John Dennis Meyer (born April 8, 1950, in Jefferson City, Missouri) is a former professional American football defensive lineman and coach.
An All-American defensive back at Arkansas State, Meyer signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1973, playing safety and punt returner for the team. He was cut before the 1974 season and signed with the Portland Storm of the World Football League. He later signed with the Atlanta Falcons for 1975, but was cut before the season started. He next signed with the Calgary Stampeders where he played two seasons as a safety and punt returner.
After his retirement as a player, Meyer was hired to coach Calgary's defensive backfield. In 1982, he joined the Toronto Argonauts as defensive backfield and special teams coach. He was promoted to defensive coordinator and, in 1992, he replaced Adam Rita as head coach of the Argonauts. He had a 3-4 record over the team's final seven games and missed the playoffs. He was fired after a 1-9 start in 1993 and replaced by Bob O'Billovich.
In 1996, he coached Great Bridge High School in Virginia. He resigned in 1997 so he could move to Atlanta with his second wife. The Wildcats went 1-9 in his only season at the helm.
In 2007, he was a defensive coach for the Cherokee High School Warriors of Canton, Georgia, under the head leadership of Brian Dameron.
In 2008, he became a sixth grade teacher at Little River Elementary in Woodstock, Georgia.
In 2009, he became the defensive back coach at River Ridge High School in Woodstock, Georgia.

Bob Narveson, president and CEO of Thrifty White Pharmacy and chairman of the National Association of Chain Drug Stores, clearly believes the benefits of medication synchronization far outweigh any possible reduction in customer store visits.

That's the message Thrifty White president and CEO Bob Narveson had for DSNTV in part two of a frank and broad-ranging interview about the state of the industry, the role community pharmacy can play in healthcare reform and the results of an exciting new study that validates the role companies like his can play to innovate patient care, improve outcomes and lower healthcare costs.

Dollar General on Friday announced that its chairman and CEO, Rick Dreiling has informed the board of directors of his intent to retire as CEO effective May 30, 2015 or upon the appointment of a successor.
The Congressional Wellness Caucus and the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease on Thursday hosted a briefing to examine the impact of chronic, non-communicable disease and look beyond just medical costs to more holistically consider total productivity, particularly among the federal workforce.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick on Tuesday enacted biosimilars legislation updating Massachusetts's pharmacy law and paving the way for the substitution of biosimilars deemed "interchangeable" by the Food and Drug Administration.

Wal-Mart Stores chairman Rob Walton, 69, announced the appointment of Greg Penner, 44, as vice chairman at the company's shareholders' meeting Friday morning, a move that positions Penner, Walton 's son-in-law, as his successor.

"This award was developed to really honor and acknowledge people who make a real difference in our industry," said Bill Anderson, GMDC chairman and group VP at H-E-B. "They're just very, very special people."
Following Saturday's lunch at the 44th GMDC Health, Beauty and Wellness Marketing Conference, both Bill Anderson, 2014 GMDC chairman and group VP at H-E-B, and David McConnell, GMDC CEO and president, provided an update around the versatility offered through GMDC*Connect, GMDC's video conferencing service.

On my visits, which admittedly were a few years ago, even with the 3- and 4-day tickets you had to choose one park for the first day, then the other for the second, but then could hop on the third and, with the 4-day ticket, on the fourth day.
Also, if you stay in one of the 3 Disney-owned hotels, a length of stay Monorail ticket is included for each registered hotel guest. As the Disney resort monorail is part of the JR network, the JR passes that allow unlimited rides on any JR trains for a week or more are valid for the TDR monorail as well, but of course it wouldn't be the best use for the JR pass, value-wise.
Yep, the "Magic Passports" now include park-hopping, though only on the third and fourth day (I've corrected that in the piece.) I chose the two-day passport, so I didn't actually get to do this, though.
The local train to the Disney resort is at one extreme of the station, so there's a good chance you will have trouble finding the right platform. If that happens and you get confused, there are a few information kiosks that have english speaking hosts.

Tzal, the proposition is not only controversial, it's unworkable on its face. Who defines "the basic skills to function in society"? What are the skills you've decided to "force" on all children everywhere? Why do you think those skills are necessary to function in society? (Hint: for many of them, it's because someone decided that they were necessary, not because they actually are.) And once you've got a skillset that will allow growing children to function in society - a skillset that you're assuming an "unschool" setting won't give them - why do you think it needs to be forced on children?
The American school system is based on the Prussian system, which was explicitly designed during the Industrial Revolution to prepare the lower class for factory work and to prepare the upper class for sitting around and trading Shakespeare quotes. It generates good, obedient workers - not people who can function in society. (Ask yourself how many people you know whom the public school system taught to balance a checkbook or operate a computer with proficiency.) The system hasn't been applicable to the lives American children will lead for decades. It's ridiculous to assume that it's the best model simply because it's been the only model for over a hundred years.
(And I say this, mind, as a product of the American public school system, and as a father whose son is in the American public school system - much to my chagrin, some days.)
You're right, though, that I used the wrong term yesterday. I should have said "home-learners", since that covers both homeschooling and unschooling.

Q&A: I'm 19 weeks and feel "vibrations." What could this be?
I'm 19 weeks pregnant and just had a very small amount of clear mucus-like discharge. Here is the weird question: I had a feeling like vibrations not cramps. What could this be?
What you're referring to is something that used to be called "quickening."
Quickening is an old term that specifically refers to the expectant mother's first perception of life within her womb—actually, first perceived fetal movement within her uterus. It will feel at first like little butterflies below your navel. It is first felt at about 18-20 weeks in a woman having her first baby, and the flutterings will organize over the next few weeks into discrete jumps and then kicks.
Medically, quickening is no big deal in these days of ultrasonigraphic videos of baby in the first trimester, but it should still be a personal thrill—your baby is knocking on your door and saying, "I'm here! I exist! Love me!"

State police said a 22-year-old Millersburg man took his one-year-old son on a high speed chase through Dauphin County Sunday afternoon.
Troopers said they were called to a home on the 800 block of Pheasant Road in South Hanover Township for a domestic call. But when they got there, the man they were looking for, Kellen Brown, was nowhere to be found.
Brown's girlfriend told police he had left in his car with his one-year-old son. Troopers then reported seeing his vehicle on Route 39 and began chasing him toward Hersheypark Drive.
He traveled through South Hanover Township and into Hummelstown Borough. At times, police said, Brown reached speeds of 75 miles per hour in 25 and 35 mph zones.
Police said at one point, Brown purposefully turned his vehicle towards a trooper's cruiser, striking it.
Brown was eventually located at his mother's home in Highspire and arrested.
He was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, endangering the welfare of children, reckless endangerment, fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer and criminal mischief.
He was being held in Dauphin County Prison on $50,000 bail.

Flower-in Season has Arrived!
February 17, 2014 - 9:00am
In the weeks following recruitment, DePauw Greek life participates in a beloved tradition unique to DePauw: flower-ins. In order to promote unity and welcome the new members of the Greek community, each fraternity will visit all six Panhellenic sororities for a flower-in. At these events, the new fraternity members honor the women with a serenade. The active members then present the new members of their houses one by one, the men giving the women a flower, a hug, and maybe even a kiss. The active members of each house stand by and cheer on the flower-ins in what always ends up being a fun and exciting way to embrace the new additions to Greek life. READ MORE

Growing Up? How do I do that??
February 10, 2014 - 2:57pm
According to almost everyone I talk to, at the young age of 20, I'm supposed to be preparing to enter the real world. Resumes, internships, and my not yet created, but desperately needed LinkedIn account have been consuming my thoughts for the past month. In a perfect world, my resume would be stellar and well composed, I'd have a summer internship already lined up, and my LinkedIn account would be set up and utilized by possible future employers. But let's face it, I'm a twenty year old, second semester sophomore, cringing at the idea of growing up, and every day I'm faced with a thousand more things I need to do. But with the guidance of a lot of good people, I'm slowly dealing with all of this…and here's how. I've gotten organized (for the most part...

Premier tribunes to offer TFE731 CZIs
Premier Turbines, a division of Dallas Airmotive, has added -20, -40 and -60 models to its TFE731 Core Zone Inspections (CZI) program. As a result, the company now offers CZIs on all TFE731 turbofan engines. Neosho, Mo.-based Premier, a Honeywell authorized heavy maintenance facility since 1996, has also modified an engine test cell to support this program.
According to Jim Donlan, president and CEO of Dallas Airmotive, more than 1,250 TFE731-20, -40 and -60 engines power business jets that are currently in operation worldwide. These engines are used on a variety of aircraft, including the Falcon 50EX and 900EX, the Learjet 40 and 45 and the Gulfstream G100/Astra SPX. "These new authorizations elevate Premier Turbines to one of only five independent service providers in the world capable of performing this advanced level of repair and overhaul," Donlan said.

As the miles rolled by under the GTA's wheels, I also had time to reflect on how supple the ride is despite all the lowering and stiffening work. The car is taut but never jittery at low speeds, and as you pick up the pace, things smoothen out and everything snaps into focus. Porsches are like that, too, and it is a consistent characteristic of really fast cars.
Development engineer Lorenzo Minelli was on hand to explain the changes. "The basic 156 suspension is double wishbone in front and MacPherson strut beam axle at the rear with anti-dive, anti-squat geometry. The uprated suspension is a mix of production 156 and some new parts," he said. "The lower arms and uprights are pressed steel, the upper ones alloy. The springs are the same rate as the 2.5-liter V6 156, but shorter," he continued. "The dampers are uprated, so the front and rear end up 30 and 40 percent stiffer. The anti-roll-bar diameter has been increased to 23mm and 17mm front and rear, which is 1mm up from the normal 156 2.5 V6."
To help contain the much greater power and torque, two reinforcing struts are solid mounted between the front subframe and the bodyshell. The GTA also has different suspension top mounts and bump stops. The car weighs about the same, and the 3.2-liter engine is only about 10kg heavier. On the other hand, the new alloy wheels are lighter.
"Understeer is very linear as you approach the limit," Lorenzo explained. "We needed to balance out the quick steering, so the kinematics were changed by taking the steering closer to pure Ackerman. The inclination of the rear beam axle is greater. and we have more stabilizing toe-in per degree of lateral force with progressive rear bushes. The castor angle is the same, but we actually reduced negative camber at the front from 1 degree 20 minutes to just 15 minutes."
It all works very well in practice, and contains the 250 rampant cavallini very well indeed. Going from 2.5 to 3.2 liters is a massive jump for the 156, and the base motor is the 3.0-liter V6 from the larger 166 saloon and the GTV coupe.
"The block itself is unchanged, and we achieved the capacity increase with a new long-throw crankshaft, and lightened and balanced rods and shorter pistons," Lorenzo explained. "The new camshafts have higher lift, 9.3mm for both intake and exhaust, and compression ratio is up to 11.3:1, so 98 octane super unleaded is a must. We retain the hydraulic tappet, and there is no variable valve timing arrangement. Finally, the Bosch M3.1 engine management system has been reprogrammed to cope."
The car I drove had the six-speed manual transmission, which proved swift and positive, but you can also opt for the Selespeed clutchless shifter. Made by Magneti Marelli, its paddle shifter makes life easier on mountain roads strewn with hairpin bends, as well as in heavy traffic. I personally like it even if many motoring writers seem unable to get to grips with the concept. The GTA's Selespeed system has been recalibrated for faster shifts, and the mechanical components have been beefed up to take the greater torque of the 3.2-liter motor.
This 3179cc V6 is one of the best engines I have ever driven. Creamy smooth from DC to light, it burbles into life with a fruity howl and then orchestrates a fabulous multi-layered warble from off idle to the redline and beyond. It is pure mechanical music that makes enthusiasts swoon with ecstasy.
The lighter internals certainly play a significant role, as this motor revs faster than other Alfa motors despite its larger capacity. It is still so smooth as you approach 7000 rpm, it gives the impression there is still more to come. The 250 bhp is developed at 6200 rpm and 221 lb-ft of torque at 4800 rpm, but the beefy torque curve and crisp throttle response ensure that impressive urge is present right across the rev band.

Justin Bieber's Reveals His Favorite Booty: Nicki Minaj -- Plus, Best Celebrity Bikini Butts (PHOTOS)
Justin Bieber loves the lovely lady lumps.
The 18-year-old pop star, who is currently dating Selena Gomez, has revealed that he likes a woman with a nice rear view.
"I just like butts," Bieber reportedly told Q Magazine (via Global Grind). "I'm attracted to them. Do I have a favorite? Nicki Minaj has got a nice one."
Sorry, Miss Gomez -- but Minaj's behind isn't the only rump he's ogling these days.
The "Baby" singer has a big crush on Beyonce Knowles, too!
"Beyonce. She's so sexy. I'm in love with everything about her. But I love Jay-Z, so I can't do anything about it," he said.
"I've had a crush on her for a long time… But I wouldn't come between them; I would never do that. But I'm going to make her follow me just by keeping talking about it."
What do you think of Bieber's comments? Funny or inappropriate? Sound off in the comments and click through the gallery to see the best celebrity bikini butts.

I first of all want to thank the baseball Gods that Jim Crane decided not to change the Astros' name. I just can't make any sense of why anybody would change the name of the baseball team after it has had the name for over forty five years.
Secondly, I would like to congratulate Ron Washington and the Texas Rangers organization on Washington's two-year extension. It couldn't have happened to a better man and manager.
The reason for this blog post is Skip Schumaker's new baseball card. The picture is Schumaker's actual 2012 Topps Series 1 baseball card. This is not acceptable. I'm anxious to see how Schumaker reacts, although I'm sure he'll be a good sport about it. I understand that the rally squirrel is the reason for the Cardinals winning the World Series you know, if you're completely insane, but his own card? Really?

"Dancing with the Stars" chick Julianne Hough said boyfriend Chuck Wicks is "the same person" as her brother Derek ... with darker hair.
Well, she is into country music ...
I guess if he makes her happy that's great, but why on earth would you want someone that reminds you of your sibling? That's kinda gross.
BTW, when is the real brother coming out of the closet? C'mon already - he is as gay as a Thanksgiving Turkey with all the trimmings...
I can't help it- why pick on Julianne when you've got idiots who have nothing of value or substance to say beyond "First!"
Congratulations, you win a Made in China stuffed animal mutant. What a great day for you!
It's a Wonderful Life, huh? So easy to be.. First!!!
She is so sweet.
She's cute. She has a sister that's even cuter. TMZ, get more pictures of her hot sister! Please, no more pix of her dorky brother/boy friend!
Juliane and Derek are GREAT dancers....................Wicks, on the other hand, ymmmm!
I think Shannon Elizabeth would know if Derek Hough is gay. They have been living together for a year. He will dump her after he gets where he wants to be because he only goes out with her to promote himself. Poor Shannon.
Country music, being from the south, sex with sisters and brothers, ha-ha-ha.....
Yeah, those hick red states have the only economies that are actually staying afloat. Those backwood red states are the fastest growing states in the nation, while anyone with a lick of sense is bolting those high society, sophificated blue states that are spending and taxing their constituents into obvilion. I'll keep a few acres for you when you tire of being forced to take care of everyone else instead of yourself and your own family.
She is so pretty and sweet.
Derek made his way on his own, unlike Chuck who leeched on to Julianne's popularity to get reckonized. He's a jerk and I hope Julianne marries him asap so he can cheat on her like he did to Heather. Julianne is a phony and you can tell Chuck is a player. Hey Chuck, push your toupee' down in the back, it sticks up in the back of your head.
so chuck wicks is gay ??
Julianne is so beautiful. She is the best dancer on the planet. I think that her and CHuck are the cutest couple on DWTS this season. SHe is so talented and so vibrant. She is a breeze to watch. I wish them both the best!
Derek Hough is NOT gay. He recently moved in with Shannon Elizabeth. THEY are a couple and have been for about a year now!
Chuck Wicks was a rising star before Julianne hit Nashville...He doesn't need her,,,If anything, she needs him to boost her country career... She reminds me of Mitzi Gaynor, the 50's dancer and singer...I don't think it's a fake romance, but I also don't think it will last...

The Gibson Paradox: An Empirical Investigation for Turkey
AbstractThis paper tests the existence of Gibson paradox using the traditional and modern time series techniques in the case of annual Turkish data. Even though the results from the traditional Gibson paradox regression suggested a positive relationship between the interest rates and the prices levels in Turkish data, subsequently it was proven to be spurious. On analyzing the time series properties of the variables and the results from the Johansen cointegration procedure, we reveal that there is no support of the Gibson paradox in Turkish data.

Re2 doubles in size to 42, hiring 16 more; Pipitone adds sixTwo Pittsburgh companies are upsizing: Robotics company Re2 is expanding its Lawrenceville operation and has doubled in size since 2009; Pipitone Group on the North Side has added six marketing professionals bringing its staff to 30-plus.
A leading maker of mobile, modular manipulations systems for the defense industry, Re2's business got a boost from a deal to provide its Small Robot Toolkit to Northrop Grumman Corp. subsidiary Romtec Inc., technology that assists in dismantling improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
DARPA has also selected Re2 to develop a dual-arm robot and software simulation tool for its Autonomous Robotic Manipulation (ARM) program's Outreach Track, a program through which DARPA shares research information with other scientists.
Ongoing projects such as these are driving company growth, reports Jorgen Pedersen, president and CEO. Re2 doubled in size to 40 employees in the last year and plans to hire an additional 16 people by March, engineers for both entry level and senior positions. Re2 has also expanded its space to 17,000 square feet and has added a 10,000 square-foot parking facility in Lawrenceville.
"We've been focused on mobile intelligence manipulation almost exclusively for the past half decade and no company is focused on just that," says Pedersen. "It's a very hot topic in the military now. We're definitely a leader in this area."
After a year of belt-tightening in 2009, Pipitone Group has added six new employees to its team of 30-plus, says Scott Pipitone. Retaining customers, winning new ones and capitalizing on new business is driving the firm forward.
"We've had a good stable of customers who are in it for the long term," says Pipitone. "Our niche is around smaller channel marketing companies. We're not going off and hunting for the big elephant; we have some nice-sized deer and antelope in our sights."
Pipitone has room to grow on the North Side with 12,000 square-feet of space, he adds.

It didn't take very long after Halloween for the gift-buying frenzy to kick in! Too bad shopping for the holidays isn't always that easy. When it comes to picking out the perfect present for our little ones especially, there are always a million questions running through our minds. Of course we want to make sure we get them something they'll love -- and use -- but when we're flooded with recalls and research about various, potentially hazardous materials used in toys, there's a whole other layer of worry. But it doesn't have to be super-stressful.
Here, five ways to avoid toxic materials when shopping for safe, eco-friendly toys ...
How do you find safe, eco-friendly toys during the holiday season?

Oh my gosh, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I have bookmarked each link you referred. =)
I do check for recalls, a pogo stick that one granddaughter wanted was recalled, thank goodness before I had time to buy it.
I also trust American made.
thanks for sharing!
Something else I do is read the online reviews, if other customers find the object is flimsy or dangerous, then I don't buy it.
I Love Melissa and Doug merchandise! they have the best, my dd always had their stuff. A little advice though, stay away from the type of puzzle pictured, because of a similar puzzle my dd had, she learned to open locks pretty early on and 1 morning before I woke up she actually unlocked our backdoor and left. She woke me up a little later telling me about her adventure in the backyard. I laugh about it now but it wasn't funny then.
We don't really do toys for Christmas, but these seem like great tips!
i search for them online. I also like to get wood toys!
Great tips!!

"Fantastic book"
This is exactly what a dominatrix exploration should be. It is positive, clear, and exciting. Everyone should read this book. Wonderful job!
"Epic swan's song"
I love this series. The writing is good. The ideas are brilliant, and the characters are all tragically flawed and relatable. I will miss Rachel Morgan and her family.
"Great series!"
Great melding of language, acting, and writing. Doesn't get old. Can't wait for the next book. Read it. You will like it. I love it.
"Binge listened and not sick of it"
The Peter Grant collection a paranormal detective series which takes place in central London. This assembly is a fun listen by a sci-fi author with Dr. Who cred. The stories are interesting with sharp wit, dry British humor, and can withstand ridiculous behaviors like binge listening. I have binge listened to the first three books, and I still love this series. If you like collections like The Dresden Files, you will enjoy this selection. Furthermore, the narrations are a perfect match for the writing. Worth the listen. Highly recommend.
"Straight, No Chaser"
This is a brilliant series that takes place in foggy day London town. The wit is sharp and tight and there are no idle moments in this blues walk whodounit. Take five and curl up with this series. You will enjoy it.
"Quirky Characters"
This is a fun series full of quirky characters, and I love quirky characters. Ravaged ups the stakes for the characters and has a lot more action than other installments in The Hunger. Ravaged also involves some interesting character development and fully introduces some newish and definitely awesome characters.
This series is brilliant. I am so glad I stumbled across it. Ben Aaronovitch captures British sarcasm perfectly, and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith narrates it wonderfully! Together, the book and the narration really bring the London experience alive. It reminds me so much of living in London that I want to pop over to Drummond Street for some Indian food.
"Nothing new..still fun!"
There is nothing new in this trilogy. Zombies meet a bunch of Old West stereotypes in three short stories. Even though there is nothing new here, it is still a fun listen. Even though this trilogy doesn't provide a new take on the zombie folklore, this is still an entertaining listen. Listen to it for what it is and enjoy it.
"Really fun"
I love this series for one very similar reason. This series takes eccentric secondary characters and repositions them as the primary characters of this apocalyptic novel. I always love the eccentric secondary characters; so, I was thrilled to find a series that stars them. While Brant narrative isn't as brilliant as Shaun of the Dead, it is still a fun and short listen. The narrator is passable but runs out of believable new voices toward the middle of the novel.
"Love it!"
While this book doesn't really present anything new as far as apocalyptic books go, the main characters are rich and fully developed. In addition instead of including preppers as eccentric side characters, this book explores the nature of the survivalist or prepper mentality. Specifically, this book tries to incorporate how survivalists or preppers might fair in an apocalyptic USA. It is an interesting Naziesque twist. The narrator does a passable job.
"Always entertaining"
Gin and the crew are back and adding members again. Pretty soon all of Southtown will be part of Gin's family. This is a hilarious and entertaining series. If you like female bad asses who have a very practical moral code and comfort food, you will like this series. I hope we see a Spider Cookbook someday. I also find it hilarious how often Gin thinks people have read her mind. If anyone assumed that much non-verbal communication in real life, s/he would be constantly frustrated by misunderstandings and criminally inefficient communication.

WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. (WSAU) -- A former nursing home employee was sentenced for stealing from a dementia patient in her care.
34-year-old Crystal Schillinger of Spencer was convicted of using a credit card belonging to a patient at the care facility where she was employed. Judge Greg Potter this week sentenced Schillinger to 30 days in jail with work release privileges, $786 dollars in court costs, and nearly $2,950 in restitution.
The complaint claims Schillinger used the victim's money last July to pay utility and veterinary bills. As part of the sentence, Schillinger is ordered to not work in an environment with vulnerable people such as nursing home patients.

Pro-Gay Theology: Does the Bible Approve of Homosexuality?
by Steve Golden, AiG–U.S.on January 29, 2013
One of the most pervasive issues of our time has been the movement to embrace homosexual behavior, same-sex "marriage," and the marred versions of masculinity and femininity that accompany this lifestyle. References sympathetic to the homosexual lifestyle appear now in books, on television, in films, and in video games and graphic novels. Even the popular social networking platform Facebook announced the addition of "gay marriage timeline icons" for users.1 Our children and teens are inundated with a message of "tolerance" and "acceptance" of homosexual behavior, and sadly even some professing Christians are preaching this message.
Scripture makes clear, as I will argue, that engaging in homosexual behavior of any sort is sinful (Genesis 18:20 and 19:5; Leviticus 18:22, 20:13; Romans 1:26–27; 1 Corinthians 6:9–10; 1 Timothy 1:10). But some in the church have taken to reinterpreting key passages on homosexuality or even denying outright that these passages mean what they plainly say. So what exactly does the Bible say about homosexuality? And how do pro-gay Bible scholars try to work around those passages?
Late last year, a pro-homosexual group (which to this time has remained anonymous) published a Bible translation dubbed the Queen James Bible, based on the 1769 King James Version. Their rationale for the name was that King James's alleged homosexual acts led his contemporaries to refer to him as "Queen James." While the evidence for King James's homosexuality is shaky at best, the editors of this new "translation" have only made a mockery of a beloved Bible translation.
The changes that the editors made to various passages on homosexual behavior exemplify the ways in which pro-homosexual scholars twist Scripture on this issue. This article will examine a variety of Scriptures dealing with homosexual behavior and four primary arguments that pro-gay scholars use to justify it, using the editors' summary of changes in the Queen James Bible as a springboard.2
Sodom and Gomorrah3
Beginning in the Old Testament, the first passage dealing with homosexual behavior is Genesis 19. Here, two angels visit Lot in Sodom and stay with him and his family for the night. In the course of the evening, the men of the city demand access to Lot's guests:
Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. And they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally." So Lot went out to them through the doorway, shut the door behind him, and said, "Please, my brethren, do not do so wickedly!" (Genesis 19:4–7)
Just as in many other occurrences in Scripture (e.g., Genesis 4:1, 17, 25), the word know in this passage refers to sexual activity. The angels eventually strike the men of the city with blindness (Genesis 19:11) and declare that the Lord will destroy the cities, "because the outcry against them has grown great before the face of the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it" (Genesis 19:13).
While the sin issue in view in Genesis 19 is clearly homosexuality, homosexual advocates typically reframe the issue in two ways: 1. lack of hospitality, or 2. gang rape.4
Advocates of the inhospitality view claim that the issue in the text is with Lot's refusal to introduce his guests to the men of the city. According to this view, the Hebrew word used in Genesis 19:5 for "know," yada, commonly means "to be acquainted with." This is indeed one of the primary definitions of yada, but as with all languages, particular meaning is determined by context. Based on the context of Genesis 19, yada is a reference to knowing someone sexually.5 If yada simply refers to acquaintanceship here, Lot's refusal to introduce his guests to the town was a breach of the rules of hospitality—and the sin is Lot's. So why did God see fit to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah and spare Lot? Within the context of Genesis 19, the definition that some pro-homosexual scholars insist on for yada makes the passage ludicrous.6
The second view, that the sin is not homosexuality but gang rape, is the position that the Queen James Bible takes. In a convoluted fashion, the editors argue that Lot was pleading with the men not to rape his guests. They continue, "We know from Leviticus that one is not allowed to have sex with a beast, and angels are not human. . . . Rapes such as this one are common between men in prison; they aren't sexual acts, they are power-dominating acts."7
As for the Queen James Bible's claim that the men could have been guilty of bestiality by having sex with angels, there is no textual support for including angels in the category of "beasts."8 Additionally, the text gives no indication in Genesis 19:5 that the men of the town were aware of the real identities of Lot's guests. The two angels were men, insofar as the residents of Sodom could perceive. Finally, Jude 6–8 makes clear that the men of Sodom were not simply trying to commit a "power-dominating act"—they had "given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh." The editors' own line of reason as well as the biblical language of "know them carnally" shows that this gang rape was a sexual act.
Of course, the men of the city did intend to rape Lot's guests, and rape is indeed a sinful act. However, if the sin issue in Genesis 19 is rape alone (regardless of whether it is heterosexual or homosexual), we must ask a similar question as before—why did God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah for a sin that never actually occurred? The only reasonable answer is that the city was guilty of regularly participating in homosexual behavior, and the attempt to rape Lot's guests was just the latest occurrence.
Levitical Laws
There are two verses in Leviticus that clearly condemn homosexual behavior as sinful:
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. (Leviticus 18:22)
If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. (Leviticus 20:13)
Homosexual advocates typically challenge this part of the Levitical code by reframing these sanctions against homosexual acts in the context of pagan idol worship. Indeed, the editors of the Queen James Bible have done just that, adding wording to these verses to fit their argument:
Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind in the temple of Molech; it is an abomination. (Leviticus 18:22, QJB, emphasis added)
If a man also lie with mankind in the temple of Molech, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death. (Leviticus 20:13, QJB, emphasis added)
There is no textual support in the Hebrew manuscripts for the additional wording the editors of the Queen James Bible have introduced. But the added phrase "in the temple of Molech" suggests that, in the view of these particular editors, homosexual behavior would only have been prohibited when associated with pagan rituals. The editors reached this conclusion by arguing that the Hebrew word for abomination, tow'ebah, means "ritually unclean." Uncleanness related to pagan idolatry is one of the definitions of tow'ebah; however, it is also used in Scripture to denote something that is morally (ethically) repugnant in God's sight, such as homosexuality (see, for example, Proverbs 6:16).9
Furthermore, chapters 18 and 20 in Leviticus are lists of prohibited behaviors for the Israelites, including incest, bestiality, and child sacrifice. To be consistent, the editors of the Queen James Bible must apply their changes to the whole of these chapters. But the implications of this hermeneutic are severe—incest, bestiality, child sacrifice, and a number of other behaviors would all become acceptable except in the context of pagan idolatry.10 Surely pro-homosexual scholars do not intend to argue for the acceptability of all these practices. The clearest interpretation of these passages is that homosexual behavior is an abomination in the sight of God, whether or not it is in the context of ritual pagan idolatry.
Romans 1:26–27
The Apostle Paul's epistle to the Romans contains a substantial New Testament passage on homosexual behavior. In Romans 1, Paul is explaining the sinfulness of man, "who exchanged the truth of God for the lie," and man's willing rejection of God. He sums up the results of this rejection in verses 26 and 27:
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
In a plain reading of this passage, the Apostle Paul demonstrates that because of man's rejection of the truth for a lie, God gave humanity over to their sin. Homosexual behavior is a prominent part of these consequences. Romans 1:29–31 is a list of further sinful acts and behaviors associated with this giving over. And in Romans 1:32, Paul condemns not just those who practice these things, but also those who approve of them.
But pro-gay scholars and church leaders disagree. For example, John Shelby Spong, a homosexual advocate and retired bishop of the Episcopal Church, attempts to damage the Apostle Paul's credibility and characterizes the Pauline statements on homosexuality as something other than the Word of God:
Yes, I am convinced that Paul of Tarsus was a gay man, deeply repressed, self-loathing, rigid in denial, bound by the law that he hoped could keep this thing, that he judged to be so unacceptable, totally under control, a control so profound that even Paul did not have to face this fact about himself. But repression kills. It kills the repressed one and sometimes the defensive anger found in the repressed one also kills those who challenge, threaten or live out the thing that this repressed person so deeply fears.11
In Spong's view, the Apostle Paul was allegedly repressing homosexual desires and that led him to condemn homosexual behavior in general. Furthermore, Spong argues that in Paul's time, homosexuality was socially unacceptable, so Paul was supposedly forced to react negatively to homosexual behavior. When asked in one interview how he could so easily dismiss the Bible's words on homosexuality, Spong replied, "I don't see the Bible as the Word of God. I see the Word of God as that which I hear through the words of the Bible. There's a very big difference."12 A big difference indeed—between the orthodox Christian view of Scripture as "God-breathed" (2 Timothy 3:16) and Spong's heretical view that accords divine authority to his own thoughts.
The editors of the Queen James Bible chose to apply the same criteria to Romans 1:26–27 that they did to the Levitical laws. In other words, they believe that Paul condemns homosexual behavior only in the context of idolatry. They write, "It is much more likely that Paul meant to express that women were ritually defiling themselves (sexually or otherwise)." They go on to claim that what was "shameful" among these people was pagan idolatry, not homosexual behavior.
Neither of the above views has any biblical support. Whether or not Paul dealt with feelings of same-sex attraction (and there is no biblical evidence for that), he was given the authority of an apostle by God (Galatians 1:1; 1 Corinthians 1:1) and his words in Scripture are the Word of God (2 Peter 3:16). Spong's basis for rejecting them is faulty: the entire Bible was composed by sinful men who were led by the Spirit of God to write what they did. There is no reason to doubt the veracity of their claims or the binding authority of their words for us today based on their humanity.
Finally, the idolatry position of the Queen James Bible editors still does not fit with the whole of Romans 1. Sexual perversion and excess were common in the Roman Empire during the Apostle Paul's day, making his words in Romans 1 fitting for his audience. Once again, the clearest interpretation of this passage is one that takes hold of the plain meaning of the words: homosexual behavior is sinful in the eyes of God.
Arsenokoitēs and Malakos
In the New Testament, two Greek words appear in reference to homosexual behavior: arsenokoitēs and malakos. Paul uses these words together in 1 Corinthians, and arsenokoitēs appears alone in 1 Timothy:
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate [malakos], nor homosexuals [arsenokoitēs], nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9–10, NASB)
. . . for fornicators, for sodomites [arsenokoitēs], for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine. (1 Timothy 1:10, NKJV)
Conservative Bible scholars typically accept (based on solid historical and textual evidence) that arsenokoitēs refers to the active sexual partner in a homosexual act, while malakos refers to the passive partner.13 Pro-homosexual scholars, however, challenge the translations of these two Greek words. Some have tried to limit the words to adulterous homosexual relationships, while others have offered alternate definitions related to rape or sex with young boys (i.e., pederasty). For instance, the editors of the Queen James Bible chose to translate malakos as "morally weak" and arsenokoitēs as "promiscuous."
The first term, malakos, "means literally 'soft' . . . and in Paul's day served as an epithet for the 'soft' or effeminate (i.e., passive) partner in a homosexual (pederastic) relationship."14 Even secularists recognize that in a homosexual act, one of the partners must act as the opposite sex—one of the males plays the female, and vice versa. It is an absolute inversion of the order set forth by God. The definition of the word arsenokoitēs has been the subject of much more debate.
Dr. Robert A. J. Gagnon, associate professor of New Testament at Pittsburg Theological Seminary and an authority on sexual issues in Scripture, explains why the word arsenokoitēs so clearly relates to homosexual acts. Among the evidences Gagnon presents, one of the most compelling is the context of 1 Corinthians 5:1–5, where the apostle Paul is rebuking a man who was sexually involved with his stepmother:
1 Corinthians 5 treats a comparable case of intercourse involving consenting adults who are too much alike or same (here, on a familial level), with echoes to Leviticus and Deuteronomy. . . . For Paul, as for early Judaism and Christianity generally (and even us today), there were structural prerequisites for acceptable sexual unions that transcended appeals to loving dispositions. Gender and degree of blood unrelatedness were two such prerequisites.15
In other words, since 1 Corinthians 5:1–5 is dealing with sexual sin between two closely related family members (adultery is not the whole issue), and arsenokoitēs appears in a vice list in the midst of that, it is reasonable that this word references homosexual acts in general. Indeed, the definition of arsenokoitēs provided in BDAG (a standard Greek lexicon) is "a male who engages in sexual activity w. a pers. of his own sex," specifically, "one who assumes the dominant role in sexual activity."16
Furthermore, even the Septuagint (LXX), the Greek translation of the Old Testament, draws on the word arsenokoitēs in its translation of Leviticus 20:13 ("If a man [arsenos] lies [koitēn] with a male as he lies with a woman . . ."), demonstrating that the word would seem to imply men in general who lie with other men. Lastly, concerning the appearance of arsenokoitēs in the vice list in 1 Timothy 1:10, Gagnon writes, "The fact that arsenokoitai appears here in the midst of a vice list that the author states is derived from the law of Moses (1:8–9) confirms that Paul would have recognized a link to the Levitical prohibitions."17
Try as they might, the arguments of pro-homosexual scholars simply are not convincing. In the very first book of the Bible, we read that God created a man and a woman for the first marriage (not a man and a man or a woman and a woman). And just a few chapters later, God's Word plainly condemns homosexual behavior—a condemnation that continues into the New Testament and is still binding today. The church must stand on the authority of Scripture in this matter, speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) about homosexuality, and clearly share the message that Jesus Christ has the power to forgive and heal everyone who comes to Him in repentance and faith, regardless of the kinds of sins that ensnare them. Paul reminded the Corinthian believers of this truth:
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. (1 Corinthians 6:9–11, NASB)
To: Anon: I am a very lucky woman who has had the great blessing of marrying the man of my dreams. We have been married for 35 years and I have never been happier. We have raised two children who are happy and healthy and both of them love Jesus!!! I spend quality time with the love of my life every day and I cannot imagine my life without him in it. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner tonight and I am never bored with his conversation. He is my other half. When you marry the man that God intends for you they are a blessing to you. He loves that I have the time to spend here with you all. He isn't threatened by my work with the Lord. He is blessed by it. I am semi retired from my own company. i just feel blessed by the Lord and I pray that someday you meet someone who blesses me as much as my man has blessed me!!! God bless you!!! :):):):)
Why would it be a sin to have a man to marry and love you? I looked forward to it very much when I was young too!!! I used to dream about the man I would marry. I almost married the completely wrong guy. Thank goodness Jesus was watching over me!!! I ended up with the man that the Lord intended me to have and I must say I have never looked back. We are still very much in love only it deepens with the years. I can go to sleep at night without him by my side. We hold hands and pray silently every single night and when we are done we squeeze each others hand and I never want to be without him. I pray that neither of us die and we go up in the Rapture together. I can't think of a better way to end our marriage then to both be joined to Jesus at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. God bless you dear one!!! <3
Christian Dating: Can True Love Be Found Online?
By Jennifer E. Jones
Multi-Media Producer
When summer begins, we are suddenly in the thick of wedding season. It's time for joy, flowers, caterers, something borrowed, and something blue. Do you feel the love?
I guess not. In the midst of all this wedded bliss, you're just trying to avoid your newly engaged friend and sparing yourself a half-hour conversation about the difference between egg white and winter white.
Maybe it was getting that last wedding invitation of a college friend or browsing through Bed, Bath & Beyond with a gift registry full of expensive silverware. Somehow, you can't help but feel a little left out.
Let's be honest. Growing up, you always took for granted you'd be married by now. It didn't seem like rocket science. Some of your less-coordinated friends have managed to do it. Couldn't be that hard.
So you got a house, a car, a degree, a job, did some traveling, and built yourself into somebody rather enviable. But one thing today's singles are finding out is that there is one thing in life you can't work for, be good enough for, or accomplish through any persistence of your own. You can't make love happen; it just does.
Or does it?
Today, singles all over the world are kissing fate goodbye and looking for love online.
This is hardly a new phenomenon. Online dating has been around as long as the Web made it possible for two people to communicate. Now, millions log on everyday to search through profiles and photos of total strangers, hoping to find that special someone.
Of course as long as there has been online dating, there has been a stigma attached to it. Ten years ago, had anyone told you, "We met online", you may have tried to stifle one or possibly all of the following:
- A giggle
- An awkward smile
- A look of shame
It was the equivalent of saying, "I'm desperate, and the ticking of my biological clock keeps me up at night."
However today, with the bombardment of television ads and word-of-mouth praise, online daters are coming out of the closet. And no one is more into the trend than Christians.
I didn't believe it until I began researching for this article. I took a random, informal survey of several graduate school students, encouraging them to share their thoughts on dating online. First came the cynics:
"Personally, I would not use it. I believe nothing is impossible for God and no matter how probable or improbable it is for me to meet someone in my given circumstances, God can do all things… I feel it would be irreverent to not include God in the mate selection process."
"I'm a single skeptic, emphasis on skeptic! It's very ironic because I am very tech-forward! I conduct most business online but somehow I don't trust online dating…seems like people can camouflage their issues if they can hide behind e-mail. Plus, you can tell all kinds of tall tales unchallenged [and] unchecked…heck, sometimes it's hard enough to tell when people are fibbing to your face!"
"I am single, but I would never consider an online dating service. In my opinion it is a sign of desperation and could be very dangerous as well."
… and this was just the printable stuff. I was almost convinced this was a practice only for the lonely and sexually deviant.
Then the testimonies poured in:
"I will be celebrating my one-year wedding anniversary. It was truly the most romantic mind-blowing experience that I have ever had… We were matched and actually spent hours e-mailing and talking on the phone. It was wonderful. I did not believe in soul mates until I met him."
"I wouldn't have dared to dream of a man who knows instinctively when to put his arm around me, take my hand, or take me home when I'm exhausted. I'd always dreamed of a man who loved Jesus, wasn't afraid to show it, and would worship with me at church and home. I now have that. We are so grateful, and we remember to thank God for bringing us together… God saved each of us for the other."
"We talked for about six months via e-mail before we ever moved to talking on the phone. After a while of talking on the phone, we knew we had deep feelings for each other. Eventually, we decided to meet, and there was no turning back. It will be two years since we met the first time, and we just married."
Who knew this was the new hip way to get hitched? I received email after email from happy couples. Apparently, there is something special to be found online for the single heart that chooses to look there.
As popular as this is becoming, e-love still begs a few questions:
Where Does God Factor?
All good little Christian boys and girls are taught that God will bring you your future mate. This passive approach to life is especially impressed upon us women. It's "he who findeth a wife" after all. We're not supposed to be actively looking. It's a sign that we don't trust God.
In response to this, a friend of mine told me, "Look, you hire an agent when you buy a house; you have an advisor to help you choose courses in college. Why not have someone help you find the love of your life?" He had a point. Why have we been leaving the most important decision of our lives up to chance?
When asked, many of my happy couples said that God led them to the Internet, and they know that it was His guidance that brought them together in this non-traditional sense. It makes sense since He is a non-traditional God.
What If He/She Is a Psychopath?
Another concern is the perceived increased chance of meeting someone crazy, socially inept or worst yet… married.
It's certainly valid. The anonymous nature of conversing online is like a mating call to the weirdos of the world.
The good online services have methods to minimize your contact with these types of people. Extensive questionnaires, private chats with usernames, and in-depth personality profiles are now common features on the leading matchmaking services.
Some of these test results are surprisingly insightful. The process of finding someone could actually help you find yourself.
Go with sites recommended by friends who have used them. With the right service, meeting someone online is no more risky than meeting someone at Starbucks.
Whatever Happened To Romance?
Your eyes meet from across the room. You reluctantly go on a blind date only to be enchanted by a stranger. He grabs your soy latte by mistake. You laugh, you talk, you marry two years later.
We all have our fantasies about that first magical meeting. I doubt any of us envisioned beginning our love story with "I logged on and liked his profile so I sent him an 'ice-breaker'." Not romantic.
Of course, if we really think about it, many events in our lives haven't gone according to plan… and maybe for good reason. Isaiah 55:9 says, "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." One thing that makes God God is that He doesn't have to follow our roadmap. That's a good thing. Which would you rather have: a life designed by Someone who's omnipotent and omnipresent or by you, a vapor who still can't solve a rubix cube?
Life is full of surprises, and it would be quite tragic if you missed out on someone great because he or she didn't arrive the way you expected.
There are a lot of good reasons to stop envying the bride and groom and go find your own wedded bliss on the Web. But the most important thing is to listen to the Lord. What is He saying about your future spouse? Pray. We must, above all else, seek His will for our lives.
It is easy to let the feelings of being left out of love cloud our thinking. Free your mind to the possibilities. Whether it happens in the aisle of a bookstore, the counter at a coffeehouse, or in cyberspace, there's nothing wrong with holding out for the fairy tale.

Our Conclusion:
We think that this is one of the most famous bingo sites as their marketing is second to none. Everyone who has TV will be familiar with the adverts featuring Barbara Windsor acting as the queen of jackpots. The site isn't packed with rotating images and doesn't have overloads of information; it is the most clutter-free bingo site we have seen around for a while.
User Reviews
very nice, very slick and easy to use. One of the best games out there i think.
Some enjoyable games and the free ones are just as good as the pre-pay games.
