James 2:1-13
- How important is it that we treat new people in our services with respect, honor, love and mercy?
- How important is it that we look beyond their outward appearance?
- What would happen if everyone who came felt love and were shown mercy, not judgment?
- How does my greeting others affect my own standing with God?
These are just some of the questions James 2:1-13 will answer. Be prepared to change how you act each Sunday. This lesson could cause our attendance and our ministry to the needy to explode in terms of numbers and impact.
The Prohibition of Favoritism/Prejudice
vv. 1-3—"My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don't show favoritism. 2] Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. 3] If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, 'Here's a good seat for you,' but say to the poor man, 'You stand there' or 'Sit on the floor by my feet,' 4] have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?"
The directive for all believers is, "No favoritism." It's a universal principle applying to all situations. Favoritism is a compound word originating from two words: "to receive" and "face, or countenance." Literally, to "receive by face" is to evaluate people on the basis of surface characteristics, to focus on the outward appearance and not inner qualities or the value of the person.
The Demonstration of Favoritism—v. 1-4.
In the Old Testament we see an example of favoritism in 1 Samuel 16, where Samuel is charged with anointing Israel's new king and goes to Jesse's household.
When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, "Surely the LORD's anointed stands here before the LORD." 7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." 8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, "The LORD has not chosen this one either." 9 Jesse then had Shammah pass by, but Samuel said, "Nor has the LORD chosen this one." 10 Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, "The LORD has not chosen these." 11 So he asked Jesse, "Are these all the sons you have?" "There is still the youngest," Jesse answered, "but he is tending the sheep." Samuel said, "Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives." 12 So he sent and had him brought in. He was ruddy, with a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the LORD said, "Rise and anoint him; he is the one." 13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power.
James gives a hypothetical illustration of favoritism here in chapter 2, v. 2—"Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in."
The reference to a "gold ring" literally refers to someone gold-fingered, suggesting a man with numerous rings and social significance walks through the doors. A poor man with shabby clothes (in contrast to the rich man's fine clothes) also comes into the church meeting. Those present have a choice of how they will respond to the guests/newcomers.
Special attention might be given to the rich: directed to a good seat (as the Pharisees expect in Matt. 23:6). This might have been the best seat in the synagogue (where Christians met before they were thrown out). It might have been in a house. (Most church meetings were.) It might have been a special meeting place.
Unfortunately, poor treatment could well be given to the poor. It might be standing room only, maybe seating on the floor (with no comfort or dignity).
The Problem of Favoritism is Defined
The definition is favoritism is expanded as we read further in chapter 2.
Favoritism violates belief in Jesus. v. 1—"My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don't show favoritism." The two don't go together. Our Lord judges the heart. In fact, His evaluation flies in the face of everything the world is looking for. We find out in 1 Cor. 1:26-31 what Jesus is like.
Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things--and the things that are not--to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God--that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."
What does that say to us?
- We must accept others as He does
- We must evaluate others as He does
- We must act towards others as He does
- We must value others as He does
Favoritism is also preferential treatment. v. 3a—"If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, 'Here's a good seat for you,'"
Favoritism is demeaning to another. v. 3b—"but say to the poor man, 'You stand there' or 'Sit on the floor by my feet,'" What does that say to the poor man?
Favoritism is discrimination. v. 4a—"have you not discriminated among yourselves" It can mean making distinctions, but more commonly it means to be divided, i.e., to have divided loyalty—James 1:6. James Adamson writes that it "indicates they're facing both ways... nominally to Christ, and actually to worldly snobbery."
Favoritism is judging with evil thoughts. v. 4b—"and become judges with evil thoughts?" What is the basis for judgment?
- outward appearances—e.g., looks, clothes
- worldly values
What are the evil thoughts? Here are some possibilities:
- Rich people seem more valuable/better
- Rich people are good for the church
- Rich people deserve the best
- Rich people make the church look good
The Definition Applied
- What's wrong with these judgments? They are evil.
- What's wrong with any judgment based on appearances or "stuff?" Most often, it is inaccurate.
- Who are the rich among us? We are the rich.
- What do the rich often act like? The following verses will tell us.
The Potential of the Poor Defined Further
v. 5—"Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?" This is very revealing, for it tells us what God sees. The poor look different in God's eyes than in the world's eyes—v. 5a. What does he see?
The poor are chosen to be rich in faith (v. 5). To discriminate against the poor, needy or infirmed is to ignore God's grace. To discriminate is to ignore God's choice. The rule is 1 Cor. 1:26-31 (see above)—He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things. The exceptions include Barnabas, Lydia, Philemon, Joseph of Arimathea—Mark 15:43-47, Caesar's household, Erastus (1 Cor. 1:26—"not many were influential; not many were of noble birth."
Not every rich person is doomed, nor is every poor person saved. To discriminate, however, is to ignore or devalue what God has chosen. How does that apply to us?
- If He embraces and lifts up others, how can I reject them?
- How can I exclude anyone from my home, table, friendship, love, or church when God has chosen them for Himself?
- Who has He chosen?
James did not spiritualize or idealize poverty, which does not guarantee either faith or final salvation. But James was pointing out something that is a challenge when ministering to the rich. The rich have a tendency to believe they have all they need, or know how to get what they need on this earth, so they wonder why they need Jesus.
The poor, in general, are much more likely to believe in a heaven—something better to come, in order to compensate for the present needs in this life. That's not always true, obviously, but in general it is more difficult for a rich man to come to faith than a poor man (see Matt. 19:16-29).
God never asks us/me who to include in the Body! He chooses the poor to inherit the kingdom. v. 5b—"Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?" He invests great worth in them and makes them rich in faith (in the realm of faith). He gives faith, however, only to those who love Him. "…the kingdom he promised those who love him?"
What does it mean to be rich in faith? What do I value most—to be rich in wealth, or to be rich in faith?
With all that potential, however, the poor are often insulted by believers. v. 6—"But you have insulted the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court?" To insult means to actively treat with disdain.
The Pattern of the Rich Described
vv. 6-7—"But you have insulted the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? 7] Are they not the ones who are slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong?"
The rich exploited these Christians and dragged them into court. They controlled the courts in James' day, and the poor received no justice. The rich also slandered others, including Jesus, bringing Him into dishonor by their speech and their actions. They took, but didn't often contribute. In society, the rich spent what they got; they weren't frugal or giving. They may, in fact, have preyed upon the weak
Things haven't changed much; the rich still act this way in many cases. Even in the church, only 20 percent of the rich give 80 percent. Eighty percent of the rich give only 20 percent of the need.
The obvious question is, why give honor or preference to those who might be hostile to Christianity? Why give attention to those who think they don't need Christ?
In case these Jewish Christians still didn't get it, James met them on their own ground. They had no New Testament as we know it, yet he appealed to them concerning their obedience to the law and to adopt the Christian attitude—the attitude of Christ.
The Prospects for Believers Who Discriminate
v. 8—"If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, 'Love your neighbor as yourself,' you are doing right."
Here are the options:
To keep the royal law found in Scripture.
Not all James' readers were showing favoritism. Many had discovered and were living the teachings of Jesus, who summed up the law toward others as: "Love your neighbor (love your wife) as yourself" (Matt. 22:34-40; John 15:12).
We are to love as we have been loved—John 15:12. We don't need a list of negatives/commands to live by, if we love others as ourselves. The royal law is positive, not negative—loving, not legalistic. It is relational and loving, not prejudicial or based on adherence to rules. If these Jewish Christians didn't follow the royal law, however, they would choose the alternative.
Sin—and be convicted as lawbreakers.
Sin is not loving our neighbor (our wife) as ourself. Why is that being a lawbreaker in this context? The principle is that if we stumble at one point, we are guilty of breaking all of it. This is for Jews who might obey one law and disobey or overlook another. Likewise, this is for a Christian who might obey most of the rules, but overlook love. Love sums up the whole law—Matt. 22:34-40.
In case they didn't get it, he used an illustration in v. 11—"For he who said, 'Do not commit adultery, also said, 'Do not murder.' If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker."
If we don't commit adultery/sexual sin, but we kill someone, we are still lawbreakers and obviously not loving our neighbor as ourself. If we don't commit adultery or murder, but show favoritism, we are not loving others as ourselves.
The Principle Applied to Believers
vv. 12-13—"Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, 13] because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!"
The Command: to speak and act the royal law—v. 12.
We are called both to speak (proclaim it) and act (obey it). James 1:22 and 25 say, "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 25] But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does." What law was he referring to? v. 8—"If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, 'Love your neighbor as yourself,' you are doing right."
What will this law do for us and others?
- Free from sin. vv. 9,11—"But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. 11] For he who said, 'Do not commit adultery,' also said, 'Do not murder.' If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker."
- Free others from discrimination, insults, favoritism. Why?
The Reason. v. 13
"…because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!"
Judgment without mercy will be shown to those who aren't merciful. If we show favoritism, we are denying mercy and will be judged without mercy. If we are merciful and loving to others, recognizing our poverty and sin, we will be shown mercy. Mercy trimphs over judgment, discrimination, and favoritism. It doesn't violate justice, because justice must be done, but God extends grace and mercy more than justice to the poor, the oppressed, to us. If we understand how unlovable and unattractive we are, how much we need the mercy of God, then we will offer His mercy to others. If we can't do that, then we don't understand the mercy of God in our lives and our own forgiveness.
What did this message reveal about you? Do you judge and discriminate, looking at outward appearances?
- How people look
- How much they have
- What status they have
- How many rules or commands they obey
- Are you judging others in your family a lot?
- Do you only love and greet people like yourself?
Or do you show mercy?
- Do you open your heart to others if they are different?
- Are you a channel of love, valuing what God does in people?
- Do you look out for others, welcoming them to our meeting and giving them the best seat and loving attention?
- What would happen to Hillcrest if everyone coming to this meeting felt loved, accepted and was shown great mercy?
- How big a meeting room would it take to house people who were loved and accepted that way?

I had a week off for walking at the end of June, and I had another one of those personal milestones in my sights, the halfway mark of the Munros, i.e. my personal No. 141. Having done Cairn Gorm and Beinn Mheadhoin via the Shelter Stone Crag on Saturday 24th June, and then the fairly tough round of three (by my standards anyway ) in Glendessary on the Monday 26th June, I was ideally looking for something a tad less strenuous on the Wednesday to inch me over the halfway mark... However, having reached Number 100 on the somewhat uninspiring Carn Sgulain in the Monadhliadh, I also thought it might be nice to choose a hill with some aspirations to pointiness for Number 141 . I'd stayed over with friends near Elgin on the Tuesday night, and after some perusal of the map, I went for the Glen Feshie duo of Sgor Gaoith and Mullach Clach a Bhlair. By all accounts Sgor Gaoith was a shapely peak, and with luck I might even get some views ...
It's not too far a drive from Elgin to Achlean in Glen Feshie, so I didn't even need that early a start. As I set off from the big car park at the end of the public road, the higher peaks still had their heads in the Clag, but it was dry and the forecast was looking promising . It wasn't far at all down the continuing track from the car park to the point where a good path branches off left to the north off the Allt Fhearnagain, to eventually reach the Cairngorms plateau near Sgor Gaoith's southern Top, Carn Ban Mor. Even by my navigational standards it would have been hard to get lost, given the presence of a big boulder with 'Carn Ban Mor' carved on it at the start of the path !
The path is good at the start, and soon gets even better - it was a real pleasure to walk, and after the bogfest of Glendessary just a couple of days earlier, this really felt like a totally different country... it still never fails to surprise me just how much drier the Cairngorms are compared with the West Coast hills.
A bit higher up and some breaks were starting to appear in the cloud, with Carn Ban Mor looming somewhere up there on the right.
There was a fine view back down west into Glen Feshie, which is definitely one of the most scenic of the Cairngorms glens.
The remarkably well-engineered path made for almost embarrassingly easy height gain, and before long I reached the sizeable cairn where the path reaches the plateau, with side paths radiating off in all directions like the spokes of a wheel.
The side path for Carn Ban Mor looked as though it was the one that took a relatively sharp left, so I headed off up that one, and sure enough, Carn Ban Mor's big windshelter cairn soon came looming out of the Clag ahead.
To my delight, the Clag really started to break up just as I headed off north from Carn Ban Mor towards Sgor Gaoith, and I got a sudden and rather unexpected view of Braeriach looming massively to the east across Gleann Einich .
Five minutes later, Sgor Gaoith itself had emerged out of the Clag, and was looking enticingly pointy to the north .
Within another five minutes, however, the Clag had rallied and was fighting back, and for a while it was looking touch and go whether I'd get to the summit in time for a view ...
Just as I was on the final approach, however, the Clag relented and suddenly shuffled off to the south, to reveal the famous view down to Loch Einich far, far below, with Braeriach and its sister peaks looming across the loch . I really didn't deserve such luck, but I wasn't complaining!
More views:
So, halfway round the Munros at last, although I'd have to admit that it has very much been the Easy Half ! All the same, I felt that the occasion did call for a Summit Selfie... Just humour me.
Enough of the photography, already... since I was in the vicinity anyway, I thought I might as well try to get Mullach Clach a'Bhlair bagged as well. I headed off the way I'd come up, back down to Carn Ban Mor, and on to the cairn to its south with paths in all directions. I took a bit of a long road for a short cut at this point, continuing on the main path which takes a bit of a detour east into the western fringes of the Moine Mhor, where I could have taken the fainter path just to the right which heads more directly towards the Mullach. However, the Clag had come back down with a vengeance by now, and I thought that the more established path might be the safer option. Eventually it joined a track at another cairn. A left turn here would be the standard route to those two more remote Munros of the Moine Mhor, Monadh Mhor and Beinn Bhrotain: however, I took the right turn instead, to head back southwest towards Mullach Clach a'Bhlair. First, however, I stopped to eat my sandwiches. There wasn't much of a view !
The ongoing track soon became a bit of a six-lane Autobahn, and I made more rapid progress towards the Mullach than I'd expected...
The track makes a dog-leg round a wee stream and soon afterwards meets another big track that comes up the south side of Coire Garbhlach, which I was hoping to use as my descent route. Not much further on, a cairn marks the start of the side-path off the the right which makes the final ascent up to Mullach Clach a'Bhlair's summit.
My luck was really in today: the Clag had completely lifted again at this point, and I got some grand views from this summit too . Looking back north to Sgor Gaoith, with Braeriach et al over to the northeast:
...And a slightly zoomed shot of Braeriach, with the contrasting summits of pointy Sgor an Lochan Uaine and oddly trapezoidal Cairn Toul over to its right:
Hopefully this wasn't the end of the scenery, however: by all accounts, the descent track from the Mullach should yield some fine views of the impressive Coire Garbhlach. I headed off downhill, and sure enough, Coire Garbhlach started to emerge ahead...
I took a bit of a short cut to the right of the track along the edge of the corry rim to get better views:
It was now a very straightforward stoat down the track into upper Glen Feshie. At this point, there is a choice: you can either cross a reconstructed bridge over the River Feshie to take the private road back north on the west bank of the river, or take the slightly rougher but more scenic path through some lovely ancient pinewoods on the east bank of the river to get slightly more directly back to Achlean. I took the east bank option through the pinewoods.
The path was well-maintained on the whole, although there was an interesting wee section where it has to make a dog-leg to the right because the original riverside path has been washed away by recent heavy floods. Further on, where the path crosses the Allt Garbhlach on stepping stones, the start of the continuing section has been completely washed away by the same floods, so it is now necessary to scramble up the north bank of the Allt to re-join the path. Quite good fun, actually .
From here on, it was a straightforward schlep northwards back to the car park at Achlean.
Well, to be honest I'd never really expected to get halfway round the Munros when I started doing them in a rather desultory manner about seven years ago, and I still make no promises (to myself or anyone else) of ever Compleating: I can't say that the In Pinn is looking any less terrifying ... However, am I intending to keep going and just maybe give it a shot one day? You bet .
Share your personal walking route experiences in Scotland, and comment on other peoples' reports.
Warning Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.

This paper considers the meaning of union effectiveness and identifies features of union structure and behaviour that are correlated with employee perceptions of union effectiveness in delivering improved work and working conditions. There are strong links between unions' organisational effectiveness and employee perceptions of whether they are effective in achieving fair pay, promoting equal opportunities, protecting workers, making work interesting and enjoyable, and working with management to increase quality and productivity.

Do you listen to the radio while you work? Have you ever been writing or editing a document while the radio is on and noticed that a word is spoken just as you type it in your document? I've noticed this over the years and it's happened enough that I'm fascinated why it occurs.
Combining background music or radio with writing or editing is a controversial and very personal subject. We all have a different view on its usefulness (or helpfulness) of background music or radio. Most of the time I'm creating new copy or editing, the most demanding thing I'll listen to is Classic FM or Classic Radio Suisse. Often, I'll even switch everything off and work in silence – it depends on the job. I usually reserve spoken-word radio for less demanding writing or editing because it can be distracting. But over the years I've noticed that I surprisingly frequently type or edit a word just as the same word is mentioned in a radio programme or podcast. Why is this?
So far, I haven't been able to find references to this happening elsewhere on the Internet – maybe I simply haven't been trying hard enough. I'd be interested to hear whether you've noticed this phenomenon or are aware of anything else that's been written about it. If so, please tell me about it with a comment.

LOVE it!!!
This product is wonderful & smells great
This product is wonderful & smells great
I bought a sample size of the oil, the leave in, and the styling butter just to test them out before buying them and Good Lord Jesus they are amazing!!!
I love everything about the three products I ordered, the smell is like cake batter, the texture of the butter is almost like a whipped cream, the leave in is light and runny but gives you so much moisture and slip!
I didn't order the shampoo or conditioner only because I have a million..things of conditioner and shampoo but I am going on a trip over seas soon so I may order a 2oz bottle just for that.
Over all I think these products are absolutely exceptional I have 3B-3C hair and in the winter I get dry scalp a lot and the oil helps so well with that I love oils!!! I hope that they continue to make new products a long the way but I really love the simplicity of the products as well cause I am very low maintenance with my hair routine, skin routine, and makeup routine.
I love the Moisture Love Product Line. By using all the products together my curls definitely have Moisture; as my curl are well defined and soft. And on top of that the smell is amazing!

1. Anger
When you do not get what you want, you can unconsciously cause a sense of anger in you in order to force another person to submit to you. So, anger helps you take control of the situation. Anger helps take the upper hand in the dispute, or take revenge for your failures. Anger can also be used to protect your rights. Anger helps us give the enemy to understand that he must retreat. Anger with yourself can be a way to force yourself to do something, get down to a task. Continue reading

OpenVPN & Default gateway not acting as expected, traffic ONLY routes via VPN
Hello Everyone,
I am running 2.1.5 Release of PFsense and have configured OpenVPN with a PIA account. The OpenVPN connection seems to be working correctly, I am getting an IP address however it seems all traffic goes out only the OpenVPN interface. Here is the breakdown:
1. Two subnets, LAN: 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.100.0/24
2. Default gateway should be NONE vpn connection for MOST traffic unless specified
3. 3 IP addresses on 192.168.1.0/24 should go out to the internet via the OPENVPN gateway
4. 192.168.1.0/24 can access the 192.168.100.0/24 subnet
5. 192.168.100.0/24 can only access 6 IPs on the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet
Here are the configurations:
Firewall -> Alias:
MediaService- IP: 192.168.1.220,192.168.1.221,192.168.1.222,192.168.1.223,192.168.1.224,192.168.1.225,192.168.1.226
VPN_Gateway: 192.168.1.223,192.168.1.220,192.168.1.225
System -> Gateways:
OpenVPN_VPN4- Interface: OPENVPN
WAN_DHCP -Interface: WAN (Set as default)
Firewall -> Rules:
Interface LAN (192.168.1.0/24 subnet)
IPv4 LAN NET * * * * NONE
Interface OPT1(192.168.100.1/24 subnet)
IPv4 * * * * * none
Interface OPENVPN (openvpn interface for PIA)
Firewall -> NAT -> Outbound
WAN 192.168.1.0/24 * * 500 WAN address * YES
OPENVPN 192.168.1.0/24 * * 500 OPENVPN address * NO
WAN 192.168.1.0/24 * * * WAN address * NO
OPENVPN 192.168.1.0/24 * * * OpenVPN address * NO
WAN 192.168.100.0/24 * * 500 WAN address * YES
OPENVPN 192.168.100.0/24 * * 500 OPENVPN address * NO
WAN 192.168.100.0/24 * * * WAN address * NO
OPENVPN 192.168.100.0/24 * * * OpenVPN address * NO
Here is the problem I am experiancing, if I am on my machine on 192.168.1.20, and I disable all firewall rules on the LAN subnet, and only enable a rule with all "*" ie, * * * * * * *, and not setting a subnet (leaving that setting untouched), going to a website on the internet will show that my IP address is that of the VPN, my understanding however is that this should not be the case. Should I not have still be using my default address unless specifically set in the gateway?
I have also tried to explicitly put alias: MediaService using a firewall rule with a gateway of OPENVPN and a * * * * * under it WITHOUT a gateway set, but even traffic outside of this alias still seems to be going to the VPN.
I then tried to set 2 firewall rule, alias: MediaService * * * * OpenVPN gateway and 192.168.100.55 * * * * WAN gateway. In this case, MediaService is going out to the internet on the openvpn and 192.168.1.55 is going to the internet on my regular IP, but they cannot communicate to each other at all. I am assuming because 192.168.100.55 is on a different subnet and it does not get to the next rule allowing it on the other subnet? Does anyone have any ideas how to make this work, please let me know if you need more information.
Check PIA server logs, they are sure pulling "redirect-gateway def1" so all your lan traffic will be routed to VPN. In order to avoid it you must use "route-nopull" in your client custom options. In this way you will get control of your route policy.
Wow.. thank you! What is even the benefit of that having to be an option instead of a default? Side question, am I under the correct understanding that it obviously does not matter the gateway of my clients, internally (even across subnets) they should be still able to communicate as they are obviously not even reaching that gateway?
Lastly, I am not sure if this matters but 192.168.100.0/24 is a wireless network connected to a wireless router on its own interface off the pfsense box. That router is configured as a straight access point.. I was attempting to diagnose this issue and my firewall seems to think any website/traffic going TO and FROM my wireless network is to/from 18.104.22.168 IGMP traffic. I understand the basic idea of a multicast address, but why is this traffic being treated this way? Does this have anything to do with my internal traffic not acting as expected?
One thing worth to note, there are other sections of my network not mentioned as I did not think they were relevant, I am using VLANs but not on any of the mentioned subnets. The reason I believe the multicast has something to do with the issue is due to the following setup, btw I have changed the Openvpn configured you mentioned and without setting a gateway on the interface it is now using my internet (partial success!)
I set the following rules: (alias VPN_GATWAY: 192.168.1.220 & 192.168.1.225)
192.168.100.0/24 * * * * none
VPN_GATEWAY * LAN NET * * none
VPN_GATEWAY * * * OPENVPN none
LAN NET * * * * none
OPT1 net * * * * none
LAN NET * * * * none
OPENVPN (vpn interface)
VPN_GATEWAY * * * OpenVPN
192.168.1.0/24 can access the internet not on VPN (vpn for VPN_GATEWAY alias), 192.168.100.0/24 can access the internet none vpn as desired. 192.168.100.0/24 can access all clients on the 192.168.1.0/24 network EXCEPT the ones in VPN_GATEWAY (the ones that are using the VPN for internet). Is it because 192.168.100.0/24 is because a wireless access point thus using the multicast addressing?
I don't undestand your network.
But you should set Outbound NAT:
VPN_WAN Alias_1 * * * VPN_WAN address * NO VPN -> VPN_WAN
WAN Alias_2 * * * WAN address * NO LAN to WAN
Where Alias_1 are those clients you want to go to VPN.
Firewall rule on relevat interfces TAB
IPv4 * Alias_1 * * * VPN_WAN_GW none
This rule impose Alias_1 to use VPN_WAN_GW (your VPN provider gateway).
Normally after authentication, your VPN provider assigns 2 IPs as end-start points of the tunnel, you have the start point and your gateway is the end point on the server of your provider.

Thank you for taking the time to respond! Sorry about not getting back to you earlier. I drew a crude diagram of my network (by hand sorry!) here: http://imgur.com/o19Z0XC
I have excluded a few parts just to simply for now. I would like only two IPs, 192.168.1.220 & 192.168.1.225 to access the internet though the VPN connection, while all other clients to use the regular wan. However, I would like all clients from both 192.168.100.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 to access those two clients locally. I checked the link you sent and my VPN configuration is identical to what you linked only I have added the additional binding setting you recommended earlier. My problem is that clients using the VPN cannot communicate to none VPN clients and vise versa, I apologize but I do not completely understand what you meant in the last post regarding start/end point of the tunnel, it seems that PIA is assigning (or it auto assigns) a single IP in the 10.X range…
Let me know if more information is needed, thank you!
Ok, it should be easy.
Create Alias_VPN inserting 192.168.1.220 & 192.168.1.225.
Create Alias_LAN with 192.168.100.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24
I assume you have used the "route-nopull" option, you have 2 Gateway, 1 for clear net and 1 other for the VPN tunnel.
I should start with Manual Outbound NAT with 2 simple rule:
VPN_WAN Alias_VPN * * * VPN_WAN address * NO
WAN Alias_LAN * * * WAN address * NO
Then you should build the firewall rules, the order is important, the rules are processed in top-down order, the first which meets all conditions is applied.
Firewall rule on interfce 192.168.1.0/24 TAB
PASS –- IPv4 * Alias_VPN * * * VPN_WAN_GW none //IPs in Alias_VPN will use gateway VPN_WAN_GW (or whatever you named)//
PASS --- IPv4 * Alias_LAN * * * * none //IPs in Alias_LAN are allowed and will use default gateway, this rule should allow communication between clients on different subnets)
Firewall rule on interface 192.168.100.0/24 TAB
PASS --- IPv4 * Alias_VPN * * * VPN_WAN_GW none //IPs in Alias_VPN will use gateway VPN_WAN_GW (or whatever you named)//
PASS --- IPv4 * Alias_LAN * * * * none //IPs in Alias_LAN are allowed and will use default gateway, this rule should allow communication between clients on different subnets)
Let me know if works.

The Old Khotanese Metanalysis
MetadataShow full item record
CitationHitch, Douglas A. 2016. The Old Khotanese Metanalysis. Doctoral dissertation, Harvard University, Graduate School of Arts & Sciences.
AbstractA range of present stems in Khotanese which historically ended in a consonant behave synchronically as vowel final stems. Forms like bvāre 'they know' or bvāne 'may I know' imply a synchronic stem bu-, but most scholars have preferred a shape bud- because the Proto-Iranian antecedent is *baud-. A metanalysis resolves the apparent contradiction between diachrony and synchrony.
Sometime in pre-Khotanese there was a morphophonological reanalysis wherein some consonant final verb stems were reinterpreted as being vowel final, and a series of suffixes historically beginning with single *-t- were reinterpreted as beginning with double /tt/. A word like 3Sp.m butte 'he knows' was originally analyzed as *bud- + -te and later reanalyzed as bu- + -tte /βuttē/. The vowel stems resulting from the metanalysis behave no differently from other vowel stems. All forms arising from the addition of vowel initial suffixes show contractions which are either attested elsewhere in the grammar or are phonologically natural. They show no trace of a final consonant on the synchronic level. Properly identifying the synchronic forms of the affected stems and suffixes enables a more regular and systematic description of the attested forms. It permits a reduction from Emmerick's four present stem types, A, B, C, D, to just two, A and B.

chicken chasseur
January 2, 2012 Leave a comment
A modern twist on an old French classic. At ely, we serve this with creamy mashed potato.
chicken chasseur
with morel mushrooms
What you need
100g dried morels
medium carrot, diced
2 banana shallots, or 4 ordinary ballots, diced
1 stick celery, diced
100g butter
2 sprigs thyme
4 bay leaves
150ml red wine
300ml roast bone stock, or good quality, ready-made chicken stock
1 organic, corn-fed chicken, quartered
100ml cream
rock salt, black pepper
good bunch tarragon
2 spring onions, finely chopped, to garnish
Serves 4
What to do
Start by soaking the morels in boiling water until thoroughly wet and soft to the touch.
In a large pot (big enough to hold the chicken), sauté the carrot, shallots and celery in half the butter until al dente. Add the thyme and bay leaves and then a splash of red wine. Strain the morels, roughly chop and add to the saucepan with the vegetables. Add the stock and reduce to a simmer.
Heat a frying pan and fry the chicken pieces in the remaining 50g of butter until golden brown on both sides – this will add flavour to the dish. Place the chicken pieces in the simmering liquid.
Add the cream and reduce by one-quarter. Season to taste. Chop the tarragon leaves and add at the last minute – this ensures that you don't blacken the herb with too much heat and also brings out its full flavour.
Serve in a bowl, on a bed of mashed potato, scattered with the spring onions.
A wine that works
A light merlot-based wine will bring out the flavour of the mushrooms. Chateau Calon from Montagne, Saint-Emilion, has dark fruit, ripe, rounded tannins and a decent finish.
Also try
Le Volte from Omellaia in Bolgheri, Tuscany.
This recipe is taken from the ely Cookbook – available for purchase for €20 online.

EFSA's BIOHAZ panel has, on several occasions, been asked by the European Commission to provide opinions on the possible and appropriate use of microbiological criteria. The BIOHAZ Panel identified the difficulties in providing scientific advice on the use of microbiological criteria while new concepts in this area are being elaborated and when the scope is not completely defined. As a consequence, the BIOHAZ Panel has undertaken this self-tasking issue and prepared a draft opinion on microbiological testing, criteria and other objectives.
The present document aims i) to clarify the links between and possible uses of the concepts Appropriate Level of Protection (ALOP), Food Safety Objective (FSO), Performance Objective (PO), Performance Criteria (PC) and microbiological criteria in relation to opinions on biological hazards and ii) to identify circumstances where the use of microbiological criteria as a tool for defining the acceptance of an end product might be appropriate and likely to improve consumer protection.
EFSA and the ΒΙΟΗΑΖ Panel decided to consult interested parties before the final adoption of this document. The outcome of this consultation will be taken into account during the final adoption of this opinion by EFSA's BIOHAZ Panel.
See below the Draft Opinion on microbiological testing, criteria and other objectives.

The following article is something that we were not even aware of until tonight. It came to light and made the news while we were on our trip. Maybe some of you already had heard about it. We were told by a reliable source that the VA office in Detroit is also under fire.
You can do a search of VA shredder scandal and find a lot more info than I have copied here.
October 25, 2008, Tampa, FL - A review this week of 57 regional offices of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has turned up nearly 500 benefit claim records that were set to be destroyed, agency officials said Friday.
The VA is now recommending that veterans - those who have not been contacted for six months or more about their claims for benefits - call their regional benefits office "to make sure the claim has been received, and everything is there," said Alison Aikele, the VA's press secretary in Washington, D.C.
The documents that were found in bins of paper waiting to be put through a paper shredder included veteran applications and change requests for benefits, which are needed to properly process an individual's claim.
The department is keeping in place an agency-wide ban on shredding while investigators from the VA's Office of Inspector General complete an audit of the St. Petersburg regional office. Staff there found eight documents in a shred bin last week that should not have been put there.
Investigators also have been asked to review allegations at two other regional offices that staff intentionally tried to destroy documents.
More than half of the 498 veterans' documents found in shred bins came from regional offices in St. Louis, Cleveland and Columbia, S.C. Both Columbia and St. Louis have placed one employee each on administrative leave pending the probe.
"There is a suspicion ... that those documents may have been mishandled intentionally," Aikele said.
As of Wednesday, only 18 benefits records had been found misplaced in shred bins at four offices. That number ballooned as each regional office stopped shredding and employees began going piece-by-piece through paper bins.
"We didn't really know what to expect," Aikele said.
The St. Petersburg regional office is the hub for all benefits claims for Florida's 1.8 million veterans. It had already been originally scheduled for a routine audit of mailroom operations prior to the Inspector General's discovery last week of misplaced documents in Detroit, St. Louis and Waco, Texas.
The question now facing the VA is how to determine how long such documents may have been placed in shred bins and how many documents might have been destroyed.
"We just don't know," Aikele said. "We don't have an idea how far back it could go."

Orgeron: 'Most of his team' has contracted virus
- Covers the SEC.
- Joined ESPN in 2012.
- Graduate of Auburn University.
LSU coach Ed Orgeron said on Tuesday that most of his team has contracted COVID-19.
"Not all of our players but most of our players have caught it," Orgeron told reporters. "I think that hopefully they won't catch it again, and hopefully they're not out for games."
Asked later for further clarification, Orgeron said he didn't know the exact percentage of players who have had the coronavirus.
"Hopefully that once you catch, you don't get it again," he said."I'm not a doctor. I think they have that 90-day window, so most of the players that have caught it, we do feel like they'll be eligible for games."
Per SEC protocols, players who have contracted COVID-19 don't have to be tested again for 90 days.
LSU, like many programs in the SEC and nationally, has not provided regular reports on the number of players who have contracted the novel coronavirus.
Two weeks ago, Orgeron said all but 2-3 offensive lineman missed practice because of testing.
"You have to make adjustments," he said.
Orgeron's comments come on the heels of Texas Tech self-reporting five more cases of COVID-19 on Monday, bringing the team's total number of positive cases to 75 since players returned to campus in June.
Orgeron also reported that reserve DL Nelson Jenkins has opted out and is not with the football team, adding that it's been at least two weeks since coach and player have spoken.
Another defensive lineman, Neil Farrell Jr., opted back into the season this week, and Orgeron said he's been hearing rumblings that defensive tackle Tyler Shelvin might be considering a return as well.
Shelvin, a possible first-round pick, opted out last month.
"We'd take him back and we want him back," Orgeron said. "If he doesn't come back then we wish him the best. If not, like any member of our family, we'll take him back."
LSU, which also lost wideout Ja'Marr Chase and defensive back Kary Vincent to opt outs, opens the season at home against Mississippi State on Sept. 26.
