Featured John MacArthur explains easy-believism, grace-only, etc.
Discussion in 'Controversial Christian Theology' started by BCsenior, Apr 14, 2019.
Grace-only, cheap-grace, hyper-grace, easy-believism, etc. are called antinomianianism.
This is the notion that a one-time justification saves … apart from sanctification.
"The message of Jesus cannot be made to accommodate any kind of cheap grace or easy-believism.
"The validation of salvation is a life of obedience.
Nevermind, I'm not replying to this thread.
Every quotation is straight out of his 1994 book!!!
what he had written ... I forget the rest of the story!
There are some today who ... "teach that Scripture promises salvation to anyone who simply believes the facts about Christ and claims eternal life. There need be no turning from sin, no resulting change in lifestyle, no commitment – not even a willingness to yield to Christ's lordship.
That's literally what I taught myself, particularly to women whom I was sexually interested in. They would ask me, how, as a Christian man, I could be willing to be sexual in my premarital relationships. I was able to deceive many women with my false doctrines....what's amazing, is that I believed what I was telling them. I really believed that ALL of my sins were paid for, regardless of which ones. The problem? I wasn't saved at all, made evident by the missing Holy Spirit that would have empowered me to obey. But I was a Gentile with only the Law of Christ written on my heart, thus I was without a Helper. And of course, Romans 7 describes exactly how I was thinking....which is that I thought I loved God, but I just couldn't obey. The things I wanted to do were not the things I was doing.
[Rom 4:16] So the promise is received by faith. It is given as a free gift. And we are all certain to receive it, whether or not we live according to the law of Moses, if we have faith like Abraham's. For Abraham is the father of all who believe.
Thess, thanks so much for sharing!
for showing you the way, and etc.
I read that book, and he was very definite about the need for living a life of obedience and cooperation with the indwelling Holy Spirit. He reflects Paul who said that they who walk in the Spirit do not do the works of the flesh. There are those who use John's words, "If we have no sin, we lie", but they misinterpret John. John actually says that we will always be sinners in the sense that no matter how we try, we will always fall short of God's standards. But John is not saying that we should just carry on sinning because we can't be perfect in the flesh. We follow our desire to be holy as much as we are able because we want to honour Christ in our lives. Paul said, "Shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound? God forbid!"
The truth is that after conversion, we strive to keep God's moral law to the best of our ability, and when we fail, we have Christ who is our advocate in heaven, and we have 1 John 1:9 to give us the way to confess our sins and receive forgiveness and cleansing.
Hey Oscar, long time no see!
You've really got it all goin', ain't you?
Now that I have left my church, CF has been my main point of contact with other believers. I am having fun posting and replying to the good, bad and the ugly! I like a good debate! With some I have been tempted to say: "Am I right, or am I right?? Hahahahaha!
But seriously, I hope that my comments have been encouraging to people -to keep their faith firmly in Christ, and if what I have said has made the difference between heaven and hell for someone, then I would be blessed and encouraged to think that the Holy Spirit does speak through me sometimes.
If you want to view some really good ministry that gives a lot of insight into what is going on in the churches, and at the same time stablizing your faith securely in Christ, then view Dave Hunt on Youtube. Many Charismatics hate him because he tells the truth about some practices, but he is a fascinating and faith-building Bible teacher and well worth viewing and listening to.
Thank you! For setting the foundation for others to build upon. I'm glad to see that you see the Gospel as it is, transcribed by my human hands. Good to know there are good people, here.
where I lived for 38 years.
That it is necessary to our happiness that we do the will of Christ, which is indeed the will of his Father in heaven. The will of God, as Christ's Father, is his will in the gospel, for there he is made known, as the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ: and in him our Father. Now this is his will, that we believe in Christ, that we repent of sin, that we live a holy life, that we love one another. This is his will, even our sanctification. If we comply not with the will of God, we mock Christ in calling him Lord, as those did who put on him a gorgeous robe, and said, Hail, King of the Jews. Saying and doing are two things, often parted in conversation of men: he that said, I go, sir,stirred never a step (Mat 21:30); but these two things God has joined in his command, and let no man that puts them asunder think to enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Thanks Thess, but what's the red all about?
What in the world? No, I don't think I'm Jesus. haha - I'll see if I can fix it.
Oscarr, I'd like to get your opinion on salvation. Do you believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit/indwelling of the Holy Spirit is required? I'm referring to what some call the second Baptism, as some believe the Holy Spirit indwells us when we believe. I think that there's likely only one indwelling, and that's when Jesus baptizes us in the Holy Spirit wich is referred to the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. (I will put my Spirit in you, and trade your heart for a heart of flesh).
I don't believe in OSAS, but I am skeptical to think that everyone that hasn't got the Holy Spirit is taking the wide gate. Because this would discount probably over 80% of the church. I would think though that anyone that is Spirit filled is closer to salvation than those without.

(I will put my Spirit in you, and trade your heart for a heart of flesh).
When we look carefully at the Scripture, we see that the Holy Spirit causes us to be born again when we receive Christ. It is the Holy Spirit who does the work of conversion in us to give us our new heart and to enliven our spirit.
We see in Scripture that the resurrected Jesus went to each disciple in turn and breathed into them, saying "Receive the Holy Spirit". This is when the disciples were born again. Then He told them to wait in Jerusalem until they were endued with power from on high. This is because they had to wait until Jesus was ascended, presented His blood in the heavenly holy of holies, and then sat down at the right hand of God. Then as the ascended, glorified Jesus, He sent the Holy Spirit to be with and in them to empower them to take the gospel to all the world.
Of course, we don't have to wait any longer for the enduement of power, which is the baptism with the Holy Spirit. This is shown in the experience of the household of Cornelius and the disciples at Ephesus where they were baptised with the Spirit immedately they were born again.
So, when the Holy Spirit breathes into a person receiving Christ, they are born again. This is not the baptism with the Spirit, because baptism speaks of either immersion or something being poured over them from above. When the already born again disciples received the baptism with the Spirit on the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came from above and settled on them with what looked like flames of fire. Then they were filled with the Spirit and spoke with tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Mistakes are made when we rely on experiences rather than knowing what the Word of God actually says. We are saved when we are born again of the Holy Spirit. Only those who have already been saved can be baptised with the Spirit. Being born again and baptised with the Spirit should happen at the same time, as the other examples in Acts shows, but because of teaching that has not been totally consistent with the Word of God, some have believed that one can be born again with having to be "baptised with the Spirit", and others believe that one has to be baptised with the Spirit in order to be saved. The former are using the cart without the horse, and the latter are putting the cart before the horse!
I am under the impression that "born again" and "saved" are synonymous.
Are you familiar with David Pawson? He claims that there is one baptism, and that the apostles were not given the Holy Spirit until Pentecost and that before Pentecost, the resurrected Jesus was explaining to them how He would give them the Holy Spirit so they'd be ready.
I have not received the Holy Spirit, I cannot yet speak in tongues. I believe, repented, was water baptized, but I question if I die today if I will be saved.
If all else fails, just read the Bible as it is written! The resurrected Jesus went to every disciple in turn, breathed into them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit". That doesn't sound like just explaining something that was going to happen later on to me. This was the point that when the disciples were born again and saved, before they were later baptised with the Spirit.
I'm not arguing with you about being saved before being baptised with the Spirit - just clarifying the significance of what the resurrected Jesus did when He breathed into the disciples. This act links with God breathing life into Adam who became a living soul. When Jesus breathed into the disciples their spirits became alive.
I think this makes more sense, than a practise run as Pawson suggests.
My question though is how do we know if we're born again? From what I described, does this qualify? To recap, I believe, repented, and was water baptized. I have not yet received the Holy Spirit. Am I born again or do I need the baptism of the Holy Spirit?

Low numeracy worsens gender inequalities, geographic inequalities and economic disadvantages originating in childhood.
Adult numeracy is historically under-researched and under-theorised. A lot of the research that already exists is school-based and focused on the individual elements and operations of numeracy.
Although levels of low adult numeracy and its outcomes are increasingly better understood, less is known about how to tackle the issue. Adults' engagement and motivation when it comes to learning later in life are particularly challenging.
Two researchers in the UK, Byner and Parsons, have particularly helped drive the debate around numeracy by demonstrating the specific relationship between poor numeracy skills and negative life outcomes – from employment to depression. Their and other researchers' work has increasingly demonstrated the importance of improving adult numeracy.
JD Carpentieri, Jenny Litster, and Lara Frumkin. 2009. Adult Numeracy: A Review of Research. NRDC.
Carpentieri, Litster and Frumkin's report provides perhaps the most comprehensive overviews of the history of trying to understand and measure numeracy in the UK. It covers a wide span, including findings from early OECD skills surveys, analysis of the Skills for Life Surveys, the British Cohort Study and projects ran during the Skills for Life Strategy
In 1981, the National Child Development Survey, also known as the British Cohort Survey, asked participants to take a numeracy test. The 1990s saw a significant rise in basic skills assessments. In particular, in 1996, the UK featured in IALS - The International Adult Literacy Survey conducted by the OECD.
Britain's poor performance amongst 20 other countries led Sir Claus Moser to ask the government, in 1999, to consider the available evidence on adult literacy and numeracy in England and suggest some ways of amending the situation. The Skills for Life strategy was launched in 2001 and produced two surveys – one in 2003 and one in 2011. These found that millions of people were at a numeracy level too poor to function well in society.
The findings collectively identify how low numeracy worsens gender inequalities, geographic inequalities and economic disadvantages originating in childhood.
In the 2003 Skills for Life survey, while poor numeracy was often coupled with poor literacy, many people had numeracy skills one level below their literacy skills. Early finding also showed that adults who are out of work lose their skills - an issue that is particularly acute for numeracy. Those who have low numeracy skills and remain at work are less likely to receive a pay increase or get a promotion.
Often adults do not recognise the mathematics they actually do in daily life, instead labelling it is 'common sense' and not seeing any connections to the subject they learned at school. There is a palpable disconnect between school and adult maths. Low self-perception of difficulties presents a major problem for policy makers trying to motivate adults to take part in numeracy training. Inversely, when adults do recognise the problem, they are often driven to improve their skills.
Finally, Moser's report highlights that when adults do sign up for further training, embedding teaching in skills important to a student's background increased their motivation. It's notable that embedding numeracy in vocational training had a powerful effect on achievement in both areas.

It's an interesting wrinkle in time for the colliding worlds of advertising and digital empowerment.
Exactly 20 years ago I was part of the team that sold the very first banner ads on the World Wide Web. On 10/27/94, Wired Magazine flipped the switch that lit up HotWired, the "cyberstation" that ushered brands like IBM, Volvo, MCI, Club Med and – famously – AT&T into the digital age. From the humble origin of a dozen brands paying $15,000 per month for static banner placement with zero analytics, web advertising is closing in on $50 billion in annual spending.
At precisely the same moment, the banner ad (and related forms like the 15-second video pre-roll and the mobile display ad) has become a social touchstone that evokes a firestorm of condescension and condemnation at every turn. Indeed, the 20th anniversary of web advertising has mobilized the kill-the-banner crowd like so many pitchfork-wielding peasants out to stop Dr. Frankenstein. To the casual observer this all may seem a bit schizophrenic: Can the digital ad business really have been built and sustained on top of such a flawed delivery vehicle? And if web advertising techniques are really so ham-handed, why are they now being co-opted by the behemoth of television in the forms of screen overlays, dynamic ad serving and programmatic distribution?
Interesting questions indeed. But they are also the wrong questions.
Over my 20 very active years serving media companies other digital and traditional advertising players, I've had a front row seat for a show that is consistently mistranslated, misdiagnosed and misunderstood. Digital advertising was born to an internet that people read and watched. During that seminal period of tiny gif images and narrow, scrolling columns of type we started calling those who put content on the web "publishers" – a role that was even then retiring to a world of hagiographic nostalgia. And advertising – well, that was a science to be grafted onto the web from other forms of publishing and broadcasting as technology and bandwidth allowed. Those first crude banners were nothing more than outdoor ads writ small. That they gave way eventually to larger, more picturesque 'magazine' ads and then to TV-style video spots meant more and more growth, but it also continued to miss the larger point that defines the true value of digitization – and lights our path for what happens now.
Let's be honest in admitting that we haven't really been all that much of a literary culture for much of the last 50 years and the internet doesn't change that. You're now just over 400 words into this essay: statistically, it's already one of the longest things most American's will read on the internet today. Over these two decades, the web has become something everyone does – not something they watch or read. We look for answers, we pass jokes back and forth to one another, we settle arguments. We preen and strut, we compare and buy, we "snack" on short bits of video. We organize things, we plan projects, we opine. Does this mean that content no longer matters? Or that it matters more than ever? The maddeningly simple answer is that it matters when it matters; when it's closely aligned with the experience the consumer is living at that moment in time. And not for its own sake.
This leads me to the crossroads confronting those who aim to create the next $50 billion of revenue through "digital advertising" and for the advertising industry as a whole. The rocket ride from 1994 to 2014 has been driven by a combination of shifting consumer behavior (the increased time spent on browsers and devices is inescapable even to the staunchest traditional media die hard) and our ability to efficiently "tag along" with the experiences consumers are choosing to create for themselves digitally. Always on, always in our hands, the internet has become an extension of us as people. But advertising, mostly, has not kept up.
Two dominant trends in digital advertising today are data optimization and the programmatic trading of advertising display opportunities. In the first, we are overlaying information to identify and make decisions about those who we might show our ads to. In the second, we are building the technology and functionality to trade "ad futures" with one another. Both of these are critically important, "hard trends," and they'll continue – to some point – to usher more dollars into digital channels. But they are also both exercises in division and reduction: help me show my ad to fewer of the people who don't matter; help me buy fewer of the ads that don't work or don't' matter.
So what, then, will create the next great wave of growth for the advertising business? I believe it will happen only by confronting the truth that advertising in a digital world matters most when it least resembles advertising. Google and (to a lesser and less consistent degree) Facebook start the value creation at the point of consumer action and intent. The form that "advertising" takes is malleable and built into the experience: a helpful suggestion via some text as they answer my search query; a post from a marketer on a topic around which I'm already active. Buzzfeed has made a huge splash by helping marketers create just the kind of snackable content-McNuggets that we already like to trade with one another across the very platforms — Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr – where we already trade them.
What is the consumer doing today with digital tools and how can I help her do it better?
How might we create new value by blending discovery, commerce and productivity into a new experience shared by consumer and marketer?
If there were no such thing as an "advertising budget," how would we create a connection between consumers and brands, companies and products that can bring new value into the consumer's life?
These are the questions to be confronted not only by "digital advertising" leaders; after all, what advertising will not be digital by the time we reach our next ten year milestone? No, this is the existential moment for all of what used to be called Madison Avenue and "the Media." Because when Wired flipped that switch 20 years ago they also set in motion a chain of events that prompts the re-imagination of all advertising.
From this point forward, don't call any of it advertising. It will either be something much, much bigger – or it will be background noise.

It's smart to do your homework in a situation like this.
When I ran your question past Jeffrey M. Stibel, chairman and CEO of Dun & Bradstreet Credibility, which issues credit scores for businesses, he said that if you made a personal guarantee on the loan, then using your home equity line to pay down the business line could make sense. "Home equity lines are relatively affordable, lower risk since there is no personal guarantee, and — in this particular case — may be a good way to subsidize the business while it gets back on solid footing," he said.
It could also help you avert the damage to your personal credit that you could potentially suffer if you can't pay the business loan. "Business credit that is backed personally risks a personal bankruptcy," he says.
Nat Wasserstein, a crisis manager with Lindenwood Associates in Upper Nyack, NewYork, and New York City, also agreed that refinancing your debt using your home equity line of credit could give you some breathing room. However, he says there's a downside to tapping your home equity: "You'll encumber personal assets for business," he says. What happens if your business fails? You may end up with no way to bring in income and find yourself falling behind on your mortgage, which puts your house at risk.
I assume that when you say your business is doing a fourth of what it was, you are referring to sales. If that's the case, you may have what Wasserstein calls an "upside down" balance sheet. You could have too much debt relative to the sales you're taking in. That's because you took out the loan at a time when you had four times more revenue.
In a scenario like this, Wasserstein recommends that entrepreneurs look for ways to get rid of the debt entirely and not just stretch it out. In an ideal scenario, you'd figure out a way to bring in a lot more money, so you could retire the loan by paying it off. That might mean coming up with a new product or service more profitable than what you are selling now — something you may need to do, anyway, if sales are a quarter of what they once were. Many businesses have had to reinvent themselves in a more digital and global economy, and brainstorming with your business advisors and mentors or a few fellow entrepreneurs that you trust could pay off. Taking a second job for a while may also help you build momentum in paying down the loan.
If those full-payback options are not possible, it's worth considering another option: a "workout" or restructuring of the debt with your bank. Essentially, you need to alert the bank that you no longer have enough revenue to support the loan payments. This may enable you to negotiate an arrangement in which the bank forgives part of the debt so you can improve the balance sheet of your business.
Why would a bank do this? A lender would rather that you keep the business open so you can pay back some of the debt than see you go out of business, he explains. If you close your doors, the bank will likely have to liquidate the business, and will probably walk away with less money than if you keep working and make loan payments. "It's a risk management issue for the bank," Wasserstein says.
However, this is not easy to orchestrate if it looks like you have some other means to pay the debt. "A bank workout when a business is doing that poorly is unlikely if the individual can afford to pay the loan as is," says Stibel. Given that the loan is for $40,000 and not, say, $1 million, the bank may not buy an argument that you can't come up with the money somehow.
Anyone looking to do a workout would need a turnaround professional to make a strong financial case to the bank that you cannot generate the necessary sales to pay down the loan, Wasserstein says. Once the bank has that information, it is under an obligation to write down the loan, he says. "They have no choice," he says. "They can't lie to bank regulators when evidence is being presented to them that a loan is no good." Once a bank writes down the loan, it is a lot easier to forgive, he says.
If you want to go this route, don't just walk into your bank and try to negotiate the terms yourself. This is a complex negotiation, and you need a financial professional with experience in restructuring a business on your side, says Wasserstein.
As in many areas of financial services, some professionals in this area are more reputable than others. He suggests talking to a well-respected attorney in your community who handles business bankruptcies to see if he or she can recommend a good turnaround professional. The Turnaround Management Association, a nonprofit group with more than 9,000 members, is another potential source.
Having interviewed several entrepreneurs who have gone through a workout with a bank over the years, I can tell you that it was extremely stressful for many of them. The bank may play hardball. But in some cases, it may be worth enduring if you emerge with a much lower debt burden and can save your business. Good luck — and please check back in and let me know how you're doing.
Houston police are asking for the public's help to find a man they say donned a surgical mask, scrubs and a black baseball cap to rob a cash loan business at gunpoint in southwest Houston last December.
Police say the man walked into a cash loan business in the 8300 block of W. Bellfort around 11:45am on December 30, 2014, and held the clerk at gunpoint.
He escaped with money from the register.
Police say the suspect is a black male in his early 20's. He approximately 5'6″-5'8″ tall and has a "fit" build.
If you have any information about this crime, or any other felony crime, please call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477). You may be eligible for a cash reward.
FALLING interest rates are causing a surge of activity as Mount Isa area residents are looking for ways to save more money on their home loan, says Yellow Brick Road Mount Isa branch principal Steve Williams.
The Reserve Bank kept the cash rate on hold in March following a significant rate cut in February, dropping the rate to a historic low of 2.25 per cent.
1. Have a plan: You should plan to own your home as fast as possible, and therefore pay as little interest as possible.
2. Pay attention to the rate: Stay up to date with what the market value is on rates. Consider a $450,000 loan over 25 years. If you had a 4.95 per cent mortgage and refinanced at 4.39 per cent – your repayments would decrease by $147 a month, saving you over $55,000 in interest over the life of your loan.
3. Be prepared to refinance: To save on a mortgage, you must be prepared to go to a lender with a lower interest rate than your current one.
4. Understand the loan term: Shorter loan terms usually mean you pay less interest and pay the debt faster. Let's say you have a $450,000 mortgage at 4.39 per cent, and you opt for a 25-year loan rather than a 30-year: you'd save $68,100 in interest alone.
5. Repayment frequency is key: The higher the frequency of payment, the slower the interest accrues and the faster you pay off the mortgage. If you pay half the monthly repayment amount fortnightly, rather than monthly, or a quarter of the monthly payment weekly, you end up saving the equivalent of an extra month's payment each year. Consider an average mortgage of around $450,000 and a 30-year term at 4.39 per cent. You'd save around four years and four months off your loan term and more than $60,000 in interest.
6. Put windfalls into your home loan: Tax refunds, Medicare rebates and work bonuses should go into the home loan, cutting interest and speeding repayment.
7.Have the right loan: Ensure your mortgage allows you to put in lump sum amounts. Many fixed rate loans don't allow this. If you're offered an offset mortgage that lets you put your income directly into the loan, make sure this suits you.
8.Do it early: Increasing your repayments and putting in lump sums is most effective when you do it early in the term of the loan.
9. Know your fees: The headline repayment figure in your mortgage agreement is not the only number you should look at. Lenders charge different fees, so be cognisant of any incidentals that may not be captured in the comparison rate.
10. Beware of interest only: Don't select an interest-only loan if you want to repay it quickly. Always opt for principal plus interest. When borrowers ''set and forget'' their mortgage, they usually pay too much interest and have the debt longer than they should.

Ireland scrum coach Greg Feek has been enjoying his new role with Japanese club NEC Green Rockets.

Murray Kinsella reports from Surfers Paradise
JUST OVER TWO months into his Japanese adventure, Greg Feek has figured out how to turn the tables on Joe Schmidt.
The Ireland scrum specialist is now also an assistant coach with Top League side NEC Green Rockets, combining his new role in Japan with his international duties through until the completion of the 2019 World Cup.

While the rest of Schmidt's assistants – Richie Murphy, Andy Farrell and Simon Easterby – extended their contracts into 2020, Feek's deal expires next year.
The New Zealander has been an integral part of the Ireland set-up since joining full-time in 2014, having previously worked under Schmidt at Leinster. Feek has had a major impact on Irish scrummaging, with the dark day of Twickenham in 2012 a distant memory.
Feek arrived in Australia from Japan on Monday of this week, linking up with his fellow Ireland coaches and relishing a return to working with a world-class squad.
Now based in the city of Abiko in Japan, Feek says his role with Ireland hasn't altered all that much.
"I won't be there [in Ireland] full-time but it won't change too much," said Feek at their team base in the Royal Pines Resort today.
"The provinces do a great job, the communication is pretty straightforward. Most people have some sort of app to stay in touch, it's just a matter of making sure you're using the right one! Apart from that, we've got good relationships.
"I've known Joe long enough that I can almost predict when he's going to call me, so I'll email or text him first. I try and do that at four o'clock in the morning to pay him back for some of the emails he's sent me at that time!
"We all get on really well together in the coaching group, we have some good fun, and I was really looking forward to catching up with the lads again, not just the players."
Ireland is his sole focus over the next three weeks but Feek has been enjoying his new life in Japan ahead of the start of the Top League at the end of August.

"It's been great, I'm getting my head around it," said Feek. "It's always part of the challenge adapting to cultures and that but I've enjoyed it.
"It was more of a family-first sort of thing, getting the wife home [to New Zealand] and then from that, I scratched my head and then this opportunity literally came up within weeks and it was a progression for my coaching as well, and a lot of benefits around that.
"I felt that it fitted with what's happening next year, it allowed me to stay on with the Irish team to the World Cup, so in terms of personal development and staying in the game, which is always a challenge as a coach, I just thought I'd take it and go with it."
Having caught up with his mates yesterday, Feek was straight into work with Ireland today as they went through analysis in the morning and trained hard on the pitch at Royal Pines in the afternoon.
Ireland are favourites ahead of the series, coming off the back of a Grand Slam as they are, but Feek knows that they will face three ferocious battles.
"A lot of the Leinster guys have had Michael Cheika as a coach and they know that he drives them pretty hard in terms of the physical side of the game," said Feek.
"You know they're going to come out and try to win some of those physical confrontations, so you've got that and you've got some massively X-factor players who can turn over the ball.
"If you don't look after it, it could be seven points. So, yeah, there's an expectation there that it's game where you've got to be clinical in what you do. Entry points into a Test match could be ill-discipline or a dropped pass that allows them back in.
"So, it's probably one of the things we've been driving – to limit our mistakes and stay in the game that way."

Over The Hill with Diane Armstrong for November 29, 2012
I Met a Celebrity
By Diane Armstrong
He was a young man, just out of Ridley College when he came to Timmins to work for the Timmins Daily Press. A bit older than I was, there was a lot about this young lad in the 1950s that set him apart from the local fellows. One couldn't help but notice him.
Those were the days when hip, young men wore 'strides' (peg-legged pants) topped by a bomber jacket. They sported duck-tail haircuts slicked down with Brylcreme. The Ridley College chap wore a homburg hat and a long trench-coat – even on hot summer days.
I had a summer job as a clerk, at Moisley and Ball Drug store, which was situated on the corner of Cedar and Third, in downtown Timmins. Most people entered the store at the front, but just after ten every morning, Peter always used the side door, across from the Esquire Grill,
He bought one pack of Buckingham cigarettes daily. He was always polite, but had an ever-present twinkle in his eye. Although his clothing was odd for the streets of Timmins, you could not help but like him. I never had a conversation with him, other than counting out his change, but I knew where he worked and that he came from 'down south'.
September came and I went back to school. I never saw Peter again.
Years later, I became a fan of CBC Radio's Morningside. Much, much later I learned that Peter Gzowski, host of Morningside was the same Peter who came into Moisley and Ball Drugs every morning back in my summer of the 1950s.
On radio, I loved his infectious laugh. One morning he delighted in telling his listeners about the spring-like weather they were having in Toronto. As I listened, I looked out my own window and saw heavy, wet snow falling. I shot off a letter reminding him of how winters in the north seemed never ending and gently chided him for spoiling my day. I also said something about Northern Ontario having four seasons: early winter, mid-winter, late winter and next winter. I felt better getting that off my chest.
Much to my surprise, he read that letter on the air but laughed so hard he hit the microphone with a loud bang, lost control and got Shelagh Rogers to finish reading it. He was still laughing at the end of the programme. That was Peter: natural, human.
It was through the communication of letters like mine that poured in from all over the country that made Peter the 'Voice of Canada'. He was our friend.
Peter was a proud Canadian. He taught us all to love this country. We were not flag wavers. Peter Gzowski, probably not with any overt intent, took us across the country and through the people he interviewed, we learned that being Canadian was not such a bad thing after all.
Morningside made an impression on me. I had come from an era where England ruled and the United States was envied. Instead of thinking that all things British or American were better than Canadian, he encouraged me to start looking seriously at Canadians who were shaping our country – people like Peterson, Stanfield, Lightfoot, Crosby, Bateman, Camp, Hurtig, Znaimer, Atwood and Richler. I looked at my country with brand new eyes.
Although he died in 2002, it's rare that a month goes by, without someone remembering Peter Gzowski. Just the other day, I learned that he had co-written a song with Ian Tyson. Called "One Single River", it advocated Canadian unity. Typical Gzowski.
But Peter Gzowski recognized our diversity as few others did. He had a contest once, asking people to complete the sentence, "As Canadian as....". The winning entry, chosen by that man with the incredible sense of humour was, "As Canadian as possible – under the circumstances." The winning entry was pure Peter – all the way. I still miss him.
That's my view from Over the Hill.

Six months after its start, an update on the Sheka trial in the DRC
Reasons for hope after the first hearings
Guaranteeing victims' safety
A step backward?
Adapting the legal strategy
The hearings began in November 2018, yet they are still far from over. Why? The trial of warlord Ntabo Ntaberi, known as Sheka, is one of the most complex ever held in North Kivu.
How is the legal system supposed to adjudicate the crimes of one of the worst militias in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) – a militia that sowed terror over hundreds of square kilometers for more than five years?
An even more difficult question – how can victims be kept safe when the main accused, a warlord who goes by the name Sheka, still boasts of his support in the region? Through its work with the Cadre de concertation of North Kivu*, TRIAL International is helping the legal actors confront the challenges of this case.
Learn more about the case
The trial got off to an auspicious start. "The first victims to be heard, in February 2019, were six former child soldiers recruited by Sheka's militia. They had spent months, sometimes years, with the group," explains Legal Advisor Elsa Taquet, who was dispatched to Goma to follow the trial. "They provided very detailed explanations of the militia's functioning, the chain of command leading to Sheka, and the barbaric techniques that were used to terrorize the population."
The child soldiers' participation in the hearings did not come without difficulty. An extremely detailed protection plan had to be developed… and it was soon put to the test. As the date of the hearings approached, the youths received telephone threats warning them not to testify against Sheka.
"As part of the Cadre de concertation of North Kivu, the group in charge of protection immediately organized the children's relocation and reinforced their protection. The security plan, which TRIAL International had helped elaborate, anticipated such risks in the lead-up to the hearings. We were therefore able to react quickly," notes Elsa Taquet. It is because of this accompaniment that the six child soldiers were able to testify before the court.
On the other hand, most of the witnesses to an incident crucial to the prosecution's case (the attack on the village of Luvungi in July 2010) declined to appear before the court for fear of retaliation, even though a strict protection plan had been put in place. Only two women, demonstrating remarkable courage, ultimately agreed to confront their torturer. The court was especially impacted by their story, which brought to light another of the militia's terrifying practices: mass rape as a weapon of war.
Learn more about the support provided to victims in the Sheka case
Unfortunately, despite their promising start, the hearings seem to be at a standstill. Sheka and his co-defendants are deploying delay tactics to draw the proceedings out. Making matters worse, the pace of the hearings slowed at the beginning of May, with the court only in session three to four hours per day, two days per week.
Of course, the court must attend to other cases in addition to this trial. Nevertheless, Elsa Taquet remains frustrated: "Given the gravity of the crimes, it is disappointing to see that the case is not moving faster. And for the victims, every postponement of their appearance increases the risks to their security, lowers their confidence in the legal system and their determination to testify… In order to keep the victims engaged and invested, the lawyers are working diligently to explain to them the twists and turns of the proceedings."
Faced with these setbacks, TRIAL International has adapted its legal strategy: the victims' lawyers are introducing a limited number of victims and witnesses, whose testimony will serve to bolster the prosecution's case on the next indictment counts.
Elsa Taquet defends this choice: "Our goal is to demonstrate the scope of the crimes perpetrated by Sheka's militia. While each victim's testimony is unique and important, some include more incriminating elements than others. We are counting on those testimonies to convince the judges of the defendants' guilt."
It is clear that despite these adjustments, the trial will continue for several more weeks, or even months – an exercise in perseverance for TRIAL International, its partners and above all, Sheka's victims, who are still waiting for justice.
* TRIAL International's work in North Kivu is conducted in the framework of the Cadre de concertation, an informal network of international actors collaborating to support the work of Congolese military jurisdictions in the investigation and prosecution of mass crimes in North Kivu.

Schronisko na Zelenicy (słoweń. Planinski dom na Zelenici) – schronisko turystyczne, które leży na Przełęczy Zelenickiej (Zeleniško sedlo) między granicznym grzbietem Na Možeh na północy i ścianą Begunjščicy na południu. Obszar Zelenicy jest znany jako ośrodek sportów zimowych. Z przełęczą Ljubelj jest połączony wyciągiem krzesełkowym. Oprócz przygotowanych nartostrad oferuje też narciarstwo turowe z okolicznych szczytów. Schroniskiem zarządza PD (Towarzystwo Górskie) Tržič. Schronisko jest otwarte od piątku po południu do niedzieli wieczór i we wszystkie święta. W czasie pracy ośrodka narciarskiego Zelenica schronisko jest otwarte też w pozostałe dni. Dla grup także po umówieniu się.

Łóżka w pokojach – 50 (1 pokój 2-osobowy, 1 pokój 3-osobowy, 1 pokój 4-osobowy, 3 pokoje 5-osobowe, 2 pokoje 8-osobowe, 1 pokój 10-osobowy ze wspólnym miejscami leżącymi). Dodatkowe miejsca awaryjne w przypadku zajęcia całego schroniska.
Jadalnia na 70 miejsc, świetlica na 30 miejsc. Gościom schroniska jest do dyspozycji bezpłatny bezprzewodowy dostęp do internetu, który jest używany przede wszystkim do działalności Górskiego Centrum Naukowego.

Historia
Schronisko leży na małej równinie przełęczy Zelenickiej między północną ścianą Begunjščicy i południowym zboczem granicznego grzbietu Na Možeh. Pierwsze schronisko na Zelenicy w 1929 wybudowało pięciu przedsiębiorców, jednak nie chcieli jej wynająć Tržickiej filii Słoweńskiego Towarzystwa Górskiego (SPD); schronisko zostało spalone podczas okupacji. W 1950 zaczęli budować schronisko górskie pracownicy szkoły milicji, która znajdowała się wtedy w Begunjach; niedokończone schronisko 15 grudnia 1952 wynajęło PD Tržič, które je prowizorycznie urządziło i następnego roku też otwarło. Na mocy umowy między RSNZ (Republikańskim Sekretariatem Spraw Wewnętrznych), który był właścicielem budynku i PZS (Słoweńskim Związkiem Górskim), 24 lipca 1962 PD Tržič dostało obiekt na trwałą własność. Schronisko po przejęciu w pełni dokończono i urządzono oraz uroczyście otwarto 19 stycznia 1966. W 1992 nadbudowano przedsionek i w ten sposób urządzono izbę naukową. Schronisko w grudniu 1999 całkowicie spłonęło. Towarzystwo go odbudowało i jest od 2011 znów otwarte.

Alright, it seems to me that CPU ghz have gone down and frontside bus has increased, how does this effect the overall speed of the system? I have a celeron 2.7 with a bus of 533 Mhz. How would this compair to say a AMD 2.0 Ghz with a 1600 or 2000 Mhz bus? The CPU speed has gone down but the bus speed has increased?
Also, I was thinking of buying a motherboard/CPU combo from tiger or newegg...can I plug and play or would I have to adjust the windows settings? Or is this entirely a bios thing that should be no problem, provided that motherboard bios supports the CPU? I was thinkig about moving to 939 interface or 754 interface, any suggestions on boards or CPUs?
So, since store purchased computers don't come with the install disk, then I'll have to purchase an OS?
Store purchased PCs tie their Windows XP licence to the bits inside that PC. Plus the recovery methods will only work on the board that it expects to find.
An upgrade of the motherboard is considered to result in a "new personal computer" to which Microsoft® OEM operating system software cannot be transferred from another computer. If the motherboard is upgraded or replaced for reasons other than a defect, then a new computer has been created and the license of new operating system software is required.
What this basically means is the product key you get on the side of your new HP/Compaq/etc machine is null and void if the motherboard inside it is replaced when it isn't faulty and you have to go and buy another copy of XP as well - the licence on the side of the case isn't valid anymore.
This is of course one good reason to 1) buy Retail XP as opposed to OEM and 2) Build your own PC because your Retail licence is valid no matter how many times you change the board.
XP home edition or XP pro? I don't have anything hooked up to a network, but I had though about hooking up both my wifes labtop and my desktop to a router for a joint printer.

Corey Fields, What 'religious freedom' used to mean, Baptist News Global
At the turn of the 17th century, an English lawyer named Thomas Helwys had become part of a separatist congregation in Lincolnshire (it is to this congregation that many Baptists trace their roots). They were dissenters from the Church of England, established by King Henry VIII. In what is considered the first written call for religious freedom in the English language, Helwys wrote, "If the King's people be obedient and true subjects, obeying all humane laws made by the King, our Lord the King can require no more: for men's religion to God is betwixt God and themselves; the King shall not answer for it, neither may the King be judge between God and man."
According to William M. Pinson Jr., "[King James I] had Helwys thrown in Newgate Prison, a terrible place, filled with rodents, insects, disease, filth, and hardened criminals. Helwys, a devout pastor and peaceful citizen, had done nothing violent or immoral to warrant such punishment." He died in prison.
Across the Atlantic, a few decades later, Anglican clergyman-turned-separatist Roger Williams had developed his own religious convictions that put him at odds with the Puritans. In the Massachusetts Bay Colony, you were subject to whippings or imprisonment for not attending worship or other offenses against the church. You could not vote if you were not a member of the correct church. Your taxes supported the church. Pinson writes, "The attitude of those in power in Massachusetts was that if people did not agree with the ruling saints, they could leave." (Sound familiar?) If you chose to stay but insisted on a different way of worshiping and believing, "the consequences were severe. For example, four Quakers were hanged in the colony."
Roger Williams (not Thomas Jefferson) was the first to speak of a "wall of separation" between church and state, and wrote that "an enforced uniformity of religion throughout a nation or civil state, confounds the civil and religious, and denies the principles of Christianity …." Williams was threatened with exile, so he fled to modern-day Rhode Island, where he not only established the first Baptist church on American soil but chartered the first colony that guaranteed complete religious freedom for all people. He knew firsthand what religious persecution was.
Once upon a time, "religious freedom" was the cry of the oppressed minority when basic human rights were being denied them by their own government because of their religious beliefs. Today, in the United States, "religious freedom" is becoming the cry of the privileged and powerful concerning what they can rightfully deny someone else because of religious beliefs. It has been a radical shift, and it is an embarrassing travesty.
Religious freedom used to be about gaining the protection of the law, not putting oneself above the law. In the late 1700s, Baptist minister John Leland wrote, "Let every man speak freely without fear — maintain the principles that he believes — worship according to his own faith, either one God, three Gods, no God, or twenty Gods; and let government protect him in so doing."
Even the 1993 federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), widely seen as a correction to an unpopular Supreme Court ruling in Employment Division v. Smith, came about as an effort to protect religious minorities from undue marginalization. It was not meant to allow Christian business owners to remove from within the reach of their tentacles anything or anyone offending their religious sensibilities.
Unfortunately, that's the space we've entered. In 2014, under the guise of "religious freedom," and stemming from a medically dubious claim about abortifacients, Hobby Lobby won the right to micromanage what kinds of contraception their female employees can obtain with their employer sponsored insurance.
Recently, we've seen a new string of so-called "religious freedom bills" in the states. Even though elected officials like Governor Mike Pence of Indiana disingenuously claim their state RFRA bills are not about LGBT issues, anyone paying attention knows what's going on. In the last few years, a number of local cases involving Christian bakers, photographers and florists refusing to serve gay couples gained national attention. Lo and behold, new state religious freedom bills were introduced in state legislatures shortly thereafter. The "fix" in Indiana was not a well thought out policy but a hasty response to intense pressure that has left both sides unsatisfied.
Despite claims that Indiana's bill did not differ significantly from the federal RFRA, it did in several ways. Most notably, it extended the issue of religious freedom beyond the context of citizens and their government. For those who wrote and fought for the First Amendment, the context of religious freedom was the struggle to gain the right to worship in the place and manner of our choosing, and govern our churches as we choose, without government interference.
Being required to conduct your business fairly and within commerce regulations does not constitute the loss of freedom or religious persecution. As Helwys expressed in his writing, citizens should obey "all humane laws," asking only that the state let God be the judge of their religion. For help with determining whether you're suffering religious persecution, see Emily C. Heath's 10 question quiz.
J. Brent Walker's advice seems prudent: "Try loving your LGBT neighbors unconditionally and understand that providing them goods and services in the marketplace is an act of Christian hospitality, not an indication of approval of their nuptial decisions." One must also wonder why we don't see the same Christian business owners singling out other perceived sins.
Those of us who can worship when and how we choose need to realize what side of privilege we're on. Religious persecution is still very real today. Let's not diminish and insult the experience of those who actually suffer. American Christians tend to confuse criticism with persecution.
Jesus said to his followers, "If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles" (Matt. 5:41). This teaching was delivered within the context of first-century Palestine under Roman occupation in which impressment was common; i.e., a Roman soldier conscripting someone to carry his equipment. I can imagine such acts made the Jewish people feel complicit in Rome's oppression, yet Jesus told them to go the extra mile.
Can we, who enjoy a much better situation and amazing religious freedom, find it within ourselves to be just as gracious? Let's not just bake one cake, but two.

Mother Ganga: The Holy River
River Ganga is the second largest river of the Indian subcontinent, emerging from the mighty Himalayas of the serene state of Uttarakhand (India). As per historic beliefs, the princely states of Kannauj and Awadh prospered only because of this Holy River. Several thousand people from various locations take bath everyday in the River Ganga that fall on its course, such as Rishikesh, Haridwar, Varanasi, Ujjain and many others. For Hindus, the river is considered not just sacred, but is also worshipped and loved by them as a Mother. Bathing in this river is considered auspicious and beneficial, especially on occasions of Somvati Amavasya, Kartik Poornima, Basant Panchami, the month of Saavan, Chaudas, Baisakhi, Nirjala Ekadashi and Maha Shivratri. Apart from the religious reasons, Ganga is considered important for various other reasons:
This river has a self cleansing attribute as its water can be saved for decades. It can never get spoiled or infected.
River Ganga helps irrigate massive regions of northern India. Northern farmers are mostly dependent on this holy river.
Bathing in this river cures several skin diseases due to presence of high Sulphur content in it.
It is said that taking a dip in Ganga during monsoon is very beneficial for health since many medicinal herbs come flowing in the water from the mighty Himalayas.
Mythological Significance:
Rig Veda writings do not have any particular mention of River Ganga, but in later Vedas, it has been given a lot of significance. The religious scriptures show numerous names that have been given to the holy river along with stories regarding its arrival on Earth.
Bali and Lord Vishnu (Vishnupadi or Bhagavat-padi)
In Bhagavata Puran, Lord Vishnu is incarnated as 'Vamana' in the Kingdom of the demon king Mahabali. Mahabali was an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu and wanted to become powerful with his blessings. Even the God of Gods, Indra, was afraid that Bali would take over the entire universe with his evil acts; and hence, Lord Indra sought help from Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu disguised himself as a Brahmin and knocked the doors of Bali, who always gave in to the demands of Brahmins. Lord Vishnu asked him for 3 steps of land. Bali agreed and decided to grant the Brahmin his wish. The Brahmin then started measuring his three steps and with every single step, he grew in size. He took his first step, with which he covered the entire Earth, and pierced a hole through which Ganga came out; with his second step, he measured the skies and so, nothing was left to be covered by his third foot. Seeing this, Bali bowed his head and Lord Vishnu kept his foot on his head and pushed him into the world of demons. Lord Brahma, who washed the feet of Lord Vishnu, collected that water into his Kamandala. River Ganga touched the lotus feet of Lord Vishnu before entering the universe and due to this reason, Ganga is often addressed as Vishnupadi or Bhagavat-padi (originating from the feet of the God). Sagara (Bhagirathi, Mandakini, Alaknanda)
Another sacred script talks about King Sagara, the descendent of Suryavanshi (sun god) and his 'Ashvamedha yagya' where his horse was set free and was followed by his 60,000 sons. Lord Indra once stole their horse and while the sons of Sagara were searching for the horse, they accidentally disturbed the great sage Kapila, who was in his meditation. Aggravated sage cursed them and burnt them (bhasma) into ashes by his Yogic powers. All other princes requested sage Kapila to forgive their souls and bless the deceased, so that they could at least attain salvation (Moksha). Kapila advised them that their souls could be liberated only if the water of 'Brahmma Loka' is sprinkled on them. King Bhagirath meditated (tapasya) continuously day and night for several years to please lord Brahama and help his sons achieve Moksha. After years of prayers and dedication, King Bhagirath finally could please Lord Brahama and kept forward his request. Sadly, after hearing the king's wish, Lord Brahama asked King Bhagirath to request Lord Shiva to hold River Ganga in His mighty hair locks, since He was the only one who could hold the tremendous force of the falling stream of Ganga; which otherwise would have resulted in massive destruction. After endless prayers, Lord Shiva was pleased by Bhagirath's devotion and blessed him by agreeing to his wish. And this is how River Ganga entered the universe because of undying prayers and dedication of King Bhagirath to liberate the souls of sixty thousand sons of King Sagara. The Holy Ganga fell in different streams from Shiva's jata (hairlocks) and was respectively names as Bhagirathi, Mandakini, Alaknanda, and so on.
Ramayana (Rama Ganga):
When river Ganga touched the feet of Lord Rama before leaving the universe, Lord Rama gave her a boon that whenever he will take birth on Earth, He will reside along the banks of Ganga. Later, He took birth in Ayodhya, which exists on the banks of river Sarayu (a tributary of Ganga), and during his time of exile in forest (Vanvas), he lived besides the bank of Ganga streams. This is the major reason, why Holy Ganga is also sometimes known as 'Rama Ganga'.
Cultural Significance:
According to Hindu beliefs, one can get rid of all the past sins if taken a dip in the Holy River.
Hindus keep the sacred water of Ganga in their houses for various forms of worship and rituals. No Hindu Puja is complete without Ganga Jal.
When a person is on death-bed, Ganga Jal is poured in his mouth. It is believed that this act can open the doors of heaven for the deceased person and his soul gets liberated.
Hindus' cremation ceremonies are performed on the banks of the river Ganga and their ashes are immersed into this Holy River, which leads a person to the path of Moksha (bliss). Places like Haridwar, Varanasi, Prayag are considered as holy places due to their location on the banks of Ganga.
This Himalayan daughter, Ganga, gathers millions of people from all around the world for a fair popularly known as Kumbh mela, which occurs once in very 12 years. The kumbh mela is celebrated in four sacred cities- Haridwar, Allahabad, Ujjain and Nasik . According to Hindu mythology, Kumbh Mela is observed on places where Amrit was dropped during the famous Sagar Manthan.
River Ganga is not just a river or sacred water for Hindus, it is respected as a mother, a creator and has a lot of medicinal qualities. On several popular banks of Ganga like Haridwar, Varanasi, Rishikesh, the priests worship the Ganga by performing an Aarti which is a worth watching sight and is attended by people of all walks of life.

Cardiac Rehab is a Work of Heart - Are You a Well Being? : Are You a Well Being?
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with heart disease or has suffered a heart attack recently, your health problems can be scary, worrisome and even confusing.
But with effort, experts say that you can slow or reverse the damage of heart disease, and even improve other health conditions like diabetes. The answer, they say, is an effective cardiac rehabilitation program and a solid team behind you all the way.
Cardiac rehabilitation is a program designed to help restore and maintain good health while reducing the risk of future heart problems. Cardiac rehab programs involve exercise, education, nutritional guidance and other support as you make key lifestyle changes, but some cardiac rehab programs are more intensive than others.
The Texas Health family of hospitals offers two cardiac rehab programs: a traditional program, and a more intensive program based on the Dr. Ornish Program for Reversing Heart Disease™ and Lifestyle Medicine approach. In fact, Texas Health was the first health system in the state to offer this second program when it was launched by Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital in 2015. A year later, Texas Health Fort Worth launched its program.
Beth Arseneau, Texas Health Arlington Memorial RN Case Manager, works with patients in the intensive cardiac rehab program.
So what's the difference between these two approaches for improving health and preventing future problems? The time commitment, for one. Traditional programs involve 36 sessions lasting approximately 60 minutes each. The focus is on monitored exercise and education on topics related to heart disease. On the other hand, in the intensive cardiac rehab program participants attend two four-hour sessions per week for 9 weeks. Each session includes equal time devoted to 4 key elements: exercise, nutrition, group support and stress management.
In a traditional program, the nutritional emphasis involves healthier choices that include lean cuts of meat. The Ornish program provides resources and support to transition to an eating plan in which all dietary protein is derived from plant-based sources.
Texas Health Arlington Memorial Exercise Physiologists Angela Vizcaino and Halla Ali review an exercise plan with an intensive cardiac rehab patient.
Making changes required by the Ornish program might not be what someone who isn't currently suffering from heart disease wants to commit to. However, Lokhandwala and Rigues said there are still good takeaways from both traditional and intensive cardiac rehab programs for anyone wanting to improve their heart health.
Want to try a meatless dinner? Here's an Ornish-friendly recipe that your family will love!
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium sauté pan over high heat bring onions, chopped peppers, garlic, ¼ tsp of salt and ¼ cup of water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are translucent — about 8 minutes.
2. Add tempeh, corn, 1 cup of the crushed tomatoes, remaining ½ cup of water, oregano, cumin, remaining salt, and smoked paprika. Cook together over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 10-15 minutes, until the mixture is thick and flavors have melded. If necessary, add a little more water to keep mixture from getting too dry. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. Over high heat on a gas stovetop or barbecue grill, lightly char the pasilla peppers one at a time. Turn peppers with tongs every 20-30 seconds for 2 to 2 ½ minutes, until skin is partially blackened. Pepper should be pliable, but still firm enough to hold its shape.
4. Pile the blackened peppers on a small bowl and cover with a plate or lid. Let peppers sit for 10 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.
5. Being careful not to tear the pepper, peel or scrape off the blackened skins. Slice off the stem end, then slice of the attached "seed bundle," discarding the seeds but reserving the stem. Remove any remaining seeds or ribs inside the peppers. Fold ¼ cup cilantro into the cooled tempeh filling. Taste for seasoning and add more smoked paprika if necessary.
6. Spread a thin layer (about ¾ cup) of the remaining tomato sauce on the bottom of a 7×11 inch baking dish. Spoon about ½ cup of the filling into each pepper. Replace the stems. Arrange the filled peppers onto the tomato sauce in the baking dish. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the peppers.
7. Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake until peppers are tender and piping hot, about 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until cheese is golden brown.
8. To serve, spoon tomato sauce at the bottom of the dish over the peppers and sprinkle with remaining chopped cilantro. Serve each pepper with 1 Tbsp. of nonfat sour cream, if desired.

John Barth: LETTERS
Of course, this is an epistolary novel but that's like saying that The Sot-Weed Factor is an eighteenth century romance. Seven people write the letters – Jacob Horner from The End of the Road, Todd Andrews from The Floating Opera, Ambrose Mensch from Lost in the Funhouse, Andrew Burlingame Cook VI, descendant of Henry Burlingame of The Sot-Weed Factor, Jerome Bonaparte Bray, descendant of Harold Bray of Giles Goat-Boy, Germaine Pitt, Lady Amherst, Acting Provost of Marshyhope State University in Maryland and the author himself. Of course, those that appeared in the earlier novels have aged.
But, unlike the epistolary novels of old, these characters, in good pomo fashion, are generally aware they are characters in a novel and not real people. Moreover, while these characters do write to one another, they also write to others – deceased parents, an unborn child, an unknown person who sent a blank message in a bottle. But what we get, emerging in fits and starts, with witty asides, ramblings on what is reality (and what is not), discussions of Barth's earlier novels, including by the characters in them, is another complicated plot, involving the War of 1812, machinations at Marshyhope State University, the filming of a Barth novel, the usual sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll and all sorts of subterfuges, codes and intrigues. The poor characters – and they are both to be pitied and characters, not real people – struggle to find out what it is all about but, as in all Barth's novels, there are no answers, only questions. Is there a code, a meaning, as Barth implies? Does the Burlingame family have the whole country sewn up in its intrigue? Is Mensch the archetypical hero, as he thinks? Will computers, history, bureaucracy save the world as the others believe. Hell, no. Or hell, yes. If you are looking for answers, neither you or the characters will find them here but if you want a riotous run through literature and history, then this is your novel.

Bundy, William
by Mattie Erma E. Parker, 1979
d. 27 Mar. 1692
William Bundy, colonial official, settled in Albemarle in 1663 or 1664. He was a member of the council of the Albemarle colony in 1684 and a justice of Perquimans Precinct Court, 1690–92. He lived in Perquimans Precinct, where he held at least 170 acres of land, granted him in 1669.
Bundy, a devout Quaker, was active in the Perquimans Monthly Meeting. In September 1679 he joined with other settlers of his faith in sending to London a signed "Remonstrance" regarding the current disorders in the colony. In June or July 1680 he and several other Quakers were fined and imprisoned for about six months for refusing to bear arms "in the musterfield."
Bundy was married twice. His first wife, Elizabeth, bore him four children: Mary, Caleb, Samuel, and William, Jr. She died on 4 Mar. 1676/77. Bundy's second wife was Mary Pearce, widow of John Pearce and daughter of Joseph Scott. Their marriage took place on 15 Dec. 1683 and a daughter, Sarah, was born to them.
Bundy's three sons settled in Pasquotank Precinct, where they held adjoining tracts of land. Caleb and Samuel were early members of the Quaker meeting in Pasquotank. Caleb married Jane Manners, daughter of Perigreen and Frances Manners, in 1690. Samuel married Tamer Symons, daughter of Jeremiah Symons, in 1696. No marriage record has been found for William, who died 28 July 1700. Bundy's older daughter, Mary, was married to Timothy Cleare, son of William Cleare, in 1685. She died in 1694, and Cleare subsequently married Hannah Snelling, a widow. Although Bundy's other children had married members of their own faith, his younger daughter, Sarah, married Francis Pettitt of Chowan in 1711; the Perquimans Monthly Meeting declared her "out of union," as her husband was not a Friend.
Bundy's executors were his son Caleb and Timothy Cleare.

I am a direct descendant of William Bundy through his son Samuel, who was born in 1676 in Pasquotank County, NC. I currently live in Tennessee. Many of his descendants through Samuel Bundy settled in the American southwest in the late 1890s. I come from that group.


Let's see … you've been a busy little dude! There is no doubt about that! Crawling – bear crawls are your specialty AND climbing up the stairs in record speed. Plus, you're an eating machine – green beans, bananas, toast and chicken are your current favorites. Quinoa too! With 6 teeth (almost 8) you're all about ripping, chomping and tasting anything and everything. Even things you're not supposed too … like playground bark.
We had an unofficial weigh in the other morning and you tipped the scales at 27 pounds. BUBBA! 27 pounds? No wonder Mama is getting so strong carrying you around. No doubt, in my arms is your favorite place to be. You give me hugs and kisses all day long – I soak up each one and then pull you back to see your smile. Usually followed by a giggle. Then you snuggle your head into my shoulder. LOVE! Sadly, you've also started this awful pinching thing. Your little fingers grip the inside of my arm and it hurts like the dickens! I'm hoping you nix this skill soon. Pretty please?
Right before your 10 month birthday you waved goodbye to your Aunt Hannah as she was leaving the house and on your 10 month birthday you reached up to me from the floor and said "mama"! Yippee! You know me! Before that, your only other word has been "lala" and lots of it. There was a chance you babbled "dada" once or twice but we haven't heard it again.
6-7 am – Max is UP with smiles and grins and no chance at drifting back to sleep.
Playing in the bathroom while I get ready and if Jemma is up she reads you stories. Then breakfast and downstairs playing.
By 10 am you're feeling tired and you nurse to sleep for a nap while Jemma watches a show.
When you wake up we go on a walk or errands, then home for lunch and play before you and Jemma both take naps around 2pm.
Afternoons are all different – sometimes baths or time in the yard or playing while I prepare dinner. We eat between 6-6:30pm when Daddy gets home and you're ready for bed by 7pm. Ha! No wonder you're awake for the day so early!
You are a mama's boy through and through. I absolutely adore it. You cry monster tears after 10 minutes of playing with your friends in church nursery and hug me so big when they page me to come get you. We practice each week so at some point you have fun with your little friends, but for now I'm happy to rescue you whenever you call. The ladies know when Max wants he mama, he wants her NOW. Every once in awhile you stay with your Mimi or aunt so I can go out, but an hour or two is all you can take until you are ready to be in Mama's arms again. Oh Max, you are the best! It's crazy to think that you've been out of me as long as you were in me now. How has this time gone by so fast?
Last week the doctor's office called to schedule your one year wellness appointment. I can hardly fathom it. ONE YEAR OLD! I'm so happy I still have two whole months to snuggle my baby boy before you turn into a toddler.
So many adventures ahead of you my little man. I'm so, super blessed to be your mama. You already make me so proud and bring me so much joy. Eek! Being your mama is just plain fabulous! Love you!
At 8 months you had no interest in smiling.
And at 10 months, every picture I took you were a happy, laughing boy. I liked this photo best because your hair has grown out and you have such adorable sideburns and baby man bangs!
What a cutie! And I love the mustache stickers. So fun!
The pinching kills! I hope it's just a phase!
