Get dining news including restaurant closures and qualify for giveaways.
I used to frequent Red Robin alot. When I started coming here 7 or 8 years ago, I would swear by their burgers and they were to die for. I also eat their salmon and chips too.
I must say; it really is a teenagers hang out.....I mean the staff is pretty young (which is fine) service tonight was terrible. I ordered salmon and chips....my friend had cod and chips and broccoli. it took the waitress 3 times to bring the fries out hot for them.....I don't mind if mine are cold; so that was ok.
The food quality has really gone down. Sometimes its not even enjoyable, and it is a little over priced for what its worth.....
Serivce was so no existent. waited forever for refills on fries and broccoli. my friend (and later on myself) had to get up and get our own cutlery (and myself later for napkins)
TERRIBLE, but of course past success will probably get me in here again at some point (unfortunately)
Mrs. C and I were dashing out for some pre-fireworks food and we needed it in a hurry. We stopped at RR, and dashed in for a quick bite.
The place was nice enough inside, and it looked clean. Plus it was quiet. Maybe too quiet. There were 3 tables occupied including ours. That seemed weird for a Saturday night.
Service was okay, but the servers seemed to be mostly gossiping at the bar and weren't really paying attention to the few customers. Food was nothing to write home about. I had a guacamole bacon beef burger which was slightly undercooked but tasted fine. Mrs. C. had a basic burger. Her burger came with exactly 10 fries. Now that is what I call portion control ! ;( We didn't have time to order more or to check if her meal came with bottomless fries. I had a beer that was served in a wet glass, so it was flat by the time the server plunked it down on the table.
Would we come back? This place is only slightly better than McD's, so I doubt it.
My recommendation is that you eat at either the West Broadway or Robson street locations. This is amongst the worst Red Robin Restaurants out there. Ranks pretty much beside the Metrotown location, because I honestly can't see how it can get any worse. I went there with a friend of mine. It was 15 minutes before anyone came by, and, another 15 minutes before we got our drinks. So then our food came, we still didn't have utensils or napkins. There were Servers everywhere, but, the ones who didn't avoid eye contact with us, they simply said ok, and didn't bring us any napkins. It was just terrble. The Taco Salad my friend ordered, the Taco was stale! It was just horrible. If you want to really have a good experience at a Red Robin Restuarant, then, I recommend going to the West Broadway Location, the Management and Service here just cannot be any worse.
We went for dessert at the Capilano location on Friday night - we were craving their Monster Mud Pie. The dessert was good as ususal, but the service and cleanliness of the restaurant were something to be desired.
French fries were on the floor when we came into the restaurant and when we left the restaurant an hour later, they were still on the floor. The 4 tables that they brought us to were ALL dirty - they had to clean a table for us.
The whipped cream and nuts that normally goes on our dessert were being used as a spray gun by the staff. They were spraying each other with whipped cream! One girl had it all over her top, while another guy had it sprayed on his head and shirt. All in perfect view of customers (being me and my two employees). Then to our horror, they put the same whipped cream that they were spraying each other with onto OUR dessert !!! Yuck, yuck, yuck. I'm never going back to that location again. I might slip and fall on the food on the floor or get sick from the unsanitary whipped cream canister.
I've asked for a refund of our $20 desserts, so we'll have to see if that happens.
We do not give up easy so we tried it again, only to be dissapointed again. There was lots of staff on location but the service was slow and did not make sense. The pop was flat. The food came out at different times. The table set up with hap hazard. The restaurant was dirty. And the prices are high. For the past 15 years or so, something has always been wrong with this location. It seems as if that the attitude there is that they just dont give a dam. They rely on sports teams and families on the weekends and could care less about overall service. We will try again in another few years and post an update.
And it was just a burger. It cost the best part of $10 and it had no flavor. I had the plain burger(under cooked) and fries to go(under cooked). In order to get flavor I guess I should have paid the extra(at least a buck) for pepper jack cheese or bacon or bourbon sauce.
But I would have thought that for that price it should have some flavor. It was large but that's about it.
The burger came with mustard, ketchup and mayo but the mayo was on the side. Not much good being on the side. Unless they thought that I am Dutch and the mayo was for my fries.
Will I go back for a burger?Not at that price and do it your own flavor. Will I try this place again? Maybe. The place was Disneylandish and might be the place to take kids on a rainy Sunday.
I actually like Red Robin's. Well, maybe the truth is my friends like Red Robin's and I don't mind it. The food is ok, the service, if a bit slow, does eventually get around to you, and the bottomless fries, though a bit pale, are nevertheless hot and crunchy.
My big problem though is that three times in the last few years I've been served a seriously undercooked burger, pink and bloody in the center, and it's finally caught up to me, striking me down with cramps, fever and things better left unsaid.
They're always very apologetic, preparing a fresh properly cooked burger and taking it off the bill, but it's worth a heads up that you might want to cut open your burger before going to town on it. The fact that they wrap it makes it a little difficult, but believe me it's better than the things "better left unsaid." Urp.
I'm an avid Red Robin fan and have been to Surrey, Robson and North Van. Always had great service at all but North Van is my local now and does the job like no other burger joint can! Five-alarm burger will rock your world if you are bold enough to try! Best burgers in the world bar none! Always friendly, clean and good expedient service. I would wear a Red Robin T-shirt for free I'm that much of a fan!

I'm looking at the T4 specs published recently and wondering if the new chip is a huge leap forward or not. I'm seeing 72 cores for graphics which SOUNDS awesome, but as I'm not a gamer I wonder if this is all there is?
I use my Android devices for more pedestrian uses – more media consumption for videos, etc. How much will T4 help with playing my MKVs? Will 1080p stuttering be a thing of the past?
I only upgraded from my Asus TF 101 to a Tegra 3 device because Tegra 2 was choking way too much on HD files. T3 is far better, but still a little wonky on higher end files. I think a good case for upgrading in 2013 can be made if T4 would decidedly render anything we throw at it – from what has been released, does it sound like it will?

Focusrite's Saffire range of Firewire audio interfaces highlights the fundamental features that distinguish the sound quality of Focusrite interfaces from other available products in their class: precision analogue/digital conversion quality, a result of careful circuit design, multi-layer board layout and component choices; and Focusrite's award-winning mic preamps, developed from 30 years of experience in mic pre design and created especially for our interfaces to deliver clean, transparent sound with minimal noise and distortion. Click here to learn more about the keys to Focusrite interface superiority. Saffire interfaces offer the most effective way to get high-quality audio into and out of your DAW. They're compatible with any DAW on Macintosh or Windows, and with the included Red 2 and Red 3 AAX plugins, they make a perfect partner for Pro Tools.
Focusrite's flagship audio interface – 28-in, 28-out with eight mic pres and Liquid technology
Liquid Saffire 56 is Focusrite's flagship multichannel FireWire audio interface. Built into a sturdy 2U enclosure, all the controls are placed for easy access on a busy session – and Liquid Saffire 56 can handle the busiest session! Liquid Saffire 56 is ready-made to form the heart of your studio, with the versatility and I/O capability you need.
Eight preamps are included. Six feature Focusrite's dual-stage design, specially-created for the Focusrite interface range and founded on design experience harking back to 1985, when console legend Rupert Neve was asked by Sir George Martin to design new modules for the AIR Studios console – setting the foundation for thirty years of Focusrite development. The remaining pair of mic preamps features Focusrite's powerful Liquid emulation technology. This combines with Saffire PRO Firewire interfacing to deliver a host of authentic preamp flavours, seamless software integration, excellent routing flexibility and future-proof, rock-solid driver stability.
Dual Liquid Preamps
In addition to six of Focusrite's legendary mic pres, two of Liquid Saffire 56's eight preamps feature third-generation Focusrite's Liquid Pre amp technology, providing the choice of ten different authentic-sounding preamp emulations. These include emulations based on the Neve 1073, the Pultec MB-1, Telefunken V72 and seven other classic designs. A harmonics dial on each Liquid preamp lets you emulate variance in vintage originals of the same model, or use levels of 2nd, 3rd and 5th harmonics creatively to shape your sound.
Precision 24-bit/192kHz conversion
Liquid Saffire 56 doesn't simply offer preamp variety or an impressive number of channels; sonic integrity is also guaranteed throughout. Both the Liquid and Saffire preamps ensure low noise and distortion with plenty of headroom. At the same time, quality digital conversion – based on careful component choices, effective circuit design and layout of the multi-layer circuit boards combined with JetPLL™ jitter elimination technology – ensure pristine audio quality into and out of your computer system.
A Host of I/O
Alongside the two Liquid and six Saffire preamps are a host of I/O options.

Part 3 Love' Perfect Law of Liberty Acts chapter fifteen is the story of the Jerusalem Council. The early church first convening on the crucial question of how a man is saved and we have been studying it now for two weeks this being our third week, and we have learned how the Apostles defended the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith plus nothing. And then having defended that they entered into the area of fellowship. It's one thing to be saved by grace but are there any rules, if not in salvation, are there any rules to the conduct of a Christian in relation to other Christians? And that really is the subject which we want to discuss today.
But let me give you just a little background. Man as you well know from the time of Adam's fall is separated from God. Every baby born into this world since the time of Adam's fall has been born in isolation from the life of God, in sin, apart from the knowledge of God communion with God and the life of God. But God at the same time desired to draw men back to Himself, and so while man was separated in isolation and darkness and lost, God set a plan in motion to recover man. God's plan was clear. It's revealed in the pages of the Old Testament prophetically, it's revealed in the pages of the New Testament actually and theologically, and the question that ultimately really must be resolved is, if man is lost and man is isolated and man is in darkness, and God has a plan to save man, to turn off the darkness and turn on the light, to forgive his sin, to redeem him, to bring him back to Himself, the question is, how then does man appropriate that salvation? Granted that man's got a problem and God's got a plan, how do the two get together? That is the basic question which religion seeks to answer. And the answer in Christianity is, "For by grace are you saved through faith; that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God, Not of works, lest any man should boast." The answer is this, God's plan is appropriated by grace through faith, and that...in other words, God freely offers it as a gift, all you have to do is believe that He's offering it and take it. There is no works system, there is not doing this, doing that, doing the other, performing, being good, going through ritual, going to church, nothing at all like that simply a matter of accepting by faith the grace gift that God offers. Now because that is the crucial issue of Christianity, because if you miss that you've missed everything, because if ya never get to God then nothing else matters.
And because that is a crucial issue that was the issue first dealt with in the early church as it came to a, to a pinnacle in the Council of Jerusalem. They wanted to settle the question of how is a man saved? How is a man brought to God? Well, the Jews had always felt, many of them that is, that in order for a man to come to God he had to become a Jew. And part of the problem with Old Testament evangelism by Israel was the fact that they, rather than going out and evangelizing Gentiles, they only saw it as...Judaism as a kind of an isolated thing, and for any Gentile to come to God he had to become a Jew. And their horizons never got beyond their own nose really. In the New Testament much was the same, Christianity was introduced and faith in Jesus Christ and salvation,..salvation through Jesus Christ, but certain Jews who came to be known as the Judaizers wanted to make Gentiles Jews before they could be Christians. It was like going to a Gentile, you'd say, now I wanta announce to you that God has a wonderful plan and He wants to bring you into fellowship with Himself and He wants to forgive your sins and it's all by faith in Jesus Christ, after you have become a Jew and been circumcised and abiding by all of the ceremonies of Moses.
Now they wanted to lay this on Gentiles. Paul and Barnabas had prior to chapter 15 been all over the area of Galatia and Cyprus, they had seen many Gentiles come to faith in Christ, little churches had begun in those very areas, and things were really happening, Gentiles were getting saved all over the place, and these certain Jews of the circumcision party were threatened. They could see Gentiles dominating the church they could see Gentiles over running the situation. And they had this nationalistic identity and this, this ego problem about everybody having to become a Jew to get to God, and so they trailed Paul and Barnabas and started announcing to these Gentiles that you're not really a Christian, because you haven't become a Jew, and you've gotta go through the ceremonial thing of being circumcised and you gotta keep all the laws of Moses. Well there's a conflict. You got a couple of people Paul and Barnabas, telling everybody you get saved by grace plus nothing, and then you've got a trail of Judaizers running around telling everybody you get saved by faith plus works. And that's the issue that better be settled because if we don't have the right doctrine of salvation then nobody gets saved and if nobody gets saved then God's whole plan goes awry. And so the first council met to settle the issue. Now we saw that the chapter began with the dissension, they were all convening in the city of Jerusalem because that was kind of mother territory where everything had begun, and the Apostles were there and the elders of the church at Jerusalem, and they were all considering the problem, and so Paul and Barnabas spoke concerning their view and then the circumcision party got up in verse 5 and talked about the fact that everybody had to be circumcised and we've gotta go back to those Gentiles and perform a medical operation and then we've gotta get 'em into the law of Moses and you'll never become a Christian until you become a Jew. And that was the dissension. The question was, do we get saved by becoming Jews, by going through certain rituals and certain works? Following the dissension we saw the discussion, in verses 6 to 18, and you'll remember that in the discussion there were three major speeches, one by James, one by Paul and Barnabas and the first one was by Peter.
And Peter defended salvation by grace alone, apart from Judaism and the way he defended it was in the case of Cornelius. He went back what must have been at least ten years ago and said don't you remember in verse 7 that God a long time ago cleared this issue up. Cornelius was saved purely by grace through faith, God gave him the Holy Spirit, God purified him by faith it says in verse 9. And then he says in verse 10 and 11, why do we want to put law on these Gentiles when law has been a terrible burden that we can't even tolerate. Why do we want to put a thing on them that didn't even work for us, verse 11, we consider that we have been saved by grace, so they have. Are we goin' have two standards, one for us and one for them? We had law a long time, it couldn't save us, we realized salvation came by grace are we going to ask law from Gentiles? And so Peter comes across really then with four great proofs for salvation by grace, past revelation' Cornelius was saved by grace alone, the gift of the Spirit, when God gives His Spirit that validates salvation, the purification of sin which happened purely by faith, and the inability of law. And the crowd is stunned and they're silent. Verse 12 says they kept silence. Salvation in Cornelius case was purely by grace through faith, no works, God never told him to be a Jew, God never told him to get circumcised, nothing like that ever happened to him or his household. That was followed up by words from Barnabas and Paul in verse 12, and they gave another reason why salvation is by grace, and that is because God approved of the message of grace. If you've got two guys coming into town, here comes Paul and Barnabas and they say, you're saved by grace through faith, in comes a little group of Judaizers, you are saved by grace through faith plus you have to become a Jew first. Now you say to yourself, who am I goin' believe? And then all of a sudden you see that Paul and Barnabas are doing miracles, and performing signs and wonders, and you say, God is doing that, look at verse 12, "They listened to Paul and Barnabas, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them." What am I saying? I'm saying, when you've got two messages and God is validating one of them by miracles that's the one to believe, right? And their message was grace and grace alone and God validated that by miracles, and the Judaizers were talking about works and you never saw one miracle attending the ministry of the Judaizers. God wasn't confirming their work. And so one of the great proofs of salvation by grace is the fact that that's the message Barnabas and Paul preached and God confirmed it with miracles. Proving that this was truly His message. Then the last proof was the statement of James in verses 13 to 18. And James simply says salvation is by grace because the Old Testament predicts that Gentiles are goin' get saved as Gentiles.
The Old Testament says nothing about Gentiles in the kingdom having to become Jews. It simply says in the Old Testament, the residue of men are goin' seek the Lord, and all the nations, who call on His name are going to be saved. God's going to save Gentiles as Gentiles in the kingdom, why can't ya let Him save Gentiles as Gentiles now? I mean the kingdom is the most Jewish time on the earth, in all of the history of man.
It's the most Jewish time there'll ever be, when Israel will reign and rule and dominate, and if at that time God doesn't demand that Gentiles become Jews to get saved, why should we demand it of 'em now? And so the argument is very powerful, and the discussion closes. Then James states the decision thirdly, and this is where we left off last time.
Verse 19, "Wherefore," which means on the basis of what I've just told you, and what Peter has told you, and what Paul and Barnabas have told you, that God has established the way of grace, on the basis of that, "my judgment is," and we considered this, this is just a review, "my judgment is, that we trouble not them, who from among the Gentiles are turned to God." Let's not hassle them by putting law on 'em. They are saved by grace, my judgment is, the word trouble means to stand on the side of the road and throw rocks at somebody's feet to hinder their walking, my judgment is, that we not throw a lot of legalistic bricks in front of these Gentiles who are walking the right path anyway. All that's goin' do is make 'em stumble. My judgment is, that we do not hassle them, by putting upon them legalism. Now that's the conclusion, and believe me, that's what the Apostles agreed on. In Romans 1:16 the Apostle Paul says, "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto (what?) salvation to the Jew first, also to the Gentile." What is the power of God to salvation? The gospel of Christ.
The Gentile doesn't need to become a Jew, he only needs to respond to Christ. "If we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and believe in our heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, (Paul says) we shall be saved." It's simply a matter of grace, faith, not a matter of becoming a Jew or keeping rules. Well that took care of the doctrine issue, believe me. That was tied up in one great big glorious theological knot that could never be undone. Salvation is by grace and grace alone, and no man can add to his salvation by works. And we talked about that last time in detail. But listen to this, as we saw at the very close last time, doctrinal issues don't always resolve heart attitudes. Now he...Paul and Barnabas and all of them could have said, now you Jews, you'll have to realize that the Gentiles don't have to abide by the Mosaic ceremonies, they don't have to do all the little ritual things that you have been raised to do. And then all of the Gentiles could have run outa there and just lived it up. And you know what would have happened? The Jews would have been unbelievably offended, Why in a community a Gentile could have realized he was free to eat pork, or he was free to eat a particular animal that still had the blood in it, and he would have invited a Jew over and even though that Jew was free to eat that, because he's no longer under the Mosaic law, in his conscience he's not free to eat it because he's had too many years under the restrictions, you see? And he wouldn't be able to have the freedom, he would be bound by the laws that he'd been raised with, and it would be offensive to him. And in fact it would almost be in his mind ungodly to do that, because he is so tied to a system of laws that came from God, and so he would look at that Gentile and he would think that Gentile was a weak Christian, that that Gentile was a violating Christian. And so the doctrine was grace yes, but for the sake of fellowship, the Gentiles needed to be careful and they needed to watch some things. They didn't need to become Jews, but he gives 'em four things to watch in verse 20, "But we want to write unto them anyway, that they abstain from pollutions of idols." The great dominant thing in the mind of a Jew, the offensive thing was idolatry. This is the ringing theme over and over in the Old Testament, no other gods, no other gods, and God continually lambasted Israel about worshiping false gods, and so to the Jew the whole system of idolatry was just a sickening thing. And as I told ya last time, he's ver...last time, very often a Jew would go to eat at a Gentiles home and the Gentile would serve him some wonderful meal, and the Jew would say, where did ya buy it? And he'd tell 'em he bought it at the back of the temple at the meat market where the priests sell the stuff that's offered to idols.
People would come in and give something to the idol and they'd have some more left over than they could eat, and so they'd sell it. And to a Jew this was terribly offensive, why? Because he did have...he was not yet free to understand that idolatry was inconsequential. In the sense that there was no idol there at all. He had been so raised to hate and despise idols, and so raised to think of them as false gods, and so much a part of, of the opposite, that anything that even smacked of idols was terribly offensive. And so he couldn't freely eat this.
So the question comes up, even though we're free and we're under grace and we don't need to keep the Mosaic ceremony' we still better watch a few things or we'll loose our testimony to our Jewish brothers, and beyond that you'll lose your testimony to unbelieving Jews. So he says, stay away from pollutions of idols, that's foods offered to idols, and we dealt with that remember in First Corinthians 8, Paul says, there's nothing wrong with eatin' that stuff at all there's not one thing wrong with it but, he says, if eating it makes my brother to offend, I won't eat it as long as the world exists. That's the principle of caring for the weaker brother. Then, and this is the statement that I think wraps it up, in, in verse uhm, 21 he says, "For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogue every Sabbath day." In other words, remember that Moses is still being studied, and Moses is still being read and many of these Jews are still under the instruction of Moses, and they're not yet able to make that out in their minds and be free. Then he says, stay away from fornication, verse 20. Sexual sin, and of course Gentile idolatry was all wrapped up with sex and prophetesses were, were prostitutes and priestesses were prostitutes and temple worship in the big temples like Diana and elsewhere were simply orgies. And so the...James says, we must tell them to avoid any kind of Gentile worship, any kind of sexual activity or implication that has to do with idolatry. Now let me hasten to say this, this is also a moral issue, and last week we considered First Corinthians 6 where it's dealt with on a moral basis. It's wrong to join yourself sexually to somebody outside of marriage because you're joining Christ to a harlot, remember that? Boy, that's a powerful statement.
It's wrong morally, but it's also wrong in the sense of fellowship.
Because in the Old Testament the Jews had such a strict law regarding their moral conduct and in fact marriage as well, and Gentiles were marryin, and unmarryin' and livin' it up, and Jews couldn't handle that.
And so he says to them, in your, in your conduct with the opposite sex in your conduct sexually in general, in your marriage situation be sure that you are not offensive, that you are not following Gentile patterns.
It's a moral issue, yes; it's also a fellowship issue, because Jews can't tolerate it. Then he says, the third and the fourth thing he says, "Abstain from things strangled, and from blood." Those were dietary laws.
There's nothin' wrong with uh, eating meat with blood in the new economy, in the old economy those rules were given to set Israel apart as a distinct nation so they couldn't get together. So that they couldn't eat the same things, they couldn't have the same uh, schedule in terms of calendar days, they were all different, Sabbaths and so forth and so on.
They couldn't get together, the clothes were different, God did everything He could to keep them separate. Not separate so they would isolate, but separate so they would be a pure witness. But in the New Testament He's putting Jew and Gentile together, so God rubs out all those things.
Remember the sheet that came down in Acts 10? And God said, uh...the messenger said to Peter, "Rise, Peter: kill, and eat." And Peter said, I've never touched some of that stuff Lord, I can't eat that that's unclean stuff, and the Old Testament forbids it, and the messenger says, "Call thou not unclean that which God hath cleansed." That's over, Peter. Jew and Gentile are one in the church. That's the way God designed it, there's no more clean or unclean. Rise Peter, kill and eat any of it all of it. So that ritual is over but some Jews weren't free and the Jews had been restricted from eating things strangled, because the blood hadn't been drained, and from drinking blood which was a Gentile religious custom. And so he says to them, don't do those things.
Now watch, why does James tell 'em to avoid that? Because it's for their salvation? Does not drinking blood save you? No. Does abstaining from all those things save you? No, we are saved by grace through faith, that's settled, but here is not the issue of salvation but of fellowship. If the body is to be one and Jew and Gentile are to get together then Gentiles are going to have to restrict their freedom for the sake of the conscience of a legalistic Jew. And rather than some liberated person stand over in a corner and condemn somebody who's under bondage to law still and hasn't matured to understand his freedom you oughta love him instead. We were talking the other day about the fact that you...everybody's always talking about fundamentalists being intolerant, the most intolerant people imaginable are liberals. They just sit off in a corner and damn everybody who's got some standards. They're only intolerant of intolerance, as they view it. Now we're not under the law in terms of salvation, John 1'17 says, "The law came by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." We're not under the ceremonial law, we don't have to be circumcised uh, God doesn't uh, say to me, John MacArthur you can't eat anything that has blood in it, and you can't do this and this and the other and you can't eat any meat that's offered to idols, etc. God doesn't say those things to me, that's not this economy, God's not setting me apart as a special nation, God is blending all nations into His church. You say, well does that mean I'm not under the law? Romans 6 says you're dead to the law. "The law has no more (what?) dominion over you." You say, well does that mean that now that I'm in grace I can just do whatever I wanta do? Isn't there anything that governs me? And some people you'd think that's really what was true. Some people think, well, I'm saved I'll just go do what I want. Once in a point of time I got saved, it's grace, grace, grace' whee, you know, here we go. That isn't how it works. You know there have always been laws? I don't know if ya ever thought of it this way, but even in innocence, there was one law. Before the fall, Adam and Eve in the garden, beautiful, everything was pristine and pure and everything was great and God still had a law, and the law was, there's a tree over there don't touch it. Every man who ever lived on the earth was under some kind of law from God, some kind of rule. And then after that God wrote the law that He wanted in the conscience of man and God's law was in man's conscience. And then God used government to be His law giver, and government was given the control of man and government was even given the right to take a life to punish. And then in the Old Testament came the Mosaic law and men were subjected to it, and then, then in the kingdom, have ya ever thought about this, that in the kingdom, the perfect age' Isaiah 2:3 says, the law shall go forth out of ?ion. In every period of man's history, every man believing or unbelieving has been subjected to some principles. You say, well then John, you're saying that in the church age today, there's got to be a law? That's what I'm saying. I am not under the Mosaic Law, I'm not under the Adamic law, to stay away from a certain tree. But I am under a law. You say, what is that law? That's what I wanta tell ya about, and we're not goin' get any further than this, so just relax. I got into this thing and it was so exciting for me to just get some handles on this that I wanta share it with you. What is this law? Well, it's called by several titles, it's called the law of Christ. It's called the royal law, oh, I like that, which means in James 2:8, it means it came from the King, the royal law, see? It's called uhm, the perfect law of liberty, now that's a...that's really a different kind of law. That's a paradox, the perfect law of liberty. Jesus called it this, "A new commandment I give unto you." Now the Mosaic law had a name, the Mosaic law was called, the yoke of bondage. And it was a tough one, back in verse 10 we saw that uh, Peter says, boy I don't know why we wanta put on them a burden we couldn't bear. But the New Testament law is different, it's called the perfect law of liberty, now stay with me and I think this can be an exciting concept. How can you have a law of liberty? What kind of a law is the law of liberty? It sounds like a, a paradoxical statement.
Now let me show ya. I'm goin, show ya several passages, John 13, being first verse 34, you don't have to turn, just listen, Jesus said to His disciples, after He'd just washed their feet, and shown them His love, "A new commandment I give unto you, (how about that? Here comes the new law) that you love one another: as I have loved you, that you also love one another." Jesus said I give you a new law; it's the law of what? Of love. Boy, that's different. You know in the Old Testament how the law worked? Do this, or you will die. You know, and, and the average guys, I'm doing it, I'm doing it, you know, you know, and it was a law built on fear. And they would make a sacrifice and then they would sin again, and they would be under the gun again, and they would have to make another sacrifice and they carried it out in fear of the consequence of not doing it. The Bible says in the New Testament, perfect love, does what? casts out fear. We have a new kind of law, I don't serve God because I'm afraid of Him, I serve Him because I love Him. It's a law of love, that's only one dimension. Now go to Galatians 6, this is terrific thought here, Galatians 6 verse 2, and here ya have the phrase the law of Christ. What is the law of Christ? Listen, "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." Isn't that terrific? You know what the law of Christ is? It's get under a load when some guy can't carry it, and help him. That's the law of Christ' Go back to verse 13 of chapter 5 in Galatians, "Brethren, you have been called unto liberty," isn't that great? No more law, no more fear, no more threats. We're free! "Only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh," what does that mean? Don't misuse your freedom to turn it into license. Don't take grace as an opportunity to sin, "But, (I love this, but) by (what?) Love serve one another." Are you ready for this? Serving one another, bearing one another's burdens, fulfilling the law of Christ, synonyms, all mean the same thing. The Christian is under one law beloved, one law, the law of love. It's a fantastic thing. Let me take ya to Romans 13, because here it's explained even further.
In Romans chapter 13 verse 8, "Owe no man any thing, but to love," You know the only debt you oughta owe anybody? To love 'em. That's all.
Watch, "for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law." Oh, the old law said, "You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness, you shall not covet."
Etc, etc, etc, but it's all comprehended in this saying, love your neighbor like you love yourself. Then he says this, "love is the fulfilling of the law." You know and I've illustrated it this way before, but it fits, in our house there is love, and I thank God for that, and so we don't have a lot of laws, I don't need a sign that says, remember, do not hit your wife, remember, do not punch the children. I don't need laws like that. The reason I don't need a whole list of rules is because the love that I have for those people precludes the necessity of writing out any specifics, do you see? That's the law of love. Now in James 2 verse 8, it's a most beautiful title for it, that I love, two of them here in James, but one in 2:8, "If ye fulfill the royal law (I like that, the royal law) Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, you do well." What's the law again? It's the law of what? Love, every time you find in the Bible the law of Christ, the royal law, the perfect law of liberty, and the new commandment, it always is the same thing, love. The Christian life beloved, boils down to one thing, and it's loving others, and that's it. Not circumcision, not ceremony, love.
And I mean when you love somebody it alters your behavior toward them.
The perfect law of liberty and that of course is the statement in verse 25 of chapter 1, where he calls it the perfect law of liberty, James 1:25. And uh, he calls it, I think it's 1:25, yes 25 he calls it the law of liberty. So the royal law, the law of liberty, the perfect law of liberty, the law of Christ, the new commandment, all the same thing, love. And you know it's such an exciting thing to be free to love, and in again I have to think of my family relation to this, but I take care of my family, I try to meet their needs, if they have something they need, I try to supply that, if they need discipline, I discipline them. If they're sorrowing and they're hurting, and there's pain and, and tears, I comfort them. And, and I don't feel like you must comfort your children, because that's one of the rules. I don't feel like that at all.
When they hurt, I hurt. When they have needs, I try to meet their needs, when they need time, I try to give them time, and it's not because I fear it's because I love, you see. I'm not worried about God smashing me with some divine hammer, I'm only worried about the fact that I feel this tremendous draw to meet their needs. You know he ain't heavy, he's my brother, that's love, and that's, that's the principle of the new life. You say, well I, I wanta love like that and I wanta be able to do that and my life...and really if your life is governed by love, you know like somebody said a long time ago, love God and do what you want, and it just about works out like that. I told ya one time a long time ago that every time I want to I get drunk, and every time I want to I steal, and every time I want to I do a lot of other things, you know what?
I never want to, why? Because my love for God eliminates the desire for those things and captures me to other things. The strongest force in the world is love, believe it. Believe it. Man, you remember back when you first were courtin' your wife, the silly things you did to be with her. And the crazy things that were goin' through your head and you were absolutely dominated by this thing. Love is a powerful thing.
What men have done for the love of a women, and what women have done for the love of a man, what people have done for the love of a cause and a country, something they believed in, love is the greatest thing in terms of motivation. You say, well I'd like to love...I'd like to have my life dominated by love, and you see that's the liberty and...in law, to be free to just love and do what ya want. I mean if I love my child, I'm not goin' hurt him, if I love my God, I'm not goin' violate it, so I don't need any rules, I only need to love Him fully. You say, well John, how do ya, how do ya have that kind of love toward God and toward others? And I'll give ya two principles, and I could approach this from many ways, but here's a couple we haven't talked about. Galatians 5, and this is connected with uh, what we're talking about obviously, the law, Galatians 5:13 says this, "Brethren, you have been called unto liberty: (just read this to ya, get it again) use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in you loving your neighbor." Now watch, verse 16, "This I say then, (do what?) Walk in the Spirit." You wanta know how to love?
You want the first principle of really knowing how to love somebody? Walk in the Spirit. You wanta know you, you can't really love them with your love. The love of Christ shed abroad in you and manifested through the walk of the Spirit will do the loving. I'll give ya a simple illustration, you know how you know that it's Christ loving through you? When you love people you can't stand, and can't help it. Somebody says to ya, boy, that person alwa, you know, I, I, I, I, love 'em, I don't feel that way, ahah, you know? Amazing see? That's when you really know that it's the love of Christ, and it begins with the Spirit walk, when your life in under the control of the Holy Spirit then you'll be a channel for His love. I mean in Ephesians chapter 3 Paul prays a prayer, and he says, I pray that you would be strengthened by His might, up through the Spirit in the inner man. Then he follows it by saying, that you might "know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge." You'll never know the love of Christ, you'll never be dominated by it in your life, you'll never have it pouring through you until you're strengthened with His might by the Spirit in the inner man, the Spirit walk precludes loving, why? Because you can't love in the flesh. It's gotta be the love of Christ poured through the Holy Spirit. So to walk in the Spirit and the walk of the Spirit is a day by day yielding to the Holy Spirit.
There's a second principle, we could talk a lot about that, but second principle, James 1 back to the perfect law of liberty, this is excellent information here for us, beginning in verse 18 listen, now the key here is the Word of God, the scripture, "Of His own will begot He us with the Word of truth." We were begotten by the Word, now watch verse 21, "Wherefore put away all filthiness overflowing of wickedness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your lives." Watch, we were saved by the Word, then we are to receive the Word. To study, to take it in, to absorb the Word. But ya don't wanta get stagnant and verse 22 comes fast on the heels and says' and then "Be ye (what?) doers of the word." Now there is the cycle of the Word' you're born again by the Word, the Word is implanted in you and you become a doer of the Word. Now watch, when you do that, verse 25, you will see the perfect law of liberty operating, you see? Then, "whosoever looks into the perfect law of liberty, (the Word) and continues in it, he being not a forgetful hearer but a doer, this man is blessed."
Listen, you can't see the perfect law of liberty, and you can't see it operate in your life unless ya stay in the Book. There are two principles just connected with these two laws, in Galatians, walk in the Spirit, in James, stay in the Word. You know, I was talking to those couple thousand kids last night down in San Diego, and I was talking about the fact that we talk about love, you know and all the love of the brother, and this kind of a squishy sentimental thing, which...it doesn't have any, any guts to it if you pardon the word. It just doesn't have any really solid rock bed kind of thing, it's strictly an emotional thing, we all sway and hold hands and sing we're one in the Spirit, you know, and then we go out and nothing has changed, we don't know anything, see? We haven't learned anything, and maybe we're not walking in the Spirit anymore, we just feel lovey-dovey aha, see? And that's good until somebody does somethin' to you that doesn't make you feel lovey-dovey. But love is not a feeling love is a principle. Now if you don't ever get anything else in your Christian life but you get that you've got somethin'. Love is not a feeling, it is a principle. And it is a principle that says you shall love your neighbor as ya love yourself, or bear one another's burdens. It's a principle, you may not feel lovey- dovey but you may love, by action, by deed. And so the law that a believer is under is the law of love. You say, well how does this relate to the situation in the book of Acts? Just this, that the converted Gentiles even though they were free, and even though the Jews had tried to push off on them something they didn't need, were not to come away antagonistic. They were not to stand up in their liberty and say, oh, you Jews are all wiped out, you're all hung up on legalism, we're livin' it up here, you old fundamentalists, you old legalists and all of this kind of thing. They were not to do that and they were not to condemn, they were to love them. And if they were to restrict their behavior from certain things to keep them from being offended that was a good thing, that's the principle of love in operation. There's no cause for your liberty running wild, and that's why after they had established grace, they fast moved into the area of fellowship and said, but there are some things necessary for fellowship and though God doesn't restrict them morally, God wants you to restrict them for the sake of your love to one another. And so if I see a brother who's a legalist, if I see somebody who's hung up on ritual or ceremony it's not for me to exalt myself over him and mock him and laugh at him it's mine to love him and to get under his burden with him and help him carry it and do nothing that offends him. That's love in action. Now this principle was hard learned by the early church and Paul dealt with it again in Romans 14, I wanta show ya that, and uh, what he says here is so practical. In Romans 14 Paul is dealing with the very same issue, and the church had a tough time learning it because Gentiles who got saved tended to exalt their freedoms.
And the Jew, boy, it was tough, the early church, the Jews were still tied to legalism, to what they ate, the way they dressed, the rituals, and the Gentiles were just livin' it up, and the Jews were just, they couldn't accept that. You know what they thought? The Jew thought that a Gentile who, who exhibited his freedom was a lousy Christian, that's what they thought because they equated Christianity with conformity still to Judaism, and with certain things and when they saw this Gentile really wingin' it, his testimony to them was destroyed. They thought he was a terrible Christian. Now look at Romans 14, verse 1, "Him that is weak in the faith receive ye." Isn't that good? It's so easy to find a guy who doesn't understand his liberty and he's tied up in some legalistic things and to condemn him. So, he says, open your arms and receive him. Not to argue with him, verse 1, for one guy believes that he may eat all things and somebody else is a vegetarian, big deal. That's not a moral issue. If your thing is vegetables, great.
If you come to my house, we'll have vegetables, and love it. I'm not hung up on that. I don't feel that I need to, to damn you because of Acts 10, if you have not yet been freed up from some past conformity, then I wanta get under your load and help you with it, because that's to show you I love you. And besides he says, God's goin' judge and that's the real issue, and he goes through all of that clear down through verse 12. He says in verse 12 just worry about yourself, "every one of us shall give account of himself to God." Don't be thinkin, you're going to condemn what another does, let him do what his conscience guides him to do, and as he matures he'll get freed up from some of these things.
I'll never forget the time that I talked to a guy who used to be in rock music, and he was saved. And he was into the drugs, the whole bit, the sexual promiscuity, the whole rotten thing. Heavy, heavy, and he was saved. That guy couldn't listen to any rock music without it conjuring up in his mind all of that whole dimension of life that he once knew.
And he hated everything about it, and in fact it was such a strong thing with him that much of the whole popular music scene was totally distasteful to him. Now there may have been occasions when I might turn on my radio and listen to some kind of music, there are some kind that I just won't listen to but there might be something that I might tolerate and might uh, kind of enjoy, you know lilting along in my mind, that would be totally offensive to him. For the sake of the love of him, mine...my place is not to force him to listen to that and condemn him for not being free, my place is to turn it off. And to show him that I love him, and let him mature in the time that the Spirit of God brings him to maturity until he understands that there are some things that you don't need to be quite so hard on. But it's for me to accommodate him, since I'm the stronger, rather than condemn him. And I love what it says beginning in verse 15, "If your brother is grieved with your food, you're walking not in love." See, if ya have a Jewish group to the house and you've gotta have pork chops, you are not walking in love, you're not walking in love. Why would you want to flaunt your independence and your liberty? All you're doing is hurting him, there's no point in that.
"Destroy not him with your food, for whom Christ died." Christ went to all the extent to gather him in, don't mess him up just because of your diet. Good heavens, what a ridiculous thing. Verse 17, "The kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit." Then I love verse 19, "Therefore, follow the things that make for (what? for) peace," and the things that are goin' build him up, "edify." "For food destroy not the work of God." You know what he means here? For neutral inconsequential things that don't matter anyway don't mess up somebody. "It is good (verse 21) neither to eat meat, or drink wine, nor anything by which thy brother stumbles, is offended, is made weak." You know one of the problems of the early church was the problem apparently we still have today. People often ask me, what do you think about drinkin' wine? And uh, this is a common question, sometimes somebody'll say, do you drink? What do you think about drinking wine? Well uhm, is there a command in the Bible against it? This is what they always say. Does it say in the Bible ya can't do it? No, in fact the Bible says uh, Paul said to Timothy "take a little wine for your stomach's sake." See, and they sa...I knew it, I knew it was there, see, it's there, and uh, so you say, it's there if ya study it long enough, it's all there, see, but...and then somebody says, well of course it wasn't fermented, of course it was fermented, they didn't have any refrigerators how could they help it?
They couldn't keep it from being...it had to be fermented. That's why the Bible warns against drunkenness. Because it was so easy to get drunk on a hot day, 'cause that was what they had to drink. It was fermented. And people say to me, well does the Bible doesn't say anything against it, do you do it? And I always say the same thing, no, I don't do it, I don't drink wine. They say why because you, you feel that it's evil? No, I don't feel it's evil. Why don't you do it? Well because uhm, there are some believers who would be very offended if I did. You see, there are some people that I know who used to drink wine and then they became alcoholics and then their lives were destroyed and then Jesus Christ recovered them, and my liberty to drink wine represents to them a whole way of life that's distasteful. And you know somethin? Then there are some others, kind of supercilious legalistic people who think wine is an evil, evil thing! See? You know what? If they think that, bless 'em, I am goin' not do anything to wound their conscience or to grieve their spirit, I'm goin' get under their burden and early it with 'em, and I'm goin, drink no wine as long as the world exists, lest my testimony be cut off in their eyes. And you know this is particularly important for me. I recognized this morning that I stand in a place that not all of you stand in, if I were to come up here and say to you, you know I'd like to announce that I drink wine a lot, see? Some of you would go, good, hey Martha, did ya hear that, yeea! See, you know? And the rest of you would go, yuck!! See, and you grab your ears and you go join another church. I don't need wine. Welch's, Kool-Aid, Funny Face is plenty good for me. Because I'm not going to exalt my liberty to drink wine and con...consequently lose my ministry in your life. And I'm not goin' condemn you if you think it's, it's a moral issue that...if that's your understanding and you've been raised in a situation like that, or you've had an experience with it that it represents something evil to you, then that is set aside in my life, and you wanta know something? I don't do it reluctantly; I do it with joy because you know what happens? I get happy when you get blessed.
And if it means you're goin' be rejoicing and you're goin' grow, and you're goin' know I love you, then I'm happy. And I wouldn't destroy the knowledge that you're growing and that you're sensing my love just to do what I wanta do. People say to me, uh, do you go to movies? They, people ask me that all the time, you know? Or you know when you're drivin' down the road and there's a drive-in screen do you look straight ahead? You know. What about on the freeway over there by Van Nuys Blvd. You know, people ask me questions like that, I suppose they wanta know, you know. And they say, do you think movies are evil? Well, I don't know, I don't say all movies are evil uhm, some movies aren't evil, some movies are just there, you know. Walt Disney makes nice movies and uh, Tom Sawyer...I was lookin' in the paper the other day and there was Tom Sawyer, a nice G rated movie, probably...I would probably just really enjoy Tom Sawyer, and you know I was in San Diego, speakin' of Tom Sawyer, I didn't see him there but I was...uh...I was talking to this guy and he said you know the other night I went to see Tom Sawyer, and he said, do you know what. He said, that movie got finished and he said, a guy tapped me on the shoulder, been sitting right behind me, turned around, two of my pastors, right there in the theater!! See, you know? I mean the guy was...he couldn't believe it.
And I said, big deal, Tom Sawyer. But you know he said, I couldn't believe that my pastor would do that. You know, isn't that a strange thing that for him to allow himself to do that and to be able to allow his pastor to do that is something else? Frankly, I would probably enjoy going to see Tom Sawyer. But I'll never forget one time when I went to see a movie, I went to see some earlier in my life, but I went to one particular time, and somebody saw me in the lobby, and just looked like they were aghast, you know, you know. And you see there's a certain sense in which in my position, though those things in themselves are not wrong, Tom Sawyer, and you know I know some of you'd say well, I go to the R movies for the philosophical content, humm! Sure ya do. Oh, well I'm analyzing them, hah-hah. But although those...there may be things that are not in themselves wrong but are enjoyable and, and relaxing and fun and maybe even beautiful in scenery and maybe lovely in music and, and all of that, I have to be very careful in my life because you see, some people are always watching me, and it's not that I wouldn't wanta go, it's that I wouldn't wanta hurt somebody, and I wouldn't wanta eliminate my testimony in their eyes.
I'll never forget, I was raised in Philadelphia as a little kid, and Sunday was absolutely sacrosanct, I mean Sunday you didn't do any ...you came home in your Little Lord Fauntleroy suit and sa...and you sat, on the chair, all day. While the fan blew, you know in the summer, and the paper stayed on the porch, and turned pale. And I used to say, Dad, could I please turn on a ball game? They always...the Phillies or somebody were playin' and nope, no television, no newspaper. And my Dad told me as early as I wa...early those years, he said we have to learn that for some people that's a desecration of what they consider the Lord's Day so rather than offend them, and loose our opportunity to show them love, we abide by what they've set as their principles and we enjoy doing it for their sake. Believe me, brother and sister, to love a brother honestly, is to be able to limit my life to the things that are goin' cause him to grow. And to believe that the Spirit of God in time will bring about the growth at the rate that He designed it. For me to tread all over the neck of my brother is not to exhibit the perfect law of liberty. Listen to what Paul says in summing up in verse 1 of chapter 15, "We, then, that are strong (that's us, we) ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, (and watch) and not to please ourselves."
You know there are some things I wanta do, I would just love to do 'em, but I don't do 'em. Verse 2, "Let every one of us please his neighbor (now look at this) for his good to edification." Build him up, don't tear him down, don't destroy him. And then this is just the cap stone, just absolutely beautiful, "For even (I love this, you ready?) For even Christ pleased not Himself." Boy, if He could do it. But you know something? In the long run I get the most joy out of not doing what I would want to do, because I know in the back of my mind that thus I'm not offending, somebody's growing, somebody is knowing I love them, and that gives me ultimate joy.
And so James said to the people that day at the Jerusalem Council, you're in grace, and you're free, but there's a law, a royal law, a law of liberty, and it says, don't do those things that are goin' offend your weaker brother. Get under his burden, help him carry it, wait till the Spirit of God brings him to maturity.
You know there are some friends that we all have, that are mature and when we're with them we have certain liberties, not in immoral things, but certain freedom's, and we rejoice to be with them and enjoy and do certain things, and then when we move into other circles we conform to them, you say, that's hypocrisy, that is not hypocrisy. Paul said, if I'm with the Jews, I become as a Jew, if I'm with the Gentiles, I become as a Gentile, that by any means I may win them.
I'm thankful to God for mature Christians with whom I can fellowship and with whom I can share certain things, and I'm thankful for weaker brothers with whom I can fellowship and restrict my life and get under their burdens and love them, and refrain from doing certain things for their sake. What I've shared with you this morning is my heart, and I didn't give you any way to run your life, all I say is that you wanta do what you do with others in mind. And you let God teach you what that means. Well let's pray.

Bill would let judges stop nuisance businesses
HARTFORD -- State judges could close businesses deemed public nuisances, such as illegal massage parlors and bars with multiple instances of drug sales or firearms violations, under legislation that was approved Wednesday in the House of Representatives.
"This is a quality-of-life bill," said Rep. Auden Grogins, D-Bridgeport, who led the floor debate.
The bill is a follow-up to related legislation last year that made it easier to pursue the owners of illegal massage parlors in Bridgeport, particularly in Grogins' Black Rock neighborhood.
After that legislation was passed, Bridgeport police shut down 10 massage parlors operating illegally and arrested several people for prostitution. But within days, some locations had reopened and police had to return to shut them down once again.
Under this bill, state prosecutors could seek court-ordered remedies against companies and building owners, including agreements to stop illegal activity.
Nuisances include the manufacture of illegal drugs, as well as excessive noise at commercial locations, as measured by local police with decibel meters and use of local standards, Grogins said.
"In Bridgeport, they have to measure the noise before and after," she said. "So they'd have to know the reading before the nuisance noise, and afterward. Or, as a police officer indicated to me, that if you could hear the noise from three blocks away, that would be objectively unreasonable noise and in violation of the municipal ordinance."
The bill passed the state House 131-5 and next heads to the Senate.
In related action, the state Senate voted Wednesday night to approve legislation that would make it easier to trace the owners of blighted properties by requiring mailing addresses of owners on land-conveyance documents.
Sen. Andres Ayala Jr., D-Bridgeport, said the bill is necessary to get landlords to keep their properties from becoming blighted.
"Part of the problem is they're not able to communicate with property owners," Ayala said. Owners are responsible for municipal cleanup costs of property.
The blight bill, approved unanimously, next heads to the House.

OTTAWA — The federal government is writing off another $231 million in unpaid student loans this year from more than 44,000 cases, meaning taxpayers are on the hook for more than half a billion in uncollected student debt over the past few years.
Supplementary spending estimates tabled Monday in the House of Commons by Treasury Board president Tony Clement call for an additional $231.2 million in the current 2012-13 fiscal year ending in March to write off 44,048 debts related to Canada Student Loans.
"Amounts being written off are debts for which all reasonable efforts to collect the amounts owed have been exhausted," explains the 145-page supplementary spending estimates.
The new cash for 2012-13 is on top of nearly $312 million on the books from the 2011-12 fiscal year to cover unpaid Canada Student Loans from 98,448 debts dating back more than a decade.
Together, taxpayers are on the hook for more than $540 million over the past couple of years to cover uncollected student loan debt.
The mounting student loan write-offs come as the federal government is preparing to cut more than $5 billion in spending over the next few years as part of a sweeping expenditure review in last year's budget.
However, the department has previously said that more than 98 per cent of the loans written off by the government are dropped because of the expiry of a six-year limitation period between when the borrower last acknowledged a loan and any legal activity by the Crown to recoup that debt.
Once this period has expired, the Crown no longer has the authority to collect the debt.
Approximately 87 per cent of all Canada Student Loans are repaid
In an attempt to collect the debts before the government is legally barred from doing so, the Canada Revenue Agency will send monthly statements and collection letters, recoup income tax refunds and refer accounts to the Attorney General of Canada, which could potentially garnish wages or seize assets.
Approximately 87 per cent of all Canada Student Loans are repaid, the department has said.
All told, the federal government is seeking $1.5 billion in additional spending through the latest round of supplementary estimates to help pay for federal programs and services in the current fiscal year.
Nearly $250 million in extra funding will go to HRSDC in 2012-13 to cover off additional expenses from an increase in the rates and the anticipated number of beneficiaries receiving Old Age Security pension and the Guaranteed Income Supplement for low-income seniors.

DINWIDDIE, Va. (AP) — A southeastern Virginia prosecutor says she will seek the death penalty against the man charged in the shooting death of a state trooper.
Dinwiddie County Commonwealth's Attorney Lisa Caruso announced her intentions Friday at Russell Ervin Brown's arraignment. The 28-year-old Chesterfield County man is charged with capital murder in Thursday's slaying of 63-year-old Master Trooper Junius Walker. Brown also is charged with two felony firearms counts and attempted capital murder for allegedly exchanging gunfire with a trooper who came to Walker's aid.
According to media reports, Brown said in court that he expects to be executed.
Attorney Joseph Teefey was appointed to represent Brown, whose next court appearance is March 18. Teefey told The Associated Press that he wasn't sure why Brown made that statement. He said they met briefly and he was still gathering information about the case.

Randy Seaver likes to play games. He's good at urging us to examine our ancestors with his Saturday Night Genealogy Fun. So I'm a bit tardy. Who's keeping track? The idea was to calculate a random ancestor on your ahnentafel chart, so Randy calls it roulette. Ahnentafels are basically a pedigree system with a number for each direct ancestor. I cheated because the chart I'm consulting starts with my Dad instead of me so it's all Scottish.
Plunging right ahead, my Dad would be 113 if he were alive today. Divide by 4 and round off. Let's see, that must be 28.25. Rounded off Randy's way, that makes it 29. An odd number guarantees it's gonna be a female ancestor.
Say hello to my no. 29, Jessie McKenzie. Let's not confuse her with my no. 13, Jessie McKenzie. Yes ... SIGH ... on top of too many John Frasers and Donald McFadyens, apparently I have two Jessie McKenzies. I probably have several Flora McLeans as well. Others with Scottish heritage probably share my desperate pining for an occasional Cassandra or Hortense to alleviate the pain.
That takes care of Randy's first two tasks. Next up is tell us three facts about this person.
(1) Jessie was born 20 April 1782.
(2) Her place of birth was Dornoch in Sutherlandshire.
(3) She married Donald Campbell (oops, I see more than one Donald Campbell, damn!).
Whew, I made it, three for three. And how do I know all that information? Brilliant research on my part? Not exactly. My delightful cousin Madaline did all this work in her epic Our Campbell Legacy. It's so large I confess I haven't read every page yet. In what remains of my lifetime, I will never achieve what Madaline has accomplished. Fortune smiles on me that we share a lineage making us 4th cousins who have never even met each other in person.
I'm hereby writing this down about Jessie to fulfill Randy's fourth requirement. Jessie and her husband Donald Campbell came to Cape Breton in 1817, probably on the ship Frances Ann among Rev. Norman McLeod's followers. They settled on a land grant at St. George's Channel (on Lake Bras d'Or) in a community that became known as Points West Bay in Richmond County. Their dates of death and place of burial are unknown and forgotten now. Perhaps I will have enough for a Campbells Part 2 one day, but I hope to have given Madaline a live hug by then!

Ah yes, that wonderful terrible Scottish naming pattern which seems to offer the hope of knowing potential grandparent's names when looking at the children but also guarantees that in every generation there are sure to be multiple Williams and Jeans all born so close together as to make them sometimes indistinguishable.
At least when mine finally got to the US they had the decency to name a daughter "Hildegarde"!

Old Dominion wins wild opener
Monarchs will travel to Indiana on Sunday for second round
NORFOLK, Va. -- No. 21 Old Dominion won a thrilling opening round game of the 2011 NCAA Tournament on a chilly Thursday night at the ODU Soccer Complex as they defeated the Liberty Flames 5-4 in penalty kicks to advance.
After two halves and a pair of overtimes went scoreless, the Monarchs (12-5-2) won the coin toss to begin the penalty kick shootout and opted to shoot first. Junior goalkeeper Victor Francoz, junior midfielder Chris Harmon, junior midfielder Jordan LeBlanc, sophomore forward Tim Hopkinson and junior forward Yannick Smith all converted their attempts.
Matching ODU on each goal were Uriah Bentick, Dareen Amoo, Phillip Aseweh and Zach Clark for Liberty (11-6-3). Timothy Bullock was the final player for the Flames to attempt and his shot would be blocked by Francoz to give the Monarchs the win.
ODU remained undefeated at home this season (7-0-2) and moves on to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season. The Monarchs will face Indiana, the No. 16 seed in this year's tournament on Sunday, Nov. 20 at 2 p.m. at Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium in Bloomington.
The Monarchs outshot the Flames, 21-8, and had numerous scoring opportunities throughout the contest but were not able to convert. At the half, ODU had the 14-3 advantage in shots, half of which came off the foot of Hopkinson who finished with a game-high nine shots, three of which were on goal.
Liberty was able to tighten up the defense at halftime and outshot ODU in the second half, 4-3. Flames' goalkeeper Scott Sutarik had five saves in the contest while Francoz saved two shots.

Cal Quantrill throws 4-hitter as Stanford wins opener
Freshman Cal Quantrill pitched a four-hitter to lead Stanford to an 8-1 rout of Indiana State in the opening game of the Bloomington (Ind.) Regional on Friday.
Quantrill (6-5) struck out six and walked two in his second complete game.
"What kept us off balance was just throwing all three pitches for strikes," Indiana State's Jacob Hayes said.
Stanford's Jack Klein drilled a three-run homer in the sixth as the Cardinal (31-23) scored four times in the inning to go up 5-0.
"It was probably one of the best feelings of my entire life," Klein said of his first collegiate home run.
On Saturday, the Cardinal will play host Indiana, which ripped Youngstown State 10-2. All regionals are double-elimination events.
In other games involving Pac-12 teams, host Oregon State edged North Dakota State 2-1 in the Corvallis Regional, Arizona State (33-23) lost 3-2 to Pepperdine (40-16) in the San Luis Obispo Regional and Oregon (42-18) handed Clemson (36-23) an 18-1 humbling in the Nashville Regional.
Washington's game against Georgia Tech in the Oxford (Miss.) Regional was postponed by rain and rescheduled for Saturday.
Softball World Series: In Oklahoma City, Hannah Rogers threw her fifth shutout of the postseason as Florida (52-12) beat top-seeded Oregon 4-0. The Ducks (55-8-1) play an elimination game Saturday against Baylor or Florida State. Also Friday, Jaclyn Traina threw a four-hitter as Alabama (52-11) picked up a 2-0 victory over Kentucky (50-18).

Neoliberalism is an economic ideology centered around the values of a global economy, or globalization: free market, free trade, and the unrestricted flow of capital. Neoliberals advocate minimal government spending, minimal taxation, minimal regulations, and minimal direct involvement in the economy. Neoliberals believe market forces naturally fill many areas of jurisdiction for the highest overall gain.
by Schrodinger's Cat November 16, 2005
Neoliberalism refers to a political-economic philosophy that has had major implications for government policies beginning in the 1970s and increasingly prominent since 1980– that de-emphasizes or rejects government intervention in the economy, focusing instead on structured free-market methods, and fewer restrictions on business operations and that the most important class of rights to expand are those of property enforcement, and of opening nations to entry by multinational corporations. In a broader sense it is used to describe the movement towards using the market to achieve a wide range of social ends previously filled by government.
It is generally hostile to protectionism, social democracy and socialism. It is often at odds with fair trade and other movements that argue that labor rights and social justice should have a greater priority in international relations and economics.
A stark contrast to the earlier entry.

The Democrats in America are nothing more than a bunch of Neo-liberals, and the Republicans are freaking Neo-cons!
by Risky Stuff January 08, 2006
Not to be confused with classical liberalism or theological neoliberalism, these people believe that a free market brings democracy. The classic neoliberal success story is Chile, which under Allende was a socialist democracy. Under Pinochet, the man the neoliberals brought in to replace him, it was a capitalist dictatorship. Famous for fighting with Argentina over uninhabited islands of no strategic importance. Also known as Thatcherists or neoconservatives.
Ultimately, both parties are neoliberal. It just happens the Demos use some lube when they fuck the world.
by Xyzzy March 12, 2005
A neoliberal advocates transferring public goods (drinking water, national parks, interstate highways, internet) to private ownership.
The Republican infrastructure plan, called "public/private partnerships" is a perfect example of neoliberalism in which companies are given tax credits and subsidies to build things such as roads which they will then own and be able to charge fees for.
by grfiv March 18, 2017
A word less intelligent marxists/leftists use to pejoratively describe anything or anyone related to markets, choice, accountability, or privatization when they are unable or unwilling to engage the issue in a more nuanced manner.
"It's really just a symptom of the neoliberal hegemony," a hungover Russell Brand blurted out, resulting in a standing ovation from his Wesleyan University sociology 101 peers.
by dbrook January 16, 2014
A neoliberal is a pussy who believes in the rights of all Americans under the constitution like freedom of speech, just as long as you agree with him. If you do not agree with the cowardly neolib, he will insult you safe and secure from behind his computer on the Internet chat room posting boards.
For a fine example, please go to Craigslist, Chicago section and search in the R n R or Rants and Raves section. Plenty of childish examples of the neoliberal cowardly mentality there. http://chicago.craigslist.org/
by Steve Martin December 09, 2006
Not to be confused with neoliberal economics, a neo-liberal is a person that is the exact opposite of a neo-conservative. Unlike the neo-con, the neo-lib rejects everything related to God and uses more emotion versus logic in regards to social, environmental and political issue decision making.
She was a neo-liberal who believed that it was better to give away all her money to the poor, then feed her own children.

text: The Monroe County Sheriff's Office "Stars" and the Key West Police "Finest" faced off in a basketball game Saturday to raise money for Relay for Life. In a game held at the Key West High School auditorium, the two teams had a great time playing ball together in front of an audience of family, friends and supporters. The effort raised a total of $2,800 in ticket sales, food and beverage sales and the sales of raffle tickets. Although the Sheriff's Office scored 66 to the police department's 33 points by the end of the game, the real winners of this game are the folks who benefit from the American Cancer Society's campaign to find a cure for cancer.

The UltraPixel camera on the HTC One is just one of the handset's many flagship features; you could argue that it's the biggest selling point of the device. Sure, the display is fantastic, and the industrial design is in a league of its own, but Android devices aren't well known for their cameras. The One was supposed to remedy that. Supposed to.
In early hands-on reports and reviews, feelings on the One's camera were mixed. It performed exceptionally well in low-light situations, but in well lit conditions, the results were less than impressive. Thanks to an over abundance of image processing, images produced from the HTC One often appeared blurry, noisy and messy at any sort of crop. Fortunately for HTC, the issues plaguing the One's potentially amazing camera were relatively easy to sort out and will be fixed with a software update.
According to the Singapore-based HardwareZone, after recently swapping out an HTC One review unit, it was noted that the camera firmware had been updated from the previous handset they had been testing, and luckily, had already taken sample pictures with. HardwareZone was able to compare images taken with the first One running the older firmware, with their newer model, and the results speak for themselves.
The photos taken with the newer firmware are miles better. Other than a few issues at ISO 800, the sample pictures provided don't even look like they're from the same camera. With this new firmware, the One will quite possibly have the best camera on any mobile device. Period.
Be sure to visit the source link for a full set of comparison pictures to see the difference for yourself. Does knowing the One's camera is going to be better than originally thought make you excited? I know I can't wait to get my hands on one for myself.
