Gaudreau's Injury a Flames Fix?
By Ryan Pike November 24th, 2016
On November 15, Calgary Flames winger Johnny Gaudreau left a game against the Minnesota Wild after a slash on the hands. The following day, the Flames dropped a bombshell: the slash broke a finger, and Gaudreau would be out for around six weeks. For a club that has struggled with consistency and offensive production this season, Gaudreau's extended absence could be considered a death knell for their playoff hopes. However, Gaudreau's injury may be the best thing that could have happened to the Flames this season.
A Pure Offensive Player
Let's get this out of the way: Gaudreau is easily Calgary's most dangerous and dynamic offensive player. For lack of a better term, he's an artist with the puck that can create something from almost nothing and turn a game on its head with a couple shifts of inventiveness and creativity. Aside from perhaps Kent Nilsson in his prime, the Flames have never had a pure offensive talent on their roster of his magnitude. However, Gaudreau's offensive creativity comes with difficulties.
For one, Gaudreau's line has been given a bit of lee-way in terms of diverging from the team's system – a concession made by many teams for their top guns. But on some occasions, such concessions given to the top line have led to systemic breakdowns, ones that challenge the Flames' ability to play solid 200-foot hockey.
Gaudreau's absence and Sean Monahan's early season struggles, so far, have led to the Flames falling back on their system rather than opening up their play to generate more offense. The Flames' play in their own end, in particular, vastly improved over the first several games after Gaudreau's injury.
The club played their entire training camp and exhibition schedule without Gaudreau and seemed prepared for the long haul without him prior to his contract extension. Presumably, his injury had the coaching staff dusting off their training camp binders to implement those early plans.
Their Only Offensive Player?
Gaudreau's primacy as the Flames' top offensive catalyst also creates a secondary problem when he's in the line-up; much like the previous era, when teammates relied on Jarome Iginla to score goals at crucial times, that burden has fallen on Gaudreau. That reliance has reduced the remainder of the Flames line-up to a bunch of players waiting for Gaudreau to do something to win them the game, rather than playing a true team style of hockey.

Without Gaudreau in the line-up means that the Flames are forced to find offense from unexpected parts of their roster. So far, the primary beneficiaries of the additional offensive zone time caused by the Gaudreau injury have been the trio of Matthew Tkachuk, Michael Frolik and Mikael Backlund. Originally thought of as pillars of a strong third line, Frolik and Backlund have generated many scoring chances since the addition of Tkachuk to their left flank. With more and more offensive zone face-offs likely ahead, this trio could establish themselves as a true scoring line.
Finally, Gaudreau came out of the blocks rather slowly this season and only generated 11 points in 17 games before his injury – a far cry from his roughly point-per-game pace from the rest of his NHL tenure. The drop in productivity can be attributed to many factors, including a lack of familiarity with new coach Glen Gulutzan's system and likely a lack of comfortability within the Flames' line-up.
Jumping into the fray with just one practice before the regular season got underway – compared with teammates that had practiced and worked together for several weeks – Gaudreau never quite looked like he was feeling comfortable or confident, aside from a few offensive flurries here and there. Fans and onlookers waited for the inevitable Gaudreau breakout game. And waited. And waited. By the time Gaudreau was placed on the injured reserve, he had put together a few decent efforts but nothing approaching the level he displayed last season or at the World Cup of Hockey.
Refreshing His Perspective
The injury comes at the near perfect time for Gaudreau as a player. At the beginning of his rookie season, he seemed to be lost on the ice. Then-coach Bob Hartley scratched him for a game and instructed him to simply watch and see things from a different perspective. From that point onwards, Gaudreau was nearly unstoppable on the ice.
The most recent stretch of play has seen Gaudreau fight the puck to a level he hasn't done since that initial rough patch as a rookie. An absence from the line-up and an opportunity to step away from the game day routine and just watch the games from a new perspective could re-energize his on-ice performance upon his return. His rookie scratching allowed him the awareness of where the open space was on the ice (and let him know where his teammates had a tendency to play), and on his return from this absence we may once again see a player with an almost unnatural ability to know where his teammates are instead of one that's trying to do everything on his own.
Losing your best player to injury is never an ideal circumstance. But it may have a silver lining for the Flames.

Congo Trip 13: Frustrated and…
Update from Pat:
We arrived in Bukavu on Thursday and hit the ground running. Entering this country is always a shock to our senses.
With the help of our good friend Solomon translating, Greg and Mike Marshall led all day trainings with 125 pastors Friday and 84 pastors and government leaders Saturday. They encouraged the pastors and government leaders to be willing to learn to innovate and to lead for good. Congolese are extremely resistant to change. The people live in deplorable conditions, and rather than looking for solutions, most pastors, government workers, and other leaders tend to blame others and list excuses. The common belief is that the only way to improve lives is for the government/ western governments/ NGOs/ etc. to give them things. Surrounding countries have made incredible advances in the last few years, but Congo continues to stay the same, or, in many cases, fall further behind. Greg, Mike and Solomon cast vision to encourage them to change their thinking, and to live differently. They encourage them to look for solutions, and to start businesses that will improve life in the Congo – very foreign concepts, which are met with skepticism – and usually, more excuses.
Sadly, corruption is rampant among both government leaders and pastors – people who should be leading Congo to change. Life here is so very difficult, and those who have the power to improve things for the people often exploit the people and do little to help.
To combat the belief that people can't change their circumstances, Greg teaches 5 key principles from Genesis – 1) we are made in God's image; therefore, created to create, 2) subdue the earth, 3) we are designed to work 4) work will be hard, and 5) work brings joy. He encourages entrepreneurship and problem solving.
Mike shared Steven Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and encouraged the leaders to examine their values, develop a vision, read the Bible, pray, and move forward individually and as a country.
Greg uses the example that farmers here still farm with a hoe. When he asks groups about this, he is told that someone should give them tractors. Greg encourages them to look at the problem differently. He tells them that someone in the room could start a business and make animal-drawn plows. The country has wood, steel, welders and the internet to do research. Someone just needs to do the work. Casting vision.
It is all a very long process since doing business in the Congo is exceedingly difficult, and there are so few people doing business here. In fact, the World Bank publishes a list each year of countries in terms of ease of doing business. For 2020, Congo is 183 out of 190.
Thankfully there are wonderful exceptions to these generalizations. It is lonely and difficult for those who are counter-cultural and are willing to work hard, learn, and improve things. We pray that God will lead us to those people, and He does. Last night we spent time with a pastor who had ridden a motorcycle taxi 6 hours on washed out roads to come to the seminar. This pastor spoke impeccable English. When we asked how he learned English, he explained that he wanted to go to a Bible college in Nairobi and needed to speak English to be eligible. He used a Bible in his native language, one in French, and then bought an English Bible and studied the 3 Bibles together. He taught himself English. He knew some English speakers, so when he had questions, he would ask them for help. Humbling. He has started 9 churches in his village and pursues learning all he can to lead his people well. He explained that the people did not have Bibles because they are very expensive. We gave him 27 solar powered Bibles to take back to his churches. (For a little context on "expensive," he rode a motorcycle taxi instead of taking a faster and more comfortable boat ride. The boat ride was almost twice as expensive as riding on the back of the motorcycle. He saved $6.00 – that's not a typo.)
This is just a snapshot of one aspect of the trip. Another snapshot is that Mike Sheffelin got together with Prince on Sunday within an hour of our arrival. Prince is one of those people who is an exception. Mike and Josh Cox have worked closely with Prince and several others in video training for years and communicate regularly with Prince and others when we are in Austin. Prince, because of the training and equipment that Mike and Josh have provided, was hired to do several days of videoing for an NGO. Mike was able to assist Prince in the filming on Sunday. What a joy!
Each day is very full, from morning until late at night.
Mike S and Josh will continue leading their very popular 6-day video training, which always includes many hours with individuals outside of the actual training times.
Greg and Mike M will meet with many individuals and do their training seminars for many groups, including the Africa Mupya Facebook group. They formed the private FB group, which currently has 800 people, with a strategy to target young men in the Bukavu area with the intention of taking an enormous group for casting vision, and then sifting the group to find those individuals who have the potential to change this country.
I am looking forward to spending time on Tuesday with a wonderful ministry to women who are victims of sexual violence.
While all of that is happening, Greg and Mike are spending a lot of time continuing to mentor Solomon. I wrote about him in a letter last year. He translates and does a lot of set up work for Greg, but he is also a dear friend. We learn so much about the culture from Solomon, and he and Greg are very close. Solomon and Philip, another exception and translator, stay at our hotel and go to dinner with us each night, partially so that mentoring can be done throughout the time we are in Bukavu.
So much going on each day we are here! I'm sorry the email got so long.
We covet your prayers and will send another update as soon as we can.

Why paint flowers in 2019?
By Shim Woo-hyun
The still-life painting genre may not hold much appeal for contemporary artists, since it does not leave much room for new discoveries. Flower paintings might be seen as especially outmoded.
But in an art scene dominated by conceptual art, local painter Kim Sung-yoon's focus on flowers is as bold as it is refreshing.
"Assorted Flowers in the White Porcelain Jar with a Blue Dragon" (2019) by Kim Sung-yoon (Gallery Hyundai)
"Many expressed worries when I said I wanted to paint flowers, but I think flower paintings are still a good means to communicate with the viewers," Kim said during a press conference held last Tuesday.
Kim's solo exhibition at Gallery Hyundai, titled "Arrangement," featured some 50 flower paintings divided into three series.
The artist said "looking awry" was the prevailing mode in contemporary art, and he wanted to step away from the mainstream.
"There is a tendency in the contemporary art scene where people don't take flowers as they are. However, the more I see them, the more I could only think of a flower as a flower, a beautiful flower. I wanted to paint the beauty of flowers," Kim said.
Kim added that he had decided to work on still-life paintings because he is often emotionally drawn to things that are no longer part of the mainstream.
"I think I am interested in bringing back things that have been pushed aside," said Kim.
In 2013, Kim held another exhibition at Gallery Hyundai titled "Athlete," featuring paintings of individuals in costumes from early Olympic Games. These works, he said, also came from that sense of wanting to revive a lost art form.
Kim said he had grown fond of flowers as he encountered them often in his daily life.
"It has been about five years since I got married. Both of us like flowers, so I often buy flowers on my way back home," Kim said.
Paintings of flowers he bought for his wife fill up the second-floor gallery space.
"I carefully selected flowers to make a nice combination of colors. But, at some point, my wife started to use things like food jars to put the flowers in. I did not like it much in the beginning, but I began to think that it well represented part of my own life."
Kim Sung Yoon's "Tulips Petruzzelli Jar" (Gallery Hyundai)
For his flower paintings, Kim has adopted the techniques of still-life masters and added his own touch.
For the painting series on the second floor, Kim used different colors for the frame mats, matching them to the flowers. It was one of the ways that impressionist and neo-impressionist painter Camille Pissarro decorated his frames, the artist explained.
Yet Kim parts ways with Pissarro by painting the brand labels from the food jars that his wife uses as flower vases -- Divella, Reine Duon and Bonne Maman, among others -- at the bottom center of his frame mats. "They add kitschiness to the paintings," Kim said.
For the large flower paintings on the first floor, Kim built on a method employed by Jan Brueghel the Elder, a 17th-century Dutch painter and the son of Pieter Bruegel.
In the manner of Brueghel, who collected images of diverse flowers from different seasons and later painted them together, Kim Googled flowers to create arrangements that are not possible in real life.
The black-and-white still-life flower paintings in the basement space are an homage to his beloved painter, Edouard Manet.
The 16 paintings are Kim's own rendition of the 16 paintings featured in a publication titled "The Last Flowers of Manet," the artist explained.
Kim said he does not work with a concept or discourse because he feels like he is missing something.
"I think I should do things I can do," Kim said.

Liverpool may have had to fled the Virgil van Dijk bidding war with their tails between their legs last week—having to issue a formal, public apology to Southampton for "tapping up" the Dutch defender—but the Reds are now being linked to another Saints player: Serbian winger Dusan Tadic.
According to the Times, Liverpool boss is keen on Tadic despite him having a lacklustre season by his standards—posting his lowest tally of goals and assists in a Saints shirt.
The report believes there to be a minimum release clause fee in the region of £13m in Tadic's contract, as well as stating how the Serbian international grew disillusioned under Claude Puel's management in the 2016/17 campaign.
If true, this shouldn't come as a surprise after Tadic said how he felt "disrespected" by Puel for being routinely substituted while interviewed on international duty away from the club.

Spring Hill College, University of Mobile make U.S. News & World Report's annual rankings
Renee Busby, Press-Register
Nearly 300 graduates made the historic walk down the "Avenue of the Oaks" at Spring Hill College's commencement exercises on Saturday, May 5, 2012. (Press-Register/Victor Calhoun)
MOBILE, Alabama -- The U.S. News & World Report's 2013 college rankings released today have Spring Hill College ranked No. 17 among the best regional universities, and the University of Mobile ranked 28th among regional colleges.
Regional universities offer a full range of undergraduate programs and some master's programs, but few doctoral programs. Regional colleges focus on undergraduate education, but grant fewer than 50 percent of their degrees in liberal arts disciplines.
"I am pleased that Spring Hill College continues to be recognized as one of the top 20 colleges and universities in the South," said the Rev. Richard P. Salmi, Spring Hill's president. "Our faculty and staff are dedicated to providing an outstanding educational experience for our students both inside and outside of the classroom."
The University of Mobile rose two points in the rankings from last year, while Spring Hill's numbers remained the same.
"We appreciate the recognition that the University of Mobile received in this survey," said university spokeswoman Kathy Dean. "Our focus on quality academic programs and integrating learning, faith and leadership continue to attract attention beyond our region."
She said surveys such as this are among many sources of information that prospective college students and their families can use to help find a school that is the right fit for them.
The University of South Alabama was ranked but not published among National Universities, which are schools that offer a full range of undergraduate majors, plus Master's and Ph.D. programs. These colleges also are committed to producing groundbreaking research.
Last year USA was moved from the Regional to the National category.
The report only ranks the top 200, and everything after that is in alphabetical order.
"It is widely accepted that the U.S. News rankings have a statistical bias in favor of older universities that reject large numbers of applicants, have tremendous wealth, and don't cater to the diverse educational needs of an urban population," said USA spokesman Keith Ayers. "Many of the universities in the national rankings are financially out of reach of today's students and their families."
Ayers said that in just 50 years USA has emerged as a major educational force on the Gulf Coast by offering high quality academic programs at a competitive cost, providing access to educational value that is vital in today's economy."
The University of Alabama and Auburn University dropped among the ranks of the report compared to last year's numbers.
Alabama is ranked at No. 32, while Auburn is 37 among public universities nationwide for its undergraduate programs. This category includes public colleges and universities that are typically operated under the supervision of state governments and are funded, in part, by tax dollars and subsidies.
Alabama and Auburn each slipped by one point in the rankings. Last year Alabama was 31, while Auburn was 36 among public universities.
Among National Universities, Alabama was No. 77 while Auburn was 89th in the nation among both public and private schools. Schools in the National Universities category offer a full range of undergraduate majors, plus master's and Ph.D. programs.

Q: What solution are you using for IIS 7.5 logging? I'm looking for some recommended configurations for IIS (7.5) logging for a reasonably high-traffic web-farm? Currently generating approx 500MB uncompressed logs on each of 4 web servers daily.
ODBC logging? To SQL Server seems like a lot of overhead for log files... Maybe to an open source database of some sort?
Should I just keep using log files and something like Analog to summarise them for points of interest?
What about Splunk? Could this be helpful?
Any recommendations or war-stories from people running IIS in larger environments and how you handle request logging?

A: I've been using AWStats for our large farms though I clean up the files first with LogParser (removing healthchecks, merging farm files (don't sort!), etc.). We don't have the size of files you do but we're definitely in the 300MB range and AWStats works fine. We don't need realtime so the processing happens on a jobs server at night and the stats are ready daily. We have stats for about 10 different sites. If you want to drill down to subsites it gets a bit messy but we've been using AWStats for about five or six years with no issues.
Would love to use Google Analytics but it's no good for intranet sites (security/privacy reasons).

A: I've struggled with finding a good program to handle large log files.  Somewhere around the size that you have is where most tools start to fail.
DeepMetrix LiveStats (no longer an active product) would fail around that log size.
SmarterStats (www.smartertools.com) is close, and you can give it a try.  It will keep up on the log processing but it's slow viewing reports because of its own file system database.
Analog can handle a lot of logs and I believe works for this size although I haven't tried it in a few years.
Even Urchin struggles with large log files.  It can probably handle your size, but it will eventually peak out too.
Log Parser is awesome as parsing large log files, but you'll need to build your own reports.  I've reverted to some custom reporting on a couple really large sites.
Google Analytics is an option to consider too.  It's a viable option for situations like yours.

what are design patterns in .net? Is MVC a design pattern?
Design patterns provide general solutions or flexible way to solve common software design problems.
"Each pattern describes a problem which occurs over and over again in our environment, and then describes the core of the solution to that problem, in such a way that you can use this solution a million times over, without ever doing it the same way twice."
The 23 Gang of Four (GoF) patterns are generally considered the foundation for all other patterns. They are placed in three groups: Creational, Structural, and Behavioral (for a complete list see below).

"Media has an unhindered right to report. Attack on mediapersons is highly improper and condemnable." Thus tweeteth Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.
That's good to know. On the other hand, think about the kind of India we live in where the Finance Minister has to tweet out something like this, something that should be utterly self-evident.
But a tweet in time saves nothing. It's just a gambit in a good-cop bad-cop game that everyone can see through by now.
As we saw at Patiala House yesterday, the men in black were back on rampage, pummeling reporters, raining blows on JNU student union president Kanhaiya Kumar and then boasting about it. "We are so proud of you. This calls for a celebration," says lawyer Surendra Tyagi to those who took part in the mayhem.
"People are calling us goondas while the anti-nationals are being hailed as heroes. We will continue to fight for our motherland. If anyone casts aspersions on our Mother India, we will gouge their eyes out, " says lawyer Vikram Chauhan who led the attacks on Monday and then again on Tuesday.
When the Supreme Court's own team went to assess the situation, they were greeted by lawyers shouting "ye saare dalle hain, aaj sab ko theek kar denge." (They are all pimps, we will fix all of them today.) Who says justice is delayed in India? It droppeth as the not-so-gentle rain from heaven upon the hapless beneath in Patiala courthouse.
We now have a new definition of lawyer in the Indian English Dictionary, forged right inside a court complex.
Police throng the court premises as Kanhaiya Kumar is brought in.
Lawyer (n): One who takes the law into his own hands.
O P Sharma, who calls Jaitley "Boss", is regarded as Jaitley's "shadow" but evidently not even the shadow of Jaitley's tweet falls on him. That makes one thing clear. What happened in the courthouse with O P Sharma is not overreaction. This is planned combustion. Nobody is squirming here, not Sharma, not his bosses.
The BJP has decided that the way ahead is to wrap itself in the colours of the national flag and brazen it out. BJP spokesperson Srikant Sharma said, "There is anger across the country over the slogans at the JNU meeting that called for the break up of India. But the party has always taken the position that it does not support violence by anyone."
Srikant Sharma did not say what that meant for its own lawmaker caught on tape delivering mob justice. He preferred to leave that to the court because the incident took place in the court. Meanwhile BJP MLA from Rajasthan Kailash Choudhary has told Zee News that Rahul Gandhi is a traitor who should be hanged or shot for joining the protests against the police crackdown in JNU. Again we see the good-cop, bad-cop game in full force with the good cop choosing to look the other way as the bad cop does his Dabaang act.
Lawyers at Patiala House court.
And every time OP Sharma appears on television he too is signaling the impunity he enjoys. This can no longer be regarded as the hot-headed "fringe elements" going on rampage. This is now a deliberate mainstream strategy, a Molotov cocktail of patriotism that the party hopes will garner fevered public support and paint everyone who opposes it as "anti-national" gaddars. The Bharatiya Janata Party is being positioned as equivalent to Bharat Mata. If the public cannot have development, let them eat nationalism instead.
Thus we now have a new definition of minimum government as promised by the Prime Minister in his election campaign.
Minimum Government (n): Minimum security for a detainee in court. Minimum control over goons loyal to the ruling party. Minimum intervention by party leaders.
Maximum Governance (n): Maximum use of national flag colours. Maximum use of sedition charges. Maximum use of anti-national epithets.
In another country, the opposition would do acts like these to undermine the government's control. Maoists might try and destroy faith in the power of the state by showing its institutions as toothless paper tigers. But this is the government which sees no problem in letting its faithful undermine its own institutions, its police, its courts, to create an image of a sarkar that cannot guarantee the safety of a detainee or the press corps in a courthouse in the nation's capital. Is this escalation surprising, given that the government's own minister has no problem calling the media "presstitutes"?
Kanhaiya Kumar being escorted by police.
The police in the nation's capital has been reduced to the puppets of government who cannot move until their strings are pulled by the powers that be. We see the spectacle of Bhim Sain Bassi, the police commissioner of Delhi, apparently unfazed that his force has been rendered mute spectator to violence, day after day, in a courthouse. The police that showed alacrity in going to college hostels to round up "anti-national students" stood paralysed in a courthouse while media persons and a detainee were beaten up, their phones snatched. They formed a shield around Kanhaiya only after he had already been attacked. The police did nothing. That has been the enduring description about what the police did over the past couple of days in publication after publication.
Thus we now have a new definition of police.
Police (n): Mute spectator in uniform meant to stand and watch goons beat up anyone it deems "anti-national" elements e.g. student union leaders and "presstitutes". Most often used with the phrase "did nothing" as in the "Police did nothing".
The Prime Minister, as usual, is unfazed. He is tweeting on about soil health cards, Ramakrishna Paramhansa and birthday greetings for Sushma Swaraj-ji. What's most telling is that unlike after Dadri and Rohith Vemula's suicide, there is not a huge clamour for the PM to speak up anymore. It's as if the nation has understood the PM's silence speaks louder than words.
The O P Sharmas and Vikram Chauhans have certainly understood it loud and clear. Meanwhile Bassi who is set to retire soon has also added his own entry to our new and revised Indian English Dictionary, the Patiala courthouse edition.
Jostling (n): Violence conducted in police presence involving punching, kicking, mobile phone snatching, heckling, abuse.

On the Campus A moment with ... Andrew Schlafly '81, on 'Conservapedia'
By Mark F. Bernstein '83
Published in the February 24, 2010 Issue
Frank Wojciechowski
Andrew Schlafly '81 learned conservatism as a boy in the 1970s, watching his mother, Phyllis Schlafly, lead the fight against passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. Now Schlafly, a Harvard-trained lawyer, has tried to bring conservatism into the Internet age by launching two projects online: Conservapedia (www.conservapedia.com), a conservative alternative to Wikipedia, and the Conservative Bible project (www.conservapedia.com/ Conservative_Bible). What are people viewing on Conservapedia? The first five listings under "Popular Items" are: Evolution, Atheism, Bias in Wikipedia, Jesus Christ, and Bible. Schlafly spoke to PAW in December.
Where did you get the idea for Conservapedia?
I was teaching a world-history class to a group of home-schoolers, and one of them submitted answers that used B.C.E. and C.E. to describe dates instead of B.C. and A.D. I asked where she had gotten that, and she said she got it from Wikipedia. I realized that more and more people are getting their information from Wikipedia, which is an atheistic and very liberal resource. I decided that we needed an Internet encyclopedia that was free of liberal bias and also gave clear and concise answers.
If anyone can contribute to Wikipedia, what makes it liberal?
It's the framework that makes it liberal. It's the difference between a legal proceeding that uses a jury and a good set of rules, which is what Conservapedia is, compared to a mob, which is what Wikipedia is. Anyone can serve on a jury, and anyone can join a mob, but the outcomes are very different. A jury is guided by good rules to promote truth-finding. A mob is guided by the biggest bullies.
Is there such a thing as an objective encyclopedia?
In practice, the answer is no. I think we are better off if people disclose their approach, and then readers can make their own decisions accordingly.
Have there been calls for a conservative Bible?
There are other Bible translation projects going on, and they are getting increasingly distorted. For example, a group of professors at Wheaton College [in Illinois] have announced that they will come out with a translation to replace the New International Version. I don't trust them. Translating the Bible is too important to be done behind closed doors by a profession that is predominantly liberal. I wanted to apply the same tools that we have developed on Conservapedia and open up the Bible to public review and editing as well as public scrutiny.
What makes this Bible conservative?
Conservatism is an approach that adheres to original intent in interpreting older documents. Many of the concepts in the Bible are also politically conservative, so the expectation is that the original intent of the Bible will express concepts that would be called conservative today.
Who makes the ultimate determination as to the best translation?
We have opened this up to the public in the hope that, over time, the best translation will become so obvious that all these members of the public, who are in a sense sitting on this jury, will reach a unanimous conclusion. If it's not unanimous, you start the process again until there is unanimous agreement.
Aren't you interpreting the Gospels through the lens of politics, rather than interpreting your politics through the lens of the Gospels?
The lens of politics can be a powerful and effective means of getting at the truth. It's like solving a math problem. One approach may yield a result in a page of work. Take a different approach, and it may take you 20 pages. By looking at things through a political lens, it often becomes easier to see what should not be there and where the biases come in. A political analysis of the manuscripts is an easier way to identify passages that are not authentic to the true spirit of the Bible than other approaches.
Are you optimistic about conservative prospects today?
My view is that the 2008 election was an aberration, like Woodstock in 1969. It wasn't the beginning of a liberal movement, but the end of it. The 2009 elections had stunningly conservative outcomes, and I think we are going to see the country continue to move in that direction. The reason is that conservatism is mostly logic, and ultimately logic prevails.

Is a "Celebration of Life" Enough?
Not long ago, I attended a celebration of life. It was a very nice event with an opportunity to extend condolences to the family and listen to loved ones share the joy that the deceased's life had given. It was nice to celebrate a life well lived, and yet it left me feeling a little bit empty. In addition to celebrating, there was cause for mourning. Certainly, life is something to be celebrated, but how do we mourn the loss of someone from our lives? In the Catholic faith, it is more than a nice custom to have a funeral mass, burial service, even a rosary at the visitation. It is a blessing and a responsibility as people of faith.
Increasingly in our culture, we turn our eye away from the sacredness and the sorrow of death, being led to feel like the appropriate response is to focus on the positive. Accentuate the good things, find peace that someone is now in a "better place." But we must also process the sorrow, the inevitable sadness, grief that can't be extinguished, the spectrum of feelings that are a part of our humanity. We share the divinity and grace of our Lord who gives us peace through prayer, compassion, sharing. We take time to not only reflect on a loved one's life well lived, but also to console each other and experience together the sacredness in death as well as life, impacting us not only bodily but spiritually. In light of your faith, is a celebration of the highlights enough?

As some of you might know, Opeth are quite possibly my favorite band in the entire world. Their eclectic blend of death metal, acoustic ballads and jazz-styled breaks make them far beyond a death metal band. Their most recent album, Heritage, is effectively an homage to 70's prog rock, with no death growls at all, and a focus on contrast and musical sensitivity. Their seventh album, Damnation, is entirely soft and jazz-like, without death growls and without distorted guitars.
The point is, they are technically, musically and compositionally one of the most accomplished bands in the world, and their 20-year, 11-album career has given them a musical prowess unmatched by almost any other band. They are one of those bands that are actually better live than they are on record, and the chance to see them live was an opportunity I simply could not pass up.
I was lucky enough to see them in 2003, right after the release of Deliverance, which contains some of the most rhythmically complex music they've ever written, and their performance of the title track was astonishing. I heard it again this time, and if anything they were even better.
Their opening band, Katatonia, were musically accomplished and a good compliment for Opeth, but sadly their singer was not on form, and was out of tune far too often (by contrast, Mikael Åklerfeldt was spot on every time, despite being sick and having a sore throat). I'll skip them therefore, other than to say that they played a number of my favorite songs, including Day And Then The Shade and Deliberation.
Then it was Opeth's turn. They opened with the first song from the Ghost Reveries album, Ghost Of Perdition, which was simply perfect. This was their first album after the soft Damnation, and it opens with four slow, gloomy, acoustic chords, and the suspense on the first listen is wonderful, because you don't know what kind of song it's going to be…until the guitars blast in, and we're off on a rampant, heavy journey.
They ended up cutting the set slightly short because of Åkerfeldt's illness, which meant they missed out on The Leper Affinity, one of my all-time favorite songs. I suppose I can't complain, though – I did see them perform it ten years ago, and I have to give immense credit to him; a lot of singers/musicians would call out sick if they came down with a cold; Opeth have the kind of tenacity and determination that means they're dedicated to their audience, every single time.
Oh, and there was some amusing banter regarding his moustache.

Weight Loss › How this mum said GOODBYE to excuses and lost 7.3st
How this mum said GOODBYE to excuses and lost 7.3st
We are unbelievably proud of Renée who has lost an incredible 7.3st with the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge.
When she was told that she would be facing a premature death, Renée said goodbye to all those excuses and self-doubt and is now doing things she never thought possible thanks to her better health. WOW! How incredible is that?
How mum said GOODBYE to excuses and lost 7.3st
Renée asks herself, "Who is that woman on the left? I can barely even remember her…"
However, what she does recall is feeling constantly tired, unhappy and lethargic. Not to mention not caring – what so ever – about what she wore so long as it covered her body.
The thought of exercise exhausted her. Renée says she use to feel depressed, anxious and would often lock herself away from the outside world.
"She [referring to herself] was done with the stares and the looks she would get when she was out in public," the mum-of-one admits.
Now to the woman on the right
However, looking at her picture on the right, Renée says its a different woman entirely.
"Now the woman on the right has emerged! Absolutely DONE with her own excuses, her own insecurities, her own bad health!
"Pushed into the direction of the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge due to the impending chronic illnesses she would have to face at just 26 years old!"
Renée use to suffer from horrendous PCOS, chronic ache, high blood pressure and cholesterol.
"I was a ticking time bomb," she says.
"I'm glad the choice was finally taken out of my hands, it was now time to make a change or die a premature death. As morbid as it sounds, that's what I was facing…"
Now NOTHING stops me
However, Renée says the picture on the right isn't the new her. Rather, it is the 'her' she was always meant to be.
"She was in there, she just needed a little motivation and inspiration.
"Now nothing stops me! I have endless amounts of energy, perfect blood pressure, no cholesterol and my PCOS is almost gone completely.
"I look forward to getting out of bed every day and thinking about how I can push myself harder, go faster, give it more than I did yesterday. My body can now do amazing things that I never in a million years thought it would ever be able to do."
Renée is now empowering other mums to push away the self-doubt, kick away the negativity and put a stop to your own 'pity party'.
Renée reveals, "You are reading this right now because you WANT to change, just like I did! Join me on the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge if you are DONE with just 'existing', let's see what happens if you start living!"
The 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge has helped Renée take control of her health. This mum has done absolutely incredibly on her weight loss journey.
There is no doubt she is an inspiration to so, so, so many!
Join Renée on the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge

Questionable business practices and appalling lack of success revealed.
SiteSell, a business that has been helping solopreneurs to create successful online businesses of their own since 1997, recently released a review and study of competitor Wealthy Affiliate that has shocking results and implications.
"It's unseemly for one business to review a competitor," said SiteSell CEO and Founder Ken Evoy. "We would normally never do it because such a review would be biased and lack credibility. Therefore, instead of a typical 'opinion' review, we took it in a completely different direction."
SiteSell designed and performed a scientific-level study and let the numbers do the talking. Why take this unusual approach? It is a response to an organized campaign of fake reviews that was initiated by affiliates of another company, Wealthy Affiliate.
Fake reviews, written as standalone web pages, constitute a well-known and growing problem. And affiliates of Wealthy Affiliate have acquired a particular reputation.
SiteSell CMO Mike Allton adds, "This is a very different problem than the fake reviews in review aggregation sites such as TripAdvisor and even Amazon. This issue has become a cat-and-mouse game of measure-countermeasure."
"But," he notes, "that type of fake is under control due to each company's economic self-interest in featuring trusted reviews. TripAdvisor dies the day that visitors no longer believe which is the best hotel in Puglia, Italy, for example."
In other words, the provider of reviews-as-a-service self-regulates. Those with the most reliable reviews win. But who regulates product reviews that are presented as individual web pages or blog posts?
"Surprise!," exclaims Evoy. "It's Google." Or at least it should be.
He outlines a reasonable argument. Google's job is to deliver the highest-quality, most relevant and useful web pages for any particular search term and its likely search intent. However, many affiliates — some as rogues of honest programs, others due to detailed training (e.g., teaching to include the word "scam" or to find a positive aspect to praise so that the opinion appears subjective) — create fake reviews, enough of which rank in the Top 10 to damage sales of SBI!.
Reviews of Solo Build It! are particularly important to a product such as SBI!.
"Think about it," says Allton. "We are asking the solopreneur who is interested in SBI! to make a serious commitment. It's not the annual fee, as much as it is the opportunity cost of the time commitment, your pride and self-image, and even perhaps facing the opinion of friends and family who 'told them so.'"
With all that on the line, it's natural to search for reviews. Notes Evoy, "We feel that it's particularly odious to create fake reviews, especially if they lead people to an inferior product. You're playing with people's futures."
Wealthy Affiliate provides its affiliates with a list of 175 products to target, and Solo Build It! is near the top of the list. After finding that list, SiteSell quickly discarded the "rogue affiliate (for an honest company)" theory for some of the fake reviews.
They found a widespread campaign where fake reviews win from 2 to 9 of the Top 10 search results for various searches for reviews about its product name ("Solo Build It!"), its acronym ("SBI!") or for its pre-rebranding name.
A fake review can be defined as a positive, neutral or negative review that is not an actual consumer's honest and impartial opinion or that does not reflect a consumer's genuine experience of a product, service or business.
"The actual content of the so-called 'review' varies," says Evoy. "But we have yet to see one that is anything more than a quick put-together. The Google searcher has not found a real SBI! review — s/he has unknowingly entered a WA sales funnel, complete with techniques such as fake comments."
"We now know what it feels like to be the Washington Generals," jokes Allton, referring to the patsies who always lost to the Harlem Globetrotters. "We just never seem to win a review and get the recommendation from these guys."
If Wealthy Affiliate really was a superior product, the approach still appears to be illegal. However, the SiteSell team was confident in its product, "especially after examining Wealthy Affiliate's so-called 'Certification Courses' in detail," states Evoy.
"There are so many positive Wealthy Affiliate reviews written by Wealthy Affiliate members that it's near-impossible to find a negative one. But there's an old saying, "repeating a lie 1,000,000 times does not make it true."
"We guesstimated, based on reviewing their product, that SBI! would be at least several times better. We decided to take it further and discover the truth."
Evoy, a former emergency room physician who had taught and practiced Emergency Medicine at a teaching hospital of Montreal's McGill University, designed a simple but objective, scientific study.
"The most important part," he says, "is that we provide the entire methodology to enable anyone to repeat the study if they don't believe it." In other words, no one can claim that the data is wrong, because they can check it for themselves.
How was that question of bias eliminated? Although they can point out countless reasons why Wealthy Affiliate is inferior, "they all boil down to opinion. So if we needed opinion to make our case, no matter how logical, we'd lose," reasons Allton.
"Heck," he exclaims with a note of exasperation, "we have a ton of verifiable proof of success. They have none. And folks still believe them."
They felt this was a case for numbers, not words, to settle. The Study's results are based on raw data from Alexa, SimilarWeb and SEMrush, 3 well-respected tools that measure site traffic of websites.
The study obtained this data for all 17,000 active, hosted sites from Wealthy Affiliate and all 10,000 active, hosted sites using Solo Build It! (SBI!).
Originally conducted in April, they repeated it in May, partially because they feared there could be a great difference in performance. Allton says, "we couldn't spot any error in the methodology or the math. It's all pretty simple, but we did a last-second repeat to see how reproducible the results were."
SBI! sites are 33 times (33X) more likely to achieve "Outstanding – Excellent" levels of traffic than Wealthy Affiliate.
SBI! sites are 10 times (10X) more likely to achieve "Medium" levels of traffic than Wealthy Affiliate.
87% of Wealthy Affiliate sites are "Invisible." The only category where Wealthy Affiliate "beats" SBI! is in that worst level of failure ("Invisible" meaning that the sites get no detectable traffic).
Have there been criticisms of The Study? "Nothing valid and substantive," replies Evoy. Most amounted to "I don't believe it," a statement that seems to be more a sign of brainwashing than rigorous analysis.
Those comments appear mostly in Part 1 of The Study — quite a few disbelieving Wealthy Affiliate users and affiliates. Many threads also arose in the Wealthy Affiliate community, but several of them have been deleted, leaving the ones that favor Wealthy Affiliate, "even though they're wrong," adds Evoy wryly.
As a result of this review and study, Evoy and Allton have determined to raise awareness among consumers and other businesses regarding the dangers of "fake reviews" and "bait & switch" tactics, in general, as well as the potential repercussions for affiliates.
While the affiliate as primary actor is the one who has to live with his/her conscience and direct legal consequence, the SiteSell team has found that many simply re-draw the line between "good person and bad."
"We have now informed every ranking affiliate of the results — twice. Only one has looked hard and realized the damage he was going to others. He pulled the review. The rest seem willing to trade their soul or reputation and hurt good people who just want to know what the best product is. It's sad."
They have to live with that, as well as potential lawsuits from customers who may only learn of The Study some time after being fooled by a fake review.
What about at the company level?
Wealthy Affiliate, the company, walks its own ethical and legal line. Ethically, it has an obligation to disclose this study and how it relates to its "recommend us because we're the best" advice. "But then again," adds Evoy, "it's our impression that the advice to create what amounts to fake reviews in order to bait-and-switch already runs afoul of the law."
"From a sheerly human perspective, we don't understand how anyone can do this to someone who wants to build a serious online business, growing profits and equity that make a difference to his/her life.
Then Evoy returns to "Google as unwitting accomplice."
"Sadly, fake reviews dominate the online business space. They do so by the law of large numbers and because some of the MMO ("Make Money Online") affiliates have been doing this for a long time and are skilled."
"Nevertheless, the whole scheme only works because Google fails to discriminate the worst type of content imaginable, much of it written at below the "REJECT BY PANDA" low-quality level."
"This is not a small problem. Google's searches that return fake reviews cause loss of money, as well as pain and suffering. It employs fake-review technology for its own commercial Google merchant service. But NOT for search?"
"Frankly," interjects Allton, "I'm amazed that Google has not cleaned out most of the fake reviews. The technology seems to be there. We can see how RankBrain may have to advance a few levels before it picks up the stuff that is good enough to fool the sophisticated reader. But much of this is basic Panda-type junk."
Every affiliate and affiliate program manager for businesses should know that such tactics are immoral and illegal. They should also know that the issue of misleading online advertising is high on regulatory body priorities.
Individual fake reviews represent disparagement of a business's products, goods or services, subject to trade libel laws. A new term called "astroturfing" has emerged to describe widespread fake reviews (either positive or negative) orchestrated by a profiting company or organization. Although it's not a legal term, centrally organized fake reviews constitute misleading advertising.
Consumers who have fallen victim to fake reviews and made ill-informed purchases are taken particularly seriously when they report their case to the Federal Trade Commission or regulatory bodies of other countries (links below).
And, of course, you can report high search rankings of fake reviews by Google by clicking "Send feedback" at the bottom of each search results page. Impress upon them that the reported ranking(s) has/have failed them both as weak information and as the very opposite of what their primary function is — to provide high-value, helpful information. Their high ranking adds credibility to some of the worst fake review in existence, helping to perpetuate and propagate what is close to fraud at times.

Consider the other objects you already personal when you are deciding on what piece of recent furniture to pick out. It's worthwhile to be sure the new item blends well with the fabric, finish and supplies of your current pieces so that the whole room flows collectively. Planning forward may help to avoid bringing residence a brand new item that just doesn't work in the room. If you need a change, contemplate looking for accent items. You can brighten up a room and alter the entire look by simply including a couple of throw pillows, a new aspect desk or an accent piece. You possibly can even add new wall pieces just to spruce up the area.
When you're furniture shopping it's worth if to ask for a cheaper price. Many occasions furniture stores set a a lot greater value then they want and can work with you. As soon as you discover the piece or items you want, ask your salesperson if they can provide you a greater value. Concentrate on the types of wood your furniture is often made out of. Various kinds of wooden have completely different qualities, so the same piece of furniture made out of one type of wooden may be a complete lot sturdier when comprised of a unique sort of wood. This could also result in a bigger value as well.
If you're attempting to buy furniture made in both totally or a minimum of partially environmentally responsible manners, look out for three potential certifications. Scientific Certification Techniques makes use of an SCS label. Additionally look for SmartWood certification by the Rainforest Alliance. The Inexperienced Seal group also verifies furniture, merely saying Inexperienced Seal on the label.
Think about the colour schemes of the room you need to put furniture in. For instance, it's possible you'll be in love with that cherry pink leather-based couch, however is it really the best choice to your all pink living room? Take into account the colors concerned to make a extremely pleasant match. Learn how to correctly clean up a spill on your microfiber furniture. To begin with, blot the spill with absorbent paper towels. Wash the area utilizing a light soap solution. Ensure that to rinse it off and pat it dry. Lastly, use a dry brush to brush the area in the same course as the nap.
There are lots of different ways you may alter furniture.
For those who buy a patterned couch, examine to see that the fabric aligns properly. On some cheaper items of furniture, different sections of material may not line up correctly. For those who're spending a lot of money, the fabric should be completely aligned. If the tailoring seems poor, choose another sofa. It is vital that you know how to search for the right discounts and deals when looking for the furniture you need. This text goes to help you with that. Consider what you are about to read, and ensure you concentrate so that you can know what to do.
Many furniture stores may provide hire to personal objects but the buyer needs to beware. Their value is very elevated with the excess fees and finance fees. The items may even be used or of poor high quality. Take the time to examine the item and to do the maths on how a lot the item will price in total with the entire fees and interest charges added in. You can be shocked at how much more it costs.
Do you've pets? If that's the case, carefully think about what colour or cloth you would like your furniture to be. Lighter colors will present loads of filth, so you most likely want to err on the side of warning and get something just a little darker. As well as, you need to search for fabrics that are stain resistant as well. When shopping for home furniture, it's essential to be careful about the colors you select. Daring colors won't match once you change your decor. Make sure that your larger furniture objects are neutral colours. You need to use smaller, less expensive items so as to add colour or persona.
When buying furniture with an interest-free credit card, take care that it is paid off before the grace interval expires. In any other case, you will most likely end up owing a variety of interest. Just be sure you understand all effective print earlier than you make your buy. Though it could not look nice, it might be clever to purchase a settee cover whenever you purchase a new sofa. Let's face it, sofas could be fairly pricy and it would be a disgrace to have it ruined by stains. You should purchase a neutral color to match with every little thing else.
If they are located near one another, and they really feel agency, you may be pretty confident in your buy. Don't simply buy essentially the most visually interesting potential substitute you see.

A minimum reserve price of $2 million has been set for the 39.5-acre parcel, said Bradford R. Martin Jr., the lawyer representing Zion Bible in the transaction.
There are nine buildings on the property, including Belton Court, a historic mansion.
Martin said the auction will be held on the site off Middle Highway. The auction house, J.J. Manning of Yarmouthport, Mass., will arrange for potential bidders to have the chance to inspect the property before the auction.
In the spring, the Town Council walked away from its contract to buy the property for $5.2 million. The purchase was going to be contingent on voter approval, but the council withdrew from the contract after considering the results of a comprehensive inspection of the property.
The report said it would cost $1.59 million for asbestos abatement, on top of $586,300 for immediately needed repairs to Belton Court, $73,000 for repairs to the gymnasium, and $500,000 to demolish unwanted buildings on the campus.
At the time, Town Council President June Speakman said the town never intended to pay for a full restoration of Belton Court, but the report estimated that cost at $10 million.
Speakman had also said that another environmental issue is the unknown cost of dealing with 10 underground tanks identified in the inspection report.
Zion Bible moved to Haverhill several years ago. In January 2007, the Barrington property was listed for $13 million.
