If there has ever been a genuine revival in Australia, it was surely in 1959 at the time of the Billy Graham Crusade. Everyone who was a part of it, speaks of it as the high point in Australian Christianity.
It seems never before or since have we, as a nation, experienced such a manifestation of robust Christianity. It was front page news and we, as Christians, were proud to walk down the street and have people identify us as believers.
Christianity was mainstream. It was culturally appropriate to be a Christian in the Australia of 1959. You could stand up in your school or workplace and say "I went to the Billy Graham Crusade last night" and get nods of approval in reply.
There might have even been a few in the room feeling a little envious of you. "I wish I had gone and seen what all the fuss is about," they might think to themselves. "I wonder if he's speaking anywhere else?"
He was. The Crusade lasted four months. Well, actually Billy and his team were in Australia four months, but in each major city there was rally after rally. He was in Sydney alone for four weeks.
He went to Melbourne, Launceston, Hobart, Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth and even nicked over the ditch to NZ. He was heard by millions on land line as they gathered in their Church halls to be a part of the moment. The audio tapes were even flown to several Pacific Island nations so missionaries could use them, often acting as interpreter as they were played.
The '59 Crusade was a massive event. It is estimated over 3 million Australians came to hear him preach, a quarter of the nation's population. On average, around 5% of those who heard him went forward at the appeal.
For 50 years we have proudly announced his 143,000 is a record for the MCG. On his final day in Sydney (May 10th) both the Showground and the SCG were used simultaneously; an audience of 150,000 braved atrocious weather.
And so we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the great event (he touched in February and flew out in May) by reminiscing and by analyzing this phenomenon. Why was it so successful and why has it never been repeated; not even by Graham himself in subsequent trips?
I was not around for the '59 Crusade, but I was there for the '68 Crusade. Ah, the memories. There I was sitting on a picnic rug, playing with my matchbox cars, asking for something else to eat. To be honest, I have no memory of it; my older brother described the scene to me. I was 2½ and pretty much acted like it.
I was there in '79 as well. I was 14 and went to every rally. Graham was only in Sydney for a week this time. He was 60 and a bit over all the hoopla of earlier years. Unfortunately, so were most Australian Christians.
The generation of kids who had rushed forward to accept Jesus in '59 became the generation of parents who stopped sending their children to Sunday School. Both the '68 and '79 Crusades were built of the foundation of the first Crusade and were nowhere near as successful. (Graham also came out to Australian in 1969, but only preached in Melbourne)
Basically, it was believed that by bringing Billy Graham out every 10 years, the effects of 1959 would automatically be repeated. After all it was the same man with the same message. But Australia was not the same. The world was not the same.
I spent some considerable time recently reading Billy Graham's autobiography Just As I Am. It's a surprisingly interesting read. I say "surprisingly" because I thought it was going to be about his favourite hymns or something, however it is a journey through a dramatic time.
From post war America, Graham begins preaching to millions and finds himself on personal roller coaster, moving through a changing political landscape, being brought in and out of the White House, meeting world leaders and even finding himself being lined up for the Presidency.
His private conversations with Churchill, Truman, Eisenhower, LBJ and Nixon et al. are fascinating as are the admissions of his personal doubts and mistakes.
The book says quite a lot about the 1959 trip to Australia. Graham had to leave his wife & five small children behind to make the trip and had just been diagnosed with a serious vision problem. This was a tough tour.
But the committee, led by such luminaries as Archbishop Howard Mowell (who died just before the Crusade began) did an incredible job with the logistical nightmare they must have been presented with.
There were warm up rallies in most of the major cities Graham preached at. These warm ups were led by second string evangelists from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. They included Leighton Ford who preached in Brisbane. Ford was Graham's brother in law and has continued his ministry to this day.
Note for Coffs Harbour residents: Leighton Ford was brought to Coffs in 1985 by a committee put together and managed by Alan Smith. The chairman was John Smith (no relation) who would go on to become Coffs Harbour's Mayor soon after. This is often spoken of as Coffs Harbour's own revival. There was a week of meetings in a 5000 seat tent pitched at the Showground. The tent was often full and the messages had a lasting impact on many local people.
Leading up to the Southern Cross Crusade (its original name) there were thousands of prayer meetings across the county; something like 3000 in Sydney alone! Masses of people were trained as counselors and hundreds joined choirs which were put on a roster in the bigger centres like Sydney.
There was intense media interest as well. The news papers and TV stations wanted to talk to Graham and hear his views on just about everything. He obliged and never seemed tired or frustrated. Sales of the Bible hit record highs across the country.
Graham held meetings with civic leaders and church leaders everywhere he went. And not all of the meetings were to "friendly" audiences. He went to Sydney University and preached a message challenging the students to consider the claims of God on their lives. In any era, this is a tough assignment and Graham did not back away from it. (More about this meeting soon)
It was a magnificent event staged beautifully and managed as well as could be imagined. More people turned up to the meetings than expected. Much more. And even atrocious weather didn't stop people responding to the appeal, particularly at the last event in Sydney where the heavens opened right on cue.
And then there are all the anecdotal claims of lowering crime rates and fewer illegitimate births in the years following.
So, fifty years on, what do we make of the Billy Graham Crusade of 1959? More importantly, what has been its legacy. These questions can be answered simply; by all measures, the events of that time represent the only true revival Australia has ever experienced.
I'm not suggesting the whole country was converted. Obviously it was not, but it is impossible to imagine such a dramatic conversion of so many in so short a time without this Crusade.
In Sydney the staggering fact is around 5% of the population made a commitment at one of his rallies. That's 57,000 becoming Christians (or at the very least claiming they had) in just four weeks. The statistics show that during the four months of the Crusade, around 2% of the entire Australian population made a decision for Christ.
Has there ever been anything to match this? Even if you were to be as sceptical as possible & claim those people were only swept up by emotion or perhaps went forward every night to swell the numbers, you can't argue with the fact that they all received counselling and were referred to local churches.
Some churches received hundreds of referrals and had to employ new ministers just to cope with the influx. They literally did not have enough seats for their congregations the following Sunday. It's staggering to think of this. Imagine an extra 200 people turning up to your church this week. At St Stephens in Sydney, 600 referrals were received. Unbelievable.
The Baptist churches were the greatest beneficiaries per capita. Baptists in 1959 accounted for just 2% of Christians in Australia, but they received over 10% of the referrals. Being a Baptist himself I suppose Graham's message resonated with Baptist people somehow, but it's not clear how because nothing in his messages was of a denominational nature.
So we must conclude that the Billy Graham Crusade of 1959 was a true revival in Australia. This cannot be said for his subsequent visits (1968 – Sydney, 1969 – Melbourne & 1979 – Sydney). Our churches are full of people today who made their commitment at this event. It's a lasting spiritual legacy.
But what really makes me curious is how much of what happened 50 years ago could be repeated today. If Billy Graham was a 40 year today and we decided to bring him out to Australia, which are the elements of 1959 we would keep and which would we discard?
Here is my analysis;
Obviously the technology would change the way the Crusades worked. I suspect there would be no outdoor rallies organized due to the weather. The final day in Sydney was lousy. An old friend of mine who was a counselor that day told me of standing in front of Graham during the appeal and seeing ladies in their high heeled shoes sunk up to the ankle in mud. We have so many large indoor venues these days it would be unnecessary to go outside, even though there would be no world record crowds.
Graham would be seen on a big screen at the rally so those up the back knew what he looked like and it would be streamed live on the internet. Perhaps it would even be carried on live TV, but it's hard to imagine a TV station considering it worthwhile.
There is simply no way a Crusade today would offer the music of 1959. By all measures this is the most significant change to the way we do things. Today, every rally would be warmed up by a "worship leader" and a world class band complete with light show.
In 1959 you had the big choirs and a piano; that was about it. The Crusade choir at the Myer music bowl rally in Melbourne was a standout. In Sydney there were two choirs; an "A" and "B" choir and they were rostered on to different rallies over the four weeks so singers could have a break. At the final rally in Sydney the 'A' choir was in the Showground and the 'B' choir was in the SCG next door singing simultaneously.
I think the best example of how different the music was 50 years ago is seen in what happened at the Saturday night youth rally in Sydney. Because it was youth night, the program was a little less structured than normal. This meant George Beverly Shea & Cliff Barrows could sing a duet of Old Time Religion to the accompaniment of a solitary piano. That was youth night!
I'm afraid I have to say some of what happened at the 1959 Crusade makes us cringe today. Most notably is the way everyone dressed up for the event. When you look at pictures of those people hopping off the double-decker buses you see men in suits and women in hats.
They dressed up not just in their Sunday best, but in their best Sunday best. Girls were over-frilled and boys lined up in safari suits. That's what Australians did back then so don't think if you were transported back there you would be wearing your jeans and T-shirt. That was not the culture, but to see it today is quite funny.
It's as though the attenders had to show their respect for the event in the way they dressed. If you dressed like a dag, you were not serious about God I suppose.
But what happened at Mascot as Billy Graham prepared to leave our shores after four months takes the cake. Today, you might have a few dignitaries gather in the international terminal to thank him and say goodbye. They might then even watch as the plane took off in the distance. In 1959 we gave Billy the most overblown send off of all time.
Firstly, a stage was constructed on the tarmac just in front of the plane. (I'm serious – a wooden stage complete with banners and a P.A. system!) In those days passengers walked out onto the tarmac & boarded the plane via moveable steps. While the steps were being wheeled into position, Graham was asked to climb the platform of the ad hoc stage and say a few words to the crowd gathered in pelting rain. He gave a farewell speech which seemed more like a sermon.
There was a comment about how fast the four months had gone, all sorts of thank yous and some words about how John the Baptist had told his disciples to forget about himself and concentrate on Jesus, so the crowd had better do the same.
Then, as Graham waved and offered his final "God bless you", the crowd spontaneously broke into song with To God be the Glory complete with harmony! It seems the Crusade choir didn't want to quit.
At this point, Graham began to sing along; "… so loved he the world that he gave us his Son…". Then, in a moment so foreign to us it seems like it was from another planet, the good folks singing to Graham pulled out their white handkerchiefs, held them up in one hand and began to wave them.
This bizarre ritual was then reciprocated by Graham who had brought his handkerchief for the occasion. There they were, Billy Graham and the crowd, in the rain, waving hankies to each other. What the ?
It's a cringe moment which makes you wonder how this can be only 50 years ago, but everyone seemed to get it. It was right for the time. That time is long gone.
However, when it comes to the messages we have to look carefully at the issues. The Crusade was really all about Graham's preaching and to be honest I think it holds up pretty well today. But that doesn't mean a Crusade today would have the same message. The question is; should it?
I was somewhat surprised to hear a retired minister tell me recently that when he and his friends at the time (they were in their twenties) first heard Graham preach, they weren't all that impressed with him. It seems they were expecting someone who would follow in the footsteps of the great fire & brimstone preachers of the era who could move an audience to tears.
Graham did not overly use emotion in his sermons, but when you listen to them today, they sound very dynamic and forceful. Look at what Graham said to the audience on the final day in Sydney;
"The Bible says the way of the ungodly shall perish. The Bible talks about the lake of fire. The Bible talks about the second death. The Bible talks about outer darkness. The Bible talks about hell. Whatever all of those terms mean, they mean one thing; they mean separation from God. And destruction. And judgement. That's the end of the broad road. And I'm here this afternoon asking you to turn from the broad road before it's too late. I'm asking you to surrender your life to Jesus Christ and enter the narrow gate. The Bible says Jesus said there is a gate. A narrow gate. It's a narrow gate but thank God there's a gate!"
This is exactly the type of preaching which has become parodied as the pulpit-thumping fire & brimstone message of damnation. And you cannot get the atmosphere by simply reading the words. His delivery had passion and volume. And I suspect hearing it on tape today is nothing like it was for those who were there live 50 years ago.
I wonder where we could go these days to preach sermons about hell, judgement, the lake of fire, destruction etc. Not even in some churches I know of. Certainly not to non-believers. We just don't say that stuff anymore. Times have changed and I fear so has our message, but are we better for it?
At the Myer Music Bowl, Graham got onto the subject of the second coming;
"I tell you there is going to be a resurrection. And all of those loved ones of yours that have died in the past in Christ; they knew Christ as their saviour, they're going to be raised. And there's going to be a glorious and grand reunion in that day!"
We're OK with this theology today because it sounds positive and comforting, but it doesn't come up a whole lot because you have to be on the subject of the end of the world or judgement or something similar and when that happens you are automatically saying something about people who have died without Christ. We don't go there much either.
And on day one of Sydney Crusades, Graham opened up with some of the most uncompromising and direct Gospel centred preaching possible;
"I want you to listen to this minute of what I am going to say because this is the most important thing I'll say. You must be willing to repent of your sins. Jesus said 'Except ye repent ye shall likewise perish'. I didn't say that. Jesus said it. Have you repented?"
Then it's into Just as I am (i.e. the song) and at the appeal, they came forward in their thousands. There was hardly enough room for the people to stand.
You cannot say he was merely talking to Christians. That just doesn't agree with the facts. The conversions were unprecedented and, we now know, long lasting. But those people were certainly moving in a more Christian culture than the population today and I think that has a lot to do with why there was such a harvest.
However, not all the meetings were for churchy people. As I indicated before, Graham went to Sydney University and addressed the students with the same positive message, albeit framed in apologetics.
Here is some of what he said to the students that day;
"To receive Christ is not anti-intellectual. God says 'Come now let us reason together' saith the Lord. All the way through the Bible it tells us to use our minds to seek after wisdom and knowledge. To study to show ourselves approved unto God. But the Bible does use this word 'faith' many times. And in order to receive Christ and to have your life changed, you must be willing to readjust your way of living. That's difficult. And the reason many people don't come to Christ and the reason they cover it up with intellectual arguments is because they are not willing to meet the demands of Christ. Christ demands that we deny self. That Christ becomes Lord and master of our lives and that we turn from our wrong doing and start living for him."
No matter where he preached, Graham spoke an uncompromising message. It could be titled "The Lordship of Christ". It was always about turning from your sin and following him. This is undoubtedly why so many made decisions for Christ in 1959.
But we must acknowledge that the culture of the day had prepared the harvest for reaping. The people of Australia were a Sunday School generation. They were not all Christians, far from it, but when they heard the Gospel, the pieces fell into place thanks to years of preparation by all those faithful Sunday School teachers across the nation over so many years in so many churches.
But that is where it ended.
So, what happened?
The biggest question I want answered out of this entire event is: Why did the generation of the 1959 Billy Graham Crusade stop sending their kids to Sunday School?
I guess we only have to look at the 1960's to find our answer. My conclusion is that if the committee which called Graham over to Australia had waited just five more years, it would have been a non-event.
By 1964, the Beatles had arrived on our shores and we wanted what they represented; rebellion against authority. Rebellion against the culture of their parents, against the fashion of the fifties and against the religious constrictions they had been brought up in.
When you look at pictures of the Beatles in 1964, they look absolutely squeaky clean, but that is to make the mistake of placing today's culture into another era. Back then, you could be fired for having the wrong hair cut. When the Beatles grew their hair long, they called out to the young people of the day to reject society's norms and to enter a counter-culture no matter what the cost.
How ironic that this is what Graham was preaching just five years before and the nation said "Yes!" In the Gospel, Jesus called people to leave their old life and follow him no matter the cost. Pre-1959 Australia was ready for this message, but Australia from the 1960's onwards was not listening.
Not that I'm suggesting the Beatles are the cause of all our current problems. Just before they took the world by storm, the contraceptive pill was an even bigger hit. In 1959, Billy Graham called people to a life of purity. Within two years, they were being called to a life of promiscuity.
The 1960's also brought the Cold War with its threat of nuclear destruction and, of course, Vietnam which became so big even Billy Graham could not escape. In his autobiography he speaks at length about the how the Vietnam war threatened to derail his ministry.
"America's Pastor" became a symbol of the old establishment which the younger generation believed needed turfing out. Graham's tours of Australia in 1968 (Sydney) and 1969 (Melbourne) were mostly successful amongst those who were there in 1959 and there was definitely an element of nostalgia to his 1979 visit.
People got converted at those later events, but it was hard work, as evangelism always is. 1959 remains a watershed event in Australian Christianity and one we are eternally grateful for, but it will not be repeated. Not because God can't do it, but because as a nation, we reject his rule.
We want "tolerance" of all religions and equal time for every world view. You're not supposed to say there is only "one way" these days, but in 1959, people entered the Sydney Showground to see the text of John 14:6 in huge letters on the billboard overlooking every meeting.
I would not want many of the elements of the 1959 Southern Cross Crusade if I was to organize it today, but I would definitely want the Lordship of Christ preached. Why would I want anything else? As Paul said:
"I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes". (Romans 1:16)
Church unity
I'm afraid today there would just be no way we could get all of the churches to join together over such a prolonged period for an event to match the '59 Crusade. For a start the charismatic and evangelical churches in Australia really only have a very shallow relationship.
Once when I was trying to pull together people from all the various churches for a similar style (but much smaller!) week of outreach I met with an apathy which was hard to overcome. This was a tent style meeting with a choir, evangelist & counselors; very much in the Billy Graham mould.
Many churches were happy to be a part of it, but at either end of the spectrum, there were problems. The fundamentalist, independent churches refused to be involved in anything where there were charismatic people in any position of influence, especially if they were counselors. Apparently they convinced the new converts would be put through exorcisms & tongues speaking when the "penty counselors" got hold of them.
And the big Pentecostal churches told me they would rather do their own thing. After all, they have the weight of numbers to be successful at just about anything they do, so they didn't really need us & our feeble attempts to hold a mass rally. On one of the evenings we had booked a band from the mega church in town hoping they would do their thing and wow the audience. They didn't even bother to show up.
It made me realize how different the church landscape is to 1959. Back then, the only opposition was from the Roman Catholic Arch-Bishops who advised their people to ignore the whole event completely. Perhaps nowadays Christians simply don't want the outdoor, travelling evangelist type meetings, but I was left with the strong feeling that local churches simply don't want to work together on evangelism anymore.
There may be another reason; perhaps we have discovered the churches don't all preach the same Gospel as they used to. In 1959, the denominations definitely had their funny ways, all of them. But if you went to each church in your area and asked them to explain the Gospel to you, I think you would pretty much get the same answer. I doubt you would today.

(Bloomberg) — Robert Benmosche, the chief executive officer of insurer American International Group Inc., has some tough love for college students graduating in the aftermath of the financial crisis.
"You have to accept the hand that's been dealt you in life," Benmosche said in an interview yesterday on Bloomberg Television. "Don't cry about it. Deal with it."
The CEO is scheduled to give a commencement address May 18 at New York State's Alfred University, where he earned a degree in math and played football. College graduates have struggled to find jobs after the financial crisis sent the U.S. unemployment rate as high as 10% in 2009. Joblessness for recent college graduates, ages 20 to 29, was 12.6% in October 2011, a Bureau of Labor Statistics review last month showed.
"They want me to talk to the students and give them a sense of encouragement, especially with the high unemployment," says Benmosche, 68. "My advice will be, whatever opportunity comes your way, take it. Take it and treat it as if it's the only one that's coming your way, because that actually may be the truth."
The CEO said he plans to tell graduates about his own career path, which included a stint as a truck driver delivering Coca-Cola Co. products that helped him pay his way through preparatory school and college.
After graduating from Alfred in 1966, Benmosche served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army Signal Corps and then worked at Arthur D. Little Inc., Chase Manhattan Bank and PaineWebber Inc. He joined MetLife Inc. in 1995 and took the insurer public, retiring in 2006.
Hiring forecasts
Companies surveyed by the National Association of Colleges and Employers plan to hire 2.1% more new college graduates this year than last, according to data released last month. That forecast is down from the 13% increase respondents projected last year for the Class of 2013.
Benmosche began running New York-based AIG in August 2009, about a year after the insurer's bailout. AIG received a rescue that swelled to $182.3 billion after housing-related bets soured amid the financial crisis. The insurer repaid the aid last year, in part by raising billions of dollars from asset sales.
The U.S unemployment rate dipped to 7.5% in April, compared with 8.1% a year earlier. Before the crisis, the last time the joblessness measure exceeded 7% was 1993.
Benmosche has been weighing whether to move jobs from the New York area to lower-cost locations as AIG seeks to cut costs to boost shareholder returns. He has cited AIG's facility in Amarillo, Texas, as a location where expenses aren't as high.
'Have courage'
"We're in a different economy than existed before for college graduates," Benmosche said. "They're going to have to think about what they love to do, and do what they love, and have courage to face the future."
The insurer has about 63,000 employees according to its annual report. That compares with 116,000 at the end of 2007, before the company had to sell units to help repay its bailout.
AIG delayed a deadline for the sale of its plane-leasing unit to a group of Chinese investors because the insurer hadn't received approval from regulators in the U.S. and China, Benmosche told Liu. AIG said yesterday that either party can terminate the deal for International Lease Finance Corp. if it isn't completed by June 14. The earlier deadline was May 15.
"Over the next month we should be able to receive the approvals that we're expecting," Benmosche said. "We believe that we'll have plenty of time in which to close during this quarter."
Dimon's hand
Benmosche also said shareholders of JPMorgan Chase & Co. are wrong to challenge the authority of Jamie Dimon, 57, the bank's chairman and CEO. Retirement plans including the AFSCME pension fund are seeking to separate the chairman and CEO roles at New York-based JPMorgan. Pressure on Dimon increased after losses of more than $6 billion last year on derivatives trades.
"Jamie's got a tough hand to play," Benmosche said in the interview. "He's playing that hand extremely well."
JPMorgan's board, which includes former Exxon Mobil Corp. CEO Lee R. Raymond and Honeywell International Inc. CEO David Cote, has been giving proper oversight, Benmosche said. He cited the reduction in Dimon's pay to $11.5 million for 2012 from $23 million a year earlier.
Benmosche is eligible for $13 million this year after getting $10.5 million in 2012, AIG said in a regulatory filing last month. AIG has rallied about 30% this year in New York trading after surging 52% in 2012. JPMorgan is up 14% since Dec. 31 and climbed 32% last year.
Benmosche's message of resilience for graduates echoes comments that Charles Munger, the vice chairman of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc., made at the University of Michigan in 2010 about dealing with a tough economy.
"There's danger in just shoveling out money to people who say, 'My life is a little harder than it used to be,'" Munger said. "At a certain place you've got to say to the people, 'Suck it in and cope, buddy. Suck it in and cope.'"

Worship Facilities Magazine Cover Story
October 17, 2009
Worship Facilities Magazine did a cover story on Elevation Church's new facility in Matthews, NC for their September/October issue. This is one of their three locations where they have 11 weekend services around the Charlotte area. Visioneering Studios designed the adaptive reuse project converting an old Ashley Furniture warehouse into the church's first "permanent" location. This was a cool project that I got to be a part of, and it gave me a chance to work with some out-of-the-box thinkers who are reaching unchurched people all around the Charlotte area. More pictures are available at my Flickr site.

text: My first Post Graduate run today without Laura and wondered if the motivation would still be there now the initial target of completing the C25K program was achieved. But I needn't have worried I knew where my 5 minute warm up walk would start/end I had my own music on the iPod with the Nike+ fitness lady counting me through the minutes, I set it for 30 minutes but was aiming to run 5K which I did in 35 minutes . I didn't miss Laura's music choice I preferred mine but I did miss her encouragement the Nike+ lady is very clinical and cold with her time call outs but it still helps me knowing how long I have run and how much more to go. I think a Garmin device is going to be on my Santa wish list but I might wait for the January sales which always start on Boxing Day anyway to see if there are any bargains out there.

80 year old fully informed jury pamphleteer Julian Heicklen has just disqualified as a civil disobedient, now that federal judge Kimba Wood has ruled that his peaceful activity of passing of information on juror's rights could not be construed to constitute jury tampering. The basis of dismissing pending criminal charges against him was that none of the information was directed towards any specific case.
Julian has been arrested numerous times across the country, including a particularly brutal arrest and incarceration in Manhattan outside of the second circuit federal courthouse. Today, he went back to the New York courthouse with the videojournalist who was also arrested with him on the scene November 9, 2009. After the federal decree of the robe over two years later, neither of them were assaulted or kidnapped. From the VJ, bile:
After about 2.5 years Julian and I went back to 500 Pearl St., New York, NY having successfully defeated his jury tampering and my filming without permission charges. No sign of the FPS or court bailiffs…as one would hope.
It was just the two of us. The weather was cold, damp and windy. I believe more court employees / lawyers took pamphlets than random passerbys. Some of them even congratulated him on having his case dismissed.
In the ruling from the judge, we also learn that the FBI set up a sting of sorts against Julian, by having an undercover agent identify themselves as a juror and ask for information. They tried to implicate him by quoting from a pamphlet reading, "It's not the duty of the jury to uphold the law. It is the jury's duty to see that justice is done." Despite the attempt at entrapment, passing out educational material still could not be construed into being a crime.
You can read Kimba Wood's decision here, and see the video of the Nov 2009 arrest here.

So i am not working tomorrow and having a few vodka's
Flicking through the TV and top of the pops 1982 is on.
No1 of course is Human League don't you want me baby ?
forgot what a tune it was !!!
😂😂 whats happening to this forum
I did have a watch on and I was reading the forum while watching top of the pops.
I was also looking at used Rolex on eBay but thought better about another post about rising used prices and went with the human league.
Phil Oakey owns seventeen Pateks, fourteen assorted Rolex models, and five Omega Speedmasters, one of which was supposedly worn on the moon.
You almost got me.
Owning one worn on the moon just swung it.
In my defence I'm sure he's got the money for a collection like that!

The Human League's "Don't You Want Me" was #18 in 1982 (UK). Top 10:
1. "Come On Eileen"......Dexy's Midnight Runners
2. "Eye Of The Tiger"......Survivor
3. "Fame"......Irene Cara
4. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"......Tight Fit
5. "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?"......Culture Club
6. "I Don't Wanna Dance"......Eddy Grant
7. "Goody Two Shoes"......Adam Ant
8. "Seven Tears"......Goombay Dance Band
9. "The Land Of Make Believe"......Bucks Fizz
10. "Ebony And Ivory"......Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder
When "Come On Eileen" first broke onto MTV in the U.S., I thought it was DREADFUL! Kevin Rowland looked (and sang) like he was mentally handicapped! But over the years, I have come to really enjoy it.
Must be feeling nostalgic quite like a lot of the songs in the top 10 :)

Good4U Nutritionist's top tips and advice on preparing for the big day!
Are you ready? Only days to go until the An Post Tour of Sligo! Good4U are proud sponsors of the event which includes a Family Fun Day on Saturday May 4th, with the Tour of Sligo taking place on Sunday, May 5th. We've got your back, as Good4U's Nutritionist and Dietician Michelle Butler has compiled a simple guide for competitors to ensure you give your best performance on the day.
Energy needs on the day will vary depending on age, training load and distance. Fuel for endurance sport depends largely on the supply of carbohydrate to the exercising muscle. A good quality diet with a wide range of foods from across all food groups will help to provide protein, vitamins and minerals for performance.
Part of the training diet will be consumed on the bike so must be easy to carry. Pack foods such as:
1. Bananas
2. Energy Bars
3. Sachet of seeds
4. Sports drinks
On average, 300kcal is burnt during a 30 minute cycle but this will depend on your weight, intensity and incline, so you need to make sure that you are well fuelled.
Consume a rich meal 2-4 hours prior to the start of the cycle, such as wholegrain toast or cereal.
Top up glycogen stores an hour or so before the race with foods such as a banana or muesli bars.
In longer races easily digested carbohydrate-rich foods should be consumed to prevent fatigue secondary to glycogen depletion.
What about carb loading?
In general, people need about 5-7g carbohydrate per kg body weight. When you are carb-loading this should increase this to 7-10g of carbohydrate per kg/body weight. However, you can't completely fill your muscles with glycogen from just one meal, which is why you should start carb loading 3 days before the race. During these last 3 days of training your carbohydrate intake should make up about 70-80% of your total calories. This doesn't mean that you need to consume hundreds more calories than usual; it's just that more of those calories should come from carbohydrates.
Don't just focus on the evening meal the night before the big day. This is a common mistake people make, and only results in you feeling lethargic and uncomfortable afterwards. Sensible carb-loading is about breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. If you can add a few more carbs at every meal and snack you will saturate your muscle and liver glycogen stores, ready to be released around the lovely sights of Sligo.
What about Fluid?
Fluid needs are high, it's important to keep well hydrated during the day and extra fluid throughout the cycle. During the cycle aim to drink 1 litre of water every hour. Plan to refill regularly. Sports drinks can be consumed as they are a good way of supplying carbohydrate and fluid.
Begin the race well hydrated by drinking the equivalent of half a litre to one litre of fluid with the pre-event meal and 500ml immediately before starting.
Best of luck, I'll see you all there. Watch this space for tips on recovery.
Please drop in to the Family Fun Day on Saturday the 4th May, where we'll be standing by with Good4U samples and snacks! Keep up to date with the weekend's events via our twitter (@Good4UNutrition) and our facebook (http://facebook.com/good4u), you can find us on instagram @Good4UNutrition!

Indian submarines could face THREE YEAR delay after MoD cancels Rs 1,800 crore Finmeccanica torpedo contract
The scrapping of a Rs 1,800 crore contract for 98 Black Shark torpedoes last week has thrown a spanner in the works of a critical strategic project - the construction of four 'Arihant' class ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs).
Three of the four SSBNs were meant to be equipped to fire Black Shark heavyweight torpedoes, whose purchase the Ministry of Defence (MoD) cancelled last week.
The cancellation will mean modifications to the SSBN's torpedo tubes, and delay induction of the second vessel by two to three years.
INS Arihant at the Ship Building Centre in Visakhapatnam
Torpedo maker Whitehead Alenia Systemi Subacquei (WASS) is a subsidiary of Italian arms manufacturer Finmeccanica.
The MoD reportedly believes Finmeccanica subsidiary AgustaWestland paid bribes for the 2010 purchase of 12 VVIP helicopters for Rs 3,760 crore.
"Alternatives (to Black Shark) are being considered, but at this stage it will not be possible to divulge further details," an MoD spokesperson told Mail Today.
The spokesperson declined to comment on the nuclear submarine project.
Torpedoes are self-propelled weapons with explosives packed in their nose. They are a submarine's primary weapon, and when fired through torpedo tubes they home in to destroy their targets - ships or other submarines.
Arihant class SSBNs are key to the nuclear triad of land, sea and air-launched weapons. They carry four to eight K-4 nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles with a range of 3,500-km, far from land and safe from any adversary's pre-emptive strike on Indian nuclear assets.
SSBNs rely on the unlimited power of their nuclear reactors for endurance, and on torpedoes as defensive weapons.
The Arihant, which completed deep water and weapon trials this year, is armed with the Type 53-65 Russian torpedoes and fire control system, and thus is unaffected by the cancellation.
It is the second SSBN, the Aridaman, now in an advanced state of construction at the Ship Building Centre, Visakhapatnam, that has been equipped to fire the Black Shark.
The Aridaman is due to be inducted by 2018.
The submarine's manufacturer Larsen and Toubro conducted nearly 20 simulated 'swim out' trials of the Black Shark at a special L&T facility in Pune between 2013 and 2014.
Without torpedoes, the strategic platforms will be incapable of defending themselves from enemy submarines or warships.
Naval officials fear these vessels could meet the fate of the first of the Scorpene class conventional submarines being built at the Mazagon Docks Ltd.
The first Scorpene, the Kalvari, is currently on sea trials in the Arabian Sea. Naval officials say it will be commissioned by the year-end without torpedoes.
Five more Scorpene type submarines, due to join the Navy in intervals by 2022, risk a similar fate given the delays in the torpedo project.
"Scrapping the contract is an ill-considered move done purely for political reasons," Rear Admiral Raja Menon (retired) told Mail Today.
"It (the Black Shark) is the best torpedo in present circumstances. An alternative will mean time and cost and inconvenience," he said.
The time and cost delays could flow from the fact that submarines are only configured to fire a particular make of torpedo. The weapon has to be hooked up to the submarine's fire control system (FCS), which converts electronic inputs from the vessel's sensors into geometric coordinates for it to pursue a target.
The Navy's existing Russian torpedoes cannot be fired from the Kalvari or the Aridaman class submarines without hardware and software modifications in those vessels.
The MoD put the case for acquiring the Black Shark on hold after bribery allegations in the VVIP helicopter deal surfaced in 2013.
Price negotiations with the Italian firm concluded in 2013 after it emerged as the lowest bidder, edging out a German torpedo maker Atlas Elektronik.
In 2014, the Navy pushed the case to buy the torpedo citing an urgent operational necessity which was accepted by the government, but the procurement did not go through as a cautious MoD waffled over the file.
In January this year, Vice Admiral Dinesh Prabhakar (retired), Director General of the classified ATV Project which builds the submarines, wrote a letter to National Security Adviser Ajit Doval warning of delays in the Aridaman if the torpedoes did not come on time.
He requested the option clause for 49 Black Sharks to be exercised to firewall the ATV project from the bribery controversy.
The strategic project is directly supervised by the Prime Minister's Office and the NSA. The latter is believed to have communicated the project team's concerns to Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar.
The government has now changed tack, after the April 7 verdict of an Italian court convicting senior Finmeccanica officials of bribery. All contracts carried out by Finmeccanica and its subsidiaries now face the defence ministry axe.
The Navy, which has five critical projects with the firm, is likely to be the worst-hit. But clearly it is the delays to the nuclear submarine fleet that promise to hit hardest.
Fewer options
The MoD's options to replace the Black Shark have narrowed down to two - government-to-government purchases of Germany's 'SeaHake', or France's 'F- 21' future heavyweight torpedo.
The most optimistic assessments within the Navy say it will take between two and three years for new torpedoes to be acquired, and several hundred crores of rupees to modify the submarines to fire them.
Grievous blow-backs from a kickback scandal.

Rain Chance Returns Thursday
Showers and storms likely on Friday
Rain Chance Returns Thursday
Showers and storms likely on Friday
There will only be a slight chance for a shower overnight. Skies will be mostly cloudy with lows in the upper 60s.
Thursday will continue to be mostly cloudy and temperatures will reach the low 80s. Some scattered showers and thundershowers will likely develop in the area during the afternoon.
Rain chances look higher for Friday afternoon as a system approaches from the west. Some heavy rain and strong storms will be possible.
It appears rain chances will linger into Saturday but we should see gradual improvement through the weekend, with only a slight chance for showers on Sunday. We will head into a warm and dry pattern for the beginning to middle of next week.

2018 Mazda CX-8 Design, Price, Specs and
Performance – Not that lengthy ago Mazda released
a new car for the Japanese market. The all-new 2018 Mazda CX-8
is readied to become the new front-runner crossover in Japan
where the CX-5 is currently their largest model. Even though
not main, it seems the car might additionally strike the United
States coasts in the future. So far the maker determined to
maintain quiet about it but the CX-8 has been actually seen
testing on US roadways.
2018 Mazda CX-8 Specs & Redesign
The vehicle was heavily camouflaged however it was plainly a
CX-8. Similar to its name recommends, the CX-8 ports
appropriate in between the CX-5 as well as the CX-9. In fact
the auto is primarily a mix of the two with a really intriguing
outcome. It has the exact same wheelbase as the larger CX-9
crossover however it is almost 7 inches much shorter as well as
5 inches narrower compared to the larger CX-9. In addition to
that the auto is quite a bit reduced as well makings it look
much more hostile but more on that particular later on.
There suffices space inside the cabin for as much as 6 people
and also it ought to quickly use nearly as much space as its
larger brother or sister. Even though it could seem similar to
its larger sibling, Mazda chose to launch it as an alternative
for those trying to find a sportier auto that do not truly need
all seats whatsoever times. The automobile boasts an actually
rigid chassis as well as it in fact has a really similar
running gear to the CX-5.
Exterior Design
This means it needs to be stiffer as well as much better to
drive compared to the bigger CX-9. Even though the United
States availability is just a rumor at this point, The 2018
Mazda CX-8 will greater than most likely come below as well.
Why? Well, it offers one of the very best styles for a
three-rows crossover and with it Mazda need to conveniently
become their course leader. Although it is mainly based upon
the various other 2 crossovers, the CX-8 looks entirely
Many thanks to its reasonably short size, reduced body and long
wheelbase, it slightly appears like a coupe-crossover. The
raked rear window, the instead low front end and the curved
roof-line make the automobile look like absolutely nothing else
in Mazda's roster. The front is similar to the CX-5 yet it is
fairly clear Mazda dealt with the style lines in order to make
the CX-8 stick out simply a bit a lot more.
Mazda CX-8 Interior Design
The 2018 Mazda CX-8 has only been confirmed for the Japanese
market. Because of that the car is actually mosting likely to
be available only in greater end trim degrees. This is since in
Japan three-rows crossovers typically aren't selling in
addition to in the other markets as well as they are gotten
mostly by individuals looking for convenience as well as
high-end. Due to that the CX-8 is readied to include natural
leather upholstery, light weight aluminum inserts, Mazda's most
recent infomercial system in addition to all the safety
showcases they have to offer. Like we stated, it appears the
CX-8 will only be offered as a 6-seats design which is
uncommon. This is because the automobile will include specific
middle-row seats for an included amount of comfort for the rear
travelers. These will certainly likewise gain from a facility
console with an armrest, cup-holders and USB billing ports.
Engine Performance
The 2018 Mazda CX-8 has actually been validated to get a 2.2
liter turbocharged inline 4 diesel. This engine will certainly
be released quickly in the United States too as well as it is
going to make 173 horsepower and also 310 lb-ft of torque. All
the power will certainly be sent either to the front or to all
four wheels using a 6 rate automatic transmission only. Now it
appears a gas-powered engine is still unpredictable.
Nevertheless, if the vehicle is going to be released on the US
market then it will more than most likely get a minimum of a
2nd engine.
This will likely be Mazda's currently well known 2.5 liter
turbocharged inline 4 powertrain. This engine uses only
somewhat over 250 horse power however it can give approximately
310 lb-ft of torque which is really outstanding from a gas
engine. Unlike the diesel, this particular design is expected
to be readily available with a basic all wheel drive system.
However a manual gearbox is not likely going to be readily
available because the CX-8 is intended as an executive
crossover an action above Mazda's various other offerings.
Price and Release Date
2018 Mazda CX-8 You have actually most likely discovered that
Mazda CX-5 is $2,000 less costly over in Japan. Moving on, when
we think about the price of CX-9 which begins at $32,000 for an
entry design we could compute the price of 2018 Mazda CX-8.
Taking into consideration that it will fit bellow CX-9 and that
Mazda's versions are usually cheaper in the land of rising
sunlight we have a final thought. The upcoming 2018 CX-8 will
be priced approximately $24,000.
When it comes to the release day, some sources declare that it
will appear prior to the end of the year. Leftlanenews.com also
recommend that 2018 Mazda CX-5 might have its launching at
upcoming Frankfurt Electric motor Show. At first, the lorry
will be sold exclusively in Japan. Many people hope that Mazda
is mosting likely to fill its SUV lineup with this version in
the United States, yet this remains to be seen.

Brooklyn Dental Inlays
Porcelain inlays are used to repair teeth that have a mild to moderate amount of decay. They can also be used to restore teeth that are cracked or fractured if the damage is not severe enough to require a dental crown. Because they can be created from tooth-colored materials, porcelain inlays are often used to replace metal fillings for patients who desire a more natural looking smile.
Patients that desire a natural smile often request porcelain inlays since they are highly undetectable.
One of the most important benefits of porcelain inlays is that they do not leave room for bacteria to enter the tooth area. Since dentists are able to closely adhere inlays to the tooth, the possibility of further decay is greatly diminished. In addition, porcelain inlays last many years, significantly longer than any other type of filling. Due to their longevity and durability, the placement of porcelain inlays often prevents the need for further dental work at a later time. Porcelain inlays can strengthen teeth and prevent future tooth breakage or loss.

Posted on Tuesday, October 24, 2000 - 9:13 pm:
I just tried and got into the NoMSG board with no problem. Please don't blame "them" for the problems they were experiencing with the site. I'm sure they were doing all they possibly could to get back online as quickly as possible. We need BOTH sites, and I intend to check them both every day. Also remember, there is a LOT of historical information and posts on the NoMSG board which is priceless, and Searchable.
We all need to support each other, so please don't get mad when you are really just frustrated with something you can't control. Thanks for listening...

Mike and I appreciate all your comments. NoMSG has finally found a better host server for their site and hopefully, things will stay on track. I'm glad the situation forced us to start one here, something Mike and I had only discussed before. Yes, the more information we can share via the Net, the more suffering individuals will be apt to make the MSG connection. So please visit both sites regularly and share your experiences and very important messages about excitotoxins and other terrible additives.

Deb A,
Is there any way we can get or save the content of the discussion board from the nomsg site? I meant to print the postings out so I could keep track, but I didn't get the chance to do it. That it may be lost, would be a tragedy. I hope we can recover it.
Roy Piwovar
Posted on Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 8:38 am:
One possible, but time consuming way, would be:
The next time you catch the NoMSG site working, individually open the discussion sections, highlight them to the bottom (it will flow down the postings and not stop after each one), right click in the highlighted field, choose "copy", and then right click the second time to paste it to an e-mail for printing.
Posted on Monday, October 30, 2000 - 6:31 pm:
Or paste it into your word processing software for future reference.

I like the structure Mike has chosen for your message board. I too would hope that past "relative" comments could be retrieved from the NOMSG site and archived here. I'm sure Mike's editorial experience could simplify some of the postings or combine experiences.
Recently I have recommended this site and the NOMSG site to a fellow worker suffering potential MSG/Aspartame symptoms and I think she would be helped a lot by the past commentaries.
Roy Piwovar
Posted on Tuesday, October 31, 2000 - 9:00 am:
The last time that I was able to access NoMSG.com, after it had been down for a while, all of the past postings were intact, which means that they probably still are.
If anyone knows who the web host is and how to contact them, perhaps we can retrieve the message archives and transfer them here even if they never come back on line again.

Hi all, Just back from a MSG free vacation on the Bahamian island of Exuma. Everything is home made in the restaurants and bakeries. Makes you wonder about our great country when a little country like the Bahamas can make things from scratch.
My sister, a supermarket manager, says it is a shelf-life issue. Here in the US we have the big market chains and things must be able to stay on the shelves as long as possible, hence the chemical additives.
By the way, what has happened to the NoMSG website? It was up and working again when I left and now it is down again.

Deb A,
Thanks for missing me as you stated in the Sharing Media Reports and Letters Related to the Issue section. I have been traveling a lot for work lately and when I've returned I haven't found the time to write. I have been reading, however, and am glad the flow of information is continuing. Sorry to see that the NOMSG forum still has problems. I had posted to many A-Fib related sites that the NOMSG site and its forum were lifesavers for me, but now many will probably be frustrated that the forum is not available there. All that past information was valuable - especially to newcomers.
Your new forum is set up a little better than the last with its categories, but unless everyone posts their posts in the correct category, the categories will blend and those seeking pertinent information will still be required to read all posts. I don't have a solution, because I am guilty to responding to a thread that is off topic only to realize my posting should have been placed in a different category (after it has been posted). But then I couldn't respond properly to the thread so that's why I can't suggest a solution.
Maybe having the category title repeated right by the "ADD A MESSAGE" would help us all maintain posts to the correct categories. I see that the category appears at the top of the "Preview Post" page, but most people posting are probably more focused on what and how they posted, and not on the category. Maybe we could "dummy" proof the process with a "pop up" window that says "Are you sure you are posting this message to the most appropriate category?" then "If not please post to one of the following." And list the available categories. This might initially cause some threads to be shifted to other more appropriate categories, but over time it could prove beneficial.
Remember we at one time mentioned that these posts could be helpful to someone doing a research paper, article, etc. The easier we make it for such a person to use our information, the better chance we have of attracting attention. Think how convenient it would be if while talking to a reporter or politician or other influential personage, we could document our points of contention by simply referring them directly to the Sharing Media Reports and Letters Related to the Issue section. And if we could assure them that by doing so, they would have immediate access to useable source and commentary information.

Hi there, I am not a computer wiz so am not sure how things work, but I have found it hard on this site to remember where things are. I have seen a comment about tyramine somewhere, either here or NOMSG, but I'm not sure what it was under. A word search of the site would be helpful for this type of problem. Don't know if it's possible, but would certainly be useful. Candy

Let's help the people who want to be helped first, then worry about the rest of the population. Once we get our numbers up, maybe we'll have a chance. When the newcomer area is ready, maybe you could ask for a tally of how many are visiting the site for the first time, this way getting an indication of how many new people are actually checking out msgmyth. I think a special area for newcomers is a terrific idea.

Maybe we could add a counter box to the site that would show how many log-ons there have been since a specified date.

Deb A. Are you sticking with Discussware or is Mike going to consider a whole new redesign?

MeMorris, we are looking into the costs of a new program right now. Mike has had lots to catch up with at work since the Reno trip, so this weekend he will be finding more time to examine the options and the ideas being suggested. I'm still catching up answering all the e mail that was waiting. Keep the suggestions coming! You are helping so much.
