Make Scott McClellan Your Bitch!
Let's face it, Scotty's gonna need a job. And soon. Where better to start the face lifts, than with the actual, sweaty face of the administration itself?

Let's face it, Scotty's gonna need a job. And soon. With laughable poll numbers, and so many leaks and lies that even the White House press corps is starting to pay attention at press conferences, new Chief of Staff Josh Bolten has to start triage in the West Wing. And where better to start the face lifts, than with the actual, sweaty face of the administration itself? GOP grumblings have already begun-- Bush is suffering in public opinion because of the way McClellan's handling the press. It's not the message, it's the messenger.
Apparently, it wasn't a great idea to hire the moist, chubby son of the Austin mayor to deflect questions on everything from the president choking on a pretzel to non-existent WMD's to why Karl Rove lied to him. Even though Scotty appealed to the base-- in that he looks and sounds like a constipated Wal-Mart manager on break-- it turns out he needed a resume boasting something more than "Does Not Lie As Well As Ari Fleischer."
So get him while he's down! And cheap! Why not take poor Scott McClellan under your wing? Put him to work lying to your creditors. Or explaining to family members why you can't call them back. Or referring questions about the mysterious dent in your car to the mechanic who doesn't speak English. Your boss wants to know if you misappropriated petty cash? Sorry, can't comment on an on-going investigation. Your daughter wants to know why you lied about the tooth fairy? Scotty will direct those questions to the tooth fairy's office. There's nothing he can't not answer!
And think of all the experience he'll bring to the job! Who better to have on your side when things get rough? Your wife wants to know why there's lipstick on your collar? Scotty hasn't seen the shirt, he can't comment. And he would refer your wife to the Dry Cleaners. They're not open? Look, it's really not Scotty's problem, he needs to move on to the next question. And-- he will ask-- why is your wife trying to smear the hard working, patriotic Dry Cleaner? Has she no decency?
So come on. Give the guy a break. Make Scott McClellan your bitch. And don't feel guilty about it. Clearly, he's a masochist willing to work long hours for demanding superiors; he will parrot the company line no matter how absurd; you can lie to his face and the guy will show up for work the next day, defending you against all comers. Talk about loyal. This is the kind of work ethic unseen since the Iraqi Information Minister's swansong, as the troops marched into Baghdad.
I guess it really takes a special kind of guy, to do a job like that. We can only hope that, in the next chapter of his life, Scott McClellan gets everything that's coming to him.

Riccardo Muti - conductor
Celebrated maestro shows no sign of slowing down
The brilliant conductor and musical director Riccardo Muti celebrates his 75th birthday today.
Since 2010, Muti has been conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra while retaining his directorship of the Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra, a training ensemble for talent from Italian and other European music schools, based in Ravenna and Piacenza, which he founded in 2005.
Previously, Muti held posts at the Maggio Musicale in Florence, the Philharmonia Orchestra in London, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Teatro alla Scala in Milan and the Salzburg Whitsun Festival.
He was named principal conductor and music director for the Maggio Musicale when he was only 28 and stayed there 12 years. He was at La Scala for 19 years from 1986 to 2005, his tenure ending amid rancour following a conflict with the theatre's general manager, Carlo Fontana.
Muti was born on this day in 1941 in Naples, although his childhood years were spent largely in the Puglian port city of Molfetta, near Bari. He entered the world in Naples, he says, at the insistence of his mother, Gilda, herself a Neapolitan, who travelled across the peninsula by train in the later stages of each of her five pregnancies in order that her children would also grow up as Neapolitans. In his case, the trials of the journey had the extra dimension of it being wartime.
His father, Domenico, was considered the musical member of the family, possessed of a beautiful tenor voice but a doctor by profession. He insisted his children - all boys - had a musical education and Riccardo, despite looking on enviously at his friends playing outside while he practised the violin, revealed his talent as early as seven years old.
Muti studied piano at the Conservatory of San Pietro a Majella in Naples, where he also studied philosophy. He learned the art of conducting at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan. His influences included the Italian composer Nino Rota, who would become most famous for his movie scores, the conductor Antonino Votto, who was principal assistant to Arturo Toscanini at La Scala, and the Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter.
The young Muti at the Guido Cantelli competition in
Milan in 1967, which he won
His career took off after he had won the Guido Cantelli Conducting Competition in Milan in 1967. Two years later, as well as accepting the role of musical director at Maggio Musicale, Muti married Cristina Mazzavillani, a young soprano he met at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory.
The couple exchanged vows at a tiny church in Ravenna, Mazzavillani's home town in Emilia-Romagna, with Rota and Richter among the witnesses. Some 47 years on, they still regard Ravenna as their main home. They have three children, sons Domenico and Francesco and a daughter, Chiara, a former model and actress who has also directed in the theatre. Cristina is artistic director at the annual Ravenna Festival.
A prolific recording artist who has worked with most of the world's leading orchestras and many of the most famous opera singers, Muti is particularly associated with the music of Giuseppe Verdi.
It was during a performance, celebrating the 150th anniversary of Italian unification, of Verdi's Nabucco at Rome's Teatro dell'Opera in 2011, that Muti showed his political colours, interrupting proceedings to launch into a passionate speech denouncing severe cuts to arts funding announced by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who was in the audience.
Muti had timed his outburst to follow the rousing chorus of Hebrew slaves 'Va, pensiero'. He resumed by inviting the audience to participate in an encore of 'Va, pensiero', which was delivered with such feeling that some of those onstage were moved to tears. A week later, Berlusconi reversed the cuts.
Among many honours awarded to Muti is the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic, which equates to a British knighthood.
Muti shows no sign of slowing down. He planned to spend his birthday working with young musicians and conductors from his Opera Academy at the Teatro Alighieri in Ravenna, where they are performing Verdi's La Traviata. while his diary of engagements is full for many months ahead. Next January, for example, he is scheduled to return to Teatro alla Scala for the first time since his controversial resignation, as leader of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
The pretty harbour at Molfetta, on the Adriatic Coast in
Puglia, where Muti grew up
Molfetta is a port town situated around 35km north of Bari on the Adriatic coast. It has a pretty harbour and a well restored historic quarter full of narrow alleyways. The old cathedral - the Duomo di San Corrado - which overlooks the harbour is notable for two 20-metre towers, one of which served as a watchtower during the years in which Molfetta was an embarcation point for pilgrims heading for the Holy Land.
Once the capital of the Western Roman Empire, Ravenna is notable for many elegant squares and a wealth of lavish Byzantine mosaics that can be found decorating many of the city's churches, including masterpieces studded with gold, emerald and sapphire renowned for their exquisite beauty. Look out in particular for the Galla Placidia Mausoleum, the Arian Baptistery and the Church of San Vitale.

Q: How do I compare the relative frequencies in R? I ran a study asking participants to choose between options A, B, and C based on various parameters.
For example: Which of the following did you find to be most inspirational?
My data looks something like this:

ID
Inspiration

1
A

2
C

3
B

4
C

5
B

6
C

7
B

8
C

9
A

10
B

11
A

12
B

I have calculated the relative frequencies so my data now looks like this:

ID
Inspiration
Proportion

1
A
.25

2
C
.33

3
B
.42

4
C
.33

5
B
.42

6
C
.33

7
B
.42

8
C
.33

9
A
.25

10
B
.42

11
A
.25

12
B
.42

My question is: how do I test to see if the relative frequency of each choice is significantly different from one another? That is, how do I know if the frequency of which people chose Option A is significantly different from the frequency of which they chose either B or C?
I have tried running t-tests, anovas, chi-squared tests, and two-proportion z-tests, but none of these options seem to be exactly what I'm looking for.

A: First use dput() to provide your data:
dta <- structure(list(ID = 1:12, Inspiration = c("A", "C", "B", "C",
"B", "C", "B", "C", "A", "B", "A", "B")), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -12L))

Now construct a table of the relative frequencies:
tbl <- table(dta$Inspiration)
tbl
# A B C
# 3 5 4

Now the null hypothesis that each choice is selected equally (i.e. frequency of A == B == C):
chisq.test(tbl)
#
#   Chi-squared test for given probabilities
#
# data:  tbl
# X-squared = 0.5, df = 2, p-value = 0.7788
#
# Warning message:
# In chisq.test(tbl) : Chi-squared approximation may be incorrect

No significant difference between the categories.

WASHINGTON, DC—Today, the House of Representatives passed, H.R. 5681, important legislation extending the 1958 U.S.-U.K Mutual Defense Agreement to allow continued bilateral nuclear security cooperation. The 1958 "Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (U.K.) for Cooperation on the Uses of Atomic Energy for Mutual Defense Purposes" has governed U.S. nuclear security cooperation with the U.K. for more than 50 years. The agreement is renewed every 10 years, and the current cycle will expire on December 31, 2014.
H.R. 5681, introduced last week by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-CA) and Ranking Member Eliot Engel (D-NY), extends the Agreement for 10 years.

Issa threatens subpoena this week over ObamaCare documents
Issa, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, made his demands in a letter late Wednesday to Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. His office effectively is accusing the department of stringing them along in their months-old request for documents about an $8 billion program that pays bonuses to Medicare Advantage plans. "Your staff has run out of excuses and the long delay in providing these documents is inexcusable," Issa wrote, in the letter obtained by FoxNews.com.
Kilauea Volcano lava lake reaches highest level
Kilauea Volcano has been putting on quite a show lately… as the lava lake within the Halemaumau Crater has reached its highest level since the summit eruption began in 2008. The lava lake at Kīlauea's summit was only about 150 feet below the floor of Halemaʻumaʻu crater on Sunday — the highest it has reached, according to the scientists of the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.
A third quake rattles Dominican Republic's south region
4.7 magnitude quake rattled the Central Mountain towns of Padre las Casas and Constanza Tuesday night, panicking residents. It's the third moderate tremor in as many days in the country's south-central region, felt in several towns in the area.
An extremely brief reversal of the geomagnetic field, climate variability and a super volcano
What is remarkable is the speed of the reversal: "The field geometry of reversed polarity, with field lines pointing into the opposite direction when compared to today's configuration, lasted for only about 440 years, and it was associated with a field strength that was only one quarter of today's field," explains Norbert Nowaczyk. "The actual polarity changes lasted only 250 years. In terms of geological time scales, that is very fast." During this period, the field was even weaker, with only 5% of today's field strength. As a consequence, the Earth nearly completely lost its protection shield against hard cosmic rays, leading to a significantly increased radiation exposure.
Tropical cyclones are occurring more frequently than before
"I found that there were monitoring stations along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States where they had recorded the daily tide levels all the way back to 1923. "I have looked at every time there was a rapid change in sea level and I could see that there was a close correlation between sudden changes in sea level and historical accounts of tropical storms," explains Aslak Grinsted.
Hollande: Europe is close to ending crisis
Francois Hollande said that leaders at the June summit had made the "right decisions", including planning a banking union, but he said it was now their "duty to apply them rapidly". He added: "The worst – in the sense of the fear the eurozone would break up – is over. But the best is not here yet. It's up to us to build it."
Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad calls for ceasefire in Syria
However, he rejects a Turkish proposal to replace President Bashar al-Assad, Kuwait's press reported on Thursday. "The continuity of the fighting and the killing of innocent and unarmed Syrian citizens ... is unacceptable. A ceasefire must be achieved and then a dialogue started," said Ahmadinejad, cited by the daily Al-Anbaa newspaper.
Fear of Impending Economic Collapse Or Just Manipulation?
Much like the CEOs of the BRT, these analysts didn't see the financial crisis coming. And when jobs evaporated to the tune of 400,000 to 800,000 a month, the hiring index at best tracked those job losses, and often lagged them. And the "hiring plans index" lagged those job losses by six months. It's as if these analysts had been reading old papers to figure out what would happen next.
Revolutionary Guard commander: Israel will be destroyed if Iran is attacked
Israel will "definitely" face fierce retaliation if it attacks Iranian nuclear sites, the acting commander of Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard warned Thursday. The remarks by Gen. Hossein Salami appear to be part of Iranian efforts to portray any strike against it as the trigger for a regional conflict that could draw in Iranian proxies, such as Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group, on Israel's borders.
Alleged plot to blow up federal reserve foiled by FBI in New York
The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday arrested a person suspected of plotting to explode a bomb in New York, a source familiar with the situation said. The person was arrested in lower Manhattan on Wednesday morning on terrorism charges, a person familiar with the matter said. The person asked not to be identified because the case was not public. The public was never in danger, the source said.
Global Food Reserves Have Reached Their Lowest Level In Almost 40 Years
For six of the last eleven years the world has consumed more food than it has produced. This year, drought in the United States and elsewhere has put even more pressure on global food supplies than usual. As a result, global food reserves have reached their lowest level in almost 40 years.
Ice Age Magnetic Reversal Was Global Event And Linked With Super Volcano Eruption And Rapid Climate Variability, Says New Research
There was already localized evidence of polarity reversals during this time, but with the new research, the theory that it was a global event is now strongly supported. And very interestingly, it is one that nearly coincided with the very fast, short-term climate variability of the last ice age and the largest volcanic eruption in the northern hemisphere during the last 100,000 years.
Syria crisis: 28,000 disappeared, say rights groups
Human rights groups working in Syria say at least 28,000 people have disappeared after being abducted by soldiers or militia. They say they have the names of 18,000 people missing since anti-government protests began 18 months ago and know of another 10,000 cases. Online activist group Avaaz says "nobody is safe" from a deliberate government campaign of terror.

China's economy slows but data hints at rebound
China's economy has slowed for a seventh quarter as problems in Europe and the US hurt demand for its goods.

However, there were signs that the world's second-biggest economy was now stabilising and rebounding.

Why the World Won't End Until at Least 2024!
on Thursday, October 11, 2012 by Bill Salus
This article was written for Jewish Voice Magazine's January – February 2013 edition.
Fortunately astute Bible prophecy believers weren't surprised when they woke up on December 22, 2012 and discovered that the Mayan Mesoamerican Long Count calendar was inaccurate. All the hype about the end of the world occurring on December 21, 2012 was baseless to them because they recognized that this present world wouldn't end until seven-years of tribulation passed upon the earth.
The seven-year "Tribulation Period," as it is commonly referred to in many Christian circles, is a major eschatological theme in the Bible. Other associated biblical tags for this period are, "Daniel's Seventieth Week," "The Day of the Lord," "The Time of Jacob's Trouble," and several more. According to Daniel 9:26-27this period commences when the Antichrist confirms a seven–year covenant with "many," including the nation of Israel. We recognize Israel's participation in this treaty from Isaiah 28:15 and 18, and Daniel 9:24.
Isaiah's verses inform us that Israel at the time is extremely concerned about some "overflowing scourge" that is sweeping through the world. The Israeli leadership believes that by partaking of this future treaty, which Isaiah calls a "covenant with death," enables the Jewish state to avert destruction. Daniel 9:24 clarifies that seventy weeks of years are determined for the Jews and the holy city of Jerusalem to accomplish seven important spiritual feats.
There are many portions of scripture that split this seven-year period of tribulation into two-parts. It is commonly taught among Bible prophecy teachers that the first three and one-half years present Israel with a period of peace, but that peace is abruptly interrupted at the mid-point when the Antichrist enters into the coming third Jewish temple, and fulfills the Daniel 11:31 and 12:11 prophecies Christ warned about in Matthew 24:15.
This abominable act of the Antichrist is commonly called the "Abomination of Desolation." From that point forward the Antichrist attempts a final genocidal attempt of the Jews during the last three and one-half years of tribulation, which is often referred to as the "Great Tribulation" period. During the Great Tribulation Zechariah 13:8-9 warns that two-thirds of the Israelis will be killed, but fortunately the other third will survive and become a faithful believing remnant.
The glaring point of all this mind-boggling prophetic information above is that the Antichrist has not confirmed this seven-year covenant with Israel yet. Therefore the end of this present world can't come for at least seven more years. In fact, I explain in my book, Revelation Road, Hope Beyond the Horizon, why there is probably a minimum of eleven and one-half years remaining on the end time's clock. Below is a quote from the pertinent section of Revelation Road, but first here is an important preface.
"THE EZEKIEL 38-39 GOG OF MAGOG INVASION IS PROBABLY A PRE-TRIBULATION EVENT."
In fifty-two highly descriptive passages the prophet Ezekiel predicts that nine sizable populations will invade Israel in the "latter years." This is a prophecy that many Bible prophecy teachers are expecting to find final fulfillment in the near future. The image identifies the consensus among many scholars of who these ancient populations represent on a modern day map. (1) (The arrows point from Gomer, Meshech, Tubal, Persia, Magog, Togarmah, Put, Libya, and Cush)
Fortunately, the Lord intervenes on Israel's behalf and divinely defeats this formidable Gog of Magog coalition according to Ezekiel 38:18-39:6. Subsequently, the nation of Israel embarks upon a national campaign to harness the energy from the weapons of these defeated enemies. With this in mind the quote from Revelation Road reads as follows;
"Ezekiel 39:9-10 suggests Israel will possess the know-how to convert the weapons of mass destruction possessed by the Ezekiel 38 invaders into fuel. Israel appears to utilize these weapons for fuel and energy consumption for a period of seven-years. This will be no problem during the peaceful first half of the tribulation, but not likely during the perilous second half, because Jews will be fleeing for their lives, rather than harnessing this energy.
Therefore, many scholars suggest that Ezekiel 38 must conclude, not commence, no later than three and one-half years before the seven-years of tribulation even begins. This allows the Jews seven full years to burn the weapons before they begin fleeing for their lives. Realistically, it will probably take approximately a year to even collect, dismantle, and covert the weapons cache prior to that.
Here's how this could break down incrementally in real time. Allow about one year for the Ezekiel 38 battle to occur and the weapons to be converted. Remember, assembling a coalition and mobilizing an invasion of the scope described in Ezekiel 38 is no twenty-four hour undertaking. Then consider an additional seven-year span to burn the weapons. And lastly, add in the final three and one-half years of Great Tribulation, for a total of eleven and one-half years.
If this hypothesis is correct, this means that at least (underscore at least because it's probably going to be longer) that from the time the Ezekiel 38 invasion begins until the second coming of Christ to set up His kingdom, there will exist approximately eleven and one-half years. I could be more technical on the timing, becauseDaniel 12:11-12 adds an additional seventy-five days to the equation. His infamous 'Seventieth Week' ends, and then the two and one-half month interval kicks in, at which time the sheep and goat judgment of Matthew 25:32-46 seemingly takes place." (2)
In conclusion; according to the Bible prophecies listed in this article, it appears that the present world appears to survive at least until the year 2024! This is not a prediction, but rather an educated prophetic observation.
Some scholars teach that little or no time separates the Gog of Magog invasion from the Tribulation period, and others believe the invasion actually occurs during the Tribulation. I agree with those that teach the Ezekiel 38 invasion must conclude at least three and one-half years before the seven-years of tribulation commences. After the Ezekiel invasion Israel may have more than seven-years of weapons supply for energy consumption. They could have ten or more years for all we know. But one thing seems almost certain, that at the mid-point of the Tribulation period when the genocidal campaign of the Antichrist is in full swing, Israelis appear to be fleeing for their lives rather than converting enemy weapons into sources of energy.

Hebrew for Christians
We are living in stressful times, chaverim. The Apostle Paul wrote that the time before the "End of Days" would be "perilous" (χαλεπός) and full of human depravity (2 Tim. 3:1-5). In light of the raging spiritual war going on all around us, the following needs to be restated: "The important thing is to not lose your mind..."
Hebrew for Christians shared a link.
Like Noah who foresaw the great cataclysm, the world above our heads and under our feet is destined to destruction, as we await the new world promised to come: "Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth beneath; for the heaven...See More
Isa51
Isaiah 51:6 - Neviim
www.hebrew4christians.com
We look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal... For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead. Therefore we are strangers and exiles on the earth, looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God." (2 Cor. 4:18; Rom. 1:20; Heb. 11:10,13)
The offence of the cross (τὸ σκάνδαλον τοῦ σταυροῦ) means, among other things, there is only one way to get right with God, that all paths do not lead to the same destination, and that what we believe really matters. To deny the utterly unique claims of the Messiah is to be ashamed of Him and to negate the significance of the cross. And while we must affirm that the love of God is universal in its scope and application for all people, we must reject any kind of universalism that claims that people can get right with God apart from the cross of Yeshua.
"Noah did all that God commanded him... so he did" (Gen. 6:22). Noah labored for 120 years building the ark in obedience to God's command, a period of time alloted to demonstrate that the LORD is slow to anger and willing to give an individual time to repent (Gen. 6:3; 2 Pet. 3:9). Although he was told there was going to be a great flood, and that the ark would save him, Noah did not see any sign that the disaster was imminent, and indeed he finally entered the ark seven days before the rains began (Gen. 7:1-ff).
How could a righteous man like Noah have fallen into a state of drunkenness and shame? Perhaps because he lost sight of his purpose as he returned back to earth after the flood... He became a "man of the ground" who sought satisfaction in the fruit of the earth (Gen. 9:20-21). Perhaps Noah thought of himself as a "second Adam." After all, both Adam and Noah lived at the beginning of a new world, and both were entrusted to care for the earth's trees and plants. The Targum Yonason says that the "Tree of Knowledge" was the grapevine, and perhaps Noah took it upon himself to "recreate" Eden by planting grapes... Both men were tempted by the fruit of this earth, and both failed the test.
After the flood waters began to subside, Noah first sent out a raven, but it vainly circled the ark. Noah waited seven more days and sent out a dove instead. The Talmud states that doves represent peace because they mate for life and glide gently through the air; they also have a peaceful "cooing" sound and are non-raptorial, feeding on seeds and fruits. Doves are also kosher and the only bird spe
cies that could be offered upon the altar for sacrifice at the Temple. After the second attempt, the dove returned with an olive tree branch in its beak, anticipating both the holy olive oil that was used to fuel the menorah and also the oil used to anoint the High Priest and kings of Israel...Miriam, the mother of Yeshua offered a pair of turtledoves, and the Holy Spirit descended upon Yeshua in the form of a dove.

"WEEKLY FEATURED STUDY"
Someone asked me this week what I thought about James MacDonald having T. D. Jakes at the Elephant Room. Well, to put it simply, I think it was great! James took a bold step in reaching out and inviting a man that some Evangelicals don't want to accept. I can understand having genuine questions about Jakes' position on the doctrine of the Trinity considering his longtime involvement with "Oneness Pentecostalism," and his own admission that he at one time held to an anti-trinitarian view of God's nature. But he has also, on several occasions over the past few years, stated that he no longer holds a "Oneness" or "modalistic" view of God and now believes in the doctrine of the Trinity. This he clearly articulated once again at the Elephant Room.
Jakes formally held the Oneness doctrine, also known as "Jesus Only," which teaches that Jesus is both the Father and the Son. The term Father refers to His deity, the term Son refers to His humanity. According to the Oneness doctrine, there is no Trinity—one God in three persons; rather there is one God who expresses Himself in different modes, sometimes as Father, sometimes as Son, and sometimes as Spirit. Now this teaching is certainly contrary to the biblical doctrine of the triune nature of God and is therefore "heretical," but to say that those who hold this view are not Christians is in my opinion going too far. Granted, it is an incorrect view regarding the nature of God, but it is not like other anti-trinitarian views that deny the full deity of Christ. I personally do not think you can put those who hold the Oneness doctrine in the same category as a Jehovah's Witness or a Mormon. I might be wrong, but that's the way I see it at this point. Should we seek to correct the view of the Oneness Pentecostals? Yes we should, in the same way we would seek to correct any person or group that has fallen into theological error. What I don't think we should do is spurn them or cast a final eternal judgment on them.
Now back to T. D. Jakes and those Evangelicals who are still refusing to accept him. This is sad! Give the brother a break. What else could he have done to affirm his belief in the Trinity? He's declared publicly that he "now" (showing he's moved away from his former position) believes that God exists in three persons. He even explained that during the process of changing his position he began to see that there were things the Bible says about the Father that couldn't be said about the Son, and things the Bible says about the Son that couldn't be said about the Father, necessitating distinct persons within the divine nature. He did say that he wasn't all that crazy about the use of the term "persons" when speaking about the distinctions within the divine nature, but others have expressed similar things, feeling that sometimes the term person might be too limiting or give the impression that God is a person just like we are. This seems to me to be the kind of theological "hair splitting" that has been the bane of the church from generation to generation, and something that, God help us, we really need to outgrow.
My hat is off to James and to the others who came together with T. D. Jakes for a time of honest dialogue and fellowship in Christ at the Elephant Room. The church desperately needs more of this kind of thing. After all, Jesus didn't say that the world would know we were His disciples by our total agreement on all the finer points of theology; He did say that they would know we were His disciples by our love for one another. The Elephant Room was a beautiful display of Christ's disciples doing just that.

THE WEEKLY WORD
WHEN I WAS A CHILD I THOUGHT AS A CHILD WOULD.
Growing up I watched John Wayne, Errol Flyinn, Classic movies of Good conquering Evil and even greater stories of Dying for your Country.
When I was a child I thought dying for your country was good thing.
Getting older I used to watch Battle Cry, King Arthur, Exodus and many movies that all wanted to tell me to die for and Idea. To give my life fo
r a higher calling, be devoted to the IDEAL even if it meant my death.
When I was a child I thought ideas were a good thing to believe in.
Later in life people told me I needed to solve social issues. I watched SCI FI and fantasy movies telling me I could make a difference, I could change the world, I could save the planet, the hungry, the poor and the unborn.
When I was a young man I thought solving issues were a good thing.
I got Old.
I have seen in retro movies and the same stories being told again to die for your country. And I have seen a generation of people actually think bombing each other and fighting wars for peace actually work....
I am too old for that. Been there, done that.
I have seen the ideal societies again playing push me pull you with everyone saying I have to make a change because it really is up to me stop Abortion, Fix the Debt, Create Jobs, Do healthcare, renew the world....
Sorry, I am too old for that.
Been there, done that.
You know even Christians now are telling me I have to vote Mormon and put away being a Christian because if I don't vote I am not saved or somehow I am not "with them"
So sorry, I have decided to Follow Jesus.
I don't follow men, I don't follow creeds. I don't follow you when you have high idea's or moral dilemmas. I don't worry or fret or act like I can save the World. I can't
I follow Jesus.
OTHERS MAY DIE FOR ALOT OF REASON:
I HAVE DECIDED TO LIVE WITH JESUS.

The Religion of Politics
People don't want to admit how Religious they are by practicing politics. And yert they do the same things in politics they do in religion.
People will put Faith in a candidate. Organizers want you to Believe in a party.Dogmas are campaign promises, made by men but now power in them to be true. Doctrines are party platforms people want everyone to agree on but seldon do. I really don't see any difference between a religious fanatic and poltical junkie. They both go to and use extremes to accomplish one purpose.
As good as religion can be at times and abused at others, I see the same truth in politics. Truth, Honesty, Integrity, Social Justice, Moral righteousness, just like religion I see politics wanting those to be done while in fact doing the opposite, much like religion. Wars, Debates, Agreements, Money, Economics, Health, Commerce, Trade. I do find the RELIGION OF POLITICS often more active in America than relgions of man.
Sadly I see On the Altar of Politcs America crucified of her Soul for the sake of Elections and little Grace or God involved at all
Religion and Politics cannot solve personal relationships, only people can.
Jesus wanted nothing do with Politics or Religion
If it meant giving up God in the Process
Have you?

If you are in the equipment rental or sales, or are in the material handling or freight business, and have a number outlets across a large region, mapping data is one of the best ways to manage and grow your business.
1) You can find information super fast!
When you need information about a sale or a hire, it is almost always tied to a location. Creating a map with data pins, unique to each location, is a speedy way to get to the stuff that really matters: sales volumes, contact names & numbers, stock, available equipment for hire, etc.
Eyeball a map and, instantly, you'll spot the areas not being served by your business. Overlay demographic data (key industries, population, etc.) and you have a tool that shows if a proposed new business location is viable or not. Or do a spatial analysis (like radius mapping, which creates a circle of a set distance around locations) to find out if an existing outlet could supply an area that is not currently served by you.
Plot data points, which contain useful information, on a map and that map will engage your audience far more than a B & W list or table. Research shows that if information is conveyed with color and animation, there is a higher likelihood of it keeping a viewers attention. (That's why we all love the internet rather than books!) Let's face it: a map is never going to be Toy Story, but it is far more engaging than a spreadsheet!
A map on your website allows customers find the stuff they want, with all the necessary facts attached. For example, where can they hire or buy the equipment they need? What stock is available at a local outlet? How much does it cost? Is there a service provider – a helper – in the nearby vicinity to assist with load and off loading of equipment? Even if you can't fit this level of detail in the map itself, you can build a link into a point that will take customers to another web page that will!
5) You can create a map in jig time!
When we talk about creating a map today, we're talking about taking existing, trustworthy online maps (because they're the most up to date) and customizing them with relevant data that you find in your spreadsheets (assuming the spreadsheets have some location element – address, ZIP, etc). This means you can create a interactive map in minutes!
Want to see how your business can benefit?


can you be crazy and know you're crazy?
I haven't put out the next post I'm writing in the series on satiety, physical and metaphorical.
I haven't finished the thoughts on transformation as momentum through critical mass rather than singleton skip from black to white.
Several collections I've promised to review languish in the basket of my guilt.
I haven't taken courage to publish my horrific "gained weight from a diet pill" story, although I think the story might well offer benefits: what said pill actually does might be useful in other contexts.
So, big failz, yes? This post is about why. Also, perhaps, about why I've more or less kept some of "it" together despite.
This is going to be another metaphor post. Something I've been musing on for a while that, eyeballed the right way, metaphored appropriately, fits perfecly into the Independence Day discourse.
Sometimes you have to hold onto something in order to let something go.
As reclusive as I'm drawn to be, no man, or woman, or alien-girl, is an island. Sure, I live alone, but I wouldn't be putting this out into the ether if you weren't there waiting to read it. Yes, I do mean you. Meanwhile, I've been wretched of late over a scenario involving the scale, of which I may share more soon. And the accretal couldn't have happened were there no exchange of materials between myself and my environment. And on a different level of interdependence, I'd be handling the situation far less well were I not able to talk with my mom about it.
But back to the "hold on in order to let go."
A well-respected and charming functional medicine doctor, Dr Alan Christianson, recently published an article about satiation in the context of (implicitly calorie-restricted) dieting for weight loss. After running through a few studies purporting to show that the foods you might expect to be satiating are not so, he settles on potatoes--but not chips or fries, mind you--as the most satiating food, and crowns his article with a "recipe": boiled salted potatoes, cooled and finished with a little olive oil.
Now it's not clear to me if the brief research survey is mere preamble to the drumroll recipe or if the recipe is mere rider to the 'shocking research findings,' nor what sort of naive audience is intended here, but there are so many things about this article that seem so wrong to me, it'll probably take two posts. Let's get started.


On a clear night away from the towns and cities, the stars are amazing so I set myself a challenge to try and photograph the night sky. It was to be both challenging and dangerous.
Firstly I had to wake up at some unearthly of the morning after the sun was well below the horizon but without the moon. I left one of the windows open on the flysheet so that I could see what the sky was like. On the designated night I woke up but just saw greyness so thought that it was cloudy. An hour or so later I checked and the sky was perfect - In my drousyness and with only one eye open I hadn't actually been looking out of the window the first time!
The next part was very challenging mentally and slightly hazardous. I had to actually get out of my nice warm sleeping bag which was very difficult. It was hazardous because I had to get out of the sleeping bag, find my camera and get out of the tent without waking Ali who was snoring away beside me.
I eventually managed to persuade myself to get up and with a bit of stumbling in the blackness found my camera and remote shutter release.
Now I had to get out of the tent which involved opening two zips. I reconed that if I synchronised the unzipping with Ali's snoring I might get away with it. The zip on the inner tent went well and after about 10 snores it was open enough for me to get through. The outer zip was a bit trickier as it was bigger and noisier. Again carefully timing the zipping with the snoring I managed to undo it.
Now for the next stage - fumble around for the camera and get outside. Then it happened - RIPPPP! I had forgotten about the three small pieces of velcro that held the outer door closed. There was a bit of a snort from the behind me but I had gotten away with it.
The next part of the operation was a bit more hazardous as I was standing in the bush in my birthday suit with goodness knows what poisonous creatures around me and under my toes waiting to bite or sting! I think snakes go to sleep at night don't they?
With everything set up I now had to guess at the settings for the camera. My first guess was a two minute exposure at 6400ASA with the 8mm lens. The camera was mounted on its hi-tech tripod (On top of a towel laid on top of the cooker). I pushed the button and held it down while counting 120secs. Was that a bat that flew past and what is that on my foot? There are scorpions here. After the estimated two minutes with the camera pointed directly upwards the result was overexposed, an almost white screen with a few bright dots. I didn't know but there had been a bushfire on the neighbouring Kangaroo Island and the smoke was drifting across us.
The next attempt was more successful, same settings but with a 15s exposure. Here is the result.
That was enough, it was time to put the operation in reverse and get back into the tent and back to bed wthout awakening Ali - it worked.
I will try again when we are in the desert later in the trip.

The Beatles' Second Album is the second Capitol Records album by the English rock band the Beatles, and their third album released in the United States including Introducing... The Beatles, which was issued three months earlier by Vee-Jay Records. Following its release in April 1964, The Beatles' Second Album replaced Meet the Beatles! at number 1 on the Billboard Top LPs chart in the US. The album was compiled mostly from leftover tracks from the UK album With the Beatles and Long Tall Sally EP, which are predominantly rock and roll and R&B covers, and rounded out with several Lennon-McCartney-penned non-album b-sides and the hit single "She Loves You". Among critics, it is considered the band's purest rock and roll album and praised for its soulful takes on both contemporary black music hits and original material.

In 2004 The Beatles' Second Album was issued for the first time on compact disc (catalogue number CDP 7243 8 66877 2 2), (CDP 7243 8 66878 2 1) as part of The Capitol Albums, Volume 1 boxed set and was issued in a miniature cardboard replica of the original album sleeve containing the US mono and stereo mixes.  In 2014, the album was released on CD again, individually and included in the  Beatles boxed set The U.S. Albums, which contained the album's running order but with UK mixes as remastered in 2009.

An album, using the same title and similar cover art but containing different songs from the US release, was issued on the EMI subsidiary label Odeon in 1964 for the Japanese market. The same cover art was used for the album The Beatles' Long Tall Sally issued by Capitol Records of Canada.

Background and song selection

With the massive popularity of Meet the Beatles! through the early part of 1964 and a desire for additional Beatles product, Capitol Records decided to compile a follow-up album as soon as possible. For this, a backlog of some 25 songs, issued by EMI in Britain and many other territories across the world from 1962 onwards, had yet to be issued by Capitol. The Beatles' Second Album was the first album of the group's work to be assembled by the company exclusively for the US market, Meet the Beatles! having been a reconfigured and shorter version of the band's second EMI LP, With the Beatles. Despite its title, however, Second Album was in fact the third Beatles LP in the United States, since Vee-Jay Records had released Introducing... The Beatles in January 1964. Vee-Jay had been able to issue the latter LP – which comprised most of the Beatles' EMI debut, Please Please Me – due to Capitol's initial lack of interest in marketing the Beatles' music.

Second Album was a collection of material from various UK releases and recording sessions dating back to March 1963. Included were the five remaining tracks, all cover versions, from With the Beatles: "Roll Over Beethoven", "You Really Got a Hold on Me", "Devil in Her Heart", "Money (That's What I Want)" and "Please Mr. Postman". Added to these were "Thank You Girl", the B-side to the single "From Me to You"; "She Loves You" and its B-side, "I'll Get You"; "You Can't Do That" (the B-side of "Can't Buy Me Love"), from the upcoming A Hard Day's Night UK soundtrack; and two new songs, "Long Tall Sally" and "I Call Your Name". The latter tracks would be released in June 1964 in the UK on the Long Tall Sally EP.

Mixes

Capitol's engineers, headed by record executive Dave Dexter, Jr., added considerable echo and reverb to the songs in order to give the album the atmosphere of a live performance. The inclusion of "Thank You Girl" marked the only stereo version of the song released on any album in the US or UK for over 40 years, until another stereo version was released on the 2009 remastered edition of the Past Masters compilation. The same stereo mix of "Thank You Girl" on The Beatles' Second Album was included on The Beatles Beat, released in West Germany and the Netherlands, as well as the original 2004 CD issue of The Beatles Second Album as included in The Capitol Albums, Volume 1 box set. The Capitol album mix of "Thank You Girl" is also unique in that it contains three additional harmonica riffs by John Lennon – two during the bridge and one at the end. For its US album debut, Capitol took this stereo version and transferred it into a two-to-one stereo-to-mono mixdown for the mono LP release, thus creating an alternative mono mix of the song. The stereo version of "Money" also underwent the same two-to-one stereo-to-mono mixdown, thereby creating another alternative mono mix.

For the mono version of "I Call Your Name", the cowbell comes in at the very beginning of the song; the stereo version features the cowbell after the beginning of the vocal. George Harrison's opening 12-string guitar phrase is also different between the mono and stereo versions. On "Long Tall Sally", reverb was added to the stereo version. The "dry" mono mix of "Long Tall Sally" is noticeably different from the mono mix with slight echo that was  issued in the UK, and is unique to the Second Album. The mono version of "You Can't Do That" is also different from the version on UK A Hard Day's Night LP.

Because "I'll Get You" and "She Loves You" were never mixed in stereo, Duophonic/fake stereo versions were made for this album.

Release
Capitol Records issued The Beatles' Second Album on 10 April 1964 with the catalogue number Capitol ST 2080. The tagline in the advertising for the release read: "It's Here! It's on Capitol!! and It's ALL Beatles!!!" In Canada, this record could not be called The Beatles' Second Album, since Beatlemania! With the Beatles and Twist and Shout had preceded it. A slightly different track listing was released for the Canadian market with similar cover art, under the title The Beatles' Long Tall Sally. In 1968, The Beatles' Second Album, The Early Beatles and Meet the Beatles! were issued in Canada, although the earlier Canadian LPs remained in print (eventually with stereo mixes) until the late 1980s, when the CD era precipitated their deletion.

In the US, the album debuted at number 16 on the Billboard Top LPs for the week ending April 25, 1964. It peaked at number one the following week, replacing Meet the Beatles!, which had held the top spot for eleven weeks (for the last nine of which Vee-Jay's Introducing... had placed at number two). The Beatles' Second Album remained atop the chart for five consecutive weeks and stayed in the top 200 until May 1965. It reached 1,668,435 copies sold by 31 December 1964, and 2,051,486 copies by the end of the decade. It was certified Gold by the RIAA on 13 April 1964, and 2× Platinum on 10 January 1997.

Critical legacy

Second Album was one of the first four rock albums purchased by future music critic Robert Christgau. Writing of the album in 1969, he said it disproves the fallacy among new rock scholars and listeners that the Beatles had not succeeded artistically until the more melodic period of Rubber Soul (1965) and Revolver (1966). Instead, he argued it was their ebullient performing style, as on the Second Albums covers of African-American rock and roll songs, which "were touched with soul (compare their Money to the Beach Boys' Barbara Ann) but avoided the sodden seriousness of other white imitators." He included the album in his basic rock "library" of 25 albums for Stereo Review that year, and later in a more comprehensive library of essential 1950s and 1960s recordings for Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981). In 2020, Christgau voted for the album in his ballot for Rolling Stone magazine's third edition of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".

According to Bruce Eder of AllMusic, The Beatles' Second Album "stands as probably the best pure rock & roll album ever issued of the group's music" because it "avoid[s] any trace of the pop ballads favored by Paul McCartney that usually slowed down the group's other early albums, and the result was the longest uninterrupted body of hard rock & roll and R&B in their entire output." In his 2014 review of the Beatles' Capitol albums, for Guitar World, Jeff Slate commented that "the oomph of the over-compressed Dexter tracks" had since been removed, but the album was arguably their "first great rock and roll record". Referring to the assortment of tracks assembled by Capitol, Darryl Sterdan of the Toronto Sun wrote: "The hodge-podgery begins [here] ... Surprisingly enough, it holds together OK, thanks to a strong string of rockers like Money, Roll Over Beethoven and Long Tall Sally."

Make Gun Companies Pay Blood Money
By LUCINDA M. FINLEY and JOHN G. CULHANE
GUN manufacturers have gone to great lengths to avoid any moral responsibility or legal accountability for the social costs of gun violence — the deaths and injuries of innocent victims, families torn apart, public resources spent on gun-related crime and medical expenses incurred.
But there is a simple and direct way to make them accountable for the harm their products cause. For every gun sold, those who manufacture or import it should pay a tax. The money should then be used to create a compensation fund for innocent victims of gun violence.
This proposal is based on a fundamentally conservative principle — that those who cause injury should be made to "internalize" the cost of their activity by paying for it. Now, gun manufacturers and sellers are mostly protected from lawsuits by federal law.
As it happens, a model for this approach already exists. Under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, those injured by vaccines are eligible for compensation from a fund financed by an excise tax on the sale of every dose of vaccine. In creating this no-fault system in the 1980s, Congress sought to provide care for those injured by vaccines while protecting manufacturers from undue litigation.
Vaccines are essential for public health but inevitably cause harm to a small number of people. Since all of us benefit from a vaccinated population, the compensation program spreads the costs when things go wrong to everyone who received a vaccination, rather than leaving the injured and their families to bear the cost. It also avoids the time, expense and inefficiencies of litigation, and dispenses with the need to prove fault. The compensation fund thus ensures that vaccine manufacturers will remain in the market rather than being forced out by the prospect of huge legal judgments against them.
Guns, of course, are not essential for public health. But Congress has made painfully clear that it values the largely unfettered ownership of guns and their manufacture — despite the social costs of the violence that results when guns work as designed. For that reason, it makes sense to tax gun manufacturers directly. The result would be that those who derive a benefit from guns — for hunting, target practice, self-defense or simply for collecting — would shoulder some of the social costs of their choice as manufacturers pass along the cost of the tax to them.
Such a tax might also exert at least some economic pressure on manufacturers to market especially lethal guns less aggressively, or to implement safer gun technologies, like "smart guns" that could be used only by the registered owner. Right now, they have no such incentive — they're immune from most lawsuits, and guns are expressly exempt from regulation by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which is supposed to protect the public from unreasonable risks from consumer products. (Thus, the commission can ban lawn darts or cork guns, but not real firearms.)
Since safer guns would mean fewer compensable injuries or deaths, the tax should be adjustable, rising when injuries and deaths increase, and falling when they decrease. The tax rate could also be adjusted to reflect the relative lethality of guns. Those guns that are most often used to kill or maim the largest number of people could be taxed at a higher rate, while guns used primarily for hunting or sport that are much less often involved in fatalities or injuries would be taxed at a lower rate.
Gun makers know that their products are lethal, and sometimes used illegally. They know that some of their dealers' sales practices contribute to guns' falling into criminal hands. They know that each year a significant number of innocent people will be killed or maimed by the use of guns. But quite often, the shooters themselves cannot be held fully or even partially accountable, financially, because they are unknown, destitute or dead.
A serious discussion will be required about the amount of compensation, and whether victims' family members would also be entitled to recover from the fund. These important conversations about eligibility and amounts are common to all compensation funds. Just as these questions have been and will be tackled for these other funds, they can be thoughtfully and carefully worked out for this one.
Some of the victims of recent mass shootings — including the massacres at Aurora, Colo., Newtown, Conn., and Virginia Tech, as well as those who survived the 9/11 attack — have recently banded together to ask Congress to enact a National Compassion Fund, to make sure that charitable donations get to their victims rather than being swallowed up in administrative costs.
That's a good idea, but it is not enough. Gun manufacturers should pony up. A national tax on the sale of guns is the way to do that.

They already tried that with tobacco companies, court cases to hold them liable for smoking related disease and death fell through. If you follow the same logic, alcohol producers should be held liable for drink driver wrecks, and drink-fuelled violence. The stores/bars could be held liable for the same things. Car manufacturers should be held liable for any accidents their cars cause. Knife makers would be liable for injuries/deaths caused by their knives and food manufacturers should be held liable for causing people to get fat, and liable for all those weight-related diseases. The list of liabilities could be endless.

The sick twisted lengths liberals go to all to avoid 1 simple thing; personal responsibility.
Particularly distasteful is the vaccine comparison. Not anything close to a valid comparison at all. You are compelled to take vaccines. try and get your kid into school without them, try and get into school without them yourself. Yes, since you're forced to take them, there's a fund set up. What on earth does that have to do with a gun? Nobody forces you to buy a gun, look at a gun, touch a gun, think about a gun. Nothing.
The person who takes a gun and shoots someone is at fault, period. It's that simple. As others have said, if you make the manufacturer of ANY item responsible for what an individual does with that item, then even toilet paper is going to go up in price 10X over.
Yes, I could shove TP down your throat and choke you. I suppose your family could sue Angel Soft for millions, right?
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Liberalism is a mental disorder and it's chief symptoms are rampant hypocrisy and projection.
Oh yeah, anybody have these brain surgeon's email addresses?
ampaterry
How about this -
WHEN a gun is used to commit a crime, the manufacturer is charged some fee - say $1000 - for that incident.
But, to be fair, every time a gun is used to PREVENT a crime, the manufacturer is PAID that same fee, for that incident.
Extremely fair, and the result would be a true windfall for firearms manufacturers - since we all know that guns PREVENT far more crimes than they are used to commit.

Interesting, ampaterry, interesting...but then they would do like Mayor Bloomberg does, and lump all people shot, criminal or terrorist, as "victims of gun violence" no matter if it's a cop or a legally armed civilian that shot them. Getting past that, yeah, I like it.
CCHolder is absolutely right - once that Pandora's Box is opened, it gets real ugly.
MSGT-R
Then the automobile industry should be held to the same standards. There are more innocent deaths caused by negligent operation of cars than there are of guns.
If you suck, go back to the range.

Q: Adding Dynamic Row with Date Fields jQuery I have a web application I am developing and it includes a dynamic adding & removing rows which is already implemented. However, I am having difficulties with adding the date to the dynamic rows. In the first static row, the datetimepicker works, but on the dynamic rows it doesn't work as if its not reading it.
Below is my code

                    <input type="hidden" class="form-control" name="count[]" value="1">1
                    <input type="text" class="form-control stockDate" id="stockDate" name="date[]">
                    <input type="text" class="form-control stock" id="stock" name="stock[]">
                    <input type="text" class="form-control price" id="price" name="price[]">
                    <input type="hidden" value="{{ $c->id }}" name="vehicle_id[]">

and here is my jquery

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue.
Thanks

A: write index in name attributes:

                    <input type="text" class="form-control stockDate" id="stockDate" name="date[1]">
                    <input type="text" class="form-control stock" id="stock" name="stock[1]">
                    <input type="text" class="form-control price" id="price" name="price[1]">

very simple...

js code :
$('#add-row').click(function() {
        var no = ($('.body tr').length-0)+1;
        var tr = '
'+no+'	'+
             '<input type="text" class="form-control stockDate" id="stockDate" name="date['+no+']">	' +
                  '<input type="text" class="form-control stock" name="stock['+no+']"/>	' +
                  '<input type="text" class="form-control price" name="price['+no+']"/>	' +
                  '
';
        $('.body').append(tr);
    });

A: This is happening because when you call datepicker() you do so on already existing items on the DOM. When you insert new rows, they aren't initialized. You have to attach it explicitly before inserting the element or delegate the job to a parent element.

$('.stockDate').datepicker({
  format: 'yyyy-mm-dd'
});

$('#add-row').click(function() {
  var no = ($('tr').length - 0) + 1;
  var tr = '
<input type="hidden" class="form-control" name="count[]" value="' + no + '">' + no + '	' +
    '<input type="text" class="form-control stockDate" id="stockDate" name="date[]">	' +
    '<input type="text" class="form-control stock" name="stock[]"/>	' +
    '<input type="text" class="form-control price" name="price[]"/>	' +
    '<input type="hidden" value="145" name="vehicle_id[]">
';

    // Init the datepicker for the new element
  $('#container').append(tr).find('.stockDate').datepicker({
    format: 'yyyy-mm-dd'
  });
});

<button id="add-row">Add</button>

    <input type="hidden" class="form-control" name="count[]" value="1">1
    <input type="text" class="form-control stockDate" id="stockDate" name="date[]">
    <input type="text" class="form-control stock" name="stock[]" />
    <input type="text" class="form-control price" name="price[]" />
    <input type="hidden" value="1234" name="vehicle_id[]">

Delegate version. Might be less performant since it gets executed every time the element gets the focus, will depend on implementation:

$('#container').on('focus', '.stockDate', function() {
  $(this).datepicker({ format: 'yyyy-mm-dd' });
});

$('#add-row').click(function() {
  var no = ($('tr').length - 0) + 1;
  var tr = '
<input type="hidden" class="form-control" name="count[]" value="' + no + '">' + no + '	' +
    '<input type="text" class="form-control stockDate" id="stockDate" name="date[]">	' +
    '<input type="text" class="form-control stock" name="stock[]"/>	' +
    '<input type="text" class="form-control price" name="price[]"/>	' +
    '<input type="hidden" value="145" name="vehicle_id[]">
';

    $('#container').append(tr);
});

<button id="add-row">Add</button>

    <input type="hidden" class="form-control" name="count[]" value="1">1
    <input type="text" class="form-control stockDate" id="stockDate" name="date[]">
    <input type="text" class="form-control stock" name="stock[]" />
    <input type="text" class="form-control price" name="price[]" />
    <input type="hidden" value="1234" name="vehicle_id[]">

Tobii's New Partnership With HeadVantage Will Aim to Bring Immersive Fan Experiences to Sports Broadcasts
Eye tracking provider Tobii and HeadVantage, a startup working with NBC Sports and Sky Sports to equip athletes with miniature cameras and sensors, are teaming up.Courtesy of Tobii AB
Eye-tracking technology company Tobii has signed a deal to integrate its sensors with HeadVantage, an athlete wearable camera startup that works with broadcasters such as NBC Sports and Sky Sports. The companies plan to work together to enhance the fan broadcast experience through new eye-movement data and camera angles from the vantage point of athletes.
The companies say the partnership could include pairing HeadVantage's miniature cameras with Tobii's eye-tracking sensor to rest underneath the bill of an athlete's baseball or golf cap or embedded into a football helmet to track the player's eye movements. HeadVantage joined the Comcast NBCUniversal SportsTech Accelerator earlier this year and has been able to affix its cameras on golf instructors as they teach lessons for NBC Sports Next's GolfPass. The technology was also tested on players this summer during golf tournaments for the PGA's Korn Ferry Tour.
"During our SportsTech accelerator, we saw how Tobii's eye tracking integration and HeadVantage's streaming capabilities bring engaging content and immersion to sports fans by getting into the athlete's mind through the perspective of eye tracking," Jenna Kurath, head of Comcast NBCUniversal SportsTech, said in a statement. "We are excited to see what's next for the team as they innovate and bring new storytelling capabilities to games and events around the world through partnerships with NBC Sports and Sky."
Tobii makes both software and hardware for eye-tracking, including smart glasses with sensors that have been worn for training purposes by NASCAR drivers on Chip Ganassi Racing, New York Red Bulls soccer players and Swedish hockey goalies. In 2018, Tobii integrated its eye-tracking technology into the computer screens for esports players in the Eleague, so that fans watching the broadcast can see where competitors are looking during gameplay. Steve Gleason, the former NFL safety living with ALS, was filmed using Tobii's eye-tracking technology with Microsoft's Surface Pro in a 2014 Super Bowl commercial from Microsoft.
Sony has also partnered with Tobii to add eye-tracking into the PlayStation VR2 virtual reality headset that's expected to launch in early 2023. Wearable camera products from Tobii and HeadVantage will be capable of measuring the diameter of an athlete's pupils over one hundred times per second.
"The imagery and the data come from wearables–so on your head, the hat you're wearing with embedded technology to show what you see, how your head moves. In football–or sports with a face mask–we're embedding technology in the face masks that can track your eye movement," HeadVantage CEO and Co-founder Jay Hedley told SportTechie in July. "We'll be able to show not only what you could see from, say, the line of scrimmage as a quarterback, but also where your eyes are moving and overlaying that on the footage. So streaming all that content at very high speed, high definition, to a platform where it can then be disseminated."
Technology executives from Tobii have joined HeadVantage's advisory board as part of the new long-term partnership. HeadVantage also has plans to work with Sky Sports to embed eye tracking into cricket helmets to eventually stream the player's view to cricket fans around the world. Hedley also believes that eye-tracking cameras can lead to new opportunities in sports betting, with HeadVantage having discussed the potential with leagues through the Comcast NBCUniversal SportsTech Accelerator, whose partners include the PGA Tour, WWE, NASCAR, U.S. Ski & Snowboard, USA Cycling and USA Swimming.
"The PGA Tour came to us because of the program we were in, they were one of the partners, and they said, 'We want to know three things," Hedley said. "What club does the player have in his hand? Half the time we don't know that. What's the lie of the ball? And what obstructions is he dealing with–hidden over a bush, around a tree, etc.–from his vantage point?' One of the reasons they want to know that is for betting. The PGA already enables betting but they can generate a more-accurate bet if they knew those things."

Newtown shootings renew questions about evil and suffering
by Cathy Lynn Grossman
"Oh, God!"
That cry has echoed ever since news of the horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
As the names of those who died are made known, that cry is followed by a question: Why? Why does God allow evil?
This agonizing question arises among religious believers after tragedies great and small. It's also one that priests, pastors, rabbis and imams will wrestle with.
The Rev. Jerry Smith of St. Bartholomew Episcopal Church in Nashville said that although this weekend marked the third Sunday in Advent, which focuses on hope in advance of Christmas, the church also has to talk about the reality of evil.
"We have to speak about this shooting and we have to recognize, this is the very darkness that Christ came into the world to dispel," Smith told The Tennessean.
The Rev. Neill S. Morgan, pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Sherman, Texas, says on the congregation's website that now is a time for prayer.
But, says Morgan, "all the existential questions about God, justice and love" will come. "We wonder what we can do to prevent such violence in the world, our nation and our community."
The struggle to understand the question of evil run throughout the Bible, and with stories that point from pain in this world to life in the hereafter with God.
On social media, people are sharing a passage from Jeremiah 31:15-17:
Cathy Lynn Grossman
Cathy Lynn Grossman writes for Religion News Service.
A voice is heard in Ramah,
lamentation and bitter weeping.
Rachel is weeping for her children;
she refuses to be comforted for her children,
because they are no more.
It seems to fit the awful news of the deaths of 20 young children and six of the faculty at the Sandy Hook Elementary.
So do the lessons on theodicy – the question of evil in God's good world – that are offered after every mass tragedy.
Rick Warren, the California megachurch pastor and best-selling author of the recently reissued best-seller "The Purpose-Driven Life," addressed it last year on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack.
Evil, the ugly twin of goodness, Warren wrote, is part of God's "greatest blessing and our worst curse: our capacity to make choices."
Rather than make humankind into puppets that he could pull by a string, says Warren, God granted free will so that he might be "loved and obeyed by creatures who freely, voluntarily choose to love him and each other. Love is not genuine if there is no other option."
Many look for an answer in the Bible's long-suffering Job, who is counseled to trust that God will work it out for the faithful, "which is not necessarily the most satisfying of answers," writes Texas religion commentator Jeffrey Weiss.
Weiss took the question of evil very personally in an April piece for the website Real Clear Religion. He drew on a eulogy given by Rabbi Jonathan Miller at the funeral of a friend of Weiss'.
Miller did not attempt to explain the senselessness of a fatal illness. Wrote Weiss: "Theodicy, the attempt to rationalize why an all-good, all-knowing, all-powerful God would allow such pain, is the hardest nut to crack for religions that believe in that sort of deity."
Instead, Miller shared a little-known Jewish story about how the fear of death should not destroy one's joy in life.
A great rabbi returns to a disciple in a dream and tells him, "Were the Holy One to say to me,'You may return to that world where you were before,' I would not wish to do it. The fear of death is too great."
The takeaway Miller wanted was for his listeners not to live in such fear of death that they cannot take the pleasure from living.
"Life is first for the living and not about dying," Miller said. —RNS
