Green-Cameron Final Presser
Photos and story by Brett Bonetti
Three-time world champion Danny "The Green Machine" Green (32-5, 28 KOs) and Shane "The Mountain Warrior" Cameron (29-2, 22 KOs) held their final press conference today at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia today ahead of their bout for the vacant IBO world cruiserweight title at the Hisense Arena this Wednesday.
Green will be aiming for a fourth world title and says that it is a big motivating factor for this fight as there has been no Australian born fighter that has won four world titles before. Cameron will be aiming for his first world title and the first New Zealand fighter to win a world title in many years.
Green was asked about the weight limit set for this world title fight with Cameron and said he is the one taking a big risk because Cameron was a much bigger opponent. "It is a massive difference and a massive advantage," Green said. "I expect Shane, a man of his size, to tip the scales at 96kg minimum by the time of the fight while I'll tip them at 86.5kg maybe. It's the catchweight and it's been going on forever, Sugar Ray Leonard did it against Donny Lalonde and Tommy Hearns, Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather have all fought at a catchweight. He is the number nine Heavyweight in the world, he's a monster, I'm the one putting my balls on the line fighting a Heavyweight," Green said.
Cameron's manager Ken Reinsfield said he was very confident about "The Mountain Warrior's" chances and says his training camp has gone very well. "I said to Shane this week during training, that you look so good, you just look like one tough, mean bastard and I can't wait for the fight" Reinsfield said.
Green's long time respected trainer Angelo Hyder also is excited about this fight, Green's chances of a fourth world title and can't wait for the fight. "Just as Ken said about Shane, I feel the same way about Greeny, I think both guys look in great shape and are ready to go, I can't wait," Hyder said.
Also in attendance was IBO world featherweight champion "Wild" Will Tomlinson (19-0, 12 KOs) who will be making the 2nd defense of his title against Irving "Travieso" Berry (22-3-2, 9 KOs). "I'm looking forward to this fight and I promise I won't let the fans down, this fight will be a war" Tomlinson said.
Berry, who does not speak much English thanked everyone for attending and says he plans on upsetting Tomlinson on Wednesday and claim the belt.

The mood: classic dandy meets modern day European gent.
The influence: the luxurious side of menswear's sartorial history. Canali's fall / winter 2013 collection didn't merely bring impeccable tailoring to the runway, it added a layer of tactility and texture with luxurious velvets and plush furs.
The ambiance: Canali's men (and they were men, not boys) walked strongly around a squared runway, the rich blue light display in the background providing a brilliant contrast to the warmth of the clothing's colour palette.
The standouts: double breasted coats in rich autumnal hues; graphic almost retro-inspired patterns across knits and outerwear.

Damian Karlik Sentenced to Six Life Sentences for Murdering Ex-boss' Family
Fired waiter launched revenge on former boss, Dmitry Osherenko, killing him and five members of his family, including his two young children.
The Petah Tikva District Court sentenced Damian Karlik to six life sentences on Tuesday after he was convicted of murdering six members of the Osherenko family in Rishon Letzion two years ago.
In 2009, 32-year-old Dmitry Osherenko, his 28-year-old wife Tatiana, and their children Revital, 3, and Netanel, aged four months, were found dead in their Rishon Letzion apartment along with grandparents, Edward and Ludmilla, both 56. Five of the six victims had sustained stab wounds.
Last month, the Petah Tikva District Court convicted Karlik of murdering the Osherenko family. Karlik was also convicted of conspiracy to murder, theft, and arson.
In addition to the six life sentences, Karliak was handed a ten-year sentence for breaking into the home of the Osherenkos, arson and other criminal charges. He was ordered to pay compensation of between NIS 50 and 258 thousand to relatives of the Osherenkos.
Karlik had initially told police he killed the Osherenkos, but later retracted his confession.
During the court ruling, the judges rejected Karlik's version of events, where he claimed he was not guilty and that the murderer of the Osherenko family was a different man named Vlad.
Dmitry Osherenko's family was targeted by Karlik after he was fired from the Osherenko family restaurant Premier for stealing a bottle of vodka. Karlik claimed he felt humiliated and began to nurture his hatred for his former boss.
Karlik, whom the police say is a compulsive gambler, spent huge amounts of money at gambling venues and allegedly began to plan his revenge on Osherenko four months before the murder took place with his wife Natalya, who was convicted of manslaughter and was sentenced to 13 years in prison in a plea bargain.

In addition, Plaskett analyzes new ideas to rip apart the White center that he has successfully used in his own games.
FOXY OPENINGS - VOLUME 22 - English Defence
Grandmasters have recently discovered that the Ponziani is a useful surprise weapon, and in 2012 and 2013 the opening has been played frequently at the highest level. Even Magnus Carlsen has used it! Therefore at club level, a good knowledge of the tactics and strategical objectives that White has after 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 c3!?, could easily rack up the wins. There is a lot less to know and learn about the Ponziani than any of the Ruy Lopez, the Italian Game or the Scotch, which are White's three main open-game weapons. Thus the opening has a very practical element to it.
FOXY OPENINGS - VOLUME 151 - Crushing Black With The Deadly Ponziani
Repertoire for White with 1.d4. The tentacles of the Trompowski now reach out to 1...d5, keeping those Slav and Queen's Gambit players off balance. Independent theory developed by super-grandmasters that you will struggle to find in opening books!

On this DVD GM Ron W. Henley continues his popular Universal System for The Aggressive Black Player. 1.e4 g6 Bg7 2.d4 Bg7 3.Nc3 c5 4.c3 Covering lines against the often difficult to meet c3 Sicilian,Grand Prix Attack, Closed Sicilian and Scholar's mate.

One place where tiny p-values are important is in multiple-comparison tests, where you're applying some sort of Bonferroni-like correction or venturing into False Discovery rates and the like. If you stack enough tests on top of one another in a given analysis, its likely you'll meet that p-value cutoff of significance purely by chance... I've seen a fair number of presentations (powerpoint-"disabled" to boot) with lecturers implying the thermonuclear detonation of the null hypothesis (thanks for the image, Nick). It seems to me that in such instances rather than going after the null with such bloodthirsty vigour a better use of time would be spent looking at the alternative hypotheses (i.e., the variable accounts for no more than N% of the variance in the population measured) -JW -----Original Message----- From: Roger Newson [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Monday, December 01, 2003 8:43 AM To: email@example.com Subject: RE: st: logarithmic scales At 15:31 01/12/03 +0000, Nick Cox wrote: >I'd assert, perhaps very rashly, that beyond >some threshold, very low P-values are >practically indistinguishable. I suppose that >log P-value of -20 is often appealing as a kind of >thermonuclear demolition of a null hypothesis, but I wonder >if anyone would think differently of (say) -6.

A good discussion of this issue is given in Subsection 35.7 of Kirkwood and Sterne (2003), which is a basic text aimed mostly at non-mathematicians. This uses a Bayesian heuristic, based on the well-known result that the posterior odds between 2 hypotheses after the data analysis is equal to the prior odds between the same 2 hypotheses multiplied by the likelihood ratio between the 2 hypotheses. It is argued that a P-value below 0.003 is good enough for most of the people most of the time, because, *if* the prior odds are as bad as 100:1 against a nonzero population difference, *and* the power to detect a difference significant at P<=0.001 is as low as 0.5, *then* the posterior odds in favour of a nonzero population difference, given a P-value <=0.001, will be 5:1 in favour. This heuristic seems to make sense to me, if the P-value is for the parameter of prior interest in the study design protocol, because not many grant-awarding bodies will pay for a study for which they consider the prior odds of an interesting difference to be worse than 100:1 against. On the other hand, in the real world, with today's technology, it is nearly always cheaper to torture the data until they confess than to collect more data. Therefore, a lot of people's colleagues expect them to do "subset analyses from hell", and are reluctant to write up negative results as such. Therefore, an honest scientist who wants to accumulate publications is often not a data miner, but a "data lawyer", cross-examoining the data on the moral equivalent of a "no-win no-fee" contract. Under these conditions, a lot of statistically-minded scientists will forget what they learned at college, and do what they are told, and torture the data. If the P-value is from one of a sequence of subset analyses, and is undertaken posterior to a main analysis which found nothing, then, arguably, the "prior odds" against an interesting difference might reasonably be worse than 100:1 against.

This is a typical casino RV park with good facilities, excellant laundry, swimming pool, etc. If you are in a motorhome of any length spring for a few extra bucks and get a 70' pull thru site otherwise the 40' sites are very close together. We have stayed here 3 times and have not seen a reason to look anywhere else.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
There is really no reason to stay anywhere else during a visit to Lubbock, overnight or otherwise. We checked in after an unpleasant experience at another park close by and were very happy we did so. All facilities are as advertised and despite the traffic relatively close by it was quiet. Also very reasonable rates. May seem close to some but I watched three 40' rigs plug up with no problem. We will definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
We tried to spend the night in a 35" rig. Very confusing entry and if you follow the signs to the office, you are going to wind up in a dead end, take the car off and turn around situation. The office closes at 5:00PM. When we called the office number, we were assigned a circular pull through, and told to stick the money in the door. When we found the spot, it was on a slope too steep for my jacks to handle. I departed and found another park. This one is adequate, mostly permanent residences, all facilities. I just won't stay here anymore, too much of a hassle when there is a really good park right around the corner.
Date of Stay: May, 2010
An excellent spot for an over night stay. Shady, level, pull-throughs. Gravel interior roads a little rough in spots, go slow, gravel sites. This is our second stay here, once for an overnight, now we are staying for three days to wait out the Memorial Day madness. It's close to I-40 but the noise is tolerable and close to an airport that seems to be seldom used. We are enjoying a peaceful stay and would stay here again.
Date of Stay: May, 2010
An older KOA that has been maintained and upgraded. Offers all of the standard amenities plus pizza in the office and free coffee in the morning. Gravel interior roads and sites which are level. My only comment is that it is a bit pricey. It seems that all of the KOA's are at the high end of the rate scale, that's why we avoid them when we can. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: May, 2010
The negative comments in previous reviews are valid to some extent. There is a sewage treatment plant but we never smelled it, the pet walk is across the street but we don't have pets, there is some traffic noise and the train comes by at 5:30 in the morning. That being said, this is a park of semi-permanent (permanent?) residents that is in an urban environment. It is clean and offers all of the normal amenities and has perfect facilities for those that want an easy off-on one or two (or more)night park at a very reasonable price. We have stayed here twice, once last year for a week and this time for five days and would stay here again. Just keep in mind that they call themselves a RV PARK, not a resort.
Date of Stay: May, 2010
OK for an overnight. Level concrete pads for pull-throughs, easy in and out, maybe a little narrow. NO Verizon cell phone service. NO Verizon wireless available. NO cable TV but good broadcast TV and we didn't go there for the TV or cell phone anyway, just a quick overnight stop. A little pricey for what is offered. We would stop here again.
Date of Stay: March, 2010
All the necessities at a reasonable PA fee. No picnic tables, no fire ring, etc., but a good overnight spot if you are traveling through, or here for the shopping at the discount mall. Has gravel access roads, grass sites but spacious and comfortable. Owners live on the premises and a very helpful campground host gets you parked. We stayed here three nights at the Passport America rate and an additional night at the regular rate of $30 which is a little pricey for the facilities offered but there are very reasonable weekly and monthly rates available. We will stay here again.
Date of Stay: December, 2009
Excellent overnight spot with easy access from I-10 or for 2-3 nights to visit Naval Aviation Museum as we did. Closest and easiest to the museum via the back gate. Good paved interior roads, level, gravel pull-thrus. Will stay there again.
Date of Stay: September, 2009
Excellent park for an overnight stay at a very reasonable price. Interstate is close by but the noise is not noticeable. Long pull through sites with some concrete pads.

Burps with heartworm prevention
My recent adopted dog burps throughout the day. Seems burps more after eats. Perhaps, twice within 5min after food. little less during a day but still here and there.
She is having Heartworm treatment right now. Had her shots 1 week ago for her mild stage of heartworm.
Also, slighty seems a bit larger on the left side of chest where ribs are.
Otherwise, she eats well. Acting okay. Just timid and scared trying to get used to us.
Does anyone know anything about burps?
I know coughs will be little bad thing to have and I dont think it is a cough. Hope its not.
Appreciated your guidance.

Slowing down it eating may help. There are not one, but 2 easy, tested, effective ways to control rapid eating. You can spread the food out on a cookie sheet or something. Some of my friends just throw it on the floor of the crate. You can put large rocks in the food dish, much to big to swallow. Either way, the dog can't gulp down one big mouthful after another.
I would work at slowing down the eating and waiting for the heartworm treatment to wear off. If it is still a problem you want to fix, the vet should be able to do more. My friend's dog has to have a powder added to its food to control burping.

Local legend holds that Weymouths popularity as a seaside destination for Britons was secured late in the 18th century when King George III came seeking a cure to what hed been told was a nervous disorder. Bathing in the waters here soothed the king, and the royals began making the trek several times a year after that. These days its a distinctly different nervous disorder that has prompted a cadre of dedicated sailors to migrate to this venerable port in the early fall each year, bringing with them all manner of speed-sailing contraptions. Yes, the need for speed is a powerful force, and this year it has gripped the imaginations of at least 36 contestants bent on ratcheting up the sailing sped record.
According to Nick Povey, Robert Downhill, and Bob Spagnoletti, the volunteer triumvirate that organizes this annual gathering, there are two records at stakethe outright speed sailing record owned by Lindsay Cunninghams Yellow Pages Endeavour (46.52 knots) and the local Portland record of 36 knots, set by Tim Colemans Crossbow in 1980. Apart from a smattering of personal bests, their gathering hasnt turned up a new record in some time, but the excitement at Speed Week grew to an early crescendo on Monday when sailboard contestant Nick Beaney broke the 35-knot barrier, logging a top speed of 35.22 knots. The action took place during one of 33 runs that Beaney attempted that day, most of which topped 30 knots. Beaney was sailing a custom speed board with a seven square meter sail, the beneficiary of 25-knot winds that often gusted to 30.
Povey and his partners, along with various volunteers, spend the week monitoring speeds on two courses. Theres a short course (about 200 meters) adjacent the beach) and a 500 meter course further out on the harbor. On the longer course, two boats are stationed at either end with the organizers having used a laser range finder to establish the course distance. Timing devices aboard both boats are linked via radio, and once the green flag goes up, sailors are free to take runs down the course at 10-second intervals. Competitors can see the printed results of their runs shortly afterward, along with a sailing speed to wind speed ratio in case theyd like to modify their technique in an attempt to achieve greater speed.
"The slipways seem to have as many earnest discussions about the esoterics of sailboat design as there are boats," said an enthusiastic Povey. "Generally there is a great atmosphere here with evening social events and much talk of the days activities and future plans." And its not just the players who are sharing their ideas says Povey. Numerous onlookersinventors or boat tinkerersdrop by to offer their two cents about the best approach to achieving speed under sail
Compared to recent editions of Speed Week, the on-the-water results thus this week far have been pretty encouraging. "Its hard to get just the right conditions," explains Povey. But if any place can provide ideal speed sailing its Portland Harbour, which is bounded on its southwestern side (the direction from which the prevailing wind blows) by Chesil Bank, a huge natural breakwater that stops the waves but not the wind. Within the harbor the water remains mostly smooth as the wind blasts across.
With a strict emphasis on speed, another unique aspect about Weymouth Speed Week is that there are no restrictions. Povey and his partners believe that "the lack of rules for determining seaworthiness, controllability, or practicality provides the ideal proving ground for both experts and dreamers to build the type of boats, which, but for Weymouth Speed Week, would never see the light of day." Boats, boards, and all sorts of contraptionsas long as theyre sail-poweredparticipants are encouraged to bring them.
The event's open policy fosters a broad range of experimentation, as evidenced by the diverse nature of the entries. And you never know where the next breakthrough in the sport might come from; the next Olin Stephens just might be lurking among this varied group of nonconformists. "Most of these types are sailors first," explains Povey of the competitors, "but theyre not conventional." From where I stand, thats OK. In fact its good news.

Timothy Wilson, MD

Write a review
Are you a patient of Timothy Wilson, MD?
5 out of 5 stars Breast Reconstruction
Almost Finished - Knoxville, TN
They took time to answer all my questions and explain everything that was going to happen. I received numerous calls at home after my surgery to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. They made me feel more like family than a patient. I saw another plastic surgeon here in Knoxville and He just told me what he was going to do and when to come back the day before my surgery. He had no bed side manor,I had just found out I had cancer, was was the compassion ? I was sick when I left there. I canceled my surgery and found Dr. Tim Wilson, that was the best decision that I have ever made.
35 Year Old with 15 Year Old Breast Implants Has Lost over 60 Lbs and Seeks to Lift, Using the Existing Implants. Knoxville, TN
Dr. Wilson gave me the perfect boob job. Many friends of mine anded up getting their breasts done by him because of my results. Beautiful shape and were easily seen as real. He once told me that he does this by making a bigger submuscular pocket for the implant than other surgeons. My incision through the lower half of my areola healed up very nicely and hardly noticeable. The only complaint in the world that I can come up with is that due to cutting through the nipple, I lost some areolar sensation. Not to give you TMI, but the only time this bothers me is during sex when my nipples won't stay erect. I'm constantly pinching them so my fiance won't think I'm not into it. Luckily, he understands and is willing to help me out, too. :-)

Sony had a strong showing during the busy holiday shopping season, the company announced last night.
Between November 21 and January 5 in Japan and Asia, and November 21 and December 31 in North America, the company sold 6.5 million PlayStation hardware units worldwide. That figure takes into account sales of the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation 2.
PlayStation 3 sales were especially strong, hitting 3.9 million units worldwide during the shopping season. Sony also announced that it sold 500,000 units of its new portable, the PlayStation Vita, across Japan and Asia. And although that device is replacing Sony's PSP, the company said that the last-generation portable was still able to reach 1.6 million unit sales during the shopping season.
Although Sony didn't break out PlayStation 2 sales, some simple math reveals that the company likely sold about 500,000 units of the console. That's especially impressive, considering Sony launched the PlayStation 2 over 11 years ago. Its longevity is rare in the gaming world.
But for now, Sony's focus is on the PlayStation 3. And on that front, the company seems especially bullish, saying that its strong holiday sales have helped keep it on pace to hit its annual sales target of 15 million units. To put that figure into perspective, Sony sold 14.3 million PlayStation 3 units during its previous fiscal year, and 13 million units the 12-month period before that.
That said, Sony isn't necessarily out of the woods. The PlayStation 3 is still being outsold by the Xbox 360 each month in the U.S., and there is little chance of that changing anytime soon. Plus, with Nintendo launching the Wii U later this year, there's a strong possibility Sony could find its console sales start to slump as consumers shift their spending to the Wii U.
But luckily for Sony, as it showed yesterday at its CES press conference, the company is about more than just video games. However, it did take some time to reconfirm one important detail to gamers: its PlayStation Vita will be launching in the States on February 22.

If it's psychotic for Joe Blow to murder people who reject him, then it's psychotic for God to send to hell people who reject him. God's justice is not founded upon dynamics or principles that have nothing to with our own understanding of justice. Fair is fair—and right is right, and evil is evil—in heaven and on earth.
In short: God's no psycho.

I'm with C.S. Lewis on this one:
"There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, in the end, 'Thy will be done.' All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened. "
― C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce
- Allie
Lewis also quotes George MacDonald. I don't have the quote but it's to the effect that if you read in the Bible that God did something that you can't reconcile with not being evil, it's better to believe God never did or said that thing than to believe evil of God.

I have a feeling there is more that you haven't said here.
"No one comes to the Father but by Me" (paraphrased because I can't be buggered to get up and search for the correct wording) – to me, that means that Jesus has the last word. Not Jerry Falwell, some legalistic church in some tiny town, not Billy Graham, not even the pastor who married you & your spouse and is a really nice guy.
If Jesus meets the dearly departed at the Gates and says, "Yes, you – by the way, the Ella Fitzgerald show starts in ten minutes in the lounge, and we're serving homemade guacamole & margaritas, so get on in there" – who am I to squawk if the chosen one is Muslim, Jewish, Jehovah's Witness, agnostic, or whatever? It ain't up to me.

God's love and justice is of the same type as it is for us. Exactly. Otherwise, saying that God is loving or just is meaningless. Otherwise, Jesus wouldn't tell us to love others as He has loved them. Otherwise, we wouldn't pray thy will be done on earth and in heaven and continue to follow love and justice as we know it. Eternal punishment for finite sin? (as I've heard it phrased) We would never tolerate it. The punishment must fit the crime.
- Nathan
Agree with Buzz here – C.S. Lewis is amazing. John, I sure hope you have read "The Great Divorce" and "The Problem of Pain" before publishing any serious work on Hell. I completely agree that the "traditional" view of Hell is both outdated and somewhat nonsensical. But that is merely a strawman. The great theologians of Christendom have a much more nuanced and complex view that is worthy of intellectual and emotional satisfaction. (without throwing the concept of hell out the window!)
A couple quick points off the top of my head:
1) The whole idea of heaven and free-choice is nonsensical to me without a hell. What is the point of free-choice unless we really DO have the possibility to reject Him?
2) It is emotionally (and intellectually) very difficult to argue AGAINST a hell when studying the extreme human atrocities of history. (Think Nazi Germany, Roman persecution, and Babylonian brutality)
3) The entire sacrificial death of Jesus makes no sense without a Hell. What penalty did Christ pay? Why didn't God just forgive? Why did Christ have to die? The Bible is clear: He died IN OUR PLACE. Without the POSSIBILITY of Hell, then why did he die at all?
4) We don't have just the writings of Paul warning us about Hell: We have the teachings of JESUS warning us. What sense to the warnings of Jesus make unless, in fact, there are eternal consequences of our behaviour? I can (with caution) dismiss some of Paul's teachings. But reject the teachings of Jesus? Really?
I'm all for "postmortem salvation" or "purgatory" or other ways to make the system seem more fair. But we can't throw out the entire idea. Either Jesus was giving us a glimpse of reality, or he was lying.
- Lymis
Nathan, I do recommend you actually read John's book.
But honestly, heaven is nonsense without hell? The idea that a flawed, limited human being can do anything in the limited time we have available (what is 100 years as set against literally all of eternity) that would justify eternal torment?
That's a bit like saying that having manners are nonsense if you aren't thrown into solitary confinement and given daily electroshock torture for using the wrong fork to eat your salad.
As genuinely horrible as human behavior can be, one of the fundamental principles of the Christian worldview is that our souls are the most important part of us, that nothing can be done to us that God cannot soothe and heal, and that nothing we can do as humans is something we cannot repent and be forgiven for. So God can fully heal the victims of the worst that can be done to them, and God can forgive the perpetrators of the worst crimes we are capable of. We need to police ourselves and work for justice while we live; it doesn't follow that Divine forgiveness is nonsense.
And, while a lot of people will definitely disagree with me on this, it's the idea that Jesus's death was a sacrificial substitution as a blood sacrifice that makes no sense. His life, death, and Resurrection were essential, but that explanation for it isn't. It simply places too many absurd restrictions on God, most of which are out of character for God in the first place.
"Either Jesus was giving us a glimpse of reality, or he was lying." Or something else entirely was going on, that we aren't equipped to fully understand. And of course, that's even assuming that he was quoted properly by people writing generations after he died.
- Nathan
Lymis, I think that the last sentence you wrote is the root of our disagreement here. (and perhaps my disagreement with John) I believe that the Bible should be our PRIMARY source of truth. Our logic and conscience should be a SECONDARY source of truth. I think that you (and perhaps John) reverse the priority of those two.
Also, I disagree with the "generations after he died" statement as well. Most scholars date Mark to just 30 years after Jesus's death. Matthew and Luke just a bit later, and even John was within the lifetime of Jesus's followers.
Again, I firmly believe that the fundamentalist doctrine of Hell is very misguided. However, if our primary source of truth is the Bible (and I believe that it is), then we have to deal with Jesus's teachings head-on. We can't just assume that he was misquoted or misinterpreted. And I particularly take issue with your statement that sacrificial substitution makes no sense. It ONLY makes no sense if you start out by assuming that Hell doesn't exist! It makes complete sense if you assume that it DOES exist.
I start my philosophy with the Bible and THEN work in my logic and conscience. As such, I see no way around the reality of some sort of Hell (or annihilationism). I won't pretend to know who is going there and who isn't. But I won't deny it's existence, as much as I would *love* to do so.
- Lymis
Well, and I know that this will feel like snark to a lot of people, I start my philosophy with the Living God who speaks to me daily, in my heart, in the world around me, in my mind, and in the clear and obvious consequences of lack of love and the clear and obvious consequences of abundant and profligate love in the lives of people around me, not in a book, no matter how special it is.
I see that as the same fundamental challenge that Jesus addressed when he told the Pharisees to put down the book that they thought was the primary source of their philosophy and start paying attention the the needs of their neighbors.
If that's where we part company, then so be it. The Holy Spirit working in our hearts should be – must be- the primary source of truth. We even need the Holy Spirit to help us interpret Scripture. The choice isn't between the Bible and logic. It's between a living faith and a book.
I don't worship the Bible. Jesus isn't dead, requiring us to follow the words in a book. I have a relationship with a living Person. If that makes me not a Christian by your standards, you won't be the first person to say so.
- Nathan
No, absolutely not. I didn't (by any stretch) say that I believe you aren't a Christian. We're all on some sort of a spiritual journey. The only "mistake" we can make is to ignore the spiritual reality that is put in front of us. In spite of our differences, I actually feel pretty comfortable with many of the commentors on this website (including you) precisely BECAUSE you recognize a spiritual reality that is both around us and within us. We both agree that this spiritual reality can be found within the Bible, with our conscience (the Holy Spirit), and within creation itself. We just disagree about the priority of those three. I think we have a lot more in common than in conflict, for sure.
Anyway, I'll agree that this issue is probably where we part company. I think that the Bible has authority over my conscience while you feel the reverse. That's fair.
One word of caution. Probably this is something you've already thought of. By listening to my heart alone, it is very easy to simply "create God in MY image" rather than the God who IS. That's why I (try to) start with the Bible and THEN work on how my conscience and logic makes sense of it.
All the best in our searching for the right answer! I genuinely believe God rewards those who diligently search. In my book it's only those that are arrogant enough to believe that they have "all the answers" that are truly in danger.
- Lymis
You know, I suspect you meant well, but every time you make a concession like "gosh, I'll grant that maybe you are a Christian, too" with one hand, I've noticed that you have a habit of immediately completely undercutting it and taking it away with the other hand. I've seen you do it in almost ever post you write.
Have you any idea whatsoever how very condescending it is to say "probably something you've already thought of" and then point out something as incredibly basic as the fact that it's easy to map ourselves onto our image of God? That's really right up there with asking if I've read the Bible or ever prayed at all.
How you could read what I've written, even if it's only the things I've written specifically to you, and not realize I've dealt with things like that and far more in my life, eludes me. I've been dealing with that question in various forms for decades.
What comes across seems to be the assumption that if I had thought about these basic ideas, well, then, of course I would have come to the same conclusions that you have, so I must be so very, very, very far behind you on the journey to God that you are justified in patting me on the head and reminding me to search diligently, with the backhanded implication that since my conclusions are not the same as yours, that I'm the one who is arrogant enough to believe I have all the answers.
In other words, this last comment of yours can be summed up as "I would never by any stretch say you aren't a Christian, but I will say you are arrogant and in danger of damnation for what you think you know, as long as you insist on disagreeing with me."
If that's your intention, and you think you're doing it subtly enough that we heathens won't notice your condescension, please think again. If that isn't your intention, you might want to rethink your approach.
From your responses to people, I imagine you think that most of the negative reactions you get are logical hostility to your deep theological insights, when as I see it, they are generally in response to your patronizing and condescending tone. Even if all your beliefs are right and all of ours are wrong, you aren't serving anyone by putting people off with every post you write.
And, often, as it was here, ironically amusing, because this post reeks with the clear implication that you are the one with all the answers, and are here to kindly remind us all how wrong we are. I invite you to read your own advice.
- Nathan
I'm sorry for my condensation. I assure you it was unintentional. My last paragraph was not referring to you at all. I was actually referring to the vast majority of Americans that seem both ignorant of and indifferent to spirituality.
You've obviously thought through your beliefs thoroughly, as I have. My beliefs aren't "better" than yours. I was simply trying to explain why I don't agree with you. I'm sorry that it came across in a derogatory way.
You're being given a gift of awareness by extremely – extremely patient people who are offering you a tremendous amount of Grace .
It's great that you're here. Great that you're wrestling with this. You can also, walk away the second you get offended or your intention isn't the thing that people focus on.
For you Nathan, this topic can stay at the "idea" level where people can just "agree to disagree" and walk away, their lives totally untouched. Where for people like Lymis, they're going to get punched in the stomach today because people like you with your beliefs in North Carolina are going to vote for an amendment where he can't see his dying husband in the hospital. So to see you continue to wrestle with this at a "hey let's just kind of bounce these ideas around and if we disagree, let's just make sure we all respect one another" is a tough thing to watch (especially today).
I can only pray that you're taking this as an opportunity of being a student of Christians here, Nathan, instead of a teacher. I can only pray that you're letting all of this sink in, that you are beginning to grasp how serious this is.
- Allie
Y'all, you're right, but please remember this isn't easy. There are people posting on this blog who have struggled for decades with the idea that being gay is sinful, while being gay and thus having every motivation to overcome that belief. Nathan's been here about a week now and these ideas are new to him, give him a bit.
- Lymis
Good point.
Nathan, let me take the opportunity to thank you for seriously considering this issue and taking the time to question whether you need to rethink your beliefs. Far too few people do that, and it's easy not to give people credit for doing so.
You're right. Thank you.
You are an extraordinarily patient human being.
One word of caution. Probably this is something you've already thought of. By listening to my heart alone, it is very easy to simply "create God in MY image" rather than the God who IS. That's why I (try to) start with the Bible and THEN work on how my conscience and logic makes sense of it.>>>
Why in the world would you say something like this. Sigh.
- Nathan
DR, I say it because I believe it to be true. It is something I struggle with all the time. I would LOVE to believe exactly like you do. But I *CANNOT* because I am absolutely convinced that I need to take the Bible as the inspired word of God. Maybe someday I'll find out I am wrong. So be it.
I try to be open minded. I don't have all the answers. My beliefs don't make complete sense, I agree. But no one's beliefs make sense 100% of the time. We wrestle with the truth – that's all we can do.
I've been "sticking around" on this website really for two reasons. First, I am genuinely interested in learning how Christianity can play out in a very different worldview than I typically live in. If Christianity is true (and I believe that it is), then it has to be relevant across cultural barriers. This website is a reminder that the Christian community is much broader than my "traditional" view has been.
Secondly, I have been frequenting this website as a representative of conservative Christianity. John (and others) frequently build up a "caricature" of a Christian and then tear it down. (a "strawman") I'm standing here as the real thing. If you want to tare something down, tare me down! Let's not kid ourselves that Christians are a bunch of buffoons. There are many (MANY) conservative Christians who are trying their darned best to integrate their belief in the inspired-Bible into the culture in which we find ourselves. That's me. I have some mixed up beliefs. My beliefs shift. I am a hypocrit. We all are. But I believe in the Bible as the word of God and I wrestle with how to take it seriously and not just "dismiss" something in the Bible because it is hard to believe.
- Allie
Let's look at that word "inspired," because I believe the Bible is the inspired word of God too, without having to believe the Bible is inerrant.
Look, a while ago Copernicus noticed the earth went around the sun instead of the sun around the earth, and that was a big problem for people, because there were Bible verses that said the sun "stood still in the sky," and there's a line in a psalm that says the earth is firmly fixed and cannot be moved. Today, most everyone who is not insane has conceded the earth does orbit the sun. Those verses aren't a problem for believers anymore. And it seems laughable and silly to us that they ever were. The psalm writer was talking about the awesome majesty of God, not giving a physics lesson! And if time stopped, the sun w0uld appear to stand still, and that's a perfectly reasonable way for a man to put it in ancient times, it's not like he knew any better.
They wrote as they did because they didn't know what we know now.
And so do the Biblical writers on the subject of sexuality.
How many gay people do you know, personally? How many have you had long, meaningful conversations with about their sexuality and their motivations? The average human being has about a dozen close friends. That means the average straight person is likely to know about one gay person well enough to sit out under the stars with him and have long talks.
There's a reason this – the explosion of gay awareness and gay rights – is happening RIGHT NOW. It's happening because of a technology shift, a shift as magnificent as the invention of the birth control pill allowing a total change in attitudes towards the position of women in society. You are here, talking to dozens of gay individuals, who are telling you what THEY think, what they feel. Paul didn't have that. Paul heard about gratuitous sexual behavior at orgies and saw flamboyant male prostitutes on the street and maybe heard sob stories from women in his congregation whose husbands didn't love them. You, at this moment, are ten thousand times more educated about human sexuality than it was possible to be in the first century. The result of this is that some of the things people wrote then were wrong, just plain wrong.
- Nathan
Allie, I am coming around to agreeing with you on the issue of sexuality. But the issue of Hell is really the one being discussed here. There are just too many references to Hell (and "God's wrath", "sheep and goats", etc) to ignore. Especially considering that many of those remarks are by Jesus himself.
I agree about inspiration. Inspiration and inerrancy are not the same, but many Christians do confuse them.
- Allie
Well, I'm not sure I agree with John on Hell either. But there's this, Isaiah ch 55:
Seek ye Jehovah while he may be found; call ye upon him while he is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto Jehovah, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith Jehovah. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, and giveth seed to the sower and bread to the eater; so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Seems to me that in this verse God is saying that he will save people, period, and that saying he will fail in saving some of them is insulting him.
- http://Www.unnameablecuriosity.wordpress.com Christine
I can appreciate that, Nathan.
But what exactly do you mean by "conservative Christianity"?
- http://Www.unnameablecuriosity.wordpress.com Christine
I won't cover the general tone of condecesion. Lymis said it better than I could and you apologize. Nuff said.
But I do want to point out one aspect of your comment that is both offensive and difficult to defend.
First, tou CANNOT assume that just because someone comes to a different conclusion than you that they are in some way prioritizing something else over scripture. That COULD be true, but often times people are simply interpreting scripture different. Speaking from experience, it is remarkable frustrating to point out an alternate view of scripture only to be told that I disagree because I'm not relying on scripture.
Second, you CANNOT at all assume that just because you start with the bible that that somehoe makes you any less likely to create God in your image. The bible can be interpreted in such vastly different ways and people will always (though intentionally) bring their presuppositions to the text. You are no less vulnerable on that count for having "prioritized" the way you do.
- http://Www.unnameablecuriosity.wordpress.com Christine
1. Why does rejection require hell exactly? I didn't choose to be on earth. That doesn't mean to don't have free will why I'm here.
2. I have studied them. So what? Where is forgiving our neighbors and loving our enemies supposed to end exactly? If forgiveness can still be justice, why does that work for little things but not big things? Why can't limitless love be, well, limitless?
3. What about having no choice but to wallow in our sins here and now? What about a reconciliation in this life? What about a demonstration of Jesus' teachings in action? What about allowing for the ultimate miracle and the ultimate symbol of our rebirth?
4. We INTERPRET those words as hell. We see them as literal fires, but what if it is entirely metaphorical? Not just fire as a metaphor for, say, pain, but misery in this life or a way of illustrating uselessness or worthlessness. The concept of hell would have been foreign to that context, so why was it not more explicit?
I'm not sure throwing out the concept is the right way to go either. But you don't need to go outside the bible to see that throwing it out should be an option for serious consideration.
- Diana A.
I've read "The Great Divorce" and "The Problem of Pain." I've also read a book by Thomas Talbott called "The Inescapable Love of God." It is because of Talbott's book that I consider myself to be a Christian Universalist.
Talbott uses both scripture and logic to support his view that God is both willing and able to reconcile all sinners to himself and that therefore all sinners will be reconciled with God eventually.
I don't consider it a good idea to take God for granted. But I also think it's unwise to put time limits (or any other limits) on God's love. Nothing is impossible for God. That's the bottom line.

I think C.S. Lewis would agree that everyone who wants to be saved (however one understands it) will be saved. But there will be those who will be lost, too. They tend to be the self-centered, selfish ones. If they can not stop worshipping their own ego, they can't start to relate to God.
In The Great Divorce lost souls in Hell are capable of leaving anytime and going to Heaven. They just won't get on the bus (not a metaphor; read the book).
- Lymis
I've always felt that the parable of the Prodigal Son applies. As long as people wallow in their misery and refuse to be forgiven, they will be in hell. As soon as they ask, they will be.
Nobody and nothing can exist entirely cut off from God, or they wouldn't be subject to God at all, even for their very existence. And as long as that connection is there, the possibility of salvation exists. Nobody can be lost, because God will always know right where they are.
- Diana A.
- Matt
The human concept of Earthly justice is way, way too small to encompass God, who knows every single thought that crosses every single human heart, past, present, and future.
I don't know what God chooses to do with the likes of Hitler, serial killers, and so on. I don't know, and it's not my job to know. I just focus on living my life the way I think They would want me to.

A femur bone from a human leg that was found by a camper last weekend along the Lake Michigan shoreline at Silver Lake State Park, near Mears, Mich., about 65 miles northwest of Grand Rapids.
MEARS, Mich. — Authorities say a bone from a human leg has been found along the Lake Michigan shoreline in western Michigan.
Radio station WGHN and The Muskegon Chronicle report Oceana County sheriff's deputies responded Saturday to call from a person staying at a camp in the Mears area, about 65 miles northwest of Grand Rapids.
They say a camper from Hillsdale was walking along the water at Silver Lake State Park when he found what turned out to be a femur bone.
A state police anthropologist has confirmed that the bone was from a human. It's been sent to the state police forensic lab for testing.

Upper West Side
Upper West, from Central Park West to the Hudson River, 59th Street (excluding Columbus Circle) to 110th Street.
Every ten blocks of the Upper West Side seem to have its own character. The 70s and 80s have their share of "Classic Six" prewar apartments (that's two bedrooms, a living room, dining room, and kitchen plus a room for the maid or domestic staff, sometimes used as a home office) as opposed to a "Classic Seven," which has all these rooms in addition to another bedroom. Along Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side, some grand-scale apartment buildings with magnificent river views perfectly match the street's name. Meanwhile, the southern bit of the Upper West Side embraces the Time Warner Center, which has some of the most spectacular luxury condos in the city, along with high-end shops like Coach and Hugo Boss, once-in-a-lifetime eateries like Per Se, and a giant subterranean Whole Foods that seems to have the capability to hold every resident of the Upper West Side at once.

Butch Walker: New CD & @ The Loft Nov 10th
One of the more anticipated shows of next month is Butch Walker's Monday Nov 10th appearance at the Loft. That week will be a special one for Walker, as he will not only be touring, but also releasing his new album Sycamore Meadows the day following his Atlanta appearance.
Striking out on his own as a solo artist has been an exciting choice for Butch. Many are aware of his success as a front man (Marvelous 3, Butch Walker and The Let's Go Out Tonites,) but less publicized is Walker's stellar work as a producer and writer. It is in this role that Butch has been directly involved with some of today's most popular tunes, from Katy Perry to Fall Out Boy, Pink, Avril Lavigne and more.
For a sample of Butch's solo work, download his first single The Weight of Her for free at Amazon by clicking HERE

NPR reviewed Robert Putnam and David Campbell's book, American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us, today. The book examines how religion has changed since America's founding, with countless new denominations such as the Mormon church and emergence of megachurches. The book attributes interfaith marriages to the tolerance of diverse faiths.
The most significant change in the religious landscape, the authors say, is the emergence of the "nones;" that is, people who are not affiliated with any religion. In NPR's review,
One of the biggest changes over the past 20 years has been that more and more Americans, when polled, cite no religious affiliation at all. That group, which Putnam and Campbell call the "the nones," "has been skyrocketing actually in the last 15, 20 years," Putnam says.
So it's now, roughly speaking, 35 percent [to] 40 percent of younger Americans … who say that they have no religious affiliation."
That's a big change. For many years, the researchers say, only about 5 to 7 percent of Americans felt they belonged to no religion. The shift, Putnam says, is "a quite novel and interesting, significant development."
The researchers say that during the Eisenhower era, the link between voting and religion was non-existent. Nowadays, however, the intensity of religious commitment, not necessarily the denomination, is associated with politics. The politicization has resulted in an adjustment of people's faiths. The article continues,
One big reason for that growth among the nones is precisely such an adjustment.
"There's been a kind of a quiet backlash among young people against this politicization of religion," says Putnam. And as a result, young liberal-minded people have often ended up avoiding religion because they associate it with conservative Republicanism.

Bodegas Muga Torre Muga 2004
Tempranillo from Rioja, Spain
Winemaker's Notes
Number 11 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 of 2007!
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2004 Torre Muga is not as powerful as the 2005 but displays better aromatics. It is loaded with spicy fruit with great depth and concentration, impeccable balance, and a lengthy, pure finish. Give it another 4-5 years of bottle age and drink it through 2034. "
Wine Spectator - "Plush and harmonious, this red is alluring yet subtle, with intense flavors backed by an impressive structure. Look for black currant, cocoa, cigar box and mineral notes now, and expect further complexity as this evolves. Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano. "
Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "Saturated ruby. Exotically perfumed, syrah-like bouquet of red and dark berries, violet, smoky bacon and graphite, with a vanillin oak spice undertone adding an exotic touch. Fleshy, palate-staining cassis and bitter cherry flavors are brightened by piquant minerality and firmed by fine-grained tannins. Cracked pepper and mace qualities come up on the long, silky finish. Extremely suave and strikingly complex wine with excellent balance. "
Wine & Spirits - "A selection from Muga's oldest vineyards in Villalba, Torre Muga packs all the machismo of an alta expresión wine, chewy, dense and powerful. It lasts on tough, mineral-inflected tannin and generous black cherry flavor, the fruit component substantial enough to fill the structure completely. It's balanced in its power, juicy and firm, needing years to fully develop."
Wine Enthusiast - "This seems eminently ageworthy; it has the strong foundation and pulsing acidity required of a true cellar dweller. The raspberry and plum fruit have a beam of acidity and the tannins are not shy. Shows all the hallmarks of a fine modern Rioja: power, purity and balance. "

Bodegas Muga Winery
The Muga wine cellars were founded in 1932 by Isaac Muga Martínez who originated from a family with strong ties to the winemaking industry. On the death of the founder in 1969, his children Manuel, Isabel and Isaac Muga Caño took over the reins.
Two years later in 1971, they moved their headquarters to their present location in the traditional Station District on the outskirts of Haro. Bodegas Muga has continued to grow as the years have passed but it has never lost the spirit or aptitude of a family-run company.
The winery controls every step of the viticultural and vinification process from the vineyards to making their own barrels and fermenting and aging the wine entirely in oak. Muga is one of only six estates in the world that owns its own cooperage and they import the oak directly from the United States and France. Bodegas Muga is one of the oldest, most elegant and traditional Rioja producers. View all Bodegas Muga Wines
About RiojaView a map of Rioja wineries (ree-OH-hah) Spain makes some of the best Tempranillo-based wines in the world. Once the only DOCa (recently joined by Priorat in 2001), Rioja is divided into 3 sub-regions: Rioja Baja, Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa. There are 4 red varieties and 3 white varieties allowed in the Rioja DOC. Tempranillo definitely takes center stage, followed by Garnacha (Grenache), which is sometimes added for body, then Graciano and Mazuelo (Carignan). The region also makes roses. For whites, the main grape is Viura (or Macebo), producing fresh, early-drinking wines. Malvasia, the grape that was once the most planted white, is found less often.
Notable FactsThe Rioja wine trade is somewhat confusing. Grapes are typically brought to a merchant's bodega from one of the 20,000+ growers in the region, or via a cooperative. The wine is then bottled and labelled by that bodega. Rioja's Consejo Regulador keeps track of all vineyards and bodegas to make sure they are following the DOCa regulations. Put in place to ensure quality, the system also controls prices.
As with the rest of Spain, the wine label may state Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, depending on barrel & bottle maturation. Crianzas are usually found within two years of the vintage and offer fresh, ripe wines. Reserva and Gran Reserva will be found a few years after the vintage, as the bodega will be aging the wines in barrel and bottle before release. Both typically show more secondary characteristics of spice and oak ageing.
About Spain
The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino and Verdejo. The popular red regions of Spain include Rioja, known for its outstanding wines of the Tempranillo grape; Ribera del Duero, producing high quality reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha; Galacia, with the sub-region of Rias Baixas, home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino grape; and Priorat, a region increasing in popularity with its high-quality cult reds. Other regions of note are Rueda, growing the Verdejo grape, La Mancha, a wide desert region, covered in the most planted white variety in the world, Airen, and Jumilla, making wines based on Monastrell (Mourvedre).
Spain's wine laws are based on the Denominacion de Origen (DO) classification system, devised in the 1930's. A four tiered system, the most basic level is Vina de Mesa (table wine) followed by Vino de la Tierra (country wine), DO and at the top DOC. Currently, only Rioja and Priorat have DOC status, while over 65 DO's scatter the country.
Most DO regions are classified and regulated by how long they age the wines. On a red wine label, one may find the terms Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, denoting the wine's barrel and bottle time. Crianza is usually two years between barrel and bottle (the time in each depends on the DO and/or the winemaker), Reserva up to 4 years and Gran Reserva 5 – 6 years. Classifications of each region and wine are controlled by the region's Consejo Regulador.

Don't get me wrong I love him too. But just slow down a bit...
This part of your argument doesn't make sense. You say that Kane has the best passing ability in the game but he does it against men, well, once upon a time Kane was doing the same thing drouin is doing now(scoring at a higher rate however) and he was drafted 1st overall because of his skills and his dominance on the ice. You can't say drouin is overrated because people are comparing him to Kane and giroux, when he is dominating just as they were. Right now it's only comparisons no one is saying he will be as good as them.

Like the car, even the color. Just not crazy about the wheels.

I hope this one reaches the level that the green one was at. That thing was MEAN!!!
Good luck, looks like you are off to a good start.

blue + purple + flames = sweet
pimp wheels + 20 aspect ratio tires = bad
The thing that is cool about your WRX it's original. Nice. I like the purple and think that one in teh back ground is nice. Do whatever you do. It all comes down to now everyone will know you and you won't be just another subaru wrx driver. Good Job and keep up the good work
Get your lincense plate to say FLAMEON. Flame on like the human torch

I like the car and color, but not the wheels. Do you have any pics of how it was done? Did you do the jams, underbody, and engine compartment? Were the doors gutted and all the glass removed?

Blast From The Past: Dark Horse's 'Insane' Comedy Mag
Given the publisher's resounding success with both creator-owned series like "Hellboy," "Concrete" and "The Umbrella Academy," as well as licensed properties like "Star Wars," "Alien" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," it's easy to forget Dark Horse Comics' shall we say, more humble roots.
That's why the profile of 1988's "Insane" at Seenallover has such an overwhelming sense of charm.
While the cover to this issue, featuring a parody of Marvel's X-Men, is fun in its own right, it's kind of surreal to consider DH had a go at its own version of "MAD Magazine." And as Seenallover points out, cover artist Jim Bradrick putting Mickey Mouse ears on Wolverine borders on prescience. Spooky!
Sadly, the magazine is no longer with us, but the issues seem to fetch a pretty penny online. Looking at this cover, it's not hard to understand why.
Now, for the love of Clodzilla Dark Horse, consider making these available on your Web site's E-Reader.
