Durand's Second Letter
Durand and Oliphant engaged in a "tit-for-tat" of sorts over whether or not to accept Webster's definition of terms; Durand specifically stated that at times he would not accept Webster's definitions, while Oliphant protested that, unless the two men accepted common meanings for words any meaningful dialogue could not occur.
In a similar note Durand repeatedly attempted to teach that conditionality was the rule in the Old Testament covenant between God and His people, but that the New Testament covenant eliminated all forms of conditionality relative to a regenerate elect person's discipleship, preferring the idea that all acts of faith and obedience are as divinely predestinated and irresistibly caused by God as our regeneration. Oliphant countered with the observation that unless some element of conscious and voluntariness in the believer's will exists in acts of obedience, there is no moral basis on which to assess the conduct. A planet orbiting according to the laws of interplanetary gravity does not involve a moral issue.
In his second letter Durand argues from three passages against any form of conditionality on the part of the regenerate elect person's acts of discipleship.
First. "If a man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." Here there is nothing promised to a man if he will come after Jesus, as though that coming were a work of his own, decided upon by his own will, and to be rewarded by some favor from the Lord. But the "if" supposes a man to have the will or desire to come after Jesus; then he is told in what way alone he can come; not by the exercise of any will power of his own, but by denying himself, denying his own will, and by taking up his cross; by crucifying his flesh and fleshly mind, and following Jesus.
Here Durand resorts to the "straw man" logical fallacy in addition to rejecting the "Webster" meaning of "If." At no time in his writings that I have discovered did Oliphant ever assert that acts of faith and discipleship were wholly of the believer apart from the effects made by God in regeneration or of the leadership (as opposed to robotic orchestration) of the Holy Spirit and the teaching of Scripture. Rather he asserts that obedience grows out of the regenerated and divinely altered individual's conscious and voluntary choices to follow the moral influence of that regenerate nature in obedience to God.
It appears from several of Durand's points in this and other letters that he in some way diminished the effects of regeneration. Did he embrace the logic that would later surface in the "hollow log" error, denying that the Holy Spirit makes any permanent moral change in the individual at regeneration? His (for an absolute predestinarian) predictable dichotomy of the individual's conduct "…when left to ourselves…" versus his description of the regenerate elect when under the influence of the Holy Spirit logically builds on the idea that regeneration makes no moral moral change; and whatever spiritual change that occurs is limited to some type of spiritual programming by which the regenerate person is compelled to receive and perform whatever thoughts, words or deeds God causatively supplies—so far as conscience and will are concerned in the individual—that total depravity is as much a reality for the regenerate elect as for the unregenerate non-elect.
Durand's second passage is as follows:
Second. Peter says, "For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile;" I Peter, iii, 10. There is no conditional work proposed in this text by the word "if," nor any reward offered. The "if" supposes a man to have already the love of God in his heart, and the will or desire to enjoy that holy life which no one can see in himself, and to see the good days of the Son of man. The apostle tells such a one of that same self-denial which the Savior said was necessary in order that a man should come after him, and in which alone the power and blessedness of divine life are experienced in this mortal state. "Everyone who knoweth the plague of his own heart," knows that in this he "can not do the things that he would." but will still find that evil is present with him, and, like David, must cry unto God to "set a watch before his mouth, and keep the door of his lips;" (Ps., cxli, 3,) or evil and guile will continually issue from them.
Durand repeatedly, as in this quote, equates the regenerate elect person's ability to perform acts of obedience acceptable to God apart from direct divine influence as powerless as for an unregenerate person to perform spiritual acts of obedience. In simple terms, your ability to please God apart from divine predestination, even as a regenerate elect, is as vain as for an unregenerate to attempt such acts. This conclusion flies in the face of multiple passages that distinctly affirm, and at times even describe, the moral and spiritual abilities imputed to us at regeneration.
Durand's third passage:
Third. "Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." This presents no condition to be performed, but shows us one who longs for the water of that river which flows from the throne of God and the Lamb the promises and grace and salvation of God. This is the one who thirsts after righteousness. He sees that every blessing represented by the water of that river of life flows alone from the power of God, without the least possible help from man.
In these last two passages Durand categorically rejects the presence of any form of "conditionality," despite the fact that one passage builds its promises on the "will" to love life and see good, and the other passage builds the invitation to take the water of life on the believer's "will." Again in this last quote Durand attempts to equate the regenerate elect person's ability to obey God with the unregenerate person's all-encompassing lack of ability or inclination. It appears from Durand's repeated comparison of a regenerate elect "left to himself' with an unregenerate non-elect that he sees no moral or spiritual difference between the two. A regenerate elect "left to himself" is no way different from an unregenerate non-elect. This idea is preposterous!
Following his comments on these three passages, Durand delves into a rather convoluted discussion of the will, resorting at one point to implying that even Jesus had both a divine will and a corrupt human will. He clearly sees no integration of God's grace and its influence on the regenerate person unless the Holy Spirit—hollow log style—temporarily indwells and thus moves the individual to acts of obedience.
Durand then develops the idea that, since God on occasion made providential use of wicked individuals and nations, this fact supported his thesis. In his response Oliphant will distinguish between God's select use of wicked individuals and nations from their personal acts of sin. The fact that God intervened in their sinful life and used them for specific purposes in no way made God the cause of their sins. Indirectly by his even raising this point it appears that Durand, while saying that he rejects the idea that God causes sin, doesn't especially object to it.
Durand closes his second letter with a paragraph that attempts to transform the Biblical analogy of regenerate elect being compared with stones and fruitful trees into an allegory, making much of the idea that a stone or a tree do not possess a conscious will to be or to do anything. In response Oliphant will reject the allegorical view of these passages in favor of specific analogical comparisons; a stone is solid and enduring, and a tree possesses a nature to bring forth fruit to the benefit of its owner.
Oliphant's Answer to Durand's Second Letter
Oliphant begins this letter with a couple of paragraphs that drive at the heart of the theological differences between the two men.
Many texts speak of God's people as doing good works. Or perhaps you quote them to show that man's obedience is independent of the will, which I understand to be your position. But if this is your design, then you set aside the very idea of obedience, as no such thing as obedience or obedience could exist independent of the will. You object to the word "invite," because it suggests some dependency on the will. You may well object to the words "obedience," "duty," "faithfulness," etc. You speak of God leading people, and the word "lead" or "leading" would be rejected on the same principle.
Paul, in the words you quote, is speaking of the complex nature of the Christian. This warfare should not be so explained as to excuse the Christian for his sins. Paul said Peter was to be blamed; and this is the experience of the Christian. This warfare should not be so explained as to set aside the moral nature of man. Man is a moral being, and God's government of man is a moral government, and these texts should be explained in harmony with this truth; and, when so explained, they are a beautiful description of the experience of the people of God. You say, "The sun by his presence makes the day; by his absence he maketh darkness and it is night," and refer to Ps., civ, 20. You represent the sun as being the cause of night as well as day, and I suppose you design by this to infer that God has the same connection with sin that he has with holiness. John declares that God is light and in him is no darkness at all. If there is no darkness (the emblem of sin) in God, no sin could emanate from him; and the most serious objection I can have to your views, is, the failure to make a clear distinction between God's relation to sin, on one hand, and his relation to holiness, on the other. You say, as quoted above, "the sun makes the day, and he maketh darkness." But this gives a wrong impression. The psalmist does not attribute darkness to the sun, His words are, "Thou makest darkness and it night." The sun remains the same all the time---an unvarying source of light---and the earth in its daily revolution turns a way from that light, and so, logically speaking, it is the earth that makes the darkness. If we study the attributes and nature of the sun, we are prepared to say that the gloom of midnight is not of the sun. And so, Christian experience, with one mind, traces sin and iniquity to some other source than God. God made "the greater light," the sun, to rule the day and to DIVIDE the light from the darkness, and God saw that it was good.
As he often does in his writings, Oliphant makes a solid case for God's moral government over His elect, as well as the companion point that a regenerate elect person is a MORAL being.
Oliphant also challenges Durand's interpretation of God's being compared to the sun, making the sun—and thus God—equally responsible for both day and night; and in the case of his application, making God equally responsible for both righteousness and sin.
No brother that I know of believes for a moment that chance and uncertainty rule even in sinful events, yet we can not accept any theory or explanation that fails to make a clear distinction in the purposes of God toward right and wrong. We can not believe that sinful things receive the same recognition, the same endorsement, or minister to God's pleasure equally with that which is holy and good. We must reject the theory and the teaching that wicked men do the will of God as the obedient saint does.
Here Oliphant clearly distinguishes God's general sovereignty from the errant idea that God in some mystical way causes sin, yet doesn't cause it. Is God capable of controlling rain, wind, and the elements? Of course He is; does this fact leap over logic to the inevitable conclusion that God then "…controls every drop of rain and ever grain of sand that blows in the Sahara Desert wind…"? No indeed. The Biblical principle of God's sovereignty means that God has a right—and the power or ability—to step into any situation and alter the natural outcome as He pleases. However, the Biblical principle of divine sovereignty also affirms that God in no way or in anything that He does ever violates His righteous nature. Thus, regardless of Durand's protests that he does not believe that God causes (predestinated) sin, his analogies often lead one specifically to that conclusion; for example, his assertion that the sun is no less responsible for the night than for the day. Sadly often, advocates of Durand's view of predestination commit the "parts to the whole" logical fallacy when reasoning on this point. They point to occasions in Scripture where God unquestionably intervened and use specific occasional divine intervention to claim—fully in keeping with the "parts to the whole" fallacy—that God cannot be sovereign if He does not control all events. They reach this conclusion despite several clear Biblical assertions that categorically deny that God had anything to do with certain actions or events (7:9-10; 7:31; 19:5; 32:35; 1 Corinthians 14:33; and 1 John 2:16-17 to name just a few). When specifically challenged regarding the origin of sin and the charge, brought onto them by their own choice of terms and multiple interpretations of Scriptures that leave the indication that they believe God causes sin, they often deny that they believe this idea. However, their own logic turns against them here. If God must cause or microscopically control every thing without exception, or He is not sovereign, they must believe that in the matter of sin and its effects He is not sovereign. Thus we see the strange and inconsistent turning of aberrant beliefs built on faulty logic and on equally faulty interpretations of Scripture.
Further in the same paragraph Oliphant again goes to the theological heart of the differences between Durand and himself.
Now, if every man does the will of God, how can the ways of any man be displeasing to him? You would refuse the terms "free will" and "free moral agency" because they have been so long used with an unscriptural meaning, and say, "The Bible terms will do for us;" but you do not apply this rule to the expression, "The absolute predestination of all things," and which seem to the most of our brethren to teach a very objectionable sentiment. I still complain of your position because it strips man of all WILL, or CHOICE, in his conduct as truly as if he were a tree or a stone. In your reply you say, "That is true," admitting that men are as destitute of will in their actions as a tree, because the prophet uses the figure, "Trees of righteousness", and you accept the comparison of a Christian to a stone without any will, because Peter speaks of them as "lively stones." This, it seems to me, is begging the question, for both stones and trees have various qualities, and the inspired writers do not mean that God's people are as stones in every respect, for that would leave them, as your argument seems to do, trees and stones sure enough. Stones are firm and durable, and they may be hewn and polished for the building---in which sense, no doubt, Peter used it. But a stone can not love; it can not obey or praise God; it can not say, "Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul." When you divest man of all choice or will in his conduct, and put him on the level of a tree or a stone, you clearly deny that God exercises moral government over him, and he becomes as inert as the idol that must be carried about. The figure on the chessboard exercises no choice as to its movement or the space it occupies, and merits neither praise nor blame as to the result of the game. But not so with the believer. Paul says, "Therefore as ye abound in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also." Speaking of their sorrow and repentance, caused by his exhortation, he says, "What carefulness is wrought in you; yea, what clearing of yourselves; yea, what indignation; yea, what vehement desire; yea, what zeal," etc. Paul does not say that God will make his children perfect, as you quote, but he earnestly invokes God TO DO SO! I must kindly protest against your dropping the words, "In every good work," from Paul's words. It would be unimportant had you not dared anyone to say that the sins of David and Jonah and Peter were contrary to God's will! Paul petitioned, or desired that God would "Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight." But you would have us understand that God's will is as effectually wrought in their disobedience as in their obedience, and that "From him is their fruit found." Did the Lord say this of Ephraim when he had provoked the Lord to bitter anger by his idolatry, and when he fell by his iniquity? It was not when Ephraim offended in Baal, but when he spoke tremblingly, saying, "What have I to do any more with idols?"
For men who both claim to hold to historical Biblical truth, Oliphant raises a highly significant point in the following observation.
It is a cardinal doctrine of Primitive Baptists that regeneration is independent of the will of man, but you are the first brother I have known to frankly admit that the Lord's people are stripped of this will as fully as the tree in bearing fruit. You say, "That is true," and that they are trees of righteousness. You quote from scriptures widely separated and connect them with comments that do not make the meaning clear: For instance, where it says in Isa., lxi, 3. "That they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified." This beautiful language, no doubt, portrays the conquest of the gospel in proclaiming liberty to the captives, and not to the fruit they shall bear; though in that also God is glorified, but when we turn to John we find Jesus saying, the Father is glorified in the fruit they bear: we find he also says that every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it that it may bring forth more fruit: evidently meaning that he prepares it by trial or discipline, or in some way, that it may bring forth more fruit. And he tells them in this same sweet discourse, "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love." And he continues to fill heart and soul with promises good: "Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you;" and for this fidelity to him they should have the honor of being hated by a graceless world. Surely these blest disciples had within them something responsive to his teaching, something to catch the meaning of what he said and consider its import. If not, they were but stony-ground hearers, and there would be no fruit to glorify the Savior. Not for a moment would I say that the branch can bear fruit of itself, nor the believer, except he abide in Jesus; but it is mutual. "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you;" and, as he told the believing Jews in the temple, "If ye continue in my words, then are ye my disciples indeed." When Jesus says, "If any man serve me, him will my Father honor," and when Paul says that God will render "to every man that worketh good, glory and honor and peace," are we not taught that those who have received the renewing of the. Holy Ghost have all intelligent comprehension of what is taught? No such language is ever addressed to an unthinking tree, that it may bear fruit. So the difference between a tree and a believer is very great. You refuse the word "invite" in the gospel, perhaps for the reason that it suggests some dependence on or connection with the will; but you use the words "obey," "will," and "duty," and quote the words, "Come unto me," and "Take my yoke upon you and learn of me," all of which words denote some dependence upon the will. The response of the obedient child is not that of blind matter, but of a willing mind.
Oliphant's comment, "…you are the first brother I have known to frankly admit that the Lord's people are stripped of this will as fully as the tree in bearing fruit….." At least from Oliphant's historical knowledge, Durand is the guilty party of introducing a "new doctrine," not Oliphant. In his autobiography Elder Oliphant indicates that his great grandfather William Oliphant was a Primitive Baptist at least as of 1815. Thus Elder Oliphant could claim familial history among the Primitive Baptists for almost a hundred years prior to his letters of exchange with Elder Durand.
Apparently, then as now, folks occasionally attempted to split the hairs between the prepositions "in" and "for." Oliphant challenges the hair-split with convincing Biblical points.
You insist that "The reward is not in something obtained BY the obedient work, but IN the work," while I think it is both. I John, iii, 22 says, "Whatsoever we ask we receive of him, BECAUSE we keep his commandments and do those things that are pleasing in his sight;" and again, he says, "For the Father himself loveth you, BECAUSE ye have loved me and have believed that I came out from God." The woman who poured the precious ointment upon Jesus was happy in the doing of it---but that was not all. Jesus said it was a good work and it should be told for a memorial of her wherever the gospel was preached in the whole world. By that act her memory was to be preserved forever. The aged widow rejoiced in ministering to the saints---but this also entitled her to special benefits in the church. The servant that doubled his lord's money enjoyed the service---but that was not the end: his lord said unto him, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joy of thy lord." Thus our Savior made an illustration of his kingdom.
In the next paragraph (cited below) Oliphant drives to the heart of the question of conditionality in acts of obedience.
The issue is not whether ALL our happiness is conditionally enjoyed, but whether ANY of it is. If one moment of peace and joy has ever come to us as the result of obedience, it shows that in that case it was conditional. If obedience is necessary to the attainment of any end, then that end could not otherwise be obtained. You know we are to maintain good works "for necessary uses," and as being good and profitable unto men. We know that good works are not necessary in the matter of atonement: but is an obedient life worth anything to God or man? If we hold that a faithful life merits nothing, we must mean that it is worth nothing, and I can not see how it serves any necessary uses, or how it is profitable unto men. If obedience answers any good end, that end is the reward we should aim at. If it serves no good end, why should we seek it or try to induce others to do so? If the Lord's attitude and grace in obedience and regeneration are precisely alike, why are men exhorted hundreds of times in the Bible to obey, but never once called on to be born again? This fact ought to convince us that there is an important distinction in the matter of obedience and regeneration.
In response to Durand's repeated insistence that conditionality was legitimate only under the Old Testament covenant Oliphant quoted both Old and New Testament passages and countered Durand's allegation with specific New Testament language.
If we object to old covenant language and forms of expression, we shall lose much wholesome counsel contained in the New Testament. In his last address, just before death, Moses says, "If thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth; and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God." Here is Old Testament language, and it seems like an echo of those words when the Savior himself says, "If any man serve me, him will my Father honor." And in another place be says, "My Father will love him, and we will come unto him and make our abode with him." The word "commandments" is used in both places, and wonderful blessings come upon and overtake the obedient child in both cases. Peter's address has the same spirit: "And besides this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue," and he names many other things to be added. He is not told to obtain faith, but he is told to add these things to it: and if these things abound in them they shall neither be barren nor unfruitful: but he that lacketh these things hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins; and he adds, "Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure, for if ye do these things ye shall never fall." Peter thinks "It meet to stir you up by putting you in remembrance." Such admonitions are never given to a tree that it may bear fruit. It is needless to talk of different forms of speech, when they are so much alike. The Hebrew Letter is almost entirely devoted to showing wherein the Old Covenant is but a shadow of the New. The blood of the Old could not put away sin, but Christ by his shed blood obtained eternal redemption for his people. In this the difference is world-wide, for it refers to the eternal world; but in time it has pleased the Lord to connect blessings and chastisements with both dispensations.
Oliphant directly confronts Durand's allegation that God's use of wicked men for His righteous purposes as supposedly supporting his view of absolute predestination.
There is no issue as to God's sovereignty, his universal control and just government of men. This meets our hearty approbation, but when you have shown and we have shown that God controls, governs and overrules evil men so as to carry out his divine purposes, we are as far away from the heart of the controversy as we were at first. This mode of reasoning does not make their wickedness the Lord's. When some deny predestination altogether, and some interpret it to mean that God ordains beforehand by an unlimited decree all the wickedness that men do, we turn from both as the right-hand and left-hand departures, to the voice behind us that says, "This is the way, walk ye in it." Your text from David that the Lord uses the wicked as his sword, or his hand, and the cases of Pharaoh and Ahab and Judas and Peter, and, in fact every text in the Bible that speaks of God's conduct toward wicked men---not one of them, nor all of them together, attribute the corruption of nature or man's wickedness to the Lord. There is a voice within every regenerated heart that speaks on this subject with no uncertain sound. The most unlearned of all the saints can understand it---high and low, wise and simple---they need no learned man to explain it; and that voice traces all our sins to some other source than God. You may sweep the stars from the firmament, cover the sun with the pall of midnight---but you will never obliterate that voice from the quickened soul! That God governs with certainty the myriads of wicked men that dwell upon the earth, does not warrant, but forbids, the use of that modern expression, "Unlimited predestination." This expression can not be interpreted by any known system of ethics, or by the utmost stretch of human ingenuity in any other way than to say it is the first and efficient cause of sin. I call your attention kindly to this, and ask you to think of it.
In this section Oliphant demonstrates admirable balance, avoiding both extreme views of Biblical predestination, the one held by Durand that forced it to include more than Scripture invests in it, and the opposite Arminian view that wholly rejects it altogether or reduces it to non-causative divine omniscience. Here Oliphant gently nudges Durand to return to the real issues of theological difference between them and effectively to refrain from multiplying irrelevant "straw man" fallacious issues and arguments.

Miami Dolphins: Were starters just off, or lacking talent?
The biggest challenge we usually have at this point in the NFL season is to avoid the knee jerk reactions to what happened during exhibition games.
The Miami Dolphins might have beaten the Atlanta Falcons 28-23 Friday night, but if we're honest we'll admit the starters had very little to do with the victory. (See above video report from Atlanta that includes post-game Matt Moore and Chad Henne interviews).
The only starter who really did something impressive was Brian Hartline, who got behind a busted coverage for a 44-yard touchdown grab. Chad Henne made a good throw on the pass. However, it should be pointed out that big play came against Atlanta's second team defense.
What we really saw from the starting unit was….
A offensive line that needs plenty of work, and let us not say Jake Long's absence was the unit's problem.
A defensive line which got gashed by the Falcons, which rushed for 104 yards (55 of which came in the first quarter).
A secondary that needs to settle in. Chris Clemons and Reshad Jones were rotating in and out of the game and there were plenty of instances where both (mostly Jones) took bad angles and had missteps.
Henne didn't exactly impress, but he did bounce back after a horrible start, where his teammates didn't help.
None of the running backs stood out as runners. The Dolphins ran the ball 27 times and gained 63 yards. That's a 2.3 yards per carry average, and it was assisted by Henne's 10-yard scramble, which was the longest of the game.
On the positive side, plenty of youngsters flashed.
Jimmy Wilson, the seventh-round draft pick from Montana, continued his knack for making plays by forcing a fumble on a sack. As you see, this dude is a playmaker. He's already on the 53. I'm curious to see what role the Dolphins carve out for him.
A.J. Edds had a productive night in his first NFL game, contributing six tackles and a sack.
Roberto Wallace played like a knockoff version of Brandon Marshall. This young receiver has the body and speed, but needs to learn the little tricks to get open. They'll come in time, but I hope you see why the Dolphins plan to continue investing in the receivers they have.
Phillip Livas flashed as a returner, producing a touchdown on that 75-yard punt return. That was his specialty at Louisiana Tech, but please remember it's early, and this is a marathon not a sprint. Does anyone remember a little receiver named Chris Williams, who everyone got excited about two years ago. Livas will need to keep it sexy to stick on the 53-man roster.
With all that said, the Dolphins have PLENTY of things to work on, and PLENTY of touch decisions to make.
Austin Spitler suffered a foot injury and the Dolphins might need to find another inside linebacker. Does that mean they give Channing Crowder a call if Spitler's sidelined for an extended time?
Matt Moore flashed a little, showing some of that ability Chad Pennington had to move the second-team offense downfield. Does he get an extended look in the next exhibition game, and could he possibly get some time with the starters?
When will the Dolphins settle in on a free safety, allowing the unit to gel?
The Dolphins have practice tonight so hopefully we'll get some of these questions addressed.
Stay tuned.

does my PD account log out if I'm AFK for like more than 15 minutes?
I don't know which is funnier, installing a cookie or buckwheat taking computer science
jurassic park saurus rex
all my years on the internet and i still really dont know basic shit like wtf cookies are and what they do, i've just heard the word a lot
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
Cookies are basically little data packets accessed by your browser to a server you've loaded and can do things like save your login fields and remember data you've inputted previously. It's just a text file that is sent everytime you load a page on a website and it can be stored for later use and be used to recognize individual users of site and keep their personalization options saved. I'm probably simplifying it, but it's just what I've gathered from random people asking around the web over the years.
You don't... install them. You can usually opt out of using them on websites and I think this is what kirby meant .~.
If you can go onto PD without having to login everytime, you are using a cookie.
And pichubro wins the cookies.
Just do it.
OK! so this is how it works when you open firefox/chrome to visit PD forums:
1. the search:
IP magic happens here. Your computer sends a message to the entire world asking "who knows where 'pokedream.com/forums' is at?" and host servers around the world will respond with "I don't" until one of them says "I do!"
to save time, a system was created and we have 13 Root name servers that the whole entire internet communicates with (they're replicated to save time), but they are your main servers that your ISP DNS servers check with.
2. the trusted connection:
once connected, you have to authenticate with the server hosting pokedream. this gets complicated with certificates.
ok, story, a company created the certificate system and now monopolized on it. they are the main people. microsoft trust their certs. so when going to a website and asks to you to trust their certificates, it's pretty much your computer saying since microsoft trusts them, i'll trust them too! :]
pokedream is on a server that trust someone else that someone else of someone else trust microsoft, so because of that, your computer accepts to trust that server.
All this is happening when your web page is fucking loading, all withing milliseconds, this information is traveling across the Atlantic and pacific ocean... so deal with the load ;]
3.Now that a connection is made, you session will begin, your computer will send cookies to the hosting server about your personal info and other whatnot stuff.
the hosting server will save them (if you click, keep me logged in, the time stamp expiration will be changed to reflect that) and it will keep you logged in.
if you tell your browser not to save the cookies, the hosting server will automatically drop them and end your session. when the hosting server does that varies to each server and how they were set up to handle sessions. PD forums seems to be every 10-15 minutes. some do it as quickly as every 5 minutes. :\
4.Normally, when you close your browser, your cookies won't be saved. but Firefox and chrome ask if you want to save your cookies (which a cached in memory for future use) and the hosting server drops your cookies.
when you reconnect, your web browser will "remind" the hosting server that you're suppose to be automatically logged in... so it will. your web browser will send ALL the cookies saved on your web browser to the hosting server until it recognizes any that pertain to it... making loading longer.
this is also dangerous because malicious users like to look through those cookies and see what other websites you've been visiting and if you set automatic logins. that's why many bank websites don't have the auto login feature anymore and they also delete all cookies when you end your session.
Leo 3DS friend Code: 0344 - 9299 - 0936
cookies aren't a text file... they're bits of date (usually in hex form); where the values represent you, where you've navigated in the site, or what you have in your shopping cart. but pretty much what pichubro said.
cookies just track who you are and what you're doing on the site... usually.
and there sent automatically. the server saves them for the time you're on a site.

Glenwood wrapped up its regular football season on Friday with a 35-0 victory over Winterset.
The win secured the Rams (6-3) the No. 2 seed in Wednesday's substate game against Denison. Kick-off is set for 7 p.m. at Ram Memorial Field. Glenwood last made the playoffs in 1994, winning its opening two games over Oskaloosa and Pella before falling in four overtimes 17-14 to Spencer in the semifinals that season.
On Friday, Glenwood overcame a slow start in muddy conditions to post its second shutout of the season and win its third straight game.
For the second straight season the Glenwood boys cross country team is headed to the Iowa State Cross Country Meet.
With a second place showing at Perry on Monday, after rain delayed Thursday's originally scheduled district race, the Rams are one of three district qualifiers who will race this Saturday at the Lakeside Municipal Golf Course in Fort Dodge.
Glenwood was the team runner up to district champion Boone. Dallas Center-Grimes was third. The top three teams at districts advance to state.
As a four-year letterman on the Wartburg College football team, Brian Albert rarely left the field.
Over his career he started nearly every game, 14 of them on both offense and defense, led the team in tackles three times and rushing once, played on every special team and even called the defenses in the huddle.
"I used to tell the coach coming off the field is more trouble than it's worth, just keep me in," Albert said.
The East Mills football team sealed up the No. 2 seed in Eight man, District 8 with a 58-0 victory at Hamburg on Friday.
But more importantly than that, said East Mills coach Andy Irwin, whose team had locked up its playoff status a week earlier, was the return of senior quarterback Jake Bolton. Bolton was limited to punting only in the previous three games while he nursed a right (throwing) shoulder injury. Bolton returned under center on Friday, played most of the first half, and completed 7-of-11 passes for 111 yards and three touchdowns.
Creston ended the Glenwood girls volleyball team's season on Monday in the first round of Class 3A Regionals 24-17, 15-25, 19-25, 19-25.
In the first game the Rams seemed to be picking up right where they left off in a three-game sweep of the Panthers on Oct. 8 when they won the first one 25-17.
Glenwood coach Kara Huisman thought her team moved the ball well and hit it well in the first game but had troubled sustaining that over the next three games.
The Fremont-Mills boys track team entered last Tuesday's Corner Conference Track Meet as the defending champions.
And the Knights left that way for the second straight year after winning nine events and placing second or third in five more. Fremont-Mills ran away from the competition with 136 teams points, 28 points better than runner-up Clarinda Academy.
The Glenwood boys track team earned 13 gold medals and four silvers to win the team title at the Red Oak Tiger Relays on Thursday.
The Rams racked up a season-high 216 team points to easily out distanced second place Clarinda (66) and third place Red Oak (53).
Ian Eflin took home four gold medals on the day winning individual golds in the high jump, 110-meters hurdles and 400-meter hurdles and running a leg of the Rams' shuttle hurdle relay.
The Glenwood girls golf team placed third at the Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln Tournament at Dodge Park Golf Course last Wednesday.
Konigsmark was extremely pleased with her team's performance.
"This is the best team score we have had all year," she said. "The girls are being competitive and have set their goals high."
Morgan Woodrum placed 10th overall for Glenwood. Teammates Charley Arno and Bobi Joe Rockwell were12th and 15th, respectively..
The Glenwod boys golf team squared placed seventh in a match up of the top teams in Western Iowa on Wednesday in Atlantic.
Kuemper Catholic was the team champion of the Atlantic Tournamanet with a final socre of 314. Atlantic was third with a 319. Glenwood finished with 341 strokes,
Justin Livingston of Winterset shot a 72 to garner top honors.
Jake Schoening led Glenwoood with a round of 82.
"A fantastic round for him," said Glenwood coach Steve Sylvester.
Glenwood 166,
Clarinda 162,
If Glenwood long distance runner Johnny Fuller has any questions about what it takes to win a gold medal at the state track meet, he need look no further than Ram assistant coach Todd Peverill.
Peverill knows a thing or two about state gold medals. As a gangly, long-haired senior at Waterloo East in 1979, Peverill blistered the Drake Stadium Track to a state-meet record of 4:13.65 in the 1,600-meters. It's a record that stands to this day.

ZF-6559: Encapsulating exceptions bad for developer
File: Zend/Auth/Adapter/DbTable.php Line: 412
Why do you catch an Exception and throw it with another message? I've spent an hour figuring out why "the supplied parameter (...) failed (...)". When I went deeper, I found out that it is PDOException that holds a message: "permission denied to relation (...)".
I think that exceptions in Zend Framework should be for developers and should provide maximum information about the state of an application.
Assigning to Ralph
Within ZF 1.10 the thrown exception contains the previous exception. To display it simply print the exception or call $exception->getPrevious()

I got Winston first. I was on vacation from work, camping. While I was camping a couple found a lost dog in the woods. I fell in love with the dog and told the couple if the dog wasn't in a home, Id take it. Good news, the owners found their baby that weekend! (This saddened me because I wanted the baby, but I was happy for it to be home with its owner.) I got home and started looking on Petfinder for my new pet. I was looking at several dogs, then a picture of Winston popped up. I knew he was meant to be for me. I had that feeling in my gut. I called the lady who had Winston. DRAMA! Winston was already being taken by another couple from the area. I was devastated. That was my first day back to work. The next day, I get a call from the lady ( while at work ) about Winston being still available. I quit my job and walked out to drive four hours to meet him (not knowing if I was going to be able to take him home.) I just had to do this. Yes, insane. I quit a job to go look at Winston. Winston has been with me for three years now (and I have a job I like much more) :-) ThenI got Reba Westie. She was thrown from a car window over in Illinois. I heard the news and immediately had to go get her to bring her home. She was unhealthy looking and matted, and the vet must have pulled 90 ticks off her. Both Winston and Reba are my fur kids. I love my babies!

|Vandals visit Montana
MOSCOW, Idaho – The Idaho men's basketball team is on the road again as it travels to face Montana on Dec. 11 in its first of three straight games against opponents from the Big Sky, the league the Vandals will rejoin in 2014-15. Idaho and Montana tip off at 6 p.m. (PT) in Montana's Dahlberg Arena.
The Vandals and Grizzlies will square off for the 180th time, with Idaho owning a 101-78 lead in the all-time series through the first 179 meetings. Idaho enters the game at 4-5 on the season after a heart-breaking loss to Washington State. The Grizzlies are 1-4, coming off three straight losses to San Francisco, Washington and Hawai`i. However, Montana's 1-4 record may be a little deceptive. All four of Montana's losses have been against teams with .500 or better records, and Montana's five opponents are a combined 27-18 (.600) on the season.
Idaho senior forward Stephen Madison leads the Vandals with 16.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Connor Hill's 13.2 points per game are second on the team and Glen Dean adds 12.1 points for the Vandals. Idaho's 73.6 free throw percentage on the season leads the Western Athletic Conference and ranks 62nd in NCAA Division I.
Montana is led by 19.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists from Kareem Jamar, who shoots 50.0 percent from the field and 39.3 percent from 3-point range. Keron Deshields adds 12.6 points per game for the Griz. The Griz have been dominated on the glass in their first five games with a -11.8 rebounding margin, which ranks 342nd out of 345 NCAA Division I schools.
The last time Idaho and Montana got together it was the Grizzlies taking a 66-63 win in Moscow a season ago. Montana shot 54 percent in the second half to erase Idaho's 34-30 halftime lead. Jamar scored a team-high 17 points for Montana and Madison led all scorers with 22 points for the Vandals.
Wednesday's game will be broadcast on the Vandal Radio Network and VandalXTRA. Live stats and a live video stream (subscription-based) will be available at www.GoGriz.com. The Vandals continue their road trip at Portland State on Dec. 14 and face Idaho State in Boise's CenturyLink Arena on Dec. 20.

Love at First Bite!
Experience for yourself our scrumptious Spirulina Crunchies - surely it'll be love at first bite. These unique granules of savory micro-algae are a truly delectable way to reap the amazing health benefits of one of Nature's purest, most concentrated, green superfoods. Our unique tasty Crunchies are radically different than traditional spirulina - most commonly available in an ultra-fine powder or pressed into tablets using a binding agent. In contrast, our grape-nuts-like pure Spirulina Crunchies are lip-smackable, easily eaten by the handful, and equally appetizing sprinkled on soups, salads, tossed into your favorite recipes, stirred into green juices, and infused into raw chocolates, etc. They taste absolutely delicious!
What Makes Spirulina Crunchies Different?
What is Spirulina?
Spirulina is truly one of Nature's richest Superfoods. It is a pure, natural, whole, nutrient dense, microscopic, edible, blue-green algae packed with complete and absorbable protein, chlorophyll, antioxidants and essential vitamins and minerals. It is a balanced whole food that contains over 100 synergistic nutrients that are easily assimilated. It is literally at the bottom of the food chain - a concentrated "nutrient soup" from which all life can be nourished. Spirulina is a power packed "green food" that has served as a significant food source of the Mayan and Aztec peoples (who were known to mix it with cacao - yum!) and Africans. Certainly one of the world's healthiest foods!
Health Benefits of Spirulina:
Dr. Oz, the renowned professor at Columbia University, and a regular guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show, recommends Spirulina as one of the most important anti-aging nutritional supplements. Spirulina plays an important role in slowing down the aging process through its antioxidant/anti-inflammatory effects. It is also a perfect source of protein, enhances immune system functioning, balances brain chemistry, and is a completely absorbable wholefood vitamin and mineral supplement. It satisfies hunger because it fulfills the body's nutritional and biochemical needs. And it is low in sodium, fat, starches and calories, so you won't gain weight! Optimize your vitality, endurance, strength and whole system health!
Concentrated Protein Source:
The highest concentrated source of protein! 60% vegetable protein. Easy to digest due to the lack of hard cellular walls.
Complete Protein Source
Contains all 8 essential amino acids in the proper ratios, and eighteen amino acids in total. 375% more protein than tofu. A gram of spirulina is 4 times more absorbable than a gram of meat.
Best Source of GLA
Gamma-linolenic acid. An anti-inflammatory essential fatty acid necessary for a healthy nervous system. Helps fight the inflammatory symptoms of arthritis. Makes hair and skin shiny, strong and soft.
Vast Spectrum of Antioxidants
Loaded with antioxidants like natural beta carotene, mixed carotenoids, zeaxanthin, chlorophyll, phycocyanin, vitamin B12, gamma linolenic acid (GLA), riboflavin, a host of other phytonutrients. Protect against harmful UV sunlight, pollution, and environmental stress. Protecting cells from free radical damage while enhancing immune system.
High in essential minerals and trace minerals. Easily assimilated by the body as the minerals are chelated with the amino acids. Iron: 2300% more iron than spinach. Delivers oxygen to cells throughout your body. Improves energy levels. Promotes good health during growth phases. Prevents anemia.
Beta Carotene
3900% more beta carotene than carrots. A source of Vitamin A that your body cannot produce on its own. Enhances immune system and healthy skin.
Vitamin K
An essential nutrient that must be obtained from sources outside the body. Improves bone density and aids in blood circulation.
300% more calcium than whole milk.
Chlorophyll (the green pigment)
Blood builder and purifier. Supports liver and kidney function to detoxify your blood. Chlorophyll is deeply cleansing and alkalizing. Protects from UV radiation at a cellular level. Phycocyanin (the blue pigment) Phycocyanin works like a magnet to help remove heavy metals and pollutants from your body. Induces production of more stem cells found in bone marrow.
Nucleic Acids
RNA and DNA
Responsible Nutrition
Spirulina is extremely easy to grow and takes less room per cubic centimeter than any other known crop, yielding an enormous amount of nutrition. Acre for acre, spirulina produces 20 times more protein than soy beans, 40 times more protein than corn and 400 times more protein than beef while requiring only 1/10 of the water needed for beef production. When we choose to nourish ourselves with "efficient" foods the environmental effect is even greater that driving a hybrid car! Make a real difference!
Spirulina is also an ideal food to feed a starving world. It has been used in Third World Countries to relieve hunger with great effectiveness because it is inexpensive to produce locally, nutritionally compact, and retains it freshness.
Pure Growing Conditions
Grown in northern Costa Rica, Spirulina Crunchies benefit from the ideal year-round climate and perfect growing conditions found few other places in the world. The spirulina cultivation pools are supplied from a deep well on the farm which offers pure alkaline water whose origin is the volcanic walls of "Rincon de ala Vieja," an active volcano that is in a period of relative calm. In this highly controlled cultivation system, all eight spirulina cultivation pools are covered "green house style" to keep dust and even rain from the pools. The pools are cleaned only with water and rinsed on a regular basis. Spirulina Crunchies are grown in the most pristine conditions achievable, in a carefully monitored system that contains less than 16,000 ppm of bacteria (up to 100,000 ppm of bacteria is permissible by most international spirulina standards). The farm and the surrounding areas are free of pesticides and other environmental contaminants. No artificial chemicals, preservatives or additives are used at any time in the production process.
Beyond Certified Organic
Spirulina Crunchies™ are pesticide and herbicide free, are grown naturally, do not contain any genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and are never processed with any synthetic chemicals. In order to preserve the utmost purity, Spirulina Crunchies are not produced in a certified organic manner. Our growers found that since spirulina is grown in water rather than soil, certified organic farming constraints are not suited for producing a superior, nutritionally dense, pure product. Feeding spirulina an organic fertilizer creates a "dirtier" culture medium housing much higher levels of bacteria (which then requires the spirulina to be heated at high temperatures to be sterilized). Other brands of certified organic spirulina have been consistently tested to reveal a much higher heavy metal content than that of non-certified organic spirulina. As a fertilizer, our grower uses only pure, naturally occurring potassium nitrate (aka salt peter) from a mine in Chile. This insures safe levels of bacteria and a completely vegan product.
100% Pure Spirulina Granules
Spirulina Crunchies are 100% pure Spirulina - no fillers, stabilizers or additives. The Crunchies are simply created through a manual proprietary process using only pressure (no heat or chemical binders). Then the drying process begins.
The Drying Process In order to preserve the vital nutrients and to keep bacteria at safe levels, Spirulina Crunchies™ are dried in huge "dehydrators" at 120 - 130 F for approximately 5-7 hours. Due to the high moisture content that remains present in the spirulina for the majority of the drying time, we believe Spirulina Crunchies remain vital, enzymatically active and nutrient dense. The curing methods takes into consideration dry time, heat, humidity, and spirulina moisture saturation levels to ensure that Spirulina Crunchies remain vital and are at their healthiest and most vibrant. Note: The leading "raw" brand of spirulina uses a freeze-drying process that plummets the temperature below 0F. Extreme low temperatures can adversely affect the nutrient value of "live/raw" foods.
A Unique Variety
Spirulina Crunchies are a rare strain called "spirulina plantensis;" the variety is called "Titi." It was procured by our grower in 1995 from Dr. Jaques Falquet, of Geneva, Switzerland a Swiss Biochemical Scientist, who besides being one of the progenitors of the spirulina movement, is noted as instrumental in the development of antenna technology. Dr Falquet wrote "La Spiruline pour L'homme et la Planete" (Spirulina: for Mankind and the Planet).
Vibrant Spiral Structure
Spirulina forms helical, microscopic strands as it grows. This natural spiral shape is the inspiration for its name - Spirulina. Unlike many other varieties, the "Titi" variety used for Spirulina Crunchies is unique in that it maintains the spiral structure even after drying (does not "straighten out" or break). This is due in part to it's smaller size (twice as small as most other cultures). This is live food at its best. Not only is it raw, but it is energetically vibrant right down to the microscopic level!
Spirulina Crunchies are provided in an air tight, light-safe, metallic reclosable bag that contains an oxygen pack to preserve natural freshness. Store in a cool dark place (preferably under 75 degrees F). Do not refrigerate. Spirulina Crunchies have a shelf life of 5 years if stored properly (unrefrigerated).

ZF-12008: Adding a dbAdapter into session (for faster load) causes exception
I add the dbAdapter into session to avoid initializing it for every request. I have the code below in my bootstrap file
if(empty($ns->dbAdapter)) { $ns = new Zend_Session_Namespace('test'); $ns->dbAdapter = Zend_Db::factory($config->db->adapter, $config->db->config->toArray()); } $ns->dbAdapter->setFetchMode(Zend_Db::FETCH_OBJ); Zend_Db_Table::setDefaultAdapter($ns->dbAdapter);
Sometimes (about 1 click out of 10), an exception is thrown when I start a new request:
You cannot serialize or unserialize PDO instances
0. File:
C:\Data\websites\xyz\library\Zend\Session.php Line: 480
This is unreliable, and not recommended. It's a limitation (or feature!) of PHP: each new request has its own scope. While you can serialize a number of objects to sessions, PHP resources -- such as file handles or database connections -- can NOT be serialized. You will need to re-initialize such resources in each new request.
Some databases support "persistent connections". In such cases, if you connect to the database and request a persistent connection, the adapter will attempt to re-use a persistent connection if available. This feature varies widely in both availability and reliability between DB adapters that PHP supports, however, so YMMV.

This post is the first of in a short series about why we should consider physical activity as a life partner instead of someone to date for a few months.
The expression "'Till death do us part" reflects the tremendous commitment people make when they enter into a marriage. They forecast the years we aim to spend with the partner we select for the rest of our lives. Most of us decide to form life partnerships because we believe they will nurture and enhance our quality of life in some or many ways.
Despite the fact that many marriages don't last until death, the intention to keep this life-long commitment is meaningful and puts life partnerships in a special and unique category. Making a life-long commitment is also something we might think about applying to the realm of physical activity.
Over the years, I've learned that the core element of whether a woman stays active throughout her adult life is her RELATIONSHIP with physical activity.
If pressure or stress undergirds this relationship there will be anxiety associated with the very idea of exercising. If being physically active makes her feel incompetent or like she is failing, she'll develop a disdain for doing it. In contrast, if moving her body gives a woman an opportunity to nurture herself in some meaningful way, she will feel connected both to being physically active and to her body. In this scenario, physical activity feels like and actually becomes a key life partner; one that cultivates a sense of well-being as well as helps us to fulfill our dreams and life ambitions.
Person A. Sharon's relationship with physical activity is based on self-respect and comes out of a commitment to cultivate a life that is joyful, energetic, healthy and fulfilling. She experiences a desire to move her body.
Person B. Nancy's relationship with physical activity is based on trying to conform to a "gold standard" of body size, weight, type of exercise. Sarah dreads the very idea of moving her body.
Unfortunately, most women in midlife have formed a relationship with being physically active that reflects Nancy's experience. As you can imagine, Sarah is much LESS likely than Nancy to stay physically active throughout her lifetime.
Many women have LEARNED to have a negative and unproductive relationship with a behavior that should be as natural and desirable as wanting to sleep. But the key word is learned.
Our relationship with physical activity reflects our socialization and past experiences. We have learned to perceive and approach physical activity mainly as a tool to repair our bodies instead of an ally for enhancing our quality of life.
In the next post, I'll get into more detail about transforming physical activity your life-enhancing partner.

A metered Internet connection is a type of data plan used by some Internet service providers. With this type of plan, providers charge you according to the amount of data used (the amount of data sent and received by your PC). These plans often have a data limit, and if you exceed the limit you might have to pay extra, or your connection speed might be reduced for a period of time.
Windows 8.1 is a large file: about 1.8 GB for the 32-bit version and about 2.3 GB for the 64-bit version. Windows RT 8.1 with Microsoft Office is about 1.7 GB. Before you start downloading either of these files using a metered Internet connection, make sure to check your current data usage to see if this download might result in additional charges.
Most people with a broadband Internet connection will complete the download in an hour or two, but download times will vary based on your PC, your connection speed, and other factors.
In general, it should take about the same amount of time as downloading a movie from the Internet.
Make sure you allow enough time for the download to finish, and don't turn off your PC while it's downloading.
For more about metered connections, see Metered Internet connections: FAQ.

|Vandals break into Mid-Major poll
The University of Idaho swimming and diving team finished the 2012-13 season ranked 25th in the annual CollegeSwimming.com Mid-Major Division I poll.
The poll, which bases its rankings on an assigned value to a mythical dual meet lineup, is headed by Harvard with Princeton second and Miami (Ohio) third.
"It is great for this program to be recognized as one of the best mid-major teams in the country," coach Mark Sowa said. "We have spent the last two years building something pretty special and it is nice for that progress to be seen on a national level."
Last month, the Vandals had their best finish in the Western Athletic Conference Meet with a fourth-place effort. Throughout this season, Idaho broke 13 school records with a team that included just two seniors.
"We believe that Vandal swimming and diving can continue to compete at the highest level and this recognition confirms that belief," Sowa said. "This will only help potential recruits see that they can take their swimming and diving to an elite level here in Moscow."
