Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant pastor or seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith. Eventually, he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."
Over the weekend while Harold Camping was hiding out after his failed prediction that the Rapture would occur on Saturday, May 21st, I was talking to a friend about what Camping was likely to do next.
I expressed the hope that Camping would make a public statement acknowledging his error and cease making end time predictions. I also expressed the fervent hope that Camping and his followers would not bring on their own personal end of the world through a suicide pact (a la Heaven's Gate, the Order of the Solar Temple, and Jim Jones' People's Temple). I didn't think that the probable outcome in this situation, though. Instead, I said that the most likely thing would be a modification of previous predictions.
My prediction was right!
On Monday Camping gave a press conference in which he said that he had been right about a major supernatural event occurring on Saturday, only it was of a different nature. Instead of a supernatural set of earthquakes and a rapture, it was an invisible, "spiritual" visitation of divine judgment on the earth—something undetectable by the senses and thus unfalsifiable. His remaining prediction—that the world itself would end on October 21st, he reaffirmed.
See for yourself!
Steven Greydanus—the friend to whom I was talking—has an excellent treatment of Camping's new position and its problems, so be sure to check it out.
I must note that the prediction I made about what Camping was likely to do wasn't due to any supernatural information. In fact, it was a safe prediction based on lots of prior experience.
Groups that have made false apocalyptic predictions have a long history of maintaining-with-variation when their predictions fail.
A famous example was the William Miller, who predicted the end of the world between March 21, 1843 and March 21, 1844. When the latter date passed, an adjustment was made based on the use of a different Jewish calendar (that of the Karaite Jews), suggesting April 18, 1844. That, too, passed, and Miller wrote a letter in which he told his followers (now known as Millerites) in words eerily parallel to Harold Camping's:
"I confess my error, and acknowledge my disappointment; yet I still believe that the day of the Lord is near, even at the door."
Later that year, one Millerite preacher—Samuel Snow—predicted another specific date for Christ's return: October 22nd.
The Millerite sect was a notable one in 19th Century America, and thousands of people made preparations, including giving up their possessions.
When October 23rd came with no return of Christ, the event became labelled "the Great Disappointment."
In the wake the the Great Disappointment, many continued to maintain some form of faith in the Millerite system, but with modifications.
Nineteenth-century America was a more rambunctious place, and the reaction to the Great Disappointment was startling by modern standards. Wikipedia notes:
There were also the instances of violence — a Millerite church burned in Ithaca and two vandalized in Dansville and Scottsville. In Loraine, a mob attacked the Millerite congregation with clubs and knives, while a group in Toronto was tarred and feathered. Shots were fired at another Canadian group meeting in a private house.
Many Millerites maintained their faith, however:
Both Millerite leaders and followers were left generally bewildered and disillusioned. Responses varied: some continued to look daily for Christ's return, others predicted different dates—among them April, July, and October 1845. Some theorized that the world had entered the seventh millennium — the "Great Sabbath," and that therefore, the saved should not work. Others acted as children, basing their belief on Jesus' words in Mark 10:15 "Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it." Millerite O. J. D. Pickands used Revelation to teach that Christ was now sitting on a white cloud, and must be prayed down.
Others offered other interpretations, such as the idea that the offer of salvation to mankind had ended (a view already reported among Campingites), that Jesus had returned invisibly, and that Jesus had begun the judgment by cleansing the heavenly sanctuary.
The latter view led, in particular, to the formation of the Seventh-Day Adventist denomination.
Miller's teachings also had an influence on the formation of the Jehovah's Witnesses, who famously predicted (among other things) the return of Christ in 1914 and then, when this didn't happen, reinterpreted it as a spiritual enthronement of Christ.
And there is a lamentable history of such prophecies and reinterpretations among them since.
This phenomenon isn't unique to the Millerites, the Adventists, the JWs, and the Campingites, though. It's broader than that. Non-Christians are subject to it, as well.
A famous case is recorded in the book When Prophecy Fails by Leon Festinger. Back in the 1950s, he and two other social scientists infiltrated a UFO sect that had doomsday beliefs and then watched what happened as the predicted doomsday failed to appear. Similar things happened.
(Incidentally, Festinger termed the clash of existing beliefs with new evidence against them "cognitive dissonance"—a now-popular term.)
The phenomenon appears concerning non-doomsdays, too. In his famous book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn points out that scientific change does not happen in the orderly, step-by-step, incremental way that they are often depicted. Instead, it tends to have violent revolutions, in which one model resists change with only minor modifications for a long time and then suddenly collapses when the weight of evidence against it becomes too great. Until that point, scientists only tweak their their preferred theories enough to account for new, incoming data.
So strong is the tendency to cling to old theories that it often requires one generation of scientists to die off to allow a new theory to take its place.
(Incidentally, Kuhn referred to this shift of beliefs as moving from one "paradigm" to another or as a "paradigm shift"—another now-popular term.)
But the phenomenon is even broader than science and religion. It's part of basic human nature, and it applies everywhere, to every form of belief, opinion, or theory.
C. S. Lewis wrote an essay entitled On Obstinacy in Belief, in which he pointed out we have a form of mental inertia that tends to preserve us in our beliefs, that we tend to only tweak them when minor amounts of contrary evidence is presented, and that major shifts occur only when the amount of evidence becomes overwhelming.
He also points out that this is entirely natural and that we would be ill served if we were configured so that each new bit of data required us to call into question the entirety of our beliefs. It's on-balance good that we're obstinate in our beliefs, because the majority of them are correct and suspending our beliefs at the slightest provocation would cause us not only to squander an enormous amount of time and cognitive resources but would result in a literally fatal form of paralysis.
The trick is to make sure that we're forming our beliefs in a reliable way, which Harold Camping definitely was not. Not only was he disconnected from the magisterium Christ established and operating all by his lonesome, he also was using demonstrably crazy methodology that was anything but sure to lead to a reliable conclusion.
But let's not be too hard on Harold Camping.
Yes, he's beclowned himself. In public. All over again. By predicting the end of the world on October 21st of this year. That has almost no chance of happening. But given the cognitive dissonance he's been presented with, and the alternative interpretations available to him, it's not surprising that he displayed obstinacy in belief and avoided a major paradigm shift.
And so my prediction came true.
It'll be interesting to see what he does come October 22nd.
Anyone care to wager with me?
What do you think?
The most accurate and detailed non-fiction book I know of on pretribulation rapture history is journalist Dave MacPherson's "The Rapture Plot" (available by calling 800.643.4645) – a book every Catholic should have since the best known pretrib rapture promoters (e.g., Scofield, Lindsey, LaHaye etc.) are strongly anti-Catholic and believe that the future Antichrist will be headquartered in Rome (and you can almost guess where!). Google articles of interest include "Catholics Did NOT Invent the Rapture," "The Real Manuel Lacunza," "Pseudo-Ephraem Taught Pretrib – NOT!," "John Darby Did Not Invent the Rapture," "Margaret Macdonald's Rapture Chart" (she originated the pretrib rapture), "Edward Irving is Unnerving," "Famous Rapture Watchers," "Evangelicals Use Occult Deception," "Pretrib Hypocrisy," and "Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty." Every Catholic church should have "The Rapture Plot" (see above) especially since many Catholics have been brainwashed by the best-selling "Left Behind" books and movies based on the false, 185-year-old pretrib rapture fantasy which didn't invade and take over American evangelicalism much before 1909!
The article contains information that makes some end the discussion of the Second Coming of Jesus with Harold Camping, while for some it may just be a starting point for deeper research into the prophecies of Scripture.
The Bible, which was suppressed for centuries from the common people by the Medieval Christian Church on penalty of death, is filled with prophecies that accurately predicted the birth of Jesus Christ now recognized by all Christian Denominations of today and Muslims, except the Jewish faith.
This same Divine Oracle which contains a number of prophecies that predict the end of the world and herald the Second Coming of Jesus is now covered in darkness because of people such as Mr. Harold, the honest mistake of William Miller and the blunder of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Let us not put the blame on these groups of people alone. The misunderstanding of the Scriptures stems from the very principles of heresy introduced around the time of the first Advent of the Messiah.
Today's errors and misapplication of Scripture also have their root in two faith Catholics who introduced two new ideas to the interpretation of Scripture which Catholicism has never accepted but it has made inroads into evangelicalism of which Mr. Camping is a victim theological confusion.
Francisco Ribera (1537-1541), Spanish Jesuit theologian, developed a futuristic hermeneutic for prophecy, making an individual—not a system—the antichrist. An individual antichrist would arise in the distant future to work for three and a half years, not for centuries prior to end of the world. Protestants who espoused Futurism were Samuel Maitland, William Burgh, John Darby, James Todd, and John Henry Newman.
Luis de Alcazar (1554-1613), Spanish Jesuit theologian, developed Preterism which took the prophecies and applied them to the past. This meant that the Book of Revelation os not about the future but of past historic events. Among the Protestants that espoused this view are Hugi Grotis of Holland, Hammond of England, J.C. Eichhorn, G.H.A. Ewald, G.C.F. Lucke, W.M.L. De Wette, Franz Delitzsch and Julius Wellhausen.
Clearly one can see the tremendous implications of these two Catholic theologians who, to this day, have influence in evangelical circles that believe in a secret rapture when the 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 declare that Jesus return will be loud and public:
15 According to the Lord's word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
The same idea is found in Revelation 1:7
"Look, he is coming with the clouds," and "every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him"; and all peoples on earth "will mourn because of him." So shall it be! Amen.
"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."
In all fairness, Mocking Mr. Camping for his inability to speak coherently regarding endtime events, should also be extended to others who have contributed to this mess.
If the Bible was kept from the people until about 500 years, the Bible is now shrouded in mystery because of religious confusion. There is plenty of blame to go around.
Followers and believers in Harold Camping's prophecy's.
But I do know that his predictions did get some people to start thinking about their relationship with God again, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING.
Not at the price of God's name being blasphemied among the nations because of him. Especially since the thoughts of some were clearly I have to stay away from this religion business, it will drive me as crazy as Camping.
Why all the animosity on this site towards non-Catholic Christians?
Please be more specific. Is it that false prophets are described accurately as such? Or what?
Most "Protestants" call themselves Christians, and MOST acknowledge Catholics as Christians as well. Believers in Christ. Why can't people acknowledge the similarities in our faith, as opposed to nit-picking the differences?
If the differences are so trivial, then you should be doing what Paul recommended for meat sacrificed to idols, namely yielding to the scruples of those do not find them trivial. We think they are important. We also think your state of schism is important. Therefore you should accomodate our wishes.
My prediction agrees with yours, Jimmy. Come October 21, he will once again re-interpret reality ala 1984 (the book). But I predict, also, that it will not be nearly the media event, because Family Radio appears to be distancing itself from him by removing all apocalyptic material from their Website and from their radio broadcasts, as well as playing classic Camping sermons from before he lost it in the late 80s (incidentally, the man used to have a much higher-pitched voice, and he spoke more quickly and vibrantly—that's old age for you—see my post: http://chrysologus.blogspot.com/2011/05/my-predictions-for-family-radio.html). Without support from Family Radio and people dropping down big money for advertising, I wouldn't be surprised if only a few people on Oct. 21 even remember Camping.
...minsunderstanding of his *words*.
@Proto 1 - Actually, Pope Innocent III never said that the world would end 666 years after the rise of Islam. That is a misunderstanding of his worlds He believed that *Islam* itself would only exist for 666 years, since he saw Muhammad as the antichrist and thought that the Book of Revelation's statement about the "mark of the beast" applied to him. In his bull, "De negotio Terrae Sanctae," the pope said: "Nevertheless, we trust God, who has already given us some good sign that the end of this beast (Islam) is approaching, and its number, according to the Apocalypse of John is limited to six hundred and sixty-six, of which almost six hundred years have been completed." There's nothing said about the end of the world, just the (supposed) end of Islam.
@BPL/Erika - God bless you for joining in the discussion. However, as a Catholic, I do perceive a lot of anti-Catholic sentiment among "protestants," many of whom don't consider Catholics to be Christians at all, but rather "a Babylonian mystery cult," "the whore of Babylon," "priest-ridden," "pope-driven" etc. I've listened to Harold Camping, and he was very selective about who he considered "in the club." I also had the opportunity to visit an AG reading room where a good swath of the materials were absolute slander against Catholicism. They use such distortions to steal away disaffected Catholics, and to reinforce members about their supposed spiritual superiority. You can't be unaware of the history of anti-Catholic bigotry in our good ol' USA. The Church has been persecuted here, and continues to face persecution. Finally, @BPL, it's great that you believe, and really feel good about it, but wouldn't it be nice to have "fullness of the faith" as Christ himself handed it down? It's not all about "feeling good." If it were, everybody would be Christians, not just the elect of God. God bless you!
It's easy to debunk him; if he were a prophet he would know the Catholic church is the One Christ founded on Peter and he would be Catholic.
Well since it was a spiritual rapture then it will be a spiritual end of the world and the spiritual judgement will be another 5-6 months after Oct 21. Only the spiritual followers of Harold Camping will notice any of it.
No doubt Camping is a fraud and a heretic. However, keep in mind that others have predicted the end of the world also such as a pope. "1284 Pope Innocent III Pope Innocent III predicted that the world would end 666 years after the rise of Islam." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_predicted_dates_of_the_end_of_the_world_or_similar_events
@BPL, I'm a Lutheran and what you describe makes me sad too. I read this site daily because I admire and respect many things about the Catholic church and I feel I have a lot to learn from ALL my brothers and sisters in Christ…I just wish the respect could be mutual; that Catholics would look at us and see fellow Christians, not the dreaded P-word. I'm afraid, however, that they just sincerely see us as being gravely in error for being outside the Catholic church; as by visiting this site we're in essence guests in their house, we have to respect their beliefs on the subject.
Woops, just noticed the "one paragraph" clause. Sorry 'bout that.
Why all the animosity on this site towards non-Catholic Christians? Or as many people still like to say, "protestants" (a term usually only heard in Catholic circles). Most "Protestants" call themselves Christians, and MOST acknowledge Catholics as Christians as well. Believers in Christ. Why can't people acknowledge the similarities in our faith, as opposed to nit-picking the differences?
Almost all Christian sects claim to have the true understanding of Scripture, but obviously all of them can't be entirely correct.
I was raised a Catholic, but left the church in my teens MAINLY because of the hypocrisy I saw from the leaders in my parish, and their relentless mistreatment of me as a student in their school (from the nuns to the principals). No, I wasn't molested, but i was mistreated and mis-judged from nearly day one at that school, by the faculty.
In addition, they said "make no graven images", but there they were, graven images everywhere. I believed (and still do) salvation is a choice of the person, no the parent. They were also heavy on the presumption that being "the true church" that Catholics are the only ones going to heaven. Vain repetition of prayer, calling leaders "Father", and the fact that I just couldn't bear what I believed to be an overwhelming air of arrogance, from the pomp of Sunday service, to the attitudes of the members Monday through Saturday.
But we're all human here, people are imperfect, and despite my bad experience with the Catholic church, I eventually forgave all those people for the way I was treated. And I know that not everyone has the same experience I did. But it had an impact on me, obviously. But I wasn't gong back for more.
But as an adult I came to Christ not in a church, but alone in an alcoholism treatment center bed, several weeks off the bottle, where I experienced the undeniable presence of the Holy Spirit, and my life was transformed instantly, my craving for alcohol lifted, and my walk with Christ began. I love the church I am a member of, where the Gospel is taught in every-day layman's terms, we are accepted for who we are, as we come, and are challenged to get our hands dirty with whatever ministry God calls us to do, and to ask people in distress "Can I pray for you right now?", which, admittedly, I fall short of badly. And a large portion of the tithe goes directly to helping the homeless and hungry people in our own backyard, of which there are many.
But my point here is that WE ARE ON THE SAME TEAM, are we not? What's the point in bashing protestants? I can assure you that there's not a lot of smack-talking going on about Catholics in the daily activities of most Christians. You believe the way you do, and everyone else believes the way they do. NO CHURCH is 100% right about anything. And likewise, no particular church has exclusive insight into the correct interpretation of the bible. If it was that easy, everyone would agree.
We are all sincere in our faith and our individual beliefs. At least I believe MOST of us are. And I believe God will judge us with that in mind. I'm guessing here, but I'd venture to say that even Camping was sincere in his predictions, and that he was not intentionally misleading people down that path for financial gain. And unless he is truly evil, he is also a Christian, albeit a misguided one. (For his own sake, I sure hope that's his problem.)Which of us has not been misguided at one point or another? I don't know the man's heart. I never heard of him until last week. But I do know that his predictions did get some people to start thinking about their relationship with God again, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING. I'm sure there were a lot of bibles that got dusted off this week and suddenly Daniel and Revelation and Matthew saw the light of day for the first time in a long time. Right? I think it's a net gain, although my heart goes out to the poor people who sold their homes and gave away their savings, not to mention that poor Russian girl. But God knows here heart too.
Are you aware of this audio message directed towards Pope Benedict that's come onine recently?
I thought this part was particularly umm.. shall we say "intriguing", where the person says:
In closing, Pope Benedict, you have a choice. You can release the secret archives and documents hidden in the subterranean vaults to the people and listen to their anger, or you can ignore my prophecy and die exactly as prophesized in the real 3rd Secret of Fatima. The choice is now yours.
You can listen to the full audio here:
On Mr. Campings Family radio today the host introduced a program
"Ima glad to see so many Family Radio listners here."
Camping continues to make errors that cost people their lives. I point to a 14 year old girl in Russia who killed herself before the "rapture" was supposed to happen.
NYPD took a man off a bridge in time before he jumped to his death. Thank God they acted quickly to save him…
In short, false prophets in the old days were stoned to death. That's not going to happen now obviously but Camping needs to retire and leave the business of management to God himself.
If Camping is plagiarizing the Jehovah's Witnesses, it's not the first time he's done it. For a while now he's denied the existence of hell and eternal punishment, teaching annihilationism instead.
Oct 21st will come with less fanfare since the signs that say "the bible guarantees it" can't be used anymore. So the press and pop culture icons will mostly ignore it.
Camping will make his forth prediction when october 21st comes/goes most likely, and no one will really care. Probably a fifth if he's still alive
It amazes me that people get so caught up in end-of-the-world predictions. First of all, we have Jesus saying no one knows but the Father - or isn't Jesus a credible witness? There's an old hymn - "He's Got the Whole World in His Hand." We are all in the hand of God and if we are believers we know He'll take care of us. As for unbelievers' that's up to God. We should take care of the business we're assigned today (Matthew 25:34-40).
By the way, using the clown from "It" is mean.
Yup, a spiritual judgement. Just like communion, baptism, the church, and everything else in modern day protestantism. Sad really.
Surely that logic would allow for narrowing the day down? You've just posited that He will return on a day in the set of "Days No One Has Guessed".
I thought of this one, and I like it, but there is a language issue. It says "no one knows…" It doesn't say "no one can possibly randomly guess correctly."
So you can not twist God's arm into delaying His coming by predicting it daily.
What's with the clown from Stephen King's "IT"? That's a bit much, don't you think?
I grew up a Seventh-day Adventist and wrote a book that included the horror story of the 1844 Great Disappointment. (My website has scans of original newspaper clippings that chronicle the murders, suicides and mayhem that followed. email@example.com.) The denomination I grew up in was a direct descendant of the Millerite Movement and I have watched the Camping debacle with enormous pity and worry. I am so glad that there was no tragic fallout. Thank God even though in many ways this has turned out to be history repeating itself, that we are not seeing famine and frozen children who were abandon when Christ did not come.
The world has been here for about 6000 or so years and it will be here until the end of time and so I don't worry too much about end-of-the-world profits because a fool and his money are soon parted.
But, of course, Jesus did know the day the world would end but trying to explain to a protestant that Jesus was not ignorant would take us right up to the day the world ends.
If protestants want to think He was ignorant, they have free will to do so; even though their progenitors denied Free Will.
I have a small issue with the idea:
"The mere fact that it was dated leads me to conclude that it is wrong, for the Word of God said that NO one knows the day or the hour. Period."
If this is really, literally true, I could post on a blog (each and every day) that "the Lord will return tomorrow - absolutely, for sure, no doubt about it" - thus making it impossible for it to happen. Somehow, that doesn't make any sense to me.
By "almost no chance" I presume he means that given 2000 years where the end of the world hasn't happened, and (as you point out) absolutely no idea of how many many years may be remaining, the probability of the end of the world occurring on any given day is likely very low.
That being said, the best summary I've heard of the Catholic position of the end of the world is that "We're closer now than ever before."
What a crazy guy! Did anyone see the article about Jesus and Camping?
I'm pretty sure Jimmy was merely accepting exactly what you've said but from the opposite side of the coin. It very well could happen that day, we simply don't know. We should always be waiting "with joyful hope for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ"
What do you mean by "almost" no chance of the end of the world happening on 10/21/11? The mere fact that it was dated leads me to conclude that it is wrong, for the Word of God said that NO one knows the day or the hour. Period.
Harold Camping sounds like he plagiarized Jehovah's Witnesses
Jehovah Witnesses are a spin-off of the second Adventist which all came from the Millerite movement.American war of 1812 army captain William Miller is ground zero for Jehovah's Witnesses.
Yes,the "great disappointment" of Oct 22 1844 has never died out… it lives on in the Jehovah's Witnesses.
The central CORE doctrine of the Watchtower,yes the reason the Watchtower came into existence was to declare Jesus second coming in 1914.When the prophecy (derived from William Miller of 1842) failed they said that he came "invisibly".

All voice actors should be reading aloud for 15 minutes daily for practice anyway, so if you're not doing this already with your kids, you really need to make the time to do it. It also happens to be a great way to test out and practice dialects and characters; your kids are usually more forgiving than the reviewers on Audible and Amazon.
If your grandchildren, nieces or nephews live far away, there's no reason why you can't Skype-read to them...or spend 15 minutes daily recording a book that you can send them when it's completed.
And if you don't have kids in your life, your local library or school would probably love to have a professional voice actor come in and read to students. Here are tips from the SAG Foundations BookPals for reading aloud: http://bookpals.net/ten-tips-for-reading-aloud/
...and they all lived happily ever after!
This is so important. It isn't just important for mothers to read aloud. It is very important that fathers take a turn too.
We know this, but it bears repeating, and repeating and repeating!!!!

Architect appointed for Walsh Bay Arts Precinct
An award-winning architectural firm that has worked on the refurbishment of Customs House and Carriageworks has been selected to design Sydney's vibrant new $139 million Walsh Bay Arts Precinct.
Deputy Premier and Minister for the Arts Troy Grant announced Sydney architectural firm Tonkin Zulaikha Greer will lead the design for the new precinct, which obtained concept approval in May last year.
"Selection of the lead architect is a milestone in Walsh Bay's rejuvenation for the enjoyment and entertainment of people from Sydney, across NSW, and international visitors," Mr Grant said.
"The Walsh Bay Arts Precinct will be a vibrant cultural hub that will accommodate arts festivals and events, and we want its design to make best use of its unique waterfront and heritage setting.
"Tonkin Zulaikha Greer will coordinate design across the precinct which will have new and refurbished performance and rehearsal spaces, offices, workshops, food and retail outlets including restaurants and bars, and a new public square."
Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Director Peter Tonkin said the firm is excited to be involved with the spectrum of arts organisations in Walsh Bay and to be working to create a landmark waterfront collection of creative activity.
"Just as the Opera House had a profound impact on the fabric of Australian arts and culture when it opened in 1973, we expect Walsh Bay to become a distinctive and accessible public celebration of the arts in Sydney and NSW," Mr Tonkin said.
The architect was chosen through a select tender process and will work with resident Walsh Bay arts companies to deliver spaces that will support world-class productions and memorable experiences.
The Australian Chamber Orchestra, Bangarra Dance Theatre, Australian Theatre for Young People, Bell Shakespeare, Sydney Dance Company and Sydney Philharmonia and Gondwana Choirs have made long-term commitments to the redeveloped Walsh Bay Arts Precinct. All companies will work together to activate the precinct, alongside the Sydney Theatre Company.
The NSW Government has set aside $139 million for Walsh Bay's renewal. A detailed State Significant Development Application is expected to be lodged by the end of this year and if it is approved, construction is expected to begin in 2017. Further details are available at http://www.create.nsw.gov.au/about-us/our-work/completion-of-the-walsh-bay-arts-precinct/

Windows 7 Pro X64 SP1
If you require or want absolutely everything Windows 7 has to offer, go with Windows 7 Ultimate.
If you are a professional, power user, enthusiast, or basically do more stuff than just browse Facebook and Youtube on your computer, and don't require or want Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 7 Professional might suit you better than Windows 7 Home Premium.
If you are just a casual computer user or otherwise don't intend on using your computer for anything other than very simple everyday tasks like Facebook, Youtube, and emails, Windows 7 Home Premium will be just fine.
As for me personally, I use Windows 7 Ultimate on my desktop and Windows 7 Professional on my laptop because I wanted everything Windows 7 had to offer for my desktop and Windows 7 Home Premium was too limited for me.
More than 16GB of RAM (with X64)? Two physical CPU sockets? Join a domain? Bitlocker? Language packs?
If memory serves, Pro doesn't support Bitlocker or the language packs.
There is supposed to be no performance difference between the three versions, for hardware configurations that are supported by all three. (16GB of RAM or less, usually. Few home users have dual CPU sockets.)
|My System Specs
|10 Mar 2013
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
From Ultimate: Japanese language pack, BitLocker.
From Professional: 16GB+ RAM, better system management, better networking management, XP Mode.
Besides XP Mode, which I'm utilizing in two copies (ENG and JPN XP Mode VMs in VirtualBox), and stuff related to managing the computer and any associated networks, all of the rest are options that I wanted available to me but not necessarily stuff I need right now. I've always went for the biggest thing there is when dealing with tiered products (unless the biggest was simply ludicrous), and besides the initial up front cost I haven't gone wrong.
Of course, this isn't an option for everyone, so I do strongly advise everyone looking to buy Windows 7 to properly do their research before investing their money!

Security worries prompt hospital inspection
The Industrial Relations Commission will hold an on-site inspection at Maitland Hospital later this month to help resolve a dispute over security staffing levels.
The Health Services Union and Health Support Services have been unable to come to an agreement about how many security guards should be on stand-by should an incident occur.
The union wants at least two guards deployed when a patient in the emergency department turns violent.
Union spokesman Bob Hull says the commissioner will be shown how long it can take for a security guard to respond to an incident.
"We believe the response times throughout the hospital could mean that someone is severely injured before assistance can arrive," he said.
"So one of the things that we'll be showing the commissioner is the diversity of the environment out there and the security qualified people could be working anywhere within that hospital when they're called to one of these emergencies."
Mr Hull says talks are continuing with an agreement yet to be reached.
"There is no agreement reached at this stage," he said.
"But with the assistance of the commission we will be holding further discussions under the auspice of the commission and hopeful they will lead to a resolution of this matter."

Am I the only one who thinks that the residents of Linn County voting for a tax increase to help pay for the rebuilding effort after last year's flood is a clear indication that their government has failed them? I'm sure that some people will argue with me and say that there was no serious opposition to local option sales tax initiative, but I don't think the people really had an option. They need to rebuild their city.
I think it's ridiculous that there wasn't a Special Legislative Session last summer.
I think it's embarrassing that more federal money wasn't available for our flood victims.
I can't believe it took weeks after the legislative session began for state funds to finally be allocated.
The good people of Linn County did what most Iowans do when times get tough, they get it done themselves. I have not had time to research this, but did the people of New Orleans need to pass tax increases to rebuild their city after Hurricane Katrina? I don't think so.
Matt Straw hits the phones!
Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Matt Strawn sent out an auto call last night. He was asking Republicans to make the box on their Iowa tax returns that gives the State Party $1.50. Marking the box doesn't mean you pay more in taxes, it means the state get's less!
Krusty Kudos to Strawn, he gets it.
Speaking of Strawn…
Dude holds a press conference at the State Capitol on the idiotic Electoral College bill and the next thing you know both the Secretary of State and the Governor come out against the proposal. It's about time we put this stupid issue behind us. We have more important things to deal with. I wonder if I can talk Matt into going to the capitol for a press conference on the Gas Tax?

[Spoiler alert for the Season finale of Game of Thrones. If you haven't watched it yet, go take care of that before reading this post.]
So "The Winds of Winter" has finally come out — no, not the book I'm afraid — but the Season finale of Game of Thrones and it, as usual, connected the dots beautifully. The episode also did a great job in giving us things to look forward to in the upcoming seasons — you can check the best moments of tonight in this post. We're here to talk about that much anticipated scene: the Tower of Joy flashback, which would shed some light on our beloved Jon Snow's parentage. Game of Thrones definitely delivered it, but (as always) with a twist.
Let's have a look at that scene, shall we?
Picking up exactly where he had paused before in a previous episode — with Lyanna Stark's screams — Bran follows his father into the Tower of Joy. Ned finds his sister covered in blood (not much like a "bed of blood" though) and they share a brief loving moment between brother and sister.
Then, she whispers something to Ned (that we were not privy to) and tells her brother Ned Stark:
And boom! A baby is brought to Ned, who looks deep into the child's eyes while his sister is demanding that he promise to protect it. Bran looks knowingly at all this, and the scene cuts to Winterfell, and straight into Jon Snow's eyes.
This is where things get even more interesting for those of us who like to pick apart the details. Jon looks as if he's waking up from a dream — or a vision — and takes a few seconds to regain himself and interact with the other people in the room. It's as if Jon shared that vision with Bran and, through him, found out the truth about his mother being Lyanna Stark and maybe realized that his father could only be Rhaegar Targaryen. The Starks all know the story, after all.
But Could This Even Be Possible?
Though we haven't seen Jon doing any warging of his own in the show, in George R.R. Martin's books he actually does it quite a lot. All the Stark children have the power to transfer their consciousnesses into other living beings, just like Bran did with Hodor and Summer in the show. As a matter of fact, just before Jon takes his last breath in A Dance with Dragons — the last book published to date — he actually calls out to his direwolf, Ghost. This has led many fans to contemplate the possibility that Jon might warg into Ghost to survive in the books.
In the show, only Bran has been warging for some time now. His warging has much more importance, since he's recently become the Three-Eyed Raven, but it would be absolutely possible for the other Starks to have the same power or even share a connection with Bran. After all, he did see Jon and other members of his family through the matrix, and those visions have proven to be both flashbacks as well as flashforwards of the events in the finale.
What Does It Matter If Jon Knows? Tell Everyone!
Well, in time it will be common knowledge, I suppose. For now, it'd be a huge deal for Jon if he did actually share that vision with Bran. To put it simply: Jon has never been a confident guy or the leader type, and throughout his life the bastard stigma followed him like a shadow. Jon Snow has always inspired other people to follow him (like he did in this episode yet again) but he isn't one to believe in himself.
The knowledge that he isn't a bastard after all would go great lengths to change that. Plus, the fact his mother's last words were out of love for him and that his uncle/father Ned Stark loved him enough to take his secret to the grave, might give Jon the necessary spark to ignite the Targaryen in him.
In the event that the editing was nothing but a treat for us fans, we can at least relax now that Bran's found out. No doubt he'll come around to sharing Jon's parentage news soon enough and the world will be better for it. Bran is going south to the Wall and he will probably cross it next season, so there'll be plenty of opportunities for him, as heir to Winterfell, to officially acknowledge Jon as a true Stark, further supporting Jon as King in the North.
Do you think that the editing signals to something more? Or do you think it's all just a coincidence? Take to the comments and let me know!

I was thinking about writing today, and for the first time in my life, I longed for winter — the long, dark quiet of the night. All sounds are muffled, there is no smell but cold, and you can be utterly alone in a wide, wide world.
The summer night is full of sound, crickets chirping, locusts buzzing, traffic flying by even in the small hours. There are the smells of plants and dirt and barbecue and rainstorms. But in the winter night comes early, and with it the eerie silence made by a blanket of snow. Summer is all around you, there are living things everywhere, but in winter, you can look out upon the darkness and feel the world collapse in upon yourself. It is both lonely and freeing. I love the silence and the darkness, being alone with my thoughts that way. I have to answer to no one but the questions and doubts in my own mind. I can have endless conversations with myself, working out my desires and conflicts and the meanings the universe holds within me. It is a time of creation.
That seems odd, that winter should create. Fall heralds the oncoming onslaught of darkness and cold in which I can create within, while without it signals the destruction of the life of summer. Spring melts away the aloneness and freedom of winter and brings out summer's stifling closeness. This, then, is finally the reason to love the winter, to always look to the north, to orient life toward the snows that are coming. Summer is easy to love, and it gives its love easily away, but winter is less kind and accommodating. You can love it on its own terms, for what it has to give, but its love is not the warm love of summer, and no fires and Christmas carols can make it anything but what it is. Winter is the state of suspension in which the soul is free to seek itself.

Woodworking: Perfectly flush screw plugs
This tutorial shows how I achieve a glassy-smooth finish over my screw plugs without sanding.
I'm not a fan of sanding. The harmful health consequences of sanding have inspired me to try to eliminate all sanding from my woodworking. It's been a chore and I've had to change some of my beliefs over the years. But it's been worth it. It's kind of a funny enlightenment. Trying to move past sandpaper, I've found myself going backward through history. I've found that our forefathers and mothers didn't sand much at all. If I step back in time, before the modern sandpaper era, I find myself in the world of hand planes and cabinet scrapers—no sandpaper.
These tools take a while to get used to but they produce a smoother surface than sandpaper without so much dust. They still produce some dust. But my workshop if mostly filled with shavings, chips, and ribbons of wood. I prefer these because they don't fit into my lungs.
Here's a tutorial showing how I create a smooth finish over a screw hole plug. I hope you find it helpful.
Here's the screw plugs after they've dried. There's about an eight inch left.
First I saw the plugs almost completely off. To protect my work I lay an old thin saw blade over the area to be sawed.
Then I lay my saw on top of that old blade and saw the plug.
This leaves about 1/64th of an inch left.
With a sharp chisel I shave off the remaining plug. I wriggle the chisel blade from side-to-side and slowly push the blade though. Notice I'm cutting diagonal to the plug's grain. This helps reduce tear out.
Keep shaving a little away at a time until you're flush with the wood around the plug.
Once it's level I like to gently shave back and forth over the plug to fine tune it and give it a glassy finish. Try to keep your chisel blade as flat as possible. This smoothing step is like using your chisel like a very low angle smoothing plane.
That's it. This is what my final plugs look like. They are ready for finish—without sanding.
I hope you found this tutorial helpful.
Here's a video of the same tutorial on my YouTube channel

thanks for asking david, i like a lot of things. right now i am interested that they are using 'the the's' song - you know, this is the day jingle, in a tv commercial. thought most forgot about that band and bingo bango, there it is on the television... i dont know, probably selling insurance or some shit, but who cares... it is a great song and i like to hear it being used rather than dying. now i know some would disagree with that assessment... you know, the whole commercial exploitation, but shit - if a song is going to die, should it not have one last chance to grab someone who has not heard it and let them ask themself... who is that singing that song? just my ramble... and 'this is the day, your life will surely change.... this is the day when things fall into place. check out THE THE and see if you get hooked.
What other music do you like?

LUFKIN (KYTX) - East Texas firefighters are warning people to be careful after lightning struck an East Texas mother of 3, killing her. 32-year-old Meshell Foxworth died Tuesday night.
Foxworth works at the I-HOP on Medford Drive in Lufkin. She left the building at about 10:30 Tuesday night to grab something from her car. While she was in the parking lot during the storm, lightning hit her umbrella and went through her.
Firefighters say umbrellas are conductors because of the metal rods, and if it's storming the way it was Tuesday, the best thing to do is stay inside.
Foxworth's coworkers tell CBS 19 they just can't believe she's gone. They say she was a happy enthusiastic person who always had a good attitude and was fun to be around.
Her coworkers say she leaves behind 3 children.

Sorry, had to give it the thumbs down due to her excessive noise. She does have a lovely ass but he never went in more than an inch.
With all the ass licking Mike Adriano does, I'd be surprised if he doesn't have hepatitis.

"Whether they're filling in a few gaps or doing a complete beard construction, New York City doctors who specialize in the procedure said they're seeing a growing number of men paying as much as $7,000 to pump up their beards," wrote Serena Solomon, who first reported on the trend on the neighborhood news site DNAinfo New York.
But fear not, face-bald hipster men — you don't have to live in the Big Apple to be able to sport a big beard.
In Portland, Oregon — host of the 2014 World Beard and Moustache Championship — Dr. Steven Gabel can help you get the right mustache to savor sips of craft beer and artisan coffee.
"In the Northwest here, there are a lot of men with facial hair, and they like to show it," he said.
Gabel says his business in facial hair transplants has increased a lot over the years. People he performs transplants on usually have a beard already, he says, but have patches and want it filled out.
That's not always the case, though.
"I saw a guy yesterday who really had no hair on his face. I did the first transplant on him about a year ago, and it is looking good," Gabel said.
"It is a very meticulous procedure," Gabel explained. The doctor and his technicians remove hair strands with the follicles intact from another part of the body — usually the bottom of the back of the head. It's moved to where it is wanted on the face. Then the doctor makes a small hole in the face with a 0.8-mm blade and inserts each hair into place.
"The hard part is the angle," Gabel said. "You have to go with the natural angle. You don't want to put it in sticking straight out."

in short
The exhibition tells the story of Finns who moved to uninhabited forests regions in Sweden and Norway in the late 1500s and 1600s to practice slash-and-burn farming. They maintained their unique culture and their own language amongst the native population for a long time. Later on, they melded into the main population.

Singapore, Oct 8: Morgan Stanley plans to launch private wealth management services in India next year, its first onshore wealth business in Asia, and expects to hire around 100 private bankers, an executive said on Monday.
''That will be our first buildout on an onshore private wealth business in Asia,'' said Leslie Menkes, a Singapore-based managing director for the Wall Street bank's private wealth management arm, while speaking at the Reuters Wealth Management Summit.
The bank expected it would be managing around $1 billion in private banking assets in India at the end of three years, he said.
Morgan would be competing against Citigroup and Merrill Lynch as the three U.S. banks aggressively try to tap India's fast-growing private banking market. India had 100,000 millionaires in 2006, up 21 percent from a year earlier, according to a Merril Lynch/Capgemini report.
Merrill said in March it plans to expand to cover at least 10 Indian cities in the next three years, from five cities now.
A senior Citigroup executive told Reuters in February that the bank plans to double the number of bankers dealing with wealthy non-resident and resident Indians from about 100, by the end of 2008.
Citi's Smith Barney broking unit, which handles clients with assets of at least $1 million, plans to grow from one office now to a presence in 12 Indian cities.
Menkes said Morgan Stanley's focus in India would be mainly on the rupee-based business targeting wealthy clients who have $5 million in assets or 40 percent of India's 100,000 millionaires. Internationally it targets clients who have $25 million in assets.
''We will open for business in the middle of next year. We will certainly open in Mumbai, Delhi and Calcutta and probably in Bangalore,'' he said, adding by the end of 2010 it wants to be in eight locations in India.
Menkes said the bank already has hired four senior executives from Merrill Lynch to setup the private banking business.
He said that the Indian onshore operation would be followed by the launch of a similar business in China.
Menkes, who is head of the private banking unit that covers Southeast Asia, Australia/New Zealand and India, said that its Asian private wealth business has seen over 50 percent growth this year, led by China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
He said that the bank's Asian private banking assets were expected to grow by about 50 percent this year from around $25 billion at the end of 2006.
''New client assets would make up the majority of the growth.''

Facebook wants to connect the world.
That's why it formed Internet.org, which offered free access to (parts of) the internet in the developing world — including its "Free Basics" data system, which the Indian government just shut down.
And it's why the social networking giant is now launching the "Telecom Infra Project" (TIP). It's an ambitious new scheme to redesign telecoms infrastructure.
Traditional infrastructure is having to deal with unprecedented traffic — more video is being streamed than ever before, as ever-more people get online. Virtual reality media — an area in which Facebook is investing heavily — will only exacerbate the load in years to come.
"Every day, more people and more devices around the world are coming online, and it's becoming easier to share data-intensive experiences like video and virtual reality," Jay Parikh, Facebook's global head of engineering and infrastructure wrote in a blog post. "Scaling traditional telecom infrastructure to meet this global data challenge is not moving as fast as people need it to."
Facebook has previously had success with the Open Compute Project, an ongoing effort to open-source data centres. TIP will work in a similar fashion in that it will open up plans for network infrastructure. It's teaming up with companies like Intel and Nokia to work on this.

Riley and Matilda Perkins
Riley Perkins and Matilda Monger were married in Missouri; but by 1898 they were in Wisconsin. They are found in the 1900 Census at Willow in Richland county, Wisconsin. Riley born Jan. 1853 in Rhode Island and Matilda born May 1867 in Texas. By 1920 the family was living at Hawkins in Rusk county and by the 1930 census Matilda was 68 and a widow living with children James Perkins aged 27 and Gladys aged 23. The other children that I know of were Albert, Arthur, Cora all born in Missouri between 1885 and 1890, May Perkins born Kansas 1895 and ClarencePerkins born 1898 Wisconsin.
I feel fairly certain that Riley died in Rusk county between 1920 and 1930 and feel that both of them are probably buried in or around Hawkins. I am in hopes that someone can help me find their grave markers and perhaps even an obituary for them or that someone would know of family members still living.
Any help would be gratefully accepted.

Roderick Hudson is one of Henry James's first novels. Originally published in 1875 as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly, it traces the development of the title character, a sculptor. Funded by the wealthy Rowland Mallet, Roderick Hudson travels from America to Rome, where he becomes the talk of the city. He soon finds that Europe tests him in ways he had not anticipated, both as an artist and as a man. American-born English author Henry James (1843- 1916) was one of the founders and leaders of realism in fiction and is considered to be one of the great British novelists.

Great starting point for Henry James
If you have had trouble navigating the winding sentences of Henry James, try this, his first novel. It's normal! An excellent character study of the most rational of men and the most passionate, and the three women who loved one of them.
After Roderick, try some other Henry James audiobooks. He is most understandable read aloud, in my experience.
- Laurel
endless, infinite author's preface
I was never able to listen to the story. An hour in, I was still hearing only James' excruciatingly dull author's preface. Fast forwarding, I was never able to find where the preface ended and the story began. If I were a James scholar, I'm sure I'd find this preface useful; as a regular reader, I couldn't bear it. This book was a terrible waste of money.
Cut the preface. Or provide some kind of marker that would help listeners skip it and get right to the story.
