Local startups OneMorePallet, CrowdHall and Socstock, as well as the Brandery consumer marketing accelerator, joined 70 other new companies from around the nation at a first-ever entrepreneurship expo today at the Republican National Convention in Tampa.
The goal of the Huffington Post-sponsored event and a similar one next week at the Democratic convention in Charlotte, is to connect these young companies with politicians and policy-makers, business leaders, media, and fellow entrepreneurs. The afternoon began with a lunch to kick off the Huff Post's new Opportunity: What is Working jobs site. A panel of speakers included Ohio Governor John Kasich, heads of LinkedIn, Startup America and the Rockefeller Foundation, and Arianna Huffington of the online news site. Follow along on social media by following the hashtag #whatisworking.
Job growth has been a major focus in the first two days of convention. Specifically, top Republican leaders have focused their talks on the jobs that are created by new and growing startup companies. CrowdHall and Socstock are members of the Brandery's current class of startups. CrowdHall is an online platform for public personalities to engage with their constituents or fans. It allows users to ask questions of a politician, celebrity or sports star and to vote on others' questions, and promotes the most asked and voted questions to the top.
Socstock empowers small businesses to raise money from their customers or fans in return for future goods or services.
OneMorePallet is part of the UpTech business informatics accelerator in Northern Kentucky, and has created a technology that matches tractors and trucks with excess space with businesses who want to fill the space with shipments.

How to stretch your paycheck
You keep asking yourself: Where has all the money gone?
Of course, you have a good idea: It has gone to spending on groceries, cell phone and cable bills, mortgage and insurance payments, and maybe even on a weekly night out for dinner and on a daily cup of latte. With a few phone calls and adjustments, and some discipline, you can make your paycheck go further. And, hopefully, you can start saving the difference.
-- Laura Cohn, Kiplinger

Boost your deductibles
You can trim your auto insurance by 15 percent or more if you boost your deductible to $1,000 from $250. Also, increasing your homeowners' deductible to $2,500 from $250 can cut your premium by 30 percent and discourage you from making small claims that could raise your premiums. And if you have policies with more than one insurer, you may want to put all of them together -- and likely get a discount. Be sure to ask your insurer about the markdowns that you qualify for.

3 words. Affordable. Effective. Results. I cannot tell you how quickly this became a holy grail pack for me. I purchased this as a pamper pack for Christmas and I went out and purchased an extra one, in fear of it running out as well as scoring an amazing bargain. I will say, it's good enough to purchase separately.
ZA cosmetics and skin care don't often cross my mind when I'm thinking about pharmaceutical brands. Drug store doesn't necessarily mean ineffective, but the ideology behind luxury can often culminate placebo results. You pay $105 for a "whitening and brightening" treatment serum and you "see" results, because you've justified spending that sum of money. This was affordable and really showcases your skin's luminosity.

TORRINGTON >> Gary Brunoli has sat atop the highest rung on the Torrington Fire Department ladder since July, filling in the role of acting chief. On Wednesday, he officially became the department's Chief Gary Brunoli.
The Board of Public Safety unanimously approved Brunoli as the best candidate for the position, ending a five-month selection process behind closed doors, scratching candidates off the list, one by one. Brunoli, joining more than 30 initial applicants for the job, came out on top after the field narrowed to 10, then five.
Brunoli's new $93,332 annual salary becomes part of the offer package, designed by the city and board, which also details the new chief's expectations. One of the biggest factors in the elongated public safety board process was making sure the publicly-felt disconnect between the firefighters based on Water Street and the volunteer departments throughout town is alleviated. Brunoli is also required to develop a communication plan with the Board of Public Safety.
Following the plans and designs implementation, Brunoli will be evaluated by the board.
Brunoli, from the onset, was a heavy favorite in the race, but on Wednesday night, city officials publicly described why he was the top choice.
"Why he rose to the top, primarily, is because of his record of service — what he's been able to achieve as deputy chief and acting chief — and the level of professionalism within the fire service with him, which can always get better," said Mayor Ryan Bingham, following the swearing-in process. "But the most important thing is his work ethic. That man is one of the hardest working people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He's always there and he always puts in 150 percent into his job."
Before Chief Brunoli, longtime Chief John Field announced his departure in June. Field recommended Brunoli as his successor and Brunoli told the Register Citizen that he was preparing his "whole career to step into a position like this."
And on Wednesday, Brunoli, who carries more than two decades of Torrington Fire experience into the office, was given that chance. With his right arm up and his family alongside him, Brunoli was sworn in by Bingham inside City Hall's auditorium. Brunoli's grandson, six-year-old Elias, had the pleasure of pinning Brunoli and then gave his grandfather a fistbump with a smile.
The chief selection process dragged on, and Brunoli waited. He sat as acting chief for months as the Board of Public Safety worked out the finite issues in his new contract — but Brunoli waited. Then Wednesday night came and, with the City Hall auditorium filled with firefighters and commanders, who would later line up outside to salute Brunoli upon his exit, he stood ready.
"It was something they needed to do," Brunoli said of the board's vote. "And in the end, they had the right choice for the people of the city and the fire department. I've worked my whole career never looking for the job of chief, but as the opportunity has presented itself, more and more I became interested in leading this department. It's not me leading, though. It's really me serving the city of Torrington." Continued...
Brunoli delivered a speech to the audience and was given a standing ovation, with the mayor and board members joining in. "I'm ready to get to work," he said later.
"I always felt Gary was the best candidate that I saw," said Commissioner Angela LaMonica. "Truly this day is important with the city, and to pick someone within us."
"Everyone stumbled along the way, but Gary stumbled the least," Commissioner James Potter said about the process.
Brunoli's appointment also drags a vacancy along with it. His former role as deputy fire chief is now open and ready for applicants, and according to Mayor Bingham, will be someone Brunoli can "bring alongside him and groom him" as a successor.
"We'll start after the holidays, on Monday," Bingham laughed. "But there is a vacancy. Clearly we want to fill it sooner than later and we'll ask Gary to be involved in a large extent."
Then the process to fill another administrative process will begin, again. But for now, the board, the mayor, and mostly, new Chief Brunoli, will have the Thanksgiving weekend off to celebrate and relax with their families.
Asked his plans for the holiday, Brunoli smiled and said, "Yeah. It'll be good."

truthfully, one of the most pathetic things is that
i dedicated this blog to you.
you had me wound up in every word you spoke and every breath you took
you had me intoxicated and i had never felt this way for another
according to you, you felt the same
you were "never going to get over me"
you lov
the difference between us is that i
still love you
and i always will.
but you threw that away.
you threw me away for her
i know i ruined it but truthfully
you ruined it worse
never will i ever come back to you
and put myself through the abuse you dealt to me
calling me a whore probably made you feel like a man
but in all honesty, it made you seem weak
you have always been weak
but i am weaker
i let my lust jump ahead of my love
i dumped you for something stupid
and i immediately regretted it
you know i did.
just like you know that i will love you for a long time
you're nothing special to me
you're just a man who betrayed me
i used to think i could love you forever
but in all honesty that love will turn into hate
it already is
how much of what you said to me were lies?
did you really find my body amazing?
did you really think i was the most beautiful woman?
you said that she would never compare to me
why is it that you love her already?
why did you feel the need to demoralize me?
i had never treated you that horribly
truth is, i can't stop thinking of you
i get a sinking pit in my stomach every time i hear your name
every time i see your face in my head
every time i think of you telling her that you love her
i bet you wish her goodnight
i'm done with you
good bye
i can't stomach typing this
i would still get with you if you wanted me

I finally figured it out!
I have decided to settle down and get serious about a career in Public
Garden Management and Horticulture. This decision allows me to work in
areas where public transportation is readily available, work in a greenhouse
environment, avoid the stress of production related capitalism, contribute
to the beauty of urban areas, preserve plants for future generations, and
educate people who are really interested in plants. It also solves the
dilemma about what I want to do when I grow up, because this way I can do a
little of everything.
Cornell and the University of Delaware both have fellowship only programs
for Master's degrees (both fully funded with a living stipend). There are
other programs out there as well.
I have joined the Horticulture club as an active member (I might consider
running for an office) and am taking an extracurricular Urban Gardeners
Program with a 40-hour community service requirement at the local community
greenhouse (Hunter Park in Lansing – 2 minutes from my door walking). I am
working on a proposal for an internship with Beal Gardens here at MSU,
probably revamping the website and working on grant acquisition as we all
know that I can weed just fine.
Now to 4.0 everything and do well on the GRE.
"Cultivated plants are neatly planted; wild plants flourish in chaos."
– Susun Weed

Many residents are worried that prospective drilling for natural gas in the Marcellus Shale (which underlies Ithaca and much of the rest of New York west of Albany) will damage the environment and make living in the area much less appealing. Other residents believe that the economic benefits will outweigh the negatives. At present drilling in the Marcellus Shale is prohibited until the state completes a study of the process, and the governor makes a decision regarding when, and how, to allow it.

Beauty of Ithaca - 1/12/2010 Rolling hills, numerous waterfalls and gorges make this town great for the soul[read more...]
Don't move to Ithaca! - 12/26/2009 Ithaca is an awful place to live! I moved here from Virginia to go to Cornell and regret coming! The university is nice, but the town is horrible! The local people are really strange and downtown area looks really run down. Also, the weather is unbearable, especially in winter. The sun never shines, it snows daily, and rarely gets above 20 degrees. I can't wait until graduation! I don't recommend the area at all.[read more...]
Couldn't Wait to Leave! - 11/4/2009 I lived there for 28 years and it was about 20 years too long. We moved in 2001 and I was so happy. I hated the weather - the cloudiness and the LONG winters that start in October and sometimes end by April - the end of April that is. It's so cold. We moved south and I love it! I do not miss Ithaca at all!!! It's in the middle of nowhere and it takes so much time to get anywhere! I do however miss access to NYC. It took a little over 3 hours driving and there were always flights daily. NYC is a place I love and really do miss but Ithaca and surrounding areas - forget it. [read more...]
All-Around Great Quality of Life - 7/13/2009 Ithaca, New York has a wonderful quality of life. The city has many of the cultural trappings of a major city, such as a plethora of restaurants, professional theatre troupes, museums, arthouse cinema, and a major university. It also has much of the charm of a small town. While hilly, it's a bicycle-friendly city with an excellent public transit system. The city is small enough that a bicycle is a viable primary mode of transportation. With a large lake, forests, extensive hiking trails, and three state parks within a fifteen-minute drive, Ithaca is an outdoors enthusiast's dream. All-in-all, Ithaca NY is a great place to live.[read more...]
Educated, conscious living - 5/26/2009 Ithaca is gorges[read more...]
Wonderful place to live - 4/6/2009 It's true, the weather is less than ideal. But if a lot of weather doesn't bother you, Ithaca is a unique and beautiful town. As a college town, hosting Ithaca College and Cornell University, it is culturally far more urban and cultured than most towns its size. Small business that know how to address the local market can thrive here, despite the small city growth rate. People take personal freedom, the environment and education very seriously here, which means of course that Ithaca is liberal politically and quite socially conscious. It is blessed with beautiful natural features, especially Cayuga Lake and many stunning waterfalls. Near Ithaca you can enjoy farmland, woods, and vineyards, since this is also Finger Lakes wine country. Crusty conservatives might not agree, but Ithaca is a great place to live and raise children if your values are so inclined.[read more...]
outdoors - 1/24/2009 Ithaca really is gorges. Beautiful place for winter activities, camping, kayaking, swimming, running, hiking. Beautiful.[read more...]
Cost of living in Ithaca - too high - 12/2/2008 Ithaca is a great place to live and raise a child, but if you want to live within the city limits plan on spending a lot of money on housing/taxes etc.[read more...]
Ithaca - 9/29/2008 Lovin' it[read more...]
Quality of life...poor. - 6/23/2008 Don't believe the safety, the crime reports, the business reports. It is in the middle of no where. Socialistic. Many homeless. The pretty gorges not worth the trade off. Poor qualiy or life. Hide faults.[read more...]
Not how it appears online. - 6/23/2008 Many people disappointed in moving here, especially if starting a business. Very closed minded, socialistic environment. Not happy with hard working individuals trying to make a living. Happier with poor people. Would like NY to be annexed to Canada...embarrassed about their country and their policies. Much more crime than ever reported. High School has vast racial issues. So leftist, socialistic, that no one can make any decisions about anything. If you are thinking about moving here, visit for at least a week first. Check out The Commons, their "vibrant" downtown, which they do nothing to help. If starting a business, be sure to notice the fact that noone goes downtown, but drunks, beggers and the homeless. There isn't any free parking...meters, garages. The list goes on. It is really sad. I hope that you don't get caught in the same trap that I got caught in. Oh, so beautiful. If you want beauty or a family environment, go to the real upstate NY. Go to the Adirondacks. Ithaca is not a welcoming place, unless you are a communist. If you are middle of the road or a republican, you will not be happy here. Trust me. Again, tons more crime than reported.[read more...]
Jobs - 3/9/2008 Finding a job in Ithaca is close to impossible. Although this is a national problem, it has been a problem in Ithaca for years.[read more...]
Acts of Racism and Discrimination allegations are - 1/12/2008 This is by far the most racist place I've ever lived... Both Cornell and the Ithaca School District are constantly being sued for their non-liberal behavior-This is definitely not a place for Asians, African Americans, Hispanics, Mixed Race families (w/adoptees)etc. Dont put yourself in harms way here... Call the Human Rights Office and get the statistics for yourselves![read more...]
New to NY - 12/11/2007 I have recently relocated from Cadillac, Michigan to Ithaca, New York. I'm really excited to learn more about the area. I've been here two months. The climate is very similar. Obviously, with Cornell U. and Ithaca College being in my back yard, there is a huge opportunity for culture here that I didn't have in northern Michigan.[read more...]
Recent trip to Ithaca - 12/8/2007 Traveled to Ithaca over the Thanksgiving holiday to relive the sights and sounds after a ten year hiatus. I haven't been to Ithaca in ten years since my graduation from college. Ithaca has certainly changed, in some ways for the better and in some ways not. Driving through the residential streets of south hill, it becomes apparent that nothing has really changed. The houses still look the same for the most part and in some cases much worse vs ten years earlier. The roads are much worse. I'm not sure if the City of Ithaca has paved a road in ten years or so. The Commons aka the "main drag" is virtually unchanged except for some new businesses and restaurants. Ithaca is still its old hippy self and very "green". The Commons certainly does draw some interesting looking characters but you can find such people in almost any city or village. People here really care about the environment and especially what kind of food they put into their bodies. It was very cold as I strolled through the commons, a balmy 29 F degrees BUT sunny! Ithaca has many wonderful restaurants and coffee houses to choose from. Unfortunately, since my last visit Starbucks has moved into the downtown area. According to the locals, Starbucks was banned for as long as possible until Cornell overpowered the local activists. Speaking of Cornell, Cornell is the powerhouse of Ithaca. Cornell is the largest employer in Tompkins county. Between Cornell University and Ithaca College, Ithaca draws and maintains many intellectuals on all levels. Don't be surprised if your local barrista has a masters or PhD to boot. A new high rise hotel has sprung up since my last visit. It looks like a 9 or ten story Hilton Garden Inn. The housing market has remained steady even over the course of the recent market downturn. Ithaca has about 30,000 residents but adds another 30,000 people or so during the school year. Ithaca has very good schools-education is a darling of the city. The schools on all levels are excellent. The outdoor culture is amazing. There is plenty of activities to do in the great outdoors. Ithaca is known for its gorges and waterfalls. Ithaca also is home to many beautiful state parks. If you like wine tasting be sure to visit the local wineries, especially as you drive north along Lake Cayuga. Just name the activity and you can do it or find it in Ithaca such as mountain biking, 4-Wheeling, skiing, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, swimming, biking and hiking just to name a few. If you're considering moving to Ithaca, NY just be aware of the cost of living. Buying a home is not too expensive, but maintaining it can be more so. The property taxes are very very high(2.8-3.8% avg) and sales taxes are 8.25%. Welcome to NY. Heating Oil costs can also add to your monhtly bills during the harsh winter months. If you like snow, wind and cold this is your place. You will get plenty of it during the long winter months. If you want more snow you can travel north and east to Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo. The summer and fall months are so splendid to say the least. The weather is beautiful from May to October. [read more...]
Yes its a paradise - 8/29/2007 Finding a place to live is virtually impossible if you aren't loaded to the gills with money! Rent is out of this world and buying a home is out of this universe. However if you have a good 1000 to blow per month on rent and dont mind that then its the town for you. The county is very poverty loaded. Jobs are few and far between unless your a teacher or medical professional. It is well known to be a haven for the Hippy type however they must be yuppie hippies since a real hippy couldnt afford to live here. Its also a well know haven for upstate gay people they have domestic partnerships. They dont list the crime rate for the city here but it seems to me to be a high one compared to nearby towns. [read more...]
Attractive and Inviting - 8/15/2007 I moved to Ithaca from another part of upstate New York. The community has a strong college town vibe, since it is home to Cornell University and Ithaca College, each on opposite sides of the city. Ithaca itself is really quite an interesting place. It's tucked away in the hills- the nearest interstate is 25 miles away, and the nearest major city is 60 miles (Syracuse). Weatherwise, the summers are warm to hot, but fairly pleasant, and fall and spring are mild. Winter is definitely a test for those from warmer or sunnier climes. Being on a lake, and close to the Great Lakes, Ithaca is often walloped by clouds and snow, and temperatures only average a high in the 30s in winter. If you can handle the clouds in the cooler months, and the rather gloomy winter, then you should be fine. The gorges and waterfalls are stunning, and there's quite a bit of natural beauty to the area. The people of Ithaca are an odd bunch. You'll find hippies on the Commons, a Buddhist monastery being built on the outskirts of town (the Dalai Lama has visited a few times), intellectuals and college students near the campuses, and traditional upstate conservatives in the suburbs and rural towns nearby. An ecclectic mix by any means, but people still tend to place a lot of pride in the community and in the region. I've never had a problem with shopping personally. Big box retailers (Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy and Kohl's to name a few) can be found on the flats in the southern part of the city or the northern suburbs, and mom-and-pop stores and small shops are abound in downtown. The result is a fairly healthy mix of local character and afforadable national chains. The economy is primarily colleges and tourism, with some high-tech businesses and traditional manufacturers mixed in. The area used to have several large factories, but as unfortunate luck would have it, they shipped out (one of the largest employers made typewriters---the computer age shut them down). Although the economy is growing, it is slow growth, the area is still small in population, and high-paying jobs can be tough to come by. Affordable housing can be hard to find in some parts of town too. I have never been to the ICSD (Ithaca City School district). but with education being such a major facet of the economy, you can bet it has high standards. It's on Newsweek's lists of top schools year after year, if that suggests anything. Healthcare (Ithaca is served by Cayuga Medical Center) is pretty decent. [read more...]
Some places are a little expensive, but some are p - 7/2/2007 Depending on what you are going to do in Ithaca, you can find it a little expensive. In my opinion, it is worth the price. The quality of life compensates. Literally you can breath peace in this town and it is priceless for raising children. If you are a student and are only planning to rent, then there are some options. There are plenty of apartments uptown (5 to 10 minutes driving from the commons). The average rent is 900 to 1,400 for two bedrooms apartments which it's quite reasonable if you have a roommate to share the costs. Most of them include some utilities such as heater and water. If you decide to rent some old house downtown, beware of the windows and doors insulation, as these houses' heating systems are usually linked to the electricity bill and you could feel the monthly impact on this one. I lived 2 years in an old 3 room house downtown, and although I had 2 roommates and only paid 335 for rent, the electricity bill often came above 160 in total. I live in Gaslight Village now, and although the total rent is almost the same for a 2 room apartment, my rent part is 465 for a much nicer place. The bus stop is right next to my apartment which is a plus, since I hated the hill you had to walk to go to collegetown and campus. The most i have paid in electricity in the new place is about 50 in summer time (because the apartments have air conditioner). The heater is included. Other option I know is University park, and I beleive the electricity is included. I'm not sure though.[read more...]

Green power to the people everywhere
Tony Armstrong, Linear Technology Corporation
There is plenty of ambient energy in the world around us and the conventional approach for energy harvesting has been through solar panels and wind generators. However, new harvesting tools allow us to produce electrical energy from a wide variety of ambient sources. Furthermore, it is not the energy conversion efficiency of the circuits that is important, but more the amount of "average harvested" energy which is available to power it. For instance, thermoelectric generators convert heat to electricity, Piezo elements convert mechanical vibration, photovoltaics convert sunlight (or any photon source) and galvanics converter energy from moisture. This makes it possible to power remote sensors, or to charge a storage device such as a capacitor or thin film battery, so that a microprocessor or transmitter can be powered from a remote location without a local power source.
Click here to check out Linear Technology's energy harvesting products to be used as potential solutions.
Market forces driving growth
Energy directives, rising operating costs and a growing green movement are driving adoption of WSN for energy harvesting applications. While previous WSN products (industrial machinery, agriculture, structural health monitoring) have left a fragmented market, cross industry efforts are underway to unify sensor networks with an IP-based platform to simplify development, attract new entrants and encourage innovation. Note: WSN can also mean wireless sensor node(s), thereby having either a singular or multiple configurations depending on its contextual use.
WSN is a disruptive technology that can deliver up to 80 percent reductions in installation costs and support for a wide range of applications not possible with wires that make buildings greener and "smarter." With the prospect of installing sensors almost anywhere, buildings of any size can optimize their energy consumption, improve safety and security, and reduce operating expenses. Note that, in buildings, HVAC consists of two-thirds of current WSN installations, followed by lighting and access control. It is predicted that 15 million wireless sensor nodes will be installed within the next five years (Source: ON World Inc.) that will need to be either battery powered or powered by ambient energy, or possibly a combination of both.
In support of these growth projections, a recently published report from iRAP, Inc., EN105: Ultralow power (microwatt) energy harvesting for wireless switches and wireless sensor networking, the global market for ultralow power energy harvesting devices is estimated to have been $79.5 million in 2009. iRAP further estimates that the market will reach $1.25 billion in 2014, at an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 73.6 percent.
As a result, we believe that there is a very large market for products that address specific solution needs in the areas or renewable energy and energy harvesting. This is why Linear Technology has spent time and resources to develop specific products to enable viable and cost effective solutions today.
The numbers in the Table for solar panel don't look right to me. With solar constant at ~1400W/m^2 and accounting for atmospheric attenuation, albedo, etc., let us say an insolation of 800W/m^2 which works out to 0.08W/cm^2. With solar panel efficiencies at 10 to 20%, this is few 10's of mW/cm^2, NOT few 100's claimed in the table.
The article otherwise a smorgasboard of Linear's solutions!
MP Divakar
efficiency is always important.
Your available usable power is the product of efficiency and non usable (without tranformation) available power.
zero times anything is still zero
10% times anything only allows 10% of the energy use...
But I do understand why this is being framed in this way. If you are going to convert these types of power sources you cannot expect to get to conventional efficiencies considered norms in normal power suppl design.
Thus the lowered expectations framing of the issue.

Local Mail Couriers Deliver Thousands of Food Items
By: Brendaliss Gonzalez
Updated: May 12, 2012
Today mail couriers from around the nation helped deliver food items to local food pantries as part of the 20th annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.
Postal workers in the Key City visited more than 50,000 homes collecting donated food items left for them in specially marked bags.
They spent the majority of the afternoon sorting and weighing in all of the donated items which quickly filled up the West Texas Food Pantry in Abilene.
"Today the carriers all throughout the area-the rural carriers, city carriers picked up non perishable food items and as you can see behind us- the guys that stepped up to the plate and all the food and stuff so its just to help out the less fortunate in the community," said USPS mail courier Ron Eudy.
They say it's been one of the best years so far for the Key City, largely in part because of the new bags.
They say received about double what they received so far last year.

J.W. McGarvey's Evolving Relationship with Mk 16.9-20
J. W. McGarvey is widely regarded as the greatest scholar produced by the Stone Campbell Movement. As we continue to think about the ancestry and history of the King James Version I thought I would tie Stone Campbell history with that of the KJV. McGarvey was indeed a great scholar and one of his strengths was the ability to let fresh light change his mind on even important subjects. Briefly in this blog I will trace the "evolution" of his views on the ending of the Gospel of Mark. His "conclusion" of the matter in his commentary on Mark dating from 1875 (really became nothing but a point on the timeline), his visitation of the subject again in 1886 and then ten years later in 1896 (2x). Its should be fairly obvious that McGarvey softens and alters his original position in light of further evidence.
1875: Commentary on Matthew and Mark
McGarvey has an extended discussion on the ending of Mark in this commentary. He says "Our final conclusion, is that the passage in question is authentic in all its details, and that there is no reason to doubt that it was written by the same hand which indited [sic] the proceeding [sic] parts of this narrative. The objections which have been raised against it are better calculated to shake our confidence in Biblical Criticism than in the genuineness of this inestimable portion of the word of God." (p. 379).
McGarvey, in his Commentary, had made great efforts to disprove the work of British scholar Henry Alford (The Greek New Testament) who had made -- at the time -- the most persuasive arguments against Mark 16.9-20. At the end of his discussion McGarvey reveals that he had received John W. Burgon's The Last Twelve Verses of Mark. He cautiously recommends the book to his readers with this interesting caveat that Burgon tends to be "extravagant in many of his expressions, and often extreme in his conclusions." McGarvey's endorsement of Burgon is hardly the wholesale or "over the top" like some of Burgon's later fans. We will mention Burgon again below.
Also of interest is this interesting qualification that McGarvey make, especially in light of his rather confident "conclusion." He writes: "The authenticity of the passage being conceded, and the fact being apparent that it was written by some one who possessed of independent and correct sources of information, the question of its genuineness might be waived without detracting from its authority or credibility; for a true piece of history attached to Mark's book is not less valuable or authoritative because some other person than Mark may have been the author of it . . ."
Why make this qualification? Why separate authorship and authority?
1886: Evidences of Christianity
The eleven years after the publication of McGarvey's Commentary, were years filled with significant developments in the field of textual criticism. One of the most important was the publication of the 1881 Revised Version of the Bible and Westcott and Horts Greek New Testament and Introduction with the Appendix of variant readings. McGarvey briefly returned to the issue of the ending of Mark. He says, "The genuineness of these [Mk 16.9-20 & Jn 7.53-8.11] is doubted by some critics, though confidently defended, especially the former, by others. Further investigation will doubtless bring all to the same judgment concerning them" (Evidences, pp. 15-16).
In a lengthy footnote McGarvey pitted Hort's discussion against that of Frederick Scrivener (Introduction to the Critical Study of the New Testament). Scrivener, in McGarvey's view, has provided an "elaborate answer to all the arguments of Dr. Hort." But McGarvey does not say anywhere where he comes down on the issue. Significantly, I think anyway, McGarvey makes no mention -- at all -- of Burgon's book that also tried to meet the arguments of Hort.
1896: Christian Standard
We are now twenty-one years after McGarvey's Commentary and his original conclusion. In the space of two months McGarvey visited the subject of Mark 16.9-20 two times (in his column "Biblical Criticism"). I quoted one of those in my earlier post that was questioned. By this time much more light had been shed on the subject than was available in 1875, and even in 1886. Significantly, McGarvey defers to Alford's opinion rather than his own (which recall he tried to refute in 1875):
"Yes, the statement is true; and it is true of more verses than the gentleman said; for the last twelve verses are absent from the Sinaitic and Vatican MSS., the two oldest now extant, both belonging to the fourth century. They are also absent from some later MSS., and in some others they appear in various forms. The question whether this negative evidence proves that the verses are not genuine, has excited much controversy among textual critics. Some contend that they have been accidentally lost from the few MSS. which have a gap here, while others contend that the original gospel did not contain them. I think the trend of opinion in recent years is in favor of the suggestion first made by Alford -- that the fragment was not originally part of Mark's Gospel but that it is an authentic piece of history appended by a contemporary writer. This would account for its absence from some MSS. and its presence in others." ("An Oft Repeated Question," Christian Standard 32 [1896], p.1239).
Immediately one thinks of the "qualification" McGarvey made originally in 1875 in his Commentary -- the historicity and authorship do not depend on coming from Mark's hand. Why is it that McGarvey does not come out as strong as he did in his Commentary? One can see that he has moved in his position regarding the Ending of Mark.
One month later, McGarvey received a question from C.H. Thompson concerning Mark 16.9-20 and Vaticanus. I will quote his reply:
"The question of the genuineness of these verses is one of the most intricate with which textual critics of the New Testament have to deal. At the close of my commentary on Mark, I attempted to set forth the principal evidence, pro and con, as it was known at the time of publication. Since then new light has been thrown upon the question, and the most elaborate discussion of it, in the light of them recently gained information, can be found in the appendix to the Greek text of Westcott and Hort. I think that, after a candid study of the evidence as a whole, it must be conceded that the question is as yet unsettled. It would be reckless to say that the passage is spurious; and it would be hazardous to affirm that these verses are certainly genuine. At the same time, I think it safe to say, as I did before, that the statements contained in them are authentic, whether written by Mark or appended by another hand." (Ending of Mark, Christian Standard 32 [1896], p. 1367).
This is certainly an "evolved" view from his "conclusion" at the end of his Commentary in 1875. He flatly states the question is unsettled and it is hazardous to affirm them as genuine. He returns to his position -- his "out" -- in his commentary. The information in 16.9-20 is accurate whether written by Mark or not. Why? Because the information is all paralleled in the other Gospels. Please note that Burgon is not even on the radar scope of McGarvey any more. In fact McGarvey says that the best discussion to be found is in Westcott and Hort commending that source. There is clear movement, by McGarvey, away from his confident conclusion of 1875.
One should note that the question has moved considerably since 1896. I would say two thirds of the info now available was not in 1896. The status of the versions has changed drastically since then, Burgon's claims about the Church Fathers has been disproved in study after study. Perhaps we can learn from McGarvey's willingness to amend his conclusion in light of further information.
A McGarvey Appendix from a letter I wrote several years ago:
Greetings Brother ... from the land of beer and cheese. Thank you for the copy of the article by Brother Wayne Jackson in the Carolina Christian about Baptism and Mark 16.9-20. I read the article. . . agreeing with some . . . disagreeing with some. My reply will be simply to a few short footnotes to the article.
Before I give my two footnotes on Jackson's article let me say that we should be able to present a biblically based, Christ-centered theology of both the form and function of baptism without recourse to Mark 16.9-20. Now just in case Brother Jackson sees this I confess that I do believe in baptism and Acts 2.38 (all of it). Now to the footnotes.
First the textual issue regarding Mark 16.9-20. Jackson cites J.W. McGarvey as a defender of the authenticity of the "Long Ending" of Mark. McGarvey's Commentary on Matthew and Mark was published in 1875 (if my memory serves) before the publication of Westcott and Hort's Greek NT. It was before the discovery of the Syriac MSS at St. Cathrine's in the Sinai Desert. It was before the discovery of many other evidences that suggest these verses are not authentic. McGarvey's commentary is about as out of date on textual issues as a book on the Solar System from the same period. That is not a put down just a simple fact.
However, McGarvey was an astute student of textual criticism and his views on the "long ending" of Mark went through considerable evolution after 1875. By 1896, writing in his column in the Christian Standard "Biblical Criticism," he indicates that Mark probably did not write verses 9-20. Today there are few scholars of any kind (including Churches of Christ) that accept the authenticity of these verses. There are actually four endings to this Gospel that are known. I would not base any "doctrine" on this text. We have nothing to fear from this. As Jackson says in his article (when he critiques A.T. Robertson) we should let "grammar" (i.e. the TEXT) determine our theology and not theology the text.
Second, it is most fascinating that Jackson uses McGarvey in the manner he did. Why? Because McGarvey did not believe that baptism (immersion) was absolutely, necessarily, essential to salvation on that glorious day of reckoning. He declared this very clearly in the Gospel Advocate in reaction to some he believed were taking extreme views on the issue,
"Dear Bro.:
Replying to yours of the 15th, I have no doubt there are pious persons who have never been immersed. It would be absurd and ridiculous to deny it in the face of what we see and know of thousands of persons living and dead who have exhibited self-sacrificing love of God and man, which puts to shame all common disciples. I have as little doubt that many unimmersed persons will be saved in the final day. It is not necessary in order to contend for scripture teaching on the subject of baptism to take the ground that God has tied his hands and put it out of his power to grant mercy to any who have been misled in regard to that ordinance. He has bound us, but he has not bound himself; except that he is bound to do what he has promised. He has not bound himself to do no more than he has promised. Don't injure the cause of truth by taking positions which rob God of the power to be merciful.
Yours fraternally,
J.W. McGarvey"
(Gospel Advocate [vol 37 [December 12, 1895], 790).
Now I wonder if McGarvey is one of those "apostate change agents" that Jackson was talking about "brother …" But I think McGarvey has some pretty wise words here. We do not have to become folks who rob God of mercy in order to present the biblical theology of baptism. Baptism is, after all, about God's mercy and grace -- to present it as otherwise is to present an untruth.
Concluding Thoughts
I want to recommend an outstanding resource by my friend Stan Helton. Stan has done a yeoman's task sifting through nearly all the articles published on the textual issue of Mark 16 in the Stone Campbell Movement. See his article "Churches of Christ and Mark 16:9-20" in Restoration Quarterly 36 (1994): 33-52. I give him credit for first calling my attention to McGarvey's maturing views.

God has commanded baptism "for the remission of sins". Acts 2:38; 22:16; 9:6; etc. God will not hold some accountable for obeying this command and releases others from obeying it. God cannot lie. Titus 1:2. And He treats mankind fairly. He doesn't require baptism of some TO BE SAVED and forgive and forget about it when others disobey the command whether it is done because of ignorance or willfully. I just wanted to give my 2 cents. Each man shall be judged according to his own sins. Rom. 14:12. Dan Morris

Dan I am delighted you have shared your "2 cents." My intention was to present McGarvey's views. First I do not need Mk 16.9-20 to speak biblically about baptism. I think had McGarvey been alive today given the trend of his thought and the research that has done in the last century that he would have agreed with contemporary scholarship - which is what he appears to be doing in 1896. Second I wanted to show that one could teach and preach baptism and let God be the judge - McGarvey did that beautifully. The Biblical record on more than one occasion shows God being merciful to not simply those who are mistaken but even those who are rebellious ... as he said to Moses - I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy. God is God.

As always, I found your post to be interesting and insightful. I have been a little bit of a student of Stone Campbell history and McGarvey has been an important figure.
I did copy part of your post and placed it in a comment on another blog (Jay Guin's One in Jesus) that has been dealing with the issue of the view of baptism in the CofC. I thought McGarvery's words, and yours, were appropriate to the other blog.

Bobby, fascinating story about McGarvey. Did McGarvey write for The Christian Standard? I didn't come across anything like this during Dr. Robinson's class. I'm sure in my "younger" years I would have rejected such thinking but now I'm a little more open to such. I, like you, know that losing the longer ending of Mark doesn't change my theology of baptism. Or my theology about the authority of God's word.
- Stoned-Campbell Disciple said...
How was your class?? As always I am honored to have you reading and especially commenting.
On McGarvey. McGarvey never was a writer for the Gospel Advocate and certainly not the Firm Foundation. In his opinion they were to extreme.
After the Civil War and the demise Lard's Quarterly ... McGarvey, along with I.B. Grubbs, Lard, and one more whose name is escaping me for a moment began a journal called Apostolic Times. They were pro-society but anti-IM. After the AT died McGarvey became a columnist for the Christian Standard and remains so until his death. McGarvey never left the "Disciples." He spoke at the large centennial gathering in Pittsburgh.
He was a moderate and tried to a large extent embrace the ideals of the "later" Campbell. He could teach baptism without saying God did not reserve the right to be merciful to those who were mistaken. I think McGarvey was probably right.

Bobby, class was absolutely fabulous!. Dr. Robinson is passionate, energetic, and just plain exciting. I have a whole new outlook about our fellowship. Although my views on our history were certainly changed it left me with a renewed commitment to our heritage and fellowship.
I guess in my reading I didn't really catch on to what McGarvey did and what periodicals he wrote for. We really didn't talk much about him in class and I haven't done much reading about him on my own.
I do understand about the "later" Campbell. It is a shame that "our side" of the Stone-Campbell movement took on the Sand Creek mentality instead of the changed Campbell and the Stone mentality. Just shows how much we all need God's grace. - 5:15 AM
- Gardner Hall said...
The fact that God's mercy is his alone to extend should make us avoid saying that we know it will be offered to the "pious unimmersed." Perhaps McGarvey gets too close to that line. Yes, we need to remember that he is merciful and therefore never pronounce sentence of condemnation on those who are unbaptized. But neither should we pronounce sentence of salvation nor in any way offer consolation to those who ignore his teaching that baptism is for remission of sins, saves us, etc. (That's true whether Mark 16:9-20 was written by Mark or not.)
Thanks for the thoughtful analysis. McGarvey is indeed an interesting figure. - 6:33 PM
- Stoned-Campbell Disciple said...
Your concerns certainly do not hinge on Mark 16.9-20. I do not use those verses and I would not be surprised when we get to the New Heavens/New Earth that the autograph of the Gospel of Mark lacks those verses.
I appreciate your concern and I think we need to let God be God. However! And I think we can say this both legitimately and biblically ... God is our Father. And we should be able to "know" our Father.
Based upon my life experience with my Dad I can pretty much predict his response in a given situation. I know him. Surely Christians who have been taught to refer to God with the intimate word "Abba" should "know" their Dad well enough from both Scripture and "life experience" to know him.
Throughout Scripture our Father/Abba is presented as one who "delights" in mercy. He DELIGHTS in it. In spite of our habitual habit of appealing to texts like (half) of Leviticus 10 or Uzzah - texts that are used in a way that is contrary to their intent for neither depict God as acting upon a mere technicality ... as the whole story of both texts makes abundantly clear.
Hosea, Jonah, Ex 34 need to shape the vision we have of our Abba. Thus I have no doubt -- along with Alexander Campbell, Moses Lard and J. W. McGarvey -- that folks like Martin Luther though mistaken on a few matters but not in rebellion will in fact be around the Table of the Lord in the eschaton.
I have seen my Abba's track record.
Bobby V - 8:17 PM
- Gardner Hall said...
Of course when thinking of giants of the reformation and other admirable unimmersed people who have already passed away, it is hard to imagine them as being lost, but the bottom line is that such is not our business, but the Lord's. I like you can hope and even expect that mercy will have been extended to them, but it is not for me to make that determination. I don't have to worry about what God has done with them, because it will have been exactly the just and proper thing.
It is my business, however, to consider how deal with good evangelical friends today who are alive and who have not been immersed into Christ and whether to treat them as full brothers. Can I do that when in the first century, there were simply no unimmersed Christians? Would it not be presumptuous for me to say that such began to be accepted as true disciples around 500 A.D., 1500 AD or whenever?
God's "track record" towards those who do not comply with his conditions seems to depend upon their heart. With some, like the Northerners who ate the Passover without the proper cleansing, he chose to extend his mercy. With many others, however, a lack of attention to God's conditions has indicated presumption, a lackadaisical attitude towards his authority and a trust in men's teaching rather than a focus on Christ. Only God knows the hearts of those who for whatever reason haven't been baptized into his son. The only thing I can base my judgment on regarding whether to accept someone as my brother or not, is whether they have accepted his conditions, whether as penitent believes that have been baptized into Christ and washed away their sins or not. If they haven't, I may admire them and pray that God will extend mercy to them if they pass away without compliance, but I can't treat them as brethren until I can see that they have been washed in the blood of the Lamb. That's the careful, respectful approach that avoids presumption and leaves final judgment up to God. - 5:11 AM
Excellent post. I have come to understand that a person who has never changed their understanding or position on a particular spiritual issue during their life is stuck in a spiritual rut. Such a person is not growing spirutually. No one has perfect understanding. I used to think I did, but I know now without doubt that I will never have perfect understanding. My mind is continually being opened to new truths. I think God enjoys watching my mind grow. He did not grant me perfect understanding at the beginning. I know I have not reached the level of knowledge that McGarvey had, but even McGarvey was continuing to have his mind sharpened. He did not close his mind.

Every January, BIKE Magazine reviews the latest and greatest mountain bikes and accessories. Recently BIKE's review staff stayed in Brevard and evaluated this year's equipment in nearby Pisgah and DuPont Forests. A local newspaper describes their experience.
We frequently have mountain bikers stay at Blue Ridge Cozy Cabin since it's very convenient to nearby trails in both DuPont and Pisgah. We are impressed with their vigor and enthusiasm for the sport. Recently it rained for two of the four days one group was here. When we said we were sorry they had to put up with the rain they exclaimed that they loved it! The wet trails added to their challenge and excitement.

There is just couple of days more for Bollywood Actress Shilpa Shetty's marriage with London Millionaire Raj Kundra. Shilpa and Shamita Shetty being Siddhivinayak bhakths recently visited the famous Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai. Raj Kundra accompanied the Shetty sisters to the temple.
Like Bachchans Shilpa Shetty, Raj Kundra & Shamita Shetty walked their way to Siddhivinayak Temple to take blessing from god for good and happy married life. This is not the first time that Shilpa is visiting Siddhivinayak Temple for blessings. When ever Shilpa is taking any important steps in her life she has always seeked blessings from Siddhivinayak. And, every time the blessing seems to have worked. On this belief note Shilpa, Raj and Shamita visited Siddhivinayak Temple. Check out the special photos of Shilpa, Raj & Shamita Shetty visiting Siddhivinayak Temple in the photo gallery below:

A guidelined speech for Memorial Day has been drafted by The American Legion's Public Relations staff and made available on Legion.org in Word-document or PDF-file format.
The Legion's PR staff releases speeches for patriotic national holidays – as well as for the organization's birthday – as a way for Legionnaires to connect with their communities, or just observe the day with post ceremonies, and emphasize what The American Legion represents. They are not meant to be recited verbatim; members are greatly encouraged to amend them to taste and audience.
All posts are encouraged to upload recaps and photos of their Memorial Day celebrations and other community activities to the blog Legiontown USA. Legiontown is a place for Legionnaires to tell the stories of all the good they do, every day, and to see how other Legionnaires across the country are doing the same.
very good. I will use it, with variations to fit the local memorial day event. thank you
I have used these speeches a number of times for Memorial and Veterans day events. I am able to download the PDF file,but there is no "hot-link" for the word file, which would be very helpful as I adjust the speech for my audience.

UNION — The District 2 Union County Council seat is no longer vacant.
The seat has been vacant since the Sept. 28 death of council member Dora Martin-Jennings. Martin-Jennings, who'd held the District 2 seat for 23 years, announced earlier this year that she would not run for reelection.
In the November general election, businessman Frank Hart was elected to the District 2 seat, but his term does not begin until Jan. 2. As a result, the seat remained vacant.
Until now.
Hart announced Friday evening that he'd been contacted by S.C. District 13 Sen. Shane Martin that Gov. Nikki Haley has appointed him to the District 2 seat. He said this will allow him to represent District 2 for the remainder of Martin-Jennings' term and participate in Tuesday's county council meeting.
"I reached out to Shane Martin after the election about his contacting the governor about appointing me to serve the unexpired term of Mrs. Martin," Hart said. "I felt like it was important that District 2 have representation.
"I look forward to going to work for the district and the county," he said. "I would like to thank Senator Martin and Governor Haley for their assistance."
In addition to seeking appointment to the District 2 seat, Hart also recently resigned as president of the Union County Chamber of Commerce. He resigned to avoid any possible conflict of interest because the chamber receives some funding from the county.
Martin said he initiated the appointment process after being contacted by Hart because he also felt the district needed representation.
"I contacted the governor's office a few weeks ago to get the process started," Martin said Friday evening. "I felt it would be good to go ahead and let them have some representation prior to January.
"I received the email with the executive order late this afternoon appointing him to the District 2 seat," he said. "His appointment will only last until his elected term takes over in January."
Martin said the appointment process was not initiated sooner in order to avoid any conflict with the November election.
In discussing Hart's appointment, Martin recalled Martin-Jennings service to the community and the kindness she showed him over the years.
"Dora Martin was great to me," Martin said. "I knocked on her door when I was campaigning. She helped me meet people in Union and was always very nice to me and my family when we met her at events. She was a great lady and did a good job representing council District 2."

Stormtrooper Costume Hoodie
Maybe it's another drill.
- Officially licensed Star Wars apparel.
- 60% cotton / 40% polyester.
- All-around design for maximum impact.

Maybe it's another drill.
Maybe you're a member of the 501st, but not every occasion calls for full armor. Driving to an event? Easier without the pauldron hindering your lane-change head turn. Filling your gas tank? That blaster rifle may make folks nervously eye the "no smoking" signs. Grocery shopping? The body glove will protect you from the frozen foods section, but the gloves make it hard to get your money out of your wallet. Speaking of which, where do you PUT your wallet if you're a Stormtrooper? It ain't like that butt plate has pockets. So for your casual days, let us offer this option: the Stormtrooper Costume Hoodie. The hood itself is printed, and you can zip it up for additional anonymity.Long-sleeve, full-zip hooded sweatshirt is 60% cotton / 40% polyester. It has two front pockets and black ribbed cuffs and bottom. Although many of the details are screenprinted, we think this is nicer than the Stormtrooper hoodie we previously offered because it has inset panels and embroidered accents. (Check out the arms in the zoom to see what we're raving about.) Note that the zipper extends all the way up the hood. The eyes on the sides of the hood are mesh so they're see-through. We recommend that you turn the hoodie inside out before washing in cold water and tumble dry low or hang to dry.Note: Please reference the table below to choose your size.

Marine: I won't register my weapons (letter to Senator Feinstein)

Senator Dianne Feinstein,
I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the government's right to know what I own. Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection yet decry me having the same a crime. You ma'am have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps Veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one.
I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America.
I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man.
I will not be disarmed to suit the fear that has been established by the media and your misinformation campaign against the American public.
We, the people, deserve better than you.
Respectfully Submitted,
****** Boston

people are going nutz over these ARs now. $1500 ARs are selling for $3500 in person to person sales. people are dum.
No, that's commerce. When people think that something os going to become unattainable, especially a firearm in America. People buy them up, demand out does supply and the price goes through the roof.
What's really funny, is Feinstein is such a seething fucktard, she doesn't realize that she is pushing record gun sales with her push for useless legislation. Whats even better,m is that Heller is still law of the land, so anything over stepping it will end up squashed in the SCOTUS.
Like I said, she should DIAF.
Posted 05 January 2013 - 01:45 PM
Not saying I own a gun or not, but if I did I surely wouldn't register it.
Same reason I don't register anything. What business is it of theirs once I buy it?
So when time comes, they could come collect the easy ones, the ones they know about?
