Preparing healthy lunches for your family all year round not only requires time and incredible dedication to keeping your family healthy, but it might put your creativity to the test. I remember my mom, who always cooked food at home, from scratch (and still does), asking us all the time: 'What do you want me to cook? I'm out of ideas.' Unfortunately we were not of much help, we knew she will come up with something good. That's why I'm starting a regular feature where I'll share with you healthy, lectin-free lunch box ideas that will make our lives a little easier.
Eating and cooking healthy food doesn't start and stop with the quality of the ingredients we use. Changing the food we consume is a big important step, but for optimal health there are other few disruptors we need to pay attention to. In the Plant Paradox book, Dr. Steven Gundry lists the seven deadly disruptors that are wreaking havoc on our gut health: broad spectrum antibiotics, non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, stomach acid blockers, artificial sweeteners, endocrine disruptors, genetically modified foods and the herbicide Roundup and blue light. Plastic goes under the endocrine disruptors category, chemicals that interfere with the normal functioning of our hormones.

Annaly Capital Management, Inc.NLY - the mortgage real estate investment trust (mREIT) - reported fourth-quarter 2016 adjusted core earnings of 30 cents per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, it came lower than 31 cents earned in the year-ago quarter.
Net interest income (NII) in the quarter totaled $623.6 million, up 36.2% year over year.
For full-year 2016, the bottom-line came in at $1.17 per share, down from $1.28 recorded in the prior-year.
For 2016, NII came in at $1.55 billion, down from $1.70 billion recorded a year ago.
Quarter in Detail
For the reported quarter, average yield on interest-earning assets was 3.81%, while average cost of interest-bearing liabilities (including interest expense on interest rate swaps) was 1.53%.
This led to a net interest rate spread of 2.28% for the quarter, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 81 basis points. Net interest margin came in at 2.49% compared with 1.80% in the year-ago period.
The company's investment at fair value (including Agency mortgage-backed securities and Agency debentures) was $75.6 billion as of Dec 31, 2016, up from $65.9 billion as of Dec 31, 2015.
Annaly's book value per share came in at $11.16 as of Dec 31, 2016, compared with $11.73 as of Dec 31, 2015. At the end of the fourth quarter, the company's capital ratio (representing the ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets) was 13.1%, down from 13.7% at the end of the prior-year quarter.
Leverage was 5.8:1 as of Dec 31, 2016, compared with 6.0:1 as of Dec 31, 2015. The company offered an annualized core return on average equity of 10.13% in the quarter, down from 10.30% in the year-ago quarter.
Our Take
Going forward, we believe Annaly's diversification into commercial assets would help enhance its top-line growth.
Another mREIT - AGNC Investment Corp. AGNC - reported fourth-quarter 2016 net spread and dollar roll income of 64 cents per share (excluding estimated "catch-up" premium amortization benefit) that comfortably beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 60 cents. The reported figure was same as the prior quarter.
While Annaly sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), AGNC Investment carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here .

OT and NT support only a worldwide flood. You would have us believe it flowed over all the mountains but stopped somewhere! No matter what you write you cannot supply any Scriptural support for a local flood. ---warwick
ha(It did part/stop for Moses).
You know, thinking about your statement.
There is not enough water for a universal flood to occur first of all. The flood would be 5 miles 26,000 feet high above sea level. Volume of water that exists on earth is 1,359,843,000 cubic kilometres. If this water were fall in a continuous rainfall, the level of the oceans would rise about (206 feet). It would take about 3 times this amount of water to cover the earth. Then it has to recede somewhere. Stay tuned it gets better/easier.

The Ark had 1,518,750 ft. of volume, had four decks, including the bottom and top decks.
Nice try Trav.
---JoelV. on 12/7/09
Don't balk before you search,Joel. Not taking away from story except the size of the flood,false assumptions. It took multiple proofs for me...a Baptist.
1st problem.
Cubic feet of space needed in ARK
8 people 80
Food for 8 640
clean animals required 2,million cubic ft
Food for clean animals 18million cubic ft
unclean animals 3,million
Food for unclean animals 26,+million
1.8 million Insects 90thousand
Food for insects 700thousand
TOTAL appx 49.8 million cubic feet needed or 34 ARK's. Divide it by half, still need 17 ARK's.

The Ark had 1,518,750 ft. of volume, had four decks, including the bottom and top decks. God only brought animals TO Noah, and the seeds of the trees and plants can float in the water till it recedes and can germinate in the soil. And there is evidence of housing on the bottom of deep lake beds, and they HAVE found the Ark in Turkey.
Nice try Trav.

OT and NT support only a worldwide flood. You would have us believe it flowed over all the mountains but stopped somewhere! No matter what you write you cannot supply any Scriptural support for a local flood. ---warwick
Lets consider what you preach. From known Scriptural facts.
1. That Noah took 4,260 species of mammals that are known now. Pair of ea. Add 7 of the edibles. (Add the extinct versions, min 50%)
2. Birds. 10,000 species. Need a pair.
3. Reptiles. Pair up. 5383 species.
4. 10, million insects. Pair.
5. 420,000 plants.
6. 100,000 Trees. Nuts/seed
Food for all 39,000+ breathing animals.
The flood happened. It happened in a 1/2 million sq mile local area. (Hebrew. Erets,)

Trav, you were going well, then I was away for a few days, and you write 'There was no WORLD WIDE Flood. ---Warwick on 12/5/09
Well, I was going good by your man made doctrinal judgment. Which, for me once truth is seen, is impossible to embrace fairy tales again.
You are trapped in your doctrine. Your flood doctrine originated a few hundred yrs ago,in ignorance of facts and avoidance of them now.
Your doctrine will not/cannot entertain truth in this area (and others) because it is what you have defended/proclaimed all your life. You are a very intelligent (guy?)that is trapped denom/doctrinally. You built this grave and can't seem to jump out. Even when a hand is offered.

I find it curious how we justify choosing whatever we wish to believe of God's Word (after the
of man)... rejecting the balance--all the while calling ourselves children of the living God.
Joh 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken,
36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?
Are we the children of God?

Steven I am sure there are denominational, and also non-denominational churches " which make christianity complex with their doctrines, traditions, ways of living, and interpretations of the bible."
However you make this as a generalization and could only know this to be true if you were God. I attend a denominational church which does not conform to your interpretation of such churches. Your comments are offensive, untrue and elitist. Some Christian!
You mature

Kayhla: If God does not exist, then neither do you.
on 12/5/09
Christianity is a 24/7 lifestyle not a once a week pep talk dished out by denominational "churches" which make christianity complex with their doctrines, traditions, ways of living, and interpretations of the bible.
You mature in Christ by doing what christians are suppoe to be doing. Do an onlineKJV bible search for "one another," "each other," and "encourag" to find what you are looking for - finding God through others. Keep christianity simple by following the two commandments spoken of by Jesus - to love God and to love your neighbors. And don't forget to fellowship daily.
on 12/4/09
You need proof that God exists?
Get up at sunrise, walk outside and look around.
You think all that we know exists by coincidence or chance?
I think not.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. It just means we arent intelligent enough to see God using our own means. Sometimes the heart sees better than the eyeballs do.
If you want science, do research only the mathematic chances of everything that is in place in this world existing perfectly the way it is to make it possible for us to even exist here. Itll blow your mind. Youll never question again that there is an intelligent God behind all we know.
on 12/5/09
Well Bruce B: I still hold to my same answer. We will never completely understand everything about God and His ways. If we did, we would be on the same level as God. We would be a God,ourselves! And you know that is impossible. But God has made the gospel simple enough for a baby to understand. That is enough to go on. We should be faithful to God and believe what he says. Act on it and not to try to prove every little detail. Trust God. That is our job.

Robyn writes: "It is not for us to know all of the answers,right now."
I think it might help to read these words from Jesus...
Mt 13: 10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is
given unto you to know
the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven
, but to them it is not given.
Joh 8:32 And ye shall
the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Blind faith, by any other name, is yet blind: and God does not expect our faith to be based on unknowns.
1Jo 2:20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and
ye know all things
on 12/2/09
Your questions are understandable. But Christianity is about faith. We do everything by faith. It is not for us to know all of the answers,right now. This is what faith is! If we could see everything and understand everything, this would not be faith. We must believe what God says and must believe He is who He says He is and can do what He ways He can do! The scriptures tell us this. The scripts also says: Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Ask God to forgive your unbelief and move on in your walk with the Lord. Don't let the devil trip you up now. This is what he loves to do to God's people. Make him(devil) out of a liar, that he is! Confess,repent and receive strength from Christ to continue on stronger than before..praise God!

Jesus himslef said and he also proved it that he alone is God. Who do you think keeps the world hanging upon nothing in outer space, and spins it like a top and moves it around the sun in perfect alignment so that it neither burns up nor freezes over, and the other planets do not collide into each other but they also keep in perfect alignment? Who do you think keeps the ocean from running over it's boundary and covering the earth since 70 percent of the earth is filled with ocean? Who do you think keeps your average body temperature at 98.6 degrees farenheit and supplies the air for all life to breathe on this planet? and so on.
on 11/11/09
YES! You can prove God exist. I am talking on a secular/factual basis. But with 125 words, I will refer you to Apolgetic books such as: "Case for Christ" by Strobel,"Evidence that demands a verdict" by McDowell. Also, 3rd party writers during the time of Christ (i.e Josephus). Luke would have been a good 3rd party historical book. The only book in scripture written by a Gentile (he's a historian).
If you want to know if God is real in your life, then (as posted by Donna)Just ask him for the proof you need. I did! I always teach people to do this if they have these doubts. There are too many "Christians" out there who think the bible is a fairy tale, because they do not ask.
on 11/10/09
Please do not ask other people like yourself because you may not believe what they tell you. Ask God directly, He knows the confusion in your heart Matt.7:7.

We cannot prove GOD exists. I love the George Washington anology since it is in reality how we look at the Bible. The Bible has a lot of proven History in other words many of the events have been colaborated by other sources.
But there is still room for doubt. If a person does not want to believe they can choose to do so.
Right now millions of dollars are being spent to get nonliving material to become alive. After five years they have not succeded on purpose what they say happened by accident.

I asked my stepfather one day about this and he gave me this simple thought.He ask me a simple question who was George Washington? I answered everyone knows who he was the first president. He ask me how did I know that and I explained that I had learned that in history class.He ask if I was taught that out of a history book and I said yes. He then ask me this.Did you ever see George Washington? I said well no I had not.But you believe what the history books say right? I said well yes. So he said let me get this straight you believe in a man you have never seen never spoke to and have only heard about him from a teacher out of a man made book right? I replied yes,then why do you not believe in God it takes faith to believe. 2 Corinthians 5:7
on 11/10/09
AlwaysOn we should not get bogged down in semantics. 'Christian' is just a name coined by men to describe those who follow Jesus as their God and Saviour. Those who accept they were lost in sin, but forgiven when they asked for forgiveness, accepting that Jesus died in their place paying the price of their sin. What a wonderful thing that is!
Names don't change reality, there is one God, and God the Son says the only way to right relationship with God is through Him, the Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
My faith is not in man, nor man-made doctrines, or organizations. Though I happily attend an excellent church my ultimate loyalty is to Jesus, no denomination.
on 6/11/09
Thank you Bruce and Carla for your inspiring answers.
To answer the question about proving that God exists and that Christianity is the true relgion.
Nevermind religion,SINCERELY ask God to reveal himself and he will. God will reveal himself, he will not prove himself. For glory must be revealed but cannot be proven. Proof is not a discripton of worship, faith, love or holiness and has at its root - Satan the father of lies and doubt.
You can't heal or part the Red Sea with doubt.
Doubt and questioning God is Page 1 from Satan's playbook used in his original rebellion in the heavenlies and in the garden. Nothing has changed through the ages and the old playbook still works. Good grief.

Kimberley I read Scripture cover to cover & see textural integrity. In the NT I see Jesus and the apostles constantly quoting from the OT, as sober history. I see man's history, creation, fall, prophecy of the coming Messiah, right there in the beginning. We see Jesus totally fulfilling the prophecies about Him. I see no gaps, no errors (a few tiny ones?), no deletions. I see 'All Scripture is God-breathed...'(2 Tim. 3:16) more than sufficient to equip us for every good work.
I note that God gave us the Holy Spirit who guides us to understand God's word.
There is error and even heresy in some churches however Christianity isn't in men's opinions or buildings but is in Jesus,His word & His Church.
on 6/11/09
Warwick -> 1) I agree with what you say and most certainly with John 14:6. However, Jesus never said Christianity is the way. He said I am the way. Christianity today has been corrupted and is far from what Jesus and his disciples taught over 2000 years ago. Things has been added to and taken out of the bible to make our way to God hidden from us. This is why we as Christians are so divided today. God is not the author of division. Yet today we are very much divided. So based upon our very division as Christians I can make that statement and be correct in it.
on 6/11/09
Warwick, I know people who do not call themselves Christian, yet they have a very strong faith in the Master as the Son of the Most High, as Savior and as Messiah. They believe the scriptures and believe He is the Way, Truth and Life, but they are vehemently opposed to a lot within the "Christian religion". Though I understand you are referring to the "Christian faith", I wanted to point out that many do not follow the Christianity of today, as Kimberly stated, and they do not believe it is a true religion. Therefore the question of it being the ONLY true religion is something they strongly disagree with.
on 6/11/09
You cannot to the satisfaction of everyone prove GOD exists. There is evidence for the existence of GOD and for the bible being true. But it still requires faith to believe in GOD.
To believe in evolution you have to believe the Sciencetists who teach it.
The Bible has fulfilled prophecy, science before it's time and true events in history. It has the testimony of millions of people on how it changed their life.

Kimberly you wrote 'What I challenged was christianity as we know it today says that christianity is the "only" true religion and Jesus never said that.'
I cannot see how you can be correct as in John 14:6 Jesus says 'I am the way the truth and the life. There is no way to the Father except through me.' If there is no other way to God except through Jesus then Christianity is the only 'religion'. I put religion in commas because I believe Christianity is not religion but faith.
on 6/10/09
Not intending to be rude, so please don't take this that way, but do you have a better explanation for how the universe exists? Even looking at the "big bang" theory...okay, there was nothing and then that "nothing" exploded?!
When people want proof, I'm reminded of a Buddhist story about a man who was about to be killed and God stepped in to save him, but the man said, "Wait, I want proof that you really exist before I let you save me!"
No one has to believe in Him. The fact is that He exists regardless. In your search for proof, you can listen to arguments ad nauseum, but until you "know" Him in your Spirit, there will never be enough proof.
on 6/10/09
You want proof? I'll give you some ways. But I'm telling you, you will deny most evidence. At some point, even though you don't like to hear it, you will have to know he is real by simply believing. Only then will you actually believe the legitimate proof you will get with my ways of proving god's existence.
Ask questions. Ask them to god if you will...and listen to the answer coming to you. Write it down if you feel like it. You will find most things you hear impossible to know on your own.
on 6/10/09
Imagine holding something very simple...like an apple, a feather...whatever. Close your eyes and see it very clearly in your mind...every little detail. And imagine holding it. Visualize it in your mind...and how one day you will hold this in your hand. And then watch. Watch how in about 3 weeks time...you end up holding or seeing that exact object you imagined. How else do you think it got there?
Do you have a better explanation for how life works? You seem to not, since you're questioning life right now anyways. Watch. Listen. God is everywhere, everything. He is the grandest idea you ever had, he is the happiest feeling you've ever felt. He's the prettiest sight you will see.

warwick - I think my response was slightly mis-understood. I see part 2 of my response was not posted. I agree there is only one God and Jesus is the way as with all the prophets before him that pointed to Jesus are also correct. What I challenged was christianity as we know it today says that christianity is the "only" true religion and Jesus never said that. It's a shame that part 2 was not posted. I didn't think I said anything that should've been censored.
on 6/10/09
Kimberley maybe I have missunderstood what you have written but the Bible does say there is only one God and that Jesus is the only way to that God.
As you say ours is a created world and there is only one Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
on 6/9/09
1) Kayhla - You have a valid question however, I don't think it's whether God exists or not. We know he exists by looking at his very creation. We can not create anything from nothing by saying "BE" and it comes into existence. The most we can do is take things that are already here and make something else. That in itself shows something with a higher power exist. Only Christians say that christianity is the only "true" religion. If you look in the bible nowhere does it say that.
on 6/9/09
we have the witness of jesus,his ministry.As human beings we have the witness of the 12 disciples,and their lives after jesus returned to heaven.What was or would be their advantage in lying?they were persecuted unto death for their faith.Men will die for truth,but not for a lie.I believe jesus was who he said he was,because I believe this everything for me falls into place.

God is always with you. I'd stake my life on it.
on 5/4/09
How we know God exists....
because man has a conscience and knows when he does wrong (the Holy Spirit promptings)
because the Bible goes back hundreds and hundreds of years of human history that can be archeologically substantiated.
because evil people who do not believe the Bible are caught out lying about everything - proven liars.
because Jesus was a real person, historically documented by writers of his time, as were the apostles.
because nobody has ever risen and gone bodily up to Heaven except for Jesus. There were many witnesses to his resurrection, and an earthquake which was witnessed by hundreds and predicted by Jesus.
on 4/27/09
This is how you prove God exists: you get on your knees and admit (to God) that you're lost in sin and that you know you can't save yourself.
Until you do that, from your heart, you'll always be in doubt. Once you do that, you'll have all the evidence you need that God exists. The mere act of doing that is your proof.
Then, all you have to do is be grateful for it. That goes a long way toward keepin' Him around... and you on your knees.
BTW: As for true "religion", do you really believe anyone else but Jesus would have climbed onto that cross... for you?
on 4/25/09
That is a good answer. I think it was from Bruce. If I might add...All God's people from time to time will find their faith to be at rock-bottom. Because I pray and complain about it, God speaks and tells me "I will get it back". And I always do.

God does not need you to prove him you have to prove God. What do I mean if you have been saved for so long and can't find him, your not alone. I guess every believer can say at some point that doubt set in especially when you go through difficult times.
I did and vowed not to go back to work until I found him and I did I found him in his word and evidence through my life experience. I just lost myself for a while maybe you did too?

I too, was at that place, where I had believed all my life. I came to a place in my life, where I questioned even my own beliefs.
In the book on James it says, you have not because you ask not. So I started asking.
I ask God to show me, that I was having doubts. Where it said your to love God, I said to God How can I love someone I don't know. Fear, how can I love what I fear.
If your heart is open, you will know.
I just couldn't fathum God not there, What would be the use. It has been 15yrs, I am such a happier more secure person.

Creation Calls
Brian Doerksen
I have felt the wind blow, whispering your name
I have seen your tears fall, when I watch the rain
Gazing at a bird in flight, soaring through the air
Lying down beneath the stars, I feel your presence there
Listening to a river run, watering the earth
Fragrance of a rose in bloom, a newborn's cry at birth
How could I say there is no God
When all around creation calls
A singing bird, a mighty tree
The vast expanse of open sea
I love to stand at ocean's shore
And feel the thundering breakers roar
To walk through golden fields of grain
'Neath endless blue horizon's frame
I believe, I believe, I believe

I know very few people who have been a Christian all their lives. The reason I say that is because there must be a new birth, a new creation, a new self that is the result of true salvation. When a person says "I was always saved", they usually cannot point to one definitive moment in time where the newness of life occurred. Perhaps you are like this.
If not, Romans 1:19-20 describes that God has made the invisible things of Himself visible to us by what is within us and by the created world around us. Within us is a conscience that (before seared) has the Law of God written on it. And if you believe the world around you was not created, well then, good luck at the Pearly Gates.

"Maybe" I am not stating myself clearly enough for you, steveng and Warwick. I know that only God can provide 100% accuracy of prophecy etc., but, I still say Scripture does not directly address the issue, "How can I know that God is real or really exists?" Scripture states it as fact and that we are without excuse, I'm not trying to say that we can't know God is real.

God created us, and continues to endure us for one simple reason:companionship.He desires to have a personal relationship with you! He created you and endowed you with unique and special abilities.If you have any spark within you that resonates with this idea...seek him! He is waiting.

Tommy when you read Romans 1:20 God plainly says the creation,that which He made, in which we live, is such solid evidence for His extistence that 'men are without excuse.'
Some would say naturalistic evolution is their excuse however it is a car without an engine. The idea is not proveable and the evidence can be interpreted at least two ways. In reality the evidence points to supernatural creation, as explained in Genesis, and elsewhere.
Surely we believe by faith, or faith would not be faith, but it is not blind faith.
There is an abundance of information to show the hopelessness of evolution. In fact there is a movie 'The Voyage that Shook the World' about to be released. Look for it!

The moment that I recieved the Holy Ghost and spoke in tongues was the proof that Jesus rose on the third day. It was the proof to me that God created the universe, and that he is alive. I recieved the Holy Ghost just as the Apostles did in Acts 2:1-4. It was wonderful, I felt happy, excited, and energetic.There were many more feelings that I couldnt decribe, But they all felt so good.
Let it be clear, that God is very real. I also want to say, recieving the holy Ghost and speaking in tongues is also real. And recieving the Holy Ghost is for everyoneto recieve Acts2:39

tommy3007: "I know that "the heavens declare the glory of God...", but, what I meant was that Scripture does not address the issue of whether God really exists or not."
I didn't write anything about the heavens. I wrote about "prophesy" and "miracles." No other being on earth can perform these feats except God though man. No other being on earth can predict events hundreds of years in advance and have them ALL come true. Besides many of the quotes are spoken by God himself. Someone had to speak them. All other religions of the world appease man, but the words of God does not tickle the ears of man. His words are harsh. Man could have never written a book because he wouldn't be as harsh as God.

steveng, I know that "the heavens declare the glory of God...", but, what I meant was that Scripture does not address the issue of whether God really exists or not. It is taken for fact that either we believe that God exists or we are "fools" according to Psalm 14:1

Well, you can see the work of the devil in and among his people. The trouble in this is, the devil's people are blind, so blind that they cannot see the wonderful work of God in this world. So, Since there is evil in the world, we had better be so glad there is a God, who can limit the work of Satan, otherwise, we would all, unbelievers as well as believers would be in a whole lot more trouble. Just amagine if there were only evil. Ofcourse this is impossible, because God created Lucifer, aka the devil. And God is over the devil. He is limited. Next to God's power, the devil is like an ant under a Elephant's hoof. Lets rejoice in this....I may add, that I have had some experience in that. Satan's power is nothing next to God's power.

kayhla: I suppose any answer given would depend on the grounds for your doubt. There are individuals who doubt because they go through very difficult situations and then wonder why God, if He exists, would let these things happen. This (more or less) is what is referred to as the 'problem of evil'.
The basis of doubt for some people is more intellectual. I offer the following as good reasons (maybe not necessarily 'proofs') to believe God exists: the universe's existence, design in nature, anthropic principle, absolute morality, and the existence of the mind or consciousness.

Dr. Carl Baugh was an atheist who through the studing of science became convinced that everything was created by God. In his video series he discussed the fig wasp.
The fig wasp can not live without the fig tree (it 's the only place to lay its eggs,) and the fig tree can not live without the fig wasp, because it's the only way the tree gets pollinated.
There is no way that these two living organisms could have come from evolution because it is impossible.
Also, there is evidence from high degree mathematicians who have proven mathematically that Intelligent Design is the only possible option.

tommy3007: "If you read through the Bible, you will notice that NOWHERE does Scripture present any PROOF of the reality of God."
On the contrary, it's called prophesy. I'm not talking about foretelling the future using trends, but actually telling the world about certain events after hundreds of years.
Miracles are also proof God exists. The people who saw Jesus perform miracles believed immediately. True miracles don't happen much today because of weak faith that will eventually lead to apostasy.

Does God exist? Well let's see, what if He doesn't exist, then there is no Hell you have to worry about. What if He does exist, though. Are you really willing to play Russian Rulette and gamble with your eternaty? If you are wrong, and God does exist, you will be in Hell for ALL eternaty for doubting Him. Doubt (Unbelief) is a sin, and must be repented of. Jesus said that cursed is the one who asks for a sign in order to believe, and blessed is the one who believes without a sign. Stop doubting, and start to have FAITH. Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God.

If you read through the Bible, you will notice that NOWHERE does Scripture present any PROOF of the reality of God. You either accept what has been revealed through the Holy Spirit and God's Word, or you go off on your own little adventure and find out perhaps too late that God is real. If you have to be convinced, there is no room for faith. You read the Word of God and accept what it says or you deny it and pay a very severe penalty.

Kayhla: "I've been a Christian my whole life". This is probably one of the most confusing statements of the present generation. Many of us, me included, accepted the free gift of salvation earnestly and honestly but didn't discover the gift of the Christian life that goes along with it. I encourage you to change your first line to "Have I been a Christian my whole life" and then see my entry below. Being a Christian isn't only securing salvation, but also living a life that is pleasing to God. I praise your boldness in asking this question and I encourage you to test your beliefs and return to your first love.

Belief in God is a matter of faith, not knowledge. Obviously some become overly dogmatic and though they only have grounds for faith, they can't live with that and manufacture certainty and pretend to knowledge. Faith is based on feelings and on thoughts that seem to point towards a benevolent creator and God, but we cannot simply look at physical evidence and reach certainty. Many have very convincing experiences, but it isn't like most lend themselves to independent investigation. In the end, even with a miraculous experience, if God is all powerful, He has the power to convince us (even of a lie) which makes the experience still a subject of faith, not knowledge.

Since God did not set out in the word of God to prove His existence [He only proclaimed it] "IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED", what do you want from us? Christianity is the only true religion. I am proclaiming it!!!!Hallelujah!

How can you be a Christian your whole life and wonder if God exists? It doesn't work that way. A person has to have faith before they can believe God is real. If you truly are a Christian than you shouldn't need to question if God is real or not. Because you already know by the feeling you got when he first saved you. It sounds like you already know that God is real and Satan is trying to blind your thoughts by making you believe in his lies that God isn't real. He can do that and some believe him and they don't know what's real and what isn't.

Intelligent Design. Evolution is its' own religion and the Marxist way of thinking. There is a God and He knows your name and the number of hairs on your head from birth to death. Look up to the heavens and say, "God are you real?" You will feel God's power move within you and breathe in new life. If you are really sincere, you'll know the truth in your spirit. The truth is that we did not evolve from monkeys. If you want to be like a monkey, go to the zoo. If you want to uncover the mysteries of the universve, go to God?

I've often wondered about single mothers who are not prepared to raise children. No husband, education, money, home, etc. Many end up on welfare and the children have difficult lives. I've personally known many loving Christian couples who were unable to have children naturally. Some were able to adopt children and others were not. I just don't understand "what" God is trying to show us through all of these "having children" hardships.
Well, I eventually came to understand that there are some things that only God himself understands. Maybe he wanted me to just think about what I've just written about and stand in AWE of him. Only God is God. My job is to let him be God and show love to the people around me.

God exists. You've heard the sarcastic saying, "Guns don't kill people. People kill people." God is not responsible for the evil's caused by mankind. Everyone has a choice to do good or evil. War, poverty, pestilence and famine are preventable if those in charge were honest and forthright. Society is running downhill as the prime goal in life is to line one's pockets: be drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. There is a God but we make our own beds by using the God-given right of free choice.

kayhla, the proof that the Father exist is life itself, as life's Source, Sustainer and Foundation.
Christianity is 'The Way' of true life and living in and with the Creator of life as we know it.
Religion is simply a method of worship.
The method of one who follows the example of Jesus, is a reliance, trust, and dependence upon the Father's 'Spirit' and 'Grace', as in His inspiration, guidance and influence, to lead one into all truth and to empower that one to live out that truth.
His truth is HIs Word, and it is He that works in us to believe-rely on, adhere to, trust in and depend upon the One sent as man's Savior, Comforter and Source of His empowerment.

Kahyla~ I pray you get back to your first love...the love of God above everything else in life. Without God, nothing else makes one bit of sense and life is mere emptiness without Him. To me, I think of life without God, like walking around dead in a living body.
No amount of money, pleasure, or anything of this world can satisfy us like God.
If I were you I'd:
1. Listen to people like Miche here on this blog site who have a true passion for God, and shares deep from her heart, and is a knowledgable, dependable, kind Christian. Please find Christian friends like that.
2. Tune out the world (tv etc) and get into God's word with all your heart.
3. Listen to music that will pump you up for God.

You yourself are fulfilling end-time prophesy when many christians will leave the faith. Satan's trap is set when christians fill up their entire day with computers, TVs, radios, ipods, family, friends, shopping, entertainment, school, work, etc that they don't have time to develop a personal and intimate relationship with God. Modern society has developed to the point of people believe more of the miracles of man's technology and medical advancements than of the power of God. This is the reason for the sabbath - to get away from the worldly things and walk along with God.

God DOES exist, and Christianity IS the TRUTH. In the O.T. there are at least 100 prophecies about Christ. For someone to fulfil even 10 of these prophecies, it is more possible to get struck by lightning 4 times in the same place then to fulfil even 10 of these prophecies. Jesus fulfilled ALL of the prophecies. If you still have doubt, you are in FEAR. Fear can be defined in several ways: Faith in the devil - not God, being like the unbelieving - what the Bible calls sin, or False Evedance Appearing Real. We are to be in FAITH NOT fear - fear is of the devil. Fear is also called unbelief, which IS SIN.

Believing that God does not exist is just as much of a belief of FAITH as believing that there is a God but much less scientific. I feel that it is more difficult to intelligently prove that God does not exist then that He does. No other religion has a saviour or leader who has actually risen from the dead and is alive now. Historical accounts of the resurrection are numerous even outside of the Bible. Can you prove that wind exists or air, electricity, sound, and try to explain the real depths of vision.

Kayhla: I was a Christian for twenty years and experienced a period of severe doubts. I decided to research the other beliefs including reading Charles Darwin books on Evolution. By summarily researching the other beliefs and theories one by one I was able to return to my first Love. I have never been the blind faith type, I was more of a skeptical believer. However after I conducted my thorough research of all religions and theories I returned to Jesus once again and he welcomed me back. Settle the issue in your mind once and for all, conduct your research, and I will pray that you experience the same rebirth with Christ that I have experienced. I wish you the best.

Consider the world around you. Where could everything --> sun, moon, stars, air, plants, animals, people, etc. --> have possibly come from?
Study the book of Genesis. God CREATED everything. God PROVIDES what is needed to keep everything in balance and living. All this while --> air, water, oil, minerals, fish, animals, trees, etc. --> are being consumed at ever faster rates. Only God has the ability to REPLENISH what he CREATED.
Every attempt to explain how everything is the result of evolution, has been met with roadblocks or obstacles. Only CREATION can explain things.

No human being can prove to you that God exists except God Himself can. What do you want? A supernatural sign? Like what?
See, the bible says blessed are those who believe and have not seen....Just start believing His word and doing what it says to do. Then watch God in action. Prayer is the key to moving God's hand and heart.
But if I were you, I'd ask Him yourself these questions....Christianity is the only TRUE religion because it isn't a religion, it's a relationship with Jesus Christ, The Messiah. The Lord God is the Only God that sent His only begotten Son to die for your sins...no other god has done that.

Installing an air conditioning system in your home is not only a great way to keep the entire home comfortably cool, but it is also a great way to protect your home. Heat and humidity can easily lead to swelling in wood furniture and flooring, and also cause other health hazards such as moulding. During the summer, damp and mould can easily spread throughout your basement, making a brand-new residential air conditioning system essential.
The best air conditioning system is one that can effortlessly handle the heat load of your home efficiently, at the lowest cost. However, a substandard air conditioning installation can cost you more in the long run, which is why you should work with a reputable air conditioning installer to ensure that you get the best system as well as quality workmanship.
Choosing the Right Air Conditioning System for Your Home
When it comes to finding the perfect home air conditioner, you need to consult a reliable installer to assess your home and recommend the right system for your specific environment. They can tell you about all the different types of cooling options available to your home as well as what will work perfectly with your home's unique heating system. Experts can then recommend or design an ac installation that will work perfectly in your home to keep you cool and comfortable throughout the year.
Buying an air conditioning system can be a complicated process, which is why you need to know exactly what system you are looking for. There are a few aspects to consider before you choose the right system, as a system that is either too big or too small for your home won't have the desired effect.
Measuring the size of the system you'll need
One of the most important aspects is to accurately measure the space that needs to be cooled. If you have a very large house with multiple rooms, you may need more than one new air conditioner to effectively cool every room.
If your unit is too large for your home, it will turn on very quickly and to rapidly cool the room, before it then shuts off. This process will happen very fast and the process will have to be restarted frequently as heat will easily come into the house again. This is not energy efficient so it's important not to choose a system that is too big for your home as you want to keep your air conditioner installation cost to a minimum.
Different Types of Air Con Systems for Your Home
There are different types of air conditioning systems available for your home, including ducted systems, central air conditioner, a ductless air conditioner and even a portable unit. These are some of the most popular systems and the one you choose will depend on your environment and your specific requirements.
Split air conditioning system is ideal if you want to go just a single room. Similarly, portable units are very easy to move around and they are mobile so you can put them anywhere you need it. Ducted or central systems are very energy efficient and they can consistently maintain a cool temperature throughout your house. They are also very silent in operation.
When it comes to finding the perfect it conditioning system for your home, always work with a reliable installer to help you find the best residential air conditioning system for your home. Hamuch offers pricing upfront to avoid nasty surprises

Dakota Access formally moves ahead
Presented by Chevron
With help from Annie Snider and Eric Wolff
ACCESS GRANTED: In a sharp reversal from just a couple of months ago, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Wednesday evening officially granted the easement necessary for the completion of the hotly-contested Dakota Access pipeline. With the easement covering 1.25 miles of the pipeline that runs under the Missouri River along federally owned land now in hand, developer Energy Transfer Partners can begin building the final segment of the pipeline. "Going forward, we are committed to reviewing the permitting process to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to be heard and that a fair, certain, and legal process has been followed when approving new infrastructure," Sen. John Hoeven, a key project backer, said in a statement. The decision came one day after President Donald Trump's administration said in a court filing that it would green light the infrastructure project.
Protesters rally against: Environmental advocates gathered for a series of "emergency" protests across the country Wednesday ahead of the approval. Activists rallied in front of the White House, vowing to continue fighting the project. Former Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said prior to the announcement that allowing the project to move ahead "willfully ignores the government's trust and treaty obligations to tribal nations" and "the tribe is right to pursue legal action." The Guardian reports protesters returned to site of the project in North Dakota to mount a "last stand" against the pipeline.
DOJ NOW IN SESSIONS: Senators formally approved Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday night by a 52 to 47 vote (Sen. Joe Manchin was the lone Democrat in support), but lawyers told ME it'll be a while before it's clear exactly what his confirmation means for DOJ's Environment and Natural Resources Division. A key next signal will be who Sessions picks as assistant attorney general to run the environmental portfolio, though it's taken many months for prior administrations to fill that role. Several noted Sessions' years of experience on the Environment and Public Works Committee makes him unusually familiar with some of the environment and energy issues winding their way through DOJ.
Longer-term forecast: "Over time, I would expect ENRD to contract a bit through either attrition or reassignment to other divisions," Brian Potts, a partner with Perkins Coie, says. "I would expect environmental enforcement to be much more targeted and the number of regulatory defense lawyers to stay the same or possibly even increase."

BACKLOG MOUNTS FOR TRUMP'S ENERGY TEAM: No one has been dedicated to energy policy during Trump's first three weeks on the job so his new energy adviser will be playing catch-up as soon as he gets on the job, Pro's Eric Wolff reports. The president is eyeing energy lobbyist Mike Catanzaro for a key slot on the National Economic Council as he fills out his team. Perhaps the most pressing issue is FERC's lack of a quorum, which prevents it from approving interstate pipelines, electric rate cases or other business. But a replacement for ex-FERC Commissioner Norman Bay and other senior vacancies aren't likely to be filled until Trump's energy adviser comes aboard.
CARBON TAX AS UNLIKELY TODAY AS IT WAS YESTERDAY AND THE DAY BEFORE THAT: Republican eminence grise James A. Baker III and his compadres at the Carbon Leadership Council believe they can sell a carbon tax to Republicans in Congress by offering it as an exchange for dumping EPA carbon regs. But with a Republican in the White House, the GOP thinks it can get rid of things like the Clean Power Plan without trading it for anything. A spokesman for Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady says a carbon tax just isn't in the works. "This isn't part of our 'Built for Growth' tax reform blueprint," Emily Schillinger told ME in an email.
Democrats on the committee like the idea of a carbon tax, but there's no sign Republican lawmakers are going to sign on. "It's good to see at least some Republicans recognize that global climate change exists and is a challenge we must confront, through the tax code or otherwise," Ways and Means Ranking Member Richard Neal said in a statement. "But here on Capitol Hill, it's not real until Congressional Republicans join Democrats in this effort and put forward concrete ideas."
ANOTHER SETTLEMENT IN ALISO CANYON LEAK: SoCalGas will pay $8.5 million to the South Coast Air Quality Management District to settle claims relating to the massive natural gas leak at Aliso Canyon storage facility. Approximately $1 million of the settlement will fund an independent health study while $5.65 million will pay for emission fees related to the leak.
DEPARTMENT OF LONG SHOTS: The Environmental Working Group asked DOJ Wednesday to investigate whether EPA nominee Scott Pruitt "knowingly and willfully made" false statements during his confirmation hearing. The letter cites statements concerning regulation of mercury, the number of cases Pruitt participated in against the EPA and claims about his enforcement record as Oklahoma attorney general as especially troublesome.
Meanwhile, 15 progressive and environmental groups announced Wednesday they'd delivered one million signed petitions to the Senate urging lawmakers to reject Pruitt's nomination. Organizations include the Sierra Club, Environmental Defense Fund, Natural Resource Defense Council, League of Conservation Voters, Earthjustice and NextGen Climate, among others.
ON DECK TODAY: Trump meets with airline and airport executives today at 9:30 a.m. at the White House, Pro Transportation's Kathyrn A. Wolfe reports. They'll discuss regulations and air traffic control overhaul, but ME also wonders if carbon emissions will come up. EPA last year decided emissions from aircraft endanger human health and the environment, triggering a requirement that the agency regulate them. The airline industry has pushed to set those standards at the same level as U.N.'s International Civil Aviation Organization.
Moderate Democrats coming too: Centrist Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin, Heidi Heitkamp, Joe Donnelly and Jon Tester are also scheduled to meet with Trump today, ostensibly about the Supreme Court vacancy. But ME will also be on the lookout for energy-related discussions as well.
GETTING HOT IN HERE: Texas Sen. Ted Cruz called Democrats "the party of the Ku Klux Klan" Wednesday and blamed them for "foaming at the mouth" to block Trump's Cabinet, POLITICO's Elana Schor reports. "The Democrats are angry and they're out of their minds," Cruz said. "And really you know where their anger is directed, it's not at Republicans — their anger is directed at the American people." ME readers may remember Cruz's own Obama-era obstruction tactics.
OIL FOR SALE! DOE announced Wednesday it would sell 10 million barrels of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in late February. The reserves will come from three sites — Bryan Mound and Big Hill in Texas, and West Hackberry in Louisiana — and revenues will go toward funding NIH innovation projects. The sale was mandated by Congress in the 21st Century Cures Act.
YOU'RE EXEMPT!: The Army Corps of Engineers' new nationwide permits won an exception from the Trump administration's government-wide regulatory freeze yesterday. The updated permitting program, which was published as a final rule on Jan. 6, offers a streamlined permitting process for a range of projects from road construction to oil pipeline crossings that are seen as having only a small impact on federally protected streams wetlands. It also included new language relating to tribal consultation.
The new permits were set to go into effect March 19, before the current program expires, and thanks to the exception granted yesterday, it still will. "The Clean Water Act mandates that nationwide permits be renewed every 5 years and without this action, even small developments could have faced extensive delays," said Bruce Berwick, a retired Army Corps Brigadier General now with Dawson & Associates.
MAIL CALL! DON'T FORGET ABOUT RURAL AMERICA: Forty organizations, led the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, sent a letter to Trump Wednesday asking him to designate a senior staff member focused on rural issues. "Such an individual or office could become an added voice to ensure that the interests of rural Americans are addressed across the highest levels of your administration," the groups wrote.
FEDERAL FREEZE FRAME: The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Regulatory Affairs and Federal Management will hold a hearing today examining "ideas for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the civil service." Expect Trump's federal hiring freeze to come up. Subpanel Chairman James Lankford (R-Okla.) is expected to describe declining numbers of federal workers through attrition as an imperfect but entirely valid approach to altering the current workforce without legislation. The hearing kicks off at 10:00 a.m. in Dirksen 342.
HELP SOUGHT FOR ETHANOL EXPORTS: The U.S. Grains Council, Renewable Fuels Association and Growth Energy released a letter to Trump Wednesday seeking help "in urgently addressing China's recent implementation of protectionist trade barriers that are shutting out U.S. exports of ethanol and distillers dried grains." Of course, ME pointed out yesterday that China was one of the top three destinations for U.S. ethanol exports last year, taking more than one of every six barrels shipped overseas.
MOM, I'M SINKING: Large swaths of California's Central Valley are sinking significantly, according to a NASA study prepared for the California Department of Water Resources. The subsidence, driven by massive groundwater pumping by farmers, especially during the Golden State's 5-year-long record drought, is now endangering the major water infrastructure systems that transport surface water supplies. The California Aqueduct, which feeds 25 million Californians and nearly 1 million acres of farmland, has dropped more than two feet in one region, cutting by 20 percent the amount of water it can safely carry. And a major artery of the federal Central Valley Project dropped 22 inches.
Department of Water Resources Director William Croyle called the situation "untenable" in a statement, saying "Groundwater pumping now puts at risk the very system that brings water to the San Joaquin Valley." His agency is looking at a variety of options for dealing with the problem, including curtailing pumping near the infrastructure under the state's new groundwater regulations and upgrading the system, which could cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
YOU BETTER TESTIFY: All House members will have a chance to weigh in on federal spending priorities before relevant Appropriations subpanels over the next few weeks. Of particular interest to ME readers: Lawmakers can testify on Feb. 28 before the Interior subcommittee at 1:30 p.m. and March 8 before the Energy and Water subcommittee at 10 a.m. (h/t POLITICO Pro's Budget & Appropriations Brief)
WHAT'S GOING ON DOI? There have been a wave of theft reports emerging from the Interior Department's inspector general over the last couple of days. One found the former director of the Shoshone Oil & Gas Commission in Fort Washakie, Wyo. stole funds and pled guilty to a count of embezzlement. Another found the assistant loan manager for Fort Peck Tribes ordered 23 short-term loans be issued in her or family members' names. And a third investigation discovered BLM paid a vendor $20,720 to deliver eight backup power supply units but only received one of them.
PEOPLE WARY OF CLIMATE RULES REPEAL: Respondents to a Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday opposed the Trump administration removing regulations specifically intended to combat climate change by a margin of 61 percent to 29 percent, POLITICO's Louis Nelson reports.
LIGHTER CLICK: House Natural Resources Democrats are launching a "Better Know a Member" video series featuring each of their members. First up is ranking member Raúl Grijalva, who says he'd survive longer in the wilderness than Trump.

What would happen if you had to pass the ICBC Drive Smart Refresher test before you renewed your driver's licence? More daunting still, what if you had to pass the same test that a Learner Driver has to in order to obtain their licence for the first time? Or, horror of horrors, what if you were actually considered to be an experienced driver who knows much more than the basics and the test was actually made to be challenging?
I suspect that some drivers would have to be issued a 90 day interim licence in order to study and try to pass again.
Yes, ICBC makes the Learn to Drive Smart and the Tuning Up Guide available on line for free to anyone that is interested in making sure that their skills are sharp or remind themselves about something that has become a bit hazy over time. Should they have to go one step further and publish a series of advanced guides for self study?
I've often heard the opinion expressed that drivers should be made to pass an in car test before renewing their licence.
Driver examiners that I have discussed this with did not think it would be effective. The driver would simply drive properly, pass the test and then go right back to all the bad driving habits that they were comfortable with.
I know from my experience running the DriveSmartBC web site that there are long time drivers who are a bit hazy on the basics. An example from last week's correspondence was the difference between regulatory and advisory road signs. That person was surprised to find that the drivers she was unhappy with in her neighbourhood did not always have to slow to 30 km/h for a curve warning sign.
The Drive Smart Refresher will help drivers like these as long as they don't make the mistake in thinking that the random 20 questions that they answer if they take the test only once will be sufficient to confirm that they know what they should.
Oddly enough, Drive Smart does not equal Drive Safe. A study by Royal Automobile Club of Victoria, Australia titled The Effectiveness of Driver Training as a Road Safety Measure reports the following:
Promoting driver training as a means of improving driving skills and knowledge assumes that there are deficiencies in the skills or knowledge of drivers, and that these can be improved via training. It also assumes that these skill deficiencies increase the risk of crash involvement. These assumptions are largely false and based on beliefs not supported by research evidence.
What may be successful includes these steps: establish a baseline, monitor driving behaviour, start with those needing the most help, identify their poor driving behaviours, coach those drivers and finally recognize their improvement.
Do we have the stomach to do this or are we willing to be content with just under 1,000 crashes per day in our province?

I am a big dreamer and goal setter. When I set goals, I am pretty laser focused on reaching them. I am a doer. I don't sit still and allow unproductive time easily. In fact, it is very hard and uncomfortable for me to have unproductive time and it's something I often have to force myself to do.
I walk in every room in my house and can't wait for that feeling when it is sparkling clean. Now mind you, I have 4 children and a petting zoo residing in the same building as me. This goal of always having a "staged, open house, bleach smelling home that looks like a picture out of Pier One or Arhaus" is an absolute impossible feat. Yet it doesn't stop me from trying…. every single day… to get there. The problem is, I often end the day feeling like I failed.
I came down this morning and looked at the mess in my piano room. At first the feelings of exhaustion and defeat crept in, my inner doer complaining I didn't get enough done yesterday while reprimanding myself for poor parenting skills that raised children that don't know how to clean up after themselves!
Yet I also have a fighting voice in my head. A voice of appreciation for the markers and crayons. A whisper that reminds me how blessed I am to have these 4 children that don't always…okay, it is pretty rare that they do… clean up after themselves. In fact, I really, absolutely LOVE the chaos and messiness of my life.
As a a doer (is this even a real word) and goal-focused person, it's like there are always two separate dialogues going on in my head. One that is saying DO MORE, YOU DIDN'T GET ENOUGH DONE… the same one that is so excited to hit that goal and can almost feel it and taste it. Then there is the other influence in my head that relishes in the ups and downs of the journey and knows the process and day to day chaos is the REAL joy in striving for those goals.
I like having both voices. One keeps me growing and dreaming, which is my favorite thing to do, while the other pries my eyes open to the already there beauty and blessings in my life, giving me an appreciation for the messiness and ups and downs of the journey.
So as I sit here and drink my coffee, I'm just going to roll my eyes at the disastrous, non magazine worthiness of my current living situation AND smile thinking about how much I love those little hands that can destroy a room in 30 seconds. I'm going to growl at this ugly blue carpet I plan on ripping out while reminding myself I want to get rid of all 27 pets we own (especially that small annoying dog that likes to come in and pee on this carpet) AND reminisce about all the pets my parents allowed me growing up, reminding me how much I enjoy seeing my children get to experience the same thing. I might sit down at my computer this morning and wonder how much more I need to do to hit my crazy income and business goals to help my family in the way I want to, BUT at the same time know 100% it isn't a money goal that will change our lives, and knowing the growth and happiness I've received every day, the relationships I've built, have already changed my life forever.
So I need to quit apologizing to myself and not feel guilty for these conflicting voices in my head, because honestly I think they work well together. I'm going to keep setting and focusing on the crazy goals and picture perfect vision I'm striving for, I might feel like there is always more I need to do and go to bed not thinking I got enough done, but I am also loving almost every second of my life and very aware of the fact that the NOW is the most beautiful place to be.

QUEBEC — The struggling Parti Quebecois has suffered another setback with a decision by the Speaker relegating it to fourth place in the provincial legislature.
Francois Paradis ruled today that the departure of Catherine Fournier, who last week quit the PQ to sit as an Independent, means the party is now officially the third opposition party behind the Liberals and Quebec solidaire.
For the first time since its creation in 1968, the PQ is no longer the leading sovereigntist party in the national assembly, eclipsed by the 13-year-old Quebec solidaire.
Fournier said she had lost faith in the PQ's ability to achieve independence. Her departure left the PQ with nine seats compared with 10 for Quebec solidaire. The Liberals have 29.
The PQ had argued it should maintain its status as the second opposition party because that was what had been decided in an all-party agreement reached last November after the election won by the Coalition Avenir Quebec.
The reduced status means the PQ will have less speaking time in the legislature and will be moved to the back of the opposition benches.

"DD Review: Ryan Allen & His Extra Arms – Headacher."
Score: 2/10
If they ever make an Empire Records 2, they'll know just the loyal lawn-mower guitar-crankers to enlist to soundtrack it. New York's Ryan Allen & His Extra Arms produce the kind of defiantly conventional and non-creative pop-punk that fits like a glove into these prior hatched stories of "jock," "nerd," "hot chick," "Daria-type" etc. where of course at the end the whole gang unites for the purpose of "rocking." Wow, we've never heard that story before!
Well, on the off chance that you've, you know, HEARD RADIOHEAD IN YOUR LIFE, you might be a little sick of this shtick, or just piteous before that tired formula of rocking out like a Matthew Sweet on coke, which is basically what we have here. To his credit, Ryan Allen, formerly of band The Thunderbirds, does sound charmingly like Dave Coutts of Talk Show (Stone Temple Pilots minus Scott Weiland in yes our beloved 1990s) and like he does know his way around a brief string-bending guitar solo, provided all the notes reside in the same octave as each other. The vocals on this album can be sort of good until Allen insists on throwing some cheesy inflection in there showing his insistence on being a pop showman. At one point he tells us "We got so high", where it just undeniably aped Kurt Cobain's same declaration on "On a Plain," and in general, this music is a lot like Dinosaur Jr. Like really, really, really, really, really a lot like Dinosaur Jr. It's like if Guitar Hero climbed out of your TV and started a band, basically. By track three I was, quite obviously, craving some creative instrumentation, when unfortunately I got it in the form of these just pathetic-sounding programmed strings which grate onto the canvas like an imp at a house party, more or less.
Look, if Lower Dens have taught us anything, other than how to smoke weed and listen to The Velvet Underground & Nico 1,000 times, it's that you can MAKE full and orchestral music with programmed drums. Far more important, I think, than being some type of garage rock noble savage, which seems to be chic these days in the Big Apple, the Extra Arms in tandem with local cohorts like Mike Pace and the Child Actors, is actually giving your music TEXTURE and DRAW – rendering things so that at some point in the middle of the song, you think, this is music I want to listen to, this is music I want as a companion. Not everything has to be so NARRATIVE. I don't need to know about your personal life. You don't always have to be a GOOD PERSON. Nobody's perfect. But it can't be mechanical. When I listen to Jana Hunter and the gang on an album like Nootropics, every track is different from the others, each sidling up to the overall project with its own unique concoction of mood and feeling. Most importantly, it could never be summed up by Guitar Hero, not in a million years.

Elon women's basketball (8-17, 3-11 in CAA) fell to No. 3 Towson University (17-9, 11-4 in CAA) 59-50 in a back-and-forth physical matchup.
After their home loss to James Madison University on Friday, head coach Charlotte Smith said this game against Towson was going to be a battle of the boards and that the team needed to "commit to grit." Smith said this effort came in spurts.
"I'm sure I could go back and grade the film today, and I could find some segments where we were really gritty. I especially remember that in the first half," Smith said. "For us, the biggest thing is just locking in, focusing in for 40 minutes of execution on both ends of the floor."
From the start, the Phoenix came out aggressive, scoring in the paint through passing down low and strong drives from the top. This offensive attack was spearheaded by freshman guard Brie Perpignan who led the team in scoring for the third straight game with 14 points.
Defensively, the Phoenix carried their emotion. The team hustled down the court to stop Towson's fast-break offense and hustled after loose balls. Early in the first half, junior guard Lexi Mercer went crashing into the video boards on the sideline going after a loose ball. But this aggressive mentality on both sides also led to 16 total fouls in the first half.
The challenge for the Elon defense was matching the strength of Towson's forwards. This task came down to the sophomore forward duo of Anna Popovic and Emily Maupin, who contributed 13 total points and only four rebounds. The Tigers out-rebounded the Phoenix 43-33.
"They have some big players down low, and it was hard to box them out. That's been a struggle for us all year is boxing out and finishing the play," Maupin said.
The Maroon and Gold stood toe to toe with the Tigers in the first quarter by answering nearly every point Towson scored and limiting their runs. At the end of the quarter, the score was even at 12-12.
The back-and-forth nature of the first half was exemplified in the closing moments of the second quarter. A Towson block gave the Tigers possession with 1:24 remaining in the first half. As Towson brought the ball up the court, it was quickly stolen away by sophomore guard Ariel Colón and passed off to redshirt-freshman guard Ariana Nance for a fast-break layup. Towson would answer with a fast-break three-pointer.
Elon got the ball back with 33 seconds remaining. Perpignan brought the ball slowly up the court, winding down the clock for a last shot opportunity. She initiated her drive and passed the ball out to Colón, who immediately swung it out to Nance, who was waiting in the far corner. Nance, now isolated, faked a shot to get the defender jumping in the air, only to pull it down and drive further towards the basket. Nance again stopped and floated a shot over the top of an imposing Towson forward. The ball found nothing but the net as the time expired, cutting Towson's lead to just three points at the break.
These clutch points for Nance were just two of a 10-point performance that would match the career high for the redshirt freshman.
"It felt good, but it's not really a surprise. I knew I always had it in me, and [Smith] has a lot of faith in me. So I thought it's time to have faith in myself, and the results show," Nance said.
In the second half, the Tigers started to take over the ball game. With the game tied at 36 with four minutes left in the third quarter, the Tigers went on a 7-0 run to go into the fourth, and they would never relinquish the lead. After the game, Smith said that while the effort was present, more is needed to end the Phoenix's three-game losing streak.
"We just got to find a way. I can't say that it's good enough because it's not. The results show itself on the stats sheet, so we just have to find a way," Smith said.
The Phoenix hit the road next week to take on the University of Delaware (13-13, 8-6 in CAA) Friday, March 1, and Drexel University (20-5, 12-2 in CAA) Sunday, March 3.

With an increasing number of us buying laptops—coupled with more broadband connections—we've seen a spike in the number of multiple-PC households. It's quite common—especially in metros and A and B class cities across India—to find a PC plus a laptop or two (and even WiFi-enabled PDAs) in the average tech-savvy household. The need for networking them arises, however, and WiFi routers seem to be the popular choice. This is where the tech-savvyness ends, sadly, with more unsecured wireless networks popping up all the time. Here we'll walk you through some important aspects of setting up and managing your network.
If you have a broadband connection that requires an ADSL modem, you should consider buying an ADSL router. These have the modem inbuilt, and also act as a router for your network. If your ISP has already provided you with a modem, you'll only need the average WiFi router. We've found the Linksys WRH54G router to be the most popular buy, and it's what we've used as an example here. The slightly older Linksys WRT54G is also a very popular model; the only difference is in the looks, and the fact that the (newer) WRH54G has a Wizard page in the control panel to help you set things up easily at home. Routers from D-Link, NetGear and others are just as good—just the terminology and nomenclature of the settings we mention in the following will differ from what you find on your screen if you own a different brand of router.
Setting It Up Right
It's best to let your router share your Net connection, so that the laptops or other devices on the network can access the Internet even when the desktop PC (if you have one) is switched off. If you buy an ADSL router, you will find that your ISP's cable fits directly into it. If you already have a modem, and if you've bought a WiFi router, you'll see that it has LAN ports at the back. One of these ports will be called "Internet" or "WAN", and this is where you connect the LAN cable between your router and the modem.
Router Settings
All the routers available use a browser-based control panel, which you access by typing in a specific address into the address bar. The first time you hook up your router to your PC or laptop, you should use a LAN cable (usually bundled) and connect it to one of the router's LAN ports. Set the Local Area Network connection on your PC / laptop to obtain an IP automatically. To do this, go to Start > Settings > Network Connections. Rightclick on your LAN connection and select Properties. Under the "This connection uses the following items:" header, you should see Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Doubleclick this and make sure the Obtain an IP address automatically radio button is selected. Click OK and then, back in the LAN Properties box, make sure to check the Show icon in notification area when connected box at the bottom before clicking OK again. Usually, the documentation that accompanies the router will tell you what address to use to access the control panel, but if you've have lost the documentation, you can just wait for the LAN connection (between the router and the PC / laptop) to get running, and then, once you have been assigned an IP address, look at the details and note down the "Gateway" IP. You should see the LAN icon in the Taskbar when the connection is available; just doubleclick on it and select the Support tab. Here you will see values for IP, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway. Type the Gateway IP into your browser and you should get into the control panel. You might have to use "admin" as the username and a blank password if prompted. Your manual will have this information, but if you've lost it, look up the manufacturer's Web site.
The Basic Setup
If you're using the WRT54G router, the first screen you'll see is the Basic Setup configuration options. Here you specify details of your Internet connection and LAN and wireless settings. Other routers will have similar settings. Important settings to remember are: Internet Connection: Here you will be asked for the connection type (usually PPPoE for ADSL in India), and the username and password that your ISP should have provided you with. Enter them in the appropriate boxes. Network: Here you get to choose what IPs your LAN should use, and what IP the gateway should use. You should use private IP addresses here, such as 192.168.0.1, 192.168.100.1, 10.0.0.1, etc. Servers: You can set whether the router assigns IPs dynamically to clients that connect to it, and which address to start assigning from. In our example, the router is set to use DHCP, and starts assigning IPs from 192.168.100.100.
Security And Restrictions
Clicking on Security will give you two options— Firewall and VPN. All you should do is make sure that all the boxes under Firewall are checked. Leave the VPN settings the way they are. Under Access Restrictions, you can control who accesses what and when. You can define up to 10 access policies, which basically means you can make 10 rules here. Amongst other things, you can select a list of PCs, based on MAC addresses, IP addresses or IP ranges, and set times when they get access to the Internet, or times that they don't. All the settings are quite self-explanatory. You can also block services such as trace route, ping, SSH, IRC, etc., from the router itself, making doubly sure that no one can use a protocol you don't want them to. Apart from all this you can even block sites by typing in their addresses, or you can block sites based on keywords. Blocking sites with the word "download" is a good idea if you are on a limited bandwidth account and have others using the same router.

Ship Registration
The registration of ships under the Malta Flag is regulated by the Merchant Shipping Act (Chapter 234 of the Laws of Malta). This main act is supplemented by an ample set of subsidiary regulations which implement the various International Conventions and Instruments into Maltese Law. Furthermore Malta has concluded 48 double tax treaties and bilateral maritime agreements with maritime countries.
Ship registration in Malta is a clear-cut procedure and all types of ships, including vessels under construction and oil rigs, may be registered under the Malta flag. A vessel may be registered in the name of a Maltese individual, a Maltese company, an EU citizen, a foreign corporate body or under an entity which enjoys legal personality in terms of the law under which it has been constituted. Provided that in the last three instances the applicant company or foreign citizen would need to appoint a resident agent in Malta.
The appointment of resident agent in fact applies solely to an International Ship Owner who wishes to register his ship or yacht, under the Malta flag. The Resident Agent is appointed in writing by the International Owner, by filling up the Declaration of Appointment of Resident Agent.
On the other hand, an International Owner may also opt for the formation of a Maltese Ship Owning Company. For further details about the formation of a Maltese company click on the Company formation icon on our website.
It is important to point out that under Maltese Law no restrictions are made on the nationality of the Masters officers and the crew on board Maltese registered vessels provided that they are in possession of an STCW compliant Malta endorsement.
More importantly Malta offers competitive registration fees for the registration of ships and yachts, and viable incorporation costs for the registration of Maltese Ship Owning Companies
The Transport Malta, Merchant Shipping Directorate, which is the Malta authority responsible for the registration of ships and yachts offers a 24hour, seven days a week service in respect of urgent matters and provides the industry's stakeholders a most expedient and practical service.
Other noteworthy points to be mentioned are the following:
- Malta offers a complete tax exemption to owners, charterers and financiers of Maltese flagged vessels of 1,000 Net Registered Tonnage and over. This incentive may also be extended to ships under 1,000 NRT.
- There are no trading restrictions on vessels registered in Malta,
- No restrictions on the sale or transfer of shares of a company owning Maltese ships
- No restrictions on the sale and mortgaging of Maltese Ships

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – In this episode of The Dig, CBS2's Elle McLogan gets special access to the New York Public Library's main branch, the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building.
Flanked by a pair of lion statues named Patience and Fortitude, the building is an international destination for book-lovers and sightseers.
"About 12,000 people a day come into the library. We had over three million people last year," said Keith Glutting, manager of the Visitor Volunteer Program.
Even so, Glutting believes that the library is too often overlooked by locals.
"A lot of New Yorkers come in and say, 'Oh, I haven't been here in years,' or 'I've never been here.' [But] it's here for you," he said.
"This is a dynamic, working library. It's not a monument. It's not a museum."
WEB EXTRA: NYC Libraries With Amazing Children's Rooms
"When the building opened, it was the largest marble structure in the country," he said. "It took nine years to build."
"We have 92 libraries in the Bronx, Manhattan and Staten Island. Four of them are research libraries. [The main branch] is the humanities and social sciences library. At Lincoln Center, next to the Metropolitan Opera, you have the performing arts library. On 135th Street and Malcom X Boulevard, you have the Schomburg Center for Research and Black Culture . . . and then our Science, Industry and Business Library is on Madison and 34th Street."
WEB EXTRA: Best Historic Landmarks In New York City
Glutting explained that the Rose Main Reading Room contains 26,000 thousand books. Another four million are stored underground, beneath the adjacent Bryant Park.
"You just dig into the library, and you find your dreams. That's what the library's about."
To see the treasures of the library in person, take a free one-hour tour of the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building. Available on a first-come basis, tours begin at 11 AM and 2 PM on Monday through Saturdays at the reception desk in Astor Hall.
