'Downton Abbey' Recap: Lady Mary & Lord Gillingham's Relationship Heats Up
The fire may be out, but relationships at 'Downton' are still burning. Lady Mary and Lord Gillingham go on vacation while Lord Grantham picks a fight with everyone in the house! Click to read the full recap!
Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) is definitely looking for love — or lust! On the Jan. 11, episode of Downton Abbey, Charles Blake (Julian Ovenden) visits Mary just as she is about to take the next step with Lord Gillingham (Anthony Foyle) while Lady Edith (Laura Carmichael) makes her intentions to stay in Marigold's life known — to the delight of Mrs. Drews.
'Downton Abbey' — Lady Mary & Lord Gillingham's Relationship Continues
James aka Jimmy leaves Downton after the fire, but not before singing Thomas Barrow's (Rob James-Collier) praises and calling him a "friend" — something our Mr. Barrow has probably never heard before!
Mr. Molesley (Kevin Doyle) can never catch a break. Although he has recovered from his disastrous makeover — where he darkened his hair and wasn't allowed back upstairs until it was gone — seems to be the only one who is happy about Jimmy leaving. When he asks Mr. Carson (Jim Carter) if he is now "first footman" our beloved Carson gives a bit of classic sass and says that he is because he is, "the only footman."
While the fire has been extinguished and Lady Edith's room is being repaired, the flames between Lady Mary and Lady Edith are going just as strong as ever. While Lady Edith apologizes and says that she feels like an "idiot," Mary is quick to snap back saying, "that's because you behave like an idiot" — ouch!
Lady Edith Makes Her Intentions With Magnolia Known
Lady Edith continues to visit Mr. Drews and his wife, who she gave her daughter Marigold to — much to the dislike of the adopted mother who still believes that Lady Edith is hot for her husband — awkward! This time Mr. Drews suggests that Lady Edith should "take an interest in the child" and even be her godmother.
Lady Mary told a little white lie to her parents about her getaway with Lord Gillingham saying that she was going away with her friend, Lady Portsmith. When packing, Anna (Joanne Froggatt) tells her that they will need to pack things that Mary can handle taking on and off by herself before she cheekily says, "Well I'll have his help."
To shock Anna even further, Lady Mary tells her that she needs to make sure there are "no consequences" — referring to becoming pregnant — and asks Anna to please buy her protection.
Mr. Molesley Learns About Ms. Baxter's Troubled Past
Although Ms. Baxter has revealed her troubled past to Cora (Elizabeth McGovern) and admitted that she stole her former Mistresses jewels, it has not stopped Thomas from bad mouthing her in front of the others, especially Mr. Molesley, who seems to have taken a liking to her.
Lord Gillingham still has to deal with another competitor before he is able to win over Lady Mary. Charles Blake wrote and of course Cora invited him to stay at Downton, even though Mary claimed at lunch that she was indifferent if he stayed or not, we aren't buying it!
It's no secret that Lord Grantham (Hugh Bonneville) is always stuck in his ways, but if anyone can wear him down we are sure that it is the combined powers of Rose (Lily James) and Cora who desperately would like him to purchase a wireless for Downton.
When Charles and his friend Simon arrive at Downton, he has a very chilly interaction with Mary where he tells her that she could have at least told him that he, "wasn't the lucky winner." After Mary apologizes to him, Charles admits that the real reason he came to Downton was to wish her luck in person.
Awkward flirt alert! Charles' friend Simon was there to see a painting at the house, but he seemed to be way more interested in Cora — he couldn't take his eyes off of her. Lord Grantham didn't seem to notice however and came into the room that they were in to find his #1 fan, his dog Isis.
Lady Mary — Still Torn Between Charles Blake & Lord Gillingham
Before retiring for the night, Charles got the chance to speak with Mary again. This time he told her to be positive about her decision before making up her mind because he feels that she is more clever than Tony. While Mary defends Tony, there is definitely still a spark between her and Charles.
Robert definitely is having a moment. Not only is he afraid that Tom is planning to move away from the family and take away their eldest grandchild, but he tells Cora to tell Simon to stop "flirting" with Isis!
Rose and Cora got their way and a wireless was purchased for the house. However, it was not Rose's nagging that finally got Robert to cave, she told him that the King would be speaking and that got him to give in.
Lady Mary finally got away and joined Tony for their "sketching trip" where they have adjoining rooms. Tony told her the plan was to grab a bite to eat and then "make love all night." The two then embarrassed in a passionate kiss — looks like Mary has made up her mind after all.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Who do you think Lady Mary should end up with? Should Lady Edith have made her interest in Marigold so obvious? Let us know your thoughts below!

As The National Cyber Security Centre says, "Cyber Essentials is a simple but effective, Government-backed scheme that will help you to protect your organisation, whatever its size, against a whole range of the most common cyber attacks.

Cyber attacks come in many shapes and sizes, but the vast majority are very basic in nature, carried out by relatively unskilled individuals. They're the digital equivalent of a thief trying your front door to see if it's unlocked. Our advice is designed to prevent these attacks.
As a result of our extensive investment, I am pleased to announce that Essendon Accounts & Tax Limited has obtained its Cyber Essentials Certificate.
If an individual wishes to attack an accountancy practice, they will find it difficult to break into our servers and will no doubt go for a softer option. I trust this helps reassure clients that we take data protection seriously and care about their data.
As part of our commitment to data protection, we would like to send personal data by encrypted emails to prevent any leakage and will work with individual clients to ensure this happens.
Nearly all of us have heard of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) coming into force on 25 May 2018, and this affects us and every other business in the EU. The business environment is changing and as a business godparent, I am here to point you in the right direction.

Following shelter-in-place directives and quarantine measures, we made the tough, but safest decision not to accept any ecological interns or spiritual residents this Spring/Summer.
We look forward to welcoming volunteers as soon as the COVID-19 situation permits.
Many families or individuals come for one-time, half or full-day volunteer activities,
while some people choose to stay with us for longer for Harvesting Retreats or
as Farm Interns with WWOOF-USA or WorkAway.
We invite you to contact us directly about any questions you have about volunteer opportunities.
We are a host with WWOOF-USA®. Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms, USA (WWOOF-USA®) is part of a worldwide effort to link visitors with organic farmers, promote an educational exchange, and build a global community conscious of ecological farming practices.
Are you a WWOOFer? Connect with us!
We are also a host site with WorkAway. Their mission is "Building a sharing community of global travellers who genuinely want to see the world whilst contributing to the places they visit." We have many folks who find us through this program who are looking for volunteer opportunities connected to agriculture, and beyond.
Our volunteers help with a variety of ecological projects. This includes clearing hiking trails through the protected "Forever Wild" forest land. Planting, weeding, watering little Redwood seedlings for the new Redwood grove being established. Repairing fences and making fire breaks around the native grassland pastures while removing invasive weeds. Protecting and beautifying the perimeters of the property by mowing and weed whacking along public roads. Maintaining areas for birds and wildlife.
During certain season there are opportunities to plan half-day visits to Starcross to volunteer in our garden or orchards! Bring your friends, family, schedule a work-retreat, or a plan a personal, peaceful getaway from the city! Starcross is located just 7 miles up from the coastal towns of Sea Ranch & Gualala, and just over an hour from the wine country region in Healdsburg.
The secluded rural region of northwest Sonoma county that we call home is beautiful, but it is also woefully lacking social programs for those in need. The pantry runs every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month from 2-4 pm; local folks and farm volunteers organize and facilitate the Food Pantry.
*Read more about updates to our pantry pick-up here due to COVID-19.
For many of our neighbors, English is not their first language. Several of our employees and volunteers had experience in teaching English, so we began offering free classes once a week. We provide textbooks, English/Spanish dictionaries, notebooks, and other necessary materials. Our first "semester" of classes was very successful and we look forward to offering more classes in the future.
Volunteer opportunities and projects are all scheduled in advance, and based on our current need. Please be sure to send us a message ahead of time about your interest in one-time or long-term volunteer experiences at Starcross.

Kakao revealed that Kakao Investment and Kakao Brain co-invested in a Robot Module Platform company LUXROBO.
LUXROBO manufactures modular robotics platforms that contain micro operating systems. Its recent development 'MODI' allows its users to easily program and create products by providing an intuitive graphics-based software that has access to LED, speakers, infrared ray, microphones, motors, and gravitational sensors. Thanks to its high degree of completion and simple instructions, 'MODI' is used in programming educations in the global market such as in the United Kingdom and Dubai. The company plans on reaching out to 30 global markets by the end of 2017.
Kakao Investments and Kakao Brain recognized this high value of LUXROBO's global competitiveness and technical skills and thus co-invested 3.6 Million USD (4 Billion KRW). Kakao expects to create synergy in the fields of artificial intelligence, hardware, robotics and Internet of Things (IoT).
Sanghoon Oh from LUXROBO stated, "Our company will go beyond its current role as a manufacturer of educational programming modular robots and develop personalized Do-It-Yourself Internet of Things (DIY IoT) products." He added, "this cooperation with Kakao will expedite the progress in the fields of modular robotics and Internet of Things."
Jihwan Park from Kakao Investment stated, "LUXROBO has a self-developed micro operation system that can be utilized in so many different ways. Its modular robotics platform has a very high degree of completeness and has been proven to be very useful. We will cooperate in various fields and maximize LUXROBO's competitiveness."
Kakao has been consistently investing in artificial intelligence and robotics firms through its subsidiary companies. Its affiliated investment company K-Cube Ventures has invested in a medical imaging diagnosis service provider Lunit, an artificial intelligence based systems biology company Standigm, and Uvify, a drone company that utilizes artificial intelligence based computer vision. Kakao plans to expand its investments to more companies home and abroad with high potentiality.

Bad breath can be one of the most embarrassing oral health problems. It can cause people to steer clear of starting conversations with you and impact your approachability in professional environments. Recent research has found that yogurt can help you. Read on to learn how consuming certain probiotics can help fight odor-causing bacteria. If your problems still persist, be sure to visit your dentist in Tysons though.
What's Causing Your Bad Breath?
Bad breath, also known as halitosis, is a common oral health problem. It can be caused by a variety of problems, some serious, others not at all. Here are just a few common possible causes of your bad breath:
- Poor Oral Hygiene. When you don't clean your mouth regularly, bacteria accumulate and release sulfide that causes a bad odor.
- Eating or Drinking Certain Items. You may notice that your breath smells after eating onions, garlic, and other vegetables and spices. These enter your bloodstream and are carried through your breath.
- Digestive Issues. If you find that you're regularly constipated or have IBS, you could have digestion problems that can cause bad breath.
The main issue that you have to look out for if you're concerned about bad breath is having a dry mouth. This can turn it into a bacterial breeding ground, which can lead to gum disease and chronic halitosis. If the problem persists, you won't want to wait to visit your dentist in case there's a more serious underlying problem.
How Can Yogurt Fight Odor-Causing Bacteria?
A study conducted by microbiologists in Japan funded by a yogurt maker found that eating two three-ounce servings of plain, sugarless yogurt every day can neutralize odor-causing bacteria on your tongue. When these bacteria aren't regularly cleaned from your mouth, they can emit sulfide waste that causes an unpleasant odor.
The study found that participants who ate yogurt experienced an 80 percent decrease in hydrogen sulfide, the compound that causes bad breath, after six months of eating yogurt. Along with routine oral hygiene, you can tackle odor-causing harmful oral bacteria and reduce your risk of oral health problems like cavities and gum disease.
When Should You Visit Your Dentist?
Although yogurt can help curb the bacteria that are causing you to have bad breath, you should visit your dental office every six months for professional cleanings and checkups. This way, your family dentist in Tysons can make sure that any oral health problems you may have are treated before they cause you more trouble down the road. Halitosis is also a common symptom of gum disease, so it's best to not wait to get your mouth checked out if you feel your problem is more serious than eating onions of having digestive issues.
Who would've thought that by eating yogurt you could help cure your embarrassing oral health problem? Bad breath can make you less approachable and keep you from socializing as much as you'd like to. When you visit your dentist every six months and eat plain yogurt daily, you can keep your breath fresh and your mouth healthy!

ANAPANASATI MEDITATION alone gives spiritual health to a person.
SPIRITUAL-HEALTH is the root and PHYSICAL-HEALTH is the fruit.
MEDITATION is the greatest gift gis to our own lives. We can give so much to ourselves.
- Diseases are healed totally ....
- Memory-power becomes increased ..
- Wasteful habits die a natural death ..
- Mind stays in a peaceful and joyful state ..
- Work gets done with greater efficiency ..
- Sleep-time requirements get reduced ..
- Relationships become more qualitative ..
- Will-power gets tremendously increased ..
- Ability to discern right / wrong gets sharpened ..
- Purpose of life is thoroughly understood " Diseases are healed "
All physical afflictions are because of mental worries. All mental worries are because of intellectual immaturity. Intellectual immaturity is because of lack of spiritual energy and lack of spiritual wisdom.
Through meditation, when we get abundant cosmic energy and spiritual wisdom, the intellect becomes mature. By and by, all mental worries cease. Consequently, all physical afflictions disappear. Meditation is the only way to heal all diseases.
Diseases manifest primarily because of previous negative karma. Until and unless the negative karma is neutralized, the disease will not entirely vanish; no medicine will be of any help to clear the negative karma.
" Memory-power is enhanced "
The abundant cosmic energy gained in meditation helps the brain to work more efficiently and to its maximum capacity. Meditation enhances memory-power tremendously.
Therefore, meditation is absolutely necessary for all students .. both at the school level and at the university level.
" Wasteful habits die naturally "
There are several wasteful habits like over- eating, over-sleeping, over-talking, over-thinking, over-drinking etc., etc.
With the abundant spiritual wisdom and cosmic energy obtained from meditation, all the wasteful habits die naturally.
" Mind becomes more joyful "
Life is so full of failures, insults and pains .. for any person. However, for a person with higher spiritual wisdom and abundant cosmic energy, life is always peaceful and joyful.. in spite of all the failures, insults and pains.
In the presence of abundant cosmic energy and higher spiritual wisdom, all work, be it physical or mental, gets done with greater efficiency.
In less time, more work is achieved. With least resources, commendable work gets done.
" Sleep-time gets reduced "
Abundant cosmic energy is obtained in meditation. Only a fraction of that energy is obtained during sleep.
Half-an-hour of deep meditation is equivalent to six hours of deep sleep .. in terms of rest for the body and energy for the mind.
" More qualitative relationships "
Lack of higher spiritual wisdom is the only reason why inter-personal relationships are so very unqualitative and unfulfilling.
In the presence of higher spiritual wisdom, all inter-personal relationships become highly qualitative and totally fulfilling.
" Increased will-power "
Intents need sufficient energy and sufficient power to reach their respective targets. In a restless state of mind, intents are made with least power. Therefore, they don't reach their respective targets.
However, in the presence of a restful state of mind, all positive intents acquire greater strength and all intents get dramatically actualized. In simple terms, we say that, the will- power gets boosted significantly.
" Knowledge of right and wrong "
" What to do? "
" What not to do ? "
These are always million-dollar questions ..
" What is right? "
" What is wrong? "
We are in a perpetual dilemma ..
However, such dilemmas are only for the spiritually immature persons. For a spiritually mature person there are no " million dollar " questions whatsoever. Everything is readily understood and readily acted upon.
" Understanding purpose of life "
We are all born with a specific purpose, with a specific mission, with a specific design, with a specific plan. Only the spiritually mature people can understand and be aware of their particular purpose, mission, design and plan in their lives.
The purpose of incarnation of any Soul is to progress further at the spirit / soul level, not leaving out enjoying the material plane.

'The Crown' featured on Comeherefloyd
Fame. Fortune. Glory. All humans have these desires. Just that some have it in trace amounts. And some have more than they can spare. Like any 'desire', we are left with decisions that always come with some kind of consequences. COST is the ultimate addition to life's 'education'. Some learn. Some don't. It's how we all live and have built civilizations. Now, is it your turn? Is it ours? Can it come true? And how will you conduct your journey, to that ultimate prize? It's your fruit to taste.

Do you love the taste but find the idea of cooking artichokes intimidating? Me too! Artichokes are beautiful and filled with flavor, creating a culinary experience that is second to almost none. But when cooking artichokes goes wrong, it goes terribly wrong, and makes so many of us afraid to even try.
Here, I'm making an artichoke recipe that is perfect for summer nights. Enjoy these grilled artichokes served with a refreshing side of lemon yogurt aioli.

Father's Day is just around the corner, and as society is becoming more gender balanced, would you consider giving flowers to your dad? I did (once), and my dad, who is normally expressionless, was overly delighted. He said it made him feel special and happy because never in his lifetime had anyone sent him flowers. With more than 7 decades of living, for him to receive flowers for "the first time" made the occasion not just extraordinary, but unforgettable.
I think most men, perhaps secretly, take pleasure and delight in experiencing these fragrant and radiant jewels from nature. Any why not give a gift that is biodegradable, since most of us have enough stuff already, and dad likely has one too many neckties.
A Better Florist
In my search for a florist, I found one that offers free and reliable delivery (islandwide), great service, and competitive prices (no GST) – A Better Florist. Their free delivery can be done within the same day, and as quickly as in 90 minutes.
Online ordering is easy – it only takes a couple of clicks to order your favourite blooms and have them delivered anywhere islandwide. They deliver their blooms every day, including holidays such as Valentine's Day and Mother's Day.
When it comes to quality, their flowers are delivered fresh from a sustainable farm in Cameron Highlands. Only the blooms that meet a certain quality standard are picked. This means that you get the freshest blooms and these tend to last much longer than flowers from other sources. It also means that what you see on their website is what you get; they are Instagram-ready!
Their bouquets are hard crafted and stunningly designed. In terms of cost, a bouquet of a dozen roses from A Better Florist is $81, while a similar bouquet from other online flower shops (with delivery) cost from $88 to $123.80 (includes GST).
If you don't see what you want on their website, you can also contact their team if you require custom arrangements or other services, such as business gifts, or flowers for special events, functions, or meetings. Their team has worked with numerous hotels, restaurants, offices, spas, shops and event venues.
Flowers have always been seen as a noble gesture, whether it's to express your love and care, or just to cheer up someone who is going through a tough time. And with Father's Day coming up, why not consider giving the joyful surprise of flowers?
COUPON CODE: For first-time users, A Better Florist is offering $5 off with coupon code "ABETTERWELCOME"

This sermon was an adaptation of one my dad preached a couple years ago. It fit with the theme we're on lately--"Prayer Life of a Christian." Thanks for the help, dad.
My grand-father was a self-educated Pentecostal preacher on the weekends and a skilled carpenter throughout the week. Consequently, my father has told me that my grandfather's nighttimes were often devoted to bible study and sermon preparation, as well as prayer. As a young boy, my father's bedroom was the converted utility room right off the kitchen, and he often overheard his father's prayers. Though my grandfather died almost twenty-five years ago, my father still cherishes the memory of those overheard prayers, because many of those prayers were for him!
You can tell a lot about people by listening to how they pray. Praying is absolutely vital to the church. Prayers are vital for the spiritual well-being of the Christian. This is one reason we are creating a prayer chapel off the sanctuary in this room to the right. It will be a visible and practical encouragement to this faith community to make prayer a discipline. We read in the letter of James that "the prayer of a righteous person availeth much." (James 5:16)
But perhaps, as we see in the parable, we do not intuit what righteousness truly is! Prayer gets to the heart of the relationship between God and us. Is prayer knowing all the right words to say? Sometimes, not knowing the right words to say communicates more effectively the depth of the experience of a relationship than being an articulate word-smith.
Sometimes, if we cannot find the words, we may turn to the beautiful resources in our hymnal and book of worship and resonate with the spirit led words of others. Other times, if we turn simply to what writer Anne Lamott calls the only two prayers: "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you," and "Help me, Help me, Help me!" God will respond to us, indeed!
Jesus also believed in the vitality of prayer, but he also sought to expose the futility of trusting in your self alone. He did so by telling the parable you heard this morning.
Let's review something very important about parables. By their very nature, parables draw the listener into the story, and, before you know it, we (the listeners) are involved like one of the characters actually in the story! In a parable, one states a truth but disguises it so that the meaning is not quickly and immediately obvious. Its meaning is to be deduced, and when you finally do get the "point," you might even have a great "ah-haa" experience.
In telling a parable, you change the scene to throw the listener off a bit until you can insert your needle without the listener knowing it has been inserted. John Killenger has called such practice, "literary Novocain." If you tried to get in your point without the "parable-Novocain" your "patient" would run a way and your point is then rendered useless. Likewise, if you brought up your subject directly, it could easily fall flat.
The parable Jesus tells about he Pharisee and the tax collector who prayed is a perfect example. The problem is, in the many years that have passed since Jesus first told this parable to his first listeners, the two characters in the story have virtually changed places, and we're in danger of losing the "ah-haa" that I believe Jesus intended.
In our day, it's easy to not despise the tax collector and instead, despise the Pharisee! Fred Craddock has rightly said, "Popular caricatures present the Pharisee as a hollow hypocrite and the tax collector or publican as generous Joe, the Bartender or Goldie, the hooker, both whom we might admire for the rejection of religion!" (Interpretation, Fred Craddock: John Knox Press-1990, pg.211).
But, you can be certain that this is not the way Jesus' original hearers first reacted. To them, the Pharisee was a true pillar of society, the kind of material respectable communities desire. In fact, if the Nominations Committee of First Church, Palestine was meeting to gather names for submitting to the Charge Conference for election to the Church Board, you can rest assured this Pharisee's name would be at the top of the list! If the Evangelism Committee was seeking to respond with hospitality to newcomers who had visited the church, you'd be safe to assume this Pharisee would be one of the most sought after.
Why? Not only does he fast once a week, as some Jews did, he fasts twice a week! He was zealous, not merely to keep the law, but to go beyond it. He's not an extortionist; he's not a swindler or an adulterer. And when it comes to the temple budget, not only did he tithe 10%, he went even further and tithed on all he bought! Ordinarily, in buying corn, new wine, and oil, he could have assumed that a tithe had already been paid by the one who had produced it. But this Pharisee took no chances, so he paid a tithe on these purchase as well! You could call him a religious neurotic, if you wanted to, but he meant well. In any case, those who first heard this parable would easily recognize this man to be unusually diligent and upright.
Likewise, in our modern attempts to romanticize the tax collector/publican, we often forget just how revolting and mean his lifestyle really was! Publicans not only cooperated with a foreign occupying power, Rome, but padded their living by defrauding others as well. True repentance of such reprehensible activity required that they quit their job as tax collectors and restore all that they had illegally taken, plus 20%. Since it was unlikely that they could even name, let alone repay all those whom they had defrauded, they were treated by others as robbers—and essentially, they were! They were hated, so it's no wonder he's found praying in the shadows of the temple, certainly not in full view of everyone. It's a wonder the Pharisee even sees him!
Now I'm not one who would say you should keep your eyes closed during prayer, as we discussed last week, but it would be helpful to keep your focus on God and your praying, not looking around the temple to see who's there------.
I think I recognize what the Pharisee does in his prayer.
"I may have failed you Lord, but, compared to _____, I'm
not half-bad!"
I recognize that kind of praying, because I've done it!
Have you noticed, though, that most of the times when we pray like that, we're making the wrong comparisons? Rarely do we compare ourselves with our moral superiors. Instead, we compare ourselves with scoundrels and pridefully say, "Hey God, comparatively speaking, I'm not so bad…" Employing that same tactic in woodworking or sewing can have disastrous results. Constantly cutting new pieces from a faulty pattern might be quicker than measuring each time, but the end product might be grossly distorted.
Yes, it seems the final offense of the Pharisee's prayer is his sidelong glances toward the publican/tax collector in the shadows, instead of his focus on God. Without denying all of those things he did, fasting, tithing, upstanding behavior… all very good, he was NOT looking in the direction of God. Smugly seeing how much better he fared (he thought) in the conduct of life than the poor sinner standing in the shadows.
The hated and despised tax collector had nothing to gain in prayer by comparing himself to others or contemplating how others felt about him. He knew already! All he could do was throw himself on the mercy of God, who is the God of saints and sinners alike.
Would that the poor Pharisee knew the song, "It's not my brother, nor my sister, but it's me oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer!" For you see, the prayer of a truly righteous person has nothing to do with a religious "pedigree" or our church work experience—time spent teaching Sunday School, or even how much or how little we give to the church. The prayer of a truly righteous person has everything to do with whom we gaze upon in prayer—so we should ask ourselves. Is prayer to contemplate God or is it to announce to God who we are? The prayer which justifies the person is the prayer which seeks God and leaves self behind. And thus, we arrive at this parable's "bottom line." The Pharisee trusts in self and all his accomplishments. The Publican trusts in God alone. That is the difference.
You see, the world can still make judgments as to who in human eyes is justified. God, however, makes another. Some truly righteous people are not the world's so-called perfect people. And therein lies Jesus' agenda, so remarkably told by Luke in his radical "upside-down" way.
Even though many times Jesus seems to exalt those whom the "respectable" deem to be morally inferior, Jesus, in so doing, is after something deeper than "respectability"…something far more crucial than observing religious rituals. Instead, he's intent on doing business in each human heart, where there are no secrets, not pretenses. So yes, each of us can say, "it's me, it's me oh lord, standing in the need of prayer.

Count on to spend a couple of thousand dollars at these auctions, but the vehicles are in near mint condition and later models. Its so simple as giving some brief information and show of ID. The one one who can bid and purchase the automotive is the identify of the registered bidder. This residue is one hundred% refundable in money if you do not purchase any vehicles. That is completed at some auctions so bidders don't bid on vehicles after which determine they don't find more information need them.

Calling for a tricky stand towards Tokyo, they accused rightists in Japan of shifting the country dangerously towards a revival of its World Conflict Two militarism.

You browse their website, find a car you want, and determine you want to buy it. From there, you go to wherever the car is (or wherever it has been shipped to) and you check drive it. All the transactions – whether or not you might be shopping for or selling – are in all probability going to happen on that car lot. It is also pretty centered on shopping for cars on eBay, but at the very least, reading both articles will actually help drive (pun supposed) these points house. A current research exhibits automobile patrons around the world, together with in the U.S., are altering how they buy new cars and trucks.

Some companies offer free vehicles to applicants who apply for the free car program; the catch is you are driving a automobile that is plagued by commercials.

Level out several lacking components on the car, or buy several vehicles at once. Yards can run via several hundred vehicles in a month, so visit the same yard typically for the best deals. We purchase virtually something, low cost and costly, we do it. Bakkies, kombies, Double-Cabs, Sedans, Pupil-Automobiles, bangers, Recreation-Viewers, Panel-Vans, Caravans, Trailers, Bikes, we do them.

Each purchaser is provided with an AA Automobiles Historical find out this here past Test (worth up to £20) up entrance so that they can have peace of thoughts concerning the automobile's history and authenticity. That is five extra vehicles than Caltrain originally intended to purchase back in January.
As far as I can see, you have two choices: you can buy a automotive from a company within the business of promoting cars, or you should buy a car from some man who posted some pics of his car on Craigslist. If you're going to purchase a automotive from an organization like Carmax, who has fairly aggressively moved their enterprise online, or or AutoTrader, then you make a reasonably protected wager (particularly click in the event you're in the market for a new car). So far as I know, these firms purchase up used automobiles, too, fix what needs to be fastened, and sell them for a slightly marked-up value. By no means give a seller cash over the web till you've driven the automotive you're about to purchase. Yet many do, they usually might look to move as many as 20 automobiles at a time.
The Bombardier Bi-Level Generation 2 rail cars are being purchased from Southern California Regional Rail Authority. Caltrain is purchasing the cars to supply brief-term capability relief on peak-hour trains that incessantly expertise standing-room-solely circumstances. I believe CAL Practice to purchase extra cars, then explain the automobiles are to be refurbish within the article is correct. Is when the patron learn here lives in an space with no competing dealers, or the patron is attempting to buy a model new model that just got here out and there's a large demand with restricted provide. No one can assure an investment yield increased than three% or 4%, and the interest rate you will pay on a automotive loan will definitely be increased than that, so pay money in case you can.

A juxtaposition is "the act of placing things side by side, especially for the purpose of comparison or contrast" — as in these two shots.
The first photo below shows the contrast between a young man grating coconut in the traditional method which dates back hundreds of years. The traditional grater is a long metal with a scraper at the end. He is sitting on the long metal piece, with his hands holding the hard outer part of the coconut while he scrapes the hard white, inner part of the coconut. You can see the grated coconut falling in the bucket and there are still several cracked coconuts waiting to be grated.
In this next picture there are two comparisons. The first contrast is the young man with his grandmother who is in her 90's and the second contrast is that he is on his modern-day cell phone while she is grating the coconuts. There is the contrast of her white hair to his black braided hair, her sagged muscles compared to his youthfulness.
I love both photos. I love the intensity with which each one is wrapped up in their own world within such a close proximity of space. It is such an amazing contrast between the two worlds – young and old; new technology and old tradition.
What a great juxtaposition!

Mass-in-a-Flash Transformation: How to Get Explosive Growth
Q: Okay, your before and after photos at X-Rep.com are unreal. I can't believe you made those changes in only one month, and my friends say you used drugs. What's the truth? How did you do it, what kind of training did you do, and were drugs involved? Please be honest.
A: Trust us, no drugs were involved. Truth: Jonathan is a drug-free for life bodybuilder and Steve experimented with 5 milligrams of Dianabol once a day back in his early 20s—but after three weeks of dreams that his liver would explode, he stopped. BTW, he saw no visual improvement during those 3 weeks on that dosage.[Read more…]
X-Rep Lies: Before and After Photos
Q: The before and after photos at your X-Rep site are pretty unbelievable. I mean, come on, four weeks to get those changes? You must've either lied about the time it took or manipulated the photos. You should be ashamed of yourselves. There's too much of that deceptive crap on the Internet.
A: Ashamed? Actually, we're very proud. Those photos are 100 percent authentic and accurate—no photo alterations, no steroids, and they were taken about four weeks apart. (The key technique that made it happen and a step-by-step how-to is coming up.)[Read more…]
Progressive Mass
Q: I've read almost everything at your site [X-Rep.com], and I'm ready to get started. I'm 17 years old, 5'11" and 175 pounds. I've been training for two years. My question is, Which program should I start with? Should I do Jonathan's 20-pounds-of-muscle-in-10-weeks program [3D Muscle Building e-book] or go straight to your X-Rep Mass-Detail Workout [in the Ultimate Mass Workout e-book]? Your X-Rep program gave you freaky results fast, so I'm thinking I should go with that one.
A: Either would work well for you at this point. At 17, you are in your prime growing years. And you already have some experience. So if you continue to train hard and sensibly, you should build stellar progressive mass with whichever routine you choose.[Read more…]
Photos and Freakiness
Q: I saw
A: Well, that's not a question, but it's a relevant opinion—bigger is not necessarily better. In Jonathan's case, you are seeing his most-muscular pose, and when you gain more muscle, your physique can look more "crowded" in that pose. You could argue that his muscles are starting to look too big for his frame. Steve, on the other hand, is in a semi-relaxed pose in the X-Rep photo, and a twisting ab shot in his Beyond-X photo. He looks considerably bigger in the "after" photo, but it's a different pose, which makes it difficult to judge.[Read more…]
Transformation Photos: Girls vs. Guys
Q: I'm a man in my late 30s, but I'm very motivated by Becky Holman's before and after photos and her story. Is the training program she used okay for men to use?
A: Absolutely. Men and women should both strive to build muscle, and that's what her program does. Women won't get bulky muscles no matter how hard they train because they don't have the hormonal profile for that to happen. It's a testosterone thing—and as you can see in the transformation photos below, Becky (Steve's wife, who was in her early 40s below) doesn't have a lot of testosterone…[Read more…]
Anabolic Fasting + Shredded-Muscle After-Effects (pics inside)
Intermittent Fasting is all the rage right now and for good reason—it works! Even jacked movie stars like The Rock, Terry Cruz, and Hugh Jackman use it for shredded muscle.
We've used it off and on for years. Check out Steve's initial results, which were spectacular—and he's in his 50s…[Read more…]
I want to do everything I can to make the fastest muscle gains possible with X-Rep training. Do you have any suggestions on how to check my progress, other than weighing myself every week?
A: First, don't weigh yourself every week. You can make muscle gains as you lose fat, so your weight may stay the same or you may even gain weight while getting more muscular (muscle weighs more than fat, by the way). About the only way to really track progress is to take photos every four weeks or so. You should hit a variety of poses at your first session, keeping a list of the shots you took and the camera settings you used. Four to six week later, take photos again, and use the same poses and camera settings (put the camera on a tripod, if possible, at about waist height). Also—and this is important—be sure the lighting is the same. Take the pictures in a room with a fairly bright overhead light and don't use a flash, or it will wash out your muscularity.
We had a specific spot in the IRON MAN Training & Research Center where we took our photos. Below are a few of our before and after shots that were taken one month apart in the same lighting. The befores were taken at the end of May, right as we began using X-Rep training. The after shots were taken July 2, about a month later. These shots, taken under the same light, convinced us that X-Rep training works better than anything we've tried in the past!
Be sure to take your progress-monitoring shots under the same lighting conditions. We took these at the same spot in the IRON MAN Training & Research Center about one month apart during our X-Rep experiment. They proved to us that X Reps can produce drastic changes in size and muscularity fast! We've never made such amazing progress in such a short period of time in our training careers.
Which X-Rep Program to Start With
Q: I heard about X Reps from a guy at my gym. He suggested I get one of your X-Rep e-books, but after looking at your site, I realize there are a lot of them. I need help figuring out which X-Rep program to start with.
A: A lot of our newer trainees as us which X-Rep program to start with, so for a good overview of X Reps as well as key X-hybrid techniques, we recommend The X-traordinary X-Rep Workout. It was written a few years after our first X-Rep e-book, The Ultimate Mass Workout, so we've included all the critical highlights of what we learned up to that point… [Read more…]
How to Keep the Size Surging
Q: I'm insanely stoked using the Size Surge program. Phase 1 is insanely good for me, and I'm gaining like crazy. My gains have been so good that I don't want to go to phase 2 yet. Can I stick on phase 1 for another month or so, till I feel like my gains have stalled out?
A: Everyone has different genetics, so nothing is written in stone. The Size Surge program listed is what worked for Jonathan—he gained 20 pounds in 10 weeks using it as written: phase 1 for five high-intensity weeks, stuck with it for a sixth downshift week, then did the phase 2 Positions-of-Flexion program for the last four weeks.

When I first started thinking about the topic of garage plans I was afraid that I couldn't find enough material to make it worthwhile for my readers. A garage is only four walls with a few garage doors, right? No, not by a long shot. Garages are more complicated than carports, but they offer so many more features. From attached to detached, dormers, gables, living space, the list and go on and on.
The most simple of all garage plans is a one car garage. Four sides, one man door, and a garage door it about it. Then there is a two car garage. It is very similar but only for two autos instead of one. But after this the mundane is done away with!
One cute little garage is a two car design with cape cod dormers. The roof line is steeper. The garage uses attic trusses, and a permanent stair case is built on the inside. This is considered a cape cod style or a loft garage, since the upper square footage is less than the main foot print of the structure.
Another style is a garage apartment. Ever wished that you had a place to park company away from the house? I know I have! Visitors are wonderful, but it is so nice to have a separate place for them to relax, and also an option for the lady of the house (or the man) to see the company retreat to in the evenings. A garage apartment solves this problem. With a permanent staircase, a second level that is sealed off from the first, an apartment works well. In one garage plans design the structure was 40'x50′. The upper level had a great room, kitchen, bedroom, den, and full bath upstairs. A spacious gable on each side made the living space possible.
When contemplating building garage plans remember a nice garage will improve the overall value of your home more than a carport would. Planning for more room than less is wise. Having a place for cars plus whatever else finds its way to the garage keeps the vehicles from ending up parked outside. Finish costs of a garage are substantially less than for finishing the living space of a home. The option of adding an attached garage onto the home saves construction of one wall of the garage. And going with larger doors provides parking for small and large vehicles alike.

That's all there is to it. To expand the capabilities of the VAULT 2i, use it with other Bluesound players, which connect to your home network via WiFi or Ethernet for playback in any room.
Easy Setup, Impressive Performance
Unlike many other wireless audio products, the Bluesound system is incredibly easy to set up and use. And the performance is unsurpassed.
"The entire system is designed for easy setup with no computer required. Users operate it with a smartphone or tablet BlueOS app," notes Grant Clauser in an ElectronicHouse.com review of the original Bluesound system for October 18, 2013 "Music from the VAULT includes cover art to make it easy to find the album you're looking for I was able to listen to all the Bluesound components in a hotel suite in New York this week. The performance was pretty impressive on all of them."
"For those people looking for a nice, simple, convenient and good-sounding one box/one app solution for ripping CDs, playing your ripped and downloaded files, streaming music from Internet radio, Rdio, Slacker Radio, and Qobuz, and purchasing music from HighResAudio, the Bluesound VAULT has got your number and its one of one in today's marketplace," reports Michael Lavorgna in his Audiostream.com, January 21, 2013 review of the original Bluesound system. "Just add an iOS or Android device as a remote and you'll be rollin' in tunes in no time."
Bluesound Music Players
Bluesound players are designed and engineered by audiophiles. They have been tested and perfected at one of North America's most advanced sound labs by some of the same engineers and musicians who started the original hi-fi revolution in the 1970s, including PSB's Paul Barton.
Add other Bluesound components for more functionality. "The entire system is designed for easy setup with no computer required," reports Grant Clauser at ElectronicHouse.com. "Playlists can be created on the fly. Each component can be controlled individually, or grouped, so users can play different songs in each room or the same music all over the house."

You're delivering more features faster—keep up with a comprehensive set of development and testing tools for your team to collaborate and deliver at cloud speed. Quickly create consistent development and test environments on your terms through a scalable, on-demand infrastructure.
"Instead of telling people to wait for six months for a new feature, we can give it to them in a few weeks. Our lead cycles are getting much shorter, and we have business stakeholders involved so that our solutions are more aligned with business requirements."
Get more time to create better applications
Let your developers do what they do best—build great applications. Using development testing solutions, you'll significantly reduce the time and hassle of managing development efforts so your team can maintain its focus on application development.
"With Visual Studio Team Services and .NET, I save at least 30 percent of the time it would otherwise take to manage software development. That's hours every week that I can spend on building better solutions."
Build for all the platforms you use
Heterogeneous environments are the norm rather than the exception. Bring cross-platform functionality to your dev-test environment and use your preferred coding language to natively build and test your applications on the devices and platforms you use today—from Linux to Windows to iOS and Android.
"We jokingly say that if there's a product out there, it's used somewhere within Shell, although we try to standardize on platforms like Windows and Linux, as well as iOS and Android for mobile development … Most of those platforms require us to support a whole raft of technologies, so the cross-platform functionality in Visual Studio Team Services makes it a very logical choice for us."
Create dev-test environments in seconds, not weeks
Simplify and speed the process of running a dev-test environment. Provision virtual machines in seconds, instead of days or weeks. And unlike other cloud providers, you only pay by the minute. Spin up as many virtual machines as you need, network them, and allocate to your developers. Manage your environment with agility, whether you support self-provisioning by your developers, or maintain centralized control.
"As we grew, we couldn't physically get the number of servers we needed anymore. For example, in London, they were having a hard time accessing servers in the western United States. I evaluated all the options—Amazon, Google, and Microsoft—and you just can't beat Microsoft Azure."
Scalable, high-fidelity test environments
Replicate real-world usage scenarios in your test environment—and test at production scale to catch and fix problems before you release. If your production environment also runs on Azure, you can create an exact clone and gain a precise view into how your application will behave in the real world.
"We use Azure to generate the loads we need to test our applications to their limits. By finding the breaking points before we reach them in production, we can make the necessary architecture changes to handle our growth. We're also able to test loads from international locations to ensure that our customers do not experience latency issues. With Azure we have access to all of the resources we need to do the performance tests we want at a really low cost."
Minimize waste, maximize control
Get visibility and tight control on usage of computing resources. Access real-time utilization data to eliminate wastage and implement chargebacks to internal customers. Advanced automation helps reduce errors, unified management balances access and control, and enterprise-ready governance capabilities enable you to set limits and control costs.
"This policy more than pays for itself in developer productivity versus waiting for a hardware team to set up development and test environments. Plus, we have added visibility into real project costs."
Stretch your budget with low dev-test rates
Enjoy the freedom to experiment using low dev-test rates on Azure. Spin up what you need, when you need it, and explore scenarios before going into production. Reduced rates on Azure are available to Visual Studio subscribers running development and testing workloads, individually or as a team.

I've never been one to try to explain the VMI experience to family and friends. It's a futile exercise. Trying to encapsulate the myriad of events experienced during a four year cadetship at this tiny military school nestled in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley is a heavy task. However, there's one slice of my personal VMI experience that came flooding back to me today when I saw this video clip of the VMI Corps of Cadets marching at President Obama's Inauguration Parade:
As a cadet, me and 1200 of my best friends marched in the Inauguration Parade for President Bush (senior). What a day that was. Frigid, windy and just downright miserable. We waited outside in a parking lot near the Pentagon for hours trying to do everything we could not to freeze. Finally, it was the Corps of Cadets' turn to march. The parade order had the famous Budweiser Clydesdales in front of us. Normally, being close to these famous beasts would be a positive thing but on that particularly cold day, these horses were obviously very hydrated and not nice to be around - especially downwind with a stiff breeze. We knew that because of the smell of the mist of their bodily fluids that some of us unlucky cadets felt on our faces. Not pleasant. It was a long trek before we finally arrived at the reviewing stand of the new President. Although the challenging temperatures, the tiresome wait and the dodging of horse manure could've dampened my spirit, it was still an incredibly memorable day for me. I was extremely proud to be a VMI cadet that day. Like the cadets that marched a few days ago, my chest was puffed out and my head was held high as I proudly marched in honor of the President of the United States, whether I voted for him or not.
The song being played by the VMI Band in the video is called "Shenandoah." It is a memorable and haunting song for me. For four long years I listened to Band Company produce that distinctive drum beat and those brass notes that comprised "Shenandoah." For many cadets, I'm sure they grew tired of this tune. After all, we were forced to march to it a couple of times a week during parade practice and every single weekend during parades. But for me, I always loved that song. It rings of tradition, promise and love. One line goes, "Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter." Little did I know that I would marry this daughter, my own Southern Belle. The song rings of the Shenandoah Valley which VMI calls home, with autumn leaves of vibrant orange, yellow and reds, framing a blue skyline that proudly boasts, yes, God most definitely made this place.
When I saw the video today and heard "Shenandoah" for the first time in many years, I have to tell you that I began to well up. I was truly overcome. The cadets, marching sharply in their overcoats, a sea of blue-gray with hints of red - a blood red that reminds us that yes, some of these brave young men and women will unfortunately and undoubtedly spill their blood for their country in the coming years. Rifles held high and steady. The "eyes left" command so they can properly honor their new President. The infectious smile and the sincere giddiness of the First Lady with her thumbs up show of approval. And the snap of one of the first salutes from President Obama. All of these great sights on a memorable day in American history - in lock step to the song I want playing at my funeral. VMI, you made me very proud today. Well done. -- C2, VMI Class of 1991

Yeah, Bing. The Google-killer. The Decision Engine. $100 million marketing budget.
At the community college where I teach, Bing has replaced Google as the service whose search blank shows up in the upper right corner of the browser window. I am hugely UN-impressed with Bing; in spite of its heavily advertised ability to get results more focused on what the searcher is really looking for, I find it actually gets less relevant results, sometimes so totally out in left field, I can't figure out how the search engine — oh, pardon me, decision engine — came up with them.
I'll stick with Bing Crosby. Or bing cherries.
I'm pretty sure that Bing has never crossed my line of sight. I must have been on the receiving end of the wrong half of that there marketing budget, the half that was a waste of money, to misquote someone, Lord Beaverbrook …?
Take a look at ixquick, I found it when I was looking around for a workable browser I could trust, works a treat.
Just waiting for the duck to appear now before I submit….. there he goes :-)
I see Bing thrust at me a lot because I do lots of news browsing on msnbc.com and since they are all in a circle jerk, that's what you get. I was reading about the Samoan Tsunami, and wanted to look at the IRIS seismic monitor. What the heck, I typed in iris seismic in msncb's bing field and got crap. I typed same into google and got it on the first hit.
Although I am an anti-fan of microsoft I could actually give bing some fair chances because Google-first-do-no-evil has changed into Google-do-no-evil-except-when-trying-to-get-into-China-market-and-when-trying-to-monopolize-world's-book-text-searching.
I think it's time for Shatty Baby to change songs. I wanna hear him singin Love is All Around from the Mary Tyler Moore show. Since I will never be lucky enuf to agin be MOH, I have to bat my eyes at TG, and hope she likes the idea. You can even use her voice.
I'm pretty sure that there never will be a "Google killer." There will be tools that do specific things better, but how do you google better than Google?
I needed to look up an article. I knew the article's title, and I knew the article's author. I typed both into the Bing search window. The article didn't show up in the first four screens of search results. I gave up.
"Decision Engine." Yeah, right.

LIMA Awards 2019: From Christ Embassy
The gospel stars from Christ Embassy lit up Lagos and glowed through the many online channels as millions tuned in to catch a glimpse of the hottest show of the season. It was a time of great uplift and inspiration as amazing performances were witnessed as the stars were honored for their remarkable achievements.
What a night. It was the night when the stars of LMAM light up the path for all to see. There were many stand out performances from new and up and coming stars. There were gospel ministrations in the musical form from some of the more established stars. Dance groups inspired us with acrobatic l feats of glory as they interpreted the sayings of Pastor Chris. The show was touted as hotter than fire, so which were the hottest moments from LIMA 2019?
So here are the top ten moments from LIMA 2019
10. UK Band were honored with multiple awards and their unified commitment to the message of the gospel was evident in their performances. Their music and dance routines were hotter than fire.
9. In explaining the difference between worship and a praise song we had the contrasting styles of two of the most talented vocalists on the gospel music scene. We were told not to expect worship songs to be slower in tempo. With the extensive ranges of Eben and Frank Edwards on display, there were two amazing performances that were life-changing.
8. In changing the sounds Spiritual Beatz's latest starlet is so committed to getting out her feelings and experiences in Christ Embassy that she doesn't want to be limited by any musical style. Chookar's performance made her the one to watch for the future. She has great musicality and lyrics that talk about life enhancements when you are reborn into the Kingdom of God. She will be winning souls.
7. Joe Praize told Pastor Chris "I am totally committed to your message" when he won his prize for his song 'Joy Overflow'. He was totally overwhelmed in the presence of the Man of God that his tears flowed. The song is one of the most uplifting and inspiring in the canon of worship.
6. Their collaboration owned the LoveWorld Convocation Arena. CSO and Agent Snypa took their song round the whole auditorium. There contrasting styles blended in perfect harmony creating a memorable performance. The message provided was a unifying factor and their musicality was a beautiful partnership.
5. The live-action was broken up with a video of a song written in celebration of 'Rhapsody of Realities' by the LMAM artists. Pastor Chris says that it sums up the mission of the LoveWorld artists. They use their creativity to spread the words of God to the many nations of the earth. Their promotion of the" Messenger Angel" just confirms that commitment to delivering the message of Christ Embassy. The blending of their hugely different styles in this song was a feat only the most talented can achieve.
4. Testimony Jaga has brought a whole new dimension to saving souls and winning uncommon victories with his 'Gospel Street Crew' and their performance of 'Gone For Life'. His level of worship was so high that together can win the souls of those who feel that they have been neglected and forgotten. Testimony Jaga was one such soul until he encountered his mother in Evangelist Kathy Woghiren who took him in when no one else would. His musical ministration was on such a high level that we were all enraptured with it.
3. Pastor Chris called all South Korean delegates to the stage and Sinach sang live to them on stage. This is what Christ Embassy is all about. The joy at being accepted into the LoveWorld family and giving your life to Jesus Christ is for everyone. Pastor Chris has sent his beloved ministers into places that have never had any ministry before. The song Sinach sang will be etched on their hearts forever.
Blessing the Korean delegation at LIMA 2019
2. Atmosphere, energy and excellence were a key feature of Samsong's uplifting performance of his award-winning song 'E De Work'. He got the audience on their feet with a masterclass in musical ministration and people were praying in tongues. He thanked Pastor Chris for 'putting the word of God in his mouth'.
1. Sinach was told by Pastor Chris,' Hear me say this. That song was done over a year ago, it picked up slowly because it was not the time. Because it was truly a prophecy. And that prophecy has come. When you sing the song understand that God is talking to you. This time when you sing it understand that god is talking to you." Therefore 'Overflow' won the prize for 'Song of the Year'. Her whole being was consumed with joy and rapture that this talented songstress couldn't find her words to thank the Man of God. Her performances were sublime and that is why she is number one.
