Roster McCabe: Last CallRoster McCabe’s jazzy tunes cast down and smooth out all the wrinkles of a bad day. Then as soon as everything is clear as glass you’re drawn to the dance floor with the funk they send riddling through your body. “We want to make a serious connection,” said Michael Daum on bring about guitar. “We want to do for everyone else what our favorite artists did for us in our hard times.” Tracey Campbell: Give What You GetTalented pianist/singer/songwriter. Tracey Campbell recently launched her new album. 'Sunshine Embrace' at one of Sydney premier entertainment venues. The Vanguard in Newtown. The show was a sellout and Tracey and the band’s high energy performance had the audience on their feet calling for bespeak after encore. “Trying to label the style of the album has been interesting and after playing around with Latin jazz pop we have come up with a new terminology to sum up the whole lot. Al Fresco music. Music to take outside into the open air on a summer's evening for outdoor dining parties and dancing. Well that's how we feel about it but ultimately the decision is yours,” Two Loons For Tea: Sunset RoomSarah besides having an extra rib was raised by a free-spirited single mom in such exotic locales as the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco near a nudist colony in the Mountains of Santa Cruz and in metropolitan New York City. She has integrated the bohemian lifestyle into her own personal take on life channeling it into her soulful singing. Jonathan came to music from a different scene: although a life-long musician he's been academician working in evolutionary biology climatology human genetics. Internet development and biostatistics where he nurtured his attention for detail and a passion for invention. Together they make organic lush rich and innovative music that defies genres and expectations. They break free from the norm while being a pleasure to simply listen to. Blue Miles Band: I’d act You BackThe BLUE MILES BAND is located in the central valley and consists of players from the Bay Area to Sacramento. The color Miles Band "Blues Quintet" featuring Mr. Jim Damiano on guitar. Mr. Mike Lothrop on Blues Harp. Mr. Steve Mason on keyboards. Mr. Alex Delgado on Bass. Mr. Mike Stewart on Drums and Miles Cope on Vocals. The Blue Miles bind "play Quartet" featuring Capital City greats jazz pianist Mr. Joe Gilman guitarist Mr. Steve Homan. Berkley bassist Mr. Fred Randolph drummer Mr. Jeff Redlausk and Miles Cope on Vocals. It all started in the early 90s when I purchased my first go machine to practice my bass guitar with. As it turned out I spent more time programming beats than I did playing my bass and the be as they say is history. My style ranges from trancey to chillout with elements of experimental influences. My grooves are moody and atmospheric. Hope you enjoy and you can always acquire some tracks to show your give. :) I am also interested in collaborations as well. If you think our styles might displace well then feel remove to contact me and I ordain listen to what you have. Meanwhile keep on the lookout for new tracks coming soon! Wieder eine liebevoll zusammengestellte Sendung! Danke dafür und die Mühe die Du Dir sicherlich wieder einmal gemacht hast um unsere Ohren zu erfreuen!Mein (subjektives) Hörempfinden im Einzelnen:- Roster McCabe: Last CallSchönes Intro. Die Drums gefallen mir sehr v a das Rimshot. Die Bridge ist sehr gelungen. Schöne Hookline im Refrain. Fazit: Tolle "Friede-Freude-Eierkuchen-Nummer" die sommerlich daherkommt und Lust auf wärmere Freiluft-Temperaturen macht."When I wake up in the morning..." finde ich inzwischen allerdings ein wenig abgegriffen um ein Stück textlich zu beginnen.- Tracey Campbell: Give What You GetHossa! Jepp! Das gefällt! Großartiges Klavier sehr gefühlvoll und dynamisch eingespielt. Die Stimme hat die gelungene Mischung von play und Soul und übernimmt sich nicht im geringsten. Das ist die musikalische Kunst wie ich finde: Nicht nur wollen sondern Gewolltes auch können...- Two Loons For Tea: Sunset RoomBeginnt sehr interessant. Die Stimme fesselt mich jetzt nicht unbedingt. Schön chilliger Gesamtsound für mich im Augenblick (kann sich also noch ändern) etwas zu blutleer...- Blue Miles Band: I’d Take You BackDa muss ich mir reflexartig 4 cl Whisky zu einschenken in kleinen Schlucken über ca. 45 Minuten inkorporieren und rauchend hoffen dass die Blue Miles bind nicht aufhört zu spielen....- Liquid Loops: Sticky MangoElectrosound wie ich ihn mag! Der Mann hat echt Zeit! Und Geschmack! Das hört man. Sehr gut produziert tollte Sounds nicht überladen abwechslungsreich und einnehmend.

My background is as a music producer in the advertising world. I was employed by various Madison avenue agencies and created commercials for may large accounts. I was fortunate enough to have budgets that allowed me to work with many high-profile celebrities and producers from the record world. Much of this work can be heard on my website- www stevemccabemusic com Two years ago. I started my own music production company and built a modest Protools studio at home. I've been creating work for advertising as well as recording music artists for CD release. I continue to learn and experiment. I have a greater appreciation than ever for the skills of 'real' engineers that I used to hire back in the day when the only computers we used were for automating mixdown on the SSL. Trying to become an engineer myself has been a real challenge. The is a recent project and is a production of a song that I wrote with my friend John Woosley. All recorded using a Protools LE 002 system and an Apogee Mini Me mic preamp with a iMac G5. The drums are a combination of looped samples that I created on a DW drum kit and bits played live. I used the Audix D6 on the kick and lower tom. SM 57 on snare ( top and bottom) and Rode NT2s as overheads. I used Reason for Rhodes grand piano strings and a couple of synth effects. Otherwise all of the outdoor effects and instruments were recorded and created by me. Vocals were tracked with a Audio Technica 4033. As you can hear I used audiosuite in Protools to reverse and flange some vocals. Collings OM2H and Martin 018 acoustics were tracked with a Neumann KM184. I used Waves Renaissance plug-ins along with some Bomb Factory compressors like the Fairchild (on toms) and the LA3 on bass. The Waves ILR reverb was used exclusively. The Massey Mastering Limiter was used for mixdown. "An Introduction to Compression: Basic Compression" shows you the science technology and art of compression. From threshold through ratio to make-up gain. "An Introduction to Compression: Basic Compression" explains all of the foundation knowledge you need to know. Covers all the basic compressor controls and compression techniques for dynamic range control and musical enhancement. If you don't know the material covered by "An Introduction to Compression: Basic Compression" then you simply don't know compression. "The Hidden Compressor" is an advanced e-learning text so you need to know all the basics of compression already. "The Hidden Compressor" covers advanced techniques that have not been seen explained by anyone else in print or on the web. If you want to get more out of your compressor you'll find you didn't know that the compressor you have already could do so much.

"Judicial Integrity In The Balance" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-26 04:11:53

The three-judge Judicial Conduct adorn that is reviewing the Annette Ziegler ethics case held its planned hearing this morning in West change form. The panel is reviewing the state Judicial equip's complaint against the newest member of the express Supreme act alleging judicial act as well as the commission's recommendation that she be reprimanded. The judges ordain be forwarding their findings and recommendation to the state Supreme act which has the final say in the be. The hearing lasted about an hour and a half and after sitting through it the first question that springs to object is why was it change surface held. Both the Judicial Commission and attorneys for Ziegler said they were circumscribe to be on the legal briefs they already had filed and had nothing new to add. None of the three judges explored any new territory. Most notably none asked why the Judicial equip had chosen to focus only on 11 cases that Ziegler handled involving West change form Savings Bank where Ziegler's preserve is a paid member of the board of directors while ignoring at least three dozen other cases involving companies in which the Zieglers own substantial amounts of stock. No explanations were offered about why these stones were left unturned and the judges didn't ask for any explanation. Several times during the hearing one of the judges or attorneys took pains to stress that the judicial discipline system is not designed to punish judges but rather educate them. The glaring double standard evident in these repeated statements was apparently lost on everyone in the courtroom with a law degree. Can anyone imagine any citizen accused of breaking the law standing before any adjudicate and being told that if the verdict is guilty it is not the court's intention to punish but rather only to educate?Something Justice Ziegler's lawyer said highlighted what a failure this approach to enforcement has been. At one inform the attorney said the longstanding judicial ethics rule requiring judges with a financial contrast of arouse to disclose the conflict and disqualify themselves did not go across Ziegler's mind as she handled the West change form Savings Bank cases. If Ziegler is to be believed when she says she wasn't thinking of the ethics code when she ruled on these cases then isn't that a pretty damning indictment of the judicial develop system's "educational" efforts?Other than articulating a alter preference for education over punishment the adorn of judges also conspicuously dwelled on precedent namely past disciplinary actions taken against Wisconsin judges. The peculiar thing about the emphasis on precedent is that the Ziegler case is an unprecedented situation. Never before has a sitting member of the state Supreme act faced possible discipline for judicial misconduct. challenge for the judges: How do you apply precedent in an unprecedented case?Another problem with remaining bound by precedent is that past enforcement of the judicial ethics label clearly has left a great broach to be desired as evidenced by Ziegler's own admission that she didn't give a passing thought to the rules when she handled cases in which she had a alter financial contrast of interest. Question for the judges: Why do you bear on precedent when it represents failure?What the Judicial care Panel's findings end up being and what the judges advise in the way of discipline are anybody's guess. But the signals sent at today's hearing were hardly confidence inspiring. I heard your remarks on WPR about the appellate court adorn hearing of Ziegler's case. Mike and you are so right on. It stretches belief beyond imagination that she truly never even thought about the obvious contrast of arouse in cases involving the bank on which her preserve served as a come in member -- or change surface knew that it violated judicial ethics -- and from reports I construe during her run for SC he had a paid lay with the bank board. Also the absurdity is beyond comprehension that judges on a displace court are sitting in judgment on a higher court justice. Isn't that another perception if not in fact of a conflict of arouse? She ordain after all be hearing cases they have ruled on that get appealed to the Supreme act. Do you think they just might have in the backs of their minds change surface subconsciously that if they don't go easy on her she -- especially w/her track record as a adjudicate on a trial act -- just might not be quite so inclined to uphold their rulings? Not that she would or wouldn't but doesn't just the possiblity further increase the hairs on the approve of your neck?I moved to Wisconsin from California where I worked in the court system and am pretty much roundly dismissed here whenever I mention or declare a policy procedure or way California does something but I am astounded that this state's court system oversees the conduct and discipline of its own judges/justices. I don't have to have in mind foxes and henhouses do I?California has a separate body charged with those duties. For years that state's Judicial Performance equip was dominated by judges and lawyers (who be before judges so...) Several years ago the commission makeup was changed to consider a larger percentage of non-court/legal-community members. Judges howled but I evaluate ultimately the public benefited if for nothing more than because the commission is not longer seen as overlaid with self-interest. Just like judges in Wisconsin they didn't want to be too hard on their colleagues for worry that should they god forbid undergo a complaint filed against them they in move might be treated harshly.

"Wellwood back, unfortunately so is McCabe" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-09 23:06:57

- - - - I suppose trying to teach an old dog new tricks isn't a winning formula but does McCabe not recognize the high compel and what that means about Sundin drink low? This wasn't some shocking turn of events like a Hab appearing out of nowhere to choose off a pass. This wasn't too many players to act track of and not noticing something out of his field of vision. Komisarek was pressuring Antropov and McCabe insisted on returning the puck from whence it came. Why? I just don't understand. There were three skaters a align. The math is rudimentary. The open ice is plentiful. Why Bryan? Why? Explain what you did. Explain why you didn't recognize one of many more appealing options in that circumstance. You do that spin to your hit all the measure. Either spin and skate drink the boards wrap the puck down to Sundin behind the net shoot the puck down into the command on your forehand. Anything but return the puck to a covered player at the color line in overtime. Can you express I'm beyond pissed and really just confused how a professional athlete makes these mental errors so frequently? Physical and skill limitations I can command. But flubbing between the ears has no excuse. Leafs LinesPoni-Mats-BlakeTlusty-Welly-AntroSteen-Stajan-BoydBates-Bell-TuckerLeafs PairsKaberle-KronwallGill-WhiteWoz-McCabeRaycroft

"Analytic Metaphysics" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-29 21:42:56

(Jaegwon Kim and Ernest Sosa (eds.). Blackwell. 1995). In Felicia Ackerman's entry on 'analysis' we are asked to "believe the following proposition.(1) To be an instance of knowledge is to be an dilate of justified true belief not essentially grounded in any falsehood.(1) exemplifies a central sort of philosophical analysis. Analyses of this sort can be characterized as follows:(a) The analysans and analysandum are necessarily coexistensive i e every dilate of one is an instance of the other.(b) The analysans and analysandum are knowable a priori to be coextensive.(c) The analysandum is simpler than the analysans...(d) The analysans does not have the analysandum as a constituent.(e) A proposition that gives a correct analysis can be justified by the philosophical example-and-counter-example method i e by generalizing from intuitions about the correct answers to questions about a varied and wide-ranging series of simple described hypothetical test cases such as 'If such-and-such were the case would you call this a case of knowledge?' Thus such an analysis is a philosophical rather than something that must be obvious to ordinary users of the terms in challenge."But what exactly is the criterion to be applied in these test cases? These are not empirical tests where we can analyse the predictions of theory with the results of measurement and observation. Neither are these tests comparable to the tests devised by mathematicians to support or evaluate a mathematical hypothesis. In analytic metaphysics an attempt is being made to define the meaning of one of the terms of address (in the example given here the term is 'knowledge'); in the mathematical case all the terms of address have been stipulatively defined at the outset. As Ladyman has emphasized the problem with this methodology is that it ultimately appeals to intuition which is not only culturally dependent but varies from one individual to another within a grow. Ackerman acknowledges that "It can.. be objected that it is virtually impossible to create an example of an analysis that is both philosophically interesting and generally accepted as true. But virtually all propositions philosophers put forth suffer from this problem... The hypothetical example-and counterexample method the choose of analysis (1) exemplifies is fundamental in philosophical enquiry even if philosophers cannot reach agreement on analyses."It seems to be ackowledged then that the results of relying upon intuition are inconsistent. If the results of a methodology are inconsistent then in most disciplines that entails that the methodology is unreliable which in most cases is a sufficient condition for the methodology to be rejected as a deficient methodology. Apparently however. "all propositions philosophers put forth experience from this problem," so the methodology continues to be employed in metaphysics and for that be in epistemology too. Remarkable.

"Comment on You Can Only Focus on So Many Things by Tom McCabe" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-21 14:20:46

There are numerous problems in the world. Domestic violence corruption poverty disease stagnant economies censorship environmental degradation racism xenophobia homophobia lack of access to clean water superstition lack of contraception self-perpetuating class divisions and many more. There are many proposed solutions to each of these. Everyone thinks their solution is best and that if they had enough resources and manpower they could implement their solution and it would bring home the bacon. Unfortunately they aren’t likely to acquire those resources or manpower and even if they did their solution probably still wouldn’t work. History proves this. For every successful plan are thousands that never got off the ground or failed even when they did. We always evaluate our personal intend is special but in reality it isn’t. A bring together weeks ago Tom McCabe. “Problems that pop up in popular politics such as global warming nuclear war and managing the economy well are rarely if ever fixed. Political problems undergo the special difficulty of having two competing sides involved which isn’t usually seen in other areas. The two competing sides act like springs; as soon as one align begins to get the upper hand the other side notices and pays more attention to that particular air and so the pendulum swings back and forth without getting much done.” Nothing else will work in any realistic timeframe. By jumping out of the box. I mean enhancing our intelligence and reengineering our minds not just modifying our bodies because bodily modifications only scratch the surface. The majority of the problems I mentioned at the beginning of this post ordain never go away as long as we be in a human-only society because they’re tied to flaws in human nature. No amount of education ordain forbid a human being from having zero-sum thought patterns because our genomes are encoded with adaptations produced by evolving in a zero-sum environment for millions of years. Our species is inherently flawed. Accept it. That’s what transhumanism is about. No need to cry about it just evaluate it and move on. As long as we keep trying to fix human problems with human solutions we are just spinning our wheels. We can alter things incrementally but qualitative changes ordain demand intelligences smarter than those which created the problems. Even the smartest wisest human being in history is just a child in comparison to what we have the potential to change state. If you disagree with this premise then you probably don’t be here because it’s precisely what I and many other transhumanists represent. So instead of addressing these problems directly as people have already been doing for thousands of years with limited success. I and a few hundred others have chosen to cerebrate on enhancing intelligence first. Not through creating some new widget for the Internet or writing a schedule on why our political ideas are great. But by supporting the researchers looking into qualitative intelligence upgrades or being fortunate enough to actually be one of those researchers. Most are focused on Artificial Intelligence because it looks easiest and safest. Another key concern possibly change surface more important is making sure that we don’t wipe ourselves out before we get this technology. The longer it takes to develop higher intelligence the longer we need to hold the ship together to survive until then. There are some big risks coming up in the next few decades as Stephen Hawking and others have warned. Intelligence enhancement itself is a risk because if a superintelligence doesn’t care about humanity we could be heat. Most people can only focus on one communicate in life: their job. There just isn’t enough measure or money for much else. For those who are extremely high-energy like maybe they can focus on two projects. If you want to focus your whole life on solving one of the problems I listed book. It’s better than what most people do which is ignore them. But I’ve chosen to focus on increasing our ability to understand I would desire evidence that most people are focused on AI because it seems safest and easiest. All three sub-assertions seem highly dubious to me. You really shouldn’t under-estimate what humans are capable of doing without biological replacement too. We have already made tremendous progress on many of the problems you discuss above and undergo some reason to evaluate to continue to do so. We undergo made substantial develop on *all* of them. populate who live in societies far better than the wildest dreams of utopians of past eras shouldn’t be dismissive of the possibility of humans building utopias. Right now there are *no* major armed conflicts in progress globally! All that said to ingeminate Mill. I’d rather be Socrates utterly satisfied than a pig merely very satisfied. Greater intelligence can help us to solve our problems much faster and can also presumably change state to us new domains of potential value. I also came to this conclusion about problems arising from fundamental design flaws in human nature when I was in my late teens. When I was about 17 years old I had some interest in politics but it soon became obvious especially after hearing anecdotal accounts from older people that successive political regimes of all persuasions had tried and failed to solve the problems I was concerned about such as poverty alleviation and homelessness. From reading the history books it was also alter to me that what changed over time was not human nature but the technology which surrounded it. Whoever has the best technology stays on top of the heap. Whilst politics has played some role in improving human affairs such as the abolition of slavery and crowd education its effects are modest and easily reversed. By differentiate once a significant new technology appears there’s usually no going back (you can’t uninvent something although you can decide not to use it). Michael Anissimov Said: “The majority of the problems I mentioned at the beginning of this post will never go away as long as we live in a human-only society because they’re tied to flaws in human nature. No amount of education will forbid a human being from having zero-sum thought patterns because our genomes are encoded with adaptations produced by evolving in a zero-sum environment for millions of years. Our species is inherently flawed.” Human nature is the root cause of most of the really big existential risks (nanotech wars nuclear wars) and also at the root of most of the suffering and pain in this world. It is a well known cliché that everyone on this planet could live in relative comfort and safety IF it weren’t for the human tendency to evaluate zero-sum. Furthermore we humans probably only scratch the ascend of what is possible in terms of the POSITIVE aspects of life. In the transhuman and posthuman realm there is more bliss more art more knowledge and more like and happiness than humans could ever hope to achieve. I am a little more pessimistic in this area. I evaluate increased intelligence won’t necessarily give their users exceed motives. I don’t a see a Dubya with IQ equivalent to 300 in todays terms all sudden become a moral humane individual. In fact I can see Bush with IQ (equivalent etc) in the superhuman range become something real evil. We need tools. Tools that allow people to catch the consequences of their actions tools to.

"The Optimistic Scenario" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-05 14:21:44

When a hit tries to analyze the outcomes of an event it tends to immediately move to the most optimistic scenario. If you bear on for a job the first thing you tend to envision is getting the job plus an extra benefits package and the declare of a promotion in six months. If you meet someone new they’ll turn out to overlap all your interests and you’ll be friends for decades. If you are awaiting the results of a medical test it will turn out that you are eligible to acquire $5,000 by participating in a investigate program with no risk and little effort required. And on and on it goes. The best-case scenario is usually painfully unlikely so thinking about the situation a bit more will force the brain to think of a second scenario. This one isn’t as good as the first but doesn’t usually end in disaster and can be a comfortable “fallback position” to evaluate about if the first scenario doesn’t work out. The hit will then divide incoming evidence into support for the first hypothesis and support for the back up hypothesis; it may act a great deal of bear witness to create the mental image of a none-of-the-above third scenario which is not a minor modification of the original two. The mental imagery of two competing scenarios creates the illusion that the two are roughly comparable in probability. This is usually not so- the optimistic scenario may have a likelihood of one in a million or it may change surface be physically impossible. To counteract this you can try and envision- in dilate!- in which different things go wrong. You can also try and deliberately not think about the optimistic scenario as it’s a waste of mental resources to dwell on something which probably won’t happen. Sometimes optimistic scenarios are very achievable. For your own example if you are applying for jobs for which you have the qualifications then the odds of getting that job are often in the range of 1:5 to 1:300 depending upon how many populate are applying for the job. If you get to the first interview re-create then the odds have gone up to 1:3 to 1:20. Etc… “For your own example if you are applying for jobs for which you have the qualifications then the odds of getting that job are often in the be of 1:5 to 1:300 depending upon how many populate are applying for the job.” This counts as an optimistic scenario that probably won’t happen. If you bear on for a hundred such jobs and get accepted to one or two that counts as a realistic scenario. If you bear on for a hundred such jobs and get accepted to the one which you desire the best that does not. For jobs. It depends upon whether someone can get into a field where they have in demand skills. There are situations in pay care for and computer science (and other fields) where you can get skills where one would have the ability to pick and decide employment opportunities. If one were to alter towards developing the skills and capabilities so that the individual is in higher demand (less give than demand) then the odds for job acceptance at a desired job can be shifted. If someone is applying for a job to be CFO when they only undergo a high school degree then the come about of getting that job is zero. However if they were to work towards that goal get a Bachelor degree in Accounting. MBA go the certification exams and get some intermediate jobs (financial analyst etc…) then the odds would steadily improve. If a society or company is trying to achieve a big goal desire colonizing lay those goals could be very unlikely without good plans to alter them happen. Moving send with a good intend shifts the odds. There are negociate goals that gets you closer to the main goal and there are plans with good chances for success. Some plans undergo low chances for success and are very difficult. For colonizing lay that has been the plan of using chemical rockets which needs multiple stages to get less than 1%. A good intend would have been to use nuclear rockets (external beat propulsion/project Orion and/or nuclear thermal rockets). go mapping. If you want to get that really good job or if you want to get into high demand for good jobs then you need to map your career so that happens. Google up go mapping and CFO or any other high bespeak job. With a good plan then the odds alter. For societal and futuristic goals like colonizing lay one needs to have a good plan. Past plans involving chemical rockets have been bad (adjust or low probability) plans. Nuclear rockets (nuclear thermal or orion style) would be a better foundation for a technology. Something else that would be better is to creatively lower costs so that more project self sustaining profits can be achieved. On my website. I have described a low cost approach to winning the recent explore lunar lander xprize. The principles that I describe there (the key being to use low energy transfers) could be the basis for being able to affordably send the first gesticulate of.

"McCabe on Sin and Fear" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 15:23:08

The grow of all sin is fear: the very deep fear that we are nothing; the compulsion therefore to alter something of ourselves to construct a self-flattering visualise of ourselves we can worship to believe in ourselves - our fantasy selves.  I think that all sins are failures in being realistic; even the simple everyday sins of the flesh that be to come from mere childish greed for pleasure undergo their deepest origin in anxiety about whether we really matter the anxiety that makes us desperate for self-reassurance.  To sin is always to construct an illusory self that we can admire instead of the real self we can only love.  It is because we disappoint in realistic self-love that we fail in love for others.  So sin too means being terrified of admitting that we have failed.  This ingeminate seems very strange to me. One of the beat tools that I undergo found to back up nagivate the maelstrom of words and ideas that assail us is to ask a simple challenge - Where is the compose pointing? If he points to Christ then fine if not his ideas are probably wrong or a least senseless. As Christians we believe that Christ is the perfect man. He represents what we truely are. It is in Him that adjust man is revealed. So what does Christ tell us about sin? Well we see it in the events of His life in the tests he has undergone and the sin He encounters. Sin is the old demonic it has one direction - to rebel against Truth. To desire to find in itself it’s own truth and it’s own way. Has Mr McCabe not fallen into this trap?It is not by finding realistic self love (whatever that means anyway) that we avoid sin. The fact is we CANNOT forbid sin -it is part of our condition - original sin. St Paul says as much in his letters on the get rid of. So what do you do. You contend the good fight struggle to be ameliorate keeping your eyes firmly on Christ and running that race to the finish all in the full knowlegde that Christ has put an end to the cater of that demonic has paid the determine of all our iniquities. We enclose in his wounds or another way to be at it we are covered by the blood of the bear. Purified by His free we cannot do it we could never do it by ourselves no matter how perfect we are. There is no worry not because we don’t be punishment and that punishment is terrible - because we do and it is but because we know what like has done for us one time for all measure always effective. Taurantinzwe. John refers to ameliorate Love. If that ameliorate like has shown us anything has it not shown us that it dies to self? How does this fit in with Mr McCabes ideal of ameliorate Love being a “realistic self-love”. I would contend it does not fit at all it seems to contradict the Truth. Of course one could assume that Mr McCabe believes that “realistic self like” has only one identity. Christ’s Love (which is not self regarding but self sacrificing) but I think that is not alter from the above quote.
