SAN FRANCISCO (BP) -- As a Christian living in a very post-Christian San Francisco, I have found myself questioning the way the Christian community engages culture.
With the debate over gay marriage and other issues related to homosexuality, the cultural divide over abortion, the odd Christianization of war policy and gun control, and the fight for Christian symbols in school, government, media and marketing, it seems that many Christians tend to connect the collective moral fiber of our country to our laws, our politics or our media -- that Christian principles somehow give us a "Christian" identity as a country.
We clearly like to be in the majority and like culture to validate our faith and our moral decisions. We like to be popular. Yet nothing in the Bible points to a Christian majority or cultural acceptance of our beliefs.
Rather than sweeping majorities, popular influence and laws that line up with Scripture, we are promised to be odd, persecuted outcasts who leave all, die to all, endure all and serve all for the cause of Christ. We are not called to lead people to shiny churches designed to meet all their needs. Our calling is not to clean up society or legislate morality or overthrow government, or to tie tax and survivor benefits to the biblical truth of marriage. We are called simply to reach the world with the amazing love of Jesus Christ, to help reconcile a lost and disconnected world back into relationship with God through Christ.
Christianity's rise to power and cultural influence caused us to fit comfortably into culture, rather than standing out from culture. We faced little opposition to our bold assertions of our belief system. In many parts of our country Christianity and church were entrees into business and society. As culture began to shift from Judeo-Christian values, we reacted and began to look less and less like Jesus. We asserted our rights instead of understanding that Christianity stripped us of rights. We demanded acceptance instead of graciously enduring rejection. Some of us, meanwhile, began to redefine our Christianity to create something more palatable for society.
We forgot that God is not concerned whether a country looks or acts Christian any more than He is concerned about whether a person looks or acts Christian. He is concerned about the hearts and souls of people.
The rise of cultural Christianity created many Christian lives that were just like secular lives, but with added rules and a "get out of hell free" card. There is a very real possibility that many who claim to follow Christ will fall away as Christianity becomes less and less culturally acceptable.
But as the ranks of professing Christians become smaller, my prayer is that our smaller numbers would become more focused on shining the light of Christ in a very dark world. What if instead of fighting for the culture to validate us, we did what Jesus told us to do and turned the other cheek and loved those who hate and persecute us? What if we, with no strings attached, began to use our God-given gifts of leadership and creativity and finances and time to truly seek the welfare of our cities? What if the world saw Christians really living differently?
We have perhaps claimed a different moral standard, but have we really lived differently? Have we forgiven when the world says to seek revenge? Have we loved sacrificially and unconditionally when others have hated us? Have we respected our leaders even when they do not honor our beliefs? Have we shown mercy to those both deserving and undeserving of mercy? Have we fought for all people, even those whose lives are in great contrast to biblical principles, to be treated with dignity?
The body of Christ stands before an open door of opportunity as the world moves further away from cultural Christianity. The door is open for amazing growth, hope and testimony. The door is open for a true, living orthodoxy. We don't follow Christ because we get tax benefits or because the Ten Commandments hang on the courthouse walls. We follow Christ because Christ is worthy of our following and because we desire to be part of the work He is doing all over the world.
Perhaps, in the end, we will see lives radically changed. And all these issues that distract us will assume their proper place. And we, fully reconciled to the living God of the universe, will succeed as God's agents to this world -- walking others into the beauty that is the life reconciled to God through Christ.

There's a plan on the table in Brentwood that could bring a true "downtown" feeling.
Some city leaders are backing a re-zoning scheme that would mean $200 million in mixed-use projects.
But some neighbors are worried the work would drastically disrupt their lives.
"Currently Brentwood does not have a downtown, or a downtown center, so the proposal there would, in fact, create a downtown area for Brentwood," said Brentwood City Manager Mike Walker. "We're talking in terms of a $200 million investment."
For Walker, this is the vision - a 970,000-square-foot multi-use development including retail, offices, a movie theater and condo units, all to be called the Streets of Brentwood, on Maryland Way.
"We have a proposed re-zoning of two parcels that are basically at the intersection of our commercial district in town from C1, which is office use, to C4, which is town center, a mixed-use zoning district," said Walker.
The project won't go up for any formal consideration until January, but already Jami Hill is concerned.
"My property is right here," said Hill. "This this is the property line for the project. It's very close."
Hill said her neighborhood is a quiet spot. She's afraid she's in for a drastic change.
"It directly abuts to our property lines, and that is unprecedented in Brentwood," said Hill. "There is nowhere else in Brentwood where C4 zoning directly backs up to residential."
As for neighbors' concerns of increased traffic, Walker said a mixed-use development will distribute traffic over a broader period of time.
With makers and a public notice up already, Hill said she just wants to be a part of the discussion.
"We want people to realize we are neighbors, we are homeowners and we're not just pieces of property," said Hill.
The proposal goes to the Brentwood Planning Commission for review and recommendation on Jan. 7. The public hearing before the city commission is Jan. 14, which is where residents can voice their thoughts and concerns.

NAB says 105,000. What do you say?
The 2008 NAB Show is over, and the NAB reports that registered attendance was just more than 105,000. This figure is only 3,000 fewer than the 2007 convention. It seems like there were a lot fewer than 3,000 people on the floor this year.
As I have said many times before, registered attendance really means nothing. Like most conventions, I hold more than one badge (news media, exhibitor, speaker and full convention). I'm told that I only count once, but I don't buy it.
I have talked to exhibitors and attendees, and the general feeling is that attendance was more likely closer to 80,000 or so. That's 25 percent less than registered. Because the NAB does not track actual attendance, we'll never really know.
It wouldn't be difficult for the NAB to track actual attendance. At some AES conventions, all badges are scanned when they enter the convention. Another way would be to imbed an RF ID chip in each badge holder and have attendees enter through sensor gates.
Until then we'll just have to guess at the real attendance figures.

Raising world consciousness is fundamental to sustainable living.
There are plenty of solutions available to solve the world's surface
problems. But they are not being adopted fast enough due to stress, lack
of creativity and outdated paradigms. All these blocks are a function
of consciousness.
The individual is the unit of society and also the instrument of
social change. This is one reason why everyone on campus practices
Transcendental Meditation. Research shows that this simple, natural
technique directly raises intelligence, creativity and
self-actualization, gearing people up to become change-makers.

She like the willow weeps,
as the passage of time creeps.
Apple blossoms petals fall,
She a delicate porcelain doll.
The sweet jasmine night warm,
a calm before the storm.
Lightning flashes in bespeckled haze,
Hope ebbs to an obscure decay.
A kimono of lotus blossom white,
She swathed in stardust that night.
Butterflies adorned her raven hair,
She awaits her dragon warrior there.
A top the weathered bamboo bridge,
Eyes scanning the horizon's ridge.
The channel over waters so serene,
With tendrils of rose vines, yellow, green.
Trailing in the bittersweet waters of sorrow,
Promises fragmented for tomorrow.
The beauty couldn't calm the tears,
His absence confirmed her fears.
Midnight came and departed,
A fragile love brokenhearted.
Her dragon warrior gone to war,
Had not returned like times before.
Gossip whispered of his death,
A brave hero till his last breath.
With faith she steadfast held tight,
But crumbling, it vanished that night.
Season's cycle will gentle a loss you feel,
In time a wounded heart will heal.
Lotus blossom, please don't cry,
Lament to the winds a woeful good-bye.

Go Back
Every year the winter holiday decorations seem to appear even earlier than the year before. The Christmas trees at the mall, the lights on people's homes, the holiday banners on city streets — all arrive before we've had a chance to eat our Halloween candy.
Retailers recognize our growing desire to get a jump on the buying (or at least the researching) of holiday gift lists, as well as the wish to stay at home on a comfy couch and browse online, versus fighting the crowds and lining up in the cold to get one of a limited number of door buster deals. In response, they offered online deals prior to Black Friday.It paid off. Online spending increased 33 percent on Thanksgiving Day this year, and the average online spend over the course of the following weekend saw a 16 percent spike. And with these deals available, along with the added convenience of product reviews, price comparisons, larger inventories, and in many cases free shipping, it's no wonder more and more shoppers are choosing the ease of online shopping. The so-called Cyber Monday is actually a Cyber Season.While I am certainly one of those early online shoppers hoping to find a deal before I'm forced to wade through the masses at my local mall, I am a little dismayed by the ever-earlier beginning of holiday season. Maybe the urge is less acquisitive and more wishful than it appears. Perhaps those neighbors putting up their Christmas lights before Thanksgiving do have a yearning for the holiday "magic" that once could only be found in sparkling store windows back when shopping was a family event, or the tree lighting on mainstreet that was a community tradition.
I fear, however, that drawing out the period of what was once childlike anticipation and turning it into a two-and-a-half-month marathon of call-and-response for deals actually removes any vestige of holiday magic and the role brick-and-mortar retail once played. The truth is, we have become such deal-hungry and deal-expecting shoppers, we look for deals all year long. And the holiday creep is beginning to feel like the dubious practice of ambulance chasing — kind of creepy, a little desperate and certainly unimaginative.The drawn-out holiday may be yet another sign that the brick-and-mortar store needs to find a way to become relevant and compelling in changed world, in a way that transcends deals.

Jessica Simpson and fiancé Eric Johnson returned to his hometown of Boston just a few days before Thanksgiving.
On Tuesday evening, the pair visited Zebra's Bistro and Wine Bar in Medfield, Mass., just outside the city.
Simpson wore knee-high stiletto boots as she and Johnson enjoyed martinis at the restaurant, before tucking into a cheese plate, shrimp cocktail, cast iron pan-seared salmon and grilled bistecca.

Cranston headed to Zinneken's with a couple friends, where he feasted on the Cambridge mainstay's signature meal: Belgian waffles.
Opting for blueberry, strawberry and banana waffles – sans bacon – Cranston "was just a regular guy," the restaurant's manager told PEOPLE. "He was cool to people."
Dressed casually in a striped shirt and Los Angeles Dodgers hat, Cranston had no problem posing for a quick photo with one of the restaurant's employees, a big Breaking Bad fan.
"When we asked if we can take a picture, he was like 'sure!' " said the manager.

Why Detroit's lights went out and how the city plans to get them back on
It's one of the most visible emblems of Detroit's mismanagement and decades-long decline miles of streets, thoroughfares and neighborhoods in the dark because of thousands of inoperable street lights.
An update on Detroit with a slightly different angle. The power's out. "Across the city's 139 square miles, tens of thousands of other people are still living in the dark and with all the problems that brings — more crime and traffic accidents and a heightened sense of vulnerability that forces many to plan their lives around the setting sun for fear of getting mugged on their own streets."

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

One West End woman's battle to get the county to pay attention to her neighborhood's intersection is starting to show results.
In September, Catherine Drooger, who lives off Ridgefield Parkway and Cambridge Drive, ended up with scrapes while dodging a speeding driver.
Since then, county leaders and police say they've taken action. She says she's heard from county leaders, but hopes more neighbors will show their support.
"I have heard from Pat O'Bannon, our Tuckahoe, Henrico County representative," she said.
O'Bannon released a statement, saying, "The Traffic Engineer's office, the Division of Police and Recreation and Parks have all been very attentive to her concerns, and they have all been attempting to help."
The help, according to Henrico Police, has come in the form of three traffic studies here. Police say more than 2,000 cars were monitored between October and December.
Only 15 speeding tickets were written.
A third traffic study is still ongoing.
"I have seen more monitoring by the police, which was promised," said Drooger.
Still, she says what she sees tells a different story.
"I have seen pets killed on this road, children almost hit, myself almost hit - this is a dangerous road."
Drooger did try to get support from her neighbors. The area qualifies for an extra $200 fine for anyone caught speeding. But she needs 300 signatures from people living here. As of Wednesday, she has not reached that number. The neighborhood has a "No-Soliciting" policy which could complicate things.
"It's going to have to take a tragedy in order for something to be done, in my estimation," she fears.
County traffic engineers say there are plans to paint lines for the crosswalks at the intersection. Engineers also say they are going to monitor the timing of the pedestrian signal to see if it needs to be changed.
Board supervisor O'Bannon is offering to help Drooger get those signatures by holding a neighborhood meeting in February. Details are still being worked out.

Wii Fit Plus - Improvement but not Gold
The Overview : The Wii Fit Plus came out and seemed to be a mile ahead of the first game (Wii Fit) after seeing the features but fell short of excellence by a few steps.
The Purpose : Some would say the main purpose of the Wii fit is to provide a fun family workout. The purpose is... Read full review »
Great family fun and a workout too!

Useless if you're actually fit
I bought Wii Fit because everyone was saying how much fun it is, how they lost weight, etc etc-my conclusion: the only people who lost weight doing Wii Fit must have stepped off the couch for the first time.

Wii Fit Plus is basically Wii Fit "plus" some new moves and ways to play. If you haven't bought Wii Fit, just skip it and buy Wii Fit Plus.

Better as a game than a workout.
The Wii Fit is fun, but not a great workout. Its hard to get your heart rate up for a long period of time because the activities are relatively short with a long break between while you move to the next one. It is fun as a game. I also don't like the fact that you can't skip over... Read full review »
Using it has motivated me to exercise on and OFF the Wii!

Fun but not very challenging.

I didn't possess the Wii Match prior to the "Plus" edition arrived out, but I waited to buy it simply because I noticed it was likely to be much better than the very first a single (i.e. have a lot more video games).

One of the best decisions I have ever made was to buy the Wii Fit. It is one of the few things that has ever made me want to exercise. It's just so much fun.

On Jan. 8, Reeba Glass lost all of her children but one in a deadly house fire.
Glass Conyers' home caught fire after investigators said her son Darnell Glass, 6, was playing with a lighter.
Darnell is too young to know the impact of what he did, only that his brothers and sister are gone.
"(I told Darnell) 'They are with God, in a better place. He left me with you and you with me," Glass said. "He just knows they are gone and he misses them."
Glass suffered serious burns to 40 percent of her body trying to save her children. Glass was only able save Darnell.
Her four other children: Ah' Dariya Glass, 9; Dar'shawn Glass, 7; Armoni Roberts, 3; and Deon Glass, 8 months old, all died in the fire.
"The only thing different is not waking up four more kids in the morning, not cooking a big meal anymore, I am dealing with it in so many different ways," Glass said. "Everything reminds me of them, everything. Cooking, cleaning, the quietness; it hurts my ears with the quietness."
On Tuesday, the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners also proclaimed Feb. 5 as Lamonta Stroud and Richard Slater appreciation day.
The brothers put their lives in danger to try and save the trapped children.
They were honored at Tuesday's board of commissioners meeting.
"My brother tried to bust the window out to get the kids," Slater said. "I wish I could have done more. But, I am honored that I am recognized for what I did try to do."
"I feel like I just want to move on from it, and live my life," Lamonta Stroud said. "We are not heroes. I just wish we could have done more."
Stroud said he nearly made it to the upstairs before his brother begged him to get out of the house for fear he would not make it out alive.
Glass said she is grateful they tried to save her children.
"My heart is still broken, it won't bring my babies back, but I am just glad that some people tried to help me with this tragedy," Glass said.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Anze Kopitar and Jeff Carter scored shootout goals for the Los Angeles Kings, who rallied to beat the Minnesota Wild 3-2 on Thursday night in the season opener for both teams.
Carter and Drew Doughty scored regulation goals for Los Angeles, which had just 18 shots. Jonathan Quick made 29 saves for the Kings, including stops against Zach Parise and Mikko Koivu in the shootout.
Matt Cooke and Jonas Brodin scored in regulation for Minnesota, which had never lost a home opener in its first 12 seasons.
Trailing 2-1, Carter scored on a rebound of a shot by Matt Frattin at 13:14 of the third period to tie it for Los Angeles.
Cooke scored early in the first period for Minnesota. After a power-play goal by Doughty, Brodin scored with the extra man to give the Wild a 2-1 lead late in the first.

i'd agree, the fores looks great, but it shouldn't skirt the mts, i needs to flow into them.
IMHO there should be parts of the forests that cant be seen behind the mountain peaks - especially in the lower part of the map.
The mountains themselves are absolutely great, btw

Like I said, those forest were done as tests for style and are in no way positioned or shaped as they will be when finalised.
Feedback has ben skewed towards the negative and to be honest that's what I expected. I tried several times to adjust them to something more pleasing but nothing seemed right. In the end I decided to just post them as they were to get opinions. They would possibly look better against my more usual style of mountains but at the moment I think it's more of a "back to the drawing board" situation.

I really like the border and the mountains and hope you keep going with them! Yea, the forests may be a bit off but maybe it is because the mountains have a strong light source from the east while the forests cast a bit of shadow to their south east

Lana: So how is it that you're important enough to know about this prophecy, huh?!Like the name says, the Chooser of the One is the character who finds and chooses The Chosen One. The Chooser can go about this a few different ways. They may possess a book or prophecy that describes The Chosen One, or a means of picking them out of a crowd, or they may be a prophet or seer of some kind who can sense the One. Once found or selected, the chooser may take on the role of Mentor and start training them, tell them of their destiny, or simply deliver the Call to Adventure and hope they accept it. Sometimes, the Chooser isn't charged with finding the One, so much as finding a One. The Chooser essentially looks for someone with the skills to fill a job description (defeating the Big Bad, saving the world, etc) and goes with their gut rather than on divine mandate. A knight searching for someone to Take Up My Sword may simply look for anyone who has the right amount (get it?) of pluck and decency. In these cases the person picked may be more of an Unchosen One who chooses to create their destiny rather than sit by passively. If the Chooser is a god or Enigmatic Empowering Entity they may do the designating themselves rather than via prophecy, Super Empowering the chosen from a complete random Muggle into the One. Other possible Choosers are Sentient Phlebotinum, an Empathic Weapon, The Force or God(s). Because of this potential for plot induced randomness, there can be an exploration on the true nature of heroism as something innate or vocational, and destiny as immutable or malleable. It's possible that the Chooser could invoke a sort of Koan and claim that the mere act of choosing someone is meaningless, rather the faith and trust of the chosen paves their path... or that there is no randomness, only destiny. Compare and contrast The Presents Were Never from Santa, which is when a character thinks they have supernatural aid or a helper, but don't.

Trouser Press Magazine began in New York in 1974, originally focused on British bands and artists. As the magazine grew, so did its coverage. By the late 1970s and 80s, the magazine covered a wide variety of music, including punk, new wave, and alternative rock. Although it seemed to be thriving, its editors decided to pull the plug on the magazine after the April 1984 issue.

Just days after St. Paul Police Officer Rob Buth apologized for a photo of him dressed as a female Muslim Target employee, the department confirmed it is looking into a second photograph from 2010.
So far, there is no connection between the two photographs other than that they both were taken on Halloween, but news of a second internal investigation is making waves in the city's Muslim community and could lead to big changes in the department.
"It's disgusting," said Somali community activist Abdi Bihi. "To have a representative for law enforcement mimicking Somali, Muslim-American women is not funny."
Police Chief Tom Smith launched the first investigation after a photograph of a man wearing a hijab, a Target employee name tag and cell phone began circulating online. Shortly thereafter, Buth issued an apology saying the Halloween costume was worn to a private party and was not intended for public viewing.
Now, the department is looking into another embarrassing photo to see if another St. Paul police officer donned a similar costume in 2010.
Bihi told FOX 9 News the picture, which shows a man in blackface and a long covering often worn by Somali women at what appears to be a Halloween party is no joke.
"It's not a costume. It's a culture," he explained. "To taunt a culture -- especially by law enforcement -- is not a healthy issue."
The St. Paul Police Department has not officially identified the man in the picture as one of their officers, but a spokesperson did say they have a patrol officer with the same name who has been on the force since January 2010 and no disciplinary actions on file.
Ironically, the new photograph surfaced on the same day that the assistant police chief reached out to members of the Muslim community at a mosque in St. Paul to discuss the first photo.
A department spokesperson told FOX 9 News that cultural diversity training is part of the curriculum at the academy, but the department plans to retrain all officers on cultural issues soon -- possibly as early as next month.

Hearts and Minds
A pair of new plays—one powerful, about Afghanistan; the other less successful, about Eichmann—bring recent history to the stage
Two plays—Blood and Gifts, a drama about the origins of America's war in Afghanistan, now at Lincoln Center's Mitzi Newhouse Theater, and Captors, which examines the kidnapping of Adolf Eichmann and which ran at the Huntington Theatre Company in Boston through last weekend—demonstrate the power and hazards of bringing recent history to the stage.
Playwright J.T. Rogers, the young author of Blood and Gifts, is obsessed with history. This is his third historical play—all of which have been critically if not commercially successful. And you don't have to be an Afghan expert—or even deeply pro- or anti-America's war in a land where "wartorn" is a gross understatement—to enjoy Rogers' original, compelling play. But those who have followed the war closely will get more of his grim jokes and more easily track the play's cast of warlords and their ever-shifting alliances.
This is a complex, politically subtle play without a simple message. It succeeds because it raises the most profound questions about how men of such good intentions—and all the major characters are male—could have gotten things so terribly wrong while seeming to get them right. Americans helped the Soviets in the decade the play examines, 1979 to 1989, when the spy services of the United States, Britain, and Russia were replaying the "Great Game," the centuries-long power struggle in this historic crossroads. But the victory soon turns sour, as civil war erupts among the Western-armed Afghan war lords, after which the Pakistani-supported Taliban usher in yet more barbarous intolerance.
At a discussion with members of the Council on Foreign Relations after a performance last week, Bartlett Sher, whose disciplined, crisp direction maximizes the play's emotional punch, said he believes that a dramatist's role is not to preach for or against U.S. involvement in this 8-year-old war but to prompt an audience to "pose the question."
Blood and Gifts makes you wonder how Americans failed to see that helping the Afghans expel the Soviets would strengthen the militant Islamists who would then target Americans once the Russians were gone. After the Islamic revolution in Iran, why did Washington not see that stoking religious fervor for short-term gain would end badly? Why did the United States let Pakistan decide which war lords to bless with U.S. "gifts"—increasingly sophisticated weapons that would soon be aimed at Afghans of other tribes, ethnicity, and religious beliefs and then at Americans? Why did the CIA think it had no further obligation to the Afghan people once the Russians were ousted?
But the play's fictional characters raise questions beyond politics, among them, how could men who have worked so closely together for so long understand one another so little?
The play opens in 1979 with the arrival in Islamabad of the absolutely American James Warnock, a CIA veteran of Iran, whose mission is to arrange an alliance with Col. Afridi of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI, the Pakistan Army's notoriously treacherous intelligence arm. The idea is to supply U.S. money and arms to anti-Soviet Afghans without American fingerprints. But what Warnock calls "deniability, first and foremost" gives Pakistan a dangerous upper hand in the relationship. Simon Craig, Warnock's British counterpart, a regionally savvy, whiskey-swilling junior partner in this mission, warns Warnock that Afridi's determination to channel the weapons to Gulbuddin Hekmatyar—the Islamist fanatic who is now targeting American forces in Afghanistan—will backfire, given his penchant for wanton and savage treatment of Afghans who oppose his fanatical interpretation of Islam. As insurance, Warnock opens his own secret channel to the more secular Abdullah Khan, a warlord who appears to become not merely an ally of convenience but Warnock's friend.
Rogers' characters learn painful lessons in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Washington, the play's three venues. Warnock comes to understand how hard it is to know men of another culture. Simon, his MI6 counterpart, learns that Americans can be just as devious and cynical as their Pakistani and Afghan allies. Afghans, as Simon tries warning his American partner, are "charming, semi-civilized and utterly untrustworthy"—"French, without the food." And all the characters learn that even close friends and allies are rarely what they seem. "Secrets," Simon says ruefully, "they do … corrode," along with trust.
Simon turns out to be Jewish, a fact he does not advertise given the region's prejudices and politics, but of which the insidiously anti-Semitic Afridi repeatedly reminds him.
Rogers' play provides plenty of heartbreak, personal and political. His key characters all end up with some sorrow, professional as well as personal. Perhaps because, as Rogers observes, Russians seem to excel at suffering, and perhaps because the Western "victory" over the Soviets is the occasion for the Afghan sideshow destined to go terribly awry, Rogers has given a truth-telling role to Dmitri Gromov, a Soviet not-so-secret agent who strikes up a friendship of convenience with Warnock, whom he is charged with watching.
The cast is as sharp as the play's dialogue. The gifted Jeremy Davidson plays Warnock perfectly—his controlled but confident gait and steely reserve mask to all but the closest of friends the pain of an earlier failure and professional uncertainty. Jefferson Mays is unforgettable as Simon, whose piercing irony about Middle Eastern and Whitehall politics gives the play humor and depth. Michael Aronov plays Gromov, whose Russian humor, as he confesses to Warnock, takes the form not of "ha-ha" jokes but of the Slavic "let me put a stick in your eye because life is not worth living" variety. Gabriel Ruiz is utterly believable as the slimy, corrupt Islamist sympathizing Col. Afridi. And Bernard White as Afghan warlord Abdullah Khan has a twinkle in his eye and an elegance about him that is destined to break one's heart. John Procaccino, as Walter Barnes, Warnock's CIA colleague, must have spent weeks at Langley learning how to impersonate an agency bureaucrat flawlessly, and Robert Hogan, as Sen. Jefferson Birch, gives another sterling smaller performance as the passionate southern senator who despite his vapid political platitudes is nobody's fool. Special tribute must also be paid to Deborah Hecht, the play's dialect coach, for her versatility in several languages.
Such a coach would have been of value to the cast of another historical drama—Captors, which closed over the weekend after a limited run. But the cast's struggle with Israeli and German accents was only one of this potentially powerful play's problems.
Evan M. Wiener's play is an account of the 10 days that a team of young Mossad and Shin Bet agents spent with Adolf Eichmann in a safe house in the 1960s after his capture in Buenos Aires and before he was smuggled out of Argentina to stand trial in Israel.
Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List is both a moral and an aesthetic disaster, an embodiment of much that is wrong with American-Jewish life

One summer a few years ago, I spent some time on a dairy farm in northern Italy. The farm, called Finocchio Verde ("green fennel"), produces sheep and goat cheese, so the bulk of my work was milking and pasturing sheep and goats. As one does, I got attached to one of the goats, a baby boy named Pistolino. While the others were munching grass and wild herbs, Pistolino would curl up in my lap to hang out, or allow me to carry him around. I wrote to the farmers later that year and, half in jest, inquired about Pistolino. "He was delicious," they wrote back.
Accounting for roughly 70 percent of all red meat consumed worldwide, goat meat beats beef and lamb by a good margin. Its popularity extends from India and Pakistan to the Middle East and Africa, Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean, and, alas, to a farmhouse in Piedmont, Italy. In the United States, where a trendy sandwich without goat cheese is like a cake without frosting, goat meat is still mostly consumed by ethnic communities. And while it is popping up more on fine dining menus as chefs push sustainability, goat is an easy and rewarding project for the home cook. Versatile, flavorful, sustainable, and healthy, there's very little goat doesn't have going for it.

The Hollywood Reporter
Shia LaBeouf has set his sights on Danish director Lars von Trier's ambitious erotic drama "Nymphomaniac," which is set to begin production in September. The "Transformers" star is in talks to join a cast led by Charlotte Gainsbourg.
"Nymphomaniac" is the latest indie film to be embraced by the young actor. He's set to hit theaters over Labor Day in John Hillcoat's "Lawless" and stars in "The Company You Keep," directed by and starring Robert Redford, which will premiere at the upcoming Venice Film Festival before making its way to the Toronto International Film Festival.
Bing: Nicole Kidman joining 'Nymphomaniac'?
LaBeouf's third indie film in the pipeline is "The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman," which recently wrapped production. And he has shown a willingness to appear in erotic material recently, co-starring in an artsy Sigur Ros video.
"Nymphomaniac" follows the erotic adventures of a woman (Gainsbourg) from her youth to age 50, as recounted to her husband (Stellan Skarsgard). It's not clear how big LaBeouf's role would be.
Von Trier is splitting the English-language project into two films and will shoot a softer and more explicit version of each. No domestic distributor is aboard, but rights have been sold off in numerous foreign markets.
German funding body the NRW Filmstifftung is backing "Nymphomaniac" with $1.6 million in production subsidies. The film will be shot entirely in the German state of North-Rhein Westphalia, where von Trier shot "Antichrist."
More: First official look at Daniel Day-Lewis as Lincoln
"Nymphomaniac" is von Trier's his first movie since "Melancholia," which made headlines around the world when the avant-garde filmmaker joked about being a Nazi while promoting the film at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. He quickly apologized but was banned from the festival.
Nicole Kidman, who starred in von Trier's 2003 drama "Dogville," suggested in a recent interview that she will play a small role in "Nymphomaniac."
LaBeouf is represented by CAA, attorney Matt Saver and John Crosby Management.

Demise of Peak Oil Theory →
For at least a hundred years, people have repeatedly warned that the world is running out of oil. In 1920, the US Geological Survey estimated that the world contained only 60 billion barrels of recoverable oil. But to date we have produced more than 1000 billion barrels and currently have more than 1500 billion barrels in reserve. World petroleum reserves are at an all-time high. The world is awash in a glut of oil. Conventional oil resources are currently estimated to be in the neighborhood of ten trillion barrels. The resource base is growing faster than production can deplete it.In addition to conventional oil, the US has huge amounts of unconventional oil resources that remain untouched. The western US alone has 2000 billion barrels of oil in the form of oil shales. At a current consumption rate of 7 billion barrels a year, that's a 286-year supply.Nine years ago, I predicted that "the age of petroleum has only just begun." I was right. The Peak Oil theorists, the malthusians, and the environmentalists were all wrong. They have been proven wrong, over and over again, for decades. A tabulation of every failed prediction of resource exhaustion would fill a library.
Short answer: No.
The question we should be asking is why are prices so high when supply is so abundant. And the answer is increasing government involvement through taxes, regulations and subsidies.

ELLENSBURG, Wash. -- Central Washington football caused a complete flip on the scoreboard between week one and week two, beating Simon Fraser 56-28, opposite from the season-opening loss at Texas A&M Kingsville, 35-7.
Wildcats coach Blaine Bennett explains the difference, saying, "Really we focus on correcting some mistakes. We're committed to running the football. I thought Ryan Robertson at quarterback position did a nice job getting us into the right runs, and our offensive line did a nice job blocking. We matched up a little better with Simon Fraser's front seven than TAMUK's front seven."

Narrow your search
Here you'll find our current five overall-favorite car stereos, but check in regularly for updates a
The Alpine CDE-141 won't blow you away with bells and whistles, but this entry-level car stereo gets the basics right at a competitive price.
The Alpine CDE-124SXM is a great value for those who want to upgrade their car stereo with USB/iPod connectivity while adding very good SiriusXM connectivity.
The Alpine INA-W900 is a solid choice for most users' in-car entertainment and navigation needs, but it will require a few upgrades to match our current favorite in functionality.
The Alpine CDE-102 is an excellent OEM replacement stereo, but serious audiophiles and system builders should look further up the product lineup.
The Alpine iXA-W404 shows plenty of promise, but we'll wait to see if the touch-screen interface improves with the next generation.
For people who listen primarily to MP3/WMA/AAC audio, the Alpine iDA-X305 offers one of the easiest-to-use interfaces for in-car browsing of digital media.
For users who already own an Alpine car audio receiver, the KCE-400BT offers an easy way to extend the functionality, safety, and usable life of the headunit by adding clear, hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming.
The Alpine CDE-9874 is a good value entry-level car stereo, perfect for those looking to play homemade MP3 discs or iPod tracks. Audiophiles might want to look a bit higher up Alpine's lineup.
The Alpine Blackbird is a feature-rich vehicle GPS system and entertainment device all rolled into one sharp-looking package, but it hits a couple of roadblocks with its short battery life and sluggish route calculation.
Pricing not available
We're pleased with the Alpine iXA-W407's "less is more" approach to in-car entertainment. The interface is less cluttered, more responsive, and easier to navigate than the previous generation's.

Is our math wrong? Is it our assumption of zero, or absolute nothingness?
There are know phenomena out there such as the gamma ray burst that total destroys(use loosely your ego wants to argue this syntax error not the mind) our current math and physics(e=mc2). But instead of saying well maybe we got a key part of our math wrong we make it so the phenomena matches our math. This is my personal take on what I think might be wrong. I think it has to do with our assumption of zero. Seeing how you can never have absolute nothingness as a base or starting point. Conceptually the idea of zero is great. I want an apple. But i am in a complete void of apples. I don't have a single one. Not even applesauce! I have ZERO apples. But I do not need to know that you have zero apples to know when you have 1 apple. On the other had I do need to know that you have 1 apple to understand that now you have 2 apple. I could be wrong. It just something that bothers me.
Also I am not a math person it has always been something I struggled with in school those pesky numbers. However in College I excelled at Logic, but that has been some time ago.
I am not say this is the answer I just say that I think there is something fundamentally wrong with our math

Oct 2 2012: I would like to point out that the record for driving on the wrong side of an english highway is 30 miles. Th women who set this record told the cops that punctured her tires that she had just assumed that all the hundreds of cars coming at her were driving on the wrong side of the road, and that she alone, was correct.
Casey, you are arguing against a system that has been developed over thousands of years by millions of people who have have spent billions of hours developing it, and you are assuming that you alone are correct.
You are also reverting back to a way of thinking that became antiquated 2000 years ago.
If you would like to utilize a personal math system where neither negative numbers nor zero exist, i would actually be very impressed. Especially if you had your numeric 1 as equal to a water atom. Just kidding :) i know water isnt an atom. Anyways, i recommend removing this feed. If you dont though, best of luck!

Oct 8 2012: Hahahaha, I really, liked how you counted from 2 to 0. Made me laugh. Sorry I accused you of thinking you're right alone. Fortunately for you though, according to Mark Meijer, you definitely will not be alone in being incorrect :)
Lastly, inventions tend to be pretty useful. Even if a chair never attains perfect "Chairness" it does a lot to support the weight of you and all your beautiful human ideas. Which actually weigh something..... What a crazy thought!
Does Chairness weigh something though?
Oct 8 2012: Hello David,
There is only weight do to gravity.... not because of the chairs, chairness. And for a thought, we have no clue why we have gravity or really anything about it? Or would you like to explain gravity? If you take a chair into outer space where did its weight go? poof gone
Maybe you should study up on some of the perspective you have to make sure they actually fit in the world you call reality. Before you start pointing fingers, otherwise man up and prove me wrong. I just did with your chairness argument.
also you are making an ad hominem argument.
Oct 9 2012: Hi Casey,
Sorry if i got a little bit abstract. Let me clarify what i was talking bout :)
When i was talking about the weight of an idea, i was actually talking about the weight of the actual thought in your brain. Which, since an idea exists somewhere within the synapses of your brain either as electric impulses or neural transmitters, it actually has weight, as long as you are on earth. Chairness however is a perfect idea, which goes beyond the limitations of the physical into the metaphysical. I brought that into the conversation because it is a popular rhetorical device used by philosophers in explaining the metaphysical. I brought metaphysics into the conversation because i thought it was appropriate considering the vast amounts of logic, and the limiTED amounts of math that ive seen on this feed. Metaphysics also plays a part of our understanding of concepts that are the opposite of concrete; for example zero, infinite, and chairness, which are (with the exception of chairness) the main topics of this discussion.
Lastly, the weight of a chair in space becomes its potential energy.
Double lastly, 0, mathematics chairs and languages are all inventions that are useful. What i was getting at is, sure we dont have the "perfect" language to describe EVERYTHING, and we dont have the perfect math to describe everything, but attempting to attain either of those is as futile as attempting to create perfect chairness. A chair has enough chairness to fulfill all the requirements of a chair, just as math and language fulfill all the requirements of math and language. 0 is just a necessary part of that invention to help us understand the world we call reality.
(3/2)(double lastly), Im sorry i attacked you directly with my ad hominem argument. It is frustrating reading some of the things on this feed, primarily because i dont understand a lot of them. I did not mean to sound disdainful when i said "beautiful human ideas" they are sincerely both, same as mine and everyones

The Heartbeat
It was 19 years ago this very month that we received the news: Our twins we were excited to welcome to the world, had little chance of survival. While a senior in college, here at George Fox, I was diagnosed with a rare syndrome, and the first specialist recommended that we go ahead and terminate the pregnancy. My husband and I weren't about to consider this option, but didn't know what to do. This began a series of visits to see specialists and make some big decisions. It was a conversation with a perinatologist that forever changed my perspective on parenting. More...

Letting Their Life Speak
I am a parent ... for almost three whole years now! The other day I heard myself in conversation with a friend saying the exact kind of thing I internally vowed as a younger person never to do when I had kids. I said something to the effect of: "I'm pretty sure Ella (my almost 3-year-old) will one day be a world-renowned translator for the president, or she's at least going to be fluent in hundreds of languages." And so it begins. I have already begun doing it! Within just the first three years, I am subconsciously imposing my unlived frustrations on my child's future! More...
