Skip to comments.The Tone Deaf Singer
Posted on 05/28/2014 6:41:33 AM PDT by Gamecock
The prosperity gospel has not produced a new generation of great Christian hymns. Neither have Positive Thinking or Progressive Christianity. There is a reason we would not expect them to. The fact is, the deepest songs come from the deepest truth. The most faithful songs come from the most faithful expressions of the Christian faith. The richest songs come from the richest understanding of who God is and what God has done.
As Christians we are told to sing from the gospel, for one another, to the Lorda ten-word summary of Colossians 3:16 which says, Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. As Paul writes to this Colossian church, he wants them to realize that every Christian needs singing lessons. If we want to sing a song that glorifies the Lord, we first need to apply some lessons.
The first lesson is this: The gospel must be the basis of your song. Before you can sing a song that glorifies God, the word of Christthe gospelneeds to be dwelling within you. Paul has just said: And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. That is a glorious message, and one worth singing about. There is, quite literally, nothing better than this in the entire universe. You will never hear a better, richer, sweeter message. If you want to sing a God-glorifying song, you first need to have that rich, sweet message dwelling within you.
The second lesson is this: The gospel needs to dwell richly within you. It is not enough to let the gospel dwell within. Before you can singreally singyou need to have that gospel dwelling richly within. To dwell in you richly, a message must be rich. You cant fill yourself with a shallow, trite, silly message and expect that it will dwell richly. And this is exactly why the prosperity gospel has not produced the next generation of great hymns of the Christian faith. This is why we dont look to churches dominated by positive thinking for rich, gospel-centered songs. Where there is a shallow and unbiblical message, there must also be shallow and unbiblical songs. Conversely, a rich message generates rich dwelling, and that rich dwelling generates rich contemplation, and that rich contemplation generates rich songs.
As we sing to God, we proclaim who he is, what he has done, and what he requires of us. We also cry out to him in supplication, asking him for those things that he delights to his people. If this is true, it is a call to substance in our songs. We have thousands of great songs at our disposal, so why would we waste our time with songs that dont say much at all? The richer our understanding of God, the richer the expressions of praise and the richer and bolder the requests we can make in our song. If we know God only as the one who dispenses riches, our songs will ask for nothing more than wealth. If we know God only as weak and barely holy, our songs will tell of a too-small God, a God unworthy of our worship. But if we know God as he is and if we know what he has accomplished through his Son, our songs will be full of rich, sweet truth.
We sing best when that gospel is dwelling richly within us. God is not looking at the quality of our tone or the perfection of our pitch. He is looking at the heart. Tone and pitch matter, but when you stand with the congregation and sing to the Lord, it is your heart that is far more significant. You can be utterly tone deaf and sing beautiful music in the ear of God when the gospel is dwelling richly within and when you are singing to exult in the Savior.
This author needs to get out more...
The Gettys do not fall under that umbrella.
Oh, I don't know. Most people enjoy singing the same phrase 800 times with their hands in the air. And, heck, if people like it, it's got to be good.
Never understood the Prosperity Gospel thing. Even though the Gospel exhorts: Blessed are the poor in spirit, I don't believe God wants me to live in squalor. If one is blessed with material wealth, I believe one has an obligation to be very charitable. I could be wrong, but the little I have read on Prosperity Gospel is if one has a positive attitude one's energy will attract riches and blessings (material and spiritual). But, my question is where does one go from here? As we all know, money changes people. Is there any exhortation to beware of this negative change that happens in many people when they acquire wealth?
Southern Baptists used to do it with "Just as I am".
Spent last night at the hospital with my wife who had cervical fusion surgery. She got more sleep than i did. A little punch drunk today.
Check songwriters like Daniel Nahmod.
Which isn't so.
"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me..."
"Would he devote that sacred head for such a worm as I?"
The above are powerful lyrics from two different classic hymns that acknowledge a basic Biblical truth. That truth is that man is inherently sinful and needs a savior. That truth is the basic truth that, I believe, marks a basic dividing line between liberals and conservatives.
Liberals live in a fantasy land where men are basically good. They continue to sing "Where have all the flowers gone" and wonder why we can't all get along and coexist. Utopia is possible, they think, if only the right smart people take charge.
This is a good summary by Tim Challies. Pay attention to the lyrics in the songs you sing...and that includes all the songs you listen to and sing. If you are a Christian, your worship does not end on Sunday. All things should be done in the name of Christ.
Do tell.
Challies is no doubt very familiar with the Gettys. His comments regard a less doctrine-based brand of contemporary Christianity.
Upstream gov_bean_counter mentioned the Gettys, who actually write hymns.
Love this:
In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save.
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied;
For ev'ry sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live.
(From In Christ Alone)
Please accept my prayers offered to God for a speedy and complete recovery.
Thank you. She is doing well.
***Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me...
Would he devote that sacred head for such a worm as I?***
You know those two have been changed in a lot of feel good hymnals?
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved and set me
Would He devote that sacred head, for such a one as I.
Appropriately corrected. Thank you.
The best hymns are based on solid theological content, not feel-good emotionalism. I cringe every time I open the paperback "new" songbook, wondering what sort of awfulness might be imminent. Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised.
The prosperity gospel is mostly devoid of solid theological content, so its music is going to be the same.
"Broad is the road that leads to death,
And thousands walk together there.
But, wisdom shows a narrow path,
With here and there a traveler. "
Doubt that you find that in today's hymnals, but it is in all the 19th century shape note books.
If I were to be put in charge of editing our Methodist hymnal, I would first throw out the musically and theologically insipid hymns and gospel songs—which seems to be most of the stuff written after 1939. They would be replaced by some of the great but forgotten hymns and gospel songs by the great hymn writers of the Methodist faith such as Lelia Morris, Charles Gabriel and William Kirkpatrick as well as evangelical Protestants such as Ira Sankey, Daniel Webster Whittle and P. P. Bliss. It's a shame that the current Methodist hymnal does not contain a single hymn by Lelia Morris, one of the greatest Christian hymn writers.
But it wouldn't just be a book of "oldies." Newer hymns of good quality such as "Because He Lives" by Bill and Gloria Gaither (1971) that are already in the book would be allowed to stay, and Randall Wallace's "Mansions of the Lord" (2002) would be added.
An early 90s hymn which has almost become a classic is Stuart Townwend's How Deep the Father's Love For Us.
(The gospel of success) is a Christian religious doctrine that financial blessing is the will of God for Christians...
I have never, ever, ever heard that before.
Can you put a name to the person who
thought THAT one up found THAT in Scripture or Apostolic Tradition?
Is there a particular denomination of Protestants who believe in that? It sure isn't doctrine/dogma of the Catholic Church.
I thought that I had heard everything but ya got me on that one!
I don't know which denomination or independent church preaches this today, but it's been around awhile. There was a female minister in La Jolla, CA, back in the 1980s whose motto was "Prosperity is your Divine Right".
Of course, she flew high and then crashed and burned, due to financial scandal and whatnot. I think she has not been heard from in a long while.
Hmmm, very interesting.
It reminds me of ole Doctor EEEUUUUUGENE SCOTT who harangued at his listeners to send him their "filthy lucre."
Remember him? He wore a different hat every day and smoked a ceeeegar.
We never saw his wife except from the rear. She was wearing about 5 inch spike backless high heels. She had GORGEOUS long black hair and was always wearing a full length ERMINE coat. Fabulous coat.
ANYWAY HE died and I understand that SHE has taken up the cause.
I guess she now wants another light colored full length coat from some other poor creature.
Sable would be out since it wouldn't show off her hair.
Hmmm, what other beautifully LIGHT-furred rodent is there?

Think back, if you will, to this past summer.
Imagine had someone approached you and said, "What if I told you the Indianapolis Colts would win 11 games, advance to the playoffs, but lose in a hostile environment in the opening round."
You would take it, right? Without hesitation, right? You would have to possess a dented soda can for a brain not to after last season's 2-14 disaster. Right?
The 2012 Colts will forever be remembered — and revered — for their ability to alter our thinking for the better. A 17-game tap on the shoulder that human well-being is and always will be more important than divisional standings or, worse, how our fantasy football teams might be faring.

First, an excellent plugin.
Using v.1.1.2 on local install.
One tiny problem.
When using the shortcode [reaction_buttons] in a post the plugin delivers as intended but the words "reaction buttons" are added to the post title when the page is refreshed ?
So if the post title is "The News Today" it becomes "The News Today reaction buttons"
Is this intentional ? Can these words be removed from the title ?

The Fallby D. Nurkse
View All Available Formats & Editions
a young marriage. From the drenched lawns of suburbia to the streets of Brooklyn, he delivers up the small but crucial epiphanies that propel an American coming-of-age and chronicles the development of a tender yet exacting consciousness. As the diversions of childhood
In this elegant collection, D. Nurkse elegizes a lost father, a foreshortened childhood, and
a young marriage. From the drenched lawns of suburbia to the streets of Brooklyn, he delivers up the small but crucial epiphanies that propel an American coming-of-age and chronicles the development of a tender yet exacting consciousness. As the diversions of childhood prefigure the heartbreak of adulthood, Nurkse captures the exquisite sadness of each small "fall" that carries us further from our early innocence. In the book's final section, the poet turns to face mortality with a series of stirring poems about illness in midlife. Throughout, Nurkse celebrates the sheer strangeness of our perceptions in a language that is both astute and surpassingly lyrical.
From the Hardcover edition.
Editorial Reviews
–Time Out New York
"D. Nurkse's The Fall features three highly personal sequences of poems concerning death, love, and illness. Their drama and the universality of their themes draw us in . . . The Fall–mystical, mesmerizing, elegant–is a cat's eye of a collection."
–Bill Christophersen, Poetry
"D. Nurkse, despite his modesty, seems to be weaving poetry's various movements towards a cohesive zenith, which takes him beyond characterization. He may be a contemporary poet, but his words will live beyond him."
–Anne Hamilton, Memphis Commercial Appeal
"A collection of exquisitely-shaped poems highlighted by the poet's gift for delicate yet piercing epiphanies."
–Dennis Loy Johnson, Athens Banner-Herald
"Nurkse's style is simple, almost conversational, yet underneath the words, the reader senses great emotion."

Read an Excerpt
Red-And-Silver Schwinn
I would never learn.
She would never love me.
When I wriggled on that cruel seat
a blind force--perhaps hope--
smashed me into the sprinkler system.
Even when I wheeled it,
the bike jack-knifed.
It seemed the fall
was planned within me.
Polite with rage
I refused trainer wheels.
I carried the frame tenderly
over newly sodded lawns.
Once it was my burden
there was nowhere we could not go.
I trained a magnifying glass
on the ant with the crumb
and he stepped away
from the pool of light.
I held the beam
wherever he was going.
At once he shriveled
to a tiny black line
whose ends rose slowly
to meet each other.
I aimed at my hand
and sensed that fire
infinitely distant, close,
then inside me:
when I dropped the lens
I felt no comfort
and called my father's name.
A bell tolled six times
on an island in the fog
and my father turned toward it.
Angelus or a signal?
Where the reefs must be,
a buoy chimed at random.
How to row toward a voice
once it has fallen silent?
He listened tight-lipped:
bitterns, gagging laughter,
slap and hiss of Castine,
creaking oars, my crying.
A white hand cupped us
so we faced each other
entirely inside the mind.
Then he began stroking powerfully,
a vein swelled on his forehead,
his blue knuckles rose like pistons,
even I could sense us circle
under the spell of his right arm,
and he lost himself counting
in his exile's language--
twenty, a thousand, as if our home
lay beyond those enormousnumbers.

The only time I've ever measured ahead was when I was pregnant with my twins, otherwise I've always measured spot on for the week I was on & my babies are always on the small side. This time I've consistently measured 2 weeks ahead since around 20 weeks pregnant - so it has me curious. It could simply be how I'm carrying him, or how he has himself positioned although he has gone from head up to transverse to head down & still I measure 2wks ahead, sometimes 2wks & a few days ahead.
Has anyone measured ahead for one pregnancy & not the other & did your baby come out bigger, smaller, same as your others? I'm kinda wondering if I might actually have a baby that's bigger than 5 or 6lbs this time lol

This is the first in a multi-part series of posts looking at if large enterprise and legacy storage systems are dead, along with what todays EMC VMAX 10K updates means.
EMC has announced an upgrade, refresh or new version of their previously announced Virtual matrix (VMAX) 10,000 (10K), part of the VMAX family of enterprise class storage systems formerly known as DMX (Direct Matrix) and Symmetrix. I will get back to more coverage on the VMAX 10K and other EMC enhancements in a few moments in part two and three of this series.
Have you heard the industry myth about the demise or outright death of traditional storage systems? This has been particularly the case for high-end enterprise class systems, which by the way which were first, declared dead back in the mid-1990s then at the hands of emerging mid-range storage systems.
Enterprise class storage systems include EMC VMAX, Fujitsu Eternus DX8700, HDS, HP XP P9000 based on the HDS high-end product (OEM from HDS parent Hitachi Ltd.). Note that some HPers or their fans might argue that the P10000 (formerly known as 3PAR) declared as tier 1.5 should also be on the list; I will leave that up to you to decide.
Let us not forget the IBM DS8000 series (whose predecessors was known as the ESS and VSS before that); although some IBMers will tell you that XIV should also be in this list. High-end enterprise class storage systems such as those mentioned above are not alone in being declared dead at the hands of new all solid-state devices (SSD) and their startup vendors, or mixed and hybrid-based solutions.
Some are even declaring dead due to new SSD appliances or systems, and by storage hypervisor or virtual storage array (VSA) the traditional mid-range storage systems that were supposed to have killed off the enterprise systems a decade ago (hmm, DejaVu?).
The mid-range storage systems include among others block (SAN and DAS) and file (NAS) systems from Data Direct Networks (DDN), Dell Complement, EqualLogic and MD series (Netapp Engenio based), EMC VNX and Isilon, Fujitsu Eternus, and HDS HUS mid-range formerly known as AMS. Let us not forget about HP 3PAR or P2000 (DotHill based) or P6000 (EVA which is probably being put out to rest). Then there are the various IBM products (their own and what they OEM from others), NEC, NetApp (FAS and Engenio), Oracle and Starboard (formerly known as Reldata). Note that there are many startups that could be in the above list as well if they were not considering the above to be considered dead, thus causing themselves to also be extinct as well, how ironic ;).
What are some industry trends that I am seeing?
- Some vendors and products might be nearing the ends of their useful lives
- Some vendors, their products and portfolios continue to evolve and expand
- Some vendors and their products are moving into new or adjacent markets
- Some vendors are refining where and what to sell when and to who
- Some vendors are moving up market, some down market
- Some vendors are moving into new markets, others are moving out of markets
- Some vendors are declaring others dead to create a new market for their products
- One size or approach or technology does not fit all needs, avoid treating all the same
- Leverage multiple tools and technology in creative ways
- Maximize return on innovation (the new ROI) by using various tools, technologies in ways to boost productivity, effectiveness while removing complexity and cost
- Realization that cutting cost can result in reduced resiliency, thus look for and remove complexity with benefit of removing costs without compromise
Keep in mind that there is a difference between industry adoption (what is talked about) and customer deployment (what are actually bought and used). Likewise there is technology based on GQ (looks and image) and G2 (functionality, experience).
There is also an industry myth that SSD cannot or has not been successful in traditional storage systems which in some cases has been true with some products or vendors. Otoh, some vendors such as EMC, NetApp and Oracle (among others) are having good success with SSD in their storage systems. Some SSD startup vendors have been more successful on both the G2 and GQ front, while some focus on the GQ or image may not be as successful (or at least yet) in the industry adoption vs. customer deployment game.
For the above mentioned storage systems vendors and products (among others), or at least for most of them there is still have plenty of life in them, granted their role and usage is changing including in some cases being found as back-end storage systems behind servers running virtualization, cloud, object storage and other storage software stacks. Likewise, some of the new and emerging storage systems (hardware, software, valueware, services) and vendors have bright futures while others may end up on the where are they now list.
Are high-end enterprise class or other storage arrays and systems dead at the hands of new startups, virtual storage appliances (VSA), storage hypervisors, storage virtualization, virtual storage and SSD?
Are large storage arrays dead at the hands of SSD?
Have SSDs been unsuccessful with storage arrays (with poll)?
Here are links to two polls where you can cast your vote.
Cast your vote and see results of if large storage arrays and systems are dead here.
Cast your vote and see results of if SSD has not been successful in storage systems.
So what about it, are enterprise or large storage arrays and systems dead?
Perhaps in some tabloids or industry myths (or that some wish for) or in some customer environments, as well as for some vendors or their products that can be the case.
However, IMHO for many other environments (and vendors) the answer is no, granted some will continue to evolve from legacy high-end enterprise class storage systems to mid-range or to appliance or VSA or something else.
There is still life many of the storage systems architectures, platforms and products that have been declared dead for over a decade.
Continue reading about the specifics of the EMC VMAX 10K announcement in the next post in this series here. Also check out Chucks EMC blog to see what he has to say.
Ok, nuff said for now.
Disclosure: EMC is not a StorageIO client; however, they have been in the past directly and via acquisitions that they have done. I am however a customer of EMC via my Iomega IX4 NAS (I never did get the IX2 that I supposedly won at EMCworld ;) ) that I bought on Amazon.com and indirectly via VMware products that I have, oh, and they did sent me a copy of the new book Human Face of Big Data (read more here).

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Choosing the right cloud for your workloads is a balancing act that can cost your organization time, money and aggravation - unless you get it right the first time. Economics, speed, performance, accessibility, administrative needs and security all play a vital role in dictating your approach to the cloud. Without knowing the right questions to ask, you could wind up paying for capacity you'll never need or underestimating the resources required to run your applications.

Enterprise networks are complex. Moreover, they were designed and deployed to meet a specific set of business requirements at a specific point in time. But, the adoption of cloud services, new business applications and intensifying security policies, among other factors, require IT organizations to continuously deploy configuration changes. Therefore, enterprises are looking for better ways to automate the management of their networks while still leveraging existing capabilities, optimizing perf...

In my pursuit of happiness, I think that to have Joy is better than pleasure. So to repeat a line from a song by the Beatles; and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you gave.

On the money and a principle I live by everyday. The sad part is that most Americans are too busy wondering why they don't have more, or have it better, that they forget that we live better here than 90% of the worlds population.

It is true! We manifest what we think, eventually. It is so important to think as positive as we can and as much as we can! When we are grateful, we are thinking of the positive wonderful things that make us feel good. The more gratitude we have and the more we show it, the more it will bring those things into our lives! Lately, I haven't practiced it enough! You know, the more we find ways to be grateful for those around us, the happier will be. This should includes we may not think about as much. Try and find something good in everyone you talk to and tell them! It isn't as easy as you think, but it does wonderful things. It brings people together.

Pirates are part of the terrorist network
While many of the major Western nations are presently united in a military effort to wipe out terrorism in the Middle East and East Africa, there's been an ongoing "lack of will" to enforce the same vigilance when it comes to ocean piracy.
in the NewsState of Logistics 2016: Pursue mutual benefit May trade between U.S. and NAFTA partners down 3.1 percent UPS reports solid Q2 earnings paced by international and B2C growth AAR reports another week of declining volumes Despite mixed Q2 results, transportation & logistics deal making prospects look bright More News
While many of the major Western nations are presently united in a military effort to wipe out terrorism in the Middle East and East Africa, there's been an ongoing "lack of will" to enforce the same vigilance when it comes to ocean piracy.
According to Michele White, General Counsel, INTERTANKO (International Association of Independent Tanker Owners), this "lack of political will" is exactly the reason that 80 percent of pirates caught are released.
"They will attack again instead of staying under arrest awaiting trial and punishment," he says.
Now the Asian Shippers' Council is demanding that heightened action be taken on a worldwide scale against this scourge.
In last week's proposal to the International Chamber of Commerce, the Council insisted that nations come together to conduct preemptive strikes against pirate staging areas in Somalia. At the same time the Council suggests that there be an international effort to "follow the money," thereby cutting off the pirate's lucrative trade with more widely recognized members of the terrorist network.
We agree with General Counsel, White, that any State may prosecute pirates captured by their warships:
"The often rehearsed excuse that international law requires pirates to be caught in the act of an attack as a condition for prosecution has no basis in international law."

About Buffet Restaurants
Have you ever had a craving for more than one thing at the same time? You look at a menu full of great options and you just cannot decide on just one. Most of us would not dare order more than one entree, so what do you do when you want to sample more than one item? You visit your local buffet. Buffet style dining is great because you can sample all of the amazing dishes a restaurant has to offer. Why settle for just one dish when you can try them all? Another great thing about buffet restaurants is that you can take a little bit of everything and if you do not like something, you can put it aside and go get something else. Some people might shy away from trying new things at a typical restaurant, because if they did not enjoy the item they are stuck with it. When you dine at a buffet style restaurant you do not need to worry about trying new things. Most buffet restaurants are reasonably priced. For the amount of food you can try and consume, the price is very low. Some buffets might be more expensive because they offer more high end products such as lobster or crab legs. Check out the buffet menu before deciding on what local buffet to dine at. This will not only help you determine if the buffet carries the dishes you desire, but it will also help you figure out if it fits your budget. Buffets will fill you up so remember to wear loose fitting clothing. If you are on a diet, a buffet restaurant is probably not the best choice for you. However, if you do have to go to a buffet while on a diet, there are ways to eat healthy. Most buffets have salad bars. You can choose from an assortment of vegetables and a variety of dressings. If you are on a really strict diet you will probably want to stay away from the creamier dressings like ranch, thousand island, and blue cheese. If your local buffet does not carry low fat dressings you can chose from the assortment of vinaigrettes. Many buffets also carry a variety of soups. The creamier soups will have more calories, so if you are watching your waist line, try a vegetable soup or minestrone. Just remember the key to keeping the pounds off is moderation. If you do not splurge all the time, visiting the local buffet can be a welcomed treat. You can take a small portion of everything in order to try it all without over eating.

More on Buffet Restaurants
Most local buffet restaurants offer a casual dining experience. No need to dress up yourself or your kids in order to enjoy their food. They are also typically kid friendly. Children especially love the sundae bar that most buffet restaurants carry. This gives the consumer the opportunity to pick the type of ice cream, the amount, and the toppings they would like on top. Buffets also carry an assortment of desserts. They carry everything from chocolate chip cookies and apple pie to cobbler and pudding. If you are on a diet, most buffet restaurants also carry an assortment of freshly cut fruit and yogurt. Instead of hitting the sundae bar you can create a fruit parfait. Simply fill a cup with the type of yogurt you desire add a few barriers and to it with some granola. You will save a ton of fat and calories and still be able to enjoy a sweet treat. Some buffets are very popular and lines can get long. Make sure you plan on waiting a bit before dining or visit your buffet at a less crowded time of day.

Taking In the Sites
Web Offers an Outlet For Charitable Impulses
By SREENATH SREENIVASAN
Published: December 2, 1996
The spirit -- and reality -- of giving has a strong presence on the World Wide Web this holiday season.
''The Internet is a perfect medium for nonprofits,'' said Robbin Zeff, author of the ''Nonprofit Guide to the Internet.'' ''Web sites allow nonprofits to give out sophisticated information in an easily accessible manner, and these groups are exploiting it.'' Private foundations are also getting into the act, putting up Web sites that enable grant seekers to learn about grant makers.
The Philanthropy Journal Online is a good starting point. The site's index of nonprofit organizations is a comprehensive list of hypertext links to the Web sites for a number of nonprofit organizations.
The Foundation Center site furnishes detailed information on the fund-raising process. It has a guide to writing proposals, a glossary of philanthropic terms and on-line grant application forms.
Prospect research is the term used for finding possible financing, and two in-depth resources for the field are the Internet Prospector and the Prospect Research Page run by David Lamb, a fund-raiser at the University of Washington.
Businesses interested in corporate giving can visit the site of the Council on Foundations, whose 1,300 members give over $6 billion in charitable grants every year. It has information on starting a foundation.
The Ford Foundation, the world's largest private grant-making organization, will have its debut on the Web tomorrow. Its site will include detailed information for grant seekers.
Corporate and foundation philanthropy attracts a lot of publicity, but the bulk of charitable gifts are made by individual donors. Last year individuals gave more than $116 billion to charity, while foundations and corporations gave an estimated $18 billion combined.
For individuals, there are several sites that will try to make you feel good even as they relieve you of your money. Before you get caught up in the spirit of giving, it is worth learning as much as possible about charities.
The National Charities Information Bureau is one of several sites that helps consumers identify worthwhile causes. It has a ''tips for givers'' section, as well as a rating system for more than 300 charities and their compliance with the bureau's ''standards in philanthropy,'' which include, for example, an organization's use of funds.
The Internet Nonprofit Center offers an interactive ''nonprofit locator'' service that searches more than a million tax-exempt groups in the United States. Punch in keywords and a particular state and you will get back a detailed list of groups that match your specifications.
While many sites are little more than electronic brochures for the charities, others use the Web in interesting ways to encourage giving. Operation Smile, a group in Norfolk, Va., that sponsors surgery for children around the world with facial deformities, has a site that not only provides comprehensive information, but also features movie clips that show before-and-after photos of patients.
Some organizations combine celebrity appeals with multimedia tools to enliven their sites. City Harvest, a New York-based agency that collects unused food from restaurants and supermarkets, uses a video clip featuring the actress Susan Sarandon asking for contributions.
The site of San Francisco-based Coral Forest, an organization that works to protect coral reefs around the world, has teachers' guides, sounds of a coral reef, a map showing threatened areas and, in a surprising connection, links to Grateful Dead sites. (The group's guitarist, Bob Weir, is the brother of Coral Forest's executive director, Wendy Weir.)
The National Black United Fund, based in Newark, is one of the groups whose site enables donors to find information about minority charities.
The American Lung Association, which runs a successful old-media campaign through its annual Christmas Seals program, has moved to the world of new media this year. You can send, via the Web, Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanza seals, as well as download a holiday screen saver.
Many people who make contributions, of course, are doing so with an eye toward April 15, so it is worth making sure that the donations qualify for tax deductions.

I am installing a HP P410 RRAID controller onto a HP Proliant DL320 G6. The card has two SAS ports, but I only need one. Does it matter which of the two ports I use? There is no indication on the card itself. I don't know if RAID cards work like RAM, where you're supposed to use certain ports/slots first..
The port will not have an impact. You can use either.

After Wham! Pow! Shazam!
Published: November 26, 2000
(Page 3 of 3)
When the threat of the world's end has passed, Boring re-enters the world and the story becomes ever-more Hitchcockian, with strong flavorings of ''Vertigo,'' as he loses his Wanda and searches for her, or a close-enough version. Along the way, Boring again finds trouble, including threats from the husband of his new infatuation, prompting a delicious cameo from Clowes himself, wielding a bat.
Clowes's characters, rendered with cool facility, move stiffly and stare blankly, either half-lobotomized or simply stunned by their crushing reality. And Boring is Clowes's emptiest vessel yet, making his moments of emotional clarity -- when the Lynchian plot gives way to simple longing for a childhood crush -- even more powerful.
Chris Ware's work appears in a Chicago newspaper, New City, the editors of which decided many years ago to give his work the dignity it deserves, allowing it a full page, each and every week, in color. ''Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth'' is the novel-length culmination of five years of these installments.
Ware has developed a following devoted to his excruciatingly precise and delicate artwork and, just as important, to his frankly stunning design, evidence of which knocks a reader back before the spine is bent: The book's dust jacket actually folds out into a large, two-sided poster that illuminates the lineage of the characters within and includes a description of the book's hero, Jimmy, in the form of a personal ad: ''Hello. My name is Jimmy. I am five feet eleven and one half inches tall, and I hold an average weight. . . . Music and dancing are another part of the many activities that are pleasing and relaxing, though I am not always familiar with their aspects.''
The truth is, Jimmy would never place a personal ad, much less dance with his date. Jimmy Corrigan is a stooped-over and pathetic man of 36, so thoroughly agoraphobic that he can barely process and answer a question asked of him, let alone handle an encounter with a woman, a doctor -- least of all a father. His father has indeed been absent since he was very small, and he's grown up with a mother we come to know as pestering but who, in her younger days, was something of a swinging bachelorette. At one point in Jimmy's youth, mother and son attend a classic car show where Jimmy meets an actor in a superhero costume. The man, feigning interest in Jimmy but actually smitten with Jimmy's mother, takes them both to dinner and then back to their house, where he spends the night. In the morning he tries to sneak past Jimmy, who is eating cereal in the kitchen. Nimbly, he gives Jimmy the mask from his costume, pats him on the head and asks him to tell his mother, ''I had a real good time.''
His father-figure problems explode when Jimmy receives a call from his real father, who wants finally to meet his grown son. Jimmy agrees and flies from his home in Chicago to suburban Michigan; when they finally see each other, Superman the father is not. They eat at a fast-food place and then (on, remember, their first night together) Jimmy's father suggests they rent a movie (''How about a comedy? Do you like comedies?''). The moment's pathos derives from its utter believability.
Interwoven throughout are scenes from the boyhood of Jimmy's grandfather, James, who grows up motherless on the South Side of Chicago in the shadow of the 1893 Columbian Exposition. James's father is overbearing and overworked, and James finds no solace at home or at school, where he's victim, again and again, to acceptance given and then taken away. We read James's story knowing that something horrible will come of his relationship with his father, and in time, at the top of the Exposition's golden dome (Ware's architectural renderings are incredible; see facing page), it does.
But when it seems the story could not get any more bleak, it bleakens. Back in present-day Michigan, a series of freak accidents -- his father's car is stolen, Jimmy is hit by a truck and later meets a stepsister he never knew he had -- enlivens the story, even while it's getting increasingly Jobian. All the while, Ware's sublime artwork, somehow both meticulous and utterly free, leavens the mood. Ware is the most versatile and innovative artist the medium has known, and though it's unlikely that anyone soon will tell a story as powerfully as did Spiegelman in ''Maus,'' in terms of sheer aesthetic virtuosity Ware's book is arguably the greatest achievement of the form, ever.
With Katchor, Barry and Clowes -- and half a dozen others working the territory -- Ware's work insists that we look at this genre, where art and words are conceived together and inextricably interwoven, not as literary fiction's half-wit cousin but as, more accurately, the mutant sister who can often do everything fiction can, and, just as often, more.

Study: Global Warming Effecting North America's Northernmost Arctic Lake
September 29, 2007 05:35 PM - Paul Schaefer, ENN
Quebec, Canada - Analyses conducted by researchers from Université Laval's Center for Northern Studies reveal that aquatic life in Ward Hunt Lake, the continent's northernmost lake, is affected by climate change.
Ward Hunt Lake is a body of water located on a small island north of Ellesmere Island in the Canadian Arctic, has undergone major transformations within the last two centuries. The speed and range of these transformations—unprecedented in the lake's last 8,000 years—suggest that climate change related to human activity could be at the source of this phenomenon.
The researchers' conclusions are based on the analysis of a sediment core extracted in the center of Ward Hunt Lake in August 2003. This 18 centimeter long sediment core containing algae pigments and diatom remnants was used by the researchers as a biological archive in order to determine the diversity and abundance of aquatic life-forms in the lake over the last 8,450 years.
Researchers Discover Tropical Kelp Forests
September 29, 2007 04:33 PM - Paul Schaefer, ENN
Santa Barbara, California - Santa Barbara, California - Researchers have discovered large undersea forests of endangered kelp in areas previously thought to be bare of the plant, in the tropics. Using a computer model, researchers believe they've located nearly 10,000 square miles of areas that could harbor the plant. "The ecosystems that form in these cold, deep pockets beneath warm tropical waters look more like their cousins in California than the tropical reefs just 200 feet above," said co-author Brian Kinlan, a researcher with UC Santa Barbara's Marine Science Institute. "It is very similar to what we see when we climb a high mountain. For example, high alpine country in California looks more like Alaska."
Tropical Storm Melissa Whirls In Atlantic
September 29, 2007 03:35 PM -
MIAMI (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Melissa formed in the Atlantic Ocean on Saturday but posed no immediate threat to land, while Tropical Depression Karen weakened, the National Hurricane Center said.
As of 11 a.m. EDT, Melissa was about 300 miles
west of the Cape Verde Islands, moving northwest at eight miles per hour (13 kilometers per hour) with winds of 40 mph, the hurricane center said.
"Little change in strength is forecast during the next 24 hours," the center's advisory said.
Solar Parking Lot Will Deliver 1-Megawatt To Santa Rosa, California
September 28, 2007 07:20 PM -
SAN JOSE and SANTA CLARA, Calif., - SunPower Corporation, a manufacturer of high-efficiency solar cells, solar panels and solar systems, and Agilent Technologies today announced they'll install a 1-megawatt solar tracking system at Agilent's Santa Rosa, Calif., campus on top of a canopy structure in the campus parking lot, providing both shade in the lot and solar electric power for the facility. A lot of power.
The SunPower Tracker, which follows the sun's movement throughout the day. Using SunPower solar panels, the highest efficiency panels on the market today, the system is expected to generate an estimated 1.8 million kilowatt-hours per year, offsetting more than 33 million pounds of carbon dioxide over the next 30 years. This is equivalent to planting more than 4,700 acres of trees or removing 3,300 cars from California's roadways.
Karen may turn toward U.S. East Coast, depression forms
September 28, 2007 05:35 PM -
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Even as Tropical Storm Karen weakened over the central Atlantic on Friday, weather models showed the storm could turn westward toward Puerto Rico or the East Coast of North America over the next five days.
Elsewhere in the Atlantic, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said Tropical Depression 14 formed about 210 miles southwest of the Cape Verde Islands.
Karen, meanwhile, was about 805 miles east-northeast of the Windward Islands of Dominica, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, the Grenadines and Grenada at about 11 a.m. EDT, the NHC said in a report.
It was too soon to say where, if at all, either storm would make landfall.
3 Dead, Hurricane Lorenzo Plows Into Mexico
September 28, 2007 05:20 PM - Alejandro Juarez,
NAUTLA, Mexico (Reuters) - Hurricane Lorenzo crashed into Mexico's Gulf coast on Friday, killing three people in a mudslide and knocking out power to 85,000 homes.
In the coastal fishing town of Nautla, Lorenzo's 80 mph (130 kph) winds ripped off bits of roofs, blew down trees and scattered debris in the streets.
"It hit us hard and there is an incredible amount of rain," said Mayra Castro, 29, a waitress who spent the night mopping up water that leaked into her house through windows and under doors.
UK Power Giants Fail to Show Leadership on Climate Change

The reports compare the climate change targets and policies of the six biggest power companies.RWE npower and EDF Energy performed poorly in both reports, showing the least progress in addressing climate change issues.
Climate Change Bill Calls for 50-cent Fuel Tax
September 28, 2007 09:13 AM - Reuters
WASHINGTON - U.S. drivers would pay a 50-cent tax on each gallon of gasoline they pump to encourage less fuel use and cut greenhouse gas emissions, under draft legislation to fight global warming released on Thursday. "In order or reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make the planet safe and healthy for future generations it will take a significant investment from all of us," said Rep. John Dingell, the powerful chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. "A fee on carbon emissions requires a tithe from all citizens and industries, but no one entity will be unfairly leveled with a devastating burden," Dingell said about his climate change proposal.
Arctic Thaw May be at "Tipping Point"
September 28, 2007 08:57 AM - Reuters
OSLO- A record melt of Arctic summer sea ice this month may be a sign that global warming is reaching a critical trigger point that could accelerate the northern thaw, some scientists say. "The reason so much (of the Arctic ice) went suddenly is that it is hitting a tipping point that we have been warning about for the past few years," James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, told Reuters. The Arctic summer sea ice shrank by more than 20 percent below the previous 2005 record low in mid-September to 4.13 million sq km (1.6 million sq miles), according to a 30-year satellite record. It has now frozen out to 4.2 million sq km.
Tropical Storm Lorenzo Lashes Mexico's Gulf Coast
September 28, 2007 08:39 AM - Reuters
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Lorenzo was downgraded to a tropical storm over Mexico on Friday hours after it swept ashore as a Category 1 hurricane, dumping heavy rain on the already waterlogged state of Veracruz. Lorenzo lost force after it made landfall near the Gulf of Mexico port city of Tuxpan, and its maximum wind speed had dropped to 65 mph (100 kph) by 5 a.m. EDT (0900 GMT), the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. The storm was not seen affecting Mexico's oil production but around 100,000 people living between Tuxpan and the town of Nautla further south were evacuated to storm shelters.

Victory: Your Sad, Old Spinster Habits Now Have A Name
As you are certainly aware, What Should We Call Me is the biggest deal, ever. Not in the least bit because it is through this .GIF aggregator that we've learned to embrace things like eating pizza in bed and watching 10+ hours of Netflix in one sitting...instead of, say, going out and partying and being glamorous. These are things that would have once been thought of as "sad," but very serious scientific research now tells us that they are, in fact, "happy." Call it the new spinsterhood. Call it Liz Lemon syndrome. Or, now, call it by its catchy new name: SWUG.
It stands for Senior Washed Up Girl and refers to women in their last year of college who've decided not give a monkey's behind about being a part of the "scene." And though it was specifically invented for Yale upperclass women, we think it's fully applicable to everyday post-grad life. It involves a lot of couch wine and, presumably, night cheese. And, according to a self-identified SWUG, it supposedly makes you a "more complex person."
Look, we're not going to mix up the haterade just yet, though Maggie Lange is probably right that there's a vaguely cringe-worthy, attention-seeking aspect that's particularly characteristic of — or at least, particularly visible when applied to — a certain generation. And we don't love the idea that women are "washed up" if they're not into dressing up and running themselves through the "meat grinder" (as one male student so wisely put it) at campus parties or nightclubs. But hey, if privileged Yale people want to come up with terms to describe every minute detail of their lives, that's fine. That's what the Internet is for, after all. That's why memes were made. It's kind of obnoxious, it's kind of funny, and it's certainly a life phase we can all relate to (especially with the recent publishing of this listicle).
All we're saying is this: TL;DR, can somebody please just order Pinkberry already?

New Berlin — How to put the brakes on roadwork that's finding its way into more of the money needed for city services is something the city is considering as it develops a budget for next year.
In past years, the city has borrowed money mainly for roads and other big purchases, such as fire trucks, but has not raised property taxes. Paying off that road debt has become more problematic, given the city's available funds.
The city is on a road to disaster unless something is done, Treasurer Ralph Chipman warned the Common Council last week.
If it keeps borrowing the same amount it always has, "the levy increase is basically going to explode," Chipman said.
Dealing with debt
City officials are between a rock and a hard place, Alderman Dennis Horbinski said.
"As I've been saying for a couple years, we really need to pay our credit cards," he said, but he noted that about half the complaints he gets are about roads that need work.
The consensus on the council still was to have no levy increases.
John Fillar, newly appointed alderman for the 7th District, applauded the council for keeping the levy at zero for both debt service and operating costs.
"The goal should include debt, otherwise we will be tempted to push that off and have a time bomb," Fillar said.
With department heads working on zero levy increase budgets, the council will now await suggestions from its Finance Committee on how it can pull off road work without raising taxes. The committee should have its recommendations to the council in July.
Budget realities
Hitting a zero levy increase will not be easy for department heads.
Even with no raises for nonunion employees and small raises for police and fire personnel, Chipman predicts spending would exceed this year's levy by $568,728. That would require a 2.35 percent property tax levy increase, he said. The increase to the tax rate would be about 10 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, he estimated.
Even if just the operations levy were held to zero, the council will have to cut $181,819 from the estimated total needed to offer the same services as this year, Chipman said. The 2014 operating budget is roughed out at $34,453,562, which is a 0.1 percent increase over the 2013 budget.
These projections are with a best scenario budget, he cautioned.
Complicating things is the fact that the 2014 budget will likely have to rely on $1 million in budget reserves to make up the difference between tax revenues and expenses. About $1 million of the reserves will probably be needed this year, too, Chipman said.
While the reserves are a bit more than needed for the city to maintain its enviable AAA bond rating, that rating could be in trouble in a couple years, Chipman said.
Offering a little budget leeway is a small growth in the city's tax base, meaning that the city can raise more money with the same tax rate. However, the council is aiming for a zero levy increase, which refers to the amount raised and not the tax rate.
