The Speaker Peter Milliken
There are four minutes left for questions and comments on the member's speech, but we must proceed now to statements by members.
Canada Millennium Scholarships
Statements By Members
June 16th, 2008 / 2 p.m.
Bev Shipley Lambton—Kent—Middlesex, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take the opportunity to recognize three exceptional students from my riding of Lambton--Kent--Middlesex. Each has won a millennium scholarship through the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation.
They are: Danika Teeple, from Arkona, who attends North Lambton Secondary School; Celina Flannery, from Komoka, who attends Medway High School; and Lucy Hinton, from Strathroy, who attends Strathroy District Collegiate Institute.
All have displayed excellence in the classroom and beyond. These young women have been chosen in a nationwide competition for three of only 1,052 scholarships that have been awarded to students across Canada.
The competition is based on outstanding achievement in four key areas: academic performance, community service, leadership, and innovation.
I wish to express congratulations to each of the winners. I wish them the best for a safe and enjoyable summer and a successful and very bright future.
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Joyce Murray Vancouver Quadra, BC
Mr. Speaker, China is important to Vancouver Quadra, to Canada and to the global economy.
World leaders from France, Britain and Australia get it. Our Prime Minister does not.
As the world's second largest economy, China represents enormous economic opportunities for Canada.
Why, then, does our Prime Minister ignore the importance of our relationship with China? Since he has been in office, he has never once travelled to that country. He has travelled to Europe, to South America and to other regions, yet China is not even on his radar.
Like President Bush, Prime Minister Harper continues to indulge in ideological behaviour that further distances China from North Americans.
I call on the Prime Minister to recognize the importance of China. I call on him to engage, not insult, Chinese leaders and to lead a trade delegation to that country at the soonest possible opportunity for the benefit of Canadians.
Statements By Members

The Speaker Peter Milliken
I remind hon. members that mentioning other hon. members by name is not in order. I would urge them to comply with the rules in that respect.
The hon. member for Terrebonne—Blainville.
Seniors Community Centre
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Diane Bourgeois Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, our seniors community centre is celebrating 25 years of operation. Congratulations.
Our seniors need assistance, support, information and respect. They often become casualties of excessively fast-paced and hurried lives that leave us with very little time and room for immediate family. Thus, they live in insecurity and isolation. They have given a lot and in return are entitled to receive protection, care and affection.
For them, the Amis de Lamater seniors community centre is a sanctuary. For them, it is a resource. I extend my thanks to the centre's director general, directors, staff, volunteers and users, and wish them all a very happy anniversary. Our community needs them. In Terrebonne, they are a must.
Manufacturing Industry
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Joe Comartin Windsor—Tecumseh, ON
Mr. Speaker, for more than a century Windsor has been the automotive centre of Canada and manufacturing has been the lifeblood of the local economy. Yet since May 2002, the area has lost more than 17,700 manufacturing jobs.
Chrysler, Ford and GM have all announced layoffs and closures. The loss of jobs at these large facilities has meant losses for dozens of smaller manufacturing companies, including Industrialex Manufacturing, Diageo, The Precision Group, Southern Wire Products, Lamb Technicon, Hallmark Tool and Die, Windsor Tool and Die, and Plastex, to name only a few. They have been forced to lay off workers and in many cases to outright close their doors.
These job losses come with very real consequences. In concert with the loss of revenue that employment generates for much needed services comes the very personal cost of layoffs.
There is very little disagreement within the auto sector of what needs to be done, the roles that all the participants in the sector need to play and, in particular, the need for a partnership with the federal government.
The thousands of men, women and children in my community who are facing the negative consequences of the manufacturing crisis deserve more than the government's empty rhetoric that blames the problem on sectoral adjustments or restructuring. They deserve action now.
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Lynne Yelich Blackstrap, SK
Mr. Speaker, since 2006 we have recognized June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day as a means to promote action against elder abuse.
This year, Ottawa was chosen to host an international conference for World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2008. This is recognition of the significant action this government has taken on this issue.
Discussion of the Canadian experience at the conference today and tomorrow will set the stage for further action around the world.
This government is helping to combat all forms of elder abuse: physical, financial, psychological and sexual. In budget 2008, our government announced significant investments to help raise awareness of elder abuse and to assist seniors in dealing with this difficult issue.
As part of this funding, a national awareness campaign will be launched this fall.
Seniors from all walks of life are vulnerable to abuse. It is happening in communities across Canada.
I invite all Canadians to help combat elder abuse by keeping their eyes open and refusing to ignore this problem.
Canada Post
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Scott Brison Kings—Hants, NS
Mr. Speaker, Canada Post is conducting a review of all rural mailboxes in Canada to address safety concerns.
Home mail delivery is an important quality of life issue for rural Canadians. It must be protected.
Losing home delivery can be devastating, particularly for seniors who rely on mail to stay connected but cannot always drive into town to pick up their mail.
I have met with the minister responsible for Canada Post and also with the president of the Canada Post Corporation, Moya Greene. Both have assured me that they will make every effort to save rural home mail delivery.
I have urged Canada Post to work with provincial departments of transportation to address road safety issues. Canada Post has now confirmed that it will make every effort to do so. I urge provincial governments to cooperate fully with Canada Post to save home mail delivery.
Will the government stand up and defend home mail delivery as an essential service for Canadians?
Bloc Québécois
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to highlight the Bloc's anniversary.
We all remember the coalition's beginnings. The Bloc leader said that the Bloc's role was to close files. Given the number of files our government has closed, it would appear the Bloc has failed.
The Bloc believed it had power. Eighteen years on, the Bloc has succeeded in changing the names of two ridings.
The Bloc wanted to achieve sovereignty via Ottawa. Now, however, many members of the Bloc fear that they have instead improved federalism.
The Bloc was supposed to build momentum for the sovereignist cause. Now, however, the referendum has been put off indefinitely.
The Bloc was supposed to be very, very temporary. Now, however, Bloc members tell themselves that the longer they stay here, the better their pensions.
Despite its record of failure, the members of the Bloc seem to be quite content to still be in Ottawa. After all, they are contributing to their pension funds, collecting their salaries and taking advantage of their benefits, all without having to make one single decision.
Now that it is 18 years old, I would invite the leader of the Bloc to acknowledge that his party is powerless and utterly empty-handed.
Fernand Ouellette
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Robert Carrier Alfred-Pellan, QC
Mr. Speaker, on June 23, in Paris, Mr. Fernand Ouellette, who is one of my constituents, will receive the Grand Prix international de poésie de langue française Léopold-Sédar-Senghor. This award was created in honour of the poet, writer and first president of Senegal.
This is a major recognition for Fernand Ouellette, who is one of Quebec's most prominent poets, and who just published a book of poems written between 1997 and 2002, entitled Présence du large.
This exceptional writer has published some 40 books, and he has received many awards, including the Prix Athanase-David, the Governor General's literary award on three occasions, the prix Ludger-Duvernay, and the prix Gilles-Corbeil of the Fondation Émile-Nelligan.
He also became a Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Québec in 2005.
On behalf of my Bloc Québécois colleagues, I congratulate Mr. Fernand Ouellette.
Bloc Québécois
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Luc Harvey Louis-Hébert, QC
Mr. Speaker, in 1990, I remember, the series Les filles de Caleb debuted, and Guy Carbonneau was the captain of the Montreal Canadiens.
At the time, the founder of the Bloc said that his coalition would be temporary, and that it would help improve the winning conditions. Eighteen years later, the times have changed: the PQ is no longer even talking about a referendum, and the Bloc is still trying to justify its presence here in Ottawa.
After playing armchair quarterback for 18 years, what is the Bloc's plan? Asking 4,000 questions without ever getting anything done? Finding 450 different ways to ask about the sponsorship scandal without being able to put an end to it? Making more than 700 empty promises to Quebeckers?
The day the Liberal leader finally takes a stand, Quebeckers will be better able to see the relevance of the Bloc here in Ottawa. The moment of truth is fast approaching.
Gilles Patry
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Mauril Bélanger Ottawa—Vanier, ON
Mr. Speaker, today I want to acknowledge the excellent university presidency of Dr. Gilles Patry, a skilled manager and talented academic.
An outstanding researcher and board member of a number of prestigious agencies, it is as president and vice-chancellor of the University of Ottawa since August 2001 that he made his mark on the university, my alma mater.
Under his stewardship, the University of Ottawa grew from 24,000 to over 35,000 students, added numerous academic programs to its roster, surpassed the $200 million goal for its most recent capital campaign, and is now ranked fifth in the country for research investments.
Gilles Patry has always been an approachable man despite his heavy responsibilities. Under his watch, the ivory tower became a welcoming beacon and Ontario's francophonie is the better for it.
We wish to express our sincere appreciation to Dr. Patry and his wife, Ruby Heaps, and wish them all the very best in the years to come.
Bloc Québécois
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Daniel Petit Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
Mr. Speaker, the one-mandate party is celebrating its 18th anniversary. I would have this to say:
The time has come, my dear Bloc Québécois, to accept your powerlessness.
The time has come, my dear Bloc Québécois, to turn to the PQ since that is what you want.
The time has come, my dear Bloc Québécois, to justify your relevance.
The time has come, my dear Bloc Québécois, to explain your empty hands.
The time has come, my dear Bloc Québécois, to justify your empty promises.
The time has come, my dear Bloc Québécois, to explain your inconsistency.
The time has come, my dear Bloc Québécois, to be accountable.
The time is long past, my rich Bloc Québécois friends, for sitting on your salaries and your pensions.
The time will soon come, my dear Bloc Québécois, when Quebeckers will judge you for your inaction.
Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Peggy Nash Parkdale—High Park, ON
Mr. Speaker, June is Seniors' Month and I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible work being done by grandmothers across Canada in the fight against HIV-AIDS in Africa.
Over 13 million children in sub-Saharan Africa alone have been orphaned by AIDS. Grandmothers are at the heart of the response to the AIDS pandemic in Africa, as they often care for and bury their own children while parenting their grandchildren as well.
In March 2006 the Stephen Lewis Foundation launched the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, which was designed to raise awareness in Canada about the plight of Africa's grandmothers and to mobilize support.
Today over 200 groups of its kind have sprung up in Canada. These grandmothers campaign tirelessly to raise awareness, build solidarity with their counterparts in Africa and raise the critical funds needed to fight this devastating disease. We recently hosted such an event in my riding of Parkdale--High Park.
African grandmothers are the silent victims of this pandemic, but I am honoured to report that our grandmothers here in Canada have taken up the fight and continue to do all they can to ease this overwhelming burden.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Glen Pearson London North Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, next month, one of the most accomplished individuals to serve this country overseas is leaving her post as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, a job she has performed with distinction since 2004.
Madam Arbour's international career began in 1996 as the chief prosecutor of war crimes before the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and for the former Yugoslavia, in The Hague.
A justice of the Supreme Court of Canada and an advocate of justice around the world, Louise Arbour has served her country in the cause of human rights with courage and dedication.
Sadly, too many have remained silent on the accomplishments of this great Canadian.
Canada owes Madam Arbour a great debt of thanks.
We on this side of the House cannot let this occasion pass without comment. On behalf of the Liberal opposition and all Canadians, let me express congratulations and thanks to Madam Louise Arbour for a life of service to Canada and the world.

Skip to comments.1 in 4 Indulge Bizarre Late-Night Food Cravings
Posted on 02/28/2013 9:51:57 AM PST by nickcarraway
It's 2 a.m., and you've just scarfed down another chicken wing topped with Cheez Whiz. Embarrassed? Don't be. Plenty of people flock to their refrigerators to snack on strange, late-night food concoctions, reports a new study published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders.
Researchers had 507 students take a "concocting survey" that quizzed them on their eating behaviors and what types of foods they typically ate to satisfy their cravings. The results: One in four participants admitted to creating and indulging in crazy food combos. Think sugar-covered scrambled eggs and mayo-smothered vegetables -- and 41.2 percent chalked up their creations to cravings. (Guys, really? Cure your cravings without going crazy with these Easy Egg Recipes.)
"We were curious on how common concocting actually was," explains lead study author Mary Boggiano, Ph.D., an associate psychology professor at the University of Alabama. "And to differentiate it from regular snacking, we defined it as making strange food mixtures that you would be too embarrassed or ashamed to share with others."
Should serial snackers with a taste for the weird be ashamed? Not at all. "There's nothing wrong with concocting," Boggiano says. But you don't want your midnight snacks to wreak havoc on your waistline -- and that's where Alexandra Caspero, R.D., owner of weight-management and sports-nutrition service Delicious-Knowledge.com, comes in.
The next time your grumbling gut beckons you to the kitchen at night, trade in your high-calorie combos for these healthier alternatives:
If you're craving something sweet...
Snack on Greek yogurt and fresh fruit. Less sugar, less fat, and more natural, this combination is perfect for solving your ice cream cravings, says Caspero. Your move: Grab 6 oz. of Greek yogurt and 1 cup of grapes or mixed berries.
If you're craving something salty...
Grab a tortilla (a high-fiber one works best) and an ounce of sharp cheddar cheese, and create a low-fat cheese quesadilla on the fly. It's easy to make, and it'll prevent you from going overboard with the chips and queso, Caspero says. Just fold it in half, bake it, and top it off with a scoop of salsa.
If you're craving a mix of sweet and salty...
Reach for sliced apples and peanut butter. "A sweet, crispy apple paired with salty, all-natural peanut butter is one of the easiest and healthiest snacks to have on hand," says Caspero. One apple provides you with 5 grams of heart-healthy fiber, while all-natural peanut butter contains 4 grams of protein per tablespoon. The best part? The mixture of protein, fat, and fiber all aid in fullness, which means you won't be reaching for another snack an hour later, says Caspero.
What! No cold chili sandwhich w/mayo, no chocolate chip cookie topped with roast beef?
Topped? Heck no. Dipped!
I'm a somnambulist. I find food out in the kitchen on many mornings. Last night I apparently snacked on low fat yogurt with freeze-dried Blueberry powder stirred in. Pretty healthy! But Monday night I woke up sitting on the kitchen floor. I woke up when I knocked over the jar of the mustard that I'd smeared on a foot long sub. Sub was gone!
Does Scotch count?
What's so strange about mayo on vegetables? For years the only way I ever ate broccoli at home was topped with mayo, and that habit was passed down from my mom. In retrospect, she might have done that to cover up the fact that she overcooked the broccoli.
Apples and peanut butter? Where is the bologna, cheese and jalapenos? No sense in getting up if you can't take an uncomfortable sh...dump in the morning.
Heck no! Nothing bizarre about Scotch...especially with a good cigar.
I don't think Alexandra Caspero grasps the idea of a late-night snack. Snacks are by nature meant to taste good. Grabbing a vegetable for a late-night snack is perfectly fine if you're a rodent. Humans desire something a little more tasty than health food. Or "natural" peanut butter on an apple.
The line of the thread. Award the prize now!
And now that I think about it, scrambled eggs with sugar doesn't sound so odd either.
It's 2 a.m., and you've just scarfed down another chicken wing topped with Cheez Whiz
Topped? Heck no. Dipped!
Are you crazy?
You INJECT the chciken wing with cheese using a can of "EZ-Cheeze" THEN you Dip it!
She can't smell it when you come back from the kitchen?
The Federal Government will solve this problem. Moochelle is waiting to be placed in charge of a new department to monitor and control people who have thee late night food cravings. Legislation is coming which will require people to get a permit to eat anything after 11 pm and Moochelle will enforce it.
Peproncini peppers with extra sharp cheddar cheese squares ... Big Cheese crackers on the side. Wash it down with a splash of White Zin or a cold Pepsi on ice. ... I'm making myself hungry. BBL
Simple solution: Ban late nights. It's a nanny state, people gotta get to bed by 8 pm and if they were safely in bed instead of wandering around who-knows-where, think of all the electric power that could be saved. Think of all the bathroom accidents (already a worldwide epidemic, crisis, and disaster of epic proportions) that could be avoided.
I eat my peas with honey...
Each new fridge will come with a safety lock.
Hmmmmmm. Maybe that's why she decided we needed seperate bedrooms.
My favorite late night snack is a big slice of cheese, a couple of pickles and about half a sliced onion.
Does Scotch count?
Over ice cream. Mmmmmm.
And now that I think about it, scrambled eggs with sugar doesnt sound so odd either.

Alabama Saturday breakfast: biscuits, scrambled eggs, bacon, shredded cheese, covered in maple syrup and pepper gravy, all mushed up together. OH! and sasser that coffee to cool it.

Breakfast of champions!
Actually, fried or scrambled eggs lathered with strawberry jam makes a fine toast sandwich.
Not just for late nights, neither!
Sheesh - amateurs! You forgot the next steps: wrap it in bacon slices, fry it, dip it in Cheez Wiz again, then roll in bacon pieces!
Scotch always counts, and don't ever let anybody tellya different.
My favorite late night snack is a big slice of cheese, a couple of pickles and about half a sliced onion.
That doesn't sound half bad. Sort of like a sandwhich without the bread!
Red or White onion?
You lost me at White Zin.
That sounds delish! Although I probably wouldn't mush it all up together.
A glass of Beringer's White Zinfandel.
Alternate late snack is sweet girkins, swiss cheese, and a gingerale. Put the pickles and cheese on a couple of slices of pumpernickle, if ya got it. A drizzle of mustard makes it even better.
Red or White onion?
I prefer sweets. My least favorite onion is red.
Only had cravings when I was pregnant. Spam and squeezie cheeze sans the bread, or crackers. To this day I can't stand the sight of a can of spam, or squeezy cheese. Ah, motherhood!
That's a beautiful thing, right there (except we call it liverwurst) : )
I bet she can smell it 2 hrs later ; )
Nah, Cold Stella with a Kettle One sidecar!
That sounds delicious! I like to add a sliced dill pickle to it, though.
Easy to say if one has food.

Why Your Kids Won't Own a Bigger House Than You
By Mia Taylor
SAN DIEGO (MainStreet)--Children are typically richer than their parents, with each successive generation richer than the previous one. At least that's been the economic pattern, as society has gotten wealthier, up until recently.
But for members of Generation X and Generation Y, something has gone off track.
According to a recently issued report from the Urban Institute called "Lost Generations? Wealth Building Among Young Americans," Generation X and Generation Y have accumulated less wealth than their parents did at their age, a quarter century ago.
The average wealth in 2010 of twenty- and thirty-somethings was 7% below the wealth of those who were in their '20s and '30s in 1983.
"We didn't expect to see this at all," says Signe-Mary McKernan, one of four authors of the report. "There is this expectation that every generation does better than the previous generation. This is some of the first evidence we've seen of a lost generation and loss of wealth. And lost wealth is so important, because it's where economic opportunity lies. It's that insurance against tough times. And wealth disparities are passed from generation to generation."
So what's behind this massive loss of wealth accumulation?
Even before the Great Recession, younger Americans were on a different trajectory for several reasons:
- Stagnant wages
- Diminishing job opportunities
- Lost home values
"I think they got caught up in housing market," continues McKernan."They were poorer or had lower wealth before the Great Recession. They were the new homeowners and most recent buyers. They most likely bought houses when the prices were highest and suffered the greatest losses."
The various economic changes affecting the two generations are merging to paint a far different future for them, according to the report.
What's more, despite their youth, it's not clear that either generation will be able to make up the lost economic ground, which will impact the rest of society - because they will be less able to support themselves upon retirement.
It also means they will not likely be able to retire at the median retirement age of 64.
"People are expecting to work longer and longer," McKernan says.

1/15/2013 (4 years ago)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
In this Year of Faith, the Church calls us to renewed amazement at Jesus' teaching so that with gratitude and wonder we will become living commentaries of his Good News.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
1/15/2013 (4 years ago)
Published in Year of Faith
Keywords: Year of Faith, Fr. Roger Landry, Jesus Christ, Gospels, authority, magisterium, Second Vatican Council, Catechism of the Catholic Church
FALL RIVER, MA (Catholic Online). In today's Gospel, we see that Jesus entered the synagogue and taught. All those who listened to him were "astounded at his teaching, for he taught with authority and not like the scribes." He then showed the tremendous power of his authoritative words by silencing and casting a demon out of a man. That amazed the crowd even further. They asked, "What is this? A new teaching - with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."
The same Jesus who entered the Capernaum synagogue enters our Catholic Churches throughout the country today. After he speaks "live" in the Gospel as it is proclaimed, he who created the heavens and the earth with his word, who called fishermen and tax collectors to follow him so powerfully that they immediately got up and did so, will do something far more amazing than cast out a devil or silence a storm at sea. He will change bread and wine into his body and blood and cast himself into believers. If we recognize what is really going on, if we awaken to the power of his words, we will be far more amazed than Jesus' contemporaries two millennia ago.
One of the goals of the Year of Faith is to help every believer become more and more amazed and astonished by Jesus' teaching and to see it as the free medicine to heal the wounded souls of so many in the world.
Jesus teaches unlike any other teacher. His contemporaries said he "taught with authority, unlike the scribes." The scribes always used to cite Sacred Scripture or Jewish tradition, to base their teachings on the authority of the word of God.
Well, Jesus didn't need to cite the word of God, because he was the Word of God.
In the Sermon on the Mount, for example, he contrasted himself to what Moses, their greatest teacher up until then, said to them in the desert: "You have heard that it was said - in other words, Moses said to you - 'you shall not kill.' 'you shall not commit adultery. ,' 'an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.,' but I say to you, you shall not even be angry with a brother, or look on a woman with lust in your heart, or if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn and offer him the other as well" (Mt 5:20-45).
Authority comes from the Latin word for "author," and Jesus spoke with authority because he was the author, the creator, of man and the world.
To capture just a little of what it must have been like to listen to Jesus talk about God, about the world, about man, and about faith and morality, we can imagine listening to Vince Lombardi discuss football, the Wright Brothers talk about airplanes, Henry Ford talk about cars, Thomas Edison describe electricity, Steve Jobs talk about computers, iPads, iPods and iPhones.Â
They could speak with greater authority than almost everyone else because they were the "authors," the inventors, of what we now take for granted.
Well, that's just a glimpse of what it it ought to be like for us to listen to Jesus, who is the author of the world, the one through whom all things were made. He could command even the seas and the wind (Mk 4:41) and the demons and they would obey him, because he is the Lord of all.
Jesus continues to teach with that amazing authority. He does so clearly at Mass. The fathers of the Second Vatican Council reminded us that "when the holy scriptures are read in Church, it is Christ himself who speaks" (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 7). That's why we stand when the Gospel is proclaimed, because we stand for Christ who himself is proclaiming it through his minister.
But Christ also speaks to us with his authority through the teaching of the Church, to whom he gave his own amazing authority to continue his saving work. Before ascending into heaven, he said to his apostles: "Full authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you" (Mt 28:18-20).
He gave that authority in a special way to the visible head of the Church he founded. He told Peter that he was the rock on whom he was going to build his Church and then gave him the authority to open and lock the way to heaven: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven" (Mt 16:19).
The Church firmly believes that that authority was passed down to St. Peter's successors all the way to Pope Benedict. Christ also gave his authority to the apostles as a whole (and their successors, the bishops) so that they could, as ambassadors, teach authoritatively in his name, saying, somewhat amazinging,"Whoever hears you hears me, and whoever rejects you rejects me" (Lk 10:16).
The question for us today and throughout the Year of Faith is how do we respond to the Lord's teaching? Are we amazed by it? Grateful for it? Astonished at the authority? Do we follow it, ignore, or resist the Lord as he teaches us in Sacred Scripture, or through his Vicars on earth, or through the successors of the apostles? Do we trust in our own opinions more than we trust what he has said, done and established?
Everyday in the Office of Readings of the Liturgy of the Hours that priests, religious and many lay people pray, we begin with Psalm 95, in which the Lord through the inspired text tells us, "If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts."
Lack of astonishment to the teaching of the Lord is not a function of a hardened brain, but a stony heart. It's not a thing of inadequate intelligence, but of insufficient love. Those who love God are astonished and amazed by him and what he says and does.
That's where we need to begin.
The psalm says that many of the Israelites had hardened hearts "even though they had seen my works." God has done far greater works for us than he did for the Jews in Egypt, but sometimes, just like our spiritual ancestors, our hearts harden through sin, self-centeredness, and lack of love such that we have no amazement toward God and the gifts he gives us.
Today, moved by the Gospel, is an opportunity for us to stoke our amazement and authority at Jesus' teaching, which is a great gift. Jesus teaches us today, just like he did during his own day.
Even though sometimes we might pretend otherwise, Jesus knows that we don't know it all and he speaks to us day-by-day, subject-by-subject through prayer, through the Word of God, through the school of the Church, to help us overcome our ignorance, the ignorance that really does harm us. Ignorance is not bliss; it's misery.
It's the same way in the faith. When we're immature spiritual ruffians, we would prefer to call the shots ourselves. When we grow up spiritually, however, we recognize how little we know, how much we need to learn, and how grateful we are for the education in faith and life Christ gives us.
The real litmus test as to whether our heart is hardened or astonished and amazed is how we respond to the gift of God's teaching.
All of us who read have our favorite authors whose works we generally devour. For me, I love to read Peter Kreeft, CS Lewis, Scott Hahn, Prof. Robert George, George Weigel and Archbishop Charles Chaput. Anything they write I want to read because they give me lenses to see things I don't notice, understand or appreciate on my own.
Those who like fiction generally can't wait until the next book comes out from their favorite authors. Each is us is called to have more zeal for what the Holy Spirit writes us through the Word of God and the teaching of the Church than kids in recent years have had for the Harry Potter books.
We - you and I - need prayerfully and enthusiastically to read the Bible with astonishment, particularly the Gospels. We can hear a little bit of the Word of God at Church, but if we never study the Word of God on our own, we're no better than a student who never does homework. None of us is a "spiritual genius" with all of this knowledge infused. We're called to ponder what Jesus teaches us with authority in Sacred Scripture.
We also have to ponder what he teaches us through the Church he founded, through the Catechism of the Catholic Church, through the writings of the Popes and the bishops. We need to overcome the spiritual immaturity of thinking we learned everything we need to know about the faith by the time we were confirmed. It's simply not true. There's so much to learn, and this truth will set our lives free. But we need to begin with that astonishment and amazement of heart.
In this Year of Faith, let's ask for that gift for ourselves and for others!

From a macca-mailinglist I subscribe to, I got this:
Paul is booking venues in the US for September and October with an unconfirmed date for Boston on September 24 and a date at Madison Square Garden for October 20 (another 911 benefit?) On this tour he will play cities like Minneapolis (Target Center) that he didn't play on the first leg. The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that Paul's promoters are looking at the Target Center venue in Minneapolis, MN.
Paul performance at the Adopt-a-Minefield benefit in Los Angeles that is said to be the prelude to the next leg of the tour.
US dates are rumored to be followed by concerts in Mexico and Japan. One of Paul's band members said that Paul won't play the UK before Christmas. But that may have changed since there are rumors that a UK tour with 8 dates will be announced soon. There has been talk that the 2nd leg of the US tour might offer special charity tickets with proceeds going to Adopt-a-Minefield with an anti-land mine theme or film to be part of the show.
Please please please come to Europe...

I prefer the KMA 3 ring albums to any albums I have used. They are sturdy and the metal corners keep them like new for many years. I like that I can change the arrangement of the pages easily without having to unscrew posts or hold it all together while I put the screws back in. Since I do mostly one page layouts the ring binder works well; however, two page layouts do not fit together as nicely as the ones in a post or strap binder.
I just ordered this album to be delivered here in Brazil and it reached me in perfect condition. Nice and sturdy!
These are my favourite albums! They hold tons of layouts! I won't buy anything else!
Perfect. The size accommodates my pictures. Very large photo collection.

How to Invest in Foreign Currency
By Billy Fisher
NEW YORK (MainStreet)--Investing in currencies is an endeavor that is foreign to many individual investors. However, a little homework on the topic can go a long way towards building a diversified portfolio and reaping the benefits that accompany it. Here are some points to consider if you find yourself wanting to venture into the space.
Risk Diversification
For investors who have significant cash positions in their portfolios, adding foreign currency exposure may make sense. "A lot of people perhaps are sitting on the sidelines in light of the current market environment and they're probably sitting in cash that's earning little or nothing," said Bill Belden, managing director and head of product development at Guggenheim Investments. "When you're concentrated in a single type of currency, you're taking on a degree of risk that you probably don't fully understand and certainly wouldn't feel comfortable with should you understand it."
Belden notes that foreign currencies can be an ideal way to put that idle cash to work. "You're probably better served in terms of the performance of your cash to take advantage of the diversification elements associated with currency, he said. "You can also play a more speculative role with currencies and make calls on the future value of any given pair of currencies."
Gaining exposure to foreign currencies may be easier than some investors realize. Guggenheim's CurrencyShares lineup enables investors to invest in currencies through traditional brokerage accounts. "We feel that exchange traded currency products are the best way to participate in the currency market," Belden said. "The ease with which you can get access to the currencies is very attractive relative to having futures accounts."
Currencies v. Stocks
Investors who have shied away from currencies may believe that owning international stocks is enough. "Most investors think they are being diversified when they invest in international stocks," said Axel Merk, president and chief investment officer of Merk Investments. "The only thing they are getting is additional beta. International stock markets are very highly correlated to U.S. stock markets."
Merk emphasizes that investor fears of volatility may be overdone. "Currencies are actually much less volatile than either equities or bonds are," he said. "When the Euro moves a full cent from $1.33 to $1.34, it makes the headlines because it's a major move affecting economies, but when you are dealing with a stock that moves from $1.33 to $1.34, nobody even blinks."

General Paxton
I'm not from American but have always had an interest in the war between the states and the confederates. I have read about general Paxton. For a man who fought for Southern independence and I'm thinking he had some ancestors fighting the British in the American war of independence, I see he had ancestors who came from the North of Ireland. That part of Ireland is under British Rule. Scottish planters were brought to Ireland in the 1600s and the native Irish were run off their land. It seems general Paxton was descended from the planters and we still have division in the North of Ireland. Wouldn't it be great if all the people could get together and liberate the North from British Rule. Just like the US did and fight for independence like they did for Dixie.

Thank you for the flower of my 2nd great uncle's memorial. But, you may wish to review it as he deserted his unit and signed an oath to remain out of the south until after the war was decided. He really doesn't merit commendations for service. Just thought you would want to know.

Hi Tony,
Thanks so much for answering. I apologize. I mis-read your post on my great grandfather's page. I looked at your address and saw South Carolina. I do have relatives from South Carolina just not that grandfather. I was hoping you had more information about him as I know very little about him.
Thanks so much for all you have done and continue to do for our country. My father was in the army for 23 years and I also have had several policemen in our family.

I came across an article recently called "Do You Mommy Your Husband?"
Women find themselves mothering their husbands because of societal pressures to be the ultimate woman, says Pepper Schwartz, a sociology professor at the University of Washington in Seattle.
"We've been taught that the way to show love is to do for others," she says. And, according to Schwartz, some women believe that the more they nurture, the better a woman they are.
I'd like to think I don't do this – but I know I'd be fooling myself. I pick up after my husband, remind him to not forget his keys or that he should have something besides a salad for dinner. And don't even get me started on how much I wish he hadn't have bought the new Grand Theft Auto.
We see images on TV all the time of married couples where the husband leaves his stuff all over and begs his wife to do this or that for him. In the last week I saw examples of this on "According to Jim," "Still Standing," "Reba," "The Golden Girls," "The George Lopez Show" and Everybody Loves Raymond. (Since family sitcoms are practically nonexsistant these days, I had to use reruns).
Considering the previous article I found on women spending seven hours a week on average cleaning up after their husbands, this article doesn't surprise me.
Although, it does sound better than the reverse article: "Do You Daddy Your Wife."
Sound off ladies (and gents), do you mommy your husband?

Researchers make a groundbreaking discovery in the search for a cure for schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia, a mental illness characterized by the breakdown of thought processes and the impairment of emotional responses, affects nearly 20 million people worldwide. Currently, this inscrutable, enigmatic disease has no known cure and few effective treatments. However, recent breakthrough research is putting promising new treatments�and the prospect of a cure�on the horizon. �If finding the cause of schizophrenia is like solving a jigsaw puzzle, then these new results give us the corners and some of the pieces on the edges,� says Dr. Patrick F. Sullivan, a geneticist and co-author of the study. Tune in below to learn more about this landmark discovery: Brought to you by: Spry Living

Welcome to the Partnership Development Website!

the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission on Jan. 8, 2014, due to
a funding shortage.
Learn more by visiting these links:
The Stark Reality of the Road Ahead
News Release: Bleak Financial Forecast for MoDOT
Demands for transportation improvements have greatly outpaced the funds available to meet them. In response to this demand, the Missouri Department of Transportation has established various mechanisms for successful public/public and public/private partnerships. These expand financing options for transportation projects that serve a public purpose, including: highway and rail projects, transit equipment, air and water transportation facilities, and elderly/handicapped vehicles. The benefits to a project assisted by these partnerships may include: inflation cost savings, early economic and public benefits, financing tailored to the project's needs, and a reduced cost of project financing.
A partial solution to the funding challenge is to partner with other entities in order to fund needed projects. There are several reasons to partner:
By pooling our efforts and resources together we can often accomplish what may have previously seemed unlikely.
When we partner to build or enhance transportation infrastructure, we do so because we have shared purpose: to build the best and most cost effective project we can, when you need it.
Partnering helps us realize benefits that we would not have enjoyed in separate efforts. When transportation infrastructure is built, it often has a positive effect on the local economy. When we partner to accelerate a project, citizens gain the benefit of the infrastructure earlier.
By partnering, together we leverage funds that separately would not have been enough to take on the project. This allows partners to hasten the time it takes to get a project to completion, resulting in accelerating these potential benefits. Accelerating construction can help avoid additional costs due to inflation.

Nokia Releases Earnings, Confirms It's Now Profitable
Jason Mick
January 24, 2013 11:15 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The Windows Phone push is finally paying off
Nokia Oyj. (
) today
[PDF] that after
six quarters
of losses
, it is at last once again profitable,
as predicted
The Nokia of today is a different one from that of three or four years ago. The once sustaining backbone of feature phones is not gone -- Nokia remains a top player in this market -- but it is diminished, as Nokia no longer holds the top spot (that
belongs to South Korea's Samsung
Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
)). And in the smartphone sector sales have shrunk to 6.6 million units -- nearly a third of what it was a year ago. And most importantly, the majority of those smartphones carry a third-party operating system, Windows Phone, which replaced the proprietary Symbian operating system that once drove Nokia's lineup.
Windows Phone transition
is nearing completion -- in Q4 2012 Nokia sold 4.4 million Lumia Windows Phones, while moving only 2.2 million Symbian phones.
Nokia overall posted a profit of €0.05/share ($0.07 USD/share) before tax, or about €202M ($269.0M USD) in total profit after tax. That's a huge difference from the €1.07B ($1.43B USD) that Nokia lost in Q4 2011. But revenue was also down, at €8.04B ($10.73B USD), slightly below the analyst expectation of €8.12B ($10.83B USD), and down from €10.01B ($13.36B USD).
Nokia Lumia 920
Nokia's sales of phones were down in almost every region, with the major exception of North America, which saw an incredible 270 percent year-to-year growth.
The new Nokia is much leaner than it once was following
a series of layoffs
and the
leasing of its gleaming Finnish headquarters
. The company made a major shift, announcing that it would be cutting its dividend for the first time since 1989. While that move may irritate investors, it should boost a now-profitable Nokia's cash-pile, which has dwindled amid the losses. Last year, despite the losses, Nokia still paid investors a dividend.
CEO Stephen Elop, a former Microsoft Corp. (
) executive acknowledged that Nokia is still "moving through [a] transition," but enthuses, "We are very encouraged that our team's execution against our business strategy has started to translate into financial results. Most notably we are pleased that Nokia Group reached underlying operating profitability in the fourth quarter and for the full year 2012."
The Nokia recovery is perhaps a hopeful sign for other struggling players like HTC Corp. (
) and Research in Motion, Ltd. (
). But it should by no means be considered the norm; the recovery has come at a tremendous cost as the company has labored to reinvent itself as a smaller, more agile competitor.
One distinct advantage Nokia has over other struggling players its Nokia Siemens Networks joint venture, which sells telecommunications equipment. The NSN unit has continued to grow in revenue, even as the mobile devices unit has shrunk in revenue. While smartphones and mobile in general do seem to be turning the corner from a operating cost perspective for Nokia, the profitability was only achieved thanks to a strong performance from NSN.

"Well, there may be a reason why they call them 'Mac' trucks! Windows machines will not be trucks." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

Windows on Paradise
The resort that wrote the book on Mexico luxury travel has penned a new chapter. With the addition of 12 luxury villas, starting at 4,500 square feet and packing a palpable "wow" factor, Las Ventanas al Paraíso, a Rosewood Resort, delivers a new incarnation of seaside opulence.
These immaculate waterfront sanctuaries truly have to be seen to be believed. Blending the use of indoor and outdoor space, floor-to-ceiling glass panels open onto a full-sized swimming pool and Cabo's downy sands. Dive in directly from the master bed or the dining room table, descending the shallow steps that lead to an in-house swim-up bar and a duo of umbrella-capped lounge areas.
Never miss the panoramas of sea and sky, as natural light illuminates these vistas through French windows while skillfully placed raised mirrors reflect endless expanses of blue. Relax in the open-air bathroom that includes a hydrotherapy circuit of a steam shower, an outdoor shower and infinity bathtubs for two. Frolic on your own swathe of beach while a 24-hour butler serves homemade guacamole and margaritas at your whim.
From beginning to end, this new chapter is an unrivaled experience. Guests arrive to complimentary en-suite massages, savor the amenities of their own waterfront villa and still have access to all amenities of the greater Las Ventanas al Paraíso resort, including the superb restaurants, seven swimming pools and other facilities strewn across the cactus-speckled landscape.

Armen Keteyian and Jeff Benedict Talk College Football
Category: AuthorsCategory: Speakers & Lecture Series
Location: Adrian Lamb Room
Former longtime New Canaan resident and current CBS News correspondent, Armen Keteyian, and Sports Illustrated contributor, Jeff Benedict, co-authors of The New York Times best-selling book, The System – The Glory and Scandal of Big-Time College Football, will discuss their work and conduct a book signing on November 5 at 7:00 p.m. here at the Library.
The System, which debuted at No. 12 on the Times hardcover non-fiction list in October, has received rave reviews. Dan Wetzel, an influential columnist for Yahoo! Sports, called it "the best book written on the sport in years," while New York Times columnist Harvey Araton described it as "a harrowing and uplifting journey – or literary trip through recent history and across the country's most football obsessed campuses." Jeff Jacobs, a columnist for the The Courant in Hartford, hailed the book as "one of the most sweeping yet meticulously researched books ever written on big-time college football."
Armen Keteyian and his wife and two daughters spent 25 years in New Canaan before recently moving to Fairfield, CT. While a resident here, he was closely involved in the creation of Dunning Field at Hawes Plaza at New Canaan High School. He is currently the lead correspondent for 60 Minutes Sports on Showtime and a contributing correspondent for 60 Minutes.
Jeff Benedict, a native of New London, Connecticut, is a familiar face in New Canaan as well, having given speeches on two of his previous best-selling books, The Mormon Way of Doing Business and Little Pink House, at the Library.
Together Benedict and Keteyian spent two years researching and writing The System, conducting more than 500 interviews. The book takes the reader deep behind the scenes of mega-programs such as Alabama, Michigan, and BYU, among many schools, while capturing the passion and sometimes shocking realities that lie beneath one of this country's most popular sports.

Someone posted a year ago that they found 6-in-1 all purpose ground tomates at HEB in San Antonio at $1.69 per can. I live south of Houston and wasn't able to find any at that time at HEB or their Central Market store in Houston. Today I found them at a relatively new HEB Plus store in Pearland (also south of Houston) for $2.49 a can. Quite a difference in price from earlier post but still cheaper/easier than ordering them online. Maybe HEB is starting to carry them at more stores.Regards,Ira

The 'facts' in this video are widely distorted and inaccurate. This is a very biased clip and lacks all objectivity.
Annie Leonard's Story of Stuff Highlights Ecological Limits
Don't miss The Story of Stuff! It's a new online video that explores the full life cycle of what we buy and the political-economic history of conspicuous consumption. It is smart, fast and fact-filled, informative and positive, and a great tool for raising awareness about ecological limits. The 20 minute film was produced by Free Range Studios and funded by the Tides Foundation and the Funders Workgroup for Sustainable Production and Consumption. You can watch it online at www.storyofstuff.com.
Ecological Limits, Personal Footprint
I found The Story of Stuff very important for all levels of education. I hope there if there is a plan to translate the video into Spanish or any chance to participate in doing so.

Simple Machines > News and Updates
SMF is searching for translators!
(1/80) > >>
Thanks to a very active community, Simple Machines Forum is currently available in over 40 languages. Even though we're proud of that fact, we continue to search for ways to improve the quality of our international support and to make new languages available, so that more people can benefit from the SMF software.
In order to provide higher quality language files, we've created an online tool allowing multiple users to work on the same language at the same time. This will make life a lot easier for translators and speeds up the time it takes for a translation to be released as a language package.
The tool allows us to take a different approach when it comes to translating the software. We used to require that translators would spent a lot of time translating the full language package. Now that the tool is in use, we can invite anyone who's interested in helping out, so that more people can make the job of translating a language lighter.
So, we're looking for new (and current) translators. A requirement to join the team of translators would be to have good skills in both English and the language you're translating to and that you can spend a significant amount of time on translating.
If you're interested in helping out with one of the languages currently available or a language not yet available, send a mail to email@example.com. Please add the language you wish to help with and in what way you wish to contribute.
Great to see this going live! Congratulations on another job well done, Compuart! :)
--- Quote from: Daniel D. on August 31, 2008, 04:17:31 PM ---Please note, that I'll be absent the next two weeks. I know that I wasn't much online lately, but real life was bugging me. I won't have internet access, so please wait until I return or email at the address Compuart wrote. Thanks. :-\
--- End quote ---
Luckily the firstname.lastname@example.com address will be forwarded to all the people that are involved in getting the translation stuff going, including yours and mine, so there shouldn't be a problem in getting this thing started. :D
This is one of the major features of SMF itself-- the international community connection. It proves that even forum software can break the language barrier. :)
Good luck with the translations. :D
I want to translate from English (2.0 beta 3.1) to my native language Vietnamese but could not find the English language pack (2.0 beta 3.1) in the download section. There is only English 1.1.5 lang pack there.
Is there any official documents showing how to extract the English language pack from the latest SMF 2.0 beta 3.1 setup package?
And how to use the marcovanveelen to generate buttons?

by John MacArthur
Far too much of the present interest in heaven, angels, and the afterlife stems from carnal curiosity. It is not a trend those of us who accept the authority of Scripture should encourage or celebrate. Any pursuit that diminishes people's reliance on the Bible is fraught with grave spiritual dangers—especially if it is something that leads gullible souls into superstition, gnosticism, occultism, New Age philosophies, or any kind of spiritual confusion. Those are undeniably the roads most traveled by people who feed a morbid craving for detailed information about the afterlife by devouring stories of people who claim to have gone to the realm of the dead and returned.
Scripture never indulges that desire. In the Old Testament era, every attempt to communicate with the dead was deemed a sin on par with sacrificing infants to false gods (Deuteronomy 18:10–12). The Hebrew Scriptures say comparatively little about the disposition of souls after death, and the people of God were strictly forbidden to inquire further on their own. Necromancy was a major feature of Egyptian religion. It also dominated every religion known among the Canaanites. But under Moses' law it was a sin punishable by death (Leviticus 20:27).
The New Testament adds much to our understanding of heaven (and hell) but we are still not permitted to add our own subjective ideas and experience-based conclusions to what God has specifically revealed through his inerrant Word. Indeed, we are forbidden in all spiritual matters to go beyond what is written (1 Corinthians 4:6).
Lazarus of Bethany fell ill and died, and his body lay devoid of life and decaying in a tomb for four days before Jesus raised him (John 11:17). A whole chapter in John's gospel is devoted to the story of how Jesus brought him back from the dead. But there's not a hint or a whisper anywhere in Scripture about what happened to Lazarus' soul in that four-day interim. The same thing is true of every person in Scripture who was ever brought back from the dead, beginning with the widow's son whom Elijah raised in 1 Kings 17:17–24 and culminating with Eutychus, who was healed by Paul in Acts 20:9–12. Not one biblical person ever gave any recorded account of his or her postmortem experience in the realm of departed souls.
The apostle Paul had an experience of heaven so real he wasn't sure whether he had been physically carried there or merely caught up in a vision. He mentions the experience only once—reluctantly—because false teachers were challenging his authority, and this heavenly vision was a vital affirmation of his apostolic credentials. But he had kept completely silent about the whole affair until fourteen years after the fact. Even then, he framed his testimony as a third-person narrative:
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this man was caught up into paradise. (2 Corinthians 12:2–3 ESV)
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this man was caught up into paradise. (2 Corinthians 12:2–3 ESV)
Despite the third-person pronouns, this was clearly Paul's own experience, because he shifts into first person as soon as he starts talking about how God humbled him in the aftermath of that experience:
To keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. (2 Corinthians 12:7 ESV)
To keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. (2 Corinthians 12:7 ESV)
The typical contemporary evangelical response to an event like that would be to write (or have a ghostwriter produce) a sensational account. It would be filled with specific details of what heaven is like and what's currently happening there. A large publishing conglomerate would publish it, and once it was clearly established as a blockbuster, they would start working on sequels and movie rights.
But having mentioned the fact of his experience, the apostle Paul declines to give any details whatsoever. He merely says that he "heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter" (2 Corinthians 12:4 ESV). He employs a Greek expression that means it is not lawful for any human to speak of the things he heard.
So Paul, who had been called to one of the most important apostolic roles in the early church, was forbidden to discuss what he saw and heard in paradise. The brief three-verse account he gives of his vision makes quite a stark contrast to all the currently popular volumes written by people who claim to have been to heaven and come back.
Why would it have been unlawful for Paul to describe what he heard in heaven? After all, Ezekiel, Isaiah, and the apostle John each had visions of the very throne room of heaven and wrote about what they saw and heard. Their accounts are even part of inspired Scripture.
That is precisely the point. Those in the Bible who wrote about seeing heaven were expressly commanded by God to do so and were carried along by the Spirit of God as they wrote (2 Peter 1:21). The relatively brief accounts they each gave are part of the God-breathed text. The Almighty Himself had those men record that information for our benefit in the precise words that He chose. No extrabiblical account of heaven can legitimately make that claim.
Those who demand to know more than Scripture tells us are sinning: "The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever" (Deuteronomy 29:29 ESV). The limits of our curiosity are thus established by the boundary of biblical revelation.

There is truth in becoming more interested in these kind of testimonies and being led away from the Bible. Some stories are quite remarkable. I had been curious and so listened to some on YouTube. I was equally curious about those for whom hell was their experience. Theses particular people were scared to the truth. Their experiences were frightening, terrible, horrible experiences, the kind that should be heard (in my opinion), but definitely not for little children.
I look forward to discovering the Kingdom of Heaven and I don't want my surprise to be ruined. My feelings are somewhat akin to knowing that I have the best ever gift waiting for me to open. I do not want help unwrapping it, and I do not want anyone else to touch it. I want to be presented this gift by the Giver and I will not settle for anything less.
Thank you and God Bless

Nancy, I love the way you expressed that. .beautiful
Wonderful blogs! I have been so confused by the hoopla around the Heaven is for Real book and movie. So many of my Christian friends are all about it- like it proves something. At least now I have somewhere to point them- your blog. All I've been able to say so far to them is that when the rich man asked to have someone from the afterlife go back and warn his brothers, Jesus' answer was a resounding "No". Your blog is much more informative and detailed. Thank you!
Excellent points from the Scripture by John, as always. I'm shocked how many people are drawn in by these stories - how easily people are lured away from the truth. Thanks for great pastor-teachers like John for staying the course in an increasingly confused age
It is unfortunate that too many today operate in the sphere of "Doubt looking for Proof" and claim to have faith in Christ. Faith trusts in promises that are true and unchangeable even though the results of those promises my be yet unseen...I thank God for faithful men like Pastor MacArthur who continue to direct our thoughts to the truth rather than all these New Age philosophies.
My church has reserved the local cinema and sold out a showing of "Heaven is for Real". I have not been in church for a few weeks due to travel so I don't know what the mind set of the leadership is. I find it doubtful that they recommended this movie with any word of caution. I'll find out for sure before I say something.
I was asked by one person, "so what is the difference between going to see this movie and Transformers"? This person is a Christian so I gave her an answer using many of the same reasons I have heard Dr. MacArthur explain. "Grace to You" is like advanced combat training, thanks again to all who are part of this ministry!! Her response was that even if this movie is inaccurate regarding Heaven that it would provide an opportunity to present the truth from scripture. I see her point, but asked, what about the people who do not have the benefit of someone who knows what scripture teaches on this. I live in one of the least churched areas of the country and it has a strong charismatic presense. Double trouble. Since I have not read the book or seen the movie I have had to rely on reviews by others. I have found the common thread indicates a severe lack of gospel presentation. That hearsay and being produced by TD Jakes is enough for me to warn people about this movie.
I am interested in what any of you have to say regarding the opportunities presented by the onslaught of (biblically challenged) movies that have come out in the last few years.
Personally, I sometimes feel that all I do is deconstruct what is being presented to my family and friends and I am concerned that I am building a reputation of someone who is only interested in dissention.
Hi Ben,
I agree with much of what you said and what you are doing, and in my opinion, the right thing by using the opportunities presented to "deconstruct". You are NOT alone in this, for this is my experience and it is because I love the truth and hate the perversions of my Lord and His word. Keep up the good fight and do not be discouraged, but rather be encouraged knowing that with a clear conscience you are defending the Lord whom you love against error! Remember what Paul told Timothy and we are witnessing this at every turn; it is why we come to God's word and use resources like GTY.org.
"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry." - 2Timothy 4:3-5
God bless you Ben and we will pray for your encouragement and faithfulness to His word regardless of what others are saying or NOT saying.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I have a question for clarification; what did you mean by the following statement: "I do not want help unwrapping it, and I do not want anyone else to touch it."?
Dr. MacArthur & GTY staff and friends,
Thank you for all the great blogs and useful resources; you have been used of God to bless our entire family for many years and we will continue to pray that God will open new doors and avenues to accomplish His will by using all of you and those who have been blessed by your many ministries as "tools for the kingdom".
We live in a time when the "visible" church is suffering from "malnutrition" and GTY provides spiritual nourishment through careful exposition and a plethora of resources to help us grow in the knowledge and love for God, His word, His people and for the lost..thank you so much! We will continue to prayerfully support GTY as the Lord allows and point others to the many resources at gty.org.
The Tanner's
From what I see in scripture, visions of heaven have always accompanied a call to be either a prophet or a martyr.
So while we can dismiss Colton's account as a little boy's imagination of his Bible Story book and My Little Pony cartoons, I think we must also be careful not to miss any opportunity we have with our unsaved friends who may have seen the film and begin to have questions regarding heaven.
I'm not in any way advocating Hollywood theology, but I will use whatever opportunity they may give to share with people that not only is heaven real, but how to get there.
There are only 4 people who had visions of heaven in Scripture. Isaiah, Ezekiel, Paul, and John. Perhaps you can add Stephen as he was martyrd. No one else, and as John MacArthur teaches in this blog, no one who was raised from the dead gave an account of his/her time in the afterlife. And I must add the comment I have made before, that in Luke 16 when the rich man asked if someone could come back and tell his brothers about hell, there was a specific answer of "No",from Abraham because the brothers had the Word of God and didn't believe, neither would they believe if someone came back from the dead and told them. That is not just for those brothers, it is also for all of us too. There is not a single example in the Word of God of someone converted to Jesus Christ because they talked to someone who came back and told them about Heaven. And that should settle it for Christians. I heard David Platt speak on a video, and was struck by what he said concerning Heaven is for Real and the numbers of people in the Christian community that are embracing it. He said it shows that discernment in the church is at an all time low. I couldn't agree more.
What I find astounding is that Christians accept that Colton saw God! How is it then that 1 Timothy 6:16 says, "God lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see." We either have to conclude that scripture is wrong or Colton is lying. What a dangerous precedent we're setting by accepting this.

U.S. U19 Training Team Sweeps
by Corey McLaughlin | Lacrosse Magazine Online Staff | Champion Challenge Blog
U.S. U19 training team midfielder Kelly McPartland in action Saturday against Jacksonville in Champion Challenge, a US Lacrosse event.
© Scott McCall
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- In their last time on the field together before final cuts are made for the U.S. Under-19 women's national team, the U19 training team swept a pair of college squads -- Division I Jacksonville University and Division II Rollins College -- in a doubleheader Saturday at Champion Challenge, a US Lacrosse event, at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex in Florida.
Midfielder Kelly McPartland (Farmingdale, N.Y.) had three goals and an assist and attacker Covie Stanwick (Notre Dame Prep, Md.) had two goals and two assists in a 12-8 win over Rollins. Stanwick put up identical numbers in a 12-10 win over Jacksonville, and midfielder Mikaela Rix (Garden City, N.Y.) scored three straight goals in the final seven minutes of the first half to help the U.S. to a victory in the nightcap.
"It was awesome," Rix said. "A lot of us are going to college next year, so it was really good to see what that competition looks like. We played really well as a team today, and that's the most important thing, because we don't play together all the time. We really came together as a team."
This was the first time the team had played together since the Stars and Stripes event in October, and the first time a U19 women's team had faced college competition. U.S. coach Krystin Porcella came away impressed with her group.
"We were anxious for the games," Porcella said. "We hadn't really met since October, so it was neat to get two practices in and step on the field against college-level teams. It was neat to see how physical the college level is and how well our girls responded to it, because all our kids play high school. There's not as much contact allowed, not as aggressive. But it was great. They're natural athletes and natural competitors, so they stepped up to the challenge."
The training team, full of stars of high school and club teams, came together this weekend for practices and the doubleheader of games, and also to be evaluated. The 24-member training team roster will be trimmed to 18 players by the U.S. coaching staff Sunday. Those 18 players will travel to Hannover, Germany to participate at the FIL U19 World Championships Aug. 3-13.
Porcella said the staff will meet Sunday to discuss final cuts and announce the team Monday.
"It's going to be really tough," Porcella said. "The hard part is you have to look a couple in the eyes and say you're not part of the travel squad, but you're still part of the program. ... There are some players who have stood out every time we've met. There some who have done good things and some who have done average things. Sometimes when you're average playing against this level, it isn't good enough, but they're still good players."
In the first game gainst Rollins, the U.S. built a 6-2 halftime lead behind a two-goal, one-assist half by McPartland.
"She's been quiet and reserved," Porcella said of McPartland. "But she really kind of came out in this game and we said, 'Wow.' We know she has some great shots; she's a great finisher. Today she created those opportunities and she showed what she has."
The U.S. led 10-3 with 20 minutes to go before Rollins finished on a 5-2 run. The team took a 30-minute break, then walked to an adjacent field at the ESPN Wide of World of Sports complex to take on Jacksonville, a team that returned 13 players from its 2010 squad that finished 8-11 overall and 4-2 in the National Lacrosse Conference.
Jacksonville responded to an early 2-0 U.S. lead and led 4-3 with 9:12 left before half. But Taylor Trimble (Episcopal Academy, Pa.) scored on a pass from Stanwick to tie the score at 4 about two minutes later. After a Brigid Smith (Good Counsel, Md.) goal for the U.S., Rix won a draw, and scored her first of three straight goals with 6:26 to go in the first half. The U.S. led 8-4 at the break, went up 12-8 on a Cortney Fortunato (Northport, N.Y.) goal with 9:52 left in the game and held off a brief Jacksonville rally.
Kelsey Duryea (Governor's Academy, Mass.) started in goal for the U.S. in both games. She made one save in about 15 minutes against Rollins and played the first half against Jacksonville, making three saves. Trimble, Rix and Smith split the draw controls throughout both games.
Now, all players await decision day for the final U19 team roster.
"You play with all these girls from all over the country, and you play them in club, and you know you're going to play them in college. It's really cool to play with them for the USA," Stanwick said. "It's just a great experience all around. To get to this point to be picked out of 300 girls is such an honor."
"You try to look at the best in everybody," Porcella said, "but you do have to make that decision, and it's going to be so hard. Everybody played so well. Not only did they play well, but they care so much. They want to be such good teammates. It's going to be very, very hard."

On March 16, 2010, respondents moved to dismiss the petition on the grounds that it is barred by the statute of limitations and that it is unexhausted. Petitioner has not filed an opposition or a statement of no opposition.
A party's failure "to file written opposition or to file a statement of no opposition may be deemed a waiver of any opposition to the granting of the motion and may result in the imposition of sanctions." L. R. 230(l). Failure to comply with any order or with the Local Rules "may be grounds for imposition of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the inherent power of the Court." L. R. 110. The court may dismiss this action with or without prejudice, as appropriate, if a party disobeys an order or the Local Rules. See Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1263 (9th Cir. 1992) (district court did not abuse discretion in dismissing pro se plaintiff's complaint for failing to obey an order to re-file an amended complaint to comply with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure); Carey v. King, 856 F.2d 1439, 1440-41 (9th Cir. 1988) (dismissal for pro se plaintiff's failure to comply with local rule regarding notice of change of address affirmed).
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that, within 30 days of the date of this order, petitioner shall file either an opposition to the motion to dismiss or a statement of no opposition. Failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
