Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (31 votes).
In full: I arrived 90 minutes before the start and parked up without any problems, but 30 minutes later is was bedlam , with no marshalls to direct traffic. The organisers were a bit slow setting up registration and the start was delayed by 15 minutes. The race itself was brilliant. Great course. Great location. Some tough hills. Running through a couple of fast flowing streams. I'll definitely be back for some more. Note to organisers; Would have been nice to have a proper prize giving instead of handing out trophies as you crossed the line. Maybe a team prize too next time. All in all it was a great day.Date of review: December 31, 2012
In short: A great race which has outgrown itself.In full: Too many runners for the facilities. Car parking was a joke, arriving an hour before the start I was directed up a logging track only to meet a queue of cars trying to reverse back down! There were cars parked along all the surrounding roads , even across the race route. I must have missed the water station/goody bags though I was in early enough to get a T-shirt & bottle of water.That said I enjoyed the course again, signs were abundant and the increased numbers meant there was more support on the route.Date of review: December 31, 2012
In short: My toes have thawed out!In full: The uphills weren't as bad as expected but the descents with all the mud were treacherous. The tunnels were longer than expected and if the water had been much higher, I think they would have had to find a diversion. Only problems were parking, registration which delayed the start and running out of T-shirts although pre-entered athletes could send an e-mail to get one. A really challenging event but needs a few tweaks.Date of review: December 30, 2012
In short: great fun!In full: I turned up early and had no parking issues. However, the race has outgrown the facilities available and I saw several cars stuck in mud and others who had to park miles away. Apart from that though it was a great fun race. Exceptionally muddy after all the rain and the river crossings throughout the tunnels were more challenging than they might have otherwise been. If I'd been able to take in the scenery instead of watching my step everywhere I know I'd be raving about that but today it was just a real fun watery slog!!!Date of review: December 30, 2012
In short: Muddy Fun Run but organisation a bit lackingIn full: Poor communications (or none) ahead of the race and organisers caught out by the numbers who turned up so parking was difficult. Nevertheless it was a great fun and very muddy race. I will be back. I did not see the water station at 5km but personally did not need it. Overall - something in this race for everybody in this race -as long as they like mud. Date of review: December 30, 2012
In short: Deserves to be a lot more popular, great start to 2012In full: Great hidden gem of a race. Race was very low key, but very efficient at the same time. No fault of the organizers but the toilets at the start were shut, however they directed us to the nearest toilets (which fortunately were open!)and we managed to get back in time for the start, so thumbs up for that. I ran on the back of getting over festive flu and so took it nice and steady at the back (apologies to the poor runners around me for my constant coughing!) Seven hills over seven miles, first few were tough, the latter ones, had I been at full fitness were pretty runnable. Very muddy due to the recent rain, so very slippy in places and did see one poor lady lose a shoe. However, the hidden 'treat' came at just over halfway when a very friendly marshal directed us with a big grin down into the icy thigh high water and through a tunnel to cross under the road, this was repeated again just before the end, very soggy cold feet, but at least my trainers were nice and clean to get back in the car!Great marshaling, thanks guys, great organisation, and despite not having my own dog to run with thought it was a really nice touch to have the Cani event start 15 mins before the lone 2 legged competitors.Great start to 2012, only 1 quibble would have loved a medal rather than the earphone memento (interesting choice given the majority of races claim to ban MP3's!??!) would have been the icing on the cake! Big thumbs up, will definitely be back next year.Date of review: January 2, 2012
In short: An excellent well marked course, friendly and efficient organisation.In full: I really enjoyed this run. The course is excellent with seven challenging hills but not ridiculously hard.I even quite liked wading through the rivers in the tunnels although it was a bit cold on the feet!Deserves to have a bigger number of entrants.Date of review: January 2, 2012

About the Author: Mike Smith leads the Global Peace Operations Initiative (GPOI) program management team in the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs.
Over the past decade, global demand has spiked for soldiers, police officers, and diplomats to serve on international peacekeeping missions stabilizing some of the world's most challenging hotspots. A few weeks ago, I traveled to Egypt with Ted Tanoue, Deputy Director, Office of Peace Operations, Sanctions, and Counterterrorism, with the State Department's Bureau of International Organizations, where we met with U.S. peacekeeping partners from more than 35 countries and several international organizations to consider new ways we can turn talk into action and support hundreds of millions of people around the world struggling to stop the violence and set the stage for recovery in their countries.
This forum, known as "The G8++ Global Peace Support Operations Capacity Building Clearinghouse," has a mouthful of a name, but it also has an important mission: to bring together everyone involved in peacekeeping capacity building -- the United Nations and regional bodies such as the European Union and the African Union; leading financial supporters, including the United States, Japan, Germany, and the United Kingdom; and major contributors of peacekeeping personnel such as India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nigeria to enhance cooperation and improve our collective ability to work together and help countries emerge from conflict.
The United States initiated this forum in 2007, and the United Kingdom hosted its second meeting in 2008. Egypt, a significant contributor of peacekeeping personnel, did a great job hosting the December 2009 deliberations -- the first non-G8 country to do so. South Korea volunteered to host our next meeting in 2010, which we hope will spur increased interest in peacekeeping among Asian countries.
As representatives of the United States, we focused intensively on President Obama's commitment to help strengthen America's support of international peacekeeping. One key way we accomplish this is "capacity building," or matching countries willing to provide personnel with the training, equipment, and other kinds of support needed to get the job done. In this respect, the conference was also a great opportunity to catch up with several international colleagues I work with through the Global Peace Operations Initiative (GPOI), a U.S.-led effort to build foreign countries' capacities to conduct peacekeeping operations.
The United States has long been the world's top financial contributor to UN peacekeeping operations, providing on average more than one quarter of the international organization's budget to support more than 116,000 "blue helmets," police, and civilians working to secure the peace and protect at-risk populations in 15 peacekeeping missions around the world. In recent years, the United States has also stepped up international efforts to meet a growing demand for more trained personnel and equipment to strengthen international efforts to stabilize some of the world's most challenging hotspots.
That's where GPOI comes in. Launched following the 2004 G-8 Sea Island Summit in support of the G-8 Action Plan to Expand Global Capability for Peace Support Operations, GPOI currently provides training and other peacekeeping capacity building support to 59 partner countries and regional organizations around the world, about half of which are located in Africa.
Over the years there were questions about whether GPOI would achieve its goal to train and equip 75,000 peacekeepers worldwide by 2010. But this summer, the State Department announced that it surpassed its GPOI goal a year early, training more than 103,000 foreign peacekeepers so far, as well as facilitating the deployment of over 70,000 peacekeeping forces to 19 United Nations, African Union, and other regional peace support operations around the globe.
A few weeks before I headed to Cairo, GPOI launched Phase II (running from Fiscal Years 2010 to 2014), during which we plan to build on its successful partnerships and shift our focus from direct training by U.S. trainers to activities that increase the self-sufficiency of GPOI partners to train peacekeepers on their own. By doing so, GPOI will further multiply the number of future peacekeeping forces and empower partner countries to strengthen their own roles in the shared global challenge of increasing and sustaining peace.
It is in all of our interests to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of peacekeeping. Through GPOI, initiatives such as the clearinghouse, stepped-up diplomatic efforts to mediate conflicts, and U.S. engagement at the UN to further strengthen peacekeeping capabilities, the United States is ready now more than ever to do its part in the name of promoting peace.

About the Author: Robert O. Blake serves as Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs.
I had the pleasure this week of meeting several alumni from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IITK). They are planning an extraordinary celebration on July 9-10 in Washington commemorating IITK's 50th anniversary. IITK has distinguished itself for a half-century for its commitment to technology innovation, much of it the result of a close U.S.-India collaboration.
From 1961-1972, USAID supported the Kanpur Indo-American Program (KIAP), which helped to bring heralded faculty members from Berkeley, M.I.T., Princeton, and other U.S. consortium universities to IIT-Kanpur to serve as visiting professors. The results were transformative. The KIAP program helped IITK become one of the most prestigious universities in India. The ITT-Kanpur 50th Anniversary Golden Jubilee will likely be an amazing event, where substantive policy discussions will take place amongst a celebratory atmosphere.
On the heels of the U.S.-India Strategic Dialogue, my meeting with the IITK alumni underscored to me the valuable legacy of cooperation that our two countries share, especially in the area of education. During our conversation, Mr. Rakesh Pandey, an innovation and business consultant from the Boston area, recalled an extraordinary story from the KIAP-era, when a professor from M.I.T. arrived in Kanpur for his assignment. The professor's research focused on image processing systems -- including televisions (he later helped pioneer digital and HD television) -- and to the excitement of students and staff at IIT-Kanpur, he introduced broadcast television to Kanpur. Also, as the U.S. Ambassador to India from 1961-63, John Kenneth Galbraith passionately advocated for an innovation-focused curriculum by helping to introduce a Computer Science program to IITK, making it the first Indian Institute to offer such a course of study. And to demonstrate how effective these exchanges were in fostering higher educational cohesiveness between the United States and India, one need only look to Dr. Satish Kulkarni, one of IITK alumni committee members, who served as our Science Counselor at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi and is now Associate Vice President of Georgetown University. Dr. Kulkarni is just one of more than 5,000 IITK alumni living and working in the United States!
As the ITT-Kanpur 50th Anniversary Golden Jubilee fast approaches, I find myself reminded once again of the myriad ways our two great nations can collaborate to solve the most pressing challenges of the 21st century and the dynamic role the Indian-American community plays in our two great countries.

O.C. in USA writes:
It would be nice to take the principles IITK and bring them down to the middle and elementary school level so that all of India's poor have a chance at a quality technical education. We should be taking the ideas that work for India's students and incorporating them into our own curriculum. America's children deserve to be numerate and literate and we should be following India's example where children are eager and excited to learn difficult, technical subjects.

great to hear about cooperation in education...i wish some one pays little attention to mass housing and food processing industry in india.

Here's sexy sexpot [Ed. note: We're required by Internet law to introduce her that way.] Kate Upton on her way into Madison Square Garden Monday night with her gorgeous black and white Celine Luggage Tote. Kate had a casual, court-side date with the New York Knicks. Could anything be more distracting for the opposing team than having a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover girl chilling out just out of bounds? Well played, Knicks. Well played.
Kate is the second celeb we've featured this week with a Celine tote on her arm. The Celine Luggage Tote, in all of its varities (including Phantom and Nano) is a bona fide celeb fave for 2012. For a comprehensive breakdown of all the celebs with Celine totes in their closet (Kate Upton has at least two), check out "Celebs and their Celine Luggage Totes: A Retrospective". Irritatingly enough, despite the fact that it's reached full celeb market saturation, you still can't buy one of these online. (We're holding out for a resolution to that in 2013.)

Easy Chicken and Rice Soup Recipe
Most of my family lives in Illinois where I grew up, but my sister and her family live here in Utah. I am lucky I get to see my niece and nephew on a regular basis. They have been dealing with some health issues/sickness, so "Aunt Ria" came to the rescue.
I made them a big pot of chicken rice soup. Soup is supposed to make everything better, right? Plus, I knew my niece would love this soup, chicken is her favorite. The soup is full of vegetables, chicken, and rice. The fresh thyme adds great flavor too. I made a big batch so they could freeze some soup for a rainy day.
My sister's family really enjoyed the soup…and so did Josh-I saved him a bowl:) If you are feeling under the weather or know someone who is, make this soup. It will help soothe the soul. Oh, and I also made them a batch of Oreo Brownies-of course they were a hit too:) Happy weekend everyone!
Easy Chicken and Rice Soup
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 2 celery ribs, halved lengthwise, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 4 fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 quarts chicken stock or broth (we use low sodium)
- 1 cup of water
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken breasts
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Place a soup pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, thyme and bay leaf. Cook and stir for about 6 minutes, until the vegetables are softened but not browned. Pour in the chicken broth and water- bring the liquid to a boil. Add in the rice and chicken; season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium-low until the rice is tender-about 30 minutes. Serve hot.
*Note-for the shredded chicken I used 2 large chicken breasts. I boiled a pot of water on the stove and added in the chicken-which I cut into large pieces. Boil the chicken until it is cooked all the way through and there is no pink left. This will take about 7 minutes or so. Drain the water and shred the chicken once it is cooled. I use 2 forks to shred the chicken. *

At King Hussein Medical Centre
Amman, Jordan
7 February 2009
(Translated from Arabic)
In the Name of God, the Most Merciful, the Compassionate,
My Dear Brothers,
I salute your efforts.
I wanted to join your celebration today, commemorating the life of Al Hussein [King Hussein Bin Talal]; Al Hussein the leader, the builder and the humanitarian, may he rest in peace.
Al Hussein departed this world ten years ago today and left to Jordan and the Jordanians great achievements in all spheres of life - medical, educational, economic, social and others. These achievements would not have been realised had it not been for Al Hussein's will and the determination and sacrifices of the sons and daughters of this nation. They have made huge strides despite limited resources and despite the war, conflict and instability faced by the peoples of this region throughout the past decades.
We meet today to express our pride in and our appreciation of the many favours with which we were endowed by Al Hussein and his companions. They made possible these achievements that should serve as a model and a source of inspiration for us, so that we will continue to build on these achievements and strive for more in all spheres of life.
This centre, King Hussein Medical Centre, was Al Hussein's gift to the sons and daughters of this generous nation. It is a valuable and cherished gift that has a special place in the hearts and minds of every Jordanian. Out of our loyalty to Al Hussein and as part of our duty to our country and people, we must preserve this civic achievement.
We will work to develop and modernise this great medical facility - to expand its resources and capabilities and provide it with the latest technology and efficient human resources. This support will enable it to carry out its noble humanitarian mission and preserve its distinguished services and prestige.
Here today, I announce the launch of a campaign to rally our friends, Al Hussein's friends and other concerned parties around the world to secure the necessary funding - JD200 million - to upgrade the King Hussein Medical Centre.
Once again, my brothers, let me reiterate that my pride in you and in the King Hussein Medical Centre is unlimited. Rest assured that this institution has my unwavering attention and care, and God willing, we will soon draft plans and programmes that will be implemented without delay to develop and modernise this important medical facility.
I salute you and appreciate your efforts and those of every Jordanian in this beloved country.

Purchase 12 or more at a time and get discounted pricing at $7.95 per set. This is about a $25 savings!
- 2" x 2", includes set of 4
- 2" x 4", includes set of 2
The Pin Electrode Pads can be used with the Compex Fitness Classic and Sport Classic units. Available for connection with Compex pin wire cables only (not for snap on cables).
Product Details
Compex electrodes are used during muscle stimulation with Compex devices. The electrodes play a big part in the Compex muscle stimulation session. They are the points where the pulses are transmitted to your motor nerves, and ultimately your muscle fibers. If the Compex electrodes aren't adhering properly, the electrical pulse can't be delivered at the intensity needed to work your muscle at peak effectiveness.
A Compex electrode is coated with a strong medical-grade adhesive, developed to stick to your skin. Used in normal circumstances, a Compex electrode should last 15 to 20 sessions.
You need to replace these muscle stimulation electrodes when any of the following situations arise:
(a) They won't adhere to your skin
(b) When the same intensity setting of the program creates less intense or uncomfortable muscle contractions
(c) A build-up of lint or dust covers the surface.

A positive change for Delta County
Our community is changing.
Tuesday, it was announced the area's largest employer, NewPage, was being purchased by Verso Paper Corp. The $1.4 billion sale is expected to be completed later this year. From all indications, this looks like a change that will help both the area and the Escanaba paper mill that the area's economy relies so heavily on.
Company officials expect that the union of the two companies will only make the corporation stronger. In the words of Verso President and CEO David J. Paterson "The combination of Verso and NewPage will create a stronger business that is better positioned to serve our customers and compete in a competitive global marketplace."
We couldn't agree more. We believe the Escanaba mill will continue to be the valuable asset it has always been – both to Verso and the local community.
The Escanaba mill's record of productivity and efficiency speaks for itself. It would be a asset to any company that owned it. It has value in the business world.
The mill has an even greater value to the area's economy. It employs 996 workers. It buys more than two million tons of pulpwood and sawmill chips annually from more than 150 independent logging contractors. It purchases goods, supplies and services from local companies. All of this trickles through the local economy impacting everyone and everything from stores to schools.
The Escanaba mill is the anchor of the local economy. We believe the purchase of NewPage by Verso is a positive development for the area.
Our community and its major employer have changed in the past. Mead Corp. became MeadWestvaco. MeadWestvaco became NewPage. Now it is time for Verso Paper Corp. to become a member of our community – a positive change for the area.
Welcome to Delta County Verso.

International education is vital to strengthening economies and societies in the United States and around the world. More and more people and governments recognize its importance. This year we are excited to partner with schools, communities, and U.S. embassies around the world to celebrate the 13th annual International Education Week.
We kicked off the week with our International Virtual College Fair, the largest international virtual college fair in history with participation from almost 200 U.S colleges and universities from all 50 states. We paired them with our team of expert advisors from EducationUSA to help students around the world who want to come to the United States to study. It's been a huge success with over 21,000 attendees over a 24-hour period!
Yesterday, to launch International Education Week, we released the 2012 Open Doors report. It contains a wealth of good news and encouraging trends in international education. This year, we broke three key records.
• First, over 764,000 international students came to the United States -- up 6 percent from last year and a new record. International students' cultures, traditions, and diverse backgrounds enrich our classrooms and communities so it's vital that we continue to open our campuses.
• Second, 274,000 American students studied abroad, which is an increase from the year before. What's most exciting is that American students are going to more diverse destinations, outside the traditional Western European locations. These new connections and experiences are vital to help our American citizens in a 21st century workplace.
• Finally, higher education continues to be one of the United States' most important exports. This year, international students in all 50 states contributed $22.7 billion to the U.S. economy, making it a growth industry even in tough economic times.
International education creates strong, lasting relationships between the United States and emerging leaders worldwide. From climate change to food security, these future entrepreneurs, engineers, journalists, policymakers, scientists, and scholars will work together to solve shared global challenges.
Please enjoy the video we created in honor of International Education Week. We asked students around the world to share their pictures of where international education had taken them and saw how study abroad had expanded their world.
It's clear our doors must open both ways. The two-way flow of young people among countries creates not only new friendships, but also generates new perspectives. By increasing the number of international students coming to study here and the number of Americans going to study abroad, we amplify the positive influence the United States can have on the world -- and vice versa!

As a college student, I love to see that more international students are coming to American universities. It makes for a much more enriching educational experience for students like me who might not get the opportunity to study abroad. Even though I probably won't get that experience, I get a glimpse into other cultures every day. I love to see that you all are celebrating this trend.

Yukon Gold Potatoes: Jacques Pepin Style
- 3 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 to 3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Place the potatoes in a deep skillet and add salt and pepper, to taste. Cover potatoes halfway with chicken stock, about 3 cups, add the butter and cover skillet with a lid. Cook the potatoes in the stock until almost tender, about 5 to 8 minutes, depending upon the size of the potatoes. Remove the lid and allow the stock to evaporate, about another 5 minutes. Once the stock has evaporated pop each potato using a ladle or large spoon, creating a small crack in each, but do not smash. Allow the potatoes to brown on each side, another 5 minutes, and re-season with salt and pepper, if necessary or desired. Remove the browned potatoes from the skillet and place onto a serving platter, garnished with the parsley.

Green and Blue
I really love this color combination. I had a dream about this outfit and then woke up and tried it. My subconscious was right, it really works. I think I look a little like an easter egg. But oh well. Still works.
I'm performing tomorrow and I'm sick. Please think about me and put good thoughts in the air so that I can dance and spin on my aerial fabric without falling or sneezing on the crowd.
Happy Easter, y'all.

The following MSPs are asking questions in the Scottish Parliament on Thursday that are Forest connected. I would recommend that as many folk as possible contact these politicians, pointing out that the issue they are raising has connections to the Forest. Out of the three folk in question, only Sarah Boyack is an Edinburgh MSP but you could always point out to the other pair's city colleagues about the connection.
Sarah Boyack (Edinburgh Central): To ask the Scottish Executive what recent discussions it has had with Historic Scotland regarding the former Odeon Cinema on Clerk Street, Edinburgh. (S3O-13216)
Contact details – http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/MSP/MembersPages/sarah_boyack/contact.htm
Elaine Murray (Dumfries, Labour): To ask the Scottish Executive what the powers and responsibilities of Historic Scotland and local authorities are regarding the protection of historic buildings. (S3O-13241)
Johann Lamont (Glasgow Pollok, Labour): To ask the Scottish Executive what support is provided to community arts initiatives. (S3O-13230)
You can find out the names and contact details of the MSPs who represent you from this link.
Happy to draft a template letter to send if needed but won't get a chance until this evening.

by John MacArthur
Among many pastors and church leaders today there is a popular rationale that proclaiming truth is the viable alternative to rebuking error. Rather than wrestling with false teachers and their heresies, they're content to cover their eyes, plug their ears, and "stay positive" in their teaching.
But there is no either/or when it comes to preaching the truth and confronting error—that's a false, unbiblical dichotomy that contradicts the examples we see throughout Scripture. In his letter to Titus, the apostle Paul made it clear that both duties are fundamental to the work of a church leader:
For the overseer must be above reproach as God's steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine, not pugnacious, not fond of sordid gain, but hospitable, loving what is good, sensible, just, devout, self-controlled, holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict. (Titus 1:7–9)
For the overseer must be above reproach as God's steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine, not pugnacious, not fond of sordid gain, but hospitable, loving what is good, sensible, just, devout, self-controlled, holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict. (Titus 1:7–9)
Pacifism has never been a pastoral option in the war for people's souls. Any pastor who teaches faithfully is called both to exhort believers in sound doctrine, and to refute those who oppose sound doctrine.
Pastors have the God-given obligation to cultivate discernment among their congregations. And that discernment is needed to give their people an understanding of the truth necessary to protect them from the ubiquitous error that incessantly assaults them. Antilegō (to refute) means literally "to speak against." The Lord's preachers and teachers are to be polemicists against unsound doctrine that goes under the guise of biblical truth.
Not long after Paul himself ministered in Crete, "many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision," were causing trouble and confusion in the churches there (Titus 1:10). They were not to be ignored, much less tolerated, but were to "be silenced because they [were] upsetting whole families, teaching things they should not teach, for the sake of sordid gain" (Titus 1:11). They were particularly dangerous because they arose from within the congregations. "They profess to know God," Paul said, "but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient, and worthless for any good deed" (Titus 1:16).
Even the spiritually mature church at Ephesus was not immune to false teaching. "I know that after my departure," Paul warned elders from that church, "savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them" (Acts 20:29–30).
Although false teachers in the church exist under many guises, they all, in one way or another, contradict biblical truth. They are the enemies of sound doctrine and, therefore, of God and His people. Simply to accept Scripture as the inerrant Word of God does not protect against its being misunderstood or even perverted. To give personal insights and decisions of church councils authority equal to Scripture is to contradict God's Word—just as surely as is denying the deity of Christ or the historicity of His resurrection. The final warning of Scripture is: "I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God shall add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book" (Revelation 22:18–19, emphasis added).
The dual role of the godly preacher and teacher is to proclaim and to defend God's Word. In the eyes of the world and, tragically, in the eyes of many genuine but untaught believers, to denounce false doctrine—especially if that doctrine is given under the guise of evangelicalism—is to be unloving, judgmental, and divisive. But compromising Scripture in order to make it more palatable and acceptable, whether to believers or to unbelievers, is not "speaking the truth in love" (Ephesians 4:15). It is speaking falsehood and is the furthest thing from godly love. It is a subtle, deceptive, and dangerous way to contradict God's own Word. The faithful pastor must have no part in it. He himself tolerates, and he teaches his people to tolerate, only sound doctrine.
All Christians share the biblical mandate to cultivate biblical discernment. Remaining passive in the church and ignoring the cancerous effects of false teaching is a serious dereliction of our duty as believers. We are to be equipped with the biblical tools necessary to identify, expose, repudiate, and excommunicate all wolves who sneak into the church. Out of love for Christ, His people, and the pure exclusive gospel that He delivered, each of us must take up arms in the ongoing war for the truth.

You are right to the core as always, John MacArthur.
When I read the written records of the Apostles, and their fight to keep their congregations pure and holy, and solely devoted to our beloved Lord, by teaching sound doctrines, and find that many of the churches in Asia have left to go back to the world, based on another Gospel, I feel the greaves that occupied the heart of God, Jesus and the Apostles. I too feel that the crucifixion of our beloved Lord is without effect in the hearts of many, clearly showing by being devoted to unfruitful deeds.
The love of sin is what characterizes the ungodly. They do not have the Holy Spirit.

I agree it must be done to keep the gospel pure. Even Paul rebuked Peter when he was wrong. Galations 2:11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him in public, because he was clearly wrong.
There are many scriptures on confronting...
True love cares enough to confront.
Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
but an enemy multiplies kisses. (Prov 27:5-6)

You are right and since your blog is making the the suggestion I am compelled into action. Your teaching of the doctrine of election is completely false and void of grace thru faith. God is not picking and choosing people to be saved solely for His own pleasure nor is anyone excluded because of so called sovereign will of grace only God given to a few. This elitist lie must stop and you need to lead the way to see past all the deception that has been placed on this dangerous doctrine of the church. This doctrine does not fully place the responsibly of people to teach and receive the elect one of God (Jesus) the elect message of God(Gospel) so they can be the elect according to His word and not by lottery or chance. I have heard you teach on man's responsibility, so let's keep to that truth and stop making salvation a chance selection of God that seems to be void of His not being a respecter of persons and love for all instead of a select few. Also your teaching on the office of deacons being given to women is completely absurd. She will never be the husband of one wife unless there is a change of heart concerning marriage that should be of some other worries. Let's let the men be responsible and in authority and give women a break. This is not to say that women cannot serve in the church but the place of leading responsible persons in the spiritual church has always be given to man. Tell the men not to be slackers and serve others in the church. Remember what happened before Adam's sin, he was following instead of servant leading. Please look at these two doctrines and have a change of belief so that the fellowship of the universal church can hopefully become stronger. You are a great leader and I admire your hard work and dedication to holding to so many truths. You have written in the past that you know you could be fallible and hope you could go back and look over your teaching. I hope by saying that you are a far better teacher then myself will not deter you from seeing that these two doctrines need a truthful explanation that fits all of scripture then just the passage or word studies that support this view. I truly want to meet you sometime and thank you for all the hard work you have done. Hopefully that work would include you seeing that we are His elect because of the work on the cross and not by some random lottery. Well it was hard to write but you did say we should speak up so I hope we can corresponded regarding this issue but if this what divides us then I am glad it is a short list. Also this is Anthony Mancuso, it's just my wife that uses this log in because she gets me your books for Christmas and birthdays. You are the best but even the best sometimes needs some tweaks in doctrine to be even better. I hope to receive a new book written by you that talks about a new perspective on severity, election and deaconship that upholds all of scripture and I am sure I will learn greatly from it. Thanks
I agree with what you say here wholeheartedly. BUT!!! When my pastor will not ... what am I to do? When my pastor is one of those love, love, love, happy, happy, happy--will not rebuke false teachers, what then? When my pastor will not tell his congregants the reason why they shouldn't be attending Joel Osteen (i.e.) conferences, etc., what then?
As I said, I do agree with you. I just wish I would hear some instruction for the congregant attending a church where a pastor will not take this seriously.
I think we forget sometimes that Paul was one of those he is warning us about. If Saul of Tarsus were alive today would we think he was finally and ultimately condemned already? Would anyone pray for the salvation of a person who hated Jesus and His church that much? Would we pray for one who used the name of God to mislead the masses as he and his group did?
#3 Dawn Mancuso.
These words are actually used and described further many places in the Bible. Even our Lord makes a clear distinction about those called for salvation, and the rest.
So denying what the Bible clearly says, is not an option for those who want to know the truth.
Anthony (#3),
I appreciate your zeal to correct what you see to be error, but understand the intention of this post is not to encourage believers to rebuke anyone who disagrees with them on anything. Rather, the focus is on rebuking false teachers who are leading people away from the gospel and causing serious division. Judging by your comment it doesn't appear that you would consider John MacArthur a false teacher, but instead disagree on a couple matters.
Also judging by your comment I don't sense that you have an accurate understanding of John's teaching on election and the doctrines of grace. So I would highly recommend you invest the time to read or listen to this series of messages where the whole Bible is brought to bear on the subject.
On the matter of deacons there is a fair amount of disagreement among faithful Bible teachers. There are a number of important biblical considerations that one must weigh before coming to a conclusion. If you haven't heard the messages John has preached, you can listen to them here: Qualified Servants for the Church: Deacons, Part 1 and Part 2.
If you would like a book, you can find relevant material in The Master's Plan for the Church.
I have the feeling you haven't really studied the doctrine of election or you wouldn't be calling God's (good) will the "lottery" (Eph 1:5). RC Sproul has been teaching on this doctrine this week (a rerun). I'm sure you would find it interesting, even if you eventually still disagree with all the "elitist liars".
Really? Again?
No one is making a final judgment about a false teacher's eternal destination. I'm sure most everybody here knows Mat 5:44. You may want to re-examine your perception of Dr. MacArthur's motivation.
Thank you Mr. Enders. I am surprise and grateful you would take time to discuss this with me as I work out my salvation. I have the greatest regard for Dr. MacArthur and to be honest my fifteen year search for an unashamed truth teller ended six years ago when I heard him. That is when a big spiritual growth began for me. He is one of the three or four that I would recommend to everyone. I hope I have not impugned his motives here. If I have forgive me. I am sure if that is true I am in more danger than just a rebuke from men. I have the highest degree of certainty that John MacArthur speaks to us in love as a man call by God to preach to the masses. And to his church, I say thanks for sharing him. His careful dedication to the details of scripture will out live him for sure. You could say that I know God used him to love me. However, I know that John MacArthur loves ALL the lost also, and like Jesus he would not want any to perish even though some will. I am just saying; what would it hurt to teach the complete categories that Jesus uses for enemy while teaching about the worst enemies, to date, the church and Jesus has ever had? It seems to me that if we don't speak about hope for the deceivers as well as the deceived, then we have judged the future as if it is the present. I think Jesus can do both but I don't think we can.
Thank you John for your always fair and balanced teaching. You have encouraged our family so much to study the scriptures on our own and to rightly divide the Word. We have never been misled nor have your teachings not upheld the mandates of scripture. Again, thank you!
Thanks, brother John, for the post. I recently stepped down from a leadership position due to a passiveness (and acceptance) by our elders regarding false teaching that is going on in the church by some lay-people, if that makes sense. There seems to be a movement within the "Evangelical" church away from scripture, and more towards "experience", or "what God is telling me". It is really bad when there is no scripture to back up such things. It grieves my heart to see so many biblically-illiterate people in the church today.
God bless you for doing what you did! I hope that you are a beginning of a trend. My family's past was one of sitting under pastors slowly following the crowd instead of Christ. I know that God will continue to sustain you through all of this. God bless you!
I am a pastor of a very small church (attendance about 15). Every time I try to point out the differences of what people believe, one church member says I am being judgmental. (You should hear the way he says it.)
Several years ago when the Southern Baptist Convention was held in Salt Lake City, Utah, they sent material for us to teach our church members what Mormons really believe.
One deacon told me that I was being divisive and he did not want to hear about other religions. he said he did not want all that "Greek and hebrew stuff." "Just preach the Word," he said. "That's how you preach the word, I said. Now that deacon is pastoring another church.
Another woman left my current church because I was doing a series on the doctrines that Baptists believe. She said she would come back when I quit preaching doctrine. She said that she already had her own doctrine. She did, and it was off the wall. She has never come back and I haven't changed my preaching.
Gabriel Powell #7
I think you're on staff at GTY... I (and quite probably many others) would find it really helpful if you or even Pastor John could give some specific examples of things (1) that "are leading people away from the gospel and causing serious division" and (2) where there is "disagreement among faithful Bible teachers" (to use your phrases).
I think we're both agreed that the labels false teacher and false teaching only apply to major departures from the gospel. I've been trying to argue this in several recent comments, as I get the impression that many people think almost any area of disagreement merits the false teaching label. I was once like that and it was a difficult mindset to get out of.
So some categorisation of the big issues that christians today disagree over would be greatly appreciated. It would provide much-needed clarification. I could give you a list of topics, but I'm sure you already know what they.
Hi David,
I can tell you that in my congregation, there was a teaching going on of "generational curses". This is the belief that you are under a curse due to the behavior of an ancestor, etc. This is such an un-Christian teaching as every Christian is a new creation and Jesus is the ultimate cycle-breaker. Unfortunately, this teaching has been spreading from the Pentecostal/charismatic movement and people like Joyce Meyer. There is a HUGE difference between a "curse" and a "consequence" for one's sin. Ezekiel 18 is a great chapter that deals with this.
I brought this issue to my elders and I was armed with scripture. All I got back was apathy and an unwillingness to confront it. This is only one of the many subtle issues plaguing the church today. I could go on.
David Smith (#14),
Yes, I am on staff, but there are very few others who comment on the blog. I think I've been the only one to do so in recent posts.
Your questions are good but very difficult to answer fully. Many people try to make distinctions between primary, secondary, and tertiary doctrines. Common pictures used are accursethe hub, spokes, and wheel, or concentric circles. The reality is the Bible gives us no such categories.
There are only two times the a curse is declared in the NT: 1) on those who don't love the Lord (1 Corinthians 16:22), and 2) on those who preach a different gospel (Galatians 1:8-9).
So to start with, we can say that any teaching with directly or indirectly alters or undermines the gospel would fall into that category. Examples would be:
1. Roman Catholic teaching on justification, sacraments, the Mass, penance, etc.
2. Any teaching which denies the humanity or deity of Christ (Mormons, Islam, JW's)
3. Any teaching which adds human works to Christ's sacrifice (baptismal regeneration)
4. Any teaching which alters the meaning and purpose of the atonement (Prosperity gospel)
5. Any teaching that alters the character of God (consistent Arminianism which has been renamed Open Theism)
We could add to that list anything which seeks to crack the foundation on which the gospel stands, namely the authority, veracity, and sufficiency of the Word of God. So:
1. Rejection of inerrancy and infallibility
2. Historical Jesus studies
3. Critical scholarship theories
4. Strong charismatic theology which allows for continuing authoritative revelation through an unaccountable leader.
Those are all just examples, not exhaustive lists. On the side of disagreements you'll find a whole host of issues where men have a high view of Scripture, strong gospel convictions, but varied interpretations. Many areas relate to church governing structures, end times, method of baptism, or isolated interpretive issues.
There are a number of things that could be said at this point, but I think I'll just leave it with two questions: 1) Does it undermine the Gospel, and 2) Does it undermine the authority and reliability of the Bible. With those two questions most false teaching can be distinguished from minor differences.
Be sure you understand the difference between the burden placed on Leaders and the exhortations to members..
In general - Members aren't in authority to Rebuke leaders openly, and especially not to unseat them. Doing so tends to fan flames of division - and that brings on a whole new set of problems along with very strong Scriptural admonitions. Absolutely - you should go to a leader in private and talk with them on points where you feel there is error. If it goes past that - you should consider following the exhortation to Flee such leaders.
Leaders HAVE a burden assigned to them that they are to root out false teachers and wolves. It's not a suggestion - it's an actual requirement. If you look at John's post - he specifically states the responsibility is on Leaders. Leaders who refuse to do such are held personally responsible before God himself.
#14 David Smith
There are a few things very clearly mentioned, that those who are calling themselves Christians, and do practice these sins, they will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Homosexuality and adultery is on that list.
So we are given clear advices on how to give divine warnings to ungodly sinners, who do not love Christ, and how to avoid those who refuse to listen.
But witch hunting is a very frightening issue, and the results we can see in Church History.
That being said, we are still to make wise judgments and fight against all evil to protect Gods children
Gabriel Powell #18
Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a comprehensive and helpful answer.
I agree with you that all doctrine is important, but we also have to accept that there is disagreement in some areas. Hence we need to find a way of loving our brothers and keeping the unity of the body around the 95% we agree on, rather than falling out over the rest. The two questions you propose seem a good way of handling this.
A few responses:
Tom Moore #15
I agree with you - I regard the concept of "generational curses" as unbiblical and highly dangerous as it takes away from the work of Jesus on the cross.
John Cox #19
I'm not convinced by your approach. We are all commanded to be discerning and watch out for false teachers. The idea that some people do not have "authority" is a common argument used by false teachers to make themselves unaccountable - the little people don't have the authority to pass comment on God's "anointed". Yes, when dealing with concerns in your own church, you need to do it with sensitivity, wisdom, and maturity, but if the members don't speak out, who will? We all have responsibilities to protect our fellow believers.
A good example was the 2008 Lakeland "revival" with Todd Bentley. The first people to sound warning about this were internet bloggers - regular people not in leadership or ministry. In fact, church leaders were mostly notable by their silence. These bloggers were condemned by some, but in the end they were vindicated.
Rudi Jensen #21
You appear to be referring to 1 Cor 6:9-11. I'm not sure why you brought this up - it's not to do with false teaching - but I think you need to study this passage a bit more. v.9 says wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God - we are all wrongdoers. v.10 says the greedy amongst others - how many of us can truly say we are never greedy? v.11 is key - these are things that people were, but they are now saved and forgiven by Jesus. Paul is emphasising that these things are all sins that we should have left behind. I don't see him as giving a list of unforgiveable sins, and we need to remember that the overall teaching of the New Testament is that repentance and santification are a lifelong process. We remain sinners until the day we reach perfection in glory, but the good news is that God has forgiven all our sins, past, present, and future.
But I agree completely that witch hunts are very bad, and we all need great wisdom and discernment when evaluating anything. The latter is one reason why I believe the charismatic movement is false - it is characterised by a total lack of wisdom and discernment. This suggests the absence, not the presence, of the Holy Spirit. Rather, I see people who have a concern for the truth as being spirit-filled - Pastor John being an excellent example, of course.
"All Christians share the biblical mandate to cultivate biblical discernment. Remaining passive in the church and ignoring the cancerous effects of false teaching is a serious dereliction of our duty as believers. We are to be equipped with the biblical tools necessary to identify, expose, repudiate, and excommunicate all wolves who sneak into the church. Out of love for Christ, His people, and the pure exclusive gospel that He delivered, each of us must take up arms in the ongoing war for the truth."
#24 David Smith
And that is what false teachers do. They are misusing the Grace of God to lawlessness.
2 Peter 2 and Jude.
David, there are two crusial differences.
A forgiven sinner and those still in their sins. A forgiven sinnner is no longer under the law, but is a new creation, and have received the Spirit of Christ. If anyone does not have the Spirit, they do not belong to Him.
In 1 Timothy 1, the Apostle Paul clarifyes this:
"Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers,liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted."
And see Galatians 5:
"But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another."
They are deceiving themselves, the Apostles say. They think that because God is gracious, He MUST approve their sinful livestyle. They skipped repentance, turning from sin to righteousness.
I say this, because in my country (denmark), we have a state-religion, (Lutheran) where the priests are not bound by a confession of faith. They can believe anything, and they do. The result is that they forgive sinners without repenance, thereby given them Gods approval of their sin.

I believe you have just voiced the cry of millions of average church-goers around the world. Although John MacArthur focuses his teaching primarily upon pastors and cautiously addresses teachers (i.e. leadership), not much falls into the lap of the layperson. Do not get me wrong! John's faithful exhortation to church leaders is vital.
However, I am with you. At times, I think what passes as a church today is so morphed away from New Testament practices that the normal "rules of engagement" must be suspended. It seems so wrong to suggest to laypeople, "If you don't like something or feel we are doing something unbiblical, then pray and let God handle it." According to some, the pew-sitters are to shut up and simply be sheep regardless of what is going on inside the church family. There are not appropriate, sufficient forums for the layperson to voice concern or calmly open God's Word and search the Scriptures as an equal member of Christ's body.
Honestly, I believe the issue rests not in practices to address false doctrines. Instead, it seems that we too often lift pastors and/or church leaders to positions not authorized by the Scriptures. We tend to give them the title of shepherd with a capital "S" and relinquish all personal responsibilities for the welfare of our church families. We have seen this type of hierarchy of authority even in this thread.
So, while your pastor...and many others...fail to speak out, the spiritual heads of individual homes sit frustrated in pews, silently praying that God would intervene and rescue the anorexic, underfed, and deceived laity.
Please, Pastor John, we beg you! Help us know how to be bold and contend for the faith within our own church families despite the fact that most of your readers are NOT in immediate leadership. Thank you!
For the sake of the argument, there are a lot of theology involved in this.
First of all the new nature of the forgiven sinner. According to Romans 6, we are dead to sin, if we have the Spirit of Christ. If anyone does not have the Spirit, they do not belong to Him.
Second we have a new heart that hate sin and long for righteousness. So we cannot live in an unbroken pattern of sin.
#27 Rudi Jensen
Hey Rudi, I appreciate your comments. The scriptures you used were very appropriate. Europe is spiritually dead and America is closely behind. Had a friend from Norway who told me that the guy leading a local church (state-run) was an atheist. Amazing. I guess that God is going to need to do some threshing of the grain to get us back on track. Bigger mission field, though.
People seem to think that church discipline is unloving. My experience of having been disciplined by my church was extremely loving. Before I became a Christian, I could not imagine love and discipline coexisting. As you can imagine, I was very undisciplined. The pastor who subjected me to church discipline (I was not allowed to join, until I showed that I was ready to find one church and stick to it.) gave me a most excellent gift. I can exist better in this world as someone who understands and accepts discipline.
To John (19), David (24), Jean (25), and George C.:
Consider meditating on 1 Timothy 5:24-25, then backup and follow the instruction Paul gives to Timothy (a leader) in 1 Timothy 5:19-22.
May the LORD continue to bless all of us through His servants and the quickening, active word inspired by the Holy Spirit-the promised gift Christ sent for our inheritance and seal of redemption!
Yes, yes, and yes . . . that's our duty. Rather point out, today, things that will lead astray precious sisters and brothers in the Lord than one day say, "I should have."
I'm behind you all the way.

DNA Dan,I was reading some articles about using nanomaterials in food. Since you are a molecular biologist, do you know anything about what they might be putting in our food now or in the future? Part of one of the articles I read said about spraying nanomaterial on loaves of bread to make them shiny. My guess would be maybe pretzels someday.This is the article and the parts where you can read more. http://www.aolnews.com/category/nanotech/ Bread makers are spraying nanomaterials on their loaves "to make them shinier and help them keep microbe-free longer.A report issued last month by the Government Accountability Office denounced the enormous loophole that the FDA has permitted through the GRAS classification. And the GAO investigators also echoed the concerns of consumer and food safety activists who argue that giving nanomaterials the GRAS free pass is perilous.Amid that uncertainty, calls for safety analysis are growing."Testing must always be done," says food regulatory consultant George Burdock, a toxicologist and the head of the Burdock Group. "Because if it's nanosized, its chemical properties will most assuredly be different and so might the biological impact."
I don't want to hijack the thread topic, however I will just say that most of these technologies are geared toward improving the process or enhancing the efficacy of chemicals already used. In the example they gave about making a bread loaf "shiny" you can imagine only the molecules actually touching the bread are going to have any effect. This amounts to basically a single layer of atoms on the loaf. So what some of the nanotechnologies promise to deliver are ways to microaerosolize chemicals so they can achieve just a single layer of atoms, and they don't have to use as much raw materials to produce the same desired effect. Another example would be getting a higher growth rate out of the yeast so you can start a loaf with a just a few yeast cells. I see this more as benefitting manufacturers more than anything else. In terms of using banned chemicals in smaller quantities than what is allowed by law, I am pretty sure most of the "bad" chemicals are banned in any concentration. The ones that have a minimum allowance are typically chemicals used in the process that may be toxic only in higher doses when compared to mouse models. I really dislike articles like this because they are "sensationalist" and hype up a process or illegal loophole that sounds like everyone's doing it and it's bad for you. Like all things in our environment there are much more worse things you can encounter. Breathing polluted air is probably worse for you than eating a nano-produced bread loaf. These types of articles fail to put the chemical hazard in perspective of the real world and what the average person encounters on a daily basis.
Well I have good news and bad news. The good news is I am stuffed to my gills on pretzel pizza. The bad news is the mix from A&S seems like it was reformulated. The pretzels I made had a very light texture, which I remember them being more dense and chewy. Also the surface of the pretzels did not gloss over as much nor get super brown. I had to cook them a little longer to get some decent browning. Anyway the taste was still great, just not as I remember it from a few years back. It's still a great deal. I made a 5 lb batch which yielded about 25 pretzels and a 14 oz pizza topped with mustard, mozzarella and ham bits. I was surprised the mustard didn't taste awkward on the dough really. I used regular French's but a more spicy dijon brand may have been better. The pie tasted like something you would get in France. Almost like a ham and cheese sandwich or something. Unconventional yet good. Here are some pics of the festivities. I don't know how to insert text between photos, so I'll let the photos speak for themselves. Norma, I tried to take some before and after dipping closeups so you can see the difference in texture I was talking about before. Enjoy! -
I give the dip about 20-30 seconds. It's certainly more than just a quick dip. I also make sure I float it off the spoon a bit because otherwise when you go to transfer it to the baking paper it doesn't slide off the spoon too easily. So on the instructions for this mix there is a "sweet pretzel recipe". They add brown sugar and skip the lye method. They're still using the mix in the recipe, just in a different manner. This could explain why they no longer sell the sweet pretzel variety and why this mix seemed different. It seems to be some hybrid product that they combined from the two ways of making two different pretzels. The hot baking soda dip is certainly a viable alternative to NaOH, but will not produce the exact same effect that the purists are looking for. I'll have to try the sweet pretzel variety next. Auntie Annie's sure does have a lot of different topping for their pretzels.
What a great thread! I learned a lot! (Thanks Norma & DNA Dan.) Did either of you settle on a recipe that you liked to use the most? Thanks!

LR Baggs artist Justin Townes Earle performing "Harlem River Blues" on Letterman back in 2011. Justin uses the M1 Active and M80 acoustic guitar pickups. Check out more on Justin here.
LR Baggs artist Ewan Dobson using the M1 Active acoustic guitar soundhole pickup at a recent live show in Philadelphia. Check out more on Ewan here.
LR Baggs artists Of Monsters & Men performing at Coachella with M80 soundhole pickups. This band is awesome! Check out more on them here.
LR Baggs is breaking barriers again with their new internal acoustic microphone, the Lyric. Not only is it unobtrusive and easy to install, but it also displays a clearer sound that has not been heard in other external or internal microphones until now. This microphone is great for any situation whether it be a live performance or even recording in your own home. It's your guitar, only louder.
One of my main considerations with any amplification system is how good it sounds given little or no time for a soundcheck. I've played countless festivals where I had to walk onstage, plug in , and hope for the best. It's hard to imagine anything working any better in that situation than the L.R. Baggs Lyric. –Scott Nygaard

For the 14th time, more than 100 magazines from all over the world voted for the best musical instruments and audio equipment in more than 40 categories of the M.I.P.A., Musikmesse International Press Award. More than 300 international representatives of manufacturers and distributors of musical instruments and audio equipment got together for the 14th M.I.P.A. awards show, including guests from the USA, Canada, Japan, Brazil, South Africa, Russia, Poland, Great Britain, Italy, France, Greece, The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland and Germany. Considered the "Grammy" of the Musical Instrument/Pro Audio industry the Lyric received a M.I.P.A. for best pickup.

There's no argument that a mic is the best way to capture the sound of an acoustic guitar, but until now, using a mic for most live performances has been an elusive dream. Lyric, the next step in Tru•Mic technology, is the long overdue realization of this dream. Without a pickup, Lyric's microphone accurately transports your guitar's actual voice to a live audience for the most realistic and inspiring sound you will ever experience.

Like I said before, Same OLD JETS!!! I submitted this TOPIC last week. I am re-submiting it, to show you YOUNG JETS fans what I am talking about since the JETS are NOW 1 and 4, after LOSING to the GAINTS. Please READ what I wrote BELOW, and try to become a PATRIOTS fan, if know what's good for you.
As a JETS fans for 35 LONG, HARD YEARS! I am SOOOO TIRED of this happening, YEAR after YEAR, DECADE after DECADE...no matter who is the COACH! ERIC MANGINI, the HONEY MOON is OVER!
I am SOOO TIRED of the USUAL JETS HEAD coach and players are ALWAYS saying, we will LEARN from this, we have to look at the TAPE and CORRECT our mistakes, I don't understand, because we had a good week of PRACTICE. WE JETS fans are SOOOO TIRED of hearing that from ERIC MANGINI, and YEAR after year know matter WHO is the coach or player. ERIC also always says, that we had a GOOD week of PRACTICE. ERIC says it like I don't understand why we LOST, becasue we had a good week of practice. Maybe ERIC MANGINI should find a way to play ALL of their SUNDAY games in PRACTICE! Just because you look GOOD in PRACTICE, or had a good week of PRACTICE ERIC, doesn't mean you should have won the game. It is JUST PRACTICE Eric...you are not playing at FULL SPEED Eric...and the QUALITY of players you are going to face in a **(REAL GAME)** is NOT same as in PRACTICE ERIC! It DOESN'T matter how GREAT the PRATICES were ERIC, if you don't WIN the game on SUNDAY! I DON'T want to hear how GREAT your PRACTICES were as an EXCUSE for LOSING the game on Sunday ERIC!
Their is ALWAYS an EXCUSE, like we have to be more
CONSISTENT. And you HEAR these SAME excuses game after game, YEAR after YEAR, DECADE after DECADE!
SO WHEN are the JETS actually going to STOP saying, we need to be more CONSISTENT...or we need to EXECUTE better, and ACTUALLY EXECUTE better? That is what you hear from EVERY JETS player and coach, YEAR after YEAR, game after game...we need to EXECUTE BETTER...we need to be MORE CONSISTENT. Whether it is VINNEY or CURTIS MARTIN or HERM EDWARD or ERIC MANGINI...it the SAME thing, YEAR after YEAR....we need to be more CONSISTENT...we need to EXECUTE better!
I ALREADY see the PATTERN that happened with HERM EDWARDS with the JETS. The JETS have trouble in the FIRST half of the season. **(EVERY YEAR)**, the first 3 or 4 games the DEFENSE have trouble. Or they ONLY make it to the PLAYOFFS when they have a
**(SOFT SCHEDULE)**...where they EVENTUALLY LOSE and get kicked out of the PLAYOFFS, because they REALLY are **(NOT that good)**. And when the JETS have a HARD SCHEDULE, then the JETS will have a LOSING season. That's the PATTERN for this JETS organization...no matter who is COACH, or what players we have!
If this were HERM EDWARDS, the fans would have KILLED him! So it should be NO different for ERIC MANGINI! And I put this JETS loss against the BILLS on the coach ERIC MANGINI....as it should be, because the HEAD COACH is responsible for the team.
ERIC MANGINI said after the game...that some thing just wasn't right in PRACTICE for the BILLS game(check the POST game Interviews for ERIC MANGINI). ERIC MANGINI, how DARE you say that you KNEW that something wasn't right in your practices for the BILLS...but YOUR job as HEAD COACH for the JETS is make SURE the JETS are 100% ready to play on Sunday. ERIC MANGINI is telling us he knew something WASN'T right in practice for the BILLS, and he couldn't fix what wasn't right! This is UNACCEPTABLE as a head coach! Is MANGINI saying he knew something wasn't RIGHT in practices, but he didn't know what is was...or that he didn't know how to FIX it! Either ONE of those things are ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!!
Once again, if this were HERM EDWARDS, the fans would be killing HERM EDWARDS. The FANS and the MEDIA and the NEWS PAPERS, **(BETTER)** kill **(ERIC MANGINI)** for this ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE loss to a BILLS team that rank near **(LAST IN offense and defense)** in the NFL, with a ROOKIE starting QB...and with most of the BILLS team missing because of INJURES! ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!
And ERIC MANGINI has to take the HIT for this LOSS.
It is ERIC MANGINI responsibility to have the JETS ready to play. And you also have to hold **(ERIC MANGINI)** responsible for BAD COACHING or PLAY calling of his DEFENSIVE and OFFENSIVE coaches. The HONEY MOON is OVER for ERIC MANGINI!
I see the SAME PATTERN with ERIC MANGINI already.
That is why I say as a JETS fan for 35 YEARS...like A LOT of JETS fans say...the JETS organization is CURSED! I REALLY mean that! If BILL BELICHICK or Jesus Christ were coaching or running the JETS, we would still find a way to lose, or never get to the SUPER BOWL. BILL PARCELL...as great a coach as BILL PARCELL was, he COULDN'T get the JETS into the SUPER BOWL...and like MOST of the JETS history, it was a TEASE...like Bill Parcell getting the JETS close to the SUPER BOWL that year, and then NOT making it. For my 35 years of watching the JETS and being a JETS FAN, they will only take you UP to a certain piont...and then get your hopes up...and then DROP you off the cliff. The JETS organization is CURSED!

Topic: eleven2?
I'm in need of a webhost supporting Rails within just a couple of days. I'm going to have my companies website running on it and later on some demo of Rails applications that we have built. So basically what I need is a host that can support three Rails applications, Subversion, SSH an average amount of network transfer and at the same time be stable (little downtime), good support and etc.
Now the budget for the host is currently only ~30$ a month since we are only going to have our website on it. Later when the demo applications are going to be released we are going to increase the budget and hopefully upgrade our server.
But which host should I use for Rails? Given that I want the following:
1) Subversion
3) > 100 GB trafik
4) > 50 GB space
I have been checking out eleven2 and they exceed my request a great deal, however Googling their name gave me some blog results with a lot of hate towards them. Are they good? Or which one do you recommend?

Needle Pack & Magnet
My favorite needles for everyday embroidering, available especially for Sublime Stitchers. Not too big, not too small, sharp and sensibly sized. The eye is big enough to thread with embroidery floss and easily stitch through most fabrics. This pack is included in our Embroidery Starter Kits and Tool Cases.

Employment-Related Salaries and Benefits in Social Work: A Workforce Survey
The purpose of this study was to develop a descriptive benchmark of social work employment in Arizona and to provide useful information to administrators, job seekers, and prospective social work students. The results, based on telephone and Internet surveys to a random sample of 463 NASW Arizona members, indicate that salary was positively related to level of education and years of social work employment experience. Salary was also higher for men than for women and higher for social workers with administrative roles compared to other roles. Access to employee-related benefits appeared widespread. Implications are provided for administration and future research.

Webcomics Are Awesome
I've taken some time this week to write about the amazing world of webcomics. They are often overlooked by the mainstream comic book news media and that is the reasons I review one within my rotation of comic reviews.
The reasons that webcomics are better than traditional print comics:
Most of them are free to readers.
They offer a wider variety of styles and genres.
Good ones are not that hard to find.
Most of them update more than once or twice a month.
You don't have to go to the store to get some to read.
Humor is much more prevalent.
You can make them yourself without near as much startup capital.
Speaking of starting your own webcomic, here is a list of great YouTube videos by nobmouse, a creator of webcomics:
Some of my favorite webcomics are Gutters, Goblins, Bear Nuts, Blue Milk Special, Romantically Apocalyptic, Questionable Content, Order of the Stick, Legostar Galactica, Wayward Sons Legends, Looking for Group, League of Super Redundant Heroes, Calamities of Nature, The Abominable Charles Christopher, Pictures of You, Multiplex, Cyanide and Happiness, Evil Inc., and the webcomic I'm reviewing this week, Sandra and Woo. Most of these need Parental Advisory slapped on them, except The Abominable Charles Christopher and Sandra and Woo.
My favorite place to find new webcomics is topwebcomics.com.
Webcomics are awesome. Continue reading

Head Metallix Tennis Racquets
HEAD Metallix tennis racquets use a new, specially designed matrix of carbon and metal in the racquet frame, which HEAD calls Metallix. The metal is a crystalline metal alloy with a grain size that is 1000 times smaller than that of a typical metal, making it much stronger without increasing its weight. This is supported by the Hall-Petch relation, which states that the strength of the material increases as the grain size decreases. The result is a light, but extremely strong material. HEAD Metallix tennis racquets also include LMS (Longer Main String) and Stabilizer technologies. LMS increases the size of the hitting surface, while Stabilizer helps reduce racquet vibration for additional comfort. HEAD Metallix racquets provide amazing power and comfort in a lightweight package. They are great for players with a shorter swing, looking for a racquet that will help them generate power comfortably. To learn more about HEAD Metallix and its additional technologies, visit our HEAD Metallix tennis racquet technology page in our Tennis Express Buyer's Guide!
