Old money welcomes new (tech) blood to the arts
A century ago, the names of the founders and backers of many of San Francisco's fine arts organizations would have turned up in the Social Register - creators of old-money fortunes such as denim baron Levi Strauss, sugar baron Adolph Spreckels, railroad baron Charles Crocker, and, in more recent generations, oil heir Gordon Getty and Gap founder Don Fisher, among others.
But to find today's high-flying humanitarians, one must turn from the pages of a book and look to the cloud.
The face of San Francisco society is changing as the old guard gives way to a new watch whose fortunes are built on technology, social media and digital entrepreneurism, from Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, 48, to Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, 38, to Facebook exec-turned-venture capitalist Matt Cohler, 36.
Despite the long-held belief that techies don't know how to be charitable - having grown up without wealth and a tradition of giving - or prefer causes like education with measurable (or self-serving) results, the digerati are popping up in increasing numbers on civic and cultural boards in San Francisco. For proof, look no further than the San Francisco Opera, where in one fell swoop, not just one or two but seven high-profile Silicon Valley professionals were elected to the board (or 8.6 percent of the 81 members in total), Opera officials announced last month.
"With every generation, there is a natural passing of the baton, and I think we are seeing it now," said Trevor Traina, 40, who bridges the worlds as a member of an old money family (and who co-created the Fine Arts Museums Mid-Winter Gala to recruit young donors) and as an entrepreneur with several startups under his belt. "Tech entrepreneurs bring more than affluence to the party. They're extremely comfortable asking tough questions, reaching for major challenges and overcoming obstacles. They're unafraid and accustomed to thinking big."
Silicon Valley has had plenty of opportunity to step up to the plate, and many boards across the region have been dotted with tech leaders and venture capitalists throughout the decades. But a critical mass has developed only recently, and it is lending youth to boards across town, where members in their 70s, 80s and 90s are a common sight.
"I have long championed the idea that to be a better for-profit executive, one should serve on a nonprofit board. It has been hard to get tech people to do so, as how we work in the tech world is all-consuming," said Rusty Rueff, 51, the former CEO of online music and file-sharing site Snocap, who from 2003 to 2013 served on the board of the American Conservatory Theater. ACT is refurbishing the Strand Theater in the Mid-Market area, cheek-by-jowl with Twitter and other tech companies, in hopes of creating new cultural life and arts supporters in the city.
"Venture capitalists aren't all that interested in having their founders and teams spending time outside of the business until the business is established and into a later stage," Rueff said.
One explanation for the new participation is that the scions of Silicon Valley are maturing in age - and in their ability to focus on something other than the next big business idea. Case in point: Benioff's donation, with his wife, Lynne Benioff, of more than $100 million toward the creation of a $1.5 billion UCSF Medical Center in Mission Bay.
Another explanation is more elementary: Techies just needed to be asked.
New Jersey native Ben Nelson, 38, former Snapfish CEO and founder of Minerva University, has enjoyed the arts since childhood, thanks to an uncle who took him to performances at New York's Lincoln Center. In his 20s in Silicon Valley, Nelson attended the San Francisco Opera, which he considers among the world's finest, and donated about $2,000 a year - a small amount that did not register on the Opera board's radar. At 29, he sold Snapfish to the Hewlett-Packard Co., and called the Opera to say he was ready to do more.
The Opera board president at the time, George Hume, asked if he might donate $10,000 more. Nelson answered that he could, but he felt a more pressing need to increase the pool of young donors who, as their careers flourished, would turn into big-money donors. So in 2007, Nelson joined the board, where the more established members sometimes mistook him for a waiter, asking him for coffee and handing him their coats. They soon learned to take his ideas seriously, such as a challenge in which older donors would contribute matching funds in a bid to get greater numbers of young people to join. From that, the Orpheus program was born. Nelson also managed to get Calibre One, the recruitment firm he uses to scout for educators for his university, to perform pro bono searches (valued at several hundred thousand dollars) for new board members within the tech community. As a result of that search, Phil Libin, 41, the CEO of the note-taking app company Evernote, whose parents were classical musicians, received an e-mail from recruiters and is among the seven new members of the board.
If techies' fortunes are appealing, so are their skill sets. As the missions of arts organizations have become more complicated, these groups require board members with expertise in real estate, law, investments, marketing and, increasingly, technology.
"When I first started at museums, in the 1980s, they were open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., but increasingly, museums have reconceived of their social missions," said Neal Benezra, the director of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, where board of trustees members include investment mogul Charles Schwab, Roselyne "Cissie" Swig, and Mayer, the Yahoo CEO. (She also sits on the board of the San Francisco Ballet.)
"We're places for people to come look at art, and that's the base upon which everything is built, but we have much more active education programs, larger marketing programs to get the word out to the world, and strong endowments that need to be managed with expertise," Benezra said.
Among the ideas that the younger set has brought to arts groups in San Francisco are a push for more contemporary art and family events at the Asian Art Museum, a balcony section at the San Francisco Symphony reserved for people who want to text, free admission for children under 18 at SFMOMA when its multimillion-dollar expansion is complete, and marketing contests to engage San Francisco Ballet audiences by asking them to tweet the plot of "Onegin" in 140 characters or fewer.
Globally renowned industrial designer Yves Béhar, 46, recently concluded a three-year artist-in-residence term on the SFMOMA board. While the museum is closed for renovations, it will mount exhibitions throughout the region, including one Béhar helped to develop called "Project Los Altos: SFMOMA in Silicon Valley." Béhar, who grew up in Switzerland and visited the great art museums of Europe as a child, said his experience "made me realize that if you don't have a great museum in your town, you probably don't have a great town," he said by e-mail. His work as a leading-edge designer of Jawbone devices and Sayl office chairs has taught him that "in the same way that we are transforming the way people live with tech, we should be supporting the artists that lead thinking and culture today."
New Opera board member Karen Richardson, 50, the former CEO of Epiphany software (whose husband is Apple iPod creator Jon Rubinstein), donated software to the Opera in 2003 to help it conduct outreach campaigns by e-mail. She likes opera's ability to combine "incredible singing, music and theater all in one art form," and because she no longer works around the clock, noting, "There came a point where I said, 'You give back,' rather than thinking solely about your career."
Ellen Magnin Newman, a San Francisco Symphony board member for 43 years, is impressed by her younger seatmates' abilities. PayPal co-founder Max Levchin, 38, "has a brain like a computer," she said. "Someone will say, 'We've had a 47 percent increase and he'll say, 'That's 2,044' without pulling out a calculator.
"They are very alert, very responsive, very active, and they know how to make decisions in a hurry" without being impulsive, she said. "They do their homework, they give thought to it, they move more quickly because they grew up in a digital world."
Cohler joined the Symphony board six years ago, influenced by his college major - music, with studies in classical composition and theory.
"I'm a very strong believer that music education is critical, not optional, in cognitive development for children," Cohler said.
He was also drawn by the Symphony's history as "an innovative, maverick organization." It was the first in the nation to have its own syndicated and sponsored radio program, "The Standard Hour," in 1926, and developed its own recording label and programs to be watched online as well as on TV's PBS.
"I'm a startup guy - that's my whole history, so that was exciting to me, in particular," Cohler said.
Former Yahoo executive Komal Shah, 43, joined the Asian Art Museum board to support an institution important for exposing second-generation Indian Americans and others to their cultural heritage, and to support the creativity so important to Silicon Valley. "Math and science are super-critical," she said, "but you need spiritual upliftment and outreach into new ideas. It's people with ideas who will move the world, like Steve Jobs."
Arts patron Harriet Quarré saw her first San Francisco Opera performance - "Aida," with Elisabeth Rethberg - as a child in 1935, and has been a board member since 1978.
She was considered an innovator in the 1980s in creating the Medallion Society, a membership group that granted participants perks such as free parking at performances, meet-and-greets with the orchestra, and backstage tours. Quarré is eager to see what the incoming board members will offer at their first official meeting on Sept. 19.
"I hope they learn to enjoy opera from the heart," she said. "We'll see what changes there will be, because I'm sure there will be some."

I just started learning about parametric curves and I find it confusing that we have a 3rd variable but this 3rd variable "t" is some imaginary variable....I dont get what the difference is between this parameter "t" and the good ole 3 variable functions...This gets confusing for me especially when I do area in a bounded region integration related questions because I am trying to understand what this variable "t" for parameter really means...is this just some fake number or the 3rd dimension Z?
The example below uses t as the bounds of integration but why do that? Doesn't this graph look just like you regular integration graph where you can just use the x bounds for finding the area bounded by the curve?
NOTE: this example has an error in it, where it says t= 3/2 it should be t = 2

AND so it begins...
This weekend we started our little project. There is so much to do, but we merely worked on the yard. It needed (still needs) a lot of work, but at least it is presentable for insurance purposes. We also had to clean up lumber and brick that had been deposited on the carport and back porch.
I snapped a picture when we arrived Saturday morning:
As you can see, it is a hot mess! That brick wall you see above is in fact leaning out from the house, but that is all coming down anyway for new vinyl siding.
If you think it looks rough out here, I must tell you that lumber was once the floor in the living room! Yes, there is only floor joices left in the living room. (we'll save those shocking photos for another day.)
Let us look at something nice:
Yes that is view from the house looking toward the road. There is a great pine grove across the road. Very pretty.
Okay, back to the hot mess...this is one of the little outbuildings. It is not bad and we don't know yet if we will try to repair this or start fresh. For now though, it will be like this
AND this if after day one with hard work from myself, hubby, Alex and her friend Travis.
James and I spent Sunday afternoon working more on the yard. He wanted to finish with mowing and weed eater and I worked on trying to get that pesky vine-y stuff under control that you see taking over the right corner of the house. That stuff is crazy! The root system is in the ground and it's going to take some work to get it out. I also put out tick, flea, and other pesky insect granules because rain is forecasted.
Here is the end of day 2:
Oh, and we did encounter one snake this weekend...a baby copperhead. :\ Hoping its momma has decided to take up new residence!
This is from my Instagram feed. I plan to utilize IG to help document #projecthouse2012 in real time. Feel free to follow me. I love me some Instagram!

text: Wednesday, May 09, 2012 New in the Literature: Management Patterns in Acute Low Back Pain (Spine [Phila Pa 1976]. 2012;37(9):775-782.) Patients who received physical therapy early after an episode of acute low back pain had a lower risk of subsequent medical service usage than patients who received physical therapy at later times, say authors of an article published April 20 in Spine. Medical specialty variations exist regarding early use of physical therapy, with potential underutilization among generalist specialties, they add. For this retrospective cohort study, the authors analyzed a national sample of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' physician outpatient billing claims. Patients were selected who received treatment for low back pain between 2003 and 2004 (n = 439,195). To eliminate chronic low back conditions, patients were excluded if they had a prior visit for back pain, lumbosacral injection, or lumbar surgery within the previous year. Main outcome measures were rates of lumbar surgery, lumbosacral injections, and frequent physician office visits for low back pain during the following year. Based on logistic regression analysis, the adjusted odds ratio for undergoing surgery in the group of enrollees that received physical therapy in the acute phase (<4 weeks) compared with those receiving physical therapy in the chronic phase (>3 months) was 0.38, adjusting for age, sex, diagnosis, treating physician specialty, and comorbidity. The adjusted odds ratio for receiving a lumbosacral injection in the group receiving physical therapy in the acute phase was 0.46, and the adjusted odds ratio for frequent physician office usage in the group receiving physical therapy in the acute phase was 0.47.

Spanier's Legal Team Blasts Governor Corbett
Lawyers on behalf of Graham Spanier released a poignant statement blasting Governor Corbett and calling the new charges against Spanier politically motivated and unfounded.
Here's the full statement:
Today's Presentment is the latest desperate act by Governor Tom Corbett to cover up and divert attention away from the fact that he failed to warn the Penn State community about the suspicions surrounding Jerry Sandusky, and instead knowingly allowed a child predator to roam free in Pennsylvania. Its timing speaks volumes. These charges are the work of a vindictive and politically motivated Governor working through an un-elected attorney general, Linda Kelly, whom he appointed to do his bidding and who will be a lame duck five days from now.
There is no factual basis to support these charges, which may explain why the Attorney General and her staff have steadfastly refused – for a full year – to meet with Dr. Spanier or his lawyers to discuss this matter despite repeated attempts to do so, or to accept Dr. Spanier's offer to appear before the grand jury again to clarify any misconceptions.
From late 2008 through November of 2011, as Pennsylvania's Attorney General, Tom Corbett clearly knew about the allegations against Jerry Sandusky and yet failed to act. And this failure allowed Sandusky to continue to harm children for nearly three years after he could have and should have been warned, stopped or indicted. The Governor's legally indefensible explanations, repeated by Attorney General Kelly at her news conference today – that he couldn't expose Sandusky for fear of compromising an ongoing grand jury investigation or that he needed more evidence – are patently absurd.
And so, on the one hand, Corbett had access to detailed allegations about Sandusky's child abuse and, as the chief law enforcement officer for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, allowed it to continue. On the other, Dr. Spanier was not privy to any details about a 1998 investigation that actually exonerated Sandusky and then, in 2001, was told only about an incident characterized as "horseplay".
Governor Corbett has made no secret of his personal hostility toward Dr. Spanier, as many witnesses will attest. He is now manipulating public officials and resources to settle a personal score.
Linda Kelly's willingness to continue this farce, on behalf of the politically motivated Governor who appointed her, apparently knows no bounds. She has already been put on notice by both candidates for Attorney General, one of whom will replace her, that they intend to review her investigation thoroughly. For her to deny, as she did a few minutes ago, that politics played no role in these charges being made five days before an election, is patently false.
Graham Spanier has committed no crime and looks forward to the opportunity to clear his good name and well-earned national reputation for integrity. This Presentment is a politically motivated frame-up of an innocent man. And if these charges ever come to trial, we will prove it.
The people of this Commonwealth, and the next Attorney General, should be outraged by this blatantly political, transparently vindictive, last-minute act of cowardice and desperation.
(Update Nov. 2, 2:16 a.m.): Governor Corbett responded yesterday in a two sentence statement that got right to the point:
Graham Spanier's statement is the ranting of a man who has just been indicted for covering up for a convicted pedophile. His arrogance reveals a man who has just found out that he is not above the law after all.

West Quadrant Charrette Re-Cap
The West Quadrant Charrette wrapped up last week and the event was well-attended and produced some exciting ideas. From June 10-14 around 100 attendees and the project team worked together to produce and refine subarea concepts, policy diagrams, quadrant-wide concepts and brainstorm implementation actions. There were also two open houses during the week. The closing open house on Friday, June 14 included an overview of the week's drawings as well as some big ideas and directions. West Quadrant project manager Karl Lisle presented the West Quadrant Charrette Final Presentation. One of the charrette consultants, Martin Glastra Van Loon from OTAK presented some key takeaways, including:
- Think long-term, regardless of current entitlements.
- Consider how people will move and get around in the future and balance the transportation modes.
- Re-envision the downtown waterfront and Naito and start to the think of it as an extension of the neighborhoods; bring the park into the city and the city to the park .
- Think in big bubbles and simple ideas that are easily conveyed.
- People must be essential in the plan/design.
The results from the West Quadrant Charrette will be presented and discussed at the next Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) Meeting #5 on July 15. After this meeting and over the summer the project team will generate a draft West Quadrant Plan concept with some alternatives and present it at SAC Meeting #6 on September 16. It is anticipated the SAC will spend several meetings refining the concept prior to moving into the draft plan development phase of the process early next year.
If you are interested some of the background materials used for the charrette include:
- West Quadrant Charrette Atlas of Maps
- West Quadrant Issues and Opportunities Survey Results
- West Quadrant Plan Issues and Opportunities Summary Report
For questions or comments regarding the West Quadrant Charrette or the planning process, please contact Elisa Hamblin at (503) 823-9714 or via email at email@example.com.

LONDON—The UK Biobank, a repository containing samples and health data from half a million people, is finally open for business after being in the works for more than a decade. The £62 million project, funded mainly by the Medical Research Council and the Wellcome Trust, has tested one in every 50 people between the ages of 40 and 69 years, from across the country, between 2006 and 2010.
"What we hope now is that scientists will use it," says Rory Collins, principal investigator and chief executive officer of the Biobank, and an epidemiology professor at Oxford University. The idea is that the bank will inform research into major diseases such as dementia, diabetes, and cancer by allowing scientists to draw correlations with myriad factors, including smoking and body fat.
Its value is that "it's big and it's detailed," Collins says. Blood and urine samples, along with results of physical tests for hearing, weight, height, bone density, and lung function, as well as personal interviews, paint a thorough picture of each participant. By the end of this year, 10,000 of the volunteers are expected to have developed diabetes and 2500, breast cancer. On this scale, results are far more "crisp" than those from most epidemiological studies, he explains.
"It's nice that they look at your whole body," says Dubravka Huzjak, a 51-year-old woman in London, who agreed to take part because she suffers from osteoarthritis. With £25 million of funding for the next 5 years, Collins plans to add further detail to these personal portraits, for instance by sending wrist-worn accelerometers, used to monitor activity, to those in the study who agree to wear one. Home monitors may be installed to measure exposure to harmful gases such as radon.
It's early days for the Biobank, but a meeting in January attracted interest from more than 40 groups, including health charities and pharmaceutical companies, says Wendy Ewart of the Medical Research Council. Eye-imaging tests that were carried out on a large subset of participants, Collins says, have researchers at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London "gagging to get at that data."
Plans for the Biobank were controversial when they were first developed. In 2003, the Medical Research Council faced attacks for not adequately consulting the U.K.'s research community. Those concerns, along with criticisms about delays and cost, have quieted. However, some pressure groups, including GeneWatch UK, maintain that genetic databases are white elephants with few scientific benefits.
The Biobank is free to use for anyone doing health-related research in the public interest anywhere in the world, subject to the cost of processing the requests. One caveat is that results must be published and fed back into the Biobank's databases. "The more it's used, the more valuable it becomes to other researchers," Collins says.
Meanwhile, the collection of samples and data will continue. Participants will be followed until they die, their details updated from National Health Service records, and some tests repeated. Each year brings more detail about each person and more cases of disease. "The beauty of this kind of study is you can just wait," Collins says.

The CMS Stag and Athena Class of 2011 enjoyed a stellar "Senior Day" on January 22, 2011. The swimmers and divers faced California Lutheran University in the final home meet of the season. After the requisite cheers, hugs, chest-bumps and balloons, the Athenas dethroned the Regals 192 to 44 while the Stags topped the Kingsmen 158 to 83.
Coach Charlie Griffiths said, "This senior class has been tremendously influential within the CMS program over the past four years. Beyond the championships and the records, it is a group that has embodied the spirit of CMS swimming and diving. As much as we appreciate their talents in the pool, their value on deck and on campus is just as notable."
In the women's meet, Michele Kee scored two individual wins for CMS. With four CMS freshmen posting sub-minute times in the 100 yard butterfly, Kee was victorious with an NCAA B-cut of 57.77, which places her as the second-fastest performer in CMS history in that event. Kee later won the 100 breaststroke
"Based on practice performances, we've been anticipating breakout swims in the butterfly for several swimmers," Griffiths noted. "They bring out the best in each other during practice and that translates into group success at meets."
Eight other Athenas won individual events, with each class contributing. Seniors Carliann Brashier, Tessa Dover, and Teija Mortvedt won the 1000 freestyle, 100 backstroke and 3-meter diving events, respectively. Junior Emma Jones took first in the 200 freestyle. Sophomores Carmen Lundell, Olivia Graham and Tara McIntyre notched victories in 1-meter diving, the 400 individual medley and the 500 freestyle. The sprinting duties were picked up by the frosh, with Kristie Howard and Ellie Smith winning the 50 and 100 yard freestyle events.
In relay action, Elsa Cheng, Emma Jones, Katie Bilotti and Kristie Howard won first in the 200 medley relay. Helen Liu, Emma Jones, Dana Shaker and Ellie Smith won the 200 free relay. Liu led off the relay with a 24.33 in the 50 free, good for fourth on the CMS top 10 list.
The men's meet brought Stag victories in nine events. The 200 yard medley relay was one of the most exciting races of the day, as the CMS "A" and "B" squads swam stroke for stroke throughout the eight lengths. Ultimately the "B" team of Austin Hallett, Brad Perfect, Brendan Huss and Devin Bowers prevailed 1:39.05 to 1:39.50.
Sophomore Andrew Fevery was a double winner, sweeping the 3-meter and 1-meter diving competitions. A pair of seniors teamed to win the distance races. Ian McGinnity won the 1000 yard freestyle and Nick Ostreim pulled away in the final 150 yards to win the 500 free. Coach Griffiths observed, "Ian McGinnity showed off his range today, winning the 1000 free and posting the fastest 50 free relay split among six 200 yard freestyle relays."

Can a Cat Crash Super Dog Sunday?
The super bowl is this Sunday and this is a great day for snacking and snoozing on the sofa with my dad. In addition to the football game and the commercials, there is Super Dog Sunday™ hosted by our good friends at Event Barkers. You know Event Barkers from the super terrific job they do hosting our Red Carpet Cat Events!
Super Dog Sunday™ is an annual charitable event in which 100% of the proceeds go to the Petfinder Foundation to help them find more homes for adorable cats and dogs. There is a great lineup of sponsors and participants can enter to win up to $1500 in prizes too! Helping find homes for our cousins and win great prizes? Put me in coach!
Put me in Coach I am ready to Play!
I got so excited when Paris from dogtipper.com told me about this great event to help find forever homes for our cousins that I asked if a cat could crash the party and she said, I didn't have to crash, that cats are welcome too! So I am calling all cats to enter to help our cousins in need of loving homes.

The July 4 holiday is right around the corner, and if you are like the average American, you�ll be behind a grill. The patriotic holiday is the highlight of the grilling season whether you are at home or attending a picnic among friends and family.
Although most people keep the fare simple, others are breaking out steaks and lamb. Tom likes to use his Big Green Egg smoker to barbecue some ribs or pork. Not only does the food taste fantastic, but it�s an impressive show for guests.
Those of you who will be serving wine are lucky. This is an occasion to keep the wine simple � and cheap.
Food like ribs and anything else adorned with a ketchup-based sauce is best serve with a fruity red wine. Syrah (or shiraz as they call the grape in Australia) is a very good choice. Loaded with fruit, it offers the juicy character that complements sweet sauces. Penfolds, Yangarra and Rosemount offer a good range of shiraz.
Another good choice is zinfandel � equally as fruity but different in style and usually more alcoholic. You have to think about alcohol levels when imbibers are having more than a couple of glasses. We like the Cline California Zinfandel and, for a few bucks more, the Cline Ancient Vines Zinfandel.
A final consideration is malbec, the hot new red grape variety popular in Argentina. Malbecs are simple, flavorful and inexpensive.
We like to start our guests with rose or sauvignon blanc � chilled wines with crisp acidity to cool the palate. A sparkling wine, like prosecco, would offer a cheery toast.
Not everyone likes red wine, of course, so we have accumulated a number of white wines in the following:
Sledgehammer Forged Red 2011 ($12). If all you want is lots of fruit in a glass, this is a winner. Smooth in the mouth, it sports sweet, ripe dark fruit flavors. We have no clue about the grape varieties, but we suspect it�s just about everything.
Trivento Reserve Malbec 2012 ($11). This is a very fruit-forward malbec that shows off strawberry and cherry flavors with a good dose of chocolate.
Casillero del Diablo Reserva Red Blend 2011 ($12). From Concha y Toro, this wine is a delicious blend of syrah, carmenere and cabernet sauvigon. The spice notes in this fruit-driven wine will be a good match to hearty meats, such as ribs and brisket.
Dry Creek Vineyard Fume Blanc 2012 ($14). We are big fans of Dry Creek sauvignon blanc. This version has crisp acidity, good spice and the usual citrus and grass flavors � but with a minerality that keeps it straight. We also loved the 2012 Dry Creek Vineyard sauvignon blanc ($16) that has 10-percent sauvignon musque to keep it interesting. Either of these wines will please your guests.
Robert Mondavi Private Selection Pinot Grigio 2012 ($11). Pinot grigio should not be complicated, and this version is quite simple. Using grapes from the Central Coast of California, Mondavi has created a very pleasant wine with fresh, tangy fruit and a round texture. A bit of French Columbard and gewurztraimer is added to soften the wine, add more fruit and a touch of sweetness.

Ezekiel 33-34 New International Version (NIV)
Renewal of Ezekiel's Call as Watchman
33 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 "Son of man, speak to your people and say to them: 'When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman, 3 and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people, 4 then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not heed the warning and the sword comes and takes their life, their blood will be on their own head. 5 Since they heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, their blood will be on their own head. If they had heeded the warning, they would have saved themselves. 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone's life, that person's life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.'
7 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 8 When I say to the wicked, 'You wicked person, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade them from their ways, that wicked person will die for[a] their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. 9 But if you do warn the wicked person to turn from their ways and they do not do so, they will die for their sin, though you yourself will be saved.
10 "Son of man, say to the Israelites, 'This is what you are saying: "Our offenses and sins weigh us down, and we are wasting away because of[b] them. How then can we live?"' 11 Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, people of Israel?'
12 "Therefore, son of man, say to your people, 'If someone who is righteous disobeys, that person's former righteousness will count for nothing. And if someone who is wicked repents, that person's former wickedness will not bring condemnation. The righteous person who sins will not be allowed to live even though they were formerly righteous.' 13 If I tell a righteous person that they will surely live, but then they trust in their righteousness and do evil, none of the righteous things that person has done will be remembered; they will die for the evil they have done. 14 And if I say to a wicked person, 'You will surely die,' but they then turn away from their sin and do what is just and right— 15 if they give back what they took in pledge for a loan, return what they have stolen, follow the decrees that give life, and do no evil—that person will surely live; they will not die. 16 None of the sins that person has committed will be remembered against them. They have done what is just and right; they will surely live.
17 "Yet your people say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' But it is their way that is not just. 18 If a righteous person turns from their righteousness and does evil, they will die for it. 19 And if a wicked person turns away from their wickedness and does what is just and right, they will live by doing so. 20 Yet you Israelites say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' But I will judge each of you according to your own ways."
Jerusalem's Fall Explained
21 In the twelfth year of our exile, in the tenth month on the fifth day, a man who had escaped from Jerusalem came to me and said, "The city has fallen!" 22 Now the evening before the man arrived, the hand of the Lord was on me, and he opened my mouth before the man came to me in the morning. So my mouth was opened and I was no longer silent.
23 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 24 "Son of man, the people living in those ruins in the land of Israel are saying, 'Abraham was only one man, yet he possessed the land. But we are many; surely the land has been given to us as our possession.' 25 Therefore say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Since you eat meat with the blood still in it and look to your idols and shed blood, should you then possess the land? 26 You rely on your sword, you do detestable things, and each of you defiles his neighbor's wife. Should you then possess the land?'
27 "Say this to them: 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, those who are left in the ruins will fall by the sword, those out in the country I will give to the wild animals to be devoured, and those in strongholds and caves will die of a plague. 28 I will make the land a desolate waste, and her proud strength will come to an end, and the mountains of Israel will become desolate so that no one will cross them. 29 Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I have made the land a desolate waste because of all the detestable things they have done.'
30 "As for you, son of man, your people are talking together about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses, saying to each other, 'Come and hear the message that has come from the Lord.' 31 My people come to you, as they usually do, and sit before you to hear your words, but they do not put them into practice. Their mouths speak of love, but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain. 32 Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one who sings love songs with a beautiful voice and plays an instrument well, for they hear your words but do not put them into practice.
33 "When all this comes true—and it surely will—then they will know that a prophet has been among them."
The Lord Will Be Israel's Shepherd
34 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 "Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to you shepherds of Israel who only take care of yourselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? 3 You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock. 4 You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally. 5 So they were scattered because there was no shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild animals. 6 My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. They were scattered over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them.
7 "'Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8 As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, because my flock lacks a shepherd and so has been plundered and has become food for all the wild animals, and because my shepherds did not search for my flock but cared for themselves rather than for my flock, 9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 10 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock. I will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves. I will rescue my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.
11 "'For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. 12 As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. 13 I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. 14 I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign Lord. 16 I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice.
17 "'As for you, my flock, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will judge between one sheep and another, and between rams and goats. 18 Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of your pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink clear water? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet? 19 Must my flock feed on what you have trampled and drink what you have muddied with your feet?
20 "'Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says to them: See, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. 21 Because you shove with flank and shoulder, butting all the weak sheep with your horns until you have driven them away, 22 I will save my flock, and they will no longer be plundered. I will judge between one sheep and another. 23 I will place over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he will tend them; he will tend them and be their shepherd. 24 I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David will be prince among them. I the Lord have spoken.
25 "'I will make a covenant of peace with them and rid the land of savage beasts so that they may live in the wilderness and sleep in the forests in safety. 26 I will make them and the places surrounding my hill a blessing.[c] I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing. 27 The trees will yield their fruit and the ground will yield its crops; the people will be secure in their land. They will know that I am the Lord, when I break the bars of their yoke and rescue them from the hands of those who enslaved them. 28 They will no longer be plundered by the nations, nor will wild animals devour them. They will live in safety, and no one will make them afraid. 29 I will provide for them a land renowned for its crops, and they will no longer be victims of famine in the land or bear the scorn of the nations. 30 Then they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them and that they, the Israelites, are my people, declares the Sovereign Lord. 31 You are my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Sovereign Lord.'"

1 Peter 5 New International Version (NIV)
To the Elders and the Flock
5 To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ's sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: 2 Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; 3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
5 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
"God opposes the proud
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Final Greetings
12 With the help of Silas,[b] whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.
Peace to all of you who are in Christ.

It is about time the we hear of an expansion to Skyrim. I personally surprised this all didn't happen sooner considering how quickly Bethesda released expansions to New Vegas after the release of the game. I expect nothing but great things from Dawnguard.

Decided to play a little Skyrim for the first time in weeks to finish up some misc quests. At one point I was just outside Falkreath when I was bailed up by a thief and soon locked in mortal combat. I was letting him whale on my upraised shield to get my block skill raised when I noticed a familiar silhouette approaching from the distance. Dragon armor? Could it be? It WAS! Lydia was plodding home after I'd dismissed her much earlier. She killed the guy and with a parting "Honor to you, my thane" she set off again. The body started sliding down the hill to Falkreath and I had to run after it to chase down my lockpick and 5gp. The guard at city gate eyed me suspiciously.Jan 28, 2012 2:42pm PSThttp://www.shacknews.com/chatty?id=27553088#item_27553088 By: y(Dave-A)y Decided to play a little Sky... : Haxim

Yea. I just saw about 10 different threads on the game but I decided to start another one.
Let me preface: I never played Morrowind, and I never played Oblivion. This is my first Bethesdian Fantasy RPG.
Does anyone find this game WAY TOO EASY?
I just dinged LVL 16 and just joined my first faction - the Dark Brotherhood. I've slayed 3 dragons which includes the 1st Whiterun quest one. I think in the entire time I've been playing I've died maybe once? Which I remember and that was the Red Eagle Tomb dude.
I'm starting to get a little bored in the fact that nothing is really challenging and that I've explored a large part of the map. Is it just that my build is so incredibly easy?
I've basically max'd Archery, Sneak, One-Hand as far as they will go (~40 @ LVL16) to make me a killer battle axe rogue but everything is such a piece of cake. Now that joined the Dark Brotherhood and got the wicked Shrouded Armor I feel things are just going to get even easier :(Nov 15, 2011 2:07pm PSThttp://www.shacknews.com/chatty?id=27094084#item_27094084 By: Skoal^Fyfan Skyrim Yea.

I was looking at my save last night, I believe it said something like 45 hours (I am level 30 with 20+ dragon shouts) and I was thinking how much I would actually pay for this game. 45 hours is more time I have put into UC3, Gears 3, Rage and several other games combined. I would honestly pay $200+ for this game if they charged it. It has so much content it is worth it.

Skyrim Mages
I just re-rolled my character and totally started over. Instead of a melee sneak / archery / rogue-ish build like i went last time, this time I chose a Breton as my starting character.
Breton's start with bonuses in Conflag and Illusion but get 0 bonuses in Destruction.
My question is that is a Conflag / Illsuion focused build viable? Breton's start with 0 bonueses in destruction so should I really focus any points in there?
I'm amused with the idea of using a non-destruction build but FIRE is almost absolutely necessary in any mage build isn't it?
I'm not worried about having to kite like shit or anything. Just wondering if Conflag/ Illusion is really viable?Nov 16, 2011 6:04am PST

So, I was surprised with SKYRIM last night from my GF.
This game is so freaking gorgeous. I had seen screenshots and videos, but that just doesn't convey the awesomeness of the living world around you. It's amazing. When the game starts there's a bunch of scripted event, and i giggled a little, and thought nothing of it, but once you're turned to your own devices, it was like someone opened my eyes. I spent a good hour just running around messing with everything right off the beginning. I found wondering hunters to trade with, a pair of wolves scared the living bajesus out of me, found a small encampment of female viking amazons, then watched fish jumping upstream in a river.
It's incredible. I then got to the first town and went into the first dungeon I think. That in itself was worth the price of admission. There was no cookie cutter style layouts in it at all, a couple traps, nothing too hard, but it was like "OOOH!!!! HEEEEEHEHEHE THIS IS AWESOME" And I pwn'd a couple zombies in the face HARD! This game is going to suck in my time like no other. And I hated Oblivion. Go figure.
Here's some pretty screenshots that absolutely do not convey the awesomeness of the game at all:

A couple of Skyrim questions:
-Can I effectively be a jack of all trades? I generally carry a one handed weapon and will off hand a shield or spell, but occasionally I like to bust out a bow. Will I suffer tremendously for not maxing one category? I also enjoy the stealth and thieving aspects to the game, but it doesn't really fit my character. Can I still do that stuff much or will I be hampered a lot?
-Will I suffer for not having a companion(s) with me? I don't like having Lydia following me around. I am Thoreau of Elder Scrolls land.
-Why are houses in Solitude so fucking expensive? I like the city, I shouldn't have to live in stupid Whiterun. That city is Rohan, but without Bernard Hill and Karl Urban.Nov 15, 2011 3:23pm PST

Is it just me or are there dragons everywhere in skyrim? I've killed 19 of them so far and acouple of times I've ran into two of them right next to each other (Luckly didn't have to fight them both at the same time, although I did have to fight a dragon and two bears at the same time once)
This game is insanely big with so much shit to do. I spent all day Sunday just killing deer and bears for their pelts and then making leather that I then used to level up my smithing.

Base stats:
Chest - 144
Boots - 54
Gloves -54
Helm - 68
Shield - 66
Stats are here http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Armor_(Skyrim)Nov 15, 2011 2:09pm PST

I'm not buying Skyrim. Not even endless threads and a bombardment of Shackhype can persuade me.
I've never liked a single player RPG before, so I dont know why I'd start to like them now. I've played a few of them from the old Zelda/Chrono-Trigger days up to Windwaker on GC and also more recent games like Two Worlds II. The most I've played out of any of them was maybe a couple hours of Windwaker. I've tried to like them, but they just don't hold my attention.
I still see long stretches of mediocre dialogue and endless books with 30 pages of alchemy text and lockpicking and collecting random boring objects in this game.
What separates this game from the others, or is it just the latest in the genre to collect the drool of RPG fans globally?Nov 15, 2011 2:05pm PST

Lent. We are in the season of Lent, a time of reflection and preparation in the church year. But you know that.
Lent was a paradoxical time for me as a pastor, and it may be that for you. It was a time intended for reflection, but I was busier than usual with additional worship services and other pastoral work. It was hard to find the time for self-reflection or any other kind of reflection. (In my first two years as a pastor, I thought Lent would be a wonderful time to add extra Bible studies and even more pastoral visits; that was one of my worst ideas ever.)
Lent was a time for additional proclamation of the Gospel, offering opportunities through mid-week worship for sermon series, etc.; at the same time it was a season where I felt I couldn't really "preach the Good News" in all its fullness, since that was supposed to wait for Easter. I never quite reconciled preaching throughout the whole time "without the alleluia." It always felt like I was driving a Porsche with the speed governor set at 55. Maybe you'll find it easier.
Lent was a beautiful, albeit somewhat solemn time, and it was a wonderful opportunity to be with people in their pain or loss, and I treasured that. At the same time I was never totally at ease with the subdued, suffering tone of the season (I must not be wired like Garrison Keillor), and there were times I just wanted to share in people's joys and sing an uplifting hymn. Waiting until Easter Sunday felt like being a kid waiting for Christmas Day.
Each year I/we spent a lot of time "planning the Lenten season" in the congregation. A lot(!) of time. And yet the whole season was aimed beyond itself, preparing for the Resurrection, and the season of Easter.
So how is it going? How is it to be on internship? How is it to be in the season of Lent? Are you busy? Is the reflection going well? How about the preparation? Are you fully immersed in today's season? Do you remember that it all points to the future? Are the days longer? If so, is that delight and opportunity, or just more time to work?
How is it these days with you?
May you find life-giving rhythms for life and ministry. May they lead you into deep immersion with God's people where you are today, and may they serve as preparation and guide to life and ministry in the days and years ahead.

Of Paul Revere's midnight ride, and so
I won't rehash how, "in Seventy-five…"
For hardly a U.S. child alive
Has escaped being quizzed on the day and year.
But in school or in scouts or in all your youth,
Or in history texts, do you recall learning
Who rode twice as far as Revere – 'struth! –
To warn her dad's troops of Danbury's burning?
For she of a different gender be
From old one-if-by-land-and-two-if-by-sea.
And this "female Revere" business needs be quibbled with.
So by Shapelings all, at their most ribald, with
Regrets to Longfellow: you're about to get Sybilled with!
alibelle kicked off an interesting conversation here about female historical figures (such as Sybil Ludington, the subject of my verse attempt above) whose contributions are downplayed — or at best allowed to confer on them the status of being "The female [Big Famous Man]" — while male historical figures have their contributions memorized by generations of school children. As I expect every sincere commenter here realizes, this dynamic plays out across all axes of oppression.
No, that's not the Fluff part. The Fluff part is where we take all the poems and songs we had to memorize in elementary school — the dippier, the better — and recast them to draw attention to historical figures who were removed from the main story and relegated to cutesy sidebars in history textbooks; and/or taught only in "special" units covering rare exotic breeds of humanity like… Women! or, People Who Aren't White! If they were remembered at all.
(Also fair game: crafts. Anyone other white Shapelings find themselves wearing a construction paper feather headdress in November of third grade?)
Subvert away!
