Related MediaWATCH: WIl Wheaton Announces TableTop Day
Are you game? Try the board variety this Saturday
Published: Thursday, March 28, 2013 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 28, 2013 at 1:06 p.m.
Grab your dice, order the pizza and shuffle the cards. Saturday is International TableTop Day, when over 2,250 public events at game stores, libraries and coffee shops in 55 countries around the world will celebrate the kinds of games that don't plug in. Think of it as a worldwide Game Night.
If You Go
WHAT: International Tabletop Day
WHERE: Cloak & Dagger Comics, 799 S. Nova Rd., Ormond Beach.
WHEN: Saturday, March 30, 2
p.m. - 9 p.m.
INFORMATION: www.tabletopday.com
Internet masters Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day, co-creators of the popular show "TableTop" on the YouTube channel Geek & Sundry, created the event to share their love of games and to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the show. In each episode Wheaton, of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "The Big Bang Theory" fame, plays against his friends and family. The result is something like a funnier-but-no-less-competitive "Celebrity Poker."
It helped that Wheaton's friends tend to be fellow actors, comedians, and game designers. Grant Imahara ("Mythbusters"), Colin Fergusen ("Eureka"), Kevin Sussman ("The Big Bang Theory") and many more took on popular games such as "Small World," "Settlers of Catan" and "Ticket to Ride."
Board game sales already were on the rise, surging in 2008 to nearly $800 million in the U.S.. As Wheaton told a crowd at MegaCon recently in Orlando, "I love it but I can't take credit for it. You were all already out there, playing. We just showed people how much fun it was."
Charles "Twitch" Schutt, who runs game nights at Cloak & Dagger Comics in Ormond Beach, agrees. "We're here every Saturday, always a good crowd," he said. He runs game nights there several times a week, plus monthly big events.
Why the interest in cardboard, plastic and pencils in a wireless world? The economy may have helped, as familes hoping to scale back their entertainment expenses found that a $20 board game beat a $60 video game. But many people have found a renewed interest in games you play face to face.
"One father told me that his tween kids spent every evening in front of their own computers or televisions," Wheaton said on his blog, "and after dinner he pretty much didn't see his family until breakfast. But after watching Tabletop together, the kids were inspired to start a family game night. Tabletop, he told me, literally brought his family closer together."
"It's not the same as when you're home alone on the XBox," Schutt said. "You can go out with your friends, have some drinks, play a game and talk while you play."
Choosing your game may be daunting. There are fast games and slow ones, games where you cooperate with each other and games where backstabbing is the only way to succeed, complicated endeavors and games with very few rules at all. You can build kingdoms or settlements, battle zombies, go into space, battle elder gods, create elder gods, solve puzzles, or just test your wits against your opponents, with new games coming out all the time.
"'Munchkins,' 'Ascension,' people love games like that," Schutt said. "Target and Barnes & Noble both have big games sections now, you didn't use to see that."
Don't have an event near you? "Make one yourself," says Day in her video announcing the event. "Whether it's just in your home, you convince a local coffee shop to host one, or, I don't know, you turn a gymnasium into a giant chess board. Your imagination's the limit."
"Tabletop," which has been renewed for a second season starting April 4, will be streaming a show live Saturday with Wheaton, Day, Imahara and other guests. You can search for events and get tips on games to try at tabletopday.com . Participants are urged to use #tabletopday in their preferred social media to spread the word.
Cloak & Dagger Comics will be holding a TableTop Day event from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, but really it'll be business as usual.
"We don't have to stop then," Schutt said. "Keep us interested and we'll keep playing."

my compouter isn't detecting my fuze
so heres the story:
ive had my fuze for about a year now. ive been plugging it in to my computer, dragging and dropping like i usually do.
but a couple days ago i plugged it in and nothing happened, well not nothing exactly.
on the mp3 player itself, it turned on, like it was playing music, and had a little lightning bolt beside the battery telling me that it was charging. and on my desktop, nothing. ABSOLUTELY nothing. no ding-ding, no beeps, not even an "unrecognized device detected"
i have tried everything i could find, ive changed it to MTP and MSC and ive tried doing that thing where you turn "hold" on and plug it in while holding the left button. and ive tried going into my computer but its acting like there is nothing plugged into the computer at all. the weard thing is it was all working 3 days ago, and i havent done anything differently.
can anyone help me? and sorry about the long rant.
|[Remove Advertisement]
Did you try resetting the player(holding the power slider in the up position for at least 30 seconds), then try connecting it to the pc in MSC mode.
Try plugging it into a different pc using a rear usb port(or if it is a notebook, while the pc is plugged in) with the player set at MSC mode . If it doesn't connect, then the problem is probably either the cable or the player.
Do you have an extra cable you can try with the player? If not, then perhaps you could take the player to a store where you could try connecting it to a pc using their cable.
what is the mp3 player supose to do when i do that, it turned on then right back off again but i still held it on for like a minute and when i turned it back on nothing changed, and i have tired a different cord cue my roommate has the same mp3 player.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I now have exactly the same problem as the OP.
Everything has been working fine for months (MSC mode) up until 2 days ago, then all of a sudden the Fuze is not recognised by PC. I tried it on other OSs and the same thing happened (so it's can't be an operating system problem).
I've got a new data cable on order (I'm hoping it's a cable problem even though nothing has happened to the existing cable that could cause it to have broken).
It would be interested to know if the OP (or anyone else) managed to find a solution to this issue.
My 4GB Fuze has basically the same problem, except it is not recognized in USB mode (first on the system settings), or auto detect mode. In MSC mode, I cannot see any of the music on the player, and don't know why. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Welcome to ABi!
Are you saying that your PC doesn't recognize the player or you can't find your files once it does connect? If it's not seeing the player at all that's caused sometimes by a bad hardware connection. Either the cable or the connector may have a problem.
If it's that you can't see your files once it does connect you've added files using a a different transfer mode than the one you have set now. Files added in MTP can't be seen in MSC and vice versa. If you are using Autodefect they may have been added in either mode. Usually the best way to solve that is to take all the files off the player and start over loading it.
Pick either MSC or MTP mode and use it for all file transfers from then on. Never use Autodefect. It picks the mode it thinks is best for different transfers. It can and will change between one transfer and the next on the same PC. That's usually how the fies seem to vanish.
If it's not being recognized at all I'd try another cable. They're dead cheap on Amazon. You'll usually pay more for shipping that the cable itself. I've pick up a few to spread around the different places I might charge up and haven't found a difference between the ones for a penny or $5.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
I got the "USB device not recognised", too, after about a year of use. Tried everything suggested here, but nothing worked, so that is that. I thought at least I could play what is already on there, but player wont charge up.
Just posting here to say, no, I havent found a solution, either. It's a fault that seems beyond repair.
Have you tried charging it using an AC USB charger? If that doesn't work, then the problem might be the cable, connector on the player, or some hardware problem within the player. Perhaps there might be some dirt in the connector? You could try blowing on it with a can of compressed air. If theat doesn't work, then you may need to think of a good way of cleaning the connector without damaging it or the player.
Think its probably a hardware failure, but going to try charging up on a plug charger when I can get hold of a new one. Thanks.

"What 'green' laundry products are available for my operation? Are they truly 'green' or 'environmentally friendly'? What's the difference? I hear the term applied most often to chemicals, but can't equipment or textiles carry that description, too?"Textile/Uniform Rental: Steve Kallenbach, American Dawn, Los Angeles, Calif.
Green is a loosely used and barely defined term, regardless of industry. If you look it up in most dictionaries, it's defined as a product, service or process that's environmentally friendly. In other words, it doesn't "hurt" the environment.
The term "green" is thrown around in industry and retail so much that the average consumer really doesn't know what it means! In fact, there's a new term called "green-washing" that refers to the misuse of the term for marketing purposes.
With regard to the uniform and linen rental industry, we are, in fact, one of the biggest recyclers of textiles on the planet. Yet, this is a little-known fact. Compare paper towels or paper napkins to industrial shop towels or linen. You'll find the difference to be one use versus 20 to 80 uses. That is the essence of green!
Our industry, therefore, defines any IL (industrially laundered) textile product — industrial towels, hospitality linens and towels, healthcare linens and towels, aprons, garments, etc. — as being green. In addition, there are a number of environmentally friendly restroom supplies — including soaps and air fresheners — that are also considered green. This pretty much covers most of the products used in the IL industry.
If a textile is laundered for multiple use through a qualified professional laundry, it's greener than its equivalent paper product.
With regard to equipment and laundry processes, it is also these systems that make our products green by using proper (environmentally friendly) chemicals, reclaiming heated water, reclaiming water flushes, capturing contaminants during sewer treatment, properly disposing of contaminants under legal and ethical guidelines, and containing air pollution within stack filtration systems.
Our industry is a poster child for green and most consumers don't even know we exist!
There's a major marketing initiative being launched in the IL industry, managed by both the Uniform & Textile Service Association (UTSA) and the Textile Rental Services Association (TRSA), called "Clean Green." It teaches consumers that, by virtue of using IL products through qualified laundries, they're participating in the "green movement."
This program will likely extend the dual-association LaundryESP program into marketing the attributes of our industry. A study with Pepperdine University's MBA marketing program is under way to establish the baseline. Once done, the industry will start to see many new Clean Green marketing tools, including licensing the name and logo for use at any qualified (certified) operation.
The green era is an exciting, new time in our industry. It's time to embrace it, become it and market it — to everyone's benefit, including the planet!Commercial Laundering: Richard Warren, Linen King of Central Arkansas, Conway, Ark.
Not only is this a chemical and laundry question, it has social and political implications as well.
Virtually all washing compounds are biodegradable and in the narrow sense are considered green.
Some cities restrict the disposal of phosphates, not because they cause damage but because they boost growth of flora and fauna that fill sewage treatment facilities. Phosphates are found in many fertilizers used privately.
When I was a kid, we drank phosphate in soft drinks. Cherry was a favorite. That said, if you get alkali on your hands, or accidentally mix chlorine and sour, you'll have more trouble than you want.
So, are these things green? Cyanide is a natural product, so it's green in a strict sense. I believe that the political climate has made us hypersensitive to the term.
But consider this: What is done with the land after these substances are mined? If the mines aren't closed in a responsible manner, those circumstances wouldn't be considered green. There would be room for considerable indignation.
The manufacture and blending of these laundry products may present an issue, but I really can't say. I don't know what the blending process is, nor do I know how much residue remains after blending.
Packaging of products could very well be an issue. If packaged in plastic, is there a system in place for recycling? When paper is used, there's still a need for disposal.
Plastic was touted as saving our trees, and now the Earth is teeming with nonbiodegradable products. Do we go back to cutting down our softwood trees in order to make paper? Obviously, the whole green concept is complex.
Our industry is big and important ... to us. But we shouldn't, as an industry, assume we're going to save the planet. Let's not make ourselves out to be more influential than we really are.Technical Support: Jim Mitchell, Ecolab, Eagan, Minn.
Cleaning products can be submitted to a certification organization such as GREENGUARD, Design for the Environment, LEED-EB, GreenBlue, Green Label and GreenSeal for analysis.
As an example, products sent to GreenSeal that fall within its standards as being environmentally "green" will be recognized with its certificate of approval. However, its certification parameters apply primarily to all-purpose cleaners, degreasers, glass cleaners, bathroom cleaners, hand soaps, floor cleaners, etc. At this point, they don't apply to laundry-related products.
Responsible chemical companies in the laundry markets have already made adjustments to product formulations to make them sustainable, or as environmentally friendly as possible.
Such ongoing formulation changes can include alternate raw-material chemistry for water conditioning (phosphate-free), surfactants, caustics, bleaching agents, etc.
However, being green isn't just about product chemistry. It also involves customer satisfaction, economic progress and social responsibility. Advancements in all of these areas are necessary to protect needed resources and preserve quality of life for future generations.
A responsible approach to sustainability focuses on helping operations conserve resources, reduce waste and protect the environment. When deciding to "go green," you should also consider environmentally friendly solutions in these areas:
• Maximize your operational efficiency and lower energy consumption. This should include washers, dryers, ironers, conveyor systems, building heating and air conditioning, vehicle transportation systems, plant lighting, etc. Maximizing energy consumption will also save you money.
• Maintenance and repairs keep equipment at peak operating efficiency. Upgrade old, inefficient equipment to new, more efficient models.
• Incorporate low-water temperature products, formulas and systems. New product chemistry has made some systems far more effective than previous systems.
• Consider new product chemistry/technology and dispensing systems that are designed to use less water without compromising effectiveness.
• Water reconditioning and/or recycling systems can save thousands of gallons of water.
• Eliminate unnecessary cycles in your wash formulas (flushes/rinses). Make sure all washer water levels are set to minimum without compromising results.
• Switch to bulk chemical packaging or highly concentrated solid packaged products to reduce plastic or other product packaging waste.
• Make sure packaging material can be recycled. Keep excessive product waste out of landfills.
• Is your chemical dispensing system dishing out too much product? Controlled, precise dispensing is important in reducing waste.
Yes, going green can also apply to textiles, although most of the consideration here is via the textile manufacturing process. Green textiles can include bamboo, hemp, wool, fair trade, silk, soy, even recycled soda bottles to make fleece.
A good source of information is National Geographic's Green Guide website, www.thegreenguide.com. Search for the phrase "fabrics and yarns."
Employee Training
Going green in your operation will require a certain degree of cooperation from employees. Proper training may be required. Employees must:
• Properly load (but not over-load) washers and dryers.
• Choose the correct settings on the dryers to eliminate unnecessary overdrying, one of the biggest energy wasters in a laundry.
• Choose the correct formulas for the soiled linen being washed.
• Keep all laundry equipment in optimum working order: proper combustion in the dryer, no leaking drains, clean lint screens, etc.

Did U Know...? ...Why Various Denominations Speak in Tongues?
By Lee Warren, B.A., D.D.

Many Christian sects and denominations claim to speak in tongues. In reality, they are uttering gibberish or an unintelligible speech at the height of religious fervor or as they go into a trance. This phenomena is often referred to as glossolalia or the gift of tongues. According to James Hastings in the Dictionary of the Bible: "Possession of the gift enabled the believer to give voice to ecstatic utterances in moments of high religious excitement (p. 1008)." These congregations believe and teach that speaking an incomprehensible language, which they label speaking in tongues, is a sign that they have the Holy Spirit. They ridicule those that cant and dont speak in these so-called tongues.
In reality, speaking in tongues is a sign of the Holy Spirit. The Messiah said: And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; (Mk. 16:17). The Apostle Paul also stated that speaking in tongues is a gift of the Holy Spirit. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; ... to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: (1 Cor. 12:8-11).
What needs to be clarified is the word tongue, for some obvious questions arise in light of the assertion that speaking babble is speaking in tongues.
Is speaking gibberish considered speaking in tongues?
Paul said: ... I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue (I Cor. 14:19). It is quite obvious that the Messiah didnt send his disciples or Apostles out to speak nonsense or a language that people could not understand (Mt. 28:19). The disciples were messengers of truth and had to have the ability to convey the truth in a manner easily understood by common men. The intent of this article is to define tongues and explain the misinterpretation and misunderstanding of speaking in tongues according to the scriptures.
What is the definition of the word tongue?
The word tongue in the context of communication is defined as: ...4. A spoken language or dialect (The American Heritage Dictionary of the Spoken Language, p. 1353). Language is defined in the same source as: ... vocal sounds ... to form, express, and communicate thoughts and feelings (p. 736). Thus, 'tongues' would be the plural which means the person is speaking more than one language simultaneously.
If the word 'tongue', in this sense, is an expression of thoughts, then someone speaking in tongues should be establishing a communication or dialogue between the speaker and the listener. If the listener cant understand the thoughts, feelings, or ideas of the speaker, the language is of no value. In short, someone speaking many words in an unknown tongue should be quiet, unless, of course, there is an interpreter (I Cor. 14:27-28).
How is the word tongue interpreted in the scriptures?
Now the word 'tongue' has many meanings. In the King James version of the Bible the word 'tongue' means: "babbler, bay, evil speaker, language, talker, tongue, wedge (p. 1008-1009)." The meaning depends on the context in which the word is being used. According to The Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible by James Strong: "... the tongue (of man or animals), used literally (as the instrument of licking, eating, or speech), and figuratively (speech, an ingot, a fork of flame, a cove of water):" depicts two different contexts. In Hebrew the word 'tongue' is 'lashown (law-shone'); or lashon (law-shone'); also (in plural) feminine leshonah (lesh-o-naw').
What is the significance of Pentecost and the Tower of Babel?
What must be understood is that in A.D. 33 at 9:00 a.m. in Jerusalem this Present Kingdom Age of Grace began with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles. Mankind would be hereafter saved by grace through faith under the New Covenant (Eph. 2:8-9). It was in the upper room that the Apostles began to speak under the influence of the Holy Spirit in another tongue. Luke the physician, who was not an Apostle, described the event. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance (Acts 2:1-4).
When the Apostles spoke in other tongues, were they understood?
Some Christians think the Apostles spoke in various tongues or languages of their day. This would have been impossible since the Apostles were unlearned men (Acts 4:13; Luke 5:1-11) who spoke no other language, except Hebrew. Upon closer inspection of the scriptures, it can be understood that those present HEARD the Apostles preaching the Gospel in their own languages within the confines of their minds. In other words, as the Apostles spoke Hebrew, the Holy Spirit translated their words into the various languages the people spoke. Luke wrote: And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of Elohim (God). And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this (Acts 2:10-15)?
Further proof that the Apostles spoke in Hebrew on the day of Pentecost, but it was heard in the tongue or language of the listener, can be shown by understanding the Tower of Babel.
Why were the tongues confused at the Tower of Babel?
Prior to the building of the Tower of Babel, which was approximately 100 years after the flood, the people of the earth spoke one language (Gn. 11:1). When the men of the earth began to build the tower without divine specifications and also to make a name for themselves, Yahweh said: "Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech (Gn.11:7)."
They couldnt finish building the tower because they couldnt understand each others language. This is how mankind began to speak various languages or tongues. Thus, the day of Pentecost is, in reality, the reversal of tongues that previously were confused at the Tower of Babel. At Pentecost men once again began to understand one another form a spiritual sense.
Did the Messiah speak in tongues in His ministry?
During the three and a half years of the Messiahs ministry He spoke parables which are a form of tongue that werent understood by the people. He didnt speak in another language. The Messiah was born a Hebrew or Israelite and He spoke Hebrew (See the "Did You Know?" section of the Complimentary Issue of the "PLIM REPORT," p. 13). His mission was to fulfill the scriptures (Mt. 5:17-18), which were also written in Hebrew.
Many of the prophets prophesied that the Messiah would speak to Israel in another tongue. Isaiah the prophet wrote under the influence of the Holy Spirit: For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people (Isa. 28:11). The Apostle Paul wrote: In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith Yahweh (the Lord, 1 Cor. 14:21). Now one may ask, if the Messiahs native tongue were Hebrew, what did Isaiah mean when he wrote that the Messiah would speak in another tongue.
Are parables a form of speaking in tongues?
The answer to this mystery is yes, but not the way one might think. The Messiah spoke to Israel in parables (or another tongue) which they didnt understand. Remember, parables are a symbolic, allegorical language or way of speaking, and like a foreign language, they need an interpreter. He might as well have been speaking to them in Russian or some other foreign language. For example, the Messiah told Israel the parable about the sower sowing seeds. Some fell by the wayside and the fowls came and devoured them. Some fell on stony ground and couldnt take root or withstand the noon day sun. Some fell among thorns and were choked. And some fell on good ground and yielded fruit 30 fold, 60 fold, 100 fold.
When the Messiah told this parable to the people, His disciples became angry with him and said: ... Why speakest thou unto them in parables (Mt. 13:10)? He told His disciples: ... Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given ... Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand (Matt. 13:11, 13).
The Messiah spoke of a sower sowing seeds in a field as an allegory of the Messiah speaking words of truth into our minds (Mark 4:14). The Messiah gave different scenarios of what happens when the truth is spoken into mens hearing.
Some words are heard by the listener, but not believed (the seeds fall by the wayside). Negative forces take the words from him (the fowls of the air come and devour them) by placing doubt in his mind or by distracting him.
Some words fall unto stony ears (stony ground), but because he does not focus on them and nurture them (the seeds don't have much depth of earth), they dont take root. Consequently, he becomes depressed and hopeless (withers away) as adversities arise in life (the heat of the sun scorches the seeds).
Some words fall upon those with their own doctrine firmly implanted in their minds or that are too caught up in the cares of this world to believe the truth (thorny ground). The hearer ignores the word totally (the thorns grow up, choking the seedling which yields no fruit).
Some words (seeds), however, fall on listeners who are ready to receive them and reproduce fruits of the Spirit in abundance.
Can the analogy of being born again be likened to a foreign tongue?
Another example of the Messiah speaking in tongues is when Nicodemus, a teacher of Israel, came to him by night. He said: Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from Elohim (God): for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except Elohim (God) be with him (John 3:2). Yahshua said unto him: ... Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (Jn. 3:3).
With his limited understanding Nicodemus interpreted being born again from a literal, physical standpoint. Although the Messiah spoke of being born again, the only birth Nicodemus knew was a physical birth and therefore he missed the entire spiritual essence of the parable.
Nicodemus said unto the Messiah: ... How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mothers womb, and be born (Jn. 3:3)? Clearly, we see that Nicodemus total misunderstanding of the Messiahs parable was as if Yahshua had spoken Swahili.
In other words, Nicodemus heard the spoken literal words of the parable, but did not have the correct interpretation of those words. If one hears a foreign tongue, which one doesn't speak, an interpreter is needed in order to get some understanding.
The Messiah spoke of being born again in a spiritual sense. When you begin to perceive things in a new and different way (I Cor. 2:14) this is being born again spiritually and psychological.
The natural birth of a new born babe points to the spiritual birth of insightfulness into spiritual principles (Rm. 1:19-20). A man cannot see the Kingdom of Elohim unless he has been elevated in his consciousness and becomes aware of His creator dwelling within him (Lk. 17:20-21). A man firm in his old way of thinking can become as a new born babe when his understanding is transformed from carnal mindedness to a spiritual mind (Rom. 12:2).
What the disciples didnt know at the time was that the Messiah was fulfilling the scriptures. Matthew wrote: All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world (Matt 13:34-35). So clearly the parables were the tongue the prophets said the Messiah would speak, when He came into the flesh.
Did Paul meet people who spoke gibberish?
The question that arises is: How do we speak in tongues under the New Covenant? It is quite obvious that speaking gibberish is not the answer. The listener would not be able to understand anything that was uttered. It appears that the Apostle Paul must have encountered those who spoke in tongues during his travels, for he wrote: For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto Elohim: for no man understandeth him; ... He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? ... except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air (1 Cor. 14:2-9).
Can we speak in tongues under the New Covenant?
To speak in new tongues means to verbally convey how physical things point to spiritual principles (Rom. 1:19-20; John 3:12). To explain the spiritual significance of the Passover meal instituted in the land of Egypt, for example, would be speaking in a new tongue. Israels literal eating of lamb, bitter herbs and unleavened bread, is symbolic or allegorical to eating the words of the Messiah (Job 34:3). Unleaven bread typifies sincerity and truth (I Cor. 5:7-8) the leaven typifies malice and wickedness, and the killing of the paschal lamb points to the Messiahs crucifixion (John 1:29; 6:63).
When various dogmas of Christianity teach that the Messiah instituted the Lords Supper and it must be physically eaten, with crackers and wine, in order to receive the Spirit of the Messiah, this shows that they dont understand the tongue of the Old Testament nor the Messiah. In other words, they are teaching works of merit as salvation instead of grace by faith (Eph. 2:8-9). Those that have received an understanding of the scriptures by the Holy Spirit, speak a pure tongue or language that isnt defiled by mans dogma or traditions (Zeph. 3:9).
Is the symbolism in Revelation a 'new tongue'?
The panoramic vision of the Apostle John with all its symbolism is a tongue not understood by most of the world even though it is translated into many modern languages. In fact, to understand the gospel of Yahshua the Messiah you must know how Moses vision is confirmed by Johns vision. Only those that have the wisdom of the Holy Spirit can explain or interpret this tongue correctly.
The imagery of a harlot sitting on a scarlet beast that has fornicated with all the kings of the earth, should not be taken literally. The Apostle John is not describing a lady of the night. Instead, he is comparing a whore with a city (Rev. 17:18) dispensing erroneous doctrine to as many as will hear.
The etymology of the word 'intercourse' is communication, so John uses the analogy of a woman intercoursing with many men, to describe heads of a city deceiving men. A physical woman could not possibly sleep with all the kings of the earth. These same men, though, could all believe a lie. John says the womans name is Mystery Babylon or a city in unrecognizable confusion. He says this city will be burned and destroyed. This points to the erroneous doctrine in a mans mind that must be totally consumed and burnt up.
Does expressing internal feelings of the mind demonstrate a form of speaking in tongues?
When we express our internal feelings, they are conveyed in terms of analogies to external objects. For example, to convey the intensity of my anger, it has to be done in comparison to something else. I might say, Im as angry as a blast furnace. I am describing a state of mind with a physical analogy. Everyone knows a blast furnace doesnt exist in my mind. By comparing the intensity of a blast furnace, which is a real object in the objective world, with my anger, you are supposed to form a mental picture of the intensity of the anger. Before concluding this article, a brief history on tongues in church history will be discuss.
How did 'tongues' develop in Church history?
According to the Dictionary of the Bible by James Hasting throughout church history this phenomena of speaking in tongues has occurred repeatedly. It is only in modern times, during the 1800s in London, England, that religious sects sprung up where speaking in tongues became fundamental doctrine. This began the Pentecostal churches which later came to American in the early 20 century.
In 1865 Louis XIV (14) began to persecute the French Protestant, who were also called Huguenots, for their religious beliefs. During their religious services which became very fervent, many of the worshipers would pass out and enter a trance like state where they would speak pure French instead of their normal everyday dialect. In the early 19th century similar occurrences happened in London. Edward Irving (1792-1834), began a religious movement called Irvingism, later called the Catholic Apostolic Church after he was kicked out of the Presbyterian Church for claiming Jesus was more man than God . His movement disbanned when his prophecy of the Second Coming of Christ in 1864 did not occur.
Irving has been called "the father of modern Pentecostalism" according to Dave MacPherson in his book The Incredible Cover-Up (p. 28). The charismatic movement began in J. B. Cardale's home whose family eventually joined Iving's church. Cardale was the leader of an Albury group of charismatics to Scotland. "The first known case of speaking in tongues in London was experienced by Cardale's wife on April 30, 1831, when she also uttered the following prophecy: 'The Lord will speak to His people--the Lord hasteneth His Coming--the Lord cometh.' A short time later the Cardales joined Irving's church (p. 28)."
Are metaphors and parables a type of tongue?
In conclusion, by using analogies to describe our internal feelings, we are speaking in tongues. This is the only way of communicating ones internal feelings to another. In the Bible, Elohim uses metaphors and parables to convey spiritual principles which is also a form of speaking in tongues. So parables and analogies, etc. are a universal means of communicating the internal states of mind and spiritual principles. Uttering babble, on the other hand, is a trick of the adversary to deceive men into believing some profound wisdom is wrapped up in gibberish.

I changed properties like screen length and buffer size of my

system32). I expected changes to last for all instances, but the following is happening:
any execution from within the system32 folder and from start->run is fine
any shortcut in the taskbar or anywhere else yields default values for attributes; the screen is smaller than I set and the buffer is default size
This is not expected behaviour. It hinders me from constructing shortcuts where I need them to start a cmd with the sizes I want. What is wrong here? Thanks.

Injury is the leading cause of death into the third decade of life, and alcohol is an enormous risk factor for injury. Alcohol is involved in 40% of fatal motor vehicle crashes (MVC). The long-term goal of this research program is to reduce alcohol-related injuries and other negative alcohol-related consequences among patients injured in a MVC who present for treatment in a hospital ED. An ED visit provides an ideal teachable moment in which to intervene for an alcohol-use problem. A prior study by researchers at this institution has shown that a brief motivational intervention administered in the ED, followed by a booster session, reduces alcohol-related injuries and other negative consequences at a 12-month follow-up for sub-critically injured, harmful/hazardous drinkers. The researchers will study whether such an intervention given by telephone will be effective. Contrary to the generally held notion that counseling requires face-to-face interaction, research finds that telephone counseling and intervention can effectively treat a range of health and mental health conditions. Telephone intervention is also likely to be more cost-effective.
The study's primary aim is to test whether a brief motivational intervention given by telephone to harmful/hazardous drinkers injured in a MVC will reduce alcohol-related injuries and other negative alcohol-related consequences. Researchers will randomly assign 286 hazardous drinkers injured in a MVC and treated in the ED to telephone brief motivational intervention or standard care. Re-assessment will be at 3 and 12 months to measure changes in reducing alcohol-related injuries and other alcohol-related negative consequences. A secondary aim is to test for patient characteristics that may moderate effectiveness of the intervention. The study will examine if effect is dependent on the extent of hazardous drinking; or on attribution of injury to alcohol; or on the subject's self assessment of the pros and cons of alcohol use at the time of their injury.

Tuesday, March 11, 2014 is the day voters of Florida's U.S. House of Representatives District 13 head to their precinct voting booths to decide who will represent them in Washington, D.C. The special election was scheduled after longtime district 13 representative Bill Young passed away. They can choose between the normal Republican and Democrat or do something responsibly bold by choosing Libertarian Lucas Overby. Since this is a special election the winner will only be in office less than a year as the office will be up in the general election this November.
Overby seems to be most in line with voters of the district on the issues, however we will see if voters simply vote down party lines or explore each candidate's platform. The last debate amongst the three candidates had Overby winning. That said, Alex Sink, the Democrat, seems to be winning in the polls over Republican David Jolly and Overby. Polls are notoriously inaccurate, so it is anyone's guess who is going to win this one.
Both Jolly and Sink are political insiders, while Overby would me more of a sending "Mr. Smith to Washington" choice for voters. Unlike his two counterparts, even the Republican, Overby takes the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution seriously, as do the residents of the district. As we wrote last month, "Much to the surprise to those with me when I viewed the debate, Jolly was unclear on his answer on gun rights and like Sink, left it open for further gun control." Overby also has a lead over his opponents when it comes to medical marijuana as he is for it, while the other two are either not for it or are interested in putting so many road blocks in its way to legalization, it almost makes it pointless.
Overby makes the point for voting for him tomorrow via this quote from his website, "Our nation can no longer afford the constant battle and deadlock of left versus right, Republican versus Democrat. Our nation can no longer afford ideological stalemate. We must come together and work towards the common goals of mutual prosperity and freedom."

We have all seen the Verizon commercial that shows Verizon's 3G map vs. AT&T. Being a skeptical consumer, we have often wondered if this is true. Unfortunately, this is not a case of false advertising. While the Verizon coverage map shows 3G coverage, AT&T coverage map shows GSM coverage and not 3G coverage. When you click the link for 3G coverage (very small writing directly below the bottom right hand corner of the map), you get a very limited list of cities with no map of any kind. Take a moment to look at the two maps. Verizon 3G coverage envelops the whole country, while AT&T offers coverage only in large metro areas.
Now the question on everyone's mind, why should I care if the network coverage is 3G or GSM? The GSM network can deliver not only voice, but also circuit-switched data at speeds up to 14.4 kbps. 3G on the other hand, in order to support mobile multimedia applications had to deliver packet-switched data with better spectral efficiency, at far greater speeds, up to 14.0 mbps (1000 times faster than GSM) on the downlink and 5.8 mbps on the uplink.
Now why should you care? The biggest problem with having such a small 3G network is any applications that use the internet (example: gadgets on your iPhone). Outside of the 3G network, the GSM network does not have enough bandwidth to support them, simply put they won't work.
What is the impact to the iPhone 3GS? AT&T poor 3G coverage prevented the iPhone from making into the top ten gadgets of year.
What does poor AT&T 3G coverage mean to Minnesota residents? 3G service is only available in Minneapolis (this does include the metro area), Rochester, and St. Cloud. This leaves the Duluth area with no 3G coverage. See the map below (only the blue areas have 3 g coverage).

"24" is one of America's most beloved action television series and is even so popular that it was able to take a long hiatus and still come back on top with positive ratings during this summer's premiere.
With that being said, the star of the show, Kiefer Sutherland, is being insulted by a former teen heartthrob.
Freddie Prince Jr. (where has he been these days?) was very vocal about his 2010 experience on "24" during a recent interview with ABC news during Comic-Con. "Kiefer was the most unprofessional dude in the world. That's not me talking trash; I'd say it to his face. I think everyone that's worked with him has said that."
Ouch. He didn't stop there though, "I just wanted to quit the business after that. So, I just sort of stopped."
But he didn't really stop. He went to work for something quite different. "I went and worked for Vince McMahon at the WWE for Christ's sake and it was a crazier job than working with Kiefer. But at least he was cool and tall," the actor said. "I didn't have to take my shoes off to do scenes with him, which they made me do. Just put the guy on an apple box or don't hire me next time. You know I'm 6 feet and he's 5-foot-4."
Sutherland and his rep have yet to respond to these brutal comments from Prince. But if his statements of "I think everyone that's worked with him has said that," are correct then it is very likely that other actors will chime in on their experiences with the reportedly "unprofessional" actor.
Do you think these latest comments of the show's main character will hurt "24's" ratings? Leave your comments below.

USDA Cub Handling Third Comment Period
USDA Reopening Comment Period
on Legal Petition Submitted by Big Cat Rescue and Coalition
to Prohibit the Public Contact with Big Cats and Cubs
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) today announced it is reopening the comment period on a legal petition submitted by Big Cat Rescue, the Humane Society of the United States and a coalition of organizations (HSUS, World Wildlife Fund, Detroit Zoological Society, International Fund for Animal Welfare, Born Free USA, Fund for Animals and Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries) to completely prohibit exhibition facilities from allowing members of the public to come into direct contact with dangerous wild animals.
Big Cat Rescue and the coalition applaud USDA for taking this action to solicit information that would support a regulation prohibiting these inhumane and unsafe interactive experiences with big cats, bears and nonhuman primates. "We are very pleased that USDA is requesting further input from the public and see it as a positive sign that USDA is considering taking the action requested in our petition", said Carole Baskin, founder and CEO of Big Cat Rescue.
The action follows a determination by USDA in April 2016 that public contact with infant exotic cats violates the Animal Welfare Act, making clear that it is illegal for cubs to be immediately pulled from their mothers after birth to be hand-reared and bottle-fed by members of the public before their immune systems have even developed.
Comprehensive action to eliminate this dangerous practice is essential – for example, Dade City's Wild Things in Dade City, Florida is currently under USDA investigation for numerous violations of the Animal Welfare Act, including stress on infant and young tiger cubs handled and forced to swim with the public.
In addition, PETA yesterday filed an intent to sue Dade City's Wild Things under the Endangered Species Act. PETA contends that prematurely separating infant tigers from their mothers, forcing them to interact with members of the public, and confining them to nearly barren concrete pens all constitute unlawful "takes," defined by the Endangered Species Act as harming, harassing, and/or wounding an animal. http://www.peta.org/blog/nightmarish-tiger-sweatshop-gets-notice-petas-intent-sue/
Here is the email we got from USDA today:
USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is considering whether to revise the Animal Welfare Act regulations governing the handling of (and public contact with) dangerous animals.
In 2012, a coalition of animal advocacy organizations petitioned APHIS to ban all public contact with dangerous animals exhibited under the Animal Welfare Act. The agency published the petition and received more than 15,000 comments. APHIS is now reopening the comment period until August 31, 2016, as it seeks the public's input on additional questions that will help the agency better determine its course of action.
The questions are included in a notice, which is available for public inspection on the Federal Register page at: https://www.federalregister.
Interested stakeholders can view the questions and submit comments beginning at: http://www.regulations.gov/#!
APHIS will host three listening sessions, using these additional questions, in an effort to gather targeted public feedback. The schedule for these sessions and participant information is as follows:
Wednesday, June 29; 1-3 p.m. (EDT); please register here
Wednesday, July 6; 1-3 p.m. (EDT); please register here
Thursday August 4; 1-3 p.m. (EDT); please register here
YOUR Voice Matters
All you have to say is your name and that you are opposed to public contact with exotic cats of any age. That's it.
You may register for multiple listening sessions, but you must register for each one separately. After registering, you will receive an email containing the call-in number, access code and an identification code specific to each participant. Please do not share your identification code with anyone because this will impede your ability to connect to the listening session.
During the listening sessions, an operator will provide instructions for those participants who wish to speak. We ask that each speaker please limit their comments to three minutes or less. Thank you.
If you have any problems registering (or connecting), please email Dave Sacks at email@example.com.
We have created a webpage to serve as our information hub regarding the feedback we are soliciting on handling dangerous animals. The site, located , features the eight questions APHIS is asking as well as instructions on registering for the listening sessions. The site will subsequently feature audio recordings and written transcripts of the listening sessions.
Thank you for your interest in animal welfare and your willingness to participate in this process. APHIS will use the public comments it receives as it considers possible actions to protect animals from any potential harm that can result from being handled by humans. Please feel free to share this stakeholder message with anyone you think would be interested in participating.
At USDA Animal Care, ensuring the welfare of the animals we regulate is at the heart of everything we do.

Despite loss Panthers sitting pretty for playoff berth
The Panthers 5-game winning streak gave them a nice cushion so that even if the Capitals catch them for first place, the Panthers should at the least grab the seventh or eighth spot.
The Panthers are 5 up on Washington with both teams having nine games left. They're nine up on the Jets also with no games in hand. Florida is just two back of Boston for second in the Eastern Conference with Boston holding a game in hand.
Florida is one up on Ottawa (7th place) but the Sens have played one more game. The Panthers are coming home to two 14th place teams although the Oilers are young and dangerous. With 85 points it's quite possible the Panthers will only need 91 points to earn a spot.
The Caps are in Philadelphia Thursday night so that won't be an easy two points, especially after the Panthers angered them on Tuesday!

different giant, soulless, out-of-town company now runs the Warfield; but, hey, competitionSeptember 13th, 2008
Mercury News alerted me to the fact that different people are booking the Warfield these days. It used to be booked by Livenation (formerly Clear Channel Entertainment, formerly Bill Graham Presents) but now it's booked by Anschutz Entertainment Group-owned Goldenvoice, also out of Southern California. They're perhaps best known for booking Coachella.
How did they get the Warfield? (From the Mercury News:)
Goldenvoice also has the advantage of some very deep pockets. The company, which began promoting punk shows in L.A. 20 years ago, is now owned by AEG, billionaire Philip Anschutz's corporate behemoth whose interests range from owning the Staples Center and the Los Angeles Kings to producing Celine Dion's residency in Vegas.
It was Anschutz's purchase of the San Francisco Examiner in 2004 that enabled Goldenvoice to get a toehold in the market. The Examiner deal included the Warfield property, so when the lease came up, Live Nation was out and Goldenvoice was in.
From the article, I see that the Warfield was shut down for renovations but the changes ("The sound board has been moved downstairs…The locations of two bars have been shifted slightly, and the whole place has been spruced up with new paint and carpet.") seem pretty minor. Given how much I disliked the venue before, I don't think those will entice me back.
On the other hand, I think this is an interesting development in the local scene. While I wish everything was booked by small DIY promoters with inexpensive shows it'd a good thing that LiveNation doesn't have such a stranglehold on the medium-to-large size rooms in the City. In that size range, Another Planet Entertainment (run by ex-Bill Graham Presents people) books occasional shows at the Grand Ballroom (at which Goldenvoice has been setting up shows too), Palace of Fine Arts, and Paramount Theater in Oakland, LiveNation had the Fillmore, Warfield and Mountain Winery completely under their control in addition to booking some shows at the Palace of Fine Arts, etc. So as much as I want small, independent and/ or local promoters to be booking the cities venues[1], at least there's some competition in that size range at this point.
If you're curious as to who they're booking, Goldenvoice lists all of the Warfield shows.
[1] I should note that a lot of the bookers are local and independent in the small club range: Great American, Slim's, Bimbo's, Bottom of the Hill, Cafe du Nord, and Swedish American.
