Arizona Diamondbacks
Recovered Brandon McCarthy looks for new lease on life with Arizona Diamondbacks
The Arizona Diamondbacks are gambling on right-handed hurler Brandon McCarthy recovering from a severe health incident a season ago to become an instrumental part of their starting rotation.
The 29-year-old free agent inked a two-year, $15.5 million contract with the D-backs this offseason and is expected to provide depth to an already impressive pitching staff.
McCarthy was struck on the right side of his head by a line drive off the bat of the Los Angeles Angels' Erick Aybar on Sept. 5.
"I was sort of hesitant as to what I could do or what I was capable of, and then once they pushed me through it, I realized actually I think I'm fine," McCarthy said after undergoing testing a month ago. "Ever since that day, I haven't been restricted by anything. I've felt no symptoms. It's become as much of a non-factor as something that major can be."
McCarthy had surgery for a brain contusion, skull fracture and epidural hemorrhage. Despite the severity of the injury he suffered, the right-hander passed his physical with the D-backs and received a positive report from a concession specialist at the University of Pittsburgh.
"I came through that two or three days of testing to where everything was extremely normal — where I tested right where I would have if I hadn't had the incident," McCarthy stated.
The D-backs weren't the only team who wanted a chance to bring a recovered McCarthy into the fold. He amassed an 8-6 record with a 3.24 ERA and 73 strikeouts in 18 starts for the Oakland Athletics last season. The new D-back boasts a career 37-39 record with a 4.02 ERA and 447 punchouts in 654.1 IP in six major league seasons.
McCarthy said he chose the D-backs in part because of his own comfort level and familiarity of the area, with family members residing in both Scottsdale and Tucson. But the main reason he decided on Arizona was due to the impressive core of the ballclub.
"It's a team that's so close to being competitive and two years ago you're removed from an extremely competitive team, and I think all the ingredients are there for that," McCarthy said. "A really deep starting rotation, there's a lot of good offensive talent there, especially young talent. There's some good defensive players. I think you have everything that you're looking for, for a team to make a deep run and possibly win the whole thing."
For his own personal needs, McCarthy said the situation with the D-backs was exactly what he was seeking.
"When you're looking for something in the shorter term the way we were that's an important thing. You want to know that you are joining a good team and you could possibly be one of those final pieces too," McCarthy stated.
Off the field, the D-backs hurler is known for his witty persona and should be a positive influence and lively clubhouse presence. On the mound, McCarthy should benefit in a hitter's ballpark in large part to his refined mechanics that have reduced the number of fly balls he's allowed.
"I think more of an emphasis of getting the ground ball now is something that will help me, but it doesn't mean it's a guaranteed victory there," McCarthy said. "A tough park is a tough park. It's just there's still that emphasis on making pitches, making quality pitches."

I am excited to report that we have recently added a new breast cancer radiation treatment alternative for patients treated at the Swedish Cancer Institute. SAVI is a form of accelerated partial breast radiation that provides an alternative to the 6 weeks of treatment usually recommended to breast cancer patients. About a week after surgery, once we know that the cancer has been completely removed, a catheter is placed into the breast to deliver radiation treatment directly into the surgical cavity. Treatment now is delivered over five days instead of the standard 6-7 weeks of daily sessions.
But, the questions addressed by the article were different than the questions generated by the research.

The NHL needs to find ways to make the game more exciting and an overall better product. Here's a few of my ideas.
1. Get rid of that goalie trapezoid. I like watching Marty Brodeur and other goalies who can stickhandle.
2. More penalty shots on plays that are breakaway or near-breakaway plays. If Jussi Jokinen steals the puck at his own blue line and somebody hooks him at the red line. Give him a penalty shot. Don't make him get all the way to the opposing blue line to make it a shot.
3. If you commit a penalty in the last 2 minutes of regulation or overtime, the game continues until the penalty time runs out. Give the team their full two minutes of PP time. I think that this should apply only if the penalized team is either winning or the game is tied. If you were losing, you shouldn't be able to just continuously commit penalties to attempt to make the game last longer till you get a short-handed goal (which could take forever).
4. If a goalie commits a penalty, make him serve it. If Steve Mason slashes somebody and the ref gives him a minor, take Mason off the ice for 2 minutes. Allow the Jackets to bring in Mathieu Garon, and take a skater off the ice. When the penalty time runs out, the skater can come out and finish the play till the whistle. Then at the whistle, Mason can come back into the game.
5. Don't allow the short-handed team to ice the puck. This would increase power-play goals and decrease all the obstruction because teams will be more afraid of being short-handed.
I may think of more. Interested what you guys think about what I proposed and any ideas that you may have.

""Flying is like good music. It elevates the spirit and it's an exhilarating freedom. I love the machines, I love the aviation community. I used to own airplanes and have pilots flying them for me, but I finally realized they were having more fun than I was." —actor and pilot Harrison Ford, in the Daily Mail (UK) "
Elegant Escapes
For private jet travelers intent on satisfying their own "urge for going," winter flights south often begin with a quick, cold dash from the limo or terminal across a wind-blown, icy ramp to a toasty preheated cabin. The rest of the flight passes in climate-controlled comfort until you emerge-relaxed and refreshed-to take on the sun.
For pilots, however, winter flying involves a host of differences when compared with plying the summer skies. For sure, there are liabilities beyond the simple discomfort of battling wind and elements. But there are also positives that come with the sinking mercury readings. On balance, winter flying might be considered better or worse, depending on your perspective. But it is certainly different.
Ensuring that the airplane is free of accumulated ice and snow is the first and most obvious safety concern. After some high-profile takeoff accidents over the past few years, the FAA has rewritten regulations regarding preflight deicing. And in any case, only the most out-of-touch flight crews would ignore even trace amounts of wing ice, now that everyone throughout the industry is so painfully aware of how much it can degrade lift at the most critical stages of flight.
There are other, perhaps less obvious, concerns for winter takeoffs. Slush on a runway can degrade acceleration more profoundly than any other form of runway contamination. Icy water splashing up into wheel wells and coating flap attach points has been known to freeze solid in flight, leaving the airplane unable to extend flaps or wheels for landing.
Even in summer, jets fly at altitudes where temperatures are almost always well below zero Fahrenheit. For that reason, many jets have fuel heaters. Even trace amounts of water in a jet fuel tank can freeze, creating crystals that can block fuel lines and cause engine failure. Another way to combat fuel icing is blending in an additive at the pump that acts as an antifreeze within the fuel supply. (Some fuel suppliers pre-blend their additives.) Either way will keep the go-juice flowing under the most frigid conditions.
While the passengers have a quick run across the tarmac, flight crews aren't so lucky. Doing a thorough preflight inspection in the predawn hours when the wind is howling is never a walk in the park, and frankly it is sometimes not done as thoroughly as it should be. This is one good reason the expense of putting the airplane in a hangar-if not overnight, than at least for the time it takes to do the preflight-is worth it.
Pilots must also consider varying weather-formulating flight plans with strong west winds in mind. At typical business-jet cruise altitudes, it isn't uncommon for the jet stream to flow at close to 200 miles per hour. Since the jet stream flows mainly west to east in the Northern Hemisphere, you can expect relatively quick west-to-east flights-but a long day's journey into night when you're headed west for some "California dreamin'." Sometimes, however, the jet stream will curve southward on its track from western Canada and make a U-turn over the southern U.S., before bending back toward the northeast. Depending on one's route, this can cause north-south flights to be faster or slower than normal and subject east-west flights to more-than-normal turbulence.
Certainly, not all aspects of winter weather are negative. Systems and fronts tend to move more quickly than they do in warmer weather, leaving less chance of long periods of stagnant low visibility. Thunderstorms, among the deadliest of aviation hazards, are virtually nonexistent in winter. And cold air is significantly denser than warm air, meaning that engines develop more power and wings provide greater lift. A high-altitude runway that might have been marginal for a midday summer takeoff at 90 degrees is no problem when the air is crisp and frosty.
Of course, there is such a thing as too cold, even for an inanimate airplane. That is why new models must be tested under natural conditions at low temperatures to achieve certification.
Consider that an airplane-especially a modern business jet-is much more than engines and airframe. It's a complex mechanical organism made up of electrical, hydraulic and computer systems that must work in flawless, triple-redundant harmony-even when the mercury goes deep into hibernation at the bottom of the thermometer. Think about how well you'd be able to trust your laptop computer if it had been sitting for three days on an airport ramp at 40 below during a blizzard. Most PC monitors lapse into cardiac arrest at anything much below room temperature. For an airplane, all systems must prove workable first time, every time, or they are not certified. Toll-free help lines aren't much help at 51,000 feet.
So a modern jet really is a marvel-not just in its speed, luxury and beauty. Each one also represents innumerable engineering feats, many of them worthy of coverage in Scientific American, let alone Business Jet Traveler. So as you board your airplane at some frigid northern airport on your way to the balmy Bahamas, think about what has gone into the design of this remarkable machine, and what it takes to fly it safely under these trying conditions. Then remember those geese in chevron flight-and consider how elegantly you've assuaged your own "urge for going."

INDIANAPOLIS - Thirty-six divers have qualified to participate in USA Diving's Olympic team selection camp, set for July 2-6 in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The first four divers nominated to the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team were determined at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Indianapolis last week, where Troy Dumais (Ventura, Calif.) and Christina Loukas (Riverwoods, Ill.) won the 3-meter springboard contests and David Boudia (Noblesville, Ind.) and Laura Wilkinson (Spring, Texas) placed first on platform to secure their nominations to the team. All four will participate in the camp, with three of them in the hunt for spots on additional events.
The second individual spot on each event as well as all four synchronized teams will be determined at the selection camp in Knoxville. Divers and synchro teams will perform four lists of dives throughout the camp and will be evaluated on a number of factors, not simply a final score.
Divers qualified for the camp based on performances at the Trials (individual events) or at past national championships (synchro events).
USA Diving will announce the final roster at noon on July 7.
The 2008 Olympic Games will be held in Beijing from August 8-24. Competition will be conducted in four events for both men and women: 3-meter, 10-meter, synchronized 3-meter, and synchronized 10-meter. The U.S. may enter two divers on each individual event and one team per synchronized event.

New Gear: Street by 50 On-Ear Headphones
If you've been keeping up with our headphone coverage, you know that the S+V team can come down a little hard on celebrity-branded models - too often, the name attached means nothing more than price-inflating licensing fees paid for showing up at a few press appearances. Sure, there are a few exceptions, but we've run into one at least one popular artist who actually does seem knowlegeable about, concerned with, and involved in the sound quality of his product - and that's Curtis Jackson, a.k.a 50 Cent. That showed in the wireless Sync by 50 we looked at late last year, and we're hoping that the trend continues with 50's latest, the on-ear Street by 50 ($179.95), announced today.
The folding portable comes with a hardshell case; earpads are real leather (backed by memory foam), and the 40 mm driver-sporting 'phones are tuned, says the company, to deliver a sound that should appeal across genres. We're looking forward to getting our ears on a pair ASAP.

Michigan defense leaves Syracuse black and blue
ATLANTA — Syracuse's chances against Michigan depended on how much ugliness it could spread.
The more flaws and wrinkles and brass knuckles, the more the Orange was supposed to prosper.
Instead, Michigan augmented its free-flowing offense with Bo Schembechler-style defense of its own and eliminated the Orange, 61-56, in the NCAA semifinals Saturday.
Michigan, which is 1 for 5 in national championship games, meets Louisville on Monday night.
The Wolverines had shot better than 49 percent in three of their four NCAA Tournament games but were reduced to 39.6 percent by Syracuse's storied zone. It has been 14 games since the Wolverines shot that poorly, and that was in a 23-point loss to Michigan State that seemed to dim their status as title contenders.
Trey Burke, the national player of the year, missed 7 of 8 shots. Tim Hardaway Jr. missed 12 of 16, and Michigan missed two-thirds of its shots in the second half.
But Michigan's Winston Morgan drew a charging foul from Branton Triche with 19 seconds left, preserving the Wolverines' two-point lead.
"If I had to do it over I would have pulled up," Triche said. "I didn't see the guy waiting for me until I was in the air."
Syracuse had one final chance, three points down. James Southerland, who had stroked a 3-pointer for his only basket with 41 seconds left, was supposed to try another one on the wing. Instead, Michigan switched its defense on him, and Trevor Cooney was forced to drive for a two-pointer that missed.
The Orange went 3 for 14 from 3-point land, while the Wolverines, who last played in a title game 20 years ago, hit 8 for 24. Spike Allbrecht and Caris LeVert, coming off Michigan's bench, hit 4 of 5 deep shots.
"We didn't play with much energy defensively in the first half," losing coach Jim Boeheim said. "We didn't hit shots, but then we haven't hit shots all year. In the second half our defense gave us a chance to win and was much better. Our offense was not."
But Boeheim noted Syracuse was down by six with 57 seconds left and still conjured up a chance to win, although four missed free throws by Burke and Mitch McGary helped.
McGary grabbed 12 rebounds to go with 10 points and six assists, and Michigan had 13 offensive boards against the Syracuse zone. That helped to offset a 22-point night by the Orange's C.J. Fair. Without him, Syracuse shot 14 for 35.
"I could have probably hit more free throws, probably sealed the deal, but that's the game that happens," said McGary, who, with Hardaway and Nik Stauskas, makes up Michigan's freshman starting class.
But possibly the key stat was Syracuse's inability to get the takeaways that led to easy hoops. Michigan, which commits fewer turnovers than any team in Division I, suffered 10, and the Orange could parlay them into only nine points.
"We know that's what they strive for," Burke said.
Now Michigan prepares for Louisville's pressure defense in Monday's final. A lot of factors go into that, but the Wolverines faced the same type of defense against Virginia Commonwealth in the second round. The final that day: 78-53.

Skip to comments.Are you an ABO like me PO'd at JR for getting called a RINO? Truce declared! Please DONATE!
Posted on 05/06/2012 8:09:35 AM PDT by Seizethecarp
Attention "Anyone But Obama" (ABO) FReepers! If you go to the thread at the link you will will see that JimRob has "declared a truce" and hundreds of ABO FReepers are now vigorously defending their belief, which I share, that the ineligible Marxist Manchurian MUST BE DEFEATED to preserve the Republic...without fear of "the ZOT"! Please consider a DONATION not just to fund renewal of expression and amplification of your ABO views, but let's over-achieve this FReepathon to get JR his new equipment!
IMO, Free Republic and FReepers could be vital in swing states in rallying just enough conservatives to tip the election and prevent our troops from having to salute for even one day longer than necessary an ineligible Marxist committed to destroying the USA !
Could you please at least reconsider your barrage of "ABO" as this euphemism for (potential) Romney voters, etc. (& others who will seek to find "safe haven" under that umbrella?)?
I mean, 4 more "ABO" euphemisms in this post...gives you 35 for this thread in 18 posts...A nice "twice" average per post...
The pro-aborts learned that if you repeat "pro-choice" enough, it sticks...
And we've had a few posts from at least two people planning on voting for Romney who concede this is an obvious euphemism...but haven't called you out on it.
Well, I am.
ALL: I addressed this once earlier (post 1,210) but wanted to reinforce what I said there...that it doesn't matter what Romney's own "personal machinations" are -- or aren't -- re either inflicting Mormonism upon the public-at-large or associated concerns...
What needs to be "vetted" is the Mormon "prophet" and future Mormon "prophets" during any of the 4-8 years Romney could be in the White House. What are their machinations -- based upon the "track record" of previous Lds "prophets" and other general authorities?

Romney, who humbly said, '..I have never hesitated to follow the counsel of the Authorities of the Church even though it crossed my social, professional, and political life' (Conference Report, April 1941, p. 123). There are, or will be moments when prophetic declarations collide with our pride or our seeming personal interests...Do I believe in the living prophet even when he speaks on matters affecting me and my specialty directly? Or do I stop sustaining the prophet when his words fall in my territory? if the latter, the prophet is without honor in our country! (Things As They Really Are, p. 73).

|Mitt Romney as POTUS???
|Aside from above prophetic impositions, why would Mitt not only honor what these 'prophets' have spoken, but what a future Lds 'prophet' may tell him to do?
|The Law of Consecration Oath Mitt Romney has sworn in the Mormon temple (done before marriage/sealing in temple): "You and each of you covenant and promise before God, angels, and these witnesses at this altar, that you do accept the law of consecration as contained in this, the book of Doctrine and Covenants [he displays the book], in that you do consecrate yourselves, your time, talents, and EVERYTHING with which the Lord has blessed you, or WITH which he MAY bless you, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for the building up of the kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment of Zion." Source: What is an LDS Church/Mormon temple marriage/sealing? [Q: Please define 'Zion': The LDS PR Web site (lds.org) defines its primary meaning: "membership in the [LDS] church."]
Thanks for holding the line on anti-Christian bigotry Jim.
To solidify conservative backing for 2014 and 2016, I expect shameless opportunist Romney, the man without a core, to be the most zealous advocate and practitioner of constitutional conservatism as president including, as I said, getting advanced blessing from the Federalist Society for his SCOTUS nominations.
Thank you for your response.
If you would check several times where I've already posted this (graphs below)...you'll see I don't assume that (see especially the 3 graphs just below the 5-bullet-points section):
If people want to understand how Mormonism's approach to the socio-political realm, they may want to read these two articles (the first written by a Mormon; the second by an ex-Mormon):
* Mitt Romney mirrors his Mormon church [Lds writer says Romney flip-flops 'cause Lds church has/does]
* Who is Mitt Romney? [Ex-Lds author reveals why Mitt's wishy-washy culture waffles & flip-flops]
In the first linked article above, Mormon Neal Chandler highlights how in the 19th century...
* Mormons forced communism upon its people -- and then not (United Order)
* Adhered to theocracies under its first two "prophets" -- and then slowly drew back
* Said polygamy was a condition of the highest degree of glory -- and then not
* Encourage its Utah Territory voters to be Democrats -- and then told whole groups of people wholesale to "balance it out" as Republicans as statehood approached
* Excluded blacks -- and then late in the 20th century not
From the second article linked above: What makes Mitt the kind of person he is ruthlessly opportunistic, dishonest, insincere, willing to say anything for advantage, lacking in conscience, preoccupied with appearance, etc., on the one hand, yet squeaky clean, family-oriented, disciplined, boring, and predictable, on the other? My new e-book, A Mormon Story, sheds light on the culture that produced Mitt Romney.
Good question. (It's one I've raised -- and answered numerous times on various FR threads)
The answer, says this ex-Mormon in the book referenced above is: (From the article): The book reveals a VALUE SYSTEM that ultimately has no absolutes, other than the need to conform to deep-seated, highly-controlling authoritarianism that pervades LDS culture. That culture emphasizes a Mormon tradition known as "eternal progression" undoctrinal spiritual evolution in which even God is changing. It also emphasizes the notion that the latest words of governing church leaders trump the Word of God found in the scriptures (including LDS scripture).
IOW, EVERYTHING in Mormonism -- from its theology to its social practices -- is up for potential change at the whim of the Mormon god. Bottom-line: There is no bottom-line in Mormonism! There is no bedrock doctrine that cannot be replaced!
There isn't even an Ultimate god in Mormonism...Nobody knows who the gods are that were part of the council which appointed the god of this world -- a former man, say Mormons.
So there's not even any Ultimate Authority in Mormonism!
To solidify conservative backing for 2014 and 2016, I expect shameless opportunist Romney, the man without a core...
"Without a core" -- perhaps then...but not without moorings...you don't give 10% of your income...receive promises of having a family live together forever...receive promises of becoming a full-grown-up "god" of your own world...minus moorings...an anchor...[and don't assume the "puppets" in Salt Lake City are agenda-less]...
While it's true those "prophet" puppeteers meander (see those bullet points above), it doesn't mean they are not operating upon temporal/seasonal relativistic purposes.
It is imperfect shorthand, but in the context of my opening post on this thread and in the context of JimRob's TRUCE declaration to which this thread linked (and the TRUCE declaration re-posted in this thread) it should be clear that persons who actually SUPPORT Romney, as in admire Romney and believe he is a sincere candidate, are NOT covered by the TRUCE and are not invited back to posting overt support for Romney on FR.
I only had so many characters to put in the limited space of the allowed FR title and I wanted to jam in a lot of concepts in a small space. The thread, warts and all (including two who thought I said JR had been called a RINO), has drawn 1300 comments!
I don't accept the literal meaning of "ABO" because I would not vote for a candidate who would harm the Republic MORE that Obama just to avoid voting for Obama. That would be unpatriotic, IMO. But the anti-Obama FReepers who also loathed Romney and who took offense at comments that were made about them before the TRUCE to the point of demanding to be Zotted self identified as "ABO."
In view of the loss of the extra funding for Jim's equipment in this FReepathon I devised a title for a thread that would most clearly invite these self-identifying ABO FReepers who also loathed Romney to read the thread, find out about the TRUCE if they had missed it and reconsider that cancellation of donation or withheld donation.
Five or six ABO FReepers on this thread have commented that they have reconsidered and RENEWED their donations as a direct result of this thread. Another half dozen were drawn to the thead by the ABO term and said "no deal" they were still PO'd at JR and FR...yet they are still on FR and read the thread...and some have renewed making their case that voting against Obama is currently the highest priority for them.
I also don't agree that the term "RINO" makes any sense, as a comment mentioned way up thread. The correct term, IMO, would be CINO, that that is not the name that the ABO FReepers were called before they were invited to consider leaving FR, so I used the term RINO.
Thank you very much, GeoPie!!
Why not acronyms like PRV (Potential Romney Voter)? Which depicts the proper wariness ANY conservative should have in voting for Romney...
Obviously for those who've already made up their mind, drop the "P"...RV (Romney Voter)
Then for those who are subtly promoting Romney -- or dissing third-party voters...those would be: "RPA" (Romney Public Advocates) or "RPC" (Romney Public Campaigners)...which WE both know few non-OPUSing FREEPERs would readily "ID" themselves as (in keeping with the site host's wishes).
Which means the above acronyms simply serve to allow the RPAs and RPCs to "slide in" -- safe haven-like -- under the other acronyms above...especially yours.
Now that may not be your intention...but it does -- in part -- provide "safe haven" beyond the "I-see-no-choice-but-to-vote-Romney-as-of-now" clan...which are Romney campaigners, advocates, etc. operating "on the sly."
But...I concede..."RV" might do the same thing...it's just more frank...and not euphemistic...
This is an open forum. If you post comments on it, expect someone to address them.
If you find something you don't like posted by another FReeper, you could always do the mature thing and ignore it instead of trying to shut others down.
caww has every bit as much right as you do to post. I'm pretty positive that if someone told you to go stand in a corner and shut up, you wouldn't be real excited about it.
Well put!
+1 !!
YEt you still refuse to point out the evidence, but hope others will do the work.
My last post to you on this thread.
Am I surprised?
It is really simple; isn't it!
Jesus answered, The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.
1 John 3:21-24
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps Gods commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

JESUS: Hey Smith! Remember that boast you made about doing more than even I had done to hold the 'church' together?
JOSEPH SMITH: Where am I?
JESUS: Don't you remember? A few seconds ago you were in that jail.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah; but where am I NOW?
JESUS: Don't you remember? Does bang - bang ring a bell?
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah - that crummy gun I had was about USELESS!
JESUS: I hope you left instructions on how to hold your church together.
JOSEPH SMITH: Dang! I knew there was SOMETHING I was forgetting!
JESUS: Looks like there's a power struggle going on down there.
JOSEPH SMITH: Yeah; there was always SOMEone who wanted the power that I held - especially over the LADIES - wink wink.
JESUS: No need to worry about that now; remember what my friend Matthew wrote down?
JOSEPH SMITH: This? At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven (Matthew 22:30)
JESUS: That's it.
JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.
JESUS: Nah - it was right.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh well; it was fun while it lasted. My buds will still get it on with the girls.
JESUS: Uh; I'm sorry; in just a few more years; your followers will cavein to the United States government and abandon the 'Eternal Covenant' that you came up with.
JOSEPH SMITH: ME!? YOU are the one that told me to do that!
JESUS: Sorry; but you must have mistranslated what I told you. What part of Do NOT commit ADULTERY did you not understand?
JOSEPH SMITH: mumble....
JESUS: What did you say?
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, nothing.
JESUS: Well; it was interesting talking to you; but now I must get back to perparing a place for those who believe in Me.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, yeah; the Celestial Kingdom.
JESUS: No...
JOSEPH SMITH: The Telestial one?
JESUS: Nope.
JOSEPH SMITH: SUREly not the TERRESTRIAL one!!
JESUS: Nope. Didn't you read that the mind of man had NOT conceived of it? Paul wrote it down in 1 Corinthians 2:9.
JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.
JESUS: No; it wasn't.
JOSEPH SMITH: You SURE?
JESUS: Yes. Now I must be going: what did you say your name was again?
JOSEPH SMITH: Joseph Smith.
JESUS: Hmmmm. According to my Heavenly FAITHbook, you didn't sign in as one of my friends - sorry, I never knew you.
JOSEPH SMITH: But....

Well it was the typical response when they don't want to face the facts....or don't know what to say...play the victim...also another defense commonly used by cults and/or their adhereants... Rather than offer something to discuss or debate to clarify themselves.

Okay, 75 % X 8 hour workday = 6.0 hours X 60 minutes = 360 minutes will be spent of every workday of his/her life working on Plantation France, on scenic Bastille Avenue.
BTW, that only leaves 120 minutes per work day for non-Feudal Activity.
It seems that France has returned to Feudalism, a 360 degree turn to the left - - - .
Maybe these really "are the best of times, and the worst of times?"
Surely the new French President is not nicknamed "Robes Pierre?"
So indeed the church leadership and Romney will be steering this country in such as way as to position their political agenda favorably.
Oh my gosh..you crack me up!..LoL....
...you sound like my brother...he's a math/science genius with a similar humor....and like you, he 'splains' so us feeble minded ones can understand...LOL.
It's been said the people of France will be in the streets protesting within 6 months....if Bambi wins we'll be looking just like them...Heck if Romney wins likewise!
If it isn't it will be a lonely place, but if only the
selfrighteous are there, then, who wants do go? (A little play on Larry Gatlin there.)
Don't you end up going the same way?
...the presidential campaign of Mormon Church founder Joseph Smith in 1844: Challenging Democrat James Polk and Whig Henry Clay, Smith prophesied that if the U.S. Congress did not accede to his demands that they shall be broken up as a government and God shall damn them.
Smith viewed capturing the presidency as part of the mission of the church.
I clicked on YOUR picture, but nothing happened!?
" - - - Don't you end up going the same way?"
Thanks for making my point.
(What ever you do, do NOT tell the French that they have made a 360 degree turn to the Left back into Feudalism, as THEY think that they have "Done the Right Thing.")
BTW, here in The States, isn't a vote for Obama or Obamalite a "turn to the Left" also?
I've noticed that too. Why is that? I don't understand why people are like that? I want the truth, the full truth and then I'll make my choice. I just don't understand why people don't want to know the truth?
What you have posted about Mormons and the Bible is true, IMO, but on my thread has been thread hijacking and is misguided in the context of this election, IMO.
BTW, a cousin of mine who was a contemporary of Joseph Smith was one of the very first Twelve Apostles of Joseph Smith...but was excommunicated after Smith prophesied that all of the original twelve would always affirm Smith's delusions.
This cousin publicly denounced Smith as a fraud after one of his bank Ponzi schemes collapsed, a scheme claimed to have verified as a good investment by God to Smith. The cousin lost his money and actually fired a gun into the ceiling of a Mormon gathering to emphasize his displeasure and try to motivate return of his money by Smith and his remaining followers (no luck there for the cousin).
Barry's idol from the early 1800's, Karl Marx, had plans for socialist world government that are now are a far bigger threat because a believer in that totalitarian ideology IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE TODAY! Barry will be virtually unconstrained, and will be "much more flexible" on a whole range of US Republic-destroying executive actions is reelected.
It won't be until January 2017 at the earliest that Romney would be similarly unconstrained by the need to get reelected and could attempt to throw of his conservative guise to impose some kind of Mormon subversion of the US gov't, IMO. Prior to January 2017 I expect Romney, the man with no core, to aggressively pretend to be conservative to avoid the fate of Lugar or loss of NC and VA if he ever attempted to flip on gay marriage or abortion.
Sure, Romney will infiltrate numerous Mormon minions into the federal government than are already there, but right now, Barry's Marxist Czar minions are his ACTUAL SHADOW CABINET and are destroying this country TODAY. Note that just yesterday, the RCP average of polls flipped strongly in Romney's favor for the first time and the world economy appears to be rolling over dragged down by Obama-like policies in the EU, which the French have just doubled down on. The claim that shameless chameleon Romney "can't win" is becoming less credible daily when he is up against shameless chameleon ineligible Marxist Manchurian Obama.
The need to have Free Republic equipped with the best servers for the crucial defeat of Obama in November and to amplify the many coming revelations about both Obama and Romney as they are vetted (finally) is why I encourage all FReepers, whether ABO or FUMR, to DONATE to the current FReepathon!
Avoidence written smally.
Are we REALLY prepared for a RON paul presidency?
The way things are going, neither Mitt or Obama will get any votes!!
Thanks for the lecture, someone's mom!
Meanwhile shameless covert Marxist traitor Barry now admits that he has been lying for years and has given in to homosexual blackmail on the issue.
I was just listening to Wolf Blitzer while surfing during my medical lie-down and Blitzer said Barry can kiss NC, VA and OH goodbye! This means he expects Romney to pick up those electoral votes. If Romney wants to get reelected unopposed he won't dare to backslide of this position or abortion.
So no remote prospect of Ron Paul getting the GOP nomination even a single electoral vote if he ran as an independent.
I was thinking REPUBLICAN!!!
He seems to be the only one will the gonads to stay to the end!
I'd bet that HE doesn't rollover, get a belly rub, kiss the apparently Annointed One's ring and beg for a job in the MORMON White House!
You may be right; but...
...he sure AIN'T Obama and he ain't ROMNEY, either!

S290 (Noyes 31256)
Gordon Wrubel: Even when looking at the great photos above, the differences between the 1812 Small Date and Large Date cents may not be readily apparent. Yes the numerals in the Small Date are of a smaller size than the Large Date. But when you are looking at a lone, unattributed 1812 cent with no photos or comparison pieces at hand, there is a simple way to tell which one you have. Just look at the 8 in the date. The 8 punch used on the Small Date variety has an opening in the bottom loop that is about twice the size of the opening in the top loop. On the Large Date variety, the 8 punch used has large openings that are about the same size.

Dear editor:
As I am frequently in Washington, D.C. my travel there has uniquely positioned me to observe the "inside the Beltway" response to the recent and all too brief government shutdown number 18 (17 pre-Tea Party shutdowns).
No one cared. Nothing changed.
To the very few "essential" civil servants, Mr. Obama directed via memo: 1) make it hard for the public and 2) report (embellish) negative consequences of the shutdown. He tried to shut down Mt. Vernon, which has never been publicly owned (like he though America was made up of 57 states, e.g., students in Muslim countries don't study American history).
Our friends in Europe have also weighed in. About 80%, I am privately told, are shocked that Obama is empowering NSA to gather information on private citizens, seems intent on bankrupting the country (which affects them), gutting the military (which terrifies them), and cannot understand why WE haven't stopped him; not THEM but HIM.
Who is this "we"? To you folks who did not vote last election, you actually did not vote by default by letting others determine (by proxy, falsely reported write-ins, Black Panther escort and voter miscount) who the next group of leaders should be. You may not have voted, but plenty of dead people did.
"The fact that we are here today,… is a sign of leadership failure. America has a debt problem…a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I, therefore, intent to oppose the effort to increase America's debt." Yep. Obama once said that, a lie to get elected.
Without the paperweight of the press, the validated strength of progressive is: The Million Muslim March, which brought out about 20 folks to the Mall, probably half professors, plus John Boehner's incompetence to lead .
Tea Party folks returned all the barricades the Park police erected, to the White House. Veterans, WE call the Greatest Generation but Obama calls the Greediest Generation, organized to march. Another march to end slavery is coming, the Right to Life. You probably won't hear much. The media, once devoted to reporting facts, now vomits Truth to lead the way Forward (er, was that Obama's slogan or Hitler's). Not even the Pope wants to discuss hard choices.
Next time, hold your nose if you have to, but vote. Once the country is bankrupt and follows the Forward way of progressive liberals/Marxists, it won't return. No fallen democracy or Republic ever returns. If we want our Republic to stand, forget the excuses and cacophony of politics. Stand-and vote.

The Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein Honors Program is an invaluable educational experience. Students engage with ideas, texts, and course material which come to constitute a lasting intellectual foundation and framework. Honors students may work in almost any field of their choosing or continue graduate research at the highest levels. While pursuing our curriculum they have special opportunities to benefit from many cultural activities in New York: important theater productions on Broadway and elsewhere , concerts at the most important musical venues, visits to the top art and historical museums of New York, and special lectures by visiting scholars and artists. They also have the opportunity to participate in special honors summer courses taking place overseas in which they move forward in their programs and general education while getting to know interesting places and cultures from all around the world.
In the first year of the program, honors students participate in specially designated sections of the required courses that all Yeshiva College students take during the first year to satisfy their writing requirements, First Year Writing Honors (FYWH), and First Year Seminar Honors (FYSM). In those freshman Honors sections, students are expected to develop intellectual sophistication through intensive writing, research, and analysis.
Besides the first year writing courses, students choose at least six additional honors electives from a variety of academic disciplines. These courses may be in their specific majors or minors, courses with which they satisfy general education requirements of the college, or elective courses to expand their interests.
Most students who are part of the program are supported by generous merit scholarships. Those scholarships last for as many years as students are enrolled and remain in good standing in the program. In order to do so, students need to maintain an average GPA of 3.4 or higher, and take at least TWO honors courses in each academic year (our summer honors courses may be included among those courses). Simultaneously, each student must maintain a comparable level of excellence in Judaic studies.
The culmination of the honors program is a senior honors thesis, in which a student, over the course of several semesters develops an independent research project and works directly with a faculty mentor. Details about the thesis project's scope, procedures, etc, may be found here. Honors theses explore a broad range of topics in the sciences, humanities, social sciences, Judaic studies and the arts, and in recent years, several have been devoted to creative writing and musical performance. It is not uncommon for students to present the fruits of their research at both academic conferences and in published form in respected scholarly journals.
Overall, students must spend at least three full years and complete at least 108 credits in residence.
Recommendations written for an honors student from administrators and faculty members are virtually guaranteed to be exceptionally strong, and the student's diploma specifically confirms his graduation both from the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein Honors Program and Yeshiva College.

CNN's Screening Room have put together a list of their top ten music moments in film – it's not a list of great soundtracks, just those "quintessential movie moments where a song flawlessly complements or enhances the action".
Steppenwolf's Born To Be Wild bags the top spot for the opening sequence to Easy Rider, while Stealers Wheel's Stuck In The Middle With You comes in at number two for the ear-slicing moment in Reservoir Dogs. For many, this song is synonymous with that act of violence and, of course, Mr. Blonde's little dance that precedes it. Here's the full top ten…
10) Trainspotting (1996) – Lust For Life, Iggy Pop
The scene: Choose Life voiceover
9) Dr Strangelove (1964) – We'll meet again, Vera Lynn
The scene: Nuclear apocalypse
8) The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) – Needle In The Hay, Elliot Smith
The scene: Richie Tenenbaum attempts suicide
7) Say Anything (1989) – In Your Eyes, Peter Gabriel
The scene: Lloyd tries to woo Diane
6) Almost Famous (2000) – Tiny Dancer, Elton John
The scene: On the tour bus the band sing along to Tiny Dancer
5) Muriel's Wedding (1995) – Waterloo, ABBA
The scene: Muriel and Rhonda triumph at a talent contest
4) Apocalypse Now (1979) – The End, The Doors
The scene: Captain Willard waiting for an assignment in Saigon
3) Goodfellas (1990) – Layla, Eric Clapton
The scene: Jimmy's murder spree montage
2) Reservoir Dogs (1992) – Stuck In The Middle With You, Stealers Wheel
The scene: Mr. Blonde cut's a man's ear off
1) Easy Rider (1969) – Born To Be Wild, Steppenwolf
The scene: The opening sequence
It's an interesting list, but does it just prove that a classic tune could make any movie sequence memorable?

You probably hear a lot about God's sanctifying work in your life through His Word. But what does that process look like? How do you know if the living truth of Scripture is actually at work in your life? How do you know that God's Word has actually taken root in your life?
To help you understand your own spiritual growth and how God's Word works in your life, I want to highlight the key steps in the process of sanctification with three simple words.
The first is cognition. God's pattern for spiritual growth starts with understanding what the Bible says and what it means. The meaning of the Scripture is the Scripture—if you don't know what it means, you don't have the truth. So the process of spiritual growth starts with understanding what the Bible says.
Many years ago as a child, the importance of knowing and understanding God's Word was impressed upon me. I began to read my Bible repetitiously—day after day, over and over. The further I went, the more connections I was able to draw from book to book. After a few years, I was overwhelmed with the understanding that the Bible is its own interpreter. And you can see that conviction borne out in my teaching to this day.
True sanctification begins with renewing your mind. You must know the truth, plain and simple. There's no premium on ignorance in sanctification. You're not going to get there through some emotional or mystical experience. Spiritual growth won't happen by osmosis—it requires the discipline of constantly putting God's truth in your mind.
Don't confuse childlike faith with childish thinking. There are no shortcuts in sanctification—a lack of biblical knowledge will always retard your spiritual growth. Apart from the truth of Scripture, there simply is no mechanism to restrain your sinful flesh. Legalism can't do it. Pragmatism can't either. The same goes for mysticism and sacramentalism. The only certain method for true spiritual growth starts with absorbing God's eternal truth.
Cognition leads to a second step: conviction. As you grow in your understanding of the Bible, you begin to develop convictions out of that understanding. Those convictions or beliefs determine how you live, or at least how you endeavor to live. As God's truth takes over your mind, it produces principles that you do not desire to violate. That's sanctification—it's the transformation of your heart and your will that compels you to obey God's Word.
In 2 Corinthians 4, Paul talks about the persecution and threats he faced on a daily basis. Every day presented a new danger to him, a new plot to silence his preaching, and a new threat to his life. In verse 11 he says he and his companions were "constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus' sake." There was never a time when he wasn't in danger for preaching God's truth.
Why would he live a life that invited that kind of persecution? He tells us in 2 Corinthians 4:13-14.
But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I believed, therefore I spoke," we also believe, therefore we also speak, knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you.
But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I believed, therefore I spoke," we also believe, therefore we also speak, knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you.
"I believed, therefore I spoke." As far as Paul was concerned, he didn't have any other options. His belief in the Lord compelled him to preach the truth, in spite of the dangers he faced. That's conviction.
John Bunyan spent twelve years in jail, but it wasn't the stone and the steel that held him there. He could have gone free if he simply agreed to stop preaching. Instead, he wrote,
"If nothing will do, unless I make of my conscience a continual butchery and slaughter-shop, unless putting out my own eyes I commit me to the blind to lead me, I have determined, the Almighty God being my help and shield, yet to suffer, if frail life might continue so long, even till the moss shall grow on mine eye-brows rather than thus to violate my faith and principles."1John Bunyan, The Whole Works of John Bunyan, 3 vols. (London, Blackie and Son, 1862), 2:594.
His convictions wouldn't allow him to compromise, no matter the cost.
When you read the Bible, you're not just trying to know it academically. You're studying the Word of God to develop a set of convictions that rule your life, inform your conscience, and guide you toward greater Christlikeness.
Biblical truth is established in your mind through cognition—that same truth guides your life through conviction.
The third step in the biblical process of sanctification is affection. Throughout Scripture we see over and over that God's people truly love His truth. As David says in Psalm 19, the Word of God is "more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb." Take some time in the next few days and read through Psalm 119, keeping track of all the times David says he loves and delights in the Law of the Lord. Loving God's Word is an inescapable theme throughout the psalms, and it's an attitude that will be reflected in the process of our sanctification.
If you're truly growing spiritually, you don't read the Bible as mere education. You don't read it as a curiosity meant simply for intellectual stimulation. You don't study it just to win an argument. You don't approach it casually or carelessly, and you don't flippantly disregard its truth.
If you're truly growing, you come to Scripture eager for the spiritual nourishment it alone provides. Just as Peter wrote, "Like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow" (1 Peter 2:2). Your affection and hunger for God's truth will be insatiable, and nothing will keep you from it.
But you won't truly love God's Word if it's not already shaping the way you live. And it can't shape the way you live if you don't know it. That's why any methods or patterns for spiritual growth that don't start with the study of God's truth cannot lead you to true sanctification.

John, this was a joy to read! Edified and encouraged me to want to read and study my Bible more consistently. My wife and I have been reading through the Pauline Epistles lately. We have been amazed at God's love coming to the saints through Paul's ministry to the various churches he was called to plant and help. One thing that stands out is the recurring theme of Paul's thankfulness to God for the saints (Rom. 1:8; Phil 1:3, 1 Cor 1:4, Col. 1:3, I The. 1:2). When you start to piece this truth together and then think about the difficulties Paul experienced with many of the saints (especially the ones at Corinth) we can start to see how powerful God's work is in *continuously* sanctifying us over the years ... even to the point where we find ourselves thanking God for all the believers around us; the faithful, the fainthearted, the weak and even the unruly as difficult as that may be sometimes. We have a long way to go ... i.e., being more like our great God who graciously works in us (Phil 2:12) ... to continue to grow in our cognition of, convictions in and affections towards our wonderful and great Savior and Lord Jesus Christ! Thanks for sharing these truths. May God bless your ministry to His glory and your joy as you continue to serve Him.

Loved it. Thanks, Dr. MacArthur!
The term "Biblical Sanctification" is better understood as the Sancitifcation taught in the Bible or Sanctification caused by the Bible? The former emphasizes on the source of our understanding about sanctification and the latter emphasizes on the means of sanctification. I think the definition should be the former, but since the word of God, the Bible is the only means for our sanctification, the latter can also be true in certain context. Is it right to think this way? Thanks.
