If you're a writer who wants to make your iPad your primary writing device, then there's really only two quality options when it comes to word processing apps: Apple's Pages and Microsoft's Word.
Below is my comparison of these apps in nine categories. My hope is that this review will be a help to you.
Winner: Word
Personally, I prefer Word's blue and white theme over Page's orange and white theme.
Winner: Pages
Pages uses a thumbnail view on their document home screen, which, in my opinion, is easier to work with and visually more appealing.
Winner: Word
Word places all of its function keys across the top of the document like it does on its desktop version. Those familiar with Word on the desktop will feel right at home with Word on the iPad. Additionally, Word spells out what the function tabs are (e.g. insert, layout, review, view).
Pages, on the other hand, divides its function keys between the top and bottom of its document and uses symbols (which could be moderately confusing to some) instead of words to describe its tabs (e.g. paintbrush symbol, + symbol, wrench symbol). Guessing which symbol takes you to what you're looking for can be annoying.
Winner: Pages
Once you understand the functions of Pages, you will find the ease of use is similar to Word, however, I find that it edges out Word in several areas (including, for example, the next two categories).
Winner: Pages
Whether you want to change the name of one of your documents once, or incessantly (I change my documents' titles constantly; giving them a new name with each save), then Pages is for you.
When it comes to Word, however, I suggest that you pick your document's name very carefully because you won't be able to change it. And if there is some esoteric way to accomplish this, Microsoft has made it so complicated that you will waste precious writing time trying to figure it out and researching how to do it (like I did . . . and still didn't get an answer).
So for ease of changing your document's name, Pages wins hands down. And as a bonus, Pages even allows you the option to change your document's title two ways: on the document home screen or from within the document itself (the latter being a new feature).
Winner: Pages
If there was any doubt about who wins this category, it was put to rest while I was writing this article using Word because I lost it during the saving process. Ugh!
I started this article over again in Pages and saved it without a problem.
Pages also has four formats in which to save your document:
1). Pages
2). Word
4). ePub.
Winner: Word
Word remains consistent whereas Pages tends to have formatting problems with font styles when transitioning between Pages and Word. I do not find this too troubling because Pages changes your font to a font compatible with Word.
Where I have experienced the most annoying issue with Pages formatting is when it comes to quotation marks. Those pesky little things tend to show up with inexplicably different styles even within the same document for no apparent reason.
There's " ".
As well as " ".
Sometimes this inconsistency of application in quotation marks appears in the same quote. I do not understand what causes this, but it is greatly annoying.
Also, when using a double hyphen (–) in Word, it converts it to the em dash (—) as expected. Pages, unfortunately, does not do this. It remains as –.
Winner: Pages
Until a couple years ago, Pages was only $9.99 compared to the exorbitant amount Microsoft was charging for their software on PCs. Now Pages is free to those who have purchased an iPhone or iPad in the last couple years (along with other Apple office apps like Keynote and Numbers).
Microsoft's Word and other Microsoft office apps are now available on the iOS, but they still come with a price tag. And the cost is not a one-time fee. Microsoft requires a yearly subscription. That alone prevented me from even trying Word on my iPad after the app was released.
When I discovered that I could use a free version of Word, I gave it a shot. And even though the free version may have some limitations to its features, if you're using it strictly for word processing the free version should suffice for your needs. Just remember, if you go that route you still have to create an account with Microsoft to use their free version of Word.
To use the paid version, Microsoft will charge you $7 or $10 a month (depending on what you get). So you'll be spending $84 to $100 a year—every year—for a product that Apple makes just as good (if not better) and offers for free.
Winner: Pages
In my opinion, both apps are unnecessarily bloated. However, Pages takes up slightly less space on your iPad than Word.
I admit I've always been partial to Microsoft Word, but I've grown to rely on Pages for all my iPad writing needs. It is my go-to writing app and as proof of its effectiveness, I even used it to write my first book, Saving Kennedy, containing my two short fiction works, The Visitor and Alibi Interrupted.
Has this review helped you? Let me know what you think; I look forward to your comments.

Great protected bike lanes are popping up in Washington DC (video)
Our friend Clarence over at Streetfilms went to the federal capital to have a look at some of the recent progress they've made building bike lanes, and he's found some great examples of protected ones that make life much better for cyclists. My favorite is the center-running bike lane down the middle of the iconic Pennsylvania avenue. If you can do that there, you should be able to fit bike lanes almost anywhere!
See for yourself how great it is:
There's also a great example of a protected bike lane down 1st Street in Washington DC. Green paint is great, but sometimes you need something more to keep cars clear, so they went with plastic poles and concrete dividers to great effect. Nothing too expensive, but I'm sure it'll make cyclists a lot safer, which will attract more cyclists who might not have dared to ride on un-protected lanes. Part of the goal is safety, but part of it is also to make the city more bike-friendly so that the number of cyclists increases, right?
See for yourself how they did it:
Washington DC might not be a shining example for others on all front (too many politicians in one spot has a tendency to create a strange environment...), but this type of bike infrastructure is one thing that more cities should copy. The goal is to adapt the ideas to local conditions, though. For example, the center-running lanes on Pennsylvania avenue might not work somewhere else where there wasn't a tram running in the center before... But there's usually a way to find space for bikes if the will to do so is there. Most other cities have unused train tracks that could be converted, or the have too much parking in downtown areas (encouraging more people to drive there, creating congestion) and could convert some of it to protected bike lanes.

Burning Inside History:
Burning Inside was formed in the Winter of 1995 by Richard Christy (drums and keyboards), and Steve Childers (guitar), in Springfield, Missouri. Richard and Steve played together previously in a band called Public Assassin, but left to form Burning Inside because they wanted to make faster and more technical music. Next bass player/singer Jamie Prim joined the band and Burning Inside recorded a demo which was very well received by the underground. Michael Estes (who was in a band with Jamie beforehand) , after hearing the unique sound of Burning Inside, auditioned and become Burning Inside's second guitarist. With Mike's help the band moved to Florida in the spring of 1996. Since the beginning, Burning Inside's goal was to have their own sound, super heavy and technical, yet melodic. Burning Inside's debut "The Eve Of The Entities" was released by Still Dead Productions in the late 1990's and their second album "Apparition" was released by Crash Music in 2001.

JERUSALEM — Amnesty International published a report early Wednesday accusing Israel of war crimes in its 50-day war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip this summer, saying its military showed "callous indifference" to civilians in airstrikes on homes that felled entire families.
The report also said that "Palestinian armed groups fired thousands of indiscriminate rockets and mortar rounds into civilian areas of Israel," suggesting violations of international law by both sides.
But virtually all of its 49 pages were devoted to eyewitness testimony and expert analysis of weaponry in eight Israeli attacks that killed 104 people, 59 of them under 18. Amnesty found evidence of military targets in at least four of the cases, but argued that these were nonetheless "grossly disproportionate."
Among the victims, the report said, were people who had fled their homes after Israeli warnings of danger there, and were staying with relatives after having found no space at United Nations shelters. Though the Israeli military phoned Gaza residents or dropped lighter missiles — called "a knock on the roof" — to warn of some impending bombings, Amnesty said it found no such notice given in these cases.
An Israeli military spokesman said all eight cases were among more than 90 under after-action review by the military itself, which has moved more swiftly than in previous conflicts to conduct criminal investigations and other probes into soldiers' and commanders' conduct. Israel's foreign ministry said in a statement that the report "accuses Israel of wrongdoing while producing no evidence" and "ignores documented war crimes perpetrated by Hamas," the militant Islamist movement that dominates Gaza.
Israeli officials said during and since the bloody battle that Hamas endangered civilians and committed the war crime of human shielding by conducting military operations from homes as well as hospitals, mosques and schools, including several run by the United Nations where weapons were found.
"The report does not mention the word terror in relation to Hamas or other armed Palestinian groups, nor mention tunnels built by Hamas to infiltrate Israel and perpetrate terror attacks," read the statement from Israel's embassy in London, where the Amnesty report was released. "By ignoring the nature of the enemy Israel faced in Gaza — a terror group recognized as such by the European Union, the United States and others — Amnesty's report fails to contribute to the important discussion needed to solve the conflict.
"Instead," the statement adds, "Amnesty serves as a propaganda tool for Hamas and other terror groups."
Assessing the Damage and Destruction in Gaza
The damage to Gaza's infrastructure from the current conflict is already more severe than the destruction caused by either of the last two Gaza wars.
During the 50-day war, six civilians, including a 4-year-old boy, were killed on the Israeli side, along with 67 soldiers. Nearly 2,200 Palestinians, including more than 500 children, were killed in Gaza, according to the United Nations; some 100,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed.
"The repeated, disproportionate attacks on homes indicate that Israel's current military tactics are deeply flawed and fundamentally at odds with international humanitarian law," said Philip Luther, director of Amnesty's Middle East and North Africa program, said in a statement accompanying the report, which was released just after midnight.
Israel on Tuesday reopened its crossing points into Gaza, two days after closing them in response to a rocket having been fired from Gaza into Israel on Friday night, a violation of the Aug. 26 cease-fire. Robert Serry, the United Nations special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, announced Tuesday that its reconstruction effort had begun in Gaza, with 700 families being allowed to purchase materials to repair their homes by Monday evening.
But Robert Turner, the Gaza director of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, told reporters Tuesday that he did not yet see a functioning Palestinian government on the ground, and reiterated concerns over Israel's continued restrictions on Gaza travel and trade. Reuters quoted Mr. Turner, whose agency runs education, health and other services for 70 percent of Gaza's population, as saying, "If we do not have political stability, I think if we do not have a national Palestinian government, I think if we do not have at least an easing of the blockade, yes, there will be another war."
The Amnesty report, the most detailed yet on the war by an international group, calls for both Israel and the Palestinians to join the International Criminal Court so it can prosecute cases from this summer, and urges Israel to participate in an inquiry by the United Nations Human Rights Council that it has so far boycotted out of concern for predetermined bias.
Amnesty said its employees had been barred by Israel from entering Gaza since 2012, and thus relied on two fieldworkers who visited the site of each bombing multiple times. Military experts enlisted by Amnesty reviewed photographs and videos from the sites, according to the report, and surmised that 1- and 2-ton bombs were used.
The bulk of the report comprises survivors' accounts.
"We couldn't hear the kids, their voices had completely gone — that's when I realized they were all dead," Khalil Abed Hassan Ammar, a doctor, is quoted as saying about the July 20 strike on his home in Gaza City. "I only recognized Ibrahim, my eldest child, when I saw his leg and the shoes he was wearing. I had bought them for him two days before."
The Israeli foreign ministry questioned why the fieldworkers who conducted the interviews were not named in the report, and their credibility "never questioned." It said "extreme bias" was displayed in Amnesty's recommendations.
"Hamas is not mentioned, as if the group has no responsibility for the bloodshed; meanwhile, the report dismisses Israel's security challenges," the statement said.

Readers interested in my four scenarios on the relationship between international humanitarian law and international human rights law who want to know how I would decide them, as well as those who've read coverage of the Serdar Mohammed v. MoD judgment, might also be interested in two companion articles I recently posted on SSRN. The first is called Extraterritorial Derogations from Human Rights Treaties in Armed Conflict. In a nutshell it argues that states can and should resort to derogations from human rights treaties in extraterritorial situations, for example that the UK could have derogated (but chose not to) from the ECHR with respect to situations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The second piece is entitled The Lost Origins of Lex Specialis: Rethinking the Relationship between Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law and it mainly deals with the genesis of the lex specialis principle and analyses the three different conceptions thereof. The abstracts are below the fold, and comments are as always welcome.
M. Milanovic, 'Extraterritorial Derogations from Human Rights Treaties in Armed Conflict, in N. Bhuta (ed), Collected Courses of the Academy of European Law (Oxford University Press, forthcoming), available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2447183
This article examines one specific question: whether states are allowed to derogate from human rights treaties for situations which take place outside their territories, especially in armed conflict. Can, for instance, the United Kingdom derogate from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) or the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) for events that take place in Afghanistan and involve its armed forces deployed there, to the extent that the ECHR and the ICCPR apply in Afghanistan?
The wider the geographical scope of human rights treaties, the more relevant the question of extraterritorial derogations. Such derogations might start looking increasingly appealing to states, especially those who have initially miscalculated in arguing that the treaties do not apply at all, and avoided derogating in the fear that doing so would count as an admission that the treaties do apply. Derogations have the potential of bringing both clarity and flexibility to the applicable legal framework, especially in situations of armed conflict and with regard to possible interactions between human rights and international humanitarian law (IHL).
Contrary to the dicta in some of the decisions of the House of Lords and the UK Supreme Court, the article argues that extraterritorial derogations are not only permissible, but may even be necessary and desirable, as part of price worth paying for the treaties' extensive and effective application outside states' boundaries. It also elaborates on the relationship between derogations and the various different manifestations of the lex specialis principle.
M. Milanovic, 'The Lost Origins of Lex Specialis: Rethinking the Relationship between Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law,' in J. Ohlin (ed), Theoretical Boundaries of Armed Conflict and Human Rights (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming), available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2463957
In this paper I try to outline the current state of the debate on the relationship or interaction between international human rights law (IHRL) and international humanitarian law/law of armed conflict (IHL). The topic is well-worn and I will not recapitulate the basics. I will rather try to set out as clearly as possible the extant points of controversy, their driving factors and the logical order in which they should be addressed in order to advance the debate further. After providing a broad overview of the debate, I will look at one of its key concepts – the lex specialis principle. I will show that, despite the Latin veneer of antiquity, scholars have generally started using lex specialis to describe the relationship between IHL and IHRL only after the ICJ's 1996 Nuclear Weapons advisory opinion.
Rather than being some kind of unassailable orthodoxy, lex specialis is a principle whose effects and utility need to be critically re-examined. Indeed, we are dealing not with one, but with three distinct versions of the principle, which rest on different rationales and produce different consequences. In that regard, there have been enthusiasts and sceptics even since the issue of the relationship between IHL and IHRL has arisen, and that is a good and natural thing. I do not propose to somehow fully reconcile these two camps, although I would submit that the differences between them are not as stark as is sometimes thought. But the main prerequisite for the debate to move forward is that we speak a common language and have conceptual clarity, and advancing this clarity is precisely this paper's primary purpose.

Monday Musings on This 'N That
When you were a youngster did you think your parents had a favorite child?
Do you have a favorite among your own children?
What a question for any parent! I don't know of a Mom or Dad who would admit to having a favorite child, even if they secretly did. Some kids feel their parents have a favorite because of the way the parents treat children differently. Kids think they can know which sibling gets the most toys, the best bike, the most attention for their achievements.
Some think a favorite child is definitely a "spoiled" child. It seems some parents may lean toward one or the other of their children at times. But being spoiled/favorite and know it sometimes causes a child to be arrogant, at times a bully, and at best a pest to the other kids in the family.
I am an only child so I have no problem with any of the above. No, as an only child I found myself in constant presence of adults, especially in the evenings. But I had dozens of cousins. Yes, dozens: my daddy came from a family of eleven children and my mother had four siblings. Having all those cousins helped me to learn how to socialize with my peers. I've known some "onlies" who can't because an only never has the opportunity within their own home to learn social skills with their peers.
Back to parents having favorites: in the Bible, Romans 2:11 tells us that God doesn't have favorites among His children. What God will do for one of His children, He will do for all of them. The differences in our experiences with God are in direct relation to our faith in Him: the closer we get to Him, the more of Him we get. God does not desert His children, but sometimes His children do stray away from Him. Thank God that He is always pleased when a straying child returns to Him.
Therefore, we can hold to the truth that God has no favorite child.
"For God does not show favoritism."
Romans 2:11, NIV

Nowadays people are getting more and more creative about how they pop the question. In 2015, we wrote about a man who proposed to his girlfriend every day for a year, and last year we wrote about a man who asked his girlfriend to marry him with the help of their newborn. Thanks to social media, these stories make their way around the world, inspiring couples everywhere to up their game.
The latest in creative engagements stars Anna and her boyfriend Terry. Only for them, the surprise had nothing to do with the actual proposal, and everything to do with the ring.
Terry had previously given Anna a necklace in 2015, crafted with Huon pine, a wood native to Tasmania, to celebrate their one-year anniversary.
After she received the gift, Anna wore it every day for a year and a half without knowing Terry had hidden an engagement ring inside of it.
In November 2016, the couple traveled to Smoo Cave in Scotland where Terry finally revealed the secret about the necklace.
Prior to the big proposal, Terry asked to borrow the necklace so he could photograph it on some rocks. Unbeknownst to Anna, he then went to break the seal on the necklace that had concealed the engagement ring.
When he went to give the necklace back to her, he got down on one knee and asked Anna to marry him.
And she said yes!
Terry told HuffPost that it took Anna a few seconds to realize what had happened with the necklace, "It actually took her a couple of moments to understand that the ring had been in the necklace the entire time since I gave it to her." he stated. "She flipped out ― 'Wait, it's been in there the entire time?! I could have lost it.'"
Terry explains that the decision to propose at Smoo Cave was also significant because they had talked about visiting there when they first met. Furthermore, he stated that "smoo" comes from an old Norse word for "hiding place" so it tied in nicely with the secret engagement ring.
Whether there will be any surprises at the wedding remains to be seen. The engaged couple are currently saving up to buy a house and hope to host their wedding there.

The organisers of Wimbledon will be focusing on out-of-competition drug testing during the buildup to tennis' most prestigious event later this year. The stars will need to undergo a drug test at any point in time. It may happen before the event or the tests could be carried out during the course of the All-England Championships as well.
The players, who will be participating in Wimbledon 2016, will be undergoing stiff drug testing procedures.
With Maria Sharapova testing positive, the drug problem has come to the fore in the tennis world. Sharapova admitted last month that she had tested positive for meldonium, which was banned by WADA.
Wimbledon announced that they want to do their bit in the fight against drugs. However, the organisers of the mega event have not revealed any further details regarding this programme.
International Tennis Federation (ITF) have also confirmed that the Wimbledon authorities have discussed with them and wants to focus solely on out-of-competition drug testing as it is the best way to catch the offenders. ITF also added that extra tests will be carried out by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) ahead of the event.
"In addition to the TADP In-Competition testing, the AELTC (All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club) will be implementing additional anti-doping measures for The Championships 2016, the details of which are required to remain confidential," Wimbledon said in a statement to Reuters.
"As all anti-doping testing is carried out independently of the tournament organisers, we are not able to comment on the level of testing which will take place other than to say that we are fully supportive of a comprehensive in-competition and out-of-competition testing programme."

Lolo Soetoro, Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro, baby Maya Soetoro, and 9 year old Barry Soetoro.This registration document, made available on Jan. 24, 2007, by the Fransiskus Assisi school in Jakarta, Indonesia, shows the registration of Barack Obama under the name Barry Soetoro made by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro.Name: Barry SoetoroReligion: IslamNationality: IndonesianHow did this little INDONESIAN Muslim child - Barry Soetoro, (A.K.A. Barack Obama) get around the issue of nationality to become President of the United States of America ?PART 2:In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama's qualifications for the presidency, the group "Americans for Freedom of Information" has released copies of President Obama's college transcripts from Occidental College ..The transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as aforeign student from Indonesia while an undergraduate at the school. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California . The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify for this scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship.This document provides the smoking gun that many of Obama's detractors have been seeking - that he is NOT a natural-born citizen of the United States - necessary to be President of these United States . Along with the evidence that he was first born in Kenya , here we see that there is no record of him ever applying for US citizenship..Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obama's campaign spending. This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records.Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still on-going but that the final report will be provided to the U.S. attorney general, Eric Holder.Mr. Holder has refused comment on this matter.LET OTHER FOLKS KNOW THIS NEWS - THE MEDIA WON'T!

I bought a new Chevy Avalanche and returned to the dealer yesterday because I couldn't get the radio to work.
The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated.
'Nelson,' the salesman said to the radio. The radio replied, 'Ricky or Willie?'
'Willie!' he continued and 'On The Road Again' came from the speakers.
Then he said, 'Ray Charles!', and in an instant ' Georgia On My Mind' replaced Willie Nelson. I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time I'd say, 'Beethoven,'I'd get beautiful classical music, and if I said, 'Beatles,' I'd get one of their awesome songs.
Yesterday, some guy ran a red light and nearly creamed my new truck, but I swerved in time to avoid him.
I yelled, 'Ass Hole!'

On Thursday, 12 November, as Obama was arriving in Chicago, there was a terrible traffic jam in downtown Chicago because of people demonstrating against Obama -- right on Obama's very own turf! Below are 18 photographs of the demonstrators and their placards and signs.
But the news was never aired on any of the major networks: ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, or MSNBC. Wonder why?
Pay particular attention to the big pale blue placard on photo #3 as well as the multi-colored sign on photo #10!
Anyone who has been to Chicago will recognize the downtown area where the demonstration took place.
The backlash has started. People, including, and especially those who voted for him in November 2008, are finally awakening and realizing the terrible mistake in electing Obama, and that America does not really need nor want Obama and/or his promise of "change".

Subject: FW: A forward of a ugly accounting of speaking truth to action-- it's sickening....
NEARLY $3 TRILLION IN TAX INCREASESWhen he released his new budget proposal on February 1, President Barack Obama asserted that the government "simply cannot continue to spend as if deficits don't have consequences; as if waste doesn't matter; as if the hard-earned tax dollars of the American people can be treated like Monopoly money; as if we can ignore this challenge for another generation." Yet the President's new budget does exactly that -- raising taxes by $3 trillion and federal spending by $1.6 trillion over the next ten years. If enacted, this budget would increase the 2010 deficit to more than $1.5 trillion, and leave a deficit of more than $1 trillion even after an assumed return to peace and prosperity. Overall, the President's budget would double the national debt over the next decade, says Brian M. Riedl, an economist with the Heritage Foundation. President Obama's budget would: * Permanently expand the federal government by 3 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) over 2007 pre-recession levels. * Raise taxes on all Americans by nearly $3 trillion over the next decade.* Raise taxes for 3.2 million small businesses and upper-income taxpayers by an average of $300,000 over the next decade.* Borrow 42 cents for each dollar spent in 2010.* Run a $1.6 trillion deficit in 2010--$143 billion higher than the recession-driven 2009 deficit.* Leave permanent deficits that top $1 trillion as late as 2020. * Dump an additional $74,000 per household of debt into the laps of our children and grandchildren. * Double the publicly held national debt to over $18 trillion. A nearly $1 trillion tax increase is reserved for couples earning more than $250,000 and individuals earning more than $200,000, says Riedl. Beginning in 2011, the President's budget will increase these Americans' taxes by: * Raising the top two income tax brackets from 33 percent to 36 percent, and from 35 percent 39.6 percent ($364 billion). * Raising capital gains and dividends tax rates from 15 percent to 20 percent ($105 billion). * Phasing out personal exemptions and limiting itemized deductions ($208 billion).* Reducing the value of tax deductions by approximately one-fourth ($291 billion).

Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest private Employer, and most speak English. 6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the World. 7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger & Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only 15 years. 8. During this same period, 31 supermarket chains sought bankruptcy. 9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world. 10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had 5 Years ago. 11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur At a Wal-Mart store. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 Billion.) 12. 90% of all Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart.

When will the American People get fed up and do something, or is it too late...
This is a subject close to my heart. Do you know that we have adult students at the school where I teach who are not US citizens and who get the PELL Grant, which is a federal grant (no pay back required) plus other federal grants to go to school?
One student from the Dominican Republic told me that she didn ' t want me to find a job for her after she finished my program, because she was getting housing from our housing departmentand she was getting a PELL Grant which paid for her total tuition and books, plus money leftover.
She was looking into WAIT which gives students a CREDIT CARD for gas to come to school, and into CARIBE which is a special program (check it out - I did) for immigrants and it pays for child care and all sorts of needs while they go to sch ool or training. The one student I just mentioned told me she was not going to be a US Citizen because she plans to return to the Dominican Republic someday and that she ' loves HER country. '
I asked her if she felt guilty taking what the US is giving her and then not even bothering to become a citizen and she told me that it doesn ' t bother her, because that is what the money is there for!
I asked the CARIBE administration about their program and if you ARE a US citizen, you don ' t qualify for their program. And all the while, I am working a full day, my son-in-law works more than 60 hours a week, and everyone in my family works and pays for our education.
Something is wrong here. I am sorry but after hearing that they want to sing the National Anthem in Spanish - enough is enough. That ' s a real slap in the face. Nowhere did they sing it in Italian, Polish, Irish (Celtic), German or any other language because of immigration. It was written by Francis Scott Key and should be sung word for word the way it was written. The news broadcasts even gave the translation -- not even close.
I don ' t care whether this offends someone or not but this is MY COUNTRY. IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY SPEAK UP -- please pass this along.
I am not against immigration -- I just expect immigrants to come through like everyone else. Get a sponsor; have a place to lay your head; have a job; pay your taxes, live by the rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE as all other immigrants have in the past -- and GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Subject: FW: The Fall of Barack Obama; Mortimer Zuckerman, had this to say
The Fall of Barack Obama
Written by Paul R. Hollrah In a January 20, 2010 Editorial the Editor in Chief of U. S. News & World Report, Mortimer Zuckerman, had this to say: "Obama's ability to connect with voters is what launched him. But what has surprised me is how he has failed to connect with the voters since he's been in office. He's had so much overexposure. You have to be selective. He was doing five Sunday shows. How many press conferences? And now people stop listening to him. He's lost his audience. He has not rallied public opinion. He has plunged in the polls more than any other public figure since we've been using polls. He's done everything wrong. Well, not everything, but the major things. I don't consider it a triumph. I consider it a disaster." And that's what his friends are saying about him. As the boy president occupied the White House on January 20, 2009 it was predictable that his presidency would last a year, at most, because the things he promised and the things he stood for were so uniquely un-American. Looking back over his year in office, any reasonably precocious fourth grader could make a cogent argument in opposition to nearly everything he's done. In fact, his policies have been so extreme and so far outside the mainstream that he was destined to achieve the most spectacular fall from grace of any American president in history. It was easy to see him serving out the final three years of his term as a virtual exile in the White House. Afraid to venture out among any but the most rabid partisans. Seeing his most ambitious initiative, healthcare reform, die in the flames of the Massachusetts Massacre, Obama made a hastily-planned "sortie" to Ohio for yet another Bush-bashing, self-aggrandizing stump speech on job creation. It was vintage Obama. full of left wing hyperbole and planted questions from the Kool-Ade drinkers in the hand-picked audience. But there were just two things wrong with it: 1) Almost everything he said was either wrong or an outright lie, and 2) He is so overexposed that no one in the television audience really wanted to see him.Obama Kool-Ade drinkers in the media, and elsewhere, like to describe Obama as a "very bright man, a true intellectual (compared to George W. Bush and Sarah Palin, of course)." If that is the case, why has he demonstrated such a great inability to learn from his failures? The strident words and the in-your-face attitude of his Ohio speech were proof that he has totally misread the meaning of the Scott Brown victory in Massachusetts . Whatever hopes and dreams he had for his time in the White House, whatever grandiose plans he had for transforming the United States from a constitutional republic with a free market economy into a socialist dictatorship with a centrally planned economy, were all lost onTuesday, January 19, 2010. One day short of a full year in office. Yet, he appears to have learned nothing from the experience. Comedian George Gobel once asked, rhetorically, "Did you ever get the feeling that the world was a tuxedo and you were a pair of brown shoes?" In the context of 21st century American politics, and assuming that he has any capacity at all for honest self-examination, Obama must be feeling today very much like a pair of brown shoes at a black tie soiree. When a politically naive and totally inexperienced young black man, with a glib tongue and an exceptional ability to read words convincingly from a teleprompter, announced that he was ready to serve as President of the United States, liberals and Democrats saw it as a perfect opportunity to expiate whatever white guilt they may have felt. Which was apparently considerable among those on the political left. It didn't seem to bother them that, as one pundit has remarked, "every time he walks into a room he is the least experienced and the least qualified man in the room." Nevertheless, his friends in the worldwide socialist movement and the international banking community figured out how to smuggle hundreds of millions of dollars in illegal campaign funds into the country, the black community rallied to his banner, and American liberals and the mainstream media jumped on board the bandwagon.Together, they made it happen for him. But now, just one year later, Obama appears destined to become the unhappiest man in American politics. unhappier than even former Senator John Edwards, who runs a close second, and former president Bill Clinton. Clinton will be the third unhappiest man because, after capturing the big prize, he frittered away whatever chance he had of ever being compared favorably with Franklin D. Roosevelt as one of the 20th century's greatest Democratic presidents. Not only was he a politician of unusual skill and insight, he was widely known as a policy "wonk" among policy wonks and he had the drive and the personal charm to be loved and respected around the world. Unfortunately, he was never able to put the public trust at the top of his priority list. Instead, he surrounded himself with a large cadre of trusted enablers who allowed him to conduct himself as if he were, not the President of the United States , but the class stud on an extended spring break in Acapulco . Now that he's been out of office for nearly a decade and he's married to the current Secretary of State, he spends his days trying to find something useful to do without calling an undue amount of attention to himself. Having lied so shamelessly to the American people, having perjured himself in a court of law, having turned the Oval Office into a sexual playpen, and having suffered the humiliation of impeachment, he's smart enough to know that he has little reputation left to protect. So in order to protect whatever legacy remains, he walks a tightrope every day. and he has many more years to walk it without falling off. Former Senator John Edwards is destined to be the second unhappiest man in American politics because he will be known forever as the most thoroughly despised scumbag in the political arena. A trial lawyer, Edwards amassed a $60 million fortune by winning large jury awards against doctors, hospitals, and corporations. His specialty was cases in which children were born with cerebral palsy, which he blamed on doctors who had waited too long to perform C-sections, a claim that doctors and medical researchers have described as "junk science." Then, like Obama, he decided that his experience in the courtroom, his glib tongue, and his one term in the U. S. Senate qualified him to be President of the United States . He entered the 2004 Democratic presidential primaries, raising an incredible amount of money for a newcomer to elective office. most of it raised illegally by "bundlers" in plaintiffs' law firms across the country. He was unsuccessful in his quest for the Democratic nomination but was selected by his Senate colleague, John Kerry, as his running mate.Two years later, in 2006, Edwards met a young blonde film producer, Rielle Hunter, and embarked on a love affair with her. On February 27, 2008, Hunter gave birth to a daughter, for whom Edwards has consistently denied paternity. until now. Taking into account that all of this was happening while his wife was waging a long battle with breast cancer, Edwards now has the well-deserved reputation of being the sleaziest of the sleazy. He is so universally despised that, if he is on the lookout for a friend, he might as well resign himself to getting a dog. or moving in with O. J. Simpson. Terry Moran, host of ABC's This Week, put it all in perspective. He said, "What's interesting to note is that Edwards' latest admission (that he is the father of Hunter's child) came while he was in Haiti . As if the people of that sad place didn't have enough problems." Clearly, the one thing Clinton and Edwards share that places them near the top of our list is their sexual peccadilloes, a shortcoming that Obama does not appear to share with them. at least from what we know so far. What we do know about Obama is that, since his teen years, he has been mentored by, gravitated toward, and surrounded by the most dangerous sort of America-hating socialists, communists, and Marxists. from Frank Marshall Davis and Saul Alinsky to Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, to Rev. Jeremiah Wright, George Soros, and countless radical left college professors. What destines Obama for the top spot on the list of unhappiest American politicians. aside from the failure of his economic recovery program, the failure of his radical cap-and-trade proposal, his failed attempt to give labor bosses unprecedented power to intimidate blue collar workers, and his ill-fated attempt at healthcare reform. is the fact that he carries on his shoulders the hopes and aspirations of every black child in America. It is unfortunate that, because he is so far outside the American mainstream, and because he carries so much hatred in his heart for the country he seeks to lead, his failures will be viewed by generations of black children, not as the failure of a black socialist attempting to bring down a constitutional republic, but simply as the failure of a black man. A man can fail in the eyes of his countrymen and still be dearly loved by those closest to him. But in Obama's case, his wife and his two daughters will be there to suffer every agonizing step of his fall along with him. And for the rest of his life, each time he looks into their eyes, and into the eyes of black people everywhere, he will see the crushing disappointment that his ill-fated attempt at national transformation has caused them. He will be the country's unhappiest man, living the rest of his life knowing that his daughters know that the whole world sees him as a failure. He is simply the wrong man, in the wrong job, in the wrong country, at the wrong time in history.

Last week's inflation data showed that pricing pressures are at their strongest point of the economic cycle. To us, these reports are much less alarming than their headline readings suggest.
While signs of price and wage pressures have been building, we believe the overall inflation environment may not prove as threatening as many investors fear. As shown in our LPL Chart of the Day, core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) is just now reaching policymakers' 2% target and remains below levels reached ahead of the last tightening cycle. On the income side, average hourly earnings rose 2.7% year over year in July, which is historically low considering the past five recessions started with wage growth in excess of 4.0%.
"We believe it's important for investors to look deeper into the inflation data," according to LPL Research Chief Investment Strategist John Lynch. "We maintain our emphasis on core PCE and wage growth, both of which have lagged policymakers' targets. Consequently, we look for the Fed to maintain its gradual pace of interest rate increases and balance sheet reduction."
Drilling down on consumer and producer prices helps to explain our views on core PCE and wage growth.
While the July core readings for both the Producer Price Index (PPI) and Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in at or near cycle highs, details underneath the headline numbers show evidence of price stability, not runaway inflation. Year over year growth of 2.7% growth in core PPI (excluding food and energy prices) was driven by primarily by increasing goods prices. However, service prices gained just 2.6% over the same period. Since services comprise approximately 80% of economic output, we will have to see more price growth from this segment of the economy before sustained pricing pressures become a concern.
Core CPI growth, at 2.4% year over year, was slightly above the peak of 2.3% achieved three times since 2008. However, in each of those instances, core readings declined below 2.0% over the ensuing 12 months, begging the question of whether peaks in core CPI this cycle are self-sustaining or self-correcting.
Overall, the data underlying the core readings for consumer and wholesale prices, along with subdued core PCE and tepid wage growth, suggest to us that there is ample time before inflationary price and wage pressures can weigh on economic output.

Bill Cheney, CUNA president/CEO, and Bill Mellin (above), president/CEO of the Credit Union Association of New York, helped more than 1,200 attendees kick off the Opening General Session of the 2013 America's Credit Union Conference (ACUC) Sunday evening.
CUNA's ACUC runs through Wednesday in New York City.
Mellin opened the conference by welcoming attendees to New York--the Empire State--and noting New York City has more than eight million residents and welcomes more than 50 million visitors annually. He also said that more than one-third of the city's residents were born abroad.
He mentioned the city's ethnic diversity manifested in neighborhoods such as Chinatown and Little Italy, and the fact that the city has 14,000 taxi cabs and the largest transportation system in the world. "Credit unions finance many taxi medallions [certificates to operate], which have an average value of $750,000," he said.
There are 98 credit unions in New York City, serving more than one million members, and 412 credit unions in New York State, serving five million people, Mellin said.
The opening session also featured keynoter Lt. Col. Robert Darling, a key adviser to the George W. Bush Administration during the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the U.S. Today, Cheney will bring credit unions up to date on the Don't Tax My Credit Union campaign and other critical credit union issues, as well as discuss the movement to Unite for Good, with goals of removing barriers, creating awareness, and fostering service to support the vision, "Americans choose credit unions as their best financial partner."
Today's keynote speaker, Malcolm Gladwell, author of four New York Times bestsellers and New Yorker staffer, will discuss his new book, "David vs. Goliath." The author has compared credit unions to David and banks to Goliath.

I just received word from Bobby Simoneaux, Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, that the EPA approved a Section 24C (special local need) for use of Dermacor X-100 in water-seeded rice in all 64 Louisiana parishes. This registration will expire on 2/6/2017. The purpose of this registration is to combat the recent detection of Mexican rice borer reproducing populations in western rice producing parishes of Louisiana. This registration is in addition to the existing Section 3 registration of Dermacor X-100 in dry-seeded rice.

Mexican rice borer is now present in Jeff Davis Parish, LA
Posted in Insect alerts, tagged Beauregard Parish, Calcasieu, Cameron Parish, euroma loftini, jeff-davis parish, mexican rice borer on October 31, 2011| Leave a Comment »
The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry reported that Mexican rice borer (MRB) male moths have now been collected in pheromone traps in Jeff Davis Parish. These traps were positioned near Iowa, Thornwell, and just south of Welsh. The list of parishes infested with MRB now includes Beauregard, Cameron, Calcasieu and Jeff Davis. So far larvae were confirmed only in Calcasieu parish west of Lake Charles. If you grow or scout cane or rice in any of these infested parishes I strongly urge you to spend time this winter studying the biology and management of the MRB. If you find a larvae or moth that resembles the MRB in rice, cane or other grasses, please get it to your local County Agent for confirmation of identification.
We have created a variety of resources to help in your training about the MRB.
LSU AgCenter scientists prepared a website: Early Management Considerations for Mexican Rice Borer in Louisiana Rice: Click here to read the article. Within the website you will find links to the MRB identification card and field notes and blog postings about the MRB.
We conducted an entomology training at the LSU AgCenter rice research station in Crowley on Sept 13, 2011. The MRB was the primary topic discussed at the training. The powerpoint files are posted at www.lsuagcenter.com. Click here to open the website.
The speakers were also video recorded. Here are the video links. Click on the link to open the file.

The Mexican rice borer continues to move into rice producing parishes of Louisiana. In response to a recent increase in trap catches this season, and the presence of larvae in a rice field in Calcasieu Parish, LSU AgCenter scientists met at the rice station to develop a plan of action. We discussed many management strategies. These strategies are detailed in an article for Louisiana Farm and Ranch and are also posted at http://www.lsuagcenter.com. J. M. Beuzelin, M. O. Way, T. E. Reagan, M. J. Stout, N. A. Hummel, and J. K. Saichuk: Early Management Considerations for Mexican Rice Borer in Louisiana Rice: Click here to read the article.
On another note, we wrote a couple of articles for the latest edition of Louisiana Agriculture magazine on rice water weevil management and rice/crawfish crop rotations. Click here to read the rice/crawfish article and here for the rice water weevil management article.
I hope your season is wrapping up nicely.
Rice insect update

I apologize that I haven't written in a while. We are moving into grant-writing "season". We are writing a few proposals that address new rice pest problems. You'll hear more about those projects if they are funded. Just a quick update on the latest news.
We continue to receive reports of rice stink bugs in second crop rice, in some cases with very severe pressure. You can read about this by clicking here. I also received a call today asking what the Re-entry interval for Tenchu 20SG is. The answer is 12 hours – so this means you can safely enter the field 12 hours after the insecticide application.
We have also had some reports of armyworms in crawfish rice – this is in the Evangeline Parish area. Remember that the only thing registered is BT type products, which are really only effective controlling smaller caterpillars. Any other insecticides have the possibility of killing crawfish stocked in the pond.
The LSU AgCenter Extension Entomology program has a couple of trainings this month.
Next week we have the annual advanced entomology training at the Rice Research Station in Crowley on Tuesday, Sept 13 from 9 am to noon. I hope you can join us. I'll start off by talking about early season pest problems (chinch bugs, bill bugs, sugarcane beetles, etc.). Then we will spend the rest of the training talking about Mexican rice borer management recommendations. Click here for a link to the agenda. We will have three speakers. Speakers will include Mo Way from Texas A&M AgriLife. Mo has studied the MRB for more than 20 years and has graciously agreed to share his insights with us. Dr. Julien Beuzelin (recent graduate of LSU) will talk about his research studying the biology, behavior and secondary host plants (weeds) of MRB. Finally, I will give a presentation on management recommendations and opportunities for cooperators to help us expand the pheromone trapping program. We will have plenty of time for questions from the audience.
Later this month, Gene Reagan and Mo Way are co-hosting their annual MRB site visit in Beaumont, Texas on September 27 to 28, 2011. This is an excellent opportunity to gain first-hand experience scouting for MRB in the field. You will also have the opportunity to learn about the latest research on this pest.
If you are using social media, you are welcome to join the LSU AgCenter Rice Entomology Facebook group page. This is a great place to keep up to date on the latest observations from the field and to share your knowledge with others. Click here to join the group. If you don't have a Facebook account, you'll need to create an account first and then request to join the group.
I look forward to seeing many of you at the meetings this month.

3rd Annual Advanced Rice Entomology Training – Sept 13, 2011 – Crowley, LA
Posted in Meeting Announcements, tagged lepidoptera, louisiana, LSU AgCenter, mexican rice borer, MRB, rice, training on August 10, 2011| 1 Comment »
The training was video-recorded and the streaming video has now been posted online. Click here to view part 1. Click here to view part 2.
The advanced rice entomology training is back by popular demand. I had initially hoped to focus this training on the diversity of insects that occur in a rice field (pest, beneficial, and just plain interesting aquatic insects). Unfortunately, the continued movement of the Mexican rice borer (MRB) into rice country is an important issue which trumps the aquatic entomology focus for this year. The LSU AgCenter is currently developing management recommendations and an educational program on the MRB. This information will be discussed at the training.
Below is the agenda for the training and some tentative speakers:
Date: September 13, 2011
Time: 9 am to noon with lunch served
Location: LSU AgCenter Rice Research Station Auditorium in the main building
9 am to 9:15 – registration
9:15-9:30 – welcome and purpose of training
9:30-10 – Secondary Pest Problems – early season issues and late-season stink bug management (Hummel)
10-10:30 – Mexican rice borer identification and host preferences (Speaker TBA)
10:30 – break
10:45 – 11 – Mexican rice borer insecticide management strategies (Speaker TBA)
11-11:30 – MRB management recommendations and monitoring strategies (Hummel)
11:30 – Discussion/questions
Noon – Sponsored lunch – provided by Toby McCown (Dupont), Josh Zaunbrecher (Syngenta) and John Bordlee (Valent)
This training will not be available to attend remotely, but it will be recorded for viewing at a later date.
This training will qualify for CCA CEU credits.
I hope to see you at the meeting.

What is Infrared Thermal Imaging?
Infrared is electromagnetic radiation emitted by the objects. Most objects unless at absolute zero, emit some form of infrared radiation. It has longer wavelength than visible light, thus it cannot be seen by a naked eye. Infrared Thermography is referred to detecting this heat signatures of various objects through an Infrared Thermal Camera. The camera detects the infrared light emitted from various objects and shows it as different colors (depending on the palette you choose). Colder objects are shown darker and the hot objects shown lighter.
Thermal maging Cameras can detect serious problems under right conditions that naked eye can't see, such as:
•Moisture intrusion
•Air duct leaks
•Non-existent or Inadequate Insulation
•Heating and Cooling losses
•Abnormal heat from an Electrical System
•Unwanted pets
•Plumbing leaks
Thermal maging Cameras can detect serious problems under right conditions that naked eye can't see, such as:
1. Infrared Camera does not have an x-ray vision. It cannot see through walls or objects. There have been instances when a Home Inspector was analyzing the house during Home Inspection and the people are scared and don't want to be in the field of view fearing it can see through the clothing. Well, it does not have any such ability. Again it does not have an x-ray vision.
2. The infrared camera does not emit any radiation. It just a devise to detect the infrared heat signatures emitted or reflected by any object.
3. It is not a magical device and require favourable conditions and great deal of skill and experience to interpret the findings. Furthermore, the findings required to be substantiated by Moisture Meter. There has been instances where due to lack of experience and knowledge people have given wrong diagnosis. Believe me its very easy to get excited and to be fooled by this devise. Always consult a professional trained and experienced in both building construction and thermal imaging for proper diagnosis.
4. It is not a digital camera (few models have digital camera built in as additional feature). It only detects the heat signatures emitted or reflected by the objects. Therefore, it needs DELTA T which is the difference in temperature between the objects or inside and outside of the building to display and work properly. When the difference in temperature between inside and outside is very low or almost equal it will not work properly.
Working with and operating Thermal Camera and interpreting its images require great deal of skill and experience. Its very easy to go wrong or arrive at the false diagnosis.

What can I tell you about Paul Mitchell's We. Are. Family? … What I won't do is introduce the characters or give you a detailed account of the plot. You should experience those things for yourself.

Freida Pinto and her beau Dev Patel were spotted out in the West End of London last night.
The Indian actress recently returned to London following her appearance at Elle's 18th Annual Women in Hollywood Tribute in LA.
She showed no signs of jet-lag wearing an Alexander McQueen frayed jacket from the Pre-Fall 2010 collection.
Her McQueen jacket was paired with an ivory silk top and black tapered pants.
She added a touch of colour to her look via her yellow shoulder bag.
A black hair band and grey peep-toes completed her date-night look.

I don't think we could have mixed 45 of the big 80 pound bags of quikrete to pour in the hole for the pier mount…
so we went with the haul away concrete and it worked really well.
Our friend and fellow astro buddy Gordon helped us, which made the job a lot easier even though we were running around like three year olds on too much sugar for a while.
The concrete had the consistency of pancake
batter (with rocks) or a "slump" of about 5. It was veeeery nice!

It was a first round in the new club and I got a "C" class player, young guy. I had White, he played Caro-Kann, here is the game. I went, of course, for Fantasy variation, having +1, =1 with higher rated. His 3rd move was a surprise and my answer Ne2 was played just once, with a draw. Crafty said something about losing a pawn after 7. Be2, with his pieces attacking pinned knight on c3, but Fritz says that I am better in all the lines. He made a couple of slow moves and I realized that I can attack his pawn on g7. It provoked f6, and I started to think that my position is better. I decided that opening the position a bit won't hurt and played exd5. After exchanges I missed 12. Bb5+ (instead of Bf4), he pointed at it after the game. He criticized his move Ng6 too, me and Fritz agree, but I don't like how Fritz plays O-O-O, I would destroy the guy after him castling queenside.
His king got stuck in the center and then after 18… Nge7 I found Bxe7, winning on the spot. He quickly took it by knight and after my fork shook his head with some expressions about his "quality" of play. The game ended after a few moves, I felt a bit uncomfortable and decided to do a post-mortem to explain a few things to the guy, it was useful for me too as I already mentioned above.

Caller: 33-year-old wife calling on behalf of 39-year-old husband
Problem: Addiction to alcohol
Seeking: Inpatient drug rehab facility
Reason(s): Even though the caller and her husband have been together for more than a decade, she is currently contemplating ending her marriage and both going their separate ways before there are any children involved. She is unsure whether treatment would cause her to want to stay with her husband, but at the very least, she wants to know that a person she cares greatly about is taking professional steps towards a better life. She said that her husband lost his job more than two years ago and since then has not been able to find a job to suit his qualifications. Unemployment benefits have run out and her husband is being turned down for jobs he is 'overqualified' for. Caller states that her husband begins drinking the moment he wakes up and she can't even remember the last time she saw him without a drink in his hand. Even though the drinking is problematic, she is also worried that him driving after he has been drinking is going to be a problem. Even though he has only been involved in an accident with a garbage can so far, she said, "it is only a matter of time before he hits someone or gets arrested for a DUI." She realizes that her husband getting away from his 'routine' would be best and is looking for an inpatient treatment center that has experience in dealing with individuals struggling with alcohol addiction.

The sermon was titled "Fatal Attraction." It was a cautionary message to those of us who were married members of the congregation to scrupulously observe the wedding vows we took according to God's holy ordinance:
To have and to hold each other from our wedding day forward. To forsake all others who might come between us. To love each other, comfort each other and keep each other, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, in health, until death do us part.
But wait, said the junior pastor. He had an additional vow to suggest to Christ- following couples – to assiduously avoid watching "Game of Thrones," the HBO series that begins its seventh season tonight.
I was taken aback by the pastor's pronouncement. I could understand him condemning adultery. I could understand him discouraging divorce. I could understand him warning of the evils of strips clubs and massage parlors.
But I could not fathom why the pastor saw fit to mention a lone TV show – "Game of Thrones" – as if it singular poses a clear and present threat to Godly marriages.
I don't think the pastor was impugning the morality of those in the congregation who have a taste for HBO's critically-acclaimed fantasy drama, which is based on the best-selling book series "A Song of Ice and Fire," authored by George R.R. Martin.
I imagine he simply thinks the violence and debauchery fairly regularly depicted on "Game of Thrones" is inappropriate entertainment for Christ followers.
That's where I believe the junior pastor erred – by turning a "disputable matter," as the Apostle Paul called it, into a matter of Christian doctrine.
Indeed, in 1 Corinthians, Paul writes: "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful for me, but not all things edify."
Now, let us not misconstrue what the apostle is saying. He is not suggesting it is acceptable in the eyes of God for him to disregard the Ten Commandments; that he can murder, commit adultery, practice idolatry (or whatever else he sees fit) with impunity.
No, what he is saying is that practices not addressed in the law, not set forth in the Bible, either directly or indirectly, are not verboten to Christ followers. However, he suggests, we would do well to avoid things that are neither helpful nor edifying.
The pastor obviously believes that "Game of Thrones" has no redeeming value to offer Christ followers. But in Romans the Apostle Paul advises: "Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters."
That's good advice not only to pastors, but the entire body of Christ. Let us remind ourselves that not all of us are mature Christians; that there are many among us whose faith is week.
We do not help them grow nearer to God and stronger in their faith by quarreling with them on disputable matters. So let us not look disapprovingly upon those who, say, patronize bars. Or those who listen to secular (rather than praise and worship) music on their Ipod. Or those looking forward to the new season of "Game of Thrones."
