Renowned furniture dealer Ralph Pucci opened up his Los Angeles showroom at the Pacific Design Center to celebrate designer Jim Zivic's industrial-inspired work. Held in collaboration with Modern Luxury Interiors California, the event marked the inaugural West Coast exhibit for Zivic, who recently relocated to Northern California from upstate New York.
Decorating duo Ron Woodson and Jamie Rummerfield, Oliver Furth, Kristi Nelson
Zivic's stark, masculine-minded pieces served as a striking backdrop for a performance by the talented L.A.-based Calder Quartet, which played a stirring set.

Junior Team Brings Home Four Medals
Going to another country to skate is nothing new for Brittany Adams of Canton, Michigan or Jessica Feuerstein of Kissimmee, Florida. They are experienced junior world level skaters and our figure event medallists at the 2008 Junior World Roller Figure Skating Championship in Kaohsiung, Chinese Taipei. Brittany is in her 4th season as a Team USA member, is coached by Vickie Hudson, and this is her second Silver Medal in the Compulsory Figure Event. Jessica Feuerstein is making her 2nd appearance in world competition and earning a Bronze Medal at this event is her first placement in international competition. Jessica is coached by Petra Dayney, April Jacobson and the late Ron Jellse.
Silver Medal dance team, Joey Rodriguez and Jessica Gaudy, just make you feel like dancing. They have both been competitive skaters for 8 years and this is their second world event medal as a team. They are coached by Joe and Marie Gaudy.
Fountain Valley Club member, Nicole Leonard, has proven that the addition of Junior and Senior World Class Solo Dance is great for the sport. Her high energy, exciting skating style made her the first Gold Medalist when the event was introduced at the 2007 World Championship in Australia. This season she has successfully defended her title and brought home the Gold again. She has been competing for 12 years and is currently coached by Bob Leonard, Bob LaBriola, and Chris Baerg.

The Seattle Seahawks are 2-2, and through four games this season, we've seen quite a lot...some good, some bad, and some ugly.
This is a team that, with a few bounces in either direction, could either be 4-0 or 0-4, so while there is some sense of panic spreading across the Pacific Northwest given the team's .500 record, I figured it might be entertaining to take a few overreactions and try to find some answers.
What, for example, is an overreaction, you ask?
"Terrell Owens' mere presence on the Seahawks during training will tear the fabric of time and space!"
Let's face it, we've all been guilty of these statements from time to time and hear them all throughout our travels from colleagues, classmates, friends or family.
How do I plan to approach these questions?
The easiest way to respond is with a "true" or "false" answer, with hopefully a little clear and rational thinking to help make sense of the Seahawks' first quarter of the season.
Of course, I may not cover all of the major points, so if you have any extra overreactions, feel free to contribute anything I may have missed...
Now let's get to it!

Why Are Boaters So Superstitious?
December 13, 2013
Let's face it…boaters are a superstitious bunch. Well, we've got a storied history that goes all the way back to the days of the earliest ocean-going vessels, when everything from bad weather to scurvy were connected to various perceived transgressions by crewmembers and (more likely) unknowing passengers. String enough of those coincidences together, and the word spreads quickly that something as innocent as bringing a banana onboard can wreak havoc on a voyage that would otherwise be smooth sailing.
Whether you view boating superstitions as solemn, don't-ever-mess-them laws, or if you get a chuckle out of the seemingly outrageous notions that have sprung up over the years, they are part of nautical folklore. And, being notoriously nostalgic, those of us with a love for boating and the water tend to embrace even the nuttier superstitions—even if it's done with a sly wink of the eye.
Let's take a closer look at some of the most-popular, boat-related myths that still rule the seas even today.
If you head down to any of Florida's coastal fishing villages in search of a fishing charter, there's one thing you need to remember. Leave the bananas at home. That's real bananas, banana nut muffins and even Banana Boat sunscreen. You're even asking for trouble if you show up in Fruit of the Loom underwear. And even if, for some reason, you feel like ignoring the no-bananas rule that exists aboard nearly all fishing charters—let's say you smuggle aboard a banana smoothie—don't plan on coming home with many trophy fish. Of course, there's nothing but anecdotal evidence to prove this is true, but you'll hear those anecdotes walking every dock from Pensacola to Islamorada.
History: Looking past the obvious things like cartoon injuries caused by slipping on a discarded peel, the more likely source of the banana superstition is that ocean-going vessels would stop at tropical islands for provisions during their months-long excursions. In addition to fresh water and other necessities, they would frequently take on crates of bananas. Good source of potassium aside, these crates nearly always came with the added bonus of deadly spiders, snakes and other critters that don't mix well in the close-confines of a boat.
As if you didn't have enough to think about when considering a name for your boat, you will probably get an earful from some wise mystic of the sea (the guy in the marina slip next to yours) about the hazards of changing the name of a boat that's been previously named. Fortunately, since it's a long shot that you and the prior owner BOTH dreamed of owning a boat called "My Pretty Petunia," there are certain ceremonial steps you can take to avoid offending the sea gods. Not surprisingly, the ceremony revolves around high-quality domestic sparkling wine (only use the French stuff if you're anxious to help THEIR economy rebound). Get rid of all evidence of the boat's previous name. Just draw a line through the name on all logbooks and maintenance records. Make sure all traces of the name are gone from the transom. Notify your local boating law enforcement of the name change as required, and apply your new carefully chosen new name to the boat. Invite your family and friends, and distribute plastic glasses (bare feet and broken glass do not mix). Unless you're renaming a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, best to just pour a generous portion of bubbly over the bow instead of smashing the bottle Queen Elizabeth-style. When everyone's glasses are full, say something like: "For thousands of years, we have gone to sea, and we have called our vessels by name. For all that have gone before us, we humbly raise a glass in their honor and ask for blessings in the name of YOUR BOAT NAME." If you're into flowery (and overly long) ceremonies, a quick Internet search will reveal plenty
History: This business about it being bad luck to rename a boat actually has a pretty reasonable explanation. Back in the day, when sailing vessels would travel to far-flung ports-of-call, boats and crews would carry a certain reputation. Good reputations meant easy, uncontested passage into friendly harbors. Changing a boat's name could easily raise suspicions simply because it wasn't recognized.
• Have you ever known anyone who threw salt over their left shoulder? That's an old pirate trick to "keep the devil at bay." The bay, of course, is literally where they wanted the devil to stay as they headed out to sea.
• Have you ever "knocked on wood" to prevent bad luck? That came from sailors thumping the hulls of their wooden ships to check for rotten areas. This is also the origin of the phrases "ship shape" and "touch wood." It all comes down to having a boat that will hold together during a voyage.
• As perhaps the easiest superstition to understand, the form of a naked woman on the bow was said to calm the seas and guide the vessel to safety. If you've been out at sea for months on end with a ship full of hygienically challenged men, surely any naked woman aboard would seem like good luck.
• Dramatic bodily embellishments such as tattoos, brands and piercings have long been thought to ward off evil spirits. The wilder the design, the better it allegedly worked.
• It's a no-no to whistle anywhere aboard a boat, for fear that you will summon bad weather. This is where the phrase "whistling up a storm" comes from.

On our final day of this multi-blog series on partnerships, I'd like to highlight other ways in which the Global Partnership Initiative helped advance a number of other meaningful partnership activities. These partnership "wins" include:
- Liberalizing Innovation Opportunity Nations (LIONS@FRICA): In May, I helped launch the LIONS@FRICA partnership at the World Economic Forum on Africa along with key public and private sector partners to strengthen Africa's startup and innovation ecosystem, promote and facilitate new investments in Africa's technology entrepreneurs, and foster innovative business models.
- Mekong Technology Innovation Generation and Entrepreneurship Resources (TIGERS@Mekong): In November, the Secretary announced the launch of a new public-private platform supported by the Secretary's Office of the Global Partnership Initiative aimed at boosting competitiveness and growth in targeted Mekong economies by supporting young innovators and entrepreneurs. The partnership will officially launch in February 2013.
- The Global Equality Fund: In June, I launched a new partnership along with the mGive Foundation to promote the Global Equality Fund which supports human rights for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community through a mobile giving campaign.
- 2012 Enactus World Cup: In 2011, Secretary Clinton announced that we are partnering to co-host the Enactus (formerly known as SIFE) World Cup 2012 in Washington, D.C. I served as a judge at the event and hosted a celebratory dinner at the State Department for Enactus supporters. The Enactus World Cup is an opportunity for students around the world to present the results of their community outreach projects to a group of prestigious, international business leaders.
- Launch of Partnerships Training Module: GPI has developed a comprehensive partnership training module in partnership with the Foreign Service Institute that aims to streamline the partnership development for partnership builders around the globe.
As these examples illustrate, 2012 has been an extremely successful and productive year for partnerships throughout the State Department. As I reflect on our mutual accomplishments, I am impressed by the breadth and depth of our efforts, and energized by the possibilities that lay ahead for 2013 and beyond.
Why? i knows that if not Sec's power
i can't do anything, just to don't move dust.

Symphony X -- San Francisco, CA -- February 17th, 2012
After eating at Mel's we, my dad, my friend Alex, and I, arrived at the Regency at about 6ish, maybe a little after the hour. There was already a little bit of a line in front of the venue, about 20 people or so. In celebration of Michael LePond's birthday, there was host from a radio station or something asking people Michael LePond trivia and giving out prizes to those who answered the questions correctly. After she asked some people who one of his five favorite bands are and giving them a prize, she couldn't return to the email that had the questions on her phone, so she decided to just give out the stuff for free. She threw a few posters and I caught one. Along with that, I got a Symphony X key chain and sticker signed by LePond. The poster two sideds, one which has the cover for Paradise Lost and functions as a 2009 calendar and the other is a show poster for a show they played in Taipei. I'll hang up the side with Taipei, because a 2009 calendar serves no purpose and would look silly. I guess they just needed to get rid of some shit. So at 7PM they let us in the venue. Unfortunately for me, the Iced Earth VIP people were let in earlier and they were occupying the rail, so I had to settle with 2nd row. I chatted it up with some fellow metalheads to pass the time, and before we knew it it was 8 and Warbringer was starting their set.
Warbringer are a band I'm sure most of you are familar with by now. They seem to be the leader of this thrash metal revival movement that's going about, and while they may be a little repetitive on disk, they're actually quite fun live. All the guys are obviously going full force, having the time of their lives on the stage. The front man has a pretty good thrash metal voice and was quite entertaining to watch. The band proved to be a good live band and had a pretty good set. They actually got some pits going, which I wasn't expecting at a Symphony X show. Fans of the band will appreciate that their set has material off of all their full-lengths. If I see Warbringer on another bill with good bands, I'll definitely look forward to their set.

Shoot to Kill
Demonic Ecstasy

While Iced Earth were setting up, I noticed my dad was using his Spanish to converse with some people in the crowd. Turns out there were some dudes there from Honduras at the show, father and son. The son was in California to study music. I used my Spanish to the best of my ability to talk to him and he showed me an awesome Honduran heavy metal hand-shake, that combined the invisible orange and the horns. Then Iced Earth came on.
Iced Earth were awesome and got the biggest crowd response. Unfortunately that wasn't completely positive. During Angels Holocaust, some huge asshole barged through the crowd and threw a guy who had rail off and claimed the spot as his own. He did while dragging his friend along with him, so they took up hella space. But soon after the display of douchebagery, some security told 'em to back off, and so they left. Justice was served, but it made Angels Holocaust unenjoyable because I was mad. But it was pretty chill after that. Throughout the performance, the crowd was a little on the rowdy side, and there was a pretty constant push/shove going on. But despite some assholes in the crowd, Iced Earth did work. They blazed through songs from a fair amoutn of their discography, but of course focused on Dystopia. Stu Block was a champ. He sounded awesome the whole time and his high notes are just awesome. I tore up my throat trying to sing along to Damien and Dark City, and I'm feeling it pretty bad today. Dante's Inferno was also cool, but I'm not too familiar with the song, so it kind dragged. And during that song, again, two huge assholes barged through the crowd. But they went far past me, so it didn't effect me all that much. I think the high-light of the set was the closing track, Iced Earth. The orginial is cool, but the vocal are less than good, but Stu Block turned it into something awesome. Overall, great set that was full of energy. I'd definitely see these guys.
Iced Earth
Angels Holocaust
Slave To The Dark
Stand Alone
When The Night Falls
Dark City
Declaration Day
Days of Rage
Watching Over Me
Dante's Inferno
Iced Earth
Not much went on between Iced Earth and Symphony X, besides some people leaving and other taking their rail before I could. Oh well.
Symphony X was just as incredible as they were the first time I saw them, but this time I was more familiar with their set. The beginning of Iconoclast melted my brain
. I could watch Romeo play for days. He's so fucking good. Allan also sounded awesome and interacted with crowd well. There were two particular fans right in front of that they interacted with a lot because they were batshit insane fanboys. One of them in particular probably had on orgasm every time Romeo took a solo or did anything cool. His reaction to every time Romeo did anything was priceless. So, they went about their set, playing through most of Iconoclast and a couple tracks from Divine Wings and The Odyssey. Before they started the encore, they pointed out it was LePond's birthday, and all of the crowd sang him a happy birthday. Then they played 3 songs off of Paradise Lost. I was hoping they'd actually do something special, like play another song, in celebration of LePond's birthday like their facebook statuses implyed, but I guess they constitute singing Happy Birthday as special. Either way, awesome set.
Symphony X
End of Innocence
Bastards of the Machine
When All is Lost
Electric Messiah
Children of a Faceless God
Of Sins and Shadows

Over all, great way to start off the new year. Getting free swag was also cool.

Pandora Surprise: New York Post Headline Writers Are Hacks
But first, let's get something straight right off the bat.
Just as good television and radio stations do everything possible to keep you tuned in through commercial breaks, we want you to click on our articles. As such, we write snappy headlines. While many other organizations use "headline writers," TheStreet, by and large, leaves article titles up to the author. After all, we know what best represents the content we, as individuals, write.
Call it "click bait" all you want; I call it smart. Do readers expect us to write headlines that would discourage them from clicking on an article? Not any more than they would expect CNBC's Carl Quintanilla to say, You know what, dear viewer, turn off the TV because we gots unadulterated boredom after these commercials .
That said -- and, yes, I fall short from time to time -- I hold myself to a standard: The content that follows the click must deliver -- as in flow from -- the headline. The content needs to satisfy the reader's quest for information and/or stimulation. You might not always agree with what you read, but you weren't mislead.
Unfortunately, not everybody abides by this guiding principle. Again, nobody's perfect -- we all mess up occasionally -- but if you were to cobble a list of the worst offenders, News Corp's (NWSA) New York Post belongs at the top.
Here's the headline it used this morning on an "EXCLUSIVE" Pandora story:
Then, in the story , Claire Atkinson buries what absolutely should have been part of the lead, focusing on "financial trouble" and broad-stroke mentions of an "increase in
That's a problem.
If you only read the headline -- as so many people do -- you walk away thinking, here we go again, Pandora's royalties keep going up. That's a general perception that, while not necessarily false, paints a not-exactly-accurate picture.
Here's the deal: As Atkinson vaguely explains in her final few paragraphs, Pandora pays 93% of its content acquisition costs to SoundExchange on a per-track basis as per the 2009 Webcaster Settlement ( See my explanation of compulsory versus direct licensing for some color ). This is the chunk of money the labels and Internet radio are fighting over in Congress right now.
Composition royalties/music publishing rights make up roughly 4% of Pandora's content acquisition expenses; this money goes to music publishers such as Sony/ATV.

American architect Louis I. Kahn left behind a legacy of great buildings: the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California; the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas; and the Indian Institute for Management in Ahmedabad. Yet he also left behind an equally important legacy of designs that were never realized. This exceptional volume unites those unbuilt projects with the most advanced computer-graphics technology—the first fundamentally new tool for studying space since the development of perspective in the Renaissance—to create a beautiful and poignant vision of what might have been.
Author Kent Larson has delved deep into Kahn's extensive archives to construct faithful computer models of a series of proposals the architect was not able to build: the U.S. Consulate in Luanda, Angola; the Meeting House of the Salk Institute in La Jolla; the Mikveh Israel Synagogue in Philadelphia; the Memorial to Six Million Jewish Martyrs in New York City; three proposals for the Hurva Synagogue in Jerusalem; and the Palazzo dei Congressi in Venice. The resulting computer-generated images present striking views of real buildings in real sites. Each detail is exquisitely rendered, from complex concrete textures to subtle interreflections and patterns of sunlight and shadow.
Kahn's famous statement—"I thought of wrapping ruins around buildings"—is borne out by the views of his unbuilt works; his rigorous exploration of tactility and sensation, light and form, is equally evident. Complementing the new computer images is extensive archival material—rough preliminary drawings, finely delineated plans, and beautiful travel sketches. Larson also presents fascinating documentation of each project, often including correspondence with the clients that shows not only the deep respect accorded the architect but the complicated circumstances that sometimes made it impossible to bring a design to fruition. Not only a historical study of Kahn's unbuilt works, this volume is in itself an intriguing alternative history of architecture.

The NFL puts on this front of being so above it all but, they continue to allow these guys with gray areas in their past to become players. I'm all for giving a guy a second chance but I wonder if the NFL would ever put their foot down and say, " any arrest, warrants, troubles with the law or criminal records and you are not eligible for the NFL.
If they really want to speak to the youth of America and give these guys guidance they need to get that strict. We might have a few seasons of lack luster players coming through but eventually/hopefully kids will realize you have to fit into society.
Goodell should use his evil powers for good instead of for good of the NFL.
Didn't Rainey receive a citation for trespassing just a few weeks ago?
After that, the Steelers probably put him on notice...
As an adult it isn't that big of deal for me either but, I do want our children to look up to the proper role models or people they see as role models.

Extensive Research Description
Harvey J. Kliman is currently a Research Scientist in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Yale University School of Medicine and the Director of the Reproductive and Placental Research Unit with a special interest in infertility and pregnancy
complications. His has three areas of research interest: Menstrual Cycle Regulation and Embryo Implantation Research
Menstrual cycle regulation is a critical step in embryo implantation and successfully achieving pregnancy. Since a majority of cases of unexplained infertility may result from implantation failure, there is a need to assess the endometrium accurately for defects that could preclude implantation. Current tools for endometrial evaluation, however, are limited. Based on endometrial expression of cyclin E and p27, we have developed a patented endometrial function test (EFT®) which allows us to evaluate at a molecular level the menstrual cycle regulatory cyclins and to differentiate between normally and abnormally developing, endometrium. Ultimately, we hope this test will prove useful to reproductive endocrinologists in evaluating menstrual cycle irregularities as well as implantation potential. In addition, given that cyclin E and p27 are regulated by estrogen and progesterone, this test may have a role in evaluating the effects of these hormones' exogenous administration in infertility treatments as well as in other circumstances such as hormone replacement therapy of peri- and post-menopausal women and in clinical conditions that are known to alter or disrupt normal menstrual cycle function. Currently the EFT is used to evaluate patients with infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss. The full potential of these markers will need to be established with prospective, case-controlled multi-center trials that examine different groups of infertility patients to investigate the accuracy of the EFT in predicting pregnancy outcomes in natural cycles, IVF, and donor oocyte patients, work that is currently underway in our laboratory.
Structural Defects in the Placenta Suggest the Presence of Genetic Defects in the Fetus At the basis of the structure of biological systems are genes that regulate the development of the cells that make up the tissues and organs. We humans start off as a symmetrical ball of cells. Even as our first 50 cells begin to separate themselves into an inner cell mass (which will become the embryo, fetus and, eventually, baby) and the trophoblasts (which will become the placenta), genes are regulating the creation of the developmental axes that will form the basis of the entire organism. Defects in the genes that regulate these processes lead to a wide range of embryonic, fetal and neonatal defects, from minor cosmetic abnormalities, to disasters that terminate pregnancy within a few days to weeks after fertilization. Since the placenta and fetus share the same genome, genetic defects in the fetus are often mirrored in the placenta as abnormal growth patterns. The cellular basis of these placental growth patterns is the dynamic relationship between cytotrophoblast replication and differentiation towards syncytiotrophoblast. We have identified an abnormal growth pattern of the trophoblast layers which appears to be associated with genetic defects in the fetus: trophoblast invaginations. When these deep pits are cut in cross section they appear as trophoblast inclusions. We have shown that compared to the placentas from normal children there is a significantly increased frequency of trophoblast inclusions in cases of known chromosomal diseases, such as trisomy 21, 13 and 18, as well as triploidy (three sets of chromosomes). More recently we have demonstrated an increased frequency of inclusions in cases of subtle genetic diseases, including autism.
Novel method of determining placental volume reduces the risk of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD)
We have developed a mathematical solution to accurately estimate intrauterine placental volume. Care givers of pregnant women currently only track the growth of the fetus without any insight into the growth of the placenta, despite its importance in prenatal development. The placenta is the critical organ responsible for both respiratory and nutritional support of the fetus. In situations where the placenta is significantly small or large for gestational age, a care giver may not have any warning that the fetus is compromised or near death until it is too late. Fetal complications due to placental abnormalities occur in as many as 20% of pregnancies. Clinical intervention is possible with early detection. This invention allows for assessment of in utero placental volume using three basic measurements: width, height and thickness of the placenta. There are no alternative Currently there are no simple, reliable or convenient methods to determine the volume and/or weight of a placenta prior to delivery available today. We propose to use this method to generate normative data on a large population of pregnant women which can be used to automatically flag abnormal placental size. Such normative data will form the basis for the generation of tables which can be incorporated into future ultrasound devices. This will empower future caregivers to identify and intervene in cases where an IUFD would have been the first indication of any problems. This method will create a "placenta tank" gauge where none has existed.This compromises a health care provider's ability to assess the state of a pregnancy since the placenta is the critical organ responsible for both respiratory and nutritional support of the fetus. Currently care givers of pregnant women only track the growth of the fetus without any insight into the growth the placenta. In situations where the placenta is significantly small or large for gestational age a care giver may not have any warning that the fetus is compromised or near death until it is too late. This invention teaches the use of mathematical equations to estimate the in utero placental volume using three basic measurements: width, height and thickness of the placenta.

by John MacArthur
Faithful participation in a local body of believers is a vital part of the Christian life. It brings us into fellowship with other believers, submits us to the authority of the Lord through His church, makes us useful to God and His people, and shapes our identity in Christ and our testimony to the outside world.
Of course, church membership is not just a personal matter. Clearly, the issues are corporate as well. The ordinances given to the local church—baptism, communion—lose their significance outside the group setting. As believers pull away from participating in local, corporate worship, they miss out on profound blessings that can be experienced only in that setting.
There are many people today who would call themselves Christians who have never been baptized; many others have little to no interest in celebrating the Lord's Table. And for the countless professing believers who have adopted the consumer mindset regarding church, it's likely that neither baptism nor communion will ever be a priority for them.
It's become such a problem that many churches have deprioritized the biblical ordinances, relegating them to unpopular midweek services or ignoring them altogether. They would rather reject the clear commands of Scripture than risk offending an unbeliever or making anyone uncomfortable with unfamiliar church practices.
That's tragic. Baptism is perhaps the clearest expression and testimony we have to the life-changing power of Christ. And communion unites the church in celebration of the sacrifice He made on our behalf. They're not optional rituals—they're vivid examples to the power and work of the Lord, ordained and instituted by God for the growth, unity, and testimony of His church.
And even in churches where baptism and communion are administered, they're often directed as expressions of personal faith rather than corporate identity. They don't celebrate the commonality of the church, as we're baptized into one body and gathered at the foot of the cross to share in Christ's sacrifice. They're erroneously observed as individual acts, with individual significance and individual results.
Just as believers need to fight against the temptation to withdraw from the church, we also need to fight the tendency to isolate ourselves within the congregation. We can't reject our corporate identity in Christ—we're united in love, faith, and purpose. Baptism and communion are public expressions of that unity.
Over the next few days, we're going to examine the ordinances of the church, both what they mean and why they matter.

Shalom I was listening to Bible Questions & Answers, Part 60 on juvenile church and membership. I hope John macarthur can get to read this.
I am in baptist church but it very charismatic with a spiritual pastor and pastor with out solid theological training, any training they had will have been watered down.
As John macarthur was saying and I agree, the church I use to go too was very emotionaly driven and very visual stimulating, its not wrong it has its place. But this is the primary focus of attracting people into the church not God's Word.
Its very juvenile! But the way they tackle someone with suffering is they read things on timothy Keller, rob bell, make the sermon funny and very exciting and encouraging. Very water down sermons but its Like a therapy secular conferences. Just go to joel osteen or hillsong church and you know what I mean!
So the people seem to find comfort in that and well when they should be graving adult spiritual churches like GTY, they are not. Cause all these self help theray sprinkle with bible terminology is taking that place and they don't know any better. It works so they accept it cause they find comfort in these uplifting messages. But messages not design to grow them deeply in God's Truth. :(
So really they are just blind sheep not knowing what should be best for them spiritually. :( And their gurus timothy keller a catholic reformer and Rick warren is given them such big inspirtation so they fellow blindly. :(
So the issue is why don't the pastors care about this and why they flock to these water down teachers? Pastor who say they love the Lord? Perhaps no one from Biblical churches are going out their way to be friends with them and try and help them see? Anyone join their home group and became friends with these churches who say they love the Lord? So perhaps they just dont have proper biblical role models and just going on what they know works. And what works is Rick warren, Rob bell, Brian Mclaren, TImothy keller, etc
They seem to be atttracting many mega churches many like to follow them! And why don't many churches follow biblical churches like gty? And the answer is many travel the wide way and love it more then the narrow way. We who love truth will always be a minority hence why America will never be fix until Jesus arrives! We will always be a minority among the majority of churches just like in the New testament. As it was with the inquistion so it will be in the end of times much suffering.
Most charismatic pastors do not understand this or just can't see it cause Rick warren and the prophetic movement is saying that the church will be the one to purify and bring order to the world.
But I do urge to those who can too reach out to their churches who are blind! As Horton said the evangelist needs to be re evangelise!

Brother John, thanks for the comments and the series on the church. Very timely for our local congregation. You are correct about people that diminish the significance of baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper. Every conversion in Acts had an immediate response of water baptism. It was not a "scheduled" event, it was instead the reaction of the Ethiopian eunuch who stated "Look, here is water. Why shouldn't I be baptized?" I am troubled by those who say they don't need to be baptized. Occasionally, I run into folks who are embarrassed about being baptized in front of the assembly, and would rather do it in private. That is OK, except I try to encourage them that this is something that blesses the whole congregation and introduces them into the family. It also calls out those who have not been baptized.
Regarding the Lord's Supper, we try to do it every Sunday. Too often, however, I find myself focused on my own sin and my own responsibility for putting the Lord on the cross and not on the fellowship and community aspect of it. This series has been very good for me in emphasizing "family" and "sharing" and "community".
Bless you, brother John, and keep challenging us.

Two weeks ago I went to an "Evangelical Lutheran" church on my haphazard and half-hearted search for a church home. I put those words in quotations because in actuality the "preacher" professed the forgiveness of the sins of the congregation after a garbled hymn, and then proceeded to deny the Holy Spirit's work of conviction of sin by saying, in effect, that Jesus only wants to make us happy.
Needless to say, I was outraged, and I only lasted thirty minutes there before walking out the door. Yesterday, I attempted to sleep in after that failed attempt, thinking I would get some extra rest.
Be not deceived: God is not mocked. He requited me well for my slothfulness, and I realize that, being a new believer, I absolutely must find a church home in which I can be baptized.
However (and I realize there are no if's, and's, or but's about it), I am discouraged to see that there is a sparse amount of biblical teaching in my area. The closest TMS graduate is at least two hours or so away from me, and all the local congregations are some form of Catholicism or quasi-expository, questionable places. Granted, I haven't done responsible research, and I have only partially listened to some sermons online of local congregations to check their doctrine.
One close to me seems to be stressing the "relationship" with Christ rather than submission to the Lord of the Celestial Country, to use the expression. Also, he speaks almost constantly about discipleship, including in his teaching on the Sermon on the Mount. Are these red flags, or am I being superstitious?
Another assembly that seemed promising was a so-called Berean fellowship, which after further investigation seems to be partially Pentecostal. In their doctrinal statement, they affirm the standard aspects of the Bible and its inerrancy, along with the deity of Christ, however, they stress the necessity of a new convert speaking in tongues whenever they are baptized, and they also believe in the constant continuance of miracle working passed down by the apostles. Moreover, some photos they have online show many things that appeal to the flesh; it seems to gaudy to be sincere. Am I exercising good judgement in avoiding this place, or am I simply creating causes in my own mind to avoid church membership?
I'll be frank: if Paul is the chief of sinners, and Vernon McGee is second chief, then I'd have to claim third chief. I love the Lord, but I am a failure. I want to obey Him, and I hate my self and my sin, but I am so prone to wander. I hope in His Word, that He is the author and perfecter of my faith, but I grow so slowly!
Unto God belongs council and wisdom, but unto me, confusion of face. All I have left to say is this:
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen
1 Timothy 1:17
Home Sweet Home - That is what I was thinking when I arrived here and read this topic and the previous ones.
In my country, the Church (mostly Liberal Lutherans) is by no means, in a Biblical sense, a Christian Church.
Here the public debate is with questions as: Is it a necessity for a priest to be a believer?
And the Gospel preached, (if not entirely replaced with the preachers own philosophy) is another Gospel, not according to the Gospel given to the Apostle Paul, where homosexuality now is given same rights as ordinary marriage.
We are a few fighting for the truth, but who am I? Just a little lonely light in a sea of darkness, without a home – in this world.
This may sound funny, but I'm afraid to participate in the Lord's Supper/Communion for a couple of reasons. The first and foremost reason is because it is such a serious thing and the consequences of not being prepared properly is just too heavy of a thing for me to carry. The second reason which might sound weird to others is, well, isn't it a little unsanitary for 400 people to be dipping their hands in and touching all the little breads in the plate? I've watched how people take the breads - they are touching all of them! For real, there MUST be a better way to do this now. I don't have the solution but really, there must be a better way.
Hi Jennifer, it is encouraging that you have such reverence for the Lord's Table. It is true that many today take Paul's warnings (1 Corinthians 11:27-32) far too lightly or ignore them altogether. While we certainly do not want to eat or drink judgment upon ourselves by approaching communion in an irreverent manner, we also need to beware of the other extreme. It is something my football coach called paralysis by analysis. It is the danger of analyzing our lives to such a deep level of unworthiness that we become passive bystanders in the Body of Christ with an obscured view of why we needed Christ in the first place. If Jesus demanded sinless worthiness at communion, then He would have taken communion on our behalf as well.
Jennifer, your intention to obey Paul's warning in 1 Corinthians 11:27-29 is causing you to disobey Christ's command just two verses earlier to "Do this... in remembrance of me". If there is sin that you are aware of, repent of it and eat and drink with a heart of thankfulness for the imputed righteousness given by Christ and counting towards your own justification.
I would apply the same principle to your sanitary concerns.

John,I enjoy watching your experiments and it is no secret that you have continual positive results with extended fermentation time windows.What is your genuine opinion(as far as taste) between a same day, 24hr., and 48hr. dough, concerning the type you work with...thank you.Bob
I have been using all trumps, full strength, and harvest king for years. All trumps and full strength always seem to be the same (and are bromated/conditioned), where harvest king seems to change (not bromated/conditioned)
Anyway Bob, that's how I like my pizza.John
Me three John! Esson's description is spot on and the best pie I've lucked upon in my oven was from one of your recipes/formulas about a year ago. This is the cause for my current questions of you because I am finally, really paying attention and taking most important notes/filing. Hope you don't feel I'm being a pest, John, I appreciate that you are a busy man...and likewise, appreciate your time/contributions here on our 'lil forum.You are a good pizza person.... Bob
John,You pies look terrific. I have enjoyed watching your experiments. So do you think the better tastes in the crust and better pizzas are really from reballs and not the ascorbic acid?I also did a few experiments with ascorbic acid and other ingredients. I never really had any conclusions because I didnt continue with those experiments, but they were fun. This is one link to the thread that I was playing around with ascorbic acid, ginger and other homemade dough conditioners at Reply 157 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,13385.msg138709.html#msg138709 You can see Peters post next after mine.Norma
NormaIf one was going to try a "real" experiment...he would pick one bag of flour, take samples from it, and add potassium bromate to some, ascorbic acid to some and leave some plain....Now THAT would be the way to experiment. Since I don't have a way to do this, I tried the next best thing...I used all GM flours, All Trumps and King Kaiser. So, that's why I say, it's purely anecdotal......I can only report what I observed and tasted in this very small sample of pizzas I made. And not only was my sample small, I only used moderately hot ovens (550 degrees). Would my experiments change with a lot hotter oven....I just don't know!! But, from what I observed....the bromated flour and ascorbic acid flour were almost identical...they were much stronger than the flour with no conditioners...that is I worked harder to open up those doughs. For a 24 hour dough, the difference wasn't huge....the difference really shows up as the dough ages. But I was able to reball the weaker doughs to make them as strong as the conditioned doughs and this eliminated the advantage of having conditioned flours. I couldn't detect taste differences at all...only texture differences. That is why I mentioned to Peter that maybe Papa jOhns uses the ascorbic acid doughs as an insurance in the aging of their doughsYou know me though Norma....I'm a texture guy, and all doughs come to a point where they need help...and for me, that's the reball. Anyway, another fun round of experiments.Be well!!john

Topic: Using Autotest with Rails on Windows XP machines
This is a short tutorial on how to use autotest on a Windows XP device. The great thing about autotest is that it updates your test results automatically each time you make changes to your models, controllers or test files. Here's how to do it.
First, install ZenTest
gem install ZenTest
Then go to the directory of your rails application. For example:
cd c:\rails\myrailsapp
Next, before you start autotest, you should always set the env variable. At least on Windows. You do it like so
set HOME = C:\Documents and Settings\username
Note that username is your name on your machine. It could be daibatzu or john, lisa, mark whatever. So for john it would be "set HOME = C:\Documents and Settings\john".

|Patrick Deneen takes third place during the FIS Freestyle Ski World Championship dual moguls on March 8, 2013, in Voss, Norway.
FIS Freestyle World Championships, March 4-10, Oslo-Tryvann, Norway
Hannah Kearney led a strong American finish in the moguls at the FIS Freestyle World Championships by winning gold Wednesday, while Patrick Deneen took the bronze.
In the dual moguls competition today, Kearney and Deneen both earned bronze.
Still to come in the competition is slopestyle Saturday and ski cross Sunday. Alex Schlopy is seeking his second consecutive world title in slopestyle. Other slopestyle contenders include Tom Wallisch, Gus Kenworthy, Jamie Crane-Mauzy and Grete Eliassen. Joe Swensson and John Teller will compete in ski cross.
"I put the pressure on myself today to elevate my skiing to where the competition is," Kearney said. "That's what I have to do at every event in order to be successful. Whether it's a World Cup, world champs or the Olympics. Moguls is a difficult sport and often inconsistent so to be able to say I won this event eight years ago is a testament to the consistency of my skiing. That's something I'm extremely proud of."
Emily Cook placed 10th in women's aerials Thursday, and Dylan Ferguson was 11th.

IBU World Cup, March 7-10, Sochi, Russia
Less than one year from the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, 2013 world silver medalist Tim Burke began a World Cup event by placing fifth Thursday in the men's 20-kilometer individual race. The competition is being held on the Olympic course near Sochi, Russia. Three U.S. athletes had top-15 finishes in the men's and women's races, as Susan Dunklee finished eighth in the women's 15k race, and Annelies Cook was 14th.
Racing resumes Saturday with the men's 10k sprint and the women's 7.5k sprint. The competition concludes Sunday with the men's and women's relay events.
"This is clearly the toughest course that I have ever raced," said Burke, who entered the Sochi competition with a 15th-place standing in the World Cup overall points list. "I was very happy to see today (Thursday) that I can be among the best on this course when I am in good shape. Not only are the uphills brutal here, but the downhills feel like they belong on a GS (giant slalom) course. It was great to have a chance to feel out the course today. Now I know what I need to focus on for training this year."
North American Cup, March 6-10, Lake Placid, N.Y.
Austin McCrary and Ryan Sweeney are ranked 4-5 in men's skeleton, and Savannah Graybill is ranked fourth in women's skeleton entering the North American Cup finale in Lake Placid.

The Lexettes of Lexington and Marlborough, Mass., and the Skyliners of New York will represent the United States at this weekend's ISU World Junior Synchronized Skating Championships. The Lexettes are in the worlds for the first time after winning the 2013 World Junior Team Selection Competition. They won bronze at last week's U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships. The Skyliners, who won silver at the national junior championships, are in the worlds for the fourth consecutive year.
Algarve Cup, March 6-13, Albufeira and Lagos, Portugal
The U.S. Women's National Team will play Sweden on Monday in its third game in the Algarve Cup in Portugal. The United States won its opening-round game against host Portugal, 3-0, on Wednesday. Team USA continued its success Friday with a 5-0 win over China PR, highlighted by the first international goals for defenders Ali Krieger and Whitney Engen.
The championship game will be played Wednesday.
Abby Wambach's 154th career goal in the win over Portugal pulled her to within four goals of Mia Hamm's all-time record. With three games to go in the Algarve Cup, the record could fall soon.
"Right now my thoughts are not about that," said Wambach, a two-time Olympic gold medalist. "It's about the Algarve Cup and getting the wins we need to get to the final. This isn't an easy tournament to win. There are great teams in this tournament, and if the goals come from me or Alex (Morgan) or Boxy (Shannon Boxx) or (Rachel) Buehler, so be it."
One of the challenges for the United States will be on defense. No. 1 goalkeeper Hope Solo is out with a wrist injury. Jill Loyden, who played the entire Portugal game, broke a bone in her hand during practice Thursday.
World Baseball Classic, March 8-19, various sites
R.A. Dickey of the Toronto Blue Jays will be the starting pitcher for Team USA Friday in its opening game of the World Baseball Classic at Chase Field in Phoenix.

After facing Mexico, the United States will face Italy on Saturday night and Canada on Sunday afternoon. The second round begins Tuesday at Marlins Park in Miami.
In the days leading up to Friday's opener, the United States lost two key players. New York Yankees All-Star first baseman Mark Teixeira was lost to a wrist injury and relief pitcher Chris Perez of the Cleveland Indians suffered a shoulder injury. They were replaced by Eric Hosmer of the Kansas City Royals and David Hernandez of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
"Every single one of them is excited to be having this opportunity of playing for the U.S.," U.S. manager Joe Torre told mlb.com. "To me, they're here for a reason. Each and every one of them picked themselves up and left their (Major League Baseball) teams. It's not because they have to be here. It's because they want to be."

The U.S. Women's Field Hockey Team, ranked No. 10 in the world, will face Chile Saturday and Trinidad & Tobago Sunday in the International Hockey Federation (IHF) World League, Round 2. Two-time Olympian Rachel Dawson had her 200th international cap Thursday, but after a 1-1 draw with Scotland, the United States lost in a penalty shoot-out.
"To earn 200 caps is a tremendous achievement," U.S. coach Craig Parnham said. "Rachel has been around for many years and teams have admired her from afar for her passion and commitment to the game. She loves what she does with this team and everything she does is for the group. She is absolutely a fantastic role model for USA Field Hockey."
The loss to Scotland was the first for the United States in three Round 2 matches. The top two teams in the tournament will advance to World League Round 3, a part of the qualifying process for the 2014 World Cup.
On the men's side, Argentina routed the United States, 9-0, and the Americans will not advance to World League Round 3 in Rio de Janeiro. However, Team USA can still qualify for the 2014 through the Pan American Cup to be held in August in Toronto.

Linguistic Field(s): Philosophy of Language; Pragmatics; Semantics
Call Deadline: 01-Aug-2009
Meeting Description:
Subjective meaning, as expressed by predicates of personal taste like
'tasty' and 'fun', has recently become the center of attention of linguists
and philosophers of language. This workshop aims to discuss various
solutions for the problem of faultless disagreement: one can deny a
speaker's subjective utterance without challenging the opinion of the
speaker. One way to account for this is to relativize truth to individuals
(relativism), but it remains open if a more conservative solution is
possible. We expect that fruitful alternatives might come from the area of
comparative semantics, or from the study of expressives.
Invited speakers:
Kai von Fintel
Call for Papers:
The main goal of this workshop is to discuss various solutions for the
problem of faultless disagreement: one may deny a speaker's subjective
utterance, without challenging the speaker's opinion.
A: Applewine is tasty!
B: Nu uh, applewine is not tasty at all!
A and B are contradicting each other, but may nevertheless both be right.
One way to account for this intuition is to extend our indices of
evaluation to include a person (the judge), thereby relativizing truth to
individuals (Lasersohn 2005, Stephenson 2007). But perhaps we can make do
with a standard context-dependent semantics, assuming that the context need
not unambiguously set the identity of the judge. Then A actually expresses
a multitude of propositions, and B just disagrees with one of these (von
Fintel & Gillies 2008). Open questions are whether such a contextualist
proposal can account for all of the data (especially the interaction with
attitude verbs) and how we can adjudicate between relativism and
Predicates of personal taste have not yet been thoroughly compared with
gradable adjectives and expressives. This is unfortunate, as promising
solutions could emerge from this.
- With gradable adjectives we find truth-conditional variability too: a
space shuttle may be expensive if one compares its price with that of a
car, or not if one compares it to other space shuttles. The standard of
comparison may be completely subjective: ''I personally find this space
shuttle expensive''. Perhaps faultless disagreement can be analyzed as
meta-linguistic disagreement about the identity of the standard of comparison?
-A speaker may report that applewine tastes good to him by simply uttering
the expressive ''Hmmm!''.
Perhaps the intuition of faultless disagreement may be reduced to general
conditions of use governing expressives? (Speaker B may ignore A's
expressive: A: ''I saw your damn dog in the park yesterday.'' B: ''No you
didn't, the cutie pie passed away last week''.)
There is still much to discover and analyze concerning the interaction
between subjective predicates and attitude verbs. Questions of interest
- How does the attitude affect the identity possibilities for the judge? (I
think that the new cat food is tasty vs. I find that the new cat food is tasty)
-How do subjective attitudes interact with gradable adjectives? (The table
is clean vs. I find the table clean (different standards))
-Why does this interaction vary? (I find the paper long vs. I find the
cigarette long)
Finally, we welcome empirical studies on subjective judgements. These
judgements could be subjective data as collected by testing consumers
(e.g., Do you prefer A over B?). What follows from these consumer tests:
that one is in fact better than the other? Descriptive sensory analysis
aims at standardize evaluation methods of consumer products. Which methods
are used in order to reduce subjective parameters in evaluating products?
Are there question types that systematically fail to induce consistent
answering patterns, because the judgements are ''too'' subjective?
We invite submissions for 30 min. or 60 min. talks (including discussion)
relating to any of the above issues. We also welcome submissions defending
relativism over possible alternatives. Abstracts should be at most 2 pages
in length. Please submit your anonymous abstract electronically in
pdf-format at
. If you
have preferences regarding the talk length, please mention this in your
Submissions will be selected by the workshop organizers and the invited
speakers (further invited speakers will soon be added).
Submission deadline: August 1, 2009
Notification: September 1, 2009

allowed to present in one of the DGfS-workshops.

I have a 1.5 year old golden and she loves to retrieve anything. I have spent much time training her on "dummy" retrieves and she does great.
1st season this year and she does great marking and heading out to fallen bird but seems to not want to pick the bird up and return it. Seems liek she is unsure to grab it. Meanwhile at home she will retrieve birds the cat kills, rodents anything.
Worked with her back at boat launch with bagged duck and she seems to get better but hesitating and seemingly uncertain vs toys, balls and duck dummy.
Looking for some tips. Not sure if it is just all the new experiences etc?
Thanks for the help

You need to train using birds. Never ask your dog to do anything in the field that you haven't showed it to do during training. Introducing birds usually happpens during puppy training and is phased in during diff phases of training depending on how the dog takes to birds. I.e. if the dog is mouthy on birds, you wait until after force fetch so the dog's mouth habits are better. Are you following a training program?

I have a similar problem with my 2 yr old lab. She will retreive anything I throw and any pheasant I have shot over her. She is steady in the duck blind and obeys well until it comes time to actually pick up the duck! She will go out as if to retrieve, smells the duck but only rarely will she pick it up and bring it back. Then it had better be a live duck because she has no interest in a dead duck.
I've used dummies with duck wings attached and she's fine with these. Any suggestions?

if you have not force fetched your dog, then you have missed a critical step in your training. also, using real birds, both alive and dead are essential. lastly, backyard training and real hunt conditions are not the same. therefore, don't expect the same results.
forget the toys and other play retrieves. stay focused on the real deal. over and over and over again. keep it fun. lot's of praise.
i have just rounded the corner with my 12 month golden. he is now fully engaged in the game. we worked hard together, with some help from a couple pro's and it has now paid off. he now has several dozen retrieves to his credit so far this season, in many different settings.
while working on retrieving skills, make sure you hammer in the obedience. a good retriever that has no hunting blind manners is worthless.
good luck. keep us posted.
"Cripples are our worst legacy. Hunt with a Retriever."
"Phil Robertson calls me for advice." :)

Facebook Traditions Sweepstakes Winners Visit Sunriver Resort
Our Facebook Traditions Sweepstakes was a big hit during the week leading up to Thanksgiving. Sunriver Resort fans were encouraged to share their own favorite holiday tradition via submission form on Sunriver Resort's Facebook page, and the winning family was rewarded with a magical three night Traditions vacation getaway to Sunriver Resort early this month.
Our Facebook Traditions Sweepstakes was a big hit during the week leading up to Thanksgiving. Sunriver Resort fans were encouraged to share their own favorite holiday tradition via submission form on Sunriver Resort's Facebook page. The many funny, heartfelt, silly, and touching submissions that we received wholeheartedly paid tribute to the true spirit of the holiday season that is present during this special time of year. The Camille and Keith Wade family submitted the following comment which ultimately went on to win the sweepstakes:
Until we moved two years ago, one of our favorite traditions was a horse drawn wagon ride around our small town. We would bundle up and wait in town to hear the jingle bells and clip clop of the huge draft horses. Then we rode through town singing Christmas carols while the horses, Sugar and Spice, trotted happily. We capped it off with cookies and cocoa in the local Ace Hardware.
The Wade family was contacted as our coveted Traditions Sweepstakes winners on Thursday, December 5. Because both of their little girls (ages 3 and 6) were busy with school and were diligently practicing for their roles in The Nutcracker, the family was limited on dates available for travel before the holidays. Their only option was to arrive the very next day! The Sunriver Resort team banded together and quickly coordinated an entire weekend full of festive activities just in time for The Wade Family's arrival not 24 hours later.
The family arrived at their Caldera Cabin to find a decorated Christmas tree all set up in true holiday spirit, a personalized letter from Santa himself, a hot cocoa filled Hydroflask growler, and customized gifts for each family member under the tree. The refrigerator was fully stocked with lunch fixings for their entire three day stay and all their meals covered as part of their getaway, including a full pre-planned breakfast that was delivered to their house on Sunday. The Wade's were transported, literally overnight, to the customized Sunriver Resort holiday getaway of their dreams.
The Wade's three day escape was filled with the many magical activities that make Traditions at Sunriver Resort so memorable. From a sleigh ride in the new fallen snow to breakfast with Santa, ice skating passes to snowshoe rentals, gingerbread cookie decorating to elf tuck-ins, they truly embraced the magic of the season.
Thank you to The Wade Family for sharing your holiday memories with us, and for allowing Sunriver Resort to help create new memories that we hope last forever.
