Honestly personal call to evangelism
April 22 2015
This review is from:
Honest Evangelism: How to talk about Jesus even when it's tough (Paperback)
If there is anything that gets most Christians nervous, it's the topic of evangelism. We get distracted, apathetic, preoccupied, fearful or overwhelmed. Rico Tice seems to come alongside and say I know what you are feeling, I feel it too. Rico Tice's approach to evangelism in "Honest Evangelism: How to Talk about Jesus even when it's tough", is the approach of a friend that knows how you feel. His work is the most honest approach to evangelism that I've read. It's not a technical, expositional, historical, or case study approach. It's one mans fears and hopes for evangelism, shared with the rest of us.
His first words of admitting evangelism is hard, puts us on the footing of work that is ahead. Yet almost immediately, he provides a biblical hope in the task.
In his first chapter Rico shows how believers are already equipped to share the gospel. He warns of the inevitable hostility that people will exhibit and it is that hostility that he sees as the main reason why people don't do evangelism. What seems to be a helpful element in each chapter is showing how within the problem lies the pathway to the solution: "The same rising tide of secularism and materialism that rejects truth claims and is offended by absolute moral standards is proving to be an empty and hollow way to live". The interesting dichotomy that he presents in our task is how it is "more and more likely to find people quietly hungering for the content of the gospel, even as our culture teaches them to be hostile towards it"
Knowing what to expect, in the second chapter Rico presents a helpful mindset to present the gospel: "talk to people about Jesus because we want to, long to, and are excited to, even though it's tough". The reality of the consequences of hell provide the antithesis to delight.
Lest we get too far a this point, Rico provides a helpful idol inventory in chapter three, that might be getting in the way of our evangelism. Chapter four provides the most solid theological examination through sovereignty, grace, and power What would be a natural follow up to this theological foundation, chapter five provides some helpful content to our message. From being quick to listen, slow to speak (James 1:19), Rico suggests we present the truth of the gospel from an everyday, natural part of our conversations with people. From this everyday gospeling is a refreshing natural approach instead of all to "now-I-am-sharing-the-gospel-with-you" canned methodology. In a simple to remember summary, Rico suggest a "identity, mission, call" description of Christ (2 Cor. 4:5) as a good summary of the gospel. Much like Jesus approach His own explanations, Rico suggest checking understanding with questions. Ask who they think Jesus is (Mk. 8:27-29) Secondly, explain His mission: show why He came (Mk. 8:30). As an answer to guilt, death (Mk. 8:31). Finally, present His call (Mk. 8:34). Rico obvious has the reader in mind at this point, for he invites the read to consider if they have repented of their sin.
Chapter 6 tries to eliminate common excuses for evangelism and invites the reader to just be themselves. Rico presents biblical examples of evangelism from Peter (confrontational), Paul (intellectual) the ex-blind man (testimonial), and the woman at the well (invitational). I would have appreciated more detail at this point. I was wondering if it is appropriate to use an approach related to the audience, although it may not be our usual way of thinking. In a brilliant follow up to individual approaches, Rico points to the "striving together" role that the church has. This section could have had a chapter each, especially a "church wide" approach to evangelism.
In "getting started (or re-started), in chapter seven, Rico surveys the changing methodology of evangelism, giving modern barriers. This is one section that I think many books on evangelism forget. Rico flat out presents the need for time and effort in the task. His approach is unusual in suggesting that we ask our audience particular questions. Finally, he presents the character qualities necessary to not cause unnecessary offence His conclusion in chapter 8, reiterates the need for prayer, proclamation and availability. Naturally, the appendix contains lists of helpful resources.
Honest evangelism is honest: honest about fears and the future reality of the task. It is hard to get much more personal. This work is an excellent addition for the everyday believer in Christ to fulfill their calling to evangelize.

Mere Apologetics: How to Help Seekers and Skeptics Find Faith

Mere Apologetics: How to Help Seekers and Skeptics Find Faith (Paperback)
In the spirit of C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity, Alister McGrath's Mere Apologetics seeks in his own words to equip readers to engage gracefully and intelligently with the challenges facing the faith today while drawing appropriately on the wisdom of the past. Rather than supplying the fine detail of every apologetic issue in order to win arguments, McGrath aims to teach a method that appeals not only to the mind but also to the heart and the imagination. It is an introduction to apologetics.
Focusing on the core themes of the Christian faith and its effective communication to the non-Christian world, McGrath sees this as a mindset of engagement that interacts with the ideas of our culture rather than running away from them or pretending they can be ignored. His states that his aim is to convert believers into thinkers, and thinkers into believers, engaging our reason, imagination, and our deepest longings. He does not see this as a defence or hostile reaction against the world per se, but sees it as a welcome opportunity to exhibit, celebrate and display the treasure chest of the Christian faith. He encourages believers to appreciate their faith and to explain, and commend it to those outside the church, in all its intellectual, moral imaginative and relational richness. (p.11).
McGrath states that he is not committed to any particular school of apologetics but drawn on their collective riches. Although not defined as such, I would see his approach as primarily an evidentialism approach to apologetics with slight hints of presuppositionalism and classical apologetics. He takes great pains to avoid using such terminology and states that he will give "pointers to more advanced resources that will allow you, the reader, to take things further in your own time" (p.12).
Starting at perhaps a classical apologetic base, McGrath begins with Augustine, and quotes 1 Pt. 3:15 seeing apologetics is essentially "a defence" (15). He states the basic themes of apologetics, first with defending (p.17). Searching out the barriers to faith, arising from misunderstanding or misrepresentation he draws on apologetics like Pascal and shows how apologetics engages the mind (Mt. 22:37; Rom. 12:2). Secondly, in Commending, he sets out to allow the truth and relevance of the gospel to be appreciated by the audience (p.19). Third, in Translating, he draws on apologists like Lewis to show how the Christian faith is likely to be unfamiliar to may audiences and the need for it to be explained using familiar or accessible images, terms, or stories (p.20). He distinguishes apologetics from evangelism (p.21) and gives the limitations of apologetics (p.23).
Chapter two moves from Modernity to Post modernity showing how each age generates its own specific concerns and critiques of the Christian faith (p.28). McGrath defines his approach in first understanding the faith, the audience, communicate with clarity, find points of contact, present the whole gospel, and practice, practice, practice. He is helpful in specifics such as finding points of contact through the witness of history that are already embedded in human culture and experience (Acts 14:17) but misses a key opportunity to succinctly define what he means when he says in presenting the whole gospel. A simple, succinct, scriptural statement is woefully lacking on this point.
In the third chapter McGrath specifies that apologetics is not a set of techniques for winning people to Christ or a set of argumentative templates designed to win debates, but a willingness to work with God in helping people discover and turn to his glory (p.41). The approach almost seems anti-Christocentric, and frankly made me a bit nervous at this point. Thankfully he begins with setting things in context with a story from the ministry of Jesus in Mark 1. McGrath seems to be drawing on more presuppositional thoughts in specifying that conversion is not brought about by human wisdom or reasoning, but is in its deepest sense something that is brought about by God (1 Cor. 2:5). He is a little weak in saying that human nature is only wounded and damaged by sin (and not dead in trespasses and sin) yet accurately states that people are not capable of seeing thing as they are (2 Cor. 4:4). He concludes the chapter in a very helpful picture of how the cross and resurrection of Christ achieves victory over sin and death, brings healing to broken and wounded humanity and demonstrates the love of God for humanity.
Using Peter's Pentecost sermon (Acts 2), Paul's sermon to the Athenian philosophers (Acts 17), and Paul's legal speeches to the Romans (Acts 24-26) McGrath sums up their approaches to address specific audiences, identify the authorities and use lines of argument that will carry weight with the audience (p.68).
McGrath then goes on to show the "Reasonableness of the Christian Faith" showing how apologetics is an important tool in "persuading people that Christianity makes sense" (71). His evidential base shines here in his statements of how apologetics shows that there is a good argumentative or evidential base for core beliefs of Christianity. He sees such an approach to include developing intellectual arguments for the existence of God, or historical arguments for the resurrection of Jesus (p.72). His metaphysical treatment of science is insightful showing how science can give explanation as the identification of causes, the quest for the best explanation and the metanarrative of the unification of our view of reality. For someone who is so careful to avoid terms to classify each approach of apologetics, this chapter certainly defines elements of an evidentialism approach. .
Chapter six, Pointers to Faith: Approaches to Apologetic Engagement, has some of the best apologetics treatment in the book. In the section entitled Clues, Pointers and Proofs he moves into the concept of `worldviews` to signs pointing to the greater reality of God. He makes an important point that `No one is going to be able to prove the existence of God... yet one can consider all the clues that point in this direction and take pleasure in their cumulative force` (p.95). McGrath then gives clues from origins of the universe, design, structure, morality (ontology), desire-longing, beauty, relationally, and eternality in how they all weave together clues as to a pattern. These address "both the `reason within' and the `reason without'--the rationality of the human mind, and that embedded in the deep structure of the universe" (102). He contends that these identifying "clues about the meaning of the universe . . . are significant pointers to the capacity of the Christian faith to make sense of life" (121). He charges that the apologist then must demonstrate how these pointers actually direct us to the reality God has graciously revealed in his Word.
Chapter seven moves into Gateways for Apologetics in Opening the Door to Faith. McGrath states how the classical rational defence of the faith is largely ineffective in the contemporary post-modern culture. He states that ``Apologetics is about building bridges, allowing people to cross from the world they already know to one they need to discover. It is about helping people to find doors they may never have known about, allowing them to see and enter a world that exceeds anything they could have imagined`` (p.127). He states how we must answer questions such as: Who am I? Do I really matter? Why am I here? Can I make a difference? It must be kept in mind that: ``Neither science nor human reason can answer these questions. Yet unless they are answered life is potentially meaningless... There are times when it is just as important to show Christianity is real as it is to show it is true' (p. 138). We must remember that ``Many Christians... prefer to use words...to commend our faith. Yet we need to be aware that, in a post-modern context, images [have] special authority and power, transcending the limitations placed on words' (p. 149). Linking historical examples, he moved from approaches of explanation, argument (from design, origination, coherence and morality), stories to images. He provides some of the most balanced treatments in this section giving both arguments, examples and critiques of each approach.
If it is not quite evident at this point, the challenge of apologetics is enormous: ``Apologetics is about communicating the joy, coherence, and relevance of the Christian faith on the one hand, and dealing with anxieties, difficulties and concerns about that faith on the other`` (p. 157). McGrath encourages the apologetics to develop a personal approach in reflecting on: ``the questions being asked, the situation of the people asking them, and the resources available to answer them, yet never to give an answer to a question that doesn't satisfy you in the first place`` (p.159). He then proceeds to give some basic points to be gracious, consider the real question, and don't give pre-packaged answers to honest questions. Real biblical wisdom is employed here by McGrath: ``One way of dealing with this issue that I have found helpful is to welcome the question, and then ask the questioner if he would mind sharing why this is a particular concern for him. This helps me work out what the real question is and address it properly (p.161). Finally, McGrath suggests we learn from other apologists, in noting both the tone and content of their responses. In putting the theory to practice, McGrath considers two of the most common challenges in apologetics of why God allows suffering, and if Christianity is just a crutch. He considers these topics theologically and then provides apologetic responses. If this wasn't insightful enough, McGrath explains why he approached these question in the manner in which he did.
The final paragraph sums up the book well: ``This short book can never hope to teach you everything about the science and art of apologetics. It can only get you started. yet hopefully if will have gotten you interested in this field, and helpful you to appreciate why apologetics is to stimulating and important. Don't be discouraged if you have found the ideas difficult to master or apply. This book simply maps out the territory, now it's up to you to explore in depth and in detail-something that is both fascinating and worthwhile. And how many things in this life are like that? (p. 185). The sections ``For Further Reading`` at the end of each chapter enable the research to continue. The rest is up to each apologist. The rationale, theory, and explanations are given for the task. There are no excuses left. This is no mere theoretical exercise, souls are at state.
My only wish, was that McGrath would have included the technical categories, at least in footnotes, to allow for precise classification and further study. Without these, the book becomes limited for formal study in a seminary or bible college. For the everyday reader, it is hard to come up with a more comprehensive yet readable volume for defending the faith. May God use this work to change lives for His kingdom.

Pastors in the Classics: Timeless Lessons on Life and Ministry from World Literature

Pastors in the Classics: Timeless Lessons on Life and Ministry from World Literature (Paperback)
I am sure that many a pastor or author wished that someone had taken the time to look into all the novels, plays, morality tales, and poetry where pastors played a prominent role and provide "a road map to literary masterpieces in which the pastor's experience is a major part of the story" (p.11). The authors are amazingly explicit in their aims and goals: "first to facilitate the reading of some great works of literature", show "ways in which the works portray and clarify issues in the minister's life and vocation", finally to place "the minister's life within the broader Christian context" (p.12). These are in essence the differences between telling and showing what to do and not do in ministry.
There are four uses that the authors foresee for this collection: to enhance a reader's enjoyment and understanding of the works that are discussed, group discussion, improve the ability to make right moral choices and finally to be a readers' guide to the works that they cover (p.13). Two of these are excellently achieved, one is weak and another is woefully inadequate. Pastor's in the Classics will help with the enjoyment and understanding the work covered. I would have preferred Ryken to have more input on the moral choice objective by providing more of a biblical framework. Finally, the group questions are so brief, that any group would really need to take extensive notes of the primary sources to discuss the themes. The four "Portraits of Ministers" questions (p.14) really need to be kept in mind in examining any of the works in question.
From the author's description, part 1 is a reader's guide to twelve important classics written over four centuries and covering seven different nationalities. Each chapter not only describes and interprets the work in question, it also highlights a specific feature of pastoral ministry explored in the work. One of the most helpful features are the scriptural passages that begin each chapter. I would have appreciated an index of these texts that would have enabled an expositor to refer to the work in question as a sermon/lesson illustration. The topics vary from sexual sin, to slander, love, and suffering. Although the reviews are of classic sources, they read like everyday issues: challenges of ministry, complaints about church meetings, how hard it is to love the sheep, the relentless approach of next week's sermon, opportunities for personal ministry, candid revelations from the congregation and asking the lord to help moment by moment (p.106). Like the scriptural references, a thematic index would be helpful for future reference. Most of the topic headings are clear, but a few (eg. Witch Wood) can be a bit cryptic at times.
The authors describe Part 2 as a handbook on fifty-eight entries on works of literature that include significant discussion of ministry and illuminate issues in ministry (p.113). They see these of works that define the canon of literary masterpieces that deal with the pastor's experience, offering reading suggestions for both ministers and lovers of literature. From the familiar (The Canterbury Tales; Cry, the Beloved Country; and The Scarlet Letter) to the lesser-known (Silence, Witch Wood) to the surprising (A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man). They describe this as a collection that uncovers the good, the bad, and the ugly ways in which pastors have been presented to the reading public for the past half millennium. They are much briefer than the first section and are presented in a helpful alphabetical order.
Pastors in the Classics is a very useful resource to summarizing this and it's almost amazing that this work has not been written earlier. With few explicit biblical references and with some scriptural quotations at the beginning of the chapters more applicable than others, I hope a second edition will expand to include more contemporary works and add the most needed scriptural and thematic indexes. The most disappointing lack is of a conclusion on how literature had tended to portray pastoral ministry or how this had changed over time. It could include some helpful tips for future authors or perhaps how literary portrayals of pastors tend to be more accurate than the more common portrayal in other media forms.

The Priority of Preaching

Highly beneficial resource

This review is from:
The Priority of Preaching (Paperback)
Marketers will tell you that in order to sell something, your product or service must be distinguished from the competition. When Christopher Ash wrote The Priority of Preaching, he explicitly stated that: "This little book is for ordinary pastors who preach regularly to ordinary people in ordinary places, who may dream of being world-renowned [i.e. impressive and strategic] but are going to be spared that fate" (p.12). Right from the start, you know this is not your ordinary book on preaching.
Ordinarily, those who wish to market the Gospel will tell you that you need to devise a unique message, in a unique way to the unique people of your audience. It is a dangerous attempt to gain prominence. That had been tried and warned about before (Mt. 20:20-28).
Ash takes the word of God at face value and shows how it in itself is unique, to each unique person and uniquely relevant. What Ash does is to put the confidence in preaching on God and His inerrant, infallible word. What a preacher will then be stuck with is the unique power, authority and world changing scripture
Beginning as a series of addresses given at the 2008 Evangelical Ministry Assembly in London, the Christian Focus Publishers/Proclamation Trust Media release of The Priority of Preaching, focuses on the preaching of Moses in the book of Deuteronomy. Ash states that his objective is to "persuade (or at least unsettle) those doubtful about preaching, and to deepen the conviction of those already converted to the priority of preaching." (p.13).
The first section looks at The Authority of the Word Preached (Deuteronomy 18:9-22) Chapter one considers the authority of the expository preacher in speaking the very words of God (2 Tim. 4:2). It begins with a brief history of homiletics, as well as setting the stage with the ever real warning of those who will not tolerate sound teaching (2 Tim. 3:1-9; 4:3-4). Scripture is the foundation of the church (Eph. 2:20) and do not let anyone despise you (ie. disregard what you say) (Titus 2:15). Ash warns the preacher to "beware the shortcut of mystical authority" (p. 40) with a lazy assumption that preaching does not require hard word in preparation (1 Tim. 5:17). Not too many should be teachers (James 3:1). It is a spiritual gift only given to some (Eph. 4:11).
With the case of the preachers' authority being the word of God, Ash makes an intriguing statement on how preaching is cross cultural: "Every culture knows what it is to sit and listen to an authoritative human being speak. That is not culturally specific. You don't need to be literate to do that. You don't need to be educated to do that. You don't need to be fluent or confident in debate to do that". (p.27). Many contemporary so called "group Bible studies" have practically placed their own authority over scripture: "discussion substitutes for submission to the word of God...people in fact sit above the Word of God." (p. 29). A better alternative is proposed where the group take the Sunday passage, seek to further understand it, and hold each other accountable for how they live it.
Ash provides an interesting transition from old covenant prophet (prophetic and revelatory) to new covenant preacher (proclamatory). I found Ash's discussion intriguing on how Paul himself found the need for preaching face to face necessary and not just with providing a scroll alone (2 Pt. 2:1). With the word preached, all the other ministries of the word flourish: "In all the other contexts in which we teach and admonish one another and speak the word of Christ to one another (Col. 3:16), we are much more likely to submit and not evade by endless discussion, if we have as our top meeting priority (alongside prayer) sitting together under the preached word" (p.36).
The second section shows Preaching that Transforms the Church (Deuteronomy 30:11-20). Ash deals with the reality of distractions yet having preaching that grips (p.46). He presents a series of four preaching themes. As interesting as they were, they were light on new covenant application. However, Ash makes some helpful practical applications such as envisioning preaching as "silent dialogue" (p.53), having "urgent passionate clarity" (p. 61), presenting in a language the audience will understand (p.62-63), and offering Christ in our preaching with confident grace (p. 72).
The third sections looks at Preaching that Mends a Broken World (Deuteronomy 4:5-14). Ash discusses how the world is broken (p.76ff) with the need for consistent order. Ash shows how Deuteronomy signals four ways the standard shape of the church as the pattern (p.79) word (p.80) place (p.81) and people (p.82) for the assembly. The new covenant transition from the book of Hebrews would have been better interwoven within these pictures instead of a few pages later. When Ash presents the assembly on its wider biblical canvas, the examples go from the world crisis of distress (false worship always leads to scattering (p.83) and how God promises to gather a reassembled world (p.84). The picture of fulfillment in Christ is now presented with great illustrations from the book of Hebrews. Practical applications are put into practice with illustrations on gathering to hear the word (p.91), how it brings unlikely people together (p.92), and how the word of grace shapes us together (p.98).
The appendix looks at Seven Blessings of Consecutive Expository Preaching. He notes and explains these seven blessings. He shows how Consecutive Expository Preaching 1) Safeguards God's Agenda Against Being Hijacked by Ours. 2) Makes It Harder for Us to Abuse the Bible by Reading it Out of Context. 3) Dilutes the Selectivity of the Preacher. 4) Keeps the Content of the Sermon Fresh and Surprising. 5) Makes for Variety in the Style of the Sermon. 6) Models Good Nourishing Bible Reading for the Ordinary Christian. and how Consecutive Expository Preaching 7) Helps us Preach the Whole Christ from the Whole of Scripture
The only limitation I see to this work are those I believe the author self-imposed. This is not a Biblical theology of preaching, christocentric fulfillment's or an exegetical, grammatical technical guide. The work almost exclusively concerns itself with Moses' words from Deuteronomy as a helpful model of the confidence in God's word.
Ash is surprisingly candid with sharing feelings that many who preach the Gospel have privately felt yet are often reluctant to express. His influences are explicitly stated and he is not afraid to point out dangerous yet popular approaches to preaching today. As a reader, his writing is personal, practical and pithy. The layout of the book is clear and straightforward. The publisher has to be greatly commended for their efforts in aiding this clarity. With such a simple effort to cite references in footnotes instead of end notes, the reader does not have to ever be distracted with the points at hand.
Not only would this be a highly beneficial resource for anyone preaching the word of God it is also helpful for anyone who needs to understand how scripture uniquely empowers and directs. This would help in not only corporate decision making, but individual and familial as well.

GW Names of God Bible Hardcover (Hardcover)
"The Names of God Bible" (NGB) uses "God's Word Translation" (GWT) as its base text. This is a relatively new translation from 1995 employing a translation method they describe as "closest natural equivalence" to express the meaning of the original text. This philosophy focuses on what the translators define as readability with an aim to mirror the structure common to our everyday day English, using grammar and punctuation that they feel contemporary readers would be most familiar with.
GWT is essentially a dynamic equivalent translation that is too interpretive for word for word study. Conceptually this seems strange for a Bible that aims for greater specificity indicating the names of God in their original languages throughout. Forfeited is an accurate word for word translation for more of a thought for thought. The individual authors writing style and choice of words is sacrificed. What is most lacking are the theological words that would enable meaningful short hand discussion. Gone are words such as covenant, grace, justify, repent, resurrection and righteousness. These are serious omissions. Gone as well is the clear teaching of the doctrine of justification by replacing the translation of all of the different Greek words behind "justify," "righteousness," "reckoned," "imputed," "accredited," and "propitiation" with one catch-all word, "approval."
People can be seriously mislead by inaccurate translations of verses like James 2:24 that read: "You see that a person received God's approval because of what he does, not only because of what he believes". There is a radical misrepresentation of Justification by faith alone when one is promised Gods "approval based on what one does in such places like Rom. 4:16,20, 9:30, 32, 10:6, 11:20, Gal. 3:22, 5:5; and Heb. 11. The result is misrepresenting justification as the "cause" instead of the "medium" through which saving faith comes.
Beyond the dangerous misrepresentations in the translation, NGB indicates more than 10,000 occurrences of at least 121 names (or titles of God) such as Yahweh, El Shadday, El Elyon, and Adonay. They state that this purpose is "to help readers connect with the Hebrew roots of their Christian faith and experience a deeper understanding of God's character". To do this the names are highlighted in brown ink to stand out within the biblical text.
Yet, there are instances where the original renderings are not clear enough. Such an example includes the GWT rendering of "Lord of Hosts" (`Yahweh Sabaoth'). As `hosts' could accurately be described as a reference to angelic beings, i.e. the hosts of heaven, GWT has chosen to translate this phrase "Lord of Armies,". Unfortunately, there are no explanation that these armies are the armies of heaven and not the armies of men which can lead to significant misunderstanding.
Ann Spangler developed the Name pages, book introductions, Calling God by name sidebars and topical prayer guide. Helpful listings include an alphabetical list of names and titles of God, pronunciation guide to these names and titles, names of God reading path system, topical prayer guide, table, and fast track reading plan for the names of God, as well as a name index and general reading plan.
The Names of God Bible is helpful as a reference tool to quickly see the names of God and explanations for further insight, but the Bible as a whole is not very useful as either a study tool providing word-for word-precision, not as a study Bible having much of the needed basis background commentary or helpful study additions. The introductions to each book are brief. Absent are links like maps, concordances, and other common reference tools.

Seems history has taught nothingFebruary 12,2013
Seems history has taught nothing
Mr. Stuart Lindberg, your letter dated Feb. 9 to the editor of this very left-leaning newspaper was so on the mark. Unfortunately, I fear you are like the lone reed blowing in the wind. Since this paper, more often than not, basically publishes articles and commentary that lean toward left thinking we are not given the opportunity to hear much about how this country is heading toward socialism. Socialism is a word nobody wants to use, referring to what is going on in this Nation of Sheep. However, if anyone is paying attention, like you are, it is becoming clearer that we are very slowly losing our freedoms; as you so well put it, embracing the collectivist ideas ... for the good of society that were the cornerstone of the Soviet Socialist Republic. You can see how this paper and most news media are supporting this trend. It is very frightening, to say the least.
What also bothers me is that those who dont agree with these thoughts, e.g., the likes of Mr. Danziger, cartoonist, as well as many of the folks who lean to the left, find it necessary to call those with opposing views names and make fun of them. Shame on them. I just want you to know that there are probably many more people, like myself, that understand where you are coming from. Thank you for expressing it so well. I also would like to say thanks to all the other folks that have sent letters of this ilk to this paper. I, for one, am paying attention. I only hope that more and more people will pay attention to what is going on in this country and do what they can, where possible (the polls), to turn it around. If not, God help us all.

fuck Kenny. he's a bitch. i sided with him on shit that made sense but when he was being a little bitch i told him what was what. he even LOOKS annoying. i wish i had a chance to kill him off...would've taken it. can't stand his redneck ass "i know everything & i'm gonna do things my way" attitude.
as for Ben, i don't know why, but i saved him. even after seeing him fuck up so many times, for some reason i saved him. i actually regret that decision. i believe the only reason i did it was because Clementine took a liking to him. but what does she know? she's an idiot who, instead of listening to logic, went behind my back trying to find her parents by talking to some weirdo on the walkie talkie & not telling me about it. sure...she's a kid & Lee's not her father, but after looking after her for so long, wouldn't u think she'd have enough sense to at least mention "hey, i've been talking to this weirdo guy who says he can help me find my parents...what do u think?" of course not. she's 8 years old & very gullible.
i personally wish i had fucked Kenny up when he got an attitude with me while he was drunk. i mean i felt bad for the guy cause his wife committed suicide & i had him kill his kid, but the motherfucker has serious issues & i'm not one to stand for that shit in life, nevermind a video game. so of course i cursed his ass the fuck out when it was time to look for Clem. didn't give a shit how he felt about it either. fuck Kenny.

I'm an experienced WP developer, but on a few occasions I come across a problem that just makes no sense. On these occasion instead of solving it the next day with fresh eyes, I can sometimes do with a second pair of eyes and I'd be happy to pay for this.
Can anyone recommend a developer or service that might fill this criteria. I have searched around and it's not an easy thing to find. People are either to busy or it's required you sign up for a long-term contract.
I know it's the weekend, so I might bump this forum post on Monday.

With the turn of shovels, Cummins Inc. leaders and city officials broke ground Monday on a new technical and office center that will serve as the company's global headquarters for its high-horsepower division.
The two-story, 89,350-square-foot office building will bring together engineers from several Cummins locations, including Columbus, and bridge the gap between the design, testing and production of current and future high-horsepower products.
Construction soon will be underway on the office facility, which will extend from the existing plant north toward East Fourth Street and will divide the main parking lot into smaller parking areas.

I seared a 6 lb pork roast, put it in crockpot, then forgot to turn it on for about an hour. Then turned on low and will cook 8hrs. Is it ok?
It should be fine. There are no absolutes in food safety, only probabilities, and the probability of pathogens growing to dangerous levels should be well under any safety thresholds. Searing first should make the surface of the meat an instant kill environment. It's not ideal that you sat at room temperature for an hour before starting the cooker, but your cooking environment should heat up sufficiently within a tolerable time frame to prevent new bacterial growth.

Currently on a global tour, the International Coin Collectors Association (ICCA) will be making a stop in St. Robert, at the Super 8, located at 107 McKinnon Road, through Saturday, Nov. 12. The show hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The ICCA will be purchasing coins, paper currency, gold and silver on behalf of their global network of collectors, dealers and refineries. This special event is free and open to the public.
Traveling from small towns to large cities, the ICCA hosts hundreds of events each year where local residents are encouraged to bring in their precious metals, old coins and paper money to earn extra cash. While meeting one-on-one with each guest, the ICCA specialists review, research and evaluate the items and will make an offer to purchase all gold coins, silver coins made before 1965 and paper money printed prior to 1934.
The amount of the offer depends on the silver or gold content, the collectability, the rarity and the condition of the items. If the guest decides to accept the offer made, a check will be issued on the spot.

You watch what you eat and fit regular workouts into your schedule. So why is the number on your scale going up instead of down? The reason might lie in your bathroom cabinet.
"As many as 10% to 15% of weight issues are related to medications," says Louis Aronne, MD, director of the Comprehensive Weight Control Center at Weill Cornell Medical College.
Some meds can make you feel hungrier. Others slow your body's ability to burn calories or cause you to hold onto extra fluids.
The effects aren't the same for everybody, though. "One person might gain 15 pounds on one drug. Another might not gain anything," Aronne says.
If you suspect the medicines that you take are behind your weight gain, don't go off them before you talk to your doctor. "You might need to be on that drug to save your life," says Donald Waldrep, MD, co-director of The Center for Weight Loss Surgery at Los Robles Hospital.
You may be able to switch to another medication, including one that can even help you shed pounds. If not, your doctor can suggest what you should do to offset the weight gain.
"There's evidence that a low-carb diet and more exercise may help," says Sue DeCotiis, MD, a board-certified internist who specializes in medical weight loss.
Below are some types of medicines that may be the cause of your expanding waistline. It's not a complete list, so speak to your doctor if you have any concerns about your prescriptions.
Depression Medications
Which ones:
- citalopram (Celexa)
- fluoxetine (Prozac)
- fluvoxamine (Luvox)
- mirtazapine (Remeron)
- paroxetine (Paxil)
- sertraline (Zoloft)
Your doctor may call these "SSRIs" (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) or "tricyclic antidepressants." They boost the amount of certain "feel good" chemicals in your brain. Some of those chemicals also control your appetite and how your body breaks down calories.
"You might eat but not feel full," DeCotiis says. "Or you might lay down more fat even if you're not eating more." That's the case especially in the long run. Some depression drugs may cause you to gain as much as 24 pounds in a year.
Keep in mind that depression itself can affect your appetite and eating habits. Your doctor or counselor can help you with that.

ODT Online

The New Zealand Transport Agency will be hoping for some
sub-zero temperatures this winter, as they again trial a new
ice warning system in Otago.
Contractors were yesterday installing the PATeye markers,
designed by Christchurch firm Solar Bright, on Dunedin's
Northern Motorway.
The markers incorporate a sensor which tracks the ground
temperature. When it drops to a certain level, the blue LED
lights start flashing.
They were trialled in 2012 in Northeast Valley and Sunnyvale,
and by the NZTA on Otago highways last year.
But an NZTA spokesman said last year's trial was not
successful, as the winter was not cold enough.
NZTA Otago-Southland state highways manager Ian Duncan said
the latest trial would look at the effect of the markers on
driver behaviour.
It would study whether drivers slowed down when they saw the
markers, and motorists would also be surveyed on what they
thought of them.
Depending on how the trial went, it might be rolled out
elsewhere around the country, Mr Duncan said. The technology
could also help road crews more effectively target areas on
which to lay grit to help make icy roads safer. Ultimately,
that would help reduce winter road maintenance costs.
Other trials will to be held on State Highway 1 at the Taieri
River Bridge, SH8 at the Manuka Gorge, and SH1 just north of
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
I live north of Dunedin and regularly travel over the
motorway. This is a great idea - I hope it works out this
How about a webcam on the motorway summit? It would be very
useful for travellers to check the motorway conditions before
they set out. Street lights at the summit crossroads could
help with night-time visibility and safety.

Hello fellow community.
I have a website using Customizr: grasklipparservice.se
And I want the page to be centered to the middle - I have solved the logo, the pages and so on - but every solution I found to center the menu screws up something else - and the way it looks now is dull :(
Do anyone have any good solution?
Can I activate the menu adapted for smaller screens(like smartphones) for every screensize?
Is there any good menu plugin that I could replace the navigation menu with?
(I have searched the forum for this without success - so if anyone found a good solution, please share and don't be offended because I create a new topic ;) )

Hair Salon - Fun Kids games
By George CL
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Do you want to be a barber?
Let's play the Hair Salon . To be a barber and design various hairstyles for your customer.
It's a fun game for kids.
What's New in Version 2.0.1
Fixed a bug.
Customer Reviews
Great game! But...
I love this game I was looking all over for a game where it gives you a picture of what they want and you do as much like it as you can but now this day I came back to play it and when I open the app, a panda pop ad shows up, there is a x button so I press it, and then it closes so I was about to carry on so I pressed story mode and right when my finder hit, the panda pop ad shows up AGAIN sending me to the App Store. In other words, every time I try to close the panda pop ad, it shows up again in a split second. Please fix this!!!
Pretty good, but...
This app is good, and I play it all the time. Especially the story mode where you cut hair and collect money. But there are two things I don't like about it. 1) every time you push a button, a 6677g add pops up, and it gets extremely annoying. 2) when I reached like level 10 in story mode, I stopped playing for about a day, and when I went back on, all of my coins and supplies were gone, and I had to start from level one.
There are a lot of ads and they keep popping up every time you try to continue doing something please fix this bug. Another thing is on the free play part the hair is un-responsive to the comb. The reason I deleted this game is because it's boring. If you could put in mini games to earn enough money to buy the things you need that would be great otherwise it was boring to me I don't recommend this game at all. 😔😔😔

Very convinient for a city trip. the hotel is quiet and the rooms are very big for a hotel in the city of zuerich.
Too many decore, too less comfort for this price.... , breakfast is economy class.
spacious rooms, room service and quite atmosphere at the lobby
staff should be more attentive
The design.
I was not provided a non-smoking room as requested so I dislike the smell of cigars and cigarettes in my room during my entire stay.
Very good breakfast
a bit run down and expensive for value
Location was great and the breakfast and restaurant were also very good
TV and hardline internet didn't work and they didn't even attempt to fix it the whole time I was there (2 weeks).
The location was really great, within walking distance to everything! About 10 min from the main train station, or a couple of minutes with the tram. The staff was also really helpful and service minded.
The breakfast could've been better.
the price for the room appeared 35 CFR more as promised by booking.com
Great location, helpful staff and sumptuous breakfast.
Great location: the train, tram and bus station is right next to the hotel. The main HB Zurich station is 7' away (next stop by express train). A grocery store is nearby
The hotel staff is very helpful, friendly, professional, multilingual
Lack of wifi (nowadays it's a big flaw)
Overpriced breakfast
The lobby looks cheap, mismatching and outdated styles
Noisy bed
The staff at reception were really fantastic. They were very helpful, and resolved any problems we had right away. Also, the breakfast was terrific.
The location is great, a few minutes walk from everything: trains, opera, lake, downtown, cafes, restaurants. The staff also very friendly and helpful.
The decoration is like 18th century, and the room was extremely small, with chandeliers and museum-style furniture! Not my favorite style... As for the bathroom and shower I could barely move.
Τους χωρους του και χρειαζεται ανακαίνιση
Nice hotel and very well located. Good price and great breakfeast
comfortable room - friendly reception staff - really good breakfast buffet - close to the city center
just bathroom was not too clean
Every thing OK
Great central location. Staff very friendly and helpful with directions. Our room is fairly small but very comfortable. Super comfortable bed, bedding and pillows. Quiet, no noise at all. Breakfast was included in our stay and was very tasty and high quality. The breakfast staff were sincere as well. Parking was an extra charge but that is the case with all the hotels. It was underground so you could park and have complete peace of mind. The main station is very close and is open Sundays also if you need anything or want a place to eat.
Needs a greater mini bar selection.
Great location.,
I like the convenience to the station and shopping. the hotel is very well run with most helpful staff
The internet connection is far too expensive. Other Hotels, both in Switzerland and the rest of Europe, have WiFi connections for just a few euros or, often, free.
room size and view
Access to public transportation, restaurant, parking
Stained bed sheets
Located right in the old town of Zurich, it is close to all the best walking areas. The front desk was very friendly and helpful with suggestions and dinner reservations. Rooms are clean and nice.
Great location. Received an upgrade to a room with a laptop. Nice! Well-functioning elevators. Very good bedding. Efficient sound-proofing. Exceptionally friendly staff.
No central heating available - but I was offered a mobile unit. New egg-cooker is a progress, but guests mess it up.
Location. Next to main train station and river.
reception amability
Beds were absolutely terrible. Pillows were terrible. Rooms were incredibly small. Location was average. Security was questionable with their room key system..... despite all this it was still almost $200/night.
Excellent location for a meeting at the railway station for me. Excellent situation for shopping for my wife.
Windows (Room 310) are poorly insulated.
in one word? only the price and location of the hostel can be considered as a positive influence for choosing.
The staff is incompetent, unable to exchange currencies, cleanness and tidiness have to improve definitely (!!!) and for those who do not know this, but the hostel is actually owned (at least the building) by the hell angels... great financing business...

Every film that has ever been nominated for a Razzie Award in any category.
Seems Like Old Times
1980 Directed by Jay Sandrich
alone - at last...
Writer Nick Gardenia is kidnapped from his California cliffhouse and forced to rob a bank. Now a fugitive, he seeks help from his ex, Glenda. She is a public defender remarried to a prosecutor, and we get a houseful of hijinks.
Popular reviewsMore
You never appreciate bathrooms fully until you are wanted by the law
"Chester. You just went through a stop sign."
"I can't help it. I don't like to read when I drive."
The last half hour is really really funny. Grodin, Hawn & Chase (not to mention the scene stealing T.K. Carter) all shine.
And Grodin dealing with a bunch of unruly dogs (one of which is a Saint Bernard)? This has to be the inspiration for Beethoven, right?
I had seriously never heard of this film starring Chevy Chase, Goldie Hawn and Charles Grodin and a fun discovery it was indeed.
Chase is kidnapped and has to commit a bank robbery for two thugs after which he gets chased by the police. He then turns to ex-wife Hawn for help who now lives with her husband, the district attorney (Grodin). Part farce, part romantic comedy, but doesn't succumb to easy endings and always deadpan - something with which these leads can be trusted quite competently.
"Seems Like Old Times", is a very talky movie about Chevy trying to win back his ex wife, a screen play by playwright Neil Simon drives character interaction instead of traditional movie excitement.
It's almost as if "Seems Like Old Times" is referring to how movies were made in the 50's and 60's, out of time for the 80's.
Goldie Hawn steals most of the scenes, Chevy is reduced to general buffooning.
Goldie Hawn is in top-form, absolutely nailing every bit of comic timing and an especially hilarious monologue where she teeters on hysteria. Neil Simon's zany script feels stagebound. While there's elaborate physical comedy that's rather filmic, there are just as many stagnant, dialogue-driven long takes. Chevy Chase and Charles Grodin are likable enough, but Hawn upstages anyone and everyone.
"I knew you were the one person in the World who could help me."
"I can't help you."
"Maybe it was someone else I was thinking of."
An old school Chevy Chase film that I hadn't seen before? That's what I call a successful Sunday morning.
Recent reviewsMore
"Seems Like Old Times" showcases Neil Simon doing what Neil Simon does best: creating harmless, solid little comedies that don't tax the intellect or give you much to remember, but which are pleasant enough while you're actually watching them.
This one re-teams Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase two years after they had shown how much screen chemistry they had together in "Foul Play." Hawn is the wife of the L.A. district attorney (Charles Grodin), while Chase is the ex-husband who comes tumbling (literally) back into her life when he finds himself in a desperate situation. It all plays out like a screwball comedy or bedroom farce, and most of the jokes hit their mark. The three main stars are helped by a good supporting cast of mostly unknowns.
Grade: B+
It's nothing special, but it is at least comedic.
Fun movie. Wish they still made "clean" comedies like this today rather than the crude and rude humor. Chevy Chase is his usual deadpan self, Charles Grodin plays the establishment foil, and Goldie steals the show as the woman in the middle.
I thought this was really quite funny, although it does drag in places. Chevy Chase is outdone by Charles Grodin and Goldie Hawn, who probably bring the most laughs to the farcical proceedings. Overall, Seems Like Old Times is a light and fun comedy worth a try for those who don't mind such "Hollywood nonsense."
Not one of the best films from these stars.
I either saw this once or have just seen some of it on cable as a child, cause I remembered a whole lot in this film.
While I am not a big fan of films that feel like plays, this one had enough humor and three amazing performances to really entertain me.
I know many hate him, but Chase was such a fun actor back in the day. His dead pan comedy just works for me and he has so many great one liners here. Hawn is equally fun, maybe the best I have ever seen her.
Even Grodin, playing the basic foil in the film, is just so likable and all his bickering with the dogs was fun.
The ending is a smidge over the top, but this one is a lot more fun then the reviews on here led me to believe.
"Seems Like Old Times" takes advantage of it's fun premise and results into an entertaining screwball comedy with intriguing scenarios, and shining chemistry between Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase, whom each shine with their respective performances.
Not much of a movie, but Chevy Chase flirting with Goldie Hawn circa 1980 was quite charming. The dinner scene is legitimately hilarious, but the rest of the film is not quite so successful. All I can say about the ending is...Poor Charles Grodin!
It has no illusions about being anything but a farce, and you shouldn't either. Grodin, Hawn, and Chase are all great at the physical work and mugging required. Sort of a proof of concept for Fletch five years later.

Holidays are approaching! Are you ready?
We shared these amazing Santa hat brownies with you last year and the recipe was a hit. So if you're looking for some adorable dessert, here's a good idea for you:
- Brownies:
- 180 grams unsalted butter
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup flour
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Buttermilk cream:
- 12-16 cleaned strawberries
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Prepare the brownies as described in the following video, then cut them into small squares after they cooled down.
- Beat butter & cheese to become light, add vanilla extract & sugar, beat gently for 2 minutes, cream is ready…Then add the cream on top of the brownies, put cut strawberries on top. (Watch the video to better get the idea!)
And here's the recipe for chocolate brownies:
Image: daisysworld.net
The buttermilk cream recipe says to add BROWN SUGAR – WTF. I realize I should have noticed this gigantic error was really meant to be powdered sugar, but I was making these at midnight and added what I read. Please update your recipe to avoid the massive frustration I just experienced.
The recipe was posted by a writer in another country besides the US, that is why its in grams, it actually called for powdered brown sugar, which is an unbleached version, I changed it to remove any confusion, I am so sorry that happened!

WYL, Sammy Mandell was a helluva boxer, much in the style of a later day Ken Buchanan...But he was not to be compared to Barney Ross as an alltime great LW...Barney Ross aside from his text book boxing had the ability to trade with much harder punchers than he, and most likely was NEVER FLOORED ONCE...Ross had an iron chin much like the later WW Kid Gavilan.and was NEVER kod in 82 bouts against the best punchers of his era, McLarnin, Canzoneri, Billy Petrolle, Henry Armstrong, and the great punching MW Ceferino Garcia,whom the smaller Ross beat twice, once when Barney Ross had a broken hand...NO WW has it easy against a prime Barney Ross...

The Merced County Library is hosting a fossil exhibit through the summer courtesy of the State of California and Caltrans.
Summer is the season of sunny days, ice cold refreshments and, unfortunately for many Californians, rising prices at the pump. With a wallet-binding combination of rising oil prices and high demand for gasoline, many Americans will notice the increasing cost when topping off their tanks.
Nicole Sanders of Turlock was crowned the District 6 Dairy Princess during ceremonies held Thursday at Our Lady of Assumption Hall in Turlock. Alexia Nunes of Turlock was named First Alternate and Marion Carpenter of Merced was named Second Alternate.
Fathers of Turlock are taking it upon themselves to be the next generation of doting dads. Although everyone has their own parenting style, most have just one goal: raise their children to be the best that they can be.
The unemployment rate in Stanislaus County dropped to a new low for the year as the harvest season provides additional jobs for the area, according to the latest data from the Employment Development Department.
Library users around the county will soon be able to stroll into their local branch on a Friday and peruse all the books, periodicals, and other materials they wish to see, as the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors approved extending operations at all 13 branches.
The State Legislature approved a budget Wednesday that includes a $122.5 billion spending plan and raises vehicle registration fees by $10, generating $400 million.
The Stanislaus County Health Services Agency's Keep Baby Safe Program will conduct a free child safety seat inspection event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. today. The safety inspections will be held at the Flea Market parking lot located at 3113 Crows Landing Road in Modesto.
June 12 marked the end of the Merced County Fair after five days filled with entertainment, carnival rides and lots of fair food.
Type of business: Salon/Spa
With the Stanislaus County Fair just around the corner and residents from all over the Central Valley gearing up for twisting rides and fried foods, excitement is on the rise high.
While many parents would like their kids to get outside and play this summer, sometimes the cost of recreational activities can put a wrench in that plan. The Turlock Church of Christ is offering a free youth sports league to help local families insure that their children are staying active, healthy and happy, all without financial strain.
Whether they hope to one day become a United States Navy SEAL or simply want to do their best in school, the Assyrian American Civic Club Youth Group now knows one thing: substance abuse will keep them from achieving their goals. Jason, a U.S. Navy Seal and speaker for Applied Performance Sciences, educated the group Sunday on the physiological effects of poor lifestyle choices and the specific ways in which these choices directly impact their ability to perform on the sports field, on the stage, in the classroom and, ultimately, in life.
For the Brazil family, rodeo isn't just a hobby – it's a way of life. Years after both Mandy Brazil and her husband, Jeff, competed individually in the National High School Finals Rodeo, their daughter, Londyn, will now continue the tradition as she prepares to travel to Lebanon, Tennessee for the National Junior High Finals Rodeo.

Curious what the consensus is here. Part of the reason I'm not as pissed about this game as I was about the tie or SF's other losses this season is because I saw it coming.
We've yet to put together a string of 3 strong performances and with this team tying us previously and coming off the heels of big wins against CHI and NO, this had f*ck-up game written all over it.
My thoughts going in were that SF would either barely pull it out or lose. Anyone else have that same feeling before this mess of a game?
