"Matt Ender was born to play music, compose, and score for film and Television. It comes as natural to him as light comes from the sun. However it is his passion for the creation of his debut CD Ancient Isle that shows his true love for music."
If you could hear what was on this CD, and then read this quote, you would realize just as I have exactly how silly this man must be. He was "born to play music for film and Television," according to the bio I received on him, but what this means is that he wrote music for "All My Children" for one season before they dropped him. Then he went on to write music for the movie "The Secret Files of J Edgar Hoover." That's about it.
Matt Ender
Ancient Isle
Now, through inspirations such as Enya, Deep Forest, and Riverdance, he's composed his first CD. The songs sound like they're trying to be cathartic and relaxing, but end up being a little rushed and edgy. The reason for this might be the introduction of an electronic drum machine into some of the songs (at least that's what it sounds like). Actually, I get this picture of him taking a drum machine into a folk music store, hooking it up and turning it on, and then running around randomly grabbing instruments and quickly trying to play, deep, meaningful music on penny whistles and bamboo flutes into whatever he's recording with, but the guy who owns the store keeps yelling at him to put things away and get out. I can't be sure, but this bio I have does admit that "The meaning of the songs is just as intriguing for the listener."
I have to admit, though, it seems like he put alot of effort into making this CD. It's probably the cheesiest thing I've ever encountered, though, and I'm not just saying this because I don't like folk music. I really enjoy this genre; the folk guitarist Al Petteway is one of my favorite musicians, as is Billy Miller, one of the most famous flute players at Renaissance Faires all over the country (particularly in Wisconsin). But poor Matt Ender just doesn't do it for me. If you feel sorry for him and would like to sympathize, his website is www.maelstrompr.com.

Although perhaps best known for "Sonnets from the Portuguese" (1850), Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote poetry that was often of a political nature, earning her a wide audience throughout the 19th century. Her first publication, a long poem in the style of Homer, The Battle of Marathon (1820), reflects the scholarship and talent of someone much older than her fourteen years at the time. The first collection of her work, An Essay on Mind, with Other Poems (1826), featured a long poem in the style of Alexander Pope's essay poems. Having determined that writing was her calling, she subsequently published new collections titled after their lead poems, Prometheus Bound, and Other Poems (1833) and The Seraphim, and Other Poems (1838).
The work that won her recognition as an influential poet at the time was titled simply Poems (1844). Its two volumes contained "Lady Geraldine's Courtship," the most popular of the volumes' poems; her revision of Paradise Lost, "A Drama of Exile"; a number of sonnets; the influential poem on child factory workers, "The Cry of the Children"; and "Catarina to Camöens," the poem most admired by her husband and reflected in "Sonnets from the Portuguese." EBB substantially revised and added to these works, publishing editions of Poems again in 1850, 1853, and 1856. The 1856 edition, in three volumes, is the last of these that she had a hand in revising and serves as the copytext for the majority of poems in this project.
The last collection published in her lifetime was Poems before Congress (1860). Poems published subsequent to that volume and others left unpublished at her death in 1861 but that she indicated she wished to see published were collected by her husband, Robert Browning, in Last Poems (1862).

TOP STORY >>Air base education center hits funding snag
By JOHN HOFHEIMER
Leader staff writer
Because the Republican-dominated 109th Congress adjourned last year without approving the 2007 budget, $9.8 million earmarked for the Little Rock Air Force Base-Jacksonville joint education center is on hold and work cannot begin, according to Mike Wilson, a local attorney.
The Congress has not yet enacted defense authorization bills, along with other major authorization bills, Wilson said.
Normally, all appropriation bills are enacted and become effective Oct. 1, he said.
Meanwhile, the entire government is funded by operating on a continuing resolution.
Specifically, the last Congress never approved the military construction bill, said one man familiar with the process. It was authorized by Congress, but not appropriated.
It has to be specifically appropriated, he said.
Jacksonvilles $5 million share of a new, $15 million Community/Little Rock Air Force Base Education Center will be added to the Air Forces $10 million share and the construction and expenditures will be overseen by representatives of the Secretary of Air Force and Mayor Tommy Swaim, once the authorization problem is resolved.
Wilson hopes construction of the approximately 80,000-squar-foot centerto be located on the base, but outside the fenced security perimeterwill begin this spring.
In 2003, Jacksonville voters overwhelmingly voted a two-year, one-penny sales tax to raise the citys share of what was then thought to be a $10 million facility.
The education center already exists on the base, but access to it has become much more difficult for civilians in the wake of heightened security after Sept. 11, 2001.
The new education center, to be located near the intersection of Vandenberg Boulevard and John Harden, will be more accessible to civilians and airmen not living on the base.
It also affects many millions of dollars worth of BRAC construction earmarked for the base and bases across the country.
The current continuing resolution runs out in February, and its possible that when reenacted, language could be added to say all things specifically authorized are deemed to be appropriated, he added.
The deeming as it as known, would allow the military construction projects to move forward. Typically, they must be completed within five years of the authorization.
Passage of the 2007 appropriation bills is further complicated because of the new Democratic-controlled Congress.

This brand new track from Powerman 5000 entitled "Invade, Destory, Repeat" is seriously my favorite since back in the day when this band first hit the scene. It's simply heavy, meaty, and good.

By Marc Inocencio
Do long-distance relationships really work? According to Justin Bieber's new emotional track, "Hard 2 Face Reality," it's really not that easy, especially for a pop superstar.
Featuring guest vocals from Atlanta singer-songwriter Poo Bear, the R&B-heavy song contains somber verses that suggest a difficult long-distance relationship: "I know it's hard away from home / It ain't easy all alone / relationships over the phone / talkin' to your significant other all night long."
Justin also dropped the acoustic ballad, "We Were Born For This":
Following the surprise releases, the Journals artist teased his fans on Twitter, saying, "Big things happening" and "Excited for what's next."

The Canadian singer — who has been in an on-again-off-again relationship with Selena Gomez — also revealed how he would one day propose to his "future wife" in an Instagram photo he shared on Saturday.
"Was gonna wait to go to Central Park for when I proposed to my future wife," he writes. "But s**t sometimes things change. [crown emoji] I'll think of something more romantic."

Report: California High-Speed Rail Won't Meet Travel Time Requirement
"Louis Thompson, chairman of the High-Speed Rail Peer Review Group, a state-sanctioned panel of outside experts, testified (at a hearing held on March 27 by the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee) that 'real world engineering issues' will cause schedules for regular service to exceed the target of two hours and 40 minutes," writes Ralph Vartabedian.
The time is critical if the train is to meet the requirements specified in the 2008 ballot measure, Proposition 1A. The Ballotpedia version states.
The train, if built, will run between San Francisco and Los Angeles, with Anaheim, California, designated as the southern terminus of the initial segment of the high-speed train system. Estimates are that the train system, if it is built, will be completed in 2030, and that it will take passengers between San Francisco and Los Angeles in about 2 hours and 40 minutes.
A court ruling last November has prevented legislators from authorizing the Prop 1A, $9.95 billion of general obligation bonds. "Projected trip times are a point of contention in that court battle."
However, Gov. Jerry Brown is counting on $250 million in cap-and-trade funds to provide the required share to tap federal funds as we noted in January, and "a third of all the revenue from cap and trade revenue in future years." Yet those funds must be approved by the state legislature, and the chairman of the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee clearly wasn't pleased with the findings of Thompson's report.
Sen. Mark DeSaulnier (D-Concord), the transportation panel chairman, warned rail officials that they may not have the votes needed to pass Brown's request. DeSaulnier said he would probably vote against it himself.
Thompson added that "(t)he state might be able to demonstrate a train that could make the trip that fast, but not on scheduled service, he told lawmakers. High Speed Rail Authority officials said after the hearing that they would meet the requirements of state law, but did not specifically say that trains would operate at the faster travel times," writes Vartabedian.
Mother Jones political blogger, Kevin Drum, didn't mince his words in his blog on the Peer Review Group's report.
Somebody put a stake through this project. Please. LA to San Francisco is just not a good showcase for high-speed rail. Even the true believers [e.g. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom] have to be getting cold feet by now.

Kameron Kramer, a 2L, was a member of BrackisH2O, a team that took third place and the vSpring Capital Prize of $5,000 in the Fourth Annual UNM Technology Business Plan Competition. The team's award-winning business plan centered on an eco-friendly antiscalant for the desalination of brackish water in the Southwest.
His teammates were Stephanie Fletcher, a master's accounting student; Dorian McKenzie, a bachelor's student in entrepreneurial studies and Robert Randolph, a bachelor's student in marketing.
Eleven teams competed, including Venture Catalyst, a law-school team made up of Neill Benton (3L), James Burns (2L) and Matthew Sanchez (2L). Their project involved solar power technology using organic carbon nanotubes.
The UNM Technology Business Plan Competition, sponsored by the Anderson School of Management, encourages UNM students from all UNM schools and colleges to collaborate on teams that commercialize technology products developed at UNM, Sandia National Labs, Los Alamos National Lab or elsewhere in the state.
These student-owned startup firms bring inventions from lab to market and have the potential to boost economic development in New Mexico. Top prize for the competition is the $25,000 Michael Gallegos Prize for Entrepreneurship. TVC Lockheed Martin sponsors the $10,000 second place prize, and vSpring Capital offers the third place $5,000 prize.

New Holy Spirit High School football coach John Iannucci won't be able to ease into the season.
The Spartans open Friday at Hammonton, last season's South Jersey Group III finalist.
Spirit then travels to its biggest rival and defending state Non-Public I champion St. Joseph on Saturday, Sept. 15.
"We can't make our whole season those two games," Iannucci said. "We're a young team. We're going to get better and better. I think we have a good chance in the first two games but after that I think we'll get better and better."
Spirit is the defending state Non-Public II champion but returns few players from last season's team, with just two starters back on offense and five on defense.
Spirit hired Iannucci in January after last season's head coach, Charles Roman, left to become an assistant at St. Augustine Prep. Roman was 35-9 and won two state titles in his four seasons.
Iannucci, 58, is a career football coach. He's been the head coach at nine high schools, including Cherry Hill East from 2004-06.
Like with any new coach, Iannucci's arrival has meant changes for the Spartans.
"They're good kids," Iannucci said of the Spartans. "They're fighting through. We practice different then the way they used to practice. Every coach is different. We hit a little bit more. We wear pads a little bit more."
Iannucci is famed for coaching the triple-option offense and that is what the Spartans will run this season.
Spirit is young. The Spartans won't start a senior on defense. But they are also talented and may have more team speed than last year.
Sophomore C.J. LaFragola steps in at quarterback.
"He's the perfect kid for the (triple option)," Iannucci said. "He can run. He's smart. He reads well. He's going to be real good. It's just going to take a bit of time."
Running backs Talib Gerald and A.J. Dawson give the Spartans speed in the backfield. Dawson, who is also a force at cornerback, won the Cape-Atlantic League 200-meter dash title last spring. Dawson also won the fastest defensive back at a Rutgers University invitational camp this summer.
"We're deep at running back," Iannucci said. "This is as probably as good speed as I've had in my (coaching) career."
Spirit featured huge offensive and defensive lines the past few years. The Spartans will also have some size up front this year with senior Steve Domonoski (6-foot-4, 295 pounds) and junior Ray Ellis (6-2, 257).
Spirit does get one scheduling break. The Spartans get a bye after the St. Joe game.

Logic and Raze are "...STILL untitled"
Collaboration is something that is crucial to the growth of a music scene. People pushing each other to create better music, while inspiring new directions, keep participating individuals' view on creation fresh and hopefully frenzied.
Two Milwaukee artists with quality material already in their past somehow found each other and decided to try working on some new music together. What took place is the creation of an album that pushed both artists beyond anything they had previously done.
The artists are The Hollowz emcee Logic and former House of M rapper/producer/engineer Raze, and the album, "...STILL untitled," is their debut together.
"...STILL untitled" pushes both Logic and Raze into unfamiliar stylistic territory. On several tracks, Logic takes the time to develop his smooth singing style while Raze tackles depths of production and engineering not heard on any of his previous efforts.
The two emcees also force each other to step up their already noteworthy ability to rap, which gets them to shed any sense of being stuck in a rut.
Undoubtedly the Caucasian and African-American duo will be compared to Bad Meets Evil, the side project of Eminem and Royce Da 5'9", but limiting the scope of what "...STILL untitled" accomplishes in its music to what the Detroit duo of Eminem and Royce have set forth between "Hell" and "Hell: The Sequel" isn't fair to Logic and Raze.
Though "...STILL untitled" is largely produced by Raze, the album also features an intriguing lineup of Milwaukee guest producers and rappers. Former Miltown Beat Down champion Jihad Baracus dishes up two neck-breaking beats. Founder and former member of the House of M, Lou Tang, delivers the beat for their most recent single, "Thirsty." Frequent collaborator A.P.R.I.M.E. of local favorite hip-hop group AUTOMatic also has several verses on the album, while spoken word poet Bobby Drake delivers a fantastic piece on the final track of the album.
Before they release their new album "...STILL untitled" Friday at the Cactus Club, Logic and Raze discussed their motivations for making music together as well as what this new album means to them.
OnMilwaukee.com: Why did you two decide to do an album as a duo?
Marquis "Raze" Norris: Well, I originally wanted to do an album primarily around my production with only a few spots where I performed. Logic, being the restless ADHD-ish dude that he is, was still in the creative mode from The Hollowz album. I had a song I wanted to put out, kind of as a primer for a new "sound" I was going after, called "Off My Rocker," which featured Logic. Turns out I gave him a few more beats to check out and the chemistry was immediate. We just started working on songs with a "let's just put something out, no concepts, just because" attitude, and lots of concepts, demos and introspection later we're "...STILL untitled."
OMC: How did you play off of each other during the making of the album? Did you inspire each other equally or how did you come up with the ideas that you did for the songs on the album?
MN: Honestly, that was the weird part. We rarely wrote together. I would give him skeletons of beats, some I had a concept for, others I didn't. For those that I didn't, he would hit me up within a couple days and say he had something, come to the studio, demo it and we were off to the races. Other times he'd slip me a song that he liked and wanted to see how I could flip it (sample it). I think I surprised him with "The Fallen" though. His face lit up when I played the beat for him. It was sampled from him and his wife's wedding song.
Colin "Logic" Gazinski: Oh we definitely inspired each other. Raze's production inspired me quite a bit and it didn't take long for him to get a feeling for what kind of mood I was in, and what kind of songs I want to create at this point in my life. The concepts truthfully just flew out. Super natural, easy, fun.
OMC: Why did you settle on the title "...STILL untitled?"
MN: Oh this was epic. We originally titled the album "March of The Sock Puppets." We had the title for like two months, just sitting on it until launch time because we knew it'd be awesome. Ed Cayce's sister made sock puppet versions of everyone involved in the making of the album and everything. Then, The Cunninlynguists dropped some anniversary video with sock puppets and it killed us. Not in concept or execution, just the fact that they are obviously a larger act and in hip-hop biting is dying. So considering nobody but us knew about the concept for the album title – shout out to Ed Cayce – we had to drop it. We already were rolling with the joke of "...STILL untitled" and ultimately it just fit.
OMC: The skits that you have on the album seem to be based in a common reflection many Milwaukee musicians have towards local media as well as the perception of that media looking down on the local music scenes. Is there any truth to that or was the series of skits brought about by something else?
MN: That's exactly what my personal and professional take on them is. I've been in and heard so many interviews where they had no idea what to even bother asking the artist. It just came off as completely canned and wack. Like there was no real interest at all in the artists or the music. It was simply punch the clock, ask the parrot a couple questions, then back to the "real" show. So yeah, it was definitely a chance to hilariously poke fun at them like, "Yes, this IS what you sound like."
CG: Definitely inspired by the scene and the stigmas attached. The skits really didn't have much pre-thought. It kind of just spilled out with a group of us laughing hysterically in The Danger Room. It came together well I thought.
OMC: What is your favorite track on the album, each of you, respectively?
MN: This is tough for me because so many of them pulled something new and exciting out of me. If I had to pick one song on the album I would reluctantly pick "Eye Gee Oh (Oh Eff Eff)." Its got an energy and vibe about it that captures the bat sh*t crazy of us, yet also the intricate lyricism and technical production we both try to bring to the table. My second would definitely be "Footsteps" though. That track is bananas.
CG: I am going to go with "Thirsty" actually, followed by "Here Before" because it's the most outside of the box I have ever gone.
OMC: Both of you have released solo material and material as a part of some different groups. Where does "...STILL untitled" land in the rankings of your specific discographies?
MN: Well, it's hard to really judge it against my solos because they mean something totally different, at times deeper, but as a group and as a producer this is absolutely my best album to date. If I was to "retire" from emceeing and focus on production I think this would be an epic swan song to the mic. I'm so proud of this record and thankful to have brought out the best in Logic also.
CG: Everything for me is measured as far as where I am at when I am creating. "Dreams Of Sex And Flying" for me was like a child. I was unsure if any other project in future could make me feel the way it did. I was at a different place in life making "...STILL untitled" and it felt great. I hope it continues to feel this way, better and better with every notch on the belt.
Logic and Raze will have an album release party at Cactus Club Friday, Nov. 11, with the party starting at 9 p.m. Local acts SoulTron, KlassiK and The NightKrawlers will also perform.
To get an idea of what Logic and Raze bring to the table, here are two music videos from their new project.

Celebrate trails and celebrate Duluth
By Lisa Brainard
Monday, July 28, 2014 9:20 AM
This is the Enger Tower in Duluth. It sits on a hillside with a great view of the city. The Superior Hiking Trail, extended into Duluth, runs near it. LISA BRAINARD/BLUFF COUNTRY READER
I was in the Enger Tower on a cold, rainy fall day in 2006 for this photo. You can see the aerial lift bridge to Lake Superior in the distance. It allows ships to come into the port of Duluth. LISA BRAINARD/BLUFF COUNTRY READER
Minnesota is a top state for all types of outdoors recreation. You could say Minnesota has it "goin' on." If you don't want to believe it, I'll share some of the state's accolades, plus an inviting trail celebration you'll want to place on your August calendar.
Duluth 'Best town'
At the conclusion of a contest held online by Outside magazine, Duluth was named "Best Town 2014" in the U.S.
Set up as a tournament, 64 towns were placed into four brackets – East, West, Midwest and South – yes, set up just like the NCAA basketball tournament. A single town was pitted against another single town in a match. The winner then advanced to the next round. You know how it goes – the Sweet Sixteen, the Elite Eight and the Final Four followed by the title match.
Computer users were asked to vote for their favorite in each match. So, yes, there was a need for each city and its promoters to get people online to vote. Social media was put into action. (I admit it; I did share 'vote for Duluth' messages on Facebook.)
The towns also were seeded in the four brackets. In the Midwest, the top seed went to Madison, Wis., which has won other such contests. Duluth was seeded sixth.
Initial rounds
Here's how the first round went. Seeding numbers for each town are shown in parentheses:
Madison, Wis. (1) defeated Fargo, N.D., (16); Grand Rapids, Mich., (2) defeated Omaha, Neb., (15); Athens, Ohio, (3) defeated Lawrence, Kan., (14); Minneapolis (4) defeated Iowa City, Iowa, (13); Cincinnati. Ohio, (12) defeated Bloomington, Ind., (5); Duluth (6) defeated Columbia, Mo., (11); La Crosse, Wis., (7) defeated Rapid City, S.D., (10); and Houghton, Mich., (8) defeated Waterloo, Ill. (9)
Second-round winners were Houghton, Mich., (8) over Madison, Wis., (1) with 52 percent of the vote; La Crosse, Wis., (7) over Grand Rapids, Mich., (2) with 52 percent; Duluth (6) defeated Athens, Ohio, (3) with 79 percent of the vote; and Minneapolis (4) defeated Cincinnati (12).
Third-round winners were Minneapolis (4) over Houghton, Mich., (8) with 69 percent of the vote, and Duluth (6) defeated La Crosse (7) with 64 percent.
So the Minnesota cities of Minneapolis (4) and Duluth (6) faced off to determine the winner of the Midwest bracket. Duluth won with 60 percent of the vote and then faced the winner of the South bracket, Ashville, N.C. The top seed in that bracket was Charleston, with Ashville seeded 2. Duluth headed to the finals, defeating Ashville with 60 percent of the vote.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the bracket, Provo, Utah, the lowly 16th seed in the West, kept advancing, defeating the top seed, Jackson, Wyo., in the very first round with 55 percent of the vote.
The 16 towns in that bracket included Jackson, Wyo. (1); Boulder, Colo. (2); Mammoth Lakes, Calif. (3); Missoula, Mont. (4); Bend, Ore. (5); Anchorage, Alaska (6); Santa Barbara, Calif. (7); Hilo, Hawaii (8); Taos, N.M. (9); Coeur d'Alene, Idaho (10); Tucson, Ariz. (11); Bellingham, Wash. (12); Carson City, Nev. (13); Durango, Colo. (14); Sheridan, Wyo. (15); and Provo, Utah (16).
You can check out the other two brackets and get the actual number of votes in each match by going online to http://www.outsideonline.com/adventure-travel/north-america/united-states/Best-Towns-Results.html
Both Duluth and Provo (what an amazing underdog!) will be featured in September issues of Outside magazine and also on the magazine's website. Be watching for it.
Minnesota has many trails for all kinds of trail users. The high quality and great variety saw Minnesota named the "Best Trails State" in the country in recent years by the American Trails. This award is presented every two years by American Trails, the only national nonprofit organization that works on behalf of all trail types, including bicycling, hiking, cross-country skiing, equestrian, snowmobile, off-highway vehicle and water trails.
So let's combine some trails – hiking in this instance – around beloved and top-ranked Duluth for the "Great Minnesota Hiking Celebration," set for Thursday through Saturday, Aug. 21 to 23. Four Minnesota branches of the North Country Trail Alliance (NCTA) are sponsoring the event at Spirit Mountain and other Duluth locations. The website for the event –http://northcountrytrail.org/trail/states/minnesota/duluth — advises booking lodging soon due to the popular Duluth Air and Aviation Expo Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 23 and 24. It features the U.S. Navy Blue Angels.
North Country Trail
If the North Country Trail is new to you, it's a long-distance hike plotted across northern states. Right now it runs from North Dakota through New York using trails and roads, the latter hopefully turning into non-road trails in the future.
All kinds of hiking will be available both on your own and guided.
The schedule includes programs on topics such as overviews of the following trails: Superior Hiking, Kekakabic, Sioux Hustler, Border Route, and Pow Wow. Other options are "Thirteen Trails including the SHT (Superior Hiking Trail), and NCT (North Country Trail in Wisconsin and Michigan) and quite a few in Canada and more. There's also lightweight backpacking, phrenology along the trail and an exposition on the outdoors also will be held.
It sounds like a fun event. There is no fee to attend unless you decide to attend a banquet with a speaker. You can find out more information and a link to register online at http://northcountrytrail.org/trail/states/minnesota/duluth/.
The registration deadline is Thursday, Aug. 7, for the banquet dinner only. Online registration will remain open for the rest of the event up until Wednesday, Aug. 20. On-site registration will be available as well at the Skyline Chalet (Thursday) and the Grand Avenue Chalet (Friday and Saturday.)
Plan now to check out the "Best Town," Duluth, and immerse yourself in all things hiking at the "Great Minnesota Hiking Celebration."

Cataldi Madonna Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2007
Other Red Wine from Italy
Winemaker Notes
The wine shows a deep ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean and pleasing aromas of black cherry, blueberry, plum, carob and violet followed by pleasing aromas of walnut-husk. In the mouth it has good correspondence to the nose, good balance, agreeable tannins, good body and intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry and plum.
Critical Acclaim

The 2007 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is simply awesome. This sumptuous wine boasts tremendous balance and harmony in its dark, dense fruit, with a long, harmonious finish. Everything is in the right place in this delicious red from Abruzzo. When will consumers discover how delicious the best Montepulcianos can be? Anticipated maturity: 2009-2013. I continue to be impressed with the wines of Cataldi Madonna, one of Abruzzo's top estates.
Cataldi MadonnaView all wine
Cultivation of the vine and production of wine have very ancient origins in Abruzzi and it is likely that it was the Etruscans to introduce the vine in this region. The Greeks were probably the first to praise its qualities and soon after, they were followed by the Romans. Abruzzi is mostly mountains; to the west there are Apennines, of which Gran Sasso and Maiella are the most important and to the east the region... View More

Over the years a monthly publication of the Presbyterian Church, Presbyterians Today, has included many articles on what Presbyterians do believe. In one recent article, Pastor James Ayers offered a helpful list of what Presbyterians don't believe—not to be antagonistic or confrontational, but to describe some of the major differences between the beliefs of Presbyterians and other Christians.
Here are a few of the things Presbyterians don't believe:
Salvation by good works
American popular religion supposes that all good people go to heaven and the bad people go to hell. If you have done a good enough job being righteous, you will be rewarded in heaven after you die. So the question is, are you good enough? Although there is a certain commonsense logic to this, Presbyterians have always insisted (following the apostle Paul) that no one is good enough. We are saved by grace and only by grace. Despite our failure, God decided to save us through the incarnation, death and resurrection of Jesus.
Various Eastern religions propose that when you die, you are reborn as another person or animal. All the world has been on an endless cycle of death and rebirth: you continually get "another chance" until you finally get it right. Presbyterians argue that Scripture does not teach reincarnation; it points us toward eternal life in the presence of God. Moreover, believing in reincarnation is a very severe form of believing in works righteousness, because reincarnation teaches that you must live your life over and over until you have attained to a level of goodness that frees you from the rounds of human existence.
Some believe that every event may be caused by previous events. If so, it is an illusion to suppose that your decisions actually change anything. If you do a good deed, that is what you were fated to do. If you do something evil, that is just the outworking of your predetermined fate. This is different from the Presbyterian doctrine of predestination, which says God chose to redeem us, long before we could even understand what that might mean. Because God chose us before the foundation of the world, that means we are predestined to life. That does not take away our ability to choose; we make many trivial-but-free choices every day. Beyond that, predestination teaches us that God has given us a new and bigger freedom: the freedom to fulfill our destiny.
In Holy Communion we receive the presence of Christ to strengthen our faith and life. How does that happen? The Roman Catholic view is that the substance of the bread and wine is transformed to become the substance of the body and blood of Christ. (Transform the substance: trans-substantiation.) Presbyterians argue that Christ is genuinely present in these elements, but it is a spiritual presence, rather than a physical presence. That is, it is not a question of molecules of bread becoming molecules of human flesh. Instead, it is Christ coming to dwell within us, as he promised.
An altar is a place where a sacrifice is offered and it is often viewed with special reverence. In the traditional Roman Catholic understanding the priest re-offers Christ on the altar as a sacrifice to God at every mass. Presbyterians believe the sacrifice of Christ has already been offered once for all, it needs no repetition, and the action of a priest cannot make it occur again. In the Presbyterian view, therefore, the Lord's Supper takes place at a "table" rather than an "altar." Although many Communion tables are rather ornate, the table itself holds no particular significance or holiness; it is simply a supper table.
What Presbyterians Don't Believe....Page 2
Where do people go when they die? We expect the answer to be "heaven or hell." Yet in the Middle Ages people thought: "Hmmm, if heaven is where the saints stand in the holy presence of God, and hell is where the wicked get sent, what about all of us sinners who have been forgiven? Our lives are still impure when we die; how can we exist in heaven, alongside the holiness of God?" So the doctrine of purgatory was created—
a place where the remainders of our sinfulness would be purged away. This was a worthy speculation, but Presbyterians believe it is not necessary. God will indeed redeem us and cleanse us from all our sins and we will be readied for heaven without our needing to postulate a third possible place to go when we die.
Ah, but what about unbaptized babies who die? The medieval argument ran this way: They never got a chance to grow up and become wicked, so it seems unjust to condemn them to hell. There is no point in sending them to purgatory to purge away their sins, because they did not live long enough to commit any. On the other hand, they were not baptized, so they cannot go to heaven. They must end up in some fourth place, limbo, instead. Presbyterians give an answer parallel to the one regarding purgatory: God will take care of this, and we do not need to speculate on yet another venue in the afterlife.
Historic succession of bishops
Where does the authority of the church reside? Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Orthodox, Methodist and Episcopal churches believe it is carried in the office of the bishop. Bishops receive their authority from previous bishops, all of whom received their authority from still earlier bishops. Catholics and some Anglicans trace this authority back to the apostles and to Peter himself. Presbyterians believe church authority is not transmitted through individuals this way; rather, church leaders can declare the will of God only on the authority of Scripture and with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
Praying to saints/praying to Mary
When you have problems, you may ask your friends to pray for you. But why restrict yourself to present-day friends? Why not also ask radiant Christians from previous centuries to offer up their intercessions on your behalf? This is perhaps the most positive way to think of praying to the saints. Yet there is a problem here. Asking Saint Joan to pray for you becomes praying to Saint Joan. But praying is an act of worship and devotion, and this can be offered only to God.
Mortal and Venial sins
In Roman Catholic thinking when you die you are carrying the guilt of all the sins you have committed since your last confession. If your sins are venial (relatively slight), you will now work them off in purgatory. A mortal sin, in contrast, cannot be resolved in purgatory. An unconfessed mortal sin means you are damned to hell. Presbyterians do not believe that sins can be graded this way. Sin is sin. Forgiveness is God's free gift in Christ. Confession and assurance of pardon are not what enables God to forgive us, but rather what enables us to recognize or feel or experience that we are forgiven.
Beliefs about the Bible
Yes to authority, No to inerrancy
Presbyterians have always had a very strong doctrine of Biblical authority, but historically most have shied away from calling that doctrine "inerrancy," a word that points to complete factual accuracy. It is easy to assume this must be the right word to describe Scripture since it is the Word of God and therefore must not have any mistakes in it. But this reasoning does not quite work, for a couple of reasons:
1. While you can apply the idea of inerrancy to a history quiz, it is hard to see how to apply it to a work of art. An inerrant quiz paper is one in which all the answers are factually accurate.
But what would it mean to apply the term "inerrancy" to a work of art like the Grant Woods painting American Gothic? What do you think when you look at that painting? Perhaps it is "How determined farmers are, in the midst of life's adversities!" But it is not "Ah, now I know what this particular couple looked like." We recognize that a great work of art often "says something" that has little to do with an exact reproduction of "the facts." It would miss the point to argue for the inerrancy of a masterpiece.
The poems, songs, parables and sagas of the Bible are literary masterpieces. For example, the Parable of the Good Samaritan: Jesus made up this brief yet poignant story to answer the objection of the lawyer who asked about eternal life. Defending the inerrancy of this story misses the point.* The point is to obey the authority of the story.
2. Believing in the inerrancy of Scripture commits us to the factual accuracy of individual texts, while believing in the authority of Scripture presses us to know the message of Scripture as a whole. In order to be inerrant, the factuality of a statement has to be able to stand on its own: "The Battle of Gettysburg took place in 1863" is true or false on its own merits. Contrast this with Psalm 103:3 telling us that the Lord "heals all of your diseases." Or Jesus declaring that he "was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel" (Matthew 15:24). If the term inerrancy can be applied to these statements, then they can stand on their own, and we can believe with confidence that they are the truth.
Does the Lord heal all of our diseases? Was Jesus sent only to the lost sheep of Israel? Will all liars be cast into the lake of fire? We may want to quibble at this point and say, "Well, you have to view those statements in their context in order to see what they really mean." If we say that, we have given up on the doctrine of inerrancy: we have conceded that these verses cannot stand on their own, with their plain meaning to be accepted as the truth.
The doctrine of authority, in contrast, focuses on the whole Bible, rather than particular texts. With regard to topics like healing or inclusiveness or final judgment, this doctrine prompts us to ask, "What are all the verses that talk about this? How do they fit together to form one cohesive Biblical teaching? And how do I follow that teaching and live it out in my life?"
* A humorous footnote from Pastor Jim: While visiting the Holy Land seven years ago, I overheard a tour guide telling his group "This is the exact spot where the Good Samaritan crossed the road to give aid to the beaten man, and three miles up the road I will show you the inn to which the injured man was taken." (Talk about gullible tourists! Many folks paused to take photos.) :-)

Mr. Brown let's go of a twerk anthem inspired by the song and accompanying Express Yourself meme, created as a means for Diplo to encourage female fans to send suggestive photos to him daily. Danny, who is a full fledged music nerd on top of being a great rapper, came across the beat in a soundcloud binge, and decided to "do one for the #ratchets" on a whim. You won't find this one on his upcoming sophomore album, OLD, but it stands as further proof that Danny is one of the most exciting voices in rap, even when he's just fucking around.
Top Tracks Of The Week: April 1-7
Danny Brown- Express Yourself
Big Sean- Switch Up Feat Common
Big Sean is one of the biggest cornballs in the game, and Common can give him a run for his money when he wants to (Universal Mind Control anyone?). But being a cornball doesn't have to be a bad thing, it can be pretty fun sometimes actually. Sean only loses it a bit when he gets into a staycation/paycation couplet, but otherwise keeps his head well above water and his ad-lib game sharp on this tight instrumental.
Joey Badass- Day In The Life
Joey goes in over a beat from the perpetually-winning Harry Fraud to predictably great results. The Pro Era leader is proving himself as a rapper who can rise above the initial hype he received for being a 90s baby who rapped over Lord Finesse beats. Joey is looking more and more like he'll have a long and interesting career ahead of him. This track stands as a small but sure step towards experimenting a little more with his production, something that will only serve to make him all the more interesting.
Tyga- Hit Em Up Feat. Jadakiss & Tupac
It's silly to argue about whether Pac would actually work with Tyga if he were still around. The line was crossed when he showed up on a Ja Rule song ten years ago, and now it's anyone's game. Either way it's kind of cool to hear Pac over something as of-the-moment as DJ Mustard production. It actually works, and with Jeezy's growing list of R.I.P. (Remix) collaborators, it's starting to seem like any type of rapper can hold their own on the Bay-infused beats (unlike trap production which can often make older emcees sound incredibly lost). Jadakiss even sounds at home on the deep 808s somehow, and suggests that Mustard's production may be a little more than just a passing trend.
Dizzy Wright- Kill 'Em Wit Kindness
Surrounded by a rap world that is continually obsessed with grandiosity, Dizzy continues to engage while keeping things simple and effective on the production end, and emphasizing the art of emceeing in a time where the flashier elements of rap can sometimes cloud its importance. You want Dizzy to win, and not just because he's a great rapper, but cause he just seems like a genuinely humble and down to earth person, a quality that rarely surfaces in rap personas.
Kid Cudi- Girls Feat. Too Short
Kid Cudi does what he does best on the verses here. Bridging the gap between singing and rapping, but not going too far in either direction. This means he doesn't stumble over is own double time flows, or strain his vocal chords too much, and keeps things within the spectrum of what he did so well on his breakthrough mixtape. The production is a little more ambitious than his early material however, and lends an apocalyptic quality to the song that is also reflected in his artwork. It seems like the song could burst up in flames at any moment, and while it gets a little too close to combustion on the hooks, Cudi generally maintains control of the track, not letting his ambition overwhelm his execution.
Bonus: Worst Track Of The Week
Ray J- I Hit It First
Ray J has released a single that wreaks of such desperation, and general tastelessness, that it can only be described as a very rare case of self-ethering. Here, J reminds us all of the fact that he slept with Kim Kardashian, an event which was taped in 2003, and released in 2007, and one that served as the jumping off point to Kim's rising fame, and the early peak of Ray J's. Since then, the only hint of publicity Ray J can get is referencing this night, often through badgering Kim on twitter, or attempting to shame her for an event that he's now milked more than she ever did. Meanwhile Kim is making Forbes list, and Ray is so broke his song only comes through on the left speaker. Yes, Ray J, you hit it first, no one is denying that, it's well documented, and you seem to be the only one who still cares.

About the Study:
Some 6,379 participants in the Health and Retirement Study, a nationally represented sample of Americans over age 50, were tracked for four years.
This study is one in a series supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to explore Positive Health, an emerging concept that seeks to demonstrate that in addition to health risks, people also have health assets, which can be strengthened to produce a healthier life. These health assets could include biological factors, such as high heart rate variability; subjective factors, such as optimism; and functional factors, such as a stable marriage.

Illustration Friday - Wild
I decided to draw a fox in the wild for this week's IF topic.
It was my first illustration made with dip pen and inks, and this was so much fun. Love these vibrant colors!
Now I want to try these inks in different ways: overlay different colors for optical effects, intermix them to get new colors, draw with brush...

Congratulations on your first dedicated server. Once you receive the information for you server, you will probably want to start migrating or creating your website immediately. However, if you have little to no experience with systems administration you should first thoroughly understand the tools you have at your disposal before you get started.
Often overlooked, the journey toward dedicated server enlightenment begins with your webhost. Though the reading may be a bit dry, you would do well to understand specifically what you bought, what you are responsible for, and what things your webhost will take care. Here is a general list of what you will want to do:
- Read Over and Understand your TOS: Your Terms of Service specify the legalities of your server. In it you will find those things your service provider is responsible for and those things you are responsible for. Pay close attention to uptime guarantees, any information on scheduled downtime, and the steps needed to cancel your service. Keep a copy of the TOS handy.
- Read Over and Understand your Support Package: Even with unmanaged dedicated servers, the webhost is still responsible for some support. Understand what things are covered with your monthly fee and what things cost extra. Also keep a copy of this, if available, handy.
- Check the Licensing Contracts: This especially holds true for software on Windows dedicated server boxes. Ensure that the licensing is up-to-date and any base licensed software is authentic. The last thing you want is to be audited by a company such as Microsoft or RedHat and found to be using an illegal copy.
- Have Your Hosts Contact Info Readily Available: You should have your server's information readily available such as on an encrypted file on your desktop. Your webhost's contact information should also be programmed into your cell phone. Emergencies rarely happen at convenient times and having this available so you can quickly resolve problems is a must.
At its most basic your dedicated server box should come with an operating system, a web server, and a database server. On top of this, you may have programming language support, a control panel, security software, and backup software. Even if you have managed support there are a few things you should know:
- Operating System: When it comes to the OS, you should know how to update it, configure it, perform security checks, check logs and audits, and lastly you need to understand how to do basic maintenance. One reason why managed or using third party administration is key for your first dedicated solution is, it gives you the opportunity to learn and to ask questions.
- Web Server: Although chances are high that you will use a control panel to handle most of the web server functions, it never hurts to understand how to perform security checks and how to add websites to the web server.
- Database Server: Like your web server, a great deal of what you will do with your database server will go through a control panel of some sort. Even if you use a control panel, you should understand simple commands such as backing up, importing, and exporting databases.
- Programming Languages: Prior to picking your dedicated server solution you probably already had a programming language or two in mind and had them installed by your webhost. If not, then take a moment to pick the programming languages you want to use and (hopefully you are using managed or third party administration) then have them professionally installed. You could install them quite easily, but for the most part there is really no need to do this yourself and if you are already paying for the service might as well have them do it.
- Control Panels: The use of control panels is a personal preference. Many who are unfamiliar with the various web servers find using control panels to be an easy alternative. Others prefer to use the web server and other server assets directly. When having managed administration, your admin (be it webhost or third party) will probably have a control panel preference and will install a control panel to make administration easier. If this is the case, then become familiar with the control panel, learn how to navigate and use the tools available.
- Security Software: At the most base of security measures, you should have an anti-virus suite and a software firewall. When you do migrate or create your site, run a security audit. This will let you know if there are extra security suites and precautions you need to add.
- Backup Software: If your webhost has a backup solution, then you should order it. There is no reason to justify not having backups for your websites. Take this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the software. When you bring your site online you should come back to your backup software and configure it in accordance to how often you update the site.
The last area to examine is the hardware. This part is fairly straightforward. Check to make sure you received the hardware you paid for. Familiarize yourself with any add-on hardware such as firewalls. If you have a hardware firewall and are unsure how to use it then have your managed solution provider walk you through the configuration process or have them perform the checks out right.
Once you have a feel for what you have and what you have gotten yourself into, you can begin to transfer or create your website(s). Your first dedicated server box is not just something to place your website on, it is a learning tool and if you take it step-by-step, you too can become a proficient at server administration.

One bedroom two bath Condominium across the street from beach, Corner Unit with Ocean view and sunsets from living room and lanai.
five-minute walk to restaurants and town.
Beautiful large lanai shaded by huge plumaria tree to keep lanai cool, air conditioned, lots of closet space and storage.
Two bathrooms; Carpeted and tiled flooring. assigned parking.Condo is a Non Smoking property.
Keywords: Condominium

The Owner purchased this condo in 2004
Close to all shops and restaurants. and a very quiet property and is a cement block bld, which is much safer then wood.
Quiet, Lanai shaded by a large plumaria tree , walking distance to all shops and restaurants.
Walking distance to many restaurants (loved Splashers for breakfast), and a short drive to great snorkeling locations. Waterfront view with a spacious and fairly private balcony. Would definitely recommend to friends.
We spent 1 totally delightful week in this location. The condo was just wonderful!The location was great as we simply walked each morning to a different place for breakfast with gorgeous views! The condo was ALWAYS cool plus very nice Hawaiian decor. The island is laid-back, but lots to see and do: as in snorkel trip, para-sail, Luau, tour the oldest church in US, see the Palace across the street from the church, drive to the Volcano and have lunch overlooking the crater, drive North to the end of the highway, return and come back down through beautiful cattle ranches including the famous Parker Ranch. Golf galore, but expensive. Shopping centers nearby. Lunch at the Harbor...great beers and lunches! Did we love it...5 stars! Plus the owner couldn't have been nicer.
Beautiful condo within easy walking distance to ocean, beaches, and main shopping/restaurant area of Ali'i Drive. Our favorite features were having a kitchen with everything we needed to cook in, a deep, long tub, and flatscreen TV. Beautiful lanai/outside deck area with enough foliage to feel secluded as well as it being a corner unit. Owners were nice, friendly, and easy going.
This is by far the best rental property we have ever visited. The owners are very accommodating and friendly. The entire unit was sparkling clean and attention to detail in all decor and furnishings. Views are spectacular and will take your breath away. Every day was a new adventure and coming "home" to this condo was always comforting. We will return and rent again. Our home away from home in Kona!!!
The condo is in a great location but unfortunately needs a lot of updating and possibly a better cleaning service. When we arrived there was a sponge floating in one of the toilets, the tubs had hair in the drains, there was a dirty pair of mens underwear lodged between the nightstand and wall and the unit itself was dirty. Several of the fans were not working properly and one of the windows would not close making the air conditioning useless. We had to buy a fan so we could sleep at night. Also, when we got home one day there was a note on the door from a neighbor asking us to not use our fan on the lanai because it was "noisy and unsafe." We were also asked to leave by 10am on our last day so the complex could repaint the lanai, 10am is not terrible but it is still quite early for a check out. We never got the wifi to work while there and got little assistance in getting the code to work or the wifi up and running. I was told to "use the code on the router" which I did and it didn't work, there were no other instructions. It took 25 days to get my deposit back after we left as well. The complex seemed to have a lot of retired residence as well, this was not a problem, just an observation. Overall it wasn't terrible, but it was definitely the worst VRBO experience we have ever had. If you plan to stay here, be prepared to clean when you arrive and when you leave.
Incredibly personable owners that make checking in and departure a breeze. The condo is comfortable, clean and (perhaps most importantly) centrally located to everything in Kailua. Walking distance to downtown Kona strip (Ali'i Drive) makes for simple and convenient access. We will be booking our next trip and have all intentions of staying here again in the future.
