text: Meditite Current LC Council Discussion Topic Meditate Pokémon Fighting / Psychic Pure Power / Telepathy (Released) Overview General (Move your mouse to reveal the content) General (open) General (close) Meditite, a beast due to its fantastic coverage for LC, incredible Attack stat, access to priority, and much, much more. A victim of the previous "Big Four," Meditite was banned early last July along with Carvanha, Gligar, and Misdreavus (the last two have been unbanned recently). Meditite is now up for discussion as to whether or not it is truly broken and whether or not it can make the current metagame objectively more enjoyable. Why is it being reconsidered? First and foremost, Meditite had to go when Misdreavus went. Depending on its moves, it can beat most if its normal counters, such as Slowpoke, with relative ease. Misdreavus was amongst the only solid answers to Meditite, and now that it is unbanned, Meditite may be able to flourish and balance the meta. Amongst its advantages it brings to the meta are viable competitive competition to Mienfoo and Croagunk while having the completely niche ability to check both Gligar and Scraggy in some circumstances. Hopefully, Meditite would allow more things in the metagame to have advantages, such as the aforementioned Slowpoke, who could become competitive competition for defensive Gligar in the case that 3 Punch Meditite with Ice Punch > ThunderPunch becomes popular. Of course, Meditite is very tricky to counter due to its incredible Attack, meaning it could become the new face everyone is sick of seeing. Either way, it has tons of utility and the potential to rock a currently confused meta.

An Eviolite set allows it to be arguably the best answer to Scraggy while simultaneously threatening out defensive Pokemon who can't deal enough damage against Drain Punch. Drain Punch: Best option against Scraggy since Hi Jump Kick is risky. Do note the massive power attained by Hi Jump Kick, however. Also, Drain Punch backed by Pure Power allows Meditite to have an easier time against defensive Pokemon such as Porygon than Pokemon such as Mienfoo, who have a harder time taking it out. Bullet Punch: Priority move, can pick off weakened offensive Gligar, weakened Tirtouga and Omanyte, and does massive damage to the likes of Taillow, Snover, and other Pokemon. While it's not the move you go to when you need to OHKO something, it allows Meditite more usability late game when a weakened faster Pokemon threatens to end an otherwise fine sweep. Ice Punch: In this meta, Ice Punch is all but non-negotiable due to the fact that Meditite NEEDS to be able to hit Murkrow and Gligar. It also gains some notable intricacies, such as the just noticeable freeze chance. ThunderPunch: An awesome move to hit Murkrow again along with Staryu. Most importantly, it allows Meditite to handle one of its most common checks, Slowpoke, if hazard support is provided. It also provides neutral coverage on a bunch of things such as Misdreavus, which can be useful in conjunction with its nifty paralyze chance. Alternatively, you could go with Zen Headbutt: Rounds out Meditite's neutral coverage nicely, but leaves it open to opposing Slowpoke. It also invites opposing Murkrow to come in on a predicted switch. However, it is boosted by STAB and is Meditite's best option to hit opposing Mienfoo and Croagunk, the two current dominant Fighting-types. Honorable mention: Fake Out: A fantastic idea for teams needing it as Meditite possesses one of the strongest non-STAB Fake Outs in the tier. Unfortunately, Meditite has a hard time fitting it onto this set. Resisting Drain Punch and taking only neutral damage from Crunch, Meditite is arguably one of the best Scraggy checks around. Due to the completely massive Attack stat and ridiculous coverage with 4 moves, Meditites is capable of tearing down walls for faster teammates to sweep later while applying pressure itself. It resists / takes a pittance from most priority, and its severe bulk combine to form one fearsome Pokemon for opposing teams to face. Notable problems to this set include Slowpoke if one opts for Zen Headbutt and Misdreavus regardless. Misdreavus will threaten Meditite out nine times out of ten; however, it lacks semi-reliable recovery that Meditite has through Drain Punch. For this reason, Stunky can be a good teammate to trap and eliminate Ghost-types, especially if Meditite opts for Hi Jump Kick. Will add more sets later. Please add your input, regardless of whether or not you're in the Council! We're dying to hear from you, especially if you participated in the last meta with Meditite!

Gripping story of an extraordinary life
July 10 2014
This review is from:
Bonhoeffer (Hardcover)
This is a very engaging account of a very interesting life. Bonhoeffer was a complex character who lived in complex times. As a theologian, he laboured on the battle ground between liberalism and biblical orthodoxy. As a German, he lived in the stormy years of the Great War, the injustice and depression of the interwar years, and the rise and fall of one of the most evil political and ideological regimes of the 20th century, Nazism. As a pastor, mentor and teacher, he helped train people to minister while he himself ministered to souls (from troubled children to blue collar congregations to intellectual elites to seminarians to fellow prisoners). As a German, he struggled to remain faithful to his nation while opposing the evil ideology of the Nazis from the earliest days in every way he could both at home and abroad. To say he lived in tumultuous times is gross understatement.
Any version of Bonhoeffer's life or any assessment of his theology that doesn't take into account the complexities of his ecclesiastical and historical-political context is going to paint a warped caricature. To a certain extent, because of the incompleteness of his own work (he died too young to have fully developed his own theological ideas) and the unevenness of the sources (there are only patchy details about certain parts of his life and work, and of course his own letters and the reports of his family and friends won't give a full-orbed picture), any biography will, at least at some points, be a project in interpretation rather than objective reporting. In fact, because of the incompleteness of Bonhoeffer's theology, it has made him an easy project for both liberals and conservatives to adopt and, reading him in light of their own contemporary debates, mold to fit their own agendas and argue for their own side. This has been done too frequently to the point that there are two Bonhoeffers out their and they often don't sound much like one another. Even though Metaxas will no doubt be accused of claiming Bonhoeffer for the "conservatives" and "evangelicals", he provides some balance to the image that liberals have tried to paint of Bonhoeffer, even if the balance comes in the form of a pendulum swing possibly slightly too far in the other direction.
But Metaxas certainly is right to reclaim Bonhoeffer as a personal disciple of Christ, one who loved God, believed his Word, followed Christ personally and lovingly shepherded his church. Too often liberals have tried to claim Bonhoeffer and his "religionless Christianity" as supporting their godless Christianity. They simply attempt to coopt the heroic Bonhoeffer in their project to maintain the ethic of the man Jesus even as they empty Jesus of his moral authority as God incarnate, the central pillar in their attempt to make Christian morality relevant to a secular scientific age that has rejected notions of the supernatural. But Bonhoeffer was a follower of the Jesus of divine revelation and a passionate student of Scripture. He preached the gospel of the cross and faced his imprisonment with courage and his execution by the Gestapo with the hope of the resurrection because his faith rested in the resurrected and sovereign Lord Jesus.
There are minor issues with editing in perhaps 6 or 8 places. Little typos (doubled words, misspellings, etc.) which make it look like final editing might have been rushed, especially toward the end of the book. Also, in the final pages, Metaxas makes a dramatic point that the text which Bishop George Bell, a friend of Bonhoeffer and fellow worker in the ecumenical movement and anti-Nazi efforts of the Confessing Church, used for his sermon at Bonhoeffer's memorial service in London was none other than one from the Sermon on the Mount, the passage from Matthew that forms the basis of Bonhoeffer's great book, The Cost of Discipleship. However, the passage isn't from the Sermon on the Mount but from Jesus' commissioning of his disciples in Matthew 10 as he sends them out to preach the kingdom. This is a slip-up to be sure, but nothing to diminish this engaging biography which, in most places, moves along at the pace of a good novel.
This biography has done for me what all good biographies ought to do: it has made me appreciate the person of Bonhoeffer more than I previously did, it has made me feel like I know him much better than I did, and it has sparked in me the desire to know him better through other biographies and through his own works. I highly recommend it to all and I'd give it 4.5 stars.
Why Our Church Switched to the ESV
4.0 out of 5 stars
Why switch Bible translations?
June 16 2014
This review is from:
Why Our Church Switched to the ESV (Kindle Edition)
When I was in Bible college (quite some time ago now), I switched away from using the NIV largely due to four factors. Firstly, I took 8 semesters of Greek and (regrettably, only) one of Hebrew, but that was enough to demonstrate to me that the NIV was so very often doing as much interpretation as it was translation. Secondly, as I was studying passages and books of the Bible and was turning to the best of the commentaries, I found that the commentators were spending a goodish bit of time explaining why the NIV doesn't translate a particular passage all that well and what it ought really to be saying. Third, as I was doing my own translation and sentence diagramming work, I was coming to the same conclusions. And forth, in my preaching and teaching (I stayed on to teach for a year) I didn't like the fact that I was having to "unteach" so many passages from the NIV before going on to explain what they really say. I switched for a time to the NASB, which is a helpful version for serious study but which is a pretty clunky translation for everyday reading. For many people, including children, reading the NASB is a bit like eating 3/4 inch gravel in chalk dust sauce. Then I switched to the NKJV which was better but still not ideal (for a few reasons). Then the ESV showed up during my time in church ministry and I found it to be the best balance of accurate translation and readability thus far.
This little book by Kevin DeYoung is so short and to the point that if I make this review any longer, I'll just be restating his arguments in my own words. I am grateful for this little booklet and commend it as very useful. Don't worry if you are a faithful NIV (or other translation) user. DeYoung still holds to the belief that the best Bible is the one you actually read. God can and does work through many translations. However, when it came time to pick a "pew" and preaching Bible for our church, we went with the ESV for many of the reasons DeYoung points out. The ESV attempts to be a readable and essentially literal translation rather than doing so much interpretation.
This leads me to an additional reason I switched to the ESV, but was not part of my Bible school experience. If God chose to state certain things in an ambiguous way, or in a way which could legitimately be understood in more than one sense and still fit the context of the passage, the book and the Scriptures overall, who is a committee of translators to decide what God meant (or didn't mean)? If the author was supernatural, why should His book conform to our "only one true interpretation of any given text" model? [And no, I'm not saying all interpretations are legitimate.] Read this even if you don't think its relevant to your situation and even if you already use the ESV but couldn't tell someone else why.

Sabbath as Resistance: Saying No in the Culture of Now (Paperback)
There are some truly great insights in this book. The theme of Sabbath as Resistance to the break-neck pace of life and unending pursuit of material wealth and achievement is a message the church of our day (particularly the North American church) needs to take to heart. This book is (thankfully) not a legalistic volume of "thou shalt nots", nor does it spiritualize away the meaning of Sabbath rest - it really means resting from our labours. The Sabbath is a call to resist the dehumanizing gods of perpetual frenzy and to actively trust God rather than the unceasing work of our hands and the limits of our credit cards, to provide our needs.
Keeping Sabbath rest is a powerful witness in the midst of a culture that never seems to slow down and that is always working, always buying, always acquiring, always on the go - what the author calls a culture or economy of "acquisitiveness". Brueggemann looks primarily to Exodus, Deuteronomy, Isaiah, and Amos to argue that Sabbath is resistance to anxiety, coercion, exclusivism and multitasking. There are many great insights into the frenetic and destructive nature of our daily lives and into the balance and perspective that Sabbath provides. Brueggemann contrasts the Mosaic command of Sabbath rest with the command of Pharaoh and the gods of Egypt to unceasing labour and ever-increasing production. He further draws the parallel between YHWH's example of rest, which was to be imitated by humanity, with that of the pagan gods who always demand bigger, stronger, faster, more, etc., because they are insecure and must force others down to elevate themselves. As YHWH called Israel out of a culture of slavery to the system of unending forced labour to build the Egyptian empire, so God still calls his people out of the materialistic cultural ethos of the day to rest and trust to his provision of their needs. Arguing from Deut., Isaiah and Amos, Brueggemann calls the reader to covenant "neighbourliness" rather than commoditization of people, with the ensuing enmity, constant competition, inhumanity, violence, etc., that entails. Brueggemann calls the church to reject the acquisitive nature of our culture and economy (constantly producing and acquiring more) and to return to the practice of Sabbath rest as a way of imaging YHWH and resisting the modern gods of materialism, power, violence and coercion which would enslave everyone. I agree with much of what the author has to say here, even if I think he presents a rather unbalanced picture since without an accompanying theology of work one could walk away with an unbiblical and perpetually negative view of labour, work ethic, competition, etc. Our current culture also has an unbiblical view of rest, exchanging it for leisure/pleasure, often striving frenetically so that we can waste time on empty time wasters. Hopefully this will not be the only work one reads on Sabbath. I believe that this is a much needed message for a church that is often very confused about Sabbath observance, if not completely ignorant of it. While this is certainly not all that needs to be said about the Sabbath, it is definitely valuable and often prophetic (imagine calling church families to forgo Sunday sports for worship and rest with God's people!...that's enough to get you thrown naked into a pit).
However, as Brueggemann expands on this theme, it becomes increasingly clear that he views the wealthy and powerful captains of industry, banking elite, free-market capitalists, etc., as the ones who most resemble Pharaoh and the slave-driving Egyptian gods. While he is certainly correct that very often these groups are guilty of fostering a culture of acquisitiveness and greedily demanding unending production, he fails to balance the picture with the fact that there are consumers out there who, just as greedily, continue to purchase and acquire. If modern capitalist producers are the present day Pharaohs, then modern consumers are willingly enslaved because we want the leeks and onions that Pharaoh hands out. Also, while it is wrong to steal, it is not wrong to gain wealth trough lawful trade. Brueggemann seems to look for regulations to limit the acquisitiveness of our modern society and apparently hopes redistribution of wealth will mitigate materialism, care for the needy and bring about neighbourliness as a replacement the dehumanizing commoditization of people. This seems to me to be a big blind spot in his diagnosis of the problem as well as his prescription of a solution. While he recognizes the place of Sabbath, of rest, and of trusting God to provide (in the teachings of both the the OT and NT), he seems to want government to regulate how much the wealthy classes can accumulate, how much industry is allowed to expect from labour, and hopes to thereby curb greed. But government seems to me to be the worst offender of all when it comes to commoditizing people and fostering greed. For all his talk of resistance to the traditional power structures of our society, the author seems too trusting of the biggest traditional power holder of all, socialist and redistributionist governments and their multi-layered bureaucracy of regulators. Brueggemann sees capitalism as the equivalent of Pharaonic Egypt, but it could be more accurately argued that modern socialist and centralist governments (rather than the so-called free market which actually doesn't currently exist), are the more consistent and direct comparison. Brueggemann rightly identifies covetousness as the opposite spirit to the spirit of Sabbath rest. However, more than once he speaks of those in power and those with affluence as the ones perennially guilty of covetousness and of commoditization of life and thereby trampling the rights of the needy. This is not a fair picture of the outworking of the sin of covetousness. Sometimes the very passages he quotes to argue his point, that those in power covetously prey on the poor and needy and commoditize people and creation, prove that covetousness is actually a sin that all people, regardless of socio-economic standing, are guilty of. In presenting the covetousness inherent in an acquisitive economy which tramples the "rights of the needy" Brueggemann quotes Jeremiah 6:13 and argues that the prophet is accusing the "urban leadership", "from priest to prophet", of preying on and dealing falsely with the rural agrarian populations. Jeremiah shows that it was very often the civic/spiritual leadership that, in their greed and covetousness, preyed on the people. The problem is that Brueggemann speaks as though it is only leadership and the affluent who covet, whereas Jeremiah 6:13 plainly says, "From the least to the greatest of them, everyone is greedy for unjust gain; and from prophet to priest, everyone deals falsely." Note the double use of "everyone". In many places which Brueggemann sees the leaders, the power holders, and the affluent as the greedy and covetous ones, the Bible sees all people as guilty of the sins of greed and covetousness. The command against covetousness and the command to keep the Sabbath were given for everyone because these are areas of sin toward which everyone is prone - "from the least of them to the greatest, everyone is greedy for unjust gain". One recalls the Israelites in their wilderness wandering, greedily remembering the onions and leeks of Egypt and wanting to trade their freedom for slavery once again because they were dissatisfied with mannah and quail. This was not the sin of the leaders but of the people. Also, once in the land, it was not just the leaders who forgot that the houses they did not build and the fields and orchards they did not plant were all a gift from God. In their complacent comfort, the whole nation forgot what God had done for them and simply accumulated and basked in their wealth, turned to idols, ignoring the wellbeing of their neighbours as they had first forgotten the mercy of God. Both in their dissatisfaction in the wilderness and in their over-stuffed comfort of the promised land, all the people fell into covetousness and greed. The sins of greed, covetousness, and lack of faith in God's ability to provide are not sins which reside only in socio-economic structures but live first and foremost in the selfish and sinful human heart. It is just as covetous and greedy for the government to look to the resources of the wealthy and want to tax them exorbitantly and redistribute the wealth as it is for wealthy captains of industry to set up unsafe factories and fill them with child labour to increase their profit margin. The poor man who plans how he can confiscate and redistribute the wealth of the "haves" is just as greedy as the rich industrialist who plans how he can increase his profit margin by abuse of the "have nots". Both men selfishly bow to the god of mammon in the liturgy of covetousness. Failing to acknowledge this leaves Brueggemann unbalanced in his critique.
So, some very good wisdom here, even though this is neither a fulsome description of what the Sabbath is (worship is barely mentioned), nor a wholistic diagnosis of the sins against the Sabbath we see in Scripture or in today's church [*It ought to be noted that the author did not intend this work to be a complete theology or praxis of Sabbath]. Neither is this a balanced prescription of how obedience to Sabbath keeping ought to look. Because the author focusses on disobedience to Sabbath rest on a communal, institutional and cultural scale (which admittedly is worthy of examination), he leans toward macro, socio-economic and regulated solutions. But greed and covetousness are fundamental to the fallen human condition and such sins, like all sin, will only be fought through the gospel of Jesus Christ and the triumph over and freedom from sin accomplished there. Brueggemann doesn't very clearly point us to the cross for individual redemption and without that there can be no true community renewal or institutional reformation. Any solution to Sabbath disobedience must begin with covenant faithfulness flowing from a grateful community of the redeemed. Turning from the gods of the age necessarily involves turning to Christ. Perhaps (hopefully) this is assumed by the author, but in a book like this (albeit brief), it needs to be clearly spelled out as the foundation which provides the basis to all else he says. While gleaning from and being informed by Jewish Sabbath practice is certainly not inconsistent with theology intended for the church, it is not clear (to this reader at least) how Brueggemann's view of Sabbath is transformed by the Christ event (or if it isn't, why not). Separated from the ultimate Sabbath rest that the Messiah brings and toward which the weekly Sabbath points, keeping Sabbath is just a work of human effort which will itself morph into an idol just as destructive as mammon. Keeping all this in mind, the church would benefit from, as part of a holistic understanding of the fourth commandment, viewing Sabbath as resistance to the false gods and the self-reliant and materialistic mindset of our age. Recommended with caveats.

Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling (Paperback)
This was a very insightful and strongly worded polemic outlining the many faults and evils of the compulsory, monopoly government school system, written by someone who spent most of his career in that system. While packed with good insight, this book is much stronger on diagnosing the ills than on prescribing the cure. Still, I highly recommend to anyone interested in the state of North American public education today, and especially to parents who don't want their children learning to passively and unquestioningly do whatever it is that the almighty state tells them to do but instead who want their kids to grow up thinking for themselves with healthy curiosity and imagination.

Conviction to Lead, The: 25 Principles for Leadership That Matters (Hardcover)
This book is very, very good. Most books on leadership are all about methods and management, and while the author admits those things are important and he speaks to them in this volume, Al Mohler very correctly explains that solid and effective leadership begins and ends with the leaders convictions. For leadership to truly seek and result in the success of the cause or organization being lead, that leadership must be based upon, nurtured through, and be measured against the truth-based convictions of the leader(s). If leading your organization or movement doesn't start with, persevere in and point toward firmly held convictions which are themselves based solidly in reality and in transcendental or "timeless" truths, no amount of pragmatic methods or strategic management will matter. While this book would benefit any leader at any level, it is particularly beneficial to those at the very top of their organizations and also those in some form of Christian ministry or endeavor as Mohler's biblical Christian worldview is the basis for his own firmly held convictions and comes out in all he writes. The reader benefits from Mohler's own experience as a successful leader in a few different contexts as well as from the wisdom he has gleaned from his own prodigious and varied reading. This book is (thankfully) devoid of corporate-speak, pop-culture and self-improvement jargon and is written clearly and argued plainly, making it accessible for anyone, including those for whom this is their first entry into leadership literature. This book will remain as relevant and timeless as the truths it is based upon. Very highly recommended.

A Neglected Grace: Family Worship in the Christian Home (Paperback)
This is a really solid case for and practical introduction to the largely lost practice of family worship. I appreciated the author's focus on family worship as a gracious gift God has given to Christian families and the church, a "means of grace", rather than another duty to heap upon already busy families which weighs them down. Helopoulos makes a biblical case for family worship, then speaks of the practical benefits and rich spiritual blessings it brings to family life. He goes on to describe what family worship in the home can look like - mainly Scripture reading with some simple exposition and questions to promote understanding, prayer and singing Psalms, theologically-rich hymns, and God-honouring praise songs (along with some additional and optional elements that some families may want to incorporate). Also valuable is the author's discussion on the tone such times ought to take, calling families to joyful, reverent, regular and consistent worship. The section on what family worship is not is very important and every family seeking to make family worship a practice in their home would do well to keep these cautions in mind and be careful never to let this gracious gift of God degenerate into disciplinarian brow-beating, pet-doctrine soap-boxing, mere moralism, or an idol in and of itself, where family becomes the focus. Family worship, like private and corporate worship, must be Godward-focused and must never become a tool for parental guilt-tripping or emotional and behavioural manipulation, nor should it ever just become a casual family time which has some loose Christian association or vague biblical orientation.
The author includes some good testimonies and stories from families who have made family worship a regular practice. I also appreciated the very pastoral approach to encouraging families who are trying to begin this practice in their home. Helopoulos advises starting slow, small and keeping it simple and short. And when the inevitable days come where it gets missed, rather than feeling like a failure, he encourages families to just pick it right back up instead of beating themselves up. It is first and foremost grace after all, which means it is primarily a gift God gives to families, not a duty he demands of them. Yes, family worship is both commanded and exampled in Scripture, but so is Baptism, Communion, corporate worship, and loving your spouse and children, and the commands for these other things are only properly obeyed when they themselves are seen as gracious gifts from the hands of a loving Father, and when we do them out of love and joy, delighting in them, not chafing under them.
I highly recommend this book to all families and to pastors looking to recover this once common Christian practice.

A History of the World in 6 Glasses (Paperback)
This book was ok. You can get the gist of the book by reading the last paragraph of each chapter. There was some interesting history here but the premise - that these six drinks were somehow instrumental in directing the flow of historical progress - is a bit tenuous. These drinks were certainly linked to historical shifts and changes, but the author makes them out to sound considerably more of a key factor then they likely were. The first half of the book is about three alcoholic drinks (beer, wine and spirits) and the second half about three caffeinated drinks (coffee, tea and Coke). I would say the second half (or 2/3) was more engaging. Overall, clear, straight forward, but uninspired writing. Good reading if you are sitting in an airport. 2 3/4 stars.

This review is from:
Death by Living: Life Is Meant to Be Spent (Paperback)
In this follow up book to his Notes from the Tilt-a-Whirl, N.D. Wilson reminds us that we are all characters in a grand story and most of us are not nearly as important in the grand scheme as we often like to think we are (you don't have to read Tilt-a-Whirl first as each book stands alone). But while we don't get to pick the role we play, we do get to choose how we will play that role. Will you be a hero or a villain, a noble or a petty character? Will you act as if everything is about you or will you open your eyes to see your bit part but choose to play it to the full? Will you be thankful for the part you play or will you go through life bitter and wishing yourself into the lead role of your own little imaginary universe? When you exit the stage, will others say that you played your role whole-heartedly, half-heartedly or hard-heartedly?
Like Tilt-a-Whirl, this book is part personal memoir, part family history, part philosophical reflection, part stream-of-consciousness (sort of) theological meditation, but it is 100% gratitude to God for life, for his gracious working in and through the lives and circumstances that touch each one of us, and a challenge to strip away the lenses we all strap on over our eyes which too often make life mundane and render our hearts ungrateful. I found myself laughing out loud at places where Wilson is recollecting a family trip to Europe with several small children on one hand, and nearly at the point of tears when he recalls a white-knuckled drive through a mountain blizzard through which his wife and children slept peacefully as he slid all over the road between snow banks and guard rails, firing prayers heavenward which alternated between profound gratitude for his family and intense pleas for their safe journey through the storm (I identified with both scenarios).
I found this book a little more jump-aroundy than Tilt-a-Whirl, something which will make it a tad difficult for some readers to follow in places as the author jumps back and forth between thoughts and themes. Also, there is more of Wilson's own experience here than the last book and a little less clarity in places about what point he is making. But if you enjoy well turned phrases springing from a heart of thanks, and if poetic meditations which turn the everyday into the eternally significant float your boat, you won't be disappointed. If you don't enjoy those things, your reading habits need to get out more. Either way, you will benefit from this book.

Jane Austen 101
Jan. 27 2014
This review is from:
Jane Austen (Paperback)
This is a brief, solid, interesting introduction to the life and personality of Jane Austen. It is meant as an "encounter" as the series title suggests, so don't look here for a thorough, minutely detailed biography. This book sets out to introduce the reader to "Jenny" Austen, and that it does quite capably. The reader will come away knowing a good deal about Austen's personality, her family, friends, life experiences, historical and cultural context, her writing career (which began at a very young age), her faith and her very good sense of humour, as well as how she was received and thought of by her contemporaries. For those wanting more detailed info, the footnotes point the reader to a gold mine of other sources. Recommended.

Christian theism vs. Christian humanism and pseudoChristian pantheism
Jan. 1 2014
This review is from:
Between Heaven And Hell: A Dialog Somewhere Beyond Death, JFK, C.S. Lewis and Aldous Huxley (Paperback)
3.5 stars. I have wanted to read this book for years as I think the premise is good and I am a big Lewis fan. This is a three way conversation in an intermediate place - somewhere between this life and the next - between three very important and influential men shortly after their death within hours of each other (C.S. Lewis, J.F.K. and Aldous Huxley). Fictional conversation is not a favourite genre of mine but it is fairly well done here, particularly in its grasp of the topic of debate and the logic of each position (Christian theism, Christian humanism, and Christian pantheism respectively) and in keeping the pace of conversation going. The "voices" of each of the characters don't sound quite as individual and differentiated as one would expect. It is hard to imagine Lewis quoting his own books in a debate much less quoting himself multiple times. Its not so hard to imagine Aldous Huxley doing so. And the conversation doesn't feel truly like a real conversation, as it is without much reference to the lives the three men very recently vacated. One imagines much more illustration from Lewis, and the "real world" pragmatism of Kennedy backed up by examples from his very recent political career. This conversation feels much more like a formal debate in which all three participants have cordially agreed to self moderate and play fair. Also, it feels more like two separate conversations (Lewis and Kennedy first, then Lewis and Huxley) rather than a true conversation in which all three participate simultaneously. Of course that is to be expected in a Socratic dialogue but I just felt it needed a bit more "real life" feel to make it great. Lewis emerges as the far superior intellect, which I think is quite accurate but which I think would have come across not quite as blatantly with two men he didn't know personally. Neither Lewis nor Huxley have many quotable lines in this conversation, which was not the case for these two accomplished wordsmiths in real life and which makes this not feel like its really them speaking. All this is to say that the author's voice tends to have a levelling effect and make the three conversationalist's voices sound too similar and rather flat. So, while the message is quite a fair representation of the positions of the debaters, the medium doesn't quite ring of accuracy. Still, a reasonably good read that is worthwhile.

Tokyo Game Show 2010: The Japanese Verdict
Visitors weigh in on their favorite games, booths, and babes.
The 2010 Tokyo Game Show may already be a distant memory as the game industry ramps up for the holiday season, but to the over 207,000 visitors who packed the Makuhari Messe for four days in mid-September, it was a fairly breathtaking event. Famitsu magazine surveyed 1000 attendees throughout the TGS weekend, and the results (published in this week's issue) tell us a lot about both your average Japanese gamer and what they're looking forward to playing in the future. Some of the highlights:
- The average Tokyo Game Show attendee is a male in his mid-to-late twenties, although a lot of thirtysomethings show up as well. Just over half have full-time jobs; another 24% are students. Over a third said they came by themselves, while the majority were visiting with friends or family. 58.6% said the main draw to TGS was the chance to try out new games, while over a quarter were mainly there for all the free stuff companies were giving out. The great majority (nearly 70%) of TGS attendees are repeat visitors; over a third said they had come to the show five times or more over the years.
- The vast majority of pollees, over three quarters, own both Nintendo DSes and PSPs. 55% have PS3s, 54.4% have Wiis, and just under 30% owned Xbox 360s. When asked which of their systems gets the most play, 31.6% said PSP and 29.8% DS, with the PS3 being the most popular home console. Which system did they plan to buy next? 28.4% said the Nintendo 3DS, while 24.2% are planning a PS3 purchase soon.
- More than half of the visitors Famitsu surveyed said that they purchase at least one video game a month. Nearly 30% said they average between four and five game purchases a month, although these purchases could be anything down to cell-phone games. Despite the highly wired society Japan has become, only a fifth of respondents said they rely mainly on online stores to buy games, the majority still preferring brick-and-mortar game and electronics shops. Around half said at least some of their game purchases are used, while 27% professed to buying nothing but brand-new software.
- 45% of gamers at TGS, according to the poll, play video games for at least an hour a day. How much of that is online? A lot more than it used to be, that's for sure. 54.2% said they frequently play online with their portables, spurred on mainly by how straightforward the process has become on the DS and PSP; that figure was 47.6% for the consoles. It's not all rosy for the online market, though: 45% said that they've never spent any money on extra downloadable content for their games.
- As for TGS itself, it seems clear that Capcom was by far the "winner" of the show in attendees' eyes, chiefly thanks to the new PSP Monster Hunter. Capcom was voted visitors' favorite booth by an extremely wide margin, with Microsoft a distant second; Monster Hunter Portable 3 was also everyone's favorite playable game, followed by Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Level-5's Ni no Kuni. (Remarkably, MHP3 was also voted "best trailer" at the show, followed by Ni no Kuni and Sega's Ryu ga Gotoku Of The End.
- In the all-important "best booth babe" contest, Capcom was voted the winner, followed by (in order) Microsoft, Sega, Level-5 and Konami. "I liked the frilly outfits," one user reportedly said.

Monster HunterPosted: Oct 13, 2010 12:00AM PST by Ogredjinn
Monster Hunter plays better when you have a bunch of friends that can play it together on a regular basis, or a thriving population where you can grab an Ad-hoc game with a stranger. That doesn't work so well here in the U.S. where you're not packed quite so tight, unless you're at a convention or somesuch. I honestly think a console version of Monster Rancher would work better in the States, with a good find-a-group network play. With the added power to bump up the graphics and work on some of the clunky controls, Capcom would have a monster on their hands. <pun fully intended.>

Some of the biggest challenges in preparing self-driving cars for the road have little to do with the vehicles themselves. Worn lane markings, shoddy roads and uneven signage standards make it harder for autonomous cars to figure out where they're headed on many American roads. Poor weather and sunlight at low-angles can also make it hard for cars to discern the path ahead.

Does size matter? It could when it comes to self-driving vehicles and a small new hockey-puck shaped device that, when affixed to a vehicle, shoots out lasers to collect data-mapping points. That data is then used to guide an autonomous vehicle down the road. The size – both of the device itself and the potential price tag – is what's interesting here.

Bad news, Buckeyes. The Ohio Supreme Court just ruled that a police officer needs nothing more than his or her informed guess on how fast a vehicle is traveling in order to issue a traffic citation. Yep. You can forget the radar gun, LIDAR or even the archaic pacing method. As of right now, officers can merely say that you're exceeding the posted speed limit and you'll be stuck with points on your license and a hefty fine to deal with. If that sounds more crooked than a Jersey car salesman, it g

A pair of Pittsburgh Revenue Officers misunderstood the rules surrounding the use of some LIDAR gear loaned to the department for testing and issued a raft of tickets that the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police now has to retract. Apparently LIDAR is only approved for use when teamed with other systems like VASCAR and ENRADD, which measure speed in different ways, and these boys in blue were using it solo. Their mistake instantly invalidates about 650 speeding fines that were issued on account of the l

You haven't worn a suit in years, so you decide to buy one. For weeks wearing one feels like this.
2. An hour later… What's that down your trouser leg? Oh, that's right, a food stain that won't ever come out.
It looks mighty suspicious, so let's not talk about it.
3. You wash clothes, and then you have to do the ironing. But you're not that much of an ironing expert.
5. And do you know how to bleed your radiators? Errrrrrrrrrrr…..? ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMM…..
6. And the prospect of wiring a plug? Terrifying.
7. What else are you guilty of? Oh, that's right. Putting every single thing you own into the dishwasher in one go.
It ends up looking as if it is about to explode.
8. You leave empty bottles next to the shower that you don't replace, for absolutely no apparent reason.
9. Then one day you decide to be a REAL MAN and cook something. You feel really ambitious. You find the most complicated recipe at your disposal…
I am so going to do well at this, you think. I am born to cook.
10. Problem? Your cupboards look like this.
11. Problem? You have no idea what half the ingredients are. You spend four hours in the supermarket.
12. You then cook. You use ALL kitchen equipment.
Cooking it also requires three phone calls to relatives and/or your housemate looking over your shoulder whilst you cook with a concerned facial expression.
13. Then the next day's dinner? Fuck it, I'll have this again.
15. After reading these magazines, how do you feel?
Don't worry. It will be OK. We'll make it.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Could The Cap Hit $52M
by Paul on 06/03/07 at 10:12 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
Slap Shots has been told that the NHLPA is planning to exercise its right under the CBA to request that a full five-percent bump be built into next season's cap. If 2006-07 league revenues come it at $2.36B - Gary Bettman on Monday said he thought the number would be close to $2.4B - a five-percent bump would bring next season's upper limit to approximately $52M.
We've learned that the PA was urged to push the cap as high as possible by, among others, Major League Baseball PA executive director Don Fehr and former NBA union head Charles Grantham during a meeting in Toronto last Monday with members of the NHLPA's current leadership group.

Franklin County Sgt. Steve Pelton vividly recalls his violent encounter 13 years ago with Gary Wenzel, the man who was shot and killed by a Bourbon police officer last week following a high-speed pursuit.
It was Feb. 3, 2001, when Wenzel and Pelton fought on a bluff off of Mill Hill Road east of St. Clair. The fight broke out after Pelton tried to stop and question Wenzel about an earlier incident in which he had thrown a large rock onto the hood of a sheriff's patrol car.

I'm trying to get some iptc metadata from jpg image (http://pepeliana.com/images/DSC4008.jpg) with php. The Title metadata of the referenced image is set to "Testing". I've went through the php manual and both functions that seemed to do the job - iptcparse() and exif_read_data(). Both functions are enabled in php. However for the life of me, I can't figure out, why both functions do not return the desired data. Here is a sample code I've tried and I should also mention that I've also tried this code on several images that have Title iptc metadata (thus excluding the possibility of a corrupted image or improperly set metadata):
$size = getimagesize ('DSC4008.jpg', $info);
if(is_array($info)) {
$iptc = iptcparse($info["APP13"]);
foreach (array_keys($iptc) as $s) {
$c = count ($iptc[$s]);
for ($i=0; $i <$c; $i++)
echo $s.' = '.$iptc[$s][$i].'<br>';
$exif = exif_read_data('DSC4008.jpg', 0, true);
echo $exif['WINXP']['Title'];
As you can see, this is as simple as it gets, yet, I cannot get either to return what I want. Clearly I must be missing something obviously simple, no? Please help!

Results Of Mock Election Court Case
Web Resources
Election law experts last week worked on a mock Supreme Court case involving a contested presidential election: McCain versus Obama.
The scenario: There's a severe Election Day snowstorm in Denver. The Democratic election director extends voting an extra two hours. The Republican secretary of state says that violates state law. The outcome of the presidential race rests on whether votes cast during the extended hours are counted.
Tuesday, the bipartisan panel in the moot court case ruled unanimously for Obama. The judges — former judges in real life — found that extending polling hours in Denver did not deprive voters elsewhere of their equal protection rights. All sides say they hope it doesn't come down to a similar legal dispute in real life.

Another minor but annoying design difference is motor placement relative to the handle: THe Dirt Devil's exhaust blows directly on your hand, whereas the Dustbuster's design places the handle above and in front of the exhaust, so you don't get an irritating warm breeze blowing on you. This isn't a horrible fault, but an example of poor product design. Faced with the same challenge, the Dustbuster's designers came up with a much more elegant solution.
I still use the Dirt Devil - it does perform the basic tasks of a hand-held adequately, if not spectacularly. Its dust bin is easy to empty, and it is convenient to have a second vacuum for kitchen use. But considering that their prices are within a dollar of each other, the Dustbuster is a better choice.
POWER: The BD10045 seems considerably more powerful than the Gator. When I turn it on it jumps in my hand. The Gator is quieter and has less suction, but it is adequate for most purposes.
CONVENIENCE: The BD10045 attaches to a charging fixture that hangs on the wall, whereas the Gator is charged by the typical black box charger that plugs into an outlet. The wall fixture is fine in places like a basement or a garage, but it might look unattractive hanging in a bedroom or kitchen. The Gator, on the other hand, I have tucked away on a shelf in my living room where it is easily accessible but does not detract from the appearance of the room. That is a big advantage.
MISCELLANEOUS: Although the BD10045 is a great vac, the switch that turns it on is less obvious than a big button above the hand grip, the one that opens the unit to empty it. The first time my wife used that vacuum she pushed the big button and dumped a two week accumulation of refuse on the floor. I could hardly blame her, since I'd almost made the same mistake on a couple of occasions. Eventually I put a label - NO! - on the big button. The Gator does not have that problem, and it is easy to empty and/or clean the filter.Read more ›
First off, like many other reviewers have pointed out, the battery life on this unit is pretty bad. Off a fresh charge, it has pretty decent sucking power, but things go downhill pretty fast. After less than 10 minutes, I notice that it starts to wind down. It still vacuums, but at a much lower power; almost to the point where it's barely sucking anything up. This might not be so bad, but considering that it can take up to 24 hours to get a full charge, 10 minutes of good use is pretty bad. Of course, to combat this, they recommend leaving it plugged in or at least fully charging it every month, but I'm not going to remember to charge it regularly and I'm not about to waste electricty leaving this plugged in when I'll only use it 1-2 times a month.
Next, on the matter of suction, I understand that this is a handheld vac, and off a fresh charge, it has some decent suction for its size. However, it seems to work poorly on carpeted or upholstered areas. For example, I tried using this while I shredded old documents, to help clean up any loose bits of shredded paper when I empty the shred bin. In my mind, it performed poorly, barely picking up 3/4ths of the stray pieces on the carpet (if that) and I wound up having to pull out my regular vacuum cleaner to get the rest, which totally defeated the purpose of having this around. I didn't make a big mess, either--it just wouldn't suck up any of the smaller pieces of paper.
Still, all's not lost. I like how easy it is to empty the dust bin and the extending nozzle helps get into crevices on sofas or car seats.Read more ›

The girl was walking or jogging at roughly 8 p.m. when she was approached by two strangers, according King County sheriff's spokesperson Cindi West.
The attackers, who are white men believed to be in their late teens or early 20s, began taunting the girl and calling her names.
The girl told police the men grabbed her, threw her on the ground and tried to pull off her shorts. During the struggle, one of the men stabbed the girl in the leg.
She was able to fight the men off and run away. After running to a nearby friend's house, the girl called 911 and was transported to a local hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
Deputies are now searching for the attackers. One of the men was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and camouflage shorts.
