The Air Jordan Retro 11 finally launches on May 3rd 2014. Release details and links below.
The Air Jordan Retro 11 Concord Low has been long rumored since Jordan was seen wearing them in the Bulls 1996 Championship parade. They weren't seen again until 2011 when he was caught rocking a pair, but still none for the fans. Late in 2013, someone snapped a photo of the GOAT playing beer pong in a pair and by then we were pretty sure they'd drop soon.
Jordan, the envy of every sneakerhead rocking the Concord Low 3 years prior to their release in 2011.
Finally they're here! The Air Jordan Retro 11 Concord Low will release May 3rd online and in stores.
Foot Locker will hold the usual lottery. Tickets will be given out for the Retro 11 Concord Low Wednesday 4/30 and Thursday 5/1. Winners will have a pair held for them at a local Foot Locker or House Of Hoops.
On 5/3 Nike will release them online and in Niketown stores. The Retro 11 Concord Low release will be delayed until 10 AM EDT presumably to alleviate the server strain they experienced with the Nightshade Low release. This will also give people on the west coast a better chance to cop a pair.
A 3 AM early launch is likely for UK retailer END. You can also expect a 7 AM release for CrookedTongues and Urban Industry.
Finish Line, Jimmy Jazz and Foot Locker sites will release them online at the usual 8 AM EDT.
Cop These Kicks will be posting early links throughout the week to help you get the drop on the cop.

The US is reliant on Russia's Soyuz rockets to send people to space, one of which was forced to make an emergency landing yesterday ©Nasa
Nasa's manned Mars mission $4bn over budget
posted by Francis Churchill
The cost of a Nasa project to send a manned rocket to Mars is expected to double because of supplier failures and poor contract management, an audit has said.
In 2012 Nasa commissioned Boeing to build a heavy-lift rocket that could be used to send a manned mission to Mars, with the first crewed mission projected to launch in 2021. The contract was to deliver a two-stage rocket with a third exploration upper stage (EUS), where the crew would reside.
But an audit report by the Office of Inspector General said Nasa's space launch system [SLS] programme was expected to spend $8.9bn by 2021, twice the initial expected outlay, without delivery of any of the three stages.
It added delivery of the first core stage has slipped two-and-a-half years to 2019 that the first crewed launch was not now expected until mid 2022.
"With $5.3bn expended as of August 2018 out of $6.2bn allocated for the Boeing Stages contract, Nasa expects Boeing to reach the contract's value by early 2019 – nearly three years before the contract is supposed to end – without final delivery of a single core stage or EUS," it said.
"As a result, the SLS programme will require a major increase in funding and renegotiation of the Boeing Stages contract to meet current launch readiness dates."
The report placed blame on both Nasa and Boeing.
It said Nasa had "several poor contract management practices" that contributed to cost overruns and delays. Nasa "lacked visibility" over spend because, contrary to federal guidance, all three key stages of the rocket contract were managed under the same contract number.
The report criticised Nasa's evaluation of Boeing's performance, which led to "overly generous award fees". "Considering the SLS Program's cost overages and schedule delays, we question nearly $64 million of the award fees already provided to Boeing," it said.
Contracting officers also approved contract modifications and issued task orders without proper authority, exposing the agency to $321.7m in unauthorised commitments. Most of these will require follow-up contract changes, it said.
On Boeing's part, the report said the firm spent more than $600m above what was originally planned for the two core stages, and in the 2018 financial year alone Nasa spent $226m more than planned. It said cost increases and delays could be "traced largely to management, technical and infrastructure issues driven by Boeing's poor performance".
It said Boeing "consistently underestimated" the scope of work required and the size and skill of the workforce needed to complete the work. In all the two core stages are expected to be delivered two-and-a-half years late and $4bn over budget.
"Based on Boeing's current expenditure rate, Nasa will need to increase the contract value by approximately $800 million to complete the first core stage for delivery to the Kennedy Space Center in December 2019," the report said. Another $400m would need to be added to the contract for the first unmanned launch to happen in 2020.
The performance of Boeing and other defence contractors has also led the Department of Defence (DoD) to launch an audit of its aerospace and defence supply chain, it has been reported.
Ellen Lord, the Pentagon's chief weapons buyer, has said the audit would be launched after a White House commissioned report revealed a number of risks facing the sector including reliance on foreign suppliers and a shortage of workers domestically, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Boeing, one of the US's largest defence contractors by value, has been having issues with its commercial supply chain that has left a number of partly finished planes parked outside a factory awaiting parts.
Neither Nasa nor Boeing have responded to a request for comment.
Separately, the US Air Force has awarded three contracts for prototype rockets capable of launching into space. The contracts were awarded to Blue Origin – owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos – Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems, and United Launch Alliance.
Each company is developing its own launch system. The projects aim to ensure the US has access to space through two domestic operators without relying on a non-allied country.
Currently the US has no domestic vehicle capable of taking crew into space, and is reliant on Russia's Soyuz rocket. One such rocket was forced to make an emergency landing yesterday after it malfunctioned. Both astronauts were unharmed.

The National Retail Federation issued the following statement from President and CEO Matthew Shay on President Donald Trump's State of the Union address.
"Retailers agree that the state of the U.S. economy is sound and expect American consumers to continue to drive growth in the year ahead. Our top priority is for Congress to focus on areas of common ground in order to keep the economy moving forward.
"Rebuilding the nation's crumbling infrastructure, modernizing North American trade, advancing commonsense immigration reform, protecting consumer privacy, fostering innovation and promoting workforce development are all areas where Republicans and Democrats can reach across the aisle and get things done — while keeping the government's lights on.
"We commend the president for his efforts to restore balanced trade relationships, and we hope the U.S. and China will continue to move toward a deal and avoid further escalation. Achieving structural reforms, ending existing tariffs and putting an end to the trade war would provide much-needed certainty and relief for American businesses and families. We encourage the administration to continue to focus on the end goal, and for Congress to restore rather than further neglect its role in trade policy.
"The state of the union is indeed strong, and we have an opportunity to make it even stronger. Let's take it.�

The Vamps send fans into a frenzy in Harrogate
Photo Copyright © Jo Forrest
I am not sure Harrogate's Convention Centre had experienced anything like The Vamps playing there before, 1800 adoring fans packed into the lovely venue to see their idols. For the first time they played a fully seated venue, so I wasn't entirely sure how it was going to work, with such a low stage and a couple of thousand screaming fans who looked ready to surge and any given moment, there was no need to worry though they were very well behaved. However before we even got that far supporting The Vamps on tour were no less than 5 support acts, Taylor Grey, Denis and New Hope Club who have just announced there own headline tour starting later in the year, along with a couple of others.
Having been together since 2011 and then hitting the big time on Youtube in 2012 the lads seem to have been on one huge never ending tour during which they always play the regular festivals too.. I have no idea where they get their energy from but it can't be easy travelling constantly. The biggest noteworthy event of the night was the lack of Connor Ball, who apparently had injured his arm so was having to take some time out. He did make a brief appearance in song nine to sing the lead vocals on 'Wave' with his arm in a sling.
Brad is constantly bouncing around the stage with a seemingly never ending abundant amount of energy as the band play their way through an impressive 19 song set list. Probably not enough for the adoring fans who sang and danced the night away but still pretty good for a band that is always on tour and don't have a huge back catalogue of hits. You may not be their biggest fan but they know how to put on a good show, and they don't sell their tickets at over inflated prices, giving some lucky fans the chance to bag themselves some tickets for just £12.50 each. Even the VIP tickets are considerable less than any other big band.
The Vamps are playing all across the UK before heading over to Japan in August.

Western Canada takes over country's potato production
Manitoba and Alberta were the number one and two potato-producing provinces in 2020, thanks in large part to hot weather and poor yields in Prince Edward Island. Statistics Canada data, released in early December, said nationwide potato production was 104.2 million hundredweight, down 1.3 percent from 2019.
Robert Arnason reports for The Western Producer that the data also shows a massive yield gap of 100 to 150 cwt. per acre between the Maritimes and Western Canada.
On the Prairies, growers had a relatively easy harvest and produced average to above average yields this year. In the Maritimes, yields were horrible and production dropped 14 to 30 percent. Growers in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick averaged 250 cwt. and 237 cwt. per acre, respectively. That's well below historical averages of 290 and 305 cwt. for the two provinces.
Hot and dry conditions hit potato growers hard In P.E.I. and New Brunswick, who grow spuds without irrigation. In late August, CTV News reported that some parts of P.E.I. received 15 percent of normal rainfall this summer.
Total production in Manitoba was 24 million cwt., up nearly 22 percent from 2019. The average yield in Manitoba was 337 cwt. per acre, down a bit because of hot and dry conditions.

I'd heard that the wire mesh Hidden Mickey (in the shrimp tube on Living with the Land) could be moved around at times. For the last few years, it sat in a tube along the right side of your boat, but recently I spotted the mesh Mickey on the left side. So, be sure and scan both sides of your boat for this great Hidden Mickey!
During the holiday season, the large Mickey vine frame along Living with the Land morphed into Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!
In the Germany Pavilion, Disney landscapers usually try to maintain a bush in the outdoor miniature train exhibit to resemble a classic Mickey. I haven't seen such a bush in a few months, but thankfully one or two Mickey-shaped bushes have reappeared!
In the American Adventure show, I'm pretty sure I've seen classic Mickeys in the fireworks at the end of the show, but I haven't been able to capture one in a photo. I tried again recently, and I feel I'm getting closer. What do you think about this one? A sideways Hidden Mickey tilted to the right?


Get my free motivational newsletter full of tips on living a happier, healthier life!
I help people optimise their minds and bodies so they can realise their potential so as to live happier, healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Over the last 18 months I have optimised almost 10,000 lives.
Whether you're an athlete, an entrepreneur, work-at-home mum, someone suffering from low mood or an individual just looking to optimise their mind and body, my systems apply.
Read here some of those transformations that have come about through the utilisation of my science and wisdom based systems.
There is a specific path to realising one's potential, particular things you can do to great effect that help you become the best version of yourself.
The greatest shifts though are experienced by mastering what I call the fundamentals of optimisation.
Mind and body are interconnected. Our experience of the world is dictated by the internal state of our mind. It governs a large portion of our wellbeing, our stress levels and our ability to find peace.
The average adult sits for nearly 10 hours a day. A sedentary lifestyle is dangerous for our health. Movement, fitness and flexibility challenge the mainstream passivity and put us on the path to health.
Personalised diets informed by in-depth analysis of ourselves are the way to lasting health. There are too many over-generalised assumptions and generic diet plans that preach a false "one-size-fits-all" approach.
Technological advances and attachment to our devices mean that our sleeping patterns have changed more in the last 150 years than in the last 150,000, from 10 hours a night to just 6.2. Sleep is fundamental part of great health and essential in maximising our potential.
Know your strengths and build on them to become the best version of yourself.


What is a phobia, exactly? It's basically an unreasonably strong fear of something.
A phobia can be a major source of stress and can be found in children and adults alike. Many adult phobias involve illness, flying, social situations, or insects. Children share some of these phobias, but they are also very vulnerable to a fear of animals.
A pet phobias in a child can develop naturally or after a bad experience with an animal. For example, if a child pulls a dog's tail without realizing it will upset the dog, the animal will probably respond negatively. Being snapped at, snarled at, or even bitten by an animal can be traumatic for anyone, especially a child.
This frightening experience can cause the child to fear all dogs or even all pets, in general.
Concerned parents who want their children to feel comfortable around pets do have options, though. There are many ways a therapist or even an animal behavior specialist can help a child get over his or her fear of pets.
Alicia Offringa, a pet expert, discusses some practical ways to teach a child not to fear pets.

Looking for Something to Read? (Brief Book Reviews)
Every two to three weeks I write a full-length book review, but for only a fraction of the books I actually read. From time to time I like to provide miniature reviews of some of the others. If you are looking for some reading suggestions, here are notes about some of the books I've read recently.
Leadership in War: Essential Lessons from Those Who Made History by Andrew Roberts. Albert Mohler recommended this book on his blog. I promptly bought it as a Christmas gift for my son, then took it and read it myself. He didn't seem to mind. Leadership in War features a collection of essays on leaders who proved themselves in times of conflict. The subjects range from Napoleon to Stalin to Thatcher and each one of them is interesting in its own way. I think I especially enjoyed the chapter on Charles de Gaulle which focused on his mammoth ego and how that somehow worked for the good of France as it attempted to recover from a devastating war. The chapter on Nelson has compelled me to read a biography on him, since he seems like a fascinating individual. The book, and each chapter, are just the right length. (Amazon)
Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Explain Everything About the World by Tim Marshall. In this book, Tim Marshall uses geography to explain why the world is the way it is. He shows how many of the world's most pressing conflicts are inexorably related to geography, and makes rather a compelling case for it. That aside, his book is a great resource for better understanding the world and some of its perennial (and future) hotspots. If you don't know why Russia is obsessed with the Crimea, why Tibet has seen so many Chinese settlers, and why India and Pakistan remain in a perpetual state of near-war, Marshall will fill you in.

1984 by George Orwell. Every few years people seem to insist anew that now, at this time, and in this context, Orwell's vision is finally being realized. Strangely, the claim is often made simultaneously by people on both sides of an ideological divide. Today people on both the left and the right are accusing the other side of being Orwellian. Orwell's book is best read historically as a critique of his time, not our own. Yet it's undeniable that there are some serious comparisons to be made to the year 2020. Do note that he describes some sexual situations (which, in their own way, are key to the story he tells). (Amazon)
Animal Farm by George Orwell. Having read 1984 (for what was probably the fifth time) I decided to also re-read Animal Farm which I first read as a young child. While Animal Farm doesn't resonate in the present quite as much as 1984, it is still a valuable and interesting read. It shows that Orwell really had a gift for discussing current events through story. In fact, it makes me wonder why we don't see more of that kind of book today. Then again, as socialism seems to find a resurgence here at the dawn of a new decade, maybe these books are all we need to get us thinking about the dangers of totalitarianism and the impossibility of full-out socialism in which inevitably "all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others." (Amazon)
The Faith of Queen Elizabeth: The Poise, Grace, and Quiet Strength Behind the Crown by Dudley Delffs. Undoubtedly written to coincide with increased interest in Queen Elizabeth due to the Netflix series The Crown, this book was a significant disappointment to me. While it could have been an interesting examination of the nature of the Queen's Christian faith, it was instead a kind of unfocused biography that touched lightly on spiritual themes. If you have wondered what the Queen believes and whether or not she is a Christian, you won't come much closer to answers by reading this book. That's not to say it has no value, but that it just doesn't deal in a compelling way with the subject matter. You'd be far better off reading Elizabeth the Queen: The Life of a Modern Monarch by Sally Bedell Smith (though even then you won't come much closer to getting answers to those faith questions). (Amazon)
King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa by Adam Hochschild. You've probably heard of this book and the horrors it contains as it describes the brutal Belgian conquest of the Congo. It is every bit as awful and difficult to read as you'd expect. But it an important book in helping assess and understand the current state of the Congo and other African nations—all those cultures that were colonized and pillaged by European powers. You can't read this and fail to come away with a deepened sense of the depravity that dwells in the heart of each and every human being. (Amazon)
The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity by Douglas Murray. I decided to read this one after seeing it mentioned on several favorite websites and having it personally recommended by a favorite theologian. I'll be lazy and just share Kevin DeYoung's review which echoes my own: "The fact that Murray is a gay atheist helps and hurts the book. On the one hand, it's nice to see Murray sympathize with conservative Christianity and make the sorts of points many Christians would make. On the other hand, there is no doubt Murray is missing out on all sorts of resources and ideas for understanding human nature, sex, and forgiveness. Murray is at his best when he argues that our Western culture is asking for impossibilities. We must believe that women have a right to be sexy without being sexualized, that race doesn't exist and that race defines everything, that Caitlyn Jenner is a woman but Rachel Dolezal is not black. His argument that people are much less oppressed than they think is bound to be controversial. But he makes a good point that the more comfortable most people are, the more suffering carries rhetorical (and real) power." (Amazon)
The Ship of Dreams: The Sinking of the Titanic and the End of the Edwardian Era by Gareth Russell. We certainly suffer no shortage of books on the brief history of Titanic. Where Russell's book differs from others is that he focuses on the ship's sinking as not just a terrible disaster, but a disaster of such horror and magnitude that we can actually set it as marking the end of an era—the end of the Edwardian period of history. He tells Titanic's story by focusing on a few of her most interesting passengers and does so well. Whether this is the first or tenth book you've read on the sinking of the great ship, I think you'll enjoy The Ship of Dreams. (Amazon)
Rebel Mother: My Childhood Chasing the Revolution by Peter Andreas. I found this one recommended by a Christian blog I frequent. It tells the strange and uncomfortable story of Peter Andreas, who was raised by his mother, an American Marxist and revolutionary, as she led her son around North and South America in the hopes of joining in the great and final revolution. While she was not abusive per se, she certainly treated her son in a horrendous fashion, exposing him not only to her unconscionable ideology, but also to her radical feminism and unending promiscuity. In its own way, it shows that a true socialist revolutionary must be eager to demand not only the downfall of capitalism, but also of the nuclear family and anything that smacks of Christianity. It also shows that a true revolutionary must welcome violence as the only way to overthrow the old and usher in the new. (Note: There is a fair amount of bad language as the author describes conversations he overheard and participated in.) (Kindle)

Q: constexpr and mutable member and implicit copy-ctor The following code compiles in clang 7+, but not in 5 & 6 (with c++17 and c++14).
The problem for clang 5 and 6 seems to be that the implicit copy ctor reads from the mutable member x.
Can anybody tell me, if the whole construction is standard-compliant (c++17), or if the program is ill-formed? Or was there a change in the standard regarding the implicit copy-ctor which might not be implemented in the earlier clang versions?
struct Foo {

    int a;
    mutable int x{};

    constexpr Foo() : a(0) {}

    //constexpr Foo(const Foo& other) : a(other.a) {} // <- with this line it works on Clang 5 & 6, too
};

struct FooFactory {

    static constexpr auto create() {
        auto f = Foo{};
        return f;
    }
};

int main() {

    constexpr Foo f = FooFactory::create();
    ++f.x;
}

Live code here.

A: This is a well-formed C++17 program.  A constexpr function can of course read (and write) non-constant variables:
constexpr int f(int i) {
  int j=i;
  ++j;
  return i+j;  // neither is a constant expression
}

The rule is that anything examined in a constant expression must either be a constant or have its lifetime begun during the expression's evaluation.  In your case, the lifetime of create's f.x plainly begins within the evaluation of the constant expression that is the initialization of main's f.  It is true, however, that no Foo object can be copied by a constant expression that does not also create that object, whether or not it is constexpr.
The only other candidate problem is if the copy constructor were not constexpr, but those requirements are very weak.  The only relevant ones are that every (non-variant) member be initialized, which is certainly satisfied, and that it be usable in at least one constant expression, which has been demonstrated.

A: The code is ill-formed. For the reference, here is simplified code, which fails on all compilers:
struct Foo {
    int a;
    mutable int x{};
    constexpr Foo() : a(0) {}

};

int main() {
    constexpr Foo f;
    constexpr Foo f1 = f;
}

As per [expr.const] 7.7,

A variable is usable in constant expressions after its initializing
  declaration is encountered if
  it is a constexpr variable,
or ...  (3.5) a non-mutable
  subobject or reference member of any of the above.

This disqualifies default copy constructors.

Two, The Number of Superyacht Moorings Available in Port Adriano.. And The Impeding Mooring Crisis..
|In Moorings
|By Christopher Maitland-Walker
Market Report – The tipping point has been reached with another 218 Yachts over 30m being launched within the next year and a fixed supply of mooring spaces prices surge as availability falls.
A friend was asked by the Captain of his Sister-Ship for a mooring for his 37m Heesen, not only were the Winter storms approaching but the major shipyards were completely booked for the Winter period, STP one of the premier shipyards in Europe with a 1000 Ton Travel lift was fully booked until March.. With all the Superyacht moorings in Mallorca fully booked for the Winter the 37m had to Stay on Anchor for 3 weeks before her lift slot came available at one of Palma's shipyards could provide safe harbour. This is not the only story, I was contacted recently by the Captain of a 20m New build Sunreef Catamaran who needed a mooring for a few weeks who wasn't able to locate one and had to take the risky option of being on anchor during the winter period. In the end the owner decided to take a yacht delivery services to the Caribbean where they currently found safe harbour.
Mallorca, Ibiza & the Balearics have become such a treasure and enjoyable place to Boat that there is increasingly limited availability for both long term and short term mooring spaces of all sizes on these Islands. During the winter periods there is now also limited shipyard availability, this trend is simply set to continue with another 218 (in Build) Boats which are currently registered for launch in 2019 of a size greater than 30m and another 200+ in build for delivery in 2020 the scarcity of Balearic moorings will only intensify.
Mallorca and the wider Balearics has become one of the most sought after and attractive cruising grounds, the number of charter companies and boat clubs are growing each year, being within easy reach of all of Europe's Major Cities, circa 2 hours from London, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, Zurich, Rome.. The Balearic offer a quick escape from the metropolis and provide sheer beauty in the deep Blue Mediterranean Sea and world renowned beaches, it is the perfect location to keep your Superyacht. Ibiza, Formentera, Mallorca and Menorca each have a unique habitat and between them literally thousands of beautiful beaches and bays to anchor and soak in the Mediterranean sun, crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches it´s hard to resist the call for another spot of Tapas & a caña.
Mallorca also has the added luxury of Unesco World heritage sites in the Serra de Tramuntana mountains which have attracted celebrities such as the adventure seeking Richard Branson, movie stars such as Michael Douglas and have been playgrounds to divergent talents from Frédéric François Chopin to Pablo Picasso.
The attractions of the Balearics has filtered down to the waiting list of the Marinas which currently have a waiting list of over 4000 boatsmen.. With shipyard at full capacity and hundreds of new boats entering the territory each year our advice would be to secure your mooring sooner rather than later. Securing a mooring comes with a number of advantages.
This Shipyard period in Mallorca has been one of the busiest with Mallorca's shipyards being fully booked for the period the 2018/2019 season. STP´s 1000 Ton travel lift is capable of lifting some of the largest private vessels in the Mediterranean. Mallorca has a professional set of Marine Service, Refit and Yacht brokerage specialists for both Sail and Motor yachts, with some of the best craftsmen in the Mediterranean it´s easy to see why we are the first port of call for many Superyacht Refits, Palma is also the first choice for professional captains for the safety of her marinas and professional service of the Marine companies based here.
Avoid the risk and recent fate of 32m Sailing Yacht Sila Sibiri which was without a mooring during recent storms in Mallorca and was blown into the rocks which look towards the iconic Palma Cathedral. We highly recommend avoiding this dire position and securing your long term mooring. Under current market trends, you will be in a highly favorable position by securing a mooring today and protecting against future market and environmental forces.
32m Sailing Yacht Sila Sibiri on the Rocks
One of the safest Ports in the Mediterranean, Port Adriano currently offers great value, with Moorings capable of holding 100m Yachts, and 260 ton travel lift, the Marina is extremely popular with a fun calendar of events including Live concerts. The Superyacht Port was superbly designed by Philippe Starck the legendary designer behind a few of the most Iconic Superyachts of our time including Motor Yacht Venus & Sailing Yacht A. Marlin Marine Services are in the favourable position to have not just one Superyacht Mooring for sale but are able to offer 2, a 45m Mooring as well as a 40m Mooring in Port Adriano Mallorca, Prices are available upon request contact. The moment of full capacity has almost been reached the point of no availability is almost upon us contact Marlin Marine while there is still time.

"I once was raised, but now I've found" featuring Drew GI Hart

Today continues with the series, "I once was raised… but now I've found…" where some of my favorite authors, bloggers, scholars, and theologians explain the transitions they have encountered along their own faith journey. As the series continues, you'll find me interviewing the guest bloggers below, as they answer questions I've posed about their experiences.
My interview with Drew proved to be too intense and too important to try and cram into one long blog post, so I'll be posting part II in the near future. I hope you enjoy it, and learn from them as much as I have.
"I once was raised African American Evangelical, but now I've found Jesus through the Black Prophetic Church tradition and Anabaptism."–Drew G.I. Hart
Tyler- Evangelical is a word thrown around a lot in the media and in Christian circles. One rarely hears the phrase "African American Evangelical"–can you share what makes African American Evangelicalism and what its like being raised in that environment?
Great question, although in reality, I think people are probably a lot more familiar with what I call 'African American Evangelicalism' than they realize. However, I will start with a definition before I go there. As I see it, African American Evangelicalism is the by-product of Evangelical theology and African American experience blending together. So, in this sense, African American Evangelicalism would not be an exact duplicate of most dominant cultural expressions of evangelicalism. And yet still, they are closely related. Most African Americans share a lot in common theologically with evangelicals already, which is no surprise given that Black faith at the core is significantly shaped by the reinterpretation of white southern Baptist and southern Methodist traditions, in which Africans converted to in mass in the midst of slavery.
The language of 'personal faith in Jesus', 'personal savior', 'accepting Jesus into your heart', and other personal pietistic phrases unveil some of the commonalities shared in both communities. It has also inherited doctrines like substitutionary atonement, some hymns, and at times even a few worship songs. Along with those things, they both have a similar "canon within the canon" of Scripture that shapes their theology and biblical interpretation. For example, for most evangelicals in dominant culture, the Gospel of John is preferred over the Synoptics, and likewise Paul's letters are preferred over the other Gospel accounts when seeking to understand who Jesus is (along with the creeds). Of course, if you suggested this to many AAEs, they would be repulsed and deny it, but this is nonetheless the operative methodology in most of these communities.
African American Evangelicals are likely to learn things like the Romans Road, as well as to think of the gospel as a sales pitch for heaven rather than being the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus and his in-breaking Kingdom. While they often believe in social "outreach" as important, they also tend to see those things as separate and distinct realities than evangelism and "saving souls". (Please excuse my over-generalizations, because certainly many of these points would be fiercely challenged by some African American Evangelicals, but I think it is a fair depiction of the core tradition for the past few decades).
However, African American Evangelicals also interpret evangelical theology through the grid of the African American experience (although many wouldn't own up to it verbally, because most also believe we are supposed to be objective and speak the universal truth of the Bible void of cultural influence and one's own experience). But you ultimately cannot step outside of the cultural and historical situated place and time that you find yourself in. One's experience of racial discrimination and marginalization will inevitably shape your faith and religion. Nonetheless, the orally 'gifted' reality that is common in many African Americans has created a tradition that has carried a surplus of wisdom within African American Evangelical communities. Contemporary gospel music, spirituals, and traditional African American hymns are important in the worship life of AAE churches. This binds them (at least in part) in the Black Church tradition in America. Sometimes watered down, but call and response, and a degree of charismatic worship are common in AAE churches. I've always thought that AAE churches are very similar to Black Baptist churches and often those are the churches that AAE churches fellowship with most. Many that have grown up in Black Baptist churches transition into AAE churches effortlessly. In essence, AAE churches usually have one foot in the Black Church tradition while another being influenced by the larger evangelical theological frameworks, categories, trends, and because of this, there are often relationships across the racial divide that exist.
I could go on and on about what makes an AAE tradition both similar and distinct to the larger evangelical world. But, as stated earlier, most white evangelicals are primarily familiar with African American Evangelical Christians (more than they realize) rather than with those that have been raised in more historic African American traditions like AME, COGIC, or Black Baptist communities. Most African Americans who are AAE do not associate under the label 'evangelical' in the same way as many white evangelicals often have. But they are around. Consider popular Christian leaders like Tony Evans, who probably is the epitome of African American Evangelicalism, and certainly is a prominent leader. Now the last couple of paragraphs might seem solely negative, but I do not intend to be. There have been lots of great prophetic voices that have come out of the AAE church. Just take John Perkins, Lisa Sharon-Harper, Brenda Salter-McNeil, or the late Tom Skinner. Each of these people are African American Evangelicals. Even Tony Evans has a few books that are specifically on the topic of race and racism. The best African American Evangelicals to tackle these issues, like Tom Skinner for example, have embraced their African American heritage and experience, seeing it as a strength, and have made evangelical theology do things it was never intended to do. And it is these prophetic African American Evangelicals that have continued to deeply shape my faith.
Tyler- Post-home life seems to be a major opportunity for growth in the life of the one who is leaving home. I know its true for my college experience, and it seems to be for yours as well. What was it like leaving home and growing out of your comfort zone while you were at Messiah College?
I will only share briefly on this, but a much fuller detailing of my time at Messiah is going to be featured at Christena Cleveland's blog in the near future (www.christenacleveland.com). But in short, Messiah College was a significant time for me to get out on my own, to wrestle and struggle over what I believed, and to begin to find my own voice. Living on a Christian campus as a young black male was not easy. It was a huge culture shock for me, while I was also coming to terms with the racial marginalization that was going on there. In short, I experienced more racial prejudice from white Christian students on campus than I had ever previously with white non-Christians. However, at the same time that I was wrestling over the meaning of the unexpected, subtle, yet ever present racial hostility that I encountered from many (not all) students,
I was also being challenged in my faith. I was a Biblical Studies major, and I was having my paradigm completely shattered. In fact, it was here at Messiah College, which developed historically out of the Brethren in Christ Church, that I first learned about Anabaptists (though I had not adopted such terms for myself while I was there). I was forced to a place where I had to wrestle with scripture and how so many had interpreted it in so many different ways. It was during my junior year, when I believe the Spirit helped me 'see'. It was at that point that I began quickly jotting down notes and scriptural references, working out a theology of scriptural interpretation through the lens of Jesus' life and teachings. This, coupled with my program's emphasis on historical contextualization of scripture, helped me see how reconciliation, justice, and peace, were integral theological categories that ought to form the present faithfulness of the Church and its eschatological vision for the future. I like to think that the seeds of Anabaptism took root at this time.
Stay tuned for Part II of my interview with Drew GI Hart, where he discusses how his journey towards the historic Black prophetic movement came crashing into his new discovery of Anabaptist theology and experience. Here he deals with the synthesis of two seemingly separate, but closer than imagined histories of oppression and why they need each other.

Mishaps and Minisforum Mayhem
Yesterday was not a happy day!
At the end of April (the 23rd, to be precise), I took delivery of the small form factor PC you see at the left. It's a "Minisforum UM250" and comes with 16GB RAM, a 512GB M2-SSD hard drive and an AMD Ryzen 8-core processor. It is my first brush with an AMD Ryzen processor, which I've been keen to get my hands on for quite some time... so I was pretty excited. I was concerned at how noisy a small form factor PC might be: the thermals in such a small space are not great, and my intention was to use this as my main music-playing PC, so quietness is quite important. A review I read on Ars Technica suggested the sound levels were acceptable, so I bit, paid up, and took delivery the very next day.
Since it uses a quite old Ryzen processor (a Zen+, from about 2 years ago), it was relatively cheap: but the build quality is excellent and I have zero complaints on that score. Accessibility is fantastic, too: a simple press-down on two corners of the top lid makes it pop-up and easily removed thereafter. It was accordingly a doddle to install an extra 1TB SSD as a data drive. The PC ships with Windows 10 Pro, but it was simple enough to wipe that and install Arch, which worked flawlessly. One minor annoyance: the PC does not ship with any installation media, and no obvious way of getting any (though the Minisforum website eventually turned up a download page which seemed to have the OS and appropriate drivers: downloading 10GB of the stuff was not a walk in the park, though, and the lack of any physical installation media was frustrating).
I found the fan noise mostly acceptable: it was a whoosh rather than a whine, so although it was quite frequent in coming on and turning off, it wasn't dreadful. I did try to tweak the fan settings in BIOS to make it ramp up and down less frequently, but that didn't seem to help much. The PC also ships with a VESA mount, so you can hang it behind your large-screen TV (I use a 44" one as a PC monitor!), but this turned out to be a bad idea: the back of a large LCD TV gets quite hot, so hanging the new PC next to that source of heat made the fans turn on seemingly for ever, and the noise became quite intrusive (it might be OK for a home theatre setup -you tend not to sit 3 feet away from the TV in those situations!) I ended up dismounting it, anyway.
And things were fine, and my old PC became a new server in the loft, and life seemed good. Until Arch crashed. Repeatedly. And corrupted the ext4 file system in its last crash whilst it was at it, to the point where I had to do a manual fsck and the lost+found folder started filling up with stuff, representing data that was being mangled in the process. So I wondered whether it was just Arch and me (I'm still fairly new to KDE+Arch installs), and so re-installed from scratch, this time using Manjaro. And things were fine, until it crashed about a day later. It repeated the crash about an hour later. A third 'outage' occurred shortly afterwards. This time, though, it didn't actually crash, but instead just left the screen looking a blank, dull green. So you couldn't see anything on the monitor, and music would continue playing that had been started before the graphical glitch... but the machine was still basically unusable. So, I rebooted forcefully with the aid of the power switch, and the thing came back up displaying a KDE desktop properly once more. Until it repeated the green-screen manoeuvre just minutes later. Naturally, I did some research: it might have been the HDMI cable wasn't great. So I swapped cables. It didn't help. Maybe the machine was overheating? So I reverted to standard fan speeds in the BIOS. That didn't help either. Finally, I thought that maybe installing proper, proprietary AMD graphics drivers would help, and thus ventured into the KDE hardware configuration screen, where you can install new graphics (and other hardware) drivers with mere mouse-clicks.
On my first installation attempt, the PC green-screened once more half-way through, so I forced a reboot once more and tried again. The second time worked fine: the drivers installed correctly and no green-screens occurred during the installation. Naturally, I rebooted after the installation, to make sure the new drivers kicked in properly... and the PC merely booted to a command prompt in response. A bit of poking around with journalctl revealed that the PC was now unable to start an X server correctly. I removed the drivers I added: same result. I variously tweaked, twiddled and fiddled as best I could for several hours (most of yesterday, in fact)... and still I was firmly stuck at the command prompt after each reboot.
So at this point, 10 days after acquiring the PC, it had crashed about half-a-dozen times (which is about 5 times more than my old PC ever did, no matter what operating system it was running, in lord knows how many years of running it); it made quite a lot of fan noise; it couldn't be discretely VESA-mounted behind the monitor, because that just made the thermals worse and the fan noise still noisier; I'd corrupted a file system (for about the first time in 20 years); and I'd managed to bork a graphics sub-system (which is also not something I've done in the past dozen years or so). I was, accordingly, a bit annoyed at the situation. Now, I realise that Manjaro is just Arch with knobs on, so maybe expecting the PC to behave better in the presence of the one rather than the other was a bit unrealistic. A better option might have been to try a completely not-Arch distro, such as Ubuntu or Fedora (both of which have brand new versions out, by the way). But I was frankly tired of fiddling.
I retrieved my old PC from the loft, and am happily using that again. The new Minisforum PC is just sitting on my desk, silent (because unplugged!), yet somehow almost taunting me with glee, "Well, that was a waste of £500, wasn't it?!"
I am naturally disappointed and regretful: I can't send the PC back, because it's actually functioning. It just doesn't function as quietly as I'd like, nor (apparently) with the operating system I'd like to use. So it's something of a sunk cost, and has not been a pleasurable experience as my first taste of the Ryzen ecosystem. But, for now, it's back to the 2012-vintage Xeon. At least that doesn't crash, green-screen or lose files! I shall probably re-install Windows on the Minisforum micro PC, because I assume the driver situation is a sorted issue there; but I have no use for such a hardware/OS combo, and therefore no matter which way you look at it, I've wasted my money.

Apostles of Disunion
Southern Secession Commissioners and the Causes of the Civil War
Charles B. Dew
Mar 2002 144 pages ISBN: 9780813921884
In late 1860 and early 1861, state-appointed commissioners traveled the length and breadth of the slave South carrying a fervent message in pursuit of a clear goal: to persuade the political leadership and the citizenry of the uncommitted slave states to join in the effort to destroy the Union and forge a new Southern nation.
Directly refuting the neo-Confederate contention that slavery was neither the reason for secession nor the catalyst for the resulting onset of hostilities in 1861, Charles B. Dew finds in the commissioners' brutally candid rhetoric a stark white supremacist ideology that proves the contrary. The commissioners included in their speeches a constitutional justification for secession, to be sure, and they pointed to a number of political "outrages" committed by the North in the decades prior to Lincoln's election. But the core of their argument—the reason the right of secession had to be invoked and invoked immediately—did not turn on matters of constitutional interpretation or political principle. Over and over again, the commissioners returned to the same point: that Lincoln's election signaled an unequivocal commitment on the part of the North to destroy slavery and that emancipation would plunge the South into a racial nightmare.
Dew's discovery and study of the highly illuminating public letters and speeches of these apostles of disunion—often relatively obscure men sent out to convert the unconverted to the secessionist cause--have led him to suggest that the arguments the commissioners presented provide us with the best evidence we have of the motives behind the secession of the lower South in 1860–61.
Addressing topics still hotly debated among historians and the public at large more than a century after the Civil War, Dew challenges many current perceptions of the causes of the conflict. He offers a compelling and clearly substantiated argument that slavery and race were absolutely critical factors in the outbreak of war—indeed, that they were at the heart of our great national crisis.

The Quest for Anna Klein
By: Thomas H. Cook
Buy Paperback Now
"Nobody tells a story better than Thomas H. Cook." —Michael ConnellyON THE EVE OF WORLD WAR II, A HIGH STAKES INTERNATIONAL PLOT LEADS TO A DEADLY OBSESSIONThomas Danforth has lived a fortunate life. The son of a wealthy importer, he wandered the globe in his youth, and now, in his twenties, he lives in New York City and runs the family business. It is 1939 and the world is on the brink of war, but his life is untroubled, his future assured. Then, on a snowy evening walk along Gramercy Park, a friend makes a fateful request—and involves Thomas in a dangerous idea that could change the fates of millions. Danforth is to provide access to his secluded Connecticut mansion, where a mysterious woman will receive training in firearms and explosives. Thus begins an international plot carried out by the strange and alluring Anna Klein—a plot that will ensnare Thomas in more ways than one. When it all goes wrong and Anna disappears, his quest across a war torn world begins…
Carton Quantity: 24
THOMAS H. COOK was born in Fort Payne, Alabama. He has been nominated for Edgar Awards seven times in five different categories. He received the Best Novel Edgar, the Barry for Best Novel, and has been nominated for numerous other awards.
"Edgar-nominee Cook (The Last Talk with Lola Faye, 2010, etc.) plays the spy game in this mystery adventure.
Soon after 9/11, Paul Crane, a young think-tank researcher, interviews Thomas Danforth, an elderly New York City resident who believes he has information relevant to defending America against fanatics. Danforth wants the meeting because Crane wrote an article demanding a revenge-filled response to 9/11. Crane is skeptical, but Danforth unfolds a tale that begins in 1939, when he ran his father's import business. With the war imminent, Danforth was lured into an anti-Nazi conspiracy by his college friend, Robert Clayton. Other characters enter, including Ted Bannion, a disillusioned Spanish Civil War loyalist, and Anna Klein, a mysterious and beautiful young linguist. Captivated by Anna, Danforth accompanies her to Europe, where, with Bannion's help, she intends to organize Spanish Loyalists interned in France into an anti-Nazi force. That scheme fails. The three then decide Danforth will pose as an art dealer seeking Hitler's paintings. The plan is assassination, but the Gestapo intervenes. Bannion takes cyanide. Klein, by now the object of Danforth's passion, is captured. But because of his father's connections, Danforth is simply deported from Nazi Germany. The narrative regularly shifts from the interview to Danforth's adventures in the abattoir that was Europe in the 1940s, where he sought to learn Anna's fate. Clues hint Anna was a double or triple agent, and Danforth is eventually sent to the Soviet Union to determine her identity. There he's taken for a spy and sent to the gulag for 12 years. As the story unfolds, Danforth pushes and prods the callow Crane toward understanding the complexity of moral choices, the shadows that obscure love and loyalty and the perils of cause becoming obsession. Absent one minor point, Cook's plot is as captivating as his characters. It's rendered in an often ear-pleasing literary style— "the sewer's most pernicious flotsam"— and laced with dozens of intriguing historical anecdotes. A knight errant, a labyrinth of deceit, a sure bestseller." —Kirkus Reviews
"Thomas Cook's work is elegant, philosophical, and literary. This book is to be treasured, and is bound to earn him new readers. Grade A" —Cleveland Plain Dealer
Century Club, New York City, 2001
The question was never whether she would live or die, for that had been decided long ago.
Danforth had said this flatly at one point deep in our conversation, a conclusion he'd evidently come to by way of a painful journey.
It had taken time for him to reach this particular remark. As I'd learned by then, he was a man who kept to his own measured pace. After our initial greeting, for example, he'd taken an agonizingly slow sip from his scotch and offered a quiet, grandfatherly smile. "People in their clubs," he said softly. "Isn't that how Fitzgerald put it? People in their clubs who set down their drinks and recalled their old best dreams. I must seem that way to you. An old man with a head full of woolly memories." His smile was like an arrow launched from a great distance. "But even old men can be dangerous."
I'd come to New York from Washington, traveled from one stricken city to another, it seemed, a novice member of the think tank that had recently hired me. My older colleagues had manned the desks of what had once been called Soviet Studies. They'd been very assiduous in these studies. There'd hardly been a ruble spent on missiles or manure that they hadn't recorded and scrutinized. But for all that, not one of them had foreseen the abrupt collapse of the Soviet Union, how it would simply dissolve into the liquefying fat of its own simmering corruption. That stunning failure in forecasting had shaken their confidence to the core and sent them scrambling for an explanation. They'd still been searching for it years later when the attack had come even more staggeringly out of nowhere. That had been a far graver failure to understand the enemy at our gates, and it had sharply, and quite conveniently for me, changed their focus. Now I, the youngest of their number, their latest hire, had been dispatched to interview Thomas Jefferson Danforth, a man I'd never heard of but who'd written to tell me that he had "experience" that might prove useful, as he'd put it, to "policymakers" such as myself, "especially now." The interview was not a prospect I relished, and I knew it to be the sort of task doled out to freshman colleagues more or less as a training exercise, but it was better than standing guard at the copying machine or fetching great stacks of research materials from the bowels of various government agencies.
"I remember that line of Fitzgerald's," I told Danforth, just to let him know that, although a mere wisp of a boy by his lights, I was well educated, perhaps even a tad worldly. "It was about Lindbergh. How 'people set down their glasses in country clubs,' struck by what he'd done."
"A solo flight across the Atlantic that reminded them of what they'd once been or had hoped to be," Danforth added. Now his smile suddenly seemed deeply weighted, like a bet against the odds. "Youth is a country with closed borders," he said. "All that's valuable must be smuggled in."
I assumed this remark was rhetorical and found it somewhat condescending, but our conversation had just begun and so I let it pass.
Danforth winced as he shifted in his chair. "Old bones," he explained. "So, what is your mission, Mr. Crane? The grand one, I mean."
"Our country's good," I answered. "Is that grand enough?"
What remained of Danforth's smile vanished. "I was young like you." His voice was even, his tone cautionary, as if he regarded my youth as an animal that could easily turn on me. "Clever and self-confident. It was a very good feeling, as I recall."
