Welcome to the MBT Financial Corp. First Quarter Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Please note, today's conference is being recorded.
Before we begin today's call, I would like to remind everyone that this call may involve certain statements that are not based on historical facts and are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Section 21A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements, which are based on various assumptions, some of which are beyond the company's control, may be identified by reference to a future period or periods or by the use of forward-looking terminologies such as may, will, believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, continue or similar terms or variations on these terms or the negative of these terms. Actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including but not limited to, those related to the economic environment, particularly in the market areas in which the company operates; competitive products and pricing; fiscal and monetary policies of the U.S. government; changes in government regulations affecting financial institutions, including regulatory fees and capital requirements; changes in prevailing interest rates; acquisitions and the integration of acquired businesses; credit risk management; asset liability management; changes in the financial and securities markets, including changes with respect to the market value of our financial assets; the availability and costs associated with sources of liquidity; and the ability of the company to resolve or dispose of problem loans. MBT Financial Corp. does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions, which may be made to any forward-looking statements made to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

On the conference today from MBT Financial Corp., we have Doug Chaffin, President and Chief Executive Officer; John Skibski, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and Tom Myers, Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Manager. We will begin the call with management's prepared remarks and then open the call up to questions.
At this point, I would like to turn the call over to Mr. Chaffin.
H. Douglas Chaffin
Thank you, Laura, and good morning, everyone. At the close of business yesterday, we announced a net profit for the first quarter of 2013, totaling $1.1 million or $0.06 per share. This compares favorably to the first quarter of 2012, when considering actual quarter earnings for both periods. And in the effect of securities gains for both periods, net income for the first quarter of 2012 totaled $117,000, compared to $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2013. This represents the seventh consecutive quarter in which we posted positive earnings. Credit related charges have continued to decline.
The net interest margin, however, declined from 2.92% in the fourth quarter of 2012 to 2.82% in the first quarter of 2013.
Asset yields continue to be challenged due to relatively low loan demand and a high -- highly liquid balance sheet. As a result, net interest income for the quarter of 2013 declined by $884,000, compared to that of first quarter of 2012. It is notable, however, that noninterest income, net of securities gains, increased by $401,000 or 11% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012. Increases in wealth management income and origination fees for mortgage loans sold led the way for this improvement, with increases of 13% and 137%, respectively.
Our occupancy, marketing and equipment expenses showed notable declines in the first quarter, compared to a year ago of $176,000 for a interest and improvement. The most [ph] significant improvement in noninterest expenses occurred in credit-related charges.
Collection expenses, losses on ORE properties and expenses related to these -- expenses related to carrying these properties combined for a reduction of $420,000 in cost for the first quarter 2013, compared to that in 2012, or 53%.
In addition, due to reductions in loan portfolio balances and improvements in underlying asset values, we were able to reduce our provision for loan losses by $750,000 in the first quarter compared to last year, with 33%.
We continue to be engaged with the IRS for an ongoing audit for the years 2007 through 2010 . We are optimistic that a settlement agreement will be reached in the near future, without the need to record significant additional tax expenses beyond what has been previously recorded. No expense regarding this pending settlement was recorded for the first quarter.
We continue to see gradual improvements in local economic conditions as well, while total problem assets and nonperforming loans have remained at the same level for the past couple of quarters, there are underlying improvements in asset quality. Over 40% of our NPAs are performing renegotiated loans. We continue to see reduced levels of past dues.

We are very pleased with this price. In particular for comparison with what we view as relevant analogs in France, the Esbriet price is similar to the current price of Tracleer, an oral drug for pulmonary arterial hypertension and that is priced at €25750 and the prices for the treatments of lung cancer such as Tarceva or Iressa are in the same -- very much in the same range at the price granted for Esbriet in France.In addition the Esbriet price is above those of the multiple sclerosis drugs Tysabri and Gilenya which are priced in France at €23500 and €22700 respectively. So within this context we are very, very pleased with the Esbriet price. Esbriet will be reimbursable after it is published in the French Journal Officiel year which we expect to happen in the fourth quarter of this year. We are planning to launch Esbriet as soon as possible after this publication of the Esbriet price in French Journal Officiel. And when our commercial team is fully recruited and trained to promote Esbriet.

Posted on 04/10/2007 10:07:35 AM PDT by xzins
Questions about Preterism
and it's Reconstruction Ally
This article was originally from two timely editorials of The Standard Bearer Vol. 75; No. 10; February 15, 1999 (A Timely Question about Preterism), and Vol. 75; No. 16; May 15, 1999 (The Preterism of Christian Reconstruction).
A reader has asked about "preterism." The question is occasioned by the series of editorials defending (Reformed) amillennialism (Standard Bearer, Jan. 15, 1995 - Dec. 15, 1996). The subject is worthy of editorial treatment.
The question and my response follow.
I have read your articles on amillennialism and have learned much. I have some dealings with people who hold to a postmillennial view. Lately, some people have come to our church who hold to a preterist view. Do you know much about this view? Do you know what good books or articles I could read? They deny the second coming of Christ and many other important truths. I hope that you can help me.
Michael Mc Cullough
Ripon, CA
What "Preterism" is
Your question is timely.
"Preterism" is a heresy that, astonishingly, is creeping into Reformed and Presbyterian churches. That it does so is largely due to postmillennial Christian Reconstructionism. Against this error I was fighting in the series of editorials that occasioned your question.
Your question is also timely because preterism is about time, specifically the time of Jesus' second coming, the resurrection of the dead, the final judgment, and the renewal of the creation.
Preterism holds that the time of Jesus' second coming (Greek: parousia) was A.D. 70. The second coming of Jesus was the destruction of Jerusalem in that year. Preterism holds that the second coming of Christ promised in Scripture was exclusively the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. A.D. 70 was the end of the ages prophesied by Scripture. Christ came then; the dead were raised then; the final judgment took place then; creation was renewed then.
To expect a visible, bodily coming of Jesus, a resurrection of the dead, a final judgment, and a cataclysmic destruction of the present creation in the future on the basis of any prophecy of Scripture is mistaken. All is past.
Hence, "preterism." The term itself derives from a Latin word meaning 'past.'
Basic to the heresy is its interpretation of Matthew 24 as referring exclusively to the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. The preterist insists that verse 34 is decisive for this interpretation: "This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled."
Preterism also makes much of the fact that Scripture teaches that Jesus' coming is "near," or "at hand." Explaining this "nearness" in terms of a very brief period of time according to man's standards, preterism concludes that the New Testament predicted the coming of Christ within 40 years at the most. This prediction was fulfilled in A.D. 70. It was completely and exhaustively fulfilled in A.D. 70.
A recent book promoting preterism is The Promise of His Coming: Interpreting New Testament Statements concerning the Time of Christ's Appearance (Chicago: Laudemont Press, 1996), by R. C. Leonard and J. E. Leonard. The book contends that all the eschatological prophecies of Scripture have been fulfilled in the past, in A.D. 70.
Since the coming of Christ, as predicted in the New Testament documents, has already taken place, little scriptural basis exists for perpetuating the doctrine that it still lies in the future (p. 216).
We have presented the evidence that the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 represents the fulfillment of what the apostolic church knew as the promise of Jesus' coming and the end of the age. The future hope of today's church, therefore, lies in another direction (p. 219).
For today's Christians, the last days to which the New Testament refers lie in the past. Our task is not to anticipate the end, but to live in the new community inaugurated by Jesus Christ (p. 220).Present-day preterism, including the teaching of the Leonards, draws heavily from a book by the 19th century Congregational writer, James Stuart Russell. The book is The Parousia: a Critical Inquiry into the New Testament Doctrine of Our Lord's Second Coming. A new edition of this work, first published in 1878, was published in 1996 by Kingdom Publications in Bradford, PA. The references that follow use this recent edition.
According to Russell, the second coming of Christ that is foretold in I Thessalonians 4:13-17 and in II Thessalonians 1 and 2 happened in A.D. 70 in the destruction of Jerusalem (pp. 165-190). The resurrection of the dead promised in I Corinthians 15 happened in A.D. 70 in the destruction of Jerusalem (pp. 199ff.). The public, final judgment of Matthew 25:31-46 is not the future, "final judgment of the whole human race, but that of the guilty nation of Palestine whose day of doom was now near at hand" (p. 108). The renewal of creation described in Romans 8:19-22 is not a coming deliverance of the "irrational and inanimate creation," but the liberation of groaning, "suffering and down-trodden humanity" when "the whole visible fabric and frame of Judaism were swept away" in the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 (pp. 222-232).
The entire book of Revelation, with the embarrassing exception of the millennium of chapter 20, found its complete fulfillment in the destruction of Jerusalem (pp. 362ff.).
Russell's preterism is consistent. Every prophecy of Scripture about the coming of Christ and the end of the world was fulfilled in the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.
We are compelled to conclude that the Parousia, or second coming of Christ, with its connected and concomitant events, did take place, according to the Saviour's own prediction, at the period when Jerusalem was destroyed, and before the passing away of "that generation" (p. 549).
As this quotation indicates ("according to the Saviour's own prediction"; "passing away of 'that generation'"), Russell's interpretation of New Testament eschatology is squarely based on his explanation of Matthew 24 as referring exclusively to the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. Russell affirms that the language of Matthew 24 (and 25) "is not only appropriate as applied to the destruction of Jerusalem, but that this is its true and exclusive application" (p. 82).This is heresy.
It is gross denial of the second coming of Christ and, with it, the resurrection of the dead, the final judgment, and the renewal of the creation of the heaven and the earth.
No one can possibly fail to detect the false doctrine.
Preterism destroys the Christian hope: the soon-coming of Jesus Christ our Lord in the body to raise our bodies from the dead and to take us unto Himself in the perfected fellowship of the covenant. With the scoffers of II Peter 3:4, it asks, "Where is the promise of his coming?" With Hymenaeus and Philetus, it says that "the resurrection is past already" (II Tim. 2:18).
It is rejection of the Christian hope with a vengeance. Nothing of our hope is left.
Russell admits as much. Having annihilated the expectation of Christ's coming on the part of the church and the Christian, he imagines his readers asking, "Whither are we tending? What is to be the end and consummation of human history?" Indeed! What are our prospects? What were the prospects of the believers and their children after A.D. 70?
Russell's answer?
"Scripture prophecy guides us no further" (p. 549).
And, "Where nothing has been revealed it would be the height of presumption to prognosticate the future" (p. 550).God's Word leaves us completely in the dark as regards the future.
The church and the believer are hopeless. Since we are saved by hope, according to Romans 8:24, preterism strips us of salvation.
The Preterism of Christian Reconstruction
This grievous heresy, postmillennial Christian Reconstruction is promoting in Reformed and Presbyterian churches today, although it claims to avoid full-blown, consistent preterism. The close relationship between the fully developed, consistent preterism of James Stuart Russell and the Leonards on the one hand and the less fully developed, inconsistent preterism of Christian Reconstruction on the other hand is evident.
The new edition of Russell's The Parousia features glowing recommendations of the book by Gary DeMar and Kenneth L. Gentry, Jr. DeMar writes: "Russell's Parousia takes the Bible seriously when it tells us of the nearness of Christ's return . Reading Russell is a breath of fresh air in a room filled with smoke and mirror hermeneutics." Although not agreeing with all of Russell's conclusions, Gentry praises the book highly and confesses his own dependence on it:
I highly recommend this well-organized, carefully argued, and compellingly written defense of preterism to serious and mature students of the Bible. It is one of the most persuasive and challenging books I have read on the subject of eschatology and has had a great impact on my own thinking.DeMar and Gentry are mainstream champions of Christian Reconstruction.
Also, the Leonards, consistent preterists, appeal to Christian Reconstructionist David Chilton in support of their consignment of the whole of the book of Revelation to the past (The Promise, p. 156).
In addition, the reading of Russell's The Parousia brings to light the dependence of the Christian Reconstructionists on Russell for their interpretation of such passages as II Thessalonians 2 and the entire book of Revelation.
As for the protest by Christian Reconstruction that it wants to retain the hope of a future coming of Christ and a future resurrection of the dead on the basis of a few New Testament prophecies that still apply to the church today, that is, that it wants to hold an "inconsistent preterism," three things make this impossible.
First, Christian Reconstruction teaches that Matthew 24:1-35 applies exclusively to the destruction of Jerusalem, not at all to the coming of Christ in the future. Such is the basic importance of the prophecy of Matthew on the reckoning of everyone that if Jesus' eschatology has only the destruction of Jerusalem in view the same is true of all the eschatology of the New Testament. Matthew 24 is the issue. The interpretation of Matthew 24 is the difference between the hope of the Christian faith and the hopelessness of preterism. The four articles in which I examined, criticized, and refuted J. Marcellus Kik's preterist interpretation of Matthew 24 and then set forth the right explanation of the passage were the heart of the series of editorials, "A (Reformed) Defense of Amillennialism" (SB, April 1, April 15, May 1, and May 15, 1996).
Second, Christian Reconstruction insists on explaining the New Testament's teaching that the coming of Christ is "near" and "at hand" as meaning that Christ would come in the second coming within a few years, that is, in the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. If this is, in fact, what is meant by "near," "at hand," and "quickly," Christ came in A.D. 70, and everything connected with His coming, e.g., the resurrection, took place at that time in the past. Scripture's prophecy of the end has been fulfilled. It has been fulfilled completely. It has been fulfilled completely in the destruction of Jerusalem. There is no further revelation of any future coming.
Third, Christian Reconstruction is committed to a consistent preterism, despite its protestations to the contrary, inasmuch as the one, great good in the future that Christian Reconstruction has its heart set on, looks forward to, and hastens toward is the earthly kingdom of its dreams. The hope of Christian Reconstruction is not the second coming of Christ. To a future coming of Christ, Christian Reconstruction pays lip service. The hope of Christian Reconstruction is a carnal kingdom of earthly power, prosperity, and peace.
When the Leonards-consistent preterists-get around to telling us why they have shoved all of New Testament eschatology into the past, thus annihilating the expectation of Christ's coming, this is what they say:
(This) provides the incentive for the church militant, the followers of Jesus Christ engaging the distortions and inequities of a godless culture, and laying the foundation for the continual reconstruction of society according to the principles of God's covenant law. Christians have no biblical warrant for withdrawing from this struggle in the hope that Christ will appear, sooner or later, to execute the sanctions of the end. The last days have come and gone, leaving the church on earth where Christ intended it to be (The Promise, p. 208).Sound familiar?
The carnal kingdom of "Jewish dreams"!
Christian Reconstruction is committed, willy-nilly, to the full-blown, consistent preterism that strips the church and the Christian of all hope and all salvation.
The gospel of hope is Reformed, amillennial, biblical eschatology.
Jesus Christ is coming. He is on the way now. He will come in the future. He will come personally, bodily, and visibly. He comes quickly. His coming is near. We live daily in the expectation of Him. His coming is our hope.
Come, Lord Jesus!
Although this author is amillennial, he raises some interesting concerns about preterism and reconstruction.
So we already know he spiritualizes *everything*. Right? Why should his perspective be trusted?
Or is this a case of "any enemy of my enemy is my friend"?
Besides attempting to paint all postmillennialists as consistent, i.e. heretical "full" preterists who deny a literal, future Second Coming - despite all claims to the contrary - what other concerns does he raise?
Englesma, whom I normally have great respect for, muddles the water by falsely charging Reconstructionists with a belief that "Christ would come in the second coming within a few years, that is, in the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70", Englesma IMO is deliberately confusing his opponents' view of His "coming in the clouds" (the judgment of Israel) with His Second Coming, i.e. His literal return. No Reconstructionist work I have ever read has ever proposed that the two "comings" are the same event.
It is rejection of the Christian hope with a vengeance. Nothing of our hope is left.
As I said, it raises some excellent concerns.
Perhaps now we know where our friends gets it from. Reading people who paint with a broad brush when they write about other people.
As mentioned to TC on a different thread, when one is so focused on building the kingdom here on earth, it gets easier and easier to "spiritualize" the return of Christ, and especially since everything else has already been spiritualized.
I would say that post-millennialism is a great danger to post-mil Christians.
That aside, though, I can certainly see how preterism is a HERETICAL danger that will easily betray post-mil Christians.
Only if you are close-minded regarding the truth.
Bump for later
Title and article header, should be "its Reconstruction Ally."
(Sorry to pick, but it's a school day :-).
I don't see how my being alerted to concerns that I've been unaware of to this date is an indication of close-mindedness.
I'd think it would say the opposite.
And, not being an amillennialist, this was a difficult article for me to post. But the concerns about preterism destroying Christian hope are legitimate.
Do you know anyone on this board or in person who holds to this view?
Oh, don't get me wrong, there are a few. In fact, the Reconstructionist Chalcedon Report and orthodox preterist Ken Gentry have written volumes againt this form of preterism, which they call the Hymenaen heresy.
Engelsma knows this, which makes his tome far less important than it could be.
I noticed another mistake in the article itself, but I don't remember where.
Christian hope being destroyed was Engelsma's concern, and I agree. It is certainly a danger.
I picked up a couple of mistakes just on a quick reading, but the error in the title was the most obvious.
But you are tilting at windmills in this forum. There are no Hymenaen-style preterists around (that I'm aware of).
Are you getting it yet?
Let me know when it becomes a reality.
Sorry, but that IS the definition of preterism.
Others go out of their way to back away from it, because they realize how heretical it is.
Like being proud to call yourself a semi-pelagian, even though real pelagianism is so unworthy of the gospel of grace.
Better to warn about the heresy of preterism first.
So many are unfamiliar with it, and are seduced by virtue of their ignorance regarding the destination to which they are being led.
Have you ever heard of the term "guilt by association"? That was the author's tactic in this hit piece.
Well, then I don't know any preterists around here and I suspect neither do you.
But they DO use the label of PRETERIST with a modifier.
Besides that, partial PRETERISM is little improvement. As pointed out, preterism's addiction to spiritualizing things is both a danger and is itself destructive of Christian hope.
Using a debater's trick, MacArthur begins his analysis of nondispensational eschatology by assessing full-preterism. Full-preterists believe that all the New Testament prophetic passages were fulfilled in A.D. 70. Thus, there is no future bodily return of Christ. The resurrection is also given a non-traditional interpretation. Of course, I have no problem with someone debating the merits of full-preterism or partial preterism. R.C. Sproul engages in a debate with full preterism in his The Last Days According to Jesus, and Ken Gentry has written extensively on the subject. I've had numerous discussion with full-preterist writers and have voiced my dissatisfaction with a number of their interpretations. While MacArthur admits that partial preterism is not heresy, he goes on to write that "it is clear that the hermeneutical approach taken by [partial] preterists is what laid the foundation for the hyper-preterist error." The old slippery-slope argument.
Gary DeMar in Defending the Indefensible
Tut, tut, tut. And you a man of the cloth. You are beginning to act like a lawyer. Let's see now, from all the threads on eschatology and systems of theology.
All Dispensationalists are Dispensational.
All Pre Millennials are Pre Millennial.
All Pre tribs are Pre trib.
All Post Millennials are Post Millennial.
All Amillennials are Amillennial.
All Preterists are Preterist.
This is a typical ploy of deception -- create something new and label it with the name of your opponent.
Sort of like saying Arminius was a Calvinist.
Postmillenialism is simply a belief that the spread of the Gospel and the fulfillment of the Biblically-mandated Great Commission will enrich our society and profit all who hear it.
It sure can't hurt.
Christian Reconstructionism simply says the Great Commission is our responsibility to perform, by the grace of God.
And before the world become so skittish and politically-correct, most Christians actually believed in both presuppositions.
"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." -- Matthew 28:18020
"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." -- Isaiah 55:11
"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." -- Matthew 28:18020
Why do we really fight in Iraq, x? Yes, it's for U.S. defense and protection and stability.
But don't you also believe that the spread of Christianity to a Muslim nation will truly benefit that region?
Don't you also believe that all those Bibles being smuggled into China will truly benefit that continent and enrich the lives of all who hear the word of God?
If you are going to rely on faulty logic like Engelsma and MacArthur, and if you are not going to believe what people tell you to be true and take it on face value as honest, it only demonstrates that your approach to interpreting the Word of God may be suspect as well.
There is nothing faulty about pointing out what preterism is any more than there's something faulty about pointing out what pelagianism is.
And, then there's the argument of "poisoned fruit."
The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.
As the Professor pointed out in "A Defense to Reformed Amillinialism", Post-millinialism preaches a coming 'golden age' rather than warning saints of the anti-christ.
What is a pelagian?
What is a semi-pelagian?
Extremely good point. You are correct.
But don't label it as "partial preterism" because it isn't.
And contrary to what blue-duncan was trying to tell you, the difference between partial and full preterism is clear and simple, unlike the many, varied and confusing beliefs listed under the heading of dispensationalism.
Engelsma knows this, which makes his tome far less important than it could be.
Amen. If this is the best they can do to refute the truth, then the truth stands strong.
The entire book is free online at the above link.
See #32
Orthodox preterism did not "fall from the tree" of the Hymenaen heresy. You are engaging in faulty logic and debaters tricks. I suspect the reason why is that you have no arguments of your own, so, like Engelsma and MacArthur, you resort to clouding the issues by insisting black is white and up is down.
See #4
This is interesting.
Each of you give a list of those prophecies that are already fulfilled?
"Rather than"??!! Short reading list, I suspect.
The false dichotomy of pessimistic eschatologies like amillennialism and dispensationalism seem to want to see everything as "either/or" rather than "both/and".
Christ is reiging both in heaven and on earth by the power of the gospel over the nations.
"Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison." (Rev. 20:7)
The apostasy at the end happens after the "thousand years" is concluded. So it does not need to be "either/or" as the amils seem to suggest, or "rather than".
"Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour." (1 John 2:18)
Postmillennialists can read the Bible, you know.
I'd realy like an answer to my questions...
We fight in Iraq to maintain and preserve U.S. defense, protection and stability. Do you also believe that...
1) The spread of Christianity to a Muslim nation will truly benefit that region?
2) Bibles being smuggled into China will truly benefit that continent and enrich the lives of all who hear the word of God?
Christians need to be warned of Satan who takes on many guises. This is much simpler than a lot of people want to make it.
When this country was founded, Postmillennialism was the dominant belief. No coincidence it's taken a beating as the Gospel gets shouted down from within as well as without.
Are people really so deaf and blind that they can't see some temporal powers of this world want us all to believe ONLY in spiritual bad guys? Because what this ultimately does is frees the real, human bad guys on the planet to keep right on deceiving and manipulating the masses.
I would say you are wrong. An eagerness to proclaim that Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords is the heart of our evangel. The proclamation of a Jesus who confines His work to "the heart" lobotomized and emasculated evangelical Christianity over the course of the last century. If all I want is a "personal spiritual adviser," I can go visit Madam Rose the tea leaf reader. For a few extra dollars, she'll even throw in a few extra thrills.
Discovering that Jesus is Lord over the universe around me as well as the "universe" within me was truly liberating, transforming my walk with God, my family, my vocation, and my effectiveness as a Christian. You might say the proclamation the "Jesus is Lord" (not "will be any day now," but is) can restore the Christian man's mind, and balls. Let me cite G. K. Chesterton's rollicking rebuttal to the value of mere mysticism, from his book Orthodoxy:
Of all conceivable forms of enlightenment the worst is what these people call the Inner Light. Of all horrible religions the most horrible is the worship of the god within. Any one who knows any body knows how it would work; any one who knows any one from the Higher Thought Centre knows how it does work. That Jones shall worship the god within him turns out ultimately to mean that Jones shall worship Jones. Let Jones worship the sun or moon, anything rather than the Inner Light; let Jones worship cats or crocodiles, if he can find any in his street, but not the god within. Christianity came into the world firstly in order to assert with violence that a man had not only to look inwards, but to look outwards, to behold with astonishment and enthusiasm a divine company and a divine captain. The only fun of being a Christian was that a man was not left alone with the Inner Light, but definitely recognized an outer light, fair as the sun, clear as the moon, terrible as an army with banners.My soul is far safer in the keeping of my Lord, than it was when I sought a cosmic guru.
From a piece by Gary DeMar entitled, "The Devil's In the Details" —
"A few days after having sinus surgery, Amanda Bower of Time magazine called American Vision to set up an interview with me. She was working on a four-part article on the debut of Tim LaHaye's tenth volume in the Left Behind series, The Remnant: On the Brink of Armageddon. I spent about an hour on the phone giving her an alternative perspective. The interview went very well.
When I first picked up a copy of the July 1 issue of Time, I expected to find at least some mention of the interview. Nothing. Instead, there were more than ten pages of what looked like advertising copy for the series. Since when is Time magazine not being critical of a Christian movement that is generating a billion dollars in sales?
Just this year, LaHaye signed a $45 million, four-book deal with Bantam-Dell, whose address, ironically, is 666 5th Avenue, New York, NY. Secular publishers are bottom-line oriented. Bantam wants a piece of the $1.77 billion book publishing industry, even if its from Christians. They'll hold their nose as they make their bank deposits. Why make Christians angry since they'll be the ones who will help Bantam make back that $45 million. To further insure that the investment pays the necessary dividends, LaHaye had to be introduced to the secular market as a likable guy even though he believes in a Christian America and opposes abortion and homosexuality. One article even showed Tim and Beverly hugging. The feminist and homosexual writers and editors at Time must have puked as they put the make-nice story together.
My negative interview would have kicked sand in their face. Publishing deals had been made. LaHaye had to look good no matter what else he might believe. AOL Time Warner, owner of Time magazine, has a strategic alliance with Barnes & Noble. B&N operates more than 1000 super stores and mall-based stores, and operates barnesandnoble.com. Go into any B&N and you will find stacks of Left Behind books. B&N has made a fortune with Left Behind. AOL Time Warner has set up a Christian book division in Nashville, Tennessee, home of Christian publishing powerhouses Thomas Nelson and Broadman & Holman. As one publishing insider writes, "Ruffling feathers at AOL, B&N, Amazon.com, or Time Warner just doesn't have any appeal."
One last connection. Bantam is the U.S. subsidiary of Bertelsmann, the third largest media company in the world, with majority ownership of barnesandnoble.com, AOL online services in Europe, France, and German. What's good for Tim LaHaye is good for AOL, which is good for AOL TimeWarner, which is good for Time magazine and vice versa
For years I wondered why the liberal Oxford University Press published the Scofield Reference Bible. I have come to believe that the best way to get Christians out of politics is to neutralize them. Dispensationalism is the best neutralizer going. Millions of Christians, most of whom are politically conservative, will see no reason to get involved politically because the rapture is just around the corner. Oxford knew this at the turn of the twentieth century, and AOL Time Warner knows it today."
"It would be easy to show that at our present rate of progress the kingdoms of this world never could become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ. Indeed, many in the Church are giving up the idea of it except on the occasion of the advent of Christ, which, as it chimes in with our own idleness, is likely to be a popular doctrine. I myself believe that King Jesus will reign, and the idols be utterly abolished; but I expect the same power which turned the world upside down once will still continue to do it. The Holy Ghost would never suffer the imputation to rest upon His holy name that He was not able to convert the world."
"...I have come to believe that the best way to get Christians out of politics is to neutralize them. Dispensationalism is the best neutralizer going..."
It's no coincidence Ronald Reagan was largely funded, philosophically supported and theologically nourished by the same Christian Reconstructionists who are now marginalized by the American press.
It is also no coincidence America flourished in the 1980's, the Berlin Wall came down and the 70-year-old Soviet Union was dismantled.
A friend sent me a copy of your February 15, 1999, issue of the Standard Bearer on the subject of preterism.
To raise a standard one must have a standard. It's one thing to disagree with a position and those who hold it, it's another thing to lie about what people actually believe. The ninth commandment is still in force. Your editorial is an example of very poor scholarship. It's embarrassing to think that it was written by a seminary professor who is supposed to be preparing students for ministry and truth telling. I will be using it as an example for my students how not to argue. You do your cause no favor by printing such half truths.
Let's have a debate at your seminary. Have your students decide who's telling the truth. Assign them Last Days Madness.Let's see if they come to your conclusions. They should also read Ken Gentry's Before Jerusalem Fell.
I did not use Russell for my research. I was most influenced by the Hebraist scholar John Lightfoot, one of the participants at the Westminster Assembly. He, along with many other commentators, showed that Matthew 24 and II Thessalonians 2, to name just two passages, have a preterist fulfillment. If you read my Last Days Madness and follow its arguments, you might not be so quick to misrepresent a brother in Christ. Will you also attack C.H. Spurgeon for his endorsement of Russell? (See the first reprint edition by Baker.) What about Baker Book House for twice reprinting it? And then there's R.C. Sproul and his endorsement. In fact, he wrote the foreword to Baker's latest reprint edition. Why didn't you mention Sproul and his preterist conference with nearly 4,000 in attendance? Are you afraid that your entire case would be considered suspect if people learned that Sproul holds a similar position and stood with a number of reconstructionists on this issue?
Why don't you do substantive exegesis instead of name-calling.
You state that Jesus' coming is "near." What do you mean by "near"? You never tell your readers.
Hope to read better arguments in the future.

A member of our editorial committee alerted me to your February 15 editorial, "A Timely Question About 'Preterism.'" It was so twisted in its depiction of the Christian Reconstructionist position that I prefer to assume you are simply misinformed for, certainly, one would otherwise be guilty of slander to so egregiously misrepresent the documentable view of Christian Reconstruction. For example, David Engelsma sweepingly declares: "Christian Reconstruction is committed, willy-nilly, to the full-blown, consistent preterism that strips the church and the Christian of all hope and all salvation."
This is flatly wrong. Christian Reconstruction and "consistent preterism" are antithetical positions, and we made this point categorically in the July, 1997 issue of the Chalcedon Report. Christian Reconstruction embraces the orthodox Christian Faith, crucial aspects of which the "consistent preterists" deny. Some Christian Reconstructionists hold that certain parts of Matthew 24 and the Apocalypse were fulfilled in AD 70, but all of them affirm the future physical Second Advent of Christ, resurrection of the just and unjust, and final judgment. That is, all are orthodox eschatologists. If they were to adopt "consistent preterism," they would thereby abandon Christian Reconstruction - and, for that matter, orthodox Christianity.
Nobody at Chalcedon is a preterist - certainly not as this is today defined. Rushdoony and I hold that most of Matthew 24 and the Apocalypse describe events of much of the interadvental era, including, to be sure, the destruction of Jerusalem. (I myself think Matthew Henry's view is quite on target.) You assert that Russell's view in locating the Second Advent at AD 70 is heretical. We agree, and do not in any way endorse his pernicious work, The Parousia. While some Christian Reconstructionists have more recently accepted a mild, orthodox form of preterism, this interpretation is in no way endemic to our position.
Perhaps to you the Hymenaen heresy ("consistent preterism") offers a convenient issue by which to dismiss our consistently Reformed approach to the Faith, and to advertise your own highly defeatist and implicitly Manichean amillennialism. In any case, if you are committed to attacking our position, please have the courtesy to attack our distinctives: orthodox, catholic, Reformed Christianity; VanTilian presuppositionalism; biblionomy; postmillennialism; and dominionism.
Preterism has never been a distinctive of Christian Reconstruction.
Your readers deserve to hear the facts of this letter.

Amen. This has been our experience, too.
When a person realizes that the Holy Spirit is truly guiding his walk, he is strengthened by that knowledge and walks a little straighter, tackles problems more assuredly, and sleeps better knowing God is in control, always confident that "he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ."
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours." -- John 4:34-38
"Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours." -- John 4:34-38

Mothers who plan to be away from their babies for some feedings, or whose babies aren't able to vigorously feed at the breast yet, will need to rent or purchase an appropriate pump. While it is possible to hand-express milk, a pump can be useful to help empty the breasts and maintain adequate milk production.
Many types of pumps are available and your choice will depend on your needs. Some are simple handheld pumps that are useful for very infrequent pumping. These are operated manually. Several good mini-electric or battery-operated pumps also can be purchased; these are especially useful for full-time working moms .
If you need to express your milk very frequently, especially if you are separated from your infant for a prolonged period of time, you may need to rent a hospital-grade electric pump to maintain full milk production. These pumps automatically cycle suction with release of suction--similar to a baby's sucking action. Hospital-grade pumps express milk most efficiently and don't burn out from frequent use. Because they are much more expensive, these pumps are usually rented, not purchased.
If you have a double electric pump, you can pump both sides at the same time. Double pumping is often recommended because it cuts pumping time in half. Usually the total pumping time for each session is only 10 to 15 minutes. This may make it easier to schedule breaks at work.
Your health insurance will often cover the purchase or rental of a pump, so be sure to ask.
Milk collection kits include:
The flange (also called breast shield)
A funnel that's placed on your breast valves
Bottles to collect your milk
Tubing that connects the kit to your pump
You can use your own collection kit with another pump (e.g. in the workplace or NICU) if they are made by the same company.
Flanges come in different sizes. If they are too large or too small, there is a risk of injury as well as low milk supply. Your nipple should move freely within the flange opening without rubbing on its sides. Check with a lactation consultant if you have concerns about the proper fit.

My 3rd LO is 7 months old. He has decided that he wants to be up for the day between 6-6:30am. He usually has a poopy diaper so I go in and check him and change him. With my older two, I could feed them a bottle and they'd go back to sleep. He will not. He won't even take a bottle at that hour unless it's been 4+ hours since his last bottle (and he usually wakes around 3am) so feeding him back to sleep doesn't work. I've tried changing him and putting him back in his crib but he's so loud- just talking and making noises/sometimes crying.
I've got two older kids and I like them to sleep as long as they can- definitely till after 7am but preferably till at least 7:30.
I have no idea what to do with my 7 month old to keep him from waking them up!!! Any ideas?!?!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL
I need to implement a WYSIWYG solution for content to be taken from an HTML form and written to a file or to a database. I can write to the file or the database easily. That's not the problem.
Most of (99%) the content's producers work in word primarily. They do not have time to learn HTML I do not have time to 'clean up' their documents using Dreamweaver-like utilities - unless there is one that can be installed with Apache/PHP setup?
I'm quite aware of the horrid HTML word produces, but it is not in my hands to have the content producers to move away from Word.
Will Contribute gracefully handle copy/pastes from Word? Will Kompozer?
Also, in my case, a site's template will be produced (by me) - I just need the content to be maintained by others.
...TinyMCE can be configurated to function with Word content in the best possible way. TinyMCE is configured to auto convert/cleanup pasted Word content in this example. It's has also a custom CSS that makes paragraphs marginless as in Word.
You could encourage them to compose short pieces inside the browser (using the TinyMCE editor) or to paste in plaintext and then apply the formatting within TinyMCE. That way, they can compose the meat of it (the text) offline using their editor of choice and then use the editor to add any bolds, italics, etc.
BTW - At no point did I suggest they use HTML directly. End-users can't be expected to do that.

This attractive exposed pipe shower features a watering can style showerhead and wall-mount hand shower. Solid brass construction and traditional design make this a truly luxurious shower.
Ships in 1 - 2 Business Days
looks goodgood quality
makes me happyLike all previous reviewers I am very happy with this system . Love the traditional look. At first I was concerned about the operation of the diverter valve as it did not have a hard 180 degree stop to it. I inquired by phone and was told this was normal, and it seems to work just fine.
Exposed pipe showerI obsessed about this shower before finally ordering it. So glad I went with this one. Was looking at the thermostatic but glad I went with this. Love the handles. Been using it for 6 months now. Use the spear and shower at the same time for double spray. May replace the head with a rain shower head in the future but for now it's great.
Exposed pipe shower w/ hand-held showerExactly as advertised. Great looking piece that was easy to install and operates as desired.
Exposed pipe shower with hand showerOmg!! This is so beautiful, my new remodeled bathroom looks like it came out of the magazine you won't be disappointed the quality is superb.five plus stars
Shower.Purchased this shower system on line. They were very helpful on the whole process. Arrived as stated, on time and packaged very well. Very easy to install, built well, and no surprises. Solid brass and good quality. Very pleased . Thanks James
Exposed Pipe shower - ORBThis shower system works very well. The main head outputs a gentle but adequate rain shower while the hand held really puts out a strong spray. You can use both together or individually. But you cannot adjust the spray on this system. If that is important to you, you won't like this system. I find it perfect for my likes. My contractor said the product was easy to install and very user friendly. I highly recommend this product and Signature hardware. I also bought a kitchen faucet and copper farmhouse sink from SH. I couldn't be happier with these purchases.
Shower systemProduct is as described with every piece being solid and well made. We required a different sized pipe which was promptly supplied by Signature. Excellent customer service.
Exposed Pipe Shower HL-39-ORBVery well made product. Only problem was the set screw to the offset pipe brace was missing

Mingle with do-gooding guzzlers at this month's Happy Hour for Hope on Wednesday August 11 at Agua Verde (1303 NE Boat Street). The fundraiser begins at 5 p.m. and will benefit Children's Home Society of Washington (CHSW), which offers education programming, counseling and adoption services for troubled children.
Don Julio will be sponsoring the event, and all proceeds from shots and Baja'ritas--a drink made with limes, tequila and orange liqueur--will go toward the non-profit. Agua Verde is perhaps best known for its spectacular view of Lake Washington and conveniently placed kayak rentals, just below the restaurant. Bright umbrellas flank the deck at the waterfront cafe, and the colorful interior mirrors the menu. If drinking for a cause isn't incentive enough, maybe blue skies are--the sun is expected to at least make an appearance Wednesday.Happy Hour for Hope takes place on the second Wednesday of every month and is sponsored in part by Seattle Weekly. Next month's event, to be held on September 8 at Bad Monkey Bistro in South Lake Union, will benefit Seattle AIDS Walk, the annual Lifelong AIDS Alliance fundraiser which takes place on September 25 at Volunteer Park.

The Candid Camera of the Edwardian Tabloids
Hiley, Nicholas, History Today
In the current debate on press photography and the right of privacy one mistake has been made time and again. Because the debate revolves around recent examples of press intrusion into the lives of politicians and members of the Royal Family, it is assumed that the problem itself must also be new. Yet almost all of the present argument on the rights of public figures to control their public image, and to protect their private lives, can in fact be traced to the 1890s and 1900s, when photographs first began to appear in newspapers and magazines.
Most portrait photography before the 1880s took place in the studio, where the professional photographer used the traditions of portrait painting to record not only the outward appearance of his sitters, but also their wealth and social status. Sumptuous studios, static cameras, and long exposures ensured that the process involved lengthy negotiation between the photographer and his subject, and if a portrait was afterwards reproduced without the sitter's permission the photographer could find himself in court.
Yet the development of faster photographic emulsions soon led to the production of practical hand cameras, by which a picture could be taken without its subject even knowing that a camera was present. The market was flooded with |detective cameras' that were guaranteed to take candid portraits. The first |detective camera' reached the British market in 1881, and by 1889 the American Camera Company |Demon Detective' plate camera was being openly advertised as equally effective |on the promenade, in Law Courts, churches, and railway carriages; also in Breach-of-Promise and Divorce cases; in fact, at all awkward moments, when least expected'.
By 1895 photographs were spreading rapidly through the illustrated magazines, and the new |snapshot' photographers dedicated themselves |to snap that which seems unsnappable. and which public exigencies often demand should not be snapped'. Freelance cameramen knew that candid images would always find a buyer, and during the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of 1897 one photographer was said to have been promised |an extravagant price' for a candid picture of Queen Victoria passing through London. As her carriage passed he thus let out a scream so piercing that, |turning aside her parasol. she peered for a moment in the direction of the balcony from which the shriek came', and he quickly took his picture.
By 1899 the public demand for candid pictures had grown so great that the Penny Pictorial Magazine began a regular page of photographs headed |Taken Unawares: Snap shots of celebrated people.' This feature was later given the more accurate sub-title |Surreptitious snapshots of celebrities', and in 1902 the problems which these stolen images brought to public life were amply demonstrated when illness forced Edward VII to postpone his coronation. The king decided to leave London for Portsmouth to convalesce, and gave minute instructions as to how his passage to the royal train should be screened from public view, but it was nevertheless reported that as he prepared to leave the station, |a man pushed forward to the closed carriage and attempted to take a snap-shot through the window'.
It was now impossible to escape the attentions of these cameramen, for it was claimed that |if it is known that some person whose name or personality is familiar to the public dislikes posing for the benefit of the photographer ... the snapshotters set themselves with special resolve to obtain what they term a negative'. By 1906 Edward VII was indeed such a focus of attention that it was said he could 'scarcely venture out of doors without being confronted with a battery of cameras ready to photograph him'. Yet he was no more secure at home, for one determined cameraman, sent to get candid snapshots of the king and his family at Sandringham, made a deal with the local baker's delivery man, |succeeded in concealing himself among the loaves, and from the baker's cart he got an excellent picture of the Royal children'. …

|Jackson-Vanik Amendment (1974). An amendment sponsored by Senator Henry ("Scoop") Jackson (D-Washington) and Representative Charles Vanik (R-Ohio), attached to Richard Nixon's omnibus 1974 trade bill. It tied Soviet compliance on free emigration for Russia's Jews to access to U.S. trade, technology, and credits. The bill was intended as the carrot in Nixon's strategy of linkage of trade with Soviet foreign policy restraint, but Congress linked trade instead to internal policies. The Soviets rejected the bill and stopped Jewish emigration entirely for several years. It thus marked a turning from détente, as well as new salience for conflict over human rights in American-Soviet relations. Because it linked human rights to trade with all Communist countries, in the 1990s it raised an annual problem regarding most-favored-nation (MFN) status for China and Vietnam. See also normal trade relations (NTR).
|Jacobins.Republican political clubs that ultimately grew into the most radical faction in the French Revolution. Dominated by Danton and Robespierre, from 1792 the Jacobins gained increasing control over the course of the Revolution. Through the Committee on Public Safety they conducted "The Terror,"
called for the levée en masse, took credit for throwing back invading monarchist armies, and proclaimed revolutionary war against the established governments and governing principles of Europe. The Terror was so indiscriminate (even Danton felt the blade on his neck) that, once the foreign threat receded, the Jacobins were overthrown in the Thermidorian reaction in 1794. About 150 Jacobin leaders were sent to the guillotine with Robespierre. Their influence lingered as a dire warning to conservatives and as a promise and example to radical reformers. "Jacobin Clubs" sprang up in many European countries but were especially active in northern Italy.

Food And Chemical Toxicology Editor-in-Chief, A. Wallace Hayes, Publishes Response To Letters To The Editors
CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, December 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The following statement will be published in the journal, Food and Chemical Toxicology, alongside a selection of letters to the editors regarding the decision to retract the paper by Séralini et al.(Séralini et al., 2012).In November 2012, this journal published an article titled "Long term toxicity of a Roundup herbicide and a Roundup-tolerant genetically modified maize," by Séralini et al.(Séralini et al., 2012). The publication of this article caused quite a stir in the media, as well as in the scientific community. The journal received many letters expressing concerns about the validity of the findings. A careful and time-consuming analysis found that the data were inconclusive, and therefore the conclusions described in the article were unreliable. Accordingly, the article was retracted. Since the public announcement of the retraction, the journal has received many letters to the editor; a selection of these letters will be published, along with this response to those letters. Many of these letters expressed concerns about the decision making process behind this action, particularly what role (if any) current or former Monsanto employees played, whether or not COPE guidelines were followed, and if the journal was also considering retraction of a similar paper by Hammond et al .(Hammond et al., 2004). The answers to these questions are below. The membership of the editorial board is composed of academic, government, and industrial scientists. Contrary to what has been suggested by some, the appointment of Professor Richard Goodman, University of Nebraska, as an Associate Editor was not influenced by Monsanto or any other party. Members of the editorial board are chosen based on their expertise as scientists. It is the goal of this journal to have a variety of different viewpoints. In this case, as in other cases, I as Editor-in-Chief listened to as wide and diverse a set of expertise as possible. To wit, Professor Goodman, along with all other members of the editorial board was involved in initial discussions of the Séralini paper and the request to view raw data. When the request was made to Dr. Séralini to review the raw data, the journal suggested to Dr. Séralini that all parties involved sign a confidentiality agreement. This confidentiality agreement was designed to protect Dr. Séralini and his data so that it was (A) not viewed by anyone he did not want to view his data and (B) that it would not go beyond the people he agreed would review the raw data. Not initially, but during the process, Dr. Séralini made a direct request that Professor Goodman be excluded, and we at FCT readily and quickly agreed. It is understandable that Dr. Goodman's involvement, however small, might be cause for concern for some. However, the decision to retract the paper was mine alone, made by me exclusively and not by a vote of the editorial board. Further, when Dr. Séralini asked for Dr. Goodman's involvement to stop, I agreed, fully and promptly. The Monsanto Company did write a letter to the editor regarding this article, and it was published along with a number of other letters to the editor (Hammond et al., 2013); neither the company nor any of their scientists put any pressure on the Editor in Chief regarding this matter.

Posted by 5585881017426759036 on Oct 29, 2015
It's not easy to find good quality manuka honey around. This one is by far one of the best I've taken. I take one teaspoon a night for health reasons. I have also discovered that this works wonderfully well on cuts. My dog (yes, dog) recently underwent an operation and the wound was not healing as well. After 1 month it was still raised and a bit red/discoloured. I applied a bit of the honey onto the wound and overnight, the redness went down. It's really quite amazing.

The Knife, dressed as Bubonic plague doctors.
I share Sasha Frere-Jones' fear of Sweden's The Knife, yet I remain as excited about the upcoming album from its lead singer's solo effort, Fever Ray, as a marauding Viking horde is of invading a peaceable neighbor. As The Knife, Karin Dreijer Andersson and her brother Olof Dreijer shot listeners down a pulsating shaft of Goth-tinged, bass-heavy ambience with '06's Silent Shout, and if this track from Andresson's latest foray into aural existentialism is any indication, Fever Ray's disc will be even more harrowing. There's really no other word for it.
One wonders the extent to which Sweden's weather has played a role in the formation of both The Knife and Fever Ray's sound. A forbidding abyss during winter and a solar explosion during summer, Sweden offers the kind of external extremes that can lead to dark rumblings in the soul. This explains a little about Andersson's miasmatic--and often manipulated--voice, as well as The Knife and Fever Ray's 21st-century-meets-medieval production, I think. Any Swedes out there who can, er, shed some light on the subject?

basement remodelcomments (0) November 14th, 2011 in Project Gallery
This basement remodel started because we decided to add a heatpump and the ceiling was torn out of the dated basement rec room which is shown in the first 2 photos. This room was originally built in 1980. I designed the layout, and we chose to install cabinets on all three sides of the room, with new windows to the lake view. In addition to the TV/media center, we installed cabinets on the far wall for games, etc. with a small fridge and microwave. We installed a display cabinet over the sofa. Over the far cabinets are skylight windows which are original to the house. Flooring is cork, cabinets are CVG fir with cambium trim, ceiling is pine which was whitewashed. The walls were skim coated, and trim was added. There is a surround system and built in vacuum througout the basement area.
This was definitely a labor of love, as I designed the original house in 1980 for my parents retirement. Thirty years later, my wife and I are remodeling the home for our retirement.

Almost as soon as Congressman Robert Hurt announced that he would not seek a fourth term, Jim McKelvey announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for that seat. McKelvey sought the GOP nomination back in 2010, but Hurt beat him in a multi-candidate primary and then went on to win the election.
As of this writing, I have not heard of anybody else announcing his candidacy for the Republican nomination.
McKelvey has some good ideas.
A simple reading of this column over the years might spark someone to conclude, generally, that, well "he just hates the Republican Party, doesn't he?"
"Simple" is the key word there, and the conclusion would be wrong. As an admirer of America's two-party system, I've always had respect for the role Republicans play, while passionately believing that Democrats work for what's best for people, especially the poor and working class.

Senate District 23
On the coldest day in Richmond of the new year, the General Assembly began its 2016 session. This year's 60-day session is the first of the four-year Senate term. That means the first day of session begins with all 40 senators elected last November taking their oath of office.
A free pass at Disney World is one thing, but a free pass for nations wishing to destroy our way of life has no place in America's foreign policy. In President Obama's final State of the Union address, he spoke at length about looking toward the future. There is nothing more important to the future than protecting the United States from the threats of hostile nations like North Korea and Iran. However, the Obama Administration's foreign policy is giving them a free pass.
By Congressman Robert Hurt
Last week I mentioned that there seems to be a double standard when it comes to religion in the public school classroom. I noted the same left-wingers who defended a teacher who had students copy the Muslim statement of faith as part of a geography assignment, would have been after that teacher's head if she had had her students copy a Christian text, such as the Lord's Prayer.
This week marks the opening of that annual frustrating and often mind-boggling political exercise known as the Virginia General Assembly.
Yes, as you read this, Richmond is filled with Republicans, most of them doctrinaire conservatives (and many more extreme than that) set to pass – Lord help us! - new laws for our beloved home, the Commonwealth of Virginia.

I am Active Duty Military stationed in Minot, ND. I own a home and property in Bedford,VA and will return there after I retire from the military.
Should patients or big government mandates come first? That's the question Congress recently asked President Obama by sending a repeal of his signature health care law to his desk.
It was interesting to see Rick Howell close out the year with a defense of a world geography lesson that included students copying the Muslim statement of faith. This happened last month in River Heads High School in Augusta County. It's interesting because, if a public school teacher were to have her students copy a passage from the Bible, such as the Lord's Prayer, Mr. Howell would howl about separation of church and state. The ACLU would have a fit, threaten a lawsuit and probably demand the teacher's head on a platter.
