Every new day is brimming with possibility. Set time aside upon rising and before retiring, each day, to envision your life as you want it to be. As you walk through your day, focus on the positive aspects of every situation; they do exist.
Understand the power of your thoughts, they can take you where you want to go. One positive thought attracts another and another ... Never stop looking for reasons to feel good. Begin, by releasing the past, completely. Free yourself. Instead, focus on the present.
Appreciation of the beauty of nature helps us align with who we really are. That moment, when our eye is caught by a thin line of cloud turned pure gold, by the setting sun, is more illuminating of the truth of life, than anything we can read.
Make time every day for things that you love to do. We live in an amazing world, brimming with possibility. Create a life for yourself that you love.

Foltz Earns FSU Athlete of the Week Honor!
Kim Foltz ('14)
For the second time this fall senior, runner Kim Foltz has been named Fredonia State University Athlete of the Week, sharing the honor with Hannah Manning of the Women's Volleyball team.
This announcement comes after Kim broke the cross country school record in the 6,000 meters with a time of 22:37 and placing 12th overall this past Saturday at the Atlantic Pre-Regional Invitational hosted by SUNY-Geneseo at Letchworth State Park.
The previous 6,000m record was 22:43 held by Jessica Bennett set at the 2007 NCAA Atlantic Pre-Regional hosted by New York University. A performance that earned Bennett a trip to the 2007 NCAA National Championships. An accomplishment that Miss Foltz will be looking to equal when the team returns to Letchworth State Park on November 16th for the 2013 Atlantic Regional.
We believe she can do it and wish her congratulations on earning this honor yet again!

If you are nervous about starting a cubit you are not alone. We all have different reasons for our nervousness...I don't understand how...I don't know if I can...I don't want it seen by...I want it just so before anyone sees it... Lets go through it one step at a time and put all that nervousness to rest.
Before we start: Please read the T.O.S. for Cubits.org.
If you are using IE (Internet Explorer) you will need to install and use Firefox.
The WYSIWYG feature used in building articles and pages for cubits space does not work properly in the IE browser and you will become quickly frustrated.
How do you install firefox? Click here for their download and follow the instructions they give you. It is easy and it is free. I am amazed that it took Cubits to get me to make the switch because it truly is a better browser.
Bookmark this page so you can find it again for easy reference as needed.
You may also find it helpful to open this page in one tab and open your control panel in a second tab so you can easily switch back and forth as you work.
Now lets address some of the nervous problems we are feeling.
I don't understand how it works and I don't know if I can do it.
Using the tools Dave has provided here is easy AND we are going to discuss the process in a step by step way so that you CAN do it.
I want it just right before anyone sees it. I don't want to feel like everyone is looking over my shoulder as I work or have them laughing at me when I make mistakes during the set up process.
This is easy, you set the permissions to your cubit so that only the owner can see it. You can change this later to make it visible to others when you are ready. Until you make the change in permissions no one will see your cubit or even know you are working on one. It will not show up on the searches or lists. It is your secret.
If you want to limit access to your cubit or just a special area of your cubit you can easily do this with a whitelist group. Once you set up a group and set the permissions to a feature, only those on the list will have access to it. Anyone not on your list will not see the feature if that is your choice. You may also decide that everone can read the posts but only your group can respond.
You can change the permissions at any time. You can add or remove people from your whitelist at any time. YOU are in control.
Dave has already covered the basics, HERE, so much of this will be a rehash of his instructions. Many of you have enough web experience that you will not need further help...so feel free to get started right away.
Still with me? Great! Lets get started.
First, make sure you're signed in with a username, then click on "Contact" at the bottom and request a link to the "Create a Cubit" page. Once you receive that link, you can continue these instructions.
Enter a name for your cubit. The name can be anything so long as it is original in reference to Cubits.org.
Add a short nickname. This is optional but it is a good idea if your full name is a long one. This will keep the url (address) short and easy to use. Your nickname should contain alpha and or numeric characters only and no spaces or punctuation marks. Dave has set the system to remove illegal charaters and spaces if you forget.
Click on the return to main control area link. Scroll down and select the Whitelist control.
Select the option that allows access to owner. Your site can now be seen only by you. If you have other people assisting you you can set them as administrators or moderators and you can check mark here so that they may also see the cubit.
Be sure to read the tips so you understand what the different group terms mean.
Now I have a cubit that is only visible to me but it is empty so there isn't anything to see yet except for a forum that I can keep or delete.
You can return to your cubit at any time. When you log in it will now be listed on your watched cubits list on the home page. Simply click on the tool control icon in the right side bar to edit or add to your cubit. Just be sure to always save your changes before exiting.
..And this my friend is where you need to decide what direction you wish to take with your cubit. You can add content in several ways and you can use one or all of them. I suggest that you spend some time checking out some of the existing cubits to see what features they are using that you like or don't like before continuing.
To add forums: Type in a name for your forum and click create. Set your permissions and save.
You can create as many forums as you want or need.
Articles can be a wonderful addition to your cubit or they can be the base upon which your cubit is focused with or without forums and other features.
To begin: Go to your main control panel and scroll down to the Articles controls. Click enable. You are now ready to follow the link to the manage articles link where you will again set your permissions and save.
Directly under the save button is a link to "Go to your articles page to post articles" This will open the WYSIWYG editor and you are ready to begin creating your first article.
For detailed assistance in creating Articles using the provided Editor please go to my articleUsing The Editor To Create Articles And Pages.
You can also add content to your cubit by using the database feature. As with the previous features you will need to enable it on your main control panel and then open the database controls. Set your permissions and structure your database. This is the most complex tool provided but it is also the most powerful and depending on the nature of your forum this feature can be the most rewarding.
I have not written a detailed article on this feature but you can find assistance Here in the form of a tutorial by Dave and Here in discussion forums.
Now that we have the cubits functions set up lets take a look at window dressings.
Return to you main control panel and open the theme control panel. The first option listed is "theme to use" with a drop down for the available options. The default theme is shown.
As a cubit admin, you can now control the order that all the features on your cubit's front page appear.
So, for example, if you're running a new poll and you want it to be especially noticed, you can change the order so the latest voting booth appears on top. Then later change it to move down the page some.
Go to your cubit's Main Control Panel, then click on "Front Page Control Panel" and from there you can drag and drop the items into the order you want them.
I selected the clouds and land theme.
Notice that the top banner has changed and the tabs on the navigation bar have changed to a complimentary blue color.
Check out the different options. And save your choice.
You may also opt to create your own. To do this you can start out by selecting create your own on the top drop down. With this option you can upload your own banner graphics and set your own color schemes. The color wheels make it simple to select a color or you can enter a color number code. Play with the colors until you get a set that satisfies you.
Keep in mind that putting dark text colors on dark backgrounds or light text on light backgrounds will make the page difficult to read and the tabs hard to find.
Each feature has it's own set of permissions so that you can control who gets to see a feature, who gets to add, remove or alter a feature and who can see, post or start a thread. If you have multiple forums you can set the permissions for each one individually.
Once you are satisfied that your cubit is ready for others to view you can go back and uncheck the whitelist and it will be visible to all.

Hi there! I'm Amy Taylor. I'm the owner of Lulu Bean Designs. I'm a Registered Nurse who started my business as a hobby and creative outlet back in 2011. In 2014, I was able to leave the nursing profession to pursue my business full-time. I love making things and coming up with new ideas for my home. It's a crazy busy life, but it's totally worth it! I'm proud of the business I've built, and wouldn't have it any other way! I often get asked by friends, how do I make this or how do I make that? Many people have purchased a vinyl cutting machine and just have no idea how to get started using it. I would love to show you how to do that! In fact, I've started a series of videos on Facebook to help get your creative juices flowing! You can check it out here. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a Facebook message.

The Gap's Epic Logo Failure
For 20 years, clothing retailer The Gap has been instantly recognizable by its logo, a little blue box with white type inside reading "Gap." You'd think that such a widely-known and accepted logo would be free of corporate tampering, but that's not the case. On Monday, The Gap unveiled their terrible new logo, floating Helvetica black font with a tiny blue scrap behind it, reminiscent of the former Gap logo. Two days later, the public outcry was so great that The Gap has announced that they're changing plans on the redesign.
"We know this logo created a lot of buzz and we're thrilled to see passionate debates unfolding! So much so we're asking you to share your designs. We love our version, but we'd like to … see other ideas," said The Gap on their Facebook page. Basically, the public complained so much, and so loudly, about the terrible new logo that The Gap was forced to retract their new logo (one they no-doubt paid a fortune for) in the wake of public criticism. They're still going to use their new logo in ads and whatnot, but a full store redesign was being held back until after the new year.
Presumably, that'll give The Gap time to get some civilian to redesign their logo for them via Facebook. Here's hoping the new logo is more like changing corn syrup to corn sugar and less Comcast becoming Xfinity.

Racial injustice hits home for US athletes

When former NBA star Robert Horry's son showed him the video of a police officer shooting Jacob Blake in the back in Wisconsin on Sunday, he said he felt compelled to remind the teenager of the dangers he could face when encountering the police.
"It's hard to tell your 14-year-old son that I worry about him when he walks out that door. I have a 22-year-old son and I worry about him because Black men are an endangered species," he said fighting back tears.
"These cops are just killing because they feel like if they don't those have body cameras on, they have a right."

NBA players led by the Milwaukee Bucks went on strike to protest racial injustice during the playoffs on Wednesday, with players in Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer and the Women's National Basketball also deciding not to play games.
New York Mets first baseman Dominic Smith said on Wednesday it was tough to deal with the apathy in issues related to race.
"I think the most difficult part is to see people still don't care," he said at a news conference.
"For this to continuously happen just shows the hate in people's heart."
Many Black athletes have spoken out about their treatment by the police.
Olympic triple-jump gold medalist Al Joyner sued the Los Angeles police department for false arrest when he was pulled over, held at gunpoint, and handcuffed in 1992, while Bucks guard Sterling Brown received an apology from Milwaukee police after he was thrown to the ground and tasered in 2018.
Tennis player James Blake was roughed up by a plainclothes officer in 2015 in New York, with the city agreeing to create a new position with a watchdog agency that hears complaints against police as part of a settlement.
Moe Harkless, a former first-round pick who currently plays for the New York Knicks, said that while he was a member of the Portland Trail Blazers a police officer pulled him over without offering any explanation.
It was only after the officer recognized him as a professional athlete that his "attitude completely shifted" and he was allowed to go.
"I feel for my brothers and sisters who aren't as lucky to show an ID and have an officers whole viewpoint of you change in an instant," he tweeted.
"So when players boycott that's who they're doing it for."

Q: AWS EC2: how to get a data transfer breakdown per instance I have an AWS account with some small instances on it.
Is there a way to see the amount of data which has been transfetered (in/out) per instance?
Thanks
Dmi

A: If the instances are still running, you can do this using the free basic monitoring that Amazon provides via CloudWatch.

For Amazon EC2 instances, Amazon CloudWatch Basic Monitoring collects
  and reports metrics for CPU utilization, data transfer, and disk usage
  activity from each Amazon EC2 instance at a five-minute frequency.

To access the monitor data for an EC2 instance, select it in the AWS Management Console and click the "Monitoring" tab in the lower panel.  You can click any of the charts (e.g. "Max Network In") to get a larger version, with some drop-downs to control the time window.
Note that the data is only kept for two weeks.

Rub steaks generously with salt and pepper. Set aside for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. Combine the butter, parsley, chives, and shallot with a fork in a medium bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper, cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a 12″ cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 steaks and cook, flipping once, until seared and medium rare, about 8 minutes. Transfer steaks to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining oil and steaks. To serve, smear each steak with 2 tbsp. of the herb butter.


WHEN Lisa Moore opened this sweet spot, hidden away in a little shopping strip behind Sweet Potatoesn at Waters and Eisenhower, she had no idea what a hunger people here have for something fresh and natural.
Surrounded by big box Walmart, Kroger and Publix, folks in the area had gotten to craving something you just couldn't find without a testy drive into downtown Savannah.
They were ready for homemade taste and hand-crafted sweets: Lisa got there just in time for Thanksgiving last year.
Her bakery is tucked away at the end of a string of businesses headed off with my hubby's work place, Southern Pavers, so when I came by to see him one day I noticed this lil' spot with surprise.
Brand, spankin' new, it was a pretty, simple nook, fragrant with the smell of fresh cookies and brewed coffee. It was the day after Thanksgiving so the selection was a little sparse, but I took home a bacon cheddar scone and a macaron-like orange almond button and made plans to come back.
Mattie Belle's is named for Lisa's grandmother, a true Southern lady who loved to grow her own veggies, can and pickle up fresh fruits, and, best of all, have great, big family dinners.
Lisa had the best of teachers in her grandmother, who showed her the joys of baking and of experimenting with recipes to make them uniquely your own. "Farm fresh" was basis of everything that came out of Mattie Belle's kitchen, and she passed on that standard to her granddaughter.
Years later, when Lisa had a child of her own, her daughter, Sydney, was delighted to be the recipient of those family recipes and gave her mom plenty of inspiration.
Lisa proudly supports local sources like Freeman's Mill and Southern Swiss Dairy, and especially loves their tangy buttermilk for making scones, biscuits, cakes and even a rich panna cotta with it.
She frequents the weekend farmers market to find in-season fruits for her goodies. She met Philip Brown of PERC Coffee there while browsing—what better mate to a warm scone than a cup of PERC?—and now carries a good variety of his top-notch product, hot and fresh each day.
Family recipes are the basis of a fine selection of baked goods here, and Lisa has a natural love of French cooking that gives her line-up a European flair. Stop by early to catch her hand-crafted éclairs made of French pot de choux pastry mixed with real butter. The apple bourbon cake has become a local favorite, as well as a moist and tender apple cake.
Her rice pudding is made in the French manner as well: Crème anglaise without cinnamon, served cold, and flavored with real vanilla bean. The arborio rice gives it a distinctive creaminess.
During this past Christmas she regularly sold out of her beautiful bûche de Noël (yule log) made of moist chocolate sponge cake rolled up with thick whipped cream, sprinkled with snowy powdered sugar and accompanied by a dainty host of meringue mushrooms. Pecan pies, hummingbird cakes and carrot cakes top out the list of take-home holiday delights.
Around the first of the year, Lisa developed a line of breakfast and lunch items that include fresh salads, crusty panini, as well as quiche and an incredible Vidalia onion pie. Watching the seasons here means exquisite fruit pies for dessert, so don't forget to ask about the daily specials.
Her juicy, sweet nectarine pie made with fresh cream and a buttery crust is so good, you'd be hard-pressed not to take the whole pie home!
Breads for the panini are made in-house, and covers everything fromsmoked turkey, Virginia ham with cheddar or a tasty Italian sandwich with salami, fresh pesto, sun-dried tomatoes and mozzarella. The "Bubba Cuban" is more of a French version, minus the roast pork and sports Dijon mustard with Swiss cheese and pickles. If you're a fan of pimento cheese, don't miss the Pimento Pig—it's a simple sandwich of her house-made cheese with bacon, but rich and satisfying.
Salads come in two varieties. The Italian is dressed in vinaigrette, Provolone cheese, chickpeas and salami, and the Greek has a wonderful Goddess dressing. Weekly specials feature selections derived from local produce from the farmers market so be sure to check the Facebook page and get inspired—seriously, those pictures will make your mouth water!.
Breakfast here is simple, but so beautifully made, fresh and incredible tasting that you just gotta stop by one morning and try it for yourself.
Big buttermilk biscuits stuffed with ham and pimento cheese, fluffy scrambled eggs or bacon make up the most frequent orders. The bacon cheddar scones, warm with real butter, or the blueberry banana bread are worth the trip.
Grits? Yep, she's got'em: Stone ground, natural grits slow-cooked for at least an hour on the stove each morning and topped with cheese and smoky bacon chunks.
It's all a Southern heart could ask for!

Which class is referred to as the dangerous class by Marx and why?
Is Marxism a macro or micro theory?
Which theory is an example of a micro theory?
Is exchange theory macro or micro?
Is conflict a macro or micro?

Definition. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language defines it as "the lowest stratum of the proletariat. ... In English translations of Marx and Engels, lumpenproletariat has sometimes been rendered as "social scum", "dangerous classes", "ragamuffin", and "ragged-proletariat".
Macro theories are large scale theories – what postmodernists call grand narratives – about society. They are structural theories such as functionalism and Marxism. They contrast with micro theories (action theories).
Symbolic Interactionist Theory. Symbolic interactionism is a micro-level theory that focuses on the relationships among individuals within a society.
Within the broad macro camp, two perspectives dominate: functionalism and conflict theory. Within the micro camp, two other perspectives exist: symbolic interactionism and utilitarianism (also called rational choice theory or exchange theory) (Collins, 1994). ... Functionalism is a macro theory.
Far-reaching social change is needed to reduce or eliminate social inequality and to create an egalitarian society. Conflict theory is a macro theory. People construct their roles as they interact; they do not merely learn the roles that society has set out for them.
Therefore the modern types of theory are no longer necessary. Therefore postmodernism cannot be labelled as structural/agency, micro/macro, conflict/consensus, since all of these labels are considered to be linked to ideas of modernity.

"blue like jazz" the movie :: thoughts and ponderings
Last night I watched "Blue Like Jazz" for the first time. It would be accurate to say I am a fan of Donald Miller, although I have to qualify that statement. I appreciate the ART of Donald Miller because it is honest and insightful. I do not look to Donald Miller for theological profundity. Likewise I found "Blue Like Jazz" the movie to be beautiful in some ways, because it was honest and insightful, but not because it was theologically profound.
So people are asking me what I thought. I'm conflicted.
Here's what I like…
"Blue Like Jazz" tells the truth. "Christian" art (a label I am rapidly liking less and less) doesn't always do that. In fact, much art slapped with a "Christian Art" label tries to paint a picture (in some case, I mean this quite literally) representing a sanitized world, safe for church people to enter without feeling too threatened or having their feathers ruffled out of alignment. Thomas Kinkade is perhaps the poster-boy for this kind of art, which looks one the one hand to be deemed "safe" for Christian consumption, but on the other hand, is actually very dangerous in its "sanitization" of our condition. In a brilliant critique of Kinkade's work (read the whole article here), Daniel A. Siedell writes:
"The Edenic world Kinkade projects is pretty much the fallen world without the dirtiness of the city and the inconvenience of other people, a weekend getaway in the country. All we need to do to return to Eden is get our lives in order. Kinkade's much ballyhooed 'light' merely adds atmosphere and glow, a pleasant touch to an already charming scene. And because it makes us so comfortable, it is a very dark light indeed.
Kinkade's work is the meticulously painted smile on the Joker's disfigured face. It refuses to deal with the fallenness, brokenness, sinfulness of the world. And more troubling, it enables his clientele to escape into an imaginary world where things can be pretty good, as long as we have our faith, our family values, and a visual imagery that re-affirms all this at the office and at home."
This is a problem. Art has power to disrupt and challenge, but the Christian marketplace comes with its own set of rules designed to protect us from offense. Therefore, "Christian" art is almost never provocative to the degree that it might lead to actual life-change. It sooner leads us to be comfortable, while reaffirming our faith. And we need encouragement, us church people.
But don't we also need to be disturbed and broken-hearted? God is in the business of redemption through the ongoing process of death and resurrection. The death part… it doesn't look like a Kinkade painting.
Neither does "Blue Like Jazz" the movie.
In fact, "Blue Like Jazz" shows us the yucky side of churchiness without the transformative power of a life rooted and abiding in Jesus Christ. It shows the carnality and brokenness and narcissism of young adult lives given over to the pursuit of pleasure and identity and meaning when God has been rejected wholesale. The movie is dark and sad and tragic if you consider the eternal ramifications of the sea of lives surrounding young Don Miller. If you are planning to see this and expect it to have the feel-good (albeit disquietingly "safe") vibe of "Facing the Giants" or "Soul-Surfer," you might find "Blue Like Jazz" disturbing. Reed College is full of substance abuse and profanity and emptiness and sex. Lots of it. "Blue Like Jazz" isn't unnecessarily graphic, but neither does it pull many punches.
I'm sick of Kincade. In this, "Blue Like Jazz" was a refreshing change. It shows brokenness. It made me hurt for the broken people, and hunger to be bolder as an image-bearer for Jesus. Broken people need Jesus. I have Jesus.
"Blue Like Jazz" wasn't written for the "Church" market, so if you are looking for a movie that is, consider yourself warned. Instead, Taylor and Miller seem to be telling a story for spiritually curious people who want to know if God is real when the world is such a mess and the churches in many neighborhoods look more like social clubs for hypocrites than beacons of light and hope.
Here's what I didn't like…
"Blue Like Jazz" embraces a metaphor, woven throughout the narrative. "My dad says jazz is like life, because it doesn't resolve…" Like much of Donald Miller's theo-philosophical ponderings, neither does "Blue Like Jazz." And I understand that we are works in process, and that art is often more effective when it leaves some questions unanswered. This leaves room for the consumer to wonder, and think, and search. But it is unsatisfying in a movie that asks out loud, "Where do we find meaning and purpose in life?"
There ARE clear answers to many of the questions Miller and Taylor are asking, but it is cooler to leave them unanswered. It is cooler to leave us to ponder on our own.
** MINOR SPOILER ALERT **
Sure, by the end of the film the young, restless Don Miller comes to some kind of ambiguous belief that God is probably real, and this Jesus stuff… he buys it. But there is little power in his transformation, because it is very hard to see what this transformation actually looks like. Except, of course, for a compulsion not only to ask forgiveness for his own hypocrisy and lack of courage, but also for the many failings of the Church, writ large. That may be cool, and more palatable to the jaded (or wounded) spiritually-curious viewers. But my heart aches for them to hear a better story.
A better story starts with an all-powerful and very present God Almighty, who is not only Sovereign and perfectly Holy, but full of mind-bending LOVE that obliterates our best attempts to understand it. That perfectly pure One created every soul who ever lived to be in a mutually joy-giving relationship with Him. But we, the creatures, spat in His face because we thought we knew better what would satisfy. We died that day. And every day since, man clamors to find identity and meaning and lasting pleasure, but none of it really satisfies us. Reed College exhausts us, and we feel the shame of it.
A better story would speak the truth of the Bible, that JESUS CHRIST came to save SINNERS, even the very worst. That He offers HOPE and JOY that really is lasting and satisfies our longing for identity, meaning, and pleasure free from guilt. This is THE true story the world needs to hear.
I don't mean to saddle "Blue Like Jazz" the movie with the calling of the Church. God did not call Steve Taylor and Donald Miller to use this movie to make disciples. He calls me to do that, and you, too, if you love Jesus. But I sense a missed opportunity here. That's all I'm saying.
"Blue Like Jazz" is smartly written, well acted, and cleverly rendered. It works. I see the need for movies and more art in general to explore faith while looking honestly at brokenness, although I remember the words of Paul to focus our minds and hearts on "whatever is true, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." (Philippians 4:8) In order to focus on what is true – on the life-transforming power of the GOSPEL – allow "Blue Like Jazz" to do the work it is intended to do. Let it disturb you and stir compassion in you for the brokenness we live in.
Then get in the Word, read the Gospel, and do something.

Well said Josh!
jskogerboe August 15, 2012 at 8:54 pm
Thanks Heidi. Don Miller always inspires, and his story telling is engaging… and he leaves me wanting him to just state the GOSPEL outright. But he doesn't. So, I remain a fan. But a conflicted fan. God bless you and your girl.
Renah	August 15, 2012 at 10:07 pm
Haven't seen this yet but am looking forward to it! I do agree that "Christian" is an adjective that applies to people, not art (or cultural 'artifacts' of any kind)…
jskogerboe August 15, 2012 at 10:44 pm
I agree. But the marketplace has co-opted a niche which is a painful mix for me of beauty and truth mixed with saccharine and schlock and kitsch… bad art.
I appreciate Christians who are artists and are able to honor God with their craft while rejecting the box of the marketplace niche. Otherwise, the ART of the church will only ever speak to those already inside the box.
God is a Redeemer. His artists are redeemers as we bear his image. NO MORE CRAPPY ART, church. Go surprise people with the truth.
And, all that being said, I could have used a little more of the truth in my Don Miller fruit plate. Felt more like the parsley sometimes…
Mela Kamin August 16, 2012 at 9:44 am
Josh – well written response to the film. I agree we need more truth across the board – grit, hope and all of it in between.
Frankly, I had some of the misgivings you wrote about, but I tried to temper those with the feeling that the movie could reach a larger audience than some "Christian art." Growing up unchurched with some watered-down, safe, don't-ask-me-for-too-much beliefs, I could envision the me I was then watching & questioning. I don't know, however, whether the film would have prompted me to ask more, or maybe it would have left me with unanswered questions and a bad taste in my mouth for the hypocrisy I felt already kept my family from going all in.
I'm certain it's a very fine line Miller & Taylor were trying to walk to keep from tying it up in a neat Christian bow or adding too much, as you said, "saccharine" to the script. I agree we need to not just know Christ, but show Christ and let His work, work.
jskogerboe August 16, 2012 at 11:04 am
Thanks for weighing in, Mela. Hope you and your family are thriving. 🙂
I realize that "Blue Like Jazz" is not the movie I would have made, because I highly value the power and authority of scripture, and I believe that the Gospel is the only hope of the world. I believe, from what little I know, that Don Miller will spend eternity in heaven, because he professes Jesus Christ as his Savior. However, as Wade talks about below, his theological wanderings have a decidedly postmodern feel.
I keep in mind that the book that this movie was based on came early in Don's writing career. He was working through a number of faith questions himself. I know he still is. We all are. But it seems to me that he has settled some of these questions since then. I would have liked to see more concrete answers on display here. But that is not the post-modern way. And I didn't make this movie.
As I look at it today, I am genuinely questioning the value of this film. It has me thinking, and it has moved me to love people with authenticity… but I'm wondering if the benefit comes wrapped in too much garbage.
Wade Mobley August 16, 2012 at 9:44 am
Thanks for the post, Josh. I have not seen the movie, but I have read the book. The core issue in the movie/book/message is the content- content that accepts then builds upon postmodern philosophy.The reason that it does not resolve is because it is philosophically prohibited from resolving, for postmodernism offers no resolution.
The real danger of calling art "Christian" is that by doing so we dilute Christ and not the art itself. "Christian," as one reader has mused quite correctly, is an adjective that applies to people, not objects. Art reflects the foundational beliefs of the artist holds- whether the artist realizes it or not.
Thus, art in the hand of the postmodern artist becomes, as Gene Edward Veith said in his book "Postmodern Times," "a repudiation of the human," a fundamental rejection of the image of God in man.
Miller's passive-aggressive methodology comes off as Minnesota nice, but in it he establishes a theology that relegates truth to obscurity through hasty generalization and equivocation on crucial terms. In the words of one reviewer, "The film leaves the audience with a few lingering questions. What exactly is the true theology that replaces the religious clichés at the beginning of the film? Is this film merely about one man's existential crisis, and how he finds friends who will accept him, in spite of his faith? Or does it, however subtly, point to something that transcends the "my truth, your truth, it's all truth" attitude embraced by many of Donald Miller's generation?" (Hannah Kaminer, World Magazine, April 7, 2012).
But the most important point for the reader is this: You cannot separate art from philosophy, neither in its creation nor its consumption. No artist has ever made such a separation- indeed, it is impossible. But many artists ask their consumers to do just that.
Thus, it is no surprise that Francis Schaeffer's assessment has shown itself to be true once and again: While art and general culture once flowed from theology, now theology flows from our art and general culture. Today's culture shouts down theology and philosophy, while allowing our art- whether in sing, cinema, or canvas- to do our theology and philosophy.
As movies go, Blue Like Jazz may be innocuous fare. But if it leaves you wanting now you know why. My biggest fear for audience members who are genuine Christ-followers is that they will be so amused by the art that they will accept the flawed theology and philosophy of the artist.
In that sense, may this movie- and most any other- leave you wanting, and- in response- fleeing to God's Word, which always satisfies.
Recommended read- Veith, Gene Edward. State of the Arts: From Bezalel to Mapplethorpe. Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 1991.
Thanks Wade. GREAT thoughts. I agree that every piece of art expresses a philosophy – a pairing that no artist or consumer can escape. I also agree that Miller is mired in the Emerging Church/Postmodern quagmire.
So, should I really expect anything more?
The problem is, some of his writing has been truly inspiring for me – and important in my faith journey. He is an engaging writer, and he does express a more concrete faith in Jesus as Savior in other books. Whereas you have read the book and not seen the film, I have seen the film and never finished the book. I guess I was hoping the Don Miller that has inspired deeper love of God and people in me would show himself. The climactic moment of the film has young Don Miller realizing that he hasn't only been ashamed of the church subculture he was raised in, he has been ashamed of JESUS. The implication is, "Well, no more. I do believe this stuff, and from now on, I'm going to say it out loud."
That's not a bad point of self-realization to come to. But of course, the need runs far deeper, and the solution is far more substantial.
This post was intended to draw readers who have an interest in the movie. For those people, I wanted to point to the better story, THE true story of our broken relationship with God (and desperate, hopeless condition on our own) and His solution by grace. Jesus blood shed for us.
Honestly, all of this discussion about art and the "Christian" label, Don Miller and the soundness (or lack thereof) of his theology, and the relative merits of "Blue Like Jazz" are interesting, but the point of my post is this:
Everyone desperately needs Jesus. Don Miller doesn't tell you that, but you need to know. You are sin-sick without Him, and your life will be a constant chase after meaning, purpose, identity, and pleasure that fades until you recognize your need for Him. The good news is this, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned…"
If I can use this forum to make that better story more clear to more people, then I've done my part. And in providing me a springboard to draw more people to ponder the better story, Don Miller has done his. 🙂
And so with you I echo your last line… may this movie leave you wanting, and in response fleeing to God's Word, which ALWAYS satisfies. Amen and amen.
Wade Mobley August 16, 2012 at 3:59 pm
Right on, Josh. I really enjoy your insights on these topics.
Liz Johnson	August 16, 2012 at 2:01 pm
I saw the movie when it came out and was wondering if you would weigh in on it (or anyone for that matter — more people talked about it pre-production than after the movie came out!). Anyway, I'm glad you did — I had some similar thoughts. There were times in the movie when I felt that the people who wrote it had something to prove… they were trying really hard to make it unpreachy, un-"christian." The whole church scene was the christian stereotype played out to the fullest and the Reed College was the secular college scene played out to the fullest. And I was waiting and waiting for Penny to say SOMETHING — anything — about Christ, and it took forever. At the same time, I absolutely realize that this movie wasn't made as an evangelism tool. It's real, it's artsy, it's interesting and it does have depth. While I would never in a million years recommend Facing the Giants to my non-Christian friends, I would recommend this movie to them.
So I understand the tension and I resonate with what you're saying about a missed opportunity, cuz I totally felt that too. I wonder if what I'm looking for in these types of movies (movies that deal with the faith, or with the Gospel) is actually possible.
Hey friend of mine! Thanks for joining the discussion.
I think the answer to the question in your last sentence is NO. I think that art can provoke, but it rarely completes. Especially with regards to our life of faith – which is dynamic and organic and living. Therefore, I think there IS an answer for your non-churchy friends whom you feel dis-inclined to invite over for a showing of "Facing the Giants." The answer is LIZ JOHNSON.
Like I said above, God isn't calling Miller and Taylor to make disciples through this movie. That's our job. Of course, I know you know this, too. But this movie can maybe start the discussion.
Unfortunately, I'm really questioning whether this vehicle is one worth riding in. I do deeply appreciate the honesty of the writing. I understand that it is a story of a young man's search for answers with regards to faith among a God-less subculture… it's not intended to leave us will "all the answers." But neither does it really point us to the Gospel, which is the only hope that really matters. Is it worth the wade through the mire to end up with our hero beginning a long list of apologies for the evils of organized Christianity through history? The personal apologies were powerful. But the rest… it lacked the hope-filled joy that a life truly transformed by the Gospel exhibits.
Here's what I think. You can invite those non-Christian friends to watch "Blue Like Jazz," but if I were there, I'd watch with them. And then have a conversation that points to a better story. Your story is a better one, because Jesus is at the center of it.
God bless you, Liz.
I love Liz' thoughts there. The Giants was a bit hack for me, too, though I applaud their effort. That last line- "is it possible" to make films that avoid the scoffing of the skeptic yet retain the message? I'm not sure it is. Here's why:
*When sharing your testimony with a Christian, they get it.
*When sharing your testimony with a non-Christian who is really considering the claims of Christ- they consider it (perhaps this should be our target audience for movies, etc.).
*But when sharing your testimony with a skeptic- they scoff.
Miller writes to the skeptic in a manner that limits their scoffing, but in order to do so he loses the substance of Christianity.
So the skeptic is (somewhat) appeased, Christians are left feeling like something grand went unexplored, and the non-Christian who is giving Christ a fair shake gets horribly confused by the "Christian" film. And, sadly, many newer Christians hop on the confusion train with them.

Well, that is exactly what happened…I had a blessing of an opportunity (by way of a dear client) to have some new business photos taken by Mike Adkins, a talented photographer here in Orlando. He came out to Rosewood Holistic Health for a photo shoot and to my delight the photos that resulted were marvelous. And considering what he had to work with, well, is all the more telling of his talent!!
It feels good to update things occasionally. The photos on the Rosewood website were taken about 9 years ago and my hair, to say the least, has grown considerably since then. Having a photo that actually looks current is helpful to those searching the internet. I thought I would share a few of the pictures with you to show off his work.
Inadequate hand hygiene contributes to food-related illnesses like salmonella and E. coli infection. According to the CDC, 76 million Americans get a food-borne illness each year and 5,000 of them die because of it. Others experience the annoying signs and symptoms of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Your first line of defense is hand washing and, according to the Mayo Clinic, hand washing is a simple habit that can help keep you healthy.
2. Lather well rubbing your hands vigorously together for a good 20 seconds.
3. Scrub all surfaces, including the backs of your hands, wrists, between your fingers and under fingernails.
4. Rinse well and dry hands with a clean towel.
5. Use a towel to turn off the faucet.
I can't think of one person who completely does not benefit from some kind of massage. Let's face it…massage is awesome! But there are certain groups of individuals that require a little bit of adjustment in order to receive all of that benefit.
Pregnant Ladies – can definitely benefit from massage but may need additional pillows or bolsters for added comfort. Lying on the side and sitting is also helpful. If there is a history of pregnancy issues cardiac disease, asthma, or miscarriages doc consent is highly recommended.
Elderly – love to be massaged typically and those who have lost their ability to speak especially like gently, loving massage. Osteoporosis, among other geriatric conditions, is always a consideration and any massage beyond gentle and intentional should be avoided. Pacemakers and other implants are areas to avoid as are joints and ribs.
Children – vary greatly in their response to massage. Sometimes it has to do with massage itself and sometimes it has to do with the person administering it. In the state of Florida, a child must 16 years old to be left unattended with a massage therapist who is administering a massage. Generally speaking gentle and intentional is best and with infants craniosacral therapy is the modality of choice. Since children tend to be more ticklish, firmness (or intentionality) of a stroke is helpful – too light just tickles. Children on the autistic spectrum may benefit from treatment though some have difficulty with fathoming even being touched, which might preclude them from treatment initially. One thing for sure, you never know until you try.
Questions? Ask your massage therapist and or doctor.

The little horn power of the seventh chapter of Daniel is absolutely synonymous with the power of the beast who received a deadly wound which "was healed". It is more evident that this healing should be evidenced by the fact that "all the world wondered after the beast".
Now, that these powers are the same is abundantly evident.
The saints are identified as those who "keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus." (Rev. 14:12) Therefore, to make war with the saints is to make war with Jesus, who alone can make men saints, it is also a declaration of war on the law of God which the saints uphold.
The little horn and beast powers can only refer to the same power: the Papacy.
The Papacy, at the termination of her political conquests over the kings of the earth lasted a complete 1260 years, from the time of 538CE to 1798CE. So perfectly described: she made war with the saints; so definitely recorded in history did she make void the law of God, trampling it underfoot. Her mouth commanded itself above the consciences of men, employing force over that which alone God is to have dominion over, and who Himself does not force the will.
And so surely this power lost it's kingly throne just as the mouth of God declared in 1798, but the Scripture also tell us that the deadly wound would be healed, and that must mean an absolute undoing of the thing which the deadly wound consisted of. And of these things, there are many elements we may cite, but the affects of it's healing would be evident: all the world wonders after the beast. And because Scripture so strikingly tells us that the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, there must be a definitively united confederacy between the Papacy and the governments of the world.
Since the deadly wound lost the political influence and power over the kings of the earth, the healing of the wound would reverse this with the sign of governments awestruck by the Papacy. If we would understand something of the Papal healing, we should study it's rising progression to power also.
Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
From the time that France converted to Papalism, it now began to gain power over the kingdoms with rapid speed. France was the entering in of the Papal power, and from this point forward, influence was gained until 30 years later, the Roman empire was secured. This was the rising of the power of the Papal beast who received it's deadly wound at the end of the prophetic periods stated above.
Now, the deadly wound meant a loss of power. And if we understand the beginning of those prophetic periods upon which that Papal beast received it's power, we might understand what is required for it to again secure that same power again. Since it only needed influence in one kingdom to eventually have power over the whole Roman empire, even so it only needed the influence of one kingdom to begin healing the deadly wound. The rise to power in the Papacy's birth was also to be a sign of it's rise to power again in it's revival. Such a revival is not insignificant, seeing as the Papacy is so fundamentally laid open in prophecy for being the most cruel and deceptive of the Satanic masterpieces of death and desolation to the whole earth. For such a revival to occur, it can mean nothing less than it's rise to power, but in fact, it can only mean far worse.
But when was such a door to revival to be opened to the Papacy? It was in 1929 at the signing of the Lateran Treaty. The Lateran Treaty was a concord agreement between Mussolini and the Catholic church which would grant the Catholic church to become it's own state power in Italy. This land that was afforded to the church was the Vatican, the place where St. Peter's Basilica was built through the blasphemous sponsorship program of Papal indulgences which spearheaded the Protestant Reformation to go forward. Yet despite having secured the privileges of being it's own government, this was not the complete healing of the deadly wound any more than France's conversion to Catholicism was the fullness of the Papal beast's power, but it was merely the beginning of it's healing.
But with such a small land, what influence could the Catholic church be? It could be much influence in every way as pertaining to governmental affairs. The Catholic church becoming it's own state power, it now could hold diplomatic ties to the other nations of the world. No longer did the Catholic church need to represent itself as merely an ecclesiastical authority, but could now have diplomatic relations on a political level with the governments of the world. From the time of 1929 to the present time, the Vatican has more than 175 embassies with Papal nuncios (ambassadors for the Vatican) living on government premises. What does this mean? It means that representatives of the Vatican have been planted upon nearly every country in the world to represent the Vatican at a close, intimate level with the particular government wherever the nuncios are present. The purpose of these relations cannot be undermined, for by them, not only does the Pope and his representatives hold close communication with the leaders in government, but wields influences and dialogue over the decisions and the overall shaping the policies and practices of nations on a worldwide scale.
The flag placed by the Roman Armies around Jerusalem at the time of it's desolation.
Since it was an abomination of desolation to the establishment of the Papal government in 508CE and 538CE, the very same thing is to be definitely employed at it's healing.
Likewise, we can draw some similarities to it's healing from the destruction that was to meet Jerusalem as "the abomination of desolation".
Just as Clovis' church state was a sign that the Papacy was gaining power, and finds it's contemporary with the signing of the Lateran Treaty, even so the sign of the abomination of desolation before Jerusalem's destruction was significant to understanding of a counterpart it holds today, which sign is a definite signal to leave the cities.
The flag of the Roman Standard was raised upon the grounds of Jerusalem as a signal to God's people that it was now time to leave the cities. So distinctly was this recognized as what would bring the desolation.
The Roman armies planted their conquering sign upon the grounds of Jerusalem, just as the "arms" of the Papacy (that is, the kings of the earth) began to move in against those who opposed the Papal religion. Likewise today, there is a sign worthy of mention which culminates the signing of the diplomatic relations brought in by the Lateran Treaty.
The little horn and the diverse beast power are one in the same, and the language that Scripture conveys clearly lays this fact out for us. Therefore the deadly wound that the diverse beast sustains at the end of it's prophetic period of 1260 years is the same thing which must correspond with the little horn of Daniel 7 at the end of it's prophetic count. Likewise, as the diverse beast has a healing of that wound, we should not marvel as to see the little horn rise again to great prominence finding that very same healing to it, because it is one and the same power.
It is interesting to note that the "victor's crown" lauryl on the Roman Standard flag is the same as that found on the United Nations logo.
The United Nations is the very organization which has gathered the kings of the earth and the diverse horn has it's flag raised at.cting the kings of the earth. The Papal horn was fittingly that "diverse" horn from the rest of the ten, inasmuch as it was an ecclesiastical authority and not chiefly a political authority. And this "abomination that maketh desolate" through the design and work of the Lateran Treaty has sought to "make desolate" for over 85 years. Now, the object of that abomination has been established and it's aim reached.
On September 25th, 2015, the United Nations held the largest general assembly of governments ever gathered in the history of the world. 198 nations were present there. The Vatican, though having close, and often unperceived, ties to the United Nations has been a non-member observer. While the flags of many nations were present, the Vatican flag was absent from among them. That was until the morning of the 25th when the flag was raised officially amongst the rest of the kingdoms of the world. It was a practical declaration that the Vatican was that "diverse horn" from the rest of the kingdoms, and the prophecy of the little horn was true in what followed: it was given a mouth speaking great things.
Pope Francis on that very day addressed the delegates of the United Nations Sustainable Development Conference, where each nation, including the Vatican, signed an agreement to unitedly solve what they agree to be the world's problems across the borders of this agreement in a pseudo-new world order-styled agenda.
The Papacy has gone from addressing individual nations through diplomatic relations to being received as a kingly voice in the largest governmental assembly ever held. The flag raised should be nothing less than an evident sign of the "arms" that are being influenced to stand on the Papacy's behalf on the world stage. Truly the "desolation thereof is nigh", "even at the doors".
John was shown the beginning, and conclusion of, the judgment scene of the great whore during the time of America, but which prophecy finds it's consummation the ten horns on the dragon's head.
The very abomination of desolation is because of the little horn's involvement with the kings of the earth, which "make her desolate", and then shall burn her with fire.
This judgment scene beginning is nothing less than the healing of the deadly wound, and the rising again of the little horn power, but did more happen on these judgment signs than what appears? What does the Scripture say regarding the judgment of the little horn?
Revelation 18:4-5 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. (5) For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

A key aspect of site design is the ability to seamlessly integrate elements so that customers can move from learning about a product to choosing an item to purchasing it in easy, simple steps. For this, an expert in site design must not also be technically adept at building a site, he or she must also understand how to lay out design elements artistically and cleanly. Frustrating or confusing a user with overcomplicated layouts is likely to alienate them and make them leave the website unsatisfied.

Q: How to use 12" MacBook with 49 inch super UltraWide (32:9) display? I would like my MacBook to use the maximum resolution of my display at the correct aspect ratio. However, in system preferences this is not offered (see picture).
The resolution of my display is 5120 x 1440. While maximum vertical and horizontal resolutions offered by my MacBook are both greater (see picture), being 6720 x 3780. However this is the wrong aspect ratio.

*

*Is there a way to make a custom aspect ratio (of 32:9)?

*Is total pixel count the only thing that matters, or do aspect ratios also require individual support?


Louis Oosthuizen will be happy to simply stay in contention on Saturday, knowing that Sunday's back nine will ultimately decide the Masters.
Saturday might be considered 'moving day' at a major, but Louis Oosthuizen will be more than happy if he can simply maintain his position in round three of the Masters.
Oosthuizen – the 2010 Open Championship winner who also holds the distinction of finishing as the runner-up in all four majors – shot 66 at Augusta on Friday to climb into a five-way tie for the lead.
Heading into the weekend, the South African is joined at seven under by Brooks Koepka, Adam Scott, Francesco Molinari and Jason Day, while Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson are among four players one shot behind.
"I just need a decent, solid round tomorrow [Saturday]," Oosthuizen told reporters.
"[The key is to] not play yourself out of it, just stay in touch with everyone. This golf course, you win it on the back nine on Sunday. We've seen it over the years, anything can happen on the back nine.
