Skip to comments.Apocalypse (Almost) Now
Posted on 11/24/2004 7:19:53 AM PST by DTaggart
If America's secular liberals think they have it rough now, just wait till the Second Coming.
The "Left Behind" series, the best-selling novels for adults in the U.S., enthusiastically depict Jesus returning to slaughter everyone who is not a born-again Christian. The world's Hindus, Muslims, Jews and agnostics, along with many Catholics and Unitarians, are heaved into everlasting fire: "Jesus merely raised one hand a few inches and . . . they tumbled in, howling and screeching."
Gosh, what an uplifting scene!
If Saudi Arabians wrote an Islamic version of this series, we would furiously demand that sensible Muslims repudiate such hatemongering. We should hold ourselves to the same standard.
Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, the co-authors of the series, have both e-mailed me (after I wrote about the "Left Behind" series in July) to protest that their books do not "celebrate" the slaughter of non-Christians but simply present the painful reality of Scripture.
"We can't read it some other way just because it sounds exclusivistic and not currently politically correct," Mr. Jenkins said in an e-mail. "That's our crucible, an offensive and divisive message in an age of plurality and tolerance."
Silly me. I'd forgotten the passage in the Bible about how Jesus intends to roast everyone from the good Samaritan to Gandhi in everlasting fire, simply because they weren't born-again Christians.
I accept that Mr. Jenkins and Mr. LaHaye are sincere. (They base their conclusions on John 3.) But I've sat down in Pakistani and Iraqi mosques with Muslim fundamentalists, and they offered the same defense: they're just applying God's word.
Now, I've often written that blue staters should be less snooty toward fundamentalist Christians, and I realize that this column will seem pretty snooty. But if I praise the good work of evangelicals - like their superb relief efforts in Darfur - I'll also condemn what I perceive as bigotry. A dialogue about faith must move past taboos and discuss differences bluntly. That's what blue staters and red staters need to do about religion and the "Left Behind" books.
For starters, it's worth pointing out that those predicting an apocalypse have a long and lousy record. In America, tens of thousands of followers of William Miller waited eagerly for Jesus to reappear on Oct. 22, 1844. Some of these Millerites had given away all their belongings, and the no-show was called the Great Disappointment.
In more recent times, the best-selling nonfiction book of the 1970's was Hal Lindsey's "The Late Great Planet Earth," selling 18 million copies worldwide with its predictions of a Second Coming. Then, one of the hottest best sellers in 1988 was a booklet called "88 Reasons Why the Rapture Will Be in 1988." Oops.
Being wrong has rarely been so lucrative.
Now we have the hugely profitable "Left Behind" financial empire, whose Web site flatly says that the authors "think this generation will witness the end of history." The site sells every "Left Behind" spinoff imaginable, including screen savers, regular prophecies sent to your mobile phone, children's versions of the books, audiobooks, graphic novels, videos, calendars, music and a $6.50-a-month prophesy club. This isn't religion, this is brand management.
If Mr. LaHaye and Mr. Jenkins honestly believe that the end of the world may be imminent, why not waive royalties? Why don't they use the millions of dollars in profits to help the poor - and increase their own chances of getting into heaven?
Mr. Jenkins told me that he gives 20 to 40 percent of his income to charity, and that's commendable. But there are millions more where that came from. Mr. LaHaye and Mr. Jenkins might spend less time puzzling over obscure passages in the Book of Revelation and more time with the straightforward language of Matthew 6:19, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth." Or Matthew 19:21, where Jesus advises a rich man: "Sell your possessions and give the money to the poor. . . . It will be hard for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
So I challenge the authors to a bet: if the events of the Apocalypse arrive in the next 10 years, then I'll donate $500 to the battle against the Antichrist; if it doesn't, you donate $500 to a charity of my choosing that fights poverty - and bigotry.
Gentlemen, do we have a deal?
I never bet on a certainty, the certainty is that all that won't happen...
I am sure fed up of being told I don't understand the Tanakh by people who wouldn't know the difference between a tet and a tav...
All this second coming mishmash enter in the category of how analphabetes understand a book...
BTW this kind of hysteria has been going on for 1700 years at least...
Anyway. Hope you have your flame-retardant jammies on.
This guy has obviously never seen Michaelangelo's Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel.
I just love a "tolerant" liberal to quote scripture to me. I would be willing to bet the horrible bigot Christian authors donate much more to charity than this commie hairball.
I will bet all of my lifes fortunes that the end of the world doesn't come within 10 years.
I don't think one should wager with the anti-christ.
Man, Kristof seems to have ripped me off....
On various Apocalyptikook threads (usually about them lying about increases in earthquakes, etc.) I've offered to bet any amount of money that the World doesn't end within the next 10, 25, 50 years, or whatever.
god.... is my bet...
Kinda moot, since if it does, would you really be expected to pay out? ;)
Daniel Webster was asked 200 years ago why he believed in God. His answer was quick and precise, "The Jews, sir the Jews." God has a plan for Israel, and we see it happening in front of our eyes. The restoration of Israel to the Land is a modern miracle. The rest of the prophecies will come to pass as well.
Having glanced at a couple in a bookstore they actually manage to be more poorly-written than the DaVinci Code, and that's an accomplishment.
Anyway, the Left Behind books are basically Religious Porn.
Yeah, that's the joke of it of course.
Webster was right as Christianity is a bastard offshoot of Judaism... Bastard in the sense that it is a throwback to politheism...
But for the rest..
Just look at Michael Moore.
These morons are incapable of gettin it, moral equivalency is their dogma, there is no right and wrong, just opinions and feelings, pathetic kool-aiders.
The problem I have with the "lef behind" series is that its poorly written. I mean we used to have Christian writers like CS Lewis and GK Chesterton and now we have these two guys.
(though I guess one could argue most "popular" fiction today isn't as good as it used to be)
Also it took two people to write the "left behind" series? yeesh.
I can't understand how the Da Vinci Code became such a success... Boring!
"BTW this kind of hysteria has been going on for 1700 years at least..."
You're right about that. One of the reasons there was such stagnation in Western civilization until the Renaissance was that nobody was motivated to do anything because they were all waiting around for the second coming...then they finally woke up.
If Komrade Kristoff were truly being intellectually honest, he wouldn't take the tired tack of 'Christian Fundamentalist= Islamic Fundamentalist.' The argument he outlines for the Christian side is 'God Will Judge You,' and the one for the Islamic side is 'WE Will Judge You.' He's being dishonest in equating them, but I'm sure he feels no need to be fair to people he so oobviously loathes.
Uh Mr. Kristof, the book is a novel of fiction. To say that everyone who reads the books thinks that this is what is coming soon is a serious leap. These guys are in business to sell books.
Matthew 6:19, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth." Or Matthew 19:21, where Jesus advises a rich man: "Sell your possessions and give the money to the poor. . . . It will be hard for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
Keep reading. Maybe the real meaning will come to you.
They already have -- it's called the 'Koran'...And they intend to create hell on earth...
Critic NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF (and assumbably a gnasher of teeth) has forgotten LaHaye and Jenkins has written a novel -- although the Bible has indeed earmarked certain "non-believers" with the distinct possibility of hell -- or at least "separation from the presense of God."
It was a good concept that would have made a great three book trilogy. Regardless, the series has sold millions of copies. (So what do I know!) I may borrow the last book from the library just to see how they portray the Second Coming...
One need not look further than the islamic koran....where it tells the muslim followers to "kill all infadels". How is that for "Hatemongering"?
Liberal Christians do not like to acknowledge the apocalyptic side of Jesus' message - they find it embarrassing. But scholars generally agree that those apocalyptic passages are among the most certainly authentic statements of Jesus. Nevertheless, I'm not into the specifics of the "Left Behind" series; I don't think it necessarily represents accurate Biblical scholarship.
Considering those great numbers of born-again Christians blowing themselves up in shopping malls and massacring children in schools and making DVDs of their beheadings of unbelievers, it is not hard to understand why liberals would be majorly concerned about this sort of hate speech...or, uhm, am I missing something here?
Another sicko from the NYTimes equating today's Christian fundamentalism with today's Islamic fundamentalism. This simplistic nonsense plays well in Manhattan I suppose.
Keep it up you blue state wise guys and know it alls and keep losing elections.
I agree it was the most predictable poorly written number one book ever.
Wasn't that a Disraeli quote?
But I've sat down in Pakistani and Iraqi mosques with Muslim fundamentalists, and they offered the same defense: they're just applying God's word.
Big difference here. Christians just tell how they see it will unfold. Followers of Islam attempt to impliment it every day...
Quote:The problem I have with the "lef behind" series is that its poorly written
I read the first 3 books and they were all the same. I've never read a series of book where the plot lines are so dragged out. I sometimes wonder if the authors are dragging out the story line to get more $$$$ knowing people will buy their books
"Why don't they use the millions of dollars in profits to help the poor - and increase their own chances of getting into heaven? "
Because that would be actually living their faith, rather than profiting from it.
You sir, have a very small and petty mind. In the name of common decency, try to control your insecurities and withhold your venom from this board.
For stating the truth?
"Having glanced at a couple in a bookstore they actually manage to be more poorly-written than the DaVinci Code, and that's an accomplishment.
Anyway, the Left Behind books are basically Religious Porn."
Agreed. I actually read the first one. Boy, what a stretch of fiction that was! To summarize, the anti-Christ Nicolae Carpathia comes to power in the UN and convinces all the world's military powers to give all their weaponry to him, via the UN.
Yeah, right. I can just see the Israelis blindly agreeing to given their billion-dollar military to the UN. And China, North Korea, the USA, etc.
Just far too unbelievable and poorly-written to boot.
"For stating the truth? "
That's probably a sin to some Christians.
Probably... :-)
try to tell some of them that the KJV is a flawed translation, and see the feathers fly!
Sheeps and Goats.
If you don't know what this means then your a goat.
Read Matt 25:31-46
As for the Left Behind series it is totally fiction based on a literal reading of the book of Revelation. The current theology of a rapture with a second chance came about on the early 1800's. The actual theological view is that when Jesus returns it is immediately judgement day and your then segregated as a sheep or a goat.
Baa Baa!
Even if that statement were correct, (and it shows an oustanding lack of scholarship), a decent person would not go out of their way to insult strangers. It's obvious what "religion" your value system is based on-- self worship.

To the Editor.—
It has been noted that the greatest tragedies in medicine occur when routine is broken. Unfortunately, this situation is prevalent when care is directed to our colleagues. Even when an effort is made not to "do anything special," this may conversely cause undue conservatism or hesitation at times of therapeutic urgency. Judgment is confounded by our own recognition of possible emotional involvement, making decision more difficult and action seem more perilous. I am sure most of us can relate to these stresses, but we also lack a prepared psychological praxis for these special circumstances.A common way to proceed when a fellow physician, important person, or hospital staff member requires treatment is to boost the patient to the "professor's service." This maneuver often compounds the issues already mentioned, while abdicating our responsibility and also therapeutic contribution.I do not have my own answer to this problem, but

She is really good and thorough and spends a lot of time with you. It is a bit funny, a couple of times she's made some Christian or Catholic references, and as an atheist, I find that stuff absurd and challenge her when she babbles such nonsense. But, as far as medical work, she does a great job!
Extremely good listener & Gives Feedback. Spends more than enough time with me going thru medical paperwork & Data explaining what it means. * reason I gave 3 stars on Promptness is because Wait time varies due to patient volume. Sometimes its 10 mins, sometimes 45. I Was diagnosed with central sleep apnea about this time last year by Dr Young & @ the time MISERABLE. Here I am a year later Feeling MUCH better ! Still working with Dr Young adjusting meds so I am actively seeing her every couple of months or so. Her Staff Is Incredibly friendly too !
Dr. Young is very compassionate, thorough, sharp as a tack and caring. She is getting to the root of my neurological issues. I have recommended her to friends and family. She has a team that is on the ball and very courteous.
Dr. Young was very thorough in diagnosing my problems. She took a great deal of time and effort to make sure I got the help I needed in order to heal. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family.
I was referred to Dr Young by my previous MD who moved out of Houston. Dr Young is the most informative doctor for sleep medicine that I have worked with as a patient and as a respiratory therapist. She takes time to diagnose and make recommendations for healthcare. I highly recommend her for sleep disorders.
Extremely happy with Dr. Young and all of her staff. Only doctor that I've ever had that will really talk to me and make recommendations about my concerns.
I highly recommend Dr Young.I was really scared to go to the Dr. about my headaches because I thought something was badly wrong and Dr. Young made me feel so much better and really spent alot of time with me. She is amazing and really cares about you and to get you feeling better.
During the approx. 15 years that Dr. Young has been my neurologist, she has given me my life back. First, she tamed the excruciating migraines that ran and ruined my life. When I started with Dr. Young, I had migraines on a nearly daily basis, migraines that would last at times for several weeks, and some migraines so intense that at times I seriously thought about suicide. Unlike previous physicians I had consulted, who settled for prescribing ever-stronger drugs to treat the migraines after they had started, Dr. Young undertook the task of making me healthy by preventing the onset of the migraines--not in a constant state of crisis, treatment, and recovery from migraines. I control my life now, instead of migraines controlling me. Although I have an occasional migraine, they are few and far between, and I know how to nip them in the bud. Second, Dr. Young diagnosed and treated my sleep apnea, which, at its most severe, prevented me from sleeping more than about an hour a night. Throughout, Dr. Young has treated me as a whole person, not a set of symptoms. I've always been impressed by the fact that she considers information about my life circumstances (family, work, emotional health) to be important clinical information, so she always asks about what is going on in my life--and listens very attentively to my responses.One note about waiting time to see Dr. Young: she has fabulous office staff and they all work to keep the office running smoothly and Dr. Young and her patients on schedule. However, when a patient REALLY needs more time than was originally scheduled, Dr. Young takes the time right then and there. Yes, that does mean that other people may have to wait a bit. But it also means that on the occasion when YOU need a bit of extra time on YOUR visit, you can be sure that Dr. Young will give you the time and attention that you need--she won't rush you out the door with an appointment card to come back later, simply so she can stay "on schedule." I happen to appreciate that a lot, because that constitutes the best in clinical care.
I have been a patient of Dr. Young's for over a year. At every appointment I have had to wait around 2 hours; she is always running massively behind. This week I waited 2 1/2 hours, starting at 8:45 am, with no explanations given and no apologies, even though I inquired after 1 hour, and then at 1/2 hourly intervals. Then when I complained, I was told I "could come back at 1 pm." It is completely discourteous and disrespectful: patients' time is equally valuable. The fact that she is always running so far behind is evidence that she has no idea how to run a practice. Her office staff have no people skills, and seem surprised that anyone would object to waiting over 2 hours without explanation. They could AT LEAST apologize! I would highly discourage anyone to submit themselves to this practice.
I was run over by a large, flat-bed wrecker, while I was walking, 8 years ago this September. Dr. Young was my neurologist and she could not have treated me with more commpassion and care than she did. I would, and have, recommended her to others who need neurological care.
Dr Reed Young is a female.That makes you look not good

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. – Tomas Kundratek scored twice, including the overtime winner, and Dany Sabourin made 35 saves to help the HERSHEY BEARS to their seventh consecutive win on the road, a 4-3 decision over the Bridgeport Sound Tigers on Tuesday night at Webster Bank Arena. The game was also team captain Boyd Kane's 1,000th as a professional.
The Sound Tigers started the scoring at 3:39 of the first period, sparked by a scrap between defenseman Brett Gallant and BEARS forward Matt Clackson. Nino Niederreiter led a two-on-one rush by carrying down the left side and toward the goal line. He sent a perfect pass over a defenseman's stick and onto the tape of Johan Sundstrom for a one-timer that got by Sabourin.
The BEARS tied the game at 13:20, crashing the goal crease of Kevin Poulin. Zach Hamill backhanded a pass toward the top of Poulin's crease, where Clackson and Ryan Stoa were battling. Poulin sprawled to deny a chance, but Stoa got enough of the puck to slide it under the netminder and into the net.
Just 45 seconds later, Kundratek would take a faceoff win from Ryan Potulny and fire a hard slap shot that eluded Poulin inside the left goal post, giving the BEARS a 2-1 lead.
But before the period expired, the Sound Tigers evened the game. Casey Cizikas would flip the puck from the left corner toward a collection of bodies at Sabourin's net. The puck would bounce toward the open right side with Sabourin down, and Colin McDonald tipped it home at 17:03 for the equalizer.
Neither team was able to find the back of the net in the second period.
After surviving a four-minute power play for Bridgeport that was partially wiped out by a penalty assessed to Niederreiter, the BEARS would still find themselves back down by one goal. Sabourin denied McDonald on a partial breakaway, but the loose puck sat in the crease just long enough for Brandon DeFazio to stuff it home at 7:49.
Once again, the BEARS needed less than a minute to tie the game back up at 3-3. Jeff Taffe flipped a pass forward from neutral ice, and Evan Barlow used his speed to catch up to it, draw Poulin down and place a backhander under the crossbar for his second of the season at 8:21.
Bridgeport dictated the pace through the first half of overtime, but in the final half-minute, Kundratek's heroics sent the BEARS to victory. The defenseman chipped a puck out of the BEARS' defensive zone and up the right boards. Kundratek out-raced Sound Tigers defenseman Jon Landry, poked the puck passed him and completed his breakaway by tucking a backhander inside the left post at 4:34.
Sabourin earned the win to improve to 5-4-0. Poulin fell to 10-7-2, making 24 saves on 28 shots. The BEARS did not receive a power play in the game, and killed off all five Sound Tigers power play chances.
The BEARS return home on Saturday, January 12 to host the Connecticut Whale at 7:00 PM. The first 5,000 fans will receive an ice scraper courtesy of UGI. Tickets for this game and all home games are on sale at the GIANT Center box office, by calling (717) 508-BEAR or online at TicketMaster.com.

Book: John Foster et. al., 2014. Putting Your Data to Work: Improving Instruction in CTE. Association for Career & Technical Education.
Discover a new perspective on the use of data-driven decision making and the positive impact it has in the CTE classroom. The term "data-driven decision making" is mentioned frequently in education, and it is most often discussed in reference to policy decisions related to reporting requirements and accountability. Though reporting requirements have their place in policy and accountability discussions, this frequently means little to the classroom teacher. This book explores multiple aspects of data-driven improvement in instruction and specifically targets the importance of gradient disaggregated objective technical skill data and its systematic use to continually improve instruction. The concepts and specific 'how-to' examples in this book are especially valuable for secondary, postsecondary, and adult educators. Don't wait to get started applying the valuable approaches to increasing the success of your students!

We will be reading and discussing Exploring Race in Predominantly White Classrooms: Scholars of Color Reflect (Routledge, 2014), edited by George Yancy and Maria del Guadalupe Davidson, a collection of essays that brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars of color to critically examine what it is like to explore race in predominantly white classrooms. It delves into the challenges academics face while dealing with the wide range of responses from both White students and students of color, and provides a powerful overview of how teachers of color highlight the continued importance and existence of race and racism. Exploring Race in Predominately White Classrooms is an essential resource for any educator interested in exploring race within the context of today's classrooms.

McCloskey: I'll Beat The Boy Who Knocked Khan Out
By Nick Parkinson, courtesy of The Daily Star
PAUL McCLOSKEY insists Amir Khan will have no choice but to give him a rematch if he beats his nemesis Breidis Prescott.
The Northern Irishman faces Colombian hitman Prescott in an eliminator for Khan's WBA world light-welterweight title in Belfast on Saturday.
Prescott knocked out Khan in under a minute three years ago – but the Bolton boxer has since rebuilt his career and captured two versions of the world title.
WBA and IBF champ Khan, 24 (below) has yet to name his next opponent after beating American Zab Judah in July.
Mexican Erik Morales is being considered for a fight on December 10 but former European champion McCloskey, 32, would love to be Khan's next challenger.
He is still bitterly angry about the decision to stop their fight in the sixth round in April.
McCloskey was halted by a cut caused by a clash of heads and said: "Khan is in a corner at the moment.
"He's looking for a big fight but there aren't many out there at the moment.
"I think the fight with me could happen and I would love the opportunity to avenge the last fight, because of the way it ended.
"But I will beat the boy who knocked Amir out and then we will see what he has to say."
McCloskey has also had strong words for Khan's reaction following their fight.
He said: "I thought he was a nice fella but after our fight he was totally unprofessional and arrogant at the press conference.
"If the fight happens with Khan I will be happy – but it is about the world title, not Amir Khan."

Americans should wake up to the reality that the chinese companies now.are playing catch up real fast .Look at these numbers and figure for yourself..
Look at these market cap from big american companies versus the chinese ones
and here come the chinese response
Just name a few in order to compare..So stop saying that LFC is selling 1$ insurance to the chinese men and women..
In another 5 years , i would think that the world most richest man will belong to a chinese man
It's time for America to wake up and do something about it rather than look down to everyone
Why "do something about it." Expansion of wealth in the world in a good thing. If you own a stock or bond, you want as many bidders for sell as possible. No?
What's your post to do with LFC stock?
while we can't underestimate the chinese, i personally think it's deja vu... think back to the 80's with japan. we were all led to believe that the japanese would control the world in 10-15 years (big yawn). same stage, different country this time around. quite frankly, and i don't mean to sound rascist, but the east asians seem to do better following the pact, as opposed to leading the pact. there's no denying the dynamism and hard work ethic of these people, but aside from mimicking (note I'm not using the word copying) business models from other countries, there hasn't really been much original thought or creation coming out of these countries.
china will a big story these next 10 years, but UNLESS they start developing their internal markets and ditch the save-every-penny mentality and learn how to be good consumers, they will probably go the same way of the japanese... (guarded affluence in a stagnant economy)
Your the one looking down at people........."richest man will be Chinese"............none of you would be working if you paid your workers what the US does, instead you pay .60 cents an hour in sweat shops, then export the products to America. Don't like America? Then don't export to us!! Then see how much your economy grows.
Why does america have to always be #1 in everything? You give up alot for being #1. What's the big deal of being number 1? How does that make you a better country or person? How much of your soul are you willing to give up to be #1? America's soul is making money, but forgetting its humanity towards others because of the almighty dollar.
It allows its people to go without healthcare because of corporate interests. Trusting the corporations to provide healthcare to its employees. Short term thinking - America.
Is #1 a good thing? I would rather be #1 in healthcare, education race relations and spiritual development.
america want to always be number 1 because if you aren't number 1, you are last!!
You are absolutly right,The big corp making the big bucks and the rest gets the scrap if there is any left.
How come as the richest person, he/she still belongs to someone?

Corporal Barczuk (no first name supplied) was the fire team leader. He belly-crawled
toward the bunker, "turkey looked" (a technique whereby a Marine under cover quickly
lifts his head to see and then immediately ducks back down) to assess the situation a
few times, and carefully planned a final assault. He used all available cover and

shrapnel, but was still the first to reach the bunker to lob several grenades through the

The Frankenmuth News
Serving Frankenmuth Since 1906
Vol. 111 No. 11 ~ In our 111th year!
Wednesday, September 21, 2016
City was on the "grow" for 2015-16
The City of Frankenmuth was on the grow over the past 12-18 months.
John Polomsky, the Franken-muth Planning Commission chairman, gave the board's annual report to Frankenmuth City Council members earlier this month.
The commission held nine regular meetings and one special meeting during the past 12 months and met jointly with the Township Planning Commission one time on September 22, 2015, to approve the final City & Township Joint Growth Management Plan. They also reviewed and recommended a revised Urban Limit Agreement with township officials.
"We had very good cooperative discussions with the Township Planning Commission throughout the process of updating our Community Master Plan," Polomsky said.
Overall, the commission approved, reviewed or recommend 15 action items over the past fiscal year.
One of the bigger, impactful items was approval of a site plan for the Frankenmuth Farmers Market, including a 4,375-square foot building that will house an incubator kitchen on North Main Street. A grand opening was held last month as the new location is fully operational.
The Covenant Glen assisted living facility at 1040 Covenant Drive had the largest site plan removal in 2015. The commission okayed a 14,520-square foot addition on the south side of its existing building. The addition included eight new living units to the three-year-old facility.
The panel approved a site plan requested by Mike Young Buick-GMC for an 80-space parking lot expansion on the property north of Talmer Bank, previously owned by Gary Hurand.
Frankenmuth Insurance also added to its parking lot inventory. The commission approved a site plan for an additional 100 parking spaces and a new carport on West Genesee Street.
Star of the West Milling Company had its site plan approved for a 24x38-foot packing annex addition to their food grade warehouse fronting on the abandoned Hubinger Street right of way north of East Tuscola Street.
Schaefer & Bierlein requested a special use permit to locate an off-road park at 1131 Weiss Street.
The commission also approved a site plan request by Lyle Davis for an 1,800-square foot storage building in the 200 block of West Tuscola Street.
The commission approved a special use permit requested by Kimberly Zehnder to locate a child care facility in the Gilmour Construction building at 1305 Weiss Street.
The Kingsbrook Place subdivision will be growing as No. 6 subdivision received approval of a new preliminary plat, requested by Wellman Construction.
The commission also held discussions with Leone Koester pertaining to the Mixed Use PUD Ordinance and the area on South Main Street that has been zoned as Mixed Use.
In other commission news, the members recommended approval of the 2016-2021 Capital Improvements Plan, recommended rezoning of 20 parcels on South Weiss Street to B-4 Zoning District and recommended adoption of an ordinance establishing special use permit standards and amending various sections of the Zoning Ordinance.
In addition to Polomsky, Lori Ettema is the vice-chair, Dave Geiger is the secretary and Phil Kerns is the zoning administrator. The members include Tim Dils, Jim Howe, Art Loeffler, Tim Meyer, Randy Trinklein and Bob Zeilinger.
"We appreciate the opportunity to make recommendations pertaining to planning and zoning issues to the City Council. The harmonious working relationship between the Planning Commission and the City Council makes our task much easier to carry out. We also want to express our appreciation for the excellent staff assistance we receive from Phil Kerns," Polomsky said.

How do i start my training?
I am 24yr and am wanting to join an mma club soon. Am wanting to know what kind of training will i need to do before i join to get me ready to train hard. Id like to know what will be a good training schedual for me for the next 2 weeks. Id like get some facts on the right daily/weekly training plans. I will start my training tomoro morning with a jog. Will i need to do any strength traing this week? Plse get back to me. I have just signed up to this web today and am trying to sus it out. Cheerz.
I'd start by doing a bit of running maybe but to be honest, the training in the MMA club will 'train' you so really, i'd just say get into it as soon as you can!!
I think just generally working on conditioning is the best idea. Get a good run in. [Don't just jog; there's a lot to be said for the importance of interval training and explosiveness above just sort of general cardio. Run some stairs or something.] Try doing 30 or 40 burpees. Try doing 50 pushups. Depending on how easy that is for you, fluctuate the numbers some, but that's a good minimum for substantive MMA training.
I agree with Killz and Iron man. Conditioning is your best bet. At my first MMA training session, a few years ago, I gassed badly and quickly. I was almost vomiting at one point. Long distance running is almost pointless for MMA. The only use being it will strengthen your lungs somewhat. Running steps is perfect. Interval training, burpees, squats and lunges are all good too. Without a little conditioning your first few weeks are gonna be killer. Do you have any experience in martial arts? Wrestling or anything that might give you a leg up in terms of conditioning? If not, heed the advice given here and check out the training logs and tips on this forum. Everyone here is very helpful and accomodating so if you have any more questions feel free to ask.

Description: Pivot Power POP:
Pivot Power's got a fresh new look. Like the original, Pivot Power Pop bends to fit any sized plug or adapter without wasting a single outlet, but this version brings bold, head-turning hues.
Finally, your power strip is something you'll want to showcase, not something you'll want to hide away. It's available in 5 all-new colors: blue, pink, green, white, and black.
Six pivoting outlets accommodate plugs and adapters of all shapes and sizes. That means you can always fill every outlet; yes, even those big ol' bricks. It hugs furniture (aww) and its 4-foot extension cord has a flat, 45-degree plug to put power in hard to reach places.
Care: Wipe with a dry cloth
Brand: Quirky

|Listing Status:
|Off Market
|Listing Type:
|2000 acres
|Property Type(s):
|Last Updated:
|Cropland Acres:
|Contact seller
|Property ID:
DescriptionFolks, this Irrigated Texas Farm for Sale is just 1/4 mile south of the Red River, 12 Miles north of DeKalb, TX and 40 miles west of Texarkana. Here we have a 48 - 52 inch Average Annual Rainfall. We're looking at 87 Bu average for Corn on dry-land & approximately 140 - 180 under irrigation with NO DRYING COST. A Local Market for Corn at 35 Cents (above) CBOT. Corn is not the optimum crop here, though. Double cropping Soy Beans & Wheat is the tradition, here. In many years, irrigation is only a back up. Pumping is very infrequent and very inexpensive compared to a $180 per acre, annual pumping cost in the High Plains.
We're looking at an average of 40 - 45 Bu wheat on dry-land and approximately 60 - 80 under pivot. 20 - 40 BU Soybeans on dry-land and approximately 45 - 55 under pivot. Keep in mind that on most High Plains Farms, your corners are a 25% extra cost without enough yield to justify the fertilizer. Here, every acre produces handsomely. There's no waste here, Folks. Hail Risk here is hardly even a factor.
This Farm has a Lease Value of $350,000 making it Texas Investment Property.
Taxes run approximately $2.75 per acre.
Acreage 2,000 /- deeded and contiguous acres with 1,742 /- cultivated and 919 /- acres under 6 pivots installed in 2008.
Terrain Flat.
Water 50' - 60' Wells.
Improvements 6 Reinke Pivots, John Deere Diesel Generators and Submersible Pumps.
Recreation Lots of Deer and Hogs.

Learn More About Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer have needlessly killed too many of our clients, people who were exposed to asbestos while serving their country, doing their jobs, and trying to live the American dream.
We know there is no winning a case like this because we can't give people back their health. For us, we know we've won cases when we receive the sincere and heartfelt thank yous from our clients – for battling the asbestos companies for justice, for helping them through a difficult time, and knowing they won't have to worry about supporting their families. That's why we fight the good fight.
Good News For Our Clients
We won a hard-fought two-week trial in St. Louis, MO, on July 2, 2015, with an $11,500,000 verdict for Mrs. Poage's loss of her husband. The jury found Crane Co. liable for the death of her husband and awarded her $1,500,000 in compensatory damages and another $10,000,000 in punitive damages. Read more here.
Even though our client and his wife told us they needed only $250,000 for her to get by on her own, we knew they were entitled to more. Read more here.
Ben is a man that I trust, respect and want to represent me and my family. Down to earth person, confident, knowledgeable and someone not to be pushed around. Very pleased with the work he did for me and my family and owe him a great gratitude for his help. A very nice person.
Jim has since referred two friends with mesothelioma to SWMK.Jim A.
I'm grateful I found SWMK Law, and not just because of the great result they got for me and my family. They truly listened and understood how the accident had affected our lives, and earned our trust with their determination, plain honesty and good judgment. I waited four years for my day in court, but because of that trust I was very comfortable with my decision to settle on the eve of trial.J.S.
From our first meeting, I knew we were in good hands with SWMK Law. The explaining of what had to be done and why made a complicated issue seem so clear. Their knowledge of my situation, the hustle to get things moving and the protection of my privacy were outstanding. Not only the lawyer, but the office staff were so helpful with any questions I had. Thank you, SWMK Law.Ray G.
Ben, I want to thank you and everyone else that helped Ken, and also thank you for the beautiful flowers & donation. I just don't know what Ken & I would of done if it wasn't for you and your firm. All of your firm was so very nice to us. Ken felt very highly of everyone! Thank you to everyone! May God bless you all.Janet L. & Family

Danny "The Human Punching Bag" Abaddi
Does anyone else think this guy sucks at fighting or am I the only one? First he got owned by lazy Ed Herman who didn't even try against him. Then he's like 'I'M AN ULTIMATE FIGHTER' and Tito Ortiz laughed and so did his team mates at him. Then he was talking about beating up Ken Shamrock. I'm sure he would really beat up Ken considering my cousin who is 19 could probably beat up crappy Danny. Ken would murder Danny if Danny attempted to beat him up. Then finally at last the punching bag Danny Abaddi faught Kalib Starnes, the man who should have beaten crappy Kendall at the finale and Danny got owned so badly. Then he cried like a women. Danny sucks, end of story.
Yea, Danny really is not ready for the ring. Thats all i have to say.
Well Kalib was being nice to him. He wouldn't say 'Danny sucks s---" on a talk show or anything like that or mean stuff. My cousin who is 19 years old could probably get Danny to the ground and TKO him with his fists.
Danny is a low quality tkd fighter, which basically means he is the worst of the worst. I don't even know how he got onto the show.
who is ur cousin
i thought danny was a homosexual the way he was waiting on matt hamill hand and foot. dont know how he got on the show.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Facebook bought Instagram for $1 billion, Betty White joined Twitter, and Google + gets a redesign. We're taking a look back at the week in social media.
-Facebook buys Instragram:
Instagram has only been around since late 2010. It started as an iphone app and this week Facebook bought it for 1 Billion dollars. They also launched their android app last week.
Instagram is a app to edit and share photos. It basically will function as an app to snap photos, and then you can edit on filters to make them look like old timey images or other kinds of filters. In addition to that it has become it's own smaller social network. Think of Twitter but with just photos. You can find friends on Intsagram and share with them or you can link it to Facebook or Twitter. There is also an option to keep the photos you take private.
Well since photos are such a big element of Facebook, it made sense they make this connection. According to the WSJ, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wanted to make the deal last summer.
Instagram is a strong app and it has better photo abilities that the Facebook app can't compete with. With it under the Facebook wing, we can probably expect the FB app to get a major overhaul and you'll see a dynamic change in how people post and share photos on Facebook. Where Facebook's mobile app suffers, the Instagram app excels. This will do a lot of good for Facebook on the mobile side.
Here is the link to Instagram's website. They will redirect you to their app depending on what kind of mobile device you have:
-Google + gets a makeover
On Wednesday Google +_ rolled out a fancy new look. They now have more similarities to Facebooks recent redesign with a cover photo. Google says the new look is to allow user to customize their experience. The biggest thing is allowing you to do more with photos on their network. The photos themselves will be much bigger now.
They are offering up a new explorer window (similar to Twitter's trending topics) you can now see what people are buzzing about on Google +. There is a new chat list on the right hand side of the feed. They have also redesigned how we can navigate around the news feed section. There is a panel of icons on the left that act like apps for navigating around Google +. This includes a Games section. You can find a game to play inside Google +. You can also navigate better to your pages if you moderate any.
Here is the link to Google +, check it out and see their new look. If you are on Google + or sign up, be sure to add WCSH6 and WLBZ2 to your circles:
- Facebook creates groups for schools
This one has been lost a bit under the Instagram news. If you have an active school email address you can joint a group from your college. This way you can see more easily what's going on on your campus. One of the big things with this is Facebook is going to allow file sharing for the groups. Meaning you could share lecture notes, class work.
-Text from Hillary: -- went crazy viral this week.
Secretary Clinton met with the two men who created Texts from Hilary this week. It's a funny website where the guys have created Memes of Hilary from photos as she travels. They're pretty funny and have gone viral after a lot of attention this week.
-Betty White Joined Twitter:
The 90-Year old joined Twitter this week and has once again taken the world by storm. Among her earliest tweets? She flirted with Ryan Seacrest.
You can follow Betty here: http://twitter.com/#!/bettymwhite
-Google glasses:
Google announced two weeks ago their Google glasses project. It brings the internet to you via a special set of glasses. Now we feel these seem kind of odd and we're not sure how practical it is. Check it out for yourself and then when you're done see how The Daily Show poked some holes in it too, it's pretty funny:
Google Glass Project
The Daily Show looks at Google Glasses and Instagram
-Guy walks into a bear while texting:
This week a bear was found wandering through a California neighborhood. A man was walking out of his home and texting when he walked into the bear. Here is the video of the guy walking into a bear while texting:
-Draw Something:
This app has become one of the most downloaded games/apps. It's been just booming in popularity. Just think of it as Pictionary. It's very popular and very easy to do. Your given an item to draw and your friend has to guess or you have to guess what something is based on the drawing you get. There is a free version or a paid version. Here is a link to the iTunes store link: DRAW SOMETHING
