In sports training, there is a time when you hit a plateau. Your muscles get used to the routine and growth stalls. This is a time to change up the routine, introduce new techniques and bring variety to "surprise" the muscles through the plateau.
None of us like roadblocks or stalled routines. In our Christian life, we can also go through the motions and miss out on experiencing God. The common vernacular today is to "fake it 'till you make it." This doesn't always work; let's talk about a better way.
Our actions reveal our heart. But when we do things without thinking and with no heart of passion, we need to put the brakes on and consider the "why" behind "what" we are doing.
Jesus made you with a free will. He wants us to follow Him because of love, not like robots. A personal walk with God precedes power with God. What is not personal to us we will one day forsake. We follow a personal redeemer.
Think about it: if we were the only ones on the earth, Christ would have still come for us! That is personal love!
This self-sacrificing mission isn't God's mission. When our output is more than our input, we are in danger of burning out. Intimacy happens when we are touched personally with God's plan of redemption. We begin to understand His heart behind His action.
Going through the motions is when we do what we are "supposed to do," but we do it without a personal touch from the Lord. On this platform, at best, we are people-pleasers. The question begs to be asked: How much is good enough and by whose standards? We will not always "feel God" but, as we "practice His presence," we become more aware of His visitation. God wants us to walk with Him moment by moment more than doing great work for Him.
The great work will come as an overflow of fellowship with our great big God.
Need can only drive you so far; it can't sustain you.
What touches God's heart must touch our heart; this is the why behind the what that we do. How does this happen? Being honest and transparent with God is the beginning to going beyond mere knowledge and entering real fellowship. We draw near to Him by faith, and as we "hide His word in our heart," we are changed into His likeness.
In our secular age, the original meanings of many words have been lost. Preference and liberalism are the flavors of the day. Many of us want our faith on "our terms." This can be very turbulent and deceptive. How we define the things we hear and see is paramount.
In our relationships, our intrinsic dictionaries define things based upon our understanding of the facts and our experience, rather than objective truth. Misunderstanding and confusion can reign in these environments. We have all accumulated knowledge through education, our upbringing and other life experiences. Though this knowledge is valuable, it is limited.
We must go deeper. This is where we need the guidance of the Holy Spirit, for "deeper" is not a place we can find on our own.
Jesus wants us to go beyond what we think and know and enter a mystery.
This may sound cryptic, but here is where God shows up! Life limited to definitions is not enough! It is easy to spout off words and give the appearance we know what we are talking about.
It is living in the meaning that causes the power of what I know to be governed by who I know.
God is always speaking in a still, small voice. As we quiet ourselves, we hear more clearly the personal word He has prepared for us, the Word beyond all the superfluous words.
I believe this is one of the greatest struggles in the Christian life–experiencing what we know.
Worship is translating knowledge to power as we give authority to the presence of God in our lives. To amplify this awareness, we must ask this question: "Where is Christ honored?" We see throughout the Bible, His presence rests where there is humility, purity, and faith. As we build on these foundations, the kingdom of God becomes tangible.
Worship brings our attention to our Savior and we learn to recognize His personal word for our lives; "rhema" replaces mere knowledge.
Rhema speaks of the moments when the veil comes off our eyes and we see a personal glimpse of the meaning of truth in 2 Corinthians 3:14. It is one thing to read something from an author and quite another when you know the Author and He addresses you by name. These personal words strengthen and inspire great motive, energy and drive to pursue God and His purpose. We discover His devotion to us, and it inspires us.
General revelation is what we see and perceive. This information establishes logical and natural understanding.
Secondly, personal revelation is when what we hear and see touches our hearts through the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
Both are valuable but personal revelation is what transforms our hearts.
To illustrate this point: we could look at the ingredients of spaghetti sauce and know what is in the sauce. But when we taste it, we enter understanding of the sauce—delicious!
Understanding happens as we pass through knowledge and live in the meaning.
The more attention we give personal revelation, the more we catch a clear glimpse of what the Author is saying and the more we discover His heart. Often, we remember what is personal; it touches our hearts. When Jesus said Mary's name at the tomb, that is when she knew it was Jesus and she called Him Lord! She was comforted and strengthened.
Meditation brings resident knowledge of absolute truth or promises to the forefront of our minds. We begin to fellowship with the Promiser. Here comes the revelation of the building blocks of why we believe what we believe. We ponder and muse and enter the mood of what we know and possess. We become possessors rather than mere professors. It is easy to talk a good game, but when the rubber meets the road what we really possess will be made evident.
As meditation progresses, reflection is produced, and we begin to examine and learn personally what we have stored in our hearts. We begin to scrutinize and examine knowledge as though our life depended on it. This, in turn, creates rhema—a personal revelation from God for our lives. Doubt and questions are okay if it takes us on a pursuit to deeper living.
To the measure that we "unpack" and relearn truth, that will be the measure our recall will release power. Reflection brings us into the image of what we are meditating upon. God is faithful to show personal wisdom to the student who takes the time to seek Him.
The longevity of our ministry and our faith is caused by our state of wonder and amazement toward Christ. This personal revelation will be fresh in us and our life will not only be changed but exchanged into something brand new! We will leave simple conformity and enter transformation. What's happening? Our inner life is being poured out and affecting our outer life with a personal word from God for those we connect with.
Rest happens in what we are doing; not away from the action. Personal rest comes to us during our ministry. We are given inner strength. This strength upholds us; not in the absence of activity but through engaging us in what we are called to do. Often, when we think of rest, vacation comes to mind. A retreat is another way to look at it.
Resting in fellowship with our Absolute brings our renewal and refreshment. We are strengthened as we function. There is an exchange.
The work we do has a source outside us, where we are operating and being renewed at once. The completion of the task is not as important as the journey of getting to know God along the way.
This determines the way we interpret what is happening around us. A sound mind is not the absence of bad thoughts; it is holding on to the right ones. Right thoughts are those that produce life and capacity—they are building blocks. Even in the most trying situations, we can tower with right thinking rather than cower in fear.
If we are drinking from the right source, we will be sustained in hope and Christ will replace our guiding fictions.
The inner stability produced by right-thinking affects every aspect of our lives. Our decisions and conversations are transformed into spheres of expectation and confidence.
How we interpret information is important; to organize our knowledge into a proper inventory reduces clutter in our souls.
"What we know" is organized through meditation and becomes active as a guard at our heart's door. We pass from knowledge to life. We live in the meaning rather than just the forms.
Trials are designed to bring us over this threshold. However, our flesh often fights God and the process takes longer. God's plan is that we experience what we know. Even the simple words, "I love you," heard deep in our heart, could chase fear and produce tremendous inner strength.
Communion is the consequence of worship and meditation. As we break the bread and drink the wine, figuratively speaking, we enter His life (John 6:63). We believe and trust in the provision of Jesus and His broken body becomes our food and we are fulfilled and satisfied with new identity. The wine is significant, representing the blood which washed away our sins.
As we receive Christ's new life as our sustenance, we are converted. We believe in the Absolute, despite what evidence we see; we begin to take on the identity of the Absolute, by faith, and live in the effects of a new life produced beyond ourselves.
Through communing with God, our communication is transformed and there is a radical change.
This change can be seen because we are thinking about and interpreting the things we see differently, rather than just by sight. There is now a new dimension, one that is objective. This exchange of life teaches how to delight in grace.
Often, we battle with stewarding our time. Our schedules are packed with demands, but the value of the treasure cannot be told as we invest in reflecting upon God's personal word. Inner stability and navigation of life decisions are found here.
Time is precious; we can never really manage it, but we can recognize priorities. Priorities are like maps, enabling us to choose the best way to use this gift of time.
For instance, the archeologist carefully removes the dirt to unveil buried treasures. There is no hurry, lest they damage or disturb the relic. It takes finesse to preserve the mystery and lead us into true discovery and true meaning.
As meaning is discovered, we honor the knowledge we have received and we recognize it for what it truly is. In reflection, we learn to slow down and let the words sink deep into us rather than rushing through to complete a task.
Saturate yourself in the majesty of God and discover the truth of Who He is that defines what He does.
Set aside time for God on purpose, He wants to unfold to you His heart. Let go of the methodology and technique to find God and just sit and be loved by Him. He will make Himself known and inspire you with His passion.
He is closer to you than the air you breathe.

Elijah knew the importance of the altar. In 1 Kings 18, he repaired the altar after the prophets of Baal had destroyed it. An altar is a place of sacrifice, worship, and a memorial. It is a designated place to have an encounter with our Savior; a place of exchange. Gripping the edges of the altar in reverence, we see the true nature of sacrifice. Positioned with care, the sacrifice is put to death while the guilty are set free. Blood cleans the ugly stain of sin.
The altar is a place to meet God and offer that which pleases Him, at great cost to the giver. The sacrifice in the Old Testament was tied and ceremonially prepared to spill blood to atone for sin. One had to pay the ultimate price so the other could go free. The offering was surrendered as healthy, full of life. Fire came and consumed the offering in satisfaction. Standing in worship, discovery begins in the fear of the Lord, and the fire from above then burns within our hearts.
Often, the Israelites built an altar after miracles, as a reminder of God's faithfulness for those that followed. We must have a personal altar. We must have a place to meet God and to lay all things before Him so nothing is in competition with Him.
There are no shortcuts or gimmicks at the altar; Christ has preeminence. In worship, we offer all of ourselves and He gives us all of himself. As Abraham offered his most precious gift to the Lord, he discovered God's answer and perfect provision.
The place where we meet God is such a sacred place! In Hebrews 13:10, an exchange of life takes place. At the altar, there is the spilling of blood, a death, a burning and an accepted blessing. In this place of absolute surrender, we enter true understanding. Rhetoric and superficiality is exchanged for experiential power.
Having an inner altar means we take time and surrender those things most precious to us before God. In so doing, we are saying "nothing is in competition with You; You have preeminence, Lord; I am yours and yours alone." Our worship and prayers and the pouring out of our hearts is like sweet incense to God in Psalms 141:2.
This altar life releases fire and power from above. We learn to trust that His best is far greater than anything we could manufacture or preserve. This is radical but revolutionary! We are casting everything onto the Lord so that we are free to walk in providential liberty. We lay our whole heart and expectation upon the altar at His feet.
The result is a personal understanding of how we are loved by God. We then can love Him with our heart, mind, soul, and strength. Until we do this, we will be double-minded and having one hand on everything rather than being completely surrendered to Him.
Without an altar, our problems and difficulties will consume us. The lie of trying to manage our sin or guilt will wear out any saint. God's provision is His altar where the guilty are made free and the ashes are removed, and beauty is seen. Burdens are released and we can walk in the liberty of the Spirit, as in Galatians 5:1.
In this place of true surrender, there is an unspeakable joy. At the altar, being conquered (or persuaded) is essential to the exchanged life. We let go of our own ways and we cling to the Almighty. We become a living sacrifice—an offering of praise, alive to God (Romans 6:11).
Humility, teachability, and willingness are all the results of a surrendered, submitted life that stands in awe of the greatness of God. Awe leads us to focus and come under the authority of truth and we are moved in the Spirit.
As worshipers, we are amazed at who God is. As we move "out of the way," His beauty begins to shine through our broken vessel. In brokenness, we reveal the true treasure and commune with His perfect life.
Life can be defined sometimes as controlled chaos. It is a myth to think we are in control. We will never understand the destiny of why things can enter our lives until we commit them back to God. We begin to learn to rest in knowing that the consequences are the Lord's and He knows exactly what we need. With all our knowledge, we can do it our way, but one thing is lacking—the process of being conformed to the image of His dear Son. As we "let go and let God," trust is born and we hold on to earthly things loosely.
There is pain at the altar. A divine perspective of pain is that it can show us a new destiny. A nailed scarred, pierced Christ, who endured all manner of troubles, wants to carry our pain—for the chastisement of our peace was upon Him (Isaiah 53:5). He is the Man of Sorrows, bearing all our grief so that we are made free. So many live in pain; Jesus comforts all who mourn and unfolds His purpose in the most difficult trials.
Bringing us to new depths with God is the destiny of the altar life.
In 2 Timothy 1:12, we see when something is committed to Him, He becomes the caretaker of it. We give back situations, people and our greatest fears, then we look unto Jesus in worship and He consumes our offering.
Let go of those precious things that detract from the fervent flame and put them into the hands of Jesus. Let Him be the divine caretaker and protector of your soul. We give Him our ashes and He gives us His beauty. Hold nothing back, lay it all down at the altar—true rest is waiting.

Q: Catching exceptions with objective-c in Linux I have some sample code that doesn't run the way I think it should.
#import <Foundation/NSString.h>
#import <Foundation/NSException.h>
#import <Foundation/NSAutoreleasePool.h>
#import <stdio.h>

int main( int argc, const char *argv[] ) {
  NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

  @try {
    NSException *e = [NSException
      exceptionWithName: @"NSException"
                 reason: @"The level is below 0"
               userInfo: nil];
    @throw e;
  } @catch ( NSException *e ) {
    printf( "+%s: ", [[e name] UTF8String] );
  }

  [pool release];
}

I run it as following:
> gcc -g -c main.m -fconstant-string-class=NSConstantString -I/usr/include/GNUstep
> gcc main.o -lgnustep-base
> ./a.out

The result is:
Aborted

A little bit of playing with the GNU debugger showed me that the catch clause is never reached. It seems to work mac though.
Why do I not get into the catch clause?

A: The answers needed can be found in this mail thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss-gnustep@gnu.org/msg11979.html
To get proper objective-c exception handling one might need to compile with the -fobjc-exceptions flag.
> gcc -g -c main.m -fconstant-string-class=NSConstantString -fobjc-exceptions -I/usr/include/GNUstep
> gcc main.o -lgnustep-base

In this new age, couture is our pijamas and yes, we are gonna see ready-to-wear on the red carpet really soon.
In our first day of Istanbul Fashion Week, we were fashionably and unbelievably late! We missed the first show but took our seats for the second show of the day, Safak Tokur. It was his first solo show in fashion week which separated into 3 different concepts. I'm not sure if i understood the idea of liberation through the blue color and digital world that I am a part of. Besides, I think Im not a huge fan of digital world. I just love what he has done in the second part, instrumental fashion. Leather sandals, long capes were so traditional in addition to its self-minded presentation.
As you can see on the cover, Dilek Hanif showed her talent, ingenutiy and tailoring skills very well on the runway! I loved her dreamland but especially those shoes are my favorites! As you might know, she is great in couture but its a ready-to-wear collection!
I think we started to wear couture day time and ready-to-wear night time! World is changing, ha?
At Atıl Kutoglu Show, I love stripes and pop colors combined with white. Sparkles on the other hand, were little bir overloaded with tulle details. Still, when I think about his former collections, this one was much better until Jessica Stam, oh my god model!, came up to the stage! She was an erosion of attention and I might not remember the rest!

Spyware is a type of malware that can be installed on computers, and which collects small pieces of information about users without their knowledge. The presence of spyware is typically hidden from the user, and can be difficult to detect. Typically, spyware is secretly installed on the user's personal computer.
Sometimes, however, spywares such as keyloggers are installed by the owner of a shared, corporate, or public computer on purpose in order to secretly monitor other users.
While the term spyware suggests software that secretly monitors the user's computing, the functions of spyware extend well beyond simple monitoring.
Spyware programs can collect various types of personal information, such as Internet surfing habits and sites that have been visited, but can also interfere with user control of the computer in other ways, such as installing additional software and redirecting Web browser activity. Don't miss with free shipping.
Spyware is known to change computer settings, resulting in slow connection speeds, different home pages, and/or loss of Internet connection or functionality of other programs.
In an attempt to increase the understanding of spyware, a more formal classification of its included software types is provided by the term privacy-invasive software.

Is L.A. sports teams' success worth the…
Is L.A. sports teams' success worth the price? Question of the Week
Many parents love to share sports with their kids. But high ticket prices and cable bills — or inaccessible broadcasts — can make it difficult. (Getty Images)
By Daily News | |
PUBLISHED: June 20, 2014 at 2:04 p.m. | UPDATED: August 28, 2017 at 7:33 a.m.
When the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw pitched a no-hitter on Wednesday, a performance rated as one of the greatest in baseball history, the moment was bittersweet for many Southern California sports fans.
Most were unable to watch the historic game on television because they don't have Time Warner Cable, and other TV service providers refuse to pay to carry the new all-Dodgers channel. Dodgers fans have now missed two no-hitters in less than a month. Imagine their frustration if the team climbs into an exciting pennant race.
Fans of other Los Angeles teams may share the frustration at a time when hockey's Kings are Stanley Cup champions, basketball's Clippers are rising and the Lakers remain popular, but the prices to attend their games are unaffordable for many families.
This leads to our Question of the Week for readers: Is L.A. sports teams' success worth the price?
Are you willing to pay higher prices for tickets and cable TV — or be shut out of games entirely — if the extra revenue helps local professional sports franchises assemble high-priced, talented rosters?
Would you rather have fewer championships if it meant you could actually watch your team?
Or do you wonder why your teams can't be more like the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs and the Major League Baseball-leading Oakland Athletics, who succeed despite below-average player payrolls?
The Dodgers' deal with Time Warner promises the team $8.35 billion for 25 years — one reason they can afford baseball's highest payroll. The annual Fan Cost Index, calculated by the Chicago-based Team Marketing Report, pegs the typical cost for a family of four to attend a game at $542 for the Lakers, $395 for the Clippers, $382 for the Kings and $217 for the Dodgers, all above league averages. (It's $284 for the Anaheim Ducks and $195 for the Angels, both below average.)
Is winning worth it?

Termites are social insects that live and work together in large groups. Termites feed on items made of cellulose, primarily wood, and are commonly found feeding on tree stumps, fallen trees, wooden fixtures, and the structural wood of homes and businesses. Termites living outside are considered beneficial insects as they help to break-down decaying matter and return those nutrients back to the soil. But when termites find their way inside homes and businesses, they quickly turn from beneficial to destructive!
Worker termites make up the majority of the termite colony and their job is to gather food. Termite workers have soft, creamy-white bodies, and are blind and wingless.
The main responsibility of soldier termites is guarding the termite colony against danger, which is typically ants that are trying to invade the colony. They are quite a bit larger than worker termites and have large, elongated heads that are typically yellow in color, short legs, and large, powerful jaws.
The reproductive members of the colony are the largest and are dark-brown to black in color. Reproductive termites have wings which allow them to swarm from their mature colonies, find a mate, and start a new termite colony. The queens are also a member of this category, though they are more or less in a category of their own.
Termites rarely come into contact with people and, therefore, pose no direct threat to us. Termites don't bite or sting and aren't known to transmit diseases to people, so they aren't considered dangerous in the typical sense. However, termites are actually still considered a dangerous insect species due to the extensive structural damages they can cause to properties as they tunnel through and feed on the structural wood of the homes and businesses they invade!
Because of their sneaky nature and the fact that they invade our homes in secluded, out-of-the-way areas, termites often go unnoticed when they enter homes, and therefore have the potential to create significant damage before their presence is discovered. In fact, termite infestations often go on for months or even years without being noticed! But the damages that these wood-destroying pests can cause inside the home or business they are invading during that period of time can be widespread and very costly to repair. And what's worse, most homeowner insurance policies don't cover termite damage as they consider this kind of damage preventable!
The most likely reason that termites are on your property or inside your home or business is that it's providing them with easy access to their preferred food source which is wood; termites are especially attracted to wood that has been damaged by water, is decaying, or that is in direct contact with the soil.
When out in nature, termites can be found feeding on fallen trees, tree stumps, and decaying logs and leaves. When invading homes and other structures, termites will first be attracted to structural wood that has been damaged by water. If the infestation is allowed to continue, they will then begin to consume both sound wood and non-wood items such as insulation, plastic plumbing pipes, and sub-flooring.
The termites in West Tennessee typically nest in the ground underneath the soil and do not establish their colonies inside the wood they are feeding on like some other species. Instead, they travel back and forth from their nests in the ground to their food source through underground tunnels or mud tubes that they create. Termite mud tubes are about the width of a pencil and run along the ground, up the foundation, and along the basement walls of the building they have infested.
The best way to deal with a termite problem is to partner with a trusted pest control provider. At HTP Termite & Pest Control, Inc., we offer the responsive services needed to provide customized residential and commercial treatment programs for all our customers. Our technicians utilize modern treatments as well as eco-friendly and EPA-registered products to solve termite problems.

20 Years Hence
Saturday, September 11, 2021 5:30 pm Daniel J. Summers
The events of the last month have been difficult to watch as they unfolded. Pages and pages have been written about our withdrawal from Afghanistan, and its hasty collapse that occurred before our own withdrawal was complete. There is a discussion to be had regarding military withdrawal strategies, whether it was even necessary, etc. (especially when I've seen no one espouse how I would have handled it) However, that is not what is occupying the majority of my thoughts when I reflect over the past 20 years; rather, it's the people.
I've been thinking about Louis Neil Mariani ("Neil"). I profiled him back in 2009, and his story is heartbreaking. When I searched his name again, I found that his wife Ellen was one of the last victim families to sue vs. taking the compensation fund payouts. Losing her husband wasn't enough; she spent years raising funds and bouncing through some questionable legal representation, just to be told that she could not have her day in court. I have no idea what either of their politics are - it doesn't matter, and that's the point. I mourn for Neil, Ellen, and the entire Mariani family - and I wonder if we, as a nation, have learned anything from their involuntary sacrifice.
I've also been thinking about the time I spent deployed back in 2006. It got me thinking even then, but it's come to mind more frequently, particularly with the Afghanistan collapse. One of the aspects of that job was to open, inspect, and repair packages that were found to be damaged when they passed through our facility. In doing this, I would see glimpses of what was being sent to the military members downrange; quite frequently, it was pictures of children, love notes from spouses, and food items that weren't easily available in a combat zone. We also, on occasion, had to inspect mail headed home from the war zone. In these, too, I would see family memorabilia, often wrinkled and dirty; they had accompanied their owner through some very difficult times.
These difficult times didn't always have a happy ending. There were marriages strained, many broken; even among my paltry crew of thirteen co-workers, there were families dissolved because of those four months. This toll, too, is something I mourn; each party usually bears some of the blame when a marriage ends, but the circumstances that led to that dissolution were brought on by the stresses of war.
I realize that some of these marital partnerships may not have made it; if it wasn't the war, it would have been something else. Maybe Neil would still be alive and well, preparing for his 80th birthday soon - but maybe not. The "maybe" questions belie what is behind much of the mourning, which is the loss of potential - unrealized potential, unjustly snatched from its owner well before it should have been.
One of the hardest questions I've fielded over the past month or so is "How are you?" I try to say the requisite "fine" in return, but sometimes the question just hits differently. My… uh, eyes sweat… way more than they used too. I mourn that we lost thirteen Americans, and untold Afghans who had been "on our team" as we ham-handedly exited that nation. I mourn the "falling man" picture of 9/11, and the very similar images of people falling off the landing gear 20 years later, so desperate to escape. A younger version of me would have been angered by this; now, though, my main emotion is sorrow.
It is important, though, to not let the sorrow and long-term futility of the heroic efforts of so many - so great a price for so quick a loss - give rise to despair. One of the most encouraging things I have read over the past month was a Sunday French Press entitled "They Held the Line"; I would encourage you to read it as well, especially since this post is not going to end with some uplifting, inspiring hope for the future.
"Never Forget" became the rallying cry after 9/11 (even though it had previously been used regarding the Holocaust; I guess we did, in fact, forget). But, for those of us who prosecuted the War on Terror, forgetting will never be an issue. My prayer is that future generations will not have such an agonizing event, and a 20-year struggle to defeat a difficult enemy, where the hard fought gains are lost before our boots have even left the soil.
Same Vocabulary, Different Dictionary
Saturday, December 20, 2014 7:26 am Daniel J. Summers
"Same vocabulary, different dictionary." This is the way Skip Heitzig described false teachers in a recent sermon on 2 Peter 2. That certainly is good to remember when it comes to theological matters; think about how many different definitions, just in evangelical circles, you have of the word "worship" and of its role in the life of the church and believer.
It works outside the realm of the directly-theological as well. Take the CIA report released last week. I've been seeing a lot of banter back and forth over the results of the report, but relatively few questioning its characterization. Even though pretty much everyone is against "torture," there are competing definitions at work. If we just debate back and forth without addressing the root issue, we're simply reinforcing the "other side"'s view of us.
Now, to be fair, it's generally the left who like to redefine things. Racist no longer means "one race is superior"; rather, it covers a host of things, from ethnically-related comments, stereotypes, or even common insensitivity, if the object has a different ethnicity from the one who is offended. Rape is expanded to include a whole lot of things that are not really rape, including simple after-the-fact regret. Marriage means something today that it has never meant throughout millennia of history. And, somewhere along the way, freedom of speech has been replaced with freedom from offense, and freedom of association has been replaced with freedom to compel.
That being said, I'm not necessarily advocating for "the right" either - it's not about the right, it's about being right. We cannot flourish, either as a Christian or as a society, if we do not share a common lexicon. And, until we do, it is futile to try to defeat one person's argument with an argument that has an entirely different meaning. All you've got is ships passing in the night. Same vocabulary, different dictionary.
Osama bin Laid to Rest
Monday, May 2, 2011 8:07 pm Daniel J. Summers
Yesterday was a great day for the United States of America. In case you (like this guy used to do) have been living in a cave the past few days, the al-Qaeda leader behind the 9/11 terror attacks, Osama bin Laden, has been killed. After a nearly 10-year manhunt, most Americans are joyful today. While his death will not bring about the end of terrorism, it is an important symbolic victory in the continuing (if not in name) War on Terror. From the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, to the 2000 USS Cole bombing, Osama bin Laden had hit at American interests several times. 9/11 was the straw that broke the camel's back, and we began trying to get him in earnest. I have great hopes that the intel that was gathered during the mission will enable us to complete the work of dismantling the terror network for good.
Pakistan, you've got some questions to answer as well. Why did it take us not telling you about an operation for it to finally work?
And, a note to my Christian friends quoting Proverbs 24:17-18…
17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles,
18 lest the Lord see it and be displeased,
and turn away His anger from him.
- Proverbs 24:17-18
Is the Lord going to bring Osama bin Laden back to life? I think not. This act was an act of vengeance, I'll not argue that point; however, it was also an act of defense. I will sleep better knowing that this person has begun meeting justice, and will be meeting it for eternity. As a Christian, I am sad that another soul has died without Christ; however, nothing I read in Scripture indicates that evil has unlimited chances to repent. In fact, the Bible says that all men are without excuse. His death will save lives long-term.
I leave you with the scene unfolding as David and the Israelite army return from battle, David having just slain Goliath.
6 As they were coming home, when David returned from striking down the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with songs of joy, and with musical instruments. 7 And the women sang to one another as they celebrated….
- 1 Samuel 18:6-7a (ESV)
There is absolutely no reason that we cannot rejoice in this military victory for our nation. As a nation, we haven't had a lot of bright spots lately, so this one is probably amplified because of that. God has delivered him into our hands - why should we not rejoice?
2010 Year in Review: The Bad
Wednesday, January 12, 2011 1:00 pm Daniel J. Summers
This is the middle post of my three-post "Year in Review: The Good, the Bad, and the Ridiculous." The linked words in that title will take you to the other two posts. Here are the things that I considered bad in 2010.
Wikileaks began as a whistleblower website, where people could release information about injustices. In 2010, they made a leap into classified government documents. Purportedly stolen by PFC Bradley Manning, these documents were not only embarrassing for some government agencies, the information contained in those documents identified informants and other non-public allies in the War or Terror. While the creator of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, is currently in custody (due to some somewhat-questionable sex crime charges), there is little legal enforceability on a citizen of another country disclosing secrets of another. Several US companies have severed ties with the site, and kudos to them for that; however, I believe that the net result of this will be bad.
What I've identified as the most ridiculous quote of 2010 ("We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it") was spoken in reference to this bill. Going by the formal name of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (colloquially known as "Obamacare"), this bill enacted many reforms to our health care system, most notably in the area of insurance coverage. The bill mandates that all people purchase and retain health care insurance (a provision already rule unconstitutional), stipulates that insurers must cover preexisting conditions and may not drop insured people for certain conditions, and provides for the creation of a public co-op. There may be more, but at 1,300+ pages, who knows?
We are already seeing the unintended consequences of this legislation. Insurance rates are going up, with many companies raising rates 25% or more. This shouldn't catch anyone by surprise; what is called "insurance" in the bill is more like a membership. Insurance is a bet against bad things happening, which is the entire reason preexisting conditions aren't covered. Where's the bet when you know the outcome? Insurance rates are not designed for this type of use. (Conspiracy theorists could speculate that those who passed the law knew this. They really wanted public control, but the people didn't want it - instead, they passed a bill that will bankrupt the insurance companies. Then, who rides in to save the day? Liberal government!)
Insurance is but one of the problems with this bill; there are many others where the unintended consequences outweigh the intended benefits. Hopefully, the 112th Congress can undo this monstrosity before most of its provisions become effective. Until then, though, this remains on the bad list.
The FCC Implements Net Neutrality
"Net neutrality" is the concept that network service providers (ISPs, cell carriers, etc.) must treat all network traffic equally. This means that they cannot favor certain types of packets (ex. their own video streaming) while slowing down other packets (ex. competitors' video streaming, voice over IP). While, on the surface, this sound good, it fails to take into account bandwidth considerations, and the consequences of that bandwidth being used up. A TV signal can be broadcast through the air, and whether one TV or a million TVs receive the signal, the signal is the same; however, the same signal received over the Internet must be duplicated once for each end point receiving it - it is a request-response network. It's not as cut-and-dried of an issue as some of its more ardent supporters would like to paint it.
Congress has failed to implement net neutrality legislation, and courts have ruled that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has no jurisdiction to implement it on its own. That didn't stop the intrepid FCC, which issued net neutrality guidelines near the end of the year. Hopefully 2011 will find these regulations to be unenforceable; as it stands now, though, these regulations are bad, and have the potential to slow innovation around the network.
Patriot Day 2010
Saturday, September 11, 2010 7:00 am Daniel J. Summers
Today is 9 years removed from September 11th, 2001. There is a lot going on today - fall Saturdays are typically sports days, and today is no different. There are lots of big match-ups in college football, and NASCAR wraps up its regular season tonight, locking in the drivers that will be competing for the championship over the following 10 races. There was a lot going on 9 years ago as well, although as a Tuesday, that day's scheduled entertainment was in music, not sports; Michael W. Smith's Worship and Enya's A Day Without Rain were both released on that date. (It's almost as if God knew that we were going to need them in the weeks to come.)
Of course, I'm not writing today to celebrate the 9th anniversary of Worship, though that album did revolutionize Christian music (not the first time Michael W. Smith had done that). It is remembered for the actions of a rogue band of terrorists, who turned that day into a day of great loss for our nation. It is remembered for the collapses in security that led to what is still both the worst terrorist attack on America, and the worst airline disaster in our history.
There are lots of directions that this post could go. I could talk about the absolutely horrendous idea of building a worship center for the religion under whose auspices the attacks were carried out mere blocks from the site of the attack; but, from my description, you probably can tell how I feel about that. I could also talk about the idiot in Florida who wanted to have the "Bonfire of the Qur'ans" today; but, again, I've probably communicated how I feel just now. I am thankful to God that he has decided against this.
But, today, in between games, cookouts, and races, all I'd like for us all to do is remember. Remember the lives of those who were simply doing their job that sunny September morning. Remember the lives of the police and fire personnel who ran into the building when others were running out. Remember those who were left with the choice of staying where they are and being burned to death, or jumping 100 stories to their death. Remember how the only thing you wanted to do was hold your family tight. Remember the over 3,000 military personnel who have lost their lives in the aftermath of this attack, in counter offenses in Iraq and Afghanistan. Remember the pain. That pain reminded people just how good we have it here, and for a time, united nearly all of us around the defense of our country.
When you're through remembering, turn to praise. Praise God that we have to go back 9 years to remember a successful large-scale terrorist attack on our soil. Praise God for leaders who made some tough decisions that have resulted in our protection. Praise God for the freedom we still have in this country. And finally, praise God that you were not among those who perished on that day, and resolve to accomplish what He left you here to do.
Tuesday, December 30, 2008 1:00 pm Daniel J. Summers
This is part 2 (either way you read it) in this year's "2008 Year in Review - The Good, the Bad, and the Ridiculous" series. The bad things are things that either were bad, or will be in the future. All opinions are mine, obviously, and you are welcome to adopt them as your own. :)
Where do I begin? There was not much about this election that I liked. The campaign was way too long. The Republicans nominated the wrong guy. The outcome was bad. I've already covered Sarah Palin's treatment in the "Ridiculous" entry. My biggest problem with this election was how it was spun. It's safe to say that the majority of Obama voters didn't know what they were voting for; how could they, when he wouldn't get any specifics? His campaign of "hope" (who doesn't want to have hope?) and "change" (which would have happened either way) struck me as a focus-group phrase that got way out of control.
Then you have the last few months of the campaign itself. First, there was a hurricane at the same time as the Republican convention, with people saying "How can they have a convention at a time like this?" Next came the "crisis" that had been brewing for years in the sub-prime mortgage market. McCain foolishly decided to suspend his campaign to deal with it, which gave Obama the chance to make the speech where he said "A president has to deal with more than one thing at a time" (which is very, very true). It seemed the Republicans were "darned if they did, darned if they didn't" during this cycle! Personally, I thought that both things should have continued on schedule.
Then, there was "Joe the Plumber," roundly ridiculed for asking a question that elicited the "spread the wealth around" response from Obama. All of a sudden, we have all these reports popping up. "His name isn't even Joe!" (as if they've never heard of someone who goes by their middle name) "He doesn't even make enough money to have to pay more!" (which didn't matter - he one day wanted to make that much money) "He's not even a licensed plumber!" (but was working towards that - all part of his plan to better his life) In the end, a government worker was dismissed from her job for digging up dirt on Joe using government resources. (Speaking of government, an organization called ACORN submitted thousands of voter registrations, hundreds of which were found to be fraudulent. However, the governments continued to accept these registrations from them, and courts ruled that they could be accepted.)
Regarding the actual outcome, I'd describe myself as skeptically optimistic. Obama's selections for his cabinet haven't been quite what I would like, but I didn't really expect that they would be; however, they're not nearly as left-leaning as he could have made them. He does seem to be actually trying to govern towards the left side of the middle. I can't help but think that maybe he outsmarted everyone in the Chicago political machine, where there's as much corruption as there is snow off the Great Lakes. Could it be that he joined their machine to use it to get to the top, only to jettison it once he got there? We'll see.
RIP, Tim Russert and Tony Snow
People die - that's part of life. However, this year saw the somewhat-unexpected deaths of both Tim Russert, long-time anchor of Meet the Press, and Tony Snow, Fox News anchor and former White House spokesman. Both these men had a gift for journalism, and were not afraid to ask balanced questions of their interview subjects. I remember Tim Russert's expert analysis in both the 2000 and 2004 election seasons, opening the 2000 election coverage saying "Florida, Florida, Florida" and the 2004 coverage with "Ohio, Ohio, Ohio" - both the eventual states that decided the election. And, I remember Tony Snow as the first anchor of Fox News Sunday, as Fox decided to get into the Sunday morning political show alongside Meet the Press on NBC and This Week on ABC. (Am I old if I remember the latter as This Week with David Brinkley?) Tony also did an excellent job as spokesman during Bush's second term, deftly handling the questions he was asked, and clearly expressing the intents and desires of the administration. (If only GWB would communicate that clearly…)
Terrorism Reminds Us that It Isn't Gone Yet
This was a pretty quiet year on the terrorism front - Iraq is going well, the surge seems to have stamped out the final pockets of resistance, and rival factions are now participating in the democratic process. Afghanistan has been hit-or-miss, with a bit of instability still there as this year draws to a close. However, in late November, terrorists struck in Bombay, India, killing over 100 people, citizens of several different nations. This was a stark reminder that the quiet that we have experienced did not happen by chance, and that we need to keep our nose to the grindstone to protect our nation.
Wings of Wind Crash
We've enjoyed the International Balloon Fiesta here in Albuquerque the past two years. On the final Friday this year, the balloon Wings of Wind crashed into some power lines, catching fire. Both pilots jumped from the balloon, fearing that the fuel tanks would explode. One survived, one did not. It was the second year in a row that there has been a fatality at the Fiesta, but this one touched our family somewhat closely, as Michelle and Jordan had spent Thursday evening set up right by that balloon, and talking with its' pilots and crew. Then, to add insult to injury, a truck belonging to the balloon crew was stolen before they left town, causing them to lose their pictures of that week. (I hope that whoever stole that truck gets some special attention from God over the next year.) Keep the family of Stephen Lachendro, the pilot who perished, and Keith Sproul, the primary pilot and the pilot who survived, in your prayers.
So, there are some of the things that I thought were bad about this past year. What did you think was bad?
Awesome Bumper Sticker II

I saw this in a parking lot yesterday, accompanied by the Marine Corps symbol…
GIVE WAR A CHANCE!
Heh - maybe we could have a rally. Instead of Woodstock, New York, we'll gather in Woodstock, Georgia. :) We could have some long-haired folk singer start singing "What the world… needs now… is war… this war… Our freedom is the thing… that al-Qaeda's dyin' for…" (my apologies to Jackie DeShannon)
Plagiarism Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery II
Tuesday, October 2, 2007 1:00 pm Daniel J. Summers
Another busy time, another installment of "Plagiarism Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery". See, when we re-blog here, we're honest and up-front. :)
First up is an article about the cost of illegal immigration for Los Angeles County for one month, from radio talk show host and author Neal Boortz. The numbers are staggering.
Next up, a link to a pundit I never thought I'd link to, except as a set up to refute. However, Susan Estrich and I agree on this issue, which she details in "A Weak Moment for Women in Banning Larry Summers". (I don't agree that what he originally said was wrong - but the rest of it is spot-on.)
Via Morgan Freeberg, we have reports that "A Quiet Triumph May Be Brewing". Could it be that we've come up with a way to get most remaining al-Qaeda in the same place, then send them to their 72 virgins (or raisins, depending on the translation)?
And finally, we wrap up with some humor. Rachel Lucas learned to make thought and speech bubbles in PhotoShop, and produced a masterpiece she calls "Three Men and a Hillary". (Language warning in effect for the comments on that post…)

Below are four pups of ours who have trained to become assistance dogs for people in wheelchairs.
They are Riley, Axel, Cobba and Vespa (R.A.C.V.) Cobba was chosen to model the vest.
Jess is one of Jive's 2008 pups.
on the last day of Autumn 2008. He is 3 days old.
For those of you who don't know.....Jett isn't the only dog who comes to Mansfield Primary School with me.
However puppies do mature and and Chilli made a return visit in August 2009 so she could catch up with old friends.
As the photos show she settled in well and behaved beautifully, except for choosing the furniture rather than the floor!
"Can I sit here.......... if I sit nicely?" "I thought you just said no couches!"
Photos below are of 2 Gunnerson 'pups' sent to me by Sue, Guy and family.
to sleep on it in their kennel, MMMM, obviously mistaken.
He is asleep at my feet right now, tired after such an energetic day.
it looks like he has made Charlie take the blame.
He just loves the camera.


On 23 February, a group of 13 Waqifeen-e-Nau of Ireland, along with parents, had the opportunity to sit in the blessed presence of Hazrat Khalifatul Masihaa.
During the mulaqat, Huzooraa answered questions and queries presented by the Waqifeen Khuddam and Atfal, whilst also graciously giving them pens and an opportunity for a group photo.
Giving further insight into the mulaqat, Rabeeb Mirza Sahib said: "Huzooraa seemed very relaxed during the mulaqat and, as usual, his answers were a means of great clarity. The guidance from the Khalifa of the time is something that we are very fortunate and blessed to have".
A Khadim enquired about Huzoor's opinion on Brexit to which Huzooraa said that he had presented his opinion at the European Parliament, which was that he opposed brexit, whilst also voting against it.
Huzooraa was asked about what he ate for breakfast by a Tifl. Huzooraa responded by saying that he eats a healthy breakfast which lasts him the day. Huzooraa highlighted the fact that those who have a heavy workload should eat a decent breakfast.
One Waqif-e-Nau asked Huzooraa if going to the cinema once in a while was permitted. Huzooraa said that if it was to watch a documentary, then it is allowed, otherwise cinemas should be avoided and instead, if children want to view something, it should be at home with parents.
The mulaqat concluded with having the opportunity to meet Huzooraa individually and then having a group photograph.


Northwestern Pritzker School of Law participates in the Post-9/11 GI Bill Yellow Ribbon Program for all Law School programs. The following information applies for the 2018-19 and 2019-20 academic years. Information regarding the 2020-21 academic year should be available in April 2020.
If a student is eligible for the Yellow Ribbon Program, the Law School will award that student a Yellow Ribbon Grant of up to half of the remaining tuition and required fees after the standard Post 9-11 GI Bill payment, and the VA will match this same amount, not to exceed tuition and required fees. Please note that if you apply for financial aid and are awarded a Law School scholarship/fellowship, the Law School Yellow Ribbon Grant may replace the Law School scholarship/fellowship as long as you remain Yellow Ribbon eligible. The maximum award amount is contingent upon the VA's private school cap published on the VA website and the student's enrollment status (full vs. part-time).
VA regulations state that students must exhaust the full Post-9/11 GI Bill benefit for the academic year before any Yellow Ribbon funding will be paid. The 2018-19 Post-9/11 tuition and fee rate is $23,671.94 and the 2019-20 Post-9/11 tuition and fee rate is $24,476.79.
Please note that active duty personnel are not eligible to participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program per VA regulation. Additionally, the VA must provide their Yellow Ribbon match in order for a student to be eligible for the Yellow Ribbon funds through the Law School.
Eligibility for Yellow Ribbon funding cannot be guaranteed by the Law School until a student has officially submitted a tuition deposit.
Students are responsible for completing all necessary steps, as directed by the VA, to ensure that Northwestern Law receives the Post-9/11 GI Bill tuition payment and the VA's portion of the Yellow Ribbon payment. Please refer to your Certificate of Eligibility or call 1-888-GIBILL1 (442-4551) to verify that you have completed all necessary steps.


Gower singer songwriter, Paul Carman, is not impressed with the giant fir trees that edge the vicarage garden in Llanrhidian. They are not supposed to be here and they rip all the nutrients out of the soil so that other plants have nothing to feed on. Well that's what I think he said.
Like his Celtic ancestors, nature is important to Paul, his life tuned to melodies of birds and poetic metre of wave and season. At least, it would be if he wasn't a musician and so unable to be awake in daylight hours!
It is ego that causes the human race to be so wasteful, so unthinking, so devoid of empathy that he/she has so deeply damaged God's Creation. The rainforests are indeed dying, climate is changing, floods and droughts are threatening increased destruction. Scientists are discovering more and more evidence that human habits are endangering human survival and the survival of pretty much everything else. Perhaps, as Paul's tree tells us, it is already too late. Let us pray that it is not.
Contemplatives such as Richard Rohr and Thomas Merton have written about the false self and the true self. The false self is the ego-centric identity with which we tend to define ourselves. It is fed by success, sense of power and control, competition, public esteem, fame, renown etc. It is fixed on the future and driven by the past, and it will pursue its aims whatever the cost. The end justifies the means. Conversely, the true self is God-centric and ultimately free. The true self is peace, love, compassion, truth in essence. It is met and fed only in the present moment. To find it is to live. It is by stopping and noticing that we can become our true self.
Civil war is erupting in the Ukraine, there are murders and massacres between Moslems and Christians in Africa, and between Israelis and Palestinians, Syrians and Syrians, power struggles, floods and financial crises all over the world. Rainforests, tigers and whales are all but extinct. So much has at suicidal pace, (gone) wrong, so wrong, so long… Is it too late Brasilia?
Or dare we hope humanity may yet find her true self?
'Look at the birds of the air…consider the lilies of the field' while we still can. Peace.

Increasing numbers of Vietnamese people now have health cover.
The latest report from Vietnam Social Insurance shows that as at May 31 there were 64.6 million people (71.4 per cent of the country's population) with health insurance, for an increase of 2.7 million people since the end of the first quarter.
The social insurance sector organized healthcare treatment for people with social insurance at 2,089 central health facilities and 9,496 commune health stations around the country.
As at May 31 health insurance had earned VND19.589 trillion ($898.74 million) with VND17.631 trillion ($808.91 million) being outlaid.
Many people are still avoiding paying health insurance, however, and more than 40 per cent of companies also fail to do so. With the implementation of programs on hunger eradication and poverty reduction, many communes and districts have come out of their difficult economic circumstances, which has cut the number of people registering for health insurance cards.
Vietnam Social Insurance has set a target of 75 per cent of the population registering for health insurance within the next seven months and will try to ensure the rights of insured people and the effective use of funds while preventing any abuse of health insurance.
This month it will simplify procedures for families to participate in health insurance. They will not have to submit different documents to authorities to prove the identity of family members, which will create the conditions for them to register for health insurance.

Australian business faces years in the China deep freeze
Australia's ambassador to China had a downbeat message for executives in Shanghai recently.
Michael SmithNorth Asia correspondent
Updated Jul 19, 2021 – 5.00pm, first published at 2.13pm
When Australia's ambassador to China, Graham Fletcher, faced the Australian business community in Shanghai for the first time in eight months last week, his delivery was frank and the message unsettling.
For those in business blindly optimistic about a breakthrough in Sino-Australian relations and a return to the warmer pre-2019 days, there was not a lot of good news.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Chinese President Xi Jinping. China's decision to suspend the Strategic Economic Dialogue in May has had repercussions. AP
Fletcher told the group of businessmen and women over breakfast at Shanghai's Sukhothai Hotel that no business sectors should be considered immune from China's campaign of economic coercion against Australian exports.
They should also prepare for "several years" of cold treatment from Beijing as it continues to try, so far unsuccessfully, to make an example out of Australia by targeting its exports, according to people in the room.
Beijing also sees little point in bothering to engage with Canberra until at least after next year's federal election and China's 20th Party Congress later next year.
Fletcher's last visit to Shanghai was in November, just ahead of a US election that was partly fought on Donald Trump's campaign against China. The former US president blamed the country for the pandemic ravaging the US and, with it, Trump's political fortunes. (The Biden administration has not backed down, but is tackling the issue more diplomatically.)
It was also becoming clear just how far China was willing to go to put pressure on Australia. China has since restricted the importation, or slapped punitive tariffs on, coal, cotton, lobster, wine, sugar, timber and other products.
In the short term, iron ore and wool are the only Australian exports that look safe, and this is because China cannot easily source commodities of the same quality from anywhere else. Almost everything else is replaceable though, the audience heard.
China has already shown it is willing to take irrational economic decisions, such as stopping coal and barley, in order to make a political point. The impact on Australian tourism and education will not be entirely known until after borders open.
China's decision to suspend the Strategic Economic Dialogue in May has also had repercussions. Australian companies and individuals in China started facing obstacles within days of that suspension being announced by China's powerful National Development and Reform Commission.
For example, companies seeking to hold an event or have a Chinese official witness a signing are getting knocked back because they are Australian. Indeed, some Australian companies selling into China are now distancing themselves from "Brand Australia" because it is detrimental to their operations and sales.
This involves things such as taking "Australian" off their website or packaging. "The koala logo has to go," one investor says.
Australian diplomats in China are working to keep a tally of the impact of those decisions and have asked business to inform them of any incident.
China still needs Australian iron ore. Bloomberg
The problem now facing Australia and other countries that rely on China economically is that they are dealing with a more confident and emboldened country looking to rewrite the rules in its favour. Australia is more upfront than most, but has the same concerns now being expressed by Japan, South Korea and the US.
Still, many of the Australians working in China believe it would not hurt for Australia's politicians to tone it down a bit.
The Morrison government has been trying to safeguard national security and the country's economic interests with decisions such as blocking Huawei, cracking down on foreign donations and insulating China's access to universities and research.
Seeking to rein in states, such as Victoria, which are more open to working with China is a big challenge. Beijing will seek to exploit political divisions in Australia on China wherever possible.
There is no sign Beijing is going to let up given last week's comments by the Foreign Ministry about Australia's human rights abuses and its shrill reaction to Foreign Minister Marise Payne's support for an international tribunal's ruling on its territorial claims in the South China Sea.
This is despite the fact that China's strategy to force the Morrison government to take a softer line is not working. The Australian economy, at least before the Sydney lockdown, was robust and many of the exports hit by China's tariffs are being sold elsewhere.
Australia's next election will likely be fought on vaccine rollouts and the pandemic rather than foreign policy.
Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce summed up the mood among some in the business community on Sunday when he told the ABC's Insiders program that Australia needed to protect its freedoms and liberties, but it was still OK to keep selling goods to China.
"If China didn't get it from us, they would be getting it from somewhere else," he said.
China does not like this. It says Australia cannot have it both ways, that it can't take sides with the US on security issues while reaping the economic benefits of trade with the world's second-largest economy.
Australian businessman Warwick Smith, a Howard government minister with strong business links to China, says the Morrison government has taken the right approach. But he says it is also important to try to keep the lines of communications open rather than abandoning any hope of a dialogue with China in the foreseeable future.
Smith notes that the China-Britain Business Council met earlier this month with Premier Li Keqiang.
"It seems to have a long period yet to get to anywhere substantial [with China]," Smith told the The Australian Financial Review.
"The British seem to have had some dialogue with the Premier ... that might be possible for us in Australia. The shrillness with which China has responded is a bit hard to understand. Don't overact to it."

The Nimrod aircraft took off on an exercise Search and Rescue (SAR) sortie from its base at RAF St Mawgan. It was carrying in the bomb bay, as part of the SAR equipment, a normal load of 5 inch reconnaissance flares. In accordance with normal practice, the first navigator switched the flare's release units to live shortly after takeoff. Some 30 seconds later a cockpit indicator warned the crew of a fire in the bomb bay. The captain immediately instructed the co-pilot to fly the aircraft back to base while he transmitted a MAYDAY call and informed the rest of the crew.
During the return flight ground witnesses saw the Nimrod trailing smoke, with several burning flares, a parachute and other objects falling from the aircraft. The aircraft landed safely. Although the fire services quickly extinguished the intense fire, the aircraft was extensively damaged.
CAUSE: "The accident was caused by a reconnaissance flare becoming detached from its carrier and subsequently igniting in the bomb bay . How it came to be released could not be positively determined."

Crawley Wasps Prepare for Their Big Day Out against Arsenal
From Wimbledon beating Liverpool to Hereford beating Newcastle to Bradford beating Chelsea, there's nothing quite like a David versus Goliath. The Women's FA Cup has had its fair share of romance, too, and this weekend sees fourth-tier Crawley Wasps face 14-time winners Arsenal. An Arsenal that has record-breaking Vivianne Miedema, the world-class Kim Little, the composed young defender Leah Williamson, and a host of internationals and top young talents to boot. The Wasps were formed 27 years ago and have only ever been a women's football club. It's a name which the locals hold dear, a brand which has become synonymous with the side, noticeable in their black-and-yellow striped shirts. Last year they were as low as the fifth tier of English football before earning promotion and the side has a good chance of back-to-back promotions, largely thanks to the efforts of committed manager/chairman Paul Walker.
