Zwingli, Huldrych
Huldrych Zwingli 1484–1531
Swiss religious reformer, theologian, and essayist.
A contemporary of Martin Luther and a forerunner of John Calvin, Zwingli was a founder of the Reformed Churches and an important figure in the Protestant Reformation in sixteenth-century Europe. Concerned with political and social life as well as theology, Zwingli broke with the Roman Catholic hierarchy and medieval theology and encouraged theocratic social organization. More radical theologically than Luther and more political than Calvin, Zwingli had a profound influence on the debates that framed the development of Protestantism. Despite some pacifist tendencies, he believed in fighting to establish and defend his vision of a Christian society.
Biographical Information
Zwingli was born in Wildhaus, in the Toggenburg valley, in the rural district of St. Gallen, Switzerland. His family were farmers and magistrates, essentially well-to-do peasants. A good student, Zwingli was educated first in his village, then by his uncle, a pastor in Wesen, until he was ten. Thereafter he was sent to school in Basel and Bern. At fourteen he entered the University of Vienna, where he took a baccalaureate degree in 1504. He returned to Basel, taught classics at a local school, and took his master's degree in 1506. That same year he was ordained by the Bishop of Constance and assigned to the parish of Glarus. He continued studying on his own, learning Greek and reading Erasmus and other humanist thinkers. He remained largely at Glarus for ten years and gradually began his career as a reformer. His first published writings, The Fable of the Ox (1510) and The Labyrinth (1516), were political allegories critical of the Swiss practice of hiring out mercenaries in European wars, the results of which he had observed first hand, having served as military chaplain in Italy in 1513 and 1515. These views were politically unpopular in Glarus, and Zwingli was forced to leave town, though he did not formally lose his post as pastor. He went temporarily to Einsiedeln, where he stayed for three years and began to actively preach in what became the reform tradition, holding that the Bible was the supreme authority for God's will and criticizing such Roman Catholic practices as the selling of papal indulgences. In 1518 he competed for, and eventually won despite some political difficulty, the post of people's priest at
Zurich, where he launched his reform movement in earnest. He took up his position in January, 1519, beginning a series of sermons on the New Testament, critical both of practices of the Catholic Church and the immoral behavior of the citizens. Later that year he fell ill with a plague that struck Zurich and nearly died. His poem Gebetslied in de Pest (1519; Prayersong in the Plague) described the experience, which generally made him more serious and urgent about his goal of reform. By 1522 his ideas had begun to take hold in Zurich and that spring a number of people chose not to observe the Lenten fast, some quite publicly. Zwingli wrote Von Erkeisen und Freyheit der Speysen (1522; Regarding the Choice and Freedom of Food) arguing that there was no Biblical injunction against eating meat during Lent. The controversy, and condemnation by the papal authorities, led to the historic First Disputation, a debate convened by the City Council of Zurich. There he presented his Sixty-Seven Theses (1523), which became the core of his theology. His arguments won over the council of Zurich and led to an unprecedented break with the bishopric of Constance. Among the ideas presented there was a rejection of the celibacy of priests and in 1524 he married Anna Reinhart, with whom he had been living for two years. The following year he published his major work, De vera et falsa religione commentarius (1525; Commentary about the True and False Religion), a thorough presentation of his theological ideas. Many of the ideas set forth here, especially those concerning the meaning of the Eucharist, put Zwingli at odds with Luther. The two debated the issues in a number of treatises and met in 1529 at the Marburg Colloquy to try to reach an agreement that could allow for a unified reform movement. Their efforts failed and the nascent Protestant movement broke into two camps. During these years Zwingli's preaching and writing had been having an effect in Zurich; in 1524 the council ordered all images and music removed from the churches, and in 1525 the mass was discontinued, replaced by a simpler ceremony in the vernacular language rather than Latin. But the growing success of Zwingli's ideas in Zurich, Bern, and Basel led to increasing conflicts with more conservative Swiss districts that maintained their papal affiliation. The tensions finally came to a head in 1531, when a civil war broke out between the Evangelical Swiss and the Five Cantons, rural districts which rejected the reform movement. Zwingli was killed carrying the banner in the battle of Kappel, in October 1531.
Major Works
Zwingli developed his key theological ideas over the course of a decade, beginning with Archeteles (1522; The Beginning and the End), his first major treatise, which criticized many of the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, and ending with his Christianae Fidei Expositio (1531; Exposition of Christian Faith). In between, he published dozens of essays, sermons and letters expounding and defending his views. In the Sixty-seven Theses, Zwingli affirmed the primacy of scriptural authority and rejected papal indulgences, prayers to the saints or any other intermediary between individuals and God, transubstantiation and the mass, the use or display of images and music in churches and worship ceremonies, and the celibacy of priests. He elaborated on these tenets later that year in Auslegung der Gründ der Schlussreden (1523; An Exposition of the Articles). His most comprehensive theological tract was the Commentary about the true and false Religion (1525). Other essays addressed specific and controversial issues, such as: Vom Touf vom Wiedertouf und vont Kindertouf (1525; Baptism, Rebaptism, and Infant Baptism) and Ein klare Unterrichtung vom Nachtmal Christi (1526; A Clear Briefing about the Lord's Supper). Some of his last works addressed basic Christian beliefs: De Providentia Dei (1530; On Divine Providence), Fidel Ratio (1530; Confession of Faith), and the Christianae Fidei Expositio (1531; Explanation of Christian Faith). In all his writings Zwingli sought to free the church from the perceived idolatry of Roman Catholic practices and to build a theocratic community in which local civil leaders would have the right and the duty to regulate church teaching and social life. In this he was as much a political and social reformer as a religious one, and his thinking shows the influence of the humanist thinkers he read and studied. A contemporary of Luther, he insisted as early as 1519 that he had come to his ideas on his own, through reading and interpreting the Gospel, and rejected the notion that he was in any way a follower of Luther. In fact, the two men were in sharp disagreement about many points, most especially the meaning of the Eucharist. In general, Zwingli made a stronger break with Roman Catholic theology. Nowhere was this more clear than in his insistence that the Eucharist was a remembrance, not a repetition of Christ's sacrifice, and that the communion wafer was purely symbolic.
Critical Reception
Perhaps because of his sudden and early death, Zwingli is often forgotten as a founder of the Reformation, along with its giants, Luther and Calvin. While his successor Heinrich Bullinger continued to advance his ideas, he also gradually made concessions. The most significant was at the Zurich Consensus of 1549, where Calvin's more moderate ideas about the Eucharist won. Calvinist doctrine was subsequently adopted by the Swiss Reform Church and spread to other parts of Europe and the British Isles. Among the ways Calvinism differs are a position closer to Luther's on the Eucharist, a rejection of theocracy, and a stricter view on predestination. As Calvinist doctrines grew and spread, Zwingli's name and writings were largely forgotten outside of his native Switzerland. Luther and his followers invoked his work to criticize the Calvinist strain of Protestantism; Catholic theologians went even further, condemning him as a heretic and banning his writings. In the twentieth century, scholars of religious history and theologians have returned to Zwingli's work and ideas. While there is some disagreement about whether there is a coherent and distinct body of thought which can be termed "Zwinglianism," there is no doubt that Zwingli was the founder and leader of the Zurich Reformation, a profound influence on Calvin, and a major voice in debates that shaped the course of Protestantism.

[In the following excerpt from his important study of the Reformation, Beard analyzes the Reformation in Switzerland, comparing the ideas of Zwingli with those of Calvin.]
The history of Swiss Protestantism is peculiar in the fact that it follows a double line of development. It boasts two names of the first rank, Zwingli and Calvin: it had two centres, Zürich and Geneva. And it is obvious to remark that one of these is German, the other French; that standing in close relation to the Rhineland, this to France, Italy, Savoy. The movement in Switzerland divides itself into two parts, chronologically as well as geographically. Zwingli was born on the 1st of January, 1484, and was therefore less than two months younger than Luther. He was at work in his own way—a way which I shall try to describe presently—as early as Luther was. The scene of his activity was the northern and German-speaking Cantons of Switzerland, Glarus, Zürich, St. Gall, Schaffhausen, and afterwards Basel and Bern; while many of the free cities on the German side of the frontier, Strasburg, Constanz, Ulm, Augsburg, Reutlingen, adopted with more or less unanimity his opinions on the Eucharist. But when in 1531 he fell in the Battle of...

[In this essay, Foster gives an overview and explanation of the main precepts of Zwingli's theology.]
The Protestant Reformation rendered two separate and great services in the realm of thought to its age and to the world. One of these was in the protest which it delivered against the Roman doctrinal system; and the other was in its positive contribution to the enrichment and development of Christian theology. The Roman idea of human merit and its relation to salvation had led to a conception of grace, of the operation of the sacraments, of the atonement and the divine forgiveness, to a system of morals, and to methods of discipline, which the adherents of the Protestant faith declared must be swept away, with all their practical consequences in the conception and the conduct of life, and in their stead new conceptions must be introduced. But the system of thought was even then defective. It was not up to the level of Christian experience. It had to be enlarged and perfected. A new doctrine, justification by faith, had to be adjusted to the old, and to be supplemented by a group of other new doctrines which should first bring the system into some degree of completeness. This work...

[In this excerpt from his noted study of Calvin, originally published in 1922, Barth discusses Zwingli's thought in relation to that of both Calvin and Luther.]
In taking Calvin as the specifically and typically Reformed reformer as distinct from Luther, what I have in mind is that because of Zwingli's early death we have only Calvin's and not Zwingli's Reformed theology before us in developed systematic form, and it was Calvin, not Zwingli, who in large part left his imprint on the Reformed world. For a proper understanding of Calvin, however, we must not overlook the fact that the so-to-speak classical representative of the Reformed possibility was Zwingli. In a pure, one-sided, not too cautious, and very exposed form, the Reformed trend is much more prominent in him than in Calvin, who worked out much more sharply the dialectical relation to Lutheranism and thus took some of the edge off the antithesis. In the relation Zwingli was a pure type like the younger Luther. But the pure, or relatively pure, is not always historically the most powerful, and Zwingli's theology could no more establish itself than that of the younger Luther. Since the gods did not love Luther enough to grant him an early death, his early theology was given a...

[In this excerpt from his book on Zwingli's ideas on theocracy, Walton explains the influence of humanist traditions on Zwingli's thought.]
Even if the local traditions which zwingli accepted had not allowed the magistrate an important place in ecclesiastical affairs, the intellectual tradition which molded his thought would have led him to demand it. As it was, the ideas he brought to Zurich fitted the state of affairs in the city remarkably well. For example, his belief that the acquisition of secular authority and wealth had corrupted the clergy was a theme common both to the leading late scholastics and to the humanists of the northern Renaissance, especially Erasmus. Zwingli had come to this conclusion from his study of these sources and, above all, from his knowledge of scripture and from his personal experience. He was one with Erasmus in the desire to put the wealth and power of the church in the hands of the secular magistrate to free the clergy to preach the Gospel.1 At Zurich the transfer was already well under way, and the earlier achievements of the magistracy doubtless inclined Zwingli to an even more willing acceptance of the government's role in the affairs of the church. Zwingli's ideas, pertinent and sympathetic...

[In this essay, originally delivered as a lecture in 1984, Oberman discusses Zwingli's contributions to the Reformation in the political and social context of sixteenth-century Switzerland.]
Is Zwingli's Reformation anything more than an episode between Luther and Calvin? To claim that it had a world-wide or even a European influence seems presumptuous in the light of recent Reformation history, which assigns Zwingli's Zurich to the 'city Reformation' and characterizes this phenomenon in sociological terms as a process of 'communalization'.
If communalization means the emancipation of the city, which dates back to the late Middle Ages, and in conjunction with this, the 'localization' of the Reformation—as compared to the territorial Reformation of the princes—then the events at Zurich in the years 1519–31 are reduced de facto to an internal Swiss affair touching hardly more than the area of the canton. The image of the parochial Leutpriester (secular 'people's priest', that is, pastor) of the local church at Zurich fits this interpretation well. Zwingli was able to unite the religious and the political emancipation of the city with such...

[In the following excerpt, Stephens offers an introduction to Zwingli's thinking as a theologian and reformer.]
Zwingli's theology has many characteristic marks, of which the two most notable are that it is biblical and centred in God. They are not separate, but are intimately related, for the Bible is God's word and not man's and it points to faith in God and not in man.
A Biblical Theologian
The statue of Zwingli by the Wasserkirche in Zurich portrays him with the sword held by the left hand but with the Bible held above it in the right hand. The statue rightly emphasizes the central role of the Bible in Zwingli's reforming ministry. He began his ministry in Zurich on Saturday 1 January 1519, his 35th birthday. He announced that he would begin the next day a continuous exposition of St Matthew, not according to the fathers but according to the scriptures themselves. This action of Zwingli focuses attention on the dominant element in his ministry: the exposition and proclamation of the word.
The preaching of the word meant that the Bible was not God's word in a merely static sense, as something given by God in the past. It was rather for Zwingli the living word of God. Zwingli was to write in A...

Is there some way I can get practice with flying the helicopters and jets outside of a multiplayer match?
Battlefield recently released a patch to all systems for support of a "practice" mode. There are 2 different options:
| |||
There is a co-op level that involves flying a helicopter, but it's not the best chance to practice. There is no way to practice flying a jet outside of a multiplayer match. Your best bet is to attempt to find a flight training server. These are servers which have a low max player amount, instant vehicle respawn, and generally people leave you alone to practice flying, and will only dogfight with you after asking if you wish to dogfight. | |||||||||
| |||
No, there are no unranked servers on ps3 yet which would be needed for this. | ||||

Over 15,000 voters in Thurston County helped achieve this initial victory by signing a petition to get on the ballot. It's time to celebrate this successful, totally volunteer, grassroots effort. The Initiative 'crew' is hosting a community party for those who support this local campaign, and those who want to know more about it. Bring a neighbor, a festive dessert, listen and sing along with The Citizen's Band.
The Thurston Public Power Initiative (TPPI) is a non-profit corporation registered in Washington State. TPPI is a grassroots group of citizen activists committed to granting authority to the Thurston County Public Utility District (PUD#1) to explore electrification. We believe the residents of Thurston County may be better served by a public utility instead of the private company that now provides electricity.
TPPI encourages citizens to vote YES on November 6th to authorize the Commissioners of PUD#1 to conduct a detailed feasibility study in order to determine if electrification of the PUD is in the future interest of Thurston County residents. For further information you can visit us online at our Facebook page or on the world wide web at http://ThurstonPublicPower.org.

The last twenty years have seen a period of rapid change in the Chinese legal system, and law and regulation have played a crucial role in the development of the modern Chinese economy. A multiplicity of laws and regulations passed every year by governments at various levels make the study of Chinese law an increasingly complex task.
A comprehensive presentation of Chinese law to foreign readers familiar with a very different legal tradition is a difficult task involving more than simple linguistic translation. Many rules, principles and practices of Chinese law can only be properly understood by applying Chinese legal thinking and jurisprudence. Taking this into account, the editors and contributors have endeavoured to present Chinese law wherever possible from an angle accessible to those with a common law background, whilst necessarily retaining the use of Chinese legal terminology.
This book encompasses all of the most important aspects of Chinese law, and has a strong practical and case law emphasis which sets it apart from other studies in the field. Edited by eminent academics at the City University of Hong Kong, Chinese Law offers the most up-to-date, detailed and comprehensive coverage of the subject ever published in a single volume.

Outside In is open seven days a week, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday.
Safety plating divides the six lanes in both of the indoor civilian ranges, where sound-absorbing material muffles the blast of bullets hurtling toward targets on a 25-yard journey. Visiting shooters can test their aim with a rental gun or purchase a new firearm from the showroom, which also stocks an array of holsters, spotting scopes, and replacement grips. Meanwhile, gunsmiths spruce up pistols with cleanings, coatings, and tiny top hats, while the staff's NRA-certified instructors enhance pupils' handgun knowledge, safety, and skills during private lessons and women's-only classes.
Glenmary Country Club's 18-hole golf course sprawls across 6,542 yards of carefully cut fairways as they cleave through lofty trees and neighboring residences. Slick bentgrass greens, multiple water hazards, and horn-blasting garden gnomes supply the bulk of the difficulty on this relatively challenging course, which plays to a par 72 from all three tee options. Divot-tearing duos can loop the emerald links astride a golf cart to save their strength for towering drives and confronting the trash-talking squirrels hiding in the dense tree lines that surround holes six and seven. Glenmary Country Club enforces a dress code that requires all players to wear a collared shirt and prohibits denim.
Amid the hustle and bustle of the city, Louisville Nature Center offers a tranquil escape from urban sprawl. At its 41-acre Beargrass Creek State Nature Preserve, more than 2 miles of hiking trails wind past a verdant forest populated by 180 species of tree, shrub, and wildflower. The latter blooms in a native pond and garden, and dragonflies and 30 butterfly species in other gardens pay homage to Lord of the Flies by trying to collectively lift a conch. More creatures soar skyward inside one of Louisville's only bird blinds, where visitors can watch 150 species of resident and migratory birds fluttering about.
After exploring on their own, guests can relax on one the picnic tables or beneath the covered gazebo before joining in on special events such as owl hikes. Youngsters, meanwhile, can discover more nature factoids at summer camps, educational programs, or birthday parties, which include guided hikes and live animal presentations.
Snap Fitness's around-the-clock gyms enable members to work on their physical well-being with a cornucopia of fitness equipment. With 24-hour access, members don't have to let The Man tell them when to help themselves to Snap's strength and cardio equipment, which features built-in TVs and other media diversions. For those who exercise during conventional hours, Snap's friendly, unintimidating atmosphere welcomes patrons of all ability levels, unlike schoolyard dodge-ball squads. Members also enjoy nationwide access to all Snap Fitness locations, ideal for working out while traveling.
For a dose of custom advice, patrons can seek out a personal-training session with a certified coach, who helps them assess and address their fitness goals. Clients reap the benefit of individual attention as a personal trainer helps them tackle weight loss, prepare for an arm-wrestling competition, or unveil the mysteries of arcane cable-weight machines.

Erin Foster's article gives a brief history of Surrealism in cinema beginning with the desire of French filmmakers in the avant-garde movement to establish itself against Hollywood, the role of Impressionism and Dada in the years before Surrealist cinema, and then focusing on a few directors (such as Dulac and Buñuel and Dalí) and a few films (such as The Seashell and the Clergyman, Un chien andalou, and later films). She writes that The Seashell and the Clergyman was the only screenplay of his scenarios that Artaud completed and he deposited it at a film institute because he lacked the money to produce it himself where it was picked up by Dulac. "The surrealists considered Dulac, who was already well established in the Parisian avant-garde film community, to be strictly impressionist—too loyal to traditions of naturalism and symbolism for their liking" however "Dulac followed Artaud's script closely in her 1928 film, only changing a few practical elements when necessary" (Foster). Foster comments as well on Artaud's rejection of Dulac's film as "a distortion of his theories on surrealism" but does not mention his subsequent acknowledgement of it as the first Surrealist film. Foster also adds later that "Though the surrealists themselves rejected the film, most critics today consider La Coquille et le Clergyman to be the first surrealist film".
Foster's article adds another layer of complexity to an attempt to discern whether The Seashell and the Clergyman should be considered the first Surrealist film: the rejection of contemporary Surrealists despite it's characterization by modern critics. The analysis in the works by Flitterman-Lewis and Williams revealed that not only did Dulac's movie fulfill some of the basic elements of Surrealist films, namely in its characterization of a dream as well as its attempt to create a participatory experience for the viewer, it was also accepted as Artaud as the first Surrealist film regardless of his own dissatisfaction with it. The film satisfies these criteria, but how should the perception of other Surrealists who denied it's status as Surrealist play into this evaluation? Here Artaud's own reactions should be considered as he was a Surrealist. His initial rejection of the film is overshadowed by his later acceptance of it (perhaps in the vein of conflicting, surprising messages that permeated Surrealist work) as the first Surrealist film. Ultimately, the question becomes one of criteria: should the evaluation of modern critics based on theories of Surrealism in art be valued more than the seemingly arbitrary (at the time, Artaud was the only one who had written a somewhat comprehensive theory of Surrealist cinema; see Flitterman-Lewis) evaluation of contemporary Surrealists? In the end, Artaud's own evaluation based on the methods and goals of later Surrealist films and that of modern critics is more convincing than that of contemporary Surrealists who, as Artaud illustrates, have a conflicting record of what they consider to be Surrealist cinema.

Aroma: Sweet syrupy strawberry and jam. Taste: Not as potently sweet as I was expecting, which works in its favor. Starts with a slightly watery strawberry flavor that builds in aggressiveness until the finish. The finish is crisp and the aftertastes leaves a quite interesting taste of winterfresh gum on the palate. The sorghum is hidden very well here and is only slightly detectable. At 6% ABV it drinks like a lighter beer but that can mostly be attributed to the high level of effervescence. Mouthfeel: Just below medium in body with above average carbonation. Decent drinkability and definitely sessionable for those with a gluten allergy. Final Thoughts: I'm not sure this beer was all that fresh but it's difficult to find any flaws. The fact that this beer is gluten-free is hardly brought up in the flavor. Another good beer from a great brewery. Would I drink it again? Yes, tweasonally.

No. You are actually given guarantees about memory layout. They're not phrased as such, but they're quite rigid. (This is rather different from the situation with, for example, pointers, where you are explicitly not guaranteed that pointer types are interchangeable.) Perry Interesting... We have coding standards here (JPL) for flight software (derived from MISRA to a large part), which I will readily concede is NOT generally HPC computing, that assert that one cannot depend on a particular memory layout, unless it's explicitly defined somehow.

Notes from the Weekend is a feature that sees the members of Team Meal Ticket compiling all the food/drink highlights uncovered during prime eatin' time, Friday to Sunday. We'd love to hear all about YOUR weekend eating adventures in the comments. Go for it! (View past NFTW installments at citypaper.net/notes.)

After some Friday evening family action including a haven't-had-one-in-years ice cream pie from Baskin Robbins I headed back into the city for late dinner burgers and beers at Fountain Porter. After that we made our way over to The Dolphin to check out a few of their new Art in the Age cocktails. There must have been a run on the Negronis since there was no Campari in house but the Sageside (sage, gin, lime and mint) that I sampled was awesome and about a billion times classier than my usual citywides.—CR
After a late night flight to snowy Denver (and dinner at the awesome, serving-till-midnight Euclid Hall), C and I skipped down to Punta de Mita, a town about an hour north of Puerto Vallarta on Mexico's Pacific coast. There, the weekend's working vacation involved yours truly eating bushels of tropical fruit and tacos everyday, drinking too much mescal and generally relaxing by the beach between interviewing assorted hotel personnel. Not a bad gig. If you're ever down that way, hit us up in the comments, and try to get to Sayulita, an awesome little village with an expat surfing community, roadside ceviche stands and cool little farmers' market.—AE

The long view and N. KoreaApprehension hangs in the air as Korea starts 2012. The sudden death of Kim Jong-il in the closing days of 2011 put worries about North Korea back on the table at a time of great uncertainty in the world economy. The year holds the potential for dramatic political changes with National Assembly elections in April and a presidential election in December. As a result, Korea will spend the year with intense focus on domestic, North Korean, and international issues at the same time. Sudden changes in North Korea produce a torrent of predictions about collapse of the regime. Some predict a rebellion, others a coup and civil war, while others appeal to the inevitability of freedom and democracy. The problem with predictions about North Korea is the same as predictions about other events taking place: journalism in the future tense is speculation, not reporting. A more constructive approach to thinking about North Korea is to channel the French historian Fernand Braudel and take the ``longue durée," or long view, of history. The long view focuses on the conditions and structures that move history over long spans of time. In applying the long view to North Korea, we need to think about how political change has occurred in other societies. Several important conditions relevant to North Korea emerge: Political change follows economic change. Economic groups and classes rise and fall slowly as they interact with new ideas, resources, and technologies. The rise of the merchant class and the decline of the samurai in Edo-period Japan, for example, slowly weakened the Tokugawa governments control over society, which helped create the conditions for the Meiji Restoration in 1868. Similarly, the rise of a merchant class in Italy and Northern Europe gave rise to the Renaissance that began in the 14th century. In looking at North Korea, then, we need to think about which groups and classes are rising and which are falling. Few outsiders know the contours of North Korean society well, but we know that increased trade with China and the spread of private markets in the 2000s has created a nascent merchant class. Observers of North Korea often argue that this class prefers the status quo, but history suggests that, although the merchant class rarely leads change, it shifts its loyalty and embraces the new political structure quickly. Political change requires facilitators. Rebellions and revolutions do not happen without an alternative built around some degree of organization. Again, the example of the Meiji Restoration is apt. Fearing that the weak Tokugawa government would turn Japan into a colony of the West, young revolutionaries from peripheral areas gradually united behind the cause of making a modern state with the emperor as a strong political symbol. Violent revolutions such as the American Revolution in 1775, the French Revolution in 1789 and the Russian Revolution in 1917 would not have happened without leaders who offered an alternative vision to the status quo. The problem with North Korea is that we do not know whether there are any groups working underground to facilitate change. Nor do we know what alternatives they may be proposing. We know more about the military and the party, and we know that they supported Kim Jong-il and are supporting his son Kim Jong-un. Political change follows new contacts. New contacts, both inside and outside a society, create new perspectives that lead to new ideas. To return to Edo-period Japan, American Commodore Matthew Perry's demand that Japan open itself to trade in 1853 made the Japanese realize how vulnerable they were, which provided the stimulation for anti-Tokugawa reform movements. Fast forward to 2011 when Facebook and Twitter helped anti-Mubarak activists in Egypt exchange information and organize until they were shut down at the peak of the demonstrations. North Korea understands the role of contacts in providing impetus for change, which is why it tries so hard to limit contacts with the outside world. That North Korea remains the most secretive society in the world shows how successful the regime has been at restricting contact. The spread of private markets in the 2000s, however, has made that task more difficult and information about the outside world is getting in. The above conditions suggest that political change in North Korea will come after further development of the merchant class and increased contact with the outside world. Such developments will stir thoughts of alternatives to the status quo that will eventually gravitate to a facilitated alternative. Changes in the 2000s have planted the seeds for such change, but the seeds have yet to germinate. The long view, in turn, suggests that the seeds of change in North Korea will indeed germinate as they have throughout history, but that we do not know when. The question for South Korea, then, is how its interaction with North Korea affects the seeds. To that, nature provides a simple answer: water and sunlight.

Do what I do. I give first person presentaions. Make up a charcter and describe the story of a battle a seen through there eyes. Like this one of my great-great-great-great grandfather I do, except its about his whole life. [size=The name is Henry, Henry Humphries to be exact. I was born on Christmas Day in the year 1815. I was a Christmas present to my family so to speak. My father was William my mother was Cinthia. Her birth name was Cinthia Manning. I was born on the family farm in good ole Kentucky. When I was twenty-one years old I married a fine lady form Kentucky on August 13,1837 in Chariton County, Missouri, her name was Elizabeth Ashby, she was the daughter of Jesse Ashby and Sally (Lucas) Ashby. We had our first child William, in May 24,1838 in Missouri]. After that we had a total of ten children including William. They were as follows: Of course there was William in 1838, then there was Syntha in 1840, Adaline in 1841, Benjamin in 1843, Mary in 1846, Larkin in 1848, James in 1851, Arminda in 1852, Elizabeth in 1855, and last but certainly not least Josephine in 1857. All of these children were born in Missouri some in Carroll County of that state and some in the Town of Bosworth of that County. In 1850 me and my nephew Benjamin Ashby went to El Dorado County, California in search of gold if you wanna know if we had any luck well what do you think? Well all you need to know is that we came home to Missouri. Well when the war broke out we hadn't the slightest clue as what to do. Neither my sons nor me liked the Yankee Invader coming South telling us what to do. So with Dixie we stood. I figured I was too old to fight. Or so I thought. I was 45 years old. My son William had married a women named Louisey Winfrey in 1858 and already had one child. My grandson. His name was Harrison. My daughter Syntha had married a man named Clark McClary. He was good man. Well my son Benjamin came to me on day when I was working in the barn. He told me his intentions of joining a Regiment. So I went along with him. He went into town and enlisted in CSA army, 11th Co. Col. F.L. Robertson's Reg't, Missouri State Guard. F.L. Robertson was the colonel commanding a regiment raised for service in the Missouri State Guard, which had not been permanently organized when we was captured, Dec. 19, 1861, near Milford, Mo., while enroute from Grand Pass, Saline County, Mo., to join Gen. Sterling Price's army. My son and I were sent to Jefferson Barrack, Federal prison, St. Louis, Missouri. I decided to take the oath of allegiance on January 18,1862 I was 47. There were other ways I could help Dixie with out fighting. It was better than being in a Prison Camp doing nothing, taking orders from Yankees. Mo son saw differently, so he stayed, but then decided the same. He signed the oath on February 18,1862. We went home. After that we did just about anything to support Dixie. He cheered on General Turner Ashby who was actually a distant cousin of my Wife Elizabeth, until he was killed. When the war was over. I felt a senses of relief but sadness still. I died at the age of 58 on December 6,1873 in Bosworth, Carroll County, Missouri. I was buried in Winfrey Cemetery. I was only a few days short on my 59th birthday. [size=Copywrite of me, dont noone dare use it with out permission ya hear.] |

You really can't discuss every battle or even most battles because there are just too many to discuss in a reasonable amount of time. Also, many of your classmates most likely do not share your enthusiasm for Civil War history. Thus it will behoove you to find a way to interest them. I like Reb to Death's idea of acting out a part of a Civil War character or Crazy Delaware's idea of Civil War mistakes. Or you could choose one amazing battle that is truly unusual but not really complex to explain such as the Battle of the Crater. |

The Algarve is well known for its villas, golf courses and also for the many attractive fishing villages - and hence, of course, for the seafood, which is delicious. The Atlantic location means although very hot in June, July and August, the heat is not overpowering. The climate remains warm in Spring and Autumn, and over winter you get warm days, but the nights are noticably cooler. The attractive town of Lagos, the third largest in the Algarve, offers narrow cobbled streets, a modern marina, colourful open air and covered markets, lively bars and restaurants serving both local and international cuisine, as well as shops of every description. Praia da Luz is a lovely family resort with a long sandy beach backed by a lovely tree lined prom, great for an afternoon stroll and a drink at a beach bar. Albufeira is a bustling town, yet still manages to retain much of the original charm and character of its fishing village history. You can explore the Old Town with its maze of narrow white cobbled streets, home to a vast array of shops, bars and restaurants serving traditional and cosmopolitan fare.

December 7th, 2012
There were many highlights in 2012 for The Wedge. And if we could air them all, well, we'd need a ten-hour special. So, we got ruthless and chopped them down to 30 minutes… or 22 with commercials. Best of all though, Damian shot his throws in the super secret, we-probably-even-shouldn't-be-posting-this Wedge archive located three miles beneath the Earth's surface.
Warning: There is some nudity. But you're probably used to seeing Damian sans clothing at this point.

Some kids grow up in places called "suburbs" where the only market they get to cruise through is the supermarket, and pretty often it's with their mom. Now, we all know moms are the best, and that there are worse places on Earth than a supermarket, but let's get down to brass tacks here and talk about one of the most vibrant neighbourhoods in the city: Kensington Market. If you like vintage clothes, neat coffee shops and watching hipsters hang with hippies, than you'll love this gem located west off Chinatown.
To get to Kensington Market, take the College streetcar to Augusta Avenue (one stop west of Spadina) and walk south.
Kensington is kind of unofficially divided into three sections: restaurants and boutiques along Augusta, food shops along Baldwin, and vintage stores along Kensington Ave. In addition to this list, you should pop your head in to this delicious South American boutiques that line Augusta, try all the yummy bulk barns along Baldwin, and grab berries or other treats from the open-air fruit and veggie markets!
Here are places you should definitely explore.
For great vintage, go to Kensington Ave. There are about fifteen vintage stores on this one block that have everything from gently used pink chucks to the cutest 1960s sundresses and racks and racks of denim cut-offs.
Here are some of our favourites:
Exile (22 Kensington Avenue, 62 Kensington Avenue)
Exile is great at Halloween, and awesome in between. This is the place for your vintage basics: Levi's, plaid shirts, denim jackets, fur coats, leather coats, jerseys, and more, as well as costume-y items year round, like fishnets, wigs, and more.
Flashback (25 Kensington Avenue)
Great for shoes.
Sub Rosa Vintage (16 Kensington Ave)
It's rare if there aren't ten things you'd want to buy immediately upon arriving. A very well-curated shop, indeed.
Dancing Days (17 Kensington Avenue)
The usual vintage fare, plus hammocks and other hippie paraphernalia.
Courage My Love (14 Kensington Avenue) At Courage, racks of beads and jewellery, incense and knickknacks hang alongside cashmere sweaters, vintage lingerie, Victorian-style button-ups, and the owners often have stories about the items, like a dress that used to belong to her mother, or a luchador mask he picked up on his travels in Mexico.
Sole Survivor (16 Kensington Avenue)
Get your shoes fixed by an awesome lady cobbler!
The Grilled Cheese (66 Nassau St.)
Mmmm. The Grilled Cheese features mouthwatering sandwiches with crazy combinations, and a fun atmosphere—picnic benches on the patio in the summer, and a retro vibe inside.
My Market Bakery (184 Baldwin St.)
The counters are positively bursting with really tasty treats, including sugar cookie blue jays and Bee Sting bars—the lovechild of baklava and shortbread. The shelves are full of loaves, Montreal bagels, and other tasty treats.
Big Fat Burrito (285 Augusta Ave.)
The place to go for delicious Sweet Potato burritos (Seriously, add sweet potato to everything.)
Moonbean Coffee (30 St. Andrew St.)
This is a hustling and bustling coffee shop that captures the spirit of the market. Tea, coffee, ice cream-y treats, and delicious food.
Hot Beans (160 Baldwin St.)
The most delicious vegan burritos, tacos, and donuts in the city. Yeah, donuts.
Kos (61 Bellevue Ave.)
This is the place for super cheap greasy-spoon breakfast with your best friends.
iDeal Coffee (84 Nassau St.)
A great coffee shop with an excellent front patio that has a communal vibe.
Wanda's Pie in the Sky (287 Augusta Ave.)
Best croissants ever, plus delicious vegetarian lunch options, sweets, and, oh yeah, PIE!
Model Citizen (279 Augusta Ave)
Quality Canadian clothes and accessories, and on-site silkscreening workshop. If you love having stuff that no one else owns but everyone will want, head to Model Citizen.
Bungalow (273 Augusta Ave)
Awesome vintage and new clothing and accessories
Kid Icarus (75 Nassau St.)
This is the place to get quirky birthday cards, pretty wrapping paper, and cool band posters.
Blue Banana (250 Augusta Ave)
Literally everything under the sun – except blue bananas. This is a sprawling market-style space with handcrafted and quirky goods.
Good Egg (267 Augusta Ave)
If you love to cook, or know someone who does, or you just like fun items, Good Egg is the store for you.
Sonic Boom (201 Augusta Ave.)
RECORDS! Proclaims the light-up sign above Sonic Boom, and that's what you get. Vinyl, and music books.
Pedestrian Sundays!
Check out Kensington Market on Sundays in the summertime for full reign of the streets on foot, buskers, passing drum parades, delicious treats to sample along your walk, and some really killer people watching.
Kensington warnings:
- Don't go late at night
– There are some sketchy characters in the park
- Hot summer day = fish is smelly.

The best of Scottish food and drink Visit Edinburgh and you can enjoy fantastic food and a buzzing nightlife. Whether you are looking for the best of Scottish traditional cooking, cutting edge Michelin starred perfection or just a refreshing pint in an atmospheric pub you'll find it in Edinburgh.
Top Edinburgh eating and drinking experiencesYou'll never have to worry about finding a place to be fed and watered in Edinburgh – the Scots know how to put on a great spread. Whether you're in need of a coffee shop to rest your weary legs after a day of sightseeing or a slap-up meal in a Michelin starred restaurant, you'll find it in Edinburgh. And of course, where better to sample the world's best whisky?
Start with a warming dramWhisky is Scotland's national drink, so a visit to the Scotch Whisky Experience is a must for any whisky-lover. Take a swirling, bubbling barrel ride though a replica distillery and discover the secrets behind whisky making; learn about the aromas of whisky and match a Scotch Whisky to your palate; marvel at the world's largest collection of Scotch Whisky (around 3,500 bottles!) and sample a dram of delicious Scotch Malt Whisky along the way.
Get inspired over coffee and cakeIf you fancy a great cup of coffee and a cake, head to The Elephant House in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. This gourmet coffee house was voted 'best coffee house in Edinburgh' by The List magazine, but that's not it's only claim to fame – it was in this very coffee shop that J.K. Rowling wrote many of the early Harry Potter books. Take a seat in the back room overlooking Edinburgh Castle and wait for inspiration to strike.
Meet the local producersTucked away by the Scottish coastline, Edinburgh is a natural larder full of great fresh produce. And there's no better place to sample that produce than Edinburgh Farmers' Market, where you'll find everything from organic Scottish meat and fish to specialities including organic beer, liqueurs and chutneys. Find it on Castle Terrace next to Edinburgh Castle every Saturday.
Give the national dish a go…If you're going to sample the national drink of Scotland, it's only fair that you try the national dish too. You won't have to try too hard to find haggis, neeps and tatties (that's turnips and potatoes to non-Scots) in Edinburgh, but locals and travellers will point you towards the Last Drop pub for a sample of the very best. And if you'd like to take some of the very best Scottish haggis home with you, visit the Macsween of Edinburgh shop.
…or try it with a twistMaybe the whole meat and two veg thing isn't quite your style and you'd like to try haggis made a bit differently? Step forward Illegal Jack's and their tasty burritos. Choose from traditional fillings including beef and chicken, or keep it local with spicy Scottish haggis or vegetarian haggis. Don't forget to wash it all down with a Scottish beer or cider.
Have a wee drink in a wee pubTucked away in a tiny street in the Old Town is a tiny pub called the Halfway House, 'Edinburgh's smallest and friendliest pub'. This small but perfectly formed gem of a pub is steps away from the Royal Mile, so the perfect place to stop after seeing the sights. Sample the real ales and freshly prepared, locally-sourced food and you'll never forget the Halfway House.
Celebrate the best of Edinburgh's food sceneWith so much great local restaurants and produce to choose from, it's hard to try everything on your trip to Edinburgh. Food festivals are the perfect solution – the best of Edinburgh's food scene all at once. Don't miss the annual Taste of Edinburgh Festival, where a selection of the best restaurants in the country dish up their finest food alongside 100 producers. And at the Edinburgh Foodie's Festival local chefs share their kitchen secrets as they cook up a feast of local and seasonal produce in the chef's theatre.
Relax with a WHISKIAfter a long day of sightseeing, head to WHISKI Bar and Restaurant on the Royal Mile for a warming dram of whisky. With over 300 malt whiskies and blends to choose from, as well as Scottish lager, ales, craft beer and cider, you'll be spoilt for choice. You'll also get to sample live Scottish music – it's on 7 nights a week.
Don't miss tea timeIf you'd prefer a cuppa over a dram, why not treat yourself to afternoon tea? Edinburgh is packed with great places to enjoy this very British ritual, but our favourite is the Bollinger Bar at the Balmoral Hotel. This place is an award-winning afternoon tea venue offering a selection of 20 exclusive loose-leaf teas accompanied by a variety of sandwiches, scones and cakes, or a glass of champagne if you're feeling fancy.
Have dinner with the starsDid you know that Edinburgh boasts more Michelin-starred restaurants than any other part of the UK outside London? So if you're looking for an award-winning dinner, you're in for a treat. At The Kitchin in Leith, chef Tom Kitchin cooks with only the very best local and seasonal produce; Number One at the Balmoral Hotel has retained a Michelin Star for 10 consecutive years thanks to its innovative menu; and at 21212, chef Paul Kitching merges his modern style French cookery with New Town elegance.

For a discussion, see DynamicBindingVsLexicalBinding.
Emacs 24 has lexical binding, if you want it. To use it, set 'lexical-binding'
and evaluate code in the same buffer.
You can have closures in Emacs – no need for FakeClosures!
(setq lexical-binding t) (setq test (let ((foo "bar")) (lambda () (message foo)))) => (closure ((foo . "bar") t) nil (message foo)) (funcall test) => "bar" (let ((foo "something-else")) (funcall test)) => "bar" ; would have printed "something-else" with dynamic binding
the defun
special form doesn't work properly in lexically bound contexts (i.e. when lexical-bindint
has value t
) as of Emacs 24.2.1. For example:
(let ((counter 0)) (defun counting () (setq counter (1+ counter))))
will not work as expected because the symbol counter
in the defun
will be bound to the global variable of that name, if there is one and not the lexical variable define in the let
. When the function counting
is called, if the variable doesn't, exist then it will obviously fail. Hoever if there is such a global variable it be updated, which is probably not what was intended and could be a hard to trace bug since the function might appear to be working properly.
The byte compiler does give a warning if you use defun
in this way and presumably the issue will be addressed in some future version of Emacs, but until then the following macro can be used:
(defmacro defun** (name arglist &rest body) "Define NAME as a function in a lexically bound context. Like normal `defun', except that it works correctly in lexically bound contexts. \(fn NAME ARGLIST [DOCSTRING] BODY...)" (when (fboundp `,name) (message "Redefining function/macro: %s" `,name)) `(eval-and-compile (fset (quote ,name) (lambda (,@arglist) ,@body))))
If you define counter
as follows:
(let ((counter 0)) (defun** counting () (setq counter (1+ counter))))
it will work as expected and update the lexically bound variable count
every time it is invoked, while returning the new value.
NOTE: The macro always makes a globally visible function even if you try binding the function to a lexical variable. For instance, if you do the following:
(let ((something 10)) (defun** something () ......... .........))
you get two symbols with the same name: something
. One is lexically bound to number 10 and one is bound to a non-lexically bound function. If you want lexically bound functions you can use the lables
macro from the cl package.
Note: I have named the macro defun**
so that it doesn't clash with the macro defun*
in the cl package, however it doesn't depend on that package. — Bernard Hurley
As of 2013-01-15, `defun` in the Emacs trunk appears to work correctly in lexically bound contexts so this hack is no longer needed. — Bernard Hurley
To enable lexical binding in your elisp library put a line like this at the top of the file:
;; -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
This will enable lexical-binding for the code in the file, but global variables declared with 'defvar'
will still be dynamically bound.

Amid conflicting reports this morning about whether the Cash for Clunkers program is still operating (there is some indication that the Obama Administration suspended it at midnight, after the $1 billion fund ran dry, while statements out of the White House this morning seem to indicate they're looking for a new source of funding) it ought to be obvious why its runaway success is a failure.
Update 1:33 p.m.: The House has voted to spend another $2 billion on the Cash for Clunkers program, according to the Washington Post, swiping the funds from an energy loan fund guarantee program.
The government bought a lot of clunkers.
The program was originally conceived to accomplish multiple goals:
Economically, it was supposed to boost he ailing U.S. car industry by helping to jumpstart the market for new car sales.
Politically, it was supposed to please voters who like getting rebates of up to $4,500 for doing nothing.
Environmentally, it was supposed to replace the oldest, most highly polluting cars on the road with new and efficient models.
Originally, the bill Congress discussed did a lot to bolster that third goal: There was a provision for using trading clunkers in for public transportation credits, and a provision to allow for the purchase of a highly efficient used car. The new cars that qualified had to meet strict fuel economy standards.
All that flew out the window, though, when the plight of the automakers took center stage. The final program Congress approved was so weak it subsidizes more bad decisions. You can trade in a junky truck for a new clunker that gets as little as 15 mpg. You can trade in an old SUV for one that gets as little as 18 mpg. And you can swap either for a car that gets as little as 22 mpg.
In just two years, every automaker must reach the federally mandated fuel economy standard of 27.3 mpg. In other words, we taxpayers just bought a bunch of cars, trucks and SUVs that are well below average vehicles.
Congress tossed its the environmental goal out the window like a cigarette butt, and its voter satisfaction goal is likely to follow. It seems likely that either many Americans won't be able to take advantage of the program, or else taxpayers will be asked to pay more to fund it's extension. That isn't likely to please many. If Congress had set the bar higher, there would have been a smaller pool of people interested in taking advantage of the program, and the overall satisfaction would be higher.
There's no data available yet about which cars Americans actually chose to buy after trading in their clunkers. It could be they bought only the most fuel-efficient 2009 vehicles, and that would be a great improvement for the environment, given that transportation contributes significantly to global warming, smog and acid rain. (If you are still eligible, see these Cash for Clunkers tips to magnify the value of the government subsidy, for both you and the environemnt.)
If only Congress had built the assurance of that end result into the program.

When one spends a Saturday afternoon watching college football, he or she might believe that being a college athlete is full of glitz and glamour.
Don't be fooled.
Most of the athletes who play a sport on the college level never fly on an airplane, stay in a five-star hotel or play in front of millions of people on television.
That does not mean, however, they enjoy their experience any less.

Comments about Schering - Plough In 1011263 Coppertone Wet 'n Clear SPF 45 Continuous Spray Sunscreen - 6 Ounces:
We have really been enjoying the spray sunscreen. So much easier than the lotion. We still use lotion on our kids' faces. This spray claims to be able to apply on wet skin without having to towel dry. We have not tested that. This spray goes on a lot finer (like a mist) compared to the generic store brand we got at a different store. The kids think it's funny because it makes their arm and leg hairs turn kind of white and dewy. I do try and avoid getting it in my daughter's hair because it makes it pretty sticky.

Religion has a central place in many horror movies -- think of "The Omen," "The Exorcist," "Carrie," "Seven" and my favorite, "Rosemary's Baby." It isn't difficult to suggest reasons why. Pageantry, sublimated sexuality, suffering, sin, death -- these are core elements of most religions that are right at home in the horror genre.
