The Spiritual Problems of Rejecting Tradition
Many Protestants have a hard time understanding what the Ancient Jews, Orthodox Jews, Reformed Jews, the Early Christians, the Eastern Orthodox, and the Catholics mean when they speak about Holy Tradition. To the Protestants, Holy Tradition is simply a collection of questionable stories, myths, false and/or new doctrines, unbiblical and/or anti-christian teachings, and works-oriented rituals. As they would say, "If it's not written in the Bible, then it must be false." Hence, Protestant analyses of this issue are often filled with pre-conceived notions and biases, which limit Biblical studies to the doctrines of men living in the 16th-17th centuries, since a serious distrust of the Ancient Jews and Early Christians, even of people who were disciples of the Apostles themselves, is vehemently enforced as doctrine. As a result, Protestants not only misunderstand Tradition and insult the integrity of the Ancient Witnesses by elevating their own versions of theology above the original Apostolic Faith embraced by the Early Church, but their Bible studies also suffer since they cannot totally relate to the theological context, the spirituality, and the content of Scripture. This causes them to have many difficulties in comprehending why anyone would accept and believe in something that "isn't written in Scripture".
Protestants have such a difficult time with the issue of Tradition because they are inflexibly fixated on the idea that only what is written in Scripture can be true. Though this statement sounds like a self-evident truth, since the Bible is from the Holy Spirit and the teachings of men cannot compare to God's own words, Tradition has never been regarded as a man-made supplement to the Bible until Martin Luther invented this doctrine in the 16th century, or rather, he created his own version of a similar heresy of the Sadducees in Christ's time. So this premise has no Biblical and Apostolic basis. Moreover, millions of Orthodox Jews for 3000 years before Luther and millions of Orthodox Christians throughout the world for 1500 years before Luther had all read the Bible and none of them had ever discovered in Scripture the belief that the Tradition of the Prophets and Apostolic Tradition, if in the Bible or not, was contrary to Scripture and/or inferior to the Bible, as though Scripture had condemned the total concept of Holy Tradition. In fact, all the Ancient Jews and Early Christians openly proclaimed and were able to prove from Scripture and Sacred History that Holy Tradition, if from the Prophets or the Apostles, contained the words of God Himself for the sake of preserving the most correct understanding and intepretation of Scripture, as well as providing the most holy instruction leading to spiritual perfection. In the case of Christianity, the Gospel began as oral Tradition, parts of which were later recorded in writing and then were collected to comprise our New Testament (NT). But it was always known from observation that the oral Gospel contained many more teachings and involved doctrines which were never written in the NT, such as the Holy Trinity, the decisions on which books should or should not be accepted as Biblical, among other concepts. The Ancient Jews and Early Christians also made a clear distinction and/or were fully aware of false traditions, new traditions, corrupted traditions, and man-made traditions which competed with the Holy Tradition established by the Prophets and/or the Apostles, all of which were the direct cause for many of the ancient debates and theological disputes which took place in Sacred History. For this reason, Protestant assumptions about Tradition begin with flawed premises, which are man-made doctrines themselves, and faulty research, or lack thereof, all of which influence their interpretations of Scripture to the point of being theologically opposed in some cases to Scripture and actual witnesses of the Apostles in Early Christianity.
The Protestant belief that the recognized Tradition of the Prophets and of the Apostles came into existence long after the Prophets and Apostles and was man-made and inferior to Scripture is itself a man-made doctrine. The Ancient Witnesses and Scripture itself nowhere taught such a concept and they instead consistently made a distinction between Holy Tradition and man-made tradition. But Martin Luther rejected this ancient and Biblical distinction and intentionally confused the issue by teaching that Holy Tradition was no different from man-made tradition, due to his extremist reaction to a number of Catholic distortions of Apostolic Tradition, which began in the 9th century. Thus, Protestants no longer wanted to discern between the two, and they believed Luther's new doctrine that only the Bible can be the spiritual standard of God's words and that all previous traditions must be false.
This is why Protestants have such a hard time understanding Tradition, because they are totally unaware of the well-documented, universal, consistent, historical evidence supporting the belief that the Prophets and Apostles had established Holy Tradition and that it had been perfectly preserved with the texts of the Bible over the centuries without additions and subtractions, and with no spiritual deviations in doctrine. Protestants also cannot comprehend how the Ancient Jews and Early Christians could have been able to distinguish and maintain a distinction between the Holy Tradition and any false traditions which eventually appeared, yet at the same time Protestants can fully understand how the Ancients kept a distinction between true Scriptures and books claiming to be Scriptures. This inconsistency in thought is the result of selective logic which guides Protestant theology in reading Scripture and the Ancient Witnesses, thereby causing a distinct separation between Protestant spirituality and the spirituality of the Ancient Jews and Early Christians. This separation between the Protestant spiritual culture and the spiritual culture of Sacred History creates a serious blindness for Protestants in perceiving spirituality in the same way as the people of Apostolic times had done. For instance, Holy Tradition has always instructed Jews and Christians to pray and worship according to a more mystical spirituality, whereas Protestant spirituality is much more limited and superficial in its various methods of prayer and worship. Since the Protestant spiritual culture does not and cannot experience the same spiritual things that the Ancient Jews did, they cannot fully recognize certain aspects of the Bible's spirituality, nor all the theological messages which the Prophets and Apostles had intended to convey in Scripture. Instead, the words of the Bible are often made to fit Protestant spiritual expectations rather than viewed in the spiritual context of the Ancient Witnesses.
Despite Protestant misconceptions, the spiritual commentaries of Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity provide for us the truest context by which the spirituality and teachings of the Bible can be understood. In fact, the writers of the Bible expressed spirituality and theology according to the perceptions and assumptions of the writers of Sacred History and vice-versa. It was not the case that the Ancient Jews and Early Christians were forcing their own spiritual expectations into Scripture and recording these ideas, as though the Ancient Witnesses were evolving a different spirituality from the Prophets and Apostles, thereby implying that the Bible's writers somehow presented theology in a way more closely aligned to Protestantism. But rather, these Ancient Witnesses were imitating the spiritual perceptions of the Prophets and Apostles in their commentaries. There are no indications to suggest otherwise. The Bible does not reflect a Protestant spiritual culture and theological dimension. The Bible is purely a product of an ancient spirituality which differs in many ways from Protestantism. This is something that Protestants simply cannot or will not understand, though it is critical for any true interpretation of Scripture and the details of its words. The Bible both condemns false traditions and yet it also promotes Holy Tradition, as the Ancient Witnesses even relate. Thus, a distinction between Holy Tradition and false tradition is what Sacred History reports for us and this is the only logical indication for what the Bible teaches on this subject, since there is no significant factor saying otherwise. It is not because Holy Tradition forces this interpretation on Scripture, but because the Prophets and Apostles had established Holy Tradition, and their successors faithfully preserved it as the truest means of understanding the original messages intended for God's people.
Since Apostolic times, there have been no councils condemning Holy Tradition, no debates disproving it, no Biblical or spiritual objections to it, no evidence against it; indeed, the idea that Tradition is evil was never believed by anyone until Martin Luther invented this idea and turned it into a doctrine of Christ. The only exception to this historical observation is the fact that the Sadducees of Ancient Judaism also made this doctrine a fundamental belief. But because they relied only on what Scripture says, they could not believe that there was life after death, since the Old Testament (OT) does not clearly teach this idea. They are a classic example of what spiritually happens when Holy Tradition is refuted and rejected for the sake of accepting only what the Bible says.
The Sadducees' misinterpretation of the Bible reveals that the rejection of Tradition is a dangerous spiritual dogma. If Tradition, which forms the standard by which Scripture should be interpreted, cannot be accepted with Scripture, then the Bible can be interpreted in any way anyone desires. For example, Calvinists read the Bible and to them the Bible says that there is no free will, that is, humans have no power in choosing Christ or Satan; God simply creates some people to go to Heaven and others to go to hell. Anyone who disagrees with this interpretation of Scripture, such as mainstream Protestants, according to Calvinists, are disagreeing with Scripture because, as they see it, Scripture says that God predestines souls for Heaven or for hell. Despite the fact that the first witnesses and disciples of the Apostles, the Early Christians, learned from the Apostles that Scripture does teach that humans have the free will to choose either Christ or Satan, and many Protestants agree with this, Calvinists condemn the Early Church and certain Protestants because their doctrine of free will supposedly contradicts Scripture! The idea that Calvinists are contradicting Scripture does not occur to them because the Bible says what they want to see in it. Similarly, mainstream Protestants read the Bible, and as far as they are concerned, Scripture says that only the Bible can be Holy Spirit inspired, that Tradition is extra-biblical and therefore of human origin. Despite the fact that the Early Christians unanimously and universally declared that Scripture speaks of a written and oral Gospel from the Holy Spirit through the Apostles for all generations of Christians, Protestants oppose the Apostolic witness of the Early Christians because they are supposedly contradicting Scripture. Thus, Protestants see in the Bible only the things they want to see in it! Both the Calvinists and mainstream Protesants of modern times read the Bible and yet they come up with totally different observations of what the Bible alone supposedly says, even possessing completely different perceptions to things that none of the Early Christians had ever noticed from Scripture or Tradition. Nevertheless, the Early Christians and their modern namesake, the Eastern Orthodox, as well as the Catholics, read the same Scriptures and yet the Bible says to them that Holy Tradition is Biblical and historically Apostolic! Now, how can the Bible say all of these contradictory things if the Bible's truths are self-evident and require no tradition to understand them?
These few samples of major contradictions reveal a serious problem for the doctrine of rejecting Tradition. Strict readings of Scripture without the original Apostolic standard of interpretation to guide the reader lead to misinterpretations, misconceptions, inconsistencies, inaccuracies, new doctrines and traditions, religious divisions, and flawed conclusions. False traditions interpreting the Bible have taken place again and again throughout history. In Early Church times there were cults preaching that Jesus was not born God, but that He later became God at some point during His ministry, and then God forsook Him on the Cross. They read the Bible and that is what Scripture can be made to say. The Bible does not specifically say that Jesus was born God, only that He was God at some time in His life. In fact, there is a verse where Jesus refutes the idea that He can be good because only God is good. So, as far as this ancient theology was concerned, the Bible says that Jesus was not born God, but that He became God later on in His life. This is precisely what the Sadducees had done to the Bible, and it is similar to what all Protestants do. The Bible can be made to say anything people want it to say, and any theology can appear reasonably consistent, especially if the historical, personal, and spiritual contexts of the Bible's writers are ignored or adjusted to conform to the new interpretations.
Creating arbitrary boundaries for interpreting Scripture, that is, reading it according to a certain man-made standard and not the traditional standard of the Apostles, ignores the historical and spiritual context of its writers. This always leads to religious division, confusion, and new traditions, as is happening today in Protestantism. For instance, Calvinism did not originate only from Scripture; it came from a man with an agenda to replace certain traditional beliefs with his own interpretations of what he wanted the Bible to say. His ideas became codified and eventually gained a following, which over time became human traditions formed into doctrines of Christ. Also, Protestantism did not originate only from Scripture; it too came from a man with an agenda to replace certain traditional beliefs with his own innovations. Enough people agreed with him, codified them in theology and practice, and over time they became human traditions formed into doctrines of Christ. Thus, it is quite ironic that the Protestant rejection of Tradition actually became a new tradition. The same is true for any church, any cult, and any reformer. Each denomination and each system of theology is by itself a tradition which originates from somewhere, if from the Prophets, the Apostles, modern reformers, or various cult leaders. Each church has its own historical stories, its own rituals, its own Biblical interpretations, its own religious hierarchy, its own patterns of worship, its own historical tradition, its own spirituality, its own theology, and so on, as an equal spiritual authority to Scripture. This is what Tradition is and this is what it will always be. Therefore, when the Sadducees, Protestants, and cult offshoots from Protestantism reject the general concept of Tradition itself, they have not only espoused an unbiblical and historically heretical doctrine, they are also following a self-refuting belief by rejecting in theory what they themselves accept in practice. This leads to contradiction, arrogance, and ignorance, for the Bible's own historical and spiritual Tradition is dismissed for the sake of new traditional beliefs and practices interpreted into Scripture and assumed to be part of the Bible. This leads to a vast amount of spiritual problems not only for all Christians but also for individual souls.

Yes, You Can Dance With Her
Dancer-turned-actress Briana Evigan says all you need is attitude
By Carolyn Kylstra, December 18, 2013
Actress Briana Evigan can move it on the dance floor—hip-swiveling, booty-popping, all-out-sexy move it. She's been a dancer since she was 7. Gave lessons for years. Performed her own routines as the star of Step Up 2. And yet when you see a woman like her shaking it at a party or a bar, remember this: "I don't date dancers," says Evigan, who stars in Sorority Row. "But I've always wanted to teach guys how to dance." Catch that? If you're willing to try keeping up with a woman on the dance floor—and to look like you're actually enjoying it—she's happy to do the rest. Here are the 22-year-old's tips on wooing her as the music thumps.
Catch her eye
A man once told Evigan she needed glasses because she wasn't looking at him. That bombed. "I'm not shy," she says. "If I like a man, I'll have crazy eye-sex with him from across the room." Even in a crowd, she says, you can hook a woman's interest with a confident look. Then move in.
Follow her lead
When you approach a woman on the floor, do it from the front, not the back, she says. "It's cool. You can even occasionally put your hand on my waist. But don't come any closer unless I make the move first." She's there to have fun, after all, and doesn't want the pressure.
Shake it loose
On the floor, Evigan is looking for a man to keep the mood light—without being self-conscious. So just let it go. "I think it's incredibly cute when a guy can't dance and doesn't care about how crazy he looks," she says. Her top advice: "Move your arms with your body. Go crazy."
Slow it down
Most slow dancing morphs into what she calls "hug dancing." But it shouldn't start that way. Begin in a formal position—right hand on her hip, left hand holding hers up by your shoulders. It's a safe move, and she'll think it's charming. Then see where she takes it.
Repeat, but closer
If a woman you're dating drags you out onto the floor, start some sexy, semipublic moves. "Rub up against each other, play around with it," Evigan says. That shows the kind of confidence that'll rev her up—on the dance floor, and later.
"If I like a man, I'll have crazy eye-sex with him from across the room."

Talk:Endurance Geohashing
I would love to do this, but I'd have to move to a different graticule, where I wouldn't need the underwater camping skill. --Robyn
Could clarify "All destinations". I'm assuming what is meant is that you have to visit all 7 locations in your graticule for that week. --18.104.22.168
[edit] Sounds like fun, now what exactly is it...
Do we know who created this achievement? I'm already considering making it my summer holiday, but I would like to develop the achievement a bit more. Juventas 23:25, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
- I think that the description still stems from the time when visits in neighbour graticules weren't imaginable. I would suggest it to read "reach one geohash every day", instead of "all destinations". That would allow to travel a bit more (or less) while doing this. -- relet 23:40, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
- Contrary to the rumour, I did not personally invent this achievement. I think I made the ribbon image and there's a good chance that I created this particular page but it would have only been to transcribe and flesh out the achievement, from the old days when all the achievements were listed on one page. It was almost certainly intended by its creator as a joke, but no, Juventas, you're definitely not the first to consider making a vacation out of it. I've been mulling for a while over the best graticule to try it in. I agree with Relet that it should be acceptable to reach one geohash per day, not restricted to a single graticule. I would, however, feel that the spirit of the achievement had been somewhat slighted if the person drove several hundred miles each day just to get to the easiest geohash, instead of slogging through woods and swamps and up mountains. But it would still be a glorious vacation. Pick a [starting] graticule and a date and we'll give it a go. -Robyn 03:54, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
- Well, here's how I see it: You are not restricted to a single graticule, and you have to launch at least one expedition per day. Coordinates do not have to be reached. This makes the achievement less about strict guidelines and more about camping and dedicating the time. If you really spend a week geohashing without going home and give a full effort, (and have seven entertaining writeups), this achievement is yours. I am very strongly considering doing this option for my spring break. I would start on Sunday, March 1st and finish on the 7th. I will keep you guys updated... --Woodveil 04:39, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- My opinion - An attempt must be made to reach the coordinates. If you fail by mother nature or private property, camp nearby. Thus the spirit of the achievement is maintained. I think we need to get that geohash SMS up and running, though - otherwise you have to return to a nearby internet access 4 days out of 7. --Thomcat 06:11, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- I've already agreed below, but now I'll play devil's advocate. Can I do the endurance geohash in a graticule that has only the tiniest tip on the shore, and just camp on that beach for a week? Can I do it by driving to the closest approach to each one by road and saying that it was too hard to go through the bush? Probably yes, we just accept that there will be different levels of awesomeness in doing this achievement, as there are in all geohashes. I was thinking of doing an endurancce geohash in ... nah, I won't give it away. -Robyn 06:34, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
That improves the achievement, and discourages trespassing when day six comes up and it's in a frigging military encampment. We should edit the achievement page to make it clearer what camping is required. Are we allowing wussy camping with an RV? Are we allowing motor vehicles at all for this achievement? Can you check into a motel if the geohash is in an urban area where camping is prohibited? -Robyn 05:16, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- This achievement is both exciting and difficult to define. We seem to agree with the spirit of it however. Something to keep in mind, the participant will have the whole day between hashes. I bring this up for two reasons. Strict rules would have to be created for where you are allowed to go and what you can do. And on the positive side, if the coordinates are indeed blocked by nature or property, you have lots of time to scout around.
- We could define the "camp out" area as a radius x kms from the coordinates, and if blocked, x kms from the closest reachable point. If there is a place to stay (hotel, b&b, a barn, etc) within the radius, you could stay there. It wouldn't always be glorious--in urban areas without an accommodation, you would be required to do exactly what the homeless are forced to do.
- What kind of proof of closest reachable point should be supplied? -Robyn 02:56, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- If it's a weekend, you should be able to camp either at the geohash, or at some reasonable place en route to the next day's geohash. -Robyn 02:56, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- So, back to the time in between. No going home and such. What about food? Vehicles or bikes would no doubt be needed. Stay out of all buildings (besides your accommodation)? RVs... I suppose, but they won't help when there's no road within your radius. Lastly, perhaps we could consider a different value of days? Say 3 or 5, but only as a minimum required for any claim of the achievement. Juventas 08:40, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'd vote for an endurance consolation prize "wimped out after only X days geohashing without returning home".
- If you're geohashing in a graticule that contains neither roads nor a source of food, then (a) you are seriously hardcore and (b) you have committed to bringing a week's worth of food. You can however cache some of it at a centrally accessible location. -Robyn 04:56, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- What do you mean by source of food? If you have to stay out of buildings, that technically leaves you with drive-thru windows and cart vendors? It wasn't what I had in mind. I also don't want to leave out the cyclists who couldn't pack 7 days of food on them. *sigh* Juventas 09:13, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- I would scrap the "stay out of buildings" part. For example, what if you need to restock on food somewhere, or need to buy a new jacket after your first one is damaged in a raptor attack? Or what if the campground has a visitors center with information and a neat little nature exhibit? Certainly you should be allowed to go inside. I don't think the achievement needs to specify what you do between hashes, only that you may *not* go home. --Woodveil 14:44, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Some sort of restriction on where you can stay would be in order, like limiting it to a certain distance from the hash for that day (or the following day, where it is known in advance, like at weekends or places east of the 30W line). Else you could claim the award simply by staying at a friend's house all week. The Camping Geohash award specifies 1km; this one needn't be quite so restrictive. How about 10km? That gives you about 3% of the graticule to choose from when finding accommodation. -- Benjw 20:28, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Actually, I have to claim the invention of this achievement to myself. I conjured it up about the time I had done my first Geohashing trip back when this was all new to me. I never thought this page would survive long enough to be taken seriously, so I never got to re-defining the "rules" of this achievement. You guys seem to have done something about it, though. My original idea was pretty much the same as Thomcat it already put it - you have to at least try to reach the coordinates and if it is impossible, camp nearby. Camping would be required in the nearest possible location, wherever that might be. I do admit, this achievement is probably easier to achive in where I live (Finland), because we strictly enforce the freedom to roam and we have a lot of suitable places to camp in. Also, we have pretty comprehensive GSM/3G/3,5G network covering the whole nation, so planning your trip from your campsite (eg. with a laptop) isn't impossible at all. Motor vehicles are, for my point of view, allowed, but it does add awesomeness to it, if you would walk or cycle to your next point. I see that you should bring as much food and water with you as you can, but you could resupply if needed. Eating in a McDonalds or similar isn't allowed. I was just got back home from the Army when I figured this achievement out, please understand me. I hope that a) I used this conversation page correctly and b) someone can make something out of my reply. :) --Peldie 18:12, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- Peldie, yes, you used the page perfectly and I'm delighted to see the creator of the award return (and prove it wasn't me!) I also like your wording about cars being allowed, but not using them "does add awesomeness." I don't think we should put strict limits on where you stay, because some graticules are fully urban and you'd be forced to stay in a hotel or get arrested.
- You're adding:
- Motor vehicles are allowed, but it adds awesomeness if you don't use them.
- No eating in restaurants: carry your own food; resupply from grocery stores or foraging is permitted.
- I'll add those to the "agreed on" if there are no objections. -Robyn 15:38, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
[edit] What we seem to have agreed on
Delete and explain if you don't agree with a point below.
- You don't have to reach all seven points, just get as close as reasonably possible.
- All seven geohash attempts need not be in the same graticule.
- The accommodation rules are not as strict as the Camping Geohash, permitting any accommodation within whatever we decide the scope is.
[edit] Ribbon Image
I thought that this achievement could use a higher quality ribbon image. I made this, what do you think?
- * I'm totally in favour of a higher quality ribbon image, which yours is. I like the effect of the tree going outside the border. I made the existing one with a touchpad in MSPaint. My concern is that the "guy at a campsite with a laptop" is lost at the 44 px scale of the ribbon (shown below). Yours looks smaller than the original because you didn't crop the image down to the edge of the picture, but I think even if you did, guy with laptop would still be a scribble at that scale. Can you keep some of the beautiful trees and make laptop guy more visible? -Robyn 02:18, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- * P.S. Keep this picture to be on the page, but find something more iconic for the ribbon.
Is that better? --Woodveil 04:40, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, yes! -Robyn 04:58, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- As I upgraded the ribbon I thought, 'I liked the tent being bright red better than brown.' What do you think?
You got it, I also turned the camper around so hes easier to see. I like the look of the new page. --Woodveil 05:33, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- You're right, he is easier to see that way. It improves the composition, too. Now I want this ribbon even more.
- BTW if you want to apply your talents to improving another ribbon, MNB Geohash has a terrible one, with a passable concept: weather + terrain + wild animals, but too much detail to see at ribbon level, and substandard drawing skills. -Robyn 05:51, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
I like the new icon, good work! I especially like the border-defying trees. If you don't want to do a new MNB ribbon image, I'll do it. --Ilpadre 06:45, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- I look forward to it! -Robyn 06:48, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
I just updated the MNB talk page with a new ribbon. Check it out. --Woodveil 02:33, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
I am desperate to win this award, but it will be at least 6 months until I have enough leave saved up to take a week off...Bugger. I am now contemplating quitting my job in order to hash more efficiently, is that bad? -- UnwiseOwl 03:30, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, that's bad. You need to get a job where they send you to the geohash for work. -Robyn 04:29, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

More than 700 cities across the world either have an active Occupy demonstration going on right now, or they're planning to start one on October 15th.
But there are still members of the 99% who don't realize why people are occupying, and aren't sure whether they should join or not.
That's why media crowdfunding platform Loudsauce has launched a campaign to raise funds that will be used to air the below Occupy Wall Street commercial on cable television.
From the Loudsauce campaign page:
The mainstream media doesn't get it. They're trying to discredit the #occupy movement as bunch of uninformed extremists who don't know what we want. But, we know who we are and we know what we want: we're a big, diverse movement that's fighting for an economy that works for all of us, not just the top 1%.
When we hit our fundraising goal, we'll be able to put this video on the air during popular cable TV shows (like Seinfeld repeats or Sports Center). It will run just like a normal ad.
We've already seen that the mainstream media is reluctant to report on the Occupations in a fair and balanced manner. Attempts to incite violence, mock, suppress and discredit the thousands of hardworking Americans that have dedicated their time and resources to supporting this movement continue every day.
It's time to show the 1% that contrary to popular belief, they don't control the media. Just because they refuse to acknowledge it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. With your help, the revolution can be televised! Bringing this commercial to cable television will guarantee that millions of Americans are exposed to the struggle and start to ask questions about what's happening.
And then it's up to us to answer them.

It's about time it happened! I had been telling people for a long time, you are the people and you have the right to take this country back (from the lackey politicians who work for the very rich). If we have to have another revolution, so be it!
Hopefully, these demonstrations will continue to spread across the US, and continue on, to become America's "Arab Spring." Our American Autumn.
We are well past our time for renewal, to paraphrase Thomas Jefferson, "change is our right, our responsibility."
People, lets take America back from the 1%, they are trading on your future. These people are traitors to the true American way. Let us see heads roll.
The question is, since the 1% didn't respect the 99% yesterday, what efforts will be needed for us to call upon. Can we get there with non-violence, god knows the 1% doesn't respect Non-violence, not in a violent world of their own making.
"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent. " Thomas Jefferson
Recall all Republicans!
I'm very much in sympathy with the OWS movement but they need more focus on specific issues. While they're garnering headlines the Tea Partyers are getting their (actually the Koch Bros.) legislation passed. I don't agree with everything Obama does but he's a damn site better than any of the Republicans. Although I do give Ron Paul credit for his opposition to the military industial complex and drug laws but he's wrong on almost every other issue.
And the truth shall set you free.
Looking for help I wish to quote More success may come from naming and shaming the politicians, business leaders and companies making piles of money by moving jobs to countries overseas, and out of the other side of their mouths, demanding lower taxes and denouncing President Obama as an economic simpleton. The US long championed the globalization model that it now blames for its woes. Hypocrisy is also at play in how Mr. Bernanke and his Chinese counterparts are embroiled in a race to the bottom. Its pretty evident that a weaker dollar is part of US policy, so they are hardly in a position to throw the first stone. Even though China overtly manages its currency, a stronger Yuan isnt going to bring back the jobs American companies willingly exported. Perhaps the real indignity for Washington is that, as it ponders a trade war with its biggest creditor, Beijing is winning the currency war. American lawmakers facing re-election next year will find China a convenient scapegoat for bad economic data. For all its growth, Chinas model isnt benefiting the world as some had anticipated. Market access, not exchange rates, is the critical issue. Thank you, Mr. William Pesek for a better perspective.
I signed the petition. This movement must not die. For it to continue, we must all participate. The republicans are hoping this will quickly die, so they can hold power and continue to support their masters, the corporate special interest.

Washington's McKenzie injured in victory
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Washington running back Shai McKenzie was carried off the field in the first half of a game against Charleroi on Friday with what appeared to be a sprained knee.
"He made a cut and just fell," Shai's father, Sean McKenzie, said. "His knee popped to the side. We thought it was serious, but as of now no major surgery is needed."
Shai McKenzie led the WPIAL with 2,689 yards and 41 touchdowns a season ago and is considered by many recruiting services to be the top-ranked running back in the state. Currently McKenzie has 30 NCAA Division I scholarship offers.
On the three previous times McKenzie touched the ball against Charleroi, he scored touchdowns. He rushed for 166 yards in the 66-10 win.
Sean McKenzie said "it's a tremendous relief" that it's not a torn ACL and thinks his son could miss the next two games — against Yough and Jeannette, the latter being televised on Root.
"They said it was just a sprain," Sean McKenzie said. "But we won't know for sure until we see an orthopedic surgeon this week."

'Public figure' status addressed
A Utah Supreme Court ruling Friday may have been good for former KTVX Channel 4 television health reporter Holly Wayment, but bad for her profession.
Wayment had sued her former employer, accusing former bosses Jeff Fischer and Patrick Benedict of making false statements about the circumstances of her resignation from the station. Third District Judge Stephen Henriod had dismissed the defamation suit last year.
But the high court justices revived a portion of the case, overturning Henriod's finding that Wayment was a "public figure." Public figures must prove statements made about them were both false and malicious, a higher standard than other plaintiffs face.
While the decision was good news for Wayment, Salt Lake City attorney Randy Dryer says the court's definition of a public figure could mean more libel lawsuits for reporters.
"It's been very hard for a public figure to recover against a reporter because of the additional burdens," said Dryer, who represented the station in the appeal.
"Now the pool of public figures is going to be dramatically lessened. To qualify as a public figure under the court's ruling here, you basically have to be a household name, a celebrity type."
Dryer said he sees the ruling as part of a national trend of courts eroding journalistic protections.
Wayment claimed rumors were spread that she was paid by the Huntsman Cancer Institute, which she frequently reported on. Wayment has said she only proposed to the Institute that it help with the creation of a charity that would match volunteers with child cancer patients.
Henriod had ruled Wayment was a public figure, and dismissed the complaint saying Wayment's witnesses could not prove her defamation claims.
On appeal, Dryer argued Wayment was a public figure in part because she was marketed by the station and known to thousands of viewers for her reports and charitable roles in the community.
But on Friday the justices said Wayment did not rise to the level of an all-purpose public figure by nature of her profession or notoriety. She likewise did not qualify as a "limited" public figure by injecting herself into any high-profile controversy, they said.
"If we were to accept these facts as sufficient evidence of general fame in the local community, any reporter would likely qualify as an all-purpose public figure," wrote Chief Justice Christine M. Durham.
The ruling sends the case back to trial for Wayment's claims against Benedict and Clear Channel Broadcasting, Inc. The justices affirmed the lower court's dismissal of her claims against Fischer.
An attorney representing Wayment was not immediately available for comment.

By BERNIE WILSONAP Sports Writer
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn has died of cancer at 54.
Gwynn's sweet left-handed swing made him one of San Diego's best-loved athletes. He was nicknamed "Mr. Padre" during his 20-year major league career.
He had been on a medical leave from his job as baseball coach at San Diego State, his alma mater, since late March.
Agent John Boggs said Gwynn died Monday in suburban Poway.
Gwynn had two operations for cancer in his right cheek between August 2010 and February 2012. The second surgery was complicated, with surgeons removing a facial nerve because it was intertwined with a tumor inside his right cheek. They grafted a nerve from Gwynn's neck to help him eventually regain facial movement.

From the beginning, everything was so uncomfortable.
Just 19 years old, graduated from high school, pretty clueless about fire, and I'm walking into Superintendent Paul Cerda's office, having recently been allowed to join the Alpine Hotshots, one of the most respected fire crews in the country.
Walking into Paul's office that first day to report for duty was a unique experience. I was thinking: I'm so excited, but is this really what I want? Is this going to last me? Is it the right year, or in my case, was this the right time for me to be doing this? All of these questions were racing through my head. But ever since I was young, being a Hotshot was all I ever wanted to do. So, there I stood in Paul's doorway, ready to work.
It's like heading from middle school straight to college. It's a huge jump, and not many people get to do it. I came on a pay period early so that I could familiarize myself with the environment, and I worked with some of the permanent employees prior to the seasonals' arrival. Just as I began to get used to the schedule and how things worked, suddenly, the entire crew came rolling in. I thought I was going to have a heart attack! My chest was pounding. My palms were sweaty. My mind was like a freight train with no brakes. I had tons of thoughts, and I couldn't stop them. What were they going to think? How would they react? Then 0900 came around, and one by one, crewmembers began walking in. As each individual entered, I could feel the energy that came with them, and I could tell they carried with them high standards and even higher expectations. I thought that when the opportunity came, I would introduce myself, and then sit down and just observe their interactions with one another, see how they communicated.
Briefing started at 0930. Crewmembers were welcomed back, someone read the weather forecast, the situation report, and six minutes for safety. Then, we began introductions. We went around the room, and crewmembers stated their names, number of years on Alpine, and past experience. I found that most of the crew had tons of previous experience. What's more, most had been on Alpine for more than three years. Then it came to me. No more sitting back and observing. No more thinking and thinking. Now, it was my turn to introduce myself. "Uhhh...Rafael McLeod, 19 years old, just graduated. NO FIRE EXPERIENCE." That was hard to say in front of a crew of highly trained fire fighters, a group I was trying to join and work with. Fortunately, we got right to business. I survived. We carried on with training, pack testing, and classwork, all necessary to begin the fire season as a Type One Hotshot Crew.

Celiac, Gluten Free, Hair loss???
In my wildest dreams, I never thought being gluten free had anything to do with hair loss. I was diagnosed with Alopecia in early 2005. The dermatologist had no prescription for hair regrowth other then to have massive shots of Cortizone injected into my scalp. And he couldn't guarantee whether it would even work. Waaaa!!! You've got to be kidding! I was not interested. Six months later, after a lot of online research, I asked my internist to test me for Celiac, as my sister had been diagnosed with it about 8 years before but her doctor never suggested the rest of the family be tested, so we all figured we had dodged the Celiac bullet. My Celiac diagnosis was confirmed in November 2005. By blood test, with further confirmation by endoscopy in January 2006. That was all I needed to know. I went completely 100% gluten free. I wanted my hair to grow back. I wasn't even thinking about how bloated I'd been FOR YEARS. I always assumed everyone felt like a stuffed boar every time they ate a bagel or pasta or pizza. It was my normal. All I cared about at the time was my vanity. I was crazy gluten free. Not a crumb passed my lips. It took the better part of 3 years for my bald patches to regrow. Is it completely regrown? No, but I'm totally fine with where I am now. It is about 80% regrown and the parts that are still bald are hidden by my hair, thanks to my wonderful hairdresser. You can read more about it here. I am certain that the combination of steps I took for my healing are what made all the difference. 1. I went completely 100% gluten-free. No exceptions. 2. I began eating a very clean diet. It didn't happen overnight but gradually my diet has become very clean. What does that mean? I eat very little packaged foods and most of the food I eat comes from the perimeter of the grocery store. I'm VERY creative and love cooking, and that helps, for sure. I plan my food/meals like it's my job. Why? I want to be healthy and safe. 3. I take a probiotic And digestive enzymes every day. 4. I take Lifelong Vitality supplements (Lifelong Vitality Pack) from Doterra every day. Though I only started taking them in the last year, I can tell you that they've put me over the top and have made all the difference. 5. I slowed down. I learned to take deep, cleansing breaths. I use doTERRA Essential Oils as part of my healing regimen. 6. I made getting enough sleep a priority, and I use my doTERRA Essential Oils EVERY SINGLE NIGHT to make sure I sleep well. 7. I do a detox every season. I have an online detox (Detox With The Diva) coming up which you are welcome to join. Make sure you've signed up for my email list in the right sidebar and you'll be notified as soon as it is launched. If you have any questions, email my team at [email protected] I am very happy, very confident and quite sure that this path I am on, as a result of the steps I've taken over the last 8 years, is responsible for it. It did not happen overnight, but little by inches I've made changes that have made me feel like a new woman. And guess what? I get compliments on my hair every single day. P.S. I just reread my post and realized that I focused alot on doTERRA Essential Oils. That's because I consider the oils an essential part of every part of my daily routines. I've never found a better, reasonably priced, more natural approach to healing. And they smell good, to boot!

MASSENA A peaceful cross-border protest is expected to shut down traffic on the Massena-Cornwall International Bridge for several hours Friday morning.
Protesters will gather at 9 a.m. at the Mohawk Nation Longhouse on Route 37 and march in protest of the actions and policies of the Canada Border Services Agency.
Rick H. Saaltink, general manager of the Seaway International Bridge Corp., said local police agencies will close the bridge for the duration of the protest, as it wouldnt be safe to mix traffic and pedestrians.
Mr. Saaltink said he expects large numbers of tourists and commercial travelers to be affected by the protest, since Monday is Victoria Day, a federal holiday in Canada, and many Canadians may seek to cross the bridge Friday to get an early start on a long weekend in the U.S.
The march, organized by the Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs, is in protest of the relocation of the port of entry from Cornwall Island to Cornwall, Ontario; identification requirements at the port of entry, and long-standing grievances claiming racial profiling and harassment of Mohawks by CBSA officials.
Since the imposition of the Canadian port of entry within Akwesasne Mohawk Territory, the Kanienkeha:ka have experienced and endured racial harassment and mistreatment, the denial of Haudenosaunee citizenship, arrest, and the confiscation of property by the CBSA, according to a news release from the Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs. Since the port of entry was relocated to Cornwall four years ago, this mistreatment and abuse has intensified.
Calls to the Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs were not answered.
Mayor James F. Hidy said that while he was sympathetic to the cause of the demonstrators, closing the bridge is not the right thing to do. Any closure will impact commerce, a fair amount of tourism and the people who navigate back and forth for work, Mr. Hidy said. I think the timing is just not right.
Mr. Hidy said he had met with tribal leaders since the last march on the bridge and had sent two letters to the Canadian government supporting the efforts of demonstrators.
In my opinion, they are not asking for more than what could probably be resolved, Mr. Hidy said.
Supervisor Joseph D. Gray also urged the Canadian government to address the concerns of Akwesasne residents. Mr. Gray also thanked demonstrators for making the community aware of the four-hour march and for pledging to try not to exceed that time frame.
Shannon Burns, communications manager of the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne, said that while the council is not involved in organizing the march, it is supporting the efforts of demonstrators.
The Mohawk Council also supports the efforts of the Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs to relocate the port of entry from Cornwall to the U.S. side of the bridge, according to Ms. Burns. She said the relocation has put a significant inconvenience on Cornwall Island residents traveling to the U.S., who must drive to Cornwall to check in with the CBSA before they can turn around and drive back south to their homes on the island.

|New York vs
|113 - 105
|Record: 33-49
Jamal Crawford made seven 3-pointers and scored 36 points, and the Knicks came from behind to beat the playoff-bound Washington Wizards 113-105 Wednesday night.
"We are happy where we are at, but we don't have that playoff tenacity and that playoff personality," said Wizards coach Eddie Jordan, who benched Antawn Jamison early and rested his starters in the fourth quarter. "It's a challenge, it's the first time for us. It's the first time for me as a head coach. We're going to work our butts off and just find out a way to do it."
The Knicks were the ones playing as though there was something at stake.
They didn't lead until 1:48 remained when Maurice Taylor posted up Etan Thomas, hit a short jumper and drew Thomas' sixth foul. Crawford followed with his seventh 3-pointer with 1:06 left, and the Wizards were forced to foul. The Knicks set a team record by hitting all 26 of their free throws, including seven by Crawford.
"You're only as good as your last game so you definitely want to leave a good impression," Crawford said. "Did you see those fans, how they were cheering? It was like a playoff atmosphere."
That's as good as it gets for New York, though. Stephon Marbury added 20 points and seven assists for the Knicks, and Michael Sweetney had 16 points and 13 rebounds.
"The only thing we can do is get ready for next season," Marbury said. "Once we get the mixture of players that can come in here and do the things that are needed to win ball games, I think my game will totally change. I think it will go up as a matter of fact."
Gilbert Arenas scored 25 points, but neither he nor Larry Hughes played a minute in the fourth quarter as Washington rested up for its first-round playoff series against Chicago, which starts Sunday.
"We just don't have that defensive swagger," Jordan said. "But playoff basketball is half-court lockdown. We don't have that personality right now."
Kwame Brown added 19 points on 7-of-8 shooting and Hughes had 16 points for the Wizards, who are a No. 5 seed going up against the fourth-seeded Bulls.
"I don't want to say something to get them all jacked up," Jordan said. "They deserve the fourth spot, we're the underdogs and we've got to go in there and finally have to say to ourselves we have to scratch and fight an opponent that can beat us.
The Knicks cut their deficit to 88-87 with 10:30 left when Jerome Williams started the scoring in the fourth quarter with a pair of free throws. But Washington's reserves looked like they'd preserve the lead when Steve Blake drove baseline and found Thomas slashing for an easy dunk, and Brown scored on three straight possessions to push the lead to 95-87.
Knicks interim coach Herb Williams dismissed talk of his future. "I know I'll get up tomorrow, the sun will probably be shining. We'll figure out the rest from there," he said. "I've never been in this situation before. I've been with this organization for a long time and they've always been good for me." ... Wizards F Brendan Haywood did not play after bruising his left knee Tuesday against the Nets. ... During an ugly stretch for both teams, Knicks F Trevor Ariza missed three straight open fast-break layups. ... Jamison played only six minutes in the first half and 17 for the game. ... The Wizards lost their last four road games.

Vikings promote receiver Rodney Smith to 53, Bishop to injured reserve
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
The Minnesota Vikings announced the inevitable move to injured reserve for linebacker Desmond Bishop, who suffered his second season ending injury in as many years when he tore his ACL on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.
Practice squad receiver Rodney Smith has been upgraded to the 53-man roster and safety Brandan Bishop has been signed back to the practice squad after getting released in the final round of cuts on Aug. 31.
Smith, 23, is an undrafted rookie free agent out of Florida State that played high school and college ball with rookie cornerback Xavier Rhodes. He's the second undrafted rookie to make the 53-man this year after fullback Zach Line started the first three games in Jerome Felton's absence.

Taipei—To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of China as it shares the spirit and culture of Taiwan brand names, the Ministry of Economic Affairs' Bureau of Foreign Trade organized its first "Top 100 Taiwan Brands" activity to serve as a milestone for the development of Taiwan industries and to launch a new era for the development of Taiwan brands. The event received warm support and responses from all quarters with nearly 500 firms signing up to take part in the competition. After seven months of careful consideration, judges selected the winners of the Top 100 Taiwan Brands competition, announcing the results today (26 July). Standing out from the crowd, MSI, along with TSMC, HTC, and Acer, was named one of the Top 100 Taiwan Brands. A number of prominent individuals, including Executive Yuan Premier Wu Den-yih, Minister of Economic Affairs Yen-Shiang Shih, and TAITRA Chairman Wang Chih-Kang, were present at the awards ceremony to express their congratulations to award recipients.
MSI brand value recognized
The Top 100 Taiwan Brands' selection criteria are quite rigorous and include a first "screening" stage and a second "evaluation" stage. During the first stage, judges consider primarily financial status, industry position, brand management, and brand achievements. The second stage is a very rigid process with finalists appraising each other, business and consumer surveys, and interviews with leaders of opinion. MSI Marketing Manager Samuel Chang explains, "MSI recently received the Gold Award, the highest of the Taiwan Excellence Awards. The winning of a Top 100 Taiwan Brands award this year further affirms the MSI brand name as a standard toward which other firms strive. Not only does the award represent a nod from business, government, and academics alike, it also underscores the extent to which consumers enjoy and trust MSI products. Most importantly, it serves to affirm the hard work MSI has put into brand management and the heights of its resultant achievements.
Leading technology the driving force in brand management
Since its establishment 25 years ago, MSI has remained a leader in technology, boasting a defect-free rate of 99.6% due to the stringent quality control measures that accompany its production process, far exceeding the industry average. To enhance its competitiveness, MSI began managing its own brand name and has continued to expand its ambition in terms of product R&D, developing motherboards, graphics cards, and servers as well as industrial-use, all-in-one, and laptop computers. In recent years, it has further focused its R&D capabilities in such cutting-edge technologies as robotics, cloud computing, and vehicle data systems. MSI is a long-time leader in technology and because its insistence on innovation and differentiation in brand strategy has proven effective, its various product lines have won over consumers and members of the media the world over. It ranks among the top three names for motherboards and graphics cards, among the top ten for laptops, and among the top five for all-in-one PCs around the world.
MSI has been building its own brand for a number of years and a number of its products enjoy large shares in their perspective markets worldwide. It has also received awards from around the world, including Taiwan's Excellence Award, Japan's G-Mark Design Award, and Germany's iF Products Design Award. In line with its brand spirit, best described by its motto "Innovation with Style," MSI continues to insist on innovative design, while focusing on the development of new technologies as it strives to provide consumers with user-friendly products that can become important parts of their lives.

Shipping the Solaris kernel with the GNU tools might have made sense. Generally the GNU tools are slightly better than their Solaris equivalents, but they will all run on Solaris (AFAIK).
It would have been really interesting to be able to compare GNU/Solaris with GNU/Linux.
That's interesting news, and thanks for pointing it out. Why have we not seen articles about it?
Just one question: why the heck did the people who built this make up a name for it? "Nexenta"?? WTF is that supposed to mean? If it's GNU/Solaris, why not call it GNU/Solaris?

What Federal debt default could mean for you
Reporter: Craig Smith
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Federal finances like the debt ceiling debate and the chance of a Federal default may seem far removed from your own but they could have an impact.
With nest eggs still scrambled by the recession, it's only natural people are worried about how the debt ceiling conflict could affect what's left of their assets.
So many people have predicted financial disaster if the country defaults on it's debt, we asked financial adviser Dean Greenberg how individuals can defend themselves.
KGUN9 reporter Craig Smith asked Greenberg: "If I'm worried about my investments, I'm worried about my savings are there any sort of defensive moves I should be doing right now?"
Greenberg: "If you're really worried about what's going on then you probably need to just take money, keep it on the sidelines and wait to see what happens. The problem that you're going to get is one way or the other they're gonna get this resolved, they're gonna pay the bills and that's gonna be a relief rally when the markets go up who's gonna be quick enough to get back in, especially if you're dealing with mutual funds and stuff."
Greenberg recommends diversifying your investments among a range of options well suited for conditions over a few years, not a single incident like the debt dispute.
Because a federal debt default could run up credit costs for many Americans, we asked mortgage broker Mark Tronziger of Fairway Mortgage how a default might affect the biggest debt most people even take on: their mortgage.
He says current fixed mortgages would not change but a default could raise rates for new mortgages from a quarter to three quarters of a percent---enough to drive some home buyers out of the market.
Tronziger says, "The home buyer pool out there could start to dry up and the amount of buyers that we currently have could potentially freeze or start to diminish. If that was to happen it would be an unfortunate occurrence in our efforts to try to get out of this recession because as we know, housing kind of got us into this recession and most economists believe housing is gonna get us out."
Tronziger says if there's a default and if you have an adjustable rate mortgage that is about to adjust, your rate may kick up higher than you expected.
If there's a default, you could expect car loans to cost more. And your credit card interest would go up. Your best defense there is to keep you balance low, but that's always good advice.
But everyone we've talked to predicts there will be an agreement that heads off default and all these jitters will go away before long.
