Dear anonymous,
Research, my dear friend, research!
I try to actively be aware of how the language I use perpetuates various hierarchies. As someone committed to a feminist socialist anti-racist world, I have been fairly critical of how language perpetuates power relations from these perspectives. However, with my decision to go vegan, lately I've been noticing how my language reflects certain conceptions on how the relationships between animals and humans should be approached.
I first noticed it when I was saying something about "killing two birds with one stone" and as I said it I though to myself "wait, why would I want to kill birds?" Then today I was telling one of my friends about how she should be a "guinea pig" for my vegan cooking attempts. I noticed after I said it that there was something off about normalizing animal testing in my language.
To me, this type of language parallels things like rape "jokes" or "jokes" that build on stereotypes. It's somewhat uncomfortable and I haven't fully established an articulate thesis on it yet. But what I'm getting a sense of is that it's this type of language that normalizes notions about how animals should be treated (for example deeming their murder as approach or testing on them as the norm). Over the next little while I will reflect on this more and come back with something more articulate (and probably will write it when I'm not struggling to keep my eyes open because I'm so sleepy), but in the meantime I'm interested in hearing your thoughts?
I've been feeling like I need to shift some things to prepare for exams and to just deal with the sense that things have been stagnating.
I'm keeping it a realistic list with a narrow time frame, so that I can actually accomplish it #pragmatism. Also, most of it is things I've been trying but I haven't written down.
Alright, essentially I want to be a good student, vegan, well-informed, and have fun. I like this!
I'm thinking tomorrow night I'll throw chili together in the crockpot & figured I should probably get a recipe instead of putting random stuff together (which I did today and was pretty good - but still, it could be better!)
Why thank you! Appreciation for my page is always delightful. I'm so excited about the 5 minute vegan chocolate recipe you posted! It sounds delicious!
Good luck to you on the goal of veganism! I know for me, every day of being a full vegan feels awesome! It's always nice to hear others are also trying it out - makes me feel like I'm not alone. "Vegans of the world unite"? #BadCommunismReferences
Warm regards,
1. I had to look up "jw" (which makes me feel kind of old), but I'm assuming you meant "just wondering"
2. I have thought about going vegan and I have decided to aspire to be vegan. See my post here.
3. I think I've answered your question. But now I get to ask one, why do you ask?
Warm regards,
So, I've obviously had to deal with a number of questions about choosing to go vegan recently. I decided the solution was this elaborate manifesto on FB. Copied below, partially for your amusement and partially if I have to remove it on FB I will have a copy.
I know a number of people have expressed curiosity in my recent choice to attempt veganism. I haven't been the most receptive to these inquiries, which I realized was largely due to one early negative reaction that has coloured how I have responded to other people (I've taken to being somewhat irrationally defensive). This has admittedly been unfair of me and I apologize to those of you who have been on the receiving end of this. I'm making an effort to overcome the natural defensiveness from the the negative reaction that I received. I've also remembered an important lesson from politics: the more you avoid talking about something, the bigger of a deal it becomes. So, I figured it was time to write a manifesto, because that's what communists do…
The 11th Doctor
But before I begin, I want to set some ground rules. This post is to explain why *I* have chosen veganism. I'm not trying to convince anyone that they should and I don't want people to try to convince me that I shouldn't. I ask that you be respectful and I will return the favour. I think food ethics are a personal choice and attempting to impose them on anyone is problematic.
The picture of the Doctor is meant to be lighthearted, don't jump to the conclusion that non-vegans are uncool - I'm not trying to convey that - especially as Whoites would recall the 11th Doctor enjoys fish sticks and custard (yes, I'm a geek).
Also note that these are my early days and allow for the reality that I'm a dynamic person and am not wedding myself the analysis laid out below. I'm merely setting it down to satiate the people's curiosity.
Why veganism?
First of all, I've been (ovo-lacto) vegetarian since I was 13 years old, so veganism is a natural progression - it's not like it has come out of the blue. I chose vegetarianism for various reasons and my reasons have shifted and changed throughout my life. Initially, it was because I felt healthier when I gave up meat - the impetus was a month long trip to India during which I was completely vegetarian. I think everyone's body is different and mine responded better to a vegetarian diet.
Over time, I've come to the conclusion that I don't feel comfortable with current agriculture practices. I'm also just generally not comfortable with using animals to meet my material needs (clothing/food). But, again, I emphasize this is a personal position and you are free to have whatever relationship with the agriculture industry and with animals that you choose.
The impetus for considering veganism was somone bringing to my attention how the dairy industry parallels a number of the same concerns that I have for the meat industry. This has led me to really critically evaluate the roots of my vegetarianism and consider the type of relationship that I want to have with animals. Particularly, I'm finding that I don't feel comfortable with the appropriation of reproductive organs of cows. I emphasize again that this is a personal position and I don't judge/expect/want you to have the same stance as I do. Moreover, I have some serious issues with lactose intolerance. So these two simultaenously fit nicely with the decision to eliminate dairy from my diet. Thus far, it's been quite good as I have not had any unpleasant stomach aches.
With regards to eggs, I've never really been comfortable with them. I've given them up at various points during my vegetarianism. I've never been big on eating them, but have partaken in a number of baked goods that contain them. To me, it feels natural that to extend some of the above analysis to eggs and choose to remove them from my diet as well.
The decision to become vegan has also re-ignited my commitment to various social justice issues. I've found law school to sometimes drain my values and suck me into the corporate system. Since choosing veganism, I've found myself more motivated and empowered to exercise my values. To those who wonder what values, I'm thinking of: feminism, socialism, environmentalism, and a general commitment to wanting to change society to be more equitable and sustainble. I think veganism is an exercise that both challenges the system but works within it in ways that make me feel pretty excited and energized. Once again, I emphasize that veganism is an expression of social justice *for me* but that doesn't mean that I think it's the only or best way to exercise social justice.
Why Aspiring Vegan?
I've gradually come to the conclusion that a flexible moral code is the most realistic approach for me. I feel like it acknowledges that I have to allow space for dealing with the multiple different situations that come about on a case-by-case basis rather than being too rigid. I've also realized that I need to be realistic about what is available to me and sometimes I may have to eat things that I would not normally because of circumstances. I'm doing this on a case-by-case basis and so far there has only been two situations where I was out of time, hungry, and the only available food was vegetarian and it was likely going to be thrown away if I didn't eat it. This is a fairly narrow construction, but it was what I feel comfortable with.
So why not just call myself vegetarian? I think because that's not what I'm aiming for, I'm making a concerted effort to be vegan. Moreover, I've altered my lifestyle in a number ways from what it was when I was vegetarian, so I feel like that label doesn't adequately capture my aims. Furthermore, I feel like I have a right to choose what label to ascribe to myself and I hope that you can be respectful of this decision.
What about humane meat?
I think it is your prerogative to choose sustainable, humanely raised, grain/grass-fed animals - sometimes referred to as the "traditional" way. It's not for me. I just point out that realistically, raising animals in the "traditional" way would not meet current meat demands, particularly as these demands are growing globally. I think the humane treatment of animals would entail reducing the overall consumption. In this way, people like me who abstain from the demand altogether would be useful to help in this goal. That being said, I do think any sorts of better regulations and treatment of animals is a step forward, especially if we move away from factory farming.
What about your health?/Will you get enough nutrients?
I've always found it fascinating how curious some people are about my nutrition/health upon finding out I'm vegetarian. I think those people should devote more time to being concerned about all the people, especially children, who are malnourished because of the unequal economic relations in our society that make it difficult to attain adequate food.
That being said, I have never had nutrition issues with being vegetarian and I've spoken to my doctor about my decision to go vegan and he has no concerns. So I appreciate the concern, but I'm doing fine :). In fact, I'm doing better with regards to calcium because the vegan diet circumvents my lactose intolerance.
What will you eat?
This is a ludicrous question. I love food and the decision to become vegan has led me to make more efforts to cook a diverse number of foods. Trust me, I have tonnes to eat and you will be subjected to endless pictures of my vegan food (FYI: you can block my picture posts if they annoy you, FB allows for that, so I feel like that gives me a license to post as much as I desire).
Alright, I feel like I've set up a general framework and pre-emptively answered a few questions. I will just conclude with saying that I appreciate your curiosity and I particularly appreciate all the support that I have received. I also have to credit to the idea of "aspiring vegan" to a friend of mine, she captured it perfectly so I'm using her terminology.
Keep in mind my earlier point, I don't want a debate about my decision to go vegan, I'm merely saving myself having to repeatedly say the same story. I am willing to answer questions and I'm definitely up for being helpful if you are considering veganism or if you have similarly taken the plunge (as I've noticed a few of you mention recently).
I'm also too lazy to back and edit this, so I apologize for the inevitable grammatical/spelling errors.
42 logs/day, depending on the size, hunger, and other contingent factors specific to the woodchuck. Wait, do woodchucks eat wood? I always thought chucking wood meant eating it…but I'm realizing that it probably means in the sense of "throwing" #revelation
Haha, beats me! Usually by this point, I've either annoyed the person or the person has annoyed me. :P But I'm super glad that's not the case currently :D
So, I went to the store to buy ingredients for vegan potato salad and came back with a bunch of delicious things (marinated tempeh, almond butter, vegan butter, and a vegan cupcake)…but none of the ingredients. What threw me off was there was more than 1 brand of vegan mayo.
Here I thought that being vegan would equal less choices but no: first I stand in the vegan milk aisles debating between rice, almond, and soy (I went with almond again for the record). Then, I'm debating between Spectrum Mayonaise, Nayonaise, and Earth Balance Vegenaise…which one should I pick? Or do you have other recommendations?
I'll probably just use it in sandwiches/burger-esque situations & this vegan potato salad that I was planning.
Note: While writing this, I realized it's more like a diary-entry than a post to engage with people. I acknowledge this, but this is part of what I want Comradia to be about.
Today was my first official vegan day of the pledge I decided to take (it's for one week). I actually was intentionally vegan the last two days, started early because my latest conceptualization of dairy has led me to be quite off-put by it (I've been ovo-lacto vegetarian for over 8 years - so the ethics re: eating of meat are established). My philosophical understanding of dairy right now is fairly personalized and centred on my own body, so I don't feel comfortable openly sharing it - but essentially I feel I personally cannot in good conscience contribute to the demand fuelling the dairy industry.
I zealously veganized my kitchen yesterday evening. At first, I had intended to go through the materials lying around on my own but I just didn't feel right doing that. Then, I figured I would distribute goods to my friends. But I realized this would be a logistical-nightmare and require repeatedly explaining to people why I'm going vegan (I get tried of explaining myself for doing something different from majority norms - I need to learn to be more patient or start doing more things that fit into majority expectations…#not). So, I decided to collect it all in two kitchen bags and leave it beside my dumpster. I live in an apartment building and I know the dumpster is frequented by a few different people - I've left food on the side before too. When I checked later, it was gone (and I looked in the dumpster too, but wasn't there). So hopefully the food found a good stomach to live in (temporarily).
So, I knowingly failed my first day. I was attending a lunch-time event today that I knew would provide vegetarian sandwiches but not vegan. I had planned ahead and made my curried chickpeas/peas/tofu last night to pack with me, but I failed to do it properly (I fixed it up this evening) and had no lunch. I arrived late to the event, so everyone had already had lunch, and I ended up (coincidentally) sitting in front of a tray of the last veggie sandwiches. While listening to an actually quite interesting talk on patenting of a business method, I had 30 minutes to debate how I felt about eating sandwiches with cream cheese spread - fun stuff, right? I decided that seeing as the sandwiches were going to be thrown away at this point, my partaking in eating them was an alright thing to do.
I'm starting to realize I may decide to be socially vegetarian while being vegan at home (or possibly a freegan). While I don't want to consume dairy particularly, I feel like I would have be able to alienate fewer people and feel less isolated if I approach it this way. It's kind of tough to deal with but presumably it fits with the fluid moral code that I'm aiming for - it's just so hard to get outside of the tendency to prefer stricter codes. What I'm thinking this will involve is not eating eggs outright or drinking milk outright but instead being okay with both being in things. I'm not really sure how exactly I want this to be, but I feel like this is where I'm heading. I kind of want to do this on a case-by-case basis rather than specific rules…but I feel like that may be too inconsistent for people? I'm not sure…
I decided to have a 'me' day. It's highly unusual for me to avoid socializing with friends, especially when the offer was to go out for food. (I was actually put off by the suggestion of going for gelato - my stomach turned thinking about dairy…I'm going through the initial phase of regret and guilt). I wasn't feeling so happy as I went home, realized I was feeling quite sad. My bra-less day in PJs was nice.
I bought a magic bullet! So today has been all about smoothies! I've had 3 and apparently drank a potentially lethal amount of bananas (something to know: do not do more than 1 banana a day because of risk of arrhythmia). I'm just so happy about this smoothie maker, I've gotten a bajillion suggestions from friends on FB about the mix & I drank 1/4 of my almond milk carton today! #calciumWTF
I fixed my curried chickpeas/peas/tofu - and by fixed I mean, got the chickpeas cooked. It's not that delicious but its edible. I will conquer cooking soon enough! I just regret making so much of this meh stuff. I'll have to eat it at least for the next few days.
I bought a pair of vegan ethical rain boots! My friend had shown me this website (http://vshoen.myshopify.com/products/retro-flower-rainboot) & its local! I got these Retro Flower ones. I have been hunting for a pair with a frog pattern on it but I realized if I got some now, I could jump in puddles & avoid wet socks.
I was super productive today! I spent most of the day in PJs after I did 2 loads of laundry, took out trash, vacuumed, and made a to-do list. I'm feeling pretty good about my day now, although I still struggle with my philosophies. And it seems that I'm getting a rep for being food-obsessed, one of my acquaintances on FB posted a vegan okonomiyaki (savoury Japanese pancake) recipe on my "Timeline." It didn't include a message, so I'm not sure what I'm being told: either a passive aggressive you eat too much or I think you would like this (I'm going to assume the latter)
I discovered the coolest summer research position today & applied! One of the law profs is researching animal law from a feminist & social justice perspective. It seems like the ideal position, but I hate to get too excited, especially because I'm likely to be the most inexperienced applicant (it's open to all years & grad law students - I'm only 1st year). I'm starting to really embrace the idea of grad school as post-law school plans, I know it fits exactly what I want to do.
Well, that's all for now. I'm judging high school debates tomorrow - should be fun! In the meantime, I'm going to sleep…
I've been eyeing the Tofurky Vegan Pizza in the freezer aisle, but I'm a bit hesitant. Do any of you recommend it (or not recommend it)? And which one?
I'm having gulab jamun cravings and while my vegan pledge doesn't start until Friday, my latest reflections on the subject make my stomach churn when I consider the "confectionization" of cow milk. I won't bother getting into the details, but essentially I need to find a vegan way of satisfying my gulab jamun cravings.
I've found two recipes:
I'm leaning towards the latter one, mostly because oats in gulab jamuns seems so odd. But, I thought I would canvass to see if people have suggestions/ideas/recommendations/want to make me some gulab jamuns?
You're welcome! And thank you, I'm glad the vegan chai recipe worked out! I was super pumped by how delicious it was and found it infinitely better than cow milk. Look forward to following your posts :)
So, I got my blood test results back from the doctor today. Turns out both my iron and vitamin B12 levels are excellent! I've been (ovo-lacto) vegetarian for 8 years and people constantly feel this need to ask about my nutrition. As a result, I get a kick out of telling them my nutrition levels are good! (Take that nosy bastards! I find it ridiculous that people who are only my acquaintances somehow think this is a good conversation topic.)
The two concerns my doctor had are my vitamin D levels are very low (need to supplement on a daily basis) and he wants me to watch my cholesterol. The latter works well in my intentions to start going vegan, eliminating sources of cholesterol from my diet. I have a family history of problems with cholesterol, so this is more of a concern. Also, I'm starting to look into buying a bike so I can get more activity & Victoria is just the ideal city for bike riding.
So, I've decided I'm going to try it out for a week. I'm going to start on 24 February 2012 and commit for a full week to start off (so until 2 March 2012). I figure this will be soon enough to capitalize on my motivation, but still give me time to plan ahead. It's also less daunting of a commitment to start off with a week.
I've been vegetarian (ovo-lacto) since I was 13 (8.5 years ago) but never tried going vegan. Although, I have at points given up either eggs or dairy but never both.
I'm going to do this with my fluid moral code in mind, recognizing that I am fallible and will probably make mistakes. I think this will help me stay motivated and not feel so bad when I fail to live up to my own expectations.
I've decided to write out my reasons, this is going to be a lengthy personal post. While writing this, it strikes me that I'm writing this more for myself to better articulate my ideas. But I appreciate it if you do read it. :)
It turns out to have been a great exercise in self-empowerment and I'm extremely happy to have done this. The last point has really hit home why I cannot give up on vegetarianism.
My reasons:
First, practically speaking my lactose intolerance is becoming unbearable (currently I'm suffering the combined efforts of yogurt and milky chai - my stomach absolutely hates me right now).
Second, I have been reminded of my ethical reasons for becoming vegetarian in the first place. I use to always tell myself that once I moved out, I could more fully embrace my ethics but now that I am living on my own, I haven't really made the effort yet. I'm decidedly against the abusive treatment of animals. It's just absolutely cruel. While more ethical animal produce may be possible, it strikes me that current meat demands would not be met without a factory-like manufacturing of animals. So even if animal produce can be ethically sourced (I haven't decided whether or not I think it can be), I think people would have to reduce how much meat they consume.
Moreover, the global meat demands and on-going food crises are both inextricably linked. The recession in 2008 led to the media generally ignoring the global food crisis but right before it a big deal was made about the growing international food crises (and it continues to be a serious problem). One of the explanatory factors is the linkage between economic growth in China and India, the resulting increased demand for meat there, and the ramifications on the global food markets. The idea is that as Indian and Chinese citizens have more financial resources, they are demanding more meat, the production of which is generally more resource-heavy than vegetables. This thesis need a bit more work, but essentially it relates to the fact that meat demands globally are too great to be met properly (sustainably and humanely). This leads to both excessively inhumane treatment of animals but also to inaccessibility of food for the globally impoverished. I'll articulate it better at a later date with more evidence to support my claims. It's a fairly complicated entanglement of colonialism, economics, and poverty.
Third, I want to make more of an effort to cook and the thought of going vegan both provides ample reason to cook more often & a new creative paradigm.
Fourth, I adore the Tumblogs with vegan #foodporn. I keep having vegan wet dreams as a result of the amazing deliciousness. I was considering giving up vegetarianism earlier this year, which I think largely had to do with a certain degree of boredom and laziness. But I feel inspired to try harder.
Fifth, the thought of eating animal flesh is really off-putting, especially after so long. I have only on 3 distinct occasions had meat cravings: first, when I first became a vegetarian, my brother and dad were eating chicken wings; second, I was hungry at lunchtime and passed someone eating some meat; third, the past few months I've been on-again-and-off-again having chicken cravings. I think I just haven't tried hard enough to make more deliciousness but a recent serving of deep-fried seitan has really shut off the chicken cravings. That and we have a new pet budgie and the thought of eating a bird is so horrible - especially as I love the budgie, even though he doesn't seem to like my singing very much (tbh, I don't blame him).
Sixth, I feel like it is a part of my identity. I have spent a good chunk of my life as a vegetarian, particularly all my life that involved making independent-choices. I also remember how many times I have stood up for what I believe in. My father called me a loser when I decided to become vegetarian (yes at 13 he said that to me) and told me I would never become a doctor because I wouldn't be able to deal with cutting people up (yes, very illogical - and little did he know, I thoroughly enjoying tearing people apart…but with words and am well on my way to doing it as a lawyer). I also was bullied in junior high over it. I remember my classmates in grade 9 saying really stupid shit to me. I recall one of them saying to me "So what do you eat? Tofu? That's nasty shit" or something equally idiotic. I've also repeatedly had to put my foot down to various family members trying to tell me what I should or should not eat (if I say I don't want to have the sauce from the butter chicken, I think you shouldn't insist on it).
I have on so many occasions refused to let someone shame or force or convince me into giving up being a vegetarian. It's almost an element of my feminist beliefs. It's been an exercise of personal choice and resistance against being told what to do with my body. I don't think I have ever fully captured this and having reached this realization has made me quite moved (I'm honestly teary-eyed, so apologies for any grammar/spelling errors that I leave here). It also helps me understand why I struggled so hard with the idea of giving up vegetarianism. My identity and sense of self is such an integral part of who I am and the more I think about it, I have worked really hard to define myself and to fight for independence. I cannot even convey in words how empowered I feel right now. It's incredible how assertive I have been and I don't think I want to ever lose this part of me, especially now that I have been able to articulate it. I'm really glad I took the time to write this down and have it here to remind me.
Edited: I realized I may not have this clear. Most of the people trying to convince me out of vegetarianism have been men (incidentally even the kids bullying me were of the outward male persuasion). So there are clear gendered hierarchies.
I also don't mean to entail anything about vegetarianism and feminism as inherently linked. It's just my personal experience and it has strengthened my convictions on both.

Insider knowledge: English Whisky Co. Chapter 11 whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from England. If distilled in America the spelling would be English Whisky Co. Chapter 11 whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
Nose: Smoky and rich, with notes of spare ribs, liquorice and soft fruit. A touch of lemon zest, notes of custard and charcoal.
Palate: Good body, with very smoky malt, as well as Latakia pipe tobacco, peat, vanilla and ginger and aniseed. Big and powerful, some chili heat late palate.
Finish: Spicy with good length, it trails off with notes of wood ash and sweetened Lapsang Souchong tea.
Had this bought for a present, and was very pleasantly surprised will be keeping a bottle in. Very good

Issues Movie Review
It's difficult to give praise to this sometimes daring first feature effort when Elder and crew fail too often to hide their amateur cracks. Poor sound editing, film editing, and lighting all mar any pluses. Bottom line, if you can't even edit a scene together properly, you need to go back to film school. Regardless of the quality of the dialogue and acting (which are spotty at best), this film should not have gone out to the public in this state.
Issues opens with its best scene: straight-laced Royce (Ben Watkins), wannabe playboy Damien (Laz Alonso), and even-keeled Will (Mailon Rivera) are playing dominoes, discussing relationships, the war in Iraq, and everything in between (including how one might cause the other). And then it's downhill from there.
Royce is dating a born-again Christian (Janora McDuffie) who won't give him any play. Meanwhile, Damien can't get enough. In the middle of this, Will is moving back east, and sets up his L.A. roomies with a new third: hot, aspiring actress Toni (Shawna Rodgers). Adding to this Three's Company scenario, Toni's friend Nicole (Barri Whittaker) is in an unhappy relationship with big time agent Carson (played by a very clean-and-sober-looking Todd Bridges), building tension between her and Damien, with whom she keeps crossing paths.
Will Royce ever get his groove on? Will Damien ever teach Nicole the value of a true man? Is this director for real casting Todd Bridges, and giving him a sex scene!? All these questions are eventually answered, mostly in a series of bits filled with hackneyed dialogue and largely mediocre performances.
The writing is simply a crime. Early on, Elder recycles an ancient "bitch vs. ho" joke and a Chris Rock bit about how "new pussy can't cook." At least, credit your source, man! Later on, he dredges up the "a good man is hard to find, but a hard man is good to find" crusty oldie. And the movie is intercut with "you get it/I'm not going to get it" doorbell scenes that would be lame even in a sitcom. The final insult comes toward the end of the film when Toni exclaims that she's just been cast as the lead in her first feature film: "It's called Issues, and it's by a hot new director!" I'm sure Elder thought that was cute, but it just comes off as desperate after watching this shoddy work.
The film's actors contribute the few saving graces of this "unromantic comedy," mainly Alonso, who plays Damien just wildly enough to give the biggest laughs of the movie. And Bridges turns in a good showing as the sleazebag hotshot from "the William Morris Agency." But the film's weakest link is definitely Rodgers, who turns in a totally wooden, unsexy performance as the supposedly hot and passionate Toni. She doesn't bring a single drop of passion to what should've been the sauciest role.
Issues may be Elder's feature debut, but there's no excuse for the glaring rookie mistakes seen here. When I first requested a copy for review, Elder warned me that this "film is a 'romantic comedy' from a male's perspective," most likely out of concern that - as a woman - I'd judge this film harshly for its blunt take on relationships. Ironically, the subject matter is the best part of Issues; it's the substandard, unprofessional filmmaking, writing, and acting that are keeping it down.

In our first two installments, we defined creeds and confessions (Part 1) and we attempted to offer a biblical basis for their use (Part 2). In those post, we attempt to respond to various objections that are commonly raised by those who oppose the use of creeds or confessions.
Confessions undermine the authority of Scripture.
This can and does happen. For instance, the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church extend the claim of infallibility to several of their creeds, elevating the authority of their creeds to a place equal with Scripture.1 The problem is not with creeds per se, but with the church's attitude towards the creeds. If we venerate our confession of faith and assign to it coordinate authority with Scripture, we have a problem. But the problem is not the creed. The problem is our attitude towards the creed!
We've already stated that a creed is merely an extension of ecclesiastical, and therefore, of human authority (see Part 1). As a result, all creeds—except those found in Scripture—must be viewed as expressions of human authority subordinate to Scripture. Our own Confession of Faith, 1.10, articulates this viewpoint:
The supreme judge, by which all controversies of religion are to be determined, and all decrees of councils, opinions of ancient writers, doctrines of men, and private spirits are to be examined, and in whose sentence we are to rest, can be no other but the Holy Scripture delivered by the Spirit, into which Scripture so delivered, our faith is finally resolved.
We need to take the teaching of this paragraph seriously, especially with respect to the Confession itself. Even though our Puritan traditions are much more biblical than those of the Pharisees or those of the Pope, we must resist the temptation to elevate them to a level equal with Scripture. One way we can fall into this pitfall is when Reformed pastors and theologians become more concerned with what "Rabbi Calvin" or "Rabbi Owen" or "Rabbi Spurgeon" say on a given matter, than with what Moses, Jesus, or Paul have to say. We must beware of this pitfall. We must view our Reformed Confession as our guide not as our ultimate master. Calvin, Owen, Spurgeon, and the framers of our own Confession would urge us to make the Scripture alone our highest authority.2
Confessions contradict the sufficiency of Scripture.
Does not Paul assure Timothy that Scripture is sufficient to equip him for "every good work" (2Tim. 3:16-17)? If this is so, then why do we need confessions?
This objection misunderstands the nature of Scripture's sufficiency. When we say that the Bible is sufficient as a rule of faith, we do not mean to exclude the need for a written confession of faith. As Sam Waldron explains, "The Scripture was not given to be a complete catalog of all the sermons the church would ever need. It is not sufficient for that, and in the same way it is not sufficient to serve the church as a confession of faith."3
Perhaps the best way to view the nature of Scripture's sufficiency is to view the Bible as the foundation upon which the super-structure of Christian doctrine and practice is built. As a foundation for our faith the Bible alone is sufficient. Yet, like a foundation, the Bible was never intended to stand alone. In this regard we may also compare the sufficiency of Scripture with the sufficiency of saving faith. Faith alone is sufficient for the sinner's justification. But justifying faith was never intended to stand alone but to be accompanied by good works. Similarly, Scripture, though sufficient as our ultimate authority and standard of faith, always calls for a human response of interpretation and commitment, which is precisely the nature of a Confession.
Confessions intrude upon liberty of conscience.
When creeds exceed the bounds of Scripture, then liberty of conscience may be infringed upon. Our own Confession, 21.2, warns against this danger:
God alone is Lord of the conscience, and hath left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men which are in anything contrary to his Word, or not contained in it. So that to believe such doctrines, or obey such commands out of conscience, is to betray true liberty of conscience; and the requiring of an implicit faith, an absolute and blind obedience, is to destroy liberty of conscience and reason also.
Certainly, we must be careful that our creed does not "add" to Scripture (Deut. 4:2; Rev. 22:18). Furthermore, we must beware of requiring premature or strict word-for-word agreement with the Confession. We should give each conscience a sufficient amount of time to be instructed and an appropriate degree of latitude with respect to the actual wording of the confession and some of the non-essential doctrines of the Confession–especially when the confession in view is, as in the case of the WCF or the 1689 LBC, relatively detailed and extensive.4
If the creed or confession of faith is an accurate guide to what the Bible teaches, however, it cannot in principle be viewed as an intrusion upon our liberty of conscience. Our minds have been freed from the shackles of sin, so that they might freely embrace God's truth, not reject it.5 In fact, according to Scripture, the rejection of biblical truth is actually an indication of a bad conscience (1 Tim. 1:19-20; 2:17-18). As one writer has wisely observed, "Men are seldom opposed to creeds, until creeds have become opposed to them."6 Consequently, the rejection of a creed may not reveal a problem with the creed. It might reveal a problem with the heart. Of course, it's also possible that a man isn't opposed to creeds or confessions per se but to some particular article or articles within the creed or confession. In that case, the brother should be honest about his conflict of conscience, and the church must decide whether his caveat is significant or substantial enough to disqualify him from serving as a pastor of that particular church.
In conclusion, a public confession of biblical truth in the form of a creed need not in principle undermine the authority of God's Word, contradict the sufficiency of Scripture, or infringe upon liberty of conscience. In our next installment, we'll consider the usefulness of confessions.

- Reformed Christians should be concerned when Reformed seminaries and journals give place a higher emphasis upon historical theology, than upon exegesis and biblical theology. The Reformed theologian John Frame has written a helpful article entitled, "Traditionalism," in which he cautions against a Reformed version of traditionalism (http://www.frame-poythress.org/frame_articles/1999Traditionalism.htm; accessed March 2002).

- From an unpublished lecture entitled, "Why Should the Church Hold to a Confession of Faith?" [↩]
- I presently advocate a two-level subscription in the local church. I think the church should expect a full subscription that allows for a limited number of qualifications or exceptions for elders where any qualifications made or exceptions taken to the language or doctrines are stated honestly and upfront. This may also be called "substantial subscription." I advocate a looser subscription for members that would entail affirming those doctrines deemed essential for the credibility of one's profession of faith and a teachable (non-divisive) spirit. I'll attempt to elaborate on this position and provide a biblical rationale in a later post. [↩]

Can Do
I have got to see this documentary:
The Pervert's Guide works best when Zizek treads lightly and moves nimbly, engaging in capsule analyses that offer opportunities for quasi-desultory philosophical speculation. Of David Fincher's Fight Club (1999), he wonders in regard to Edward Norton's self-flagellation if "in order to attack the enemy you first have to beat the shit out of yourself." And with respect to Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation (1974), which Zizek discusses at some length while sitting, fully clothed, on a toilet, contemplating the flushing mechanism, he ponders the notion that "the eye is the window to the soul," asking: "But what if there is no soul? What if the eye is simply a window to the abyss of the netherworld?" At any given screening, half of those in attendance are likely to lean forward, trying to figure out where they stand on such conjectures, while the rest are likely to lean back, trying to figure out what Zizek is doing on the can.
Plenty more at N+1. I got a screener of Astra Taylor's documentary ages ago, but does anyone think to send a copy of this one? No, they do not.
To repeat something I've said before: It is time for someone to create the Zizek Movie Data Base. We have The Legend of Rita, a fictional film based on the Baader-Meinhof gang, arriving via Netflix in the next couple of days, and I have to think Zizek must have written about it somewhere. With ZMDB, it would be easy to find out.
Seriously, this seems like a good project for an honor's thesis in film and new media. Somebody should run with it.

Although I am about to finish law school (only about 9 weeks left!), I am about to participate in my first mock trial today. This is something I've managed to avoid, even though TU offers tons of opportunities for trial practice including classes, clubs, and competitions. It's not like I couldn't have done this a lot sooner, as most of my classmates have. I just chose to avoid it. Today's mock trial is part of my Advanced Torts class. I like torts and I am enjoying the class. It's very interactive and the professor loves to create an atmosphere of conversation. He's also an excellent trial attorney and he is sharing lots of insight with us on trial practice strategies. But I'm nervous. I don't really like speaking in front of people, especially if I'm trying to be persuasive. I guess it's a good thing I don't plan to go into litigation!

I am currently in the process of being approved to take the Oklahoma bar exam in July. As part of the application, the National Conference of Bar Examiners does a thorough check of every applicant's whole life. The application itself is long and demanding, asking for information on all kinds of stuff, like past employers (for the last 10 years), past addresses (which was a challenge for me since I've had over 20 addresses since age 18), and many other personal details. The NCBE gives law students the option to start this whole process during their 1L year – which I highly recommend, but did not do myself.

There is a saying around law school: first year they scare you to death, second year they work you to death, and third year they bore you to death.

If you are considering law school, I want to encourage you right now to adopt the right attitude so that when you are here, you will have the most success possible. After all, you will be paying a lot of money for a great educational experience and you likely want to make it a worthwhile venture, right?
I would say that attitude is a HUGE part of that.
Start now towards a positive attitude and be the law student who takes advantage of all that the school has to offer. That includes classes – I've said it before on this blog and I'll likely say it again… Go to class.

Earlier this month, TU Law hosted the twelfth annual legal symposium with Tulsa Law Review here at the university. I was fortunate to be a part of the process to bring guest speakers in from all over the country to speak about the timely subject of health law. The symposium featured the legal scholarship of Professor Einer Elhauge from Harvard University, and several panelists speaking on his work. Elhauge recently published Obamacare on Trial, and speaks and teaches on the subject of health law and bioethics at Harvard. The other speakers came from other law schools such as Berkeley, Duke, and the University of Arizona.

Our ambassador year is coming to a close, and this is my final blog entry for the semester. But that doesn't mean that we are all gearing up for a summer off around here. Being in law school does not include a summer vacation. Even for the 3Ls, they have a summer's worth of studying for the bar exam coming up. For me and other 2Ls, we have a chance to work for a law firm, or take classes, or complete an internship. These things often take more hours out of a day than regular school year class hours. So, although classes will be ending soon, the workload continues.

You may have heard this already, but it bears repeating. One of the most important goals of your legal education should be to improve your legal writing skills.
I came to law school feeling fairly confident in my writing abilities. I have always enjoyed writing and I had the benefit of learning from excellent writing professors and teachers throughout my education. I have even been told that I am a good writer. Ok, that was mostly from my mom. But when I started law school, I discovered that I was not as prepared as I thought I was.

Last Friday, I had the opportunity to attend the investiture of the newest U.S. District Court judge for the Northern District of Oklahoma. The official 'investing' of authority for Judge John Dowdell was a full house event – all three district courtrooms in the federal building were standing room only (I was one of the standers). The new judge was sworn in, and he promised to preserve, protect, and uphold the Constitution of the United States.

Nmap Announce
mailing list archives
I kinda started this thread when I mentioned that it appeared I knocked down
a couple of machines w/nmap. I posted a summary of my findings a few days ago,
but in a nutshell, I applied a patch, turned off a few services in inetd,
and changed my nmap options FROM/TO:
FROM: -p "list-of-ports" --initial_rtt_timeout 300 --host_timeout 5000
TO: -p "list of ports" --initial_rtt_timeout 500 --host_timeout 15000 -sT
Note that I'm doing this because I prefer my web interface to return
the results PDQ which is more important to me than total completeness.
My guess would be some half-open connections were left open because of
the agressive timeouts and that confused a few machines. There were a
few people that wrote to me saying nmap had clobbered a few "weak" IP
stacks - one person said they had to buy lots of beer to make up for it! ;-)
I'm in no way "disparaging" nmap (GREAT tool!) ... just letting folks
know my experiences. Since I've done the things above, I've hammered the
crap out of a few dozen Solaris & HP-UX hosts and have had no problems.

Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured.

You don't pay for tutoring
unless you find a good fit!
Leslie C. passed a background check on 1/20/14. The check was ordered by another user through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to Leslie, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.
Leslie C. is a terrific tutor, someone I would definitely recommend. Besides being highly competent, she is quick to respond and is very flexible around schedules. My son has never needed a tutor before, always the top student in his math and science classes. Last year he did not have the best teacher for AP Pre-Calc/Trig and he wound up teaching himself most of the time. He wound up getting the award for Top Student in the Class. This year in AP Calc, he got a 90 his first marking period but told us he was having a much rougher time as he had a very tough teacher and he felt he was not as prepared for it given the teacher he had last year. This teacher only gives 3 tests a marking period. On his first test of the second marking period Alex felt he had made some careless mistakes. On his second test he felt he was well prepared but when he started the test, realized he was in trouble. He wound up getting the same grade. That is when we hired Leslie. She immediately identified why he was having problems. The main thing was that this type of Math could not be handled the way he has been able to in the past, teaching himself the night before the test. She showed him how he must continuously work with the problems to make sure he fully understands or else he would freeze up on the tests. The teacher does not give partial credit on wrong answers so if he does one thing wrong, he gets no credit. He aced the next test. He also got the second highest grade in the class on the Midterm. He had a lesson with Leslie at the start of the new marking period/next chapter. Just to show you how she did, the following week he wound up correcting the teacher on a mistake that he made on the blackboard when he was going over the work. I highly recommend Leslie as a tutor. She is patient, easy to deal with and earned the respect of my son, which is not that easy.
Leslie has already helped my daughter improve her grade in prealgebra by two letter grades. Right from the start she has been very easy to work with, from answering emails and phone calls quickly to being flexible with scheduling. She is very patient and explains problems in simple terms making it easier for my daughter to understand and she always gives her an opportunity to ask questions. I highly recommend Leslie as a tutor!
Leslie is the tutor we were looking for: she has great interpersonal skills, she is patient, she makes math easy to understand, she is flexible when it comes to scheduling lessons. I can't believe how fast my daughter improved her math skills just after the first couple of sessions: her grades went up to 85-95.
Excellent teacher, very professional, always reachable, easy to adjust to schedules. I'm very happy of services provided to my son. I would definitely recommend.
I can't say enough good things about Leslie. Having been out of school for awhile, I was faced with a Statistics class (graduate level) that, during my undergrad days, required the assistance of a tutor in order for me to pass. Well, Leslie not only helped me pass this particular Stat class, she helped me Ace the class. She presented the material in a way that allowed me to better understand the concepts / calculations, and she was very patient with me and worked with me at my own pace. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Leslie!
Leslie is an excellent tutor. She is very knowledgeable of all math subjects and breaks down the material to simplify the problems. Out of all the math tutors on this website, she is by far the best. She is easy to get a hold of, very flexible with her schedule, very friendly and more than willing to help you in the subject that you are working on. You will be more than happy with your decision if you chose her for your tutor!

Op-ed: Climate-change solution starts at home
We are running out of time. The most recent assessment from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change makes it clear that we have only a few decades left to completely stop burning coal, oil, and natural gas, if we want to avoid the worst consequences of climate change. Most of us would like to leave the earth a better place than we found it, but don't know how to help.
Fortunately, the first steps are easy. It starts with the efficiency of our homes and buildings. These are responsible for the biggest share of our total emissions, and there is huge room for improvement.
At The McGillis School, we have worked to minimize our footprint. We generate part of our electricity with a solar array, paid for by Rocky Mountain Power's Blue Sky Program. Our students help track the building's electricity use as part of our Sustainable Pathways curriculum, and we are the first LEED Gold school building in Utah. Given all that, we assumed that our possible improvements would be small. We could not have been more wrong.
A few years ago we experienced an unexplained period of very high electricity bills. The only troubleshooting tool we had to solve this was the electric meter. Despite visits from our mechanical contractor, we were unable to figure out where we were using the excess power.
We finally purchased an electricity monitoring system from Creative Energies. This system allows us to track the electricity use of the whole building and at each of the 12 circuit breaker boxes within the building. With that information, it quickly became clear that the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system (HVAC) was the place to look for issues.
We hired a building efficiency engineer from CCI Mechanical to do a complete tuneup, known as "retrocommissioning," of our HVAC systems, even though the machinery is only four years old. Today's building control systems are much more complex than a simple thermostat, with hundreds of possible adjustments. Programming errors or mechanical failures such as a stuck valve often don't lead to any noticeable change in the building temperature. They just show up in the bills. Most of us simply pay the bills without question.
After the retrocommissioning, both our electricity and natural gas use have dropped by half. We are saving $20,000 a year, and all of our costs for the monitoring system and the HVAC work will be paid for in savings in less than a year. Most importantly, we are significantly reducing our impact on the environment.
Most buildings have issues like these that go unnoticed. Older buildings with aging equipment can have even more potential savings.
Our homes have just as many opportunities for savings. As an example, LED light bulbs seem expensive at $12 each, but they typically pay for themselves in electricity savings in less than three years. The best way to optimize a home is to pay for a home energy audit, which will find the most cost effective steps.
Improving the energy efficiency of homes and buildings is not only easy, it's profitable. Even those who are still skeptical about the science behind climate change can be persuaded by simple economics.
The next steps after this will be more difficult, but we have done harder things before. We will need to cut our use of fossil fuels not by half, but to zero. Fortunately, we already have all the technology and the resources we need to do this cost-effectively.
Tom Moyer is a mechanical engineer with HDT robotics and a science teacher at the McGillis School.

October 24, 2014
Quarterback Nick Johns is the third player to commit to Virginia's recruiting class of 2015.
Johns announced his verbal commitment to the Cavaliers on Tuesday morning on Twitter, choosing UVa over NC State and Maryland. Johns, from Gonzaga High School in Washington, DC, is regarded as a consensus three-star prospect by the major recruiting sites.
Johns joins Altavista High School safety Juan Thornhill and Pennsylvania offensive lineman Ryan Bischoff as players committed to UVa's class of 2015.
Johns picked the Cavaliers despite an already-crowded depth chart at the quarterback position. On Monday it was announced that rising sophomore Greyson Lambert will enter camp as the team's No. 1 quarterback. Last year's starter, rising junior David Watford, and sophomore Matt Johns (no relation to Nick) are listed as the co-No. 2 quarterbacks.
Fork Union's Corwin Cutler will join the quarterback competition at UVa camp this summer.

Terrible Troubles
This issue has been around for a very long time. I reported this to Apple at least as long ago as last fall or summer. I have received no response from them either. It has been very upsetting while working with a laptop. I have had serious crashes (file system corruption) a couple of times due to this as restart just won't complete once this mistake has been started.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We love Vieja Valley and have sent all three of our children through this school. There is something to be said about a small school and the intimacy, and sense of community that comes with this. It is set in a charming neighborhood that has big trees, grassy fields and horses meandering by. How many schools get this type of setting? it is charming to say the least. The teachers are committed. My children love their experience at the school, look forward to going and truly happy about their learning. My husband and I both have graduate degrees, and prioritize education. Our children are the top of their class, and my son was recently accepted to the 'Apple Program' at San Marcos High School. (This is an accelerated academic program for leadership and enrichment) It is considered one of the most competitive programs in our county. I thank Vieja Valley teachers for preparing the academic fundamentals, instilling higher level thinking, and creating a lifelong love of learning from the beginning years. The parent community is involved and welcoming. We are sad that this chapter has come to a close.
As an active and involved parent with two kids at Vieja Valley, I have been very happy with the teachers, the parental involvement, the curriculum, and the diversity. This is in no way a "rich kids" school as one review states but a rather balanced school with a majority of middle class families and an otherwise healthy mix of low and high income families. I spend time in the classrooms weekly and have been very happy with the teachers' class management and attention paid to all students. I've had one interaction with the principal and she was very responsive and helped solve a student problem quickly and efficiently. The school offers computer, music, and art classes, a nice library, and beautiful grounds with large outdoor play areas. Both my kids and I are happy here.
I am a single mom of 2 at this school. It used to be a top school in Santa Barbara with great teachers and staff. We have been so let down with the academics and now having to supplement with tutors and private art lessons. I hope this school turns around and changes up the divided staff but for now I am sadly choosing to leave schools for my boys. I've heard some of the teachers complain and are unhappy, but are unable to transfer schools. I would look at some other Santa Barbara schools that choose to challenge the above average child instead of focusing all their money and efforts on the ESL kids. The best thing about this school is the location and charm.
This used to be a great school, but I have had some unsatisfactory educational experiences for my child. I know funding had been cut in all schools but it seems like the teachings is at a grade to two behind. The classrooms are not as respectful or organized as I remember, with children threatening others and back talking to the teacher. Not to mention that many of the supportive PTA families have left, so the PTA after school programs had been eliminated. Also, my child has an incident where the playground equipment fell apart and hit him on the head!
We left this school because the teachers (most) just follow a curriculum that does not allow each child to be taught at their level. In fact, a large part of the curriculum is "dumbed down" for the lower levels. Even though we live in the district; we would not send our child to this school - but, don't take my word; spend quality time in the classroom and see for yourself. Sad because so many bright students are actually "left behind".
Our son transferred from home-school and completed 5th & 6th at this school. Everyone, kids, teachers, staff, parents, warmly welcomed us and made this difficult transition easy. Parents are active in classrooms, field trips, and PTA. PTA supports PE, Art, Music and Computer classes, and there are also after school enrichment activities such as foreign language, dance, flag football, many more. New principal this year has been responsive to our requests. GATE program is a one day/week pull-out (wish it was more).
With all of the economic turmoil as of late, this school is amazing. Programs continue, kids are still The staff loves each other so much and it filters into the students. My daughter is going to graduate this year and has had a great time with classwork, homework levels, expectations and fun activities. The principal is extremely kind and supportive of both parents and staff. Wouldn't want my kids to go anywhere else. I would question the last 'rater' - what problem was happening? Was it just that they didn't get the 'exact' teacher they had hoped for? What problems? The principal is fair and addresses things quickly. Many parents insist at the school and don't teach their kids how to adjust to different (teacher) personalities. Interesting...
This school rates high academically and has a gorgeous large field by the playground, surrounded by trees and forest. The classrooms are nice, with big windows, and afterschool classes such as cheerleading or art are offered. Parents are very involved, and the PTA sponsors music, art, and computer classes during the school day. There are only two downsides. The typical student at this school lives in a $5 million home and has 3 different game systems. This makes your child feel discontent if he lives in a normal house and has a normal amount of toys. Secondly, this school will not let you change teachers if there is a problem. Because the principal would not let us change teachers, we had to change schools, and this was very disruptive to my son's life.
Our daughter has attended K-2nd with great results. The teachers are caring, the staff friendly, and the academic progress has exceeded our expectations. The PTA is responsible for several after school programs for music and art and many parents are involved in raising funds.
This is a great school. They have art, music and P.E classes. Parents can choose to help around the class or field trips. I think the school's teachers are great and my kids learned a lot.
Vieja students are exposed to a multitude of extra-curricular activities, both optional and mandatory. The kids have school singing performances twice a year and functions for each Holiday. There are also music, art, sports, dance, crafts and educational programs available after hours. The class sizes are small and parent interaction is welcomed and encouraged. The school's setting is bucolic, nestled up against a hillside with lots of trees. Driving up to the school feels like coming home. The morning drop-off is like a homecoming of sorts with lots of parental mingling. Volunteers are the engine that drive a school and Vieja has no shortage of interested, active and well-meaning parents to fill the gap that budget constraints have left on administration. I am proud to have my son attend Vieja and I believe he already (first grade) feels a part of something larger than himself.

Many auto owners go through the same vehicle woes that force them to take a car to a mechanic for them to improve the performance of the vehicle. Although repairs are a part of life if a consumer has a car, one part of the car makes owners cringe when it needs to be replaced: the transmission.
Mechanics often state that if a car needs a new transmission, it might be more cost effective to purchase another vehicle, but if the transmission doesn't need to be completely replaced, auto owners should make sure they receive two opinions on what needs to be done to their vehicle.
The transmission includes the gears, shafts and other related parts that transmits power from the engine to the wheels. An automatic transmission makes sure the power delivered to the wheels keeps the engine running at a specific revolutions per minute.
Auto owners who are looking to go to a mechanic to have their transmission repaired should be cautious of repairmen taking advantage of them to increase their profit.

Thanks again, for all the advice--it's nice to have the bene- fit of military minds when seeking advice about arms/ammo!

The good part was that it made complete sense.
