Does this guy post anything other than rumors ?
Lies,... LiEs..., LIES!!!
Until I see a TV commercial from Tmobile or on display at their stores then I ain't buying it!!!
i don't think so....
i spoke to a tmobile rep and she told me that Tmobile will not be getting the iphone and in fact verizon "GOT IT"..... and anyway who wants to buy an 3gs now anyway?
Wait.. The iPhone 3G, 3GS, and iPhone 4 are all already on T-Mobile. =P
of course another rumor is posted, what else would they post?
Those reps don't know ****.
Highly doubt it. Using a 3G phone on Edge doesnt motivate me to get it.
man you need to stop, you are killing us hahahahaha.
Chris Anderson, the editor in chief or Wired has sparked a flurry of articles and blogs about the prospect of T-Mobile carrying the iPhone in the very near future. While we've heard these rumors (and others) for what now seems like an eternity, the Wired boss-man says he was told that T-Mobile will get the iPhone 3GS later this year. That's right... the iPhone 3GS. Not the iPhone 4.
"A T-Mobile manager casually mentioned to me that they're going to get the iPhone 3GS (but not 4, oddly) later this year," Anderson posted on Twitter. As rumor-killers are quick to point out, however, it should be noted that Anderson shared this "insider information" on a social networking site... not inside Wired magazine. Still, many industry analysts believe that, from Apple's perspective, a deal with T-Mobile is far more likely in the near future than one with Verizon.
Ironically, as we reported last week, Germany's Deutsche Telekom (which just so happens to own T-Mobile U.S.) is on the cusp of losing iPhone exclusivity in Germany ahead of the holiday shopping season. This eventuality would bring the grand total of providers that cover the popular smartphone in Germany to three.
There's been rumors of this and that for years now, when are any of these rumors going to be proven or disproven?
Well T-Mobile is already distributing iPhones here in the UK so I don't see why this shouldn't happen in the US.
Tmobile supervisor in technical support 3rd tier said their techs have recieved their iPhone 3GS trouble shoot manuals and are scheduled for national conference late fall for support... I dunnnnnoooo
That guy probably said that just to gain publicity. T-mobile is not getting anything anything at the end of the year. The 3GS is still incompatible with t-mobile's 3g and they def won't them a special model. Not for such a small network. Next false rumor please....
If true, this could be awesome news for iPhones fans, 3g speed with T-Mo is a win win, besides the dollar savings.
The biggest reason is hardware differences.
They use a different GSM network than here in the US.
Messany please stop with the rumor crap.
And why a 3GS no reason for selling an old model. Yes it will still sell but Apple won't offer an old device to a new user group.

The Race Officials Committee presented five options for the Events Committee
to consider for fleet and medal racing at the 2012 Olympics:
1) Moving the gate to windward, closer to the windward mark;
2) Up to 4 laps (rather than dramatic reduction in target times);
3) Windward finishes;
4) During Medal Races, a starboard rounding of the final windward mark with a reaching finish; and
5) During Medal Races, a single leeward mark.
Option 1 isn't new. ISAF have been doing this for several years, including the Test Event.
Option 2 isn't new. ISAF have been doing this when the course area is constrained. We did this at the Test Event. We heard loud and clear from athletes and coaches that they'd prefer more laps, instead of shorter times with 2 laps. The course areas in Perth and Weymouth are constrained. We cannot provide the desired race times without considering up to 4 laps in heavy air.
Option 3 might make sense in Perth for a morning Medal Race in a stable easterly. There is really no other practical alternative for involving the public in Perth in an easterly breeze. The final decision is up to the ISAF Technical Delegate.
Options 4 and 5 are new. Option 4 is specific to Weymouth. Option 5 might be worth considering for Perth. The Race Committee will follow the Technical Delegate's direction on this point.

The dark winter months can get you down - but young designer Daniel Rybakken has come up with an intelligent solution with this series of projects that aim to generate their own sunbeams.
The underlying concept beind 'The Subconscious Effect of Daylight, and 'Surface Daylight' is actually a fairly simple concept, executed absolutely flawlessly.
It explores the ways that the positive effect of sunshine streaming into a room can be recreated artificially if no natural light is present. Sunshine in a room gives the feeling of extended space; remove natural daylight and perceived room size tends to decrease, often resulting in the knock-on effects of claustrophobia and even social isolation.
Instead of projecting light onto a surface, Rybakken built 'sunlight' into objects via LED's placed either inside or behind.
Still at prototype stage, this concept has already scooped a significant number of awards - including the Rolf Asard Foundation Award, a Red Dot Award, a Nordic Selected Award and a Design Report Award at the Salone del Mobile in Milan earlier this year.
We'd love to see these go into production...

BUCHAREST, April 10 (Reuters) - Romania's annual inflation slowed to 5.3 percent year-on-year in March from February's 5.7 percent, below market expectations, data from the National Statistics Board showed on Wednesday.
A Reuters poll of 15 analysts expected inflation at 5.5 percent year-on-year in March.
Consumer prices were flat on the month. Food and non-food prices were down 0.1 percent each, while services rose 0.5 percent from January.
The central bank forecasts December inflation at 3.5 percent.

Oceanic Geo 2.0 Air/Nitrox Computer Watch
The GEO 2.0 has an upgraded look with a stainless steel accent ring and new color combination and now includes Dual Algorithm, Deep Stop option and a redesigned user interface with "Step Back" which allows forward and backward navigation through menus and settings. Additionally, a second Nitrox mix (both programmable to 100\%) is available, as well as Firmware Auto-Update which allows the user to download and install operational improvements or even future new features through the PC Interface (with optional cable). A unique combination of quality, function and style, the GEO 2.0 PDC is perfect on its own or as a backup to any dive computer. With Dual Algorithm and optional conservative factor settings, the GEO 2.0 may be programmed to provide no-deco and deco profiles similar to virtually every computer on the market.
Oceanic�s new GEO 2.0 offers Dual Algorithm� technology, letting you choose the decompression algorithm that best suits your diving needs without compromising safety.
Choose Pelagic DSAT for:Liberal Recreational Diving The Pelagic DSAT Algorithm safely maximizes dive time for repetitive, multi-level recreational diving. This algorithm relies on the human Doppler studies used to develop PADI�s Recreational Dive Planner (RDP), and has been the basis of Oceanic's and other manufacturer's computer algorithms for many years.To add additional conservatism, you can also adjust the:
Choose Pelagic Z+ for:Conservative Recreational Diving When applied to standard recreational diving, the Pelagic Z+ Algorithm basis increases the conservative factor of the GEO 2.0 by 15-20%.
Liberal Repetitive Deep and Decompression Diving The Pelagic Z+ uses the Buhlmann ZHL-16C database, which was conducted to meet the more rigorous demands of repetitive, cold-water decompression diving at altitude. The Pelagic Z+ mode maximizes dive times at depth without penalties.
Dive in sync with any buddy, anywhereBecause the GEO allows you to adjust the algorithm basis and its conservatism, you can adjust to closely match just about any other dive computer on the market, allowing you and any buddy to always dive in sync. Diving the same profile increases safety for both divers, and eliminates the need for one person to conduct a much longer or deeper stop when buddying with someone wearing a more liberal dive computer. On repetitive dives, there is no more waiting for the more conservative dive computer to clear. Both buddies will be ready to enter the water at the same time and can continue to dive the same profiles. You can�t control which dive computer your buddy wears, but you can control your ability to dive the same profile.
A note about deep stops:Both algorithms allow (user ON/OFF option) credit for deep stops for No-Decompression dives in keeping with the data of Morroni et al (2004) and Bennett et al (2007). No penalty is given if the diver skips the deep stop, but it is strongly recommended that a shallow safety stop be made with or without the deep stop in keeping with the experiments of Pilmanis (1975).
It is important to note that neither algorithm provides deep stops for decompression dives since there is ample experimental data [Blatteau et al (2005), Gerth et al (2007), and Gutvik et al (2007)] that indicate that this practice often produces an increase in the risk of DCS.
For more information and detailed "Liberal vs Conservative" algorithm comparison charts - see Scuba Diving Magazine's ScubaLab "Digging Deep on 2009's New Dive Computers".

I have tried this and the original. I prefer this one because it is a lot more creamier and buttery which makes my lips feel more nourished. I also love the smell and... Taste? I don't fancy the SPF smelling and tasting lip balms even though SPF is a bonus. It lasts a long time, around a couple of hours without wiping or licking. It gives a nice shine to your lips too but not glossy. Just healthy. This is my hang bag necessity! When you purchase this you will not regret...
You can purchase them for $3 from iherb.com. Discount code allows $5 off you order ($10 off for orders over $40) CODE: - I bought mine for $1.65 from iherb.com. I used a discount code aswell that got me $5 off or $10 for orders over $40. CODE: ZEH931
I really like this Chapstick it smells so good and it's just a good everyday Chapstick the texture is really nice and not too waxy. The only thing this wouldn't be good for is for super chapped lips and it doesn't have SPF
At first I was in love with the smell, it reminded me of mango sorbet but after a while it was really sickening. The texture wasn't smooth enough it was a bit too buttery.

i love collecting lip balms... this is my first burts bees purchase. when i first opened and tried it in it kind of smelled like... cardboard? which really made me disgusted but then after reapplying it smelled like pineapples. im a big mango lover and i expected this to smell/taste like mango. but after another application i could smell the hint of mango. the product itself is not waxy at all, its very smooth, definitley moisturizing and hydrating. i want to try other ones, maybe the original formula. the packaging itself is pretty basic, yellow plastic with a red pop off cap. you can twist the product up to get more.

great, moisturizing, and makes lips smooth for a LONG TIME <3
it also adds a shine to your lips, and makes them look healthy (it's almost like a balm and gloss)... and slowly soaks in.
the only thing is that this melts super easily, and can be a little tooooo greasy but other than that it's great. :) ( it also doens't smell like anything lol :) )
Okay, so I am not a fan at all of the original Burt's Bee's. It sits weird, I don't like the smell and it's drying.
But THIS is like magic in a tube. It smells amazing and is so moisturizing. I use it every day and will continue to use it until I die. It makes my lips smooth and kissable.
The one thing that annoys me is that sometimes the actual chapstick part won't roll back down and I have to push it down, which is a little yucky but a sacrifice I will make for this.

I have no clue what other reviewers are talking about. This lip balm is the BOMB! Bad pun intended. My lips get dry and kinda hard and flaky. And something inside me says "PICK, pick! ! It can only get better". And of course it gets much worse. I was looking for original lip balm from Burt's Bees due to the good reviews, but I got this instead. A little worried, I put it on. And applied throughout the day. My lips drank it up, but still left balm on top so it really feels like it is doing something. This balm is not a as hard as the original, but I love it. It leaves sort of a natural glossy touch (which is cool cause I don't wear makeup but now its like I wear lip gloss). It is not a goopy gross lip gloss though. It is very nice! I found even after neglecting my lips for a little while and they start going back to a bad state, I apply some and within a few hours, my lips are moisturized (not in a greasy way) and smooth. I also like that it does not break me out around my mouth, which petroleum did. And actually this works better than petroleum. YES I said it! I even used petroleum as a kid. Oh well. I am definitely going to repurchase. Again and again. Please try it!

Mmm.. I love this. Tastes amazing, so rich and creamy, super moisturizing.
Pleasantly surprised with this. I liked the original Burt's Bees for the minty scent however on a whole, the product didn't do much for me for moisture. Then I tried the Honey one (which is disgusting) so since then I never have been too interested in the balms until I saw this one. This balm is really nice, not too waxy but not too oily/greasy or thin either. A few layers of it is good enough to prime and provide instant moisture on the lips.
Personally I don't need my lip balms to last long, I just need them to be lightweight and do it's job because typically I have other lip color products to go over it later. The mango butter balm instantly makes my lips silky smooth for lipstick. This balm really feels like it sinks into the skin instead of being a coat of wax sitting on top of the lips. Definitely will re-buy.
Nice. I've gone through a few tubes of these and I like the smooth, moisturizing formula, the scent, and the fact that this is penetrating enough to last on my lips all night. I've never used the original Burt's Bees balms because menthol is very drying for the lips, but I have to say that this is more moisturizing than the grapefruit version, which is lighter and has more slip. This isn't, however, as moisturizing as the pomegranate version, which has a stronger scent but works a touch better.

The ISS was launched in 1998, and now it's getting old and rusty and needs renovation. An addition will be added with a BEAM (Bigelow Expandable Activity Module), which is a kind of balloon that is carried up to space flat and blown up after it arrives. Robert Bigelow is the man behind the famous NIDS ranch (NOTE: Subscribers can still listen to this show).
Once we can spend more time in space, who knows what we'll discover?
Making space stations out of fabric offers several advantages, the biggest plus being that they are lighter in weight. It may be surprising to learn that they are also safer: They give better protection than metal ones against bombardments from micrometeors and the large amount of space junk that is in orbit around Earth. They are also less likely than metals to generate dangerous radiation when bombarded with cosmic rays.
Bigelow hopes to recoup his costs by renting out the inflatable ISS to NASA and to other countries that want to research in space. But if he can't get scientific interest, he can always use it for space tourism.
Who knows what we'll discover when we stop listening to what people TELL us about Visitor encounters and start listening to the contactees themselves. Anne Strieber has talked to 23 of these fascinating people, just for our subscribers, and if you subscribe today, you can listen to them ALL.

The Grumman E-2 Hawkeye is an all-weather, aircraft carrier-capable tactical Airborne Early Warning (AEW) aircraft. This twin-turboprop airplane was designed and developed during the late 1950s and early 1960s by the Grumman Aircraft Company for the United States Navy as a replacement for the earlier E-1 Tracer, which was rapidly becoming obsolete. E-2 performance has been upgraded with the E-2B, and E-2C versions, where most of the changes were made to the radar and radio communications due to advances in electronic integrated circuits and other electronics.
The fourth version of the Hawkeye is the E-2D, which first flew in 2007.The E-2 also received the nickname "Super Fudd" because it replaced the E-1 Tracer "Willy Fudd". In recent decades, the E-2 has been commonly referred to as the "Hummer" because of the distinctive sounds of its turboprop engines, quite unlike that of turbojet and turbofan jet engines. The E-2 and its sister, the C-2 Greyhound, are currently the only propeller airplanes that operate from aircraft carriers.

United States Attorney Deborah R. Gilg announced that United States District Court Judge Joseph F. Bataillon sentenced Sabastian Bluehorse Cook, age 20 of Macy, Nebraska, to 36 months imprisonment following his conviction for abusive sexual contact. Cook was further ordered to serve a term of supervised release of five years following his release from prison.
On July 2, 2011, Cook and another male were placed in a cell at the Macy Jail on the Omaha Indian Reservation. Cook was observed on surveillance video climbing on top of and otherwise inappropriately touching the other male who had passed out on the floor of the cell. When the jailers went to the cell to separate the two males, the jailers observed Cook to be rubbing the buttocks of the other male with his hand inside the boxer shorts of the other male.
This case was investigated by the FBI.

Waste Reduction Systems
When a municipality has outdated waste water handling and treatment plant facilities, bagged waste may be the only option. Conventional pulpers can sometimes handle the task, but an InSinkErator Waste Xpress system is far better. That's because it efficiently processes all your food waste without the need to use cardboard or other special materials.
Simply put all liquid and solid waste into the food waste disposer, where it's first ground and then reduced by up to 85% of its original volume in the dewatering section. Ten bags of waste can be turned into less than two, so there's less to haul away.
Food scraps, placemats, napkins, jelly packets, straws -- Waste Xpress® can handle virtually all normal wastes. Our systems can process up to 700 lbs. per hour, and install under any standard dish table.

Oppo Digital's BDP-83 universal Blu-ray player
Got the update in my email inbox today about the Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray player—looks like it'll be a winner if you're a fan of other Oppo Digital products.
No, the price isn't quite as low as some of Oppo's upconverting universal DVD players. But the company divulged some details, and much to our satisfaction, the BDP-83 will be a universal player—pop your SACDs, DVD-As in there as well as your Blu-rays, DVDs and CDs—and it will be much less expensive than the only other universal Blu-ray player out there, Denon's recently announced $3,800 DVD-A1UDCi player.
Oppo says the estimated price of its player will be $499 to $599, and it's looking into an "Early Adoption Program" to get a few out this month or next month so people can start checking them out.
Here's what else the company said in its letter:
One of the major design goals for the BDP-83 is to deliver first-class video quality for both Blu-ray and DVD. We based and expanded upon our top-of-the-line DV-983H up-converting DVD player and fully utilize the unparalleled performance of the VRS by Anchor Bay video processing solution. You can expect all the high-end video features including Source Direct for DVD and Blu-ray, high definition HDMI scaling, Edge and Detail Enhancement options, and 1080p24Hz output for both Blu-ray and DVD.
We did not stop at just video performance. We further refined the audio stage, including the addition of discrete stereo outputs and increasing the power and efficiency of the power supply. For SACD playback, the BDP-83 supports direct DSD over HDMI and DSD-to-analog without any PCM conversion, a very unique feature.
With the BDP-83, we intend to release a full-featured universal Blu-ray Disc player that supports BD Profile 2.0 (BD-Live), DVD, SACD, DVD-Audio, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio. As of this writing, the BDP-83 supports BD Profile 1.1 (BONUSVIEW), DVD-Video, SACD, and bitstreaming of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Progress is being made on a daily basis as our engineers work diligently around the clock to further enable DVD-Audio, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio onboard decoding, and BD Profile 2.0.
The BDP-83 is currently undergoing an extensive and thorough Beta Test Program. We greatly appreciate all the feedback from our beta testers, as without their hard work and extraordinary attention to detail, the BDP-83 would not be the high quality product that our customers have come to expect from us.
Yup, we've come to expect a lot from Oppo, and we can't wait to see how the BDP-83 stacks up.

This lens is a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture telephoto optimized for digital SLR cameras. The multi layer lens coating reduces flare and ghosting, which is a common problem with digital SLR cameras. ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion) glass elements reduce chromatic aberration to a minimum and also ensure sharp, quality images of high contrast. It creates an excellent image quality for both 35mm film and digital SLR cameras. A 46mm drop-in filter holder in the rear part of the lens barrel facilitates the use of different filters, including a polarizing filter.
The HSM models (Sigma, Nikon and Canon mounts) provide fast, silent AF function as well as full- time manual focus override. It incorporates an inner focusing system, which enables the overall length of the lens to stay the same while focusing, ensuring convenient handling and ease of use.
By simply adding an optional APO teleconverter (sold separately), this lens can be used as a 420mm F4 AF ultra-telephoto lens with a 1.4X EX teleconverter, or a 600mm F5.6 AF ultra-telephoto lens with a 2X teleconverter.
4 Year Sigma USA Authorized Dealer Warranty
In addition to the 1 year international warranty, when you register this EX lens with Sigma you will receive an extra 3 year extended warranty against defective materials or workmanship. Click here to register your warranty »

Top 10 Ground-breaking Data Breaches of 2010
November 17, 2010
Top 10 Ground-breaking Data Breaches of 2010In October, the Financial Times reported that 2010 will be the first year data theft will exceed the loss of physical assets in dollar value. Yet, the total volume of data breaches has dropped from 2009.* This year provided a blend of innovative attacks, updated vectors, and good old entertaining hacks. This mixed bag proved costly for enterprises and governments. Join Imperva Director of Security Strategy, Rob Rachwald, as he investigates this emerging trend and reveals the top 10 data breaches of 2010. Topics will include:

Investigating Data Security: The New Paradigm in Info Security
September 15, 2010
Investigating Data Security: The New Paradigm in Info SecurityOne major challenge in data security is the lack of awareness into which controls improve security outcomes. Typically, security controls are chosen based on anecdotes, personal experiences, and perhaps private conversations with peers. Today's IT professionals lack the metrics, raw collection capabilities, and public sharing that are essential in making informed risk decisions. As a result, organizations are forced to learn by trial and error with minimal public data to build upon. Join Imperva CTO, Amichai Shulman as he details the findings from one of the most comprehensive data security studies, which surveyed nearly 1000 security and IT professionals. This webinar provides:

July 21, 2010
The Industrialization of Hacking: How to Stop Organized, Automated, and Mass Produced BotsToday's cybercrime industry operates like a scene from the Industrial Revolution. With technical innovation in production and efficiency in the division of labor, industrialized hacking utilizes automated attack techniques designed to boost output and increase revenue. Modern hacking has evolved from a single attack executed by an individual with a laptop, to massive attack campaigns administered by an organized network of zombies operated by a sole command and control center. Join Imperva CTO, Amichai Shulman as he uncovers the industrial modernization of hacking threatening individuals, organizations, and government alike. This informative webinar includes:

Investigating Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attack 2.0
June 23, 2010
Investigating Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attack 2.0Web servers beware. Imperva's research lab, the Application Defense Center (ADC), has uncovered a type of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack setting a new standard for power, efficiency, and invisibility. This new breed of attack has already infected hundreds of web servers worldwide. Unlike traditional DDoS methods that capitalize on bot-infected PCs, hackers have now turned web servers into payload-throwing bots. Using a basic software program equipped with a dashboard and control panel, hackers configure the IP, port, and duration of the attack. Hackers simply insert the URL they wish to attack, click, and go. The bot attacks can instantly bring down web sites or target specific applications for malicious data theft. Join Imperva Director of Security Strategy, Rob Rachwald and Imperva Web Research Team Leader, Tal Be'ery for a deeper look into this evolving attack. The informative webinar will include:

March 18, 2010
Hacking Inc. - Automated, Organized and Financially-Motivated: Are You Prepared to Stop Them?Since the dawn of the internet age, hackers have been exploiting (and profiting from) vulnerable Web applications. In turn, the security community has been racing to implement effective counter-measures to combat those Web attacks. Hackers unleashed network-centric attacks and worms in the late 1990's and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) were developed o protect the network. The early 2000s saw the rise of targeted application layer attacks such as SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and the first Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) were introduced to bolster those applications. In the intervening 10 years, hacking has become big business with a well organized infrastructure, defined roles and responsibilities, and sophisticated attack vector automation that generates large-scale attacks of unprecedented size, speed, and devastation. In order to successfully stand up to the "industrialization of hacking," Next-Generation Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) are being developed. Join Imperva CTO, Amichai Shulman and Chief Security Strategist Brian Contos as they detail both the evolution of Web application attacks and the corresponding growth of the Web Application firewall.

2012 Winner Spotlight: Matthew Newlin, Tenor
Matthew Newlin, recent winner of the Opera Birmingham Competition, returns to the The Santa Fe Opera Apprentice Program where he will perform Condulmiero in Rossini's Maometto II and cover Matteo in Strauss' Arabella. He has also been accepted into Florida Grand Opera's Young Artist Studio for the 2012-13 season where he will perform 1st Priest and Armored Guard (Tamino cover) in Die Zauberflöte and The Notary (Elvino cover) in Bellini's La Sonnambula. Last season Matthew performed The English Tailor in Menotti's The Last Savage and covered The Captain in Wozzeck at Santa Fe and performed Tamino while completing a Professional Diploma in Opera at the Chicago College of Performing Arts.

He is also a winner of the American Opera Society's Scholarship Competition and a 3rd place winner of The Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions Regional Finals.
Other operatic roles include le Mari in Poulenc's Les mamelles de Tirésias, Frederick in The Pirates of Penzance, The Teapot in Ravel's L'enfant et les Sortilèges, Satyavan in Holst's Sāvitri, and the leads in Stravinsky's Mavra and Janáček's The Diary of One Who Disappeared, which he also covered at Chicago Opera Theater.

Do you have any features that look like your mom's or dad's? Maybe you have his eyes, her nose or some other characteristic. Do you have any of your heavenly Father's features? "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God…" (Rev.4:8) But what about His children? We are told throughout scripture that we are to be as He is; (Lev. 11:44a; 19:2; 20:7,26; 1 Peter 1;15; 1 John 1:7).
Last Wednesday, at about midnight, one guy shoved something up my dad's nose, another person shoved something down his throat, and then the kicker – this guy took a knife and cut my dad's midsection wide open. And we thanked him for it.
Psalms 139 is the strongest, most undeniable argument for when "life" begins in the womb. This passage makes it very clear all life is divinely ordained by God, formed by God, and designed by and developed by God. Having said that, let's talk about our own life.
Ecclesiastes 3:9-14 (Contemporary English Version): "What do we gain by all of our hard work? I have seen what difficult things God demands of us. God makes everything happen at the right time.
We go through a lot to do "church". Think of the time and money and effort and energy put into making sure we've got a place to meet on Sundays, all the work that goes into the various events and traditions. People give up so much in the name of church, so today I ask you, "Why?" What's the point?"
OK guys, we've got a problem, it's Valentine's Day. If there was ever a day the pressure is on to prove your love, this is it. And there are countless ideas out there, but every one of them could just as easily backfire, since one woman might love what another would not. And if you ask your special someone how you can show your love, well, then you run the risk of her saying that if you really loved her you'd know.
God hates sin, not sinners. He hates sin because of what it does to the sinner (redeemed and unredeemed). For the redeemed, yielding themselves to sin can lead them back into the dominant control and slavery they have been set free from. For the unredeemed, sin piled upon sin takes them deeper into sin and farther from a sensitivity to God and need for salvation. Sin at its most basic form means to "miss the mark" Romans 2:23 tells us we have all done this. So in essence sin is sin is sin. But there are some sins God ...
Aren't you thankful today for the wonderful saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, who through His salvation, our spiritual identity and eternal destiny were changed? (2 Cor. 5:17; Romans 6:23b).
I have so many great memories of my grandma, especially when all the cousins would be together, playing in the basement while all the grown-ups were upstairs. Sometimes, we even all got to stay overnight down there. It was awesome, except for one thing: the coatrack. It was one of those things that was always there but you didn't always notice it, unless it was the middle of the night and you woke up and looked toward the one ray of light. That's when I saw what I was sure was a person or a monster - whatever it ...
Last week, we saw the righteousness that Jesus "filled up" for us – and put on our record in our baptism. We saw him doing everything that was "fitting" for that righteousness, living a perfect life, more perfect than even the most polished celebrity at the most posh event could ever be.
Some things are just fitting, aren't they? They are just supposed to be a certain way. Take the Golden Globes. Did you see the show? Everyone who is anyone in Hollywood was there. And everything was just right.
"How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders!" (Daniel 4:3) These words spoken by a king of the King of kings and Lord of lords are to be the focus of every Christian in today's world.
Do you ever feel that being a child of God isn't paying out like you thought it should? The childlike confidence that Jesus will make everything better doesn't always seem to play out - when the wound doesn't heal, the need isn't met, the hurt doesn't go away. For us grown-ups, reality tends to set in and tarnishes some of that unbridled optimism.
If you are a bookkeeper, you understand the importance of organized filing and record-keeping. You are the ones we turn to in order to find a proof of a check, an important document or policy, etc.

"Is this stuff going on in Egypt a sign of the end of the world?" "If I lose my job, we'll never make it." "I'm worried that we'll lose our house." "What does all this mean for our kids?" "I can't take one more loss. I'll lose my mind!"
Caltech recently broke a 26-year, 310-game losing streak by beating Occidental in a Division III basketball game.
"Judge not, that you be not judged, for with the judgment you make you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get back."
We love these words that Jesus spoke in his Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 7:12). But as with many of his lessons, this one is prone to misapplication. Many trip over it and rise from the dust to follow a different path. Others pull this arrow out of their quiver to fire back at judgmental Christians.
Did you have a good Valentine's Day? Did you celebrate the love of your life? I hope you did.
Maybe you've heard this story about the guy that the Super Bowl trophy is named after.
We have recently endured our third snowfall of the year in Newton County.
Who is Jesus?
What does the heart do when it is full of sorrow? It cries out, and the cry of the heart is a song.
"Look the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world."
I recently came across a blog that said "Live each day like it's your last, and one day you'll be right." Someone might counter, "I live each day like I have all the time in the world, and so far, I've been right every time." Both of these observations are correct, but we recognize the wisdom in the first and the folly in the second. Time well spent is time cherished; time poorly spent leaves us with a stockpile of regret.
I wonder if our intrepid public servants at the Gold Dome understand how arrogant and out-of-touch they look to We the Unwashed - or if they even care.
Have you ever been confused by the Bible?
Health care reform or rather an alleged repeal of health care reform is in the news.
The beginning of January always carries with it certain rituals for me. I clean out my files, both paper and electronic, and replace the batteries in the smoke detectors. I review my insurance policies and start preparing my annual report to the IRS.
If you remember the story of the wise men from Matthew 2, you probably remember that they did something that might strike you as a little odd. They brought stupendously valuable gifts to a baby, gold and incense and myrrh. And these three kings, these powerful, influential, important men, bowed to a child.

Guys, I need your eyes and screens for a moment.
I started to paint this yesterday and all was fine and dandy until I moved the image from my Cintiq screen to my normal screen and oh boy, was I not prepared for that.
On my Cintiq it looks more blue (which I was aiming for), however on my normal computer screen the darker shades of blue look REALLY purple. the reds are ok, but the blues are way too purple and bright.
Do the blue tones look more blue to yo, or more purple?
Attachment 1638094
It looks more purple to me than blue :D dear goodness I LOVE YOUR STYLE!! Thank you for dropping by! I'll definitely follow you to check out what more you have instore!!

7 Strange Things Trucks Have Spilled (Besides 40,000 Pounds of Edy's Ice Cream)
Earlier tonight, the AP reported that 40,000 pounds of Edy's ice cream had spilled from a semitrailer in Fort Wayne, Indiana. (Merry Christmas!) With help from friends at TruckSpills.com, we found some other crazy things that have littered the highway.
1. 40,000 Pounds of Sausage
Back in March of 2009, a two-truck crash in Sheboygan County scattered 40,000 pounds of meat products on Interstate 43 in Wisconsin. Mmmm, meat products.
2. 5,000 Gallons of Molasses
If any town might prepare for a sticky truck spill, you'd expect it to be Sugar Land, Texas. That's where, in 2008, motorists came face to face with a monstrous wave of molasses. 5,000 gallons spilled when the truck carrying it jack-knifed and rolled over. The cleanup took eight hours and 8 trillion handy wipes.
3. A 56-Foot Whale
(Warning: Disgusting photo ahead!)
The Taiwanese city of Tainan looked like the set of a slasher movie after a 56-foot sperm whale exploded on its way through town. At the time, the whale was dead, having beached itself earlier, and was being carted via flatbed truck to a research facility for autopsy. As the whale lay rotting in the sun, gases began to build up inside its carcass until they detonated in a flood of whale guts.
4. Lots of Keystone Light
In 2008, when a driver lost control of his rig on a Colorado interstate ramp, the capsized trailer was shorn open like a beer can . . . full of beer cans. That's right: this particular truck was carrying twelve-packs of smooth-drinking Keystone Light. Keystone markets itself as "Always Smooth, Even When You're Not"--like, say, when you take a ramp too fast and crash your tractor-trailer. Fortunately, the "uninjured" beer was recovered and loaded on another truck, leaving me to imagine that a poor beer-lover somewhere bought himself a very foamy twelve-pack.
5. $2 Million in Change
As tough as the economy is, maybe people should start combing the highways for loose change. In 2004, a wrecked armored truck spilled $2 million in coins on the New Jersey Turnpike. In 2005, an armored truck caught fire and splashed $800,000 in scalding quarters on an Alabama road. And in 2008, a truck carrying 3.5 million nickels (worth about $185,000) to the Miami Federal Reserve dumped its load after a violent wreck that killed the driver.
6. A Ship Engine
What do you do when a 200-ton marine engine destined for a San Diego shipyard flips off its flatbed? Get a crane. Actually, get three cranes--and a new road. The massive engine pancaked cars and even shoved one below the pavement. True to Murphy's law, the truck driver involved went to the wrong address, realized his mistake, backed up, hit a curb, and—kaboom! For a cool description of how engineers put the engine back on a truck, check out the original article on the crash.
7. 35,000 Pounds of Explosives
In 2005, a truck carrying 35,000 pounds of explosives rolled over on a Utah highway and (in classic A-Team fashion) blew up moments after the driver and passenger escaped. The blast dug a crater 30 feet deep and 70 feet across. It also propelled concrete road barriers hundreds of feet in the air and twisted nearby railroad tracks like straws. Fortunately, no one died.

Derrin Hansen got to the end of his Thursday night press conference and reflected on his team's unlikely late-season hot streak.
The University of Nebraska at Omaha had just beaten Indiana-Purdue-Fort Wayne for its third straight Summit League victory. The Mavericks, naturally picked last in their first year in the league and their second season in Division I, found themselves a game behind fourth-place Oakland.
"You want to feel great about it, but you wind up feeling more relieved and then you start watching film 10 minutes (after the press conference) and getting ready for the next one," Hansen said. "But it's better than the alternative."
The focus of that late night scouting report is Oakland — considered by most the dominant program in the Summit for the past decade.
The Golden Grizzlies tilt regularly with power conference behemoths — and though they didn't knock any off this season, they blew a big lead and lost in overtime to Pittsburgh and hung close with Michigan State until the final minutes.
They have arguably the best shooter in the country in 6-foot-5 junior Travis Bader, who leads the nation with 99 3-pointers — including 11 in a 47-point outburst Jan. 24 against IUPUI.
They've got a skilled post player in 6-10 sophomore Corey Petros, who averages 12.7 points and 8.5 rebounds — and averages a Summit-best 10.3 rebounds in league games. And guard Duke Mondy is a Providence transfer who leads the country with 72 steals and is the Summit's in-league leader with averages of 6.3 assists and 3.8 steals.
It's a tall order for the Mavs, but it doesn't look quite as impossible as it might have a month ago, when they started Summit League play at 1-5, including a 91-79 loss at Oakland.
Since then, they are 4-1 in the Summit.
"Even though we're new, we didn't want to finish last in this conference," said junior guard Justin Simmons, who is averaging 20.7 points in his last 12 games and 15.8 overall. "We wanted to make a name for ourselves, and it starts now. I feel like the whole team is feeling the same way. We're starting to click."
UNO, which made 15 of its first 16 second-half shots against IPFW and shot 78.3 percent in the final 20 minutes to finish at a season-best 62.7, has shot 50.0 percent or better from the field in six of eight games. During the stretch, the Mavs have shot 53.5 percent while going 5-3.
"We try to get it from side to side, inside and outside, and when we do that, we're not bad," Hansen said.
Only Bader (25.0), South Dakota State's Nate Wolters (21.2) and IPFW's Frank Gaines (19.2) are scoring more in Summit games than Simmons.
Only North Dakota State (52.0) shoots better from the field as a team than does UNO (49.8) in league games.
"We started off slow at the beginning of the conference season, and now we're starting to pick it up and get it going," freshman guard Marcus Tyus said. "We've just got to play hard and work hard every game."
The Mavs have five league games left, with four against teams above them in the Summit standings. Still, last place seems an unlikely destination.
"We knew we were better than that," Tyus said.
