DePaoli, Mets are working for the weekend
The new head of business for the New York Mets thinks his fans want more weekend fun.
Accordingly, a promotional calendar built around Friday, Saturday and Sunday games is one of the hallmarks of the new way Lou DePaoli, the Mets' executive vice president and chief revenue officer, is marketing the team.

Targeting 'tweens to younger 30-something singles, there are 12 T-shirt giveaways ("Free Shirt Fridays") on Friday nights and four concerts on Saturdays, including Boyz II Men and Huey Lewis. The 40 promotional dates (all Friday through Sunday) are eight more than the Mets had during the 2013 season.
Single-game tickets for 2014 went on sale earlier this year.
"We'd had a lot of midweek and Saturday day games, but fans told us Saturday night is a better opportunity," said DePaoli, inside his office overlooking Citi Field.
Sundays are being pegged as family days, with family fun planned for the plaza outside the park and kids being allowed to run the bases during the "Mr. Met Dash" after every Sunday game.
Mets attendance has declined for five consecutive seasons, during which the team has averaged a .462 winning percentage. Last season, the Mets averaged 26,696 a game while going 74-88 for the second straight year.
"On-field performance is critical, of course," DePaoli said, "but also, maybe we just haven't been giving fans the right value proposition."
The Mets also are augmenting their sales and marketing staff, adding three sales positions and two service positions, plus 10 additional ticket sales positions, and building an in-house group to generate analytics around ticket sales and sponsorship ROI.

MFA Financial ( MFA) Company Profile : New York City-based MFA Financial is engaged in the business of investing, on a leveraged basis, in residential Agency and Non-Agency ARM-MBS. MFA Financial raised its quarterly payout by 4.4% to 23.5 cents per share. The dividend will be paid on Jan. 31, 2011 to stockholders of record on Dec. 31, bringing MFA's yield to around 11.5%. Credit Suisse analysts recently downgraded shares of MFA Financial to neutral from an outperform rating. The equity research firm set an $8 price target on the stock, and cited its downgrade based on valuation. MFA's hiked dividend marked the real estate investment trust 's increase of its shareholder payout this fall. On Oct. 1 MFA Financial raised its dividend by 18.4% to 22.5 cents per share . That dividend was paid on Oct. 29. >>14 REITs Increasing Dividends Annually In a research note earlier in December, Sterne Agee analyst Henry Coffey argued that concessions on so called "mortgage putbacks" by Bank of America ( BAC) could negatively impact Capital One ( COF), which, like Bank of America, has exposure "tied to mortgages originated and sold by units of acquired companies, not originally under its control." On the other hand, Coffey saw potential positives for Chimera ( CIM) and MFA, since the pair may be able to win concessions in disputes over MBS they bought from banks. Coffey cautioned, however, the issue is "still a long way off and hard to quantify." Prev 6 of 11 Next

Mix: iTunes UK, Nokia, iFuntastic, iCar
Some iTunes Store users in the UK are angry over the pricing of recently-added TV episodes, which sell for £1.89 each. Other UK video download services sell TV episodes for 99-pence each, roughly half the price of iTunes. Jupiter Research analyst Mark Mulligan said, "I wouldn't be surprised if they (Apple) had to change their prices soon: we're in a situation where everything is always more expensive in Britain."
A video showing a Symbian OS-based, iPhone-like touch screen interface from Nokia has been posted to YouTube. When asked about the similarity to the iPhone, Anssi Vanjoki, Nokia's Executive VP & General Manager of Multimedia, said, "If there is something good in the world then we copy with pride."
iPhone modification utility iFuntastic has been updated to version 3. The new version includes Power PC support, a "permanent jailbreak" tool called Unshackling, and more. [via TUAW]
A Volkswagen spokesman has confirmed a meeting between Apple CEO Steve Jobs and VW chief Martin Winterkorn to discuss the possibility of placing Apple products into a new automobile, which some have labeled the "iCar." Hans-Gerd Bode, the spokesman for VW, claims there are "scores of ideas," but few concrete plans at this point.

My husband and I have gone a couple of times for lunch while our vehicle was being serviced at the Nissan dealership. Lunch was spot on both times. The spicy yellow rice (Jamaican Rice?) was amazing!
Stopped by here for lunch whilst in the middle of a wet shopping day. Amazing variety of wing flavours to try. Our favourites so far are the Gold Rush and the Garlic Parmesan Buffalo. Also thought the garlic and Parmesan broccoli was delicious. Great menu, good portion size and reasonable prices. Will definitely return just to try out a few... 更多
From entrance to exit, all is well. Nice atmosphere, extensive menu, much more than the huge variety of wings and sauces. Lots to choose from. This is a real treat for smoked fish dip lovers like me. Excellent flavor and, served fresh with large chips and then ladle on the fresh chopped red onion, tomatoes, jalapenos, served with celery stalks.... 更多
Sevice was great, food was great. Large selection of menu items and the staff is very accommodating.
A typical wing and grill menu but with a lot of flavor options. Tilapia with shrimp, wings, and fried pickles all exceeded our expectations. The service was top notch. I definitely recommend.
Stopped in after a long travel day. Waiter was personable but not very attentive. They seemed to be out of some random items: clean appetizer plates, "those little seeds they put on the shrimp", one of the draft beers on the menu, and apparently we got the last bottle of Budweiser in the place because he had to "dig around... 更多
Group of us meet there / great average place / no issues / waitress was very attentive to all of our requests
Good service, nice variety of wings. Good prices. Not a ton of beer on tap (for that sort of place), but enough. Fries were better than average for a wing joint.
New restaurant located in the middle of Florida. Food was very good. Salads were large and fresh. Offers everything from burgers to main entrees. Service was prompt and good. You can also season your food with a variety of seasoning ; mild to super hot.
Visited Hurricanes Grill and Wings a couple of weeks ago with 2 other couples and we were all happy with our menu selections. This was around 3:30 pm on a week day. Our waitress was very personable which helped to contribute to our dining experience. We all agree that we will be returning.

Do you consider there is a link between the situation around Iran and the problem of settling the legal status of the Caspian Sea? Does the first problem complicate the settlement of the second one?
Undoubtedly. Whatever they say, there is a link between them. Certainly, the Iranian problem is now key for the whole region of Middle East. And certainly in the global sense this is a great problem in the relations between Russia and its neighbors, Russia and the United States, Russia and the EU.
That is, in fact, this is one of the serious global problems which is in the center of attention in any case and at any forum, be it the UN, the upcoming NATO summit in Lisbon and certainly this problem is on the agenda of the Caspian summit anyway.
And what about the impact of another regional problem-instability in the North and South Caucasus on the resolution of the Caspian issue, is there a link here?
Certainly, I think the events in the North and South Caucasus naturall influence the overall situation in the region and Russia's positions in this region. Naturally we see the increased attention of Moscow to getting the support of the Caspian states in its policy in Chechnya, related to growth of terrorism in the North Caucasus. We should also not forget Georgia's problem, as one of the key problems of the Russian foreign policy, which is a subject of a dialogue between Russia and its partners in the region and certainly, no one removes the Karabakh problem from the agenda.
Do you believe in the soonest possible progress in the resolution of the Karabakh conflict?
I think here all those efforts Russia has been taking actively in the past years, especially under the leadership of President Medvedev will not pass traceless. I would like to remind that Medvedev has already held several meetings with Presidents Aliyev and Sargsyan in attempt to reconcile the positions of the parties. I think this is a reflection of Russia's growing interest to this region and the overall attempt to draw a contrast between Russia's active role and US and Turkey's attempts to raise their influence in this region.
Do you think Russia perceives Turkey's intensification in our region as competition?
Certainly. I think Russia is very concerned with the fact that Turkey is playing a greater role in the South Caucasus and Central Asia where it undertakes political, economic and in most cases-cultural and humanitarian expansion. On the whole, Russia's elite perceives this as an attempt to weaken Russia's traditional ties with its partners on the post-Soviet area, by creating a new structure of relations which would weaken Russia's influence on the southern perimeter of its borders.

If you are concerned about your privacy online, social media is inevitably going to throw a couple of hurdles in your path. In its basic form, the social web encourages sharing and broader engagement that can translate to a much looser control over your private interactions and your personal information online.
Every day we use our favourite social media channel to communicate, engage, and to maintain our relationships with friends, family, and colleagues. We also use the social web as a source of information when we are looking for answers.
Think about it — social media has been integrated into our daily lives, and it is now as simple as picking up your smartphone, starting up your favourite social application, and sharing an update to your network. With the ease of access, and our continuous involvement with social media, think carefully about your social media engagement approach.
Controlling your privacy on social media requires awareness and education about the permissions you assign to your public profile on the various social media channels that you are using. This is important because the social web is public, and everything you share and post on this medium leaves a permanent record of your interaction. Here are a couple of tips on how to keep your social media profiles private.
1.Adjust the privacy settings manually
On each social media channel you use, adjust your privacy settings manually. Social media engagement and privacy are two different things. Allowing a social media medium or third-party app to access your social media profile can compromise your data, and personal information. Review all the apps you are giving permission to access your data such as login apps, useful tools, and games.
2. Change profile passwords on a regular basis
Don't use low security passwords such as your dog's name, family name, or your favourite movie star. Use a combination of symbols, letters, and numbers.
Try to use a separate password for each social media channel that you are using rather than only one. Adding more complexity to your passwords will make "hacking" your account more difficult.
3. Use separate email addresses
Use separate email addresses for your personal social media profiles and your business profiles. This will help you keep your personal profiles separate from your business profiles. This is important even if you have a small business. Regardless of your company's social media guidelines, don't use your business email address for your personal interaction on the social web.
4. Always logout your social media applications
When you are not using Facebook on your iPad, log out of your session. This may seem like an extra step you should undertake, but it can keep sneaky eyes from viewing your information.
If any of your mobile devices get stolen, will the thieves be able to access your social media profiles and view your personal information? You can also add a password to your mobile device so that if your device gets lost, no one will be able to unlock it without the proper password.
5. Social media is public
The web is public and anything on a social media channel can go public regardless if you want it to or not. You never know when new privacy policy settings can happen. Despite the best intentions that the social media channel that you are using might have, your content can become public.
Carefully consider what your employer,for instance, would think if they saw that party photo of you or an embarrassing update. This goes beyond your privacy settings, and use your common sense when posting that new update.
6. Location based applications
When checking in with Facebook or your favourite location-based application, be careful who you share this information with. Location based applications advertise where you are at a given time. This enables others to keep track of where you are and what you can be doing at a specific location.
While it is crucial to be wary about your privacy on the social web and what you are sharing with others, it is almost impossible to keep all of your private information under your control. Someone that really wants to get access to your information can get it. It is not only about what you post and update, it is about what others share as well.
Privacy is dead, and social media hold the smoking gun

"Hunter" is essentially a science fiction horror story. Radiation spread by a nuclear war in 2001 caused mutations that gave some humans paranormal powers, leading to wars between unchanged humans and mutant humans (recast as "demons" by the superstitious unchanged). Demian Hunter is the spawn of an unchanged woman who is raped by the demons who murdered her husband. The half-human, half-demon Hunter dedicates himself to the eradication of demons who survived the demonwars.
In the first two stories, Rich Margopoulos tries too hard to be eloquent, creating instead dialog and narrative that comes across as stilted. He simplifies his prose in the third story and, not coincidentally, tells a much stronger tale. Budd Lewis writes the fourth story, apparently trying to emulate the style of the first two. The final two stories of "Hunter I" are written by Bill DuBay. They feature the best writing in the first series. DuBay created a triumphant finish to the series as Hunter seeks revenge against his demon father.
Except the series wasn't finished. Whether due to popular demand or because the Eerie writers couldn't come up with another character, Hunter was resurrected in "Hunter II." The new story begins twenty years after "Hunter I." The Earth is about to die but a scientist/wizard babbles a plan about creating a new "time shell" that will save it.Read more ›
One of these was the interesting Hunter series, set in a post-apocalyptic future. The character was striking: wearing what seemed to be an USAF flight helmet and flight suit (but with a loin cloth). He was Damien Hunter, a half-breed scout (human and 'demon', not white and Indian), who fought the 'demon' hordes of the future. He has coppery skin and yellow eyes. From the artwork, I always thought he was a downed fighter pilot.
We learned that the series seemed to be set in the 21st century (when, not certain), after atomic wars created a race of mutants called 'demons' who wanted to destroy humans. The US fought against them, but seems to have collapsed into a medieval society. But Hunter fought on.
The Hunter series ran thru Eerie #52-57 (later the series was reprinted completely in Eerie #69), the last story running in color (tho reprinted here in b/w). In the story we see him fighting demons, explaining his background, before the final episodes where he faced his demon father and killed him, after dying himself. The character Schreck, who appeared in his own series in Eerie also appeared in that last story, with the demons apparently wiped out.
But then we get Hunter II.Read more ›

EDITORIAL: Wave goodbye to Internet freedom
Washington Times Editorial
Out of house news story
Posted on LT for informational and research purposes only
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is poised to add the Internet to its portfolio of regulated industries. The agency's chairman,Julius Genachowski, announced Wednesday that he circulated draft rules he says will "preserve the freedom and openness of the Internet." No statement could better reflect the gulf between the rhetoric and the reality of Obama administration policies.
With a straight face, Mr. Genachowski suggested that government red tape will increase the "freedom" of online services that have flourished because bureaucratic busybodies have been blocked from tinkering with the Web. Ordinarily, it would be appropriate at this point to supply an example from the proposed regulations illustrating the problem. Mr. Genachowski's draft document has over 550 footnotes and is stamped "non-public, for internal use only" to ensure nobody outside the agency sees it until the rules are approved in a scheduled Dec. 21 vote. So much for "openness." Click here to read the rest of this article.
"Former senior White House correspondent renews venom [against Israel and the Jews] at Arab conference"
Drew Zahn
WorldNet Daily
Helen Thomas, the former "dean" of the White House Press Corps who lost her position over a string of anti-Semitic comments, has spoken out again, this time claiming Hollywood, the White House, Wall Street and other American institutions are "owned by the Zionists" with an anti-Arab agenda.
In a speech to the Arab Detroit workshop on anti-Arab bias at the Byblos Banquet Center in Dearborn, Mich., yesterday, Thomas addressed "the whole question of money involved in politics."
"We are owned by propagandists against the Arabs. There's no question about that," Thomas said, according to a Detroit Free Press report. "Congress, the White House and Hollywood, Wall Street, are owned by the Zionists. No question in my opinion. They put their money where their mouth. We're being pushed into a wrong direction in every way."
In an interview with the newspaper afterward, Thomas further said that "Arabs are not terrorists," but instead blamed the 1977-elected Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin for "creating the modus operandi for terrorists."
Thomas was a correspondent with United Press International for 57 years, an opinion columnist with Hearst Newspapers for 10 years and the senior White House reporter, covering every president since Eisenhower, until damaging comments earlier this year pushed her to retirement.
Thomas resigned in June after telling a rabbi on camera that Israelis should "get the h— out of Palestine" and "go home" to "Poland, Germany and America and everywhere else." Click here to continue reading.
A Farewell to a Fellow Defender of the Faith – His Life, A Challenge to Believers
On October 24th, Gary Turnbull, a Lighthouse Trails and Understand the Times friend and defender of the faith, passed on to his eternal home in glory. Many of you may have known him. Gary continually spent his life encouraging the saints and often attended conferences where truth was being defended and proclaimed. Gary's family asked Roger Oakland to speak at Gary's memorial service. Whether you knew Gary or not, we think you will find Roger's remarks quite challenging and thought-provoking.
Gary Turnbull Memorial – November 27, 2010
by Roger Oakland
It is an honor and a blessing to be asked by Gary Turnbull's family to share a few words at his memorial. As this is the first time that I have spoken to a public forum since May of 2009, I hope you will forgive me for reading most of what I want to share rather than speaking spontaneously.
Gary and I were friends from the moment we first met when he came forward to speak with me at a conference I was speaking at in Chino Hills, August of 2005. Gary seemed excited about the message God had given me that day to warn the church about end times apostasy.
From that time on we corresponded by e-mail and phone. He seemed to have the gift of calling me at the right time to encourage and lift me out of a deep hole. I did not know until yesterday that he was just two months younger than me. He seemed to me like he had had a life time of experience. His life was dedicated to exposing deception and promoting God's Word. He often told me how lonely he was after his wife had gone to be with Jesus.
Gary introduced me to members of his family on several occasions. His heart was to educate friends and relatives regarding the validity of Scripture. While at times, some would consider him bold and outspoken, I never did.
I remember from our conversations how much Gary loved God's Word. This was something he discovered later in his life. When he found Christ, he never looked back. He quickly discovered how the Bible was the answer for understanding our times and sometimes confront Christian leaders and tell them what he saw happening and where apostasy was headed…..
Gary often went on weekend excursions to learn more about what the Bible said about end times, particularly Israel. I am sure he traveled to nearly every conference there was where the speakers were willing to stand up for Israel and confront end times apostasy in the church. I remember I saw him in Bend, OR, Syracuse, NY, Charlotte, NC, Chino Hills and Washington DC all in one year. He would call me and tell me about the churches that he had attended, some good, some not so good. When the pastors were on their way to becoming Purpose Driven, he would quietly move on or find a home Bible study where like-minded friends would study God's Word together.
On one occasion when I was on my way to London, England, in DC., Gary was more than willing to give me a tour of the White House, Smithsonian Institute, Washington Mall all in one morning. We even took in the ceremony when the Delhi Lama was on the steps of Congress just before he was to receive the Congressional Award for being a Tibetan Holy Man on American soil. While it was interesting, Gary and I were appalled.
If I were to use the Scriptures to share with you what Gary believed, it would take too long for the time we have been allotted. However, I would like to mention a few like these:
- I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord the righteous Judge, will give me on that Day, and not to me only but to all who loved His appearing. Gary could see the finish line. This was one of his unique gifts.
- For by Grace you have been saved through faith, and not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Gary believed in the grace of God – a big God and a very small man – he did not support those who claimed they were doing the work of God but were caught up in deception. Gary, because of his gifts, had tremendous discernment and understood Satan's plan for man was in direct opposition to the truth.
- One Psalm that Gary always quoted was also one of my own favorites. In Psalms 118, David wrote: From my distress I called upon the name of the Lord; The Lord answered me and set me in a large place. The Lord is for me and I shall not fear; what can man do to me?… It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.
These verses are only a few that give a glimpse of Gary's life and his love for friends, relatives, and life. What I remember most about Gary can best be described by a portion of a transcript of a radio program that Gary inspired. This is how it goes:
The book of Jude is the shortest book in the Bible. However, we shouldn't judge its brevity as a means of determining its importance in the canon of God's Word. As well, Jude appears to be a preface to the book of Revelation. What should that tell us?
The book of Revelation is the final book of the Bible. While there is a growing popular view among professing Christians that the book of Revelation describes historic events that have already occurred, there is a remnant that belong to the camp of believers who claim that many of the prophecies it contains are soon to be fulfilled.
The language that John used to describe the supernatural vision given to him by God, foretells a judgment that lies just around the corner. This can be fully understood in light of the current events that are unfolding.
Further, remember the pattern of Scripture – when man chooses apostasy rather than being obedient to God, God warns and then brings judgment. It can be documented that apostasy is underway today on a global scale. Will God change His mind and ignore it? Not according to His past record.
Then there is another important factor. Prophecy, like history, has a way of repeating itself. Events foretold by the biblical Old Testament prophets often had a twofold fulfillment – a near or partial fulfillment in the times in which they lived and then also a final fulfillment that occurred at another time in history.
So, what did Jude's warning mean to the church then, and what does it means now? Jude wrote his letter as a wake up call to the early church. The apostasy Jude was addressing, underway then, would only intensify. Jude was appealing to the church to "earnestly contend for the faith." This was the faith that was "once and for all delivered" to the saints.
No additions and nor deletions were allowed. The faith was THE FAITH.
It was also evident that Jude was urgently calling for action. Sitting on the sidelines was not allowed. As Jesus said, if you were not for Him you were against Him. Standing up for the faith is not an option – it is obligatory.
Now, here is the point. If Jude was calling the church to action and to contend for the faith then, what about his message being relevant for the church today – to do the same thing?
As we examine the language Jude used to wake up and warn the early church, there are some incredible parallels with regard to what is happening right now world wide.
It was Gary's conviction that the book of Jude is the message the church needs to hear today. While many are saying, such a message is too negative and Christians should only be known for what they are for and not what they are against, Gary could not and would not support ecumenical jargon that leads to a one world religion in the name of Jesus.
Remember, following the book of Jude is the book of Revelation. You see, it fits the pattern.
Gary planned on warning the church no matter what the critics said.
Something tells me (the current events) that it won't be long now. Can you hear the trumpet blowing?
Gary, as many of you know, was greeted by Jesus when he departed this earth for His heavenly home. Jesus would have said, come up here my friend. I have a place prepared for you. Your work here on earth is complete. You are a good and faithful servant. Well done! You have finished the race.
Pray….. and John 3: 16a
The family wreath for Gary's memorial has my favorite Scripture draped over it. This was the first thing I noticed when Myrna and I walked into the church. This was the verse that my dad had written in the front of my Bible when I was 9 years old.
Although I memorized this verse as a child in Sunday School, it became real to me on the day I was saved, one February night in my living room in our home in Canada where I grew up. I read the verse in the very same room where my Dad wrote it in my Bible. The photo of my Dad sitting in a chair in that room with the Bible next to him is how I remember him the most.
I know that if Gary was here he would want me to conclude my message this way using John: 3:16. I had already prepared this conclusion in my notes.
Jesus died for you, right? John 3: 16 summarizes the Bible in one verse: "For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believes in Him shall NOT perish, but have everlasting life = the gospel in one verse.
Think about that!
Jesus died for you. It is all about Him. He died for you… so that if you confess your sins with your mouth and believe on Him in your heart that God raised Him from the dead…. You WILL be SAVED?
I thank the Turnbull family for giving me this opportunity to share from my heart in memory of a very dear friend who is now absent from the body, but present with the Lord.
Contemplative Wheaton College Receives Special Honor From Tony Blair's Interfaith Movement
From Sun-Times Media
The Wheaton Sun
An out of house news source
Intended for informational and research purposes only, not as an endorsement
The Tony Blair Faith Foundation has announced that Wheaton College has become the first American Associate University of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation's Faith and Globalization Initiative.
The Faith and Globalization Initiative is driven forward by a network of lead universities on every continent which undertake academic teaching and research to develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between faith and globalization.
The results help emerging leaders understand how faith motivates people, and analyzes the impact of religion on the modern world, according to foundation officials.
Drawing from the courses already developed by the current lead universities, Wheaton College, as an associate member of the initiative, will develop its own version of the course, approaching the topic of faith and globalization in accordance with the unique perspectives and traditions of the university.
Its participation will challenge thinking and ensure that the research and teaching of the faith and globalization course around the world maintains great depth, variety and quality, foundation leaders said.
The Faith and Globalization Initiative's Lead Universities network includes Durham University in the United Kingdom, McGill University, the National University of Singapore, Peking University, University of Sierra Leone, Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico, the University of Western Australia and Yale.

UK Observer: "Blair courts controversial US pastor Rick Warren in bid to unite faiths"
AP: Illinois House approves civil unions for homosexual couples
By CHRISTOPHER WILLS
– The Associated Press
Out of house news story
SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers took a step toward offering legal recognition to gay couples Tuesday when the House narrowly voted to create civil unions that would carry some of the benefits and obligations of marriage.
Supporters presented it as an issue of basic fairness. Opponents argued it moves Illinois closer to legalizing same-sex marriages.
Democrats broke into applause after the 61-52 vote was final, giving the bill's sponsor a standing ovation.
"It's a matter of fairness. It's a matter of respect. It's a matter of equality," said the sponsor, Rep. Greg Harris, D-Chicago.
State Reps. Robert Pritchard, R-Hinckley, and Ron Wait, R-Belvidere, voted against the measure, according to a vote total posted on the Illinois Legislature's website. Both of their respective legislative districts include parts of DeKalb County.
Pritchard, who described the debate on the House floor Tuesday as thoughtful and emotional, said the issue comes down to what people feel are impacts on religious values. Click here to continue reading.
The Second Great Evangelical Meltdown – The False Picture: Unmasking "Postmodernism"
by Richard Nathan
The Meltdown Series: This article is the second in a series about ongoing sea changes in Evangelicalism today. The series utilizes Scripture and church history in an attempt to clarify those issues that are tending to weaken, break down, and misdirect Evangelicalism. Even though the effects are obvious, the forces behind these changes are not. [See Part 1]
Paul's hopes "that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Colossians 2:2-3
The last article in this series laid a basic groundwork for understanding the current state of Evangelicalism. Many Christian leaders are saying that the crisis in Evangelicalism is the rising up of a new factor called postmodernism. This postmodern challenge is the reason they give for why the Church has to change and become more like the world. This article addresses that view and shows how it really misses the mark.
Pop Postmodernism
Nowadays the concept of "postmodernism" is in the air. It's become almost a mantra to say something like "We're entering a new period of culture surpassingly different from anything that came before." Everyone talks about it, but any attempt to define it is an exercise in futility because postmodernism as a movement actually opposes definition. It's like trying to define the indefinable (or trying to describe a doughnut hole)—yet ironically scholars use the term all the time.
Many intellectuals and some church leaders are saying that a word like "truth" that is supposed to apply in all times and in all ways is basically a way of thinking that is a product of the Enlightenment.(i) I intend to show that this is a distortion of the Bible and of history.
In actual fact, the concept of postmodernism is a faddish way of thinking and a kind of cartoon picture of history—a Marxist cartoon.
Here's why.
First of all, the hidden heart of the concept of postmodernism is Marxism, which has always had a materialistic-historical focus that evaluates history on the basis of economics, technology, and class struggle. This will become clear as I explain the idea and influence of deconstructionism a little later.
Second, postmoderns say that all learning and knowledge are culture-bound. They describe the Enlightenment period as focused upon Rationalism,(ii) where abstract universal terms like "mankind," "freedom," etc. were used to explain reality. Postmoderns assume that these terms have a built-in limitation because they supposedly refer to everyone rather than to specific cultures, classes, groups, etc. Thus they think there could be no such thing as a universal guilt or salvation because that doesn't take into account the individual or separate groups.

Bigotry and Hate of Southern Poverty Law Center Reaches New Depths
LTRP Note: Please also read our 2009 posting, Christian Organizations Falsely Labeled 'Hate' Groups
Courtesy CrossTalk Blog with Ingrid Schlueter
VISTA, Calif., Nov. 24, 2010 /Christian Newswire/ — The Southern Poverty Law Center has released a new list of "hate groups" that includes many highly regarded, mainstream Christian organizations because of their opposition to homosexuality.
"The Southern Poverty Law Center has utterly discredited themselves by this provocative attack on organizations that promote traditional family values," said Rev. Gary L. Cass, of DefendChristians.Org, a ministry of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission.
"Labeling mainstream conservative organizations as 'Hate groups' is defamatory and is simply an intimidation tactic. We call on Congress to cut off their funding."
"Defend Christians.Org will work to form a coalition of organizations to lobby Congress to withhold funds from SPLC. We will also demand Congress restrict Federal law enforcement from relying on the biased SPLC reports, like the discredited 'Report on Right-Wing Extremism' SPLC wrote for the Department of Homeland Security," said Cass.
"The SPLC has been reduced to a far left propaganda organization that uses hype and hysteria to enrich a few liberal attorneys at taxpayer expense and has long out lived its usefulness," said Cass.
The new SPLC "Hate Group" list has eighteen organizations including large, mainstream ministries like the American Family Association, Concerned Women for America, Coral Ridge Ministries, Liberty Council, Family Research Council, Traditional Values Coalition and the National Organization for Marriage.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/05/13 -- The Talent Board, a non-profit organization focused on the promotion and elevation of the candidate experience, today announced the release of its recent research, "Candidate Experience 2012." The white paper is based on data collected during the organization's second annual Candidate Experience Awards (known as "the CandEs") and provides insight into candidates' evolving expectations and employers' practices -- both exceptional and lacking -- during the recruiting, screening and hiring processes.
Now completing its second year, the CandEs has grown considerably since the inaugural contest in 2011, having drawn a larger number of participating organizations, candidates and sponsors and expanding to the U.K. While the 2011 CandEs attracted 57 companies and seven sponsors, the 2012 contest attracted 90 participating organizations and 18 sponsors. Additionally, the 2012 CandEs research was based on more than 17,500 candidate surveys, compared to 11,500 candidate surveys in 2011. The year-over-year results show that the candidate experience is valuable to both employers and candidates, and that employers are taking notice and working to improve the candidate experience they deliver to their candidates.
Some key findings of the research include:
- More than half of candidates surveyed indicated a positive relationship with the company prior to applying, and those who perceive an existing relation with an employer were 20 percent more likely to be hired.
- Candidates are strongly engaged through connections on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Google+ to advance their career search.
- The theoretical 'black hole,' where no status or notification is ever given, seems to be a decreasing practice among firms that competed for the 2012 CandEs.
- Two thirds of employers still hold back from surveying their candidates at recruiting steps prior to the final evaluation phase. These employers are missing out on a meaningful opportunity to better understand their processes and the impact that they have on the candidate experience.
- More than half of candidates surveyed indicated they are 'likely' or 'very likely' to tell their inner circle of friends about their experiences, whether it is positive or negative.
- A growing and significant number of respondents are willing to share their positive and negative experiences with a much wider audience through blogs, Facebook and other social platforms.
"The 2012 Candidate Experience Awards research shows that recruitment processes are undergoing an evolution, with more employers recognizing the need to improve how candidates are treated every step of the way," said Elaine Orler, chairman and co-founder of The Talent Board. "As candidates have more platforms than ever to voice their experiences, leading employers have taken a concerted effort to bring more transparency and active communication to their interactions with candidates."
She continued, "The Talent Board is very pleased with the strong growth of the CandEs and the increasing interest companies have shown in improving their candidate experience. We are proud to recognize the 90 organizations that participated in the 2012 benchmarking program and the 37 CandE Award winners for helping us elevate and advance the candidate experience. We are prepared for an even greater number of companies participating in the 2013 CandEs."
The CandE Awards program was established to evaluate the way in which employers and candidates engage during the recruiting process. Through three rounds of evaluation, the Talent Board collected data on how each participating company produces its candidate experience while enabling them to confidentially benchmark their hiring practices. Companies' reported data was evaluated against collected candidate survey feedback for an accurate review of candidate experience.
The "Candidate Experience 2012" white paper is co-authored by Orler, Gerry Crispin, principal and co-founder of CareerXroads, Joseph P. Murphy, vice president and co-founder of Shaker Consulting Group, Inc., and Ed Newman, vice president of strategy for iMomentous.
The 2013 Candidate Experience Awards will open this spring to all recruiting operations based in North America and the United Kingdom. Participation is confidential and free.
"The Candidate Experience 2012" is available for download at: www.thecandidateexperienceawards.org/download-the-2012-report.
About The Talent Board
The Talent Board is a non-profit organization focused on the elevation and promotion of a quality candidate experience. The organization, awards program and its sponsors are dedicated to recognizing the candidate experience offered by companies throughout the entire recruitment cycle and to forever changing the manner in which job candidates are treated.

FAZIOLI Pianos are joining the world-class
Sydney International Piano Competition of Australia
July 6 to 23, 2016
In a recent announcement, all rounds of the 2016 Sydney International Piano Competition of Australia will be Live Streamed to a worldwide audience.
The Live Streaming of all rounds, including the Opening Gala Concert, will be free and the stream will be able to be accessed on this website on the day of the first concert:
(starting on July 6th, 7:30pm, AEST)
If you are interested in finding more about the Opening Concert programme, please visit:
FAZIOLI is included in the line-up of four alternative instruments to be used during the 2016 competition, the first four rounds of which will be held in the lovely Verbrugghen Hall at the Sydney Conservatorium, the final two concerto rounds in the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall, accompanied by the Sydney Symphony. A number of changes to the competition was conceived by Artistic Director Piers Lane AO, in format and repertoire. One of them is about the way the pianos will be used, in order to make the competition as fair as possible to everybody involved. The four piano brands to be used during the competition will be Yamaha, Fazioli, Kawai and Steinway. There will be 32 competitors and they will be divided into four groups of eight. The piano brand names were put into a hat: the first drawn out is Yamaha, that will be the first piano to be used in Round 1. Therefore, the first eight competitors will play that instrument, the next eight the next piano alphabetically on the list, FAZIOLI, the next eight Kawai and the final eight players Steinway. All competitors also play Round 2, so in that round, the first eight pianists will play the second piano on their list (in alphabetical order of brand names), the next eight their next piano etc. By the end of the first two rounds, which all 32 competitors play, all four pianos will have been heard totally equally and all competitors will have played on two different pianos.
Twelve competitors will be selected to play in the semifinals, which will consist of one 65 minutes-long recital and a separate concert of chamber music. The players will go on to play the third and fourth pianos on their list. Then for the two concertos in the finals, the six finalists will be allowed to play whichever piano or pianos they choose for the two concertos (one eighteenth-century, one Romantic/Modern) having won through to that final stage by playing all four pianos in the preceding four rounds.
It happens always more frequently to meet FAZIOLI pianos at major international competitions. The Italian concert grands have already appeared more than once at the "Chopin" Competition in Warsaw, the "Tchaikovsky" Competition in Moscow, the "Rubinstein" Competition in Tel Aviv and the "Honens" in Calgary.
Now, great expectation is growing around the next adventure: FAZIOLI pianos are landing for the very first time at the prestigious Sydney International Piano Competition (from July 6th to 23rd).
FAZIOLI immediately accepted the invitation coming months ago from the Artistic Director of the Competition, Maestro Pierce Lane AO, to join the team of four piano makers that will support the several steps of the competition, which will see the finest young pianists from around the globe travel to Sydney.
This internationally renowned contest, considered one of the world's great piano competitions, takes place every four years and has experienced record growth in 2016 with 283 nominees – nearly doubling the previous field of applicants in 2012 – which sets the bar incredibly high for the pre-selections.
During the Competition, FAZIOLI will operate through its Australian Dealer, Zenith Music, and the best local FAZIOLI technicians (Mr. David Kinney assisted by Mr. Paul Tunzi). Representatives of the FAZIOLI team will be coming from Europe as well.
The concert grand F278 destined to be on stage for the Competition has already been selected at the factory and will leave Italy by the middle of May.

FAZIOLI has been producing grand and concert grand pianos since 1981. Passion for music and scientific knowledge, artisanship of the highest level, a firm commitment to technological research and strict selection of the finest materials: these are the main elements required for the production of a Fazioli piano.
The Fazioli factory is located in Sacile, 60 Km (35 miles) northeast of Venice, in northeastern Italy, an area renowned for its ancient and prestigious tradition in woodworking.
Sophisticated manufacturing techniques, cutting-edge technology, woods of the highest quality and first-rate components are used by the Fazioli technicians, a group of highly qualified and committed artisans, who work passionately each day to create their works of art. The entire production process, from the initial material selection to the finished product, takes approximately three years and 1000 hours of highly specialized artisan work.
As reported by "The Economist" in 2003, FAZIOLI pianos are considered by many pianists to be among the best pianos in the world. Indeed, an ever-increasing number of internationally renowned artists are choosing Fazioli pianos in concert halls, conservatories, competitions, and recording studios worldwide.
Today, production fluctuates between 130 and 140 units per year and the manufacturing facilities are now under work of expansion. The ongoing cooperation with prestigious university institutes on research and development projects is testament to the company's continuous commitment to the improvement of its products.
Fazioli refuses to impose any kind of limitations on Artists, convinced that they should have the freedom to choose on which instrument to play, based purely on the belief that it is the best vehicle to express their talent. For this reason, Fazioli has always been opposed to signing exclusivity contracts with artists, preferring instead to establish reciprocal partnerships for the sake of upholding artistic standards, which should always take precedence over commercial considerations.
The famous Juilliard School, New York, has recently bought a Fazioli concert piano. For the first time this institution – which is considered among the most important in the world for high-level musical training – has broken the monopoly it had with another historic brand for more than 80 years. The FAZIOLI pianos are on stage also at prestigious Theatres, as the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, the Palace of Arts in Budapest, the Beijing Grand Theatre in China, to mention just few of them. The Fazioli "institutions' list" includes a remarkable number of schools, like the Paris Conservatoire, the Music Departments at the Universities of Vienna, Graz and Salzburg, the Colburn School in Los Angeles and many others. The Purcell School in London has been nominated as the first "FAZIOLI Centre of Excellence", as it is provided with FAZIOLI pianos in its performance rooms.
Since June 2011, each Fazioli piano is built saving 1 ton of carbon dioxide thanks to the use of electricity produced by the new photovoltaic system installed on the roof of the Fazioli factory.
The works for the expansion of the piano manufacturing facilities are on the way to be completed, in order to almost double the production area and reach the goal of 150-170 pianos per year in the future.

After some debate (and very poorly adjudicated voting - sorry) we will be reading The Chemistry of Tears by Peter Carey for our next book.
Some of us will also be reading The Enchanted April too which was a close second in the voting and free e-book through the Gutenberg Project as well as Amazon Kindle.
Here's the blurb for The Chemistry of Tears:
London 2011, Catherine Gehrig, conservator at the Swinburne museum, learns of the unexpected death of her lover of thirteen years. As the mistress of a married man she has to grieve in private. Given a special project away from prying eyes and mad with grief, the usually controlled and rational Catherine discovers a series of handwritten notebooks telling the extraordinary story behind the automata she is restoring.
She starts to piece together both the clockwork puzzle and the story of the mechanical creature which was commissioned in 19th century Germany by an English man, Henry Brandling, as a 'magical amusement' for his consumptive son. Having been asked to leave his home by his wife, Henry turns his hurtful departure into an adventure that he records for his young child. But it is Catherine Gehrig, in a strangely stormy and overheated London nearly two hundred years later, who will find comfort and wonder in reading Henry's story. And it is the automata, in its beautiful, uncanny imitation of life, that will link two strangers confronted with the mysteries of life and death, the miracle and catastrophe of human invention and the body's astonishing chemistry of love and feeling.
And the blurb for The Enchanted April:
A discreet advertisement in 'The Times', addressed to 'Those who Apppreciate Wisteria and Sunshine...' is the impetus for a revelatory month for four very different women. High above the bay on the Italian Riviera stands San Salvatore, a mediaeval castle. Beckoned to this haven are Mrs. Wilkins, Mrs Arbuthnot, Mrs Fisher and Lady Caroline Dester, each quietly craving a respite. Lulled by the Mediterranean spirit, they gradually shed their skins and discover a harmony each of them has longed for but never known.
First published in 1922 and reminscient of 'Elizabeth and her German Garden', this delightful novel is imbued with the descriptive power and light-hearted irreverence for which Elizabeth von Arnin is renowned.
