Get creative with our new collection of styles. With the help of experts from HGTV, it will be a simple and enjoyable makeover.
STYLE: Campbell | COLOR: Oceanside
The dimensional elements have never been more important than today. Tactile, textural, subtle gradations, contrasting embroidery, hand-scraped or hand-polished wood: the surface speaks volumes to the human eye and human touch. The variety of offerings provide the look of a "one of a kind" product with affordable value.
It's easy enough to figure out where one room begins and ends; the tougher question is how. You can hire a designer many people do or you can go with what feels good. Shaw considers all surface types when they think about color so you can feel good about your choices. Plus Shaw equips you with an array of accents and borders to make your transitions more interesting and more likely to blend into the next surface.

After reading today's announcement on the home page of this site, I just wanted to say "thank you" to Dave Easter for persevering through some difficult times to make this happen for the Canadian sport.
It looks like Canada just got what everybody else really wants. A strong, unified, national governing body for inline hockey in partnership with, but not subjugated to, our ice hockey cousins.
Equality!!!! what a concept. What a great day for Canada.

Organizing committee of NCAA championship hosting spirit competition with cash prize
Staff report
Published: Thursday, December 27, 2012 2:12 PM CST
Team Frisco the local organizing committee behind the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision title game, and the Frisco Chamber of Commerce are calling on all Frisco businesses to show off their team spirit in a new contest.
The spirit contest, which has a 5 p.m. deadline on Jan. 3, will feature a $1,000 cash prize.
Just ten days are left until the rematch between the Sam Houston State Bearkats and the North Dakota State University Bison at FC Dallas Stadium for the championship game, which will kick off noon Jan. 5.
"We're hoping to grow this friendly competition this year," said Mayor Maher Maso, honorary chairman of Team Frisco. "We hope even more businesses will decorate their store windows and their employees will dress in team colors, making our visitors feel right at home. We'll be hosting about 21,000 football fans inside the stadium -- not to mention those tailgating or watching the nationally televised game -- and we want to be the best hosts we can be. So show your spirit, Frisco!"
Team Frisco -- which is made up of the City of Frisco, the Frisco Economic Development Corporation, the Frisco Convention & Visitors Bureau, Hunt Sports Group, Southland Conference and the Frisco Chamber of Commerce -- is offering a $1,000 cash prize to the business that shows the most spirit in the form of decorations, window dressing or dressing their employees in competing college colors during Game Week.
Teams arrive Jan. 2, signaling the start of game week, which runs until the game's kickoff. To enter, post a photo (one entry only) on
the City of Frisco's Facebook page
by 5 p.m. Jan. 3.
Entries will be evaluated by number of Facebook "likes" as well as judges' comments.
"Wear your favorite team colors, decorate your storefront windows or display a 'welcome' message on your business marquee," said Tony Felker, president and CEO of the Frisco Chamber of Commerce. "Let's show our visiting football fans our community spirit and how we do business in Frisco."
The 2013 game marks the third year in a three-year contract for Frisco to host the championship. Earlier this month, the NCAA announced Frisco's FC Dallas Stadium will host the game another three years, through 2016.

Children for Unity
When they meet together, the youngest generation experience the joy of trying to put love first. Through means most suitable for them – stories, games, audiovisuals, skits – they get to know Jesus more and strive to put the words of the Gospel into practice, sharing their experiences with each other.
Through the Movement they come in contact with children and adults of different nations, cultures and religions. At an early age they already experience what it means to be all children of the One Father and are thus naturally predisposed to an open perspective.

No, Sonos hasn't added AirPlay or Bluetooth. It's better. This is an update that can be added (via a free download) to any Sonos speaker or player and it works with the updated iOS app.
Sonos says that 60 percent of music purchased is bought directly on users' iOS devices (iPhones/Pads/Pods), and that music often stays on those devices because we infrequently sync with PCs. This update makes it easier to play downloaded music over a Sonos.
First, you need to update the software on your Sonos speakers or players. You can do this via the Sonos desktop software. After that make sure that your iOS device is running iOS 6, the latest version. Then update the Sonos app.
While this sounds like AirPlay for Sonos, it's not, but it's actually a little better. With AirPlay you can only play one stream from your phone to your playback device. With this Sonos update you can play up to five separate tracks on separate Sonos zones in your home (the update actually allows for up to 12 unique streams and up to 32 players). It's also able to sync the music among multiple zones via its own network.
I tried the update this morning. The whole process, including updating the app, took about five minutes. Afterward I saw my iPhone appear as an option (called This iPhone) in the Sonos music menu. I went directly to Ben Folds Five Whatever and Ever Amen and played "One Angry Dwarf." It played without issue, sounded great, and I was able to play it Bonnie "Prince" Billy in a separate zone, streamed from the same phone. If you're a Sonos user, try it.
Electronic House is running a Sonos sweepstakes now. Enter to win a Sonos PLAY:3 system here.
The woven acoustic screen is now available in a retractable, masking version.
Centralized home control and automation plus boatload of A/V options including dropdown theater screen revitalize 12K-square-foot home.
Should TV manufacturers offer dumbed-down TVs that focus on image quality rather than apps?
Say hello to home control in this high-tech palace, circa 2006.

Kagera, Mara and Shinyanga regions have formulated strategies, dubbed 'best practices', aimed at solving the critical shortage of health workers in districts.
The country's health sector currently faces a serious Human Resource crisis, which impacts negatively its ability to provide better services at village and district levels.
The crafted strategies by the Lake Zone regions health stakeholders address the inability of many districts in the country to attract and retain competent health workers, thus curtailing delivery of quality healthcare services in dispensaries, health centres and hospitals.
These 'best practices' are a product of knowledge-sharing forums held between May 7 and 15 in the three Lake Zone regions. The forums brought together key decision makers and human resources managers from respective local government authorities. Among them were District Executive Directors, District Human Resources Officers, District Medical Officers and District Health Secretaries.
Key objectives of the knowledge-sharing forums were to discuss best practices in handling recruitment and retention challenges in local governments as well as improving working conditions and performance.
At the end the forums participants came up with sets of commitments and recommendations, which are expected to guide implementation of various improvement initiatives, especially at local government authorities, towards improving their ability to attract, recruit and retain competent health workers and reduce vacancy rates.
The Government has had efforts to improve recruitment of health workers through respective ministries as it has been changing strategies from time to time. Currently, recruitment for health workers is centralised; initially managed by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare and recently by the Public Service Employment Secretariat within the President's Office - Public Service Management consistent with the 2007 Public Service Act.
Health experts say centralized recruitment practices and multi-sectoral involvement in the recruitment process of health workers have led to a number of contentious issues, arguably resulting into higher vacancy rates and reduced retention of staff at local government authorities.
Some of these contentious issues include receiving limited approvals of posts or permits compared to staffing needs and failure to receive required cadres due to shortage of skills in the market, among others.
Despite various ongoing and completed initiatives to address these problems and others, the limitation of most Local government authorities to attract and retain health workers still persists.
Furthermore, the health experts say the Human Resources Information System (HRIS) is being implemented in various local government authorities under the Tanzania Human Resources Capacity Project (THRP). Different districts are at different stages of implementation of the system for different reasons -- rendering knowledge and experience-sharing quite necessary.
It is against this background that the Benjamin William Mkapa HIV/AIDS Foundation (BMAF) and its partners came up with the idea of creating a multi-sectoral understanding and experience-sharing on the underlying Human Resource for Health policies and practices that contribute to the challenges experienced by local governments and soliciting appropriate ways of resolving them.
Among the resolutions discussed by participants at the forums include improvement of orientation at the district level for all newly employed staff as well as timely payment of subsistence allowance to the newly employed health staff.
.Other resolutions made during the forum includes the need for development of district profiles which can be circulated to potential sources of recruitment such as health training colleges and universities. Innovative ways of attracting graduates from colleges and universities which has been invented by Mkapa Foundation was also recognized as an important practise to be supported by donors, government and district generally in-order to obtain potential health staff to be hired. Furthermore, encouraging and attracting health students who are on field attachment at the districts facilities is important so as to familiarise to accept working in the local environment
Other recommendations coming from the forum is on encouraging construction of staff houses using available funding avenues at the LGAs as well as encouraging more funds disbursement from the ministry level to support the cause.
These outputs from the forums were sets of commitments by concerned local government authorities to improve methods, processes as well as instituting best practices on addressing the Health workforce challenges.
"Generally, we believe that these forums have been effective engines for generating knowledge and sharing practical strategies and techniques, especially local initiatives for improving recruitment and retention of health workers in the districts," the participants observed.
However, they say realisation of expected outcomes of various resolutions reached during the forums will highly depend on the commitment of both respective local government authorities and relevant central ministries to implement recommended actions.
"We at the Local Government depend on the common understanding and effective coordination of the four ministries, which deal and have stake on the human resource for health matters. These ministries are the President's Office Public Service Management, Prime Minister's Office Regional Administration and Local Government; Ministry of Health and Social Welfare and Ministry of Finance. Thus our plea is for the Mkapa Foundation who works closely with the districts to play a facilitative role across the Ministries so as to address our main challenges on Human resource for Health" , as stated by one of the participant in the forum.

The Basics

About James
Email firstname.lastname@example.com
Phone 215-300-2747
James Boyle figured out he wanted to work in journalism during his second year at Temple University. He soon found a part time job collecting local sports scores for The Intelligencer in Doylestown.
After graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Journalism from Temple, he took a full time position as an assistant arts editor for the Princeton Packet in New Jersey. For five years, James got paid very little for doing a job he completely loved. Each week he got the opportunity to interview new and interesting local artists and musicians around Central Jersey. James sat in a UFO fanatic's home while his interview subject showed him picture after picture of suspected sightings. There was also the time he got to sit backstage during auditions for Showtime at the Apollo's traveling show and watch as one hopeful clanged two pairs of bottles together with the tips of his fingers, keeping in rhythm with the recorded music. The position also gave him the chance to interview several well-known performers, including Richard Lewis, Eric Idle and Jewel.
As enjoyable as the experience was, a growing family meant that James had to move on to bigger things. After a year working as an associate editor for a construction magazine, he found employment as an assistant editor at Advance for Health Information Executives. The magazine focused on health care information technology, which meant that James spent a lot of time combing through press releases and interviewing marketing representatives about the importance of their new product.
Revenue woes forced the publishing company to lay James off, along with many of his co-workers. After 18 months of struggling in the job market, James found his way to Patch.com and is now doing what he has always loved the most, community journalism.
James has lived in Warminster for almost 30 years. He went to Nativity of Our Lord school and graduated from Archbishop Wood High School in 1995. Jim played soccer at Munro Park and basketball at the WREC Center. A few years ago, he leapt at the chance to buy a house down the street from where he grew up, and now couldn't be happier that his children are growing up in this wonderful community.
Your Beliefs
At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. This disclosure is not a license for you to inject your beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that your beliefs are on the record will cause you to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know.
How would you describe your political beliefs?
My liberal beliefs are pretty well known to the people around me. The common mantra is that liberals only want more government. My take is that I don't want more, I just want the government we have to work properly. Government and the private sector need to maintain a good balance, because the country cannot succeed without either side functioning properly. That being said, I don't filter everything I see to fit within that philosophy. I love a good debate and never enter into one thinking I know everything there is to know about any certain topic.
Are you registered with a certain party?
I am a registered Democrat.
How religious would you consider yourself? (casual, observant, devout, non religious)
I was born and raised Catholic, but have fallen away from religion the past few years. My children go to weekly church school, and I take them to mass as often as I can so that they can have the same opportunity to accept the Catholic faith.
Local Hot-Button Issues
What do you think are the most important issues facing the community?
Like most communities, the economy is a major factor for Warminster. The board of supervisors is struggling to keep the budget balanced while there are a lot of good people unemployed or underemployed. They are rightfully dreading any tax raises, but at the same time the police department needs to be fully staffed and equipped.
Warminster residents are also concerned about the addition of more box stores in the township. There are two CVS pharmacies about to open within a mile of each other, to go with the Rite Aid and the Walgreens already in town. There are also plans for a Costco on Jacksonville and Street roads. These new constructions are sure to bring in more jobs and attract consumes from surrounding communities, but they also threaten the uniqueness of Warminster. Not to mention increased traffic congestion will surely be a byproduct. Street Road is already a nightmare around rush hour.

Hi James: I'm not sure who edited my story of My Home My Bangor but there is a sentence that is incorrect...could you please fix it? Here is the sentence: I scheduled my train time around noon or evening, I wouldn't be able to go until June 2nd or 3rd.
The correct sentence should be: I didn't scheduled my train time around noon or evening, because I knew I wouldn't be able to go until June 2nd or 3rd. I would make excuses to stay in Bangor.
Could you please make the correction because I am unable to?

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande erased a seven-point first half deficit and rallied from five points down in the second stanza to post a 66-60 win over Mount Vernon Nazarene University, Friday night, in women's basketball action at the Physical Education Center.
With the win, the RedStorm (3-8) snapped a seven-game losing streak and completed a season sweep of their former America Mideast Conference rival.
Mount Vernon dropped to 2-9 with the loss.
Rio Grande trailed 22-15 with 9:18 left in the first half following a steal and layup by MVNU's Ashley Jessie, but RedStorm reeled off eight straight points of their own to take their first lead of the night, 23-22, on a jumper by sophomore forward Tinesha Taylor with 5:30 remaining before intermission.
Rio's lead reached as many as five points late in the half before the Cougars forged a 29-29 deadlock at the break and opened the second half on a 7-2 run to take a 36-31 advantage after Camaranne Myles connected on one of two free throw attempts with 16:03 left in the game.
The RedStorm scored six straight points to regain the lead with just over 14 minutes left and the contest remained a see-saw affair over the next 6-1/2 minutes before Rio went in front for good, 50-48, after a jumper in the lane by senior guard Shardai Morrison-Fountain with 7:52 remaining.
Rio Grande's biggest lead of the night came at 59-52 following an offensive rebound and stickback by junior guard/forward Kate Hammond with 3:36 left and the Cougars got no closer than three the rest of the way.
Morrison-Fountain finished with a game-high 24 points to lead the RedStorm, while Taylor and freshman forward Julia Heaberlin had 12 points each.
Freshman forward Sarah Bonar had a game-high 11 rebounds in the win despite fouling out in just 20 minutes of playing time.
Mount Vernon got 11 points apiece from Jessie and Myles in the loss, while Emily Steveley pulled down eight rebounds.
The Cougars shot just 27.6 percent in the second half (8-for-29), committed 26 turnovers and were outrebounded 51-39.

i wasn't sure where to post this, because they are really chestnuty puzzles, so as an explanation and an excuse i give you the big picture:
i am going to organize a sort of treasure hunt game in my city where on different places the players will have to solve something and move on to the next stop. i need to know the TIMES it would take them to finish the puzzles, because it will help me organize the whole thing.
knowing all the answers its hard for me to judge the times. so more important to me than solutions (which no doubt you will find) are the times it took you to solve them. if you can put those times in your posts pls. if you know these than don't bother to post stuff like: 0.02 seconds.
oh and one thing... this is NOT a contest!!! so if you put the times (please do!), be sincere about it, anyway i need to know the average not the genius times.
enough chat, here goes:
1. you have 3 matches in one row, 4 matches in the second, and 5 in the third row. two players take turns taking matches. you can take any number of matches from any one row. the player who takes the last match loses. if you are the first to go, what is your winning move?
2. you have 4 beer bottles. arrange them on a table so that each of the corks would be the same distance from any other of the four.
3. 149, 162, 536, 496, x
4. give me one word for each group of colors:
red, yellow, green
black, red
white, black
white, red, black, yellow
white, blue, red (leave this out - slovak flag)
red, white
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet
...ok, thats enuff - the rest is too local/language/culture based...

I decided not to try to solve these, mostly because
1. Man, it's Nim again. I can never, ever remember the strategy for Nim.
2. Do you mean "...from any of the other three?" This was enough of a chestnut that, assuming the answer is <
put three in an equilateral triangle and turn the fourth upside down at the center of it
>, it took me no time at all.
3. No real reason not to try to solve this one.
4. I'm not sure what you mean "one word for." I assume the last one is <
>, but I don't know a single word for "red and white." <
>? <
>? <
But I figured the feedback was necessary.

well thnx, yes i welcome any form of feedback
ok, so you don't play nim, didn't bother with the number sequence, solved the bottles in no time (hey that's good to know), and you were not sure about the 'one word for' - ok i might think about rephrasing that... anyway the last one was correct, and for the red and white the answer is the third of your choices. if you got the rest of them too, how long did it take you?

I actually didn't try the others, because as I said, I had no idea if this is what you meant. Black/red is immediately a <
>, r/y/g is--now that I'm thinking--immediately a <
>. I suppose w/b is a <
chessboard or just 'chess'
>, but the other rings no bells (and note that I got 'red and white' on my third try).

well in the original 'version' they know the number of letters for each word. you got those fine except for black/red - for this the word is 5 letters.
and the last one is 5 letters too. or it can be 6 letters if you use plural (so obviously the potential 6th is 's')
thnx for trying at least!
edit: add the 6th letter...

Punch the other player in the face and force him to make only moves you want him to.
4) Oh that's easy.
One word for all of them, "colors"

Nim? Lovely game. The strategy for it however would not be a chestnut. It's pretty damn hard to get to it if you don't know a thing about it.
In general, it goes like this:
Covert the three to base 2 and modify
of these numbers so that the XOR-sum of them would be 0. e.g. for 15, 19 and 7, 01111+10011+00111=11011, so take 11 from the second one, giving 01111+01000+00111=00000. In the 3-4-5 case, take two from the first.
On reviewing the problems, neither are chestnuts!!! (IMO i mean)

well, nim rules might be hard to break in general if you don't know anything about them... however, im not asking for this at all - luckily for the players
i just want to know the solution to this case - which they can gain in any way they see fit. they can sit there and try a frew dozen combinations for all i care.
and the answer you gave is one of the correct ones.

William Maurice Cowan, or "Mo" as friends and family call him, just landed the biggest job of his career.
Cowan, a native of Yadkin County who is a former top aide to Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick, was tapped by the governor on Wednesday to serve as interim U.S. senator for Massachusetts until a special election is held to fill the seat vacated by John Kerry's confirmation as the nation's new secretary of state.
Cowan, 43, became chief of staff to Patrick in 2010 after serving as chief legal counsel during the governor's first term.
Growing up in Yadkin County, Cowan graduated from Forbush High School in 1987, went to college first at Duke University and then Northeastern University School of Law in Boston, Mass., and then he landed at the governors office in Massachusetts.
Cowan began his law career in litigation in Boston after law school. He then moved to another firm, Mintz Levin, where last year he began working with Gov. Patrick as general counsel.
"I am proud and delighted to appoint Mo Cowan as interim U.S. Senator from Massachusetts," said Governor Patrick. "Mo's service on the front lines in our efforts to manage through the worst economy in 80 years and build a better, stronger Commonwealth for the next generation has earned him the respect and admiration of people throughout government. The people of the Commonwealth have benefited from his wisdom and good judgment during his time in our office, and will again in the Senate."
"I am honored and humbled by this appointment today," said Cowan. "I pledge to you and the people of Massachusetts that during this interim period I will work as hard as humanly possible to perform my duties with the needs and aspirations of our state's citizens foremost in mind."
Cowan is connected to his past.
"I have a very fortunate opportunity and I don't talke it lightly," Cowan said in an exclusive phone interview. "I'm also a proud son of Yadkin County schools.
"Yes, I am very delighted for the education I received at Courtney Elementary, East Bend, and then Forbush," Cowan said. "If it wasn't for the teachers I had in Yadkin County I wouldn't be as centered and grounded as I am," he said. "From what I know about back at home, Yadkin County gave each child individual attention to help them accomplish the most possible."
Cowan said, "Yadkin County schools opened up the door to my mind."
In 2003, Boston Business Journal named Cowan to its list of "40 under 40", a select group of younger business and civic leaders. Cowan is the former president of the Massachusetts Black Lawyers Association and the Northeastern Law School Alumni Association. He serves on the Board of Trustees of Northeastern University.
Coman is married to wife Stacy, and they have two sons.

GSA Agrees to Show Terminated Small Business Contractors The Money…After A Year Long Investigation
If you are a small business that had your Federal Supply Schedule ("FSS") Contract unilaterally cancelled by the General Services Administration ("GSA") during the last six years for low sales, you might be in line to receive $2,500 from GSA. You might view that as a surprise Spring bonus (or perhaps Winter, depending on how long it takes GSA to process the payments due), but perhaps you should see it as something else. See here.

House Resolves to Crack Down On Tax Delinquent Contractors (Again)
After the defeat of similar legislation in the previous session of Congress, the unanimous passage of the Contracting and Tax Accountability Act of 2013 by the House of Representatives may mark a sea change in Washington's attitude towards tax-delinquent contractors. If approved, the Act would, with a few exceptions, prohibit the award of federal contracts above the simplified acquisition threshold to any contractor with an IRS lien for federal tax debt. The Act is the survivor of a pair of anti-tax delinquency bills before the House; the other, a measure to prohibit federal employment for anyone with outstanding tax debt, failed to secure the necessary two-thirds approval for passage. Yet, as the 407-0 House vote indicates, the contractor portion of the bills enjoys widespread bipartisan support.

The Last Word In Business
By editor
The animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is attacking Nintendo's new video game Super Mario 3-D Land. In the game, Super Mario sometimes wears the skin of a tanooki, which is a raccoon dog. Since tanooki are, in real life, killed for their fur, the group says the game "sends the message that it's OK to wear fur."

Slabs of raw meat, solar cells, pills, cookies...
When it comes to picking and placing the challenging stuff, a number of industries are turning to one robot type in particular, the Delta. The Delta robot has a unique design that allows it to handle objects delicately, quickly, and precisely.
Daring Delta Robot Design:
The Delta parallel robot is constructed with one rotational and three translational (x, y, z) movements. The arms of the Delta robot are parallelograms, attached with universal joints to a common base, then to one single EOAT platform. Most Delta robots have three parallelogram arms, but some models have four. Each arm is powered by its own motor.
Sweet Delta Moves:
The spider-like arms and general construction of the Delta robots allow them to move with extreme accuracy within a dome-shaped work envelope. They are capable of maintaining extremely low inertia while still reaching high speeds.
The pharmaceutical, food, solar power, and electronic industries appreciate this robot style's rapid transfer capabilities. The Delta-style robot is typically used for pick and place, assembly, and packaging jobs. It is normally installed in an inverted position.
The Birth of the Delta Robot:
Professor Reymond Clavel is credited with inventing and naming the Delta robot in the early 1980s. In 1999, ABB created their Flexpicker IRB 340, which was followed by an updated Flexpicker IRB 360. This particular Delta robot is capable of 150 picks per minute. Another robotics company, Adept, created their own Delta robot, the Adept s650H as well.
Current and Future Delta Robots:
While the Adept and ABB robots are the most common industrial Delta versions right now, this may soon change. For a while, the unique Delta design has remained protected with a series of patents. However, these patents are close to their expiration dates, leaving the door open for new Delta models (such as the FANUC spider robots).

Series: Made in the Image of God: The Theological Implications of Human Genomics
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
The Broken Made Whole
There is a sense in which we look at Temma and we want to affirm that she is made in the image of God by denying that the image of God has anything to do with her physical, material body.
Series: Chosen by God: Biblical Election and the Imago Dei
At the center of the theological and cultural controversy surrounding biological evolution stands the question: "How do human beings—creatures uniquely created in the image and likeness of God—fit into the scientific picture of life's origins and development?" In this three-part series, Dr. Joshua Moritz endeavors to address this question by exploring what Scripture means—and does not mean—by the designation "image and likeness of God".
Series: Scripture and the Authority of God
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.
A Lively God
In today's video, Rev. Lincoln Harvey discusses our desire to "domesticate" the liveliness and abundance of God. Harvey notes that the Trinity highlights both the manyness and oneness of God, which can be hard to Christians to fully understand.
Science or sola Scriptura?
So, for Driscoll, the choice is a simple dichotomy: Scripture or science. Scripture is the highest court of authority in all matters, and the role of believing scientists is to affirm Scripture. To fail to do so is to "exchange the truths of Scripture for the truths of science".
Art, Worship, Creation, and Imaginative Engagement
We should not be ashamed of the fact that our faith integrates spirit and body; our faith calls us to regard the stuff of creation in all of its materiality as good, and thus offers the best starting point for the practice and pleasure of art.
The Truthfulness of Scripture: Inerrancy, Part 1
Against the repeated claim that the doctrine of inerrancy arose first with Protestant orthodoxy, we could cite numerous examples from the ancient and medieval church. It was Augustine who first coined the term "inerrant," and Luther and Calvin can speak of Scripture as free from error.
B.B. Warfield, Biblical Inerrancy, and Evolution
During the late 19th century when critical views of Scripture came to prevail in American universities, Warfield was responsible for refurbishing the conviction that the Bible communicates revelation from God entirely without error. Yet while he defended biblical inerrancy, Warfield was also a cautious, discriminating, but entirely candid proponent of the possibility of evolution.
Understanding the Human Dimension of Scripture
Old Princeton and the Dutch Calvinists understood that the human dimension of Scripture—which pervades Scripture thoroughly—is not merely tolerable of a divine book, but a necessary component of what inspiration means.
B. B. Warfield and the "Human Side" of the Bible
With Christ, his humanity is essential to who he is. Likewise, the Bible's "human side" is an essential part of what Scripture is, and recognizing this has practical implications.
An Incarnational Model of Scripture
The Bible is no more a book dropped out of the sky than Jesus is some superman who flew down from heaven. Instead, just as Jesus is "God incarnate," both divine and human, the Bible is a book that speaks God's word and reflects the thoughts, ideas, and worldviews of the human authors.
Series: What Does "Image of God" Mean?
In this series, Pete Enns discusses what it means to be made in God's image according to Genesis 1:26-27. These verses show that humans are made in God's image in order to rule over all creation as representatives of God. He argues that humanity's image is not wrapped up in their soul, but in their role as caretakers. In this discussion, he mentions that God commands Israel to make no graven images to represent God because humans are living images themselves. Ultimately, Jesus is the perfect image of God, and humans are called to live in Christ.
No Slippery Slopes
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter addresses the "slippery slope" argument supported by many evangelicals and suggests that not only is this perspective flawed, but it also may prevent believers from appreciating the fullness of God's creation.
Inerrancy vs. Liberalism
In this video Conversation, Hunter explains that a view of scripture as the "inerrant Word of God" means that God is inerrant, not that the person interpreting the Bible is inerrant.
On What It Means To Be An Image Bearer
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright suggests that what the book of Genesis and the apostle Paul mean by humans "bearing the image of God" is less a static picture and more of a creative, dynamic proposition-- specifically, how we "reflect" God into the world.
Evolution and the Imago Dei
Genesis 1:26-27 reads: "Then God said, `Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.' So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."
How could humans have evolved and still be created in the "Image of God"?
The meaning of the "image of God" has been debated for centuries in the church. A common view is that the image of God refers to the human abilities that separate us from the animals. However, scientists have found that abilities like communication and rationality are also present in animals on a basic level. Plus, theologians do not see the image of God as human abilities. Some theologians see the image of God as our capacity for a relationship with God. Other theologians see it as our commission to represent God's kingdom on earth. Both of these theological positions are consistent with scientific evidence. Whether God created humanity through a miracle or through evolution, God gave us our spiritual capacities and calls us to bear his image.
(Updated June 25, 2012)
An Unfolding Creation
When we get stuck on the idea of having biological ancestors, we can miss the point that being made in the image of God is a relational quality, not a biological trait. We can communicate and have a relationship with God, and we can reflect his character and represent him to the rest of creation.
Series: Maker of Heaven and Earth
In his sermon, Dave Swaim discusses the early chapters of Genesis that seemingly contradict scientific evidence, and he suggests that Christians have simply asked the "wrong questions" about this ancient text, which has led to warfare between the two. In light of this, Swaim wraps up his sermon with the three concluding points that he feels sums up the Biblical truth of creation: there is an all-powerful God, he has a perfect plan, and he has given us his love through Jesus Christ.

OK. Thank you for your call.
What do the birds chirp at the Jews when they walk into a pet store?
"Cheap cheap! Cheap cheap!"
How was copper wire invented?
Two Jews fighting over a penny.
How was the Grand Canyon formed?
A Jew dropped a quarter down a gopher hole.
"Italians" as in people from Italy or people who have citizenship only in Italy, correct?
what about the potato niggers?
'Don't cry Don't raise your eye It's only teenage wasteland'
Howard: How can they ever replace your voice?
Roger: No that's Pete
In my experience, Indians (the red dot kind, not the tomahawk) out cheap Jews ten-fold
Gotta agree with you there. I worked at sears in the 90s and we were trying to cleAr out all the old suits and jackets. There was a sport coat marked down to $1.00. (Yes it was around for a long time) an Indian came up and asked me if I would take a dime for it! Of course at a retailer like that they don't negotiate so the guy didn't buy it.
Cheap cheap!
I used to work in retail & the ONLY times Indians shopped was during sale time. They would also, very frequently, make ridiculous complaints about their purchases -- returning items, bought on sale & worn to death, TWO years later & expect a full refund. They usually got it as well. I've never experienced such extreme & persistent cheapness from any other race or nationality.
Yeah. That run in has always stuck in my mind.
I have a yard sale usually once a year and my wife prices everything really cheap. We just want to get rid of the stuff and get a few cents back for our trouble and the Indians still bitch. Once they said under their breath they could get a better deal at k-mart, I politely grabbed the stuff they were going to buy and told them to leave and go to Kmart.
They weren't happy, neither was my wife but I had it will dealing with cheap shits at that point.
hmmm I don't know... name any waiter that is happy to see a black family sit down in his section... not the best tippers if you know what i mean.. and they bitch about the food or service in attempts to get comped
'Don't cry Don't raise your eye It's only teenage wasteland'
Howard: How can they ever replace your voice?
Roger: No that's Pete
tbh it really depends on what type of restaurant you work at
if you work at some shithole chain restaurant then you are gonna get fucked on your tips regardless
however, if you work at a fancy enough place then you (as a server) have that convenience of having good tippers just because most people who dine at "good" restaurants are affluent enough to realize that no one likes a shitty tipper...if that makes sense...
Mexican's are big tippers? Don't say that around my daughter that waitresses/bartends while going to college.
The above statement is being made of my own free will. This site neither condones nor agrees to anything I post but for my right to post what I feel.
In my experience (which was over 12 years) Mexicans were poor tippers (but not complainers), blacks were typically bad unless you ran into a guy that was throwing money around to look cool (which was a rarity)...and its true about the complaining with black people, it seemed like they were disappointed when they couldn't find anything to bitch about.
i am 100 percent italian and you are 100 percent correct

Union let strong start go to waste in loss to Kansas City
CHESTER — It was a storybook start to the 2013 season Philadelphia Union Saturday.
The rest of the story though — tales of missed opportunities and untimely defensive breakdowns — was alarmingly familiar.
The Union dominated the first half and had little to show for it. After the interval, they could barely find a foothold in the game, a 3-1 loss to Sporting Kansas City in the MLS opener at PPL Park.
For all their strong play against the reigning Eastern Conference champions, the Union entered halftime even thanks to Graham Zusi's 41st-minute tally.
That erased a goal in the 17th minute that marked Sebastien Le Toux's triumphant return to the club, his franchise-record 26th with the Union. The Frenchmen did well to control a lofted pass from Keon Daniel and fired a shot that Sporting KC's Jimmy Nielsen couldn't get enough of as it squeaked in.
"It was great and fantastic, I kind of never left here with my spirit kind of here and people like me a lot here and I like them just as much," Le Toux said. "Having my name said for the starting 11 it was a great reception and I could not ask for a better one. I am very thankful to them and I am just very happy to be back."
But from then on, the positives seemed to all be on the side of the visitors, with Oriol Rosell scoring in the 66th and Claudio Bieler in the 83rd to salt away a game the Union looked to have in their back pockets.
Even the early hero Le Toux was culpable. He missed a phenomenal chance in the 23rd minute, finding himself in space thanks to a Sheanon Williams run down the right flank. Le Toux had only Nielsen to beat, but he scuffed a shot wide of the near post. It was one of 17 shots the Union fired to Sporting Kansas City's seven, and it came against an All-Star keeper in Nielsen who looked less then comfortable between the posts in the opening 45 minutes.
With a side as strong as Sporting KC, the inability to kill off the game early left the Union susceptible to the odd bad break. They got one on either side of halftime, which ultimately did them in.
Some inopportune ball-watching gave Sporting KC (1-0-0, 3 points) essentially a 3-on-2 advantage in the box just before halftime. Benny Feilhaber's initial shot was straight into the gut of goalkeeper Zac MacMath. The rebound, though, found the boot of Graham Zusi, who lashed a shot into the roof of the net with MacMath stranded and defenders Jeff Parke and Raymon Gaddis helplessly manning the goalposts. Continued...
It was a goal that completely changed the complexion of the game.
"We took our foot off the gas for sure in that last little bit of the second half," Union manager John Hackworth said. "We felt like we created the chances and were dictating the game, and it's a couple tiny plays that seem so inconsequential, and yet they lead to something. … We had them on the ropes, and we let them off."
"What we didn't have to do was come out in the second half and chase the game," Sporting Kansas City boss and South Jersey native Peter Vermes said. "We knew that they were going to have to push forward to try to win it being that it was their home opener. It opened the game up for us a little bit."
The breaks continued to go against the Union after halftime. A borderline foul call on Williams after a clash of shoulders with substitute C.J. Sapong gave the visitors a free kick from 24 yards out. Zusi's curler found the head of an unmarked Rosell, and the Barcelona youth product buried one past MacMath, who came out to contest but couldn't get a fist to it.
"It was a really good ball in by Zusi," MacMath said. "I felt like it dipped a little bit, maybe with the wind. I thought I could get there in time, but their player got their first obviously and had an open net."
With the Union (0-1-0, 0 points) chasing an equalizer, Jack McInerney came on and provided a spark. His header across the face of goal nearly forced Aurelien Collin into an own goal in the 77th, and he called Nielsen into action two minutes later with a header the Danish goalkeeper chested away.
But the finishing blow that so evaded the Union in the first was found by Bieler in the 83rd. The highly touted Argentine forward collected a pass from Chance Myers at the top of the box on another move started by Zusi and buried a shot to the far post past MacMath, who was rooted to the spot.
It leaves the Union, energized from the start, sporting their new third jerseys in the first season opener at home in the franchise's four years of existence, facing an early regrouping process.
"We're extremely disappointed," Hackworth said. "We feel like we let the fans down. We feel like we let ourselves down. In a game where we felt like we should have been up by at least a couple of goals to give one up in the last five minutes of the first half is so far from what we have worked on and worked very hard to try to negate."

"They are a day late and several trillion dollars short of solving this problem," said Florance. "It's an embarrassment."
If a deal is announced after U.S. markets close today, global investors will not have an opportunity to respond until the Shanghai Composite and Hang Seng markets open for trading Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET.
All major global markets will be closed Jan. 1 in observance of New Year's Day.
Despite all the uncertainty, U.S. stocks have had a pretty good year overall, with all three indexes up between 7% and 16%. By comparison, stocks ended 2011 almost exactly where they began the year, although there was a lot of movement in between.
Stocks rallied in the first quarter of 2012 on hopes the Federal Reserve would step up its stimulus policies. But the market took a tumble in May as concerns about Europe's debt crisis resurfaced and the U.S. economy stalled. After bouncing back in the summer, stocks hit a high for the year in September, when the Fed announced more asset purchases.
In November, stocks took a hit after Obama beat out Republican challenger Mitt Romeny in the race for the White House. Investors have been sidelined by the fiscal cliff ever since, with stocks ending little changed in December.
The ongoing battle over taxes and spending in Washington will continue to cause volatility in the market over the short term, said Florance. But he said stocks are still priced at attractive levels relative to expectations for corporate earnings next year.
"We see a pretty healthy environment for stock investors next year," said Florance. "We're not exuberant, but modestly bullish."
On Friday, European markets ended mixed. Stocks in London and Frankfurt fell, while the Paris market advanced. Asian stocks got a boost from strong manufacturing data out of China. The Shanghai Composite, one of the world's worst performing indexes, managed to eke out a 3% gain for the year and the Nikkei, which was closed Monday, ended the year with a 20% gain.
Meanwhile, oil prices eased and gold prices edged higher. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose to 1.72%. The U.S. dollar gained versus the euro and the yen, but fell against the British pound.
