New Malibu has premium look
Chevrolet's Malibu mid-size sedan is a welcoming family car - revamped for 2013 with handsome styling, a quieter, refined interior and a pleasant ride.
The Malibu's eAssist electric motor supplements its four-cylinder gasoline engine. Unlike full hybrids like the Toyota Prius and Ford Fusion Hybrid, the Malibu Eco cannot travel solely on electric power, even for short spurts. Still, the 2013 Malibu Eco earned a fuel economy rating of 25 miles per gallon in city driving and 37 mpg on highways from the federal government.
The ratings compare attractively to the 22/33 mpg rating of the predecessor, 2012 Malibu with a four cylinder and no accompanying electric motor.
The 2013 Malibu Eco is already at dealer showrooms and is being sold alongside 2012 non-Eco Malibus.
Starting manufacturer's suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $25,995 for a base 2013 Malibu Eco with front-wheel drive, 182-horsepower, Ecotec, direct gasoline injection, four-cylinder engine mated to a 15-kilowatt electric motor and lithium-ion battery pack.
Standard features include a six-speed automatic transmission, cloth-covered seats, remote vehicle entry, power windows and door locks, dual-zone climate control, 17-inch wheels, antilock brakes, curtain and knee air bags and electronic stability control. It is the first Malibu to offer an onboard navigation system.
Competitors include the 2012 Hyundai Sonata mid-size sedan which has a 198-horsepower four cylinder, six-speed automatic transmission and a government fuel economy rating of 28/35 mpg. Starting retail price is $21,570. The 2012 Sonata Hybrid, with 166-horsepower four cylinder mated to an electric motor and lithium polymer battery pack, starts at $26,625 and has a fuel economy rating of 35/40 mpg,
Another Malibu competitor is the 2012 Ford Fusion sedan, which has a starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $22,495 with 175-horsepower four cylinder, six-speed automatic transmission and a fuel mileage rating of 23/33 mpg. Meanwhile, the 2012 Fusion Hybrid, with 156-horsepower four cylinder mated to an electric motor and nickel metal hydride battery pack, starts at $29,570. The Fusion Hybrid is rated at 41/36 mpg and uses a continuously variable transmission.
The test Malibu Eco impressed with its exterior styling. The Eco model includes some underneath plastic panels and automatic moving "shutters" behind the grille to help smooth airflow and boost fuel economy.
There was some wind noise. But overall, the interior was quieter than in previous Malibus, and road noise was minimized.
The Malibu Eco moved along well but wasn't a sportster. Zero-to-60-miles-an-hour time is a ho-hum 8.7 seconds, and the four-cylinder engine sounded strained under hard acceleration.
The powerplant is the 2.4-liter, double overhead cam, four cylinder that's direct injected for decent acceleration. This engine also is used in the Buick LaCrosse and Regal with eAssist and uses a belt/alternator/starter system to carefully manage power and maximize fuel mileage.
In the Malibu Eco test car, electric power, drawn from the onboard battery pack, was fed smoothly, coming on during uphill climbs, for example.
Then, the battery pack would be "refilled" by electric power drawn from regenerative braking as the car slowed and stopped during travel. There is no need to plug in the Malibu Eco's battery pack, which sits behind the rear seats, in the trunk.
Unless the driver looked at a graphic display on the dashboard showing where the power was coming from at any moment, the mixing in of electric power to the engine power wasn't readily recognizable.
Alas, fuel mileage on the test averaged just 24.7 mpg. It included some aggressive driving, lots of stop-and-go, and 65 percent city traffic.
This allowed for a range of only 390 miles on a single, 15.8-gallon tank. Drivers really need highway travel to boost the mileage.

Tyra Banks Denies Engagement Rumors
September 01, 2009 03:02 PM by Britteny Elrick
When Tyra Banks arrived at the 36th annual Daytime Emmy Awards at the Orpheum Theater, rumors started flying that the supermodel might be engaged.  However, the America's Next Top Model host has denied allegations that she is tying the knot.Â
According to Usmagazine.com, when Tyra was spotted wearing a diamond on her ring finger, questions started surfacing on whether or not she is in fact engaged. Although Tyra has mentioned on several occasions that she loves her singlehood, she has been dating businessman, John Utendahl, for quite some time.
"Hearing about crazy rumors that I'm engaged. Well, I'm not," Tyra wrote on her Twitter page yesterday. "The 'RING' is my high school class ring. It's 10k gold, and has zero diamonds. Ha!"
Her class ring? Is Tyra working on bringing back a trend or what?

|Strategic Defense Intelligence
During the forecast period the demand for maritime and border security equipment is anticipated to be driven by internal security threats, such as terrorism, threats to sovereign integrity, illegal border infiltration, piracy, drug trafficking, and critical infrastructure security, among several others. With rising territorial disputes and cross border violence in the Asia Pacific, the region is projected to account for the largest share of spending during 2015-2025. While the US and Europe remain to be key markets for maritime and border security, impending threats from Islamic extremist groups will lead to high growth in the Middle Eastern and African markets over the next decade.
Key Findings
The Global Maritime and Border Security Market 2015-2025 report offers a detailed analysis of the industry with market size forecasts covering the next ten years. This report will also analyze factors that influence demand for maritime and border Security, key market trends, and challenges faced by industry participants.
In particular, it provides an in-depth analysis of the following:

Could the same network that brought us Smallville be working on Paradise Island? The CW Network had a smash hit with the tale of Superman's formative years and will bring Arrow to the air this fall. Vulture is reporting that CW will apply that same style to the Wonder Woman origin story.
NBC's attempt to bring Wonder Woman back to TV didn't make it past the pilot stage in 2011. The 1970s Wonder Woman show was incredibly campy, but also a big hit. It turned star Lynda Carter into a pinup sensation. Every actress even rumored to be putting on that costume draws an inevitable comparison to Carter. She still appears on numerous lists of the sexiest characters in TV history.
Smallville had some of the same issues, as every Superman is compared to Christopher Reeve's beloved take. It got around them by focusing on Clark Kent's journey and sticking to a rule of no capes or tights. A young Wonder Woman wouldn't necessarily need to wear bullet-deflecting bracelets, carry a magic lasso or wear a star-spangled bustier. So expect her to still fight for our rights, just not wear satin tights while doing so.

I recently stepped over the issue, when registering new rss folder in zcs web client (v7). All feeds (in this particular folder) appeared to be messed up with encoding. Looking via Firefox rss link (UTF-8) everything is ok. Importing this feed in Google Reader - againt, UTF-8, everything is ok. But in Zimbra Web client - all accented characters look like from different encoding, although ZCS WC is on UTF-8 too.
Could it be a problem of server OS default encoding, or Default MySQL encoding for ZCS? Have not seen such problem with other sites in Latvian. I understand, that these issues could be connected with source site configuration too, but test for Google reader proved, that these feeds can be imported correctly.

Stars! They're just like us! Even Jeremy Renner shops at Bed, Bath & Beyond! I hope he remembered his 20% off coupon.
The Avengers star was spotted at one of the chain's Los Angeles locations yesterday, loading up on a bunch of fun stuff. Why is that celebrities never leave with like, one basket? There always seems to be an excessive amount of things.
While that question is neither here nor there, here's something I learned today: Jeremy was in Pink's music video for "Trouble" back in 2003.
Don't ask me why I didn't already know this–I have berated myself plenty. Now that Jeremy has joined social media, he's getting in on all the social media trends, like #ThrowbackThursday. He posted this photo yesterday with the caption, "#tbt Got my ass handed to me by @Pink in her music video 'Trouble.' "
Honestly, I barely remember this video. I think in 2003 I'd made the switch to VH1 from MTV because they were loving all the decades and having best weeks ever. But this video is making me happy. Check it out below for some old school Jeremy, then launch the gallery to see what goodies he got from B, B & B.

Awesome. Totally, totally awesome. I didn't need another reason to buy this, but I'll take it. I already have the money stashed away for this.I really hope to support saving/loading high scores to/from the savekey or AVox. I had some stuff coded for a while but haven't had any chance to test with it (since I can't test that on an emulator it makes for a longer test cycle). I figure if I am able to implement it, we can probably work that into the winning label design somehow.
Ken, is your game still going to make use of the AtariVox / SaveKey ?
It's just that I don't see anything on the contest page about adding Nathan's AVox logo to the design and I still have your memory space allocated.

I agree. The more clear the reference that it is indeed "the prosystem" and not some amature system, the happier I am.

I don't know why, but I think this one is my favorite. It feels very 7800 for some reason. (If I could make a suggestion; I'd add some background to the image , like in Tower Toppler).
Just got another label, this time from David Torres:

See now I like both of these the BEst. Infact, after seeing what other people liked best recently, I thought to myself, man I think Rose & Shahans, if they were with the original silver 7800 label(even though I personally love the black background ones), would be tops and funny how they both must have thought the same because not 24 hours later, theyve got what I was thinking right here. I think Im leaning toward Rose's but I definatly think these are top 2. Great Work and if I shouldnt be speaking up like this, someoen tell me because

Hello everyone, I'm Darrin Rose. I'm a long time lurker around these parts. I've started to enter a couple of the label contests in the past, but this is the first time my crazy work schedule has allowed me time to finish what I started. Plus, Q*bert is my wife's favorite game, and one of the few games we play together. Buy or win... this one's a no brainer!
The process I used to make the label designs was to first draw it with pencil. Then scan it, and do my "inking" with Illustrator. After that, I took it into Photoshop to finish it off. My idea for the first label was to just get something out there with my personal spin on the characters, the second was to make it look more like a 7800 cart, and the third was to just go crazy and do the characters in the "Saturday Morning Supercade" style.

I've had cbpolicyd enabled on zimbra for some time. We use it to limit outbound mail, to try to stop spammers from using compromised accounts to sent thousands of junk messages per minute (getting us blacklisted, quickly).
We set it up on zimbra 7.2.2, and about a month later upgraded to 8.0.4.
I have it setup very similarly to the basic examples for rate limiting found on the zimbra wiki. Postfix Policyd - Zimbra :: Wiki The main difference is that i added a policy exception such that our inbound mail (which all comes from our spam appliances) are not rate limited, but all other mail is, and instead of matching on sender address, i match on SASL username.
Anyway, after the upgrade, i re-enabled policyd (i had to re-import my sqlite db) and now it rejects every message it receives, flat out, relay access denied.
I have duplicated this in our dev environment for testing (and turned off policyd in production). This is the error i'm seeing in the zimbra.log.

"The Valentine Davies award honors Writers Guild members whose humanitarian work and community service has made a difference in people's lives," said WGAW President Patric M. Verrone. "Both Carl Reiner and Vicki Riskin have each done extraordinary work that has positively impacted individuals and entire communities."
Reiner has been a longtime advocate for the education, well being, and artistic development of America's youth. Among the many community-based projects he has been involved with, he hosted for many years both the Young Musicians' Foundation annual major fundraiser and Big Brothers of America's annual awards show. For the past two decades-plus, he has had a charitable tennis tournament established in his name to benefit The ERAS Center, a home for children. More recently, Reiner has been extensively involved in Target's "…Caught Reading" children's literacy program.
A former President of the Writers Guild of America, West, award-winning writer-producer and human rights activist, Riskin's humanitarian efforts continue to extend far beyond the page. A founding member of Human Rights Watch/California, the largest U.S.-based human rights organization with a worldwide staff of more than 250 men and women who expose human rights abuses in over 70 countries, Riskin currently serves as its chair in both Los Angeles and Santa Barbara.
Riskin has received numerous service awards, including the Chairman's Award by the Caucus of Writers, Producers and Directors for her leadership role in the Creative Community's fight against media concentration, the Justice Rose Bird Person of Courage Award by Death Penalty Focus, the Horace Mann Alumna of the Year Award by Antioch University Los Angeles, and the Human Rights-Defender of the First Amendment Award by the ACLU of Southern California.
Reiner, a twelve-time Emmy Award winner and WGAW member since 1959, is a true Renaissance man of American comedy, having forged a six-decade career in television and film as a writer, director, producer, and actor. Whether a co-star on legendary TV series The Sid Caesar Show or Your Show of Shows, creator and co-star of The Dick Van Dyke Show, screenwriter of such classic films as The Thrill of It All or Enter Laughing, or director of big-screen comedy hits like Oh, God or All of Me, Reiner has entertained and influenced three generations of audiences on both the small and big screen.
Born in the Bronx and the son of a watchmaker, Reiner served in WWII, first training as a radio operator in the Air Force, followed by an assignment to Georgetown University to study French to become an interpreter; then as a teletype operator in the Signal Corps, and later as a comedian/actor with Maurice Evans' Special Services Entertainment Unit, touring the Pacific for 18 months in G.I. revues. Upon his honorable discharge in 1946, he landed the leading role in the national company of Call Me Mister and, after three years appearing in various Broadway musicals, joined Sid Caesar and Imogene Coco on the classic TV show Your Show of Shows.
In 1961, creator Reiner conceived The Dick Van Dyke Show, which would become one of the most beloved, influential sitcoms in the TV history. During the show's popular run, from 1961 to 1966, Reiner also co-starred as TV producer Alan Brady. The New Dick Van Dyke Show followed, airing from 1971 to 1974.
In addition to collaborating with comedian Steve Martin on several hit movies – with Reiner directing comedy hits The Jerk, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (co-written with Martin and Gipe), The Man With Two Brains (co-written with Martin and George Gipe), and All of Me – Reiner has written and directed numerous acclaimed films including The Comic (co-written by Reiner and Aaron Ruben), Enter Laughing (screenplay by Joseph Stein and Reiner), and Bert Rigby, You're A Fool. His other feature films credits as a director include Oh, God, Where's Poppa?, Summer Rental, Summer School, The One and Only, Fatal Instinct, Sibling Rivalry, and That Old Feeling. Beyond his numerous TV credits writing and/or co-writing episodes of both The Dick Van Dyke Show and The New Dick Van Dyke Show, Reiner's other screenwriting credits include The Thrill of It All (based on a story by Larry Gelbart and Reiner), for which he received a WGA Comedy: Screen nomination, and The Art of Love (based upon a story by Alan Simmons and William Sackheim).
In addition to receiving four WGA nominations and a Writers Guild Award for The Sid Caesar Special (1968, Variety: Series or Special: Musical or Comedy, shared with co-writers Mel Brooks, Sam Denoff, William Persky, and Mel Tolkin), Reiner received the WGAW's prestigious Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award for Television in 1995, honoring his lifetime achievement in outstanding TV writing. Reiner's other numerous accolades over the years include being inducted in to the Television Academy's Hall of Fame in 1999, receiving the Kennedy Center's Mark Twain Prize in Comedy in 2001, the Directors Guild of America's Honorary Life Member Award in 2007, and the Television Critics Association's Career Achievement Award in 2003, as well as receiving his own star on the Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
Comic duo Reiner and Mel Brooks even scored a 1999 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word/Comedy Album for their collaboration on Rhino Records' The 2,000-Year-Old Man in the Year 2000 – The Album CD. On the literary front, Reiner's other books include All Kinds of Love (1993), Continue Laughing (1995), How Paul Robeson Saved My Life (1999), a collection of short stories, My Anecdotal Life (2003), children's books Tell Me a Scary Story (2003) and The 2,000 Year-Old Man Goes to School (2005), and his latest novel, NNNNN (2006). Reiner has a trio of books slated for publication this year: Just Desserts and Carl Reiner's Novel Beginnings, as well as a 50th Anniversary edition of Enter Laughing.
As an actor, Reiner has appeared in countless films, including a starring role in The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming, as well as featured cameo roles in It's A Mad, Mad,
Mad World, The End, The Slums of Beverly Hills, and his most recent ensemble role: as Saul in the trio of hit comedy heist capers Ocean's 11, Ocean's 12, and Ocean's 13. His TV acting appearances include stints on Family Law, Boston Legal, The Bernie Mac Show, Crossing Jordan, and Mad About You, for which he earned his most recent Emmy (Outstanding Guest Appearance by An Actor in a Comedy Series), memorably portraying fictional Dick Van Dyke Show character Alan Brady.
A WGAW member since 1994, Victoria Riskin is a television writer-producer, as well as a former WGAW President (2001-2004) – the first woman president in Guild history. During her term as Guild President, in addition to advocating for the rights of television and screenwriters, Riskin was active in opposing media concentration, lobbying in Washington for greater diversity and for more independent voices in television.
Her television career began in 1989 as executive producer of the award-winning telefilm The Last Best Year, based on her own experiences as a psychologist in private practice. She also produced A Town Torn Apart for NBC with Michael Tucker and Jill Eikenberry. With her husband, past WGAW President David W. Rintels, Riskin produced World War II: When Lions Roared, for which they received the Outstanding Producers of the Year Award from the Producers Guild of America. The acclaimed miniseries received six Emmy nominations and earned one Emmy Award. She was served as executive producer of the television adaptation of Carson McCullers' The Member of the Wedding. Riskin also penned an adaptation of Willa Cather's classic novel My Antonia, for which she won the World Media Award Silver Medal for Screenwriting and produced the Emmy-winning film. She has written teleplays for CBS, NBC, and USA Network.
In addition to being a past chair and trustee of the Writers and Producers Pension and Health Fund, Riskin was the founding chair of Hollywood, Health, & Society, a joint project of the Annenberg School of Communications, the Norman Lear Center, the United States Center for Disease Control and the Writers Guild. She is a past Trustee of the American Film Institute and the Museum of Radio and Television, currently serves on the advisory board of the Partnership for Public Service, and is a member of the International Women's Forum, having lectured widely on women's rights and the need to expand human rights principles and laws globally. She is currently chair of the Board of Trustees of Antioch University, Santa Barbara.
Riskin's parents both have strong ties to Hollywood: her mother was iconic screen actress Fay Wray, who starred in over 70 films including King Kong, and her father was Oscar-winning screenwriter Robert Riskin, who penned It Happened One Night, Meet John Doe, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, and Lost Horizon, among other films. To honor her father, she established the Robert Riskin Screenwriting Award for writing excellence in the USC School of Cinema "for that script which best reflects an appreciation of human values."

Deputies: Man threatened to bomb Keys post office
Published: Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 10:55 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 10:55 p.m.
MARATHON — A man is charged with threatening to blow up a Florida Keys post office.
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office says 69-year-old Juan Zigler handed clerks at the Marathon post office a garbled note Friday that threatened to blow up the Keys. They say he then threw an object over the counter that clerks thought might be a firecracker.
When deputies arrived, they arrested Zigler. The object appeared to be a battery with a wire attached to it.
Zigler was charged with making a false bomb report and delivering a hoax bomb and released. No phone number for Zigler could be found Saturday.

Discuss in the Sony Cyber-shot Talk forum
The Sony E 50mm F1.8 OSS is a short telephoto prime lens for Sony's NEX-series interchangeable lens cameras. Its effective focal length of 75mm makes this an ideal lens for portraiture, and a fast maximum aperture of F1.8 is great for low-light or shallow depth-of-field photography. Optical performance is excellent, and Sony's OSS optical image stabilization is very useful for general photography, to keep things nice and shake-free. Watch out for one thing though - like other silver E-series lenses, the exterior of this high-performance prime attracts scuffs and scratches extremely easily.

Gary Michael Hilton has just filed an appeal of his conviction and death sentence.
Leon County court records show Hilton filed his intent to appeal this week with the Florida Supreme Court. The high court's web site lists his address as "death row."
Hilton was convicted in February 2011 of the 2007 kidnapping and murder of Crawfordville Sunday School teacher and FSU nurse Cheryl Dunlap. Dunlap was abducted from Leon Sinks and her decapitated body was found two weeks later in the Apalachicola National Forest.
A spokesperson with the public defender's office says it could take a while to compile all the transpcripts and records for the Supreme Court. She estimates there could be more than 10-thousand pages worth of documents.
To follow this appeal yourself, you can log on to the Florida Supreme Court web site and do a docket search. Choose "search by party or attorney," type in the name Gary Hilton and you can see a timeline of all filings, hearings and developments in the case.

Singer/Actress Demi Lavato Almost Killed By Barney As Child Star
By Celeb Stink 7 years ago
Demi Lovato's career almost ended before it began - she was nearly crushed by children's star Barney when she was eight.
The singer/actress started her career as one of the giant purple dinosaur's sidekicks on hit show Barney & Friends. She loved the experience, but it could have ended so differently.
Lovato, who celebrated her 17th birthday on Thursday (20Aug09), tells Starpulse.com, "We were shooting one day (and) I almost got trampled by it (Barney) because I wasn't paying attention. And that was frightening because the suit's extremely heavy." (IG/WNWC/JMA)

Misinformation about Israel and "Palestine" abounds. The area was ruled by the Turks for 200 years. It was "won" by the British during World War I, who became its overseer. Its Jewish population numbered in excess of 600,000 and after World War II, Jewish survivors of the Holocaust sought sanctuary there.
In 1948 the United Nations partitioned the area into two states. Three-quarters became Jordan and one-quarter became Israel. Before turning over the newly formed state of Israel to the Jews, the Arabs were armed by other nations in hopes that Israel would be crushed. It wasn't. Jews continued to find a home in Israel, buying up any land that Arab landowners were willing to sell.
In 1967, when the adjacent Arab nations sought to destroy Israel on its holiest day, Yom Kippur, the Israelis defeated them again, taking control of the Golan Heights, Jerusalem, and Gaza. Fearing reprisal, Israeli Arabs fled to bordering Arab countries but were denied citizenship and forced to live in refugee camps, a deplorable condition which exists to this day. The Israelis gave back Gaza but kept Jerusalem as its capital and the Golan Heights for security reasons.
The "Palestinian" issue is a ruse by Arab nations to facilitate the demise of Israel.

A woman in Spokane, Washington, says she's had a number of run-ins with her 32-year-old neighbor, including threats that he was going to burn down her home. She called 911 when he appeared at her door with a gun in his hand, trying to kick his way in. When officers arrived, he ran back into his own house, which was quickly surrounded. Officers tried for over an hour to get him to reply to their attempts to communicate, but he didn't respond to a bullhorn or phone calls. Then, officers saw the guy climb out his bedroom window and onto his icy roof. From there, he subjected officers to a barrage of taunts, saying he was ready to fight them, but the barrage didn't last long: he slipped and fell off the roof.
A teller at a bank in Antioch, California, had to get her manager to help with a customer's note — the handwriting was so poor she couldn't read it herself. The customer lacked the patience to wait for the clerk and manager to discuss the situation; he left, apparently before the bank employees figured out it was a robbery note. When they did figure it out, they summoned the police. Later, responding to a call about an unwanted guest at a nearby shopping mall, police arrested a man fitting the robber's description.

2nd baby shower in one year?
I had a baby boy in June 2008 and am now expecting baby #2 in July 2009. My generous friends showered me for my first baby and we got everything we needed and then some (big items gender neutral). I do not yet know the sex of the new baby, but if it's a girl, my friends are excited about throwing me a 2nd shower. While I am honored that they are so enthusiastic, I have read a lot of posts on BabyCenter in which people think it is totally inappropriate and greedy to have a 2nd shower. I don't want ANY of my friends and family to feel like I'm just asking for gifts, so if I do accept I don't plan to register. Some people think it is awful to throw a 2nd shower (especially since my kids will only be a year apart) and others think all babies should be celebrated. But since there is such a divide, I am worried about offending someone I care about and part of me thinks I should not accept the offer of another shower for that reason. What should I do?

I also would not have another baby shower where I would register for gifts. If you do want to celebrate (which I'm sure you want to!) maybe have a smaller, less formal party or as one suggested, have a welcoming party where you get to show your baby off!posted 01/27/2010 by S_Marie777
I had my children 4 years apart and did not feel it was appropriate for to another formal baby shower (in terms of registering). I did however want to do something to celebrate my second child. So what we did instead was have a "Welcome" or "Meet" the baby shower shortly after the baby was born. We did not ask for gifts but it's a natural tendency for people to bring something for the baby anyways. We still played baby shower games and gave prizes and did all the fun things you at a regular shower except it's even better because people get to see and enjoy the end result- the baby. =0) It was coed and a very good reason to get family and friends together. Maybe this is an option for you? Hope this helped.posted 06/30/2009 by mellicita
why not just have a mommy shower? you're about to go through the most challenging time (2 babies under 1) of your life so why not have a pamper day for the girls. there are a lot of spa companies who come to your home and have themed packages - i can't think of a better time. everyone will be there for you one last time and you can get some relaxation - and you won't be asking for gifts. you will be celebrating the birth of the new baby - just in a different way! don't forget the mimosas for the rest of them!posted 01/17/2009 by hannah07smom
I think the only thing that matters is how you feel and what you think. Your friends sound lovely so perhaps let them do all the worrying! Or why not talk to one of them who is likely to be the ringleader and suggest a mini shower wih just a few toys or trinkets. Who cares what other people think? If they want to be mean about it they don't have to be involved!posted 01/17/2009 by a BabyCenter Member

With this new update (the additional two slots, which I'll never be able to use because I'm cheap) you've changed the 6th slot from E to W.
This bugs me because for months, I've been using it a certain way and now you've up and gone changed it. It's no big issue, I can adapt within a few days, but it made me think – why not allow us to choose what hotkeys we use now (without forcing us to spend X gems to unlock the 2 other slots)
Some may prefer to use keys like Z, X, C, V and space bar. How about opening up a FREE option to do so….
Would be a nice minor update :)

Koljo Nikolovski Sentenced to 18 Years in Prison for Role in One of the Largest Credit Union Collapses in American History
|U.S. Attorney's Office May 11, 2012
An Eastlake man who played a key role in one of the largest credit union collapses in American history was sentenced to 18 years in prison, United States Attorney Steven M. Dettelbach said.
Koljo Nikolovski, 49, of Eastlake, Ohio and Skopje, Macedonia, was sentenced to consecutive prison sentences of 10 years and eight years by U.S. District Judge Christopher Boyko.
"This sentence should send a strong message to those who would engage in financial fraud," Dettelbach said. "The collapse of the St. Paul Croatian Federal Credit Union was a tremendous hardship for this community."
Nikolovski pleaded guilty in January to 10 counts of bank fraud, three counts of bank bribery, and five counts of money laundering for his role in the collapse of St. Paul Croatian Federal Credit Union.
The credit union closed in 2010, costing the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund more than $170 million.
Nikolovski fraudulently obtained several loans from St. Paul and Raguz, totaling approximately $2.9 million, from 2003 through 2005 that were not repaid. He also fraudulently obtained several additional loans in 2009, totaling $2.7 million, and failed to repay those as well, according to court documents.
Nikolovski corruptly gave credit union CEO Anthony Raguz $100,000 in exchange for Raguz approving and facilitating the fraudulent loans, according to court documents.
In 2009, Raguz tried to disassociate himself from Nikolovski, but Nikolovski followed Raguz home, told him he knew where Raguz's family lived, and threatened to shoot Raguz and family members if he either refused to provide a loan or told anyone about previous loans, according to court records.
Nikolovski's money laundering counts relate to the purchase of two Mercedes Benz automobiles for about $99,000 and $60,000 and a wire transfer of $2.3 million to a bank account in Skopje, Macedonia.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys John D. Sammon and Bridget M. Brennan, following an investigation by the Cleveland Offices of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation Division, with the assistance of the Eastlake Police Department.

By following my highly effective and easy to implement magic mushroom growing guide, you will save yourself the time and frustration that comes with learning how to grow magic mushrooms on your own.
My name is Joe and I have been growing magic mushrooms, off and on, for over 10 years.Magic mushroom is a term used to describe any mushroom that produces a psychedelic effect when ingested.The most common and easiest to grow of all the magic mushrooms is the Psilocybe Cubensis.When I use the term magic mushroom, I am referring specifically to the Psilocybe Cubensis mushroom.
Growing Psilocybe Cubensis mushrooms is something that anyone can do.They can be grown indoors or outdoors and growing them doesn't require a lot of time, space,or expense.Growing Psilocybe Cubensis mushrooms is an easy task,but learning how to grow them can be a lengthy and frustrating endeavor.That is why I have created the most complete and actionable growing guide I have ever seen. I want to pass along all of the knowledge I have acquired over the years to help minimize your failures and maximize your success.
When I first became interested in growing magic mushrooms, it was difficult to find an easy growing technique to implement.Since I was just beginning and I didn't have access to a lot of equipment, I wanted a technique that was easy to follow but still produced good results. My first attempt at growing was done by following what is known as the Psilocybe Fanaticus technique or the PF tek.This was supposed to be a good technique,because it was considered to have a low failure rate.
When I implemented the PF tek it did produce results, but required a lot of time and work for a small amount of mushrooms.I quickly progressed to what is considered a more advanced growing technique referred to as a casing technique. While I could clearly see the benefits of using the casing technique it took me one year of failed attempts before I could successfully grow Psilocybe Cubensis mushrooms using this technique. Eventually, I mastered the casing process and it is still the basis of my technique. When done properly, I have found that a good casing technique is much less work and much more effective than the PF tek.
Here is just one of the advantages of my technique over the PF tek.The PF tek requires you to prepare a mixture of brown rice flour and vermiculite for the mushrooms food source. After you prepare the food source you have to load it into ½ pint jars. My technique uses whole birdseed as the food source and you load it into ½ gallon jars. 2, ½ gallon jars of birdseed will give you the same yield as about 20, ½ pint jars of brown rice flour and vermiculite so for an equivalent yield, the amount of work involved in the preparation and clean up is much less.
Over the years I experimented with many different growing variables such as food sources,growing containers,and automation devices for air,lighting, and temperature control. I kept any adjustment that improved the growing process and I eliminated anything that didn't help or was unnecessary. The final result after years of trial and error is my highly refined, easy to follow, and very effective magic mushroom growing technique, the most efficient technique that I have ever found.
Here are some of the reasons why I believe my guide is the best choice for anyone who wants to learn how to grow magic mushrooms:
• Easy to Implement
the years I have
discovered many adjustments which have eliminated any unnecessary work
and maximized the results.
One notable difference that sets my guide apart from other guides on the market is that I have divided the growing process into two parts. This allows you to concentrate on only one part at a time and you can get started without having to buy everything all at once.
• A Highly Refined and Proven Technique
Immediately start off with a technique that took me years of experimenting and refining to perfection. Save yourself all of the time and frustration that I went through while learning how to grow magic mushrooms on my own.
• Contaminate Resistant Formula
Learn the exact materials and techniques I use that contaminates hate but magic mushrooms love. Losing batches due to contamination is almost a non-issue when following this guide.
• Perfect for Beginners or Intermediate Growers
Some people consider "casing" techniques to be more difficult for beginners compared to the PF tek. The technique outlined in my guide, is an easier and more effective method than the PF tek. .
• Affordable Start up Costs and Minimal Recurring Costs
Almost all of the growing equipment is re-usable and only needs to be purchased once. Besides the cost of this guide, if you have to purchase all the required materials, the total cost will only be around $240. Most of the non-reusable ingredients are sold in quantities large enough to last for at least two grows. The cost of materials that need to be replenished every grow is less than $10.00
• Produces a Good Yield
The great thing about my method is that even though the process is easy to implement, the results are very good. I typically yield between 3 and 5 ounces of dried mushrooms per grow!
• Very Discreet
While the magic mushrooms are growing, the only thing that is visible is an ordinary 14 gallon Rubbermaid container. There are no cords, or mechanical devices to make noise or attract attention.
• Easily Obtainable Growing Materials
All of the materials required to follow my guide can be purchased at retail stores like Target or Wal-Mart. This is convenient because if any of the equipment breaks, it is very easy to replace. I will also provide you with links to places you can buy the materials online. The only material that you cannot purchase at a store is the mushroom spore syringe. Those have to be ordered from an online vendor but I will reveal to you the vendors I recommend.One thing I want to mention is that the possession of Psilocybe Cubensis mushroom spores is illegal in California, Idaho, and Georgia. Because of this, many spore vendors will not ship Psilocybe Cubensis spores to those states so it may be difficult to obtain the necessary spore syringe.However, in the guide I will provide a link to a spore vendor who has a shipping option for those states.
• Videos and Pictures of Complex Steps
Inside of the guide you will receive a link to the member's area where I host pictures and videos to accompany the guide.A couple of the steps may be somewhat challenging to fully understand just from reading the text, so I have included videos of me performing those steps. There are also pictures of the required materials, different mushroom growing phases, and the modified growing equipment.
• Successful Indoors or Outdoors
This technique can be implemented indoors, outdoors, or a mixture of both. In the guide I state that I prefer using natural elements whenever possible such as light, and fresh air, but this technique will work strictly indoors if desired.
• Ongoing Support
When you purchase the guide you will have access to my email address and you can ask me about any questions or concerns you may have regarding growing mushrooms.
Here is a list of everything that is included with the guide:
• An instantly downloadable, 32 page E-book outlining the entire growing process from start to finish.
• Detailed information on where to find the necessary materials.
• Access to the member's area where I host the tutorial videos and pictures.
• A glossary of commonly used mushroom growing terms.
• My email address in case you have any questions or concerns regarding growing mushrooms.
I truly believe this is the best guide for anyone who wants to jump on the fast path to learning how to grow magic mushrooms.I'm also highly confident that you will be completely satisfied with this guide.
Thank you.

The peace of mind this product provides is priceless for any vacation anywhere there is salt in the warm water. My wife would not let me do anything in Hawaii without this on my leg. A woman was bitten by a tiger shark just before our vacation and this is the only way I could salvage my trip! To be honest, it gave me great peace of mind as well. Hawaii is not the best snorkeling place by any means but I love the water so no choice. After spending a few thousand on hotels and airfare this was cheap insurance. The battery caused almost no drag and its weight was counterbalanced by the neoprene velcro case. You can test it in the water or by placing the electrode in a pail of salt water and sticking your hand in. You get a rather strong shock, most unpleasant but not harmful. I wore a complete neoprene jumpsuit in the water so that the electric field would be stronger and extend enough to be able to cover my wife as well when she was in the water with me. Put your mind at ease, it is extremely well designed and well built. A product that has obviously been worked on and tested for a long time. I had absolutely no problem using my split fins. Will never dive or snorkel without it again. I emailed the manufacturer and the owner and designer actually replied and explained its features and benefits and how his four girls use these in Australia. Heck, it costs as much as a good bcd and should be in everyones pack. They do sell a special scuba model but that one cannot be used for snorkeling. So this is the best of both worlds. Scuba.com shipped this FEDEX without extra charge - thanks! A+++++ for the shark shield.

Dont get a shortie. Get this jumpsuit. It was very stretchy, you forget you have it on. Easy to put on and the usual slight difficulty peeling it off when wet. Dries in a few hours. The comfort of this suit is fantastic. It is well stitched and showed very little sign of wear after two weeks snorkeling in Maui. The collar seals well and is comfortable. I had a small loose "pocket" in the suit at the base of my back but it never bothered me at all once I was swimming, never got a cold rush at all. Water in Maui is colder than in the Caribbean. Dont imagine that a t-shirt is sufficient if you want to do REAL snorkeling. It is also very bouyant, you can just float and watch fish or turtles without any effort. That gives it a high safety factor in waters with currents. Needless drownings occur in Maui every year because of currents - protect yourself with this suit. The color is nice and does not bring the negative attention that silver suits do. I have never tried the very expensive suits but after wearing this I will never need to. It is reasonably priced, seals well in the collar, arms and legs, is well designed and stitched, stretchy, very comfortable, warm and bouyant. It also has very good knee pads to prevent injury. This suit is perfect for warm water snorkeling or diving. I had a shorty before when I went to Bonaire, Bahamas and Maui and trust me, this jumpsuit is far superior and gives far better service. I dont have a problem with pride or trying to look cool like some do with shorties or lycra suits with cool designs - when I do water sports I want comfort and safety and this suit delivers. Get it. Dont think about it, get it.

Unlike the ad, water DOES get into these snorkels - many times in the kind of light waves in Maui - 8 to 12 inch waves. They are however easy to clear and do prevent major swallowing of water that old style snorkels would allow. Not a bad buy for that reason alone. Saved me a couple of times when I had equipment problems and looked down into the water while trying to breath reflexively. Other dry snorkels appear to offer the same benefits so Im not convinced the higher price of this snorkel is worth it if the others prevent snorkels from flooding as well. If you do buy this I doubt you will ever find a way to flood the snorkel which I think is absolutely necessary not only to prevent a bad experience but for safety as well.

I snorkeled in Maui with these off shore and off boats. The first day I had mild cramping in my foot and no cramps in my calf. The next snorkeling days were uneventful - no pain and no cramps. This is in contrast to my previous ordinary fins that always caused cramps particularly in one of my feet. Propulsion is superior to ordinary fins - I have no doubt in my mind. On a visit to Turtle Town I had to flipper against a current and found it tough going. I had a snorkeling air vest, so turned over on my back and flippered backwards and just motored along effortlessly against the current. Excellent design. I watched the flipper action in the water, it is rigid on the power stroke and the middle slightly folds on the down stroke allowing lower resistance - however still providing power. The slipper part was very soft, no need for flipper socks at all. Get these fins for whatever snorkeling you do. Superior in comfort, power and weight. Super deal - the dive crew on the boats were all agog. Wake up Hawaii!

Kids and Money: Interest
Posted By Miranda Marquit On 05/24/2011 @ 12:06 pm In Family | 5 Comments
Interest has a big impact on your finances, as you well know. However, interest is a foreign concept to most children. It can also be somewhat difficult to teach. If you want your child to grow up to make better decisions — earning interest rather than paying it — this is a concept that needs to be addressed.
While it might be a bit much to teach toddlers [3] about interest, I have found that my eight year old son is capable of getting at least a glimmer of the concept of interest. We first started talking about it during Monopoly. My son has discovered that he loves Monopoly. At first, he thought mortgaging property was great. Instant money! But I pointed out to him that a mortgage had to be paid back with interest. I explained that interest is an extra fee you pay because you are really "renting" money that isn't yours. After paying an extra 10% interest to discharge his mortgage (he was tired of not earning any money when someone landed on his mortgaged property), he got the idea. He has done his best to avoid borrowing in Monopoly ever since.
Some other things you can do to teach kids about interest include:
If you have debt, you can talk about how you regret it, and show them your credit card statement. Since the Credit CARD Act was passed, creditors have to put how much you will pay back at the end. Show your child how much more you are paying back, thanks to credit card interest [4]. It can be a powerful lesson, and teach your child to learn from your mistakes. Even if you aren't interested in revealing that much about your finances to your children, you can find other ways to get the point across.
If you give your child an allowance, you can illustrated interest by allowing them to borrow from you — if they pay you interest. You can work out a payment plan, and show them that if they use your money for a purchase, they will have to repay more. Make sure your child understands that whenever they borrow money, it's not free; there's a charged attached.
You can also emphasize the idea of earning interest. Borrow a few dollars from your child after he or she has built up some allowance. Then, a few days later, return the money with interest. Show your child how interest works both ways, and how it is possible to earn interest when you use your resources wisely.
Help your child set up a high yield savings account [5]. Periodically deposit money in the account with your child, and then show him or her how much interest is being earned. You can even go online and help your child find higher interest yields. I have a 529 set up for my son. Even though he doesn't really understand investing, he does see that the money on the 529 statement exceeds what has been invested. He can see that there is a return, and that compound interest is working in his favor.
What ideas do you have for teaching your kids about interest?

Dicks sporting goods by the mall of LA has incredible prices on deer stands, I'm not sure about tripod stands, but lean on stands are only $50. you might want to try Academy too I know for sure they have em.
Ameristep Raptor is Aluminum. Good luck. R. Eaton www.ameristep.com
My friend bought a pair of aluminum collapsible tripods made for surf fishing. They only weigh around 25 to 30 pounds max maybe less. He found them in a surf fishing machine. They use them to surf fish in the gulf to get above breaker waves and for vision. They take about 8 seconds to open up, have a small folding plastic boat seat and an aluminum platform. I welded the feet closed and added a brace to stiffen the platform and they are awesome and he painted them asat camo. They were a little pricey but worth it, in the $300s.
Timo85: Ladderstand isn't going to work where I'm hunting because there is no trees.
The ameristep raptor looks cool but it can only be like 6 foot or so tall to the foot platform. I'm looking for something lightweight like that but around 10 foot tall to the foot platform. Thanks though. That's one of the better options I've found though.
Where do you find a surf fishing platform at? I searched for them on the internet but couldn't find them.
I have gone to Atchafalaya Delta WMA and seen some guys using some portable tripods. These looked to be about 12 feet tall with a boat seat and a small round platform all the way around. Sure could use them where I hunt in Avoyelles. Always wondered where I could get a few. I am good at building and welding. If anyone has pics or knows where I can get one or a pattern I would greatly appreciate it. I think this may be what your looking for as well.
Jason I found one for $350. Here is the link. http://www.tacticalandhuntinggear.net/pd_ameristep_the_nontypical_raptor_tripod.cfm It weighs 40 lbs.
Mount some 12" wheels on that Raptor and you are in man!!!!!!
Has tri-pods up to 16 ft tall , a 16 ft stand is about 13'9" to foot platform
Jason my friend found them in a surf fishing catalogue but they are only 6 ft tall. Work great for bow hunting hunting trails in marsh. It's a pretty simple build and you have to assemble nothing, just open it up and climb on. No pins or anything. We drop people off in the boat and you walk out into the marsh with it on your shoulder and just open it up and climb up. We only use 6 ft because you can put it behind a willow or myrtle or canes for cover to stand and draw, any higher wouldn't work for us.
Hoyt-72: Yep that's what I'm looking for. Something that I can carry in and out for hunting on a refuge where trees are not around.
Ricky: Thanks for the link.
Bigjim: I see. 6 foot might work for me too. I just need stomething to put up in the canes/willows/myrtles too and I'm going to need good cover.
Any othe marsh hunters out there have any ideas?
Bumping this one up one more time for any other suggestions or plans where someone made a portable tripod.
If you have access to a mig welder, I made 2 of them 5 foot high out of EMT conduit. Mine has 4 legs with the front 2 actually a ladder. I made a 4' diameter ring with 1/2" emt conduit & used 1/2" plywood for the platform. I have a small swivel seat mounted to the platform. The legs & ladder are made w/3/4" emt. I welded 4 - 8" long 1" dia. pipe to the platform ring so the legs would slide into them. I have the back 2 legs pinned & adjustable to get the stand level. The legs have thin plates welded at the bottom to keep them from sinking too much. They work perfect for the marsh. I set them up in willows or rouseau cane. I've killed several deer using them. 2 of them (a 6 & 8 pt) were within 10 yards & never knew what hit em. The entire setup weighs maybe 30-40 pounds & only cost me about 50 bucks each to build.

Jesus. The Bible, John 6
Food Body Mind Spirit
This article takes a long look back to the ancient Biblical narratives to observe the human redemption story (the interactions with humans of the Hebrew God called Yahweh in the Old Testament and the Theos in the Greek language of the New Testament). We'll discover that it differs remarkably from current popular thought on how the body, food, and spirit connect.
In the Genesis account of creation the Creator declares to the first couple:
After companionship (remember Adam was lonely for a help-mate) food was the first gift to mankind from the Personal, Communicating, Transcendent Creator. The God of Genesis relates to Adam and Eve as a person who carries on conversations in a language they understand. They view him as the Creator, a separate and distinct entity from everything he has created. Just as a work of art is not confused with the artist himself, so God is not a pear, an ocean, a sun, or nature even though they reflect his glory and power. He is transcendent, a being existing apart from and beyond his creation.
The Creator, however, does not remain hidden. He becomes very visible in human form appearing as the long anticipated Messiah in a world dominated by Roman rule. In John 1 Jesus is called the Word, the Logos, identifying him as the original creator. Later Jesus demonstrates creative powers by providing a meal for thousands.
He also demonstrated his power and authority over the elements during a storm on the Sea of Galilee as his disciples observe:
"Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey
The God of Secular Humanism
At one time this philosophy seemed to be infused by an optimism, particularly in the era of the 1950's, that with enough time for research and exploration humankind could tap the power of the atom, reach the stars, plumb the microscopic depths, cure every disease, solve every human social and political problem.
By the latter part of the 20th century the Vietnam war, the inadequacy of the Great Society, Chernobyl, and the rise in the diseases of cancer, heart disease, and AIDS have become bitter lessons.
When it comes to food the irony is that just at the time nutritional scientists were identifying vitamins and minerals, essential fatty acids--essential nutrients that support life--technologists were perfecting refining processes to separate them from foods or to reconstitute them in synthetic forms. Refined white flour, subsequently "enriched," and homogenized milk are examples of the first, and margarine, a hydrogenated fat produced from a spin-off of the technology that produced TNT, is an example of the latter. All this was motivated by profit for the seller and convenience for the buyer, and without regard for the design of the Creator. Thus, the age of boxed mixes and prepackaged foods brought new freedom in the kitchen and profits to food packaging industries. Secular humanism, therefore, made man his own god, imitating but not succeeding in replacing the Original Creator's food supply.
The God of Cosmic Humanism
We call it the New Age philosophy or cosmic humanism. While atheistic (secular) humanism denies human spirituality, cosmic humanism affirms it. Everything is spiritual. You are god. I am god. Welcome to super spirituality! This "god," however, is neither transcendent (All is god. God is all.) or personal. Spokespersons for the new age thought (e.g. actress Shirley McClaine of Out On A Limb fame) emanate primarily from pop culture, not the ivy covered halls of universities.
Cosmic Humanism has ushered in whole new attitudes toward the environment, animals, trees, history, business, religiosity, and especially, food. For example, Laurel's Kitchen. the bible of health food cookery reveals interesting insights between attitudes toward spiritual matters and preparing food. In the introduction Laurel says:
The "name of the Lord," "Jesus" and "Lord" language sounds spiritual, but it is hardly biblical. First, anyone who has seen Charlton Heston approach the burning bush or come down from Mt. Siani in The Ten Commandments would know that the God of the Bible doesn't need anyone to make his name "hallowed." This God is a self-hallowing being. Lesser gods are self-contaminating. Furthermore, Jesus warned his followers about the meaninglessness and ineffectuality of repetitious words in prayers:
The Wheel of Mandela keeps going round and round. Jesus taught his disciples to directly address a living, personal God with "aba father," the believing response of a child. Finally, Laurel reveals the physical location of her god with "you're preparing food for the Lord in those you love (emphasis ours.)" Her lord is the god of the human spirit not the indwelling Holy Spirit of the Bible.
An atheistic humanist could take his vitamins and count calories, but a cosmic humanist counts the spiritual value of food. For example, a Hare Krishna cookbook classifies good and bad foods according to categories that defy any known nutritional system. In addition, food properly prepared must be presented to a portrait of Krishna and blessed before serving. If this sounds like idol worship, it is.
The God of the New Age is Mother Nature--all in all, including you and me. Thus cosmic humanism has elevated God's gift of food to the spiritual heights of salvation, magnifying its value to mega proportions.
Personal, Transcendent God
He reasons with cause and effect logic to explain the Creator's purpose.
Note the progression of revelation from God to man in the Apostle Paul's speech: God gives you rain from heaven. The rain causes the crops to grow. The crops produce a variety of foods (in their seasons). This variety of foods ends up on your table. When you eat it, your hearts are filled with joy. What motivated God? To show his kindness. To fill their hearts with joy. But why? For a testimony of himself--his existence, his power, and his character as the Personal, Communicating, Transcendent Creator.
Now observe the logical progression of God's revelation: We experience pleasure. The satisfaction came from eating a meal. Where did the food come from? It came from the crops grown on the farms. What enabled the crops to grow? The rain. Where did the rain come from? Above, beyond the human sphere. Conclusion: there must be an Ultimate Cause beyond these causes. As we seek the Ultimate Cause of our existence we find clues in Creation. This is called Natural Revelation. It is affirmed by the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Romans.
Therefore, God's first gift of food to mankind was the evidence pointing to who He really is, leaving us without excuse for not seeking and finding Him. The food on our table is meant to arouse our interest, to get our attention, to call us to our human responsibility to honor and worship the Source Creator.
Management Mandate
We call this the Management Mandate. Humankind has certainly increased in numbers, all 5 billion of us, but we have not always succeeded in subduing and ruling. The tiniest of creatures, viruses, can still kill us by the thousands. Managing the earth's resources is a God-given mandate. We see a New Testament illustration of this in Jesus' instructions to his disciples at the feeding of the thousands.
Leftovers at Jesus' feeding not only demonstrated the wonderful excess of his creative powers but also provisions for the disciples' families. Imagine Peter's mother-in-law's expression when he brought the basket of food scraps home!
God has created and provided food resources for us. It is our responsibility to prepare the soil, plant, cultivate, harvest, store, and prepare the food in such a way that it will bring pleasure. The Bible has a few food lists and a recipe or two (you would find Ezekiel's bread quite unpalatable--current commercial bread labels to the the contrary), but it is not a cookbook. Recipes and menus are a human responsibility. Thus, the management mandate translates into concern for the hidden value of food--nutrition, into a consciousness of cost control, and the allocation of time to tasks. The much praised women of Proverbs 31 certainly possessed giftedness in home and business management skills. The management mandate, rightly executed, reflects the character and nature of God in its purpose:
All is not well, however. The problem all humans experience (distancing from the Creator) begins with a Biblical story focusing on food.
The Human Declaration of Independence
Isn't it remarkable that the first recorded expression of human autonomous action involved the misuse of the food? It wasn't just an accident that Eve served the wrong menu. She served the forbidden fruit as the physical expression of what was going on in her mind, spirit, and emotions. "We can become like gods knowing good and evil" she rationalized at the serpent's suggestion while her husband stood by silently agreeing with her. Today the consequences of that act of independence are evident everywhere in the environment as well as in the human heart. Isn't it remarkable, too, that infants display some of their first acts of independence and willfulness against parents by throwing food in their parent's faces?
The rebellion did not dissipate with the first human generation. It intensified in the second. Again food, the offerings to the Creator, became the focus of the physical expression of obedience and disobedience.
Cain didn't just misread the menu. If that had been so, he would have responded to the warning. The sin links were set in motion--from the independent spirit, the disobedient challenge, then jealousy, rage, finally murder. Ultimately his attitude toward the Creator was expressed in his action against his brother.
Like Cain the New Age Cosmic Humanists are rebels, too. But they go a step further. They are invariably vegetarian, and they abhor both Abel and his offering. Not only do they believe that they should avoid killing animals. They believe that meat pollutes the human body and spirit while fruits and vegetables purify them. In their super spirituality they turn the ancient Patriarchal and Mosaic sacrificial system on its head. The meat eaters become the unforgiven sinners and the vegetarians become the sanctified saints.
New Agers, especially those who have taken up the cause for animal rights are adamant about this. For example, we've question people who've expressed more empathy for the cubs of the female mountain lion that stalked and killed a young woman jogger near Bishop, California than for her surviving children. The funds raised for the care of the lion's kittens (she was destroyed) came in multiples of that collected for the children. In fact we heard a young mother at a La Leche convention say that the jogger got what she deserved. I Timothy is instructive at this point.
We have deviated far the Creator's design for humans.
The Divine Declaration of Dependence
As the neophyte Israeli nation approaches the promised land, Moses carefully reviews the purpose of their dessert wandering experience and the significance of the manna. The manna came from God's hand dropped on them out of the sky. Free food. Nevertheless, they tired of it as Keith Green's song Manna Bread expressed so well "...manna burgers, manna bagels..." The same old stuff-- breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This attitude of ungratefulness and lack of trust in the Provider reaped them 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. They would learn dependence the hard way.
In the Garden of Eden the Creator did not simply offer the first
couple food. It was followed by communication and communion.
Likewise, the I AM God of Moses did not stop with the manna. The ten
commandments followed and a lot more. Man is more than a body and
must receive food for the soul as well as the body to understand the
Creator's purpose. God's Word reveals his design for all
relationships--spiritual, personal, and social. Thus, man does
not live by bread alone. Our daily bread is only the first
step. While it meets a temporal need, it demonstrates man's need for
a relationship with the Creator. This brings us to the ultimate
connection between food, our daily bread, and the final step in the
redemption story.
The Ultimate Gift--Jesus, The Lamb of God, the Bread of Life
Under the Mosaic system God expressed justice and mercy at the same time by providing the animal sacrifices. The death of a lamb was offered in man's place. This system was insufficient, however, because it could not establish an eternal fellowship between man and God. These sacrifices had to be repeated. God had made plans for a once and for all final sacrifice. That sacrifice would be his own Son, Jesus, the God-Man.
Jesus made this astounding claim in the context of an incredible feast which he hosted for over 5000 people. After a day in the country absorbing hours of his teaching, they were hungry. There were no readily available supermarkets. Jesus was not inclined to send them home on empty stomachs. The disciples found a small boy with a lunch of 2 fish and 5 loaves of barley bread. Jesus took it, broke it, gave the Father thanks for it, and gave it to the disciples to distribute to the people. They had all they wanted to eat. In fact the disciples collected twelve baskets of leftovers!
This indeed was fast food service! In response, the people sought to make Jesus a king (Burgerking?) Who wouldn't cling to a leader who could provide food so readily without apparent effort! Was Jesus concerned with their physical needs? Yes, Indeed! But if all they thought about was having their stomach's filled, they missed the main point of his compassionate and miraculous provision.
Those who were perplexed, though curious enough to stick with Jesus,
did eventually hear the answer as to what he was really about. His
point was that the instant meal was just the beginning of what he
had to offer. There was a lot more to come.
Food, then, is indeed given to us by God to nourish, sustain, and delight us. It also is an ever present reminder that there is more to life than just filling stomachs. Our minds and spirits crave for more meaning. Satisfaction is experience when we live in an intimate relationship to God because of Jesus Christ, the living bread from heaven. This is an enduring life that will never end. In right relationship to God everything else in life is meant to take its proper place for our health, joy, and usefulness for the glory of God--our self-concept, our relationships with others, our relationship to things, and yes, our right relationship to food. The link between the natural and the supernatural has come full circle.
