Pinned topic wasctrl-as from pre-caaned policies
do you provide an adjusted wasctrl-as script for WAS 8.x? I had a look in the actual script: the last added "wget" -call doesn't work under AIX. We need another procedure for WAS V8.x It seems that it have another behavior then before. With V6.x and V7.x we checked the PID-File which comes together with the message "ready for eBusiness". But under V8 the PID file comes earlier so that working dependencies could be a problem.
Any idea?
Re: wasctrl-as from pre-caaned policies2013-03-07T10:10:07ZThis is the accepted answer. This is the accepted answer.Hi Rüdiger,
we currently are working on the wasctrl-as script and got it working fine on AIX
with WAS 8.x by installing a wget-ssl package found in the web (e.g. wget-1.12-1ssl.aix6.1.ppc.rpm).
The script also works on Linux with WAS 8.x.
We only had to do some minor changes in the script. The updated version is planned to be part of the next pre-canned policy update. Sure you can get it right now, if you like to.
Regarding the PID-file, in this script it is only used for stopping and in case of resetting the resource.
So, there should be no problem, if it comes earlier with WAS 8.x.
To determine the status wget is used with this script version.

thank you for you answer. But wget we cannot use because none of our WebSphere Appserver have an installed/deployed Web Application we could call with wget. We now use the SoapPort as additional test beside the PID. But one problem remains: The monitoring should be work in revise order between Starting and Stopping. How you will solve this within your script?

I do not understand what you mean by "The monitoring should be work in revise order between Starting and Stopping.".
Starting only calls startServer.
Stopping only calls stopServer.
And monitoring uses all these 3 steps: First ps-command, then checking the SOAP-port and finally using wget to access WC_adminhost_secure.

what I want to say is: when I start an AppServer, the AppServer is up when not only when process is running but also the Port is open or in, your case, wget succeeded.
But what happens when I stopp an AppServer? The Monitor Command also check (perhaps) both, process and port (or wget). When the Monitor reports Offline? The checks in the Monitor Command normally runs in the same sequence. How can I tell the Monitor that the resource is in stopping mode?
In other words, when I stopp the AppServer Monitor has to report Offline, when the Process is completely ended.
When I start a AppServer the Monitor has to report Online when when Port ist open (or wget..). I think this are different behaviors when you check more the one situations in the Monitor Command.
I hope you understand what I mean.

ok, now I understand your problem.
If the WAS monitor reports offline too early, then SA MP will trigger stopping of dependent resources.
This can be a problem when resources like file-systems are umounted too early, right.
I found code that handles this problem in our oracle pre-canned scripts:
stopScriptRunning=`ps axwww |grep -E "oraclectrl-db stop .* $ORACLE_SID" | grep -v grep`
This script returns 'pending offline' instead of 'offline', as long as the Stop-Script is running.
This could be a solution for your problem, right?
Thanks for pointing me to this problem. I will think of adding according code to the WAS-script, too.
Regards Oliver

ok, that may work for some applications. But for WebSphere it could be quite complicate. You must check if the original WebSphere stop-command "stopServer.sh" is runnung but for this specific AppServer not for others on the same server/Lpar. Because this is also a java proc, it could be very difficult to find the correct process.

Hi Rüdiger,
I tried a changed wasctrl script with the following code to determine pending states:
stopScriptRunning=`ps axwww |grep -E "wasctrl-as stop ${AS_HOME} ${AS_TCPP} ${SERVER_NAME}" | grep -v grep`
startScriptRunning=`ps axwww |grep -E "wasctrl-as start ${AS_HOME} ${AS_TCPP} ${SERVER_NAME}" | grep -v grep`
if [ "$stopScriptRunning" != "" ]
# echo "stop script still running"
elif ...
The code checks for a specific AppServer, because it includes the servername and port.
Isn't this sufficient?

Get Pet Questions Answered by Pet Experts
Hi there!
Welcome to Just Answer!
What you are describing at the moment with welts all over your dog's body sounds like she may have hives. This is an allergic reaction that causes these swellings. It can be to an insect sting, or to a medication (is she on any at the moment?).
I would suggest that you treat her for this! Do you have any BENADRYL (diphenhydramine). The dose that one generally gives is 1mg/lb. Is she about 50lbs? It comes as 25 mg tablets, and if she is 50lbs, I would like you to go give her TWO TABLETS. This can be repeated every 8 hours for 24-36h.
Here is more about Benadryl:
You should see improvement within 30 minutes.
In the meantime, apply cool compresses (a small towel dipped in cold water and wrung out) to the affected areas.
Here is more about allergic reactions in dogs:
If the swelling is increasing in size or starting to include other areas such as around her face or nose, I suggest you take her to your veterinarian immediately. Please stay with her until it starts to come down because if it starts to cause swelling in her airways this could be serious. If it comes down with the Benadryl, it raises the index of suspicion that this is an allergic reaction.
If your Pit Bull mix does NOT respond to the Benadryl that would suggest that this is not hives, but instead is something called folliculitis, which is an inflammation of the hair follicle. There is even a name for it: "Short coat Folliculitis." Sounds impressive, doesn't it? It is generally caused by a bacterial infection in the hair follicle. These bacteria are just the normal ones that are present on normal skin, but they have invaded into her follicles. Short haired dogs are prone to this.
Now, in terms of what to do about it if this is short coat folliculitis, I must warn you that it often takes 30 to 60 days on an antibiotic (usually cephalexin) to resolve this. If, however, you want to try to treat this at home first, you could use a benzoyl peroxide shampoo but make sure to condition afterwards (I recommend an oatmeal conditioner). You can get the shampoo at your veterinary hospital, or at a big pet store (PetSmart might have it) or on-line. Try shampoo/condition her once and see if there is any improvement. If there isn't within a day or two, I suggest you take her to your veterinarian.
I'll give you some links:
About folliculitis: http://www.medi-vet.com/Canine-Pyoderma.html
http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cls=2&cat=1593&articleid=423 (mentioned in the chart)
example of Shampoo: http://www.allivet.com/DermaPet-Benzoyl-Peroxide-Plus-Shampoo-p/26935.htm
example of Conditioner: http://www.calvetsupply.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=373
So, in summary, this could be hives which should improve quickly if you give Benadryl. If it is not changing with the Benadryl, then bathe her with an antibacterial shampoo and soothing conditioner. If this does not help, please take her to your vet as she may need antibiotics.
If this has been helpful, please accept my answer and leave feedback. If you would like more information, just click on reply and I will still be here to provide it.
Best wishes to you and your dog! Fiona
Hey Alexis,
Hmmmm... interesting. Does she seem itchy at all now? I remember you said she wasn't yesterday...
Ok, so the bumps you are describing definitely sound like folliculitis!
And the little pimples with white heads sound exactly like pyoderma.
Basically, they are the same thing, which is a bacterial skin infection. When it is in the hair follicles, it is called folliculitis and makes the hairs stand up straight instead of lying flat, and causes a swelling around the hair follicle, which you see as a bump. When it in a hairless area you see the little pimples.
So, given that it is on 2 locations (on her neck/back and also on her inner thigh) I do think she is going to need a course of antibiotics from your vet. I would schedule an appointment this week to take her in.
Antibiotics not only kill the "bad" bacteria causing skin infections, but also can kill the "good" bacteria in the intestines. This can sometimes lead to diarrhea and decreased appetite. In order to prevent or correct this problem, you could try probiotics like FortiFlora http://www.dogbuffs.com/?p=80 while your girl in on the antibiotics. This has been shown in clinical studies to have positive effects on immune function!!
Often, I do also suggest acidophilus to restore the normal ("good") bacteria to the system. You could either get a supplement (listed below are a couple of the many good options) or you could pick up some low-fat or non-fat ACTIVE CULTURE yogourt at your grocery store. Please check that there are NO artificial sweeteners in it if you go with yogourt. Activia plain sweetened is a great option: http://www.danone.ca/en/products/activia.aspx I would try to get 1/2 of a little container of it into her per day - divided into 2 small portions.
And here are acidophilus supplements:
That normally helps within about 2 or 3 days to get her feeling better if she develops diarrhea. If you give the yogourt right from the beginning of the course of antibiotics, she may never have digestive upset at all.
Skin infections usually need antibiotics given by mouth - often for as long as 4 weeks! It is important to finish all medications even though the problem may appear to be resolved. At a microscopic level, there can still be infection and not finishing the antibiotics may allow this infection to flare-up again some weeks later because it was not completely resolved.
Hope that helps! :-) Fiona
Alexis, I would love to hear how the appointment goes! If you can update me afterwards I would really appreciate it!
:-) Fiona

I want to realistically rest one character on another while the top character can still animate? (to simulate a struggle to get out)
I want to achieve a "struggle" effect where the top character can still punch with his arms and rotate his torso (via my programmed controll system) while the lower player is picking him up "potato sack" style. (bodyweight of the picked up person is resting on the shoulder of the bottom person)
Here are the 2 options I am pondering:
option 1.) Animate a "lifeless/drooping" top character that can blend with other animations like punches/etc... so basically, the top player will be drooping over via animation that can blend with other animations. This is all done with the top player being attached to a a point on the bottom player (shoulder in this case). My main concern with the animation route is player collision. I don't want to have the top player's polygons go through the bottom player's polygons b/c the animations overlap. I have not done animation involving two characters, so maybe the polygonal collision system would stop the animations from going through each other. I may have to research it more if I go this route, but would like to know if its plausible before looking into it further.
option 2.) turn the top player into a ragdoll whose bone is attached to the bone of the bottom player (shoulder bone). I don't know how to get the top player to punch though, as I may have to make 1/2 the body ragdoll and 1/2 the body animated. The reason I thought of going a ragdoll route is that it seems like a good system for a game that involves throws/leverage type of character interaction.
All in all, I have to look at the Newton and 3dgamestudio game engine's abilities. The normal versions of 3dgamestudio don't seem to allow more than one physics entity in a scene at a time, but I'm not sure how that applies to newton, and I'm problably going to get the professional version anyway.
I just wanted to see if any particular method of acheiving this effect jumped out in your mind so I could have some guidance. I will figure out a way of acheiving what I want with this game, but I'll take all the guidance/advice I can get.
aaahhhh I see.
You see what?
did they remove the edit functionality on these forums? Its usually next to the quick reply button on forums using this software.
I believe the edit is only enabled for a half hour, or until someone else posts in reply to you, or something like that. (The idea is to keep people from going back and editing their posts after a bunch of people have responded to it)
ok. Just making sure I wasn't going crazy.

Welcome to my Web site, I hope you enjoy the visit and come back. Your feedback and own thoughts on the content will be appreciated.
The accent in this site is on change. Assuming that we are now in the midst of a major change from a tool-making to a thought-producing society, from a conglomeration of national states to globalization, from social and political theories wrought in a solid four dimensional world conducted by conflicting power vectors to a multidimensional world in a state of flux in which the focus is less on conflict and more on consent, from a cause and effect to probability and so on, it seems that we are moving not only to a new era but also to a new stage in human evolution.
In my articles I have tried to relate to the nature of the change, and adumbrate the shape and configuration of the new construction and the consequences of the changes in social, political and ethical approaches.
My articles and vignettes on Israel deal mainly with the changes at the time of transition from the British mandate to the creation of Israel. I build them around personal experiences, but the accent and the intent is more on describing the general atmosphere at that time of major change.
In the vignette section under the title of The End of the Line I also display the biographies of my father and family from Zionist organization in Poland to Palestine and Israel.

Watch Zach Galifianakis Unwittingly Get the Between Two Ferns Treatment
Here's something I learned today: When Zach Galifianakis does a Between Two Ferns, it's pretty funny because we know it's not real -- even though we try to pretend that it is real. When an actual journalist tries to pull this same stunt, it's sphincter clenchingly awkward -- especially at a press junket.
So, yeah, imagine Galifianakis's surprise when while promoting It's Kind of a Funny Story he was asked questions like, "Compare and contrast this film with all of the other films that have been made," by a reporter from something called Good Morning Texas. When Galifianakis asked Gordon Keith to clarify, the list was cut from all films to The Wizard of Oz, Sling Blade and Lost. Ladies and gentlemen, next time you're thinking, "I wonder why Movieline, or any other outlet for that matter, didn't interview whomever," this is why.

Compressive garments are optional after abdominoplasty.
There is nothing to show that a compressive garment definitely improve the results after in abdominoplasty. I personally ask patients to wear one but a surgeon with a differing opinion would get no strong argument from me.

Compression Garment?
Dear Kerry,
Thank you for your question. I use compression garments in just about everything. I think this controls swelling the best. However, if your surgeon has good great results without using them, then follow his advice.
Best Wishes,
Pablo Prichard, MD
Compression or No Compression
It sounds like he uses some form of a compression garment. He wrapped you up for five days and doesn't allow viewing of the results until after that time. It sounds like he has vast experience with this technique and good results. If you trust his judgment I will I would follow his recommendation.
Best wishes.

No Compression Garment After Tummy Tuck Surgery?
Assuming you are working with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon, who you have selected carefully and who can demonstrate significant experience helping patients achieve the results you are looking for, I would suggest that you allow him to use the "protocol" that works for him.
Best wishes.

Use of a compression garment after an abdominoplasty
Every plastic surgeon will have a different post operative protocol when it comes to the use of compression garments and drains. Trust that your surgeon is individualizing your care and making choices that will get you the best possible result. In the final analysis the compression device may not contribute anything other than patient comfort.
No CG Afterwards?
I have my patients wear a binder until the drains are out. After that they can switch to a compression garment. I like using a compression garment for 4 to 6 weeks. All my stitches are below the skin and I just use steri strips and a lite gauze dressing under the binder. All doctors have different preferences. As long as your doctor showed your pics of his results and you like them, then follow his recommendations.
Compression garments
I do not use compression garments for the first week. i am always concerned that there might be too much pressure on the skin which might cause a healing problem. I use Topifoam and an abdominal binder for the first week. After the patient returns at their 1 week visit, we get them into their compression garment, which they wear for about 6 weeks.
Learn more: http://www.cosmeticsurgerybaltimore.com/
No CG Afterwards?
It sounds like your surgeon prefers an ace bandage or some other form of compression. If you like your surgeon, have good recommendations and photos, I wouldn't change just because his postop care is different.
All the best.

From both stories it would appear that DOJ's search for the source of the leaks extended to subpoenas for telephone records for phones used by Congressional representatives - whose phone conversations (and with whom they speak) might be more sensitive than many other conversations.
The concept that their phone records were examined by DOJ is unlikely to sit well with any number of Congressmen and women. Not only will they likely be no happier than the AP reporters at the prospect, but unlike the reporters the Congressmen likely can do something about it.

A good defensive coach always tells their players: "If you're going to foul the shooter, make sure they don't make the shot." Since Don Nelson is a top-tier chief, we'll just assume Anthony Tolliver tends to snooze off in the fast-break drills. When going up against Amare Stoudemire, you better bring your hardhat, protect your neck and making sure you have some up's is probably best as well.
The facial expressions in the pic are priceless as well. Grant Hill's snickering alludes to memories of his old Sprite® commercials and the long lectures of "don't be that guy" from Stephen Curry's pops are finally making sense to the Rookie of the Year hopeful.

Scholars are still puzzled over the appearance of "Ur of the Chaldeans" in Gen 11:28 and 31. Proposed solutions to the problem have either called it an anachronism or an example of post-Mosaic textual updating, or else they hold that Moses wrote the text just as it stands because he knew about the Chaldeans in his day. This article offers linguistic, genealogical, and historical evidence in supporting the last of these options. Linguistically, "Chaldeans" could be a later spelling of the term Kaśdîm in Gen 11:28, 31, according to this option. This solution is consistent with Moses' knowing the Aramean origins of Abraham and his family as reflected in Gen 10:22; 31:47; and Deut 26:5, but such origins have been issues that have been open to debate. Genealogically, certain connections raise the possibility that the Chaldeans were relatives of Abraham. Historically, the problem is that extrabiblical references to the Chaldeans do not occur until the times of Ashurnasirpal II or III (883-859 B.C.). Yet such is a problem only if one subjugates the early biblical (i.e., Mosaic) references to later secular texts. Secular sources need not have greater authority than the Bible. Extrabiblical evidence itself has some hints that the Chaldeans' rise to power may have preceded the time of Moses. Though it is impossible at this point to resolve the problem fully, the option supported by linguistic, genealogical, and historical evidence best accords with one's adherence to the doctrine of biblical inerrancy.
After being criticized for years because of its "do-nothing passivity," Dispensationalism has most recently received criticism for its undue influence on foreign policies of the United States and England. Timothy P. Weber's case against Dispensationalism relates mostly to the United States, and Stephen Sizer faults the system's impact on both Great Britain and the USA. The land-promise aspect of God's promise to Abraham, a promise repeated frequently throughout the OT, is the crux of the issue for both critics: to whom does the land of Israel belong? Covenant theologians, in line with their view that the church has replaced Israel in the ongoing program of God, deny that the land-promise to Israel is still valid. The approach of New Covenant Theology takes the physical land promise as being fulfilled in the spiritual salvation of God's people. Kingdom Theology takes an "already/not yet" approach to NT teaching about the kingdom, which essentially denies Israel a central role in the future kingdom. Though Progressive Dispensationalism is more "Israelitish" than Kingdom Theology regarding the future kingdom, that system is quite ambivalent on how it sees a fulfillment of the land promise to Israel. Dispensationalism is the only system that takes the land promise in the way that Abraham understood God when He made the promise. It is no wonder then that the USA and Great Britain have been politically favorable to Israel in light of Dispensationalism's indirect influence on their foreign policies. Dispensationalism has also evidenced a largely overlooked social impact in the public square.
Persistent efforts to explain "the Israel of God" in Gal 6:16 as a reference to the church defy overwhelming grammatical, exegetical, and theological evidence that the expression refers to ethnic Israel. Among contemporary interpreters, three views of the phrase's meaning emerge: (1) "The Israel of God" is the church; (2) "The Israel of God" is the remnant of Israelites in the church; and (3) "The Israel of God" is the future redeemed nation. View 1 suffers from the grammatical and syntactical weakness of endorsing the meaning of the Greek particle kai as "namely," a rare usage of that word. Exegetically, View 1 is also weak in choosing to define "Israel" as the church, a usage that appears nowhere else in biblical literature. View 1 also is lacking theologically because the name "Israel" is not applied to the church at any time in history until A.D. 160. Views 2 and 3 coincide grammatically and syntactically, exegetically, and theologically in positive support for those views by taking kai in its frequent continuative or copulative sense and by understanding "Israel" as a reference to ethnic Israel. View 3 shows its exegetical superiority to View 2 through the six points of Peter Richardson, which develop the ethnic nature of "Israel," and by recalling Paul's eschatological outlook for ethnic Israel in Rom 11:26. Theologically, View 3 jibes with Paul's teaching about two kinds of Israelites, the believing ones and the unbelieving ones. Those who persist in advocating View 1 present a classic case in tendentious exegesis.
Some replacement theologians prefer the title "fulfillment theology" in describing their view of Israel's current and future role in relation to the church. Since "supersessionism" is a term that describes both "replacement theology" and "fulfillment theology," that term can be used interchangeably with "replacement" and "fulfillment" terminology in describing various forms which the two theologies may take. Supersessionism is the view that the NT church is the new and/or true Israel that has forever superseded the nation Israel as the people of God. It may take the form of "punitive supersessionism," i.e., God is punishing Israel for her rejection of Christ. Or it may be in the form of "economic supersessionism," i.e., it was God's plan for Israel's role as the people of God to expire with the coming of Christ and be replaced by the church. The final form of supersessionism is "structural supersessionism," i.e., the OT Scriptures are largely indecisive in formulation of Christian conviction about God's work as consummator and redeemer. Strong supersessionists hold that Israel has no future in the plan of God, but moderate supersessionists see a divine plan for the future salvation of the Jews as a group, but not their national restoration to the promised land. This last view holds that Israel is the object of God's irrevocable gift of grace and calling, but that such a role guarantees them no national blessing as the OT promised. It assures them only of becoming part of the church as the people of God.
For decades scholarly consensus has held that Jesus usually spoke the Aramaic language. To evaluate the accuracy of this assumption, one must investigate to learn which language(s) was(were) spoken in Israel during the first century A.D., and whether the sayings of Jesus in the Gospels record the spoken Greek of Jesus or are translations of what He said in Hebrew or Aramaic. Evidence for the use of Aramaic in the areas where Jesus lived and taught is strong, but not necessarily strong enough to exclude His use of other languages. Hebrew was not a dead language after the Babylonian Exile as some have assumed. Documents, inscriptions, and coins have shown the continued use of Hebrew during the time that Jesus was in Israel, particularly in the area of Judea. The fact that the Gospels as well as the rest of the NT were originally written in Greek bolsters the case for a widespread use of Greek in Jesus' time. Specific instances of internal evidence in the NT itself, along with widespread use of the Septuagint in the NT, indicate the trilingual nature of first-century Israel. Indications that are external to the NT also show the use of Greek in Jesus' first-century surroundings. Yet impressive voices question the case for Greek as the language Jesus used. A weighing of the evidence on both sides seems to indicate that Jesus spoke and taught in both Greek and Aramaic, with the degree to which He used each one yet to be clarified by further research on this important subject.
An Issue Devoted to the Doctrine of Penal Substitution
This introductory essay overviews the indispensable theme of Christ's penal substitution on Golgotha's cross. The subject unfolds in two parts; the first section provides background and context for this essential theological truth. The second section reasons that three compelling biblical necessities require a true believer in Jesus Christ to understand scripturally and accept the Savior's penal substitution on behalf of redeemed sinners, especially oneself. The landscape/backdrop for this article provides (1) a definition of "Christ's penal substitution," (2) statements by representative defenders and objectors to this doctrine, and (3) an introduction to subsequent and more focused writings in this issue of TMSJ. Then follows the proposition that Scripture must necessarily be understood as consistently (in both OT and NT) teaching Christ's penal substitution, which rests on three convincing biblical lines of thinking: (1) revelational evidence, (2) lexical evidence, and (3) theological evidence. The writer thus concludes that this teaching is clear, not obscure, thoroughly biblical, not humanly contrived, and essential to personal salvation, not optional.
Theologically and biblically speaking, penal substitution refers to God's gift of His Son to undergo the penalty of death as a substitute for fallen humanity, recent efforts to deny that teaching notwithstanding. The OT offers many examples of cases in which divine judicial action resulted in the deaths of offenders who violated God's standards of righteousness. No clear evidence in the OT that each individual sin required its own sacrifice. In addition, the Levitical system of animal sacrifices required the death of an animal for sin. The Hebrew and the LXX supported by NT citations back up this concept of judicial punishment for sin. Twelve principles governed the offering of OT sacrifices that pertained to the corporate worship of Israel. Several OT texts illustrate penal substitutionary sacrifices in the OT. The first is the Passover of Exodus 12 in which God graciously spared guilty Israelites through the deaths of animals substituted for the firstborn in each household. Another OT text to illustrate penal substitution is Leviticus 16, the institution of the Day of Atonement. The scapegoat symbolized the removal of Israel's sin to allow people to enter the presence of a holy God. The Day of Atonement expiated the nation's sins, cleansed the sanctuary from sin's pollution, and removed sins from the community. Isaiah 52:13–53:12 is a third text to illustrate penal substitution. The suffering servant of the LORD in this section clearly anticipates the Messiah's coming substitutionary death as penalty for His people's sins. The OT sacrificial system clearly laid the basis for penal substitution in awaiting Israel's coming Messiah.
A focused look at 1 Peter regarding the doctrine of penal substitutionary atonement, taking into account 1 Pet 1:2, 18-19; 2:24; 3:18; and 4:1, typifies many NT references to that important teaching. Though 1 Pet 1:2 does not speak of penal atonement, the passage does speak of the death of Christ in language that recalls the language of sacrifice and substitution in the OT. The language of redemption in 1 Pet 1:18-19 includes substitution since the redeeming of one life requires the giving of another life. That passage also includes in its background a penal aspect since the blood of the victim clearly entailed His dying a painful death as a penalty for the sins of others. First Peter 2:24 does provide readers with an example to follow in Christ's suffering, but it does far more. In line with the influence of Isaiah 53 on the passage, it views Christ as a sin bearer and substitute for those whose place He took. It also presents Him as the curse-bearer in bearing punishment for the sins of the people He came to save. In mentioning the sufferings of Christ and the death of the just one for the unjust ones, 1 Pet 3:18 confirms what 1 Peter teaches elsewhere, i.e., the penal substitution of the cross of Christ. Without adding further details but summarizing what Peter has already written, 1 Pet 4:1 adds an explicit reference to the death of Christ. The epistle clearly supports the penal substitutionary nature of the atonement.
Recently, at least since the eighteenth-century liberalism gained a place in Protestantism, the penal-substitution view of Christ's atonement has come under attack. The claim that the doctrine was unknown in the ancient church has emerged along with the idea that such a teaching was invented by the Reformers. The fact that the first thousand years of ancient Christianity frequently espoused the teaching that Jesus suffered death, punishment, and a curse for fallen humanity as the penalty for human sin shows the falsity of such a claim. The fact that early Christians supported other views of the atonement did not exclude the possibility of their supporting penal substitution also. Other views of the atonement include the classic/ransom, the satisfaction, the moral influence, and the governmental theories. Without discussing penal substitution thoroughly, the following church fathers and writings expressed their support for the theory: Ignatius, the Epistle of Barnabas, the Epistle to Diognetus, Justin Martyr, Eusebius of Caesarea, Eusebius of Emesa, Hilary of Poitiers, Athanasius, Basil the Great, Gregory of Nazianzus, Ambrose of Milan, John Chrysostom, Augustine of Hippo, Cyril of Alexandria, Severus of Antioch, and Oecumenius. Martin Luther wrote during the second Christian millennium, but he too endorsed penal substitution. Available writings show clearly that the early church supported a penal-substitution view of Christ's death.
By labeling penal substitution as "redemptive violence," some have rejected the biblical view of the cross of Jesus as substitutionary and penal by claiming that His death was the ultimate example of pacifism. Others want to relegate penal substitution to the category of being only a metaphor of Scripture. Such distortions of the Bible have adverse effects on true Christian worship as a close survey of ritual offerings under the Mosaic Covenant reflect when carried forward into what the NT says about worship. Sacrifice has always been fundamental as a basis for true worship. The OT book of Leviticus devotes itself to explaining how sinful Israelites through sacrifices could make themselves pure in approaching a holy God in their worship. Four of the five offerings described there—the whole burnt offering, the grain offering, the peace offering, and the sin offering—had the purpose of dealing with sin and with guilt. Holiness achieved through sacrifice was paramount in having one's sacrifice acceptable by God and effective in worship. The effective offering was costly to the worshiper and brought him into covenant fellowship with God. In the NT Christ came to be the ultimate sacrifice in fulfillment of all the OT offerings. Beginning with John 1:29, the NT uses sacrificial imagery in a number of places in anticipation of His work on the cross, particularly in His institution of the Lord's Supper. The author of Hebrews in particular portrays Jesus as the perfect atoning sacrifice in fulfillment of the OT system of sacrificial worship. Christian worship without the doctrine of penal substitution is impossible.

i was injured 20 years ago in my face. my cheek is flat and there is a slight drop under my eye. can this be repaired with implants or some type of augmentation and will my cheek look like normal again?
Cheek and Orbital Repair Following Injury
Doctor Answers 1
Facial asymmetry
Your photos show diminished soft tissue under the skin on the left cheek comared to the right cheek. It is unclear from the photos how asymmetric the bones themselves are. Moving the bone if it is in fact retruded on the left is a large operation. You might get by with just free fat grafting to the left side but that would depend on the findings at a face to face physical examination with a qualified surgeon. While just augmenting the soft tissue may give you significant improvement just moving the bone outward will not change the soft tissue deficit.
I hope you realize that this format of posting questions and receiving answers lacks the face to face direct communication required for you to make an informed decision regarding your surgery.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.

Joey McIntyre Tweets Picture of New Daughter
For fans who remember the days when a too-young-to-shave Joey McIntyre was the littlest New Kid on the Block, it might hardly seem possible that he's a father — but McIntyre and his wife, Barrett, added a new member to their growing brood on May 31, and he used Twitter to share a snapshot over the weekend.
Introducing fans and followers to little Kira Katherine McIntyre with a "Happy Father's Day : ) xoxo," he went on to describe his new daughter as "a beautiful baby girl with great timing and gorgeous hair."
Clarence Clemons, E Street Band Saxophonist, Dead at 69
Six days after suffering a massive stroke, saxophone legend and longtime E Street Band member Clarence Clemons has died at the age of 69.
Despite initial reports that Clemons was responding well to treatment – and despite a pair of brain surgeries to repair the damage wrought by the stroke – his condition worsened as the week wore on, and he died on Saturday, June 18.
Scotty McCreery Sings 'I Love You This Big' on 'The Tonight Show'
He isn't even 18 yet, but Scotty McCreery has already won 'American Idol' and scored a hit single. Now, he can add a 'Tonight Show' appearance to his steadily growing list of accomplishments.
McCreery visited the show on June 15, performing his debut single, 'I Love You This Big,' accompanied by a trio of background singers. With the song rising the charts following his 'Idol' victory, McCreery is in full-on media blitz mode, and he's probably approaching the point where he could sing the song in his sleep, but he turned in a rousing performance before an appreciative studio audience.

I am 6 feet tall, 150 lbs, but have slender upper body. I went for a consult today expecting the dr would recommend an impkant in the range of 550-600cc. Instead he suggested 700-800! Does that seem excessive or would it look normal because of my height?
Implant Size for Tall Women
Doctor Answers 21
The Perfect Implant Size
There isn't a correct size for every patient. What looks right to you will not necessarily look right to the next patient, even if her height and weight are the same as yours. Your surgeon should be able to give you some insight into what range of sizes would fit you without causing an obvious "augmented" look, but only you can decide what looks right to you. Your surgeon may be able to provide you with some sizers to try out.
Breast Implant Size Should Be Proportionate Regardless Of Height
While the selection of breast implant size in breast augmentation is a personal one, there are several considerations in helping choose a good size for all women regardless of height and weight. One of the most important considerations is the patient's natural breast diameter or width of their breast. In general, most women do not want augmented breasts that go too far to the side or are wider in diameter than their own breasts. Therefore, matching the diameter of an implant to the patient's breast width will almost never create a breast size that is too big. At 6 feet tall and only weighing 150 lbs, it is very likely that the width of a 700 or 800cc breast implant will be too big for your natural breast width...and thus may be oversized for you.

The "right" implants for your body type
I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients:
1.Dimensional planning
2.Gel Implant Sizing system
Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. Even your fitness levels and other relevant criteria are taken into consideration. It is you who will decide what you are comfortable with.
Gel Implant Sizing system – During the preliminary breast implant consultation, you will be provided with an option to "try on" a variety of implant shapes and sizes. You can also visualize the possible outcomes of your surgery which helps you to get that perfect size to give you the shape that you longed for.
This way your preferences are known and we can then pick a range of implants that will "fit" just right to give a soft natural fuller look.

Implant Selection Process
Generally speaking,larger implants increase the risk of complications such as implant malposition, which can be very difficult to correct longterm. In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements and characteristics. Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective criteria to implant selection.
Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit your chest wall and reach your desired goals.
The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you.
I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.

Implant sizing and body types
There are certainly a number of conflicting opinions about breast size and body types. My approach to sizing implants is to suggest a size that balances a woman's figure from a proportion standpoint and then let them try on different size implants to determine how they really want to look. Having a surgeon pick an implant without the patient trying it on seems to me like buying a car without first driving it. If you are six feet tall and only weigh 150lbs I would think a 700-800cc implant would be a bit big. However, not having a picture to see what your breasts actually look like makes it is impossible to be more specific.

How big is too big
6 foot is tall, but it's not that tall. That size sounds incredibly large. Unless you asked your plastic surgeon for implants that will look like a coconut split in half and placed on your chest, that's not a good choice. You have to remember that your tissues will need to support this implant for the rest of your life. Many patients come in asking me for a fake and unnatural result. If that is your priority and all that you care about, the sky is the limit on size (up to about 880cc).
Best of luck

Breast augmentation
It is difficult to say without any photos; however, it seems a bit too large, from my perspective. You may be tall, but your weight does not seem to be too much for your height, hence, you may not have much breast tissue which would make a large implant not the best choice.
Implant Size Is One Factor
Without a physical examination it's hard to second guess implant volume recommendations. That said, it might be good for you to know that the volumes of the breast implants are measured in CCs and that 30cc = 1oz. The most popular implant size is 300ccs (or 10oz). As Dr. Casper mentioned, you can get a rough idea of how big you might look by placing the desired volume in a freezer bag and placing it in the lower part of your bra.
Although implant volume (cc's) is important, the shape of the implant is just as important. Implant shape has two components. One is the base, or how much space the implant occupies on the chest wall. The other is projection, or how much the implant stands out from the chest wall.
Your board certified plastic surgeon should have various breast implant samples so that you can try on the implants to get a better idea of how various volumes and profiles will look on you. Implant size and profile are not things you want to try and guess! If you don't feel comfortable with your current doctor's recommendations, seek another opinion. You should have the opportunity to select the breast implant that will give you the look you want.
You'll also want to consider the type of implant, the location of the incision, and other factors. See me discuss the things you need to consider before breast augmentation surgery in the video.

Implant Size for Tall Women
A posted photo would be extremely helpful. Otherwise a 700 cc could be the correct size. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl j. Blinski
Best implant size for a tall slender woman.
I have answered a similar question for another woman; my answer can be found under my profile by clicking on breast implants and reviewing the answer to the question "Breast Implant Sizes.".
Please realize that the 550-600cc implant size you anticipated is only 100-200cc different from what your consulting doctor recommended. Perhaps he is way off base and not even American Board of Plastic Surgery certified; perhaps he is properly-board-certified, well-trained, experienced, and is recommending 3-6 ounces more enlargement per side than you anticipated. (This amount is 1/4 to 1/2 of a can of soda! Put 3 ounces of water in a bowl and ask yourself if you think you could see a difference in breast size if that amount were added to your present size--or your "perfect" size. Do the same with 6 ounces. You'll see that it's either "not too much" or "too much."
Particularly with under-the-muscle placement, I typically add 100cc to whatever the patient chooses (when they choose 600cc; for a choice of 300cc, I might add about 50cc) in order to achieve the "look" the patient wants when sizing with implants in a bra. Sizing in a brassiere is entirely different than what a patient experiences when the implants are entirely covered by muscular tissue! I know this from multiple patients who chose a specific size, after which I dutifully placed exactly-the-requested-size in the operating room, only to have them react with "You put in the wrong ones--they're too small!" in the recovery room or the next-day recheck! So I quickly learned to add a sliding scale "fudge factor" that makes more patients feel I got it "right on."
The issue is further complicated by the fact that implants come in not only multiple volumes, but also three different profiles--moderate, moderate plus, and high profile. The differences are: narrower base width and greater height (projection) for the high profile implant, compared to wider base and lower height (projection) for the moderate profile implant. (Moderate plus is in-between). I choose profile based on patient measurements, requests, and anatomy. Your own anticipated implant choice may have included these variables, but not the 25 years of experience and the thousands of breast augmentation patients I have discussed this very issue with at length. And I still don't ALWAYS get it right; but since I don't charge a surgeon's fee for a revision (and the patient has to pay for the new implants, OR, and anesthesia), neither I nor my patients want to do that very often! Either I learn or I my practice doesn't thrive.
To sum up, 700-800cc may be a tad too much, or it might be spot on! Did you bring photos of what you consider to be breast sizes you find attractive to your consultation? Is your doctor American Board of Plastic Surgery certified? Does he have years of experience? Does he do primarily breast surgery? cosmetic surgery? reconstructive surgery? Or is he a Dermatologist or (facial) plastic surgeon?
You are wise to ask these questions now. Try on implants in a bra and stretch top when sizing, and DON'T look at the numbers. Ask the doctor if he or she has their own "fudge factor" or if they put in exactly what you choose. Ask what their redo policy is and who pays for what. I've written more on this topic, and you can find before and after breast photographs on our website photo gallery with the patient data and (accurate) implant sizes and profiles. I hope this helps you! Best wishes!

With six galleries, theres always something eye-catching and thought-provoking at MCA Denver, and tonight the museum will unveil two exhibits at the same time.
On the first floor, in the Photography Gallery, is Kevin OConnell, a show curated by former MCA staffer John Grant. OConnell is a well-known Colorado photographer who for the past twenty years has focused on the local landscape. In this new group of large color photos, OConnell focuses on the states energy industry, placing utilitarian structures at the center of his views of nature. (Additional images from this same series are currently on display in another OConnell solo at Robischon Gallery.)
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Also opening is Arlene Shechet, on view in the second-floor Paper Works Gallery. This solo was already in the MCA pipeline before Adam Lerner came on as director a few months ago, and with no other curatorial help left on staff, he took on the organization of it himself. In these works, Shechet, a New Yorker, has cast paper on the surface of water and then infused it with references to the landscape in natural colors, predominantly blues and browns.
A members-only preview gets under way at 6 p.m. at MCA Denver, 1485 Delgany Street, and the reception opens to the public from 7 to 9 p.m. For details, call 303-298-7554 or go to www.mcadenver.org.

Alzheimer's Disease
Weird Actions and Alzheimer's Disease
My father has Alzheimer's Disease. He recently started chewing on coins. He claims he`s done it for years but I know he has not. Besides being nasty, will they hurt him? I`m wondering about the metal they`re made of.
Alzheimer's patients can exhibit a wide range of behaviors, including behaviors that can put the person at a safety risk. My initial concern regarding the chewing on the coins is the choking risk that your father has, and the possibility that he may accidentally swallow the coins and have difficulty passing the coins through his intestinal system, or break a tooth. Therefore, I would recommend going through his environment and removing the coins and any other items that might impose a safety hazard (ex. chemical toxins).
After the coins are removed from your father's environment, if he continues to be searching for coins or other objects to chew on, I would discuss this behavior with the doctor managing his Alzheimer's disease and have the doctor consider using a behavioral medication to address the hyper oral and/or repetitive behavior.
I would also look at ways to keep your father busy, as often an Alzheimer's patient can be bored and need more structured stimulation. Resources like adult day care, in-home respite providers, and the activity programs in the nursing facilities can provide opportunities for this stimulation.

Although it's produced many different arthouse projects (including the great drama "Wendy & Lucy") tiny Glass Eye Pix has made its biggest
impression in the horror genre, and by doing something radical.
It's gone traditional.
Chainsaw-wielding maniacs, vivisecting sadists – they don't have a big place in their movies. What the company does make room for are Hammer-ish period pieces ("I Sell the Dead") and even, occasionally, poetic Val-Lewtonish style ("The Wendigo").
It doesn't always work, but it's certainly refreshing and, on these miniature budgets, extremely impressive.
"The Innkeepers" is their latest, directed by emerging horror auteur Ti West, who sticks to the tricks he tried in his last film for Glass Eye, the `70s-inspired, eerily effective "House of the Devil."
There's an attractive young woman in peril. There's a strange noise at the end of long, empty hallway. Curious, she slowly walks down to investigate. And walks. And walks. Until…
It's not exactly a new technique, but it worked well there. The heroine was alone, and the pacing was so deliberate, the slowness itself became scary. By ignoring the usual rapid-fire edits of modern horror films, West kept audiences perpetually offbalance.
Unfortunately, it's less successful in "The Innkeepers." Once again we've got spooky noises late at night, but this time the young woman, the maid in a haunted hotel, has company – a geeky desk clerk and a couple of guests. The setting doesn't have the first film's quiet-as-the-grave solitude, and the gimmick has lost its novelty.
Add to that an even sketchier plot, and a nearly glacial schedule of scares – we're a good hour into the film before we get anything much more than ghostly piano tinklings and a few rustlings in the basement – and it's easy to feel a bit ripped off.
The film has a nice score by Jeff Grace, and West is still skilled at those long tracking shots up to mysteriously locked doors or padlocked cellars. Sara Paxton is sweet as the obligatory scream queen, and Collingswood's Kelly McGillis – who was also in the studio's "Stakeland" – adds some dignity to things as a mysterious guest.
But when the shocks do come, they're too little to really reward the time required to get to them. "The Innkeepers" may have some of the retro charm of a boardwalk spookshow. But the ride is too long – and too few of the attractions seem to be up and running.
Ratings note: The film contains violence and strong language.
'The Innkeepers' (R) Magnet (100 min.)
Directed by Ti West. With Sarah Paxton, Kelly McGillis. Now playing in New York.

Business not as usual in violence-prone Old City
By Yunus Lasania | Published: 17th December 2012 10:39 AM |
Last Updated: 17th December 2012 10:39 AM | A+A A- |
Though citizens of the old city heaved a sigh of relief with last Friday having passed off peacefully, traders and shop owners are facing repercussions of the violence that took place near Charminar over the last few weeks.
With business severely hit and several shops running in losses, many daily wage workers are deserting their workplace to look for employment in other parts of the city such as Abids and Secunderabad.
"The customer base is undergoing a change. Many of them are now going to Abids or Secunderabad for shopping. And, for us, working in such a market will be rewarding," says Aslam bin Ahmed, who works at Grand Shoes store at Pathergatti.
"I am the breadwinner for my family as my father cannot work. The Rs 300 I earn daily is all what our family gets. After next week, I will work at a cloth store in Secunderabad," says Mohammed Qasim, another daily wage worker at Pathergatti.
Mohd Ali, who runs Nizam Shahi Libas, agrees that disturbances in the old city have affected the business which, in turn, affected employees and workers. "There was no business for eight days at a stretch, and a week or two before that. And one who has to earn every day can't afford to stay at such violence-prone place," Ali explains.
Abid Mohiuddin, managing director of Maqdoom Brothers at Pathergatti, said: "This year violence struck this part of the city twice, first during Diwali and now during wedding season, which has dented my business. Business here is divided into four quarters of the year and we have lost one entire quarter due to disturbances," he rues.
"Sometimes, whenever such disturbances take place, workers take money from us to feed their families as they know there will be no business. Only those who have been working for decades are paid since they are loyal. But new workers are not so lucky, so they leave," points out Farooq Ibrahim, who owns Farooq Footwear at Nayapul.
Aslam bin Ahmed adds to his observation that workers in other areas of the city are paid more. "I have 19 years of experience as a worker. Anyone having such long experience is paid about Rs 400 a day by establishments in Abids and Secunderabad. In the old city we are paid a paltry Rs 200, on an average, which hardly sufficient to make a decent living in these hard times,'' he says.
Qasim concurs with the observation, justifying his decision to look for greener pastures beyond Musi river which divides the old and new cities.

Six of the Best: Cultural highlights not to miss this week
PUBLISHED: 08:32 07 May 2014 | UPDATED: 08:32 07 May 2014
Cylla von Tiedemann
The Two Worlds of Charlie F, an astonishing piece of drama about the recovery process for injured soldiers, featuring soldiers themselves, pop-reggae legend Billy Ocean, a production of comic opera HMS Pinafore, commemorative exhibition of painter Jenny Creasy and heavily tipped new music star Rae Morris. SIMON PARKIN picks six cultural highlights not to miss this week.
The Two Worlds of Charlie F
Norwich Theatre Royal, May 6-10, 7.30pm, 2.30pm May 8/10, £23-£5.50, 01603 630000, www.theatreroyalnorwich.co.uk
Royal Marine Cassidy Little has lost none of his sense of humour, even though he has achieved one of his ultimate goals relatively late in life. Surprising really but then he is no ordinary man. "I joined the Marines because of a bet 10 years ago," Cassidy says. That bet changed his life forever. In 2011 he suffered extensive injuries when serving in Afghanistan, including losing his leg. However, while undergoing an intensive rehab programme, the opportunity arrived to become an actor — a childhood ambition of his. Next week he will be at Norwich Theatre Royal where he will be performing in The Two Worlds of Charlie F, an astonishing piece of drama about the recovery process for injured soldiers. The cast is bolstered by professional actors who gave tips to the soldiers. The servicemen, in turn, relayed their own experiences of being on the frontline to the actors.
HMS Pinafore
Maddermarket Theatre, Norwich, May 7-10, 7.30pm, 2.30pm May 10, £12, 01603 620917, www.maddermarket.co.uk
The East Norfolk Operatic Society present the hilarious operetta from Gilbert and Sullivan, that takes place aboard the British ship H.M.S. Pinafore where a navy captain's daughter, Josephine, falls in love with a lower-class sailor instead of her father's choice, the First Lord of the Admiralty, Sir Joseph Porter. It is a charming story, filled with memorable music and a surprise twist. The second act also includes the short comic opera Trial By Jury concerning a "breach of promise of marriage" lawsuit in which the judge and legal system are the objects of light-hearted satire.
Matteo Raggi Quartet
Lakeside Country Club, Quarry Lane, Lyng, May 7, 8pm, £10, 01362696741, www.lakeside-jazz.com
Based in Bologna, Matteo Raggi is a lyrical master of the jazz tenor saxophone. He performs all over Europe and in the USA. Appearing regularly with American tenor sax legend, Scott Hamilton, it was in Scott's company that Norfolk fans first heard Matteo on stage at the Lakeside Jazz Club. Expect some driving, accessible jazz with standards to the fore. The band includes pianist Simon Brown, bassist Ivars Galenieks and Brian McAllister on drums.
Jenny Creasy (1941-2010)
Mandells Gallery, Elm Hill, Norwich, May 4-24, Mon-Sat 10am-5pm, free admission, 01603 626892, www.mandellsgallery.co.uk
A commemorative exhibition of Suffolk painter Jenny Creasy's work that includes early figurative work from the 1960s and later colourful large-scale abstract paintings. This exhibition reminds us how grateful we are that Creasy became an East Anglian rather than a London or Cornish painter. She went to Ealing Art School at the early age of 15. In the 1960s Ealing was independent and open to joint ventures between students and tutors who were often only a decade older than the young artists they encouraged. The leading painters when Creasy came of age were often associated with artistic groups in Newlyn and St Ives. However she came to live in north Suffolk in 1982. During the next quarter of a century Creasy was an artist of private thoughts, untroubled exploration and hard-won contentment.
Rae Morris
Open, Bank Plain, Norwich, May 7, 7pm, £7, 01603 508050, www.ueaticketbookings.co.uk
Embarking on a career in music it helps if, like Rae Morris, you have mates like Charlie Fink from Noah & The Whale and Ben Garrett (aka Fryars), who produced her first two EP. Another close friend and sounding board is Jack Steadman of Bombay Bicycle Club. She has just finished supporting the band on their UK tour and features on three tracks from their No 1 album So Long See You Tomorrow. However the Blackpool singer here steps out alone debuting material from her forthcoming proper solo debut, on which she has been working with LA's Ariel Rechtshaid, who's become something of a producer du temps by working with acts as diverse as Haim, Usher and Vampire Weekend.
England Away
Norwich Arts Centre, May 8, 8pm, £12 (£8 cons), 01603 660352, www.norwichartscentre.co.uk
This latest production from The Future is Unwritten mixes drama and comedy to delve into themes of passion, patriotism and 'Englishness' through three distinct scenarios. The story begins in 2001 as four very different England fans are thrown together in Germany the night before that astonishing 5-1 victory for England. Jump back to 1944 and two men argue and dream about the land they have been fighting for on their way home from Germany, contemplating their hopes and fears for a new England. The action is intercut with comedy routines from stand-up Eddy Brimson, punctuating scenes with provocative and hard-hitting material about football culture.

Debunking megachurch myths, especially the one about sheep swapping – Ed Stetzer
Ed Stetzer outlines the 9 big myths about megachurches, including 'all megachurches are alike', 'megachurches water down the faith' and that 'megachurches steal sheep'. Read full blog here.
Bloody Facebook – Macarisms
The blogger was quite frustrated with the number of Facebook arguments coming about from John Dickson's appearance on ABC's Q&A: "When it comes to conflict, public Facebook is hopeless. Private messages and email at least constrain it between the people involved – until one, accidently or even deliberately, passes it on. Phone calls make it a bit more personal, especially if you're willing to listen and not simply accuse. You can hear tone of voice, clarify, ask questions. Perhaps, skype can make things more personal still. But there's no real substitute for meeting face-to-face, in-the-flesh. This is where disagreements are to be worked through." Read full blog here.
The generation gap among Christian women – Her.Meneutics
"How did there come to be such a divide between older and younger women in the church? How is it that today's generation of Christian women are more likely to list a celebrity like Angelina Jolie as their hero rather than a mentor, leader, or female friend in their own congregation? We, as Christian women over 40, have some work to do. The work I am referring to is about our call in building a close relationship with our younger sisters in Christ. We are being called to understand, learn, and listen to this next generation. Our authentic response will help more than we realize." Read full blog here.

With just a few more weeks of classes left before the end of the school year, is it a good idea for your teenager to be considering a summer job?
"That first summer job is often a rite of passage for many teens," said Janet Fowler writer for Investopedia and author of Business Resources for High School Students. "It's the signal that they're on the way to adulthood by earning money to pay for activities, interests or to stash away for post-secondary schooling."
According to Fowler the type of summer job any teen opts for should be based upon their current and desired skill sets and on his or her ultimate career goals, thus proving that it's never too early to start considering the future.
However Erin Joyce, owner of E3 Writing Services for personal finance and lifestyle blogs, states that first you need to consider the vital statistics of the potential job. "What are the hours of the job and how will your teen be getting there? Do they have access to a car or will it need to be within walking or transit distance," she explains.
Next, think about the actual work they'll be doing. Is it something they'd enjoy, or can they tolerate it for a summer? "It's also important to think about the job beyond the summer as it could lead to a part-time job throughout the school year," adds Joyce.
Joyce also states there's one more step a teen needs to do before looking for a summer job: develop a resume. Even with so many companies accepting only online applications, having a resume is often required and critical to have on hand at that first interview.
Yet, that can be difficult for anyone applying for their first job. "Teens have their own set of challenges when it comes to resumes as they may not have much experience to rely on, so be sure to include any volunteer work, relevant activities, awards or courses they've taken even if they haven't finished the program," said Joyce.
Then it's time to start the search. If you're a college student, your student center likely has resources in-person or online for summer jobs. These are great places to start because companies or individuals have already come to the school, so you know they are willing to hire students.
There are several websites that are not only devoted to helping teens find hourly work or student-specific employment in Massachusetts, they also have the link necessary for submitting an application or resume.
Employment YouthWorks (https://www.massyouthemployment.org) is a state-funded youth jobs program that provides funds to pay wages to youth for summer jobs in the public, non-profit, and private sectors. The primary component of the YouthWorks program is subsidized employment for eligible youth. Participants are typically employed part-time during the summer or year round. Participation in this program is limited to eligible youth aged 14–21 in selected (Worcester area) towns and cities in Massachusetts.
A Google search for companies hiring teens in Massachusetts provided some of the following websites: (Snagajob.com) www.snagajob.com/job-search/w-ma/q-teen ; (Hireteen.com has a list of 98 Massachusetts companies offering teen employment.) www.hireteen.com/location/massachusetts ; (GrooveJob.com) http://www.groovejob.com/browse/jobs/in/MA/Massachusetts/. United Way of Central Massachusetts is also offering volunteer opportunities in the greater Worcester area at: http://www.unitedwaycm.org/index.php/news/story/parents_looking_to_get_your_youth_active_in_volunteering_this_summer/.
"Don't keep it a secret, the last thing you should do when job hunting is be quiet about it," said Joyce. Make use of the network of people you and your teen is already connected to. And don't forget to look at all the options including making money this summer with developing their own business.
But most important, with teens as well as adults, don't get discouraged. Your teen may be competing with college kids who have already finished school for the summer and are older with more experience and able to work longer before school starts again.
Finding summer work can be a bit of a chore, but it will be worth it when they have a bit of money in their pocket when school starts up again in September.
Now let's get back to Janet Fowler and a of list possible jobs.
Camp Counselor – Is your teen interested in leadership? Janet Fowler states that if your teen is a natural leader or educator, a summer job as a camp counselor is an ideal pick. "This job will allow older teens to spend time outdoors, mentor younger kids and help them to develop new skills," she said. "A great perk of this job, aside from being paid to spend plenty of time outdoors, is that you will be developing loads of transferable skills that will be useful throughout life, such as leadership abilities, communication and conflict resolution skills."
Golf Caddy – Perfect for teens that enjoy spending time in the great outdoors, caddying can be a great choice of summer job. This job does require an understanding of the game and some physical endurance, as there is a lot of walking involved as well as carrying a weighty bag of golf clubs.
Retail Sales – Perhaps one of the more plentiful and diverse job options for teens, retail sales offers a great deal of opportunity for teens that are looking for work. This type of work can pay anywhere in the range of $8 to $10 an hour depending upon the duties involved. Inventory, stocking shelves, product demonstrations, handing out samples in grocery stores or customer service. This type of work can be great for teens that are particularly sociable, as they will often have to interact with the public in addition to working as a part of a team.
Food Service – As in retail sales, these seem to be the more plentiful positions available year-round. "Here's an opportunity to develop social skills while earning an income. A job in the food service industry is a natural fit for sociable teens who enjoy interacting with the public. This job allows employees to work as a part of a team while learning about following instructions and conflict resolution. Many restaurants also allow their staff to earn tips. Keep in mind that food service jobs are not only limited to wait staff either. There are also jobs available as hosts or hostesses, busboys or busgirls, and cooks. Regardless of the position, the team needs to function properly in order to keep the business moving, so teens will learn valuable life skills in this type of job.
Internships – This presents an ideal option for teens who are already on course toward a particular career. This will assist with gaining real industry experience that'll look great on a resume. Even though many of these types of positions are unpaid, the experience that can be gained from completing an internship could be priceless when you consider the professional experience that can be gained. Teens can locate internship opportunities through their high school guidance counselors, or by being bold and approaching their target companies directly.
Life Guard – Although a great choice for teens who are strong swimmers, life guarding can be a challenging position that comes with a fair share of responsibility. Taking the required courses necessary for certification can also be problematic with the national average of American Red Cross Aquatic classes being $250-$500. Completion of certification courses is required to be a life guard and is typically limited to those who are over the age of 15, so a bit of pre-planning will definitely be required if this type of job appeals. This job requires a high level of maturity and professionalism, but it is a rewarding job that can help teens to develop their decision-making skills and confidence.
Babysitter or Nanny –Teens with a nurturing spirit who enjoy children could consider taking on a summer job as a babysitter or nanny, a position which is in high demand during the summer months when working parents need to secure childcare for their young children. This job requires someone who is highly responsible and can resolve conflicts. Though this job can pay reasonably well, generally in the range of $7 to $12 dollars hourly, it can also require a great deal of patience. This is a great choice for teens who wish to pursue a career in teaching, child care, social work or any other field that makes use of social skills or requires interaction with kids.
Housekeeping – Though teenagers may be often viewed as having a difficult time keeping their bedrooms clean, there are some teens that do well in the housekeeping field. This type of work can bring in about $10 an hour and will allow teens to learn responsibility and develop their organizational skills. This job is also in demand in a variety of industries and settings.
Landscaping – Whether you join a landscaping business, or set out to offer your landscaping or lawn care services yourself, this seasonal job is a great choice for teens who love to spend time outdoors. Since many people don't have time to care for their lawns, this job is often in high-demand through the summer months.
Tutoring – Teens who are particularly bookish or aspire to work as a teacher might enjoy spending their summer months tutoring. Kids who are in summer school often need the extra help, and this presents a real opportunity for teens who are particularly talented in certain subject areas. Tutors who are proficient with computers could also teach adults computer skills. Teens who opt to take on a job as a tutor can earn about $15 an hour when they first start out, though this rate can increase depending upon their skills and experience.
CEO of their own business – "Summer jobs for kids are in big demand now that classes are out and summer looms ahead," said Sarah Cook, Founder of Raising CEO Kids and webhost of 50 Ideas, Tips and Strategies for Kids to do this Summer to Make Money.
However, Cook cautions parents to let your child's business be just that. "A summer job should be fun and the kids should be happy to be doing what they're doing, happy to be making money and growing their business." Cook also warns that if it becomes tedious or they want to quit, find out why and help them problem-solve. "However, be careful not to try to rule their business or punish them for not running their business. Your job as parent is to coach, mentor and be on the advisory board this will empower them and help grow their self-confidence and sense of competence."
According to Cook, hundreds of kids start businesses every year and many of them have their dreams extinguished by well-meaning parents. "But the benefits of business ownership far outweigh the fear of risk that often stands in the way of a parent's support," said Cook.
For more information about summer jobs for kids and helping your child become an entrepreneur, go to http://www.raisingceokids.com.
Here are a few ideas from Cook's website: lawn or yard care; car washing or detailing; window washer; appliance cleaning; pet care; web designer; tutoring; mother's helper; personal shopper; offering story time for young children; artist selling homemade crafts and jewelry; garage sale assistant; photographer; and organizer.
How to choose which summer jobs for kids are right for yours? Cook suggests you pick the top two ideas and do some research. "Work together but have your child take action with picking a business name, making a simple business plan and checking for information," said Cook. However, the parent also needs to get involved and do a Google or trademark search before opting to use the business name and don't forget to identify costs, possible taxes, licenses, insurance, legal possibilities, etc.
Finding the perfect summer job will require planning. A parent and teen should examine the opportunities that are readily available and consider what your child or teen hopes to get out of the position. Working as a landscaper isn't much fun if they hate getting dirty, while being a babysitter won't bring much joy if they don't like kids. Keep in mind that many summer jobs provide workers with transferable skills that come in handy later on in a career, so there are plenty of reasons why it's a wise idea to start building up their resume while they're still in school – and earning a little extra spending cash never hurt anyone either.
