6599 A.D.: The war between the Earth Federation and the Herculean Empire had been over for more than three centuries. The planet in the Hercules Globular Cluster was a cinder; the few descendents of the surviving Herculeans lived on Myraa's World, half a galaxy away, in what seemed to be a religious commune. But on an unnamed planet, deep within the Hercules Cluster, two survivors, father and son, gather their resources and plan to enforce a reign of terror over the Federation worlds. But the woman Myraa has a different vision - one which excludes empires and warring armies. Subtly, she strives to shape events toward a different end.
Rising to one of the most unusual climaxes in recent fantastic literature, this novel of chase and vengeance depicts a colorful, poetic future which is struggling to overcome its past. Filled with striking twists and vivid ideas, this is space opera at its most modern.

I had forgotten how bad this is
Just finished Glen Cook's The Dragon Never Sleeps (GREAT BOOK!), about to start Ann Leckie's Ancillary Mercy.
"Better than deserves."
Can't think of many I'd keep.
I generally try to avoid bad reviews, except in those cases where it's SO bad I wish someone had warned me off.
This is one of those times.
The book only really has one interesting plot-related idea, that the Terrans would really rather capture and rehabilitate the terrorist main character, rather than kill him. Of course, this horribly backfires through a series of increasingly weird and arbitrary deus ex machina moments.
There's some interesting tech ideas, which I remembered, any which continue to be somewhat nifty. The story, though, is a waste of time, and the cool stuff isn't enough to make it worth it.

News Update 12 October 2009 - News in Brief
Our weekly news roundup from around the aerospace industry
As aviation stakeholders around the world accelerate the deployment of environmentally friendly Performance-based Navigation (PBN), they'll need to work together with communities around airports to deploy new flight paths that work best for everyone. On Friday, more than 200 aviation stakeholders at the Naverus Performance-based Navigation Summit in Seattle, heard that PBN technology is being adopted rapidly around the world and that it has profound implications for the way air traffic is managed. "This is a unique time," said Dan Elwell, vice president of civil aviation for the Aerospace Industries Association. Elwell advised aircraft operators and air traffic managers to engage communities early on in discussions as they design new PBN flight paths. During the course of the Summit, attendees heard how advanced PBN provides new flexibility to design quieter, cleaner, more fuel efficient flight paths. As part of implementing those paths, important decisions must be made about how to route traffic in ways that balance noise reduction, emissions savings and fuel efficiency.
A credit crisis and the resulting slowdown in the world economy has exacerbated the turbine engine industry�fs normal downcycle. The exuberance of the three-year period prior to the fourth quarter of 2008 saw annual aircraft sales growing at an unsustainable pace, eclipsing that of the previous year, three years running. With signs of economic recovery only recently on the horizon, Forecast International expects the turbine engine market to remain essentially stagnant through 2012, and then rebound in 2013. In total, the world turbofan engine market is projected to generate $292 billion in revenue during the 2009-2018 period through the production of 66,273 engines. The good news for large engine manufacturers is that even with deferrals and cancellations, Airbus and Boeing each have an order backlog of several thousand aircraft, which translates into years of engine production for all of the big turbofan builders. Pratt & Whitney and CFM International are working on new engine designs for the next generation of narrowbody aircraft, and will have their new technology ready when the airframers begin work on the new jets. General Electric and Rolls-Royce are equally busy with the GEnx and Trent product lines for new and future applications. The business aircraft segment has been hit with a double whammy between the credit freeze and the negative publicity of executive use of company business jets. The credit issue will work itself out over time, but the public's negative perception of private jets has caused many orders to be deferred or canceled outright. Several business aircraft programs, both in-production and developmental, have fallen victim to the tough economic climate. In spite of this, the industry is developing new aircraft designs in anticipation of the market's reversal. Pratt & Whitney Canada, Rolls-Royce, Honeywell and Williams are all involved in engine development programs to power these new jets.
The U.S. Air Force has awarded Northrop Grumman a $153 million contract to provide LITENING G4 targeting and sensor systems and related equipment. Under the terms of the agreement, Northrop Grumman will deliver LITENING G4 targeting and sensor pods to the active U.S. Air Force as well as kits for the Air Force Reserve Command and Air National Guard to enable the upgrade of existing LITENING AT pods to the G4 configuration. The contract also includes the supply of additional data links for the Air National Guard and active U.S. Air Force. LITENING Gen 4 is a self-contained, multi-sensor laser target-designating, surveillance and navigation system. The pods are also equipped with "plug-and-play" technology that enables them to accept a variety of data links without further modifications to the pod or aircraft.
Stork Fokker has signed an important contract in relation to the Ariane 5 program. Dutch Space (part of the European EADS Astrium consortium) has again selected the company to produce engine frames for at least 35 Ariane 5 launchers. The contract represents a turnover value of at least 30 million euro, spread over the period from 2009 to 2014. This order brings the total number of engine frames to be produced to 70, because Stork Fokker also produces the frames for the first and second stages of the rocket. Around 50 Stork Fokker employees are involved in this aerospace project. The contract between Dutch Space and Stork Fokker was officially signed in the Werkspoor Museum in Amsterdam on 30 September. An engine frame is the structure on which the rocket engine and all the associated equipment is mounted, and which transmits the engine's thrust to the rest of the launch vehicle. The structure is subject to severe structural, thermal and acoustic loads, but must still be made as light as possible. It is a complex conical structure made of high-grade aluminium. The engine frame for the first stage has a diameter of 5.5 meters and a height of 3.5 meters, and weighs more than 1,500 kg. Each frame consists of some 2000 components which are assembled at Stork Fokker in Hoogeveen.
The U.S. Air Force (USAF) has awarded a team that includes MTU Maintenance a nine-year contract to provide Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) for its fleet of KC-10 Extender refueling tanker aircraft. MTU will provide engine depot maintenance, engineering, field service support and engine condition monitoring for the fleet of 204 CF6-50C2 engines flown by the USAF. Over the life of the agreement, MTU expects the deal to generate sales in the amount of more than 300 million euros ($500 million). MTU will primarily perform the work in support of prime contractor Northrop Grumman at its Canadian facility in Richmond, BC. Weingartner: �gThis contract is a strong message of support for the expertise and quality of work of MTU Maintenance Canada. It represents an excellent opportunity to illustrate to the USAF that MTU Maintenance is an industry leader in supporting airlines, military and governmental operations�h.
Boeing announced it is joining with Honeywell's UOP to commission a study on the sustainability of a leading family of saltwater-based plant candidates for renewable jet fuel. The study is being commissioned as part of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Users Group (www.safug.org) consortium. The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi will lead the study, which will examine the overall potential for sustainable, large-scale production of biofuels made from salicornia bigelovii and saltwater mangroves - plants known as halophytes. Yale University's School of Forestry & Environmental Studies and UOP will also participate in the analysis, which will include an assessment of the total carbon lifecycle of biofuels. Halophytes can be highly productive sources of biomass energy, thrive in arid land and can be irrigated with sea water, making them suitable for biofuel development and Abu Dhabi a viable location for conducting a lifecycle-analysis study. With improved plant science and agronomy, early testing results indicate that halophytes have the potential to deliver very high yields per unit of land. "Boeing and the scientific and academic communities are stepping forward to look at the totality of each renewable fuel source that can help us reduce carbon emissions," said Billy Glover, managing director of Environmental Strategy for Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "By working with Masdar Institute to look at these species in a formal research framework, we will better know if certain types of halophytes meet the carbon reduction and socioeconomic criteria that will allow them to become part of a portfolio of sustainable biofuel solutions for aviation."
During the official visit of the French President to Kazakhstan, EADS and Eurocopter signed a cooperation agreement with the sovereign wealth fund SAMRUK-KAZYNA to create a public-private joint venture in Kazakhstan in order to develop helicopter activities. The project, which includes both European and Kazakh partners, was launched as part of the strategic partnership agreement signed between France and Kazakhstan. The purpose of the joint venture is to transfer skills and know-how to local partners in order to develop a fully integrated and independent helicopter service industry in Kazakhstan. The new agreement demonstrates Eurocopter's long-term commitment to the Kazakh government and its people, and also reflects the strategic position of the country in Central Asia and its potential for economic growth. Nearly every product in the Eurocopter range is already present in Kazakhstan in the public and private sectors and in the oil & gas industry. An agreement was also signed with a local operator to open the first maintenance center in Kazakhstan.
MBDA Incorporated announced the successful demonstration of a Semi-Active Laser Guided Zuni rocket against a moving target at the Navy�fs test facilities at China Lake, CA. This firing comes after a successful shot against a static target in May of this year. The WGU-58/B Guidance and Control System developed in cooperation with the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) provides the Zuni weapon precision accuracy. Jim Pennock, Vice President of Guided Rocket Sector Business Development at MBDA Incorporated said �gThe WGU-58/B Guidance and Control system gives fixed wing aviators the ability to rapidly and accurately engage a moving target in close proximity to friendly forces. We are confident in the system�fs ability to precisely engage moving targets and we demonstrated it today.�h
Raytheon and Boeing completed a series of captive carry flight tests of a form-factored tri-mode seeker for the Joint Air-to-Ground Missile competition. "The test series demonstrated that Raytheon's form-factored tri-mode seeker and guidance electronics units are ready to enter prototype missile builds in preparation for guided missile firings early next year," said Bob Francois, Raytheon's vice president of Advanced Missiles and Unmanned Systems. "The Raytheon-Boeing JAGM system will give warfighters a capability they have asked for and do not have. JAGM is an affordable, all-weather weapon capable of defeating a variety of targets from fixed- and rotary-wing platforms." JAGM will reduce the U.S. military's logistics footprint by replacing three legacy missiles currently in the U.S. Army's, Navy's and Marine Corps' inventories.

Boeing and Russian aerospace company RSC-Energia signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in Moscow on Oct. 2 to work together on a future common docking system for advanced space exploration vehicles. The two companies will complement each other's extensive knowledge in International Space Station (ISS) design, assembly and operation to produce an international standard for docking mechanisms. "Future space exploration will provide opportunities for more international collaboration," said former astronaut Brewster Shaw, vice president and general manager of Boeing's Space Exploration division. "As the commercial space market matures, there will be a need for an international standard for docking on orbit. The Boeing Company and Energia will draw on proven experience to provide an innovative docking solution for future space exploration." The agreement outlines collaboration between the two companies to produce a mechanism based on Energia's existing Androgynous Peripheral Docking System (APDS). Designed and built by Energia in Russia, APDS is a proven system that has connected every space shuttle mission to the ISS for more than a decade.
Boeing delivered a third C-17 Globemaster III to the NATO Airlift Management Organization (NAMO) in support of NAMO's 12-nation Strategic Airlift Capability (SAC) initiative. The delivery, which took place at Boeing's final assembly facility in Long Beach, completes SAC's first fleet of the advanced airlifters. Assigned to SAC's Heavy Airlift Wing (HAW) at P?pa Air Base in western Hungary, SAC 03 will support International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) operations in Afghanistan as well as the airlift requirements of SAC member nations.
The GE38 turboshaft engine recently exceeded required power for the CH-53K heavy-lift helicopter that Sikorsky Aircraft is developing for the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC), reaching 7,300 shaft-horsepower and establishing a shaft-horsepower record for the GE-Lynn facility. "The GE38 continues to meet or exceed customer expectations as the first engine to test (FETT) reaches the midpoint of its test cycle," said Harry Nahatis, GE38 program manager. "In addition to reaching the significant shaft-horsepower milestone, the control system has operated well, and vibrations have stayed within predicted limits." The GE38 FETT, which is scheduled to complete testing this year, has accumulated data on more than 600 parameters, including pressures, temperature and vibrations. Testing following the FETT phase will focus on engine durability, altitude performance and environmental compatibility.
ATR and Libya's flag carrier Libyan Airlines signed a contract for the purchase of 2 ATR 42-500s, which will become the first ATR aircraft to be operated in the country. The deal, valued at some US $ 35 million, has been inked on the occasion of the LAVEX Air show, which is currently underway in Tripoli. The aircraft are configured with 48 seats, and are equipped with new PW 127M engines, while featuring the very latest technological innovations in the field of navigation aid tools and passenger comfort. The aircraft are to be delivered later this year.
Lockheed Martinrecently completed a successful test of a new infrared sensor turret aboard its Desert Hawk III Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS), marking the first time a small UAS has flown with a 360-degree infrared sensor. Battle-proven, the hand-launched Desert Hawk III has provided the British Army with critical Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The small UAS (54-inch wingspan) is specifically designed to operate at high altitudes, in high winds and extreme temperatures. Successful flight tests of the Desert Hawk III�fs new payload offering, held September 23- 24 at the Minnesota National Guard�fs Camp Ripley unmanned vehicle proving grounds, validate the UAS's ability to greatly improve nighttime ISR for ground forces. By providing 360-degree infrared coverage, troops obtain greater target location accuracy and superior image stability. Combined with an upgraded 360-degree color Electro Optic (E/O) sensor, operators gained 10 times continuous zoom capability, significantly aiding in contact identification.
The MQ-8B Fire Scout made naval aviation history when the fleet deployed this revolutionary rotary wing unmanned aircraft system aboard the USS McInerney (FFG-8) Monday. Fleet introduction of the Fire Scout marks the first time a large, automated UAS has been delivered for shipboard operation by sailors. The Fire Scout departed with the 4th Fleet to assist during a counter-narcotics trafficking deployment. The aircraft will provide unprecedented situational awareness as the fleet employs its Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance capabilities, said Capt. Tim Dunigan, Fire Scout program manager.
NASA begins a series of flights Oct. 15 to study changes to Antarctica's sea ice, glaciers and ice sheets. The flights are part of Operation Ice Bridge, a six-year campaign that is the largest airborne survey ever made of ice at Earth's polar regions. Researchers will work from NASA's DC-8, an airborne laboratory equipped with laser mapping instruments, ice-penetrating radar and gravity instruments. Data collected from the mission will help scientists better predict how changes to the massive Antarctic ice sheet will contribute to future sea level rise around the world. The plane, crew and scientists depart Oct. 12 from NASA's Dryden Aircraft Operations Facility in Palmdale, Calif., and fly to Punta Arenas, Chile, where they will be based through mid-November. Seelye Martin of the University of Washington in Seattle leads the mission, with nearly 50 scientists and support personnel involved. The team is planning 17 flights over some of the fastest-changing areas in western Antarctica and its ice-covered coastal waters.
The U.S. Air Force has selected Rockwell Collins for the Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) phase of the KC-135 Block 45 cockpit upgrade program.

The Northrop Grumman-developed MQ-8B Fire Scout Vertical Unmanned Aircraft System (VUAS) recently completed a flight under the command and control of a new company-developed STANAG 4586 compatible ground control station (GCS). The recent flight tests took place the week of Sept. 21 at Yuma Proving Ground (YPG). The flights demonstrated the functionality of the ground control station (GCS) that will be used for future capability demonstrations with the company-owned P7 Fire Scout VUAS. Flight activities will continue at YPG to prepare for the Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiment at Fort Benning, Ga.
Munich Airport has obviously put the brakes in the dip in traffic growth and is now on the road to recovery. The third quarter of this year showed a decline of just 3.6 percent, as compared with the 9 percent drop in total passengers seen in the first six months. The main factor behind this noticeable recovery is the strong demand for personal travel, which largely offset the decrease in the business travel sector. During the first nine months of 2009 a total of approximately 25 million travelers used Munich Airport. The number of take-offs and landings at Munich Airport was also down approximately 9 percent in the same period a year earlier to about 300,000 flights. The steeper decline in aircraft movements as compared with total passengers reflects the fact that the airlines have responded to the crisis by pooling their flights and reducing their total supply of seats. The use of larger aircraft and an improved load factor in August and September also resulted in a significant increase in the average number of passengers per flight.
Lufthansa traffic figures declined in the first nine months 2009 owing to the persistent global recession. Germany�fs biggest airline was consequently unable to match the level achieved in the comparable term in the previous year. The Lufthansa passenger count in the first three quarters of the current year were down by 3.9 per cent to 41.9 million. In the same period, capacity was scaled back by 1.9 per cent in line with the drop in demand. Revenue seat-kilometres fell by 3.8 per cent. The seat load factor was down accordingly by 1.5 points to 77.7 per cent. Passenger numbers dropped in all traffic regions with the exception of the MiddleEast/Africa. All in all, Lufthansa, SWISS, bmi and Austrian Airlines welcomed 55.4 million passengers on board their flights in the first nine months of the year. Of the total, about 10.3 million flew with SWISS, around 970,000 with Austrian Airlines and about 2.2 million with bmi. The Group's nine-month figures include passengers from Austrian Airlines only since September and those from bmi only since July. The number of flights operated by the Lufthansa Group rose to 636,199, an increase of 1.4 per cent. Lufthansa Cargo also posted a drop in freight tonnage transported and utilisation in the first nine months of the year. Overall, the Lufthansa logistics services subsidiary transported a total of 1.1 million tonnes of freight and mail, which is 15.2 per cent less than in the previous year. Capacity utilisation in the airfreight business fell to 61.7 per cent.
Insitu and Harris Corporation announced the successful demonstration of a Single-channel Ground and Airborne UHF/VHF Radio Relay System on the Integrator Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) during a Communications Relay Payload (CRP) test flight in Eastern Oregon. Harris Corporation is one of Insitu�fs team members for the small tactical unmanned aircraft system (STUAS)/Tier II competition. The Integrator UAS, outfitted with a relay based upon the field proven Harris Falcon III (AN/PRC-152) radios, enables mobile ground units to relay voice and data with an extensive end-to-end reach. Communications relay supported by an airborne asset is essential in situations where line of sight obstructions exist. The demonstration represents a culmination of development efforts spanning several years to provide the war fighter with ground communication capabilities.
A Delta II rocket successfully delivered DigitalGlobe's WorldView-2 commercial satellite into orbit after launching the spacecraft from Space Launch Complex-2 at 11:51 a.m. PDT here October 8. United Launch Alliance provided the launch services for this mission on behalf of Boeing Launch Services. Delta II rockets previously launched both the Quickbird-2 mission in October 2001 and the WorldView-1 mission in September 2007 for DigitalGlobe. After a nominal approximately one-hour flight, the WorldView-2 spacecraft was successfully deployed into its proper orbit. WorldView-2 was placed in a sun-synchronous orbit where the spacecraft will perform its mission of collecting high resolution commercial digital Earth imagery from space.
On August 7, 2009 the German Federal Office of Defense Technology and Procurement (BWB) signed the first contract for a retrofit of the new 4 panel glass cockpit on the Dornier 228 Control aircraft. The 4 panel glass cockpit configuration is based on the up-to-date digital avionics layout of the new Dornier 228 NG. This order initiates the modernization of the Dornier 228 Pollution Control fleet, which are operated by German Navy�fs MFG 3 �gGraf Zeppelin�h on behalf of the German Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Affairs to perform pollution control and surveillance missions within the German coastal areas. Furthermore the aircraft are integrated in a European network of coastal and sea surveillance activities. Instead of the old analog cockpit instrumentation, aircraft serial number 8214 will receive a 4 panel flight display suit to show the flight and navigation data as well as engine, systems and surveillance information. New digital navigation and communication systems replace the existing analog radios. In addition military navigation and communication systems, SAR capable weather radar, ACAS II, HF and V/UHF communication systems complete the new configuration.

What weight was the fabric? Would it be strong enough for a

The review below is old, but since the new owners took over there is a definite Japanese flare to the dishes and atmosphere. The food is fresh and tasteful. The service is a little slow, but you should go to enjoy yourselves, it is not fast food.
We have eaten in several times and were generally satisfied with the service and food quality. Based on this experience, we ordered carry out. Our entrees were Chefs Scallops and Kang Pao Chicken both were to be served with rice. Since the bag was stapled shut, I did not open the bag and upon opening the bag at home found no rice was provided. The Kang Pao Chicken had the texture of pork and not chicken. Will be looking for other Chinese Restaurants in the future.

Spanish Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy told reporters that "I'm not going to take into account any pressure that people might exert on me, but frankly no one is doing that,".
The seemingly confident leader of Spain is showing his strong back bone by not falling under the pressure of markets or fellow European leaders.
When asked during a Q&A session October 2nd whether a bailout request from Spain was imminent, Rajoy replied: "No." Thank you for your clear answer, Sir. 🙂
Forex traders, investors around the world, and economists still have their eyes fixed on Spain's bailout position.
Rajoy said, referring to the ECB bond buying program: "It's very important that the mechanism exists because a few months ago it didn't,".
"It's very good because everyone knows it's there and it can be requested, but at the moment the decision hasn't been taken."
The decision has no been made but, will it? That is the question. The Euro is has fallen the past two days and may continue as the request for Spanish aid is delayed.
My trading friends, don't be caught off guard when or if the Bailout request comes. Be careful with the EURUSD.

In Which Jay Throws His Hands In The Air... Again
First let me thank everyone who commented on the "Calvinist vs. Wesleyan" post. Yes, some of the comments did overwhelm me a bit, but that's mainly because I've been overwhelmed lately anyway, and with a variety of things. As far as whethor or not I'm a Calvinist or a Wesleyan...well, right now I'm still a Wesleyan, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. However, I do realize that I (along with Calvin, Wesley, and the rest of us) am just a small, insignificant human being. When we're talking about a God who created the very fabric of reality, then we have to have the humility to admit that our human doctrines and systems of belief can end up being infinitely fallible when compared to His infinite perfection.
The one thing I knew after that post was that I know very little. But I do know what I think matters most. I know God exists, I know Christ died for my sins, I know His Word, and I intend to keep it. Both Calvinists and Arminians (and many, many others) know these things, and so really, what's all the arguing about? Do not both Calvinists and Arminians preach the Gospel to the nations? Do they not both help the poor, sick, and needy? Do they not both aspire to love Christ and God with all their hearts and all their souls? Do they not both rejoice when sinners come running to the grace of the Cross? Do they not both weep for the lost souls in this world? As you can see, I could go on. My point is that it doesn't really matter whether or not we think God predestined all of this or merely foreknew it. Either way, in all things we seek to glorify Him, so I don't think He'll mind.
That post did lead me to learn some things about myself. I realized that all of my objections to Calvinism stem from something within me that I believe is ultimately good: the belief that, deep down, all men are good; no one is rotten to the core. Even in the darkest of hearts, there is the glimmer of the perfect Creation that we were all intended to be, and that many of us will be again. I do not want to see anyone that I've known in this life sent to Hell (whatever its nature may be). Truly, I'd like to see all of mankind resolved to God (even though I know that isn't going to happen), and I believe in a God who would like to see the same thing, who does not wish that any should perish but that all should be brought to Him.
I know this confidence in the goodness of humanity is something that a lot of Christians (and even many secularists) warn against. Not necessarily because they think it's totally wrong but because it often sets an individual up to be hurt when a person doesn't turn out to be as good as they hoped. But that's the kind of pain I'll gladly live with.
I hope those above two paragraphs didn't sound too proud. They're merely things I've come to notice about myself. Trust me, I notice a lot of things that I don't like so much, so it's nice to find something within you that you can know is good. One thing that I know is bad is my habit to start rambling, like I've done now. :-) Let me get back on track...
Like I said, I'll still hold to Arminianism, but I'm open to Calvinism and I don't believe that either are perfectly right or perfectly wrong. Whichever path you take shouldn't affect your path as a Christian, and that's the most important thing in my eyes. I'm grateful for the debate. It really did help me grow, even though I didn't really change my mind about anything. I didn't throw my hands in the air and give up like usual. I did, though, throw my hands in the air and praise God, for being a Creator that I know created me with a care that made the worlds.

What a wonderful post! I think all of your conclusions are right and good. Praise God that we are all still in the Family of God despite some doctrinal differences!
- grace said...
If you ever get the chance to hear Rob Bell....DO IT!
He makes the debate between Calivinism and Arminianism seem so completely irrelevant. Much like what you are expressing in your 3rd paragragh. Yet, he doesn't mention either or any specific theology for that matter.
Hopefully he'll be in your area at some point.
I love the way you are not afraid to grapple with your faith. This is exactly what you are supposed to do. I'm proud of you!
love ya!
- Peterson Toscano said...
zzzzzzzzzzzz, sorry, even back at Bible school in the midst of heated debate, I have found the discussion of Calvinism and Arminianism to be uttlerly boring and soul numbing.
Glad you had the patience for the debate, and like you I agree that at the end of the day, the path doesn't matter in our Christian walk (although I am sure proponents on both side may fiercely disagree with that statement).
I love Jesus and how he keeps it simple. "You will know them by their fruits. Love God. Love your neighbor. Love your enemy. Abide in me. "
"the belief that, deep down, all men are good; no one is rotten to the core."
That's definitely why you're an Arminian/Wesleyan.
I disagree. Whereas I don't believe that there is goodness in every human being, or necessarily any of us, I do think we all have a measure of reason. So there is a kernel of truth, in my view, to your notion that all men are good. That kernel may be this: we are all made in the image of God; it's been corrupted, but perhaps some fossil remains of it.
I think there's something to that that makes people think there is goodness inherent in humanity. But, respectfully, the Word must rule us on this point.
Matthew 19: 16-17
"16 Behold, one came to him and said, "Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?"
17 He said to him, " Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."
Jesus plainly said that no one is good but God. In context, He was showing to the man who asked Him this question: that He is God, and the conclusive evidence that Jesus is God is that He is good.
If you know anyone who is good of themselves, it is equally proof that they are God.
I agree, though, with one general theme of yours, which is that since theology is such a huge topic that none of us could ever know it all, therefore knowing everything perfectly is not required to be a Christian.
We each have only that which we've been given from above. God gives to each of us differently and for His own reasons, but to His people, we know He gives out of His unimaginable love for Himself and for us.
May we all know God - our Father and our Husband.
I like the romance of finding good in people too. But if I have truly found even a fleeting ray of goodness beaming out of a person, it is not in fact their goodness shining at me, but Jesus Christ Himself staring back at me through their face. It should be haunting.
- Jay said...
Amanda & Grace: Thanks girls! I've never heard of Ron Bell, but if I ever hear he's in my area I'll go check him out. I'm proud of you too!
Peterson: "You will know them by their fruits" is one of the most important concepts when it comes to this debate. If both Calvinism and Arminianism produce the same fruits, then chances are they both come from the same tree, right?
Jerubaal: I believe that God is in charge of everything. If anything is good in a person, it comes from Him, because he initially created us all to be good, yet we have been corrupted by sin. Just like all the good of nature comes from God, so does all the good of human nature.
I never said that anyone is completely good, and even if they were, their goodness here could not compare in the slightest to God's perfection. Nor do I think that goodness is the only requirement for salvation. But I do think that God appeals to us through that which is the best within us.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it, as the saying goes. We may be on different sides of the theological coin, but hopefully that won't stop you coming back.
Peace out,
- Tin Man said...
Amen, Brother! Did you get my email?

I sure did. Thanks for that. :-D
Hey Jay,
Sorry for the late comment, but I just read this and wanted to post it.
Matthew 22:14
"For many are called, but few chosen."
If Arminianism is true, this should rather read, "For many are called, but none chosen" or "For many are called, but few choose."
- Jay said...
Actually, I thought Calvinism held to the belief that the only ones called are those that were chosen. If that's the case, then that verse should read:
"For few are called, and those same few are chosen."
I believe that all human beings are called to worship Christ, some choose to do so, and then God chooses them for salvation. The verse makes sense to me.
Oh crap, and here I was saying I was done with this. I guess old habits die hard :-)
I have alot of respect for two positions on this subject, and I tolerate a third. I most respect Calvinism, because I think it has more theoretical value, yielding more understanding of the Bible than does Arminianism, and consequently it is more academic and biblically rigorous. The best sermons I've heard and read in my life are also Calvinist sermons.
Pure Arminianism I also respect. I buy alot into the view that Calvinism and Arminianism are unavoidable and contradictory positions each of which have biblical support, and one of which is necessary. You can only really be one or the other and at the same time be a thoughtful, biblical Christian. Pretty much any deviation from pure Calvinism or Arminianism results in heresy, such as hypercalvinism, pelagianism, and open theism.
The third position, the one I tolerate, is one where people don't have the time or other personal resources to resolve the question and thus accept a simpler, more mysterious faith than that provided by the bible. I tolerate it, but I don't find anything praiseworthy in such a position.
I find it very praisworthy and endearing, though, for people who keep an open mind and heart to these issues, who wrestle and struggle with them, because whichever position they end up taking, they will end up stronger because of it. When I see such people, I'm like Zarathustra gazing upon by ubermensch.
What I don't like is people claiming to have found a transcendent middle path that they occupy. This middle ground does not exist; there is simply no whole number between one and two, God's choice or God and man's choice.
And practically speaking, there is very little difference between Arminianism and Calvinism as to major points. Both believe in the causes and effects that the other believe in, but we label them backwards of each other.
Some people on both sides think that believing in their soteriology is essential to being saved. I don't know that, so I don't teach it. But I don't take the risk either by failing to represent the side I very strongly believe.
Much Love Yo,
and Merry Christmas.
For example, what I mean by theoretical value:
I find Calvinists usually understand the economy of salvation in much greater depth and detail than Arminians. This doesn't mean that my sample is representative though, and it doesn't mean that Arminianism itself lacks this understanding. (But as an Arminian for almost twenty years, I think I've had some exposure to mainstream Arminian thought and preaching).
Jesus Christ's death on the cross, when He said "tetlestai" - "paid in full", actually accomplished a payment to God that appeased His wrath for those who will end up in heaven forever. At that point, how could His rage justly continue against those who will be saved? They could not now be in jeopardy, could they, or else God is unjust for demanding two satisfactory payments for one sinner.
This payment was twofold. First of all, God demands of every human soul that it live a perfect life on earth. No one has. But Jesus, being God, had no duty to live a perfect life as a human on earth - this was not owed to God by Him, because He was not created by Him, and so His doing so constituted a payment from God to God as a substitute. And because the Son is infinite by His very nature, His substition was good for an unlimited number of sinners. It was Jesus's humanity, His entrance into the human race as a member of it, that allowed Him to be a substitute for humans.
The second requirement God demands, in this case of sinful human souls, is that they die a spiritual and physical death. This Christ also satisfied by suffering the same on the cross.
The earnest He made of this was that He resurrected Himself from the dead and into heaven in the sight of many.
Not only this, but through Him we have new life. Not just that He has paid a price that satisfies justice, either. No, He also relives His perfect life through the Holy Spirit living in each of us, re-enacting His perfect way through those whom He loves with a superlative, saving love. We are the branches, and He is the vine, meaning that His life is literally flowing in each Christian. Each Christian goes on a path that re-enacts the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ because of the Holy Spirit who lives in each of us.
It's a reason to want more of that life, to live as He did, loving the lost, loving His people, and to die a martyr of God.

jerubaal: If I have truly found even a fleeting ray of goodness beaming out of a person, it is not in fact their goodness shining at me, but Jesus Christ Himself staring back at me through their face.
Erm. I'm probably reading this wrong, but it strikes me as arrogant. I think it is wrong of you to diminish other people because their goodness doesn't fit in with your theology. Admittedly, you're diminishing yourself too, so perhaps arrogance isn't the best description of what you're doing.
Back to the opening blog post:
Have you heard of Darwin Fish? Not a pleasant guy. He maintains that God hates Fred Phelps. God doesn't hate Fred Phelps for all the reasonable reasons we might imagine. Oh no. God hates Fred Phelps because Fred Phelps is a Calvinist.
In a video, a member of Mr Fish's church says as much to a young woman from Mr Phelp's chuch. She smiles sweetly and replies, "Well, at least you admit that God hates people."
As Jonathan Bennett wrote of the thoroughly unpleasant theologian Jonathan Edwards, when God is painted as misanthropic as that, one suspects misanthropy in the theologian.

It includes a Pinot Noir and a Chardonnay, both retailing at £5.99, and has already gained a listing at Morrisons.
The launch follows a 2013 marketing campaign also called Surprisingly Good that urged shoppers and the trade to reappraise Romanian Pinot Noir.
Wine marketing manager Fran Draper told OLN: "It looks so striking visually and it stands out on shelf.
"We are now starting to take it to other retailers. We want to see what the reaction is and build it up slowly. It is predominantly for the multiples but we will then take it out to cash and carries and try to get it into off-licences.
"We see it as a big brand. We will back it with social media campaigns and by taking it to consumer events like Three Wine Men."

House prices now at 2002 levels
Further drop of 10pc is predicted before market 'bottoms out next year'
Property prices are getting close to the bottom as the pace of house-price falls eases, economists believe.
House prices fell by 1.7pc in the three months to June, the lowest quarterly fall for two years. Prices are down 35pc from their 2006 peak, the latest index from Permanent TSB and the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) says.
Economist with NCB Stockbrokers, Brian Devine, said house prices were now close to the bottom; Ronan Lyons of property price website Daft.ie said there were signs that parts of the Dublin market were stabilising.
The average house price, at €201,364, is now at a level not seen since the end of 2002. This is a fall of €110,000 from €310,831 at its peak in 2006.
The index, which is based on agreed sale prices and is calculated using data from mortgage drawdowns, shows that prices fell by 6.4pc in the first six months of 2010. Looked at over 12 months, prices are down 17pc. Dublin house prices fell by 3.5pc in April, May and June -- double the fall of houses in the country as a whole.
The capital's price fall in the second three months of this year compares with a reduction of 10.3pc in the first three months of this year, and a fall of 7.5pc in the last three months of last year. House prices outside Dublin fell by 0.8pc, compared with a fall of 3.5pc in the first three months of the year
Permanent TSB's Niall O'Grady said the figures could show that prices are starting to find a more sustainable level, after almost three and a half years of decline.
"While prices continue to fall at different levels in Dublin, versus the rest of the country, the reduction in the second quarter is the lowest recorded quarterly fall in almost two years," he said.
Some commentators have predicted that house prices in Ireland are likely to fall by another 10pc this year, before reaching the bottom next year.
Mr Devine of NCB Stockbrokers said the sharper fall in Dublin's house prices was closer to where he expects national house prices to end up.
He said that the general perception in the property market was that prices are actually down by between 40pc and 45pc because of the narrow terms of the Permanent TSB/ESRI index.
The economist said the index reflected the mortgage lending of just one bank, while the property price figures can be between three and six months out of date as they are based on agreed sales prices.
It can take a number of months between a house sale being agreed, and the mortgage money being drawn down.
Director of the PIBA mortgage-brokers group, Rachel Doyle, said the squeeze on bank lending was hindering a recovery in the housing market.
She said a recent survey carried out by the Irish Banking Federation showed there had been a 60pc drop in new mortgage lending last year, when compared with 2008.

PAC attack
Today's shot from the Clinton campaign featured Howard Wolfson calling on Obama to shut down his PAC, which has been writing checks to politicians in early states, something that raised some hazy campaign finance questions.
Obama responded at a Des Moines press conference that "folks from some of the other campaigns are reading the polls and starting to get stressed and issuing a whole range of outlandish accusations. Everything that we've done is in exact accordance with the law."
David Axelrod went into a little more detail on "Face the Nation," both defending the substance — "It's gone to candidates all over the country because we're trying to elect Democrats" — and dismissing the issue.
"I think it is shut down, Howard. I think it's run — I don't know that there's any money left in it," he said.
The PAC stopped fundraising months ago, but has, according to Open Secrets, almost $100,000 left.
A couple of thoughts: First, this is the first time in Obama's career he's faced a concerted, extended assault like this — and expect a new front to open roughly every day.
Second, on this specific issue, the campaign's substantive position seems to be that there was some coordination but there's nothing wrong with that, though neither Obama nor Axelrod quite said that today.

This honey dispenser Lacor consists of a transparent glass body and a high part in black plastic. This trasparent honey dispenser Lacor will facilitate you the service and the dosage of the honey. Provided with a plastic handle, its use will there be even simpler.
|Singly sold
|Black, Transparent
|Glass, Plastic
Plastic and derivated
In case of a hand-wash of your items in plastic and derivated plastic, use a soft and non-abrasive sponge or you will scuff the plastic and then pour out some washing-up liquid before to rinse with some hot water.
Unless otherwise indicated, you also can put plastic elements into a dishwasher by placing them in a such way that they do not clink together or along with ustensils and cutleries. You will, therefore, avoid the scuffs.
What you should not do : These products do not have to enter in contact with flames (BBQ, gaz stove...).
To avoid scuffing your derivated plastic (melamine, polycarbonate and acrylic), do not use sharpening ustensils or abrasive ustensils like abrasive sponge and steel wool.
Glass and derivated
The glass does not demand a high care. In case of hand-wash, we merely do advise you to clean up your items via a sponge along with neutral soap or washing-up liquid. As for the rinsing, put your glass under either cold water or hot water.
Unless otherwise indicated, the items in glass can go to a dishwasher. Nonetheless, we suggest you to dry them once the wash is over so as to avoid both hard water and water marks.
If there are hard water and water marks, a water and vinegar steam cleaning will enable to take them off effortlessly.

When commenting on some states looking at new taxes to upkeep roads and bridges, The Augusta Chronicle stated that instead of angling for more ways to extract more money out of us, governments should just figure out ways to spend less of it. This looks like a "ready, fire, aim" reaction to the term "government."
I am all for small government -- I've voted Republican since 1964 -- but this comment seems odd coming from an organization such as The Augusta Chronicle that has almost doubled the amount of money it has extracted from me to keep my subscription in the past few years. You would be more credible if you could lower your prices first, then show us how this is done.
Further, major maintenance on roads and bridges are performed by contractors, not by full-time government employees. Your challenge would be better issued to private companies to figure out how to do maintenance at less cost to government. Or would you prefer a private-company solution in which we sell all the roads and bridges then pay tolls to the private companies when we use the facilities? The Garden State Parkway in New Jersey comes to mind.
This would certainly lower the amount of money we send the government. I doubt it would save the users money.
