Complementarianism - What do you think?

I guess I'm having a crisis of faith here and I'm reaching out for some help.
My church teaches complementarianism - in which women must submit to their husbands and husbands must love their wives etc.
I am a feminist and though I have been a Christian my entire life, I really struggle with this principle.
I find myself angry at God. I don't see why I should have to submit to a man. Especially when we're all supposed to be spiritual beings Why can't we be equals? Will it be like this in heaven too? Treated as second class citizens? Why is our gender important when even marriages will not last into eternity? Especially when God refers to our life here on Earth as being like a vapor.
Nothing rocks my faith that God exists but I struggle with organized religion - especially when it comes to women's rights. My crisis is that I don't want to go to church anymore where my friends all tell me that it's my job to submit to my husband and pat each other on the back for not making their own decisions. My husband doesn't want me to submit to him so why does God?
I find myself angry at God for passages in the Bible that seem to tell me to give up and give in based on the sole virtue of having a uterus. Especially when there are so many conflicting passages. I've read the Bible through in its entirety twice and I'm not any closer to getting it. When I ask my Pastor about it I don't get a satisfactory answer because he's extremely condescending.
I don't want to fall into prideful territory in which I think I must always be on top or right. What I want is freedom and the knowledge that God blesses me to grow and learn without confining that to home duties and Bible study. Something my church tells me is not Biblical. That I can stretch my wings and soar... but only at home with the children or in women's ministry or as long as my husband isn't inconvenienced. Christian website after Christian website seems to hate feminism.
I guess I'm just looking for... I don't know. Something. Some kind of guidance, some lightning bolt. Some wisdom. He's not really talking to me right now and I'm feeling the burn of it. When I was younger, I thought I knew it all - when I believed everything these people told me. Now I feel like I know nothing - except that I don't want to go back into that cage.

I was raised in a very Christian family and this principle is one that I always fought over with many a discussion in my family turning into an argument.
I do not believe that this was ever God's intention. Rather, as our world is patriarchial (and was more so in biblical times), men have altered and manipulated the meaning of certain parts of the bible to subjugate women. This has enabled men to "justify" their perceived role.
It really, really upsets me.

I am not even sure if I have faith, but I know one thing - God, if s/he exists, did not write the bible. Man did. Sure - it is full of some good stuff, and a lot of the ethical rules it lays down are good ones to live by - but it was written by man.
Man is fallible. Man can be wrong. I forget the author of the passage you refer to, but always remember it was written by a human. A human who may have applied his own interpretation or prejudice to the message. Or a human who was using a language that we no longer effectively translate.
I think you should pray on it. Make your own decisions about right and wrong based on your own study and your own understanding of what the message is. I recall a passage about teaching a man to fish - understanding your faith is the same. Don't just accept the fish they give you; fish out understanding and truth for yourself.
Personally, I would apply it to the modern day as a message to respect your husband; to have faith in him and to trust him. Just as in "loving" you, he should trust in you, and respect you and your free will capacity to exercise judgment. Perhaps in "submitting" and "loving", we are instead acknowledging a willingness to compromise for the good of the partnership, rather than ourselves as individuals. But then as I said, I am not sure what beliefs I hold, so you may wish to take theological advice from someone who is a better christian than I.
Above all, don't let a man from 2000 years ago's take on domestic hierarchy affect your relationship with God. Faith and trust in a higher power is a valuable thing indeed, and once lost you feel its absence. Good luck in figuring it out.

It's also good to remember that there are lots of different ways these things are understood and lived out by Christians. I am a committed Christian but these days probably wouldn't describe myself as complementarianst but egalitarian. My husband and I are equal and who leads at home church and elsewhere shouldn't depend on gender!! "There is no longer male or female Jew or Greek we are all one in Christ Jesus"
I do believe that much of the new testament was quite revolutionary for its time ( what - I should love and respect my wife not treat her as my possession?!) but our understanding also needs to be read in the context of culture then and now.
I suppose I just want to say don't give up, keep looking to god and gods character not just the church which is often flawed. Www.cbeInternational.org has some good articles on this (Christians for biblical equality)

Oh boy. I've been through a similar struggle!
For the record, I'm a woman who's accepted the call to leadership and ministry within the church, so that's where I stand on this stuff.
For what it's worth, I found it quite liberating to study the new testament for myself, especially in the Greek. Time and time again I've been astonished at how much our standard translations seem to take the most conservative, the most difficult, or the most oppressive option in dealing with ambiguous phrases. There is, for example, a world of difference between saying that women can't have authority, and saying that we shouldn't be domineering. I should hope that no Christian leader, male or female, would be domineering! Although I don't have time this morning, I'd be more than happy to go through those passages in detail and look at where I think some translations serve to hurt more than free women, where the gospel can be distorted, and how we might understand these things better.
As for your church - I'm tempted just to say leave, there are better communities out there. But I know it isn't that simple. I do wonder, though, whether it is wise (or even Godly) to stay in a place which is obviously crippling you. Even if I agreed with their teachings, I could never endorse their pastoral methods if they are making their members miserable and limiting them. That, to me, seems to be quenching the work of the Spirit in their midst rather than being obedient to Him. For, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour."
I think your post answers for itself the question of what the freedom and favour of the Spirit would be like for you.
I hope that helps. I know that what I've written will be contentious for some. I know that some women manage to find freedom and joy in a complementarian situation. But I believe that for those of us who find the opposite, we shouldn't be forced into feeling the way you do; I don't see anything of God in that!

For many years (for over a century I reckon) there have been many Christians who do not embrace your particular church's views. Christianity and feminism do not have to be opposite ends of a spectrum.

OP, I don't believe that God has called you to soar only in home duties, children and women's ministry.
ETA - just thought I would follow Ange's example and say my background for context. Pentecostal all my life, married a pastor, involved in church leadership myself, had a great marriage until my husband was hurt by the church, decided he wasn't a Christian anymore and walked out on me. I am now divorced, although do believe whole-heartedly in Christian marriage.
Over my early years as an adult, I struggled with this, as my mum talks this talk, but as I have realised, she doesn't practically live it anyway - lol! In fact, I think my parents have reached a wonderful balance. But the more I have studied women in the Bible, and God's attitude towards them, the more I realised that we have taken verses out of context and twisted them to suit our society's current Patriarchal focus; society is starting to move away from this, thankfully, but the church is a bit left behind.
I would encourage you to study Proverbs 31. This "woman" looked after her family, worked, ran the business, etc. She soared in various aspects of life
I am sure if you post verses that concern you, Ange will be able to help you understand them in context. I will chuck in my 2 cents worth.
The Bible talks about mutual love and submission in a marriage. It then follows up with wives submit, husband love. Does this mean that wives don't have to love? No. So why do we assume it means men don't have to submit?
There are many, many Christian churches who don't subscribe to this teaching, even reasonably fundamentalist churches.
Looking at it lightheartedly, if your husband doesn't want you to submit to him, then you had better do your "good wifely duties" to him and submit by not submitting

It sounds like you need a new church!
I dont know what religion you are but im catholic and I go a catholic church and there is none of that.
Men and women are equals in my church and are shown the same amount of respect.
I believe in treating others how you wish to be treated.

Thank you, everyone, for your replies.
It has been very helpful and they have given me a lot to think about.
Sometimes I wish I didn't feel quite so much like the weird Christian, but I can't help feeling this way and I'm glad to know I'm not alone.
Ange - I've messaged you. Thank you for your offer.
Posted 01 January 2012 - 05:34 PM
I have not heard of the teaching before, but how does submission to the husband translate into home duties and Bible study? I would have thought submission to the husband is about the husband's role as patriarch and not anything about being a housewife. Can someone explain to me how that link is made in the teachings?
FWIW OP, I believe marriages can go into the eternities and thus have an element of submitting in my marriage, however it has nothing to do with housewifery. It's a spiritual submission where if my husband is a worthy man, he will listen to God and direct the family on behalf of God. As his wife and helpmeet it's my role to support him in that and to help him meet those obligations. It actually has very little submission involved, it's almost another meaning entirely in my understandings.

I believe in complementarianism but not in the prescribed fashion that it sounds you are being taught and not in juxtaposition to egalitarianism. This is one area where I believe theologians are misinterpreting the complementary roles of participants in relationships and assigning responsibility to gender, rather than strengths in personality. Gender has no bearing on personality and no influence on capacity. People are dynamic and everchanging. To confine individuals as being at all times capable of everything, even though we generally are, is sometimes overlooking that we are also frail and suffer from vulnerability. So I think the two ideas can work alongside one another, rather than in competition.
To me a relationship is dynamic and both participants must be aware of the changing needs of the other to make things work. I think this fits with feminism so struggle to see how religious teachers can think that defining anyone's role is a good thing. Life doesn't always fit neatly into philosophy OP, philosophy simply gives structure to ideas and thinking, but we're free to pick and choose which ideas suit us best. This is where I think many christians are vulnerable in that the teachings are often regarded as being infallible but as PPs have mentioned, teachings are only there for guidance. What is important is to follow your inner guidance and listen to your higher truth rather than simply what resonates as truth for somebody else. Prayer and reflection are SO important to tap into this.
As Ange Vert suggested, but perhaps more subtle: look to others within your wider community for guidance rather than limiting yourself to someone who appears to be quite inflexible in his own ideas about this area of faith.

I think this is actually really wise. A healthy relationship is always communicating needs and wants whilst listening for the same.

A number of things, but primarily the requirement that a woman be silent and learn at home (a la 1 Corinthians 14). Must dash now - hungry baby! - but I may come back and expand more if I have time.

I guess my question is this - why is it the man's job to get the direction of the family from God and the woman's job to support that?
I thought, and I'll have to check the scriptures on this, that marriages were NOT for eternity and thus comes the "Until death do us part" bit in the vows.
Sorry to be crude but is the man placed in this role because SOME part of his anatomy works as a better antennae for receiving Godly wisdom?
Ah, I guess that's my frustration and bitterness coming through at the moment. You'll have to forgive me. I've been a Christian my entire life and I feel like it's all crashing around me. Of all the multiple, thousands of personalities and life experiences and abilities etc, I just can't fathom that there is only one way a family should Biblically work. And that that way is that the man is the patriarch who receives God's vision and direction - and that the woman is the helpmeet who makes it all happen.
I'm really glad that you guys operate so well this way. It's fantastic that you have a situation that works for you. I'm just want to know why.

I have a long marriage and my husband and I complement each other in that separately neither of us is completely whole. Together we are more than the sum of our parts. The union is fluid - sometimes he is the strong one and the leader and at other times I am. Each of us has had to carry the other through crises. To me, this is complementarity,
As for staying silent, I will have none of it. I too am created in the image of God and I have a mind and a voice. I will continue to use both. I will however listen deeply to my husband. I expect him to do the same to me but at times both of us has a hearing problem.
Ignore your friends. They are not being helpful to you as you process this issue. Trust God and reflect on it as prayerfully as you can.

It works for us because of the particular religion to which we adhere.
In a home where the man holds the priesthood, that is why it is his job to get the direction.
In my religion marriages are for eternity. I have no vow until death us do part, my marriage was pronounced for time and all eternity.
It has nothing to do with having a penis, it has to do with ordained roles.
Should my husband not be worthy to direct the family I am in no way obligated to follow his counsel. I am obligated only if he is following the Lord.
Posted 16 January 2012 - 07:12 AM
The OP sent me a number of Bible verses which are particularly difficult in this regard, and with her permission I'm going to post my response on them here, because I thought it would be a helpful contribution to the discussion.
Genesis 3:16, "…yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you."
My reading of this is that this is not God commanding how things should be, but describing how they will be, after the fall when human relationships are broken and less than ideal. Certainly this matches women's experience through much of history! I would anticipate that a good Christian marriage, one in which the reign of God is experienced at least in part, would avoid and correct the worst aspects of this dynamic, not seek to enhance it.
Romans 16:7 lists Junia as an apostle, which seems to be a female name. As far as I can tell that's poor transcribing into English and it should read Junias, a male name. This does not, however, remove evidence of female leadership in the Church at this time; notice Phoebe in verse 1 of this chapter, a deacon in the church, and Paul's instruction that the Roman church should help her as a great benefactor (literally, someone "outstanding") in the church. Apostleship is not the only leadership role to consider.
1 Corinthians 11:3, " But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the husband is the head of his wife, and God is the head of Christ."
"Head" here should not carry the modern English freight of authority or control. It's much closer in sense to the idea of source or origin. To read into this verse notions of male control is to see something which wasn't there at the time. Paul's concern is overcoming contention and stressing unity and relationship, not setting up power dynamics.
This verse also needs to be read alongside vv. 11-12 of the same chapter. "Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man or man independent of woman. For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman; but all things come from God." As such, male headship doesn't prevent a woman from full participation; notice that in verse 4 Paul talks about women both praying and prophesying in the church (this is also relevant a bit later when we come to consider the question of silence in Timothy).
As far as the concern with head coverings goes, there are a few competing theories about why Paul thought it was a big deal, but the one I think most likely is that in the cultural background to the letter, both Jews and gentiles were concerned that men not dress, do their hair or wear make up like women. They were afraid that it was a sign of permissiveness towards homosexuality and pederasty. Likewise they wanted women to be feminine and not to present themselves like men. These concerns carried over into the early church. Part of the issue here is firstly the good order of worship, and secondly that outsiders not be able to use the behavior of believers to slander them.
Ephesians 5:23, this is my translation of vv. 21-22, ""Be subject to one another in the fear of Christ. The wives to their own husbands as to the Lord, for a husband is head of the wife in the same way that Christ is head of the Church…"
I see the keys here as being that 1) subjection is mutual and freely given; it is not confined to the women, and 2) within that mutual submission, the wives are to be subject to their own husbands. Most translations leave the "their own" out, but it implies to me that the problem in Ephesus is women undermining their marriages by seeking leadership from other men while ignoring or undermining their husbands – hardly a recipe for a healthy marriage. Just as the Church can't look to someone other than Christ without suffering an identity crisis, a wife can't look to someone other than her husband and expect her family not to suffer.
Then in v23 we come back to statements about headship, but given what I said above about headship language stressing unity and relationship (not power and control), it makes sense in this context where the concern seems to be about mutual submission within a marriage, where the spouses are subject to one another.
1 Timothy 2, I think the key verses are 11-15. This is my translation again: ""Let a woman learn in silence and in all subjection. For I do not allow women to teach, nor dictate to a man, but to be in subjection. For Adam was formed first, then Eve, and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was led astray in becoming a transgressor. But she will be saved during childbearing, if they remain in faith and love and holiness with self-control."
There are a number of things to say about this (what one commentator I read called the most difficult passage in the whole New Testament).
First, up, the word for silence has a meaning of something like like quietness, rest, peacefulness in its connotations; the contrast is with angst rather than speech. We've already seen above that women prayed and prophesied in church; it would make no sense then to read this as forbidding them to speak at all. So the key here is that this is about learning; those who don't have knowledge are not to cause disruption but to be quiet and let those who are teaching do their thing.
The verb I've translated as "dictate" has a range of meaning; it could be translated something like domineer or take authority. The core though I think is about independence; in the church no one is truly independent; those who are learning are dependent on those who have a ministry of leadership and teaching, and even the teachers and pastors are dependent on the Holy Spirit...there is no place for independence, and a woman (or man) who strove for it would be in error. But this is not primarily about sex or gender so much as about what's appropriate for those who are learning. Elsewhere Paul makes it clear that where the Holy Spirit gives gifts of teaching or leadership they should be used in the service of the community, and there he sees no distinction between male and female, for it is the same Spirit who gives those gifts.
It's also worth pointing out that this means that it's not that all women are in "subjection" (lousy term, there's no good English word for this I think; something like a humble and respectful attitude of deference would be a good way of thinking about it), to all men. Women who are still immature and learning should be in subjection to men who are teachers and leaders, but again it's not a generalisation across the whole sex.
The bit about childbirth is tricky; on the surface it can read as if Paul is arguing that salvation comes to women by means of childbearing. Of course that would make a nonsense of the gospel; we don't earn salvation, even in the labour ward. It seems that rather what he is arguing for (and this is the point of the mention of Adam and Eve) is an undoing of the curse of the fall; because of sin women suffer in childbearing. But in Christ, there is safety/health (the word for salvation and the word for healing are exactly the same in Biblical Greek) for women who are faithful, loving, holy, self-controlled, etc, as they come to the dangers of childbirth. I think this has to be read as a general principle, and a hope, rather than a specific promise to each individual Christian woman, because clearly childbirth isn't a danger free zone even with God's protection.

I actually like to look at the website religious tolerance. I believe that a lot of passages have been mistranslated throughout history too oppress certain sections of society. If you look at the original passages many words are 'unknown' and have been translated in ways that may not be correct- just guesses really.
I also think that sometimes we need to look at the time when the bible was written and then also the times of the translations. I believe their is some bias to the bible depending on who did the translating and the time period in which it was translated!

I've just been emailed a link to this article, which I think raises questions about women's participation in the church from a slightly different, but very interesting angle.

Throwing in my 2c worth -
Both 1 Cor 11 and 1 Tim 2 give creational reasons that women are to submit to their husbands. As Ange very rightly explained about "head" and "origin" I think we shouldn't overlook this and think of equality necessarily as being the same as men. God-ordained roles are not about value or worth as a human but about order (as opposed to disorder). Christ submitted completely to God and we would never say he was without power. In fact what we say about him (in Phil 2) is that he had power but gave it up - for us.
There is a group around called "Equal but Different" which might be interesting to you OP. Not my cup of tea but I certainly don't disagree with them.
I don't think that the stay-home-mum/ housewife equivalent existed in biblical times. Subsistence living required all hands on deck to put food on the table I'd say. Not sure why we make this leap that Christian women are best off at home. I know that for my family at the moment being at home is the best thing, but I don't get that directly from the Bible.
Should my husband not be worthy to direct the family I am in no way obligated to follow his counsel. I am obligated only if he is following the Lord.
I think this might have been written in haste - this quotation needs a lot of explanation. What if someone is a believer and their husband is not? What might win someone over to Christ? Forceful agressive assertions of being right or love expressing itself through humble service? How do you define "worthy"?

Without wishing to put words in howdo's mouth, I do believe she was discussing her situation where she understands her DH to fulfil a priestly role within the family. That in and of itself would take a whole stack of unpacking in the context of this conversation, because concepts of priesthood, leadership, teaching roles and so forth differ greatly between different groups of Christians.
Apart from that, I think there is a great danger in arguing the marriage relationship from that between the Son and the Father within the economy of salvation. Subordinationism is a heresy which misrepresents the nature of God as understood in Christianity, and to present Christ's kenosis as anything other than temporary, to fulfil the purposes of the whole Trinity, can lead to dangerous distortions in our understanding of human relationships.
Posted 28 January 2012 - 08:17 PM
Ange, assuming that I have rightly understood your last paragraph (and I do not have a degree in theology, so I acknowledge that may be a very big assumption on my part) I would still say that regardless of whether one argues for or against order in the immanent trinity, the fact that the Son does subordinate himself to the Father in the economy points to the fact that being subordinate is hardly a bad thing.
If we can not believe that God is the God who reveals himself to us in Christ, exactly how can we know him? Obviously not a question to be debated further right here as it has moved far beyond what our various ideas of submission are, but I do wonder.

I did not write it in haste. If you want an explanation I am happy to expand.
If someone is a believer and their husband is not - You ask what about it? I don't know what you want to know, sorry. I think you might mean how do you subject yourself to your husband if he is not Christian? In matters of religion, you do not. For example if my husband were to say "Right, no more church, I think we should all stop going." I would not agree and I would feel no problem in not submitting myself to his opinion/feelings/thoughts on the matter. If he insisted I would not feel obliged to stop. That is not following the Lord.
Very simplistic and open to a lot of "but what abouts -?" but it is the easiest way for me to explain as I don't know exactly what you are asking.
I don't know what winning someone over to Christ has to do with what I wrote, sorry.
How do I define worthy? Living within the tennets of my religion. There's a big list that I don't need to bore anyone with.

If we can not believe that God is the God who reveals himself to us in Christ, exactly how can we know him? Obviously not a question to be debated further right here as it has moved far beyond what our various ideas of submission are, but I do wonder.
Absolutely I would say that Christ's example of humility and service is one to follow. What I was trying to say, though, is that Christ's obedience is not about his inherent being in relationship to the father, and nor can we argue from his example that a marriage ought to be ordered so that one partner is always subordinate, and the other always exercising authority. We can't take Christ's obedience as the pattern for wifeliness, as opposed to the pattern for mutual love between the partners in a marriage.
I think it's an important point because arguing that Christ's subordination is the pattern for wifely subordination has become quite popular, although there are fine scholars (such as Kevin Giles) who articulate well why this is a flawed approach (in books such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/Trinity-Subordinatio...8353&sr=8-1 ).

Start Your Free Aptitude Test for Writers
We recognize that most writing schools do not require any type of pre-qualification as a condition for enrollment. We do. And because we are selective, and because we give every student one-on-one mentoring with each assignment, we are able to promise very specific results to those who qualify:
By the time you finish the program, you'll complete at least two manuscripts suitable to submit to editors. You'll also write a character sketch, plans for six stories or articles, and eight complete manuscripts.
Yes, we're different. We aim higher. Our goal is to teach qualified people how to write for publication and how to sell their writing.
So, in order to find people who are qualified to enroll in our program, we offer this free Writing Test. We strictly limit our enrollment to those who pass it.
Since we begin with better students, it's not surprising that we graduate superior writers.
On top of our promise is our unique guarantee:
Your responses to this test may also give us an indication of whether you prefer fiction, nonfiction, or both—and which of the dozens of genres of writing you find most interesting.
Of course, your instructor and your experience in our program will be of further help in defining your preferences, and you have total flexibility in choosing the kind of writing you want to do by the time you're ready to make a choice.
Choice and flexibility are two of the greatest advantages of this program: We're dedicated to helping you achieve the writing goals of your choice—at your pace and on your schedule.
Before you begin:
Read the instructions and be sure that you understand all the questions.
• There's no time limit and no hurry, so relax. On the other hand, don't dawdle; be spontaneous.
• Follow directions carefully, and complete all seven parts.• You may spend as much time as you like on this test, but allow yourself at least one uninterrupted hour.• Find a quiet place to complete the test, such as a familiar work area where you will not be disturbed.• Relax and have fun! There are no right or wrong answers.
We encourage your use of correct grammar and punctuation, but it is not of critical importance at this exploratory stage. If you have a natural aptitude for writing, we'll recognize it!
Once submitted, your responses will be read carefully. And you have our assurance that all of your responses will be kept entirely confidential. Remember, if you pass this test and decide to enroll, we'll dedicate ourselves to your satisfaction and you will automatically qualify for our guarantee: If you are not satisfied that you've become a better writer and learned how to market your writing to publishers by the time you've completed our program, you can obtain a full refund.

"Camp Capinpin, Tanay, Rizal" Tanay by jgbrillantes
Tanay Travel Guide: 15 reviews and 123 photos
I lived in Camp Capinpin, Bgy. Sampaloc, Tanay, Rizal when I was from 1 to 5 years old. I had a nice childhood in Tanay. I had the opportunity to climb trees, run around in fields, climb hills, and swim in rivers and falls, and, of course, in the JE Farm swimming pool.
I had a very simple life. In the morning, I watched Sesame Street and Batibot (children shows) until about lunch time. After lunch, I went to my pre-school. After dismissal, I would be picked up by the driver and delivered to my parents who were either playing tennis at the clubhouse or badminton at the pelota court. After supper, we watched TV, played board games and then slept.
When my family and I visited recently, it was fun to see how the places that I remember changed. It was also fun to be told about the places I don't remember anymore. We were treated very nicely when we visited. Horses for riding and a horse-drawn carriage were prepared for us, the rappelling wall (my sister, brothers and I know how to rappel) was almost also prepared but the rope master was competing in a rifle shooting competition, meals were always served on time and in our accomodation, and they also invited us to take a couple of pistol shots, which we basically declined because a competition was going on, and my sister and father took a couple of swings at the golf driving range. I took pictures of my pre-school, our house before (which is now basically a ruin), and the scenery.
Visiting Tanay, Rizal is not really for soft (i.e. travelling to places but wanting the comforts and familiarity of home) travelers. It's a small town an hour and a half away from Manila, but it's a world apart from urban Manila. If travelers like serenity, staring at mountain ranges, and feeling the wind on one's face, Tanay is worth a visit.

I guess this is more or less a two-part question, but here's the basics first: I am writing some PHP to use preg_match_all to look in a variable for strings book-ended by {}. It then iterates through each string returned, replaces the strings it found with data from a MySQL query.
The first question is this: Any good sites out there to really learn the ins and outs of PCRE expressions? I've done a lot of searching on Google, but the best one I've been able to find so far is http://www.regular-expressions.info/. In my opinion, the information there is not well-organized and since I'd rather not get hung up having to ask for help whenever I need to write a complex regex, please point me at a couple sites (or a couple books!) that will help me not have to bother you folks in the future.
The second question is this: I have this regex
and I need it to catch instances such as
{first_name}, {last_name}, {email}, etc. I have three problems with this regex.
The first is that it sees "
{first_name} {last_name}" as one string, when it should see it as two. I've been able to solve this by checking for the existence of the space, then exploding on the space. Messy, but it works.
The second problem is that it includes punctuation as part of the captured string. So, if you have "
{first_name} {last_name},", then it returns the comma as part of the string. I've been able to partially solve this by simply using preg_replace to delete periods, commas, and semi-colons. While it works for those punctuation items, my logic is unable to handle exclamation points, question marks, and everything else.
The third problem I have with this regex is that it is not seeing instances of {email} at all.
Now, if you can, are willing, and have time to simply hand me the solution to this problem, thank you as that will solve my immediate problem. However, even if you can do this, please please provide an lmgfty that provides good web sites as references and/or a book or two that would provide a good education on this subject. Sites would be preferable as money is tight, but if a book is the solution, I'll find the money (assuming my local library system is unable to procure said volume).

There's nothing spookier than an abandoned house that's still full of dusty, decaying furniture. When something is abandoned, it's been cast off or deserted.
The adjective abandoned describes something that's been given up or discarded. You can use it to talk about a kitten abandoned at an animal shelter, an old car abandoned by the side of the road, or a person's dreams of becoming an opera singer abandoned when they had kids. It comes from the French phrase mettre a bandon, "put someone under another's control."
Full Definitions of abandoned
adj forsaken by owner or inhabitants
"weed-grown yard of an abandoned farmhouse"
not having inhabitants; not lived in
adj free from constraint
""an abandoned sadness born of grief"- Liam O'Flaherty"
- Synonyms:
not inhibited or restrained

View of Salar Grande ("big salt flat", basically), from a little ridge lying west of the deposit.

Heading towards the top of this fan deposit, sampling along the way. Along the left edge of the pan, the debris fan terminates at a fault scarp at the base of the nearby ridge (the fault scarp is several hundred feet high, although that's really not visible here).
(For now, I have no idea where exactly this pan was taken - it's on an alluvial fan near Salar Grande in the Atacama Desert, N. Chile. More when I can find the GPS logs!)
These ridges are Jurassic aged volcanic deposits that represent earlier Andes volcanism (the current Andes are a few hundred km further east).

We're going to have two amazing information designers presenting along with Q&A, and we'll also be diving into a bit of the @visualized conference that we're planning for November in NYC.
Presenting on Tuesday, June 19:
Hyperakt is an independent design company based in Carroll Gardens, where they focus on creating meaningful design for the common good. I've personally been a fan of Hyperakt's work after walking past their studio and admiring their design. It is great to have Deroy walk through the creative process they use for designing information from start to finish.
You can follow them @hyperakt
Sarah Williams is currently Co-Director of Columbia University's Spatial Information Design Lab (SIDL). The Spatial Information Design Lab (SIDL) which Williams directs uses innovative mapping and data visualization techniques to highlight urban issues. The Lab's work has been widely exhibited and written about and is currently part of MoMA's permanent collection. Before becoming Director of SIDL, Williams was at MIT where she started the Geographic Information System (GIS) Laboratory and then helped to establish MIT's SENSEable City Laboratory.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Really fantastic experience --- beyond the free beer and pizza, which are always nice, I had a few pleasant conversations and really enjoyed the presenters, especially the surprise guest from Columbia. I look forward seeing what this group has in store next --- I'm definitely on board for the Visualized conference this fall.
Future suggestion: would love even more opportunities to meet and interact.

Government PR surges amid media cuts
As reporter ranks shrink, agencies are using tax money to fill (or exploit) the void
"Undersheriff Looks Back on Outstanding Career"
"County Building Permits Keep Residents Safe"
"County's 'Live Well, San Diego!' Improving the Region's Health"
The headlines all appeared on the County News Center website, which looks like a real news outlet — but isn't. The site has a .com address, as opposed to .gov, and contains only subtle cues that it's a San Diego County government public-relations operation.
The stories are written by PR people paid with tax money. The 18-month-old venture produces daily online reports, videos and graphics that attempt to sidestep (or replace) traditional media and go "direct to you."
Spend time on the site and you will find a pattern of coverage portraying the county as essentially faultless. That perception appears to be held among top officials, who call it "the finest local government in America" and then quote themselves saying that.
Travails of the traditional news industry are well-known, with reporting ranks contracting across the nation.
The County News Center is a manifestation of a lesser-known counter-trend: a surge of government communicators to fill the void left by the media — or exploit it.
Nationwide, the number of government PR workers more than doubled from 2003 to 2011 while the number of reporters and correspondents fell by a quarter, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. There used to be one government PR specialist for every four reporters in America; now the relationship is almost 1-to-1.
In San Diego County, the ratio is 0.86 government PR specialists for every reporter. Public-sector communicators briefly outnumbered reporters two years ago, according to the California Employment Development Department.
The ratio is probably much higher. Many of the reporters included in the numbers write about business or arts or sports, leaving those who cover government easily outnumbered.
The statistics also don't account for the government's extensive use of PR contractors. The Port of San Diego has spent $2.3 million on 10 different public-affairs companies over the past four years, at least one at a rate of $595 per hour.
Just this week, California Gov. Jerry Brown pulled the plug on a $9.8 million PR contract for a Bay Area bridge project — including a commemorative book — saying it looked unseemly after the state pleaded poverty to win approval of a tax increase.
Several reasons underlie the trends. For one thing, government is growing as a percentage of the U.S. economy and in raw size — from $4 trillion in 2003 to $6.25 trillion now. In addition, a demanding populace wants more public information while changing technologies offer more sophisticated ways of managing the message.
"It used to be that if you wanted to communicate with government you had to show up at a public meeting or make a phone call during business hours," said Kendra B. Stewart, director of the Joseph P. Riley Jr. Center for Livable Communities at the College of Charleston. "Today, there are many other ways such as posting to Facebook, tweeting the mayor or sending emails. Because of the interest and ability for citizens to respond to government there has been a need to hire people to basically serve as the other end to that and communicate back."
Government PR dates back at least to Andrew Jackson's administration, which featured newspaperman Amos Kendall as the first presidential press secretary. The profession took off in the run-up to the first and second world wars and from 2007 to 2011, its ranks jumped 80 percent.
Martin Kaplan, professor of entertainment, media and society at the University of Southern California, said there is much at stake as the government's unchecked message reaches wider audiences and the fourth estate struggles to retain its footing.

These chocolate chip cookie dough truffles are made with almonds, coconut oil, honey, chocolate chips, vanilla and a dash of salt, and can be coated with chocolate or served plain. (The first batch disappeared before I got a chance to dip them.) Once you try these tasty little cookie bites, you'll be hooked. Even my somewhat finicky husband loves them. They're a great way to get more coconut oil into your diet. (The Tropical Traditions website has a great recipe page with dozens of recipes using coconut products.)

Stainless Steel Header - 4H07450H
Good Header
The original header flange was way too thick to use the drz400 header bolts so I had to take the flange off of the stock pipe and slightly modify it to be used with the new header. Was a little hard to get it to bolt up to a Yoshi slip-on too but I was expecting that. Overall it's a great mod for the price, I could feel the bike gained some mid range and top end power.
Review By: Patrickdrz
Worked for me.
had to replace stock header on my 06 crf250x, I was a little concerned about it fitting as my local dealer told me it probably wouldn't. I phoned Dennis Kirk and they confirmed with their tech that it would fit and when it came I had no problems installing. I also saved a reasonable amount of money buying thru Dennis Kirk , which was key in making the purchase in the first place.
Review By: StrokerAce
Review By: budge
Better performance than stock and much cheaper.
I had to replace the header on my 450 due to damage to the stocker. This one was much cheaper than replacing with OEM and I saw increased performance over the stocer (in it's pre-damaged condition).

Madonna is a bitch out of order, a bat out of hell and a fish out of water. At least that's what she compares herself to in the song "Gang Bang," off her brand new album, "MDNA." The album officially comes out tomorrow, though it leaked online late last week. Madge's claim about being broken, angry and alienated is a succinct self-analysis.
It's been four years since her last album of new material, the longest gap of her nearly 30-year career, which would explain the fish-out-of-water feeling — to say nothing of the fact that her last album came out a full six months before the debut of another Italian-American with a stage name, a penchant for shock value and a monster-load of blond ambition, Lady Gaga.
As far as the bitch-out-of-order and the bat-out-of-hell, her venomous personal lyrics on this album make it difficult to distinguish Madonna, the pop legend from Madonna, the mortal whose eight-year marriage to director Guy Ritchie ended in a bitter divorce.
"I tried to be a good girl, I tried to be your wife," she sings on "I Don't Give A."
It is this vulnerability that gives "MDNA" its vitality. And this uneasiness of being thrown into a different life situation almost makes it acceptable for her to sing like a teenager about drinking too much Tanqueray and "Tweetin' in the elevator." Comparing a new love to Mike Jordan and Abe Lincoln in the same song? Well, that's just silly. But she seems to acknowledge there's a personal crisis at hand, where impulsive behavior is the norm, singing, "I know I shouldn't act this way" in "Girl Gone Wild."
This confessional intimacy also makes it difficult to criticize Madonna for imitation, which she does indulge in a bit on "MDNA." To that charge, the material girl is just as much of a smart shopper as she's always been, using the baddest guest stars (including Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.) and the best producers (including Martin Solveig and William Orbit) to bring her sound into now. If she can't define the times, she's certainly not going to be behind them. And really, anybody she's borrowing from wouldn't even be making music if it weren't for her. The racecar basslines, pumping beats and Skrillex-style monster breakdown would seem forced if not done properly. But it's Madonna, and even if she is a fish out of water, she can always get into the groove.

He has been going through this particular problem with his mobile phone. The cellphone seems to be working fine except few issues in it. He mentioned that he is finding it really difficult to sync his LG Optimus V with his MS Exchange server. So, he asked for help from me. But unfortunately, I am also not that good with the LG mobile phones. So can anyone tell me what is d reason behind this issue and how can it be solved.

With a guitar T-shirt, you never know when inspiration will take you. Imagine strumming a little Paul Simon while sitting on a warm Californian beach, maybe, or just practising a few riffs standing in a cold bus-shelter waiting for the number 53 to Ponds End…
The Electronic Rock Guitar Shirt will set you back $29.99, and you strum away by waving a magnetic pick over the strings…
There's even a mini guitar amp speaker that clips to your belt and, inevitably, the volume control goes past ten and all the way up to 11…
Product Features
- Adjustable tone knob
- Electronic components are easily removed from the shirt for washing
- Includes two magnetic picks
- Picks stick to speaker grill for easy storage
- Requires 4 x AAA Batteries
A video of the guitar in action follows, but before we leave T-shirt technology, a quick mention for the AV-Connector T-shirt (right).
It would be a handy reference guide but – in a nice touch – all the details are only awkwardly accessible around the back… It'll cost you $18 from Threadless.
Hold on…. is that someone on a drums-T-shirt in the background?!

Three students working under the guidance of biology faculty member Leah Olson completed a ten-week research project attempting to identify differences in brain structure between two competing species of tube blenny, small fish commonly found in coral reefs. The group was one of seven participating in The Division of Science and Mathematics' Summer Undergraduate Research Program, now in its sixth year.
Sarah Lawrence first encountered blennies through biology professor Ray Clarke, who has published a series of papers describing the turbulent relationship between roughheads (Acanthemblemaria aspera) and spinyheads (Acanthemblemaria spinosa), named for the branch-like projections jutting from their foreheads. Both prefer higher coral for better access to food, but it is the spinyheads that dominate. Clarke pins this to innate differences in metabolism.
Olson has spent the past three summers, this year accompanied by Meredith Gibbons '08, Matt Lupoli '09, and Amina Sariahmed '08, seeking a physiological explanation for the blennies' behavior. To test Clarke's idea, her students conduct experiments comparing the presence of the hormone leptin, a major regulator of energy intake and expenditure by switching on or off appetite, in the two species.
To detect leptin receptors, the brains are first obtained from the fish, prepared so that they can be cut into flimsy slabs of tissue comparable to deli ham, bathed in assays that stain the proteins of interest, mounted on slides and then observed under a microscope. What may appear to be a quick and easy process requires much trial and error, made difficult by the sensitivity of the laboratory procedures and the scale of the brains, each about the size of a sprinkle.
As most leptin research has been done in mammals, and fish neurobiology has focused almost exclusively to goldfish, guppies or zebrafish, each of Olson's groups face the challenge of treading in new water. "Because there is so little literature out there, we don't know what to think. It can be really frustrating," accepts Gibbons. "There's no reference. You can't follow a recipe; you just have to make it up as you go along. These projects are more fun, much more personal. You feel like you've done it when you get a result here."
The students also learn that science is more hands-on than how it is presented in a classroom lab component. "We're working with live animals, so there are some ethical issues," said Gibbons. To acquire a brain, a fish is chosen and dropped into a bottle of formaldehyde; this fixes the tissue and prepares it for dissection. Each student has come to terms with inevitable killing of the fish. Sariahmed had a tough time at first, but now says, "It makes me more determined so that the animal did not die for no good reason."
One of the limiting factors for the group was a lack of blennies. They have yet to be bred in captivity, although a university in Florida will soon be making an attempt, so they require Clarke to trek down to the Caribbean, dive into the reef, and pick some out. Until they had a large enough stock, the group practiced the techniques on goldfish and guppies.
"A lot of things we do in the lab require a certain degree of artistic talent" said Sariahmed. "There's an art to dissection. You can't go in and rip the animal apart. It's important to have respect." To get to the brain, the students must carefully scrape off the skull. Once in hand it is dehydrated and submerged into wax. The artist must return to cut these into blocks, preparing the brain to be sliced and stained.
Once the procedure is complete, everyone braces themselves for the microscope. "This project is like magic for me," says Olson. "There are so many steps when you're working blind. You have to just continue through the whole process. But it works fairly regularly, consistently." Clear staining by Lupoli in the final week showed exactly what she hopes for at the end of each experiment: brown clumps representing leptin receptors. Rather than appearing primarily in the hypothalamus, as is the case in mammals, the team sees staining near the ventricles of the blenny brain, and an area identified by Olson as the optic tectum, where vision is processed.
The question they're asking now is: If leptin regulates metabolism, what would it have to do with sight? Olson hypothesizes it may "mediate visual appetite responses," making food stimuli appear more or less appealing as hormone levels fluctuate. She adds, "It is very possible leptin has a different role in fish."
Despite the difficulties, at the close of the ten weeks each student hoped that it was not the end of their lab experience. As Sariahmed put it, "Three months is nothing. I feel like I'm just getting started." Lupoli plans to pursue cognitive neuroscience, while Gibbons will continue researching blennies for her senior thesis.
The students became more than fellow scientists in their time together. They had fun discussing what they read in the latest science magazine, planning sleepovers to Gibbons' air-conditioned apartment and discovering each other's strengths and weaknesses. Lab coats and microscopes aside, the group also knew how to laugh. There exist very few contexts one can honestly say, "Your brain's a lot smaller than mine."
A blenny brain atlas showing the various slides obtained from this research is now accessible on Leah Olson's Web site.

A former school teacher in Tuscaloosa, Ala. has been indicted on one count of second-degree rape. She's accused of having a mutual sexual relationship with a 13-year-old boy.
Paperwork on Harriet Gordon, 30, showed she had also previously worked in Sumter County, Shelby County and North Carolina.
Investigators said Gordon met the boy, who is now in a state-operated facility in south Alabama, while she was a special education teacher at Myrtlewood Elementary School in 2003.
Gordon is free on $10,000 bond.
