The Command to Sing
Steve Hollaway, Harbor Church, June 22, 2014
Have you ever thought about the biblical command to sing? It's not really optional for a Christian. You can't gather with the body of Christ and stand there with your arms folded and your mouth shut as if you weren't part of the body, as if this command did not apply to you. The Bible never says, let those who can sing, sing, as if it were a spiritual gift. The Bible never says, let those who have beautiful voices sing, as if natural talent were required to praise God. The Bible just says "Sing!" Over and over, dozens of times, we are commanded to sing: sing to the Lord, sing praises, sing joyfully, sing a new song. Come into God's presence with singing. The command to sing may be repeated more frequently than any command in the Bible except the one to love. Certainly we're told to sing more times than we are told to witness or teach or baptize or even to bring offerings. I like the instruction in James 5:13 (NIV): "Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise." Of course we know we are commanded to pray. But we are also commanded to sing.
Christianity started as a singing religion. That's one of the things that made it different and attractive in the pagan world. One of the earliest descriptions of Christians by a secular historian came in a letter by Pliny the Younger around 111 AD, asking a superior in Rome what he should do about these Christians. He said that they would gather early in the morning and sing joyfully to one another, singing "hymns to Christ as to a god." It has always been so.
My parents went to Japan a few years after the end of World War II. They used to tell the story—you may have heard it—of a young tailor who lived in Hiroshima but was out of town the day the atom bomb fell. He searched through the ruins and could not even locate his house until he heard a voice calling him faintly from a mound of flesh he could only recognize as his sister by the print of the dress burned into her skin. He watched her die and determined to hate the Americans forever. But as he wandered in a daze through Hiroshima he came across a Baptist church which had three walls standing and no roof, and inside those walls a group of people were singing hymns. He was drawn to the joy in their voices in the midst of destruction. Week after week the young tailor came to hear the songs. He would leave before the sermon, because he was not interested, he said, in a God who was the God of Americans. But finally the music drew him in and he stayed to hear the message that there is a loving God who cares for all his children of every nation, who offers forgiveness and the ability to forgive, and the tailor came to faith in Christ. Hymn writer Brian Wren says "Congregational song does important things that speech alone cannot do." Music speaks to parts of the brain that words alone cannot.
In places around the world today, believers are gathered in bombed out churches, in house churches that are prohibited by the government, in caves and in tents, and wherever they are gathered they are singing. In nursing homes today the elderly will gather for worship, wheeled in by aides to day rooms where someone will try to preach to those who do not seem to be paying attention. Often the residents will seem unresponsive, but if you start to sing one of the old hymns they miraculously wake up and know all the words. Why is that? Is it because the hymns tap into something deeper than all the talk about God? Is it because their souls are being prepared for the next part of their journey? When we all get to heaven, the book of Revelation makes clear that we will all be singing. Revelation 5 (11-13) says that in the heavenly realm—in the realm where the kingdom of God has come—the angels and living creatures and elders all sing, "myriads of myriads, thousands of thousands, and they sing with one voice." Then John hears "every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and all that is in the sea and all that is in it, and they were singing." I love that: every being in the universe singing! Congregational singing is not just a command; it is our destiny.
In Ephesians 5:19, Paul gives a direct command to the church: "Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord." There are two parts to the command to sing. First we are told to "speak to one another" with songs. The audience there is one another. Our singing is a way to communicate with one another in the body of Christ. These hymns are one way we build one another up, by speaking to one another in song. We are teaching one another about God, reminding one another of the gospel, driving the truths of the gospel deep into the hearts of every member of the body. Most of you have learned more theology from hymns than from preachers – or at least you remember a lot more of it.
The second command is to "sing and make music in your heart to the Lord," that is, to the Lord Jesus Christ. This time a different audience is in view. Here we are singing to Jesus himself, and we are not just singing with our mouths but with our hearts. To make music in your heart doesn't just mean to feel the music; it means to sing from the center of your being, with your whole self, to make music with integrity. When we sing as part of our worship, we sing both to one another and to the Lord. Both are important.
When the first Christians gathered in homes, they sang hymns without accompaniment or books. Several of those early hymns are quoted in the New Testament in, for example, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Timothy, and Revelation. Most likely the song leaders or pastors lined the song out for people the way they do in country churches where people don't read: the leader sings a line which is repeated by the congregation. Sometimes the group in an early church might be given the refrain, while the leader sang the verse. Some people in later centuries came to think of antiphonal singing as the way they do it in heaven, the way it's supposed to be. But do you know why they sang that way rather than using hymnals as we do? Because books were expensive! They had to be copied by hand. When the invention of the printing press came along, it not only made the Bible available to the average person but it also led to an explosion in hymn singing because the people could finally be given words—and sometimes music.
Singing together as a congregation binds us together. Back in the 4th century, Bishop Ambrose of Milan said, "It is a powerful bond of unity when such a great number of people come together in one choir…when all sing in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit." Singing in church is for everyone, not for the musical elite or for the talented. Making a joyful noise is good enough if it's the best you can do. In Africa, there is a saying, "If you can walk, you can dance; if you can talk, you can sing." In North America, we have lots of people who are afraid to dance and afraid to sing. That's too bad. The group that calls itself the Block Island Singers meets at least weekly at the Rescue Barn to sing a capella. They were inspired by Doug Koss, who taught them the African way of thinking, telling them "This is a perfection-free zone." We should announce that in church: This is a perfection-free zone—musically, morally, spiritually, every way you can think of. Do not be afraid to join us.
A couple of months ago I was looking for a guide to congregational singing, and I found a wonderful document online produced by—of all people—the Unitarian-Universalist Association. If the Unitarians can sing, surely the Baptists can sing! But I want to quote what they wrote, because it is spot-on:
When singing a hymn or song together, we become participants rather than observers of worship. Singing gives us an opportunity to make ourselves really and truly present—to "step into the room" and take an active part. We become givers as well as receivers. We give our individual voices to the whole ensemble –thus demonstrating first-hand how "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." When done with confidence and enthusiasm, this totality of sound created by the group—combined with each individual contribution, voice by voice—moves us from simply being those who attend worship to those who experience worship. This is the beauty and power of congregational singing—a special time to be actively involved and contribute. [http://www.uua.org/documents/poleyjoyce/music_ministry.pdf]
You may not know that there were centuries during which the congregation was not allowed to sing in church at all. Early church life was modeled on the small synagogue with its singing, but as the church became institutionalized and built large buildings, some leaders began to think of the church as modeled on the Jerusalem Temple with its professional choir of Levites. They also got scared because the Arians and theological opponents used hymns to teach their doctrine. So at the Synod of Laodicea in the 4th century a rule was issued that "No others shall sing in the Church, save only the canonical singers [the ordained, all male], who shall go up to the platform and sing from a book." For a thousand years after that in most parts of Christendom hymns were sung only by priests and only in Greek or Latin, which of course the people did not understand.
When the Reformation began in the 15th century, this began to change. Martin Luther, who bridged from the late Middle Ages into the Renaissance, was influenced by the classical Greek idea that music has inherent moral virtue. Aristotle had written, "It is plain that music has the power of producing a certain effect on the ethos of the soul, and if it has the power to do this, it is clear that the young must be directed to music and must be educated in it." Luther thought that music was an important part of education. In his reforms of worship, his main goal was to restore the preaching of the Word, but his secondary goal was to give lay people both education and access to participation in worship. He encouraged both psalm singing and hymn writing and the use of folk music and popular tunes instead of the Gregorian chant, which had never found a home in the hearts of the German peasants. Here's what Luther said about music:
I wish to see all art, principally music, in the service of Him who gave and created them. Music is a fair and glorious gift of God. I would not for the world forego my humble share of music. Singers are never sorrowful, but are merry, and smile through their troubles in song. Music makes people kinder, gentler, more staid and reasonable. I am strongly persuaded that after theology there is no art that can be placed on a level with music; for besides theology, music is the only art capable of affording peace and joy of the heart…the devil flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God.
Singing is a characteristic of life in the body of Christ. Singing is not only for musicians. It is not only for the sanctuary, but for wherever God's people gather. The leading Reformed theologian of the 20th century, Karl Barth, wrote:
The Christian church sings. It is not a choral society. Its singing is not a concert. But from the inner, material necessity it sings. Singing is the highest form of human expression…What we can and must say quite confidently is that the church which does not sing is not the church.
Let us at Harbor Church be the church. Let us sing to one another in hymns and psalms and spiritual songs, and let us sing and make music in our hearts to the Lord. Let it never be said that you are an audience, but that you are a congregation gathered to pray and sing. Barth also said, "The praise of God which finds its concrete culmination in the singing of the community is one of the indispensable forms of the ministry of the church." Indispensable. So let us sing.

Madras (India)
Dear Archbishop Arulappa,
With these words, Saint Thomas showed his desire to be with Jesus, even in the face of death. At the same time, Saint Thomas spoke these words to the other disciples to inspire in them a similar love for Jesus, to stir up in them the same courage and devotion.
"Let us also go, that we may die with him".
According to tradition, at this very place, which is now called Saint Thomas Mount, the great Apostle of India fulfilled his own exhortation. Out of love for Jesus, here in Madras, Saint Thomas died for Christ. He gave his life as a martyr for the sake of Christ and the Gospel.
Dear friends in Christ, and you especially, dear children: let us ask God for strong faith and courage. Let us love Jesus as Saint Thomas did. Let us offer him our lives day after day, so that we may live with him for ever.

DK Saddlery
Freedom Custom
Dressage Saddles
For Sale on eBay
Manufacturer: DK Saddlery
Model: Freedom Custom
Category: Dressage Saddles
Purchase: I purchased a new custom DK Freedom dressage saddle directly from DK Saddlery, after riding in one to test out my new horse. I rode in a 17" but DK Saddlery said a 16.5" was the right size for me to order.
Likes: I ordered a very custom saddle with tobacco piping details, and rhinestones on the skirts. The saddle was beautiful and was precisely what I was hoping for, visually.
Dislikes: Unfortunately I was unable to ride in the saddle because it caused me immediate back pain at the posting trot. I considered the saddle to be too small for me. I tried another 16.5" DK with exactly the same measurements as mine, and it hurt my back in the same manner. Then I tried another 17" DK and had no pain or problems with it whatsoever. This confirmed my opinion that the 16.5" was indeed too small for me. DK Saddlery advised me to break the saddle in before passing judgement, but this did not make sense to me. They also advised to vary the position of the saddle on the horse. They said the saddle was not too small for me.
Quality: Excellent construction and quality of the saddle, as made by Kevin of Regal Saddles. Excellent design of the piping detail and placement of the rhinestones, as designed by Danny Kroetch of DK Saddlery.
Summary: I would never suggest purchasing from DK Saddlery. Extremely difficult to deal with, and when a mistake is made, they will not refund your money. I am stuck with a brand new saddle I cannot use, and I am out $5250.00.

Authorities in Cleveland County say a 17-month-old child is in the hospital after being shot by a 3-year-old sibling.
A statement from the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office said deputies received a 911 call regarding a shooting around noon Thursday.
According to investigators, the 17-month-old was shot with a .9 mm handgun which belonged to the children's father.
Investigators said they are compiling information to present to the district attorney to determine if any charges should be filed.

Ron Paul once again roiled Republican presidential politics on the issue of foreign policy during last night's debate, finishing second in the post-debate poll conducted by Fox News and first in the poll conducted by MSNBC.
Pointing out that U.S. foreign policy is the root cause of the anger and hatred that has engendered terrorism against the United States, including the 9/11 attacks, Paul suggested that America would be better off ending the U.S. government's role as world policeman as wells its longtime policy of interventionism. He pointed to Vietnam as an example of where 60,000 American men died in a senseless war while today Americans are instead peacefully investing and trading with the Vietnamese despite their communist regime.
Paul's point ignited an attack by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who indignantly announced that he had never heard such a theory in his life and asked Paul to retract it. Instead, Paul steadfastly stood his ground, pointing out that the CIA itself has pointed out the "blowback" that U.S. foreign policy has engendered. He cited the CIA's installation of the shah of Iran in 1953 for producing the blowback that resulted in the taking of the U.S. hostages in Iran many years later.
In a post-debate interview, Giuliani clarified his point by reciting the official U.S. canard that was issued immediately after the 9/11 attacks — that the terrorists hate us for our "freedom and values." Giuliani suggested that it was because of our "freedom of religion" and "freedom for women."
When Paul mentioned Iran as an example of blowback from U.S. foreign policy, he was referring to the 1953 coup in which the CIA secretly and surreptitiously engineered the ouster of the democratically elected prime minister of Iran, Mohammed Mossadegh, who had been selected Time Magazine's Man of the Year. In his place, the CIA installed the shah of Iran, whose secret police proceeded to terrorize and torture the Iranian people for the next 25 years, with the ardent support of the U.S. government. As the Iranian people discovered the U.S. government's role in all this, their anger and rage ultimately erupted in 1979 with the Iranian Revolution and the taking of the U.S. hostages.
Consider U.S. foreign policy toward Iraq:
- The U.S. support of Saddam Hussein.
- The U.S. furnishing of weapons of mass destruction to Saddam Hussein and the correlative assistance provided by the U.S. in the use of such weaponry.
- The Persian Gulf intervention.
- The intentional destruction of Iraq's water and sewage facilities, with full knowledge as to what effect such action would have on the long-term health of the Iraqi people.
- The more than 10 years of brutal sanctions, which contributed to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children from sickness and disease.
- The deadly no-fly zones, which had not been authorized by either the UN or the U.S. Congress, and whose enforcement entailed the firing of missiles and the dropping of bombs that killed even more Iraqis.
- U.S. Ambassador to the UN Madeleine Albright's infamous statement to "Sixty Minutes" that reverberated throughout the Middle East that the deaths of half-a-million Iraqi children had been "worth it."
- The invasion and occupation of Iraq, which has killed and maimed hundreds of thousands of more Iraqis.
- The torture and sex abuse of Iraqi men at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere in Iraq, photographs and videos of which are still being kept hidden by U.S. officials because of their potential blowback.
- The periodic rapes and murders that some U.S. troops have committed against the Iraqi people during the occupation.
- The arbitrary and indiscriminate searches and seizures without warrants being conducted by U.S. troops.
- The indefinite detentions without trial of some 20,000 Iraqi men and women in overcrowded prisons.
How can anyone honestly believe that such actions would not engender horrible anger and rage throughout the Middle East and, indeed, throughout the world?
As Ron Paul emphasized in last night's debate, imagine if some foreign power — such as China — had done these types of things to the United States. Wouldn't Americans experience anger and rage?
Indeed, closer to home, suppose Venezuela imposed sanctions and no-fly zones on the Southeastern part of the United States and then sent in Venezuelan troops to wage the war on terrorism in Florida. After all, don't forget that the U.S. government's refusal to turn over accused terrorist Luis Posada Carriles to the Venezuelan government for trial is no different in principle from the Taliban's refusal to turn Osama bin Laden over to the United States after the 9/11 attacks. In fact, Venezuela's case is stronger than the Taliban's because Venezuela, unlike Afghanistan, has an extradition agreement with the United States. Moreover, Venezuela, unlike Washington's response to the Taliban regime, is ready and willing to offer evidence of Posada's role in the terrorist bombing of a Cuban airliner, which took the lives of 73 innocent people, including the young members of a Cuban sports team.
What Ron Paul's participation in the 2008 presidential race is accomplishing is this: It is making people such as Rudy Giuliani think about things they've never thought about before and causing them to view the U.S. government and its long-time paradigm of empire and interventionism in an entirely different way. It's also why he is engendering considerable discomfort among people who have long believed that the federal government is a deity whose foreign policies are beyond reproach. Don't be surprised to hear more calls for suppressing Paul's participation in future debates, even while the critics continue to wax eloquent about how U.S. soldiers are killing and dying in Iraq for the sake of "democracy."
In last night's debate Rudy Giuliani made a mistake that is commonly made by those who view the federal government as a deity. Conflating the U.S. government and the American people, he suggested in the post-debate interview that Ron Paul was "blaming America." Actually, Paul did no such thing. He blamed the U.S. government's interventionist foreign policies for the morass in which our nation now finds itself. Like our Founding Fathers and the Framers, Paul understands that the federal government and the country are two separate and distinct groups, which in fact is precisely why the Bill of Rights expressly protects the country from the federal government.
Ron Paul's answers in last night's debate reflect how differently he approaches societal problems as compared to such politicians as Rudy Giuliani. Keep in mind that Ron Paul is, first and foremost, a physician. As a doctor, he is trained in diagnosing an ailment correctly because he knows that a correct prescription almost always depends on the right diagnosis. Equally important, he isn't going to lie to a patient or feed him a false reality about the seriousness of his ailment. In order for the patient to make the correct decision as to whether to embark on a certain course of treatment, Paul knows that it is necessary that the patient confront the reality of his condition.
Therefore, during last night's debate Ron Paul simply was doing what he has done for many years, both as a doctor and as a congressman. He was diagnosing what ails the American body politic and prescribed the radical treatment that is necessary to heal the patient. The patient can obviously go into denial, preferring to believe instead the lies and false realities of charlatans but deep down the patient always knows that ultimately reality will not enable him to escape the consequences of having done so.
For those who wish to learn more about the points that Ron Paul is making on foreign policy and on what we need to get our nation back on the right road, I recommend the following references:
- Ron Paul's weekly commentaries.
- Chalmers Johnson's three books: Blowback, The Sorrows of Empire, and Nemesis.
- James Bovard's four books: Attention Deficit Democracy, Freedom in Chains, The Bush Betrayal, and Terrorism and Tyranny.

|Rajiv Joseph
| June 16, 1974
Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A.
Rajiv Joseph (born June 16, 1974) is an American playwright and a 2010 Pulitzer Prize finalist.
Joseph was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio; his mother is Euroamerican of French and German ancestry and his father is of Indian ancestry and immigrated to the States from India.[1] He attended Cleveland Heights High School and graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio in 1996 with a B.A. in Creative Writing. While at Miami he was a member of the university's Men's Glee Club and its premier male a cappella group, the Cheezies.[2] Joseph also competed for the highly decorated Miami University Individual Events (forensics) team.
Following graduation Joseph joined the Peace Corps, serving three formative years in the West African Republic of Senegal,[3] including two years in Koular and the third in Kaolack.[1] Joseph has stated about his time there: "Being in Senegal, more than anything else in my life, made me into a writer."[1] His time in Senegal helped him develop the discipline of daily writing and inspired his "fascination with the power of language"; as he has stated: "It felt a little like being a child again, because your language skills are on the level of a 4-year-old, so the adults kind of ignore you, but the children cluster around you telling you what everything is called".[4]
Joseph earned a Master of Fine Arts in Dramatic Writing from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in 2004. He has taught Essay Writing at New York University and wrote for Seasons 3 and 4 of the Showtime series Nurse Jackie.[5]
Joseph's first production, Huck & Holden, debuted at the Cherry Lane Theatre in 2005.[6] The play also had a West Coast run at the Black Dahlia Theater in Los Angeles the following year. Joseph has stated that the story, about an Indian college student arriving in the United States, is based on his father's experiences coming to the States.[1][4] His mixed-race background has given him what one critic has called a "fearlessness" about racial topics: ""Being mixed-race has always been a part of my identity. You are never fully one thing or the other. You always feel a little apart, a little bit of an outsider, even when you are with your own family. That's an interesting perspective for looking at the world."[4]
All This Intimacy premiered at New York's McGinn/Cazale Theater in 2006.[7] The TBG Theater featured Joseph's re-imagining of The Leopard and the Fox in 2007.[8]
Second Stage Theatre premiered Joseph's Animals Out of Paper in 2008.[9] Subsequent productions of Animals Out of Paper have been staged at Boise Contemporary Theater (2009),[10] and at the Ensemble Theatre in Sydney, Australia and San Francisco Playhouse in 2010.[11] Upcoming productions of Animals Out of Paper will occur in Portland, Maine (January 2011) and Fort Worth, Texas (March 2011).
Joseph's Pulitzer finalist production of Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, directed by Moisés Kaufman, debuted at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City, California in May, 2009.[12] It ran at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles April 14 - May 30, 2010 and premiered on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in March 2011, with Robin Williams playing the titular character.[13] In October 2013 it had its premiere in San Francisco at San Francisco Playhouse where it was very well received in the press.[14]
Gruesome Playground Injuries, starring Selma Blair and Brad Fleischer, had its world premiere in October 2009 at the Alley Theatre in Houston, Texas.[15] Another staging at the Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company in Washington, D.C. ran in May 2010.[16] Its Off-Broadway production opened January 2011 at the Second Stage Theatre in New York City, starring Pablo Schreiber and Jennifer Carpenter.
The North Pool premiered at TheatreWorks in Silicon Valley in the spring of 2011.[17] Barrington Stage Company in The Berkshires introduced East Coast audiences to The North Pool in July 2012.
The Monster at the Door debuted at Houston's Alley Theatre in May 2011.[18]
The Lake Effect premiered at Chicago's Silk Road Rising on April 23, 2013.[19] The production received the Joseph Jefferson Award for Best New Work.[20]
In 2008, Joseph was awarded the Vineyard Theatre's Paula Vogel Award given to emerging playwrights.[21]
Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo was chosen by the NEA in 2008 as one of two Outstanding New American plays.[22]
Joseph received the 2009 Kesselring Fellowship awarded to emerging dramatists.[23]
Joseph participated in the 10th Annual Sundance Playwrights Retreat in Ucross, Wyoming in February, 2009.
Animals Out of Paper received a Lucille Lortel Award nomination for 'Outstanding Play' on April 2, 2009.
The 2009 LA Stage Alliance Ovation Awards nominated Joseph for "Playwriting for an Original Play" for Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo.[24] The play also won five Backstage Garland Awards in 2010.
Joseph also received a Whiting Writers' Award in 2009, an international award given annually to 10 writers of fiction, nonfiction, plays, and/or poetry who show "exceptional talent and promise in early career".[25]
On April 12, 2010 Joseph was named a Pulitzer Prize for Drama finalist for Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo.
Joseph was named a 2010 USA Rockefeller Fellow by United States Artists.
The North Pool was awarded the 2011 Glickman Award for the best play to make its world premiere in the Bay Area. [7]
In 2013, Joseph received The Steinberg Playwright Award.[26]

Obviously talking about the games he played in yes, and if you couldn't recognize that he was not only one of the hardest working but also most skilled players on the pitch for those matches I don't know what to tell you.

Posted by BobLoblaw on 7/3 at 4:57 pm to Jumbeauxlaya
I agree. By and large I think he played very well.
I'm just saying that him captaining a youth team that lost to one of the CONCACAF minnows and failed to qualify for a major tournament is hardly evidence he can cut it in the championship, one of the most grueling and physical leagues in the world. After all, Freddy has always shown with the youth teams it's making the step up to the next level that seems to be his problem.

Beautiful home in very private setting
Although we were only able to stay for a short time, I found that this home would be ideal for extended visits. It is beautifully-appointed and located in a very private and picturesque setting. The property is very well-maintained, and the home is comfortable and spacious. There are great opportunities for hiking, fishing, and observing nature right on the property, and the upstairs theatre is ideal for relaxing in the evening. I plan on returning to this home at my first opportunity, and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience true privacy in a very well-appointed home.
Beautiful, relaxing family friendly retreat
Our family chose the Rausser Ranch for our annual "camping" trip. We have 5 siblings and all of us have children, and some have grandchildren. Our ages ranged from 10 months to 80 and we were all comfortable and relaxed throughout our stay. If you leave the windows in the bunk-room closed during the day and the fans on you hardly notice the lack of A/C. The home is built very well and is comfortable throughout. There is only 1 bathroom in the main house which is where the majority of the sleeping accommodations are but we were able to share the other 3 that are on the property easily so it was only a minor inconvenience. The cottages worked well for families with small children for napping and quiet time. Our days were spent at the pond fishing (the children easily learned catch and release and fished from sun up to sun down), swimming, playing on the water trampoline, zip lining, row boating or just relaxing on the grassy areas near the water. Nights were spent grilling and sitting around the fire pit making s'mores, star gazing and catching up. We went white water rafting with American River Recreation on one day and while it was a once in a lifetime experience, I would have loved one more day at the ranch. We had planned on sight seeing and hiking but chose instead to stay at the ranch and play. The caretaker, Don was warm and welcoming upon our arrival and gave us a tour with directions on how to use everything and explain the "rules". The rules are simple to follow and pretty common sense stuff. He visits a couple/three times a day and his dog, Blue quickly became part of the family. Don knows the area well and can recommend many area attractions and places to go. The screened porch was the perfect sleeping area for the high school/college aged boys and they enjoyed being able to have some time away from the adults and their own space. I doubt we will be pitching a tent anytime soon as we plan on making this our new yearly get together spot as long as we can. We all giggle when we talk about our "camping" trip as we still call it. Can't wait for next year.
Perfect for a Getaway
What a great find! We spent several nights here over the fourth of July weekend and had an amazing time. The cabin is adorable, very clean, and well stocked. It was quiet and secluded amongst trees and nature, but still a short drive to a downtown area with grocery stores and great dining options. There was plenty to do nearby, both in town and outdoors, but just hanging around the cabin was so relaxing, it was hard to leave. I'm so glad we found this place. My husband and I will definitely be back!

This classroom activity introduces equity issues surrounding climate change. Students research the assigned developed and developing nations, discuss climate change, and label the differences between energy usage and the effects of climate change on two world maps. In the end, the class negotiates an energy treaty.
In this lesson, students complete a Myers-Briggs Type Inventory of their personality type as an introductory step to understanding what green jobs might suit their personal styles. From the information on this online tool, they look at different Green Jobs to explore possible careers.
This activity addresses naturally occurring climate change involving ENSO (El-NiÃo Southern Oscillation). In this activity, students play the role of a policy maker in Peru. First, they determine what sort of ENSO variation is occurring. Then, they must decide how to allocate Peru's resources to manage for possible weather-related problems.
This simulation provides scenarios for exploring the principles of climate dynamics from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Inter-connections among climate issues, public stakeholders and the governance spheres are investigated through creative simulations designed to support learners' understanding of international climate change negotiations.
Cartoon animation focusing on adapting to climate change, specifically in Wisconsin, by helping the community prepare for changes that are already impacting the region.
This PBS video focuses on sea level rise in Norfolk, Virginia and how the residents are managing the logistical, financial and political implications. Science journalists who have been studying Norfolk's rising sea level problems are interviewed as well are local residents who are being impacted.
This is a series of 10 short videos, hosted by National Science Foundation, each featuring scientists, research, and green technologies. The overall goal of this series is to encourage people to ask questions and look beyond fossil fuels for innovative solutions to our ever-growing energy needs.
This visualization, from the US Geological Survey, provides a simple schematic of the various pathways that water can take as it cycles through ocean, lakes, atmosphere, surface and ground.
This video documents the impact of the 2011 drought on the water supply of two Texas towns. It discusses how the higher temperatures have increased the evaporation from open reservoirs, resulting in a drop in their water levels. The use of water in fighting wildfires has also contributed to this drawdown. While some jurisdictions have been able to develop pipelines to other sources, others have had to resort to trucking water in.
This short, animated video describes what is meant by climate, its characteristics, and the range of impacts due to climate change. The difference between mitigation and adaptation is also discussed.

Viewers find it unusual, unfamiliar and unconventional. Depending on where you sit, the new 10 p.m. newscast on WJZY (Channel 46) is either the future of local news or an experiment gone boldly awry.
By any standard, it is different.
Theres no anchor desk. Reporters stand around a video table think of a Ms. Pac-Man machine gone gigantic and chat about their stories with host Cheryl Brayboy, in what feels like a cocktail party of news.
Theres no reporter standing in front of an empty courthouse talking about what happened there hours earlier. WJZY isnt playing the now-on-the-scene-of-nothing game.
Theres no sea of flashing blue lights. WJZY isnt spicing up its report with routine urban crime.
Launched six weeks ago, the hour-long show was designed to be unlike anything that has gone before. After the Fox network bought WJZY in 2013, it wanted to take a new approach, to see whether it could reverse declining viewership nationally and engage a younger audience.
Karen Adams, the stations manager, remembers getting a call from Fox Television Stations CEO Jack Abernethy last January, asking her to leave the Fox affiliate in Greensboro and take over the networks new Charlotte station.
He said he wanted me to create the newsroom of the future and the culture that would support it, says Adams.
She brought in as news director Geoff Roth from Foxs Houston station. Hes a tech wonk who built a team outside the normal structure. Rather than a reporter, photographer and editor working on a story, the WJZY news team consists of digital journalists who can shoot and edit their stories on iPads or smartphones.
Stories are aimed not only at the TV broadcast, but the stations website and mobile destinations. People arent waiting around until 10 p.m. to get their news anymore, Roth says. They want it now and they want it on multiple devices.
A traditional anchor desk was never part of the plan. We were not going to do the traditional voice of God behind the news desk, Adams says.
Everything we do is a two-way conversation with the viewer, says Roth. Young people are used to that through social media.
For the newsroom, Adams wanted a more dynamic setting with people standing around the graphics-intensive video table discussing the news. Hand-held studio cameras give it a casual, reality-show vibe.
More than two dozen big screens line the walls. Fox spent millions on new technology, but not a penny on a microwave van. Reporters can access the Internet from the field and file stories that way.
That has also meant that the station could embed reporters around the region in Concord, Shelby, Hickory, Monroe and Rock Hill where they can work from home. Establishing a traditional news bureau linked to the station can cost about $500,000, much of it in technology. WJZYs regional reporters, by comparison, go off with about $6,000 in digital equipment, says Roth, a fantastic savings.
WJZYs news philosophy is to be alternative. Good stories do not have to fit into 2-minute reports and the staff is told to skip flash-and-trash and find stories of substance. What were doing is harder than letting a police scanner dictate our newscast, says Roth.
Chief photographer Stewart Pittman, known nationally among news photographers for his Lenslinger blog, says he was drawn to WJZY from the Fox affiliate in Greensboro because hed grown tired of the vapid focus evident on so many local newscasts. So much of local news is cloaked in the bones of vaudeville, he says.
One aspect of TVs showbiz roots is the widespread practice of reporters and anchors working under contracts negotiated by agents, who then rake up to 10 percent of talents salary. Old-fashioned nonsense, says Roth. Few in the WJZY newsroom have been hired under the contract system, and he intends to keep it that way. Were like the CarMax of TV news this is what were paying and thats it. No haggling on the price.
Another ingredient of the WJZY newscast is its focus on social media. Showing the electronic pulse of the public is the Tweet Wall, a Twitter sampler. While I may think thats the intellectual equivalent of interviewing drunks in a bar, you cant dismiss it. On New Years Eve, a disco ball fell from the rafters at an Avett Brothers concert at Time Warner Cable Arena and WJZY was able to share pictures of it and cover it largely through Twitter posts during its final news rehearsal, which was streamed on the Internet.
Assignment editor Lauren Ratcliffe says the station uses sophisticated algorithms to monitor Twitter and other social media in the stations 22-county viewing area. When something starts to trend, editors are aware of it in seconds, she says, a sort of early-warning system.
Glitches, missed cues and other rookie mistakes have been evident in the shows early days, though they are falling off. It has been a relatively quiet winter and the staff hasnt been tested by a major story. Much of the stations report has a magazine feel to it rather than the urgent news pace of its competitors.
A morning show is in development and will probably launch in May. It will be more of a sofa-and-coffee-table production than hard-news wrap-up. By July, the station intends to add an hourlong 6 p.m. newscast. About 30 more people are expected to be hired for the news operation, which now has about 45.
Viewers whose letters are in the stations public inspection file offered these observations of the show: Its Hey, Hey, Carolinas anthem a country-rap mash-up produced by WJZYs creative services department needs to go; journalists should be more formally dressed during the show and men should wear ties; the news hasnt got enough depth yet; it needs an anchor desk.
Roth says he intends to stay on course. Its something very, very different, a great alternative to what other people in town are doing different in a good way.

Gregor, Thanks for your response! I would also think this way but I am confused by the following quote from C14N spec: - All whitespace in character content is retained (excluding characters removed during line feed normalization) which makes me think that '\r' characters are deleted and not replaced. I was also told that Microsoft .NET implementation deletes '\r' characters (and this caused incompatibility with xmlsec). AlekseyReceived on Monday, 12 May 2003 22:16:35 GMT

How do I get involved in Alternative/Holistic nursing?
- 6Aug 6, '09 by Sarah27What do you do when you have a nursing degree but don't believe in Western medicine or our health care system? I recently received my BSN degree and through my schooling came to the realization that I very much disagree with our health care system and Western medicine. I do not want to work in a hospital and am more interested in working in holistic/alternative nursing but have no idea where to begin to get into that field. Has anyone else had these feelings? I would appreciate any advice on this, I feel completely lost right now. I am still interested in helping people and being a nurse, but I don't feel that Western medicine is really that helpful. No one else in my nursing school cared to try and understand my feelings/beliefs, so now that I am done I am really trying to find others who do, but am having a hard time. I don't want to be a typical nurse in a hospital because I feel that by giving medications and other Western medicine treatments I would be going against what I believe. I didn't work as hard as I did in school to not use my knowledge. I know that I am a very compassionate and caring person who is great with people, I just need to find the right place for me and don't know where to begin!
- 4Aug 8, '09 by trw07As a person coming into nursing from an alternative background, I have a couple of suggestions. Try visiting The American Holistic Nurses Association (www.ahna.org) to find a list of their "approved" courses for certification. Also, try visiting www.thelivingmatrixmovie.com to see the incredible advances in energetics research. Good luck and welcome to what I think is the future of nursing!
- 1Aug 21, '09 by RNGreenSarah27,
I totally agree with you. I have about 1 1/2 years of hospital nursing now, but have never really believed in Western Medicine. I was going to go to naturopathic school but was afraid of the high tuition and then opening my own office/expenses. So I decided on nursing. Sometimes I wish I just went into acupuncture or TCM, or another "alternative" field. But since I am a nurse I plan to eventually become a holistic nurse practioner, hopefully. I am also looking into hospice nursing now since they focus on quality of life. Email me if you want and good luck on finding your path.
- 2Aug 21, '09 by marnaclaI became a raw food nutrition specialist and lifestyle coach. You'll have to make your own job however you can look into energy healing, herbalogy, etc. I was a western nurse for a lot of years and, like you, have moved into an alternative arena where I feel I'm giving people valuable information and assisting them to take control of their health. There's a ton of stuff out there.
- 0Oct 12, '09 by jitterbuggI also agree with you. I am currently in my second semester of an ADN program and feel that a more natural-whole person approach is where my heart is. I will continue to get my RN but I am still searching for a different career than most. I would also love any suggestions as well. I will check out the ahna website.
- 1Oct 13, '09 by BA.LVNI'm "only" a LVN, but I too, would love to work in an alternative/holistic environment.....a clinic that offered massage therapy/reflexology/homeopathy/herbology/aromatherapy/health&wellness coaching....etc. etc. etc! If anyone opens up one of these in or near San Jose, CA, PLEASE let me know! hahaha. Anyways, kidding aside, I am finally going for my BSN-RN. I want to be able to have more career opportunities, including something in holistic healthcare. I'd go for massage therapy, but that's another however long program and I think I need to focus on the BSN first.....:spin:
- 2Oct 16, '09 by mom2-3I am also in the same boat. I have been an RN for 12 years now, and am feeling very disheartened by many things I am seeing. I believe in a more natural/preventative approach to life and wellness, and am sick of pill pushing. I live in NY where we are presently fighting a mandate for all healthcare workers to recieve flu shots annually along with the h1n1 vax. I am outraged by this and find myself questioning the entire profession. I have realized I need to be serving people as a nurse in a different capacity, and would like to become a holistic practitioner. I am not sure which avenue to persue in the realm as there seem to be so many options out there, and then what to do with it when I am done with my training. I have a dream of opening my own business/natural healing shop...any other ideas for schooling out there?
- 3Oct 17, '09 by RosesRNYou all should look into Nutrition Response Testing. That is what I want to do with my nursing degree. I was an office manager for a Doc who practiced that. When I got the job I thought it was a normal nutritionist office, but it was VERY different. I was skeptical but during the year I worked there I saw so many HAPPY patients, people that the medical doctors could not help we were able to heal! Also skeptical patients would heal too, so it wasn't some placebo effect! Patients would still see their medical doctors for tests and such and we encouraged that, but during treatment at our office their medical doctors would take them off insulin, statins, bp medication because they no longer tested as diabetics, high chol, high bp. Therapeutic doses of nutrition offer your body the building blocks to repair itself. Simple and it makes sense right? Our body is designed to heal itself if given the proper nutrition. Pharmacology just overrides the body's autonomic nervous system, suppressing symptoms to give "normal" vitals and labs and then you get a TON of side effects. HOWEVER---there is definitely a place for allopathic medicine in acute care and special situations. Some people prefer that type of care, that is why they go to a medical doctor, that is why they go to the hospital, so my role as a nurse it to provide the care that the patient is seeking, it is not my job to change someone's mind (plus if you are in a hospital or medical doc's office, legally you can get in big trouble if the patient doesn't like what you are saying. If they want something different they will research it and find it) I decided to go to nursing school because you have to have a degree in the healthcare field if you want to take classes at Ulan Nutritional Systems...the program is one weekend a month for 6 months in Florida. The supplements are all whole food from an American company that is 80 years old, check out their website, www.standardprocess.com. They offer lots of seminars around the country, just speak to a rep, you can get a student discount, it might cost between $50 and $150 for the weekend. I just reread this and it kinda sounds like an advertisement, it is not! i just get really excited about it! I took a full year of prenursing classes and now I am in my first of three semesters of nursing school for a second degree bachelors in nursing. 3 years ago I had horrible paranoia, anxiety, depression, and I could NOT cope with stress, I would crumble...I got an Rx for Xanax which I took twice and stopped because I Hated the druggy feeling. So when I started working at the nutritonist's office he found that I was severely B-vitamin deficient. I never told him about my symptoms ("hey boss, I feel crazy and too stressed most of the time"). I tested for 30 B vitamin tablets a day, it is called Cataplex B. Now I just take one per day IF I remember, usually I just swallow a couple a week when I remember, I may take a couple more if I have alcohol or have a bit more stress than normal. But I am so functional now! That is my testimonial. Most of America is B vitamin deficient. Feel free to email me any questions, but contact Ulan Nutritional Systems in Florida and they will tell you about the program and what credentials you need. You can have your own practice, and set your own hours, and it was very lucrative (that wasn't the goal, the goal was getting people well, but it was a nice byproduct of that! Most patients were word of mouth, I think that speaks for itself) Good Luck!

Desktop of the Week for 4/22 - 4/28/07
This week's TUAW Desktop hails from Flickr user brianpunx and makes use of a number of Mac OS X software and icons which brianpunx was kind enough to list (hint: that makes my job easier when picking a TUAW Desktop of the Week, though it doesn't influence my decision). First, it's running a ShapeShifter theme by the name of Amora Pearl by well-known Mac OS X icon and desktop artist David Lanham. Now I couldn't track down the wallpaper, but the album art/iTunes controller in the bottom left is CoverSutra (which we've mentioned before), and the date/time display at bottom center is the work of Panic's excellent Stattoo. You have to view the larger version of brianpunx's desktop, however, to really take in the view and clever placement of icons in relation to the wallpaper.
If you'd like to see your unique, functional or otherwise interesting desktop featured in our TUAW Desktops of the Week series, check out past featured desktops as well as the original post for the rules and to get an idea of what we're looking for. Then, upload your desktop screenshot to our TUAW Desktops Flickr group. We'll feature one or more desktops each weekend, giving credit to the desktop owner, wallpaper creator and any apps featured in the screenshot (if available). Keep those desktops rolling in!

Charlottesville Breaking News
Unlettered capitalism: Circuit City has yanked its signs
The Circuit City location in the Albemarle Square shopping center has closed, and, according to a witness, the giant letters were removed by crane-carried workers on Tuesday, December 30.
Part of a company-wide shedding of stores announced November 3, the closing of the Charlottesville store and 154 others didn't stop the electronics retailer from declaring bankruptcy a week later. Its stock was trading at 13 cents a share at post time.
Back in the late 1980s, when the Richmond-based company embarked on a national expansion, its branding strategy included making the store entrance look like a giant red electrical plug. However, by the ti...
Madoff arrest: Finally makes Dowdell's ponzi 'small potatoes'
Five years ago, when pleading for lenient sentencing, the lawyer for convicted Charlottesville-based ponzi schemer Terry Dowdell downplayed Dowdell's tens of millions in thefts as "small potatoes." Now, the arrest of New York financier Bernie Madoff appears to have finally taken a step toward moving that spud-based contention toward reality.
Back when Dowdell was forced to give up his million-dollar residence in the tony Ivy-area Rosemont subdivision, his ponzi was considered one of the largest in history. But what Madoff is ...

Painful puzzle: Abshire talks about the fatal night
It was first considered a tragic but straight-forward incident of hit and run on a winding, moonlit country road in Barboursville. But the 2006 death of Justine Swartz Abshire, a 27-year-old kindergarten teacher, continues to vex investigators, as a series of discrepancies surround the late woman's husband, who insists on his innocence.
Last month, the tragedy found a national audience when ABC Primetime Crime, capping a year-long investigation by the network, aired an hour-long episode on Justine's death that revealed some startling new clues. But despite the new information– including phone records and a battery of injuries inconsistent with the original story– questions remain: How did Justine spend her final hours? Why did it take her husband as long as 18 minutes to call 911 after he discovered his wife's body? And how did Justine really die?
The biggest question of all, however, is one that has been whispered throughout the community for nearly two years: Did Eric Abshire murder his wife? Or is he– as he claims– a grieving widower scapegoated by devastated parents and a frustrated police force with no other suspects?
Last week, for the first time, Abshire agreed to sit down with the Hook for...
