Recruiters continue to meet a significant
role in many screening processes for
companies and job search sources for

An article reporting how the uncertainty
of one's position might influence your
investment strategy is linked. More
nuances of conversions to Roth IRAs
is picked up on our "radar screen."

Link the health of your company and industry

Taxes on Roth conversion and
R. Jacobs, Pitfalls of Roth conversion,
The questions about converting traditional
and rollover IRAs to Roth IRA is complex
and deserves more consideration after
studying two more articles. Greene's
always helpful WSJ column hits on ways
of meeting the taxes due.
Jacobs writes about distributions, withholding
taxes, beneficiaries and fixing problems

New candidate screening tools are being

Trade show organizers, event production companies, and theme parks often have trouble controlling unauthorized access to their facilities without making visitors upset by delays or long lines. Many man hours are spent manually checking the tickets and ink stamps of visitors. Even free events can require registration, so organizers can obtain valuable visitor behavior data.
With our RFID event management system, businesses can cut down man hours and staff needs, keep lines down, and automatically gather data as visitors move through an event area. The RFID tags that you hand out to visitors will ping off of our gateway readers and fixed RFID readers at key entry points and booths. The data is logged in our system and automatically:
Events that offer special paid exhibits and rides can utilize our badges as part of an RFID access control system. Gateway readers and scanners at entry points can automatically ping on badges, sending the data to our software to confirm whether or not the visitor has access. With our RFID event management software you can set up multi-level ticket plans for:
● Standard Entry Tickets
● VIP Tickets
● IMAX Tickets
● Special Rides or Exhibits
Most importantly, event organizers can track the movement data of visitors to see which exhibits are more popular and how long guests linger at each spot. It can also be used for targeted marketing after the event, such as sending specific coupons and mailers to guests depending on the booths visited. This data can also be valuable for improving traffic flow and determining which entry points require more security.

It's a big joke – the Election Commission of India (ECI) has proposed to the Law Ministry that it wants to set a limit on election expenditure by political parties towards Parliamentary or Assembly elections.
A limit? That's a non-starter. Even a kindergarten child will tell you that! Yes, we can surely have it on paper, stipulate a law even but no one bothers to adhere to it. And yes, lying on oath is not a big deal in our country.
Late Gopinath Munde, during the campaigning of the 2014 elections, said in a public meeting that he had spent Rs.8 crore on his election campaign but his signed, legal document, which is the expenditure affidavit accounted for only Rs.19.37 lakh as election spend.
During Lok Sabha Elections in 2014, the limit of expenditure for a parliamentary constituency in bigger states like U. P, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh was Rs. 70 lakhs and the lowest limit for a parliamentary constituency was Rs. 54 lakhs for the constituencies of smaller states such as Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh and Goa. And time and again, it is seen that the expenditure statements submitted by the MPs of the Lok Sabha 2014 elections to the ECI, it is seen that the MPs continue to declare election expenditure which is significantly lower than the expense limit.
The Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) and National Election Election Watch analysed election expenditure and vote share of 4087 out of 4120 sitting MLAs in 11 states.
The report found:
- MLAs from 11 states namely Kerala, Tripura, Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Mizoram, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Assam and Bihar have spent more than 50 % of the expenditure limit.
- Among the State which have gone for elections in the last 5 years (2013-2018), it has been observed that the maximum amount of expenditure by the MLAs has been done for the vehicles used for campaign. They have spent only 5% on the campaigning through print and electronic media.
- The ADR has also put out a report on the 2014 Lok Sabha election expenditure affidavits:
- Based on the election expense declarations of 537 MPs analysed from Lok Sabha, 2014 to the ECI, 176 MPs (33%) have declared election expenses of less than 50% of the expense limit in their constituency.
- Gourav Gogoi of INC from Kaliabor Constituency, Assam was the only one who declared an election expenditure of Rs. 82.40 Lakhs (118% of the expense limit).
- Based on the election expense declarations of 537 MPs from Lok Sabha 2014 to the ECI, the average amount of money spent by them in the elections is only about Rs 40.33 lakhs, which is 58% of the expense limit.
- 16 MPs have declared election expenditure incurred by them (Section 1) which is more than their total assets declared during the elections. Dr.Shrikant Eknath Shinde of Shiv Sena from Kalyan Constituency, Maharashtra declared total assets of Rs. 9.98 lakhs during the elections, however he has declared election expenses of Rs. 51.34 lakhs (Rs. 41.36 lakhs more than his total assets). Similarly, Kamakhya Prasad Tasa of BJP from Jorhat Constituency, Assam declared total assets of Rs. 16.94 lakhs during the elections, however he has declared election expenses of Rs. 58.21 lakhs (Rs. 41.26 lakhs more than his total assets).
Well, there is no doubt that limits are just on paper. What actually gets spent has no limits – get the votes under any cost – that's the mantra.
ECI's intentions are good and the limit can have an impact if and only if, it is implemented and enforced. But on a much logical note, more than setting limits, which are meaningless, it would be better if the ECI sets new rules in transparency and that in itself will ensure enforcement.
Actually, the Central Information Commission did try its level best to achieve transparency in political financing but for this cause, all political parties united and with one voice vehemently opposed the move. And all the political parties, despite all the tall talks, have defied the CIC's order for administering the RTI Act. The matter is in the Supreme Court where the Govt of India wants to ensure that none of the political parties should come under the RTI Act. That's how honest these so-called leaders of India are!
In the coming months, cash and only cash will be the king – so much so for demonetization.

Police investigate after 2 found dead in Chickasaw home
Louisville Metro police are investigating after two people were found shot in the 1300 block of Rosewell Avenue.
A man and a woman were found dead in a home around 2 p.m. Monday.
LMPD said the victim's son requested a police welfare check because he hadn't heard from his father. When Second Division officers entered the home, they found two people dead.
Police spokesman Dwight Mitchell said the two people suffered "obvious trauma" and foul play is suspected. Mitchell wouldn't talk about a possible motive in the case or how the two were killed.
"As I've said to you many times, just like the first one we had at the beginning of the year, the 42nd and 43rd (homicides) are just as traumatic as the first one," Mitchell said.
According to family members, one victim was the homeowner and the other victim was his aunt, who lived with him.
Friends and family members said the man was the owner of a club in west Louisville.
"We have lost somebody today and the person that did this I don't know if you realize what you took, what you've taken," Janie Ruff, an employee of the victim, said.
Police said it appears that the the two died overnight or early Monday.
Mitchell said nothing has been ruled out and asked anyone who saw or heard anything to come forward. Information can be reported anonymously to the LMPD tip line at 502-574-LMPD.
The homicide unit is investigating.

SciChart® the market leader in Fast WPF Charts, WPF 3D Charts, and iOS Chart & Android Chart Components
Does scichart support smith charts? If not, it is possible to build a smith chart based on polar chart?
Hi Manuel,
At the moment, SciChart does not support a Smith Chart. However, it has been requested several times in the past. We have a Polar Chart which is close but not quite what you are looking for.
We are building some new Chart Types for SciChart WPF v4.1, v4.2 and perhaps I can increase the priority of Smith Chart.
Best regards,
Thank you for your answer!
Hi again Andrew!
Do you have a estimated date of when are you going to implement smith charts? We are very interested in add this feature to our software, and we are valuing the possibility of making our own smith chart, or wait for your release.

News and Insights
Retail facial recognition and eye tracking the next tech wave, maybe
Jon Hughes, EVP of REPL, recently spoke with TechTarget to discuss whether he thinks facial recognition and eye tracking are the next retail tech wave.
Stores and restaurants are testing retail facial recognition technology to help speed up checkout and ordering, users and vendors said at the recent NRF 2020 Vision: Retail's Big Show. Eye-tracking software helps retailers improve user interfaces on e-commerce sites as well as in physical stores, influencing the planograms that map product placement on store shelves.
"I think there's a massive opportunity, but there's a leap of faith needed. Taking that leap of faith is really hard for some organizations, but the technology's there."

McMahon defended WWE, the company she launched with her husband, Vince. "WWE has almost 700 jobs today,'' she said. "I'm very proud of earning my money the old-fashioned way, [through] hard work, a great work ethic.''
It didn't work. This will be remembered as another fight over WWE and McMahon's defense of her company's questionable behavior. "I have fought to protect children from abuse and neglect,'' Blumenthal said. "My opponent has marketed sex and violence to children. There have been seven dead wrestlers since she started this campaign.''
To this, McMahon replied that the "consequence of death is a ver sad thing... those consequences were not the result of ring performance."
McMahon concluded, "You can always change the channel. It's insulting to the millions of people who watch WWE each week to suggest that it is less than quality entertainment."
Blumenthal shot back, saying he would not be lectured by someone who has badly treated her employees, bringing up how seven wrestlers have died since the newcomer politician began her quest last year to fill the Senate seat. "The people of Connecticut know me and they have taken the measure of my character over 20 years," Blumenthal said.
McMahon, who acknowledged the WWE has "pushed the envelope" over the years with its programming, said she remains proud of the company, which she said has created an average of 20 jobs a year over the last 28 years and expects to hire an additional 100 to 140 workers next year.
McMahon stood by her record as former chief and executive officer of World Wrestling Entertainment. She painted Blumenthal as a career politician who, as a state legislator, voted for a record tax increase. "I don't think we can send Mr. Blumenthal to Washington with his tax-and-spend philosophy," McMahon said. "We can't afford Dick Blumenthal in Washington."

Michael Joo
MIT List Visual Arts Center
Since 1991, Michael Joo has used materials such as urine, natural and synthetic sweat and salt, sprouting seeds, live and dead deer, and transparent plastic deities to explore themes of transformation, evolution, and shamanism in his drawings, sculptures, installations, and performance-based videos. As seen in this first career survey, though there are direct references to Duchamp's assisted readymade (as in Improved Rack #1, [Moose], 1999) and to Beuys's ritualized and romanticized sociopolitical ephemeral props (as in Unpack, 2003), Joo also posits his own brand of intriguing and often darkly humorous questions about race, consumption, religion, and metaphysics, proving his shamanship to be far more than tongue-in-cheek.
The New York–based Joo, who represented South Korea at the 2001 Venice Biennale, engages identity politics with minimalist sculptural installations and ersatz science.

This year, our MIPCOM line-up is packed with heartland Fremantle formats. From bold reality and feel-good entertainment, to impeccable gameshow classics. It's full of iconic shows that audiences know and love, as well as new titles that can slot perfectly into any schedule and entertain the masses.
Let's start with our new reality-dating format, Five Guys a Week. Produced by Label1 for Channel 4 in the UK, this show transforms the first-date experience into the ultimate test of romance and compatibility, whilst putting the woman in control. Fast-tracking the "getting to know you" period, one single girl looking for love choses five guys to move into her house. Every morning she will eliminate one of them, and the last man standing becomes her boyfriend. With fantastic storytelling built around a simple structure, it's an authentic and engaging format that can fit into any slot for any broadcaster.
Fremantle, the home of gameshows, have the largest and most varied gameshow catalogue on the planet. This market, we return to our heritage and revisit Fremantle's gameshow legacy. For this year's MIPCOM, we're excited to introduce Epic Gameshow, our huge weekly event-viewing format from Talkback in the UK. The show is made up of iconic gameshows from our catalogue. We've taken some of our biggest titles including Play Your Cards Right, Take Your Pick, Strike it Lucky, Bullseye and The Price is Right, super-sized them and given them a brand-new epic ending. The look and feel of the classic formats have been totally refreshed, which has resulted in fantastic event-viewing that is transferable across various schedules. Watching this show, you can't help but want to be part of the action!
Continuing with gameshows, Rolling In Itis our brand-new format from Over The Top Productions and commissioned by ITV in the UK, where contestants hope to go home literally rolling in it.We see three contestants play alongside some of their favourite celebrities in a bid to go home with a big cash prize. Packed with tension and fantastic comedy moments, these contestants will need to have luck on their side because everything could change at the roll of a giant coin!
Next up, we have a quiz show which sets out to find the nation's smartest family, The Family Brain Games. Created by Label1 for BBC Two in the UK, this series sees eight smart families go head-to-head in the ultimate challenge that pushes their minds and relationships to the limits. Fun viewing for the whole family, the cross-generational quiz tests modern intelligence by using numbers, pictures, words and memory puzzles. This is the first gameshow to keep the cameras rolling backstage, so we see the families squabbling over their losses or celebrating their victories after each round.
Finally, it's time to go wild in the aisles with our revamped classic Supermarket Sweep. The much-loved Thames gameshow was rebooted for ITV2 in the UK and became the channel's biggest launch for four years. Manyof the legacy elements and fan favourites of the past return, with the giant inflatables and memorable catchphrases all making an appearance.
We're looking forward to seeing you in Cannes and introducing you to our line-up.

You'll soon be able to stream PS4 games to your PC
Sony confirmed Friday that PS4 remote play is coming to the PC and Mac. Currently, the Remote Play feature allows PS4 owners to stream their games wirelessly to a PS Vita, Playstation TV and various Sony-branded tablets and phones.
The news was announced by Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony Computer Entertainment's Worldwide Studios, on Twitter.
"Some people asked if we plan to provide Remote Play function to PC, and yes, we are indeed working on an official application for PC/Mac..."
This announcement comes after Microsoft implemented a similar features, allowing Xbox One owners to stream their games to PC, back in August. There's no word on a release timeline or compatibility, but it's possible we'll see the feature in action at Sony's upcoming Playstation Experience, which runs from Dec. 5-6.
For those that can't wait, there's an unofficial Remote Play solution available now, though it's still in an alpha phase and will set you back $10.

When my friend, Derek, was home for Spring break, he enlisted my help with a project he was working on. He wanted to make some inspirational plaques with a saying that was important to him. He asked if I could make a stencil for him. Impressed with his determination, I agreed to help. Without too much trouble I cut a stencil for him and with the remaining letters, I made my own inspirational project. It holds a great reminder for anyone; I have particularly appreciated its wisdom recently.
Perhaps I am the only one that faces life this way, but I think I really am in good company. I hope it is a universal tendency and that I am not the only one that lives doubting my own abilities and fearing the challenges waiting down the road.
With this reminder that 'I can do hard things' firmly in my mind, I am determined to move forward, to conquer the challenges that lie before me, and most importantly, those that lie within me.
I am thankful for a circle of supporters, my loving family and my caring friends. A dear friend from my youth recently reminded me that it is within difficulties that opportunities arise. I am going to be looking for those opportunities. I am going to find the strength within myself that I know is there; it has been proven by the past, and it will not let me down now. Often the true test lies in the leap of faith.
Join me in my search for meaning, for worthwhile pursuits, for discovery. "Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you." --1 Peter 3:15

Liberties Park setting New Standards in Community Playspace
Dublin City Council this week officially opened Weaver Park– the culmination of concerted efforts by the local community including the 'Cork Street Park Group' and 'Skate 8' (working with Carson & Crushell Architects), who sought much-needed playspace for local children, teenagers and adults.
The Liberties Greening Strategy in 2014 highlighted that in the Liberties area there was only 0.7sqm of public green space per person, compared to a city-wide average of 49 sqm per person.
Weaver Park successfully provides a high-quality recreational outlet for local children, teenagers and adults alike. The 0.6 hectare park designed by Áit Urbanism & Landscape Ltd and constructed by Bracegrade incorporates play infrastructure to cater for all age groups, with climbing and slide structures as well as a skate bowl. In a new departure for city centre parks, Weaver Park is not fenced and will be open 24 hours, creating new 'desire line' pedestrian routes that are lit after dark. The rich heritage of the area is strongly reflected in the design with children's play structure resembling the gable-fronted housing once occupying the site, and the entrance pergola paying homage to the area known historically as 'The Tenters' where local textile makers hung fabrics on wooden structures to dry and stretch.

Weather worries
I know it's a few weeks yet til March plus you really never know but is anyone else a little worried about the recent weather we're having?
I don't expect sunshine and a heat wave for my wedding but I'm not sure I want a snow storm either or people struggling to get to a venue through country lanes risking their lives!
Maybe I'm thinking too much into it.

mrsharrison2013 Posts: 152This is one of the reasons we have gone local to family and friends as you just never know last year by the time march got round we had warmer then usual weather and this year the complete opposite lol. I will be getting some umbrellas though and i think snow covered grounds would make a lovely back drop for photos lol0
Boo81uk Posts: 254March is one of those times of the year where you just cannot predict the weather! We're getting married Easter weekend. I remember last Easter the weather was quite nice but a few years ago there was snow in London on Easter Sunday!
I guess we'll have a better idea this time next year and then we can be more prepared with umbrellas/fans or whatever we will need!
I don't think you can predict what's going to happen so just make sure you've got a good weather and a bad weather plan! Our venue set this up for us automatically before it even crossed my mind!0
Chloewood3 Posts: 68I know you can't predict the weather, but you can plan for it! You could always buy some weddington boots and some large white umbrellas just in case of bad weather, then at least you've got a plan should it rain/snow!0
sarahjane1973 Posts: 312at least you're not actually getting married this March in this weather!! hoping it goes in the next 26 days0
nats2013 Posts: 6,253be prepared for severe weather in a way which means some of your guests might not be able to come. Our insurance will reschedule our wedding if the weather is no bad that either 50%+ of the guests can't come or one of our suppliers can get there. we're getting hitched in the summer though so im sure we'l be fine but it's def something id look for if i were getting married in the winter/spring time0
Welshbride1313 Posts: 143I'm getting married on March 1st next year.
The weather is a worry especially as we have booked a beach venue so the whole idea of that is to have beach photos. However as it's St David's Day (I'm Welsh) we are buying Daffodil umbrellas and Wellingtons so if it does rain then we have props that will give us some interesting photo's!0
Yay I'm 1st March too!0
Well I hope for everyone's sake the weather is like this next year!0

So I recently decided to undertake the task of creating a Wizard Tier Melee Fighter. I know, I know, I'm not really the best person for the job but bear with me. If there's a will, there's a way. Right?
Anywho's, I really love playing melee fighters when I DnD. Its just my style to run up to somebody and beat them over the head with a really big sword. (Yeah, I played too much FF7 as a kid. I know.) Killing things the old fashioned way is just classic in my book. Debilitating status effects are for pussies, just beat them with a stick until they die.
So I hope to get the Andellion Warrior class up and polished soon. It is still a bit rusty at the moment, but given time and elbow-grease, it will get their. Any spastic comments wil…Read more >
Mass Effect 2 is an awesome game. My joyous fandom has spread to this site as well. The Biotic Vanguard class is just my doodles on one way Mass Effect would translate to D&D.
I've been getting alot of feedback from a friend on GD's wiki and thought to transcribe the comments to this articles talk page too. I know how much these guys like reading and covering all the angles, so I thought it would be a good idea. I feel like a politician, having to write paragraph after paragraph just to justify my opinion. Lol.
But as the King of Egypt once said: "So let it be written. So let it be done."Read more >
So I gave in and bought a 4e manual. And guess what? I liked it enough to give up on 3.5e.

Do the math in Hp gain in 3.5e and you will realize it is a decreasing return on investment. You are actually gaining a smaller percentage of your total Hp every time you level. How whack is dat?
- Daily, Encounter, At-Will: Awesome. Now my Fighter feels similar to the Wizard in terms of sweet tricks and prowess.
- Healing Surges: 4 fights a day which consume about 25% of my total resources every fight, and now a way to heal 25% of my total hit points too? Looks like I might not need that Bedroll after all.

Hi, my name is Jay. Lord Jay the Great if you so feel inclined. I came here a few months ago when I heard Surgo was creating a new wiki for the sane people of the world.

I'd like to comment on this video, not because it's Doug Wilson, but because it is illustrative of some significant differences between my religion and that of most American Evangelicals. Wilson is answering the question, "When should we give children the Lord's Supper?"
His answer is very interesting. He doesn't say, "As soon as they've been baptized." (I agree with Jim Jordan that that's the right answer, qualified by the fact that the supper is a "natural meal", not medicine. Thus, no cramming bread down the throats of infants who can't chew.) Wilson also doesn't give the Westminsterian Presbyterian answer: "After they have made credible profession of faith to their session of elders."
So what does he say?
At 1:30 in the video, he mentions that…
"Around a year old, the child starts to notice that everyone else is taking bread. When they then reach for the bread, and you have to hold the bread away from them, that moment has become didactic…As long as they are just conked out in the carseat, they're not learning anything positive or negative. They're just taking a nap."
Already he is off on the wrong foot, approaching the question as though the primary thing in the Supper were what the child is thinking, so that as long as a child is unaware of what he is missing, it doesn't matter that he's missing it. (I also think that all of our children have wanted the bread much earlier than 12 months old, but that's not really relevant to the main point I want to make.)
Wilson continues:
"As soon as a child starts to learn that they are out by (your) passing them by (sc. with the elements), we think that that is the time to teach them that they are in, that they're included, by giving them the elements of the Supper at that time — accompanied with teaching: 'This is the body of Jesus. He died for you…."
Many questions are being begged here. Why wait until the child realizes he's missing something? What advantage is there to waiting? Wouldn't the Supper work just as well if the child did not know what the elements represent symbolically?
The terms of Wilson's answer indicate that he thinks the Supper works by our thinking about it. Otherwise why wait until there is a "didactic moment"? Why does it matter what the child is thinking? The church is not a society of the like-minded. The child is in. It doesn't matter whether he knows he's in yet. The Supper is objective. It makes an objective demarcation between those who are in the Church and those who are outside it — not between those who are tracking with the service and those who are not. Is the child's own awareness of his "in-ness" or "out-ness" really
what matters? It's important, sure, but is it what qualifies a baby to receive the Supper? Or is that his actual membership in Christ, rather than his subjective awareness of it?
Wilson's colleague Peter Leithart has written a very fine little book called Against Christianity. In it, he attacks the view that the elements of the Lord's Supper are mere appendices to the Word, or that they work as edible flashcards to evoke pious thoughts in our minds. As far as I can see, Wilson falls squarely under Leithart's condemnation in that book.
As with most other errors about the Supper, there is a silver bullet cure for Wilson's problem: look to the Passover. The Israelites in Egypt daubed their doorposts and lintels with lamb's blood. They also ate those lambs, taking a number "according to the mouths eating." (No worries about nursing infants who can't chew.) And of course, the lamb had a symbolic meaning.
But did anyone have to think about the symbolic meaning in order to be saved by that blood? No, of course not. The Israelites could have been washing dishes or playing Yahtzee or (most likely) sleeping, and the blood would still have saved them. It didn't work as a sort of bloody flashcard for them, because it didn't matter what they thought about it. An Israelite could even have said, "This is cockamamie balderdash, and I don't believe it for a moment, but I'll smear this blood on my doorposts just to humor Moses." And even that profane fellow would have been saved, because the blood didn't work by Israelites thinking about it. It worked by the Lord and His destroyer thinking about it, as it says in Exodus 12:23:
"For YHWH will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, YHWH will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you."
When He sees, not you. He will not allow the destroyer into your house. And thus, not into your bedroom, not into your bed, not into your dreaming brain to see if you "really believe" or whether you are thinking about the Passover. Nothing gnostic about it. It doesn't matter what you're thinking. It doesn't even matter whether you are thinking.
This is why I call Wilson a low-bar credocommunionist or gnosto-communionist, not a paedocommunionist. It may look like he's doing the same thing as real paedocommunionists (e.g. Peter Leithart), but he has a fundamentally different conception of what faith is, and how the covenant works.
Our church lets any baptized child have the supper. Why? Because the Supper is part of what forms the people of God, and babies are members of that people. We recognize that participation in the Supper exercises a God-ward, not merely man-ward, demarcating function that is totally independent of whether we are conscious or sentient or thinking pious thoughts. We recognize that we are not Gnostics, and that the Supper is not an aide-memoire.
The consequences of this difference are very profound, and extend far beyond what we do when we're at the Lord's Table. They also affect how we think about the senile, the retarded, the mentally incapacitated, and babies in utero. They affect how we think about faith itself, and whether it is the sort of thing that can even be "alone", still less justify while being alone.
My friend Brad mentioned once that he thought I was too hard on Wilson, and that he was grateful to Wilson for bringing him out of Baptist theology and into the light of the Reformed faith. I replied that that was all very well, but that I had never been a Baptist. I would add that Wilson is still approximately half Baptist in his thinking. Indeed, he prefaced his answer to the question about when to give children the Supper by saying that there are Baptist families in his church, and that his session defers to those families and allows them to postpone their children's baptism until after they make profession of faith. I think this policy is admirable for its patience and pastoral sensitivity, and I have no doubt that it has brought many Baptist families to an eventual acceptance of a more covenantal and Reformed way of looking at their children. Rather than make the theology of baptism a bar to fellowship, Wilson is able to embrace those Baptist families and show them, week in and week out, the lovely sight of baptized children taking the Supper. That's a good thing, and it shows that Doug is a wise pastor who has a sensible understanding of the state of the church in North America in 2011. But I wonder if this compromise doesn't give away too much, theologically.
I am glad that my pastor, and my church, have a better practice that does not compromise with what my friend Mark B. calls "the schismatic heterodoxy." As my pastor put it two weeks ago in his sermon, the question is whether we are called to a decision or to a Table, to a Feast.
To see how unnatural Wilson's criterion is, consider this parting question: Do you withhold birthday cake from children until they start to inquire about it?
ADDENDUM: Wilson has replied. My response to his reply is here.

Good Gifts
Contributed by Sermoncentral on Dec 28, 2008 (message contributor)
Go to God--he is the source of our goodness on this earth.
Matthew 7:11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
This story about Hudson Taylor, a well-known missionary to China. While preparing for overseas mission work as a medical student in London, he came upon a poor family. The man asked him to pray for his family who were living under the stairs. His wife was so sick she could not even sit-up. The oldest was holding a newborn baby, who was so weak from lack of nutrition. The rest of the five children were all skin and bones from lack of food. Hudson prayed for them but felt the need to help them physically, but all he had was the money for his rental, which was due the next day. He did not even have money for his own food. Hudson gave it all to the man.
Hudson went home thinking what a foolish thing he did--if he cannot pay the rental, he too will be homeless. He prayed about it and prepared himself to appeal to the landlord for an extension. The next day, late in the morning he heard the landlord coming up the stairs. Hudson prepared himself. The landlord knock on his door; he opens it and the landlord handed him a letter and said, "Your rent is due today," and left to do other things. Hudson had no opportunity to appeal for an extension. He opened the letter to read, still with an empty stomach. Inside the letter said "We hope this will be of use to you"--money for the rental and food. God does give good gifts to his people.

Mayor Crystal Dingler apologized publicly on Monday for the city's lack of notice two months when a private fireworks show at Oyhut Bay sparked complaints the event disrupted the surrounding community and caused citizens to question the policy that allowed it to happen on the heels of a burn ban.
"We've had a lot of discussions internally about fireworks and what went wrong with the last thing," Dingler said.
On Sept. 22, Oyhut Bay hosted Jake's Fireworks for a private party displaying their products to current and potential customers, something that had previously been permitted at the Ocean Shores Airport in past years.
"I truly apologize to anyone who was harmed in any way or felt that their animals had problems," Dingler said. "And we didn't give sufficient notice, or in fact any notice at all. It was very upsetting to a lot of people."
Dingler said the solution is to add a clause in the permit that will require public notification.
"This time, I don't think it was the city's fault. I don't think it was anybody's fault. But we didn't have that requirement so that you had to notify people. We will make that happen next time."

Your PayPal contributions will enable us win this election.
An Individual can give up to $5,200
Thank you for your support
I want to attract new technologies and industry to better Tucson and Arizona's economy which will bring up the living standards of all. I will commit to bringing in 2.4 Billion dollars which will equate to over 10,000 new high paying jobs to Tucson.
Tucson has a unique environment. This uniqueness could secure Tucson's competitive position in attracting new economic development.
Modernizing our infrastructure across the city is critical to our maintaining and improving Tucson's economic competitiveness.
1. I will work with the local jurisdictions to cap and lower business tax rate (currently 14%)
2. I will commit to promoting and investing in our opportunity zones
3. I will work with businesses in reviewing proposed government intrusions
4. I will work to strengthen local public-private partnerships
5. I will work with our technology partners in incorporating state of the art local solar electric power generation and storage.
Public Safety should be first priority for our State and local governments. Our citizen's safety should be top priority and should be expected from our elected officials.
1. I will work with the Governors office on way to bring more public safety officers in my first year.
2. I will work and peruse formal inquiries to discover and examine the facts as to why Tucson has had such a decline in our public safety.
3. I will work with our public safety (Police and Fire) leaders and their rank and file on what issues are facing them and the resources that are needed to protect our community and Public Safety personnel.
4. I will ensure that funding directed to Public Safety is used for Public Safety.
Infrastructure expenditures typically lead to job creation and are strong economic multipliers, resulting in productivity gains which can bring very low interest rates creating an ideal environment to fund infrastructure projects. Tucson has spent many millions of dollars in building infrastructure that we subsequently allowed to fall into despair due to poor planning, financial management and irresponsible budgetary practices regarding to maintenance.
It is time for a bold, new vision for Tucson's infrastructure policies that focuses attention on the 21st century challenges.
1. I will work with State and local transportation coalitions for ideas on Transportation options.
2. I will work with State and Regional partners to oppose any reduction in HURF funding that should come to Tucson.
3. I will work with Tucson City Staff on Transportation infrastructure maintenance funding needs.
4. I will explore expansion of Transit services (pedestrian, bus and trains)
5. I will support the notion of creating a permanent funding source for Tucson's Transportation system.
I pledge to continue working with and promoting our public and private education institutions throughout the State and Tucson.
1. I will commit my continuing promotion to our K-12, vocational and college/university Workforce Development that will co-locate in school facilities.
2. I will advocate that parents will have the freedom to pursue educational options that fit the individual needs and diverse capabilities of their children.
3. I will continue to support parents with their right for school choice, whether that's to a public school, private school, charter school, home school or any other learning environment parents choose for their children.

I've moved from this branch. Although conveniently located on the north side of Shepherds Bush Green it has an annoying double entry door that doesn't always work very efficiently and it is easy to collide with people even though you're not supposed to be able to. Watch out if you're struggling with a wet umbrella. Why do these places hardly ever have a bucket to deposit them in. Can get super busy in here with a queue that never seems to move. You can also wait a long time to speak to an advisor.

San Antonio man accused in King Jay's death is not the father, mother testifies
The mother of King Jay Davila testified Thursday that the man accused of killing 8-month-old King Jay Davila is not the baby's father, contradicting her claims in a San Antonio Express-News report earlier this month.
The revelation by Jasmine Gonzales came during a bail reduction hearing for Christopher Davila, 34, who is accused of staging an elaborate kidnapping to mislead police about the boy's death.
Asked by prosecutors if Davila is King's father, Gonzales paused before answering.
"No," Gonzales said.
Earlier in the hearing, Gonzales told a judge that her family does not have the money needed to pay a portion of the $1.25 million bail set by a judge in January.
Bob Behrens, Davila's lawyer, said Davila's family would have to come up with $125,000 if they were to pay the standard 10 percent that is charged by a bondsman. He said that amount is excessive, especially considering that Davila is not a flight risk.
"These bonds were set to keep him in jail," Behrens told a judge. "We're asking you to reduce the bonds to an amount the family can afford and remember the purpose of bail is to secure his appearance in court and not to keep him in jail or to punish him."
Prosecutors argued that Davila has a history of not appearing to court in the past and that his ties to the San Antonio-based prison gang Tango Orejon make him a danger to the public.
"We would ask you to focus on the safety of the community," prosecutor Samantha DiMaio said.
Behrens objected to prosecutors claims, pointing out that Davila's criminal history is nearly 10 years old and that Davila is no longer a gang member. Of one of the cases in which Davila is accused of failing to appear in court, Behrens said Davila appeared the following day.
In the end, Magistrate Judge Andrew Carruthers agreed with prosecutors and declined to lower the bail.
The hearing Thursday, which fell on what would have been King's first birthday, was the first time Davila has appeared in court since he was arrested in January.
Prosecutors say Davila injured King in early January after hitting King with an unknown object or hitting King against an unknown object. They say King died because Davila failed to seek medical care for the child.
Earlier this month, a Bexar County grand jury indicted Davila on five different charges, including injury to a child, a first-degree felony punishable up to life in prison.
Davila's mother, Beatrice Sampayo, 64, and his cousin, Angie Torres, 45, were also indicted, accused of helping cover up King's death by staging the kidnapping.
Since he was arrested, Davila has maintained that King died after the car seat holding the boy fell off a bed. He says he did not call 911 because he panicked.
Davila has also maintained that he is King's father, but last month, Jasmine Gonzales' estranged husband told the Express-News he believes he is the boy's father.
"I know that baby boy is my son, not his," Martin Gonzales said during an interview from a prison in Northeast Texas. "That's my blood, I know it."
Martin Goznales said he was stunned to find out that his estranged wife filed court papers last summer seeking to divorce him and declare Davila, her fiancé, the boy's father.
Gonzales said he doesn't remember signing the documents. The papers bear the notary stamp of someone who died almost a year earlier, which would render them invalid.
Jasmine Gonzales declined to comment for the story, except to say Davila is King's father.
"King is me and Christopher's son, not Martin's," Gonzales said at the time. "He didn't even know who King is. He needs to move on."

Working as an elf during the holidays isn't exactly what I had in mind when I moved to the big city to be an actress, but when a job at Marley's Department Store opens up, I take it. I'm supposed to be an elf, but I discover I've got bigger shoes to fill when I find Santa passed out drunk as the kids are lining up to see him. Someone has to play Santa. That someone is me. But when I meet the 'mean' Crane Marley, will I be able to keep up the holiday charade?

Solie and an Irish Poet win Griffin Prize
Congrats to Karen Solie, fast becoming a fixture on the Canadian poetry scene, for her Griffin win. Also, hats off to an Irish poet, who also won. Maybe next time, the paper this links to can feature the International winner's photo instead - or is this the new Olympic Spirit of Grab That Podium or whatever that already-forgotten slogan was from those Winter Olympics? Seriously, 130,000 Canadian dollars is a lot to fork out on two poets, and hopefully over time this prize will lead to people actually reading Canadian poetry somewhere beyond our borders, with anything approaching the love and enthusiasm they show for Scottish and Irish and Australian poets. Canada is becoming a cool place, eh? Now David Cameron wants to borrow our vicious cost-cutting methods from the Chretien years. Will he start speaking in that funny way too?

Reduced risk of venous thromboembolism with the use of intermittent pneumatic compression after craniotomy: a randomized controlled prospective study.
Reduced risk of venous thromboembolism with the use of intermittent pneumatic compression after craniotomy: a randomized controlled prospective study.
OBJECTIVE The term "venous thromboembolism" (VTE) subsumes deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism. The incidence of DVT after craniotomy was reported to be as high as 50%. Even clinically silent DVT may lead to potentially fatal pulmonary embolism. The risk of VTE is correlated with duration of surgery, and it appears likely that it develops during surgery. The present study aimed to evaluate intraoperative use of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) of the lower extremity for prevention of VTE in patients undergoing craniotomy. METHODS A total of 108 patients undergoing elective craniotomy for intracranial pathology were included in a single-center controlled randomized prospective study. In the control group, conventional compression stockings were worn during surgery. In the treatment group, IPC of the calves was used in addition. The presence of DVT was evaluated by Doppler sonography pre- and postoperatively. RESULTS Intraoperative use of IPC led to a significant reduction of VTE (p = 0.029). In logistic regression analysis, the risk of VTE was approximately quartered by the use of IPC. Duration of surgery was confirmed to be correlated with VTE incidence (p < 0.01); every hour of surgery increased the risk by a factor of 1.56. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative use of IPC significantly lowers the incidence of potentially fatal VTE in patients undergoing craniotomy. The method is easy to use and carries no additional risks. ■ CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE Type of question: therapeutic; study design: randomized controlled trial; evidence: class I. Clinical trial registration no.: DRKS00011783 ( https://www.drks.de ).
DVT = deep venous thrombosis; IPC = intermittent pneumatic compression; LMWH = low-molecular-weight heparin; PE = pulmonary embolism; VTE = venous thromboembolism; craniotomy; deep venous thrombosis; intermittent pneumatic compression; venous thromboembolism

For some reason guys get shy at the prospect of approaching and saying hi to women – if you have a crush that you have had your eye on lately and don't have the balls to talk to her read on…
The following video talks about how asian guys should stop being so shy about approaching women outside their race. As well as not being intimidated by black women and their expectations of your size in bed.
Video on asian guys and black women:
Changing The Motive
One of the big reasons why guys are nervous to begin with is because they believe they have some sort of motive that the girl will not be interested in.
Perhaps you have a crush on this amazingly hot girl… your motive is that you want to go out with her or get her number or jump her bones… this becomes obvious in your approach and how you communicate with her. You become so preoccupied with NOT screwing the whole thing up that you forget to connect with her and come across normal.
It becomes an obsession of what could I lose rather than what could I gain… the reality is that you have everything to gain and nothing to lose. But you see it like you have everything to lose by approaching her and very little to gain.
By changing your motivation for approaching her you change the game completely.
No longer does it become a win lose situation with her winning and you losing but just a conversation… just a simple question.
If she is in the library and you have never talked to her before then it's all about making first contact…
You will know much about her life because you are obsessed with her but she wont know you exist yet so it's time to get on her radar…
You remove all sexual tension and weirdness by just asking her one simple question about class homework or the book she is reading… The more normal and boring the better – you can learn to escalate later but right now it's just about coming across as normal as possible.
There will be no phone number or kiss after this conversation… It might just be a passing comment about when homework is due.
If your in a work environment… the question could be related to what needs to be done after lunch.
To eliminate initial rejection anxiety remove the source of the problem… your expectation of result or lack of result!
Later you can use mystery and seduction techniques but right now it's just about getting over that first hurdle.
