This overdone project dissipates its energy in strange ways (sudden shifts to black-and-white, as though hailing the spirit of Oliver Stone and that other Costner JFK movie), and makes you wish its makers had shown the same restraint the government did during the crisis.

Thirteen Days focuses on the Cuban missile crisis; specifically from the United States' point of view. It gives us an insight of how decisions were made by President Kennedy during those 13 crucial days.
The movie's plot follows the Thirteen Days in chronological order. Starting from when the missiles were first discovered and ending when the deal was made. This film is a huge reminder of how close the world was to global annihilation with two great powers pointing weapons of mass destruction threateningly at each other. In addition to showing the danger of the crisis, the film's plot clearly depicts how only a few people have control. The President has the power to order airstrikes and react to threatening situations such as that of the Soviet Union with the 40 and more missiles, all he has to do is make a call. The scenes in which President Kennedy makes his decision, and has it executed, shows how much power he possesses. One call can change the destiny of the citizens of the United States. This is still apparent today as President Obama is entrusted with controlling the United States along with its people. Even now, few people have the power to deploy weapons of mass destructions, such as the President. The threat of nuclear war, which the Cuban Missile crisis avoided, is still active today as the United States still possesses nuclear weapons.
This film introduced a number of new things to me. I was not knowledgable of the fact that the generals kept pushing the President to have airstrikes and ultimately invade Cuba. The generals not only suggested this over and over again for the good of the people, they also wanted to redeem themselves from the failure at the Bay of Pigs. The continuously pushed the President, up to the point where he nearly considered it the best option. This invasion would have been the general's successful second chance if the Cuban blockade idea didn't come up. In addition to the tension between the generals and the President, I was also not aware of the fact that the President required the unanimous vote of the OAS (Organization of the United States) in order to go ahead with the blockade. He requested for these votes after the pictures of missiles being tested for launch in Cuba reached him. Lastly, I was interested in the fact that there were two letters sent before the deal which ended the crisis happened. The first was, according to the film, from Khruschev himself requesting that a deal could be made. This first letter gave the United States hope that violence was out of the question and that this crisis could finally end by peaceful means. However, the second letter sent was more aggressive. I was surprised with the fact that the administrators with the President suspected a coup during the second letter. Overall, this film helped open my eyes to a lot of the behind the scenes of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Thirteen days kept me interested and on the edge of my side due to the fact that the President had to make decisions within a short period of time. This is a movie where you can clearly see that time is of the essence. The different opinions and views expressed during meetings with the President helped put the problem in perspective as the President worked step by step. I think the film did this really well as I could see how the gears worked in making a final decisions, I could also see where the President was coming from every time he made a decision. However, one aspect of the movie that confused me were the black and white scenes. I wasn't sure if it was necessary to have only certain scenes in black and white. As a whole, I enjoyed the movie as it gave me insight into one of the most intense days in United States.
This movie helped me picture this certain era as being unstable and fragile. There was a lot of pressure on the President from the generals, the administrations, the citizens and the press. Along with the pressure, the tensions between the Navy, the Generals and the President took a toll on every decision made during those thirteen days. The two powers, United States and the Soviet Union, had a tug of war game during this era. The United States had photographs of missiles in Cuba, but the Soviets denied it so the President sent in more surveillance. There was also the incident of one of the US planes being shot down, then to avoid any more violence and war a deal was made. This particular era was depicted clearly as being unstable with a huge lack of honesty as even in the White House some orders between the President and the Generals were not followed. Thirteen Days is an excellent movie and provides the viewer with behind the textbook knowledge on the Cuban Missile Crisis and those fateful 13 days.… Full Review »

In addition to the Kennedy administration, the narrative covers the roles of both the military and US UN representatives in the crisis. I've always thought that the roles of military personnel in movies is clichéd in the manner they always push for war, but seeing as this film depicts actual events (according to the source book) it turns out that that is actually the case. In fact, in this case the military chiefs repeatedly undermine JFK's restrained by not cancelling a planned atom bomb test or spy flights close to the Soviet Union.
The script faithfully recreates actual speeches given by JFK during the crisis, 'not merely peace in our time but peace for all time' and both Greenwood and Culp accurately nail the Boston Irish accent of the Kennedy family. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the film's lead and producer, Kevin Costner. His accent veers from credible to laughable to non-existent during the film and his failings are only highlighted by his co-stars' performances.… Full Review »

Fucking great song, I think I've listened to it about 10 times in a row so far, I'd stop if I could just get the coordination to stop my head from bobbing.

FORT BRAGG - Capt. Kyle Walton remembers pressing himself into the jagged stones that covered the cliff in northeast Afghanistan.
Machine gun rounds and sniper fire ricocheted off the rocks. Two rounds slammed into his helmet, smashing his head into the ground. Nearby, three of his U.S. Army Special Forces comrades were gravely wounded. One grenade or a well-aimed bullet, Walton thought, could etch April 6, 2008 on his gravestone.
Walton and his team from the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group had been sent to kill or capture terrorists from a rugged valley that had never been penetrated by U.S. forces - or, they had been told, the Soviets before them.
He peered over the side of the cliff to the dry river bed 60 feet below and considered his options. Could he roll the wounded men off and then jump to safety? Would they survive the fall?
By the end of the six-hour battle deep within the Shok Valley, Walton would bear witness to heroics that on Friday would earn his team 10 Silver Stars, the most for a single battle in Afghanistan.
Walton, a Special Forces team leader, and his men described the battle in an interview with the Associated Press last week. Most seem unimpressed they've earned the Army's third-highest award for combat valor.
"This is the story about Americans fighting side-by-side with their Afghan counterparts refusing to quit," said Walton, of Carmel, Ind. "What awards come in the aftermath are not important to me."
The mission that sent three Special Forces teams and a company from the 201st Afghan Commando Battalion to the Shok Valley seemed imperiled from the outset.
Six massive CH-47 Chinook helicopters had deposited the men earlier that morning, banking through thick clouds as they entered the valley. The approaching U.S. soldiers watched enemy fighters racing to positions dug into the canyon walls and to sniper holes carved into stone houses perched at the top of the cliff.
Considered a sanctuary of the Hezeb Islami al Gulbadin terrorist group, the valley is far from any major American base.
It was impossible for the helicopters to land on the jagged rocks at the bottom of the valley. The Special Forces soldiers and commandos, each carrying more than 60 pounds of gear, dropped from 10 feet above the ground, landing among boulders or in a near-frozen stream.
With several Afghan commandos, Staff Sgt. John Walding and Staff Sgt. David Sanders led the way on a narrow path that zig-zagged up the cliff face to a nearby village where the terrorists were hiding.
Walton followed with two other soldiers and a 23-year-old Afghan interpreter who went by the name C.K., an orphan who dreamed of going to the United States.
Walding and Sanders were on the outskirts of the village when Staff Sgt. Luis Morales saw a group of armed men run along a nearby ridge. He fired. The surrounding mountains and buildings erupted in an ambush: The soldiers estimate that more than 200 fighters opened up with rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, machine guns and AK-47s.
At the end of the battle, all the Americans has survived.
Months later, Walding wants back on the team even though he lost a leg. Morales walks with a cane.
The raid, the soldiers say, proved there will be no safe haven in Afghanistan for terrorists. As for the medals, the soldiers see them as emblems of teamwork and brotherhood. Not valor.
"When you go to help your buddy, you're not thinking, 'I am going to get a Silver Star for this,'" Walding said. "If you were there, there would not be a second guess on why."

Since I don't have root rights on the machines in a compute pool, and thus cannot adapt the load parameters of atd for batch, I'm looking for an alternative way to do job scheduling. Since the machines are used by multiple users, it should be able to take the load into account. Optionally, I'm looking for a way to do this for all the machines it the pool, I.e. there is one central queue with jobs that need to be ran, and a script that distributes them (over ssh) over the machines that are under a certain load. Any ideas?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
First: go talk to the system administrators of the compute pool. Enterprise wide job schedulers have become a rather common component in infrastructures these days. Typically, these schedulers do not take into account system load though.
If the above doesn't lead to a good solution, you should carefully consider what load your jobs will impose on the machine: your jobs could be stressing the cpu more, consume large amounts of memory, generate lots of network or disk IO activity. Consequently, determining whether your job should start may depend on a lot of measurement, some of which you would not be able to do as an ordinary user (depends a bit on the kind of OS you are running, and how tight security is). In any case: you would only be able to take into account the load at the job's start up. Obviously, if every user would do this, you're back at square one in no time...
It might be a better idea to see with your system administrator if they have some sort of resource controls in place (e.g. projects in Solaris) through which they can make sure your batches are not tearing down the nodes in the compute pool. Next, write your batch jobs in such a way that they can cope with the OS declining requests for resources.
EDIT: As for the distributed nature: queueing up the jobs and having clients on all nodes point to the same queue, consuming as much as they can in the context of the resource controls...

Skip to comments.Is Santorum Right? How to Revive American Protestantism (and Why It is So Important)
Posted on 03/14/2012 5:43:21 PM PDT by ReligiousLibertyTV
Protestantism has indeed fallen on hard times as many American churchgoers have grown tired of theology and moral standards that are as wishy-washy as pop culture and look for churches that emphasize a clear moral standard and upright living. And it is true that no church has produced as monolithic a structure along these lines as the Roman Catholic Church. Catholic leaders long ago learned that the best way to address moral issues is to state a moral standard and stick with it regardless of whether people agree with it or live by it. Protestants continue to swim around in Laodicean tap water and are in danger of circling the drain as they are afraid to espouse standards even within their own congregations. While Protestant churches tend to see themselves as democracies, there is no such thing in Catholic thought. In the Catholic Church there is God, the saints, the Church hierarchy which handles the spiritual welfare, then the Government which serves the civic functions of life, then you. In Protestantism, there is God and then there is you. When Martin Luther wrote his 95 Theses and nailed them to the wall of the chapel at Wittenberg, his Biblical discoveries led him to realize that it was God, then you. In Protestant thought, you could assemble with other people and make a church, or not.

martin luther's biblical "discoveries." Right. And Al Gore invented the internet.
He stated it was 'mainline Protestants' which tend to be the more liberal churches (Episcopal, ELCA, Methodists).
It is NOT true of Evangelical churches. IMO, what people are tired of is the 'frozen chosen' churches, because most Evangelical churches and Charismatic churches are growing from among these groups in great numbers. They don't have the hierarchy but stand firm on moral ground. IMO, it is that that makes them grow. People are tired of churches who are lax or ambivalent on moral standards.

That is an untrue statement regarding ALL (or even most) Protestant churches. There are some who have moved to the left and behave this way, but not all Protestants at all.
I quit reading after what you posted because you are pimping your blog and this comes across as a Catholic hit piece on Protestants and I don't support things that divide the Body of Christ.
This article gets several things wrong. Santorum didn't attack Protestantism. He lamented that SOME Protestants are no longer really Christians.
In particular, he said "Mainline Protestants," the accepted term for the more liberal, fashionable, upper-class churches, of which the Episcopal Church is the best known.
And it's true. I was born and bred Episcopalian, before I became a Catholic, and I take no pleasure in seeing how that communion has degenerated over the years.
It's noticeable that Southern Evangelicals have had no problems voting for Rick, after he said that. They understand what the problem is, too. That, in spite of the fact that the mainstream press has distorted and demonized what Rick actually said. He was not attacking Protestantism, but the betrayal of all that was good in Protestantism. But writers for papers like the NY Times wouldn't understand what Christianity is really about if you hit them over the head with it. (That's a metaphor, by the way!)
I'll have to take your word for it.
If it's important enough for someone to print an excerpt of a blog on FR, surely they can post the whole thing.
FR is a discussion forum, not a "link to my stuff so that I can get more hits", forum.
Perhaps Religious blog pimping will become a new trend on FR.
Bump! Just left another insulting thread by "Catholics" who insist on throwing rocks at Protestants. I accused them of throwing "stupid rocks". It reflects very poorly on them.
Nothing further here either. Sick of this nonsense. STUPID STUPID STUPID
There was a thread the other day about Santorum's comments and it was 'mainline' which is not 'mainstream' ('mainline' is actually a reference to location - along the Main Line of the Railroad).
I agree that the whole thing should be posted. Blog pimps annoy me when they expect you to go to the link. Its not like there is a copyright issue.
If Protestantism is, as Santorum suggests, on life support, then it desperately needs revival as a belief system that recognizes the value of the unfiltered grace of God. Protestantism, indeed Christianity in general, is here to tell the world that there is something more than what we see around us and to point to transcendent truths. If the American church wants to really reach its Divine potential, it needs to elevate humanity, not by confirming itself to the secular society or forcing secular society conform to its religion, but by pointing the world to a better alternative.
If the faith community can truly embrace this calling, and it is a calling, not a prodding, it will achieve the transformation that it seeks to achieve in the hearts of Americans and people around the world.
A likely scenario:
The Protestant mainline denominational churches have already succumbed to Secular Humanism and belief in big government, the nanny state. When govt. coercion or worse hits the Catholic Church and the smaller evangelical and fundamentalist churches with full force, the smaller churches(not Catholic) , the individual pastors/preachers/reverends will have to make a decision to either have smaller congregations and risk not paying bills and closing or adjusting their message and adjusting their preaching to new cowed wider audience, to the new standard...capitulation! This will happen as most of these smaller congregations are not part of a group where the weaker congregations are being supported financially by the group.
Protestanism in the main will fold.
Of course there will always be heros and martyrs, but financial realities and being of the world and in the world dictate alot of things.
The evangelical churches are a major problem because, although the conservative ones might teach reasonablygood theology, they completely fail to require any serious biblical applications. The sum total of the teaching in most of those churches is "be nice". Demands that members not divorce, fornicate, render their children to Caesar, or take a soft position on the sodomite lifestyle are entirely missing from the typical evangelical or pentecostal church. There are exceptions, but not many...
We need to start acting like the Bride of Christ rather than the Whore of Babylon - but that is true of all Christians in general not just Protestants.
Actually, from what I have seen the opposite will be true. It is the 'mainline' churches that are closing, the Evangelical churches are growing. Financially, some will fold but not all of them, not by far.
Christians are looking for churches who will not compromise and are leaving those that have already.
I know many pastors who will give up their non-profit status and continue to speak the truth, and financially they are stable.

Not sure where you are getting your information but in my 18+ years as an Evangelical and in various congregations in several states you could not be further from the truth.
Most of the Evangelical churches I have attended are deep into biblical teaching, not 'be nice' types at all, but rather "SPEAK the truth no matter what", and place demands on their members not divorce, fornicate, render their children to Caesar, or take a soft position on the sodomite lifestyle.
What you describe is a disease of liberal churches like the ELCA, UMC, PCUSA - all churches who are losing members left and right - not Evangelical/Pentecostal churches AT ALL.
..and there is a major revolt occurring in the PCUSA, lots of congregations lining up to get out rather than accept the wholesale repudiation of scriptural teaching on morality by the denominational leaders.
They had visited our church a few times and together, committed their lives to Christ. Neither had ever been to a church, so everything was new to them. They started getting to know people and liked the church so much that they decided to become members. The Pastor, noted when he was reading their membership paperwork that they had the same address. He asked if they would meet with him and they did. He asked them if they were living together; they were. He quoted scripture and explained to them what God thought of what they were doing. They had intended to married, so they moved the date up and lived apart until the wedding. It was actually a very funny interview, because the guy kept saying how hard it was, but he was determined to do the right thing.They have been married over a year.
Our Pastors all make it clear what God expects of us. Before elections we are reminded to carefully study each candidate; prior votes, where they stand on the life issue, ......does their values line up with God's word. It is a really great church.
To avoid an accusation of "blog pimping" here is the whole thing.
By Michael D. Peabody
Like it or not, the GOP Primary season seems to be winding down. Mitt Romney is emerging as the clear winner, and while there may be some chance for another candidate to take the flag, it is mathematically unlikely.
So lets debrief. More than any other time in recent history, specific religious beliefs took the center stage throughout this election. One of the things that deserves closer attention is Rick Santorums statement that mainline Protestantism is essentially dead in America, or as Santorum, a Catholic, so delicately put it during a 2008 speech at Ave Maria University in Florida, mainstream Protestantism is gone from the world of Christianity.
As a Protestant (i.e. a non-Catholic or non-Anglican Christian), this statement first struck me as borderline offensive. I wanted to jump up and down and shout, Im still here! In fact, there are 45 million of us according to the National Council of Churches which claims that 16% of the electorate belong to their churches. And while the media excoriated Rush Limbaugh for bloviating about a law school students choice of extracurricular activities, where were the Protestants when Santorum was essentially saying that the world of Christianity had given them the boot and that they were now in the grasp of Satan?
Not only did Santorum ignore separation of church and state, he focused on the church side of the divide and argued that Protestantism was separated from Christianity there was Catholic and there was something akin to Satanism. It seems incredulous to even be typing what Santorum said, but oddly enough, the only people who seemed to take a serious look at it were the secular media. Protestants seemed to shrug their shoulders and say, Yeah, thats us. But what if Santorum is actually right? Is Protestantism actually dying or negotiating itself away? Then it ought to take lessons on Catholic consistency. There are liberal and conservative Protestant churches and they run the gamut of the American political spectrum on almost every issue.
Protestantism has indeed fallen on hard times as many American churchgoers have grown tired of theology and moral standards that are as wishy-washy as pop culture and look for churches that emphasize a clear moral standard and upright living. And it is true that no church has produced as monolithic a structure along these lines as the Roman Catholic Church. Catholic leaders long ago learned that the best way to address moral issues is to state a moral standard and stick with it regardless of whether people agree with it or live by it. Protestants continue to swim around in Laodicean tap water and are in danger of circling the drain as they are afraid to espouse standards even within their own congregations.
While Protestant churches tend to see themselves as democracies, there is no such thing in Catholic thought. In the Catholic Church there is God, the saints, the Church hierarchy which handles the spiritual welfare, then the Government which serves the civic functions of life, then you. In Protestantism, there is God and then there is you. When Martin Luther wrote his 95 Theses and nailed them to the wall of the chapel at Wittenberg, his Biblical discoveries led him to realize that it was God, then you. In Protestant thought, you could assemble with other people and make a church, or not.
Of course, by removing the Divine seal of approval from the church or civic hierarchy, the very foundations of those establishments were threatened. Kings could no longer claim to rule for generations by Divine Right, and the Pope didnt hold the keys to salvation and require people to jump through various hoops in order to get into Heaven. In Protestant thought, salvation was only through Jesus Christ and it was indeed possible to have a very real, personal relationship directly with Christ. The structures of the Holy Roman Empire gradually lost their relevance in Protestant countries. In Protestant thought, one could no longer involuntarily participate in sacraments and benefit spiritually from those exercises. You couldnt find yourself in Heaven just because somebody else did something on your behalf. You, yes you as an individual, needed to intellectually accept certain spiritual realities. While sacraments remained important, they were useless without a concurrent renewal of the mind, which was aided by prayer and Bible study, which, until the Reformation, was unavailable to individuals. In fact, before the Reformation, the mere act of translating scripture into a common language was considered heresy as John Wycliffe found out the hard way after he translated parts of the Latin Vulgate into vernacular English. Although Wycliff died of a stroke in 1384, he had so irritated the ecclesiastical powers that be that his bones were dug up and burned in 1415 at the command of Pope Martin V.
The priesthood of all believers, or the idea that believers were seen as equals in the eyes of God was fundamental to the formation of American democracy where any citizen could become active in government and any citizen older than 35 could run for President. People could group together to form churches, and separation of church and state preserved the rights of religious groups and protected them from each other, and preserved the right to be non-religious, or even form your own church. So long as you didnt hurt anybody else, your beliefs were welcome at the table and your right to believe, or not believe, was jealously guarded.
As an American, you could benefit from unprecedented individual civil and religious freedom brought about by two keeping the sphere of church distinct from the sphere of state. What happened between you and God was your business, and the state didnt get involved in what your church taught and your church was not allowed to set the agenda for the state. It was this combination of the Protestant ethic and the republican form of government that made America a free country and set the standard for true freedom of religion. This reality was preserved through the rule, not of politicians or prelates, but of law, specifically the United States Constitution and its Bill of Rights which kept government from being involved in affairs of the church and vice versa. This environment gave religion, faith, property rights, and entrepreneurship the room to thrive. The only times of challenge were when people tried to use force to rob other people of their God-given freedom and inherent human worth.
While Christianity in Europe has struggled with dying national churches, and where birthright determined the likelihood of individual success, the American form of government has proved a blessing to generations of America.
What threatens American Protestantism the most is when Protestants stop believing in God and begin believing in belief. When belief becomes bigger than God, there is pressure to use the power of the church to influence religious politicians and to extend the power of the church to the government and beyond. We need to remember is that America is not the church. Just because we believe something doesnt mean that we need the government to make a law to force it on everybody. To put it bluntly, in America, it is legal to believe things that could compromise your own eternal salvation. The state wont stand in the way of your own theological stupidity. And it would be wrong for the state to assume such power because, in Protestant thought, spiritual actions and even knowledge without a change of heart is worthless.
Conservatives who express great concern about an emerging nanny state ought to take notes.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9 (NIV).
What are you talking about?
I have seen misinformation before but this post of yours must have been pulled out of a septic tank.
I wish you were right, but I spend a great deal of time on this subject with pastors and denominational leaders, and I can assure you that they are mostly happy to to teach the literal ressurection, virgin birth, etc., but they most assuredly do not emphasize the things I mentioned. The SBC, for example, is going in the wrong direction (while protesting that they are just trying to "contextualize" and be "culturally relevant").
"What are you talking about?
I have seen misinformation before but this post of yours must have been pulled out of a septic tank."
Gross ignorance at any rate, or wishful thinking.
I have regularly attended three different evangelical churches in the last six years, as well as visited several dozen. My present congregation is on the Pentecostal side. It's the BIBLE and Jesus all the way. Straight up preaching from the word, and no soft-pedaling.
You don't get out much, do you?
Try, for example, getting the typical evangelical or pentecostal pastor to tell his congregation not to render their children to Caesar. If that is too daunting, just try to get them to tell the congregation that the church must do a careful investigation of the local school district to determine whether it is promoting promiscuity and the sodomite lifestyle as normal. Virtually every school district does this, by the way. But pastors don't want to know (definitively) any more than the congregants with their children in government schools want to know. Pastors, of course, know that questioning the congregants' government school habit would threaten their job security and, therefore maintain silence on this issue.
More broadly, the SBC has adopted an amnesty resolution (last June in Phoenix), is selling the "new" NIV ( which is the old TNIV) and other heresy (e.g. "The Shack") through Lifeway, is getting squishy on the sodomite lifestyle, and has elements moving toward embracing environmentalism. The leadership is also now openly pushing affirmative action for SBC leadership posts and trying to smear any opposition as "racist".
Bear in mind that I am mentioning the SBC just for illustration. These things are happening to one degree or another in the vast majority of churches.
Yes, mighty dandy but the fit hasn't hit the shan!
See 23. Bear in mind that teaching theology and holding congregants accountable for what they are doing are different things.
I probably spend more time in the field on this issue than anyone on FR. While there are certainly variations, the overall situation is a travesty.
I think that the criticism of Protestants is largely right. Unfortunately, the situation among Catholics is much worse. Vatican II was an unmitigated disaster theologically for them, and it weakened standards so that sodomites flooded into the priesthood - particularly the Jesuits. That is where the "pedophile priest" problem came from, along with the cover-up.
Serious Catholics need to repair a lot of damage, and we do too, in general.
What churches you are talking about I know nothing about.
I attend a Bible believing Spirit filled church.
I didn't say that there aren't exceptions. Family integrated churches, for example, as a whole, are doing a great job. Perhaps yours is too.
Behind all the incense, in reality, Roman Catholicism competes with mainline Protestant denominations for last place in commitment and 1st place in liberal moral views, in contrast to evangelical faith: http://www.peacebyjesus.com/RC-Stats_vs._Evang.html
And the more literal the Catholic overall takes the Bible - like as evangelicals and contrary to most Roman Catholic scholarship, including that which is behind his own official Bible for America - than the more conservative in moral views he is.
I never throw rocks at Catholics (figuratively or literally).
Yes, many Protestant groups are off track. Some are not.
I have NO desire to argue Protestant/Catholic differences. But I find the constant jabs from them here annoying.
"Stupid Rock" throwing.
saw it. You should come to my church.
saw it. You should come to my church.
saw it. You should come to my church.
We do see increasing compromise, yet as stated, they are still much in contrast to the typical Catholic counterparts: http://www.peacebyjesus.com/RC-Stats_vs._Evang.html
Have a nice evening.
Among the people I know Baptists are the most divorced and remarried.
Actually, we've all been called out of the 'churches' because they all are apostate and decadent now, especially the large Nico Laitan ones like the catholic, orthodox, and episcopal.
You are 100% correct.
It is the huge Nico Laitan churches that have gone astray. The individual, autonomous home churches are the only ones that are truly holding to the word.
Thank you, Oprah!
Angels rejoicing! (me, too!)
Shall he be ALLOWED to only say things that would NOT offend someone else?
Wow! I don't get to reply to lines like this often!!
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
Luke 18:8b (niv)
... when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
MORMONs want to pour gas on this small flame.
Then they and their chosen heresy can slink away in all the uproar.
This week.
I will point up what the BIBLE has to say about rocks...
Is Peter the 'rock'?
As you can see, Simon was already known as 'Peter'
BEFORE the following verses came along.....
NIV 1 Corinthians 10:4
and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
NIV Luke 6:48
He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
NIV Romans 9:33
As it is written: "See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
NIV 1 Peter 2:4-8
4. As you come to him, the living Stone--rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him--
5. you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
6. For in Scripture it says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
7. Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, "The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone, "
8. and, "A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall." They stumble because they disobey the message--which is also what they were destined for.
But, since there WAS no NT at the time Christ spoke to Peter, just what DID Peter and the rest of the Disciples know about ROCKS???
NIV Genesis 49:24-25
24. But his bow remained steady, his strong arms stayed limber, because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,
25. because of your father's God, who helps you, because of the Almighty, who blesses you with blessings of the heavens above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breast and womb.
NIV Numbers 20:8
"Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink."
NIV Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.
NIV Deuteronomy 32:15
Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; filled with food, he became heavy and sleek. He abandoned the God who made him and rejected the Rock his Savior.
NIV Deuteronomy 32:18
You deserted the Rock, who fathered you; you forgot the God who gave you birth.
NIV Deuteronomy 32:30-31
30. How could one man chase a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?
31. For their rock is not like our Rock, as even our enemies concede.
NIV 1 Samuel 2:2
"There is no one holy like the LORD; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.
NIV 2 Samuel 22:2-3
2. He said: "The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
3. my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior-- from violent men you save me.
NIV 2 Samuel 22:32
For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
NIV 2 Samuel 22:47
"The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God, the Rock, my Savior!
NIV 2 Samuel 23:3-4
3. The God of Israel spoke, the Rock of Israel said to me: `When one rules over men in righteousness, when he rules in the fear of God,
4. he is like the light of morning at sunrise on a cloudless morning, like the brightness after rain that brings the grass from the earth.'
NIV Psalms 18:2
The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
NIV Psalms 18:31
For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
NIV Psalms 18:46
The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior!
NIV Psalms 19:14
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
NIV Psalms 28:1
To you I call, O LORD my Rock; do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who have gone down to the pit.
NIV Psalms 31:2-3
2. Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me.
3. Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me.
NIV Psalms 42:9
I say to God my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?"
NIV Psalms 62:2
He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
NIV Psalms 62:6
He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
NIV Psalms 62:7
My salvation and my honor depend on God ; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
NIV Psalms 71:3
Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
NIV Psalms 78:35
They remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High was their Redeemer.
NIV Psalms 89:26
He will call out to me, `You are my Father, my God, the Rock my Savior.'
NIV Psalms 92:14-15
14. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green,
15. proclaiming, "The LORD is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him."
NIV Psalms 95:1
Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
NIV Psalms 144:1
Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
NIV Isaiah 17:10
You have forgotten God your Savior; you have not remembered the Rock, your fortress.
NIV Isaiah 26:4
Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal.
NIV Isaiah 30:29
And you will sing as on the night you celebrate a holy festival; your hearts will rejoice as when people go up with flutes to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.
NIV Isaiah 44:8
Do not tremble, do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago? You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one."
NIV Habakkuk 1:12
O LORD, are you not from everlasting? My God, my Holy One, we will not die. O LORD, you have appointed them to execute judgment; O Rock, you have ordained them to punish.
And now you know the Biblical position!
And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
Matthew 9:12
Luke 5:31
Mark 2:17

Motorists are giving mixed signals on environmental issues. They are aware they ought to be looking to buy the most environmentally friendly car, but other factors have higher priority.
The number of motorists saying they 'may' consider a more environmentally friendly car, or a car with lower CO2 emissions, when they make their next purchase has fallen from 82% to 76% since last year. More significantly only 8% say they will 'definitely' consider this - a fall from 21% in 2008.
The desire for a more fuel efficient car was expressed by 58% of motorists, while 46% would actively seek a car with lower CO2 emissions.
Only one in four want an alternative fuel car and reduced engine or body size appeals to only one in five as a new purchase.
So what would influence a motorist's decision to buy a more environmentally friendly car?
85% would welcome financial incentives to buy a low CO2 emission car.
75% want more information on a car's CO2 emissions.
73% would make a more environmental purchasing decision if there were an increase in the road tax for high CO2 emission levels. These increases came into force on May 1 this year so they could kick start motorists into translating words into actions.
65% of motorists would be more likely to switch to an environmentally friendly car if there was an increase in petrol and diesel costs at the pump.

Two-phase microjet impingement cooling is a potential solution for removing heat from high-power VLSI chips. Arrays of microjets promise to achieve more uniform chip temperatures and very high heat transfer coefficients. This paper presents the design and fabrication of single-jets and multijet arrays with circular orifice diameters ranging from 40 to 76 μm, as well as integrated heater and temperature sensor test devices. The performance of the microjet heat sinks is studied using the integrated heater device as well as an industry standard 1 cm2 thermal test chip. For single-phase, the silicon temperature distribution data are consistent with a model accounting for silicon conduction and fluid advection using convection coefficients in the range from 0.072 to 4.4 W/cm2K. For two-phase, the experimental results show a heat removal of up to 90 W on a 1 cm2 heated area using a four-jet array with 76 μm diameter orifices at a flowrate of 8 ml/min with a temperature rise of 100°C. The data indicate convection coefficients are not significantly different from coefficients for pool boiling, which motivates future work on optimizing flowrates and flow regimes. These microjet heat sinks are intended for eventual integration into a closed-loop electroosmotically pumped cooling system.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - A 49-year-old California patent lawyer has been elected as the nation's first openly transgender trial judge.
Alameda County elections officials say Victoria Kolakowski beat prosecutor John Creighton 51 to 48 percent - a margin of nearly
10,000 votes - in the Nov. 2 election to fill the vacancy in California's Superior Court.
Kolakowski had been leading since election night, but outstanding absentee and provisional ballots made the race too close to call until Monday.
The Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund has said she is the first openly transgender trial court judge in the country.
Kolakowski spent the past three years as an administrative law
judge settling energy contract and environmental compliance disputes for the California Public Utilities Commission. She underwent gender reassignment surgery in 1981.

Porsche Cayman
MSRP from$59,900 to $96,500 CHECK LOCAL PRICING
- 2016
- Porsche
- Cayman
The stylish Porsche Cayman is based on the venerable Boxster platform, which is a good thing, as this dynamic duo offer levels of handling and performance that put many big-ticket sports cars to shame. Three models are available, including a base model powered by a 2.7-litre flat–six, and two sportier versions (S and GTS) blessed with the potent 3.4-litre engine.
The Cayman GTS features unique front and rear fascias, blacked out Bi-Xenon headlights with the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS), 20-inch Carrera S wheels and a sport exhaust system with black tailpipes as standard. The car also features a unique interior treatment.
The 3.4-litre six-cylinder boxer engine of the Cayman GTS delivers an additional 15 horsepower and seven lb.-ft. of torque over "S" model counterparts. The car is fitted with either a six-speed manual or the optional seven-speed PDK automatic transmission. The Sport Chrono package is a standard feature on the GTS, as is Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), which offers the choice of sportier or more comfortable ride settings at the press of a button.

1849 Shipwreck Found in Lake OntarioBreaking News
After more than 160 years, the twin masts of the Milan still stand erect _ all the more remarkable because the commercial sailing ship sits in the dark depths of Lake Ontario."It almost looks like it could be floated" to the surface, said shipwreck explorer Dan Scoville on Monday.
Scoville and fellow explorer Jim Kennard located the schooner in the summer of 2005 off the southern shore of the lake. They videotaped the 93-foot-long, square-stern vessel this year using an unmanned submersible built with the help of college students.
The ship sits upright on the lake bed at a depth of more than 200 feet. Its masts extend 70 feet upward in the dark waters.
"At those depths, and the water being so cold, there's not a lot of oxygen" Scoville said."It basically helps preserve the wood. If a shipwreck is in shallow, fresh water, the ice will get it or storms will beat it up."

Hey 2 bits –
"Now that's just not right. ALL citizens have the same inalienable rights."
Uh huh . . . And just like everyone else, these two former Utah AG's have the right to be tried, convicted, sentenced, and PUNISHED to the utmost extent of the law.
In a perfect world, all laws would be enforced equally.
But in reality, resources just don't exist to enforce all a laws, all of the time, equally for everyone.
So law enforcement prioritizes according to the significance of the crime.
Thus murders take high precedence over shoplifting. And prosecuting the theft and fraud perpetrated by bald-faced lying, hypocritically venal AG's should take precedence over prosecuting some kid who burglarizes a house.
If these former SYMBOLS of Utah Justice are not prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, then Utah is ill served.

In Utah the majority of voters, the faux news watchers, are convinced that these
two are innocent while Obama should be sued and impeached.
There are mountains of evidence that these two are guilty while there isn't a bit of evidence that Obama is any of the things the repubs claim he is.
