Scot McKnight is a recognized authority on the New Testament, early Christianity, and the historical Jesus. McKnight, author of more than fifty books, is the Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary in Lombard, IL.

I LOVE Stuff Christians Like. I visit the blog every day.
Laughing like crazy while reading his blog, I realized how hurt I was growing up in "mostly conservative evangelical Christianity." I wrote a post about it for my blog: http://bit.ly/d5Nw6X
I downloaded the book (Scott Baily included the link in his comment). But I haven't listened to it yet. Hope to soon.
Jon is great fun!
Of course I like the guest post I did. 😀 (title: Popcorn Prayer)
Recent favorite one on Christian bumper stickers was really quite clever!

My friend referred me to the Stuff Christians Like blog because she thought it was funny. I don't find it funny. It took me a little while to understand that the heart behind the blog wasn't malicious but wanted good for people. I grew up in a rural Methodist church and only recently realized that I was only on the outskirts of evangelicalism, not really immersed in it.
One post I read was on the people you meet in a popcorn prayer circle. Since you also wrote a post on popcorn prayer, Lisa, would you be willing to address my questions?
When I was taught "pray as you feel you led" circles, I truly believed in them. I loved that type of prayer and took it seriously as a way of listening to the Holy Spirit while praying as a group. I had no idea that other people felt the kind of pressure and awkwardness you and Acuff describe. I never intended to do that to anyone. I never knew some were sitting there judging it. http://stuffchristianslike.net/2008/04/159-the-pray-if-you-feel-led-prayer/
In this and in other things, I was sincerely trying to follow God in community to the best of my ability and for the good of all. After reading bits of the blog, I was horrified to think that in reality I'd caused the opposite to happen.
Some of us are tender-hearted, earnest believers, who may have made some of the mistakes this blog/book talks about. And while I know God extends grace, sometimes I find it hard to believe that his followers do. Stuff Christians Like makes that last belief harder for me.
So where's the balance in this? What am I missing? Can someone explain it better to me? My friend says I don't get it because I'm not the target audience. I reacted initially to the blog by feeling unjustly mocked and judged until I realized that the author's intention was for good. Are there others out there who feel that too?
I feel cautious and troubled about this kind of humor because it can be taken the wrong way, doing damage just like the practices it reveals.
I downloaded the free audio book from Christian Audio.com and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the author himself Jonathan Acuff did the reading, which is awesome. He even adds little commentary to some of the stuff he wrote.
The print version also has some great illustrations in it too!
I have the book, and I love it, but that was no surprise, because I love the blog as well. Favorites are "Thinking Honeymoon Sex is Better than the Second Coming," and "Worship Eagles."
I don't find Jon's humor offensive at all. He encourages us to laugh at ourselves, and often casts himself as the chief example of whatever he is drawing our attention to.
Karen – I know Scot has an opinion about satire and when it's appropriate and when it's hurtful. At least, I believe I've seen him share it here before. I hope he'll respond to your concern.
I'm not offended by Acuff's blog. My initial reaction was a misunderstanding of where he was coming from. Also it's my personality type to take things at face value. After watching All in the Family during childhood, I was an adult before I realized that Archie Bunker was satirical. Doh!
I do think it would be helpful to discuss how Acuff's satire can be mistaken for mocking and judgment and how to prevent people from being hurt by that. How can we extend grace even in the face of admitting where our woundedness came from?
And I'm still flinching that people may have been reading into my practice of faith all kinds of things I didn't mean, but that's a personal problem that I need to leave in God's hands.
According to my captcha, that "problem" is "golden." LOL!
Karen –
I think you raise some great questions. And as the author of the Stuff Christians Like site I certainly have some thoughts.
First and foremost, I'd say that on the blog, I've definitely made mistakes. In the name of humor or traffic or my own ego, I've most certainly made mistakes. So it's very possible you read a post written by me that could have been better written or kinder.
On the other hand though, I think that sometimes people unfairly lump Stuff Christians Like in with other blogs that mock God or Christians and that is not something I do. Mockery always has a victim. Mockery's only aim is to wound. God is clear throughout Proverbs how he feels about mockery. Satire however, is simply humor with a purpose and my purpose is to share the love of Christ. Mockery is a great shortcut to an easy laugh but it removes the ability to speak love later. And the love later matters more to me than the laugh right now.
What's interesting is that the post you mentioned, the prayer circle, was very light hearted. I joked about people who start to pray and then stop because they think someone else is about to. I joked about the pressure of being the opener and the closer. Of all the posts on the site, that one certainly didn't pick on anyone. In fact, the only finger I ever poke is the one at myself.
I appreciate your well thought out and honest response. My hope is that folks like you will give the site a chance. I can't tell you the thousands of emails I get from people who are returning to church after being hurt because they've been reminded via a silly blog that faith can be fun and funny and above all honest. I am going to write about the ways we fail, I am going to share the scars we sometimes cause but at the end of the day, whether writing the blog or using it as a platform to build 2 kindergartens in Vietnam, I am going to be respectfully sharing the name of Christ.
Thanks. Yes, I'm sensitive to satire because it tends to treat humans inhumanely, and prolonged fixation with satire can destroy us. But, I didn't find that in Acuff's book and I am sensitive to this stuff.
I see his book as friendly, fun fire.
Thanks for answering me. I appreciate your openness and honesty. I appreciate you considering what I had to say.
I did react to the "pray as you feel led" post with embarrassment and shame. I had no clue other people felt that way about it. I led a few small groups for a while and did not intend the consequences you described. I now feel more self-conscious about praying with other people, but only a little. Maybe it was both good and bad to lose that child-like ignorance.
AprilK, who is a personal friend of mine, and another friend showed me that there was no malice intended. And I can tell that your heart is for people's healing. I'm so glad that this is helping people.
My current favorite Christian satire is Xianity on Twitter:

For me- satire is fine as long as you are included in the humor… John doesn't divide the kingdom.. he unites it.. WE are hilarious… WE are hypocritical and we DO major in the minors.
I've read some satire that is directed at others.. THEY are judgmental.. THEY are ____ fill in the blank…
To me- this makes all the difference.
John manages to use sharp wit and humor while still lumping himself in – it's US. not them.
Love that. It's a gift to be able to laugh at ourselves. curse to have to laugh at others.

I love the SCL blog – been reading it since its early days. Wow, it would be so hard to pick just a few favorites! I enjoyed the prayer circle post. The post on super happy shiny Christian radio hit a chord – but then so do most of Jon's posts.
If you haven't read his stuff, go to the blog and check out the archives. He's still putting out good stuff but IMO the first 50 to 100 posts were the best. I haven't read the book yet but definitely plan to get it.

What is the 'Christian life' all about? Studying the Bible, attending church, cultivating a prayer life, witnessing to others---those are all good. But is that really what Jesus has in mind? The answer, says Scot McKnight in One.Life, lies in Jesus' words, 'Follow me.'
What does it look like to follow Jesus, and how will doing so change the way we live our life---our love.life, our justice.life, our peace.life, our community.life, our sex.life---everything about our life.
This book examines conversion stories as told by people who have actually undergone a conversion experience, including experiences of apostasy. The stories reveal that there is
not just one "conversion story." Scot McKnight and Hauna Ondrey show that "conversion theory" helps explain why some people walk away from one religion, often to another, very different religion. The book confirms the usefulness--particularly for pastors, rabbis, and priests, and university and college teachers--of applying conversion theory to specific groups.

Parakeets make delightful pets. We cage them or clip their wings to keep them where we want them. Scot McKnight contends that many, conservatives and liberals alike, attempt the same thing with the Bible. We all try to tame it.
McKnight's The Blue Parakeet has emerged at the perfect time to cool the flames of a world on fire with contention and controversy. It calls Christians to a way to read the Bible that leads beyond old debates and denominational battles. It calls Christians to stop taming the Bible and to let it speak anew for a new generation.
Scot McKnight here explains the Letter of James both in its own context and as it may be seen in light of ancient Judaism, the Graeco-Roman world, and emerging earliest Christianity.

The gravity point of a life before God is that his followers are to love God and to love others with everything they've got. Scot McKnight now works out the "Jesus Creed" for high school and college students, seeking to show how it makes sense, giving shape to the moral lives of young adults. The Jesus Creed for Students is practical, filled with stories, and backed up and checked by youth pastors Chris Folmsbee and Syler Thomas.

"When an expert in the law asked Jesus for the greatest commandment, Jesus responded with the Shema, the ancient Jewish creed that commands Israel to love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength. But the next part of Jesus' answer would change the course of history.
Jesus amended the Shema, giving his followers a new creed for life: to love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength, but also to love others as themselves. Discover how the Jesus Creed of love for God and others can transform your life.

"Scot McKnight stirs the treasures of our Lord's life in an engaging fashion. He did so with The Jesus Creed, and does so again with 40 Days Living the Jesus Creed. Make sure this new guide for living is on your shelf." --Max Lucado
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. And...love your neighbor as yourself."
Scot McKnight has come to call this vital teaching of our Lord the Jesus Creed. He recites it throughout the day every day and challenges you to do the same. You may find that, if you do, you will learn to love God more creatively and passionately, and find new ways to love those around you.

What was spiritual formation like during the time of Jesus? As Scot McKnight points out, the early Christians didn't sing in the choir or go to weekly Bible studies, and yet they matured inwardly in relationship with God as well as outwardly in their relationships with each other. How did this happen?
In The Jesus Creed DVD, explore with Scot how the great Shema of the Old Testament was transformed by our Lord into the focal point for spiritual maturity. According to the Jesus Creed (found in Mark 12:29-31), loving God and loving others are the greatest commandments.

Is the practice of faith centered solely on the spirit? Is the body an enemy, or can it actually play a role in our pursuit of God? In this installation of the Ancient Practices Series, Dr. Scot McKnight reconnects the spiritual and the physical through the discipline of fasting.
The act of fasting, he says, should not be focused on results or used as a manipulative tool. It is a practice to be used in response to sacred moments, just as it has in the lives of God's people throughout history. McKnight gives us scriptural accounts of fasting, along with practical wisdom on benefits and pitfalls, when we should fast, and what happens to our bodies as a result.

McKnight discusses the value of the church's atonement metaphors, asserting that the theory of atonement fundamentally shapes the life of the Christian and of the church. This book, the first volume in the Living Theology series, contends that while Christ calls humanity into community that reflects God's love, that community then has the responsibility to offer God's love to others through such missional practices of justice and fellowship.

Learn not only what Peter said to his audience in the first century but also how what he taught can be applied today in this volume of the NIV Application Commentary Series.
Scot McKnight, best-selling author of The Jesus Creed, invites readers to get closer to the heart of Jesus' message by discovering the ancient rhythms of daily prayer at the heart of the early church. "This is the old path of praying as Jesus prayed," McKnight explains, "and in that path, we learn to pray along with the entire Church and not just by ourselves as individuals."
Praying with the Church is written for all Christians who desire to know more about the ancient devotional traditions of the Christian faith, and to become involved in their renaissance today.
In the candid and lucid style that has made McKnight's The Jesus Creed so appealing to thousands of pastors, lay leaders, and everyday people who are searching for a more authentic faith, he encourages all Christians to recognize the simple, yet potentially transforming truth of the gospel message: God seeks to restore us to wholeness not only to make us better individuals, but to form a community of Jesus, a society in which humans strive to be in union with God and in communion with others.

Granted, rock solid reliability and road hugging weight are reasons why you bought your Hummer. So it's important that you maintain it by using the best replacement Tie Rod parts possible. All Hummer drivers will agree that the best parts, especially replacement Tie Rod, are the only parts that belong on their automobile. Tie Rod failure can make driving extremely inconvenient for almost anyone. Qualities such as military grade design and reliable GM engines are what make your vehicle special, which is probably the reason why you drive one.
Tie rods are being used all the time when you drive your Hummer. You may have a rack and pinion or you may have a center or drag link, but your tie rods still have to convey the motion of your steering wheel to the front wheel carrier or spindle. That not only lets you turn your Hummer left or right, but it also helps it withstand some minor inconsistencies on the road. Over time, environmental damage can get the best of the metal and rubber components of your tie rod; necessitating replacement.
Who wants to pay dealership prices when the best replacement parts are available for your Hummer at a discount online? With such a wide selection of quality Tie Rod parts for your Hummer, you can use www.carpartsdiscount.com as your authoritative and expert supplier rather than the expensive local dealership. Driving a car or truck that's famous for its adventurous drive means only the best parts should be used for replacements and repairs. To find the correct Tie Rod parts for Hummer H2, H3, H3T and more, simply click your model from the list below.

A former owner of Crystal Palace Football Club has accepted damages in the high court over a "character assassination" of him in an OK! magazine "kiss-and-tell" about Simon Cowell.
Entrepreneur and businessman Simon Jordan's solicitor told a judge in London that the article in OK! "was stated to be an account of Alicia Douvall's relationship with the world famous music mogul Simon Cowell".
Christopher Hutchings said: "It was without doubt intentionally published to coincide with the revelation that Mr Cowell was to become a father for the first time.
"However, the 'kiss and tell' also featured a character assassination of the claimant."
Hutchings told Mr Justice Bean at the high court on Monday that in the 20 August 20 article the defendant – Richard Desmond's Northern & Shell, publisher of OK! – made allegations "concerning the alleged relationship between Ms Douvall and the claimant and as to the conduct of the claimant".
Those allegations had caused "severe distress and embarrassment" to Mr Jordan, who was "well-known for his ownership of Crystal Palace Football Club from 2000 to 2010".
Hutchings said: "The allegations were deeply intrusive and their publication displayed a complete disregard for the claimant's private life.
"Had the defendant bothered to contact the claimant prior to publication he would have informed it that he denied the allegations.
"Regrettably, it did not do so and instead published its story in any event without carrying the claimant's firm denials."
Hutchings told the judge that on 23 August Jordan, through his solicitors, complained in relation to the article: "The defendant refused to apologise or to otherwise remedy the ongoing harm."
As a result, he was "left with no option but to issue proceedings for libel" in September.
He continued: "The defendant accepts the claimant's denials and no longer seeks to assert that the allegations are true.
"The defendant is here today publicly to apologise unreservedly to the claimant for the damage and distress caused and for its failure to put its story to the claimant prior to publication and then for its failure to promptly correct the position thereafter.
"It has agreed to publish an apology in OK!, and has undertaken not to repeat the allegations and has paid damages and legal costs. As such, the claimant considers that his reputation is fully vindicated."
Phillip Johnson, counsel for the defendant, told the judge: "The defendant wishes to express its regret and to offer its sincere apologies to the claimant for the distress and embarrassment caused by its article."
The damages figure was not revealed in court.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - January 23, 1983, New Braunfels, Texas >3 J. i a ;, j-'exas #Vj2' A titan falls Brown and Root founder dead at 84 HOUSTON (AP) - George Rufus Brown, the construction magnate who played an important role in the rise of the political career of the late President Lyndon B. Johnson, died Saturday at age 84. Brown and his late brother, Herman, molded Brown & Root Inc. from a small road-building company into one of the world's largest construction conglomerates. Brown amassed a fortune valued from $75 million to $100 million, making him one of the wealthiest men in the United States. He died at 3 p.m. at St. Luke's Hospital after a brief illness. Brown & Root spokesman James Harper said Brown had suffered a heart attack recently. Brown was one of Texas' most generous philanthropists, giving millions to Rice University and Southwestern University. The Brown brothers were instrumental in the rise of Johnson from a freshman congressman representing a sparsely populated Central Texas district to the presidency. The son of hardware merchant, Brown was born May 12, 1898, in Belton, Texas. His maternal grandfather, Rufus King, organized Lee County in central Texas, naming it in honor of Robert E. Lee. He was severely injured in a mining accident in Butte, Mont., and returned to Texas. At his mother's insistence, Brown was hired by the fledgling contract firm that his brother and brother-in-law. Dan Root, had founded in Austin. Brown was told to open a branch in Houston and one of his first jobs was building a bridge on the San Gabriel River near Georgetown. "I didn't know a damned thing about building a bridge," he once recalled. "But I got it up." ii inro, -tt •' a i it Ch J* IC . oipble Lorn;}. l.o.

The council will hold an executive session at 6:30 p.m. to discuss legal and personnel matters, then convene in open session at 7:30 p.m. in the council chamber at City Hall.

The Mexican American l,egal Defense and Education Fund reviewed the plan, redrew a few lines on the districting map and gave its stamp of approval Dec. 13. On Jan.

Dr. Michael Doherty, president of the Lamia Recreation Association, will brief the council on the rec center's financial problems and present a proposal for a city-run recreation department. Council will also hear a progress report on the long-awaited dredging of the Comal River channel, and consider transferring funds from the 1982-83 contingency account to help pay for the project.

Others prefer a gradual tapering off. Either way can work, as long as you've really made up your mind to do it. To do'what? To stop smoking, of course. That's the aim of a free program starting here this Tuesday, under the auspices of Community Education and the American Cancer Society. It's called FreshStart. The sponsors aren't promising miracles. They admit, ' All successful ex-smokers do it on their own." But FreshStart does offer specific, constructive tips on how to handle the troubles associated with "kicking the habit," plus the moral support of a group of people all trying to quit at once. And participants can't complain that the guy up front has no idea what they're going through. The group facilitator will be Bob Blackstone, an ex-smoker himself. The first session will start at 7:30 p.m. in Canyon High School. The FreshStart booklet says it's very important to attend all four sessions, because there's a different lesson to be learned at each one. On the first night, the potential quitter will try to determine why he smokes. According to FreshStart literature, there are three different ways of being "hooked": physical addition to nicotine, habit and psychological dependency. A nine-point questionnaire will help the potential quitter determine which category he falls into. Some smokers fall into two, or all three.

The house, located at 1983 Post Road, belongs to Jack Giesenschlag. It was unoccupied at the time of the fire and no one was injured. Cause of the fire is still undetermined. Fire officials estimate that approximately 75 percent of the structure and its contents were fire or smoke damaged. Sacco bows out in 'Godfather' style Friday night was "Godfather" Mitch Sacco's night alright.

Since it was first presented in 1964 only once has the award been given to two indivduals in the same year, said Sacco.

Meek Leads Dade Delegation in Urging TSA to Reconsider Screener Cuts at MIA
Representatives Stress MIA's Security Risk Status in Letter to TSA Director
WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Congressman Kendrick B. Meek was joined by the other members of the Miami-Dade Congressional Delegation in urging the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to reconsider its plans to cut 232 security screeners at Miami International Airport (MIA).
"These cuts will increase congestion at a crucial gateway to the Americas," Meek said. "I am very concerned that these cuts will drive travelers elsewhere, hurting MIA, a major economic engine in Dade County."
In a letter circulated by Meek, the Miami-Dade Congressional Delegation wrote to TSA Director Kip Hawley and stressed MIA's position as one of the highest security risk airports in the United States. The Representatives noted that TSA was previously forced to add screeners at MIA in order to remain in compliance with the Agency's mandate of electronic screening for 100% of checked baggage.
MIA processes the third highest number of international passengers of any airport in the United States, carrying over 30 million passengers to and from 150 cities worldwide.
Meek, along with Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Lincoln Diaz-Balart, met with TSA Assistant Director for Security Operations Jim Blair this morning, where Meek personally delivered the delegation letter.
"With a new terminal opening at MIA in the next year, having adequate screening staff will become even more important," said Meek. "We must keep these screeners in order for MIA to maintain its position as a key gateway in our hemisphere."
A copy of Meek's letter to TSA Director Hawley follows:
December 15, 2005
Mr. Kip Hawley
Transportation Security Administration
601 South 12th Street
Arlington, VA 22202
Dear Director Hawley:
We have been informed of the 232 Full Time Equivalent reduction in TSA security screening personnel at Miami International Airport (MIA) and are writing to urge you to reconsider this re-alignment at one of highest security risk airports in the nation. Until early 2004, TSA's passenger and baggage screening operations at MIA were understaffed, causing congestion at security checkpoints and complicating the agency's mandate of conducting electronic screening of 100% of checked baggage.
Forced to address the compliance issue, TSA dramatically increased staff in 2004 by more than 400 screeners, and just recently, reallocated an additional 47 full time positions to MIA, raising the authorized complement of security screeners at MIA to 1,698. TSA has recently been effectively handling the high volume of unique and unusual baggage coming through MIA and the security checkpoints congestion is manageable, but MIA cannot afford to lose any screener staff, particularly since the TSA has a high attrition rate of about 20 screeners per month at MIA.
On another issue, we would like to thank you for your assistance in executing the $20 million Other Transaction Account (OTA) agreement for reimbursement of terminal modification costs associated with the in-line Explosives Detection Systems (EDS) installation at Miami International Airport (MIA). The Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) is currently building two new terminals and will incur approximately $132 million in terminal modification costs associated with the in-line EDS installation.
As stated, TSA at MIA achieved its 100% electronic checked baggage compliance mandate in early 2004, and EDS installation in the new terminals will help TSA to continue to effectively deploy personnel and other resources in order to maintain this compliance. TSA's continued and timely reimbursement of terminal modification costs associated with EDS installation at MIA is essential. Additionally, MDAD is investing $14 million in passenger security checkpoint improvements required to meet TSA standards and continues to seek reimbursement for this expense.
Also, in terms of improving passenger processing at MIA, MDAD is looking forward to TSA implementing the Registered Traveler program at MIA and is standing by to formally apply for this program once TSA develops guidelines for the application process.
Finally, we understand that TSA's Federal Security Director at MIA, Rick Thomas, has been doing a wonderful job in managing resources and directing operations at MIA. We understand MDAD has an excellent working relationship with him, and we hope that you will be able to provide the aforementioned staffing resources and EDS terminal modification funds in order to maintain safe and secure operations at MIA.

Michael Jackson saw shows as live stage farewell
By Mirja Spernal and Mike Collett-White
LONDON (Reuters) - Michael Jackson intended his run of 50 live concerts in London to be his live performance farewell and an event to share with his growing children, the director of his new movie said on Tuesday.
In the last few days of his life, Jackson appeared to have "gone into another gear" while rehearsing for the concerts and showed no signs of drug dependency, Kenny Ortega told Reuters in an interview.
"This is It," a feature-length film built around footage of the final Los Angeles rehearsals before Jackson's death on June 25 aged 50, hits theatres around the world on October 28 and looks set to be one of the biggest movies of the year.
"This was it, this was his final curtain call. I think that what Michael wanted to do was to retire from performance and focus on film-making and other things," said Ortega, who had been working with Jackson choreographing the This Is It gigs.
"He had said to me before in confidence that he didn't intend to be out there in the world performing for much longer, so this opportunity came along where he thought that he was young enough to be able to do what it was that he loved, he wanted to share it with his children ... to do it for the fans."
Asked whether Jackson had shown any signs of dependency on drugs, Ortega replied: "No."
Jackson died of a prescription drug overdose including a powerful sleep agent and sedatives. His sudden death triggered fevered speculation about his physical state.
"He was excited, looking forward to (it), happy, pleased with what we had accomplished up until that moment and looking forward to finishing up the rehearsals in Los Angeles and moving on to London," Ortega said. Continued...

Nissan automobile owners have come to expect a certain level of best-in-class value when driving their Juke around town. Make no mistake, you didn't buy your Juke unless you wanted to buy Japanese engineering and driver satisfaction both rolled up into one car, truck, or SUV. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles in today's marketplace. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the dependability built into each Nissan, and know that only top quality replacement Juke parts will suffice when repairs are needed.
Your car or truck uses liquid coolant to maintain a constant temperature in the engine, and the device that controls the flow of coolant so that the engine can remain cool is your thermostat. On start-up, the thermostat remains closed; bypassing the flow of coolant through your radiator. This cycles the coolant through the engine block and gets it hot. Once it reaches the right temperature, your Nissan Juke thermostat responds by directing coolant to the radiator. Now your coolant is part of a constant cycle in your Nissan Juke engine that keeps it at a steady and controlled temperature determined for the engine to achieve the best balance between power, fuel efficiency, and emissions... all thanks to the thermostat.
Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Nissan Juke part for your needs. Don't let a broken Thermostats spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the best replacement parts. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Nissan Juke Thermostats for your 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011 model.

Harry's scar was hurting again.
Considering he had just stepped onto Platform 9-and-three-quarters, this was not a good sign. Usually the annual evil threat gave him enough time to enjoy the scenery travelling to Hogwarts, and access to the sweets trolley.
And the level of pain ...
... on his summer 'holiday', or 'imprisonment', Dudley decided to order out and consume five chicken vindaloos in ten minutes flat.
At the thirty minute mark, Dudley had barricaded himself in the toilet, his painful moans audible from two houses down. While his aunt fretted, Harry had demonstrated the wisdom that had kept him alive at Hogwarts for many years, and went to the pictures before the smell hit.
With foresight, Harry realised that maybe it would have been better to stick around for the three picture matinee deal; even Charlie's Angels Full Throttle would have been better than the by-product of his cousin's eating habits.
To make a long story short, it seemed the pain inflicted on Dudley's rectum was now replicated on Harry's lightning-bolt scar.
Harry barely registered Heromine and Ron supporting his weight, the pain was that distracting (not to mention he completely missed the fact she'd filled out some). What could be causing this ...
"Hi! I'm Emilee, with two 'e's! I've just transferred from California, and I'm dying to meet you! I'm sure we're going to be great pals ..."
Heromine looked at the prattling little bitch, her relative position on the platform, where everyone was looking, and the speed of the Hogwart's Express just pulling in.
Emilee (with two 'e's) suddenly found herself flying away from these great new pals of hers, and landed hard onto the rails.
Heromine looked at the now rapidly recovering Harry, and the now very quiet Ron.
They boarded, and disembarked without incident (although Ron saw a first-year's mother look down on the rails and start screaming).
The trio holed up in a cabin, locked the doors, closed the blinds, and didn't say a word until Heromine broke the silence.
"I don't know about you two ... but I'm absolutely gagging for it ..."

The sun beat down from high in the sky, turning Point Clear, Alabama, into a veritable oven.
And any human into a wet, sticky mess, I thought, wiping the sweat from my forehead. Although I'd found that living near the bay had its advantages—the sheer beauty of it, for one—its effect on the weather was not exactly… desirable. During the summer, the air became thick and heavy with moisture, the humidity saturating the air. Afternoon walks left the inhabitants only slightly drier than if they'd taken a swim. Add that to the sweat produced by three hours of grounds work, and I was soaked. My t-shirt clung to my skin uncomfortably, my hair was plastered to my brow, and my sunglasses kept sliding down the bridge of my nose. I'd long since abandoned the baseball cap Mr. Liddel had lent me; within fifteen minutes it had become a sodden mess. My back ached, my muscles burned, and my hand was starting to cramp up from gripping the clippers. With a mighty heave, I tossed the wretched things aside and flopped onto the ground. Slowly, eyes closed, I brought my wrist up to my face. Please… I peeked open one eye. 11:53— thank God. Break time.
I blindly fumbled around in the grass until I felt my water bottle and lunch sack. Grabbing them, I pushed myself up, looked around wearily, and finally- I honestly don't know how- got back into a standing position. I made my way over to a shady oak and leaned up against it, releasing each of my muscles slowly until I had sunk down to ground level. I kicked off my shoes, wriggled my toes in the dirt, and sighed in contentment. Mr. Liddel had given me the option of eating inside with the other groundskeepers, out of the heat, but I had declined. It wasn't that I disliked them; I just disliked keeping their company. They were too curious, asking too many questions that I simply wasn't ready to answer yet. I know they were just trying to make small talk. They meant no harm, and all seemed like amicable guys—guys I might want to befriend one day. But not now. It was just… too painful, the wound too raw.
I shook my head vigorously, scolding myself. I'd promised myself I wouldn't think of what happened. Why had I come here in the first place? To get away from Seattle. There too many reminders there, too many places, things, and people that triggered an onslaught of memories. Alabama had seemed as far away as I could get.
"Excuse me, sir. Do you know where the cotillion is being held?"
I looked up, and swore under my breath. A girl of thirteen or so was standing in front of me, her makeup smeared, dress dirty, and her face the exact image of Samantha's.
"Sorry, I don't mean to be a bother, but my date ditched me, and if I don't get back soon, Gran'll disown me and… and… and…" The girl paused and sniffled, tears cascading down her face.
"No, no, it's fine," I said, a lump building in my throat. "Go down the path 'til you see the trellis, and take a right." The girl nodded gratefully, and headed off, wiping her face on the hem of her sleeve. I turned away and shoved my headphones into my ears, turning up the volume as the familiar sense of guilt washed over me. Forbidden tears welled up in my eyes, and I hacked away at the bushes violently, engulfing myself in a mindless, numb rhythm.
Chop. Chop. Chop. Chop…

Oracle (NASDAQ:ORCL) is the leader in the database software market with a market share of more than 50%. IBM (NYSE:IBM) comes in a distant second with around 20% share. Oracle also competes with smaller players like Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Sybase (now acquired by SAP (NYSE:SAP)) in this market. Database software is the most valuable business for Oracle and accounts for around 34% to our $37 price estimate for Oracle stock. Our price estimate stands about 20% above market price.
Oracle experiencing faster database business growth
According to the recently announced Oracle's fiscal year Q4 2011 earnings release, its database software business grew 28% in this quarter compared to the same quarter last year, which is outpacing competitors by a healthy margin. [1]
Management notes:
Our Database business grew 28% in Q4 and 26% for the year. That growth rate is twice as fast as any year this past decade. We're already more than twice as big as IBM, the former #1, and current #2 player in the Database business, and we're consistently growing faster than IBM and taking market share away from them. [1]
Oracle striking more business deals
Oracle mentioned that it is winning more business deals for its database software, especially in the cloud-computing segment.
In its conference call:
Why is it the Oracle Database business suddenly growing so fast? Because we've advanced our database technology to take full advantage of the latest trends in the database market: cloud computing databases, in-memory databases and now big data databases. This year, we did a number of cloud computing deals, and including a very large one with Salesforce.com last quarter. And this quarter, we did one with the biggest and best name in mobile devices and cloud computing in the world.

Los Angeles Lakers Beat Cleveland Cavaliers…With Four Players? [Video]
The Los Angeles Lakers played the Cleveland Cavaliers last night in one of the most bizarre games in modern NBA history.
Lakers, obviously getting hit by some type of voodoo doll or bad karma, started the game with only eight players. Five starters, and three people off the bench.
Mind you, the team has lost seven in a row and is playing without Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant who are both injured.
So, here's what happened soon after the game started.
Nick Young twists his knee, out for the game. Seven. Center Chris Kaman, fouls out early in the fourth quarter. Six. Point guard Jordan Farmer suffered from leg cramps. Five. Remember now, five people are on the court at a time. Center Robert Sacre who scored ten points in the game then recorded his sixth foul. Which in normal cases would mean he would be fouled out.
Instead he stayed in the game because everyone else was hurt. The Lakers were called for a technical foul for having this issue, every time Sacre committed a foul.
This is due to NBA's "no-forfeit policy, which allows players who foul out to remain in the game if a team is down to its last five players. The penalty: a technical foul, and subsequent technical fouls for every foul committed past six."
It was so bad, that point guard Steve Nash, which hasn't played a game in weeks showed up on the bench in full uniform with 3:32 left in the game.
Either way, the Lakers somehow ended up winning 119-108.
Check out the highlights below.

UPDATE 2-Gassled partners to appeal ruling in $1.8 bln tariff row
* All international investors involved appeal decision
* Oslo court had ruled against them in September (Adds Infragas, Njord Gas Infrastructure CEO comments)
By Stine Jacobsen
OSLO, Oct 30 (Reuters) - A group of international investors will appeal against a ruling by an Oslo court regarding Norway's decision to cut natural gas pipeline tariffs, a decision the investors said would cost them 15 billion crowns ($1.8 billion) in lost earnings by 2028.
Challenging Norway's reputation as a predictable place to do business, four firms owned by funds including Allianz, UBS, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, argued that Norway illegally cut fees on the 8,000-km (5,000-mile) Gassled gas pipeline network.
Solveig Gas, Njord Gas Infrastructure, Silex Gas and Infragas, which hold a combined 45 percent stake in Gassled, were appealing, Solveig Gas said in a statement to the London Stock Exchange.
Infragas and Njord Gas Infrastructure would continue to invest in Gassled in accordance with contractual commitments, but could shy away from new investments, their chief executives said after the companies publicised their decision to appeal.
Njord Gas Infrastructure said that had the tariffs not been cut, it would probably have bought a stake in the 480-km Polarled pipeline, whose construction was completed last month. The pipeline connects Statoil's Aasta Hansteen gas field to the Nyhamna onshore processing plant.
"There are other projects which typically would have been interesting before (the cut in tariffs), for example Polarled," Njord Gas Infrastructure CEO Birte Norheim told Reuters. Continued...

Primer falls somewhere between the two, turning out tough Chicago blues fueled by his biting slide guitar. His original songs aren't particularly interesting, but they function as good vehicles for exciting jams. In the end, Primer might not add anything new to Chicago blues, but he has a great time playing, and it sure is fun to listen to him play.

Bike-Share Operator Bixi Files for Bankruptcy
The pioneering publicly-backed bike-share company Bixi has been forced to seek bankruptcy protection amid "legal disputes, software glitches, upgrade delays," and withheld payments, reports Andy Riga. The company's international expansion, which was intended to finance bike-share operations in Montreal, and the failure to sell its international operations are being blamed for the company's collapse.
Bixi owes the city of Montreal $38 million and suppliers about $9 million. "The city said it sent Bixi a letter on Jan. 15 demanding the money it is owed," notes Riga. "Unable to pay, Bixi filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday (Jan. 20)."
According to Montreal's mayor, the company still plans to operate its bike-share system in the city this year. There's no word on how the bankruptcy filing may affect systems aligned with Bixi in other cities.
UPDATE (1/22/14): In an article in The Atlantic Cities, Sarah Goodyear relays this statement on the status of several Bixi-aligned systems: "Mia Birk, vice president of Alta Bicycle Share, which operates eight Bixi-provided bike-share systems in the United States and Melbourne, Australia, said in an email shortly after the bankruptcy announcement that operations of those systems would be unaffected."
"Our systems across the country — in Washington, D.C., Boston, New York City, Chicago, the Bay Area, Columbus, OH, and Chattanooga, TN — are up and running and ABS will ensure that they continue to operate without interruption," Birk wrote. "Given our plans to expand current systems and launch new systems this year, we're in constant communication with both PBSC as well as its suppliers to ensure we can do so successfully."

Jackel Island Book Synopsis:
Life is paradise for Jamie on Jackel Island, until things go wrong. A multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical company hires 21 people to work on a biological research project, sending them all to a small remote island southwest of India. Jamie forms close bonds with the people on the island, and they become like a family she doesnât have. Tragedy strikes when the people on the island discover that theyâre cut off from the outside world. Their computers stop working, the supply ship stops arriving, and they learn that the outside world thinks that they were all killed in a tropical storm that supposedly swept the island. They begin to suspect that they are human test subjects for biological research. They suspect that the research team on the island is to blame, or perhaps the pharmaceutical company, or even the government. They start to turn against each other, and some seem to turn savage. The twist ending will surprise readers.
How did your book come to life?
My story was already alive before I wrote it. The characters have been playing in my head for years. They were alive. It was like I had to write the story to give them a life outside of my head.
Who is you favorite character in your book and why?
Actually, I have two favorite characters. One is Evan. Heâs hated by most of the people on the island. When things go wrong and the 21 employees find themselves stranded on the island, Evan is blamed. Evan is complex. Heâs brilliant with an IQ in the 140âs. Heâs world renowned in the science culture. Heâs written many texts that have been translated in several languages and thousands of copies are sold throughout the world. Heâs mostly calm and controlled, but he has a temper. He shoves a knife through Gradyâs hand, and he killed a cat in his youth, but he risks everything to save the people on the island. Or so it seems. The end reveals the truth.
Kane is also my favorite character, and also the favorite character by many readers. He is the wisdom behind the writing, the spiritual voice. He is freakishly tall and is often chopping wood. Heâs a man of few words. He never makes it off the island. What happens to him in the end is up to interpretation, but itâs pretty much spelled out.
Are the characters in your books based on people you know?
No. Situations from my past are thrown in the book, but not the characters, ironically. The characters are more symbolic than based on people I know. Tom represents democracy. Jeremy represents our influential youth. Adrian represents our military, or protection and security within a society. Evan represents the intellectual class. Etc.
Why do you think your readers are going to enjoy your book?
Iâve heard feedback from over 30 people who have read the book, and pretty much all of them say that itâs been a page-turner and they couldnât put it down. Itâs action-packed. Also, people say that thereâs strong character development.
How long did it take you to write your book?
One year and one month. I started with a vague outline. Throughout the whole process of writing, I kept adding details to the outline, and editing it, switching things around.
How do you start writing a new book? What comes first? The characters? The story?
Thereâs no right or wrong here. For me, the characters exist first, and I create a story around them. I knew these characters years before I started writing about them. Iâve âplayedâ with them in my head for hears, giving them different scenarios and different story lines. But thereâs something intriguing to me about people isolated on an island. I canât say exactly what it is. I wanted to create a mini-society.
Do you like to write series? Or single titles only?
This is my first novel. Iâve published before, but it was non-fiction.
I think I want to write a series only because I miss the characters terribly, and want them to live on. The thing is, I ended the story completely, wrapping everything up in a tight ribbon. I only left one character open-ended. Everything else just⦠well⦠ended.
I was thinking on doing something that has never been done before, I donât think. I donât know if this is too revolutionary (or too weird). I was thinking on creating a whole new story-line, but using the same characters. Then, my third novel will be even another story-line completely, but once again with the same characters.
Where can a reader purchase your book?
On Amazon.
I am in the process of e-publishing the book, so it will be available on Kindle in February 2013, unless I hit any unusual bumps.
Where do you find your ideas? Do you carry a notebook in case inspiration strikes?
Most of my ideas come to my while Iâm driving or in the shower. Itâs hard to write them down while driving or showering. I often write on my hand. All ideas get put in my outline, which was growing and being edited just about daily.
Have you written your entire life? Have you always considered yourself a writer?
I have always known I was a writer, tho I never wrote an autobiography. When I was a little kid, I used to write âbooksâ on scrap paper, using crayon, and Iâd staple them together. I would then tape another little scrap of paper on the back of these âbooksâ, and Iâd insert a library card in case anyone would ever want to check a book out. No one ever did, ha!
Why do you write? Is it something youâve always done, or always wanted to do?
I have to write. Writing a story has been nagging at me for decades. I felt like if I died without writing a story, Iâd be doing a disservice to myself.
What is your writing process?
Once I started, I wrote every day. I really did. It wasnât because I am super disciplined, or felt I had to. I wanted to. Writing was FUN! I fought for time to write. Cleaning house, socializing, and doing paperwork all became items on a back burner.
Every day before work, sometimes during lunch, and a lot late at night, I would sit down with my computer and re-read the 5 or so pages Iâd written the day prior, or the morning prior. Iâd re-work the words and edit. Then I would write about 5 more pages. Sometimes I was rather stuck and would only write about 2 pages⦠sometimes Iâd struggle for a day or two on a paragraph. Sometimes (rarely), Iâd push out 10 to 15 pages in one sitting. Iâd often be at it until two in the morning. My husband can testify to this.
How did you describe a scene?
I had to describe a barn with a mountain in the background. I image-googled, and literally spent a couple of hours until I found a photo that matched that what was in my head. I would look at the photo, then write. The photo helped me.
What are your thoughts on self-publishing verses traditional publishing?
An author has MUCH more control with self-publishing than with traditional publishing.
With traditional publishing, the publishing company often âownsâ the writer.
They may say âChange the titleâ or âCut out 50 pagesâ or âomit this characterâ, etc.
Traditional Publishing = an automatic car
Self-Publishing = stick shift
Would you consider converting one of you stories/published books into a screenplay?
Yes. Actually, Iâm in the process of doing this. I understand that I have to tell my story in about 90 pages, which will mean cutting out a LOT. Ouch.
What are your strengths as a writer?
Dialogue & character development.
My weakness is pacing.
How many books in a month do you read?
I read one book a month. I have to; I run a Book Club, ha!
If I wasnât working, Iâd read one book a week. I love to read!
What is the best book you've read?
Can I list 3?
âThe Kite Runner
âTo Kill a Mockingbird
âThe Outsiders
State 5 random facts about yourself.
âWhen I was 7, I was the crocodile in the play Peter Pan. I crawled around on the floor.
âI play tin whistle
âWhen I was 13, I beat a teacher in chess.
âI worked in New York City next to Grand Central in my young twenties.
âI absolutely love toads. Theyâre so goofy and lovable.
One more:
As kids, we would bike down a bumpy hill in the woods, be airborne, then land in the small lake.
Do you have a pipe dream?
Yes. Owning a hundred acres, building cabins, hiring people to live there to take care of stray dogs. I would have a doctor live there and pay him well, a mini store, a little school house, theater…
In all the books you've read, who is your most favorite character and why?
Atticus Finch in âTo Kill a Mockingbirdâ. By far. He combines gentleness with inner strength, a combination you rarely see in a man. Many men are gentle, and many men are strong, but few are both.
Were you a good student? Or were you âbad boyâ or âbad girl?â
I was both. I graduated High School with honors, and I graduated college earning Magna Cum Laude. However, I did my share of pranks. I set the clocks back in 10th grade English class so we could get out of class earlier. I painted the dorm bulbs red in the staircases for artistic effect. I put notices under dorm doors saying weâd get an extra week of spring break, using the college administration stationery.

Remote control, screen sharing, and terminal service in Linux
You can optimize your network by letting your systems share screen images, CPU cycles, and even mouse clicks. This month we look at remote control and terminal service technologies.
Control has always been easy with Unix-based systems like Linux. In the old days, simple tools let the user open a remote connection for command-line access. The rise of the graphic interface brought new complication to this simple formula. In recent years, the economies of thinclient alternatives have added emphasis to the long-neglected terminal service model, and virtualization has focused renewed attention on the task of reaching other systems from a single keyboard and mouse.
This month's cover story examines some tools and techniques for remote control, screen sharing, and terminal service. We start with a look at the VNC (Virtual Network Computing) remote access protocol. We'll show you how VNC differs from the X Window system, describe some tips for working with VNC, and review some popular no-cost VNC applications, such as TightVNC, RealVNC, MetaVNC, and UltraVNC.

Dovecot was killed, and not restarted afterwards.
**Unmatched Entries**
dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.7 starting up: 3 Time(s)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. It just appears in my logwatch. I have not made any changes or customizations
