Refreshing, Provocative, and Inspiring,
This review is from: The Secret Message of Jesus: Uncovering the Truth that Could Change Everything (Hardcover)
The provocative title alone is enough to grab one's attention. In fact, I have been reading scathing reviews/criticism of the title for weeks on other sites written by people who haven't even read the book. I guess I'm a little different. I felt that I should probably actually read the book before I presumed to comment on it (crazy, I know). Now, having read the the book ), I'll share my thoughts on what I have (actually) read.
I'll begin my admitting my bias. I have been looking forward to this book. McLaren's work has been a blessing to me and has reinvigorated my faith. That being said, introduction is vintage McLaren. On every page I was struck with the sense of "I'm not alone," and "I'm not crazy". He beautifully articulates thoughts and feelings that I've been having for years. Has Christianity in it's most popular forms somehow missed or lost the major thrust of Jesus' message and elevated other things, which though important, were never meant to have the prominence they now enjoy?
Chapter 1 is titled "Troubling Questions About Jesus". It begins with almost 2 full pages of questions about Jesus and his message that will indeed trouble you if you will actually consider them. They are not however the kind of questions that critics would accuse him of asking. From the title, many are assuming that McLaren is promoting a Gnostic view of Jesus. This is most assuredly not the case. The divinity of Jesus is quite firmly upheld and affirmed. What is questioned is our perceptions and understandings. McLaren asks "What if Jesus of Nazareth was right--more right in different ways than we ever realized? What if Jesus had a message that could truly save the world, but we're prone to miss the point of it?" This chapter is a very useful exercise in thought for those who are willing to go through it.
Chapter 2 is on "The Political Message of Jesus". In in, McLaren outlines the 4 major "political parties" of Jesus' day (Pharisees, Saducees, Zealots, Essenes), and then compares and contrasts Jesus' message/methods with theirs. It is quite an informative exercise with far reaching implications that branch into our own day and culture.
Chapter 3 explores "The Jewish Message of Jesus". This chapter brings to mind the work of N.T. Wright (particularly "The New Testament and the People of God"), though it is done in a more accessible way than Wright's scholarly work. McLaren has certainly done his homework. This background is absolutely key to understanding Jesus and his message in context. I am genuinely excited about the release of this book so that this type of contextualization will be available in such a readable form.
Chapter 4 examines "The Revolutionary Message of Jesus." It begins with a summary of the story of scripture very similar to the one presented in "The Story We Find Ourselves In". Some may consider this to be rehashing old material, but I find it to be quite necessary for the argument McLaren is building and appreciate it's inclusion here. This chapter also includes a nod to eschatology that is strikingly different from the "Escapist" eschatologies that are currently enjoying popularity. Without giving away too much, the "revolution" that the title refers to is eschatological in nature and the implication is that Jesus and his followers were/are revolutionaries moving toward that end.
Chapter 6 is titled "The Hidden Message of Jesus", and begins by examining the fact that Jesus messages weren't overtly religious. His teaching honestly can't be extolled for it's clarity. Jesus was often quite vague. McLaren raises the question, "What could possibly be the benefit of Jesus's hiddenness, intrigue, lack of clarity, metaphor, and answering questions with questions? Why risk being misunderstood--or not understood at all? If the message is so important, why hide it in evocative rather than technical language?" Why indeed?
McLaren will surprise his critics in a few instances, (though I'm sure they will dismiss it because they presume to know what he "really means"). For example, on page 6 he states, "A lot of people say, 'It doesn't matter what you believe, as long as you are sincere.' I'd like to challenge that belief. Believing untrue things puts you at odds with reality, and can prove downright destructive." That's not quite the relativist statement you would expect from reading his critics. He also notes the contemporary fascination with the "Gnostic Gospels" and "The Davinci Code". He wonders how we could have reached a point where the Jesus presented in those so called accounts could seem more interesting to some people than the Jesus presented in the canonical gospels. He suggests that a benefit from all this hype is that, while those accounts themselves are misleading, they could force us to consider "the possibility that the church's conventional versions of Jesus may not do him justice."
To be totally honest with you, I keep thinking "This is the book I wish I had written." Let's get in to section 2:
Part 2 is called "Engagement: Grappling With The Meaning of Jesus's Message"
Chapter 6 explores "The Medium of the Message". In this chapter, McLaren examines Jesus use of "parable". What could possibly be the benefit of trying to advance this radical message in short, seemingly irreligious stories? He also takes a closer look at the string of parables found in Matthew 13. I really appreciated Brian's insight in this chapter. I think his background in Literature really pays off here.
Chapter 7 is titled "The Demonstration of the Message". Here McLaren tackles the subject of Miracles. Why did Jesus perform them? Did it have anything to do with his message? McLaren also looks at worldviews here. Did God just set the world in motion, to run on its own...and are miracles when he reaches in from a distance and "fiddles with the gears"? Is there another way to look at miracles other than when a generally uninvolved God decides to intervene?
Chapter 8 deals with "The Scandal of the Message". What were/are the powers and principalities that Jesus was trying to overturn. How does his message combat them. Demons, possession and the like also get some discussion in this compelling chapter. McLaren actually tries to find some common ground for people who believe in literal demons and those who don't. It is a very interesting and compelling take on the subject.
In Chapter 9, McLaren explains that "You Can't Keep a Secret". Here, he tackles "The Great Commission". He even integrates the differently worded versions of it from the different gospel writers into a single paraphrased account. What exactly was the mission that Jesus laid out for his followers. Over the years, have we begun to miss the point of it?
I loved chapter 10. It's called "Secret Agents of the Kingdom". McLaren says, "Too often, when the story of the movement of Jesus is told, most of the focus is on the religious professionals. But what if their role is at best minor? What if the real difference is made in the world not by us preachers, but by those who endure our preaching, those who quietly live out the secret message of the kingdom of God in their daily, workaday likes in the laboratory, classroom, office, cockpit, parliament, kitchen, market, factory, and neighborhood?" This chapter is positively inspirational. I admit I wiped a couple of tears.
Chapter 11 is called "The Open Secret". In this brief chapter, McLaren deconstructs the argument of Christianity v/s Paulianity that is being promoted by some these days. He points out many of the places where Paul overtly speaks of "the Kingdom" (Jesus central message), and then discusses why Paul doesn't just repeat the ideas that Jesus taught and uses different terminology. He also talks a good bit about "inclusion" here.
In Chapter 12, McLaren talks about "Hiding the Message in New Places". He explores how Paul found new ways to communicate the message of Jesus, like subverting Caesar's political propaganda and putting Jesus in Caesar's place. Again, the I am reminded of the work of N.T. Wright, though, as before, it is presented here in a much more accessible form. Brian also points out that while Paul doesn't use parables, he does use stories, including his own to spread the message.
Chapter 13 was a surprise to me. He titles it "getting it, Getting in". Here, McLaren delivers a beautifully fresh take on "the Plan of Salvation", (yes, that plan of salvation). I really can't describe to you how I felt when I read this chapter. "Hope" I guess gets closest to what I felt.
Section 3 is titled "Imagination: Exploring how Jesus's secret message could change everything".
Chapter 14: "Kingdom Manifesto"--In this chapter, McLaren walks us through "The Sermon on The Mount". If one buys into Jesus' "Secret Message", what does that mean for the way they live their life? McLaren sees this passage as being key to answering that question. He explains:
"I should acknowledge that many people assume the sermon intends to answer one question--namely, 'How does an individual go to heaven after death?' This was my assumption as well for many years, but as I have reflection the life and message of Jesus, I have become convinced that Jesus is exploring a very different set of questions--namely, 'What kind of life does God want people to live? What does life in the kingdom of God look like? What is a truly good (or righteous) life? How does this message differ from conventional messages?' Rather than directing our attention to life after death in heaven, away from this life and beyond history, these questions return our focus to the here and now--and in so doing, they provide an essential window into Jesus' secret message."
Chapter 15: "Kingdom Ethics"--Here, McLaren continues his exploration of the "Sermon on the Mount", looking specifically at "spiritual practices" and character. This is a really challenging chapter. I don't mean that its tough to read or that its tough to understand. It's quite simple in those areas actually. I mean it will challenge you at a deeply personal level. He asks deeply penetrating questions dealing with the way we tend to center our lives around the "unholy trinity of money, sex and power", and then points to 3 ways that Jesus message combats this tendency"
Chapter 16: "The Language of the Kingdom"--This is a great chapter. McLaren points out that the wording of the message of Jesus was not crafted in a vacuum. Jesus message was constructed in language that was relative to the time and culture in which he originally delivered it. (Note: The language of the message is relative, not the message itself). Jesus used the term "Kingdom of God" because that phrase evoked certain images in the minds and hearts of his listeners...images that are almost certainly NOT evoked in the minds and hearts of 21 Century Americans (or anyone else in the world for that matter). Here McLaren explores 6 metaphors that he sees as "have(ing) a lot of promise" for helping us to hear the message as the first listeners would have. In my opinion, what he comes up with here is brilliant.
Chapter 17: "The Peaceable Kingdom"--In this chapter, McLaren explores the theme of peace or Shalom in Jesus' message. He explores pacifism and "just war theory", giving plenty of room for different convictions, but asking challenging questions, none the less. This one will make you think.
Chapter 18: "The Borders of the Kingdom"--Here, McLaren explores the ideas of inclusion and exclusion. He advances the idea that it's inclusiveness is one of the main things that makes Jesus' message so revolutionary. Even so, Brian makes a point to also maintain that some exclusiveness is, in fact necessary (much to the surprise of his critics, I'm sure). He says:
"If the kingdom of God were a symphony, it would welcome anyone who had a desire to learn to play music--from tuba player to piccolo players, from violinists to percussionists. It would accept beginners and master musicians, probably by pairing up the novices with mentors who could help them to learn. But it could not welcome people who hated music or who wanted to shout and scream and disrupt rehearsals and concerts; that would ruin the music for everyone and destroy the symphony. True, it would try to influence music haters to become music lovers, but it couldn't accept them into the symphony until they wanted to be there because of a love of music."
Chapter 19: "The Future of The Kingdom"--In this chapter, McLaren explores what I have referred to elsewhere as a "restorationist eschatology". If that last sentence didn't make any sense to you, he's basically discussing what's commonly referred to as "end times" in many Christian circles. This however is not the philosophy of the "Left Behind" books. This is a Biblically based Eschatology of hope. It's a view in which God doesn't just give up on his dream for the world in Genesis 3, but rather sees God as working toward the "restoration" or "renewal" of "all things". In this view the project is actually going somewhere (other than oblivion). It also explores the idea that our afterlife consists not of disembodied bliss in a nonmaterial heaven, but rather a resurrected, embodied existence in a Re-newed Creation. If you've never explored these ideas before, I beg you to read this. It will give you hope like you've never known.
Chapter 20: "The Harvest of the Kingdom"--"But what about 'heaven'?" one might ask after reading the previous chapter. Here, McLaren explores that very Biblical idea as well and how it fits into the picture.
Chapter 21: "Seeing the Kingdom"--In this final chapter, McLaren explores what N.T. Wright refers to as the "already and not yet" aspect of the kingdom. In scripture, the Kingdom is referred to as both a present and future reality. Most of us don't have that hard of a time thinking of it as a future reality (though we aren't quite sure how it will get there). On the other hand, when we look around at the world we live in, we see so many things that are out of harmony with God's will and Jesus' message. McLaren maintains that there are many places where the kingdom is breaking through, if you know how to look for it, and explores how we can do exactly that. This chapter included a quote from Frederick Buechner that actually brought tears to my eyes.
The book ends with 3 short appendicies. Normally I wouldn't review appendicies, but these are quite good and worth mentioning.
Appendix 1: "The Prayer of the Kingdom"
Here McLaren explores "the Lord's Prayer". He mentioned it earlier in the book, but here he gives it a more thorough treatment by breaking it down and discussing what each part of it might mean (particularly given it's historical context). This is generally an excellent treatment, and quite valuable in the discussion.
Appendix 2: "Why Didn't We Get It Sooner?"
Here, McLaren anticipates a criticism and answers it. He notes that most of the scholars and theologians he has referenced are contemporary. He then recognizes that some might wonder if what he's proposing is actually in the text or if its being read into the text. If this has always "been there", then why is it noticably absent from much of the scholarship of church history. If this is true, then why does it seem so new to most of us. McLaren offers 8 factors that help to answer exactly these questions. One may anticipate a "cop-out" here, but that certainly isn't what he delivers. McLaren's 8 factors are quite thought provoking indeed, and not easily dismissed. I think it was very wise for him to address these issues here.
Appendix 3: "Plotting Goodness"
This is McLaren's "Now what?" chapter. If you buy this stuff, what can you do with it? He simply offers some suggestions for how you might proceed. These few pages are very practical and I hope that many take him up on them.

TO Adam Ellis: I have been looking for Kingdom living Believers for a long time. Not the Once Saved, go off and lead your life and Produce Fruit People, but People who get up and walk in the Kingdom on a daily basis BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT JESUS PREACHED. Yes, Salvation was also a part of the message and as "It is all about me" people, that is what we love, but there is morek...a whole KINGDOM more. I want the Kingdom. I hope this book gives voice to the answers I try to create, then relate. It is an ongoing hope and if I find it, I will come back and say so...that is God willing. Thank you for your Excellent Review. It was NOT too long. It was mind expanding and I am grateful for the info.

"This Saturday, four groups will take the stage in downtown Asheboro's Bicentennial Park, where the 18th annual Relay for Life begins with a color guard and national anthem at 3:55 p.m., followed by the opening ceremony and Survivor Lap at 4. Asheboro's own Southbound 49 kicks off the sound show at 4:20 p.m. "We want our team members, who've worked hard every year, and our cancer survivors to have entertainment they just can't see every year," said Ron Bennett, who oversees entertainment as a member of the Relay for Life committee. He describes Southbound 49 as "a good bunch of boys — and they're really talented." Wilson said the band has performed at the Randolph Relay before, and a time or two at a Chatham County Relay held in Siler City, and they never take money.

Cool Unisex NBA Oklahoma City Thunder Beaniess s
One accessory that too many males brush off as they see it as too garish is the hat or cap. In making a homemade seafarer hat, consider the adhering to steps that will help you produce a regular and also fundamental looking sailor hat. Open up the hat and also suit it on in any way you desire to. You currently have a paper made sailor hats. You could now include decorations such as bows, put it on both sides to illustrate a normal seafarer hat used by navies. Once you will certainly be adjusted in making a paper seafarer hat, as well as you are versed in running a sewing device, you could try on making textiles seafarer hats. People tend to just shop when it's a necessity, so surprise him with a brand-new sweater, coat, sunglasses, watch, belt, hat or other clothing thing that you think he would truly enjoy.
This saggy take on the fabric hats put on by anglers along the boat dock tackles an entire brand-new classy side when styled with a child in mind. These hats could come in a range of shades from tan to blue as well as from prints to bold shades as well as companion well with every clothing making a statement when your youngster puts it on their head.
The reason that is that curly q beard which would certainly look hilarious to those obtaining the opportunity to see it. Additionally including in the convincing appearance is the narrow, yet long Santa hat which would enhance the fantastic look of the design. For Jack Skellington fans it's a slight plus, as well as for those that uncommitted in either case, it's not intrusive to the factor where it would certainly interfere with the cool and also amusing element of the Santa hat. For those of you wondering what it is that makes these hats almost a little different, it's the inclusion of something in the hat that allows to stand up or out in the different looking style.
This moment they wore high white hats to assimilate with clergy (that wore light grey), enabling them to safely leave job and desert to a church. He also standardized the double-breasted coat (you can re-layer the front and undo when it gets bespattered) and also high white toque, along with different hats for different terminals in the cooking area. Consequently, you will get lots of choices to buy the best caps online.
Tale has it Careme's hat was 18 inches high, stiffened with cardboard inside, and sported all ONE HUNDRED creases. The outfit put on by these cooks was still similar as in Careme's day, however Escoffier's perspective assisted to turn the attire into something individuals valued, not simply an inebriated functioning man's clothing that happened to include a comical hat (we'll get back to hats soon). This write-up comes to you thanks to Culinary Classics, Chicago-based maker of Cook Hats and other handcrafted chef clothing. There are a couple of specialty shops that sell Safari outfits and also gears and also such hats are readily available.

Soros Gives $1 Million to Back California Marijuana Legalization
Billionaire investor George Soros gave $1 million to support passage of marijuana legalization in California a week before the election, after polls showed the proposal losing steam with likely voters.
"Regulating and taxing marijuana would simultaneously save taxpayers billions of dollars in enforcement and incarceration costs, while providing many billions of dollars in revenue annually," Soros, chairman of Soros Fund Management LLC, wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed article today.
Soros donated $1 million to the "Drug Policy Action Committee to Tax and Regulate Marijuana - Yes on Prop. 19," according to a filing posted on the California Secretary of State's website. Soros's spokesman, Michael Vachon, confirmed the contribution.
Proposition 19, a referendum on the Nov. 2 ballot, would make it legal for Californians over 21 to possess and grow pot for personal use. The measure has lost ground, with 51 percent of likely voters opposed, to 39 percent in support, according to a University of Southern California/Los Angeles Times poll Oct. 22. A May survey showed backers leading, 49 percent to 41 percent.

Slow PunctureLast updated at 12:01AM, March 26 2016
The government is neglecting its promises to cyclists
An aircraft safety expert who caused a crash that killed a record-breaking cyclist has been spared jail.
Andrew Mylrea, a Rolls-Royce aero-engine Associate Fellow, hit Patrick Kenny, 72, at about 60mph as the victim cycled along the A38 slip road near Burton upon Trent.
The BMW driver, 46, from Stretton, Staffordshire, was convicted of causing death by careless driving at Stafford Crown Court.
Banning him from driving for five years, Judge Simon Tonking told him: "This is not a case for a custodial sentence. This was a complete aberration."
"Your carelessness was failing to see Mr Kenny and his bicycle."
He has been banned from driving for 12 months and, ironically, now himself faces regular bicycle rides along the A38 to work in Derby.
Mylrea was facing five years in jail but, during sentencing at Stafford Crown Court, Judge Simon Tonking told him: "This is not a case for a custodial sentence, I don't think a custodial sentence would do anyone any good.
"I accept you are normally a careful and considerate driver. This was a complete aberration.
"Your carelessness was failing to see Mr Kenny and his bicycle."
Mr Kenny broke the Land's End to John O'Groats cycling record in 1980.
Mylrea, of Stretton, Staffordshire, was driving home with his car laden with goods bought during a shopping trip.
David Mason QC, defending, said: "Mr Mylrea has always accepted he caused the death of Mr Kenny, the issue was whether it amounted to criminality.
"Since the jury's verdict, he's had time to reflect. He has genuinely taken this very badly — not the conviction, but the loss of Mr Kenny."
Mr Mason said that Mylrea was an expert on aero-engines, an Associate Fellow with Rolls-Royce with a high pressure job which took him on average on 30 foreign trips a year.
He added: "One of the ironies in this case is he is going to have to rely on his bicycle more than he's ever done before.
"Many are the days he is going to have to cycle up the A38 to Derby."
Hugh O'Brien-Quinn, prosecuting, said Mr Kenny's widow Hazel and her daughters had made victim impact statements expressing their devastation and lasting effects on them.
As well as the driving ban, Judge Tonking sentenced Mylrea to a community order, under which he must also perform 150 hours of of unpaid work and pay £3,500 costs.
The judge noted something that a member of Mr Kenny's family had said, that 'it's not so much that he made a mistake, but that he would not acknowledge it'.
Judge Tonking said: "I note from the pre-sentence report he has now acknowledged that he was in error."This is for everybody a tragic case.
"I don't wish, by what I have said or the sentence I impose, to give the impression the sentence is any measure of the value of Mr Kenny's life.
"He was obviously a man with great qualities, much loved by all."

The Oakley Airbrake is the best goggle out there, hand down. Now with the Prizm technology it's going to be on a entire new level. I have Prizm in my sunglasses and it truly is noticeable how much more clear everything is.

Best goggles. Hands down. Well worth the money!
Donald (Wales )
Fits great and changes out easily. Durability after certain crashes or frame manipulations could be better, but for $10.00 per lens I don't expect them to last forever. Overall, great product! I do like most of Oakley's products however.
Moto (Fargo )
Ordered the small/medium in this hat, because that's what I wear for every other hat I've ever wore and it fit like a large/extra large. It wasn't even close to true fit. I bought a different Oakley hat in a s/m and it was perfect. For some reason it's this specific hat that I had the trouble with...

Having sold Oakley sunglasses for a few years, and knowing the research and technology that goes into every product they make, it was really a no-brainer. These are the best goggles you can get at this price point!

Cough, splutter, sniff, nose wipe, BOOM...eating disorder? Surely not. While the general consensus has always been that anorexia and bullemia are a little more complex than the common cold, recent studies suggest new parallels which indicate that, like your snotty nose, eating disorders might be somewhat contagious...could this be true?
Before I became a parent I was a fully paid up member of the right on- politically correct brigade. If asked, I would have said I was determined to bring up my children free to embrace whatever interested them, be it maths and science experiments for a girl or fashion and cookery for boys. But it hasn't quite turned out that way.
This would inform people, spark an interest from a young age, and give a scope for creativity that is not currently present, without forcing people to solely study fashion. I am not putting other arts down, I am trying to bring fashion up to a similar position, and it is my belief that, with these changes in attitude and procedure, this is a very real possibility.
Last week the Edinburgh University Sports Union ran a campaign encouraging women to be active, celebrating female sporting and athletic achievement. The name of the campaign was 'This Edinburgh Girl Can'. Whilst the underlying sentiment is undeniably a positive one, the use of "girl" to describe young women is intensely problematic, and indicative of a wider infantilising and belittling of women in our society.

Sometimes business owners focus far too much on attracting new business, when often the easiest customer to attract is someone who has already been a customer. If you have a quality product or service and can incentivise repeat business strategically then attracting business becomes a lot easier.
This week we're talking to Sandra Gray from Sand Dunes Resort on the Sunshine Coast, Sandra has been running Sand Dunes Resort for over 10 years now and has built a strong business based mostly off repeat customers. Every year her resort is packed full and the large majority of them are customers who return each and every year for their holiday.
This makes her marketing efforts so much easier… after all, attracting new business can be hard in a competitive landscape.
Sandra has implemented a great rewards program rewarding people who come back time and time again to stay at the resort, giving them healthy discounts when they return for another stay. This coupled with a great resort, awesome beachfront location and amazing staff makes the customers not even think twice about their next holiday accommodation, they're going straight back to Sand Dunes.
This is possible with a lot of businesses and far too often I see businesses spending big money and lots of time trying to attract new business when they have a huge database of customers who have previously experienced their product/service who would be easy to get them to come back for more with the right offer.
Think about this next time you're trying to attract new business and you're getting out your wallet to do so…

My daughter lives in Kailua. On a recent trip from Maui where we live we went to Lanikai Beach to go paddle boarding. The beach is protected by an outer coral reef so the water is super calm and perfect for a neophyte paddle boarder(me!). I had so much fun in the water which is the most beautiful turquoise blue because of the white sand. You can kayak or paddle board or paddle a surf board all the way out to the "Mokes" (two small islands off shore). What a fun beach and great for the keikis(children) as the water is very calm with no rip currents.

Andrew Medichini, Associated Press
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis on Monday criticized abortion as evidence of a "throwaway culture" that wastes people as well as food, saying such a mentality is a threat to world peace.
Francis also urged better respect for migrants and denounced the persecution of Christians in Asia, Africa and the Middle East in his global survey of world crises delivered to diplomats accredited to the Holy See.
Saying hunger is a threat to world peace, he noted that not only food but human beings themselves are often discarded as unnecessary.
"We cannot be indifferent to those suffering from hunger, especially children, when we think of how much food is wasted every day in many parts of the world immersed in what I have often termed 'the throwaway culture,'" Francis said.
That culture, he said, also affects the unborn child.
"For example, it is frightful even to think that there are children, victims of abortion, who will never see the light of day," he said. Francis has generally limited his exhortations about abortion, saying church teaching is well known and that he prefers to speak less about the church's moralizing rules and more about its positive, welcoming message.
In remarks that were less diplomatic and more a reflection of his own priorities, Francis called for the elderly to be treated with respect that their wisdom warrants, and for children to be protected from exploitation, slavery and hunger.
He lamented those who have died trying to find better lives for themselves and their families, citing migrants from his own Latin America trying to reach the United States and Africans seeking to enter Europe.
He urged Italians in particular to "renew their praiseworthy commitment of solidarity" toward migrants, an allusion to the current debate in Italy to revise its restrictive immigration policies.
Each year, thousands attempt risky voyages across the Mediterranean in unseaworthy boats heading toward Italian shores, and hundreds die en route. Last year, Francis visited the island of Lampedusa, the destination of choice for smuggling operations where more than 360 people died in a single shipwreck on Oct. 3.
From Syria to Mali, North Korea to South Sudan, Francis called for the international community to do more to end conflicts and care for the most vulnerable.
Francis also decried the persecution of Christians that has forced many to flee the Middle East, resulted in bloodshed in places like Nigeria and Mali and deprived Christians of their right to worship in parts of Asia.
"We must never cease to do good, even when it is difficult and demanding, and when we endure acts of intolerance if not genuine persecution," he said.

Those pesky freshmen, they think they know everything.
Actually, considering the statistics, that might be because they do.
The 2011 season might, so far, be labeled the "Year of the Quarterback" -- not merely because we've declared it such but also because the actual returns confirm it -- but, so far, it also might be worthy of a second label: "Year of the Rookie."
And that's not said solely as an excuse to heap more love on Cam Newton, the star of the Week 3 Consistency Ratings, though Newton's performance, so far, certainly is the leading rookie storyline. Since Newton was profiled in this space three weeks ago, he has continued to pile on the statistical accomplishments:
• He is the first player in NFL history with at least five passing and five rushing touchdowns in the first five games of a career.
• He has the Nos. 1 and 2 single-game passing yardage performances by a rookie in NFL history (432, Week 2; and 422, Week 1).
• He has been a "Stud" by this column's definition four times, something only four players in the entire NFL -- Aaron Rodgers (5), Drew Brees and Calvin Johnson (4 each) being the others -- have done.
• He's ninth in the NFL in terms of VBD (value-based draft score), with 54, and second among quarterbacks, and his "Stack" score (32) is 20th-best in the NFL and third-best among quarterbacks, meaning he's hardly a matchups product.
But although Newton might be the poster boy for 2011 rookie breakouts, there are plenty of other freshmen off to meaningful starts. Consider this: As a whole, 20 rookies have managed 37 "Start"-worthy fantasy performances and 14 Stud-worthy efforts. And two of them are quarterbacks, six of them running backs, 10 of them wide receivers. Today, let's examine five -- besides Newton -- who are off to the most meaningful starts:
Using both the past 34 weeks -- Week 6 of 2009 through Week 5 of 2011 -- of data, as well as 2011 alone, and fantasy points determined by ESPN's standard scoring, the charts contained in this column rate players based upon how consistently reliable they are. To familiarize you with some of the terminology:
Start: The number of times the player's point total in a given week was worthy of having had him active in an ESPN standard league.
Stud: The number of times the player's point total ranked among the top at his position.
Stiff: The number of times the player's point total ranked among the worst at his position, making almost any waiver-wire option a smarter choice.
These are the benchmarks for what constitutes a "Start," "Stud" or "Stiff" performance:
Sat: The number of times the player missed a game. Players are not charged Stiff points for sitting out, but it hurts their overall Consistency Rating.
%: The player's overall Consistency Rating, calculated as number of Start performances divided by scheduled team games.
Stack: A formula designed to weigh how much of the player's 2011/past-34-weeks fantasy point total was driven by matchups, this compares his weekly point totals to the average weekly amount his opponent typically allows to a player at his position (RBs and WRs are weighted differently). Higher scores mean the player succeeded beyond the strength of his matchups; lower (or negative) scores mean the player might have been a matchups product.
VBD (value-based draft score): This compares the player's season fantasy point total to that of a replacement-level player at his position to demonstrate relative value across different positions. My methodology for "replacement level": No. 15 QB, No. 35 RB, No. 35 WR, No. 15 TE, No. 15 K, No. 15 D/ST.
A.J. Green, Cincinnati Bengals: He hasn't gotten nearly the press Newton has, but did you know that he has been worthy of your fantasy start every bit as often (4) as the Carolina Panthers quarterback? Green has been a sensation for the Cincinnati Bengals in spite of the preseason questions about the statistical limitations of a rookie-rookie quarterback-to-wideout connection, managing the 10th-most fantasy points (56), third-most Stud efforts (2) and 12th-best Stack score (21.6) among wide receivers. (Not rookie wide receivers, all wide receivers.) Green finds himself on pace to crack the 1,200-yard and 10-touchdown plateaus, benchmarks that only four players achieved in 2010. Best yet: His next two matchups -- Week 6 versus the Indianapolis Colts and Week 8 at the Seattle Seahawks -- come against defenses that have allowed the third- and 10th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers.
Of course, Green's schedule after that gets tougher: His Weeks 9-13 matchups come against teams among the stingiest 13 in terms of fantasy points allowed to wideouts.
Andy Dalton, Bengals: What of Green's rookie quarterback? Dalton might not strike you as a meaningful fantasy option in the slightest, and we annually caution you to tread carefully when it comes to rookie passers. But look closer: Twice in five games he turned in a Start-worthy performance, giving him the 17th-best Consistency Rating (40.0 percent) among quarterbacks -- meaning, at the bare minimum, value in two-quarterback leagues. He also has the 20th-most fantasy points among quarterbacks (61) yet ranks 42nd in Stack score (minus-21.1), which, though a negative in terms of evaluating his every-week potential, does demonstrate his propensity for exploiting matchups. (Remember, it's a sliding scale; the greater the fantasy points and lower the Stack, the more the player capitalizes on matchups.)
Sure enough, Dalton's two best fantasy efforts -- 21 points in Week 2 at the Denver Broncos and 18 in Week 4 versus the Buffalo Bills -- came against defenses that have allowed the most and seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. So here's this heads-up, if you play in a two-quarterback league or have a quarterback with a pending bye: In Week 6, Dalton faces the Colts, who have allowed the 13th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.
Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons: I'll state up front, he's my favorite of the rookie class, and I say that primarily because I've been saying it since August, whereas I didn't feel quite as strongly about, say, Newton back then as I do today. Surprisingly, despite his solid start, Jones' Consistency Rating numbers are somewhat poor; he hasn't yet had a Stud performance, and has been a "Stiff" (2) as often as a Start (2). In his defense, he might have avoided Stiff territory in Week 5 if not for a hamstring injury that cut his night short, but, as always, my Consistency Rating formula does penalize for injuries. (The thinking: Injuries hurt fantasy teams' planning, so players shouldn't get a free pass simply because they missed games.)
Jones' hamstring injury could remain an issue come Week 6, so watch his practice reports closely, but remember that only 19 wide receivers have been Start-worthy more often than the rookie through five weeks.
Doug Baldwin, Seattle Seahawks: He is one of those 19 wide receivers, having on three occasions turned in a fantasy point total worthy of having had him in your lineup, yet, incredibly, remains available in 99.2 percent of ESPN leagues and was started in 0.2 percent in Week 5. Baldwin also ranks 26th in terms of Stack (7.1), remarkable for a player who ranks 47th among wide receivers in targets (27) and has yet to make his first career start. That his Seahawks are now on a bye might temper his pickup value this week, but this is a name to keep tucked away, tracking the potential expansion of his role in coming games. After all, he has two favorable matchups remaining, versus the St. Louis Rams (Weeks 11, 14), and other "plus" matchups against the Chicago Bears (Week 15) and Arizona Cardinals (Week 17).
Daniel Thomas, Miami Dolphins: He has played in only two of the Dolphins' four games, but is 2-for-2 in terms of Start-worthy fantasy efforts, with his 17-point Week 3 a true Stud performance, and he's 18th among running backs in terms of his Stack score (11.6). According to The Miami Herald, Thomas' hamstring should be healed coming out of the bye, in which case he might have a stronghold on the starting running back job for the next 12 weeks. Remember, the Dolphins don't seem to know what to do with Reggie Bush, awkwardly pushing him into the featured-back role at times and failing to roll him out wide at others, and Steve Slaton is even less equipped to be the team's featured back. This is a situation in which Thomas could get 15 carries a week assuming the Dolphins aren't so brutally bad that they're already 21 points behind and passing at the beginning of the second quarter.
Given that Thomas' team is fresh off the bye and a favorite pick in the "Suck for Luck" sweepstakes, this is the ideal time to pounce on a buy-low trade. If he comes as cheaply as a piece from your bench, there's every reason to act.
As always, exercise caution with rookies, who typically don't fit the description of "consistent" types. But in comparison to preseason expectations -- remember that fantasy owners as a whole have increasingly shied from rookies in recent years -- all six players above should be useful pieces in your playoff push.
Consistency Ratings charts
Each position has two charts below: one for 2011 statistics alone and one for the past 34 NFL weeks (Week 6 of 2009 through Week 5 of 2011). All categories are sortable both ascending and descending; just click on the headers to sort.
(Note: Because of the byes in Weeks 4-5 of 2009, and Week 5 of 2011, certain players could have appeared in as many as 33 games or as few as 31, instead of just 32. You can tell which teams had more or fewer than 32 scheduled games by looking at the defense/special teams chart for the past 34 weeks.)
Quarterbacks: 2011
Quarterbacks: Past 34 weeks
Something to think about: As much as I want to join the Matthew Stafford lovefest, the statistics above serve as my strongest caution. In the past 34 weeks, he has played 14 games and sat 18, or more than fellow injury risks Tony Romo and Michael Vick combined. I'll reiterate my advice: If I had a guarantee that Stafford would play all 16 games, there's little doubt he would make a strong push to finish among the top five quarterbacks in fantasy scoring, finishing absolutely no lower than sixth. But when he misses time, it tends to be of the multiple-game variety, and, if you sell off your contingency plan, you set yourself up for the incredible risk of waiver-wire management in the most important weeks of the fantasy season. So I'll ask: How lucky do you feel?
Running backs: 2011
Something to think about: Ahmad Bradshaw is as much of a sell-high as anyone in the game, partly thanks to the New York Giants' brutal remaining schedule, but thanks just as much to the statistics above. He's 14th among running backs in fantasy points but 21st in Stack (7.5), with much of that because of his 19-point hammering of the Philadelphia Eagles' struggling run defense in Week 3. Yes, there's another Eagles matchup on Bradshaw's schedule -- in Week 11 -- but six of his remaining 11 matchups come against teams that rank among the 10 best at preventing running backs from gaining many fantasy points. Five of those, incidentally, come in the final six weeks of the season, aka fantasy playoffs time.
Running backs: Past 34 weeks
Wide receivers: 2011
Something to think about: Mike Williams of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has been a Stiff on three occasions already this season; that's one shy of his entire rookie-year 2010 total (4). It's not yet time to cut him, but we're also not far off it.
Wide receivers: Past 34 weeks
Tight ends: 2011
Tight ends: Past 34 weeks
Kickers: 2011
Kickers: Past 34 weeks
Defense/special teams: 2011
Something to think about: If there is any fact to support the notion that you should always mix and match your defenses -- even if you happen to have drafted one of the preseason "elite" -- it's this: The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense , selected No. 1 in the preseason, has been a Stiff twice; the New York Jets' defense, generally regarded as one of the best, also has done it twice; and the Baltimore Ravens' defense, No. 1 in terms of fantasy points, has been a Stiff once.
Defense/special teams: Past 34 weeks

Topic: Achoo (04/11/13)
TITLE: Choo Choo Choo
By Verna Cole Mitchell
The Choo Choos were a busy train family, whistling loudly as they chugged across the country: Choo choo choo, get out out of our way. They traveled across smooth plains and dipped into deep valleys before they climbed high mountains, always with the same refrain, �Choo choo choo.� Rolling along through sunshine and rain and sleet and snow, they saw beautiful sights on their way to grand adventures.
There were many cars in the family, calling �Choo choo choo� cheerfully to everyone they saw as they traveled in single file behind Daddy Engine. They had all learned quickly to make the choo choo choo sound�all, that is, except for the last little car. Trying as hard as he could to sound like the others, all he could ever get out was �achoo.� He did shriek this very loudly though.
When the train family would pull into the station, people would laugh at the sound made by the last little car. He got tired of this and complained to his parents, �I want to make the same noise as everybody else.�
Finally, his parents took him to the train doctor, who examined him carefully. He felt his sides and poked his wheels and found nothing wrong. Then he listened to his whistle. �Ahh,� he said, I�ve found the problem. Since he�s at the end of a long line of Choo Choos, all the dirt stirred up from the wheels of the other cars come back to him, and he has dust in his whistler; so all he can shriek is �Achoo.�
They put a big black bonnet on his whistle, and at last, with his �achoo� gone, now he could whistle, �Choo choo choo� just like the others, but people still laughed when the train family pulled into the station at the last little car wearing a big black bonnet.

What if this wasn't a rhetorical question?
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
The table waiting industry profiles people. A table that orders cocktails, people with thick New York City accents, truckers, yuppie couples out without the kids -- you can get 20-25 percent from them. Europeans, old couples that ask where the bread is when the water gets delivered, people who order "pop" - they can be social, gracious and polite, but they tend not to tip well. As a Capitalist, you learn that you just turn over some tables as fast as you can while you dote on others. I learned from waitresses who had decades of experience in these matters. They had their own language and customer profiles down to a science. When you were in the back and heard "I just got a family of six that ordered pop" it meant that it was going to be a to be a lot of work for a small tip.
Just like there's little you can do to get a good tip from some tables, there's also little you can do to lose a tip. Maybe somebody will round down to the nearest dollar instead of round up, but most people just want their food. As long as you give it to them they aren't going to care if you ovaled your lips and popped your hand against them when they asked for "pop."
I waited tables, on and off, for five years. I never got stiffed. I never got a complaint to the manager. And, believe me, the "pop" schtick was minor compared to some of the stuff I pulled (e.g. dirty jokes, in-date advice).

So, if my wife and I order adult beverages when we first sit down, we are likely to get better service from our waiter/waitress? Interesting.
Dress up a bit. Order some drinks. Order some of the more exotic stuff on the menu. Stuff like that can get you extra attention. It lets the server know that here's someone who should be worth the extra effort.

Is are there another database server software for PHP other than MySQL?
Does it run on Linux?
Does it work with Apache?
(No MySQL, can't get it working on ubuntu.)
closed as off-topic by womble♦, Jenny D, EEAA♦, Falcon Momot, Katherine Villyard Aug 28 '15 at 2:43
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
Yes. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of database servers available to you.
To be frank, if you haven't been successful in getting MySQL working on Ubuntu, you're either:
MySQL should be trivial to get running on Ubuntu. Quite honestly, ~30 seconds to install (and that's if you have a very slow internet connection), and perhaps 30 minutes to go through the steps of creating your first database and creating a user that has privileges on that db.
Other popular database server options are:
None of these (perhaps with the exception of SQLite, which isn't widely-supported) will be any easier to get running than MySQL.
