Total Recall: Victory at Sea
Summer's almost here, and you know what that means -- from now until Labor Day, the Earth will be in near-constant danger of utter destruction every single weekend. At the box office, anyway. This week, we're under attack from a crew of nasty aliens, and only Taylor Kitsch and Rihanna stand between us and certain doom. We're talking about Battleship, of course, and all that aquatic derring-do got us thinking about other movies featuring thrilling peril, men and women of valor, and lots and lots of water. It's time to celebrate some Victory at Sea -- the Total Recall way!Back to Article

John Buchanan: The 'Ned Flanders' of Cricket
John Buchanan, the former Australia men's national cricket team coach, was born on 5 April 1953 at Ipswich, Queensland. Buchanan, who is also known in cricketing circles as 'Ned Flanders', due to his similarity in appearance to The Simpsons character, played only seven first-class matches in his career; but as Queensland coach he helped the state win their first Sheffield Shield title in 1994-95. Buchanan was appointed as Australia coach in October 1999, and was at the helm for 15 of Australia's record-breaking 16 consecutive Test wins and when they won the World Cups in 2003 and 2007. Buchanan was also the coach when Australia won the Champions Trophy in 2006 and inflicted a 5-0 whitewash on England in the 2006-07 Ashes Series, the first since 1920-21 in the Ashes Series. Though widely regarded as an innovative and groundbreaking coach, Buchanan's unorthodox methods raised a few eyebrows and Shane Warne was dismissive about his role in the team; but former captain Ricky Ponting credits him as being one of the important reasons Australia completed their World Cup hat trick of wins. After quitting as Australia's coach, Buchanan was at the helm of Kolkata Knight Riders for two turbulent years. In May 2011, Buchanan was appointed to the role of Director of Cricket for New Zealand Cricket.

Filmul Camasa lui Hristos nu este bazat pe Biblie, ci este un roman despre un lider Roman numit Marcelus. Romanul lui Lloyd C. Douglas a ramas de-a lungul anilor un besteller absolut, tiparit in zeci de milioane de . exemplare. Filmul a fost realizat in anul 1953.
The Robe, was nominated for five Academy Awards in 1953, including best picture and best actor. Burton stars as Marcellus Gallio, the Roman centurion charged with overseeing the crucifixion. But when he wins Christ's robe in a gambling game at the foot of the cross, his life is forever changed. The movie is based on a novel (fiction) yet it is inspiring, in its depiction of Christ's crucifixion and the power of His life and death, and the novel (written by Lloyd C. Douglas) has been read by tens of millions of readers..

Apocalipsa este o carte greu de interpretat, si probabil e si mai greu a selecta secvente din carte pentru filmare. Totusi, e un film care merita vazut!
There are so many interpretations and views on the book of Revelation, that a movie could never accurately portray the apocalyptic genre of writing. I would challenge everyone to read the book of Revelation and different commentaries, as well as watch this movie. It is not meant as a scare tactic, but as an additional Bible study aid.
For anyone interested in studying the book of Revelation, there is a great site – Monergism, that offers MP3 (audio) studies on different chapters of the book.(The audio studies are offered by one of the most respected, Christian theologian – D.A. Carson) All of us have to admit that we were once fearful when reading this book, however, upon studying it within the context of the great hope we have in God's saving grace, it helps us appreciate it for its richness in theology and the ultimate hope of salvation in God.
If anyone else has links to great Bible study materials for Revelation please submit them in a comment below this article. Revelation is a future subject for this blog, so I will truly appreciate insight from readers.

Lee Strobel a fost un ateu satisfacut cu pregatiri mari in societate (journalism degree from University of Missouri and a Master of Studies in Law degree from Yale Law School) . Unii dintre noi care citeam (mai mult sau mai putin) ziarul Chicago Tribune (14 ani) il cunoastem de acolo ca 'investigative journalist'care scria despre coruptie (orasul nostru Chicago este notoriu in privinta asta) si crime. Cartile lui Lee Strobel sint presarate cu exemple si ilustratii din intimplari reale care s-au petrecut in acei ani.
In Pledoarie pentru Hristos, Strobel povesteste cum l-a primit pe Hristos, dupa doi ani de cautare si discutii cu Crestini despre Biblie, Dumnezeu si Isus Hristos. El si-a inceput calatoria de investigare a existentei lui Dumnezeu dupa ce sotia sa la invitatia unei prietene s-a dus la Biserica si s-a intors la Domnul. Strobel in timpul investigatiei sale de a afla daca exista Dumnezeu cu adevarat (el fiind un ateu convins) cercetind indeaproape Scripturile si orice altfel de informatii din toate domeniile de care a dat, le-a cercetat cu amanuntul si a fost foarte surprins ca sa descopere marele adevar ca desigur exista Dumnezeu cu adevarat, ceea ce l-a facut si pe el sa se intoarca la Dumnezeu iar apoi a devenit unul dintre cei mai mari apologeti din timpul nostru. A scris citeva carti pretioase de apologetica si a realizat filmari bazate pe aceste carti. Cartile sint foarte recomandate pentru cititorii de toate virstele.
( Strobel describes The Case for Christ as a retracing and expansion of his becoming Christian. It summarizes Strobel's interviews with 13 evangelical Christian scholars)

Pledoarie pentru Cristos – Investigatia
Exista pledoarie pentru Cristos? Daca ar fi fost o investigatie judecatoareasca legala – un proces care sa determine daca Isus Cristos este de fapt Singurul Fiu al lui Dumnezeu – ar fi fost El justificat pe baza evidentelor ori ar fi fost descoperit ca impostor?
Pledoarie pentru Cristos – Procurorul
A incercat cineva sa adune dovezi pentru a face o pledoarie pentru Cristos? Spre exemplu, Lee Strobel, un ateu pe vremea cand a intreprins acest efort, a decis ca va dovedi cu argumente si probe solide ca Isus Cristos este un impostor. Strobel cu siguranta era calificat sa efectueze aceasta sarcina de a face un proces impotriva lui Cristos. El avea Master in Studii Juridice de la Universtitatea de Drept Yale si era reporter premiat la Chicago Tribune. Domeniul de specialitate al lui Strobel era Analist Juridic si a fost promovat la rangul de Editor Juridic la Chicago Tribune. Mai mult, Strobel nu era partinitor fata de apararea lui Cristos – el era ateu!
Pledoarie pentru Cristos – Constatarile
Strobel imparte pledoaria sa pentru Cristos in trei capitole principale:
Pledoarie pentru Cristos – Examinarea dovezilor
In incercarea de a aduna argumente, Strobel intervieveaza un numar de experti si autoritati recunoscute in domeniile lor de stiinta. El a condus analiza de caz fara nici o partinire religioasa – in afara de inclinatia lui spre ateism. Este remarcabil, ca dupa adunarea si examinarea critica a dovezilor pentru sine insusi, Strobel a devenit crestin. Uimit de constatarile sale, el a adunat dovezile intr-o carte pe care a intitulat-o Pledoarie pentru Cristos, pentru care a fost distins cu Medalia de Aur. Strobel cere de la fiecare cititor un singur lucru – ramaneti nepartinitori in examinarea dovezilor. La sfarsit, analizati dovezile pentru voi insiva, actionand ca singurul jurat in procesul lui Cristos.

Click here to read Genesis 25-33, the Biblical account of the life of Jacob.
some excerpts taken from D.A.Carson's 'For the Love of God" Volume I:
Genesis 27 is in many ways a pathetic, grubby account. Earlier Esau had despised his birthright (25:34); now Jacob swindles him out of it. In this Jacob is guided by his mother Rebekah, who thus shows favoritism among her children and disloyalty to her husband. Esau throws a tantrum and takes no responsibility for his actions at all. indeed, he nurses his bitterness and plots the assassination of his brother. The family that constitutes the promised line is not doing very well.
Yet those who read the passage in the flow of the entire book remember that God himself had told Rebekah, before the twin brothers were born, that the older will serve the younger (25:23) Perhaps
that is one of the reasons she acted as she did: apparently she felt that God needed a little help in keeping his prediction, even immoral help. Yet behind these grubby and evil actions God is mysteriously working out his purposes to bring the promised line to the end he has determined. Certainly God could have arranged to have Jacob born first, if that was the man He wanted to carry on the line. Instead, Esau is born first, but Jacob is chosen, as if to say that the line is important, but God's sovereign, intervening choosing is more important than mere human seniority, than mere primogeniture.
The name "Bethel" means House of God. The event that gave rise to the name (Gen. 28) was a mixed bag. There is Jacob, scurrying across the miles to the home of his uncle Laban. Ostensibly he is looking for a godly wife–but the previous chapter makes clear that he wishes to escape being assassinated by his own brother in the wake of his own tawdry act of betrayal and deceit. Judging by the requests he makes to God, he is in danger of having too little food and inadequate clothing, and he is already missing his own family (28:20-21)Yet here God meets him in a dream so vivid that Jacob declares,"How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, this is the gate of heaven" (28:17).
For his part, God reiterates the substance of the Abrahamic Covenant to this grandson of Abraham. The vision of the ladder opens up the prospect of access to God, of God's immediate contact with a man who up to this point seems more driven by expedience than principle. God promises that his descendants will multiply and be given this land. The ulrimate expansion is also repeated: "All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring" (28:14). Even at the personal level, Jacob will not be abandoned, for God declares, "I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back over to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you" (28:15).
Awakened from his dream, Jacob erects an altar and calls the place Bethel. But in large measure he is still wheeler-dealer. He utters a vow: If God will do this and that and the other, if I get all that I want and I hope for out of this deal, "then the Lord will be my God" (28:20-21).
And God does not strike him down! The story moves on: God does all that he promised, and more. All of Jacob's conditions are met. One of the great themes of Scripture is how God meets us where we are: in our insecurities, in our conditional obedience, in our mixture of faith and doubt, in our fusion of awe and self interest, in our understanding and foolishness. God does not disclose Himself only to the greatest and most stalwart, but to us, at our Bethel, the house of God.
When I was a child in Sunday School, I learned the names of the twelve tribes of Israel by singing a simple chorus: "These are the names of Jacob's sons:/Gad and Asher and Simeon,/Reuben, Issachar, Levi,/Judah, Dan and Naphtali-/Twelve in all, but never a twin–/Zebulun, Joseph and Benjamin."
But many more years passed before I grasped how important are the twelve tribes in the Bible's storyline. Many of the dynamics of the rest of Genesis turn on their relationships. The organization of the nation of Israel depends on setting aside one tribe, the Levites, as priests. From another son, Judah, springs the Davidic dynasty that leads to the Messiah. Over the centuries, the tribe of Joseph would be divided into Ephraim and Manasseh; in substantial mesaure, Benjamin would merge with Judah. By the last book in the Bible, Revelation, the twelve tribes of the old covenant constitute the counterpoint to the twelve apostles of the new covenant: this twelve by twelve matrix (i.e. 144, in the symbolism of this apocalyptic literature) embraces in principle the whole people of God.
But, what tawdry beginnings they have in Genesis 30. The deceit of Laban in Genesis 29, which resulted in Jacob's marrying both Leah and Rachel, now issues in one of the most unhealthy instances of sibling rivalry in holy Scripture. Each of these women from this family is so eager to outshine the other that she gives her handmaid to her husband rather than allow the other to get ahead in the race to bear children. So self-centered and impetuous are the relationships that another time Rachel is prepared to sell her husband's sex time to her sister Leah for a few mandrakes. Polygamy has taken hold, and with it a mess of distorted relationships.
From these painful and frankly dysfunctional family relationships spring eleven sons and one daughter (the birth of the last son, Benjamin, is reported in chap. 35). Here are the origins of the twelve tribes of Israel, the foundations of the Israelite nation. Their origins are not worse than those of others; they are merely typical. But already it is becoming clear that God does not deal with this family because they are consistently a cut above other families. No, he uses them to keep his covenantal promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He graciously perseveres with them to bring about his grand, redemptive purposes. The tawdry family dynamics cannot possibly prevent the universe's sovereign from keeping his covenantal vows.
In Genesis 32 Jacob is returning home and he is still frightened half to death of his brother…Jacob left the tents of his parents a single man, taking almost nothing with him, while here he returns home a rich, married man with many children.
But the deepest differences between the two journeys are reflected in Jacob's changed attitude toward God. On the outbound trip, Jacob takes no initiative in matters divine. He simply goes to sleep (Gen 28). It is God who intervenes with a remarkable vision of a ladder reaching up to heaven. When Jacob awakens, he acknowledges that what he experienced was some sort of visitation from God (28:16-17), but his response is to barter with God: if God will grant him security, safety, prosperity, and ultimately a happy return home, Jacob for his part will acknowledge God and offer him a tithe.
Now it is rather different. True, God again takes the initiative: Jacob meets angelic messengers (32:1-2). Jacob decides to act prudently. He sends some of his people ahead to announce to Esau that his brother is returning. This spawns devastating news: Esau is coming to meet him, but with 400 men.
On the one hand, Jacob sets in motion a carefully orchestrated plan: successive waves of gifts for his brother are sent ahead, with each of the messengers carefully instructed to speak to Esau with the utmost courtesy and respect. On the other hand, Jacob admits that matters are out of his control. Bartering is gone; in "great fear and distress" (32:7) Jacob takes action, and then prays, begging for help. He reminds God of his covenantal promises, he pleads his own unworthiness, he acknowledges how many undeserved blessings he has received, he confesses his own terror (32:9-12). And then, in the darkest hours, he wrestles with this strange manifestation of God himself (32:22-30).
Twenty years or so have passed since Jacob's outward-bound journey. Some people learn nothing in twenty years. Jacob has learned humility, tenacity, godly fear, reliance upon God's covenantal promises, and how to pray. None of this means he is so paralyzed by fear that he does nothing but retreat into prayer. Rather, it means he does what he can, while believing utterly that salvation is of the Lord. By the time the sun rises, he may walk with a limp, but he is a stronger and better man.
Jacob's story with his 12 children, who are the 12 tribes of Israel continues through Joseph. You can read Joseph's story here (in English-including maps of Joseph's journey when sold into slavery by his brothers) and you can read an English illustration of Joseph, the foreshadow to the Savior here; also read a Romanian article (excerpt from book by Iosif Ton- Ce l-a tinut pe Iosif curat, aflat atit de departe de casa? Part 1 & 2). Lastly you can view the story of Joseph and his brothers in a film (English with Romanian subtitles)
One of the most difficult things to grasp is that the God of the Bible is both personal–interacting with other persons–and transcendent (i.e. above space andtime–the domain in which all our personal interactions with God take place).As the transcendent Sovereign, he rules over everything without exception, as the personal Creator, he interacts in personal ways with those who bear his image, disclosing himself to be not only personal but flawlessly good. How to put those elements together is finally beyond us, however frequentlythey are frequently assumed in Scripture.
When Jacob hears that Joseph is alive, he offers sacrifices to God, who graciously discloses himself to Jacob, once again: "I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there. I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again. And Joseph's own hand will close your eyes" (Gen 46:3-4).
The book of Genesis makes it clear that Jacob knew that God's covenant with Abraham included the promise that the land where they were now settled would one day be given to him and his descendants. That is why Jacob needed the direct disclosure from God to induce him to leave the land. Jacob was reassured on three fronts: (a) God would make his descendants multiply into a "great nation" during their sojourn in Egypt, (b) God would eventually bring them out of Egypt, (c) at the personal level, Jacob is comforted to learn that his long-lost son Joseph will attend his father's death.
All of this provides personal comfort. It also discloses something of the mysteries of God's providential sovereignty, for readers of the Pentateuch know that this sojourn in Egypt will issue in slavery, that God will then be said to "hear" the cries of his people, that in the course of time he will raise up Moses, who will be God's agent in the ten plagues, the crossing of the Red Sea, the granting of the Sinai covenant and the giving of the law, the wilderness wanderings, and the (re)entry into the Promised Land. The sovereign God who brings Joseph down to Egypt to prepare the way for this small community of seventy persons has a lot of complex plans in store. These are designed to bring his people to the next stage of redemptive history, and finally to teach them that God's words are more important than food (Deut 8).
One can no more detach God's sovereign transcendence from his personhood or vice versa, than one can safely detach one wing from an airplane and still expect it to fly.

PREDICI Video:
Pastor Richard Wurmbrand (March 24, 1909 – February 17, 2001)
Sabina (Oster) Wurmbrand (July 10, 1913 – August 11, 2000)
Many people called him the "Voice of the Underground Church" and others referred to him as the "Iron Curtain St. Paul." This humble man who began the ministry of The Voice of the Martyrs was the Rev. Richard Wurmbrand. Richard's life was a partnership with the equally amazing Sabina, whom he married on October 26, 1936.
Richard Wurmbrand was born the youngest of four boys in a Jewish family on March 24, 1909, in Bucharest, Romania. Gifted intellectually and fluent in nine languages, Richard was active in leftist politics and worked as a stockbroker.
After their marriage, Richard and Sabina were converted to Christ in 1938, chiefly because of the influence of a German carpenter, Christian Wölfkes. They joined the Anglican Mission to the Jews in Bucharest. Richard was ordained, first as an Anglican, and then after World War II as a Lutheran minister.
During World War II, Richard and Sabina saw an opportunity for evangelism among the occupying German forces. They preached in the bomb shelters and rescued Jewish children out of the ghettos. Richard and Sabina were repeatedly arrested and beaten and, at least once, nearly executed. Sabina lost her Jewish family in Nazi concentration camps.
In 1945 Romanian Communists seized power and a million "invited" Russian troops poured into the country. Pastor Wurmbrand ministered to his oppressed countrymen and engaged in bold evangelism to the Russian soldiers.
That same year, Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand attended the Congress of Cults organized by the Romanian Communist government. Many religious leaders came forward to praise Communism and to swear loyalty to the new regime. Sabina said, "Richard, stand up and wash away this shame from the face of Christ." Richard warned, "If I do so, you'll lose your husband."
"I don't wish to have a coward as a husband," she replied. Thus Richard declared to the 4,000 delegates, whose speeches were broadcast to the whole nation, that their duty is to glorify God and Christ alone.
Between 1945 and 1947, Richard distributed 1 million Gospels to Russian troops, often disguising the books as Communist propaganda. Richard also smuggled Gospels into Russia. On December 30, 1947, the People's Republic of Romania was proclaimed.
Richard Wurmbrand kidnapped
On February 29, 1948, the secret police arrested Richard while on his way to church and took him to their headquarters. He was locked in a solitary cell and labeled 'Prisoner Number 1.'
In 1950, his wife Sabina was also imprisoned. She was forced to serve as a laborer on the Danube Canal project, leaving their nine-year-old son, Mihai, alone and homeless. Following her release in 1953, the Romanian authorities informed her that Richard had died in prison.
A Christian doctor masquerading as a Communist Party member discovered Richard alive in prison. In a general amnesty, Richard was released in 1956 after serving eight-and-a-half years in prison. He was warned never to preach again. While in prison, he went through horrific tortures at the hands of the brutal secret police. Despite the treatments and the warnings he received from his persecutors, Richard resumed his work with the "underground" churches after his release.
He was re-arrested in 1959 through the conspiracy of an associate, and sentenced to 25 years. He was accused of preaching ideas contrary to Communist doctrine. Due to increased political pressure from Western countries, Richard was granted another amnesty and released in 1964.
In December 1965, the Norwegian Mission to the Jews and the Hebrew Christian Alliance paid $10,000 in ransom to the Communist government to allow the Wurmbrand family to leave Romania. Reluctant to leave his homeland, Richard was convinced by other underground church leaders to leave and become a "voice" to the world for the underground church. Richard, Sabina, and their son Mihai left Romania for Norway and then traveled on to England.
The birth of a unique ministry
Richard began his ministry of being a voice for persecuted Christians in England with Rev. Stuart Harris, where he also wrote his testimony of persecution, Tortured for Christ. Later, Richard moved on to the United States, and in 1966 he appeared before a U.S. Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, where he stripped to the waist and revealed 18 deep torture wounds on his body. His story spread rapidly, leading to more and more speaking engagements.
In 1967, the Wurmbrands officially began a ministry committed to serving the persecuted church, called Jesus to the Communist World (later renamed The Voice of the Martyrs). In the same year, Richard released his book, Tortured for Christ.
In October, 1967, the first monthly issue of The Voice of the Martyrs newsletter was published in the U.S. By the mid-1980s his work was established in 80 restricted nations with offices in 30 countries around the world.
In 1990, after the fall of Nicolae Ceausescu in December 1989, Richard and Sabina returned to Romania after 25 years in exile and were warmly received. A printing facility and bookstore were opened in Bucharest, and the officials of the city offered to store Christian books in a room below the palace of Ceausescu, the very site where Richard had been held in solitary confinement.
Richard retired from the day-to-day work of The Voice of the Martyrs in 1992, but he continued as a consultant and member of the board of directors, maintaining a keen interest in the work until his death in 2001.
During his ministry, Richard wrote 18 books in English and others in Romanian, some of which have been translated into 38 different languages. His most well-known book is Tortured for Christ. He received numerous honors and citations during his lifetime for his work and ministry.
Richard is remembered with great affection as an outstanding man of God, passionate for the cause of Christ, powerful in evangelism, and persevering in suffering for the sake of the Jesus he loved. Sabina, who passed away August 11, 2000, is remembered as a woman of great integrity, a student of the Scriptures, a mighty faith warrior and a true help mate to her husband.

O scurta biografie de la ViataVesnica.ro
Preot şi doctor în teologie, a fost primul reformator protestant ale cărui reforme au fost aplicate în Bisericile Evanghelice-Luterane.
Reforma protestantă din Germania a fost începută de Martin Luther în 1517. El a încercat să reformeze Biserica Catolică, dar din cauza rezistenţei de care a dat dovadă, Biserica a fost împărţită în structura actuală.
Martin Luther s-a născut în Eisleben, Saxonia, la 10 noiembrie 1483, părinţii lui fiind Hans şi Margaret Ziegler Luther. La scurt timp după naşterea lui Luther, familia s-a mutat în Mansfeld, unde tatăl, Hans, a lucrat ca miner. Tânărul Martin a studiat la Magdeburg şi Eisenach înainte să se înscrie la Universitatea Erfurt. Îndrumat de tatăl său, Luther a început în 1505 să studieze dreptul, dar ulterior s-a dedicat carierei ecleziastice, devenind călugăr al ordinului augustinian. Martin Luther şi-a luat doctoratul în teologie în 1512 şi a devenit profesor de ştiinţe biblice la prestigioasa Universitate Wittenberg.
Seriozitatea cu care Luther şi-a susţinut vocaţia sa religioasă l-a condus la o criză personală profundă: se întreba cum era posibil să reconcilieze cerinţele legii lui Dumnezeu cu incapacitatea omului de a le urma. El a găsit răspunsul în Noul Testament: Dumnezeu, devenind om în Isus Cristos, a împăcat omenirea cu el. Ceea ce era cerut omenirii nu era o respectare strictă a legilor şi a obligaţiilor religioase, ci un răspuns de credinţă, răspuns acceptat de Dumnezeu. Aceasta credinţă trebuia să se bazeze pe dragoste, nu pe frică.
Martin Luther
Credinţa a lui Martin Luther l-a facut să intre în 1517 în conflict cu Biserica Romano-Catolică. Papa Leon al X-lea, pentru a strânge fonduri în vederea construirii Bazilicii Sf. Petru din Roma, a vândut credincioşilor indulgenţe. Prin vânzaresa de indulgenţe se oferea, în schimbul unei donaţii băneşti, anularea suferinţelor vremelnice datorate păcatului – odată iertat prin pocăinţă. Luther s-a declarat împotriva acestei practici.
La 31 octombrie 1517, Martin Luther a afişat pe uşa principală a bisericii din Wittenberg o listă cu cele 95 de teze. Ele cereau interzicerea comerţului cu indulgenţe. Aceste teze au circulat repede prin Germania şi au cauzat o mare controversă. Papa a ordonat ca Luther să compară la Augsburg, în faţa cardinalului Thomas Cajetan. Cardinalul i-a cerut să-şi retracteze cele 95 de teze. Luther a replicat că şi le va retrage doar dacă i se va dovedi pe baza Bibliei că el este cel ce greşeşte.
În 1521, papa, prin bula de excomunicare emisă împotriva lui Luther, a cerut împăratului Carol al V-lea să-l execute. Acesta, în loc să satisfacă dorinţa papei, a convocat o adunare pentru examinarea lui Luther. Oficialităţile din dietă i-au cerut să-şi retragă declaraţiile. Luther a refuzat, iar membrii dietei l-au declarat indezirabil.
Luther reuşit să scape de pedeapsă cu ajutorul prietenului lui, guvernatorul Saxoniei, care l-a ascuns în castelul din Wartburg, castel aflat în apropiere de Eisenach. Lui Luther i-a pus pseudonimul cavalerul George. Pe durata şederii sale în Wartburg, Luther a început să traducă Noul Testament în limba germană.
Preocuparea principală a împăratului era războiul cu Franţa, aşa că în cele din urmă Luther şi-a putut permite să revină la catedra din Wittenberg. Încercările sale de reformare a bisericii locale nu au avut succes în Europa Centrală în timpul vieţii sale, dar au fost continuate de discipolii săi. În 1524 numeroşi ţărani din Germania s-au folosit de teoria lui Luther ca pretext pentru a declanşarea unei revolte ţărăneşti.
În 1525, Martin Luther s-a însurat cu fosta călugăriţă Katharina von Bora, arătându-se astfel adversar al impunerii celibatului preoţesc. Restul vieţii şi l-a petrecut scriind, ţinând predici şi organizând Reforma bisericii în Saxonia. Luther a murit la 12 februarie 1546 în Eisleben, oraşul în care se născuse.
Luther este cunoscut ca "părintele Reformei". Intenţia lui însă nu a fost crearea unei Biserici noi, alternative, ci înnoirea întregii Biserici Universale.

Binecuvintata fii inchisoare – film dupa cartea lui Nicole Valery. Plon, Paris. Despre experienta carcerala : De la Soljeniţîn la Steinhardt: Gulagul între suferinţă mărturisită şi credinţă.
Alexander Soljenitin – Toti scriitori care au vorbit despre inchisoare fara sa fi trecut prin ea s-au simtit obligati sa-si arate simpatia fata de detinuti si sa blesteme inchisoarea. Eu am stat acolo mult timp, acolo mi-am faurit sufletul si pot spune fara ocol: BINECUVINTATA FII INCHISOARE….. binecuvintat fie rolul care l-ai jucat in existenta mea!

Scriitorul rus, care a decedat la 3 august 2008, la vârsta de 89 de ani, a condamnat neîncetat universul inuman al lagărelor sovietice. Arestat în 1945 pentru că l-a criticat pe Stalin, a stat opt ani în închisoare.
A primit premiul Nobel pentru literatură în 1970, dar, în 1974, autorităţile de la Moscova i-au retras cetăţenia sovietică, expulzându-l din URSS. În 1973, Aleksandr Soljeniţîn publicase "Arhipelagul Gulag" în Occident şi a fost acuzat de trădare. A locuit apoi în Germania, Elveţia şi Statele Unite ale Americii, înainte de a reveni în Rusia, în 1994, după destrămarea Uniunii Sovietice. După întoarcerea în ţara natală, el a condamnat evoluţia Rusiei postsovietice.
Literature of Protest: Alexandr Solzhenitsyn
The high school physics-teacher-turned-novelist whose writings shook an empire by Edward E. Ericson, Jr.
January 1, 2000
A high school teacher in his hovel far from home spends every spare minute writing—and then burying the manuscripts in jars. Who could have guessed that he was changing history? A Soviet-era joke set in the future has a teacher asking who Soviet president Leonid Brezhnev was and a schoolgirl replying, "Wasn't he some insignificant politician in the age of Solzhenitsyn?"
As a boy, Alexandr Solzhenitsyn planned to find fame through commemorating the glories of the Bolshevik Revolution. But as an artillery captain, he privately criticized Stalin and got packed off to eight years in the prison camps. There, the loyal Leninist encountered luminous religious believers and moved from the Marx of his schoolteachers to the Jesus of his Russian Orthodox forefathers: "God of the Universe!" he wrote, "I believe again! Though I renounced You, You were with me!"
After prison, Solzhenitsyn poured out once-unimaginable tales of the brutality of Soviet prison life. With One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, the unknown author became lionized worldwide as a truth-telling freedom-fighter. A publishing event that Premier Nikita Khrushchev authorized as part of his de-Stalinization campaign looks, in retrospect, like the first crack in the Berlin Wall.
The Gulag Archipelago, a history of the Soviet concentration camps, prompted the Kremlin to ship the author westward in 1974.
At home, Solzhenitsyn had scolded the Soviet leaders for their attempted "eradication of Christian religion and morality" and for substituting an ideology with atheism as its "chief inspirational and emotional hub." But once in the West, he scolded Western elites for discarding "the moral heritage of Christian centuries with their great reserves of mercy and sacrifice" and for substituting "the proclaimed and practiced autonomy of man from any higher force above him."
Thus many Western intellectuals also turned against him (one headline bellowed, "Shut Up, Solzhenitsyn"). Despite his moderate political inclinations, critics pinned false labels on him: reactionary, chauvinist, monarchist, theocrat, even anti-Semite.
Solzhenitsyn replied, "They lie about me as if I were already dead," and complained, "Nobody ever gives any quotes."
Moving to Vermont and listening only to "the sad music of Russia," Solzhenitsyn fulfilled his boyhood plan with The Red Wheel, but now the Bolshevik Revolution was not celebrated but lamented. And "the main cause of the ruinous Revolution that swallowed up some sixty million of our people" was—as he had heard his elders starkly say—that "men have forgotten God." That forgetting is also "the principal trait of the entire twentieth century."
Today as the Cold War rapidly disappears from modern consciousness, Solzhenitsyn is less well-known. But he remains the indispensable witness to and keenest interpreter of the century's greatest intellectual and political conflict. New Yorker editor David Remnick calls him our age's "dominant writer" and says, "No writer that I can think of in history, really, was able to do so much through courage and literary skill to change the society they came from. And, to some extent, you have to credit the literary works of Alexandr Solzhenitsyn with helping to bring down the last empire on earth."
Edward E. Ericson, Jr., is a professor of English at Calvin College, Grand Rapids, Michigan, and author of Solzhenitsyn and the Modern World (Regnery Gateway, 1993).

In his autobiographical The Oak and the Calf, Alexandr Solzhenitsyn recalls how he "wrote" in the camps, where writing was forbidden—and how vulnerable his work was.
In the camp, this meant committing my verse—many thousands of lines—to memory. To help me with this, I improvised decimal counting beads and, in transit prisons, broke up matchsticks and used the fragments as tallies. As I approached the end of my sentence, I grew more confident of my powers of memory, and began writing down and memorizing prose—dialogue at first, but then, bit by bit, whole densely written passages. … But more and more of my time—in the end as much as one week every month—went into the regular repetition of all I had memorized.
Then came exile, and right at the beginning of my exile, cancer. … In December [1953] the doctors—comrades in exile—confirmed that I had at most three weeks left.
All that I had memorized in the camps ran the risk of extinction together with the head that held it. This was a dreadful moment in my life: to die on the threshold of freedom, to see all I had written, all that gave meaning to my life thus far, about to perish with me. …
I hurriedly copied things out in tiny handwriting, rolled them, several pages at a time, into tight cylinders and squeezed these into a champagne bottle. I buried the bottle in my garden—and set off for Tashkent to meet the new year and to die. [In fact, he was treated and recovered completely.]

Hi. I am a complete novice and do not know code. I'm using the template 'WPstart' to create a simple, static, information site. This is not a blog, and there is no purpose for anyone to comment, send a reply, or know when something was posted and by whom.
My index page is not a "page" it is a "post" (which I dont quite understand), so it has a byline for "Author" and "Date" and such. I want to get rid of that. And each additional page has a "Reply" box at the bottom of the page for comments. I want to get rid of that too. So far I have not found any easy way to do it. I've tried it via the widgets, with no luck.
Many thanks in advance for any help.

Before the end of 2009, Mississippi's Make-A-Wish Foundation will have granted eighty wishes to children around the state.
But the foundation says it's in need of donations and volunteers. It holds fundraisers like "Walk for Wishes", but says it has granted 24 wishes already this year, with the money coming from reserve funds.
"Our biggest need right now is for donors, for sponsors for these children so we can grant these wishes," said Ricky McCraw, community development coordinator. "We're just like everyone else. The economy has had its effect. We've felt the impact of the economy. But these children are going to continue to come to us. You know, these illnesses are not going to let off these children so we're going to continue to have children come to us."

I Googled my name today and was shocked to find a 20+ year old mugshot for a minor traffic infraction was THE FIRST RESULT...
I was 'arrested' for the heinous crime of unpaid parking tickets... These were paid immediately and I thought that the entire incident was forgotten.... until this morning. My mugshot does not appear with the charge displayed, so for anyone knows I was arrested for the worst crime that they can think of.
I want this off of the internet, but apparently it is not a crime because the records are public. I requested that the page be removed from their site and received an email from Rapesh contacting me from a gmail account. Rapesh told me that they only remove via their remove mugshot button.
I didn't see it the first time, it's a checkout page that requires money. $50-$100 TO REMOVE A 20+ YEAR OLD MUGSHOT FROM MY GOOGLE RESULTS!!!>!
I will not pay. This should be illegal. I know that the laws are needed to protect newspapers from publishing information about arrests, I just think that extorting someone for an unpaid parking ticket from the late 80's is complete bullshit. This might be legal, but it's still a RIPOFF.

It was hard making a descriptive title for this one. Here's the crux of it:
I have a page on which I display posts from a certain category. When going to the permanent link for one of these posts, I want a sidebar that displays posts from the same tag as that post (I will only need to assign one tag). Obviously, there is already a loop in the document to display the post.
I tried something like this, which seems to be the wrong approach:
$thetag = "single_tag_title();";
$postslist = get_posts('numberposts=5&orderby=date&tag=$thetag');
foreach ($postslist as $post) :
setup_postdata($post); ?>

Pressed by Backlog, U.S. Rethinks Citizenship Test
By SUSAN SACHS
Published: July 5, 1999
If all it took to become a citizen was knowing what caused the Revolutionary War, Grigoriy Brekhman would be in luck.
''The taxes were very high and the colonies hated England about the taxes because they had no rights,'' explained Mr. Brekhman, a 65-year-old immigrant from Ukraine, when the teacher in his citizenship class posed the question last week.
Correct, the teacher said, but not the best response.
''At the interview, they are looking for short answers,'' she advised her elderly Russian-speaking students at Bronx House, a Jewish community center. ''If you said, 'high taxes,' that would be very good.''
Mr. Brekhman is part of the largest group of applicants for citizenship in the nation's history. Altogether, 1.8 million people are waiting to be tested on their knowledge of English, civics and history.
The test is at the core of one of the weightier decisions any nation can make: who should be a citizen?
But for this important judgment, critics say, the Immigration and Naturalization Service relies on a process that is not uniform in content, administration or grading.
Even eager candidates like Mr. Brekhman, in the final analysis, are judged less on their understanding of citizenship and American values than on their ability to memorize a list of names, dates and facts, like the name of the Pilgrims' ship, the author of ''The Star-Spangled Banner'' and the colors of the flag.
Although officials supposedly work from the same set of 100 history and civics questions, the agency has found that failure rates vary widely across the country. The agency's critics say that is because the way questions are chosen and framed, and the way answers are assessed, depend on the mood, style or locale of the interviewer.
Partly because of a backlog of applications, caused largely by computer problems, that has overwhelmed the naturalization process in the last three years, the I.N.S. is now looking at ways to make the citizenship test more uniform and easier to administer. Inevitably, in re-examining the mechanics of naturalization, a debate has arisen on the more fundamental issues of what United States citizenship means and what the country should require a new citizen to know.
''It's not a question of making the naturalization process harder or easier,'' said Noah M. J. Pickus, assistant professor of public policy and political science at Duke University and one of the experts consulted by the I.N.S. ''But can we make it more a meaningful, coherent lever for accomplishing the kinds of aspirations we have, not only for immigrants, but also for native-born citizens?''
Immigration agency officials said that over the next few months they would decide what subjects to include in a revised civics and history test and how much applicants should know to pass the language and civics tests. They hope to solicit bids on a test-development contract in the fall.
''We've wanted to open up the issue on all fronts,'' said Doris M. Meissner, the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization. ''And it's implicit in our asking the question that we wanted the test looked at, both the way we use it and what we want the test to be.''
An applicant for citizenship now is tested for English proficiency and knowledge of the government during an interview with an immigration adjudicator that can range from 15 to 40 minutes. The process includes an oral exam in English on some history and civics topics and questioning about the personal data on the application form. In most cases, the adjudicator also dictates a few sentences in English and has the applicant write them down. The content and conduct of the interview and the judging of the writing are left entirely up to the adjudicator.
A new test will be part of a broader agency effort to streamline and standardize naturalization procedures, at a time when more foreigners than ever are seeking citizenship because of Federal cuts in benefits to noncitizens.
''We're looking for a testing process where there's as much consistency as possible throughout the agency,'' she said, ''and as much preparation by the applicants as possible, so they have the strongest chance of passing it if they prepare.''
Question of Revision Sets Off Alarms
Still, topics like immigration and citizenship tend to set political bells ringing, so the discussion of revising the tests may end as little more than an empty exercise. Ms. Meissner's agency, buffeted both by advocates for immigrants and by conservatives seeking to restrict immigration, is treading carefully.
Two years ago, the agency hired the consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers to poll a broad range of people, including experts in linguistics and civics and Congressional aides, on the same questions of revising the naturalization process.
Its report, which reviewed existing history, civics and English language standards but made no specific recommendations, was completed at the end of 1998. It has not been distributed outside the agency, in part to forestall a possible conservative backlash against tinkering with the process at all.

Southampton defender Dejan Lovren has hit out at his club after they turned down a £20million bid from Liverpool for his services.
The Croatian was unaware of the bid until he found out through his agent, with the Saints immediately rejecting the offer without consulting their defender.
The south coast club have already lost Rickie Lambert, Luke Shaw and Adam Lallana this summer along with boss Mauricio Pochettino and so are doing all they can to prevent an exodus.
Lovren though is furious at being kept at the club against his will and claims he no longer has anything to do with Southampton.
WANT MORE? >> Southampton news | Liverpool transfer news
"Liverpool made an offer, and the club didn't report it to me. Even after that, about the new Liverpool deals. It was not fair," Lovren told Croatian paper Jutarnji List.
"I learned about the offer from other people, it really hit me and I realised that I no longer have anything to do with Southampton. Liverpool has sent an offer of £20million, and they paid me £9million, they would have made more than twice.
"At this point I do not know what I will do and I do not like that. And indeed it was unbelievable that a few days ago they agreed to an offer of £20million.
It was in the morning and in the afternoon they said that I'm not on sale? Frankly, my head is in Liverpool. Anyway, I sent a letter to the club where I said all this I told you."
Lovren is a spoilt brat. He has several years left on his contract. If he had broken his leg at the world cup, would he still be wanting nothing to do with Southampton and would he refuse his wages whilst recovering. Contracts work both ways. He is acting like a five year old. He did the same in the away game at Spurs last season! Southampton are better off without him but have every right to hold out for the best price they can get for him from Liverpool or elsewhere
Lovren signed a four year contract when he joined Saints. Surely the club also has a right to be furious with his attitude to that contract. Saints do not have to accept any offers for him and do not have to tell him either. He is under contract and should shut up and get on with it. I would make him play in the reserves.

In this May 7, 2012, file photo, Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake arrive at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute gala benefit, celebrating Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada in New York. — AP Photo
LOS ANGELES: Jessica Biel says that before Justin Timberlake proposed, she didn't expect to ever get married.
The 30-year-old actress told The Associated Press on Friday that she feels ''wonderful'' about the engagement. Biel and Timberlake, 31, reportedly became engaged late last year but rarely speak publicly about their relationship.
Biel called the engagement ''wonderful. It's actually not anything I ever really thought was going to happen to me or that I really wanted. And when it happened it just seemed it just was right.'' No wedding date has been made public.
Biel is promoting ''Total Recall,'' which also stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale and Bryan Cranston.

For your consideration this Bible belonged to the Frayard family who immigrated from France to Holland to Columbia County,New York in the middle 18th century. When they arrived in America they changed their name to Fryer along the way which is found among Roots web sight and the Mormons web sight for family records with the names listed in the Bible. I have provided many pictures for your inspection that details the birth records. The Bible is signed twice under the church's seal by the minister. The most interesting inscription on this Bible is in the back where in 1791 John Fryer took a cow of David Fryer for a three year term and is to deliver the cow and the first calf. The inscription goes on by saying if the cow is killed by lightning, fallen or other they would not be held responsible. The Bible contains a hymn section and is complete and measures 3 1/4 x 6 1/4' inches would be difficult to find a better early American example.

Amy-Eloise Neale said she didn't know what type of race to expect in the 1,500-meter championship run.
But with a gold medal at stake, a sprint for the finish line in the final 100 meters was what Neale had to do to remain a perfect 3-for-3 with race wins at the 2010 USATF National Junior Olympics, squeaking out a victory by six-tenths of a second in Sacramento, Calif.
"I saw a nervous young lady with a triple crown awaiting," Snohomish Track Club coach Frank Dauncey said as he watched from the crowd, unable to coach the young running star because of WIAA rules. "A little nervous, a little frightened, but she ran very smart."
With only 100 meters between her and another gold medal, Neale of Glacier Peak High School found herself battling Peak Distance runner Gina Hauptman. Neale said she was in perfect position as she performs best off other runners, and nosed ahead at the finish with a time of 4 minutes, 42 seconds. Hauptman was just behind her at 4:42.63.
Neale said she was relieved to win the race as it had the stiffest competition, including Hauptman, who finished in third last year. Two other runners quickly took off ahead of the pack, but their pace slowed, allowing the pack to catch up, with Neale taking the lead. It came down to the battle between Neale and Hauptman, with the rest of the pack finishing nearly 10 seconds or more behind.
"It was a really stirring finish. It was a relief to her (to win the race)," Dauncey said, "and really nice to see the three gold medals hanging around her neck."
In her sixth year of running in the Junior Olympics, Neale is undefeated in eight races.
"It has just been a great week," Dauncey said. "She looked good from the start of racing on Tuesday and it culminated to be the perfect week for her."
In the same race, Oak Harbor's Christina Wicker (Whidbey Island Running Club) finished 12th at 5:09.49. Oak Harbor's Adrianna Royal (Federal Way Track Club) finished eighth in the 1,500 meter Young Women's competition at 4:55.05.
King's javelin thrower Curtis Clauson made the most of his final attempt, hurling the javelin 60.03 meters, good for third place in the Young Men's competition.

Museum of Natual History
Careers Through Technology visited the Musuem of Natual History in NYC in conjunction with the Buehler Challenger Center. CTT was treated to VIP treatment and visited the planetarium and saw the movie called Dark Matter. We also visited the Natural Disasters exhibit and learned about animals that live in extreme habitats. It was such a good day!
This year Careers through Technology has expanded its curriculum to include more direct instruction in skills of daily living. Although primarily a technology driven program, we recognize the importance of independence in a multitude of areas. An important aspect of our training is that of problem solving.
Everyone can benefit from having good problem solving skills since we can encounter problems on a daily basis. To start, we assist adults to identify what barrier or challenge prevent them from immediately reaching their goal. To do this, we guide each adult to observe and gather facts that help to define what the problem is. Once the problem has been identified, we partner with the adult to identify possible solutions, and describe the consequences of each solution. Questions are generated, so that each adult can explore if one solution is better than another, more realistic, or within their control. At the end of the exercise, we ask each adult to make the best decision possible and explain why they chose the solution they did. We may help an adult to identify a solution through trial and error.
Regardless of how the solution is selected, our instructional support always focuses on safety and authonomy.

Two sides who competed against each other in a regional football tournament reported one another for fielding an ineligible player and were both kicked out of the competition as a result.
Windsor and Flackwell Heath contested a semi-final of the Berks & Bucks Senior Trophy on March 6, with Flackwell emerging 3-2 winners in dramatic fashion thanks to a stoppage-time winner.
But in the days that followed, both teams discovered that their opponents had selected players who should not have been allowed to feature.
Flackwell keeper Craig Garrett tended goal for the full 90 minutes, but had played for Harefield in the Middlesex County Senior Cup earlier in the season.
Windsor's Jason Sheehan was also cup-tied as the midfielder took part in the Berks & Bucks Senior CUP with Chalfont St Peter.
Without an apparent shred of irony, both sides complained to the local FA about what their opponents had done. The Berks & Bucks footballing authorities investigated both situations and duly kicked both sides out of the Trophy for fielding ringers, fining them £100 apiece.

Friday, August 26, 2016 - Mirek and Martin RAW - FULL CONTACT
Mirek and Martin RAW - FULL CONTACT
Martin Polnak is laying on the bed with Mirek Madl is at his side, kissing and rubbing his chest. Then Mirek kisses Martin and starts to rub his groin too. He starts to nibble Martin's cock through his underwear. Then he releases Martin's cock and licks it before sucking it into his mouth. Martin moans as he enjoys the mouth on his cock. Mirek pulls Martin's underwear down further to get fuller access to the rock hard cock. He sucks on it some more and then moves onto his knees for Martin to return the favor. Martin takes Mirek's dick into his mouth and sucks it hard. They move into a 69 enjoying each other's throbbing cocks. Mirek then turns, back to Martin and offers up his hot ass. Martin's cock slides deep into the waiting ass and fucks it nice and deep. Mirek moans as he takes the cock in his hole. Martin pounds the ass as hard as he can as he grabs Mirek's cock and wank s it. They change position, with Martin between Mireks legs, his dick so deep in the ass. Mirek wanks himself as he takes that cock all the way. Quickly Mirek's cock shoots the hot, creamy, cum all over his belly as Martin continues to fuck him. Martin it then ready too and pulls out of the hot ass to shoot his hot load over Mirek's balls.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
You can watch my Vlog for this Newsletter by clicking above or by going over to the Blog :
Golly, are we ever closing out August with a heat-wave in Prague. Right now it's 26º C/81º F in Prague. For us that is HOT. Yesterday, Aida and I were walking on Kampa Island and we both nearly had heat strokes. Then I woke up this morning with a cold, haven't had one of those in donkey's years. I've managed to fight it off – I think. But right after I finish the Vlog, I'm going to put myself to bed. On Monday, I'm doing a castle tour with lots of guests to Prague. This will be the first real test of the bionic knee. And we have a delightful Newsletter today.
An excellent pairing, Martin Polnak and Mirek Madl give us a wonderful duo to start today's newsletter. Then we see Marek Milous receiving a helping hand and he is followed by handsome newcomer Taran Malek with his sessions tills shoot.
We have two very good candidates in casting today. Voloda Medved and Matej Soner are so different from each other but both look great. Because of the very hard cock on Voloda Medved he will be my pick for today.

Seen on Scene - Marceline Chamber Banquet
On Tuesday, the annual Marceline Chamber of Commerce Dinner was held at the Monnig Café. A buffet style dinner of fish, chicken, ham, and numerous side dishes and desserts were served. Chamber President Albert Yocom then highlighted some of the events, activities and accomplishments the Chamber was involved with during the past year: MAD Dollars, the Chamber website and Facebook page, local tourism, Missouri Highway 36 Heritage Alliance, Christmas lighting in Ripley Park, the Adopt A Buddy Program, Toonfest, the Downtown Halloween Event, Peanut Night, Senior Mailbox Program, Redneck Games participation, the Circus sponsorship, and the Wine and Arts Stroll. Yocom discussed making improvements and additions to some of those events. He announced that this is Marceline's 125th anniversary so there will be upcoming events honoring that milestone. There is even a book in progress featuring local history. Each of the local business persons in attendance then stood up, introduced themselves and any guests with them, and told a brief history of their association to Marceline. Chamber Secretary Chris Ankeney discussed the revitalization of downtown Marceline and some information was distributed about The Missouri Main Street Program (a program offering grants and services to competitively selected communities). The highlight of the evening was a video presentation featuring clips from the activities surrounding the 1998 Disney premiere of "The Spirit of Mickey" at the Uptown Theater.Posted Jan. 18, 2013
