boxers vs. dobermans
These are two of my favorite breeds (with the lab coming in 3rd) - does anyone have experience with both of these breeds and can you compare the two with respect to health, longevity, temperament, and traits?
I've narrowed it down to these two breeds and have visited breeders for both (and the lab as well) - I just wanted to get some perspective from people who have either lived with both or been around both.

My friend that I do dog shows with has dobermans. Temperament wise, they appear to be very close, with dobermans being just a little bit more reserved in my opinion. Chloe, my 8 mo old boxer, gets along very well with her 6 mo old puppy, but they have kind of grown up together. I think that Chloe is more playful, but that could just be her.
The biggest difference I see is much bigger and STRONGER the dobermans are. It is alot easier for me to control Chloe than the dobies.

I sure have....
I have had experience with Dobermans, my first dog was a female Doberman name 'Star'. Dobermans are beautiful dogs, But I mean, I think Boxers are more of the family type of dog, they get along with the whole family, while I found Star was more closer to my Dad than anybody else, they're great companions for a person... very good guard dogs, and always alert. Star used to always hunt down Iguanas that fell from the Mango trees.
We had to give Star away because we were moving and it wasn't possible for us to take her along, she was too big. The family that was taking care of her didn't really take good care of her, and when we visited she had changed from her fat and healthy look to a thin and sickly looking and she growled at me constantly, when I would go back there with her alone I'd cry, because I felt it was all my fault that she was so thin. the family gave her away ( my dad told me) and they gave her to a farmer because he owned other Dobermans, but before she turned four she had died...
now she's at the Rainbow Bridge (I'm crying right now... it's so sad...) I think she died because maybe of I don't know... maybe not just being treated right... I wish I would've taken her with me, when we used to own her she wouldn't eat whenever we went on trips, I believe that's why she turned thin.
When she saw my dad (her buddy) she immediatly jumped for joy and was SO happy, and it was so cute to see her and dad playing around again.
Anyway, just wanted to share that I've had my experience with Dobermans, I recommend them, but I also highly recommend Boxers, they're the best family dogs ever! that's all, and well bye

I don't know if this holds true for anyone elses dobie. Jett loved balls, tennis balls, fleece balls, rubber balls, anything round. She would fall asleep with her ball in her mouth and every once in a while her jaw would flex and squeeze the ball. Since Ozzy is a puppy I don't know if he will like balls as much but from what I've read boxers are ball lovers. Jett was very good with kids and other dogs. She would lay down to play with puppies if they were to small to reach her.
I've read and seen posts here about how good boxers are with kids. From what I've heard boxers also are very intuitive and I would say so are the dobies. On the flip side, my dobie was very, very, active as are boxers. She was a very "rugged" chewer. She was finally slowing down at age seven when we lost her to bloat. Also, comparitively speaking, many have said their boxer's are big lap dogs, so are dobies.
With in every breed there will be those who don't conform to the norm, but hey, that's not always a bad thing. I also think training and environment go a long way to shape the personality and emotional side of our dogs.
Dobies are taller but I don't think they are any more or less strong than the boxer. If anything, based on physiology, I'd say the boxer should be stronger. Lower center of gravity, heavier in the fore quarters/chest and shorter back than the dobie. I also don't think the neck is quite as long on the boxer? But I could be wrong. Our Jett could be quite a hand full on a leash, we'll have to wait until Ozzy is older to know how he'll do. Good luck with your decision making.

My 2 cents
My father had a wonderful Dobie named Major. He was one of the greatest dogs I have ever met. My dad was traveling all over the Country for his job and Major went with him. Major and Dad were always together. That was good and also bad. I remember Major having bigtime problems if Dad was away for too long. He would chew and just plain act different.
Dobies are my next favorite breed as well, but I would have to go with a Boxer. Right now I am a single guy, but I hope to get married in the near future. I was afraid that the Dobie would be less willing to accept my girlfriend/wife. Mia is very loving to my girlfriend, and boxers are very good with kids.
Dobies are wonderful, but I am partial to the Boxer.

I have both right now!
I have a 5.5 year old Doberman and a 5 month old Boxer (I have had boxers before). I agree with the previous post that Boxers are more family dogs. I don't have kids, but Faust (the Dobie) has been around them. He does well, but we did have one incident over a toy with my boyfriend's nephew. Faust snapped at him and he ended up getting a couple stictches in his head. I was not around or I would not have let the kid BITE his toy while he was playing with it (that tells you how much they trusted him around their kids)! They still played with each other for the rest of the visit, but I will keep a very close eye on him when kids are around. With Jake my previous boxer there was no doubt that he would NEVER bite anyone no matter what. Clarice is so young that it is hard to tell, but she has been nothing but friendly so far.
The Doberman has A LOT MORE energy than the boxer. He has to get out to run and he needs at least an hour a day. To get him really tired he needs a whole weekend camping trip of running free.
The Dobie is much more independent too. He doesn't care that much about dog/dog socializing and only cares for people socializing when he is tired and wants to snuggle.
They are very different personalities for sure. I love them both, but I will probably have another boxer if I ever plan to start a family.
Dobermans are a lot nicer dogs than most people think though.

If I ever went into another breed it would probably be the Doberman. I've actually never known one personally, but from a show standpoint the breed standards are very similar so, to me, it would be easy to make the transition. From all that I've heard and read about Dobes, the temperaments are much the same as well (although I too have gotten the impression that Dobes are a bit more reserved, especially to new people, than Boxers).
A very nice thing about Dobermans is the National breed club. The DPCA is one of the most education-oriented clubs I've seen. I've spoken before about the Illustrated Standard and how useful it has been to me in learning the Boxer standard. They have pamphlets and articles available on breeding, purchasing a Dobe, health issues, training, nutrition, grooming....very comprehensive information. They also, of course, when the first white Dobe appeared, did research and test breedings to determine the genetic basis of the white color and to evaluate any negative impact the color has on the health of the dog. The DPCA site is
There is also a Doberman Longevity program, which is for dogs who live to be 10 or older, and their offspring. More information on that program is here:
(Unfortunately, there is not much interest in the Boxer community for a similar program, although I personally think it would be invaluable!)
So - if you're interesting in learning more about the breed and perhaps getting involved in a Club, the DPCA has more to offer. If you're looking for a pet and companion - well, there's nothing quite like a Boxer!

Both are from the Working Group and were developed in Germany.
These are averages and compiled from annoying friends who are vets and breeders and based on a companion dog. From my personal experience, Dobermans are a little more reserved than Boxers.
Just my two cents. I prefer to think of Dobies as Boxers whose noses got stretched
Of course, in my heart, there is no other breed than Boxers!!!!

I don't trust dobies at all. My son Joe2 was bitting by my hubbys dobie when he was 14 months. I don't think that dobies are family dogs, they are one person dogs. I love my boxer, he would never bite anyone , unless he had to, for proction. Bailey has just been obeined trained thats it. Go with they boxer.

I know everyone thinks that their dog would never bite, no matter what. But I have to be the voice of reason and wisdom on this one. ANY dog, if placed in the right set of circumstances will bite.
I am sure that there are some dogs who will prove us wrong but we have to approach dog ownership from this perspective and work backward to proof against it.
If socialized with infants, toddlers and small children from puppyhood on most dogs learn to tolerate them, especially the larger breeds, small breeds are questionable. Here is the but you've been waiting for. I would personally never turn my back on a fourteen month old when in the presence of any dog, big, small, family pet or other, this will mean if you leave the room either the kid or the dog goes with you. Kids can freak out even a normally stable family dog. Especially if they have none or limited experience with them under very controlled environments when being socialized. To blame a breed for the actions of individual dogs is unfair. The reason I chose the doberman for my family was based upon how the animal interacted with a visiting child at the breeders home the day we visited her to look at this very pup.
I would suggest reading The Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson. It is very well written and explains the canine mind when it comes to biting and aggression. I understand we all have our opinions and this is just mine

Just wanted to make sure no one miss read my post. With the dobie biting incident there were 4 adults in the room watching, but I was not one of them (my boyfriend was...he bought the dobie). I didn't want you guys to think that I left the kids with the dog alone.

To celebrate the London 2012 Olympic boxing victory of Leeds girl Nicola Adams, the Post Office is celebrating by painting a gold postbox in the centre of Leeds (taking a reputed four coats); something that it is doing in every hometown of a gold medal Olympic Champion.
Competing in the Woman's flyweight competition against China's Ren Cancan, Adams was declared winner in the 51kg final with a 16-7 victory; a match that was watched by both Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Prime Minister, David Cameron.
Though Nicola's story isn't quite as regular as what you might expect.
As if taken from the realms of Rocky itself, she was once almost forced to give up the sport that she loved after being unable to afford the funding to continue; no one would sponsor her.
Growing up on the tough Burmantofts Estate, all Nicola wanted to do as a child was box. A girl nicknamed 'babyface', she was inspired by her idols, Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard.
'Watching the older fighters get in the ring, I dreamed that one day I could do that.'
A girl shaped by her inner city surroundings however, Adam's pledged her determination to the sport and funded her ambition by working on construction sites as well as appearing as an extra in soaps like Coronation Street and Eastenders.
At the age of eighteen however, she became the first woman boxer ever to represent England; just four years before this, people were still debating as to whether women were actually allowed to box in a professional sphere.
Despite this, and winning a European boxing medal in 2007, funding was still a dream for Nicola. In fact it would not be until 2009 when the International Olympic Committee backed women's boxing for the first time in its history; she now receives £27,737 a year from UK Sport and drives in a sponsored car.
Throughout the final she was spurred on by the crowd who relentlessly screamed her name throughout the event; a wonderful inspiration for any athlete:
"During the fight all I could hear was people chanting my name. I thought 'bloody hell' and it gave me the energy to throw more punches."
After winning the medal however, Adams looks to keep her feet firmly on the ground as she stated that she plans to celebrate by visiting her favourite restaurant – Nando's.

Thirty-Something Killer Whales Still Benefit From Mom.
Even when they have reached 30 years of age, male killer whales that still have a menopausal mother nearby have a greatly increased chance of survival compared to those without mothers. Some scientists believe that longevity in post-reproductive whale mothers is a genetic advantage that increases the odds that the longer living female will pass her genes onto more grandchildren. A similar theory supports the evolution of menopause in human females and other primates. Why young males need mom's attention more than daughters is answered by whale social dynamics. Females giving birth are supported by their own family's group, so that it makes more sense for a grandmother whale to invest her protective resources into her son.

Colorful Monkey New to Science.
In the central region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, villagers are familiar with a colorful monkey that is new to science. Locally called a "lesula," the monkey has a strikingly blond beard, dark limbs, reddish colored tail and back and brilliantly blue buttocks. It also has an eerily human face. DNA tests confirm that it is a genetically distinct species. Since it lives in mostly inaccessible jungle areas, it is not presently at risk to human hunting, but the increasing incursions of bush-meat hunters in the area could mean an uncertain future.

To Bee or Not to Bee: Epigenetics Involved in Beehive Roles.
It was not long ago that DNA was considered the sole determinant of behavior in animals. Today, the emerging field of epigenetics is discovering many ways in which environmental chemicals influence DNA through a process called DNA methylation. At the Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences Center for Epigenetics, Andy Feinberg and colleagues tested the chemical changes that occur in the DNA of bees that switch roles from nurses to foragers. These job changes occur within a hive when there is shortage of one or the other. Suspecting that an epigenetic chemical message directs the bees to their new assignment, the DNA methylation of bees before and after the switch was compared. As suspected, many DNA regions believed to be involved in hive job assignments showed distinct methylation changes in bees that made the job transition.

Encounter With a Giant Jellyfish.
Jellyfish are no friends of swimmers and their painful stings are no laughing matter. However, in Russia's White Sea, there exists a giant among jellyfish — the lion's mane jellyfish. As described by New Scientist reporter Douglas Heaven, the lion's mane can measure 70 centimeters in width and have tentacles that are 15 meters long—making it difficult for swimmers to keep their distance. Fortunately, although the lion's mane sting is extremely painful, it usually is not lethal.
Eucalypt Tree Preserve May Be Largest in the World.
Dr. Dean Nicolle grew up in Australia with an unusual childhood passion: eucalypt trees. But unlike most childhood interests, Dr. Nicolle followed his vision into adulthood. He became a botanist and travelled throughout the Australian continent collecting eucalypt specimens. The results is an arboretum with a collection of 7,000 trees representing 800 different species of eucalypt.

Elephant Slaughter in Africa Fueled By Religious Demand in Asia.
A black market in ivory religious carvings has set up the worst slaughter of African elephants in decades. In an article from National Geographic, it appears that just about every religion opens a market for ivory in some Asian country. Even worse, in some places, and again for religious reasons, "new ivory" is in greater demand than "old ivory." And while the forces driving the commercial value of ivory already easily outmatch the efforts of conservationists, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, which is supposed to limit the trade of ivory, has implemented policies that have actually made the situation worse.
390 Million-Year-Old Mollusk Meets a 3-D Printer.
3-D printers allow scientists to recreate actual models from two dimensional images by "printing" multiple layers of a soft plastic material that then hardens. That technology was recently used to model the reconstructed fossil of a spiky mollusk that lived 390 million years ago. Using computer imaging software to reconstruct the likely original shape of the mollusk, the team then used the 3-D printer to create a working model that was 12 times the size of the original.

Snake Origins Traced Through Genetics.
Researchers at the Department of Ecology and Evolution at Stony Brook University have used a "massive molecular dataset" derived from 44 genes and 161 species of lizards and snakes to trace these species back in time. One of the surprising results so far is the suggestion that all snakes evolved from an ancient line of subterranean snakes. Apparently, in the evolution of modern snakes, a transition was ultimately made from subterranean to surface life.

Tabbys and Cheetahs Share Same Gene.
Whether its a tabby domestic cat and cheetahs share a common gene that gives them their respective spotted or striped coat. Actually, there are at least two genes that control whether the feline will have spots or stripes and whether they will be blotched or distinct. This new field of discovery is possible because scientists now have a complete feline genome available. The DNA samples used in the study were of feral domestic cats in California and both wild and captive cheetahs from South Africa and Namibia.

Our Reptile Hearts.
The human heart has a complex system for inducing the electrical current that causes it to rhythmically beat. A very similar system is present in the hearts of birds. Spongy tissue is responsible for this function in mammals and birds, and there has been research to determine whether or not its forerunners appeared in genetically-distant reptiles. Now, new research has finally located that same spongy tissue hidden behind a thin wall of tissue in the hearts of reptiles. The finding squares with our understanding of the evolution of the heart from reptile to birds and mammals. The research also may have an important practical application. The human fetal heart relates in some ways to the same spongy tissue present in adult reptiles and understanding it better could be important in treating prenatal heart disorders.

Looks like you all had so much fun! Love the 100 word idea- great for collaborative writing! I teach Pre-K and I think I could adapt this so that it's similar to "write-the-room". Thanks so much for sharing your exciting day and great ideas!ReplyDelete
I is for Inspire
Great ideas! I love the fashion show. I'm sure the kids had a blast!!ReplyDelete
Love LOve Love it! I so want to do the tee shirts next year, and the hopscotch is going to find it's way into one of my lessons!!ReplyDelete

Your blog is beautiful. I always enjoy checking out what your class is up to. Our 100th day is tomorrow. Thank you for sharing!ReplyDelete
Looks like a very fun day! How do you keep the skip counting mat from sliding as they jump on it?ReplyDelete
Hi Maria! I enjoyed reading this blog post and finding some new ideas to implement next year for our 100th Day! (We already had ours this year) just a quick question for writing 100 words. How does that work? Is it an ongoing task, like over a period of a few day? And do you let the kids write a word as they think of one or is there a certain way you do this? Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Pam,Delete
The list of 100 words was something I did spontaneously! I put up a big piece of paper and invited kids to add to it when they had free time. There was no system. It was very independent and they just and to take turns so one person didn't hog the whole chart. About 1/2 of my class was obsessed with filling the list! We did it all in one day (and I teach 1/2 day so that tells you how quickly they filled it). Next year I would emphasize the rule that they need to try harder not to duplicate words, but this was an excellent way to boost their word knowledge and enthusiasm.
Love it all, Maria!!ReplyDelete

Our 100th day is on Monday! I am so excited!! I am buying your hat right now- so cute! AND definitely doing hopscotch, only not as pretty ;-) I also spread 100 pennies around the room so right when they walk in they have to find all of them. Last year we got stuck on 99 and couldn't find the last anywhere... (so I tossed an extra one on a shelf). I found it months later- ha! Thanks for the ideas!ReplyDelete

Hi Heather, I LOVE the idea of hiding 100 pennies in the room. My kids would be so busy and engaged! I will definitely have to remember that idea!Delete

Governor Rick Scott announced that 14 more school districts have approved pay raises for Florida teachers. Fifty-two school districts have agreed on salary increases so far.
Scott thanked Broward, Franklin, Gadsden, Gilchrist, Glades, Hardee, Jefferson, Lafayette, Lake, Levy, Putnam, Santa Rosa, Seminole and Washington school districts for approving these teacher raises.
In addition, the Palm Beach County School Board is scheduled to vote this week on their pay raise plan. The governor worked with the legislature to pledge $480 million during the 2013 legislative session to reward teachers and thank them for their nationally-recognized efforts to raise student achievement. Scott said, "A majority of Florida school districts have approved a well-deserved pay raise for our outstanding teachers. Working with the Legislature, we were proud to recognize the achievements of Florida students by awarding teachers for their work. We will continue to find ways to support Florida's teachers, who are the backbone of our entire education system." Education Commissioner Pam Stewart said, "I applaud these school districts for making teachers their priority and honoring Governor Scott's commitment to give them a well-deserved pay raise. The Governor knows that teachers work hard every day to raise academic achievement and deserve to be rewarded for their dedication to help students succeed."

A Stanford study funded by the National Science Foundation confirms a growing body of research that finds "the atmospheric conditions associated with the unprecedented drought in California are very likely linked to human-caused climate change."
"I don't know the science behind climate change," Ernst said, when pressed at a debate last night. "I can't say one way or another what is the direct impact, whether it's man-made or not."

text: News from the city's development industry has been grim lately. Duke Realty Corp. joined the layoff parade this week, dropping 45 employees (including 20 locally). In January, Lauth laid off 80 employees, including 54 at its Indianapolis headquarters, then dropped dozens more in March. Premier Properties USA Inc. laid off more than 40 employees at the end of March. Many in the business expect there could be more pain before the economy improves. "I'm seeing things I've never seen before,� Lauth CEO Bob Lauth told me for a recent story. "We're still incredibly bullish on this company and our people, but I am not bullish on the short term from an economic perspective.� Duke resorted to layoffs after reducing its projection for 2008 development starts from $1.3 billion to between $750 million and $1 billion. Will things get better or worse from here?

Pena excelling and doing it his way
Originally Published: October 25, 2008By Howard Bryant | ESPN.com
PHILADELPHIA -- Respect is a big word to Carlos Pena, the alternately serious and frothy Tampa Bay first baseman. He uses the word constantly, whether he is talking about a formidable opponent ("We have a lot of respect for the Red Sox"), the numerous mentors he recalls through the years when his can't-miss status stood severely in doubt ("I love Ron Washington. He showed me respect") or when he considers the global difficulties of his occupation ("One of the first things I learned is how much respect you have to have for this game. It's not easy").During this month of discovery, both for the Rays on center stage and a baseball universe accustomed to having them virtually eliminated before Labor Day, Pena has captured the postseason with his erudition, social viewpoints and ebullience. The day before the Phillies beat the Rays 3-2 in Game 1 of the World Series, a few of his teammates were looking for Pena. "He's not here," deadpanned reserve Eric Hinske. "He's probably out saving the whales." Streaking toward the playoffs, the team (including manager Joe Maddon) agreed to wear Mohawks, but third baseman Evan Longoria thought at least one player needed to represent the respectable side of the franchise. The player Longoria chose was Pena.
"You see," a smiling Pena says as he dresses before the Rays' Friday workout, "I have to be the clean-cut one." Outfielder Rocco Baldelli's face lights up when thinking about Pena. "He's the kind of person you want as a brother, a best friend," Baldelli said. "I honestly believe that he's the greatest human being I've ever met in major league baseball." And yet, the most telling way to understand Pena may not be through the lens of what challenging book he is currently reading, his social positions or the gushing respect his teammates have for him, but through the most basic lens: how he fought to win the battle between pitcher and hitter, spent nearly the first decade of his career in a tug-of-war with his employers over how to hit a baseball, and still found a way to emerge as a star in Tampa Bay.
[+] Enlarge
Kyodo/AP ImagesCarlos Pena led the Rays with 31 home runs and 102 RBIs during the regular season.
The fightPena walks a personality tightrope almost unheard of in baseball: the highly touted young player who resisted changes to his hitting even as he struggled, yet remained enormously well-respected by management of the nearly half-dozen clubs that let him go before his breakout first season in Tampa Bay, when he hit 46 home runs and drove in 121 runs in 2007. He was selected by Texas with the 10th pick of the first round in 1998, but played just 22 games with the big club. He was traded twice in seven months in 2002, from the Rangers to Oakland in January and then in a three-team deal from Oakland to Detroit.

World Series: Phillies vs. RaysComplete coverage of the Phillies-Rays matchup.

• Scouting: Phillies | Rays
HomeIf Longoria is the heart and the hope of the Rays, Pena represents the team's soul and conscience. He provides a player version of his manager, Maddon, in viewing baseball through the larger world, which in the myopic, self-absorbed baseball universe is more remarkable than it may first appear. Pena is also emblematic of another Rays/Maddon characteristic: being unafraid to think differently, of approaching the game with a different orthodoxy. The result is that St. Petersburg, of all places, has become a place of redemption. "I liked the idea of seeing pitches and drawing walks," Maddon said before the Rays evened the World Series with a 4-2 win in Game 2. "I also encouraged him to use the whole field and not pull everything, really avoid the 4-3 and 3-unassisted, and if he went through a bad streak, don't be changing your mechanics, man. Change what you're thinking about. Your thinking is probably out of control and you're starting to chase. "Sometimes, what a good coach does is misconstrued. The easiest thing to do as a coach, baseball specifically, is to attempt to change someone's physical mechanics. That is easy. The more difficult thing to do is change their mental mechanics." When Pena arrived in St. Petersburg, he was encouraged by two liberating moments. The first was that neither Maddon nor hitting coach Steve Henderson would attempt to remake him as a hitter. Neither man wanted to tinker with his swing. "As a former hitting coach, I was always concerned with trying to influence anyone's career too much. I always thought a hitting coach should make suggestions, instead of telling someone to do something," Maddon said. "For example, Stan Musial: Fortunately, there were no really intelligent hitting coaches around at that time because they would have told him, 'Stan, you cannot stand that way. That peek-a-boo stance is just not going to work, and you need to change when you're 17.' If someone had done that, you would have never heard of Stan Musial. Joe DiMaggio, extreme, spread-out stance. Paul Molitor, no movement before the pitch. All those things ran counter. So you have to let guys go, make your suggestions and let guys find their way through it."
He was part of that generation of players that had an opinion.
With Carlos, when you told him something, he wanted to know why. And he wasn't going to change if your reasoning didn't make sense to

Latest from Steven Lawson
Theologian for the Ages: John Calvin
from Steven Lawson Oct 28, 2011 Category: ArticlesJohn Calvin (1509–1564) is easily the most important Protestant theologian of all time and remains one of the truly great men who have lived. A world-class theologian, a renowned teacher, an ecclesiastical statesman, and a valiant Reformer, Calvin is seen by many as the greatest influence on the church since the first century. Apart from the biblical authors themselves, Calvin stands as the most influential minister of the Word the world has ever seen. Keep Reading
Covenant Theologian: Heinrich Bullinger
from Steven Lawson Oct 26, 2011 Category: ArticlesHeinrich Bullinger (1504–1575) is regarded as the most influential second-generation Reformer. As the heir to Ulrich Zwingli in Zurich, Switzerland, he consolidated and continued the Swiss Reformation that his predecessor had started. Philip Schaff writes that Bullinger was "a man of firm faith, courage, moderation, patience, and endurance . . . [who was] providentially equipped" to preserve and advance the truth in a difficult time in history (Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, Vol. VIII: Modern Christianity: The Swiss Reformation [1910; repr., Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1984], 205). During his forty-four years as the chief minister in Zurich, Bullinger's literary output exceeded that of Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Zwingli combined. He was of monumental importance in the spread of Reformed teaching throughout the Reformation. So far-reaching was Bullinger's influence throughout continental Europe and England that Theodore Beza called him "the common shepherd of all Christian churches" (Theodore Beza, cited in Schaff, History of the Christian Church, Vol. VIII, 207). Keep Reading
Prince of Translators: William Tyndale
from Steven Lawson Oct 21, 2011 Category: ArticlesWilliam Tyndale (ca. 1494–1536) made an enormous contribution to the Reformation in England. Many would say that he made the contribution by translating the Bible into English and overseeing its publication. One biographer, Brian Edwards, states that not only was Tyndale "the heart of the Reformation in England," he "was the Reformation in England" (Edwards, God's Outlaw: The Story of William Tyndale and the English Bible [Darlington, England: Evangelical Press, 1999], 170). Because of his powerful use of the English language in his Bible, this Reformer has been called "the father of modern English" (N. R. Needham, 2,000 Years of Christ's Power, Part Three: Renaissance and Reformation [London: Grace Publications, 2004], 379). Keep Reading
Zurich Revolutionary: Ulrich Zwingli
from Steven Lawson Oct 19, 2011 Category: ArticlesOther than Martin Luther, Heinrich Bullinger, and John Calvin, the most important early Reformer was Ulrich Zwingli. A first-generation Reformer, he is regarded as the founder of Swiss Protestantism. Furthermore, history remembers him as the first Reformed theologian. Though Calvin would later surpass Zwingli as a theologian, he would stand squarely on Zwingli's broad shoulders. Keep Reading
Fortress for Truth: Martin Luther
from Steven Lawson Oct 17, 2011 Category: ArticlesMartin Luther was a giant of history. Some believe he was the most significant European figure of the second millennium. He was the pioneer Reformer, the one God first used to spark a transformation of Christianity and the Western world. He was the undisputed leader of the German Reformation. In a day of ecclesiastical corruptions and apostasies, he was a valiant champion of the truth; his powerful preaching and pen helped to restore the pure gospel. More books have been written about him than any other man of history except Jesus Christ and possibly Augustine. Keep Reading
The Reformation and the Men Behind It
from Steven Lawson Oct 14, 2011 Category: ArticlesAs Reformation Day (Oct. 31) approaches, we will be presenting a series of posts about the major Reformers who led the effort to restore the church in the sixteenth century—Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, William Tyndale, Heinrich Bullinger, and John Calvin. These posts are excerpted from Pillars of Grace by Dr. Steven J. Lawson. In this book, Dr. Lawson traces the teaching of the doctrines of grace from the Early Church Fathers to the Reformers. Each chapter focuses on one man and includes a biographical sketch. It is these biographical sketches that we will be posting on the blog. We hope you will enjoy and learn from the stories of these remarkable men. In today's post, Dr. Lawson offers some background on the Reformation and the Reformers. Keep Reading
Divine Sovereignty
from Steven Lawson Jun 24, 2011 Category: ArticlesThe sovereignty of God is not a secondary doctrine that is relegated to an obscure corner in the Bible. Rather, this truth is the very bedrock doctrine of all Scripture. This is the Mount Everest of biblical teaching, the towering truth that transcends all theology. From its opening verse, the Bible asserts in no uncertain terms that God is and that God reigns. In other words, He is God—not merely in name, but in full reality. God does as He pleases, when He pleases, where He pleases, how He pleases, and with whom He pleases in saving undeserving sinners. All other doctrines of the Christian faith must be brought into alignment with this keystone truth. Keep Reading
The Unwavering Resolve of Jonathan Edwards
from Steven Lawson Dec 18, 2008 Category: Ligonier ResourcesThe second volume in A Long Line of Godly Men Profile series from Reformation Trust, The Unwavering Resolve of Jonathan Edwards uncovers practical ways Edwards sought to fulfill his resolutions. The author, Dr. Steven J. Lawson, exhorts contemporary Christians to do likewise, living for God's glory with unrestrained passion. Keep Reading

6:15 A man who jokingly sought $10 from a crowdfunding website to pay for his first attempt at making potato salad and ended up raising $55,000 is making good on his promise to throw a huge party.
Zack Brown is planning PotatoStock 2014, an all-ages, charity-minded party Saturday in downtown Columbus, Ohio, featuring bands, food trucks, beer vendors, potato-sack races and definitely potato salad.
His effort on Kickstarter in early July to buy potato salad ingredients took on a life of its own and attracted worldwide attention as the amount grew. The 31-year-old eventually raised $55,492.
The Idaho Potato Commission and corporate sponsors have donated supplies for Brown and volunteers to whip up 300 pounds of potato salad for the event.
The Columbus Dispatch reports Brown partnered with the Columbus Foundation to start an endowment that will aid area charities that fight hunger and homelessness. The account, started with $20,000 in post-campaign corporate donations, will grow after proceeds from PotatoStock are added.
"His fund will have potential way after this potato salad is forgotten," said Lisa Jolley, the foundation's director of donors and development.
Brown has been wooed by chefs, a literary agent and admirers seeking selfies and hugs.
"You never know what's going to take off," said Justin Kazmark, a spokesman for Kickstarter, whose projects reach their goals 44 percent of the time. "This was just the Internet being the Internet."
Brown said the effort was never really about potato salad.
"I think it says something about how you can spread an idea now," Brown said.
6:45 Offbeat Holidays you can celebrate/commemorate in October.
We all know about Breast Cancer Awareness Month but did you know it's Domestic Violence Awareness Month? Given that it's been very much in the news as of late, I thought I'd mention it. If you know someone who is involved in a dangerous situation, please pass this along to them. Here's a link for more info: http://www.ncadv.org/takeaction/DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth.php
Now for the offbeat holidays:
Here are a few of my faves from the list, but check the link for the full list:
7:15 Makers Of Caffeinated Underwear Pay Up To FTC, Consumers
We know what caffeine does for your energy level, but did you really think adding caffeine to your undergarments would produce weight loss results? No, we didn't believe it either. And now the revelation that said undergarments did not result in weight loss has resulted in a $1.5 million settlement between Norm Thompson Outfitters, Inc. and Wacoal America, Inc. and the Federal Trade Commission.
In addition to the monetary penalty, consumerist.com reports the companies are prohibited from making future "false and unsubstantiated claims" about their shapewear, in addition to shelling out more than $1.5 million in consumer refunds.
False claims made by the companies included that the so-called slimming undergarments would "eliminate or substantially reduce cellulite; reduce the wearer's hip measurements by up to two inches and their thigh measurements by one inch; and reduce thigh and hip measurements 'without any effort," as well as "destroy fat cells, resulting in substantial slimming."

Someone close to CPAC said Monday that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie wasn't asked to attend by organizers of the event, which will take place in mid-March at a resort outside Washington. Officially, CPAC says they're finalizing this year's schedule.
Other Republicans who are thought to be considering presidential bids and are on the CPAC speaking list include Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who was announced as a speaker earlier Monday.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin are also on the roster, along with former Sen.

Beyond 9/11: Portraits of Resilience
Here's a Snapshot of the Campaign for President
At a time when the media is saturated with the coverage of the tragic murder of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, take a moment to view this snapshot of the campaign for President. It is curious that former Governor Jeb Bush who signed the bill that Trayvon's killer is using as an excuse, is silent. He did find the time to speak out endorsing Mitt Romney for President. As usual, the NRA, which was present as Bush signed the law, is silent on its culpability in murders with a gun in the nation. The National Rifle Assn. is confident that their lobby has the Congress in check and they will always get their way!
Last night a crowd of about 30,000 people gathered to protest the lack of an arrest of George Zimmerman in the case of the killing of teenager, Trayvon Martin. A huge protest was mounted to protest. At the last-minute the wheels of the law in Florida finally turned… a little. The police chief who had not arrested the child's shooter when most
people saw probable cause for premeditated murder, stepped down from his office (temporarily) and Governor Rick Scott appointed a special prosecutor after the US Justice Dept. had entered the case scheduling a grand jury for April 10. So, once again we see the effectiveness of mass protest and grassroot protest. The Tea Party may still be in our Congress, but, if we take part in mass demonstrations against our do-nothing Congress who oppose President Obama, not for cause, but to wage a war against him for the power of The Whitehouse, we can win! Whenever there is a chance to lend our bodies to protests in our cities and nearby towns, go, participate eagerly. Although we can't measure the direct effectiveness letters and emails are to Congress, thousands of written protests can not be ignored. Once again, write to you representatives and tell them what you think. I have three men who represent me in Congress They are prominent Republicans. Although they do not agree to vote the way I ask, two of them do acknowledge receipt of my correspondence and follow-up with a written response. This lone Democrat gets a 66% response from these die-hard Republicans. I implore you to do the same: WRITE! In the absence of our voice, our representatives will only have their personal opinions (and those of lobbyists) to guide their vote on issues which affect all of us. Blocking a dam begins with one sandbag. Be the one who adds many sandbags to stem the tide of adverse politics..
Three white Mississippi men pleaded guilty to federal hate crimes in connection with the 2011 beating death of an African-American man in Jackson, the Justice Department announced.
Deryl Dedmon, John Aaron Rice and Dylan Butler each admitted to conspiracy and violating a federal hate-crimes law in last June's killing of James Craig Anderson. They face sentences of up to life in prison and $250,000 in fines, prosecutors said.
The 19-year-old Dedmon had already pleaded guilty to state murder and hate-crime charges Wednesday in a state court and was sentenced to life in prison.
The men are among the first defendants to be prosecuted under the federal hate-crime statute that President Barack Obama signed in 2009 and the first to be prosecuted in a fatal attack, Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez said.

Unity 2.6.1 Released!
Hey everyone,
We've just shipped Unity 2.6.1 out to the world. This release includes a Webplayer that is compatible with 64-bit Safari on Snow Leopard, and fixes for problems affecting terrain trees and some asset importing. This upgrade is recommended for all users.
You can see all the good stuff here: http://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new/unity-2.6#unity-2.6.1
And download the latest build here: http://unity3d.com/unity/download/

thank you
some of the problems are solved but what about others?
for example: the byte variables inspector is GUI control is a checkbox yet.
@Ashkan: the goal of 2.6.1 was to fix critical bugs and release it as soon as possible. The goal was not to fix all bugs that exist in the product; for any product that can take eternity.
You guys should provide a link for Safari 64 bit users to upgrade their webplayer. Either that or update your detection code. Right now I can't view any Unity content and can't find where to install the new web player.

DIY Gift Idea: Etched Wooden Spoons
Design Mom
Have you tried any wood-burning projects for your handmade gifts this holiday? Wood-burning (or etching) is the art of burning designs onto wood surfaces — and these spoons are a fun and creative way to get started with learning how.
Don't let the art of pyrography intimidate you — etching is easy and safe, so long as you take reasonable precautions with the heated tip of the etcher. You can pick up a set of inexpensive wooden spoons from places like IKEA, Home Goods, or Cost Plus, and a $20 etcher from any crafts store (Dremel makes a popular model for crafting).
Check out this tutorial from Design Mom for designing your own set of etched spoons, and then take the idea further with etched coasters, etched placecards, and even etched cheese boards.
(Image credits: Amy Christie for Design Mom)

Along these lines, a musically gifted friend of mind (teaches voice and piano, sings and plays in several bands, fills the house with music, hubby musically talented, too) received a spoon as a gift that had a musical note cut out of the wooden spoon. I'd love one with a penguin cut out.
Love this idea! Are the etched spoons still food-safe?
They're safe until you use them once. You'll never get the food particles out of those burned in areas.
I would think they would stay food safe so long as you kept them well washed and well oiled with a food safe butcher block or mineral oil. They're extremely cute!
These are lovely.
Food in all those etched nooks and crannies. Not really going to be useable after etching.
Oh, please people. The burned spots are not deep, and wood has a natural grain and texture anyway -- this doesn't make it any worse for sanitizing.
I think the idea is fascinating! A person could Zentangle with the wood burner!
Agree with SherryBinNH...no worries about food safety...just wash like normal. Even ancient wooden spoons with lots of use are perfectly safe.
I like the idea of etching... but these spoons.... do not do it for me.
Perhaps just the handles could be etched.

Norse Mythology And Thorstein The Staff Struck English Literature Essay
| Norse mythology. This is an odd term for me. I have never spent much time studying the culture of the Northern Germanic people from the medieval period. Maybe this is why I chose to discuss the pendant "Thorstein the Staff-Struck." I found this culture extremely interesting but very strange. The concept of Asgard and Utgard was a culture shock to me. It is, as always, astounding to see how different cultures view their religions. The fact that heroism alone can get you in to their idea of heaven is almost appalling. But more frightening than that is the fact that even in "heaven" the heroes will be fighting to defend their "heaven" over and over in a vicious cycle that never ends in this "heaven" that is no heaven at all, or not one that we as Christians think of. So as outlined in the lecture notes, the only good men can hope to achieve in this culture is heroism. In the saga of "Thorstein the Staff-Struck, this idea is reiterated over and over again. They all must be heroes, or die trying.
| The title character Thorstein is a very even-tempered man who I assume would be happy to be let alone throughout his life, which is different from his cultural norms. I inferred from the reading that these Icelandic men are a very crude, boastful bunch who seem to always be willing to fight or brag about any insignificant event. I interpreted this mainly from reading about Thorvald and Thorhall. So to see this man who wishes to avoid confrontation and remain calm in all circumstances very clearly shows that he is in cultural transition. However we see that he does participate in the horse-fight which is relative to this Icelandic culture. I think it's a very crude event and made me a little sad to read about it. This horse-fight was the cause for this entire "thread." The excitement of this sporting event landed the blow on Thorstein's eye. Being his even-tempered self, he did nothing which again shows his wavering ideas of his culture. A normal norse man would have started a brawl with that incident. A normal Norse man, like his father…when his father finds out about the occurrence at the horse-fight he is outraged and thinks that his son is a coward. This I believe to be a usual response from an Icelandic man. The guilt from his father urges Thorstein to confront Thord about the event. When Thord replies that the blow was both accidental and deliberate and claims that there will be no compensation for the deliberate blow then he is killed by Thorstein. Here we see his battle with his culture transition. He really would have liked to let the incident remain hidden in the past but when society pressures him to respond he must. The statement is also true of Bjarni. Society keeps telling him to prosecute Thorstein for his actions but he knows that "Thorstein has never killed anyone without good reason." When it finally comes to the battle between Thorstein and Bjarni, we see the ultimate moral and cultural conflict. Neither men want to harm the other and have only begun this feud because their culture told them it was necessary. Each man considers the respect of the community essential to his self-respect. I love the ending of this story because even though Bjarni still, ironically, takes Thorstein away from his father which he was trying to avoid throughout the entirety of the story; they put an override on their culture which would have told them to fight to the death and they were both aloud to live.
| The women that were present in this story had very small roles but were significant in showing the position of women in the northern Germanic culture. The woman at the beginning of the story very plainly states," It's true what we women are often told we are not very clever," which she must have heard a hundred times throughout her life as an Icelandic woman. But she could not have been any more sarcastic with her response, because she knew exactly what she was doing when she did not tell Bjarni right away when the incident happened. She wanted to make sure Thord was dead so that he got what he deserved and also to let Bjarni know that he was not always in complete control of the happenings around his estate. The other woman present in this story is Bjarni's wife who presses the matter of prosecuting Thorstein because the people of the town are talking badly about her husband but when he agrees to see to the matter she immediately objects because she doesn't want her family in harm's way. Isn't that just like a woman…still today I believe?
| I thoroughly enjoyed reading this thread and once again it opened my naïve eyes to world around me and how people can view the world so differently than I do.

BMW Zagato Coupe revealed
BMW has debuted an amazing road-ready coupe show car built in association with legendary Italian styling house Zagato. The BMW Zagato Coupe will debut this weekend at the posh Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este car show in Italy.
What is the BMW Zagato Coupe?
The BMW Zagato Coupe is officially described as a one-off and has come about thanks to a friendship between BMW design senior vice president Adrian van Hooydonk and Zagato chief designer Norihiko Harada.
Does the BMW Zagato Coupe have heritage?
The BMW Zagato Coupe is actually the latest in a line of BMW collaborations with Italian styling houses. These date back to 1939, when a special BMW 328 clothed in Italian bodywork was created: it won the famous Mille Miglia race the following year.
Are there any more BMWs designed by Italians?
Other famous BMWs styled by Italians include the iconic 1978 BMW M1 - but, as BMW says, working methods used on the latest BMW Zagato Coupe collaboration are very different. They embrace digital sketching, Photoshop and CAD/CAS systems.
How traditional is the BMW Zagato Coupe?
The BMW Zagato Coupe is still, however, entirely hand built. Not only this, all the aluminium panels are hand-beaten by hand: aluminium sheet metal really has been shaped entirely by humans to create the stunning forms of the show car.
Which model is the BMW Zagato Coupe based on?
The bodywork of the BMW Zagato Coupe has been tailored to fir the rear-drive mechanical - but BMW has released no details of them. It is safe to assume they're based on one production Z4 variant, perhaps the 306hp Z4 sDrive35iS.
Is the BMW Zagato Coupe just a show car?
Amazingly, the BMW Zagato Coupe is fully road legal. It's been aerodynamically honed and has even been tested at high speed on the BMW test track.
Did BMW enjoy working with Zagato?
"Working with Zagato was a fantastic experience," said van Hooydonk. "It was extremely enriching for us to create something with people who share our understanding of good design and passion for cars."
Did BMW and Zagato get on with each other?
The shared petrolhead passion is, reckons van Hooydonk, what makes the BMW Zagato Coupe so special. "The open and constructive dialogue, with Zagato, their experience, craftsmanship and incomparable sense for forms. All of these gifts are wrapped up in the new BMW Zagato Coupe."
Has the BMW Zagato Coupe been crash-tested?
Intriguingly, BMW has not only stated the BMW Zagato Coupe is road-ready, it's also admitted the car meets all necessary crash regulations. Who go to such efforts for a one-off car? Unless, of course, it's not going to be a one-off...
Has the BMW Zagato Coupe been created by petrolheads?
This is a genuine collaboration between auto enthusiasts, says BMW. The BMW Zagato Coupe is a BMW seen through the eyes of Zagato, showing the 'paired down visual mass' of Zagato within a profile that's unmistakably BMW.
What's with the roof of the BMW Zagato Coupe?
The BMW Zagato Coupe has the trademark Zagato double bubble roof: it wouldn't be a Zagato without this. The firm says the 'doppia gobba' roof gives more space for those wearing helmets, improves aerodynamics and also enhances the car's torsional rigidity.
What is the front of the BMW Zagato Coupe like?
The front of the BMW Zagato Coupe is low, wide and forward-surging. The bonnet contains additional air intakes - hinting at a high-performance turbo motor beneath? - and the design shouts 'BMW', thus achieving a key aim of Zagato.
What is the side of the BMW Zagato Coupe like?
The silhouette of the BMW Zagato Coupe is classic: long bonnet, set-back greenhouse and Aero-tuned Kamm tail. The surfacing of the bodywork is unmistakably BMW though, with complex forms and lots of playing with light and shadows.
What visual tricks does the side of the BMW Zagato Coupe pull?
The side of the BMW Zagato Coupe intentionally draws the eye rearwards, emphasizing the rear-drive mechanicals with plenty of visual tricks.
Why are the side air vents of the BMW Zagato Coupe special?
The side air vents contain another silver Zagato Z: apart from the BMW badges, these are the only chrome elements on the car - all other detailing sports a matt finish.
Why is the rear window of the BMW Zagato Coupe special?
Check out the criss-cross transition from the side windows to the rear, says Zagato: this is another trademark of the firm, and is particularly striking when viewed from above.
What is the rear of the BMW Zagato Coupe like?
Because it's been hand-beaten from sheet aluminium, the designers of the BMW Zagato Coupe have been able to minimize the lines in the rear end, making it appear as if it's built from one big section. The transparent panels are a Zagato styling cue and the rear diffuser is absolutely enormous, cutting into the side panels to suggest this car really has been optimised for high-speed use.
Why are the wheels of the BMW Zagato Coupe special?
The distinctive propeller-shaped five-spoke alloy wheels of the BMW Zagato Coupe reference the aerospace heritage of both BMW and Zagato.
How has Zagato created the amazing paint?
The stunning Rosso Vivace paint of the BMW Zagato Coupe changes from bear-black to brilliant red, depending on light levels and angle of view. It's made up of a black base coat, a silver metallic layer, then six thin layers of brilliant red - all covered by two clear layers of lacquer.
What does the designer of the BMW Zagato Coupe say?
For me, the BMW Zagato Coupe holds a very special magic," said Norihiko Harada. "It exudes a certain spontaneity which, when combined with the type of unconventional solutions typical of Zagato, lend the car a very individual elegance."
