Read an Excerpt
Five years should be enough time for people to forget. In a world of thirty-second sound bites and high-speed internet, one person's fifteen minutes of fame should be a distant memory in a few months at most.
But Rick didn't live in a world of shoulds. If he did, he'd be happily married to Brandy. And Lizzie wouldn't be sitting in the stands at the annual Pickle Play-Off game.
Get your head in the game, Allyn. This is for the championship.
He clapped his hands and crouched into a running stance at second base. His line drive had been good enough to get him there, but he needed one more solid hit to get him and the guy on third home to win the game. The young man with Down syndrome up to bat might dampen anyone else's enthusiasm. But not Rick's. Because tonight was his night. He could feel it down to his cleats.
Rick cupped his hands around his mouth. "C'mon, Jeffy. Hit me in, buddy."
Jeffy looked up at him and nodded. He bit his tongue as he got into position in front of the catcher.
The first pitch. "Ball."
Rick stood and clapped his hands once more. "Good eye, Jeffy."
Jeffy swung at the next ball. Missed. "Strike one."
"Wait for your pitch, buddy." Rick put his hands on his knees, rubbing the left one to ease the achea remnant of a car accident five years beforethen returned to his running stance, ready to make a dash for third if the opportunity arose.
The next ball floated across the plate.
"Strike two."
The crowd got to their feet. They could be one pitch away from winning it all. Or losing. They stomped. Shouted. Cheered. Jeffy's mom hid her head in her hands and turned to the well-dressed brunette in a purple power suit beside her.
Why was she here?
Rick shook his head. Stay focused. "C'mon, Jeffy. Hit her out of here!"
He held his breath as the next ball pinged off Jeffy's bat and rolled toward first base.
"Foul ball!"
At third base, Tom saw his opportunity and sprinted toward home before the opposing team could react. He slid safely into home plate and tied the game as Rick reached third base.
One hit was all they needed. One solid hit to get Rick home.
He held his hands up. "Time-out." He started walking toward Jeffy. Time for a pep talk.
The older woman sitting beside Elizabeth on the bleachers covered her eyes. "I can't look."
Elizabeth looked from the woman to the young man talking with Rick at home plate.
"Is that your son?"
The woman turned and smiled at Elizabeth. "You're not from around here, are you?"
"Afraid not." She gripped the handles of her Kate Spade bag tighter. "I'm here on business."
And business was exactly what she should be doing rather than sitting on a hard wooden bleacher, waiting for a chance to talk to Rick. He looked good. Better than good. But five years hadn't changed him. Same brown hair that looked as if he'd run a comb through it sometime that week. Same warm grin that could make a girl's toes curl. And if she could get close enough to see his brown eyes, she knew she'd see the familiar twinkle that played with his good-guy image. Five years and he still didn't see his potential beyond this hick town. Good thing she was there to change all that.
The woman next to her held out her hand. "I'm Martha. Otherwise known in town as Jeffy's mom."
Elizabeth turned her attention back to Martha and shook her hand. "Elizabeth."
"Jeffy loves the game, but because he's slow, coaches won't let him play." She turned adoring eyes back to the two men standing at home plate. "Except for Rick, bless him."
Rick walked back to third base as Jeffy returned to the batter's box. Swung the bat a few times. Hunkered down, ready for his pitch.
Martha squeezed her eyes shut. "Oh, I can't watch."
Elizabeth took the woman's hand in hers. "I'll watch for you." You could get through anything with someone holding your hand.
The pitch. "Ball two."
The crowd let out their breath and clapped.
"Jeffy! Jeffy! Jeffy!"
The pitcher glanced at third base, then threw the ball at the baseman. Rick shook his head. "Just pitch the ball, Stu." He turned back to Jeffy. "Nice and easy, now. Just like practice."
Jeffy nodded and tightened his grip on the bat.
The coach from the other team laughed. "No worries, folks. We've got the game. That trophy is as good as ours."
Stu shook off the catcher's first two calls. He nodded and threw the ball.
Martha's eyes opened. "He hit it?"
Elizabeth grinned and helped her to her feet as Rick flew toward home and planted his feet on home base. He then stood to watch Jeffy charging toward first base before the ball could get there.
His feet touched the base.
The ball hit the baseman's glove.
With a roar, fans rushed the field, carrying Jeffy away in their excitement. Elizabeth helped Martha down from the stands, but even his own mother couldn't get to Jeffy through the crowd. Everyone was hugging him. Shouting and crying. All trying to get the chance to put their hands on the young man the other team said couldn't play.
Elizabeth couldn't help but smile. This was better than anything on television.
Martha walked up to Rick and hugged him. "Thank you for believing in Jeffy."
"Thanks for letting him play." He patted her back. "You're bringing him to the diner after?"
"He wouldn't let us miss it." She wiped her eyes and turned to find her son amid the crowd.
The opposing coach cleared his throat until Rick turned around and accepted the trophy.
The coach shrugged. "We underestimated you."
"The underdog has to win at least once." They shook hands briefly before the coach walked away.
"Still tilting at windmills?"
At Lizzie's voice, Rick turned to face the inevitable moment. It had been coming since he'd spotted her in the bleachers. She looked good. Too good. Despite the fact that she wore her power suit like armor.
"You've been avoiding my calls."
He started to walk around the bases, picking them up and slapping them together to get off the dirt. "Because they all say the same thing, Lizzie. And my answer hasn't changed."
"If you'd just listen"
"I don't need to. True Love was a onetime shot. I don't need to relive that time of my life. I've moved on." He bent and stuffed the bases into the equipment bags, zipped them shut and hoisted them over his left shoulder. He waved with his free hand to some friends. "See you at the diner," he called after them when they honked their car horns.
"No offense, Rick, but it doesn't look like you've moved much from when I met you five years ago."
Rick turned to observe her. One of television's top reality-show producers stood on a dusty baseball field wearing designer clothes that cost more than what most of the people in this town made in a month. Her haircut, though attractive and stylish, probably cost enough to pay the grocery bills. She didn't have a clue about how his world operated. Yet here she was. Standing on his turf. Trying to convince him to make another mistake.
He opened his mouth, a smart retort on his tongue, but instead stalked off the field toward the parking lot, where two vehicles remained. He glanced at the rental that obviously belonged to Lizzie and shook his head.
"Something wrong with my car?" He could hear the smile in her voice.
He put the bags in the back of his truck but didn't look at her. "It's a convertible."
"I know."
He turned to face her. "In Michigan." She didn't get it. Probably never would, Rick was sure.
Lizzie's smile faded into a frown. "And?"
Rick shrugged and sighed as if to say it was her funeral. "The weather changes every five minutes here."
"But I look good in a convertible."
He sighed. Some things really didn't change. "Always going for style over substance."
"Are you judging me?" She took her sunglasses from the perch atop her head and slid them over her eyes. "I thought we'd gotten past that. I thought we were friends."
Rick swallowed and tried to fight the feeling that he'd messed up again. "Friends who haven't talked or seen each other since I got dumped on television." He took off his ball cap and hit his thigh with it once. Twice. "I apologize, Lizzie. It's still a sore spot."
"And it's still Elizabeth."
Rick grinned and wiggled his eyebrows. "Not to me."
She strode to her car and took a sleek leather briefcase from the front seat. With a few quick snaps, she opened it and retrieved a thin envelope. "Our offer has increased."
He glanced at the envelope, then at her. "You could offer me twice as much and my answer would still be no."
Lizzie fiddled with the contents of her briefcase before placing the envelope back inside. "Rick, this is a chance of a lifetime."
He swallowed. Yeah, like the chance that had made him a joke on every national newscast for a month. "I already had one of those, remember?"
Lizzie sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Could we at least discuss this over coffee?"
He chuckled. "At the diner we only have half-and-half, not that flavored creamer you like." He finished throwing the equipment bags into the bed of his pickup truck before slamming the tailgate closed. Turning, he nearly ran Lizzie over.
"How did you remember the creamer?"
Rick shrugged. "How do I remember that Frank gets pancakes with butter and no syrup every day except on Saturday when it's French toast? How do I know that Miss Maudie wants the crusts cut off her sandwiches and put into a doggie bag to take home to her Yorkie?" He flipped the keys in his hands over a few times. "It's my job."
"I'm not your job."
"But I'm yours?" He glanced at the empty ball field and then back at her. "Why are you here? Why not send one of your interns? Backwater Michigan is a long way from Hollywood for a business call."
"I needed to see you."
He raised one eyebrow. "Interesting."
Elizabeth tried not to groan. This wasn't the way things were supposed to happen. She'd come in person to convince him to do the show, which should have impressed him. Instead it seemed to make him even more resistant to the idea. He was supposed to be desperate for her.
Desperate for the show. That was what she meant.
Rick opened the passenger door of his truck. "Convince me. We'll talk on the drive to the diner."
That was more like it. She looked back at the blue convertible. "And leave my car here?"
"It'll be fine." Rick glanced up at the sky. "But you might want to put up the top. It could rain."
Elizabeth looked up. Not a cloud could be seen in the sky. "I'll take my chances."
"Your rental agreement covers water damage?"
"There's no possibility of rain." Besides, when in all of her twenty-eight years had she done something just because some man told her to? She hopped up into the truck, clicked the seat belt into place and turned to Rick. "I don't understand why you won't do the show."
Rick sighed and shifted the truck into Drive. "You're relentless."
"That's why I'm the best." Because she knew which buttons to push to get what she wanted. She only needed to dig a little more. "It's a great opportunity. Aren't you interested in finding love? In meeting the woman you're destined to spend the rest of your life with?" She leaned closer, her voice softer, more intimate. "It can work this time. I know it."
"Why? It didn't back then." He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel to the beat of the Kenny Chesney song playing on the radio. "Call me crazy, but I don't relish the idea of going through that again."
"It will be different."
"How? I'll still be making a fool of myself on TV." He shifted his gaze to her. "Besides, I had more fun talking with you between takes than on any of those fantasy dates you sent me on."
She glanced at him before looking out the window again. "Everyone wants you back."
She could feel the heat in her cheeks. "You're the most popular contestant the show has ever had. We get hundreds of letters a week asking us to bring you back." She faced him again. "You owe it to America to be on the show."
"Somehow I think you're exaggerating things."
She was losing him. He wasn't interested in money, love or fame. What else could he want? She changed gears. "If this is about reliving history, we'll do a better job this time. You won't end up humiliated and alone."
"It must be nice to control the universe."
She reached over and put a hand on his arm. Ignored the skitter in her stomach at the feel of his muscles underneath the denim jacket. "Tell me what you want, and I'll guarantee it."
He turned into the parking lot of the diner and parked in the back. "Time's up."
She sighed. When had she lost her touch? Men jumped at the chance to have twenty-four beautiful women fawning over them. But then Rick had never been a typical man. "If you would just give me a chance "
He scratched his head and replaced his ball cap. "Think that's what I just did." He got out of the truck, then poked his head back in. "See you inside."
Elizabeth watched him walk toward the diner. She could hear the loud shouts from those inside as he entered. She had to make him realize he needed to be on the show. Give him the thing he wanted most, whatever that was.
The perfect cheeseburger. That was what she wanted more than anything. Unfortunately, she didn't eat cheeseburgers anymore. And it didn't help that she sat outside a diner that she suspected must serve them to perfection.
Elizabeth slammed her hand on the dashboard, then tried to shake away the pain. This was crazy. She could have sent anyone else to come out here to talk to Rick, so why torture herself?
Her cell phone sang a Diana Ross tune, and a chill passed over her. "Hi, Mom."
"Bethie, I'm in an awful fix."
Elizabeth closed her eyes. How many times had she heard those same words? "Who was he this time?"
"I didn't know he was married. Honest." Her mom sighed. "And now he fired me."
Of course. They always did. "Mom, I can't talk right now. I'm working."
"I only need a couple of hundred this time." Her mom's voice became whiny, which was not a good sign. "My rent is overdue, and my cupboards are bare. Please, Bethie. You remember what this is like."
The goose bumps intensified on Elizabeth's arms, and she shivered. She couldn't forget, even in her nightmares. "Have you been looking for a job?"
"I've applied at a few restaurants, but you know how this economy is." Her mom started crying. "Who's gonna hire a washed-up waitress when they could hire any of a dozen half my age? What am I gonna do?"
Elizabeth swallowed and closed her eyes, massaging her forehead in circles as if the motion would turn back time. Give her a different mother. A different childhood. "Tell me where to send it. I'll have it there by tomorrow morning."
"You're the best daughter, Bethie."
"Thanks, Mom."
"I love you."
Her phone beeped, and she glanced at the incoming phone number. The head of development at the studio. "Mom, I've got another phone call coming in. Text me with the details later, okay?"
She switched to the other line. "Elizabeth Maier."
"Did he sign the contracts yet?"
She wasn't ready to deal with pressure from the studio. Couldn't he give her a few days at least? "You're always to the point, Devon."
"That's why they pay me the big bucks." He chuckled on the other end. "I don't need to remind you what's at stake. We want Rick."
That had been made abundantly clear.
"Yes, sir."
"You got this job because you promised results. Don't let us down."
"I always deliver." Always had. Always would. She straightened her blouse and sat up straighter. "That's why you promoted me."
"Didn't hurt that your boss was having an inappropriate relationship with one of the bachelorettes, either." Devon paused. "The story's been leaked on the internet and hits the newsstands tomorrow."

How Much Faith Do You Need To Foster?
A Review of "Faith to Foster," getting a peek into serving as a foster family for children in need of care.
Faith to Foster isn't a how-to guide—although the practical tips are there. It's not a self-righteous "look at what we've done," memoir—although, what they've done is remarkable. It's an invitation to peek inside the Menn's home to see what it looks like for a young couple to take a step of faith and care for... Continue Reading
Theonomy, Greg Bahnsen, and the Federal Vision- Part Two
Bahnsen's writings laid the foundation for the Federal Vision, particularly in the areas of the sacraments, conditional perseverance, apostasy, the mono-covenantal structure of Scripture, and the law.
Bahnsen is guilty of two errors in his work on theonomy. First, he established a new paradigm for the law by connecting the believer's obedience to the whole Old Testament law in exhaustive detail. Second, he emphasized obedience to the law so strenuously that he often comes close to the dangerous Pelagian spectrum of errors.... Continue Reading
9 Secrets Pastors Keep
Which secrets are you hiding from your church members?
So while those in your congregation may not be fully aware of the common stressors each pastor deals with, remember that pastors are not called to be God but to model what it looks like to follow him. That's one truth you can be comfortable sharing with them. As a pastor, every Sunday you... Continue Reading
Mean-spirited Reporting
Getting the facts isn't as hard as some make it seem; The Washington Post deserves no better than a C- for a story it did about Asheville, N.C.
But the measure's main goal was immediately interpreted and publicly portrayed by homosexuals, lesbians, transsexuals, etc., as a restraint on their liberties. Joining them in that protest were the mainstream media, academia, mainline churches, and—perhaps most significant—some leaders in business and travel. Major corporations (like PayPal) as well as huge sporting groups (like the NBA... Continue Reading
Why Are So Many Millennials Having Children Out of Wedlock?
A new study shows that access to jobs and income inequality are shaping this generation's decisions to start a family.
They come from a specific group of young Americans who don't have college degrees, live in areas with high income inequality, and tend not to have very bright job prospects. The study, published this month in the journal American Sociological Review, found that in areas with the greatest income inequality, young men and women were... Continue Reading
15 Things the Proverbs Teach About How to Post on Facebook – Or Anywhere Else
The importance of writing and speaking with temperance in public places and web sites.
The Proverbs have much to teach us about how to use our tongues, as well as how to use our fingers as we type strongly-held opinions in a super-charged political climate. While Facebook can be a good place to air out ideas and to expose yourself to different views, there are at least 15 things... Continue Reading
California Hospitals Reject Assisted Suicide Prescription
After California legalizes euthanasia, growing number of medical centers refuse to participate
Euthanasia advocates applauded the bill, while critics warned it might encourage physicians and family members to pressure patients to end their own lives. Hospitals are caught in the middle, but those with moral qualms about assisted suicide, or that don't have the resources to cater to it, are opting out of the lethal network. ... Continue Reading
Where Evangelicals Stand on Transgender Morality
While more than half of evangelical believers (54%) said it's wrong to identify with a different gender, just 35 percent of Americans share that view
LifeWay asked 1,000 Americans whether they thought that changing one's gender or identifying with a different gender is morally wrong. Respondents also had the option to select "it's not a moral issue." As politicians debate restroom access, employment protection, insurance coverage, and military service for transgender people, questions of morality have emerged. Is it... Continue Reading
Back to the Early Church?
It will not do to romanticize the early church into something that is inherently superior
During the early church, errors flourished. Errors existed over large matters such as the deity and incarnation of Christ (Colossians) and justification by faith alone in Christ alone (Galatians). People struggled with other errors. Did God's people miss the resurrection of the righteous (2 Tim. 2:18)? Will dead Christians miss Christ's return (1 Thess. 4:13-18)?... Continue Reading
United Methodist Schism & Local Churches
A debate in over 30,000 local United Methodist congregations about sex will be the mother of all ecclesial battles, exceeding in rancor and venom all previous controversies.
That a formal United Methodist schism, forcing thousands of local congregations effectively to choose sides, would be chaotic and destructive does not of course mean it won't happen. And maybe, from the perspective of purity, such division must happen, before there can be renewal and new life, some firmly believe. But whatever happens, United Methodist... Continue Reading
Taking Back Christianese #3: "God is Always Pleased with You"
Is this response helpful? Yes and no. It depends on what a person means and how they frame it.
It confuses justification and sanctification. This phrase can be used in such a way that it takes what is true of justification (God sees the perfect righteousness of Christ) and applies it without qualification to our sanctification (therefore God is never concerned about our sin). In other words, it assumes that if God is pleased... Continue Reading
The World's True Hope
Where are Christians to look in seeking for hope in 2016?
What is the hope to which Christians should be looking in this world? Our hope is not in the secular city, which in time always reverts to the Cainite mean. Our hope is in God, on whom we call, to whom we pray, to whom we offer worship, and for whom we proclaim the saving... Continue Reading
Explainer: Divine Simplicity and the Trinitarian Controversy
If you have followed the recent upheaval over the Trinity and gender, you may have asked yourself these questions
This doctrine [divine simplicity] was once taken for granted by basically everyone, from the earliest days of the church through to the Reformation and beyond, and only became unfamiliar quite recently. I'm not going to be able to explain all the details of the idea here. My objective is twofold: to give a basic outline... Continue Reading
What Did Jesus Do for Women?
In a world where women had little or no legal rights and got little or no respect as intellectuals or spiritual people, Jesus came along and turned the world's view of women upside-down.
Contemporary feminists often blame Christianity for being anti-women. Some neo-pagan-minded feminists put "goddess" bumper stickers on their cars, imagining that a return to the days of goddess-worship would liberate them from the male-dominated oppression of the church. A close reading of the New Testament against the cultural background of the first-century Roman Empire tells a... Continue Reading
Your Work Never Goes Unseen
Our work is done for God's glory and fame, not our own. It's not done for the praise or accolades of man but for the sake of our Savior.
So friends, if you are working hard for the Lord, don't give up. Don't despair. All your work done for God's glory is storing up for you eternal treasures that far outweigh any accolades or acknowledgement in the here and now. None of it is wasted or lost. Your quiet faithfulness in all things, even... Continue Reading
CALVINIST: A Documentary On the Development of the Modern Calvinist Movement
The film's anticipated release date in October 2017.
Well-known and not-so well-known Calvinists alike will be interviewed and help explain where Calvinism came from and why it is making a sudden comeback.

Finally, the film will seek to point young Reformed people... Continue Reading
I Am Not a Complementarian
I need a new way to describe myself.

A Prayer of Christ-Loving Voters
A prayer to the eternal God for clarity, perspective and priorities as we face issues in our temporal setting.
Yet here on this Earth that You have created, many other things will end. Peace eventually ends, as do wars. Wealth is seldom permanent. Nations rise and fall. Political parties come and go. Companies are launched and go bankrupt. Technology is invented and becomes obsolete. Illnesses come and go. You even tell us in Your... Continue Reading
Tribune Of Poor White People: An Interview with J. D. Vance, Author of "Hillbilly Elegy"
"Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and a Culture in Crisis" is an American classic, an extraordinary testimony to the brokenness of the white working class, but also its strengths.
Interestingly, both in my conversations with poor blacks and whites, there's a recognition of the role of better choices in addressing these problems. The refusal to talk about individual agency is in some ways a consequence of a very detached elite, one too afraid to judge and consequently too handicapped to really understand. At the...

The Marrow of Calvinism
The Calvinist believes that God is the Lord of life and Sovereign of the universe
God's sovereignty is the marrow of doctrinal Calvinism—provided we understand that this sovereignty is not arbitrary but is the sovereignty of the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. As [John] Duncan wrote: "It is a holy will that rules the universe—a will in which loving-kindness is locked up, to be in due time... Continue Reading
The Trinity: God is Not an Undifferentiated Monad
The God of Scripture is Triune: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is a Triunity.
"To put it another way, God's unity is ontological and not just ethical. God's unity is not the result of a harmonious unanimous vote within the Godhead. The three persons do not form a committee. God's unity just is the complete and whole interpenetration of the three persons of Father, Son, and Spirit." Some... Continue Reading
Ken Ham and Bill Nye: Round Two
Young Earth Creationist Ken Ham and Bill Nye "The Science Guy" have squared off again
"At the very least, round two of the Ham-Nye bout demonstrates the intractability of the creationist position, at least on the popular level. A cursory glance at the comments section of The Washington Post article, for instance, reveals a number of proud Ham supporters." Young Earth Creationist Ken Ham and Bill Nye "The Science...

What It Means That Mike Pence Called Himself An 'Evangelical Catholic'
The phrase says a lot about religion, Indiana and the governor himself
"One of the more publicly shared accounts of Pence's transition from a Catholic youth minister who wanted to be a priest to an evangelical megachurch member came in 1994. That's when he told the Indianapolis Business Journal about an intense period of religious searching that he underwent in college." Donald Trump's vice presidential pick,... Continue Reading
Resting Upon the Pillow of God's Promises
The truth of God's promises comforts and provides rest for his children
"Each night before bed I consider my day. I think of my sin, God's evident grace, and his unflinching faithfulness. As I prayerfully inspect my own heart my head rests on the pillow of God's promises. They are the comfort and means of rest to my restless soul." Recently my wife bought me a... Continue Reading
5 Principles Megachurches Can Learn From Small Churches
Healthy small churches have characteristics that make them work
"Big churches are fond of saying 'every number is a person', which is true. But when the crowd gets huge, sometimes people feel like numbers. In a healthy church, every person is a person, not a number." Small churches receive a lot from our megachurch friends. We read their books, sing their songs, use... Continue Reading
Heil! the Coming Progressive Utopia
Scotland is a land where preaching the Gospel is compared to noxious Nazism.
The opposition to Christianity takes a troubling turn with the not-so veiled threat of progressive Harvard Professor Mark Tushnet: "The culture wars are over; they [the Christians] lost, we won….taking a hard line is better than trying to accommodate the losers." There will be, he warns, no accommodations or exceptions. Commentators in major national... Continue Reading
Does Complementarity Just Boil Down to a Tiebreaker?
The special responsibility of the husband as head isn't about a moment in a tiebreaker decision
When it comes to something more substantial, like uprooting the family for a career, both husband and wife should empathize with one another. I do believe the husband is called to sacrifice first for the wife. But the first priority of that sacrifice for his wife is to consider the effects of their decision under... Continue Reading
How To Pray When Your Soul Is Bone Dry
Perhaps the hardest thing to do in those times is to even make the effort to pray.
Pray boldly but also pray confidently, relying not on your own words or wisdom, but on the Spirit's intercession. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our... Continue Reading
Misplaced Fear
Who are you going to fear? Are you going to fear the LORD or are you going to fear man?
So I'm wondering: How would this election cycle change for us if we were motivated by "the fear of the LORD" instead "the fear of Hillary Clinton" or "the fear of Donald Trump"? What would change if we were kept awake at night by our concern to properly reverence the LORD and not our fear... Continue Reading
Eight Warning Signs of a Bully Church Member
Early warning signs so you won't be blindsided

11. Cutting Curved Stretchers
Most of the pieces in this dresser are cut square and straight with a table saw. But the curved stretchers between the legs at both ends have to be made with a band saw. It takes a practiced eye and a confident hand to cut a smooth curve on this machine.

EDIT: It should be noted that I stated in my original question that I was able to get this working for Twitter (I used the referenced question/answer to get that working) . . . I just needed the answer for how to do it with Facebook. I haven't found an equivalent way to do this with Facebook.
I'm using ShareKit to allow my users to share data from my App with Facebook and Twitter.
I'm having a particular issue with Facebook sharing.
My App is almost completely voice controlled, so upon a voice command I call:
// Create the item to share (in this example, a url)
SHKItem *item = [SHKItem URL:@"http://someurl.com" title:@"some title"];
// Share the item

This works fine, except the user is presented with a dialog (I think a UIWebView) that allows them to edit the post and either cancel or publish.
Since the App is voice controlled, I want to skip this step, basically programmatically click "publish" for them (call the publish method programmatically). I don't mind if that dialog appears briefly and then goes away (this is how I handle Twitter, I was able to figure out how to do this with Twitter). I'm having no luck finding this publish method though - I assume this is because it is a server side call handled by FBConnect.
Any ideas on a) what code to use to do this, and b) where to put that code)?
Many thanks in advance.

As the debate on whether the United States should bomb Syria rages on and on, there is agreement on one point: Both sides are the bad guys. The forces with the rebels include those with al-Qaida links. Are they as bad as the Assad regime that the rebels are trying to eliminate? The records of both sides are much the same — savages!
The Obama administration believes Assad used chemical weapons on innocent people. Yes, some form of punishment should be leveled if the proof we have is reliable. However, the United States has waited so long in making a decision, would an attack be successful since Assad has had plenty of time to prepare for one? The element of surprise has gone with the political winds. A strike would be justified based on the evidence of use of chemical weapons, but we must never commit ground troops, and we must not get into a prolonged engagement.

Welcome to our website! We are always adding to and updating our resources; we hope you enjoy browsing around.
Welcome to a bookstore which attempts to create a new space for serious, reflective readers. Unabashedly Christian, we are often told that we are different than most religious bookstores. Our name, we trust, gives a good first clue to what we are about.
What distinguishes us most is our enthusiasm for the development of a uniquely Christian worldview where Christ's Lordship is honored and lived out in relevant ways in the midst of our highly secularized, post-modern culture. We offer quality books for the sake of faithful Christian living. We serve business folk, scientists, artists, college students, moms, dads (and kids!), pastors, poets and politicos. We believe Biblical faith leads to "thinking Christianly" about every area of life.

Eagle's Landing Christian Academy (McDonough, Ga.) junior Dazmon Cameron has everything going for him: he plays on a winning team, he has loads of talent and his bloodlines include a father who was one of the top defensive outfielders in the Major Leagues.
So it's no wonder that Cameron tops the MaxPreps Top 50 Juniors list for the Class of 2015. Last year as a sophomore, Cameron was one of the top players in Georgia, leading his team to the Class A state championship and a 30-3 record. He was named the Henry County Herald Player of the Year after batting .434 with seven home runs and 28 RBIs.
Cameron, whose father is former MLB centerfielder Mike Cameron, has already been selected to play in the Under Armour All-American Game, which will be played in August at Wrigley Field. He tops a list of 50 of the nation's top juniors, chosen by MaxPreps based on national recruiting rankings, all-star game participation, statistics and all-state honors.
Two-way standout Kyle Molnar of Aliso Niguel (Aliso Viejo, Calif.) comes in at the No. 2 spot after earning MaxPreps Sophomore All-American honors last year. He went 8-3 on the mound as a sophomore and also batted .348 with three home runs. He will try to lead his team to a possible national ranking as Aliso Niguel plays in the National High School Invitational in late March.
Outfielder Ryan Johnson of College Station (Texas) is the No. 3 player. Johnson has also been selected to play in the Under Armour All-American Game and he was a member of the Texas Area Code Games team last summer.

Newton's Third Law of Motion; Action and Reaction
Table of Contents
Isaac Newtons Third Law consists of the fact that when an action occurs, an equal and opposite reaction occurs as well. For instance, when the action of air rushing out of a balloon takes place, the reaction is that the balloon is forced away. (See figure 1) Newtons third law is also called the law of reciprocal forces. This indicates that there is never a case of undirectional force. One example of this that is used to make people think is "What two forces push against each other to make a car move?" Many people think the answer has something to do with the engine, but the only interaction of two opposing forces, is between the tires and the ground. How fast the car goes is a question of
|Figure 1
- Interaction- Mutual action between one thing and another
- Action Force- The Origional force (ex: Action, the hammer pounds the nail)
- Reaction Force- The other force (ex: Reaction, the nail halts the hammer)
- Force- A powerfull effect or influence.
- Mass- How much matter an object contains
- Acceleration- Speed with a direction
- Momentum- Accumulated force from acceleration.
Section 1
Forces and interactions go hand in hand. One of the first things that had to be realized about a force, which in the beginning was thought of as a simple push or pull, was that they come in pairs and that they are always equal. For example, If you where to cause the common interaction of, a hammer pounding a nail into a piece of wood. The obvious action is that the nail is forced into the wood. But what exactly causes the hammer from continuing right on through? THE FORCE OF THE NAIL! The nail has an equal amount of force pushing back on the hammer that stops it from smacking it all the way down into the piece of wood. In general, the terms push and pull are strictly used for living being that could physically do the action. But the same could be said for a wall with a rope attached, with the other end of the rope attached to a truck's trailer hitch. If the wall were to for some reason fall backwards away from the truck. It would be plausible that the wall physically invoked the action of pulling.[1] One of the hardest parts about recognizing Newton's Third Law of Motion, is deciding which force is the "action" force, and which is the "reaction" force. An example of this would be the case of the falling boulder. To decide which force is which, there is a relatively simple "equation."
Action: Object A exerts a force on object B.
Reaction: Object B exerts a force on object A.
If it is concluded that Object A is the boulder and that the force placed upon it is that the earth's gravitational field is pulling on it, (causing it to fall) then the earth must be object B.
It is thusly concluded that the Action is the earth exerting force on the boulder, then the reaction is that the boulder is exerting force on the earth.
Section 2
|Figure 2
Mass plays an enormous role in Newton's Third Law. As stated in the previous section, If a boulder were to fall towards the earth, you could rightly say that the earth is falling upwards toward the boulder as well. But the fact that the Earth's mass is so much greater than that of the boulder that the movement of our planet towards the boulder is so infinitely small that you don't notice it. Another example is if you were walking down a flight of stairs, each step actually comes up a miniscule amount to meet you. A more obvious show of this display is when a cannon fires a cannon ball, (see figure 2) why does the cannon ball shoot out so far with a large amount of acceleration; when the cannon itself is only "kicked back" about a foot or so?
In physics sometimes you will be comparing two objects to figure out their contrasting forces, mass's, and accelerations. The force of the two objects is always equal and opposite, so it is always represented by "F". You would use a large "M" for the object that has more mass, and a lower case "m" for the object that has less mass. The same rule applies for the acceleration of the objects. (ie: "A" is the object that gains the most acceleration, while "a" is the object with less acceleration.) In the example of the cannon and the cannon ball the formula comparison would look like this.
Cannon: F/M=a while Cannonball: F/m=A
As you can see, the reason the cannonball moves so much further than the cannon is because the masses of the two objects differ so greatly that the resulting acceleration is also a differential variable.(3)
Section 3
Considering wheels and/or non-friction inducing environments.
Imagine yourself in the situation where a friend is sitting in a cart, and asks you to pull them by the rope that they are holding. If you remember that because of Isaac Newton's third law of motion, equal and opposite forces ( you pulling on the cart, which in turn too would be pulling on you) cancel out. Thus implying that you should not theoretically be able to make the cart move. But it is a well known fact that Newton's third law of motion is true, and does indeed apply to every situation that contains any two forces. But it is also a well known fact that you can pull a cart by a rope. How is this possible? Well if you think of the different forces at work, it is actually quite simple. The main problem in the logic of this proposed theory is that the typical interaction between forces, happens between only two forces. But in this scenario, there are six total forces to compare. To make it simpler there are three pairs of interactions. Once you figure out what pushes/pulls on what, the questioned theory is easier to understand. It is not just a question of you and the cart, you have to take into account that the ground, as well as friction are also in play.
So, once it is decided that you pull on the cart, and the cart pulls on you and that that interaction is canceled, move on to the next interaction. Between you and the ground, typically, that interaction would end with you moving in the direction of your choice, but because the mass of the cart is so much more than yours, you wouldn't move anywhere. ( force cancled?) let's move on. friction.

Tom Smart, Deseret News
Establishing greater expectations for the youth of the Church and teaching with unity and power were all topics discussed by Church leaders during the annual Seminaries and Institutes of Religion Training Broadcast held Aug. 5.
The live broadcast originated from the Conference Center Little Theater in Salt Lake City and will be translated into more than 20 languages for Seminaries and Institutes of Religion personnel, stake and institute teachers and supervisors throughout the world.
Elder Paul V. Johnson of the Seventy and Commissioner of Education for the Church spoke of two things that parents — and instructors — can do to raise children in righteousness.
1. Make decisions based on the long view.
"Decisions aren't based on what is easiest now, but what will be most helpful to their children later in life, and even in the eternities," he said. "They seem to have a sense about what is best to do now to help their children become all that they should become."
Often parents are tempted to make decisions based on what will make the parent look better at the moment or what is easiest in the short term, he said.
"It seems that some parents end up doing much of their children's schoolwork and school projects," he said. "While we want our children to do well in school, a parent who does the work designed to help the student learn will actually cripple the child's learning and put them at a disadvantage in the future. Sometimes that pressure to be able to brag about how well our children are doing in school or in other activities or awards they have received can blind us to what will actually help them learn and grow."
Elder Johnson said children can sense — even if they can't articulate it — whether a parent is motivated by selfishness or by what the parent believes is best for the child.
"We can help our children see the long view in their own lives," he said. "Possibly, the most powerful way to do this is by being the type of people we want them to become. If they see us trying to be Christlike, they will be more likely to try to emulate Him, too."
2. Use true principles of teaching and guidance.
Drawing from Doctrine and Covenants section 121, Elder Johnson shared scriptures about principles of priesthood leadership, adding that they can also be applied to parenting. It is upon principles of righteousness that parents are able to help guide their children.
"Fear, force, manipulation and unrighteous dominion won't affect changes we want in our children," he said. "These tactics may bring results, but not the results we want, because the powers of heaven are not brought into the equation."
It is through using righteous principles that parents are able to help children see their own potential and develop a desire to try and to succeed.
"These two principles of parenting, taking the long view and using true principles of teaching and guidance, are as applicable to teachers as they are to parents," he said.
"I hope we can all take the long view and help our children and our students become more than they imagine of themselves," he said. "I hope we help our children and our students progress by adhering to righteous principles that are connected with the powers of heaven. We need the powers of heaven in this sacred work. It can't be done without them."
Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson, Young Women general president, spoke of the need to have greater expectations for the youth of the Church.

Rhaphiolepis indica Seeds
Indian Hawthorn
Indian Hawthorns are compact evergreen shrubs that grow 1 to 1.5m in height, eventually forming a mound that is about as wide as high.
This species is a native of Asia, especially India and southern China, grown for its decorative pink flowers, and is popular in bonsai culture. The oblong leaves are thick and leathery with serrated edges. They are dark green on top and lighter on the bottom and 8 to 10cm in length. The leaf size is quickly reduced with regular pruning and pot constriction.
Star shaped fragrant flowers are held at branch tips in loose clusters and are white to pink, with five petals. Flowers are followed by blue-black fruits which provide food for berry eating birds. The fruit is edible when cooked, and can be used to make jam. Dark blue, turquoise, and purple dyes are obtained from the fruit. They thrive in well-drained soil whether in sun or part shade. Avoid overhead irrigation, especially at night. Usually Indian hawthorns are quite rugged given proper conditions. Provide average moisture, this shrub is drought tolerant once established.
A free Bonsai eBook will be sent to your email.
The Rhaphiolepis genus includes, but is not limited to the following species. Rhaphiolepis ferruginea, Rhaphiolepis indica, Rhaphiolepis integerrima, Rhaphiolepis lanceolata, Rhaphiolepis liukiuensis, Rhaphiolepis major, Rhaphiolepis salicifolia, Rhaphiolepis umbellata and Rhaphiolepis wuzhishanensis.

A book event
In his latest book, historian Paul Kengor studies a deeply troubling aspect of American history: the prominent role of the "dupe." From the Bolshevik Revolution through the Cold War and right up to the present, many progressives have unwittingly aided some of America's most dangerous opponents.
Based on fascinating archival information – including previously unpublished FBI files and documents from the Soviet Comintern archives – Kengor examines the legions of liberals who often provided fodder for the enemy. He identifies a wide range of figures, from "Potemkin Progressives" like John Dewey, George Bernard Shaw, and H. G. Wells to "Progressives for Obama" like Tom Hayden, Mark Rudd, Jane Fonda, and Bill Ayers; from Hollywood stars like Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall to playwrights like Arthur Miller and Lillian Hellman; and from Dr. Benjamin Spock to Dr. Howard Zinn. Yet, he also defends such liberal icons as Woodrow Wilson, Harry Truman, and John F. Kennedy, showing how they were trashed and demonized by Soviet and American Communists. At the same time, Kengor reflects on the fact that the ranks of the duped once included an actor named Ronald Reagan – who, of course, became perhaps America's greatest anti-Communist.
Paul Kengor, Ph.D., is the New York Times bestselling author of God and Ronald Reagan, The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism, and several other books. A professor of political science and the executive director of the Center for Vision and Values at Grove City College, he has written for the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Political Science Quarterly, among other publications. Kengor has appeared on Fox News, MSNBC, NPR, C-SPAN, and many other outlets.

Truth at Last
Truth at Last
The Untold Story Behind James Earl Ray and the Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
Lyons Press, Hardcover, 9781599212845, 224pp.
Publication Date: April 1, 2008
In reality, evidence reveals James Earl Ray was inducted into the CIA as a young man in the U.S. Army and subjected to mind control experimentation--in the same era when psychological drugs are known to have been administered by the armed services to unknowing recruits in an attempt to control human behavior. Later, in the two years prior to the King assassination, Ray was under the influence of several government-connected hypnotists seemingly working to make him an obedient patsy.
Ray's case never went to trial, and many, including the King family, concluded that there had been a conspiracy, yet a government investigation in 2000 revealed that there was no evidence to suggest it.
In Truth At Last, Ray's eldest brother John Larry Ray and Martin Luther King Jr. historian Lyndon Barsten, offer incontrovertible evidence that James Earl Ray could not have assassinated Dr. King. John Larry Ray reveals the true secret history of his infamous brother, who for a lifetime claimed, "The Army put me on the road to ruin." Barsten documents John Larry Ray's assertions by drawing on scores of personal interviews and more than 4,000 Freedom of Information Act requests--including Ray's Army unit records. Together, they offer a startling new look at Ray's life, his encounters with theFeds and the Mob, and the crime that shook the world.
John Larry Ray is the eldest brother of James Earl Ray and was witness to much of his brother's covert life. John has spent 25 years in federal prison falsely imprisoned by the federal government for knowing too much about the murder of Martin Luther King Jr. He lives in Illinois. Lyndon Barsten is a lay historian who lectures frequently about the murder of Martin Luther King Jr. and has done so for the U.S. Congressional Black Caucus. Barsten's activism has freed up tens of thousands of new pages of materials on the MLK assassination. He lives with his family in Minnesota.

>Crescent City California News, Sports, & Weather | The Triplicate
From the pages of the Del Norte Triplicate, January 1963.
Scheduled to begin Tuesday in Crescent Judicial Court are proceedings which could affect commercial fishermen all along the coasts of Northern California and Southern Oregon.
Indications have been heard that the case, which on the surface only involves two Brookings fishermen, might be appealed all the way to the California Supreme Court or higher.
The two fishermen, Sam Sprague and Arnold Badger, are charged with illegally crab fishing in California waters of Pelican Bay. The say they were not in California waters; California game wardens say the reverse.
