Here at the Democratic National Convention this week, the most oft-heard statement was that the presidential election of 2004 is "the most important election of our lifetime." Nearly all the Democrats in Boston accepted that as an article of faith, and they also nodded in knowing agreement whenever someone asserted � and it was often � that President Bush had united the Democratic Party as never before.
John Kerry is so confident that Democrats believe both those things that he nearly ignored them in, of all things, his speech to the party convention tonight. He barely mentioned Medicare and Social Security, the Democrats' bread-and-butter issues of the last several campaigns. He mentioned taxing the rich in order to pay for domestic programs, but only briefly. He pointed out that the number of Americans without health insurance had grown by 4 million under Bush's watch � but then told listeners that they could go to his Web site if they wanted to find out the details of his own plan to deal with that. He brought up gay rights only by nuanced implication � that he wouldn't "misuse for political purposes" the Constitution, a back-door reference to Bush's support for a constitutional amendment to bar gay marriages.
Instead he talked about the flag, faith and patriotism. He spoke of optimism and public service. He saluted. To the extent that he talked about economic issues, he talked about balancing the budget.
In short, Kerry gave his speech not to the Democratic Party but to independents, middle-of-the-road'ers and moderate Republicans. No presidential nominee of his party in modern times could have gotten away with that. But the fear and loathing of Bush by the core Democratic constituencies � labor, environmentalists, civil rights activists and liberals of other stripes � is so great that Kerry could afford to simply ignore them without risk. He's betting that those groups will be so motivated to oust Bush that they will still campaign hard and turn out to vote. And judging from the temperature of Democrats in Boston this week, it doesn't seem much of a gamble. Kerry is free to run to the center without having to look over his left shoulder.

iPad Mini Preview
UPDATE: The iPad mini is now available to buy in the UK. We're currently working on the full review, and will have it up on the site as soon as possible. For now, here's a primer on the new Apple tablet.
So the iPad mini has been revealed, finally putting to bed long held rumours of a new smaller sibling to the iPad 3.The new tablet was unveiled alongside a new iPad 4, a new Mac mini and a stunning new 13in MacBook pro Retina display, and will be arriving well in time for Christmas and Thanksgiving thanks to an iPad mini release date of 2 November.
As we expected, the new tablet is essentially a smaller version of the iPad 2, with the same screen resolution and A5 processor, and a slightly tweaked, flatter design. Plus of course it is cheaper. So is the new iPad mini a Kindle Fire HD or Google Nexus 7 killer and king of the budget tablets? Let's take a closer look.
iPad mini - Screen
7.85in, 1,024 x 768 pixels, IPS panelIf you expect to see a screen as dazzling as the iPad 3's in the iPad mini, you may be a teeny bit disappointed. It'll use a 1,024 x 768 pixel panel, which is the same number that featured in the iPad 2 and the original iPad. Of course, sharpness will be significantly better than those old timers because the iPad mini screen is around 2in smaller - 7.85in across rather than 9.7in.
This means the iPad mini pixel density is 163dpi, which will be more than enough to keep text and images looking pretty sharp at normal viewing distances, but isn't a patch on the 264dpi of the iPad 3. The iPad 2, meanwhile is 148ppi.
This pixel density is also lower than the most obvious Android rival, the Google Nexus 7, which packs 1,280 x 800 pixels into a 7in screen. All told, it should make for a good compromise of readability and sharpness, though.
The benefit of using the familiar 1,024 x 768 resolution is that the iPad mini should have no problems running any iPad apps that aren't made exclusively for the Retina display iPad. You should be able to run just about any iPad app with no problems.
iPad mini - Body and design
Anodised aluminium, iPhone 5-like black anodised optionAs you'd expect the iPad mini back is hewn from aluminium giving it the same premium feel as its bigger brother. But, it has a slightly different style. It's flatter and squarer, making it more akin to a large iPod touch – sadly there's no Loop though. It also has either a plain sandblasted finish or a black anodised one like the iPhone 5.
As with all previous iPads the glass of the screen runs right to the edge of the device with a choice of black or white for the bezel, which is much thinner than on the full size tablet. We'd suggest it looks like the nicest mini tablet on the market, trumping the Google Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD.
It's light too at just 308g (0.68lkbs) – less than half the weight of the iPad 3 - and with a thickness of 7.2mm it's mighty thin too.
iPad mini Connectivity
Lightning connector, headphone jack, Wi-Fi, 4G and Bluetooth 4.0A key feature of this new tiny tablet is that it sports Apple's new Lightning connector which debuted on the iPhone 5. This is much smaller than the 30-pin connector as used on all previous iPads and iPhones but there has been much gnashing and wailing over the fact it requires investing in either new docks, cables and other accessories. In particular there's uproar that the iPhone 5 doesn't include the £25 adapter that converts Lightning back to the old connector type, and so it is here. But, at least with the iPad mini and newly updated iPad 3 Lightning the new connectors will start to become more common, so finding a spare in an emergency will be easier.
Elsewhere the iPad mini sports the standard headphone jack on its top edge while on the inside you've got Wi-Fi and 4G options, as well as Bluetooth 4.0.
iPad mini - Battery Life
10 hour battery life
Apple has managed quite a feet of engineering by giving the iPad mini an impressive 10-hr battery life, which trumps its nearest rivals by a couple of hours. This despite the tablet being so thin. Impressive stuff.
iPad mini - Software
iOS 6The iPad mini will use iOS 6, the version of Apple's mobile software that was released alongside the iPhone 5. It hasn't received too much love yet, though.
The main offender is iOS 6 Maps, which is so bad that Apple CEO Tim Cook has actually apologised for it. So bad that it has put some people off upgrading their iPhones to the new software.
However, it's not as big a problem for the iPad mini as the iPhone. Larger devices like iPads are rarely used as on-the-go navigation tools, and unless you're going to opt for the 3G/4G model, Maps won't be of much use at all.
iOS 6 does offer some worthwhile changes, though. It features proper Facebook and Twitter integration, letting you post directly from the pull-down notifications bar.
The App Store has been redesigned too, making it look a bit better. Yes, iOS 6 isn't world-changing (aside from Maps, which makes some decidedly dodgy changes to the world), but it's not bad. For more, check out our iOS 6 review.
Apple also unveiled a new iBooks app that includes support for 40 languages - including right to left page turning - as well as a new continuous scrolling mode for those that don't like to turn pages.
iPad mini - Processor
Dual-core A5 chipAs mentioned earlier, the iPad mini is essentially the same as a shrunk iPad 2 and sure enough it uses the same A5 processor. This should keep the tablet zipping along quickly.
iPad mini - Memory
16/32/64GB, non expandableAs the first real "budget-focused" iPad, there was much speculation that the iPad mini would come in an 8GB flavour but no, the options are the same as the full size iPad with 16, 32 and 64GB versions on offer.
iPad mini Camera
Dual camerasThe iPad mini has both FaceTime and iSight cameras, or - to put that in normal speak - front and rear cameras. The rear one offers 5 megapixel stills and 1080p video recording while the front one support 720p video.
iPad mini Release Date and Price
2 November launch, starting at £269 for 16GB versionApple has revealed you'll be able to buy a Wi-Fi only iPad mini from 2 November but you'll have to wait another couple of weeks for 4G versions to become available.
Prices start at a reasonable £269 for the 16GB Wi-Fi only version, rising to £429 for the 64GB Wi-Fi version. Meanwhile the 4G iPad mini 16GB will be £369 and the 64GB version £529.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN - FEBRUARY 05: Quarterback Eli Manning #10 hands the ball offsides to Brandon Jacobs #27 of the New York Giants in the second quarter against the New England Patriots during Super Bowl XLVI at Lucas Oil Stadium on February 5, 2012 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

I suppose Chevy's going to have to be the one to come out and say it: in accordance with Mayan prophecy, this will be the last Super Bowl ever held. Drag. I was sort of hoping for a Chiefs-Falcons Super Bowl in my lifetime. Oh well. In this commercial, Chevy convincingly demonstrates that if you do not own a Chevy Silverado, you will die.
Well, actually, another condition: it looks like you will probably also need to wear a jean jacket. There will also be frogs, because no truck commercial is complete without a misinterpretation of the Bible. Anyway, this stands out to me as one of the better Super Bowl ads of the year, because it works with a proven formula: a simple gag and top-notch production value.
These guys are going to be fine because Chevy trucks do not need gas to operate.

But Samsung and Apple are still leading the category by a wide margin.
RIM saw its Blackberry sales fall 35 per cent in the third quarter compared to last year, down to 7.7-million units.
That though was enough to stay ahead of Chinese telecommunications equipment maker ZTE, which is seeing strong sales of it's lower priced smartphones.
And HTC, a Taiwanese manufacturer of smartphones and tablets, saw it's sales plunge 42 per cent in the third quarter falling to fifth place.
Samsung and Apple are the two dominant players. Samsung doubled its sales to 56-million units led by the Galaxy smartphone.
Samsung now has 31 per cent market share.
Apple iPhone sales rose 57 per cent to 27-million for 15 per cent of the market. the data compiled by i-d-c showed nokia out of the top five for the first time ever.

"A Cuban style pot roast recipe we use at the fire house." - by Viper725
Adjust Servings
Original recipe yields 8 servings
- Lay the eye of round roast on your work surface. Use the tip of a sharp boning or paring knife to cut a pocket by inserting the knife all the way through the center of the roast, beginning on the flat side. Rotate the blade 90 degrees and insert the knife in the same spot, creating an cross shape that extends through the roast. Stuff the chorizo pieces into the pocket. Using the same knife, pierce the roast all over. Set aside.
- Mash garlic and oregano with a mortar and pestle to create a paste. Rub paste all over the roast, then season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour the orange juice, lime juice, and lemon juice over the roast. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Remove the roast from the marinade, and shake off excess. Reserve marinade.
- Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Place the roast in the Dutch oven and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove roast to a platter, and set aside. Stir in the onions; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Return the roast to the pot. Add the bay leaves, sherry, beef broth, and reserved marinade. Increase heat to medium-high, bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low; simmer 2 hours.
- Drop potatoes into the pot, cover, and continue to simmer until potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes more, adding additional beef broth as needed.
- Remove the roast and place on a platter. Cover the meat with two layers of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes. Slice roast into 1/2-inch thick slices, and arrange potatoes on the platter. Spoon the remaining sauce over, and serve.

In 2001, the MCT started the sector funding programs. Brazilian companies invest money in these funds which co-ordinate projects in various technology fields. More money is coming from taxes on fuel or electricity. Under the Lula government these sector funds were altered in that form that they can be used vertically (government can fund special projects and programs using different sector funds) in addition to the original horizontal investment (funding comes from the same sector). There are 17 sector funding programs at the moment (2010). If you like to know more about these programs please click here: Research Funding Organizations

Patient Sachin Tendulkar middles it this time

The ball from Monty Panesar was pitched on middle-and-leg. Sachin Tendulkar had gone forward to a ball of similar line in the first innings at the Wankhede, and tried to work it to midwicket. It had spun past his bat and hit his off stump.
But this one was a little slower, and landed on a pitch that didn't provide half as much turn or bounce. Tendulkar waited on it, saw that it hadn't really turned, and played it away to square leg. The Eden Gardens scoreboard congratulated him for reaching 34,000 international runs.
This was the first ball from Panesar that Tendulkar had scored off on Wednesday. It was the 15th ball he had faced from the left-arm spinner. It was also the first time Tendulkar had turned him into the leg side. During both his dismissals in the previous Test, off the same bowler, Tendulkar had looked to play across the line.
In all, Tendulkar was to face 83 balls from Panesar. He took six singles four into the leg side one double, and hit three balls for four a soft-hands edge past slip, a fine glance when he drifted one too far down leg and a gorgeous drive between cover and extra cover. The other 73 were dot balls. The majority of these, Tendulkar simply patted back down the pitch, of front foot or back.
Panesar was metronomic as always, with perhaps a few more variations in pace and trajectory than usual. Tendulkar played him with utmost respect, and was seldom troubled. This wasn't a vicious turner.
But there was plenty happening at the other end. An hour after lunch, Steven Finn bumped one short. Tendulkar moved across his crease and tucked it off his hip to the fine leg boundary. He let the next one go; Eden Gardens let out a collective ooh as it darted in and missed off stump. The next one moved away. Tendulkar let it go again.

Yeah it would be amazing, seeing the Beatles play Run For Your Life live in front of tons of screaming fans at Shea Stadium or Budokan
The only Rubber Soul songs I see getting dreamscapes are Nowhere Man, In My Life and Norwegian Wood.
The rest will just get a Shea Stadium version. Pity.

Peek into prairie life: Chestnut Square offers kids living history at summer camp
Chris Beattie/Staff Photo - Prairie Adventure Camp Director Erin Robbins, front left, teaches the kids how to play marbles Tuesday outside the schoolhouse building.
By Chris Beattie, email@example.com
McKinney kids are learning first hand what life on a farm is like this summer at Chestnut Square Historic Village.
The seventh annual Prairie Adventure Camp began Tuesday morning to give youngsters a living history experience filled with butter churning, quilting and square dancing. Kids ages 7-12 can attend the nine-week camp, which enables a history lesson more authentic than one they'd receive through school lectures.
"A lot of kids come around interested in the 'Little House on the Prairie' sort of life,'" Chestnut Square Executive Director Cindy Johnson said. "It gives a hands-on kind of experience to kids, something they can't get anywhere else in McKinney, so they really enjoy it."
Six kids came Tuesday to Chestnut Square, where they put on their overalls or flowered dresses and submersed themselves into prairie-style living. Camp director Erin Robbins took before and after photos of their transformation before she began lessons at the historical schoolhouse.
The lone boy camper had to enter and exit the building through a door separate from the girl campers, just like in the old days. Robbins, who volunteered at the camp the last two years, lives on a farm in Chambersville about 10 miles north of McKinney. She was happy to oblige when the previous director asked her to run this year's camp.
"I already do some of the things we talk about," she said, "and I really love history."
Once in the schoolhouse, Robbins and two volunteers showed the kids how to weave and explained to them Americans' reliance on the craft in earlier times. The campers then traveled through the historic village to the Dulaney House, where they each churned a personal jar of butter.
Robbins got the butter recipe from a family that lives on a 90-acre farm, where members make their own food and use candles and lanterns for nighttime lighting, while relying on solar electricity during the day. One camper said that she thought it'd be cool to make her own food because it wouldn't cost as much money.
The farm life isn't always so appealing, though. Robbins said she gets up at about 5:30 a.m. during the summer, as part of a routine that many kids might dread.
"You have to milk a cow twice a day," Robbins told the campers. "Most people milk their cow at four in the morning and four in the afternoon. I don't think you'd want to get up at four o'clock to milk your cow."
The campers seemed more interested in their present creation as they stuffed their mouths with saltine crackers dipped in homemade butter. They placed half-empty jars in their camp baskets and filed back into the schoolhouse.
Volunteer Danielle Johnson, donning a matching dress and bonnet, came to McKinney for a summer internship. She's in graduate school in Connecticut for museum education and found an ideal opportunity at Chestnut Square.
"I really like living history, dressing up and hands-on activities," she said. "It's what I like to do, so I actually asked to help with the camp."
Campers ended their first day by playing jacks on the schoolhouse floor and marbles outside beneath the village trees. As their parents arrived to pick them up and bring them back into modern society, the kids remained around the marbles circle, eager to stay in another time period for just a few more minutes.
Days ahead will feature homemade ice cream and blacksmithing among other staples of what often seems a forgotten lifestyle.
"It's great especially for the kids," Danielle said. "Sometimes people think history is just in a book and something that already happened long ago, so getting them to actually do what people have done helps them appreciate it more."
Prairie Adventure Camp is open to kids ages 7-12 and costs $100 per child. Camp days run from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Camp 1 is June 7-9 or June 14-16; Camp 2 is June 21-23 or June 28-30; Camp 3 is July 5-7 or July 12-14; Camp 4 is July 19-21. Chestnut Square Historic Village is located at 315 S. Chestnut St. in McKinney.

Yahoo! recommends YUI 3. Learn about YUI 3 on YUILibrary.com.
This example showcases the dynamic loading capabilities of the YUI Carousel Control. The YUI Carousel Control exposes an event called loadItems
. This
event is fired whenever the Carousel needs items to be loaded into it for
display. Subscribing to this event makes it easy to dynamically load
the next set of images.
Here we will use the YUI Carousel Control's loadItems
event to dynamically
load the images on the fly.
This example has the following dependencies:
Initially we use YUI Connection Manager to load the initial set of items as soon as part of the DOM is visible.
We have a few simple CSS rules to set the dimensions for the Carousel items.
The YUI Carousel Control's constructor is passed numItems
(the total number of items) so that it triggers the loadItems
event if the items are not available.
We'll use Connection Manager to load a set of items into the
Carousel as early as possible.
The YUI Carousel Control exposes a loadItems
custom event that is fired
when the Carousel needs more items to be loaded. This becomes very handy
for us since we can subscribe to it and add more items in to the Carousel
widget when required.
In our case, the server program returns an array (JSON) of images. This is
parsed in the Ajax callback and then the Carousel's addItem()
is called for
every image.
Apart from subscribing to this event, for displaying the selected image as a spotlight, we can subscribe to the itemSelected
event that Carousel control exposes.
This event is triggered whenever an item is selected and it returns the
index of the selected item. With the index of the item, we can use the
Carousel's getElementForItem()
API to get the reference to the Carousel's item (an li
element in
our case).
The getLargeImage() function is quite easy to implement. Since we have the reference to the Carousel's item, it is straightforward to implement a function that extracts the image within it.
You can load the necessary JavaScript and CSS for this example from Yahoo's servers. Click here to load the YUI Dependency Configurator with all of this example's dependencies preconfigured.
Note: You are viewing this example in debug mode with logging enabled. This can significantly slow performance.
All YUI 2.x users should review the YUI 2.8.2 security bulletin, which discusses a vulnerability present in YUI 2.4.0-2.8.1.

For Those Behind the Times
Apologetics Blog Archives
Missed It When It Was On the Main Page? Here It Is 12/31/03 to Inception of the Blog
12/31/03: About the Dividing Line.... First, Straitgate has run out of space for the moment, and we can't get hold of the webmaster (hello? Earth to SL!), so we have posted the most recent Dividing Line over at [Pete}'s site, but the link is the same: http://www.aomin.org/dl.ram. Secondly, we will have a Dividing Line Thursday morning, 11AM MST. Yes, we know it is New Year's Day, but hey, all that means is that you might have some parades on TV, and some college football games. Not much more than that. So why not? So put it on your calendar and call in at 877-753-3341, otherwise, I will have to do my world-famous British accent the whole hour, in-between John Denver Christmas music, while doing a top-10 countdown of Barry Manilow's greatest hits.
12/30/03: A Recent Dividing Line Remembered... Remember the recent Dividing Line featuring Gerry Matatics and Eric Svendsen? (For those who do not, the blog archive has some notes on it, and you can listen and get the background by clicking here). Given Gerry's world-famous sense of humor, evidenced by his telling the joke about the day they were going to stone the woman taken in adultery, and Jesus said, 'Let you who is without sin cast the first stone,' and as a stone goes whizzing by, Jesus says, 'Mom!' ---Yeah, he really did that. I heard it on tape. And it was in public, too!), I'm sure he will appreciate the following very well done cartoon. You always wonder who is listening to these webcasts. Now we know....
12/29/03: A Few Thoughts on The Passion of the Christ February 25th it hits. Mel Gibson's film on the passion of Christ will bring us many opportunities to speak of God's purpose in the cross. But in a world filled with "evangelicals" whose worldview is post-modern, not Christian, the film holds the possibility of inflaming the latent tendencies toward an ecumenical betrayal of the gospel itself. I presented a few thoughts on the topic as I preached Sunday evening at PRBC (listen / download).
12/26/03: Wilson takes a shot at NPism Obviously, Doug Wilson has become tired of being connected with the New Perspective on Paul (aka, NPism), so, a special edition of Credenda Agenda has come out, replete with a fairly lengthy article on the subject. I have had a couple of folks write and complain that I have noted the confluence of Auburnism (aka the loose movement associated with the past few meetings of the Auburn Avenue Presbyterian Church conference in January, which we just learned recently will feature N.T. Wright, the chief proponent of NPism amongst conservatives, in 2005) with NPism. Obviously, for those who have listened with any amount of care to my comments, I have pointed out the difference in background of both movements, Auburnism flowing from a staunchly conservative viewpoint, NPism flowing from a liberal background. I have likewise noted the differences in emphases as well. However, anyone who has read Wright cannot help but pause and take notice when Steve Schlissel stands before the gathered congregants at the AAPC conference and asserts that justification is nothing more than the truth that Jews and Gentiles are part of one covenant, and that by faith. If Wilson disagrees, he has yet to be plain about it. When I see in print, Steve Schlissel is wrong in what he said, the issue will be concluded. But, having read this special edition, I found no such rebuke of Schlissels assertion. (continue here)
12/24/03: Advent Blessings OK, I know, Baptists are not supposed to know, or at least use, words like "advent" since that sounds way too liturgical and all. But, it is a good biblical word, describing that tremendous historical event when the eternal Son of God, the one through whom all things were made, entered into His own creation, taking on flesh, being made in the likeness of men, dwelling with us as Immanuel, God with us, proving Himself obedient to the point of death, even death upon a cross. And as hard as it has been for me this year, I am trying to focus upon that tremendous truth. My computer is currently playing Handel's Messiah, and I cannot help but rejoice in the great inspired and prophetic words, "For unto us a child is born, for unto us a son is given...!"
12/21/03: Lazarus and Category Errors Ever wondered why anyone would object to the Lazarus story as illustrative of God's work of regeneration? I was thinking about it after George Bryson said on BAM that God changes hearts, but, not everyone whose heart is changed believes, because there are different "levels" of change. I had mentioned the biblical phraseology from Ezekiel 36:26, taking out a heart of stone and giving us a heart of flesh (I wonder how that does not violate libertarian free will?), and I have to then wonder: is it possible to have a stoney/fleshly heart, so that it is a little less stoney, or a little more fleshly? Is that what we are reduced to? In any case, I was reviewing John 11 and was again wondering why anyone who confesses that Christ has the power to raise them to eternal life in the future would question Christ's power to do so spiritually now. And of course, the reason is easy to find: it is not a textual issue, but a tradition issue. Consider: Jesus obviously is in sovereign control of the situation. Even Lazarus' sickness is a part of God's sovereign plan (just as in John 9). He delays coming just so that His power can be demonstrated (v. 6). He knows what He is going to do, and why. In fact, He does what He does so that His disciples would believe (v. 15). When He begins ministering in the situation, He says, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?" Is Jesus only the physical resurrection, and the physical life? Of course not. In fact, isn't the term "live" in the phrase "everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die" meant spiritually? How can Jesus be speaking of spiritual life in John 11 when it would be such a terrible factual category error to do so? Because the category error is made by those who do not see the interplay in the Johannine literature between the physical and the spiritual. Consider the term "hear" in John. How often, in the exact same context, does the Lord play upon physical and spiritual hearing, drawing out a strong lesson by the fact that men who can hear Him physically cannot hear Him spiritually? Would it be a "category error" to draw the same conclusions from those passages? Hardly! The Scriptures speak of the unregenerate as spiritually dead; the Scriptures speak of regeneration in terms of resurrection (Ephesians 2). One has to ask the proponent of libertarianism if their real problem with the illustration of Lazarus is that, just like Ephesians 2:5, it robs the creature of the final control and power in salvation? Remember the words of Jesus: "For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes" (John 5:21). Who will dare to charge the Son with a category error here? Indeed, I rejoice that when God called me to life, He did not have to seek my permission! I rejoice in a sovereign, powerful Savior who never fails!
12/21/03: Sample E-Mails in Response to the BAM "Debate" (Updated 12/24)
12/20/03: Rules for Interpretation in the 21st Century I received an e-mail that contained a list of "Principles of Biblical Interpretation for the 21st Century. While I didn't agree with all of them, the first five were sadly accurate: 1. Scripture is full of paradoxes and apparent contradictions that cannot be explained, reconciled, harmonized, or systematized by the finite, human mind [and I add, it is considered backwards, ignorant, or "traditionalist," to seek to explain or harmonize such things]. 2. Apparently contradictory statements in Scripture must each be given equal weight and authority in interpretation [even if their contexts are completely different, see #3]. 3. Each passage of Scripture stands alone and must be interpreted by itself. 4. There are no passages of Scripture that speak more clearly than other passages. Each passage is equally clear. Each passage is equally unclear. 5. The true and full sense of Scripture is manifold, limited only by the number of apparently contradictory passages a reader can find.
Those who seek to promote God's truth at this time when post-modernism has infected the very core of Evangelicalism, well know the truth, and destructiveness, of the above propositions.
God Has Been Good To Me Cruises produce wonderful pictures. I happen to think I have a truly wonderful family. In fact, the following picture would look much better if I were not in it, but then it wouldn't be a family picture! My kids were involved in the discussions on the cruise, from my son being at the theological talks each night, to my daughter sharing Christ with her Muslim cabin steward. And I could never get past step #1 without my lovely wife and partner!
12/19/03: Preserving Traditions How can a person who defends the Trinity, for example, properly and accurately from Scripture, then turn around and defend the idea that God's sovereignty is a chimera, and that man is actually sovereign over God, so that man's libertarian free will is actually supreme, in the great matter of salvation, over God's? The answer has become clearer for me over the years. Indeed, the best way to detect the insidious activity of human tradition is to note when someone abandons their normative hermeneutic and embraces, without notice, some new means of interpreting the text. It is this unadmitted variation in exegetical methodology that creates so much frustration when differences are discussed between believers. An illustration has been floating through my mind of late. The vast majority of Trinitarians would read Titus 2:11-14 in such a fashion as to see the text giving us a reference to the deity of Christ, especially in the words of verse 13, "our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ" (an example of Granville Sharp's Rule). The following verse backs this up with important references from the Old Testament regarding Yahweh's work of forming for Himself a special people, here applied to the work of Christ in redemption. Now, some of those who deny the deity of Christ attempt to read the text in Titus as having reference to two individuals, Christ, and Yahweh, as a separate person, so that there are two appearances in the text. Of course, the only reason for reading the text in such a fashion comes not from the text itself, but from an over-riding tradition, an external controlling belief that demands that the text be read in that fashion (so as to avoid contradiction with the theological system). The vast majority of Evangelicals would detect the unwarranted insertion of a second person into the text, would see the role of the higher authority, and would object to the pretended exegesis on that basis. And yet, the vast majority of those same evangelicals will engage in the identical activity when the central platform of human religion, man's alleged ability to have the final say in God's self-glorifying work of salvation, is under discussion. Example: John 6:44. "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day." The text is simple, clear, pure (i.e., no textual variants get in the way), and compelling. And yet, to avoid the weight of the text, what do the vast majority of readers do? They insert the very same kind of eisegetical conclusion that we just examined. In v. 44 the Father draws, and the Son raises, and there is nothing in the text that even suggests that the one raised is someone different than the one drawn. Indeed, "the Father...draws him, and him I will raise up" expresses the textual actions with clarity. Yet, the reading "understood" by the vast majority of non-Reformed Evangelicals is, "the Father...draws him, but someone else the Son raises up [since not all who are drawn will cooperate with God so as to be saved, thus protecting their libertarian free will and their ultimacy in the work of salvation]." When you ask for a basis, from the text, for the insertion of a second "him" that differs in identity or extent from the first "him" that is drawn, you never get a textually based reply, but instead get, "Well, it must, because..." followed by the immediate abandonment of John 6. So watch for the sudden shifts in hermeneutical methodology. It is a clear sign that you are about to encounter a human tradition dressed as biblical theology. 12/18/03: I Like Having Artists as Friends

12/17/03: A Quick Note What an incredible experience. Nineteen days on the road, the Stafford debate, the apologetics cruise, a respiratory infection, preaching at three different churches, all capped off by three hours on The Bible Answer Man broadcast. Just a few things, since I just flew home and have way too much to do to try to dig out from underneath all that stuff that accumulates over time (like when the dog eats the back door out of frustration at not getting to go with us). First, for those asking us for tapes or CD's of the BAM program, we don't have them. Nor will we. CRI will be your only source for the program. If you want the program, download the mp3's. Second, we should have the Stafford mp3's very quickly. Watch the ad column to the right of the main page for details. Third, many, many thanks to the precious folks who worked so hard to make everything happen over the past almost three weeks, especially: my precious wife and kids, Mike and Sau O'Fallon, Rich Pierce, Warren Smith, Steve Camp, Phil Johnson, Mike and Jane Gendron, Sam Shamoun, Eddie and Tia Dalcour, and all the precious folks who joined us on the Zaandam like St. Dr. Paul "WallyBalt, AstroGeek, Hawaii 5-0 Book 'Em Dano, Hang Ten Surf's Up Dude, Goin' to a Luau, Turns Green When Angry Due to Exposure to Gamma Ray Bursts, Kung Fu Fightin' Astronomer, Gooberhead, Object of Research, Moon Doggie, 'WallyBallyLoopyGoopyParaDilllyBoopyAstronomergoober', Hawaiian Babes Screensaver" Price (inside joke). Finally, yes, we plan on doing the DL tomorrow morning, live, call-in. Please don't melt our phone lines. :-)
11/25/03: Here Comes the Big Debate/the Cruise/BAM This will probably be the last blog entry I make for a few weeks. [Actually, I had to sneak something else in...see right after this]. I suppose I could install a program on my laptop, but believe me, satellite costs at sea are prohibitive! :-) For those who join with us here at A&O in loving, passionately, the truth of Christ's full and undiminished deity, the debate on Friday, December 5th in Tampa will be tremendously important. Please pray for me as I seek to establish the truth and refute error. In fact, if you will covenant to be praying in the days before, and on that evening, please drop us a line letting us know. It would be very encouraging. The next day what is left of me, and about 170 other folks, will be heading out on the MS Zaandam for a week of apologetic study and Christian fellowship. The amount of work that goes into putting on such a cruise is simply beyond measure, it truly is. The number of details, and problems, are legion. Mike and Sau O'Fallon have poured themselves into this trip yet once again, so not only should we thank them profusely for all their effort, but please pray for them during the cruise as well. "Issues" always arise even when on the boat. But I do not come home right after the cruise. Instead, I fly to California for the "Calvinism Debate" on The Bible Answer Man broadcast, 12/16-17. I will be "debating" George Bryson in studio, taking calls and hopefully getting the message across that Arminianism is sub-biblical, John 6 cannot be consistently interpreted by synergists, Chatty Cathy dolls get crushed by Genesis 50:20, Isaiah 10, and Acts 4:27-28, and resurrection power is not divine rape.
11/26/03: Svendsen Replies to Sungenis Just a quick note to let you know that Eric Svendsen has rebutted Sungenis' article. It seems Sungenis didn't learn much from the Mr. X debacle. :-) Click here.
11/26/03: Point of Personal Privilege! As you consider the holidays, how about supporting a wonderful Christian lady who makes outrageously wonderful shortbread cookie creations? Amy is one of our channel regulars, and you can see her handiwork at www.amylooz.com! Tell her DrOakley sent you! Won't do anything, but she'll laugh anyway.
11/25/03: A Positive Statement from the Anglicans In the midst of apostasy, it's nice to see someone standing for truth. Click here for a positive statement from the Anglicans.
11/20/03: A Question for JW's So you think Jesus is a mighty angelic creature, the greatest of God's creations, and is hence "a god"? And that all the passages that refer to him as qeovj, theos, "god," are simply referring to him as one in a class of mighty angelic creatures? Well, if that is so, pray tell us all: if a creature, no matter how exalted, can be said to be worthy to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing and dominion (Rev. 5:9-13), be lauded as the one for whom creation itself was made and in whom it has existence (Col. 1:16-17), and be the one to whom every knee bows in confession of His lordship (Phil. 2:10-11), then how on earth could we ever distinguish the worship and honor that is due only to the one true God from that which is given to "lesser creatures" as you believe Jesus to be? Doesn't your position in essence deprive us of any meaningful way of differentiating between the one true God and any lesser "deity"?
11/20/03: AAPCism and NPism Continue to Melt Together I have been severely criticized by some for noting the similarity of conclusions drawn by some in the Auburn Avenue movement and those found in New Perspectivism. Yet, as I am monitoring both sides, I cannot help but seeing a confluence of perspectives, despite the very different backgrounds and sources of the two movements. A good friend of mine, who I terribly mistreat in channel as a deep sign of my true love for him (actually, everyone in channel does the same thing), keeps me up to date on the ruminations of one AAPC devotee who has begun openly promoting NP concepts and conclusions. And when you see John Armstrong (a strong advocate of NPism) putting together a conference including Norman Shepherd (AAPCism), you can't help wondering what the future will bring. Stay vigilant!
11/19/03: Bob Sungenis Roots for the Cardinals The Arizona Cardinals stink. Let's face it. They got clocked 44-6 this past weekend, and they are headed for another one of their regular 4-12 type seasons. I have often said I'd be happy to volunteer to pack them up and ship them off to any city willing to take them. They are just bad from top to bottom. So why would I say Sungenis roots for the Cardinals? Well, late last night, a few hours after the Dividing Line featuring Gerry Matatics, Sungenis posted a review on his website. Well, no, not a review. I don't know what to call it. If you have listened to that edition of the Dividing Line and want some of the clearest evidence ever offered that some folks suffer from massively selective hearing, check it out. It is almost humorous, if it didn't involve obvious spiritual blindness. (BTW, Sungenis should really leave the cheesey titles to Scott Hahn. Though Hahn's define the term "cheese," at least, considered singularly, they normally carry a small amount of humor. Sungenis' article is titled, "Ding, Dong, The Witch is Dead." Excuse me?) Outside of the expected egregious misrepresentations, the whole thing is focused on a single issue. To summarize, "Hey, hey, don't listen to all those questions that didn't get an answer, just think of one thing: we have a single exception to Dr. Svendsen's thesis in a non-biblical source outside of the time parameters he examined! Wahoo! We have an exception to a rule of grammar! We win! We win! WE ARE #1!" And that's why I say Bob Sungenis roots for the Cardinals. See, it's one thing to say, "Hey, I'm a Cardinals fan, whether they win, or lose...and lose...and lose." I admire that kind of die-hard fan. But that is very different from standing there in the 4th quarter as the Cards are down by 30+ points screaming, "Yeah man, we are the BEST! We ROCK!" That's simple self-deception. And that's Bob Sungenis. He can listen to Matatics self-destruct on the level of not even being able to read a lexical entry properly and that doesn't even create a blip on his radar screen. Why? "Cuz Rome rules! WE ARE #1!" Just as the Cardinals will only get to the Super Bowl by purchasing tickets to it in 2008 (here in Phoenix), Rome will only get you the consolation prize of deception now, and destruction at the final judgment.
11/18/03: WOW. What a Dividing Line! For those who listened in (we set new records both for those listening live and the number of folks in the chat channel) on Tuesday evening when Eric Svendsen and I took on Gerry Matatics, it was quite the experience. The archive is up (straitgate archive or mirror site), and the mp3 is available here at aomin.org. Despite a couple of woops's (we fried another channel on our sound board!), the 80-minute DL was one of the most amazing we have ever aired. I won't bother trying to explain it, since at times, you simply have to hear it to believe it. One of the more memorable points was when I pointed out that Gerry's arguments would invalidate the use of Granville Sharp's Rule. His response was classic obfuscation and tap-dancing. Don't miss this one!
11/18/03: Kudos to [Pete] the FurbyMaster For everyone who enjoys listening to the Dividing Line live, please render thanksgiving to Pete, the guy who makes it possible by providing the webcasting facilities. Check out his blog at: http://blog.peteweb.com/
11/18/03: Massachusetts Changes Name to Gomorrah Not that anyone is overly surprised. The decades of corruption of the judiciary (a fact openly acknowledged, at least by their actions, by one major political party) has led inevitably to the actions of the Massachusetts Supreme Court today. To quote Reuters:
In a 4-3 ruling that could make Massachusetts the first state to legalize gay marriage, the Supreme Judicial Court said the state may not deny the rights conferred by civil marriage to two individuals of the same sex who wish to marry.
Consider the contrast: Roy Moore is fired, the Ten Commandments are hidden in a closet, and Massachusetts grants the sacred status of marriage to homosexuals. Then again, is it really a contrast? Isn't Massachusetts just acting in harmony with those who could not bear to be reminded of God's law in Alabama? The same mindset that allows entire judicial panels to ignore the role of God in US history in Alabama leads them to redefine the entire structure of the society, and the nature of marriage in the process, in Massachusetts. It truly makes one think through one's views on such issues as God's law and the basis of final judgment. I was watching one political leader over the weekend lying through his teeth, hiding the fact that he and his cohorts have decided that no man or woman who would ever, ever consider the facts about the murder of unborn children will ever sit upon a judicial bench again, and I thought to myself, "If such a man will not be judged for his actions in maintaining the Holocaust of the Unborn in this nation and around the world, then there is no justice at all." How do we pray for nations like Australia, England, Canada, and now the United States---all of whom have heard God's truth with great clarity, and yet are intent, in the actions of their governments (and especially now in the actions of the New Priesthood of Rebellion, aka, the judiciary), upon throwing off all forms of restraint (while suppressing the proclamation of the gospel)? History says God normally deals with such nations with judgment that either brings repentance through difficulty and disaster, or through destruction itself. We cannot see the future, but we know this: we are to remain faithful no matter what the situation, no matter what the cost.

Click here for an amazing article.
11/17/03: Hews Hou and RC Apologists For those who might wish to do some reading to be ready for the Svendsen/White vs. Matatics DL Tuesday night, here is an excellent article by Eric Svendsen in response to the article cited by Matatics in my debate with him in October in Salt Lake City, the article Matatics indicated "destroys" the hews hou argument. Click here for the article.
11/12/03: Are Mormons Trinitarians? Here is the article I referenced on the DL Tuesday evening:
Are Mormons Trinitarians?
Quick Thought: In preparing for the upcoming debate with Greg Stafford on the deity of Christ in Tampa (click here for info), a wonderful Christian brother expanded upon a concept I had written about in The Forgotten Trinity. Specifically, some who deny the deity of Christ cite John 5 as evidence that the Son is inferior to the Father because He does nothing "apart from" the Father. I have often pointed out that this is not due to an inferiority on the part of the Son, but due to the perfection of the unity that exists between the Father and the Son. This brother put this truth in the form of a question: why can't the Son do something that we can do (i.e., do something "apart from" the Father)? The reason makes the point: it is not due to something wrong with the Son, but do to His essential nature as deity. That is, the Son cannot do anything separate from the Father because that would involve a disruption in the unity of the very nature of God, shared fully by both the Father and the Son. As we move toward that time of year when our thoughts are drawn to the Incarnation, think upon the glorious truth that Jesus Christ was, and is still, the God-Man, the "Lord of Glory" who was yet crucified (1 Corinthians 2:8).
11/3/03-The Revenge of the Gnostics, or, ABC = Always Bashing Christianity
A few thoughts on Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and The Da Vinci Code.
No, I could not sit still while watching it. Who, with the slightest knowledge of the facts of the situation, could? But I still had to suffer through the ABC (yes, the same folks who brought you the Peter Jenning's Jesus Seminar commercial a few years ago) special on the fictional, absurd, yet raking-in-the-money book by Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code. In fact, it has special meaning, since there was a small chance, for a couple of hours, that I was going to have a chance to respond to it on a nationally broadcast news program, but that did not happen (at least not yet anyway). In any case, for anyone familiar with the love of gnosticism exemplified by the Jesus Seminar's elevation of the Gospel of Thomas to quasi-canonical status (click here for an article I wrote on this topic for CRI), and the constant popularity of Elaine Pagels and her ilk, this new work is hardly surprising, outside of its blatant, obvious reliance upon previously written (and refuted) works of the same genre. To call this an anti-Christian screed that is clearly fiction (but is being treated as if it has serious historical weight) is to engage in understatement. BE WARNED! The special doesn't even begin to give you a real taste for the depravity of the book, which likens medieval architecture to female genitalia in graphic language. They obviously realized that going to that level of detail would not fly on network television...at least not yet. Tomorrow on the DL I will be addressing various aspects of the program, but in particular, its simply ridiculous presentation on the "gnostic gospels." Did you notice how they did not have the same scholars on during that section that they had on before? There's a reason for that. All they could do was interview the very folks who make money peddling the meandering silliness of the ancient gnostics (excuse me, but they call this journalism?). When you read the contents of Nag Hammadi and the like, you are struck by the utter incoherence (purposeful incoherence, given the system itself) that marks those writings, yet the gleefully uncritical acceptance of the value of these works by the media elite seems to know no bounds. ABC has once again done its best to bash the Christian faith while enriching those who join them in their campaign. The ancient gnostics would be chuckling at the resurrection of their old writings, but in light of 2 Peter 2:9, I sorta doubt they are.
11/01/03: As Long As It is Opposed to God
A friend just sent me this note:
It is truly surreal, is it not? These networks would not dare air such garbage about Islam, for example, since Islam has become the darling of the media left (though, they would be the first folks eliminated were Islamic law to become the law of the land). And to base it upon second-rate historical mythology, pure fiction...and then pretend it has some scholarly merit or basis! The hatred of the media elites for the Christian faith simply knows no bounds.
How long will we have the freedom to even mention these things? If the current legal case in Australia is any indication, not long. Seems a ministry named Catch the Fire held a seminar on Islam following the events of 9-11-2001. They dared to quote from the Quran and the Hadith (the collections of authoritative Muslim traditions). Well, post-modern Western civilization is not tolerant of such intolerance. I contacted the Australian Embassy and received the following information about the case:
The case is being heard under the State of Victorias Racial and Religious Tolerance Act 2001 under which the Islamic Council of Victoria has made a complaint of religious vilification against Catch the Fire Ministries. The purpose of the Act is to promote racial and religious tolerance by prohibiting the vilification of persons on the ground of race or religious belief or activity, and to provide a means of redress for the victims of racial or religious vilification.
Vilification? The frightening part is that it is reported that the Christian ministry can not use as its defense that what they said is true. The whole point is not whether they spoke the truth, but whether the Muslims were "vilified" thereby! Such may strike you as absolutely insane, but such is the nature of the religion of post-modernism: "tolerance" can be very, very intolerant of truth. The response from the Australian Embassy had included this statement:
Equally, all Australians share the obligations of commitment to Australia and its democratic institutions and values, and respect for the right of others to express their culture and beliefs.
To which I replied:
Does this freedom include the right to truthfully represent the beliefs of a religious group that denies the validity of your own, and, along with this, expressing the central affirmation of your own religion that another religion is itself not speaking the truth regarding God and the way by which a person might come before Him? In other words, are Christians protected in your country so that they may believe *and proclaim* the words of the founder of their religion, Jesus Christ, who said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." Or does the concept of "tolerance" in fact promote intolerance of such a belief?
We will see what kind of response comes back, if any at all. My friends, use your freedom to speak the truth while you have it. The cost of speaking the truth will escalate, sooner than most of us think.
10/27/03: Radical, Unbiblical, Out of Control KJV Onlyists Bring Disgrace on the Gospel
We have already warned folks about these men (click here). For our efforts in speaking the truth we ended up with even more childish, ludicrous behavior out of these men at the next conference, as this picture notes:
We reported on this on the Dividing Line, playing audio sections of their inane ranting as well. Since that time, we have not wasted our time at the Conference any longer. After eighteen years of consistent witness, respectfully adorning the gospel of Jesus Christ by speaking the truth to the LDS at the Conference, we determined it was no longer a useful effort, because of the poisonous atmosphere of hatred and mockery created by these "evangelists" with no "evangel." So we have not distributed literature in Utah at the General Conference during 2003. And I was hoping that possibly these ignorant, rebellious men would tire of their activities and simply go away, allowing for meaningful ministry to take place again (though, repairing the damage done by these men's "witnessing" would take a very long time). However, as soon as I arrived in Salt Lake this October, I noted on television a report about how they would be showing up in force yet once again. They love attention, they love what they call "persecution." And I have learned that they took to desecrating LDS temple garments this year, resulting in some LDS trying to take the garments from them. This then resulted in arrests and charges of assault against one of the LDS men. I am glad we were not around. It truly looks like any meaningful witnessing will never again take place during the Conference thanks to these "evangelists" who have no interest in biblical truth. They are quite brave in groups, but one-on-one they are utterly incapable of meaningful apologetic interaction or defense. As I have said many times, they are a scourge, a plague. They may indeed be a form of judgment upon the Mormons, for their hate-filled childish behavior will be taken by many Mormons as another reason not to listen to any meaningful presentation of the gospel.
10/24/03: Why Are They Laughing? It was a new experience for me: as I walked up to the podium in Águas de Lindóia, Brazil, at the 19th Annual FIEL Conference, accompanied by Eros Pasquini, my tremendously talented translator, the entire gathered group of over 1,000 pastors began to laugh. Now, Ive spoken to some tough audiences before (like the mainly Roman Catholic attendees at the Tim Staples debates in Fullerton, California), but theyve normally not started laughing until later. I looked at Eros, and he looked confused as well. It took a moment for it to sink in, but we eventually figured it out. Later in the week we decided to give the gathered folks even greater reason for laughter. Here was the result, and by this you can understand why they were laughing:
I had to lend Eros a bright tie, since, well, Brazilians just dont have bright ties. At least not at the FIEL Conference. Once Eros and I figured out why they were laughing that first day, I began, Can you believe it? I come all the way to Brazil, just to find my long lost brother! The hundred or so pastors who could speak English laughed. Then Eros translated what I said into Portugese, and the other nine hundred pastors laughed (all jokes worked that way: two-step laughter). Working with Eros was a true privilege. He is a tremendous translator, and a wonderful brother in the Lord. I hope I get to visit the saints in Brazil again in the future. I am thankful to Jamie Howell for sending me these pictures. Here is one of the entire gathered group prior to one of the sessions. Some of these folks traveled for days to get to the conference!
10/20/2003: A Quick Thought on NPism As I have been speaking a lot lately on New Perspectivism, I thought I would share a thought that I was developing while speaking on the subject briefly in St. Paul, Minnesota over the weekend. First, as I was flying up there, I had been giving thought to how NPism flattens out some of the most precious and full truths of the Reformed faith. Consistently applied it really leaves no room for such precious truths as the union of the elect with Christ, the specificity of the giving of a particular people by the Father to the Son, (John 6), etc. Even if an advocate of NPism were to claim such beliefs, the foundation just isn't there: without inerrancy and the consistency of the revelation of God en toto such doctrines are simply not tenable (which is why historic Reformed theology has held such a high view of Scripture). This then led, during the seminar, to the thought that the forcing of a monochrome, one-dimensional concept of dikaiosu,nh qeou/ (the righteousness of God) leaves it so bereft of the beauty that men have lived and died for over the past centuries. Wright's tremendously forced reading of 2 Cor. 5:21, for example, illustrates this. By insisting that the phrase can only mean God's covenant faithfulness, and cannot refer to a righteousness that comes from God (i.e., is imputed to the believer, the righteousness of Christ), Wright is forced to say that this passage is simply saying that the apostles are the embodiment of God's covenant faithfulness. Likewise, Phil. 3:9 is reduced to a statement that Paul wishes to be right with God on God's own grounds rather than on the grounds of Jewish national symbols. The rich depth of color that is the biblical concept of righteousness is forced into an artificially shallow monochrome concept that simply does not do justice to the fullness of biblical revelation. By way of addition to this section...I recently saw an article by J. Ligon Duncan being panned on an AAPC-oriented site (notice the strange confluence again). Actually, the person was just applauding someone else who was blasting the article. As soon as I started reading the referenced article, I knew the Duncan article must be good, since I could tell the author had no idea what he was talking about. So I tracked it down and yes, indeed, it is a great article on NPism. Click here to read it.

Editorial: There are sensible ways to beat stress
It's a high-pressure world we live in with ever-increasing responsibilities.
It's a high-pressure world we live in with ever-increasing responsibilities.
No wonder stress looms large for many of us. How we deal with it can make a difference.
Some have turned to smoking. That's not a remedy, considering the potential devastation smoking has on our health. Many who've chosen this method of addressing stress now want to quit.
But quitting smoking is hard. The American Lung Association says six out of 10 smokers require multiple quit attempts to stop smoking. Yet preparing a quit-smoking plan can boost a person's chance for success.
The following are tips and resources that have helped thousands give up smoking for good:
--Talk to a doctor or pharmacist about the various types of treatments and different over-the-counter and prescription medications available to help you quit smoking.
--Look into the different options available to help smokers quit. The American Lung Association Lung HelpLine offers free counseling from trained smoking cessation counselors. The statewide toll-free number is 1-800-548-8252.
--Take time to plan. Pick a quit date a few weeks ahead of time and mark it on the calendar. If possible, pick a day when life's extra stresses aren't at their peak. As the quit day approaches, gather the medications and tools you need, get some preliminary counseling from the HelpLine and map out how you're going to handle the situations making you want to smoke.
--Try to exercise every day. Walking is a great way to reduce the stress of quitting. Exercise is proven to not only combat weight gain, but also to improve mood and energy levels.
--Eat a balanced diet, drink lots of water and get plenty of sleep.
--Ask family, friends and coworkers for their help and support. Having someone to take a walk with or just listen can give a needed boost.
--You don't have to quit alone. Help is available online and in the community. Consider joining a stop-smoking program like Freedom from Smoking (www.ffsonline.org).
Meantime, some studies show changing lifestyle practices can help decrease stress and improve the quality of life even beyond one's best expectations. According to the American Institute of Stress, over 110 million Americans take medication for stress-related causes every week.
Most of us worry about things making us feel stressed, but some spend an excessive amount of time worrying about tomorrow. Many chronic worrywarts probably wish they could change the way they view the world, but they simply don't know how to stop worrisome thoughts.
Keep in mind our bodies are designed for short bursts of stressful activity, but ongoing daily stress often means the system has been left "on" to respond.
If you often feel stressed and tired, you may be getting signals your body is overworked.
Stress varies from person to person, but it can involve mental, physical or behavioral changes. If you have difficulty concentrating, have headaches, tight muscles or have difficulty sleeping, these may be stress signals you shouldn't ignore.
Some people may experience a combination of signals. Ultimately, if stress and anxiety aren't resolved, it may affect your ability to work well. It can also increase the risk of injury and disease.
New lifestyle choices may help:
--Learn relaxation and mindfulness techniques.
--Have a healthy diet. When we eat well and get adequate rest, we tend to remain healthy and feel good about ourselves. Sleep and nutrition also help maintain more steady levels of our so-called stress hormones that keep us emotionally stable.
--Exercise. For people who are prone to anxiety, there's real evidence regular, moderate exercise can have anti-anxiety and antidepressant effects.
--Maintain a positive attitude. Stay focused on the good things going on in your life. Reflect on your successes instead of things that are out of your control.
--Write down your worries. Journaling what worries you may help pinpoint the real core of some problems so you can work on them more objectively.
--Take time out for you. Engage in activities that make you feel energized and rejuvenated. The important thing is to find things to do that give you pleasure instead of sitting around worrying.
The Journal's online poll question this week asked: How do you define senior citizen?
Early results show: 65 or older, 46.4%; People in their 70s, 80s or 90s, 39.3%; 50+, 7.1%; It totally depends on the person, not the number, 7.1%; Anyone older than me, 0%.

The only regret Andy Pelletier has about his city's recycling facility is that it was designed on the fly.
"I love our facility, but it was designed as a transfer station, not a zero-sort facility," said Pelletier, director of public health in Auburn, Mass.
Pelletier — like other officials in towns and counties around New England that host Casella Waste Management recycling facilities — said he's otherwise happy with the operation and the way the company works.
The Auburn, Mass., facility was originally built as a dual-sort recycling barn, where sorted recyclables could be stored before being shipped. Casella's zero-sort operation was added in 2002.
He imagines what they could do if they had built the operation from the beginning, as the company wants to do in Lewiston.
"They have done an amazing job retrofitting and making it work, but if they can build from scratch, I think a facility built from the ground up would be great," Pelletier said.
As for the operator, Pelletier gave Casella high marks for running the facility and working with neighbors.
"It was a (different waste company) facility when Casella took over and then they retrofitted it to be a single-stream system," Pelletier said. "Mixed recycling comes in one side and goes on a service belt through the building and by the time it comes out, it's all sorted."
In his mind, Casella has a decent reputation.
"If I ask Casella for help, generally they are there," Pelletier said. "They've given us dumpsters for hazardous-waste days; they fund a disposal for (sharp objects). They come to bat for us."
John Garvey, county administrator for Ontario County, N.Y., said he's had a similar experience. Casella has operated the recycling facility near Seneca for eight years.
"They are not without some very vocal critics and an opposition group," Garvey said. "But that's pretty common for all solid-waste operations. I try to maintain a balanced view. When I have a problem, I talk to them and they respond."
Casella has its share of critics in Lewiston-Auburn, where the company proposes to build its seventh automated recycling facility. The company operates material recycling facilities, known as MRFs, in Stanley, N.Y., Auburn and Charleston, Mass., and Burlington and Rutland, Vt. The company manages a sixth MRF in Tompkins County, N.Y., as a joint venture with that county.
Lewiston city councilors are scheduled to host a public hearing at 7 p.m. Tuesday on a draft lease allowing the company to build a 15,000-square-foot facility in place of the current recycling shed on River Road.
The lease is much the same as those negotiated in Ontario County, N.Y., Auburn, Mass., and Chittenden County, Vt. The city would remain in control of the land under the facility and the facility itself. Casella would build the structure and deed it to the city, paying a monthly lease.
According to the terms of the 20-year lease, Casella would pay Lewiston $5,638 per month — $67,656 per year — in addition to an entry fee of $5 per truck.
The city currently has a three-year contract with Casella to take the city's unsorted recycling. Under the draft lease, the city would extend that contract by two years. After that, it would be free to send its recyclables anywhere it could get a good price.
That's what Auburn, Mass., does.
"The next time the contract comes up, they will be invited to bid," Pelletier said. "But they are not our current contractor, just someone who has a business in town."
Pelletier said one neighborhood concern has been delivery trucks coming to the facility. The Auburn, Mass., facility is off a state highway that passes through residential neighborhoods.
"The company has put up signs telling drivers not to go that way," he said. "Where they are supposed to go, there are maybe seven houses there and I don't get complaints from those homes. I tend to get them from the other side, from trucks that are going out the wrong way."
Brian Wright, operations manager of the Chittenden County Solid Waste District in Williston, Vt., said he considers Casella to be a good company.
"They are a private company," he said. "You have to negotiate and watch them. But they have never dropped the ball for me, ever."
In fact, Wright said sometimes they go above and beyond.
"We own the equipment, but they maintain it," Wright said. "There have been gray areas where we needed to replace equipment. But they often did it, just to keep operating."
Rutland, Vt., Solid Waste District Manager Jim O'Gorman said he has a good working relationship with Casella. He likes having the facility because it lets the city cut down on trash tipping fees.
"There are other vendors that accept recycling, but they just want the cream of the crop," he said. "They just want the plastic or the tin, but they're not interested in the commodities that might not be worth as much. That's where it's a little different."
Ontario County's Garvey agreed.
"It increases utilization," he said. "It makes it so simple, everybody recycles, and that's our main goal, to reduce the waste stream within the county with better education and better recycling. This does it better than anything else."

I was there in the late 90s when Mack Brown was the coach. I remember beating Clemson 3 of 4 years when I was in school, including a blowout in Chapel Hill and an OT victory in Clemson. Pretty fun then.
The first part of the Davis years were fun. The win against ND at the last second was fun.
All the crap the past couple of years has not been fun. That is going to change no matter what because there is a new regime in town from the AD on down.
Fedora has an outstanding opportunity to have a monstrous first season at UNC. The Tar Heels return a ton of talent, particularly on offense, and have arguably the easiest schedule in the conference. As I have said before, anything less than eight wins should be considered a disappointment, in my opinion.

SoPinesHeel - 02 July 2012 05:52 PMYep nobody cares about football. That is why Carolina is in trouble…nobody cares.
I feel like NC State is the only North Carolina school capable of becoming a true football school. UNC is certainly capable of producing good football teams, but they will never be a football school. I think the NC State fanbase cares more about football than any of the other North Carolina schools.
I attended UNC during the last years of Brown's time as coach, and there was real excitement about the program. I'm hopeful Fedora will bring that back. I will admit I was on the Butch Davis wagon, as I thought he could do for UNC what he did at Miami. It did not happen, and Fedora seems like the right guy at the right time.
I'm quite lucky. I have a lovely wife, two great kids and an ever improving golf game.

Was simply referring to the four current ACC achools in NC. App State is already established as a football program.
I'm truly looking forward to this football season and what Coach Fedora,staff, and team may accomplish this year. I've been a Tar Heel fan since the late 60's, early 70's. I have seen it all, the highs and lows, etc. This is my 20th consecutive year as a season ticket holder. My first Carolina Tar Heel game, in person, was the Clemson game at Beautiful Kenan Stadium in November 1977. Bill Dooley's Tar Heels (Amos Lawrence,etc.) fought the Tigers under Charley Pell (Steve Fuller,etc.) to a 13 all tie, (there was no overtime then) pretty much sewing up the ACC championship for Carolina. Clemson already had one loss in conference play, while the Tar Heels would go undefeated in conference play that year, the 3rd time in seven years. (71 and 72, as well)
I think the future is bright at UNC. I think Ferdora is a good coach and they do return a good bit of talent, and they have upgraded facilities. I think that if they have a decent year this year, he should be able to bring in some solid recruits.

Two More Fungal Meningitis Cases In N.H.
Two more people in New Hampshire have been diagnosed with fungal meningitis related to a national outbreak bringing the number affected in the state to 10.
Nationally, 17 states have reported 317 cases of fungal meningitis to date, including 24 deaths. The victims in the outbreak had all received steroid shots made by a Massachusetts specialty pharmacy, mostly to treat back pain. In New Hampshire, the medication believed to be related to the outbreak was distributed to Pain Care LLC's locations in Somersworth, Merrimack and Newington.
Meningitis is caused by the inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord.
