Counterfeit Gods
Christ the Center recently interviewed Rev. Tim Keller, pastor of Redeemer PCA in Manhattan, about his most recent book Counterfeit Gods: The Empty Promises of Money, Sex, and Power, and the Only Hope that Matters. The panel discussed the nature of sin as idolatry and how such things as money, sex, and power, vie for God's rightful place in the human heart. Pastor Keller provided powerful insights into the nature of idolatry and how the human heart really is deceitful. This was a very fruitful discussion.Jeff Waddington, Josh Walker, Nick Batzig, Tim Keller

…what's next for "reformed forum"- do an episode with Joe Osteen? …Or Mark Driscoll perhaps?
…and point out how God uses them even though we disagree with them on "certain aspects"?
Never mind contending for the truth and calling out error, let's simply talk about different "ministry philosophies" instead…
Would you seriously lump Tim Keller in with Joel Osteen? I for one enjoyed this interview even though I was not involved in the recording. Though people have issues with Tim Keller, he is an ordained minister in the PCA, a NAPARC church. As such, he is well within the scope of people we are interested in speaking with. It doesn't mean we have to agree with him on every point. His books are well-written, thoughtful, and helpful. I have no reservations about what Keller said in this interview. Regardless we understand "Reformed" in Reformed Forum to refer to the regular panelists, not necessarily the guests.
thank you for your reply and my apologies for the tone of the first post. It was late at night and I was less than gracious.
Ultimately, Bruce, yes: I would lump Dr. Keller together with Joe Osteen. I would gladly defend this stand in more detail but in the interest of time and space let me attempt to get at the core:
I noted you took issues with Osteen and not (necessarily) with my Driscoll comparison… In doing so you probably agree that, in principle, Driscoll and Keller have much in common. Their infatuation with culture and the world which bleeds so desperately into their socially-driven gospel is one and the same. The only difference being that Driscoll, never outgrowing his sophomoric years, now justifies his foul language and irreverence in the pulpit by appealing to the type of audience he is trying to reach, while Keller, lacing his gospel with his endearing social and psycho-analytic observations caters to the 'educated and sophisticated' NY city demographics.
And here is where Osteen and Keller also meet. Whether we eclipse the gospel with a self-improvement or a social/wellbeing agenda, the end result is the same: We do not preach the gospel anymore. But in contrast with Osteen, Keller's credentials and affiliations you listed only make the matter more serious and the need to call him out more urgent. Because our (reformed) confessions and affiliations do not protect us from our desire(s) to cater to itching ears. The only thing that changes is that the vices employed get a bit more sophisticated.
So I think you might understand why I would not find your categorization of panelists vs. guests particularly helpful. I fear that, in giving audience and speaking affirmatively of such ministries (Keller), a forum espousing reformed doctrine only helps to blur the waters between sound and unsound. And trust you me, there is a lot of confusion in the church regarding this already.
The following excerpts are from Redeemer's (Tim Keller's church) 'vision and values' pages. It seems to me that even a casual read of these should leave an objective reader with a clear sense that the focus for this church is some sort of cultural renewal and cultural engagement. No doubt the gospel is mentioned, but it appears to be used as a mere vehicle for social change, a means to a seemingly 'greater' end, like building a great city(?):
"To build a great city for all people through a gospel movement that brings about personal conversion, community formation, social justice and cultural renewal in New York and throughout the world."
"We believe that nothing promotes the peace and health of the city like the spread of faith in the gospel. It renews both individual lives and reweaves the fabric of whole neighborhoods. We believe that nothing moves Christians to humbly serve, live with, and love all the diverse people of the city like the gospel does."
"The gospel creates a new community which not only nurtures individuals but serves as a sign of God's coming kingdom. Here we see classes of people loving one another who could not have gotten along without the healing power of the gospel. Here we see sex, money, and power used in unique non-destructive and life-giving ways."
"We have no illusions that our single church or our Presbyterian tradition is sufficient to renew all of New York City spiritually, socially, and culturally. We are therefore committed to planting (and helping others plant) hundreds of new churches, while at the same time working for a renewal of gospel vitality in all the congregations of the city."
"We believe that the gospel has a deep, vital, and healthy impact on the arts, business, government, media, and academy of any society. Therefore we are highly committed to support Christians' engagement with culture, helping them work with excellence, distinctiveness, and accountability in their professions."
"To build a great city for all people, through a gospel movement
Again, the emphasis on social renewal/engagement could hardly be clearer. So I ask a simple question: How could the reformers have made such a blunder?
Let me make my question a little clearer: If we trust that the reformers faithfully captured the main things of our faith, as we believe to be the case in Westminster Confession which I know we both affirm, why is it that we do not find even a hint of this 'cultural mandate' in it? Not even a HINT? Surely if the matter were even somewhat important for our faith and for our maturing in Christ, or even for our ability to evangelize, would they not have at least relegated half a paragraph to it? I submit to you that it is not mentioned because the reformers wisely figured it outside of the bounds of what is needed for establishing disciples in sound doctrine, and consequently, clearly outside of the main articles of our faith.
If this is true, then I will let you judge for yourself Redeemer's focus and its effects on the gospel they preach. Can we really mix 'additives' of our choice to the message of the gospel, make them one of our main themes, and have the gospel escape unharmed and uncompromised? You had my verdict. And whether we agree on how far or how close this is to JoeL Osteen's problems is probably not as important as recognizing that a wrong emphasis clearly compromises the gospel: Our gospel ceases to be THE gospel.
Yet Tim Keller makes this cultural theme (what I previously called his infatuation) unashamedly his core topic, in his books and in his preaching, and for the most part the reformed community is happily 'cheering' him on.
Take another example from his sermon which was recently posted on the "Gospel Coalition" website. The same theme sprouts up all over this message entitled "the Gospel" (http://sermons2.redeemer.com/sermons/gospel). Here's some of what he says about the results of the gospel and how it 'restructures' our heart:
"…God says, 'there is a way out'. There is a way to emotional inner freedom and cultural freedom. And what is it? Well, let's go back to the text. Here's what God says. He says, into this ancient culture, "Sing, O barren woman, You who never bore a child!" Sing o barren woman! That is so culturally radical what He is calling women to do. He is calling women to an inner emotional freedom from shame and a culture of freedom from external oppressive structures. He is saying, 'I can give you freedom from men, from family, from what you culture tells you'… …this was utterly radical for that culture." (min 9:00-10-38)
Does this really require further commenting?
I could go on for a long time, Camden, book by book, sermon by sermon. But I don't think this is the right place for going beyond what I have already written. You have my email, however, and if interested, we can continue this discussion offline anytime.
In Him.
The Gospel is the message of God's covenant of grace in Christ.
In 1647, the Westminster Assembly was convened by the English "Long Parliament" which was under the control of Presbyterian Puritans.
The Scottish Parliament ratified the confession of faith and catechisms in 1649.
I'll let you be the judge as to whether or not the Assembly thought the Gospel had HUGE social effects and should be changing culture.
And about the Gospel's "inner psychological effects," again, read the Puritans and I'll let you be the judge as to whether the Westminster Divines thought the Gospel had HUGE psychological effects.
No, Adam.
What you are bringing up is an important point, but not related: The intersection of ecclesiastical authority with that of the offices of the civil magistrates.
It's important issue and worthy of discussion but has absolutely nothing to do with today's Redeemer-like churches cultural and social agenda.
As for the puritan view, I don't think I need to comment further than to say that, when we affirm a confession, we also affirm that the things not found in it have been excluded rightly. Otherwise a confession ceases to serve its purpose. Because, yet again, if we believe the main things have been faithfully captured- a puritan (or any other for that matter) majoring in the things which fall outside of the confessed articles has created his own version of the confession, one which I for one have no interest in affirming nor defending.
Rick, how much time have you spent reading and/or listening to Keller? I respectfully suggest that, before you lump him in with Osteen (which you consider a grave insult), you spend some more time considering his words with the same spirit of generosity that you naturally want your own words to be considered.
I'm familiar with all of those Keller excerpts you cite, and I doubt anyone who has listened to him a lot would take the arch meaning from them that you do.
I would be interested in hearing your view of what effect the gospel of grace has on the the people who are transformed by it ? Do believers and converts essentially continue to live as pagans without having any effect on the culture, or does the transformation of the lives of the consitutents of culture actually have a changing effect on the culture ? I am not understanding why you seem to have a problem with the idea that when a heart is regenerated, that actions follow which when taken as a whole have a transforming effect on the community within which the regeneration occurs. BTW- this is hardly a new concept. You should read some of William Wilberforce, i.e. True Christianity, which basically reads like an applied systematic theology, and arrives at very similar conclusions.
You said in a previous post:
Yet Tim Keller makes this cultural theme (what I previously called his infatuation) unashamedly his core topic, in his books and in his preaching, and for the most part the reformed community is happily 'cheering' him on.
But you also said:

What's the difference between what your saying and keller is saying? You both think christian culture (psychological, civil, familial, etc) is the end of the covenant of grace (both the near and the future aspects). And I'm not knocking this formula. i likes.
a few thoughts that may have not been immediately evident in my previous posts…
I have no issues with Tim Keller. I do believe, however, that most of his sermons and books, right along with the mission he helped to lay out for his church, skew the message of the gospel to such an extent as to make it unbiblical in emphasis, and therefore, false. So my point was that the Bible has a serious issue with Tim Keller. This being the case – and a very obvious one – what I take issues with is the seeming lack of voices of concern (censures) within the Reformed circles, beginning with, most obviously, the PCA as his home denomination. It is clearly in their local and national assemblies where this discussion primarily belongs- and not in the online forums. Besides the fact that I am not a big fan of blog/forum sites this is the main reason why I am not particularly eager to say more than I have already stated here.
But let me briefly attempt to answer your questions even as I strive to make it my last post- pray you understand.
You Wrote:
"I am not understanding why you seem to have a problem with the idea that when a heart is regenerated, that actions follow which when taken as a whole have a transforming effect on the community within which the regeneration occurs."
Should we look at the Scriptures on this? We will find them silent on the 'culture transforming sum-total effect' you speak off. Silent. But what they do say most clearly is that, as our hearts have been regenerated by the sovereign grace and act of God, our lives should bear much good fruit (John 15:2-8; Mark 4:20;Gal 5:22; Col 1:10; Jam 3:17-18; Phi 1:9-11). This fruit is to adorn our profession of faith so that non-believers might glorify God in the Day of their visitation (1 Pet 2:12) just as the Lord desires that all should come to repentance (2 Pet 3:9).
Our fruit adorning the Gospel message, by the grace of God, leading to repentance and salvation of many.
Culture? I suggest to you that the conclusion you draw is never mentioned, much less emphasized, nor should – to the best of my discerning – be deduced as a "good and necessary consequence" from the Scriptures. It is neither good nor a necessary deduction. Because, Mark, "culture" will by definition always include both regenerate as well as the unsaved. "And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? " (2 Cor 6:15) Or to use the beloved buzzword- what has the "culture" of the living have to do with the "culture" of the dead? Truly, to emphasize the transforming and beneficial effects of the Gospel on the general/societal level is to sadly misunderstand the Gospel.
The Scriptures are silent, our confessions are silent… So how should we then reconcile this silence and Tim Keller's emphasis on the same (culture)? I suggest to you that we cannot and we ought not.
In Him.
Tim, I pray that I gladly and most eagerly take your advice daily – in every circumstance and on every occasion. Except… Except when souls of men are at stake (read: purity of the Gospel).
You said " Culture? I suggest to you that the conclusion you draw is never mentioned, much less emphasized, nor should – to the best of my discerning – be deduced as a "good and necessary consequence†from the Scriptures. It is neither good nor a necessary deduction. Because, Mark, "culture†will by definition always include both regenerate as well as the unsaved. "And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? †(2 Cor 6:15)"
You do not believe that it can be validly deduced as a necessary consequence that the transformation from a pagan to a regenerate believer will have a positive effect on a community ? Whether they are believers or unbelievers ? Please explain how the growth of numbers of persons living as servants of Christ logically has an adverse effect on a community ?
I have listened to hundreds of Keller sermons and read his books. In part this was to see if what his critics were saying is true, and in part because his unpacking and application of the scriptures is I do not think that you are accurately representing Keller's ministry as over emphasizing "culture".
Take just one of his quotes that you used above as an example: "We believe that nothing promotes the peace and health of the city like the spread of faith in the gospel. It renews both individual lives and reweaves the fabric of whole neighborhoods. We believe that nothing moves Christians to humbly serve, live with, and love all the diverse people of the city like the gospel does.â€
1) What part of what he said is false ? He is making an observation. The fact that his observation is not cataloged in the bible does not make it false.
2) Where is he saying that the primary purpose of the gospel is to change the culture ? In fact, none of the quotes you cite above states that the primary purpose of the gospel is to effect change in the culture.
Furthermore, in the over 100 sermons I have listened to, maybe 10% of them deal with the idea of the culture changing through the gospel.
Have you listened for example to his message from Romans ? Therein lies one of the best presentations of the gospel and total depravity that I have heard. Have you listened to his series on Hebrews ? Genesis ? Who is Jesus ? Have you listened to his 10 part series on sin ? Have you listened to his sermon on predestination ( again one of the best and most practical witnessing tools I have heard on the subject ) or on the Cross ? None of these sermons series is even remotely related to the "false gospel" that you attribute to Tim Keller. I don't agree with Keller on every point, but it seems to me very careless for you to claim that throughout his sermons and books he promotes some sort of social gospel.
I would challenge you to listen to Keller's sermon in his introduction to the book of Romans, which clearly sets forth his understanding of the gospel. After listening to that, I would be interested in hearing your critique.
You wrote: "You do not believe that it can be validly deduced as a necessary consequence that the transformation from a pagan to a regenerate believer will have a positive effect on a community ? Whether they are believers or unbelievers ? Please explain how the growth of numbers of persons living as servants of Christ logically has an adverse effect on a community?"
I am not sure what you mean by "Whether they are believers or unbelievers?" or why you would attribute to me a notion of regeneration as having an adverse affect on any community. My point is simply that the Scriptures do not emphasize the general 'communal' effects and, therefore, we should not. In terms of a community, the emphasis is very clearly and overwhelmingly on the Kingdom of God, whose membership we very presently enjoy (through His Church), whose ambassadors and citizens we are, and whose purity, soundness, and maturity we are to pray and strive for one disciple and one local church at a time. Want to emphasize community? That's the one.
If you struggle with that you probably also struggle with our Confession. Because even if you wish to connect the dots of the Scripture the way you do, you still have to contend with the notion that there are no "Of the Culture" or "Of the Community" headings found in the Confession. Your estimate is a modest one (10%), but even according to your own reckoning we ought to find at least 3 chapters dedicated to this very subject in the it(!). I am afraid that if we were to believe Tim Keller and his church on this we would be forced to conclude that the reformers really blew it.
So how would you like to 'sell' to an airline a pilot with a proven record of going 10% of course, who in spite of all the navigational aids continues to stray willingly and consistently? Or how about your plane being piloted by a pilot who misses his target 1 out of 10 times? …Would you think careless those who would call for the pilot to be removed from working for the airline, at least for as long as he learns how to fly straight? I suggest to you that Tim Keller is entrusted with something infinitely more valuable than an airliner.
Look, Mark, I am happy to continue this privately. If you have further thoughts please respond to samisonite at gmail.
I know you posted this almost 18 months ago now, so who knows if you will read this. I am not PCA, I have friends who are, I am simply a Christian. I attend a large bible preaching church. As a result of that teaching many have been saved, lives changed. Pre-destined or not many have many put in the exact right spot at the exact right time to hear the message of the gospel and have had communities changed because of it. There is a man named Paul, he wrote 7O% of the NT as I'm sure you are aware. In most all of his letters he spoke on actions and reformation of lives. He wrote to groups of people, specifically addressing cultural issues and need for cultural reformation. He did this whil using the context of the Bible. I live in an area of the country where the PCA is huge. RTS is 25 minutes from my house, and I work for a university affiliated with the PCA church. Keller has been a tool of God that has changed and saved many lives. God has used him in a powerful way, along with others like Olsteen, Driscoll and the like. When Jesus preached the most religious men of his time ridiculed him and accused him of being a false preacher. He associated with the unloveable, he gave grace to the most undeserving. I think it is very proud of us as Christians to say that God cannont use or has not ordained a man like Keller simply because we think his messages talk too much about cultural change. In this day and age that is a message that is needed. Just as Paul preached a message of grace and salvation for the Jew AND the gentile. How do you think the holiest and most religious of that time felt about that message? Well, not real good they jailed Paul. I think we would be wise to not dictate our religious ideas and learning to allow who and what message God uses. Just a thought.

Toys Galore! Angelina Takes Her Sons To FAO Schwarz
Hmm, what to choose?
We sure hope that's what was going through the minds of Knox and Pax Jolie-Pitt when the two arrived at FAO Schwarz in NYC on Friday with their famous mother Angelina Jolie.
Jolie, 37, looked stylish in a black dress coat, boots and a pair of shades while her sons perused the toy-filled aisles of the packed store.
Knox, 4, looked equally fashionable in a red and silver jacket, jeans and gold sneakers while his 8-year-old brother Pax stayed warm in a North Face vest and flying goggles.
Noticeably missing were the boys' siblings: Maddox, 11, Zahara, 8, Shiloh, 6 and Knox's twin sister Vivienne, 4.
The night before, Jolie turned heads on the red carpet at the 2013 Women in the World Gala, donning a gorgeous full-length brown Saint Laurent dress. The actress pledged $50,000 to build a school in 15-year-old Malala Yousafzai's name.

The president of the NSW branch of the Planning Institute of Australia, David Broyd, said allowing bushfire concerns to override other planning issues, such as the environment or economic development, would see Sydney suffer: "If we are going to achieve 500,000 new homes for Sydney in the next 30 years there will need to be a balance.
"This will very seriously affect our ability to achieve what we need. It's going to increase uncertainty and therefore discourage investment."
The Fire Service Commissioner, Phil Koperberg, said people were panicking unnecessarily. "The last thing we want to see is people who have bought land in good faith being unable to build a home," he said.
Assessment would be made by people with local knowledge who would use flexibility and commonsense, taking local conditions into account.
The Planning Institute's deputy president, Max Fragar, said it was poor policy to establish legislation "where there is going to have to be continual departure from the legislation and guidelines".
Mr Fragar said senior planners from "most councils" had contacted the institute, fearing that the new system will also greatly increase the cost and time taken to get development approval and damage the environment through excessive clearing.
Don Nott is a Blue Mountains real estate agent and former bushfire fighter. He had a client pull out of a land purchase at Springwood this week because of uncertainty about the new planning arrangements and he knows of a case where a bank declined finance for the same reasons.
Mr Nott is now telling customers that where there is doubt they should only enter contracts to buy land that are conditional on development approval being granted.
Nowra surveyor and past-president of the Institution of Surveyors, Terry Watkinson, agrees the guidelines are "fraught with danger because it's a generic book for the whole of the state".

NEW YORK – Outsourcing of services has been a persistent cause of panic and protectionism in recent years, especially in the United States since the 2004 presidential election. Back then, the Democratic candidate, Senator John Kerry, upon hearing that digital x-rays had been outsourced from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston for examination by radiologists in India, denounced firms that outsourced as Benedict Arnolds, the most infamous traitor in US history.
Kerry's misstep was followed by alarm over outsourcing across the West. If free trade is to regain the support of statesmen who now hesitate over liberalizing trade with developing countries, the myths that turn outsourcing into an epithet must be countered.
Myth 1: Outsourcing will be like a tsunami. While even a shrewd economist like the former US Federal Reserve Board member Alan Blinder thought this, it is not likely for several reasons, both "natural" and manmade. Consider just two.
First, it is simply not possible to outsource everything. For example, the fact that I can call someone in Bangalore to tell me how to fix a computer problem presupposes that I can understand her instructions. I tried this with a Dell computer and gave up after repeated attempts. I was so desperate that I asked Michael Dell, whom I met at the World Economic Forum in Davos, for a replacement.

Whitehaven, already battling the actions of troublesome shareholder
Whitehaven shares fell by up to 30¢, or 8.8 per cent, on the news to trade at $3.21 Monday afternoon. Whitehaven largely recovered those losses and closed the day down 2¢ to $3.50.
Managing director
"Whitehaven treats matters such as the fraudulent hoax announcement by Mr Moylan very seriously."
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission has launched its own investigation into the hoax. Mr Haggarty said Whitehaven would speak with both the corporate regulator and the Australian Securities Exchange about the incident.
"Whitehaven ... trusts those authorities to take the appropriate action," Mr Haggarty said. "Whitehaven is also investigating any legal action that may be available to it and its shareholders."
In November Whitehaven took out the facility with ANZ to cover $225 million of outstanding debt and the $575 million cost of its Maules Creek project.
Patersons resources analyst Andrew Harrington said it was "ridiculous" to think ANZ would cancel its funding commitment to Whitehaven. "There's probably been a year of discussions that went into finalising the bank deal ... so the market was not thinking straight to think the lead arranger would be quitting the consortium."

Almost two years ago unrest in various countries of the Middle East led to revolution. What was termed the Arab Spring led to the down fall of many leaders. One was President Mubarak of Egypt. The people of Egypt hoped for a better tomorrow and sacrificed a great deal to oust Mubarak from Office.
After the trials and tribulations of the Egyptian people you now have to wonder if they replaced one despot with another.
President Morsi gave himself sweeping powers. Many people took the streets again and in recent weeks protesters set up camp in Tahir Square. It was here that the revolutionaries had camped during the Arab Spring. demanding change.
In 2010 they had battled the army who were supporting Mubarak. It appears as if the Egyptian Army may once again be set against the people, who ultimately they serve. Only a few short hours ago pundits were claiming that Morsi had rescinded the decree granting him extensive powers and backed away from using the military to arrest any opposition. Now the latter is about to happen, allegedly temporarily.
The country is facing a constitutional referendum. The people are far from happy. Morsi's response has been to give the military temporary powers to arrest civilians.
With seven deaths last week and hundreds of casualties more bloodshed is expected. Morsi's Palace is nw surrounded by military power which is reminiscent of the old Mubarak days. Any arrests by military this week will not face justice nor be released until after Saturday's constitutional vote.
A military spokesperson claimed that the only people who will be arrested are those breaking the law in relation to the referendum, by for example burning buildings. He went on to claim that such arrests would be carried out if deemed necessary to allow the referendum to take place. Many of those who more freedoms in Egypt are against the vote.
At the heart of many of the problems is religious differences. If a hardline Islamist State is created those who protested for freedom during the Arab Spring may find their lives far from free.
The International Monetary Fund has made loans to Egypt but they had strings attached. One was tax rises. They have had to be suspended today.
Tomorrow Tuesday December 11 there are more widespread protests planned for Egypt. The army has already made dark threats of action should Egypt look as if it spiraling further out of control.
The country is more divided than ever. What price the Arab Spring?

Europe's Mightiest Bridge, Connecting Denmark and Sweden

THREE teenagers are simply "oar-some" as they recreated the gruelling cross-Channel row to raise money for charity.
Ewan Taylor, Ameila Durkin and Katy Chadbond, all aged 13, did not actually take to the waters, but that did not make their challenge any less strenuous — they used rowing machine.
The teenagers are pupils at St Joseph's RC High School in Horwich.
Ewan said: "We rowed for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. An organisation called Joining Jack supports muscular dystrophy and we are rowing for Jack, who suffers from the disease.
"Amelia also has a family member who suffers from the disease.
"We chose this charity because we felt that the money raised could go a long way into the medical research."
Jack Johnson is a fouryear-old from Wigan who has been diagnosed with the muscular dystrophy.
The trio trained at Katy's house for the 26- mile row. Amelia and Ewan rowed 20,000 metres each — equivalent to 13 miles — to cover the English Channel from Dover to Calais. It took them about two hours and 20 minutes.
They completed this, without any breaks.
Katy raised money by cycling the whole time the other two were rowing. They raised £300.
The pupils are complemented their challenge with other fundraising events such as cake sales.
The three said they decided to do this challenge "because it involves physical and mental endurance and we thought it would be a fun way to raise money."
Katy managed to provide a rowing machine and Bolton Arena provided another.

The city of Toronto's public housing agency is alleging that two former senior employees orchestrated a scheme where more than $1-million in improper invoices were submitted as part of the repair costs for a 2010 fire at a downtown high-rise building.
The "fraudulent conduct" of Roman Mesec and Lou Canton "jeopardized TCHC's critical insurance coverage and caused significant harm to TCHC's reputation," states the Toronto Community Housing Corp. in documents filed in Ontario Superior Court. The invoices included "undisclosed, unauthorized and in some instances, completely fabricated costs," the housing agency claims.
The allegations, contained in a statement of defence to wrongful dismissal lawsuits filed by the two men, outline for the first time what the housing agency said it uncovered after a forensic audit into insurance claims related to the 200 Wellesley Street fire.
Mr. Mesec, 51, and Mr. Canton, 64, were among five senior employees at the now-defunct TCHC subsidiary Housing Services Inc. who were dismissed last fall. "The findings are serious," said Gene Jones, the then-chief executive of TCHC, although he did not make public any details of the alleged misconduct.
None of the allegations made by either side has been proven in court.
The veteran public housing employees, who helped develop HSI in 2004 as a for-profit contractor and property services subsidiary of TCHC, are seeking a total of nearly $700,000 in severance pay, unpaid wages and damages, in the lawsuits filed in late April.
Mr. Mesec and Mr. Canton were in charge of HSI's contracting duties for the repairs at 200 Wellesley after the 2010 fire. Hundreds of the 1,200 residents at the high rise were displaced for several weeks after the fire, which was "catastrophic" and has "required the expenditure of tens of millions of dollars," TCHC states in its statement of defence.
HSI was the general contractor in the "emergency phase" following the fire and then a subcontractor to a private company for the "reconstruction phase" of the "200 Wellesley Reconstruction Project," TCHC says in the court documents.
The allegations of misconduct centre on whether HSI was permitted to charge its standard 10-per-cent markup for contracting work at 200 Wellesley.
The statements of claim filed by Mr. Mesec and Mr. Canton say that HSI received "conflicting and/or confusing instructions" from the insurance adjuster for 200 Wellesley, a cost-control consultant and TCHC itself. The two former managers also insisted they consulted regularly with the chief executive at HSI and senior officials at TCHC.
In response, TCHC says that HSI received very clear instructions about what it could claim for its work. "HSI's role as general contractor and subcontractor was subject to an important caveat: as a wholly owned subsidiary of the insured party, TCHC, HSI could not profit from the work performed in connection with the 200 Wellesley Insurance claim," the documents say.
Despite this directive, Mr. Mesec and Mr. Canton were two of "several individuals within HSI who improperly exploited the 200 Wellesley Reconstruction Project in an attempt to make HSI, which had been struggling to achieve success in its market space, appear to be profitable," the documents state. The two men "purposely and repeatedly disregarded mandatory directions and deceived other stakeholders," alleges TCHC, which has retained Laurie Jessome, from the Bay Street firm Cassels Brock, to defend the wrongful dismissal lawsuits.
The public housing agency notes that the compensation package for Mr. Mesec included a discretionary bonus of up to $14,000 annually and for Mr. Canton, up to $20,000 annually.
The statement of defence filed this week does not make any reference to other legal proceedings involving 200 Wellesley, including an ongoing lawsuit where TCHC is seeking $5.2-million from the main private contractor, for work done by HSI. In that lawsuit, TCHC is alleging that HSI was entitled to claim a 10 per cent markup.
The various insurers for TCHC and the company that managed the building are scheduled to be in court in July as part of ongoing legal proceedings to determine who should be responsible for the more than $30-million already paid out in repairs and other costs from the fire.
The housing agency cannot comment beyond what is filed in the court documents, said TCHC spokeswoman Sara Goldvine.
TCHC, which is the second largest public-housing provider in North America, is seeking a new permanent chief executive in the wake of unprecedented turnover of senior staff and a $750-million repair backlog for its properties.Report Typo/Error

ICTA to launch Online Content Filtering System to filter access to Child Sexual Abuse sites for Internet Users
Port Louis : In the context of Safer Internet Day, the ICT Authority will be launching a centralised Online Content Filtering solution to filter access to child sexual abuse (CSA) sites for Internet users in Mauritius . The mechanism forms part of the wide ranging functions of the Authority. Under section 18 (1) m provides the Authority with the mandate to "take steps to regulate or curtail harmful and illegal content on Internet and other information and communication services" and is in line with Section 14 of the Child Protection Act.
Honourable Tassarajen Pillay Chedumbrum, Minister of Information and Communication Technology will officially launch the Online
Content Filtering solution at the seat of the ICT Authority at 14.00 hours on Tuesday 8 th February 2011.
The Online Content Filtering project will enable the filtering of access to websites depicting Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) for Mauritian users. This ICTA project is the result of a consultative process with stakeholders concerned with the protection of children against child sexual abuse sites.
Editor's Note
The ICT Authority has chosen the Netclean Whitebox technology which was developed specifically for this task in 2006. This Child Sexual Abuse filtering system is presently hosted at the ICT Authority and is connected to all local ISPs providing Internet access to the public in Mauritius .
The system is based on a hybrid Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and Uniform Resource Locator (URL) filtering system. The first step involves a server containing the list of blocked sites (blacklist) which checks the IP addresses of these sites and advertises the routes for these sites to go to a filtering server hosted at the ICT Authority rather than the destination web site. The second step is where the filtering server checks the URL against a blacklist using packet inspection and if blocked, then the request is not passed on to the destination web site but redirected to a blocking server and displays a blocked page. If the site is not on the list, the filter passes the request as normal and the site is accessed by the ISP customer ("clean traffic"). The URL filtering list for this component will be the list established by the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), a non - profit organization that is widely recognised as one of the best in the world at managing a URL list of CSA sites coupled with the Interpol blacklist.

Reviews for Cherry Chocolate Coconut Cupcakes
Average Rating
"BIG HIT at the Christmas parties!!! I made this recipe twice and they were amazing!"
"This recipe was WONDERFUL and I got rave reviews from my co-workers. One of them even offered to pay me to make them for an upcoming birthday party in his family! I did add 1T of oil to the batter as suggested in another review and they came out extremely moist."
"What I liked about this recipe was tucking the coconut candy inside! Now I am a diabetic treated with diet and exercise so obviously I needed a couple changes. To begin with I frosted with refrigerated Vanilla Snack Pack Pudding and sprinkled a little coconut on top. I used sugar free cherry pie filling and Splenda instead of the sugar. I did splurge with the chocolate coconut candy inside. I also only made 12 cupcakes. I still captured her flavors!"
"Thank you to those who wrote reviews on this recipe thus making me try it! This one is definitely a keeper! Delicious!"
"I haven't made this recipe yet, but I was wondering if you could make it as a 9x13 cake instead of cupcakes? Would the batter be too much for a 9x13 size pan? Would it change the way it would turn out as far as the moistness and flavor?"
"I made this recipe for a potluck at work. Not only were these delicious, they looked amazing too. I had enough frosting to make another batch the next day and STILL had left over frosting. When I made my 2nd batch, I added about 1 T canola oil to the batter, and that made it alot moister. I would highly recommend adding a little oil to the cake batter. These are quite rich, but also work well as mini cupcakes (just cut the mounds bars into 4 pieces instead of 2) and they are the perfect snack size without being overbearing. I also topped mine with toasted coconut instead of the coarse sugar. Definitely a keeper!!!"
"Almond Joy is the nutty counterpart to Mounds. These have Mounds bars in them."
"I am curious, what candy bar did you use? the only coconut I could think of was almond joy"
"These cupcakes are to die for. Everyone who ate them said they were the best ever. I highly recommend!!"
"These cupcakes are fabulous. I made them for neighbor gifts and got rave reviews. There were even some who said this is the best cupcake they have ever had. The cake is very moist and dense with a delicious surprise inside, the frosting is wonderful, and they look so pretty with the cherries on top. They were a lot of fun to make."
"I'm a coconutaholic...I am definitely going to try this!!!!"
"The "ganache" IS the "cream cheese" frosting.This recipe is apparently making it's own "cream cheese"the combination of heavy cream/butter/white chips is the cream cheese.Sounds pretty good to me.What do you think?"
"Sounds great but the description is misleading...there is no "cream cheese" frosting............it is ganache frosting!!!!"

Orangettes are sweet, mildly citrusy, and chocolaty – well worth the labor to make them!
Since the first time I had tasted an orangette a few years ago at a Belgian chocolate shop with my boyfriend I never contemplated making my own at home. That was until I stumbled upon this recipe over at Food Network. It was perfect because my boyfriend was leaving town for a few weeks and I thought I'd make him something reminiscent of one of our first dates during the summer we met. The trail of orange peels and chocolate splatters all over the kitchen ended up being worth it because my orangettes were just as good as the first ones we ate together, if not better now.
Recipe Rundown
Taste: Sweet, mildly citrusy, chocolaty and admittedly slightly bitter (I increased the blanching time in this recipe here because of the bitterness).
Texture: Chocolate that snaps a little on the outside with squishy, candied orange peels on the inside.
Ease: Not very simple or easy. This is probably the most complicated recipe I've featured in a while simply due to the time it takes and the laborious steps. Nothing too outrageously difficult, however.
Appearance: Mine definitely looked homemade with some messy chocolate dipping but they're still cute and intriguing.
Pros: Taste much fresher than some store-bought orangettes. These would make a perfect unique addition to a holiday dessert table or for a lovely homemade gift.
Cons: Messy and time-consuming.
Would I make this again? Not anytime soon because this recipe is labor-intensive and time consuming. Maybe for a homemade holiday gift.
How to make Orangettes
- 4 large oranges
- 8 ounces water
- 8 ounces sugar
- 16 ounces dark chocolate
1. Slice the ends off of the oranges, score the peel from one end to the other, and remove the peels off the oranges. Slice the peels into thin strips and trim the edges.
2. Using a medium size pot, place the peels in boiling water and blanch them for 5 minutes. Rinse the peels, and repeat this process a second time. This is done to remove the bitterness of the peels.
3. Prepare the simple syrup by combining the water and sugar in a sauce pot. Bring the syrup to a simmer, place the peels in the pot, cover, and simmer for 1 hour. Once the peels have cooked, remove them from the pot, and place on a rack to cool and drain.
4. Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler. Dip the candied orange peels in the chocolate, remove them quickly. Place chocolate covered peels on parchment paper to set. Place orangettes in fridge to set faster if desired. Store the orange peels in an airtight container.

I love orangettes! Well the best part about making your own is that you can use organic orange peels and your favorite high quality chocolate – and of course they're fresh. 🙂
I only made candied orange peels once, and it was because I had a big bag of lovely organic oranges. It was a bit laborious, but they lasted a long time, and were great for adding to baked goods. Sometimes I would nibble on them with a piece of chocolate – but didn't commit to making the dipped confection at the time… I like your idea of making orangettes as gifts. 🙂
You can never go wrong with orange and chocolate!
I am guessing that you should use fresh water on the second blanch right?
Patty- Definitely organic!! Who wants candied pesticide peels?
Anonymous- Yes, fresh water would be best. I like to use my tea kettle so I have boiling hot water ready to go. Hope that helps 🙂
just came across these on tastespotting, and I am SO excited to make them! yum.
I, too, fell in love with orangettes several years ago on a visit to Belgium but they are difficult to find and very expensive here in the UK. So I was delighted to find your recipe.
This weekend I tried it out – candied the peels on Saturday, let them dry overnight and dipped them yesterday.
Utterly delicious! As you say, even better than the commercial ones and such a good flavour. I made orange (used up the oranges for a dessert of oranges in caramel with a little Grand Marnier added) and tried the same with 1 lemon which is also interesting. Next time, I shall try grapefruit, too as I like the slight bitterness.
Today I got my colleagues at work to sample the results and watched the expressions of bliss on their faces when they bit into them. I was instantly inundated with heavy hints about what they would like for Christmas this year!
Thank you so much, this will give me so much pleasure.

The harder end of minimal techno is the prevailing sound of Extraction. It's clear that Dare & Haste have closely followed Rob Hood's more visceral releases as well as the relentless assault of Jay Denham's Black Nation catalogue. These influences manifest themselves most audibly on the jarring riffs of "Emptied Hall", the jackhammer intensity of the title track or on "Fear Engineering", where a buzzing bassline accelerates the onset of an irresistibly gloomy techno groove. Added to these original compositions are some excellent remixes, including Chris Finke's dubby, acid-flecked take on "Extended Sink Device" and the eerie, isolationist minimal of Jake Conlon's version of "Residual Image Of Detroit".

The area of the kshetra is not limited within the en closure. In the aisles around the temple are some stray images like Nrisimha, Yamai, Lakshmi-Naravan, Khandoba etc. In the nOTth-east corner is the temple of Matangi devi which is supposed to be the shakti of the Bbavani, To the vi cst of this temple is the Matang kund. The pujaris of this shrine are Mahar by caste, The Mahatmja states that Bhavani herself took the form of Matangi. It was because of the atrocities of an asur named Matang. He was a powerful person and indulged most freely in warfare and desecration. He defeated and slew numerous kings, looted their treasures and abducted their wives and daughters, he burnt down several ashrams and slaughtered the sages and mendicants that stayed there. Cows were slaughtered by the scores, sacrificial altars
destroyed and temples were demolished. The gods also could not escape the grim fate and ultimately had to go to Bralimadeva to seek relief.Brahmadeva gave them a hearing but in the end expressed his inability to do anything in the matter and advised them to approach Amba. They accordingly went to Amba and after pleasing her with prayers and worships, told her their grievance. The goddess became furious with rage to learn of the behaviour of the demon and declared then and there that she would kill the demon shortly. She advised the deputation to return to their respective abodes. Then she go, upon her lion, armed herself to the teeth and went out to seek the asur.Matang had meanwhile heard of the devi's advance, gathered together his victorious army consisting of horse, chariot, elephant and foot soldiers and seated himself on a giant chariot. Thus battleready, he went to confront the goddess. After a fierce struggle in which the devi had ultimately to call out other Shaktis like Vaishnavi, Varahi, Brahmi etc. the demon was killed. Amba then praised her shakti who had killed Matang and told her that she would henceforth be known as Matangi.

U.S. billions for Iraq not worth it
Updated 11:07 pm, Wednesday, March 6, 2013
Washington --
Ten years and $60 billion in American taxpayer funds later, Iraq is still so unstable and broken that even its leaders question whether U.S. efforts to rebuild the war-torn nation were worth the cost.
In his final report to Congress, Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction Stuart Bowen's conclusion was all too clear: Since the invasion a decade ago this month, the U.S. has spent too much money in Iraq for too few results.
The reconstruction effort "grew to a size much larger than was ever anticipated," Bowen said in a preview of his last audit of U.S. funds spent in Iraq, to be released Wednesday. "Not enough was accomplished for the size of the funds expended."
Latest news videos
In interviews with Bowen, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said the U.S. funding "could have brought great change in Iraq," but fell short too often. "There was misspending of money," said al-Maliki, a Shiite Muslim whose sect makes up about 60 percent of Iraq's population.
The abysmal Iraq results forecast what could happen in Afghanistan, where U.S. taxpayers have so far spent $90 billion in reconstruction projects during a 12-year military campaign that, for the most part, ends in 2014.
To date, the U.S. has spent more than $60 billion in reconstruction grants to help Iraq get back on its feet after the country that has been broken by more than two decades of war, sanctions and dictatorship. And yet Iraq's government is rife with corruption and infighting. Baghdad's streets are still cowed by near-daily deadly bombings. A quarter of the country's 31 million population lives in poverty and few have reliable electricity and clean water.

|Influence of Land Use on Stream Ecosystem Function in a Mediterranean Catchment

|1. Due to the hierarchical organization of stream networks, land use changes occurring at larger spatial scales (i.e. the catchment) can affect physical, chemical and biological characteristics at lower spatial scales, ultimately altering stream structure and function. Anthropogenic effects on streams have primarily been documented using structural metrics such as water chemistry, channel alteration and algal biomass. Functional parameters, including metrics of nutrient retention and metabolism, are now being widely used as indicators of stream condition. 2. Within this hierarchical context, we used a multivariate approach to examine how structural and functional (i.e. nutrient retention and metabolism) attributes of streams are related to catchment variables, including land use. The study was done in 13 streams located within a single Mediterranean catchment, but draining sub-catchments with contrasting land use. 3. At the catchment scale, results showed two contrasting land use gradients: (i) from forested- to urban-dominated catchments and (ii) from low to moderate agricultural-dominated catchments. Variation in structural and functional parameters was strongly related to these land use gradients. Specifically, NH4+ demand (measured as the uptake velocity, Vf) decreased along the gradient from forested- to urban-dominated catchments primarily in response to increases in stream nutrient concentrations [NH4+, dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and carbon (DOC)]. Both primary production and respiration increased along the gradient of agricultural development in response to increases in algal biomass (chlorophyll a). Soluble reactive phosphorus demand was not related to any of the land use gradients. 4. Our results illustrate the connections among factors operating at different spatial scales (i.e. from catchments to streams) and their distinct influence on stream ecosystem function. Managers should take into consideration these connections when designing stream management and restoration plans. Because ecologically successful stream management and restoration is expected to restore function as well as structure to streams, the use of appropriate measures of functional processes is required. Nutrient retention and metabolism parameters are good candidates to fill this gap.

Aggression - Definition
physical direct indirect active
Aggression is defined as behavior aimed at causing harm or pain, psychological harm, or personal injury or physical distraction. An important aspect of aggressive behavior is the intention underlying the actor's behavior. Not all behaviors resulting in harm are considered aggression. For example, a doctor who makes an injection that harms people, but who did so with the intent of preventing the further spread of illness, is not considered to have committed an aggressive act.
Aggression can be direct or indirect, active or passive, and physical or verbal. Using these categories, human aggression can be grouped into eight classes of behavior:
- Punching the victim (direct, active, physical)
- Insulting the victim (direct, active, verbal)
- Performing a practical joke, setting a booby trap (direct, passive, physical)
- Spreading malicious gossip (direct, passive, verbal)
- Obstructing passage, participating in a sit-in (indirect, active, physical)
- Refusing to speak (indirect, active, verbal)
- Refusing to perform a necessary task (indirect, passive, physical)
Direct aggression, especially physically active aggression, is more common among animals. Actors who express indirect aggression usually feel less satisfaction, but they are also less concerned about retaliation. Passive and indirect aggression is the least noxious form. Subordinates rebelling against authority figures often use it. In the family relation it is often used by children against their parents.

as far as i know they do not.
Hey guys, just a quick question, do our protege 5's have cabin air filters? i was looking through the service manual and couldn't find anything.
as far as i know they do not.
the japanese one and european do, if you search there is parts that you can buy to do a retrofit
I believe theman did a how-to for this
2003 P5 46k miles KLDE motor with JDM tranny swap w/ lsd, Tien struts and Tien S springs, custom intake, Vibrant muffler with silencer
It runs off magical fairy dust, and little gremlins live in my engine.
things to do forge engine, t3/t4 turbo, intercooler, turbo manifold, new haltech tune, new wideband O2 sensor and gauge, new oil sandwich plate, and clean up my wiring a little more, A/C compressor and lines, and a little extra (thinking about deleing fog lights and using holes as possible ram air till i turbo it, or making a scoop driver side behind the lights) and lighting effects
Interesting, I wonder if the filter is thick enough in it to do the same thing I just got thru doing on my truck.....cut up an adjustable electrostatic washable house filter and made washable cabin air filter for my truck. Hmmmmm, I may have to look into doing this when I get caught up on other projects and/or get bored. Searching out that thread......................and here it is, yes he did......................
Don't be scared when you first start reading the thread, there is a shortcut further into the thread. Looks to be about 50.00 of parts and an exacto knife to gittit done...........
Last edited by i12drivemyMP5; 03-16-2012 at 07:00 AM.
So what I am understanding is we just need these to do it...
That will be my path.....mp3 license plate bracket, filter, door, seal & exacto knife or dremel.
K, I will be doing it too as soon as we get our return.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/1/2014 (1316 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Winnipeg Humane Society (WHS) is using its Beat the Heat campaign to fight the cat overpopulation crisis in Winnipeg. This February, a female cat spay has been reduced from the typical $225-$125 veterinarian clinic range to just $20 at the WHS.
"By encouraging pet owners to fix them this February, before they come into their first heat, we could prevent thousands of unwanted litters," said Dr. Erika Anseeuw.
Cat owners should call 204-888-7627 to book an appointment for their feline friends.

By Little Falls Mayor Cathy VanRisseghem
"The Future belongs to those who invest in Today and have a Hope for Tomorrow." —Author unknown
On Friday, May 23, the "Taylor Chebet Twitchell Playground" will become a reality in Little Falls. The Mayor's Youth Task Force is preparing for a community build May 23-25.
Committee members and volunteers will save the project $30,000 by installing the equipment under the guidance of an engineer from Landscape Structures. The playground will be located on the former MnDOT property just off Edmund Street, northeast of Little Falls. The city of Little Falls received a $100,000 donation from Paul and Emily Twitchell in memory of their infant daughter, Taylor Chebet Twitchell, who passed away at birth. The playground will be named after Taylor.
In January 2010 the Little Falls City Council approved the formation of the "Mayor's Youth Task Force" to gather information from local youths, other groups and organizations regarding youth needs and make recommendations to the City Council in reference to their findings. They will coordinate and facilitate shared community projects that impact the lives of young people.
The Task Force partnered with Healthy Communities Collaborative and the Boys and Girls Club and sponsored a gathering, "Pizza with the Mayor," attracting 75 plus kids and adults.
After much discussion and brainstorming, the kids and adult mentors came up with several projects they wanted to tackle, including a Splash Pad and All Wheel Park. Much research was done through the internet, visiting other communities with similar projects, and contacting companies who install splash pads and all wheel parks.
The Task Force notified City Council and met with city staff to see what land was feasible for the two projects. Our research revealed that area parks were not suitable for the projects.
In 2012, we discovered the MnDOT property, located north of Little Falls, that was part of the old trunk Highway 371. We contacted MnDOT and found that they were asking $110,000 for the 20 acres of property. Working with Sen. Gazelka's office and the commissioner of MnDOT, we were able to acquire the land for free, as long as the property was utilized for public purposes in perpetuity.
The Little Falls City Council accepted the land for public use and developed the "The Little Falls Community Recreation Complex Task Force" (LFCRCTF). The task force was to access the recreational needs in Little Falls and develop a recommendation to the City Council. The committee readily moved forward while the Mayor's Youth Task Force started securing grants and working through budget, design and management issues as well as long-term maintenance costs.
In August 2013, the city of Little Falls received a $100,000 donation from Paul and Emily Twitchell to go toward playground equipment at the proposed Splash Pad and All Wheel Skate Park site.
In October 2013, Short Elliott and Hendrickson (SEH) was hired by the city with funds that had been donated to the Mayor's Youth Task Force. From the recommendation of the LFCRCTF, SEH presented to the Council sketches of the possible layout of a recreational complex that, one day, may include baseball fields, a community center, disc golf, a horseshoe and picnic area, basketball courts, a doggie park, parking, a splash pad and an all-wheel park.
In March 2014, the City Council officially named the MnDOT property site as the Little Falls Area Recreation Center (LFARC).
The Mayor's Youth Task Force is committed to developing the playground, splash pad and all-wheel park without taxpayers' money. They have worked with determination these past four years to make this project a reality in Little Falls.
To date, the Youth Task Force has acquired free land from MnDOT, playground equipment from the Twitchell family, several additional donated playground pieces from Landscape Structures, engineering services at a much reduced rate from SEH, free shipping of the playground equipment by Little Falls Dray, excavating services from Eagle Construction, use of equipment and services from Brothers Exteriors and Van's Construction, totaling over $300,000.
A Grants Committee has been meeting on a regular basis seeking and applying for grants, and another group, ARC Boosters (a non-city group), has formed and applied for non-profit status to do fundraising for the projects.
The potential impact to the area is more than just a large playground for our citizens. It's a place where people from all walks of life can gather for picnics, walking, hiking, biking, exercising, playing in the water and so much more. It will be an additional draw to Little Falls for new families, health professionals, housing development, business development and tourism.
I am extremely proud of the Mayor's Youth Task Force and the work they've done. I believe together we can make this project a reality in Little Falls.

Bodywise Massage
Wellness goes hand-in-hand with relaxation, and at Bodywise Massage, the staff strives to boost both. Everything from Swedish and deep-tissue massages to spa treatments such as body wraps and foot baths soothe the senses while the creature comforts of candlelight, crackling firewood, and soft blankets surround gests throughout. But these health mavens also aim to get their wards up and moving. Classes strengthen bodies and minds alike by focusing on qigong and mankind's favorite way to think about a society run by kittens: meditation.

This site is dedicated to the Acting, Dancing, and choreography of my daughter Candice E. Taylor. She is constantly working on her craft and is motivated daily by her love of performing.
When it comes to Acting she gets nothing but joy from it. If there isn't a part for her, then she'll write a film with a part for her.
When it comes to Dancing, it's the performing and not the competition that she considers the best.
When it comes to Choreography, it's got to be different and creative. Something those traditional Scottish dancers, teachers, and judges have never seen before.
Mostly, this site contains pictures of my daughter Candice's growth in realizing her own potential. It wasn't following the rules per-say of how to be a "Starlet" or traditional Scottish Highland Dance competition or what was right and wrong when it came to choreography. EMAIL HER:firstname.lastname@example.com...for any questions or interests.

Matt Lauer became a regular co-host of NBC's Today show on January 6, 1997 and while his partners have changed over the years from Katie Couric, to Meredith Vieira and most recently Ann Curry, he's joined them in regularly serving viewers a hearty portion of liberal spin to go along with their morning cup of coffee.
Over the years Lauer has treated his Democratic guests with light and frothy questions, as was the case when he asked Barack Obama how he would be able to "manage" the "expectations" of those hoping he would be their "Savior" and "Messiah." In contrast he's hit Republicans with bitter queries about their ability to lead, like the time he asked then Senator-Elect Rand Paul if Republicans, after having rode a "wave of anger and energy" into office in the 2010 midterms, would then "govern in Washington with anger?"
Below are just a few examples of Lauer's bias over the years. For a more extensive collection please visit his Profile in Bias page. (video after the jump)
Hating Conservatives
Co-host Matt Lauer: "For people who don't remember, Senator, your time in the Senate, how would you describe yourself in terms of the political spectrum? Some have called you an ultra-conservative on social issues. Is that fair?"
Former Senator Rick Santorum: "Look, I'm a conservative. Yeah, I mean, I believe life begins at conception and I believe marriage is between a man a woman...."
Lauer: "In a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, 65 percent of people said they are most likely to vote for a candidate in 2012 who is strong on the economy, on the deficit, on jobs, not social issues. That's not really what they are concerned about. So are you, are you barking up the right tree?"
— NBC's Today, March 8, 2011
Sucking Up to Obama
"Fit to serve: Barack Obama photographed shirtless in Hawaii and a lot of women are giving him the presidential seal of approval."
— NBC's Matt Lauer starting out the Today show, December 23, 2009
"People have called you 'The Savior,' 'The Messiah,' 'The Messenger of Change.' The expectations have been raised to such a level....If you are, as you just say, lucky enough to be elected the next President, are you going to have to consciously manage expectations during the first several months of your administration?"
— Lauer to Barack Obama on Today, Oct. 20, 2008.
Saluting Socialism
Co-host Matt Lauer: "What's the civics lesson in this for our kids as they're watching this on TV?"
Correspondent Natalie Morales: "Well, I think there — as a parent, there's a huge civics lesson, and it teaches, you know, what is important about this. What are — I think you have to ask the questions, 'What are they there for, what are the reasons behind this?' And I think the idea of having that civil discourse is important to teach our kids and it's something in history we've seen...."
— Exchange on NBC's Today about the Occupy Wall Street protestors on October 21, 2011.
"Russia's rush to capitalism left the vast majority scrambling to survive. For many, life is worse than it was in Soviet times."
– NBC's Matt Lauer in Moscow on the February 12, 2004 Today.
"Americans are working more and getting less vacation time than people in any other industrialized nation....I feel strange saying, I never stopped to think about the fact there is no official U.S. policy on vacation time."
-Today host Matt Lauer to Escape magazine's Joe Robinson, a proponent of mandated vacation, June 12, 2000.
Baffled/Embarrassed by Unabashed Expressions of Liberty and Patriotism
Matt Lauer: "Two thousand British moviegoers were recently polled on a very important question. What are the Top 10 Cheesiest Movie Lines of all-time?...Braveheart takes #8 with the baffling battle cry."
Clip of Mel Gibson on horseback rallying his warriors in the movie Braveheart about 13th century Scots battling the British: "That they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!"
— NBC's Today, December 7, 2004.
Matt Lauer: "You are expecting a greater wave of patriotism here in the United States, in this particular time, than other countries have shown when they've hosted the games."
Lloyd Ward, U.S. Olympic Committee President: "I certainly expect the stands to be rocking. I expect the flags to be flying. And you know, the expression of patriotism is fine for any country that hosts the Olympics. We want to express our nationalism as a part of the world's community and I expect to see that."
Lauer: "But we have to also be careful and draw a line not to let our patriotism get in the way of the games in general."
– Exchange on NBC's Today, February 7, 2002.
Matt Lauer in Baghdad: "Talk to me...about morale here. We've heard so much about the insurgent attacks, so much about the uncertainty as to when you folks are going to get to go home. How would you describe morale?"
Chief Warrant Officer Randy Kirgiss: "In my unit morale is pretty good. Every day we go out and do our missions and people are ready to execute their missions. They're excited to be here."
Lauer: "How much does that uncertainty of [not] knowing how long you're going to be here impact morale?"
Specialist Steven Chitterer: "Morale is always high. Soldiers know they have a mission. They like taking on new objectives and taking on the new challenges...."
Lauer: "Don't get me wrong here, I think you are probably telling me the truth but a lot of people at home are wondering how that could be possible with the conditions you're facing and with the attacks you're facing. What would you say to those people who are doubtful that morale can be that high?"
Captain Sherman Powell: "Sir, if I got my news from the newspapers also, I'd be pretty depressed as well."
— Exchange on NBC's Today, August 17, 2005.
Matt Lauer: "Have you ever gotten up one morning, read the newspaper or seen the news about a particularly horrific crime or event that involved a shooting and thought even for a second, I may be on the wrong side of this issue?"
NRA President Charlton Heston: "No, I never felt that."
Lauer: "Never wavered?"
– Exchange on NBC's Today, September 5, 2002.
"When Lauer has to report stories such as the recent first-grade shooting in Michigan, he says, a part of him wishes he weren't a journalist. Then he wouldn't have to appear objective. 'I'd love to be more opinionated about guns.' He fears historians will describe turn-of-the-21st-century America 'in just two words: gun violence.' He tells of attending a party where friends discussed their office layouts – which closets they'd hide in to save their lives. 'People at cocktail parties now talk about their personal safety. There's something really wrong here.'....
"If he could ask President Clinton just two questions: 'It wouldn't be about [Monica Lewinsky]. I'd ask, "What are you going to do about guns? Why not make this issue one of your legacies?'"
-From a profile of Today co-host Matt Lauer by Jeffrey Zaslow in the April 28-30, 2000 edition of USA Weekend.
...but Pro-Green
"Today, life on earth is disappearing faster than the days when dinosaurs breathed their last, but for a very different reason....Us homo sapiens are turning out to be as destructive a force as any asteroid. Earth's intricate web of ecosystems thrived for millions of years as natural paradises, until we came along, paved paradise, and put up a parking lot. Our assault on nature is killing off the very things we depend on for our own lives....The stark reality is that there are simply too many of us, and we consume way too much, especially here at home....It will take a massive global effort to make things right, but the solutions are not a secret: control population, recycle, reduce consumption, develop green technologies."
— Lauer hosting Countdown to Doomsday, a 2-hour June 14, 2006 Sci-Fi Channel special.

National Beer Day and PB&J Goodness in Today's Eater's Digest
Happy Beer Day
On this date in 1933 beer was once again made legal in the United States. Legal for brewing, legal for selling and legal for drinking. The brews had to be less then 3.2% ABV; but it was a good start. Celebrate National Beer Day by making a pit stop to your favorite bar or treat yourself to a nice six-pack. Swing by Taste of Tops and sample 4 of the 24 craft beers they have on tap for just $8 or hit up Papago Brewing Co. for a basket of beer bites and a pint of their signature Coconut Joe Milk Stout. Yum!
PB & J Bars
In light of yesterday's
disgusting interesting take on the classic peanut butter & jelly we all love so much, we thought we would give you a prettier more appetizing picture to look at. These PB & J Bars are just as good as look , maybe better. Even if these treats aren't your thing, check out Amanda's blog anyway. Her food photos are mouthwatering.

Several Neshoba County families contributed multiple members to the World War II war effort.
Seaman Coy Alligood served in the Merchant Marines, while his son, Charles, was a private in the United States Army.
Robert Carley Peebles, also a veteran of World War I, rose to the rank of major with the Provost Marshall's Office, while his son, Robert "Bob" Marvin Peebles, flew as a lieutenant with the Fifth Army Air Force in the Asiatic-Pacific Theatre of Operations.
On August 18, 1943, the heavy bombers, B-17 Flying Fortresses and B-24 Liberators, joined with the medium B-25 Mitchell bombers to attack Japanese aircraft and to destroy the air base at Wewak, New Guinea.
One of the B-25 aircraft, piloted by First Lieutenant John M. Donegon and co-piloted by Second Lieutenant Bob Peebles, received numerous hits from both anti-aircraft fire and from Japanese interceptors.
Within minutes, the Japanese had blasted away the rudder controls and 250 bullets pierced the fuselage of Donegon's plane. Blood quickly covered four of the five man crew.
Donegon, age 26, sustained three shrapnel wounds in the arm. Peebles, 20, received injuries to his head, arm, wrist and chest. Shrapnel penetrated the head and body of First Lieutenant Victor Scammel, navigator.
Staff Sergeant Donald Bybee, tail turret gunner, 23, suffered a slight wound, and Staff Sergeant Joseph Carroll, radio operator and waist gunner, 21, was uninjured.
After the crippled aircraft ascended to an altitude of 16,500 feet to find clear weather, Waist Gunner John Carroll came forward to assist his injured officers.
Carroll remembered: "I put an oxygen mask on Scammel and then crawled back to see how Bybee was. He said he was alright, but he looked pretty bad.
"I got an oxygen mask out of the rear compartment," Carroll continued, "and took it forward. Lieutenant Donegon told me to give it to Peebles.
But Peebles was still conscious enough to refuse to take the mask. He insisted that Donegon wear it - after all, it was the pilot who would have to get us back."
During the remainder of the three-hour trip home, Donegon flew the B-25 without rudders, using only the throttle.
With little control of his bomber, the injured pilot told the two sergeants to bail out, but the loyal crew knew that Donegon needed them to crank down the flaps and assist with what had to be a very dangerous landing.
As the plane neared the runway, the men of the airship saw another plane parked in the middle of the airfield. Donegon circled five times, three times low right over the plane.
"With Schammel and Peebles apparently bleeding to death," said Donegon, "I couldn't wait any longer."
The bomber came in fast and landed in the grass to one side of the runway.
"We scraped and jolted along, throwing up a huge cloud of dust. It was pretty bumpy, but we didn't nose over or catch fire," added Donegon.
Awaiting ambulances transported Peebles and Schammel immediately to the Army hospital. Nurses provided blood transfusions and within hours their recovery began.
Later from his hospital bed, Victor Schammel said, "As a matter of fact, that was about the most masterful crash landing I've ever see. John did a perfect job."
The heroic and gracious John Donegon later wrote to Peebles's wife in Philadelphia, Mississippi: "Bob and I were flying together when he was wounded a few weeks ago ... I want you to know how courageous he proved himself ... Bob remained cool and controlled, and by calling out the various attackers enabled us to evade or force off most of them ... had lacerations on the shoulder and arm which cost him much blood - but weak and groggy as he was, he kept fighting in every way possible.
"It was only by a narrow margin that we were able to return to base, and if it had not been for Bob's part ... we would probably either have burned on our crash landing or else never returned at all. All of the crew agree on this; and the rest of the squadron too, for it had recommended him for the Silver Star."
The War Department agreed with the air squadron's recommendation and awarded the lieutenant from Neshoba County a Silver Star and Purple Heart.
Lieutenant General George C. Kenney, commanding general of the Allied forces in the Southwest Pacific, presented the awards to the young Neshoba hero.
