"I don't think he took the prep sessions as seriously as he needed to," said one source close to the White House, adding that some there have made no secret of their unhappiness with Hagel's substandard performance.
Hagel went through three mock hearings, but some occurred before the inauguration, which could have been part of the problem, the source said.
In any case, he added, "Hagel made it easier for some to oppose him."
Another source close to the White House said that "short of something huge," President Barack Obama is likely to stick by his nominee.
And so will Democrats unless, as one put it, "we get a clear signal from the White House."
That hasn't happened, but the longer Hagel hangs out there without a confirmation vote, the more difficult the road becomes.
However, Republicans opposing Hagel have problems of their own. They don't have the votes necessary to support a filibuster, if a Republican senator should decide to go that route. GOP senators have hinted at a filibuster, but no one has stepped forward to commit to one.

By Victoria, age 13 (and Mary Pannell, my mom) (Contact)
To be delivered to: Village Voice Media
My name is Victoria, and I'm 13 years old. I recently found out that girls as young as me are being sold for sex by people using a classifieds website called Backpage.com.
You can buy and sell stuff on Backpage.com, look for an apartment, or find a job. That is all cool. But pimps are using Backpage.com to advertise girls my age to men twice their age and older, and that's not okay.
It makes me so upset to think that every night while I sleep safely in my bed, there are other girls who are spending the night being raped and abused.
Backpage.com is owned by Village Voice Media. They read the news – they know that pimps have advertised girls for sex in the adult section of their website, but so far Village Voice Media has refused to take down the section. That's why, with the help of my mom, I started a petition to tell Backpage.com to close the adult section so that girls aren't bought and sold for sex by sick people using the site.
I recently became friends with a girl who was advertised by her pimp on Backpage.com. She's 13 years old just like me. What happened to her is so scary. I don't want any other girl to experience that.
Kids deserve to play, to be free, and to go to bed each night and have sweet dreams. Let's help them do that. Please sign my petition and share it with all your friends.
--Victoria, age 13 (and Mary Pannell, my mom)

Gallus Detox Centers, established in March 2011 in Prescott, Arizona, announces the opening of its second facility in Texas. "Our newest center in Aubrey will continue our mission of small, medical drug and alcohol detox facilities providing unparalleled patient care."
DALLAS, March 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Gallus Detox Centers, based in Prescott, Arizona, announces the opening of its second facility in Texas. "Our newest center in Aubrey will continue our mission of small, medical drug and alcohol detox facilities providing unparalleled patient care, excellent service and upscale amenities including private rooms and gourmet meals. After opening in Houston, there were inquiries about offering medical detox near Dallas, so we're excited to begin accepting patients in April," says Dave Long, Business Director.
Most detox treatment is provided in rehab focused facilities, offering only "cold-turkey" or holistic methods for this critical phase. Gallus Detox is among the few nationwide providing medically managed treatment monitored 24/7 by a medical team. The Gallus Detox Method is dedicated to patient safety and alleviating uncomfortable and potentially life-threatening withdrawal symptoms. This unique method was developed by Dr. Patrick Gallus. "At Gallus detox centers, every patient receives a treatment plan designed for that person's needs, emotions, substances of abuse, and outside concerns. The customized detox program is implemented by board certified physicians, registered nurses and mental health professionals," Dr. Gallus says. "When asked about the typical length of stay, the average is 4.5 days but each patient is unique. Unlike most detox facilities who isolate their patients, cutting them off from the outside world, Gallus provides HDTV and Wifi and encourages patients to stay in touch with family and friends for added support. "
The Gallus Detox treatment program is based on many factors that change constantly during treatment. Through the use of intravenous medication, cardiac monitoring and 24-hour video monitoring, the medical team is able to adapt to the patient's specific needs on a moment's notice to ensure utmost safety and comfort. The ability to respond quickly throughout treatment is a decided advantage over slow-acting oral medications used in some facilities. Detoxing from alcohol or drug abuse safely and comfortably is essential to a patient's positive outcome and attitude toward the future. At Gallus Detox Centers, we always assist our patients with planning for after-care and the next step on their road to recovery.
Dr. Patrick Gallus is available to all media outlets for interviews or questions.

St. Mary Magdalene and the insanity of modern Catholic biblical scholarship
18 comments:
- I am not Spartacus said...
"Thus, the ancient and nearly unanimous tradition of the Latin Church is completely ignored by the modern Catholic "scholars"."
Excellent point, Father.
And it is worth nothing that, while writing as a private theologian, the Holy Father's " Jesus of Nazareth "books (I bought only the first one) abound with protestant sources and raise and appear to settle such captious issues as to whether or not John really wrote his Gospel.
According to The Holy Father, he didn't. Some anonymous "John" wrote it.
The most modern text about Biblical exegesis I dare to read is Dom Orchard's. "A Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture."
This is a painful and sad thing to admit but after reading his first book, I will never read another book by The Holy Fathers if it has to do with Biblical exegesis. - July 22, 2011 at 4:55 AM
You mention that the Navarre Bible, is occasionally weak on particular points, which Bible commentary would you recommend as a better choice.
God bless,
Jerome in South Carolina - July 22, 2011 at 6:38 AM
- Reginaldus said...
@Jerome in SC,
The Navarre Bible is generally very good.
The best easy commentary (on the Gospels) is the Catena Aurea of St. Thomas Aquinas, which is entirely made up of quotations from the Fathers of the Church.
Also, the commentary given with most editions of Douay-Rheims is very good (if a bit short and simple). [I believe, but I could be remembering incorrectly, that this is (taken from) the Haydock Bible Commentary]
Still, I would generally recommend the Navarre Bible ... just keep your eyes open! :) - July 22, 2011 at 8:36 AM
- Reginaldus said...
I am not Spartacus,
It is certainly clear that the Holy Father is not attempting to put himself within the Catholic Tradition of Biblical Scholarship ... he seems much more intent on beating the modernist historical-critical scholars at their own game ... still, I am quite certain (since he seems himself as such a strong Augustinian and Bonaventurian) that he would ultimately have to side with the 1800 year tradition of the Fathers, Doctors, saints, scholastics, theologians, and exegetes over that of the (mostly heretical [i.e. protestant] "scholars") of the past 200 years. - July 22, 2011 at 8:39 AM
- Reginaldus said...
I am not Spartacus,
I just checked the bibliography which Pope Benedict provides at the end of the first volume ...
there he cites only three Church Fathers (in fact only three individuals from before the 20th Century): St. Bernard, St. Cyprian, St. Augustine ... each of them are cited only one time and for only one work.
Particularly insightful are the Holy Father's words on John's Gospel: "From among all the literature on St. John's Gospel my principal source has been the three-volume commentary by Rudolf Schnackenburg."
Now, as such a huge fan of Augustine and as a self-professed Augustinian, I am more than certain that Pope Benedict is aware of St. Augustine's commentary on John and of the fact that this is widely recognized as the greatest theological work of the early Church. Certainly, the Pope has read Auguistine's masterpiece -- probably many times!
Moreover, St. Bonaventure's commentary on John is also a masterpiece -- and we all know that Benedict sees himself as a disciple of Bonaventure.
Why then would he not use these works in his book? Because he is not trying to set himself within the Catholic Tradition of Biblical Scholarship ... he is trying to instead to set out and defeat the rationalists and modernists at their own game!
[I myself am not interested in defeating the historical critical method with the same method, but it has long been the pet project of Ratzinger ...]
Finally, as to whether the Holy Father thinks that John the Apostle is an Evangelist ... I am certain that he celebrates the feast of St. John, Apostle and Evangelist -- whatever he says in his book, I am certain that he prays to St. John as an Apostle and Evangelist. - July 22, 2011 at 9:02 AM
- I am not Spartacus said...
Dear Father Reginaldus. I readily concede you are far more informed about these matters than am I and so I hope you are spot on in your assessment of Our Holy Father's intent.
Still, is it not distressing to Peter and Pam Pewdwella that protestant sources seem to predominate?
Well, let me rewrite that question as a simple declarative statement.
It greatly troubles me that The Holy Father so often sources his opinions in protestant exegesis.
For Lord's sake, every single word of the New Testament was written by a Catholic and the New Testament is the sole defender and explained of it but Peter and Pam Pewdwella are going to be encouraged to go out and purchase the books of the protestants who so prominently appear in the Pope's books.
In any event, I have written what has me troubled and you have been gracious enough to reply and so I will now drop it. - July 22, 2011 at 11:53 AM
I am curious concerning the invocation of St. Augustine. Both reginaldus and Fr. Cornelius a' Lapide cite him in support of the thesis that Mary of Bethany and Mary Magdalene are the same person. Neither gives a direct source.
I did my best to look, and what I found was in St. Augustine's Harmony of the Gospels (apologies for the catty sidenote from the 19th century editor), where he does argue that the same woman anointed Jesus twice, and that it was Mary of Bethany, but I cannot see that he establishes a link to Mary Magdalene.
Perhaps I'm overlooking something.
FrH - July 22, 2011 at 1:38 PM
- Reginaldus said...
I too am unclear on all this ... certainly Augustine identifies Mary of Bethany with the Penitent Woman, but I don't know where he makes the final jump to the Magdalene (though it would be natural since she is closely connected by St. Luke between Luke 7 and 8).
Gregory the Great gives the strongest argument for the connection of all three.
Still, St. Augustine does all the hard work ... if Mary of Bethany and the Penitent are one and the same, then we will very quickly conclude (with Gregory and the whole Western tradition) that Mary of Bethany is the Magdalene.
The Navarre Bible (and all the rest) completely dismisses even the connection St. Augustine makes -- they say, two anointings MUST mean two women ... quite silly indeed. - July 22, 2011 at 2:31 PM
I looked for a reference in St. Cyprian without success (which doesn't prove it isn't there). That leaves us with no definite recorded statement that Mary of Bethany = Mary Magdalene before St. Gregory.
The problem with waiting for St. Gregory to make the link is that it means that no one said anything about the connection for 550 years. I realize that arguments from silence are tenuous things at best, and I further realize that St. Gregory was not the sort to chase off after a whim, but it does make the case less solid than it appears from Fr. Cornelius's presentation.
FrH - July 22, 2011 at 3:09 PM
Hi Father, may God bless you!
I personally think, and feel, that we are dealing with one Mary here.
Relatedly, I am a staunch believer that the Magdalen was indeed, as is, or at least was..., commonly held, a very rank sinner, a prostitute, whose conversion, in its grandeur, reveals the depth of Christ's salvific power. For me, she has to have been that prostitute in order for Christ's mercy and love to be fully exalted. Total goat to total sheep. With God, not only for God, all things are possible.
Of course nowadays her past is being "rethought", and in so doing, as she is blanched out, the exaltation of Him for what he did in her and for her is also being subtly blanched out, too. - July 22, 2011 at 4:07 PM

JEROME. Not that he was a leper yet, but having been so, and having been healed by the Saviour, he retained the appellation to shew forth the power of Him who healed him.
RABANUS. Alabaster is a kind of marble, white but marked with veins of different colours, which was in use for vessels to hold ointment, because it was said to preserve it from corruption.
JEROME. Another Evangelist (John 12:3.) instead of 'alabastrum' has 'nardum pisticam,' that is, genuine, unadulterated.
RABANUS. From the Greek πίστις, faith, whence 'pisticus,' faithful. For this ointment was pure, unadulterated.
ORIGEN. Some one may perhaps think that there are four different women of whom the Evangelists have written, but I rather agree with those who think that they are only three; one of whom Matthew and Mark wrote, one of whom Luke, another of whom John.
JEROME. For let no one think that she who anointed His head and she who anointed His feet were one and the same; for the latter washed His feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair, and is plainly said to have been a harlot. But of this woman nothing of this kind is recorded, and indeed a harlot could not have at once been made deserving of the Lord's head.
AMBROSE. (in Luc. 7, 37.) It is possible therefore that they were different persons, and so all appearance of contradiction between the Evangelists is removed. Or it is possible that it was the same woman at two different times and two different stages of desert; first while yet a sinner, afterwards more advanced.

- Kate said...
Excellent post Father.
I once wrote an essay for a theology course taking pretty much the same line, and got a bollocking for it, reflecting the unfortunate rejection of tradition by modern exegetes!
Your point about the occasional uncritical acceptance of such material by the Navarre Commentary are on the mark too. I use it in the absence of anything better, but squirm every time I come across something that contradicts Pontifical Bible Commission rulings and the tradition...
On the Holy Father, I would note that his book is not magisterial, and as you say, is an attempt to some extent to show the problems of modern methodologies by using them. But when he does talk magisterially, he is always careful to line up with tradition.
On the question of the authorship of St John's Gospel for example, I would refer I am not Sparatus to his three General Audiences on St John back in 2007. In the second one, he doesn't hesitate to discuss the Gospel in the same context as the letters of St John and attribute them to the apostle.
In the third one (on Revelation), he alludes to the debate but is very careful indeed:
"And let us immediately note that while neither the Fourth Gospel nor the Letters attributed to the Apostle ever bear his name, the Book of Revelation makes at least four references to it (cf. 1: 1, 4, 9; 22: 8). It is obvious, on the one hand, that the author had no reason not to mention his own name, and on the other, that he knew his first readers would be able to precisely identify him..."
He then goes on to allude to the third century and later debates about his identity, but without lending any support whatsoever to doubts on this front. - July 22, 2011 at 8:27 PM
Hi Father,
Excellent post! In grammar school the nuns taught us that the three Marys were the same person. To 'spartacus, I'm sure Fr. Reginaldus will agree that what the Pope is doing in using protestant sources along with his comprehensive mastery of the subject, is to adhere to the rules of academic debate: you go onto the field of your opponent to frame your argument. This way you can "reason" with him, and please God, if your opponent is a man of good will, he will admit that you have won on his turf. God bless you. - July 23, 2011 at 6:02 AM
- Reginaldus said...
Steve Ray,
Augustine clearly connects the woman in Luke 7 (Penitent) with the woman in John 11 (Mary of Bethany) -- commenting on John 11:1-2, from the Catena Aurea:
Augustine: "John here confirms the passage in Luke, where this is said to have taken place in the house of one Simon a pharisee: Mary had done this act therefore on a former occasion. That she did it again at Bethany is not mentioned int he narrative of Luke, but is in the other three Gospels."
I recognize that this tradition is not much older than Augustine (it is only hinted at by Ambrose) ... but it is striking to note how quickly it was accepted by all of good will ... Gregory the Great developed it still further (connecting Mary of Bethany more clearly with Mary Magdalene) ... and so it has been received by the Church even to our own day: Since we do not celebrate a separate feast of Mary of Bethany but rather commemorate the Magdalene such that Martha of Bethany falls on her octave day.
I do not argue that one simply must accept the Mary Magdalen is Mary of Bethany ... I only state that to dismiss this tradition out of hand (as though it were utterly absurd) is insanity and intellectual suicide. - July 23, 2011 at 8:08 AM
- Reginaldus said...
Thanks for the comment and for the info about Pope Benedict!
Peace to you, and keep up the fight! - July 23, 2011 at 8:09 AM
- Reginaldus said...
It is interesting to note that the first written evidence of a belief that Jesus appeared first to his Mother (rather than to Mary Magdalene) comes with St. Anselm (the reference to St. Ambrose is incorrect).
Now, this belief [to which I am quite open] is accepted by nearly all people ... and it only became popular in the Middle Ages.
Why then are people so critical of the fact that Augustine and Gregory the Great are the two principal proponents of the connection between the Penitent, Mary of Bethany, and the Magdalene? These two are much much earlier than Anselm!
As far as traditions go, the Mary Magdalene tradition is one of the oldest, and has a strong Scriptural basis. [it is much older and more well founded in Scripture than the tradition of the apparition to our Lady after the Resurrection, for example]
If we think of Mary Magdalene as the penitent who converts (as nearly all the faithful have since the time of the later Fathers), then we have connected her with the Penitent woman of Luke 7. But Luke 7 is pretty clearly connected with John 11 and 12.
Mary of Bethany is almost certainly the Penitent of Luke 7 -- she who anointed Jesus.
And it is likewise almost certain (even in popular devotion of the people) that Mary Magdalene is the Penitent woman.
Therefore, the Magdalene and the sister of Martha are most likely one and the same -- and this tradition is both ancient and wide-spread. - July 23, 2011 at 9:23 AM
Excellent post. I'm afraid you have answered your own questions about "why" modern Catholic biblical scholars ignore the Church Fathers. I was told in school this is because the Church Fathers were not smart enough to use the historical critical method (they didn't use the word "smart" enough, but that is what they meant). THAT is why everything that came before is ignored. Because the historical critical method was supposed to make the exegesis of previous generations totally obsolete.
I'm not kidding.
That is what the professors were saying.

Hello Father,
I followed this link from your March 30, 2012, post on the last week of Jesus's life.
I have done personal investigation into the Scriptural accounts and there is very probable evidence that:
(1) there were two Anointings that
(2) took place in Bethany, in the same house,
(3) of a man named Simon, who was a Leper, and 'surnamed' Lazarus. (i.e. Simon, the Leper, and Lazarus are the same person) and thus,
(4) this means that Mary of Bethany (sister of Martha, brother of Simon), the "Sinful Woman", and "the Woman", mentioned in all 4 Gospel accounts are all the same person as well.
The alternate views, e.g. three anointings, multiple Simons and multiple Marys, are exegetically WEAK and lousy.
HOWEVER, along with FrH, I have not seen Fr Laptide or anyone else show the *exegetical* rationale for why Mary Magdalen must be included here. Magdalene is only mentioned in Luke 8:2, so at most people are saying it's a maybe that she is the same Mary of Luke 7 at the Anointing. Magdalene is said to have had demons, where as Mary Beth is said to be a sinner. Those could be synonymous, but that's implicit evidence at best.
Another piece of *implicit* evidence that I don't see you mention is what the Catholic Encyclopedia (I think) mentioned, and that is this that Jesus concludes the anointings by saying this is preparation for His burial and that "wherever the Gospel is preached this story of this woman will be told" (Mt 26:12f; Mk 14:8f; Jn 12:7). The only Mary of any prominence at the Resurrection accounts is Mary Magdalene, who appears out of nowhere since she's not (really) mentioned earlier in the Gospels. It could be implicitly argued that Jesus rewarded these Anoinitings by letting this same Mary Magdalene be the first to witness His Resurrection. This would be fitting, but again not 'direct' proof.

[Solved] How to stretch my page and get scroll bar when zooming in?
I couldn't find a way to describe my situation but when zooming in the page it's not zooming with all its contents , just look to the image and you will know what I mean :
I can't provide you with css code becuase of my company policy can you tell me what's wrong in my style ! html and body don't grow when zoooming like other sites ! I want the whole page with all its contents get bigger when zooming abd a csroll bar would appear . I'm still a beginner and I'm lost in attributes
It's going to be really hard to help without the code.
Your image doesn't really show us the problem and, anyway, it looks like you DO have scrollbars.
the table is going outside the html body content . I'll give you an example ! my page now is like this site . try to zooming-in here this page . I want the zooming to be like http://stackoverflow.com scroll I'm talking about is in the bottom of the window .
I don't get a scrollbar on stackoverflow when zooming until I get to 200%, which, I guarantee, no-one will ever do.
If it's a table then that is probably the problem but, again, without the code we can't play with it to try things out.
there is problem with margin . have you use margin or top left right to put space between two div ?
use margin
I have many css files and I don't know which one I should show you its code . any way here it is :
body{font-size: 11pt;color: #333333;font-family: Calibri,"Times New Roman";} a{text-decoration: none} h3{border-bottom:1px solid #A19B9E;color: #c77405;font-style: italic;} label{font-weight: bold;color: #c77405;font-style: italic;} #Page{width:100%;margin:0;padding:0;min-width:994px;height:100%;} #Header{width:100%;height:60px;background-color:#FFFFFF;} #Header{background:url(/images/Logo.png) no-repeat;} #Header .menu {float:right} #Header .menu a {color:#c77405;text-decoration: none;} #Header .menu a:hover {color:#eb8f00;text-decoration: underline;} #Header .welcome {float:right;margin:0 10px 0 10px;font-style: italic;font-size: 10pt;} #Loading{display:none;background:#FFFFFF url('images/loading.gif') no-repeat center;z-index:1000;} #DataForm{display:none;} #NavBar{border:0;height:30px;padding:0;text-align: center;vertical-align: middle;} #MainPage{width:100%;margin:0;padding:0;background:url('images/MainPage.jpg') repeat-x;} #MainPage #SideBar{height: 100%;width:220px;margin:0;padding-top:20px;} #MainPage #SideBar h2{font-size: 11pt;padding-top:5px;padding-bottom: 5px;padding-left: 25px;} #MainPage #SideBar ul{list-style: none;font-size: 10pt;margin: 0;padding: 0 ;} #MainPage #SideBar ul li{padding: 2px;cursor: pointer; } #MainPage #SideBar ul li a:hover{color:#e78f08;text-decoration: underline;} #MainPage #SideBar ul li h3{font-size:10pt;cursor:default;margin: 5px} #MainPage #Container{padding:20px;width:74%;height: 100%;overflow: auto;} #MainPage #msg {display: none;max-width: 300px;} #MainPage #Result{height: 100%;width: 100%;min-width:610px;min-height:300px; max-height: inherit;padding-top:20px;} #MainPage #Result h3{border-bottom:1px solid #A19B9E;color: #c77405;font-style: italic;} #Footer {display: inline-block;width:100%;text-align: center;font-size: 12px;font-style: italic;font-family: serif;color:#787878;} #toolbar{margin: 0;padding: 0;} ul#ListToolBar li {cursor: pointer;list-style: none outside none;margin: 2px;padding: 4px;position: relative;} #Final{border-collapse: collapse;width:100%;} #Final tr td{vertical-align: top;margin: 0;padding: 0;border-color: #d3d3d3;} #Final tr.ui-state-default td{padding: 4px;} #Final table tr td{padding: 2px;} #Final .TopBorder{border-top:1px solid #d3d3d3} #Final .Primery{color:#9FAFD1} #Final .center{text-align: center; } #InsertForm h3{font-size: 12pt;} .ObjectData{min-width: 550px;} .red{ background-color:#994d53; color: #ffffff; }

This worries me! ¬
I have many css files
I can't see any styles / properties for the table (unless it has an ID) so my guess is that there is some inline styling. Until we can see a live site it's really going to be hard to help.
if you are develoing a product you will have many style sheets :D !! what's strange in that ! I can't give a link . I thought you guys are experts who can find the bug from an image it's a position or overflow or somthing I still don't know in CSS yet ! thanks for help any way
I solved it :
body html { position: fixed; width: 100%; overflow:scroll; }
but the scroll is not visible :(
When I am developing a web page I know where all the parts of my page are in relation to the CSS.
You may have added a fix but I doubt if you have actually resolved the underlying issue. My understanding is (and I'm sure others will chime in if i am wrong) is that tables don't scale/zoom as you might expect and that has to be taken into account when doing your code.
I'm not the ine who wrote the stylesheets . I'm just using them . and I was asked to fix this problem
http://jsbin.com/apane6/14 it's my problem !! I want to get rid of this problem . I want the whole page which contains many tabs and tables inside tabs to grow together . thats simple ...
I am really struggling to get my head around what you're talking about?
I'm really sorry :$ I just want my page to be like stackoverflow.com when zooming in . but style I have (which I didn't write) do as you see in the image above . html and body don't get bigger they are always in the size of my browser window like our page we are posting in :D the table is a dependent component and it has its own style the problem here appears ! zoom in . table gets out of the tab :D I was asked to fing why my tab is not growing also like the table does :D I hope I made my question clear now
The Jsbin seems to work fine zoomed and is also pretty responsive (as tables go).
Here's my question.
How MUCH do you have to zoom in before you can't see all the data.
This could be a could be a problem that doesn't need a solution.
Once again, until we can see a live site...
"I thought you guys are experts who can find the bug from an image"
welp, i guess you were wrong: http://css-tricks.com/forums/discussion/21516/a-guide-to-using-codepen-help-us-help-you-/p1
you are so right . you can't help without seeing what I'm talking about and I'm not allowed to show you local code . I asked our designer here in company and he didn't know what's wrong . he said I should know how zooming works in firefox to know why the tabs of jequery is always getting their width from brower width . any help in that ?
I wrote some code here's somthing similar to my problem : http://jsfiddle.net/U2YkF/11/
please help me :( I tried many ways and I had two results : if I want to make my site like this site : all elements inside html and body I have to make width:100% for html and body and not specify any width for any element (table) inside html and body . second way (which I was asked to do ) : I have to give html and body width of the table to keep it always (keep the table) inside html and body . but that's so wrong !! beacause I have to make my site for all screen sizes . I want the page to expand when zooming or when width of tables is large the body and html goes wider too
if you are develoing a product you will have many style sheets :D !! what's strange in that !
Nothing strange with that. However there is something wrong: you shouldn't have multiple stylesheets in the production environment.
I thought you guys are experts who can find the bug from an image
We are front-end developer. Not magicians.
okay I'm sorry , I'm not the one who wrote those stylesheets . I'm just trying to find errors and I'm a beginner and here's my pain
maybe this's called a fluid width of table
Solution A: limit the width of content within the table.
Solution B: give the table's parent element overflow-x: auto; (and make sure it also has a width defined).
That'll make scrollbar for the table's parent element so you'll be scrolling the table horizontally instead of the whole page.
I was asked to scroll the whole page when zooming not only the table , also I thought It's wrong to give the table a width (for example : 1200px) beacuase I don't know what screen would be used to display my site !
I think I found my solution :
$('html').css('width',$(window).attr('innerWidth')); $('html').css('overflow-x','scroll') $('html').css('position','absolute')

Belief in God in an Age of Science: John Polkinghorne, Part One
The world is not full of items stamped "made by God"—the Creator is more subtle than that—but there are two locations where general hints of the divine presence might be expected to be seen most clearly. One is the vast cosmos itself, with its fifteen-billion-year history of evolving development following the big bang. The other is the "thinking reed" of humanity, so insignificant in physical scale but, as Pascal said, superior to all the stars because it alone knows them and itself.

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."

Scientists Tell Their Stories: George Murphy
During his seminary education, Dr. Murphy also gained a deeper understanding of Luther's theology of the cross, and he realized that it's really the best way to approach the science and theology dialogue.
A Pastor's Approach to Science
Since the sermon is the main component used to build the congregation's collective approach to understanding how the church relates to the world, I want to take a few moments to lay out what has worked in my preaching and what has not when it comes to science, and more specifically, the subject of evolution.

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?"

Series: Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople
The six-part series by Dr. Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise with their pastors when introduced to the teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. As a pastor and evangelist, Keller takes these concerns seriously and offers suggestions for addressing them without requiring believers to adopt a particular view or accept a definitive answer.

In today's video, Michael Ramsden discusses the importance and meaning of mystery in the Bible.
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.
Saturday Sermon: The Failure of Religion
In the last verses of Romans 2, the Apostle Paul relates the "failure of religion because of the terrible beauty of the Law" to the need for a regenerate heart.
Confidence and Slippery Slopes
In today's video, Pastor Brian McClaren notes that the metaphor "slippery slopes" is problematic, because we often assume that we are on the top of the slope to begin with, when in fact changing our views may help us ascend the slope, or to reach a new peak of understanding on the other side.
Saturday Sermon: John Piper on Genesis 1:26-28
In this message, John Piper, one of America's most loved pastors explores the sense in which creation "begs for completeness."
Saturday Sermon: Heart of Darkness
In the Garden of Eden, Eve is tempted to put her own desires ahead of God's call for her life. The serpent tells her that if she eats of the fruit she can become like God: she, in essence, can become the master of her own fate.
Saturday Sermon: The First Wedding Day
The ordained and blessed tradition of marriage is established in Genesis 2: 18-25. This passage communicates important ideas, Dr. Keller affirms, about both marriage seeking and marriage executing. When considered, these concepts will allow one to be successful in both areas.

Only 2 characters can save this manga from the shit hole , Kakashi and Orochimaru !!
Simply amazing. For the past month, this manga has been notin' but action. A little dialogue appears and the majority of you ***** endlessly, like children who have to eat their veggies first. What happen to y'all? That you must call people "idiots" because they like this chapter? Bullied? Dumped? Secretly gay and afraid to admit it? So sad. I use to love to come here to discuss plots and theories, but it seems the unhappy twerps whom life got the better of now dominant this site. Too bad.
"Allied Shinobi Jutsu? I'd say that's a bit of a forced interpretation." - Madara that guy has some of the best dialogue in the series. Otherwise, aside from the plot holes already mentioned (kekkei genkai, like sharingan and Hashirama's cells, are apparently being traded around like crack, Shikkaku knowing Obito's limit, etc) if the army actually beats this thing so easily, then imma rage. Has Kishi forgotten that this creature created the WORLD??? It just has to blink to blow away all the dust and insects. Also, Obito and Madara just sitting up there (Yeah, we should really get around to killing these guys. Yup. We should beat them already. Just let me get comfortable while they keep attacking us first. Let's get to it. AAAANNNNNY second now. Just a little longer..." Just go ahead and attack already!!! Gosh, the plot armor surrounding the army is so thick, you can smell it through the screen. Taijutsu users against Madara? hahahaha... yeah right. Am i the only one that thinks the bad guys should win? Anything other than that is just straight up trolling of 610+ chapters. I personally wouldn't mind being in a world where everything goes right.
I feel that if Sasuke joins the fight that it'll become a triple threat, SASUKE & ORO vs. MADARA & OBITO vs. NARUTO & THE SHINOBI ALLIANCE
Originally Posted by kmw1811 I feel that if Sasuke joins the fight that it'll become a triple threat, SASUKE & ORO vs. MADARA & OBITO vs. NARUTO & THE SHINOBI ALLIANCE where did this theory come from that sasuke would ever team up, sasuke just needed information and orochimaru is the only one who could help.
Originally Posted by kmw1811 I feel that if Sasuke joins the fight that it'll become a triple threat, SASUKE & ORO vs. MADARA & OBITO vs. NARUTO & THE SHINOBI ALLIANCE Well the chapter where he decided to revive Orochimaru was titled the third power. The question is why would he care enough to come to this battle. As for this chapter, it was average, it did what it was supposed to do. The Shinobi Alliance took the 10 tails temporarily out of the fight and forced Madara and Obito into direct confrontations and we got foreshadowing on what is to come.
well that was 15 mins of my life i will never get back...
Originally Posted by Great Sage of Uchiha God your so stupid, you clearly need to go re-read the manga cause sasuke even says he would kill madara, Eff Obito he is pawn. Yall look at sasuke coming to save Naruto as a change of heart no retard, it's not about saving naruto it is about killing Madara and stoping the curse of hatred. GTFO with that crap, sasuke having a change of heart smh, go back and re-read what happen 5-6 months ago. It's funny you call me a fanboy but your sorry ass doesn't even know who i'm a fanboy of, do me a favor and don't respond. Only smart guy in this thing!! I think all these people just forget things that happened if it happened longer than a week ago.
Funny how Madara could just use the ultimate susanoo and wipe out the entire shinobi alliance with one swipe of it's sword.
worst chapter ever. **** off kishi

This has to be the most annoying, plot hole bit in the whole chapter. Read both bubbles. How the heck does he know that Obito's intangibility only lasts for 5 minutes ? This quote sums it all up Also, this whole Shinobi attack thing is pathetic, like Madara put it This quotes sums up the whole chapter really, made me LOL so much .................................................. .............................................. What was actually good The most promising panel in the whole chapter was : It actually gives us hope that there is awesomeness yet to come The Sarutobi technique was also a highlight of the chapter Other than that the chapter made me go F*ck you Kishi for making me wait a whole week for that sh*t. This I also hate how the shinobi alliance are so easily beating them. Maybe things will make a 180 degree turn the next chapter.
I have a question for them who hate Kishi? You think you can write Naruto better than him?
Nice chapter. only boring for those who want action all the time
It's such a bullshit chapter. It's no longer a manga. Kishi is ****ing blending everything together just to let it through. This means that manga will soon end, because he probably ran out of ideas. There is no way it was planned by Kishi. At the beginning he had passion. Creating distinct countries and villages to make characters unique and awesome was a great idea. It made Naruto one of the best mangas ever. However, Kishi was probably squeezed by social pressure. The majority rule? Are you Kishi that stupid? I expected shit from everyone but no from you. You disappointed me.
I gave this chapter a 3 and that should probably be a 2. I'm so sick of Naruto's lame speeches and wasted of time talking. He was warned about trying to talk to Madara and Obito yet he continues to do so. I would love to see him get his but kicked simply because he annoys me with all that talk. I dont see why Madara didnt just wipe the floor with him any way. If I were Madara I would pull out the flower jutsu and knock out half of the army. Then whip out Susanoo and obliterate the rest. Any way back to my review. I loved seeing Darui's clan and their bloodline limit in action. If I were a naruto character I would want to be half Senju half Darui's blood line! I also enjoyed finally seeing that there were more members in the Sarutobi clan. Too bad they are all fodder except Konohamaru. Over all this chapter annoyed me and felt like a waste. This chapter could have been summed up in 5 pages.
Originally Posted by kibainuzuka I have a question for them who hate Kishi? You think you can write Naruto better than him? I dont hate Kishi. I appreciate and thank him for creating Naruto. That being said. I came up with a much better twist that Obito being Madara so to answer your question yes. From the reveal of Obito being Madara I could have done better than Kishi. I wish I was an assistant write for him or something. He seems to need help with the story right now.

Not bad...
very boring. those combos are so gayish. more like power rangers than naruto eh -.- it's pretty obvious that the combo will fail since the jubi as well as obito and madara don't seem to be bothered or worried. anyway, gave it a 3.. kkthxbye

Specially with data collected while Kakashi and Naruto were fighting Obito.

GTFO with that crap, sasuke having a change of heart smh, go back and re-read what happen 5-6 months ago. It's funny you call me a fanboy but your sorry ass doesn't even know who i'm a fanboy of, do me a favor and don't respond. Madara's already dead...Sasuke has never once stated he once to stop the curse of hatred if anything he's embraced it even to Itachi he's said he hates the village even more now stop sprouting crap Sasuke's goal is to destroy the leaf and kill Naruto Show me a relevant page of Sasuke saying he wants to stop the curse of hatred and I'll believe you otherwise stop running your mouth.
Boredom due to reading... hope animation will b awesome...
:mad:This chapter was the pitts & short. It was just a fill in & did not accomplish anything. Just a bunch of flashy crap that we do not need to see. :mad

Jonny Diaz Bio
Mike Donehey, lead singer for Tenth Avenue North (GMA's reigning "New Artist of the Year") interviews new INO recording artist Jonny Diaz.
Mike Donehey (Tenth Avenue North): This is Mike from Tenth Avenue North with the New Artist Spotlight. Today we are talking to Jonny Diaz (Di-as). Did I say that right Jonny?
Jonny Diaz: You got it right, man!
Mike: Di-az. What language is that?
Jonny: I always just tell people it's like, "You don't want to die ... as an old, lonely person."
Mike: What if I did wanna' die as an old, lonely person?
Jonny: That's a whole different interview. [Laughs] It used to be Dee-as about five or six generations ago. Then it was Americanized when it was brought over. So it's Di-as now. My whole life I've been fighting that battle, but at least it's unique.
Mike: Now is it any relation to the baseball player, Matt Diaz?
Jonny: He's my older brother.
Mike: Unbelievable! Who does he play for?
Jonny: The Atlanta Braves.
Mike: You're first single, "More Beautiful You,"… What prompted you to write it?
Jonny: I've been married about 18 months.
Mike: Me too!
Jonny: If you're like me, you probably have women totally figured out by this point—smooth sailing from here. [Laughs] That's not true. But if I have learned one thing from being married and from my wife, women, of all ages—but especially young women—have this desire to feel beautiful. I'm sure your wife feels the same way.
But as guys, I don't think we fully get that. We don't really understand all the pressures that go into that. We have our own issues, but that's not really something that's big for us. I still get to play a lot of camps and get to spend a lot of time with students, so I wrote "More Beautiful You" after being with a group of high school students and seeing these girls try to fit into a mold they were never created to fit into.
I thought it would be cool to write a song for those girls, and also for my wife, coming from a guy's perspective, which is a little different. Here's what scripture says, so here's what I'm gonna' stand on. Here's the way I view you, and I hope you can do it as well.
It's been one of those songs… I wrote it and thought it was OK and wanted to play it for youth groups. I didn't even know if I wanted to put it on the record. Then it turned into the title track. Then it turned into a radio single, then [went] No. 1. It's blown my mind to see the plans God has had for this song. I'm really just a vessel for that.
Mike: It's an important message. Have you seen that Dove campaign video where they take this girl and show all these people putting make-up on her? Then they take all these pictures. Then, they show the guy on the computer doctoring the picture, making her eyes bigger and her neck longer.
Jonny: Not only have I seen it, but we also took that idea and incorporated it into the music video for "More Beautiful You." We did a mother/daughter, where they did this fun photo shoot where all this fancy stuff was done, but then at the end of it, the father and husband of these girls laugh at it all because he likes them the way they are naturally. It's kind of a lighthearted take on that whole Dove campaign.

It's pretty insane what they can do. It goes to show you, we try to compare ourselves to people that aren't even really like that in real life.
Mike: Why do you think that our vision of beauty is so distorted?
Jonny: I think the desire to feel beautiful isn't wrong at all. I think we can find that throughout scripture, comparing the Church to the bride and all throughout Song of Solomon… I don't think that desire to be physically attractive is wrong at all. I really think that is from God. But when we start comparing ourselves to other people, that's where the danger comes in.
I don't know why we do that. I don't know who the judge is that says this kind of hair looks good and this kind of hair looks bad. Or this size hips looks good and this size looks bad. I don't know who created that. I don't know where it comes from. And I'm not gonna' sit here and say I don't fall victim to that. It's so hard not to. But every once in a while, you have to step back from it and say, "We really are a soul that's wrapped up in a temporary body anyway." So not to belittle that stuff, but to get a Godly perspective on it really can change everything.
Mike: It is a profound mystery that we bear the image of God. I try to help kids understand, just being human, is a profound thing.
Jonny: That's so true.
Mike: I like what you're saying about how beauty has changed.
Jonny: Whatever we compare it to now, whatever we're striving so hard now to achieve, it's important to keep in mind, in the future, that's probably not what will even be considered beauty. The only thing we can do is go for what timeless beauty is. Like you were saying, it's found in the image of God.

It's how you wear it…
November 5, 2009
We've always believed that you can never underestimate the importance of well-fitting clothes. The problem is, what exactly does well-fitting mean? How much should your pants break over your shoes? Padding in sport jacket shoulders? Length of your tie?
Details magazine has a great overview of all the critical things you must know before hitting the dressing room.

Instead of reaching for chips, toast some soy nuts with Italian herbs and some olive oil. And instead of salty nuts, try some toasted soy nuts with a dusting of sea salt. Taco seasoning can also give soy nuts a little bit of spice.
Mixing those soy nuts with almonds or walnuts can make for a very satisfying medley that doesn't carry the high fat or high sodium of chips and dip.
No. 4: Turkey
The old way of heart-healthy eating meant sad, flavorless boiled chicken and white rice -- yuck.
But no more. With countless cuts of turkey in your grocery store, you can get away from those tired chicken breasts without reaching for red meat.
Burgers are the best, but getting that grill fix and staying healthy can be tricky.
Ground turkey, however, can be a great alternative for heart health that will still give you something to eat at the weekend barbecue.
You can spice it up with good herbs and grill it with olive oil. Pop some cheese on top for the whole package -- just stick to part-skim or a little high-flavor, small-serving gourmet cheese.
Turkey can also replace beef in spaghetti sauces to get a little more flavor beyond the vegetarian sauce snoozer. Get it ground or chop it roughly for a chunky meat sauce.
