Lesson 14
September 23- 29
The Results of Witnessing
WHAT A REWARD! "The redeemed will meet and recognize those whose attention they have directed to the uplifted Saviour. What blessed converse they will have with these souls! 'I was a sinner,' it will be said, 'without God and without hope in the world; and you came to me, and drew my attention to the precious Saviour as my only hope . . . .'
"Others will say: 'I was a heathen in heathen lands. You left your friends and comfortable home, and came to teach me how to find Jesus, and believe in Him as the only true God. I demolished my idols, and worshiped God, and now I see Him face to face. . . .'
"Others will express their gratitude to those who fed the hungry and clothed the naked. 'When despair bound my soul in unbelief, the Lord sent you to me,' they say, 'to speak words of hope and comfort. You brought me food for my physical necessities, and you opened to me the word of God, awakening me to my spiritual needs. . . . My heart was softened, subdued, broken, as I contemplated the sacrifice which Christ had made for me.'"Gospel Workers, pp. 518, 519.
As we study this week's lesson, let us keep before us the rewards of witnessing for our Savior, rewards that we can enjoy both now and for eternity.
I. Failure? (Acts 17:32-34).
II. Objections and Excuses (Acts 22:12-16; 24:25; 26:27, 28).
III. Acceptance or Rejection (Acts 28:23, 24).
IV. Witnessing and Finishing the Work (Acts 17:5-7; Rev. 14:6-10).
V. Eternal Results (Acts 28:11-16, 30, 31).
MEMORY TEXT: "And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord" (Acts 11:21, NKJV).
Describe the results of Paul's mission in Athens. Acts 17:32-34.
People rejected Paul's message on many occasions. In some instances, as in Athens, he did not see large groups becoming Christians. His work there is used many times as an example of faulty evangelistic strategies, but the record indicates that some people did believe.
One of the people who did accept Christ at Athens was Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus. The Areopagus was an honored court of justice that held jurisdiction over certain crimes, religious offenses among them. The Areopagus also licensed teachers and controlled education.
Another person mentioned as having accepted Christ at Athens was a woman named Damaris. Because women in Athens were restricted, no respectable woman would have been in the marketplace listening to Paul. It is likely, therefore, that upon hearing him, she turned from a life of ill repute to one of righteousness. Imagine for a moment the number of people whom just these two converts probably influenced for eternity!
What do the following verses teach us about failure versus success in witnessing? Luke 15:3-24; John 4:7-26, 28-30, 39-41.
Despite what we view as a setback, we must remember that soul-winning work is God's work. Feelings of personal failure or success have no have place in it. Failure is doing nothing; but "when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to co-operate with One who knows no failure."Christian Service, pp. 261, 262.
"Workers for Christ are never to think, much less speak, of failure in their work."Page 261.
We will, however, care about the results, because "the results do not end with this life, but reach over into eternity."Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, p. 411. We always will do our best in order to maximize the results, remembering that even though in soul winning there is a combination of human and divine efforts, conversion is always a miracle from God.
|Think of some people who have accepted the gospel as a result of your witnessing. Remember some who rejected the gospel. Can you think of some who have not accepted it yet? Pray for all of them now!
How did Ananias encourage Saul to make an immediate decision to accept Christ? Acts 22:16.
Paul's conversion involved a twofold commitment.
1. He committed himself to Jesus on the Damascus road, immediately referring to Jesus as "Lord."
2. He committed himself to the body of Christ through baptism in the city of Damascus.
Before making either of these two commitments, people often present objections and excuses. The devil uses objections and excuses as "iron bands" to hinder people from making their decision for what is true. "Many are convinced that we have the truth, and yet they are held as with iron bands; they dare not risk the consequences of taking their position on the side of truth. . . . Just at this critical period Satan throws the strongest bands around these souls."Testimonies for the Church, vol. l, p.646.
What excuse did Felix give to Paul when confronted with the issue of eternal consequences? Acts 24:25. King Agrippa? 26:27, 28. What can we learn about witnessing from Paul's response to Agrippa? Verse 29.
Felix's wife Drusilla had been married to Azizus, King of Emesa. But Felix had charmed her away from her first husband. It is no surprise then, that when Paul began to speak about "righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come" (24:25, NIV), Felix dismissed him. One way of knowing we have succeeded in making the gospel personal is when someone makes an excuse, and then an exit.
As stated earlier in this Bible Study Guide, an objection is an honest block to a strong decision. The soul winner cannot secure a decision until the block is removed. An excuse is an attempt to avoid making a decision. A good way to learn a person's objection is by asking the prospect to read Acts 22:16 and then ask the person, "Is there any reason why you would not make a decision to follow Jesus right now?" Then wait in prayerful silence. If the prospect answers No, both the witness and the prospect may join in a prayer of thanksgiving. But if the prospect offers some objections, the witness may ask, "Is that the only reason?" Usually the last objection is the most important.
"I am too busy." "I am not ready." "I will do it later." What are my excuses for not serving as a witness today?
Review and describe the attitudes of Felix and Agrippa to Paul's appeals.
Acts 24:25 _________________________________________________________________________
26:27, 28 ______________________________________________________________________
"When persons who are under conviction are not brought to make a decision at the earliest period possible, there is danger that the conviction will gradually wear away."Evangelism, p. 229.
How did some of the people respond to Paul's evidence of the gospel? Acts 28:23, 24.
From the first proclamation of the gospel found in the book of Acts (Acts 2) to the last (Acts 28), we find that when the gospel was preached to unbelievers, some accepted it, while others did not.
When the Christian witness notices that the student does not accept a doctrine just studied, one option is to move to another subject. Many issues will find spontaneous answers while other doctrines are being studied. Of course, the witness must pray harder, asking the Holy Spirit to bring conviction. "The arguments of the apostles alone, though clear and convincing, would not have removed the prejudice that had withstood so much evidence. But the Holy Spirit sent the arguments home to hearts with divine power."The Acts of the Apostles, p.45.
What did the apostles do when people rejected their message? Acts 13:48-52; 14:4-7. What can their attitude teach us about our attitude regarding the success or supposed failure of our witnessing attempts?
The acceptance or the rejection of the gospel carries eternal consequences. The Bible often describes these consequences in terms of contrasting options: life and death, good and evil (Deut. 30:15); blessings and curses (30:19); and a narrow path and broad way (Matt. 7:13, 14). For others, read Matthew 7:24-27; 25:2, 33, 46; and Revelation 20:15 and 21:1. Christian witnesses are ambassadors for Christ who invite sinners to repentance, conversion, baptism, and perseverance (see 2 Cor. 5:20; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 22:16; 14:22).
|If your eternal destiny would be decided today, would you be saved? How do you know?
What were Christian witnesses accused of in Thessalonica? Acts 17:5-7.
Explain the relationship between sharing the three angels' messages with the world and finishing the work. Rev. 14:6-10.
The book of Acts records many deeds of the early Christians that, according to their enemies, "turned the world upside down." The Bible describes in the book of Revelation how the messages of the three angels are taken to "every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people" (Rev. 14:6); this means the whole world. The people who share these messages are not waiting for something extraordinary to take place some day in the future under the influence of the "latter rain." Many are already participating in the finishing of God's work by knocking on doors and giving Bible studies to their friends, neighbors, and relatives. Others are leaving their families to spend the rest of their lives witnessing to thousands of people groups.
How will God finish His work? Through committed members, willing to sacrifice the conveniences of time, home, town, family, church, country, and even life itself, to go "to places where the very name of Christ has not [even] been heard" (Rom. 15:20, NEB). "Servants of God, with their faces lighted up and shining with holy consecration, will hasten from place to place to proclaim the message from heaven. By thousands of voices, all over the earth, the warning will be given. Miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and signs and wonders will follow the believers. Satan also works with lying wonders even bringing down fire from heaven in the sight of men. Revelation 13:13. Thus the inhabitants of the earth will be brought to take their stand."The Great Controversy, p. 612.
|"Evangelistic work, opening the Scriptures to others, warning men and women of what is coming upon the world, is to occupy more and still more of the time of God's servants."-Evangelism, p. 17. Does your witnessing today include "opening the Scriptures to others"? In addition to giving Bible studies and helping with evangelistic meetings, think of other ways you can open Scripture to those in need. Is it possible to open the Scripture to others without opening it to yourself? Explain.
Under what circumstances did Paul go to Rome? Acts 28:11-16, 30, 31.
"For years Paul had longed to visit Rome and preach the gospel there (Rom. 1:11-13). He must have reflected on the sharp contrast between that eager expectation and the realities of his arrival. But out of the shocking contrast Paul found reason to take courage, and fresh assurance of God's leading. Paul was skilled at finding reasons for great hope in what appeared to be the most discouraging circumstances. . . . He was a confirmed and incurable Christian optimist."SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 6, p. 461.
Many times doors to witnessing opportunities seem to close in front of us. Retirement, serious illness, even the solitude of a prison cell at first might seem to deny us the chance to witness. However, Paul's experience teaches us just the opposite.
How does the book of Acts end? What two words describe the way Paul witnessed while remaining under house arrest? Acts 28:31.
In one sense, the book concludes with an enthusiastic spirit of freedom. To be sure, Paul was a prisoner; but his bonds did not prevent him from proclaiming the gospel. It is easy for the reader to forget Paul's chains and to celebrate with him the freedom of the good news.
In another real sense, the book of Acts does not conclude at all, for the work goes on through the witnessing of many even today. All of us involved in whatever facet of witnessing are carrying on the great legacy handed down to us through the ages by our sisters and brothers in the early church. Let us all work together, so the mission can be all that God intends.
The same Jesus is still standing at the right hand of God, absent from believers in the flesh yet present with them in the Spirit. This same Spirit, who moved upon the church at Pentecost, is moving upon the church today. The acts of the apostles will not conclude until Christ's followers have fulfilled their great commission and they, along with those they helped to save, will be swept into the heavens at the Second Coming.
|The rewards of witnessing are both present and future. What a joy it will be to see and to greet in heaven those whom we have brought to Jesus and His salvation! What a joy it will be to hear the Lord say, "Well done!"
FURTHER STUDY: Regarding the rewards of witnessing, read Paul's testimony in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Also read 1 John 3:1-3.
Read any or all of the following: Christian Service, "Reward of Service" pp. 267-275; Gospel Workers, "The Reward of Service" pp. 512-519; Evangelism, "The Message Triumphant" pp. 692-707.
"The great purpose that constrained Paul to press forward in the face of hardship and difficulty should lead every Christian worker to consecrate himself wholly to God's service. Worldly attractions will be presented to draw his attention from the Saviour, but he is to press on toward the goal, showing to the world, to angels, and to men that the hope of seeing the face of God is worth all the effort and sacrifice that the attainment of this hope demands.
"Though he was a prisoner, Paul was not discouraged. Instead, a note of triumph rings through the letters that he wrote from Rome to the churches. 'Rejoice in the Lord alway,' he wrote to the Philippians, 'and again I say, Rejoice. . . .
"'My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. . . . The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.' [Phil. 4:19, 23]."The Acts of the Apostles, p.484.
SUMMARIZE in your own words the rewards of witnessing. What concept of success or failure should we have when we witness, and why? Explain the relationship that exists between witnessing and finishing the work.
After studying the lessons this quarter, would you like to make a commitment to serve God as a witness to His love? If you answer Yes, pray to God now that He will help you to do so. Ask Him to give you an opportunity to implement what you have learned throughout these 14 weeks.

Mali is virtually an unentered country, with fewer than 500 Adventists in a population of 10 million. Mali is a large, landlocked country located in the bulge of Africa. Most of the people are Muslim or animist, but in spite of this, people are willing to listen to the gospel, and many are accepting Christianity.
We planned an evangelistic series in one town where the people are strongly influenced by animism and fetish worship. Through their traditional chief the people asked us if our God could protect them from sorcerers, evil forces, and the curse of Allah if they decided to become Christians. They asked us to show them the power of God. We told them to look to the heavens, see the sun and moon and stars that God had hung in the sky. But they wanted tangible evidence.
That night as we presented our discussion, it began to rain hard. This is rare in the desert of Mali, and the people became frightened and fled to their homes. Had God already begun to show His power?
That night I woke up feeling something cold on my thigh. I touched it and immediately realized that it was a snake! If it was poisonous and it bit me, I could die. I cried out to God to deliver me from this snake, then slowly I began to move, careful to not trap the snake in my trousers.
The snake slithered down my trouser leg and onto the floor. I found a flashlight and aimed it at the snake. It lay on the floor unmoving, as if it was paralyzed. I recognized it as a worofi, one of the deadliest snakes in Africa. One strike would have killed me. I reached for the box in which I store my picture roll and struck the snake, killing it.
Word spread through the town that the Adventist pastor had awakened to find a worofi in his trousers and survived. Villagers came to the house to see for themselves the snake that could not kill me. "Pastor," they said, "the worofi did not kill you. What a powerful God you have that can protect you from the worofi. Surely He can protect us against evil powers if we become Christians."
By that evening the story had spread to every home in the region. The meeting place was packed with people. I told them the story of how Paul was saved from the bite of a serpent while on the island of Malta.
As a result of my encounter with the deadly worofi, seven people gave their lives to God and were baptized. Many others are preparing for baptism. Even the traditional chief, a strong Muslim, accepted a Bible and is studying the Voice of Hope Bible course.
Pray for the people of Mali. It is not easy to become a Christian here.

Mauer feels fine after catching five innings
Twins catcher goes 0-for-2 as AL falls to NL in All-Star Game
By David Venn / MLB.com
The National League defeated the American League, 3-1, the first defeat for the Junior Circuit since 1996.
Mauer lined to center in his first at-bat in the second inning off National League starter Ubaldo Jimenez, but right at Andre Ethier. To many, it seemed like a microcosm of Mauer's 2010 season, where he has seemingly hitting the ball well but is having a subpar year numbers-wise with a .293 average, four home runs and 35 RBIs.
"A little bit, yeah," he said. "It's funny, actually [Tigers slugger Miguel] Cabrera told me that, too. I put pretty good wood on it."
In his second at-bat, in the fifth inning with Evan Longoria at first base and none out, Mauer grounded to the pitcher's mound, where Hong-Chih Kuo fielded but threw wildly to first, well over Adrian Gonzalez's head. On the play, Longoria advanced to third and Mauer to second. After Robinson Cano drove in Longoria with a sacrifice fly, Mauer was erased trying to advance to third on a fielder's choice when Carl Crawford grounded to short and Hanley Ramirez threw to third baseman Scott Rolen.
Defensively, Mauer caught five scoreless innings, working with starter David Price, Andy Pettitte, Cliff Lee and Justin Verlander. Mauer was 0-for-1 throwing out runners in steal attempts, as David Wright swiped second in the fifth inning with Verlander on the mound.
"It's tough, because you have guys you're not familiar with and they have great movement in those shadows," said Mauer, referring to the sun setting with a 5 p.m. PT start time. "So when runners come on, it can be nerve-racking, but you do the best you can."
There had been some question of how long AL manager Joe Girardi would leave Mauer in the game, since the Twins' catcher has been battling a sore shoulder and nagging heel injuries. So even though the squad only carried two catchers, it was hardly surprising when Mauer was lifted after the fifth.
"I feel pretty good," he said after leaving the clubhouse at Angel Stadium. "The adrenaline kicks in and you feel like you can do anything. So I felt good today and I'll rest [Wednesday] and get back to work."
This was Mauer's fourth All-Star Game and third consecutive starting assignment. It certainly doesn't seem to be getting monotonous for the 27-year-old.
"It feels like you're starting to get loose and warmed up, but it's fun being at the All-Star Game," Mauer said. "It's a good time. Every time I come, it's a great experience. L.A. did a great job.
"It's different. You have to remember to get loose and get your body ready. There are a lot of things going on."
Since appearing in his first Midsummer Classic in 2006, he is 2-for-8 in All-Star Games, with one RBI and one run scored.

People Spelling Variations
People Spelling Variations
Huguenot surnames were only slightly Anglicized, and they remain to this day a distinct group of surnames in England. Nevertheless, Huguenot surnames have been subject to numerous spelling alterations since the names emerged in France. French surnames have a variety of spelling variations because the French language has changed drastically over the centuries. French was developed from the vernacular Latin of the Roman Empire. It is divided into three historic and linguistic periods: Old French, which developed before the 14th century; Middle French, which was used between the 14th and 16th centuries; and Modern French, which was used after the 16th century and continues to be in use today. In all of these periods, the French language was heavily influenced by other languages. For example, Old French was infused with Germanic words and sounds when the barbarian tribes invaded and settled in France after the fall of the Roman Empire. Middle French also borrowed heavily from the Italian language during the Renaissance. Huguenot names have numerous variations. The name may be spelled Pepys, Pippin, Pippy, Pepin and others.

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.

"The sad truth is, Ryan's situation is not unique," she said. "Countless Scouts have been removed from Scouting, simply for being honest with themselves and other Scouts."
Did he not read the scout oath and bylaws before signing up? Or, is he just 'special' and the rules shouldn't apply to him? His pursuit is fruitless......I'm sure his (Word removed by Pleasanton Weekly Online staff) mom is enjoying all this attention she's bringing to herself and her son.

Oh Mrs. Mittens, The OATH doesn't say a Scout must not be gay. Morally straight has a quite different meaning.
Scout Oath (or Promise)
On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
Scout Law
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly,
courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty,
brave, clean, and reverent.

How so? Are you saying that PBS can't survive without it's govt subsidy? Even though PBS leans left, they can't survive without taking taxpayer funds from all of us? If their programming is really that vaulable, donors can cotninue to support PBS and can make up for the taxpayer confiscated funds.
Why would the Boy Scouts be history when Romney is elected? Do you also believe the sea levels will rise, since obama has done such a good job taxing and regulating mother nature?

The Boy Scouts is a private organization and is not subject to pubic laws on membership. Morality and dutiful to God are godly principles. The Boy Scout Law also says to be morally straight. For those who do not know what the Bible says about morality read what it says to find out what God says about morality and duty to God.
There is nothing in the Boy Scout Law that says this young man can't start his own organization. Why try to force his own practices where they are not wanted?

If you've seen the recent news about the Boy Scouts, it sounds like there were a number of troop leaders who molested boys, so I guess they were gay too. And the organization didn't even report some of them to the police. And when they did, it was sometimes covered up to preserve the reputation of scouting.
So I'm surprised they can't handle a child who is gay and who has earned his award.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood

The media continues to lead the charge against the Boy Scouts, without reporting the full details. The gay issue & Scouting has been widely known - particularly in the Bay Area - since the 1970's. What level of responsibility does his parents have, since they placed him in Scouting 12 years ago, and continued him in the program as he grew up. It is tragic that the Scouts have documented files on some 1,200 possible sexual misconducts by Scout leaders over the past 50 years. However, given the milions of adult Scouting leaders in the past 50 years, these 1,200 cases represent less than .002% of Scouting's leaders. Sexual misconduct cases in the general population and in many other youth organizations is much greater than Scouting's .002% rate. Additionally, the media does not point out that in 1957 youth serving organizations did not have massive computer services to report and track sex offenders. Scouting's Child Protection programs are cited by experts as being the best in America. While it's tragic that any adults prey on children, we will not see real statistics or a balanced story in the local media!

Shame on the boy scouts! What a bunch of homophobics!

The Boy Scout organization promotes certain well-founded and Biblical morals. These include not engaging in homosexual activities, and the prohibition applies to both scouts and their leaders. This person chooses not to follow these standards. He needs to find a different organization to be part of. He is also free to seek help in changing both his behavior and his mental orientation toward these activities. The choice is his.

If anyone is free of faults, sin or misconduct pick up your stone and go at it, but don't be surprised if you find a stone on your head as well.
No one is saying the Boy Scouts is perfect or that there weren't misconducts, abuse etc. NOT everyone in the Boy Scouts is a homophobic, a child molester or what ever you think they might be. Many, many boys and men have lived up to the standards that have been induced to give american boys a place to belong, to learn, to have a brotherhood and a respect for others, their country and their God, not some "higher power".
If anyone does not like what the Boy Scouts do, or believe, create your own organization. No one is forced to follow their standards, its a membership.
Live in peace with your choices and with other people's choices to choose what they believe in or not.

I'm a non-LGBT Eagle Scout, and no one, neither leader nor fellow scout, ever bothered me during my time in the organization. I guess everyone concerned was focused on the content of the organization when we were together - learning the skills that earned you the merit badges, hiking and camping, volunteer work on Saturdays - rather than on what we did when we weren't together.
I feel the Scouts should be non-exclusive because race, religion, creed, gender and orientation have nothing to do with finding north without a compass, making a fire without matches, saving a drowning swimmer or delivering hot meals to the homeless. On the other hand, I don't think that every organization necessarily has to be involved in every cause. I hope the kid gets Eagle because he earned it; but if the kid and his mom orchestrated this as a test case, I feel sorry for the principles because the spotlight is one of society's least loyal inventions.

I appreciate your comments Mike but the young man lied about who he is and it is breach of the pledge he stated while in Scouts regarding honesty. It's like giving an A on the test to a cheater. This young man may have passed all his tests but he failed having integrity which is the highest of strengths a man can have. I hope he learns from all of this and not just try to strong arm the Boy Scouts. Where would the integrity be in that?

Being gay doesn't mean you're void of integrity. There are plenty of
Heterosexual human beings that lack integrity, so your comment
is asinine.
Lots of gay people do not realize they were born gay until later in life, so
this guy and his parents probably didn't know he was gay
when they signed him up to be a Boy Scout, 12 years ago.
If he earned his award he should be given it and not treated
unfairly because of his sexual orientation. His sexual orientation is not anyone's business and unless you're God you should not pass judgment on other human beings.

A person does not choose to be gay and should not be made to feel ashamed for who they were born to be. Ryan has earned his Eagle and deserves his award. It is sad that people who are otherwise good people are so ignorant and cruel. I signed the petition.

lisa and julie obviously know nothing of the boy scout organization. you merely see a poor, persecuted gay and hop on the bandwagon. yes, the boy did the required tasks to earn his eagle scout award, but the greater idea is that the eagle scout is the highest honor in the boy scouts. eagle scouts serve as torch carriers of the boy scout beliefs. they simply cannot give someone who does not subscribe to their tenants this award. they want eagle scouts to represent the beliefs of the organization as a whole. it would be like the catholic church making a muslim a priest.
i applaud the boy scouts, not because they are taking a stand against gays, but because they are sticking to their beliefs, whatever they may be. you don't like those beliefs? don't join their organization.

Take the time to view the Warren Report. This report was done by the expert who reviewed all 1,200 files in detail. The media should read this report & find that in 68% of the cases, the Boy Scouts helped prosecute the sexual offenders! Over 95% of the people in these files were clearly banned from further participation in Scouting. In many instances, Scouting turned the matter over to local law enforcement, who decided whether to prosecute or not. Also of note was that many of these cases were not a male adult abusing a young man, but adults with adults (men & women) engaging in activities that Scouting did not approve of. It is sad that some Scouting volunteers and professionals failed in their duty to protect children. However, millions of Scout leaders have served admirably. Leave it to the media to focus on the few failures.
Regarding the local young man's reported 400,000 signatures in support of him being given an Eagle medal, of note is that these signatures were generated from a pro-gay website. We would be surprised if he didn't get so many signatures from this web site. Again, what role did his parents play in sending him down the Scouting trail for so many years? They knowingly drove him down a road that had clearly stated "one way" street. Also, the Scouts didn't ask him if he was gay, he and his family made it the issue.

If you don't like the bylaws of an organization.....
DON'T JOIN !!! The Boyscouts are not a new
organization that sucums to liberal ideas. They
are a cornerstone. They shall not change and they
should not. If you want to be in a gay club, go to
SanFransisco. They'll have a real big parade for you.
Straight people won't be there...you know why???.....
Because its for gay people! We don't give them a
hard time because we're not included! It's 'their' club!
My parents were Den Leaders my whole childhood.
This would have been terrible if this was an issue then.

There was a time when people justified banning blacks, Italians, Irish, Jews or woman from organizations. This year Augusta National Golf Club admitted two women as members after 80 years of banning women. We applaud our more enlightened society. Today only gay children are allowed to be banned from this 'All American' national organization.
I know Boy Scouts well, my son's were scouts, I was a den leader. It is a good organization, but this is truly shameful.

The women should make their OWN golf club!
Why should they force men to allow them?
...and I'm a woman!!!!
Men don't try to get into women's clubs.
Jeeze does everything HAVE to be inclusive????
Make your own club!!!!

Most people are NOT born gay! Many CHOOSE to be gay for different reasons. My cousin chose to become a lesbian, only AFTER her Mother had her abort and Kill the Baby she was carring from the boy she loved. She truly loved this young man. She lived with a broken heart turning to women and drugs for comfort. Finally, in her early 20's, she walked onto the freeway and ended her life. I knew my cousin and prior to obeying her Mom's wishes (and without my uncle's knowledge) she was NEVER gay. I know of many of these kind of circumstances. NOT all people are born lesbian or gay. Most aren't. What an excuse. You are swimming in Koolaid. Don't even try to justify your beliefs!

julie, "my sons were boy scouts" can mean many different things. it can mean your boys were in cub scouts for a year all the way up to your boys were eagle scouts. i tend to believe your case is closer to the former (if not exactly). in any event, guess what? the same thing would have happened back then in your troop as what's happening today. does that make you more "enlightened" that you now see the error of those ways? absolutely not. it just means your views have changed for whatever reason. so spare us your self enlightenment crap. not all of us flip flop on major social issues and thankfully, neither do the boy scouts.

The Boy Scouts of America is a wonderful organization. My father was an Eagle Scout, and my son is well on his way. Healthy organizations evolve (just like life on planet earth). It is time for Boy Scouts of America to embrace gay scouts. Some of us older people may not like change (do we ever), but it is coming, thank goodness.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood

I do not agree with the policy of the Boy Scouts, but come one, each organization has the right to set its own rules.
The catholic church for instance does not condone abortion, or gay marriage, are we supposed to force it to change its views? NO, as a former catholic who did not agree with those views, I simply quit going to church.
Same with boy scouts: if you do not agree or like their rules, do not join! It is so simple.
My neighbor's son quit boy scouts because he did not agree with some of the rules - he is not gay or atheist but did not like a group of closed minded individuals, so he quit. We no longer support boy scout fundraisers of any kind. But from that to asking boy scout to change their rules? No, if you do not like their rules, do not join, and do not support the organization.
That said, the president of the US should not support such an organization.

"I do not agree with the policy of the Boy Scouts, but come on, each organization has the right to set its own rules."
Could anyone make that argument if the ban was on only Irish boys, or only Catholic boys?
I have watched many kids grow up along side my children, some who you could see at an early age were likely gay long before sex entered into their consciousness. I absolutely believe they had no more choice than I had to have green eyes. I say that without judgment, just like most people are born right handed but some are born left handed.
I have always held this belief and I made a commitment long ago to not be anonymous on this issue.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood

Or change the rules. Rules change. This would be a good change for the scouts, and plenty of scouts think so.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Oct 21, 2012 at 6:41 pm
"Could anyone make that argument if the ban was on only Irish boys, or only Catholic boys?"
I think it is different. But if you think about it, there are organizations that give scholarships only to members of certain races (like chinese or african american), and it is their right to do so, and it does not mean they are not complying with existing laws. Are we to force them to start giving scholarships to all students who apply regardless of their race requirement? I don't think so.
Boy scouts have their rules, and like some churches, they have the right to say no to gays (just like they say no to girls - not talking about venturing). Episcopalians for instance, accept gay marriages and women ministers, something you do not see in the catholic church. Neither church is better than the other, they are simply exercising their rights to establish their own rules - Boy scouts should be no different.
Again, I oppose such backwards views but do not feel that the boy scouts should be forced to change their rules to accommodate those who disagree with them and who challenge them.
This boy's challenge of this rule reminds me of the Sandra Fluke challenge of the policy of an institution which is catholic and whose rules she knew before she decided to attend (as a woman who has liberal views on social issues, I highly disagree with Fluke's position).
"I have always held this belief and I made a commitment long ago to not be anonymous on this issue"
I know, you have always used your name for different issues and I have always admired how you do that even if it means having people criticize you (like the time about the board member who was no longer a pleasanton resident).
I am not as strong as you so I choose to remain anonymous.

I regret my Augusta analogy and 'enlightened society' was tongue in cheek.
Let's use the obvious example. If the ban was against black children 'only' there would be a moral outcry. Rightfully so, with little exception we agree as a nation that was a shameful part of our history. Private businesses can no longer get away with that kind of discrimination. This is not an emphasis on one group it is an exclusion of one group. This is a cruel level of discrimination that if excused, especially by people who say they do not support it, will not be forced to change.
I support the opportunity to post anonymously as long as the discussion is civil, it is not fun to wear a target. That previous reference was directed at another post, but thanks.

"Let's use the obvious example. If the ban was against black children 'only' there would be a moral outcry. Rightfully so, with little exception we agree as a nation that was a shameful part of our history. Private businesses can no longer get away with that kind of discrimination"
I see your point, but unfortunately, our society has not accepted gays fully. The federal government discriminates against gays (no federal benefits for same sex marriage for instance) but not against blacks or hispanics or chinese or any other race.
Thanks to Loving, we now have the legal right to interracial marriages, but we still do not have the legal right to same sex marriages.
So I think that excluding gays from an organization such as boy scouts is a right that organization has (as much as I dislike their policy). It is their right just like it is the right of the catholic church to discriminate against say women for high ranking positions (no woman can aspire to be the Pope), or against gays (an openly gay person would not be allowed to be a priest).
If we were to force the boy scouts to accept gays, where do we draw the line? Force the catholic church to allow women to be a Pope? Force other churches to accept gays as ministers? No, that should be up to each organization, imo.
I do think that the president of the US should stop his support of boy scouts, in a very public way. Then it would be up to boy scouts to either change their backwards ways or continue but without the support of the president, or governors or any government official.
I think this boy is lobbying the wrong people. He should lobby Washington to stop its support of boy scouts and he should try to change the way the federal government discriminates against gays.
Being a boy scout is not a right, and just like girls cannot be boy scouts, or a 55 year old cannot be a tenderfoot, gays are excluded. Does this mean discrimination on the basis of gender or age? No, it is just the way the boy scouts operate.

I appreciate your thoughts but apparently we were all wrong. BSA does not ban gay scouts. BSA does ban gay scouts from holding leadership positions and they ban openly homosexual Scout leaders.
2012 Presidential candidates - Barack Obama and Mitt Romney - have both renounced the BSA's policy on sexual orientation.
The BSA receives no taxpayer funds.
There are indirect benefits afforded to the BSA, such as the ability to use schools and public lands throughout the US.
I continue my advocacy for equality for persons who are gay, and support Ryan's efforts to receive his Eagle. Many past Eagle recipients have returned their awards in protest of BSA policy. Clearly Ryan sacrificed his to stand up for what he believes may support future scouts. He has shown his courage in doing so.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood

" BSA does not ban gay scouts. BSA does ban gay scouts from holding leadership positions and they ban openly homosexual Scout leaders."
And that is not that different from how some churches operate. The catholic church does not ban women from their faith but they ban women from holding high ranking positions so no woman would ever be a priest or the Pope. Is that discrimination on the basis of gender? No, just like imo, the boy scouts are not discriminating on the basis of sexual preference - they are just exercising their rights as an organization to set their own rules.
"There are indirect benefits afforded to the BSA, such as the ability to use schools and public lands throughout the US."
And that would be the best way to send a loud message to boy scouts: to discontinue that support, as was done by a NJ school:
"Golda Och Academy has announced that it will not renew its Boy Scout charter for 2013 because of the national Scouting organization's policy excluding gay and lesbian adults from leadership positions."
Web Link
" Barack Obama and Mitt Romney - have both renounced the BSA's policy on sexual orientation."
I could be wrong, but I believe Obama's signature still appears on Eagle Scouts certificates. I think that Obama and every president from here on, should refuse to sign the certificates until the BSA revises their policy. That way, if the BSA chooses to continue with their backwards policies, they would do so knowing there is no support of any kind from the president (and no signatures on the eagle scout certificates) and that if they want that support, they musst change - up to them.
"I continue my advocacy for equality for persons who are gay, and support Ryan's efforts to receive his Eagle"
That is great but I still believe the lobbying should be done at the federal level.
See, once the federal govt starts recognizing same sex marriage, giving benefits to same sex partners, I think we would see change in many organizations including BSA.
Changing BSA would not change the bigger issue: equality for same sex couples which means that gays at that point would have acquired full rights as it should be. The NY appeals court has already taken a step in the right direction (by ruling that DOMA is unconstitutional)
So I still think that the BSA have the right to have the policy they want, and the only way to bring change is to stop the support of BSA, and by making sure the federal government gives gays the full rights they deserve.
Those who agree with the BSA can continue their support and being members, just like those who agree with the catholic church continue supporting it and being a part of it. Those who don't like it can quit scouts (like my neighbor's son) or quit being catholic (like I did).

Evolution Wins Over Intelligent Design in Mock Trial in Kentucky!
Last night, October 22, 2008, in Northern Kentucky, a rather remarkable thing happened.
At Northern Kentucky University, within the shadow of the Creation Museum, in a mock trial, a jury of the entire audience overwhelmingly voted on the side of Evolution and against the teaching of Intelligent Design in the public schools.
Some had opined that it was foolish to hold such an event—that the vote would be overwhelmed by the fundangelicals, that Evolution would lose, and that this would be harmful for the future of education in Kentucky.
Well, that did not happen. The opposite happened.
The issue for the pretend trial was the case of a ninth grade teacher in the Kentucky public schools who had been fired for teaching Intelligent Design in a Kentucky classroom. She sued, alleging she had a right to teach such mythology and to get her job back. Leading trial lawyers in the Northern Kentucky area represented the parties, a real retired judge presided, and the former dean of the law school moderated a discussion.
A creation scientist testified for the teacher. Edwin Kagin, National Legal Director for American Atheists, and identified as such, testified as to his opinion that Intelligent Design is a religious, not a scientific, view and that the teaching of this religious view is prohibited by the Constitutions of the United States and of Kentucky.
The result from the clickers of the audience:
38% said the teacher should not be restored to her job.
28% said the teacher should get her job back, and be permitted to discuss Intelligent Design, but only if she agrees to made it clear that most scientists reject Intelligent Design.
31% said the teacher should get her job back without conditions.
The clear result was that a large majority accepted the teaching of Evolution over Intelligent Design and did not see Intelligent Design as a scientific view. The audience accepted the position of the Atheist witness over that of the expert who held the religious view that life was created by magic.
This victory should be noted by those who are afraid to challenge the forces of darkness in public dialogue.

Just bought a new set of tires off the internet, this will be my first time installing
them myself. It was my understanding that you are supposed to line up a marking
on the tire with where the valve is. There are no markings on these tires that I can tell, I called Bike Bandit where I ordered them from and they told me that they
could not give technical information on installing parts. I called one other place
that sells tires and was told that "OFF THE RECORD", if there is no marking on the tire, then It
doesn't matter how you mount them. These are Michelin Pilot Activ tires going on a
1992 K75RT. They are Bias ply tires. Are there markings only on radial tires?
Should I just mount them and not worry about it? Will be giving DynaBeads a try.

In a report entitled "Commercial Construction Markets are Helping to Repair U.S. Building Materials," Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has posited that commercial construction and the slowed rate of spending decline for that sector has helped the overall credit availability for construction projects.
Standard & Poor's economists are projecting a 14% increase in residential housing in 2011 over 2010, and spending on repairs and remodeling possibly increasing about 5%.
Higher material costs are a key risk for the industry, the report noted, especially if there is no improvement in the unemployment rate. "It will be harder to pass on those costs to buyers," the report stated. Infrastructure projects could help the industry, but the number of projects will vary by region, and some of it could be tied to pending legislation.
The entire report is available at globalcreditportal.com.

Facts and tips on cardio workouts
A common sentence you will hear among amateur gym-goers is "I need more cardio to lose weight!
" However, whether cardio workouts are a good weight loss solution or not depends entirely on what kind of cardio workouts you do, for how long, and at what intensity.
What is a cardio workout?
"The simplest explanation of a cardio workout would be any workout/exercise that gets your heart rate up, and keeps it elevated for a significant amount of time. Some good examples of exercises that can be considered cardio workouts are running, swimming, playing sports, circuit training, etc."
Why are cardio workouts important?
To build stamina
To boost energy
To beat stress
To lose weight
Increases blood circulation
Increases lung capacity
Improves your alertness
How much cardio should you do every day?
The American Heart Association recommends 30 minutes of cardio everyday. But you might want to talk to an expert if you have any health complications. If you're a first timer with cardio, look to starting with 20-minutes-a-day cardio workouts, and increase the duration and intensity of exercise to improve your stamina and reach your weight loss targets.
Calories burnt with common cardio activities (on an average per hour)
Aerobics: 240 calories
Cycling 16km/hr: 240 calories
Running: 780 calories
Walking: 230 calories
Swimming: 800 calories
Precautions for cardio workouts
Before you start huffing and puffing, did you know there are limits and precautions when you practice your cardio workouts? An Expert explains what you should keep in mind for cardio workouts, "Don't overdo it, especially the slow and long duration type. Good cardio training has a lot of benefits to offer, but overdoing it, which is very common, can soon lead to problems like aching knees, muscle loss, slower metabolism, etc. For most people, 10-20 minutes of intense cardio, and 25-45 minutes of low intensity cardio seems to work best without causing any overuse injuries."
How to include different workouts in cardio?
"What needs to be ensured is that cardio workout does not become boring. In HIIT the boredom factor should in itself be significantly lessened." says an Expert. "In addition, you can eradicate boredom by using a variety of machines in your workout. For example, you can switch between the treadmill, elliptical machine, and recumbent or stationary bike during one cardio workout."
How to avoid boredom for low intensity cardio workouts?
Experts suggests ways to avoid boredom and complete you cardio workout, "A multitude of other tasks can be performed simultaneously to make the workout more productive and less boring. Listening to the music, having conversations be it work, family or anything can all be carried if the low intensity cardio workout in itself is less stressful."
Experts says, "With multiple tasks to keep one busy a good 45 mins can be clocked in before even realising it. I personally prefer reading the papers or some magazines on my recumbent bike. Sometimes I might even make a few calls, we can watch our favourite cricket match as we clock in minutes on the treadmill or go for a walk with friends. This is a great way to incorporate training as a lifestyle and maintain it."
The secret to perfect cardio workouts
An expert explains how to go about shifting the velocity of exercise. "High intensity cardio need not be sustained for the full duration of the workout which should not be extended beyond 15-20 minutes. High intensity periods will be punctuated with moderate intensity periods throughout the workout."
When you jump to low intensity cardio workouts, he says "You will want to spend a minute or two getting warmed up by working at a low intensity pace. Once you feel thoroughly warmed up you should increase the intensity of cardio to about 80% of your maximum heart rate for about 30 seconds before returning to a moderate to low pace for about a minute."
Cardio workouts and weight loss
"Let's make a few things clear...NO amount of cardio workout or weight training is going to help you burn fat if you consume more calories than you burn. The basic formula is that energy output must exceed energy input." A point to note!
There are two basic styles of cardiovascular training
1. Low intensity steady
2. High Intensity Interval
Low intensity cardio:
"Cardio vascular training (cycling, walking, swimming) at low intensity (below 60-70% of your heart rate) provides most calories for energy from our fat reserves. Since it is rather low in intensity it can be sustained for longer duration. It is easier to perform, less stressful on joints and more conducive to lesser trained individuals."
High intensity interval:
"High Intensity Interval training has of late gained prominence among fitness enthusiasts who believe there as to be a blend of high intensity and low intensity training to create a post workout fat burning effect" Jivesh goes on to explain this point "Obviously since individuals will perform at intensity close to 80-90% of the max heart rate. It will be difficult to sustain this training for longer duration and there will/should be a brief period of low intensity training in between."
"Training in this style will keep the net duration much shorter and create a demand for continuous calorie output thereafter. Truly speaking this is nothing but an offshoot of how most strength athletes perform their weight training regime. Most classical weight training programmes involves performing straight sets where after an intense set the trainee takes an absolute rest for a few minutes to go and perform and all out intense next set."
How to avoid overtraining
"Many researchers have now incorporated this style of HIIT into cardiovascular training pitching it as superior in burning fat. However it must be taken into consideration that most such trainees unlike strength athletes do not have that degree of muscle mass to create a post training fat burn effect, cause it is these muscles that demand a continuous supply of calories".
"On the contrary it may eat into precious muscle tissue if their diets are not optimal. Moreover most strength athletes who already train in HIIT with weights would not be too keen on performing another HIIT cardiovascular workout as it may cause overtraining."
Cardiovascular strength training
"Traditionally, we are told that certain exercises like jogging, walking, swimming, etc are forms of cardiovascular training, and exercises like push ups, squats, lunges, etc are strength training exercises. Cardiovascular strength training refers to doing your cardio workout by using strength training exercises instead of the traditional cardio exercises. For eg instead of doing a regular cardio workout like jogging for half an hour, you could do 10 minutes circuit training, where you use traditional strength training exercises. This type of training happens to be far more intense than regular cardio."
What are the advantages of a cardio strength training workout
Unlike regular cardio this form of training does not cause muscle loss. Not losing muscle is priceless when trying to drop bodyfat, as muscle loss slows down metabolism and makes further fat loss difficult. Besides better results, this form of training also happens to be very time efficient as such workouts generally last between 5-15 minutes. In this time frame a trainee goes through a very intense workout which ensures that he does not have to spend too much time doing it. Most people who do it find it to be a much more fun alternative compared to old cardio workouts which are more repetitive and can be boring.
Are there any limitations to this style of training?
While most trainees out there can certainly do this form of training, it might not be ideal for beginners and those who are extremely deconditioned. For eg, if someone struggles to climb two storeys of stairs, then this form of training might be too intense for them. In this case traditional cardio may be better to begin with. As their fitness improves, such individuals can later on attempt the intense cardio version.
Cardio mistakes to avoid
"I'm bored and I couldn't care less about sitting up straight on the exercise cycle."Sitting up straight on the exercise cycle enables you to engage your core and preserve your abdominal strength, especially back muscles, when cycling at high speeds or against greater resistance. Hunching will lead to lower back aches and you'll find that you aren't really taxing yourself if your stance is hunched and slow.
"Cross ramp elevation and resistance on the elliptical? What's that?" The elliptical is meant to be a cross training cardio workout. If you'd like to maintain a slow to moderate pace, then increase the ramp's elevation or angle (it could be at a decline) to challenge more muscles in your lower body. Then increase resistance in order to work your muscles even more. At least one of these three must challenge you on the elliptical - speed, resistance, cross ramp angle.
"What running technique? We all ran as kids, right?" Right. But we didn't really run for speed, fitness, agility and most importantly - to avoid workout injuries. When running, most people tend to land on their heels. This, over time, will injure your ankles, shins and knees. Do your feet a favour and learn how to land on the balls of your feet. This adds momentum and makes your jog or run that much more challenging.
"Cycling is just about peddling, and the resistance bit is hyped and hard." If you're cycling out on the roads and regularly, at that, then yes - it is about peddling and maintaining speed. But by using the gym exercise cycle, you're already at a disadvantage - it's a lot easier on your muscles and cardio strength. So challenge yourself, and increase the cycle's resistance. Or select a programme that gives you hills and valleys and makes the cycling session tougher.
Cardio workouts differs from person-to-person
"Finally," "a workout is an individual preference as there are many factors to be taken into consideration-age, conditioning, goals, time constraints, diet, medical condition etc. A training style that cannot be participated in with enthusiasm will eventually be skipped all together. Hence be it low intensity, moderate or high intensity the important factor to remember here is that what matters most is the energy output must consistently exceed energy input."

Langley FCU Leads District in SBA Loan Volume
For its Small Business Administration lending efforts, Langley Federal Credit Union said it was recently named the top credit union in loan production for its district.
The $1.8 billion cooperative in Newport News, Va., said its total SBA loan volume was $1.35 million for the SBA fiscal year that ended Sept. 30.
That figure pushed Langley to the top of the agency's loan production ranking from the SBA's district office in Richmond, Va. The district spans from Virginia Beach/Chesapeake to the borders of Prince William County.
Langley, which has been offering SBA loans since 2008, was also ranked 12th overall among all SBA lenders in the Richmond district region, the credit union said.
"Credit unions play an important role in SBA and small business lending," said Jayne Armstrong, director of the SBA Richmond district office. "Thanks to this critical partnership, small business owners have more access to a wide range of financing options than ever before."
Langley's business lending staff has worked extremely hard to increase its SBA loan volume, said LFCU Vice President of Business Lending Natasha Merz.
"It's great to see our hard work and persistence pay off with the recognition from the Richmond District Office of the SBA," Merz said. "We realize the importance of small businesses and will continue our support in the upcoming year."

/PRNewswire/ -- Cohera Medical, Inc.®, a leading innovator and developer of absorbable surgical adhesives and sealants, has announced that it has received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for the first of four modules of the Company's PMA filing plan for its TissuGlu® Surgical Adhesive product. Earlier this year, the Company received approval of its modular approach to filing the PMA from the FDA, and submitted the first module pursuant to this plan.
The first module contained the pre-clinical testing profile for TissuGlu including extensive biocompatibility and toxicological testing information. The Company expects to file the second module containing information related to the characterization and specifications of TissuGlu before the end of the year, and the remaining two modules describing the manufacturing, quality system and clinical study information in 2013.
"We are pleased to receive FDA approval for the first module of the PMA in which the biocompatibility and pre-clinical testing profile of TissuGlu is acceptable," said Chad Coberly, JD Vice President of Clinical, Regulatory and Legal affairs of Cohera Medical. "We appreciate the professional and interactive review by the FDA for this module and look forward to working with the Agency on the review of the future modules."
"The first module approval of the TissuGlu PMA is another significant milestone for Cohera and its investors," said Patrick Daly, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cohera Medical. "The approval for this information confirms the basic safety profile of this important new product and allows the Company to proceed with its modular PMA filings on plan."
Cohera Medical recently received CE Marking approval [1] for TissuGlu and began selling [2] product to hospitals and surgeons in Germany in September 2011. The Company plans to expand the commercial availability of TissuGlu in 2012.

The pea, radish, lettuce, and quinoa sprouts have emerged in my new backyard garden, outracing the chervil, cilantro, carrot, and chard seeds—and Wayde Lawler, my new-found Hyperlocavore buddy, is responsible for all this.
Wayde and I found each other via Hyperlocavore, a website that matches landless gardeners with land hosts. Wayde is a horticulture student at Merritt College in Oakland, CA; I'm a hobby gardener. For the past two years, I've ceded my small backyard to the resident deer, and settled for a 15-gallon tub on the deck with a pair of cherry tomatoes and some climbing green beans.
My inspiration for signing up with Hyperlocavore came from a February 21, 2010 presentation put on by Transition Albany, a local group trying to make Albany, Ca. more self-sufficient. The presentation included the movie HomeGrown, which documents a family in Pasadena, Ca. that–incredibly—grows three tons of food annually on 1/5th of an acre of urban land. Afterward, Novella Carpenter, author of Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer, spoke about her garden on squatted land in Oakland, Ca. where her neighbors are welcome to come pick what they need. I don't intend to raise a ton of food on my not quite 1/10th of an acre parcel, but if someone else were to take the lead, I thought we might have some fun installing a garden together.
The serendipity gods were surely hovering when I posted my Hyperlocavore request. Wayde Lawler was the only person looking for a North Berkeley site on that day; the following Sunday we met in my weedy backyard to look at the available space and my incomplete effort at a deer-proof fence. On Thursday, Wayde arrived with a borrowed pick-up and a cubic yard of planting soil. He whacked my weeds and planned the beds and we both schlepped buckets. By the end of the day, we had garden beds topped with partly-decomposed straw mulch occupying a 12 by 14 foot space.
I like Wayde. In the month since, we've strengthened and completed the bamboo-lattice deer fence, begun planting, and begun to know each other. Aside from his ability to envision an idea, figure out a way to accomplish it, and follow through, I like his Midwestern low-key politeness. I liked meeting his wife, Taryn, and sharing returned Peace Corps volunteer reminiscences on the day that we sowed "goosefoot" (that is, plants like spinach, chard, and beet from the Chenopodiaceae family) seeds. I enjoyed having Wayde as our waiter when my housemate and I visited the restaurant where he worked, and I appreciate his stop-in for a first time experience at my community acupuncture clinic.
Although we haven't any formal agreement for sharing either the garden or its produce, I am not worried. So far, it has evolved that I provide land, water, and some labor—and Wayde provides expertise, labor, and inspiration. He brings his own tools although he is welcome to use mine, and he has paid for soil, plants, and seeds while I've bought a couple lunches. From what I can tell, we both feel we are gaining more than we are giving.
My Hyperlocavore experience to date has been entirely positive. But I can imagine scenarios where, as with any human interaction, it could have been sour. I'm glad that I had the courage to try something new. I'm glad to know Wayde and Taryn. And I'm looking forward to a summer of gardening—while shrinking my carbon footprint.

We were ranked number one in the state right at the beginning, and yet, we still feel like we've been under the radar and everybody keeps thinking, so and so is going to knock us off at any point. Our kids feel like they have something to prove. —Bingham head coach Dave Peck
SALT LAKE CITY — The conditions for a great football game don't get much better than the 5A state championship matchup between second-ranked Brighton and top-ranked Bingham.
While both rosters are loaded with talent, the head coaches said their players feel they need to make statements this Friday at 2:30 p.m. at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
"We were ranked number one in the state right at the beginning, and yet, we still feel like we've been under the radar and everybody keeps thinking, so and so is going to knock us off at any point," said Bingham head coach Dave Peck. "Our kids feel like they have something to prove."
It may seem odd that the undefeated Miners feel like underdogs against a team they beat 38-27 in a non-region game on Oct. 4.
But Peck said that's exactly how they feel.
"We have some humble kids," Peck said. "Clear back in spring, we were talking about being a program that shows up every single day. We go as hard as we can, we're going to sell out and play for each other. Then, on Friday nights, that's just who we are, what we're about and how we do things."
Peck said his players also feel that they are overlooked by scouts and, to some degree, the media, when it comes to just how talented they are. Only two of Bingham's players have scholarship offers, while Brighton junior running back and linebacker Osa Masina is one of the state's most sought after recruits.
"They want to prove that Scott Nichols is the best running back in the state," he said. "Well, what's the best way to do that?"
Peck makes it clear that both he and his players respect Masina's talent, as well as the Bengal offensive line. They just want to show they have some talent of their own.
"For us, to go out and have the best game we can have, and stop their offense, well, that's the way to show that our players, you know, they're pretty darn good too."
Brighton's motivation is a little different than Bingham's in that it lost the first meeting between these two teams.
"The reason we didn't play good is because they're good and they made us look bad," said Brighton head coach Ryan Bullett. "But my kids said afterward, 'Coach, we can play better football.' Obviously, I think we're peaking at the right time."
While Bingham's defense held Masina to 53 yards and a single touchdown, Nichols rushed for 207 yards and three touchdowns.
"We're doing some things better," Bullett said. "Our quarterback (Robbie Hutchins), that was only his second full game, so obviously, he's playing a lot better. He's a lot more comfortable and confident."
In that game, Hutchins threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns, but he did throw one interception. But Miners quarterback Kyle Gearig only managed 75 yards against the Bengal defense and one touchdown.
"Obviously, we know who we're playing, and our kids have played them, and that's a good thing that we have going for us," Bullett said. "Even though it wasn't a positive, we took a lot of positives out of it. We just have to correct some things. We made a lot of mistakes. Hopefully we'll have a better outcome this time around." One key, Bullett said, to having more success against the Miners is the Bengals' ability to throw the football.
"I think we need to do two things," he said. "We need to throw the ball well, and we need to hold onto the ball. Because of their offense, they're scoring in the 40s every game. We need to try to keep them off the field. That's part of our goal, to keep them off the field." Regardless of the psychology of each coach's approach, both teams are capable of winning this year's state title. It could be a low-scoring defensive struggle or a high-scoring shoot-out.
Either way, both Peck and Bullett agree that it will be enjoyable for those involved and those who take the time to watch.
"Just playing for a state championship is a huge motivation," Peck said. "These kids have worked hard and they've been focused."
And Bullett's final thought, "You never want to back door anything. You want to play the best team to get that championship. And right now, until someone proves otherwise (Bingham) is the best team. But our kids need to believe and they do believe. ... It should be exciting."

But hope persists that we can blunt the worst impacts, if not slow down the warming
Granted, it's been a relatively cool summer in many parts of California. But state officials are saying, "Don't get used to it." How would you like to see the number of "extremely hot" days (105 or hotter) in Sacramento increase fivefold in the next few decades? That's just one of many new projections from the state's latest official climate assessment.
One hundred-twenty scientists worked on the report, entitled California's Changing Climate (PDF). Funded by the California Energy Commission, it's actually a portfolio of studies and contains some of the most specific warnings we've seen. For instance, it projects that going forward, average temperatures in the state will warm at three times last century's pace. It'll mean heat waves happening more often and lasting longer.

DETROIT - Federal prosecutors are recommending prison for the father of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
Bernard Kilpatrick was convicted of a single tax crime by the same jury that convicted his son and contractor Bobby Ferguson of more serious crimes. The government is asking for a sentence Thursday of somewhere from 27 to 33 months.
Bernard Kilpatrick was charged with racketeering conspiracy, but the jury couldn't reach a verdict. He was acquitted of attempted extortion.
Nonetheless, the government says there's evidence to show the 72-year-old Bernard Kilpatrick worked closely with Kwame Kilpatrick to strong-arm people who wanted city work.
The government says Bernard made cash deposits of $605,000 during that period. Kilpatrick's lawyer says he was a legitimate consultant.
Kilpatrick has kept a low profile since the verdict was handed down. Local 4 was told he has been spending time with Kwame's wife and children in Texas.
He will soon make his way back into court. Bernard Kilpatrick, like his son and Bobby Ferguson, will have a chance to address the court.
It's unclear is Bernard will offer up an apology like the other men did.
Kwame Kilpatrick was sentenced to 28 years in prison and his pal Bobby Ferguson received 21 years in prison last week.

Escondido has started hiring police officers to fill a rash of vacancies that have been blamed on pay reductions during the recession and pension cuts last year.
The Police Department has 149 officers, down from 170 before the recession. Department statistics show that crime increased in Escondido last year after several years of steady decline.
City Manager Clay Phillips said this week that three officers have been hired, three more are in the Police Academy, and the city began accepting applications for three additional spots last week.
"We need to make sure we have enough people, and I think we're on the right track now," Phillips said.
The nine hires will bring the number of officers to 158, a total that has been considered full staffing since the City Council froze 12 positions during the economic collapse four years ago.
Mike Garcia, president of the labor union representing Escondido police officers, said he was pleased to see the city placing a higher priority on filling the vacancies.
"We're understaffed — there's no way around that," Garcia said. "From our perspective, it's a huge problem that needs to be dealt with."
But Garcia said the problem can't be solved quickly. He said the number of vacancies is probably closer to 25 than 21 because of officers on leave and upcoming retirements.
And he said it's more difficult for Escondido to quickly fill vacancies because the department's relatively low pay and pensions make it nearly impossible to attract veteran officers from other departments.
Consequently, the new hires must spend four months in the Police Academy to get trained. Meanwhile, other officers retire or leave for other departments, Garcia said.
Typical annual pay, including all compensation and benefits, for an Escondido police officer was between $80,000 and $95,000 in 2010, among the lowest in the county. And Escondido was the only city in the region to eliminate "step" increases, or automatic pay hikes based on years of service, during the recession.
About a dozen officers have transferred from Escondido to other law enforcement agencies in recent years because of pay, while hardly any officers have transferred from other agencies to Escondido, he said.
"The department is going to have to be continually hiring officers for three to five years to catch up," Garcia said.
And Garcia said it typically takes two years for a new officer to become fully effective because of all the training required.
Councilwoman Olga Diaz, whose husband is an Escondido police lieutenant, said the city should have been more aggressive about filling the vacancies.
"We could have gone faster and tried harder," she said.
Diaz also said hiring rookie officers could backfire if the city isn't picky enough.
"Hiring the wrong officer can become an expensive lawsuit later," she said.
Mayor Sam Abed said the city is doing the right thing now that it is recovering from the recession.
"These hires will bring us to full staffing," he said. "Public safety is our No. 1 priority."
Garcia said he understood that the city has had other priorities since finances began to strongly rebound last year thanks primarily to surging sales tax.
Those have included restoring Friday service at City Hall, which happened in late January, and hiring staff for the Del Dios Road fire station, which began in December.
"It was the right move to prioritize fire because that station needed to be staffed," Garcia said. "We're not trying to pick a fight with the city. We've been working hard to strengthen our relationships with City Hall."
Garcia, who was recently re-elected to a second one-year term as union president, said he'd like to see the council restore the number of police officers to 170.
Phillips, the city manager, said he might recommend that the council consider making such a move during budget hearings this spring.
But Phillips said the city still has many competing financial priorities. And he also said the total number of officers isn't always as important as how they're deployed, adding that he believes bike patrols and creative policing can help as much as extra officers.

text: I admire the showrunners' commitment to 2036 Fringe as a concrete future for the whole season to explore instead of a what if episode to be glimpsed at for one episode like The Day We Died. I'm liking the Etta character. She's as much of a badass as her parents. I find Peter and Olivia's relationship with her sweet. But I fear it's just a matter of time until Etta finds out about Olivia not searching for her like Peter was when she was a kid. My heart breaks at how that is going to go down between mother and daughter. I don't see the search for the tapes lasting all season. Maybe half a season or a little more than that. I really want to know what happened to September. Is he dead? Is he in limbo or in hiding? I really miss the guy. What about you other Fringe watchers? What do you all think of Season 5 so far? Loving it or hating it?

The Cubs struck out a grand total of 13 times today, that comes on the heels of 12 strikeouts last night, and 12 strikeouts in game one, that's not very good. The result was the same for all three games, a loss, as the Brewers finished off the sweep this afternoon with a 3-2 victory. Travis Wood started for the Cubs and pitched well enough to win, unfortunately he finished the day with his 10th defeat of the season. Wood tossed seven strong innings giving up three runs on six hits while walking one and striking out six. The Brewers had seven hits on the day, five of them went for extra bases, that doesn't usually bode well. Hard to score runs when you don't put the ball in play and as I mentioned, the Cubs didn't do nearly enough of that again today. They only managed five hits in the loss, this coming after only four hits the night before. Bryan LaHair, yes that Bryan LaHair, launched his first home run since July 4th to bring the Cubs within one in the seventh, but that was as close as they would get. The Cubs will have tomorrow off to lick their wounds as they head home to start a weekend series against Colorado on Friday.
Game Highlights:
DeJesus' Lead-Off HR
LaHair's Home Run
Thanks for reading,

Yeah, announcements of announcements are inherently lame. Like, just announce what you want to announce already?
But, with bands of a certain stature, the announcement of the announcement has become a part of the tradition. So, the Foo Fighters posting on Facebook that Monday will see big news is just part of the game. So let's play!
At this point, we know Foo Fighters have a new album coming. It is expected in November, in fact. We also know that there will be an HBO series chronicling the creation of their 8th studio LP, and it will make its premiere on October 17, titled Sonic Highways.
The most obvious speculation for what will be announced will be the album title and release date. But, it could also be a fall tour. The release timeframe would also make sense with corresponding radio station Christmas events, but those announcements usually come way later.
