Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (282 votes).
In short: Enjoyable day for all standardsDate of review: September 20, 2009
In short: Thanks for waiting!In full: Thanks to organisers for delaying the start after access was blocked on the main road into town (Well done Norwich Council!) lovely fast course and perfect conditions. I'll be back next year, but by train!Date of review: December 24, 2008
In short: Nice raceDate of review: December 13, 2008
In short: My local, first 'real' race, definitely do againIn full: This was my first real race and I didn't get a great time (although still a PB for me!) but I really loved it. The marshalls were wonderful and the support was brilliant. I am so impressed by the support of local people who stood in the cold for hours to cheer on even the slowest runners like me - they all deserve a medal too. I had high fives from kids and cheers from people of all ages which I really appreciated as my partner couldn't make it to cheer me on. In my opinion the Norfolk countryside this race goes through is wonderful (although I'm prehaps biased) and the organisers can't help the weather.Stop moaning about the car parks - it was wet, yes, but there were tractors on hand if you needed help, and given the reviews last year, you should have left extra time. It's clear from the website the race starts from the showground, so come prepared. Additionally, it's clear from the website the route doesn't go through the city, it's just that the city club runs it - again, look into the race before you enter.I will definitely be back next year, and chasing a new PB!Date of review: December 8, 2008
In short: My LocalIn full: Really liked the race - took 10mins off my PB, First time under 90mins :-)!Was slow to get parked - more parking options/entrances perhaps. Not a massive problem, just a slight delay to start time.Only issue I had was the lack of support.Marshalling way adequate.Don't understand why would you want to run with an Ipod in a race? Make conversation, it's not like you are running on your own!I'll be back next year!Definitely recommended(Goody Bag a bit Poor)Date of review: December 3, 2008
In short: Cold! Muddy! But a PB for me, so who cares?In full: I'd really worked hard for this one, thanks to a new "virtual coach"! (Thanks, PB!)I'm happy with the time of year - too many stories of hospital admissions from the June races of the past. Lovely medal, but rubbish goodie bag!Date of review: December 3, 2008
In short: Enjoyable race, hopefully see you next year.In full: Why is this race getting so much criticism?I live in West Yorkshire [among the lovely, runner-friendly hills], but stay in Norfolk regularly and always fit in a local race if possible. I entered this one months ago, knew it was November so didn't expect it to be tropical [still ok in just vest and shorts though]. I have 5 races before Jan 2nd, expect each one to be cold [2 are off road and will be done in snow or whatever] Read the bit about no ipods in the advance info booklet, "who cares?", ipods are ok for long lonely solitary winter training runs, not for racing. Also read the route before I entered so didn't expect to go near the city centre [believe there is a race in summer which does], but this was a good fast, flatish course. Only slight moan was access on and off car park, needs more gates open if poss, but I think this race may have grown quicker than the organisers thought it would. It's a massive task for a local club to organise a race on this scale, and City of Norwich AC did a brilliant job - well organised, well marshalled, adequate drinks stations, good information and communication before the day, [nice touch, announcing the finishers by name] Some improvements may be needed to get cars in and out of the showground more quickly, but I can't see why the race is attracting any other criticism. I travelled 200 miles and will do it again next year. All in all, as a club runner doing 40 or so races a year, I think the organisers did a great job and would like to see this one go from strength to strength. Date of review: December 3, 2008
In short: Thank you for an excellent day In full: I just can't believe how some people come on here and moan about the slightest thing. I bet they've never organised a race themselves. It's no surprise that this race attracted over 2,500 (I think) entries and is BARR gold graded. The medal and t-shirt were excellent, the chip timing arrangements were really impressive, the marshals and people at the water stations were just so encouraging. And you can't blame Norwich AC for the soggy car parks. Just lighten up and give credit where it's due, please!! Date of review: December 2, 2008
In short: Brrrr! I'm getting the feeling I must be a fair-weather racer, and am running our of supporters who are prepared to brave 2-3 hours without a warm pub to retreat to!!In full: "City of Norwich", eh? I think not!Norwich is an atractive city, but we saw none of it, as the closest we got was several miles to the west of it, beyond the bypass.Instead, just a cold, desolate showground, followed by featureless country lanes full of puddles, and an anti-climactic finish to look forward to.After a delayed start I was losing the will to bother come the second lap. Worst time by a long way.And what was there for supporters?Why call it a City race when it isn't?I wonder Norwich - any chance we can try running through the centre, where I'm sure the local support would be fantastic, and help motivate those of us daft enough to run at this time of year?(Start and finish at Carrow Road, perhaps? Just a thought....?)Date of review: December 2, 2008
In short: Poor organisation prior to race start - confusion over car parking, no clear signposting on the show ground itself and late startingDate of review: December 2, 2008

The fellows behind Harrison's on Third in Victorian Village have taken their mix of sports and food to the Northwest Side, near Upper Arlington.
Harrison's on Kenny opened on June 2 at 4510 Kenny Rd., formerly Brewsky's Sports Bar.
Co-owners Tim Hollingsworth, Jim Burden and John Neutzling say they're thrilled to be in the neighborhood.
"It's close to home. We all live in Upper Arlington," Neutzling said.
The trio opened Harrison's on Third five years ago, in the midst of the Great Recession. Despite the slow economy, the sports-themed restaurant and bar has done well. They attribute that to luck, planning and that, "In good times and in bad times, people drink," Neutzling said with a laugh.
Business was going well enough that they wanted to open another restaurant, and they looked at spaces for about 18 months. They didn't have their heart set on another Harrison's.
"We wanted to expand, and we were struggling with names," Neutzling said. "Then, we thought Harrison's on Third is doing well, so we should build our brand."
Although opening in their home environs always has been appealing, it seemed more of a pipe dream than a possibility. It's hard to find locations in or near the inner-ring suburb, which has limited commercial space, "so we were very excited when this one opened up," he said.
When the former Brewsky's became available, they knew they could "fit everything we wanted to do," Neutzling said.
The menu is like the one at Harrison's on Third, with an emphasis on pizza, wings, burgers, salads, wraps and sandwiches. The wings are fresh, never frozen, and "We update the menu quarterly so we can make sure we have what customers like," Neutzling said.
The two restaurants' menus eventually might diverge, but for now they are the same.
The 5,000-square-foot space is larger than Harrison's on Third and includes a jukebox, a private party room and a back room with three pool tables that also can be used as a private party space.
The renovation didn't take long, but it was involved.
"We pretty much gutted the whole place and put in a new bar, new floor, new decor, new TVs, and did a lot of work to update the kitchen," he said.
Harrison's on Kenny is near other restaurants, such as the Honey Dip Diner and Iacono's, but the area is not necessarily known as a nightlife hub.
Neutzling hopes Harrison's will change that.
An Average Joe's Pub and Grill opened down the street last year. "Us moving in and Average Joe's down the street can make the area a destination," he said. He acknowledged that it's competition, " But I think it will bring more people to that area of town."
As for the grand plan, "We're just taking it one at a time. We'll see how things go, but we would like to open a few more," Neutzling said.
Harrison's on Kenny is open daily from 11 a.m. to 2:30 a.m.
Off the menu
• Hinkley's, a Southern-themed fine-dining restaurant, has opened at 318 E. 5th St. in the former Doc Henderson's spot in Marysville. The restaurant is open from 4 to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 4 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. For more information, go to www.hinkleysoh.com or call 937-553-9030.

See our exhibit case of resources related to the history of women police officers and the International Association of Women Poice in the Library's Niederhoffer Lounge, lower level.
A brief history of women police officers from 1845 to the 1970s
Female police officers have come a long way since the days of women police matrons. In the mid-19th century, women in law enforcement were limited to caring for women inmates and did not have the authority to make arrests. But the 20th century brought around incredible progress.
The first policewomen
Among the first policewomen, two stand out. In 1908, Lola Baldwin of Portland, Oregon was sworn in with an official badge, thereby becoming the first policewoman (Myers, 1995, p. 22; Duffin, 2010, p. 28). She had been working on behalf of unwed mothers and prisoners and in 1909 convinced the city council of Portland to establish the Department of Public Safety for the Protection of Young Girls and Women, which she directed.
Others contend that the honor of becoming the first policewoman goes to Alice Stebbins Wells of Los Angeles (Higgins, 1951, p. 824). She was given the authority to arrest suspects, was responsible for the supervision of dance halls, skating rinks, penny arcades and theaters, and maintained a bureau for women seeking advice. Wells would go on to make a strong impact nationally as she toured and spoke on the value of introducing women as police officers in many local communities. In 1915, the National Association of Policewomen organized with Ms. Stebbins Wells as the first president. The objectives of the association included disseminating information on the work of women police and seeking better training and higher educational standards.
Professional women police
By the mid-20th century, another star among women police had risen. Lois Lundell Higgins was a Chicago policewoman who headed the Crime Prevention Bureau in Chicago during the 1950s and 1960s. She had a charismatic personality, was well educated with a master's degree in Social Work, and was acclaimed for her work in crime prevention, particularly among juveniles. In 1956, Ms. Higgins and other policewomen re-established the International Association of Policewomen but renamed it the International Association of Women Police or IAWP.* Membership was limited to women who were sworn police officers, and biannual conferences were held starting in 1958. Ms. Higgins became the association's first president, a position she held until 1964. By the 1950s, women were starting to be assigned to investigative and undercover roles like their male colleagues. It was a time of transition—Ms. Higgins, for instance, was not in favor of women officers having roles expanded beyond focusing on troubled women and juveniles. The loss of women's bureaus was also a contentious issue during this decade because it resulted in a temporary stagnation of women rising in rank; on the other hand, policewomen were becoming more integrated into police work previously done only by men (Hassell, Archbold, and Schulz, 2011, p. 24).
Exhibit in Niederhoffer Lounge
"Breaking the Brass Ceiling"
Police departments were still appointing their first female officers during the 1950s and 1960s. By 1959, women officers in New York numbered 243 but only constituted 1% of the force. Progress was slow as civil service promotion for NYC policewomen did not occur until the 1960s. By 1969, there were no longer separate entry requirements for male and female officers, but there continued to be discrepancies in salaries for years.
The modern era began during the 1970s when women were being accepted as police officers, not just policewomen (Hassell, et al., 2011, p. 128). "…The policewoman of the 1970s made greater strides toward equality among her male peers than at any other time in history" (Duffin, 2010, p. 198). During that era, some female officers won notable discrimination lawsuits and the right to patrol their own beats.
While the fight for equality for women has been ongoing for decades, progress has clearly been made. The public is more accepting of female police officers and the number of women in the police forces across the nation has steadily increased. Changes have come if a male former chief of police could comment that "women brought a different contribution to policing than men…women officers are more compassionate in the ways they do their job….[but] this happens only if they do not get co-opted into being police women rather than police women" (Duffin, 2010, p. 249).

Two new, free and popular smartphone apps are anonymous. There are no accounts, no profiles, no contact lists, no names attached to posts, and few archives. Is the pendulum swinging away from "social media performance" and the "ultra-curated reputations" of Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn? Perhaps NSA revelations have made youth wary? Perhaps the teen and young college-age demographic is intrigued with the mystery of a changing persona? A place to let off steam? A friend in need? Or maybe it's the confessional again.
Secret, an app on iOS, was introduced in February 2014 by Silicon Valley engineers who wanted a place to share what they could not say face to face and without judgment: "join Secret and speak freely." When you sign up for Secret, it links to anyone in your contact list who uses Secret, but you never know who is posting unless they choose to reveal themselves. Posts are short bursts of text, for example, "Going through a merger is like going through a double date...." In its short life, Secret has been the source of some untrue business rumors and some personal attacks, so this is not a benign site.
Whisper, for iOS and Android, was introduced two years ago, but took off late in 2013. It has more than three billion page views a month—more than CNN's. A post to Whisper, for instance, says "Nobody at work knows I'm a lesbian," and then chooses a stock photo to display the thought. On each display you see a button that encourages you to post. Whisper notifies you of posts created by people within a radius of a mile and more. Each day six posts are chosen by the site curators to feature. Founder Michael Heyward says, "There is no safer place," and 120 real-time curators mean to keep it so.
These two anonymous apps create different network structures from those we are most used to. Whisper seems to be more novel, a departure from previous trash-talking anonymous sites and a distance from incessant "Like me."

While working on her newest book, Prof. Gail Garfield from the Sociology department spent a lot of time in the Library, working with the microfilm delivered to her through the Interlibrary Loan service (ILL). The research resulted in her book, Tightrope: A Racial Journey to the Age of Obama, published in 2014 by Rowman & Littlefield (on order).
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) services are available to John Jay College faculty (and their authorized John Jay research assistants), graduate students, staff and undergraduate students (article requests only) for academic research purposes. Book articles, book chapters, dissertations and media items that John Jay does not own and that cannot be requested through CLICS or through the media department can be ordered via ILL.

Items from the Special Collections
Research in action: student spotlight (from the Spring 2014 Newsletter)
Jakub Gaweda is 2014 graduating senior majoring in Global History.
Last November, I was approached by Prof. Gerald Markowitz to work on a research project for John Jay's upcoming 50th anniversary. Prof. Markowitz, along with a few others, was asked to head a committee to create a timeline exhibit for the College. I gladly accepted the offer to join them, recognizing that the experience would greatly increase my own research skills.
As I began to attend the exhibit meetings, I quickly learned the scope of my work. I would look through books of newspaper clippings located in the Special Collections room, compiling a list of events at the college: plays, sports, funding received, grants, guest speakers, etc. Thankfully, two more student researchers were brought on to help me with what seemed at times a Sisyphean task.
Over the months of January, February, and March, I became intimately acquainted with the Special Collections room, the Library Conference room, John Jay's newspaper clippings, and its archival photographs in ways I could have never imagined. When I closed my eyes, everything was sepia. At certain times of the day, I smelled aging newspaper, and if I listened carefully, I could hear the crinkle of paper and the flipping of binder pages. I cursed when the Library was only open till 10pm on weekdays.
Levity aside, I found the research fascinating. While I enjoyed learning about the big events of John Jay, including CUNY's financial crisis in 1976 and the student takeovers in 1989 in response to rising tuition costs, what I found most compelling were the small stories. Over the course of my research, certain names would begin to reappear every now and again: a notable basketball player, a professor, or a student who won a scholarship. Often surfacing only in small blurbs with a few sentences, these stories often did much to humanize the history of the College. Seeing these small narratives unfold literally before my eyes made me cognizant of my own place at John Jay and how short my time at the school is, as just one of thousands of other current and former students. I felt the same way when looking at the photographs of John Jay's history. Photos of student and campus life were just as interesting as Mother Teresa or Bill Cosby at the college.
I also can't forget to thank the fantastic Library staff for all the help they have provided me. From Prof. Ellen Sexton to Robin Davis, who both directly helped me manage the materials, to every single other librarian I may have at one point or another asked (hopefully kindly) to open some door for me. It made my work that much easier and more enjoyable.
It's a good thing that I did this research when John Jay was only 50, as I am not sure I envy the researcher who, in another 50 years, will have to face an even more daunting task. Maybe—with any luck—he will find some mention of me in the records.
Jakub Gaweda
Editor's note: in addition to their incredible work on the 50th Anniversary Exhibit, Jakub and his classmates, Kayla Talbot and Brittany Cabanas, have made invaluable contributions to the John Jay College Archives in the Digital Collections by scanning archival items, researching photograph subjects, and creating metadata.

Suzuki Alumni: Megan Tiller
EMU Graduate Megan Tiller says her Suzuki teacher training at EMU was pivotal in her life and career decisions.
Classroom training and mentoring relationship
I worked closely with my teacher trainer and regularly observed other experienced Suzuki instructors within a thriving Suzuki program. I trained in many environments, from private lessons, group classes, and workshops, to string ensembles and full orchestras, and even Suzuki violin in the schools!
Suzuki training and other study
I continued my own study of the violin within the context of teaching the Suzuki repertoire, and completed my teacher training while also studying psychology and language.
Career outcomes
I'm now entering my sixth year of teaching Suzuki violin. I value beyond words the community I have gained through my teaching and the Suzuki Association.

Draft a true 3-4 outside backer Like Barr or Mack and let Jones try his hand inside. I mean,.. we wasted time, money and draft picks on undersized, project "Dungy's Colts " type 4-3 pursuit backers with very little collegiate productivity on their resumes and a very average collegiate 4-3 defensive tackle to do so for Timmons and placate Tomlin.
There is no doubt the talent is there.
I did notice that last week (against the Bills) he was getting doubled or chipped on a frequent basis. That's a good sign considering the opposing team "respects" him enough to do that.
He has the tools. From a physical standpount, he needs to get stronger.
JJ is the least of my worries going forward with this team. What he lacks (i.e. strength) is easily correctable.

Shipment of SSDs in Uptrend Despite Weak Ultrabook Sales
The shipments of SSDs have risen sharply this year despite weak ultrabook sales. This is according to iSuppli who expects this trend to continue as these flash memory-based drives become increasingly common in non-budget notebooks and desktop PCs by the latter half of this decade.

The 1978-D Washington Quarter is very easy to obtain in just about any condition. Uncirculated examples can also still be found in circulation. Only in MS67 condition and higher does it become scarce. Anything grading higher than MS68 is a rarity for the issue and definitely an example worth keeping.

Emo Inspired Red/Auburn cut with Side Swept Bangs
This hairstyle is deconstructed form inspired by the grown-out bob, or "lob" look. Keeping the main length of the hair allows the person to continue growing their hair out as planned, but movement and a disconnected shape keep the hair looking sharp and fresh.This is a medium-length haircut that is left just grazing the bottom of the nape in the exterior. Towards the interior however, diagonal-back layers take the hair away from the face and create bold texture that give the cut volume and shape while still maintaining length.The hair colour is a natural, auburn-based violet. Blended with browns and a hint of red, the violet creates a unique interest without being too much of a power pigment. Brighter violet highlights layered throughout catch the sunlight to create a uniquely violet halo that shines over everything.

by John MacArthur
The tragic, inescapable reality of the believer's life is that he or she will never totally and finally conquer sin. The Lord has transformed us, replaced our hearts, and reoriented our lives, but we still can't completely escape the grip of sin.
The apostle John recognizes, of course, that believers do fail and fall into sin. As a matter of fact, he began the epistle with a series of statements underscoring the truth that no one can claim any degree of perfection in this life: "If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us" (1 John 1:8). And, "If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us" (1 John 1:10). When we sin, however, Christ is our advocate with the Father (1 John 2:1) as well as the all-sufficient sacrifice who has paid the price of our sin (1 John 2:2).
Therefore, we can know true assurance, despite the sinful and fleshly tendencies we all struggle with. Read Paul's testimony in Romans 7 about his own frustrating battle to overcome the sin that remains in each one of us as long as we inhabit fallen flesh. We all sin all the time, and we wage the very same struggle Paul describes in Romans 7:14-24. But notice that Paul ends that discussion with a celebration of his own assurance: "Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!" (Romans 7:25). From there, he devotes the entirety of Romans 8 to a discourse about the believer's security in the Spirit.
How can believers know that kind of assurance, even while being aware of their own sinfulness?
First, it's vital to understand that Scripture expressly refutes all forms of perfectionism. Even when the apostle John writes, "No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God" (1 John 3:9), he is clearly not making perfection a test of salvation, because as we have seen, he recognizes and even emphasizes the inevitability of sin in every believer's life.
The point of 1 John 3:9 has to do with our attitude toward sin and righteousness, our response when we do sin, and the overall direction of our walk. In other words, as I have often said, we don't test the genuineness of our repentance by the perfection of our walk, but by the direction of it. In the words of Puritan John Owen, "Your state is not at all to be measured by the opposition that sin makes to you, but by the opposition you make to it."1John Owen, The Works of John Owen 16 vols. (London: Banner of Truth, 1996 reprint), 6: 605.
What is the true moral object of your affections? Is it sin or righteousness? If your chief love is sin, then according to the principles outlined in 1 John, you are "of the devil" (1 John 3:8, 10). If you love righteousness and practice righteousness, you are born of God (1 John 2:29). This is not measured by the frequency, duration, or magnitude of one's sins, but by the inclination of the heart.
And the true mark of a redeemed heart is a spirit of repentance, mourning over our sin when we do fall, and a deep and abiding dependence on God's grace as we wage the warfare against sin. To quote John Owen once more: "A man, then, may have a deep sense of sin all his days, walk under the sense of it continually, abhor himself for his ingratitude, unbelief, and rebellion against God, without any impeachment of his assurance."2Ibid., 6: 549.
That may sound preposterous, but an understanding of the depth of our own sin is the very thing that keeps Christians from falling into utter despair. We know we are guilty, fallen, and frail. To use the exact idea conveyed in the Greek text of 1 John 1:9, we agree with God about our sin.
When we discover sin in our lives, we are not shocked or astonished, but we nonetheless hate the fact that it is there. We trust Christ, our Advocate, for forgiveness and cleansing. And far from becoming tolerant or comfortable with sin in our lives, we become more and more determined to mortify it. As John says, "I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin" (1 John 2:1, emphasis added).
In other words, a spirit of perpetual repentance ought to permeate and characterize the life of every true believer. The repentance that takes place at conversion begins a progressive, lifelong process of confession and forgiveness (1 John 1:9). That spirit of continual repentance in no way undermines the assurance of a true child of God. On the contrary, it is the very thing that feeds our assurance and keeps it alive.

This is exactly what I needed to hear and be reminded of.. When I was 20 years old I left Catholicism due to the realization that although I wanted to know and love God, my life had revolved around traditions that weren't even biblical.. I wondered on my own believing the Bible to be holy and accurate, but without any teachers. Eventually I joined the Marine Corps where I have spent the last 5 years. But I was at Camp Pendleton California in 2010 when I was introduced to Grace to You. Ever since my life has had amazing blessings from the word of God. Now I am getting out this year and contemplating attending the Masters College. I pray nothing but the best for your community, and the Church as a whole. Once again, thank you, and God bless you all.

Praise God! we are very thankful and grateful to Him for all things He has done and still doing in our life.
Thank you Pastor John MacArthur for each post you have shared with us each day, it is very helpful and help me to be close to God and grow in Christ. God always bless you, your family, and all team at grace to you.
In Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, so only way that we can escape, mortify the devil and sin are " submit ourselves to the Lord, to surrender to Him, depend on Him, obey His word, and get connected often with Him. As Jesus Christ is Our savior, our Lord, and our life, everyday we must die to sin, to the flesh, the world and through all those we must ask the Holy Spirit help us to do them because we are still in flesh and weak, we can't do anything without Him.
Jesus Christ is the vine and we are the branches, so as follower of Jesus Christ, each of us must be abide in HIM so we bear much fruit and that fruit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness, self-control (John 15:1-8 and Galatians 5:22-23)
Brother and sisters in Christ, pray for each of each other. I pray for us that we hide God's word deeply in our hearts and live in It and ask that the power of the Holy Spirit lead and direct our path to please and glorify God.
I would like to share with you the Word of God in Psalm 119:11, 105 and 2 Timothy 3:16-17" Your word I have hidden in my heart,That I might not sin against You.Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Lord,You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power, and thanks. Amen.
In Christ.

Let Christ overcome our life and help us to resist the devil that we may do His will and follow Him.
What a wonderful summary of the daily struggle that all believers face. It truly is a blessed assurance we have knowing that God knows we are sinners and forgives because of his grace and mercy. Praise the Lord!
Thank you very much for this blog post Pastor MacArthur. This was, for me, one of the best explanations I have read on the subject of sin. Thank you so much.
I am thankful that God is faithful and true to His Word. While I was serving Federal Prison time in Sheridan, Oregon we were having an inspection by the warden and I know the Holy Spirit had led me to a old and used MacArthur Study Bible, someone had thrown this Bible on the trash can. I was totally blown away by the truths that Pastor John had commented on every scripture. When I was released in 2006, the first thing I did was purchase a MacArthur Study Bible ( I left the other one so someone else would be blessed). Thank you Pastor MacArthur for your heart for the truth, as we all run this race together well. The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. 1 John 3:24
John, I have been listening to you for over 30 years. But this short blog hit the target dead center. It brought the truth that I knew in my head to strike a resonant chord moving it from the academic to the practical. Especially realizing our attitude toward sin and righteous and mourning over our sin when we do fall. I will meditate on this a great while and review 1 John again. Thank you.
In addressing sin, and God help us to discern the apostate church. Today I read this article posted in Christianity Today "Leadership"
if I am understanding it correctly it blasphemes the Word in a mushy, twisted way about accepting two lesbians (active?) into the congregation. John you hammer the TRUTH home with the intent of warning us, what is Christianity Today doing? May God correct them or remove them. Did I misunderstand?
Sadly, you're right. The writer of that article sets up two extreme options--accept them or shun them.
Instead, God's Word, and specifically the example of Christ, would lead us to show grace and mercy BY calling them to true repentance, just as we were called to forsake our sin and believe.
I'll stop short of saying he blasphemes the Word, but he is severely misunderstanding and misrepresenting it.
I like your statement that "we don't test the genuineness of our repentance by the perfection of our walk, but by the direction of it." That's the best way of putting it I have ever seen. Thanks, Pastor MacArthur, for all your teachings and resources.

Posted on 01/28/2013 8:57:25 AM PST by Second Amendment First
I AM a New England liberal, born and bred. I have lived most of my life in the Northeast Boston, New York and Philadelphia and my politics are devoutly Democratic.
I am also a Texas resident and a gun owner.
My relationship to firearms might have ended there, if not for a coincidence of weather. Everybody remembers Hurricane Katrina; fewer recall Hurricane Rita, an even more intense storm that headed straight for Houston less than a month later. My wife and I arranged to stay at a friends house in Austin, packed up the kids and dog, and headed out of town or tried to. As many as 3.7 million people had the same idea, making Rita one of the largest evacuations in history, with predictable results.
By 2 in the morning, after six hours on the road, we had made it all of 50 miles. The scene was like a snapshot from the Apocalypse: crowds milling restlessly, gas stations and mini-marts picked clean and heaped with trash, families sleeping by the side of the road. The situation had the hopped-up feel of barely bottled chaos. After Katrina, nobody had any illusions that help was on its way. It also occurred to me that there were probably a lot of guns out there this was Texas, after all. Here I was with two tiny children, a couple of thousand dollars in cash, a late-model S.U.V. with half a tank of gas and not so much as a heavy book to throw.
IT didnt happen overnight, but before too long my Northeastern liberal sensibilities, while intact on other issues, had shifted on the question of gun ownership.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
"heavy weaponry like the AR-15"
Huh? I call this another leftie piece of creative writing. Pretending to be a "reasonable" gun owner who is ready to compromise and trust to the altruistic government to do the right thing is just stupid.
>> "Let me be clear: my personal armory notwithstanding, I think guns are woefully under-regulated."
Go back to New England where you belong, big government liberal. We don't need your kind down here.
Still clueless as to the purpose of the 2nd Amendment. After all, tyranny only happens to the other guy, right? It could never happen here.
Every time I pick up a .223 and compare it to a 30.06 I just go "HUH?" I understand the military theory behind the smaller round, but boy, the weight and size of that .06 sure is comforting. The .223 bullets themselves remind me of large grains of rice.
>> I'll take allies where ever they are
That weak-sister attitude will get us to "compromise" regulation.
i.e. "You can have a gun as long as it's a 6-shot wheelgun or a 7 round automatic handgun or a 3-round pump shotgun but that's the limit... and you have to register them".
That's what this piece of crap liberal wants.
Is that acceptable to you?
It's not acceptable to me.
I am NOT this SOB's "ally", and he damn sure isn't mine. He can go screw himself. Better yet he can go back to where he came from.
I reject the overriding idea that one can be liberal, and pro 2nd amendment.
Furthermore, democratic is not a political ideology.
There is much that does not compute.
You want "heavy weaponry"? Get a main battle rifle (MBR) in a REAL caliber like .30-06 Springfield, 7.62 NATO, 7.62x54R, .303 British, 7.92x57 Mauser, or 7.5 Swiss. Then, move up to .50 caliber Browning.
But he's still an 0bamavoter. How he keeps his head from exploding due to cognitive dissonance, I cannot say.
We know their game. We need to stop pussyfootin' around arguing with libs on their "surface" arguments.
You folks want confiscation, stop lying and saying you don't. We say NO. End of discussion.
Another liberal who thinks the second amendment is to allow him to protect his family from the criminal elements of society. Guess what, buddy? The sole purpose of the second amendment is to allow you to protect your family from the biggest, badest thing on the planet. Namely, a central convinced to their core, they know what is best for you and will do whatever they have to do to make sure you SUBMIT to their dictates.
The second amendment allows the American people to ORDER the federal government to back down or else.
Well, not exactly.
He still lives in the fantasy world of the left, thinking that some guns are "good" and some guns are "bad".
He changed his mind about being armed when he found himself in a situation where law-enforcement were nowhere to be found.
To make the next step, he needs to experience the hurricane NOT missing his home, so that he appreciates that there may be mobs of unruly people that have to be kept away from HIS home, what's left of it, HIS supplies, and HIS family.
Only then will he realize that the appropriateness of any given firearm is situational. If he wants to pretend that he will never face half-a-dozen armed bad guys at one time, then he might eventually suffer for his lack of imagination.
If he actually "got it", he would be realizing that the Second Amendment means what it says and that NOBODY should have a say in which arms he keeps and bears.
The "Rita response" is what the dems were hoping for when they created all the hype with Katrina.
IIRC it was October 5, 2005 just a few weeks after Rita and Katrina when the idiot of a mayor of NYC, Bloomberg, called a press conference and announced there was a terrorist attack planned for NYC.
Because of the fear of another "Rita response" created by Katrina only this time in NYC, Bush had asked the idiot mayor not to release info which was classified info which had been leaked to him.
Idiot mayor did it anyway.
Lucky for the people of NYC they didn't take the bait and fall into the trap set by the dems and go into the mass panic "Rita response" the dems were hoping for.
>> At least this liberal got it... It's about protecting yourself from those hunting you, including out of control government.
Not really. He hints about the "protecting yourself" part, but it's pretty clear he means criminals. He hasn't wrapped his fuzzy little liberal head around the "out of control government" part.
It's a religious thing.
If he admits that the government could possibly be malevolent, he is giving up on his own elitism (that he is superior to others).
The first step toward self defense is the biggest step away from government dependency. I hope in time he will gradually take a few more logical steps, along with his daughter.
As far as my being a weak-sister, LOL, those who know me would scoff at my compromising my position on second amendment issues.
The author says: calling gun owners a bunch of inbred rednecks doesnt do much to advance rational discussion.
I say calling all liberals bed-wetting hoplophobes doesn't help either.
>> At least this liberal got it... Its about protecting yourself from those hunting you, including out of control government.
Not really. He hints about the protecting yourself part, but its pretty clear he means criminals. He hasnt wrapped his fuzzy little liberal head around the out of control government part.
A liberal is someone who doesn't realise there are two types of criminals, regular criminals and governemnt criminals.
>> I hope in time he will gradually take a few more logical steps, along with his daughter.
When you're dealing with big-government liberals, "hoping" they'll come down with a serious case of logic is a pretty stupid strategy.
How clearly does he have to lay out his real views before you get it? He thinks guns are "woefully underregulated". HIS words — not mine.
How far do you intend to let him and his REAL allies get towards depriving us of our constitutional rights, while we wait patiently for him to dawdle on down his personal path of enlightenment?
I got the feel that somehow this article is fake - agitprop.
The man likes shooting, wants the right to protect himself, and wants to continuously buy whatever guns have whatever features he likes - but he "loathes the NRA" and declares that it would be best if no one owns guns.
He is holding extremely opposite positions. It simply feels like this all is somehow a lie.
It would be nice if hadn't fallen for the bogus Kellerman study and alluded to it. That utter piece of garbage research gets way too much press considering it's been outed as crap for ages now.
I guess I'm stupid then. When a liberal gets mugged, some convert faster than others.
It can be difficult emerging from a cult, especially one as pervasive as liberalism.
must be a LINO
A displaced metrosexual weighs in...
Do you like what happened in New York State?
Do you think that New York's gun control law is an acceptable model for the US?
Hey Texans, do you still want to invite gun owning immigrants from the NE to come to your state to escape harsh gun laws?
Now you're losing me. I don't know where those questions come from. But then I'm stupid.
>> I dont know where those questions come from.
They're simple questions; at least, I think they are.
If you *answer* them you will see where they come from. :-)
Take your pick of appropriate substitutions...
This writer seems a bit hypocritical. Sort of a 'Guns for me, but not for thee' uppityness.
Why don't those LIBERALS stay in the BLUE STATES instead of spreading their TRASH (LIBERALISM) into RED STATES??
To the native New Englander from a native Texan. Get your azz back to from whence you came.
The author loathes the NRA and then talks about taking classes and sending his daughter to a class. Who does he think trained and certified the instructors? The NRA, that's who. He mentions getting a carry permit but doesn't recognize that it was the NRA that did the work of getting carry laws passed across the U.S.
The writer is a semi-wuss and too apologetic but...... As good as it gets in the NY Times and might change a few liberal minds better than I can
So thumbs up for this article
There are Yankees and then there are Damn Yankees like this POS imposter. Just another gun grabber type.
Thanks, lib. Now we know to take you from ambush when the SHTF, instead of just walking in and taking your stuff like we can with most libs.
These hacks that are "born and bred" up in New York and New England I guess have a built in wuss factor.
I myself am not confident enough in my masculinity to ever express any wussiness like these wusses.
Worthless metrosexual oxygen wasters.
Same kind of drivel from a New York metrosexual.
These guys are probably on Bloomburg's and Soros' payrolls.

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy
SBRT is used to treat both benign and cancerous tumors such as spine, lung and liver tumors. Even benign tumors that have an aggressive nature can grow rapidly and interfere with other areas of the body resulting in pain and adversely affecting a patient's health.
Doctors are already seeing just how effective SBRT can be. In non-small cell lung cancer patients who are not able to have surgery, there is an improvement in outcomes by using larger and fewer high-dose treatments over several treatments than extending low dose radiation over several weeks.
Treating tumor patients whether the tumor is cancerous or benign, requires a collaboration of physicians including radiation oncologists, oncologists, medical oncologists, physicists, neurosurgeons, pain specialists, and primary care physicians.
To find out if you are a candidate, discuss this procedure with your physician or call 888.777.5959. You can also use our physician locator to find a Methodist-affiliated physician.

Just curious -- anybody know much about Dharma (or daruma) figures and such? I'm familiar with Bodhidharma and the legends, but I'm more interested in the variety of figures that represent him.
In particular, for example, during my recent scouring of Japan auctions, I ran across this interesting figure. Unfortunately auctions in Japan rarely seem to provide any useful background information... anybody know anything...? (:

Topic: Using Single Table Inheritace with drop down lists
I'm having a little trouble working out how to classify which 'type' a record should be based on Single Table Inheritance.
Let's say I have a table Contacts which has some fields like Name, PhoneNumber, etc. but also has a drop down field that has values such as "Personal", "Professional", "Company", etc.
Now I have a model called Contact and it has some sub classes. The code looks like:
class Contact < ActiveRecord::Base
class ContactPersonal < Contact; end
class ContactProfessional < Contact; end
class ContactCompany < Contact; end
I'm essentially having two issues.
1. How do I get a list of these subclasses for automatically populating the drop down list?
2. Where is the best place to decide what type of object to create. Would a case statement in the controller, based off the selected drop down list item, be the best place, or is there a better way?

Skip to comments.Obama says his is most transparent administration' ever (Blatant lie)
Posted on 02/14/2013 3:57:42 PM PST by jazusamo
President Obama on Thursday hailed his administration for its transparency.
This is the most transparent administration in history, Obama said during a Google Plus Fireside Hangout.
I can document that this is the case, he continued. Every visitor that comes into the White House is now part of the public record. Every law we pass and every rule we implement we put online for everyone to see.
The president said this holds true even on the issue of Benghazi, a controversy which he said was driven by campaign year politics and one that Congressional Republicans were clinging to even though theyve run out of questions.
Benghazi is not a good example, Obama said. Weve had more testimony and more paper than ever before.
The president has also been criticized even by some liberals for his use of drones to target terrorist suspects abroad, some of who have been U.S. citizens. Obama said there are a handful of issues, mostly surrounding national security, that require some confidentiality.
However, the president pledged to be open about how drones are used, saying the public will know the parameters around the program.
What I think is absolutely true is its not sufficient for citizens to just take my word for it that were doing the right thing, Obama said.
The president added that there are different policies on how drones are used abroad, compared to how theyre used in the U.S.
I think theres never been a drone used on an American citizen on American soil, Obama said. We respect and have a whole bunch of safeguards into how we conduct counter-terrorism outside the United States
the rules are different inside the United States.
Obama...Holder...Napolitano...Need any more?
This is Obama's Richard Nixon moment........"I am not a crook" Now shares top spot with Obama's claim today.
If a POTUS lies like a rug and the MSM covers for him 24/7/365 is it really a lie?
That is a Great video!
"Fast and Furious" - still waiting for "Just-Us" Dept. cooperation in Congressional investigation (2 Years )
.."Benghazi Murders "- no response from State Dept. regarding Congressional committee investigation ( 5 Months,and counting)
.."Benghazi Arms Sales" - still waiting for information ( At this point , what's the difference")
.."Fireing 20,000 US Armed Sevices , and sending $700 million to Islamic terrorists"
etc. , etc, etc.,...
Sounds like he just finished a bong or snorted a couple lines of coke. I guess it all depends on what your definition of "tranparency" is.
The usual media hacks will continue with the protection racket.
Ridicule and social torment is the only thing that will work in a society that so highly values the valueless musings of other vapid shallow minds 24/7.
We should have all seen this trend when Clinton was not hounded from office for (at least) stuffing cigars in an interns hoo-hoo.
I think I see the problem. Obozo is using the loony left dictionary of ordinary words. Everyone else is using a regular dictionary.
It staggers the imagination that he gets away with defining government transparency as making the visitor log public. Or that the rules (he illegally promulgated) are made public on the INTERNET.
I think? He thinks he's so dang clever.
He lied.
It's really as easy as mouth-breathing to him.
Here's a few he forgot to tell us. Who was aboard the plane when the fake Air Force one buzzed New York? What are the names of the people who were in the Benghazi consulate when the attacks started and when can we speak to them.what is the name of the highest ranking official who okâd Fast and Furious, or Susan Rice's TV appearance?
The value of a free press is not and has not been been exercised with liberal leaders for some years. They cover for Dems no matter how blatantly corrupt and skewer the GOP.
It would be understandable the media would report this way in a country run by a dictator...but then it looks like we may be going that way.
You've got that exactly right, lying comes second nature to him.
I've read that people in the administration were meeting in (coffee shops?) or some such places to avoid the meetings with supporters being put on record.
I can't remember who was involved.
LOL, the guy is a sociopath.
He meant that his administration's lies are the easiest to see through ...
2) The drama is unfolding as Congress debates whether to toughen anti-leak laws to crack down on classified information being provided to the news media. The Obama administration has responded by ordering that thousands of U.S. intelligence and law enforcement employees be questioned about media leaks when theyre polygraphed during security clearance screenings. In an unprecedented move, the administration also has criminally prosecuted numerous government employees for leaking. Whistleblower and media advocates fear that the aggressive efforts will have a chilling effect on the reporting of government wrongdoing but wont stop classified information from being leaked when its politically advantageous to administrations.
3) The attack on whistleblowing, by design, seriously impedes investigative reporting; as Jane Mayer put it recently: when our sources are prosecuted, the news-gathering process is criminalized, so its incumbent upon all journalists to speak up. Worse still, allowing the Executive Branch to leak at will information that glorifies the President and his policies, while aggressively suppressing all information that does the opposite, is the classic recipe for propagandizing without limit.
I think he is perfectly transparent. I very clearly see who he is and what his agenda is.
Well, he told Joe Wilson that illegals would not be covered under Obamacare causing ol' Joe to call him out during one SOTU address, when it was really Napolitano's fault, somehow, and he assured all of us that his `Affordable Care Act' would be debated extensively on CNN, but it was not, in fact, due to an oversight by an aide, one of his minions suggested that we must pass it in order to blah blah blah, and of course Holder `turtled-up' on `Fast and Furious' and Clinton, Benghazi, I believe his illegal alien relatives are still under the radar breathing American air, but that's INS's fault
we still don't have an explanation for why he claimed to be an Indonesian at one time during his career as a professional student, like his Marxist father who suggested in one scholarly paper that people could be taxed at 100%—sure, we don't hear about those things, but that's his MSM butt-buddies fault, 'That's not his!'—and it's a little unclear why he was shown in print as having been born in Kenya or why his campaign committee (again, not on him) supplied a fake birth certificate, his wife is apparently now in helmet defilade after making a complete chump of herself for four years, his staff makes him trot the kids out regularly to make political hay but otherwise they are strictly off-limits at Sidwell school, protected by armed guards, eating complete, nutritious meals or on million dollar vacations with the dam, he hasn't started his own vacation bingeing yet (except for golfing with red balls), but `the day ain't over yet', and we'd all like to be a fly on the wall at certain
(clearing throat)
Chicago "mens' clubs", although cavorting for most of his life with homosexuals is probably all perfectly innocent, Carney makes him stage fake photo ops, we haven't had a budget for four years, that's on Bernanke, he has done every thing he can to frustrate domestic energy production (for completely transparent reasons per the Dept. of Energy and, I suspect, blowhole algore while saying that he wants to create jobs, et cetera and so on ... Geitner in the woodpile?, his Secret Service detail, those bad boys, are completely above-board although I suppose there really is no telling how much we haven't heard about their top-down shenanigans, but that's not him.
(taking a deep breath)
political payoffs (see: "bailouts", TARP) to unions and fake `green' outfits and others—a masterful exercise in Beltway 3-card Monte, but carried out by others, to be sure, his cabinet consists of World-class Weasels—If it matters!—but make no mistake about it: That's not on him ... so off the top of my head, I really can't really think of any failures on his part to be anything other than perfectly honest and transparent with the American public.
It must still be Bush's fault.
Very well said and I'd bet he agrees with every word. The turkey couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it.
It has never been so transparently clear that our government is so intent on destroying America and the Freedom She stands for.

City sackings at five-year high
City sackings and suspensions are at their highest level in five years, according to new data which shows the impact of disciplinary action on the financial sector after a spate of damaging scandals.
Figures released by law firm Pinsent Masons and obtained through a Freedom of Information request show a 76% increase in dismissals and suspensions over the course of 2012 compared to the previous 12 months.
A total of 1,373 staff members were dismissed or suspended in 2012, compared with 778 in 2011.
Pinsent Masons obtained their information from the Financial Services Authority, which requires regulated businesses to indicate when employees have been sacked or suspended. The FSA also gathers data from the changing employment status of individuals seeking FSA authorisation.
Disciplinary cases in the City of London have rocketed following reputational damage suffered in the wake of a number of damaging scandals. Several banks are currently engaged in settlement talks with regulators over the Libor-rate fixing scandal, which has already led to the exit of senior staff from a number of institutions.
Speaking at the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards on Wednesday, UBS global head of compliance Andrew Williams said that his bank had dismissed 18 out of 40 people directly involved in attempted interest-rate manipulation.
Meanwhile, the Royal Bank of Scotland is currently in talks with UK regulators over whether two executives at the bank should quit following the scandal. The Wall Street Journal reported that talks focus on the futures of John Hourican, chief of the investment banking division, and Peter Nielsen, head of markets. The bank has sacked a number of traders over the scandal.
Helen Farr, a partner in the Financial Services team at Pinsent Masons, said that a stronger enforcement attitude on behalf of the regulator, and the occurrence of large trading scandals, had accounted for the higher number of sackings at firms.
"FSA enforcement activity has clearly had an impact on firms' willingness to tolerate wrongdoing...The rise in number of staff dismissed from 778 to 1373 in a 12-month period suggests that the threat of enforcement and reputational damage associated with rogue traders such as Kweku Adoboli are clearly having an impact."
The tougher disciplinary environment is set against a backdrop of rising job losses across the City. Additional data from Pinsent Masons revealed that 36,868 people in the financial sector lost their jobs in 2012, bringing the total number of job losses at 177,697 over just five years.
Financial News last week revealed that FSA-authorised employees working in the UK financial sector had fallen to an eight-year low, with over 10% wiped off the register since December 2008.

CORRECTION: Pinsent Masons had stated that there was a 56% increase in dismissals and sackings over the course of 2012. This has now been corrected.

Topic: Protecting Passwords in Environment.rb
Hopefully one of you kittens can help me here. I've set up a few other apps before using SVN and I know how to use something like database.yml.sample and environment.rb.sample, which you customize on the server. I'm having a hard time, though, figuring out how to do the same with Capistrano. If I have to log onto the server after each deploy to edit the configuration I have a feeling I'm doing something wrong. How do you kittens handle this kind of situation. I've looked on the web but can't seem to find a single resource about it much less a capistrano recipe.
Thanks in advance...

Charles Steadman, master mixologist and Lantana Jacks Bar & Grill managing partner, shows us how to make the effervescent Hibiscus Fizz.
Hibiscus Fizz
- 1½ oz. house-infused strawberry vodka (see below)
- 1 oz. house made hibiscus syrup (see below)
- 3 lemon wedges
- Prosecco
Garnish: Edbile hibiscus flower
In a cocktail tin filled with ice, add vodka, hibiscus syrup, and three lemon wedges, squeezed and dropped into the tin. Shake vigorously. Strain into a wine glass filled with ice, top with prosecco, and garnish with an edible hibiscus flower.
The following is a palmbeachillustrated.com-house recipes for strawberry-infused vodka and hibiscus syrup.
Strawberry-Infused Vodka
- 2 pints fresh, ripe strawberries, quartered
- 750 ml vodka (Tito's!)
- 2 Mason jars
Take two pints of fresh, ripe strawberries and quarter them. Add one pint each of strawberries to a Mason jar. Fill vodka to the top of each jar, seal, and store in a cool, dark place (like your pantry) for three days (up to a week), agitating daily. Once infused, strain with a coffee filter or cheesecloth. Enjoy!
Hibiscus Syrup
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoon dried hibiscus flower (or 4 hibiscus tea bags)
Essentially simple syrup with some dried hibiscus flower thrown into the mix, this recipe is pretty simple. Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan; bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, add hibiscus and let steep. Once cool, strain into jar and store in the refrigerator.

To register for the training, please complete the attached revised registration form and either fax to 573-526-1470 or email to email@example.com.

The Initial Nutrition Education PowerPoint presentation contains colored slides with speaker notes and is designed to be used electronically or printed. Neither the electronic version nor printed version is a stand-alone educational tool and must be reviewed with the participant. The Initial Nutrition Education PowerPoint can be found on the WIC website under LWP/Breastfeeding and Nutrition Education. It will be maintained and updated by the State WIC office. All recommendations for revisions or questions should be directed to your district nutritionist. You can access this power point and speaker notes at the WICLWP website.
