"Of the three samples we orderd for holiday cards this year, this is the card we selected. After years of sending more traditional cards, this one has a fresh, artistic look and the paper has a pleasing texture and finish."
"This is a very nice card made with a quality cardstock. Be aware that the color is not a bright red - it's more of a brck red. We approved our proof on 11/8/12 (we put our company logo on the front and our names were printed on the back) and we received our order of 400 cards on 11/15/12 - FANTASTIC service! This is our fourth year ordering from Tiny Prints."
"I just picked these up from Costco today and they look great....even better than I had anticipated. We're a tech company so this card is just perfect for us. I highly recommend them! Thanks!"
"What I love best about this calendar is that it isn't holiday specific and looks great all year long. I've replaced holiday cards with this as a HAPPY NEW YEAR card that keeps my name in front of clients the whole year. IT'S A HIT in the financial sector where I work b/c it doesn't look like anything else! And, the card stock is of great quality. Tiny Prints graphics helped me to customize it too."
"We were very impressed with the paper quality and color vibrancy. Our logo came out very nicely as well. Crisp, clean, and colorful - it was perfect for our corporate holiday card. Also, customer service was very helpful in allowing us to make two versions of the same card to target different client groups."

Hey there DonL,
I took the fan down today and it appears to be wired correctly. Check the voltage and it is coming in at 120. So we are good there. So this leads me to believe that the capacitor may be the culprit now. Only problem is I'm not which one is the capacitor. There are two back box things connected to the fan chain. I am attaching a picture. Now when I figure out what size it is do I get the same size or get a bigger one? I have not checked the other fans yet because I don't know what to look at. Thanks for you help again.

On Sunday night, WWE presents Elimination Chamber. This is the final pay-per-view event before WrestleMania XXIX and this show will determine the participants in the world championship matches at that show. Because of the implications this show will have on WrestleMania XXIX, in addition to giving you my predictions for this show, I'm also going to predict what matches will be taking place in a few weeks at MetLife Stadium. As is always the case, I would love to hear what you think will be happening but I just ask that you help me keep the site non-spoiler and refrain from commenting about anything that will be happening on SmackDown until that show airs on Friday night.
Pre-show Match: Brodus Clay & Tensai vs. Team Rhodes Scholars (Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow) - Team Rhodes Scholars amicably broke up a few weeks ago but find themselves reunited again to take on WWE's latest comedy tag team. Three weeks ago, I thought that Rhodes Scholars would win the tag team titles from Kane and Daniel Bryan. I think I was a little to early with that prediction. I'm picking Team Rhodes Scholars to win this match because I think the winner will get a crack at the tag team titles. Then on a future episode of RAW, I see them winning the belts when Team Hell No finally implodes. Predicted Winners: Team Rhodes Scholars
Divas Championship: Champion Kaitlyn vs. Tamina Snuka - The Divas division is in total shambles right now and is the worst I have seen it since it was resurrected during the Attitude Era. The best thing going for it is that we will probably get to see some Trish Stratus highlights over the course of the next few weeks to build up anticipation for her induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. Predicted Winner: Kaitlyn
United States Championship: Champion Antonio Cesaro vs. The Miz - Just as I jumped the gun with my Royal Rumble predictions for Team Rhodes Scholars, I think I did the same for The Miz also. Since I still feel the same about the outcome of this match, I'm just going to copy what I wrote three weeks ago.
"I think that there are two factors working against the champion in this match. One is that a wrestler with a similar gimmick (evil foreign guy from Europe) is holding the Intercontinental Championship. The other is that between now and WrestleMania XXIX, WWE Studios will be releasing The Marine 3 which The Miz will be starring in. As the company will be promoting both of these ventures over the next few weeks, it just makes more sense for The Miz to be doing the media rounds while in physical possession of a championship belt which features the stars and stripes on it."Predicted Winner: The Miz
World Heavyweight Championship: Champion Alberto Del Rio vs. Big Show - Since WWE seems gun ho on giving up rematches from three weeks ago, I'm just going to give a repeat of the same thing I wrote three weeks ago because my opinion is still the same.
"Looking back at the WWE history of Big Show, it seems that all of his World Championship victories have occurred in the second-half of the year and none of his title reigns have lasted until the second week of the following year. I don't see any reason for that trend to stop this year. Alberto Del Rio is potentially a superstar the company can feature as a true main event talent for several years. However, in order for him to be perceived as a legitimate main event star, he will need some impressive title defenses on his resume. I'm picking him to get one here."Predicted Winner: Alberto Del Rio
Elimination Chamber Match: Randy Orton vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Chris Jericho vs. Mark Henry vs. Kane vs. Jack Swagger - The winner of this match will be getting a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XIX. As I previously stated, Alberto Del Rio will need some pretty impressive title defenses on his resume to be perceived as a legitimate main event star. A victory over Randy Orton at the biggest show of the year will do that. As a babyface, Randy Orton's act is getting stale. He is naturally geared towards being a great heel and it seems that he has been stuck in a never-ending feud with Wade Barrett every few months as WWE can't decide what to do with him. Predicted Winners: Randy Orton
John Cena, Sheamus & Ryback vs. The Shield (Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose) - By virtue of winning The Royal Rumble Match three weeks ago, John Cena will be the challenger for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania XXIX. I'm picking John to get the win for his team here as he builds up some more momentum on The Road to WrestleMania. Predicted Winners: John Cena, Sheamus & Ryback
WWE Championship: Champion The Rock vs. CM Punk - On Monday night, it was announced that The Rock will lose the title if he is counted out or disqualified. I see a very similar ending to the match that happened between the two men three weeks ago. When it looks like The Rock will win, the lights will go out and when they go back on, The Rock will seen on top of a smashed table. Only this time, Vince McMahon won't be able to come out to restart the match because he was recently injured by the man that put The Rock through the table this time, Brock Lesnar. Predicted Winner: CM Punk
Predicted WrestleMania XXIX Card
- Brock Lesnar vs. The Rock - A few weeks ago, WWE Magazine had Rock vs. Brock as the rematch they'd most like to see. Today, WWE.com featured their match from 2002 as their Five-Star Match of the Week. Click here to see that match and 19 other Five-Star Matches of the Week in their entirety.
- WWE Champion CM Punk vs. John Cena - This feud appeared to be drawing to a conclusion at Hell in a Cell but an injury forced Cena to drop out of that match. After the series of great matches these two men have had against one another, it only makes sense for their feud to culminate at this event.
- World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio vs. Randy Orton - I explained my thought process on this one earlier.
- Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho - Fozzy begins a month-long tour of Europe a few days after this show which means that Jericho had to return for something special. What is more special than fighting Undertaker at this event? On the road to 20-0, three of Undertaker's last four matches in the streak wound up winning my Match of the Year.
- Big Show vs. Ryback - Ryback is always chanting "Feed Me More" and if he were a cannibal there would be no bigger meal for him to eat than Big Show. Just as John Cena giving Big Show an Attitude Adjustment at WrestleMania XX began his journey to the top of the card, if Ryback can pull off a Shell Shock he would have an incredible WrestleMania moment that will spur him onto much greater things.
- Mark Henry vs. Sheamus - I see something happening between these two during the Elimination Chamber Match which will result in this match taking place.
- Anger Management Match Featuring Charlie Sheen as Special Guest Referee: Kane vs. Daniel Bryan - It sure seemed like Charlie Sheen was going to get involved at SummerSlam but reportedly his price was too high for that event. The budget for WrestleMania is bigger and WWE loves to get celebrities involved in their biggest show of the year to get some mainstream media attention.
- US Champion The Miz vs. Jack Swagger - After Zeb Coulter's speech on Monday night, it only makes sense for Swagger to go after a title with the name United States in it. I can see Swagger targeting guys like Rey Mysterio, Sin Cara and Yoshi Tatsu on the road to this title shot. I also think that speech planted the seeds for a future match against Alberto Del Rio.
- World Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow vs. R-Truth & Kofi Kingston - The singles scene is a little crowded right now and these four men seem as though they will be stuck in the tag team scene for the near-future. I'm picking this for the match that is a part of the pre-show.
- 10-man Tag Team Match: Team Booker T (Rey Mysterio, Sin Cara, Evan Bourne, Bo Dallas and Brodus Clay) vs. Team Vickie Guerrero (Dolph Ziggler, Wade Barrett, and The Shield) - With Vince McMahon out of commission and the brand split being virtually nonexistent, I'm sure Booker T and Vickie Guerrero will step on each others toes a few times in the next few weeks. Just like last year when Team Johnny took on Team Teddy, I see the title of GM for both shows on the line here. I picked the 10-men in this match based upon being the biggest stars with nothing else to do on the show. The big surprise in my pick is that I have Dolph on Team Vickie. The onl reason he would help Vickie is if she would do something in return for him. That something would be Vickie allowing him to cash in his briefcase for a title match of his choosing. Under that scenario, a win here could possibly lead to Dolph cashing in his title shot against John Cena later on in the show.

There's no way punk leaves with the title especially when Rock v Cena 2 (yawn) is reported as being a lock,as for Lesnar he will be facing triple h,other wise it messes up the storylines,vince made the stip but it won't be for punks gain but the Rocks
- February 15, 2013 at 1:16 pm(2) Jay says:
I would be pleasantly surprised to see Brock vs. Rock at Wrestlemania, seeing as that everything I've read seems to indicate that Rock vs. Cena 2 has already been decided. I agree that Brock will have some impact on the EC title match, he could just as easily turn on CM Punk and set up a match between the 2 of them, which I would like to see. Brock could destroy Punk at Wrestlemania and let Punk go off tv for a bit to recover from his injuries.
- February 15, 2013 at 1:57 pm(3) The Blade says:
Damien Sandow should get a big push soon. Sandow does the funniest and least-predictable promos in the company. He is so funny that I can't eat or drink while he is doing a promo for fear of projectile laughter.
- February 15, 2013 at 4:58 pm(4) Barry says:
I think Jack Swagger will win the Elimination Chamber match. He is doing some controversial promos against the Mexican community. WWE can use that to fuel anger maybe even rage within Alberto Del Rio. Which will make the Wrestlemania match more intense. Jack Swagger's intensity right now is at an all time high, and by the time WrestleMania comes up Swagger could have some serious heat on him from the crowd.
- February 15, 2013 at 11:07 pm(5) Bob The Butcher says:
The wrestling community, in my opinion, does not want to see Rock vs. Cena 2 for the belt. We all know Cena will take the title due to Rock going back to Hollywood. It's too predictable. So I say, Punk takes the title and faces Cena for the "final showdown".
- February 16, 2013 at 3:04 pm(6) Josh says:
Would love to see Dolph get involved in the Heavyweight Championship match and cash in his opportunity after Del Rio wins…but at a cost, Show is too beat to counter and NEW CHAMP! Depending on when this and EC match are influences my winner for EC, if EC is after this, Jericho wins and sets up a great showdown for them at Mania.
Whose better at "black out" scenes than the dead man…he returns and destroys Punks chance, setting up Best in the world against The Streak!
Rock Cena 2, though not my favorite option works, unless Brock uses his "voice" Heyman to goad John into putting his opportunity up for a rematch from Extreme Rules on RAW, Brock wins and battles Rock at Mania with cena getting back in and a triple threat fit for Mania.
- February 20, 2013 at 9:12 pm(7) Wrestling Boy says:
Here are my Wrestlemania 29 Predictions:
WWE Championship: champion The Rock vs. John Cena (MAYBE vs. CM Punk)
The Undertaker vs. CM PUNK (ONE OR THE OTHER)
World Heavyweight Championship: champion Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger
Kane vs. Daniel Bryan with Dr. Shelby as the Special Guest Referee
The Shield vs. Chris Jericho, Ryback, & Sheamus
United States Championship: champion Antonio Cesaro vs. The Miz
Pre-Show Tag Team Championship: champions Brodus Clay & Tensai vs. Team Rhodes Scholars
Brock Lesnar vs. Mr. McMahon
I think that Dolph Ziggler will cash in his MITB contract tonight.
The five men that I didn't list but I think will be on the show in some way: Wade Barrett, The Big Show, Kofi Kingston, & Dolph Ziggler

Parents know it's not wise to let little kids pour their own milk or juice. You can end up with quite a mess on your hands.
But now a new product promises to let the kids help themselves.
The magic tap is an automatic drink dispenser which promises no drips or spills, and claims to fit a variety of drink containers.
A battery-operated pump draws your drink to the top and the super sensitive touch trigger is supposed to let kids get their own milk or juice.
We brought a half gallon of lemonade to the nearby Stepping Stone School, where 4-year-olds Max, Theo and Callia agree to put the Magic Tap to the test.
The kids quickly get the hang of the Magic Tap. They say it's easy and fun for them to use because they don't spill a drop.
The pint-sized testers give Magic Tap a thumbs up.

11100 Ventura Blvd, Studio City, CA | Directions 9160434.141082 -118.372233
Mon - Sun 11am - 2am Open early on European Game days
If You Are In The Mood For It! – This place can get crowded fast and people don't leave early or often. So if you go with a group of friends you might end up standing around by the bar area. I have been there several times and I have good and bad experiences. It is really a give or take. It you want to just go and have a few beers perfect, but if you want to socialize, have dinner and listen to great music for the night do not bother.
Rude people – First and last time I would ever visit that place. The people are rude and there is no room to sit where you may enjoy the live music.
The music was not all that bad. However, when you have drunken people bumping into you or dumb blondes who do not know what "excuse me" means, you wonder if half the people ever went to school.
I have been to London several times and this is quite frankly a horrible imitation.
Great place to get hammered and sing along to classic rock. – I've only been here at night usually on weekends. It may get a bit crowded, but thats all part of the fun. Playing darts or listening to the amazing cover band are two main attractions. If you get there early enough you can even grab a table outside and have the waitress serve drinks. No need to get dressed up here or to wait in a long line. Its a 'no bs' place you can go to get hammered with some friends and listen to loud rock music.
Great food, great beer, lots of fun – Went to the Fox for the first time a few months ago and now i'm addicted. I ALWAYS have a good time. Parking's sometimes a bit of a problem but there's a small lot behind the pub, another two doors down the street behind them that's available every night and all day long on weekends, and a fair amount of street parking. Love their cheeseburgers, chips (fries) and chicken tenders. Great beer and cider selection. Their prices are very reasonable. Tons of TVs for the European football, my new favorite sport. The music most nights is really good. Tends to be quieter and more acoustic during the beginning of the week and great rockin bands on the weekends that emphasize Brit pop and classic Brit rock. And i'm there most Monday and Wednesday nights for their Pub Quiz which is really competitive and an amazing amount of fun. Saw Matthew Perry playing trivia there a few Wednesday nights ago. Highly, highly recommended.
Don't waste your time and money – Awful services, Pathetic TV sets (They shouldn't boast "Sports Viewing" with those sad 20" TV sets!), Loud and annoying clienteles (scary looking and old as well...). To top it off, NOT ENOUGH PARKING! (No Valet)I had to walk two sinking blocks. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL.
Thursday nights ROCK! – A great place to go for live acoustic music, tasty drinks, and a Cheers type of atmosphere. Bob plays one mean guitar and songs I can always sing along to! Yes, I'm that annoying girl who sings along, but there no one seems to mind, because everyone around me is jammin with him too.
Loud and Expensive – Stopped by Fox & Hounds the other night to see a friend of a friend perform. Their selection of beers on tap were decent. Nothing out of the ordinary for a british pub. But the prices were really high it seemed. Also got charged 8 bucks for a very week jack and coke. They set up the stage in the other room, but it was very noisy. Music still playing loudly on the side with the bar. And people kept walking in front of the singer to go out to the smoking patio. Not a place I would go to see anyone play, ever again. And really, probably wouldn't go back for any other reason either.
Great place if you're looking for a bit of home – I love this place. I miss the UK desperately every noe and again, and this gives me the bit of home I miss. Great food, great entertainment on Friday nights (King Mixers are EXCELLENT) AND they serve CIDER! And good cider to boot! Good fun to watch the footy matches at 7am too!
Where proper British pints are poured for Studio City blokes and birds. – In Short
Whether you're a homesick Brit living in L.A. or just a regular American searching for a good pint, the Fox & Hounds pub will quench your thirst. Long wooden benches, brass railings and English bartenders make you feel like you're in the land of Blighty. On weekends live bands rock out in the cozy main room while other nights find British soccer fans cheering for their team on the telly.

Baseball Defeats Armstrong Atlantic 9-5, Claim Third Straight Win
DAHLONEGA, Ga. – The University of North Georgia (UNG) baseball team continued to build momentum Friday evening as the Saints took down Armstrong Atlantic State University 9-5 in the first game of a Peach Belt Conference three-game series at Bob Stein Stadium.
Prior to the game, head coach Tom Cantrell was presented with a commemorative jersey marking his 500th win at North Georgia. Cantrell collected win #500 with the Saints, the 677th of his collegiate coaching career, with an 11-9 victory over King College on February 9 of this year.
In the game, the Saints were able to control the offensive side of things nearly all the way through as the two squads combined for 27 hits and 14 runs.
The scoring started in the bottom of the second when right fielder Andrew Gordon scored off a single by Brad Barto. The Saints then extended the lead in the bottom of the next inning when Kenny Bellavance knocked Eason Spivey in with a single through the right side.
Both Bellavance and Spivey ended the game with three runs batted in. Spivey added two runs scored with a 3-4 performance at the plate while Tremayne Toorie, Travis Naraine and Bellavance joined him in collecting multiple hits in the contest.
The Pirates did make several attempts to cut the lead, including pulling to within one at 6-5 in the eighth when Cody Sherlin and Chris Fritts both scored for the Pirates.
However, the Saints' bats could not be silenced as Derek Hooper, Toorie and Spivey all scored in the bottom of the frame to help secure the victory.
Clint Spratlin (2-3) pitched six innings on the mound, striking out seven batters, to claim the win with red shirt freshman Brandon Agar coming in for the final three innings to earn his third save of the season with four strikeouts.
Mitchell Dolan (2-1) accepted his first loss of the season for the Saints as he gave up 12 hits and six runs in five and two-thirds innings of work.
North Georgia and Armstrong will renew their rivalry tomorrow, Saturday, Apr. 13 with a PBC doubleheader. First pitch of game-one is slated for 2:00 p.m. with the second game to follow at around 5:30 p.m.

Christian Zionism
Christian Zionism is a belief among some Christians that the return of the Jews to the Holy Land, and the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, is in accordance with Biblical prophecy. The term Christian Zionism was popularized in the mid-twentieth century, following the coining of the term "Zionism" in 1890. Prior to that time the common term was Restorationism.[1][2]
Traditional Catholic thought did not consider Zionism in any form;[3] Christian advocacy of the restoration of the Jews arose following the Protestant Reformation.
Some Christian Zionists believe that the "ingathering" of Jews in Israel is a prerequisite for the Second Coming of Jesus. This belief is primarily, though not exclusively, associated with Christian Dispensationalism. The idea that Christians should actively support a Jewish return to the Land of Israel, along with the parallel idea that the Jews ought to be encouraged to become Christian, as a means fulfilling a Biblical prophecy has been common in Protestant circles since the Reformation.[4][5][6] Many Christian Zionists believe that the people of Israel remain part of the chosen people of God, along with the "ingrafted" Gentile Christians[Romans 11:17-24] (dual-covenant theology).

History prior to the First Zionist Conference[edit]
Protestant Reformation[edit]
Traditional Catholic thought did not consider Zionism in any form;[7] Christian advocacy of the restoration of the Jews arose following the protestant reformation, particularly in the English-speaking world among the Puritans.
Christian support for the restoration of the Jews was brought to America by the Puritans who fled England. In colonial times, Increase Mather and John Cotton,among others, favored restoration of the Jews, but it was not until the early 19th century that the idea gathered impetus.
Ezra Stiles at Yale was a prominent supporter of restoration of the Jews. In 1808, Asa McFarland, a Presbyterian, voiced the opinion of many that the fall of the Ottoman Empire was imminent and would bring about the restoration of the Jews. One David Austin of New Haven spent his fortune building docks and inns from which the Jews could embark to the Holy Land. In 1825 Mordecai Manuel Noah, a Jew who wanted to found a national home for the Jews on Grand Island in New York as a way station on the way to the holy land, won widespread Christian backing for his project. Likewise, restorationist theology was among the inspirations for the first American missionary activity in the Middle East.[citation needed]
Many Christians believed that the return of the Jews to Judea, as prophesied in the Bible, was a necessary preliminary step towards the Second Coming, an attitude now known as Christian Zionism. In this particular interpretation, after the Jews returned they would both accept Jesus as their savior and rebuild the Temple, which would usher in the Second Coming of Christ.[8]
As the demise of the Ottoman Empire appeared to be approaching, the advocacy of restorationism increased. At the same time, the visit of John Nelson Darby, the founder of dispensationalism, to the United States, catalyzed a dispensationalist movement and an evangelical revival. This was expressed at the Niagara Bible Conference in 1878, which issued a 14 point proclamation, including the following text:
...that the Lord Jesus will come in person to introduce the millennial age, when Israel shall be restored to their own land, and the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord; and that this personal and premillennial advent is the blessed hope set before us in the Gospel for which we should be constantly looking. (Luke 12:35-40; 17:26-30; 18:8 Acts 15:14-17; 2 Thess. 2:3-8; 2 Tim. 3:1-5; Titus 1:11-15)
The dispensationalist theology of John Nelson Darby which motivates one stream of American Christian Zionism is often claimed to be the foundation of American Christian Zionism. He first distinguished the hopes of the Jews and that of the church and gentiles in his ground-breaking series of 11 evening lectures in Geneva in 1840. His lectures were immediately published in French (L'Attente Actuelle de l'Eglise), English (1841), German and Dutch (1847) and so his teachings began their global journey. While there is no doubt that it had a great influence through the Scofield Bible, Christian support of the restoration of the Jews preceded the publication of the Scofield Reference Bible (first published by OUP, 1917) for nearly a century, and many prominent Christian Zionists and Christian Zionist organizations such as the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem do not subscribe to dispensationalism.
In the United States, dispensationalist Christian Zionism was popularized by the evangelical Cyrus Scofield (1843–1921), who promoted the doctrine that Jesus could not return to reign on Earth until certain events occurred. In the interim, prior to these last days events, Scofield's system taught that the Christian church was primarily for the salvation of the Gentiles, and that according to God's plan the Jewish people are under a different dispensation of God's grace, which has been put out of gear so to speak, until the last days (the common name of this view is, dispensationalism), when the Christian Church will be removed from the earth by a miracle (called the Rapture).
Scofield writing in the 1900s said that, in those last days, the Bible predicts the return of the Jews to the Holy Land and particularly to Jerusalem. Scofield further predicted that, Islamic holy places would be destroyed, and the Temple in Jerusalem would be rebuilt - signalling the very end of the Church Age when the Antichrist would arise, and all who seek to keep the covenant with God will acknowledge Jesus as their Messiah in defiance of the Antichrist.
Charles Taze Russell was another early Christian advocate of Zionism - but with an altogether different prophetic programme to orthodox Trinitarian dispensationalists.
Secular motivations[edit]
The crumbling of the Ottoman Empire threatened the British route to India via Suez as well as sundry French, German and American economic interests. The idea of a Jewish state east of Suez therefore held some appeal.
In 1831 the Ottomans were driven from Greater Syria (including Palestine) by an expansionist Egypt, in the First Turko-Egyptian War. Although Britain forced Muhammad Ali to withdraw to Egypt, the Levant was left for a brief time without a government. The ongoing weakness of the Ottoman Empire made some in the west consider the potential of a Jewish State in the Holy Land. A number of important figures within the British government advocated such a plan.[9][10] Again during the lead-up to the Crimean War (1854), there was an opportunity for political rearrangements in the Near East. In July 1853, Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury, who was President of the London Society for Promoting Christianity Amongst the Jews, wrote to Prime Minister Aberdeen urging Jewish restoration as a means of stabilizing the region.[11][12]
Late nineteenth century, non-Messianic Restorationism was largely driven by concern over the fate of the Jews of the Russian Empire, beset by poverty and by deadly, government-inspired pogroms. It was widely accepted that western nations did not wish to receive Jewish immigrants. Restorationism was a way for charitable individuals to assist oppressed Jews without actually accepting them as neighbors and fellow-citizens.[13][14][15] In this, Restorationism was not unlike the efforts of the American Colonization Society to send blacks to Liberia and the efforts of British abolitionists to create Sierra Leone. Winston Churchill endorsed Restoration because he recognized that Jews fleeing Russian pogroms required a refuge, and preferred Palestine for sentimental reasons.[16]
Early Religious views in Protestant America[edit]
In 1818, President John Adams wrote, "I really wish the Jews again in Judea an independent nation", and believed that they would gradually become Unitarian Christians.[17]
In 1844, George Bush, a professor of Hebrew at New York University and the cousin of an ancestor of the Presidents Bush, published a book titled The Valley of Vision; or, The Dry Bones of Israel Revived. In it he denounced "the thralldom and oppression which has so long ground them (the Jews) to the dust," and called for "elevating" the Jews "to a rank of honorable repute among the nations of the earth" by allowing restoring the Jews to the land of Israel where the bulk would be converted to Christianity.[18] This, according to Bush, would benefit not only the Jews, but all of mankind, forming a "link of communication" between humanity and God. "It will blaze in notoriety...". "It will flash a splendid demonstration upon all kindreds and tongues of the truth."[4]
Herman Melville expressed the idea in a poem, Clarel; A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land
"...the Hebrew seers announce in time
the return of Judah to her prime;Help reinstate the Holy Land...
Some Christians deemed it then at hand
Here was an object. Up and On.
With seed and tillage help renew -
The tycoon William Eugene Blackstone was inspired by the conference to publish the book Jesus is Coming, which took up the restorationist cause, and also absolved the Jews of the need to convert to Christianity either before or after the return of the Messiah. His book was translated and published in Yiddish. On November 24–25, 1890, Blackstone organized the Conference on the Past, Present and Future of Israel at the First Methodist Episcopal Church in Chicago where participants included leaders of many Christian communities. Resolutions of sympathy for the oppressed Jews living in Russia were passed, but Blackstone was convinced that such resolutions - even though passed by prominent men - were insufficient. He advocated strongly for the resettlement of Jewish people in Palestine. In 1891 he lobbied President Benjamin Harrison for the restoration of the Jews, in a petition signed by over 400 prominent Americans, that became known as the Blackstone Memorial. It read, in part: "Why shall not the powers which under the treaty of Berlin, in 1878, gave Bulgaria to the Bulgarians and Servia to the Servians now give Palestine back to the Jews?…These provinces, as well as Romania, Montenegro, and Greece, were wrested from the Turks and given to their natural owners. Does not Palestine as rightfully belong to the Jews?"[19]
Views in the British Empire[edit]
Ideas favoring the restoration of the Jews in the Palestine or Land of Israel entered the British public discourse in the 1830s, though British reformationists had written about the restoration of the Jews as early as the 16th century, and the idea had strong support among Puritans.[20] Not all such attitudes were favorable towards the Jews; they were shaped in part by a variety of Protestant beliefs,[21] or by a streak of philo-Semitism among the classically educated British elite,[22] or by hopes to extend the Empire. (See The Great Game)
At the urging of Lord Shaftesbury, Britain established a consulate in Jerusalem in 1838, the first diplomatic appointment to Palestine.
In 1839, the Church of Scotland sent Andrew Bonar, Robert Murray M'Cheyne, Alexander Black and Alexander Keith on a mission to report on the condition of the Jews in Palestine. Their report was widely published.[23] They traveled through France, Greece, and Egypt and, from Egypt, overland to Gaza. On the way home they visited Syria, the Austrian Empire and some of the German principalities. They sought out Jewish communities and inquired about their readiness to accept Christ and, separately, their preparedness to return to Israel as prophesied in the Bible. Alexander Keith recounted the journey in his 1844 book The Land of Israel According to the Covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. It was also in that book that Keith used the slogan that became popular with other Christian Restorationists, a land without a people for a people without a land. In 1844 he revisited Palestine with his son, Dr George Skene Keith (1819–1910), who was the first person to photograph the land.[24]
In August 1840, The Times reported that the British government was considering Jewish restoration.[20] An important, though often neglected, figure in British support of the restoration of the Jews was William Hechler (1845–1931), an English clergyman of German descent who was Chaplain of the British Embassy in Vienna and became a close friend of Theodor Herzl. Hechler was instrumental in aiding Herzl through his diplomatic activities, and may, in that sense, be called the founder of modern Christian Zionism.
Recent political analysis and developments[edit]
With the Jewish settlement of Palestine thereafter, and the establishment of a modern Jewish state on May 14, 1948, dispensationalism (already popular among American Christian fundamentalists) enjoyed an immediate boost of credibility. It seemed to many that biblical prophecy was being explained by the headlines of the newspaper, sparking an intense interest in events in the Middle East, which has continued unabated. Modern Christian Zionism is a politically potent consequence of this religious interest in the modern state of Israel, as contemporary events are interpreted in light of their relationship to biblical prophecy.
The role of certain Christians in supporting the establishment of Israel following World War II is well known; and it is regarded by some critics as, in part, a kind of self-willed fulfillment of prophecy. Given this, some are alarmed by what else Christian Zionists envision being done to bring about the conversion of the Jews and the end of the world. As an example, Hal Lindsey, one of the most popular American promoters of dispensationalism, has written in The Late Great Planet Earth that per Ezekiel 39:6-8, after Jews fight off a "Russian" invasion, Jews will see this as a miracle and convert to Christianity. Their lives will be spared the great fire that God will put upon Russia and people of the "coastlands." And, per Zechariah 13:8-9, one third of Jews alive who have converted will be spared.[25]
In United States politics, Christian Zionism is important because it mobilises an important Republican constituency: fundamentalist and evangelical Protestants who support Israel. The Democratic Party, which has the support of most American Jews, is also generally pro-Israel, but with less intensity and fewer theological underpinnings.
Sociologically, Christian Zionism can be seen as a product of the peculiar circumstances of the United States, in which the world's largest community of Jews lives side by side with the world's largest community of evangelical Christians. There has historically been a somewhat antagonistic relationship between these two communities, largely based on the generally liberal/progressive social policy tendencies of the Jewish community with the more 'rugged individualist' leanings of the American Protestant communities, more so than any theological dispute. Their mutual reverence for the texts of the Hebrew Bible has brought them together, however, as has their common ground against generally leftist pro-Palestinian and/or anti-Israeli factions in American politics.
The mobilisation of evangelicals has tended to bolster the so-called neo-conservative policies of the Republicans, because Christian Zionists tend to favor a hawkish foreign policy and have less sympathy for Palestinian claims than do the Democrats.
Examples of Christian leaders combining political conservatism with Christian Zionism are Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, leading figures of the Christian Right in the 1980s and 1990s. Falwell said in 1981: "To stand against Israel is to stand against God. We believe that history and scripture prove that God deals with nations in relation to how they deal with Israel." They cite part of the blessing of Isaac at Genesis 27:29, "Those who curse you will be cursed, and those who bless you will be blessed."
The government of Israel has given official encouragement to Christian Zionism, allowing the establishment in 1980 of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem. The main function of the embassy is to enlist worldwide Christian support for Israel. The embassy has raised funds to help finance Jewish immigration to Israel from the former Soviet Union, and has assisted Zionist groups in establishing Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
The Third International Christian Zionist Congress, held in Jerusalem in February 1996, issued a proclamation which said:
- God the Father, Almighty, chose the ancient nation and people of Israel, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to reveal His plan of redemption for the world. They remain elect of God, and without the Jewish nation His redemptive purposes for the world will not be completed.
- Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah and has promised to return to Jerusalem, to Israel and to the world.
- It is reprehensible that generations of Jewish peoples have been killed and persecuted in the name of our Lord, and we challenge the Church to repent of any sins of commission or omission against them.
- The modern Ingathering of the Jewish People to Eretz Israel and the rebirth of the nation of Israel are in fulfilment of biblical prophecies, as written in both Old and New Testaments.
- Christian believers are instructed by Scripture to acknowledge the Hebraic roots of their faith and to actively assist and participate in the plan of God for the Ingathering of the Jewish People and the Restoration of the nation of Israel in our day.[26]
Popular interest in Christian Zionism was given a boost around the year 2000 in the form of the Left Behind series of novels by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins.[27] The novels are built around the prophetic role of Israel in the apocalyptic End Times.
Disapproval by other Churches[edit]
Jerusalem Declaration on Christian Zionism[edit]
The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem (Catholic), the Syrian Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem, the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land, have recently joined together in order to proclaim and to publish the Jerusalem Declaration on Christian Zionism (August 22, 2006). This Declaration rejects Christian Zionism for substituting a political-military program in place of the teachings of Jesus Christ.[28] The statement is very critical of Christian Zionism because it views it as providing a worldview where the Gospel is identified with the ideology of empire, colonialism and militarism. Palestinian Christian leaders have also been very vocal in supporting the "Kairos Palestine" document calling for a boycott against Israel until it stops its discriminatory policies in the Palestinian territories.[29]
United States[edit]
The General Assembly of the National Council of Churches in November 2007 approved a resolution for further study which stated that the "theological stance of Christian Zionism adversely affects:
- justice and peace in the Middle East, delaying the day when Israelis and Palestinians can live within secure borders
- relationships with Middle Eastern Christians {prior reference to the Jerusalem Declaration on Christian Zionism}
- relationships with Jews, since Jews are seen as mere pawns in an eschatological scheme
- relationships with Muslims, since it treats the rights of Muslims as subordinate to the rights of Jews
- interfaith dialogue, since it views the world in starkly dichotomous terms"[30]
The Reformed Church in America at its 2004 General Synod found "the ideology of Christian Zionism and the extreme form of dispensationalism that undergirds it to be a distortion of the biblical message noting the impediment it represents to achieving a just peace in Israel/Palestine."[31] The Mennonite Church published an article that referenced what is called the ongoing illegal seizure of additional Palestinian lands by Israeli militants,[32][33] noting that in some churches under the influence of Christian Zionism the "congregations 'adopt' illegal Israeli settlements, sending funds to bolster the defense of these armed colonies." As of September 2007, churches in the USA that have criticized Christian Zionism include the United Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church (USA), and the United Church of Christ.[34] And Zionism dispels any possibility of the Preterist understanding that Christ came to Earth, to end the Old Covenent that God made with Man, and begin a new Covenent with Man. In doing so, it ended the old Jewish ways and instilled a new path for the forgiveness for sin, and that through a perfect human sacrifice Jesus Christ.
The film With God On Our Side, by Porter Speakman Jr. and Kevin Miller (the latter of whom also co-created the film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed), criticizes both the underlying theology behind Christian Zionism as well as its negative influence on the church.[35]
Biblical interpretations[edit]
The New Testament, in some proponents' opinions, is interpreted as evidence that God still has a special relationship with Israel. The Biblical foundations of Christian doctrines regarding the theological status of Jews include prophetic and didactic texts. Some supporters of the restoration of the Jews interpret the prophetic texts as describing inevitable future events, and these events primarily involve Israel (taken to mean the descendants of the Biblical patriarch Jacob) or Judah (taken to mean the remaining faithful adherents of Judaism). People who take them at face value see these prophecies as requiring the presence of a Jewish state in The Holy Land, the central part of the lands promised to the Biblical patriarch Abraham in his covenant with God. This requirement is sometimes interpreted as being fulfilled by the contemporary state of Israel. The didactic texts of the Epistles also include explanations of the events described in prophecy, and so complement and expand upon their significance.
Didactic texts[edit]
Among the principal didactic references are the New Testament books of Romans (especially chapter 15; q.v. "if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual benefits, then they are obligated to minister to Jews in material needs.", and chapter 11; "a hardening in part has come to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, and thus will all Israel be saved"), and especially Hebrews, which elaborates the history of Judaism, relating the events of the Torah and Ketuvim as a "foreshadowing" of the Christian era, and describes the relationship of the Jewish people to God in a continuing context. In Romans 11, Paul wrote: I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. It continues with a parable of a grafted olive tree, the point of which is disputed. Some say that it is the restoration of Israel to promised land, while others say that it is gentiles being grafted into the covenant of God with Israel's faithful remnant.
Prophetic and Messianic texts[edit]
Among the principal relevant prophetic texts are those found in the Jewish Bible or Old Testament in the Book of Daniel, the book of Isaiah and the Book of Ezekiel, and those found in the New Testament in the Book of Revelation. These Old Testament books describe the Apocalypse, meaning literally the "unveiling", a vision of an eschatological event or end times. The Book of Revelation, or "Αποκάλυψις Ιωάννου" in the original Greek, puts forth an early Christian eschatological view which has been interpreted in many ways. The Roman Catholic study Bible as well as the doctrines of most mainline Protestant denominations caution that Revelation is an allegory. However, some Christians, including many evangelicals and fundamentalists, read Revelation as a prophetic script containing a timetable to the future End Times. The contents of these books are discussed in the relevant articles, particularly in the article Book of Revelation.
Though many Christian Zionists believe that conversion of the Jews to Christianity is a necessary adjunct of the Second Coming or the End of Days, conversion of the Jews is not part of the theology of prominent Christian Zionists such as John Hagee and was not thought to be required by the nineteenth century restoration advocate William Eugene Blackstone.
Both pro-Zionist and anti-Zionist schools of Christian thought may be influenced and motivated by the description found in Revelation, in the message to the Church at Philadelphia: "Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but lie. Behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you." This description is often offensive to Zionist Jews who otherwise find some common ground with Christian Zionism in their support of an ethnic Jewish state in the Holy Land. Nonetheless, it forms one of the foundational ideas underlying some support for Christian Zionism and plays a definitive role in its eschatological script of prospective events.
Christian schools of doctrine which consider other teachings to counterbalance these doctrines, or which interpret them in terms of distinct eschatological theories, are less conducive to Christian Zionism. Among the many texts which address this subject in counterbalance are the words of Jesus, as for example in Matthew, "the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it", and the writer of Hebrews's discussion (echoed in 1 Peter) of the Christian church as fulfilling the role previously fulfilled by the faithful Jews and the Temple, and the doctrine of Paul, expressed in Galatians, that "in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek".
In Defending Christian Zionism, David Pawson, a prominent Christian Zionist in the United Kingdom, puts forward the case that the return of the Jews to the Holy Land is a fulfilment of scriptural prophecy, and that Christians should support the existence of the Jewish State (although not unconditionally its actions) on theological grounds. He also argues that prophecies spoken about Israel relate specifically to Israel (not to the church, as in "replacement theology"). However, he criticises Dispensationalism, which he says is a largely American movement holding similar views. Pawson was spurred to write this book by the work of Stephen Sizer, an evangelical Christian who rejects Christian Zionism.

CIVILIZED DINING – Every time I visit Hilton Head (every two to three months) I always look forward to eating at Claude & Uli's. I just had the Alaskan sole this past Monday Oct 12 '09. It was on their early bird menu which, it turns out, is offered the entire evening on Mondays. I love good fish but WOW this was simply extraordinary; served in a light and delicate lemony butter sauce accompanied with perfectly seasoned steamed vegetables all in perfect portion. I can say I have never had fish that was prepared so delectably! I had the brocolli/potato soup before dinner (also delicious with a gorgeous spice balance) and bread pudding for dessert. There really is no reason to eat anywhere else when visiting the Hilton Head area.

Q: How does
molecules-to-man evolution have an information problem?
A: Information is the real heart of the problem for people who believe
that life could have arisen by natural processes. All life is built up on the basis of information. This information
is contained in our DNA—the molecule of heredity. It's
like a series of letters and a code to read them.
A good comparison
would be the Morse code. If you understand the code with dots and
dashes representing letters of the alphabet, you can read something
that's put in Morse code.
evolution were true, then the very first organism had to have information
in the form of letters and a code. Evolutionists say that as organisms
evolved, new information had to be continually added. In
other words, millions of times over millions of years, new information
would have to be generated by random processes and added to the genetic
here's the clincher. No one has ever documented even
just one instance of new information arising from
matter by itself. All observations in science show clearly that information
only comes from previously existing information, and ultimately from
an intelligence. And this fits with creation—not evolution.

Martha Stewart's Macaroni and Cheese
Author Notes: A genius recipe for perfectly creamy baked macaroni and cheese, adapted slightly from The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook: The Original Classics. Note: You can easily divide this recipe in half -- use a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish instead of a 3-quart one. - Genius Recipes
Serves 12
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for dish
- 6 slices good white bread, crusts removed, torn or diced into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces
- 5 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 4 1/2 cups grated sharp white cheddar cheese (about 18 ounces)
- 2 cups grated Gruyere cheese (about 8 ounces) or 1 1/4 cups grated Pecorino Romano cheese (about 5 ounces)
- 1 pound elbow macaroni (or other small pasta shape)
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 3-quart casserole dish; set aside. Place bread in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter (alternately, melt butter in the microwave). Pour butter into bowl with bread, and toss. Set breadcrumbs aside. Pull out 1 1/2 cups of grated cheddar, and 1/2 cup Gruyere or 1/4 cup Pecorino Romano, and reserve.
- Fill a large pot with water; bring to a boil. Add macaroni; cook 2 to 3 minutes less than manufacturer's directions, until the outside of pasta is cooked and the inside is underdone. (Different brands of macaroni cook at different rates; be sure to read the instructions.) Transfer macaroni to a colander, rinse under cold running water, and drain well. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, heat milk. In the same pot you used for boiling the pasta, melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter over medium heat. When butter bubbles, add flour. Cook, whisking, 1 minute.
- While whisking, slowly pour in hot milk. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and becomes thick.
- Remove pan from heat. Stir in salt, nutmeg, black pepper, cayenne pepper, 3 cups cheddar cheese, and 1 1/2 cups Gruyere or 1 cup Pecorino Romano. Stir reserved macaroni into the cheese sauce.
- Pour mixture into prepared dish. Sprinkle remaining 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup Gruyere or 1/4 cup Pecorino Romano, and breadcrumbs over top. Bake until browned on top, about 30 minutes. If after 30 minutes, it's not browned to your liking, broil the topping rather than leaving it in the oven, which may cause the pasta to overcook and sauce to dry out. Transfer dish to a wire rack to cool 5 minutes; serve hot.

I couldn't find sharp white cheddar in my area. Used Tillamook sharp yellow cheddar. Made this at a conference for some VIP's with a southern meal of roast and all the sides - and there was not a speck of it left in the dish! They LOVED it!

I made this recently and it was everything everyone said - I'd never been successful with Mac and Cheese before (the cheese was always grainy and never seemed to bond with the pasta). I did use Velveeta : ) instead of the cheddar and used panko as the topping. That said - it was great - my husband loved it and it is now the "go-to" for Mac and Cheese! Thanks!

I made this for Thanksgiving and was it ever a bug hit! Yum. I followed the recipe, just left of the bread cubes. Easy to make... I used a 3qt Corning Ware dish that is tall and square vs the more shallow dish pictured. I will use a shallow 3qt Nxt time. At 30 min it was not heated thru so cooked for hour. Everyone loved it I would be liked it too be a bit more creamy. Next to I will use a more shallow dish or cut the cooking to 45 min. Also, I bet if you add some beer in place of some of the milk it would add another layer of flavor. This is a 10!

I made this on a whim and it is now my go to mac and cheese recipe. I have added chicken, tried it without and with bread crumbs, added bacon, added broccoli, tried different cheeses, It has never been anything but delicious. One of my friends said, " I really don't like mac and cheese" and then got seconds.

Just made this without the gruyere, mostly due to cost - but, I added roasted cauliflower - wow! The combination with this recipe is amazing...

I halved the recipe,following exactly, using sharp cheddar and gruyère. Sprinkled some Parmesan/Romano into buttered casserole, and added a little tabasco. Don't skip the panko & cheese topping. this was delicious!
10 months ago Katie
I loved this recipe but I have to say, in my opinion, Ina Garten's version trumps this pasta- thanks in part to her breadcrumb topping. This is definitely a genius recipe and delicious indeed but I will be sticking with Ina's mac & cheese in the future.

Trying this tonight! I think I will use Parmesan mixed with gruyere and cheddar basically bc that's what I've got in the fridge!

I make this all the time. I like it just as written, but my husband and his girls love cheddar, so I often make is using only cheddar. I also like to mix panko with butter and a little cheese for the topping.

I've made this recipe before. Some people don't like gruyere. In that case I would recommend using the pecorino instead.

I find it hilarious that people comment on here about how theirs didn't turn out and how bad it tasted... and then they go on to say that they didn't follow the recipe exactly. They used different cheese or measurments or whatever. So technically, you didn't make THIS recipe, but you are still going to give it a bad review. I don't get it. FOLLOW THE RECIPE!

Can I admit that I didn't find myself recoiling in foodie outrage at the idea of Velveeta--I was raised on the stuff (and loved it!). But still, I couldn't bring myself to buy it. What I did buy, though, was at least as good, and meets all the foodie prereqs: Italian fontina. You know, the soft, dare I say Velveeta-ish, cheese with the soft red-brown rind (never sure what to do with that rind--I always cut it off). OMG. This is the mac and cheese of my wildest dreams.

I see a few comments asking why does the recipes call for rinsing the pasta. Although the starchy residue normally causes sauce to adhere better to pasta, with mac and cheese it also can contribute to a grainy texture in the sauce. Rinsing the pasta allows for a much creamier end product.
