through cycling
Well, we all know that you might not want to watch it - but there might be others that do. I'm just putting it out there. Let the others make up their own mind.
Re: Weight loss through cycling
No it doesn't. You just made that up.
True, but eating right doesn't mean stuffing yourself with bananas all day until you feel sick. There are other foods that are healthy too. <removed by request>
Re: Weight loss through cyclingI noticed DurianRider bringing in ketosis wrt bonking. And as usual not pertinant. Just fluff to obfuscate.
To put your body into ketosis requires an extreme form of diet over a lengthy period of time - al la Atkins diet. You will not readily get into ketosis. You need to either have an underlying (and serious) medical condition or you pretty much deliberately diet or starve to put yourself into that state. Bonk training is not starvation. It is fair to say however though that, while it is worth looking at, it is contentious (though not as much as an atkins diet. Or thirty bananas a day). Unchain yourself-Ride a unicycle
Re: Weight loss through cycling
I have no doubt that there are strong vegans. But selective one-off extremes are a poor way of supporting your beliefs. However, as always it's worth checking your throwaway factoids so... Current record holder is Benedikt Magnusson Maybe this week he is a vegan. Maybe not. lol. Guinness lists the man who has won the MOST worlds strongest man titles as Mariusz Pudzianowski - five wins and two runners-up. According to wikipedia:

What Is Coleus forskohlii Used for Today? | Dosage | Safety Issues | Interactions You Should Know About
A member of the mint family, Coleus forskohlii grows wild on the mountain slopes of Nepal, India, and Thailand. In traditional Asian systems of medicine, it was used for a variety of purposes, including treating skin rashes, asthma, bronchitis, insomnia, epilepsy, and angina. But modern interest is based almost entirely on the work of a drug company, Hoechst Pharmaceuticals.
Like other drug manufacturers, Hoechst regularly screens medicinal plants in hopes of discovering new medications. In 1974, work performed in collaboration with the Indian Central Drug Research Institute found that the rootstock of Coleus forskohlii could lower blood pressure and decrease muscle spasms. Intensive study identified a substance named forskolin that appeared to be responsible for much of this effect.
Like certain drugs used for asthma, forskolin increases the levels of a fundamental natural compound known as cyclic AMP. 1,2 Cyclic AMP plays a major role in many cellular functions, and some drugs that affect it relax the muscles around the bronchial tubes.
The scientific evidence for the herb Coleus forskohlii as a treatment for any disease is weak. What is known relates to the substance forskolin rather than the whole herb.
Two preliminary controlled studies have found that oral forskolin may be beneficial for treatment of asthma . 10,14 Forskolin may work by stabilizing the cells that release histamine and other inflammatory compounds. 3 , as well as by relaxing smooth muscle tissue. 4,5
Based on these apparent effects, Coleus forskohlii has been suggested as a useful treatment for eczema and other allergic conditions, dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps), angina , irritable bowel syndrome (spastic colon), crampy bladder pain (as in bladder infections ), and hypertension (high blood pressure). However, there is no direct evidence that it works.
One small double-blind study indicates that a concentrated forskolin extract might increase the rate of "fat burning," thereby potentially enhancing weight loss . 12 In addition, forskolin eyedrops have shown promise in improving glaucoma . 11
Coleus forskohlii has also been proposed as a treatment for psoriasis , because that disease appears to be at least partly related to low levels of cyclic AMP in skin cells.
A common dosage recommendation is 50 mg 2 or 3 times a day of an extract standardized to contain 18% forskolin. However, because such an extract provides significant levels of forskolin, a drug with wide-ranging properties, we recommend that Coleus forskohlii extracts be taken only with a doctor's supervision.
The safety of Coleus forskohlii and forskolin has not been fully evaluated, although few significant risks have been noted in studies done so far. Caution should be exercised when combining this herb with blood-pressure medications and "blood thinners."
In 2005, several cases of acute poisoning were reported in Italy, apparently caused by accidental contamination of Coleus forskohlii products with similar-appearing plants in the deadly nightshade family. 13 Safety in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.

History of Congress and the Capitol
This is the story of one of the world's great experiments in government by the people.
For more than two centuries, a new Congress has convened every two years following elections that determine all the seats in the House and one-third of those in the Senate. While the individuals change, the institution has endured-through civil and world wars, waves of immigration and great migrations, and continuous social and technological change.
Following the War of 1812, a stronger sense of national unity emerged in the United States. As America expanded westward, however, attempts to spread slavery into those new territories seriously divided the nation.
Regional Disputes
With an equal number of senators representing slave and free states, the Senate became the setting for explosive issues that increasingly divided the industrialized North, the agricultural South, and the rapidly expanding West.
Emerging from the shadow of the House of Representatives, the Senate matured into a creative and active lawmaking body. By 1850, it had grown to 62 members. Yet, unlike the far larger, more crowded House Chamber, the Senate still offered a relatively intimate setting that encouraged extended debate.
A Forum for Orators
The Senate's tradition of letting senators debate without time limits, and its relatively small size, encouraged great speakers. The even split between North and South inspired the orators. Daniel Webster of Massachusetts delivered two of the most significant speeches in American political history on the Senate floor: his "Second Reply to Hayne" (1830) and the "Seventh of March 1850" address.
Passionate words reflected senators' determination to exercise their power. Bitter struggles with President Andrew Jackson and his successors over the economy tested and reinforced the Senate's power, allowing the chamber to evolve into its modern role as a leading forum for setting national policies.
Who has more power, the Federal Government or the States? This basic question took on vast importance as arguments over slavery divided the nation. It also inspired one of the Senate's most famous debates.
Robert Y. Hayne of South Carolina presented the Southern viewpoint. He argued that states could ignore Federal laws that violated constitutional rights. "Liberty first, and Union afterwards," Hayne proclaimed. Senator Daniel Webster of Massachusetts responded with a ringing defense of the Federal Government's power to establish policies benefiting all Americans. He concluded with the now immortal words, "Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable!" Webster's speech propelled him to the top rank of American statesmen and strengthened relations between the North and West—at the South's expense.
"Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable!"
— Senator Daniel Webster of Massachusetts, January 27, 1830
The Senate gained new prominence in the 1830s as a result of its battle with President Andrew Jackson. Jackson's veto of an act to renew the charter of the Bank of the United States angered many members of Congress. When the President refused to comply with a Senate request for important documents related to bank operations, the Senate censured, or formally rebuked, him for assuming powers that he did not have under the Constitution. Jackson angrily rebuffed the Senate and dismissed its censure. Three years later, when Jackson's Democratic Party regained control of the Senate, the new majority voted to strike, or delete, the censure from the Senate Journal. Behind this debate lay a fierce struggle for power between Congress and the President over which branch would take the lead in shaping national policy.
In Congress, one person may have reasons to keep information private, while another has equally compelling reasons to make it public. In 1844, as the volatile issue of slavery inflamed emotions, Senator Benjamin Tappan of Ohio gave a secret treaty to a journalist. He wanted to publicize sections of the treaty that would allow slavery in Texas.
The Senate censured Tappan and threatened to expel future members who "leaked," or revealed, secrets.
Four years later, someone in the Senate gave the still-secret Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ending the Mexican War, to New York Herald reporter John Nugent. Determined to make good on its threat to enforce secrecy, the Senate ordered Nugent imprisoned in the Capitol until he named his source. Nugent refused. A frustrated Senate eventually released the reporter without discovering his source.
Three great Senators dominated what has come to be called the Senate's "Golden Age of Oratory," from the 1830s to the 1850s. The legendary orator Daniel Webster of Massachusetts spoke for industrial New England. Henry Clay of Kentucky, the "Great Compromiser," represented the Western frontier. The Southerner John C. Calhoun of South Carolina defended states' rights and the institution of slavery. Yet all three represented the United States. Alternately feuding and cooperating, this "great triumvirate" helped forge major legislative agreements, culminating with the Compromise of 1850.
The compromise included the Fugitive Slave Act, which required Northern states to return escaped slaves to their owners. By supporting it, Webster defied his antislavery constituents in Massachusetts, sacrificing his political career. The Massachusetts Senator believed passionately that he should defend the interests of the whole nation.
"I wish to speak today, not as a Massachusetts man, nor as a Northern man, but as an American."
—Senator Daniel Webster of Massachusetts, March 7, 1850
"I owe a paramount allegiance to the whole Union—a subordinate one to my own State."
—Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky, July 22, 1850

Benton served in the Senate as a Jacksonian Democrat for 30 years, although as a young man he fought Andrew Jackson in a duel. Benton also changed his mind about slavery. At first, he supported its expansion into Western territories. But later, he concluded that slavery hindered Western settlement and undermined national unity.

Scioscia, Roenicke reunite for Interleague series
Weaver prepared to dig in, duel with Brewers' Peralta in series opener
The Angels and Brewers begin a rare Interleague series at Miller Park on Friday, and it serves as a chance for two old friends to reunite on the baseball field.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia and Brewers manager Ron Roenicke have known each other since the beginning of their own professional playing careers; Scioscia was the Dodgers' first-round Draft pick in 1976 and Roenicke was the team's first-rounder in '77, and when the Dodgers sent Roenicke to play first base and the outfield in Class A ball in Clinton, Iowa, that summer, Scioscia was the catcher.
The two advanced through the Dodgers' farm system to the Major Leagues and were Dodgers teammates for parts of three seasons from 1981-83. They were reunited a few miles south in Anaheim when Scioscia was hired to manage the Angels in 2000. Roenicke spent 11 seasons as Scioscia's third base coach and bench coach before he moved to Milwaukee to manage the Brewers in '10.
Roenicke and Scioscia see each other in Spring Training and trade phone calls and text messages throughout the year. Roenicke said the last series of texts was about a week ago, but it did not include talk of the Angels' and Brewers' season-long struggles. For the most part, the two rarely talk business.
"Maybe a 'hang in there' if things are going bad," Roenicke said. "We don't usually go there."
When asked about the influence Scioscia has had on his career, Roenicke said, "The influence is that we've been friends for a long time. I think when he first got the job as manager I had managed a lot more than he had, so we had talked a lot through those years when he was thinking about managing. Once he got 2-3 years into it, I saw how good he was at it.
"Some of the things he does, I brought over here with me. He's got a great baseball mind, but he's also got a great sense of humor and is a great communicator. I like all the things he does."
The only Angels' visit to Miller Park to play against the Brewers came in 2002 and resulted in an L.A. sweep. The Angels did, however, return to Miller Park in '07 to face the Indians in a series that was forced there by a blizzard in Cleveland. They charged $10 for tickets and drew a surprisingly large crowd of 19,031.
Jered Weaver, who threw eight innings of one-run ball Sunday, will get the start for the Angels with an emphasis on finishing the season strong.
"I missed a big portion of the season with a broken elbow, and it was tough to get back into feeling strong again," Weaver said. "I've had a couple rough ones the last couple starts and just wanted to go out there and fill up the zone and try to get some zeros. I was able to do that [Sunday]."
The Brewers will send right-hander Wily Peralta to the mound. Peralta has a 4.51 ERA this season and has struggled at home, posting a 5.17 mark in 13 starts at Miller Park.
Two of his last three home starts have been strong, but his latest was not as good, as he allowed seven earned runs in 4 1/3 innings in a loss to the Reds.
Angels: Jimenez rejoins team
Luis Jimenez had to catch a red-eye flight and didn't arrive in St. Petersburg until shortly after 6 a.m. ET, but the third baseman started Thursday's game -- hitting an RBI single in his first at-bat and adding a double for a 2-for-3 day -- and is ready to audition for the third-base job.
"How can I be tired here? I'm not tired," Jimenez said.
Jimenez was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to replace Chris Nelson, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring.
After Alberto Callaspo was traded to Oakland, the Angels' future third baseman became a bit of a mystery. Jimenez figures to get a lot of the starts for the rest of the season and plans to make the most of the opportunity.
"I'm not afraid to do it," Jimenez said. "I'm not going to say I'm going to hit 20 home runs or I'm going to hit .330, but I'm going to do the best I can."
• The 2013 season began with questions regarding how the constant Interleague schedule would play out.
Some were not sure how teams would adjust, and it was uncertain how American League pitchers -- who had to start, stop and resume hitting, rather than just focus on it for one specific stretch -- would handle the change.
"It hasn't been as big an issue," Scioscia said. "It could be a distraction, because usually you have that whole Interleague timeframe that you get ready for, but [Weaver] was out hitting [on Tuesday], Jerome [Williams] was out hitting. These guys have been hitting for a week leading up to it, and it's worked out."
The Angels opened the season in Cincinnati and also made a trip to Wrigley Field in July for their two Interleague road series this season.
Brewers: Gennett continues roll
Scooter Gennett had three hits on Thursday to continue his hot-hitting month of August in the absence of Rickie Weeks.
Gennett took over playing time at second base for the Brewers after Weeks was lost for the season with a torn tendon in his left hamstring suffered on Aug. 7. Gennett has made the most of the late-season opportunity, hitting .422 with four home runs, nine RBIs and 12 runs scored in 17 appearances, including 16 starts at second base.
The former Brewers' 16th-round Draft pick (2009) has raised the question of if it should be him or Weeks as the Opening Day second baseman to start 2014.
"I don't know," Roenicke said Thursday. "I don't even really want to think about what we're doing [next year]. I like him a lot. It's not a question of whether we like him or not."
• Right-hander Johnny Hellweg went 0-3 with a 10.97 ERA in three starts and a relief appearance with the Brewers, but is 12-5 with a 3.15 ERA in 23 Triple-A starts. As a result of those numbers, Hellweg was named the Pacific Coast League's Pitcher of the Year on Wednesday.
Hellweg is expected to be called up to the Brewers when rosters expand in September.
"Hopefully he can come up here and do the same thing," Roenicke said.
Worth noting
• The Angels lead the all-time series against the Brewers, 183-171.
• Peralta has never faced the Angels, and Weaver has never faced the Brewers.

The sun is out today, but it's still cold and windy.
NEW YORK — It's another chilly, windy day in Queens, but at least the sun's out for this afternoon's matinee between the Nationals and Mets.
The Nats can only hope the abundant sunshine brings out the best in John Lannan, who today attempts to become the first member of the rotation to reach the sixth inning. It's been a woeful stretch for Washington starters so far, with Craig Stammen's five-inning performance Thursday the gold standard to date, as it were.
As manager Jim Riggleman said last night: "That can't continue. That's not going to work."
Lannan will be facing a Mets lineup bolstered by the return of leadoff man and shortstop Jose Reyes, who has been activated off the DL after missing several weeks with a mysterious thyroid issue. Reyes hasn't been himself for more than a year, but if he returns to the form he displayed in 2006-08, he's one of the most dynamic players in baseball.
Willy Taveras gets the nod in right field, in part because Mike Morse is not ready to return to the field from his calf injury, and in partRead more »

Go NATS!! (and a repost, because, hey, it's TWIB :-))We pause now for this brief PSA. This Week in Baseball is starting up again. Today's episode is supposed to air locally at 12:30 on Fox. I've not checked the MLB Network schedule, but last year the weekly episode would also air there on Sunday. How about that?
- JayB - Apr 10, 2010 at 4:32 PM
Mark,At what point does this team look hard at their pitching philosophy…They have changed out so many parts but for year after year they still can not throw strikes. This issue has crossed players of all ages and all levels of MLB and minor leagues. Is it time to dump Spin Williams?
- Anonymous - Apr 10, 2010 at 4:34 PM
Is there any chance that Guz can pitch?????
- JayB - Apr 10, 2010 at 4:36 PM
Mark,Posted the Mock option earlier…it makes the most sense…if they do not do it then I think you need to get some time with Rizzo to understand why he has just a most favored status on this team….Mike has said production is what matters…Mock has NEVER produced anything anywhere.
- Jeff Wang - Apr 10, 2010 at 4:55 PM
Neither has Bergmann or Walker… (well, this year, at least.)
- TBC - Apr 10, 2010 at 5:05 PM
The Nats need to make two roster moves (25 man and 40 man) to make room for Livo tomorrow. My prediction, in order of likelihood: Mock DFA. Bergmann DFA. Walker DFA. Remember, DFA clears a roster spot immediately and gives them 10 days to trade the guy or release him. If there's a bag of balls out there for whoever they DFA, they'll get it. Otherwise, they release the guy and sign him back to a minor league deal.Then when they bring Olsen up to take Mock's rotation spot, they will option someone down to make room, like one of the extra relievers.
- Sam - Apr 10, 2010 at 5:30 PM
If the Nats send Mock down, who would they call up to start next Sunday? I'm pretty sure that Mock would have to stay down for 10 days (barring injury – quick digression, if Riggleman beats up one or all of the relievers, does that count as an injury?). So, someone else would have to be called up to start next Sunday, someone like Olsen or Martin (shudder).JayB and all other Mock haters: please exercise patience. Lannan had a terrible Opening Day start in 2009, and he went on to have a decent season. No one is expecting Mock to be good, just serviceable (you know, until Strasburg, Detwiler, and possibly Wang are pitching). And previous performance and stats suggest that Mock can be that. That being said, I think Mock is much better suited for the bullpen. He's kind of like our Joba Chamberlain, without as much talent. He strikes out batters like crazy. If he pitches one or two innings at a time (and I mean intentionally, not by starting poorly), he could be so productive. I really think they should consider putting him in the bullpen and seeing what happens. He doesn't have a future in the rotation with this team, but I think he has enough talent to be a decent reliever.
- Sam - Apr 10, 2010 at 5:46 PM
If you want to complain about anything right now, do so about how Lannan just gave up a two-out, game-tying hit to a pitcher with a career .164 wOBA.
- Nervous Nats Fan - Apr 10, 2010 at 6:19 PM
Thanks for the explanation of the double play. Wasn't quite sure how that happened – it's hard to tell from gameday.
- Nervous Nats Fan - Apr 10, 2010 at 6:29 PM
2 errors already? This can't make their pitchers particularly confident that if they attack hitters, the defense will take care of them.
- DJ - Apr 10, 2010 at 6:41 PM
This is where Rizzo needs to show once again he doesn't a run a front office anything like our previous one (Bowden). Bowden would continue to give a certain player opportunity after opportunity based on potential and not performance. Mock deserves to be out of the Majors and needs to prove to the front office/coaches otherwise while doing so IN the minors.

Anybody watching the game on MASN and hear what Dibble just said about Reyes?
- Jim Webster - Apr 10, 2010 at 7:19 PM
Mark asks: Anybody watching the game on MASN and hear what Dibble just said about Reyes?I did a doubletake but think Bobby asked how a young athlete developed a thyroid problem and Dibble answered something like this — when you go to Canada and get your blood flushed. Caught me by surprise.
- JayB - Apr 10, 2010 at 7:20 PM
I did not hear anything much just an "oh yea, Yes!" with the error.
- Mark Zuckerman - Apr 10, 2010 at 7:22 PM
Thanks, Jim Webster. I heard he said something odd along those lines.

Does anyone else love Tyler Clippard right now?
- DJ - Apr 10, 2010 at 7:38 PM
Yes, Sam. Yes.
- Nervous Nats Fan - Apr 10, 2010 at 7:41 PM
Sam, I'm fully on the bandwagon. Plus, I have a soft spot for the glasses.
- Anonymous - Apr 10, 2010 at 7:42 PM
Clippard is great, would love to see him and Storen in the 8th/9th for the next 5 years. Need to get some insurance here
- Nervous Nats Fan - Apr 10, 2010 at 8:02 PM
Is it really that much better to have people who are "good" at defense playing out of position than to just leave in the regulars? Don't think I like this decision very much. Hopefully it won't matter.
- Souldrummer - Apr 10, 2010 at 8:03 PM
7 Ks for Clippard in 3 innings! Wow! What a lift!
- Sam - Apr 10, 2010 at 8:07 PM
Nervous Nats Fan: Guzman started the game at 2B, and he has done well enough to continue playing there late in the game. Kennedy is better than Adam Dunn at any position. Kennedy would be better than Dunn with no legs and one arm.Everyone else is in position.

Taveras' trade value will never be higher than on a 4 RBI day. Pull the trigger now.
- rmoore446 - Apr 10, 2010 at 9:06 PM
I was listening to the Mets radio broadcast and as soon as Willie came into the game, they said "he always manages a great defensive play against the Mets. He did it in Atlanta and he does it with the Nationals. As soon as the catch happened, "He did it again!"They even interviewed Willie on their aftergame and he said "Don't hit it to me. If you do, I will catch it. That's what I tell myself."He was asked about Clippard's great performance and Willie said "He was throwing the 'invisiball.' They must not have been able to see it."Great game!!

Let's all sleep soundly with a smile on our faces tonight. If the Nats beat Santana tomorrow, perhaps we can have a weekend of unrealistic expectations.
- Nervous Nats Fan - Apr 10, 2010 at 10:08 PM
Mark, has there ever been any talk of moving Clippard to the rotation?
- Mark Zuckerman - Apr 10, 2010 at 10:09 PM
Nervous Nats Fan: Clippard came up as a starter, remember, but the Nats really like what he can do out of the bullpen. At this point, I think he's far more valuable as a 7th-8th inning guy than a No. 5 starter.
- Dave - Apr 10, 2010 at 10:12 PM
@Eric: It's "Nyjer."I think I heard on the radio that Riggleman might indeed give him a day off tomorrow.
- natsfan1a - Apr 10, 2010 at 11:01 PM
I think I heard that on the tv, too, Dave. BTW, someone (on another blog, I think) suggested a mnemonic of "New York/Jersey" for the spelling of Nyjer.

I don't know how much I'll be able to handle Cardiac Capps. Would rather go through a rookie closer knowing that at least he is learning something when he blows a save. Cardiac Capps doesn't seem to learn and just tries to get by. Willie Harris saved his ass today. The Mets must HATE Willie Harris!
- rmoore446 - Apr 11, 2010 at 1:36 PM
This is fantastic writing. Agree with all the compliments. So glad to be a subscriber.Willie is my favorite player because he always goes all out. Doesn't hurt that he's a fellow Georgian. The Mets radio broadcasters actually came close to predicting the end because they moaned when he came into the game because of his past exploits.As others have said, I worry about Capps. We went through last year with another cardiac closer Macdougall. I don't want to do it again this year.

Year Five of the Mini-Residency Program
This fall marked the fifth year of the successful mini-residency program sponsored by Women's Health Services (WHS) and Veterans Health Administration's Simulation Learning Education and Research Network (SimLEARN). Developed by women Veterans health clinical experts, the mini-residency program for primary care providers continues to further VHA's progress in reaching VA's goal of implementing comprehensive primary care for women at all VA sites, and over 1850 providers have been trained to date. "We launched these mini-residencies in 2008 as a way to proactively prepare our providers for the record influx of women Veterans," said Patricia Hayes, Chief Consultant, Women's Health Services. "I am thrilled that we have trained so many providers and see this as a major step towards having every woman Veteran who comes to VA seen by a provider who is both interested and proficient in women's health care."

Rangers turn to young Tepesch for sweep
Righty still confident after back-to-back tough starts, will oppose Lyles
While Rangers right-hander Nick Tepesch has struggled in his last two starts, posting a 0-2 record with an 8.44 ERA, manager Ron Washington hasn't seen the rookie's confidence waiver.
"I haven't seen anything different in his demeanor, just the results," Washington said. "He just has to get his command back and get his sinker back. If he does that, everything else will fall into place. He's just been a little erratic with his command."
Tepesch will look to get his command back on Sunday as the Rangers go for a sweep of the Astros at Minute Maid Park.
Tepesch looked like a veteran throughout April, going 2-1 with a 2.53 ERA in four starts, two of which were quality outings. It has been the two starts in May that have given him trouble.
Allowing six runs (five earned) on six hits in four innings on Monday against the Cubs, Tepesch struggled to command his fastball, something he's been working on between starts.
"I feel like the last two starts, my fastball command wasn't as good as it has been," Tepesch said. "That's been the big focus. It's the focus all the time, but my command hasn't been there like it should be the past two games."
Meanwhile, Jordan Lyles will be on the hill for the Astros, looking for back-to-back wins in only his third start of the season. The 22-year-old is the second-youngest pitcher to start a game in the American League this season.
Since being called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City, Lyles has given up five runs (four earned) on 10 hits in 10 innings.
On Tuesday against the Angels, he allowed three runs on four hits in five innings. He also struck out six and walked two, retiring 14 of the final 17 batters he faced.
"I threw the ball a little bit better tonight than I did in my last outing," Lyles said after the game. "I was able to put up some zeros against a pretty good offense."
Rangers: Chirinos to catch Tepesch
• Robinson Chirinos, called up on Friday from Triple-A Round Rock, will catch Tepesch for the first time this season.
Acquired from the Rays on April 8, Chirinos was called up after A.J. Pierzynski went on the disabled list with a strained oblique muscle in his right ribcage. He replaces Geovany Soto, who has started five straight games.
"We can talk and get together before the game and make sure we are on the same page," Chirinos said. "Everybody has been open to talking to me about what they have and what is their best pitch. They're making it easy for me. At the end of the day, you go out and compete and try to win the game."
Astros: Grossman to stay in center field
• Manager Bo Porter remains committed to giving more at-bats to rookie center fielder Robbie Grossman, who has started 15 of the team's past 17 games in center field. Grossman is hitting .194, but has hit safely in 10 of his previous 12 games.
"We're going to continue to give him an opportunity to play," Porter said. "That's why he's here, and he's going to continue to get that opportunity until we decide to make a different decision."
Grossman was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on April 24 after he hit .324 with a .452 on-base percentage in 19 games.
"He definitely works the count and he's hit several balls on the nose," Porter said. "From an average standpoint, he may not have anything to show for it, but every time you look around, he's squaring the ball up and somebody's making a diving play or a great play. He has tremendous at-bats and he's done a lot of good things since he's been here."
Worth noting
• Astros outfielder Justin Maxwell, who's been on the disabled list since April 24 with a fractured left hand, won't travel with the team to Detroit and Pittsburgh next week. He plans to stay in Houston to work out with Matt Holland, a sports rehabilitation specialist at the Methodist Hospital in Houston.
• Rangers starter Colby Lewis pitched two innings in his first start on medical rehabilitation assignment Thursday night for Triple-A Round Rock and has developed some soreness in his right triceps muscle. Lewis did not throw a scheduled bullpen session on Saturday, although he did play catch.

Words: T-Bird

Stratton Mountain, Vermont played host to what might be the best pipe contest in years. If not the best, at least it was the most progressive. Under sunny skies and minimal wind, 16 men and 8 women took to a slushy pipe that required more maintenance than a fat girl with diabetes and a separation complex. Seriously though, the crew that kept this pipe intact deserves praise. They had their hands full as the day progressed and the temperature rose. Thousands of people turned out for the Men's and Women's pipe finals, and they were not disappointed. Neither was I.
The women went first, and after semi-finals, 8 were chosen to move on to the big show. With the unexplainable absence of Gretchen Bleiler, Kelly Clark was clearly the favorite, but there were a few women in the field who held the fortitude to give her a serious run for her money. Steamboat Springs local and the youngest girl in the competition, Maddy Schaffrick qualified in second place behind Clark, but in the finals, she couldn't put a podium run together. However, this girl is the future face of competitive women's halfpipe snowboarding. Switch backside spins mixed with insane combos will soon blend with amplitude and young Maddy will more than likely be a force to be reckoned with. Aside from Maddy, Kelly Marren landed a few backside nines but couldn't quite find her board with her hand. Regardless, she put together some impressive runs. Kaitlyn Farrington finally landed herself a podium appearance at the Open with a second place finish. Kaitlyn goes huge and rides like Torah. Technical, big and with tons of style. Worth mentioning Hannah Teter, another favorite to take down Clark on her home hill, who qualified for finals yet failed to show for any of her runs. I'm sure the message boards were lighting up on webcasts the world over. Ellery Hollingsworth rounded out the podium with an impressive run and a well-deserved third place finish. And yes, it was Kelly Clark's run consisting of back-to-back sevens and an overhead front nine that creamed the competition. After Kelly's first run she had it in the bag, but that didn't prevent her from attempting a massive front ten in her victory lap. Kelly Clark rules, and she gained the respect of everyone in attendance by the day's end.
As for the men, it's almost impossible to put into words exactly what happened. First of all, the seemingly unbeatable Shaun White opted out of the contest. He was on the start list, yet when it came time to drop, White failed to do so. Apparently, the Vancouver gold medalist wasn't feeling well and chose not to ride, thus opening the door to a slew of contestants to walk away with US Open hardware. The 16 men battled it out for over an hour, kicked off by Iouri Podladtchikov's first run which consisted of two double corks, one of which has only been landed by Shaun himself–the double McTwist 1260–dubbed by mainstream media as "the most dangerous trick in snowboarding." The crowd went nuts and Ipod's 90-plus score forced the remaining riders to step it up, and they certainly did. It was Louie Vito's birthday, yet the tiny dancer treated the spectators to a present when he unveiled his new double cork that is yet to be named. Louie landed three doubles in his run and took the lead, but it was Kazuhiro Kokubo's second run that would topple Vito's lead and he would hold on to the win, even though Ipod landed a run of his own with three doubles. Rumors immediately started circulating about Ipod's run being scored low, but we're not judges and we're not in the booth, so we must trust that they know something that we don't. Regardless, all three of the men on the podium turned yet another page in the evolution of competitive pipe riding and I'm not 100% convinced that if Shaun did compete today that he would've won.
Words don't do today's US Open pipe final justice, so wait for the video. It will be up soon, and stay tuned to snowboardermag.com for all the photos, videos and behind-the-scenes coverage of the 2010 US Open in Stratton, Vermont.

Animals Used for Fur
Beavers are extremely gentle, family-oriented animals who mate for life and remain lifelong friends with their offspring. The second-largest rodent in the world, the beaver can live 19 years, reach 60 pounds, and grow up to 4 feet long. Baby beavers, or "kits," are usually born to hard-working, loving parents who have been together for many years. Female beavers are especially busy as they care for their young while looking after their rambunctious "teenagers."
Beavers are master architects—their complicated, well-built lodges can stand for years. These "busy beavers" take pride in their work and are constantly concerned with repairs to their homes. Beavers' activity helps keep stream beds healthy and in good repair, and beavers are a keystone species in an ecosystem because they create wetlands that are used by many other species.
When startled or frightened, a swimming beaver will rapidly dive while forcefully slapping the water with his or her broad tail. This creates a loud sound, audible over large distances above and below water, which serves as a warning to other beavers in the area. Once a beaver has made this danger signal, all nearby beavers will dive and may not reemerge for some time. At one point in time, these industrious, clever animals were hunted and trapped nearly to extinction. Beavers today are still in constant danger of being caught in traps.
The body-gripping traps used to capture and kill beavers cause these sensitive animals immeasurable suffering. In many cases, Conibear (body-gripping) traps fail to catch the animals quickly or on target. If the traps do not kill the beavers immediately, they can slowly drown, suffering for up to 20 minutes. Death by drowning is extremely cruel—the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) condemns it in its 2000 Report of the AVMA Panel on Euthanasia.
Chinchillas are shy, intelligent animals who eat vegetables and fruits and can live up to 15 years in the wild. Social "chatterboxes," these sensitive nocturnal animals can spend all night long "talking" to one another. Fastidiously clean, they require frequent dust baths to care for their extremely dense fur. These "fluff fests" also provide invaluable moments of comfort and entertainment—moments that are denied caged chinchillas who are cruelly "farmed" for their fur.
Dogs and Cats
"Man's best friend" killed for fur? It's not just a bad dream. PETA's recent undercover investigation into the Chinese dog and cat fur trade revealed what the industry is so desperate to hide. Even our veteran investigators were horrified at what they found: Millions of dogs and cats in China are bludgeoned, hanged, bled to death, and strangled with wire nooses so that their fur can be turned into trim and trinkets.
Foxes are intelligent nocturnal animals who rely on their big bushy tails to spread scent in order to communicate. Foxes usually survive by eating fruit, berries, roots, carrion, rats, and slugs. Foxes play an important ecological role, as they "clean" the environment, and their survival often depends upon the amount of available food in their territories. They bury food and have a very good sense of hearing, picking up sounds of small animals in the grass, underground, or under the snow. They have a keen sense of smell and will hunt from dusk to dawn.
Sometimes called "marsh otters," minks love to swim (aided by their slightly webbed hind feet) and are often found near water. They can swim to depths of 50 feet underwater on just one breath. In the wild, minks are generally territorial and solitary and often travel long distances, sometimes using the dens of other animals as "hotel pit stops." Minks prefer habitats that provide good cover—such as grass, brush, trees, and aquatic vegetation—and they make their dens in cavities in brush or rock piles, logjams, and exposed roots of trees.
Rabbits are extremely social animals who live with their families in underground burrows called "warrens." They can hop faster than a cat, human, or white-tailed deer can run. Rabbits love nibbling on alfalfa, timothy hay, apples, carrots, and crisp, green veggies, and they chew vigorously to trim their front teeth, which never stop growing. They communicate through body language, marking their territories like cats by rubbing their chins on twigs, rocks, or other landmarks.
Raccoons can be recognized by their beautiful eyes, which are outlined by a black mask of fur. They have thick, fuzzy brown-gray fur, and highly sensitive ears tufted with white fur. Those who live in humid, dense forests have darker fur than those in arid climates, where raccoon fur is a lighter, reddish color. Their bushy tails keep them balanced and stores fat during winter months, while their front limbs provide them with great manual dexterity.

All selections, analysis and thoughts will be posted on the Bowl Express Thread SPOOKY EXPRESS BOWLING FOR DOLLARS SELECTION AND ANALYSIS THREAD BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME Alabama vs. Notre Dame Monday, Jan 7, 8:30 pm ESPN The dust has barely settled on an epic SEC Championship, but it's already time to look a month ahead to the BCS Championship Game. It's a surprise to few that Alabama is there. If you had suggested at the beginning of the season that Notre Dame would be there, though, you probably would have been checked into the loony bin. Yet here they are, playing for all the marbles. So, can they win? As I see it that question is going to come down to two major factors: Watching the SEC Championship Game, one thing stood out above all else — Alabama can run like crazy. This isn't fancy running, either — it is brutal, bashing, relentless running from not one but two elite running backs. The question I was focused on from halftime in that game was whether Notre Dame could handle that. Would they be able to control the run, or would Alabama be able to dominate on the ground? At first glance the news is very good — Notre Dame is fifth in the country in rushing yards allowed with just 92.4 per game. The closer you look at it, though, the worse that looks. Heading into the BCS Championship Game, Alabama had the 20th-best run offense, producing 215 yards per game — an average they far exceeded with 350 yards against Georgia. Notre Dame faced just one run offense better than Alabama in the run rankings — sixth-ranked Navy. They held Navy to less than half of their season average, so you could argue that the Irish put on a good showing. Two things dispute that, though. First, Notre Dame got ahead early, so Navy was forced to pass earlier than they otherwise would have to try to save the game. Second, when you look at the running backs from Navy, they averaged well over eight yards per carry. That's not good defense. The rest of the opponents on the Notre Dame schedule were teams that were either average or lousy on the ground. Michigan was the second-best running team even though they were ranked just 40th in the nation, and they managed 161 yards despite throwing five interceptions that cost them the ball and forced them to keep passing to try to get back into the game. Boston College is the second worst major conference running team, behind only Washington State. Pitt was 89th in the country. Miami was 84th. Michigan State, USC, and BYU were all in the bottom half of the national rankings. I could go on, but you get the point — Notre Dame's run defense has not been tested, and it can't be trusted to produce like it has all year. I see no reason why the Tide can't try to establish the run early and allow that to create opportunities and set the tone of the game. If Alabama can run — and I think they will be able to — then the pressure is going to be on Golson and the Irish offense to score to keep up. If Alabama does control the ground game then Notre Dame will face the added pressure of having to score reasonably quickly because they won't have the luxury — or the ability — to run their offense on the ground as well. So, can Golson excel in this situation? I'm doubtful. I would have troubles trusting Golson against any championship game-caliber opponent. His passing numbers were not that impressive. When you look though, those already-underwhelming stats were inflated against weak opponents — he played 11 games, but eight of his touchdowns and almost 1,100 yards came against just four weaker opponents — Wake Forest, Boston College Pitt, and Purdue. Michigan's pass defense was rated higher than Alabama's heading into the SEC Championship. Alabama's defensive minds have a month to prepare for this game. They will focus on ways to force Golson to pass, and if and when that happens the results won't be pretty. I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I think Alabama is going to win this game. The issue, though, is that 10 points is a lot to give up in any situation. I'm really not comfortable doing it, but ultimately I think Alabama is a far superior team, and I really don't see Notre Dame winning. That means to bet on Notre Dame I would be hoping for them to not lose too badly. That doesn't seem logical, so I will begrudgingly endorse yet another SEC National Champion for now. I see Alabama winning this game by more than a touchdown. So right now they are a small play but we will wait until we get closer to game time to finalize and hopefully see the line move down some. As I posted towards the end of this thread last year the BCS Championship game was my biggest and best bet of bowl season, this year its definitely not. I have been on the Alabama bandwagon all month and really still not impressed by Notre Dame, taking nothing away from what they accomplished. I think the only thing that stops me from making this a big play is the system showing Alabama to win by a touchdown. So I will stick to my guns but want to buy it down and I have been on the Over since the very beginning and still feel their will be some scoring tonight. ALABAMA - 8 ALABAMA vs. NOTRE DAME OVER 40 POINTS

I've been natural for 4 years and done a 2nd big chop in January. I have 3c-4a hair type and the product works great! This product moisturizes my hair, define my curls and refreshes my scalp after a wash.

AndreaArizonaHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairDefinietly Something To Try!I bought this product earlier this month, and I have to say it works great. It is definetly worth the money. It took me a while to figure out how much to use and how wet my hair should be when I apply it. My curls are a little different, I'm Mexican-American so my hair isn't super curly but they aren't very soft, loose curls either, it's in between. For my hair type, a little goes along way. I don't use it on wet hair. I wait until my hair is semi-damp before applying a small amout, I like my hair big and soft so I apply little product.
This product is super rich, and has a nice peppermint smell. Curls look absolutely stunning throughout the entire day. Never flatten nor become frizzy.posted Jan 28, 2012Link to this post -

GigiCleveland, OHHairBlackThick or Coarse HairGreat CremeI like the curly buttercreme more as a hairdress than a styling agent, I haven't tried it yet on twistouts or anything like that, I'm going natural so I wash my hair first and then use the curly pudding or meringue to style it, the buttercreme works wonders as a moisturizer and a quick touchup to the style the day after you've used the pudding or meringue, just like the miss jessie's website suggests. I am pleased with the results and the peppermint scent is refreshing, I'm certain that it will work just as well for twists, etc.posted Aug 29, 2010Link to this post
KekeHouston, TXCurly Buttercreme - Great DetanglerI only purchased the 2 oz in case I didn't like the product. It works well on my natural fro. If you are looking for something that is super oily, this isn't the product for you. My hair texture is medium but when using this product, it makes my hair very soft and easy to comb through (wide tooth comb). I'm going to order the largest size since I flew through the 2 oz with daily use in about 3 wks on a short fro. Going natural is more expensive but my hair is healthier than its ever been in decades so it is worth the trade off in the end. Good luck!posted Aug 29, 2010Link to this post

Top 5 Commentaries on the Book of Obadiah
from Keith Mathison Feb 14, 2009 Category: Articles
The book of Obadiah, the shortest in the Old Testament, is a brief oracle against the nation of Edom. Edom represents all nations that are hostile to God and to his kingdom.

Pessimistic Existentialism (pt. 4)
from R.C. Sproul Feb 12, 2009 Category: Articles
Here we see the vivid contrast between pessimistic existentialism and Christianity. Christianity also features a ringing call to courage. The most frequent negative prohibition found in the New Testament comes from the lips of Jesus--"Fear not!" This command is given so often by Christ that it almost seems like a greeting. One gets the impression that virtually every time Jesus appears to His disciples, He begins the conversation by saying, "Fear not." Keep Reading -
Pessimistic Existentialism (pt. 3)
from R.C. Sproul Feb 11, 2009 Category: Articles
European films, such as those of Ingmar Bergman, Antonini, and Fellini have communicated some of the motifs of existentialism. The "theater of the absurd," a phenomenon that began in France in the 1950s and came to Broadway in the 1960s, was another vehicle of existentialism. The theater of the absurd gained prominence with Samuel Beckett's play, Waiting for Godot. In this play, two vagrants pass the time while waiting for the unidentified Godot. But Godot never arrives. Godot is a thinly veiled characterization of God. The idea is that modern man lives in the absence of God. He waits for God, but God never shows up. Keep Reading -
Pessimistic Existentialism (pt. 2)
from R.C. Sproul Feb 10, 2009 Category: Articles
Our dilemma is this: We are caring persons living in a world that doesn't care. We cannot look above the universe or outside the universe to find someone who cares. There is nobody out there; there is nobody home in heaven. Dr. James Montgomery Boice tells the story of an amateur mountain climber who fell over the side of a steep precipice which dropped off to a cavern thousands of feet below. One lone scraggly bush clung to the face of the cliff and the climber desperately grasped it to keep from plunging into the abyss. But the bush was not strong enough to bear his weight and began slowly to work lose from its roots. In sheer terror the climber screamed to heaven, "Is there anyone up there who can help me?" Suddenly a sonorous bass voice was heard from the clouds. "Yes, I can help you. But you must trust me. Let go of the bush." The climber stole a glance downward and then looked again toward heaven. He exclaimed, "Is there anyone else up there who can help?!" Keep Reading -
Pessimistic Existentialism (pt. 1)
from R.C. Sproul Feb 09, 2009 Category: Articles
"Man is a useless passion." These words penned by the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre provide the model of modem existentialism. In this simple statement are found the most basic elements of a modern theory of man. It is a bottom-line judgment, a grim conclusion to the question, "What's it all about?" Keep Reading -

Top 5 Commentaries on the Book of Amos
from Keith Mathison Feb 07, 2009 Category: Articles
Amos prophesied at a unique time in the history of the divided kingdom. He preached to an affluent society that was deeply involved in false worship and in the mistreatment of the poor. These wealthy and powerful Israelites were confident and secure. Into the midst of this complacent society comes Amos, declaring that Israel has broken God's covenant. There are a number of very good commentaries on Amos, and the following are five of the best. Keep Reading -
Total Surrender
from Kevin Smith Feb 06, 2009 Category: Articles
Gary Thomas, in his book Seeking the Face of God, makes this statement: "Christian health is not defined by how happy we are, how prosperous or healthy we are, or even by how many people we have led to the Lord in the past year. Christian health is ultimately defined by how sincerely we wave our flag of surrender." What he is saying is this: a major way to measure our spiritual health is to determine how surrendered we are to God. I believe that many of our greatest struggles in living a healthy, productive Christian life come to us because of our unwillingness to surrender fully to God. Keep Reading -
Hero of Heroes
from Robert Rothwell Feb 05, 2009 Category: Articles
Unfortunately, it is not too long before we discover that our heroes are just as flawed as we are. History is filled with details of great men and women who succumbed to their flaws and temptations. Regrettably, we find this is true both of the heroes of the kingdom of this world and the heroes of the city of God. Those of us with more than a passing interest in historical theology cannot read too far before the flaws of the greatest theologians in church history come into sharp focus. Keep Reading -
The Gospel of the Gospels
from Daniel Hyde Feb 04, 2009 Category: Articles
Quick. What are the Gospels? Time is up. Did you answer: "The Gospels are the biographies of Jesus Christ?" When we read the Gospels as biographies only, we basically look at them like trees apart from the proverbial forest. There is a better way to read and hear them. The Gospels are biography, but they are theological interpretations of the life of Jesus Christ with the purpose of proclaiming the coming of the king of Israel and the inauguration of His kingdom over all the earth.
