Calvinist Confessions, 1
8 comments:
- Lewis said...
Thanks for his thought provoking post. The honesty is refreshing.
I think you ask a good question for Calvinists: 'How often does your theology leave you with Jesus?'
Surely there must be some serious questions asked of the system at this point!
- Shawn said...
I likewise tend toward a Pharisaic intellectualism when I dive down into the heady truths of Reformation theology. I think that's why John Piper's preaching has been so crucial for me. Every time I want to get bogged down in mulling over the facts and arguments, he drags me back to the center of joy and adoration of Jesus. Praise God!
- Nicodemus said...
Thanks Thabiti, I agree. Jesus full of grace and truth. That's why I love reading the stories of Jesus life such as the raising of Lazarus from the dead and seeing His humanity as well as His divinity and His love for that family and also seeking His face in prayer so that His reality is sustained in my heart and life.

Lately, I've been listening to cassette tapes of sermons I preached some 10-17 years ago, and it seems to me I've lost some of that enthusiasm & fire of those earlier years. I think part of the problem is traceable to what you've written. I think another part of the problem is I'm not praying as much & as fervently as I was then.
I'm often reminded of verses from that hymn by William Cowper:
Where is the blessedness I knew
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul's refreshing view
Of Jesus and His word?
Cowper goes on to pray,
Return, O holy Dove, return
Sweet messenger of rest;
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.
He pleads further:
The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er the idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.
- BoldLion said...
Wow! Thank you for writing this to us, Calvinist (or to those who are leading to Calvinist). We all need to read this.
We all need to have a correct Biblical view to live our life for Christ and not to have the label.
Hungry to eat His Word,
'Guerite ~ BoldLion
- Greg Gibson said...
Amen! We need to beware of the error of "sanctification by theology alone."
I suspect that my fellow Calvinists "hyper-intellectualism" started with the Reformers, whom the Anabaptists nicknamed "the scholars."
I'll never forget after I had become "Reformed" during college, hearing a chapel message on the filling of the Holy Spirit. All of a sudden, I realized that although I knew the Bible better than most of my fellow students, I was not filled with God's Spirit. Have you ever noticed how the Lord often providentially leads Spirit-filled Arminians and Pentecostals more than non-Spirit-filled Calvinists to evangelistic opportunities?
Even Biblical knowledge can puff up. All of our diligent study should lead us to humble ourselves before Christ, revere Him, trust Him, love Him, and obey Him.
- Unbreakable Joy said...
Thank you brother for your honest and convicting reflection.
How true it is that "we settle for knowing more rather than knowing Jesus."
May He grant that we would come to know Him more.
- Anonymous said...
What a word!
This is not, however a problem exclusive to our Calviinist camp. You find this spirit everywhere one loses sight of the realities of the gospel. John 17:3
And that is the Godhead. And yes and experience of grace, which causes our theology to be vital and attractive , only as it assist us in exalting Christ both in doctrine and life, is what we need!
Let the intelectuals carp. And let us continue to pursue the Person and to the picture. The reality and not the shadow. The Spirit and not merely the letter.
And then our Calvinism will be real also.
By Grace alone,

LASIK & Laser Eye Surgery: A Complete Consumer Guide
Refractive surgery is the term used to describe surgical procedures that correct common vision problems (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia) to reduce your dependence on prescription eyeglasses and/or contact lenses.
Currently, a laser procedure called LASIK (LAY-sik) is the most popular refractive surgery performed in the United States. But there are other types of refractive surgery — including other laser procedures and intraocular lens procedures — that might be an even better choice for you, depending on your needs.
The articles below will help you learn more about your surgical options so you can better discuss them with your eye doctor if you are interested in elective vision correction surgery.

About LASIK
LASIK is a surgical procedure that uses a laser to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and/or astigmatism. In LASIK, a thin flap in the cornea is created using either a microkeratome blade or a femtosecond laser. The surgeon folds back the flap, then removes some corneal tissue underneath using an excimer laser. The flap is then laid back in place, covering the area where the corneal tissue was removed.
With nearsighted people, the goal of LASIK is to flatten the too-steep cornea; with farsighted people, a steeper cornea is desired. LASIK can also correct astigmatism by smoothing an irregular cornea into a more normal shape.
If you are considering LASIK eye surgery, your first step is to choose a good LASIK surgeon who can evaluate whether LASIK is right for you. Your LASIK surgeon will examine your eyes to determine their health, what kind of vision correction you need, and how much laser ablation (corneal tissue removal) is required. The doctor will also ask about any health conditions that may disqualify you altogether for LASIK surgery.
If you are not a candidate for LASIK, you may qualify for another laser eye surgery such as PRK (similar to LASIK but without the flap), LASEK, or epi-LASIK. There are also non-laser vision correction procedures. Your prescription and eye structure will be considered to help determine which procedure is best for you.
LASIK is an outpatient procedure, so you don't have to stay at the surgery center overnight. The LASIK surgeon uses a computer to adjust the laser for your particular prescription. You will be asked to look at a target light for a short time while the laser sends pulses of light to painlessly reshape your cornea. The actual LASIK surgery usually takes less than five minutes.

The patient survey scores show more hospitals are meeting higher patient-care standards.
Discovery Health patient survey scores (PaSS) for 2015 were released this week. Discovery Health collected data on South African hospitals from structured surveys conducted among adult members of medical schemes Discovery Health administers following their discharge from hospital. The hospital at the top of the list of 20 South African hospitals giving members the best experience in their quality of care is Gateway Private Hospital in Kwazulu-Natal. The Western Cape has a total of eight hospitals included in this list.
"Measuring quality of care is standard practice in many healthcare systems the world over. Our measurement and feedback on quality of care, combined with strategies that healthcare providers apply, have the potential to make a significant difference to healthcare delivery. We've already started seeing this in the latest survey results. There is greater awareness from healthcare providers regarding quality of care, and an additional 20 hospitals meet the criteria and were ranked highly by members of medical schemes, which is very encouraging," says Head of Quality Care at Discovery Health Dr Roshini Moodley Naidoo
There has been a vast increase in the responses Discovery Health received around quality of care at hospitals through PaSS since 2013. Across all hospitals there have been gradual improvements in survey scores for nursing care and communication, and sharing medical information. Although scores for the hospital environment have not shown any significant change since 2010, hospitals are being rated up to 8% better than three years ago.
"Discovery Health congratulates hospitals that have demonstrated excellent scores, and those that have implemented initiatives to improve patient experience. Patient experience is an important component of care and has the potential to give our healthcare system a more patient-centred focus. Such healthcare systems aim to understand the needs of patients, to involve them in decisions about their care, and to respond quickly to their needs. Healthcare systems that place a high value on quality of care have shown to save costs and have improved health outcomes for patients," says Moodley Naidoo.
But, she says, "There are many factors contributing to the delivery of care and a lower patient experience score does not necessarily mean hospitals do not deliver high-quality care." It simply shows areas for improvement in the overall patient experience, which the hospital may already be addressing.
The Western Cape has the most hospitals included in the list. KwaZulu-Natal has four hospitals among the top 20 and Gauteng has five. In Gauteng, Cormed Clinic ranks the highest on patient experience around the quality of care. At number eight on the list is Busamed Paardevlei Private Hospital (Rf) (Pty) Ltd and the North West Province has two hospitals, Sunningdale Hospital and Wilmed Park Private Hospital, included among the top 20 hospitals.
Hospitals are objectively measured on in-hospital healthcare service elements based on patients' experience. Some of these elements include, responsiveness of hospital staff, how well pain was controlled, and the adequacy of discharge information during the hospital stay. To ensure any comparison of patient experience between hospitals is as fair as possible, the analysis of data considers factors that hospitals cannot reasonably control – such as the nature of illness and demographic factors such as age and gender.

Tips & Tricks
Changing the face image for people in Photos
Although the facial recognition features in the iOS Photos app are pretty great, you may not always like the picture it chooses as the "key" photo for a given person. Fortunately, there's a way to select a different photo, but it's until recently it's been so well hidden in the Photos app that most people probably don't even know it's there.
To select a new key photo for a person, you must begin by going to the "People" album in the iOS Photos app and selecting the person whose photo you want to change the image for. At the bottom of that person's photos, tapping "Show Faces" will zoom in on the person's face in each photo. To set a new key photo, tap the "Select" button in the top right corner, find the photo you want to use and tap on it to select it, and then tap the sharing button. Scrolling to the right in the bottom row of icons should reveal as button to "Make Key Photo" that you can tap on to set the selected photo as the key photo.
Note that the "Make Key Photo" option will not appear if more than one image is selected. Further, until very recent iOS versions, it was necessary to be in "Show Faces" mode before selecting the photo in order for the option to appear, but now it will work in either mode as long as only a single photo is selected.
Viewing and Managing all of your Apple devices in iOS 10.3
A new section added at the top of the Settings app in iOS 10.3 adds a handy single place for viewing a lot of the information associated with your Apple ID, including a single point of access for the iCloud, iTunes & App Store, and Family Sharing sections that were previously scattered about elsewhere. However, Apple has also added a few new features in this section to provide you with access to information that you could only find by logging into the iCloud or Apple ID web sites before.
Among this is a new section that displays all of the devices associated with your Apple ID, including not only your iOS devices, but also your Macs and any Apple Watch or Apple TV devices that you've signed into. This goes beyond just a list, however — tapping on any of these devices will bring you to a screen showing you more details. This includes a shortcut for Find My iPhone/iPad/Mac/Watch and whether it's enabled or not and status of iCloud backups for iOS devices, followed by model, OS version, and serial number information. Devices that support Apple Pay will also show a list of the cards that have been added to each device, along with the ability to remove all of your cards from that device. It's a handy way to keep track of all of your iOS devices, especially if you need to quickly find the serial number of a Mac or iPad that you don't have with you, or want to remove your payment information when you've misplaced a device.
Capturing iOS and tvOS screenshots using your Mac
By now it's pretty common knowledge that you can grab a screenshot from any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch simply by pressing the home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously, saving a PNG image of whatever is on the current screen to your on-device photo library. While this works well enough in most cases, sometimes the necessary finger gymnastic can make it a bit tricky to capture more complicated screenshots, such as when playing a game or trying to capture a "peek" screen from a 3D Touch gesture.
Sharing HomeKit Access
Once you've started to deploy more than a couple of HomeKit accessories in your home, you'll likely reach a point where you'll want to ensure that your other family members can also access and control them. Fortunately, Apple has considered this in the design of HomeKit, and in fact has even improved these features with iOS 10 and tvOS 10.
To add a user to your HomeKit home from your iPhone, simply open up the "Home" app and tap the arrow in the top-left corner. On this screen you'll see the name of your home, a listing of any of your Home Hubs, and an "Invite…" button. Tapping this allows you to invite anybody with an Apple ID to share control of your home, and if you're using iCloud Family Sharing, the app will even helpfully offer up your list of family members to get you started. Note that if you're managing more than one Home, each one gets its own sharing list, so you can let the whole family control the lights in your main home, while perhaps only allowing your spouse or partner access to the cottage.
Correcting your iPhone's Pronunciation
We wrote a few years ago about how to help Siri recognize difficult names that you speak to your iPhone, but if you regularly use the voice features to have your iPhone read text to you, you may get annoyed with the constant mispronunciation of certain words — especially proper names, which are almost always tricky. Fortunately, there's actually a way you can teach the correct pronunciation of certain words to your iPhone (or other iOS device).
Converting your child's Apple ID into a Children's Account
When Apple introduced Family Sharing in iOS 8, we mostly welcomed it as a great solution for those families trying to figure out the best way to share iTunes and App Store purchases among multiple family members. The new feature is especially useful for families with children, as each can have their own iCloud, iTunes, and App Store accounts, with their own passwords and preferences and purchasing capabilities that must be approved by the parent. However, one thing we ran into very early on with the new Family Sharing feature was that Apple didn't appear to provide any means to convert an existing account into a child account. Let's face it, until Family Sharing came along with its support for Children's Accounts, the only way to create an Apple ID for a child under the age of 13 was to fudge the child's birthday, and there are undoubtedly more than a few folks who took that approach just to make sure that their children could have their own parentally-supervised Apple IDs.
Of course, it seems that Apple has been tacitly aware of this all along as well, and although there are no obvious support articles or other instructions to walk you through the process, Apple has provided a loophole by which you can "come clean" and convert your children's "teenage" Apple IDs into proper "Children's Accounts" without having to set up entirely new Apple IDs for them. To start the process, first ensure that your child's Apple IDs has been added to Family Sharing, and then log in to your child's Apple ID on the web at appleid.apple.com and edit their account information to enter their correct birthday. As soon as you enter a birthday that places them under 13 years of age, you'll get a prompt alerting you that parental consent is required, that this process will convert the account into a "children's account" and an e-mail request will be sent to the family organizer.
Keep in mind that as the warning prompt suggests, this process is irreversible, and the account will be permanently converted to a children's account until the child reaches 13, based on the new date of birth that you've entered. It's also important to mention here that once you've completed this process, you won't be able to change the date of birth without contacting Apple support, so double-check to make sure you've entered it correctly before continuing. Clicking "Continue" will send an email to the family organizer (which should be you in this scenario), although until it's been approved, the request can still be cancelled.
An e-mail should appear in your inbox shortly asking for your approval to update your child's birthdate and change their account into a children's account.
Clicking the "Approve Request" button will take you to the Apple ID sign-in page in your web browser of choice, and once you've signed in you'll be shown the birthday change (where you'll have another chance to correct it if needed) and a Parent Privacy Disclosure and will need to confirm the change by entering the security code from whichever credit card is assigned to the primary payment method for your family; the payment verification method is more or less the same procedure required to set up a children's account from scratch, as detailed in Apple's knowledgeable article on Family Sharing and Apple ID for your child.
Once you've approved the request, your child's date of birth will be updated and their Apple ID will be irrevocably converted to a children's account and associated with your family. Children's accounts must be associated with a family until they're 13 years of age, however Apple has provided a way to transfer children's accounts between families should you ever need to do so.
Filtering Explicit Language in Siri
If you've got kids at home with their own iPad or iPod touch, it won't be long before they figure out that they can have a chat with Siri, and unfortunately while Siri's voice recognition is pretty good, it can't always keep up with the developing language skills of a young child. So it's not surprising that sometimes Siri won't quite be able to accurately transcribe what they're trying to say, but sometimes Siri can get it embarrassingly wrong, throwing up words that you might not be ready to explain the meaning of to your kids.
Fortunately, there's an option tucked away inside the Restrictions settings found on every iOS device (and even the Apple TV) that can tell Siri to filter out any explicit language it hears. You can find it in the iOS Settings app, under General, Restrictions. By default, this option is switched on, meaning Siri allows for explicit language in queries (although she will still scold you for using it sometimes). Turning this option off won't prevent Siri from responding to explicit language queries, but it will censor any inappropriate words that it transcribes. A second option in this screen also allows you to prevent Siri from going out and searching the web — probably also a good idea if you want to prevent Siri from inadvertently bringing up inappropriate websites when it misunderstands a search request.
Finding Flagged or Unread Messages in all Mailboxes
While iOS 7's smart mailboxes and the new message filters in the iOS 10 Mail app are great for finding flagged and unread items in a single folder such as your inbox, they're less useful for those situations where you've archived a flagged message or filed it away in another folder. Fortunately, the iOS Mail app has a pretty robust search feature borrowed from its bigger brother on macOS, including the ability to search for message status in addition to message content.
Scrolling up to the top of your message list in any mailbox reveals the search field, and if you tap on this you'll immediately see predefined "Suggested Searches" for unread messages, flagged messages, messages from VIPs, and messages with attachments. Tapping on any one of these immediately initiates a search for messages matching that specific criterion, and if "All Mailboxes" is selected at the top of the screen, the search will go through not only the currently selected folder, but every folder in that particular account to ferret out those messages. You can even combine these searches by typing in the other terms you want to use — for example, tap on "Flagged Messages" to start a search for all flagged messages, and then type in "Attachments" and tap on "Messages with Attachments" at the bottom of the "Suggested Searches" list and your results will be filtered to include only those messages that are flagged and have one or more attachments.
Renaming Albums in the iOS 10 Photos app
Creating Photo Albums and Shared Albums in the iOS 10 Photos app is relatively straight forward, but you may not have realized that you can also rename these albums directly on your iPhone or iPad, without having to take a trip over to the macOS Photos app or the iCloud.com web site.
It's not obvious that you can do this as it's hidden away behind a tap gesture that's not entirely intuitive — while you probably already know that you can rearrange and delete albums from the main Albums and iCloud Photo Sharing views by tapping the "Edit" button in the top-right corner, once you've engaged editing mode, tapping on any of your album names will bring up the keyboard to allow you to edit the name of that album as well. The cursor will automatically be placed at the end of the name, and you can make any changes and simply tap the "Done" button on the keyboard to save them and return to the standard editing view.
Changing iPhone volume using Siri
Apple designed its new AirPods to be pretty easy to set up and use, but one thing that's clearly missing is the ability to change the volume using hardware controls without reaching for your iPhone. Fortunately, if you regularly use AirPods without an iPhone or Apple Watch within reach, you might find it handy to know that you can actually change your iPhone's volume using Siri voice commands.
Simply tap on the AirPods to activate Siri, and then issue an appropriate command like Increase the volume or Turn the sound down and Siri will respond appropriately, although Siri seems to increase and decrease the volume in larger increments than using the hardware buttons on the iPhone. You can also ask Siri what the current volume level is, which will be expressed as a percentage. You can also ask Siri to set the volume to a specific percentage, which might be more useful once you've experimented a bit and become familiar with your preferred listening levels.
Showing a Smart Folder in the iOS 10 Mail Widget
The addition of 3D Touch to the iPhone 6s has been a productivity boon for a lot of users, with information now more quickly accessible from the home screen and within key apps, and iOS 10 improved upon this by putting widgets directly behind key icons on the home screen, and expanding the menus. While most of these popup menus remain static, there are some minor things that can be customized in certain apps.
In the iOS 10 Mail app, for example, if you have a Smart Mailbox set up to appear in your mailbox list, this will automatically be displayed below the "Inbox" entry on the popup menu that appears when you 3D Touch on the Mail icon. While only one Smart Mailbox will appear on this menu, any one of them can be set to appear simply by placing it at the top of your mailbox list in the Mail app — iOS simply chooses the first enabled Smart Mailbox on the list and displays it on the popup menu.
Sadly, only the predefined Smart Mailboxes are supported here — even though you can add individual mailbox folders to the main list, they can't be made to appear on the 3D Touch menu. Still, if you find yourself regularly looking at just flagged messages, messages from your VIP contacts, or messages with attachments in your inbox, it's a useful shortcut.
Filtering your Message List in the iOS 10 Mail app
If you use the built in Mail app on your iPhone or iPad and deal with sifting through a lot of email messages, you'll likely appreciate a small feature that Apple added in iOS 10, which gives you the ability to quickly and easily filter your message listing. A button in the bottom-left corner of the Mail app will toggle on a filtered view that provides quick filtering of messages in the current mailbox. By default, the filter will show you only flagged messages. However, if you tap on the "Filtered by" link that appears in the bottom status bar when the filter is enabled, you can refine the filter with other criteria, including unread messages, messages addressed To or CC'ed directly to your email address (as opposed to those from mailing lists), or only messages with attachments or messages from contacts on your VIP list. Multiple criteria can be combined here as well, so you could include both unread and flagged messages, but only those which include attachments.
Managing iMessage Apps in iOS 10
- February 7, 2017
- Apps + Games, iPad, iPhone, iPod,
The ability to use iMessage Apps was one of the cooler new features added to iOS 10, but with so many developers adding their own little iMessage apps to their main apps, you may find your Messages app drawer quickly becoming inundated with new icons. Fortunately, it's not difficult to remove or reorganize your iMessage Apps, or prevent new ones from automatically showing up when one of your existing iOS apps gains iMessage App support in an update.
Removing and reorganizing iMessage Apps is done in much the same way as normal apps on your home screen — just bring up the app drawer in iMessage by tapping on the app symbol to the left of the text entry field, and then tap-and-hold on any one of the apps until they all start jiggling. From there, you can drag them around to reorganize them, even between pages, or tap the "X" in the top right corner to remove the app entirely. Removing a dedicated iMessage App like a sticker pack from here will remove it entirely from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch; removing the iMessage App version of a standalone app, on the other hand, will only hide the iMessage App extension, leaving the main app untouched.
Customizing the Library View in the iOS 10 Music app
- February 2, 2017
- Apple Music, iPad, iPhone, iPod,
Apple made some arguably nice changes to its core Music app in iOS 10, departing from the Apple Music centric version that debuted with iOS 8.4 and putting the user's own music library back front and center, where it belongs. One of the features that came back along with this, albeit in a slightly different form, was the ability to customize the main Library view to choose which organizational categories you want to see there.
Checking Activation Lock Status before purchasing an iOS Device
Apple's Activation Lock feature, introduced three years ago with iOS 7, is a great security feature that's been credited with a decline in theft rates. Like any good security system, however, it can be a bit of a double-edged sword; Apple has made Activation Lock so secure that it can be a problem for users who are trying to purchase a used iPhone (or other iOS device) legitimately — if the original owner of the device forgets to turn off the Activation Lock, or doesn't realize that they need to, the buyer can basically end up with a brick.
Fortunately, Apple has addressed this by creating a Check Activation Lock Status web portal that anybody can use to determine if Activation Lock is enabled on a specific iPhone, iPad, or iPod. To use the service, you simply need to enter the serial number or International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number of the device in question, which any legitimate seller should have no problem providing you with. After entering the serial number or IMEI (and the captcha code to prove you're a human), the site will return a simple response showing whether Activation Lock is on or off, followed by an explanation of what this means, and what actions should be taken to deactivate Activation Lock if necessary.
Sorting Playlists, Songs, and Albums in the Music app
- January 24, 2017
- Apple Music, iPad, iPhone, iPod,
The Music app got another somewhat quiet update in iOS 10.2, allowing you to now choose a sorted order for the playlist, song, album, and video listings in your own music library. A new "Sort" button appears in the top right corner when viewing these three categories. Playlists can be sorted by Playlist Type, Title, or Recently Added, while Song, Album, and Video views offer sorting by Title or Artist.
Note that sorting by Playlist Type is the standard order that was used in prior iOS versions, placing Genius playlists at the top of the listing, with all other playlists still mixed below alphabetically — despite the name, it still doesn't distinguish between Apple Music and user-created playlists, for whatever reason. The sort button is understandably not available in other views such as Artists, Compilations, Composers, and Genres.
Enabling Star Ratings in the iOS 10.2 Music app
- January 19, 2017
- Apple Music, iPad, iPhone, iPod,
One of the more controversial changes in Apple's iOS 10 Music app was the elimination of the longstanding star-based rating system for music tracks. It's unclear whether this was just inadvertently left out in the redesign or whether Apple felt that the new love/dislike system was enough — but clearly somebody at Apple got the message, as the ability to use star ratings has quietly returned in iOS 10.2.
It's still hidden by default, but if you're an iTunes power user who has gotten used to being able to rate your tracks on a sliding scale — a feature that's been available in iTunes and on the iPod since its very inception — you'll be happy to know that a quick trip into the Music section of your Settings app provides an option to toggle the feature back on.
While Apple has brought the star rating feature back, it's moved it into the track menu, rather than hiding it behind the artwork as it was in iOS 9. Tapping and holding on a track, or tapping the ellipsis button in the bottom right corner of the "Now Playing" screen will bring up the menu, and if you've enabled star ratings in your settings, a "Rate Song…" option should now appear there. Ratings should also once again sync back to your iTunes library via direct sync, Apple Music, or iTunes Match, however this doesn't replace the love/dislike system — if you're an Apple Music user, star ratings won't affect the recommendations you see in the "For You" section.
Using Double Tap to Control Play/Pause on AirPods
- December 22, 2016
- Accessories, Apple Music, iPad, iPhone, iPod,
Apple's wireless AirPods automatically pause music playback when one or both of the buds are removed from your ears during use. But if you'd prefer to control play/pause with touch controls without having to remove AirPods from your ears, Apple has given users a way to do so. While your AirPods are connected, go to Settings > Bluetooth on your iOS device and touch the "i" to access the information screen for your AirPods. On that screen, you'll be able to change a number of settings, including the Double-Tap controls. AirPods are set by default to control Siri with a firm double tap — here, you can switch the setting to Play/Pause instead.
In switching this setting, users are giving up immediate double tap access to Siri. However, that tradeoff is somewhat mitigated if you're using an iPhone 6s or later, or a 9.7" iPad Pro. Those devices allow anytime use of "Hey Siri," which means it can still be easy and convenient to access Siri hands-free, as long as you've allowed use of "Hey Siri" in Settings — and as long as you're close enough to your iPhone. Some users of the newest Apple devices may find this option makes more sense.
Keeping the Christmas Tree Lights On with HomeKit
If you've got more than a couple of lights tied into your HomeKit system, you've probably gotten accustomed to using Siri commands like "Turn off the lights" when you're leaving home, going to bed, or just otherwise want to de-illuminate your home. Of course, in that case, this time of year you're probably going to be tempted to plug your Christmas tree or other holiday lights into a HomeKit-compatible plug so that you can control them using Siri and HomeKit automation. It's a great idea, but suddenly you might find yourself avoiding Siri commands to turn all of your lights off at home, or in a given room if you still want to leave the Christmas lights on.
Showing Holiday Memories in iOS 10 Photos
If you've got a few years of photos available on your iPhone, the new Memories feature in the iOS 10 Photos app can be a great way to go back and relive significant events from past years. Photos will go back and automatically scan through your photo collection for groupings of photos by people and places and put them in collections, and Apple has even put the intelligence in place to figure out holidays — based on your home country — and organize your Memories accordingly by paying closer attention to photos around those times of year, and putting appropriate titles on them.
If you're not seeing holiday memories and you think you should, check the setting for Holiday Events under Photos & Camera in the iOS Settings app. Also be sure that your regional setting, found under Settings, General, Language & Region is set to the correct country — which holidays are selected are based on this setting.

Fox's Jon Scott: Defending "Traditional Marriage" Is Part Of The Fight Against Gun Violence
Blog ››› ››› BRIAN POWELL
Fox News host Jon Scott looped the opposition to marriage equality into the fight against gun violence, claiming that conservatives are lined up in front of the Supreme Court "trying to defend traditional marriage" in part because gun violence is exacerbated by the institution's decline.
On the March 27 edition of Happening Now, Scott hosted Fox News contributor Juan Williams to discuss the nexus between race, gun violence, and the family unit. Scott then tied the discussion to the debate over the Defense Of Marriage Act, saying that a rise in gun and gang violence and drug use was "why so many hundreds of conservatives are lined up outside the Supreme Court right now trying to defend traditional marriage, because they say marriage is an important building block to the society."
According to the Los Angeles Times, the vast majority of protestors outside of the Supreme Court were supporters of marriage equality. The Times described the conservative DOMA protestors Scott cited, noting they "waved signs reading 'Kids do best with a mom and dad' and 'Appeal to Heaven'."
But science contradicts Scott's implication that children raised in same-sex parent households are prone to violence or drug addiction. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) published a 25-year study in 2004 that concluded there is no link between parents' sexual orientation and the emotional health of their children, and the American Psychological Association came to a similar conclusion in a 2004 compilation of research concerning same-sex parenting:
Overall, results of research suggest that the development, adjustment, and well-being of children with lesbian and gay parents do not differ markedly from that of children with heterosexual parents.

Our Fitness Blog
As Winston once said…"Never, Never, Never, Never, Never Quit!"
When it comes to fitness, probably the top reason people don't reach those goals they have set is the ugly word, QUIT!
Personally I have a big issue with people quitting!
When I speak of quitting I'm talking about quitting something that is known to be good for you mentally, physically, and spiritually, yet when some discomfort or inconvenience occurs, QUITTING becomes an option. Now quitting a bad habit is great, obviously people looking to improve the quality of their life need to quit certain things, quit smoking, quit eating junk, quit sitting on the couch 9 hours a day, etc.
Getting into shape and becoming a healthy individual starts with the decision then execution. Execution, meaning follow through, action, not killing someone, although, I know sometimes when your pouring sweat and your trainers screaming at you, you feel like executing him. : )
So once you've made that decision that you're ready to make that change now it's time to get busy. Consistent action on a regular basis will ensure you steadily gain momentum. Your 9R trainer will help guide you with the right exercises, the 9R nutrition plan will help give you the right things to eat.
I don't even use that word (QUIT) in my vocabulary. In fact it's paining me "quit", quite a bit to type it so many times. The most important character trait in a person of success, whether fitness, business, or life is PERSEVERANCE!
Yes sometimes it's gonna hurt!
Sometimes it's not going to be convenient!
BUT you can't give up. Quitting is something anyone can do, but it takes a special person not to. What I've found in all my training and life as well is people quit for three reasons, usually:
1-They're scared of getting injured, either emotionally or physically.
This is tough and I understand. With any exercise regime there is an inherent amount of risk of injury and yes it may suck to not be able to do as many pushups as the person on the next station, but remember this. As one of my trainers said, "When you get older Kev, you're either going to see an orthopedic doctor or a cardiologist. The chances of an orthopedic doctor killing you is a whole lot less than a heart doctor."
2-They're scared they can't do it!
This comes from knowing that other people have attempting the task and failed. In this case losing 20 pounds or getting into shape. Yes there are people out there who didn't make it but God made us all unique and different. Just because they failed doesn't mean you have to. You're your own BOSS!
3-They've seen other people QUIT and nothing bad happened to them.
This is understandable in our society today. People start and stop things all the time in our world. The amount of overall STICKABILITY has drastically reduced in the last 40 years. Our society sees quitting not for what it is (crappy) but maybe a change in direction. QUITTING has become a norm not the exception!
What does this mean to you as a LEADER, FIT ADULT, ENTRPRENEUR, 9 Round owner or patron???
You can reach your fitness goals! I believe in you! Take it from me…a skinny, introverted kid…who didn't quit and went on to be a 2 TIME World Champion Kickboxer!
Don't give up and push it harder that last 30 seconds!

Dr. Arnold Klein -- Michael Jackson's long-time best friend and physician -- tells TMZ he did not betray Michael Jackson by claiming to TMZ that MJ had an affair with Klein's office manager ... and he's freaked out that he's getting "a lot of horrible death threats."
Klein and office manager Jason Pfeiffer were featured on "Extra" a few days ago -- during the interview Pfeiffer claimed to have had a romantic relationship with MJ.
Klein called in during TMZ Live last Friday, and said Michael was gay and Jason was "the love of his life."
On Saturday, Klein told TMZ he does not believe he betrayed Jackson because Jackson never tried to hide his sexuality. We called Klein out on his statement, because it seems to us MJ went to extreme lengths to keep his sexuality a secret.
Klein told us Saturday, "Was he gay? Yes." He then went on to say his declaration is meant to shoot down rumors that Jackson was a pedophile. And, Klein says, as far as he knows, Jason's alleged two-month relationship is the only gay relationship Jackson ever had.
Pfeiffer says, "Michael was not ashamed of his sexuality."
Klein and Pfeiffer say they have received numerous "horrible death threats" since their statements became widely public this week. They have both been in touch with the FBI and now say they have bodyguards.

Some nice ink for a deserving writer
It's so nice to see hardworking mid-listers who do their job and do it well eventually get their due. Lansdale in my opinion is one of the great storytellers of our generation. By that I mean he writes fun, captivating tales that are almost impossible to put down. Though often violent and visceral, his writing also contains that rare quality that only a few authors are able to pull off: Humor.
Lansdale has written many books since his debut novel in 1980 and also seems to crop up regularly in anthologies. I've recently read two of his short fiction pieces in the George R.R. Martin/Gardner Dozois anthology Warriors and the John Skipp-edited Zombies: Encounters with the Hungry Dead. Both were among the standouts in these respective collections (if I see an anthology with Lansdale's name on it, I will buy it. I can't think of a handful of current writers for which I would say the same). He also wrote the foreward to Mark Finn's biography of Robert E. Howard, Blood and Thunder.
If you ever want to explore his writing, I personally recommend starting with Mucho Mojo or The Bottoms, which are probably my favorite two works of his.
I did not know until I read the New York Times piece that Lansdale was recently honored with a Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Horror Writers Association. It's certainly well-deserved. Lansdale speculates in the article about why he is enjoying a sudden run of recent popularity: "People who grew up on my books are now able to get the point across to others that they're worth reading," he said.
Here's one other person who feels the same way. I personally think HBO should scoop up the rights to his Hap and Leonard series. They would make for some great viewing.

Hap and Leonard are a blast. Read Mucho Mojo first but an only then went back and read the debut Savage Season. I ran through the whole series again last year and was happy how satisfying they remained. So many amazing stories, glad the NYT realized that.

Joe's also a fun person to hang out with at a convention and just listen to. He's very easy-going and personable. And The Bottoms is one of my favorite of his novels.

I've read several of his short stories, but the one I remember best is _Bubba Ho-tep, a mummie tale. It features JFK and Elvis Presley who are living in a retirement home. They discover that a mummy is killing people, so they decide to find and kill it.
It was turned into a film starring Bruce Campbell as Elvis and Ossie Davis as JFK.

Wasp, yes, I'm looking to reading the last few entries in the series (I haven't gotten around to Vanilla Ride yet, nor his latest novella).
Keith, have you hung out with Joe before? That must have been something.
Fred, I haven't actually read the story but I have seen the film. Very enjoyable (as is anything with Bruce Campbell in it).

San Fernando>> Luis and Adriana Gonzalez of Sylmar have witnessed the devastating effects of diabetes first hand and are doing all they can to keep it away from them and their four children.
"My mother died of diabetes and (Luis') mother has it," said housewife Adriana Gonzalez, 41, following a free Spanish-language class Monday at a "diabetes teaching kitchen" at the San Fernando Community Health Center.
Luis Gonzalez, who had just learned with his wife to make a healthy Greek salad and a chicken and bean soup, said he's more concerned about diabetes than cancer since "we have more of a propensity for it" and "because of the habit of eating here — it's a lot of fast food."
Nearly 1 in 5 Latinos in the nation said diabetes is the biggest health problem facing their families, beating out cancer and high blood pressure, according to a new poll. The findings released Tuesday were part of a larger survey on Latinos in the country conducted by NPR, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Harvard School of Public Health.
A 2013 poll had found that nearly 40 percent of Latinos named cancer as the disease or health condition that poses the greatest threat to Americans, more than any other health problem. But in the NPR poll — which asked the question differently — 19 percent of those surveyed named diabetes as the disease or health condition that is the biggest problem for their own families, more than any other condition.
Cancer was mentioned by 5 percent of Latinos while high blood pressure/stroke was mentioned by 4 percent, according to the poll.
"We switched and asked them about you and your family; the surprise was it wasn't cancer," said Robert Blendon, professor of health policy and political analysis at the Harvard School of Public Health. "It shows in terms of living with the problems, diabetes is very prevalent in my family, in my community and that's what's really on our mind. It's what faces us in our own family. It's a high incidence of diabetes and it's really a burden for day-to-day living in Latino communities."
Diabetes was the top concern mentioned for each of the six Latino groups surveyed; Mexican (22 percent); Central American (15 percent); South American (21 percent); Cuban (12 percent); Puerto Rican (14 percent) and Dominican (12 percent), according to the NPR poll.
Blendon said the findings highlight how important the disease is to Latinos of all backgrounds.
"This is a central issue, which I don't think is discussed as widely as it will be after these findings," Blendon said.
While studies indicate that immigrants, in many cases, end up eating less healthy in the United States than they did in their native countries, the NPR poll found that many immigrants themselves don't see it that way.
Only about 21 percent of the immigrants polled see their diets as less healthy now than in the country they came from.
"Prior studies have shown that obesity rates among immigrants increase as their duration of residence in the U.S. increases," the NPR survey noted. "They suggest that this may be attributable in part to changes in lifestyle, including unhealthy diet."
National survey data between 2007 and 2009 for people ages 20 or older indicates that 7.1 percent of non-Hispanic whites, 8.4 percent of Asian Americans, 11.8 percent of Hispanics and 12.6 percent of non-Hispanic blacks had been diagnosed with diabetes, according to federal health data.
The diverse San Fernando Valley is particularly vulnerable to diabetes because several ethnic groups — not only Latinos but also Koreans and Armenians — have higher rates of incidence than the average population, said Dr. George Andros, medical director of the Amputation Prevention Center at Valley Presbyterian Hospital in Van Nuys.
"This is not a trend, it's a tsunami," Andros said. "Los Angeles is the epicenter of diabetes in the United States."
Andros said he opened his center, which takes an interdisciplinary approach, five years ago to deal with the No. 1 cause of a diabetic person being admitted to a hospital — an ulcer on the foot that can lead to amputation. The center sees hundreds of patients a week, many of them Latino.
Several preventive and education programs target the Latino population and are available throughout the Valley. For example, the San Fernando Community Health Center in San Fernando offers a free diabetes self-management education series in addition to its free diabetes kitchen classes. Classes are taught in English and Spanish. Valley Presbyterian offers free community health education classes about diabetes health/management in English and Spanish by appointment.
The Center for Healthier Communities at Northridge Hospital Medical Center also works with 34 schools in the Valley, many of them with predominantly Latino students, to educate parents and children on nutrition and chronic disease self-management, including diabetes. The center is working with 12 of those schools to provide a physical education program since many schools do not have a physical education teacher, said Martha Zuniga, the center's program manager.
"The students that we work with, they have a big population of overweight kids," Zuniga said. "Children that are overweight tend to develop diabetes."
