This morning I went to a funeral of a dear student I was privileged to know well during my substitute teaching days. She had committed suicide. Everyone I talked to at the funeral kept saying "I don't know why anyone would do such a thing". I would respond in my mind "I do". It's all too familiar to me.
My first attempt...I don't remember my exact age, but I know I was around eight. I went to my dads closet where I knew he kept his guns. They were in a locked metal box, but there was a revolver in a green sock. I got it down from the top shelf and slipped it out of the sock. I was disappointed, it had some kind of lock around the trigger that I couldn't get off. I put the gun back and went back to my room.
It's not about killing yourself. It's about ending the pain. The pain of worthlessness. If I ran away I would still be stuck with me, the only way to really end the pain is to end me.
I would always fantasize about my funeral. My spirit hovering above the crowd to see if anyone would show up. It was kind of a "I told you so" statement. "I told you I was worth something, but none of you could see it. Do you see it now?" My funeral was the only way for me to get the attention, the help, I was screaming for inside myself.
Black Holes and depression are one and the same. Swirling darkness. If happiness attempts to escape it gets sucked back in by the forces of depression, they are much stronger. I would feed on my weaknesses. It was like an obsession finding one fault after another. The whole world seemed to work against me, and there is no way to win. I felt defeated, always. No hope.
My bouts of depression would last weeks. I don't know exactly what would trigger them, and I'm not sure why I would get out of that state of mind either. All I know is that I would promise myself that it would never happen again. That depression is completely selfish (because it is) and that I was over that. Then....I'd get depressed again. And you know what? That demon would whisper in my ear "I'm back. I knew you couldn't get rid of me. You know why? Because you are not strong. Because you are a failure. The fact that you're in this depression proves that you can never get rid of me. You will always be too weak. you will never win." Then somehow I'd conquer it. I would go sometimes a whole year without being depressed thinking I had defeated it, only to fail once more. Each time it got worse. Instead of taking weeks to get me into a suicidal state of mind it would only take days.
The scariest thing is driving. Temptations to purposely crash the car are at every turn. It would be so easy. But what if I lived? That would suck. Then I'd be disabled and really get depressed. Think about that! I didn't want to try to kill myself by crashing my car because I was afraid I would FAIL, that I couldn't even kill myself right. I thought I couldn't do anything right.
It took me until college to go see a psychologist. I was about 23 years old. I was sick of the cycle and I wanted to learn ways to avoid it. It was a great experience. He taught me a lot about myself. I recommend it to everyone.
I got married and we were struggling to get pregnant. I had a B.S. degree and was working at Melaleuca. Soon I learned that they were paying all the men $9.50 and all the women $8.00 for doing the same job. For some reason that really took a toll on me. I was smart. I knew I was. I got straight A's in college. I was also a really hard worker. But I was worthless. No matter how hard I tried I was only worth $8.00/hr to the world. I was a piece of dung. Bitterness and despair took over. I almost sued, but I knew I couldn't win, I was a loser and always would be. My poor husband would come home to a crying wife almost every night. We would go to dinner parties and I would have to excuse myself from the table and step outside because I would start to cry for no reason at all. I was a mess. Then I wanted to run away. But then again where would that get me? I would just struggle somewhere else.
One night I realized that my depression wasn't just affecting me anymore, it was affecting my husband and it would my future children as well. I have witnessed a lot of negative outcomes of children who have severely depressed parents. I didn't want my children to have to deal with that. I finally succumbed to the idea that maybe I did need medication, that I couldn't beat this beast on my own.
I am now on medication and it's working. I want to be on it for the rest of my life. It just takes the edge off. My dose is small so I can still get depressed (which is rare), but at least I wont get suicidal, and that's my goal.
Recently I went to a seminar for depression. I loved the information the speaker gave. I scanned my notes so that you can see the scale he provided. The middle is "normal". To the left is severe depression, to the right is "happiness" which is measured by energy and vitality.
I have been able to help a lot of people with their depression, and you can too.
Someone will never walk up to you and just blurt out that they are suicidal. Before that happens there are a few things you need to do first:
1) Quickly Establish Trusting Relationships
2) Be an Open Book to Everyone
3) Complimenting is a No-No, Just ListenWhen you compliment someone who is truly depressed they are shooting your compliments down. Its like skeet shooting. Their depressed brain is the shotgun and the clay pigeons are your compliments. I don't know why this happens, I just know it does. You will not make them change their minds about themselves or increase their self-esteem by complimenting them. Instead, get them to talk, and keep them talking. By doing this you are helping them feel valued by taking the time to get to know them, and the reasons why they are feeling the way they are feeling. Keep asking probing questions. Dig. Show understanding and love.
4) Get Help
5) Continue to Have an Open Relationship
My favorite description of depression is on this blog: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2013/05/depression-part-two.html WARNING it contains a lot of swear words.

2,000 Words or Less: "The Girl With the Red Book"
Neat and assembled, but not manufactured, not sterile and meaningless in perfection. Cutely matched socks to blouse, young but not juvenile, with that unknowable something instantly recognizable in those who possess it and yet never missed from those who don't. She just was – quiet but noticed, tucked away in a corner and yet unmistakeably at the center.
She sat silently with her book, a red book, a red that matched socks and blouse. Headphones on, streaming distractions from her erroneously purple iPod Nano. Interrupted only by the occasional chirping of a cell phone, demanding seconds to stab out a reply into the text-message ether.
The children arrived with their mother in a three, the first small and quiet, confined to his stroller, the others larger, louder, seeking mastery of their still-developing voices and mobility. Loud calls of "mama," tugs on the robe of a dark-skinned woman with a head scarf, followed by chatter in an indeterminate tongue conjured up half a world away.
The girl with the red book took a moment to examine them, and in a fluid movement withdrew something from under her chair, stood and headed toward the family. By the time she reached them, it was as if she'd known them forever: a lifetime of friendship developed in the three seconds it took her to traverse the row of chairs.
With a smile, she reached into the box she'd almost unconsciously produced from the backpack beneath her chair. To each of the two oldest children, she presented a package of unopened Granola bars.
"These late flights are hard," she said to the mother, who wasn't quite sure what to make of what was happening. "It's not easy to find something for the little ones to eat at this time of night."
The random and unexpected display of kindness from the girl with the red book, socks and blouse at first caught the family off guard. The children shyly accepted the gifts and their mother said "thank you" with a smile. The girl with the red book, smiling as well, was back in her seat and quickly and as fluidly as she had left it; barely 30 seconds had passed.
Then, as if simply to prove this episode not an anomalous and accidental show of compassion for the tiny strangers, just minutes later she again looked up from her book and said "Bless." The young guy, early 20s, who invoked the reaction with a thunderous sneeze was some dozen yards away, was off to her right on the opposite side of the waiting room. He was distant enough from the pleasantry that it took him a few seconds to even realize it was meant for him.
She smiled and returned to her book, pausing only to stab brief replies into the cell phone that continued its occasional demands for attention.
Her seat was right next to mine on the plane. We chatted briefly; I recapped my journey, and she spoke of her return from some unspecified activity in Dallas. She closed her eyes to rest; I made another fruitless attempt to sleep. The plane landed in Minneapolis and as she made her way down the aisle with her luggage, she briefly peeked back over her shoulder and said "It's so late; bless whomever is picking me up tonight. And I hope you can get some good rest."
With that she was gone, off to bless whomever was waiting for her on a rainy curb beyond baggage claim.

If you are looking for a chill hike near Metro Manila, San Miguel, Bulacan is the right place for you. Mt. Manalmon and Mt. Gola is best for chill hikers and beginners. You can hike these two mountains half day and then you can explore and go spelunking in Madlum Cave and Bayukbok Caves.
We first hiked Mt. Gola, which almost at the same level as Mt. Manalmon (196+ MASL). We reached the summit in less than 2 hours. It has an easy trail, just need to be careful with sharp rocks. We descended after 30 minutes and the we proceed to Mt. Manalmon.
Mt. Manalmon has more little assaults than Mt. Gola, and it will give you a better view of Mt. Arayat from afar. We reached the summit also in less than 2 hours, took some photos and descended after 30 minutes.
We still have plenty of time because we finished both mountains at around 11 AM. We decided to have lunch first and then we went straight to Bayukbok Cave 1 & 2.
The most challenging part of this adventure is the spelunking. We first explore the Bayukbok Cave 2 because it is a little easier that Bayukbok Cave 1 but cave 2 has more crawling and sliding. Bayukbok Cave 1 is more challenging because there are rappelling and helicopter ladder trails and more crawling and sliding.
After finishing the cave, we descended back to the jump off point and rest, some of us swam to river and crossed the monkey bridge and did some photo ops.
We've had so much fun and this adventure is really worth it!
Here's a suggested itinerary if you are planning to go here for a day trip adventure.
PS: You might want to hire a private van if you are a group of 12-15 members so that you will not have a problem finding a ride back home.
Suggested Itinerary
0300 Cubao – Jollibee (Farmers) (Assembly)
0400 ETD to San Miguel Bulacan
0730 ETA Brgy. Kamias, San Miguel; take tricycle to jump-off
0800 Arrive at jump-off; register and get guides at community
0900 Start trek
1030 ETA summit of Mt. Manalmon; take pictures
1100 Start descent
1200 Back at community; lunch
1300 Visit Madlum and Bayukbok Caves
1530 Swim at Madlum river
1700 Back at jump-off; proceed back to Brgy. Kamias
1740 ETD Manila
2000 ETA Manila
Guides (Required): Php 300.00/Guide/Mountain
Caving: Php 40.00/Pax/Cave
Parking Fee: Php 25.00/Van
Registration Fee: Php 10.00/Pax
Van: Php 5,000/van can accommodate 15-16 pax
Update There's an additional Php 20.00 fee before you can proceed to the jump off/registration area. This is being mandate by the local officials.
We had 4 guides since we are 32 pax.
4 Guides (Php 300.00 x 2 Mountains) = Php 2,400.00
Php 2,400.00 / 32 Pax = Php 75.00/pax
Additional Php 40.00/pax/cave. Since we visited 2 caves, that would be additional Php 80.00/pax for two caves.
So our total guide fee per pax is Php 155.00
We hired two vans since we are a big group. The price of the van we hired is Php 5,000.00 each, so That would be Php 10,000 for two vans that accommodates 16 pax each.
So, Php 10,000.00/32 = Php 312.50 + the food of the driver (Php 150.00/driver = 300)
Total cost of transportation + Driver meal = Php 325.00*/pax
Grand total of our expenses/pax
Guide Fee + Transportation Fee + Registration Fee = Php 490.00*
Van Contact Number
Van For Hire – +63 906 339 5064

text: Indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel diseases...if your belly always seems to be in an uproar, try munching 18 ounces of fish weekly to ease your misery. Repeated studies show that the fatty acids in fish, called EPA and DHA, can significantly reduce intestinal inflammation, cramping and belly pain and, in some cases, provide as much relief as corticosteroids and other prescription meds. "EPA and DHA are powerful, natural, side effect-free anti-inflammatories, that can dramatically improve the function of the entire gastrointestinal tract," explains biological chemist Barry Sears, Ph.D., president of the Inflammation Research Foundation in Marblehead, MA. For best results, look for oily fish like salmon, sardines, tuna, mackerel, trout and herring.

For all the positive adjectives you could apply to F-Troupe's footwear collections, the biggest compliment you could pay to the brand is to call it 'quintessentially British'. Founded in 2003 by Mick Hoyle, the brand's flagship store is nestled just behind the chain stores of busy Carnaby Street. Hoyle's designs take inspiration from Britain's unique ability to combine functionality with whimsy – lace up brogues that marry zebra printed leather and sheer mesh, wedges adorned with brightly colored madras checks, to name a few of F-Troupe's inventive combinations. Alongside the selection of shoes, treasures acquired by Hoyle during recent trips both far and wide give the shop great personality and serve as unique mementos for anyone chancing upon the shop. Worth the visit, F-Troupe won't be considered off the path for long.Show lessRead moreMegan Schertler

Think before your next drink, and use only as directed on the label
HEALTH warnings will appear on most beer, wine and spirit products today as a result of a liquor industry decision to take voluntary measures after years of government dithering.
The warnings, aimed at young people, pregnant women and problem drinkers, will be carried by alcohol products representing 80 per cent of the market, including supermarket brands.
The interchangeable warnings are: ''Is your drinking harming yourself or others?'', ''Kids and alcohol don't mix'' and ''It is safest not to drink while pregnant''. A pictogram of a pregnant woman drinking is also available.
The labels have been developed by the industry-funded educational organisation DrinkWise Australia and the liquor industry.
A decision on government-mandated warning labels is not expected until at least the end of the year. That follows several calls from experts for warning labels in recent years culminating in the recommendation made by an advisory committee in January.
The new warning on pregnancy is less explicit than the US version, which warns of the risk of ''birth defects''.
The National Health and Medical Research Council declares that ''maternal alcohol consumption can harm the developing foetus or breastfeeding baby''.
The chairwoman of DrinkWise Australia, Trish Worth, said the move was not a bid to pre-empt government measures as DrinkWise had been working on the idea since early 2008.
An obstetrician, Alex Welsh, welcomed the warnings as a way of highlighting the risks of alcohol. It was wisest for women to avoid alcohol when they were planning a baby, were pregnant or breastfeeding, but they should discuss this issues with their doctor, said Professor Welsh, NSW chairman of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
The psychiatric leader Ian Hickie said the latest research left no doubt that delaying teenagers' initiation to alcohol was the right approach. ''From a brain science point of view, you would not mix alcohol and a teenage brain at any period,'' said Professor Hickie, the director of Sydney University's Brain and Mind Research Institute.
About 14 countries, including the US, France and Germany, have mandatory health warnings on alcohol.
In Australia, the warnings will be carried by the three biggest brewers, Foster's, Lion and Coopers and virtually all big wine and spirit brands including Jacob's Creek, Wyndham Estate, Bundaberg Rum and Gordon's Gin.
The chief executive of Fosters, John Pollaers, said the agreement involving the liquor companies was a major breakthrough.
For Jimmy Lin, a restaurant manager, the warnings would do little to stop his drinking; they were not the graphic warnings of cigarette packs, and they were not things he didn't already know.

Private Functions
Rather like weddings, if you are planning a birthday or anniversary party you are likely to be inviting family members of all age groups. You will also find that it is an occasion that brings people together that might not have seen each other for a while and so it will be quite a 'social' occasion where people will want to converse and so you need to choose your entertainment with this in mind.
A classy swing singer or swing band is perfect for these occasions as it is inclusive to all age groups and tends not to rely on high volume which may alienate many of your guests. You have possibly been to many functions where guests have been unable to hear themselves talk and have left early because the music was too loud. 'Disco' music is perfectly acceptable towards the end of the evening after many of your guests, who may have a distance to travel, may have already left. Prior to that, music which appeals to all your guests will help to make everyone feel included in your event.
Unlike weddings which can occasionally last all day and evening with unpredictable timescales, a birthday party, Bar Mitsvah, wedding anniversary or other celebration will be easier to manage and tailor your entertainment needs accordingly.
For example, you may wish to start with a dinner during which I can arrange for some background music to be playing through my PA system, engage a cocktail pianist or indeed perform as a swing vocalist as background music to the meal to create a good atmosphere. Alternatively you may wish to start with a drinks reception as people arrive and then have some food later in the evening during my performance interval.
Whatever your preference I can help you to timetable your evening to ensure that the music flows naturally throughout and that your main entertainment is arranged for when all of your guests are able to enjoy it.
Corporate Events & Dinner Dances
Whether it be a party or an awards dinner for your employees or a drink reception / dinner for your clients, I can put together a music package that will complement your evening perfectly. Similar if you are a venue offering members of the public tickets to a dinner & dance event then I can help you to theme it accordingly with entertainment to match.
A classy swing vocalist is the perfect selection for a 'Las Vegas', 'Rat Pack', 'Manhattan' or 'Hollywood' themed event, where 'dressing to impress' is part of the attraction when people can look their best and feel that they are at a special and sophisticated function.
Unless you require music as background to a dinner or a drinks receptions, the general theme of my party repertoire is to keep things cheerful, lively and up tempo, with just a few slow numbers thrown in for good measure.
Each function is different and I tend to select the songs on the day from the list below that I think will best suit the mood and atmosphere of your occasion. Some clips of the songs in gold lettering can be sampled on my Soundcloud channel by clicking on them.

Tenneco Inc. (ticker: TEN, exchange: New York Stock Exchange) News Release
November 1, 2007
Lake Forest, Illinois, November 1, 2007 – Tenneco Inc. (NYSE: TEN) announced today that it has commenced a cash tender offer for up to $230,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 10-1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2013 (CUSIP No. 880349AD7). Tenneco is launching this tender offer and consent solicitation as part of a transaction designed to reduce the company's interest expense, extend the maturity of some of its debt and to amend the indenture for the Notes to more closely align debt covenants among the company's various tranches of notes.
The total consideration per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 15, 2007, unless extended (the "Consent Date"), will be calculated based on the present value on the payment date of the sum of $1,051.25 (the earliest redemption price for the Notes on June 15, 2008, which is the earliest redemption date for the Notes), plus interest payments through June 15, 2008, determined using a discount factor equal to the yield on the price determination date of the 5-1/8% U.S. Treasury Note due June 30, 2008, plus a fixed spread of 50 basis points. The price determination date will be 2:00 p.m., New York City time, at least ten business days prior to the expiration date. The payment date will be promptly after the expiration date.
The tender offer is scheduled to expire at midnight, New York City time, on November 30, 2007, unless extended. Accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the payment date will be paid on all Notes tendered and accepted for payment.
The tender offer is for a maximum of $230,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes (the "Maximum Tender Amount"). In the event that the tender offer is oversubscribed, tenders will be accepted on a pro rata basis. Tenneco reserves the right, but is not obligated, to increase the Maximum Tender Amount.
The total consideration includes a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. Only Notes that are tendered on or prior to the Consent Date and that are accepted for payment will receive the Consent Payment. The Company is soliciting consents to conform certain covenants in the indenture governing the Notes to make them no more restrictive than comparable provisions applicable to the Company's 8.625% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014, including with respect to the incurrence of indebtedness and the absence of limitation on issuances and transfers of restricted subsidiary stock and to make other minor or related modifications.
The tender offer is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver prior to the acceptance date of customary conditions, including the following: (i) Tenneco having received from the offer and sale of new indebtedness, on terms and conditions acceptable to it in its sole discretion, funds sufficient to consummate the offer; and (ii) the receipt of the requisite consents required to implement the proposed amendments to the indenture from holders of the senior secured notes.
The complete terms and conditions of the tender offer and consent solicitation are described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement of the Company dated November 1, 2007, copies of which may be obtained by contacting Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the information agent for the offer, at (212) 430-3774 (collect) or (866) 873-5600 (U.S. toll-free).

Research and consulting specialists Africa House will lead a high-level business delegation to Kenya's Lamu region next month, to position South African business to take advantage of a projected development boom in the area.
Paul Runge, Director Projects and Development Finance at Africa House, says Africa House's ongoing research and fact finding missions have identified Kenya's Lamu region and the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport (LAPSSET) East African trade corridor as a future development hotspot, due to oil and gas discoveries and an associated need for infrastructure and port development in the area over the next few years.
"On the back of decades of experience in leading business missions to key development nodes across Africa, we have refined our formula for success," says Runge.
"It is crucial to get in early and meet the primary decision-makers in government and industry, as early as possible in the planning phase."
Kenya is regarded as a prime African business destination, with significant growth potential for transport and logistics development in the north. Among the massive infrastructure upgrading and extension projects envisaged by the Kenya Investment Authority are redevelopment of the Northern Corridor and development of the LAPSSET Corridor.
Runge, who has just returned from a fact finding and preparatory trip to Kenya, has identified significant opportunities in Lamu and the LAPSSET Corridor for enterprises involved in port development, access roads, oil refinery supply, oil pipeline, ports infrastructure, airport infrastructure and ancillary services.
"Opportunities extend to services around a coal fired power plant, a planned wind farm, a rail transport system and even commercial property development, accommodation and resorts that will be required in these areas," he says.
"Travelling as a temporary consortium to meet the authorities and key decision-makers in Nairobi as well as operations authorities on the ground in Lamu, allows the Africa House business mission delegates to form partnerships that give weight to their business propositions. The mission strategy is very much about vertical integration – you have the suppliers, contractors, consultants and pre-feasibility teams, then overarching everything, you have legal, financial and logistics services."
The five-day mission will take South Africa-based business development managers and senior strategic executives to Nairobi and Lamu for exploratory meetings and site visits.
"Africa House hosts two to three successful business missions per year to key development regions across Africa," says Runge.
"The group mission format takes care of complicated logistical arrangements for delegates, as well as allowing delegates to be taken more seriously because they are part of a formal mission supported by the Kenyan and South African authorities. The programme also supports networking and business collaboration among the members of the mission themselves."
"South African enterprises have to look across the border for growth, but logistical challenges and concerns about the unknown can stand in the way of their taking the first steps into pan-Africa. By participating in group experience, and representing various capabilities, businesses start from a position of strength and gain access to the right decision-makers," Runge says.
Africa House will lead the Nairobi/Lamu/LAPSSET mission from 10 – 15 July 2016. The mission will meet facilitators and diplomats, LAPSSET Corridor Development Authority, the Kenya Ports and National Highways Authorities, African Development Bank, Tullow Oil Kenya and other stakeholders.

« Bono the Covenant Theologian | Main | David Wells on "Churchless Christianity" »
Learning from People with Bad Theology
I don't know how many times I've heard something like this: "So-and-so believes such-and-such, so I'm not going to read any of his books!" The idea, I think, is that if someone believes something wrong in one area, then you shouldn't rely on what he or she has to say in other areas. Apparently the one bad area taints the rest of it all.
So, for example, N. T. Wright's ideas about justification earn him a boycott from reformed Christians—or at least his books don't get a decent recommendation, even the ones that have nothing to do with justification. Or, for another example, Robert Capon gets quoted on a reformed website, and emails fly in demanding that the quote be removed because of Capon's views in an entirely different area than that which the quote addresses. Nevermind that the quote in itself was a brilliant illustration of the Gospel!
[I wish I could write a whole book about this problem, but no one would read a blog entry of that length. So I'll keep what I have to say concise, knowing that much more explanation could be given in support.]
This attitude is sinful.
Each and every Christian has something wrong with his or her theology. That's true whether you actually believe it or just say you do out of false modesty. To say you can't learn from and respect someone who's got something wrong with his theology, someone just like you, is blind arrogance.
It's also unbelief, and reformed Christians should know better. We're supposed to be the ones who have a big focus on the general revelation and common grace of God! If we can't see that even the most antagonistic heretics sometimes have something good to say, and take that for what it is—the gift of God—then we don't believe what Calvin believed, and we don't believe the Scriptures.
It's also an attempt to justify or feel good about ourselves before God. When you reject a person because of something that person says, you're building a "holiness hedge." You don't want to be influenced by sinful ideas, because you figure if you have perfect ideas about everything, you'll be okay. You're saying, with Eve, "I'm not supposed to look at the tree," when God only said you can't eat from it.
The solution lies in being willing and able to discern between good and evil in what someone has to say, to embrace the good and reject the evil. Also, we must not respond with hate, but goodwill and respect toward those with whom we disagree. The willingness and humility to do these things comes with believing the Gospel. God, out of sheer grace, did not completely destroy the reasoning faculty of mankind when humankind sinned against him in Adam and Eve. Non-Christians can think! Christians with imperfect theology have something to contribute!
The fact is that we reformed Christians need our minds transformed by Christ every bit as much as a pagan sinner or as an almost-Orthodox Christian. Sometimes God even transforms our minds through the words of people with bad theology. That means that we don't get to say to anyone "I refuse to learn from you."
Excellent comment. If I had not read books from those who I believed had bad theology, I would never have read Spurgeon, Calvin, Edwards, Pink, and Luther. What I believed to be Bad Theology, has turned out to be VERY GOOD Theology.
If we only read those whom we think have our point of view, then we might just fail to come to the truth.
And even those who do have a different point of view from us, have other views which have been good for us to understand.
A friend of mine was one of the writers of the recent book "Reinventing Jesus". He was sharing with me that when he had something positive to say about NTWs perspective on the resurrection (considered by many one of the best defences of it ever), there was a torrent of criticism, some extremely harsh. Rome and NTW are indeed wrong on justification and this is something that must be confronted. On the other hand Wright clearly demonstrates how theology can benefit from historical study and does have some important things to say that I have not seen much of elsewhere. I have personally benefitted from his books, of which I have read many. But at the same time I would want to really caution anyone when reading them because where there is error it is more pronounced and in more important areas than others who also have errors but not at such a critical juncture in theology (justification or the gospel). It is a delicate balance, one that I have to consider almost every day as I build monergism.com.
A agree the spirit and letter of your post ...thanks for your thoughs.
John: Absolutely, justification is a bigger deal than many other issues, and we must scrutinize thoroughly that which we read. We don't get to relax in life, but must always be on our guard, vigilant, etc.
Thanks for your positive comments on NTW—I personally haven't read much of his work, but most of that which I have read has been good, in my estimation. It's good to be able to say that about someone whom a lot of people in our circles might consider taboo.
I am having some problems accepting your thoughts as posted. I readily agree that nobody has a corner on the truth - we all are imperfect creatures. Never having read any book by N.T. Wright I may not be qualified to comment, but on the other hand I have read much on the New Perspective by authors I trust. I must admit I am very wary about reading anything by N.T. Wright when I know he is wrong on justification - probably the key issue in Christianity. I have piles of books I hope to read someday and only have a finite period of time to read them, therefore I choose to read books that come highly recommended by those whose judgement I trust or authors I know to be well respected and orthodox. My brother loves N.T. Wright and is frustrated that I haven't read any of his books, but as I said, once I finish off the one hundred or so I have piled around my bedroom that I know will be edifying to me I may consider picking up something by the likes of N.T. Wright.
Eric, you made the comment that you'd like to write a whole book on this problem why don't you? If this blog post is an indication I am sure it would be a fascinating read.
I guess one of the issues is that when you put someone's quote onto a website or something folks tend to think you endorse that person and not just the quote.
Todd: I completely understand the need to prioritize reading according to time available and worthy content. And there's nothing wrong with being wary of reading Wright's stuff—we should be wary when we read anything aside from Scriptures! But fear shouldn't prevent us from learning from anyone, if we believe that the potentially good things they might have to offer are granted by God in his common grace.
Theologian: A little more to the point is whether you're endorsing everything that person has to say by quoting from him in one area on which you agree. That's hardly ever intended, but unfortunately that's what people usually think when you quote from sources that seem questionable in their minds.
Thank you for this post. I don't know how many times I have been castigated by well-meaning brothers and sisters in Christ for reading someone who is not 100% Reformed.
Given how many people today are floating in murky theological waters, not having grown up in any particular church and being very hesitant to lable anything "right" or "wrong" without giving a fair hearing to all sides...how can these people know that they should read certain authors before others? Someone who's read much Reformed, orthodox theology could benefit from NTW's historical perspectives while weeding out his "critical realistic" look at justification...but someone new to the faith might accept the whole NTW package, especially since he's such a clear, eloquent, and prolific writer.
How are these people to know where to even begin? Or which recommendations are trustworthy?
That's a great point.
Bill: That is a good question. How did it happen for you? I guess my advice would be the same way it happened for me—1) read the Bible, 2) go to a church where the Bible is important, 3) hang out with friends who read the Bible.
God's Spirit uses his Word to transform our thinking enough to be able to discern between what is right and wrong in whatever else we might read. Interaction with church and friends helps also, as people read various things and start making suggestions to each other.
If someone "floating in murky theological waters" were to begin doing this, and asking God's help, I wouldn't be too afraid of his or her growth in theological discernment, though obviously my advice isn't some magical way to perfection in this area. God has mercy on whom he has mercy, and that includes our ability to think about what we read.
So how much New Age philosophy dressed up as Christian belief must we burden ourselves with before speaking out? Should we risk sounding arrogant, but point out error anyway? As in the days of Jesus followers are a soft target for those who have ideas about Christianity that are totally in error of Biblical teaching, and like Jesus himself, we are open to ridicule. The truth is in the Bible for all to read. That truth doesn't always suit everyone who reads it and thus they interpret it to suit. Timothy hits the nail on the head when he writes:
2 Timothy 4:3-4 NIV.
"For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.â€

Son of Rambow - Garth Jennings interview
Interview by Rob Carnevale
GARTH Jennings talks about directing the labour of love that was Son of Rambow, what he did or didn't learn from the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy experience and why getting Sylvester Stallone's endorsement was the icing on the cake.
He also discusses the film's path to release, from Sundance to the London Film Festival, and why the pressure has started to cease as it finally gets a release.
Q. You've kind of arrived at Son of Rambow in reverse, by which I mean you did your big film first [Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy] and then went to a much smaller film…
Garth Jennings: Yes but we'd never intended to. We'd got Son of Rambow ready and even began casting it. But then Hitchhiker's turned up on our desk and it was too good an opportunity to refuse. But certainly as far as career paths go, so far it's been fairly wonky [laughs].
Q. Did working on such a big film provide you with a lot of experience and lessons to bring to Son of Rambow? Did you learn a lot from the experience?
Garth Jennings: Actually, no. I think what we learned from the big film was that we don't need half as many people as we seemed to have around us. We'd done so many music videos and had developed a very hands-on kind of working style and a team of people that we were very confident to work with in all the other departments that going on to Hitchhiker's we suddenly inherited from the studio an awful lot of things that we thought we needed, but with hindsight realised that we could have done with in own simple way and still come out with the same thing… if not more. We'd just have been more of a commando unit, I suppose. So, we just went back to that when we did Son of Rambow. We couldn't have afforded a big crew anyway, but it's just so much more fun to be actually doing things yourself rather than being behind a monitor where everything has an assistant to the assistant taking care of everything for you. For instance, we got rid of all the playback units. No one could watch anything back. There was nothing. You just had to sit and watch next to the camera just like the good old days.
Q. I imagine that you felt the pressure of opening a big movie like Hitchhiker's, with all of its box office expectation, but is Son of Rambow more nerve-wracking for you given that it's such a personal film?
Garth Jennings: I tell you when I was really worried out it… that's when it was first ever shown in Sundance [in 2007]. We'd only finished it the week before, so no one had seen it. We cut it over here, watched it here and so were terrified that it's first public screening was going to be at such a prestigious and important event like Sundance – because that was hopefully where we would sell it. And because of the whole process of mixing and all that stuff, we'd seen it so many times ourselves that we really thought we'd ruined it. So, that was terrifying. But when it played, about halfway through we knew it was going the way we wanted it to [with audiences]. But we could still never have predicted the deal that followed. It was marvellous.
Since then, because of all the legal requirements that were required [with the name etc], we were able to take the film to a number of other festivals in some really lovely places and got that wonderful reaction that we wanted it to get. We'd been making it for that reason. So, in a way, no one knows what it can do at the box office but I don't feel I need to judge it by that, which is quite nice. I now know that the film works. I don't have any control over whether people will go and see it. But we've done our bit.
Q. I imagine that securing the endorsement of Sylvester Stallone [the original Rambo] was also a lovely feeling?
Garth Jennings: It was great, especially as he was the reason we started making films. We thought: "Let's make one of his films…" And that becomes your career and then you end up making a film about the effect his film had on you personally, so to have him say "I like it" [mimics Stallone] was really great.
Q. He recently raved about it while in the UK promoting the latest Rambo…
Garth Jennings: Did he really?
Q. He said he'd be happy to do anything he could to support it…
Garth Jennings: Oh that's great. You've got to love him. Even though I wasn't that mad on Rambo 4… I thought it was kind of a bonkers movie. But I still can't help but love him.
Q. As such a huge fan of the original Rambo, did you find yourself getting excited when he announced that he'd be revisiting the character again?
Garth Jennings: I didn't actually. I had that thing of… you know when your dad tries to show off? You're like: "Dad, don't do that in front of my friends!" But then again he'd handled it really well with Rocky 6 because he really did play on the fact that was big, he'd lost it and was out. There was never any attempt to make out that he still had it. Whereas with Rambo, I felt that he couldn't still be a deadly assassin. And all those things like the British commando [mimics the shouting and laughs out loud]… it was like "oh dear". Saying that, it is what it is… but I still love that first one. It's a cracking good film.
Q. How easy was it to find the boys, Will Poulter and Bill Milner, because they really are key to its success?
Garth Jennings: They are and everyone knows it as well. You can write the best script and have the best cinematography and all the tricks but if they're not right – and they're the hardest thing to get right – you might as well not bother. It took five months to find them and we were going to the drama groups in schools and after-school theatre clubs, places like that. It just took ages but once we found them it was the easiest decision. We'd found good kids but then they walked through independently and it was a classic case of: "Well, he looks exactly how we imagined he would look…" Neither of them had any previous experience and they were always asking things like: "So what do I do? What's going on? How will I know to start talking?"
But it was really lovely because they were really naive and yet really confident in themselves. They come from really solid families who aren't interested in pushing them. They were equally curious to come along and see what it is that people had invited them to. And that was great because if you haven't got the pushy parents, that means you're dealing with a really solid kid. When they go home at night they have the right kind of backup; not like: "This is your career…" That would be awful because they'd be much more self-conscious and you wouldn't get what you end up with in our film, which is two lovely people just becoming great friends. And that's what they've become in real-life; they're best mates. It's amazing to shoot something like that because you can just see it going down onto the camera. They had it. They're so easy to watch.
Q. Did you find yourself being over-protective of them during some of the more physical stuff?
Garth Jennings: Not really, no. Partly because I would have loved to have done the physical stuff myself as a kid [laughs] and partly because they were loving it as well! It was kind of like: "Go on then, in you go!" Actually, sometimes they'd say: "It's a little bit cold in here [the lake]…" But I'd be: "Get in! You're alright!" [Laughs] It was more like being with your own kids, saying: "You're fine, it's summer, get in there…" Of course they had their families and guardians, so no one was ever out of their depth or in any danger.
Q. Finally, if you could revive anything else from the '80s what would it be?
Garth Jennings: Ooh, I don't know. I just like the music… the trouble is they are reviving the '80s. They're doing it all the time. Do you know what? I'm really happy for it to be where it was. I'm happy for it to stay in the '80s and to do something else now. I think I'm done with that.

Embryonic Gene Nanog Reverses Aging in Adult Stem Cells
The fountain of youth may reside in an embryonic stem cell gene named Nanog. In a series of experiments at the University at Buffalo, the gene kicked into action dormant cellular processes that are key to preventing weak bones, clogged arteries and other telltale signs of growing old. The findings also show promise in counteracting premature aging disorders such as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. "Our research into Nanog is helping us to better understand the process of aging and ultimately how to reverse it," says Stelios T. Andreadis, PhD, professor and chair of the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the UB School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and the study's lead author. To battle aging, the human body holds a reservoir of nonspecialized cells that can regenerate organs. These cells are called adult stem cells, and they are located in every tissue of the body and respond rapidly when there is a need. But as people age, fewer adult stem cells perform their job well, a scenario which leads to age-related disorders. Reversing the effects of aging on adult stem cells, essentially rebooting them, can help overcome this problem. In the study, Panagiotis Mistriotis, a graduate student in Andreadis' lab and first author of the study, introduced Nanog into aged stem cells. He found that Nanog opens two key cellular pathways: Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) and Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β). In turn, this jumpstarts dormant proteins (actin) into building cytoskeletons that adult stem cells need to form muscle cells that contract. Force generated by these cells ultimately helps restore the regenerative properties that adult stem cells lose due to aging.

I was so diappointed that the coupons are only good for sizes newborn to 2. My son needs 4's now so my deal this week won't be quite as sweet. Dang it! And after seeing all the previews this weekend I was so excited to get really, really cheap or free diapers!

Since getting familiar with Walgreens and CVS deals, I have found that Walgreens is more favorable.
Great job, and thanks for sharing this week's deals.
The BOGO coupon is no longer available, but it's still free product!

Just an FYI. The Walgreens I went to was out of Natural Fit size 4's and the manager let me use the $5(gentle care) coupons on 3 packs of snug and dry diapers. Which meant I got 4 additional diapers/pack and an extra $2 off/pack than I was planning. It never hurts to ask:)

About the coffeemate coupon....can you only print it twice per computer or does it ever get reset? Does anyone know? I printed it awhile back and it has yet to let me print it again.... would love some free creamer at Walgreens this week!

Kygo & Ella Henderson - Wildest Dreams (Taylor Swift Cover)
Well, the tears of happiness I cried when I heard this can probably speak better than my dumb words can. To paraphrase every Buzzfeed "article" in existence, this cover is...EVERYTHING. I'm serious guys. Run do not walk, and play this on repeat forever. Firstly, Ella Henderson has more soul in her gel manicure than Taylor Swift does in her entire body. I know this because a) her voice sounds one million times better and b) Taylor Swift did not climb her way to the top by being full of soul. She clawed her way there by being dead inside!!! Secondly, the scaled back approach to covering this song is a smart move. It lets Ella's perfect voice dominate and also adds an additional layer of melancholy. I feel like I'm mourning the loss of my Notebook lover when I hear this, and the truth is I've never even loved a dog.*** Also KYGO is here. When I saw his name in the title I admit I was expecting the full tropical house treatment. The fact that instead he brought Birdy-esque piano makes me love him even more. Truly a great pairing. God bless BBC Live Lounge. Except for the time you allowed Katy Perry to cover Niggas in Paris. For this I can never forgive you.
***jk, my dog was perfect and I loved her as much as drunk girls love selfies and crying. Humans are the worst though, and I would gladly trade most of them for a lifetime Netflix subscription. And that's cheap as fuck so you know I'm not messing around.

Catalyzing Gender Equality: Focused clean energy development in West Africa
The ECOWAS Regional Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) partnered with the Clean Energy Solutions Center (Solutions Center), the African Development Bank and other institutions to develop a Situation Analysis of Energy and Gender Issues in ECOWAS Member States. Through a systematic approach to assess interlinked gender and energy issues in the region, the report puts forth a number of key findings. In particular, the analysis finds that women in the region continue to be less represented within the energy decision-making sphere and energy access challenges often negatively impact their human rights. Further, the study reveals that although women will be disproportionately more affected by climate change, they possess relatively limited influence on key decisions related to climate change mitigation and adaptation. This finding reiterates the need for gender equality to be integrated as a critical step to combat climate change, as articulated by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

God didn't make us like everything else. We are special to him. When he created man, he made us in his image – out of love. He wanted us to be like him so he could have a relationship with us. After creating us in his image, he saw that it was very good. Not just OK, very good.
Remember that when you look in the mirror and see nothing but your flaws. God made every part of you, and he doesn't make mistakes. He sees every flaw, but he still loves you! He doesn't compare you to anyone else, so why should you?! He made you unique and you were born just when and where he wanted you. When you wish for a prettier face or a thinner body or a whole new life… You are focusing on the wrong things! Look in the mirror again and find something that you DO like. Look in the mirror without comparing yourself to anyone else. Those eyes, that nose, that mouth – they are all God's creation and he loves you. Focus more on him and the gift of life that he gave you, and less on your insecurities. Shift your self-image from your physical imperfections to finding his qualities in you. When you begin to see the beauty and the good inside yourself and others, then you will know that you have your Father's eyes.
When I am feeling less than perfect, I will pray:
Thank you, Lord, for giving me the miracle of life, and for blessing me with good health and a body that functions the way it is supposed to! Please help me to accept my body just the way it is and to make good choices for my health. And help me to have confidence in knowing that you made me just the way you wanted me – from every strand of hair on the top of my head, to the freckle on the bottom of my foot! And that you gave me everything I need to fulfill your plan for me.
Today's Scripture:
Genesis 1:26-31a NIV
26 Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food." And it was so.
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.

Out of job, broke and in debt I discovered a betting secret that changed my entire life! Hi, my name is Rotimi Alabi from wikendbet.com ...And the secrets I'm about to drop on your laps are so effective that owners of online football betting sites would kill to make sure you never ever discover them in your Whole life.
Not just that, this absolutely effective HIDDEN system has made me over 3.6 million naira in the last 5 months alone and if you give me a few minutes of your time I am going to show you exactly how you too can be able to get the exact same results I got from online football betting.
This information is not available anywhere else……….So I urge you to read every word of this article because the secret that can single-handedly turn your desires into reality is hidden in this web page – and I don't want you to miss it.
Here now, I'll expose the truth on how you can really make money with football betting that this guys have been hiding from you.
You see, online football betting is costing you more money than you are making from it. Every week you place bets and keep losing money like a basket with water in it. While Bet9ja and Nairabet on the other hand, keep making millions from your losses.
You just go out and place bets blindly based on gut-feelings and guess work, sometimes you bet because you feel like betting. So you keep losing because you neither have the required knowledge nor some basic skills SUCCESSFUL bettors who make a nice living out of football betting have.
And that's why…
….owners of this betting companies get richer, fly first class with your money, buy new cars for their wives and send their kids to big schools from your hard earned money which you keep losing to them. Heck, they know you will keep losing because they have designed EVERYTHING to ensure that you keep losing. Trust me, they have.
… and you'll continue losing because of two primary reasons:
• A get-rich-quick mentality which feeds on greed.
• A degree of ignorance when it comes to a deep understanding of how sports betting really works.
In fact, I used to lose lots of money betting online.
Let me tell you my story….
You see, I first started betting in Port-Harcourt 7 years ago purely out of fun.
At first I started with petty amounts….I would place a bet with 1000 naira and then go ahead to accumulate over 15 games hoping to win 1 million naira.
Every time I kept losing this money when I bet online.
As in, I lost every single penny. I even went up as high as betting with ten thousand, and I kept losing. At a point online betting turned from being fun to becoming some form of obsession. I believed I was going to win big someday so I didn't care much about those losses.
The more I lost the more I kept placing the bets because I had hope. But that big win I was hoping for never came. Three games would cut the whole thing. Sometimes two, sometimes one – and the few ones that finally enters comes like once in many losses.
At a point, I realized I just had to pause and figure out a way to start making money from this thing.
Because my losses were far too much.
One day, out of the blues, just out of dumb luck….I placed a bet with 1000 naira and won 50,000 naira.
My hope came back again. And all of a sudden I forgot the over 600,000 naira in losses that have hit me over the months – just because I won a mere 50k.
But deep down, I started asking myself what I can do to constantly and consistently make this 50,000 naira every single week – from investing in football betting. Could there be a way? How can i make a respectable side income out of football betting? I kept asking.
I prayed for luck. But it was so silly that I laugh at myself now thinking back on how I had actually believed I would make 50,000 naira weekly out of sheer luck.
I knew I needed something more realistic.
I needed a reliable bet plan that always works.
I realized that the reason I was losing so much money betting online was because I was depending so much on LUCK when I should see online football betting purely as the business it is.
Because, trust me – it is a business.
There is no much difference between online football betting, forex trading and the stock market. All of them deal with uncertainties. But then, in the stock and forex market anybody with the "RIGHT KNOWLEGDE" and the will to act promptly on good information would make far more money than another investor who just invests blindly.
Exact same principle works well with football betting.
Having access to 'useful information", the ability to analyze it better and ACT TIMELY on it is crucial to your success in football betting.
I'll tell you something you might not have realized yet.
"If what you're doing now isn't giving you the kind of money you need out of betting, it surely won't do any better in the future because you are not doing something right".
I realized that unless I learnt how to treat football bets as the business it is, I will always lose money – big time. This was when I began thinking about focusing on progressive success rather than one killer big win that may never happen.
I started studying the art of making money from football betting. I tried to get books on the subject, but there were no quality ones. The few ones I managed to read were either a bunch of crap or not really easy to understand. So i ended up taking 5 online courses worth over a hundred thousand naira on how to make money from online betting.
Then I sat down and started applying all I have learnt, trying to link them together so I can come up with a fool proof system that would cut out all the hard work and make me the kind of money I had always wished for from football betting.
I must say, this was initially difficult…but I was determined that Nairabet must pay me back all I had lost.
I tried and researched but every single time I kept failing to come up with this perfect system.
Till one fateful day, almost out of mistake, I discovered a powerful and effective set of techniques that I use on online bet websites to make money betting on football in a completely different way from what everyone else was doing.
These tricks were so damn effective that it made me 1.7 million naira in just a few months of using it. And here is the best part –if this can work for my wife Kehinde who doesn't even know anything about football then it would work for YOU because these stuffs are so easy to learn that ANYONE can do it.
Why am I telling you all this?
I'm not telling you this to brag about my personal successes – there are far too many people already blinding their readers with such information. I'm telling you all these because I want you to realize where I'm coming from. I know exactly how sad and frustrating it could be when games cut and you lose bets day after day. I've personally been there too. But if I could make over 3.6 million naira easily and effortlessly in the last four months from football betting, then you can make as much too. Trust me, I'm not smarter than you, you really can.
Now come with me I need to show you something….
What if I show you….

What to do to start making 50,000 or more from online football betting, starting from tomorrow.

A number of persons recently got their hands on the e-book. Here are some of their remarkable stories. By the way I didn't ask for these. As soon as people started using my techniques these testimonials started to pour in from the depth of their hearts.
Here is another
Why am I doing this, you're probably wondering?
Since it is making me so much money why am I not hiding this secrets and using it just myself. I know that's what you are thinking. Well, here is the honest answer –I don't really know how to explain to you the kind of compassion I feel when driving through the streets of port-harcourt and seeing young men just like me in bet shops struggling and fighting to place bets that they eventually lose.
Most of these guys bet blindly and keep losing money every-day because they don't have knowledge of how the betting system really works. I want to change that. And trust me, this isn't "wash".
I sometimes smile at myself when I remember I was once like them. I can take this e-book and give out just for free, but then; you won't value it if I do that. In fact, I have tried it once and people ended up not valuing it. So the next best option is to give it out at a price anyone determined to make money betting online can afford.
And that's why It wouldn't just end when you buy my e-book…….
I will take you by the hand and give you the games I will personally trade with on boxing day (26th December) and 31st december so you can go out and make money for yourself with it. This advice alone is worth thousands of naira but you would get it from me totally FREE.

You'd get a 100 percent money back plus an apology from me for wasting your valuable time.

People thought I was crazy when I put up my personal phone number on an Ad I ran on Linda Ikeji's blog some few months back that was viewed by thousands of people. A lady even called me just to express her fears that I'd be taken advantage of by dishonest people.
The truth is I don't worry much about that because I'm sure the e-book is good and will help lots of people out there. That is why I want you to try it risk free and let me know what you think after you've had a chance to check my ideas all out.

Trust me, it's not and their comments confirm everything am telling you. Here is just one of the feedbacks from a happy winner with a screenshot of his winning bet ticket.

The landscape is changing for the world of the Internet. Since the World Wide Web first came into being, there has never been such a time as this where access to the Internet is possible from so many devices. Where Internet access used to be confined to the domain of the personal computer, a multitude of devices are now able to pull websites, pages, pictures, video, and other media from the interwoven network that is the web we know today.
Unfortunately, for web designers, having to consider the differences—in resolution, scale, compatibility, etc.—between devices is now a responsibility that cannot be avoided. Websites must still work, whether they're displayed on a PC, laptop, netbook, smartphone, tablet, TV—and, if futurists are to be believed, on smart countertops, tables, refrigerator doors, windows, and doors of tomorrow.
This is where responsive web design becomes important—both in ensuring that users get the web experience they expect and in maintaining the sanity of web designers. It allows website creators to adapt to the differences among devices without having to create a different website to cater to each one's individual quirks.
As the landscape of the Internet continues to evolve and redefine itself, responsive web design should be treated less as an option and more as a standard that every web design client should expect.

The best quote to walk away with..."Nostrand is the new Franklin Ave, after all"
"Hudson is very happy with the purchase and thrilled to continue developing in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, a neighborhood we love," said Joseph Kohl-Riggs, the director of acquisitions at Hudson, in prepared remarks. "Transit access is excellent, with the 2 and 5 trains two blocks away and the new Select Bus on Nostrand Avenue. We're also excited about the corner retail here—Nostrand Avenue is the new Franklin Avenue, after all."
Phase 1 of the new residential development will include 170 apartments and Phase 2 will have 250, according to CPEX.
"We have been advising the family for more than 10 years and the timing for this transaction worked out perfectly," said Mr. Leary in a statement. "Our clients were able to capitalize on the demand for new housing in Brooklyn. Prospect Lefferts Gardens has some of the best housing stock in terms of pre-war buildings in all of Brooklyn, but there has been little new stock added to the market. We have watched values and demand in this neighborhood consistently rise year over year."
