Wisc. Gov. Scott Walker Wins Historic Recall Election
Robert Jonathan
Now that Scott Walker, Wisconsin's Republican governor, has fended off a recall effort and will serve out his first term through 2014, can we conclude perhaps that the unions and the Democrats just don't get it?
Walker is the only governor in American history to survive a recall.
After Walker's collective bargaining reforms were signed into law–and they have largely survived various legal challenges –the unions tried and failed to defeat Wisconsin Supreme Court justice David Prosser for reelection.They then tried and failed to tip control of the state senate to the Democrats in a previous recall election. Now they have failed to unseat Walker and Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch.
Contrary to low-ball estimates, Big Labor poured in about $20 million in an failed effort to unseat Walker in yesterday's recall election. Isn't it about time that union bosses listen to what the voters are saying?
Walker won with about 53% of the vote, which means he overperformed when compared to many of the pre-election opinion polls and certainly yesterday's exit polling. Walker's margin of victory may have been higher if you minus out the shenanigans that could have occurred in certain Wisconsin precincts because the state's photo ID law has been blocked for the time being by a liberal judge, even though the U.S. Supreme Court has already upheld photo ID laws in other states.
President Reagan once described his strategy for the Cold War as follows: "We win, they lose." Perhaps the mild-mannered and soft spoken Wisconsin governor nonetheless subscribes to the same philosophy.
This whole mess started when the governor tried to prevent the state from going bankrupt by passing reforms in among other things public sector pay and benefits. Last year, state senate Democrats abandoned their constitutional work stations last year and hid out in Illinois to prevent a vote on the collective bargaining reforms and protesters trashed the state capitol in Madison. The bill, Act 10, was finally voted into law last year.
During the recall campaign, the unions unions never explained why the Wisconsin taxpayer should continue to be bled dry to pay for jacked-up salaries, benefits, and pensions for government workers when everyone else has had to tighten their belts. As explained by the National Review…
The people of Wisconsin have decided to reject the kind of government that rewards organized public employees with perks and promises well beyond those available to the vast majority of Americans working in the private sector. In so doing, they have taken an important step in equalizing the playing field between those holding government jobs and those working in the private economy that supports the government jobs.
Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett, Walker's Democrat foe, according to the Weekly Standard, was unable to name a single public school that was harmed by Walker's collective bargaining reforms. Nor could he name a single policy that he'd try to implement as governor to create jobs.
A Marquette Univ. poll found that 55% of Wisconsin voters now favor restrictions on collective bargaining for public employee unions.
Contrary to doom-and-gloom scenarios, the Weekly Standard further explains that Walker's reforms have been successful:
Walker took office with a projected deficit of $3.6 billion, and in two years he's erased it. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue projected last month that the state will have a budget surplus of $154 million by the summer of 2013.
Restricting public sector collective bargaining freed the state and local governments from the de facto veto unions could exercise over their budgets and allowed taxpayers to ask public employees to contribute more—in some cases to begin contributing something—to their own health care and pension benefits. Before the reforms, most public employee union members paid less than 1 percent of their salary toward their pensions and contributed 6 percent of the cost of their health care premiums. And in fact, Wisconsin public employees still have a good deal—with most contributing 5.8 percent of their salary toward their pension and up to 12.6 percent of their health care premium, well below the averages for the private sector.
Act 10 also ended mandatory public sector union membership and automatic dues deductions. As has been widely reported, once union dues became optional, union membership nose-dived in Wisconsin. The Wall Street Journal has the figures:
Wisconsin membership in the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees—the state's second-largest public-sector union after the National Education Association, which represents teachers—fell to 28,745 in February from 62,818 in March 2011, according to a person who has viewed AFSCME's figures.
Walker's legislation, according to the Journal, also allowed school districts to save millions on health insurance and avoid layoffs:
The Walker reforms have given local school districts the ability to renegotiate union contracts and save money, preventing teacher layoffs. In such communities as Ashland, Kimberly, Baraboo and Appleton, officials were able to dump union-affiliated health insurance plans in favor of cost-saving private competitors.
In endorsing Walker before the election, the generally liberal Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said in part: "…And while we think Act 10 – the law that clipped the wings of most public-employee unions in the state – was an overreach of political power, we understand and supported the need to rein in the state's labor costs."
One of Walker's first orders of business may be to modify the recall law so that it applies only to official misconduct. It would seem that this will attract bipartisan support.
The GOP also won three of four state senate seats yesterday that were up for recall. The other seat appears to be heading for a recount. Even if the Republican loses, the Democrats will only narrowly control the senate for a short time because there will be new election in November which will be based on reconfigured, GOP-friendly districts.
Yesterday's recall cost the Wisconsin taxpayer about $18 million.


Evan Gibbs' puzzle platformer The Big Pig Game is about a cuddly little porker's quest to find pancakes, and the food that powers him along the way. Using [WASD] or the [arrow] keys to move with [K] or [Z] to jump, the goal of each level is to reach the door, though simply waddling to and fro usually isn't enough. The catch is that the food you find and eat bestows different powers on you... grapes allow you to spit seeds with [J] or [X] that can break crates, for instance, while coffee puts some pep in your step and allows you to jump farther and run faster. Just don't touch veggies, since those aren't what our little pig is after, and you'll have to restart the level if you do. The door usually doesn't open until you've gobbled up all the food, but since one food replaces another's special abilities, you'll have to plan your way through, while contending with switches, vanishing platforms, peashooters, and more.
The Big Pig Game sure is adorable in a big way, largely due to the way our little piglet animates. The way he pinwheels in panic on the edge of platforms or drops into a snoozing loaf if you don't move for a bit adds a lot of charm to the package, and the soundtrack and bright colours make it easy on the eyes and ears, too. The pig's movement is a little slow and kludgy, which is maybe understandable for a chubby piggy, but frustrating in situations where you need to move quickly. It may make you wish the game had focused more on playing up its puzzle aspects, since it's fun figuring out how to use your food powers... precision platforming with stubby hooves? Not as much as you'd hope. Still, The Big Pig Game is such a pleasant little package that it's hard not to enjoy it, and creative fun with food like cotton candy makes later levels more clever as you work your way through them. And hey, let's be honest... haven't we all wanted a game where you can dress up a little piggy in different hats? The Big Pig Game is cute, silly, platforming fun, and that's alright by me.
Ah, the majestic pig. One of natures most graceful and delicate creatures.
I really enjoyed the first 30 levels, but I'm giving up on level 31. I wish more platform games used non-linear level progression, so players could enjoy most of the game even if they can't beat one or two levels.
Without eating the cake, jump across to the boxes and let the first two start to shake. Immediately jump back to the cake. Those two boxes below should give you *just* enough platform to jump over to the cake.

That was great! so adorable. The ending made me laugh.
There were a couple of levels that really frustrated me. 31 and 34, I think. Mainly because of pixel perfect platforming on a laptop that struggles to keep with the frame rate is not ideal.

FOEMS

Film+Poems=FOEMS:
Poems for the eyes, ears, and soul: One location. One shot. One take.
"Poetry has always been a sacred language to me because I grew up with a poet by my side. My mother shared poetry and how to see the world poetically throughout my childhood, for which I will always be grateful. Several years ago, my managers encouraged me to start my own performance project and create my own content, but I didn't want to just make another video, adding to the thousands of funny sketches out there. I wanted to put something out there that was not only unique but thoughtful and helpful to those viewing. I asked myself what I might have to offer and poetry came to mind and so, FOEMS was born. Over 100 videos later, I'm proud to have heard from actors, teachers, poets, and students alike from around the world, expressing their appreciation for poetry on film."
We are developing this project to get Poetry into the hands (and onto the iPhone screens) of the next generation.
James Fenton, known as one of the greatest poets of our generation, watched his Foem, "In Paris With You," and wrote "I'm always pleased at the way that poem gets around – and in unexpected versions…Thank you."
Kate Light, responded to her poem's Foem: "I love this! … I always had mixed feelings about the poem, but it's the one that Anthologists often pick, and you made me see why!"

Heidi Klum doesn't give a damn what you think about how much younger her boyfriend is.
Supermodel Heidi Klum just turned 45. Her boyfriend, Tokio Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz, hasn't even hit 30. Does Klum care that her boyfriend was barely alive in the 1980s? Not in the slightest.
In an interview with InStyle, Klum said she doesn't think all that much about her age.
One of the ways she's reminded that she's 45 is what people say to her when they hear she's dating a younger guy.
Does this mean you should start dating somebody 17 years younger or older? I mean, Leonardo DiCaprio certainly likes to date younger women and he's doing fine. Err, I dunno. I'm not saying you shouldn't, I'm saying there are things to consider before dating a younger woman. On the flipside, if you're looking for someone with more wisdom, there are issues with that too. Really, any relationship can work for anyone, but by tacking on an age gap you're likely throwing in some challenges.
If you're looking to find yourself an older gal Heidi Klum, first of all I'll say good luck! Then I'll share a list of the best mature dating sites.
Does she seriously not notice when they grew up in nearly a whole different generation?
A large percentage of Millennials are interested in dating somebody older, according to a recent study.

MCTRS is a volunteer Canadian registered charitable foundation celebrating its 25th year anniversary in 2018. Our mission is to: "improve safer public passage while preserving, protecting and promoting the heritage, historical and environmental features of the 12 km Myra Canyon trestles, tunnels and trail system". These 18 trestles and two tunnels were built between 1912 and 1914.
MCTRS played a vital role in protecting Myra Canyon by successfully lobbying for it to become part of the Myra-Bellevue Provincial Park and also a Canadian National Historic Site. In 2016 over 70,000 global visitors experienced Myra Canyon.
Since 1993, our volunteers added boardwalks and side rails to the trestles, cleared fallen trees, boulders and brush from the trail, added storm shelters and benches, and provided information to visitors – totaling over 40,000 skilled man-hours of volunteer work. Following the devastating 2003 fires, along with BC Parks, MCTRS managed the rebuilding of the 12 burnt wooden trestles and 2 damaged steel trestles, with funding by the Governments of BC and Canada. We then restored the trail and rock faces, and replaced the damaged signage and toilets at our expense.
The trestles, tunnels and trail need maintenance work every year that our volunteers generously provide. MCTRS provides for equipment, tools, insurance, first aid, safety vests and supplies, at an average cost of $30,000 per year. Funds are mostly raised from donations. Tax receipts are provided on donations over $15.
MCTRS was named BC Parks Volunteer Group of the Year for 2016. Each year, we continue our volunteer work of maintaining the trestles, tunnels and trails for Myra Canyon's preservation and for public enjoyment. For this work we always welcome volunteers and ongoing financial support.

The B.C. government is close to releasing its plan to provide "world-leading" prevention and response to land-based oil spills, but that progress isn't enough to change its opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
Environment Minister Mary Polak announced Monday the province's final submission to the federal review of the project confirms it still has not met B.C.'s five conditions for approval of heavy oil pipelines.
Polak said she is preparing to present legislation this spring to establish new standards for land protection, after discussions with Trans Mountain operator Kinder Morgan Canada and other companies. B.C.s final submission to the National Energy Board continues to recommend the pipeline twinning not be approved, but Polak said that is not the final word.
"We have been encouraged by the number of government and industry leaders who have also taken up the challenge and accepted the need to proceed along our five conditions, but we have not at this time seen evidence in the NEB hearing process that those conditions can yet be met," Polak said.
B.C.'s five conditions, presented in 2012, include NEB approval, "world-leading" land and marine spill prevention and response, meeting legal obligations to aboriginal communities and an unspecified "fair share" of provincial benefits from any new heavy oil pipeline project.
Kinder Morgan issued a statement Monday saying it continues to work with B.C., but requirements for aboriginal consultation, spill prevention and revenue sharing can't be met by the company alone.
The NEB is expected to hear intervenor arguments starting Jan. 19 in Burnaby, including affected municipalities. Vancouver is also opposed, arguing that a seven-fold increase in crude oil tanker traffic on Burrard Inlet represents an unacceptable risk.
The Trans Mountain pipeline has been operating one line for 60 years, running from northern Alberta through the B.C. Interior at Kamloops to its marine terminal in Burnaby. A branch line runs south to supply oil refineries on the coast of Washington state, and the pipeline has already been twinned on the Alberta side.
Kinder Morgan is hoping for an NEB decision to recommend proceeding by May. Final approval is up to the federal cabinet.

where do you see that? it still says that they've "expressed interest." ???
Well, yes. They did say that the studio didn't actually say "no", just "not now". Are some of the movies they've done since then been with the same studio? So they might have a better relationship with them by now.

Hey, anyone applied here? everytime I go to apply I get 'The requested campaign is now expired.' is it just too early?
You can't do graduate studies directly at PI, since they are not allowed to grant degrees. Apply through the University of Waterloo, or another partner university.
You can apply directly through PI's website (if they admit you, they will arrange your admission at UW). You might want to contact PI's representative and ask why the link in the website does not work.
Last year (and last year alone), they let students apply directly to PI. Some people got in trouble for it and they took it back.
This year they have a new program for a 1-year masters in theoretical physics, for which you can apply directly through PI (who will then send the app through Waterloo for admission). It's new and on the main page of their website, and is different than a regular graduate program (it's not a PhD program).
Though, PI has been getting a lot of publicity over the past few years, so it's possible that PSI will be extremely competitive; it's hard to gauge.
I had a query regarding Physics GRE subject test. Can u tell me whether the April 4 test date is not available in India? bcoz I dont find India among the list of the centers in the online registration form.
I'm pretty sure only the November test is available in India.

Using P-splines to test the linearity of partially linear models
Chin-Shang Li
The nonparametric component in a partially linear model is estimated by a linear combination of fixed-knot cubic B-splines with a second-order difference penalty on the adjacent B-spline coefficients. The resulting penalized least-squares estimator is used to construct two Wald-type spline-based test statistics for the null hypothesis of the linearity of the nonparametric function. When the number of knots is fixed, the first test statistic asymptotically has the distribution of a linear combination of independent chi-squared random variables, each with one degree of freedom, under the null hypothesis. The smoothing parameter is determined by specifying a value for the asymptotically expected value of the test statistic under the null hypothesis. When the number of knots is fixed and under the null hypothesis, the second test statistic asymptotically has a chi-squared distribution with K = q + 2 degrees of freedom, where q is the number of knots used for estimation. The power performances of the two proposed tests are investigated via simulation experiments, and the practicality of the proposed methodology is illustrated using a real-life data set.

Telfair Museums hires new executive director/CEO
Benjamin T. Simons comes to Savannah from Academy Art Museum in Easton, Maryland
Contact: Jason Kendall
Senior Writer and Public Relations Manager
kendallj@telfair.org
SAVANNAH, GA (November 2, 2020) — Telfair Museums has announced the hiring of a new executive director/CEO who will lead its three sites in Savannah starting in 2021.
Benjamin T. Simons, 50, will join the museum on January 4, 2021. Simons has been the executive director of the Academy Art Museum in Easton, Maryland, since 2016 (https://academyartmuseum.org). Before that, he worked for the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., and for more than a decade at the Nantucket Historical Association in Massachusetts. Simons holds a bachelor's degree from Harvard University, a master's degree in literature from Yale University, and a master's degree in the history of art from the University of London's Courtauld Institute of Art. He is a graduate of the Getty Museum Leadership Institute.
Simons' hiring, which came after a six-month executive search, was made official by Telfair's board of trustees during a special meeting Oct. 30. Robert "Bob" Faircloth has served as Telfair's acting director since the previous director departed in May and will continue in that role for the remainder of 2020.
"While his experience and qualifications are impressive," said Dale Critz Jr., chairman of Telfair's board of trustees, "what stood out to all of us during the hiring process was Ben's passion for art and history, as well as his smart, genial, and outgoing personality. He and his wife, Alison, who is an artist, and their young son enjoyed a wonderful visit with us when Ben came to the museum for his final interview in October, and they're really looking forward to becoming a part of our team and embracing our lifestyle here in Savannah."
At the Academy Art Museum, Simons led a $10 million capital campaign, oversaw major renovations, and attracted notable exhibitions that included work by artists such as Mary Cassatt, Richard Diebenkorn, David Driskell, and Andy Warhol.
"I am honored to take the helm at Telfair Museums and to become a member of Savannah's vibrant and diverse community," Simons said. "Telfair's sterling reputation and its unique focus on art, history, and architecture make this a particularly exciting opportunity for me. The current staff and board have done an admirable job of stewarding the organization through the present public health crisis, and I look forward to leading the organization to continued success in the future."
Telfair hired the firm Phillips Oppenheim to help conduct the search and formed a special search committee led by Critz and Swann Seiler that also included board members Faircloth, Jan Dorman, Josh Keller, Cyreia Sandlin, Vincent West, and community member Don Waters.
About Telfair Museums:
Opened in 1886, Telfair Museums is the oldest public art museum in the South and the first U.S. museum founded by a woman. The museum features a world-class art collection in the heart of Savannah's National Historic Landmark District and encompasses three sites: the Jepson Center for the Arts, the Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters, and the Telfair Academy. Two National Historic Landmarks—the Telfair Academy and the Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters—showcase the complicated history of 18th- and 19th-century Americans, free and enslaved, who lived and toiled in Savannah. The Jepson Center houses the museum's more than 7,000-work permanent collection, including important works of American Impressionism and the Ashcan School; the largest collection of Kahlil Gibran's visual art in the United States; seminal 20th-century photography by Walker Evans, Helen Levitt, and Bruce Davidson; and essential works by contemporary artists in the museum's Kirk Varnedoe Collection.

Q: How to change file timestamp from CMake? I'm generating .pro files for QtCreator from a CMake script. A file in the project is to be generated later using a QMAKE_EXTRA_COMPILERS instruction (the file is re-generated from other ones using an external tool only if it is older than them).

*

*To make sure the file to be generated is imported in QtCreator project without warning, I need to create it (else QtCreator reports warnings while parsing the .pro file).

*To make sure the file gets generated upon first compilation, I need to change the timestamp to be very old (older than any input file used to generate it). This is needed for QMAKE_EXTRA_COMPILERS to consider the file as needing to be re-generated.

To do so, I do:
file(WRITE ${output_file_path} "To be generated..." )
execute_process( COMMAND touch.exe ${output_file_path} -t 0001010101 )

But, the execute_process( COMMAND touch.exe ${output_file_path} -t 0001010101 ) takes a while. I have hundreds of files like that in my project and commenting this execute_process line divides my CMake generation time by 2 (0m45s vs 1m30s). I bet the execution of an external process is slowing things down....
Is there any way to change a file timestamp using pure CMake commands?

A: cmake builtin commands are the preferred way. You can touch files by using:
execute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E touch ${output_file_path} -t 0001010101)

This also works in any platform, independent if linux or windows.
If you have 'hundreds of files' you can touch them in one statement by providing touch command with multiple arguments, thus saving time on running make/build system commands (less dependencies to resolve for cmake build system :) .


Asian Love Connections offers 100% free online dating for both men and women.
I wish I could say that Asian Love Connections offers Japanese dating as well. Japanese men and women are welcome to register, but there aren't a lot of Japanese members on here.
And if you're a Western guy seeking a Japanese wife or girlfriend then your best option is Japan Cupid.
Now I've got that out of the way, what do you need to know about Japanese online dating?
Way back in 2007, I visited Japan for the first time. I saw many things in Japan, but the two things I wanted to take home with me were my hotel's electric toilet, and one of the beautiful Japanese women I'd seen on the streets of Tokyo!
I guess many guys feel the same way as I do, as Japanese girlfriends are highly sought after!
It's not too hard to find a Japanese girlfriend, but it takes a lot of EFFORT.
To chat to Japanese women, try a site like Japan Cupid. You'll need to take out a paid subscription though - you'll get nowhere by only making use of a free standard membership plan. And even with a Gold or Platinum membership plan, you'll have to do most of the chasing. There aren't huge numbers of ladies on there either, and there are certainly less female members on this site compared to Filipino Cupid or Thai Love Links.
Also it requires a lot of MONEY. This is simply because it's expensive to visit Japan, and that is of course the best place to find a Japanese girlfriend in the first place. I was incredibly lucky in that the first time I visited Japan I got over 250 Yen to a UK Pound. After 2008 the exchange rate went to something more like 130 Yen. So that basically means that almost overnight, Japan got twice as expensive for us Brits, and a lot more expensive for most other nationalities to visit.
You'll find that it's hard work trying to woo a Japanese girl. By all accounts you have to put in a lot of effort. Maybe I didn't put in this effort, as I didn't get too much woman success in Japan.
Of course if you want to find a smoking hot Japanese woman, then the effort you'll need to put in will have to be extraordinary.
There's no guarantee of success with Japanese dating either. I've heard many tales of American guys going to teach English in Japan, but not having much success in finding a Japanese wife while they're out there.
As far as looks go, Chinese women are a very close approximation to Japanese women. In fact, having visited both countries four times each, I have to say that Chinese women have the edge when it comes to looks.
I'm not going to mislead you and say Chinese women are anything like Japanese women. However, I've found the Chinese women I've dated to have really nice, friendly personalities and they've been great company.
One huge advantage of Chinese women is that there are so many women to choose from, and it's many times easier to find a Chinese wife than it is a Japanese wife. Chinese women also seem much more open to the possibility of marrying a foreigner. A foreign husband is very much a status symbol in China, in Japan it's less so.
It's even easier to find a Thai or Philippines wife. Of course, Thai or Philippines ladies don't look that similar to Japanese women. However, you'll find that the ladies from either country have really nice and friendly personalities. They're also a lot less spoilt than Japanese or Chinese princesses!
What's more, Thailand and the Philippines have a much lower cost of living than Japan, so your money will go a lot further in either country.
Oh, and it's also worth mentioning South Korea. However, it's not particularly easy to find a Korean bride. There's a slight gender imbalance in Korea, so the most beautiful Korean ladies have plenty of men chasing them!
Below are some single Asian ladies you can chat to for free on Asian Love Connections.
Remember that many Asian ladies do share aspects that you might like about Japanese culture. Cosplay is pretty popular in the Philippines. In fact, one of the World's best known Cosplayers, Alodia Gosiengfiao is actually from the Philippines.
Tea drinking is of course popular all over Asia. You'll also find that there are exotically beautiful Asian ladies in every Asian country. In fact, why not marry an Asian girl from China, Thailand or the Philippines then take her on the trip of a lifetime to Japan?

TULIP THEOLOGY NEXT STOP FOR EMERGING CHURCH?
If Calvin was accurate in his assessment of the gospel, then the example given by Christ, in Luke's parable, is highly inaccurate. Let us consider whether we will trust the mind of Calvin or the New Testament words of Christ.
Luke 14:16 clearly states, "Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:" Calvin would most certainly be in agreement with the New Testament concerning the "certain man." This "certain man" is quite obviously God the Father. The "great supper" is doubtless the marriage supper of the Lamb. God has many times over the course of human history had every element of a return in place with only a willing consent from his people the missing piece of the puzzle.
The "bade many" is the moment of departure for dear Calvin for he must see the "bade many" as irresistibly called, as every call of God is irresistible according to Calvin and thus the confusion begins. However, according to the New Testament this was the original call to the Jews to come to the supper prepared for God's people, lest you stumble at these words, consider what Christ told the woman in Matthew 15:24, "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Therefore we see that the "great supper" is the marriage supper, the "certain man" is God the Father, and the "bade many" is the Jewish nation.
It is apparent from Luke 14:17, "And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready." That the "sent" "servant" is Christ, I believe that Calvin would concede the point without further discussion. Furthermore, the "supper time" referred to is the marriage feast of the Lamb; I do not believe it would be a stretch to say Calvin would agree, as would any knowledgeable bible student.
Also, "them that are bidden" were certainly the Jews; no true scriptural scholar could mount a viable defense. In addition, "all things are now ready" is undoubtedly a reference to the fulfillment of time. God is not bound by our time, but can orchestrate the fulfillment of time as He sees fit.
Obviously, in Luke 14:18, the New Testament states, "And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused." It is here that we begin to tiptoe through the TULIP.
The New Testament concisely states that with "one consent" they "began to make excuse". Notice that while their excuses are varied their excuse is given with one consent. Calvin has no choice at this point but to predetermine resistance to irresistible grace. However, if you can predetermine resistance by its very definition, it is no longer irresistible. Calvin's TULIP is intrinsically flawed for the "great supper" was prepared for a people who made excuse for why they could not attend.
Calvin's gospel is based on an irresistible grace, a grace which CANNOT be RESISTED!!!! The excuses made were a threefold vision of the Jewish nation's perception of their Messiah. "I have bought a piece of ground," Calvin was an Augustinian monk, therefore he viewed the Jews through the eyes of the Roman Church rather than understanding that they were looking for a physical king who would possess a physical land.
Little did these men know if they had accepted the invitation to this "great supper" this Messiah would have possessed the Mount of Olives and a throne in Jerusalem. Every New Testament preacher-past, present and future-knows that the Jewish nation has made excuse after excuse for their rejection of Christ but the Jews center on these three topics as given in the Luke's Gospel.
Luke plainly states in 14:19 "And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused." The excuse made second is, "I have bought five yoke of oxen." Calvin must attribute their rejection to a planned doom; however we know that ultimately Christ will be reunited with the Jewish nation. Consequently, the excuse is the Jewish search for a provisional Messiah. They wanted a king who would meet their physical needs and did not recognize this call to a spiritual supper.
If only they had discerned that the acceptance of this implicit invitation would lead to a provision that would never end. Calvin misunderstands Israel's rejection of their Messiah. They were looking for a Messiah who would provide for their physical needs not their spiritual eternity.
The New Testament preacher recognizes this as not only a Jewish problem but a human problem, as well. Man is in search of a physical saviour and oft times misses the Saviour in their pursuit.
Discernibly, here in Luke 14:20, "And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come." The New Testament is clear as to the third excuse given, "I have married a wife." Calvin is left with no choice but for a third time to insist that irresistible grace has been predetermined to be resisted.
Calvin is once again led astray by his years as an Augustinian Monk. He continues to look at Israel through the eyes of the Roman Church, rather than seeing her through the eyes of the New Testament Church.
Likewise, the New Testament is evident in that this is a reinforcement of the claim of the Saviour in Luke 14:26, "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Don't quibble at this dear Calvin, when you would force irresistible grace upon an unwelcoming man.
Without doubt, as the Scripture states in Luke 14:21, "So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind." Let us consider the statements made in three parts. Part first, "Came, and shewed" Why would the servant have to shew the Lord a matter He would already have been privy too, had predestination been the order of the day? Part Second, "the master……being angry" Why would the Master then be angry if He had predetermined their resistance to His irresistible grace? Part Third, "Go out quickly" why would time be of the essence if predetermination were at play?
It is here Calvin's doctrine begins to really fall apart. You see Calvin's doctrine hides behind a guise of false piety. I am saved by perfect repentance because my repentance is not my own but is God's repentance placed in me by irresistible grace. (said with the deepest piety). As you listen to a Calvinist speak you will find yourself drawn deeper and deeper into a pool of their own haughty piety. They literally will speak of humility with pride.
They do not think of themselves as poor, maimed, halt or blind. They do not think of themselves as having been in the streets and lanes of life and having been without hope because they were always predestined to come to Christ. As we search on in the scriptures it says, "bring in" nothing is spoke of predestination, but of "bring"ing (human effort i.e. soul-winning) in. So, my dear Calvinist, friends let us be swept up in the effort.
New Testament doctrine shines anew with sparkling glory every time you read this parable, for it is here that we see where we, undeservingly, got in on a feast not prepared for us. We were in the streets and lanes of life, wandering aimless completely unaware that we were destined for an eternal hell, but Christ came looking for us.
He sent a soul-winner our way to tell us of his wondrous sacrifice for our sins. Who told us, Romans 10:13, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved," and we called, and lo, and; behold we were saved, and welcomed to the table not prepared for us, but now a feast we can call our own.
Ostensibly, in Luke 14:22, "And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room" the servant is in a quandary as to how to fill the remaining seats. Consider this from Calvin's doctrine, it would make no sense whatsoever, how can there be room at a table prepared for a predestined number?
It is okay, I'll wait……. I can wait from now till eternity for an answer to that question from any Calvinist I know and they will never answer because they don't have an answer. It is akin to the foolishness of the addition to the question of the "Whosoever Gospel." If you are in any way new to this discussion, at some point you will be hit with this insanely puerile line from some overly scholaresque individual.
"The Bible does clearly say, "Whosoever will may come," but "WHOSOEVER WILL WANT TO COME?????" Usually said with an odd air of superiority and a goofy eyebrow raise. They then launch into a long dissertation getting further and further from their responsibility in soul-winning. The ones that will want to come are the ones that we tell that is the answer to their puerile question.
Back to the subject at hand, the New Testament has an answer to the initial question. The New Testament answer is this…………..That there is no predestined number and there is still room.
Hey!!!!!!!!!!!! Dear Christian, There is still room for Your Mom, Your Dad, Your Aunt, Your Uncle, Your Son, You Daughter, Your Friend, there is still room for "The Poor, and The Maimed, and The Halt, and The Blind." MAY WE NEVER FORGET THERE IS STILL ROOOMMMM!!!!!
Incontrovertibly, the scripture states in Luke 14:23, "And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." As though Calvin had not suffered quite enough by this point, we must go on to put the finishing touches on his erroneous Gospel. "Compel them to come in," why "compel," they are predestined are they not? If a soul is predestined to come to Christ what need is there of "compel"ling them to come to a supper they can't possibly miss?
I won't wait for an answer to a question that has no answer. Calvin cannot possibly provide an answer for this far sighted question you see this question is backed with the concept of filling the house. Calvin was only concerned with his four and no more, as Calvin was a Covenant Theologian. The New Testament once again provides an answer where Calvin fails. "Go out into the highways and hedges," why "the highways and hedges?" because that is where those in need of a Saviour are to be found.
No one is ever ready till we tell them. The Gospel is not always easily accepted but we must compel them to accept it by our personality, preparation, and perspiration.
Time and again God prepared a table for Israel which they rejected and therefore never tasted of. Example-He made them wander for forty years in the wilderness to ensure that not one person that he had prepared a table for would taste of it. Accept the call to the table today because, Oh, what a feast it will be!!!
In reflection, Calvin's problem was that he never was quite able to separate himself from the Roman view of Scripture. While I believe he was saved, he was wholly inadequate to write doctrinal dissertations of Scripture. Before you begin to impetuously chase after an Augustinian monk's writings of Scriptural doctrine consider some discerning thoughts from the mind of a respectful reader.
Were there no doctrinally correct churches when Calvin realized Rome's error? Why didn't Calvin seek out a new doctrinal advisor rather than attempt to continue to chase his own opinions headlong. Could he not see that was what had lead to Rome's folly? Why did Calvin establish his own state held church rather than a New Testament Church? Why would a New Testament Church pastor bow the knee to an Augustinian monk on a matter as important as salvation by grace?
I contend Christ's example, as found here in Luke's Gospel, is completely accurate. It is a warning not to reject the call, it is a reminder of how you received the call and it is an encouragement to herald the call.


Method, strategy, tactics, formulas… None, all by themselves, will save. Christ Jesus saves in relationship with the soul who yearns for salvation, the community of those who also yearn in baptismal newness of life, a universe of people who are indifferent and/or intensely opposed to this work who are, none the less, positive participants in salvation by virtue of the redemptive power of God's love. I could point out more of the facets of this ongoing work of salvation but you probably get the idea.
This is Mystery. This is relationship. This defies the either/or linear model of "cause and effect" of "faith vs. works" and all the rest.
This is way bigger than what I can manage. And it is exactingly designed for me to perfectly participate because I cannot manage it but must participate by offering – mysteriously — trusting surrender and persevering effort. In an essential way not only do I participate in my own salvation but I also participate in the salvation of others as well.
The matrix of prayer, scripture, mystical fellowship, ministry, witness, sacrament, iconography, obedience to our spiritual father, fasting, almsgiving, etc. offer an organic environment for this Mystery of salvation. Let me focus, briefly, on one aspect of it.
The "both and" of our work and the work of God. The conflict between who does the work – God or me – or how much does God do in proportion to how much I do and vice versa is a false conflict. There is no such conflict. To be sure, we can make it a conflict but that is not God's design for the relationship between "His work" and "my" and "our" work.
There is no such thing as an "equilibrium" or "creative tension" or any such other label that describes the relationship. Those conceptualizations so easily reduce persons to projects and objects of our concern and dedication. If the person is to remain a person I have to relate not formulate.
There is living union without separation and without confusion between persons. There is the Mystery of the power of a healthy marriage of love between God and me. But, even that is not right because I used the word "me." In point of fact, "my" salvation is yours as well. And, likewise, yours is mine as well. This brings up the whole issue of obedience. Obedience is more than "doing what you are told." It is about entering into the truth of the interrelatedness of our salvation as persons (without separation and without confusion).
Now, of course, if heard in a linear, formulaic context, such a statement is problematic. Rightly so in such a context. But, the truth of the statement cannot be understood using that paradigm of understanding. That is why so many of the sayings of Jesus from an earthly point of view, make no sense.
The "sense" of it is the sense of the heart first and foremost not the sense of the head. It is noetic in nature first and foremost rather than rational first and foremost.
68. No one among us can prevail by his own unaided strength over the devices and wiles of the evil one; he can prevail only through the invincible power of Christ. Vainly, therefore, do conceited people wander about claiming that they have abolished sin through their ascetic accomplishments and their free will. Sin is abolished only through the grace of God, for it was made dead through the mystery of the Cross.
This is why that luminary of the Church, St John Chrysostom, says: 'A man's readiness and commitment are not enough if he does not enjoy help from above as well; equally help from above is no benefit to us unless there is also commitment and readiness on our part. These two facts are proved by Judas and Peter. For although Judas enjoyed much help, it was of no benefit to him, since he had no desire for it and contributed nothing from himself. But Peter, although willing and ready, fell because he enjoyed no help from above. So holiness is woven of these two strands. Thus I entreat you neither to entrust everything to God and then fall asleep, nor to think, when you are striving diligently, that you will achieve everything by your own efforts.
69. 'God does not want us to be lying idly on our backs; therefore He does not effect everything Himself. Nor does He want us to be boastful; therefore He did not give us everything. But having taken away from each of the two alternatives what is harmful, He has left us what is for our good.' Truly does the psalmist say: 'Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain that build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain' (Ps. 127:1). For it is impossible to tread on the asp and basilisk and trample on the lion and dragon' (Ps. 91:13. LXX), unless you have first cleansed yourself as far as you can, and have been strengthened by Him who said to the apostles: 'See, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and on all the enemy's power' (Luke 10:19). It is on this account that we have been commanded to entreat the Master not to 'lead us into temptation, but to deliver us from the evil one' (Matt. 6:13). For if we are not delivered from 'the fiery arrows of the evil one' (Eph.
6:16) through the power and help of Christ, and found worthy of attaining dispassion, we are laboring in vain, thinking that through our own powers or efforts we shall accomplish something. Therefore, he who wishes 'to stand against the wiles of the devil' (Eph. 6:11) and render them ineffectual, and to share in the divine glory, ought day and night to seek God's help and divine succor with tears and sighs, with insatiable longing and fire in his soul. He who wishes to share in this glory purges his soul of all worldly pleasures and of hostile passions and desires. It is of such souls that God Speaks when He says: 'I will dwell in them' (2 Cor. 6:16). And the Lord said to His disciples: 'if a man loves Me, he will keep My commandments; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and take up Our abode with him' (John 14:23).
82. Love has fittingly been called the citadel of the virtues, the sum of the Law and the prophets (cf. Matt. 22:40; Rom. 13:10). So let us make every effort until we attain it. Through love we shall shake off the tyranny of the passions and rise to heaven, lifted up on the wings of the virtues; and we shall see God, so far as this is possible for human nature. St Theodoros the Great Ascetic A Century of Spiritual Texts, The Philokalia, Volume 2.
From the moment when your heart starts to be kindled with divine warmth your inner transformation will properly begin. This slight flame will in time consume and melt everything within you, it will begin and continue to spiritualize your being to the full. Indeed, until this flame starts to burn, there will be no spiritualization, in spite of all your strivings to achieve it. Thus the engendering of its first flicker is all that matters at this moment, and to this end be sure to direct all your efforts.
** A couple of phrases from "Pray as you go" for Saturday, March 1, 2014 were used to craft this statement.
I posted previously that the goal of Great Lent is an increase of love. Lent transforms us into not only the vessel of love but love Himself, by grace. Easter/Pascha is the fulfillment of Lent just as Lent is the precursor of Easter/Pascha. They are an organic whole without separation and without confusion.
So, the promise of Lent is the risk of Lent.
Lent is costly in terms of the disciplines to be sure. But it is even more costly in terms of the Spirit's agenda – lived love, manifest love, love given and received.
"Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good morning.
There are very specific signals for understanding how we are living this, how we experience the Eucharist; signals that tell us if we are living the Eucharist in a good way or not very well. The first indicator is our way of looking at or considering others. In the Eucharist, Christ is always renewing his gift of self, which he made on the Cross. His whole life is an act of total sharing of self out of love; thus, he loved to be with his disciples and with the people whom he had a chance to know. This meant for him sharing in their aspirations, their problems, what stirred their soul and their life. Now we, when participating in Holy Mass, we find ourselves with all sorts of men and women: young people, the elderly, children; poor and well-off; locals and strangers alike; people with their families and people who are alone…. But the Eucharist which I celebrate, does it lead me to truly feel they are all like brothers and sisters? Does it increase my capacity to rejoice with those who are rejoicing and cry with those who are crying? Does it urge me to go out to the poor, the sick, the marginalized? Does it help me to recognize in theirs the face of Jesus? We all go to Mass because we love Jesus and we want to share, through the Eucharist, in his passion and his resurrection. But do we love, as Jesus wishes, those brothers and sisters who are the most needy? For example, in Rome these days we have seen much social discomfort either due to the rain, which has caused so much damage to entire districts, or because of the lack of work, a consequence of the global economic crisis. I wonder, and each one of us should wonder: I who go to Mass, how do I live this? Do I try to help, to approach and pray for those in difficulty? Or am I a little indifferent? Or perhaps do I just want to talk: did you see how this or that one is dressed? Sometimes this happens after Mass and it should not! We must concern ourselves with our brothers and sisters who need us because of an illness, a problem. Today, it would do us such good to think of these brothers and sisters of ours who are beset by these problems here in Rome: problems that stem from the grave situation caused by the rain and social instability and unemployment. Let us ask Jesus, whom we receive in the Eucharist, to help us to help them.


How Are Blood Disorders Diagnosed?
The first step in diagnosing any blood disorder is to perform a complete blood count. A phlebotomist will collect withdraw a small sample of your blood in the lab. Technicians will then count the number of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets in the sample. They will also note whether any of the cells appear to malformed (in sickle cell anemia, red blood cells are sickle-shaped rather than round).
Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells, and the number of them in your blood indicates whether your body is producing an adequate supply of mature blood cells.
Clotting abnormalities can be caused by a number of disorders, from a lack of platelets to a late of the proteins, or clotting factors, necessary for clotting. The prothrombin time (PT) and the partial thromboplastin time (PTT) measure how long it takes for the liquid portion of your blood to clot.
Certain proteins are an essential part of the production of new blood cells. If your body is not producing the quantity of blood cells that it should, your doctor may look at your blood or urine for evidence of unusual proteins or antibodies.
Because your blood cells are produced inside your bones, bone marrow samples can help your doctor determine why your blood cells are abnormal, why there are too many of them, or why there are too few. Samples are usually collected from the hipbone, and a local anesthetic is required to numb the skin and bone tissue. The procedure is slightly painful but lasts only a few minutes.

Discussion in 'Forum software usage' started by eva2000, Aug 1, 2015.
With Centmin Mod 1.2.3-eva2000.08 stable release out now, it's time to revisit NodeBB install and setup. NodeBB is a node.js based open source forum software which can use either Redis or MongoDB for backend database. NodeBB official support forums are at https://community.nodebb.org/.
I posted a redisinfo.sh script on NodeBB forums ages back that might be useful along with some Redis information.
These instructions follow the official NodeBB documentation for CentOS install.
To install NodeBB forums on Centmin Mod LEMP stack, you first need to install all the required software including Node.js and Redis at least.
Centmin Mod has an Phusion Passenger Addon which installs Phusion Passenger required software which includes npm, Node.js, Ruby, Rubygems, Rails so running that addon would take care of the requirements first. Centmin Mod already has installed git and ImageMagick required packages.
Run Phusion Passenger Addon from Centmin Mod install directory's addons/passenger.sh directory. The cmdir shortcut alias will change you to Centmin Mod install directory at /usr/local/src/centminmod.
Install Redis server via YUM. Centmin Mod's 3rd party YUM repos will take care of this by using Remi YUM repo for Redis 3.x.
Setup the domain Nginx vhost where you want NodeBB installed on i.e. newdomain.com. You can follow Getting Started Item 2 or the Nginx vhost setup guide page.
Then to setup Nginx vhost for newdomain.com to be able to use Nginx to proxy the NodeBB installation on port 4567. If you setup newdomain.com via centmin.sh menu option 2 or via /usr/bin/nv with SSL enabled you would have 2 Nginx vhost files to edit.
Example Phusion Passenger Addon install output near the end of the script's completion. It will also post the version info for software installed.
Rubygems 2.4.8 already available in installed ruby, skipping installation, use --force to reinstall.
*** WARNING: The Apache executable cannot be found.
Please set the APXS2 environment variable to your 'apxs2' executable's filename, or set the HTTPD environment variable to your 'httpd' or 'apache2' executable's filename.
This script only installs passenger, node.js, ruby, rails, rubygem and is provided as is.
The Nginx Passenger setup instructions are not needed for NodeBB unless you want to enable Phusion Passenger Nginx module support in Nginx.
Replace MYFTPUSERNAME with your desired Pure-FTPD virtual FTP username.

This looks like a new installation, so you'll have to answer a few questions about your environment before we can proceed.
Press enter to accept the default setting (shown in brackets).
The npm install can take quite a long time it seems and is quite length so posted a gist for npm install output here..

Would like to try this for new domain.
same method if you just want domain.com/community ?
i believe you still do the install to /what/ever/path/nodebb then do the proxy path from the local port etc?
I wasnt able to get it up and running on 1.2.3-eva2000.08 using the method above, seems node.js and npm is way out of date for the latest nodebb release.
on 123.09beta01 no issues with the overall setup of nodebb, just needed to spin up another instance to play with it.

MALKIN: The theory of political relative relativity

It's quite simple: Some political relatives are more equal than others.
Agenda-driven journalists love to exploit familial dysfunction when a prominent politician is conservative and his or her kinfolk espouse liberal views. When a vengeful offspring, sibling, cousin or distant relation wants to wreak havoc, instant fame and adoration are just a tweet or call away. The media schadenfreude over such bloody bloodline battles is thicker than California wildfire smoke.
By contrast, relatives who openly challenge powerful Democrats are dismissed as gadflies and publicity hounds. Remember when Barack Obama's half-brother Malik criticized his younger sibling over his coddling of corrupt Hillary Clinton, support for gay marriage and inattention to Kenya and his family overseas?
Left-wing Vox responded by calling Malik a "somewhat scammy opportunist." A GQ writer decried "the inherent seediness of on-screen family dysfunction," declared that "Malik has nothing to do with anything," and condemned the "nonsensical stunt." The Huffington Post was befuddled that Donald Trump invited Malik to the third presidential debate "for no reason at all."
And Slate wrote: "Ugh."
By contrast, the anti-Trump media's favourite political family feuder this week was Dr. David Glosser, a retired neuropsychologist and outspoken liberal. On Monday, he penned a seething attack for Politico on his staunch conservative nephew, White House senior advisor Stephen Miller. An emotion-laden Glosser vented: "I have watched with dismay and increasing horror as my nephew, who is an educated man and well aware of his heritage, has become the architect of immigration policies that repudiate the very foundation of our family's life in this country."
Immediately after publication and full-tilt Politico hype across social media, Glosser made the rounds on CNN and MSNBC. The latter network's resident mouth-foamer Lawrence O'Donnell praised the "eloquent" uncle and dubbed him a new "leader of the resistance." New York Times contributor Wajahat Ali called Dr. Glosser "brilliant." CNN's Kyung Lah, magazine magnate Bonnie Fuller, and identity politics journalist Maria Hinojosa all raved that Glosser's hit piece against his sister's son was "must-read."
Beyond his own personal history and volunteer work, Glosser has no expertise in immigration law or analytical understanding of the systemic impact of our immigration failures on American sovereignty, well-being and economic determination.
Miller, by contrast, spent a dozen years on Capitol Hill mastering every aspect of immigration policy — border security, sanctuary cities, deportation, asylum and refugee programs, and the impact of foreign guest worker visas on wages, for starters — before taking on a senior policy adviser role for the Trump transition team and White House. He is a longtime vocal proponent of serious, comprehensive immigration enforcement reform from top to bottom — including a long overdue rethinking of our chain migration system, which rewards familial ties over merit and skills.
Glosser thinks that by pointing out that their family entered America through chain migration, Miller is somehow an "immigration hypocrite." This is one of the most inane arguments of the open borders lobby. And there's a lot of inanity to choose from, my friends.
Just because you benefit from a certain government policy, it doesn't mean you should be obligated to support that policy in perpetuity. The nation's modern chain migration system was formally created in 1952 and expanded radically by Congress in 1965 and 1990. New immigrants can now sponsor their entire extended families: parents, spouses, adult children and their children, and siblings and their children. The unrelenting influx has undermined the federal government's ability to properly vet new immigrants, police fraud, prioritize skilled labour and assimilate chain beneficiaries.
Good-faith disagreement is one thing. But Glosser's diatribes are so filled with rage that I get the sense his animosity is rooted in something far deeper than ideological dissent. Families are like that, whether they include famous public figures in them or not. So why is it that the high and mighty arbiters of "news" bestow some relatives with absolute moral authority while others are summarily dismissed as attention-seekers?
That's the theory of political relative relativity in action, proving the irrefutable existence of media bias, operating under the insufferable pretense of neutrality.
To quote the Slate snobs right back at them: Ugh.
