Q&A Seventh-Day Adventism
This entry was posted on November 12, 2013.
Q - I am dealing with a dear lady steeped in the Seventh-Day Adventist beliefs. To say that there are several odd aspects is an understatement! I would appreciate any info you have or any recommendations of reliable places to look. Thank you!
A - The following has been written by Keith and Lori MacGregor, experts on Seventh-Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons.(http://mmoutreachinc.com)
Who is their God? Where is he?
by Keith and Lori MacGregor
Questions to Raise with Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons & SDAs.
For those of us dealing with Jehovah's Witnesses (JW's) and other cultists, we are always trying to find little nuggets of ideas to help the cultist think outside of his Watchtower or Mormon box. Even Christian believers may find this useful when talking to unsaved people. As humans we all think and reason and base all our understandings on what we see, hear and feel. With our language we form ideas in our minds and of those around us by our human descriptions of "things".
For example:
From pictures in Watchtower publications and by others and even from the Bible itself we are presented with illustrated and mental illustrations of "God" on a throne. Our minds can easily form the idea that God has a physical body of some kind and is sitting on a physical human like throne.
This is very common among believers and non believers and is continually reinforced by our language. Paintings and statutes, etc. from the earliest times have presented this image as well. We humans all think and reason from within the confines of "time, space and matter". We have no other reference points to think from. Everything we as humans do is controlled by these three limitations. Beyond this we know nothing but at the same time are aware there has to be something beyond our dimension in order to explain "creation" and the world around us.
Reading JW and Mormon publications, we can see how they have defined where their gods live, on or near the star system Pleiades or for Mormons on a star base near the planet Kolob. Notice how they have limited their Gods' habitat to a time, physical and material place within space.
From C.T. Russell's concept, the foundation of the Society's theology was laid. Obviously Russell's view of "God" is revealed in his statements of the location of God's throne in the star system Pleiades, this therefore puts his view of heaven only within man's world of time, space and matter. Russell's view reveals his error and it does not allow for God's omnipotence, omniscient and omnipresence.
One can see this showing through in their current thinking when they ask questions about God sitting on a physical throne in a human like manner with Jesus, a created being, sitting as a personage beside Him. Whereas the Christian and biblical view is that God, or our Creator, is beyond this dimension that we live in. At a point in time He revealed Himself to us by taking on the nature of man and dwelling among us.
Two or more Gods. NO! Only one God who at a point in time stepped into our "time, space & matter" dimension and revealed Himself to man as the Son (Jesus).
As humans we cannot conceive the totality of God in our human minds. However He made a way for us to understand Him. By taking on a human form, and being made in the likeness of man, He showed humans how to relate to our Creator. Phil.2:5-11
"For in Him (Christ) was ALL the FULLNESS of the Godhead in the flesh." Jesus, truly God and truly man. Col. 2:8-9
Now as we look into the scriptures about the nature of God and His revelations to us we find something very revealing. He is omnipotent. All powerful, can do anything He wants, creates matter out of nothing, and sets the seasons and "time" all within space. He is also omnipresent, all knowing and be anywhere and all places at the same time. He is spirit, something we humans have no concept of, or experience with, and can not explain.
In other words, God is beyond our human mind limitations of "time, space and matter".
For those who can not comprehend the "nature, trinity" or tri-unity of God as laid out in scripture, go over these points with them. Then ask:
If God is "omnipotent" (can do anything He wants), is the creator of all, and is beyond our time space and matter restraints, would it be possible or impossible for Him if He so chose to enter our dimension, taking on the nature of man and reveal Himself to us?
Notice also the tri-unity in the points above.... the dimension we live in... time, space and matter. All three make up the godhead, the "Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit." We as humans are, according to scripture, "body, soul, and spirit" and it takes all 3 to make a complete "man".
Now notice in the quotes following how the "god" of the JW's and the gods of Mormons are limited to the same confines as man. Time, space and matter.
The WT god is NOT the God of the Bible. Also note below how they found this out.......
Here is what they said from their own publications ...............
Pleiades - Jehovah's Throne
From 1881 until 1953 the Watchtower believed that Jehovah resided at the centre of the universe on the star Alcyone in the cluster known as Pleiades. And they knew this because the Great Pyramid in Egypt pointed this out.
In the 50's the Watchtower did a flip flop and told its followers that it is "useless to indulge in unprofitable speculations" such as the ones it was making back in the 20's. As usual the Watchtower used the well tried method of distancing itself from embarrassing flip flops by dismissing their earlier teachings by having it appear as a question from one of the rank and file witnesses. This way it appears to the reader that it is the congregational member's fault for believing such nonsense.
Below you will find what the Watchtower was saying about Alcyone.
The Watchtower November 1 1920
Some one asked me the other day: Suppose you should be here in 1925 what would you do? I said, I believe I will be home in the Pleiades before then ..Emphasis Added
Reconciliation 1928 p14
The constellation of the seven stars forming the Pleiades appears to
be the crowning centre around which the known systems of the planets
revolve even as our sun's planets obey the sun and travel in their
respective orbits. It has been suggested, and with much weight, that
one of the stars of that group is the dwelling-place of Jehovah and
the place of the highest heavens;..
The constellation of the Pleiades is a small one compared with others
which scientific instruments disclose to the wondering eyes of man.
But the greatness in size of other stars or planets is small when
compared with the Pleiades in importance, because the Pleiades is the
place of the eternal throne of God [Emphases added]
Thy Kingdom Come (SIS vol III) 1891 (1903 edition) p. 327
And if we go back to the date which the Pyramid gives itself, and look for what that finger pointed to at midnight, we find a far sublimer indication. Science has at last discovered that the sun is not a dead centre, with planets wheeling about it, and itself stationary. It is now ascertained that the sun also is in motion, carrying with it its splendid retinue of comets, planets, its satellites and theirs, around some other and vastly mightier centre. Astronomers are not yet fully agreed as to what or where that centre is.
Some, however, believe that they have found the direction of it to be the Pleiades, and particularly Alcyone, the central one of the renowned Pleiadic stars. To the distinguished German astronomer, Prof. J. H. Maedler, belongs the honor of having made this discovery. Alcyone, then, as far as science has been able to perceive, would seem to be the 'midnight throne' in which the whole system of gravitation has its central seat, and from which the Almighty governs his universe. And here is the wonderful corresponding fact, that at the date of the Great Pyramid's building, at midnight of the autumnal equinox, and hence the true beginning of the year* as still preserved in the traditions of many nations, the Pleiades were distributed over the meridian of this Pyramid, with Alcyone precisely on the line. [Emphasis Added]
Watchtower 1953 November 15 p.703 Questions from Readers
What is meant by 'binding the sweet influences of the Pleiades' or 'loosing the bands of Orion' or 'bringing forth Mazzaroth in his seasons' or 'guiding Arcturus with his sons,' as mentioned at Job 38:31, 32?-W. S., New York.
Some attribute striking qualities to these constellations or star groups and on the basis of such they then offer private interpretations of Job 38:31, 32 that amaze their hearers. Their views are not always sound from the standpoint of astronomy, and when viewed Scripturally they are completely without foundation. Why? Because we do not know which stars or groups of stars are being referred to in these verses. The names Pleiades, Orion and Arcturus are not the names given in the Bible. Some translations make Mazzaroth refer to the signs of the Zodiac. English translators have merely adopted these pagan names given to constellations or star groups and have inserted them in their translations in the place of the original names that appear in the Hebrew Scriptures, namely, Kimah, Kesil, Mazzaroth and 'Ayish. To just what stars or star groups these names refer we do not know today. Hence it is useless to indulge in unprofitable speculations. Incidentally, Pleiades can no longer be considered the centre of the universe and it would be unwise for us to try to fix God's throne as being at a particular spot in the universe. Were we to think of the Pleiades as his throne we might improperly view with special veneration that cluster of stars.-Deut. 4:19; 2 Chron. 2:6; 6:18.

Apostle Orson Pratt said that Mormon men and their wives should have endless sex to reproduce and organize their own world to be worshipped as gods and goddesses eternally. Deified Polygamists
Mankind are here because they are the offspring of parents [Adam and Eve] who were first brought here from another PLANET, and power was given them to propagate their species.
Author: Brigham Young Source: Journal Of Discourses Volume: 7 Chapter: 1 Page: 286
Orson Hyde said that God was once a mortal child and progressed the same as we do until finally becoming a god himself. God was a Man?
Who can tell us of the inhabitants of this little planet that shines of an evening, called the moon?... when you inquire about the inhabitants of that sphere you find that the most learned are as ignorant in regard to them as the ignorant of their fellows. So it is in regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain.

Mormon song about Kolob http://www.mazeministry.com/mormonism/kolob/hie.htm
E.G. White and the SDA's.
Who is Jesus? The Bible tells us that Jesus is God. SDAs teach that Jesus is God--but he's also Michael.
Where is Jesus? The Bible tells us that Jesus is seated at the right hand of God. But--to cover another embarrassing failed prediction of Jesus' return--SDAs teach that Jesus entered the Most Holy Place of the heavenly sanctuary for the 1st time in 1844. Prior to that He was in the Holy Place.
At SDA "Revelation Seminars," the evangelist lets it be known that he welcomes questions. However, the questions must be written out & handed in, supposedly so the program won't be interrupted. Later in the program, the questions are answered. But I believe the evangelist answers his own made-up questions to "prove" points he wants to make.
Mother Ellen saw Enoch on Jupiter or Saturn
The Bible says that Enoch was taken up to heaven. God is in heaven, so He must be on Jupiter or Saturn.
" The Lord has given me views of other worlds, wings were given to me, and an angel attended me from the city to a place that was bright and glorious.
The grass of the place was living green, and the birds there warbled a sweet song. The inhabitants of the place were of all sizes and they were nobel, majestic and lovely.....I asked one of them why they were so much lovely then those on earth..... Then I was taken to a world that had seven moons. There I saw good old Enoch, who had been translated. (Early Writings, pp 39-40.)
Ellen's husband, James White, verified her vision. He wrote "At our conference in Topsham, Main, last November., Ellen had a vision of the handiwork's of God. She was guided to the Planets Jupiter,Saturn and I think one more. After she came out of the vision , she could give a clear description of their moons etc. It is well known, that she knew nothing of astronomy, and could not answer one question in relation to the planets, before she had this vision. (A Word to the "Little Flock" p 22.)
A scriptural warning... Deu 18:20
But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
Deu 18:21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken.
Deu 18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
I have a booklet titled, Inspired (?) Astronomy of the Seventh-day Adventists," by E. E. Frankee. He uses the quote from EGW in vision and Bates comments Truesdail account and Loughborough who was not present at the vision, wrote in his book in 1892, "Rise and Progress of the Seventh-day Adventists" the vision account. I believe that Frankee's challenge prompted Nichol's response in, "Ellen G. White and Her Critics," by Francis D. Nichol. Read his defense of Ellen. Page 91, chapter "The Astronomy Vision."
Nichol does and excellent job defending Ellen. His defense is Ellen did not identify by name any planet that she saw in vision. It was the others that gave names to the planets, that Saturn had seven moons. Ellen says only a "world with seven moons".
Ellen's first astronomy vision was November, 1846 in Topsham ME "Spiritual Gifts" vol. 2, p. 83. In this vision she saw only planets, she gave no names to them. James referred to this vision in A Word to the Little flock," p. 22. Saying "she was guided to the planets, Jupiter, Saturn, and I think one more." Nichol claims James was let to believe Bates' identification of the planet.
Her next astronomy vision was in January 31, 1849, first published, Broadside To those who are receiving the seal of the living God. See also, "Early Writings" pp. 39,40. Here she was "taken to a world with seven moons and saw good old Enoch." Shouldn't Enoch be young instead of old?
My argument would be with James White's testimony of his identifying the planets with names. Why did not God correct him through Ellen's visions instead of letting him spout off errors? Like God corrected Peter's wrong view of the Gentiles. Ellen was always claiming God gave her visions to correct errors. Or why did Ellen not correct James herself and say, James God did not give me the names of the planets? But she allowed James to print out his errors if they are errors over the paper A Word to the Little flock," they supposed to have knelt down and held before them and prayed over them to God before sending it out. To me this would be a powerful testimony to the false visions of EGW.
"Sister White was in very feeble health, and while prayers were offered in her behalf, the Spirit of God rested upon us. We soon noticed that she was insensible to earthly things. This was her first view of the planetary world. After counting aloud the moons of Jupiter, and soon after those of Saturn, she gave a beautiful description of the rings of the latter. She then said, 'The inhabitants are a tall, majestic people, so unlike the inhabitants of earth. Sin has never entered here.' "
(Taken from Mrs. Truesdail's letter, Jan 27, 1891)
In a book written by J. N. Loughborough at a time when he believed Mrs. White to be a Prophet (The Great Second Advent Movement) page 260...
Again we quote Mrs. Truesdale, who was present on the occasion of the giving of the vision referred to.
She says:
...After counting aloud the moons of Jupiter, and soon after those of Saturn, she gave a beautiful description of the rings of the later. She then said that the inhabitants of Saturn "are a tall, majestic people, so unlike the inhabitants of Earth".
This footnote is important for two reasons. First, it shows how Mrs. White's visions were later altered by others. Second, it shows that the pioneers believed this vision applied to Jupiter and Saturn.
The Scientific Facts
(The Concise Columbia Encyclopedia,
Copyright © 1995 by Columbia University Press. All rights reserved.)
1) "Jupiter has 16 known natural satellites, 12 of which are of small diameter. The four larger Galilean satellites were discovered by Galileo in 1610. ...Amalthea, a small, elongated satellite interior to Io's orbit that was discovered (1892) by Edward Barnar."
2) "Saturn also has at least 18 natural satellites. "
3) "Prior to 1986, Uranus was known to have five natural satellites: Titania, the largest, with a diameter of 650 mi, and Oberon were discovered by Herschel in 1787; Ariel and Umbriel, by William Lassell in 1851; and Miranda, by Gerard Kuiper in 1948. In 1977 astronomers detected a system of narrow rings of small, dark particles orbiting around the planet. When the Voyager 2 space probe flew by Uranus in 1986, it discovered ten more moons and confirmed the existence of ten rings."
A "Clear Description" of the Moons?
Mrs. White got close enough to Jupiter and/or Saturn to see the "tall, majestic people" living there, but she somehow failed to see the following:
• At least 12 of Jupiter's moons
• At least 11 of Saturn's moons
• At least 9 of Uranus' moons
• The rings around Jupiter
• The rings around Uranus
Why did she see only what astronomers had already seen?
When Mrs. White had her "vision" it was common knowledge that Jupiter had four moons. The fifth was not discovered until 1892. We now know there are at least 16 moons. At that time it was thought that Saturn had seven moons. We now know there are at least 18. Mrs. White's vision did not reveal anything that could not have been obtained from an Astronomy book or even from a newspaper article! The only difference between what Mrs. White saw and what the astronomers saw through their telescopes is those "tall, majestic people"!
Incredible Missed Opportunities
Imagine if Mrs. White had told Bates that Jupiter had four large moons and 12 smaller moons! Her prophetic gift would have been proven beyond doubt to all future generations. Unfortunately, she missed this great opportunity.
Imagine if Mrs. White had announced that Jupiter had rings! This amazing fact was not discovered until the Voyager space probes visited Jupiter in 1979 (as shown by the photo to the right). Such an announcement would certainly have validated her claims. Unfortunately, although she got close enough to see those tall people on the planet, she failed to see the rings.
After considering what she did see and what she failed to see, we ask you this question: Was this a vision from God or a hallucination?
What was the REAL purpose of the vision?
In early 1846 the Whites were in trouble. They were poor and destitute. Many viewed Ellen White's visions with skepticism. What they needed more than anything was a wealthy, influential friend who believed as they did. Fortunately for the Whites, they were able to locate just such a man--Joseph Bates. In the spring of 1846 the Whites met this retired sea captain. There was one major problem, however. Although Bates was advanced in age, his mind was still sharp enough to doubt Mrs. White's visions. The Whites tried to win him over, but had little success. But in November, all of that changed. At a small meeting with Bates and a few other diehard believers, Mrs. White had a special vision on astronomy, which just so happened to be Joseph Bates' favorite subject. What a coincidence!
As Ellen went into vision, the elderly Bates was no doubt enthralled watching the 19-year-old woman make motions as if she was flying through space. As Bates listened, Ellen described various details of the Solar System and the so-called gap in Orion. Bates had observed the gap many years earlier while on board a ship in the southern hemisphere. Orion was then a topic of great interest because of the recent telescopic observations of William Parsons, the third earl of Rosse. Just months earlier Bates had published a tract, "The Opening Heavens," relating Rosse's discoveries, but Ellen assured Bates she had no prior knowledge of astronomy.
Mrs. Truesdail, also present at the "vision", reports it had the desired effect on Bates:
"It was evident from Brother Bates's smiling face that his past doubts in regard to the source of her visions were fast leaving him. We all knew that Captain Bates was a great lover of astronomy, as he would often locate many of the heavenly bodies for our instruction. When Sister White replied to his questions, after the vision, saying that she had never studied or otherwise received knowledge in this direction, he was filled with joy and happiness. He praised God, and expressed his belief that this vision concerning the planets was given that he might never again doubt." (Truesdail letter, 1891)
Yes, everyone, including the Whites, knew Bates was fond of Astronomy. What a fortunate coincidence that Mrs. White's only recorded vision of the solar system took place while the skeptical Bates was in attendance. From that time forward, Bates was a believer. He no doubt looked forward to that day in glory, when he would be able to travel to Jupiter to meet those "tall, majestic people."

Tessa and Scott were flying!!! Much much better than at Skate Canada.
Tessa and Scott were flying!!! Much much better than at Skate Canada.
Tessa and Scott had a better outing this time around than Skate Canada- at least in terms of how it came across. Though that lift was still a little scary as she twists onto his shoulder but at least they didn't attempt to do anymore position shifts once she got up there because I don't think they could handle it.
What a shame about the Shibs...
Also, did anyone notice how huge Tessa and Scott's lobe was in the second pattern of the YP? They almost reached the barriers on the other side of the rink!
Hmmm technical elements still low though for V/M.
I think they need to go back to the drawing board on this one- can they do it by Nationals? They had such a late start this year- doesn't look good.
V/M were so much better this time around. Good for them.
But I don't agree they should scrap it -- I think they could make it really good and we are forgetting this is their first competition of the season, period (I/K at least had the Crystal Skate to introduce their programs).... so with some time, I think they can make it great. I think it will be a good challenge for them.
V/M looked not that light, even forced. It might have resulted in the score, compared to D/W.
Thats ok. Similar to last year.
Protocols are up!
Sinitsina and Zhiganshin had the highest base tech
The protocols tell the tale. The Shibs only got a level 4 on their rotational lift. Even their trademark twizzles (not great here) only got a level 2. Judges really liked their step sequence though -- they got +1.43 despite it being a level 2. That tied with V/M's step sequence (also +1.43) for the element with the highest +GOE.
In fact, the judges, on the whole, liked the execution of the elements (though they can score better). But they definitely got marked down in levels and PCS, which makes sense given that it wasn't the best performance.

I hadn't planned on writing much, if anything, on the anniversary of
the murderous attacks of September 11, 2001, if only because that event
usually leaves me at loss for words. And what more can be said? It is an
occasion, first of all, to pray for those who were murdered and for all
those innocentborn and unborn, young and oldwho are victims of
violence and hatred each and every day.
But more can be said,
even if with hesitation and some trepidation. For this is also an
occasion to reflect and frankly consider our own mortality, the
fragility of the flickering light called life that we each possess as a
gift from God. What, then, is the point of it all? Why do we, as
individuals and families and communities, come into existence and for
what End were we created? Alas, those questions, unfortunately,
apparently assume too much in this day and age, for it is not a given
that those next to us in the workplace or in the schoolroom or on the
street also believe in a loving God who "in a plan of sheer goodness
freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life" (CCC, 1).
not so much that explicit forms of atheism have become increasingly
popular (although they have), but more that we in the West live as
practical atheists. When the rubber meets the road, it is on a secular
wheel and it is facilitating the rapid movement of a materialist car
driving towards a shimmering temporal goal, with little interest in
acknowledging the life to come and the Life from which we come. Sure, we
might give lip service to God, or some form of vague deity or life form
or higher power, but it is often mere lip service, not the
service of body, soul, and mind that finds completion in real worship.
"Secularism, I submit", wrote the great Orthodox theologian, Fr.
Alexander Schmemann, "is above all the negation of worship. I
stress:not of God's existence, not of some kind of transcendence and
therefore of some kind of religion. If secularism in theological terms
is a heresy, it is primarily a heresy about man. It is the negation of
man as a worshiping being..." (For the Life of the World, 1965).
What does this have to do with the anniversary of "9/11"? Quite a
bit. Actually, nearly everything. And I am quite certain that Pope
Benedict XVI, in giving his address at Regensberg
on September 12, 2006, was trying to get us to see fundamental
connections between how we understand God and how we understand our
place in this worldin other words, the relationship between faith and
reason, an essential theme of his pontificate. Benedict stated:
Violence is incompatible with the nature of God and the nature of
the soul. "God", he says, "is not pleased by blood - and not acting reasonably (σὺν
λόγω) is contrary to God's nature. Faith is born of the soul, not the body. Whoever
would lead someone to faith needs the ability to speak well and to reason
properly, without violence and threats... To convince a reasonable soul, one
does not need a strong arm, or weapons of any kind, or any other means of
threatening a person with death...".[4]
The decisive statement in this argument against violent conversion is this: not
to act in accordance with reason is contrary to God's nature
And, as we know, these remarks were soon followed by threats and acts
of violence by those who were anged that they had been unfairly deemed
prone to threats and acts of violence. But Benedict, in many ways, was
simply elucidating a point made by his predecessor, Blessed John Paul
II, who took on the question of reason and the nature of God in his
encyclical Veritatis splendor, presented almost twenty years ago, in August 1993. Writing about the fall of Adam, John Paul II stated:
The man is
certainly free, inasmuch as he can understand and accept God's commands. And he
possesses an extremely far-reaching freedom, since he can eat "of every
tree of the garden". But his freedom is not unlimited: it must halt before
the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil", for it is called to
accept the moral law given by God. In fact, human freedom finds its authentic
and complete fulfilment precisely in the acceptance of that law. God, who alone
is good, knows perfectly what is good for man, and by virtue of his very love
proposes this good to man in the commandments. (par 35)
God's goodness is not arbitrary; that is, God is good, and
so God cannot and will not, this coming week or next year, decree that
murder is now allowed, or that adultery is not a sin but a privilege
granted to enlightened moderns wanting to take a walk on the wild side.
As the late pontiff explained, this fact protects authentic freedom; it
provides the sure and unmoving boundaries of good thinking and good
actions. But he notes that some have posited a conflict "between freedom
and law":
doctrines would grant to individuals or social groups the right to determine
what is good or evil. Human freedom would thus be able to "create
values" and would enjoy a primacy over truth, to the point that truth
itself would be considered a creation of freedom. Freedom would thus lay claim
to a moral autonomy which would actually amount to an absolute
This autonomy is, ultimately, a-theistic, for it eventually
pushes God to the side, out the door, and off the cliff of memory. Man's
autonomy, torn from its moorings, becomes a tyranny. But tyranny cannot
long remain pure anarchy, so it seeks a source of authority, even one
claiming, however dubiously, to possess "objective" powers. The prime
candidate for such an authority within secular modernity (yes, that term
might be redundant), is science, or "science". Of this, Benedict said
the following at Regensberg:
But we
must say more: if science as a whole is this and this alone, then it is man
himself who ends up being reduced, for the specifically human questions about
our origin and destiny, the questions raised by religion and ethics, then have
no place within the purview of collective reason as defined by "science", so
understood, and must thus be relegated to the realm of the subjective. The
subject then decides, on the basis of his experiences, what he considers tenable
in matters of religion, and the subjective "conscience" becomes the sole arbiter
of what is ethical.
The West, in general, has embraced this "objective" subjectivity; we
can call it "scientism", but that is just the head of the monster, for
the real demon is rebellion against truth and the Author of truth. The
soothing, seductive words in the Garden are words now shouted from the
rooftops, rendered perfectly with special effects, and fired through
cyberspace countless times each day: "And you will be like God, knowing
good and evil" (Gen 3:5). This "knowing" is the act of false creation,
or, better, the sacrilege of depraved re-creation (and, yes,
recreation), the desire to make good into evil, and evil into good.
The flip side of this warped coin is what John Paul II calls "heteronomy". It comes from the two Greek terms for "other"
(heteros) and "law" (nomos).
It asserts that God is the Universal Law-Giver, but because God is
omnipotent and omniscient, he cannot allow man to really, truly posses
free will. The sovereign Creator's divine law is forced upon man, the
creature, who has no right or reason to complain about such an
arrangement. Man, for his part, is to simply hear and obey, period.
There is, for example, no need for commentary or explication or critical
studies of the Qur'an, for that text, Muslims believe, is direct from
God, full stop. Yes, Christians believe that the authors of the Old and
New Testaments were divinely inspired. Yet those authors did not simply
transcribe, but acted freely and in full cooperation with the divine
initiative: "To compose the sacred books, God chose certain men who, all
the while
he employed them in this task, made full use of their own faculties and
powers so that, though he acted in them and by them, it was as true
authors that they consigned to writing whatever he wanted written, and
no more." (Dei Verbum, 11). Islam is a heteronomous religion;
it posits that Allah is to be obeyed regardless of the directive, even
if it goes contrary to reason and the laws gained by reason, such as the
value and dignity of life, or the obvious evil of murder. John Paul II
explained how heteronomy is directly contrary to the Judeo-Christian
understanding of God, faith, and reason:
Hence obedience to God is not, as some would believe, a heteronomy,
as if the moral life were subject to the will of something all-powerful,
absolute, extraneous to man and intolerant of his freedom. If in fact a
heteronomy of morality were to mean a denial of man's self-determination or the
imposition of norms unrelated to his good, this would be in contradiction to
the Revelation of the Covenant and of the redemptive Incarnation. Such a heteronomy
would be nothing but a form of alienation, contrary to divine wisdom and to the
dignity of the human person. (VS, 41).
Autonomy, severing actions from objective truth and natural law,
tends toward destruction and murder, as evidenced by the millions of
unborn people who have been murdered over the past four decades in the
West. Heteronomy, having also severed morality from reason and natural
law, likewise tends logically toward destruction and murder, as the
events of eleven years ago demonstate. It may be that the murderers on
those planes were, individually, motivated by something less grand than a
faulty theological perspective. But that in no way severs the
connection, just as the varying levels of culpability of women who have
abortions does not affect the objectively evil nature of their actions.
Ideas have consquences; philosophy informs real life; theology guides
our deepest thoughts and actions, even if we cannot define (or spell!)
Without doubt, the mystery of evil cannot be easily explained, nor
should anyone attempt to do so with any sort of glibness. Evil is a
profound mystery precisely because it is located at the decisive point
of man's free rending of himself from his source, his life, his end. We
are creatures who, given free will, are able to participate in the
divine life of Godif we so choose. John Paul II wrote:
Others speak, and rightly so, of theonomy, or participated
theonomy, since man's free obedience to God's law effectively implies that
human reason and human will participate in God's wisdom and providence. By
forbidding man to "eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil", God makes it clear that man does not originally possess such
"knowledge" as something properly his own, but only participates in
it by the light of natural reason and of Divine Revelation, which manifest to
him the requirements and the promptings of eternal wisdom. Law must therefore
be considered an expression of divine wisdom: by submitting to the law, freedom
submits to the truth of creation. Consequently one must acknowledge in the
freedom of the human person the image and the nearness of God, who is present
in all (cf. Eph 4:6). But one must likewise acknowledge the majesty of
the God of the universe and revere the holiness of the law of God, who is
infinitely transcendent: Deus semper maior. (VS, 41)
Coming full circle, this is also a central point of Benedict's
address in Germany, although he used somewhat different language. He
spoke of "voluntarism", the belief, put simply, that God "could have
the opposite of everything he has actually done." That is, God is free
to call evil good, and good evil. This notion of a "capricious God, who
is not even bound to truth and goodness", is like the views held by many
Muslims. It does not mean that individual Muslims are more prone to
murder than, say, Christians, but it means they do not have a coherent
or logical reason to reject terrorism and murder as a viable option. "As
opposed to
this," said Benedict,
the faith of the Church has always insisted that between God and us,
between his eternal Creator Spirit and our created reason there exists a real
analogy, in which - as the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215 stated - unlikeness
remains infinitely greater than likeness, yet not to the point of abolishing
analogy and its language. God does not become more divine when we push him away
from us in a sheer, impenetrable voluntarism; rather, the truly divine God is
the God who has revealed himself as logos and, as logos, has acted
and continues to act lovingly on our behalf. Certainly, love, as Saint Paul
says, "transcends" knowledge and is thereby capable of perceiving more than
thought alone (cf. Eph 3:19); nonetheless it continues to be love of the
God who is Logos. Consequently, Christian worship is, again to quote Paul
- "λογικη λατρεία", worship in harmony with the eternal Word and with our reason (cf. Rom
The United States was founded on the belief in objective truth and
the fact men are creatures who are beholden to something and Someone
greater than themselvesnot irrationally, but in keeping with human
nature and the laws of nature: "We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and
the pursuit of Happiness." Most Americans continue to give lip service
to this notion. But many Americans have abandoned it when it comes to
real life, real worship, real being.
We are attacked
from within by our own capitulation to sin and destruction, disguised as
"rights" and "freedoms"; we have been attacked from without by those
who claim murder and destruction is the will of Allah. May all innocent
victims be granted God's mercy and grace; may all who are guilty receive
due justice and be offered true mercy; may all of us choose to
participate in the divine life of God, the God who is love, goodness,
and holiness, "the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or
shadow due to change" (James 1:17). To him is due all worship and glory
and honor.

A structural fix is something that you pay for up-front and which then continues to serve your life with zero or little in the way of ongoing maintenance costs.
Some examples, feel free to add more:
-If your computer is swapping (you hear the hard drive churning) during normal usage, get more RAM! Getting an SSD hard drive is also a good idea. Swapping out to disk is like sending a sailboat across the Atlantic to fetch your stuff, whereas RAM is like getting it from your pocket.
-Buy everything you can find that can optimize your sleep. Some ideas: blackout curtains for your sleeping quarters, Zeo device, supplements known to aid sleep (melatonin, zinc, stuff like that), Philips Golite, earthing mat, etc.
-Get a good digital scale with bodyfat measurements and all that jazz. Make a habit to enter it into a suitable tracking tool. Hacker's Diet is good for weight. Even better if it auto-tracks the data for you.
-Truecrypt is a security tool which can on-the-fly encrypt your entire hard drive. Instant security fix.
-Use RescueTime and similar applications to enforce less procrastination.
-Get a kettlebell for your bedroom, office, car, etc. They can be used for all kinds of spontaneous exercise. Which adds up over time. Other alternative: exercise bands.
-Make a list of your favorite healthy recipes and keep in your Dropbox. Helps a lot with diet adherence.
-Get a pedometer (foot step counter), or install a suitable app on your smartphone. Measuring this is likely to increase how much you walk during the day.
-Get a workout buddy. Increases show-up rate a LOT.
-Get several different gym cards, if you can afford it. If you don't feel like going to one of them, maybe you feel like going to another. One day you may want the hardcore powerlifter gym, the next day you need a more relaxed ambience. I personally have 1 gym membership, but use an a la carte approach, ie I go to different gyms and get a one-time ticket.
-If you can afford it, get a cleaning lady (or a Roomba).
-If you get an expensive haircut, take photos from all angles. A cheaper hairdresser may be able to replicate it later.
-Go see someone with a lot of anatomic knowledge (physio, Active Release Therapist, Rolfer, Graston practitioner, Feldenkrais, etc) and have your muscular imbalances corrected.
-Spotify Premium is well worth the money. Access to almost all music on all your devices. Saves a lot of time for me. Same with Netflix, Amazon Prime, Audible, and things like that.
-Whenever possible, get private tutors and coaching. You'll learn much much faster than on your own.
Fitbit + beeminder (fitbit to track steps, beeminder to ensure you walk enough)
I just got into beeminder. I'm geeky enough to see the potential benefits but I can't seem to wrap my brain around how it works. There isn't a lot of help on their website. I would love to figure it out. Any help?
I've been using it for over a year, and their support is super responsive. How can I help? You can see my beeminder - http://www.beeminder.com/jolly for inspiration. Figure out what you want to track, figure out your bare minimum for that goal, and enter it in!
I just don't get it. I think I'm using it wrong. For example, I want to set a goal of arriving to work an hour early at least 4 out of the 5 working days of the week. I want it to start immediately. So, if I come into work late tomorrow I want to be forced to come in to work an hour early for the rest of the week. If I miss even one day that week I want to be forced to cough up money.
When I set up a goal like that in beeminder, it seems like it allows me too much wiggle room.
Does any of this make sense?
Hi! Danny of Beeminder here. Do you mean that each day's datapoint is binary -- 1 if you succeeded in getting to work at least an hour early and 0 if you didn't? That works beautifully on Beeminder. If you want to be on the hook immediately (no safety buffer) there's an option to uncheck when you create the goal. There might still be *slightly* more play than you want, given the width of the yellow brick road and all, but once you're skating the edge of the road it should enforce exactly what you have in mind.
Definitely let us know -- firstname.lastname@example.com -- if it's not behaving as expected. That helps us a ton in figuring out how to make it less confusing for newcomers.
Already mentioned by Jolly, but I'd like to underline that Beeminder is a fabulous tool to drive improvement for anything that can be numerically quantified. It's a data nerd's dream. http://beeminder.com. The akrasia horizon and the penalty system are very well thought out.
- Punctuality. (Come early at least 5-10 minutes on every commitment, follow up on "let's have coffee sometime next week", and do things now when it comes to your mind rather than later)
In the hustle and bustle professional world, punctuality is a given when deals are negotiated, widgets are cranked, and shares are traded. Though not many people I know take that same urgency into a non-professional setting. This is a structural opportunity you can work on to stand out.
I get a lot of "we should get together some times" on Facebook and emails but honestly, most of those people just say it for the sake of saying it and don't follow up, This one of my pet peeve with people. Nowadays, when people say something like that, I would be specific and set up a solid time and actually meet. This scares off some people, but those are not the people I want to spend time around, as it says a lot about their personality. The ones who follow up stay in my life and are worth working with.
When you have a meeting with someone, always be the one to bring cookies/food/drinks/whatever.
This may be a Swedish-culture thing, though. Maybe it's more uncommon in the rest of the world to bring snacks to meetings?
It's quite hard to think up examples - what springs to mind is stuff like setting up good habits (exercise, eating, etc), which in truth require most of the effort to get started - however they do of course require ongoing maintenance.
One-time fixes with permanent effects are harder to recall, maybe because they don't require any thought to maintain. The main categories there would be:
- physical stuff you buy
- changes to your digital setup
- skills or mindsets you adopt.
Let me see:
- spending time learning keyboard shortcuts for your most-used applications. Even better, customise them so they meet your needs.
- set your home screen on Chrome to be your Todo list (Trello for me). It's the best place to start your day.
- a recent one: getting an extension like "controlled multi-tab browsing" which lets you put a limit on number of open tabs (for me, 8) seems to cut down mindless surfing quite a bit.
- reading Getting Things Done will permanently improve the way you approach tasks. Best insight from the book: when faced with a large task you keep putting off, define the next concrete step to take.
- make your email communication more efficient. Eg, when asking someone for meeting, suggest 2 or 3 times in your first email - this saves the back and forth on when and where to meet. Focus on specific, direct questions.
- useful mindsets to adopt: assume "willpower" doesn't exist - to change habits, focus on changing your environment and observing your emotional cycles. Joshua Spodek's blog has lots of good material on the second part. Key point is that getting pumped up and excited rarely works long-term; beating yourself up never works. Be patient with yourself, observe what situations make you slip up from habits, rationally think about how to deal with those situations in future. I call this a "structural fix" because once you learn these principles, you won't forget them.
I don't know if it counts, but if sometimes your phone doesn't have enough battery life even though you've installed an app like JuiceDefender, get a second battery for your mobile device and bring it with you.
Maybe it is obvious, and I'm sorry if this is the case.
How about using Stickk.com for any projects/hobbies/tasks you are struggling to keep up or get started on... Put a contract on yourself.
Brushing my teeth while showering. Saves me from forgetting to do so and/or remembering later and disrupting something else I'm doing at the time.
More things like this.
This works great for repetitive Amazon purchases of any kind. First step is optimize by taking 20-30 minutes to research the best for your money. Second step is to either:
a - subscribe on a cycle if that options available (Amazon Subscribe & Save), or
b - enter the purchase link URL into your calender and set as recurring reminder
I do this for lots of things currently including dog food and coconut water.
I wrote a quick piece about this a couple years ago and just reposted into my community section if your interested:
This discussion inspired a blog post from me: http://becomingawesome.com/index.php/2013/02/structural-improvements/
Here are the structural improvements that have me thinking:
"Go see someone with a lot of anatomic knowledge (physio, Active Release Therapist, Rolfer, Graston practitioner, Feldenkrais, etc) and have your muscular imbalances corrected."
You could also buy & read this book: http://www.amazon.com/Trigger-Point-Therapy-Workbook-Self-Treatment/dp/1572243759
The RumbleRoller foam roller is a trigger point miracle worker. I use it religiously. I wrote this review on my blog a while back.
Lights Spreadsheet, Week 5
So, I keep this Lights Spreadsheet to keep track of the actions I most want to be doing each day.
It works as a control — it gets me to do more of these actions.
It also works as a warning sign — if I see I've had mediocre sleep or no exercise for 4 days in a row, it prompts me to fix that before things start getting out of hand.
In my experience, there are two thresholds that someone looking to become fit needs to pass under:
First, you need to get started. Simple, yes, but it's often the hardest part. Any barriers you have to working out, like driving to the local gym, increases the likelihood that you'll sit on the couch and watch reruns of Lost and eat junk food instead. Us runners have a natural advantage over gym-rats in that we're able to tie our shoes and run out the door. Even in subzero temperatures you can reduce your time freezing by running to the nearest warm treadmill. By the time you get there your body temperature will have comfortably insulated you from the cold and your body will be ready for action.
Some suggest setting up your gym at home, if you can afford the proper equipment. This breaks down all the barriers and gives you no excuses for reneging on the daily workout. That being said:
Second, you need to fit it into your daily routine and find ways to obligate yourself to stick to it. Some ideas:

Configuring TLS Security for Cloudera Manager Enterprise Edition
Important: If you want to add new hosts after performing the following procedures to enable TLS, you must disable TLS and then configure TLS for each new host. For more information, see Adding a Host to the Cluster.
Important: Cloudera strongly recommends that you set up a fully-functional CDH cluster and Cloudera Manager before you begin configuring it to use TLS.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) provides encryption and authentication in the communications between the Cloudera Manager Server and Agents. Encryption prevents snooping of communications, and authentication helps prevent malicious Servers or Agents from causing problems in your cluster.
Cloudera Manager supports three levels of TLS security:
- Level 1 (Good): Encrypted communications between the Server and Agents only; no authentication of Server and Agents. See Configuring TLS Encryption for Cloudera Manager below.
- Level 2 (Better): Encrypted communications and authentication of Server to Agents and users; no authentication of Agents to Server. See Configuring TLS Authentication of Server to Agents and Users below.
- Level 3 (Best): Encrypted communications, authentication of Server to Agents, and authentication of Agents to Server. See Configuring TLS Authentication of Agents to Server below.

i put a excape board in my hive last this monday and i came in today to take off the honey super, but it didnt seem to have any less bees in the box then i did a week ago. does anybody have any ideas about how to make it work?
i put a excape board in my hive last this monday and i came in today to take off the honey super, but it didnt seem to have any less bees in the box then i did a week ago. does anybody have any ideas about how to make it work?
make sure you have it right side up and duct tape the super seams. good luck,mike p.s. make sure the inner cover and top cover are bee-tight

"Wine is a constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy" Ben Franklin
If the hive is tight and the escape is working correctly;
You sure you don't have brood ? If you do they will not leave
just like pmc said look for brood.
If there is no brood and the nights are cool you should be able to go back the next day or the day after and have an empty super
Last edited by berkshire bee; 09-21-2008 at 07:29 PM. Reason: empty of bees, that is
24-48 hours should be plenty of time to empty 2 or 3 supers. In addition to checking for brood/queen up and bee tight seals, check that your escapes are clear of hive debris/dead bees. Lifting/replacing supers to insert an escape board means you're going to squash some bees and breaking comb between boxes leaves the bees with a cleanup job which can clog escapes as they try to carry debris out.
I put mine on yesterday afternoon, this morning there were two bees in the super itself, but the center hole that leads down to the triangle maze and lower supers was full of bees. They stayed put while I carried off the super.
It was into the forties here last night, I think the cold helps get them moving down .
SO , after I took off the super, I then came back for the excluder. I briefly considered lighting the smoker, but figured the cold temp and early hour would keep them put while I swapped the excluder and inner/outer covers. Ha Ha Ha. As soon as I took the excluder off I was bombed by forty or fifty bees, while the hive began to boil over like a pot of pasta. I had those covers and a heavy rock back in place in seconds, and had a leisurely walk back to the house, escorted by the girls part of the way.
I am so glad I decided to wear the jacket and veil. I don't always use it and don't always need it, but I like the utter calm it inspires when something goes wrong.
Make sure you put it on the right way...

Hi, we have used the Quebec escape boards that we built ourselves from plan sources here on the board. The first, a single Quebec (that is where you have only one triangle) was disappointing. We added another triangle outside of the first, one that makes a small 3/8" channel to three escape points and that works good. The triangles are also covered with #8 wire mesh. Of course we have still a few (about three or four hangers-on) after 24 hours but they can be blown out or removed with the little brush.
Take care and have fun.
I recently had a similar experience, and I have had wonderful success with the escape board in the past.
I have a queenless hive. Has not had any brood, drone or otherwise, for over a month. I was trying to get the bees out of the super so I only had to carry the one deep to do a combine. Bees refused to come out of the shallow super. I ended up moving the whole shebang. Nights have not been particularly cold, though - mid 50s.
It's the same escape I used in July, and it worked great. There's no brood (I checked). It's installed correctly. There were no gaps/no robbing. It was just bees doing what bees do best... not following human rules!

The keeping of bees is like the direction of sunbeams. -Henry David Thoreau
What I do most times is put a empty super under the escape board or better yet is the spacer used for a baggie feeder plus a baggie with suger water. Gives them space to gather. Make sure there is no opening above, yellow jackets and robbers will empty a super in a day.

Munich is the proud capital of the Free State of Bavaria. With some 1.35 million inhabitants, it is the largest city in Bavaria and Germany's third largest city. Apart from the largest folk festival in the world, the Oktoberfest, Munich has many more attractions to offer its visitors. Almost everybody, for example, has heard of the Hofbräuhaus.
The famous beer hall on Platzl in the old town is well attended throughout the year. Not far from there is the Viktualienmarkt, one of the places where the locals like to hang out. Munich's stalwarts meet here in the beer garden for the morning pint and the chef of the gourmet restaurants buys his ingredients in the market stalls.
There are many other main attractions right in the center: the Church of Our Lady with the onion domes and the panoramic views is Munichs landmark, the city hall in the Gothic Revival architectural style towers (do not miss the chimes at 11 and 12 clock) right at the beautiful Marienplatz, the Alter Peter offers visitors that will climb the 306 steps to the top a breathtaking view to the Zugspitze on clear days.
Behind the Karlstor and Stachus extends Munich's old town including the shopping street with the highest turnover in Germany. For fans of machinery and equipment, this is a must: the German Museum on Museum Island in the Isar. It is the most visited museum in the Republic. Art lovers visit the galleries of the art premises in Munich.
The people of Munich love the River Isar and you can tell they do by all the lively urban green space along the riverbank. You get to swim, picnic and BBQ. If the Isar leads high water you can even surf in some places, but it is best watching this spectacle from the bank. Built for the 1972 Olympic Games is the Olympic Park, with its distinctive glass architecture is another recreational center of the city. The castle of the Bavarian Herrscherfamililie, the Wittelsbach also deserves to be discovered. It is one of the magnificent buildings of the dynasty.

Reviews of this property
Fantastic experience. Rosina and her husband are very kind. The room is confortable and the breakfast is simply fantastic.
The metro is near 100 mt so we were to oktoberfest in 10-15 minutes!
We really enjoyed our stay in Munich. The hosts were so gracious and helpful. The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast was delicious.
Nice Location and very nice owners who are helping us in every need.
We felt very homely in every aspect.
I strongly recommend this Apartment for comfortable stay. The rooms are very neat and simply superb.
Rosina and Herbert arte very nice hosts.
The room is large, confortable and clean. The bathroom is for esclusive use and very clean.
They offer delicous and big breakfast with home made cakes!
Everithing was more than fine, we sincerly recommend this house.
Mr. and Mrs. Rau were very friendly, the room was bright, quiet, nice and clean, breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The city center is easily reached by the subway. I can only recommend the hotel.

A word just recognized by the dictionary. It traced its roots back to a young Dad of Jim, Christopher Stanton. As soon as he took a shpere he came up with the name. The true definition is pounding a shot of any alcohol then chugging a full beer of your choice. Do not take to many of these they can result in a wild and fun night and/or blacking out. Also will cause you to get real creepy on girls at the pub.

As a new year and the spring semester begin, the University of Colorado Boulder is welcoming the first class of journalism students entering under a new undergraduate degree structure called "Journalism Plus" that CU officials say will create better journalists, better news content and, over time, a more informed society.
Currently, more than 45 new students are expected to enroll for spring semester under the new Journalism Plus requirements. Journalism Plus stipulates that students supplement their journalism degree requirements with an additional field of study in a specific arts and sciences discipline, an approach that Journalism Director Chris Braider says will make better journalists and communication professionals, better university students and better citizens.
"Journalism Plus ensures that the journalists and communicators CU produces will not only possess the updated skills they need to create and deliver messages, but will also possess the analytical abilities, research tools and knowledge of a subject to communicate something of value in those messages," Braider said. "Our students will understand, with depth and context, the content they will create as journalists. We think this will set them apart from other journalism programs across the nation."
Journalism and Mass Communication will continue to grant the Bachelor of Science degree in one of five sequences: advertising, broadcast news, broadcast production, media studies and news-editorial. Under the new requirements, students also will enroll in a 30- to 33-credit-hour additional field of study, the equivalent of work in a major in a discipline of their choice -- anything from English, physics and history to political science, environmental studies or film studies.
Students admitted prior to spring 2012 have until May of 2016 to earn a degree under the former requirements, or they can elect to complete the Journalism Plus degree requirements.
The changes, say CU-Boulder Provost Russell L. Moore, were deliberate and in line with CU's larger goals for its students.
"We want CU-Boulder students to be both knowledgeable and engaged in the world they live in," said Moore. "So the goal for us was never to make journalism go away, but to pair it with a discipline that would add the depth of knowledge of a liberal arts degree to the skills developed in a journalism curriculum. I think this is going to answer a call we've heard from media professionals -- don't just send us skilled graduates, send us graduates who can interpret and understand the information they gather with some depth and context."
At a practical level, Braider says, this will mean better, more contextual reporting to inform and shape our democratic society.
"In this model, science writers will possess first-hand knowledge of the sciences they report on," Braider said. "Reporters covering government or business will bring an in-depth knowledge of political science and economics to the events they chronicle. Advertisers and graphic designers will explore the full range of expressive arts on which their professions rely."
As Journalism Plus is implemented, more students will be admitted directly to Journalism and Mass Communication as freshmen.
The university is continuing on a path to creating a new interdisciplinary college or school of information, communications, journalism, media and technology, which will one day house journalism and companion disciplines in an environment of sharing, innovation and scholarship.
Journalism and Mass Communication continues to be accredited by the Accrediting Council on Education for Journalism and Mass Communications. In two years, the accrediting council will make a determination on accreditation for the following four years.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Nemo, Dec 5, 2009.
That was for NBA 2K5. Those were the daaays. *sigh*
Would the Malice at The Palace not affect HoF voters' thoughts? I think it would.
All he did was push a guy. Should have been a simple tech.
The barometer for defensive guys like Big Ben is Dennis Rodman. If Rodman doesn't get in (and he should)... then Ben has absolutely no chance of getting in.
Maybe it would be easier if they just started a DHOF.
Ben has been a puzzlement to me. That's why I started this thread (my very first). I was proud of him as a Piston, mad at him for leaving, disappointed that he didn't play better when gone, and surprised at his comeback. I truly didn't think he had it in him. But at this point, I'd like him to first...lead us back to the promised land (Flip Saunders Years) and then have him retire in style.
This, and the fact that there is no NBA HoF. Just a basketball one.
D$$$, tears rolling down to my keyboard.
Interesting, I think Rodmans crazy exterior (because he's not crazy on the inside) prevents him from getting in. We're all surprised by Ben's numbers at age 35, but just take a look at Rodmans numbers after age 30, simply amazing: Dennis Rodman Past Stats, Playoff Stats, Statistics, History, and Awards
Ben Wallace's total rebounding percentage (offensive and defensive) this season places him in a tie for 4th in the league.HowardCambyNoahOkafor/ Ben WallaceSpectacular.
I would say no.In this time of NBA everyone is looking for a great scorer rather than a great defensive stoper and the same will go for HOF players.The great players will go there,but if we are talking about those like Ben,Rodman,Mutambo,Bobby Jones... who did the dirty job and were in the shadows they won't get there.People will rather pick the all offense no defense Amare,but no Ben.
If Amare Stoudemire can get into the Hall of Fame and not Ben, I'm done watching the NBA.
Amare's done nothing to warrant HOF consideration. Don't be surprised if Mutombo makes it to HOF. He's done a lot to expand the reach of NBA to Africa. He also is an example of players giving back to their communities; I think he built a hospital or something in his home country.
Dekembe Mutombo is even cooler to say than Coynejeremy. He gets my vote for the HOF.
I LOL'd at that one.
He gets my vote too. But I wonder if Stern would give the 'finger waggle' action back at Mutombo....
I would put Pumpo in the Hall of Fame for the finger wag alone! Other cool things about Mutumbo: His name means banana. His voice is identical to the cookie monster. Back to topic. I believe Ben Wallace should absolutely be in the Hall of Fame, as should Dennis Rodman.
HOF should be for people who had a profound impact on the game. Nobody can deny that Big Ben's impact was anything but that. His work ethic, his relentless play and his passion and energy is unmatched.
Yeah,Big Ben is the perfect example that working hard and not giving up you can reach great hights and that potenial is nothing,if you don't work your ass off.
Separate names with a comma.

|Mann, Woodrow Wilson, 1916-2002
|Telegram from Mayor of Little Rock, Woodrow Mann, to President Eisenhower
|1957 Sept. 24
Telegram sent by Little Rock, Arkansas mayor Woodrow W. Mann to President Dwight D. Eisenhower on September 24, 1957, warning of mob violence in the community and urging Eisenhower to send federal troops to restore order. The day before, Eisenhower had issued a proclamation ordering mobs to disperse. Following the receipt of the telegram, Eisenhower signed Executive Order 10730 which authorized the Department of Defense to send troops to Little Rock to restore order to the city. The Little Rock school district voted to integrate its schools in 1957. Governor Faubus, opposed to integration, sent members of the Arkansas National Guard to prevent African American students--the "Little Rock Nine"--from entering Little Rock Central High School on September 4. Federal courts ordered Governor Faubus to remove the troops and permit the nine students to enter the school on September 23, 1957. However, because of the rioting that continued outside, the students were removed from the school after three hours. President Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered troops from the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock to restore order and to protect the students. After a single year of integration, Governor Faubus closed the Little Rock public high schools to avoid further integration. The United States Supreme Court declared Faubus' action illegal and the public schools reopened August 1959.

A solar panel is a device employed to absorb energy from the sun for you to generate heat or in so many cases electricity. It is identified as a photovoltaic cell as it is often made of many cells that are widely used to convert the light from the sun into electricity. The only raw material for these solar panels is the sun. it is made to the extent that the cells face the sun if you want to enable maximum absorption of the sun rays. The greater the energy from the sun is, the more the electricity that is generated. Solar panels are used in many homesteads across the globe because of the many pros that are far more than cons. Such pros are discussed below.
One very important advantage of using solar panels is that they do not emit any gases that are common in green houses. The panels do not emit any smoke, chemical or heavy metals that can be risk factors to human health. Solar panels are therefore environmental friendly depth . burning of fossil fuels to generate energy. This is important since carbon emissions are dangerous and avoiding their emission helps in safeguarding our present and future environment. Being environment friendly is important since the government is constantly producing ways to control global warming and use of solar panels is a sensible way to start. The solar panels therefore maintain a clean setting and they leave the air fresh. More importantly they help in prevention of many cancer incidences. The reason is , some products from some sources of energy like nuclear energy have been said to cause cancer due to initiation of mutations in cells.

This just in ...
Matt Lewis, Utah State graduate student, just sent me a report from the field that Schoenocrambe suffrutescens (or Hesperidanthus suffrutescens or shrubby reed-mustard, or whatever you want to call it this week) is just starting to flower! We don't have photos yet, but here's what it looked like just a week ago out near Big Pack Mountain, with the flowering stalks just starting to emerge:
Those are last years' dried-up flowering stalks sticking out from the plant. Maybe Matt will send us another report soon and flower photos?
In the meantime, here's another cool plant that's flowering right now, which I believe is Cryptantha paradoxa but may well be C. flavoculata. Either way, it's a catseye and it's adorable. This was taken near the Pariette wetlands.
If anyone out there reading has a suggestion, correction, or even photos to share, please let me know!

Teen ADHD May Raise Risk for Adult Problems »
"Dec. 10 2012 -- Teens diagnosed with ADHD are likely to have an array of issues as adults, including problems with physical and mental health, work, and finances, according to new research.
''ADHD in adolescence has long-lasting effec"...

(atomoxetine) Capsules
STRATTERA (atomoxetine) increased the risk of suicidal ideation in short-term studies in children or adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Anyone considering the use of STRATTERA in a child or adolescent must balance this risk with the clinical need. Co-morbidities occurring with ADHD may be associated with an increase in the risk of suicidal ideation and/or behavior. Patients who are started on therapy should be monitored closely for suicidality (suicidal thinking and behavior), clinical worsening, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. STRATTERA is approved for ADHD in pediatric and adult patients. STRATTERA is not approved for major depressive disorder.
Pooled analyses of short-term (6 to 18 weeks ) placebo-controlled trials of STRATTERA in children and adolescents (a total of 12 trials involving over 2200 patients, including 11 trials in ADHD and 1 trial in enuresis ) have revealed a greater risk of suicidal ideation early during treatment in those receiving STRATTERA compared to placebo. The average risk of suicidal ideation in patients receiving STRATTERA was 0.4% (5/1357 patients ), compared to none in placebo-treated patients (851 patients ). No suicides occurred in these trials [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
STRATTERA® (atomoxetine) is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Atomoxetine HCl is the R(-) isomer as determined by x-ray diffraction. The chemical designation is (-)-N-Methyl-3-phenyl-3- (o-tolyloxy)-propylamine hydrochloride. The molecular formula is C17H21NO•HCl, which corresponds to a molecular weight of 291.82. The chemical structure is:
Atomoxetine HCl is a white to practically white solid, which has a solubility of 27.8 mg/mL in water.
STRATTERA capsules are intended for oral administration only.
Each capsule contains atomoxetine HCl equivalent to 10, 18, 25, 40, 60, 80, or 100 mg of atomoxetine. The capsules also contain pregelatinized starch and dimethicone. The capsule shells contain gelatin, sodium lauryl sulfate, and other inactive ingredients. The capsule shells also contain one or more of the following:
FD&C Blue No. 2, synthetic yellow iron oxide, titanium dioxide, red iron oxide. The capsules are imprinted with edible black ink.
What are the possible side effects of atomoxetine (Strattera)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop taking atomoxetine and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- chest pain, shortness of breath, fast or uneven heartbeats;
- feeling like you might pass out;
- unusual thoughts or behavior, aggression, hallucinations (seeing things that are not there);
- nausea, pain in your upper stomach, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice...

What are the precautions when taking atomoxetine hcl (Strattera)?
Before taking atomoxetine, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: a certain adrenal problem (pheochromocytoma), bladder or prostate problems, glaucoma, heart problems (such as irregular heartbeat, heart failure, previous heart attack, problems with heart structure), family history of heart problems (such as sudden cardiac death, irregular heartbeat), high blood pressure, liver disease, personal/family history of mental/mood disorders (such as bipolar disorder, depression, psychosis,...

This post has been updated with new photos. Indian mee goreng is the Malaysian version of fried yellow noodles. This "Indian" version is sold by Indian-Malaysian hawkers—a great street food noodle dish that is sure to stir up your appetite.
It's been a busy week and I haven't had much time to cook. However, food is food; you have to satiate your hunger regardless of how busy you are.
I wanted to prepare something not overly complicated yet different tonight so I cooked up this nice serving of Indian Mee Goreng, which is fried yellow noodles commonly found in Malaysia, and the word "Indian" basically means that they are prepared by Indian-Malaysian hawkers.
I have two other mee goreng recipes on Rasa Malaysia, which taste different as the recipe can be quite versatile. In any case, mee goreng is always made with yellow noodles, which are available at Asian or Chinese food stores.
Sour, spicy, sweet, and tangy come through in this Indian mee goreng recipe. I love the fried bean curd, potato, and squid (a substitute for baby octopus or cuttlefish). It is really delicious. Enjoy!

Sorry to sound stupid, but here goes. I installed a Nuc back in June 1st have been growing and seem to be going well, but I have never been able to locate the queen. I put a second large super on 3 weeks later and last week put a honey super on. Now I have seen signs of larva growth and this afternoon during inspection, I had a larva drop on the ground. The problem is the front of the hive is covered with bees and look like they are getting ready to swarm. The question is how do I do a walk away split if I cant find the queen??

Village Voice's 10th Annual Siren Fest: The Day That Was...Hot, Rad and Right On
With a lineup boasting emerging acts alongside some of our favorite establishees, this year's Siren Fest drew a massive crowd to the southernmost shores of New York City, via the Coney Island beach and boardwalk. With the temperature wavering around 95 degrees in equally humid conditions, 14 of the best summer-fest worthy acts kept it cool with a blend of unique styles and super sick skills.
Most of the acts we'd seen before, but it was the newcomers that really got us in a righteous mood, namely Screaming Females (which seemed to be the general consensus fest-wide). This 3-piece from New Jersey are young, talented as shit, and we're pining to hear more from them in a live setting.
Overall, it was an excellent day in which we heard a ton of awesome music, hung out and high-fived all of our favorite people, and got inexplicably tanner than we've been in a really long time.
A full collection of images from the day can be viewed here...in the meantime, select shots are below.

The Destination
It's easy to see why Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited national park in the United States: Rushing brooks bubble past mossy banks that tickle the roots of centuries-old hemlock trees, and black bear and deer freely roam the forest floor while bald eagles dot the leafy canopy—it's a scene that would be the envy of any nature book. This section of the Appalachian Trail is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, and a conglomerate of cabins make it accessible year round.
The Digs
At an elevation of 2,200 feet, Chilhowee Mountain Retreat overlooks the rolling Great Smoky Mountains and sweeping Tennessee countryside with all the trappings of a comfortably modern B&B. Flat-screen TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi give you the option of staying on or off the grid, and your bathroom is outfitted with luxurious Gilchrist & Soames BeeKind environmentally friendly bath products. After a hot breakfast entrée, seasonal fruit, and an assortment of muffins each morning, linger by the fire or watch the hummingbirds (the distant, happy cousins of the disgruntled virtual birds) from the front porch with a pair of binoculars, provided for your use anywhere on the ten-acre property. Whether you explore the Smoky Mountains on the back of a bike, in your hiking boots, or behind a steering wheel, the trails through the national park offer an up-close experience with nature that is simply breathtaking.
"The views of Great Smoky Mountains National Park are breathtaking, the accommodations are luxurious, and the breakfast was delicious! The most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. Our advice would be for you to stay as many nights possible!"-- TripAdvisor
