TinaEvolution 2012 ver by freelancemangaWatch
©2012-2016 freelancemanga
Wow, has it been another 4 years already? Well, I still had some time in 2012, so here's the next installment of the Tina Evolution series. Since from the look of it I haven't "improved" so much in the past 4 years I'm gonna call this more of a style evolution thna anything else
Anyway, here are the dates, from left to right, top to bottom:
Till next time!
Anyway, here are the dates, from left to right, top to bottom:
Till next time!
the firist one looks like the old anthro style next one its animeske (two kinds for example)samewith the thirth
The improvements are moving in the right direction. That much is certain. It's more consistent with the proportions that you have been trying to shoot for. The style progression is also good to see.
wow, I love the display of character evolution
I belive you've improved a lot in the last 4 years. Your proportions have gotten better, and in this tina looks more 3D and solid then she does in the other three versions.
too damn cute
so let me try and guess, the first evolution occurs at level 10, the next at level 17, the third at level 32, and the last one "isn't even her final form!"
Those are some interesting stylistic changes over 16 years!
Ahh how time flies. I was just born in June 4th 2000 (yes im 12 LOL)
Huh, I would never have guessed that first form was her...
Its probably the hair... she was still in that "buzz saw" phase, before I simplified it and went with the 3 pronged approach you see in later years.
4 years... 3 bra size bigger
just joking, an amazing improvement, keep working like that ;D
just joking, an amazing improvement, keep working like that ;D
Meh, I think shes actually gotten smaller over time in this sequence. Proportionately anyway.
I think she looks better with the cut-offs in the second panel and the tanktop in the fourth panel...
I love seeing artistic evolution. Hope to see many more years of great work! ^_^
I hope so too! Although I'm getting burned out... could this be the last entry? Or perhaps Next time all I draw is a stick figure D:
That's unfortunate. You could just slow down a little and see if you feel refreshed not trying to draw quite so much. ^_^
I like the first one beast really.
Its pretty much an entirely different style. I almost wonder if a stranger would think they were all from the same person o_o
It's fun to see the time lapse changes!
Heh, it's really interesting seeing Tina's evolution. The only thing about her that doesn't seem to have change...was her tail.
It becomes more flexible twords the end? XD
Evolution, it happens in generations.
e ela fica cada vez mais linda e sexy >w>
I love evolution pics like this. ;D
You should post some! You were already amazing when I first came across your artwork, and you've done nothing but improve in leaps and bounds since then
The hairstyle I like best is the top right. Bottom left is best drawn, I think, with bottom right being best shaded. So is not to leave out a comment on top left, I like how she's winking and sticking out her tongue. It's a funny look for her.
Je préfère celui en haut a droite, mais bon chacun ses goûts.
Bonne fêtes.
Bonne fêtes.
....sexiness on down through the years....although I still very much like the first design....so very cute...X3
Wow that's really interesting stuff. I found especially interesting how your drawing of hands developed from paw-like to human.
It was preference really, some anatomy types just don't support 4 fingered hands too well. Note that she also wore gloves in her early years.
Well we see you've been from a 80's-90's manga style to something a bit more cute and personal ^^
Aside of similarities in how the hair looks like I don't really see much connection to 80s-90s. If you try saying the eyes I've seen to many anime to claim that this style is from that era.

Middle East History: It Happened in November; the Passage of U.N. Resolution 242
Neff, Donald, Washington Report on Middle East Affairs
MIDDLE EAST HISTORY: IT HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER; The Passage of U.N. Resolution 242
It was 26 years ago, on Nov. 22, 1967, that landmark Resolution 242 was unanimously passed by the United Nations Security Council. The resolution was deceptively simple and brief, a mere 292 words. Since then it has been repeatedly cited by all parties to the Middle East conflict as the basic building block for peace.
The text of the resolution is worth recounting in full:
The Security Council,
Expressing its continuing concern with the grave situation in the Middle East,
Emphasizing the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war and the need to work for a just and lasting peace in which every state in the area can live in security,
Emphasizing further that all Member States in their acceptance of the Charter of the United Nations have undertaken a commitment to act in accordance with Article 2 of the Charter,
1. Affirms that the fulfillment of Charter principles requires the establishment of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East which should include the application of both the following principles:
(i) Withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories(*) occupied in the recent conflict;
(ii) Termination of all claims or states of belligerency and respect for an acknowledgement of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of every state in the area and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force;
2. Affirms further the necessity
(a) For guaranteeing freedom of navigation through international waterways in the area;
(b) For achieving a just settlement of the refugee problem;
(c) For guaranteeing the territorial inviolability and political independence of every State in the area, through measures including the establishment of demilitarized zones;
3. Requests the Secretary-General to designate a Special Representative to proceed to the Middle East to establish and maintain contacts with the States concerned in order to promote agreement and assist efforts to achieve a peaceful and accepted settlement in accordance with the provisions and principles in this resolution;
4. Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Security Council on the progress of the efforts of the Special Representative as soon as possible.(1)
The failure to call for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from "the" or "all" territories occupied in the June 1967 war was considered at the time as an exercise in creative ambiguity. As later events proved, it was a failure of U.S. statesmanship and a triumph of Israeli strategy. The failure to call for total withdrawal, which came at Israel's urgings, has since become the focal point of endless bickering over just what the council meant about the expected extent of withdrawal by Israeli forces. It has also become a classic example of how Israel successfully manipulates U.S. policy to its own ends.
The failure to call for total withdrawal came at Israel's urgings.
Originally, the justification behind the construction "withdrawal ... from territories" was to leave room for Israel and its Arab neighbors to adjust the impractical 1949 armistice lines left over from the 1948 war. Although most council members wanted to demand Israel's total withdrawal, it did seem an eminently practical idea to allow for changes, since there were zigs and zags in the 1948 lines that were potential friction points. Ideally, the post-war period was a time when they could be straightened out to both sides' advantage under a U.S. formula of "minor" and "reciprocal" changes.
One such minor frontier rectification envisioned was the Latrun Salient, a small protrusion of land held by Jordan in the Latrun Plain that blocked direct motoring between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Top U.S. officials mentioned the Latrun Salient to Arab officials as an example of the type of minor change in the frontier they envisioned under 242--and of the reciprocity they expected for this concession. …

A gorgeous sparkler, showing effortless balance. The floral lemon and brioche aromas lead to elegant but complex flavors of creamy raspberry, vanilla and spicy almond. Drink now through 2014.
Domaine Carneros by Taittinger's 2009 Carneros Brut Sparkling Wine was named a Finalist in the Ultimate Wine Challenge 2013, and 93 points: "Excellent, Highly Recommended: A frothy mousse sets the tone for this delightful bubbly. White fruits and white flowers grace the bouquet, while the palate is toasty and gives a hint of citrus that is reminiscent of satsuma oranges. A lovely sparkling wine."

: Respectively disagree - Push the penalties out as far as you can. The NCAA is so goofed up they may not get around to this next year. And we are playing pretty darn good baseball (except for last weekend).
: GO DEVILS - Post Season … Let's Roll!!!
:: "I don't think this team can make it very far in the tournament." WTF???? This team has been ranked in the top 10 in the nation almost the entire year and is in 2nd place in a really tough Pac 10. How do you get to the conclusion that they can't make it far? Because they lost two of three at USC. That was a letdown but don't judge a team by three games. I saw these guys play at Auburn early in the season and they didn't play great but still won after being down early in the game. That's a tough thing to do at an SEC opponent. This is a solid and very talented team that can get back to Omaha.

Indie Candidate Gibson Asked to Leave Farmers Market
DALE CITY, Va. — It's not easy being a third party candidate running for Congress in Northern Virginia. Just ask Mark Gibson.
This year, in Virginia's 11th Congressional District, the only way for an independent third-party candidate like Gibson to be listed on the ballot is to have 1,000 signatures on a ballot petition, which then must be submitted to the state's office of elections. Gibson has about 500 signatures so far and he's going for a total of 1,500 to ensure he has more than enough.
On Sunday, he went to the Dale City Farmer's Market to collect even more signatures. He managed to get five before he was asked to leave.
"I was out collecting signatures, like I had done at other farmers markets like the one at the Burke VRE and in Reston, and there was never a question of where I was supposed to be," said Gibson.
The Dale City market is held in a commuter lot maintained by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to next Center Plaza, and a Comcast cable office. It's a popular Sunday morning destination for those looking for locally grown, fresh produce and other goods.
So, it's a no brainer Gibson would go and shake hands with voters, and ask them to sign his ballot petition. Gibson didn't have a table or chairs with him, just a clipboard and a warm greeting, he said.
"It is my understanding the manager on duty spoke with Mr. Gibson and advised him of the necessity to obtain a VDOT permit to solicit campaign signatures at the Commuter Lot. The manager made note of how 'nice' Mr. Gibson was," said Diane Cabot, with Prince William parks and recreation.
Gibson turned to Twitter to share his experience:
Good morning Dale City! pic.twitter.com/0QtOeUQbYP

Plan change Dale City: farmers market mgr wants me to get VDOT permit. See you Sun Jun 1! @NAAorg @PotomacLocal @PWCPatch @pwcounty #VA11
— Mark Gibson (@Gibson4congress) May 18, 2014
As it turns out, there is a rule that requires any group or organization that wants to set up shop in a VDOT parking lot, to include the farmers market, to first get permission. But the one-man band Gibson doesn't really have an organization, and he's not a business.
"My biggest concern is that he was in public place," said Bill Golden, a Prince William County resident who produces several websites and the community interview show, Nights at the Roundtable. "It seems here we have a restrictive policy that needs explaining by the government."
Golden met Gibson at a recent taping of "Roundtable," and suggests more signs be placed at this and all other commuter lots informing people that the proper permits are needed before they can hock their wares or collect signatures.
Also a photographer, Golden says there is also a policy at the Dale City market that prohibits photography. "How can you stop people from taking photos at an outdoor market?" asked Golden.
There is a media policy in place at the market, too, where anyone who wishes of photograph or produce video of the market is asked to call ahead and seek permission first.
Gibson says he's been to other farmers markets in Fairfax County where he's been able to collect signatures with no problems, and without obtaining a permit. However, Gibson ran into similar problems at a farmers market in the City of Fairfax where, there too, he was asked for a permit and was asked to leave.
Prince William County has since spoken to Gibson and provided all of the documents he'll need to fill out to participate in the market, said Cabot.
The permit process hasn't soured Gibson. He says he'll complete the permit application with the state, and will seek permission from the county's parks and recreation department before returning to the Dale City Farmers Market on June 1.
This is the second time Gibson has ran to unseat Democrat Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Fairfax, Prince William. He also faces Republican Suzanne Scholte who is president of a non-profit organization that focuses on human rights issues.
Voters will head to the polls Nov. 4.

I shared an office with Mark several years back and always found him to be a smart, with it, kind of guy. Its a shame to put these third party guys through the wringer just to get them on the ballot. I understand requiring signatures, but asking for permits to walk around with a clipboard? I'll remember this next time I get a high dollar glossy political brochure paid for by some committee or another. Good luck Mark I hope you bring about the change your constituents are seeking.

BTW, if you'd like to learn more about Mark Gibson:
Mark is a pleasant guy who campaigns by going straight to the voters and actually talking to them. When he ran two years ago he tirelessly met with voters at coffee shops and events around the district on a daily basis with virtually no funding while holding down a full time job. I'm sorry to see this happen to him.
I won't even go into the absurdity of (probably) having to pay a fee and and get a permit to do this on public property.

COLUMBUS — The Eagles of Lakewood St. Edward claimed the 2014 OHSAA Division I state championship game in thrilling fashion, claiming a hard-fought 62-58 overtime battle with Upper Arlington Saturday night at Value City Arena at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus.
After finding themselves in a back-and-forth battle throughout regulation, the Eagles (26-2) sent the game into an extra session when senior forward Marsalis Hamilton, who had hit just three longballs all season, drained a triple as the buzzer sounded, setting off jubilation in the Lakewood bench.
In the overtime session, Lakewood St. Edward did not trail, earning layups from Malcolm Walters and Tony Vuyancih and 6-of-7 free throw shooting in the period. The final two free throws, made by 6-7 junior Kipper Nichols, sealed the deal, giving the Eagles their second state championship in school history (1998).
Nichols took over the contest from the opening whistle, netting 26 points on 11-of-15 shooting on the sport's highest stage and sending the rabid fans of Upper Arlington (27-2) home stunned.
The Golden Bears, who made their first trip to the state tournament since a three-year run from 1937-39, used a mix of defensive tenacity and timely shooting to hold a lead after each of the first three quarters, including a 9-0 run to start the game.
6-3 senior guard Kevin Vannatta, a UNC-Asheville signee, and classmate Danny Hummer each scored 15 points in their final games in Black and Gold.
Hamilton, a 6-4 senior, chipped in 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting with only one made three point shot on one attempt … the final shot of regulation.
The loss snapped a 26-game win streak for the Golden Bears, whose last defeat came by three points in the second game of the season to Powell Olentangy Liberty.

Skin Tag
Skin tags are small, soft pieces of skin that stick out on a thin stem. They most often appear on the neck, armpits, upper trunk, and body folds.
The cause of skin tags is not known. They commonly appear after middle age.
Skin tags do not require treatment. But if they are bothersome, a doctor can easily remove them, usually by burning or cutting them off.

I'm currently in the process of switching WordPress themes. As such, you may find occasional bugs or missing features here while I sort out the issues. 🙂

News about my blog
I'm currently in the process of switching WordPress themes. As such, you may find occasional bugs or missing features here while I sort out the issues. 🙂
Feel free to report any issues as comments on this post.
For those of you who have visited my blog before, you may notice that my blog is rocking a new theme. Yes, after over 4 years I'm finally ditching my very hacked up version of the "Neat!" theme for something a bit more modern. It's called Mystique and it was made by digitalnature.
I'm still making minor tweaks to the theme, so bear with me while I make the transition and feel free to report any issues in the comments for this post. 🙂
Due to the tr.im scare, the increasing trend of site-specific shortening services such as WordPress.com's WP.me, and the awesomeness that is YOURLS, I've decided to join in and purchase my own short little domain name. I went the same route as WordPress.com did with a ".me" domain and ended up with "v007.me".
It's powered by YOURLS which is written by the well known WordPress plugin developers Lester "GamerZ" Chan and Ozh. It even comes with a WordPress plugin that can automatically create shortlinks for your new posts and even post it Twitter (I had been using Twitter Tools previously).
For example, here's the short URL to this post: http://v007.me/1
Cool, huh? 🙂
So I tried to upload another blog on this server via the automatic upgrade and it apparently freaked out and apparently it deleted all of my plugins and uploads for this blog. I have no idea why, but it did.
Waiting on my friend who runs this server for me to find a backup, but until then this blog is mostly broken.
UPDATE: Turns out automatic file backups were never set up, so the most recent backup we could find was from exactly 2 months ago. I think I already reinstalled all of the new plugins I had installed since then, but I'll need to reupload any uploads I've done in the past 2 months. Please report any issues via this post.
This is just a test post testing a new plugin of mine. Ignore me.
Since I don't post enough on this blog, I'm going to turn my weekly Twitter reports. If I blogged at least once a week, it wouldn't be a problem, but I often don't so it was spamming my blog.
If you actually care about what I have to say on Twitter, just follow me. Note I do try to keep the random boring personal crap to a minimum, so don't be scared to follow me. Infact I find I'm often Tweeting something interesting I find rather than writing a short blog post about it.
Sorry to anyone following my blog via RSS. I was updating my custom plugin I use to redirect people to FeedBurner and accidentally had it set to redirect to the RSS feed for another site of mine. Apologies for cluttering your feed readers with stuff from FinalGear.
This blog is now running the super alpha WordPress 2.7. Please report any problems (namely any plugins that may break) in the comments section of this post.
Note I have not had a chance yet to implement threaded or native paged comments yet.
So I woke up today to find this e-mail in my inbox:

When an API key is invalid, apparently it's supposed to go to the moderation queue, but it didn't for me which meant I got 400-500 spams overnight on my blog. Lovely.
So, I just spent the last few minutes deleting page after page of spams from my blog. I thought I skimmed through each page looking for legit comments, but I know I missed at least one (of mine specifically). If you found one of your comments from the last 24 hours has gone missing, please post it again. I probably accidentally deleted it. Sorry.
As for Defensio, I'm still happy with their spam accuracy, but I really wish they'd fix that bug in their plugin. It was hugely annoying to wake up to so much spam on my blog. That's the whole reason I use Defensio — to avoid that. *sigh*
It of course wasn't perfect. Spam bots are getting smarter and a plugin such as SK2 alone just couldn't be accurate enough. So, a year or so ago, I added an Akismet plugin for SK2. The idea is the plugin talks to Akismet and gets a ham or spam rating for the comment. This result is then given to SK2 to use in it's overall score. It worked great, at least for a while.
However, even with the help of Akismet, SK2 just wasn't cutting it lately. Akismet was too often saying it was ham when it really was spam or on occasion, the other way around (that ham was spam).
So, two weeks ago today, I decided to give Defensio a try.

Understand it was one star, but still....dirty, worn, horrible linen, slept in my own blanket.
Close to highway
Grounds could be cleaned up and made a little more attractive. Room could be cleaned a little better.
The location is the town I grew up in, so it was perfect for getting together w/ school friends. Inn staff & restaurant staff very freindly...loved the free breakfast .Will stay there again when I come back!
The room was clean and the staff was friendly. Convenient to the highway. The breakfast coupons are a great bonus! We left a ring in the room and the staff member servicing the room found us in the parking lot to return it. We were very grateful.
Not the most comfortable bed but over all a great experience.
Beautiful setting, beautiful hotel with rich history, and staff that seem proud to serve the guests in this resort.
A bit pricey for extras.
The keys for the rooms didn't work twice before they changed the room

There are lighter, more technical waterproof jackets out there. The catch? They cost two or three times as much. Merrell's Mariposa has a decent hood and breathes nearly as well as fancier options (pit zips and mesh-backed hand pockets help let the air flow). The flattering, nonboxy fit seals the deal.

What is a good 2-3 sentence summary of "The Lottery"?
3 Answers | Add Yours
"The Lottery" is a short story written by Shirley Jackson. The story involves a small, rural community that has chosen to follow traditions that they do not fully understand without questioning the validity of those traditions. In an ironic ending to the story, a woman wins the lottery, despite the fact that she forgot about it until the last moment.
An example of a short summary of "The Lottery" (two or three sentences) might go as follows:
On a pretty summer day, every member of a rural village attends a yearly drawing in which everyone's name is entered. Because of its belief in an ancient superstition in which human sacrifice ensures good crops, the community stones the "winner" of the lottery, Tess Hutchinson.

Respond to Review of Le Tian Vegetarian Stall
by RII
Review: We tried to go for dinner. It was the only stall closed at that food court. Only open for lunch and the food was good with a good variety of local veg options. Other observations: It is really hard to find, as the shopping center has 2 or 3 names and even the security guard had not heard of Le Tian. Just keep asking for the food court on the 4th floor. As mentioned in another review, bring your own containers, get them filled and take it out. We made a run for it. In our opinion, that "food court" is not a great place to eat or even breathe. It was pretty bad. The food might be OK, but for ambiance, we prefer the vegetarian corner at the food court of the nearby Berjaya Times Square mall.

Grand View University is staging a performance of the Vagina Monologues Thursday, March 28th at 7:00 in the Viking Theatre (2811 NE 14th St.).
For those of you who don't know (and I'm not even sure if the title will get passed the language filter) VDay is an opportunity to empower women. A series of monologues about the female experience are presented, some funny, some touching, most a little vulgar. All proceeds will go to a local women's shelter (the VDay foundation allows any theatre company to perform the ****** royalty free if ticket sales go to charity).
$3 per person or $5 for couples.
"Politics: Poli a Latin word meaning many; and "tics" meaning bloodsucking creatures." ~Robin Williams
Oh, come on! It's cheaper than a movie ticket, it is entertaining, and it goes to a good cause!

France Labors at Folly
Byline: Edward Hudgins, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
We can always count on the French to show us how holding the wrong moral values and following the wrong economic policies will produce a comedie that becomes tres tragique.
Hundreds of thousands of students have been taking to the streets from Paris to Lyon demonstrating and rioting against a new labor law that will allow employers to dismiss without cause employees 26 years old or younger within the first two years of being hired. France has some of Europe's most stringent laws restricting the freedom of employers to manage their labor force. It's virtually impossible to get rid of workers who either aren't performing their jobs well or who employers simply can't afford to pay because demand drops for the goods and services produced by their enterprise. Not surprisingly, even when demand is high, employers will not hire costly workers because it would be extremely difficult to downsize if business is bad.
And costly they are. In France wages, labor rules and regulations are set by negotiations between the major unions, business groups and the government, that is, by corporatist collusion rather than voluntary contracts between employers and employees. The French government also mandates six weeks of paid vacation, lots of paid holidays and other benefits. Nice work if you can get it. The trouble is that 1 in 10 can't.
Not surprisingly, unemployment in France has averaged over 10 percent for the past 15 years, with the current rate at 9.6 percent. Private sector job creation has been almost non-existent. With France's population stagnant, you'd think the demand for labor would be high. By contrast, America's unemployment for the same period averaged just over 5 percent - the current rate is 4.8 percent - with 23 million net new jobs added to the economy - and this with the population jumping by 40 million. America is a job creation machine.
But are the French who actually do have jobs better off? Not really. Per capita gross domestic product in that country is $29,000 compared to nearly $40,000 in America.
The French government in the late 1990s decided on a bizarre strategy to combat unemployment. It mandated a cut in the work week to 35 hours but without a corresponding pay cut, on the theory that employers would need to take on more workers to make up for those lost hours of production. It became a crime to work too much. Government agents literally kept watch for people who might be putting in too much time on the job. Like criminals meeting in dark bars to plan crimes, honest individuals had to meet secretly to plan productive activities. …

Can We Finally Start Talking About The Global Persecution Of Christians? Two chilling articles
Two recent articles highlighting both the desperate plight facing Christians in many parts of the world and also the shocking silence of the world's leaders on the issues.
John Allen in the Spectator writes:
According to the Pew Forum, between 2006 and 2010 Christians faced some form of discrimination, either de jure or de facto, in a staggering total of 139 nations, which is almost three-quarters of all the countries on earth. According to the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Massachusetts, an average of 100,000 Christians have been killed in what the centre calls a 'situation of witness' each year for the past decade. That works out to 11 Christians killed somewhere in the world every hour, seven days a week and 365 days a year, for reasons related to their faith.
In effect, the world is witnessing the rise of an entire new generation of Christian martyrs
And this article by Mollie Hemingway in the Federalist (not a site known to me before now) in which she quotes from a book by Paul Marshall, Lela Gilbert and Nina Shea entitled Persecuted the Global Assault on Christians
"Christians are the single most widely persecuted religious group in the world today. This is confirmed in studies by sources as diverse as the Vatican, Open Doors, the Pew Research Center, Commentary, Newsweek and the Economist. According to one estimate, by the Catholic Bishops' Conferences of the European Community, 75 percent of acts of religious intolerance are directed against Christians."
(HT: Yvonne Nickerson & Helen Ogbourn)
Three atheists who think the world needs Christianity
Former editor of the Sunday Telegraph, Dominic Lawson, recently reviewed a book by Harvard Professor, Niall Ferguson entitled Civilisation: The West and the Rest. In his review Lawson includes a remarkable quote from a member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (which describes itself as 'the highest academic research organization in the fields of philosophy and social sciences as well as a national center for comprehensive studies in the People's Republic of China'). Here is what the Chinese have discovered:
One of the things we were asked to look into was what accounted for the success, in fact, the pre-eminence of the West all over the world. We studied everything we could from the historical, political, economic, and cultural perspective. At first, we thought it was because you had more powerful guns than we had. Then we thought it was because you had the best political system. Next we focused on your economic system. But in the past twenty years, we have realised that the heart of your culture is your religion: Christianity. That is why the West is so powerful.
The Christian moral foundation of social and cultural life was what made possible the emergence of capitalism and then the successful transition to democratic politics. We don't have any doubt about this.
Now the Chinese are not alone in reaching this conclusion. Bruce Sheiman in his book An Atheist Defends Religion writes about the impact of Jesus on our world. Christianity he says introduced:
A commitment to human dignity, personal liberty, and individual equality did not previously appear in ANY other culture.
What you and I take for granted, living as we do in the UK, has its origins in Christianity and the Christian worldview.
Matthew Parris writing in the Times talked of his own return to Africa after 45 years away and concluded;
travelling in Malawi refreshed another belief, too: one I've been trying to banish all my life, but an observation I've been unable to avoid since my African childhood. It confounds my ideological beliefs, stubbornly refuses to fit my world view, and has embarrassed my growing belief that there is no God.
Now a confirmed atheist, I've become convinced of the enormous contribution that Christian evangelism makes in Africa: sharply distinct from the work of secular NGOs, government projects and international aid efforts. These alone will not do. Education and training alone will not do. In Africa Christianity changes people's hearts. It brings a spiritual transformation. The rebirth is real. The change is good.
Christianity has made a massive difference to our world.
Up to the job? Church-planting and gospel confidence
When it comes to gospel ministry, and particularly a pioneering, church-planting, ministry, Paul asks the kind of question that everyone is thinking; who is equal to such a task? (2 Cor. 2:16). It's the perfect question for any new congregation starting out together. We know that Paul preached the gospel with great boldness and confidence, a confidence that seems to motivate him, enable him and sustain him. And his second letter to the Corinthians is a letter all about the right and wrong kinds of confidence in ministry. Consider how often the word 'confident' or 'confidence' occurs. Ten times in the book as a whole e.g. 5:6, we are always confident and 5:8, we are confident.
Where does confidence for church planting come from?
In our culture – we talk of a self-confidence. Here's Tracey Emin in her own words: I'm not your average woman, and I'm not going to live your average woman's lifestyle. I set up the rules for me. I set up the perimeters. I have nobody telling me what to do. Former world champion boxer Chris Eubank exuded a self-confidence when he famously said: I have no vices. I am a hero. Go and look it up in the dictionary and you will find a picture of me.
I don't doubt that in a group starting a church there are some very capable people. Gifted, skilled, equipped, trained, motivated but the danger will be a reliable on our own abilities, a self-confidence that breeds a self-reliance. A wrong confidence.
For the Apostle Paul confidence is found elsewhere. Paul answers his own question (2:16) in 3:4 Such confidence we have through Christ before God.
In this post I want to reflect a little on what a gospel-confidence is and then in my next post what a gospel confidence looks like in the life and ministry of a new church.
1) Gospel confidence
There are only two fuels you can put in the engine to fuel ministry, ourselves and our own talents and abilities or Christ and his gospel that saves. I'm sure you noticed how, for Paul, confidence is through Christ and before God. A better translation there is 'toward God'. In other words Paul looks to God for his confidence rather than in himself for his confidence. So here's the principle in planting; our confidence is entirely God-given. It comes from the gospel.
What does a gospel confidence look like? It's recognising that our competence in ministry is entirely God-given. Paul says, 3:5, Not that we are competent to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from GOD.
Gospel ministry is beyond our resources or abilities. No wonder Paul asks, 2:16, who is equal to such a task. You and I cannot open the eyes of the blind. We cannot give life to the dead. Our confidence can't therefore be located in is not in our website, or our music, or our small groups, or our community, even our coffee – it comes from the fact that the life-giving Spirit works through the gospel to bring life and salvation and godliness.
When we recognise that our confidence comes through Christ and from God it is wonderfully liberating because our confidence isn't affected by our performance, results, circumstance or situation! Andy Murray has just crashed out of the US Open in the quarter-finals in a pretty humiliating straight sets defeat. And no doubt His confidence will have taken a big knock. David Moyes hasn't had the best start at Man Utd and it can't be easy replicating the results of Sir Alex Ferguson.
Ask any celebrity and they will tell you of how self-confidence comes and goes, we are up and down people. As gospel servants, our confidence is strong because our confidence comes from God.
That's great news this morning whether we are naturally over-confident or under-confident people.
Who is equal to such a task? Well the answer is there in v.6, God has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant. Paul knows that new covenant ministry is a life-giving ministry. A ministry in which God seeks to bless and we ought to expect to see people saved. The Old Covenant, as Paul goes on to explain in verses 7-18, could not bring life because it was an external covenant of obedience to the law. It was a ministry of death, not because the covenant was not good but because of the spiritual incapacity of the people. But Jesus fulfilled it for us in his life, and he bore our penalty for our failure to keep it in his death and so released us from it. The ministry of the Old Testament prophets was a hard one – who would want to plant a congregation in OT Israel or be a Moses, Jeremiah, Isaiah? But the ministry of the New Covenant is a glorious one because through it the Spirit is able to bring new life and to turn rebellious hearts back to him.
It is God, and no other, who qualified Paul and equipped him to become a minister of the new covenant, he claimed nothing for himself. So too for any of us given the privilege and opportunity to be gospel ministers. Gospel confidence is a humble confidence and that, as we'll see in the next post, is all we need to, in the words of William Carey, attempt great things for God and expect great things from God.

The first rule of flats is You don't talk about flats!
Its been quite a while since I've played, but yes I have.
Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one?
Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one?
I use a rather unique handle on pogo, "Ritehsedad".
Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one?
Backgammon is evil. It is a tool of the devil.
This has nothing to do with the fact that Mrs. Mouse always beats the crap out of me at backgammon.
Backgammon is one of the most difficult games to program a strong AI for. There are so many possible next moves that AI engines just can't "look ahead" very far. That being said....that Jellyfish backgammon I mentioned can sure beat the hell out of me. It's an AI backgammon engine that the pros use to practice on apparently.
I never played it until rather recently. In fact, it was part of a trader training program with a firm I was with. We had internal tournaments going daily. I taught my wife, and now we play fairly regularly.
I used to really be into it during the 70's. Then I got into playing Scrabble for a while. Those are are only board games that ever gotten into. I haven't played a board game in quite a number of years.
The best computer Backgammon game, including pro level IA is called "Snowy", and it costs about $500.
I play online on Gammon Empire, I gave up on Yahoo Games- People are rude and have no idea
how to use the doubling cube.
The first rule of flats is You don't talk about flats!
GNU Backgammon
(which is free and comes w/source code)
Correction: The version I mentioned is spelled "Snowie" and costs between $190 and $380 depending on which version you want, and if you download or have CDs shipped.
The first rule of flats is You don't talk about flats!
Can anybody check the links and report the:
snowie vs. jellyfish
snowie vs. gnu
I really like backgammon and Cribbage, but my family members really don't like to play either.
"Come on", I taunt, "It will be a short game!"
At least one of them likes to play Magic.
I would like to find a good computer/PDA backgammon game, one that doesn't make moves at the speed of light and gets the most unbelievable rolls when it needs it.
I also enjoy Settlers of Catan, but seem to have lost the game...that is, I can't find it!
Fewer Cars, more handlebars!
For a backgammon game like you describe, you might look into the Sierra games game pack that has backgammon. They typically have different players at different skill levels. It's a little more fun than just playing the faceless computer and selecting a skill level. The players are all unique, have faces and say different things as you play.
As far as the fantastic rolls.....it only seems like its planned. A good skill on the computer sets up a good board so that there are a lot of rolls that turn out to be fantastic moves so it seems like they are getting "the perfect roll".
Ive downloaded "MVP Backgammon". MY 30 day trial ran out, and Im thinking about buying the full version. It has different skilled AI players, but I still think there is some weird probablilty going on with impossible rolls.
The first rule of flats is You don't talk about flats!
Yes, I play backgammon when I can find another player, and sometimes play online. Fair warning however - I have an arrangement with the Dice Management staff in Hell, who provide me with good dice rolls on request. Just wish the Dice Management demons didn't get the numbers wrong so often. Must be hard to get good staff in Hell.
Wouldnt it be wonderful if people could get to live suddenly, instead of just dying suddenly?

I don't understand.
Showing "games that are coming out in the immediate future" is the reason why they have absolutely nothing to showcase.
They are supporting the wii u almost entirely by themselves and if they continue stretching their titles thin across the year to stem the drought, the next E3 will be as lackluster as this one in titles.
Maybe 1 new zelda plus some forgettable titles just like this one in 2016 or something.
E3 is meant to hype the fans up.
Show them what the future of gaming holds.
Not showing them what is coming up JUST for this and next year.
I have a question.
Will this survey results be sent to Nintendo? Will my vote even matter?
Because they really need to see this. The entire direct was a trainwreck from start to finish. Im saying all that because i care.
Terrible jokes and skits with the puppets and overall very disappointing showcase of games killed me.
Nah, nothing will go wrong. Ps4 is already bricking literally right out of the box, coupled with all the bad news they kept under wraps until a few weeks before launch is taking a toll on their reception with the public.
Microsoft lost their footing with the recent bad press as well.
If I were to give to a prediction, the Wii U wont be doing as badly at all. But it would be a little far to claim that it will dominate the market as well.
I love the trailer.
Starts off like Mario galaxy, then suddenly im watching a chips ahoy commercial.
I would honestly get a Wii U if they weren't sold at 420 USD in my country, as much as I really want to get it at 350 USD.
