|Birth Marriage Death - Assorted News Clippings This selection of births marriages and deaths have been all entered into our family tree. They were probably saved by Mollie WRIGHT (nee MENARY), of Gilford Castle. The last was in 1942, the first in 1927. A real treasure trove!

|JACKSONs in Belfast Newsletter My primary goal here was to note JACKSONs, but I also picked up a few other stray bits that interested me for one reason or another. In articles that have long lists of names, I have sorted them alphabetically – which is not how they were printed in the paper, but it makes it easier to avoid eyeball burn out.

|January 27, 2012
1829 February 27 Belfast Newsletter. At this time, the prospect from Woodpark Hill was truly delightful and picturesque – the immense concourse which clothed its sides rising in the form of an extensive amphitheatre; underneath the busy ploughman preparing for the contest, and some contending with restive horses. Adjoining, it laid the demesne of Fellows Hall, the seat of T. Knox Armstrong, Esq. and on a rising ground in the same direction, the village of Killylea; to the right, the venerable Cathedral of Armagh, showed its elevated spire, and the distant prospect in this direction was almost inimitable; to the left lay Mount Irwin, the highly improved and handsome demesne of William Irwin, Esq. The eye was next attracted by the, well cultivated forms of Messrs. Oliver and Roberts of Lislooney, and the village of Tynan, adjoining the beautiful and extensive demesnes of Sir James M. Strong, Bart. and the Earl of Caledon. To the south, as far as the horizon, they are fine champaign country, apparently well improved.

1831 Mar 11 Belfast Newsletter. TYNAN FARMING SOCIETY. – The annual ploughing match of the Tynan branch, N. E. farming society, was held on the 24th ult. on the Glebe lands at Tynan. On the signal being given, 25 competitors started in admirable style; and so well was the whole work executed that the judges –Messrs M. Pringle of Grange, Val B. Fair of Caledon, and James Wilson of Glasslough – had a great difficulty in selecting the most meritorious lots; between the best two of which they were unable to decide – so the silver cup with £2 for first prize, was again to be contested. – Mr. and Mrs Oliver of Lislooney, had prepared a very sumptuous entertainment, which was dispensed with an unsparing hand to every respectable individual who either was an acquaintance or known to come from a distance. At five o'clock, about 60 persons, composed principally the neighbouring gentry and respectable farmers, sat down to dinner – Maxwell Cross of Dartry, Esq. in the chair. After dinner, the usual national patrioticle complimentary and agricultural toasts, were given. The adjudications were then read by the secretary – 1st and 2nd to be ploughed again, by Messrs. John Stitt of Tynan, and R. Johnston of Deryyha – 3rd, John Sanderson, ploughman to Mr. E. Kilpatrick – 4th, Samuel Beattie, ploughman to Mr. John Martin – 5th, John Gregory, ploughman to Mr. James Morrow – 6th, Thomas Heney, ploughman to T.K. Armstrong, Esq. – 7th John McAllister, ploughman to Colonel Close – 8th, Frank Hughes, ploughman to Mr. Dixon – 9th, Mr. Oliver's ploughman – 10th, Mr. A. Johnston's ploughman – 11th, Mr. D. Norton's Ploughman – 12 Mr. M. Armstrong's Ploughman.

|1833 February 5 Rent reduction. Mrs. CLEWLOW had family ties to the DONALDSONs of Freeduff, so it is not surprising that she was well acquainted with the issues of tenant rights, and also seems sympathetic to the needs of her tenants.

|1865. A Hint To Irish Landlords In The Shooting Season. It is obvious that the writer is quite biased, but since the tale is told well, it is useful for illustrating a particular perspective. An excellent article to read for another perspective can be found on line: Early 19th Century Disturbances in Creggan Parish.
|February 23, 2013
|1863 November 26. This article is of particular interest to me since Thomas Jackson made his first voyage to Hong Kong via the Overland Route with P&O a year after this sailing. It is a list of complaints by passengers who arrived on the Oriental Steamer Salsette on October 27, 1863. The details are delicious. Their experience, less so.
|September 5, 2014
|1865 July 20 & 1865 September 12 These two news clippings concern the Thomas BRADFORD (1797-1872) of Carnbeg who married Margaret WALLACE (1811-1885). They had twelve known children. In his will probate, he left an estate valued at £9000. OTHER NAMES: M'CLINTOCK.

1877 April 4. This news article enabled me to connect some of the dots in this family – not that I am related to them, but it did shine light on some tangential folk.
I still do not know which line of JACKSONs this John JACKSON of Ballynahonebeg belonged to. I suspect he had a brother named Robert JACKSON. I also do not know if the John STANLEY who married Catherine Sarah BELL (see my Rootsweb Family Tree) is the same John STANLEY noted in the probates.

1881 Mar 12 Cullyhanna Land League article. This article mentions several County Armagh men who were both Orangemen and members of the Land League. Of particular interest to me, is the mention of David JACKSON of Urker near Crossmaglen in South Armagh. He was not only my great-great-grandfather, but also the father of Sir Thomas JACKSON, the focal point of my research.

|1886 April 12 News clipping. This is an annotated transcription and concerns an award which was presented to Thomas Jackson in 1886 prior to his departure when he first left Hong Kong. Jackson was the Chief Manager of HSBC, and had been the Chairman of the Victoria Recreation Club for a decade prior to leaving the Colony.
|November 7, 2012
|1886 April 12. China Mail. This article mentions Thomas JACKSONs work in both Hong Kong and the Bank as well as his work with the Legislative Council, and the Victoria Recreation Club. Mention also of William KESWICK.
|April 2, 2014
|1886 July 29. It is interesting to see this level of attention paid to this level of local politics in England.

The case against them was dismissed by a judgement delivered by the Resident Magistrate and three Justices of the Peace. These men were predominately, if not entirely, Protestant. At present, I know nothing about Joseph Prentice and John Burdon, other than they were Orangemen who were under the influence of drink.

|1902 May 19. This snippet is fascinating for a number of reasons. Firstly, it tells us that when Sir Thomas Jackson left Hong Kong on 1902, he was accompanied by one of his four daughters. His wife had set up house at Chiselhurst years earlier, but we can tell from photos in the 1890s, that his wife and children continued to visit Hong Kong. Secondly, Thomas Jackson shared a deep commitment with Osbert Chadwick, also travelling on the same boat, to solving the question of what caused the plague. They would have collaborated when Jackson served on the Sanitation Board, and would likely have discussed the topic further while on board.
|February 5, 2013
|1902 June 26, Thomas JACKSON had already left a month earlier for England, otherwise I suspect there would have been even more festivities to celebrate his baronetcy, as well as the knighthood of Sir Chatchick Paul CHATER, and the companion of the order of St. Michael and St. George for Dr. Ho Kni.

|1916 Apr 13. Given that Thomas JACKSON's sister Mary GRIFFIN lived on at Urker, Parish of Creggan until her death in 1921, it is significant that the property did not pass to her, but rather to TJ's son, Thomas Dare Jackson.

An entertainment extravaganza catering for the youth of Tauranga is gearing up for its second event with big headline acts confirmed to get the party started.
Summerfest played to 11,000 revellers earlier this year and organisers are hoping to repeat that success in February when Titanium, I am Giant and J Williams take the stage as well as an impressive line-up of local artists.
Creative Tauranga chief executive Tracey Rudduck-Gudsell says the show evolved after they identified concerns from young people regarding the lack of things to do and events for their age group.
She says Summerfest is a family-oriented, alcohol-free, fun day with a firm focus on supporting the development of performing arts' in the Bay of Plenty. The event is on a high and set to become an annual feature after positive feedback from the community about its inaugural showcase.
"It was absolutely fantastic and it was awesome to see families enjoying the bands, entertainment and other activities," Rudduck-Gudsell says. One family had three generations present.
"Afterwards we received a lot of accolades from parents and different schools saying how good it went, which was really encouraging."
Rudduck-Gudsell says Summerfest gives young musicians the chance to be in the limelight.
"We have a plethora of extraordinary young artists who are passionate about music and write their own songs and it's a fabulous opportunity for them to perform alongside big name acts.
"It's a great platform as many of these kids aspire to be musicians and it's wonderful that they can get this experience and rub shoulders with the professionals."
Summerfest will serve up something for everyone.
"It's going to be non-stop sounds all day with everything from hip-hop, R&B;, rock, alternative, pop, folk and urban dance right through to a dance-off."
Targeted at people aged 11 to 17, Summerfest also runs educational campaigns on the day with an emphasis on health, being sunsmart, alcohol and drug abuse, staying safe and the environment.
Tickets are still available at earlybird prices because the event will go on regardless of the weather. "If it's raining bring your wetsuit."

What: Summerfest 2013
Where: Blake Park Mount Maunganui

Romanian travellers have begun sleeping rough outside shops in Park Lane.
A group has returned to the area near Marble Arch, fuelling concerns of a repeat of last summer's long-running saga.
These pictures show the travellers, who are believed to have returned a couple of weeks ago, bedded down in sleeping bags with suitcases in tow.
Today traders along Park Lane spoke of their anger and urged Westminster council to take stronger action to sort out the problem.
Hakan Altay, who runs Hakan Altay Hair and Beauty Salon, said he had been forced to move on several members of the group after arriving at work to find them outside his shop.
He added: "It's awful. I have complained many times to the police and council, but it doesn't do anything as they keep coming back.
"They settle down for the night at about 10 or 11pm and leave about 7am. They make the shop front very dirty.
"It's also affecting my business. They should not be allowed to stay there. It makes me so upset."
David Lindley, office manager of the Mayfair branch of Fine & Country estate agents, called on the council to intervene.
He said: "I started my working day having to clear the debris left outside our offices before our clients arrived.
"For the amount we pay in council tax we should be able to expect our streets to be kept clean and for our staff and offices to be protected."
Imad Habib, manager of nearby Park Lane News, described the situation as a "disaster" and said the group should be "kicked out" of the country.
It is not clear if these latest arrivals are part of the gang of about 50 beggars that set up a makeshift shelter and repeatedly returned to the tourist spot in the run-up to London 2012, despite regular intervention by the council and the police to remove them.
That group was said have been bussed in by organised crime syndicates before the Games with instructions to work pre-allocated "pitches" as beggars, pickpockets and prostitutes.
Nickie Aiken, Westminster council's cabinet member for community protection, acknowledged the problem was a recurring issue but said the local authority had limited powers.
"We throw everything we can at the problem but it takes up a lot of resources that could be used on anti-social behaviour elsewhere," she said. "We are working with the police to stop aggressive begging and our social workers are stepping in if there is even a suggestion of child exploitation.
"But the reality is this is a difficult issue for one council to deal with all by itself. We are talking to ministers and the UKBA because if we are going to deal with this effectively we will need stronger powers.
"Ultimately though we can't stop them because our hands are tied by European legislation."
A Home Office spokesman said it would only get involved if the group was found to have entered the UK illegally.

I am hoping to use the P+D 55-70M per week training schedule for my first marathon in October.
The schedule should start on June 13th (18 weeks) but I was thinking about starting it 2 or 3 weeks early to add in a couple of extra rest weeks and be able to stick to it better as I would end up missing some of the training sessions once the football season started again in August (watching not playing). These sessions would likely be the Sat or Sun - I would make sure I did the long run but the session scheduled for the Sat may be missed.
Would it be better to do this or to just miss the sessions out that I couldn't do and just do the rest?
Thanks, Dean.
what do you think?

what do you think?
I don't know, that's why I'm asking.
I'm presuming the starting it early would be best, which is why I'm thinking of doing that but not too sure if taking a step back week at the 'wrong' time would affect my progress more than missing the odd run.

Finding the next generation of vets
As manager of admissions and recruitment at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, Heather Mandeville is used to answering hundreds of questions from prospective students.
Most queries are about topics that Mandeville can easily talk about such as required courses, transcripts, interviews and provincial residence rules. But every once in a while, she still gets stumped.
"One student asked me, 'Does the WCVM offer farrier training?' and all I could think was, 'Fairy what . . . ?'" recalls Mandeville with a grin.
"I've grown to love these types of questions because they remind me how broad the study and practice of animal health really is — and how much I can learn from the students in return."
Mandeville, who previously worked in admissions at the University of Saskatchewan's College of Medicine, came to the WCVM in late 2010 after the veterinary college's longtime admissions person — Elaine Angielski — retired. The original role was expanded to include student recruitment, reflecting the WCVM's plans to make this area a priority.
Since coming to the veterinary college, Mandeville has worked with Dr. Bruce Grahn —WCVM's associate dean, academic — to plan a recruitment strategy that includes visits to high schools, universities and communities throughout the four western provinces. Another recent addition to the recruitment team is admissions assistant Sandy Knowles who took over the job after another veteran employee, Norine Demeria, retired in August.
"Maintaining, or even increasing, applicant numbers is vital for the future to ensure that the best students are applying and being admitted to the WCVM every year," says Grahn. "The practice of veterinary medicine is changing, and the college continues to strive at selecting the best individuals who will be successful students as well as future leaders."
By emphasizing recruitment, the college is documenting increased numbers of qualified applicants and is emphasizing diversity, especially Aboriginal student applicants. At the same time, the WCVM's increased recruitment efforts are helping to provide all prospective students with valuable advice and guidance on navigating the college's application process.
Besides ramping up its recruitment activities, the college made the switch to electronic admissions in 2011 — another positive change that has helped to make the application process more user friendly.
Visiting students in their own communities plays a huge role in recruitment. For example, in the past few months, Mandeville (who's often joined by Grahn and Knowles on her provincial treks) made presentations about the WCVM's DVM program at five universities in Manitoba and Alberta. She also travelled around Saskatchewan to attend career fairs in Prince Albert, Regina, Yorkton, Warman and Muenster.
Back in Saskatoon, Mandeville organized information sessions during the University of Saskatchewan's "Experience US" event and helped organize a pre-veterinary information night for 140 people during Vetavision (WCVM's public open house) in September. She also attended the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame Discovery Days in November — an event that attracted a number of Aboriginal students to the U of S campus for information sessions hosted by the university's health science colleges.
"Offering in-person presentations to prospective students allows us to showcase what the WCVM has to offer and give detailed information on how to gain admission to the DVM program," explains Mandeville. "It also provides the college with invaluable insight into what prospective candidates are out there and what questions they have."
Based on the veterinary college's latest admissions statistics, the long days spent travelling to communities across the West appears to be worth it. More than 400 aspiring veterinarians applied to the WCVM for the 2013-14 academic year — the highest number of applications received from western Canadian residents in the college's 48-year history.
This is the second year in a row that the WCVM has enjoyed an above-average year: 340 applicants applied for the college's 78 student seats available in the 2012-13 academic year.
The WCVM usually receives about 325 applications per year for its four-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program.
While other factors have contributed to the rise in applications, feedback from students, teachers and counsellors has confirmed that the WCVM's efforts to meet prospective students in their own communities has been helpful.
Meeting students face to face also gives Mandeville the chance to dispel some myths. For example, she remembers one student asking whether it was true that the WCVM admission process involved pulling names out of a hat.
"The actual process is simple and straightforward," points out Mandeville. "We look at two components — academic and non-academic — which are then broken down further into grades obtained in university, completion of required courses, reference forms and the interview."
Another misconception is that students need extremely high marks to be admitted to the WCVM. "It saddens me to hear students who have already given up on their dream of becoming a veterinarian before finishing Grade 12," she says.
A minimum grade point average of 75 per cent is required to apply to the WCVM and to be competitive for an interview (however, the average required to be competitive for an interview offer varies from year to year and province to province). High marks can help to give applicants more room in their interview scores, but grades aren't the only factor considered in the admissions process.
"While some applicants with average grades in the high 80s are turned down every year, many applicants with marks in the high 70s are admitted. Performance in the interview doesn't correlate directly with a student's grades — and the interview has a significant impact on the rank order of applicants."
Besides addressing the question of marks, Mandeville talks to students about required courses and what students can do to gain more animal and veterinary experience before applying. She also addresses the issue of whether students should enrol in a science or agriculture program for pre-veterinary studies.
"Either program is equally acceptable," points out Mandeville. "Students should select their program based on personal preference and interest, plus they should also consider alternate career plans if they aren't admitted to the WCVM."
Mandeville encourages university students to apply the WCVM as soon as they have the required courses and grade point average versus waiting until they complete their degrees.
Statistics show that 10 to 15 per cent of students are admitted with only two years of university while nearly 50 per cent of successful applicants have completed degrees. "But the earlier an applicant applies in their undergraduate program, the sooner they may be admitted to the college — or gain useful feedback to benefit them in future applications," says Mandeville.
With the WCVM's annual December 1 application deadline past, Mandeville is now focused on the next phase of admissions: ranking all of the applicants in each province and determining who qualifies for interviews this spring.
But it won't be long until members of the WCVM recruitment team are back on the road. Mandeville and Grahn are meeting with prospective students at three B.C. universities in January while Knowles will travel to Brandon, Man., for a large career symposium in March.
They're looking forward to answering another year's worth of students' questions — and helping a new group of applicants follow their veterinary dreams.

Aramis Ramirez sits out game with sore wrist
Setback is latest in injury-filled season
Aramis Ramirez sat out the Milwaukee Brewers' series finale with the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday as he continued to recover from a left-wrist contusion suffered two games earlier when he was hit by a Mat Latos fastball.
Injuries and bad luck have been a common theme for Ramirez in 2013. The veteran third baseman is on pace to play his second fewest games since 2009 thanks mostly to a bothersome left knee that first cropped up in spring training.
Because of it, he spent roughly two months on the disabled list in two different stints — the first from April 6 to May 2 when he sprained it on a slide into second base and the other from July 8 to Aug. 12 as he dealt with patellar tendinitis.
Now, with two weeks left in the season, Ramirez finds himself dealing with a sore wrist while trying to balance the desire to try and finish strong with trying to be smart and not aggravate the wrist more.
"I think so," Ramirez said when asked if it was a tough spot to be in.
"But at the same time, you want to be out there because all your teammates and everybody are still out there. We're not in the race or anything, but you want to finish strong. You want to go home feeling good about yourself."
The last time Ramirez missed this much time due to injury was in 2009, when he dislocated his left shoulder diving for a ball while with the Chicago Cubs (at Miller Park, no less).
He was on the DL from May 9 to July 5 and played 82 games in all but still had a decent season with a .317 average, 15 home runs and 65 runs batted in.
In 81 games this season, Ramirez is hitting .267 with 10 homers and 41 RBI.
Add in the Brewers' overall misery as a team, and it's easy to see why Ramirez considers this season much worse.
"(In 2009), I missed two months, 2½ months, but that was it," he said. "Long stay on the DL and then I came back and played the rest of the year.
"This year, I've been up and down — missed one month, came back, missed another month. And when I came back, I didn't play every day; I played two days, couldn't play a day game after a night game.
"So this is a lot tougher."
Ramirez said he didn't regret the way the whole situation was handled.
"I just didn't heal the way I was supposed to, I guess," he said. "It just didn't react the way we were expecting. It was so close (to the start of the season) I tried to come back the best I could. It didn't work, though."
Ramirez, who has one year remaining on his contract at $16 million, said the plan for him right now is to give his knee sufficient time to heal back home in the Dominican Republic before embarking on an off-season conditioning program that will emphasize lower-body strength.
Ramirez, who counts the New York Yankees' Robinson Cano and David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox as workout partners, hopes he can return strong and put together a season more like the one he did in 2012 with a .300 average, 27 homers,105 RBI and strong defense at third base.
"(This year) hasn't been fun for anybody — especially for me," he said. "I haven't played much, missed a lot of games, missed a lot of time. That's never fun. But I look forward to next year, and hopefully I stay healthy."
An auspicious debut:Sean Halton, who hit the walk-off homer that clinched the Brewers' 6-5 victory over the Reds, started the game at first base but slid over to third in the top of the ninth as manager Ron Roenicke made a host of substitutions brought about by the use of two pinch-hitters in the bottom of the eighth.
"We felt OK with him there," Roenicke said. "But at that point, we had to do what we could to score some runs and catch up so when you exhaust your bench you're sometimes left with not the ideal situation."
It was just the second time Halton ever played the position as a professional; he played one game there last season at Class AAA Nashville.
At 6 feet 4 inches and 260 pounds, Halton is a first baseman by trade who has also seen some occasional action in the outfield.
"I loved it. I think everyone else was nervous," he said with a laugh. "I was good. I'm confident over there. It was good to get in there and good for them to have some confidence in me to get over there. But it felt good."
Sunday reminder: The Brewers' home finale Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals has been moved to 7:05 p.m. for an ESPN telecast.

Jim is friendly, easy going and great to have a chat with.
I could not have asked for a better place and host during my stay and would not hesitate to recommend staying there!

What Saint Paul Really Said: Was Paul of Tarsus the Real Founder of… (edition 1997)
by N. T. Wright
Work details
What Saint Paul Really Said: Was Paul of Tarsus the Real Founder of Christianity? by N. T. Wright
No current Talk conversations about this book.
An excellent if short analysis of Pauline theology and doctrine-- an attempt to navigate the shoals of modern controversy while remaining true to what Paul said.
The title is a bit sensationalistic; Wright does eventually get around to examining the question of Paul as founder of Christianity (and does well at showing how Jesus is the focus, and Paul the pointer to Jesus). Most of the book is an attempt to make sense of Paul as a first-century former Pharisaic Jew promoting the message of Jesus of Nazareth as the Crucified Lord.
Wright makes strong arguments regarding the nature of the Gospel, justification, and God as Paul believed and elaborated. He shows how Paul is no Hellenist but a Jew maintaining a strong criticism of paganism while also critiquing the Jews themselves.
I have a strong suspicion that this book sets out in short form what was most recently more expanded in "Justification" and, ultimately, will be more thoroughly demonstrated in the 4th volume of Christian Origins and the Question of God. In the meantime, an excellent book, one necessary for consideration when one attempts to make good sense of true, first century Pauline theology and doctrine.
The US subtitle of this book (Was Paul of Tarsus the Real Founder of Christianity), and the blurb on the back about A.N. Wilson, are a little misleading, as this question really only occupies the last chapter, where Wright critiques Wilson's Paul the Mind of an Apostle. Most of the book sets out Wright's views on the theology of Paul's letters. Wright has a grand synthesis, and it may serve as a corrective to some deeply ingrained Christian beliefs. A few of his distinctive and central points are:
1. Setting Paul's letters against the Judaism of his day. Wright insists that only a proper historical understanding of Paul can make full sense of his writings. Wright analyses Paul's attitudes and actions prior to his conversion and finds that Saul of Tarsus was a radical Shammaite Pharisee, an ideological fellow-traveller with the zealots who rebelled against Roman rule. Saul's extreme zeal to see Israel return to Torah was transferred into an equally zealous attitude towards the Christ who revealed himself to Saul on the road to Damascus.
Wright insists on seeing all of Paul through the prism of the expectations of first century Judaism. It is certainly a necessary and fruitful exercise, putting much of what Paul wrote in new perspective, and making better sense of some things. I did wonder at some of the implications of needing detailed historical knowledge to grasp some of Paul's basic doctrines. I wish at times Wright had emphasized more that Paul's gospel was grounded in the Old Testament as much as being Jewish. But perhaps I reveal my cultural heritage which has seen the Jews as outcasts who missed the boat/ark.
2. Israel in Paul's day saw itself as still in exile. According to Wright, while the Jews had returned from exile in Babylon and had a form of national government, the great post-exilic promises of the prophets had not been fulfilled. Jews, therefore, saw themselves as still in virtual exile, still awaiting the day of the Lord and their vindication when they would rule the nations. This perspective is, in a sense, undoubtedly true. Whether it controlled the perspectives of first century Judaism is another matter. And how much that perspective controlled the New Testament is yet another matter again. I suspect there is much truth in it, and some Jewish sects seem to have been influenced by this perspective. The trouble is that it doesn't seem to be the central background idea of the New Testament writers, or even Paul. It is probably one key to unlocking the New Testament meaning of Jesus. That is it the controlling key, as Wright argues here and elsewhere, is less certain.
3. The gospel is about Jesus. Well, that may seem obvious. But the term "gospel" has been a muddled concept. Evangelicals, to whom Wright belongs and who (I'm guessing) are the main readers of his works, have traditionally seen the gospel as a message on how to escape hellfire or , on a more sophisticated level, as an outline of a theological transaction involving atonement and justification that shows individuals how to be saved. Wright says that the gospel involves these things, but is more. It is the proclamation of a royal message: that the life, death and resurrection of Jesus the King is the pivot of history, and that we should submit to him as Lord (rather than to Caesar, or any other power).
Others have said the same, and surely they read the New Testament rightly. Much of what passes for "gospel" or "evangelistic" work in the church is too narrowly focussed on personal salvation, in a take-it-or-leave-it manner. If God has done these things in Jesus and he is Lord, then not only are we, as individuals, commanded to submit to him, but also all worldly (and spiritual) powers. It therefore challenges every ideology, every action, and every thought of everyone, Christian or not. This gospel from the Creator of all is a message for all: it is public truth, not just personal piety (although of course it commands our personal spirituality). To which I can only add my "Amen" to Wright.
4. Justification is not about how you become a Christian, but about what distinguishes those who are Christian. As Wright puts it, the gospel about Jesus is God's message to the world. Justification is God's message to the church. Wright here follows in the wake of E.P. Sandars (1977), while developing his own (more evangelical) view. The argument goes like this: the central expectation for a Jew like Saul was that, at the end of human history, God would intervene in the world and would bring the nations to account, as in a great law court, and declare his people, Israel—or those who were truly Israel by virtue of Torah observance—in the right, or justified. For Saul the central question was not about individual "salvation by works" (proto-Pelagianism, as Wright puts it), but about the vindication of God's faithful people. When he became a Christian and responded to the gospel through the personal intervention of Jesus, Paul realised that God had done in Jesus in the middle of time (Wright could have acknowledged Conzelmann) what he expected him to do at the end of time.
This means that the great vindication had effectively happened, in Jesus. Against Jews (and Judaisers, such as those in Galatia) who claimed that the justified people of God are marked by Torah observance (with attendant marks such as circumcision), Paul says that faith—that is, faithful response to the gospel message—is the mark of the justified. In the great assize, it is not Israel against the nations, but all under condemnation before God. Torah observers are just as sinful as pagans. God graciously declares the faithful justified through Jesus. This is a message for the church because it destroys arguments about who is "in and out" according to class, ethnic, economic, or even doctrinal lines, because the ones justified are those who have faith. Justification is, then, a message to God's people as much as to individuals.
There is a lot more to Wright's argument about justification than this (such as God's righteousness {dikaiosune theou} not being imputed to us, but a quality peculiar to God and distinct from the righteous status {dikaiosune ek theou} that God grants the justified), and I have to think (and pray) through it more. But it has the ring of truth. In stressing the communal aspect of justification present in the New Testament, Wright probably transforms its meaning for individual Christians. He claims it cuts across confessional lines because (viz. Richard Hooker) one can be justified without knowing it. Thus, many who respond faithfully to Christ but rely on their works are, in fact, justified. This all cuts across much of my understanding of justification, formed by conservative evangelicals, but I think it grows rather than supplants that understanding.
A very long review, but it helps to put my reactions down in black and white. While in the main I find much to commend in Wright, there are reservations, some of which I have voiced above. John Stott (2001) has queried Wright's reluctance to say that Jesus considered himself God, and I sensed that reluctance in this book (although Wright does state that Paul considered God as Trinity, with Jesus and the Holy Spirit). On a more mundane level, an index would have increased the book's usefulness. This book may not make full sense to someone without any background or reading in biblical studies. But Wright is a voice to be listened to, by evangelicals and by the broader church.
Caveat: this is only the second book on religion I've read since high school, lo these many geological ages ago.
This is a good book that could have been great. What I was able to get out of it was really good stuff. However, it seemed that he kept dancing around many of his points, without ever actually coming out and making them explicit, so that the reader had, finally, to infer them. Many of them are good points, to be sure; but dude, just spit it out. But it is unclear to me whether this experience is because I am inexperienced with this sort of literature, or if it really is more wordy and less straightforward than need be. For example, one critical, and technical, concept that he made much reference to is "redemption;" but while there was much discussion of other critical technical terms (such as justification), redemption was used as though the reader were already comfortable with it. Again, I don't know if this is my failing or the book's, but I found it a problem throughout my reading.
Perhaps in addition to, or because of, my inexperience with this sort of literature, there seemed to be a small but significant component of apologetics. I found this component annoying and distracting, as I was seeking explanation and exegesis rather than evangelism. It seemed to be largely responsible for the dancing around points rather than their clear declaration.
As it was, I had to work pretty hard to get as much as I did out of it, and I flatter myself that I'm no slouch at reading. I know I didn't understand a few important parts of his argument. I do hope to read it again someday.
Without a doubt, N.T. Wright is one of the most controversial and well respected New Testament scholar of our time. His work has been ground breaking. This relatively small book on Paul and his theology is packed with amazing insight. His ability to articulate the gospel has reshaped (and brought me closer) my view of God. I would recommend reading this book several times to fully grasp the implications of what Wright is saying. The book tends to get repetitive, but nonetheless, it is filled with some stellar scholarship. With all that said, I don't know how much I agree with Wright. His views of justification are different, but he may have a basis for what he is saying. I think he explains the gospel well, but I don't know if he implements it correctly. As with all theology, one must continue to read and discern before the Lord what is truth. Anyway, I found the book to be enlightening and refreshing.

Say "Ojai" to the Mediterranean
The Capri Hotel • Ojai, CA
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Balcony or Patio Room, Sundays through Thursdays ($89) or Fridays and Saturdays ($102) Beginning October 1
- Bottle of Wine
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Two Nights
Even if your budget is less "Isle of Capri" than it is "capri pants," we've got an Escape that's a real Roman holiday. Slip away to The Capri Hotel in Ojai, a breezy California town that feels like a little slice of the Mediterranean.
Take off with your honey for a one-night stay for two in a balcony or patio room, Sundays through Thursdays ($89) or Fridays and Saturdays ($102) beginning October 1, and receive a welcome bottle of wine. Each guest room comes furnished with one king or two queen beds, a 42-inch plasma TV, a rainfall shower, a spacious patio or balcony, and Wi-Fi.
Mod décor in green and white lends an air of 1960s charm to the recently revamped hotel, and the view from your digs is swoon-worthy. Swaying palms and the Topa Topa Mountains fill the Ojai skyline, and the hotel's splashy poolside cabanas are ripe for lounging. Of course, if you want to dip in the ocean, the Pacific is only a 20-minute drive away.
Explore the surrounding scenery—Ojai has lots of it. Gather your thoughts at Meditation Mount, hike along 6.5-mile Last Chance Trail, or venture into the Los Padres National Forest. Even Ojai "winter" temps remain in the high 60s, so there's ample opportunity for trekking outdoors.
If lounging is more your speed, spend an afternoon at Spa Ojai, a 31,000-square-foot massage mecca that offers facials, body wraps, and mani/pedis. Then dine with Mediterranean flair at Azu downtown—visitors and locals alike love chef Laurel Moore's tapas offerings of caprese-stuffed artichokes and tagine-roasted chicken.
While you're sipping a glass of wine on a balcony overlooking the mountains, perhaps during one of Ojai's famous Pink Moments when the east-west mountain range turns a vivid sherbet, you'll feel molto bene.
"Spiritual teachers, gurus, and Hollywood celebrities are drawn to the beauty of Ojai, with its clean white Spanish architecture and oak and citrus trees framed by the Coastal Range."-- The New York Times

Hey Glen
Don't worry it takes a while to get used to z-brush as it can feel very alien at times. Thats a good start, i made something pretty similar when I first downloaded the demo.
If you want to activate symmetry on an object in edit mode just hit X Y or Z and the symmetry will be activated hit the key again and it will be deactivated. You can also have more than one activated at once. You will see red vertices where the symmetry will apply your brush.
I hope that helps.
gimmie a shout if you need more help!

Western Bay District ratepayers could be up for a $1.6 million bill if the handing back of an old quarry at Little Waihi to its original Maori owners includes reinstating the hillside.
The quarry near Maketu dates back to 1944 when the former Tauranga County Council took the land under the Public Works Act to obtain gravel for road building.
Mining finished 30 years ago on 1.3 hectares of hillside which holds historic and cultural significance to Ngati Whakahemo.
A major step forward in a process which stalled 11 years ago on stormwater disposal issues was achieved last week when the Western Bay of Plenty District Council agreed to restart negotiations.
It includes the option of returning the quarry in its present state, although negotiations will focus on the council obtaining a stormwater easement over part of the quarry, road widening and a possible land exchange.
An engineering report will also be obtained to reinstate the hole in the hillside measuring 150m by 25m and 20m deep. Council property manager Blaise Williams said the estimate of $1.6 million was a reasonable assessment for restoring the land to its original contours.
Negotiations will be with Ngati Whakahemo's Ngawhara Trust. Trustee Shane Swales said slips cause by the quarrying had exposed the bones of ancestors and the hill had been an historic battleground along an ancient coastal highway for Maori.
He said Ngati Whakahemo did not think the acquisition in the early 1940s was carried out correctly. It was hurtful to family and ancestors.
"We want the land returned."
Mr Swales said it was a big hole in the ground and the council had not shown a good example by leaving the quarry in an unsafe state. The trust represented over 100 owners.
Mr Williams said the quarry face was certainly dangerous. Negotiations would have to look at covering the council's stormwater requirements while trying to find a way forward.
One of the issues with reinstating the quarry was that it was dredged to about 8-10m below ground level - creating a man-made lagoon that was lower than the estuary.
He said the requirements of the Public Works Act stipulated that the council did not have to do more than return the land in its current condition.
Councillor Mike Pittar said if it had been a private quarry the consenting authority would never have allowed it to be left in that state.
"How it has been left in that state for so long, I will never know."
Cr Pittar said that while he had no problem in moving that the council enter negotiations, the trust should be aware that there was an extreme shortage of money and any process would be long term.

Date of Stay: November, 2012
A very nice RV park in an orange grove and you can pick the oranges at certain times of the year. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We stay here every time we head south for the winter and return home in April. They have a new ISP so the Wi-Fi works well all over the park and is free. This year we stayed 2 nights.
Date of Stay: June, 2007
There are no pull through sites in this campground. The main grocery store in Logan Lake has new owners and is now very good, about 20-25 minutes from the park. There are still many trees to be cut down because of the beetle infestation but the fishing is still good (smallish rainbow trout)
Date of Stay: June, 2006
Unfortunately this park was infested with pine beetles and was extensively logged off leaving few trees between sites, especially in the upper part of the campground. IMHO it's still a nice place to camp for a few days, but, at least for now, it has lost a lot of privacy between sites.
