Dog fighting is a huge problem, and sometimes it can seem that you can't do much to help as an individual. But there are a few things you can do to stop it now, and we really need your help.
Why? Take it from those of us who have seen dog fighting compounds first-hand: Life as a dog used for fighting is a nightmare.
They live chained up or in a tiny cage. They don't get the veterinary care they need. They die in the ring or are unceremoniously shot for losing. Some are used as "bait" for other dogs. Some have litter after litter. Some starve. Some go without water for days.
Odds are that dog fighting is happening in your state right now. We need your help to stop it. Give dog fighting victims three minutes of your time?
1. Ask your U.S. representative to support the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act.
The Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on January 23, would make it a federal offense to knowingly attend an organized animal fight and would impose additional penalties for bringing children to animal fights. Violators would face up to one year in prison for attending a fight, and up to three years in prison for bringing a minor to a fight.
You can help the bill along by contacting your rep. We've made it easy at the ASPCA Advocacy Center, and we promise it only takes a few minutes, tops.
2. Download our new anti-dog fighting toolkit for citizen advocates.
If you're as horrified by dog fighting as we are, and you think you might want to commit more time to stopping dog fighting in the near future, download our new toolkit developed with the U.S. Department of Justice. It's got everything you need to know to get more involved. (We admit, actually reading it will take more than three minutes, but you get the idea.)
3. Fight Pit Bull prejudice via social media.
Pit Bulls and dogs who look like Pit Bulls get a bad rap because of their reputation as fighting dogs. Fight it by becoming a tireless advocate for them on your social networks. Start by posting the profile of a cute, adoptable Pit Bull-type dog on Facebook (we suggest Pet of the Week Champion) or sharing a happy tail about a Pit.
You can even share the story of a rehabilitated ex-fighting dog, like Ninja.
Oh, and of course, a bonus fourth thing you can do: Share this post on your social networks.
Easy, right? Together we can make a huge difference, and to the dogs who are suffering right now at the hands of fighters, it means the world.
To learn about a few more ways to fight back against blood sports, view our 10 ways to help end dog fighting and get educated about the issue on our dog fighting page.
On behalf of the dogs, thank you!
Join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade!
By joining the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade, you will receive important alerts from us when we need your help to fight for laws against animals cruelty.
I live in Australia, where we have the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and I was wondering if anyone knew if there were dog fights in Australia.
If you do, please reply and tell me what you found out, because I'm going to take matters into my own hands..
Make dog fighting a federal offense carrying 25 yrs.imprisomment. Maybe that might make these "humans" think twice.
we are to love al things great and small
As a Pitbull lover and as a Parent that just lost my baby boy of almost 14 years...that is what my Pitbull boy was to me "My Baby". He was the sweetest and loved to be so spoiled as he was...he ruled our home and our hearts! I just cannot understand how cruel humans can be to these dogs and it is so unfair to label Pitbulls as dangerous, as bad dogs, when in fact they are very loving dogs!
I will support any law and all laws that will stop Dog Fighting...this must stop...NO MORE DOG FIGHTING AND JAIL TIME FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS NOT JUST THE PERPETRATORS!
They want to figth. They should get in a ring with a professional boxer and see what it is like. It should be illegal and people caught participating in any way should be charged. It is a sport for little minds. BAN IT NOW.
People need to speak out regarding the totally unacceptable practice of abusing and neglecting ALL animals.
Please let,s stop this totally inhumane act and end the totally needless suffering of these innocent animals, who cannot speak for themselves...Perhaps we should put the owners in the rings !
I cringe when I read or hear about a dog fighting story. I believe that whom ever is responsible for the death of helpless dogs should be put in a ring with others of their kind. Then they can fight each other until one of them is unresponsive. Or we can treat them like they treated their dogs...leave them in a small cage with no food or water.
Wisconsin DNR Proposes Allowing Packs of Dogs to "Train" On Wolves.
Essentially the DNR document that outlines this disgusting proposal uses hearsay from bear hounders and their propaganda to justify what they will be doing to wolves. They even contradict themselves numerous times while openly admitting that bear hounders broke the law by "accidentally" "trailing" wolves when they were and endangered species. To sum up what the document allows:
No breed restrictions will be in place. This means that hounders can choose breeds specifically bred to fight wolves to pit against them. This is perfectly fine according to the DNR because Wisconsin has a "law" that makes it illegal to kill wild animals with dogs. And we know how honest bear hounders are.
No leashes will be required. This is because we all know just how difficult it would be for the hounder to have to leave the comfort of their vehicle to actually observe their vicious dog packs terrorizing wildlife. The DNR then talks about how hard it would be for the hounder to "harvest the animal humanely" if they have to keep their dogs on a leash. As we all know they are such humanitarians and care so much about the pain and suffering they inflict on wildlife.
DNR will trust hounders to teach other hounders how to go after wolves with no certification required because the DNR has no "expertise" in this area? Really? So how are they expected to "enforce" what they have no knowledge of?
No restrictions about where hounders can let their dogs run rampant in wolf habitat. Remember that hounders will be allowed to let their packs of vicious dogs run completely unsupervised through wolf, bear, and other wildlife habitat during times that coincide with bear hibernation. Whose to say that hibernating bears will not be harassed or even killed by these packs of vicious dogs? The DNR obviously doesn't care.
Finally they want to allow hounders to "train" their dogs on wolves with no restrictions right through the breeding, denning, and birthing seasons until the end of March. When pregnant females need to be preparing for the birth of their litters they will be harassed or even attacked by unlimited packs of vicious dogs. The fine print reads that they can "only" use packs of "six" dogs at a time to "train"but that they can switch out to new packs of dogs if the original pack gets tired. So essentially unlimited dogs will be allowed to go after wolves during this very sensitive time. The DNR even has the gall to call this a "reasonable fair-chase restriction."
And here are the few "restrictions" the DNR will be placing on hounders:
Hounders cannot go after wolves at night. How generous of them.
Hounders cannot be reimbursed for dogs killed by wolves while hunting or training against wolves. But of course nothing stops a hounder from claiming that they were "hunting coyotes" so they can get that nice fat $2500 check for their "beloved" dog. In this document the DNR even goes so far as to repeat the bear hounder propaganda about how much they "care" about their dogs.
The DNR will trust hounders to "call off" their dogs when they think there are more than "1 or 2″ wolves in the vicinity. Of course how can they "call them off" when they are sitting in their trucks and the dogs are running rampant through the woods?
The the DNR brags about how there were "only" 11 dog "depredations" in 2012. They claim that hounders are being more "careful" about where they let their dogs run. That's funny considering now they are going to now pit those very same dogs that they claim to "care" for up up against wolves in the same areas. Remember one of the reasons Rep. Scott Suder (R-ALEC) and his anti-wolf allies claimed for the the wolf kill bill was that wolves were "decimating" hunting dogs. Now the DNR refutes that. Wow.
Finally, hounders can use radio receiving devices to "track" their dogs but can't use those same devices to seek out radio collared wolves. Of course again we all know how "honest" and "ethical" hounders are.
Then we have the DNR even going so far as to claim that it has been "legal" to "train" dogs against wolves since they were delisted on January 27, 2012. Really? At this time the wolf kill bill had not even passed and wolves were not considered a "game" species yet. So according to the DNR hounders could legally put their dogs up against wolves from the day they were removed from the ESA list? So does this mean hounders can "train" their dogs against any "non-game" species that they want with no restrictions? Then the DNR points out that hounders have let their dogs "unintentionally" chase wolves for years even when they were under federal protection. This is ok? Do these sadists have any rules they are required to follow?
Then we have the quote of all quotes. If you are drinking anything swallow it before reading this:
"We have strived to base our season on science, social desires, and regulations that are reasonable, practical, and acceptable."
Reasonable, practical, and acceptable to whom? The only ones who find this abomination to be acceptable and reasonable are the bear hounders, their puppets in the DNR, and legislature. There is nothing "science" based about allowing packs of vicious dogs to go after wolves with almost no restrictions. When even the wolf hating states out west do not allow this that tells you something. Wisconsin is the ONLY state that allows this insanity and has the gall to call it "science." And this garbage about "social desires" is just that, garbage. These anti-wolf zealots will never be satisfied as long as on free wolf is allowed to live. I have it from well placed sources that many within the DNR do not at all agree with the Stepp/Thiede propaganda and their zeal for allowing doges to go after wolves, but they are afraid to speak out. They need to speak out or this is only going to get more extreme and sadistic if that is even possible.
It is also shameful the the Department of Interior under "Cowboy Ken" Salazar has allowed plans like Wisconsin's to be implemented unchecked. So much for that "five year monitoring" they claim to have in place. This also falls on President Obama who should be ashamed that this is happening under his watch. So much for being a "Progressive."
The HSUS better use this document as a focal point of their lawsuit to prove this is nothing more than an eradication/revenge hunt to placate bear hounders and anti-wolf zealots. We must also be fully involved by attending the Spring Election of the "Conservation Congress" in each of our counties on April 8th. There will be several "advisory" questions about the use of dogs against wolves. We must mobilize ethical hunters and living wildlife advocates to attend and vote for proposing a law to ban the use of dogs against wolves, and vote against the various anti-wildlife proposals being offered. The DNR continues to spit in the face of anyone who cares about wolves and wildlife and it is up to us to stop them. No more apathy, the time is now to step up and take our wildlife and wild lands back from the bear hounders/trappers and their sadistic allies. The DNR can no longer use the veil of "science" to justify their pandering to the most sadistic and anti-wildlife groups out there.

Transportation security on highways
What we're doing to protect the roads
The Wisconsin State Patrol is a division within the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT). A relationship exists between local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and the entire transportation infrastructure that enhances communication and response.
- WisDOT is reviewing the transportation network to evaluate how various components are connected and what potential risks exist. Plans have long been in place regarding threats to the state's highway system.
Emergency plans
WisDOT has evacuation routes established for the potential closure of part of the transportation network. This includes the need to redirect traffic from an interstate in order to protect motorists or provide access to community along that freeway corridor. The plans were originally drawn up for weather-related catastrophes, and have been used to address problems caused by serious traffic incidents.
Reporting unusual activity
You should contact your local police agency or State Patrol office and report anything you feel should be investigated.
- If you see something you perceive to be an immediate threat to public safety or the state's transportation network, dial 911 and report the situation immediately.

Your family
At Fowey Hall we put family life at the core of your luxury holiday: Kids can eat bangers and mash, bounce on the trampoline, paint pictures and play Wii. Grown-ups can dine by candlelight, sip fine wines, soak up sea views and relax with spa treatments. Together, families can explore the gardens, get sand between their toes and enjoy leisurely meals while the dog snoozes by the fire. We never expect you to compromise on quality because you have children in tow.
Our excellent facilities inspire quality family time both indoors and out: zoom down the zip wire, make a splash in the pool and collect eggs from the chickens. However, we understand that parents need time out to relax on holiday too. Our complimentary crèche facilities, baby-listening system and games rooms ensure that children of all ages are entertained and cared for, leaving adults to chill out in the spa, dine together, stroll in the gardens or sink into a sofa and read the papers.
These are just some of the things we do to make life easy with children:
Crèche and children's activities
Each day of your stay we offer up to two hours free childcare in our Ofsted-registered Four Bears Den – suitable for babies and children up to 8 years old. There's toys galore, art equipment, dressing up clothes and Syd the goldfish (who especially loves story-time).
If you fancy a lie in, our unique breakfast club is available on Sundays and selected days during school holidays. The children will be whisked away by our friendly nannies to collect eggs from the chickens, while you curl back up under the duvet with your partner, a coffee and the newspapers.
As well as plenty of space to run wild in the grounds, there's a giant trampoline and a zip wire for hours of fun. There are also wellies, fishing nets and buckets and spades to borrow for your beach adventures.
Older children can meet friends and play video games in the Blue Room, or watch the latest movies in the cinema room.
Swimming pool
We welcome children in our 12-metre indoor pool, and have armbands, floats, noodles and pool toys for all ages. There are even poolside beanbags to flop out on for a rest, and a terrace and outdoor hot tub to enjoy on balmy days.
Children's High Tea and Family Dining
To make meal times easy, children's meals are served all day. It's up to you whether you eat dinner as a family or feed the children early and settle them into bed before enjoying a grown-up dinner. Children will love the party ambience of 'High Tea', served between 5pm and 6pm. Nannies are on hand so that parents can kickback from the mayhem and enjoy a gin and tonic. If you prefer to eat dinner as a family, we offer family dining in The Garden Room from 6pm.
Baby listening and babysitting
Once the children are tucked-in, switch on the complimentary baby-listening system and you can relax and enjoy a sophisticated dinner – sipping fine wines, sampling Cornish cuisine and catching up on much-needed time as a couple. If your child wakes up or makes a noise, the listening panel at reception will be immediately alerted. If you prefer, we can organise a babysitter – often our own nannies. Please note that there is an additional charge for the babysitting service – call us to discuss your requirements on 01726 833866.
Baby Equipment
We like your holiday to start before you've even left home, so we make packing easy. We will we liaise with you before you arrive to ensure that your room is equipped with everything you need, from cots and bottle warmers to bed guards and potties.
We can heat bottles and bring fresh morning and evening milk to your room (free of charge). Our chef is also happy to provide puréed food from 7am to 10pm.

I work for a web development firm and currently have 9 projects in the programming phase waiting for me to do them, and deadlines are flying past quickly without the projects getting done in time.
We have two designers who are underworked and just me as a developer. My boss keeps piling on the work and I don't know what to do, and they aren't happy I'm missing deadlines.
Any ideas that don't involve me working a lot of unpaid overtime?

Comments about Continental 700C Supersonic Presta Tube:
Installed Front and rear. Pumped up to full pressure and let them rest overnight. Stopped after riding 10 miles. One half hour later went to get back on bike and rear tire was flat. Replaced with 70 g tube I have used for years without problems.
When I got home checked this tube and found a very slow leak at the area of the transition from the stem to the main part of the tube. So far the front is okay. There was some twisting around the valve stem when I installed which I straightened out but it appears these are so delicate that any kind of stress can cause a leak.
Checked reviews on other sites and my experience is not unique. Unless you are very careful or incredibly lucky these tubes are a bad idea. The risk is not worth the 20 g savings.

The Tongue, the Bridle, and the Blessing: An Exposition of James 3:1-12
Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. 2 For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. 3 If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. 4 Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. 5 So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. 10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water? 12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water.
(These are notes taken during the session, not a manuscript.)
This is obviously a passage that preeminently illustrates the principle of Paul in 2 Timothy 3:16 and following:
Every Scripture is given to us for teaching doctrine, reproving us, correcting us, training us in righteousness…
The practical purpose of Scripture is to make us spiritually mature. It unfolds truth for our darkened minds, it touches our consciences in the power of the Holy Spirit and convicts us of our sin till the end of our lives.
It's one of the burdens of James that these Christians to whom he is speaking should be brought to a great spiritual maturity.
He opens the book by talking about suffering, and then talks about how the Word of God and our response to it builds us up and makes us mature.
In verse 2 of chapter 3, he says the man able to control his tongue is a perfect man, mature in his Christian life, sharing the passion of the apostle Paul to present every man mature in Christ before the judgment seat of God. In doing this, he draws on a wide variety of OT teaching, metaphor, proverb, and weaves into this passage so many ideas that we could have a whole conference on these verses.
Perhaps he has in his mind's eye the character and language of Jesus, who spoke with such grace, and yet such a dramatic cutting edge.
I want us to try to get our arms around what James is saying by doing three things:
- By walking through these 12 verses of chapter 3 to see what James has to say about the use of the tongue.
- To stand back from that and put this teaching in the context of the whole book of James, to see the practical counsel he gives to believers.
- To stand further back and see how James sets this teaching on the tongue in the context of the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ.
1. The teaching of James on the tongue in James 3:1-12
First, James addresses the difficulty of taming the tongue. He is speaking in the first instance to those who would teach. He advises us that not many of us should be teachers, because by our words we will be more strictly judged.
As he speaks to those who would aspire to be teachers, he is bringing to bear generic gospel principles. The first principle is the difficulty of taming the tongue. He begins with a personal confession: We all stumble in many ways. Perhaps he is reflecting on occasions in his own life, those first thirty years in our blessed Master's life when James had a view of everything Jesus was growing into as he grew into maturity. Perhaps from childhood he had seen Jesus grow in stature and wisdom in his use of his tongue, as he grew from holiness to holiness into his adult years. Perhaps James reflects on some of the snide comments he made to Jesus.
To be a mature Christian, you have to learn to be able to bridle to tongue.
It's fascinating to notice 1 Corinthians 15:7. It stands out as a strange incident. Jesus appears to Peter. He appears to the twelve. He appears to the five hundred at once. But then he appears to James, perhaps to bring him an assurance of power of pardon, that he who had an untamed tongue would grow to become a man whose tongue was so tamed that his words would sear us but that they would be attended with such grace for us.
This passage in James is Dr. James' light, as he looks at our tongue and sees the subtleness of its twistedness and the language that comes from it. He shows us how difficult it is in the first place to master the tongue. "The man who has learned to master the tongue is a mature man."
In a sense, James says that the thing that will make the greatest impression on the people around you is not the great things you do, how you appear on the public stage or arena, but the question of whether or not you have mastered your tongue. He engages in a rigorous analysis.
The first piece of imagery he uses is of a person able to bridle his tongue in order to bridle his body. The man who can control his tongue can control himself. When the great masters of the Christian life have reflected on this, they have reflected on this in a certain way, not by speech, but by lack of speech. The man who has bridled his tongue is not just a man who knows how to use his tongue, but who also knows when to remain silent. The man who has bridled his tongue can also move from silence into speaking. There seem to be two camps in Christianity, those who prefer to remain silent, and those who overspeak.
When James speaks about the mastery of the tongue, he isn't just speaking about the words we use, he is speaking about the sensitivity to use the words that are necessary, those that are sensitive and gracious, and then to remain silent when such silent is necessary. James' words are also intended for those who are prone to remain silent, so that they would be able to speak for the sake of the gospel.
In James 1:26, he throws out the overture of the symphony of his teaching. "If anyone thinks he is religious and cannot control his tongue, he deceives his tongue." I think it's very searching to think that my inability to speak may be an expression of my inability to bridle my tongue, and vice versa. The ability, by God's grace, to say the right thing in the right person at the right tongue in the power of the Holy Spirit in faith is a magnificent grace in the life of the believer.
Bridling the tongue is a hallmark of spiritual maturity. He says nobody has mastered the tongue finally. It is a moment by moment battle in the heart for a sanctification that is so whole-person that even the grace of our Lord Jesus is manifested through our tongues.
This, for most of us, is the long, running battle of the heart as we come together for this conference. We ought to ask each other if we are still fighting it.
2. James speaks about the disproportionate power of the tongue (1:3-5)
He uses the images of the bridle and horse and the rudder and the ship to talk about this.
When I was a late teenager, I was taken on the ocean liner Queen Elizabeth II. It was a mammoth ship. Then I was taken to see what, comparatively speaking, is this tiny rudder that guides it every which way it goes. James says this is what the tongue is like. It is so small. It has no bone. And yet it is so powerful to build up and destroy. Why does it do that? Because it carries the breath of our souls into the world in which you live.
When I was coming down the elevator, a person came in who had obviously been smoking. Each time this person opened his mouth, the air became more polluted. Why? Because this person could not but breathe out what was within. James says this is true of the tongue. And like smokers, we never notice the atmosphere we are breathing out. James says every time we open our mouths, we give ourselves away. As the KJV says, "We give ourselves away."
One of the burden of my life living in the U.S. is that people keep telling me I have an accent. I can't open my mouth without betraying my identity. It's the apparent disproportion between this tiny, little instrument and the connectedness it has to my being that I can't open my mouth with out showing whether or not I give myself away as someone who breathes depravity in the room.
Thank God for the Scriptures that encourage us to believe that our tongues can praise Jesus, bring comfort, that a sentence that we spoke a long time ago brought balm to a soul unbeknownst to us.
James says there is a disproportionate power to the tongue that it permeates everything we do.
Because his concern here, in part, is to bring us a deep-seated conviction of sin, to get under our sense of adequacy and show us our need of the grace and mercy of God, he moves on to a 3rd thing.
3. The destruction caused by the tongue
Pictures now simply roll out of James. The tongue is a small member but boasts of many things. It is a fire, set on fire by hell (Gehhena) itself. The Valley of Hinnom became the rubbish dump of Jerusalem. Perhaps this was the very place where the body of Jesus would have been thrown after his crucifixion.
James says the tongue is a world, an entire course of life.
I remember being on a plane and looking at the in-flight magazine. In the quiz in the magazine, there was a picture of the moon and you were supposed to guess what it was. The answer was in the back of the book, and I turned there, only to discover that it was really a picture of the tongue.
It's almost as if James has this picture of the tongue as a world filled with craters in which so much iniquity can lie.
The tongue is a tiny instrument that ruins everything, like a stain on a dress. The misuse of the tongue can apparently render every other grace in my life impotent. We know that it takes one single wrong word for everything we have ever done to crumble into hypocrisy.
I think, at least in those last three pictures he's using, James has Genesis 3 in the back of his mind: the poison under the tongue of the serpent, restless in his disobedience to God. Satan goes about like a restless, roaring lion, and he produces restlessness in the heart. He is a beast, and one of his chief instruments is this tiny instrument GOd has given us to praise his name.
James knows from the teaching of Jesus that this tongue can cause endless destruction. You can destroy a person's reputation by your tongue more than you can destroy their life by assault.
One of the most helpful spiritual exercises one can do is quietly meditate on the 10 commandments of God and think of the way the tongue has the capability of breaching these commandments, and you and I hardly move an inch.
Tongues that were meant to express praise remain silent in worship or are deadened in praise. On the Lord's Day, tongues that were given to speak words of love that then speak words of flattery, lust, and adultery. Tongues given to speak the truth that tell fabrications, a little less than the truth. Tongues that were meant to give, now take, take, take.
Sometimes, I wonder if the misuse of the tongue is a peculiarly evangelical sin. I've been on many occasions with brothers, and when someone's name is mentioned, the first lash of the tongue is to destroy that brother. He may not be perfect, he may have many foibles, but how dare I destroy with a word a brother for whom Christ has died within the context of fellowship with his people?
I reflected this week on Jonathan Edwards' resolutions. Here are some about the tongue:
Resolved, never to say anything against anybody except when it is acceptable to the highest degree of Christian honor and agreeable to the golden rule. Often, when I have said anything against someone, to judge it by this resolution. (#31)
Resolved, in speaking narrations, to speak the pure and simple verity. (#34)
Let there be something of benevolence in all that I speak. (#70).
In the opening chapters of Romans, Paul brings us to where our mouths are shut with guilt and shame. It's then, out of the silence before the judgment seat of God and the overflowing grace of God that I want to speak truth, grace, and love.
But James isn't finished yet.
4. The deadly inconsistency that plagues the tongue
We bless God, but we curse his image. We should never minimize these words. We should understand that the words "bless" and "curse" have little significance. These are words that describe the serious, covenantal purposes of God to bring judgment that will lead to hell or grace that will lead to heaven. Here we are, blessing God and then cursing those made in his image.
My parents used to take me to movies, usually of cowboys and Indians. In seeing many a John Wayne movie, the only words those Indians used to know were "White man speak with forked tongue." What a tragedy when that white man is a Christian believer.
What is this a sign of? By nature, our problem is that we are double-minded men, unstable in all our ways. We are like a spring giving out two kinds of water, a tree giving two kinds of fruit, etc.
James is going from Genesis 3 to Genesis 1. God made us to have dominion, not only over the external order, but also over the internal order.
Man and woman were to have dominion over the way they spoke to one another, to speak words of grace to one another.
Now, we have lost dominion so that we are reduced to the dust we were supposed to have dominion over. We have also lost dominion over this little instrument we were supposed to have dominion over.
In the Context of the Whole Book
Now, having said these four things, we might well find ourselves saying to James, "Do I have to go to the Christian bookstore to get practical counsel about how to do this?" I want us to stand back from this passage to set it in the context of the whole book to see how the James who breaks our consciences, also undergirds his teaching with the most amazing counsel about how I may grow to maturity and use my tongue well. It's a great general lesson that, at first sight, the Scriptures say very little about the how-to's. Paul doesn't do this.
James is saying that, just like Job understood he needed to make a covenant with his eyes, that is not the whole of the Biblical principle, but the application of a Biblical principle to a particular member of the body. We need to make a covenant with our eyes and our lips.
I want to walk you through the whole book of James in just a few minutes. I want to do it in the form of some Jonathan Edwards' resolutions.
Amazingly, outside of this passage, the book of James has at least 20 resolutions that need to be part of the Christian's covenant with God about how the believer is going to employ the tongue and lips, and master the heart in such a way that the beauty of Jesus is expressed:
- I resolve to ask God for wisdom to speak out of a single-minded devotion to him (1:5).
- I resolve to boast only in the exultation I receive in Jesus Christ and also in the humiliation I receive for Jesus Christ (1:9-10).
- I resolve to set a watch over my mouth (1:13).
- I resolve to be constantly quick to hear and slow to speak (1:19).
- I resolve to learn the gospel way of speaking to both rich and poor (2:1-4).
- I resolve to speak in the present consciousness of my final judgment (2:12).
- I resolve never to stand on anyone's face with the words I employ (2:16).
- I resolve never to claim as reality in my life what I do not truly experience (3:14).
- I resolve to resist quarrelsome words as evidence of a bad heart that needs to be mortified (4:1).
- I resolve never to speak decided evil against another out of a heart of antagonism (4:11).
- I resolve never to boast in any thing but what I will accomplish (4:13).
- I resolve to speak as one subject to the providences of God (4:15).
- I resolve never to grumble. The judge is at the door (5:9).
- I resolve never to allow anything but total integrity in everything I say (5:12).
- I resolve to speak to God in prayer whenever I suffer (5:13).
- I resolve to sing praises to God whenever I'm cheerful (5:14).
- I resolve to ask for the prayers of others when I'm in need (5:14).
- I resolve to confess it whenever I have failed (5:15).
- I resolve to pray with others for one another whenever I am together with them (5:15).
- I resolve to speak words of restoration when I see another wander (5:19).
Are you looking for guidelines in the gospel. Here your whole life is suffused with how God will give you this training for your life and for how you will speak. You need to resolve those things for how you will speak to others.
It would be wonderful if such resolutions were fixed in our hearts.
In the Context of the Gospel
We've walked through the passage, set it into the book's context, and now I want to set this in the context of the gospel. What is James intending to do?
He's bringing us to see the depth of our sin, pollution that so easily flows from our lips. I often think of these words of Isaiah 5,6.
In chapter 5, Isaiah has been speaking powerfully against the nations and against sinners. He goes through "Woe, woe, woe, unto you." If you have any sense of the fabric of the Hebrew mind, in reading that, you would sense that it's not finished yet.
It finishes when Isaiah sees the Lord high and lifted up.
The thing that pulls me down to size, not least as a preacher of the gospel, is that Isaiah says, "I live among a people of unclean lips, and I am a man of unclean lips. Woe to me."
His words against sinners have turned against himself. What a word to us who preach and teach. It makes you want to cry out, "O, God be merciful to me a sinner.' I wonder if your use of the tongue has ever brought you to that, that you would pronounce a woe upon yourself because you haven't used your tongue to the glory of God and aren't like other Christians who overuse their tongues. That while there is sin in other areas of your life, this one is secure. That is the very place into which sin has woven itself.
James is not only a teacher of wisdom but is a prophet of God. He brings us to say, "O, God, be merciful to me."
At the beginning of his argument in 1:18, he says, "You need to recognize that you have become a new creation in Christ Jesus." The tactic of the evil one is to say "It doesn't matter if you have abused and misused your tongue." And then when we do, he comes around the backdoor and says, "You are damned by this failure."
James says, "By his own will he has brought us forth as a kind of firstfruits of his creation." No matter how much I sin, layers of sin keep being unfolded before my eyes by the Holy Spirit. I may not be that mature man I want to be, but thank God that I am not the old man that I once was.
What a great way to think about your ordinary Christian life, that you live in this creation marred by sin, and God is bringing aspects of the new creation that will be consummated when Jesus Christ will return and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Because he has brought us forth through the word of truth, as he regenerates us, he doesn't do it in a vacuum. He does it in the context of the truth of the gospel illuminating our minds.
If that's how the Christian life begins, it's how it continues. That's how the tongue is to be transformed. The tongue has no ears. It's the heart that has ears. And as the heart hears with open ears the word of God again and again, the transformed heart begins to produce a transformed tongue.
John Piper quoted some exquisite words from some poems in Isaiah. One of them is so beautiful, that Jesus doesn't cry aloud or break a bruised reed or grow faint or discouraged in the ministry. If we ask how that was true in his life, the answer is two servant songs further along. Listen to these words: "The Lord God has given me the tongue of one who is taught, that I might learn how to sustain those who are weary. He awakens my ear to hear as those who have been taught."
The most important single aid to my abilty to use my tongue for the glory of Jesus is allowing the Word of God to dwell in me so richly that I cannot speak with any other accent. That's why it's so important to be under the ministry of the word where it's preached with grace. It's so important to get under that ministry in public and private, so that the word of God begins to do its own spiritual work in us.
We live in a time when people think that God saves us and we do the rest. We need to see that God's word sanctifies us. That the more people feed us with the Word, the more I awake in the morning and feed myself with the Scriptures, the more Christ will do his sanctifying work, the more Christ will train my tongue as his word molds me and shapes me. In that, our Savior is our exampler.
But he is not only our exampler. In order to be that, he must be our Savior.
The passage in Isaiah 50 says, "The lord God has opened my ear and I am not rebellious."
Isaiah 53 says that " he was oppressed and afflicted, and he opened not his mouth…."
Why was Jesus silent? My friends, he was silent because of every word that by nature has proceeded from your lips, which would be adequate reason for God to damn you for all eternity, because you have cursed him and his image, and Jesus has come into the world to bear the judgment of God against the sin of our tongues. When he stood before the judgment seat of Pontius and the high priest, be accepted the sentence, " Be silent," and bore in his body on the tree the sins of my lips and my tongue.
Many of you wish you could control your tongue better. You want to follow the example of Jesus, but you need to understand that he's Savior first, and then he is example.
You need to come, conscious of the sin of your lips and say, "God be merciful to me a sinner. I thank you that Jesus came and was silent in order that he might bear the penalty of all my misuse of my tongue. Knowing that he has done that, you come to him and say, "O, for a thousand tongues to sing my great redeemer's praise."
He is able to answer your prayer in a song we sing: "Be of sin the double cure, cleanse me and make me pure." All the guilt can be cleansed away, and there is power in Christ to set you free from the misuse of the tongue. You come to him and discover what a glorious Savior he is.
As I said early on, almost everywhere I go people say I have an accent. The most wonderful thing is that 15 minutes into preaching the word, no one remembers my accent. The best place outside of the sanctuary is in elevators. I get off on my floor, and people say "Where do you come from?" As the doors close, I say, "Columbia, SC" and see a puzzled look. That's a parable for what's possible for the people of God in our own time.
Wherever you are, it's not so much what you say while you're in the room, it's the questions people have when you leave the room. "Where do you come from?" This is someone who has been with Jesus. By God's grace, James says that we may so grow to maturity that we may begin to speak like our blessed Lord Jesus.

Cascade's Sellevold pitches her game
Bruins starter strikes out 10 in two-hitter as Bruins softball stays unbeaten

Cascade teammates greet Taryn Salter as she comes into home after hitting a homerun in the sixth inning.
And kept getting them out.
Despite a loud Jackson team cheering in the dugout, Sellevold was not rattled. The Cascade pitcher struck out 10 batters and allowed just two hits as she helped lead Cascade to a 5-0 win over Wesco 4A South rival Jackson Tuesday afternoon at Cascade High School.
"She's been on fire," Bruins' head coach Kelly Ross said. "The biggest thing that impresses me about her is she keeps her composure no matter what's going on. As you can tell, their bench was deep and it was loud and she just stood in there and pitched her game. She's been extremely strong on the mound this year."
Sellevold was in control the whole time. She only walked two batters while Jessica Roy and Sophie Frost were the only Timberwolves batters to get hits off Sellevold.
The Cascade pitcher also helped herself out on offense, batting 3-for-3 with a double and two runs scored.
"She's contributed the whole year," Ross said. "Her first three games she had home runs in each game and she's continued to be strong both offensively and defensively."
The defending Wesco South champions also got a solid offensive outing from Taryn Salter, who batted 2-for-2 with a double and a sixth-inning solo home run. She had two RBI and a run scored.
The victory kept the Bruins (4-0 league, 9-0 overall) undefeated this season. Cascade knows teams are focused on handing the Bruins their first loss, Ross said, adding that her players have done well handling the added pressure.
"We knew it would be a tough game and we knew they were going to come out and fight," Ross said of the Timberwolves. "The girls know they have a target on their back so we knew we had to come out and we had to play our game."
While Jackson's offense struggled against Sellevold, the Timberwolves' defense also had some difficulties. Jackson, which features one senior and five freshmen, committed four errors in the game. That, combined with seven Cascade hits, was not a winning combination for the Timberwolves.
"It's not a good recipe for success," Jackson head coach Kyle Peacocke said. "? We'll get better. We'll continue to work and it's a good lesson for us."
Two Cascade runners scored on errors, including one Bruin batter who reached base because of another error.
"We made some defensive mistakes throughout the game that costs us some (runs), but we learned some things about ourselves," Peacocke said. "Those (errors) were huge. Especially (in) playoff-type games, you have to be able to play solid defense. We are young and we're still working some things out. We made some mistakes today."
Frost pitched a solid game for the Timberwolves, striking out seven Cascade batters. Frost got the umpire's attention in the first inning of the game because of some yellow writing on her glove. There is a new rule this year forbidding yellow on gloves because it is the same color as the ball. Frost had to use another glove until she could get the yellow writing blacked out.
"It could have rattled some young pitchers and (forced) them to make some changes," Peacocke said. "? I think she did pitch a good game, and defensively, if we cleaned up those things, it would have been a different situation. I thought that she maintained her composure and didn't let it rattle her."
The Timberwolves (2-1, 5-3) were without starting second baseman, and reserve pitcher, Juliana Faulconer, who injured herself in a suspended game against Mariner on Friday. The junior sprained her knee in a collision with a Mariner baserunner.
Both Faulconer and Peacocke hope she'll be able to return in about a week to a young Jackson squad that seeks to continue to its fast start to the season.
"They're a great team," Ross said. "They have tons of potential. They're going to be hard to beat. We get to see them again, and we'll look forward to that, but they're young and they have a lot of talent."
In the rematch, set for May 6 at Jackson, Peacocke and the Timberwolves might hope to see another pitcher besides Sellevold take the mound.
"She was on today," Peacocke said. "She was getting ahead of hitters, mixing up locations, mixing up her speeds. She pitched a very good game. I was impressed."

JON CARDINELLI writes the poor execution of the kicking game as well as indecision with ball in hand contributed to another disappointing Springbok attacking performance.
Even if the weather was fair, you wouldn't have bet on defence-oriented teams like England and South Africa playing an adventurous brand. What would have been expected was a high level of accuracy, and a degree of consistency that may have allowed either team to build some defence-compromising momentum.
It was not to be, as England and South Africa delivered attacking performances of the lowest order.
Only one try was scored in this contest, and even that was down to luck rather than sustained pressure. The Boks enjoyed many a venture into English territory, but their poor hands, lack of accuracy at the breakdown, and shocking decision-making culled many a promising movement.
Ultimately, it was a ricocheting ball that fell favourably for the try-scorer Willem Alberts. It was a big moment in the game, with Pat Lambie converting the try to extend South Africa's lead to 10 points.
But just as the Boks had struggled to build and finish their opportunities, they made a pig's ear of closing out the match. Their halfbacks put them under pressure with some territory-costing mistakes, and the visitors were fortunate that this very poor England team was not able to capitalise.
Ruan Pienaar had one of his worst Tests in a Springbok shirt. Some may argue that the conditions made it difficult to control the ball or kick tactically with any great accuracy. But it wasn't just Pienaar's execution that was at fault, but his decision-making as well.
Pienaar's first attempted clearance was charged down by the English. Why he didn't pass the ball to Lambie, who was safely back in the pocket, only the scrumhalf will know.
Pienaar struggled to recover from that early blunder. He made another mistake when a subsequent clearance failed to find touch, and England were allowed to counter-attack given nobody had chased the kick. The end result was a penalty goal for Toby Flood.
The Bok scrumhalf would miss touch again after an England kickoff, and again this handed the hosts possession and territory. It has been a successful tactic in the past, but on this occasion, Pienaar battled to get sufficient hang-time on his box-kicks, and the chasers were rarely given an opportunity to compete and reclaim possession.
Pienaar was consistently poor, while Lambie was just inconsistent. The conditions weren't conducive to throwing the ball around, but there were several attacking opportunities deep in English territory where Lambie made the wrong decision to grubber, chip and skip pass.
Things didn't go the Boks' way at scrum time, but the lineout was in fantastic form. While the forwards blew hot and cold at the attacking ruck, there was enough momentum created in English territory for the Boks to have scored several more tries.
England were not only poor with ball in hand, but in front of goal as well. Flood missed two kickable opportunities early on, and that ensured that they didn't get full reward for their territorial dominance. It also ensured that a couple of Pienaar's errors went unpunished.
The Boks overplayed the kick-chase tactic. There was a clear example where Pienaar unleashed Francois Hougaard down the left hand touchline, and then followed in support. When Pienaar collected a pass from Hougaard, he then decided to launch the garryowen. It was but one of many instances where the Boks surrendered possession cheaply, and another example of their lack of synergy.
Lambie produced some neat touches in the second stanza, with some well weighted probes earning the Boks good field position. Unfortunately, the Boks could not keep the ball for more than a couple of phases before knocking on or conceding a penalty.
Unsurprisingly, England's best try-scoring opportunity was from the counter-attack. Pienaar collected one of the many wayward England lineout feeds and found Lambie in support. Ruck ball was recycled quickly, but the Boks failed once again to make this chance count.
Instead, a pass landed in the clutches of England centre Manu Tuilagi. The Boks were fortunate that England's skills let them down later in the movement.
England enjoyed more and more chances as the clock wound down, and again, Pienaar and Lambie were guilty of a brain explosion apiece.
The Boks had a scrum on their own 22, and Pienaar showed a poor appreciation for the laws by kicking the ball dead. Lambie then contributed with an elementary error, sending a kickoff into touch.
There were other players who underperformed and lost their concentration at key moments of this contest, and not all of the blame can be laid at the halfbacks' door. However, the Boks are fortunate that England did not capitalise on the majority of Pienaar and Lambie's mistakes.
It was a performance that would have done little to advance either player's cause for a permanent starting position.

Today the Joint Economic Committee is holding the second of two hearings on how taxes affect America's economy. This hearing focuses on the taxation of labor. The first hearing on April 17th focused on the taxation of capital.
My goal, as Vice Chairman of this Committee, is to ensure that America has the strongest economy in the world throughout the 21st Century. To do that, we must get our monetary policy right, get our fiscal policy right, get our regulatory policies rights, and open new markets to U.S. exports.
A sustainable fiscal policy requires more than just closing the trillion dollar gap between federal spending and federal revenues. A sustainable fiscal policy requires economic growth.
A growing economy improves our fiscal outlook by increasing federal revenues and reducing federal spending relative to the size of our economy.
Sadly, however, economic growth and job creation is lagging under President Obama. To understand how poorly our economy is performing compared with its potential, let's look at this chart and compare the big government-oriented Obama recovery to the free market-oriented Reagan recovery:
• From its low point in February 2010 following the recent recession, the Obama recovery produced private sector job growth of 4.0%. Over the comparable time-frame, the Reagan recovery far eclipsed the Obama recovery with 10.1% private sector job growth.
• If President Obama had the same growth rate of private sector jobs as President Reagan enjoyed, we would have over 6 ½ million more jobs today – that is more than one job for every two workers currently counted as unemployed.
• From its peak in October 2009, the unemployment rate has declined by a meager 1.9 percentage points under President Obama. Over the comparable time-frame, the unemployment rate dropped by 3.4 percentage points under President Reagan.
• Under President Obama, the average real GDP growth rate has been 2.4% over the 11 quarters following the recession. Over the comparable time-frame, President Reagan delivered an average real GDP growth rate of 6.1%....

Harvey's Career Day Lands Her Player of the Week Honors for Women's Basketball
January 8, 2013
HIGH POINT, N.C. - Pfeiffer University's Christina Harvey (Locust Grove, VA) has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas Women's Basketball Player of the Week during week six of the 2012 – 2013 Basketball season. Harvey gives Pfeiffer their second-straight Player of the Week after pouring in a career-high 32 points, 25 in the first half, to help lead the Lady Falcons to their fourth-straight win sliding past Erskine 79-66 resuming Conference Carolinas play on Saturday afternoon.
In the first 20 minutes, Harvey scored her 25 points on 12-of-16 shooting (75%) with a long-range three and seven rebounds to secure a 45-28 halftime lead. Harvey continued her dominance into the second half before concluding with the 32 points and 11 rebounds for the double-double. The senior also added three assists and three steals to complete her attack.
Pfeiffer as a team would set a new school-record for 26 assist in the 13-point victory. Harvey shot 65% from the field going 15-of-23 playing in all 40 minutes. Harvey and the Lady Falcons will look to continue one of the best starts in school-history at 8-1 traveling to Belmont Abbey on Tuesday before heading north to King on Saturday night.
