Church Members Say the Darndest Things to Their Missionaries
guest post by Larry Dinkins
Growing up, I enjoyed a TV program called, "Kid's Say the Darndest Things" hosted by Art Linkletter. A few of my favorites are:
What do we learn from the story of Jesus turning water into wine?The more wine we get, the better the wedding is.
When God punished Eve, what did he make her become?A housewife.
What ever happened to Adam and Eve?God sent them to Hell and then transferred them to Los Angeles
Recently I read an article called "25 Really Strange Things Members Said to Their Pastors" on churchleaders.com. It made me think of strange things that I've been asked during my 37 years as a missionary to Thai people. During my mission career, church members have come up to me saying they have been following my ministry for years and would like to ask me some questions. I am pleased, of course, but many questions are so clueless that I am thinking of making a large laminated FAQ sheet with answers printed on it so I can simply point to the answers (a few of the following questions are fictitious, but most are questions I've been asked in all sincerity):
3 Global Strategies We Should Learn from Prosperity Preachers
It is no secret that the prosperity gospel in booming globally. Although many Western Christians may brush off prosperity preachers as fringe hucksters and con artists, anyone who has ministered in churches in the global South is aware that health and wealth preachers are a major force to be reckoned with. They are gaining huge audiences and exerting tremendous influence on shaping the beliefs and practices of large sections of the church worldwide.
Book Review: "From Buddha to Jesus" by Steve Cioccolanti
From Buddha to Jesus: An Insider's View of Buddhism & Christianity, by Steve Cioccolanti (Sweet Life International, 2007, 240pp.)
—reviewed by Larry Dinkins You wouldn't expect a pastor of an International Church in Melbourne, Australia with a name like "Cioccolanti" (Italian for "chocolate") to claim an inside track to the mind and worldview of Buddhists. However, his claim to an insider's view of Buddhism is substantiated by his Thai upbringing and exposure to a very religiously diverse extended family. Besides his Thai Buddhist roots, Steve has added to that a broad education in America and Europe which allows him to address Buddhist issues from both an oriental and occidental viewpoint.
Me and My Awesome, Ground-Breaking Ministry
When I sit down to write a prayer letter, I often feel like I need to come up with something new and exciting to tell my supporters. After all, they are giving lots of money and praying for us, so I should have something significant to report, thereby justifying my existence. But I often have trouble figuring out what to write. Most of the work we are involved is in the category of "slow-and-steady-wins-the-race" and not in the category of "awesome-ground-breaking-pioneer-ministry-look-what-we've-done-now!" Thankfully, the vast majority of our supporters seem to understand that fruitfulness in ministry is a long-term, Holy Spirit wrought endeavor, not just a list of man-driven activities. Nonetheless, I would feel bad just writing, "Same as last month. Keep praying. Thanks" and then sign off. So I need to write something. It needs to be accurate, informative, interesting, and not overstate the what we are really doing. On slow months, when not much new is happening, that last one is difficult.
Resources for Apologetics in the Thai Context
A number of people have asked me for apologetics resources in Thai, so I thought I would assemble a list of what is available. You'll find that list down below but before you go get the goods, there are few things that need to be understood about apologetics in the Thai context.Apologetic Issues in Thailand are Different than in the West
Apologetics resources in the English language are intended to meet the challenges to the Christian faith in the English speaking world. For various cultural, historical, and religious reasons, not all of those issues are applicable to a Thai-speaking audience and thus do not need much attention (if any) when teaching on apologetics in Thailand. Issues that the vast majority of Thai Christians are not dealing with include higher criticism, secular humanism, the historicity of Adam, the inspiration and infallibility of the Bible, atheism, and postmodernism. Those are Western issues that grew out of historical and cultural forces in the West stemming from the Enlightenment, Rationalism, and the Fundamentalist / Modernist controversy. For the most part, Thailand did not experience those movements in Western thought. To the degree to which Thailand has experienced those movements, it has only been peripheral and mostly confined to the more educated upper-classes who have lived abroad or received a Western education.Please don't misunderstand me. I am not saying that the issues I've listed above don't matter or are not important. They are important. They do matter. But the the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible are not being called into question in Thai churches, so why mount an apologetic defense against an enemy that your listeners haven't met (and probably won't meet) in their context?
The Right Attitude Toward Theological Opponents
During the past couple months, I've had several long discussions in Facebook comment threads about a certain televangelist who was coming to Thailand to put on a big event in Bangkok. The brothers and sisters who commented on my posts had various different approaches, both as to their thoughts on this man and his ministry, and also in their tone and manner of discussion. Sometimes the comments were helpful and furthered meaningful discussion. But, as anyone who has spent much time on Facebook can tell you, some comments were not so helpful. But one thing became clear: the attitude you have towards others and the way you say something matter just as much as what you say.
In light of that, I found the following testimony about Asahel Nettleton's attitude towards those with whom he differed to be rather instructive, and a good reminder. Nettleton, if you are not familiar with him, was an early nineteenth century evangelist whose Calvinistic preaching resulted in many revivals with lasting fruit as he itinerated throughout New England and the mid-atlantic states. His theology and methods came into direct conflict with those of Charles Finney and his followers. Biographers Bennet Tyler and Andrew Bonar, contemporaries of Nettleton, said this about him:
My Literate Bible Study with Oral Learners
One time I was doing a Bible study in Ephesians with a Thai couple. The wife was from Bangkok and had a bachelor's degree in accounting. The husband was from the countryside and had the equivalent of an associate's degree in sculpture, or something along those lines. As we going through chapter 5, I pointed to a verse and asked, "What does this say about Christ and the church?" The husband looked down at his Bible briefly, then looked up and gave some general answer about Christ. I said, "Uh, that's true. But what does THIS verse say?" He looked at the Bible again, and again gave an unrelated answer from his general knowledge. He wasn't getting it and I didn't know why. It was so simple. Just look at the verse. It's right there in front of you. But, in retrospect, I was asking him to think in a way that he wasn't use to. I was asking him to use a type of thinking that he wasn't use to. He could definitely read but he wasn't a literate thinker. He was an oral thinker. And I wasn't getting through.
Book Review: "Orality and Literacy" by Walter Ong
A few years back, Nicholas Carr wrote an article entitled "Is Google Making Us Stupid?", arguing that the nature of reading online alters the way that people think. Reading on the internet is different than reading a printed page in that the online environment pushes us to scan, skim, and hurry through our reading material. We are impatient to get to the point quickly so that we can move on to something else. The result is that people who regularly get their information online not only have less patience but also less ability to understand sustained and detailed argumentation. Google is, in fact, making us stupid. Our ability to think and reason is being impaired. Carr's research and insights were eye-opening and disturbing for myself and many others because we as human beings often embrace technology without realizing the effect that it is having on us. Only in retrospect do we see how our tools have changed us. And those changes are not always good. Because the advent of the Internet is near enough to us in history for many people to remember what it was like without it, Carr's article created a sense of sorrow for what we are losing in a digital age. Namely, the ability to think. However, there also is another technological shift that dramatically altered our thinking ability. But nobody talks about it. Nobody knows. Nobody remembers. Except perhaps Walter Ong.
Eight Ways Missionaries Can Improve their Language Ability
In my previous posts (part 1, part 2), I talked about why long-term missionaries should not minister through translation, and why some missionaries fail to learn the local language. This post will focus on what missionaries can do if they want to learn the language well for long-term ministry effectiveness (and for their own mental, emotional, and spiritual health).
New Missionaries, Just Do Language Study. Period.
Above all else, new missionaries must resist the temptation to take on formal ministry responsibilities too quickly. By all means, hang out with your neighbors and share the Gospel as you are able, but avoid running the church's English program or preaching on a regular basis. Above all, prioritize language early on. For the first year, just study the language. That's it. Seriously. After that, get a tutor or some other local language helper to help you study part-time. After a year of full-time language study, you can start to do some ministry but there is still a long way to go. The second and third years on the field will probably focus heavily on language study as well, even as you start to lead Bible studies, run kids clubs, and pray with people in the local language.
Four Reasons Missionaries Fail to Learn the Language
In my first post, I gave a number of reasons why doing long-term ministry through translation is a bad idea. Most missionaries would agree with me in principle, but in reality some of them have a low proficiency in the local language after years of being on the field. Why does this happen?
1. Over-Spiritualizing
Sometimes there is the temptation to over-spiritualize God's ability to work in spite of weakness. Many will say, "My language isn't very good, but God will use me anyhow." There's a lot of truth in that statement, and I would encourage new missionaries and short-termers do their best with what they've got, and to trust the results to God. But if you are saying that same thing after being on the field for 10 years, there may be a problem.
God does work supernaturally in many ways and on many occasions, but the fact of the matter is that God usually uses natural means to accomplish his will. We can't count on Pentecost happening everyday. God is sovereign but He still expects us to use the means and resources that he's given us in order to carry out His Sovereign Will. That means many long hours and years of language study, both formal and informal.
Why Doing Long-Term Ministry Through Translation Is a Bad Idea
I love the Gospel. And I want to see any missionary loves the Gospel succeed in what they do. But it saddens me when I hear about missionaries who have a lot to offer but are held back by poor language skills. I am not talking about new missionaries who are just starting their language study. I am talking about missionaries who have been on the field for YEARS.In this first post (see part 2, part 3), I want to explain why this is a problem. It should go without saying that missionaries not being able to speak the local language is a problem but there seem to be churches back home and mission leaders on the field who do not help missionaries to give sufficiently high priority to language study, and therefore handicap their long-term effectiveness.
The Surprising Power of Bible Narrative with Thai & Tribals - Dr. Larry Dinkins
I have just finished four orality (Simply the Story) workshops in the Thai language in Khon Kaen, Bangkok, and with Thai/tribals in the Chiang Mai area. This is the fourth year that we have done such training with the Thai and these patterns continue to emerge:
Orality and the Need for Bible Storytelling in Thailand
1. Thai at their core are oral learners and although education is widespread, the majority after school do not use what they have learned and often end up semi-literate or even functionally non-literate. It may be true that most all who come to Christ have been influenced at some point by printed material or tracts, but it is the relational dimension of hearing personal testimonies/witnessing that influences them the most.
Literacy Rate in the USA & its Implications for Missions
One would think that Americans are fairly literate group of people. But unfortunately, many are not readers, nor even critical thinkers. That's not to say people aren't smart but just that they don't process and learn primarily through the printed word. I've included below a fascinating summary of the literacy rate in the United States (source). The implications for evangelism and discipleship both in the West and the Majority World are staggering. For more info about oral strategies for sharing the Gospel, see this page on the Simply the Story website.
What would you guess the literacy rate is in the USA? The published literacy rate for the USA is 98%. Interestingly beside that rate, there is a note saying, "85% functionally literate." Humm? I wonder. What does "98% literate" mean then?
How to Write a Prayer Letter for Your Short-Term Mission Trip
If you are going on short-term mission trip for the first time, it can be overwhelming to think about the amount of money that you need to raise. How do you go about asking people for money?…. oh, and prayer too, of course! The purpose of this post is to provide a quick start guide to writing prayer / support letters for those going on short-term (or not so short-term) missions trips.
First, we need to remember that don't write prayer letters just because we need money. Even if we were independently wealthy and could pay our own way five times over, we would still want to write prayer letters to people because a mission trip is a spiritual endeavor. A prayer letter is an opportunity for you to invite people who know you to be involved in what you are doing and in what God is doing in another part of the world.
Discernment, Thai Culture, and the Traveling Prophets
One of the great strengths of Thai culture is the high value placed on maintaining the peace. Social harmony is very important to Thai people. You don't get upset at bad drivers or pushy salesmen. You don't have an argument in public. You avoid saying things that would embarrass other people or make them feel bad. In many ways, this value on maintaining social harmony and good relationships makes Thailand a wonderful place to live.
But there is also a downside. Feelings get hurt and people never forgive each other. Injustice, error, and corruption run rampant and are swept under the rug. Leaders at all levels abuse their power and no one says anything. Sin is winked at and everyone pretends that everything is okay when they know it isn't. The need for holiness and reconciliation is one the great challenges facing the Thai church today.When the Prophet Comes to Town...
Into the midst of this cultural milieu come the traveling prophets. Teachers like Joyce Meyer and Cindy Jacobs parachute in to Thailand and receive huge venues to speak to the Thai church. They are big names in many evangelical and charismatic circles in America but are relatively unknown in Thailand. But they quickly become known as their big show event is promoted broadly in the small Christian community in Thailand. It is big. It is exciting. And it is "Christian."
A "Chick Tract" Contextualized for Thailand?
I have to commend the folks at Chick Tracts for making a good effort to produce a contextualized tract for Buddhist Thailand. If you are not familiar with Chick Tracts, they are a brand of cartoon tracts that are (in)famous in American evangelicalism (and fundamentalism?) for their very direct nature. They are engaging little tracts that draw you in, keep you reading, and usually end up with the main character being cast into hell after watching a "This Was Your Life" movie before God's judgment throne. The best way to describe Chick Tracts is "in-your-face." In the Chick tract, "The Tycoon," (read here), a wealthy Thai Buddhist businessman is commended for his large donations to the temple. Periodically through his life, Christians try to tell him the Gospel but don't get very far because they are quickly ejected from his presence, or he himself ridicules them. He dies in a car wreck and is condemned before God's judgment throne.Is this tract contextualized well for Thai Buddhists?
Book Review: "Telling God's Stories with Power" by Paul Koehler
Paul F. Koehler, "Telling God's Stories with Power: Biblical Storytelling in Oral Cultures" (William Carey Library, 2010)
reviewed by Karl Dahlfred
In "Telling God's Stories with Power: Biblical Storytelling in Oral Cultures," Paul Koehler identifies and presents a solution to a problem that continues to plague many missionaries and national Christians worldwide. In short, traditional modes of Gospel communication in many so-called developing nations don't seem to be working. Bible schools are churning out graduates and these graduates are preaching and teaching the Gospel but people are tuning them out. Converts are few. Discipleship and church growth are stunted. What's gone wrong?
Where Do Missionaries Get Their Money?
As my wife explained to a long-time friend how we need to get our support back up before returning to Thailand, a puzzled look came over her face. "Don't they pay you a salary?" Actually, they don't! The idea that missionaries get paid a salary just like an employee at any other company is one of the biggest misconceptions about missionary support that I've run into. And I know that my wife and I are not the only ones who've encountered it.
Unlike NGOs who apply for grants to fund their operations and pay salaries, missionary organizations generally don't have those funding sources available to them. So where do missionaries get their money? In this post, I want to briefly explain the three major ways that missionaries are funded. I hope that this will be a help for those interested in becoming missionaries, for those who wonder how missionaries get their money, and for missionaries who want to help their friends and supporters understand their circumstances.
Self-Funded Missionaries
There are some missionaries who don't need any external financial support from churches or individuals. Some of these self-funded missionaries go to the field when they are older and have retirement savings to live on. Others may have served in the military for twenty and have a government pension to live on. Others are bivocational missionaries who have regular secular employment in the country where they serve. The school where they teach or the business they run provide ample income for them to live and minister. Within this category, we might add those missionaries who are partially self-funded. They have an internal source of income that contributes to, but does not provide fully, for all of their needs. So, they still need traditional missionary support in addition to whatever pension or local salary they draw from.
Denominationally-Funded Missionaries
There are some church denominations who fully fund all missionaries who are accepted to work under their denominational mission board. The biggest of these is the Southern Baptist Convention, although the Christian and Missionary Alliance and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church use the same type of pooling system. On the plus side, missionaries who get their money this way don't have to be concerned about raising or maintaining a certain level of financial support. On the down side, there is sometimes less personal connection and commitment between local churches and individual missionaries. And, more significantly, if the denominational mission board needs to make budget cuts, they may eliminate funding for your position, or for your entire field of service. Under this system, there is still occasion for missionaries to need funding for exceptional needs above and beyond what is in their normal budget. However, regular living and ministry expenses are covered by the denomination.
Individual & Church Funded Missionaries
The majority of missionaries rely upon the generous donations of individuals and churches to make up their budget for living and ministry costs. Whether they are working under their denominational mission board or an independent or inter-denominational mission organization, it is up the missionaries themselves to find their own support. This generally involves contacting individuals, families, and churches to see if they want to partner with them in prayer and finances. In the American context, some missionaries are quite forward and will solicit money directly, asking you to consider a gift of $50, $100, or more on a monthly basis. Others merely present their ministry, ask for prayer, make their needs known, and leave it up to the individual/church and God. The best, or most biblical way to go about support raising is a huge topic in itself but it will suffice for now to note that the majority of missionaries cannot do what they do without the voluntary financial support of local churches and individual believers.
Transparency in Finances
The question of missionary finances can be mystifying at times, for all involved. Churches want to know, "Does this missionary really need money? How much? How will the money be used? Are they doing a ministry that we want to support? How do we ask this missionary about finances without seeming too nosy?" Missionaries want to know, "How interested is this church in supporting with us? Is there any rhyme or reason behind how much they give or don't give? How can I be upfront with my financial needs without seeming like a mercenary?" Supporters (and potential supporters) want to know, "Does this missionary need my support? Will my contribution really make a difference? Or will it just go into some organizational blackhole somewhere?" Not everybody has the same questions about missionary finances but regardless of where someone stands, missionaries and those who support them should be brave enough to ask good questions and openly communicate about finances as needed. Personally, I do not like to seem like a salesman. But at the same time I know there are people who are interested in what my family and I need as missionaries and want to help us if they are able. But they are not going to know unless I tell them. The most helpful guideline that I've heard regarding communicating about money is, "Share about finances commensurate with interest."
Dependent on God's Provision
There are pluses and minuses of each model of missionary support and many missionaries, at one time or another, wonder if the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. But what type of support is best for a given missionary (and his family) will depend upon one's home church and sending organization. At the end of the day, however, all missionaries are dependent upon God to provide the resources that they need to do what God has called them to do. My wife and I are thankful for the many churches and individuals that provide our support and trust God to raise up new supporters at the right time when current supporters are no longer able to give or when needs increase."God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply." - J. Hudson Taylor
How Biblical is Preaching?
I've recently been studying various passages of 1 and 2 Corinthians to better help me understand Paul's theology of preaching. One passage that has particularly struck me is 1 Corinthians 1:17-2:5 for in it Paul argues that the message of Christ crucified (that is, the content) and preaching (that is, the form) go hand in hand – that they cannot be divided. Indeed, in this passage Paul actually argues for preaching.
In 1 Cor. 1:17 Paul is continuing to address the issue of divisions in the Corinthian church, by minimising his role of baptising, and stating that Christ's commission to him was to "preach the gospel." However, for Paul it matters how the gospel is proclaimed. Therefore, he refuses to preach with "eloquent wisdom" (ESV). Literally the Greek of this phrase is "the wisdom of a word," and refers to the use of Greco-Roman rhetoric. (This was a particular form of oration popularised by Cicero and Quintillian, in which the aim of a speech was to "persuade an audience, the end is to persuade by speech" (Cicero, On Invention 1.6), that is, to create belief. To do this an orator would so adapt and craft his message (content, style and delivery), that it would bring about the desired end with a given audience. Therefore, Greco-Roman rhetoric is a form of speech or proclamation. It is a form that Paul rejects because it would render the cross of Christ void (1:17), since a person's faith would rest on human skill in oration rather than on the Spirit's power (2:4-5).
Preaching for Life Change
guest post by Dr. Larry Dinkins
At the U.S. Center for World Missions a group of us mission trainers were asked to brain storm concerning our understanding of an "ideal" cross-cultural church planter. They encouraged us to go ahead and dream, so we listed most all of the skills, character traits and qualities that would make for a successful church planter. Only when this target was clearly defined did we take on the task of designing a training program to ensure our desired result. Recently I've been reflecting on how this same process can be applied to preaching. Clearly defining what you want to happen in the life of your listener by the time the sermon ends (and beyond) will hugely shape how one constructs and delivers a sermon. The typical response I received at the end of my sermons in Thailand was, "Di mak, Ajarn" (Good sermon, Teacher). Although gratifying, I never knew just what they were taking away from my forty minutes of preaching. Now hopefully older and wiser, I am shooting for a more clearly defined target.

What's a safe level to set the power boost to in any senario? And off topic, what does afterburner do with the wrt54g? Can't find info on it anywhere. Thanks

After more than two weeks of aicd/aeration, I hope I'm finished. I'm out of acid and hope I'm where I need to be. This mornings test results with my TF test kit:
ALK 90 (Although the pool store, which I cannot stay out of, said it was 60.)
I have a severe lack of confidence when reading Ph, so I keep running back to the pool store. They read results with a little light box that connects to a computer and spits me out a printout with results and how to fix it. They want me to raise my ALK which I spent the last two weeks lowering from 280. I know better! The pool still looks clean and sparkly and that makes me really happy!

Battle Not With Monsters
A few weeks ago April 28th I ventured off to The Broad Street Cafe in Durham (http://www.thebroadstreetcafe.com/) to check out Battle Not With Monsters solo. I reviewed their album and recorded a few shows awhile back. Well, as life takes it, things can change. Battle Not With Monsters is predominantly that of Patrick Blackburn. He is a good ole boy from Stokes County who somehow managed to be influenced by some great music. Blackburn has definitely spent many of nights writing, listening, and working on his craft. What is evident with Blackburn is he enjoys playing and performing. Plain and simple, he does it for himself and if a few people enjoy it along the way, he is stoked.
Throughout the evening at Broad Street Cafe, people seemed to enjoy the music. Families and folks sat, drank some beer, had a great pizza, while listening to Blackburn's stories and chords. A good vibe was in the air that night. Patrick Blackburn plays mostly original tunes with staples like "Save Me As I Am", "Ode to Allen Ginsberg", and a few surprise covers like the Pixies "Where is my Mind." If you are looking for a relaxing evening with usually some pleasant music, check out Broad Street Cafe. Also, if you feel so obliged, please have a listen to Patrick Blackburn and Battle Not With Monsters. Patrick's information can be found on the posted link.
Unfortunately, I did not take any video of the show, but below you will find a previous show where Blackburn performs.

Karlie asks: I'm running the Chicago Marathon next weekend. I know this is your hometown race. Can you share any tips for the course? It will be my fourth marathon, and I'm trying to improve my time.
I'm so excited for you and the other 40,000 runners that will hit the streets of my sweet home Chicago next weekend. As you already know, it's a great race to push your limit, as it's flat, fast, and has been the host to four world record times. Catch it on a perfect weather day, and it's the course of marathon dreams come true.
Running a marathon best happens when the planets are aligned. When you think about how often an elite runs a personal best, you'll begin to appreciate just how special a personal record is when it happens. I say this because you can run an improved time and achieve your goal (I'm hoping you do), but you can also "win" the race by running a strong marathon, even if it's not your fastest. In both cases you walk away with high honors. An elite runner can win the race but not run a personal record. They can also run a personal record time but still not win the race. It's all about reaching for your best performance on the given day.
Here are 10 tips for running your best at the Chicago Marathon.
- Visualize the course. Knowing the course is the first step in conquering it. Review the map and get familiar with where the aid stations are and the general layout of the course. I'm a visual person, so I like to break it up into the three arms — the north side, the west side, and the finishing leg on the south side. That way, when you're standing in the corral at the start line, you can take comfort in thinking only about the first arm of the race—the north side. It takes all the mental pressure off trying to "eat the elephant in one bite."
- Pace yourself. Once you have a visual-mental plan, you can weave in a pacing strategy. Seasoned runners can color-code the north with yellow (easy effort), the west side with orange (moderate effort), and the final push on the south side with red (hard effort). You can read more about how to pace by color here. The number one mistake runners make in the Chicago Marathon is running the north side—or the first section of the marathon (from the starting line to mile 10)—too fast. It's cool, it's flat, and it's fast—the three ingredients that can induce bonking later in the race if not handled mindfully. You've got to be patient and wait for it. Plus, at eight miles into the race (my old neighborhood), the Frontrunners will treat you to high-energy dancing in amazing costumes (better than the Pride Parade, some say). It's a challenge to avoid jumping in and dancing but store that energy for later in the race.
- Invest in mindful minutes. Once you get into the rhythm of the race, you'll ebb and flow through high-energy and calmer areas on the course. When you reach the calm sections, take a minute and think mindfully to center yourself on breathing from your belly and tune in to how hard your breathing rate is. Is that where you should be at this point in the race? If not, slow it down and wait. Tune into your form, and think head to toe about what is going on in your body (head over shoulders, shoulders relaxed, arms swinging like a pendulum, hips under your shoulders, and feet landing under your hips). A mindful minute brings you back to what matters the most: your mind and body.
- Navigate the aid stations efficiently. Your first aid station will come at about a mile and a half into the race. Run in the center of the street and toward the middle set of tables (avoid the first tables because that's where everyone stops, so the course bottlenecks). Pay attention to the order of the fluids—water or sports drink, as that's how it will be for the rest of the course. Identify a volunteer by looking at them in the eye or pointing, take the fluids, get them in you rather than on you, thank the volunteer, and be on your way. Establish an aid station system, and hit the repeat button on it at every stop. Race like a triathlete and treat every aid station like a transition, thinking ahead of time about what you need, where you'll get fluid, and what you'll drink. There are 20 aid stations on the course, and if you're not focused, time can slip away as you get fatigued in the race.
- Run the tangents. With every marathon comes turns, and Chicago has many of them. When a course is measured (and certified) it follows the tangents to the curves. A tangent is a straight line just outside the curve (or as close to the curve while still on the road). Set yourself up to run the tangents on the turns. This will help you in two very important ways: One, it keeps your mind actively engaged in running the course as you think your way through every turn. And two, you will run only 26.2 miles! You can add more than a half-mile to the course by taking the long way around turns! Stay focused, grasshopper, and set yourself up efficiently as you wind through the course.
- Draft in the wind. They don't call it the Windy City for nothing. If it turns out to be a windy day, race like a cyclist and draft off a pack of runners. You'll be surprised at how much energy you can conserve by running in a draft versus a head or sidewind. If the wind is coming at you head-on, run behind a taller person or group of people running at your pace. If it's coming from the right side, run at their left shoulders. If you're running in a group, take turns leading the pack and dropping back. It keeps the group working together and makes the time fly by!
- Mix up the pace. The greatest thing about the Chicago Marathon is the flat and predictable course. But that's also the most challenging, as you're wear pattern is the same the entire way. Once you get into your race tempo halfway through the race, add in 20 to 30-second pick-ups where you change up your stride, run faster, and mix up your pace a bit to keep your legs loose. You'll be amazed at how sprinkling in a few pick-up's during the no-man's-land miles (17-21) can keep your legs fresh.
- Play mind games. As you navigate through Chinatown and the dancing dragons and into the toughest miles of the race (21+), get out of your head and dedicate every mile to someone you love, who has loved you, who helped you train, who supported you, who is ill, who cleaned your stinky running clothes or believed in you. It will take your mind off yourself and keep you motivated to run for someone outside of yourself.
- Run for the buildings. At just over 23 miles into the course you'll be on Michigan Avenue and running towards Grant Park—the finish line. You'll know this because you can see the skyscrapers ahead! This is a long, straight shot and a perfect place to go fishing. That is, casting out that invisible hook and reeling in that chick ahead in the cute pink-and-purple-spotted top and passing her (nicely). Then casting it out again and again, keeping your effort consistently strong. With each fish you reel in, you gain more energy to finish strong. It will keep your mind focused and your pace faster than you can believe.
- Be the hill. There aren't many hills in the Chicago Marathon, but there is one you're likely to remember at the very end. As you make the turn off of Michigan Avenue onto Roosevelt Road, a hill that looks like something out of the Peanuts cartoon strip (but feels like Everest!) will greet you with open arms. You'll hear the roar of the crowd and the announcer at the finish as you climb up all 10 vertical feet, wondering how something so small could feel so hard. Think short with your stride, drive your elbows back, and don't let your ego get the best of you. After running 25.5 miles of flatness, a hill of any height will be cause for resistance, but know it will be there to welcome you to the finish.
Good luck in the Chicago Marathon. I'll be at the expo and on the course cheering you all through one of my favorite races in the world.

I've not been a freelancer for terribly long, and I'm registered on a few sites like PPH, but I've noticed a worrying trend when I read job posts: a definite lack of detail. Why does this worry me? It means that clients are probably a) spending unnecessary time answering a multitude of further information requests and questions, and b) not getting the best freelancer for the best rate.
On a personal level, this means that I am not able to provide you, my prospective client, with the information you need about how I will approach the work, how long it may take and what value I can offer you.
As a service to clients and fellow freelancers alike, I'd like to offer six tips on what to include in your job ad so that you are contacted by the best freelancers for the job, and they can write the best possible proposal.
What to include in your Job ad
- Include a company description. It only needs to be a line or two, but an idea of what your organisation does, where you are based, a link to your website and what industry you are in is extremely helpful. Some creatives are better suited to certain types of work in certain industries, and this will help you attract freelancers who are the right 'fit'.
- Elaborate as much as possible about 'tone'. One word descriptions are not terribly useful as they can be interpreted several ways. Playful, formal, casual can all have different meanings according to where the article will appear and who the audience is. A casual style for a business audience is very different to a casual style for a fashion magazine audience!
- Be clear on the scope of the work you need. Always include the number of pages, word count, size of publication, the number of versions and how many rounds of amends you require – and be very specific. If you aren't clear, you will end up paying far more than the quoted price when it becomes apparent the job is bigger than you first thought. And, the freelancer may not be keen to work with you again.
- Start date and deadline. I cannot emphasise how important this is, and I can guarantee you've been asked this question a hundred times. Freelancers are juggling endless tasks and are unlikely to bid if they can't fit your work in or give it the time it deserves.
- Topics can be misinterpreted, so be specific. One line is often not enough. If you are too broad the freelancer will be left wondering how much research they need to do and you'll be left answering questions on what you are really hoping to achieve.
- Use the extra notes section to your advantage. If you are seeking a copywriter, also include your website URL (or links to websites or content you are inspired by) so that we can get a feel for how you wish to communicate to your audience.
- Background and objectives: Why do you need this work completed? What are you hoping that it will achieve?
- Audience: Who will be reading/watching/seeing this work? Where do they live, what age are they? What careers are they likely to have?
- Where the work will be published: Is it intended for a blog, printed publication, website or billboard?
- Inspiration: These can be links to websites, magazines, blogs, Instagram, Pinterest…the list is endless, but it will give your freelancer an idea if their style fits with yours.
- What resources and/or information you are able to provide at the start of the job: This may be in the form of access to key staff; examples of company documents or past work; style, branding or tone of voice guides. The more you help us, the more we can help you!
- Anything you couldn't fit in the other categories!
Freelancers want to write proposals that fit the bill, and would love to provide you with relevant examples and ideas that connect with the idea that you hold in your mind of the finished product. We want to get the work off the ground as quickly as you do – and the more information you can provide, the more easily this will happen.
Writing with so much detail may seem like extra work you don't have time for, but spending ten minutes really thinking about the job, why it is so important, and the type of person you'd love to have to work on it will make an enormous difference to the proposals you receive and, ultimately, the work you receive back.

Baseball legends meet fans at Rosemont flea market
While hunting for bargains Sunday, shoppers at a suburban flea market got a chance to meet some living sports legends.
Wolff's Flea Market in Rosemont hosted appearances by several players of baseball's Negro League, the group of black teams that thrived in the years before baseball became an integrated sport. Nathan "Sonny" Weston, former outfielder and first baseman with the Chicago American Giants, and Ray "Boo Boy" Knox, a former catcher with the Giants, were among those who attended.
The former players chatted with fans, signed autographs and sold memorabilia. Weston, 82, a resident of the south suburbs, said he was delighted that people are still interested in the Negro League.
"It's such a thrill when people come by," he said. "And I thank God that I'm still around to talk to them!"
The Negro League was established in the late 19th century and existed until the early 1950s. It was a key outlet for blacks who wanted to play baseball, especially before Jackie Robinson broke the sport's color barrier in 1947.
Weston, who grew up in the "small, country town" of East Chicago Heights (now known as Ford Heights), joined the Chicago American Giants in 1951 after trying unsuccessfully to make the rosters of the Chicago White Sox and the Brooklyn Dodgers.
"They told me they liked how I played, but that I needed more 'seasoning,'" Weston said with a chuckle. "I wasn't going to let that stop me. The way I saw it, baseball was my game."
He played for the Giants until the league disbanded in 1952. He continued to play the game in various semipro leagues after that, even while working full-time in the automotive industry. Weston said he loves the game to this day.
Steven Casper, a baseball fan from Milwaukee, stopped to chat with Weston while at the flea market.
"It was really cool," Casper said. "I guess I've always thought of the Negro League as something that happened a million years ago, but a lot of players from those teams are still around. As a fan, this made my day."
Wolff's Flea Market, which features 725 vendors, opens at 6 a.m. on Sundays through Oct. 27 outside the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Wolff's also operates a flea market in Palatine. For more information, go to wolffs.com.

IP and Innovation
Both intellectual property (IP) rights and antitrust are intended to foster innovation, which is a major contributor to economic growth and higher living standards. However, the protection of IP rights is sometimes in tension with the promotion of competition. The AAI seeks a balance between IP law and antitrustlaw and has focused on the role of standard setting organizations, patent ambush, pay-for-delay agreements, patent exhaustion doctrine, and the over-use of injunctions in certain infringement situations.

Automated Clearing House, or ACH, payment processing is an electronic authorization network used by financial institutions to instantly approve funds transfers initiated by businesses or consumers, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Payroll direct deposit and automatic bill payment from a bank are common examples of ACH payment processing.Continue Reading
Financial institutions manage ACH transactions through batch processing, which allows the origin bank to accumulate payments in batches and transmit them periodically through a central operator, such as the Federal Reserve, the National Automated Clearing House Association explains. ACH operators transfer batches to the receiving institutions, which are given one to two days to settle the payment, depending on the type of transaction.
The payor sets up ACH payments by providing the receiving party with a bank account number and routing number, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau states. In some cases, the transaction is approved instantly, but processing takes several days before the funds are reflected in the destination account. The payorメs bank may instantly reject a preauthorized ACH payment if the account balance is insufficient.
The ACH network is governed by the NACHA operating rules, and all financial institutions that originate or receive ACH payments pay fees for every transaction entry, the National Automated Clearing House Association notes. Per-entry dues cover the administrative costs of operating the network and ensure that each institutionメs contribution is proportionate to individual network activity.Learn more about Business Resources

First Aid Articles for Youth Basketball
Here are some First Aid Articles for Youth Basketball related to health and first aid that we found on the internet that we thought might be of interest to youth basketball coach's and parents. There are many different subjects covered here, but of course it would be impossible to cover them all (we will add more First Aid Articles for Youth Basketball as more become available).
Most articles are too long to show on this menu page so each article will have a PDF file attached for your convenience…
LEGAL ISSUES IN FIRST AID Courtesy of http://FirstAidTopics.com/
It's a valid concern to ask what you might be legally liable for if you give first aid. Generally, as long as you act reasonably and prudently when you give first aid, you don't need to worry about being sued. In fact, most regions explicitly encourage bystanders to give first aid with what is referenced as "Good Samaritan laws." These laws protect citizens and medical professionals who act in good faith to give emergency assistance to ill or injured persons at the scene of an emergency.
According to experts in the field of first aid, the following are reasonable actions:
If the person is conscious, you must always get permission before helping.
Move the person only if the person's life is endangered.
Call EMS for professional help.
Only do what you have been trained to do in a real first aid course offered by a authorized agency.
Check the person's airway, breathing, and circulation before providing further care.
Continue to care for any life-threatening conditions until EMS personnel arrive.
If the person requiring first aid is a child, seek permission from a parent if they are in the immediate area. When the parent is not available, you do not need the child's permission to help.
If there is ever a concern the courts will examine whether you did the best you could under the circumstances. Proving negligence will require the plaintiff to prove that you did something grossly wrong, which is hard to do. However, if you start administering first aid, you must continue until EMS arrives. Stopping first aid once you've started can get you in trouble.

Childhood Sports Injuries and Their Prevention: A Guide for Parents With Ideas for Kids
Ms. Ramirez was sitting in her office when the phone rang. "Ms. Ramirez? Your son, Raoul, was injured during football practice. His knee may be badly hurt. He is going to County General. Please go to the emergency room right away." She tried to remain composed, but could feel panic creeping through her body. With her breathing shallow and heart pounding, she dropped everything and tried to remember how to get to the hospital.In the past, Raoul had only experienced scrapes and bruises, like most kids his age. Ms. Ramirez was hesitant to let him play a rough sport like football that requires considerable physical contact. But she chose not to keep him from playing his favorite sport. Now she was facing her child's first major injury.

Kids and Their Bones: A Guide for Parents
Revised April 2009
Typically, when parents think about their children's health, they don't think about their bones. But building healthy bones by adopting healthy nutritional and lifestyle habits in childhood is important to help prevent osteoporosis and fractures later in life.Osteoporosis, the disease that causes bones to become less dense and more prone to fractures, has been called "a pediatric disease with geriatric consequences," because the bone mass attained in childhood and adolescence is an important determinant of lifelong skeletal health. The health habits your kids are forming now can make, or literally break, their bones as they age.

Created in 1987 in Antwerp by accident, Kipling are now a global phenomenon. The idea for Kipling came about when three young designers discovered the crinkled nylon fabric which gives Kipling its signature finish. Having found the material, the friends created a line of sports inspired, functional bags.
When deciding on a name for their creation, they settled upon the surname of Rudyard Kipling, the author of the iconic Jungle Book, as they felt book summed up the fun and playful nature of their creations. The monkey emblem also stems from the book, carrying on the playful vibes. The Kipling monkeys are all named after employees and Kipling now sell the monkeys separately and in themed collections.
Over the last ten years, Kipling have collaborated with some of the greats, from Helena Christensen to Peter Pilotto, to create unique and standout designs.
From bumbags to backpacks, Kipling have something for everyone. Their use of the crinkled nylon paired with webbing straps and chunky zips, poppers and drawer cords makes the bags incredibly light and durable, perfect for every day use as does their love of storage sections, pockets and clips.

My dad worked for a famous hotel chain as a sales trainer. That meant that every six to eight weeks we went from one city to another or one country to another. Since I did not go to a regular school I never missed out on gifts during the holiday season, mainly because I had nothing to compare it to. Yes, I would see other children have new-ish looking toys, but I never felt bad about it, and my cousins did not rub it in.
Because we traveled there were no trees, gifts, or fancy dinners, or toys. Throughout the year I would receive books. I couldn't spell worth **** but I could read, go figure.
Then when I turned twelve my best friend asked what I wanted for Christmas. I was like uh … hmmm… I had no idea what he was talking about. No one had ever asked me that before.
Christmas in itself is confusing, at least for me. From what I see around me it is confusing for everyone else. I am not sure what to think. One side says it is about the spirit of giving, the other says it is about the birth of Christ. Yet Christ, according to scholars, was not born on December 25th so it must be about the demon giving gifts to good children and eating bad children, according the the original story of Sinter Klaaus by the Sammi people (See the Movie Rare Exports which explains that story somewhat, in a modern way). I have tried in vain to put this authentic information on websites either to be blocked or the posts just disappear. No one wants to know of the evil the "holiday" poses, and those that do confuse people with the name Krampus.
We need a demon that eats bad parents, but they are probably nasty tasting, right Hannibal?
Regardless the holiday spirit has changed over the centuries to what it is today. A time for giving, and closeness of family and extended family. Being of a Native American background, traditional, giving was done all year long. So opening presents on Christmas, wrapped no less, is a foreign concept.
However this Christmas I got a surprise I would have never expected. Each year since I was twelve years old Paul and I have sent each other gifts throughout the year, something very special to us. At some point we started sending gifts on Christmas as well. Christmas 2016 would be no different.
Yet it was, for me at least. Others, for the first time in my life sent gifts as well. Mel and Steven. From Paul I got a new hard drive I desperately needed, a 32 gig USB drive that I thought was a nail clipper, and the movie Krampus (which is said he is the shadow of Sinter Klaaus) (yea right). From Steven I received a Blu Ray of The Darkness. From Mel I received another Hard Drive (In November both my hard drives failed). Now they were all wrapped, however being Native American that does not count, so I opened them.
I was in happy tears, not knowing what to think. To many of you this will not sound like much and to others it will sound like a lot, keeping that in mind I am not bragging, I just wanted to share my first Christmas in twenty-seven years. So thank you all.
Do not read past this point if you want to hear the truth.
St. Nicholas was sainted for performing miracles much larger than those of Christ himself. However the old texts that you will not see at your local library paint a different picture. Yes he gave to children and the poor, but he also picked out many children and absconded with them where they would work as slaves. Many said the children never returned. It is thought that the jolly Saint Nick ate many of them.
In the back of your mind you know why your children are afraid of Santa Clause yet you deny it and push them onto him. Keep that in mind as you read the following articles.

EA Giving a Free Game to Those Who Bought SimCity
It's no secret SimCity's server issues have caused an Internet uproar over the first week of its launch. Review scores have been altered, Amazon stopped selling digital copies of the game, specific features have been temporarily stripped, and the world has spewed a constant stream of venom towards EA due to SimCity's atrocious server problems. It looks like EA is trying to get in everybody's good graces again, as the General Manager of Maxis Lucy Bradshaw announced that folks who activate their copy of SimCity before March 18th will receive a free PC download from EA's library.
Bradshaw also mentioned in this post that sever capacity has increased by 120 percent in the past two days, and that they are close to maintaining constant stability. Apparently the main problem was that they did not expect so many people to log in during the first week, and their beta tests did not prepare them for this.
Good on EA on trying to trying to do some disaster control in what has been PR nightmare for them. People already hated EA with all their heart before SimCity came out, and this server bonanza has done nothing but reaffirm their position. While offering a free game won't fix the servers, at least EA recognizes that this has been a serious problem and are trying to make good with their customers.
