Eleventh and 12th.
That's where the Bruins' power play and penalty kill rank, respectively, but the major struggles of both of late have the Bruins both scratching their heads and losing games.
Over the last seven games (2-5-0), the B's power play has allowed one more goal (two) than it has scored (1-for-23). The lone goal came Dec. 31 against the Islanders, and the Bruins have gone 0-for-17 since.
The traditionally airtight penalty kill, meanwhile, has been just as ineffective by allowing 10 goals in the last seven games, all of which were without Dennis Seidenberg. By comparison, the B's had allowed just two power-play goals over their previous 10 games.
The story with the B's in recent years has been that they've been a very strong five-on-five team that killed penalties well and struggled to do much on the power play. Last season they were top five in penalty-kill percentage (fourth in the league at an 87.1 percent clip) and bottom five in power-play percentage (their 14.8 success rate was 26th in the league).
Yet this season saw the power play become a major weapon for the B's. With the additions of Torey Krug (playing in his first full season), Jarome Iginla, Reilly Smith, Loui Eriksson and Ryan Spooner, as well as the presence of Zdeno Chara in front of the net, the Bruins established two productive units that had the Bruins fifth in the NHL with a 22.6 percent success rate on the man advantage. Since then, they've had just the one power-play goal, have allowed the aforementioned two and are looking for answers.
"We obviously got to do a better job and bear down," Patrice Bergeron said after Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs. "That's the bottom line."
As things currently stand, the Bruins have dropped to 11th in the league with goals on 19.2 percent of their power plays.
To make matters worse, Dougie Hamilton's concussion forced Claude Julien to tinker with his two power-play units Tuesday. The most notable move was that he took Chara off the first unit and put him on the point of the second unit. From there, Milan Lucic moved up to Chara's usual net-front spot, with Spooner jumping from the second unit to take Lucic's usual spot on the first unit and Eriksson returning to power-play action on the half-wall of the second unit.
If that's too confusing to follow, the thing to take away is that it didn't get results.
"It's important to get our chances up ... our entries, get in and just get those shots and stuff consistently and they'll go in for us again, but it is tough," Iginla said after the game. "It is tough when you're in a one goal game and you don't find that important power play goal."
As for the penalty kill, the performance since Seidenberg went down has been troubling. Tuesday's game marked the third game in the last seven in which the B's have given up multiple power-play goals. They haven't been as strong around their own net, with even Chara getting outmanned down low in a second-period Leafs power play.
What irked Julien seemed to be the lack of attention to detail Tuesday. After a puck bounced off Chara to James van Riemsdyk around the bottom of the left circle, the University of New Hampshire product sent across to Tyler Bozak, who was left unattended by Johnny Boychuk and beat Tuukka Rask.
According to Julien, it was just that play that the Bruins expected from Toronto. He doesn't call out his players often, but he conveyed his displeasure with how Boychuk handled the play.
"That goal from the back door there in the first period, it was identified before the game that they do that," Julien said, "so we need a little bit of sharpness from individuals as well, and get a little more composure on the PK."
Though Seidenberg was a big loss, the Bruins have to find a way to stop the bleeding on the PK. After all, they've gotten by with a poor power play over the years, but that's been partially because they had a good enough penalty kill to make special teams a wash.
"Is the effort there? I don't know if it's effort; it might be attention to detail, focus," Gregory Campbell said. "There's no question that everybody is committed in this room and cares. We have a great group and successful group, but again I think that that success comes from those small details that really make a difference.
"It's one step at a time when you're going through a time like this. I've been here for four years now and the penalty kill has always been really solid. It's just an area that we have to rectify and we'll do that."

BP's record settlement of $4.5 billion for damages caused by the explosion and spill of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in 2010 is the largest criminal fine in U.S. history, but at a fifth of the company's 2011 profits, to be paid over a span of five years, it amounts to a "pathetic" slap on the wrist, says Public Citizen's Tyler Slocum.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership, a secretive international trade pact under consideration by the Obama administration, would force American policy to conform to the whims of foreign corporations operating in the U.S. by allowing them to appeal key regulations to an international tribunal. That body would have the power to override U.S. law and issue penalties for failure to comply with its rulings.
A document from President Obama's free trade negotiations that was leaked Wednesday morning revealed an administration proposal to allow multinational corporations doing business in the United States to police themselves via an international tribunal staffed by lawyers on the companies' payroll. The scheme obliterates a 2008 promise by Obama to do just the opposite.

If I was going to build a maximum-security prison I'd build it in Slough,
that way the convicts would be safer inside the jail and not try to
But does the American government ever listen to me? No they don't and shame on them! I've emailed George Bush at least a dozen times with my plans for a coal powered time machine and get NO response. If you're reading this George, when I've got it working I'm going back in time and punching a few extra holes in Al Gores cards! I know he'd listen!
But I digress. Anyway you shouldn't build a maximum-security prison in Antarctica because everybody knows there are snakes trapped under the ice there that are 100ft long. But the American government ignores common sense and does it anyway. When will they learn? I mean I saw the plan that they came up with in Deep Impact to stop the comet (which was laughable) and their attempt to capture the Predator in Predator 2 was weak at best, so who comes up with these ideas?
Anyway things go wrong, which I could have told them was going to happen, and a giant snake (surprise, surprise) starts eating people. Luckily Dean Cain shows up. At this point I was pretty sure that everyone was doomed, but plucky Dean and his wife manage to outsmart the snake and save everybody. Well, maybe not everybody. Actually it's just themselves, but the other people were criminals so they deserved death.
So my embiggened marking systems records Boa (as it is called in the UK) as having achieved 7 Gi-ants (which is a combination of two words giant and ants. Gi-ants. Clever eh?) which is a universally acknowledged as being good. The name is accurate and there are some reasonable costumes.
Anybody who sees this film expecting the second coming of Citizen Kane is fooling themselves. Folks, it's just a movie meant to entertain us. And in that sense, I think it did a fine job. Sure there were holes in the plot and some mediocre CG effects, but overall it didn't do too badly in my book. My main gripes were in the opening scene. So if I'm flying a giant cargo plane and it starts making funny noises, I'm certainly not going to open up the crates. And that CG snake is pretty badly done. Why a snake? A monkey would have been more convincing, and most importantly, monkeys make us laugh! I was impressed with the set design though. Very effective use of set design to give us the sense of claustrophobia. The main control room was quite a contrast to the rest of the cold blocky hallways. Overall, not a bad job, especially from the typical giant snake movie. Faced between Anaconda or Boa at the video stores, I'd take Boa in a heartbeat.
This movie is non-stop B quality action. One of the least likely plots in the world, some of the most unrealistic special effects ever and a script that probably doesn't exist, I think the director realized the caliber of acting talent he had at his disposal and let them adlib the lot. Best bits are when the security guard acts like he has had no gun training as he fires his shotgun aimlessly (good pun). Also when dean cains missus runs off and he shouts her name about 7 times in a row. JESSICA, JESSICA JESSICA. I do love this film, but only cos its really bad. Dean Cain to play bond!!!!! Oh and the ending is ridiculous!!!!! Cold blooded snake that isn't bothered it's in antarctic conditions!!!!! Likely.
Although this movie had very poor special effects, the acting, script and action was not that bad, and the movie did have a good low-budget feel to it. Fans of snake flicks might want to rent this. So, overall, this was a watchable film that is hammered by bad special effects. I guess I can recommend it.

New Alcatraz would have gotten a 4/10 from me if it weren't for the
fact that I nearly stopped watching it partway through due to
predictability. The director and writer seem to have learned their
trade by reading "Starter's guide: Make your own survival horror!".
Only three characters survive the movie. One of them survived because the plane needed a pilot. The other two survived because they were married to each other. The hero is killed off at the last moment in order to conform to the expectations of the genre. Altogether throughly unconvincing.
The only remotely realistic character in the entire movie is Yuri Brescov, played by Mark Sheppard (who actually plays the role quite well). The two paleontologists are not particularly sympathetic characters, in fact, the only thing they have going for them is the fact that they closely resemble Antonio Banderas and Katie Holmes respectively.
With the exception of Yuri, who was a beacon of courage, competence, common sense and honour, the other characters failed to put up even a reasonable level of effort into ensuring their own survival, despite being completely aware of the nature and deadliness of the threat they faced. Mind boggling incompetence seems to occur in every scene. One particularly strange event is when the soldier McCarthy is killed and the major seems to immediately forget about his existence, not even acknowledging his death, despite being in constant radio contact with him for several minutes leading up to his death.
Another failure is the inconsistency of the characters. Two examples come to mind, the first is Sergeant Quinn, who has been extremely worried about the snake and the survival of himself and his men and even refused to leave the command station until given a direct order by the warden is told by the scientists that the vibrations produced by the carts they are riding would attract the snake and they should proceed on foot. At this point he suddenly decides that he can't be bothered to walk and continues on in the cart. The other example would be Yuri, who is extremely calm, clearheaded and courageous throughout the rest of the movie suddenly freezes in the middle of a scene, which again is totally out of character.
One of the biggest oversights is the potential for psychological tension between the prisoners and the 'good guys' during the escape, which seems to have been completely ignored. The inmates of the highest security prison in the world are actually fairly decent people. I am incapable of giving any comment on this.
The real failing of the movie is that it is neither character driven nor plot driven. This removes all the believability in the story and prevents the audience from becoming involved in the film. With a good writer this could have been a great film. Three out of Ten.
1. There is no way in the world a maximum security prison to have only
13 personal including the engineers. No cook. No Janitor. Only the
guards, the warden and the engineers.
2. There is no way for an 80 feet's Boa to travel as fast as a F1 racing car on an empty hallway.
3. There is no way for an airplane to reach certain destination without confirmation from the destination source.
4. There is no way for an airplane to come to an isolate place where's the pilot himself have to fill the fuel them self. Refer to no:01.
5. There is no way for the wife of the star to survive while the others which were trained arm personal, deadliest terrorists in the world died in an instants.
6. There is no way for a snake / BOA to "eat" thru a 2 feet thick wall which suppose to take weeks for humans to drills thru with sophisticated drills.
7. There is no way for a Snake to "eat" thru a military airplane which suppose to withstand thousands pounds of pressure.
8. There is no way this movie suppose to be made.
9. Do not rent / see / but this movie
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Somewhere on the frozen ground of Antarctica a high-level security prison is being built which will eventually contain the worst criminals in the world. Unfortunately, because the construction is behind schedule the warden, "Fred Riley" (Craig Wasson) orders his engineers to drill into a hollow rock formation before necessary tests can be made to ensure the safety of the procedure. Sure enough, a gas pocket is hit which causes an explosion that results in some damage to the facility. What they don't realize is that the real problem is yet to be faced because the hole created by the explosion has released a giant boa constrictor which is extremely hungry from his million-year hibernationand the only available food source is the people within the prison. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that it had a pretty good premise to build upon. Regrettably, this film lacked anything substantive. The suspense was weak, the acting was uneven and the plot was much too simplistic. I especially thought the casting of a female IRA terrorist named "Patricia O'Boyle" (played by Amandah Reyne) was totally laughable and practically ruined the entire film all by itself. In short, this movie had potential but the director (Phillip J. Roth) failed to capitalize on it. I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Whoever came up with this idea definitely had a good imagination. The co-writer and director of this movie, Phillip Roth, has been known to do his giant creature movies on the Sci-Fi channel. He has over 80 producing credits in the last 15 years, and some notable Sci-Fi channel names are: Python, Python 2, Boa vs. Python, Lake Placid 2, Bats: Human Harvest, Lake Placid 3, and Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines. There are many more, but I think I got my point down. Phillip Roth has been doing monster movies for almost 20 years. But this one nails a pretty good example of what others lacked. Main idea: a giant snake is running loose in a big prison in Antarctica. All those monster movies I listed up there don't really have an unsuspected setting. Python takes place in a regular town, Lake Placid 2 is in Lake Placid (I think?), and Wrong Turn 5, I mean come on, are the hillbillies going to move? The acting in this movie is OK, special effects could use some work on, but the script is what makes this movie a pretty good monster movie. It can be suspenseful, and you want to see the characters get out. Overall, this movie isn't going to win an academy award, but if you want to see a pretty decent monster movie, check this one out.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This movie met all of my expectations. While it is certainly not
something that I would have gone to a movie theater to see, I believe
that it offers an enjoyable use of a couple hours.
Since pretty much everyone before me has been ragging on it, I suppose I should say my piece.
1. Dean Cain, while not in the Brad Pitt/Morgan Freeman category of actors, does offer a pretty solid character in most of his roles and this (in my view) is no exception. I think that his mannerisms were pretty natural considering he may as well have been sharing a row-boat with badger for how safe he was.
2. A lot of people felt that the snake was poorly done, and perhaps they had higher definition on their TVs (which wouldn't surprise me). The scenes with this snake are very short and not very frequent. As far as problems, I would say that the biggest one is that somehow the scenes made the snake look smaller then it was suppose to be (comparing them against the size of the hole it made in a wall). The snake looked to me to be about three or four feet wide, and the hole in the wall was at least six feet in diameter (probebly more like eight).
Sub Note: The movie indicates that this snake makes a tunnel through ice that is roughly wide enough for two grown men to walk through side by side, and is about 30 paces long. My imagination cannot accept that as a possibility (even a drill would take a very long time to force through that much ice), and that did kind of weaken the plot for me.
3. Pretty much all of these characters are undeveloped. I am guessing that this became apparent to the director at some point, because there are poorly timed arguments between the two co-stars which were (in my view) an unsuccessful attempt at giving them substance beyond the monster experience.
When I am going to watch a movie about a giant snake, I am basically more concerned with his eating habits then the character development. I suppose this is a large part of the reason that I enjoyed this movie, and a large part of the reason that it achieved a 7/10 from me.
The movie is best described as any typical poorly produced horror type movie where the characters will do the stupidest things to get themselves killed for no reason (eg.-walking into places knowing that you'll be killed or not taking anyones obvious warnings). The acting itself was not bad but the movie doesn't make much sense as to how a giant snake can move around the prison but can't really be seen until at least the last 45 minutes of the film. Some scenes were just written poorly. for example, dean cain promises a prisoner her safety when she was freaking out about the snake eating her and 5 minutes later, all he did was shoot her (but not the snake) so she wouldn't have to deal with the pain of being eaten... I guess that's still keeping his word. I'm no animal expert but this snake goes around this prison eating a bunch of people...don't snakes eat and then go hide and sleep it off since they're most vulnerable when they are full?? I don't think it's even worth the time watching this film. if dean cain would show some skin, perhaps it's still worth the rental.

Film Feared to Be Lampooning Hinduism, 'Love Guru' Makers Agreed Special Screening
Answering to the screening demand from prominent Hindu leader Rajan Zed, the filmmakers of the upcoming comedy "The Love Guru" let out clarification that the movie is not aimed to offend anybody's feelings, particularly Hindu followers and leaders. Further, Punjab Newsline reported that Paramount Pictures have agreed to screen the film for Hindu leaders to clear up the misunderstanding.
In an official statement made on Monday, March 17, the Senior Vice President National Publicity of Paramount Pictures Jessica Rovins revealed that everyone involved are intending to preview the Marco Schnabel-directed film to the Hindu leaders. The statement read, "Along with Mike Myers, the film stars Jessica Alba, Verne Troyer, Justin Timberlake, Romany Malco, Deepak Chopra and Manu Narayan (who comes from a Hindu background). It is our full intention to screen the film for Rajan Zed and other Hindu leaders in the U.S. once we have a finished print."
The Hindu News reported that Rovins, who is also the film's publicist, also noted down that the film is a comedy movie which purpose is merely to entertain and not to lampoon Hinduism. Quoted by Punjab, she wrote in the statement, "The Love Guru - which is still in post-production - is a satire created in the same spirit as Austin Powers."
The clarification came after Zed who is the president of Universal Society of Hinduism (USH) demanded that "Guru" has to be shown to Hindu representatives before it is released in the theaters on June 20 reasoning that the details given about the film appears to be mocking the religion as well as using Hindu terms foolishly. "I was deeply concerned after watching the trailer," Zed says. "It appears to be lampooning Hinduism. Hindu terms are also used frivolously. It perpetuates stereotypes of Hindus" On receiving the response from Paramount, he stated, "I do have an email response from Paramount. But we have to wait and watch."

OpenOffice.org Storms Away – on the Continent
Some people get sniffy about OpenOffice.org, calling it mickey mouse in comparison to the "serious" and "grown-up" Microsoft Office. That may have been a vaguely plausible jibe for version 1, but I've found version 2 to be incredibly fast and powerful – it really does everything I need in an office suite, and it does it well. And yet OpenOffice.org rarely gets the respect it deserves.
Maybe that's going to change soon – at least on the continent:
If we look at OpenOffice.org, the three markets where the open source office suite is competing most successfully with Microsoft Office are probably Germany, France and Italy, followed by other European markets like Spain and the Netherlands. In Italy, where I have the updated numbers, we are hitting today - maybe while I'm writing this post - one million downloads since January 1st, 2008 (over 350.000 since the announcement of OOo 2.4 in late March). Although we don't have Microsoft figures for Office 2007, we estimate a maximum of 1.8 million licenses sold in 2008.

Industrial SBC builds on Raspberry Pi Compute Module
On Kickstarter, a "MyPi" industrial SBC using the RPi Compute Module offers a mini-PCIe slot, serial port, wide-range power, and modular expansion. You might wonder why in 2016 someone would introduce a sandwich-style single board computer built around the aging, ARM11 based COM version of the original Raspberry Pi, the Raspberry Pi Compute Module. First off, there are still plenty of industrial applications that don't need much CPU horsepower, and second, the Compute Module is still the only COM based on Raspberry Pi hardware, although the cheaper, somewhat COM-like Raspberry Pi Zero, which has the same 700MHz processor, comes close.

Why Brangelina Haven't Married?
"Brad promised his last wife on their wedding day they'd be together forever, and they didn't make it. He is a sensitive soul who just wants to make sure he can keep his promise this time around." That's how Betty Russell, the actor's grandmother said on the reason why Brad Pitt has yet married to Angelina Jolie.
In other words, it seems that Pitt really is devastated by his divorce from Jennifer Aniston that he won't get married with Jolie until he's certain they will be "together forever."
Furthermore, Russell also claimed Pitt has been opened up to her about his three kids and told her that he was enjoying being a dad, and that he's especially close to son Maddox with whom he shares "little secrets".
"Brad has always wanted to have children and he is playing the father role very well. The family loved Jennifer. But he has got Angelina now and seems really happy with life. (Brad is) very close to (Maddox). He confides little secrets to him," granny Russell added.

Eight years ago, I started a blog with 20 bucks. On Tuesday, a California Assembly committee passed a bill I originally wrote to start the process of turning off resources to the NSA. It already passed the Senate 29-1, and should get to the Governor's desk this year.
The official assembly analysis of the bill cites not only the 10th Amendment (yes, in California), but also the Tenth Amendment Center as a legal authority on why the bill can and should be passed.
I still have barely more than 20 bucks in my pocket. But if I can get this much done here with all my personal shortcomings and limitations, you can do as much – and more.

United States Patent #7587526
Embedding endianness information within data and sending and receiving data with the embedded endianness information. Data may be contained in a data structure. To embed endianness information in a data structure, unused bits in a data structure are identified. A number of the unused bits are then selected based on the possible unpacking combinations of the data structure. The endian bit values are set to a pattern to indicate the endianness of the data structure. Data that has been packed by a transmitting module can be unpacked by a receiving module based on the detected endian bits. An algorithm may be used to determine which unused bits to select as the endian bits.

A Crank on Gay Marriage - Murphy Brown Revisted
Just before the 1992 election cycle, Vice President Dan Quayle gave a rousing speech about the moral decline of our nation. In passing, he criticized television character Murphy Brown's portrayal of having a child out of wedlock as a normal lifestyle choice. Of course, the Vice President thought this was a bad prime-time example for teenagers. The media ridiculed the "Murphy Brown" speech and Quayle further became the liberals' poster boy for foot-in-mouth disease.
The context didn't matter even though it was just one example in a longer context about the general decline of morality and the weakening of the nuclear family in America. I covered the Murphy Brown speech in The Forerunner, printing the whole speech for people so they could read the context of what Quayle actually said.
A similar occurrence relates to my friend Kathleen Crank who became subject to a slew of media ad hominems. Her offense was voicing her opposition to same-sex marriage as a government subsidized lifestyle. She made her remarks at a public hearing before a Senate panel in Maryland. Kathleen, like most citizens of every state that has voted on it, favors a constitutional amendment to protect traditional marriage. While most took hold of her one word or one sentence judgment that homosexual marriage would be "devastating" to our culture, no one published the full context as to why she believes this.
If you Google, "Kathleen Crank" you can find dozens of news outlets and blogs who have commented on her remarks. But none have published the full text of her statement. It's not surprising. The liberal media wants to function as a fourth branch of government in promoting judicial activism and suppressing the most important democratic instrument of our nation, the ballot box.
Katherine Heerbrandt wrote a piece for the Frederick News Post called "Redefining Marriage Again" in which she falsely claims that Kathleen "didn't say" why she thinks homosexual marriage is devastating to western culture.
Here's Kathleen's letter to this writer and then the full text of her remarks below.
Hi Katherine,
Since my daughter is also named Katherine as was my grandmother, and I happen to be partial to that name, I thought I would respond to you directly. Your article reminds me of the telephone game, where one person says something and by the time it gets to the end it is virtually unrecognizable. First I am going to attach a full copy of my testimony before the Senate committee. In it you will see that I did in fact, state exactly who is devastated by the homosexual lifestyle, drawn from my personal life. I also discussed the global devastation of AIDS.
Also, it mentions my legal background. I am a lawyer though I have chosen to put my career on hold to raise my children. I have done quite a bit of research on this issue and I wonder how much you have done. The endless and empty rhetoric (such as yours) just keeps getting repeated over and over as though no one is really thinking. The facts are conveniently ignored. The sheer number of illogical arguments you made in your op-ed combined with the total inattention to small details like checking your facts should make you blush. I have also contacted your editor to complain about your false statement about my testimony.
Kathleen Crank
Here is the original testimony
Senate Bill 169: Contitutional Amendment to define marriage as between a man and a woman – Support
Mr. Chairman, Members of the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee:
Thank you for the opportunity to speak today. My name is Kathleen Crank, and I was reluctant to testify today because I am not a president of an organization or a pastor of a church. I have a legal background but have been a stay at home wife, mother, and friend, for eleven years. I believe I represent that vast majority of ordinary American citizens and Marylanders as I stand before you today to defend my most deeply held values; those also shared by so many others.
As a friend and close family member I have much personal experience with those who are or were involoved in the homosexual lifestyle. I have shared the heartbreak and pain of those family members and friends, and their children who were abandoned by their spouses who wished to pursue a homosexual lifestyle. I have shared the pain of a friend left behind with no support money, and her and her child having to fight deadly disease in their bodies as a result of their spouses homosexual involvements. I have shared the pain of another friend whose ex-husband is actively seeking to encourage a homosexual lifestyle as an option for their young preteen daughter. I have seen the difficulties faced by my nephew as he seeks to grow up into a man since his father left and since has had many multiple male partners. I have sat beside the bed of a female friend as she was dying a horrible death of AIDS. My experience as a friend and family member to those currently involved in the homosexual lifestyle and those who come out of it is that it is personally devastating, causes devastation to others , and on a global scale is completely devastating and a huge public health risk. AIDS is now ravaging more and more people and leaving an entire continent (Africa) full of orphans. Drugs to treat AIDS are unbelievably expensive and the cost of these treatments will untimately be borne by the taxpayers. In Europe, legalizing same-sex marriage has caused devastation and a decline in marriage overall. In every other area we seek to prevent unhealthy behaviour, not bless it with the force of the law.
Redefining marriage is an activity undertaken to the peril of our civilized society. This cultural experiment undertaken in Europe has been a dismal failure. I encourage each of you to look at the research and ask yourself if we really want the cultural chaos they are experiencing.
Marriage is an institution that goes back to the beginning of the human race. In every culture, in every religion, all throughout the world and down through the many centuries, marriage and families have provided stability for men and women, cultures and nations. Marriage between a man and a woman should be blessed, recognized, and upheld as that which best nurtures the next generation and provides stability in our society. As a society and a people, we must encourage strong marriages and families as the very glue that makes our nation and state great. Children need both fathers and mothers.
America is blessed to be a nation in which we have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. I urge passage of this Constitutional Amendment so that the people can decide. This issue is far too important to be decided by such a small number of people in this state legislature.

Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism (DVD)
Download the Free Study Guide!
Just what is Calvinism?
Does this teaching make man a deterministic robot and God the author of sin? What about free will? If the church accepts Calvinism, won't evangelism be stifled, perhaps even extinguished? How can we balance God's sovereignty and man's responsibility? What are the differences between historic Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism? Why did men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Edwards and a host of renowned Protestant evangelists embrace the teaching of predestination and election and deny free will theology?
This is the first video documentary that answers these and other related questions. Hosted by Eric Holmberg, this fascinating three-part, four-hour presentation is detailed enough so as to not gloss over the controversy. At the same time, it is broken up into ten "Sunday-school-sized" sections to make the rich content manageable and accessible for the average viewer.

The Beast of Revelation: Identified (DVD)
Who is the dreaded beast of Revelation?
Now at last, a plausible candidate for this personification of evil incarnate has been identified (or re-identified). Ken Gentry's insightful analysis of scripture and history is likely to revolutionize your understanding of the book of Revelation — and even more importantly — amplify and energize your entire Christian worldview!
Historical footage and other graphics are used to illustrate the lecture Dr. Gentry presented at the 1999 Ligonier Conference in Orlando, Florida. It is followed by a one-hour question and answer session addressing the key concerns and objections typically raised in response to his position. This presentation also features an introduction that touches on not only the confusion and controversy surrounding this issue — but just why it may well be one of the most significant issues facing the Church today.
Ideal for group meetings, personal Bible study — for anyone who wants to understand the historical context of John's famous letter "… to the seven churches which are in Asia." (Revelation 1:4)

Massacre of Innocence (DVD)
Exposing The Occult Roots of Abortion
This presentation looks at the spiritual roots of abortion and exposes the myths surrounding child killing. Little known historical facts about abortion and how they relate to modern feminism are presented logically and accurately. Has been effective in converting many to a pro-life position.
Massacre of Innocence goes where no pro-life presentation has gone before in "tearing the lid off abortion" to reveal the spiritual realities we must battle if we will bring an end to this crime. The presentation is absorbing, fast-paced, informative and incredibly devastating to any attempt to justify abortion.
"… an extraordinary statement … a powerfully articulate presentation about what abortion really means, and why a great and moral nation like the United States must not allow the slaughter to continue."

Why Creeds and Confessions? (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 219 pages
Foundations in Biblical Orthodoxy
Driving down a country road sometime, you might see a church with a sign proudly proclaiming: "No book but the Bible — No creed but Christ." The problem with this statement is that the word creed (from the Latin: credo) simply means "belief." All Christians have beliefs, regardless of whether they are written.
Yet a single book containing the actual texts of the most important creeds of the early Church will not often be found. Out of the multitude of works on the evangelical Christian book market today, those dealing with the creeds of the Church are scarce.
Why Creeds and Confessions? provides a foundation of biblical orthodoxy as a defense against the false and truly heretical doctrines advanced by the spirit of this age.

Two wins for Brandrick Architects
Designer Shannon Johns and architect Gerard Brandrick are thrilled with their Building Designers Association Victoria design awards.REBECCA KERR July 30, 2014 3:01am
Architect Gerard Brandrick and designer Shannon Johns were happily surprised to win two awards at Building Designers Association Victoria design awards in Melbourne on Saturday.
Brandrick Architects took out the award for Non Residential Design, New Project and Excellence in the Use of Glass for their work on the Peat Partners building on Percy St, Echuca.
The pair had no idea how many other entries they were up against and had not expected to win.
''We weren't going to go until the last couple of weeks and then we thought we better go. It was worth going,'' Mr Johns said.
The building itself is in a prominent place, opposite the Echuca-Moama bridge and offers a contemporary contrast while complementing its surroundings.
The east side of the building is predominately glass to allow for excess natural light during the day and views of the Murray River.
The building has a two glass layers to allow for practical energy consumption; the outer glass skin which shields the inner glazed windows from excessive heat.
''The building has a full footprint of 600 square metres, they were in an office space of 260 square metres.
''So they've gone up to 600 square metres and the energy consumption is pretty much the same,'' Mr Johns said.
Mr Johns said they worked closely with the clients to create an open space and encourage connectedness between the two levels.
The project took about six months of planning and eight months for the build.
The Ecotecture Design Group were also nominated for the Non Residential Design, New Project category on the night for the Moama Physiotherapy and Pilates Studio, Meninya St, Moama.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful
The only set you will see on SACD - and pretty good,
This review is from: Complete Symphonies (Audio CD)
After recently hearing Mravinsky's searing account of the Symphonie Liurgique (no 3) on the staggering 'Art of Mravinsky' set , I decided to find a more modern recording of this piece that felt a bit less like having knitting needles stuck in my ears.
Honegger's five symphonies span his musical career, from the early no 1 (1929/30) to his late number 5 (1950). They are rather uneven in quality. The best known is no 2, for strings and obligato trumpet, immortalised by a very fine performance from Karajan and the BPO, and the Liturgique, which quite a few conductors have tackled over the years. But I find the formative no 1 and lightweight no 4 (Delights of Basle) difficult to get to grips with; it seems that the much darker and despair-filled 2,3 and 5 contain by far his most gripping music! Something about the devil having the best tunes...?
The Lubeck Orchestra is not a top-end German band, of course, but - on the evidence of these two discs - it's a decent enough municipal grouping. Its playing is consistent, professional and idiomatic, if not spectacular. More than good enough.
And then we come to the sound. Being my first Musicaphon recording, I had no idea what to expect. To my delight, the sound is very good indeed - and very consistent over the recording period of 2007-2010. In fact, the sound puts some big-name labels to shame. It's very clean, detailed, transparent and natural, with excellent stage depth, focus and air. The acoustic of the Kongresshalle sounds simply gorgeous.
If you already like or wish to further explore Honegger's sound world, this set hits the spot. Of course, you could alternatively pick and choose from the five Musicaphon recordings which couple these symphonies individually with Richard Strauss works. But the current set is more economical, of course.

Moses in America,
This review is from: America's Prophet: Moses and the American Story (Hardcover)
Mr. Feiler develops a Mosaic narrative for America and starts with what he claims is the First Thanksgiving in North America instead of New England. Research has revealed that St. Augustine, the nation's oldest city, was the site of the nation's first Thanksgiving. Be that as it may the author continues his travels to historic sites weaving the importance to the founding and continued transformation of the U.S.A. was influenced by the story of Moses.
As the author tours historic sites he finds relevant ties to support his theory of Moses and how this prophet works into the very fabric of America, our country's history and it's future. As referenced above Mr. Feiler jumps to the Puritans to start his memoir of his travels with Thanksgiving and the Passover and brings us through important turning points in history to the present day.
The writing though a bit verbose is interesting and recounts history from those who live in the area the events took place and the historical records and later in the book the author is able to interview some who were actually in some way involved with the events in history he speaks of like the civil Rights Movements of the 1960's. And he follows a few steps of the underground railroad but gets the reason for the Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation wrong but with good intention and probably what he was taught. The Proclamation was a necessary measure designed to deprive the Confederacy of slave labor, bring additional men into the Union Army and mainly to stop England from supporting the Confederacy.
The Emancipation Proclamation actually did not free any slaves for the Southern States did not recognize the authority of President Lincoln to govern their affairs and in the North, it was beyond the powers of the President to actually abolish slavery in any state. But it does help in Mr. Feiler's narrative as President Lincoln as the Moses of the time and takes us another step away from history.
But the author's narrative of the underground railroad is very interesting as is the symbolism he shows attached to the Liberty Bell and the Statue of Liberty and how the American People made these symbols of Liberty that are still strong to this day the world over. The famous and brave people the author picks out to tie their story into his theory are important and interesting. Some include Thomas Paine, George Washington, Harriet Tubman, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Abraham Lincoln, C.B DeMille, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Ronald Reagan,George W. Bush and others. The analogy of Moses even made it's way into comics such as Superman.
Of course the author relates his own families Passover celebration with us and how he will share the Exodus story with is children when they ask. His answer is a good one and so is the summation of his book. America is the promise land for many but more important is the legacy of hope for a better tomorrow. It is the author belief and hope that Moses will continue to inspire new generations to renew the story of freedom.
