Now that Phillies fans are boasting, crowing and running their mouths over their acquisition of pitcher Cliff Lee, Giants fans will need an awesome and effective way of shutting up those East Coast yaps this holiday season.
The online cartoon video empresarios at JibJab.com and a rogue San Francisco Giants fan known as "Bash Beard" have just the thing to stuff their stockings.
Ms. Bash Beard has created an awesome and hilarious Giants fan Christmas video in which elf versions of Tim Lincecum and Brian Wilson engage in a slapstick snowball fight with elf versions of the Phillies' aces, Cliff Lee, Roy Halladay, and Roy Oswalt.
I know, "elf version of Tim Linceum" is kind of a redundant phrase. But this is the most charming and amusing Christmas video since that one time Justin Timberlake put his d*** in a box.
The video starts with the message "Giants vs. Phillies. I'm takin' Timmy and Weez." And then the elf versions go at it in an epic snowball fight.
The video is a product of JibJab's Holiday Rock customizable online Christmas cards. Anyone can make a video of anyone in a funny holiday musical scenario, as long as you have a jpeg image of that person's face to upload.
In other words, the video was not created by JibJab. It was customized by a Giants fan. And no elves were hurt in the making of this video.
But hopefully the feelings of a few Phillies pitchers were!

Has anyone else heard or read this sermon? I would like to hear other thoughts.Why I Love the ChurchI do want to talk to you about why I love the church briefly. It is not difficult to give your life to the church if you love it. And it's not at all difficult to love it if you understand it. But I think Michael Griffis(?) was right a number of years ago when he wrote his little book, Forgetful Pilgrims and he said, "Christians collectively seem to have suffered from a strange amnesia. They go to church but have forgotten what it's all about."It seems strange to me that the church is in an identity crisis and can't figure out what it is or what it is supposed to be when the Bible is so absolutely clear. I love the church. I confess to that. I am inveterate and incurable lover of the church. It thrills me beyond anything and everything to serve the church. It is the supreme joy of my life to labor for the church, to spend my years on behalf of the church. I wouldn't trade for anything. And there are some reasons why that is true, and I will share a few of those with you tonight and we'll look at some texts to undergird them.First of all, I love the church because the church is being built by the Lord Himself. The immutable, sovereign, faithful, omnipotent Lord of heaven whose Word can't return void but always accomplishes what He says, whose purpose always comes to pass, whose will is always fulfilled ultimately, whose plan is invincible and unshakable has spoken about building the church in no less than extremely triumphant words.In Matthew chapter 16 and verse 18 He said, "I will build My church and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it." He who knows His sheep, whose names He wrote down before the foundation of the world, He will build His church. The gates of Hades, simply a Jewish expression for death. If Hades is the place of the dead, then the gate to Hades is what ushers you into that...just a simple picture of death. The most powerful weapon of Satan is the gates of Hades. We are reminded in Hebrews chapter 2 that he holds the power of death and by it keeps men in bondage all their lifetime. But even the power of death cannot prevent the Lord from building the church. It is the strongest weapon that Satan wields on to the sovereignty of God and it cannot touch the church. The church will be built. It is His church, "I will build My church."I want to go a little deeper into that and have you turn to Titus chapter 1, if you will, in your Bibles....Titus chapter 1. As Paul opens up this marvelous epistle he says, "Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ," and he identifies himself in those two ways. First of all, he is a slave of God and the very character of that slavery or the specific task that he bears as a slave is to be an apostle on behalf of Jesus Christ. He is God's slave given the duty of being a messenger for Christ.With regard to that he says this, "For the faith of those chosen of God and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness, in the hope of eternal life which God who cannot lie promised...and the original language says...before time began."Now these two verses outline for us the nature of all really biblical ministry. Paul, as a servant of God and a messenger of Jesus Christ, was set really to accomplish three things. First, a ministry of salvation, a ministry of evangelism which he speaks of in these words, "For the faith of those chosen of God." He had the task of preaching the gospel so that the elect in hearing the gospel would believe. He was preaching the gospel for the faith of those chosen of God. He had an evangelistic aspect to his ministry, to bring about the understanding of the gospel in order that when faith would come as a gift from God, sinners chosen by God might be justified.Secondly he says, there was not only a salvation emphasis or an evangelism emphasis but a sanctification and an edification emphasis which he describes as, "The knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness." In addition to bringing the gospel to the elect so they might believe, he wanted to bring the saved to the fullness of the knowledge of the truth so that they might become godly. He was then committed to evangelism and edification.And then the third aspect of his ministry would be consolation, "In the hope of eternal life." He was bringing to people the hope of glorification which becomes for the pilgrim through this world the great source of consolation.And so his ministry focused on justification, sanctification and glorification. He preached that word of the gospel which mixed with faith produces justification. He preached that word of truth which mixed with obedience produced sanctification. He preached that great hope of eternal life and glory which mixed with hope produces consolation.In other words, that's really God's redemptive purpose, to save, sanctify, glorify, to take us all the way from being chosen by Him in eternity past to being glorified. Through salvation, sanctification to glorification, that is the great unfolding comprehensive redemptive purpose of God.Now having said that, the main thing I want you to notice is the end of verse 2. He says, "Which God," this whole plan, this whole redemptive, saving, sanctifying, glorifying plan, "which God who cannot lie promised before time began." What this tells us is that in eternity past, before there was ever created anything that is created, before time began, God determined to begin and to finish His redemptive plan. People were chosen. Their names were written down that they might be brought to faith, to godliness and to glory. God promised this before time began.Now the question that struck me as I read that is to whom did God make the promise? There weren't any people around. And the best understanding of the creation of angels would place their creation some time near the creation of the rest of the universe. And so if we are behind creation, pre-creation, to whom did God make this promise? That's a very compelling question. To whom did God make this pledge? This covenant?Turn to 2 Timothy chapter 1 and we find there a very helpful insight. Verse 8 ends with the word "God," God becomes the antecedent to verse 9. "God who has saved us," 2 Timothy 1:9, "God who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus," and here's the exact same phrase in the Greek, "before time began." This whole promise, this whole pledge, this whole covenant, this whole purpose of redemption, salvation, holy calling, this whole gracious saving enterprise was granted by the Father to the Son before time began.Now what that tells us is this, that the promise that the Father made, the promise that God made, He made to the Lord Jesus Christ. This is a staggering reality, absolutely staggering. In the trinity, in the mystery of the trinity there is an ineffable love, an indescribable and inexplicable love that those members of the trinity share. Jesus alludes to it in His high priestly prayer when He asks the Father to love His own the way He loves Him and asks that they might share in the mutual love between the Son and the Father.That love must find its expression. You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving. And the Father in a demonstration of this indescribable, supernatural, perfect love expressed to the Son a desire to manifest that love in a very unique way. This is certainly where you have the origination of what Hebrews 13:20 calls "the eternal covenant," for the Father makes a pledge to the Son because of His love for Him. And what is that pledge? He promises to the Son that He will give to Him a redeemed humanity, justified, sanctified and glorified. That in fact He will bring that humanity to glory, to dwell in the very place where they dwell before time began, a timeless place, an uncreated place...the very realm of God. That's the promise. And why? Because the Father loves the Son so greatly He wants to grant this redeemed humanity to Him as an expression of His love.With that thought in mind, turn to John chapter 6 and this becomes even more profound. In John chapter 6 and verse 37 Jesus identifies for us right here the crucial heart of His ministry. John 6:37, Jesus says, "All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me." Beloved, there in that one statement is the invincibility of the church. All that the Father gives to Me will come to Me. Every individual ever redeemed, ever...every individual ever granted the gift of faith, every individual ever forgiven and justified before God by grace is a gift from the Father to the Son, everyone. It isn't that you were bouncing down the street one day and got smart enough to get yourself saved. It isn't that you considered all your options and picked the best one by your human ingenuity. Rather every individual whoever comes to faith is a love gift from the Father to the Son, a part of a redeemed humanity who is given to the Son for a very expressed purpose.And what is that purpose? Well, that's easy, all you have to do is move in to the book of Revelation and look into heaven and see what people are doing there. What are they...what are the glorified saints doing? Worshiping the Lamb and glorifying the Lamb, and praising the Lamb, and serving the Lamb. And that is the fullness of God's purpose. God in eternity past before creation determined that He would give to the Son a redeemed humanity who ultimately would be brought into the uncreated glory where the trinity dwells for the express purpose of glorifying and praising and honoring and worshiping the Son forever and ever and ever...and serving Him. That was the Father's expression of love...the most wonderful way that He could do it. Oh, He created the angels, they too worship the Son, but this is unique because this is a redeemed humanity and their purpose is to glorify the Son forever.And so He says in verse 37, "All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me and obviously the one who comes to Me I will certainly not...what?...cast out." I mean, is He going to turn down a love gift from the Father? Is He going to say no to one whom the Father gives Him? No. In verse 38 He says, "I have come down from heaven not to do My own will but the will of Him who sent Me."Now in this covenant the Son had a part to play. It wasn't just the Father. The Father said, "I want to give You this redeemed humanity as an expression of My love and I'll bring them all the way to perfection, all the way to glory and they'll spend forever and ever and ever and ever glorifying and praising Your name. There's just one thing I need You to do and that is to go into the world, become one of them, pay the penalty for their sins." And when Jesus says in verse 38, "I've come down from heaven not to do My own will but the will of Him who sent Me," He does not mean that He's against this, that it's not His will, He's unwillingly or reluctantly submitting. All He means is, "I'm coming to fulfill a plan that the Father has devised." He doesn't mean here on Thursday I'm to do this, and next Tuesday I'm to do this, and next Friday...no. He's simply saying, "I've come down to do the one thing necessary and that is provide the atoning sacrifice that this humanity might be redeemed." And you know as well as I that that atonement of Jesus Christ stretched all the way back to cover all the sins of all who believed before He died as well as all who believe after He died.And then in verse 39, "And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose...what?...the Father says to Him...don't lose any of them, and Jesus says...I won't." "And I will raise him up on the last day, for this is the will of My Father that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him may have eternal life, and I Myself will raise Him up on the last day." You want to know something? All the saints are ultimately going to be glorified not because God said so only, but because Jesus will make it so. That's the plan.Down to verse 44, "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him. And I'll raise him up on the last day." Every individual who has ever come to faith is a love gift from the Father to the Son. We're caught up in something so monumental, so vast, so transcendent, it is almost as if my salvation and your salvation is somewhat incidental, that the real issue here is not to get us to heaven, but to express love from the Father to the Son. We're...we're...we're just the gift. When I want to show my love to someone, I might give them a gift. I might give my wife a gift. I might give my children a gift, my friends. They don't love the gift. They might enjoy the gift but what matters to them is the love of the giver. Isn't that it? And that's exactly this. We're somewhat like the gift. I mean, the whole issue is not us, the issue is this trinitarian love relationship in which we are privileged to participate.Now the Father isn't done with just that. There's something more to be said. Romans 8:29 and 30, someone told me long time ago, and I guess it's sort of axiomatic that the supreme compliment, the supreme form of flattery is imitation. And we know that today. When somebody has a hero they imitate them. And in verse 29, I want you to notice this, "For whom He foreknew he also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son." This is incredible. The Father determined before time began in His foreknowledge and predestination that He would bring together a redeemed humanity. He would save them, sanctify them, glorify them and bring them to heaven so that forever and ever and ever they could say, "Worthy is the Lamb...worthy is the Lamb...worthy is the Lamb," and praise the Son forever and ever and serve the Son forever and ever. And there's one more component, they would be made like the Son. As much as it is possible for redeemed humanity to be like incarnate deity, we will be like Jesus Christ so that...verse 29..."He might be the prototokos among many brethren." The prototokos meaning not the first one born in chronology, but the premier one. So that He might be the supreme one over a whole brotherhood of those who are like Him. And we know that's what John said, "When we shall see Him we shall be...what?...like Him."The apostle Paul said, "I press toward the mark for the prize of the upward call." What is the prize of the upward call? When you're called up, it's pretty simple to understand, when you get called up, what's the prize? Christ's likeness. Christ's likeness is the prize. Paul is saying I press toward the goal right now which is the prize later on. In other words, if the prize for my life is when I'm called up is to be like Christ, that's the goal right now, too. If that's the purpose for which God redeemed me, to make me into the image of His Son, then that should be my goal right now. And that's why Paul says, for example, to the Galatians, "I am in travail until Christ is fully formed in you." That's why he says, "For me to live is Christ." That's why he says, "That I may know Him." The one thing in his life that he pursued was Christ's likeness, because that was the reason God saved him, that was the whole point. In fact he says in Philippians chapter 3, "That I pursue that for which God pursued me." And why did God pursue him? "To make him like His Son." So what is the goal of his life? To become like His Son. That's the goal in eternity, that becomes the goal in time. The goal is to make an elect and redeemed humanity like Jesus Christ. And God will bring it to pass.You know, it's like the guy who said to me, who was commenting about Christianity triumphing, he said simply, "I read the book and in the end we all win." It's true. The church is invincible. It's absolutely invincible. The purposes of God cannot be thwarted.There's a kind of a conclusion to this, just to condense it a little bit. Turn to 1 Corinthians 15. First Corinthians 15, let's go clear to the end and see. The Lord is going to bring, we'll go to verse 24 for a moment...when the Son has done everything, verse 24 of 1 Corinthians 15, "Then comes the end, when He delivers up the Kingdom to the God and Father." In the end the Lord is going to say...Okay, I raised them all up, I provided salvation, I provided the Spirit for sanctification, and I raised them all up, here they are, Father, I give them to You. He's going to deliver them all to the Father. And the Father is going to at that point give them to the Son as a love gift. They're Yours. They're going to praise You forever and ever.Go to verse 27, here you come to the very end. "He has put all things in subjection under His feet." When He says "all things are put in subjection," it is evident that He has accepted who put all things in subjection to Him, that is God's not going to be in subjection to Christ, and when all things are subjected to Christ then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him that God may be all in all.You say, "What in the world is that saying?" It's saying this, when the Son brings the whole redeemed humanity to glory and the Father gives them all to the Son as a love gift, the Son will turn around and give it all, including Himself, back to the Father.This is a mind-boggling thing. This is what we're all caught up in, folks...an immense, transcendent, incomprehensible expression of love within the trinity of which we are the gifts exchanged. I love the church because the Lord is building it Himself. It's His.And it's enough for me, frankly, to just be a part of it, small church, big church, medium-sized church, happy church, sad church, it's just enough to be a part of it. I feel like Paul in 2 Corinthians 2, you know, where he was so sad in that letter but he says, "God always causes us to triumph in Christ." It's enough to march in the triumph, he says, it's enough to be in the parade, folks. I mean, it's enough to wear the uniform, that's all...I don't care. And frankly, that the end is already determined. I'm just privileged to be marching with the troops. That's enough. What do I need beyond that?Well, second reason that I love the church is because the church is the Lord's most precious reality on earth...the most precious reality on earth. You say, "How do you know that?" Because it demanded the highest price, right? "For you're redeemed not with corruptible things like silver and gold, but with the precious blood of Christ as a lamb without blemish, without spot," 1 Peter 1:18 and 19. Acts 20:28, "Purchased with His blood." First Corinthians 6:19 and 20, "Bought with a price."How precious is the church? Well, precious...so precious that the Son was willing to come to die in obedience to the Father so the love gift could become a reality. One verse really...well two verses, really say it all. Go to 2 Corinthians, we'll just comment on one and then I'll look at the other one, more important, 2 Corinthians 8:9, "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that though He was rich..." what does that mean? It means He was rich as God is rich. Not talking about earthly riches, not talking about material things. When it says He was rich it means He was rich as God is rich. He was rich in His preincarnate glory. "Yet for your sake He became poor." That does not mean earthly poverty, anymore than it meant earthly riches. He went from sovereign supernatural deity, with all the richness, to humbling Himself to becoming a man. It's the poverty of being human, not the...not the idea of the fact that He was poor economically. You certainly do understand, don't you, that the economics of Jesus had nothing to do with redemption? It wouldn't have mattered whether He was the poorest man in town, or the richest when it comes to redemption. His economic status played no part. It was the poverty that He experienced in the sense that He was divested of all the prerogatives of deity that were set aside in His incarnation, and went all the way to the agony of the cross and said, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" That's poverty and that's the kind of poverty viewed here. So when you talk about the fact that the church is precious, the value of the church is seen here in the price that was paid when the One who was as rich as God in fullness of glory is rich, who became as poor as poor can be when one is alienated from God, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me," and He did it that you through His poverty might become rich. How rich? As rich as God is rich because you've become a joint...what?...joint heir.It's an absolutely incredible verse...an absolutely incredible verse. The gospel, the incarnation, the condescension of Christ for the purpose of redeeming the Father's elect, the Father's elect love gifts to Him had nothing to do with His economic condition and everything to do with the fact that He came all the way down to being alienated from the God He loved. Frankly the gospel can be no more equated with the financial poverty of Jesus than it can be equated with His pain on the cross. Such matters may tug at the heart of human emotion and elicit sympathy, but they have nothing to do with salvation. He became poor not by giving up earth's riches, but by giving up heaven's so that you might gain them.In 2 Corinthians 5:21 it is stated as explicitly as it can be stated what the work of Christ was. Second Corinthians 5:21, you ask how poor? What is this poverty that He endured? This terrible, terrible condescension, "He made Him who knew no sin," now there's only one person who qualifies there, Jesus, so that's not hard to interpret, "God made Jesus the sinless one, the one who knew no sin, to be sin on our behalf that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." That's how poor He became. God, to fulfill the plan, took the One who knew no sin and made Him sin on our behalf that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. This is so powerful. This is the doctrine of imputation. Let me see if I can't tell you ever so briefly what it's saying here.In what way did God make Jesus sin? Well, some modern charismatic false teachers say that on the cross Jesus became a sinner and had He had to go to hell for three days to pay the penalty for His sins. That is blasphemy. On the cross Jesus did not become a sinner. He was not guilty of any sin ever, not even when He was dying on the cross. He committed no sin ever. When He hung on the cross He was absolutely innocent. No sin could be put to His account, He had no capacity to commit any sin. He did not become a sinner.You say, "What happened?" Very simply, God treated Him as if He had committed personally every sin ever committed by every person who ever believed. Can you grasp that thought? God treated Jesus Christ on the cross as if He had committed every sin ever committed by every person who ever believed. And God heaped the full fury of a just wrath on Him as if He were guilty of all of it, when the fact is He was guilty of none of it. But God poured out His fury so that all that sin was sufficiently expiated and could never be held against those who believe.Now that's the first half of imputation. But there's a second half. He treated Jesus as if He had committed every sin ever committed by every person who would ever believe, and He did it for us, "In order that we might become...what?...the righteousness of God." Are you ready for this? Jesus was not a sinner on the cross. And I'll tell you something else, you're not righteous...you're not righteous. You're not anymore righteous than Jesus was sinful. God treated Jesus as if He was a sinner, and He treats you as if you are righteous. He wasn't, and you're not and neither am I. That's imputation. I'm not righteous, I'm still sinful. I have to say with Paul, "O wretched man that I am," don't I? "Who is going to deliver me from the body of this death? Things I want to do I don't do, the things I don't want to do I do." I'm not righteous...are you ready for this?...but God treats me as if I possessed the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ. Is that astonishing? Well, it is if you know me. Certainly it is if God knows me.You see, that's the doctrine of imputation. That's what we're talking about here. God treats Jesus as if He had committed all our sins and treats us as if we had only done all His righteousness. That's the price.To fulfill the Father's plan it had to be so. The sin had to be paid for and the righteousness had to be given. One who was not a sinner had to be treated as if He were, and those who are not righteous can be treated as if they are.Why did Jesus come down and endure this horrible humiliation, separation? Why? It had to be so to fulfill the Father's plan. I know we think that He did it just for us. No, no He did it for God. Some time ago I preached a message entitled, "Christ Died for God." We're just...the gift gets passed back and forth.Is the church precious? Sure, because it bears the very righteousness of Jesus Christ imputed to it since its sins have been imputed to Him. It's an incredible reality. That is why Matthew 18 warns us to be careful how we treat each other, doesn't it? Because how you treat another believer, Jesus says, is how you treat Me.I love the church. I love the church because the Lord is building it Himself. I love it because it's the most precious thing on earth, Jesus paid the price for His church. This is a precious church. That's why Matthew 18 says, "If you cause another Christian to stumble, you'd be better off with a millstone put around your neck and be drowned in the sea," right? You better be careful how you treat these precious people. You better be careful not to despise the least of these little ones. You better be careful not to cause another believer to stumble, you're...you're touching Christ. He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit, 1 Corinthians 6:17.Well let me give you a third, maybe we have time for this. I love the church because the church is the only earthly expression of heaven...it is the only earthly expression of heaven. You know, if you based it on some people's church experience, they would think that heaven was some kind of a shallow, flippant place for entertainment...superficial, clever, indifferent and man-centered. Boy, that sounds blasphemous, doesn't it?We pray this prayer all the time, "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." When is that going to happen? In the United States Congress? I don't think so. In the White House? I don't think so. In the Supreme Court? No. In the university? No. City Hall? No. Where is God's will done on earth as it is in heaven? Only one place, there can only be one place, that's the church. Now you have to ask the question...what goes on in heaven? If...if....were heaven to come down, what goes on in heaven? Well, worship, would you agree? Praise, adoration, and it all flows to God, it is all directed at God. Read in Revelation chapter 4, chapter 5, chapter 19, all around the throne...worship, worship, worship, worship...the worship of God.Secondly, another thing goes on in heaven and that's the exaltation of Christ...the exaltation of Christ. He is the...He is the adored Son in glory. He sits at the Father's right hand. You see the Lamb right in the throne, don't you, in Revelation. He is exalted and adored in an unabashed wonder.A third thing that is true about heaven is the presence of absolute purity...absolute purity. It is a holy place. You come to the end of the book of Revelation, for example, and it becomes crystal clear that nobody is going to get in there who isn't holy...no unclean thing, no one who practices abomination and lying shall ever come into it, the end of chapter 21. Chapter 22, outside, verse 15, are dogs and sorcerers and immoral persons and murderers and idolaters and everyone who loves and practices lying...you don't get in there. It's the place of purity.Now if we want to bring heaven done, what are we all about? I think we're all about the worship of God, the exaltation of Jesus Christ, and the pursuit of holiness. That's what we're all about. And we're so utterly unlike anything on this earth as to be absolutely distinct.Look at Matthew 18, just one illustration of this, Matthew 18:15 talks about dealing with sin on the issue of holiness, and we'll just...we'll just look at this and close with one other comment. In Matthew 18:15, "If your brother sins, you go approve him in private. If he listens to you, you've won your brother. If he doesn't listen to you, take two or more with you. If he still doesn't listen...verse 17...tell the church. If he still doesn't listen, put him out." Then verse 18, "Truly I say to you, whatever you shall bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven. And whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven." What is that?Well binding and loosing was an old rabbinical expression which was used with regard to dealing with people on the matter of sin and repentance. And when a person was confronted about their sin and they wouldn't repent of their sin and they refused to turn from their sin, then the rabbi would say to them, "You're bound in sin." It was simply a declaration of the fact. But if they repented and had remorse, confessed that sin and turned from it, he would say, "You were loosed from your sin." And in a discipline situation that's what you're doing. Those who repent, you can say you're loosed from your sin. And those who will not repent you say, you're bound in your sin. And when the church says that on earth, it is simply saying here what heaven has already said. Heaven has already rendered that verdict, we bring heaven down. Never is the church more heavenly than when it is confronting sin...never. You can't minimize sin in the church and at the same time say "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." We literally act in perfect harmony with heaven when we deal with sin. Heaven is already rendering those verdicts.The church then is the only earthly expression of heaven. People ought to walk in here and say, "I have never experienced anything like this." They shouldn't walk in and say, "Ah, I feel comfortable here. This sounds familiar. It's a pretty groovy deal here." What? So unlike anything they've ever experienced has to be shockingly different. This is the closest we get to heaven.Another thing about heaven is fellowship with the saints, right? That's what we're all about. Heaven is a place of worship toward God, exaltation of Christ, pursuit of holiness, sweet, perfect harmonious fellowship. Let the world see that so they can really see the reality of the power of God.One last comment. I can't leave this. I've said enough about it this week, so I don't need to extend my comments. Fourthly, the church is the source of truth...the church is the source of truth. We're the voice of God in the world. I love what Paul said to Timothy. "The church...1 Timothy 3:15...which is the pillar and foundation of the truth." If we do anything, we hold up the truth. It ought to be said when people walk in a church they hear the truth. The impressive Temple of Diana, one of the Seven Wonders of the World was in Ephesus. One of its features were...was its pillars, it had 127 of them, each one was a gift from a different king. Every one was marble. All was studded with jewels, overlaid with gold. Every pillar was a tribute to the king who gave it and they held up an immense roof. This massive roof was upheld by these pillars. And as the pillars of the Temple of Diana were testimony to the gross errors of false religion, the church is to be the pillar that holds up the truth. It is the solemn responsibility of every church to lift up the truth and hold it high. And really with it to smash the ideological fortresses of Satan's lies. We have a stewardship of truth not to be tampered with, not to be depreciated, not to be misrepresented, not to be abandoned and not to be altered. It is the sacred saving treasure given to us so that the unfolding redemptive plan of God may come to pass.

Owners of AMD (previously ATI) video cards have a choice between proprietary driver (catalystAUR) and the open source drivers (ATI for older or AMDGPU for newer cards). This article covers the ATI/Radeon open source driver for older cards.
The open source driver is on par performance-wise with the proprietary driver for many cards. (See this benchmark.)
If unsure, try the open source driver first, it will suit most needs and is generally less problematic. See the feature matrix to know what is supported for the GPU. See the decoder ring to translate marketing names (e.g. Radeon HD4330) to chip names (e.g. R700).
Selecting the right driver
Depending on the card you have, find the right driver in Xorg#AMD. This page has instructions for ATI.
Install the xf86-video-ati package. It provides the DDX driver for 2D acceleration and it pulls in mesa as a dependency, providing the DRI driver for 3D acceleration.
For 32-bit application support on x86_64, also install lib32-mesa from multilib.
Support for accelerated video decoding is provided by mesa-vdpau and lib32-mesa-vdpau packages.
The radeon kernel module should load fine automatically on system boot.
If it does not happen, then:
- Make sure you do not have
vga=as a kernel parameter, since radeon requires KMS.
- Also, check that you have not disabled radeon by using any kernel module blacklisting.
Enable early KMS
Kernel mode setting (KMS) is supported by the radeon driver and is mandatory and enabled by default.
KMS is typically initialized after the initramfs stage. It is possible, however, to enable KMS during the initramfs stage. To do this, add the
radeon module to the
MODULES line in
MODULES="... radeon ..."
Now, regenerate the initramfs:
# mkinitcpio -p linux
The change takes effect at the next reboot.
Xorg configuration
Xorg will automatically load the driver and it will use your monitor's EDID to set the native resolution. Configuration is only required for tuning the driver.
If you want manual configuration, create
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf, and add the following:
Section "Device" Identifier "Radeon" Driver "radeon" EndSection
Using this section, you can enable features and tweak the driver settings.
Performance tuning
Enabling video acceleration
See Hardware video acceleration.
Driver options
The following options apply to
Please read
man radeon and RadeonFeature first before applying driver options.
Acceleration architecture; Glamor is available as a 2D acceleration method implemented through OpenGL, and it is the default for R600 (Radeon HD2000 series) and newer graphic cards. Older cards use EXA.
Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
DRI3 is enabled by default since xf86-video-ati 7.8.0. For older drivers, which use DRI2 by default, switch to DRI3 with the following option:
Option "DRI" "3"
TearFree is a tearing prevention option which prevents tearing by using the hardware page flipping mechanism. Enabling this option currently disables Option "EnablePageFlip":
Option "TearFree" "on"
ColorTiling and ColorTiling2D are supposed to be enabled by default. Tiled mode can provide significant performance benefits with 3D applications. It is disabled if the DRM module is too old or if the current display configuration does not support it. KMS ColorTiling2D is only supported on R600 (Radeon HD2000 series) and newer chips:
Option "ColorTiling" "on" Option "ColorTiling2D" "on"
When using Glamor as acceleration architecture, it is possible to enable the ShadowPrimary option, which enables a so-called "shadow primary" buffer for fast CPU access to pixel data, and separate scanout buffers for each display controller (CRTC). This may improve performance for some 2D workloads, potentially at the expense of other (e.g. 3D, video) workloads. Note that enabling this option currently disables Option "EnablePageFlip":
Option "ShadowPrimary" "on"
EXAVSync is only available when using EXA and can be enabled to avoid tearing by stalling the engine until the display controller has passed the destination region. It reduces tearing at the cost of performance and has been known to cause instability on some chips:
Option "EXAVSync" "yes"
Below is a sample configuration file of
Section "Device" Identifier "Radeon" Driver "radeon" Option "AccelMethod" "glamor" Option "DRI" "3" Option "TearFree" "on" Option "ColorTiling" "on" Option "ColorTiling2D" "on" EndSection
Kernel parameters
Defining the gartsize, if not autodetected, can be done by adding
radeon.gartsize=32 as a kernel parameter.
The changes take effect at the next reboot.
Deactivating PCIe 2.0
Since kernel 3.6, PCI Express 2.0 in radeon is turned on by default.
It may be unstable with some motherboards. It can be deactivated by adding
radeon.pcie_gen2=0 as a kernel parameter.
See Phoronix article for more information.
Gallium Heads-Up Display
The radeonsi driver supports the activation of a heads-up display (HUD) which can draw transparent graphs and text on top of applications that are rendering, such as games. These can show values such as the current frame rate or the CPU load for each CPU core or an average of all of them. The HUD is controlled by the GALLIUM_HUD environment variable, and can be passed the following list of parameters among others:
- "fps" - displays current frames per second
- "cpu" - displays the average CPU load
- "cpu0" - displays the CPU load for the first CPU core
- "cpu0+cpu1" - displays the CPU load for the first two CPU cores
- "draw-calls" - displays how many times each material in an object is drawn to the screen
- "requested-VRAM" - displays how much VRAM is being used on the GPU
- "pixels-rendered" - displays how many pixels are being displayed
To see a full list of parameters, as well as some notes on operating GALLIUM_HUD, you can also pass the "help" parameter to a simple application such as glxgears and see the corresponding terminal output:
# GALLIUM_HUD="help" glxgears
More information can be found from this mailing list post or this blog post.
Hybrid graphics/AMD Dynamic Switchable Graphics
It is the technology used on recent laptops equiped with two GPUs, one power-efficent (generally Intel integrated card) and one more powerful and more power-hungry (generally Radeon or Nvidia). There are two ways to get it work:
- If it is not required to run 'GPU-hungry' applications, it is possible to disable the discrete card (see Ubuntu wiki):
echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch.
- PRIME: Is a proper way to use hybrid graphics on Linux, but still requires a bit of manual intervention from the user.
With the radeon driver, power saving is disabled by default and has to be enabled manually if desired.
You can choose between three different methods:
See http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/#index3h2 for more details.
Dynamic power management
Since kernel 3.13, DPM is enabled by default for lots of AMD Radeon hardware. If you want to disable it, add the parameter
radeon.dpm=0 to the kernel parameters.
Unlike dynpm, the "dpm" method uses hardware on the GPU to dynamically change the clocks and voltage based on GPU load. It also enables clock and power gating.
There are 3 operation modes to choose from:
batterylowest power consumption
balancedsane default
performancehighest performance
They can be changed via sysfs
# echo battery > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_state
For testing or debugging purposes, you can force the card to run in a set performance mode:
autodefault; uses all levels in the power state
lowenforces the lowest performance level
highenforces the highest performance level
# echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
Commandline Tools
- radcard - A script to get and set DPM power states and levels
Old methods
Dynamic frequency switching
This method dynamically changes the frequency depending on GPU load, so performance is ramped up when running GPU intensive apps, and ramped down when the GPU is idle. The re-clocking is attempted during vertical blanking periods, but due to the timing of the re-clocking functions, does not always complete in the blanking period, which can lead to flicker in the display. Due to this, dynpm only works when a single head is active.
It can be activated by simply running the following command:
# echo dynpm > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method
Profile-based frequency switching
This method will allow you to select one of the five profiles (described below). Different profiles, for the most part, end up changing the frequency/voltage of the GPU. This method is not as aggressive, but is more stable and flicker free and works with multiple heads active.
To activate the method, run the following command:
# echo profile > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method
Select one of the available profiles:
defaultuses the default clocks and does not change the power state. This is the default behaviour.
autoselects between
highpower states based on the whether the system is on battery power or not.
lowforces the gpu to be in the
lowpower state all the time. Note that
lowcan cause display problems on some laptops, which is why
autoonly uses
lowwhen monitors are off. Selected on other profiles when the monitors are in the DPMS-off state.
midforces the gpu to be in the
midpower state all the time.
highforces the gpu to be in the
highpower state all the time.
As an example, we will activate the
low profile (replace
low with any of the aforementioned profiles as necessary):
# echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile
Persistent configuration
The activation described above is not persistent, it will not last when the computer is rebooted. To make it persistent, you can use systemd-tmpfiles (example for #Dynamic frequency switching):
w /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method - - - - dynpm
Alternatively, you may use this udev rule instead (example for #Profile-based frequency switching):
KERNEL=="dri/card0", SUBSYSTEM=="drm", DRIVERS=="radeon", ATTR{device/power_method}="profile", ATTR{device/power_profile}="low"
Graphical tools
- Radeon-tray — A small program to control the power profiles of your Radeon card via systray icon. It is written in PyQt4 and is suitable for non-Gnome users.
Other notes
To view the speed that the GPU is running at, perform the following command and you will get something like this output:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/radeon_pm_info
state: PM_STATE_ENABLED default engine clock: 300000 kHz current engine clock: 300720 kHz default memory clock: 200000 kHz
It depends on which GPU line yours is, however. Along with the radeon driver versions, kernel versions, etc. So it may not have much/any voltage regulation at all.
Thermal sensors are implemented via external i2c chips or via the internal thermal sensor (rv6xx-evergreen only). To get the temperature on asics that use i2c chips, you need to load the appropriate hwmon driver for the sensor used on your board (lm63, lm64, etc.). The drm will attempt to load the appropriate hwmon driver. On boards that use the internal thermal sensor, the drm will set up the hwmon interface automatically. When the appropriate driver is loaded, the temperatures can be accessed via lm_sensors tools or via sysfs in
Fan Speed
While the power saving features above should handle fan speeds quite well, some cards may still be too noisy in their idle state. In this case, and when your card supports it, you can change the fan speed manually.
Issue the following command to enable the manual adjustment of the fan speed of your graphics card (or the first GPU in case of a multi GPU setup).
# echo 1 > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1_enable
Then set your desired fan speed from 0 to 255, which corresponds to 0-100% fan speed (the following command sets it to roughly 20%):
# echo 55 > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1
For persistence, use systemd-tmpfiles as shown above by the example with power profiles. If the latter doesn't work (see the note in systemd-tmpfiles for the reason) you can use a udev rule to issue the commands when the card becomes active. Here is an example of a possible rule
KERNEL=="card0", SUBSYSTEM=="drm", ENV{DISPLAY}=":0", ENV{XAUTHORITY}="$HOME/.Xauthority", RUN+="/sbin/sh /etc/conf.d/gpupower"
with a possible script
echo battery > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_state echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level echo 1 > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm1_enable echo 55 > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm1
If a fixed speed-value isn't desired, there are possibilities to define a custom fan curve manually by, for example, writing a script in which fan speeds are set depending on the current temperature (current value in
A GUI solution is available by installing radeon-profile-gitAUR.
TV out
First, check that you have an S-video output:
xrandr should give you something like
Screen 0: minimum 320x200, current 1024x768, maximum 1280x1200 ... S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Now we should tell Xorg that it is actually connected (it is, right?)
xrandr --output S-video --set "load detection" 1
Setting TV standard to use:
xrandr --output S-video --set "tv standard" ntsc
Adding a mode for it (currently supports only 800x600):
xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600
Clone mode:
xrandr --output S-video --same-as VGA-0
Now let us try to see what we have:
xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600
At this point you should see a 800x600 version of your desktop on your TV.
To disable the output, do
xrandr --output S-video --off
Force TV-out in KMS
The kernel can recognize
video= parameter in following form (see KMS for more details):
For example:
Parameters with whitespaces must be quoted:
"video=9-pin DIN-1:1024x768-24@60e"
Current mkinitcpio implementation also requires
# in front. For example:
root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/d950a14f-fc0c-451d-b0d4-f95c2adefee3 ro quiet radeon.modeset=1 security=none # video=DVI-I-1:1280x1024-24@60e "video=9-pin DIN-1:1024x768-24@60e"
- GRUB Legacy can pass such command line as is.
- LILO needs backslashes for doublequotes (append
# \"video=9-pin DIN-1:1024x768-24@60e\")
You can get list of your video outputs with following command:
$ ls -1 /sys/class/drm/ | grep -E '^card[[:digit:]]+-' | cut -d- -f2-
HDMI audio
HDMI audio is supported in the xf86-video-ati video driver. To disable HDMI audio add
radeon.audio=0 to your kernel parameters.
If there is no video after boot up, the driver option has to be disabled.
Multihead setup
Using the RandR extension
See Multihead#RandR how to setup multiple monitors by using RandR.
Independent X screens
Independent dual-headed setups can be configured the usual way. However you might want to know that the radeon driver has a
"ZaphodHeads" option which allows you to bind a specific device section to an output of your choice:
Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "radeon" Option "ZaphodHeads" "VGA-0" VendorName "ATI" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Screen 0 EndSection
This can be a life-saver, when using videocards that have more than two outputs. For instance one HDMI out, one DVI, one VGA, will only select and use HDMI+DVI outputs for the dual-head setup, unless you explicitly specify
"ZaphodHeads" "VGA-0".
Turn vsync off
The radeon driver will enable vsync by default, which is perfectly fine except for benchmarking. To turn it off, create
~/.drirc (or edit it if it already exists) and add the following section:
<driconf> <device screen="0" driver="dri2"> <application name="Default"> <option name="vblank_mode" value="0" /> </application> </device> <!-- Other devices ... --> </driconf>
Make sure the driver is dri2, not your video card code (like r600).
If vsync is still enabled, you can try to disable it by editing the xf86-video-ati configuration :
Section "Device" Identifier "My Graphics Card" Driver "radeon" Option "EXAVSync" "off" Option "SwapbuffersWait" "false" EndSection
Performance and/or artifacts issues when using EXA
If having 2D performance issues, like slow scrolling in a terminal or webbrowser, adding
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" as device option may solve the issue.
In addition disabling EXAPixmaps may solve artifacts issues, although this is generally not recommended and may cause other issues.
Section "Device" Identifier "Radeon" Driver "radeon" Option "AccelMethod" "exa" Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" #Option "EXAPixmaps" "off" EndSection
Adding undetected/unsupported resolutions
See Xrandr#Adding_undetected_resolutions.
TV showing a black border around the screen
When connecting a TV using the HDMI port, the TV may show a blurry picture with a 2-3cm border around it. This protects against overscanning (see Wikipedia:Overscan), but can be turned off using xrandr:
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set underscan off
Black screen and no console, but X works in KMS
This is a solution to the no-console problem that might come up, when using two or more ATI cards on the same PC. Fujitsu Siemens Amilo PA 3553 laptop for example has this problem. This is due to fbcon console driver mapping itself to the wrong framebuffer device that exists on the wrong card. This can be fixed by adding this to the kernel boot line:
This will tell the fbcon to map itself to the
/dev/fb1 framebuffer dev and not the
/dev/fb0, that in our case exists on the wrong graphics card. If that does not fix your problem, try booting with
ATI X1600 (RV530 series) 3D application show black windows
There are three possible solutions:
- Try adding
pci=nomsito your boot loader Kernel parameters.
- If this does not work, you can try adding
noapicinstead of
- If none of the above work, then you can try running
vblank_mode=0 glxgearsor
vblank_mode=1 glxgearsto see which one works for you, then install driconf and set that option in
Cursor corruption after coming out of sleep
If the cursor becomes corrupted like it's repeating itself vertically after the monitor(s) comes out of sleep, set
"SWCursor" "True" in the
"Device" section of the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf configuration file.
DisplayPort stays black on multimonitor mode
Try booting with the kernel parameter
R9-390 Poor Performance and/or Instability
Firmware issues with R9-390 series cards include poor performance and crashes (frequently caused by gaming or using Google Maps) possibly related DPM. Comment 115 of this bug report includes instructions for a fix.
QHD / UHD / 4k support over HDMI for older Radeon cards
Older cards have their pixel clock limited to 165MHz for HDMI. Hence, they do not support QHD or 4k only via dual-link DVI but not over HDMI.
One possibility to work around this is to use custom modes with lower refresh rate, e.g. 30Hz.
Another one is a kernel patch removing the pixel clock limit, but this may damage the card!
Official kernel bug ticket with patch for 4.8: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172421
The patch introduces a new kernel parameter
radeon.hdmimhz which alters the pixel clock limit.
Be sure to use a high speed HDMI cable for this.

A while back, someone mentioned the original early crime oriented Marvel Suspense run (before it switched to horror) which featured stories based on "the gripping CBS radio / television series" of the time. So what the heck, let's finish out July with a tale from the February 1950 issue of Suspense #2… a tale so suspenseful in fact that a psychiatrist was actually called in as an editorial consultant! And unlike most pre-code stories that we're used to around here, this one isn't so much about how it ends, but what happens getting there; it's not flat-out "horror", but it does have some horrifying moments-- and some really fabulous (Gene Colan?) artwork too!
Enjoy, and we'll see you all in August!

The Man Who Steals Gravestones! VS. The Man Who Sold His Soul!
Digging into the Crypt of Shadows today, Marvel's best Silver Age horror 50's reprint series in my opinion, with two pre-code tales brought back to evil screaming life for a whole new generation of hopped-up 70's horror heads (like me) to enjoy. First up, from the Sept '73 issue of CoS #5, a bone chilling Sol Brodsky yarn about a ghoulish grave robber, followed by an early John Romita story of witchcraft and bullfighting from the Jan. '75 issue of CoS #15.
The Man Who Steals Gravestones! (originally presented in the Jan. '53 issue of Advs into Weird Worlds #14)

Death Notice! / Television Ghost..
Two ghost posts for you today, and the first tale picking up where we left off with our continuing look at Atlas comics from the July '52 issue of Mystic #10. Then our second spooktacularly silly haunting is from the debut Sept. '51 issue of Mister Mystery #1. Note: GCD credits the pencils / inks here to Charles Stern who "was a former roommate of Harvey Kurtzman and John Severin, and a reason why this work resembles Kurtzman." [GCD now credits "Television Ghost" to Ross Andru. Make of that what you will. -- Nequam]

Woman Found Stabbed to Death Left Terrifying Warning Post on Facebook
An East St. Louis woman who was found stabbed to death in her apartment Saturday night had posted a Facebook status update prior to her murder warning her friends that she might die.
"If anything happens to me tonight just let my kids know I loved them dearly and tell my momma I love her," Michelle Rowling posted on November 25th.
Less than a week later, police were called to Rowling's housing complex to investigate a disturbance and found the 25-year-old bleeding out, having sustained several stab wounds.
She was rushed to a nearby hospital, but was pronounced DOA.
According to the St. Clair County State's Attorney Brendan Kelly, Rowling's post was in reference to the release of her ex-boyfriend, 25-year-old Montrell Cooper, who had been jailed since August for assaulting her.
Cooper, who is the chief suspect in Rowling's murder, had assaulted Rowling before, but she testified on his behalf and managed to get his sentence reduced to probation.
Kelly says he wanted to keep Cooper behind bars following the lapse of his most recent jail stint, but Rowling was uncooperative, forcing Cooper's release on probation.
Rowling's relatives accused Cooper of murdering the mother of two because she was attempting to leave him behind and move on.
Police are still searching for Cooper, and are asking anyone with information to come forward.

Sen. Guzman backs magazine gun bill impacting two businesses in her district
The chairwoman of the Colorado Senate Judiciary Committee says she supports a bill banning ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds although it impacts two businesses in her Denver district that say they will move if the measure passes.
Democratic Sen. Lucia Guzman is chairwoman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is expected to hear at least two gun bills that the Democratic-controlled House approved on Monday, including the magazine measure, in addition to other gun bills that have yet to be introduced this session.
Guzman, who used to own a coffee shop in northwest Denver, said she supports small business but is concerned about the safety of Coloradans.
"Maybe there could be some type of amendment or whatever that makes it more business friendly but at this point I'm supporting the bill," she said Friday, in a video interview with the Denver Post.

House Democrats: Path to Citizenship or Bust
Democrats say they won't cave on key demand for immigration reform.
July 9, 2013 -- House Democrats made it clear on Tuesday that they won't support any major immigration overhaul that does not include a pathway to citizenship.
Party members in the lower chamber this morning huddled with the four Democrats on the so-called "Gang of Eight" that helped write the Senate's bill. After the meeting, House Democrats said that the path to citizenship is the one thing they won't sacrifice for votes on an immigration package.
"You must include a pathway to citizenship," Rep. Xavier Becerra (Calif.), the chairman of the House Democratic caucus, told reporters after the meeting. "Democrats will make that very clear to Republicans."
That demand will set up a contentious and difficult debate over immigration in the House. Republicans, who hold the majority, have shown little to no appetite to pass language that would offer the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. a chance to earn citizenship.
Despite that, Becerra said that the Democratic senators in attendance made it clear that it's possible to convince Republicans to get on board with a bill that includes a pathway to citizenship, citing the bipartisan support the Senate bill received.
"They made the point emphatically," Becerra said, "[that] we cannot become a country that would [create] second class Americans."
Even though they are in the minority, Democrats believe they have leverage to place a path to citizenship into a House immigration bill. Becerra emphasized that Democrats wouldn't settle for the House passing a bill without a path to citizenship, then hoping it gets added during negotiations with the Senate. They want the House to pass a bill now that includes it.
"I don't see how Speaker Boehner and the House Republicans pass real immigration reform that fixes the problem without Democratic votes," he said. "They're going to have to reach across the aisle."
One major element of immigration reform Democrats said they could do without is the Senate bill's so-called "border surge," which would double the size of the Border Patrol and require the completion of 700 miles of fencing between the U.S. and Mexico.
That language was critical in securing enough Republican votes to pass a bill out of the Senate. Democrats acknowledged the need to include border security language to pass a bill out of the House as well. But Democratic leaders said that lawmakers from border states spoke out during the meeting against the "surge," arguing it would harm the way of life for many in their districts.
"I don't think you need to militarize the border in order to secure it," said Becerra. "The biggest failure would be to do nothing … If we don't like what the Senate did, let's prove we can do it better."

With beautiful landscapes, historic pubs and some of the finest golf courses anywhere in the world, the "Emerald Isle" is truly a gem. All-inclusive Ireland tours are the best way to take everything in, giving you the freedom to make your luxury vacation your own, paired with the guidance of knowledgeable staff. Whether you want to learn more about the history of the country, sip a freshly poured Guinness or hit the links, there are plenty of Ireland tours to suit your needs.
History and Traditions
Spoken Gaelic
Lovers of language are well-advised to discover Ireland tours that feature spoken Gaelic. As a language that has been developing for hundreds of years, it is at once lilting and brogueish, a spoken testament to the country itself. Perhaps the best place to hear it is the Aran Islands, which have since the 19th century become something of a living museum for linguists and historians. It was also a popular haunt for poets and writers, including W. B. Yeats and John Millington Synge.
Traditional Dance
Traditional music goes hand-in-hand with traditional dance, and travelers who are visiting Ireland are able to experience both. Irish people have always had a strong history of dancing, and their compelling rhythms and fancy footwork are a source of delight for travellers. From Ceili, a style that traces its origins back to the 16th century, to Set dancing, which is an interplay between four couples, there are plenty of ways to find your groove.
Traditional Music
Ireland tours are not complete without hearing some of the music the country has to offer. As a political and cultural symbol of Ireland, the harp plays a big role in the region's music, which has developed over the course of many centuries. Today's musicians blend that appreciation for history with modern techniques, creating a fusion that is at once daring and familiar.
Natural Beauty
Wild Atlantic Way
The Wild Atlantic Way winds down the west coast of Ireland, the world's longest defined coastal touring route. With 157 discovery points, 1,000 attractions and more than 2,500 activities, there is no shortage of sights to see or wonders to experience. Rocky coastline, rollicking green hills and roiling seas characterize the Wild Atlantic Way, which offers travellers the chance to take part in one-of-a-kind adventures and meet people they won't soon forget.
Cliffs of Moher
One of the most beautiful things to do in Ireland is to check out the Cliffs of Moher. Drawing about one million visitors a year, the cliffs have heights ranging from about 400 feet at Hag's Head, all the way up to 700 feet just north of O'Brien's Tower. The Cliffs of Moher make a fine destination for nature-based group tours - Ireland has many species of birds, and 20 different ones can be found here, including Atlantic puffins and razorbills. For this reason, the site has been designated by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area.
Giant's Causeway
Want to see an ancient geographical structure? Geologists believe that Giant's Causeway was formed by volcanic activity which started more than 50 million years ago. Today, it is made up of about 40,000 huge black basalt columns that rise straight up out of the sea and loom over everything for miles around, so much so that they inspired legends of giants. Their beauty and history has earned them a spot on UNESCO's World Heritage list.
Exploring Dublin
Legendary Pubs
Dublin tours are a great opportunity to visit some of the best and most historic pubs anywhere in Europe. Ireland's oldest, the Brazen Head, dates all the way back to 1198 and still features live music every night. Sip a pint in the same location as James Joyce and Jonathan Swift, then head over McDaid's, a bar in the middle of the city that has beautiful ornate ceilings and an extensive beer list. When it comes to Irish pubs, it's hard to go wrong.
Phoenix Park
If you are looking for greenery in your Ireland tours from Dublin, look no further than Phoenix Park, a 2.73 square mile oasis right in the city. It features the Dublin Zoo for animal lovers, the Papal Cross for those interested in religious iconography and is even the founding place for the Bohemian football club.
National Museum of Ireland
The best Ireland tours combine relaxation and education. Those eager to learn more about buildings in Ireland should head to the National Museum of Ireland - Archeology, which has extensive collections and engaging pieces such as the Ardagh Chalice, the Tara Brooch and the Derrynaflan Hoard.
American and Canadian citizens must have a passport that is valid for at least 90 days beyond the intended return date in order to enter and depart the country. Tourists must also provide proof of return or onward travel. Each traveler is responsible for ensuring that his/her passport is up to date. Citizens of other nationalities should check with respective authorities before departure.
Please ensure that the name on your passport matches all travel documents we have issued. If this is not the case, please contact us immediately.
Please make a photocopy of your passport's identification page and keep it separate from your original. It's also a good idea to leave a digital copy with someone at home. This may speed up the replacement process should you lose your passport.
A visa is not required for citizens of the U.S. and Canada for trips of up to 90 days. Citizens from other countries may require a valid visa. These requirements change often and therefore it is best that you check with the Irish Embassy for the most up-to-date visa information.
Cancelation and Medical Insurance is highly recommended as it can safeguard against the expenses associated with in-country medical emergencies, lost or delayed baggage and emergency cancelation or interruption of your trip. Medical facilities in Ireland are comparable to North American facilities. Please ensure your policy will provide you with upfront medical coverage so that you are not responsible for a hefty medical bill. Insurance can be purchased through us.
We always recommend that you see a doctor or health-care provider who specializes in Travel Medicine. They will best determine your vaccination and medication needs based on your health and immunization history, areas of the country you will be visiting, planned activities and up-to-the-minute requirement changes. For all vaccinations and health requirements, we also recommend that you consult the World Health Organization (WHO): http://www.who.int or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) http://wwwnc.cdc.gov.
If there are any medical items that are essential to your health, such as prescription drugs or corrective eye wear, bring duplicates and divide them between your checked bags and hand luggage. While non-prescription drugs such as aspirin are generally available, it is difficult to replace prescription items.
Recommended Items:
Overall, the climate in Ireland is mild but changeable. It is not uncommon the experience all four seasons in one day, so it is important to pack clothes accordingly. Summers are generally warm (average of 15°C), and temperatures cool down to an average of 5 °C in the winter. No matter what time of the year it is, rain can be expected on a daily basis, with more rain in the west compared to the east. For up-to-date forecasts, check weather.com.
Electricity in Ireland is supplied at 230 volts. Square, three-pin sockets are standard in Ireland. A multi-adaptor with different plug configurations can be very useful. We advise not to bring a hair dryer as it could blow a fuse.
Phone: Roaming charges vary between carriers, but tend to be quite costly. Consult your phone provider prior to departure to discuss overseas rates and international package options. It is also possible to purchase a SIM card locally to avoid international charges when calling numbers within Ireland. (You should check to see that your cell phone is SIM card compatible.)
Internet: There are Internet cafés and centres in most urban areas. Some multimedia phone booths, often located at main railway stations and airports, offer touch-screen access.
The Republic of Ireland uses the Euro currency. Euro paper money comes in different colors and denominations (5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 notes). There are also Eurocent coins: 1 cent, 2 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, 1 and 2 Euro. Your largest bills should be 50 Euros, with a combination of 5's, 10's and 20's. We recommend that you bring approximately 100 Euros of spare cash in small denominations to have ready for tips and expenses when you first arrive.
In Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, the pound sterling (GBP) is the official currency and Euros may only be accepted in a pinch. Pound notes come in denominations of £5, £10, £20, £50 and coins come in denominations of 1 pence, 2 pence, 5 pence, 10 pence, 20 pence, 50 pence, £1 and £2.
Generally speaking, we advise bringing €70-100 ( £60- £80) per day, per person, for spending money. Be sure to bring lots of small bills for porters, wait staff and housekeeping (not obligatory and based on your satisfaction).
We recommend that you get local currency from your bank before you leave home or from a bank machine in-country which is much cheaper than an exchange service at the airport or in tourist areas. Your bank card may work, but Visa or MasterCard are more widely accepted. You will need a 4-digit PIN to be able to use your cards in Europe.
Capital: Dublin
Language: English
Currency: Euro (EUR)

Time Zone: UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) & UTC +1
Electricity: 230 volts/50Hz

Presidential Nobel Peace Prizes
Something interesting that I found when I was looking for information on each of the presidents was this piece at the Jimmy Carter NPS which connects the first three winners all to Georgia. Now Carter is the obvious Georgia connection, but here is what they say about Roosevelt and Wilson:
The three Presidents who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize all have family ties to the state of Georgia.
Theodore Roosevelt was awarded the 1906 Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the Russo-Japanese War, reached a Gentleman's Agreement on immigration with Japan, and sent the Great White Fleet on a goodwill tour of the world. His mother, Mittie Bulloch, was born in Hartford, Connecticut but was raised in Savannah, Georgia and then moved to Roswell, Georgia when she was five.
Woodrow Wilson was awarded the 1919 Nobel Peace Prize for his work to bring peace to all nations but died without seeing the Leagues of Nations happen. Wilson was born in Staunton, Virginia but spent the formative years of his childhood in Augusta, years that would affect him for the rest of his life. While living in Augusta Wilson experienced the hardships of the Civil War and Reconstruction.
We'll have to see if they can manage to connect Obama to Georgia now! [Update: Thanks to Frances Hunter, here is the Obama GA connection - a slave girl named Melvinia, valued at $475, is named in a South Carolina will and left to relatives in Georgia. Melvinia went on to become the great-great-great-grandmother of the first lady.] With this introduction, I will be posting information on each of the first three Presidential winners (TR, Wilson and Carter) over the next few days.
2 comments:
I'm looking forward to your series on the presidential Nobel prize winners. I'm currently reading H.W. Brands' biography of FDR, and the section that deals with his time working for Wilson is really interesting. There was a dark side there that FDR later tried not to emulate when he became a wartime president.
Liked the Georgia connections. Obama may not have one, but Michelle does: a slave girl named Melvinia, valued at $475, is named in a South Carolina will and left to relatives in Georgia. Melvinia went on to become the great-great-great-grandmother of the first lady.
- Jennie W said...
Thanks for the GA connection - I'd heard about the slave connection although I hadn't linked it to GA. I'll put a note in the post with a thanks to you...hey, maybe it will make the NPS site!

Deb's Oysters Rockefeller
Every November, our family and friends gather at our home for our annual "Oyster Party". My sons and some of their friends shuck between 300 and 400 oysters throughout the day and I prep, bake and serve them to our guests. Forks are spread out over the platter and everyone just starts grabbing the baked oysters off the tray. The most important part of this recipe is the Hollandaise Sauce that is put on the top of the Rockefeller—this just makes it taste better than any others out there.—Deb Holt, Baltimore, Maryland
Total TimePrep: 1 hour Bake: 15 min.
Makes2-1/2 dozen
- 30 fresh oysters in the shell, washed
