Heading for Cultural Irrelevance
Topics: Arts & Media, Movies
Courage in the face of opposition
Eric...your commentary on Blind Side was quite salient. It takes courage on the part of LifeWay not to succumb to Christian "political correctness." If we are to be a "redeeming influence in a fallen culture," it requires relevance, judgement and wisdom. If we opt out of the dialog because of some real life depictions of course language and racism, we just simply miss the point. Those sorts of determinations need to be thoughtfully considered based on the overall merit of the material in whatever form. Your piece was excellent, practical, and salted with good sense. Well done.
Blind Sided
while focusing on not becoming irrelevant as the "liberals" have, SBC continues the march toward its own brand of irrelevance - Fundemental irrelevance. Thom, God forbid holding principle and doing what is right above your meeting.
Focus of our Efforts
Mr. Metaxas makes some excellent points but may have lost the forest for the trees.
First, his comments re. "The Blind Side" appear to be right-on. Our hyper-sensitivity to incidentals (bad language, brief, but appropriate, nudity, etc.) stigmatizes us as unthinking and intolerant bigots. Ergo, we lose credibility in the court of public opinion. Influence is lost due to our unthinking intolerance.
Second, (and this is critically important) we must be aware of the "normalization" of deviant behaviors, as in the case of J C Penney's advertisements. Besides the fact that they cater to homosexuals (and those who promote this lifestyle) they also subtly "normalize" this lifestyle.
Dealing with this threat to our society requires both wisdom and diplomacy, traits which many of us lack.
Our assignment is to identify this dysfunctional lifestyle for what it is while loving its victims. A formidable task.
May God give us wisdom.
from Thom Rainer
I understand fully your concerns. We removed the movie because of the likelihood that the issue would have been a major focus at our annual denominational meeting. We were finally electing our first African American president, and we simply did not want to distract from that historic moment.
Mr. Metaxis' article is very well written. I have nothing but respect for him.
Thank you for being a loyal LifeWay customer. I hope we don't lose you.

J.C. Penney's
I'm 100% in agreement with you, Eric, on the issue of The Blind Side; it's an excellent movie and it should NOT be removed from any Christian or non-Christian bookshelf. But I think you missed the mark when it comes to JC Penney's. They hired Ms. De Generes BECAUSE she is openly gay, and she refers to this often on her talk show. Penney's also had ads with two moms for Mother's Day. De Generes was most likely a case of Penney's planned step to embrace the radical homosexual agenda. I am a rep in our state of MN to help preserve traditional marriage--MN is THE battleground state and we are under attack. To date Penney's, Home Depot, Starbucks, Target and now General Mills have come out in support of same sex marriage. These corporations have turned their backs on large portions of their shareholders and customer and we NEED to make our voices heard on this issue if we are to impact our culture for Christ!
Blind Sided
Mr. Metaxas: While I agree with your disappointment about LifeWay removing the Blind Side DVDs, I don't agree about J.C.Penny & their support & promotion of the Gay lifestyle. I think that to a large extent our quiet acceptance of this immorality on it's many fronts has led to it being emboldened in even more places and ways. I don't think we are being petty to uphold God's standard - too shrill at times and some may appear to be unloving (Which admittedly is a thin line to walk), but homosexuality and abortion are sin (at least in my bible) and to legalize it, support it or agree with it is wrong. Our culture is slipping because we are not salt and light - as individuals, congregations, churches and also as citizens and consumers. I don't think these sins are greater than any others and I too am a sinner but I'm not demanding that my sin be accepted and legalized.
- Blessings on you and yours and our church and our country!
Swatting at gnats...
So sad..as the movie made a definite impact on many (at least per the conversations I heard).
My 13 year old son (adopted from foster care...possibly with a mom like the tragic birth mom portrayed in the movie) particularly enjoyed the movie!
And he learned from it. We did discuss the Charge of the Light Brigade essay...for instance...and the importance of supporting one's team (military unit...etc.)
I do evaluate movies and weigh the negative versus the positive. Thus, tho I think the old movie "Cabaret" an excellent way to show how Nazis could overtake the self-indulgent 1920s===early 1930s culture of post World War 1 Germany, I will not purchase "Cabaret" as its sexual excesses WAY cross the line. It nets out too destructive overall.
But the objectionable things in "Blind Side" are small versus the HUGE power of the true story!!!

A recent rash of copper thefts across the state has highlighted the value of a new law that requires scrap metal dealers to register with the secretary of state's office.
The database is just one requirement of Senate Bill 528 that passed the West Virginia Legislature earlier this year. The bill was created to help law enforcement track people who sell stolen material, such as copper, to recycling centers. The law also requires people who sell more than five catalytic converters to have their fingerprints on file with the recycler along with a copy of a photo ID. Catalytic converters include precious metals platinum, palladium and rhodium.
The searchable database lists the recycling center's address, hours of operation and phone number. Recycling centers are not charged a fee for registering with the secretary of state's office.
Recent copper theft incidents took place in Cass, Charleston Ravenswood and Logan, where a man was electrocuted while trying to steal copper, according to police. Secretary of State Natalie Tennant pointed out that stealing copper is not only illegal, but dangerous and sometimes fatal.
"If there is nowhere to sell the stolen material, it should cut down on these types of crimes," she said. "By making this database available to the public and to the police, we are trying to help make it harder for someone to sell their stolen copper to recycling centers. Dozens of recycling centers are following the law and registering, showing that they stand with this office and the police in eliminating a foolish crime that can result in power outages for thousands of people or death for the ones who try to commit it."
Possible copper thefts can be reported directly to a West Virginia State Police detachment or by using the website www.scraptheftalert.com. The database can be found on the secretary of state's website at www.wvsos.com.

I bet that most of you mothers out there had to contend at some point in time about picky eaters in the family. This is a normal thing in our home and I consider Princess Two a very normal kid in this aspect. As soon as she sees meat on the table, she will say, "I don't like that" and no amount of persuasion will make her change her mind...until I found an effective technique. Last night, our dinner was mashed potatoes, gravy, and pork chop so I shaped the gravy like a volcano, put gravy in the middle as the lava, and when the volcano exploded, the lava flowed, and there were rocks (pork chop slices) along the way. For a change, Princess Two just kept on swallowing the mashed potato with the pork chop without a fuss as we kept on pretending that she was eating an exploding volcano. I tell ya, motherhood really brings out an excessive amount of imaginative creativity in you.

Burning question: How do you

Stayed in Aqua class so had most dinners in Blu. The food and service was outstanding. Service was fantastic all around. Buffet was good also with many selections. Ship and rooms clean. Loved the shower in the Aqua class room. The balcony was a good size.
Embarkation and disembarkation was very organized. We planned our own excursions so I can't comment on the ship's offerings. It was much less expensive that way. We didn't use the PersianGarden. I checked it out and it seemed claustrophobic. No windows and very small. The heated lounges were really chairs in the middle of the "Garden" tiny room and not as described. The daily Celebrity Today news was very helpful and also came with daily spa and salon specials so don't pre-book them. Ladies - bring your own blow dryer. The one they provide requires that you hold down the button the whole time or it shuts off. The pools and hot tub were all great. We were lucky to be up there during a long streak of beautiful summer weather. Felt like a Caribbean cruise at times!
We also planned our own land tour which was much more cost effective. We used both Toursaver and northern lights coupons. There are a lot of duplicates so next time I would probably get one. The first night the show was like watching an episode of Lawrence Welk! Very boring but we gave them another chance and the following shows were much, much better. Some of the crew were a bit English challenged if you asked a question but there was no problem with the front line staff. Hubbard glacier was amazing but we didn't't see it calve. Bottom line is that we would definitely recommend this cruise. We also saved a lot of money by using Cruise Compete. Got it for about half of the list price and it included the alcohol package!

How long can you survive?
If the dimensions of the game are too big for your screen, increase your screen resolution.
This is my first game, I spent about 6 months learning the glorious actionscript while I made it.
Story mode is coming some time in the future.

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars October 20, 2011
good idea, but needs work
I really don't like it in a top-down game when your weapons-fire pops at the point you clicked, rather than travelling forward from the character. It breaks immersion and isn't a good game mechanic. Leveling-up was a bit abstract; increasing raw numbers makes it hard to feel like my characters' improving his math skills, not his fighting ability.
Good music.

Interesting article in today's NYT. Apparently, France is now importing quite a bit of foreign beef. Have to admit that I was never impressed with beef in France, especially once when ordering specifically a steak from Charolais, which I thought was such an ooh-la-la thing there. I expected to be wowed, and wasn't.
I also laughed out loud at the comment one restaurauteur made about people ordering medium rare.

Howard, who left Tuesday's overtime loss at Nashville early, got run into during practice on Monday. And forward Mikael Samuelsson is expected to miss at least the next two weeks because of a fractured finger on his left hand. The Red Wings are now 12-points behind the Blackhawks in the Central Division.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I, personally, am not a big fan of this 'foam sword' model as it appears to be dubbed as. However, personal taste is everything in this game. I prefer swords over axes/maces in terms of 2h looks, but others in my guild swing other directions (pun not entirely intended). Diversity is everything and is good.
You can't deny though this model has been used *so* much this expansion which probably makes haters hate it more. Leveling through some lower levels it is really disappointing to find some low level greens that have amazing artwork and last all of an hour because you level so fast.
The saving grace, in my mine, is at least it isn't the model that has the pink/red look to it. The blue makes it much more tolerable for an alt to use when push comes to shove. I'll still be logging out in my PvP weapon though so I don't have to see it on the loading screen! Haha.

The Duggars -- Nineteen and Counting?!
Let me first say, hats off to Michelle Duggar. She's an incredible woman, and most people couldn't do half of what she does in one day. I know I can't.
But consider this: The Duggars' nineteenth baby, Josie, was born prematurely and spent weeks in the hospital before she was able to go home and join her eighteen brothers and sisters. On top of that, she had a perforated bowel and digestive problems that threatened her life. At that point, most of America thought the Duggars would call it quits on their baby-making days. Not so.
Both parents are in their mid-to-late 40s. When Josie is 20, they will be in their late 60s. Sad to think, but they probably won't live to see many of their grandchildren, or be fit enough to wrestle around with their kids on the playground without some serious aches and pains. Is it even possible to attend emotionally to that many kids and give them the attention that each one needs as a unique individual? Most of us have trouble doing so with just one or two kids.
Image what it's like with nineteen ... or twenty.
And what about the social implications? "People think we are overpopulating the world," said Jim Bob in a recent issue of People Magazine. "We are following our convictions." Point well taken, Jim Bob, but is it fair to the children -- and to your wife, who stands to have another bout of preeclampsia and risk having a fatal stroke? What would you do as a single father of 20?
Yes, the Duggars might "want" to have more kids, but what will the quality of life be like for that twentieth child? Help me out here, moms. What do you think about the fact that the Duggars are openly trying for baby number 20?
We should take Michelle Duggar's vagina and fill it with cement.
Well when you just pop out babies and don't actually raise them like Michelle Duggar you can have 30 and it wouldn't be any more work for her. Her enslaved daughters, the REAL mothers, on the hand should probably be asked if they feel like raising anymore babies. SO sad -they are like showing off their child abuse.
The above two comments are offensive to me. While I myself question the wisdom of having another child in their case, they aren't asking anyone else to support them. They also have some really great kids, so I don't see that as a problem. This is still America, and they can have 50 if they want them—and it seems that they do. Would that all children were as wanted and well cared for as the Duggar kids!
Wow, everybody mind your own business. This is no different than someone wagging a finger at someone with one child and saying, "You're not having any more?! Don't you know only children are spoiled? You need to give her a brother or sister!" What's it to YOU how many kids another woman has. And another point I always want to make: why is it SO shocking to hear that someone with 19 wants more?? "When is enough enough?" you say. From my perspective, once you have, like, 6, what's another one? And another? Is 20 THAT much different than 19? Weren't you the same people who were SO shocked when the Duggars had #16?
I say as long as their supporting themselves, and are financially responsibe, leave them alone. They can have all the kids they want.
first of all, before you write an article about them maybe you should do a little research. they aren't in their mid to late 40's. Jim Bob is 46, Michelle is 44. That to me is early-to-mid 40's. That means when Josie is 20, Michelle will be 64 and Jim Bob will be 66.
Now, if you are willing to give Michelle Duggar control of your uterus, since you seem to want control of hers, by all means, judge away.
all i say is its there life, if they want more so be it. from what i have seen they are a wonderful family, heck i wish i could do half the things they can do. it may seem crazy to push out so many kids but that is not up to us to say enough is enough. i find it amazing how well all her kids are health wise and how caring all her kids are with other people. their family is so full of love and faith. lets stop looking at how many kids they have or want to have and learn to treat others they way they treat others. some of you could learn a thing or 2 from this family!!
they kinda make me sick. they don't learn… when your babies come earlier and earlier and have to be in NICU cuz they are months and months early your body is telling you that 19 is enough!!! step off the baby train and just enjoy the kids and grandkid you have
Nobody can really raise children completely on their own. When there are that many, you're definitely going to need help doing the work and paying the bills. The Duggars seem to manage financially by making their kids live their lives on TV for our entertainment. They also must have had lots of help paying for the health care of their premature babies and Mrs. Duggar's time in the hospital.
Although I do agree with some of your concerns, I also know that Michelle will only have another one if her doctors think it is healthy for her and if God sees fit. I think the fact that they live by God's expectations and not the worlds expectations really throws people off. However, God is providing them with what they need to care for these children then they are blessed. Every family has to do what is best for them and what they believe in.
Cyndi and Mamabear - Amen to you. If all children turned out as smart, self-confident, self-disciplined as the Duggar children our school/crime problems would disappear. May each of the Duggar children be as wonderful parents as their own and May God continue to bless this terrific family!
Cyndi and Mamabear - Amen to you. If all children turned out as smart, self-confident, self-disciplined as the Duggar children our school/crime problems would disappear. May each of the Duggar children be as wonderful parents as their own and May God continue to bless this terrific family!
The Duggars just happened to have three older girls who have taken on the role of mothers/nannies. I wonder what Michelle and Jim Bob's life would have been like if they had had older boys instead? Would they be so ready to have as many children as possible if they'd not had these girls to take on the parenting role?
Would that all children were as wanted and well cared for as the Duggar kids!
Apparently that poster is about slave labor and having children raised by their siblings. The Duggars are a cult!
heck i wish i could do half the things they can do
If you pimp out your kids for money and have your daughters raise all your babies, clean your house, educate your kids while you just pop out more babies you could do all the stuff they do.
They are the BIGGEST hypocrites -they talk about the evils of television and yet that's how they make their living.
"If all children turned out as smart, self-confident, self-disciplined"
Sorry, but those kids are about as dumb as bricks - have you ever heard them speak?
And as for discipline, brainwashing will do that to you - they have no thoughts or opinions of their own. And the rhetoric they reiterate from their parents they have zero understanding of what it actually means.
The girls are just their to raise the children and clean the house until they are sold off to a husband where they will make more babies and clean a new house. It is comparable to child abuse.
First off, I commend the Duggars!! They're really nice people and have great kids. I'd actually like to meet them, they seem so welcoming.
With that said, I'm worried about Michelle's & the next baby(babies') health! I mean, her last one as everyone has mentioned had problems and came way too early. Being a mother myself, I honestly don't know what I would do if one of my babies were early & had health issues. I'd want to enjoy them when we were able to being them home, not think about/try for another baby!
To each his own though. Let them do what they want. I think everyone can agree that we'd be more worried about the health instead of who raises the kids, their finances, etc. It's not about that people! Can her body do it, carry any more babies? I hope her doctors tell her no more… I wouldn't want to read about them actually losing a baby, that'd be way too heartbreaking.
Well, statistically speaking, at least 4 or 5 of their kids will be gay.
Either way, my heart goes out to those kids…they don't have a "mother" at all.
Although *I* would not make the same choices as the duggars have I don't believe any of us can condemn these people without knowing much more than what we see on tv.
While I don't agree with the amount of work the older children seem to be doing the flip side of that is the strong work ethic all of these children have when helping others during church missions. The helping spirit they all seem to have is one we need more not less of in this world.
Your article is a tad biased and not very informative though. Just because a woman has preeclampsia with one pregnancy does not mean she will then have preeclampsia with subsequent pregnancies. You can not condemn them based on having one premie. That is unfair, as is many of the comments posted here.
I may not agree with some of their parenting choices but at least the duggars are making choices. We would do better to actually condemn people who are doing things such as beating their children to death or condemning the child welfare system who allows abuses to happen over and over again. Having a large family is not abuse.

Interbrand's Best Global Brands 2013 celebrations continue globally, and as part of the launch events, Interbrand Toronto hosted an event at Shangri-La Restaurant in Toronto. The event was a discussion-focused dinner, gathering senior marketers of some of Canada's most prominent brands.
Alfred DuPuy, Managing Director of Interbrand Toronto, ignited the dialogue with an overview of the report and its theme: Leadership - What it means for Canadian Brands. "In such a complex and nuanced atmosphere, it's apparent to us that leadership has never been more integral to a brand's success," he said.
"The really cool thing is that we're seeing this kind of leadership development right here in Canada," DuPuy added. "We're proving we are able competitors on the global stage."
Throughout the evening, the buzz around how Canadian brands lead could be heard through a number of emerging areas of focus – from Customer Brand Engagement to Brand Governance and Corporate Citizenship.
If the BGB Canada event was any indication, the opportunity for Canadian brands to lead in an ever-changing marketplace is abundant. We are looking forward to seeing how these brands rise to the challenges they face.

eyeshadow- GOLDEN GLOW
In a recent interview with SELF magazine, Miranda gets real about body image & beauty-
"I don't care about being stick-thin. I don't want stuff to jiggle. Really skinny actresses make me hungry—I see them and think, Honey, you need to eat! I'm lucky I don't have to live like that. I feel my best when I'm a toned, not flabby, size 8. Women come up to me and say, 'You're beautiful and confident, and that makes me feel I can be, too.'"
"I always scarf down food after a show. But now, instead of eating a burger, I'll have a grilled-chicken salad waiting for me. And except for almonds and bananas, I don't keep snacks on the bus. I don't want Cheetos anywhere around me."
"I won't give up what I enjoy to look perfect. I want to find a happy medium between feeling good about my body and still having a beer and some barbecue."
"I live on hairspray. The bigger the hair, the closer to God."
"I don't mind having a big butt. I actually like that about myself."
"I say what I think. My song 'Gunpowder and Lead' is about domestic violence. When I saw [Chris Brown perform] at the Grammys, it upset me. I felt like the entertainment industry wasn't sending a good message. So I tweeted about it. ["He beat on a girl…. Not cool that we act like that didn't happen."]
I could have kept it to myself, but I'm glad I didn't. If I saw him, I'd say, 'We need to talk about you not doing this ever again.' And I might have to use some curse words to get my point across."

Report from Alzheimer's Association International Conference 2014 demonstrates benefits of full healthcare treatment for people with Alzheimer's and other dementias
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, July 13, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Cataract surgery for people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias not only improves vision but can slow decline in cognition and improve quality of life for both people with the disease and their caregivers, according to clinical trial results reported today at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference® 2014 (AAIC® 2014) in Copenhagen.
"This study supports the Alzheimer's Association view that people with dementia retain, and benefit from, full healthcare treatment," said Maria Carrillo, Ph.D., Alzheimer's Association vice president of Medical and Scientific Relations. "Too common attitudes such as, 'There's no need for extra care' or 'Why put them through all of that' are not justified and are bad medical practice."
"Appropriate thoughtfulness and restraint are necessary when considering surgery or other procedures for people with Alzheimer's or another dementia. However, we should not assume that medical procedures cannot be pursued or are too risky. As these new results show, improving sensory abilities, for example, can provide benefits in a variety of ways – for people with Alzheimer's and also for their caregivers from whom unnecessary burden can be lifted," Carrillo said.
At AAIC 2014, Alan J. Lerner, M.D. of Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals Case Medical Center and colleagues reported interim results from an ongoing clinical trial to determine the effects of cataract removal on several measures of visual ability, cognitive measures, and quality of life in people with dementia. Study participants are recruited from dementia and ophthalmology clinics at University Hospitals Case Medical Center and MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio, and are divided into two groups: (1) immediate surgery following recruitment and (2) delayed or refused surgery. Vision and cognitive status, mood, and capability to complete daily activities are evaluated at baseline and six months after recruitment, or six months after surgery.
Preliminary analysis of results from 20 surgical and eight non-surgical participants showed that the surgical group had significantly improved visual acuity and quality of life, reduced decline in memory and executive functioning, and improvements in behavioral measures compared with the non-surgical group. Levels of perceived burden for caregivers of people in the surgical group also showed improvement.
"These preliminary results indicate that improved vision can have a variety of benefits for people with dementia and their loved ones, both visual and non-visual," said Lerner. "Our findings need to be verified in a larger study, but they suggest the need to aggressively address dementia co-morbidities such as vision-impairing cataracts, while balancing safety and medical risks."
"If the results hold up, it will significantly affect how we treat cataracts in individuals with dementia. Other interventions to offset sensory loss – including vision and hearing – may help improve quality of life for people with dementia and their caregivers," Lerner added.
According to the Alzheimer's Association, a person with dementia has the right to any medical treatment available. People with the disease may require longer courses of some treatments such as rehabilitative therapies compared to people with intact cognition. Therapies that may be of benefit should not be discontinued because a person with Alzheimer's has failed to make progress as the same rate as someone without the disease.
Making medical decisions about treatment remains the right of the person with Alzheimer's until he or she no longer has the cognitive capacity to understand the decision. At that time, medical decisions are made by the person's surrogate. The Alzheimer's Association recommends that preferences about medical treatment and decisions should be addressed early in the disease process through the execution of advance directives. Absent an advance directive, the surrogate decision maker should be guided by the values and any expressed wishes of the person with Alzheimer's disease.
With the support of the Alzheimer's Association and the Alzheimer's community, the United States created its first National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease in 2012. The plan includes the critical goal, which was adopted by the G8 at the Dementia Summit in 2013, of preventing and effectively treating Alzheimer's by 2025. It is only through strong implementation and adequate funding of the plan, including an additional $200 million in fiscal year 2015 for Alzheimer's research, that we'll meet that goal.

About AAIC
The Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) is the world's largest gathering of leading researchers from around the world focused on Alzheimer's and other dementias. As a part of the Alzheimer's Association's research program, AAIC serves as a catalyst for generating new knowledge about dementia and fostering a vital, collegial research community. Scientists leading the advancement of research gather to report and discuss the most current data on the cause, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders.
About the Alzheimer's Association
The Alzheimer's Association is the world's leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research. Our mission is to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.
