Who's at the wheel? What really controls the decisions and actions we commonly think of as ours? Do our brains really belong to us, or do we belong to our brains? David Eagleman kicks up a hornet's nest of head-scratchers like these throughout this fascinating book that reveals how much our unconscious minds control our lives.
Surveying a slew of neurological research, Eagleman shows how the human brain has evolved to handle the large majority of daily life through sub-conscious routines, or--as he puts it--zombie programs. This goes well beyond low-level survival activities like breathing and digesting food. Almost any skill that we master becomes an embedded zombie program that operates better without conscious attention. Riding a bike, catching a pop-fly, or playing the piano all depend on a myriad of complex calculations that our brains carry out without active through. What's more is that most of the decisions we make, such as which member of the opposite sex to pursue or whether or not to behave violently, are based not on rational thought--but rather brain chemistry to which we have no conscious access.
After convincingly laying out this argument, Eagleman raises some compelling points about how the criminal-justice system should adapt to reflect our new understanding of behavior and the brain. If we don't actively choose our genes and if those genes (coupled with experiences) don't just influence violent, anti-social acts but rather direct them, he argues, then the question of culpability has no place in a murder trial. Rather, the standard should be whether or not an individual poses a future threat to society. Then instead of punishment and retribution, he says, justice should focus on rehabilitation through advanced therapy influenced by the latest neurological breakthroughs.
Though he definitely has a point, Eagleman ignores one important role of the justice system--to depersonalize crimes and convert the motivation for revenge into the understanding that criminals must "pay a debt to society." Even if we can someday "cure" a serial killer through brain rehabilitation, there will no doubt be some need to to satisfy the victims families' desire for punishment, or else their unconscious zombie routines are likely to push them toward violent retribution.
Eagleman's point isn't to obliterate the idea of personal responsibility, but the argument does raise some troubling questions about individual agency and even identity itself. We're all fond of believing that we are who we are and we do what we do because of the decisions we make. Yet Eagleman shows that even in studies measuring why people chose to raise a finger at a certain moment, it's clear that the unconscious mind initiated the action before the conscious mind decided to take credit for it. Even though his final chapters show that the complex interaction between nature and nurture invalidates a reductionist understanding of people as no more than the sum of their neurons, it's impossible to leave this book without wondering what we really mean when we say "I." Am I the me that takes credit for all the things my zombie programs really do, am I simply the sum of all these zombie programs, or am I the unknowable something in between?

text: Life is beautiful but full of paradox. It has its own behavioral pattern and an agenda for all. There are many aspects of life which doesn't go pari passu with the logical end of the events. It is a mirage which has the capacity to stun you every time you think it to fall in line with your wishes. Each event in life has the potential of being a hit or a miss. It is also possible that a hit or a miss can be the end point for the same person. For the same event, it may be the high point for some with respect to one and low point with respect to some other one. Don't you think that the assassination of the Mahatma Gandhi was the pinnacle for the killer and nadir for the world –a hit or a miss or vice versa? Life's paradox has a shocking, stunning, staggering and stupefying impact on your nubile thinking. At times one feel incapacitated by its ways and there is no way out but to submit oneself to annihilation. Is it possible for the mortal humans to break these shackles of paradoxical life with its already chained thoughts and actions? So, life always has its ways – the manner, motive, measure and means may be different but the impact is the same. One should be careful in negotiating the paradox of life, only if one has the inkling of the same. A hit can never be a hit forever and same is true for a miss. Wait for your turn of a hit or a miss because life always provide you with one to salvage your position vis-à-vis your date with the event.

Sunday, September 6, 2009
Wow. I cannot believe it has been so long since my last post. I promise it's not because I've jumped ship on the blogging world. It's more like I've been in the middle of the hurricane on the ship and unable to write much for doing much! If I were actually on a real ship my captains log would have said, "another day of winds, rain, and high waves...we're just staying afloat. Will write more later". (Did captain's logs every say "will write more later"? Probably not...) Lets see, since I last wrote, well, the majority of time has been taken up working on getting our guest room ready for visitors this weekend. Let me just tell you, owning an older home is not for the faint of heart! From the time Aaron and I started dating we'd walk around our college town, which was chock full of beautiful old homes, and say that one day we wanted to buy one for ourselves and fix it up. Well, after we got married we moved to Texas, and there isn't much old in Texas to begin with. Well, at least not in Fort Worth and not preserved the way it was or taken care of. The "older" neighborhoods were very run down and you didn't want to live there. Everyone lived in what I fondly refer to as "house farms". Old fields, sold to developers with approximately five house plans/building fronts, who built as many on that one piece of property as possible. This resulted in houses with very small yards, very close together, and very similar. A far cry from the "older house with character" that Aaron and I had dreamed of. We didn't buy while out in Fort Worth, God never gave us a peace about it, and for good reason looking back now. We left just before the housing market collapsed. And while we were out there we lived in seminary housing, then another small apartment, and finally a rental house in a nice house farm neighborhood. But when I tell you that houses were all similar, I mean there were probably at least 20 different versions of the house we rented in the 10 miles around us. Just in case you think I'm exaggerating, we looked at renting one just like it (I mean exact same floor plan) that was a few years newer and about $100.00 more expensive every month. And, (this is the kicker) we hosted a teenage girls bible study at the house every wednesday night for about a year. One of the girls brought over a guest and she was looking around my house, basically all night, and then finally at the end of the night after someone else commented on the house she said "I don't mean to be rude or anything, but this is my grandfather's house." Now, the lady who owned our house is obviously NOT a grandfather, so obviously her grandfather lived in another house just like it. Lovely. But, it was a good house, and aside from painting and other cosmetic things, we really had very little to do with it. Now, we have the "charming" older house to fix up..."just like we always wanted". Famous last words!! Don't get me wrong, we LOVE our home. And we enjoy making it ours, but man alive is it a lot of work some days! For instance this guest room. We just wanted to paint it. But we have plaster walls, with peeling paint. (I have since learned plaster walls tend to have this problem). So, Aaron gets in there with the scraper and goes to town. This leaves us with large areas of the wall that now need to be filled in with patching plaster, and then sanded, and then primed, and THEN we can paint. Three weeks later, we were pushing it to get the painting finished before Aaron's grandfather comes to stay in it. This was not the first time we looked at each other and asked ourselves, "what were we thinking?" Especially Aaron since he ended up doing a lot of this himself because last weekend I was at a Beth Moore simulcast with two good friends of mine. I was so glad I made the time to go. I hemmed and hawed forever over whether or not to go. My friend April just LOVES Beth Moore, and had asked me about going a month or so ago. I knew we had a lot going on and it would take the one free weekend I had in between several busy ones. We've been doing this "Chase the Goose" study on Wednesday nights at the church, and it parallels our life with Christ as a "wild goose chase" and discusses several "cages" we live in as believers sometimes. One was the cage of routine. And boy, let me tell you, do I reside there fairly often. It's one cage I really like sometimes. God had kept nudging me to go, I felt I should, and then I read one day in that study, "change of place plus change of pace equals a change in perspective." God kinda jarred me in the head that I needed that as a change of place and pace to realign my perspective. So, I bought tickets and went. To even begin to discuss all that went on is beyond my skills...I'm sure you'll hear me refer back to it in many posts to come as I continue to process all that went on. Suffice to say, the topic was "the desires of our hearts" and she spoke out of Psalm 37. I truly believe that God knows, listens to and labors over the desires of my heart. What caring parent doesn't? And there have been too many instances in my life when God has met the desires of my heart I knew about and even the ones I didn't know I had. His hand is all over my life, protecting me, guiding me, teaching me and loving me. That is what has made it so hard recently when there has been a particular desire of my heart that I've had for so long that God has yet to bring to fruition. I wonder at this point exactly what He's continuing to wait on. To my human perspective, there really doesn't seem to be much. But, I have faith that He sees what I do not, that there is more going on here than I'm aware of, and that God has ultimately my best interests at heart. More than my best interests, His glory. And that, friends, is definitely worth waiting for!

An endangered pygmy hippopotamus has met the public for the first time at Buin Zoo, just south of Santiago, Chile.
The baby, who has yet to be named, weighed only 5.4kg when he was born on December 28. He is said to be eating well and has already made his first splashes in the pool.
Pygmy hippopotamuses are rare, even in captivity. As such, the birth is considered a huge achievement.
"It all contributes to the scientific community. In the background is the story of this baby's growth and, what is perhaps more important, is the fact that it is animal that comes from very interesting genes," explained Zoo Director Ignacio Idalsoaga. "The mix of this newborn is a very important contribution to the few examples that there are in captivity."
The father has been removed from the enclosure to allow a mother-baby bonding period.
The tiny calf is expected to reach 250kg when fully grown.

The Archbishop of RC Archdiocese Of New York, His Eminence, Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, has entered into a Public "Shouting Match", with a Rather Wealthy White Male and Builder of Edifices called "The Donald", as in Donald Trump. This story has to do with Immigration, both Lawful and Unlawful.
Mr Trump, New York City Born, in a neighborhood in Queens called Woodhaven, whose father called Fred was into building Affordable Apartments in Brooklyn, has talked about Unlawful Immigration. But this has upset Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, who never met a Camera Crew and Microphone he didn't like(Unless the Media Crew was from The Warehouse In Detroit & didn't have NYPD Press Credentials).
Cardinal Dolan wrote an Opinion Editorial Piece in the NY Daily News, making it seem that Donald Trump is acting like a member of the Nativist "Know Nothing" Party of the 19th Century.
For His Eminence's Information, The "Know Nothing" Movement is historically Masonic. The Freemasons are the authors of "Omerta"(Silence). And Mr Trump is NOT a Freemason.
And about your "Omerta" involving the Atrocities of Planned Parenthood, Your Eminence, we EAGERLY Await your response. Never mind this Shouting Match with Donald Trump, as Salvation of Souls is Your Business.
We Are Waiting, Your Eminence!

HI all,
Just want to make sure if someone is having this same issue:
Sometimes when I look through my pictures, i go through about 10, and then my screen turns off for a second. It will either flicker off and come back on, or it will turn off and then I have to turn it back on. It also sometimes happens when I am looking though other things in my phone. I tried just a basic restart of phone, but that didn't work.
I have very few patches installed and am wondering if that could be some sort of issue...
Has anyone else experienced this??

SCHOOLCRAFT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERSv.SCHOOLCRAFT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Appeal from Schoolcraft, Donald L. Munro, J.
Leave to appeal denied, 397 Mich 838.
Danhof, P. J., and D. E. Holbrook and Allen, JJ.
1. Statutes -- Interpretation -- Intent of Legislature -- Language of Act -- Scope -- Subject Matter -- Preceding Statutes -- History.
A court in determining the intent of the Legislature in enacting a statute must examine the language of the statute itself, the subject matter under consideration, the scope and purpose of the statute, and other statutes which may have preceded it or which relate to the same subject; the statute should be so construed that all of its provisions are rendered harmonious and recourse may be had to the history of the legislation upon the subject matter of the act.
2. Hospitals -- Chief Executive Officers -- Board of Trustees -- Subsequent Boards -- Resignation of Officers -- Appointments -- Statutes.
The intent of the Legislature in requiring the appointment of the chief executive officer of a county hospital to the initial hospital board of trustees was to also require that officer's appointment to any subsequent board of trustees for that hospital, therefore the appointment to the hospital board of a subsequent chief executive officer is mandatory when a vacancy is created by the resignation of the former chief executive officer (MCLA 331.153; MSA 14.1133).
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Per Curiam
Complaint by the Schoolcraft County Board of Commissioners against the Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees seeking a declaratory judgment affirming its choice of one of its own members to fill a vacancy on the defendant board. Judgment for plaintiff in part. Defendant appeals.
The origin of this suit stems from a vacancy on the Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees [hereinafter defendant] created by the resignation of the hospital's chief executive and board member. Plaintiff, Schoolcraft County Board of Commissioners, sought to appoint one of its members to the defendant board. Defendant insisted that plaintiff should appoint to the hospital board the new chief executive of the hospital. Plaintiff brought this declaratory judgment action to resolve the dispute. The lower court ruled that although plaintiff could not appoint one of its own members to the defendant board, it was not required by statute to appoint the new chief executive. This appeal followed.
The issue is whether statutory law required continuous appointment of the chief executive officer of a county hospital to the hospital board of trustees. *fn1 The involved statute provides:
"If a majority of all the votes cast upon the question are in favor of establishing a county public hospital, the board of commissioners shall proceed at once to appoint 9 trustees chosen from the citizens at large of the county with reference to their fitness to such office, 1 of whom shall be the chief executive officer of the hospital and not more than 3 of whom may be licensed physicians, who shall constitute a board of trustees for the public hospital. The trustees shall hold their offices until the end of the next following calendar year. In September, prior to the expiration of their terms of office, the board of trustees shall submit to the board of commissioners the names of not more than 2 qualified candidates for each appointment or reappointment. The board of commissioners, at its October meeting, shall appoint for terms commencing next January 1, 3 trustees for 2 years, 3 trustees for 4 years and 3 trustees for 6 years. As terms expire thereafter appointments shall be made for 6 years in the same manner. Appointments to unexpired terms shall be made in the same manner. All appointments and reappointments shall meet general eligibility qualifications hereinbefore stated." MCLA 331.153; MSA 14.1133.
Plaintiff and the lower court take the position that the statute requires a county board of commissioners to appoint the chief executive officer of a county hospital to the initial hospital board of trustees but does not dictate that the board of commissioners appoint the chief executive to any subsequent board of trustees. Defendant asserts that the statute makes no such distinction between the initial and subsequent boards, and that the history and language of the statute manifest a legislative intent that the chief executive must be appointed to any and all boards.
Each respective position of the litigants is not without some foundation and it is the Court's function to determine what the Legislature truly intended. Aikens v Department of Conservation, 387 Mich 495, 499; 198 NW2d 304 (1972), Kizer v Livingston County Board of Commissioners, 38 Mich App 239; 195 NW2d 884 (1972).

Scribner New York. 1998. Stephen King "BAG OF BONES" ARC PROOF. First Edition, First Printing. Special Advance Reader's Copy with the words NOT FOR SALE printed on the bottom of the front cover. Uncorrected proof. A softcover book. Personally inscribed by Stephen King directly onto the First Free End Paper. Contains full number line on copyright page.
"For Neil Cooherty-
All the best,
Stephen King"
The spirits of Herman Melville and Ray Bradbury are deeply felt, and so are the tale's two romances (the hero muses on his marriage and falls for a young single mom with a marvelous, psychic daughter). There is also good-humored satire of the real bestseller book world--the hero complains that "the publicity process is like going to a sushi bar where you're the sushi." In its deep concerns with love, sprawling families, the writer's life, endangered children, and good old-fashioned storytelling, the book resembles a John Irving novel. It is also absolutely classic Stephen King, packed with nifty turns of phrase, irreverent wit, and lurid ghouls who grab you from beneath the bed while you cower under the covers.

Why young Christians aren't waiting anymore
By John Blake, CNN
(CNN) –True love doesn't wait after all.
That's the implication in the upcoming October issue of an evangelical magazine that claims that young, unmarried Christians are having premarital sex almost as much as their non-Christian peers.
The article in Relevant magazine, entitled "(Almost) Everyone's Doing It," cited several studies examining the sexual activity of single Christians. One of the biggest surprises was a December 2009 study, conducted by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, which included information on sexual activity.
While the study's primary report did not explore religion, some additional analysis focusing on sexual activity and religious identification yielded this result: 80 percent of unmarried evangelical young adults (18 to 29) said that they have had sex – slightly less than 88 percent of unmarried adults, according to the teen pregnancy prevention organization.
The article highlights what challenges abstinence movements face. Movements such as "True Love Waits," encourage teens to wear purity rings, sign virginity pledges and pledge chastity during public ceremonies.
Yet many of these Christian youths eventually abandon their purity pledges, Relevant's Tyler Charles concludes in the article. Tyler talked to people like "Maria," an evangelical woman who said she wanted to wait until marriage to have sex.
But she said she started having sex with her college boyfriend when she turned 20 because nearly everyone, even most of her Christian friends, were having sex.
It seemed everyone in my life, older and younger, had "done it." In fact, I waited longer than most people I knew and longer than both of my sisters, even though we were all Christians and came from a good home.
Relevant theorizes about why it's so hard for so many young Christians to wait, including the saturation of sex in popular culture, the prevalence of pornography and a popular "do what feels good philosophy."
Comment by Wickus:
It is a sad state that the church is in. The church does not speak about sin and judgment anymore. I wonder sometimes, what is worse; the gay movement or the world church. Both is an abomination to the Lord. Is the one sin bigger than the other sin? We have a combination of a great stench going up in God's nostrils.

On Mar. 8, members from affinity unions, students and teachers came together in Room 306 for South's first diversity symposium, hosted by the Asian Student Union and the Black Student Union. The conference was led by Dr. Johnny Lake, a nationally recognized speaker, on community building, leadership and cross-cultural communication.
During the event, students participated in workshops such as role-playing discrimination by using smaller-scale situations and comparing them to broader issues.
"I felt that it was necessary, considering that we don't have any classes that discuss diversity even though it is legally required," junior Connor Gabor said. "It is a state law that every school has one semi-ethnic class, and we [might be] the only school in 4j or high school, to my knowledge, that doesn't have that [kind of] class."
In order to demonstrate discrimination, students wearing glasses were not allowed to speak. Students without glasses tried to individually speak up for the discrimination against the glasses-wearing students. However, only when the whole class stood up to this unfair treatment did the policy change. This was one of the many powerful demonstrations Dr. Lake taught to South students.
"One of the lessons I learned from Dr. Lake's presentation was from the story of the fish in its lane and how that's relevant with race and being black in Oregon where we are predominantly white, and our culture is very very white and liberal," Gabor said. "If they never have anyone else that is like them, then they will jump to another person's lane or jump out of the water, and they'll suffocate because that's not that's not their culture or environment. Then he [Dr. Lake] was saying that's why we need more diversity, so that was just something that stood out to me."
The symposium was one of the first steps taken by unions as part of the broader "Step Towards Change" program the administration started this year to not only increase affinity union club participation, but also raise more awareness about cultural diversity. At the end of the conference, participants wrote changes they want at our school on sticky notes. Dr. Lake will present these ideas to the 4J district superintendent.

We had such an enjoyable Easter holiday this past weekend, and it was even better because my Grandma Dorothy is in town. She loves to cook (she and my other grandmother have a lot to do with my love for cooking) and she made a delicious lunch of ham, sweet potatoes, roasted zucchini feta casserole and southern-style green beans. There was a ton of ham left, so Grandma sent a bunch home with Nathan and I. I decided to make Split Pea Soup with the leftovers because we love it and I wanted to make soup for Nathan since he's been sick.
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 large white onion, coarsely chopped
4 large carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 pound ham, chopped
10 cups water
2 pounds split peas
1 teaspoon garlic
1 teaspoon marjoram
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 ham hock (optional)
In a stock pot, heat olive oil. Saute onion, carrots and ham until onion is nearly tender. Add water and bring to a boil. Add peas and return to boil. Add spices and ham hock (if using). Simmer one hour, stirring often. Depending upon personal preference, add more water for a thinner consistency or allow soup to become thick as the water reduces while simmering.
Ok, if you've never had Split Pea Soup, try it. Seriously! I HATE peas. And yet I love Split Pea Soup for some reason. We don't often eat pork in any form, but we do love ham and have found this to be our favorite way to use leftovers. Judah, our almost-8-month-old baby, even loved tastes of this no-fail, easy and healthy recipe! And he, by the way, also hates peas…they're some of the few things he absolutely won't eat!

I love Pinterest, just as much now as when it first came out. The new never wore off for me. Here are some of the things I have found recently that I can't wait to try, love and can't wait to recreate.
(Click on the picture to get to the pin)
I love spring clothes. Such pretty colors to mix and match.
These just look delicious. Semi complicated to make, but I'm up for the challenge 🙂
This is just funny. I watched "Fed Up" at work last week. It's a documentary about what we eat and how bad it is for our bodies. But some days, this is just the reality of life. I would like to eat well all the time, but that just ain't happening. Also, some foods are just too good to give up.
These Kate Spade plates. Just beautiful. Maybe one day they will go on sale or I can find similar ones on the cheap.
I found a wreath I had started when cleaning out the storage room. One of the thoughts for the wreath was to add burlap flowers, so this will be super helpful in finishing the wreath.
Follow me on Pinterest! What are you loving on Pinterest these days?

Foxnews.com -- (2/23/2018) The Secret Service apprehended a driver Friday afternoon after she plowed her vehicle into a security barricade at a White House entrance.
Law enforcement sources told Fox News that the driver intentionally hit the barricade. But they did not describe it as an attack against the White House, saying the woman suffers from mental problems and the crash was not about President Trump.
The incident nevertheless caused the White House to increase security. It remained on lockdown for about an hour.
The driver was identified as Jessica Ford, a law enforcement source confirmed to Fox News. The woman is 35 years old and from La Vergene, Tennessee, according to a statement from the Secret Service.
"The Secret Service has had previous encounters with the female in the vicinity of the White House resulting in numerous arrests for a variety of criminal violations," the statement said.
She was charged Friday "with numerous criminal violations" and turned over to the District of Columbia police department.
The incident happened as President Trump was hosting Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull inside.
Witnesses saw a commotion on the White House grounds as security officers responded.
The Secret Service later tweeted that the vehicle, a white minivan, "did not breach" the security barrier, and the female driver was "immediately apprehended."
"No law enforcement personnel were injured during the incident involving a vehicle hitting a barrier near the White House," the Secret Service tweeted.
The Secret Service also said no shots were fired during the incident.
In a tweet Friday evening, President Trump commended "the great men and women of the" U.S. Secret Service "for a job well done!"

Crown Central Petroleum Corp. ended 1993 with a profitable fourth quarter, its first profitable quarter, excluding accounting adjustments, since the last quarter of 1991.
For the full year, Crown posted a loss of $4.3 million, or 44 cents a share.
The Baltimore-based company attributed much of the improvement during the most recent quarter to its adoption of a marketing strategy that included locking in the future price at which it would sell its gasoline as a hedge against declining margins.
"Although overall refinery margins weakened in the fourth quarter of 1993 vs. 1992, successful management of inventory price volatility improved company results," said Chairman Henry A. Rosenberg Jr.

Is Lying Always Wrong?
Is lying always wrong?
A brief essay I wrote on Rahab's "bending the truth" in Joshua 2:
Rahab's deception of the messengers sent by the king of Jericho in Joshua 2 is another issue that is frequently raised from this text. Assuming that the command to 'not bear false witness' addresses more than legal situations, how does one reconcile this command not to lie in Exodus 20 with Rahab's actions here? A surface reading of the text seems to state that God used the deception of Rahab to further his plans in the conquest of the land. The following paragraphs will address different interpretations of Rahab's actions, as well as a brief conclusion of what I believe is the best approach.
When Christian ethicists approach this passage, they generally interpret Rahab's actions in one of three ways. Howard calls the first approach the 'lesser of two evils approach.'
Under this interpretation, Rahab, faced with lying or the death of the spies, had to pick which was less wrong. After the situation has passed, Rahab must repent from her sin of lying. This approach is problematic in a number of ways, most primarily the doubt that God would hold one accountable for sin in which there was no other choice.
It seems that this is an unlikely interpretation of this passage and other passages in Scripture that are like it.
The second interpretation offered by ethicists is referred to as "graded absolutism" by Howard.
In this interpretation, one should seek the greater good, which in Rahab's case was the preservation of the lives of the spies. Howard points out that this view has biblical support with other examples, both from narrative and didactic passages.
Yet this is a dangerous, slippery slope to 'the ends justify the means.' Clearly this approach has its problems as well.
Finally, Howard lists the approach that he prefers, that of 'nonconflicting absolutes.'
This view suggests that the other two interpretations produce a false dichotomy–believers do not need to choose between two sinful acts but rather should trust God to provide an alternative way. As Howard writes, "To act otherwise shows a lack of faith in God's ability to protect or provide, even in a desperate situation."
Because God is truth, deception in any form is wrong.
Yet this approach seems to be overly naïve, and seems to make the other two approaches seem less Christian because they seem to leave God's sovereignty out of the equation.
It is easy for someone to argue that Rahab made the wrong choice and should have trusted God in this situation, but those who argue for such a position are frequently in seminary classrooms where there is no immediate danger. Woudstra believes that this debate argues the wrong question. "In Israel truth […] means 'loyalty toward the neighbor and the Lord.' Thus viewed, Rahab's words need not be called a lie."
Unfortunately Woudstra's approach seems slightly deceptive itself, and is not helpful in reaching a conclusion. In the same way, Halstad argues "not all forms of deception are necessarily immoral," but this also seems to be skirting the issue.
I believe that a graded absolutist approach is the best approach, but it must be nuanced correctly. In order to prevent this from becoming an 'ends justify the means' approach, one must recognize that this graded absolutism must be case-based, i.e., every situation is different. The argument that God is truth is somewhat misleading. Verhey writes, "God is Truth, but when Scripture uses this image it does not refer simply to some correspondence between word and thought. […] The test for our speech and our lives, then, is not simply whether what we say or do corresponds with what we think, but faithfulness to covenant."
In protecting the spies, Rahab was remaining faithful to her newfound covenant with the LORD. Finally, the aspect that is perhaps the largest proponent of this belief is that nowhere in this passage (or a similar passage concerning the Hebrew midwives in Exodus 1) is there condemnation of Rahab's actions.
It seems that there is good reason to believe Rahab did not commit a sin when she deceived the messengers from the king of Jericho. She remained faithful to the covenant which she had made with the Israelites and with their God. Yet even if she did sin from this deception, she has been justified through the blood of Christ Jesus.

Saturday Synth Porn: Khoral's MicroMoorg is a very nicely done Minimoog-style Korg MicroKorg conversion.
Saturday Synth Porn: Khoral's MicroMoorg is a very nicely done Minimoog-style Korg MicroKorg conversion.
So cool that Khoral is so well known in the Synth community that he can be referred to like that.
If I had a MicroKorg that looked like that I'm sure I'd play it with more respect… weird but I'm serious.
This synth looks awesome, i own a microkorg and i would like to turn it into this. Great!
how did he do that?
Awesome!!!! I own a microkorg and I would like to transform it to have this one in the picture. Grat job 😉
Why would you go to all the trouble to spiff up a POS Microkorg? It still sounds like ****
Just sayin
I don't get all the hate towards them, they're very good little synths, and the filter emulations are pretty decent for a digital synth
Because of their size mainly. Also, The control, now that I think about it, is very complex to me (and to some others) — You can't choose waves easily, for one (You might need an oscilloscope or something to see what wave you're trying to change). The only reasons people buy this are: 1. the vocoder, 2. the price, and 3. those people who have no need of sound experimentation and just want to choose their presets. There's this backwards mentality in synthesiser making that "Less is more", and unfortunately, it's being proven right — the MS2000 and the Alesis ION, great synths, were discontinued to make way for crappy preset synths.
You can do soooo much with a microkorg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB0wHB3khOg
My Microkorg just arrived today. It's an awesome & fun little synth!!! I have top of the line modern & vintage synths like Korg Kronos X 88, Triton Pro X w/EXB-MOSS, TR-Rack, Z1, DW8000, Poly 800, Elesis Fusion HD6 & QSR, Kurzweil PC3K6, Yamaha Motif 6 w/PLG150-AN & EX5, Roland XV5080 & SH-01 Gaia, (also a fun little synth) Casio CZ-1, & more. They're all great synths, but I really love the Microkorg.
Im looking for new keys for my microkorg for an really oldskool feel.
say, make the white ones, black, and vice versa, just like you see on some old organs and fortepiano's etc etc.
does anyone know where i can find em? i know how to fit them tho so thats okay. just new keys.
please email at [email protected] if you have any ideas! many thanks! ^^

Clausewitz ( 1976) observed similar phenomena in the conduct of war, and described these phenomena with the memorable phrase, "the fog of war." A similar term could also describe many international negotiations. What is especially needed in teaching and researching negotiation processes is to appreciate the nonrational aspects of real negotiations, and simulation is a good methodology for addressing this issue.
Simulations that faithfully model real negotiations have the capacity to bring nonrational factors into the laboratory where they can be closely observed. There is apparently some intellectual resistance to doing this, however. For example, Bracken ( 1984: 798) has noted that when large-scale political military games are played within the U.S. government, the inevitable problems that arise with coordination and communication are usually seen as defects of the game. As a result, there is a tendency to use smaller, more controlled games where organizational dynamics are unlikely to intrude or where information exchanges are unlikely to get fouled up. Bracken argues the smaller games lack the capacity to explore the institutional or organizational behaviors associated with conflict management, which are "the most poorly understood part of deterrence" (p. 799).
In the same manner, the negotiation simulations described here address some of the less understood aspects of negotiation theory. These include especially the impact (intended or otherwise) of organizational structure on communication; the process of establishing negotiating priorities within and between parties; the effect of intraparty communication (and transmission of instructions) on relations between negotiators and their governments; the effect of bureaucratic politics; and the evaluation of final offers. Because simulation is an inexact methodology, it is unlikely it will lead to rigorous testing of propositions about negotiation behavior. However, it is the most successful means for training individuals in some of the important but less analyzed aspects of negotiation behavior.
Description : The TNS is a four-country trade negotiation over 30 products. The purpose is to achieve a reciprocal agreement reducing tariffs and other restrictions on these products. Each country is represented by a home government and a negotiating team (NT).
Use : The TNS can be conducted in two to four days. Personnel can range from 13 to 25. Documentation includes a 60 page scenario (including trade tables) and additional material specifying instructions, communication rules, and so on. The exercise has been conducted twice ( 1974-75) for Canadian FSOs at the Department of External Affairs; five times ( 1975-78) for U.S. FSOs at the Foreign
