1 Kings 1 Amplified Bible (AMP)
David in Old Age
1 Now King David was [a]old, advanced in years; they covered him with clothes, but he could not get warm. 2 So his servants said to him, "Let a young virgin be found for my lord the king and let her attend him and become his nurse; let her lie against your chest, so that my lord the king may feel warm." 3 So they searched for a beautiful girl throughout the territory of Israel, and found Abishag the [b]Shunammite, and brought her to the king. 4 The girl was very beautiful; and she became the king's nurse and served him, but the king [c]was not intimate with her.
5 Then Adonijah the son of [David's wife] Haggith exalted himself, saying, "I [the eldest living son] will be king." So [following Absalom's example] he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. 6 His father [David] had [d]never rebuked him at any time by asking, "Why have you done this?" Adonijah was also a very handsome man, and he was born after Absalom. 7 He had conferred with [e]Joab the son of Zeruiah [David's half sister] and with Abiathar the priest; and they followed Adonijah and helped him. 8 But Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David's [f]most formidable warriors did not side with Adonijah [in his desire to become king].
9 Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fattened steers by the Stone of Zoheleth, which is beside [the well] En-rogel; and he invited all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants [to this feast]. 10 But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the most formidable warriors, or his brother Solomon.
Nathan and Bathsheba
11 Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, "Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king, and David our lord does not know about it? 12 Come now, please let me advise you and save your life and the life of your son Solomon. 13 Go at once to King David and say to him, 'Did you not, my lord, O king, swear to your maidservant, saying, "Solomon your son shall certainly be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne"? Why then has Adonijah become king?' 14 Behold, while you are still there speaking with the king, I will come in after you and confirm your words."
15 So Bathsheba went to the king in his bedroom. Now the king was very old and weak, and Abishag the Shunammite was attending the king. 16 So Bathsheba bowed down and paid respect to the king. And the king said, "[g]What do you wish?" 17 She said to him, "My lord, you swore by the Lord your God to your maidservant, saying, 'Solomon your son shall certainly be king after me and he shall sit on my throne.' 18 But now, behold, Adonijah is [acting as] king; and now [as things stand], my lord the king, you do not know it. 19 He has sacrificed oxen and fattened steers and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons and Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army [to a feast], but he did not invite your servant Solomon. 20 Now as for you, my lord the king, the eyes of all [h]Israel are on you [waiting for you] to tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him. 21 Otherwise it will come about when my lord the king lies down [in death] with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be considered [i]political enemies."
22 While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in. 23 The king was told, "Here is Nathan the prophet." And when he came before the king, he bowed before the king with his face to the ground. 24 Then Nathan said, "My lord the king, have you said, 'Adonijah shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne'? 25 Because he has gone down today [to En-Rogel] and has sacrificed oxen and fattened steers and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons, the commanders of the army and Abiathar the priest [to this feast]; and [right now] they are eating and drinking in his presence; and they say, 'Long live King Adonijah!' 26 But he has not invited me, your servant, nor Zadok the priest, nor Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon. 27 If this thing has been done by my lord the king, why have you not shown your servants who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?"
28 King David answered, "Call Bathsheba to me." And she came into the king's presence and stood before him. 29 Then the king swore an oath and said, "As the Lord lives, who has redeemed my soul from all distress, 30 even as I swore to you by the Lord, the God of Israel, saying, 'Solomon your son shall certainly be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place'; I will indeed do so this very day." 31 Bathsheba bowed down with her face to the ground, and laid herself face down before the king and said, "May my lord King David live forever!"
32 Then King David said, "Call Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada to me." And they came before the king. 33 The king told them, "Take the [j]servants of your lord with you and have Solomon my son [k]ride on my own mule, and bring him down to [the spring at] [l]Gihon [in the Kidron Valley]. 34 Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there as king over Israel. Then blow the trumpet and say, 'Long live King Solomon!' 35 Then you shall come up [to Jerusalem] after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne and he shall reign as king in my place; for I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah." 36 Benaiah [the overseer of the king's bodyguards], the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, "Amen! (So be it!) May the Lord, the God of my lord the king, say so too. 37 [m]Just as the Lord has been with my lord the king, so may He be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David!"
Solomon Anointed King
38 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites, and the Pelethites [the king's bodyguards] went down [from Jerusalem] and had Solomon ride on King David's mule, and brought him to [the spring at] Gihon. 39 Zadok the priest took a horn of [olive] oil from the [sacred] tent and anointed Solomon. They blew the trumpet, and all the people said, "Long live King Solomon!" 40 All the people went up after him, and they were playing on flutes and rejoicing with great joy, so that the earth shook and seemed to burst open with their [joyful] sound.
41 Now Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they finished eating. When Joab heard the trumpet sound, he said, "[n]Why is the city in such an uproar?" 42 While he was still speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest arrived. And Adonijah said, "Come in, for you are a valiant and trustworthy man and you bring good news." 43 But Jonathan replied to Adonijah, "No, on the contrary, our lord King David has made Solomon king! 44 The king has sent him with Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites, and the Pelethites; and they have had him ride on the king's [own royal] mule. 45 Also, Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon, and they have come up from there celebrating, so the city is in an uproar. This is the noise which you have heard. 46 Besides, Solomon has taken his seat on the throne of the kingdom. 47 Moreover, the king's servants came to bless (congratulate) our lord King David, saying, 'May [o]your God make the name of Solomon better (more famous) than your name and make his throne greater than your throne.' And the king bowed himself [before God] upon the bed. 48 The king has also said this: 'Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who has granted one [of my descendants] to sit on my throne today and allowed my eyes to see it.'"
49 Then all Adonijah's guests were terrified [of being branded as traitors] and stood up and left the feast, and each one went on his way. 50 And Adonijah feared Solomon, and he got up and went [to the tabernacle on Mt. Zion] and took hold of the horns of the altar [seeking asylum]. 51 Now Solomon was told, "Behold, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon, and behold, he has grasped the horns of the altar [seeking God's protection], saying, 'King Solomon must swear to me today that he will not kill his servant with the sword.'" 52 Solomon said, "If he [proves he] is a worthy man, not even one of his hairs shall fall to the ground; but if wickedness is found in him, he shall die." 53 So King Solomon sent [soldiers], and they brought Adonijah down from the altar [that was in front of the tabernacle]. And he came and bowed down to King Solomon, and Solomon said to him, "Go to your house."

"Photosynthesis is a very complicated process, and it seems impossible for it to emerge in an organelle inside the cell. Because it is impossible for al its stages to arise at once, and meaningless for them to do so one by one!" 1
The Darwinist George P. Stravropoulos makes this admission on the subject:
"Photosynthesis and all life processes, and even life itself, cannot yet be understood in terms of thermodynamics or any other exact science." 2

Fun stuff..
I mod my characters and stuff, plus I run sourcemod.. So if things look different to you, that's why. If they don't look different, you've never played the game, hehe.
Or you mod your game and host your own server exactly as I do. O_O
Anyway, I wanted to test a video game videorecording software thing..
The first video came out shit cause I didn't realize how poorly I rendered it before uploading it. Also, I decided it is easier and better for me not to edit it down to the little bits.. So parts 1 and 2 are completely different from what the rest will be.
btw it is really easy cause it is boomers only.. we were just goofing off. Pingas likes to melee the boomers, so..

Smokers who believe their habit relieves stress and depression are mistaken, according to new research.
Experts found that quitting smoking can be just as effective in tackling depression and anxiety as taking antidepressants.
Writing online in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), researchers said the effect of quitting was the same, if not bigger, than for the tablets.
The team, from the universities of Birmingham, Oxford, and King's College London, analysed 26 studies for their research.
They found quitters experienced a significant drop in anxiety, depression and stress.
The effect was the same among the general population of smokers as those with a diagnosed mental health problem.
"Both psychological quality of life and positive affect significantly increased between baseline and follow-up in quitters compared with continuing smokers," the researchers said.
They concluded: "Smoking cessation is associated with reduced depression, anxiety, and stress and improved positive mood and quality of life compared with continuing to smoke."
Participants in the studies were aged 44 on average, smoked about 20 cigarettes a day, and were followed up for an average of six months.
The researchers said healthcare professionals who have been reluctant to offer stop-smoking advice to people with mental health disorders, for fear of quitting making them worse, should be encouraged by the findings.
They acknowledged many smokers, including those without mental health problems, believe smoking helps them wind down.
They said: "Although most smokers report wanting to quit, many continue as they report that smoking provides them with mental health benefits.
"(Research shows) that regular smokers report smoking cigarettes to alleviate emotional problems and feelings of depression and anxiety, to stabilise mood, and for relaxation as well as relieving stress."
Gemma Taylor, the University of Birmingham researcher who led the study, said: "It is hugely encouraging to be able to demonstrate that smoking cessation leads to an improvement in mental health.
"Smoking rates in the general population have declined substantially over the last 40 years.
"However, the rates of smoking in people with mental health problems have barely changed.
"Part of this disparity is due to the myth that stopping smoking will worsen mental health. I believe this research debunks this myth and I hope that these findings motivate people with and without mental health problems to stop smoking."
Professor Paul Aveyard, from the University of Oxford, said: "Patients often say to me, 'Doctor, I'm too stressed to stop smoking now.' I hope doctors will now reassure those patients that there's a good chance that stopping smoking will make you less stressed.
"In fact, for people with chronic mental health problems, stopping smoking might be an effective treatment."
Sophie Corlett, director of external relations at mental health charity Mind, said: " Shockingly almost half of all cigarettes sold in England every year are smoked by people with mental health problems, so we welcome any research that raises awareness of the damaging impact that smoking can have on mental health as well as physical health.
"People with mental health problems tell us they often smoke to cope when they are feeling unwell, but they then struggle to take steps to stop smoking and find that services that help people to quit do not meet their needs.
"A high proportion of people with mental health problems die earlier due to smoking-related diseases, so it's vital that existing cessation programmes are adapted to take mental health into account."

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Dozens of College of Communications faculty members and researchers will make Washington, D.C., a blue-and-white hotbed during the annual Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication conference in early August.
Experts from the college had 38 papers accepted for presentation and will moderate or participate in 15 separate panels during the four-day conference, scheduled Aug. 8-11, in the nation's capital. Eleven of the papers were selected as the best in their division and three graduate students earned awards or AEJMC-sponsored grants for their work.
The productivity of College of Communications researchers -- with 45 different authors presenting work at the international conference -- ranks second to the University of Florida among all participating programs this year.
In the past decade, the College of Communications has perennially ranked among the top 10 programs with researchers presenting their work at the conference. Still, this year's productivity represents a 15 percent increase over the program's best previous year, when 39 researchers presented their work in 2010.
In addition, the College of Communications was selected as the 2013 recipient of the AEJMC Equity and Diversity Award, which is presented annually by the AEJMC to journalism and mass communication academic units that have attained measurable success with approaches to increasing racial, gender and ethnic equity and diversity.
Award-winning and top papers, listed with the researchers from the College of Communications associated with the work, are:
- "Broadcasting Sharia: American TV News' Illustration of Social Identity and the Emergence of a Threat," Jennifer Hoewe, top graduate student paper, Religion and Media Interest Group;
- "Can Extroversion and Gender Make a Difference? The Effects of HCI and CMC Interactivity," Yan Huang, Zhiyao Ye and Ariel Johnson, top student paper, Communication Technology Division;
- "Crisis Communication and the NBA Lockout: Exploring Reactions to Response Strategies in Sports Crisis," Melanie Formentin, top student paper, Public Relations Division;
- "Diversifying the Sports Department and Covering Women's Sports: A Survey of Sports Editors," Marie Hardin, Steve Bien-Aime and Dunja Antunovic;
- "A Female in a Man's World: New Media Discourses Around the First Female NFL Referee," Dunja Antunovic, top student paper, Commission on the Status of Women;
- "The Impact of Next Generation Television on Consumers and the First Amendment," Rob Frieden, third-place faculty paper, Law and Policy Division;
- "The Limits of Revolution in the Digital Age: The Cases of China and Cuba," Haiyan Jia and Cristina Mislan, top student paper, International Communication Division;
- "The Lure of Grandkids and the Desire for Online Privacy: Why Retirees Use (or Avoid) Facebook," Eun-Hwa Jung, Justin Walden, Ariel Johnson and S. Shyam Sundar, top faculty paper, Communication Technology Division;
- "Memory of An Out-Group: (Mis)identification of Middle Eastern-Looking Men in News Stories About Crime," Jennifer Hoewe and Tanner Cooke, first-place student paper, Minorities and Communications Division;
- "Net is Neutral, But the Media is Not Neutral: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Print News Coverage of Network Neutrality," Ju Young Lee, first-place student paper, Cultural and Critical Studies Division; and
- "Turning to the Wiki-Doctor? A Study of Wikipedia Health Information Use and Perceived Credibility by Internet Users and Doctors," Marcia DiStaso, AEJMC 2013 emerging scholar.
Individual graduate student honors were earned by Dunja Antunovic, recipient of the Mary Gardner Award for Graduate Student Research, and Jennifer Hoewe and Brett Sherrick, who secured travel grants for their work.
AEJMC is a nonprofit organization of more than 3,700 educators, students and practitioners from around the globe. The association's mission is to promote the highest possible standards for journalism and mass communication education, to cultivate the widest possible range of communication research, to encourage the implementation of a multicultural society in the classroom and curriculum, and to defend and maintain freedom of communication in an effort to achieve better professional practice and a better informed public.
Founded in 1912, by Willard Grosvenor Bleyer, the first president (1912-13) of the American Association of Teachers of Journalism, as it was then known, AEJMC is the oldest and largest alliance of journalism and mass communication educators and administrators at the college level.
AEJMC's annual conference features sessions on teaching, research and public service in the various components of journalism and mass communication -- from advertising and public relations to electronic and online journalism to media management and newspapers. Pre-convention workshops deal with teaching advertising, media ethics issues, incorporating diversity in the curriculum, teaching media management and teaching visual communication.

5-6 lb boneless pork shoulder roast*
2 large onions, sliced
2 apples, cored and cut into wedges
1-2 lbs Russet potatoes, quartered
olive oil
the marinade:
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoon bourbon
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon mesquite liquid smoke
1 teaspoon hot chile powder
1 teaspoon hot paprika
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground jalapeno
for the roasting liquid:
1/4 cup bourbon
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup water
In a small bowl, combine all of the marinade ingredients. Place the pork and marinade in a nonreactive container and marinate at least 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 450. Splash the bottom of a roasting pan with olive oil. Sprinkle the onion slices over the center part of the bottom of the pan. Place the pork over the layer of onions in a roasting pan. Pour any remaining marinade over the pork. Meanwhile, whisk together the roasting liquid. Set aside. After about 1/2 hour, add the roasting liquid and cover with a lid or foil and lower the temperature to 325. Toss the apples and potatoes with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside. After an additional 45 minutes add the apples and potatoes to the bottom of the pan. Roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast measures 160°F, about 1 1/2-2 hours. Allow to sit 10 or so minutes before removing the netting and slicing.
*Boneless pork shoulder roast is generally sold with some string wrapped around it or in netting. This holds the roast together and needs to remain in place during the roasting. If you can't find a boneless shoulder roast, use a bone-in and either debone and truss before roasting or roast it bone-in cut around the bone to serve. Bone-in meat will take longer to cook.

Well, Mrs. Claus and all her little helpers made a great Thanksgiving Day supper again! We sure had fun! If you had a Thanksgiving Day supper I hope it was fun too. Would you like to hear about something funny from our supper?
We had a new little elf visit us. Her name is Kissy the Elf! I think her real name is Missytoe. But she likes to be called Kissy. Her Mommy told me it was because she did really good fishy-face kisses when she was a baby.
Well, after we had turkey, Kissy the Elf went to help Mrs. Claus. Kissy came out with the very first piece of pumpkin pie. She gave it to me.
I said, "Thank You, Kissy". Then, I gave the piece of pie to the Head Elf. Kissy had a funny look on her face.
The Head Elf took the pie and said, "Thank You, Santa". Then, he gave the piece of pie to Clumsy the Elf. Kissy had a strange look on her face now.
Clumsy the Elf took the pie and said "Thank You, Head Elf ". Then, he gave it to another elf. Now Kissy had a really strange look on her face.
Again and again, the elves gave the piece of pie to another elf and said, "Thank You". (There are a lot of elves at the North Pole after all!) And each time Kissy got an even stranger look on her face!
Well, I could tell Kissy could take it no more.
Kissy the elf jumped up on a chair and said, "It's no use, you silly elves. The pieces are all the same size!"
We laughed and laughed.
Merry Christmas!
Santa Claus

"Protecting Israel against Its Own Strength"
Israel's offensive in Gaza was the government of Israel's farewell present to outgoing US president George W. Bush. "Israel's best friend ever" has supported it through every conflict and war, justified its aggressive moves, and prevented any international intervention against it. Bush awarded Israel the position of a central forward striker in his war on terror, thereby strengthening its most extreme right wing. With real friends like these, who needs illusionary enemies?
But Israel is not a satellite state of the US. It does try to accommodate US policy, but also to act according to its own agenda. Thus, for example, the eight years of "peace process" during the Clinton administration (1992-2000) were an Israeli initiative that bypassed and neutralized Clinton's mediation, just as the eight years of war and unilateral policy of the Bush era (2000-2008) began in Israel before Bush's inauguration.
"Window of opportunity"
Now too, Israel initiated the escalation in Gaza without anyone noticing, on November 4th, 2008, Election Day in the US. Israel's aggression cannot be understood without considering its timing, i.e., the "window of opportunity"; between Obama's election and swearing in.
I remember a conversation I had with the renowned late American scholar Charles Tilly, during his visit to Israel in May 2000. He asked me what is the political logic of the then Prime Minister Ehud Barak? I told him about his political "schedule": withdrawal from Lebanon in July, negotiations with the Palestinians completed in September, US elections in November.
It's not politics, but military logic
Tilly halted my speech, arguing that this is not political behaviour but military logic: giving ultimatums, avoiding negotiations, and then unilateral actions. He was right, in the peculiar democratic/military regime in Israel the politician/generals have acted unilaterally since then:
Withdrawal (from Lebanon, 2000) and redeployment (in Gaza, 2005), non-proportional violent reactions (In the occupied territories in 2000-2004 against the Intifada, in Lebanon and Gaza after the soldiers abductions in 2006, and now in Gaza), building the separation wall on its own account and illegally.
US presidential elections and a military schedule
All these are unilateral military moves, without recognition of the other, without negotiations. The US support is crucial; hence the presidential elections are part of the military plan schedule in Israel.
The attack on Gaza was a continuation of the unilateral and aggressive policy of the last eight years, aiming to exploit the support of Bush administration while forcing President-elect Obama to take a position under crisis, immediately as he enters office. The move began on November 4th, 2008, when the Israeli Defence Forces, IDF, entered the Gaza Strip, blew up a tunnel and killed six Hamas men, thereby breaking four and a half months of Tahadia (ceasefire).
The Palestinians responded by firing Kassam missiles at Israel; in response, the IDF closed the border crossings and tightened the siege over the Strip. The siege has been kept ever since, so the Hamas government announced that the condition for renewing the ceasefire was lifting the siege and opening the crossings. Israel chose to regard the condition of opening the crossings as a refusal by the Hamas to renew the ceasefire.
"Repeating the mantra of 'self-defence'"
Israel calls this "self-defence". But President Bush, the President of France, the Chancellor of Germany and the President of Egypt, too, keep repeating this mantra of "self-defence". Israel's argument is that "no sovereign nation could put up with being fired at by a neighbouring state", ignoring the fact that the Gaza Strip is not a "neighbouring state".
This is the heart of the conflict: Gaza is a huge prison controlled by the Israeli army, which prevents entry and exit of persons and goods, not only from the border crossings with Israel, but also from the Egyptian border, as well as by sea and air.
This deception by the government of Israel would not have been accepted if it hadn't been for the war on terror by President Bush, with the deception of the invasion of Iraq and the mass killing of civilians at its core.
Prior to the occupation of Iraq in April 2002, when the IDF recaptured the towns of the West Bank, killing hundreds of Palestinians and taking apart the institutions of the Palestinian Authority, there was harsh international criticism of Israel, and it was only at the Bush administration's intervention that a UN commission was prevented from arriving to investigate the massacre in Jenin.
Gaza is Israel's "Iraq"
Who is going to establish an investigative commission now? The Bush administration has managed to impose the war on terror over the entire world by bluntly ignoring global public opinion, but since then, Bush has remained in Iraq while Europe and the conservative Arab countries have gradually aligned with his policy.
If there is anything resembling Israel's invasion of Gaza, it is the US occupation of Iraq, and if Israel manages to crush Hamas rule, as Bush has crushed Saddam Hussein's rule, it will not be able to get out of Gaza.
Many around the world were disappointed with Obama's silence during the first week of the Israeli aggression. Such disappointment is justified by the bad experience with the US policy in the Middle East, indeed since Carter's administration one cannot expect too much. If the new President continues Bush's policy, only with a Clinton-style improved image, it would be disastrous.
The threat of radical Islam
There is a strong link between Iraq and Gaza, and if the US's withdrawal from Iraq is not accompanied by a honest and viable Israeli-Palestinian agreement, then the threat of radical Islam could indeed reach Cairo, Tel-Aviv, Paris and London.
But there is another, more positive possibility. It's possible that Barack Obama understands the trick Israel is trying to pull, and therefore opted to be silent for as long as he has no executive powers. I hope that this is the case, and that upon beginning his office, Obama would behave as a true friend to Israel and save it from itself. He must stop Israeli aggression.
High time for change
Israel's problem is an excess of military power stemming from the trauma of the Holocaust. Israel is behaving like the neighbourhood bully expecting someone to stop him, because it does have the power to destroy everything around it, while destroying itself in the process.
Anyone who sincerely wishes to help Israel must release it from its position as the central forward striker in the war on Islam, in which the Bush era of war on terror has framed it. Let us all hope that the war in Gaza is a farewell ceremony marking the end of President Bush's destructive era. It is indeed high time for the promised "change". Obama, yes you can.

The EU and the Gaza Conflict
Policy of Double Standards
Rarely has European politics achieved such a glaring failure as the attempt to end the war in Gaza. Instead of speaking with a single voice, the EU has presented itself as a raggle-taggle band of diverging approaches, says the Middle East expert Michael Lüders

Turkey's Role as Mediator in the Gaza Conflict
Dubious Diplomacy
As in other countries, Israel's attacks on Gaza have been greeted in Turkey with angry protests. Nevertheless, the government of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is currently making every effort to mediate between the two sides. According to Can Baydarol, in doing so, it is protecting its own interests too

Finding similarities in Pesach and baseball
It seems fortuitous that this year the sixth day of Pesach (Passover) occurs on Sunday, March 31, the same day that Major League Baseball begins its 2013 season with the Texas Rangers facing the Houston Astros.
The 2013 season will be the Houston Astros' first as a member of the American League and they will be placed in the West Division. This will mark the first growth in the number of American League teams since the 1977 addition of the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays.
In other words, pretty momentous decisions. And at this time of remembering the momentous events of the Exodus, we Jews can find many similarities between the opening of the baseball season and the coming of Pesach.
During spring training, baseball teams clean up their rosters. Players, like chametz (non-kosher bread products), can get old, stale and broken. So teams get new players in the hope of redeeming themselves from past failures.
In the spring, we clean our homes for Pesach. We clean out our cupboards, getting rid of chametz and other foods that are old, stale and broken. We get new bread -- matzah -- in celebration of our being redeemed from slavery in Egypt. Hopefully, we also regain hope, courage and optimism as well.
The opening of the baseball season also means new hope. While it is true that after the 162-game season, the same big teams will probably be on top -- the Yankees, Red Sox, Giants, Dodgers, and so on, I, as a long-suffering Chicago Cubs fan, still believe that "this could be the year." The hopefulness of spring is glorious and it "springs eternal."
Pesach is a holiday of hope. We place a cup of wine on our table for the prophet Elijah, in hope that this year will be the year that he comes to announce the coming of the Messiah, and will usher in a time of peace for Israel and the entire world.
Baseball has no time limit. Sometimes it seems like the Seders we attend have no time limit either. Baseball teaches us patience. The game isn't over until the very last out. Or as Yogi Berra once said, "It ain't over, till it's over." The Seder teaches us patience, as we cannot leave until we say, "Next year in Jerusalem."
Baseball involves strategy -- bunt, hit and run, steal. Pesach in Danbury involves strategy as we plan our Passover food scavenger hunt, not easy in Danbury ... but who knows? Whole Foods or Trader Joe's might one day carry kosher meat!
Baseball is a game of special foods -- hot dogs, peanuts and Cracker Jack. Passover is a time of special foods -- not only the required matzah, but also macaroons, matzah ball soup, brisket, matzah brei and other family favorites.
The object of baseball is to score runs by going home. Pesach celebrates our returning home from slavery in Egypt. And we celebrate it with Sedorim, which are most often held at home.
Baseball is a pastoral game, played in a beautiful green park. Pesach is a spring pastoral holiday that celebrates the harvest of the spring crops.
Yet, in the end, baseball is just a game. We cheer for our favorite teams. We celebrate their wins and cry with their losses. But it is just a game.
Pesach isn't a game. Pesach is life. Play ball.

Those who run their own business will understand how much time you end up corresponding with customers etc, and how easy it is to lose track of who's who and what conversation you had with who.
Anyway, whilst trolling through my PMs to see who I have replied to, and who I need to update etc, I thought this would work so much better with a conversation type view; i.e. where I can click on a message and see all the replies (both sides) with that person.
So there you have it, a feature request to make PMs easier to read.

Troy Tulowitzki: Batting average is overhyped
NEW YORK—Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki missed 25 games with a broken rib, but still is having one of the best seasons of his career with 20 home runs to go with a .381 on-base percentage and .562 slugging percentage. Those would be the best figures of his career if they hold up the rest of the way.
Last week, the three-time All-Star and two-time Gold Glove winner sat down with Sporting News to answer a few questions.
Sporting News: If you could trade places with anybody in baseball for a day, who would it be?
Troy Tulowitzki: Derek Jeter. He's my idol—the reason why I wear No. 2. Just the way he goes about his business. This year, I know he's had some ups and downs, but overall, just to be in someone's shoes for a day, it would probably be him.
SN: You've gotten to spend some time with him, right?
TT: Yeah, I've seen him, done a couple of his camps that he does here in the city. Good dude, down to earth, does it the right way.
SN: You're not on Twitter, right?
TT: I don't do any of that. For me, I care about this game so much and I'm so competitive, I know that about myself. I'll have the interaction with people, sign autographs for fans, but to just be open and for them to be able to say whatever they want to me, I'm not going to open myself up to that.
SN: Baseball has a lot of unwritten rules. What would be the one that sticks out to you the most?
TT: Most important is to respect the game. You hear that all the time, and what does it really mean? Whatever you're doing out there, if you're doing it out of respect for the game, you're probably doing it the right way.
SN: Other than winning a World Series, what's one thing you'd like to accomplish before your career is over?
TT: Just being known as a good teammate I think is the biggest thing when it's all said and done. People might look at World Series rings or playoff appearances, or this and that. If you can look back on it and have all your teammates who played with you respect you because you took the field and played hard every day and you're a good clubhouse guy, I think that means a lot.
SN: You went to the World Series in '07 and one of the memorable things about that was the crowd in Colorado doing the clap and chant with your name. What did that mean to you? It's not that common in baseball.
TT: It's something that throughout my career, they've done it, especially when we pack the stadium. I think, when I was a younger player, it was something that I had to learn to deal with because you get pumped up so much, you want to come through and sometimes the game sped up. As you get a little bit older, you say, "hey," and you realize how to slow down in that situation. Overall, them doing that, it's cool and something you remember when the club offers you a contract. It makes you want to stay there—you feel beloved by the fans. It's something that's special.
SN: What's your favorite ballpark to play in, other than Coors?
TT: Dodger Stadium. Growing up in California, it's always beautiful weather there and the ballpark has a ton of history. The grounds crew does a great job with the infield and that's important for a shortstop. I think, overall, I enjoy being there the most.
SN: Is there someone from another sport you'd like to see play baseball?
TT: I can't think of one in particular. I think baseball—if I was a football player, I'd say maybe LeBron or someone—but baseball's such a difficult sport. Just because you're a great athlete, it doesn't translate sometimes, so there isn't really someone I'd want to see.
SN: The issue of steroids: Is baseball doing the right thing? Are the penalties stiff enough, and is the program working?
TT: I try not to get involved with that stuff. Let them handle it. All I can do is make decisions for myself and represent myself the best that I can for my career and know that I did things the right way. Everything else, hey, whatever happens, happens.
SN: Are you satisfied that you're playing on a level playing field with clean guys right now?
TT: For the most part, yeah. Yeah, we've had this hiccup here and there, but I feel that it's a pretty even playing field.
SN: What city would you like to see as an eventual expansion city?
TT: I'll go with Vegas. I stay there in the offseason and they do get pumped up about some sports. I'll pick it because I stay there in the offseason.
SN: Did you ever get to play there?
TT: Yeah. We had an exhibition game there one year after spring training and before the season started. It seemed like the fans were excited. I think it would be a good place.
SN: What's a stat that gets too much attention?
TT: If I had to pick one, I think batting average. I think it defines a lot of people, but really, if you're a high on-base guy, it shows you're getting on base, but batting average is the one that's always next to your name, up there in every stadium. It's an important stat, but at the same time, I think it's overhyped.
SN: If you could change one rule in the game, what would it be?
TT: It's not a rule, but if I could change one thing in the game, it would be the scheduling. I think it's a demanding schedule—162 games can be difficult on people. I know in Japan, they have every Monday off, and they play 140-something games. I think, with how many injuries there are and our limitations, that's something to look into.
SN: Complete this sentence: I'm the only player in Major League Baseball...
TT: I don't really know. I can't answer that. You can ask other people, but nothing really sticks out.

Frank Nichols, Constitutional Club, Leicester, December 27th 1901
Print (50 x 74 mm) mounted on thick card, 64 x 102 mm
Image © and collection of Brett Payne
At first glance this mounted photograph of Frank Nichols looks like one such variation on the standard carte de visite photograph format. There are several unusual features suggesting that it is something slightly different. These include the simple art nouveau-style frame which enloses the cameo head-and-shoulders portrait, the handwritten name or signature (presumably that of the subject) photographically reproduced below the portrait, the printing at the base of the card mount "Constitutional Club, Leicester, December 27th, 1901" and, last but not least, the neat hole punched in the lower left corner of the mount.
Dance Card with Programme of Music and initials of dance partners
Image © and collection of Brett Payne
It is the reverse, however, which reveals the true nature and purpose of this item of ephemera. Printed on the back of the card is a "Programme" of sixteen dances, together with pencilled initials next to ten of them. It is a dance card, printed for a function at the Constitutional Club in Leicester on 27 December 1901. The hole in the corner was designed so that a small pencil could be attached with a length of cord or string.

Apparently dance cards originated in the 18th Century, but only became commonly used in Vienna in the 19th Century. By the mid-1800s they were appearing everywhere, as shown by this example from New Jersey.

Examples from the 1880s are commonly found and many images may be found using a Google Image search, such as the 1889 card shown above from Hawaii.

The designs on the cards naturally reflected both the organisation by which the dance was being organised (or the people for whom it was held) and the style of the era, and thus showed some considerable variety. Towards the end of the Victorian period designs became more and more elaborate due to the popularity of the lithographic process, as shown by these examples from 1905 (above) and 1909 (below).

By the 1920s, the designs were often heavily influenced by the art deco style.

Dance cards with photographs don't appear to be particularly common. Although my online search has not been exhaustive I was only able to find one other example, on sale for $75 on the web site Remains to be Seen. It is another carte de visite style card with a photograph of a musician holding a violin on the front, and on the reverse can be seen the dance programme for a Ladies' Waltz at Prof. Ben F. Gresh's Select Dancing Academy. The photo artist's name is noted as Gordon. The 1880 US Federal Census shows musician Benjamin Gresh living at East Ohio, Indianapolis and photographer Robert Gordon at East Washington, also in Indianapolis. By 1900, Gresh is described as a dancing teacher. Presumably Benjamin Gresh is the violinist pictured on the front of the dance card.
I'd be keen to hear from readers who have or know of other examples of photographic dance cards.
Using census records and GRO birth, marriage and death indexes I was able to determine that the subject of the photograph Frank Nichols was born in late 1880 or early 1881 in Leicester, the eldest of five children of a master plasterer George Nichols (1854-) and his wife Ann Jane Borderick (1856-). They lived at The Cedars, 11 Prebend Street, Leicester, and it seems likely that the date of the dance - a Friday - was Frank's twenty-first birthday.
Frank Nichols married Violet M. Wesley at Leicester in 1913 and they had four children: Tom (1913), Frank J. (1920), Avis L. (1921) and Doris A. (1923). Later trade directories suggest that they lived at 15 Halsbury Street in Leicester and that Frank was a mechanic. Many of their descendants continued to live in Leicester; surnames include Suffolk, Dove, Mewis, Randle, Webster, Dodson and Patterton.

Trade directories shows that the Constitutional Club House in Leicester was located on the south-west corner of Pocklington's Walk and Millstone Lane in central Leicester. It had three storeys and was built in the 1890s of brick with stone dressings in the modern Renaissance style.

Justin Upton's 3-run HR helps Braves top Reds 5-4
ATLANTA (AP) — Craig Kimbrel found ninth-inning drama before a big stretch by Freddie Freeman saved the night for the Braves.
Justin Upton hit a three-run homer to continue another strong April, Ervin Santana earned his third win and the Atlanta Braves held off the Cincinnati Reds 5-4 on Friday night.
Kimbrel gave up a leadoff single to Roger Bernadina and walked Zack Cozart to open the ninth. Kimbrel struck out Brayan Pena and Chris Heisey before earning his seventh save on Joey Votto's groundout.
BOX SCORE:Braves 5, Reds 4
Freeman made a long stretch at first base for Chris Johnson's throw from third base on Heisey's groundball. Reds manager Bryan Price challenged first base umpire Vic Carapazza's ruling that Freeman's foot remained on the bag. The call was confirmed, ending the game.
"Freddie did a terrific job staying on the bag," said Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez. He acknowledged he was nervous about the challenge before seeing the replay on the video board "and I felt kind of relaxed."
Price said that when looking across the field he thought he saw "a huge gap" between Freeman's foot and the bag. He said he agreed with the confirmed out call after seeing the replay.
"I had a chance to come up here and look at our own video, which is what they're getting in New York, and it was a confirmed out call," Price said. "They got the call right in the end, which is what we're looking for."
Two Cincinnati players left the game with injuries. Third baseman Todd Frazier was pulled in the fifth with tightness in his left leg. Catcher Devin Mesoraco strained his left hamstring and stumbled after rounding third base in the seventh, before limping across home plate.
Price said he was protecting Frazier, who had previous tightness in his groin.
Santana (3-0) gave up four runs on nine hits in 6 2-3 innings.
Following singles by B.J. Upton and Freddie Freeman off Homer Bailey (1-2) in the first inning, Justin Upton hit his team-leading sixth homer. He leads the team with 15 RBIs.
"We've seen him do this before and carry us for a while," Gonzalez said.
In 2013, Justin Upton led the majors with 12 homers in April, becoming the fastest player in Braves franchise history to reach the mark. He has hit 35 homers in April for his career, his highest total for any month.
"I'm just getting it going," said Upton, who is hitting .296 and leads the team with 15 RBIs.
Freeman had three hits for Atlanta to shake a mini-slump.
B.J. Upton, who was hitting .205, had one hit in his first game wearing prescription glasses.
"We'll see how the glasses work and if I'll keep them," he said. "I could see the ball better on both sides of the plate. It was good tonight."
Bailey allowed five runs on nine hits in six innings. He allowed at least four earned runs for the fourth time in five starts this season and has a 6.15 ERA.
The Braves increased their lead to 4-0 in the second on Jason Heyward's RBI single. Evan Gattis drove in a run in the third for a 5-0 lead.
Jay Bruce had a run-scoring single in the Reds' two-run sixth. Cincinnati added two more in the seventh, knocking Santana out of the game. Mesoraco scored on Billy Hamilton's double. Votto had a run-scoring single off Luis Avilan.
A strong defensive play by right fielder Jason Heyward helped Santana in the first inning.
Votto doubled with one out in the first and moved to third on Phillips' bloop single. Votto was thrown out at the plate on a strong throw by Heyward on Jay Bruce's fly ball. Votto, sliding head-first, was tagged out in the batter's box and never reached the plate.
Price said closer Aroldis Chapman, recovering from facial fractures and a mild concussion when hit by a line drive on March 19, will throw 35 to 40 pitches in batting practice on Saturday. If it goes well, it should be Chapman's final test before he is cleared for a minor league rehab assignment. ... Braves RHP David Hale will look for his first win of the season when he faces Reds RHP Mike Leake on Saturday.

The upside is now you won't have to choose between "The Lone Ranger" and "World War Z" next Christmas.
The bean counters at Disney took another look at the $250-million budget for their "Lone Ranger" reboot and decided to pull the plug, reported Deadline. Despite having Gore Verbinski behind the camera, Johny Depp as Tonto, and Armie Hammer in the title role, the Mouse had second thoughts.
On the one hand, Depp has made five films--the "Pirates" and "Alice in Wonderland"--at Disney that grossed $3.8 billion globally, for an average of $762 million, so a $250-million outlay doesn't seem like a huge risk.
U.S. & World
And Disney is clearly not afraid to spend money, having dropped $250 million on the upcoming "John Carter," starring Taylor Kitsch and based on a far less famous character; and $200 million "The Great and Powerful Oz," starring James Franco.
That said, even if you factor in whatever ungodly sum Depp commands, there is no reason that a film like this couldn't be made for half that budget. If Neil Blonkamp can make "District 9" for $30 million, you'd think a Western could be brought in under $200 million, no?
It turns out that all the talent involved is still interested in going forward, with one source telling Deadline, "Let's see how it all shakes out on Monday. There's always a chance that it could go. You never know until you know."

The Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival runs just six weeks, but a lot happens in that tiny time-frame. More than 40 concerts are on the schedule for the 2013 season, and the programs are ambitious.
The season starts small July 14 with Brahms Piano Trio No. 1 as the highlight and ends very big on August 19 with the Santa Fe Desert Chorale taking the stage.
It's hard to pick best bets, but here are a few things that should interest music fans making the drive to Santa Fe this summer.
Star of the show: Pianist Garrick Ohlsson is the fest's artist-in-residence this year. He'll perform three times.
Big names: Pianists Jeremy Denk, Inon Barnatan, Anne-Marie McDermott, Shai Wosner; violinists Daniel Hope, Ida Kavafian and Lily Francis; flutist Tara Helen O'Connor. Plus the Orion, Johannes, Miami, and Shanghai String Quartets.

Keeping Youth at Home, One Call at a Time
Jaime, a 14 year old from San Diego, called the Family and Youth Services Bureau-funded National Runaway Safeline because she wanted to run away from home.
"My mom treats me like a prisoner in my own home," Jaime said. "She doesn't let me hang out with my friends…she even gave me a PHONE curfew!"
Jaime explained to NRS frontline member Donnie that she fights with her mom all the time about the rules.
"I can understand how this may be frustrating for you," Donnie said. "Have you thought about what your plan would look like if you decided to run away?"
Jaime told Donnie that she had planned to stay at her friend's house down the block. She thought that maybe her friend's parents could intervene and talk to her parents for her. She told Donnie that she was feeling really overwhelmed and didn't know where to turn.
"Have you ever told your parents how you feel?" Donnie asked.
Jaime replied, "Umm, I just figured mom knew and didn't care how I felt."
Donnie helped Jaime explore how to talk with her parents about the way she was feeling. Then Jaime gave Donnie permission to mediate a conversation between her and her mom via conference call.
After talking with Jaime's mom, Donnie learned that Jaime had recently been lying about where she was going when hanging out with one of her friends; as a result, the rules got stricter. During the call, Jaime asked her mom if she would be open to giving her more freedom. Jaime's mom said that she would have to earn some trust back but that they could work on that together. Jaime agreed to work on gaining her parents' trust back.
"Thank you so much for helping me talk to my mom. I feel so much better now," Jaime said.

Manchester, NH (January 3, 2013) – Dyn, the worldwide leader in Internet Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), announced the hiring of Claudia Santoro as its new Director of Email Engineering and Dave Connors as VP of Technical Operations. In addition, Andrew Sullivan, previously Director of Labs, has been promoted to Director of DNS Engineering.
"We have added three rock stars to our engineering team," said Dyn CTO Cory von Wallenstein. "Recruiting talent like this shows our commitment to engineering excellence and ensures that while we continue scaling, we will be producing the very best products in the world."
More On Claudia
Santoro knows firsthand the challenges and opportunities in the email delivery market, bringing with her a wealth of knowledge and experience in scaling engineering teams. Prior to Dyn, she was the Chief Technology Officer at Vsnap, a Boston-based video messaging startup that she helped cofound.
Prior to that, the native of Rome, Italy, was the VP of Engineering at Exit41, a venture-backed company in Andover, MA. Santoro led Exit41's reinvention from a point-of-sale software provider to a provider of turnkey web and mobile ordering services for restaurants. Over five million transactions per year are being processed through this system. Before Exit41, Santoro held engineering roles at IBM and Epsilon.
"This is an awesome opportunity to work with a great team in helping grow Dyn's services and also to meet the massive scale delivery of quality email," Santoro said. "I look forward to bringing extensive experience building highly scalable systems along with the teams that make them possible. I can't wait to get started."
More On Dave
Connors brings years of experience as VP, Operations at Constant Contact into his new role as VP, Technical Operations. In this role, Connors – a Yale graduate in engineering — will be leading Dyn's technical teams as they continue to scale.
"Dave specializes in building web operations teams and capacity planning for large-scale infrastructure projects, making him a perfect fit," said von Wallenstein.
More On Andrew
Sullivan has been working on future innovations for Dyn for the past year as Director of Labs. In his new role as Director of DNS Engineering, he brings that same pioneering spirit to the DNS team, ensuring the company is always looking toward the future of the Internet.
Sullivan has long been a leading voice in the DNS and Internet community and previously worked as the Director of Name Services at Afilias and as an Internet Scientist at Shinkuro, Inc.
"My work with the labs team was very exciting," Sullivan said. "It gave me the opportunity to work with the production engineers on an architectural review of the DNS systems. That review stimulated a number of thoughts about how things might evolve and improvements that were needed. At Dyn, if you have an opinion people expect you to step up and take action, so that's how I ended up moving to DNS engineering," Sullivan said.
More On Paul
Dyn also announced the hiring of Paul Mailhot as VP, Business Operations. Mailhot, who comes from 19 years at Autodesk, is responsible for organization, design and development across the entire business, technology systems to support growth, including corporate IT, and strategic planning for the future. Mailhot welcomes the challenge of moving from a large multinational company to a smaller, fast paced growth company.
"Having the ability to use my business experience to help a company undergoing hyper growth was the key reason for joining Dyn's management team," Mailhot said. "The Dyn story is very exciting and has tremendous potential as we define the IaaS market. Being part of that future is exciting and I look forward to being one of the catalysts to growth."
While these are Dyn's most high profile hirings, they are certainly not the only top talent joining the team. After doubling in size for the past two years, growth is on the docket again for 2013 with a plethora of new technology positions available in the company's Manchester, NH, headquarters. Dyn also has offices in Brighton, UK, Wrexham, Wales and San Francisco, CA.
About Dyn
Incorporated in 2001, Dyn is the worldwide Internet Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) leader, powering Managed DNS, Traffic Management, Email Delivery & Email Reporting for more than four million enterprise, small business and personal users. With nearly 20 data centers around the world and industry-leading uptime for over 10 years, Dyn's commitment to customer relationships and engineering excellence shines every day. Uptime is the Bottom Line.

Cranberries are among the top foods with proven health benefits, according to Amy Howell, a researcher at Rutgers University.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Cranberries are full of antioxidants, which protects cells from damage by unstable molecules called free radicals.
The National Institutes of Health is funding research on the cranberry's effects on heart disease, yeast infections and other conditions, and other researchers are investigating its potential against cancer, stroke and viral infections.
So far, research has found:
- Drinking cranberry juice can block urinary infections by binding to bacteria so they can't adhere to cell walls. While women often drink unsweetened cranberry juice to treat an infection, there's no hard evidence that works.
- A compound Howell discovered in cranberries, proanthocyanidine, prevents plaque formation on teeth; mouthwashes containing it are being developed to prevent periodontal disease.
- In some people, regular cranberry juice consumption for months can kill the H. pylori bacteria, which can cause stomach cancer and ulcers.
Preliminary research also shows:
- Drinking cranberry juice daily may increase levels of HDL, or good cholesterol and reduce levels of LDL, or bad cholesterol.
- Cranberries may prevent tumors from growing rapidly or starting in the first place.
- Extracts of chemicals in cranberries prevent breast cancer cells from multiplying in a test tube; whether that would work in women is unknown.

The sleepy Dutch Caribbean island of Bonaire wakes up to the adrenaline-rush of kite racing this week with the kick-off of the South & Middle American Championships. Thirty-four intrepid racers from around the world traveled to the tiny southern Caribbean island to test their mettle against each other in the near-perfect race conditions Bonaire has to offer.
Strong wind, pancake-flat water and a pod of passing dolphins greeted riders as they arrived for the start of the first day's races. Men and women raced together, with the women getting a five-minute head start in each heat. Riccardo Leccese (ITA) dominated the four heats, with a first place finish every time. Day one of the racing concluded with Riccardo Leccese, Blazej Ogoz (POL) and Florian Gruber (GER) in the top three spots.
The women's fleet also saw consistent first place finishes, with Nayara Licariao (BRA) finishing in the top spot for all four heats. Hot on her heels was Beth Lygoe (LCA) who consistently finished second – a promising start for her first course racing competition. The final results for the women's fleet after Day One was Nayara Licariao, Beth Lygoe and Nuria Goma (ESP) For complete results from day one, including protest outcomes, please check the official results.
Heading into day two, the competition looks fierce, with racers now accustomed to the new course layout including the dramatic beach finish. Spectators enjoyed being so close to the action, and the racers appreciated the cheering as they crossed the finish line. Given the number of spectators on the normally quiet beach, there is no doubt that Bonaire is waking up to the excitement of kite racing.

Changing A Generation Full Gospel Baptist Church was birthed out of the legacy and rich history of Greater St. Stephen Missionary Baptist Church, which was organized on January 6, 1937 in a rented hall on South Liberty Street in New Orleans, LA by the late Rev. Arthur A. Gundy. After experiencing great growth they moved to Ladies Providence Hall and then again in 1939 to a two-story building at 2308 South Liberty located in the Uptown area of New Orleans. In 1954 construction on the new church began, but Rev. Gundy was called home that same year and did not see his vision come to pass. His Assistant Pastor, Rev. Percy Simpson, Jr. was immediately appointed Pastor-in-Charge and continued the work started by Rev. Gundy.
A Time of Transition…
Greater St. Stephen continued to grow and they marched into the new edifice in the spring of 1955 with the newly elected Pastor, Rev. Percy Simpson, Jr. Rev. Simpson continued to grow and develop a ministry that changed lives by adding new auxiliaries, programs, a weekly radio broadcast, and the acquisition of additional property. However, Rev. Simpson would not see his vision come to fruition. His untimely death on Nov. 27, 1974 devastated the city and our church family.
Once again history would repeat itself and the Assistant Pastor, Rev. Paul S. Morton took the helm and like his predecessor became Pastor-in-Charge.
Times of Great Transitioning…
Rev. Morton was elected Pastor of the church on December 27, 1974. He took the ministry even further than his predecessors because of a dual anointing. Bishop Morton was a trailblazing visionary and under his leadership Greater St. Stephen experienced phenomenal growth and expansion on every level. He continued to heed the voice of God and kept growing and made many accomplishments.
· A 2000-seat sanctuary Uptown New Orleans (The Mother church)
· A 3000-seat sanctuary acquired in New Orleans East
· 1000-seat sanctuary on the Westbank
· School of Ministry and Bible College, a Corporate Headquarters in New Orleans East for of the three church locations, GSS Learning Center, an academy, a Christian Bookstore, a Print shop, and over 60 auxiliary ministries.
In February 1993, Elder Debra B. Morton was appointed Co-Pastor and with her assistance the church was able to grow and expanded… into "One church in three locations". Co-Pastor Debra Morton, also, founded the Women of Excellence, the Eljeanette White Parent Child Center, opened Spanobia Spa and Salon servicing thousands of women throughout the City of New Orleans…helping to make the ministry even Greater.
Bishop Morton heeded the voice of God again and accepted the Office of Bishop and was consecrated on May 19, 1993 as the first Presiding Bishop of the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship International—"giving Baptists the Right to Choose."
Though Bishop Morton took on additional responsibilities as International Bishop, Greater St. Stephen continued to flourish and impact the community with the following:
· The purchase of St. Stephen City in 1996
· The acquisition of 16 acres of land on New Orleans Westbank and 16 acres of undeveloped and on the Eastbank for future growth
· Raising over 2 million dollars in 60 days to purchase our first educational facility - the Greater St. Stephen Learning Academy and a Senior Citizen housing facility.
The legacy of doing Kingdom work for the Lord continued as we grew to a congregation of over 20,000 people and planted several ministries in the State of Louisiana with sons of the ministry serving as pastors.
A Greater Time of Transition…
In August 2005, Katrina devastated the New Orleans area. God said to Bishop Morton, "I may be down-sizing New Orleans but I won't down-size your ministry." So, in October 2005, Greater St. Stephen/Atlanta began having services at New Beginning Full Gospel Baptist Church at 3:00 p.m. By January 2006; we marched into our newly renovated edifice at 4185 Snapfinger Woods Drive where the Lord began adding to the church daily.
After the waters receded in New Orleans, renovations were underway to REBUILD. Greater St. Stephen was not only blessed by the compassion and contributions from the Body of Christ, they were able to be a blessing to thousands who came to receive assistance (food, clothing, personal necessities, etc.) after Katrina. The Westbank and Uptown locations were restored and the services were filled to capacity. Bishop Morton was led to install Bishop Tommie Triplett as Pastor of the Westbank Location in 2007. We became "One Church in Two States" with Greater St. Stephen FGBC Uptown and Greater St. Stephen/Atlanta.
With a determination to "Change A Generation" during a difficult time in both states, Bishop Morton adopted a new motto: "Changing the Way We Do Church." In Atlanta, the church prospered with over twenty active ministries within two years.
We grew spiritually, charitably, and financially. We began our relocation efforts by securing a piece of property in Southwest Atlanta and starting our Greenbriar and Pew Chair Campaign. On October 18, 2007 the grounds of the property located at 3350 Greenbriar Parkway, SW, the future home of the ministry was consecrated back to the Lord. And, after celebrating 33 years of pastoring in New Orleans, Louisiana, Bishop Morton passed the mantle to his wife, Dr. Debra B. Morton and appointed her as Senior Pastor of Greater St. Stephen. Bishop Morton serves as her Co-Pastor.
This repositioning, therefore, evoked the change in our name in 2008 after Bishop Morton repositioned his focus as Senior Pastor of the newest church birthed out of the legacy and strength of Greater St. Stephen…the place where so many now call home "Changing A Generation Full Gospel Baptist Church-Atlanta." We are producing a Greater Change with One Church In Two States.
After acquiring and blessing of the grounds at 3350 Greenbriar Parkway SW in Atlanta, we completed our financial efforts, and began construction on the new edifice. On Sunday, October 26, 2009, we officially held our last service at the Snapfinger location, and began our transition into Southwest Atlanta. During this transition in October 2009, we relocated our Corporate Headquarters and held our, Sunday Worship Services at Berean Seven Day Adventist Church on Hamilton E. Holmes during November 2009.
We Were Southwest Atlanta bound!
Joshua 6:16 says "And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpet, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the Lord hath given you the city…
On Sunday, November 29, 2009, the promise was fulfilled as Bishop Paul S. and Dr. Debra B. Morton, along with C.A.G. family, and a host of special guests and friends dedicated the newly constructed "Changing A Generation Full Gospel Baptist Church" edifice back to the Lord…
Since making Southwest Atlanta our new home, Changing A Generation continues to grow by leaps and bounds. We expanded our boarders to meet the needs of our members and the community. After 30 years of a successful television ministry, we began a more interactive approach to ministry by adding Tuesday Morning Meditation, online giving, live streaming of our weekly services, Facebook, Twitter, and E-blast to keep our members connected. We held numerous community events throughout the year to include partnering with the American Red Cross and Greenbriar Mall to bring "Change in the Streets" Tent Crusade offering both spiritual revival and resources for healthy living. The Lord is adding daily to this spiritual body due to the dynamic leadership, guidance, and vision of our Senior Pastor, Bishop Paul S. Morton and our Co-Pastor, Dr. Debra B. Morton who serve at the helm—feeding and directing us, as they are directed by God!
With weekly and midweek services and the Greater Change Television Broadcast (on AIB & the Word Network) we were able reach thousands, as we continued to build a ministry that would be pleasing to God, we became "One Church In Two Locations" in September 2011 with satellite locations during the transition we were declaring what God has said was true… Just shy of one year since our expansion efforts began, the Lord blessed us to purchase our own building at 2600 H. F. Shepherd Drive, Decatur, Georgia. On Sunday, July 29, 2012, our Pastor prayed as we cut the ribbon, had the officials to make proclamations, and marched into Changing A Generation Full Gospel Baptist Church/East at 6pm. Changing A Generation continued to grow as a spiritual body due to the constant dynamic leadership, guidance, and vision of our Senior Pastor, Bishop Paul S. Morton and our Co-Pastor, Dr. Debra B. Morton, who serve at the helm, feeding and directing us, as they are directed by God..
CAG adopted the phrase "I LOVE MY CAG" to express our desire to not only build within the four walls, but also our determination to be a light in a dark world. During our year of Dominion the ministry progressed. We added various services--support and networking ministries, programs and services (CAG Food Bank, Pastoral Care Counseling Center) and others to benefit the body and surrounding communities.
After, just 10 years, we can truly say that we have not seen our "Best Days yet!"
