This _may_ be true as the ur-q and 4KQ hydraulic systems are very similar, but, there might be a diff in the valve though due to different tahrs and different weight distribution F&R. <I want to replace the part on our urq along with the master cylinder in <prep. for PIR next month. Someone recommended just taking the valve out, <but I'm not sure. Only replace it if it is leaking. I would *not* recommend eliminating it in any case, it does serve a critical purpose, unlike cup holders..... <BTW, I have all the brake parts of a 5ktqw at my disposal. I'd like to use <as much of that stuff as possible because a new proportioning valve is $75 <from Halsey!! The 5KTQW valve is likely different given the different weight, weight distribution, disc size and wheel and tahr sizes. All IMFO, -glen

(A) The Scriptures
We believe in the divine, verbal, plenary inspiration of the Bible, the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament canon, which being inerrant in the original manuscripts, is the final authority on all matters of faith and practice and any other subject on which it touches for every age and every life. The Holy Bible is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy. It reveals the principles by which God judges us, and therefore is, and will remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried. All Scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine revelation. We deny that any one translation is perfect but hold that they should be evaluated in the light of the original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts.
Exodus 24:4; Deuteronomy 4:1-2; 17:19; Joshua 8:34; Psalms 19:7-10; 119:11,89,105,140; Isaiah 34:16; 40:8; Jeremiah 15:16; 36:1-32; Matthew 5:17-18; 22:29; Luke 21:33; 24:44-46; John 5:39; 16:13-15; 17:17; Acts 2:16ff.; 17:11; Romans 15:4; 16:25-26; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Hebrews 1:1-2; 4:12; 1 Peter 1:25; 2 Peter 1:19-21.
(B) God
There is one and only one living and true God. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe. God is infinite in holiness and all other perfections. God is all-powerful and all knowing; and His perfect knowledge extends to all things, past, present, and future, including the future decisions of His free creatures. To Him we owe the highest love, reverence, and obedience. He is the one triune God, eternally existing in three person's—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections.
- God the Father
God as Father reigns with providential care over His universe, His creatures, and the flow of the stream of human history according to the purposes of His grace. He is all-powerful, all knowing, all loving, all wise and omnipresent. God is Father in truth to those who become children of God through faith in Jesus Christ. He is fatherly in His attitude toward all men.
Genesis 1:1; 2:7; Exodus 3:14; 6:2-3; 15:11ff.; 20:1ff.; Leviticus 22:2; Deuteronomy 6:4; 32:6; 1 Chronicles 29:10; Psalm 19:1-3; Isaiah 43:3,15; 64:8; Jeremiah 10:10; 17:13; Matthew 6:9ff.; 7:11; 23:9; 28:19; Mark 1:9-11; John 4:24; 5:26; 14:6-13; 17:1-8; Acts 1:7; Romans 8:14-15; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Galatians 4:6; Ephesians 4:6; Colossians 1:15; 1 Timothy 1:17; Hebrews 11:6; 12:9; 1 Peter 1:17; 1 John 5:7.
- God the Son
Christ is the eternal Son of God. In His incarnation as Jesus Christ He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus perfectly revealed and did the will of God, taking upon Himself human nature with its demands and necessities and identifying Himself completely with humanity yet without sin. He honored the divine law by His personal obedience, and in His substitutionary death on the cross He made provision for the redemption of men from sin. He was raised from the dead with a glorified body and appeared to His disciples as the person who was with them before His crucifixion. He ascended into heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God where He is the One Mediator, fully God, fully man, in whose Person is effected the reconciliation between God and man. He will return in power and glory to judge the world and to consummate His redemptive mission. He now dwells in all believers as the living and ever present Lord.
Genesis 18:1ff.; Psalms 2:7ff.; 110:1ff.; Isaiah 7:14; 53; Matthew 1:18-23; 3:17; 8:29; 11:27; 14:33; 16:16,27; 17:5; 27; 28:1-6,19; Mark 1:1; 3:11; Luke 1:35; 4:41; 22:70; 24:46; John 1:1-18,29; 10:30,38; 11:25-27; 12:44-50; 14:7-11; 16:15-16,28; 17:1-5, 21-22; 20:1-20,28; Acts 1:9; 2:22-24; 7:55-56; 9:4-5,20; Romans 1:3-4; 3:23-26; 5:6-21; 8:1-11,34; 10:4; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 2:2; 8:6; 15:1-8,24-28; 2 Corinthians 5:19-21; 8:9; 13:5; Galatians 4:4-5; Ephesians 1:20; 3:11; 4:7-10; Philippians 2:5-11; Colossians 1:13-22; 2:9; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18; 1 Timothy 2:5-6; 3:16; Titus 2:13-14; Hebrews 1:1-3; 4:14-15; 7:14-28; 9:12-15,24-28; 12:2; 13:8; 1 Peter 2:21-25; 3:22; 1 John 1:7-9; 3:2; 4:14-15; 5:9; 2 John 7-9; Revelation 1:13-16; 5:9-14; 12:10-11; 13:8; 19:16.
- God the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. He inspired holy men of old to write the Scriptures. Through illumination, He enables men to understand truth. He exalts God the Father and the Son. He convicts men of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. He calls men to the Savior, and effects regeneration. At the moment of regeneration, He baptizes every believer into the Body of Christ and comes to permanently live within them. He cultivates Christian character, comforts believers, and bestows the spiritual gifts by which they serve God through His church. He seals the believer unto the day of final redemption. His presence in the Christian is the guarantee that God will bring the believer into the fullness of the stature of Christ. He enlightens and empowers the believer and the church in worship, evangelism, and service.
We believe that the sign gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as speaking in tongues and the gift of healing, were temporary. Speaking in tongues was never the common or necessary sign of the baptism or filling of the Holy Spirit. Ultimate deliverance of the body from sickness or death awaits the consummation of our salvation in the resurrection, though God frequently chooses to answer the prayers of believers for physical healing.
Genesis 1:2; Judges 14:6; Job 26:13; Psalms 51:11; 139:7ff.; Isaiah 61:1-3; Joel 2:28-32; Matthew 1:18; 3:16; 4:1; 12:28-32; 28:19; Mark 1:10,12; Luke 1:35; 4:1,18-19; 11:13; 12:12; 24:49; John 4:24; 14:16-17,26; 15:26; 16:7-14; Acts 1:8; 2:1-4,38; 4:31; 5:3; 6:3; 7:55; 8:17,39; 10:44; 13:2; 15:28; 16:6; 19:1-6; Romans 8:9-11,14-16,26-27; 1 Corinthians 1:22; 2:10-14; 3:16; 12:3-11,13;13:8; 14:21-22; Galatians 4:6; Ephesians 1:13-14; 4:30; 5:18; 1 Thessalonians 5:19; 1 Timothy 3:16; 4:1; 2 Timothy 1:14; 3:16; Hebrews 9:8,14; 2 Peter 1:21; 1 John 4:13; 5:6-7; Revelation 1:10; 22:17.
(C) Man
Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation. The gift of gender is thus part of the goodness of God's creation. In the beginning man was innocent of sin and was endowed by his Creator with freedom of choice. By his free choice, man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. Through the temptation of Satan man transgressed the command of God, and fell from his original innocence whereby his posterity inherit a nature and an environment inclined toward sin. Therefore, as soon as they are capable of moral action, they become transgressors and are under condemnation. Man is totally depraved and, of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition. Only the grace of God can bring man into His holy fellowship and enable man to fulfill the creative purpose of God. The sacredness of human personality is evident in that God created man in His own image, and in that Christ died for man; therefore, every person of every race possesses full dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love.
Genesis 1:26-30; 2:5,7,18-22; 3; 9:6; Psalms 1; 8:3-6; 32:1-5; 51:5; Isaiah 6:5; Jeremiah 17:5; Matthew 16:26; Acts 17:26-31; Romans 1:19-32; 3:10-18,23; 5:6,12,19; 6:6; 7:14-25; 8:14-18,29; 1 Corinthians 1:21-31; 15:19,21-22; Ephesians 2:1-22; Colossians 1:21-22; 3:9-11.
(D) Salvation
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.
- Regeneration, or the new birth, is a work of God's grace whereby believers become new creatures in Christ Jesus. It is a change of heart wrought by the Holy Spirit through conviction of sin, to which the sinner responds in repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Repentance and faith are inseparable experiences of grace.
Repentance is a genuine turning from sin toward God. Faith is the acceptance of Jesus Christ and commitment of the entire person to Him as Lord and Savior.
- Justification is God's gracious and full acquittal upon principles of His righteousness of all sinners who repent and believe in Christ. Justification brings the believer unto a relationship of peace and favor with God.
- Sanctification is the experience, beginning in regeneration, by which the believer is set apart to God's purposes, and is enabled to progress toward moral and spiritual maturity through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in him. Growth in grace should continue throughout the regenerate person's life.
- Glorification is the culmination of salvation and is the final blessed and abiding state of the redeemed.
Genesis 3:15; Exodus 3:14-17; 6:2-8; Matthew 1:21; 4:17; 16:21-26; 27:22-28:6; Luke 1:68-69; 2:28-32; John 1:11-14,29; 3:3-21,36; 5:24; 10:9,28-29; 15:1-16; 17:17; Acts 2:21; 4:12; 15:11; 16:30-31; 17:30-31; 20:32; Romans 1:16-18; 2:4; 3:23-25; 4:3ff.; 5:8-10; 6:1-23; 8:1-18,29-39; 10:9-10,13; 13:11-14; 1 Corinthians 1:18,30; 6:19-20; 15:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20; Galatians 2:20; 3:13; 5:22-25; 6:15; Ephesians 1:7; 2:8-22; 4:11-16; Philippians 2:12-13; Colossians 1:9-22; 3:1ff.; 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24; 2 Timothy 1:12; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 2:1-3; 5:8-9; 9:24-28; 11:1-12:8,14; James 2:14-26; 1 Peter 1:2-23; 1 John 1:6-2:11; Revelation 3:20; 21:1-22:5.
(E) God's Purpose of Grace
Election is the gracious purpose of God, according to which He regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies sinners. It is consistent with the free agency of man, and comprehends all the means in connection with the end. It is the glorious display of God's sovereign goodness, and is infinitely wise, holy, and unchangeable. It excludes boasting and promotes humility.
All true believers endure to the end. Those whom God has accepted in Christ, and sanctified by His Spirit, will never fall away from the state of grace, but shall persevere to the end. Believers may fall into sin through neglect and temptation, whereby they grieve the Spirit, impair their graces and comforts, and bring reproach on the cause of Christ and temporal judgments on themselves; yet they shall be kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.
Genesis 12:1-3; Exodus 19:5-8; 1 Samuel 8:4-7,19-22; Isaiah 5:1-7; Jeremiah 31:31ff.; Matthew 16:18-19; 21:28-45; 24:22,31; 25:34; Luke 1:68-79; 2:29-32; 19:41-44; 24:44-48; John 1:12-14; 3:16; 5:24; 6:44-45,65; 10:27-29; 15:16; 17:6,12,17-18; Acts 20:32; Romans 5:9-10; 8:28-39; 10:12-15; 11:5-7,26-36; 1 Corinthians 1:1-2; 15:24-28; Ephesians 1:4-23; 2:1-10; 3:1-11; Colossians 1:12-14; 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14; 2 Timothy 1:12; 2:10,19; Hebrews 11:39–12:2; James 1:12; 1 Peter 1:2-5,13; 2:4-10; 1 John 1:7-9; 2:19; 3:2.
(F) The Church
A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel; observing the two ordinances of Christ, governed by His laws, exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His Word, and seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of the earth. Each congregation operates under the Lordship of Christ through democratic processes. In such a congregation each member is responsible and accountable to Christ as Lord. Its scriptural officers are pastors and deacons. While both men and women are gifted for service in the church, the offices of pastor and deacon are limited to men as qualified by Scripture.
The New Testament speaks also of the church as the Body of Christ, which includes all of the redeemed of all the ages, believers from every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.
Matthew 16:15-19; 18:15-20; Acts 2:41-42,47; 5:11-14; 6:3-6; 13:1-3; 14:23,27; 15:1-30; 16:5; 20:28; Romans 1:7; 1 Corinthians 1:2; 3:16; 5:4-5; 7:17; 9:13-14; 12; Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:19-22; 3:8-11,21; 5:22-32; Philippians 1:1; Colossians 1:18; 1 Timothy 2:9-14; 3:1-15; 4:14; Hebrews 11:39-40; 1 Peter 5:1-4; Revelation 2-3; 21:2-3.
(G) Baptism and the Lord's Supper
Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer's faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Savior, the believer's death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus. It is a testimony to his faith in the final resurrection of the dead. Being a church ordinance, it is prerequisite to the privileges of church membership and to the Lord's Supper.
The Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members of the church, through partaking of the bread and the fruit of the vine, memorialize the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His second coming.
Matthew 3:13-17; 26:26-30; 28:19-20; Mark 1:9-11; 14:22-26; Luke 3:21-22; 22:19-20; John 3:23; Acts 2:41-42; 8:35-39; 16:30-33; 20:7; Romans 6:3-5; 1 Corinthians 10:16,21; 11:23-29; Colossians 2:12.
(H) The Lord's Day
The first day of the week is the Lord's Day. It is a Christian institution for regular observance. It commemorates the resurrection of Christ from the dead and should include exercises of worship and spiritual devotion, both public and private. Activities on the Lord's Day should be commensurate with the Holy Scripture and the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
Exodus 20:8-11; Matthew 12:1-12; 28:1ff.; Mark 2:27-28; 16:1-7; Luke 24:1-3,33-36; John 4:21-24; 20:1,19-28; Acts 20:7; Romans 14:5-10; I Corinthians 16:1-2; Colossians 2:16; 3:16; Revelation 1:10.
(I) The Kingdom
The Kingdom of God includes both His general sovereignty over the universe and His particular kingship over men who willfully acknowledge Him as King. Particularly the Kingdom is the realm of salvation into which men enter by trustful, childlike commitment to Jesus Christ. Christians ought to pray and to labor that the Kingdom may come and God's will be done on earth. The full consummation of the Kingdom awaits the return of Jesus Christ and the end of this age.
Genesis 1:1; Isaiah 9:6-7; Jeremiah 23:5-6; Matthew 3:2; 4:8-10,23; 12:25-28; 13:1-52; 25:31-46; 26:29; Mark 1:14-15; 9:1; Luke 4:43; 8:1; 9:2; 12:31-32; 17:20-21; 23:42; John 3:3; 18:36; Acts 1:6-7; 17:22-31; Romans 5:17; 8:19; 1 Corinthians 15:24-28; Colossians 1:13; Hebrews 11:10,16; 12:28; 1 Peter 2:4-10; 4:13; Revelation 1:6,9; 5:10; 11:15; 21-22.
(J) Last Things
God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring the world to its appropriate end. According to His promise, Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly in glory to the earth; the dead will be raised; and Christ will judge all men in righteousness. The unrighteous will be consigned to Hell, the place of everlasting punishment. The righteous in their resurrected and glorified bodies will receive their reward and will dwell forever in Heaven with the Lord.
Isaiah 2:4; 11:9; Matthew 16:27; 18:8-9; 19:28; 24:27,30,36,44; 25:31-46; 26:64; Mark 8:38; 9:43-48; Luke 12:40,48; 16:19-26; 17:22-37; 21:27-28; John 14:1-3; Acts 1:11; 17:31; Romans 14:10; 1 Corinthians 4:5; 15:24-28,35-58; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Philippians 3:20-21; Colossians 1:5; 3:4; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18; 5:1ff.; 2 Thessalonians 1:7ff.; 2; 1 Timothy 6:14; 2 Timothy 4:1,8; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 9:27-28; James 5:8; 2 Peter 3:7ff.; 1 John 2:28; 3:2; Jude 14; Revelation 1:18; 3:11; 20:1-22:13.
(K) Evangelism and Missions
It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and of every church of the Lord Jesus Christ to endeavor to make disciples of all nations. The new birth of man's spirit by God's Holy Spirit means the birth of love for others. Missionary effort on the part of all rests thus upon a spiritual necessity of the regenerate life, and is expressly and repeatedly commanded in the teachings of Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ has commanded the preaching of the gospel to all nations. It is the duty of every child of God to seek constantly to win the lost to Christ by verbal witness undergirded by a Christian lifestyle, and by other methods in harmony with the gospel of Christ.
Genesis 12:1-3; Exodus 19:5-6; Isaiah 6:1-8; Matthew 9:37-38; 10:5-15; 13:18-30, 37-43; 16:19; 22:9-10; 24:14; 28:18-20; Luke 10:1-18; 24:46-53; John 14:11-12; 15:7-8,16; 17:15; 20:21; Acts 1:8; 2; 8:26-40; 10:42-48; 13:2-3; Romans 10:13-15; Ephesians 3:1-11; 1 Thessalonians 1:8; 2 Timothy 4:5; Hebrews 2:1-3; 11:39-12:2; 1 Peter 2:4-10; Revelation 22:17.
(L) Education
Christianity is the faith of enlightenment and intelligence. In Jesus Christ abide all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. All sound learning is, therefore, a part of our Christian heritage. The new birth opens all human faculties and creates a thirst for knowledge. Moreover, the cause of education in the Kingdom of Christ is co-ordinate with the causes of missions and general benevolence, and should receive along with these the liberal support of the churches. An adequate system of Christian education is necessary to a complete spiritual program for Christ's people.
In Christian education there should be a proper balance between academic freedom and academic responsibility. Freedom in any orderly relationship of human life is always limited and never absolute. The freedom of a teacher in a Christian school, college, or seminary is limited by the pre-eminence of Jesus Christ, by the authoritative nature of the Scriptures, and by the distinct purpose for which the school exists.
Deuteronomy 4:1,5,9,14; 6:1-10; 31:12-13; Nehemiah 8:1-8; Job 28:28; Psalms 19:7ff.; 119:11; Proverbs 3:13ff.; 4:1-10; 8:1-7,11; 15:14; Ecclesiastes 7:19; Matthew 5:2; 7:24ff.; 28:19-20; Luke 2:40; 1 Corinthians 1:18-31; Ephesians 4:11-16; Philippians 4:8; Colossians 2:3,8-9; 1 Timothy 1:3-7; 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:14-17; Hebrews 5:12-6:3; James 1:5; 3:17.
(M) Stewardship
God is the source of all blessings, temporal and spiritual; all that we have and are we owe to Him. Christians have a spiritual debtorship to the whole world, a holy trusteeship in the gospel, and a binding stewardship in their possessions. They are therefore under obligation to serve Him with their time, talents, and material possessions; and should recognize all these as entrusted to them to use for the glory of God and for helping others. According to the Scriptures, Christians should contribute of their means cheerfully, regularly, systematically, proportionately, and liberally for the advancement of the Redeemer's cause on earth.
Genesis 14:20; Leviticus 27:30-32; Deuteronomy 8:18; Malachi 3:8-12; Matthew 6:1-4,19-21; 19:21; 23:23; 25:14-29; Luke 12:16-21,42; 16:1-13; Acts 2:44-47; 5:1-11; 17:24-25; 20:35; Romans 6:6-22; 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2; 6:19-20; 12; 16:1-4; 2 Corinthians 8-9; 12:15; Philippians 4:10-19; 1 Peter 1:18-19.
(N) Cooperation
Christ's people should, as occasion requires, organize such associations and conventions as may best secure cooperation for the great objects of the Kingdom of God. Such organizations have no authority over one another or over the churches. They are voluntary and advisory bodies designed to elicit, combine, and direct the energies of our people in the most effective manner. Members of New Testament churches should cooperate with one another in carrying forward the missionary, educational, and benevolent ministries for the extension of Christ's Kingdom. Christian unity in the New Testament sense is spiritual harmony and voluntary cooperation for common ends by various groups of Christ's people. Cooperation is desirable between the various Christian denominations, when the end to be attained is itself justified, and when such cooperation involves no violation of conscience or compromise of loyalty to Christ and His Word as revealed in the New Testament.

(O) The Christian and the Social Order
All Christians are under obligation to seek to make the will of Christ supreme in our own lives and in human society. Means and methods used for the improvement of society and the establishment of righteousness among men can be truly and permanently helpful only when they are rooted in the regeneration of the individual by the saving grace of God in Jesus Christ. In the spirit of Christ, Christians should oppose racism, every form of greed, selfishness, and vice, and all forms of sexual immorality, including adultery, homosexuality, and pornography. Additionally, we should refrain from all immodest and immoderate appearances. We should work to provide for the orphaned, the needy, the abused, the aged, the helpless, and the sick. We should speak on behalf of the unborn and contend for the sanctity of all human life from conception to natural death. Every Christian should seek to bring industry, government, and society as a whole under the sway of the principles of righteousness, truth, and brotherly love. In order to promote these ends Christians should be ready to work with all men of good will in any good cause, always being careful to act in the spirit of love without compromising their loyalty to Christ and His truth.
Exodus 20:3-17; Leviticus 6:2-5; Deuteronomy 10:12; 27:17; Psalm 101:5; Micah 6:8; Zechariah 8:16; Matthew 5:13-16,43-48; 22:36-40; 25:35; Mark 1:29-34; 2:3ff.; 10:21; Luke 4:18-21; 10:27-37; 20:25; John 15:12; 17:15; Romans 12–14; 1Corinthians 5:9-10; 6:1-7; 7:20-24; 10:23-11:1; Galatians 3:26-28; Ephesians 6:5-9; Colossians 3:12-17; 1 Thessalonians 3:12; Philemon; James 1:27; 2:8.
(P) Peace and War
It is the duty of Christians to seek peace with all men on principles of righteousness. In accordance with the spirit and teachings of Christ they should do all in their power to put an end to war.
The true remedy for the war spirit is the gospel of our Lord. The supreme need of the world is the acceptance of His teachings in all the affairs of men and nations, and the practical application of His law of love. Christian people throughout the world should pray for the reign of the Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 2:4; Matthew 5:9, 38-48; 6:33; 26:52; Luke 22:36, 38; Romans 12:18-19; 13:1-7; 14:19; Hebrews 12:14; James 4:1-2.
(Q) Religious Liberty
God alone is Lord of the conscience, and He has left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men, which are contrary to His Word or not contained in it. Church and state should be separate.
The state owes to every church protection and full freedom in the pursuit of its spiritual ends. In providing for such freedom, no ecclesiastical group or denomination should be favored by the state more than others. Civil government being ordained of God, it is the duty of Christians to render loyal obedience thereto in all things not contrary to the revealed will of God. The church should not resort to the civil power to carry on its work. The gospel of Christ contemplates spiritual means alone for the pursuit of its ends. The state has no right to impose penalties for religious opinions of any kind. The state has no right to impose taxes for the support of any form of religion. A free church in a free state is the Christian ideal, and this implies the right of free and unhindered access to God on the part of all men, and the right to form and propagate opinions in the sphere of religion without interference by the civil power. In no way does any of this preclude the Godly influence of Christian men and women upon the state. In fact, in a Republic society, Christians have a God-given responsibility to ensure the state is governed by biblical principles.
Genesis 1:27; 2:7; Matthew 6:6-7,24; 16:26; 22:21; John 8:36; Acts 4:19-20; Romans 6:1-2; 13:1-7; Galatians 5:1,13; Philippians 3:20; 1 Timothy 2:1-2; James 4:12; 1 Peter 2:12-17; 3:11-17; 4:12-19.
(R) The Family
God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. It is composed of persons related to one another by marriage, blood, or adoption.
Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime. It is God's unique gift to reveal the union between Christ and His church and to provide for the man and the woman in marriage the framework for intimate companionship, the channel of sexual expression according to biblical standards, and the means for procreation of the human race.
The husband and wife are of equal worth before God, since both are created in God's image. The marriage relationship models the way God relates to His people. A husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church. He has the God-given responsibility to provide for, to protect, and to lead his family. A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ. She, being in the image of God as is her husband and thus equal to him, has the God-given responsibility to respect her husband and to serve as his helper in managing the household and nurturing the next generation.
Children, from the moment of conception, are a blessing and heritage from the Lord. Parents are to demonstrate to their children God's pattern for marriage. Parents are to teach their children spiritual and moral values and to lead them, through consistent lifestyle example and loving discipline, to make choices based on biblical truth. Children are to honor and obey their parents.
Genesis 1:26-28; 2:15-25; 3:1-20; Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Joshua 24:15; 1 Samuel 1:26-28; Psalms 51:5; 78:1-8; 127; 128; 139:13-16; Proverbs 1:8; 5:15-20; 6:20-22; 12:4; 13:24; 14:1; 17:6; 18:22; 22:6,15; 23:13-14; 24:3; 29:15,17; 31:10-31; Ecclesiastes 4:9-12; 9:9; Malachi 2:14-16; Matthew 5:31-32; 18:2-5; 19:3-9; Mark 10:6-12; Romans 1:18-32; 1 Corinthians 7:1-16; Ephesians 5:21-33; 6:1-4; Colossians 3:18-21; 1 Timothy 5:8,14; 2 Timothy 1:3-5; Titus 2:3-5; Hebrews 13:4; 1 Peter 3:1-7.
(S) Satan
We believe that Satan is a personal, created being of God, the author of sin and the cause of the Fall of Man; that he is the open and declared enemy of God and man; and that he shall be eternally punished in the Lake of Fire.
Job 1:6-7; Isa. 14:12-17; Matt. 4:2-11; 25:41; Rev. 20:10
(T) Sexuality
We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between one man and one woman. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery, pedophilia, necrophilia, cross-dressing, trans-genderism, and pornography are sinful perversions of God's gift of sex. We believe that God disapproves of and forbids any attempt to alter one's gender by surgery or appearance.
Gen. 2:24; Gen. 19:5, 13; Gen. 26:8-9; Lev. 18:1-30; Rom. 1: 26-29; 1 Cor. 5:1; 6:9; 1 Thess. 4:1-8; Heb. 13:4
(U) Divorce and Remarriage
We believe that God disapproves of and forbids divorce and intends marriage to last until one of the spouses dies. Divorce and remarriage is regarded as adultery except on the grounds of sexual immorality.
Mal. 2:14-17; Matt. 19:3-12; Rom. 7:1-3; I Cor. 7:10-16; 1 Tim. 3:2, 12; Titus 1:6
(V) Abortion
We believe that human life begins at conception and that the unborn child is a living human being. Abortion constitutes the unjustified, unexcused taking of unborn human life. Abortion is murder. We reject any teaching that abortions of pregnancies due to rape, incest, birth defects, gender selection, birth or population control, or the mental well being of the mother are acceptable. In cases of extreme medical circumstance where the physical lives of both mother and child are endangered, we encourage medical personnel to prioritize their care in such a way to preserve the maximum number of survivors.
Job 3:16; Ps. 51:5; 139:14-16; Isa. 44:24; 49:1, 5; Jer. 1:5; 20:15-18; Luke 1:44
(W) Euthanasia
We believe that the direct taking of an innocent human life is a moral evil, regardless of the intention. Life is a gift of God and must be respected from conception until natural death. Thus we believe that an act or omission which, of itself or by intention, causes death in order to eliminate suffering constitutes a murder contrary to the will of God. Discontinuing medical procedures that are extraordinary or disproportionate to the expected outcome can be a legitimate refusal of over-zealous treatment.
Ex. 20:13, 23:7; Matt. 5:21; Acts 17:28
(X) Lawsuits Between Believers
We believe that Christians are prohibited from bringing civil lawsuits against other Christians or the church to resolve personal disputes. We believe the church possesses all the resources necessary to resolve personal disputes between members. We do believe, however, that a Christian may seek compensation for injuries from another Christian's insurance company as long as the claim is pursued without malice or slander.
1 Cor. 6:1-8; Eph. 4:31-32

Update Feb 2014: This project is currently not under development. If you wish to take it up and finish it (angular-1.2 branch is nearly ready), please email [email protected]
This project has not been released yet. It is still in alpha stage, but it is usable in an app if you are willing to face a few API changes here and there.
##Description Native AngularJS directives for jQuery Mobile. Small footprint, no 3rd party JS dependencies (jQuery, jQuery Mobile JS) required!
refresh method
to refresh to whole widget (e.g. a
listview), but not parts of it.
This is very similar to the angular bootstrap integration: There is an adapter that uses the JavaScript part of bootstrap, angular-strap (http://mgcrea.github.io/angular-strap/), and another version that uses the boostrap css only from the angular-ui team (http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/).
To ensure that our directives work correctly we create special tests that compare the generated markup of our directives with the markup generated by plain jquery mobile. By this it should also be easy to keep track of changes in jquery mobile when they release newer versions.
Directory structure
npm install and then
grunt install
grunt dev
(this needs grunt-cli installed globally:
npm install grunt-cli -g)
for all source files we have unit tests
for all directives, we additionally have tests that compare the markup with the real jqm widgets
unit tests may access every private function in
For the whole build, we are using an immediately executing function expression to ensure that no variable leaks into the global scope. However, when running the unit tests we include the source files without that protection. Note: The same principle is used by angular for it's sources and unit tests.
Your main html file should look like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="app">
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="jquery.mobile-1.3.1.css">
<script src="angular.js"></script>
<script src="angular-mobile.js"></script>
<script src="angular-jqm.js"></script>
<!-- include your application script files here -->
<script src="app.js"></script>
<body jqm-caching-view>
Inside your application scripts, define a new module that depends on the module
jqm and setup routes
for all pages that you want to display. E.g.:
var mod = angular.module('app', ['jqm']);
mod.config(function($routeProvider) {
// A route for a single page
$routeProvider.when("/", {
redirectTo: "main.html"
// A route for all pages in one folder
$routeProvider.when("/:page", {
animation: 'page-slide',
templateUrl: function(params) {
return params.page;
We already set up pages to play with during development and compare your directive with jquery mobile.
For this, first do a
grunt dev. Then visit one of the following pages:

Pravrutti and Nivrutti
Veda Vyasa was very good in Pravrutti and Nivrutti both in theory and practice. But he could not over come the worldly bonds, when he entered the family life. He was attracted by the dancer from heaven and was in blind love for his son. He went up to Tapo Loka. The sage Shuka avoided the family life for the fear of the attraction of worldly bonds. Bhagavatam says that he did not come out of the womb of his mother for a long time fearing for the world. He went to the divine abode of the Lord. Gopikas were in the climax of Nivrutti and violated even Pravrutti for the sake of Nivrutti. They went to Goloka which is above the divine abode of God. This is Bhagavatam which touched the divine abode of God and also above it. All this is Nivrutti.

We've all had transitions go sideways in the classroom. You ask the students to do something simple like put away supplies, and suddenly chaos erupts. The noise level goes way up, the pencil sharpener grinds, and students roam everywhere. And you find yourself spending 10 minutes or more struggling to resettle the class so you can get on with the next thing.
Transitions can spiral out of control even when you explicitly teach the students your expectations and cue correctly. But if this happens often, it can cost you hours of instructional time. Think about it – 10 minutes for each transition of the day times 5 days a week – YIKES!
A Simple Mind Shift to Reclaim Your Transitions
If you'd like to reclaim your transitions, I suggest a simple mind shift. It has to do with your belief about what a transition actually is.
What if would happen if you changed your belief about transitions, and decided they were just as important as direct instruction?
I've noticed that students and teachers both tend to think of transitions as break time. Students feel free to get a drink of water, come up and ask questions, and so on. A parent or other adult who would never interrupt a lesson thinks a transition is a good time to start a conversation with the teacher or a student. We ourselves often use transition time as a chance to take a sip of coffee, get our supplies ready for the next lesson, and so on. We are modeling "take a break" by our actions, if not our words.
What if would happen if you changed your belief about transitions, and decided they were just as important as direct instruction? That both you and the students have an important job to do, and that you would no more tolerate an interruption to a transition than you would an interruption in direct instruction?
Definition of Transition
The Dictionary.com definition of transition is "a process or period of changing from one state or condition to another." Some synonyms are metamorphosis, alteration, and changeover. None of that sounds like break time to me! Don't get me wrong. I think it's a great idea for students and teachers to stay hydrated and to move around once in awhile. But I don't think every transition needs to turn into a break.
One of the best ways to signal that a transition isn't a break is to require the transition to be done without talking and/or within a short amount of time. Be active during transitions. Watch what's happening. Correct students as needed, and reinforce those who are staying focused. If someone tries to talk to you, politely ask them to speak with you during independent work time, or during an actual break.

NOTES ON A JOURNEY is looking eagerly forward to finally celebrating the first proper release of Spinning Motion's "Confidence In The Future".
180g vinyl + Old School Tip On Heavy Weight
Gatefold) + Download Card + Lyrics Sheet
As you are listen to "Confidence In The Future" today, it quickly becomes clear what
kind of worlds must have collided here. A stunning amalgamation of aural treats,
created by making subtle compromises between Pop, Jazz, Rock and Folk, that exists
in every single track acrossthe- board. Due to its stylistic complexity "Confidence In
The Future" is an album that is somehow never really able to settle on any one taste,
inevitably opening up new dimensions to the listener. Imagine how this was in 1980.
Especially in Berlin's commercial music scene.
And especially when the involved musicians treated the project after its completion,
more like a matter of personal importance than a career move. And for Hirsch,
Spinning Motion's initiator, all of this seemed to be fulfilling enough. Prophetically the
record is named after the most significant song of the eight-piece collection
"Confidence In The Future". 35 years on the title finds the verification it deserves. It
unleashes its bottled power no sooner than the day,
Jazzanova member and Notes On A Journey co-founder, Stefan Leisering finds the
record in a crate at the flea market on the Strasse des 17. Juni. Like a bottle of
Château Lafitte-Rothschild unearthed after 35 years, forgotten about in an abandoned
cellar, do we get to experience the quiet composure and savage intensity of a treasure
brought to light. It takes Leisering another ten years to comprehend what kind of music
historical treasure has been hiding in his record collection. He acquired "Confidence In
The Future" sometime in the early noughties and only by re-listening to this oddity one
day in 2010 or 2011 did everything finally click into place. A lost gem of Berlin Pop
history, one that could almost never have happened.
Compositions so ahead of their time that you can only understand and classify them
today properly. There's a sense of inadvertent (and therefore unaffected)
ingeniousness in songs like "Devotion To You", "Prisoner Of Life" and "Playground Of
Burial-Funds" that you have to live in the 21st Century to appreciate fully. Each of the
eight tracks (maybe apart from the instrumental closer "Elegy") has some sort of
melancholy, introverted reflectiveness, and yet still always something conciliatory.
Manfred Tappert's voice lends his lyrics, written by him, but preconceived by Hirsch,
something utterly personal, intimate even. Every single song, particularly within the
framework of the oeuvre, tells a story, and due to this intimacy, and the adventurous
arrangements touches you deeply. No matter the time or place.
To add to all of this, this incomparable record has also an entirely different facet, which
only becomes apparent with today's perspective. The title track, "Confidence In The
Future", and "Answer My Questions" remind one eerily of Kings Of Convenience, and
the cosy "Naze" resembles Turin Brakes. So evidently that you'll find yourself, while
listening, in a quaint retroretro- loop, the musical equivalent of a time paradox. But this
is exactly the beauty of music. Music doesn't abide by the rules of time and space as
we do, and therefore each listen to each piece of music is unique and purely based on
the context of the listening. And every once in a while times have to change just so
music can find a new determination and new listeners. Confidence in the future
ultimately means: Good music is patient, outlives everything and will sooner or much,
much later find its destination. NOTES ON A JOURNEY is looking eagerly forward to
finally celebrating the first proper release of Spinning Motion's "Confidence In The

This tip will show you how to make asynchronous calls from ASP.NET MVC views using Ajax helper and JQuery and the required settings.
Often, we want to issue requests to controller actions from a view to update some sections without having to load the whole page and by the same time experiencing the famous page flickering, focus losing on some controls,...I think you get the idea!
The solution is obvious: make an asynchronous request. MVC Ajax helper and JQuery make that just simple and easy to do. And the way I think about it is in the Partial Rendering of the old ASP.NET Update Panel.
At the beginning, you have to make sure that your MVC project has a bundle script for your favorite JQuery version. You can check that in the BundleConfig class under App_Start folder.
You should have something as follows:
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jquery").Include("~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js"));
And then in the _Layout view (which is the master page for ASP.NET WebForms folks!) under Shared folder:
These are part of bundling and minification of ASP.NET MVC. It means that MVC framework will emit for you the references to your scripts and styles with one line of code and will minify them in release mode. This can boost a little bit the performance of your application because the minification versions of scripts and styles are lighter.
Of course, you could reference the minification versions of JavaScript libraries but then you cannot combine styles or scripts in a single minified file.
One other thing that can help performance of your application, is to reference the scripts and styles in the bottom of _Layout view whenever possible and leave the section script empty in the other views:
@section scripts {
This way, your browser will not wait to download all the scripts and styles files. You could also use a cdn fallback here but it's another topic!
Back, to our Ajax request. Let's say that we want to update the following division with some sort of data coming from server side controller.

selected date: <input type="text" id="datepicker">

updated date from server: <input type="text" id="dateUpdated">

Note that you may make it as partial view also if you have some sort of pattern that should be repeated and it happens often in those scenarios. You should avoid having your views rendered many times. I mean, if some HTML controls seem to appear more than one time on your view (when rendering partial views). If you find yourself with this problem at hand, just go to controller and try to control what should be rendered:
// return only the piece of information needed or the partial view etc.
And then, add the JQuery script to make a Datepicker:
$(function() {
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
And then, add the following code:
new AjaxOptions{
<input type ="submit" value ="search"/>
Basically, we are doing here a Get request and want to replace the content of the specified area ("mydiv" in this case). You may add some fading in and out using JQuery to make it obvious that your section is updated. I leave it to you as an exercise.
Now let's use JQuery to achieve the same thing. First, we need to get rid of the Ajax.BeginForm and replace it by a regular one as follows:
<form method= "get" action= "@Url.Action(index)" data-m2a-ajax= "true" data-m2a-target = "#mydiv">
Note that @Url.Action(index) is reference to our controller action.
Add a new script file to your project and don't forget to add it to the bundle just after JQuery.
Inside the file, code the following:
var ajaxFormSubmit = function(){
var $form = $(this); //gives access to the form
var options = {
url: $form.attr("action"),
type: $from.attr("method"),
data: $form.serialize()
$.ajax(options).done(function (data){
var $theDiv= $($form.attr("data-m2a-target"));
return false;// to prevent the browser from going away!
$("form[data-m2a-ajax= 'true']").submit(ajaxFormSubmit);
Here, when the submit button is hit, we call ajax FormSubmit function to handle the form submission. So we grab the reference to the form like this:
var $form = $(this);
It's considered a good practice to begin any JQuery object by $ to be able to recognise easily. But it's up to you.
Then handle the submission of the form by adding some options just as we did previously in the Ajax helper call. Use: $.ajax(options) to do the call by wiring also the callback function when it's done. The data contains all the data that comes back from the server. So find the element for which you want to replace the content and go ahead replace it by data:
var $theDiv= $($form.attr("data-m2a-target"));
Of course, we could make this JQuery code a little better and managing errors or handling exceptions. But I leave it to the reader.
Hope this will help somebody somewhere...

My mommy heart was hurting, but...she is an adult. She made an adult choice. And I know she'll be okay. I got 2 letters today dated Monday and Tuesday---actually notes. She apologized for Saturday's letter. She knows her moods are swinging. She said she is okay. She knows she will get through this. Thanks for helping me see what I needed to see.

My questions are: The colour is metallic silver - is this too much for daytime wear? Does anyone have a pair, if so I'd love to see some pics in daylight so I cam gauge how "bling" they are? What is a reasonable price for them? Were they ever on sale? Any thoughts/pics would be greatly appreciated.

Title : Utilization of Gas Sparger for Submerged Culture Growth of L Cells and Manifold for Transfer Operations.
Descriptive Note : Technical rept. Feb 69-Jul 71,
Corporate Author : EDGEWOOD ARSENAL ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND MD
Personal Author(s) : Shepel,Michael
Report Date : JUN 1974
Pagination or Media Count : 19
Abstract : A gas sparger previously described for use in Bellco culture flasks has been tested in the laboratory to grow L-DR substrain mouse cells in a chemically defined medium. Adequate and continued propagation of L cells has been accomplished by using the criteria of doubling time, final population density, and recovery analysis following each 4-day passage. An inoculum of 5.24 x 1,00000.0 cells per milliliter (19.1 log (base 2) units) grew to a peak population level of 3.3 x 1,000,000.0 cells per milliliter (21.7 log (base 2 units) at the end of the log phase. A population doubling time of 25 hours was observed in the growth cycle of L-DR cells. In addition, the study showed that one ml of packed cell volume was equivalent to 5.46 x 1,000,000.0 cells. Extension of this value led to a determination of the productive output of the suspension gas culture system over a period of 32 days. The manifold-transfer apparatus performed according to design requirements for transfer operations. (Author)

"That technology background has helped me in HR," she says. "I just kind of ended up in HR because I helped develop the 401(k) system. It was just getting started and I knew as much about it as anyone else."
In 1989 she switched to the HR department and became administrator of the company's 401(k) plan, a large plan with approximately 4,000 employees in it. It's Watkins' favorite part of what she does.
"I think it's the greatest benefit Congress has rolled out," she says. "I've seen employees go out in style when they retire. It's a very good plan."
Not content to rest on her accounting/data processing degree from the University of Southern Mississippi, Watkins earned the Certified Employee Benefits Specialist designation in 1991 through the International Foundation of Employee Benefits and the Wharton School.
"This is something I'm very proud of," she says. "It was a series of 10 exams that covered every area of employee benefits. It helped me tremendously in learning benefits when I first started in that area. I do believe continuing education is extremely important."
She also completed requirements for the Senior Professional in Human Resources designation in 2003 offered by the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM). Active in that professional organization, she currently serves as membership chairman of the Capital Human Resources Chapter.
Health insurance challenges
Watkins is based at Southern Farm Casualty's headquarters in Ridgeland. In her work, she focuses on benefits and supervises human resources, payroll, the corporate communications department and the company receptionist. In addition to the 401(k) plan, she is responsible for a 2,000-employee retirement plan, a 3,000-employee flex plan and a 250-employee health benefits plan. She is pleased that the company, with employees in seven states, still has a pension plan.
"The biggest challenge is health insurance. It's a balancing act, trying to have coverage that's good and affordable, and it's harder to balance it every year," she says. "No decision we make is ideal. I would love to have a leveling off of medical costs, but it's out of my control. It's a scary thing that I know it's a struggle for all companies."
She's observed changes in benefits such as the switch from the theme of the 1980s to educate employees on investment choices for the 401(k) plans. "Now everything is going to more automated plans," she says. "There's a total change in how it's working. The focus changed to helping employees make choices they don't want to make."
Responsible for the company's government filings, Watkins believes Congress assures her job security for years to come. "It gets tedious," she said. "We refer to some of these acts as consultant acts because you have to hire a consultant to help you understand them."
Away from the office…
Her sense of humor helps her cope with the demands of the job and extends to time at home where she likes to relax in the whirlpool tub with a fleet of rubber ducks. "You have to smile when you see rubber ducks," she adds.
She and husband, James, an engineer with the Mississippi Department of Transportation, are water people and like to go boating on the Barnett Reservoir. They live in Gluckstadt and enjoy spending time with lots of family in Central Mississippi, including 14 nieces and nephews.
Also important to Watkins is her involvement as a volunteer instructor for several years in the Christian Women's Job Corp. It's a program sponsored by the Women's Missionary Union of the Southern Baptist Convention and is designed to give focused help to students in many areas.
Watkins grew up in Pearl, the youngest of Robert and Elane Sorey's five children. It was an extended family with lots of aunts, uncles and cousins. Some of her aunts were teachers, so Watkins says everything she did at school was reported to her parents.
"It's a great family — loving and supporting," she says. "Education was important. The question was not 'would we go to college' but 'where would we go'."

Paisley politicians have been in the pink as they support a high-profile initiative to tackle breast cancer.
People across Scotland are being urged to get behind the Wear It Pink fundraising drive being staged by the Breast Cancer Campaign.
And among those who have already joined in are Paisley MSP George Adam and his Labour rival Neil Bibby.
SNP man Mr Adam proved he's game for a laugh by donning pink specs and a pink feather boa as he gave his backing to the cause.
And Paisley-based Mr Bibby, who represents the West of Scotland as a list MSP, was left starry-eyed as he wore some special Wear It Pink glasses, as well as a giant rosette, to help get the message across.
Over the last 10 years, a total of £23million has been raised through the initiative and, on Friday, October 25, people across Renfrewshire will team up to raise more vital funds.
Mr Adams said "Every year in Scotland, around 4,400 people are diagnosed with breast cancer, including about 25 men.
"Sadly, around 1,000 people die from the disease each year.
"This is why we need to support Breast Cancer Campaign's fundraising efforts, so they can continue to fund research which will one day lead to a cure.
"We all know a family member or friend who has been diagnosed with cancer. I personally lost a close family member to the disease very recently, so doing our bit – even something as small as wearing something pink on October 25 – is our way of showing support for people dealing with this illness.
"I would ask people to join me by wearing their best pink tie or favourite pink hairband and donating £2 to this worthy cause. It's really is as simple as that."
To register for Wear It Pink Day and to receive your fundraising pack, visit www.wearitpink.org or call 0800 107 3104.

iv'e been with the church since the beginning, sure mistakes were made especially when you first start out. and i happen to know no one was hurt with intent in mind lots of people lost their homes it was the times, and bad loans made by mortgage companies . the bible says judge not and you shall not be judged, but judge ourselves daily, I know these pastors are good people with the salvation of others in mind they really don't want any one to end up in Hell. GOD does work through our church i have seen miracles and have had a miracle save my life I had an appointment with GOD and didn't even know it. so don't listen to nay sayers come and visit and you will see for your self.
I've been in ministry for 25 years and had never seen such a mess in my life. Not only are these people not prepared as Pastors, but their financial dealings and integrity come into question. They manipulate their congregation into giving, by using devious methods. They caused one member to lose their home by fraudently obtaining a lease on the house. Everywhere they go people are harmed. Especially the wife who actually manages the church. She seems to be the head of the church and the head of the family. The Husband walks around like he doesn't have a clue as to what is going on. It reminds me of the story of Adam & Eve. Adam is standing right there with Eve as the devil is tempting her with words, and Adam not only watches and hears...but does nothing to prevent a disatrous situation.

Since December 23rd, 1963, fans behind the sensational show Doctor Who have rallied behind the male-dominated role. They have found themselves standing beside the Doctor as he moved through the galaxy, stopping with his companions to meet new alien races, take in the sights, and even hang for a bit to enjoy some fish fingers and custard.
For 54 years we've seen a wide and unique ensemble of cast members join Doctor Who. We've seen a Doctor who was silly, goofy, and taught us valuable lessons of friendship and honesty through Tom Baker. We saw the serious, but endearing side of the Doctor through curiosity and his whimsical charm in Jon Pertwee. We even saw the meaning of the willingness to explore the unknown and take risks to see what you may never have seen had you not with Chris Eccleston.
While Matt Smith's Doctor taught us lessons on love and family, the bigger picture is painted all over the universe thanks to each iteration of the Doctor. There's one lesson that they all teach through the narrative: The show (and the fandom) is about acceptance, diversity and uniqueness; something that Peter Capaldi's Doctor stated more than once in his short tenure as the Twelfth Doctor.
With Jodie Whittaker preparing to take over the role during the 2017 Christmas Special, fans have already begun reacting over the reveal. However, many reactions show that it was time for a change to a female Doctor and why the show — now more than ever — needs to remain focused on diversity and acceptance.
#NotMyDoctor Is A Real Deal And It Sucks
Fans have been on the edge of nerve-racking anxiety as the announcement for the Thirteenth Doctor reveal drew near. Many were rallying behind actors such as Hugh Laurie (House) and Rupert Grint (Harry Potter franchise). Those accepting of a gender change even proposed Game of Thrones' very own Emilia Clarke and Agent Carter actress Hayley Atwell to take on the role.
However, there's a problem: sexism. Many of the tweets and posts on social media are about the Doctor's gender. There are those who don't want to see the Doctor as a female. One Twitter user even came out to point out the obvious, citing Peter Capaldi's Doctor:
Sadly, not all users remembered what the Doctor himself said.
Do fans really want to see the Doctor gone after just one season? People said the same thing about Capaldi and many of them learned to enjoy his wacky, off-the-wall antics.
It's worth noting that people seem to have forgotten that the Doctor isn't bound by the same laws we are: they do not have a gender.
It seems, just in these short few tweets, that people have forgotten about what #DoctorWho stands for, not just as a show, but as a fandom. It's always been about steering into the unknown whether we are ready or not.
Is Sexism Really A Problem Already?
We live in a world where women have to fight for equality. Whether it's cosplayers gender-bending their favorite characters, actors portraying a character of a different skin color, or the sexist slamming of films such as the all-female cast of Ghostbusters.
This issue has now arisen within the Doctor Who fandom. There's a lot of passion within the community, but they seem to forget what the Doctor would want were he or she real. The Doctor would want equality, acceptance, love and understanding.
It's no doubt frustrating to fans when change happens so rapidly, but the change is necessary for the show, not just the Thirteenth Doctor being played by Jodie Whittaker, but also by Michelle Gomez who took the role of Master after John Simm stepped down from the role.
The battle now? For sexism to stop, whether it's within the Doctor Who fanbase or beyond. It's a very real problem and this most recent issue proves that the world needs both a female Doctor Who as well as acceptance and diversity.
Are you ready for the Thirteenth Doctor? Sound off what you hope to see Jodie Whittaker accomplish in the show.

We're finally going to hear from the people in the white coats.
While Bret Michaels' reps have kept fans abreast of his condition since suffering a brain hemorrhage a week ago, his doctors are finally gearing up to offer their take on what's in store for the 47-year-old rock star:
"There is no doubt that Mr. Michaels' condition is serious. We are treating the subarachnoid hemorrhage, which caused his severe cranial pain," Dr. Joseph M. Zabramski, chief of Cerebrovascular Surgery and director of Clinical Neurosurgical Research at Barrow Neurological Institute, said in a statement released Friday by Michaels' camp.
E! News was first to report that Michaels was being treated at Barrow, which is part of St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix. His medical team will hold a press conference at noon on Tuesday.
"Mr. Michaels will continue to undergo testing considering we have hit a few roadblocks including hyponatremia, severe cranial and back pain suffered from blood drainage, an emergency appendectomy performed a week earlier and a lifelong history of type 1 diabetes.
"Bret's sheer will to live and fully recover is undeniable," the surgeon continued. "He has an unbelievable fight in him and told me what kept him alive at the moment of the hemorrhage was that he ?did not want his family to wake up and see him lying unconscious in the middle of the floor.' It was a combination of Bret's fight to stay conscious during the hemorrhage and get to the emergency room, and the immediate medical attention provided by our staff at Barrow that enabled us to stabilize his condition."
Thanks, doc, we hope to be hearing more positive news like that next week.

Alright, so it's finally time to start one of these things. I'll be posting most of my digital work I do for practice in this section. To start off though I'll post some stuff I've already done so you can get a sense of my work. A lot of it (and I mean a lot) is Berserk fanart, hence the title of the sketchbook. BTW that series is getting a movie, which you should check out the site for: http://www.berserkfilm.com/
Thanks for looking and be as harsh as you want with critiques. If I want to improve I need the input.
Here's a poster I made based on what I think the final volume of Berserk might be like. Following that are other fan work and practice images I've done.

Phaedra and Elsa Greene have spun a baroque vocal web on this release.
The chilling vocal duo known as the Casket Girls are out of the coffin and back in action, having released their third full-length album, Night Machines. Phaedra and Elsa Greene have spun a baroque vocal web on this release. And while dissonance may rule the day here, there are some very catchy vocals and harmonies on this platter. The album opens on a strong note with the track "24 Hours," a cacophony of sounds and eerie harmonies. This is the Casket Girls doing what they do best. They have not abandoned that hollow, misplaced sound that makes them who they are.
Musician, composer, and producer Ryan Graveface pens all the music on the album, just as he did on its predecessor True Love Kills The Fairytale, as well as on the Girls' debut album, Sleepwalking. Yet the lyrical content and all the vocals are written by the Greenes themselves. Such a combination makes for an album that, while not entirely fresh when compared to what has come before it, holds its own. Songs like "True Believers" may seem un-followable at first, especially to new listeners; however, the album as a whole is unique and relevant.
Vocally, the Casket Girls seem to have grown a bit. Their odd vocal harmonies are not quite as precise as on previous releases, but they are über-creative. Spotlight tracks include the opening song,"24 Hours"; "Sixteen Forever," an ode to the age; and "Mermaid Cottage," an eclectic song, which is not so reliant on a fancy production. It does seem that some are the tunes here are sans the whimsy of their previous recordings, and perhaps taken either too seriously, or not seriously enough. Yet, overall, the Casket Girls give a good performance here.
While not for everyone, this album is appealing in a strange way. It chills the listener in a manner all its own. C+ | Marc Farr

Niche websites and blogs have traditionally been seen as high risks by premium brands, but they also offer the chance to engage with highly targeted, receptive consumers, argues Shakeel Mughal, commercial director, Glam Media.
The web may be an obvious choice for direct response advertising, but for premium brand campaigns it comes with a certain degree of perceived risk. If you're a premium advertiser, how do you safely position your messages alongside the best content, while also avoiding dubious sites that may damage your brand?
For many brands, the internet today is still seen as the "Wild West;" it might be jam packed with some quality content, but there's also a lot of rubbish out there. In particular, premium brands fear the lack of control associated with targeting the long-tail and are quite right to be both concerned and intrigued by these smaller, niche sites.
The growth of the internet's long-tail -a large collection of smaller sites offering highly specialized content -has been fuelled by a dramatic shift in the way people consume media online.
We've seen an exponential growth in smaller, dedicated sites better equipped to service people's desire for content on more personal levels. The days of an internet dominated by a small number of major portals are long gone, with eighty percent of the time we now spend online made up exploring the long-tail.
The bigger players are losing ground fast: Yahoo! reports a £213m loss in advertising revenues in the fourth quarter of 2008 . This figure acts as a stark warning at a time when brands need to achieve maximum bang for their buck and dedicated sites that offer a more engaging experience for visitors continue to thrive.
In a recession, brands can't afford to take a scattershot approach and ignore content and context in the advertising mix. It's no longer just about reach--it's about being associated with high quality content and engaging consumers when and where they are most receptive.
If an advertiser is only interested in direct response marketing then the more clicks the better and it doesn't really matter how you get them. However, if a brand has spent decades cultivating a premium reputation aimed at a specific audience, then the context in which the brand appears remains key.
So what's the secret to getting your brand in the right place, at the right time? The emergence of vertical content networks, like Glam Media's that aggregate inventory from hundreds of niche sites and then present it back to advertisers with proper safeguards and accountability wrapped in, is one answer.
Smaller sites people visit directly offer a more engaging experience. In turn, advertisers can generate better awareness from a dedicated site that is able to understand where its traffic comes from, the content the site offers and how to win the last mile.
The 2009 Online Advertising Response Report showed that targeted adverts on relevant niche sites are 22 per cent more likely to receive a better response than on some of the larger more established portals.
With more than a fifth of consumers more likely to click through on an advert that's associated with content on a smaller site, the question really is how long can advertisers afford to ignore the power of the long-tail?
Until we recognise the importance of both niche context, online will continue to be seen by premium brands as the Wild West of the advertising world. Premium brands need to raise their game as consumers become savvier to online advertising and how it influences their purchasing decisions. We can learn a lot from the far more mature advertising medium of primetime TV.
Why do premium brands pay so much for these slots? Sure, it's about reach, but it's also about targeting consumers when they expect, and even desire, advertorial content. T-Mobile, for example, used the entire commercial break within Celebrity Big Brother to premiere its 'Dance' television advertisement.
This not only reached all those watching the show but did so exactly when the viewers were anticipating an advert; when they were in the right mindset to embrace the promotion and be more receptive to its message.

So as it turned out, I was unable to make it out to Bellingham, Washington to attend the 2016 Ozma Awards Ceremony and Chanticleer Author's Conference (life and stuff got in the way, sadly). As such, I figured that my lack of attendance would negate any chance I had of winning (not being too sure how these types of awards work…).
Glumly, I watched the first weekend of April go by, waving my chance at winning goodbye.
And forgot about the whole thing…
…(Silly me!)
On a whim, I checked out the Chanticleer website tonight and came across this little bit of news:
How about that?!
The First In Category award winners are to receive a complimentary book review from Chanticleer, as well as a bunch of other promotional items. And now I can say that my (as of yet unpublished) novel is an award winner! Priceless. 😀
Thank you to Chanticleer Book Reviews for providing a platform for me to have my manuscript reviewed. I'm feeling that much closer to turning Darksea into a real book – and me into a real author! (Reject me now, literary agents!!)
Congratulations to Christopher, Elisabeth, Vijay, Raven, Nicole and Murray for their category wins, and especially to Vijay, for also winning the Ozma Grand Prize!

[Ed: This is the first in a series of posts from campaign team members. First is Monika Penner, Volunteer Coordinator. Monika's always looking for new volunteers.]
I joined Brendan's campaign because he is deeply committed to addressing issues I believe are important not only to the communities of Ward 7, but to Edmonton as a whole. His experience and vision in addressing issues of safety are especially important to me as someone who confronts these issues in my daily work.
People want to be safe in their communities, and Brendan's approach recognizes that the City of Edmonton must support agencies that work with both victims and perpetrators of crime to establish strong community relationships and address root causes.
Brendan's experience as a registered social worker will help build these relationships and advocate for our community's most vulnerable. Brendan's knowledge of the social serving and not-for-profit realm is vital to ensuring that tax dollars are spent effectively in helping individuals facing poverty, homelessness, addiction and victimization. He understands that money spent in prevention is money saved in policing and treatment.
Brendan wants to address the root causes of crime, poverty and homelessness, and his work and volunteering have that same aim. He advocates for better transit, and he uses the system. He celebrates local businesses, and he spends his money locally. I encourage my neighbours in Ward 7 to vote for someone who has been working hard for these goals long before beginning his campaign. He has the experience, and the passion – and that is why I am voting for Brendan.
Monika Penner, Volunteer Coordinator
Monika is proud to live on Alberta Ave. She works with children and adolescents victimized by sexual abuse/assault, and is involved with several community initiatives which support individuals impacted by violence.

No, the Chudnow Museum of Yesteryear does not sound like a real place. And no, I hadn't heard of it before, either. But my recent visit to this not-so-hidden gem put it right near the top of the attractions I suggest to life-long or day-long Milwaukee residents. Think of it as a more-immersive Streets of Old Milwaukee, but inside a single house.
A man by the name of Avrum Chudnow spent his life collecting artifacts from the 1920s and 1930s and storing them in a well-kept Westown mansion, just off Marquette's campus. This formative time in the US and Milwaukee's history is often overshadowed by the book-end World Wars, but neither is mentioned much here. Instead, the Chudnow Museum focuses on this 20-year peaceful period in our country, where Americans finally started having disposable income and leisure time.
While there are certainly similarities between the Chudnow and Streets of Old Milwaukee at the Public Museum, Chudnow seems much more focused. The mansion is filled with real antiques from the time period (not simply tchotchkes) displayed in their natural environments. We wandered through a soda counter, kitchen, general store, and pharmacy (where you can see an advertisement for a heroin prescription) on the first floor. The second floor features a working theater, a doctor's office, a smoke shop, a barber shop, and a secret surprise room hidden by the barbershop walls. It's truly amazing to immerse yourself in real products and goods from this time period in Milwaukee.
We were also impressed with the museum staff, who guided us through the entire museum imparting interesting knowledge and answering questions. You can tell they're invested in this museum, and that they've done their research.
While we were going through, a group was setting up for a social event. The entire museum is for rent for parties, as well as for children's group tours. There's a small gift-shop on your way out, but it's not mandatory to walk through like so many attractions nowadays. I encourage it anyway, as we picked up a cool Milwaukee history board-game for only $10!
The pictures don't do it justice – you'll have to see it in person to immerse yourself in this well-kept collection of Milwaukee's yesteryear.

More Fruita - Kessel Run Video
(updated: Sep 25, 2007)
This is the last of the CO trip videos. Next step is to put it all on a DVD. This trail is easy to access from the parking lot. All you have to do is park in the lower lot and ride up the road for a couple of miles. Then have a blast on the way back down. It's a nice smooth, flowy trail.
(You'll need the latest Quicktime player, version 7. Get it here )
Fruita Video: Kessel Run (3m 55s):
Music: Ministry, Jesus Built My Hotrod
To download instead, right click here. Then you can use the player of your choice (including iTunes) as long as it supports H.264.

I though the meeting went well. Although, I got the feeling that even though these plans sound great, the implementation and public support might not be as high as the presenter portrayed. The guy in front of me made the smartest comment of the entire night by saying something to the effect of "the best thing we can do is educated people about cycling." Amen, sir, amen. Fighting developers is like pulling teeth, they have so much pull and influence, not to mention they've been at the game a lot longer than a bunch of concerned citizens going up against an opponent that already knows the ins and outs. We'll see how it goes. Let me know if there are any more meetings/events.

NCDOT owns the roads so bond money may not be able to be used to put in bike lanes. The funds have to come from the state budget. I don't know how that works but it's a screwy arrangement. I am also concerned about the zoning. If the laws are not amended, then a developer complying with the law has no obligation to do anything beyond it. It's up to the people to raise the money and change the system. I'll be commenting more later.

Personally, I don't mind riding on busy roads without a nice bike lane, because I enjoy pissing off the Ford Mastodon driving a-holes that beep or yell out the window. However, when it comes to things like riding to the grocery store or sheer ease of travel on bike, it's a problem. I know there are many who would ride if they felt safe, and that's a major issue. Nothing will be changed unless the citizens want it. The thing that scared me tonight at the meeting was that cycling seemed to be viewed as only a recreation activity. One guy made a comment about immigrants walking on the sides of roads but there was no mention of people using it as actual transportation. Until we can break that barrier and view cycling as a form of transportation, we'll get virtually no where. The sad thing is there's nothing more American. You save money, you're independent and not contributing to the profits of nations that "disagree" with our political policies. Instead it turns into a conversation about how Al Gore wastes electricity so it doesn't matter if we're responsible for our own actions. I'm glad they're having the discussion and trying to plan that in Leland. It's a great step forward. However, until people are willing to view bicycles on the same level as automobiles it'll be a losing battle. That said, it shouldn't steer us away from trying to change things.

Course Description
World History classes study the development of the modern democratic world from the 18th century to the present. In addition to meeting the California State Content Standards for Modern World History, SLz's World History classes develop the reading, writing and critical thinking skills being stressed in the Common Core Standards. Students will examine primary and secondary sources, including films, photographs, political cartoons, speeches, newspaper articles to answer questions that continue to generate debate today:
- Who should have power? What is the ideal form of government?
- How should wealth be distributed? Who should profit from labor? Does technology improve our lives or diminish our humanity?
- How can a weak nation resist a stronger nation?
- Why is there war? How can we create a lasting peace?
- How do dictators gain and maintain control over the people of a nation?
- What is acceptable behavior during wartime? What conditions make it possible for people to commit atrocities?
- When should countries get involved in the internal affairs of other countries?
- How can countries come to peace with actions in the past?
Throughout the year, students are taught to think critically, justify their claims, use evidence to make arguments, and demonstrate their thought processes, all of which improve their reading and writing skills. In addition to traditional quizzes and tests, students create posters, presentations, guidebooks, reports and other projects to allow students of multiple learning styles to demonstrate their understanding of course content.
