@stttories I really like flixfindr especially the UI and UX, I wish I had such good design skills. They solved the problem of aggregating all streaming services in one place which isn't easy to do. For me the feature I wanted the most was IMDB ratings and I couldn't find a site that would allow me to do that, so I decided to build one. I'm really happy that you like the mobile site. Initially FlickSurfer was desktop only, but after my friend posted the site on Reddit without telling me I saw that 50% of users where accessing the site via mobile, that made me quickly realise I had to pull an all-nighter to add a mobile site (doing that on a Wednesday night was pretty painful :)). Thanks again for the feedback.
Hey guys, I'm the developer of FlickSurfer. Happy to answer any questions you may have (there might be a few hours of lag as it's already 2am here).
@eriktorenberg I was looking for a site which allowed sorting Netflix catalog by IMDB ratings and I couldn't find one. I knew that after Amazon released Amazon Instant Video there was very little to no chance that Netflix would ever add this feature (since Amazon owns IMDB) so I decided to build it myself. It was also a good opportunity to do some NLP work and to play with elasticsearch which I wanted to use for a while. In terms of where I want to take the site, I want to add features based on user feedback. Right now by far the two most requested features are support for other Netflix regions and support for other streaming services. They are quite big tasks but I'll do my best to add them depending on my availability (haven't decided which feature I should focus on first).
@ourielohayon great suggestion about the alert system will definitely be adding it! I tried to make the site mobile friendly as best as I could, which screen resolutions are you after?
Love it...feel like I've used other similar search products but for some reason I find it easier to discover something new on yours. Seems easier to pick multiple categories and I love the ability to search by average rating. Good stuff!
@Hello_BenHere thanks a lot, really happy that you find it useful!
Nice tool. But still no Japan Netflix. Hope, they will add it too.

Baku Telephone Communications Production Association will launch the Secure Internet project in the near future, a source in the telecommunication market of Azerbaijan told Trend on June 5.
The project is aimed at helping users of the BakinterNet Internet service provider in filtering unwanted Internet content.
The content filtering service will protect children from the influence of inappropriate sites by limiting their access to certain digital content. These include web pages containing adult content, gambling, profanity, information promoting violence, etc. Users will be granted access only to trusted Internet sites, which have been filtered and comprise only useful information.
The service will not be limited only to ensuring the safety of children and the younger generation from the negative influence of the global network. It also provides protection from viruses, phishing, etc.
In Azerbaijan, with over 9.8 million people, about 77 percent of the population has an internet connection.
Today, children start their acquaintance with high technology and the Internet from early infancy. Adults should realize both physiological and psychological danger of the Internet and all the means to access it.
Earlier, the Teaching and Innovation Center of the Institute of Information Technologies of ANAS reported it will create a center of child safety on the Internet. The Center will be engaged in an intellectual analysis of the obtained information, thus playing an important role in solving this problem.

John Edward Weik, 47, of Moncks Corner, was given a death sentence for murder and a life sentence for burglary after killing his ex-girlfriend in Knightsville in 1998.
But Wednesday's ruling indicates Weik's attorneys didn't do enough to present jurors with mitigating circumstances that could have convinced them to forgo the death penalty. One of his attorneys, in fact, is now suspended from practicing law.

This weekend Skipton (2) Horse Trials in North Yorkshire kicked off both the BE90 and BE100 Mitsubishi Motors Regional Finals for qualification to the 2019 Mitsubishi Motors Cup.
Next year the Mitsubishi Motors Cup will celebrate its 10th anniversary of running at the iconic Badminton Estate in Gloucestershire as it takes place on the two days preceding the CCI4* horse trials on 30th April – 1st May 2019.
Samantha Jimmison and Inola Smith's Upsalls Lorna picked up their place to next year's championships with a win in the BE100 Mitsubishi Motors Regional Final thanks to their dressage score of 25.8 penalties and nothing to add from the jumping phases. No stranger to the special atmosphere that the Mitsubishi Motors Cup, Samantha has competed previously in the BE100 final in 2017 and the BE90 in 2016.
Collecting his first qualification to the Mitsubishi Motors Cup; Chris Fairs' impressive finishing score of 16.8 penalties secured him the win – and qualification – in the BE90 section I on his own eight year old gelding Whinchat. Ellis Morton put in a similarly brilliant dressage score in section J of the BE90 to win on her dressage score of 16.5 with Della Morton's DHI Sambuca.
Other notable qualifiers include Laura Greenhalgh who came third in the Mitsubishi Motors Regional Final BE90 section J on Sarah Reeve's Stanhopes Travelling Man; the 2019 Mitsubishi Motors Cup would make it their third time there as a combination having competed in 2016 and again in 2018 where they placed 11th. Carly Woolley who gained a top 20 position at the 2018 Mitsubishi Motors Cup on Grand Illusion collected her qualification in the BE90 after coming second in section I.
Thanks to generous title sponsor Mitsubishi Motors, the winner of each Mitsubishi Motors Cup section will drive away a brand new Mitsubishi Motors vehicle for one year along with prize money, rosettes and rugs, and enjoy the thrill of competing on the same site as the international CCI4*, Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials next year.

Guidance for Parents
What will students be studying in Mandarin this year?
In Year 9, students will start studying Jin Bu Book 2. It is a topic-based book which provides a good progression route towards the study of GCSE Mandarin Chinese. Students will learn more vocabulary and grammar used in Chinese daily life and develop a good insight into Chinese culture.
Expectations of Students in Mandarin
The Year 9 Mandarin course takes place after school for an hour and during lunch break for half an hour each week with a potential progression route to study GCSE Chinese in Years 10 and 11. In view of its accelerated nature, students have every opportunity to develop their ability to be independent learners. To this end, self-assessment is an important element of the course and the completion of weekly homework on an aspect of vocabulary and grammar is especially important.
What are the major assessments this year?
Year 9 students will have an end of year exam. Also at the end of each term, there will be an End of Unit test based on Speaking and Writing. The Listening and Reading assessment will take place during their homework and lesson time.
What will the current performance grade be based on, and what do the levels mean?
The current performance grades are based on all the work students complete this year, including classwork and homework as well as End of Unit tests. Oral contributions to class work and discussion will also form part of the assessment. The current performance grade encompasses all these elements.
What should my daughter do if she feels she is struggling in the subject?
In the first instance, she should speak to her subject teacher. She should try to identify specific areas of the subject which she is finding a challenge so that we can offer targeted support. Additional exercises can be found online with free registration: http://www.memrise.com/course/56836/jinbu-2/,
bbc bitesize Mandarin
How can I support my daughter in Year 9?
The best way to support your daughter is by taking an interest in her work in Mandarin. No prior knowledge is required! Indeed if you have never studied Mandarin you might find it interesting for your daughter to share some of her learning with you as this is a powerful way for her to reinforce her knowledge and understanding of the subject. Do offer to help with testing vocabulary. Look out for interesting video clips and television programmes about Chinese culture which can enlarge your daughter's knowledge about life in China.
What kind of independent work should my daughter be completing?
To do well in Chinese, students should practise and develop vocabulary and speaking skills on a regular basis. Students will be set regular homework targeted at different topics with core vocabulary and grammar. Students need to take responsibility for regular revision of all aspects of language.
Who can I contact for further advice and information?

Ayaka- Sing to the Sky
Ayaka is a relative newcomer on the j-pop scene. She took a hiatus in 2009 with the release of her last best album -Ayaka's history. Ayaka's voice is very powerful and she belts which is unusual on the j-pop scene (they have few belters). I personally love her voice because it is so strong and melodious at the same time. Her style basically includes ballads, ballad-like pop songs and rock/pop.
Sing to the sky is Ayaka's second album. Her First Message album was a major hit in Japan, selling over a million copies and so was her debut single "I believe" which debuted at #3 and sold almost 4,00,000 copies. Sing to the sky It reached #2 on teh oricon charts and sold in excess of 5,00,000 copies (almost half of her first album)
1. POWER OF MUSIC- Is the first track and opens the album on a very cheerful and upbeat tone. It is a very jazzy pop track where Ayaka's voice sounds relaxed and there is a lot of background vocals which makes it appear as if she is singing this song live in a club. A good track.
2.Ai wo Utaou- An average pop track lifted out of its averageness by ayaka's vocals. It still doesn't shine, though. I really hate it when Ayaka does such sub-standard pop songs. She is wasting her voice.
3.Sky- The melody was good but the arragement made it hard to distinguish Sky from her other pop tracks. The chorus is powerful where Ayaka starts belting.
4.Jewelry Day- If there is one thing Ayaka excels at, it is gorgeous ballads. No matter how powerful or mellow, she carries it off perfectly. Jewelry Day is not an exception. One of the best and most soothing tracks on this album had just a single guitar accompaniment in the beginning and a jazzy feel. An outstanding track.
5.Good Night Baby- A not very interesting track which does not stand out due to it mellowness.
6.For Today- A rockish, carnival-like happy track in which ayaka belts for most part. Great energy.
7.Why- It starts off very mysteriously. Ayaka's vocals are the main focus since the arrangement is very light. This track showcases Ayaka's true vocal potential.
8.Gold Star- The worst song on this album without doubt. Ayaka is trying to be edgy but she sounds drunk.
9.Mahotsukai no Shiwaza- A jazzy song which sounds very calm. It sounds like a children's lullaby. It is pretty short but still shines in the album.
10. Te wo tsunagou- A very mellow and average pop track. Even ayaka's vocals lack their usual power. This song exudes "averageness" in every note.
11.Ai mo uso mo shinjitsu- A pprretty solid allbum track with ayaka's signature jazz-rock mix. Her voice is lower but the chorus is amazing.
12.CLAP AND LOVE- I really adored this song the first few times I heard it because ayaka's vocals were so powerful, but gradually it started sounding less like a song and more like poetry. CLAP AND LOVE lacks melody.
13. Kimi ga iru Kara- A good pop track which, while nothing outstanding doesn't have any major flaws.
14. Okaeri- A pleasant and mellow pop track.
15. Konya Hoshi wo dakarete- The best album track. Ayaka's voice sounds so emotional and her dynamics are perfect. The arrangement doesn't interfere with her voice but makes it shine even more.
Rating- 4.6
16. Winding Road- Ayaka's collaboration with Kobukuro. A good track made great by the strong vocals of three of the best pop singers in the present j-pop scene. A must-listen.
Overall, Sing to the sky was good. The single tracks clearly outshone the album tracks but ayaka gave us a few surprises with Konya hoshi wo dakarete, Mahotsukai no shiwaza, POWER OF MUSIC and ai mo uso mo shinjitsu. The biggest drawback of this album was that it was dominated by avrage and filler pop tracks for most of the duration.
Pros- Ayaka's strong voice and mind-blowing ballads.
Cons- The rest of the tracks were "average and boring" at best.

Our Daily Bread [Mani Kaul, 1970]:
In the opening sequence, the dutiful wife Balo, the protagonist of the film, waits patiently at a bus stop for the arrival of her husband, the impetuous Sucha Singh. The man - a municipal bus driver - spends his weeks in the city, returning home only on the weekends, before he's off again; moving from town to town, betwixt worlds. Each day, his bus passes the main road close to Balo's village. The woman - his faithful wife - makes the gruelling trek to greet him. Waiting, with a lunch pail in hand in the hope that his bus might stop to pick up a passenger, is more than an obligation. It's a daily ritual. A way for this woman to maintain some semblance of a relationship, or to lessen the loneliness that this life of servitude and routine has forced upon her. To make matters worse, the chatter of the local gossip seems to imply infidelity. Could Sucha Singh have a second wife in the city; one that he spends his weeks with? For Balo, the possibility of this is devastating. Kaul communicates the feeling of intense sadness by isolating the character within the frame; creating "interior" moments, where time seems to slow to a crawl; where her loneliness becomes unbearable. Later, as if to add to the film's wounded tone, the filmmaker evokes suicide. The body of a young woman is pulled from the river, but the fragmented narrative leaves us uncertain of victim's true identity. If this is Balo, then how does she return to reconcile in the film's final act?
The editing of the film is both vague and indefinite. Characters drift in and out of the narrative; scenes seem to reoccur, until we realise that it's just the repetition of days. Jump cuts are used to disrupt time; creating the feeling of hours passing in minutes, the time slipping away. The film breaks continuity, making the progression of the narrative difficult to follow. In several sequences, the action seems to be presented as if a memory, or as if we're witnessing the life of one character through the eyes of another. As with Duvidha (1973), a later work by the same director, the film seems critical of the way women are treated by the culture. The loneliness of these women, left to tend to the running of the house and its endless list of chores while the husband goes off to work and to socialise, is central to both films. This social commentary is beautifully realised, but it is on a level of pure filmmaking that Our Daily Bread truly transcends. The 'Bressonian' approach of the actors, both mannered and withdrawn, is subtly affecting, while the quality of its cinematography recalls Dreyer and his masterpiece Ordet (1955). The purity of the image, where the brightness of a summer's day obliterates all detail, suffused as it is by a holy glow, is staggering. The scenes throughout, tranquil and pastoral in presentation, establish the loneliness of this world, the isolation of it. The unearthly, almost ghostly aspect, which comes to define the life of its character, is captured within every static frame.
Light Sleeper [Paul Schrader, 1992]:
The territory, as defined by the film's title sequence, is immediately recognisable. An open road, leading nowhere. An endless stretch into the black hell of an infernal city; the city of the damned. The fog of a film noir street scene shrouds the air like a storm cloud, obscuring everything; making the journey both formless and indistinct. The car moves at a sombre crawl through these lonely streets, its headlights blazing, garbage lining road. In the backseat, high-class drug dealer John LeTour is the condemned man; his face full of anguish and pity; numb to the experience. The song on the soundtrack communicates his thoughts through verse, establishing a recurrent leitmotif, where the music becomes a way of expressing the thoughts too painful to be spoken or felt. "And it feels..." the lyrics lament, "...like the world's on fire." Through the iconography, or through the presentation of the character, this could be Taxi Driver (1976) or the later scenes of American Gigolo (1980) - that same loneliness, the late night despair - but it isn't. Nonetheless, it's classic Schrader. Another dark night of the soul; another God's lonely man, still searching for redemption. The title alone establishing the restless nature of this protagonist; his purgatory-like existence as a lost spirit, hovering, in limbo, between life and death.
From the outset, LeTour is being introduced as the archetypical Schrader character. An outsider, defined by his job, his adopted "role." Like Travis in Taxi Driver, or Julian in American Gigolo, his life has become a series of appointments, encounters, but on a strictly professional level. His time away from the job seems empty and meaningless; his barren apartment, where he sits, shirtless, writing his thoughts in a journal ("fill one up, throw it out, start another one" he muses) reflects the emptiness of this existence; the life without passion or memory. It is this feeling of intense loneliness that defines the film. The loss and longing, which finds its most moving expression in the relationship between LeTour and his former lover, Marianne. They meet, by chance, after an absence of several years. She's cleaned up, got herself straight. There's a tension there. He loves her. She loves him too. But she recognises that he's still a link to that world; that past life of violence and addiction. They spend the night together, but in the morning she leaves. The look on LeTour's face - bathed in the neon-green glow of an adjacent street sign - is devastating in its vulnerability as he is denied the only reflection of hope that made life for him worth living.
Like so many characters in Schrader's work, LeTour is seeking salvation through self-destruction. He knows that the path he has chosen to walk is a dangerous one, but he embraces it, regardless. Even when his better judgement tries to steer him clear, tries to wake him up to the inevitable violence that awaits him at the end of this lonesome road - this phantom ride - he's compelled to continue. Like Taxi Driver, this is a bleak work - a film about the worst kind of loneliness; the loneliness that hits us in a room full of people when we realise that inability to connect - but with the redemption of American Gigolo; the hope for absolution. The appearance of Dafoe as LeTour gives the film its emotion; its wailing heart. The way Schrader uses Dafoe, making the most of those stern features - at first hard and threatening, but then punctured by a sadness, both honest and true - recalls the way Scorsese had used him in The Last Temptation of Christ (1988); finding something of the martyr in his fall from grace. The final scene, which brings us back to American Gigolo via the Bresson of Pickpocket (1959), presents LeTour almost as a saintly figure; his supplier, Ann, becoming Mary Magdalene, as he kisses her hand for forgiveness. It's the final perfect expression of what Schrader himself once referred to as the transcendental style.
Querelle [Rainer Werner Fassbinder, 1982]:
How to describe a work like Querelle? As a 'haunted' film? A 'violent' film? A film submersed in the feelings of pain and self-pity? A film where powerful emotions, like anger, bitterness, shame and regret, find expression in every facet of the film; from the use of colour, to the language, to the use of space? The world of the film - this seedy port; this dream of Brest created on a stifling soundstage - presents a world of brutality and suffering. A world where men and women, looking for an escape, lose themselves in squalid bars or smoky bordellos; disappearing into the mire of indulgence via the various backstreets and passageways that run through the town, like veins through the body. The port of 'Querelle', at least in Fassbinder's mind, is like an elaborate fantasy. A Burroughsian 'Interzone', alive with the desires and the compulsions of its shiftless characters, corrupt and uncontrolled. The entire film, bathed as it is in a yellow-green light or the glow of an artificial sun, suggests this corruption - this sickness - on a visual level. The moral decay of the characters, as a corporal thing - the port, with its vaginal canals and its obviously phallic lighthouses - turns the harbour itself into a living being (like a body with a broken heart), but it's also the decay of the mind, as much as the body, that overwhelms the thing. The loneliness, the desire and the desperation of these characters, creating an illness or obsession that is manifest in every aspect of the work.
A film where the colour suggests the psychological deterioration of its characters, while the use of space seems to trap them, crushing the spirit, or ensnaring them in the pain of their own desires. The walls, closing in, the streets leading nowhere; the fortifications, like giant erections trailing testicular mounds, remind the characters at every turn of their own physicality, or the physicality of their particular obsessions; their lust and indignation. Through this, the entire experience of the film is like being trapped within the mind of a character suffering through his own nightmare of guilt and grief; trying to make sense of it through projection, or dramatisation. So a 'confessional' film, perhaps? An admission of remorse or culpability for the way these character are exploited or misused, but not necessarily from the protagonists - the titular Querelle (the violent sailor who arrives in Brest to reconcile with his brother, Robert) or Lieutenant Seblon (whose sexual repression and urge to possess Querelle gives subtext to this narrative of corruption) - but from Fassbinder himself. One could argue that his Querelle is not simply an adaptation of Genet's novel, but perhaps an attempt by Fassbinder to reconcile his own feelings of remorse following the suicide of his abused lover Armin Meier in 1978 or the subsequent death of his former lover El Hedi ben Salem in a French prison in 1982. In this respect, the film is a painful and wounded acknowledgement of the way obsession and desire - that need to possess - can destroy lives, or the dream of life, as it does for the characters of Querelle.

Bank of America has a couple of different POS systems that are portable if that's what you're looking for. I use Square. It attaches to my Iphone and I'm able to take payments in person and over the phone. And the money is deposited in my account the next day. If you don't have a smart phone I'm pretty sure you can also put in the payment info online, but I've never tried so I'm not sure. There's also paypal. You can invoice people and collect payment pretty quickly. BUT your customers has to have a paypal account. I've heard a rumor that they're also coming out with a system kind of like Square that you'll be able to use with your phone. Hope that helped!
Re: New BusinessWesmaster Jun 8, 2012 6:54 AM (in response to teresita669)
Look into Square and other competitors that let you take payments on your smart phone. Even PayPal will allow you to enter credit cards (they call it "virtual terminal") without having to set up a merchant account.

Re: New BusinessYesYouCan Jul 6, 2012 7:39 PM (in response to teresita669)
If you do not already have a website to market your flowers and promote your services, you might want to consider a full ecommerce site package. Some are fairly inexpensive and offer all that you would need - website - email marketing - ability to take payment - etc. Google "ecommerce website" for listing of what is available.
If you are staying local, a listing on Google Local and B of A's Square that BMPhoto mentioned is a pretty good choice, although I'd still suggest a website (use your old business name as the domain name if available).
Re: New BusinessD2x2993 Jul 7, 2012 8:23 PM (in response to teresita669)
You can also set up a Paypal account. It will allow your customers to use their credit card but it goes through the Paypal account for a small fee.
I used to have a Flower Shop that i just recently sold.
I now have a home based flower sales & service and I need to be
able to accept credit cards so I can accept orders from my old
customers without having to use a credit card machine.
I have a sellers permit, business license and small business
bank account fr. B of A. Is there a good company out there
that can help me with this?

In awe of his talent. Maggie Gyllenhaal recalled how much she admired the late Heath Ledger when the two worked together on The Dark Knight.
Remembering Heath Ledger: 10 Years After His Death
Gyllenhaal and Ledger starred as Bruce Wayne's (Christian Bale) love interest, Rachel Dawes, and The Joker, respectively, in the critically acclaimed Batman film, which was released six months after the actor's sudden death in January 2008 at age 28 from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.
Heath Ledger, Jared Leto, Jack Nicholson and More Stars Who Played The Joker: Photos
"I remember coming to work and seeing him — that scene where The Joker throws me off a roof — and seeing him come in and start to do what he was doing, you know, which was the first time I saw it," the 40-year-old actress recalled during her Wednesday, October 10, appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. "And I thought — and I still think about this sometimes — it's so hard to be good in a huge movie like that, that's not about the acting, really. It's so much easier to be good in, like, a little tiny movie where, you know, it's all about you."
Most Shocking Celebrity Deaths of All Time
Gyllenhaal went on to further compliment the actor, who was posthumously awarded an Oscar for his portrayal of the villain: "To be amazing like the way Heath was in a movie that's got explosions and, like, huge stunt scenes and big sets is like a whole other thing, and I don't know if anyone's ever, ever done that as well as he did in The Dark Knight."
"It felt like that on set too," she added. "You were like, 'Whoa. Oh, OK. You're on a whole other level.'"
Gyllenhaal's brother, Jake Gyllenhaal, counted his Brokeback Mountain costar as a longtime friend. "I miss him as a human being and I miss working with him, and what an unfortunate thing it is that we won't be able to see the beauty of his expression," the Life actor, 37, told NPR's Terry Gross in July 2015.
Jake, who is also the godfather of Ledger's 12-year-old daughter Matilda with ex-girlfriend Michelle Williams, continued: "He was incredibly special and that doesn't even come close to encapsulating who he is, who he was."

ORANGE, NJ – The Orange High School varsity football team lost to Mahwah, 15-12, in its home opener Friday, Sept. 15, at Bell Stadium. The Tornadoes moved to 1-1.
OHS was riding a high coming off a huge road win in the season opener over Ferris HS in Jersey City, 47-6. But the Tornadoes had a test on their hands with the defending North Jersey Section 1, Group 2 state champion Thunderbirds.
Orange, led by quarterback George Crespo and wide receiver/defensive back Nyquee Hawkins, had some early issues with turnovers and costly penalties that were the difference maker during the contest. The Thunderbirds, on the other hand, were coming off a big 41-21 loss to rival Westwood in last week's season opener.
With both teams playing to a draw in the first quarter, the Thunderbirds struck first in the second. Mahwah was in the midst of an eight-play, 62-yard march that started late in the first quarter. Led by sophomore quarterback Kyle Teel (4-9, 52 yards, 1 interception) and senior running back Sam Mintz (eight carries for 72 yards), the Thunderbirds found themselves knocking on the door of Orange's goal line twice in the span of two minutes nearing the midpoint of the second quarter. The first time. the Tornadoes were able to force a fumble and take over on their own 9-yard line. But the Thunderbirds reclaimed the ball on a forced Tornadoes fumble three plays later. That set up a 5-yard scoot into the end zone by Mintz, giving the T-Birds a 6-0 lead with just 5:18 left in the half.
Crespo and Hawkins had an immediate answer with a 69-yard screen pass, but a costly penalty erased the touchdown. Mahwah took advantage of the costly mistake to force Orange to punt with 2:06 left in the first half. It would be Mintz again two plays later, squeeking through the Orange defense untouched for 30 yards with just less than two minutes left in the first half.
Crespo had to find his targets quickly in order to avoid being shut out for the half. In quick succession, he orchestrated a blazing five-play drive with the help of senior fullback Jair McClary's two big gains of 15 yards and 20 yards. Crespo found Hawkins for two quick passes before connecting with senior tight end Mahkye Boswell on a stretching 18-yard touchdown pass in the back corner of the end zone.
With Orange receiving the kickoff in the second half, Mahwah found a way to force yet another fumble, but they were forced to trade three-and-outs, turnovers on downs, a few punts and a Tornado fumble for the scoreless third quarter. Orange, with just 55 ticks left in the third quarter, began a seven-play surge that culminated with a 15-yard dash to the end zone by Crespo with 10:45 left in the fourth quarter. Orange pulled even 12-12 with time still on the clock and the defense was holding the Thunderbirds out of the red zone. Mahwah went on an 11-play, 40-yard march that ate under six minutes off the clock. Mahwah sent sophomore kicker Devin Yang out to boot a 37-yard field goal for the go-ahead 15-12 score with just 5:05 left in the game. Orange had just one more shot to avoid being upstaged by the Thunderbirds. Crespo (7-12, 75 yards, 1 TD; 20 carries for 121 yards, 1 TD) marshaled his squad down field in eight plays spanning 62 yards, but wasn't able to convert the touchdown, leaving Mahwah with just 30 seconds to take a knee and spoil Orange's home opener. "We had the play in end zone. but the pass just missed our wide receiver," OHS head coach Randy Daniel. "We were looking for the right opportunity to spring the trap, but the late penalty was the difference maker for us. We will look forward to another good game next week against West Essex as we congratulate Coach Christopher Diaz's squad on a close game that could've gone either way."
Orange will host West Essex on Saturday, Sept. 23, at 1 p.m.

Teen Talk – Christian Rock and Roll Unvield
Dear readers,
Here are some testimonies from teens to consider. The web link is below.
Teen Talk
"'Christian rock' music has probably been the biggest hindrance to my spiritual growth. When I first heard this kind of music, it really bothered my spirit. But then this music was brought into my church. The more I heard it, the less it bothered me. The less it bothered me, the more I listened to it.
"It wasn't long before I was involved in secular rock music because I didn't see any difference. This music caused me to resist the Lord and hold parts of my life back from Him. I was not able to have a freedom to truly serve Him and be totally dedicated to Him until I was willing to give up this music."
A Sixteen-Year-Old Student From Florida
"I listened to rock music for about four years and it was not 'Christian rock' because I always thought it was so hypocritical to listen to Christian rock. At least I was honest about it and I did not pretend to be somebody I wasn't.
"So, after the first couple of times I was already addicted to it. The reason I started is because everybody always thought I was, 'goody-goody.' They would say, 'Hey, did you hear that song?' or 'Have you ever heard this group?' I would say, 'No, I don't listen to rock.' "I began by listening to 'soft rock' and progressed to heavy metal. It really had a strong effect on my life. Now my church plays 'Christian rock' and I see it ruining many kids in our youth group. It is so sad. It has ruined kids that were so sweet."
A Sixteen-Year-Old Student From Texas
"I was following the Lord wholeheartedly until we switched churches and I was invited to the new youth group. I had a conviction against rock music, but as I was surrounded by it, my beliefs were corrupted. This music eventually led to rebellion and moral failures. The Lord has gained victory in my life now, but the music still brings on rebellion if I listen to it. Please get rid of this music and play melodious, harmonious music!"
A Fifteen-Year-Old Student From Pennsylvania
"'Christian rock' had made me a shallow, rebellious young Christian. It made it easy for me to get into regular rock music. When I finally submitted to God and got the rock music out of my life, I was able to see the double standard that is lived out by 'Christian rock' musicians.
" 'Christian rock' does not praise God and it is worse than regular rock because I think it is hypocritical. Rock is wrong and addictive and has contributed to my moral failure. I praise God for His help in releasing me from it."
An Eighteen-Year-Old Student From Indiana
"About four years ago, a local Christian radio station began broadcasting 'rock' of the 'Christian variety.' At first, I accepted only the light stuff. Within months, I found myself listening to heavier and heavier stuff. I thank God that my parents and I came to an agreement on the music I will listen to. I can see how it has affected the lives of some who at one time were my closest friends. I still enjoy easy classical music, but they are into heavy worldly rock and the lifestyle that goes with it. Just a few weeks ago, God convicted me of what I once considered super-soft, contemporary music. I threw the tape away and thank God for the conviction that brought me to do it."
A Twenty-Year-Old Student From Kansas
"I began to listen to 'Christian rock' without the blessing of my father. He told me that if I listened to 'Christian rock' it would open the door for Satan. I just laughed, and listened anyway. It totally deadened my Christian growth and led to terrible immorality, rebellion, and rejection of God. It then developed into secular, hard rock. Now all I can do is go back and pick up the pieces. But I still have a scar in my life that will never be removed."
A Sixteen-Year-Old Student From Oklahoma
There are many more such testimonies: http://www.av1611.org/crock/crockids.html
"But whoever shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." (Matthew 18:6)
Condensed and edited:
Christian Rockers and Secular Rockers United
The following examples could be multiplied endlessly:
AUDIO ADRENALINE'S Bloom album includes the song "Free Ride" from the Edgar Winter Group's They Only Come out at Night album. Rock star Edgar Winter was featured on the cover of this wicked album dressed as a homosexual "drag queen." The lyrics to "Free Ride" claim that "all of the answers come from within." This is rank heresy, because we know that the answers do not come from within man's fallen heart, but from God's revelation in the Bible.
FOURTH WATCH cites groups like U2, the Police, Genesis, Pete Townshend, and the Alarm as major influences. "MEMBERS LISTEN TO A GREAT DEAL OF MAINSTREAM MUSIC, MAKING NO APOLOGIES FOR IT, and they express a desire to play clubs and other non-church settings" (CCM Magazine, April 1987, p. 19).
RANDY STONEHILL "listens to all kinds of music," including hard secular rock (Devlin Donaldson, "Rockin' Randy," CCM Magazine, August 1983).
PHIL KEAGGY performs an unholy combination of secular rock and Christian rock/folk, and those who listen to his music are drawn toward worldly rock & roll. On his 1993 Crimson and Blue album, for example, he pays "homage to the Beatles" by covering several of their songs.
When ASHLEY CLEVELAND was asked what music was on her stereo, she replied, "Living With Ghosts, Patty Griffin; What's The Story Morning Glory, Oasis; Exile On Main Street, the Rolling Stones" (http://www.ashleycleveland.com/acfacts.htm). In her concerts, Ashley performs a very gritty rendition of the Rolling Stones hit "Gimme Shelter."
CAEDMON'S CALL said their greatest love in music is secular rock. They mentioned Indigo Girls, Shawn Colvin, David Wilcox, The Police, Fishbone, 10,000 Maniacs (Lighthouse Electronic Magazine). The group often performs Beatles music. Cliff Young said one of his favorites is the foul-mouthed Alanis Morrisette. He mocked a preacher who warns that Christian musicians should not listen to secular rock and said that he listens to secular rock & rollers because "they are being honest [about] struggles that they go through."
STEVE CAMP says, "I'll have a Foreigner 4 album going in my car." He also says: "I am dedicated to good music whether it's pop, Christian, gospel, R&B, blues, jazz,
classical, rock or whatever. I just love good music" (Steve Camp, MusicLine magazine, Feb. 1986, p. 22).
JARS OF CLAY names Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles as their inspiration (Dann Denny, "Christian Rock," Sunday Herald Times, Bloomington, Ind., Feb. 8, 1998). The lead guitarist for Jars of Clay is said to be a "Beatles fanatic" (Christian News, Dec. 8, 1997). When asked by Christianity Today to list their musical influences, Jars of Clay members "listed no Christian artists" (Christianity Today, Nov. 15, 1999). Jars of Clay performs Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" during their concerts. Osbourne is the filthy-mouthed former lead singer for the occultic rock group Black Sabbath.
Dana Key (of DEGARMO & KEY) says that he has been influenced most by B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix, and Billy Gibbons (of ZZ Top) (CCM Magazine, January 1989, p. 30).
POINT OF GRACE, on their Life, Love and Other Mysteries album, recorded "Sing a Song" by the occultic, antichrist rock group Earth, Wind and Fire.
The worldliness of DELIRIOUS is evident in their choice of "musical heroes," which include "Radiohead, Blur and other big British modern rockers" (CCM magazine, July 1999, p. 39).
The group DELIVERANCE performs songs by secular rock groups. Their What a Joke album has the song "After Forever" by the vile, blasphemous, pagan rock group Black Sabbath.
When asked what is currently in her CD player, CRYSTAL LEWIS replied: "Michael Jackson, Thriller; Billy Holliday; Led Zeppelin; Radiohead, Ok Computer; Radiohead, Kid A; and Sting, Nothing Like the Sun ("Ten Questions with Chrystal Lewis," CCM Magazine, March 2002).
The popular group THIRD DAY also loves secular rock. Michael Herman of Christianity Today asked the members of Third Day to "name a musician you'd pay to see in concert." All five members of the band named secular rockers. Tai named U2; Brad, the Cars; David, Phil Collins; Mac, Tom Petty; and Mark, George Harrison ("Guy Talk" interview posted at Christianity Today web site, Feb. 26, 2002). Anyone familiar with the music and atmosphere at secular rock concerts should know that a Bible believer has no business there. "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them" (Eph. 5:11).
In the video for the Rock & Worship Roadshow Tour (2011), MERCYME covers the Beatles song "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da."
Why is it that contemporary Christian musicians can be so comfortable with secular rock? I believe it is because so many CCM artists worship a false god.
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."
Rock music is clearly characterized by "the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eyes, and the pride of life." A better definition has never been written.
James warned that it is spiritual adultery to love the world and God, too.
"Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God" (James 4:4).
One reason why contemporary Christian music lovers do not separate from rock & roll is that they worship the same god as secular rockers.
It is the god that is experienced through sensual passions.
As we have seen, rock & rollers can be religiously passionate about their music and they often speak of it in terms of a spiritual experience.
The Doors wanted their audience "to undergo a religious experience."
Bob Marley's concerns were "like church … a spiritual high."
Grateful Dead concerts are "a place to worship" and "bear uncanny resemblance to religious festivals."
Muddy Waters said that "blues was his religion."
Judas Priest said that rock music isn't just music; it's "a philosophy and a way of life."
Michael Jackson said, "When I am dancing, I have felt touched by something sacred."
George Harrison said, "Music is very involved with the spiritual."
Brian Eno described his discovery of rock & roll as "a spiritual experience."
Obviously, these rockers are not talking about having communion with the God of the Bible. They worship a different god. He is non-judgmental, sensual, even sexual, and puts no obligations on people, letting them "follow their hearts."
This is exactly the god worshiped by many CCM artists.
The false CCM non-judgmental, universalistic god is represented by emerging church leaders such as Brian McLaren and Rob Bell, both of whom are very popular with CCM artists. One Christian rocker told us that these writings "resonate" with him.
The "old-fashioned" Bible believer says with the writer of Hebrews, "Our God is a consuming fire" (Hebrews 12:29). The emerging church says, "Our God is not a consuming fire."
Rocking Rob Bell believes God is more akin to New Age panentheism than the God of the Bible. He describes God as "a force, an energy, a being calling out to us in many languages, using a variety of methods and events" (Love Wins, location 1710-1724).
"There is an energy in the world, a spark, an electricity that everything is plugged into. The Greeks called it zoe, the mystics call it 'Spirit,' and Obi-Wan called it 'the Force'" (Love Wins, location 1749-1762).
Many of the CCM artists worship A REBEL CHRIST, which is certainly a false christ. Mark Stuart of Audio Adrenaline says, "Jesus Christ is the biggest rebel to ever walk the face of the earth" (Pensacola News Journal, Pensacola, Fla., March 1, 1998, pp. 1, 6E). Sonny of P.O.D. says, "We believe that Jesus was the first rebel; the first punk rocker" (http://www.shoutweb.com/interviews/pod0700.phtml). This is absolute blasphemy. The Bible says rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft (1 Sam. 15:23). A rebel is a lawbreaker, but Christ was the lawgiver who He came to earth to fulfill the requirements of His own law (Mat. 5:17-19). Christ was not crucified for rebellion; He was crucified for testifying that He is God (John 10:33).
Many of the CCM artists worship A ROCK & ROLL PARTY CHRIST. In his Live … Radically Saved video Carman says, "Jesus is always cool; He's got his thing together." In Resurrection Rap Carman portrays Jesus as a street hippie; in The Standard he calls Jesus "J.C."; and in Addicted to Jesus he speaks of "Jammin' with the Lamb." Petra claims that "God gave rock and roll to you/ Put it in the soul of every one." In "Party in Heaven" the Daniel Band sang, "The Lamb and I are drinkin' new wine." Phil Driscoll says, "God is the King of Soul; He's the King of all rhythm" (quoted by Tim Fisher, Battle for Christian Music, p. 82). Messiah Prophet Band says, "Jesus is the Master of Metal," and Barren Cross says, "Better than pot, Jesus rocks." John Fischer described God as puffing on a cigar and swaying to rock music (CCM Magazine, July 1984, p. 20), while J. Lee Grady says Jesus enjoys dancing with the angels and "grooving to the sound of Christian R&B pumped out of a boom box" (Charisma, July 2000).
The fact that the CCM crowd typically worships a different kind of god than the "old-fashioned" Biblicist, is why they are perfectly comfortable using music that has been identified as "sexy" by the secular world.
"… that is what rock is all about–sex with a 100-megaton bomb, the beat" (Gene Simmons of KISS, Entertainment Tonight, ABC, Dec. 10, 1987).
Note that Simmons was not referring to the words of rock music; he was referring to the music itself and particularly to its backbeat rhythm.
Music researchers Daniel and Bernadette Skubik, in their study on the neurophysiology of rock music, warned:
"Whether the words are evil, innocuous, or based in Holy Scripture, the overall neurophysiological effects generated by rock music remain the same. There is simply no such thing as Christian rock that is substantively different in its impact" ("The Neurophysiology of Rock," an Appendix to Ken Blanchard's Pop Goes the Gospel, pp. 187ff).
The reason this statement doesn't bother a CCM defender is because he sees Jesus as a non-judgmental rock & roll party Dude who loves a good time.
"Those who envision God as a special friend, a kind of lover, with whom they can have fun, see no problem in worshipping him by means of physically stimulating music. On the other hand, those who perceive God as a majestic, holy, and almighty Being to be approached with awe and reverence will only use the music that elevates them spiritually" (Samuele Bacchiocchi, The Christian and Rock Music).
The above CCM facts were emailed from Fundamental Baptist Information Service
This all reveals the satanic church in all its glory. I mean Bible churches of today who call themselves Christian; yet, approve of so-called Christian contemporary groups and singers that adore satan worshipping rockers that hate the holy and undefiled LORD Jesus Christ; Hebrews 7:26.
History of Rock and Roll
The phrase "Rock and Roll" was first used back in 1951 by Cleveland music disc jockey Allan Freed to as a description relating to the sound of teenagers committing fornication (premarital sex), such as in the back seat of a car while listening to such rock music. "Rock and Roll Music" is therefore by definition a synonym for "Fornication Music", since that is where the term arose. "Christian Rock Music", (also known as "Contemporary Christian Music"), therefore literally means "Christian Fornication Music."
The Bible says, "But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;" (Ephesians 5:3). All Christians are to "Flee fornication." (1 Corinthians 6:18a)
Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) is mostly wicked in intent. It is formatted to get the young and old acclimated to the world's sexy beat. CCM mainly consists of the "Rock And Roll" beat. Contemporary means worldly or of today's society. The only reason you have Christian rock music is because satan has rock music. If satan and his followers had not invented sexy rock music, there would be no Christian rock.

The following statement from the Extreme Theology website for December 9, 2006, describes a video on YouTube of a Saddleback "Worship" Concert that featured vulgar "pelvic thrust" rock moves.
"This is a video of a Saddleback Worship Concert. There are teenage girls doing dance moves that include Pelvic Thrusts. Is this really worship to the one true God of the Bible or is this worship to one of those pagan sex gods? You be the judge?.
"Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire' (Matthew 7:17-19)."
Unfortunately, there are several posted immodest and vile videos of Saddleback dances, including swing dance footage. No man should be allowed to view them!
Most so-called Christians thrive on secular and Christian rock and no one had better say a word against it either, or they are ridiculed in the church. They can also be formally church disciplined for judging this beat of fornication.
This all reveals the satanic church in all its glory. I mean Bible churches of today who call themselves Christian; yet, approve of so-called Christian contemporary groups and singers that adore satan worshipping rockers that hate the holy and undefiled LORD Jesus Christ; Hebrews 7:26.
How can anyone be a Christian and love satan's world of vile indecency and Biblical blasphemy presented in song and the rock beat? Rockers present a false jesus who loves satan and his every unchaste way. This is one reason many women in churches today have no problem showing cleavage and upper leg. They dress to please satan, their sensual god who loves to rock out in all sexiness.
Sex, drugs, rebellion, and demonism are all symbolic of fornication music. This is why churches are tolerant of most anything today, except those who desire to be separated from the world—culture and society.

I am not sure why Rick Warren's name is tagged at the end of this article. It is difficult for me to believe that anyone who has an inkling about what Muslims believe or that anyone who has read the Koran can embrace Islam after having made a confession of faith in Jesus Christ. My comment today is that Christianity and Islam do not mix and will never stand together. The Jesus of the Holy Scripture is not the same Jesus that the Muslims believe in. Nor do they believe that Jesus actually died when He was on the Cross. Nor do they believe in the relationship between the Father and the Son, when the word of God clearly state that "Jesus was God manifest in the flesh." There is not a word to describe what I feel seeing Rick Warren in this position. He has made millions of dollars writing and this is the way he tells Jesus thank you. I can see why the word of God says it is so hard for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God, as hard as it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. God have mercy on the rich and powerful who are in the church leading many astray!

I've been really making a conscious effort to include more savoury foods and recipes on the blog and my social media lately, as I know I do tend to gravitate towards the sweet treats and desserts! Although I'm a huge lover of baking and creating sweet recipes, personally I'm more of a savoury person myself and would probably opt for a starter over having a pudding when eating out in a restaurant. Speaking of starters.. that's exactly what we have here for today's recipe!
If you know me, then you'll know that I absolutely love seafood! I'm not really a big meat eater, but I do really enjoy fish and seafood. At the moment, I haven't actually been eating any meat really.. not even chicken. This hasn't been something that I've done on purpose, I've just been listening to my body and that hasn't been what I've fancied. If I had to chose, I'd say my two favourite seafoods would definitely be prawns and scallops and are always something that I gravitate towards when selecting a dish on a menu.
This would be the perfect thing to whip up for a starter or side dish, if you want to cook something a little more fancy for a date night or dinner party. It's packed with incredible flavour, yet is still pretty quick and straight forward to prepare and you won't need an endless list of unusual ingredients! Cooking the scallops is actually really simple and I've just flavoured them with fresh garlic and then drizzled over this incredible homemade miso glaze. Miso paste is something that I've recently fallen back in love with and I just want to add it into everything. It provides such an incredibly vibrant flavour to soups, sauces and veggies and just really helps to addd that extra special finishing touch to a meal. My favourite type of miso paste to use is the sweet white miso and I find that this pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the garlic and scallops in this recipe.
Garlicky queen scallops, tender stem broccoli & ginger miso glaze
- 6 large queen scallops
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 150g tender stem broccoli
- Sea salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 1 tbsp sweet white miso paste
- 1 tsp agave
- 1 tsp tamari
- Almond milk
- Pinch of grated fresh ginger
- Pomegranate seeds to garnish
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and add in the crushed garlic. Sautee until fragrant before adding in your scallops. You want the oil to be nice and hot when you do this so you get a nice sizzle as the scallops come into contact with the pan.
- Either in the same pan or a separate one, add in the broccoli and cook until vibrant green and tender. I like to cook everything in the same pan, as this helps the veggies absorb all of the amazing flavours. You want the scallops to be completely cooked through, with a slight crisp outer coating.
- To prepare the miso dressing, simply mix together the miso paste, tamari, agave and ginger and gradually add in a splash of almond milk until you're left with a smooth, pourable glaze.
- Serve the scallops on a bed of the broccoli and top with fresh pomegranate seeds and a drizzle of the miso glaze.

I went on Youtube, and saw a super slow motion video of a glass being filled with water. The person used Avisynth, and the MSU Frame Rate Converter. It's amazing!! The clarity of the water, and the slow motion. WOW! They also used VirtualDub to process everything. Now, i want to experiment with super slow motion. I downloaded a different Youtube video of a glass of water being filled up. I used Avisynth, the MSU Frame Rate Converter, and Virtualdub. It turned out well. The video i used wasn't as high quality as the first one, but i'm on the road to experimenting. Now, here's the question. This is a Avisynth script. How do i save the video as i processed it, in super slow motion, so i can put it on my Ipod? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

MSU frame rate converter will not work as well as shooting at 600 fps and slowing the video down.
As far as saving your AVS results is concerned, just use any encoder that supports AVS scripts. Like VirtualDub, x264, etc.
Adding to what jagabo said, the smoothness of slow motion has less to do with filters, scripts, or functions in the editing stage than it has to do with the frame rate at which you shoot the footage in the first place. You need a camera that shoots at high frame rate, and thereafter play it back at a normal frame rate. It was easier to get great results in the days of shooting motion picture film (and I think that's why NFL Films still shoots 16mm at pro football games), but the makers of higher-end video cameras are doing more to support faster frame rates these days.
The motion interpolation techniques used by MSU_FRC() and MvTools based filters work for some kinds of material but not others. Simple motions (panning shots, an object moving across a flat background) give pretty good results. Complex motions (rotations, objects moving on highly detailed backgrounds, deformations) don't. Note the video I posted in your other thread:

John Lamb Lash author of Not in His Image: Gnostic Vision, Sacred Ecology, and the Future of Belief.
Weekly Signals (KUCI: Irvine, CA)
Hosts: Nathan Callahan and Mike Kaspar
Basing much of Not in His Image on the Nag Hammadi and other Gnostic writings, John Lamb Lash explains how a little-known messianic sect propelled itself into a dominant world power, systematically wiping out the great Gnostic spiritual teachers, the Druid priests, and the shamanistic healers of Europe and North Africa. They burned libraries and destroyed temples in an attempt to silence the ancient truth-tellers and keep their own secrets. But as Lash reveals, when the truth is the planet Earth it cannot be hidden or destroyed.
Not in His Image delves deeply into the shadows of ancient Gnostic writings to reconstruct the story early Christians tried to scrub from the pages of history, exploring the richness of the ancient European Pagan spirituality—the Pagan Mysteries, the Great Goddess, Gnosis, the myths of Sophia and Gaia—and chronicles the annihilation of this Pagan European culture at the hands of Christianity.
Lash is an exponent of the practice of mythology. He is principal author of the Marion Institute's website, an inquiry into the contemporary meaning of humanity's myths and beliefs, and is author of a number of books, including The Seeker's Handbook, Twins and the Double, The Hero — Manhood and Power, and Quest for the Zodiac.

Despite many news-worthy events taking place yesterday, including matters on which I am writing (more to come on this), yesterday afternoon was dominated by the bizarre press conference of Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY). During his off-Broadway show, Rep. Weiner admitted engaging in repeated erotic exchanges with women he did not personally know, via various means of electronic communication over a period of several years, after having lied to both the press and his wife. This was not merely a whiff of scandal, as many in the so-called mainstream media had at first made it out to be: it was a full-on sexual addiction. As if this was not news enough, most observers were even more shocked when, after tearfully admitting what he had done, Rep. Weiner froze like an iceberg for the rest of his Sally-Field-at-the-Oscars performance, continued talking for nearly half an hour, and refused to step down from his position.
Rep. Weiner's hubris – and it must be called that – in refusing to resign following these revelations is something which can be viewed as the inevitable result of the society we have created for ourselves over the past 40 years. His refusal to step down, and the support he has garnered in certain corners to remain where he is, arise from a deterioration of the values of personal honor and self-sacrifice rejected by many of his generation, and which had always been ideals of American society. How sadly ironic that this putrid selfishness should be exposed on the anniversary of the Allied Landing in Normandy, when thousands of Americans selflessly died to begin the liberation of Europe from the National Socialist movement.
Taken in the abstract, of course, Rep. Weiner's decision to stay on makes little sense. As Joshua Green, Senior Editor of The Atlantic and political columnist for the Boston Globe – neither being a particularly conservative-friendly publication – wrote in a very common-sense piece this morning, one should not have to analyze Weiner's behavior in the context of sexual scandals in order to be convinced that resignation is the only honorable way out of this mess. "He has already admitted to behavior that is unbecoming of a congressman. That is reason enough to call for his resignation," Green concludes.
Unfortunately that rational conclusion has become a diminished cultural imperative, in a society which has embraced a type of shameless celebrity over humility and substance. For increasingly we have seen a tendency of public servants to embrace the kind of selfishness demonstrated by Rep. Weiner, rather than honor and self-sacrifice, when confronted by their own untoward actions. Rep. Weiner, born in 1964, is part of the tail end of the Baby Boom generation, and it is no surprise that personal hubris in the face of scandal has come to categorize many of the famous political figures of that group.
Bill Clinton is perhaps the most famous example of Baby Boomer shamelessness, and his near-impeachment set a kind of seedy tone for what has come to be viewed, in the eyes of some of our elected officials, the media and the commentariat, as a part of their private behavior that can and should be compartmentalized from their public life. Moreover the turn-around time on these scandals has now become so fast that, for example, within two years of resigning as Governor of New York as a result of his patronage of prostitutes, Elliott Spitzer was given a national news television program – an even bigger platform upon which to express his views than he ever had as a governor, even of an important state.
Once Rep. Weiner goes – which he eventually will whether voluntarily or no – his replacement will no doubt promise to restore integrity to the office. They and the leaders of their party will stand before the cameras at the swearing in and pay lip service to the responsibilities of public service. Let us not delude ourselves into thinking that this will take place in the present climate.
Instead of focusing on cleaning up Congress of individual bad apples like Rep. Weiner, this scandal ought to make Americans take a look at ourselves, individually. We should question whether we are putting selfishness ahead of being honorable, and whether we are citizens still willing to engage in self-sacrifice for the greater good of our neighbor. Are we being discerning in whom we read, watch, listen to, vote for, and so on, looking to those who encourage these virtues? Or are we enthralled by celebrities in entertainment, politics, journalism, etc., who are undeserving of our attention and admiration?
It is one thing to find that an idol has feet of clay. It is another to find out that an idol's substance is not clay, but in fact dung. Let us try to rid ourselves of that substance in both our individual lives and in our society, before we are overcome by the fumes and it is too late.
