The Beacon Vibe
Clustered around Fishkill Creek is the industrial side of Beacon. The roots of this small city are visible but some hidden remnants remain. Follow Beacon's Main Street to the East End, cross the train tracks and start exploring. You can still get an idea of what an industrial mecca it use to be.
Last season Hudson Valley Bucket List brought small groups around with stories that guests could interact with. During our tours, day trippers and weekenders would stop us, curious into Beacon's most visible history, factory remnants, the buildings. They are truly unique architecturally with each having their own vibe and story.
The new businesses taking up residency in these once retired spaces continue the romantic lore; a once old, dirty factory and transforming them into ultra-unique industrial, modern spaces producing sought after hand crafted Hudson Valley goods and services.
If you have a group of 10 or more, we can coordinate a plan a private tour. Call 845.943.9490 or email

The Overwatch hero Genji can use his Swift Strike ability aimed at a horizontal ledge to perform a huge jump. This is probably a bug that will be removed, but until it is, it's pretty cool and has some interesting gameplay ramifications.
Step by step
To summarize :
On a short distance to a ledge: Press Dash, Forward and Jump simultaneously and immediately let go of Jump.
On a far distance to a ledge: Press Dash, Forward and Jump simultaneously until you complete the animation where Genji climbs up on the ledge, then let go of Jump.
Final tip: On dashes further away aim slightly under the ledge if you're getting stuck. On dashes closer, aim slightly above the ledge.
On maps like Hanamura i've found incredibly useful dash jumps all over, but they're a lot harder to do so I might do that in another video if there's interest.

"Norway's heaviest band".
Messerschmitt is a stoner rock trio originating from Halden, Norway. Though they began back in 2005 and played their first live show in 2006, it was not to be before early 2013 that they were picked up by a label (Fysisk Format) and had their debut album released. Recorded in Halden's famous studio Athletic Sound by Kai Andersen and was mastered by Billy Anderson, the album showcases Messerschmitt's fuzz-fueled stoner doom which they have spent these many years refining – and eventually: perfecting.

This series introduces us to an irresistible new hero for early chapter book readers- Mercy Watson, not just a pig, a porcine wonder! Written by Newbery Medal winner, Kate DiCamillo, each book takes us on a madcap adventure with Mercy, Mr. and Mrs. Watson (Mercy's doting parents), Eugenia Lincoln (the cranky neighbor) and her loving sister, Baby. Readers will delight at the antics which all end with a heaping helping of Mercy's favorite food, hot buttered toast!
"Van Dusen's boldly hued, tactically hyperbolic gouache paintings tap into the narrative's wry humor and joie de vivre." ~ Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Van Dusen's larger-than-life characters and retro sensibility extend the dry humor of the situation, and his shiny, rainbow-bright gouache art shoots the energy, especially Mercy's, right off the page." ~ Booklist, starred review
"DiCamillo's suspenseful yarn keeps readers turning the page, while the retro-folksy illustrations by Chris Van Dusen go for laughs and make for a gentle transition from picture books." ~ Family Fun
These are the first books I've illustrated but not written and I couldn't have been paired with a better writer. Kate's stories are wonderful and I have had so much fun coming up with how her characters look.

11 Surprising Facts About the Digestive System
1 of 13
The digestive system has two main functions: to convert food into nutrients your body needs, and to rid the body of waste. To do its job, the system requires the cooperation of a number of different organs throughout the body, including the mouth, stomach, intestines, liver and gallbladder.
Here are 11 facts about the digestive system that may surprise you.
2 of 13
Food doesn't need gravity to get to your stomach.
When you eat something, the food doesn't simply fall through your esophagus and into your stomach. The muscles in your esophagus constrict and relax in a wavelike manner called peristalsis, pushing the food down through the small canal and into the stomach.
Because of peristalsis, even if you were to eat while hanging upside down, the food would still be able to get to your stomach.
3 of 13
Laundry detergents take cues from the digestive system.
Laundry detergents often contain several different classes of enzymes, including proteases, amylases and lipases. The human digestive system also contains such enzymes.
The digestive system also employs these types of enzymes to break down food. Proteases break down proteins, amylases break down carbohydrates and lipases break down fats. For example, your saliva contains both amylases and lipases, and your stomach and small intestine use proteases.
4 of 13
Your stomach doesn't do most of the digestion.p> It's commonly believed that the stomach is the center of digestion, and the organ does play a large role in "mechanical digestion" — it churns food, and mixes it with gastric juices, physically breaking up food bits and turning them into a thick paste called chyme.
But the stomach is actually involved in very little chemical digestion, the process that reduces food to the size of molecules, which is necessary for nutrients to be taken up into the bloodstream.
Instead, the small intestine, which makes up about two-thirds of the length of the digestive tract, is where most of the digestion and absorption of nutrients takes place. After further breaking down the chyme with powerful enzymes, the small intestine absorbs the nutrients and passes them into the bloodstream.
5 of 13
The surface area of the small intestine is huge.
The small intestine is about 22 feet (7 meters) long, and about an inch (2.5 centimeters) in diameter. Based on these measurements, you'd expect the surface area of the small intestine to be about 6 square feet (0.6 square m) — but it's actually around 2,700 square feet (250 square m), or about the size of a tennis court.
That's because the small intestine has three features that increase its surface area. The walls of the intestine have folds, and also contain structures called villi, which are fingerlike projections of absorptive tissue. What's more, the villi are covered with microscopic projections called microvilli.
All of these features help the small intestine to better absorb food.
6 of 13
Stomachs vary in the animal kingdom.
The stomach is an integral part of the digestive system, but it's not the same in all animals. Some animals have stomachs with multiple compartments. (They're often mistakenly said to have multiple stomachs.) Cows and other "ruminants" — including giraffes, deer and cattle — have four-chambered stomachs, which help them digest their plant-based food.
But some animals — including seahorses, lungfishes and platypuses — have no stomach. Their food goes from the esophagus straight to the intestines.
7 of 13
Flatulence gets its smell from bacteria.p> Intestinal gas, or flatus, is a combination of swallowed air and the gasses produced by the fermentation of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. The digestive system cannot break down or absorb certain components of foods, and those substances simply get pushed along the tract, and make their way into the large intestine. Hordes of intestinal bacteria get to work, releasing a variety of gases in the process, including carbon dioxide, hydrogen, methane and hydrogen sulfide (which gives flatulence its rotten-egg stench).
8 of 13
The digestive system is cancer prone.
Each year, more than 270,000 Americans develop a cancer of the gastrointestinal tract, including cancers of the esophagus, stomach, colon and rectum. About half of these cancers result in death. In 2009, colorectal cancer killed almost 52,000 people in the U.S., more than any other cancer except lung cancer.
What's more, the digestive system is home to more cancers, and causes more cancer mortalities, than any other organ system in the body.

A sword swallower helped doctors look inside the stomach.
An endoscope is an instrument used to examine organs and cavities inside the body. The German physician Philipp Bozzini developed a primitive version of the endoscope, called the lichtleiter (meaning "light conductor"), in the early 1800s to inspect a number of bodily areas, including the ear, nasal cavity and urethra.
Half a century later, French surgeon Antoine Jean Desormeaux developed another instrument, which he named the "endoscope," to examine the urinary tract and bladder.
In 1868, German doctor Adolph Kussmaul used an endoscope to look inside the stomach of a living person for the first time. Unlike today's endoscopes, Kussmaul's instrument was not flexible, making it difficult to guide the instrument deep into the body. So Kussmaul employed the talents of a sword swallower, who could easily gulp down the 18.5-inch by 0.5-inch (47 cm by 1.3 cm) instrument that Kussmaul designed.
10 of 13
A man with a hole in his stomach provided a window into digestion.
In 1822, a fur trapper accidentally shot a 19-year-old man named Alexis St. Martin. Army surgeon William Beaumont successfully patched up St. Martin, but the trapper was left with a hole in his stomach's abdominal wall, which is called a fistula. The fistula allowed Beaumont to investigate the workings of the stomach in entirely new ways.
Over the next decade, Beaumont conducted 238 experiments on St. Martin, some of which involved sticking food directly into his patient's stomach. He drew a number of important inferences from his work, including that fever can affect digestion, and that digestion was more than just a grinding motion of the stomach but also required hydrochloric acid.
11 of 13
The stomach must protect itself — from itself.
Cells along the inner wall of the stomach secrete roughly 2 liters (0.5 gallons) of hydrochloric acid each day, which helps kill bacteria and aids in digestion. If hydrochloric acid sounds familiar to you, it may be because the powerful chemical is commonly used to remove rust and scale from steel sheets and coils, and is also found in some cleaning supplies, including toilet-bowl cleaners.
To protect itself from the corrosive acid, the stomach lining has a thick coating of mucus. But this mucus can't buffer the digestive juices indefinitely, so the stomach produces a new coat of mucus every two weeks.
12 of 13
Physicians treated peptic ulcers incorrectly for nearly a century.
Peptic ulcers are painful sores on the lining of the esophagus, stomach or small intestine, and they affect approximately 50 million Americans each year, according to a 2007 study in the journal American Family Physician.
Physicians long thought that stress and spicy food caused people to develop the sores — an explanation that seemed to make sense, given that ulcer patients often complain about burning pain after eating spicy food. So for almost 100 years, doctors prescribed a treatment involving rest and a bland diet.
In 1982, Australian researchers Barry Marshall and Robin Warren discovered that the real culprit behind ulcers is the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, which burrows into the stomach's mucosal lining. Thanks to this finding, doctors have come up with a better treatment for ulcers: antibiotics.
This discovery earned Marshall and Warren the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2005.
13 of 13
Stomach rumbling can happen at any time, not just when you're hungry.
Borborygmi, or stomach rumblings, are the result of peristalsis in the stomach and small intestines — that is, they're due to normal digestion as food, fluid and gases pass through your gastrointestinal tract. When the tract is empty, however, borborygmi are louder because there's nothing in there to muffle the sound.
So why are the muscles contracting at all when there's no food in the stomach?
After the stomach empties its contents into the small intestine, it sends signals to the brain. The brain responds by telling the digestive muscles to commence the process of peristalsis. The muscle contractions ensure that no excess food was left in the stomach, and the resulting growls signal to you that your body needs food.

Nigeria President Buahari at last Speaks On The Recall to Office Of The Pension Thief Abdulrasheed Maina.
Buhari on Monday directed the immediate dismissal of Abdulrasheed Maina, a civil servant who went missing for years after being declared wanted for corruption, but was recently reinstated to a higher post.
The president said the circumstances of Mr. Maina's return to the civil service must be investigated.
A statement by presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina, said Mr. Buhari had ordered "immediate disengagement of Mr Abdulrasheed Maina from service."
The president directed the Head of Service of the Federation, Winifred Oyo-Ita, to submit to the office of the Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, before the end of work today, Monday, a report on the circumstances leading to Mr. Maina's recall.
Read the statement issued by presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina, Monday:
President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the immediate disengagement from service of Mr Abdullahi Abdulrasheed Maina, former chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms.
In a memo to the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, the President equally demanded a full report of the circumstances of Maina's recall and posting to the Ministry of Interior.
Recall that the minister of Interrior had confirmation Maina's resumption of duty in a statement issued by his Press Secretary, Mr Ehisienmen Osaigbovo, on Sunday. Osaigbovo, had in the confirmatory statement, however, debunked media reports that his principal was one of those responsible for Maina's "re-instatement".
According to him, "Maina was posted few days ago to the Ministry of Interior by the Office of the Head of Service on an Acting capacity to fill a vacancy created following the retirement of the Director heading the Human Resources Department in the Ministry.
"For the avoidance of doubt, issues relating to discipline, employment, re-engagement, posting, promotion and retirements of federal civil servants are the responsibility of the Federal Civil Service Commission and Office of the Head of Service of the Federation.
"No minister exercises such powers as erroneously expressed in this publication. "It is understood that Maina's last posting was with the Ministry of Interior, and that is probably why he was re-posted back to the ministry," he said. But a statement by Femi Adesina, on Monday, said President Buhari ordered the immediate disengagement of Maina from service.
He said President Buhari also demanded for the full report on the circumstances of Maina's recall. Maina was appointed by former President Goodluck Jonathan as Chairman of the task force in 2010 to check the corruption in the country's pension system.
In 2012, the Nigeria Police accused him of misappropriating N100 billion pension funds in connivance with others. The Civil Service Commission reportedly dismissed him for "absconding from duty''.
Maina was arraigned in absentia by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which declared him wanted in 2015. The anti-graft agency, through its spokesman, Mr Wilson Uwujaren, says the former pension task force chairman remains on the commission's wanted list.

Nahum Part 11 – The trees of the field clap their hands
by Pete Wilson
This Scripture like all Scripture is about you and me if we are proven to be God's sons and found faithful in the end (Rev 17:14) i.e. end of our ages in each of our lives. Our carnal instinct is to put these words off on someone else, perhaps on the people still in Orthodoxy or maybe some babes that just came into the fellowship of the saints. But they certainly cannot apply to us we want to believe. But oh yes, they do and we had best remember these Words of fire.
Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
We cannot take away these words of Nahum and not apply them to ourselves. It is only by living them that the man is blessed and brought to life in this age. That is the prize and upwards calling of Christ that comes to so very few. The story of King David as a type of Christ yet in a marred vessel of weak flesh is our story. Like David, we will fall down hard into sin at times in order to be taught the righteousness of Jesus Christ (Isa 26:9). We (you and me and all men) in our own turn, are the man who does these evil things and we are paying the consequences as the wages of all sin is death. Like David found out, having the truth in an outward form of godliness is not enough. We must do the truth in order to have power over sin.
A prophet of the Lord "is, was and will be" sent to God's Elect and they are speaking words that reveal our rebellion and sin against the Lord. We all claim our righteousness yet still "oppress the poor and kill Christ" as the story of 2 Samuel 12 conveys. Having been told of this egregious sin we become indignant and seek vengeance on the oppressor not aware that we are the man. The Word will prick our hearts in that day which is now on His House.
2Sa 12:7 And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
Having been given all the gifts of God and possessing our Master's House in the Body, we still seek to save our life in the flesh and despise the Lord's commands.
2Sa 12:9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
Yet our day of judgment has come, now the Lord who was delivered through our offences, will be raised again through our justification (Rom 4:25). It is both a wonderful and terrible thing to have a sword abiding on our house. The Lord will use it to raise up evil from within us as Nahum has prophesied to reveal our wickedness to ourselves.
2Sa 12:10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
2Sa 12:11 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
Our justification will be done before the Body of Christ; before the Sun of Righteousness.
2Sa 12:12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
We will come to see ourselves as natural reasoning beasts in far greater depravity than we once thought and we will continue to be humbled by and through this process. That first born child of our adulterous fornicating relationship of Truth and carnal lusts must die for the true man child to come forth. We come to see our sin and are given to see our continued fornication with this world WITHIN AND WITHOUT. The great grasshoppers within that kept us from being diligent are removed from our vision and the yet carnal child shall surely die within us.
2Sa 12:14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.
As horrible as all of this sounds, it is very necessary for us to endure the words of the prophecy of the Book of Nahum. It is the only way we learn good and evil and are brought forward to maturity where our fruit can abide and be used for the Lord. The Lord truly makes free!
Heb 5:1 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Ecc 1:13 I applied my heart to inquiring and exploring by wisdom concerning all that is done under the heavens:it is an experience of evil Elohim has given to the sons of humanity to humble them by it.
Here are the final two verses of the Book of Nahum.
Nah 3:18 Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.
Nah 3:19 There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
This prophesy ends very abruptly. Where is the beautiful ending where the war is over and everyone is happy and joyous and there is peace in the land? This prophesy ends with the fatalistic prognosis that the wound is grievous and there is not going to be any healing. There are not many secular studies on Nahum and it is easy to understand why. Those without "ears to hear and eyes to see" are totally unaware of what the Scriptures say and mean and do not have a clue to the strange act of the Lord in bringing forth new life through death.
Prophets such as Nahum in type and shadow and all of God's sons [those who have the Spirit of Christ] are being sent to prepare the way for the fire to come. We know what the Lord is doing in this regard before He does it so we are being prepared to endure it.
Amo 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
If we know the definition of LOVE (Agape) and keep in mind it means obedience to the Lord's commandments (1 Jo 5:3), then the love chapter of Corinthians takes on a whole new meaning. Being blessed with all this knowledge and understanding (riches, treasures of the Temple) and being placed in the Body of Christ, amount to nothing without love and our ministry is nothing more than a clanging gong.
1Co 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
1Co 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
Last's week's sobering message reminded us that we must endure to the end and take heed of the things we know and be diligent, lest we drift away. Here is another admonishment of the same.
Heb 2:1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.
Heb 2:2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,
Heb 2:3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,
My hope is in the commands of Christ in me and you, and that the Lord will turn and heal us every day so that His commands overtake the prophet's words.
Zec 1:4 (NLT) Don't be like your ancestors who would not listen or pay attention when the earlier prophets said to them, 'This is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies says: Turn from your evil ways, and stop all your evil practices.'
Nah 3:18 Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.
To slumber is to not work. The working of the wicked one, the messengers of Baal within us, is silenced in the purging of our carnal mindedness. The king of our fleshly kingdoms within (the King of Assyria) which shall dwell in the dust and the carnal shepherds which are those great grasshoppers will be scattered on these mountains or kingdoms where the spiritual harlot within us sits. We see this same sequence in our latter stage of judgment as the religious beast we are and the great harlot within are judged.
Dan 2:35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
Those false shepherds will no longer work in our heavens as they will be scattered (decreased) by the whirlwind of the Lord's judgment brought by the feet of brass "is, was, and will be" every day. This was in our first study where we saw that we, the Body of Christ, the great cloud of His witnesses are the dust of the Lord's feet.
Nah 1:3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
When the true saviors, the Body of Christ are sent within (Obe 1:21), there will be no slumbering or sleeping. We are to be like our Lord who was like His Father and THEY were always working in the kingdom of God (Joh 5:17). When the armies of the Lord come within and without us, they come quickly and they come without any slumbering (Isa 5:26-28).
Without a shepherd to lead us the Lord causes us to return to His house.
2Ch 18:16 Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace.
We that hear the Word and enter through the door are the shepherds of the sheep not like the hirelings who flee when the wolves come.
Joh 10:2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
We are all scattered when the shepherd within us is smitten.
Zec 13:7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
Zec 13:8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
Zec 13:9 And I will bring the third part (the latter judgment) through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
The carnal man will not be gathered back, the Assyrian King will dwell in the dust being an inherent part of the beast that "was, is not but yet is" as long as we occupy the clay vessels.
But the wheat representing His Elect will be gathered back from the four winds of heaven. This baptism of fire (Mat 3:11) is orchestrated by the fanners which are the Lord's Elect and through the Words we speak.
Mat 3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Rev 14:18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
Nah 3:19 There is no healing of thy bruise [H7667]; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
The affliction of the old man with his carnal mind is the bruise that will not be healed. The old man is being destroyed and that is all by the Lord's design (Jer 18:4, 1 Cor 15:50, Rom 8:20). The word translated as bruise is the Strong's Hebrew word H7667 "sheber". This is most often used as destruction and interestingly enough is the word translated hurt, from which Babylon heals us superficially in Jeremiah 6 and 8.

It is the other jesus we falsely believe wants to stop this "destruction" within us when the reality is He is the One causing it.
This bruise is the same breach in our walls for whom the Lord looked for someone to stand in the gap but found none (Eze 22:30). The old man is not being saved period. In fact the old man is instead purposefully being destroyed. The marred vessel of Jeremiah 18 is this destroyed vessel in the hands of the Potter who is working ALL THINGS.
Jer 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was DESTROYED/marred [H7483]: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter in the hand of the potter to make it.
Notice that all we do (you and me), both good and bad, either spirit led or carnally minded was done in the hand of the Potter. The Lord uses it all to bring about good in the end.
Jer 30:11 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
Jer 30:12 For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.
Jer 30:13 There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.
Our true healing will come only to the new man. He IS BEING healed and all the nations within us by abiding in the heavenly city of Jerusalem with time.
Rev 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Rev 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
The head of the serpent within us is given a deadly wound from which there will be no recovery. The ten horned seven headed beasts of our father the devil are given this deadly bruise by the feet of the woman which is the Bride of Christ in type and shadow. We just have to be patient and wait for the Lord to accomplish the incurable bruising of the serpent's head (Gen 3:15).
Rom 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
Practically speaking this all happens by the old man being smitten by the new man within us. Jesus Christ, when He appears in our heavens, does not bring peace but a sword. He comes to divide and the old man will indeed be cut off by the symbolic beheading of our carnal mind. This is the only way to be given the mind of Christ (1 Co 2:16, Rev 20:4).
The payback of "Spiritual Babylon" representing those in the Body of Christ is a double judgment. Our old man is first slain by the Rock that is Christ but then it is also necessary for the head of the beast to be cut off spiritually speaking. That is the purpose of this second coming and our baptism by fire. We see it here in type and shadow in the story of David killing Goliath. We must have the sword in our hands, IN OUR WORK for the Lord to shed the mind of the beast by cutting it off.
1Sa 17:50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
1Sa 17:51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
For us to not worship the beast anymore, recognizing the beast "was, is not and yet is" (Rev 17:18), the head must be cut off and that is exactly what is being concluded here in Nahum.
Clapping of Hands
Our last verse tells us that all that hear the report or fame of our carnally minded old man/beast will clap their hands over us as this state of being is destroyed within us. This was confusing to me and took a lot of digging to come to the knowledge of what is really being said here. It turns out there is both a positive and a negative to every word of Christ including references to the clapping of hands.
To clap our hands physically we must bring our right and left hands together to make a sound. That is what happens in the Spirit if we apply Romans 1:20. Knowing that "Christ" is the right hand of the Lord and "Satan" the left hand. Job chapter 1 and the coming together of the Lord, Satan and the sons of God illustrates this.
Job 1:11 But put forth thine hand (The Lord's) now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
Job 1:12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand (Satan's). So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
Spiritually speaking clapping hands is what we do when this war of the carnal mind vs the spirit is waging. A noise is made and as we will see it is linked to the sounds of a trumpet and the blowing of trumpets that bring forth victory and salvation. Both sides of the sword come into view in looking at the spiritual significance of hand clapping.
According to my review of several Jewish or religious history sites, unlike our modern traditions the clapping of hands in ancient times was a custom to show disdain, disagreement and generally a negative attitude about somebody or something. A quick run through of these four verbs translated at times as the word CLAP will show this.
H5606 – smite, striketh, smote, clap
Num 24:10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
Job 27:23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
H5221 – smote, smitten, kill, slew, clapped
Eze 22:13 Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.
2Ki 11:12 And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.
The intent of clapping was to express their intent to smite and destroy the wicked Queen Althaliah, replacing her with the rightful king, six-year-old Joash. Here is a third word only found three places but always translated as clap and includes a most famous passage.
H4222 – clap, clappeth, A primitive root; to rub or strike the hands together (in exultation): – clap.
Eze 25:6 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;
Isa 55:12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Finally, the word translated as clap in our focused verse of Nahum 3:19 comes from H8628.
H8628, taw-kah'
A primitive root; to clatter, that is, slap (the hands together), clang (an instrument); by analogy to drive (a nail or tent pin, a dart, etc.); by implication to become bondsman (by handclasping): – blow ([a trumpet]), cast, clap, fasten, pitch [tent], smite, sound, strike, X suretiship, thrust.
Total KJV occurrences: 69
Of the sixty-nine occurrences of this Hebrew word, it is only translated clap twice. Here is the only other place it is used as clap.
Psa 47:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
Psa 47:2 For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.
Psa 47:3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
This clapping of hands like the use in Nahum 3:19 is associated with subduing the enemies of God within us which means gaining dominion over the pulls of the flesh and carnal mind. What is very instructive to extract the parable of the clapping of hands is to look at how this word H8628 is used in the majority of the cases. Here we see words that continue the linkage with actions like smite, smitten and slay when one considers what the blowing of trumpets and the bringing of judgment represent.

Clapping of hands whether in a positive reference (the coming forth of the new man), or a negative reference (the destruction and death of the old man and carnal mind) are one in the same. The dream is ONE and both represent the work of the Lord bringing salvation to His people. This is through the war in our heaven (Rev 12:9). It is "Christ" who does the work of the Lord within and without so we use our hands to cast light on the wicked and to bring forth praises for the good work of the Lord in ourselves and in our brethren. Both sides of this transaction are worthy of clapping!
The clapping of hands and the breaking out of the hills and mountains with joy, is the new man coming forth within us as the Word is working its work in the kingdom of God within us. Here are a couple examples of the hands of the Lord at work using H8628 (the same word translated clap in its more frequent translation as blow or blew).
Eze 33:3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
Jos 6:16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
Amo 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
And who is it that brings this judgment? The Body of Christ (The Elect) are the saviors that come upon Mt. Esau to judge the nations within and without (Oba 1:21) in the times appointed. The Body of Christ, are the hands of the Lord through which He does His work on the earth including being His Battle Axe.
Joh 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Men represent trees in Scripture (Mar 8:24). The trees of the field shall clap their hands is part of the process of salvation coming to all men. These trees smite the hands of the wicked by clapping of their hands and they also clap their hands with joy for the coming forth of Christ as He is gloried and raised up within us. The war of the flesh versus the spirit in our day of judgment creates the sounds of salvation which is the clapping of the hands of the trees of the field. This is all accomplished by the Word, the fire of God, working in our heavens.
Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Isa 55:12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Isa 55:13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
The clapping of hands is the blowing of the trumpet and bringing the Lord's judgment to those prepared to hear it. That is what saves us and how we learn righteousness as we have reminded ourselves constantly in this series.
1Co 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
1Co 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
Christ comes only for the sick and the lame, not to those without a need for a spiritual physician. Coming to see that the bruise of the flesh king within us will not be healed is essential for this process to complete its course. As bad as all of this sounds, it is truly the prerequisite for the coming of Christ within us the SECOND time for salvation without sin.
Mat 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
The clapping of hands are the praises of men who have had their cries for deliverance from their enemies answered by the Lord from heaven.
Psa 98:8 Let the floods (River) clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together
Psa 98:9 Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
This Psalm speaks to the trees of the field that clapping having been delivered by the implanted Word that is bringing forth lasting fruit unto the Lord. With the King of Assyria within us no longer working (slumbering), then the conflict with the Lord's work in bringing forth fruit can move forward speedily within us as we mature having experienced both good and evil. When Christ in us sees Satan as lightning falling we return with great joy.
Luk 10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
And here is what that produces in us in increasing quantity.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
This entire prophecy has been about the burden we all carry being carnally minded, being created subject to vanity, and seeking to serve the Lord. This must be burned out of us through many trials and tribulations for us to find the true rest that remains for the people of God (Heb 4:9).
The natural enmity of the carnal mind will war against the law of Christ in our minds (Rom 7:23). It requires Christ coming a second time to "Nineveh", the great city and capital of Assyrian and Babylon WITHIN us (Luke 17:21). Until Christ brings this war in our heavens via the fiery judgments (Rev 12), we are incapable of obeying the Lord in Truth and in spirit. There is a process of spiritual progression and maturity required to implant the Lord's ways into our hearts and minds. Only once the field is planted with good seed, will it bear fruit for the Lord and this prophecy explains this in its three short chapters. The titles of the eleven studies illustrate this progression yet there was no conscious design on my part to do so.
- The Burden of Nineveh – Nah 1:1 The burden of Nineveh
- He rebukes the sea
- No more of thy name be sown
- Then Shall the Wicked Be Revealed
- The goodness of God brings repentance
- Devouring the devourers
- Behold I am against thee
- Shaking by a Mighty Wind
- You are yet Carnal
- The Great Grasshoppers
- The trees of the field clap their hands
The study taking eleven parts is all the Lord's work yet that is very telling also as it confirms the prophecy. Eleven representing the destruction of the perfection of the flesh (10) and being one short of the number twelve which represents our spiritual foundation. So when our flesh is as good as it can be; it is still no good to God and it must be destroyed (Mar 10:18, Ecc 7:20). The Law is good but still a shadow of good things to come.
Of course being remade and our achievement of salvation is all an earnest deposit of the fullness to come. So we are not physically being killed but what must take place is our carnal mindedness needs to be destroyed [we are being led as lambs to the slaughter]. The carnal mindset is death and this must change for us to be of service to the Lord, even in down payment form.
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh ("yet carnal") cannot please God.
The carnal mind makes living and abiding in the Word so burdensome and so frustrating. We complain, gripe, and go on emotional roller coasters as we respond to the scourging grace the Lord is injecting into our lives. These fiery trials are a huge burden to carry if we think about them and respond to them as a natural man would. The burden is heavy and the yoke is truly oppressive when we strive with our Lord and remain outside of the true rest before we surrender the ghost in down payment form and submit to Christ. There is great gain to be had when we are content with what the Lord is doing in our lives (1 Ti 6:6). When our obedience is complete we lack nothing.
Thankfully nothing is impossible for our Lord and He is causing chastening grace that always increases when sin abounds (Rom 5:20). And as we progress more and more onward to maturity, being dragged there, the yoke becomes easy and the burden is truly light.
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
So we all learn patience in waiting for these things to be fulfilled in our heavens. We have faith [a gift] but we also are being taught patience and to watch and pray continuously.
Pro 10:25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
Luk 21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Luk 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
Surely this study and these words are not comforting to our flesh and carnal mind. But they are a comfort to the NEW MAN and if we recall Study #2, we will remember that Nahum's name means to comfort. So I hope this study has stirred me and you up to be more vigilant about our walk and bring a measure of patience to endure what the Lord has written in each of our books (Psa 139:16) from the foundation of the world, our days before they even were.

I wish I could buy every crop top this brand puts out. With a mix of surf and grunge styles, I've always been a shorts and tee girl at heart, so this brand just speaks to me. Particularly as we're in the summer season, I wouldn't mind getting to stock my wardrobe with their stuff.
I'm sure 9/10 girls were obsessed at some point with their high-waisted disco pants. American Apparel is a bit more on the expensive side, but their items are great quality and you know they're going to last.
Quality fashion items at a cheap price, you just can't go wrong. They add items everyday, so I love heading back there, browsing and adding things to my cart, and then sadly closing down the page knowing I can't have it all, as you do.
Cute florals and patterns, with a little bit of hippy, is how I would describe the clothes Beginning Boutique put out, and I love them! Whether you're looking for something to dress up in for a night out, or something to wander around in on a summer day, they've got something for both. They also have some great accessories to add on as well.
I've always loved surf brands. Like I said before, I've always been a shorts and tee girl, and surf brands always deliver great pieces. I also always love the swimmers this brand puts out, particularly when the summer season roles in. A bit of a tip, jump on those swimmers when they go on sale during the winter season to save yourself some dollars.
Another place that offers good quality, on trend pieces for a price that won't clear out your bank account. They also tend to do some great sales. Their gym and underwear sections are also on point.
I've had an obsession with their boots since they came out. I've also recently fallen in love with their sandals. It's just something about their chunky look, throwing them on will instantly grunge up any outfit perfectly.
If you're a fan of any of these brands as well, and are feeling the itch to get your shop on, but you're a bit worried about seeing those dollars flow out of your bank account, never fear.
All of these brands can be found on Fashion Lane. Fashion Lane is basically your one-stop shop for finding all the sales happening online now. Everyday they bring together discounts from over 100 brands, so you never miss out. They also have a Price Alert feature which will let you know when that dress you've had your eye on for weeks finally drops in price, which is both perfect, and dangerous, for the shopaholics of the world. If a brand you love isn't on there yet it just might be soon, because Fashion Lane are constantly adding new brands to their page. So keep your eye out.

It was the first time I'd seen this one and couldn't believe all the amazing pieces. While I neither have kids, nor am expecting any time soon, I couldn't help but fall in love with a few items that I think would look great in our house right now!
These industrial baskets with numbered liners would be perfect for storage in our basment when we eventually finish it!!
I absolutely love these ABC floor cushions. Yes, I know they're pretty kid friendly, but they'd also be pretty awesome in said basement. Or a really expensive dog bed.... Ms. Finley would definitely love something chic like this!!
Alright, so while I would never actually pay this much for a pinboard. But I have been searching out an antique frame at a reasonable price for a really long time to no luck. But since I am in the process of re-doing our office, I will definitely be on the lookout for something similar to this for our space!
I'm also totally awaiting the day I have kids so I can do up a ridiculously ostentatious room like this!

Manchester City are set to enter the race for Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale, according to the Daily Star.
It's been suggested that the Citizens, who have made an inconsistent start to the season, have now set their sights on the man who has been rated at the astronomical price of £90 million.
Three horse race
City, then, have joined Premier League rivals Manchester United and Chelsea in the race to bring the Welsh wizard back to England's elite division.
Bale only departed England for the Bernabeu in the summer of 2013, but recent reports have indicated that he could return sooner rather than later, despite his agent David Manasseh playing down rumours of a summer switch.
In fact, Manasseh only recently stated: "Rubbish! Rumours of a of a possible transfer of Gareth Bale are absolute garbage!
"It is simply not true that Gareth Bale wants to return to the Premier League in any way. Things are going well in Madrid and he wants to continue playing for Madrid."
It appears that it won't be easy for the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea to secure the player's services, but the trio of clubs certainly look set to monitor the former Tottenham man throughout the course of the season.
It remains to be seen, however, as to whether any of the Premier League's elite clubs make a move for the superstar anytime soon.
City attack
Manchester City, though, certainly seem intent on splashing the cash in 2015, as they look to finally crack Europe's elite competition. With the likes of David Silva, Sergio Aguero and Co. already starring at the Etihad, the signing of Bale would certainly make Manuel Pellegrini's side a force to be reckoned with.
But, with Manchester United and Chelsea both lurking, City certainly won't have it all their own way as they attempt to bring Bale back to England. In fact, Madrid may well be reluctant to sell the superstar, but it's likely speculation regarding the player's long term future will continue throughout the course of the season.
Bale, though, will be hoping to flourish at the Bernabeu over the coming months after a successful debut season under Carlo Ancelotti in Madrid.

The big decision is whether to PAINT or not to PAINT. When you look at your home from across the road, does it look exhausted and dull? If so, a paint job may be THE RIGHT MOVE. It is often a very good investment and really spruces up the appearance of a home, adding valuable dollars to offers from possible homebuyers.
When choosing a color, it should not be something brash and odd, but a color that fits well in your neighborhood. Of course, the color also depends on the design of your home, too. For some reason, different shades of yellow seem to elicit the best response in homebuyers, whether it is in the trim or the basic color of the house.
As for the roof, if you know your roof leaks, repair it. If you do not repair a leaky roof, you are going to have to disclose it and the buyer will want an entire new roof. If you know your roof leaks and you don't repair it and don't disclose it, look forward to hearing from lawyers at some point in the future.
Otherwise, wait and see what the home inspector says. Why spend money unnecessarily?
The back yard should be neat. If you have a pool, keep it freshly maintained and constantly cleaned. For those that have pets, be sure to always keep the area clear of "debris." If you have swing sets or anything detailed for your kids, it probably makes more sense to remove them than to leave them in place. They take up room, and you want your back yard to appear as generous as possible, especially in newer houses where the yards are not as large.
The front door should be particularly sharp, since it is the entryway into the home. buff the door fixture so it gleams. If the door needs refinishing or repainting, make sure to get that done.
If you have a cute little plaque or shingle with your family name on it, remove it. Even if it is just on the mailbox. You can always put it up again once you move. Get a new plush doormat, too. This is something else you can take with you once you move.
Make sure the lock works easily and the key fits properly. When a homebuyer comes to visit your house the agent uses the key from the lock box to unlock the door. If there is trouble working the lock while everyone else stands around twiddle their thumbs, this sends a unenthusiastic first impression to potential homebuyers.

He had been ill "for several years" and died in London at the home of his long-term partner, his agent, Margaret Hanbury, said. She did not give the cause of death. Ballard was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2006.
"His acute and visionary observation of contemporary life was distilled into a number of brilliant, powerful novels which have been published all over the world and saw Ballard gain cult status," Hanbury said.
Writing in the New York Times in 1990, critic and writer Luc Sante noted that Ballard's "novels are complex, obsessive, frequently poetic and always disquieting chronicles of nature rebelling against humans, of the survival of barbarism in the world of mechanical efficiency, of entropy, anomie, breakdown, ruin."
In explaining his fascination with what Sante called "the dark underside of civilization," Ballard once told an Australian newspaper that "the Enlightenment view of mankind is a complete myth.
"It leads us into thinking we're sane and rational creatures most of the time, and we're not."
Ballard has been admired in British literary circles since the early 1960s.
In a review of the novel "The Drowned World," Kingsley Amis called Ballard "one of the brightest new stars in postwar fiction." Graham Greene said his short story collection "The Disaster Area" was "one of the best science fiction books I have ever read."
In addition to "Empire of the Sun," his notable books include "Running Wild," "The Crystal World" "Crash" and "High Rise."
James Graham Ballard was born Nov. 15, 1930, in Shanghai, where his father ran a large textile firm. He was imprisoned by Japanese troops in 1941 -- an experience he drew on for "Empire of the Sun."
The writer moved to Britain in 1946 and was educated at Cambridge University, where he studied to be a doctor. He served as a Royal Air Force pilot before working as an advertising writer.
Ballard's work was often controversial. His 1973 novel "Crash," which explored contentious themes about people who derive erotic pleasure from automobile accidents, was called "hands-down, the most repulsive book I've yet come across," when it was reviewed in the New York Times in 1973. It was made into a film by David Cronenberg in 1996.
Published in 1984, "Empire of the Sun" was Ballard's most accessible and -- as Sante noted -- "the least typical" of his books. It was adapted for the screen by director Steven Spielberg.
The book told the story of a young boy living through the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, detailing his struggle and his complex emotions toward the invading forces.
"I have -- I won't say happy -- not unpleasant memories of the camp. I remember a lot of the casual brutality and beatings-up that went on, but at the same time we children were playing a hundred and one games all the time," Ballard once said of his childhood internment.
The author was a sharp critic of modern politics who once mocked the West's search for "near mythical weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq in the buildup to the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.
That same year, he turned down the Commander of the British Empire award, stating that his political views wouldn't allow him to accept an honor awarded by a monarch.
Ballard married Helen Matthews in 1954. She died in 1964. He is survived by their three children.
Services are pending.

Greg Vail
by Laura Harrison
planetmullins staff writer
LH. Word is that you and Rob are celebrating the release of your new CD this month on the 23rd at Kikuya Japanese Restaurant. Are you excited?
GV. I am so excited about the release of The Gospel Truth. The concept for this CD has been in my head for 3 + years. I had gone to the planning stage many times, but never had the resources to make it happen. But, with the success of Christmas, The Hymns; I was able to reinvest, and record the Gospel CD. This is a big celebration for Rob and I since it marks the second CD we have recorded and released in 6 months. The Party is going to be at Kikuya in Huntington Beach. This is fitting, since Rob and I have been growing the musical depth in live performance to not only blow local fans away, but also take this magic into the studio. I am so proud of this CD. Great music for a great party...a win-win.
LH. How does this CD differ from other ones you have done?
GV. The Gospel Truth is primarily a collection of my favorite Contemporary Gospel melodies. Many people will not have any background with these songs, but the beauty of instrumental music is taking the heart and message of this music, and removing the barriers of Age, Race, and Language. The power of music really blows me away! I have recorded a lot of other people's material through the years. What makes the project different and special for me is the emotional evolvement with the songs I chose. The last few years came with a lot of emotional pain, and the music I wanted to share represents that which served to sustain me during such difficult times. Europa made this CD because I finally wanted to record it, and this was the next CD scheduled, so I included it for all the fans in the clubs that have been bugging me for 15 years. I have played this song thousands and thousands of times; but with Rob found a new love for it inspired by his creativity. We took the Rob Mullins Band into the studio and simply recorded the magic we had created in clubs and concert stages for years now and it sounds great.
LH. Like Rob, you run your own record company. Tell us about some of the challenges you face doing that.
GV. The biggest challenge is time. I have my kids, Benjamin, 11 years old, and Vanessa, 2 years old this month; I have my responsibilities as Sax Player and Church Sax Player; and now have a website, products for sale, accounting, shipping, manufacturing, distribution, inventory, advertising, promotion, and all the problems each brings. Being a Dad and Sax Player was enough to keep me very tired. Trying to run this new business is exciting, personal (it's kinda running me), and humbling. Every time I turn around I am fixing a mistake I made at some additional expense, with no time scheduled for that mess. Classes at Greg Vail University begin each Monday morning, 8 AM...bring your checkbook.
LH. I see from Rob's schedule that you do almost all the dates that he does live with his band. How did you two meet and get to playing together so much?
GV. Rob and I met many years ago at a Newport Beach club, the Cafe Lido. It was maybe 1989 or so. I came to sit in with the band, and Rob was a sideman that night. We both did a lot of drinking in the 80's, so the only thing I remember him saying to me was, "What are you doing here...Go Home and Practice." I left crushed, stayed away for a month practicing all day, every day. I then returned after a shamed month of practice. I sat in again and Rob came to me after the set and said, "Are you the same guy from a month ago?" I said, "Yes"." Rob said, "You sound a lot better, what did you do?" I said, "Practice," and he said, "good." Of course he has no recollection of these events, but that is how I remember it. We worked together as sidemen for a number of bands the following few years that led up to Kikuya years. Rob called me to play in a rotational basis with his band in the mid 90's. Eventually this led to a full-time position in the Rob Mullins band that continues to this day. Rob was my keyboard player of choice when the Greg Vail Band was started to support my solo debut CD in 1995. Since then I have played on 4 CDs for Rob, and he did all the hard work on my last 2 CDs. I very much enjoy and value Rob's musicianship and friendship, and now owe much of my success with Greg Vail Music to him.
LH. I know you tour with Peter White, and do some gigs with Rick Braun. What is it about playing with Rob that is different?
GV. Rob is a very different leader. His musical background is extreme, and our musical adventure is always a challenging treat. Rob plays all jazz styles during a gig or show. He leaves the door wide open to stretch the music harmonically and encourages everything that makes this music artistic. Jazz is the only American art form that is indigenous to the United States. Playing with Rob's band feels like it is still an art form, and not a radio programmed, business driven money game. We want to be successful in this industry, but Rob does not define that by anything other than musical excellence. We don't have a whole lot of industry help getting our music out there, but the people that hear us love what they hear. Neither art nor artist are dead, they just scare the people that aren't gifted in playing music, and take the process from marketing, to touching listeners with something real. I think we both feel very successful, but also a little too poor at the end of the month.
LH. What do you think makes you stand out in the crowd of a million sax players doing smooth jazz?
GV. The extreme need to be me. No one else can do that as good as I can. I listen to everybody, and admire so many different Sax Players. I now know that the only thing I could possibly have over any of them is the focus and desire to be myself; to be real. Take it or leave it; this is me. My life is a lot more than just music, so I can't expect to see some of the fame that this extreme focus can bring. What I can do is grow, learn, explore, and share through music what I am. I think I said it best in the liner notes to my first CD, e-Motion back in 1995. "I believe that all we truly have to give in life is who we are. I thank God for the opportunity to share my heart and passion through His powerful gift of music."
LH. I noticed that your new CD has a lot of church music on it. Tell us about the song where the church band is featured.
GV. I have been playing at Saddleback Church in So. CA for 5 1/2 years now. My role at the end of every service is to play an instrumental version of one of the songs from the service to walk out to. I found many of the songs I was playing to be great melodies for sax, and began discussing recording a CD featuring this music if I could get financing. As I mentioned earlier, personal issues went from bad to worse, and I began attaching emotionally to many of these songs. When I was blessed with the chance to do this project, the song list had been in my head for some time. The opening track, People All Over The World, features clips off the original performance. I met with Rob to go over song selection and concept for this CD, and he really liked the energy of the Saddleback Church Gospel Choir on the original recording. Rob began sampling the choir and I said I need to make a call to see if this was going to be OK. I called my friend Rick Muchow and told him what we where working on and he said to go for it. This track represents many hours of computer work by Rob to line up Vocals, Brass parts, and the Church Rhythm Section to our recorded tracks to make the composite you hear on the CD.
LH. What is your favorite song on the new CD?
GV. This question is just not fair. I think this project as a whole, is my favorite. With Rob's help each song grew into something more than it had been. Each song is a favorite for a different reason, and as a whole, it is the best recording I have to date.
LH. What can the audience look forward to at the upcoming party?
GV. The party will feature many of the songs off the new CD. We will play much of the Rob Mullins Band favorites, and Jazz Covers we regularly play. We feature Europa almost weekly, and that will be a big hit to be sure. The party will mark the commercial release of the CD, and will be the first opportunity for many to buy this disc. And as always, this release party will be the social event of spring. Friends, Family and Fans from all over the state will be their celebrating, listening to great music, and enjoying a night that is sure to be talked about for some time. I hope you make plans to be with us June 23rd. Show times will be at 8:30 PM, 10:00 PM, and 11:30 PM. See you there!

For decades, Wall Street has been trying to get their hands on money to use in the Stock Market from Social Security Income. Baby Boomers funded both their own retirement and the generation before them. Where has the money gone? Why no mention by Congress that this has ever occurred? Is leaning on people receiving Social Security Disability a means to an end? Most are poor and this is only source of income.
Why? Because Congress has allowed Employers to skip out upon their responsibility of paying agreed benefits and leaving Employees with a lot less support allowing corporations to keep money that was supposed to be for policyholders.
Is Social Security now siding with Wall Street and throwing Main Street under the bus? Are they afraid of being hurt by budget cuts as has been done by Congress against many government agencies? What are these actions doing to the people currently receiving Social Security Disability Income? Is Social Security Disability surveillance part of the game to reduce the roles of qualified individuals in order to fatten up the Stock Market for Wall Street by using this funding?
The treatment and resources today recipients of social security disability receive today is quite different than in past years. There are many services no longer offered or reduced. Many disabled under this program currently don't received enough support in order to get by and therefore do without.
Today we hear a lot about how the Stock Market has rebounded from the recession, but has it? If so, where is all the money Baby Boomers placed into social security during their most viable working years? Did this funding also rebound after the recession? Or was this money gifted to other agencies in government or loaned out to Wall Street?
One way analyze what is happening to Social Security Disability Recipients is to begin to watch the behavior and decision-making of Congress regarding this
program and those agencies, corporations, or lobbyist working with them.
Notice who is missing in the above equation? You! Yes You. The Disabled who will have to work within the constraints set by Congress through discussions with those there at the table to protect their interest not yours.
There are many Insurance Industry Watch Organizations protecting their sixes. When was the last time you heard about a major insurance company loosing a case against a policyholder and paying out the claim? Usually they will attempt to appeal the decision until the insurer is deceased or so close is hard to say which is which. So what has the Congress thought about lately regarding Social Security Disability?
Summary: H.R.3482 — 114th Congress (2015-2016), Introduced in House (09/10/2015), Disability Insurance Protection and Fraud Prevention Act of 2015
1) "Requires the Inspector General of the Social Security Administration to increase the number of cooperative disability investigative units to 54 and distribute them equally among the most densely populated areas."
Densely populated areas? Are they talking about inner city? Are they referring to People of Color? Or Poor People? Does this sound like targeting a certain population? No need for these disability investigative units out in the suburbs or Wall Street? Using new code words to communicate?
Social Security Disability Reviews for people age 50 or above on disability were previously not targeted for this type of harassment. Now it's 58 years of age. Is 58 the new 50? Or is this a new technique to lower the roles of people on disability? My, my, my. Who are these people working for average citizens or Wall Street?
2) "Amends titles II (Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance) (OASDI) andXVI (Supplemental Security Income) (SSI) of the Social Security Act to eliminate consideration of the combined effect of impairments in disability determinations."
Disability Determinations are done extensively while most injured
wait three years to be approved or denied Disability Income. Typically
Social Security Disability Reviews for determination are performed every three years, unless corporations ask them to speed things up in hopes of employers being able to deny claims. So why place more pressure on a system that already has major delays in their initial determination process? What really is the purpose of this Act of 2015?
Here is your answer:
3) "Makes appropriations for continuing disability reviews for FY2016-FY2020. Directs the Commissioner to assess for Congress after FY2018 the amount of savings attained as a result of such appropriations in the federal disability program under the OASDI and the SSI programs."
The purpose is to save money. But will this save as much money as it spends? And who are the beneficiaries of this review of the disabled? Lord knows, most disabled have enough worries to address. Are they looking in the wrong place for more money? Perhaps Congress should go back and review appropriations of use of Social Security Funding? Perhaps start with Wall Street or Government Loans? Deals made with Lobbyist? Why start with the least of us to harass and intimidate? Those will no resources to defend themselves from such attacks? Does even our Congress only pick on the meek, disabled, and poor? I thought it was Congress' job to protect and serve all citizens? But do they?
So what is their mission?
4) "Requires the Commissioner to describe for Congress the designs of: a disability demonstration program, a state demonstration program to revise specified existing funding streams, for specific populations to improve outcomes and reduce participation in SSI, or Social Security disability insurance, and a demonstration program that encourages employers to reduce the incidence of disability among their employees by 20% through a voluntary program that provides the employers with a tax credit if their employees do not file for Social Security disability insurance."
Ok let's break this down.
A) A Disability Demonstration Program on Federal Level. Frankly, this sounds like developing a plan to cut the roles of Social Security Disability Income under both those receiving benefits through participation in the insurance plan. This is what social security disability Income is, and their program for those who don't qualify under this insurer program, but are eligible because of lack of income.
B) A Disability Demonstration Program on State Level. Revise funding streams sound to me like cutting back on by targeting specific population groups. My question would be to improve outcomes for whom? For their bottom line? Because if they seriously want to reduce the roles of SSI and SSDI, they will need to put more resources out in order for those to get people in better health. Since Congresses goal is to reduce the roles of social security disability of inner city poor people, I personally would recommend giving them the support they need in order to move on. I have not meet any disabled people who prefer pain, suffering, and being broke. Everyone wants to paddle their own canoe. Who would want to be on a system which is set up to keep people broken? In my opinion, many people who or injured or disabled try to find their way back to their original life. The disabled way of life is too hard for most people.
C) If you were confused at all about Social Security working with Wall Street. You've found your answer here: Asking Corporations to reduce their employee's incidence of disability? Really? How? Do they think people just decide to become disabled? That one day they decide for disaster to destroy their life? I don't think so. So Congress says to Wall Street, hey! If you keep down our cost, we will give you tax credits, so you can keep more of these same employee's premiums without having to pay them out benefits either? Really? So employer you reduce the number of disabled by 20% ok? And this will be our little secret because policyholders don't read legislation and your Employee Benefit Plan Summary won't mention this. Wow. Are you still wondering how policyholders are getting screwed? Who is really looking out for your interest? How can we put an end to this? By standing up today and demanding Congress to enact Insured Civil Rights Legislation. Otherwise we will continued to be played, and suffer the consequences from Social Security, Congress, Insurance Companies and their Lobbyist, actions upon their behalf, not ours.
Call Congress at (202) 224-3121 and let them know what you think about H.R.3482 — 114th Congress (2015-2016), Disability Insurance Protection and Fraud Prevention Act of 2015. Ask them to support insured civil rights legislation in 2016.
Stay safe, well, and determined. – ESTRA Seattle

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Central Bank sees a muted impact from Brexit on the euro zone's economy and financial markets, with the clearing of financial contracts the biggest area of concern, the ECB's President Mario Draghi said on Monday.
"By and large, our estimates show that, on the real side of the negotiation, the impact should be, in the aggregate, quite muted," Draghi told the European Parliament.
"On the financial side, the impact we expect should not be significant, with one exception: in some areas of central clearing of derivatives, where if there is a sudden event, (an) unprepared hard Brexit of the sharpest kind, we have to see how the many contractual positions are going to be regulated after that."

Just off the Hotel Bel Air's famed Swan Lake, Vanity Fair and Richard Mille toasted director Martin Scorsese Friday night in anticipation of the 84th Academy Awards, where the filmmaker is up for best director—and where his whimsical 3-D feature Hugo has 11 total nominations, the most of any film in 2012. But the party was about Scorsese's entire, remarkable career, not just his success this year, and a crush of his friends, admirers, and actors from his films past turned out to fête him. As hosts Graydon and Anna Carter greeted guests, Scorsese held court for attendees like Fran Lebowitz, this year's Oscar nominees Demián Bichir and Jessica Chastain, Sir Ben Kingsley, Rick Rubin (wearing the full Rick Rubin beard), Oscar-winning composer Howard Shore, and Hollywood dynasty descendant Danny Huston. Ray Liotta, Lorraine Bracco and Kevin Corrigan engaged in a bar-side Goodfellas reunion, and Bill Courtney, the coach and star in Oscar-nominated documentary, Undefeated, charmed us by revealing that he isn't that impressed by the week's Oscars festivities, considering he has to "get back to a lumber company."
Of all the Martin Scorsese memories (and lumber-company anecdotes) recalled over the course of the evening, this one, relayed to your Hollywood blogger by Corrigan–who acted for the director in Goodfellas and The Departed–perfectly encapsulates the director's fastidiousness, impeccable sense of timing, and ability to capture an audience:
"On the set ofThe Departed, Leonardo DiCaprio and I were talking about how I had grown up in the Bronx. Leonardo's grandmother moved from Germany to the South Bronx during the war, and raised her daughter there. He said that his grandmother, Leslie, had driven him around in the South Bronx, pointing out where she used to live. I asked if he knew which street, because maybe our parents knew each other. I mentioned Brook Avenue, it turns out his grandmother lived there, too. We were going on and on, talking about the neighborhood, but there was one church in the neighborhood that we couldn't remember the name of. It was a famous church. Was it St. Luke's? We went back and forth for awhile and then suddenly, we hear, [in a fast-talking Scorsese voice], 'It was St. Ann's! All of the relics are buried underneath there! That's why it's famous! Gouverneur Morris is buried underneath there, too!"
We forget that we were mic'd—Marty had been following the entire conversation on his headphones from the video village, where they have all the monitors on a movie set. [He] realized that we were stumped, so he stopped what he was doing, and walked across this big hallway all the way over to us. He held court with me and Leonardo for about 20 minutes, telling us about this church's history, all with his script sticking out of his pants. That's how it is with Marty when you talk about music, too. He'll go on and on like that. Finally, the first A.D. came over and told him that we were ready to shoot the scene. And he left, saying, 'Okay, well we'll continue this conversation later.'"
"Sorry, that was really long," Corrigan laughed to us after finishing his yarn. "It's hard to tell a Marty story without starting to sound like him a little bit yourself."
