text:
After God created the first couple and brought them together in the first marriage ceremony, there was perfect harmony, fellowship, and joy. Adam had a wife to fellowship with; the two of them exercised dominion together. Eve had her husband to protect, provide, and care for her. All was well in Eden, for the moment.
Perfection didn't last long—a serpent was loose in the Garden of Eden, crafty and animated by Satan. He launched the first attack on the first family, striking out against God and His perfect creation.
In the first recorded assault against humanity, Satan sought to overturn God's pattern of marriage. The devil—in one strategic act of treachery—undermined not only the first family, but God's entire system of earthly rule. Think about it: God is the head of man, man is the head of woman, and mankind together presides over the animal kingdom. Essentially, the pattern was God, man, woman, animals. Satan literally turned that entire system on its head. An animal (the serpent), came to the woman (Eve), counseled her to act independently of her husband (Adam), and to disobey the creator (God).
From a military standpoint, Satan's plan was brilliant and won an immediate victory. And his strategy didn't end with the first parents—he used the same tactics on the first children as well. Adam's first son, Cain killed his younger brother, Abel, incurring the curse of God on his life. Satan managed to inject poison between spouses, siblings, and in all human relationships.
That's a pretty impressive track record for Satan—he's a crafty and wily enemy. He was, and still is, quite the home-wrecker. He tempts us, offers us the opportunity for a sinful alternative to God's design, and we take what he has to offer, to the detriment of our relationships. Satan has known from the very beginning what many naïve Christians are slow to grasp—the family is key in God's program. Destroy the family, and society crumbles.
There are too many families for Satan to single-handedly carry out his campaign of destruction, so he enlists the help of contemporary secular society. After all, the "whole world lies in the power of the evil one." (1 John 5:19). Through ungodly philosophies and ideologies, he continues to attack the traditional roles of men and women within the family. Special-interest groups and government agencies seem bent on the dissolution of the traditional family, advocating the normalization of homosexuality, same-sex "marriage," and (in some cultures nowadays) sterilization programs. Divorce has been made easy, tax laws penalize marriage, and government welfare rewards childbirth outside of wedlock. All those trends (and many more like them) are direct attacks on the sanctity of the family.
Although many Christian leaders have been passionately voicing concerns about the dissolution of the family for decades, things have grown steadily worse, not better, in society at large. Secular social commentators have lately begun to claim that the traditional nuclear family is no longer even "realistic." An article published by the online magazine Salon said this: "The 'ideal' American family—a father and a mother, bound to each other by legal marriage, raising children bound to them by biology—is a stubborn relic, a national symbol that has yet to be returned as threadbare and somewhat unrealistic." The nuclear family simply won't work in twenty-first-century society, according to many of these self-styled "experts."
I know those voices are wrong, however, because I have witnessed literally thousands of parents in our church who have put into practice what the Bible teaches about the family, and they and their families have been greatly blessed for it.
As society continues its mad quest to eliminate the family, and as our whole culture therefore unravels more and more, it becomes more important than ever for Christians to understand what the Bible teaches about the family, and to put it into practice in their homes. It may well be that the example we set before the world through strong homes and healthy families will in the long run be one of the most powerful, attractive, and living proofs that when the Bible speaks, it speaks with the authority of the God who created us—and whose design for the family is perfect.
Keeping those closing thoughts in mind, here's a question for the comment thread: In what ways do you believe "Christian" families have exhibited doubt concerning God's design for the family? Enjoy the thread.

Well, one way would be in conforming to the world. Nothing would bring doubt into a family faster than experiencing first hand a sinful lifestyle. Even the staunchest believer will crumble when a close member of his family "turns out" homosexual. Then, the homosexual lifestyle gets a whole new meaning. Same for an alcoholic, drug user, etc. Then, applying the "love of God" will take precedent. And the "condemnation" will take second priority.
Unfortunately, what the world will see is the apparent "hypocrisy" in christians.
Another would be that christians will say the family must consist of a husband and wife, until a daughter gets pregnant from a relationship with a "bum" (or worse, by an unbeliever). Then, she'd be better off going at it alone, or (gasp) giving the child up for adoption. Again, the world will just ridicule the "family".
Or when a son does anything not "becoming" a christian.
Re "It may well be that the example we set before the world through strong homes and healthy families will in the long run be one of the most powerful, attractive, and living proofs that when the Bible speaks, it speaks with the authority of the God who created us—and whose design for the family is perfect."
How hard is it to meet one of those "healthy families"?.

Hi Folks:
The doubt that families demonstrate is due to the first doubt cast out by our Adversary. The "oneness" is doubted, i.e. "they two shall be one flesh". The wife's inclination to "run things" is evidence that she does not trust God's plan or wisdom. A man's inclination to either be a brute or spineless and not be led by the Spirit of God. Parenting in today s society is a mishmash of worldly thinking, self centeredness, and disconnect with reality. Our morals are force fed to us by demon inspired broadcasters, and "intellectuals", none of whom understand the consequence of their actions except that it will bring about anarchy. Anarchy brings about despotism and oppression, because one "will" is going to win out. The only real chance for Families is to be the salt and light we were designed to be in Christ. What this means is that we center our actions in the Word, and while everything falls apart around us and persecution or travail comes our way we stick to what we know to be real, that which is true and does not change. (He he, I know that this may sound "dispensationalistic" to some, but I was really not thinking of that aspect of correct biblical interpretation. I was thinking more along the lines of what the Historical Church has experienced from time to time in various locations around the globe.) Just thinking.

When Eve and Adam ate the fruit. It was like eating a 'bomb'. As painful it was. It breaks families. Cain was a murderer, not just he is one, he hated his brother, Abel. Sad. Cain had to wandered cause God made him to, why cause he rejected his family, even God too. Even
got worse, the Flood and etc.
Cause doubts, families tried a dangerous easy way which would be the
world and it's pleasures. Satan is a twisted dragon, he, the demons, and our sins cause God's creation go wrong. God never makes mistakes
but we do. That's what Jesus is for to save us. Awesome!
Bible verse, Pride comes before the fall. Satan first fell, then Adam and Eve which affects all mankind. Sad
Satan at first was a good angel, and the demons too. They rebel in
heaven. Satan thought he wanted to be like God. God threw satan and
his followers(demons) out of the heavens. God knew some of his angels
would sin and Adam and Eve's fall too.
Does it help?
Satan cause this to happen, bad relationship, and etc. God did something
to save us by dying on the cross and rose from the dead proving He is
the God of the living. Very good questions. Smiles.
From my own experience I would say I neglected to teach my children about the Glory of Heaven. That has left them clinging to this world and not the Blessed Promises our Lord has given us concerning the real life. Your receint series on Heaven has made me very aware of this. Sincerely, Thank You Pastor MacArthur
Re # 4, Ms. Kelsey
"If Adam was in charge of security, how did Satan get in the kitchen? Satan should have been kept beyond the front gate of Eden."
I don't think we can answer the question with the information we have. Maybe satan pulled a "Book of Job" kind of thing with God. There's just no way of knowing that I can see.
"Doubt of God's Word via the topic of food means Satan understood Eve's responsibilty in the family unit."
Again, maybe, maybe not. Still the fact that Eve was even near that tree speaks volumes.
"I asssume that Adam and Eve were able spiritually to travel to The Throne on Highest of God Almighty."
That's a big assumption. Yes, maybe God at one time said, "hey, guys, you think this is neat? let's go check out my place!" But, somehow, that sounds like something I would say. Not God.
Your questions are hard no doubt. Being bothered by them for years must be hard in itself. Dealing with why and how things happened in the bible makes for great conversation, just don't let it get to you. Keep asking; and when you get your answers, let us know :-)
In the book « The Silence of Adam » by Lary Crabb has an insightful observation. Adam was with Eve during the event of the temptation, why he was so silent? Why he didn't say a word that would somehow immediately rebuke Eve? The Hebrew word being used in that text is 'emma' which suggest close proximity. This is the same word used in 'Emmanuel' which means God with us. So Adam was with Eve, yet he was so silent.
Crabb posited that this event would also suggest that the first failure of man is the failure to speak. Crabb must be right, this might be one reason why marriages tend to fall apart. Men just don't speak; there is an utter failure to communicate – to give light to the darkening mind of the untamed-tongued wives.
Is it not God himself spoke the universe and it came into existence? The spoken Word that created the universe is also the Word that said to Adam "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." Then why Adam didn't say a word? Didn't he remember the Word of God?
I think this is where doubt begins; when the father failed to talk and walk the word of God in the family.
Hi Alex:
I have often wondered,(in addition to what Larry Crabb said regarding the silence of Adam), that when Adam taught Eve the prohibition against eating the fruit, he might also have "set a hedge" by adding to the Word of prohibition by saying "...nor touch it lest ye die". The fact that she touched it and did not "die" would have encouraged her to eat in my way of thinking. I think that this is a common problem among men as well, adding to God's Word. The results speak for themselves and ought to cause teachers of the Word to be careful to teach what it says without adding to or taking away from it. This was a common problem in Christ time where pharisees made the Law without effect by adding to it and providing exceptions to it. From Paul's letter to Timothy speaking regarding the roles of men and women in the church he said that the woman was "deceived in the transgression" and have wondered if the deception might not have been in regard to the issue of Adam's "addition to" that might not have been the culprit. This is speculation on my part because the Word is silent regarding this aspect (i.e. with Adam and Eve). However the "prohibition" of adding to and taking away is not speculation and there are plenty of examples in the Word regarding this issue. (I've probably said enough - he he)
Hi Alex, Paul,
Haven't read Crabb's book, but my understanding of 'with her' in Gen.3:6 and 'with me' in Gen.3:12 are both the same in Hebrew and mean 'relational', and not 'spatial'.
I'm not saying that Adam was not culpable, but Paul seems to confirm that Eve was deceived and not Adam in passages such as 2Cor.11:3 and 1Tim.2:14.
Adam ate of the fruit, yes, but notice also his response to God in Gen.3 (he didn't blame the serpent), and Eve's response there as well (she did blame the serpent).
I'm bit open here, but I think there are other issues that come in to play if we take Crabb's interpretation and not those of other OT Hebrew scholars.
Anybody have any other references on this?
I personally think that if we're studying Genesis 3 and debating who is to blame, we've missed the point.
We must get to the point where we say, "The biggest problem in the family is me."
Because I am a sinner and have not completely reached perfect Christ-likeness, I contribute significantly to the problems in my marriage, parenting, and family in general.
Do fathers contribute to problems in the family? Yes. Do mothers contribute to the problems in the family? Yes. Stop trying to point to Adam OR Eve. Point to yourself. Then, and only then, you can make progress in solving the problem in the family.
What is important about Genesis 3 is not whether Adam or Eve are the primary culprits, but that they are both culprits. When the rest of Scripture comments on that passage it refers to Eve being deceived by Satan, and Adam sinning overtly.
Hi Gabriel,
It's not missing the point when one is faithful to what Scripture says. It's a matter of fidelity to Scripture. We are drawing out through exegesis what the text actually says and means. Scripture is very clear in many places that we are all dead in sin and need the saving work of Christ to come and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:8 comes to mind here. Scripture is also very clear that we have inherited our sin nature from Adam, this is a foundational doctrine of Scripture, but one must understand where this comes from and that points back to Genesis 3.
It's not missing the point when we are trying to be faithful to Scripture. It's a matter of fidelity to the text. We are trying to understand and exegete the text to see what it says and means.
Scripture is very clear in many places that we are all dead in sin. It was our sin that nailed Jesus to the cross. A foundational doctrine of Scripture is that we inherited our sin nature from Adam, and to understand that you have to go back to Genesis 3. It is the work of Christ on the cross and our saving faith that cleanses us from all unrighteousness and sets us free.
To say that "it is not whether Adam or Eve are the primary culprits, but that they are both culprits" is to miss the point I was trying to make.
Adam's responsibility to remember what God said. He just went on
ahead and cause the attack on family. Satan had that firm grip to deceive Eve. Adam sinned and Eve was deceived.
When one commits any kinds of sins, it attacks family. It hurts children. It confuses children so they can't discern between right
and wrong. Ipods, video games, and etc won't help children escaping
from attacks from problens. Helping children apply God's word in their hearts and their minds will give strength to them day by day.
If one is doing exegesis on the text, then perhaps it is relevant whether "with her" is relational or spatial, but for the sake of the current discussion (and Crabb's book), but is being used inappropriately. Whether Adam was standing next to Eve or on the other side of the garden is beside the point of the text and quite irrelevant the meaning of the passage.
It is important, though, to say that Adam did not sin in any way until he ate the fruit. Just like Eve did not sin when she told Satan that they couldn't touch it the fruit (she didn't tell a lie or misrepresent God's law, she revealed the full intent of God's law... "have nothing to do with that fruit!").
The reason families are suffering the effects of sin is because Adam and Even ate the fruit, not because Adam didn't say something. We simply don't know the dynamics that were going on when Eve was having her discussion with the snake. Maybe she was whispering and Adam was just a couple trees away and couldn't hear. In that case Adam couldn't have said anything because he didn't know what was going on.
We need to be very careful about making assumptions of the environment and situational factors that the text doesn't reveal. So to say, "Adam failed to speak," might be true, but only if the underlying assumptions are true.
I think we're getting to the heart of the matter now. Although I'm not sure Scripture speaks to 'have nothing to do with that fruit'. I'm assuming you are paraphrasing Gen. 2:17 which says, 'but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die."
Eve disobeyed, Adam disobeyed, and we all follow suit in disobedience to the Word of God. This I think is the meaning of the passage.
My first post was in comment to Alex and Paul's discussion on Crabb's book, 'The Silence of Adam', and I think I have answered Alex's question about why he (Adam) didn't say a word.
I believe there are two major errors, we as Christians make that if corrected would set a pattern distinct from the rest of society.
1) Realize that love is more of a commitment than an emotional "joy ride" that ends when the "self" begins to be discontent. Divorce is not an option if we are committed to Jesus. He has given us the blueprint for success and we must be diligent to know and to live that "blueprint". God's love for us is a perfect commitment to us; follow Him.
2)Know our roles as God has ordained (there are always going to be extenuating circumstances that may not allow, but the godly principals are laid bare before our eyes in Scripture);so men love your wives as the Lord loves His bride and women respect your husbands in submission as to the Lord without complaint. Recognize each others needs and make every effort to meet these needs without any expectations and set clear examples as parents to our children because it is commanded and the time we have to influence our children in the ways of God are short.
High everyone
From what I know and have read from the bible about Adam and Eve it is this,"Why was the tree of knowledge placed in the garden" ? Well we had a choice to choose from the tree of life or knowledge ! As such we choosed the tree of knowledge and the rest is history as they say, But the two trees were put there for a reason as I think that God already knew about satan and his plans as remember "God is all knowing and is everywhere". So what better way to find out and to get satan to play his card ! And remember Eve had already sinned before the first bite of the apple had taken place ? Genesis 3, 2-3, And the woman said to the serpent "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden, but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden , God has said, you shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die". Well if you know the bible you shall know that God never said we can not touch the apple ? he never said it anywhere only Eve said this and as such she had added it in to the word of God ? satan must have been doing cart wheels inside of his head as she had already disobeyed god's word by adding to God's word ! Remember Moses at the rock when he struck it to water the Israelite's he called them "rebels" ?. So we have a choice here to do and obey gods word or we go ower own way and sin just like the parable's about the two sons in Matthew 21, 28-31 0r the lost son in Luke 15, 11-32 it is about choice and that is to do Gods word and accept it or we sin.
Alex, Gabe:
Just a word regarding culpability, the scripture is plain regarding this issue. God said that it was Adam that caused death to enter the world. And if you notice, all three entities involved in the downfall of creation are judged. What I was trying to say is that the repercussions of the fall are noted in certain examples which I named and that though we have these issues to deal with, it is only by conforming to the scriptural pattern of being "little christ" that we can hope to negate the effects of sin, (not perfectionism but practical holiness).
They pass out condoms which encourages young people to have sex. That's wrong and it's evil. It not just all about Adam and Eve.
It's about all of us. Families suffer from attacks when school have
safe sex education to their children.
The fruit is not a magical fruit that cause us to sin. It's disobeying God.
Hi there, in reading all these blogs from diferent people and to see how precise they want to be about writing thoughts and what scripture says I wonder many times about what GOD said to the first family on earth.
I say that because I have asked this question before, but no one is willing to say it because scripture does not say it. The only thing we can do is understand what GOD told them. Alex mention scripture and I just focus in this sentence "for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die". Now, without trying to show (any of you)your superior intelect about scripture. can anyone confirm to me where the first family (Adam and Eve)is. Are they above(heaven) or below(hades)
Good question, but I'm afraid it will take the discussion off course. John MacArthur gives a great answer in the following message from Genesis. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Enjoy: http://www.gty.org/Resources/Sermons/90-247
As the article stated, we are in desparately depraved times. We see so many parallels in the Old Testament. But God... The times have even burdened the church.. losing hope. My only hope is to focus on the attributes/nature of our Creator God. Once the eyes lose focus on God, the world seeps in and gradually tears at our foundation. I see so many losing hope. We must keep our eyes on the Master. Right perspective of God, right perspect on life. Job 38 to the end of the book helps us keep our eyes on the LORD when trials come. Nahum 1:5-7 is a start.
Tommy: thank you very much. my question has been answered. the reference you gave me is outstanding. I read it last night, what a night!
I will be more attune on my future blogs. thanks again. By the way, this current article is great. thanks
No problem, Jesse. I thought you'd enjoy that message. I was encouraged, too. Blessings.

QE Fatigue Becomes an Epidemic
With President Obama winning a second term the stock market became worried about several macro issues such as: the "fiscal cliff," the implementation of Obamacare and potential increased taxes particularly on income from dividends.
After investors and traders ran up the stock market on Election Day, massive high volume selling fueled the Dow's 313-point decline and the Nasdaq 75-point decline on Wednesday. These losses expanded on Thursday to a post-election decline of 435 points for the Dow and 116 points for the Nasdaq.
With stocks down significantly over the past two days and with the yield of the 30-Year U.S. Treasury bond down 22 basis points to 2.727%, stocks have become cheaper fundamentally.
At www.ValuEngine.com we now show that 66.4% of all stocks are undervalued. In an environment of declining stock prices this alone is not a buy signal. At the market lows on March 6, 2009, when I made a pound-the-table buy signal, more than 95% of all stocks were undervalued.
Looking at sector valuations 11 of 16 are overvalued, but only two by double-digit percentages; construction by 12.6% and consumer staples by 11.3%.
Let's look at the technical damage to the weekly charts:
Analysis of the Yield on the 10-Year Treasury Note (1.594%): The weekly chart continues to favor lower yields but my scenario is that the trading range continues between my semiannual value level at 1.853% and my monthly risky level at 1.452%.
Analysis of Comex Gold ($1732.2): The weekly chart will be upgraded to neutral from negative on a close today above the five-week modified moving average at $1,717.30 the Troy ounce, as my semiannual pivot at $1,702.50 provided a magnet after an Election Day low of $1,672.5. My semiannual, monthly and annual value levels are $1,643.30, $1,639.80 and $1,575.80 with quarterly risky levels at $1,844.90 and $1,881.40.
Analysis of Nymex Crude Oil ($85.00): The weekly chart for crude oil stays negative on a close Friday below the five-week MMA at $89.73. The 200-week simple moving average is a major support at $82.85 with my monthly value level at $76.96, and my annual and quarterly risky levels are $103.58 and $107.31.The 200-week SMA at $82.85 has been a magnet since mid-2009.
Analysis of the euro vs the dollar (1.2736): The weekly chart remains negative on a close today below the five-week MMA at 1.2865. My monthly value level lags at 1.2289 with semiannual and quarterly risky levels at 1.2917 and 1.3048. A stronger dollar has put pressure on U.S. stocks as expected.

Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines
Earlier this month, the Executive Producer, Erin Prather Stafford, invited me to come and review Wonder Women!. So, on Saturday night, my wife and I took a little trip down to the Dallas Museum of Art and into their Horchow Auditorium to witness a most compelling documentary on the Superheroine and her impact on American society and the Feminist Movement. In most documentaries you can expect a certain amount of dryness, but not so in Wonder Women!.
I was enthralled by the lengths gone to to explore the beginnings of comicdom and the sense of impact the medium has had on the American Culture. Wonder Woman and Lynda Carter's portrayal of the character on television were given primacy as the symbol of female strength, but it didn't stop there, the film included the contributions of many of comic's, television's, and film's strongest female roles.
As the documentary points out, it is kind of ironic that Wonder Woman was seen as such an empowering female figure when she spent much of her early life as an image of submission and weakness. A reader only has to look at what DC turned Wonder Woman into in the 60s, they took her power and put her as the head of her own clothing boutique. It is amazing to find out, however, that it was the work done by the women at Ms. Magazine that got Wonder Woman's mystical powers back into the comics. Women empowering women is really what this film was all about.
As it turns out, men still hold much of the production power over how women are portrayed in the media. Some, such as Joss Whedon, use that power for good (Buffy: The Vampire Slayer), while others, DC and Marvel have a tendency to use it for bad (DC's New 52 take on Catwoman and both companies' oversexualized portrayal of women). Many productions and publications are still relunctant to hire more female creators (again, DC and Marvel). My hopes, and I'm sure the creators of this documentary feel a like sentiment, is that this film and others like it can put a more female empowering message out into the culture. To the Director, Kristy Guevara-Flanagan, and those behind her, I praise your accomplishment.
The audience was awarded a question and answer period with Erin Prather Stafford after the show and below I have the questions I asked and her answers.
Marvel and DC hire few female creators. Do you feel that this film and the creators behind it are helping to change that?
Stafford: I would hope that we are inspiring more inclusion in their publication. There are some creators out there and we hope that their numbers will continue to grow.
When Wonder Woman killed Maxwell Lord, she broke the superhero code not to kill in DC's Universe. Do you see that as empowering or villainizing?
Stafford: It is hard to judge, in one way it is empowering, but I would just hope that it doesn't paint a picture that Wonder Woman can't be strong without being violent. During the DC reboot, they changed her, she is more masculine. They have added to her strength, but it takes away from her compassion.
The Wonder Woman movie is continually thrust back into production limbo while male characters are breaking box office records. How do you see this situation?
Stafford: I think that the last few years have seen an increase in strong female characters in film. We have had the Hunger Games, Brave, the Black Widow in the Avengers movie, and Anne Hathaway's portrayal of Catwoman. I feel that these works have helped to strengthen the female character and I think this would be a great time for the Wonder Woman movie.
Joss Whedon was once attached to the movie and then he turned around and did great things for Avengers. I just hope that whomever gets to work on the film does a great job. If you look at the Elektra movie and Halle Berry's Catwoman, you can see that Hollywood has a trend of making subpar female-headed action movies and then blaming their failures on the fact that a woman had the lead role. I just hope they do a good job.
If you want to watch this amazing documentary, stay tuned to PBS in 2013 because it will be featured on the station's Independent Lens program.

Technical Pro Black Receiver
Most Popular
GREAT BUY! Review by Michael
After 8yrs., this unit still ROCKS! I bought a multi- speaker switch, & I've been rockin' 8 spkrs., using an IPOD or a CD player. Luckly, my neighbors enjoy my taste in music. (Posted on 5/17/2015)
Worth EVERY penny. Review by RONEY
I spent countless hours researching about this receiver before I purchased it. I read MORE good about it than bad. So I purchased it, received it, and finally got it hooked up today to (1) 12" 5-way Technical Pro Speaker and I must say I am VERY pleased and satisfied. (Posted on 3/22/2015)

I am very happy with this receiver. I don't care for the radio tuner but the power I get for my mp3 player and cd play er is killer. Very much worth the price. (Posted on 10/16/2011)

This thing is crazy powerful, I love it. I had a different receiver it went out, I had been eyeballing this one for a while, Oh my Goodness this thing has Juice, It is hooked to two 500 watt 10 inch Speakers, and they go, also I have it hooked to the T.V for the fake Surround sound and I like it much. lol
I give it 4 stars and not 5 because at low levels there is the hum from the power and I can't get rid of it, I have changed power outlets, and up to the high priced power strips and it is still there, also when you turn the power off your settings on the treble and Bass are not saved, other than that it would have been 5 from me.
Love it. (Posted on 8/11/2011)

I rated it 4 due to the am/fm tuner being very hard to 'tune'
This units lighting is neat and can be turned (nearly) off.
The wireless remote is a plus, except the remote does not have off/on capability.
It has DSP 8 settings plus off but I can't find what changes are made for
each setting... the info is not in the manual or at the tpros web site.
A feature that you may or may not like is that this unit will shut its self down if your speakers are not good enough for this unit to operate them.
If I'd have seen item WW22-33733 (the lowest wattage one) first I probably would have bought it instead... it's made by the same company. (Posted on 6/14/2010)

I WAS PLEASED WITH THE POWER THAT THIS LITTLE MONSTER PRODUCED! I HAD IT HOOKED UP TO FOUR PYLE 8 INCH SPEAKERS EQUALLING TO 2400 WATTS, AND IT DISHED OUT AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF BASS! WARNING: DO NOT PRESS THE EXTRA LOUD BUTTON IF YOU ARE NOT READY FOR IT! (Posted on 3/9/2010)

For the money the sound is excellent. I was looking at a Bose system but when my friend heard this sound he said it was not necessary to invest in such a system with the sound he heard from the Technical Pro 1500 watt system. The sound is crisp and strong with no distortion. It competes with the best of units. I am running two KLH audio sound system speakers, a KLH amp base surround sound speaker, and two Technical pro speakers purchased from Heartland America. This amp and speaker mix compets with and pro sound. I perform at The Italian Connection Restaurant in between cooking and the sound system is well received. This is the way to go if you have a limited budget. Alex (Posted on 2/22/2010)

Vesta ish
There is a place nearby me that has the same or a similar oven. They are ul listed, and that is the only reason he didn't end up with literally craigs acunto. The town would not allow it.
Mugnaini's are not built for Neapolitan temps. They have the hardest time keeping temps and they have an even harder time getting past 750F-775F unless you have dumping truck loads of wood in there. Like others have said they are built more towards lower temp NY style, not the blistering temps of Neapolitan.

As we go through our busy days, we have a lot to think about. Unfortunately, as we age, the ability to retain our memories sometimes fades. At times, even the simplest things names, events or tasks that we would have had no problem remembering a few years ago seem to completely slip our minds. Cognitin is specially designed to help maintain healthy blood circulation within the brain. Maintaining proper blood flow to the brain is important in maintaining proper brain function.* Cognitin has a select ingredient combination to enhance memory and inhibit oxidative stress to the brain. Alpha-lipoic acid has antioxidant activity that can scavenge free radicals in the brain to stop the undesirable chain-reaction they cause. Alpha-lipoic acid is both water and fat-soluble and can regenerate endogenous antioxidants, such as vitamin E, vitamin C, and glutathione, and inhibit oxidative stress. Vinpocetine and acetyl l-carnitine help maintain healthy blood circulation in the brain. Cognitin is specially formulated to promote proper blood flow to the brain in order for the brain to maintain peak performance and to infuse the brain with antioxidants to inhibit free radicals activity in the brain.*
*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product(s) is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
- Aids in improving and enhancing memory
- Helps maintain healthy blood circulation within the brain (cerebral blood flow)
- Helps maintain normal brain physiology
- Helps minimize the effects of aging on the brain
- Inhibits oxidative stress/damage to the brain
- Promotes healthy levels of acetylcholine (an important neurotransmitter in the brain)
- Supports normal mental activity
- Supports overall cognitive performance
Acetyl L-Carnitine: 500 mg Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALC) is able to travel through the blood-brain barrier where it supports the normal formation of the brain chemical acetylcholine; it promotes the efficient operation of cells by helping them stay clear of toxic fatty-acid metabolites; and it helps maintain normal brain physiology.*
Chemical messengers like neurotransmitters are vital to maintaining cognitive function yet often decline with age. Studies have shown that ALC promotes overall cognitive performance. ALC promotes normal cognitive function by helping to maintain brain energy production, phospholipid metabolism and acetyl coenzyme A levels. Acetyl coenzyme A is used by the body to re-synthesize acetylcholine.*
Alpha-lipoic acid: 100 mg Deep within the tissue, alpha-lipoic acid is a coenzyme that, together with pyrophosphatase, promotes normal carbohydrate metabolism and production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Deep within the tissues of the brain, alpha-lipoic acid and the metabolite, dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA), have antioxidant components, which help to neutralize damaging free radicals.*
Alpha-lipoic acid is both water and fat-soluble and can regenerate endogenous antioxidants, such as vitamin E, vitamin C, and glutathione, and prevent oxidative stress. Alpha-lipoic acid is about 30 percent absorbed from dietary or supplemental sources, and is reduced to DHLA in many tissues.*
Vinpocetine (Viagra for the Brain): 20 mg Vinpocetine appears to have antioxidant components and supports normal blood flow, which may be beneficial to healthy brain function. Preliminary evidence indicates that vinpocetine supports cerebral circulation and promotes glucose and oxygen consumption by the brain. Vinpocetine's age management benefits may include improved concentration.*
If I am taking OPC-3 ®, can I take Cognitin? The combination of the ingredient vinpocetine and OPC-3 may cause blood thinning, so if you are currently taking warfarin (Coumadin), other antiplatelet/anticoagulant, antidiabetic, chemotherapy or any other prescription drugs, or have an ongoing medical condition, you should consult their physician before taking this product. I get sick taking pills on an empty stomach.
Can I take this with food? Cognitin should be taken with food to improve absorption of the active ingredients.
If I am already taking Vitamind, can I also take Cognitin? The combination of Vitamind and Cognitin is not necessary or recommended. The vinpocetine in Cognitin may interact with the Ginkgo Biloba in Vitamind and may cause the blood to thin.
What other products complement Cognitin? Isotonix ® Maximum ORAC, Isotonix Multivitamin, Heart Health Advanced CoQ10, and Isotonix Advanced B-Complex all complement Cognitin to produce optimal memory levels.
What are signs that I need Cognitin? If you are elderly or if you routinely have difficulty when trying to recall a simple task, name, or event.
What portion of the brain does Cognitin affect*? The entire brain.
What mechanisms does this formulation work by*?
- Aids in improving and enhancing memory
- Supports normal mental activity
- Inhibits oxidative stress on the brain
- Helps maintain healthy blood circulation within the brain (cerebral blood flow)
- Helps maintain normal brain physiology
- Supports overall cognitive performance
- Promotes healthy levels of acetylcholine (an important neurotransmitter in the brain)
- Helps minimize the effects of aging on the brain
When should I start to see a difference? Possibly within two weeks.

I was wonderfully surprised at how fast acting and powerful this product works. I live on vitamin supplements, tried many on the market and found this supplement to be one of the better memory support products out. I was experiencing brain fog, problems recalling names, etc. I don't have that problem anymore. I'm almost out and need to buy another bottle. I don't want to run out because its that good.

I bought this product 6 weeks ago for my father, 87, who had experienced some memory lapses lately. He takes the product at night before he sleeps. Three weeks ago in his rest home apartment, he handed me 6 or 7 pieces of paper that contained diagrams and text as to how workers in the Gulf could contain and capture the leaking oil by relieving the pressure with a series of "capping" towers that would lead to ships that would collect the oil. He wrote to the governor of Louisiana to pass this infomation to engineers and other experts to see if it had merit. "If it works, all I'm asking for is $50 million," he wrote. Now I can't say for sure that Cognitin was THE factor that prompted him to take action, but he's certainly taken a greater interest in what's happening in the Gulf, and he's been writing and calling news stations (CNN, MSNBC, Glenn Beck, Fox News, etc.), and will share his solution to the problem to anyone who will listen. The residents of the rest home know his solution all too well by now. I think my dad is already counting ways he can spend that $50 million. God knows he needs a new pair of sneakers!

DeMaio's Landlord Endorsement Demonstrates His Opposition to Affordable Housing
Affordable Housing Advocates Say Apartment Association and DeMaio Both Worked Against San Diego's Middle Class
SAN DIEGO – (Wednesday, August 15, 2012) – Carl DeMaio today announced the endorsement of the San Diego County Apartment Association, attempting to spin the landlord group's endorsement to appeal to moderate voters. However, the record says otherwise -- mayoral candidate Carl DeMaio and the Apartment Association are wrong on affordable housing issues.
Carl DeMaio understandably hopes to whitewash his record of standing with developers and those profiting from the great recession at the expense of struggling San Diegans, but his new-found need to court moderate voters doesn't change the truth. While local families look for better opportunities to stay in San Diego and grow the middle class, Carl DeMaio stands with the developers and landlords who continue to push for more of the same policies that got us into an emergency housing crisis.
Affordable housing has reached a crisis level in San Diego. Rents have become increasingly unaffordable as home ownership has declined, and the landlord group has regularly resisted efforts like the Affordable Housing Linkage Fee program, Renters Rights rules that protect families from unfair renting policies, and lead paint protections that would promote safe and affordable housing.
DeMaio and the landlords have both opposed policies that help San Diego families afford housing at every turn, according to affordable housing advocates:

"We can as easily become a prisoner of so-called positive thinking as of negative thinking. It too can be confining, fragmented, inaccurate, illusory, self-serving, and wrong. Another element altogether is required to induce transformation in our lives and take us beyond the limits of thought."
– Whereever You Go There You Are by Jon Kabat-Zinn
I have a love/get the hell away from me relationship with advice. On any given day, I'll call up my phone tree, asking various friends for their specific insight. Sometimes the advice is helpful, other times… not so much. Poor advice is normally dished out because:
- The person has no experience with what you're going through but feels compelled to say something
- Someone thinks they understand what you're going through and tries to relate
- People tell you what they'd want to hear if they were in your situation
Honestly, I very rarely receive good advice. This is because good advice is partly about tactical information (what practical steps can you take to fix your situation), and partly about giving advice that broadens recipient's perspective and understanding of what's going on. Advice is another type of insight, but not everyone's "insight" is particularly helpful or enlightening. This is basically why I hate "positive thinking" advice.
"Positive thinking" advice is fluffy and doesn't provide the recipient with any methods on how to make their situation better. Additionally, many people who dish out this type of advice come off as being poor listeners and unsympathetic to what their friend is going through:
- "To never focus on what's bothering you, look forward to the outcome."
- "It could be worse, just stay positive."
- "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
- "Life is what you make it."
I understand the rationale behind "positive thinking" advice. The person thinks they're behaving in an open-minded, compassionate and sensitive manner. More often than not, this isn't the case. The problem is that it falls into all three categories of bad advice giving:
- The advice given is very general with assumption that it can be applied to all situations for all persons.
- People rarely know what to say sometimes, so "positive thinking" advice fills that void. It's self-serving, because the advice giver can feel a bit better about themselves having offered their "support".
- Despite what the recipient is going through, the advice giver feels that their advice is something that all people need to hear because THEY tell it to themselves frequently.
Giving bad advice, particularly in the vein of constant "positive thinking" advice, can definitely leave a sour taste in one's mouth. It can make someone reluctant to speak with you, or ask for your opinion, because it constantly comes across as you never listening. It's also impressively disempowering when you're pouring your problems out to a friend, and they dish you a piece of advice that makes it seem like you're irrational for being upset or your frustrations are unfounded or unwarranted.
If you can't give good advice, don't give any advice at all. Trust me, the world won't end if you admit to not knowing what to say.

Above and beyond the call of duty
This memorandum, dated December 20, 1954, from Marine Corps Major James V. Wilkins to the Secretary of the Navy describes Lieutenant John K. Koelsch's brave deeds during the Korean War. The major recommends that Koelsch be awarded the Navy Cross. Koelsch was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.

text: About this set: ** Many thanks to PCGS for honoring this set as "Best Exhibited Set" for 2009!! ** Highlighted by the amazing Eliasberg 1893-S and Norweb 1895-O dollars, the finest known 1892-O and 1903-S dollars (both ex Eliasberg), and a number of "monster-toned" MS67 and MS68 coins, the Sunnywood Collection includes this complete Registry set plus many equally beautiful duplicates. The goal of this endeavor was to show the numismatic community that Morgans can be collected with originality and color, and need not be dipped "blast white." Specifically, the owner has sought to collect gem-quality Morgan dollars with colorful natural toning on the obverse. Sunnywood has tried to strike a balance between color and technical grade; thus Registry ranking has sometimes been sacrificed for the sake of eye appeal. Each toned coin has a very distinctive appearance and personality that results from its decades of history. The result is a fascinating collection with great eye appeal that was highly challenging to assemble. Many common dates can be found with dramatic and vibrant multi-colored rainbow Mint bag toning. Among these, there are also coins that can be found with fascinating patterns acquired from contact with the burlap canvas of the Mint bags ("textile toners"), or with roll-paper toning acquired by coins at the ends of bank-wrapped rolls ("end rollers"). For many other dates, however, it becomes a challenge to find any attractive original examples. Some of the rarer dates are virtually unknown in mint state with nice natural color; in those cases original specimens from the great collections such as Eliasberg and Norweb are the Holy Grail. Sunnywood considers the "Basic Set" to be exactly 100 coins: the 97 included here by PCGS, plus the three significant hub varieties (1878 Rev. of '79, 1879-S Rev. of '78, and 1880/79-CC Rev. of '78). Please also be sure to visit our Registry set of duplicates, which offers many additional colorful pieces. It may be found around #138 on the Current Finest list in this category. There are also a few triplicates in a another set down around #276. Thanks for stopping by !!
