She loves to play jokes on her pals and Ellen DeGeneres re-edited the touching speech given by George Clooney at the 72nd Golden Globe Awards.
It's been a great year for Kaley Cuoco so far, thanks to a successful sinus surgery and a big win at the People's Choice Awards.
He's happily married to Hannah Bagshawe, but Eddie Redmayne had to wait longer than expected to tie the knot.
The "Theory of Everything" hunk told Ellen DeGeneres that his bride was tardy to their ceremony, which took place prior to Christmas.
During his visit to the "Ellen DeGeneres Show", Chris Pratt took an opportunity to gush over his son Jack.
Talk about some serious girl power, Ellen DeGeneres welcomed Emily Blunt, Meryl Streep and Anna Kendrick to her popular talk show this week.
He became a father for the first time back in September and Ashton Kutcher is having a blast with his parental role.
During his interview on "The Ellen Degeneres Show," the "Two and a Half Men" hunk opened up about his life since the arrival of baby daughter Wyatt. Ashton told Ellen, "She's a little bit older than two months. Like two and a half months old. Not counting."
She's on the cover of Glamour magazine and her new movie "Wild" is getting Oscar buzz so it's safe to say things are going well for Reese Witherspoon.

Another Lying Blogger Hit with $4.5 Million Defamation Verdict
A student won a $4.5 million civil lawsuit against a former state attorney who defamed him online, followed him and his friends and showed up at his home several times.
Back in 2010, after Chris Armstrong became the first openly gay student body president at the University of Michigan, a website called "Chris Armstrong Watch" popped up online.
It turns out Andrew Shirvell, a state assistant attorney general and University of Michigan alum, had a problem with Armstrong and started the website, which called the student body president a Nazi, racist, liar, "Satan's representative on the student council," a "privileged pervert" and accused him of engaging in sexual acts in churches and playgrounds, giving alcohol to minors, and promoting a "radical homosexual agenda."
Two Anderson Cooper interviews later, Shirvell was fired from his job as a lawyer for the state.
Armstrong sued Shirvell for defamation and stalking, alleging that in addition to the website, Shirvell contacted his friends, showed up at his public appearances by tracking him on Facebook and protested outside his home. One time, he called the cops to report a party Armstrong was attending and then blogged that police "raided an out of control gay party."
At trial, Shirvell acted as his own lawyer, questioning himself on the stand for over an hour. He testified that he was merely protesting Armstrong's position on gender-neutral campus housing and that the blog was an exercise of his free speech under the First Amendment.
"My blog was political speech," Shirvell testified. "I viewed my blog as a movement to get Mr. Armstrong to resign. I personally felt Mr. Armstrong was too radical for the position."
But Armstrong's attorney, Deborah Gordon, showed that the blog put out not just opinion, but facts that were untrue and therefore did not have First Amendment protection. She argued that the 32-year-old man was "obsessed" with her client.
Shirvell's countersuit against Armstrong for causing him emotional distress was thrown out earlier this year.
The jury ordered Shirvell to pay $4.5 million to the former object of his
affection attention. Gordon said that her client would have dropped the lawsuit all along if Shirvell had just retracted the false statements.
After the verdict, Armstrong, who is now 22, said "I'm just incredibly humbled by what happened today. This is truly a victory, not just for myself, but for a lot of other kids out there."

The problem won't be solved by perpetuating the problem...
1. I agree with the thesis of the article. I would add that IMO most of the mass-market stuff available for men is "Christianity Lite" too.
2. So why, when women are often the ones usually creating resources for women (think "Beth Moore"), are women often denied access to the very theological training that would potentially give the resources more "heft?"
3. The church I belong to is complementarian; I am complementarian. Having gotten that out of the way...
4. Why does fundamentalism systematically deny women admittance to programs such as the M.Div? Are there any fundamentalist seminaries that would admit women to an M.Div program? Seminaries do not ordain, and churches individually have every right to exclude women from holding pastoral positions, so what really is the problem with permitting women to gain advanced theological training if they feel led/called to it?
5. Wouldn't permitting women to complete more rigorous theological programs be a good step to providing more "heft" to women's resources? (Are there any fundamentalist "Beth Moore's" out there?)
6. At the church I belong to, our Director of Women's Ministries does have an M.Div (languages and all...) from an evangelical seminary. She oversees or personally conducts Bible studies & women's conferences for the 750 or so adult women at the church. Her intent in earning her M.Div was always to serve in exactly the type of role she has. Ask her, and she'll tell you that she believes her M.Div studies are invaluable in helping her fill her role.
Are there any fundamentalist
Are there any fundamentalist seminaries that would admit women to an M.Div program
It is my understanding that both Central and Faith admit women to an M.Div. program and substitute some requirements such as homiletics/preaching with other classes.

Thanks Brenda, that's good to know. Do you know if any women are in the programs currently, or how many might have earned an M.Div at either school?
Don't have the stats
The current online catalogs for both seminaries indicate the information I provided above.
Regarding Faith, I know some have been in the program (and graduated) but I don't know actual numbers.

Thanks again, Brenda, I learned something. Page 43 of Central's online catalog says precisely what you say about women entering the M.Div program there. I guess I've just never encountered any @ Central; I've known women who were enrolled in the M.A. programs there.
You're welcome
Faith's catalog p. 53 (point 6 under goals) expresses a similar guideline.
I took a look at MBU's catalog. For women undergrads in the Bible Dept., they appear to offer degrees in:
- Biblical Counseling
- Biblical Languages
- Missions
The Seminary does accept female students - I remember taking ST4 with a female student. Their statement on female students in Seminary is:
The Seminary provides education and development, both academic and practical, for men (and, within the confines of biblical restrictions of local church leadership, women) who are called by God into leadership ministries in Baptist churches as pastors, evangelists, missionaries, and leaders in other biblically based ministries, such as Christian camp work, the chaplaincy, or teaching.
It does indeed appear that women, if they are so inclined, can take substantive courses and obtain degrees in Bible and theology from MBU. It makes the "fluff" we find in Christian bookstores (for both men and women) all the more pathetic and inexcusable.
I do think there is a stereotype out there that women can't take Bible courses or even obtain degrees in Bible at Christian universities or Seminaries. That is wrong, at least from what I've seen.
Why has my perception been so off?
I've learned in this thread that there are fundamentalist seminaries that admit women to their M.Div programs, with certain restrictions. That was news to me.
Is this a fairly recent turn of events? Or is it just that few women have ever enrolled in such programs? Are there still fundamentalist seminaries which don't admit women to M.Div programs, or which don't admit women to any of their seminary programs?
I personally know two women with M.Div's, including the Director of Women's Ministries at my church (whom I mentioned above). The other serves in a parachurch missions organization. (That's all I'll say about her, since their ministry is a sensitive outreach to Muslims.) I've also met a few other women M.Div's, but never any who have received their degree from fundamentalist schools (evangelical seminaries in every case).
Does anyone here know (or know of) women who have M.Div's, D.Min's, or the like from fundamentalist schools?
Why not the PhD?
FWIW, Westminster splits its MDiv into a pastoral track that is men only and a general track that allows women: http://www.wts.edu/academics/programs/divinity.html.
But why not go all the way? Why not the PhD? I know that's open to women at WTS; from what I remember, that's always been open to women at BJU as well.
Michael Osborne
Philadelphia, PA
Larry, it's not recent for Faith . . .
but maybe it is for other schools. The M.Div. is the highest degree Faith offers. You might be interested in this Faith publication from 1987.
Love the conversation here.
Love the conversation here. Just a couple of additional thoughts that didn't make it to the article:
1. I agree with Larry that a lack of theological training perpetuates the issue among women. Mike asked about Ph.D. programs--it's purely anecdotal, but I've had two friends who were dissuaded from pursuing Ph.D.s at a fundamentalist school. It wasn't disallowed but leadership questioned "why" they would need it and how they would use it. Still, in my experience, conservative evangelicals are more reactionary to women in seminary than fundamentalists. Because they are smack in the middle of the church gender wars, conservative Es are more suspicious of what a woman is trying to "say" or do by pursuing a seminary degree.
2.I'd also suggest that teachers like Beth Moore end up going parachurch because local churches usually don't have paradigms for them to use their gifting. So women who could train other women end up going outside the local church to use it. If think about women w/ prominent ministries (N.L. DeMoss, Beth Moore, Kay Arthur), they are not attached to a specific church; it's not this way with men who often use their pastoral ministry as a base for broader ministry. I'd love to see churches hiring trained, gifted women to "pastor" their women with the same alacrity that they hire young 20-somethings to pastor their youth groups.
Food for Thought
I think we can and should be creative in our efforts to find legitimate roles for women to fulfill in our churches that do not violate Scripture's clear teachings. I read the following excerpt from an article, written by a female minister, that underscores this point. The woman minister related the following story of a 50-yr old woman speaking to her Pastor about ministry opportunities:
So she went to her pastor and said, "My children have left home, we have enough income so that I do not have to work and I would like to give my life in meaningful service. What could I do in this church?" Do you know what he said to her? "Every Tuesday we have a need for someone to lick the envelopes for the church mailing and we could really use some help with that." That woman walked out of her church very depressed. Is there nothing that the church has for an older woman to do but win the cook-off contest at the church potluck? Did God put minds and energy and gifts in these women, only for it to be wasted?
- Rev. Roberta Hestenes, "Jesus and the Ministry of Women," Priscilla Papers PP04:4 (Fall 1990), 5.
Susan Hunt, a Pastor's wife and author, issues a desperate plea for a return to authentic Biblical discipleship of women within the church, specifically in light of Paul's commands from Titus 2:3-5. She said, "scores of evangelical women are functional feminists because the world's paradigm for womanhood is the only one they have heard."[1]
- Susan Hunt, "Women's Ministry in the Local Church," Journal of Biblical Manhood and Womanhood JBMW 11:2 (Fall 2006), 37.
I know we've gone a bit off track here with the thread, but I'll make an attempt to pull it back. Do Bible Colleges, and/or Seminaries teach women what they can do in local church ministry? Or, only what they can't? I'm not sure. What is the message the young women in Bible College's are getting?
The M.Div. Degree
Just a brief word from an instructor at one of those terribly backwards seminaries that don't graduate women. According to Wikipedia, the Master of Divinity degree is "the first professional degree of the pastoral profession." This is the traditional view of the M.Div., recognized broadly within the academic and ecclesiastical communities, and that's how we view the degree. We have the very focused mission of training the next generation of pastors and church planters, whether domestic or abroad, and every class we teach is directed narrowly to that end. We see our mission as that of committing truth to faithful men who will in turn teach others (2 Tim 2:2) in a vocational/professional context (v. 3).
We are neither suspicious of nor threatened by women who want to learn, and we allow women to take a majority of our classes (homiletics is out). But our mission is to train pastors and church planters, and that mission has a very narrow clientele.
I know this offers no direct answer to the central question of this thread (though indirectly it does, perhaps), but since the thread has diverged a bit, I thought a good word was in order.
conservative evangelical schools
Two CE schools in Minnesota that are just a stone's throw away from each other admit women to their M.Div. programs (University of Northwestern - St. Paul and Bethel Seminary).
Clarification: Northwestern refers to itself as conservative evangelical while Bethel calls itself strongly evangelical.
My views
- Larry got it right above ... theres' a lot of "lite" literature (men and women). A lot of "how to" books
- I think this thread moved the wrong way about MDivs ... reading and studying the Bible is not rocket science. (MDivs are good - not anti-seminary or anti-education!"
- Bookstores are filled with "lite" stuff because of supply and demand (the economic argument)
- Meanwhile ... I am thankful for a very smart wife (graduated Math 4.0 from Florida State). What is she currently reading? Delighting in the Trinity (un-lite)
I really don't think that
I really don't think that seminaries are backward but that as a subculture, we sometimes have a narrow vision of what "ministry" is and how it plays out in the life of the church. As a conservative, I appreciate the practical realities that training men for male-exclusive eldership presents; and yet, I also know that I use homiletics every time I teach our ladies Bible study group. If the concern is women practicing in front of a class of men, I get that, but surely there is a way around this?
I suppose I'm wondering how we identify and train women who are called to professional ministry (albiet not eldership). That's the core question--do seminaries have a culture that recognizes and affirms that a woman could need a seminary degree and yet not be pursuing eldership?
This is especially relevant in missions, particularly for those called to work in Islamic countries. There, women are going to be the primary ones to bear the gospel to other women and disciple them. Also, having professionally trained women who can teach and counsel other women in local church settings would go a long way to preventing the inappropriate relationships that can happen between pastors and female parishioners.
From just this thread, we've seen that there are seminaries that provide quality Biblical training to women. Some don't provide homiletics for women. Who cares? That's not a big loss. Just read some good books (e.g, Adams, Robinson, Chappell - especially Adams!). I preached for years, and graduated with an MA, before I ever took a single homiletics class (I had a secular undergrad). Hermeneutics is the key. So is theology.
I think women at many Seminaries have opportunity to learn the Bible. The crux is the local church. Are churches creative enough to find roles for women to teach one another? If a church's idea of "women's ministry" allows nothing more than changing diapers or licking stamps, then . . . there won't be opportunities.
In a vain attempt to wrest this thread back - do so many women (1) write miscellaneous fluff and (2) gravitate towards it because churches don't have a robust view of women's discipleship? Is the concept of "women's ministry" a little too overblown? Should a ladies bible study do a study of Ephesians, or grab a copy of Bad Girls of the Bible? Sadly, a lot of people opt for the latter just because it has a "woman's" theme. I think they'd be better off with Ephesians!
A Pastor's Role
Tim Challies wrote an interesting article about the pastor's role in the women's ministry of a church. http://www.challies.com/book-reviews/true-woman-101
To me, one significant reason for the "lite-ness" of so much of the church's women's ministry is due to the pastor's neglect of his duty in this area. It can be quite challenging because it is not usually an area of comfort for men, but I agree with the OP that the tendency of searching the Scriptures for passages/themes which related directly and exclusively to women's issues is part of the reason that so few look to the pastor to lead in teaching the women. Instead of pursuing Biblical womanhood as an end in itself, we ought to pursue discipleship to Biblical maturity. Nothing wrong with a woman pursuing seminary training if she has the opportunity and desire to do so, but the church (and by implication, the pastor) can be and ought to be doing more to train women to teach and lead other women.
Well said!

Available vs. Encouraged
I'd quickly agree that theological training is available to women, but I'm not convinced that it is encouraged. When a young man in a church steps up and says that he believes God is calling him to vocational ministry, he's initiated into a "band of brothers" and encouraged in his theological training. What happens when a young woman says this? The relationship between the academy and church is essential to this conversation. If "theology" is seen as a man's domain, if it is modeled by only men in a church context, women won't associate themselves with it. They'll choose Bad Girls of the Bible because that's what they believe they are supposed to prefer.
Also, I'm uncomfortable with the notion that pastors need to be doing more direct teaching over women. I've seen this as a growing trend among reformed conservative evangelicals and worry that
- 1) It strips gifted women of an area of service.
- 2) It's not consistent with paradigm of Titus 2. (Perhaps for a time to teach a select group of women, but this too belies the current state of women's ministry. If you don't have a woman knowledgeable enough to teach other women, you've got a bigger problem on your hands that how to organize your women's ministry.)
- 3) It invites temptation by putting the pastor in a position of spiritual intimacy that a husband should hold. If a pastor gets up in front of women, leading them spiritually in ways that their husbands do not, the average woman is going to be tempted to shift her respect to him, building emotional ties with him and comparing her husband's spirituality against his. I know this is not intentional on the part of male leadership, but it's something they may not understand about female dynamics.
I agree with your remarks about how men ought not to lead women's studies. I disagree with Challies' blog article (linked above . . . somewhere).
You wrote:

I do want to affirm that the culture of your church will be the deciding factor. We had a lady at my former church who was studying for a BA in Bible. She was heavily involved in Precept Ministries, and ran the ladies bible study (still does!). She was very knowledgeable and passionate. I enjoyed having theological conversations with her, and she emails me every once in a blue moon to talk theological "shop." Some men would be intimidated by that. I think it is wonderful. The culture in the local church will decide whether this kind of thing is "acceptable" or not.
Solid Point
...If "theology" is seen as a man's domain, if it is modeled by only men in a church context, women won't associate themselves with it. They'll choose Bad Girls of the Bible because that's what they believe they are supposed to prefer.
Sometimes I wonder if we've kind of made our own bed in terms of 'barring' women from theological study (speaking as a complementarian, male-only church leadership guy myself) in the fear that we might end up going egalitarian / pro-women pastors. I've seen the materials used in women's studies and to call it "lacking" is a tremendous understatement.
A friend of mine told me that his wife started a Biblical Hebrew class the other day. My first reaction - I wish I could take Hebrew! My second reaction - Good for her!
Thanks for sharing this, Hannah.

I am not sure exactly what to make of your concerns. It is certainly possible for a pastor to ignore gifted women in the congregation and neglect to give them opportunities to teach, and I suppose that in some cases that may be what is happening, but exactly how prevalent do you think that issue is? How exactly should the church prepare gifted women to teach? And what is the pastor's role in that training? Should the pastor ever get up in front of women to teach/preach? Does a Sunday sermon set up a dangerous comparison between the spiritual competency of the pastor and a woman's husband?
It seems to me that the question at the root of this is, "Is the pastor the shepherd of the entire flock or just the male sheep?" Clearly Paul expected Titus to play some role in the training and discipleship of the women of the church, and if the problem of lite-ness is as prevalent as you suggest, then it will not be corrected by better resources but by better pastoral leadership, at least in part.
To pvawter:
To pvawter:
My main concern is with the level of intimacy. A woman (better: a wife) sitting under pastoral teaching in a congregation does so alongside and with her husband. In a woman's ministry, she would sit under his teaching somewhat more autonomously. The relationship is much more immediate and therefore much more vulnerable. Women's groups are designed to be more informal and intimate in order to facilitate growth in a way that can't necessarily happen in larger context.
And, yes I agree that the pastor leads the entire flock, but even in a family, a mother teachers her daughters in ways that are different from a father. There are probably even things that a father should NOT address with his daughters. Creating space for a "mothering" role for gifted women to teach younger women doesn't negate the pastor's oversight in anyway. Teaching women would still be subject to authority of church leadership.
It seems to me that Titus 2
It seems to me that Titus 2 involves more than simply "creating space for a mothering role for gifted women." I mean, your original contention was that women's resources are weak and watered-down, but how is such a problem to be resolved? I don't think the solution will simply appear organically among the ladies of the church, or else Paul would not have instructed Titus to take the lead in ensuring that it happened on Crete. I am not suggesting a wholesale taking-over of the ladies' ministry by the pastor, but he must be involved somehow.
Susan Hunt
She was quoted somewhere here-- her books are excellent-- exactly about how to create Titus 2 relationships among the generations of women. And her idea of women's ministry and discipleship is very meaty.
Wanted to note that I actually have been impressed with some of the Bible study material coming out these days. Wendy Alsup, Karen Campbell (thatmom.com--- not Bible study but great discernment and mentoring), Sally Clarkson, ...
Part of the issue, too, is women being individually in the Word and able to read and study it by themselves. Once a week might add to that, but the personal level is most critical.
I am not suggesting a wholesale taking-over of the ladies' ministry by the pastor, but he must be involved somehow.
Absolutely. And perhaps I wasn't clear. I was referencing situations where elders have become the primary teachers of women's Bible studies.I know of a couple situations where this has happened. Again, I do think a key part of the solution is encouraging women be trained theologically. At a local church level, this may be as simple as the women's ministry leader taking an online or distance-ed class. My concern is that the larger problems with women's discipleship can't be solved by simply leaving all the doctrinal teaching up to the men.

ST. LOUIS — Lance Lynn has gone to the playoffs in each of his first three seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals. On Friday, the 26-year-old righty will start Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Pirates.
Lynn said he is trying to approach it like any other game.
"It doesn't matter if it's regular season, postseason, whatever. You're just thinking about one thing: Get the job done for your team and give them a chance to win," Lynn said.
Lynn earned the Game 2 start by surging in September. He ended the month with four straight quality starts, going 3-1 with a 1.09 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP.
Cardinals manager Mike Matheny announced righty Joe Kelly will start Game 3 on Sunday in Pittsburgh. That means Michel Wacha or Shelby Miller will not start in the series, assuming the Cardinals use a four-man rotation.
Wacha, a first-round pick in 2012, was impressive in 15 outings (nine starts) this season, going 4-1 with a 2.78 ERA. He had a 1.78 ERA in September and gave up just one hit in 8 2⁄3 innings in his final start of the season.
Miller was the first Cardinals rookie since Rick Ankiel in 2000 to start at least 30 games. He went 16-9 with a 3.06 ERA and had a 3.76 ERA in September.
Game 3 time set
Game 3 will start at 4:37 p.m. Sunday at PNC Park. Pittsburgh has hosted several league championship series and World Series games, but this will be the city's first division series game.
Left-hander Francisco Liriano, one of the heroes of Tuesday's wild-card game victory against the Cincinnati Reds, will start for the Pirates.
Game 4, if necessary, will be played Monday at PNC Park. The starting time for that game has not yet been announced.
NLCS tickets
The Pirates will put a limited number of tickets for the National League Championship Series on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday at PNC Park.
Tickets will be sold through a random-numbered distribution system. Numbered wristbands will be distributed from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday and from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. Saturday at PNC Park. Wristbands do not guarantee a ticket.
Roster moves
The Pirates reset their roster for the NL Division Series, swapping a pair of starting pitchers for outfielder Travis Snider and catcher Tony Sanchez.
Snider and Sanchez were on the wild-card roster. For the series against the St. Louis Cardinals, they were replaced by right-handers A.J. Burnett and Charlie Morton.
Manager Clint Hurdle said John Buck's experience — he's a former All-Star who has played 10 seasons in the majors — gave him an edge over Sanchez, a rookie, to be Russell Martin's backup. Buck was traded to the Pirates in August from the New York Mets.
"We feel (Buck) has gotten enough time here to acclimate and ready himself for all the pitchers on our staff," Hurdle said. "That being said, our second catcher probably isn't going to play much (in the playoffs)."
Other pitchers on the Pirates' roster are Gerrit Cole, Jeanmar Gomez, Jason Grilli, Francisco Liriano, Vin Mazzaro, Mark Melancon, Bryan Morris, Tony Watson and Justin Wilson.
The infielders are Pedro Alvarez, Clint Barmes, Josh Harrison, Garrett Jones, Jordy Mercer, Justin Morneau, Gaby Sanchez and Neil Walker. The outfielders are Andrew McCutchen, Starling Marte, Jose Tabata and Marlon Byrd.
Snider batted .221 with four homers off the bench this season. However, Hurdle said Tabata will be the first choice as a pinch hitter and Harrison's multiposition versatility — especially at third base — made him more valuable than Snider.
Byrd flew south
Last offseason, Byrd played in the Mexican Winter League to improve his ability to hit breaking balls. It's unusual for a veteran to opt for Mexico, but Byrd had a special reason to go south.
"He wanted to improve an area of his game," Hurdle said. "Where better to go than Mexico in a league full of pitchers that spin the ball and are not concerned about establishing the fastball? He has no ego. He has no fear."
Byrd wanted to become more effective against curveballs for matchups against pitchers like Cardinals Game 1 starter Adam Wainwright, who has the second-best curveball in the NL, according to Fangraphs.com.
"It's not a pitch to hit. It's a pitch he wants swings on," Byrd said of Wainwright's curveball. "He's unbelievable at locating, at throwing it short behind the plate. … You don't see spin. That what makes him so good. The breaking ball is so tight."
Around the horn
Thursday's 9-1 setback was the Pirates' worst loss to open a playoff series since an 8-3 defeat against the Reds in the 1975 NL Championship Series. … Burnett was bounced after giving up seven runs in two-plus innings. It was the shortest postseason outing by a Pirates starter since John Smiley lasted two-thirds of an inning in Game 7 of the 1991 NLCS. … Alvarez's home run was the first by a Pirates third baseman in the playoffs since Bill Madlock went deep in the 1979 NLCS against the Reds. … Owner Bob Nutting and president Frank Coonelly will be in St. Louis for both games this week.

It is hard enough to learn to shot and even harder if you develop a "Flinch" from high power, high noise, loads, while
figuring out what you should be doing.
A good grip (push/pull)and stance is a must............. locked arms and a death grip will wear you out. Instruction may be
the best way to get the ball rolling if possible but lots of rounds down range will work, over time.
Might look at a few gun shows on the "Sportsman channels" that give advise on how to shoot and give SD tactics.
good luck.

I've found that most of the books I've run across are outdated and do not teach what the top guys in the industry are doing.

It wont reduce conflict in the region if our oil interests are reduced. Henry ford for all his anti semetic quackery rightfully believe to a degree that trade could bring peace (much like the old european monachs entra-marrying helped reduce warfare, when our economies are so related .... hopefully we dont just jump and fight over silly shit.) Because of the relationships in the global economy, reducing our oil comsumption will not help if our interests in china are met with resistance in oil rich countries. Our allies that are worth two shits fight for their interests here, and our tens/hundreds of billions of investement going into china every year isnt going to be let just fade away cause of some oil embargo or sqauble.
I'm definatly thinking long term here. I think that part of our problem is we keep trying to make short term fixes rather than trying to fix the problem. Even if we put our full effort into hydrogen powered car right now it'd probably be 5 years at least before you see even limited production, another 5 before you see sales to the general public, and yet another 5 years before they're out there in significant enough numbers to reduce oil consumption. But if we don't start it'll never happen. Once they're avalible though they'll be avalible world wide so demand for oil will drop everywhere. It may not reduce conflict in the region but it will reduce the effect those conflicts have on our lives and allow us to deal with them without worring about our oil supply.
I'm not a big fan of all the investment we're putting into China, but thats a whole other topic.

I agree. And if they want to keep fighting I have no problem with letting them fight. Why should we get involved?

Probably not anytime real soon, but again, I'm thinking long term. Most of the power plants built lately are natural gas fires which i think is stupid. Natural Gas makes such a good home heating and cooking fuel I hate to see us use it up making electricity. Again, short term thinking. I'm guessing that they're probably the cheapest type of power plant to build, so I see it as power companies trying ot make a quick buck with minimal investment. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is moving ahead with nuclear power. Eventually we'll realize that if some 3rd world country can safely run them then so can we.

The retailiation for unprovoked attach a la Iraq attacking Kuwait ? We are still dealing with the repercussions, and i dont see how you can agree with that part CMUjeeper
or you mikeL? Or unless you guys meant you agree with FUTURE unprovoked attacks and we will use bill clinton english and debate what
is for years before we react(like what the meaning of the word is "is" ???
I never said that we shouldn't use trade embargos or military might as encouragements. Treat them like little kids, give them a cookie when they behave and make them sit by themselves in the corner whan they don't. If they really piss us off we whomp thier ass. But I'm not buying the "worlds policemen" role that some people think we should play. I just don't think we should get involved between groups that have been fighting since the begining of time.
And yes, trying to decide what was an "unprovoked" attack is never easy and will have to be decided on a case by case basis.
BTW what "repercussions" are we dealing with from Iraq attacking Kuwait? That war ended in 1992. This current war had little to do with that one.

I agree that "steming the growth" would be a win. But as long as we keep messing with the politics of that part of the world they'll keep coming at us.

As the title satates are the immobaliser and the hazard switch linked in any way?
I say this as messing around with my hazard switch i managed to stop my car working :-(
originally was just a blown fuse, so changed that and it worked. Then connected the switch up again (this time more carefully so no fuses get blown) and the car wouldnt work again....
checked the fuses and they are all fine, checked the battery and it is fully charged, all my ICE works fine, but the engine wont turn over....sounds like my battery is dead, or the immmobaliser is stopping it from starting, but battery is fine and i cant understand what I'v done, if anyhting, to the immobaliser.
any ideas??

Another week in sunny Sarawak, this beautiful unspoilt area. My last afternoon in Kuching we rode out to a village with a longhouse. These are tribal, communal buildings built mostly of bamboo on stilts with living areas subdivided for families but the veranda, kitchen, store houses etc shared. This one was almost a village on stilts with 'streets' going off it. It was much more ramshackle than the small neat examples at the cultural village. There was now electricity, and you could glimpse the odd TV, but the water was still collected from the river beside. Some living areas were padlocked and an old woman making baskets said that many families had moved to the towns. I always feel somewhat uncomfortable on these occasions, the 'rich' tourist come to gawp at their way of life, but it was fascinating to see nonetheless.
So Saturday off to Sibu by bus, a long bumpy journey. Sibu is a busy port, the last place linking the China sea with the Batang Rejang river. Again I had arrived on the day that the huge pagoda temple, with magnificent views from the top, was closed. I spent the day wandering around the fascinating street markets. I confess to having problems with meals. There is an abundance of eating places but they do not have menus and they make the dishes up as they are asked for - difficult when you haven't a clue what anything is called and also have a dread of ending up with seafood of a 'slimy' nature. The market stalls are OK as you can point to things, but you then there's nowhere to eat it in the busy throng. I refuse to resort to the KFCs which are everywhere, and usually end up with noodles and something or other but never the same thing twice.
Next day another bus to Miri, an oil town that is the jumping off point for the Mulu National Park. On both buses I had been the only non-Malaysian. The buses stop every so often but nobody seemed able to tell me for how long so I hardly dared move away. When the drivers were ready it was one loud blast of the horn and away. No such thing as a head count. On the Miri bus I was sitting next to a Malaysian girl. We didn't talk, but I offered her one of my mangy biscuits which she refused. At the next stop when we got back on she had bought me some chopped local fruit and a bunch of rambutan, red horse chestnut-like things with a delicious lychee-like fruit inside. She had to show me how to open them, which is a two-handed twist around the middle. I was very touched by this act of kindness.
On the subject of fruit I had, in Kuching, sampled the local 'king of the fruits' durian, a huge very prickly thing the size and weight of a medicine ball, much revered and loved in Malaysia. It opened into segments of white gooey stuff like ice cream mixed with marshmallow which you scooped out and sort of sucked up. I had been warned it had a very strong smell but didn't expect it to taste as bad as it smelt and to linger with you for days to come. I will give this one a miss in future. Sorry. All other fruits are lovely and the selection makes Sainsbury's shelves seem boring and bare.
I had been emailed by Jeremy and Gay, who live in Miri. They collected me from my hotel and took me out for a meal and back to their bungalow for coffee and a quick read of my email. I love this interactive travelling - people are so kind. They have even offered me the use of their washing machine when I return from the park - an offer they may regret when I open my bag! I had a shock in their car when on the radio I heard Capital Radio! Apparently it was the favourite station of one of the Brunei royal family when in England so he had it beamed out to Brunei, just across the border from Miri.
Time for my second national park, Mulu. This park can only be reached by plane, so it was another new experience flying in a twin-engine Otter below the clouds with a wonderful view of the ground below. A few patches of land totally denuded by logging were a reminder of the conflicting demands on this land, rich in natural resources but with an economy devastated by the Asian financial crisis of a few years ago.
I had decided to forgo the extremely expensive travel agency tours, with prearranged trips and guides and play it by ear when I arrived. A very wise decision as it turned out as guides are totally unnecessary and the system of permits a lottery. This was my first real taste of hostel living - a different experience from the cheap hotels I had opted for so far. What you lose in privacy is gained in mixing easily with other travellers. In the three days I was there, two Canadians, two Americans, a Slovakian, two Swedes, a German and an assortment of English came and went, all (with one exception)very friendly and good fun.
That first night I had left a plastic bag of odds and ends of food beside my bed and was woken by loud rustling sounds from the bag. I froze but decided there was no way I could get back to sleep with my imagination running riot - cockroach? lizard? monkey? deadly snake? - the creatures were growing bigger by the second. Finding my torch I grabbed the bag, still rustling, flung it in the kitchen and closed the door. When I dared to look next morning what ever it was had long gone so I will never know.
Mulu park has the largest limestone cave system in the world. There are four show caves. Wednesday I set off for the Deer and Lang caves. With what appears to be becoming my usual timing I picked the day the generator broke down so the caves were not lit. Deer cave is huge, home to millions of bats. The towering walls and rock formations are all covered with a layer of guano. You had to be careful not to gape too much at the magnitude of the cave as the smell of ammonia was very powerful, or to not slip on the fine layer of droppings on the walkway. There was quite a lot of natural light here, but when I saw the pitch black entrance to Lang cave I decided my little torch was not up to the job. I sat on a rock and waited for someone else to arrive. First along were a group of about 10 young Malaysians sporting a good array of torches and flashlights. I showed them my torch and they immediately agreed I would be better off with them. In the cave the weird and beautiful rocks, stalagmites and stalactites were amazing. At times there was an Escher-like impossibility to their twists and turns.
I then parked myself at the bat observatory to await the nightly exit of the Two million or so bats from Deer cave, usually about 5.30, and was gradually joined by about 20 other people. By 6.45, no sign of a bat, it was getting dark and most people had gone. Five of us were determined to stick it out and were rewarded after 7pm by a couple of short strings and a doughnut or two of bats emerging. Whether they had missed their afternoon fix of electric light, or the rare lack of rain for two days upset them, or they knew that I had waited three hours with camera at the ready, I do not know. But whatever the reason, tonight was definitely not the night! That meant that the 45 minute walk back with a couple from KL had to be done by the light of my little torch. I also had the embarrassment of slipping on some wet leaves and landing heavily on my backside.
The next day most of the hostel were setting off for the three-day trek to the pinnacles. I had decided against this when a couple of the very fit young men said it was hard! That left me and superfit Canadian Dave, the postman who jogs his round. I asked if he minded if Sue, the not very fit netjetter, joined him on the 4km walk to the other caves. He gallantly said not at all. Wind Cave was another impressive display of nature being artistic in stone.
Clearwater Cave is 51km long with a stream going through it. At the end of the walkway, a few 100m in, I left Dave the jogging postman forging on into the unlit depths of the cave following the stream. I decided if he had not returned by midnight I would alert the authorities. A few ringits to a boatman saw me hitching a boat ride back, joining a rather bewildered family on their way back to the posh hotel further down the river from the park.(Dave did eventually return many hours later.)
That afternoon a few of us were invited to have coffee on the veranda of the house of one of the local Berawan tribe. We were told the story of the tribe's struggle to save their traditional lands from the loggers and developers. They had reluctantly agreed to have an area of their land declared the national park - Mulu, but then 20 acres more were 'sold' to developers with government and Japanese connections, for a pittance and the Royal Mulu Resort (the posh hotel) was built.
Since the early 1990s they have been trying to acquire another 250 acres to build a golf course. This and the extension of the tiny airport would involve the demolition of two huge limestone hills. The Berawan have resisted through the courts, saying this is Native Customary Rights land, and through a peaceful demonstration, where four were arrested. An arson attack on the parks generators also led to more arrests and alleged beatings. The dispute rumbles on in the courts, but we were shown the heavy machinery already active at the base of one of the hills. The locals try to enlist support from foreign visitors to the park. Unfortunately for them, the people who stay in the park - although the last people to want golf courses and monorails - are mostly backpackers, the people with money and clout stay in the Resort. It is a story repeated at many levels all over the world. I personally hope the Berawan retain their rights to decide the future of their land, but history and the way the modern world works are heavily against them. I consider myself fortunate to travel here now, what will 10 years bring?
I enjoyed Mulu very much but the only trails were to the caves and the Pinnacles. I would have enjoyed other half day walks if they had been available.
Last week I changed my tickets and extended my stay in Sarawak a few more days rather than rush everything. I'm off to the Niah national park on Sunday and then on to Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday. Can one become addicted to rainforests? I wonder how the peninsular will compare to Sarawak? I'll let you know over the next couple of weeks.
May I just wish my friend Philip a speedy recovery from his op? I tend to think of England as in suspended animation while I am away. It is strange to think of the lives of family, friends and work carrying on with all the usual twists and turns of life. I seem to be in philosophical mood this week!

Cyprus proved to be no pushovers against their more fancied opponents in Guimaraes...
Cyprus surprisingly went in front after three minutes when Efstathios Aloneftis peeled away from Miguel before audaciously lobbing Eduardo.
Portugal were level five minutes later when Hugo Almeida displayed his aerial prowess by heading a near-post cross from Nani into the far corner of the net.
Cyprus retook the lead on eleven minutes when Raul Meireles got in a tangle, releasing the visitors' record goalscorer Michalis Konstantinou who beat Bruno Alves to the ball to blast home into the net. Suddenly the Portuguese backline that had seemed impregnable in the World Cup was being repeatedly breached.
Raul Meireles then atoned for his previous mistake just before the half-hour with a fizzing strike from 25 yards which deceived Cypriot goalkeeper Antonis Georgallides as it bounced wickedly off the turf.
Portugal completed a superb comeback when Fabio Coentrao crossed from the left and Danny headed home with the help of both Sinisa Dobrasinovic and the crossbar.
But Cyprus was not done yet as substitute and record cap holder Ioannis Okkas made it 3-3 on 57 minutes when he raced onto Charalambides' through ball and coolly slid the ball home past Eduardo with his first touch of the game.
Manuel Fernandes blasted the ball home into the top corner to give Portugal the lead after Ricardo Quaresma's corner was cleared to the edge of the box.
Cyprus snatched a dramatic late equaliser when Eduardo spilled Dobrasinovic's shot into the path of Andreas Avraam who stooped to head the ball home.
Portugal travel to Oslo to face Norway on Tuesday while Cyprus' next qualifier is next month at home to the same opposition.

taking a water filter out
I am moving and would like to take my water filter with me. I tapped into a copper pipe. How do I cap this when I remove the water filter?
not sure how you tapped into the supply line, if you used a fitting common to this install, you can just turn the handle off on the valve, of coure I'm assuming you have this shut-off there.
they make caps that can be sweated onto the tubing to close it off, find them in any plumbing department.....but what do i know? i'm just a cartoon mouse......

My dog is a 13 year old Pekingese. She seems to be constipated, because when she tries to poop a little bit comes out but is still attached to her rectum. I went to wash it off her butt with warm water and she started bleeding. It was a bloody mucus that was coming out. Please tell me what I can do for her. I can't afford a vet because I am having money problems as it is because I am currently disabled due to a work related injury.

It sounds like she has swallowed a Bone, or other object, probably from Resource Guarding.
She needs to be taken to a Vet, and have an XRay done, to see if a Surgical Extraction is necessary.
IF you don't, you could loose her.
But, in the mean time, you should put her food in a Blender with a little warm water, and make her a "Soup". That will pass around the obstruction and provide her with some nutrition, IF you decide not to medically intervene in this life threatening situation.

See if you can talk to the vet to make payments. Or maybe they can tell you more what to do on the phone if you explain the situation. This dog needs help, please do not wait.

This is not really a Mathematica question, but a mathematics one ...
I will use Mathematica notation in the following, but the equations
are not meant to be entered to Mathematica ...
The equation of a plane passing through v0 = {x0,y0,z0} with normal
vector n = {p,q,r} is n.(v-v0) == 0 (this is the single equation that
you need to figure out), where v = {x,y,z}.
Expanding this equation we get p x - p x0 + q y - q y0 + r z - r z0 == 0
Matching coefficients with your equation z == c + a x + b y we get
that p == a, q == b, r == -1.

Philadelphia • A propane tank on a food truck in Philadelphia exploded into a fireball, critically injuring a mother and daughter and sending at least nine others to the hospital, police said.
The truck exploded Tuesday evening outside an auto body shop in the city's Feltonville neighborhood.
Authorities said a 42-year-old woman and her 17-year-old daughter, who were working on the food truck, were in critical condition Wednesday with burns across a substantial portion of their bodies. Also hospitalized were a 27-year-old woman, a 23-year-old man and a 13-year-old girl. Chief Inspector Scott Small said about seven more people were treated and released.

Damian Carrington's blog + Nuclear power
Damian Carrington: Huge, expensive and difficult to build, Hinkley is a throwback to the last century, just as the world is embracing the smart energy systems of the future
These alternatives to the troubled planned nuclear plant will be faster to build and cheaper for energy consumers, say experts
While the Paris climate summit is set to launch the world towards renewable energy, UK energy secretary Amber Rudd is backing nuclear power and gas
The official admission blows a hole in already bewildering UK energy plans, which back the failed and expensive over the cheap and successful
Damian Carrington: The UK government is pushing ahead with the £24.5bn plant, despite widespread condemnation of what critics say will be an expensive mistake
Damian Carrington: The debate on nuclear power and climate change needs to be about technology, cost, location and speed. Robert Stone's new film says nothing about any of this
Damian Carrington: The cost of nuclear energy has tripled in just five years, while the cost of renewable energy is falling fast, making the UK government's deal a truly terrible one
Damian Carrington: The former energy minister says the government and EDF have too much to lose to not agree on nuclear subsidies and warns that political rows over energy increase bills
Damian Carrington: The region's complex geology has already been rejected once. More astonishingly, 60 years of the nuclear age has yet to produce a single deep disposal site anywhere on Earth
Damian Carrington: In allowing George Osborne's dash for gas to run, the coalition has staked our energy bills on a long-odds gamble. We'll all pay the price
Damian Carrington: The hype of a 'hundred-year commitment" to nuclear power in the UK after Hitachi buys the Horizon project may one day look less significant than progress on burying carbon
Damian Carrington: Continued secrecy, shown in stupidly brief minutes of official meetings, and entrenched attitudes lead to daft ideas like community-owned reactors
Damian Carrington: With crunch decisions imminent on the UK's energy and climate change future, a new poll suggests government policy is out of step with public opinion
Damian Carrington: The government won't say, despite ploughing on with a subsidy policy that grows more absurd with every new revelation
Damian Carrington: Critics of the atomic phase-out said energy emissions, costs and imports would all rise. They were wrong
Damian Carrington: The smart money is on energy efficiency and renewables yet a government terrified of "backing winners" appears happy to back the nuclear, oil and gas losers
A year on from Fukushima's meltdown, an extraordinarily clear-eyed analysis from an industry veteran rails against the 'prophecies' made by all sides of the debate
Damian Carrington: An 18m tonne rise in greenhouse gases is due to the nation's dreadfully draughty homes and fickleness of nuclear power: new boy Ed Davey must deal with both
Damian Carrington: A new, exclusive opinion poll shows public support for replacing the UK's ageing nuclear plants has recovered, although some citizens are far less convinced than others
Its support remains steadfast but not without a few indiscreet words slipping out at Labour conference on subsidies and public consultations
Damian Carrington: The new delays and bumper cost overruns of EDF's new reactor in France make it very hard to believe that nuclear power can fulfil the promises its supporters make
Damian Carrington: The debate over nuclear energy is fiendishly complex, but one important factor is public opinion, and people in 24 nations across the world oppose it
Damian Carrington: The world's third and fourth biggest economies have abandoned plans for new reactors, believing renewables and efficiency can fill the gap
Damian Carrington: Coastal erosion and UK tsunamis are a cause of concern for vulnerable nuclear power stations, says leading geologist
Damian Carrington: Twenty five years on from Chernobyl, the heated debate on nuclear power remains resistant to cold facts: simply too few are known. But making your own judgements on five key questions will lead to your answer

On Sunday's episode of "Meet the Press", Georgetown University Professor Michael Eric Dyson and former Sen. Jim DeMint sparred over the impact of the Supreme Court gutting the Voting Rights Act. Dyson insisted that the VRA is necessary today not because of 'ghosts' of racism, but because of actual infringements on voting rights in states covered by the VRA.
When host David Gregory asked Dyson where we should go from here considering that the Supreme Court has decided that the "ghosts of the 1960's can no longer be held against those states, particularly in the South," Dyson made it clear that this debate isn't about ghosts.
"Well, it's not the ghosts, you know, it's the real, living problems that are presented. Think about Attorney General Holder's response to this, talking about the corrosion of the foundations of American democracy," said Dyson.
He pointed out that Texas' redistricting plan and South Carolina's ID plan were both rejected by lower courts, federal courts, in Texas and South Carolina today. Not 50 years ago, not 40 years ago.
Dyson also drew attention to the fact that prior to the court's decision, approving the Voting Rights Act had been a bipartisan act.
"You know, what's interesting here is that in 2006 Congress and George Bush signing the legislation reviewed this and, in a bipartisan way, found that it was compelling evidence to suggest that we needed these protections," added Dyson.
"The courts didn't throw out the Voting Rights Act," DeMint countered, "just one section that used 50-year-old voting participation records."

Although utilities prices are rising, consumer goods prices are coming down. And that includes bike gear. You would think perhaps it was time for all of us to run out and hoard rain gear, but the irony of deflation, is we tend to spend less. The moment we figure prices will continue to fall—that last year's $4000 carbon wheel set on sale now for $2000 will be $1000 in a few months—we are on the cusp of a great revelation. We are about to see that everything under lights in the shops is just resin and steel from the same factory in China from which we might buy direct for a few bucks, if we just looked on eBay or alibaba. I'm waiting for the day when online bike stores outnumber pirate movie and porn sites and have to give away all their stock as free samples, just so people come to their sites and click on dating site ads in the margins.
In the race toward a post-retail future, Germany is the nation to watch. They have gotten so tight, the Yanks have just had to reprimand them. From the commentary I've heard on this issue, I gather American capitalists fear a Malthusian cloud falling from the firmament, engulfing the world in economic depression and pinko politics, if German attitudes toward spending spread throughout Europe.
From where I stand though, those days have already come. Smart people in my elite sphere have passed over spending as something very last year. If they spend at all, they will do so on gumtree. But they're not spending money in shops.
So who do shop keepers speak to? Folks without PhDs, I suppose. I ever they do have occasion to speak to someone clued up, it could only be over the phone. They will be calling from interstate, having just searched the internet and identified some piece of inventory gathering dust at the back of the shopkeeper's storeroom. I was that customer two weeks ago, buying a frame from some interstate shop I will never visit. With the help of a few friends with tools, knowhow and old parts, I have since turned this frame I picked up below cost, into a bike.
Though it's been made with more leftovers than my mother's fried rice, it rides like a dream and photographs as well as anything I might have had custom made for me in Portland. But that would have been back in the days when spending was hip. To think, that was just one year ago.
