The new home of
Due to the Gulf Stream, Pembrokeshire has a relatively temperate climate and has been attracting holidaymakers for decades that come to enjoy the endless miles of superb beaches. From dramatic cliffs teeming with birdlife to sleepy river inlets and charming towns and villages, it's all in accessible from your very own Pembrokeshire holiday cottage.
You'll discover a county bursting with spectacular scenery, walks and wildlife, food and drink and much more.
Choose from dozens of world-class beaches, some so secluded you may have one to yourself, even in high summer! Enjoy clifftop walks above the shores or take a tranquil stroll around the many secluded inland backwaters of the Cleddau rivers.
Pop into Tenby and enjoy the famous view of the brightly painted houses that surround the harbour, or explore the town with its winding streets and many tempting shops. Why not take a short boat ride from the harbour to Caldey Island and enjoy the kind of calm that seems to emanate from its Cistercian Abbey, not to mention the aroma of the unique perfumes made by the monks who live and work there.
Get up close to seals, seabirds or spot the occasional dolphin on one of many boat trips from the harbour. You can book fishing trips, whether you are a beginner or an old hand. With many Pembrokeshire cottages based in and around this busy part of the county, it's no wonder so many visitors make it their base for exploring the region.
There's a lot for youngsters in Pembrokeshire too, like the award-winning Folly Farm Adventure Park or fun for young and old at Ritec Valley Quad Bikes near Penally. Why not catch a wave and go surfing or wind-surfing from its western beaches like Newgale or Freshwater West. Another haven of calm is St David's, where the magnificent historic Cathedral is not to be missed.
It's a county of discovery, from coastal splendour to rural calm, with pretty villages, bustling towns and magnificent beaches. There's a lot to do and many places to go, whether you choose to see it on foot, by cycle, car, bus or even by boat.
But don't take our word for it. Seek out this fascinating region for yourself from one of our selection of holiday cottages in Pembrokeshire and discover a county that's quite unlike any other, either in Wales or anywhere in the UK.

We ate at Northern Spy when it first opened and forgot how good it was. You can apply all the labels about local foods but it is not fussy but satisfying and appealing.
I had the turkey sandwich which sounds bland but they slather on Big Ed's cheese, onion-jalapeno marmalade, and aioli all is forgiven. There is a salad on the side.
Mrs. Adu had a purslane salad which was crisp and also topped with Big Ed's cheese. I wonder if his sister Muffet makes the curds and whey.
We split french fries that were cooked in duck fat, that were tender on the inside and crisp on the outside. Perfect.
It was crowded for a Friday lunch.
I have written about Defonte's before. It was in Red Hook, Brooklyn for 75 years before it opened an outpost on Third Ave and 21 Street in Manhattan. They make sandwiches and all the sandwiches taste like old Brooklyn. In fact one sandwich (sangwitch, a Brooklyn alternative pronounciation) you rarely see any more, potato and egg. And then they have variations on that with red pepper and optional ham on top. They make great, great meatballs and even their roast beef is better than anyone else's.
While looking at the chalkboard, I noticed they had a sandwich called the "Greaseball." On the way out I spoke to the woman (older than 50) who was the cashier who was no doubt related to the owners one way or another. I know a family runs both places.
I told her that if I ordered a "greaseball" in Brooklyn, it would probably end in a fight. "You know, give me a meatball parm and melt the muzzie real good and a yeah, give me a "greaseball." Boom. The woman laughed and agreed it would be a problem on 18th Avenue in Brooklyn but in Manhattan it is cute. But even 18th Avenue is losing its Italian flavor and becoming more Asian.

Funeral expenses a fact of life
Relevant offers
We interrupt the cheer of the festive season to remind you that you're going to die.
If you thought Christmas spending was a strain on the bank account, the cost of your funeral will see you turn in your freshly dug grave.
Sure, death is a one-off expense (unless you believe in reincarnation) but it can easily set you back more than $10,000.
If you pop your clogs without a plan in place, you could leave friends and relatives picking up the tab.
And that can be quite an impressive bill.
The headstone alone starts from around $1000, while the coffin will usually cost at least the same again.
Add another $500 to $700 for embalming, and $1200 to $3000 for council burial fees.
That's not to mention the flowers, service, celebrant, venue, death notices and other sundry expenses, says Funeral Directors Association president Eion McKinnon.
"My average funeral would be somewhere in the vicinity of $9000, today."
Of course, your final send-off doesn't have to be an extravagant affair. The most crucial factor is whether you opt for a burial or cremation.
Cemetery plots have become hot real estate in some cities, with already heavily subsidised prices soaring.
Souly Cremations is a new entrant to the market, specifically targeted at those who want a more affordable disembarkment from the realm of the living.
"A lot of people are a bit more open to a crematorium now," says managing director Aleisha Morris.
One lady who phoned her recently had spent $12,000 burying her father.
"I think people are kind of realising it's crazy to spend that much on a funeral."
Souly Cremations' cheapest, no-frills package costs $1795- which gets you a basic casket, all the documents and return of the ashes.
Rather than paying big money for funeral ceremonies, Morris says families are increasingly conducting DIY affairs.
"We'll give them the ashes back, and they'll have a memorial service at an RSA or a barbecue at home, or just whatever they're wanting to organise," she says.
"Everyone's really different, but definitely the cost side of it is a major."
If you know you're leaving enough money behind to cover your affairs, you might not be worried about putting relatives under pressure.
But bear in mind that it can be months between your death and the actual settlement of your estate.
Funeral homes are running a business, says McKinnon - they have to get paid too.
If they don't, some will charge a monthly fee or interest on the unpaid bill after a certain period.
This means families often do have to come up with the cash, and at quite short notice if the death was unexpected.
So what can you do to make sure your death is as stress-free as possible for grieving relatives?
Relying on government assistance is not a good idea.
Work and Income will pay up to a maximum of $1971, which is reduced by every dollar you have to your name.
"The WINZ grant is means-tested, and of course it doesn't go very far at all," says McKinnon.
Theoretically, it could cover the most basic cremation with no service, but it's not always easy getting the money.
Then there's insurance, usually marketed with a tug at the heartstrings of how you need to protect your family.
"At the moment there's a huge push by insurance companies for people to take out policies," says McKinnon.
The Insurance and Savings Ombudsman (ISO) scheme is not a big fan of funeral plan cover.
In one of the cases it investigated, a pensioner's premiums were hiked to the point where she could no longer afford to pay them.
She had already paid more than $3000 - which was more than the actual sum she was insured for.
The ISO calculated that if she made it to the age of 90, she would have ended up forking out a further $10,800.
And yet the brochure the company sent her claimed she could "protect [her] family from less than the cost of a cup of coffee".
"The ISO Scheme is particularly concerned about the emotional nature of the marketing around these policies and whether consumers' attention is drawn to the fact that the premiums paid may exceed the benefit payable," the ISO says.
Consumer New Zealand suggests you check you're not already covered.
Some companies provide up to $15,000 for funerals in standard life insurance products, so you don't need to buy a separate policy.
Another option is the pre-paid funeral, which makes up a small but significant part of the market.
McKinnon couldn't say how much exactly, but says its popularity has been reasonably steady over the last 10 years or so.
Unlike insurance, the money you contribute to a pre-paid plan funeral trust is set aside for your death, regardless of whether you stop contributing.
Funeral-link, a scheme endorsed by McKinnon's organisation, offers two options.
You can take out a fixed plan, which locks in the funeral services you want at today's prices.
That carries a set-up fee of $400 plus GST, and is only available for cremation.
Otherwise you can get a non-fixed plan with a set-up fee of $150, plus GST.
The funds you contribute are drawn down to pay for services in the prices of the day, with any extra costs or surpluses returned to the estate.
With administration fees of $50 plus GST every year or part-year, it's still not necessarily a very cost-effective option.
If you had the prescience to fix a sum of money 15 years before you actually died, you'd be rewarded with fees of something like $1300.
Consumer NZ also warns that if you change your mind about signing up, it's hard to get your money out.
"These plans aren't for everyone and there are simpler ways of funding your final farewell," it says.
One alternative option might be to set up a savings account or pool of money clearly earmarked for funeral costs.
At the very least, you have to give the morbid topic some thought.
Encouragingly, most of us are.
McKinnon has two decades' experience in the industry. "Our contemporary generations are much more open to talking about this," he says.
"They ask questions, they want to know - and we're very willing to provide those answers."

Link Exchange with Bruce's Booklist
New Reviews:
Newer Listings:
The post-war economics department after World War ll was classically liberal, and advocated government intervention, regulation, services for the economically disadvantaged, and higher taxation. The University was not yet identified as a "school of economics." Eventually, Milton Friedman, an economic empiricist, transitioned to a philosopy of less taxation, less government regulation, and the sanctioning of societal inequities which helped to fuel and propel the 80's capitalist, Laissez Faire economy. After President Reagan, President George W. Bush was the chief adherent to this economic philosophy.
This fascinating book takes us through the early development of the economics department at the University to its current incarnation. A number of important economists taught and/or studied at the University. Even though they may not be well-known outside the field, their influence, culminating in the work of Dr. Milton Friedman, has strongly impacted today's global market. Both the concept of liberal economics as well as the evolution of the science of economics itself are elaborately clarified througout the book. The reader will make his/her personal judgement about the economic philosophy propagated by Dr. Friedman and the later Chicago School. A wrong turn in the history of the United States? An inevitable transition? Lanny Ebenstein is a lecturer at the UCSB He has written 10 books of economic thought, including the first biographies of economists Frederich Hayek and Milton Friedman.

Grizzlies edge Mavericks in OT to take West's No. 7 seed
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The Memphis Grizzlies had every reason to ease up in the regular season finale after pushing hard the past three months to reach the postseason.
Instead, they kept grinding and grabbed the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference.
Mike Conley hit two free throws with 1.1 seconds left in overtime, and the Memphis Grizzlies moved up from the eighth seed by edging the Dallas Mavericks 106-105 on Wednesday night.
"We've been holding on very tight for a long time ..." Memphis coach Dave Joerger said. "Getting 50 wins is something you want on your resume as a player, and people remember those. Those are special seasons. It's a standard, a golden standard I think."
Memphis became the seventh team in the West with 50 wins this season with the victory. The Grizzlies, who set a franchise record with a 14th straight home win in a single season, will open the postseason Saturday night at Oklahoma City. They beat the Thunder in the semifinals last year with Russell Westbrook out.
"Playing Grizzlies' basketball going into the postseason was key, and we wanted to try to keep that momentum going," Grizzlies guard Tony Allen said.
Monta Ellis missed a 17-footer before Conley drew the foul driving to the basket. Dallas had one last shot, but Ellis missed from the top of the key.
"It felt good, but it didn't go down," Ellis said. "I think we did a great job. We competed. It went down to the wire, and they won."
Conley was face guarding his player when he noticed Ellis got his shot off before the buzzer.
"I was like, 'How'd he get that open?' " Conley said. "When I saw it hit the rim, I was like 'Thank you, God.' That would have been a tough one to lose."
Avoiding No. 1 seed San Antonio in the first round was the only thing on the line, and Memphis has lost 14 of its last 16 against the Spurs with the Mavericks losing nine straight.
Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said the Mavericks will be fine with starting in San Antonio on Sunday giving Dirk Nowitzki and Ellis time to rest. Nowitzki banged his right knee late in the first half and played the second half with a sleeve protecting his leg.
"Tonight is a good indication of the fight we have in us, and we're going to take that fight to San Antonio," Carlisle said.
Nowitzki called this game a tough loss, but he also is positive about facing the Spurs.
"Eventually we will win one," Nowitzki said. "Why would it not be Game 1 or Game 2? We are going to go out there and let it rip in Game 1."
Ellis scored 14 of his 18 points after halftime, including seven in overtime. But Conley had five in the extra period, including the clinching free throws. He was 5 of 7 at the line, though the Grizzlies were 15 of 25 for the game.
Zach Randolph led Memphis with 27 points and 14 rebounds, and Marc Gasol had 19 points, shooting 9 of 13. He also had nine rebounds and nine assists. Conley finished with 22, and Allen had 13. Courtney Lee added 11 despite shooting 3 of 10 from the floor.
Nowitzki led the Mavericks with 30 points. Devin Harris and Brandan Wright each had 10. Harris also had 10 assists.
The Grizzlies missed their chance to put away the win in regulation.
Memphis was up 93-90 and had just gotten the ball back when Conley crashed into Harris for a charge, giving the ball back to Dallas with 20.3 seconds left in regulation. Ellis then hit a 3-pointer from 26 feet out on the right wing with 13 seconds left over Lee tying it up at 93, and the Grizzlies couldn't score to avoid overtime.
In overtime, the Mavericks last led 105-102 on a 3-pointer from Nowitzki with 46 seconds remaining. Dallas didn't score again. Allen had a putback with 38 seconds to go, then Conley sealed the win.
The Mavericks already took the season series winning the first three games by double digits. They were the last team to beat the Grizzlies in Memphis on Feb. 5, and owner Mark Cuban was at the end of the bench cheering them on.
Game notes
Mike Miller played all 82 games for the Grizzlies for only the second time in his career his rookie season with Orlando in 2000-01. He became only the 23rd player in NBA history to play a full season in his 14th season or later. ... Memphis won its fifth straight. ... Dallas snapped a six-game road winning streak.

A slow-moving storm system parked off the coast of California will make a move for the coastline later Saturday into Easter Sunday.
Deep blue skies and dry weather across the interior central and northern parts of the state will come to an end starting Saturday morning. Rain will follow shortly after, lasting throughout the day Sunday.
Some of the first places to receive the rain will be found from San Francisco northward along the coast to Eureka Saturday morning. The rain will reach more inland places, such as Sacramento, Redding and Chico, toward the evening hours.
Flooding rain and widespread travel problems are not expected from this storm, but the wet weather will still be enough to dampen any outdoor Easter plans you might have.
In addition to the rain, there will also be the risk for some isolated thunderstorms across northern California, especially on Sunday. While the thunderstorms will not be widespread, those that do develop could produce briefly blinding downpours and pea-sized hail.
There will also be some accumulating snow in the highest elevations of Klamath Mountains and across the Sierra Nevada, but most of it will remain above pass level.
Most of the rain will miss areas farther south in places such as Los Angeles, Bakersfield and San Diego.
Temperatures across Southern California will remain in the 70s and 80s across inland areas, but a gusty onshore wind will keep temperatures only in the 50s and 60s along the coast.
The rain will begin to clear out of the state for the start of the workweek, with only some clouds and the threat for a shower remaining for Monday across the northern part of the state.
A change in the weather pattern will bring an extended period of dry and sunny conditions over much of the south-central United States.
SpaceX is preparing to launch another rocket into space, and as they do so, they will be monitoring the weather carefully to make sure that it does not interfere.
Residents of the southeastern United States may feel like the calendar has flipped ahead to Memorial Day with warm and muggy weather in place for the start of May.
May is picking up where April left off with record-challenging warmth surging back into the northwestern United States.
Dry days will be hard to come by in the northeastern United States for the first week of May as storm systems bring frequent rain to the region.
Torrential rain triggered flooding across southern Louisiana over the weekend, submerging streets and closing major highways.
Montana (1899)
Severe snowstorm: 33.8" in Havre (24.8 inches of which fell in 24 hours).
New Orleans, LA (1978)
Persistent thunderstorms caused worst flooding in 30 years at New Orleans; lightning ignited an oil storage tank at Covent, LA.

Outsmart your lease by borrowing pets
So, your lease says that you can't have a pet. And even if you could, the pet that you want won't fit comfortably into your Dallas apartment. No problem! Residents can get their pet fix through venues throughout the city. And if you volunteer, you can get fuzzy animal lovin' for free!
Of course you can't house a horse in your apartment. You probably can't even get a horse through the door. But you can go to Rocking M and take classes in riding, horsemanship and much more. For free fun, ask to volunteer.
Not for the faint of heart, there are volunteer opportunities at Audubon Dallas. Get up close and personal with snakes, falcons, and all sorts of wild critters. Trust me, it's much more fun to play with spiders when you know they'll be there instead of having one surprise you in your shower.
If you want to play with relatively tame dogs and cats while helping to care for their basic needs, volunteer with the Humane Society of Dallas County. You can have all of the joy of frolicking with kitties and puppies without worrying about your furniture. Find similar opportunities at Dallas Animal Services.
For extra bonus points on the do-gooder scale, volunteer to help the sick and elderly while hanging out with dogs and cats via Paws Across Texas, a pet assisted therapy program. I can almost guarantee there will be a special place for you in heaven.
More do-gooder bonus points are available for those who like a bit of risk, adventure, and TLC. Become a wildlife rehabilitator, or volunteer as an assistant through Texas Parks and Wildlife. It's tough to see hurt animals but there is a great reward for helping them get back on their feet (or paws, or claws, or whatever).

Although she garnered some attention at the outset of her Hollywood career, Virginia Madsen found her star eclipsed in the 1990s by her older brother Michael's jolting, thuggish performances for director Quentin Tarantino. After landing a plum role in the acclaimed 2004 indie Sideways, however, Madsen was showered with the kind of praise she'd been denied for nearly two decades in the business.
A native of the Chicago suburbs and the daughter of a PBS documentarian, Madsen learned her trade in city theater productions and summer performance camps. She made her way to Hollywood in the early '80s with her then-fiancé/fellow performer Billy Campbell. Making an inauspicious debut at the age of 19 as Andrew McCarthy's would-be first-time conquest in the teen sex comedy Class, she would go on to more noteworthy roles in director David Lynch's sci-fi epic Dune and the slick but heartfelt romantic comedy Electric Dreams (both 1984). The rest of the decade wouldn't be quite as kind, as Madsen shuffled from part to part, appearing in a supporting capacity in both ambitious arthouse fare (1987's Slamdance) and forgettable Hollywood comedies (1988's Hot to Trot and Mr. North, the latter of which sparked a relationship with -- and three-year marriage to -- director Danny Huston). The beginning of the next decade fared somewhat better for Madsen. After a memorably brassy turn opposite Don Johnson in Dennis Hopper's steamy, seamy The Hot Spot (1990), she raked in some box-office cash in the minor horror hit Candyman (1992). Small performances in the high-profile, prestige pics Ghosts of Mississippi and The Rainmaker notwithstanding, Madsen all but disappeared from the late-'90s feature marketplace, as most of her films were either made for television or delivered directly to video-store rental shelves. Finding a more receptive outlet on weekly TV, Madsen snagged prominent recurring roles on NBC's Frasier and American Dreams around the turn of the century.
But it was writer/director Alexander Payne's low-budget character study Sideways that had Madsen clamoring for the ever-elusive "role of a lifetime." Payne was mostly unfamiliar with the actress' work, but her audition for the part of Maya -- a weary, contemplative divorcée with a fine-tuned taste for wine -- convinced him that she was the perfect complement to lead performer Paul Giamatti's high-strung sad sack Miles. Toning down her Hollywood glamour for the film, Madsen turned the small part into something of a revelation, and as reviewers showered praise upon the film in late 2004, the actress hauled in a truckload of awards from critics' groups as well as Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actress.
Although Madsen lost the Oscar bid to Cate Blanchett, high-profile offers rolled in after her Sideways coup. Early in 2006, she played Beth Stanfield, the wife of Harrison Ford's technology executive Jack Stanfield, in Richard Loncraine's disappointing hostage thriller Firewall; that summer, she also claimed an enigmatic part as a beguiling angel of death in Robert Altman's swan song, A Prairie Home Companion. Madsen began 2007 with two supporting turns in the same February weekend: in Michael Polish's The Astronaut Farmer, a quirky drama about a retired NASA astronaut turned farmer (Billy Bob Thornton) who builds a spacecraft in his barn; and in the higher-profile supernatural thriller The Number 23, playing wife to an unraveling Jim Carrey.

Here's the question you clicked on:
Would it be a good thing to have a rule that a neophyte's questions are only answered (initially) by lifesavers? I am asking for comments (please don't yell at me:-)
And if any lifesaver knows to answer to his question?
Right, there is the possibilty that a neophyte might not stay a neophyte for very long ie they have knowledge but they have to start at the bottom anyway.
the "rule" should be: that any answers given have to be explained ....
I agree with that completely, I am really thinking it can be quite difficult for a skilled math person to "talk to" a "real" neophyte (unless they have teacher training or something equivalent).
And reading many posts of the simpler kind with a one number reply from an expert is a bit depressing.
the "something equivalent" might be an inate ability to express the math in a language that can be comprehanded by the "neophyte". and as a side note, these titles they dole out should not be viewed as the intelligence level of the person asking or answering. All it does is indicate how long a person has actually used the site ...
Yes, I understand that, I did think about that. As I said a neophyte that is not really a neophyte will not stay like that for long. The neophyte of the "2+2" troublemaker variety will be discouraged if he can't get the attention he thinks he deserves. On the other side, it gives (real) lifesavers a chance to practice and advance.

Jimmy Carter supports same-sex 'marriage' as he launches his new Bible
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, March 20, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) – Former president Jimmy Carter has been strongly identified as a "Born Again" Christian and as a liberal Democrat for nearly five decades. He is once more blending those roles as he promotes "his" latest book, his own study Bible.
The NIV Lessons from Life Bible: Personal Reflections with Jimmy Carter contains the full text of the New International Version of the Bible and the former president's prayers, reflections, and asides.
During his book tour to promote a study of the Scriptures, Carter mentioned he supports same-sex "marriage."
President Carter told Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, senior religion editor of The Huffington Post:
Homosexuality was well known in the ancient world, well before Christ was born and Jesus never said a word about homosexuality. In all of his teachings about multiple things – he never said that gay people should be condemned. I personally think it is very fine for gay people to be married in civil ceremonies. (Emphasis added.)
However, he said he drew the line, "maybe arbitrarily, in requiring by law that churches must marry people."
"If a church decides not to, then government laws shouldn't require them to," he said, adding his own church accepts "gay members on an equal basis."
When Raushenbush pressed him about whether he believed the Bible is God's word, Carter answered, "the basic principles of the Bible are taught by God, but written down by human beings deprived of modern day knowledge. So there is some fallibility in the writings of the Bible. But the basic principles are applicable to my life and I don't find any conflict among them."
"There are many verses in the Bible that you could interpret very rigidly," Carter said, "and that makes you ultimately into a fundamentalist."
"Fundamentalists," he wrote in his 2005 book Our Endangered Values, tend "to demagogue emotional issues" and "are often angry and sometimes resort to verbal or even physical abuse against those who interfere with the implementation of their agenda." Carter applied this term to figures as divergent as the Ayatollah Khomeini and Pope John Paul II, to atheist neoconservatives and his fellow Baptists.
He contended the "mandated subservience of women by Christian fundamentalists" contributes to the Islamic practice of female genital mutilation.
Carter wrote that he exchanged harsh words with the late Pope John Paul II during a state visit over what Carter classified as the Pope's "perpetuation of the subservience of women." He added, "there was more harshness when we turned to the subject of 'liberation theology'."
The former president, who has released recordings of the Sunday School classes he teaches and written previous books about the Bible, disassociated himself from the Southern Baptist Convention in 2000. He and former President Bill Clinton attempted to realign the Baptist faith in a more liberal direction by calling for a new Baptist convention in 2008. The formation of this new Baptist body, he wrote, constituted an "historic event for the Baptists in this country and perhaps for Christianity."
Carter, whose single term in office was marred by turbulence at home and abroad, has denounced those who disagree with his political views in strident terms.
Pro-lifers, Carter wrote, "do not extend their concern to the baby who is born." He instead suggested the nation support contraceptive sex education, taxpayer funding of international "family planning," and embryonic stem cell research.
In addition to nuptial vows, Carter encouraged the military to end the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in 2007, and in 2010, he told the website Big Think it was time to elect "a gay person" as president.
The new study Bible, published by Zondervan, is available from bookstores nationwide.
BlogsFaith, Family Fri Apr 29, 2016 - 7:57 pm EST
Please, enough with the cult of pop stars. Our kids need real heroes.
April 29, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Two things happen each time a significant pop culture figure dies: Christians attempt to dredge up some moderately conservative or traditional thing that figure said at some point during his long career, and mainstream media attempts to convince a society thoroughly bored with such things that the person in question was a ground-breaking radical. The two most recent examples are the androgynous David Bowie—a cringe-worthy and possibly blasphemous video of him dropping to his knees during a rock performance and uttering the Lord's Prayer circulated just following his death--and the pop star Prince.
I've had to suppress my gag reflexes many times as I saw my Facebook newsfeed fill up with memes sporting quotes from Prince about his faith and articles announcing that the musician who "embraced gender fluidity before his time," according to Slate and "will always be a gay icon" according to The Atlantic, was against gay marriage. Sure, maybe he was. But only a Christian community so shell-shocked by the rapid spread of the rainbow blitzkrieg and the catastrophic erosion of religious liberty would find this remarkable. After all, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton said the same thing barely one election cycle ago. As one obituary celebrating Prince's paradigm-smashing sexual performances written by Dodai Stewart put it:
Dig, if you will, a picture: The year is 1980. Many states still have sodomy laws. The radio is playing feel-good ear candy like Captain and Tennille and KC and the Sunshine Band. TV hits include the sunny, toothy blond shows Three's Company and Happy Days. There's no real word for "gender non-conforming." But here's what you see: A man. Clearly a man. Hairy, mostly naked body…a satiny bikini bottom. But those eyes. Rimmed in black, like a fantasy belly dancer. The full, pouty lips of a pin-up girl. Long hair. A tiny, svelte thing. Ethnically ambiguous, radiating lust. What is this? A man. Clearly a man. No. Not just a man. A Prince.
Right. So let's not get too carried away, shall we? I know Christians are desperate to justify their addictions to the pop culture trash that did so much to sweep away Christian values in the first place and I know that latching on to the occasional stray conservative belief that may manifest itself in pop culture figures makes many feel as if perhaps we are not so weird and countercultural, but this bad habit we have of claiming these figures upon their passing is downright damaging.
After all, parents should be teaching their children about real heroes, titans of the faith who changed the world. Heroes of the early church who stood down tyrants, halted gladiatorial combat, and crusaded against injustice in a world where death was all the rage. These men and women were real rebels who stood for real values. If we want to point our children to people they should emulate, we should be handing them books like Seven Men: And the Secret of Their Greatness by the brilliant writer Eric Metaxas rather than the pop albums Purple Rain or Lovesexy by Prince. If parents spend their time glorifying the predecessors of Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus instead of highlighting heroes like William Wilberforce, they can hardly be surprised when their children choose to emulate the former rather than the latter.
The mainstream media's adulation of these pop stars is equally irritating. The unspoken truth of these obituaries is that the flamboyant antics of Prince and the rest of the so-called rebellious drag queens populating the rock n' roll scene have been mainstream for a long time already. Want to see dozens of bizarre body piercings? Weird hairdos? Purple mohawks? Dudes with nail polish? Strange tattoos? Easy. Just go onto any university campus, or any public high school without a dress code. With headphones wedged firmly in their ear canals, they can pump the cleverly commercialized "counterculture" straight into their skulls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
More than that, some of these courageous rebels have actually sued their employers to ensure that they can let their establishment-smashing freak flag fly at work, too. An Edmonton woman with 22 visible body piercings complained that her employer was unfair because apparently she was being discriminated against "based on body modifications." Yeah! The Man must be told, after all. And if he doesn't agree, we will lawyer up. I wonder what the shrieking rebels of the early days would think about the snivelling children of the current grievance culture.
So these days, the media's eulogizing about aging culture warriors who went mainstream a long time ago rings a bit hollow. After all, most rock n' roll stars these days look tame compared to what shows up in the children's section at Pride Week. Freaky is normal now. Normal is radical. Welcome to 2016.
When Christians are posting nostalgic tributes to the rebels who helped inoculate their children against the radical views of Christianity in the first place, you know that the victories of the counterculture are complete and Stockholm syndrome has set in.

Target boycott climbs to over 1 million
April 29, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Over 1 million people have signed a pledge to boycott Target over its new policy allowing men to access women's bathrooms.
The American Family Association's Boycott Target petition gained traction immediately, reaching the one million mark in only nine days.
"Corporate America must stop bullying people who disagree with the radical left agenda to remake society into their progressive image," said AFA President Tim Wildmon. "#BoycottTarget has resonated with Americans. Target's harmful policy poses a danger to women and children; nearly everyone has a mother, wife, daughter or friend who is put in jeopardy by this policy. Predators and voyeurs would take advantage of the policy to prey on those who are vulnerable. And it's clear now that over one million customers agree."
Target defended its policy in a statement saying that it believes everyone "deserves to be protected from discrimination, and treated equally" and earlier this week, a Target spokeswoman defended the policy as "inclusive."
The AFA said that unisex bathrooms are a common-sense alternative to allowing men unfettered access to women's bathrooms.
"Target should keep separate facilities for men and women, but for the trans community and for those who simply like using the bathroom alone, a single occupancy unisex option should be provided," the petition says.
The AFA warned that Target's new policy benefits sexual predators and poses a danger to women and children.
"With Target publicly boasting that men can enter women's bathrooms, where do you think predators are going to go?" the petition asked.
There have been numerous instances of predatory men accessing women's bathrooms and intimate facilities in the wake of "transgender" bathroom policies allowing them to do so.
"We want to make it very clear that AFA does not believe the transgender community poses this danger to the wider public," said Wildmon. "Rather, this misguided and reckless policy provides a possible gateway for predators who are out there."

Amazing new video captures the flash of light the moment life begins
CHICAGO, April 29, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Life begins with a spark – literally.
Researchers at Northwestern University have documented the striking event in a new video that accompanies a study published this week.
At the moment of conception, the egg releases massive amounts of zinc, which creates a spark that can be seen with the aid of a microscope.
"It was remarkable," said Teresa Woodruff, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University's medical school. "To see the zinc radiate out in a burst from each human egg was breathtaking."
The research team had noted the zinc sparks before in mice eggs but had never observed the process in human beings.
"All of biology starts at the time of fertilization," Woodruff said, "yet we know next to nothing about the events that occur in the human."
One of the researchers, Northwestern chemistry professor Thomas O'Halloran, explained the science behind the process in 2014.
"The egg first has to stockpile zinc and then must release some of the zinc to successfully navigate maturation, fertilization and the start of embryogenesis," he said. "On cue, at the time of fertilization, we see the egg release thousands of packages, each dumping a million zinc atoms, and then it's quiet."
"Each egg has four or five of these periodic sparks," O'Halloran said. "It is beautiful to see, orchestrated much like a symphony."
Since the amount of zinc in an egg correlates with successful implantation and birth, the Northwestern researchers are highlighting that their research may be used to assist in vitro fertilization.
But that raises concerns given the grave moral issues with IVF, which involves creating numerous embryos that are either killed or frozen. Moral theologians also emphasize that IVF is an injustice even for the children who are born as a result, as they are created in a lab rather than in the union of man and woman.
The study may have far-reaching consequences the research team did not intend, such as strengthening public belief in the longstanding scientific consensus that life begins at the moment of conception/fertilization.
Many of those who saw the Northwestern video said it testifies to the beauty of life and the shallow lies that buttress the argument of abortion-on-demand.
"I saw this, and I was blown away by it," said Rush Limbaugh on his nationally syndicated radio program Thursday afternoon. "For anybody in the mainstream media to openly admit that life begins at conception" defies arguments that an unborn child is only "tissue mass."
Researchers released a separate video of the zinc spark taking place in a mammalian egg more than a year ago:
The paper, which is entitled "The Zinc Spark is an Inorganic Signature of Human Egg Activation," was published by Scientific Reports on April 26.
