Social Connects
Two weeks ago, I began a three-part seminar on hermeneutics, an introduction to biblical interpretation. Part One of the seminar was entitled, "The Bible is Alien to Us," and introduced participants to the translation process and comparing English translation approaches, introducing participants to the historical and cultural context of the Bible (i.e. the ancient Near East), and introducting participants to some of the literary elements of scripture (e.g. genre, metaphor, idiom, and myth).
Last week, I taught Part Two, entitled: "We Read the Bible Through Lenses," and introduced participants to Social Location and to a "Community Hermeneutic."
This week, I taught the third and final session of the seminar, entitled: "The Bible is a Story that Points to Jesus + Love." In this session, I introduced a Narrative approach to interpreting the Bible, a Greg Boyd's "Cruciform-centic hermeneutic," an ethical reading of the Bible (i.e. a "Hermeneutic of Love"), N. T. Wright's "Five-Act Model," William Webb's "Redemptive-Movement Hermeneutic," and a hermeneutic I develop called, "Kingdom Air Hermeneutic."
For PDF versions of the manuscript and slides, see my Academia.edu account:
Hermeneutics 101, Part Three: The Bible is a Story that Points to Jesus + Love (Manuscript)
Hermeneutics 101, Part Three: The Bible is a Story that Points to Jesus + Love (Slides)
Last week I finished Part One of a new seminar called "Starting Points,"
"Christian faith does not require a person to check their brain at the door. No, Christian faith is strongest when one's head and one's heart are in agreement. We may not find all the answers for which we search, but there are some critical starting points in our quest."
"Christian faith does not require a person to check their brain at the door. No, Christian faith is strongest when one's head and one's heart are in agreement. We may not find all the answers for which we search, but there are some critical starting points in our quest."
I recently joined the pastoral staff of New City Church of Los Angeles, and one of my responsibilities is teaching a seminar on three of the most important questions about Christian faith: 1) Who is Jesus? 2) Why did he die? and 3) How can I trust the Bible?
We're calling the seminar Starting Points.
One of the best things about being a blogger is reviewing books. And if enough people visit your blog, authors and publishers will send you books to review! This is particularly great when the books that I'm sent are books I'm excited to read. The next crop of books I'm reading to review might be my best yet. So here are 10 books I'm reading (or have already read) to review in 2015:
People are not their positions. Positions are ideological affirmations a person holds at a given time, but which a person can also renounce or just grow out of. If you have been journeying on a theological pilgrimage for any significant amount of time, your positions have no doubt evolved. If they haven't, I would question how critically you've examined those beliefs, and whether you've interacted with the best alternative views.
Some Christians think God became a Savior only after the historical crucifixion of Messiah Jesus of Nazareth. For these Christians, God is not a Savior essentially, but incidentally. "Saving" is an activity God could do without; it's not something God "has to do." God is a Savior as a result of historical events, not because it is who God is in God's very nature. If humanity has not sinned, Jesus Christ would not have been 'necessary,' and God would not be a Savior.
Depending on your theological perspective, this belief could either appear common sensical or absurd. If you're coming from a Western, conservative, evangelical (Protestant) perspective, you likely find the belief that God became a Savior obvious. And it might be equally obvious that this is why Christians should worship God—because God has saved Christians by the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus. This makes sense to Western Christians because of Western culture. It is the individualism of Western culture that distorts salvation history into God's "plan of salvation" for humanity. And it is the consumerism of Western culture that makes God's praise about the salvation humanity has received."God does what God does because of us, and we worship God because of what we get from God."
Western Christians will argue that they hold this view for two important reasons. First, they claim that this view preserves and secures God's "freedom." They argue that were God a Savior in God's very nature, God would not be "free" to not save humanity. They claim this would introduce "necessity" into the nature of God. Second, they claim that it safeguards salvation as a gracious gift from God. Were salvation not something which God could have withheld from humanity, salvation would no longer be "grace" (a gift) freely given. Thus, they speculate that God could exist without communicating salvation.
However, in chapter 5 of The Trinity and the Kingdom, Jürgen Moltmann directly confronts this conception of God in a section called "The Doxological Trinity."1 He makes several arguments, which dismantle this view, rooted in Scripture, the tradition of the Church, and the doctrine of the Trinity.
Heaven and the Bible are all the rage at the movies right now—as if Hollywood producers are just now realizing that there is money to be made in religion. I've already written about the string of comedies about the "biblical" end times that came out last summer, and a Left Behind remake is due out in October [sigh]. I walked past a local Red Box machine the other day and 4 of the top 10 featured rentals were about religion or the Bible: 'Noah,' 'Heaven is for Real,' 'Son of God,' and 'God's Not Dead.' Not to mention Ridley Scott's 'Exodus' is due to premiere this December, and some movie I can't stomach the trailer for called 'Christian Mingle' (don't Google it, you'll thank me later).
So it's no surprise Aaron McGruder, creator of The Boondocks (one of my all-time favorite shows!), has gotten in on the action with a new show on Adult Swim called Black Jesus. As many others have already pointed out, McGruder isn't the first in pop culture to depict Jesus as black, and he isn't even the first to depict Jesus as a pot-smoker. However, there may be more to McGruder's comedy than critics have recognized. Sure, reviews have been predictably mixed, ranging from the now obligatory "conservatives are up in arms" reports to the "calm down people, it's a comedy" reviews. But I predict, not unlike The Boondocks, McGruder's 'Black Jesus' will be packed with astute social commentary.
I'd just like to offer a few initial thoughts on Black Jesus through my hip hop hermeneutical lens, with an eye in particular toward racism.
My wife, some friends, and I have been reading Brian Zahnd's new book A Farewell to Mars: An Evangelical Pastor's Journey Toward the Biblical Gospel of Peace. We've only just started reading it, but already we've been challenged and inspired.
Since today is July 4th, and no doubt some of the US Americans who will be celebrating the birth of the United States today will be self-professed followers of Jesus, I wanted to share this Public Service Announcement from brother Zahnd in the form of an epic poem that will rock your socks off.
The THEO GRAFF PODCAST is a show about faith, theology and how they intersect the various cultures in our world. In particular, Theo Graff is an outflow of the life and ministry of T. C. Moore, an urban minister deeply influenced by hip hop culture. For more about T. C., check out his personal website.
We've finally arrived at the fifth and final installment of this series on the 'politics of impassibility,' looking deeply into an important book: Mañana 1 by world-renowned, Hispanic theologian and historian Justo González. Be sure to check out the rest of the series (one, two, three, four).
In part four, we drew readers' attention to the ninth and tenth chapters of Mañana: "On Being Human," "And the Word Was Made Flesh" respectively. Part four focused on chapter nine and so we'll now turn our focus to chapter ten.

AR Rahman's 'Nenjukulle' from Kadal trending in YouTube, facebook
The song 'Nenjukulle' from Rahman's forthcoming venture 'Kadal' has already racked up over 163000 views on YouTube. Other staggering statistics include 44000 likes on FaceBook and over 139000 views on the MTV website where this was recorded as part of 'Unplugged'.
Rahman thanked his fans on his microblogging site ""OMG... OMG... Didn't expect such kind of remarks for our MTV Unplugged event. Thanks so much for all your love."
The movie Kadal is directed by Mani Ratnam and stars debutants Gautham and Thulasi. Nenjukulle was sung by Sakthisree Gopalan. The singer's previous credits includes the title song from 'Jab tak hai Jaan' (another movie that has music from A.R. Rahman)

As buyers begin to demand better metrics on both ad fraud and viewability from publishers, the definition of how to measure ad fraud keeps changing. Like viewability, fraud numbers can vary depending on the third-party monitor. And if you've ever seen a rat on a charged grid stop moving because of operational neurosis, you know that marketers won't unleash the biggest budgets unless they have some standards with which they can feel comfortable.
The only thing that will change all this is greater transparency

Walking the aisles of CES, I noticed some audio equipment and telephones that were made in a style that recalls the Forties and Fifties without exactly mimicking a particular item. This reminds me of all the Rivendell Bicycles styled bikes popping up bikes that are made to look vintage while still taking advantage of more modern features.
At CES, I was walking by the Haier booth when who would call out my name but Hilary Crowley, my favourite booth girl from Interbike? She's worked the bicycle trade show the past couple years for Bianchi. But she's not all show and no go! She's got plenty of racing cred on a bike, and in fact her team is sponsored by Bianchi. This year they're running those special edition Bianchis in Ducati motorcycle team red colour.
I've been hearing a lot of talk about how bikes aren't the zero-environmental footprint vehicles they might seem. Petroleum based chain lubes have got to figure somewhere on the list of environmental impact (for a bike), along with tire manufacturing, plastic parts, and various other sundries.
Thinking of reducing your bike's environmental impact? Ernestolube's 100% soy oil, US grown according to their site. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, and I've got to admit there's a little light that goes off in my head every time I get a whiff of the bottle of my favorite petrol-lube.
Ernesto's not the only game in town, Pedro's Chainj is made from good old Canola, and I'm pretty sure the enterprising among you can find source of similar oils at your local grocer.
Cross-posted from Textura Design, a video featuring models, scenes from the CES Blogger party, Bloghaus, and a folding bike in the Intel booth.
It took us an hour in a car the day before to get to CES and under 5 minutes on a bike. At the door, I folding the bike up, and walked right into the booth. Then later, out of the booth, unfold, and off to a ride.
I commute most days. I've become accustomed to a much smaller commuting population in the winter months, but this year there appears to be a pretty solid lift in numbers. As I wind my way out of downtown at night there's a pretty steady stream of folks working their way along the bike-friendly routes.
Last night, as I was cruising up Eastlake I rolled up on a guy and greeted him with an "evening" as I passed him. Not a second later I got a big, "Hey BikeHugger!". I had my green kit on and the guy (Mike) was a reader. He started commuting this summer and has been diligent about sticking to it. He lives up past UW by Sand Point and has been commuting home most every night (he takes the bus down in the morning). He's lost 20 pounds and says he's never felt better. Very cool - and sort of exciting to see that the Hugger is getting recognized!

Petmate Fresh Flow Pet Fountain
posted 7 years ago
We used ours in FEMA trailer. It was always getting dirty, but the trailers are hard to keep clean. I've put it away until the house is done to try it again. The cats seemed to love it.

Petmate Fresh Flow Pet Fountain
posted 7 years ago
Love the fountain! Our cat loved his water to be "moving" and would kick the water bowl around the room spilling it all over. Since purchasing the pet fountain, no more wet floors! Only drawback is that hair often clogs the pump intake. Simply to remedy, but would be better if filter system were redesigned to filter before entering the pump. Still highly recommend this unit!
Pros: Silent
Cons: Hair clogs pump too easily

Sir Elton John is best known for helping craft a handful of the most memorable melodies of the past 30 years. Well, he's known for that and the world's most flamboyant collection of sunglasses. Now, for the second time, John has stepped in with significant investment in the soccer team he grew up rooting for, English Championship side Watford. The difference is that this time, instead of bankrolling the team out of his own pocket, he's proposing funding the team's summer transfer targets by holding a concert at the team's stadium.
(Watford's new strike force, brought to you by this guy.)
According to the WATFORD OBSERVER, John pitched the idea after being re-named "Honorary Life President" of the Watford Hornets on his 62nd birthday last week, and he immediately pitched the concert idea as a way to re-create an incredibly successful — and similar — idea from 2005, when John hosted a gig at the team's Vicarage Road ground and helped raise a whopping $2 million+. Now, instead of using the money to help fund the team's stadium advances, John explicity wants the money to go toward signing new players.
It's a bit like Jon Bon Jovi holding a concert to raise money for the Phillies to sign a new free agent pitcher. It's the kind of thing we just haven't seen before, and you'd have to say that Elton John is just about the last person you'd think would usher in a trend in sports funding.
Will the concert raise enough money to help Watford move back up the Championship ranks? Who knows. The team is in the middle of a bleak season, and it'll doubtlessly need 10-20 times the money John can raise in a single show.
(John's last Vicarage Road concert.)
But it is a start, and an inventive one at that. Hear that Bruce Springsteen? It's your move, Bruce. Just pick a show to dedicate to your team, and send the money along. Providing Springsteen's team isn't the Yankees, of course. That would just be cruel and unfair to all humanity.

The other day a rusty North Korean ship was caught in the Panama Canal with an illegal shipment of early Cold War vintage armaments bound from Cuba to the Stalinist state.
The vessel carried an ostensible cargo of Cuban brown sugar in thousands of sacks, but its crew, though armed only with sticks, offered a curiously violent resistance when the Chon Chong Gang was boarded by Panamanian marines, acting on Western intelligence, to end a five-day standoff.
Under the sugar was found the parts for a 1950s-era Soviet SA-2 missile-defense system. �We�re talking old,� said one expert. �When this stuff was new, Castro was plotting revolutions.�
On July 3, North Korea�s top general visited Cuba and may have arranged for Pyongyang to fix up the antiquated system, more for fraternal financial assistance than for any genuinely useful military need. The sugar may have been payment to Pyongyang in advance for the work.
Today both Cuba and North Korea are poverty-stricken dictatorships desperate for hard currency. �Business deals that look silly to us don�t look ridiculous to them,� arms-trafficking expert Hugh Griffiths told The New York Times.
The Cold War may be over (mostly). But that two of communism�s remaining �systems� are reduced to this sort of comic-opera enterprise should not cause the Free World to relax its vigilance. It was the democracies� communal eye on such serious nuclear proliferators as North Korea that uncovered this commerce in the first place. The cargo could have been much more sinister.

All diplomatic roads with Afghanistan and Pakistan run through Iran, so what does the nuclear deal mean for US relations with those countries? Also, refugees and their first moments in America are captured on film. And, poetry slam in Amman, Jordan.

Photographer Gabriele Stabile spent six years photographing refugees' first nights in the US, then following up with them after they'd been here for a few years. The result is a book called "Refugee Hotel," and an exhibit by the same name now up at the Bronx Documentary Center.

Ukraine is backing away from its plan to join the EU and that has spurred mass demonstrations. Russia is against Ukraine having free trade relations with Europe, and Ukraine's president says his economically-struggling country needs to maintain its important trade ties with Russia.

Afghanistan and Pakistan have occupied central roles in American foreign policy for the last decade — and some role long before that. But their influence may well wane if relations between the US and Iran continue to improve.
Violence is increasing in the Central African Republic. And now, its former colonial overseer, France, is talking about an intervention.
France is sending 1,000 troops to the Central African Republic on a peacekeeping mission to help avoid a genocide. New Yorker staff writer Philip Gourevitch says it's part of a broad effort to re-establish its sphere of influence and reputation in Africa.
There's a slam poetry underground in Amman, Jordan, and it's mainly filled with women. A Jordanian woman brought the art form home after studying in the US and winning slam poetry contests there.

In roughly one and a half months' time, "The Strong Race" will take place for the seventh time. This year, in the 3rd May, a day before the Restoration of Independence of the Republic of Latvia Day, the strongest people will gather in the cinema town of "Cinevilla" to prove their bravery, capability, and ability to beat difficulties in an unusual environment. All participants of "The Strong Race" are like a big family where everybody will give each other hand in the hardest moment, and will always help.
The participants of "The Strong Race"
In the recent years, "The Strong Race" has been among the most populated sports events in Latvia, gathering more than 6000 participants. It proves that this country has a lot of brave and driven people who are ready to take part in this race for Latvia, showing the real national unity strength. Following the organisers' statistics data, students from almost every university and college in Latvia will participate in the race. Many municipalities also support their people who want to take part in "The Strong Race" to promote interest in active recreation and sports activities in fresh air. For example, Kocēni district municipality has invited their people to participate in "The Strong Race" to represent their area for several years by covering the participation expenses. The interest is large since more than 50 people used this opportunity in 2014. We should also note that people from Nītaure parish, Tukums, Kuldīga, Krāslava, Saldus and other districts actively take part in this event. Currently, about 20 municipality teams will compete for the title of the strongest municipality.
Many teams from Latvian companies and organisations take part in the team division of "The Strong Race". In 2014, 519 teams out of 920 were from companies that use this as a teambuilding event to unite their staff and escape the usual daily life. Some good examples are "Latvijas Finieris" that has used this opportunity since the very beginning, SIA "Bucher Municipal", SIA "Toode", SIA "Transcom Worldwide Latvija", but the most teams have come from "Lattelecom".
In the recent years, this event has become international because not only participants from Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia take part, but also people from 20 different countries round the world including England, Ireland, Mexico, the USA, Thailand, Russia, Finland, Sweden, Germany etc.
The anticipated changes in 2015 event
For the first time, the "The Strong Race" participants can run in mass start or the elite group, depending on their wishes and fitness. Professional athletes and those ready to compete for prized positions may find the elite group more suitable. The rest are invited to join the mass start. These changes have been made to split participants in several groups and lessen the holdups in the whole track and at some obstacles. Following the participant advice, the track configuration will be changed in 2015 – there will be less running in swamp and forest, and there will be less water obstacles, and a shorter track. The mass start track is estimated to be about 8 km long with 25 obstacles, while the elite group track will be 1 km longer and will have 33 obstacles. The start and finish location has been changed to provide participants with better conditions and service availability.
For the first year, anybody can purchase a VIP ticket for an additional charge which includes different extras. We should mention that the awarding ceremony will again take place in the 4th May in Riga, but the potential winners will be congratulated with flowers and tokens on the event location.
"The Strong Race" practices
For the second year, there is a plan to organise "The Strong Race" practices in open air to duly prepare the participants for this extreme event in the lead of a professional coach. They will take place in every week of April but further information will be released shortly both on the website and social networks, and individually to the participants.
"The Strong Race" is an event anybody will learn to beat themselves, test their strength and understand that there is no "can't". This event has been created as an alternative to escape the monotone life pace, even more boring gym schedule and dull long distance tracks.

What's the outlook for the 2014 Senate elections? The Republicans once again have a chance to overturn the Democrats' majority, as they did in 2010 and 2012.
Much attention has been focused on whether Republicans this time will nominate candidates capable of winning key races, as they failed to do in those two elections. But another interesting question is how Democrats will try to hold onto seats in Republican-leaning states even as Barack Obama maintains his strong tilt to the political left.
The lineup is certainly favorable to Republicans. Assuming the New Jersey seat now held by Republican appointee Jeff Chiesa goes Democratic in the October special election, only 14 Republican seats will be up in 2014, against 21 Democratic seats.
Only one of those Republican seats is in a state carried by Barack Obama, Maine (56 percent Obama), and three-term incumbent Susan Collins looks unbeatable.
In contrast, Democrats have to defend seats in seven states carried by Mitt Romney and in four states that were target states in the 2012 presidential election.
Republicans seem sure to win open seats in South Dakota (58 percent Romney) and West Virginia (62 percent Romney). Well-known Democrats are avoiding both races, and they look like certain Republican pickups.
The scene is a bit different in Montana (55 percent Romney), where Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus is retiring after 36 years. The strongest possible Democrat is folksy former Gov. Brian Schweitzer, who takes populist stands on economics and has backed the Keystone pipeline, which Barack Obama has so far refused to approve.
Two seats in the Deep South held by Democrats with locally famous names are in peril, and the two incumbents seem to have different strategies.
In Louisiana (58 percent Romney), Mary Landrieu, daughter and sister of New Orleans mayors, seems to be running as a proud Obama Democrat. Her state has the second largest black percentage in the union, and evidently she's hoping for high black turnout and just enough white votes to give her a fourth narrow majority.
In Arkansas (61 percent Romney), Mark Pryor, son of David Pryor, the representative, governor and senator whose election wins date back to 1966, seems to be running as a moderate in tune with local values. He was re-elected unopposed in 2008, but Republicans have since captured all the state's U.S. House seats and majorities in the state legislature. And Arkansas has a much lower black percentage than Louisiana.
Both Landrieu and Pryor have run under 50 percent in recent polls against Reps. John Fleming and Tom Cotton, with Pryor a statistically insignificant 1 percent ahead of the Republican.

As the national flag of Wales, the red dragon appears to have regained popularity in the early part of the twentieth century, when it was used for the 911 Caernarfon Investiture of Edward, Prince of Wales. In 1959 it became officially recognised as the national flag of the principality. Y Ddraig Goch now flies proudly over public and private buildings throughout Wales and is clearly and elegantly displayed in our contemporary interpretation of the greatest symbol of Welsh heritage and pride on our Welsh Dragon collection.

Detroit could have had Gretzky
Who knew?
Detroit is a sports town. And hockey is the sport de jour (please, don't ask us about the Lions or the Tigers right now. Wounds are too fresh.)
I recently ran across this story about how The Great One could have been a Red Wing. Ah, the sweet misery.
According to the article..."Gretzky knew he was shipping out of Edmonton well before the trade, which he helped orchestrate after he realized that a new real estate agent was unavoidable. "I only want to go to two places," he told Pocklington. "LA or Detroit," the latter being just a three-hour drive from his hometown of Brantford, Ontario.
His dad pushed for Detroit. Surprisingly, so did his wife. "It's a hockey city," she reminded her husband. It's technically called Hockeytown, but they'll probably forgive her considering she tried to give the city its biggest bailout this side of Washington D.C."
Read the whole thing here.
No disrespect to Gretzky, but we have Yzerman. So, no misery.....quite the opposite......we thank the hockey gods for #19.
Agreed! and thank you for your kind words below!!!
Detroit belongs to Yzerman. Period. I cannot imagine the Wings without him. No way could Gretzky be here. Great guy, but he's not Stevie Y.
hind sight being 20-20 - I still would have wanted #19! We couldn't have asked for a better Captain!
Leave well enough alone!
I totally agree with the 3 comments so far. Yzerman was, and IS, a god in Hockeytown.
Sports is a major event, for some a lifestyle, in the metro Detroit area. If TIME wants to know how the people and the teams interact, talk to Stevie Y, or Joe Dumars (even if the Pistons are in the suburbs), Al Kaline and Willie Horton. I suppose you could try to talk to Barry Sanders, but his feelings about the team may color his feelings about the city.
No offense to this writer (Disdain is instead heaped upon the editor who should have picked someone who knew something about hockey and not just eye catching headings.) But anyone who knows anything about hockey knows that Wayne Gretzky would not have fared well in Detroit and that the Detroit Red Wings did not need Wayne Gretzky.
The Detroit Red Wings hold the record in ALL of the professional sports legues for the longest streak of continual playoff appearances at 18 years straight- with no sign of falter coming anytime soon. And all with out the Great One...4 of those years brought a Stanley Cup to the City- more than any other NHL franchise since the 1980's.
Detroit hockey has been -during these last 20+ years of success- an evenly balanced team focusing either on smothering left wing lock defenses and/or gorgeous puck possession play, and Detroit requires its forwards and defensemen to do double duty at the blueline and on the puck- Something Gretz would not have been used to in his prime.
Further, the Red Wing Organization is the Platinum standard in all of professional sports for growing unknown but talented players into Repeat Stanley Cup Champs and some of the best players the game has ever seen.
Additionally, there is reason to speculate that Wayne would not have seen the success he enjoyed in with Mr. McSorley at his side in Detroit (No offense to either Gretz or McSorley- I have the utmost respect).
And finally- perhaps most importantly- the Wings did not need the Great One, Detroit had its own Great One in an amazing talent named Steve Yzerman who along with Igor Larionov (nicknamed "The Russian Gretzky") ,and an incredible line up of some of the greatest team leaders in the history of the game gave the City of Detroit and her suburbs so much to be thankful for and proud of.
If it were 1982 and we had it to do all over again, NO QUESTION I'd take Steve Yzerman's heart, talent, class, dignity, spirit and grace over the Great One. On that note- Thanks Stevie Y, Mr. Iilitch and the Detroit Red Wings.
Good thing this article appeared, or we would never have seen the above comment. Kudos to juiceinla.....loved that you mentioned Larionov. I miss the Russian Five..... glad we now have the super Swedes.
(I've got the game on and Lidstrom just got his 1000th point.........assisted on Z's goal. Awesome.)
We are blessed here in Detroit. We have so many hidden gems, and the WIngs are like the Hope Diamond, but worth much more.
Thank God we never had to deal with Gretzky. Aside from him being the "Great Cherry Picker" his wife would not have been happy in Detroit. We are not glamorous like L.A.
Stevie will always be the Great One.
Thanks so much for the kind words, ZforCaptain- sincerely! I was worried that I hadn't stopped to breathe there perched on my soapbox, plus I get a bit defensive about the D, her teams and her people. And I love my (our) Wings.
I agree 100% with your feelings on the matter. Loved watching Nico get his 1,00th point, can't wait until he catches Larry Murphy (1200+). The Professor, Fetisov, Sergei, Shanny, Draper, Ozzie, Murphy, (even Hull and Robitaille) and of course Nico- for 20 years the Wings and their fans have been completely blessed with some of the premier talent, class and heat in all of the NHL. The list just goes on and on.
But Ms Dybis!!! very very classy response, and I love authors who engage their readers, so thank you. I am so glad I didn't give you too much grief. I know part of the reason for the story was that it is an eyecatching headline- and obviously it worked.
As for hormones and Steve Yzerman? I was a "Pre-tween" (no typo) in 1983 when he was drafted, and I traded my Ponyboy Curtis poster for a small newspaper picture of Stevie Y at the draft..I get it. I totally get it.
juiceinla I think you echo what we all feel......the Wings are much more than a hockey team, they are our life line......can't imagine where we'd be without them.
I often think of the players who were here in the bad times, like Gallant, Snepsts, and Steve Chiasson, who all contributed in some way to the team we have today.
Yzerman will of course deny it, but he is the reason we've won four Cups in recent years. He could have easily given up and left for a seemingly brighter future, but he chose to stay here and keep fighting. That alone would have been enough for us, but to see him hoist the Cup for the first time was over the top, and something I will never ever forget.
I marvel at the players the Wings have found to keep the engine running. I worried who would succeed Lidstrom as Captain, and rumors are it will be Zetterberg, who is a perfect fit..........how did they find him?
One more thought I'd like to put in writing is that if Mr. Ilitch decides to build a new arena, I'd love it if it were patterned after the magnificent Olympia Arena instead of some new modern state-of-the-art building. There was no better place to watch a hockey game.
Not sure if we're allowed to post links here, but below is one of Yzerman during an interview about the Canadian Olympic team. I do believe it's the only time I've seen #19 at a loss for words......enjoy :)
Agreed, no misery here. Sure Gretzky has the numbers, but Yzerman has more; leadership, toughness, fearlessness, and loyalty. I couldn't imagine the Wings and Hockeytown without him. Some say great athletes bleed the color of their team, but Yzerman takes it to a whole other level;
[...] since we all love the Detroit Red Wings, I want all my fellow Detroit Lions football fans to check out detroit.blogs.time and tell me what you think about[...]

Best Waterfront Dining (2007)
Historic Blue Marlin Fish House
Oleta River State Park, the largest urban park in the state of Florida, offers the most picturesque of settings for lunch. The informal Blue Marlin Fish House is located where the original Blue Marlin Smoke House stood in 1938. It was a trading post back then, a place where people could anchor their boats and barter their catch. Now the grounds boast a nature center that details this history, a smoke house, and a breezy eating area with a view of the Oleta River rolling by. The menu is mostly composed, perhaps to no great surprise, of smoked fish specialties straight from that smoke house. Blue marlin, salmon, and mahi-mahi are the primary smokees, and can be sampled together in a tasting plate ($8.95); as sandwiches or wraps ($7.45 to $7.95); atop salad with walnuts, grapes, and creamy tarragon dressing ($10.95); or as entrées with rice or pasta ($12.95). Burgers, hot dogs, pizza, and other nonsmoked kiddie-fare is available, too. After lunch, you can walk a few yards, rent a kayak, and float away.

Eating your thoughts is easier than your words
Fondest memory: Over the next days, we found a pace that suited us and did not rush to keep up with the fastest in the pack. Though we were a group, there were certainly some much fitter than others and the reality was, the trek was easy to follow and there was no chance of not meeting back up in the afternoon. Besides, the days were pretty short and we had the whole afternoon to recover from the day's expenditures, generally swimming in cold jungle ponds. It became much more enjoyable, knowing we could do it at our own pace and once at the top camp before the ruins, I came down with my first bug of the entire Colombian trip and wound up sleeping through the only rainy day of the trek. It was as if my body could finally relax, knowing the strains I was putting on it were finally over.
The next morning on our way to visit the ruins is when my wife slipped. Once she recovered from the initial shock, she was her normal trouper self, never complaining. Later, when descending the long set of stone steps to the river from the ruins, one of our comrades took a major tumble and was lucky not to seriously hurt himself. At the river, Doreen gave up the compression bandage the guide had given her earlier that morning. He needed it more and on seeing his wounds, she only passingly ever mentioned hers again. She would wear her badge proudly on the beaches of Tayrona National Park, not marring her bikini figure in any way. Two treks planned, two treks down. The rest of Colombia had to be a breeze but we never said such a thing again. Eating your thoughts is always easier than your words, with no one to notice if you bit off more than you thought you could easily chew.

facing the facts of age
Fondest memory: So, we set out dressed in the same "desert whites" we had done El Cocuy in. On that trek, we wore long sleeved shirts and pants to protect ourselves from the high altitude sun. We had worn the same clothes when we spent a few months in the deserts of the United States Southwest earlier that year too. This time around, we were wearing them as much for mosquito protection as anything but that point turned out to be moot in this dry time of year. Mosquitoes were not a factor and as we found out, the uniform of choice of our group mates, shorts and a tank tops, were more appropriate for the temperatures we were hiking in. In the first hour, we were both drenched in sweat and thankfully, my wife at least could hike in her sport bra once bites were ruled out. We had expected the heat but had somehow forgotten to factor in the humidity despite our being from muggy South Florida. It was zapping us and oddly enough it seemed more than anyone else in the group who mostly hailed from Europe. To be fair, many of them had been living in or traveling around the more tropical areas of South America for many months. They were also a young group and while not dramatically so compared to my wife, many a decade so than me. The hills seemed to be at 90 degree inclines and though my pack was small, it felt awfully heavy. I had offered to carry everything for my wife as well as myself, figuring it would still be very light compared to the El Cocuy monstrosity I had to lug around. I also wanted my wife to have an easy time as she had done so well on the big trek, and this one was not high on her list of things to do. Still, it wasn't the pack. I had to face the fact I was getting older and maybe could no longer keep up with people half my age. (concluded below in Fondest Memory)

backpackers love to BS
Fondest memory: It's always interesting when you meet up with a group you're about to spend the next week with, especially when you'll be sleeping in close quarters, in hammocks no less. Backpackers love to *** and much of what is said is generally about what everyone has done so far. Since I'm generally about 20-30 years older than everyone I tend to keep my stories confined to the last decade. I've obviously done a lot but I've had a lot more time to do it in so no need to talk about things that happened before most people were born. El Cocuy had been very important to me. It was my real reason for wanting to come to Colombia in the first place and while most people we met had never even heard of it, most were intrigued when I began my passionate description of its many attributes. There were a couple of Austrian climbers in the group and they were particularly interested so my fire was fueled and I went on not so much in a boastful way as an ode to an area I had been blown away by. But the facts of the trek hung there like banner and of course many couldn't help but say that we wouldn't have any problems with this trek after that monumental one. Though we might not have been as entirely convinced, it did seem logical enough even to us that we should have a fairly easy time. (continued below in Fondest Memory)

and this was supposed to be easy
Favorite thing: While the ruins of La Ciudad Perdida were very interesting and the trek to them was stunning, perhaps the favorite part of the entire experience were the various swimming holes we swam in. Not only did they provide a great way to cool down and clean up, but they were also very scenic and were some of the nicest photography opportunities as well.
Fondest memory: And this was supposed to be easy is all I could think when looking down at the massive swelling black and blue contusion on my now calm wife's leg. Just an hour earlier when slippery rocks made her fall, she had been nearly in tears but much like a child who is unsure how to react, it was as much from embarrassment as it was from the actual pain inflicted. No, the pain would come later and her "badge" of La Ciudad Perdida would take even longer to totally fade physically. Fading from memory is still a process it is under.
And this was supposed to be easy. Well, relatively so. As a matter of fact, this was really a bit of an afterthought trek for us. A month earlier we had completed a longer and much more arduous trek in El Cocuy National Park, one that had us above the 4000 meter plateau for over seven days. That one was supposed to be and was very hard. It was actually even harder than we had ever imagined, finding us most days hiking the entire day to reach our camp each night. We had done it alone with no guide or even comrades, having to carry all our gear and food the whole way. So, we could be excused for assuming the Ciudad trek would be comparatively easy. It was after all a guided trek. We would only have to carry our personal gear. All of the sleeping gear and food would be transported by our very able guides and porters. The trek would take place at altitudes between 1000 and 2000 meters, and its total length of 30 kilometers was less than half as long as El Cocuy circuit. Oh, and we couldn't get lost. We had a guide whereas we were never quite sure we'd make it around El Cocuy until second to the last day. (continued below in Fondest Memory)

Organising a Tour
Favorite thing: To visit Ciudad Perdida you must go on an organised tour; it is very dangerous to attempt the trek on your own, as both paramilitaries and guerrilla rebels are active in the area. Turcol is a company in Santa Marta that was set up by the paramilitaries who control the region, and it is the only company that is allowed to organise treks to Ciudad Perdida. Treks usually leave every day or every other day, and they last for six days, or five if you're in a hurry, but in that case you will have to do alot of walking on the fifth day.
There are several guides who work for Turcol; Edwin Rey is one who is highly recommended. We were initially assigned to a guide named Omar, but the owners of our hotel told us he had been suspected of stealing from previous trekkers. We also caught him in a couple of lies before we set out, and so we insisted that we wanted to go with Edwin instead. Because of our demands, Edwin and Omar agreed to combine their two groups, so we all went together and Edwin essentially did all of the guiding while Omar just tagged along. Edwin is a great guide, and we had some wonderful porters/cooks as well. The cost of the tour was 400,000 pesos each, which is about US$150. The same price applies whether you do the trek in five or six days.
Turcol is on the main street in Santa Marta facing the ocean, address Carrera 1C No 20-15 Santa Marta.

Go prepared
Favorite thing: The trek is a good workout. Although much of the trail is in bush or under shelter, make sure you take plenty of good suncream and a hat. Insect repellant is useful up at the ruins as the little buggers can be ferocious at night before you take refuge in your mosquito net.
- Adventure Travel
The people
Favorite thing: Fortunately La Ciudad Perdida doesn't get too many visitors per year and this has meant that the local indiginous tribes have been unaffected by outside influences. Please respect their privacy and culture. They do not expect anything from us but are always grateful for extra food.
I found them to be friendly and accomodating in front of the camera. But always ask first!
- Adventure Travel
The Colombian experience
Favorite thing: From Santa Marta you will be picked up from your hotel and transported by 4 wheel drive up into the Sierra Nevadas. After the hour and half trip you will be given something to eat and then it's 'shanks's pony' from there on. The trek is up and down, hot and dry and five or six days. You will need a good water bottle but fortunately there are a couple of water stations and swimming holes along the way.
There are several interesting sites along the way including indiginous huts and coca plantations!
- Adventure Travel
The trail
Favorite thing: You will need to be in reasonable shape as there are a few hills to negotiate on the trail. This is the last uphill before reaching the ruins. It is an ancient stairway through the jungle which rises from the river below to finish at the ruins after about 45 mins steady climbing.
- Adventure Travel
Fellow trekkers
Fondest memory: My fondest memory was meeting all the kewl people on the trek. You spend 6 days with these people so make sure you have a good time and enjoy the company. I lucked out and met four kewl travellers on the trek. We laughed, shared stories, played cards, and all in all had a great time doing one of the best treks in South America.

Daniel Darte Homestead (1722)Wednesday, April 8th, 2015 Posted in Bolton, Colonial, Houses | No Comments »
The house at 22 Hebron Road in Bolton was built sometime between 1740 and 1770, although it may date to as early as 1722. It has been added to over the years. It was built by Daniel Darte (1691-1771), an original settler of Bolton. Daniel Darte supported the town's separation from Hartford in 1720. There is another house in Bolton, at 219 Bolton Center Road, that is traditionally associated with Daniel Darte.
Jared Cone House (1800)Tuesday, March 17th, 2015 Posted in Bolton, Federal Style, Houses | No Comments »
Jared Cone Sr. (1733-1807) of Bolton married Christiana Loomis on September 19, 1754. He purchased the Loomis farm in Bolton by 1768. Jared Cone and his son, Jared Cone, Jr., both served in the Revolutionary War. The father marched with the militia from Bolton to the Lexington Alarm in 1775 and the son was at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown in 1781. Jared Cone, Jr. married Elisabeth Wells of Wethersfield in 1784. He acquired his father's farm in 1790 and ten years later built a Federal-style house at what is now 25 Hebron Road. The house's rear ell appears to be much earlier, dating perhaps to c. 1755. Cone could only afford to live in the grand house for four years, eventually selling it and moving away (he died in New Hampshire). For about eight years the house was a bed and breakfast until it closed in 2003.
Bolton United Methodist Church (1852)Sunday, March 15th, 2015 Posted in Bolton, Churches, Greek Revival | No Comments »
The Bolton United Methodist Church is located at 1041 Boston Turnpike in the Quarryville section of Bolton. The church's history is described in A Historical Sketch of Bolton, Connecticut (1920), by Samuel Morgan Alvord:
The Methodist Church began its work at an early date in Bolton with the first camp meeting ever held in a New England town. The noted itinerant preacher Lorenzo Dow was the leader and great crowds were attracted to his meetings which were held May 30 to June 3, 1805, near the Andover town line directly east of the South District School house. Rev. Mr. [George] Colton [of the Bolton Congregational Church] was deeply offended at this encroachment upon his rights. Camp meetings were held later near camp meeting spring on the South Manchester road.
The first Methodist Church was built at Ouarryville in 1834 near the present edifice. This building was sold to the Universalists in 1851 and moved some distance west and a new church was built the following year. Joseph Ireson was the first pastor in 1823.
A brief history of the "M.E. Church, Quarryville, Connecticut," by Edgar A. Brownell appears in the Souvenir History of the New England Southern Conference in Three Volumes (1897). As Brownell describes:
Methodist meetings were first held in 1823, at the house of Isaac Keeney, and in pleasant weather were held under the shade of trees in the vicinity of what is known as Quarryville, sometimes under a large elm tree, near the late Isaac Keeney's residence.
The first meeting-house was built in 1834, and stood near the site of the present one. and was sold to the Universalist Societv in 1851-2, and removed about eighty rods west. The present meeting-house was built in 1852, and cost between $3,000 and $4,000, and has never been without a minister and a fair congregation.
Some years since the Rev. James S. Thomas, then stationed here, thought the society needed a church bell and a barn. He procured the same, and then set at work to pay for them. During his pastorate here special services were held and a great revival took place, "and the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved," many of whom are at present members in the church.
Patriot Farm (1788)Saturday, April 7th, 2012 Posted in Bolton, Greek Revival, Houses | No Comments »
Travelers on Route 6 in Bolton pass by a Federal/Greek Revival-style house with a sign identifying it as "Patriot Farm." Older surveys date the house, at 822 Hopriver Road, to c.1822, but a sign on the house says it was built by Jonathan Colton in 1788 (the sign is on a wing of the house, so perhaps this refers to the wing as an earlier section, with main block dating to the 1820s?). The property is currently for sale.
The Ezra Loomis House (1740)Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010 Posted in Bolton, Colonial, Houses | No Comments »
The Ezra Loomis House is a Cape Cod-style house at 22 Brandy Street in Bolton. The house was constructed sometime between 1740 and 1780 and has a neighboring open carriage barn built around 1970.
The Joel White House (1740)Monday, July 26th, 2010 Posted in Bolton, Colonial, Houses | 1 Comment »
Built sometime between 1740 and 1780, the Joel White House is located on Bolton Center Road in Bolton. It was the site of Bolton's first post office in 1812. Samuel Alvord was the first Postmaster.
Bolton Congregational Church (1848)Sunday, May 30th, 2010 Posted in Bolton, Churches, Greek Revival | No Comments »
The Town of Bolton was incorporated in 1720 and the town's Congregational Church was organized in 1725. The first meeting house, located on Bolton Green, was built used for about forty years, being replaced by a new building on the same site in 1767. The second church remained until it too was replaced by the current Bolton Congregational Church, a Greek Revival building with a truncated box-spire, in 1848.

On Wednesday, manager Ozzie Guillen said that Cotts would be his first option at closer if Bobby Jenks' spring struggles continued into the regular season, the Chicago Daily Herald reports.
What option does Guillen have if Jenks' spring struggles play out during the regular season, especially with doubt still surrounding the condition of Dustin Hermanson's back? Left-hander Neal Cotts looks to be Guillen's choice, with Cotts even throwing the final inning Wednesday. Cotts, 26, held left-handed hitters to a .206 average in 2005, but also held righties to a miniscule .155 average.

"Driving guitar riffs burst through the hypnotic rhythm, like falling stars cascading across a dark nights sky, accompanied by haunting, but alluring vocals that mouth wateringly tingle down the spine make 'Singularity' the debut anthemic single by Pittsburgh's Paradox Please an impressive calling card, that's already got some in the music industry penciling them in as a hot band to watch in 2013! This relatively new, but blatantly professional trio has already made its mark on the local and Pennsylvania state live circuit establishing themselves as hard hitting performers with a buzz that's generating a fast growing loyal fan base locally, nationally and internationally. Fronted by James Beswick, the Paradox Please sound has a distinct edgy feel about it that when combined with the talents of Brittany Glitsch on bass and Chad Leonberg on drums leaves you exhilarated and yet exhausted after screaming for more…..and more…..and more!"

It seems I just can't apply the theme on the blog page. I get is all the information on a straight column to the left of the page... ??
My theme is also not working. Earlier I was having problem where my permalink pages weren't loading but my homepage http://kmareka.com was. So I went into options and looked at the two boxes, one for the domain name which I had at http://kmareka.com and one for the Blog URL which I had at http://kmareka.com/index.php. I changed the Blog URL to http://kmareka.com and updated, and then ther permalink pages were working and everything seemed fine. But then I went to try old permalinks from other sites and found they were searching for the address with the /index.php in the tag so then I went back to the site and put the /index.php back in on the options, updated, and suddenly I got an error message and now I get an error message when I try to go to my dashboard, so I can't go in and change things back. Help! Thanks, Kiersten Marek
The values in the two URI fileds can NOT end to file names. Only folder names (without trailing slash)!
You may want to try to add the index.php to the permalink settings, but don't mess with it in the Options.
To fix it: http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/
I have wp 1.5. When I go into my database I do not see a file for "home". Could it have another name?
Sorry, I did find the "home" file and changed it to http://kmareka.com. However, I am still getting an error message when I try to go to my dashboard and my theme is not applying to my site. Kiersten
Here's how this it is presented to me: http://www.elsiane.com/blog . It tells me theme applied and them this??
The real problem is that I can't get into my dashboard. What would be preventing me from being able to do that?
kiersten, you have to change BOTH values: site_url and home to http://kmareka.com
(note: http://www.example.com and example.com are not the same!)
Seemingly you did not change the values, it is still looking for the stylesheet in the wrong place:
@import url( http://kmareka.com/index.php/wp-content/themes/nolimits/style.css );
I did find the "home" file
Just for the record: there are no "files" in the database. You change the data or entry or values... just follow exactly the tutorial.
They are both changed to http://kmareka.com
But the theme is not applying.
My friend, believe me, it is NOT changed. Look at the source code and you will see it is looking for the stylesheet in the wrong place: at the URI with index.php at the end.
I know this is fixable because all I did was change the value in the blog URL on the options page. If I can just go to the place in that page and change it -- I assume that is what changing "site URL" and "home" does. But won't this make all the links I have from other sites get error pages? If so, I guess that's the price to pay to have the site back up. But why was the site working before with one box of options saying http://kmareka.com and the Blog URL box saying http://kmareka.com/index.php. What changed to make the permalink pages suddenly stop working (error message) when the homepage was still working? That was the original problem and the reason why I went in and looked at my options page and then made the change, which seemed to work initially with getting the permalink pages to come up. Thanks so much for your help.
First things first.
1. Priority #1 - make the site work properly.
2. Think about old outside links later: you can ask for a htaccess redirect for those, and I am sure somebody will help.
3. Is the stylesheet link by any chance hardcoded in the theme's header.php file?
4. I am also wondering how did it work with a faulty URI in the options...
This is the contents of my header php file. I don't believe there is anything in it hard-coded:
@header('Content-type: ' . get_option('html_type') . '; charset=' . get_option('blog_charset'));
if (!isset($_GET["page"])) require_once('admin.php'); ?>
<?php get_admin_page_title(); ?>

Topics up for discussion will range from game economies to virtual reality, as well as Linux, OpenGL, user-generated, and more. Given that Valve is shooting for a relaxed atmosphere that's off the record, we imagine anything and everything is likely to come up during the event.
The event will take place in Seattle, Washington on January 15-16, 2014. There's a $95 pre-registrant fee. If you'd like to attend or just want to know more, hit up the Steam Dev Days FAQ page .

in response to ~Miranda~Welcome to Apple Discussions,
What version of iCal are you using?
You can add your Google calendar to iCal following the steps in the iCal help menu: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iCal/5.0/en/28066.html
If you want to "merge" all the calendars into the Google calendar, first make sure you have a backup.
Once the Google calendar is in iCal you can move all your existing calendars into the Google calendar by going to File > Export and saving each calendar as an ICS file.
Once the calendars are exported re-import them by double-clicking them.
When prompted for which calendar to add the events to, choose the Google calendar. This will add all your events to the Google Calendar.
Once all the calendars are in the Google Calendar you can then delete them from iCal.
Hope that helps.
