The gingerbread homes on display at Crossgates Mall weren't big enough to live in, but they did raise awareness about a growing homelessness problem in the Capital Region. The structures were on display Nov. 12 as part of the Homeless and Travelers Aid Society's fifth fundraiser. As in past years, the event was timed to coincide with national Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. "Over the years, they have become much more than homes," said Liz ...

Signed. Thanks Todd for the opportunity and as always the great deals.
Grado Labs NEW e series headphones and loaner program! - Page 2
Gear mentioned in this thread:
HI All,
More updates - The RS1e will be delayed 2 weeks so those who signed up for that headphone will still be on the list in order but the first recipient will not receive them for 2-3 week. Sorry for the delay! The PS500 will be delayed 1 week but will go out as soon as I receive it.
On a better note - I am adding at the request of a few of you the Grado SR225e. This headphone will go out next week and you can email me to sign up ... NOW!

Thanks. I'm down to try the 225s (originally emailed about the PS500e but can be taken off list for that one) but since I own the 225 makes more sense to try that one.
The RS1e program is now full. Still room for a few for the PS500e, SR60e and SR225e.

Hi Todd,
Thanks for this incredible opportunity.
You will have received 2 emails from me:
1st is for RS1e which I sent before I saw the "RS1e is full" post, but if you decide to extend the RS1e loaner queue beyond 5, please consider this as my 1st choice.
2nd is for SR225e which I sent after I saw the "RS1e is full" post. Please include me in this queue if you don't extend the RS1e queue.
The SR225e program is now full. 1 spot left for the PS500e and 3 spots left for the SR60e.

Hopefully got in on PS500e!
I cant wait to hear some impressions.
I am over in Australia so no joy on the trial but all the same very eager to hear peoples impressions.
I loved the sr80i, rs1i and Alessandro ms1 woodies and MSPro.
I would still own them if not the need for closed headphones due to nowhere to listen at home in a quiet/dedicated place and well, work not being too happy with me blasting Tool across the office haha.
Heck might have to just grab a pair of sr80e and bank them for those times when I CAN listen to them :)
I really hate the fact that you have to buy from a local retailer when it comes to Grado.
Dont get me wrong, I understand why, and it definitely lets them serve their customers better, however...
SR80e - $99usd - $105aud give or take
SR80e in australia - $179aud.
Thats more than the 125e 'should' cost.
Oh well, end rant. Its not like I am not going to buy them anyway :P

Great - I'm number 3 on the GS 1000e list. I never did like the leas expensive Grados, as they were too "shrill" for my ears. BUT, i did purchase RS2i's last summer and found them to be fantastic with the HIF-M8, especially with rock and bass heavy music. Also, the RS2i is great with music videos and Grateful Dead music. I just don't like "on ear" phones as much as "over ear". Can't wait to try the 1000e's but will probably go for the top of the line model if the 1000e's are as good as the literature says.
Thank you, Todd!

YPN's inventory and targetting look promising, if it were a little more consistent I'd be thrilled, but I am sure that will come.
Also, I never get vonage, lending tree etc ads - I blocked them and now blank space shows. I think I prefer the blank space. Also, if there are only one or two ads available in a 4 ad block then it will show them centered vertically.
I'm still experiencing some problems with no ads showing occasionally until refresh button is hit.
They told me in response to this that we are in 'beta'. But the most basic concept they need to get right is to be able to show ads. Targeting doesn't matter if no ads show! Not showing any ads means they are still in 'alpha' (like I tell my clients about my programs :)
ps. can you sticky my the link to that herpes dating club.

An unwelcome sight for a Minnesota family, according to a report from Granite Broadcasting sister station Northland's NewsCenter in Duluth, Minn.
According to the Northland's NewsCenter report:
The Minnesota family says they arrived home along the 8900 Block of Aerie Lake Road in Alborn, Minn., around 6 p.m. to find smoke coming from their house.
Fire crews were able to contain the flames to a main floor bathroom and an upstairs bedroom. Authorities say the fire does not appear suspicious at the moment and may be accidental.
No one from the family was in the home at the time of the fire.
Authorities are still investigating the incident as well as the estimated damage cost.

Making Services a Science: New Study Finds Great Interest -- and Great Confusion
As Vice President of Innovation and Strategy Management at Columbus, Ohio-based Cardinal Health, Kim Gravell is charged with helping her company create new and innovative solutions in the realm of customer-focused services.
It doesn't seem like an overly complicated job description.
But even Gravell admits that she's had some difficulty at times explaining to her colleagues just exactly what services innovation is, why services are so crucial in today's marketplace -- and why services, well, matter.
When we first started putting this [services team] together, I got a lot of blank stares from the product people, jokes Gravell. They didn't get it at all. They asked me, 'How exactly does this make money?' On the product side, it just seems that innovation is fairly straightforward. On the services side, well, it's a little bit more gray.
Are services gray? Maybe.
Difficult to understand? By all accounts, yes.
But anything less than crucial? Hardly -- and, finally, there seems to be a growing understanding of exactly that.
Growing understanding
For years now, such services leaders as IBM, PetSmart and Marriott have been proving in practice what services researchers had long been advocating in theory -- that enormous success, and enormous profits, can be found in services. But even despite those firms' successes, there remains a somewhat surprising lack of understanding among business executives of how services actually work -- how they're created, how they're implemented and how they generate profits. The bottom line, it seems, is that services have always been difficult to understand -- even for services professionals -- and that doesn't figure to change anytime soon.
What has changed, according to Gravell, industry experts and researchers from W.P. Carey's Center for Services Leadership (CSL), is the way companies are now looking at services: For the first time, it appears there is growing awareness and acceptance in the business community that great services offerings are requisite for huge business success.
I would definitely say there's a growing understanding of the importance of services and the role services can play in helping companies compete, says Amy Ostrom, a W.P. Carey professor of marketing. There are a lot of companies wanting to understand how they make that transition into services, or at least infuse more services into their offerings.
This growing understanding, in turn, is fueling several important trends in the services world -- trends that figure to fundamentally reshape the services landscape and create new opportunities for services leaders moving forward.
To hear CSL experts tell it, more companies than ever are interested in services innovation -- the creation of transformative services. More companies than ever are interested in smart services design. More companies than ever are interested in creating service-centric cultures, in leveraging technology to boost services and in creating consistency of service across geographies.
Simply put, services are -- in their own somewhat confusing way -- hot.
Clearly, in the United States today, we are a services economy, adds Kevin Burkhard, director of strategic initiatives at the CSL. And so I think it's become clear to product firms that they need to offer more product-related and standalone services to meet customer expectations. There's been a growth in both services interest and services complexity.
That complexity, Burkhard says, is rooted both in the general fragmentation of services research and practice and the fundamental complexity of services themselves.
Gravell agrees.
Services are just very hard to get your head wrapped around, says Gravell. Sometimes you can lose the big picture of what you're doing with them. It's more complex than the product side -- not from a technical standpoint, but from a value-creation and customer service standpoint.
Demanding customers
Some companies, of course, have managed to overcome that complexity -- and enjoyed massive profits as a result. IBM is widely lauded as a services trailblazer and is often held up as the gold standard in services practice. PetSmart overcame the inherent challenges of its pets-products business -- even as the dominant player in the marketplace, the company's product-related margins were still very tight -- by implementing a series of innovative services offerings. And Marriott remains a services leader, continually finding new and better ways to interact with and please its customers in the competitive hospitality sector.
What do these companies know what others don't?
Simple, says Mary Jo Bitner: They know what their customers expect -- and they also know that they must give those customers exactly that.
Customers are demanding better and more service, says Bitner, academic director for the CSL and a W.P. Carey professor of marketing. Customers say If you don't give me more than just this widget and then tell me how to use it and understand it, I'm going to find a company that will.
Among the companies who recently recognized this new dynamic is aeronautics giant Boeing, which over the course of the past decade has successfully transformed itself into a services powerhouse. And make no mistake, says Boeing Director of Infrastructure and Range Services Joe Shaheen, it was a massive transformation.
Not too long ago, Shaheen says, Boeing's services didn't extend far outside of tech manuals or replacement parts. Today, by contrast, the company operates with a comprehensive and global services-centric philosophy -- a philosophy under which it believes that every interaction with every customer provides an opportunity to create a positive, lasting impression.
Yes, Boeing still builds airplanes. But it's also very much in the services business -- and better for it.
Over time, I believe the company has seen the real value in doing more in the area of services and support, says Shaheen. We've moved beyond just the selling of spare [parts] and offering tech data. We're migrating into the area of supporting the customer at their sites.
The Boeing of today has its field service reps providing tech expertise not only to new customers rolling out new platforms or new product, but also to old customers managing mature platforms. The company is constantly seeking new ways to keep its clients and make their operations more manageable. The goal, Shaheen says, is to ensure that the Boeing customer experience is positive, consistent and reliable.
There's a goldmine there if you actually leverage the opportunity to interact with the customer on a daily basis, he says. If they need you out there for a specific reason, then clearly you go, but one thing we've learned in this customer-centric support system is that every time you have an opportunity to interact with the customer, you are given an opportunity either impress them ... or disappoint them.
Finding the model for services success
More companies are beginning to accept what Shaheen says as true -- that well-planned, well-executed services offer a true goldmine of opportunity.
But while there is now widespread acceptance that services do matter, and that services can fuel profits, the challenge now is to create the model for services success -- a roadmap that can help service-inexperienced companies get started or allow services experts get even better at their craft. As Burkhard explains it, the broader goal of the services community is nothing short of turning services into a science.
Services have always been difficult to get your arms around -- difficult to understand, Burkhard says. They seem to be here, there and everywhere. You can walk into a restaurant one day and get great service, and then the next day you'll get horrible service. The difficult thing has been to actually move services in the direction of a science, where you can systemize services without taking the human element out of them. The question companies want answered is: How do you design and deliver high value services more consistently, from experience to experience, across different groups and different locations?
Earlier this year, the CSL surveyed more than 300 business executives and academics about the state of the services landscape. The survey results, published in the report Research Priorities for the Science of Service, confirmed what CSL researchers had suspected -- that while there is enormous new interest in services, there remains great confusion and tremendous opportunities around how services should be designed and implemented.
The study also identified ten specific priority areas in which business executives and academics were most interested in finding real answers. Those areas ranged from services innovation and services design to measuring the value of services and figuring out how to leverage technology for services success.
Beyond helping the services community establish its priorities moving forward, the report also offered concrete evidence of the enormous new energy and interest in services. It is no stretch to say that services are bigger today than they've ever been before.
Of course, the trend has its limits.
When it comes to services, Bitner says, there are still confusion, complexity, and organizational hurdles to overcome -- which means we shouldn't expect companies to rush into services at quite the same pace they've been rushing to social networking. I think we're still a ways away from widespread success with services, simply because it is so challenging and requires so much change and long-term organizational commitment she says.
There are some companies out there who are getting very good at it, but I certainly don't think it's widespread yet, Bitner adds. Many companies are still very much at the start of their journey. And I think that's why we're talking about [services] in terms of the future. Companies like IBM -- companies who have been doing this since the 1980s -- say they still don't know everything they need to know. They're still working on improving and innovating their services. So the big question out there in the marketplace is how you maintain and add value for customers and yet still be efficient in what you do? Even people who have been on this path for a long time realize they don't know everything yet -- there is always more to learn and do.
Bottom Line:
- Despite the success of services leaders such as Intel, PetSmart and Marriott, there remains a somewhat surprising lack of understanding among business executives of how services actually work -- how they're created, how they're implemented and how they generate profits.
- More companies than ever are interested in transformative services: smart services design, service-centric cultures, leveraging technology to boost services and consistency of service across geographies.
- Boeing is an example of a products-based company whose services didn't extend far outside of tech manuals or replacement parts, yet today the company operates with a comprehensive and global services-centric philosophy.
- Researchers are seeking to create the model for services success -- a roadmap that can help service-inexperienced companies get started or allow services experts get even better at their craft.
- The Center for Services Leadership surveyed more than 300 business executives and academics earlier this year to identify 10 specific priority areas in which business executives and academics were most interested in finding real answers.

Old trusted guard is welcomed back to steering wheel, in spite of the fact that, when on 1.11.07 price hit 9hkd, the mother holding company sold hundreds of millions shares in HK and thus ruined the price for ever. Good Luck in the present Ox year.

I am afraid this stock and company are done, as in stick a fork in it. It is a shame, because the ThinkPads are a great product. What they really needed to do was get rid of the top management (Yang & Amelio). They messed up every acquisition they attempted, they messed up the brand marketing and they messed up the consumer launch. Just try to find a Lenovo product in a real retail store, good luck. It is now too late, they don't have the market share to be relevant or competitive. I would suggest HP, Apple or Acer if you must own a PC/tech stock. Forget about Lenovo, it's over.
How do you buy ACER>? ticker in USA?tia
Thanks for your post. The present price of Lenovo is ridiculous, coppesponds exactly to the cash in hand they have. As well as the behavior to the shareholders up to now is very good. Also is a company is impossible to fail. Ill wait two more years, from the five Yang asked initially. All the best to you.

Indie in Name Only
Theyre still calling their music indie rock, even though the four former New York University retro-hipsters who together form Interpol are now touring on Our Love to Admire, their third record and first since signing with a plucky startup label called Capitol Records. Not to begrudge some brothers for trading up while the trading is good but music fans should relinquish the pretense that Interpols brand of deliberate, spare songcraft isnt positioned to be as catchy as possible while still lulling the listener into thinking that he or shes appreciating something that not just anyone would understand.
No, by now its apparent that hordes understand Interpols understated echoes of the Pixies, Joy Division, the Smiths, the Cure, etc., else the lads wouldnt be jaunting around cavernous, publicly financed buildings named for cell phone companies. Still, they may have ballooned too quickly. This show would be tell-your-grandkids good at a small venue such as the Polish American Club on NW 22nd Avenue. Instead, youre going to witness indie-rock-turned-arena rock, but dont let that ruin it. If youre going, and you should, for Chrissakes, pretend youre in Brixton circa 1983. When they bust out Slow Hands, imagine the ceiling and walls much snugger, and raise three minutes of bedlam. Doors open an hour before the show, which the Liars kick off at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday at the BankUnited Center (1245 Dauer Dr., Coral Gables). Tickets will set you back $28.50, plus the usual service gouging by Ticketmaster, which you can call at 954-523-3309, or patronize digitally at www.ticketmaster.com.

The Regal Huebner Oaks Stadium 14 & RPX in San Antonio, Texas is opening its doors to the public today, August 3, 2012, according to a press release issued by Regal Entertainment Group.
The new 14-screen theater replaces the AMC Huebner Oaks 24, which originally opened in 1997 and closed November 3, 2011. It was renovated extensively by Regal, reducing the screen count by 10, and one of the amenities added is one of Regal's big-screen concept RPX auditoriums. RPX is Regal's brand for an upgraded viewing experience, with a larger screen, enhanced sound system, and luxurious seating.
The article in My San Antonio today references a Regal manager's comment that once movies are done playing at this theater, they will move on to the nearby Regal Fiesta 16, at a discounted price.
To see what's playing at the new theater, head over to their Showtimes page!

It would be ludicrous to focus on getting young engineers for a project like this.
Not to mention that it's an offensively age-ist thing to do.
Which is of great comfort to the owners of medical imagers that are now junk unless someone catches and rolls back the anniversary edition. There is claimed to be a fix in the pipe.
If you're running a medical imager and you're auto-installing patches willy-nilly without thoroughly testing them, then you're doing it wrong. I don't care what OS you're running, that's just negligent.
Is nothing sacred anymore? Are we really nothing more than market research tools and products to be sold to the highest bidder anymore? Look, if you give me something for free, I don't think it's necessarily unreasonable to ask for something in return (provided you disclose that you're collecting that data). But if I'm paying for it, then please just stop. I'm the customer, not the product.
Are you suggesting that people with old cars should buy new ones to stop criminals from taking a hammer to the windshield? The problem is not the victim's phone. The problem is the phone company's refusal to address the problem.
It's great as long as you don't have an analog line, like the vast majority of home phone users. If you have a regular POTS then the service isn't available.
Too many producers of consumer electronics completely ignore the software side of things. From bad UI design to security, in their rush to market they skimp on the things that make that sort of thing worthwhile.
Agreed. I have no problem with them showing ads and trailers, but they should be legally obligated to provide the actual starting time of the feature film as well -- so if I don't want to see that stuff, I can come 25 minutes "late" or whatever.
It's pretty easy to estimate when the feature will start, so you can skip the ads if you want, but if you wait to go in you're going to end up sitting in either the front row or the back row. So, your choice is either crappy seats or spoilers. Personally, I've started bringing in headphones. Closing my eyes and drowning out the trailers has vastly improved my movie-going experience. It's nice to see a movie without already knowing every major plot point in advance.
I used to love going to the theater but it sucks now. It's too expensive, too crowded, and I don't want to watch 15 minutes of product endorsements followed by 20 minutes of spoilers for upcoming films before they get around to showing the feature.
Mr. Cameron, you say you want to "preserve the theater experience as something special" but it hasn't been "special" in twenty years. It's the entertainment industry's version of going to the airport. It's only a matter of time before they start adding backscatter body scanners and abusive TSA (Theater Security Agency) officers.
but at the very least [Nintendo] actually recognize that their customers are human beings who play games for fun, they aren't fleshbags with coin purses.
Really? You might wanna rethink that. If your decision to chose one technology over the other based on each one's privacy policy, you're always going to lose. You are always the product.
I bet there's more than one shareholder lawsuit out of this. It suggests that the board was negligent in conducting due diligence.
"Oh, sure, we'll fix it for free, but you have to bring it to our repair facility in Tucson. Oh, by the way, our single qualified technician is backlogged six months. If your crops can't wait six months, we do offer a premium value-added repair service that includes same-day onsite repairs..."
Joseph McCarthy already tried all of that and it was a goddamn disaster for obvious reasons. Maybe you should get your head out of your ass. It's time for you to retire from politics and let the adults handle it now.
"Good news, and the stock is up 12% after hours as a result."
Well...good news except for the 6500 people you just fired. But as long as you got paid, that's all that matters, eh, Mr Investor?

Shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), a leading player in the graphics processor market, reached a nine-month high last Friday, after rising 4%+ due to better than expected fiscal Q1 revenue results. This article introduces our coverage by providing an overview of the latest earnings call. We finish the article with a discussion about current momentum, our valuation and traditional final remarks.
(click to enlarge images)Click to enlarge
Earnings Call: The Good
- Profitability increasing: Gross margin came in at 54.3%, versus 52.9% in the previous quarter. However, operating income came in at $83 million, down from $184 million last quarter:
We achieved record gross margins this quarter, now in the 54% range, up 1.4 percentage points sequentially and up 4.2 percentage points year-over-year. There are always puts and takes but this improvement reflects our richer mix of higher margins products as well as the underlying value of our GPUs in the marketplace and our focus on cost.
- Excellent balance sheet and tax position. Cash at the end of the quarter was $3.71 billion. $175.7 million in cash was generated from operations and $110 million in free cash flow.
- More cash returns on the way, both in dividends and repurchase programs. $1 billion to be returned in FY2014. A $100 million repurchase coming in Q1. For this fiscal year, expect $750 million-plus in repurchases. Naturally, this step is not enough to get the shares up, but it will help to improve investor sentiment in the short term because it shows the company is committed to regular return of capital to shareholders.
Earnings Call: The Bad
- Revenue fell sequentially once more but there is an explanation for that. Specifically, one of the most promising businesses, the Tegra segment (which consists of processors for smartphones, tablets, game console graphics and Icera chip products) saw revenue fall 51% from the previous quarter and down 22.2% year-over-year, but the drop is due to mobile device makers changing Tegra 3 processors for Tegra 4 chips. In the words of Karen Burns, CFO:
"The revenue decline over both periods reflects this impact. Sales volume of Tegra 3 processors declined as customers began to ramp down production of Tegra 3 base mark phones and tablets. We expect this to continue in to the next quarter as customers start to announce Tegra 4 design with further new designs and phone ramp starting in the second half of the year."
The Q2 revenue guidance is consistent with the explanation provided for the revenue decline in the first quarter. Revenue is expected to be up about 2% quarter-over-quarter. GPU segment is expected to perform better than that, while the Tegra processor segment is expected to be lower. Tegra 4 should start offsetting the negative effects of Tegra 3 sales by Q3.
Earnings Call: The Ugly
Truth be spoken, I do not see anything ugly. The earnings call confirmed that a majority of sales still come from the maturing PC industry, but it is also important to notice that Nvidia is giving a lot of strength to the phone market. Those who think that the role of Nvidia is limited because the two main players in the high-end phone market (Samsung and Apple) have their own application processors are not aware of the current strategy the firm is taking. Jen-Hsun Huang, Co-Founder and CEO, explains:
We believe that we can add value to the phone market by building an application processor that has the features and capability of a super phone, but the price of the mainstream phone, and that's the reason why we targeted the segment that is currently Snapdragon 400.
By targeting the right segment, we believe that Nvidia will manage to position and market the Tegra 4i quite well in the next two quarters. Keep also in mind that the firm has won many design awards in mobile devices with its Tegra series. Tegra 4 is the highest performance application processor in the marketplace.
Tegra and Nvidia i500 are excellent products
Both the Tegra 4 and Tegra 4i products rely on the NVIDIA i500 LTE modem, an excellent piece of technology: it supports the latest wireless protocols, its is quite flexible, it has a smaller die size, consumes lower power and offers better implementation flexibility compared with traditional LTE modems. It's easy-to-market technology, as it has been configured in order to make it easy for carriers to update modem features and "take advantage of performance-improving algorithmic innovations" through over-the-air updates, as a recent Nvidia white paper mentions.
We are talking about an excellent product. But what is more important is that by giving emphasis to the Tegra series, Nvidia is diversifying its product portfolio and reducing the exposure to fierce competition in the GPU segment, where Advance Micro Devices (NYSE:AMD) and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) are constantly innovating. Although the business is showing a slow start, I believe in the long term potential of this particular product. We finish this part by quoting Jen-Hsun Huang's reply to a question about the trajectory of the Tegra for the back half of the year:
"The Tegra 4 is a great device. It's a processor (...) But one of the areas that is becoming more common is our automotive business. It doubles every year. It is going to double this year again. It will continue to double with the current design wins that we have in FY16, it should peak at about $450 million and so. So this is an important business for us. We are just becoming more diversified in our Tegra business."
There is a bullish pattern active since the beginning of April. The 4.53% increase on Friday caused an excellent improvement in upward momentum, with the RSI index and the MACD index increasing faster.
I believe that Nvidia's Tegra 4 processor will offset the recent revenue decline caused by the maturity of the computer industry. Therefore, in the DCF I run using Oldschoolvalue software, I use the 10 year average growth rate for the following 10 years and a terminal growth rate of 3%. Considering that Nvida is in excellent financial condition, I use a 12% discount rate. These assumptions lead me to a $20.27 per share fair value estimate. Furthermore, using a sensitivity matrix, I find that even if we assume lower growth rates for the next years, the fair estimate price would still be well above the current market price.

Comparison of Data Warehouse Architecture Based on Data Model
Data warehouse is a repository of an organization's electronically stored data. Data warehouses are designed to facilitate reporting and analysis. A data warehouse houses a standardized, consistent, clean and integrated form of data sourced from various operational systems in use in the organization, structured in a way to specifically address the reporting and analytic requirements. This definition of the data warehouse focuses on data storage. However, the means to retrieve and analyze data, to extract, transform and load data, and to manage the data dictionary are also considered essential components of a data warehousing system.

Skip to comments.The Jesus War (New Yorker Piece on Mel Gibson, "The Passion")
Posted on 09/11/2003 4:25:18 PM PDT by Greg Luzinski
click here to read article
Mel is obviously going far out of his way to court evangelicals on this film. The crass-minded would say that he's just building a customer base for his product; but this is clearly a labor of love for Mel. Is he just proselytizing?
How seriously does he believe that salvation is impossible outside the Church? It would be interesting to see someone explore this with him.
Since the manstream press won't, it might be worthwhile for Crisis or First Things or even New Oxford Review to interview him on the subject.
Oh, but he's right in saying that salvation is impossible outside the Church. He's only wrong in assuming he (Mel) knows who's outside the Church and who's inside. :-) Only He (God) knows that for sure.
Of course, that leaves the question of virtuous folk pre or post-Christ who have never had the chance to hear the Good News...
Good point. No, I doubt he gives a rat's pattotie. Southerners, Christians, and I guess Nazis are all pretty much the same in the mind of the left.
But Vatican II expressly allows for the possibility of salvation -- not only for non-Roman Catholic Christians -- but also for Jews, Muslims, pagans, and even those without an "explicit knowledge of God." (link)
Compare this with Unam Sanctum's "it is altogether necessary to salvation for every human creature to be subject to the Roman pontiff." (link)
These two doctrines are in direct contradiction with one another and cannot be reconciled. Gibson must be conflicted with his desire to follow the Roman Catholic Church and his apparent rejection, at least in part, of Vatican II. He understands -- and rightly so -- that the teachings of the Catholic Church since the 14th century or so and Vatican II cannot both be true.
I can't wait to see this movie but these theological sleights-of-hand make me glad to be a Protestant.
Excellent statement.
Folks need to quit speculating about who's in and who's out and just do their duty.
I agree, and I think this point ought to be made more often. Because we love Him, and because we've all seen the same British movies, we Christians expect our Lord to speak in the quiet tones of genteel Home Counties English as if He were a character from Milne or Tolkien. Becase He is our perfect God, it makes us uncomfortable to think of our Lord doing ordinary human things having gas, for example, or visiting a latrine but He did. He was 100% man as well as 100% God, and, like all men, He undoubtedly spoke in the vernacular of his class the peasant class. And, as anyone who has spent time on a construction site can tell you, that vernacular is generally not something you'd hear in church.
And that's not necessarily sinful. Cussing and cursing are two different things. "Cuss words" earthy, blunt, plain-language words, generally used to describe bodily functions are not in and of themselves dirty. "Shit", for example, is just the plain English word for solid biological waste, nothing more. Words like "shit", "piss", and the Anglo-Saxon term for sexual intercourse are not curses; they may be considered rude, vulgar, or obscene depending upon circumstance, but intrinsically evil they ain't. (Each can be used in an evil way, however.) In fact, the word "piss" appears in the King James version of the Bible no less than eight times! (1 Samuel 25:22, 1 Samuel 25:34, 1 Kings 14:10, 1 Kings 16:11, 1 Kings 21:21, 2 Kings 9:8, 2 Kings 18:27, Isaiah 36:12, for the adolescently curious.)
On the other hand, cursing is a sin. Cursing consists of blasphemy, sacrelige, gross impiety, vain usage of the Lord's Name, and the actual act of cursing someone in other words, expressing one's hope that they be damned to hell.
Jesus Christ is the King of the Universe, but He is also a Jewish peasant. It is my opinion that as such our Lord did on occasion use what might have been considered salty language. Just as our Lord resorted to physical violence on one occasion (the driving out of the moneychangers from the Temple), so, too, He used strong language when necessary. In Luke 3:2 et al. He called His hypocritical accusers "ye generation of vipers", for example, which must have sounded something like calling them s.o.bs to the ears of the crowd in His day. He also referred to the publicly pious as "whitewashed tombs" {Matt 23:27 et al.] in other words, as being clean outside, full of filth inside akin to calling them "full of shit"!
And let's not forget the fact that He was a carpenter. Somehow, I can't picture our Lord saying "Darn it!" or "oh, poop!" afrer smashing His finger with a hammer.
Our Lord is righteous, holy, and perfect, but He is neither effete nor "nice". He was God, but He also liked parties, wine, and hanging out with fishermen. We have had enough of the Nice Jesus, the Eton Jesus, the sanitized-for-your-protection Hollywood Jesus. Let's have the Real Jesus fully God in His perfection, fully Man in his human nature.
Please keep in mind that I'm barely a Christian, much less a scholar or exegete. I could be totally wrong about this. If so, I humbly ask for your correction, and I apologize if I have offended or caused scandal by posting this message.
Who are you referring to?
I can understand your concern considering all of the mass slaughters of Germans through the centuries.
Tricksy, tricksy.
For God nothing is impossible. The Church is the ark of salvation but some who are inside might still perish and some who are outside might be saved by God's special grace. Those whose faith (the spiritual map) is closer to the truth have better chance to find the destination.
Probably more a revealing statement than any. Has Mafia-like implications between the words ( such as: " We'll be sure to make things hard for you if you don't do as we say. " ).
I don't know... When I was talking with my friends at church yesterday, it looked as though I'd be the only young guy to go see that movie. The objection some had was the Aramaic thing -- they weren't going to see a subtitled movie. Oh, well.
More disturbing was the second reason -- that it was made by Gibson, a Catholic, and "would mis-represent the Gospels," indicitive of a denominational distrust of all things Catholic.
Oh well. What do I expect from a church where it is more than occasionally taught that Rome is the Whore of Babylon?
For us uninformed (or misinformed) Protestants, what might that traditional doctrine of the Church be? Cites are good, if possible.
I present to you the "experts", who, after two centuries of enlightenment, and after informing us that the gospels weren't written by the men whose names they bear, will now tell us what was originally in them.
As soon as they can figure it out.
Note that Frederickson thinks the Temple scene "probably didn't happen". Based on what evidence, you ask?
Well, it doesn't comport with HER IDEA of what did happen. Where did she get that idea, you ask?
Other parts of the gospels, which she likes better.
It's absolutely glorious and must go way beyond just this movie.
I notice that your posts are often given to softening interdenominational tensions. God will bless you.
Mr. Gibson was accurately reporting his emotions at the time...that was how he felt. If a Christian tells you he never feels negative emotions or urges, he's lying to you.
What is offputting is the graphic detail of Gibson's expression; but what's wrong with that? It may be shocking, but that primarily for its honesty.
I sure hope so. :-) I fail on so many levels to do what we all ought to do, but I don't think I'm so bad off that I can't manage to do this tiny thing.
Pius IX and Pius XII were not liberals. They were true Catholics along with SAINT Pius X. The popes we've had since Pius XII have been liberals. Check out these sites, please:

Developing excellence in the workforce is the key to achieving the best patient recovery rates and greater savings to both the NHS and the wider economy.
The IAPT workforce is specifically developed to deliver NICE-recommended low and high intensity interventions for people with mild, moderate to severe depression and anxiety disorders in a system of stepped care.
Different skill mixes can result in different cost effectiveness so, rather than prescribing the exact workforce numbers and types of staff, IAPT workforce guidance emphasises the functions/competences and levels of work of staff in IAPT services. High quality services use agreed frameworks adapted to local need.
Each therapeutic approach has agreed standards.

The 11 Scariest Lady Villains: 'Game of Thrones,' 'Sopranos,' more
Are these the witchiest women in television history?
10. Mags Bennett, "Justified"
Years: 2011
Best worst moment: "It's too late. It was already in the glass, not in the jar" Mags Bennett set the entire plot for Season 2 of "Justified" in motion by poisoning Walt McCready with a glass of her famous apple pie moonshine, an act that proved her willingness to do absolutely anything to protect her family and her business from outsiders.
Why they were so bad it was good: Season 2 of "Justified" is a series peak because, in Mags, the show created one of the most pragmatic and vicious antagonists ever seen on the small screen, a woman forced by circumstances to go from wife and mother to business woman and crime lord. Margo Martindale won a well-deserved Emmy for capturing Mags' ability to turn from kindly and matriarchal -- I need a female equivalent of "avuncular" -- to venal and remorseless on a dime.

Northern Ireland Electricity extends IT outsourcing deal
Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE) has extended an IT managed services deal with Capita by another three years
Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE) has extended an IT managed services deal with Capita by another three years.
The contract that sees Capita provide service desk, network management, telecoms, hosting, business continuity planning and disaster recovery services up until 2017, was originally signed in 2009.
Your exclusive guide to CIO trends
A collection of our most popular articles for IT leaders from the first few months of 2016, including: - Corporate giants recruit digitally-minded outsiders to drive transformation - Analytics platforms to drive strategy in 2016 - Next generation: The changing role of IT leaders.

NIE owns and manages Northern Ireland's electricity transmission and distribution networks. It transports electricity to more than 840,000 customers and employs about 1,200 employees.
Finance director at NIE Eddie Byrne said Capita underpin key business processes including customer-facing operations.
"Our decision to extend the contract was taken in light of the high quality of service which has been consistently provided since 2009, the flexibility demonstrated by Capita during the relationship and the competitive price achieved," he said.

Capita has supported NIE on a number of IT projects over the years. These include the implementation of an overhauled registration and billing system, as part of the electricity market opening in Northern Ireland.
In 2013, the International Data Corporation (IDC) said Western European utilities are expected to spend $10.4bn on IT in 2013 – 62.9% of which will be dedicated to services.
The IDC Western Europe Utilities Industry IT Spending 2012–2017 forecast predicted software spending would see the most significant boom, growing by 7.4% to reach $3.2bn by 2017.
IT services are expected to grow annually by an average of 4.9%, while IDC predicted minimal growth in the hardware sector, despite the drive for smart energy, which relies on sensor networks. IDC said the biggest spending area for utilities is the maintenance of IT systems and infrastructure, accounting for around 60% of their overall IT budget.
UK utility companies are also planning for the introduction of energy smart meters across the UK as part of the government's GB Smart Metering Implementation Programme (GB SMIP). The project is underpinned by IT.
With a planned 53 million smart meters installed in homes and businesses across the UK, the GB SMIP aims to allow gas and electricity consumption to be monitored. This will provide information to help consumers and businesses use energy more efficiently. The smart meter project promises to lower bills, reduce the UK's carbon footprint and help energy suppliers to provision better and prevent shortages.

bsvgs Review
Great little cutting board at the right price.
As mentioned, at this price & at 2 for 1 price, it can't be beat. Now I wish it was also available in larger sizes.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Good. Of course, cutting through things on it will mark up the design, but I've never had a cutting board that avoids that issue.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Sturdy yet very flexible. I don't yet know whether it would hold up w/ when more directly heated. That's how I lost my last one, when it got too close to the gas burner.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate.

Spain recorded a 1-0 win over 2009 champions Ghana to ensure their progress into the next phase of the Under 20 World Cup in Turkey.
With the USA and France having drawn earlier in the day, La Roja's youngsters knew a win would take them through having beaten USA 4-1 in their opening match on Friday.
Jese Rodriguez gave them the lead following wonderful work on the left from Denis Suarez—it was the forward's third goal of the tournament.
Ghana had chances to equalize, Joseph Duncan and Yiadom Boakye with especially good opportunities, while Gerard Deulofeu and Jairo could have added to Spain's lead.
Another goal wasn't forthcoming though, and Spain will be relieved to have ended with the three points.
Here are five things we learned from the Group A encounter...

Employment Opportunities at Bearskin Lodge
Bearskin Lodge is the premier family resort located on the famous Gunflint Trail, about 26 miles from the town of Grand Marais, MN. We are on the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Right outside our door are a million and a half acres of pristine lakes and rivers. Our facilities are the best available.
It takes much hard work by dedicated staff to maintain the quality of service our guests have come to expect. If you are interested in joining the Bearskin staff, we would like to hear from you! Fill out our job application and forward it to us. The application is found linked to this page at the bottom.
Click here to get an application in PDF format (print to fill out by hand, or depending on your computer system, you may be able to fill this out online.)
Click here to get an application in DOC format (fill out on computer — if formatting changes, don't worry about that).
Important! Before applying please click here to read this information page. Not everyone will be happy working at Bearskin. See if you're well-suited to living here before you apply.
2016 employment —
Our full-time staff for summer 2016 has been hired.
Part time job this summer
- Artist or artsy/crafty person wanted for a few hours each week: Teach painting classes one day a week to our guests at Bearskin. All supplies provided, you just bring the art expertise and the fun. No housing available for this position. Flexibility on which day of the week you teach, as long as the day is consistent so we can plan; the day cannot be Saturday or Sunday. Could work with someone who needs to switch days occasionally as long as we have adequate notice.
Fall 2016
- Full time position maintenance/outdoor job: In the fall: Mow grass, stack wood, lift canoes, lift motors, clean and care for boats and canoes, help with cabin repairs, check the campground.

Housing available.
It is important when you apply that you provide us with accurate ending dates for your summer availability. If you will be returning to college after the summer, please check your college's 2016 calendar before you apply. We don't hire "extra" people like larger resorts often do, planning that a certain percentage of employees will quit or get fired. We truly intend to keep you all summer if you are hired here. We choose our staff based on employing the correct number of people to get us through the season, so ending dates are very important. Choosing to leave Bearskin earlier than your contractual end date leaves your co-workers and employers overworked and unhappy. Please decide on the right end date from the time you apply.
If you think you'd be a good match for Bearskin, fill out the application(PDF) or application (DOC) linked to this page. Be sure to include references. We will call or e-mail them before we hire you. A good cover letter explaining your interest in Bearskin employment helps set your application apart — tell us more about yourself.

We pay an hourly wage, not a set "per month" salary. We adhere to fair employment practices. You will not be asked to work a large number of unexpected hours, and if circumstances require many more hours, you will be paid well for your extra time.
