Can I bring my dog to your wedding?
This is a question a friend of mine was asked recently.
Excuse me while I take some medication to assuage the migraine I'm getting from banging my head against a wall.
I've never planned a wedding, but I've written many stories about it and spoken to enough brides to feel confident asking this question: What is wrong with people?
"I have been more than a little bit shocked by the selfish behavior I've encountered," my friend confided. "Apparently, whenever something important is happening to you, the rest of the world chooses that moment to pull out their worst behavior."
Behavior like inviting along one's own escort, or child, or yes, even canine, to someone else's wedding. As my sister used to say when she was a teenager: Who does that?
According to Emily Post's "Etiquette," (16th edition, 1997), "you may never take a child to a wedding unless he is specifically invited."
Indeed, as a colleague pointed out, weddings -- often formal affairs -- are generally not for youngsters.
"If my wife and I were invited to a wedding, we would assume the children weren't included unless it was an immediate family member," he said. "The kids would have to be in the wedding."
Also according to the Post book, "single, unattached men and women should not assume they may take an escort."
This makes perfect sense to me, though I know some people might not agree. "I think it's rude to invite a woman to a wedding alone," a friend told me once.
As weddings can cost $150 a head, my response to that is that the woman should slap on a smile, have a glass of wine, suck it up and make friends. If it's really that miserable, she can stay at the reception long enough to kiss the bride and make her excuses.
I was surprised, however, to read that a guest may ask if she or he may bring his/her fiancée/fiancé along if an invitation hasn't been issued. It's possible that the bride and groom might not be up to date on all their guests' relationships.
I wonder, however, how such a rule affects people like me and my significant other. We're neither married nor engaged, but we've been attached for so long I think we ought to be considered de facto married when it comes to formal events. Fortunately, any friends or relatives who have given such events over the past several years have agreed, and the invitations have had both our names.
I am aware, however, that should someone choose to adhere to the "no bling, no bring" rule, I need to accept that and be respectful of it, even if I don't like it.
Which, let me be clear, I would not. After more than a decade, wedding or not, I think Joe and I should be considered an established unit for formal events, holidays and three-legged races. Still, should someone not agree, I can't see myself calling up a bride and asking to add another person to her guest list, despite Miss Post's caveat.
I even cringed asking my bride-to-be cousin whether my sister, who was not expected to be in town before the wedding, could be included in her rehearsal dinner at the last minute. I apologized for the breach in manners.
"You and I are close enough to forgo etiquette," she assured me. While that's very gracious of her, I don't think I'd do that during a time I've been told can be fraught with stress. Happy stress, yes, but stress all the same. Err on the side of being extra polite.
That means you let the invitation envelope dictate the number in your party. You don't show up with a sticky child in tow. You don't RSVP for you and your new boyfriend.
And you don't call up and ask to bring your dog. Unless ...
"Does your wedding invitation have the words 'backyard hootenanny' on it?" I asked my friend.
I'll let you take a wild guess at the answer.

Of all the ghosts you meet in WoW (there really are a LOT of them, now that you mention it!), my favorite has always been the ghost of Morgan Ladimore that you meet after putting his daughter Sarah's ring on his grave. He doesn't have too much to say, but what he does say is quite touching, and I love his tragic story.

Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 5: 8-bit is Enough - PC - Review
Anyone who's been playing Strong Bad's Cool Game 4 Attractive People can tell you that Strong Bad's prized Trogdor arcade machine has been sitting in his basement, broken and unusable, for the last four months. Well, it's up and running now (literally), kick-starting the events of the fifth and final episode of Telltale's monthly adventure series. And after four months of hilarious and clever releases, the developers have outdone themselves by creating a finale that is easily the high point of the series.
The episode picks up right where last month's left off — with Strong Bad surrounded by an angry mob. During his escape SB accidentally bumps into the Trogdor arcade game, which springs to life — in all its one-armed, wing-a-ling glory. It seems that the game's logic board has gone bad, causing the machine to rampage across Free Country, USA. Fixing the logic board seems simple enough, but with this simple action Strong Bad accidentally breaks 8-bit containment field, causing the real world to merge with video game reality. Now there are pixelated karate fighters duking it out near Strong Badia, Marzipan's throwing an endless supply of crates from atop Bub's Concession Stand ala Donkey Kong, and the real Trogdor is running around burninating everything in sight. If he hopes to ever restore life back to the status quo, Strong Bad's got to restore the containment field, and that means doing the unthinkable — he must kill Trogdor.
Strong Bad's wrestling skills are no match for the might of an arcade-cabinet/dragon hybrid.
This episode's storyline is easily the series' strongest. Every previous episode has featured some video game-based humor, but game parodies take center stage here, and they're all spot-on. Classic gaming of all types and gaming culture in general are referenced, mocked, and satirized at every turn, so any gamer will find plenty to laugh at. Also, the episode is chock full of Homestarrunner.com fan service (as Strong Bad himself points out), and pretty much every fan-favorite character, from the Videlectrix guys to Stinkoman to the Burninator himself, make appearances. This episode also includes plenty of references to the previous episodes; since you're trapped in the world of video games, characters and situations from each episode's playable Fun Machine games make return appearances, so if you've been following the series since its beginning then expect to see plenty of familiar faces.
Characters and situations from video games have invaded real life, but the inverse is true as well —
Strong Bad must enter the worlds of his favorite games to continue his quest.
Episode 5 doesn't make any dramatic changes to the series' gameplay formula. You'll direct Strong Bad from area to area, using mouse clicks to make him interact with the various objects and characters he finds. As always, there are a ton of amusing interactions to discover, and half the fun of the game is simply wandering around each area, hearing Strong Bad's smart-aleck comments about any and everything. The puzzles won't be much of a challenge for any experienced adventure gamer (or SBCG4AP veteran), but they're clever and just tough enough to make you feel like you're working for the jokes.
One of your first real challenges will be to gain access to Strong Bad's house,
guarded as it is by 8-bit Revolutionary War-era ghosts.
8-Bit Is Enough uses the same visual and audio style as all the previous episodes, so the colorful, cartoony graphics are no surprise. The visual treats in this episode come in the form of the different game references that are sprinkled throughout your adventure. For example, when Strong Bad enters the various video game worlds, he graphically devolves through progressively more retro visual styles — from his standard look, to a Nintendo 64-style blocky polygon design, to an 8-bit sprite, until finally he enters the game world as a red pixel block straight out of the Atari 2600. The game's audio is also filled with tongue-in-cheek homages to the game soundtracks of yesteryear; Telltale has created a soundtrack that perfectly captures the style and sound of classic gaming music without being a direct rip-off of any specific game's music.
Strong Bad's Cool Game 4 Attractive People has given us five months worth of excellent adventure gaming, and 8-Bit Is Enough is the series' piece de resistance. It's a hilarious episode in its own right, but an even better series finale; it manages to tie the previous episodes together, giving the entire series a sense of cohesiveness that it's lacked up to now. Whether you're a fan who's followed the episodes from the beginning or just jumping into the series, 8-Bit Is Enough is required playing for any gamer with a functioning sense of humor, and an excellent ending to the series.
|Review Scoring Details for Strong Bad's Cool Game 4 Attractive People: 8-Bit is Enough
Gameplay: 8.5
The game doesn't introduce any surprises in this final installment: click on everything in sight, and watch Strong Bad snark his way through one crazy situation after another. The jokes come early and often, and every scene produces plenty of laugh-out-loud events, so the entertainment value stays high even when you get stuck on a puzzle.
Graphics: 7.6
The simple cartoony visual style keeps things looking like the original web cartoon. This episode has lots of visual references to various aspects of games and gaming culture, which are as funny as they are accurate.
Sound: 8.1
Most of the music in this episode is done in the style of retro gaming tunes, and the songs are dead-on stylistic parodies. Matt Chapman again delivers an impressive range of voices, each uniquely hilarious and distinctive.
Difficulty: Easy
Players can choose how much help the game gives via the in-game hint system; if you're looking for a challenge you can give it a go on your own, but the game will pretty much hold your hand if all you want is to see all the different jokes and gags without having to worry about solving a bunch of puzzles.
Concept: 9.1
It was inevitable that eventually, SBCG4AP would involve Trogdor, but episode 5 delivers much more than that. Its video game-based plot is the perfect subject matter for the final episode, since anyone playing will almost certainly get all the jokes.
Overall: 9.0
Telltale finishes Strong Bad's Cool Game 4 Attractive People with a bang as 8-Bit Is Enough is hands-down the strongest episode out of the bunch. Here's hoping that there's more yet to come (via a Sam-and-Max-style Season 2), but if this is the honest-and-true end of the series, then they couldn't have finished stronger.

A perfect escape in the south of Spain
We loved our stay at Casa Fina. While the pictures give you a taste of what it will be like, it exceeded all of our expectations. The owner's thoughtful style aesthetic adds to the enjoyment of the incredible view which when complemented by great weather (we had 14 days of sunshine!) equals perfection.The house is outfitted with everything you need and is situated such that it is easily accessible to the autovia, grocery shops and restaurants. We used it as a hub to easily visit Granada, Gibralter, Rhona, Cadiz, Seville and Cordoba. We would definitely recommend this place to friends and family!
Peaceful and tranquil, highly recommended
Just arrived home from my fourth perfect holiday at Las Cimas and would highly recommend it. With the most peaceful and tranquil of surroundings, the villa is exquisitely furnished with a high level of comfort both inside and out. Personally, I go for a 'get away from it all' holiday and there are many areas which you can hide yourself away with a good book. There is a large roof terrace which you can sit out on and gaze across at the lovely views and a cozy gazebo area near the pool which offers a relaxing social place. The pool is a good size with mature hedges giving you privacy with a large patio area. The villa has a high level of cleanliness. Perfect for entertaining. There is a good selection of bars, restaurants and supermarkets close by. The management were very helpful and English speaking. Looking forward to my return next year!

Over the decades, great gains have been made in reducing black lung disease among coal miners. But, recently, there's been an uptick in the sometimes fatal condition. Fifty years ago, Central Appalachian Education and Research Center Director Wayne Sanderson says about a third of all miners contracted black lung. Today, the potentially deadly disease afflicts about four to five percent of miners. And, Sanderson says, that number's climbing.

A program to train teachers as scientists and engineers
There are different initiatives out there to help attract scientists and engineers into a second career as teachers, thereby bringing their real world experience and their knowledge of the disciplines into the classrooms. I would like to propose a program that works in the other direction.
Allowing that the model of combining practical engagement with high-level teaching skill is a great framework, let's build our hybrid teacher by starting with people who are already passionate about teaching and great at working with kids.
Sure, math and science teachers take coursework in the field, but that's clearly not the same. We need opportunities to keep studying and to participate in actual on-going research projects so we are keeping our knowledge sharp and keeping our engagement with the discipline active.
I would argue further that by sustaining the teachers' status as students, their ability to sympathize and empathize with their own students would stay at a higher level.
What we need, then, are ways to achieve that. Certainly the school teachers I know can't afford to take science or engineering coursework every semester.

Luis FJul 11 2012: I believe the resources for learning science and engineering at low cost are already available. As long as you have an Internet connection and a device to connect to it (desktop, smart phone, tablet, etc.), the only cost associated with it is time. Take a look at MIT's OpenCourseWare (http://ocw.mit.edu) and Annenberg's Learner (http://www.learner.org/resources/series42.html).
Since I believe access to the Internet is low cost, what we can do is allow for math and science teachers to take online courses from these great resources during their normal work hours. That should solve the time-cost.
Jul 11 2012: Thanks for your idea. That would be an interesting starting point, Luis. However, to my knowledge, that still wouldn't put the teachers onto current research projects nor plug them into the university departments where these are being run. Any of us can watch an online course or read through a text book (though I really DO like your point of letting teachers do it on paid time!), but we can't afford to equip real engineering labs or generate a network of industry practitioners. Engineering and science as they are happening in the field is a key element to the model.

Pic-N-Paint Pottery's employees understand that many artists feel compelled to start work first thing in the morning, which is why guests sporting sleepwear get to paint ceramic pieces at a discount on Pajama Day. Pajama Day is just one element that embodies the studio's playful atmosphere, which sets creative minds into motion regardless of age or brushstroke skills.

The staff remains on-hand to supervise drop-in sessions and private parties, and ultimately fires the works of art in the in-studio kiln. In addition to paint-your-own-pottery sessions, Pic-N-Paint Pottery hosts various workshops that focus on drawing basics, such as sketching accurate nature scenes by referencing nude tree branches.

An interview with Geoff Surratt (and a book giveaway!)
This week I caught up with pastor, author, innovator, and Church catalyst, Geoff Surratt. He's the new Director of the Exponential Conference and along with Todd Wilson and Dave Ferguson is a part of the senior leadership team. The Exponential Conference is the largest gathering of church planters on the planet with an expected attendance of 5,000 this April. Will you be there?
Andrew: Describe your new role at Exponential in two sentences. What are you really going to be doing?
Geoff: In addition to overseeing the Exponential Conference my role includes aggregating, moderating and distributing content for church leaders as well as connecting church planters, church planting networks and church planting partners. Our goal is to catalyze reproducing church movements.
Andrew: When you attend the conference this April, what will you be focused on? Will you be learning how things run and watching the "behind the scenes" organization? In short what will be going through your head, given your new role?
Geoff: My main role at the conference this year is to make sure all of the speakers have all the Diet Coke they can drink. While this may seem trivial, it is really the engine the Exponential runs on. When I'm not pouring liquid manna I will be connecting with leaders and church planters and learning how we can better serve them in the coming year. Connecting with like-minded leaders is the best part of Exponential.
Andrew: The theme of the conference this year is around the idea of God's leaders being "sifted." Do you have a story of being sifted?
Interview with Geoff Surratt, pt. II: Churches and Online Community
Following is part II of our interview with Geoff Surratt from Seacoast Church and author of Ten Stupid Things That Keep Churches from Growing. See part I here.
Sometimes church communities can appear insular to outsiders. How can churches create a more open environment for welcoming and engaging interested and new members?
"What is a church's front door? The 'front door' of a church is not the physical front door and has not been for a long time. It is not the sign in front of the building. And it is not the Yellow Pages ad. The front door is on the Web. We have found that when coming to our church for the first time, a majority of people, even if they come with a friend who is already a member, checked us out on the Web first. Churches need to be aware of this. And these researchers do not just go to www.yourchurch.org, they go to Google. Everything that appears in Google is what they check out – everything about your pastor, your Facebook page, etc.
Interview with Geoff Surratt: On technology and stupid church things
Geoff Surratt is on staff of Seacoast Church, a successful and high-visibility multi-site church. He's also the author of Ten Stupid Things That Keep Churches from Growing. In a recent Zondervan interview Geoff shared his thoughts on how churches use technology to stay connected.
How do "old school" communications practices keep churches from growing and thriving?
"When I think some of the old school communications practices churches go back to again and again, two or three come to mind. A few years ago, the way you started a church or promoted a new event was to send out a mass mailer. I see churches continue to do that, but the response is going down and down and down. For the most part, response to mailers is completely dead. I also see churches communicate outside of their community via newspaper ads, and print newspaper effectiveness has dropped significantly too. Within the church, I see announcement services page used a lot. Public announcements are not very effective at communicating either. When you survey TV watchers after viewing three commercials in a row, nobody can remember the middle TV commercial. A few can remember the first, more the last. The same is true for announcements; most people are not hearing what is being said because they cannot. By the time a pastor hits three announcements, he has lost people."
A Multi-Site Church Roadtrip: The Godfather of Video Venues
Geoff Surratt first met Larry Osborne, pastor of North Coast Church in Vista California, at a Leadership Network multi-site church event in 2002. Seacoast was just beginning to dive into the world of video teaching and he immediately realized that Larry was the smartest guy on the planet when it came to leveraging technology to expand the Kingdom. And Larry wears really cool shirts. Over the years Larry has become a friend and a mentor both personally and through his books Sticky Church, Ten Dumb Things Christians Believe and A Contrarian's Guide to Knowing God. Geoff recently had a chance to get Larry's wisdom on the role of video, technology and more in the future of the multi-site revolution.
You pioneered the concept of the video venue at North Coast. What do you feel are two or three reproducible keys to your success in utilizing video that other churches could reproduce?
I believe a huge part of our success was our decision early on to only use video for teaching. Many things don't translate well on a screen (for instance music, drama, and the like). But teaching plays well in almost every geographic and demographic setting.
In fact, the biggest shock when we launched our first Video Venue was that it was so readily accepted by virtually every demographic. We thought our older folks would reject it outright. We thought younger generations might find it inauthentic. We assumed churches in the more traditional parts of the country would be highly resistant.
But we were wrong. It played well just about everywhere.
Looking back we should have realized that teaching is uniquely suited for a big screen. It allows people to clearly see facial expressions and non-verbals – which is why most people in a large facility with a video screen end up watching the screen rather than the little person up on the stage.
The other thing that I believe is easily reproducible is our use of differing music styles and ambiances to broaden our demographic outreach. Both Chris Brown (our other teaching pastor) and I are able to reach a far broader demographic (traditionalists, country music fans, and folks with lots of body art) than we could if we had a one-size-fits-all sanctuary.
How important is it for a church using video teaching to have the very best technology available?
I think the need for the quality technology is vastly overrated. You don't need the latest and greatest in order to succeed. You can't be so cheap that your venues are cheesy. The video can't look like a 1980′s VCR.
At North Coast we've always made due with less than the best technology simply because we often can't afford the best. We're not a rich suburban church. We're a blue collar church that meets in an old warehouse. If we felt we couldn't succeed without the best and latest technology, we'd still be saving up to launch our first venue.
We've learned that good enough is good enough when it comes to technology. I always tell the churches we consult to buy the best they can afford. There's no need to hawk the future for cool technology you can't afford and there's no reason to hold off launching a new ministry just because everyone else has better equipment.
North Coast has multiple venues with live worship bands at multiple locations and multiple service times. How do you find enough musicians to have that many worship teams?
The secret to our plethora of musicians goes back to a decision we made long before we started our Video Venues. Because we believe the job of a pastor is to equip the saints for the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:11-12) our worship pastors have always been judged, rewarded, and paid for rising up other worship leaders rather than creating an all-star band.
I find you always get what you measure and reward. So guess what? Since we measure and reward rising up worship leaders, we get worship leaders. And better yet, once we turned the corner, we discovered that musicians draw musicians. So right now I think we have something like 24 adult worship bands to pull from.
In your book Sticky Church you describe the role of sermon based small groups in the life of North Coast. How integral do you think sermon based small groups have been to the growth of North Coast?
Our attendance was about 120 when we started our sermon-based small groups. They haven't particularly drawn people in, but they have helped to slam our back door shut – and when the back door stays shut, a church tends to grow.
We're pretty much a word-of-mouth church (we don't do any marketing or advertising) so closing the back door has been an essential ingredient of our growth. But the biggest advantage has been the way these sermon-based groups have enabled us to get everyone on the same page – and keep them there. That's made us a much healthier church not just a bigger church.
What did I not ask that I should have?
You didn't ask why my books are so much better than yours – at least that's what my mom thinks. Though my wife, Nancy, isn't so sure.
Other than the comments about Larry's books being better than mine (they are, but he didn't have to bring it up) Larry once again stretched my thinking on what is effective and what is good enough in ministry. You can read more of Larry's insight at his blog or in Multi-site Church Roadtrip.
favoring discipline over reconciliation
the next chapter in geoff surratt's ten stupid things that keep churches from growing is on "favoring discipline over reconciliation". talking about church discipline brings up many opinions among both church members and ministers. we all know that reconciliation is the goal, but when and to what extent do we need to discipline? geoff tackles these issues in this chapter. here is the opening story that geoff tells. how would you counsel pastor bob?
a friend of mine pastors a church of fifty people. he has pastored several churches in the time i have known him and every church eventually averages fifty people. i'm pretty sure he will always pastor a church of fifty people. the interesting thing is that he seldom pastors the same fifty people from year to year, so there is certainly variety. the pattern is almost always the same. my friend, we'll call him pastor bob, will move to a new church in a new community. he will spend a lot of time getting to know the people in the church; he will visit them in the hospital, officiate at their parents' funerals, and perform their children's weddings. pastor bob will invite people in town to his church, and the congregation will begin to grow. everyone loves pastor bob and everyone comments that they have never had a pastor like him. before long pastor bob's church has grown to sixty, seventy, even eighty people. and then it happens: someone in the congregation has to be confronted. someone is stirring up trouble in the church. an attendee may be spreading rumors about pastor bob, a leader may be living in sin, or a deacon just won't get with the program. whatever the cause, pastor bob knows what has to be done. he sets up a meeting with the offending member and confronts this individual with his or her misdeed. this meeting seldom goes well; few people like to be confronted with their shortcomings. sometimes the censured members decide to leave the church; sometimes pastor bob asks them to leave the church. when they leave, they take several families with them. soon the church is down to seventy members, then sixty, and finally fifty. pastor bob would love to see his church grow beyond fifty, but he can't just ignore issues that require church discipline, can he?
geoff writes in the chapter about free passes for everyone, what effective church discipline looks like, and profiles dino rizzo at the end of the chapter on the subject.
how about you? what situations have you dealt with in the realms of church discipline? what lessons have you learned? how does your church handle discipline? the first 10 commentors who leave a comment between now and next tuesday, 15 june, will get a free copy of geoff's book, ten stupid things that keep churches from growing.
"rick warren is a lot easier to copy than bill hybels"
when i was associate pastor in a little church in northern california i focused primarily on the youth – jr high through college age. in one six-month period i was needed to preach a half-dozen times. i needed some great material that would really touch the lives of the small congregation. i had just finished reading a couple of john ortberg's first books and aside from adding my own illustrations, used love beyond reason as the content of my messages.
geoff surratt admits his tendency to do this early on in his ministry in a rural texas church in chapter 7 of ten stupid things that keep churches from growing. this chapter looks at copying another successful church. "the problem i ran into was that unchurches harry and saddleback sam didn't live in huffman, texas; we were surrounded by redneck bubba and unemployed eddie." he says "the challenge is when we stop learning and start leaning; when we try to simply copy what we've seen in another successful ministry."
geoff asks 4 questions to his readers to help find the unique niche that God has created you to fill:
- who are you?
- what can't you stand?
- where is your church?
- who's not going to your church?
God calls us to lead the specific ministry in the way he has wired us to lead. who are you called to lead and how do you lead them? comment below on how you figured out these two questions; i'll randomly select one commentor and send them a free copy of ten stupid things and a journal with the cartoon of this chapter on the cover.
clinging to a bad location
we have been going through each chapter in geoff surratt's new book, ten stupid things that keep churches from growing. chapter 6 looks into "clinging to a bad location." each chapter has wisdom and advice from a well-respected pastor who knows of what he speaks. in this chapter, geoff interviews his brother greg, founding pastor of seacoast church. below is the profile in its entirety.
I am often asked what it is like working for my brother Greg Surratt. On the one hand, he is a good boss, a talented leader, and a visionary. On the other hand, he used to put me in painful wrestling holds until Mom would make him let me go. Since Mom made him start being nice to me a couple of years ago, working together at Seacoast has been a great experience. We try to keep the ministry and family stuff separate, but we are also able to cut through some of the communication barriers quicker than others because we are brothers. (Let's just say we occasionally have intense fellowship.) Nepotism seems to work, at least for us.
Greg started Seacoast in 1988 with a group of about sixty people out of Northwood Assembly in Charleston, South Carolina. Each year for the first three years, the church averaged fewer people on the weekends than the year before, but in 1991 the church began to grow and never stopped. Today more than nine thousand people attend each weekend in thirteen locations across three states. During the growth Greg has become a student of what will and will not lead a church to grow, and he has had the opportunity to share that knowledge with hundreds of church planters and pastors. I knew he would have insight into finding the right location for your church.
What is the worst church location you have seen?
A church planter came to ask my advice one time about a location he was looking at in his community. He said that it was easy to find, had good visibility, ample parking, a great auditorium, some side rooms for kids, the price was right, and to top it all off it was nearly new and immediately available.
I asked him where one might find such a choice piece of real estate, to which he replied that it was actually a funeral home. "Not good," I thought. "No wonder it's available."
How do you explain to a well-meaning, naive, amped-up church planter that a place so closely associated with death is probably not the best choice of locations to plant a "life-giving" church? I have friends who won't even go to their friends' funerals because the thought of being where dead people are creeps them out. How are you going to get them to come to a place like that weekly? Sounds like a marketer's nightmare. Let's use common sense here. He didn't listen, and within a few months they wrote the obituary for the once promising vision.
How important is a good location to the growth of a church?
In retail it is location, location, location. In church work I would argue that it is Spirit of God, Spirit of God, Spirit of God. But, that said, location is pretty high on the rest of the list. I think that God primarily draws people to himself and to our churches, but part of our job as leaders is to remove potential barriers that stand in the way of people finding their way to God. Location is definitely a biggie when it comes to barriers. If you can't find it, or wouldn't want to go there if you could find it, that poses a pretty big barrier. So I'd say location is pretty important.
How important was Seacoast's location to the growth in the early days?
When we were looking for a permanent location for Seacoast, we wanted something that would allow us to be both local and regional. Pretty presumptuous for a group of two hundred people, but they don't charge extra for big dreams. Local meant that there were neighborhoods close by; we could actually be a part of the community. If it was too local, though, buried too deep in a neighborhood and not close to major traffic routes, we would have a hard time reaching beyond it. Regional meant that it was accessible to more than just the local neighborhoods. People could easily drive from other communities, so we weren't limited to just the few blocks around us. If it was too regional, it would be easy to get to, but no one would live there. Think airports, factory areas, and coliseums. Unless you are Joel Osteen, and you are not, it still might not be the ideal location until your attendance is about ten thousand or so. We've made mistakes being too regional with new campus plants. Easy to get to, but nobody lived there.
I think our choice of location definitely made an impact on both early growth and future growth. We researched where we thought traffic patterns and housing starts would trend toward. It is still a great location that is easily accessible to most of the Charleston area.
What makes a bad location?
Lots of factors make a bad location: you can't find it, you wouldn't want to go there if you could find it, no one lives there (and probably won't anytime soon), the neighborhood doesn't match the vision of the church trying to minister to it.
What advice would you give to pastors whose churches are "stuck" in a bad location? What practical steps can they take?
Move on. Sometimes the best thing you can do is throw in the towel and go somewhere else. About ten years into the Seacoast experience, I had the bright idea of doing church in a larger auditorium that happened to be a Masonic Temple. At the risk of sounding disparaging to both Masons and temples, it turned out to be a very scary place. Being a visionary, I saw only the potential — more room, better parking, easy accessibility — and ignored the huge downsides — children's ministry would be done in a bar, frightening pictures in the foyer, occasional raffles and events that would supersede church services. I even brought in Peter Wagner to pray over the temple, and then I declared it a perfect fit for Seacoast. After six months of pushing a rope uphill, I finally admitted that the "temple of doom" experiment was less than successful. I ate some Southern-fried crow and we moved on. If you are in a bad location and you can do it, move on, but if you can't . . .
Get God's heart. If you are truly stuck, then it is possible that God has a plan for you and your place of ministry that you are not aware of yet. It will probably involve a change in the way you are doing things. We seldom change just because it is a good idea, so part of the "stuckness" may be a nudge toward being open to something different. I know a pastor who felt stuck. He didn't feel fulfilled in that he was doing nor very fruitful in ministry; very few people were coming, and he felt like he couldn't move somewhere else. So, as a last resort, he sought God — what a novel idea — and got a fresh vision for his community. The vision involved changing the way they did ministry and reaching out to a segment of the community they had previously ignored. Now they've had to move a few blocks away to a public school because the numbers of people they are reaching won't fit into their previous location. Always remember your ministry location is never a surprise to God. He may very well have you where you are because he desperately cares about the people who live there and he wants to recommission you to reach them. But it probably won't be with the same old, same old. Sometimes the best thing you can do with a bad location is to get a fresh vision.
Why do we promote talent over integrity?
In chapter 5 of Ten Stupid Things that Keep Churches from Growing author Geoff Surratt looks at how churches (his own included) sometimes find out the hard way that talent of some staff and volunteers gets them positions their integrity would not. This is not usually unintentional. We all want people with both integrity and talent (and in that order), but there are a few times that we get blinded by the talent and fail to do a few checks on the integrity of the individual.
Surratt has some fantastic insight not only in how to know if a talented leader has integrity, but also how to recover when a leader already in place has a lapse of integrity. This kind of information could be beneficial for leaders of any organization, not just church leaders.
I want to share the IQ test at the end of this chapter. Each chapter has an IQ test at the end of it, and this is one iIwould like for you to take and – if you feel appropriate – share your answers in the comments with everyone. Your insight could be invaluable to other readers.
- How do we screen for integrity in new leaders in our church?
- How do we ensure new leaders share our core values? how can we improve this process?
- Has there been an instance in the past when we have promoted talent over integrity? what did we learn? how can we prevent this from happening in the future?
- What, if any, systems do we have in place for ongoing accountability in our leadership? how can we improve those systems?
- Are we having the hard conversations with our staff and key leaders? are any current leaders possibly struggling in the area of personal integrity? how are we going to discuss our concerns with them?

Open-source record label
Open-source record labels are a reaction against what some musicians see as corporate control of music via means of copyright. They believe that creativity requires that musicians reappropriate and reinterpret music and sounds to enable them to create truly innovative music.
Open source record labels hold that the fight over free, libre, and open content and media is a struggle over the freedoms of expression and speech, with the goal of radically opening up the possibilities of media through open collaboration. To this end, open source record labels attempt to release music under so-called "copyleft", a license that enables musicians to develop music collaboratively and equitably and then release it into the same license. There can thus be many versions of a single track or reuse of the same sounds for multiple tracks with no direct permission needed. Open remixing and altering is not just allowed but promoted. The user base can be the creator and collaborator for the platform because of the open license.
Examples of open-source labels[edit]
- 137Mhz Records
- Comfort Stand Records
- Krayola Records
- Calabash Music
- Jamendo
- LibreRock Records [1]
- LOCA Records
- Magnatune
- OnClassical
- 166 Records

Poetry in the Age of Mass Incarceration
by R. Dwayne Betts
Avery, 2009
by Reginald Dwayne Betts
Alice James Books, 2010
Richard Nixon campaigned for the U.S. presidency on a platform of strident anti-Communism and renewed law and order. In the wake of devastating urban riots all across the nation, cresting anti-war activism, a vibrant counter-cultural network of poets and musicians and other provocateurs, and the dual successes of the Civil Rights Movement and Women's Liberation, Nixon and his crowd had had enough. And so, to reclaim the nation from those they saw as tradition-trashing hooligans, they filled the nation's airwaves with "war on crime" rhetoric, influenced national and state budgets to reflect Nixon's priorities, and urged legislatures around the nation to extend sentences and build new prisons. Before long, the children of Martin Luther King Jr.'s America would be described by conservative leaders not as the nation's redeemers—as its brave inventors of a new democracy shorn of centuries of racism, patriarchy, and war-mongering—but as its depraved destroyers.
Media corporations then realized that producing terrible tales of violence and mayhem fueled profits, and so the nation was blanketed with a stunning array of cops-'n'-robbers TV dramas, spectacular nightly news footage, and "thug life" consumer items of every variety. As media critic Bill Yousman notes, the nation's media consumers fell hard and fast into a love affair with a peculiarly American version of "happy violence," which left them repulsed, titillated, and ever more susceptible to the worst forms of fear-mongering about crime waves and drug wars. And so, between Nixon's victory in 1968 and Barack Obama's victory in 2008, the nation's prison population skyrocketed to over 2.3 million; more than 5 million additional former prisoners languish on parole, probation, or house arrest, making the United States' carceral apparatus the largest in the world.
Not counting policing and judicial expenditures, and not counting the more than $40 billion the federal government spends each year on its disastrous drug war, funding this incarceration system costs state governments roughly $68 billion per year. To cover these costs, states all across the nation are cutting funding for education while boosting funding for prisons. In the 2012-2013 budget year, for example, California is scheduled to spend $15.4 billion on its prisons, more than the $15.3 billion it will spend for its once-vaunted and now crumbling post-secondary education system. No wonder that prison activist Ruthie Gilmore has taken to calling California a "golden gulag." ...

Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS), also called mandibulofacial dysostosis and Franceschetti-Zwalen-Klein syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder that causes abnormal development of facial bones and tissues, resulting in a wide range of facial defects. Symptoms vary from barely noticeable to severe. In general, most people have underdeveloped facial bones, especially cheekbones. Waardenburg syndrome Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is an inherited disorder that causes varying degrees of hearing loss and color changes in the skin, hair, and eyes. People with WS typically have pale white skin. Some people may have patches of white hair, while others may experience premature graying of the hair when they are as young as 12 years old. The eyes may be a very pale blue, or they may each be a different color (usually brown and blue). Sometimes, one eye may be two different colors.

Moral Relativism
Coincidentally, before I sat down to post part 3 of this drug series today, I saw Matt Lauer's interview with Floyd Landis. It was just painful to watch.
Lauer opened with his fastball, then repeatedly asked different variations of the same question: why should we believe you? Landis couldn't give a single straightforward answer and looked completely unconvincing. Heck, I felt myself squirming for Landis - I can't even imagine how defeated and ashamed he must feel. I actually felt bad for the guy.
On the other hand, maybe he's just getting the treatment he deserves.
I'm cutting the intro short, though - because this section is already over 1000 words long. I swear, sometimes I'm too analytical for my own good. Let's just move on to the next question...
Q: Would you ever use performance enhancing drugs?
A: This is the issue that prompts everyone to get on a pedestal and preach about the morality of athletics. Always play fair, don't break the rules, don't cheat, yada, yada, yada. But unless you're Craig (an actual preacher), I'm not listening.
For obvious reasons, the most high-profile steroid stories revolve around each sport's biggest stars. But for every superstar who may be juicing, there are thousands of younger (sadly, even down to high-schoolers), less talented athletes who confront the same question. Except in these cases, the outcomes of their decisions don't simply pad the record books, but dramatically influence their livelihood in their chosen sport.
Imagine you're a 29-year-old minor league baseball player making $25K per year and batting .240. You hit the weight room every day and train like a maniac, but your strength has seemingly plateaued.
You've played professional baseball for 10 years but never been called up to the majors. You don't have any other significant career options that can support your wife and baby after you retire, because you've spent every waking minute working on your game. You know that if you don't get called up before age 30, you probably never will be.
You also know teammates who started juicing and saw dramatic improvements in their performance. You realize that if you use the same types of low-potency steroids that many major leaguers use, you can maintain a higher intensity level in your training, and your strength will noticeably increase.
It doesn't take much. A handful of those 350-ft fly outs would become 375-ft home runs. Send just one more ball per week into the bleachers, and your batting average could climb to .270. That would probably be enough for a call-up to the big team. And a salary increase to $300K. All with relatively low long-term health risk if done carefully.
Finally, you start seeing those aforementioned teammates - who may have less natural talent than you - getting called up to the majors. There is a trainer hanging around the locker room every day who has told you that he can easily hook you up - all you have to do is ask.
Are you telling me that you wouldn't have that conversation with him some day? That you wouldn't give steroids some serious consideration?
The closer you get to breaking through, the more tempting it is to bend the rules. If you're a national-caliber 10K runner, a mere 45 seconds can determine the difference between missing the Olympic trials, and actually making the team.
Many sub-elite runners toil in obscurity and poverty for years, waiting for one breakthrough race on the national stage that will land them a shoe contract or an invitation to join a sponsored training group. Some runners get tantalizingly close: all it takes is a few seconds per mile over a 5K to make that kind of leap. But if it never comes, they have nothing to fall back on.
Now think of those elite athletes again. If you are a sprinter, what is the margin of victory in a major championship race? In many cases, it's less than a tenth of a second.
If you could build your strength up enough to run one tenth of a second faster, that translates into significant tangible gain. You could win the 100m instead of finishing fourth. With prize money, sponsor bonuses, and appearance fees for future races, it's literally a million-dollar decision.
But don't worry, you won't have to make your decision alone. Many young athletes are surrounded by like-minded individuals in similar circumstances. This circle of influence can be tremendously powerful, but not always in a beneficial manner.
This time, instead of a baseball player, think of yourself as a 23-year-old sprinter. You've never made the 100m finals of a major track meet. You've heard for years that the guys who are beating you (again, by a mere tenth of a second) are on the juice. Your longtime coach (who also happens to be your father figure since you never knew your own) has told you that your best chance of making a final is to level the playing field, to use the same weapons the faster runners are using. Otherwise, you're constantly bringing a knife to a gun fight.
He tells you it's safe. He tells you its effective. He explains that it's almost impossible to get caught. He tells you your teammates have done it. He tells you it's the only way. And hey, if you just want to try it, he's got some in his trunk right now.
I'll ask again…can you honestly say you wouldn't be tempted by this?
I'm absolutely certain that every single elite athlete faces this question at some point in their development. What I can't imagine, though, is how I would respond if I were in that situation.
It's easy to say, "These are the rules, don't break them." It's much harder to consider all of the factors at play in making such a decision. As much as we like to believe in absolutes, all of us implement our own moral relativism in decisions about our careers and daily activities.
Are you reading this blog at work? Have you ever snuck out early or straggled in late so you could have a longer workout? Have you ever peed in a public area? Sure, these are trite examples, but the point is that nobody follows all the rules, and everybody creates an internal justification for those rules or laws they choose to violate.
For almost all of us, sports are merely a healthy outlet for our physical energy and competitive drive. Recreational athletes regard organized competitions as bastions of honesty and fair play. We wouldn't think of cutting a corner in a road race, and we wouldn't dream of contaminating our bodies in hopes of gaining an edge on our competitors.
But for a relative handful of athletes, the stakes are different. If we depended on our 5K time or our overall finishing place in order to support our families or to extend our careers for a couple more years, perhaps our moral compass would skew a few degrees off-center.
So OK, you have your principles. You don't break the rules. Maybe you would be the one to draw a line in the sand and make the agonizing, career-limiting decision to say no to these ubiquitous temptations to cheat. And in the final analysis, maybe I would, too.
But the decision would be a lot harder than you think.

Dynamic Data Viz: A Better Way to Plot Rows in Google Analytics
Have you ever tried to use the "plot rows" feature in Google Analytics and it literally falls flat?
It happens because you can't keep the chart from graphing the metric total. That thick blue line across the top of your chart flattens everything else. It keeps the size of the chart static, rendering it useless.
Wouldn't it be great if you could graph only the rows you want and the chart would dynamically resize?
Here's the key to turning those flat, plotted rows into dynamic data visualizations: motion charts. (more…)

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Other random thought about the HPala in PvP: They excel at healing one or two toons through massive amounts of damage, while being less apt at throwing a moderate amount of healing over a large group. It is for this reason that Paladins end up being tank healers in raid PvE, while Druids and Shamans are assigned the raid healing roles. With the increased focus on battlegrounds in Cataclysm, I suspect we will see Paladins shine as flag-healers in WSG and tank healers in AV, while being seen as less desirable in more "Grand Melee"-style battlegrounds.
Or I could be totally wrong. I do know that there is no other healer I'd rather have for 2s and 3s.

I may be being incredibly dense here but I've spent an inordinate amount of time trying to understand what AppDeploy are going on about re: command line installs and trying desperately to understand how this relates to my current task(s) ie: installing over GPO.
Specifically Quicktime [insert multiple expletives here] is causing me no end of grief as I try to get it installed.
The only relevant install for the lastest version seems to be a command line install approach but I'm really quite clues as to how I could handle this via a GPO or script.
vb Scripts, etc.. are most definitely not my strong point so assume low knowledge on this but right now if anyone has got some input on getting Quicktime installed successfully and silently I'm all ears..

Fugitive mom arrested in San Diego after 37 years on run
San Diego, CA, United States (4E) – A convict who escaped from a Michigan prison in 1977 was found and arrested in San Diego on Monday.
Judy Lynn Hayman, 60, tried to mislead policemen who knocked on the door of her Park West apartment by insisting that her name was Jamie Lewis. But the fugitive later admitted she was Hayman, according to the San Diego Police Department (SPDP).
The Michigan Department of Corrections tipped Hayman's address at 3501 1st Street to the SPDP that led to her arrest. She is detained without bail at the Las Colinas jail in Santee pending extradition to Michigan.
Hayman was 23 and serving a 16-month sentence for attempted larceny at the Huron Valley Correctional Facility in Ypsilanti, about 36 miles west of Detroit, when she escaped on April 14, 1977.
Hayman hid from authorities for 37 years and used several aliases, including Brenda Bushmer, Judy Singleton and Judy Lynn Kayman, according to prison records. A neighbor told police she was living in her current address for at least seven years.
Hayman's son was present when police came to arrest her. The 32-year-old son said he did not know her mother was a fugitive.

Jail's help-wanted list keeps getting longer at Rockingham County House of Correction
The vacancies come as corrections officers enter their fourth year without a new contract and pay raises. Negotiations resumed in April, but whether county and union representatives will reach an agreement anytime soon remains to be seen.
"It's a maximum security to a minimum security facility. These are sworn law enforcement officers and they're dealing with anything that comes their way and they're very good at it," he said.
"You name the crime, it's in here," Church said.
The base starting pay for a corrections officer is $14.90 an hour.
Tombarello said that one corrections officer left for a security job at Manchester's Elliot Hospital where he'll make $3 more an hour.
"The turnover that's been going on since contract expiration, from our records, is record-setting. We're extremely concerned about the staffing levels and we cannot stress enough the importance of having a contract in place." said Jeff Padellaro, business agent for Teamsters Union Local 633 and the lead union negotiator.
Padellaro estimated that in the next 2½ years over 30 percent of the current workforce will be eligible for retirement.
Church said the jail has tried everything to find qualified help, including visiting job fairs.
Tombarello said he's "hopeful" that a new contract agreement may be reached, but cautioned, "I wouldn't say I'm optimistic."

This graphic was taken from an Egyptian website for a campaign to stop sexual and street harrassment. The campaign itself I'm all for (despite some rather interesting wording, which may be a translation issue) but this graphic does a terrible job of representing the campaign.
First of all, the woman (who is represented by a black silhouette with a voluptuous chest and butt) appears to be naked. She also appears to be almost pushing out her breasts at the silhouette hand that is reaching out to grab her.
This might be this most victim-blamey "prevention" graphic I've ever seen. Also probably not the most effective.
