Right on cue, Tuesday night's MSNBC coverage of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) heaped effusive praise on a team of Black Lives Matter mothers whose sons died in police-involved shootings as a "profound experience" for those in attendance just eight days after they trashed Patricia Smith over a speech about her son's death in the 2012 Benghazi terror attack.
Appearing as a panel member on Tuesday's special edition of Inside Politics, CNN senior political reporter Nia-Malika Henderson warned that "a lot of people" believe that GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump's invocation of "law and order" has a "racist undertone." Moments later, she went on to assert that the election is "all about race in a lot of ways," before backing off slightly by adding that "at least a lot of people think that.
On Tuesday's The View, host Whoopi Goldberg openly admitted that she could care less if the DNC rigged the system, because it was at the expense of "a white guy." After revealing emails broke last Friday showing DNC officials had conspired to defeat Bernie Sanders, the ladies at The View became angry at Sanders supporters disrupting the Democratic Convention with their booing. Whoopi became enraged and ranted that they should be supporting Hillary Clinton because, "[The system] has been rigged against women for years!"
The debate rages on as to whether Donald Trump has remodeled or vandalized the Republican party. In any event, left-wing pundits spent the week gaping at, and writing about, what they viewed as the grotesque spectacle of the RNC. For example, Daily Kos's Hunter opined that the convention was "was barely one step up from an internet-peddled snuff film," and Salon's Heather Digby Parton declared that "all that's left of the 'three-legged stool' of conservatism is the seat — racism, nativism and xenophobia."
Early this week, in an MSNBC interview, Tavis Smiley said that there's far too much attention being paid to "cop killers" and not enough to "killer cops."
Then, in a Tuesday USA Today column, he cast his sympathetic lot with Gavin Long, who killed three Baton Rouge police offices on Sunday before a police sharpshooter killed him. Smiley told readers that we should "Listen to the Baton Rouge police killer." Later in the week, he interviewed Corine Woodley, Long's mother, on his PBS show. Woodley's own words indicated that what caused her son to snap was that he bought into both the lies of the violent Black Lives Matter movement and the left's obsession with "the one percent."
President Obama isn't making relations between black and white Americans worse. Reality is making them worse, contends Bouie, who wrote in a July 15, 2016 piece that "black Americans—and Americans writ large—are reacting to facts on the ground, killings, and other incidents that put racial inequality into stark relief." Bouie claimed that on racial matters, Obama has consistently urged "reconciliation and unity," and that beliefs to the contrary are "nonsense" resulting from "a deliberate miscasting of Obama's rhetoric."
After her MSNBC colleagues determined that Donald Trump's convention speech Thursday night was a message derived from talk radio to "white America" that he would "protect" them, convention co-host Rachel Maddow stated just after the midnight Eastern mark that Trump serves as "a gateway drug" to transforming the GOP into one featuring people like David Duke (and by extension the KKK).
Reacting to Donald Trump's nomination acceptance speech to conclude the Republican National Convention (RNC), Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson and MSNBC's AM Joy host Joy Reid ruled late Thursday that Trump channeled a "conservative talk radio" culture in pledging "to white America" that he would "protect" them from illegal immigrants and secularists.
In Thursday's New York Times, reporter Alexander Burns brought in Walter Mondale, failed presidential candidate in 1984, to bash Trump as a "hate advocate" in "Trump May Break Mold, but He Fits a Pattern, Too." (A Nazi one.) Another aggrieved reporter defended Hillary Clinton from GOP "venom" that had a "strikingly sinister tone that makes the days of Swift-boating and Bush-bashing at past conventions seem tame."
Hollywood Oscar-winner Charlize Theron was selected as the opening ceremony speaker at the 2016 International AIDS Conference this week. In front of thousands of attendees, the South African actress and founder of the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project shared a pretty astounding fact – bigotry is the reason AIDS is still ravaging the globe.
Two days after a tense exchange on MSNBC involving race and American history, American Urban Radio Networks correspondent April Ryan returned to the network's set on Wednesday night to declare her opponent from Monday in Republican Congressman Steve King (Iowa) is "stunted mentally to be honest with you."
Some folks, like Cosmopolitan writer Brittany Cooper, see racism everywhere. Melania Trump's Monday night speech sparked ridicule and outrage from people on both sides of the aisle. Plagiarism is stupid and dishonest, and denying it in the face of evidence is…stupid and dishonest. But for the unhinged Brittany Cooper, any defense of Melania is just another example of white privilege.

WASHINGTON - Following the final races of the Intercollegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) Sperry Top-Sider Women's National Championship, the Hoyas finished 16th of 18 teams to compete for the Gerald C. Miller Trophy. Dartmouth College won the event, held on the Severn River and hosted by the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.
The day started with a short on-shore postponement while the race officials waited for the breeze to fill in. The temperature was in the 60s with cloudy skies. After a set and a half the breeze died again and the teams went in for a long break. By the afternoon temperatures rose to about 70 degrees with more sun in the sky and the winds shifted to the east remaining light and eventually shifted toward the south, stable but light, topping off around five knots.
The A division sailed in Z420s and the B division sailed in FJs. The sailors completed seven races on Friday in both divisions on windward leeward courses with four legs for a total of 17 races in each division for the championship.
The Hoyas totaled 417 points (231 A division, 186 B division), good enough for 16th place over the two-day finals.
Racing will continue with the APS Team Racing National Championship, which will take place from Saturday, May 31 through Monday, June 2 at St. Mary's College of Maryland. Sixteen teams will report at 8:30 a.m. for a competitor's briefing and the racing will follow.

You should not hold for earnings since it could go either directions but mostly down.I bought between $34.20 and $34.50 and I plan to hold most of the shares for $38 and higher. There are over 90% probability that BRCM passes $36 in next few days and 80% to pass $37 in next 2 weeks.Good luck.
Where do your percentages come from? How do you figure?
Put a bunch of weighted factors like share buyback, PE, historical prices, technical, news and so on...The only negative factor is the market that may go negative. However, BRCK will get to $38 and higher in near term.

In my project, I create an image control. I also have a button that, when clicked removes the image.
I set the url of the image to null, and set the image control itself to null. However, not all memory of the Image control is released. If I add more Image controls, my project will be very prone to run out of memory.
- When I start the app: memory usage = 5.218Kb
- When I remove the image control: memory usage = 5.416Kb
How does one release the memory / cache when the control has been removed or loaded again? How can I manage the application's memory?

Green Bay When it finally happens Monday night, when Brett Lorenzo Favre - wearing that purple helmet emblazoned with white horns - breaks the huddle with the Minnesota Vikings and takes his first-ever gander at the opposing defense of the Green Bay Packers, fans of the Green and Gold aren't the only ones who are going to be experiencing a wide range of emotions.
"It will be an interesting moment for me," Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive end Willie Davis said Wednesday. "I think I will have some sense of disappointment, some sense of that's the way things are because it's truly a business.
"If I knew why Brett Favre elected to play with the Vikings, I could probably appreciate it a lot more. I respect his right to do it; I just question what would motivate one to do it. I think in his heart, I truly believe he's a Green Bay Packer and I think when all the things happen to him after football, the Hall of Fame and things like that, he will be stepping up as a Packer.
"I just don't understand why he went to Minnesota."
That seems to be the crux of the issue. That it's the Vikings (of all the gin joints in the National Football League) . . .
"When you switch to the Vikings, that's the one team you hate and hate's a strong word," said LeRoy Butler, a Super Bowl winner with Favre in 1996 and member of the Packers Hall of Fame. "That's the one thing you dislike. You enjoy beating the (Chicago) Bears, it's a great rivalry. But when you play the Vikings - Hatfield and McCoys, that's how it is. All the rules go out. You have to beat them. It's a must-win game. You can live with splitting with Chicago. You can't live and you can't sleep losing to the Vikings.
"It's going to be on every station, if they lose to the Vikings, for four days. I don't want to see that. I don't want to see the four-letter network have Brett's picture up and the lovefest. 'Ah, he's this. He's that. He just loves playing the game.'
"Nope, sorry Brett. You're on the other side now."
The home of Packers Hall of Fame guard Fuzzy Thurston, a member of five championship teams, used to be adorned with three framed Favre photographs - an indication of the close bond Favre and Thurston shared.
The emphasis is on "used to."
Thurston's wife, Sue, took down the frames shortly after Favre signed with the Vikings. Even the one that's personally autographed: "To Sue - From your favorite Packer, Brett Favre. Too bad, Fuzzy."
"It's such a mixed feeling," Sue Thurston said. "I just love the guy, always have, he was my big hero. But I like the Packers, too, and I hate the Vikings. It's just . . . I don't like it. It just makes me sick."
Fuzzy, who has trouble speaking because of his long-ago throat cancer surgery, also isn't handling the idea of Favre awashed in purple very well.
"We really don't bring it up in front of him," Sue said. "He doesn't like it at all. He's very disappointed. He blames both sides."
Thurston's "Run to Daylight" sidekick, Jerry Kramer, doesn't have any trouble letting people know he squarely places the blame for Wisconsin's most famous divorce on general manager Ted Thompson.
"I still feel that the whole Brett thing was handled badly by the people in Green Bay, so I don't blame Brett for wanting to play. I understand that perfectly well," Kramer said.
"That was a decision they made. The Packers decided they did not want Brett back and they let him know that. That's part of the reason he's still playing. I think that anger, that pissed-off, 'I'll show the SOBs.' I think it insulted him a little bit, hurt his feelings a little bit that they didn't want him back.
"Maybe if they would have handled it differently, it might have turned out differently, but I think that's part of the equation and Green Bay made the decision to go on without Brett and bring Aaron (Rodgers) into the picture.
"You can understand the decision. Aaron has certainly carried himself in an exemplary fashion. I mean, you couldn't ask more from a young man on how to handle the crisis situation with dignity and class. I just think Aaron has done a hell of a job and I'm damn sure pulling for him.
"But, again, the Packers made that decision and if that decision was a bad decision, then somebody ought to be called on the carpet and asked, 'Why the hell did you do this?' "
The former Packers are unanimous in the feeling that Favre, no matter what he says, will be out for vengeance Monday night.
"I do believe this is the sole reason why he came back, for this game," said receiver Antonio Freeman, who caught the most touchdown passes (57) from Favre and also starred on the '96 team that won the Super Bowl. "I don't know how you balance the two, but I'm sure he'll find a way."
Said Butler: "I think this is one game Brett wants to win more than anything. If they win this game and they lose six straight, he'll be OK with it. Because the one thing you can't do to an athlete, you can't tell him he's washed up. You can't tell an athlete 'we don't need you.' Every time you do something like that you're throwing wood on the fire. And the wood turns into lighter fluid. Not to mention he can still play.
"But at some point the team had to move on."
Butler also feels the game will be personal for Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy.
"They can be politically correct and say the clichs, how it's just another game and you want to win every game," he said. "No, no, no, no. In the real world, we've got to win this game. Of course they want this game. They want it to say they were right in their decision to go with Aaron."
The former Packers also were unanimous on this point: Green Bay will be coming after Favre as well.
Davis recalled Vince Lombardi's pregame speech before the 1967 Western Conference championship game against the Los Angeles Rams at Milwaukee County Stadium.
"He said to us, 'Well, I just want to just share with you how I feel. This is a game that I truly would like to play myself because I think I'd feel very sure of the result. I think I could play this game with some feelings and distinctions that would be above all,'" Davis recalled.
"I've got to tell you that if I was playing for the Packers in this ball game, I would tell you one thing: In my mind, deeply buried in me, would be a desire to get to Brett. I think the motivation on every play would be to get to Brett. And I can't believe that won't emanate from most of the players. In the interest of winning the game, I would want to get to him, to be in his face and up on him every time he threw the football.
"I feel the same sense about Brett. But there would be no doubt how I would play the game."
And the former players also feel for fans caught in the middle.
"It's kind of like a love affair that went bad," Kramer said. "There are a lot of emotions there. It's not just another person that walked away, it's Brett, whom we all loved and admired and thought the world of, and now he's on the dastardly Vikings.
"The only thing that could be worse for me is the Bears, and I don't know if that would be worse. Brett Favre wearing a Vikings uniform playing the Packers?
"That's about as bad as it gets."

I've got my "We'll never forget you BRENT" T-shirt coming in the mail from Sconnie Nation (www.sconnienation.com) and hope to have it for the game. I'm sure you all have seen it but they also have some other cool ones like "Benedict Brett" and "Brett's WaffleHouse"
My mom bought me one of those cool Mitchell & Ness Blue and Gold throwback jerseys for my birthday 2 years ago just before he defected to the Jets. Even still, I was okay with wearing it b/c it was a nice, expensive gift and something I wanted for several years. However, now that he is with the Vikings, I have a feeling it will be gathering dust in my closet for several years.
My hope is that Adrian Peterson goes down early forcing the ViQueens to rely on the aging arm and poor judgement of back-stabbing Brett. Maybe if we go 2-0 against him this year and then he hangs up his cleats, I'll feel better about wearing it again.....in a decade or so.

Historical Traveler Reviews Dunes Manor Hotel Ocean City
I would stay here again...
Our stay here was in the last week of August. What makes this Hotel above average is the location.. and each room has an amazing view from their own balcony. Your at the quiet end of the boardwalk - which we enjoyed. The staff were mostly helpful & friendly. Housekeeping was 'iffy' The bed linens are in dire need of updating - old thin sheets and a raggy bedspread. We were missing something every day after housekeeping was there, weather it be coffee or wash cloths.. The piano lady and her friends were really fun to see ... they seem to be having a great time at their sing a longs! Overall - would stay here again.
Nice weekend
After reading all of your reviews here, I chose The Dunes Manor. I was very happy with the choice. All of the advice here was right on the money. Good clean hotel. Very quiet and away from the boardwalk.
Perfect for people wanting a nice relaxing beach stay. Slow elevaters, just like everyone said. Not great coffee. Other than that, really a great time. I did not see any other hotel that would fit a couple of adult, quiet seeking people. Thanks to all of you for a wonderful weekend.
Loved it! - August 22, 2003
I had a wonderful time at the Dunes Manor! The hotel is very beautiful and deserves at least a 3 star rating. The hotel has excellent food and the best Long Island Ice Tea's I've ever had! I would highly recommend this hotel. My husband and I have decided to make an annual trip to OC and stay at the Dunes Manor.
Spectacular! Top of the list for me!!!
This lovely, elegant but with an air to the casual and comfortable hotel/inn was the tops!!!!! From the young man that held the door for me upon my late night arrival, to the evening staff all were ever so kind that I thought I was in another world! Thanks to all involved with the comfort and pleasantness of my stay. A special thanks to the wonderful "Piano Lady" of the evening. The sing alongs transport a soul back in time to an era of comraderie and togetherness. Please extend my thanks to all. Oh yes, I'LL BE BACK! Dianne
Above the Rest !
Just spent a week at the Dunes Manor Resort. Very enjoyable. Full service hotel.. which is a rare thing in Ocean City. Nice Victorian Restaurant, Nice indoor bar, & a cool outdoor bar (The Barefoot Bar.) All rooms have Ocean Front Views so no need to worry. Best thing is the location is only 2 blocks north of the Boardwalk.. so you don't have to worry about being in all the crazy Boardwalk traffic, although if you do want to go to the Boardwalk you are only 5 minutes away. Also several restaurants within walking distance. Jolly Roger Amusement Park just across the street for the little ones. The only complaint I can think of is the pool at the hotel was below average... but who cares when the Ocean is so close. Afternoon tea each day is nice, and the Piano playing at night (Wed. - Sunday) is a classy touch. All in all the Dunes Manor Hotel is not your stereotypical Shore hotel. I would definately go back again!
Between above average & excellent - Dunes Manor Hotel
We stayed at the Dunes Manor HOTEL, not the Dunes motel, July 28-August 2. The Dunes Manor HOTEL is a very lovely hotel, clean, right off the beach. I don't know if the beach is private or not, but people must assume it is because it was not crowded. Every room has a nice private balcony with the most beautiful view of the ocean! The afternoon teas serve the best cookies, ice tea, etc. and you can have as much as you want. The lady piano player who is there some evenings, really had the guests singing and having a grand time. The only problems with the hotel were these: 1) the coffee, whether it was your room coffee or the coffee in the hotels restaurants, was absolutely PUTRID. You could dress it up with cream and sugar, but it still didn't taste like coffee. 2) Only two elevators in the place for guests (plenty of service elevators which not even the service people used, for some reason) 3) none of the housekeeping staff spoke english, so we always had to go to the desk to ask for extra towels, soap, shampoo, (they only supplied one small bar of soap, and one small shampoo, period! That doesn't go very far with two children, one being a teenager!) 4) the housekeeping staff never tucked in the bedsheets (must be a custom in Europe!) Other than that, it was fine. The other place I would stay would be the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites, on 17th street, if we couldn't get a room at the Dunes Manor Hotel. I agree with the party who wrote in about the Commander Hotel. I almost booked there based on their internet sight. I've seen it now in person from the outside, and it looks like a DUMP!! Oh, and one other thing: we have stayed in a lot of hotels over the years, and this is the only hotel we've been in that had a grab rail in the bath tub. Excellent safety precaution!
Dunes Manor. Tea and Krumpets.
Two years ago, we stayed at Dunes Manor Hotel for our family vacation.
When we came into our room it was very clean. The air conditioning was very noisy, but seemed to do the job. The outdoor pool was a bit small.
There was "limited" exercise equipment. Tea and krumpets were served daily. The man who was serving the krumpets seemed a bit reluctant to give out seconds, but liked the children and was very friendly with them. The porch with the rocking chairs was a nice place to sit and drink your tea and eat your half of a krumpet the man gave you. Overall the hotel was nice, but our daughter didn't like the victoran setting.
She Said Yes
She said yes......October 21 1996 at 5:10, the sun was setting and she said yes. I always pictured myself perposing to my bride on the beach, it happened at the Dunes Manor Hotel.We found the Dunes Manor Hotel just buy driving down ocean drive. We new nothing of the city having never been there before. The hotel just appeared to be very welcoming. We were very pleased when we checked in after seeing all that it had to offer, especially the beach views from the room as well as the deck with the rocking chairs. The room was very clean and had a microwave and refridgerator. Breakfast the next morning was very good and filling. The Decor of the hotel and rooms is what really sold us. It was very inviting and made you feel very welcome. We were married August 22, 1998 and returned to the Dunes Manor Hotel that October 1998 to remember were it all began. This year (2003) we plan to return to the hotel with our twin girls (2 1/2) and our new 9 mo old baby.The Dunes Manor Hotel has become our special place to return to time and time again.
Great place to stay
We have stayed at the Dunes Manor Hotel for several years and find it to be a great place to stay in Ocean City, MD. All of the rooms have an oceanfront view, the lobby is victorian and has a wonderful decor. There is a nice outdoor deck with rocking chairs for use, there is a midday tea and a wonderful woman plays a piano for sing-a-longs at night.
Our favorite things about this hotel include the fact that it is walking distance to where the boardwalk begins and that it has an outdoor grill right below the hotel where you can order food and drinks and charge it right to your room.
The rooms are better than average for a beach hotel and have always been clean. The rooms also all have a mini refrigerator which is a real bonus if you have children constantly wanting something to drink.
A delightful stay in a "Victorian" Hotel
I recently planned to spend my fortieth birthday in Ocean City, Maryland, a place where I have been enjoying since childhood. I had requested brochures for hotels within my budget, and booked a hotel close to the Dunes Manor. It was disgusting. After looking around, I went to the Dunes Manor, and although it was a little over my budget, it was quite worth it, and made my trip quite enjoyable. The room was elegant; each one has it's own private balcony overlooking the ocean. There's a restaurant and bar in the hotel for your convenience, which we took advantage of for breakfast, very reasonably priced, with good food. They have a Victorian Tea Time, with tea and cookies or crumpets served in the afternoon, where you can relax on the veranda in charming rocking chairs. Later in the week, as we returned from the boardwalk (which is a block away), my 4 y.o. son said "someone turned on the music" - they were having a sing-a-long by the grand piano near the lounge, he played with some new friends while we sat nearby and listened to the music. It was a wonderful time, and I will stay there again.

True Life: Faith, the Assault against Maturity, and Its Political Impact
By Jeff Ziegler
Published May 1, 2002
I am not quite sure what the problem is – a renaissance of Gnostic thought, the corporate effects of positive thinking seminars, selective hearing, the sin nature dulling the senses, or our inbred Pollyanna optimism – but American Christendom is infected with an unbalanced, unrealistic, and utopian view of life. How is it that we so often ignore the vast quantity of Scriptures which depict temptation, tumult, tribulation, pain, and suffering? The Apostle Paul makes more than a few references to the fightings that are within and without. Job, the suffering servant, whose book is perhaps the oldest in Holy Writ, is also the least quoted from the modern pulpit. Any gains of the Hebrew Commonwealth and the Kingdom of Israel were not without great sacrifice and upheaval. The Book of the Acts is replete with dramatic conversions, miracles, persecutions, martyrdom, political infighting, and intrigue—no evidence here of the peaceful mundane. The Master Himself said that "in this world, you will have tribulation." Such tribulation is not confined to physical persecution, imprisonment, or political tyranny. In fact, Scripture places far more weight and stress on our battles with sin, being sinned against, heartbreak, loss, and emotional hardship than it does on political oppression.
In this light, two principles beg to be considered.
Life does not revolve around you. Surprise! It wasn't too long ago that most people, both Christian and non-Christian, understood this salient fact. I'm quite sure that our grandparents, who knew the deprivations of the Great Depression, and the boys on Omaha Beach comprehended this certainty. However, our generation, driven by caprice and selfishness, along with a cult of victimization, seems to believe that every pleasure in life is "owed to them" and that all sorrow, disease, or calamity, should be kept far from them. To compound this problematic childishness, when the modern churchman doesn't get what he wants, he shifts the blame of his every failure to the clergy or to his church. Such whining is reprehensible but is still an obnoxious fact of the moderns. These actions are in the grand tradition of Adam's infamous reference to Eve in Genesis 3:12, wherein all blame for his sin is shifted to the weaker vessel. Yet, it is the "Adamic sin nature" that is remembered and not Eve. To paraphrase C.S. Lewis, life on planet Earth will never b e so good so as to forget the promise of heaven. It's time to grow up and reaffirm this truth.
Faith is more than confession. A cursory glance at Hebrews chapter 11 (the Hall of Fame of Faith) denotes not a litany of confessions, but, instead, a catalog of actions. As James declares, "faith without works is dead." It is too easy to complain and curse the darkness. No faith is required to recognize evil or chafe under its influence. But making a stand, even as a sinful man, this requires faith. Faith is not comprised of false bravado brandished by those who boast in their prowess in a yet future "no-holds-barred" calamity (these are exceedingly rare). Faith, and the acts of faith, are more generally played out in what might be termed "holy monotony." That is, doing your duty—in the church, the workplace, and the community—with consistency and expectation, no matter how difficult or heartbreaking it may be.
Staying on course without immediate reward or recompense was the great signal testimony of the "Father of Faith," even faithful Abraham. He saw the promise far off; yet, it was never fully realized in his lifetime. Such overarching vision guards the heart from selfishness, bitterness, and childish protest.
Certainly, there is nothing profound in these principles. They are part and parcel of a very basic and rudimentary understanding of Christianity. Unfortunately, the longer I spend in the ministry, the more I realize just how great our cultural, social, and moral deprivation is. What was once basic has somehow become enigmatic. I'm reminded of a World War II ballad, "We are poor little lambs who have lost our way…baa baa black sheep."
Clearly, such an immature testimony falls far below the royal pedigree that the Master has secured for us in His own blood. Therefore, we must strive for maturity, shame cowardice, expose the ignoble, agitate against the dishonorable, upbraid the unchivalrous, and put away childish things. That is, life on planet Earth is, at minimum, difficult. It stings! Sometimes beyond imagination. Life is designed by God with a sharp edge, and only the eyes of faith, undergirded by hope, can produce a godly deportment, mature and fully functional, that will give honor to God and eclipse the wailing of victimization or the illusory hope of a pain-free existence.
From a political perspective, the utopian always rides the "back of the tiger" named envy. This has given rise to the cult of victimization leading to Communism, Fascism, and other statist designs. Unless the church first begins the eradication of such thoughts along with the accompanying fads, programs, and pandering, little will be done to rid the political culture of these insidious designs. It was Gen. Douglas MacArthur in his address to Congress who said; "…the political problems of our day are chiefly theological in nature. Only a spiritual revolution can blunt and tame man's passions." Indeed, in order for a new generation of Christian statesmen to arise, pulpits and churchman alike will have to exchange the epistemology of the "belly" for the glory of Christ's Crown. Only then will true national renovation take place.
Rev. Jeffrey A. Ziegler, the president of the National Reform Association, is also founder and president of Christian Endeavors and Reformation Bible Institute, and host of "Christian Statesman Radio." Jeff is also president of The Continental Group, a think tank for political activism, and a Pastor at Shiloh Christian Church in Leroy Township, Ohio.

The Real Jesus: A Defense of the Historicity and Divinity of Christ (DVD)
Who is the Real Jesus?
Ever since the dawn of modern rationalism, skeptics have sought to use textual criticism, archeology and historical reconstructions to uncover the "historical Jesus" — a wise teacher who said many wonderful things, but fulfilled no prophecies, performed no miracles and certainly did not rise from the dead in triumph over sin.
Over the past 100 years, however, startling discoveries in biblical archeology and scholarship have all but vanquished the faulty assumptions of these doubting modernists. Regrettably, these discoveries have often been ignored by the skeptics as well as by the popular media. As a result, the liberal view still holds sway in universities and impacts the culture and even much of the church.
The Real Jesus explodes the myths of these critics and the movies, books and television programs that have popularized their views. Presented in ten parts — perfect for individual, family and classroom study — viewers will be challenged to go deeper in their knowledge of Christ in order to be able to defend their faith and present the truth to a skeptical modern world – that the Jesus of the Gospels is the Jesus of history — "the same yesterday, today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). He is the real Jesus.
Speakers include: George Grant, Ted Baehr, Stephen Mansfield, Raymond Ortlund, Phil Kayser, David Lutzweiler, Jay Grimstead, J.P. Holding, and Eric Holmberg.
Ten parts, over two hours of instruction!
Running Time: 130 minutes

Go Stand Speak (DVD)
With "preaching to the lost" being such a basic foundation of Christianity, why do many in the church seem to be apathetic on this issue of preaching in highways and byways of towns and cities?
Is it biblical to stand in the public places of the world and proclaim the gospel, regardless if people want to hear it or not?
Does the Bible really call church pastors, leaders and evangelists to proclaim the gospel in the public square as part of obedience to the Great Commission, or is public preaching something that is outdated and not applicable for our day and age?
These any many other questions are answered in this documentary.

The Four Keys to the Millennium (Book)
Foundations in Biblical Eschatology
By Jay Rogers, Larry Waugh, Rodney Stortz, Joseph Meiring. High quality paperback, 167 pages.
All Christians believe that their great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will one day return. Although we cannot know the exact time of His return, what exactly did Jesus mean when he spoke of the signs of His coming (Mat. 24)? How are we to interpret the prophecies in Isaiah regarding the time when "the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea" (Isa. 11:19)? Should we expect a time of great tribulation and apostasy or revival and reformation before the Lord returns? Is the devil bound now, and are the saints reigning with Christ? Did you know that there are four hermeneutical approaches to the book of Daniel and Revelation?
These and many more questions are dealt with by four authors as they present the four views on the millennium. Each view is then critiqued by the other three authors.

Why Creeds and Confessions? (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 219 pages
Foundations in Biblical Orthodoxy
Driving down a country road sometime, you might see a church with a sign proudly proclaiming: "No book but the Bible — No creed but Christ." The problem with this statement is that the word creed (from the Latin: credo) simply means "belief." All Christians have beliefs, regardless of whether they are written.
Yet a single book containing the actual texts of the most important creeds of the early Church will not often be found. Out of the multitude of works on the evangelical Christian book market today, those dealing with the creeds of the Church are scarce.
Why Creeds and Confessions? provides a foundation of biblical orthodoxy as a defense against the false and truly heretical doctrines advanced by the spirit of this age.

"The Art of Space Travel" by Nina Allan is a science fiction novelette. In 2047, a first manned mission to Mars ended in tragedy. Thirty years later, a second expedition is preparing to launch. As housekeeper of the hotel where two of the astronauts will give their final press statements, Emily finds the mission intruding upon her thoughts more and more. Emily's mother, Moolie, has a message to give her, but Moolie's memories are fading. As the astronauts' visit draws closer, the unearthing of a more personal history is about to alter Emily's world forever.
Innumerable Voices: The Short Fiction of JY Yang
Innumerable Voices is a monthly column profiling short fiction writers and exploring speculative fiction themes in their many permutations. The column will discuss stellar genre work from both fresh and established writers who don't have short fiction collections or novel-length works, but who actively contribute to anthologies and magazines.Links to magazines and anthologies for each story are available as footnotes. Chances are I'll discuss the stories at length and mild spoilers will be revealed.
If there's one thing to unite all sister genres of the speculative—each vast and unknowable in the entirety of its domain—it's the human body. Flesh and blood, bone and muscle. The simplest of ingredients, containing all the power to decipher the world and an undying preoccupation with storytellers. In growing up and growing old, we learn that our bodies are mutable things, if only by the smallest of degrees. We fear the day we fail to recognize our bodies; exert careful control over appearance and performance; dread the possibility our bodies might betray us, as they often do in small or large ways. For all we've achieved, bodies remain the final frontier.
JY Yang recognizes the potential in the human body as a vessel for storytelling and with a background in genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology, sets forth to seek her own truths.
The Fog in the Trees: Interviewing Warren Ellis About Normal
Our friends at FSG Originals are publishing Warren Ellis's new novel Normal in four weekly digital installments. The third installment was released this past Tuesday and is available wherever e-books are sold. Each week, Tor.com will host a discussion between Warren and a new writer about that week's episode. This week, it's Geoff Manaugh, author of BLDGBLOG and A Burglar's Guide to the City.
Normal, of course, is not a normal novel. Warren Ellis, already widely known for cracking open genres, characters, and storylines to find other, more aggressive, and stranger things within, has set his eyes on something rather calmer. Or so it seems.
Strangers, forced to adapt to one another in a confined setting, a research complex built to function more like a convalescent home, rapidly realize that fate has taken them somewhere much harder to fathom than the world they've left behind. It is a small circle of voices—a string quartet of often bleak, and certainly very raw, personalities, leading each other both into and out of disharmony.
Normal drops us off at an elusive psychological research institute, tucked away in an experimental forest near the Oregon coast, where the insects—and the buildings themselves—are not what they seem. Limiting my focus to part three of the novel, I asked Warren about setting, human agency, and the book's satirical take on cities of the near-future.
24: Trial by Fire Sweepstakes!
We want to send you a galley copy of Dayton Ward's 24: Trial by Fire, available August 23rd from Tor Books!
Before London… Before CTU… Before the clock started ticking…
1994: Tateos Gadjoyan, an Armenian arms merchant, has been a target of the Central Intelligence Agency for years. Efforts to thwart his selling of American military weapons to terrorists and other enemies of the United States have been unsuccessful. Now, after months of careful planning, two undercover agents have infiltrated Gadjoyan's inner circle. Soon, they will have sufficient evidence to seize the arms dealer and remove a clear and present danger to the United States.
On the small Japanese island of Okinawa, Gadjoyan's representatives are concluding a deal with Miroji Jimura. Jimura's hatred of Americans is absolute, and he's only too happy to profit from sales of their own weapons to be used against them. When a rival of Jimura's sabotages the arms deal, one of the CIA's undercover assets is killed, threatening the case against Gadjoyan and revealing a far greater menace to American security. The only thing standing against this new, immediate danger is a single, junior CIA agent named Jack Bauer.

The Dala Horse
This August, look for Not So Much, Said the Cat from Tachyon Publications. This new collection from Michael Swanwick takes a feline turn—prowling the pages with grace, precision, and utter impertinence. The master of short science fiction takes us on whirlwind journeys across planets, time, and space, where magic and science co-exist in endless possibilities. Swanwick's spectacular offerings are intimate in their telling, galactic in their scope, and delightfully-sesquipedalian in their verbiage.
You'll find time travelers from the Mesozoic partying 'til the end of time, and a calculus problem that rocks the ages. A supernatural horse-guardian journeys with a confused but semi-repentant troll. A savvy teenage girl wagers against the Devil, and is promptly set upon by the most unsuitable of suitors. And of course, you'll meet Beelzebub the cat, whose subtle influence may not be entirely benign…
We're pleased to encore "The Dala Horse," a Tor.com Original story originally published in June 2011, now reprinted in the Not So Much, Said the Cat. Long after the wars, there are things abroad in the world—things more than human. And they have scores to settle with one another…
Romancing the Throne: Revealing Skullsworn by Brian Staveley
The Chronicles of the Unhewn Throne is over, for the moment, but the world Brian Staveley created in the course of said series is the kind of gift that keeps on giving. You don't have to take my word for it, folks—just see Skullsworn: a standalone prequel starring Pyrre, the priestess who played such a pivotal role in The Providence of Fire, as she returns to the city of her birth to earn her stripes as an assassin under the auspices of Ananshael.
Staveley himself revealed the unutterably lovely North American cover here on Tor.com a couple of months ago, but for its publication in the UK, designer Matthew Garrett was tasked with creating a look that would link back to the British editions of the aforementioned trilogy—all of which featured swords and borders—at the same time as suggesting Skullsworn was something new, something that could potentially be read by any and all interested parties as opposed to only those who've completed The Chronicles of the Unhewn Throne.
[What Garrett came up with ticks both of those boxes, I believe.]

Reconnecting With Fantasy, Thanks to Two Mercenaries and Their Very Cranky Client
I used to have a real problem with fantasy. Not as an idea—I love The Lord of the Rings movies and Alan Garner books get me through adolescence—but as an investment of time. I felt, for a long time, that there was no fantasy I could read that wasn't 15,000 pages long, did not have a cast of hundreds, and that required at least one degree in medieval history to really get.
I am absolutely delighted to discover just how wrong I was.
This Blue Milk Ice Cream Will Help You Defeat both the Empire and the Heat Dome!
Are you currently a melting, overheated mess, blinded by the glaring light of the outdoors, shaking your fist at the hellish Daystar before scurrying back into shade and/or air conditioning? If so, it's entirely possible that this R2 unit could be of some assistance, because this is a blue milk ice cream R2-D2.
Nerdist shared the recipe, which uses regular, Earth-based cow's milk so you don't even have to worry about wrangling a Bantha. While they used an Artoo mold, we're thinking a frozen Han Solo might be more appropriate… or, if you prefer the full ice cream cone experience, you can always make mini Death Star-shaped scoops.

A Space Unicorn Tale: The REAL Story Behind the Creation of Uncanny Magazine
In 2014, we told you about the long history of Uncanny Magazine, starting with its pulp magazine origins in the 1930s. Then in 2015, we spun the tale of the future history of Uncanny Magazine, going a million years into the magazine's future.
Reader, we lied. A lot.
The biggest lie of all, though, is on every cover of Uncanny—right at the bottom.
Editors-in-Chief Lynne M. Thomas and Michael Damian Thomas have nothing to do with creation of each issue. They're not even real people, just actors who go to conventions and podcast a little.
It's time to reveal the truth. The truth that has been hiding in plain sight the whole time.
Black Mirror Season 3 Will Give You Nightmares About Social Media and Video Games
What's that creeping sense of existential dread? It's the knowledge that Black Mirror season 3 comes to Netflix October 21! At the Television Critics Association press tour, Netflix shared not only the release date, but also episode titles, stars, and directors… including the surprising information that Parks and Recreation creator Michael Schur and Rashida Jones co-wrote one of next season's episodes.
Stranger Things — Coming Soon to Videocassette?
Instagrammer Steelberg gives recent horror and other SFF flicks the throwback treatment, repackaging them with glorious retro VHS covers to fit seamlessly between your worn out copies of The Hills Have Eyes and Poltergeist. Not surprisingly, Steelberg has added Netflix's hit series Stranger Things to the set! The series itself pays homage to pulp paperbacks of the '80s (complete with a glossy title font and "chapters" in lieu of episodes), and Steelberg's version pumps up the neon colors and adds extra detailing—like the Goonies-style lettering and the torn video rental stickers—to really complete the retro look. My only quibble: I doubt all 8 hours of season one would fit on a single videocassette tape…
Check out Steelberg's Instagram for more great VHS mock-ups. And if you're looking for more on Stranger Things, look no further than Alasdair Stuart's non-spoiler review of the series!
Animation as War Propaganda: Disney's Victory Through Air Power
As the United States entered World War II, Disney was in major financial trouble. A bitter strike had forced the company to raise salaries and make other financial concessions just when the company could least afford it. Three lavishly animated, expensive feature films—Pinocchio, Fantasia and Bambi—had flopped at the box office. The war had cut off access to most European movie theatres. The decision to make Bambi, based on a book banned by the Nazis, ensured that Disney would not have access to movie theatres in Nazi controlled areas for the foreseeable future. To make ends meet, the company started making training films for the U.S. military, making barely enough money to keep its doors open. The profits from Dumbo swiftly vanished.
[Naturally, Walt Disney figured that this would be a GREAT time to release another film with limited popular appeal!]

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Novartis is to plough $1 billion into the construction of a new Novartis Institute for BioMedical Research in Shanghai (CNIBR) and another $250 million into a global technical center for APIs in Changshu, China.
The five-year Chinese investment plan will involve moving and expanding Novartis' existing CNIBR, which is situated in Zhangjiang High-tech Park, to a new campus in Shanghai. Once completed, the new facility is expected to be Novartis' third largest R&D center worldwide, behind its facility in Cambridge, MA, and headquarters in Basel, Switzerland.
Activities at the new CNIBR will span analytics and biomarkers, in vivo pharmacology, protein production, characterization and scale-up screening, chemistry and proteomics, along with genomics and imaging. The facility will employ an estimated 1,000 R&D staff compared with the 160 R&D associates at the current CNIBR site.
The $250 million investment in a new global technical center for APIs in Changshu, meanwhile, will be used to establish complementary activities focused on technical R&D and manufacturing. By locating both activities at a single site, Novartis hopes to enhance API process development and operational efficiency.
The company believes its investments in China will extrapolate to new drugs for patients both in China and in other countries. "We are pleased to contribute to the Shanghai government's aim to establish the city as the premiere R&D center for China's bio-medicine industry by 2012," comments Daniel Vasella, Ph.D., chairman and CEO.
The Chinese government recently announced it will spend some $124 million over the next three years to bolster the nation's health system, Novartis points out. The government also aims to make affordable, basic medical services available to its entire population by 2020. Novartis aims to support this health reform by sharing knowledge and best practices.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?
