Words Get In the Way
Gloria Estefan
By Terrance Moore
I'm trying to say I love you…but the words get in the way
The power of fear is immeasurable. Fear has the ability to paralyze, debilitate, and mute a person simply from the possibility of a negative outcome. Fear can destroy your world if you fail to stand up to it. The lyrics to this song are a prime example of someone who is allowing their fear to prevent them from saying what they really want to say. The relationship has ended, but she's still dealing with unresolved emotional pain and regret. And although she really has nothing to lose from being honest, she still can't bring herself to tell him how she really feels.There's so much I want to say But it's locked deep inside and if you look in my eyes We might fall in love again I won't even start to cry Before we say goodbye
The filter between our brain and what comes out of our mouth can be a gift and a curse. There are moments in our lives where we are required to be tactful in our communication, and there are moments where nothing but the unvarnished truth will suffice. The challenge comes in knowing when to apply each approach, because the application of the wrong approach can lead to misunderstandings.
What you don't say is just as important as what you do say, and this is especially true in matters of the heart. Fear and ego are the biggest barriers between what we say and what we want to say. No one likes to feel vulnerable, but when you're in love, that's exactly how you feel. You feel exposed. In some instances, you may actually feel weak. As a result of these feelings of weakness, people have a tendency to place barriers between their hearts and the object of their affection. These barriers, or defense mechanisms, are used to keep a piece of our hearts to ourselves in the event the relationship doesn't work out. Fear and ego can prevent us from speaking from the heart, and prevent us from saying and doing the things necessary to nurture a relationship. How is someone to know how you really feel if you don't tell them? It's not unusual for 2 people to be in a relationship and have no idea what the other person is thinking. This tends to happen when one or both individuals are afraid to broach the topic of where things stand because they may not like what they hear.
If the relationship were to come to an end, your failure to communicate could result in feelings of regret. Regret for not telling the person how you really felt; regret for not treating the person the way you really wanted to treated them in your attempt to avoid appearing weak; regret for letting a rare opportunity slip through your fingers. My biggest fear in life is having to live with regret. Regret can slowly consume your inner being. Unspoken words and unexplored opportunities can haunt you for the rest of your life. So don't allow fear and the preservation of your ego to prevent you from following your heart. The situation may not work out the way you hope, but at least you can look back and know you left all your cards on the table.
You can't turn back the hands of time, so when life presents you with a golden opportunity you have to grab the reins and see how far you can take it. Even if the outcome is less than desirable, there won't be any regrets. The world is full of possibilities, but as the old saying goes, "A closed mouth don't get fed." Don't let unspoken words prevent you from realizing your dreams.

"Hello and welcome to fun and relax, my name is Beatka and I will be servicing you on your journey".
Hello, Beatka.
"Fun and Relax" was not quite what we were expecting once onboard the 7.30 morning bus from Brno to Gyor, a town on the Hungarian/Slovakian border, and when she added politely to us that there may be no beers available we were starting to wonder just how this trip was going to pan out. However, after a quick discussion with the driver she did indeed find two cans of Gambrinus, much to the driver's disappointment I imagine.
A trip to Hungary is pretty straightforward from Brno, so after arriving in Gyor within a mere three hours we headed past the Belgian pub (which we would make an unwise stop in later) and in to the enchanting, historic town centre. We were planning on pacing ourselves on this trip, which is why we waited until 10.30 to have our second drink, and as we always make an effort to blend in with the local culture we were keen to try a local beer. Cue our first pub = specialising in Czech and German beers. An accident maybe, but we were lucky that they were actually selling a local micro-brew (more on that later) which went down nicely.
What do you think of when you hear the name Hungary? Well, we thought of goulash. So off we went in search of steamer, Westy Hajo, sitting serenely on the banks of the Danube (Ralph's favourite river, by the way) and tucked in to pint of Borsodi and a fine goulash in a bread bowl which I broke my teeth on. Following this success Ralph scored another by passing the polyglot challenge and asking for the bill in Hungarian, which apparently becomes easier after three beers. Firing on all cylinders, we set off in to the unknown (well, Gyirmót) in search of new breweries and football.
Gyirmót is suburb of Gyor, but the train delivered us to a sparse, flat landscape presenting a barren area at odds with the charm of the centre of the city . We alighted the train on to a stark and lonely platform, with the road running across us far in to either direction. A pizzeria and a track side pub sat on either side, surrounded by a clamour of houses. On one of these streets is purported to be a brewery. The brewery, we hoped, that had provided us with our first beer in Gyor.
The brewery is supposedly situated in someone's back garden, and sure enough when we arrived at the address there was nothing more than a standard residential home with no beers signs and an empty driveway, signalling that the owners had found something better to do on a cold Saturday than serve us. Disappointed, we headed back to the pub beside the tracks, Csanaki Fészek, and interrupted a children's birthday party. Sitting quietly and dodging pink balloons, we swiftly finished off our beers. Whether or not they had ever heard an English voice in there before it was hard to tell, but one thing we could say is that we were enjoying a warm welcome everywhere we went.
One notable thing about Gyirmót – there are a lot of dogs, and they are huge and waiting to kill. From every direction massive dogs barked and howled at us from every garden of this sprawling residential maze. Some were trying to tear through fences, whilst one had even laid a trap by placing a football within kicking distance of his kennel. Even Ralph, who can never resist the urge to kick a stray football, dared not go any closer. It was pure madness. Nevertheless, we survived the gauntlet and made it to the game between Gyirmót FC and Kisvarda Master Good.
Gyirmót FC sit at the top of the second league and are obviously being financially well supported, as you can see the name of the sponsors plastered all over the newly redeveloped stadium. The stadium is modern and big – maybe too big for Gyirmót FC as one of the side stands was completely empty. But this team has big plans it seems, so maybe the empty stands are sitting pretty, waiting for the big league. Tonight though, it is cold, and the atmosphere in the stands is an odd one. The crowd has a strangely large number of young children in it, as if on some school trip. And it is them that are doing all the singing. Whether the singing is anything to do with the football or not we have no idea, but it looked a lot more fun in the away end, where a small group of Kisvarda fans were making a racket in the smaller, but classic stands. The football on offer was less than good, matching the quality of the beer. The schnitzel burger was pretty good though.
Back in Gyor we had a few minutes to kill before heading to Sopron, so nipped in to the Royal Belgian Beer Cafe and Restaurant. Stumbling upon our second birthday party of the trip we were greeted by a waitress who could barely conceal her contempt at our lack of a reservation as she called "Hallo" repeatedly after a bewildered Ralph who had dared to walk further than the welcome mat. Her disappointment was cemented after discovering we would only be drinking, and a Hungarian lager at that. We were placed, neglected, at the bar and forced to stare at the glass cleaning facilities. As we left she she attempted to show interest and asked us where we were from. Before I could answer, Ralph referred solely to himself and said, "Wales". "Ah Wales", she replied, "Guinness!" … I laughed, we left.
A 30 minute train journey away, Sopron, although no less beautiful, is a little smaller than Gyor and provides less in the way of evening entertainment. The friendly staff at our (rather posh) hotel, Pannonia, directed us to an English-style pub for dinner, where we ingested more than should be allowed and set of in search of a more lively hole to spend the evening in. After some walking with little luck, we ended the evening warmly in a busy Croatian pub where the barmaid amused herself with our attempts at the Hungarian language.
The weather over the whole weekend was beautiful and we took full advantage of it by exploring the city the next day, grabbing a beer in the morning sunshine after a fulfilling hotel breakfast of cheese and sausages. We dodged armies of tourists and even took a couple of photos for them, but our offers of our own personal tour were turned down. We had a quick look a the FC Sopron stadium, watched a bit of training then headed back to Gyor for a couple more beers before our bus back to Brno, ending putting the full stop on an excellent trip to north west Hungary. Next stop, Rosice – for the the first Blansko away game of the season.

Last week, we took a look at Arup and Deutsche Bahn's Building Information Modelling infrastructure project – Tunnel Rastatt.
This week, Deutsche Bahn have released two videos explaining their reasons behind utilising BIM, and also how it has enabled them to reap major benefits on their Tunnel Rastatt job.
In the first video posted above, the German rail company explain how BIM can be of instrumental importance in five separate lifecycle stages – Early Stage, Planning, Approval Phase, Execution and Operation.
"All in all, these things contribute to meet deadlines and cost and to increase public acceptance of the building project," notes the visual.
The clip concludes with a superb way of defining what BIM is all about: "BIM – From the first idea to the operation of the finished building. Economical, ecological and social."
The second new video hosted to Deutsche Bahn's official YouTube channel is a superbly shot insight into the Tunnel Rastatt project. The tunnel is in fact one of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure's four pilot projects, which is utilising BIM becuase of the ministry's recommendation for an "increased usage of digital methods such as BIM" to halt "a marked deterioration of public perception and acceptance of such projects".
Why has BIM worked so well for the Tunnel's team? Sascha Björn Klar, BIM Project Lead explained: "Through the use of BIM in the pilot project Tunnel Rastatt, we have already been able to increase the quality of planning considerably. Based on the existing models, we are able to simulate building processes and costs and, as a result, prevent conflicts and risks in the execution phase. By using a common information and data environment, we connect all involved parties and promote communication.
"Our previous experiences with the pilot project Rastatt are positive throughout. DB Netz AG sees BIM as an excellent approach for sustainable improvement of the project business. We are currently creating standards based on the findings we have obtained thus far. Our goal is a nationwide implementation of BIM throughout the entire life cycle of our railway infrastructure."
Equally as positive about this trial development was Thomas Grundhoff, Project Team Lead. Explaining what the team can achieve with BIM, he said: "The consequent implementation of BIM in the execution phase allows for up-to-date recording of the status quo of the building project. Performance reports are made using mobile end user devices such as tablets."
More information on the project can be found here.

Kew Residents Association
Kew is increasingly under threat from traffic pollution, from aircraft noise, from population density increase, from its own desirability. The latter makes it an attractive place to want to live; in which to build a new retail park or a massive housing estate. Both have been built in Kew in the last decade.
You can't simply halt the march of progress, of course. But you can ask, reasonably, "is this really the best we can do for Kew and its people?". And that's what we seek to do. We try to stop excessive over-development, fight disregard for planning laws, put the view of the ordinary citizen. Developers are notoriously poor at self-regulation. We are, sadly, a very necessary antidote.

At the moment I have no time or plans for Frhed. Once I have I think I'm going to move it quite radically forward too.
jtuc wrote:Restarting WinMerge 2 trunk is IMHO a waste of time.
Depends what you mean with restart.
This kind of application whose whole point is in GUI and usability cannot look like 20 year old anymore. No matter how much you like those small toolbar buttons etc it just is not modern GUI people want to use anymore. And MFC is dead end. Diff engine is very dated, we are missing all the bug fixes and improvements for last 15 years. Just to mention couple of things. We need radical jump forward if we want to be application people choose to use.
The only thing to choose is if we want to start from almost scratch with new GUI or if we try to modify the existing GUI to become the modern GUI. Starting from scratch of course means we lose a lot of work. But we also can easily forget all the crap there is after years of modifying and start with a clean desing. It is not necessarily any less work than converting current code.
Everybody loves the code they have written. But code also gets old and sometimes needs rewriting. What worked and was good 10 years ago is outdated now.

Final: Vancouver Knights vs CWI B
Vancouver Knights became the inaugural Global T20 Canada champions by defeating West Indies B by seven wickets in the final on Sunday at Maple Leaf Cricket Ground, King City.
After being asked to bat first, the impressive yet prone to imploding Windies side collapsed to 53 for five in 7.4 overs, including their mainstays Brandon Kings, Sherfane Rutherford and Nicholas Pooran who together could only contribute 25 runs. By the end of 14th over, Windies were 105 for seven and then followed a brilliant Fabian Allen cameo of 41 off just 23 balls, including 3 fours and 3 sixes. But soon after he left, Windies were bowled out 145 in 17.4 overs, at least 25 to 30 runs short of par score.
Sheldon Cottrell had another brilliant day with the ball as he returned with the figures of 4 for 29 in 3.4 overs. Australian leggie Fawad Ahmed took 3 wickets for 24 while Canadian Saad Bin Zafar took two.
In reply, Knights openers Chadwick Walton and Chris Gayle were back in the hut inside two overs with Ben Dunk following them back in the hut eight balls later. For a moment the game looked poised but a brilliant 126-run partnership between Saad Bin Zafar and South African Rassie van der Dussen helped them chase down the target with 15 balls to spare and seven wickets in hand. Saad Bin Zafar top-scored with 79* while van der Dussen finished at 44*.
Saad Bin Zafar was adjudged man of the match for his brilliant all-round performance, while Lendl Simmons was declared the player of the tournament.

{ Cahill Gordon & Reindel Est. 1919 }
After a nearly eight-year legal battle to keep New York Times reporter and Pulitzer Prize-winning author James Risen from having to testify about the identity of his confidential sources, the U.S. Department of Justice withdrew its effort to have him do so. Mr. Risen's 2006 book, State of War, used confidential sources to describe a failed CIA operation. Cahill has represented Mr. Risen in connection with this case since 2007, when he was first contacted by the Justice Department in an effort to compel him to identify those sources as part of the Government's efforts to prosecute a former CIA officer for allegedly leaking the information to Mr. Risen.More
Cahill represented 1-800-Flowers.com, Inc. in its acquisition of Harry & David Holdings, Inc., a leading specialty retailer and producer of branded premium gift-quality fruit, gourmet food products and other gifts marketed under the Harry & David, Wolferman's and Cushman's brands.
Cahill advised the financing sources in their various capacities as initial purchasers, underwriters, agents and lead arrangers in debt, equity and bank financing transactions that backed the $15.8 billion acquisition of Salix Pharmaceuticals by Valeant Pharmaceuticals. The deal was consummated in a relatively compressed time frame and Cahill represented Deutsche Bank Securities, HSBC, MUFG, DNB Markets, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Barclays, Morgan Stanley, RBC Capital Markets and Citigroup in providing committed financing for the acquisition as well as each of the three distinct bank, bond and equity transactions that collectively generated proceeds of over $16.5 billion to fund the acquisition.
Cahill represented the financing sources in bank loan and bond issuance transactions with an aggregate value of $9 billion, to fund the acquisition of Canadian coffee giant Tim Hortons by Burger King. On the bank side, Cahill represented JPMorgan Chase Bank and the group of lead arranging banks in a $6.75 billion bank financing, to fund the acquisition. In connection with the bond deal, Cahill represented Wells Fargo Securities and the other initial purchasers in offering $2.25 billion in second lien senior secured notes due 2022, to also fund the acquisition.
Cahill is representing Credit Suisse Group and its subsidiaries in civil litigations and investigations with respect to alleged manipulation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other reference rates during the financial crisis. More than a dozen major global financial institutions have also been named in these litigations and investigations. LIBOR supports an estimated $800 trillion in loans and securities each year, and is one of the best known and most important interest rates in the world.
Cahill represented McGraw-Hill Financial, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLP (S&P) in connection with law suits commenced by the United States, 19 states, the District of Columbia and numerous private litigants. The governmental litigations and many of the private actions have recently been settled, as have certain claims by the Securities and Exchange Commission, New York and Massachusetts. Cahill has represented S&P in all litigations relating to S&P's ratings of mortgage backed securities. Since 2009, Cahill has obtained dismissals in 29 such cases and has won numerous appeals in the cases.
Through Cahill's partnership with the Veterans Program at the New York State Small Business Development Center, teams of Cahill litigators and transactional attorneys have helped several veterans make the transition from the military to the private sector by providing pro bono assistance as they launch their small businesses.More
Reflecting its prominence in the U.S. leveraged finance markets, Cahill advised the financing sources in the five largest leveraged buyouts completed in 2014, according to data compiled by Thomson Reuters of completed U.S. buyouts with disclosed transaction values. Cahill represented the financing sources in the debt financings for the buyouts of: Gates Global by Blackstone Group, Tibco Software by Vista Equity Partners, Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics and Illinois Tool Works by The Carlyle Group and Sedgwick Claims by an investor group. These transactions generated aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $14.3 billion. Cahill also represented the debt financing sources in many other leveraged buyouts and M&A financing transactions completed in 2014, including the acquisition of Tim Hortons by Burger King, Bally Technologies by Scientific Games, URS Corp by Aecom Technology Corp. and buyouts of Advantage Sales & Marketing, The Hillman Companies and DTZ. Since representing the financiers in KKR's historic $24.6 billion takeover of RJR Nabisco in 1988, Cahill has advised the financing sources in 8 of the 10 biggest buyouts completed to date (TXU, HCA, RJR Nabisco, Harrah's Entertainment, Kinder Morgan, H.J. Heinz, Alltel and First Data).
On behalf of 33 media entities and organizations, Cahill submitted a brief, amici curiae, to the Eighth Circuit in the appeal of an unprecedented award in a defamation suit brought by former Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura against Chris Kyle, a former U.S. Navy SEAL and author of the 2012 best selling American Sniper autobiography. The suit arose out of a one-and-a-half page passage of Kyle's book in which he described a bar fight with an individual he identified only as "Scruff Face," and whom he later publicly confirmed to be Ventura. On August 7, 2014, the District Court for the District of Minnesota awarded former Governor Ventura $1.8 million based not only on supposed damages sustained by Ventura but also on profits purportedly received by Kyle from the sale of his book. Amici argued that the ruling awarding a libel plaintiff profits received from the sale of a book is unprecedented in American history and cannot be reconciled with the common law or the First Amendment. Companies signing on to the brief included A&E Television Networks, Buzzfeed, Gannett Co., Hearst Corp., the Motion Picture Association of America, the New York Times Co., Penguin Random House, Time Inc., and the Washington Post.
A Cahill litigation team prevailed on behalf of Amarin Corporation plc ("Amarin") and a group of physician plaintiffs in Amarin Pharma Inc. et al. v. Food and Drug Administration et al, a closely watched First Amendment lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.More
The precedent-setting case challenged the constitutionality of the FDA's restrictions on off-label promotion by Amarin of its lead product, Vascepa® (icosapent ethyl) capsules. Amarin filed the case preemptively to shield itself from FDA prosecution for promoting to healthcare professionals a body of truthful and non-misleading information related to Vascepa that goes beyond current FDA-approved labeling for the drug. Presenting medical professionals with truthful information, the Company argued, was constitutionally protected speech, and further argued that FDA restrictions limiting such speech would prevent most physicians from making fully-informed treatment decisions to high-risk cardiovascular disease patients.
On August 7, 2015, U.S. District Court Judge for the Southern District of New York, Paul A. Engelmayer, granted Amarin's application for preliminary relief, declaring that "Amarin may engage in truthful and non-misleading speech promoting off-label use of Vascepa," and that, "such speech may not form the basis of a prosecution for misbranding." The court further held that "the combination of statements and disclosures that Amarin proposes to make to doctors relating to the use of Vascepa to treat persons with persistently high triglycerides,as such communications have been modified herein, is truthful and non-misleading."
The decision opens more direct paths to communicate truthful and non-misleading information about Vascepa clinical trial results and the state of science relevant to the potential of Vascepa to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. With such information readily available, healthcare professionals will be better able to assess for themselves how best to choose among available treatment options for their patients.

Barrera Bulletin – March, 2016
Items of Praise:
Rodrigo's February trip to Guatemala is now a happy memory —
1) of the Pastors' Training Conference with leaders from Desert Springs Church in Albuquerque, two pastors from Guatemala City and dozens of pastors from the Achí area.
2) of the house full of visitors every day he was there from morning to night, providing opportunities to encourage, counsel and pray for people. Two young ladies made decisions to follow Christ.
3) of his preparing breakfasts three times, twice for the leaders of the Pastors' Conference and once for the group of young people that Eder is discipling.
Prayer requests:
1) for the recording NOW IN PROGRESS of the first five books of the Old Testament in Achi! This is a project that involves technicians from the Christian recording studio Viña and a number of Achí readers.
2) For the checking of the book of Psalms in Achí. I (Carol) work on that almost daily via Internet. The next group checking session will be in May, with the focus being on Psalms 51-100. What a privilege for me to delve into this inspired poetry in four languages–English, Spanish, Achi and Hebrew! Waiting for the day when this will be available to all of the Achi people!
3) My broken hip has mended from the fall I had last October. My shoulder has a ways to go yet. Pray for clarity as to whether it will need surgery.
4) Finally, this week Rodrigo bought tickets for our two-month trip to Guatemala April 21 to June 22, and this time I get to go! As well, our good friend Beth Meier from New Mexico plans to travel with us and stay with us for the about a week and a half. She will be a great help to me and will get to visit her many Achi friends. (She and her husband and three daughters have all made trips to the Achí area over the years.)
You who have prayed and given so faithfully all these years for the Achi translation are a vital part of the work. May your investment reap rich dividends for eternity.
Rodrigo and Carol

I have just received high level intel I cannot specify for security and clearance reasons but suffice to say there was more to the POTUS' speech than was meant to be discerned by the general audience.
First he described this "counter-terrorism campaign" as "different"…This is Warfare 2.0 using next generation DARPA technologies literally straight out of Area 51…
He then spoke of how he has "insisted that additional U.S. action depended upon Iraqis forming an inclusive government, WHICH THEY HAVE DONE IN RECENT DAYS."
That statement gave the green light for the standing by coalition to officially begin Operation xxxx against ISIS as well as for PM Abadi's government to immediately implement all political and economic reforms necessary to usher Iraq into the international community via full implementation of the Strategic Framework Agreement.
We have now entered a brand new phase of the entire process.
The domino was tipped tonight [9-10-2014] . The rest will be history in the making.

Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor
Perhaps the most passionate, yet destructive, love affair in history was the one between actors Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. The pair first got to know one another in 1963, on the set of "Cleopatra." Taylor was 29 and married to Eddie Fisher, her fourth husband, at the time. The Welsh Burton, 38, had been married to his first wife, Sybil, since 1949 [source: Biography]. Liz and Dick quickly became inseparable, and by March 7, 1964, had divorced their respective spouses and married one another [source: Cahalan].
The Hollywood power couple worked on 11 movies together, received Oscar nominations and made millions. But both also battled addictions to booze and drugs, so despite their passion and devotion, their marriage was stormy. The couple divorced in 1974, remarried in 1975 and divorced again in 1976 [source: Cahalan].
But even divorced, they were never far from each other's minds or hearts, keeping in touch via letter or phone [source: Turner]. In 1982, shortly before Burton wed his second post-Liz wife, the two agreed to join forces in Noel Coward's play "Private Lives." Although the play got terrible reviews, people were dying to see the two together, and it was sold out every night. Who knows if the couple would have eventually married a third time; in 1984, Burton died from a cerebral hemorrhage [source: Cahalan].

Positive Review of Wal-Mart Straight Talk Basic Cell Phone Service Plan
Is Straight Talk any good?
Is Wal-Mart's Straight Talk phone service very good? You've heard that the plans are cheap and don't require a contract.
But is having a Straight Talk plan worth the low price? I've had a Straight Talk plan for about two years now, and, for me, it's totally worth it.
When I was tired of paying what I thought was too much on cellular phone service, I opted to try Wal-Mart's Straight Talk phone service. Why not? There is no contract to tie a person in, so I could switch back to another provider after a month or so if I didn't like it.
Around Christmas time, year before last, there was a sale on Straight Talk phones, so I picked up one. You pay for a month of minutes, with the phone included in the price.
Straight Talk Plans
There are two basic Straight Talk plans. Neither requires an activation fee or contract. I have a landline at home, and so I don't use my cell phone exclusively. I use its minutes for mostly long distance calls, and I text only occasionally, so I don't need a fancy phone with unlimited minutes. For only $45, though, you get a great plan with unlimited phone minutes, texting, and internet. There is even a $60 plan that includes nationwide and international minutes. Not needing all that, I opted for the $30 plan that comes with 1000 phone minutes and 1000 texts—plenty for me.
The downside of these inexpensive phones is that there is more difficulty in texting and obtaining internet access. Having several letters on one key makes texting a little tedious. Getting online isn't an easy process, either, but that doesn't matter to me. I have a great laptop at home that I use all the time for internet access, so I don't need to access the internet on a tiny little phone screen. The phone that comes with the $45 plan looks to be a little larger and perhaps a bit easier to use, but it is nothing fancy either. Still, the service is cheap and you can upgrade your phone to something more user-friendly for you--either through Straight Talk's phone selection or a phone of your own, as long as it is compatible.
4 star for $30 phone due to limited texting & internet access. Still, this service is all I need! Try the $45 plan for more!
Discounts on Straight Talk Plans
You can take in a cell phone of your choosing to the store to see if it is compatible with the Straight Talk plan. Many phones will work with Straight Talk, including some smart phones. You can also purchase a SIM card from Straight Talk to insert into your existing cell phone..

Straight Talk works with the iPhone! Here's how:
straight talk has by far the WORST customer service of any company I have dealt with in my entire life.
they are completely incompetent and under-trained. they have also lied to me to get me off the phone. promising one thing, only to be disappointed.
i have called about this particular issue FOUR (4) times and just checked my account to see that, again, i have been lied to and will have to call AGAIN for the fifth time.
my issue is straight talk royally screwed up my phone transfer. story short, i ended up buying a year long service plan + a 30 day service plan + they gave me a free month for the huge mess up on their part.
that means my service plan, with all the time added up, should expire 3/4/15. of course, since NO ONE at STRAIGHT TALK has any idea of what they are doing (they barely speak/understand English) i'll have to call in for the 5TH time.
the last four times, i tell them they need to escalate the call to a real manager (they lie and say they are a manager -- don't believe them!). they assure my the dates are changed. i call them liars. again, they assure me. i usually have to submit to their incompetence cause by then i am just so frustrated.
a couple days after each call, i log back into my account only to see the dates changed back!
i am done trying to get what i paid for.
Good article, please note the details however that only gsm compatible phones (AT&T or T-Mobile) are capable of taking advantage of the BYOP service by straight talk. Although not stated very clearly in their literature you can decode the service that each handset uses by reading the badge on the lower left of the package i.e. GSM-A=AT&T, GSM=T-Mobile, CDMA or CDMA-V=Verizon and CDMA-S is Sprint.
Straight Talk is owned by TracFone. Depending on where you live, and which phone you buy, you may go off the towers of several different providers. For instance; if you live in Oregon, and buy a CDMA-V ST phone, then you will get your service through Verizon towers. If you live elsewhere, and buy a GSM phone, you may go off of Sprint or another providers towers.
My husband & I switched to ST 2years ago from Verizon, best move we made.
Does this service provide the internet? Would I be able to use my email at cox.net?
Saw your article as came up for 3rd ranking when google ST. If all you want phone for is talk/text good deal. If you are going to use apps, or internet (i.e. most Android or Iphone) you gonna be slammed fast with their 250 mb throttle, i.e. your internet access speed will drop down drastically. So not good deal with Andriod or iPhones as pretty much paper weights. See article: http://www.pcworld.com/article/248360/t_mobile_and...
We've been a Straight Talk family going on 2 years. We've had no service problems. I know what is coming for they are about a year behind the big carriers, for example you can now use an IPhone. The Iphone 5 from them is $650 and $45 a month, and over a 24 month period that works out to $72 a month. The big carrier is $299 plus $110 a month which comes out to $125 a month for 24 mos. They automatically deduct my account so I never have to worry about running out. To those who asked on the $30 plan minutes do not roll over. I did calculate though if you get up to 4-5 phones on your plan big carriers are competitive at that point.
Victoria, about a year ago while traveling I broke my iPhone and needed a replacement ASAP. So, I purchased a prepaid from Wal-Mart with Net10 service. It was great! I paid $53 for one month of unlimited everything service. As you stated, "there's no contract." I did, however, return to my smart phone because it has many features I enjoy and found texting and surfing the internet much easier. But, as a backup option, or even a primary cell for users that don't require all the bells and whistles, getting a prepaid is the smart choice.
My wife and I are looking for a good cell phone plan to get onto when our contract runs out in a few months. Ready to save money and this gives me a good idea of another option to look into. Also, as long as I can put this sim in an iPhone, I might be on board. Thanks for writing this article and I'm voting up and sharing as very useful!
look into the net 10 service, minute wise it is cheaper than tracphone, just depends on how many minutes you need and use tracphone minutes bout .15 to .20 a minute and net 10 is .10ct a min and .05ct for text
I have had a Nokia Tracfone for several years....I am frugal, and just normally get what I need....don't need texting or internet access on my phone....really like the Tracfone....( use it for long distance and in auto for all needs, etc...)..I have basic hardline phone with no frills for just over $20.00 monthly, and an internet server for $10.00, monthly...
Most know that I don't have special long distance service, so they call me, and I email them, or call them when it's important.....Tracfone is the most reasonable I found, with no contract....a small fee for the phone....to keep the phone active, you need to add minutes once a year, at least.....any minutes left from previous year, you keep....I add $100.00 to phone each year, usually have minutes left from previous year, and there's usually promo where I get extra minutes as well...so, my monthly fee is approx. $9.00 per month...
This seems like it could be a good deal. Do you happen to know of a good Bell stores in the Southgate Mall?
if i purchase the cell phone with the 1000 minutes will the minutes roll over
Great hub - can't wait to get out of my contract with Verizon (sigh)
Victoria Lynn, yes it is but unlike ST it works on cdma towers giving you the best nationwide service. I just did a hub on it.
Good info, but not a choice for me. Straight Talk is a Mexican owned company, meaning more jobs not available in the United States. Owned by the richest man in the world Carlos Slim. I went with Pageplus, an American owned company with great service.
Boring because I don't have or need a cell phone
I did a hub on this topic as well. Straight Talk is great, they use Verizon towers and have the exact same national coverage. Voting up!
Interesting information and a great option in cell phone purchase. I do know a person who bought one and she is very happy with the phone and service. She paid a really cheap price for it as well.
Good hub to help followers get inexpensive phones.
Voted up and awesome.
Victoria....Good for you! You went the sensible, less expensive route. Save, where ever we can save. That's my motto. Whatever works!
Because we have a home phone for personal & our Businesses, a cell phone is merely a convenience/safety matter used only when we're not at home My hubby and I have the pay-up-front Trac phones and have since they first came out. They are perfect for us.
Our adult kids all have "whatever it is" that does EVERYTHING in the palm of your hand. I've never asked what they pay per month......I'd probably pass out from the answer......frugal lady that I am. UP+++
Thank you, Victoria, for this informative Hub! We are in the process of deciding what kind of change we will make as of July 1. We too are tired of the rate we are paying. We do not use a land line anymore, but due to my wife's work at home job, she has a "virtual" phone line (what ever that is) through Vonnage.
I will ask her to read this as well.

Three New Garden Essentials for your Big Sky Property
If you are ambitious enough to try to have a garden in Big Sky (it can be done!), you need to start with the best tools. The tools behind a healthy, beautiful lawn and garden are becoming more advanced and useful every year. And as any gardener knows, half the allure of maintaining a beautiful backyard landscape and garden is the opportunity to play with some cool, specialized tools. So here are three hot new garden products to keep your Big Sky property looking fresh.
Blossom Lawn Irrigation Controller ($149)
The Blossom Lawn Irrigation Controller is part of a new wave of analytic technology targeted at reducing excessive municipal water use. The beautiful green lawn has been a staple of the American residential dream for generations, but unfortunately, the beauty comes at a cost. Studies show a staggering amount of water wasted over the course of a year spent watering a single American family home. The Blossom Is here to help. Simply remove your old irrigation system controller, install the Blossom and control your irrigation profile from the Blossom app on your phone or tablet. The Blossom adjusts its schedule based on precipitation and is wirelessly connected to a number of local weather sources to configure the most efficient and waste-free watering schedule possible.
Jackson Thermoformed Poly Wheelbarrow ($139.97)
This surely isn't your daddy's old wheelbarrow. The 5.75 cubic foot Thermoformed Poly Wheelbarrow from Jackson is a gold standard in yard carts, and no serious mulching job should be attempted without one. This wheelbarrow's thermoformed poly construction and stabilizer feet increase its lifetime spent in your backyard. Perhaps most importantly though, the Jackson Thermoformed Poly Wheelbarrow has a 16" tubed tire that allows users to adjust inflation in accordance with different surface types and loads.
Ames 26" Dual Tine Rake ($24.97)
The phrase "Innovative new rake design" might sound a whole hell of a lot like "reinventing the wheel", but the 26" Dual Tine Rake from Ames really is something of a watershed moment for raking. Featuring two rows of offset teeth to prevent leaf clogging, the Ames rake cuts down on the more frustrating aspects of raking while keeping your lawn leaf-free. Oh, and a slick comfort handle keeps your hands blister-free, too.
Make sure to check out Big Sky Landscaping's Garden Center for all of your flower and vegetable starter plants, or Wildwood Nursery for your tree and shrub needs. If they don't also have the tools you need, Ace Hardware is sure to have the rest!
And don't worry, our flowers and vegetables learn to be pretty hardy around here :)
Moonlight Basin - July 2016
Waxless Skis for a Busy World
Although in many parts of the world spring is in the air, that isn't the case in Big Sky where we've had one of the best winters in decades. The cross country trails are still in full operation and being groomed regularly, and with changing snow conditions at different elevations, considering waxless skis may make your life easier.
If you watched any Nordic skiing events at this year's winter Olympics, you may have heard how often color commentators and coaches talk about wax. It's a big deal in the Nordic skiing world, particularly for classic skiers. The perfect wax job can mean the difference between running up hills and going nowhere. The difference between world cup skiers and you? They have a team of professional wax technicians to do the heavy scraping for them while you have three kids and a full-time job. So unless you have a friend who is considering becoming your personal wax technician, waxless skis are worth perusing. Think old-school fish-scales, only with strips of modern mohair skin under the skier's foot rather than scale. World Cup races are being won on these "skin skis", and they require less waxing than your pair of skate skis.
Check these options out:
Atomic Redster C9 Skintec Hard
Billed as Atomic's first skin ski that's race-ready, the Redster is aimed at hobby racers or higher-end amateurs who want a dependable ski to train on without the fuss of a waxable ski. The Redster has a Nomex Featherlight core and is built with a carbon laminate, making it super light yet stable. The kick patch area of the ski is slightly wider, giving skiers a reliable base to step into and unlike competing models, the Redster's kick patch is one large piece of skin material, rather than two strips.
Fischer describes their mid-range skin ski as "athletic", and "ideal in hard or icy conditions". Indeed, icy unpredictable conditions are really where skin skis start to stand out. The Twin Skin Pro features two offset strips of Mohair skin under each foot that are set at various depths into the ski's base giving the skier a natural, nearly-waxed feel to their stride.
Billed as the ultimate solution for all day events in changing conditions, the Salomon S/Race skin ski is spendy, but worth it. At 1040 grams, the S/Race features a traditional racing sidecut (44 mm at the tip, waist and tail), interchangeable Pomoca skin inserts, and a super fast low-profile camber that optimizes snow contact. The Solomon S/Race is the fastest ski ever made by Salomon.
Whether you consider trying these skis, or sticking with the old favorites, get out there and enjoy the trails at Lone Mountain Ranch!

The town of Big Sky, and Big Sky country in general, is a mecca for Nordic skiing. Between Lone Mountain Ranch and the miles of groomed ski trails around the greater Gallatin County region, nordic skiing, and specifically skate skiing, is one of the best activities for getting into the woods and away from the crowds, fast. But unlike downhill skis, skate skis require more frequent waxing and at-home care, especially now as the weather changes from winter to spring-like conditions. This may sounds overwhelming, but don't worry; waxing is one of the sublime pleasures of being a nordic skier. Here's a quick primer on the basics of waxing skate skis:
What you'll need:
1) Ski vice or clamps, homemade or store bought 2) Glide wax 3) Scraper 4) Waxing iron 5) Cork block
The Process:
Before being stowed away every spring, skate skis should receive a coat of "storage wax", which needs to be removed every fall. After affixing your skis to your chose work surface, set your wax iron to medium heat and begin slowly heating the base of your ski. As the iron and the ski get hotter, the existing wax with turn ghostly white and stand out. Scrap off all the old wax to give yourself a new start.
After the ski is stripped and ready for wax, it's time to give your skis their first coat of glide wax for the winter. Begin the waxing process by holding your wax block at a steep downward angle to the face of the iron, allowing hot wax to drip onto the ski.
Cover the ski with little blotches of wax from tip to tail. After the ski is fairly covered, begin spreading the wax around the ski's base by running your iron in circular motions across the ski's base. You will see the wax melt and spread. Continue this waxing motion until the ghostly white wax covers the ski base entirely. Because nordic skis have relatively soft bases, be careful to not melt the ski's base.
Now it's time to scrape. Hold your wax scraper at 45-degree angle to the ski as you pull the scraper towards yourself. You'll see satisfying curls of excess wax pull from the ski. Once the excess is pulled from the ski, the bases should appear shiny and smooth. If you want to put some additional elbow grease into the work, buff the skis bases with a cork block to work the wax into the base.
Now get your skiing clothes on and get out the door!

PROPERTY ROUNDUP: Horseback Riding in SW Montana
For over one hundred years Montanans have been exploring the great "Big Sky" state on horseback. While most horseback riding has become a pleasure sport and activity, many people still rely on these majestic creatures for backcountry travel and ranch work.

Montana even has entire subdivisions that are equestrian friendly with private trails and corrals." Gilley loves the freedom to explore vast amounts of trails and landscapes in a short amount of time while horseback riding. She says learning to ride is a wonderful experience for an individual or an entire family, and Montana has plenty of professional companies who offer lessons for beginners to expert equestrians, such as Jake's Horses (www.jakeshorses.com,) or Lone Mountain Ranch (www.lonemountainranch.com,) both in Big Sky.

Kaneko Dining Room (Willamette University)
This is another of Willamette University's hidden dining opportunities. It's located on the main floor of Kaneko Commons, just south of Mission Mill on Mill ST SE. Marc Marelich; Bon Appetit's Director of food service at WU assures me that it is indeed open to the public.
It is open for breakfast and lunch only. Their lunch menu can be viewed at: http://willamette.cafebonappetit.com/cafes/kaneko/weekly_menu.html. Typically they have a Weekly Entrée, three "Market Fresh" lunches, Kettles (Soups), a Noodle Bar, and a Donburi Bar. (All but the Weekly Entree may change daily),
Don't be put off by the cafeteria style set-up. This is quality food. Today I had their Weekly Entrée which was Slow Roasted BBQ Painted Hills Beef Brisket served with real Mashed Potatoes & delicious white Gravy and Steamed Broccoli Crowns. The meat was cooked to such tenderness that it just fell apart on the fork and the BBQ sauce had a hint of Mustard and was not overly sweet. An excellent meal for just $5.75! I can't wait to return and try their Market Fresh offerings and Donburi Bar!
Gaining entry and getting out was a bit of a challenge requiring some improvisation on my part. I am told that today was the first day they were open since the holiday break. Someone had neglected to deactivate the automatic locks on the building effectively locking anyone without a key-card out and then, when other means of entry were employed, in. It made for an even more interesting lunch adventure with a delicious hint of naughtiness to it. It's one which should not be necessary to repeat during future visits.
One more untried lunch destination on the Willamette campus remains. Cat Cavern! Stay tuned more to come!

Kiley Davis is a wonderful Executive Chef and business man. Every time I take my family to Kaneko to eat we are greeted by Kiley and other staff who talk with us about the food. He definitely has a passion for cooking and loves Japanese food! He is surely going places with his love of the kitchen!

Mmmmm sounds good!
I would like to try them! They were featured on Rachel Ray's 40 dollars a day!
This wasn't featured on Rachael's show, actually... another Willamette Univ spot, Goudy Commons was. Great food and prices as well there.
It's definitely delicious and a great local secret. The cost is amazing for the food that you get. The chef there really knows what they're doing and it's always fun to go there because they actually are nice as well!
And by the way Goudy, when it was featured on Rachael Ray had Kiley as the chef, but now he's moved on to Kaneko, so you have to follow him since he's the one that she loved.

SWMBO and I took another run at Kaneko Cafe today. I tried the Donburi Bar at which you create your own dish from the selection of ingredients. I started with a large mound of Sticky Rice straight from the cooker. I then piled on large chunks of Salmon and Tuna then Seaweed, Tofu, Yellow and Zucchini Squash and Bean Sprouts. I doused it all with Miso Soup, Soy Sauce and Chili Pepper Powder. She Who Must Be Obeyed had a big bowl of Miso Soup. We shared a Diet Cola. I was a little distracted at check out but I think both our lunches came to less than $8! Unbelievable!

Do you have hyperhidrosis?
Sweating is a normal bodily function that regulates body temperature. That being said, if you tend to sweat excessively, it can be lead to embarrassing moments. If you're experiencing hyperhidrosis, our experts have strategies that can help.
What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes abnormal levels of sweat production due to overactive sweat glands. It affects people of all ages. There are two types of hyperhidrosis: generalized and focal hyperhidrosis. Generalized hyperhidrosis affects the entire body whereas focal hyperhidrosis affects a specific part of the body like hands and feet or the armpits.
What causes hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis can be a symptom of another chronic disease, a result of unbalanced hormones, or could be inherited genetically. It is a common condition that is more uncomfortable than anything—but there are treatments available that can help reduce symptoms and improve your quality of life.
Do I need to treat my hyperhidrosis?
Getting treatment for hyperhidrosis is entirely up to you and depends on how much the condition is affecting your day to day life. If your excessivive sweating is making you feel self conscious or causing you to avoid physical activity or certain social situations, you might want to consider consulting a doctor to see what options might be available to you.Book an appointment now
- Excess sweat is causing you embarrassment in social settings
- You're often physically uncomfortable because of damp clothing and overheating
- You avoid physical activity in an attempt to reduce sweating
How is hyperhidrosis treated?
As hyperhidrosis is often a symptom of another health issue, it's important to consult a doctor to find the root cause. There are a number of options for treating hyperhidrosis including prescription antiperspirant with a higher concentration of alumninum chloride, oral prescription medications, and injections or surgery to block or remove sweat glands.
- Topical or oral medications
- Injections to block neural control of sweat glands
- Sweat gland removal surgery
What can you expect from treatment?
Sweating is a necessary bodily function that helps maintain your health, but too much sweat have an negative affect on your overall wellbeing. Topical and oral treatment for mild hyperhidrosis will usually provide the results you're looking for, but if your condition requires more aggressive treatment, our dermatologists can help you find a solution that works for you.

In honor of World Tuberculosis (TB) Day , the Health Department is highlighting efforts to prevent the unfold of TB in New York Metropolis. We know that among the Morgies have already been identified with eczema, sarcoidosis, lyme illness, and numerous other illnesses, and some of these people have forgone remedy and opted for a self-diagnosis of Morgellons. Most have also been identified with DOP, and that, too, with some individuals, stays untreated. Michael I had told Tony long long ago that I had CO poisoning from a heater, but nobody would pay attention, he even acquired is damn good friend to inform me that it solely began within the body 28 days. I aint stupid power CO publicity 2 years price, you thought you'll have a party on me, fuck you.

Such digital medical assistants often information the affected person through normal consumption questions, akin to signs and family medical history, and analyze the mixed information with a diagnostic engine so the doctor can take into account clinical options prior to the in-individual examination. Frequent shopper gadgets, corresponding to wearable sensors and biometric units, would let health care providers automatically collect affected person data, along with issues or dialogue items, for the go to. An Accenture analysis reveals that streamlining annual patient visits in this method could save PCPs a median of five minutes per encounter and release 47.eight million hours across the PCP workforce.
Where would you be with out the fibers? Think about it. With out them, wouldn't you just be considered one of many people suffering from what is sort of presumably a big variety of skin disorders? Would there be any motive to imagine that your pores and skin problem is shared by the other Morgellons†victims? Might or not it's that your physician's diagnosis was right? Not all people respond effectively to the same treatment. Might or not it's that you just needed to try some others before writing the physician and the prognosis off utterly? Yes, it might†be, if it weren't for the fibers.
I resent the tone you have. If not the real Morgellons than how in regards to the bucky balls. They do not burn. There may be such a thing as C60, however, if you are stuck on the assorted methods of demeaning people, then you'll never really know what's going on. It might be fascinating to learn the web registrations of the MRF and see just how many people reported which signs and received which diagnoses from their medical doctors previously. Due to this fact, I imagine it's right for all the proclaimed, above common intelligence, victims†to ignore these conditions that trigger the signs they have, and to focus that they're all brought on by the, but, undiscovered pathogen of morgellons diseaseâ€. Their medical doctors have obviously been dumb and simply did not feel like doing their jobs. With enough analysis, like he says, Randy Wymore will find the cure for them, and the end to all their suffering.

One of the first posts I made for nu-Kinja earlier this year was to show off my Lego Jabba's palace and desert skiff, lamenting that my display was missing the then-upcoming Sail Barge. But after a few hours of brick building this Christmas, I got to finish it!
Coming in at about 850 pieces in total, the Khetanna (did you know that was the name of Jabba's Ubrikkan Industries Luxury Sail Barge? I didn't! There's a bloody name for everything in the EU these days) is a pretty neat model in how it all comes together. It's built on actual wheels so it floats just above ground like it's hovering - also makes it very good for swooshing around like you've got the mental age of a 6 year old, like me - and the sides and back are all built on hinges so you can open them up to look inside.
There's... also a old-timey cannon hidden in the front of the barge?
Huh. That wasn't in the film. If it was, Jabba could've used that thing to blow up the skiff with Han, Chewie, Lando and Luke on when they started fighting. And cut the movie short pretty quickly in the process!
The Barge's interior is bulked out a bit with a small jail cell and a little kitchen for some minion to rustle up blue-y coloured grub for Jabba (whose tail pokes through into the kitchen!) and his guests, and then...
... there's Jabba's throne away from home, complete with Slave Leia in chains (I wanted to try and put her choking Jabba out, but the chain was too short) and the most adorable little Max Rebo, jamming away on his space-keyboard - which Wookieepedia informs me is actually called a Nalargon, or Red Ball Jett Keyboard. Told you they had a name for everything!
And here's everything all together now:
I was considering buying a second skiff to be true to the sarlacc scene, as well as source some individual minifigs like a C-3PO (who somehow managed to not show up in the 23 minifigures spread across these 4 sets!) and some extra goons for Jabba, but for now it feels nice and complete. Perhaps I should start collecting the Endor sets too, and have the whole movie in Lego form... that might be too crazy, even for me!

Coronado vs. Montwood in key District 1-5A showdown
Friday's Montwood vs. Coronado District 1-5A football showdown could be a classic. Both teams are evenly matched in a lot of ways. Both teams have defenses that make key plays when they have to, both have standout offensive players at the skill spots and both teams are well coached. And of course both teams are 4-1 in District 1-5A and the winner will take a huge step towards winning the district title.
Montwood has been a come from behind team all season long but it has to be careful vs. Coronado. The Thunderbirds have a very good running game behind Bobby Chacon and are capable of putting a team away behind that strong running attack.
Coronado has been a pleasant surprise this year. The team is better in every phase of the game and it has improved tremendously since a Week 0 loss to Midland Lee.
Montwood has found ways to win this year despite trailing in all of its close game. The Rams have tremendous receivers in Warren Redix and Ruben Portillo and a good QB in Jacob Aguilar.
District 1-5A has been fun to watch and follow all year. Expect more of the same in this one.

The Miami HEAT announced today that they have signed free agent guard Carlos Arroyo. According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the deal is for one year and is not a guaranteed contract.
Arroyo, 6'2", 200 pounds, has appeared in 433 regular season NBA games (113 starts) and averaged 7.0 points, 3.3 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 18.2 minutes while shooting 43.2 percent from the field, 31.8 percent from three-point range and 80.1 percent from the foul line. The seven-year NBA veteran spent last season with Maccabi Tel Aviv (Israel), appearing in 28 games averaging 15.3 points, 5.8 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.29 steals in 31.1 minutes of action. Prior to his stint in Israel, Arroyo spent his NBA career with Toronto, Denver, Utah, Detroit and most recently appeared in 161 games (25 starts) with the Orlando Magic over the course of three seasons from 2005-08. Additionally, he has appeared in 29 postseason NBA games and averaged 2.3 points and 1.9 assists in 8.5 minutes of action.
According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, "Coach Erik Spoelstra said Arroyo was one of several candidates considered. Heat President Pat Riley stressed last week that because of concerns about the dollar-for-dollar luxury tax on excessive payroll, the Heat only would offer non-guaranteed, one-year contracts to such candidates. For a player of Arroyo's experience, that is $1.1 million. Arroyo's contract would not become fully guaranteed until Jan. 10."
Arroyo, a Puerto Rican native, helped lead the Puerto Rican Men's National Team to a Bronze medal in the Olympic qualifying tournament in 2003 and also led the national team to a sixth place finish in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. In 2001, he became just the fifth player from Puerto Rico to play in the NBA.
During his colligate career in Miami at Florida International University, Arroyo became just the second player in school history to score at least 1,600 career points. He finished his FIU career setting school records with 459 assists and 177 steals. He also ranked second in school history in three-point field goals made (174), third in field goals made (562) and third in free throws made (302).
Arroyo will wear number 8.

Unfortunately, Christian Theology has evolved through the centuries into many varied doctrines and teachings. A doctrine that scripture does not support which has corrupted the correct understanding of God's plan of redemption for the nation of Israel, is the teaching of Replacement Theology otherwise known as Supersession Theology.
Dr Schofield summarizes the matter very well as he states in his opening comments of the four Gospels; "…the legacy in Protestant thought from the post-Apostolic and Roman Catholic
theology, is that the Church is the true Israel and that the Old Testament foreview of the kingdom is fulfilled in the Church." Schofield continues, that to achieve a true and proper understanding concerning the covenants of God with Israel, that one must not; "assume that the "throne of David" [Luke 1:32] has become synonymous with "my Fathers throne" [Rev 3:21] or that the "house of Jacob" [Lk 1:32] is the church comprised of both Jew and Gentile."
This false concept and teaching resulted in great atrocities and persecutions being committed against the Jews in the name of the Church and "Christianity". Unfortunately, this does not reflect the true heart of what original Christianity was founded upon.
The Apostle Paul clearly established what the Christian's position and relationship with the nation and people of Israel should be. He respectfully refers to the Nation of Israel as; "…my kinsmen according to the flesh:" [Rom 9:3] Paul's love for them was so great, that he was willing even to lay down his life and be "accursed" or "cut off" on their behalf. [Rom 9:3]
This is the example and what the conduct should be for all Christians. [Rom. 11:11,12,15,18,26-27; 15:27] Contrary to church history, there were never any forced conversions recorded in scripture. The firm conviction of Christians For The Temple is to respect the Covenants of God to the nation of Israel. Thereby allowing Him to finish His plan of redemption among the chosen nation of Israel as is necessary through His restored presence in the Holy Temple.BLOG COMMENTS POWERED BY DISQUS

This weekend's giveaway is from my favorite place to buy woolens for my family, Little Spruce Organics! I am cold natured and really struggle with winter. This year "they" are predicting a cold, snowy winter for us and I'm a little nervous. We're already into November, and Jonny hasn't started gathering firewood yet, though he assures me he knows exactly where it's coming from. We've had a few fire-worthy cold nights, but the chimney hasn't been cleaned yet either. It seems that every year, we are a little more behind than the previous one. There's just always so much to do during the fall! Thankfully, I ordered all the necessary woolens a few weeks ago, so at least we will have warm layers! Our house is old and drafty, and woolies really make a difference.
In shop owner Bethany's words, "Little Spruce Organics is a small, family-run business that offers a unique selection of organic baby apparel, organic cloth diapering products, breastfeeding apparel, and natural wooden and organic cotton toys. We specialize in woolens for babies and toddlers and are committed to carrying only apparel and cloth diapering products that are made from organic and natural fibers. The products I choose to carry in my store are all a result of my experience as a mother and my strong desire not only to select the most nurturing, natural products for my own children, but to spark the same passion in other mothers who are committed to providing their children with a childhood that is as close to nature as possible."
(Silas is wearing a Disana boiled wool jacket. I am such a fan of boiled wool. It is warm while remaining really flexible, allowing for plenty of movement. He is a big 3 1/2, and I originally ordered the size 4-5 for him, but exchanged for the 2-3. Disana products are generously sized! Even with the 2-3 Silas will be able to wear layers under the jacket without feeling constricted. Disana makes some of my favorite woolens such as their organic merino wool knitted leggings. They are on sale at Little Spruce right now! You might have noticed my children wearing them over the past few years, most recently Beatrix was wearing a pair in this post. )
(Job is wearing a Cosilana organic wool/silk/cotton shirt. I am very pleased with this little shirt. It makes a very soft, warm but lightweight base layer, but is thick enough to be worn alone on warmer days.)
For today's giveaway, Little Spruce Organics is offering one winner a pair of Disana knitted wool overalls, like the pair that Job is wearing in the above photos (winner will select size and color). In addition, use coupon code "autumn10" for $10.00 off any order of $40.00 or more (there are some brand restrictions- those are listed on our website under "discounts & promotions")
For your chance to win, leave a comment on this post. And don't forget to "like" Little Spruce Organics on Facebook!
Comments are closed and the winner is, ummrania, who commented, "I love wool, and thankfully so does my 10 month old….seriously, when he was wee he would just stare at my knitting and loves to play with balls of yarn."
Thanks, Little Spruce Organics!
