-- back President Obama is taking credit and countless victory laps for the bin Laden kill and now there's a new film that's provoking some interesting debate -- HTT isn't a walled compound.
And DC wants is to put an immediate action plan in place.
Analysts have on several occasions recognize the man who appears -- -- the rest.
HTT is Osama bin Laden.
Tried to film is called seal team six the raid on Osama bin Laden but a -- -- -- -- notes the film was produced by Harvey Weinstein and Obama -- alert.
And the film will air on November 4 the National Geographic channel and News Corp.
property can you can't get more fair and balance the next.
Well look it's convenient rightist could come out right time before the election although two days depending on what kind of impact it's gonna happen but I mean this is theories self promotion on this is Harvey Weinstein is obviously very close to the present he's hosted a number of high profile.
Fund -- numbers -- they're very close out this is something of which what's the due to highlight his foreign policy experience.
If there's anybody.
Who -- -- or dies from this movie and I expect Harvey Weinstein to be picked up and arrested.
And on some kind of murky parole violation.
He must have done -- -- -- starting ticket yeah I could put us in front of others are black in the ninety's this justice of.
Rise -- remember.
On September 11 when that navy seal book came out that and he was contradicting what the press reports have been -- and the administration reports have been about the bin Laden raid.
There was all this outrage.
-- and then we had a big Ghazi attack -- about a month worth of -- blaming the thing Ghazi terrorist attack on a stupid video but now they're moving up the production of this video.
Basically -- and -- -- and there's no other V -- to explain it of the release date except to say they're trying to help a bomblets.
-- -- why do you think I didn't they just say that it's -- News Corp.
property that's net National Geographic areas are so I don't.
I don't know we at News Corp.
its controlling all about it and I don't.
Thanks a leader but I as though I mean if they thought you know it's a problem I mean I guess from would have raised their I think -- I wouldn't that's the point a white delay that other movie till December.
I don't know.
I took between -- there's some new breaking not necessarily break -- with some new Libyan news this morning I believe two people were arrested.
In London if I'm not mistaken Tunisian sprite -- -- be link a little bit to this that.
Yes so on a day that you had the debate coverage is still -- still debate coverage going on in the media and you had the jobs numbers which I was getting a lot of attention.
You actually have this report.
At that email showing that the State Department actually rejected security requests from Libya.
This is one of those slow -- stories.
And I think that that information and news is gonna keep coming out and and keep coming out and will fight we will get to the -- at some point.
Very troubling if -- the State Department today you actually have lied on the record about this.
How did not the biggest deal -- How is this not something it automatically.
Throws this administration and out of offense this I think is so outrageous I mean -- left people there to be murdered.
Despite repeated requests to get proper security there it's very upsetting to me that we have such disregard for people who are serving this country but you know along with that -- No that's all these cuts they're making -- I think it's a fundamental lack of understanding evil in the world which is why didn't have protection their because -- be present dangers they still don't get a crack this deal -- the scary parties know they don't because they were more threatened by a low budget trailer.
Featuring radical Islam that nobody saw they.
Actual radical Islam that people saw it -- from still more frightened.
A four minutes or fifteen minutes of tape that actual kill yellow obvious a real honest it got -- but -- It's into the film that's gonna come out to Kathryn Bigelow movie yeah -- wrote something alerting -- -- accent zero dark 31.
-- -- it's zero dark thirty comes out and it shows you know bin Laden being killed eight.
What's gonna happen in our consulates in and embassies around the world well I I don't know I hope nothing happens I hope the people -- -- little -- -- and -- something that's -- -- there.
Have no I have no clue I mean I mean my worry was you know what Greg said you know if this movie comes out.
The -- we're talking about just a few minutes ago there could be right what would happen I think you're the one that would be rioting.
I think you'd be upset because you think it might help Obama I just don't think people react that way I think -- see it but what did it.
By the way on the Libya story.
I couldn't agree more data look -- more of this comes out people gonna have to decide whether or not the government was negligent but let me get -- -- I thinks I.
I don't I really disagree with you on this you know what because.
-- I'm not a legal standard want you said negligent negligence isn't actually I agree stay -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- people make decisions and what.
Who's new to me today with its that the contingency plans both for the diplomats in the security team were not followed.
On the day of the attack why was that why -- people who -- on the ground in this situation deciding you know what we don't -- are put -- -- like a statement that the.
There as well because the State Department with a bunch of boys club scouts and Girl Scouts trying to fight -- there what they're doing in there under staffing under Manning our consulates and -- see what happens you mentioned some very important -- -- operation happens off the fiscal cliff about a 130 million dollars will be pulled from funding.
Security and earned this haven't they seen and learned enough from -- to realize that that is absolutely outrageous and the cost more lives grant.
I I don't think they have the -- -- 9/11.
We'll leave it there and coming up.

I think Whisper of the Beast will make quite a splash. I don't know if it'll get "the big one" here, but I can see it winning more than one for sure.
I do expect some personal disappointments in the less-mainstream categories though. And I'll be kinda sad one way or another for "Horror/Terror", because I've been split on it to the very end; and as much as I'd love Requiem for a Nightmare to get a VCA, I'd also very much like for Fynjy's awesome and awesomely-underrated work to be properly honored. And both of them have nominations in that category only... So I hope that at least one of them gets it.

Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis
Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra
A 2011 NEA Jazz Master and arguably the most famous jazz musician alive, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis is an iconic figure in the evolution of the art form and a tireless advocate for jazz as America's classical music. From his New Orleans beginnings and fiery debut with legendary drummer Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers to his string of acclaimed albums and current role as Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, he has amassed an unrivaled number of awards and accolades, including nine Grammys and the Pulitzer Prize for Music, the first ever awarded to a jazz artist. Since 1988, Marsalis has led the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, a 15-piece assemblage of virtuosos which has contemporized the notion of a "big band," simultaneously honoring the rich heritage of Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong while debuting a stunning variety of commissions from illustrious names including Joe Henderson, Christian McBride, Freddie Hubbard, Joe Lovano and of course, Wynton himself. This rare San Francisco appearance is a major jazz event, and we are delighted to welcome them to the SFJAZZ Center.

Folks - I really hope you will forgive this very personal post. Two years ago, at the start of my son's junior year in high school, he asked why neither Laurie or I have ever allowed our picture to be published in our own magazine. I, being my normal smart-ass self, told him not to worry about it, but I promised that if he graduated High School as valedictorian, we'd publish his. Well, in 2 hours, he is going to do just that. So folks, congratulations to the Clarksburg High's 2007 valedictorian ( and soon to be UT Honor's Program student), my son Dave. And since I know you read this board Dave, I'm proud of you.... |

Joe and Laurie, Wow. Congratulations to David on his achievements, and it is hard for me to think this is the same kid I met at the first Chat Room Muster at Shiloh back in 1999. I guess my favorite memory of SoX was at Gettysburg many years ago. I can still see him running towards the flank marker on the first day's field as we all stood by the monument to Buford there. SoX with a goatee. Boy are we getting old quickly. Way to go Dave, and I know how proud your folks are of you! Regards from the Garden State, Steve |

Cora Rozendaal
Cora Rozendaal was born Oct. 9, 1912, in the village of Pietrman, near the town of Swyndrecht in southern Holland. Her family consisted of two brothers, two sisters, and a half-sister. Her parents were Peter and Maggie Kool Van Gilst. Her mother died when Cora was 5 years old.
When Cora was eight years old she and her family moved to the United States. They traveled by ship for nine days across the Atlantic Ocean. The family was sponsored by her Dad's uncle. Upon arriving in the states, her father worked on the farm of Barnie Dunsbergen from May 1920 until March 1921. He then started farming for himself in the Killduff area.
Cora received her early education at a school in Holland and after moving to Iowa she attended the Springhill Country School, Jackson School, and McKinney School where she graduated from the eighth grade in 1926. After her schooling she stayed at home to help with the farm work and household chores.

Home tour
What: ARCH presents a tour of 12 homes and gardens in the historic Wildwood Park neighborhood, designed by noted landscape architect Arthur Shurcliff. When: Noon-5 p.m. Saturday. Where: Corner of North Washington Road and Freeman Street. Cost: $12. Etc.: Free lecture at 7 tonight at the Auer Center for Arts and Culture, 300 E. Main St. Julie Donnell will talk about Wildwood designer Shurcliff, and Carol Lupke, longtime resident, will share neighborhood insights. |
Mature trees and a curving driveway give Anne and Jim Heger's English Tudor home in Wildwood Park a sense of presence, stability.
The elegant brick home, built in 1937, is part of the Wildwood Park Home and Garden Tour presented by ARCH this Saturday.
The house is quiet now, with the Hegers' four children grown and living elsewhere. But if those walls could talk, they'd tell the story of four boisterous kids tearing up and down the steps, running from room to room, and playing pingpong in the basement.
The Hegers' history with the home at 3235 N. Washington Road began in 1988 when Jim, a cardiologist, got a job in Fort Wayne, requiring the family to relocate from Indianapolis.
At the time, Sycamore Hills was just being developed, but Anne knew she wanted an older home. With four children, including a baby, "this was the only house I looked at," she said.
Their real estate agent warned them it was in terrible shape, but that didn't deter the Hegers from buying the house, which sat on more than 2 acres of rolling property. Both tennis players, they found a spot level enough to build a tennis court. A sledding hill provided fun for the kids in the winter.
The neighborhood itself appealed to the Hegers as well, with its combination of large and small houses, winding streets, and creek that runs through it. "I'd say our neighborhood is very diverse," Anne said.
The home had been owned by an elderly person who was bedridden, so it was somewhat neglected. Before the Hegers could move in, workers were hired to complete several projects, including removing a chair lift. The projects weren't completed by moving day; when they arrived in Fort Wayne, the house didn't even have a front door.
So the family moved into a hotel for an undetermined number of days. Jim remembers it being just two days; Anne, who was trying to entertain four young children in a motel room, remembers it being longer.
Anyway, the family soon settled in and life commenced in the big house, which they estimate to be about 3,000 square feet.
Over the years, the Hegers embarked on several major remodeling projects. They turned what had been a wet basement into a knotty-pine paneled area for games and recreation, and added a full bathroom.
Unhappy with the kitchen, they considered building a new home around 1994. They looked at property, but at the time Anne said she thought to herself, "Gosh, I really like living in the city. We both did."
So they decided on a major remodeling/expansion project for the kitchen.
It involved knocking out a wall, rerouting a back stairway from the upstairs into the kitchen and adding a bright, sunny area for a table.
The project took nine months, during which time the kitchen was temporary moved to the basement.
One day, while Anne was doing dishes in the basement, a worker, trying not to startle her, told her to look up. There was his head, sticking through a hole in a wall from a room they never knew existed.
The Hegers speculate this underground room, with only a dirt floor, may have been a root cellar at one time. Their son had great fun down there with his friends, pretending to be miners.
Three years ago, the Hegers added a two-car, detached garage to the property so they'd finally be able to park their cars inside. The existing one-car garage is used for stowing lawnmowers and bikes.
Now empty-nesters, the Hegers like to spend time in the kitchen or on the screened porch at the back of the house, where they can watch wildlife that includes birds, chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, raccoons and hawks.
The tiny evergreen tree Anne's mom gave her when she and Jim got married, which got transplanted from Indianapolis, now towers over them in the front yard.
They don't have any plans yet to downsize, but sometimes when Anne is working in the yard, she thinks, "I'm ready."
And if they decide to stay, the house will see more changes in the future. Looking at some floral wallpaper in the stairwell that has been there since they moved in, Anne says, "It's time to start over."

First of all, I don't have a dog in this fight; I'm not a country club member. However, I hate to see lazy reporting and another attempt at what appears to be class warfare. If the reporter actually bothered to read and report on the Tennessee Code that defines the tax break for greenbelts, the story would show that the tax law enacted by the state legislature in 1974 was designed to:
1) Encourage continued production of valuable food and continued production of valuable food and fiber;
2) Prevent the loss of family farms due to higher taxes based on speculation values rather than use values;
3) Provide relief from urban sprawl and green spaces for enjoyment of people who would not normally have access to such areas.
A greenbelt doesn't have to satisfy all three of these criteria, only one. Clearly, a golf course does not meet the first two criteria but it does meet the third. It's a recreational park built with private funds. It is no different from a dog park in that it serves a specific group of people, not the general population. Furthermore, the law does not say that the land in question must be made available for use by the general public.
If the law does not meet the intent of the people who wrote it, then they should amend it so that it doesn't apply to those greedy, wicked, wealthy country club members. However, they should not try to collect five years of back taxes to organizations who took advantage of their poorly worded law.

Periodic Table Elements for names?
Another post inspired this, I would use some elements off the periodic table myself, WDYT? I always liked the periodic table. Ones marked * I have ob my own list, the others I thought would sound interesting:
Xenon *
Nitrogen - this sounds awesome to me
Krypton *
Copper *
Silver *
Mercury *
UraniumCurrent Favorite Names♀ Bayou : Cerise : Clementine : Dallas : Indigo : Katniss : Rapunzel : Wednesday
♂ Brooklyn : Castle : Clyde: : Disney : Kestrel : Page : Paisley : Piper : Tennessee

So, I've never had an English science class before so I don't know an of the elements in English unless they're the same, but the French names I think sound appealing are:
Fluor (though I hate Fleur, lol. I like Flore and Flora, so I guess it kind of makes sense)
Argon (kind of awkward, but kind of stong. Someone on this board likes Aragon, don't they?)
Fer (more as a nickname, though)
Interesting post!Lucia

I quite like the name Selenia (from Selina) but I always get "like selenium?" when I mention it. I was also considering Rosegold as a middle name to honor my mom, who has a rose name, but I don't like it anymore. Titania was one of my first loves, and I still love it, but I wouldn't use it for a few different reasons. And then there's Silveria, which people always tell me sounds like an illness. I blame Naoko Takeuchi for making me think names like Malachite, Zoisite, Beryl, and Cyprine are usable.

Well I've known people with names like Sliver, Neon, Chlorine, and Radon. I can see using the names Neon or Sliver, but I would never use something like Chlorine or Radon.
You also have some of the elements like Vanadium, Ruthenium, Samarium, Astatine, etc. which I reckon could be turned into names.

Rob Bell Has Left The Church For A "Quasi-Intentional Spiritual Community"?
While there is disagreement over the definition of "evangelical" with complex issues, there are foundational points of identity
In fact by the time Bell and Schuller were winding up their ministries, they were not recognized as evangelical by many who remain committed to the authority of scripture, the necessity of personal conversion, and the great commission mandate. In short, countless evangelicals did not recognize them as evangelical. Yes, evangelicalism is in a numeric... Continue Reading
Areopagitica: Freedom of the Press and Christian Journalism
The freer the press, the less the innocent have to fear and the more the guilty need to be worried.
That is why the health of the Christian subcultures in our society depends to an important extent upon the freedom of the Christian press; and that in turn depends upon having plenty of public voices and different groups presenting their different perspectives without the threat of being silenced by those with power and money. ...

Bible Secrets Revealed?: A Response to the New History Channel Series (Part 3)
The newest episode, "The Forbidden Scriptures," is designed to argue that certain books were "banned" or "forbidden" from the New Testament.
In the end, we are again left with a very disappointing episode. Yes, it was entertaining. It was certainly provocative. Unfortunately, it is simply not not historically accurate. For a History Channel production, that proves to be sadly ironic. This is the third installment of a new series reviewing the History Channel series entitled Bible... Continue Reading
Nelson Mandela and the Ironies of History
Nelson Mandela was essential to his nation and to the eradication of apartheid. But no man's life is heroic in every respect, and no human hero can save.
American Christians looking at Nelson Mandela must eagerly affirm that we are thankful that he was used in order to achieve freedom and human dignity for his people. But perhaps we should also be thankful that we know a little bit more of the story so that he is not merely held up as a... Continue Reading
An Unhelpful Description of Sanctification
Sanctification is not "getting back to the reality of our justification."
I don't want to throw Tchividjian under the bus here. I haven't read anything else he's written and I don't follow his ministry at all. Maybe he's clarified this elsewhere. I just wanted to point this out, echoing what Mark Jones said in Antinomianism (p. 111-121), that we should be careful when speaking about biblical truths and doctrines. ... Continue Reading
The ACLU Bids to Make a Beginning of the End of Religious Health Care
The ACLU has filed a lawsuit which would require Catholic hospitals to perform abortions.
What makes the case especially scary (and telling), is the clear attempt to tie religious doctrine to legal harm. Rather than suing the hospital, the ACLU is suing the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for their directives to Catholic health providers that prescribe medical care according to religious principles. As America's first ever two term... Continue Reading
Ingrid Schlueter Resigns From Janet Mefferd Show Over Mark Driscoll Plagiarism Controversy
The controversy continues
I hosted a radio show for 23 years and know from experience how Big Publishing protects its celebrities. Anything but fawning adulation for those who come on your show (a gift of free air time for the author/publisher by the way) is not taken well. Like Dr. Carl Trueman so aptly asked yesterday in his... Continue Reading
Christian Christmas Grinches
I have no problem with anyone who chooses to jump off the super-sized, industrial-strength Christmas bandwagon. Just don't be censorious about it.
There is a time for fasting in the Christian life and a time for feasting. The Old Testament teaches us that. And so does Jesus. If Western Christianity is selfish and bloated, let us be the first to say so and the first to show a more excellent way. But let us be the last... Continue Reading
The Real Meaning of Christmas
One of the most remarkable stories of Christmas comes from one of the darkest moments of modern history
Events like the Christmas Truce are worth celebrating. But they lack something. They lack permanence. Such impermanent peace is what we often find in our quest for the real meaning of Christmas. If we are looking for permanent and ultimate goodwill, love, and peace, we must look beyond our gift-giving, get-togethers, and office parties. We... Continue Reading
An Open Letter to Clarence the Angel (From the Film 'It's A Wonderful Life')
What's the occasion of this, my very first "Angel" letter? I realize it's a tad tardy, but it's regarding the movie that made you famous
Does following Jesus mean one will have a wonderful life? Instead, Jesus promises a joyful life, even amidst significant suffering. In theological language, to expect a wonderful life now is to have an over-realized eschatology. We're living between two worlds, the now and the not yet. In other words, Clarence, the reason this isn't a wonderful life... Continue Reading
Nelson Mandela, 1918-2013
The man who reconciled a divided South Africa dies at age 95
Spinney noted that Mandela, post-prison, was a peacemaker: "Whatever his youthful allegiances, post-1990 he prevented blacks from going violent. He was not vindictive; he sought and obtained reconciliation with whites. The people who really benefited from Nelson Mandela's leadership were white South Africans. Rather than being driven out of South Africa by justifiably angry blacks,... Continue Reading
PCUSA's Covenant Network Marriage 'Adaptation' Tilts the Table
Covenant Network within the Presbyterian Church USA pushing the 2014 PCUSA General Assembly to take the next step in sexual revisionism: the redefinition of Christian marriage
Same-sex advocates can assert that Jesus never said anything directly about homosexuality — it was not a topic of debate among Jews of His time — however, they cannot claim that Jesus never addressed marriage. Nor can they deny that the theme of marriage as the two created sexes "becoming one flesh," imaging the union... Continue Reading
Plagiarism, Personality-Driven Leadership, and the Problem With Evangelicalism
The recent dust-up within evangelical circles over accusations of plagiarism highlights one of the problems with the personality-based leadership that encompasses most of American evangelicalism
Because of the personality-driven leadership inherent in contemporary evangelicalism, the tribalism it nurtures, and the reality that most of American evangelicalism subsists in some variation of the free church tradition, the final outcome of this story is clear. There is no authority that can adjudicate this matter other than the authority upon which both Driscoll and Mefferd... Continue Reading
A Hidden Assumption in the Paedo-Communion Position
Paedo-communion is contrary to the system of doctrine taught in the Westminster Confession and strikes at the vitals of religion
What effect will that have on the young child who cannot yet participate? Well, he will have the gospel preached to him such that conversion might happen. Further than that, he will learn about the Lord's Supper. Both of these things should help create a longing for that communion. This creation of a longing for... Continue Reading
Things Christians Struggle With – Part 3: Finances
There is no evidence that the debt of professing Christians is little different from the general populace
How Christians handle their finances is not the only way they bring glory to God before a watching world, and demonstrate their sanctification. But it is an important aspect of both. Therefore, the body of Christ needs to be diligent in pursuing excellence in this area. As Christ told His followers, "For where your treasure... Continue Reading
A Miracle or Coincidence
Every now and then, unforeseen and special things happen and fill us with wonderment
WOW! I'm looking for one person in the world, not sure how to get in touch with him, and a friend writes and says out of the blue, Oh, by the way, I just had lunch with this man. What are the odds of that? And to make the story even sweeter, it turns out... Continue Reading
Race, Homosexuality and Historical Confusion
The comparison between homosexuality and slavery falls short.
This supposed parallel between Christians in the past using the Bible to justify slavery and the contemporary Church using Scripture to condemn homosexuality is both misleading and confused in its account of church history. Historically, there is no connection between Christian attitudes towards slavery and homosexuality. One approach of gay-affirming scholarship has been to... Continue Reading
A Testimony to the Impact of Christian Rap
The Lord used Christian Hip Hop to drive me to reformed theology!
The production was top quality, the rhymes were absolutely "off the hook" (a good thing by the way), but it was more than the beats and lyrics. From the moment the first song blasted through the headphones, I recognized that these brothers truly had something to say about Christ and His Gospel! Something deeper than... Continue Reading
Cultivating a Christian Memory
Celebrating Advent reminds us that our Christianity transcends national borders and our place in history.
As Christians, when we participate in the various seasons of the church calendar, we are reminded that we are presently connected to Christians all over the world and with brothers and sisters in Christ over the past 2000 years. This rhythm and memory is bigger than any national holiday. It transcends nationalism. When you... Continue Reading
United States Faces Demographic Bomb, Coming Underpopulation Problems
A low birth rate in the U.S. will lead to more economic stagnation just as it has in Europe.
There is no baby-boom – there is a birth-dearth. And, yes, there is economic stagnation and looming long-term economic decline, but this is exacerbated (or perhaps caused by) the decline in birth rates. We have witnessed this in the disastrous economic situation throughout Europe, which is due in part to extremely low birth rates. Europe's fate appears increasingly... Continue Reading

Self is like fish, proverbially speaking. Give a man a fish and you've fed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and, if he turns into a dry-fly catch-and-release angling fanatic up to his liver in icy water wearing ridiculous waders and an absurd hat, pestering trout with 3-pound test line on a...

The Pope and the Right
The Pope urges a move to the left economically on pastoral grounds.
But the church's social teaching is no less an official teaching for allowing room for disagreement on its policy implications. And for Catholics who pride themselves on fidelity to Rome, the burden is on them — on us — to explain why a worldview that inspires left-leaning papal rhetoric also allows for right-of-center conclusions. ...

Why "Where Are All the Good Men?" Rants Need to Stop
The complementarian model needs to be re-examined, not the men who are trying to live up to that model.
Similarly, instead of recognizing that there are problems with the popular complementarian model, especially among men, complementarians are buckling down and becoming more demanding on the men that are sticking around. Eventually the men will jettison it altogether (and I can't imagine women living in this state of bitterness too long before they tire of... Continue Reading
Why Celebrate Advent?
Advent reminds us that the greater redemption we have in Christ is worth waiting for.
Even on this side of Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday, there is brokenness in our world that no cart full of Black Friday bargains can fix; there is hunger in our souls that no plateful of pumpkin custard can fill; there is twistedness in our hearts that no terrestrial hand can touch. "The whole creation,"... Continue Reading
PCA Standing Judicial Commission Member Files Protest for SJC's Failure to Assume Jurisdiction Over Peter Leithart
Protest presented to the PCA's Standing Judicial Commission for answering Overtures 2013-20, 21, and 22 in the negative
The SJC's answer to Overtures 20, 21 and 22 establishes the principle that in such cases a presbytery has completely fulfilled this requirement to act if it has conducted a trial that fulfills all the technical details required by the BCO. With this understanding of BCO 34-1, should a presbytery become unwilling to convict one... Continue Reading
Casualties of War
Perhaps the pastorate isn't dangerous, but I think it ranks up there for the level of stress that pastors suffer.
So, why on earth would anyone want to pursue the pastorate given these casualties of war? Simply stated, there's a fire in your belly and a sense that you just have to pursue the call. A wise colleague of mine once said to a prospective seminary student who was thinking about pursuing ordained ministry, "If... Continue Reading
Adultery Prevention
Here are some practical ways to maintain faithfulness to your spouse.
What do you do when someone other than your spouse shows interest in you beyond the interest of platonic, Christian friendship? If someone is not treating you as a younger sister or a brother (1 Tim. 5:2), how can you think and act in a way that protects your marriage, the church, and the name... Continue Reading
Homosexuality in Culture
Our culture's majority position on homosexuality reminds us that we do not live in Christian America
Where can we be salt and light? So given that homosexual marriage is here to stay—now what? How do we talk about these things in a way so as not to become a stumbling block? What are the critical political issues? How do we engage with both those who hold strongly to a homosexual political position and... Continue Reading
Is the Movie Version of Noah Biblically Accurate?
Don't be taken in by the Noah movie trailer
There were many other bizarre, unbiblical aspects in the preview cut. Though it's possible that some of these elements may not make the final cut (though we suspect most will), compare the above list to the trailer that has just been released! The comparison should be very revealing for you. You wouldn't get much of a hint of... Continue Reading
Christian Rap and Public Apologies
Joel Beeke and Sam Waldron on comments made during the recent NCFIC discussion
Since I wrote the above email both Scott Brown and Joel Beeke have issued apologies for aspects of their comments. I think their apologies show wisdom and humility. Both emphasize the distinction I am insisting on in this blog. Let me only add that my ministry at the NCFIC conference emphasized the crucial distinction I was making at the... Continue Reading

Our clients share a common trait; they seek solutions that will accommodate their changing and growing business.
"Exceeding the competition"
"It's truly a partnership...It's more than just a vendor"
"For every project they've undertaken for us, Adage has come through with flying colors."
"Adage is hands-down the most qualified, responsible, and adaptive development firm that I have ever worked with, coming from 15 years of experience on both the client and vendor side. They not only have expertise on individual platforms and systems, but are able to analyze and optimize the relationships between those systems... this is a complex and often undervalued capability, and for us it is Adage's highest value."
"The City of Naperville has been using the Ektron Content Management System for several years with great success. During this time, our Web site has received numerous awards and we attribute this directly to the system's ease of use and our ability to have multiple content editors within each and every one of our departments. This allows the information to be controlled by those who know it best while our built-in workflow and approval process allow us to maintain a consistent theme. Also vital to the operation of our site has been our partnership with Adage Technologies who have provided system support, training and troubleshooting whenever we have needed it."
"We're thrilled with our new virtual home—and we couldn't have found a better partner than Adage Technologies. Our robust e-commerce site, which also includes an archive dating back to the Goodman's inception in 1925, could not have happened without Adage Technologies and their team of experts. They are responsive, solution-oriented and attentive to every detail. Just after launching, our traffic is up 33% from last year. Now, that's what I call a success!"
"Thank you for creating a web site that effectively represents the Lovejoy brand and our depth of custom-engineered products on the web. With the new web site, product managers and engineers (our customers) can quickly see how our products help complete their solution. We have seen an increase in traffic as well as use of our interactive tools."
"I've seen 3 web launches in my time at Midtronics and have never seen a smooth process until now. The same said for the production process. Thank you for validating my choice to push hard for your services. We are impressed."
"Adage Technologies has become a critical extension of my staff. On every new project, their team steps up with guidance, development expertise, and creative solutions to the challenges we face. Adage Technologies is a true business partner."
Adage helped us develop a website that is unlike anything in our industry. Our new site allows us to use our advanced behavioral engine to offer site visitors a more unified digital experience - whether a visitor is coming to the site for the first time or a customer that visits daily - the site displays content that is relevant to the specific individual based on the complete view of our interactions in every channel.
"I think it's worth taking a moment to congratulate you both on how smoothly this transition has gone. Your professionalism and adaptability represents an excellent change of pace for us. Our site is now successfully live on your server, and the initial bugs appear to be fixed. It's also worth noting that we received your first invoice, and we appear on track to be well under the proposed budget for this initial start-up period. So thank you for your work so far, and we look forward to our ongoing relationship. Very well done."
"Thanks so much to all of you for your hard work with our website over the past year. It has been greatly appreciated! We're really thrilled with your service and expertise. You guys have done fantastic work for us!"

Customizing SMF > Theme Previews
[Preview] justboards Theme
My site is currently decked out with a "justboards" theme I'm working on. It actually removes the category titles from the index page and lists just the boards in a 4 column pattern. There are several ways to adjust the CSS to make it fit (probably) EVERY site comfortably. I tried to figure out a way to get the category titles listed inline, but I could think of a good way to do it and keep the site symmetrical, so I just removed them. Many sites will be OK with no category titles anyway since boards are usually self explanatory. I've also added a quick view bar for when there are new replies to view. This is helpful on forums with a lot of boards so that you don't have to scroll-scroll-scroll to see if there's new posts.
Theme Preview
You will see the unread icon under the "Show unread posts since last visit" in the header. This icon actually uses the same system as the on/off icons, so it's quick, and it actually "grows/shrinks" when there are more or less boards with unread posts in them.
Any feedback is welcome.
looks interesting not sure of the side to side the boxes need some spacing from each other
Woo hoo! I'm the inaugural preview theme :D
Just to be sure, you're referring to the space between the boards (left/right)?
on yoru preview the space between board1 and board 2 etc
Good ideas there. I'd try listing the post and topic numbers above the last post details to make it look less cluttered. Just throw in another hr or something to keep it neat.

Cat Tracks: Arizona stays perfect with win over Clemson
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a football game. So, we give you 'Cat Tracks', providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from Arizona's December 8 win over Clemson. Final score: Arizona 66, Clemson 54.
The Good:
The No. 8 Wildcats now boast a 7-0 record for the first time in 14 years with a win over Clemson (5-3) on Saturday night.
Mark Lyons led the team with a season-high 20 points. He also added four rebounds and four assists for the 'Cats.
Arizona had trouble protecting the ball against Southern Mississippi, but the Wildcats improved in that area against Clemson. They turned the ball over just six times in the game's first 20 minutes.
The Bad:
Aside from Lyons, the Wildcats offense struggled to find any sort of rhythm. Arizona's other players shot just 30.6%.
Solomon Hill had a particularly poor performance, shooting just 2-for-16 with seven points on the night.
Arizona blew a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter before putting together a 25-7 run that sealed the victory.
� Besides Lyons, Nick Johnson was the only other Arizona player in double-digits against Clemson. He scored 13 points for the 'Cats.
� The Wildcats held Clemson to just two field goals in the game's final 8:45.
Coming Up Next:
It will be a battle of undefeated teams when Arizona is scheduled to host Florida on Saturday, December 15.

Like most reviews, my views are the same. Just an average hotel and very plain. But OK. Water pressure and hot water seem to be the common problem here. We had a very active vacation in the Galapagos so a nice shower hot was desired. No such luck. If you complained, water dot a little better. I didn't understand that.... More

amino acids: Amino acids are the buildings blocks used to make proteins. There are about 80 amino acids in nature, but the human body needs only 20 of these for metabolism and growth. Essential amino acids are supplied by the foods we eat. Nonessential amino acids are in foods, but they also can be produced by the body.
autoimmune disease: This is a malfunction of the body's immune system. Normally, the immune system works to defend the body and eliminate infections by destroying bacteria, viruses, and other invading microbes. When the immune system is not working properly, it may mistakenly attack the normal cells, tissues, and organs of a person's own body. Examples of autoimmune diseases include lupus, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves disease, and Guillain-Barré syndrome.
biopsy: A biopsy is a test in which a sample of tissue or fluid is removed from the body and examined with a microscope. A biopsy is usually done to help doctors diagnose cancer and other diseases.
cyst: Located in body tissue, a cyst is a walled-off sack of gaseous, liquid, semisolid, or solid material.
gland: A gland is a group of cells or an organ that produces and releases a substance for use elsewhere in the body. Many glands produce hormones, whereas others release such substances as saliva, sweat, mucous, and tears.
goiter: This is a thyroid gland that is enlarged to the point that the enlargement is visible.
hormone: Hormones are substances that regulate processes such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction and influence behavior and the functioning of the immune system. They are made by an organ, gland, or group of cells and travel (often through the bloodstream) to other parts of the body.
inflammation: This is the body's reaction to irritation, infection, or injury. Signs of inflammation can include redness, heat, pain, or swelling.
metabolism: Metabolism refers to the group of physical and chemical processes by which a living cell or organism converts oxygen and food into energy.
nodule: This is a small mass of rounded or irregularly shaped tissue.
thyroid hormones: The two major hormones produced and released by the thyroid gland are thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones travel to other body tissues through the bloodstream and play a key role in regulating metabolism, growth, and many other body functions.

May 11, 2010 — One can hardly sit in a coffee shop and not over hear adults talk about how children, teens and young adults are disrespectful, rude and have no care what the rules are. After all, rules are made for a reason and every good citizen is one who obeys the laws of the land — including ordinances passed by the Susanville City Council.
May 4, 2010 — The Lassen County Arts Council and others in our community are trying to raise money to save the music programs at area schools. We've done it before, and I guess now we need to do it again.
One could easily surf the Internet and find all kinds of articles about how students, especially young students, benefit from musical education, so there's no need for me to regurgitate all that stuff for you in this column. Type a few words in any search engine, and you're there. But I can easily tell you about my experiences with music in school, and how they positively affected my young life.
April 20, 2010 — National media report Saturday mail delivery may go the way of the milk wagon, and that a wide majority of Americans think that's OK.
Hold on.
Congress must act first, and that is not likely to happen soon. Some Congressional leaders worry about trimming mail service, even if only 35 percent of people surveyed by Gallup last summer disapprove.
April 13, 2010 — Every eighth grader in California knows the First Amendment to the Constitution reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Later this week, Lassen County's Tea Party Patriots will exercise their constitutional right to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances. They will line up and march on Main Street to protest many of the policies of the Obama administration and the Democrat - controlled Congress, and I say, "Way to go."

Sefirat HaOmer
Dora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Basic Law Difference - Purim vs. Sefirat HaOmer
It would seem that in connection with Purim, the obligation is one of "Mikra Megillah," "Reading the Megillah." The definition of communal "Reading" is "Mashmia L'Ozen," "Making known to the Ear;" that is, transferring information from the parchment where the living words lie dormant, to the (heart and brain via the) ear. The mechanism in Jewish Law which allows this to work is the principle of "shomea k'oneh," "the one who hears is as the one who speaks;" with the speaker causing the information to pass into the realm of "dibbur," "expression." Once it is in that realm, it is available to all, including himself; in a sense, at that point, all are equal.
However, in the case of Sefirat HaOmer, the nature of the obligation is to count. The Gemara in Menachot 65B, cites the verse which says "U'Sfartem lachem," "And you shall count for yourselves," implying that the counting should be done by each individual. This means to say that there is an obligation on each person to count, to give expression to his awareness that another day of his or her life has come, a new opportunity for personal spiritual growth.
It is somewhat analogous to an ice-cream cone, although the category of "Birchot haMitzvot," blessings for commandments, and "Birchot haNehenin," blessings on taking pleasure from the world by eating and drinking, are somewhat different. If I am holding that delicacy and am ready to enjoy it, another person cannot make the blessing which one makes on ice-cream cones for me… PAUSE for quick review of basic idea of blessings:
If I am planning to enjoy this delicious object, simple courtesy (and Jewish Law) require me to ask permission from its provider, the Creator of the Universe (rather than the manufacturer of the cone, who has presumably been paid), to do so. This is done by a preceding "bracha," or blessing; in this case, the "Shehakol nihiya bidevaro," "that everything came into existence by His word" blessing. And also, to say "Thank You" by means of a "following" blessing; in this case, the "boray nefashot," "the One Who created many souls" blessing.
Resume …
The other fellow presumably also has much to be thankful for in his life, but not my ice-cream cone!
Similarly, in the Sefirat HaOmer context, in a sense, it is "my time," granted me by my Creator, to use to make myself a better person, that I am counting, and therefore someone else cannot count for me.

I want to lighten my naturally blonde hair to a platinum shade. Will it look good if I have fair skin?
Most natural blondes look great with a cool, monotone white-blonde shade even if they have fair skin, says Marie Robinson, a colorist at Sally Hershberger Downtown in NYC. The shade can always be adjusted slightly to complement your complexion. For example, if you have olive undertones, the hue shouldn't be too ashy or you'll look sallow. Skin with pink undertones should avoid going too golden.
